[Music]. the following program is a collection of. students talking about happening in the. sports world world it is meant to be.

comedic informative the opinions. expressed on this show do not. necessarily reflect the beliefs of their. peers their boss or ESPN there may be. some cuss words because that's how. Cubans is the real world talk if you are. a young please seek permission before. watching any. further hey why let's. go this show sticks the fact that you.

listen we are very very thankful. for the all-time leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers you. P up up damn it be a friend tell a. friend something nice could change their. life sport SP talking more about paig. she want the Yukon remember everybody we. see talking about some form of comes. from this tiny little school uh-huh you. newon SP Connecticut so whenever you.

give this answer i' would like everybody. to know this is a biased response from. VAR which is coming out a lot through. the media and being taken as like. journalism it's like hey we're all. talking right now this is good this is. good for sports not bad for sports we. need this to happen more often with that. being said be a journalist real quick. Zack he is going to go at cing Kong all. night how do you see this one go I mean. I'm I am looking forward to the Battle. of The Bigs but uh we had herly on last. week and that defense man that Yukon. defense is smothering and I don't care. if you're a fan of you or not if you've.

been betting on them if you've been. watching they are a covering machine. they've been dominating I think this. open up at 5 and 1/2 already moved to 7. and 1/2 but uh obviously um Newton the. point guard for us his his shots haven't. really been falling but still a. playmaker I'm excited about this one. tonight should be a blowout until your. point yeah I think 16 nates in the last. 30 years between the men and women so. yeah we going to talk our yeah as. and everybody's getting like upset about. it it's. like imagine if Diana terasi said yep. I'll take Caitlyn Clark over paage every. single day be like you people would be.

like get the hell out of our family that. ain't how this goes this tournament. though March Madness both the men's and. the women's has lived up to the hype. seemingly yeah it's been incredible and. dbut kind of snuck in there it's going. to be a blow tonight I mean that's it's. hard to believe that cuz finally like. you said we got cling Kong the 72. monster versus another 74 Ed so I it. feels as though this is where all roads. led to now 7 and 1/2 points in a. national championship game between two. one seats like has that ever happened. probably not cuz Dan Hurley's got that.

dumps in the dragon yeah yeah which you. which you can respect of course but Ed. has been waiting for this moment and. when you lose to a 16 seed the year. before usually and I'm saying usually. cuz it's only happened one time before. this the year after Virginia won The. Natty so maybe everything is finally. lining up for Purdue 7 and a half is a. lot and if you're Yukon yukon's been. playing with their food a little bit in. the first half but they have been the. they might be the best basketball of all. basketball team of all time in the. second half so maybe just do the second. half line and just not even worry about.

it okay smart take it home yeah what do. you they've been unbeliev like 30 run in. the second half NC State they put away. in the second half easily like that's. just been how they've been is anyone. given Purdue a chance I am hell yeah so. am I love 7'5 got bet on 7 fo5 he's got. if he scores 52 and everyone else plays. well they win did you see what I did the. last time I saw a 7'5 guy what you do I. exited the Royal Rumble yeah pretty. smartart self-preservation saw a 7'5 guy.

exactly not just him I got the hell out. of it not just him the other guy that. was in the ring uh just moved an entire. ring this weekend because he runs 45. milph off the road oh you're talking. about Braun breaker yeah big so he was. also in he like run at me a little bit I. was also reminded last night by uh one. American nightmare that as I was getting. into the Royal Rumble we made eye. contact for an uncomfortably long amount. of time he was in the match at that time. M and uh he was just staring at me from.

The Ring apron as I was walking up the. steps and I was like Cody rhods about to. kick. me face is Cody Ro's about to kick my. ass and I look inside and there's a. human that's bigger than you're supposed. to be built and I said give me that I'm. not supposed to be here I got my I got. my snakes skin boots on exactly get me. the hell out of here and I did that but. 7 fo5 can really do some special things. speaking of special there's a tag team. that's been brought back in this year. 2024 and the world has.

erupted because of it Tim McAfee hasn't. always been the biggest wrestling fan I. don't think he ever truly comprehended. why I loved it so much as a child but. now that I'm in it he's been paying. attention to it cuz he's sport dad of. course yeah good pop one of these. members of this tag team is his favorite. human in entertainment. wow he's a. rapper hilarious. entertaining confused.

why but. electrifying and his tag team partner he. the guy that I beat in WrestleMania like. a minute 45 Right light work then he. lost the Snoop. Dog and I think he was on like a like. a75 match lost streak makes sense and he. finds his old tag team partner they. climbed a ladder now they're our tag. team champions of Monday Night hell yeah. ladies and gentlemen r on the truth. feelings in the M awesome.

bus hadn't been in a ring in 6 months. came out of May and just beat your ass. yikes okay just beat your ass I was in a. $10,000 suit I was there to host. WrestleMania I was not there to have. matches especially surprise matches and. not only that you literally had George. KD help you beat me so it wasn't like. you egged him on I didn't cheat I didn't. cheat did he have help he had help I. didn't cheat I didn't cheat that's not H. the barrier.

and your tag team partner was in his I'm. a dumbass era you know and he tried I. have never been a dumbass I've that era. I've been smartest in. the he he's allergic to being a dumb ass. that's right yeah he is y well maybe. maybe just more of a jackass then yeah. most who are you yeah wor are you in WWE. 2K 24 are you who are a wrestling Tech.

who are in wrestling ring tell Miz look. I know it's going to be a tough pill to. swallow 81 overall in the game hey. that's that's hard fought did you see my. 2023 it wasn't really good I think I had. three wins the whole year to get it 81 I. was happy hold on okay let's go back oh. now swallow that now you're a champion. okay you're on top of the world you got. definitely you got people saying Miz is. awesome how's it feel this is like like. it's got to feel pretty good can I be. truly honest childood dream of you to. have this weird I'm not used to getting.

cheered I honestly have no idea what to. do what to say because I want to be. liked I enjoy I've thrived for it for so. long and I think all you want in WWE is. earn respect and get the respect that. you've fought for your entire career to. hear the fans now to be with him it's. been truly an honor and it's been. incredible and I've been loving every. second of it hey do not cry I'm not. going to cry I'll be all right Conor's. got a question truth funny enough. speaking of crying uh last night I don't.

know if you saw but your childhood hero. John Cena comes in saves the day when. when something like that happens is that. where you do get emotional you kind of. go back to when you were a kid watching. John growing up or what are the feelings. when you see something like that I'm. glad you asked that question I did cry. okay you know what I'm saying bro I used. to every Saturday morning I would sit. there you know what I'm saying and watch. John. Cena why is everybody laughing they. doing the same they were doing the same.

damn thing every Saturday morning do. them open challenges dog you can't see. me bro it was a moment in time for me. man did you like he comes out helps Cody. we're ped about Cody rhods finishing his. story oh my gosh man. Cody Cody Rose. y'all my childhood hero John. Cena get to. him it's a little slow start I didn't. expect that yeah running out of juice. they might be running out of juice no.

Cody deserve that do I agree but I'm. saying they might be running out of. juice no y'all didn't run out of no. juice are. you what's up what's up what's up what's. up it is still got it I mean if we were. talking about the main event I dare I. say that that was the best Main Event. I've ever seen in WWE Wrestlemania. history you got to see everything the. fact a lot of people were like I want. Stone Cold Steve Austin I love that it. was the Undertaker because the. Undertaker is the locker room leader is.

the person that has always put a if he. puts a stamp on you that means more than. everything as a WWE Superstar and the. fact that Undertaker was out there to. help Cody RH says hey we have a new face. we have a new era and this is Cody. rhod's era tell him man okay truth. you've been here 181 19 years yeah Cody. rhods is era you know whenever you get. that title the company is kind of placed. on your back what should we know about. the guy who's about to carry the company. a little bit but from your perspective I.

think he's he's matured now he's a whole. different Cody Rose uh finishing a book. finishing a story dog get only room to. you know what I'm saying for a new one. to elevate so I think we're going to see. a lot of good stuff from Cody Rose. coming up how about you m you know it's. hard he lives on the road this guy Cody. he's everywhere we all do he loves no. not yeah but I'm saying he's since what. I mean as soon as he came back he was. like three House shows three like every. single week even through the torn PEC. obviously he goes out and does it he.

recovers he's back same exact schedule. like feels like he's obviously been. built to do this but it is kind of cool. to watch like Michael Cole get choked up. he's like crying out there then you're. seing a lot of people that have been. around the business a long time crying. like in the back for Cody for his family. I feel like that's a sense of the entire. company almost I remember seeing Cody's. first match at Ohio Valley wrestling. when we were in developmental and then I. watched his journey from Dashing Cody. rhods to having an ugly mustache to. leaving trying to find a way to become a.

main eventer coming back to WWE and. saying you know what I am a main eventer. I'm ready for this failing the first. time at the first WrestleMania I think. only made him stronger and made his fan. base stronger and made us all want to YN. for it yearn for it much much more and. that's exactly what we did we wanted it. we needed it and he had to do it at this. WrestleMania and that's exactly what he. did he finished the story he went away. very aggressive tattoo was placed on his. neck but in awesome it is awesome T has.

a question for you Champions yeah just. for you guys both okay listen like Miz I. understand you're you understand people. you know you're the champion now okay. but people have always wanted to kick. your ass people have always kind of not. been able to stand you truth you're. you're as baby of a face that you can. get everyone loves you everyone loves. you but my dad you're my dad's favorite.

Target on your back every single week. how how do you flip that switch mentally. and kind of you know go get what's yours. now well WrestleMania is always our new. year this is the start of our new year. and we plan on taking these titles and. being fighting Champions I think we. always hear ah we're going to be a. fighting champion we're going to take on. everyone and anyone but it's about. elevating these titles elevating the tag.

team Division and making sure that we're. elevating everyone and giving everyone. what they want and that is moments that. will last a lifetime that will stand the. test of time we gave it to him at. WrestleMania we're going to start it. here at Monday night raw at Wells Fargo. tonight hell yeah well said a great. answer that was a really good answer yes. that was like a press conference answer. wow I'm pretty good at press conference. fat real I like that y'all cool right. who me and Miz yeah yeah I beat his ass. like a minute 40 cool now you cheated.

go he's a baby face now though so let's. remember that he's representing Ohio. very well with his tag team champion he. is I mean I I know Miz doesn't like to. to spread a lot of nice uh things our. directions that was very nice of him but. I've been watching Miz since the real. world days back in the day way back in. the day so yeah I've been I've been on. The Miz train for a long long time so. that's the thing about us with the Miz. MH we generation have literally seen him. since the birth of The Miz right on the. real world so like whenever we meet him.

or see him we fire off a question from. one of the last 30 years and then he's. got a well my view on it and then he. gives his entire story on it what a. legend I'm happy for the Miz I'm happy. for our truth they've beat they've. gotten their asses beat and their bodies. beat down for decades now oh yeah and. now they're Champs again and the people. of them congrats hey both of you. deserved the hell out of this congrats. amazing. R boys big news happening today there's. a solar eclipse happening y okay it's.

yep moon is coming right in front of the. sun yes okay bam for how long like. you're more of a door than a window. everybody's going to be saying to the. moon it's a couple hours allegedly. Indianapolis Indiana is the Hub of the. best view of the solar eclipse allegedly. we're clearly not there we have reached. out to Kantor you know of uh The Weather. Channel see if he can stop by and let us. know what this means this is supposed to. be absurd it's supposed to be insane.

they've been hyping this thing up all. over the place and I think there's. Rockets getting sent into the sky the. hell is going on with the solar eclipse. of the heart yeah they're they're firing. A baracus to try and discover some sort. of invisible matter that will unlock. secrets of the universe that is real. that is real the particle collider. they're also running firing that thing. up they're firing that thing up during. the solar eclipse I am dead serious this. is what why they're n also wants you to. study your animals today because animals. do weird during the eclipse that's. their that's their like a thunderstorm. too is is this 2K again is that how.

they're acting about this uh some people. are there's a section of the internet. Conor section of the internet who thinks. a lot of stuff's going to happen I think. the world's ending today I've heard. thatou people the world's ending I don't. believe that but I've heard that from a. few howy Road just became our champion. that right it doesn't seem fair all. right everybody look up to the sky when. a solar eclipse happens because it's a. big deal so let's got of glasses on when. supposed to happen check your eyes uh 3. 3 something I think 3 something EAS 320. 322 I think in Indianapolis is the. perfect view of the moon right in front.

of the sun cuz when the moon hits the. sun it's the time it. is also happening today Cooper Dee of. the Iowa Hawkeyes will be having his pro. day if you do recall who Cooper deene is. he's the white yes that is playing. cornerback for Iowa and Pont returner. allegedly supposed to run 43 42. potentially he got injured but he is a. first round Corner going be drafted out. of Iowa he had a punt return against.

Minnesota that got called back for a. fugay call playmaker star and a man who. uh everybody thinks potentially going to. change your talking point in the NFL. next year finally debut uh everything DB. host whenever you see uh an athlete is. how we. describe that's high school yeah like. that that's high school Cooper jeene and. this is in Iowa no look pass obviously. the guy's a filthy athlete has been will. continue to be yeah we're throwing oops. off the backboard in high school games.

in Iowa uh whatever I think it sophomore. first dunk or whatever the case is dbut. whenever you think about what Cooper. jeene could potentially become what are. you trying to judge is it his speed is. it his quickness is his Athletics what. do you think it's going to be for. whether or not he remains Corner which. is what everybody says but I have heard. some people say this guy looks perfect. for transition over to safety what do. you mean he looks perfectly for a. transition ever what are your thoughts. he he does have the body type you think. he can kind of out a little bit more but. great athlete he a return guy you see.

the basketball skills obviously uh some. hint of uh maybe some Jason seahorn. Dustin Fox Smith maybe hybrid but n he's. a dog man uh should be probably a top 15. top 20 pick uh pro day today obviously. get a lot of uh Scouts get their eyes on. him he dealt with the injury miss a lot. of time um but I'm excited to see him on. the next level man he should be a good. one what do you want to see de but if. you're watching his Pro Day obviously we. know he's probably going to run a fast. 40 you want to see how he changed. Direction his hips like what are you. looking at his exposive jumps the long. jump the verts all those things just see.

him move just seeing him move going. through a full workout gas going through. conditioning because once a guy is Miss. that type of football time you just want. to get your uh eyes on him then. obviously the medical the things we we. not privy to um that's going to be the. most important part I think his Pro Day. Ty as a Iowan you see Caitlyn Clark you. know go do what Caitlyn Clark has done. and she's coming to the Indiana Fever. and as Don Staley said she's going to. elevate the next level too Diana terasi. doesn't want to hear it. little wakeup call she said coming in as.

a person's from Yukon talking about. somebody that isn't from Yukon I do. believe that's potentially a part of it. but Iowa showing up right now yeah. Cooper deene about to go crazy today at. the pro day is that what everybody and I. was thinking yeah I think so I'm. obviously incredibly biased uh because I. am from Iowa but yeah I mean you look at. like he's been one of those guys too. where if you grew up in Iowa I think he. won I want to say he won four state. championships in a row in football he. was a quarterback went to Iowa I think. he wanted to play quarterback they moved. him to dback which who knows he's. probably not getting picked you know in.

the first round if he plays quarterback. instead but I mean what that that was. kind of the once he got hurt last year. and broke his leg you know going into. like the big 10 Championship it was like. when he was still healthy he was like. hey who knows maybe Cooper jeene is. going to be playing offense we're going. to get him several touches obviously. that doesn't work out but he did release. that he's fully healthy right now and I. think everyone who has watched him play. and kind of knew him growing up like. yeah the expectation is that his. athletically he is going to be. ridiculous everybody attacked Pierce for. what he said yes about Caitlin Clark.

standard conversation I think in pretty. much every locker room I've ever been in. so the people that are attacking him I. don't think who cares that's like actual. that's like actual conversation could. you imagine next year in a locker room. Cooper Dee locks down Justin Jefferson. oh like the things that are going to be. said to Justin Jefferson the things that. are going to be said to any wide. receiver that gets locked down by Cooper. to jeene I am pumped about that whole. thing coming back to the NFL seemingly. he's a dog man and hey it's Evolution.

hey this happens all right come this is. the first if if he pans out to what I. think he'll be I mean he'll probably be. the best white Corner we've seen in. national. football rer days are ahead it in rer. days are. ahead good luck out there. Cooper go get him. C now it is very abnormal what Cooper's. uh been able to accomplish thus. far. where go love you C keep going C joining.

us now ladies and gentlemen is another. man we're incredibly proud of not only. because he put a company on his back for. a long time and he came sprinting to the. ring with it right there on his back but. now that he's transferred into Hollywood. he's become for shoot one of the best. actors in Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. Michael Cole's goat Ricky steni ladies. and gentlemen the man who came out and. helped Cody win the WWE Championship.

there no we saw sport entertainment. that's a long Sprint that's a hamstring. or two waiting especially with how. chilly it was you look damn good and. obviously you came in and little. attitude adjustment for the trouble CH. oh hey the bloodline set the table man. they said uh anything goes so I just. happened to make it on time and anything. goes you know yeah and obviously Spanish. announce desk got cleared off uh because. we had no there's no way that that can. stand a WrestleMania and not be broken.

and I saw that it wasn't. broken a body through itan let's put a. body through it uh but Miz talked about. how the Undertaker comes out to help. Cody rhods and that's like the leader of. the lock room for so long so him being a. part of it is a huge deal obviously. stamping a new era you coming out and. helping especially because Cody Big Baby. Face obviously you coming out is like. the dawning of an coming to help a new. era is that how you saw it is that how. you feel so the great thing about WWE. right is we can all speculate on on.

everything it means and we all have our. own opinion if anyone more knows more. about that than me I I'd be hard pressed. to find that individual because for 20. years I've run down that ramp to a very. mixed response I understand that the. audience is allowed to have their own. opinion we're allowed to speculate on. what this could mean if if you know. anything about me you know that I try to. I wear my values on my sleeve words like. never give up hustle loyalty and respect.

and I always want a fair chance that's. it so in the biggest event of the year. with our most important prize on the. line I am just an advocate for a fair. chance okay you know I'm a huge fan of. Cody rhod but you also know I'm a huge. fan of Roman Reigns I believe Roman. Reigns is the greatest of all time. okay again again what's great about WW. is you can have your opinion and you can. voice yours and I think that's fantastic.

will Co will Cody rhods be the greatest. of all time he's put himself in a good. position saying you're the. goat what is that you're you're the go. this a. bar you're the goat oh. mik. me wow that's more of a donkey that's. more like a. jackass that's more that's more me first. of all thank you so.

much yeah cuz I I I know you don't just. do that for anybody so thank you it. means the world thank you but to your. point there you were saying is Cody. rhod's going to be the greatest SP time. we'll find out T yeah and that. does this what you get when you do a. live show. man this what you get when you bust your. ass for. decades thank you. [Applause].

so going going back to what I said about. Roman Reigns uh that doesn't mean that. Cody rhods cannot be the greatest of all. time I just want people to understand. that I think what's been done so far you. have to put Roman Reigns in that slot. but Cody's Cody's story said you know. the whole the whole theme of. WrestleMania was finishing the story his. story starts today I I told him in the. ring last night I'm sure he'll be able. to relay this same message when I got to.

embrace him I he had the championship in. his right hand and I said do you feel. that he said yes I said do you feel how. heavy it is he said yes I said it will. get heavier every day oh that's deep. because that is the burden you bear of. trying to craft the path to being the. greatest of all time I hope I hope and. this is should be the goal for the. business every performer should pass the. torch up so I hope a year from now 2. years from now 3 years from now we can. all sit here and be an advocate that.

Cody rhods is the greatest of all time. because that's the way it should work. awesome you're speaking from a man who. has obviously been there done that. getting go chance so obviously you. should be taken seriously but wrestling. fans are obviously going to be pissed. about something you said in there. something you said in there the beauty. of what we do man it is it is not. universally accepted what is universally. accepted is the passion is the energy is. the heartbeat we all come together over. this and we all share our opinions loud. and vocal and everyone in the WWE both.

Talent production and audience alike. knows that we are superstars and that. you are Superstar. character you. and without without. you I'm I'm just a dude in jean shorts a. ball cap and a T-shirt and kicking ass. kicking ass in the middle of without. them I'm not yeah but they you could be. no people in there Co anyways got a. question in sidebar I know there were. bust in your ass about wearing the same.

t-shirt last night I'm also wearing the. same t-shirt as last night boom so we're. good me and John C you and I were good. of course you guys are basically twins. John I wanted to uh ask you about your. life outside the ring yeah let this go. you need to soak it up they don't get it. John they don't get it I'll I'll change. my shirt but you guys know that comes. with a uniform change so uh last night. wasn't my last night so this doesn't. mean this is my last uniform. W oh nice nice nice what's that mean.

what's that mean we're just throwing. that means that uh I I've speculated a. lot about when it is that I hang up the. Jorts but uh it is it wasn't last night. and I still got I still got a little bit. of rubber left on the top. wow that feels big I don't want to. Bogart your question let's get get down. to BR that just turned into my question. hey that's breaking news there that's. nuts hey yeah baby John. we we can lean into that we have you. been feeling that for a while to last.

night reignite that that fire that. passion why is it so tough to to say. like yeah I'm going to I'm going to put. this down I'm going put this away for a. while where I'm not going to uh so it's. not tough because of the foundation I. laid and the promise I made to each and. every person who pays attention and. gives of themselves to WWE when I feel I. can no longer perform at the capacity of. the product it is time to step away. that's not that's not tough the toughest. thing is that I love it so much uh and. you can still do it at a high level uh. yeah so when that when that time is gone.

that means that it's done I I'm actively. trying to craft that path right now so. uh I i' I've put a Line in the Sand of. myself for for 50 and I honestly think. it's going to be before that uh there's. your breaking news hold you hold you I. I'll be 47 in a few weeks oh so we got. time still uh you got about 700 about a. th000 days to decide okay all hard time. nothing but um but you got this many are. calling this the greatest WrestleMania.

ever. right and and I agree what a spectacle. what a fantastic WrestleMania but that's. because of the talent that actually put. the time in I showed up for 90. seconds this is the greatest. WrestleMania with or without my. involvement and that is because of the. now the superstars we have now and their. contribution their contribution to the. business it is going to be time soon for. me to go and I I'm embracing that and. enjoying it and it allows me to be.

present don't. go I uh I can say this with the utmost. certainty I will always always be part. of the WWE family but the time to. compete in the ring has coming to a. close no. yeah days Days days I'm going to try to. do it in less okay well whatever the. case you look fantastic last night you. said 90 seconds. average 47y old that run out there is.

taking at least 4 minutes for. sure go get it that's what they're. saying I uh I do not feel 17 anymore I. feel 47 you're looking. 22 deot has a question for you John yeah. John this might be a stupid question. because uh we did see you butt ass naked. on the stage in front of world but do. you still get nervous when you run out.

for that 90 seconds in the biggest resum. ever I don't believe in a a construct. where there are stupid questions I think. there's a there's something to be. learned behind every question y thank. you John like that you uh I still get. nervous for everything I am nervous. right now so I still get nervous uh. yesterday was awesome because I had such. a small role I really was able to enjoy. it and I could feel the moment where. even Beyond Myself my heart jumps and I. can be like yo it's happening right now.

it's happening it's about to happen and. I can feel the nerves I can feel my. muscles tense up I can feel my heart. rate go from like 60 to 110 just. standing there watching the TV knowing. like it's almost time it's almost time I. still get that feeling every single time. I get to go out in front of you guys so. thank you very much isn't that that's a. dragon right that everybody's chasing. that all the you know I I've followed. and been a fan of the business for a. long time and every documentary that. comes out of somebody that's passed is. like I wish I could go get the same.

feeling of coming out of that curtain. and what it's like is that the dragon. that everybody's chasing forever and you. think you're just going to be able to. walk away from that because anytime we. [Applause]. hear it goes the place explodes I mean. that is it just absolutely yeah exactly. that's going to be tough not to have. right I need to go to their coffee. shop um so I think the dragon you talk. about. I this is just me thinking for other. people that's wrong no no we're we're.

discussing it's talk show so I think. when they retrospectively are like man I. just wanted to chase it they didn't give. theirselves a chance to be in it got it. when I describ it to you last night like. I felt all of it and I was in it and I'm. present and I'm so grateful for the. career Arc that you all have awarded me. because I've been able to do it in. sections I was the last pick I was I. started out in the warm-up matches I was. everybody's go through opponent I worked.

my way up to try to get some some Merit. I changed my character I changed my look. then I couldn't lose and then if Seena. loses we Riot and then it became very. polarizing then I became Superman and. now I've been around so long and I'm. such a part-time contributor that I do. get to be present and I do get to enjoy. it so I'm being weaned off the dragon. and that is beautiful for me because I. can look around and take in all these. moments rather than be on that lightning. fast treadmill of Friday Saturday Sunday.

Monday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday. those moments I get to show up I really. get to look around and love it and. breathe it in happy to hear that so I'm. being like weaned off the draft Yeah but. I'm happy to hear that you're taking it. in and enjoying it because in a lot of. professions and if all professional. sports this this is philosophy today on. the Pat McAfee show man we're getting. deep every day every day speaking of. here's like one of your biggest fans. yeah John I mean I agree with you know. like the talent in the ring last night. was part of the reason why this was the. best WrestleMania ever but me personally.

I've been in a WWE commercial in full. John Cena regalia you know marked out at. 30 years old last night can say the same. I've done the same thing yeah last night. at 34 when your music I mean I'm acting. like I'm I'm 13 years old so like it we. need you we need you around but I am. curious in terms of chasing the dragon. we Pat and I have talked about this a. bunch like do you find that kind of same. feeling I yes now with acting because. like no you have incredible.

acting chops I said it right after Ricky. sikki came out I was like John Cena's. going to win an Oscar someday he legit. is and I I'm curious when you first got. in if people kind of dismissed you or. looked the other way because of your WWE. background but like how is that whole. process I mean you're a you're a mega. star in in the acting world now as well. uh appreciate everything you said I. think it's just a matter of of finding. your stride. um one of these days it might have to. come at like a hall of fame or something. but I I want to be able to thank the WWE.

Universe for getting me ready for life. um and the skills that I learned. performing in front of a live audience. that is very vocal about how they feel. when something is good or when something. is not gives you immediate feedback it. gives you timing it allows you to focus. on storytelling if I'm not entertaining. you sobs are going to tell me I'm not. entertaining so I better sharpen my. skills real quick and be entertaining if. uh I Stumble if I pause if I'm not on my.

best on Monday or Friday the sound oh my. goodness you guys let me know you guys. have prepared me to take the skill set. that I've learned in. WWE and and put it forth in movies and. in life and before when I did movies I. just wanted to be back in the ring I was. a young 20s something year old. Invincible WWE Champion that wanted to. be in front of this audience now now I. understand that my my body can only do. that in select times but I have all.

these skills that you've given me and I. want to be able to use those skills in. the frame that I have and on movies and. in television is the best way to do the. do that and I've I really compare what's. going on in my life right now to like. 2006 people in WWE nobody thought i''d. ever be anything I almost got fired they. didn't think the rap Persona would work. one at a time jump hurdle jump hurdle. jump hurdle so I don't mind that. everyone typ casts me as like yo you you.

do this and only this I'm sure you had. some hurdles to the climb being an NFL. kicker uh swearer uh guy who has a. public intoxication arrest uh from. Indianapolis punter right kind of a doof. this is everybody's journey in life I'm. just so grateful to the skills that you. guys have allowed me to develop because. man do I have an awesome toolkit and now. maybe I can do something else or. something else I don't know okay maybe I. can be on the pat mcer panel who knows.

who know right now doing great right now. saving me pal yeah saving all of us. right now um he was talking about the. Ricky steni character I think more. specifically because in there there's a. lot of big stars. St if you're going to do a chat help me. with some promo thank you to the people. at Amazon thank you yeah let's get. another one I was going to follow up to. that hero of the week I mean phenomenal. work in there Ricky siki but like you're. acting chops you were the clear star of. said program and you know talking about.

the Hollywood world and he said uh. earlier seeing you naked on the Oscars. stage the internet immediately AB Buzz. this is an embarrassment ritual for John. Cena to have him go out there for a. costume award okay and do this has there. ever been a time where you've been. embarrassed to Showcase that that is. what your body looks like and and how. long have you looked like this and. whenever are you just the guy that if. you like the idea yes yeah I'll do it. cuz that does seem like the John Cena.

Hollywood guys is like cuz what was The. Peacemaker yeah that was some of the. most absurd of All Time season two. coming up so entertaining though it's. like you don't take yourself serious at. all it feels like in there you Dive. Right In I think that's just who you are. and I don't think people are giving you. enough credit for that type of thing so. I think uh I think I do take it. seriously but I take it seriously not. yourself not me looking cool because if. you try to look cool all the time you're. just chasing a a perfect view of.

yourself that doesn't exist man I know I. got a bald spot on the back of my head I. floss I flossed it last night at. WrestleMania hell yeah hair look me you. and like seven out of 10 dudes have them. so I don't care I'm not perfect that's. not me so I think instead of trying to. craft every situation to how can I look. the strongest or the best I look at. every sit situation but how can we make. this the best situation oh when we go. over the Oscar bit and they're like ah.

do you want to wear Spanx or spandex or. a speedo no make me as naked as possible. so Disney says it's too. naked that's how we go I was told. somebody told you that I I didn't know. you were a part that's the uh that's the. funny bit that's the that's the gag. that's why everyone's entertaining and I. think that's what leads to polarizing. opinions and that's what leads to. interest and people can have that stuff. say like oh this is this but it it is. what it is it's For Your Entertainment.

to decide what you want your cheeks on. Oscars were awesome as we are back on. ESPN for hour two John Cena still. joining us here live from the WWE. World con man's got a question for you. yeah John so making the best out of the. situation for Cody Rose now going. forward like when you get your. Championship you know obviously for Cody. in this situation he's following a guy. that is known as the goat like how does. he go forward and not try and replicate. anything of the past and do his own.

thing like was that hard for you when. you got yours to not kind of uh so sure. was and I think it was hard for Roman. too um and certainly hard for Shawn. Michaels or Stone Cold Steve Austin. or. right all all of those guys had enormous. shoes to fill and the way that they've. connected with the audience. is we we'll get some good audience.

participation. here is by reflecting on History why but. ultimately coming to the conclusion why. that they should be. themselves. yeah hell yeah hey that was the most. sophisticated usage of the whats I do. believe which is why you're John Cena um. so you just said obviously thousand days. or whatever uh until you're 50 that's. where you drew the Line in the Sand you. said you're not done we'll see you again.

you're here on Monday after WrestleMania. what is your schedule right now are we. making movies are we doing what do we. have going on right now world uh I was I. was grateful enough that uh Honda kind. of bumped a commitment I had to be able. to do WrestleMania so I'll go from here. to do something with Honda hey are they. making flying cars is that what you. alluded to the last voice they're. working on it dude I was watching that. commercial I hear John Cena's voice and. all sudden I see jets and stuff yeah is. that that's awesome they're working on. on some pretty cool stuff so I'm going. to straight to that uh I have a cool um.

keynote appearance with Samsung in Las. Vegas their theme of the convention is. time is now so they called on yours. truly to speak there I'm very grateful. for that your time is up my My Time is. Now Absolut uh I have some more branding. stuff to do before I leave for Europe to. finish a movie that we started filming. before the strike called the heads of. state with Panka Chopra and Idris Elba. and then straight from that to. Peacemaker season. 2. keep working man that'll uh that'll take. us through just about Christmas and I'm.

crossing my fingers and toes and my. heart that maybe maybe just maybe I can. take the I can tell the Hollywood world. to pump the brakes for a while and come. back to my family for one last run oh my. God I hope I don't know I hope I'm. trying I hope we'll see what happens. we'd be honored to watch that and. witness that and obviously everybody. here would be excited to see one last. run from old John Cena well every time. we see you do something we think it's. incredibly cool we're pump for you.

wrestling guy taking over the. world you got to go chase that at some. point world. champion those those shots got to be. earned man I don't know if you've looked. at my my record for the past three years. but it's not exactly Stellar I need a. slump Buster first I need I need a slump. Buster okay we'll send you Miz yeah. call ladies and. gentlemen the. goat John.

Cena thank you. [Music]. so time is up my time is now you can't. see me time is. down what a moment.

[Music]. un the of. [Music]. over he talking about all that we got. let the music play while. [Music]. out keep like of the. ja. [Music].

good spot there at the end hey you sign. this one thing can you do 10 more yeah. quick on the way out thank you John than. John. yeah t you didn't get a chance to feel. it but I felt it back there every word. he said these people were reacting to. obviously he's worked his ass off he did. it for so long so often so like heart. like he was taking. bumps and his body just got more jacked.

more ripped I appreciate the fact that. we said uh they were calling that an. embarrassment ritual he was like I told. him I should be BN John Cena is all in. on everything which is why I respect the. hell out all in on everything and uh. yeah he broke news the uh internet is. going wild about the he is not done yet. we're not. done yes uh speaking of that we got. another hour here on ESPN YouTube ESPN. plus YouTu ESPN plus third hour we have. Lane Johnson joining us because we're in.

such a great conversation with John Cena. we are not able to take a break so we do. apologize to the linear television. audience that didn't get to see 3. minutes of magic but I will also. apologize to my bladder that currently. has to piss we are 55 minutes away from. a break and we will certainly do a. fantastic job this entire time oh the. WWE world has continued to fill up here. in. Philadelphia this event is so special I. think Stephanie McMahon said 65.

different countries were represented. here at the Wrestlemania obviously. WrestleMania floridia I assume every. single city in the country is. represented people travel here and it's. a full weekend of Happiness a full. weekend of good a full weekend of. celebration of the greatest business on. Earth professional wrestling so thank. you all for hanging with us on this. Monday and tonight Raw After Mania is. legendary tonight there's probably going. to be surprises an absurd to kind. of cap off the greatest WrestleMania. weekend of all time here in the City of.

Brotherly Love Philadelphia I'm not. alone talk to table is here at B Conor. at Tai Schmidt one half of the hammer. done Cowboys tone Diggs is here Darius J. Butler and AJ Hawk are here as well boys. John. Calipari basketball coach for University. of Kentucky right yeah yeah that's right. guy from Pittsburg right guy who has a. job for the rest of his life right. correct guy that made Kentucky an. absolute blue blood and always in the. topic of conversation college basketball. he's going to be down there with the.

thorough breads forever right you think. no he's head coach Arkansas now what. what John Calipari said I'm out of here. you spelled my name wrong on the damn. newspaper the day after we lost I know. we haven't wed Natty in some time why. don't you get off my back it's a new. world and he said to himself you know. when we win it's a relief when we lose. it's devastating they're spelling my. name wrong on a newspaper that I sold. more newspapers than anybody in the. history of this town get me the hell out. of here he's now with the woo Pig sui.

group down in Arkansas congrats to him. congrats to them and now what does. Kentucky do time I don't know this this. was crazy I mean this is a massive story. and it kind of happened last night just. I mean granted we were at Mania so it's. kind of just like all right whatever. yeah Undertaker just came out exactly so. but but it I mean this is you know I I. think once they started talking about. like okay we need to get rid of Calipari. we're going to fire him he was like oh. you're going to fire me that ain't how. this works I leave now but it's weird. staying in the the SEC like he's going.

to be coaching against Kentucky I don't. know it's just it bu does Arkansas have. to buy Cal Perry. outy did you hear who bought him out did. you hear who was a major player bringing. him in who's that over there Jerry Jones. oh really yeah uhhuh what's going on. over there Jerry. comes what's going on over here Jerry. goes over to Cal I see the way you're. treating me in Kentucky that ain't no. way to be treated for a man like you no. you're whole of Fame leg you're a beast. spelling your name wrong on a newspaper.

get the hell out of here how much do I. got to pay to get you to Arkansas you're. in love Arkansa they got this. CH. peace and if you win I don't. know win a little bit over. 500 you them in the tournament they're. going to be so pumped you can come down. to Jerry World anytime you want you got. a free Suite whatever you need calar is. like hey man give me the hell out of. here now I did see some people on the. internet saying well ky's going to try.

to get Dan Hurley out of Yukon could you. imagine winning back-to-back national. championships at a place like Yukon that. has how many national titles uh 16. combined men and women last 30 years and. people are just acting like yeah not a. good job ky's a better job than Yukon. it's been wild to see the names that. everybody expects to go down to Kentucky. it's wild man you know the money behind. behind the scenes that's that's what's. going to come down to these coaches so I. would expect you I don't know what. hurly's contract situation is but he's I. expect him to get a huge raise and that. Kentucky J that's a big time vacancy for.

obviously head basketball coaches like. Kentucky would be the equivalent of Bama. of of college football so like if you do. get that opportunity you would take it. but I assume John Daly came through with. two to 300 cases of chocolate milk. probably a couple beers I don't know. what Cal Parry likes to drink but I. assume John Daly brought it to one Golf. Course Jerry flew Calipari in he said. hey this is your new best friend his. name is John Dal and you're going to. enjoy every single day in Arkansas I. love everything about Arkansas what a.

state what a time I had a blast there. they told me the Hell's Angels dressed. like me that's why they wouldn't let me. into a bar so then I was forced to buy a. foam sea foam green Jake Owen Jake Owen. Owen shirt was sweet shirt and then I. went inside me and Ryan Mallet Mallet. rest in peace had time of our life. Arkansas's good people I think Calipari. is going to love it there and now what. does Kentucky do they just ran Legend on. it down hope you're happy hope you're. happy uh speaking of happy OE baa.

congratulations OE OE in the golf world. he just wanted L open this weekend uh he. dislocated his shoulder celebrating and. he's a young buck he's thin he's. attractive he's been good for a long. time he didn't go to college he went. straight to the pros out of high school. we got a chance to chat with him. allegedly during that fist pump right. there his shoulder popped out of place. oet we need at least one you know. dumbbell raise little muscle on here. somewhere this kid legitimately has been. talked about as potentially being the.

future of golf he's a superb talent and. his story is phenomenal bet on himself. I'm going to go do this and his. personality great happy to see him get a. big win and congrats on uh qualifying. for the Masters o congratulations it's a. good story yeah he's also a big son of a. I feel like when we talk to him we. we kind of got that gauge of how tall he. is and he's got the smoothest swing of. all time oh yeah if he comes in here I. mean we talking about baa top five top. 10 maybe winning the freaking Masters. next week coming off of the biggest win.

of his career how his shoulder is his. shoulder going to be. okay skinny guys like that it happens. all the time that was on 18 I think and. then he did win in the playoffs so I. think he's going to be all right the uh. I think it was who was it Denny McCarthy. that he was going up against who was. minus 9 on the day was playing. unbelievable and then he was 90 yards. out and put one in the water like that's. just how golf was it was it was a really. good tournament yeah PJ is doing great. stuff excited for that congrats Al we. literally chatted with him when his. caddy was a girl that he just DMD and. asked if she had a free weekend they're. now married yes they are congratulations.

he's living he's doing it right happy. ending speaking of doing it right bill. bich is just hanging out in some. Washington Huskies gear uh Steve bich. former defensive assistant coach for the. New England Patriots is now defensive. coordinator for the Washington Huskies. and Bill bich is not only speaking at. their coaches Clinic he's also at. practice with the hoodie on what a. weapon for this Washington team to. continue to build the greatest times. just mosing around in some all gry sweep. yeah Jed fish the head coach he was the.

QB coach when Mack was a rookie so that. that's how um he knows them too as well. along with Steve bich being there I. assume the Washington Huskies what they. they win three four more games because. of the fact that bill bich came to their. their preseason and gave him some game. probably what do you think DB you got. drafted up there you think there's a. chance that bill bich is just going to. step away from football for a year now. that nobody's hired him as a head coach. no there's no way he can stay away from. the game I'm sure he'll be on on a zoom. call with his son probably be tapped. into the meeting rooms but yeah anytime. you can be around Bill you're going to.

hang on to every word when it comes to. football he's an absolute encyclopedia. he'll tell he'll remind you he'll let. you know he's forgotten more football. than you ever learned I just the fact. that bill is not in the NFL and he's on. he's wearing wearing a Washington Husky. sweatsuit right now thank God. unbelievable thank God too I I thought. about that I was so worried about the. idea of seeing Bill Bell check in. another team's colors uniform at another. team's facility get in just a little. taste even though it's College it's like. okay this purple this what purple if the. Vikings job was open this is what it. would look like maybe okay there's some.

gold in there all right maybe maybe if. he does go to that W looks like a. commander yes he does it cut off well. that's cuz he's trying to show respect. to the boys if he was to Showcase that. barrel chest those arms that he had out. of that ring video those college kids. probably transfer they H they'd hit the. transfer portal he knows what he's doing. with those guns he's got to do what he's. got to do shows up in a sleeveless. hoodie you know how long of a season it. is for Steve belich I mean those kids. are telling Steve every day is Steve. okay yeah he looks good Steve's okay. look St Steve Steve's going through a.

transition period right now okay it's. going to be the first time he's coaching. for a team that his dad isn't the head. coach so he's transitioning into. becoming his own coach without his. father on the staff so sure maybe there. has been another trip to the dessert. menu okay there's that's you guys are. alluding to no we're not I was talking. about him being okay without his like in. Washington. you all call we can allude to the.

internet narratives that I believe in. and so can you guys and that's okay and. I can sit here and tell you yeah he's. been a little more stressed out he's. moving from Boston to Washington would. you guys be stressed out if you were. going from one side of the country to. the other I know I'd pack on a few if I. did but with that being said saying this. stuff look I know what you guys are. talking about that's fine and I can make. the jokes about and be the brunt of the. you know if you will bad press around. what we're talking about that being said.

at the end of the day Steve Bel is more. locked in than ever I mean I expect. Washington's defense to be top five this. year if not top one think about Bill. breaking down these college offenses. right now AJ like for Steve and I've. been looking at something you need to do. this you need to do this do you think. Steve wants that I assume yes right yeah. I would imagine Steve wants that I I. want to see what the other coaches think. though like if Bill comes into their. defensive staff meeting yeah they want. Bill's insight and everything but. they're also probably as nervous as they. ever been in their life don't kill me. like you're a player you're like a. player when Bill Bell CHS out please.

don't come after me right now what is. your weekly routine let's walk through. it it's cool yeah you're just making up. stuff on the on the Fly that sounds good. I potentially had a conversation with. Bill bich on the phone really last. couple months and I should have known. that I was signing up for I thought it. was a quick hey how we doing just want. to let you know just like I've said. publicly numerous times if you're going. to do TV next year we would love to get. in on the app we would love to be a part. of that so I just wanted to call out. chitchat with him a little bit.

more that thing was an hour long oh and. I gave answers I got followup on that. one and he remembers every followup. there's not just like uh sometimes. people have a follow up for something. that you said but you already passed. that you get to the next one uhuh got to. follow up all got to follow up on that. one as well let's put a pin in that one. we're coming back maybe the most. diligent conversation I've had in 45. minutes and I just thought about. everything he's done to players over the. years and the way he looks at things and. how he talks it's like this dude's a. machine and now he's potentially working.

for the Washington huskys yes got bill. on the defensive side of the ball and I. believe Pete Carol's son is the OC so. he's on the you know not a bad little. coaching staff that got up there good. for Washington. congratulations coming up Natty also. congratulations speaking to Natty to the. South Carolina. gamec sty and the Gamecock have won uh. National Championship I got some stats. from hembo uh finest that were just like.

phenomenal to talk about South Carolina. is9 and3 in the last three seasons the. three losses are by a combined seven. points that's crazy okay now let's talk. about Iowa Iowa scored 77 points versus. South Carolina last year 75 this year. difference was South Carolina's. perimeter shooting in the game they won. 420 last year 8-9 yesterday. 370 bench scoring in South Carolina's. favor to hang 87 with a 20o scorer.

without a 20po scorer is the Exquisite. depth enroll definition says hemb okay. Will Chamberlain Oscar Robertson Jerry. West West Virginia Helia Pete marovich. Elvin Hayes Larry Bird and Tim. Duncan all have not won a National. Championship in college wow are they not. great. such a sports media thing but it is so. real because there's a lot of people. saying Caitlyn CL is only great if she.

wins a championship well she didn't. backto back finals and the way she. handled it was uh obviously incredible. the way she talked about what her team. did how proud she was and everybody what. they did for the sport she said she can. sleep at night pretty much knowing how. she did it everybody else can judge it. how it is hey Kaylin you were great. there's no questions asked there's no. and I assume if she potentially W and. played on a team that had other WNBA. players on it like some schools. potentially have we might be. experiencing a little bit different. story but she stayed in Iowa and lift.

that program up to a level that it had. never been before and also women's. college basketball to a level that it's. never been before alongside other. superstars in the NCAA Women's. tournament but yeah you're great you did. fantastic and I don't think there's any. other conversation to have about the. whole thing time no and I think one of. the things that's easy to forget is like. the amount of pressure that was on her. shoulders every single game like needing. to perform like we we look at I mean you. see how expensive the final four tickets. were everywhere she went was a sellout.

it's like she she didn't have the luxury. of like hey I I can't not only because. they don't really play play anybody off. the bench like she had to be at her best. every single night she played and for. the most part she was like I just I. don't know if we'll ever see something. like this again I mean who knows cuz she. and the the women's game in general has. kind of had this Boon right now and has. grown so much but it I don't know if. we'll ever see like a phenomenon like. this again in college Sports yeah and. every night she showed up she's. seemingly unfl flappable I mean when she. broke the record there was no hitch no.

second guess no drought no thought she's. coming to the Indiana Fever the Las. Vegas Aces congrats on a nice run Kelsey. Plum it's over now all right we're going. to take a three-minute break here and. then when we get back on the other side. the American Nightmare our WWE Champion. Cody rhods will join us we can't thank. you enough for allowing us to do this. every single day we're back from WWE. World on the other side take. three it's impossible to be at the top.

at both of those essentially like. it's another farting Dan Ori situation. just took D what do you mean it's. unbelievable I did not fart it's two. times now D this the orlovski thing you. guys being serious right now or you. messing with me listen to this clip this. is you just moments ago it's impossible. to be at the top at both of those.

essentially like it's. it's I mean undeniable you guys. definitely. you freaking idiot. swear we swear you. guys no we swear we swear no way there. no one did that. then. what did you eat I haven't even. ate if I were you right now I'd go grab.

some food one my wife texted me she said. oh my gosh mcafe show I'm dead I go bab. I promis you on everything I did not. fart who runs your Twitter account B I. do what's this all about I would like to. know in that situation where your. butthole started talking what did I do I. can't even be serious with you man what. are you chucking a glass of milk eating. some fruit over there get you some. coffee get that butthole little more I. haven't ate I'm eating yogurt I have a. thousand text messages right now people.

going oh my gosh I'm like I just wanted. to have like a quiet Tuesday I don't. even know why we're going to have. another hour maybe we run that clip just. yeah yeah on Loop we have the video. Shams let's let you judge here it's. impossible to be at the top at both of. those essentially like. it's I need to hear the context I want. to give shut up sound like what vot it's. a fart all day long Kirk you know that. has anybody voted no Dan I'll be the. captain of Team No today we need you to.

do a tiebreaking vote is that okay. sounds good to me it's impossible to be. at the top at both of those essentially. like it's there's no doubt I mean I like. how he just kept on going right there. when he was talking he didn't even break. stride as that thing came out he went. and got the buggy went to the store. grabbed some dude wipes to wipe those. ass cheeks just like I assume you do is. wable you have to go dry wet dry toilet. paper white toilet paper if not you're. really risking the rest of the day. having the swamp ass you know Dan.

orlovski man he got to accept that man. he got to wear that with a pride one. thing that really bothers me when people. do not take credit for it you know if. somebody says oh that was you that. farted I get upset when it wasn't me I'm. like no when have I ever not claimed it. when it was mine you should claim it. about all those airports people are. traveling today looking up at ESPN and. rosi farts what's wrong with this guy. the clo captioning person whoever it is. they got I believe it said an audible. muffled muffled and hey what let's.

go this show stinks and the fact that. you listen we are very very thankful. for the all-time leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers you. pink up up damn it be a friend tell a. friend something nice could change their. life sport sport sport sport sport hello. beautiful people and welcome to WWE. World on this solar eclipse of the heart.

Monday April 8th 2024 Hour 2 Starts. Now Sports are fantastic sports are. amazing we're incredibly lucky to cover. them every single day and uh today's a. special one because we're still here in. Philadelphia at WWE World cuz. WrestleMania is winding down but the. energy is still palpable because of what. happened last night Wrestlemania night. two there is a new king crown of the.

company he will be joining us in a. matter of moments joining me now the. talkit table at Boston Conor and at Ty. Schmidt Ty big time Mark have been for a. long time these WrestleMania weekends. are glorious yeah I mean it's it's. there's no if you love the WWE and. you've never been to like a WrestleMania. weekend there is truly nothing like it. and to think back like last night like. an actual watershed moment in this. company history for us to be there like. it's something you you'll truly remember. forever if you're a fan and you've never.

been to one you got to do whatever it. takes to get to one and we would also. like to say thank you so much for uh the. hospitality AB. absolutely SPN folks that set this whole. thing up we appreciate the hell out. you've been able to create some magical. moments here some news breaking. conversations that have taken place and. the union here in Philly for setting all. the s hey shout out to the union shout. out shout out. from Pittsburgh I get the unions I. understand everything one half of the. hammer Cowboys T digs is here tone that.

national championship game tonight who. we liking how we liking it i it'd be. insane to bet against Yukon like it. would be INS What 11 in a row they've. covered in the tournament they and it's. not even been close like you basically. put your feet up in the second half and. just chill and count your money like. you'd be insane to bet against Ukon is. my is my thoughts S and A Half Point. favorites in a national championship is. obviously absurd I assume pain and Ed. are going to use that as motivation on. the produce side it has felt a little. bit different for the boiler makers this.

season but they're running into Kling. Kong and that's just a matter of fact. Kling Kong takes on Ed in a 920 tip for. the national championship Yukon wants to. rain and repeat speaking of Yukon Yukon. Legend Darius J. Butler hey when we had Dan Hurley on it. felt like he had the boys ready to go. The Moxy the Swagger the confidence they. had to battle against a plane being. broken before getting out to Phoenix. Arizona what are your thoughts on where. the boys are and are you worried about. Zack Edy and his Purdue team that has.

been lightened up this year you know. what sometimes you need a little extra. adversity like you said mentioned uh 11. tournament games in a row where you. covered won by double digits obviously. it was some adversity getting out of. Connecticut getting all the way to. Country to Phoenix uh so I'm sure he'll. he's been stacking those chips up on his. team uh on his team shoulders so I'm I'm. excited about this one man just. obviously worried about that that. looming job out there in Connecticut so. get a win rain repeat yeah Kentucky I'm. sorry R repeat and then get read up okay. so let's talk about this who else on the.

team other than Kling Kong do we need to. be paying attention to or needs to have. a big game for them to workn Newton our. point guard our guard he just won a big. time award he is an absolute playmaker. shots we haven't been hot in Hurley. mentioned it um we had it on the program. have it been Hot from behind the. three-point line so maybe it's tonight. we kind of get that LD off the basket. but it always starts with defense and. they defend as a unit they're deep in. the front Court in the back court bottle. up Edy and then uh you know take care of. the rest of the other guys con man do. you think this with a lot of blood. rushing to Zach Ed's mid area yeah I'm. assuming we're going to get a I Got a.

Boner clip from Zach e immediately after. the game it feels like this is their. moment like to what you said like it. really does feel different for Purdue I. for one want them to win just because. Indiana and the city are better when. their teams are doing well but someone. Deb but didn't men that c Spencer dude. Who's Got The Moxy I think he's number. 12 for Yukon guard I worry about him he. gets soaking wet behind three the thing. about is you know the sports world needs. somebody every once in a while to come. around and knock off the champion right.

you know Yukon said they want to reain. and repeat mhm and Purdue. said not against us there was a man that. was walking into this. WrestleMania and he was being tasked. with potentially trying to do the same. thing that Purdue is going to be trying. to do tonight knock off the dominant. Champion change the entire story change. the narrative and then ride off into the. night with something that your family.

has never really. had ladies and gentlemen joining us now. your. WWE. Champion the American. Nightmare Cody. r.

a. TR in my soul every out of control do it. all to get them all the. be crowd is here about to blow waiting. for me to stop the show out the C light. go off. home. W my.

it got it pop something up behind it oh. I got it hey you did a fantastic job. this entire weekend obviously we thank. you for making the time to join us today. after joining us on Friday you're the. new champ how do you feel how do you. feel I appreciate you saying I did a. fantastic job I'm going to go ahead and. give everybody their flowers here you. sir on commentary both kns did a. fantastic job Pat did. yeah Cory Graves did Fatam Marty Lee.

fitting that whole team uh the wonderful. production crew the voice of WWE Michael. Cole absolutely just you can name so. many people we have just a really really. incredible team Samantha on the mic last. night. Samantha crushed it all weekend one of. the biggest differences in WWE Now. versus the first time I was here is it's.

such a team mindset and that's a rare. fleeting thing in pro wrestling where. everybody is working for this Collective. goal so business is incredible we gave. our flowers to the crew to the talent. and all that but you guys here in. Philadelphia. damn hey last night last night it was a. little bit warmer as the WWE Universe. chance our Champions thing oh.

yeah so last night uh I kept saying it. was the biggest night of your life I. assume you felt the exact same way. you're getting another opportunity at. the. universal. WWE Undisputed championship in our. tribal Chief the most dominant reign in. the history of the. title did you feel it early in the match. did you at at what point were you like.

you know what I'm I'm beating to Hell. from Saturday night which you did get. your ass beat on Saturday night. bloodline Rose I don't even think you. could have pinned them on Saturday night. there was no way you were going to win. that with the way the rock was talking. to the ref it felt like you were kind of. Bamboozled all along bit but on Sunday. was there a moment in that match where. you're like there's a chance I'm going. to become Champion tonight was that all. day how did you feel I kid you not and. this was a big thing with folk style. amateur wrestling so much of that game. on the mat is a mental thing that match.

is almost always over before you ever go. out there and Shake Hands just there's. this element of seeing your opponent of. knowing who they've wrestled and who. you've wrestled all that I swear to you. I knew that I was winning this thing the. moment I came up that elevator the. moment I came up that. elevat I I just I don't want to say. anything vulgar or anything like that. but I am just so tired and being called. the number two all of it just it just.

wasn't going to happen we weren't going. to we weren't going to leave. Philadelphia without. taking. one one one one that feels good that. feels good. guys top guy Cody rhods here obviously. with our new title and before the boys. have their questions for you can we talk. about how emotional um like not only the.

WWE universe that has been dubbed D Cody. cry babies in which there are many but. even when. you love. [Applause]. itry wow oh man you you guys you guys. have really made Mama roads camp now you. know really she she never wanted to be. signed up for any of it and then now.

it's a whole thing and uh yeah Mama. rhods I feel she's got a score to settle. on her own with The Rock and maybe his. mom. oh John sweet lady but let's talk about. it because of Mama roads because of your. family because of how long you've been. around this industry because of there's. Mama Ro right there looking on and your. father-in-law. that's Otis my father-in-law that's my. nephew Kell Maris Brian my sister teal.

uh my first best friend there yeah. that's the crew and Brian yeah Brian. back there yeah I didn't really give. Brian his his love but that's what. weap back there the suit of this entire. thing but it wasn't just your family. that was emotional it wasn't. just. y'all guys y'all guys are going to get. funky like a.

monkey for those that don't know the. fans were just chanting Dusty the. American dream who is Cody's father who. no way is the basis well for people that. don't know Cody is the basis of this. entire hunt for this particular title. which is why I think everybody who's. ever been in the business got emotional. last night Michael Cole was crying. watching this thing we go backstage in. the gorilla everybody is crying in. Jubilation and then I hear the story.

about this Rolex that was gifted to you. was last night the perfect night was. last night a moment that you get a. chance to like take in all your hard. work did you feel. that I think you just really hit it on. the head last night and I'm My Own. biggest critic everything can always be. better no doubt but last night I felt. was the perfect match in the perfect. moment in my career and I. [Applause]. just it's like it NE it's like it never.

ended you know you the moment in the. ring with all the fans there in the. stadium then a moment with your peers. backstage not to mention I would never. ask any of the boys to stay behind for. the end of the night most guys like to. get to their bus get to their hotel room. the fact that I got to see Jay Uso I got. to see La night I got to see CM pun yeah. y you want to get. it oh my.

yes all right we're going to do one. together on three we're going to give. them a big ye one two. three Jay CM Punk Randy Orton My Mentor. in the. business and the the the man you just. you just had here the uh the quarterback. himself John Cena just just an. incredible I I I couldn't couldn't.

believe it couldn't ask for anything. better than that no doubt taker went. back to uh wherever the hell Undertaker. goes part's unknown yeah Bingo he. couldn't stick around and celebrate with. you but I may or may not have seen him. later in the evening and he was. obviously emotional as well everybody's. P for you brother you're the right guy. is what everybody says right guy. everybody believes it this doesn't. happen a lot and anything Darius has a. question for first of all first of all. congratulations once again finishing. your story and obviously starting. another one on Friday you mentioned you.

didn't necessarily love how the title. looks how much thought have you put into. the new look you're going to put on it. yeah I see Robin's still on here yeah. it's weird a couple thing I mean this. this is so fresh this came from The Ring. normally today you can hand it off to. the TV truck but for me I'm old school. if I have the belt the belt's going to. go everywhere with me love that I uh I. uh the side plates haven't been changed. yet the tribal Chiefs plates are still. on.

there but a a couple things and I think. we should probably just come right out. with it I am very this is what I got in. the ring oh yeah so there's a level of. specialness to this Equity that's been. put into it that I have a warm feeling. about so I feel differently about it. today however that said I had changed. the title previously in the. past.

InterContinental I am not in charge of. anything I am no longer an EVP I have no. stroke other than the fact that I'm the. Champion. but I just. think it would be special perhaps to see. a particular Championship one that I. grew up on and. that's they know what's. coming that is.

uh again I'm not in charge of. anything uh Triple H is in charge of. things but you guys are damn right the. wing. deagle the world's excited to see it and. and if hey guys if it if it doesn't. happen just don't get mad at me okay you. know like just you know I'll do what I. did the last time I'm going to try my. best so thank you guys hey you're the.

champ yeah got a lot more stroke than. you think you do oh yeah even more so. and even bigger whenever you were in EVP. I think you got even more stroke now pal. I think that's how that goes tone Diggs. who was once a bloodline acknowledg. that's right and then you sat on this. chair on Friday and turned him yeah he. he was a part of the American Nightmare. all weekend tone got to experience 40 8. hours as a Cody roads fan and it was the. best 48 hours that he could ever have.

yeah crazy on the wo uh T has a question. for you Cody yeah that was after you won. and that was so in that section I was. kind of uh self-appointed representative. of the Cody crybabies um but I but after. you won it was so cool to see because. everyone who was there who was rooting. for Roman during the match was kind of. just like so appreciative of what was. going on in the ring and just like no. one I don't think anyone who was rooting. for Roman during the match was upset.

that that you won that match everyone in. the crowd just was was mesmerized at how. cool it was everyone coming down the. your family going in the emotion of it. all like how does it feel that in that. moment after you won it kind of felt. like the entire stadium was like oh that. feels right that feels good well I feel. that everyone waited and truly it's. difficult in this day and age to keep. the attention and keep the faith and as. a a I guess a good guy on the program. that's the hardest thing especially 2024.

to keep their faith and I'm so blessed. and lucky that I was able to keep their. faith and to pay it off but Roman one of. the things I took and I I noticed this. Saturday night right out of the gate. Roman showed up Not Like A Champion. ready to hand off his championship he. showed up in the best shape of his. career he he showed up as the best. incarnation of the tribal Chief thank.

you Roman thank you Roman. and and every Everything yep sorry I I. don't agree with how Roman was Champion. we we go about how we operate in the. ring completely differently but still I. said this last night at the press. conference and I really mean it I'm. proud that I beat him at his best and I. hope I hope that I can be half the. champion that Roman Reigns was he was an. exceptional Champion for WWE did a lot.

of great things really do hope I can how. do you work ethic tells us that uh. things are going to be just fine as. Champion but everybody wants you to know. hey everybody's going to want top of the. mountain okay here we are now you are. the eye of the prize that's how it's. going to go I think you're ready for it. also you talk about R being in the best. shape I don't know if you've seen any. pictures of you hey you hey I got I got. I got pretty lean and mean you did I got. pretty lean and mean yeah no it. WrestleMania brings that out and and you.

know there's so many guys now on on the. roster that it's just such a different. vibe backstage you've seen it in terms. of training hydration prep uh I I got to. mention the day of WrestleMania I was so. appreciative to be announced as a. official Prime athlete oh. congratulations that it's another thing. you know John mentioned the burden that. comes with a championship but all these. responsibilities uh if I'm not ready for.

them that would be crazy I've spent my. whole life trying to get ready for him. so I think we're there I was I was. dialed in last night under 10% on the. body fat that was exciting and happy to. see when I did the check um yeah no and. and he was dialed into and I I think. that's because of because of them they. they they only WWE fans wrestling fans. the WWE Universe particularly. Philadelphia it can only be Excellence. anything less than Excellence get the.

hell out of there it's it's got you've. got to be excellent and the you guys. have brought that out of all of us so. much appreciated much appreciated. especially whenever you know this one's. getting tossed. around company got put right on your. back last night Cody it's in a good spot. Ty has a question for you yeah Cody. first and foremost congrats that was I. mean I I think we can all agree greatest. will acknowledge yeah we will yeah you. guys won You've Won like eight times we. I got it no we're acknowledging we're.

acknowledging acknowledging your no but. I asked you on Friday about you know the. whole finisher story thing and then how. today with it being opening day like the. the real world the real work starts. excuse me how difficult will it be to. kind of find the juice when you've just. come off the most you know I I assume. stressful and cathartic and adrenaline. filled weekend of your life like how how. do you like now you got to go to work. again tonight and and tonight's arguably. more important than this weekend was hey. sweet off seon sweet off season hope you.

enjoyed it five hours last night I think. there there was the off season um well I. do have adrenaline in my soul so that's. a good. thing we're good.

okay if any of these if any if any of. you just regular sports fans are. watching right now I I hope this doesn't. bother you I hope you just see the magic. that is pro wrestling and sports. entertainment and ESP. Community es ESPN being wonderful The. Golden Boy of ESPN here just outstanding.

I answer your question I told my wife a. few months ago shout out Brandy I said. shout out to Brandy rhods for. sure I I told her I said you know if I. won the WWE Championship if I just did. it right if I won finally got this I. think i' I think I'd feel complete right. I and she's just hip to it and she.

looked at me and she goes no you'll just. want more and the truth is the moment he. hit three thinking I'm going to be. expended I'm done my soul's left my body. all this Charles Robinson slaps three on. the mat the moment that happened I felt. like just a complete bolt of lightning. in my body I I I instantly started. thinking about all the things I would. like to do do I want to make a new list. with opponents do I want to be on both.

shows do I want to change the title do I. want to add these lay I just instantly. she was right I instantly went to what's. next CU to you you know we're joking. about it but we don't have the off. season it's one of the special things. about us but I I want to make sure. coming off of Roman significant. [Applause]. run. three letters oh you come. on come.

on you know what was awkward and if he's. listening to this he'll know his. ex-girlfriend painted that picture of me. getting busted open by the rock you know. yeah the rock bought it kind yeah and. the Rock bought it and I felt bad cuz I. had ghosted like ah you know you got to. stand by your guy though you know what. I'm saying you stand by your boy mjf's. my boy shout out to mjf Good Wonderful. all right wonderful kid uh huge huge. huge future uh I forgot what I you.

remember when you threw me into the. jackpot when you and mjf were doing your. thing over there at aw you're like I. think Pat mcy wants to come to aw every. single week you remember when he did. that to me Cody so I remember not only. when I did that to you I remember uh. last night when I apologized for doing. that to. you there is a thing in the business and. it's Brian Danielson put it out there. and I didn't love it at first but I can. lean into it a little bit there's a. thing in the industry called a Cody. lie I don't love the.

term but I have been known to uh make. hyperbole of things on occasion the rule. is it can never be about anything. serious but I I do like to come on it's. it's it was awesome I just want to let. you know it's Sports entertainment you. know it's pro wrestling you know you can. when the legend becomes fact you print. the legend but yeah no that's uh I. apologize for that P it was awesome I. was jealous of a match that he had cuz. he showed superb athleticism and when I. came on here the other day thinking that.

Pat was going to be all just abrasive. with the bloodline love and the Roman. and the tribal Chief and the. acknowledgement and he wasn't he was. beautiful and generous and as you all. were but I was ready in the pocket in. the pocket I was ready to say hey well. Pat you know what if I win that title on. Sunday maybe we wrestle for that champ. was ready. oh I was ready now you have now you can. off we didn't have to do it though we. didn't have to do.

it. Noony Li right here Triple H is watching. this I'm already in trouble for trying. to change the title now I'm trying to to. book a match I have no power again let's. State again others deserve the match. obviously when the time comes I'll smack. the taste out of your mouth. boy. oh and I'm going to take that hand and. I'm going to go Shake Mama rh's hand oh. my God get out of.

here well I guess okay if you smack me. and then you you know you go over and. you shake Mama RADS I guess if I beat. you I'll just take over your. show hey ESP ESPN you're looking at the. new Golden Boy right here. huh I think I think the ESPN people will. be pumped about that you know from I've. been told champ no I'm uh I've had too. much respect for everything you've done. I've watched you whenever you were at. aew because you're must watch that's.

what you became you built yourself into. that so I've been a fan for a very very. long time I just you know Roman Reigns. put some food on a table you know for a. thunder D for a long long time but I'm. nothing but a big fan of yours pal. pumped with this and thank you for the. drinks last night Connor's got a. question for you champ yeah Cody. obviously you just said you know you win. the title and you're you're thinking. about the next thing but like today the. conversation is that was the greatest. WrestleMania match possibly just.

wrestling match of all time like when. you look at it yeah that is that is the. conversation today like when you look. back on it did you kind of notice or. pick up on the story lines that were. happening inside of obviously the. biggest storyline of the WWE of the past. 3 years like did you see kind of how. people reacted to Seth being your Shield. as a shield member where you know Roman. and his beef you know goes back all the. way 10 years and obviously you know Cena. in the Rock in the ring and The Rock in. Undertaker in the ring like all those.

things unbelievable was was that. something that you kind of thought of or. kind of could take in after the fact. before you answer this we have 20. seconds until we have a hard out on ESPN. we will continue on YouTube in ESPN plus. with the American Nightmare brand new. WWE Champion Cody Rose live here from. WWE world Raw After Mania will be worth. a watch tonight same with the Natty SE. tomorrow all right anyways hell yeah. hell yeah hell yeah all right so we're.

still. going thr break keep going that's. Michael Cole stuff anyway did you. realize in the middle of that match how. much was taking place because Seth. Rollins told you like three weeks ago. I'll be your shield in this entire thing. and then lo and. behold that son of a was your. Shield he your at the end of that whole. thing I think one of the most exciting. Parts about this moment where. individuals start showing up is. everybody brings something uniquely. different and I had not forgot in a.

negative way it just had been some time. since I had felt what it's like when. John Cena runs down to that ring it and. and the level the level of Just Energy. and and and effect and and his. commitment to hearing the people and. giving the people what they want that. was something special to see The. Undertaker The Undertaker who the only.

real thread with me in the Undertaker is. simply that I'm up against one of his. opponents but when I saw the. Undertaker that to me it just felt like. here's the old Sheriff here's the guard. here's the judge here was 40 Years of. WrestleMania and and and I was really. impressed and and blown blown away and. touched that the Undertaker being part. of that and I I won't Undertaker indeed. yeah.

Undertaker. Undertaker. Undertaker. Undertaker you got to you got to wonder. how does it feel when you have the. Undertaker when you have the final boss. The Rock um when you. have when. you. when you have these luminary figures and. the last thing you're seeing is.

myself Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. that is a testament to what I have been. saying before even aew I love the. Attitude Era with all my heart I love. the Golden Age of the 1980s but we are. in the best ERA. ever three Crossroads got the job done. against Roman Reigns and we have a new.

DK shout out DK DK you're doing.

Saturday night you make your Luchador. debut in save today for Rey Mysterio how. are you feeling how's the weekend been. yeah so I mean the week leading into it. they don't tell you much they just told. us um you know the day of be there a few. hours before so we got to rehearse found. out what was going down and then earlier. in the week uh Kel was was filming he.

was wanting to go to Monster Factory so. go where you know training and so get. that and so we did that for a little bit. earlier in the week learned some moves. learned some stuff and then uh yeah got. the chance to go out and and man it was. it was awesome it was fantastic now. people were saying it was pretty obvious. it was you two the whole time I think. you guys were in good discussion I think. people were saying look at the Milky. luchadors who are these guys look at all. that meat who are these guys they're the. biggest luchadors of all time who the. hell are these guys we knew immediately. those are world champions underneath. those luch door mask where's that mask.

live now that you had on your head. during that moment uh it's at the house. um so yeah they handed that um you know. at the rehearsal and rehearsal yeah I. mean you really me that was no rehearsal. what are you talking about in your. mind yeah but I mean we couldn't uh you. couldn't see much out of it and uh they. snuck us there right before the match. when the lights went down and so yeah we. kept it on the whole time so it was uh. as you see I couldn't even tell he took. his mask off and then then I well Jason. Kel is obviously living his best life as.

are you alongside Ray and the rest of. the lwo congrats on hey you should see. that Dismount it was close yeah very. close it was it was close close to what. busting his ass oh yeah well he jumped. over he did exact yeah he went over to. top of the Rope he felt very good you. guys crushed it just like you do. everything let's talk about what life. looks like without Jason CH next year. with the Philadelphia Eagles obviously. you and him are very close there's a. picture in one of the hallways of the. Philadelphia of the link and it's Jason.

Kelce running out of the tunnel and then. literally right Johnson right there you. two are like a tag team obviously and. have been for one of the greatest. offensive lines in the NFL for the last. 5 six years what's it going to be like. without him and have you thought about. life without him around every single day. he was my tag team jumped the snout uh. jumped a snap count partner for 11 years. exactly so now hey this going to be an. interesting year I got to get a new. Cadence you know there going to be a lot. of eyes you know last year I thought I. was going to get 58 penalties I got.

about about eight so uh so yeah that's. what I'm really worried about um but. yeah having him retire Fletch I mean. really it's Jake Rick Lavado and and. Brandon Graham that's left for the Super. Bowl team so uh yeah but excited uh. excited about some of the new additions. excited about the draft coming up so um. you know hopefully this will this will. be a big season for us is Big Dom I saw. him with a boot on I think I saw him. with a boot on I think I think he just. had foot surgery I'm not sure if it was. Liz Frank but uh it looked pretty bad. Big B we're happy to see you back peace.

need he needs to be backover big Dom. needs to be back AJ's got a question for. you lane lane how's coach serani doing. we're big fans of Coach here on this. program and we we heard the whole. situation when big Dom gets taken off. the sidelines all this stuff how much he. actually helps the coach what's it going. to be like this year and how do you. think the offseason's going to start up. with you guys and like what does he. bring to the table coach serani other. coaches might not. uh I just think he's a great. communicator um you know from top to. bottom so throughout the struggles even. in the late part of the year we were. very vocal with each other obviously.

couldn't get a good plan together to fix. it but at the same time you knew where. you stood um and then yeah I mean big. big Dom has a big responsibility every. year we have a pretty good track record. with u you know guys not having too much. trouble in the off season so Dom works a. lot and then during a season you know. there's a lot going on he's got to. protect a lot of people but he is like. the team's Papa Bear you have any. problem problems any of that he's there. hell yeah Legend old Papa Bear D he's so. pyano it's ridiculous yeah the glasses. the hack everywhere everywhere he goes.

downtown everybody's like the mar. Philadelphia what's going on you know. good for him big Dom we wish you were in. Indianapolis for sure debuts got a. question for you l first of all uh. you're a triple OG now in the league and. on your team how does the body feel and. what was your first reaction when you. found out saquan Barkley was coming up. from Vis first reaction was how in the. hell they let him go and especially to. us uh so yeah I mean the body's feeling. good no surgeries so really um you know. from that standpoint I had a had a.

pretty good healthy year y but yeah man. excited about the guys that we we. brought in the drafts not too far away. so um you know on paper we look good but. we start OTAs I think here next week two. weeks yeah of course you know sure yeah. yeah uh so yeah we have that and then. and then mandatory yeah mandatory I said. mandatory. be there and then uh yeah I mean a few. weeks later be uh ready for season okay. Ton's got a question for you Lane yeah. Lane uh CJ GJ chy Gardner Johnson back.

on on your team said something about. some things about the uh Eagles fans you. think that's going to be water on the. bridge Eagles fans will forget about. that soon as he makes play or yeah some. you know sometimes you say some bad. things to your family you know some. stuff you you like to have back so yeah. we've all been there been there earlier. in my career so um what I do like about. having him back is just how passionate. he is and you can see it he does he. brings a lot of energy to to the group. do you think you guys lost Edge last. year what do you think yeah when you. lose your last six or seven you lose. something we lost Edge what is it we. lost Edge We Lost Hair We Lost sleep we.

lost a lot uh so yeah man just it it. became where games that were usually. pretty easily manage we were just. getting blown out and it was like we had. a pretty good ship going I don't know. where the you know the directions of it. is headed but I know we battled I know. it wasn't an effort problem and U you. know sometimes later in the year you. play a lot of good teams it's bound to. happen so uh moving forward though um. it's going to be a big year I mean um. you know quick turnaround here so yeah.

man I'm excited okay Conor's got a. question for you Lan yeah with those. changes obviously you guys new OC new DC. Kell Moore comes to town fio too but. obviously Kell affects you have you had. more dialogue with him or is that. something offensive line doesn't really. work no no I haven't got to talk to him. but oh no he hates you oh no Kell Mo. hates offensive lineman like Lane. Johnson more specifically. yeah it's a it's a slow uh slow era. right now we're not really communicating. to OTA so I don't know uh but no I I. remember growing up him at Boise State.

setting all these records the man uh and. he's really had a lot of success in the. league um I know he does a lot of things. uh pre- snap lots of motions trying to. disguise so uh I think his track record. speaks for himself um her's a very vocal. guy too so yeah I'm looking forward to. see how it all Blends okay you brought. us these because you're always you. willing to protect somebody amen can't. see out of these I didn't know. these were real I thought this was all. fake a gimmick you know I thought it was. just why is everybody putting. this cardboard on their face it's a real.

deal but you protect people that's what. you do for a living at a very high level. you jump off sides everybody else says. but you're right on time I say they need. put them glasses on and watch the game. this what some of the refs do have on. whenever you're jumping off sides it. seems like it's what everybody's saying. but the guy you protect Jaylen Herz. obviously gets a massive deal everybody. starts talking about how the end of the. season is what do you expect from Jaylen. from what you know from him for this. upcoming season and how do you think. he's handled all this all this you know. a lot of change I guess yeah um well I.

know he's getting with the guys so as. you know being a part of Team you have. like your o line dline and then the. offens and defensive guys kind of. separate so I know they're working out. in Houston right now uh getting ready um. you know I think having saquan here is. going to take pressure off everybody um. having a guy that Dynamic ability in the. back field be able to take some pressure. off a lot of guys but you know as far as. Jaylen he's always he's always worked. nothing's really changed from that like. he does a good job of ignoring the noise. as best that he can so how long did you. guys not have those glasses on I was.

sitting over here I couldn't see. anything well yeah that's right 30. seconds I thought these I didn't think. that I thought you just walk outside. with normal glasses apparently that's. not true I can't see I talked about. 12 Philly scientists on the street and. they said you got to have them glasses. on or you're going to be blinded so it's. a big day solar eclipse at a heart H. yeah it's huge how do you feel about the. city of Philly obviously you're going to. have to say you love them but but. whenever Jason Kelce gave his retirement. speech he talked about like his. interaction with the city of Philly and. how the city of Philly can make you. better do you feel like that's happened. with you he told a story about Zack Herz.

where Zack her you know shot away and. rightfully so he says in the retirement. speech Philly killed him and then Zack. Herz became the monster that he is it's. almost like Philly made him do you feel. that way about Philly and you yeah no I. feel like it's a town where you really. have to earn your keep uh year to year. and I feel like just the fan base the. amount of tension that is on football it. makes players kind of play their best. ability you know you're always uh being. watched but no it's it's been fun a. learning experience I remember first. getting drafted how intimidating it was. you know um and just you know the.

notable Seasons that they had so but. yeah man this is home now I mean I love. it um and there's really no place like. it um I mean it's kind of like Texas. when it comes to just intensity but um I. mean you're forever forever loved around. here so um it's mutual yeah well you're. world champion hell yeah that helps. con's got a question for you El has this. been the greatest off season in the. history of your career and possibly. every offensive lineman because Aaron. Donald is no longer playing in the.

NFLs on a great career man yeah yeah way. to go put aard years ago is what every. offense l i mean every every NFL Club. hired a team psychiatrist but he was the. main guy bringing them. in uh is there any other guys D line. across the league that ah man they are I. mean miles uh Micah TJ Nick I mean all. those I mean just max Crosby uh I just. feel like uh the guys that we have in. the league there's a lot of well-rounded. guys and are each a little bit different.

like you know you look at Max kind of. like T um um Jared Allen a little bit. just uh he white yeah right he's white. no just B like his his amount of B for a. white dude I his work eth work ethic and. swag you know he's bringing it back. first one in light last one out probably. ride a horse if you had to yeah spear. out did you see that yeah yep exactly. exactly yeah Max could do that if he had. to AJ's got one pretty Lane what's the. like with Jaylen Herz at the hel when we. see him he seems like this handsome dude.

has everything it's all like everything. seems perfect he has he always says the. right thing he seems to be like the. Conant leader and what you guys are. doing like what's he like as a QB not. only on the field but off the field uh. Friday Night Lights you remember. Preacher Man the demon that didn't say. lot Ivory yeah Ivory Christian yeah he's. like him a little bit more vocal but. still same like we have work to be done. we're not finished yet uh but no I mean. I kind of like that I respect just uh. how he approaches dayto day he's in.

there grinding he's lifting he's strong. it's like uh hey man you got my respect. and then I just think from an old line. perspective he helps us out being able. to escape leg you know what I'm saying. it's it's what guys are looking for now. are you more jacked than you've ever. been or you feel man I lost probably 15. lbs so trying to lose the FL how cuz we. had to take a shirt off it would look. better so oh so you lost 15 lbs for. Mania yeah well thank you thank you you. got Mania that's Mania baby well I. knew I knew about for two weeks so I had.

two weeks to just kind of cut the cobs. out and lose the uh the QB jacket what. you do immediately afterwards oh it. was uh yeah I had a night last night. yeah yeah I bet you could I'm back on. track shout out to Gabe by the way shout. out to Gabe Gabe strength coach for Lane. joh he's I mean you start digging into. his history. dog yeah absolute dog now he's got he. was talking about Coachella coming up. and how y'all went one year we had no. tickets we had tickets they were left an.

hour and a half or two hours away so. what happened did you miss a concert or. did you have somebody go get them. tickets yeah somebody hopped in. helicop I went flying out to that Desert. from nothing what are we talking about I. had to sit at a local bar for like 4. hours as this helicopter goes back to. get our tickets comes all the way back. real banged up I mean we got real banged. up as we got in there but Gabe's a good. man always has been he's been your. right-and guy seemingly yeah yeah I I. hired him like in 18 I met him in like. 2013 14 so he's out in LA and so uh yeah.

man I just as I started getting banged. up I was like I didn't take I mean I. always worked out but just like being. regimented keeping you know I think Tom. Brady Comm miss a lot of guys to uh you. know hey maybe we should take it more. serious you know so shout out to him. yeah shout out to Gabe uh I believe I. don't want to out too much former Marine. sniper oh oh is that right the few the. proud yeah amen oh yeah. sniper though you know so like also. ridiculously handsome ridiculously yeah. that sh it's got about 10 uh 10 skin.

care products sometimes I'll steal them. yeah little Pap I think he's on but he. can also go if you need to like all he. can you know need that yeah he's an. absolute he's a work dog too yeah all. right lane uh you're technically will. consider it undefeated to WrestleMania. yep what's next are we getting on a. title run are we going to try to look. for United States Championship next what. future with wrestling you think yeah my. eyes are definitely going to be on it uh. maybe from a distance but uh you know. when the time's right hey I'll be. lurking so hey we appreciate you so much. stopping by you were great on Saturday.

you're great now you're great on Sundays. Mondays Thursdays Wednesdays Saturdays. in America Canada Mexico England Germany. everywhere Brazil to open the season. this year Brazil hey this is the first. time I got to see AJ since like my. rookie I remember pulling uh I don't. know as a power and I teed off and he. just flatback me so you ever get a. chance look at that clip no I remember I. know I was coming off a t block I stood.

up high and AJ just I don't know it's. out there but if you get a chance to. look it up hey I remember clip have you. seen this clip on the internet since. then no okay so we're probably not going. to be able to find it if this was easily. findable on the internet we had we'll. get it we'll find it I'll go to the. archives and get it what'd he do he put. his uh helmet to helmet H you before. your shoulders got turned hopefully was. the ride L sticker he made an imprint on. my jersey so I had and then what you do. afterwards he laugh gotcha no we were. going so damn fast with chip but we. probably another three more seconds we.

all dead exactly yeah how was that. you've kind of evolved through I mean. you've been through a lot of different. football here yeah I I think the cool. thing about it is just seeing all these. players obviously in different eras like. I got to see you know the ogs when I. came in and now just you know the faces. of the NFL changing so I think just. being a part of all that and then uh. yeah now um being an older guy you just. kind of be more wary of you know how you. present yourself in the building you. have a lot of young guys looking so got. to be zined up though looks yeah you got. to be zened up you got to be focused and.

you got to have you know what I'm saying. you got you got to be dialed in so uh. you got to be off sides you got be all. sides and and you got to be consistent. with it so did you watch some of those. and think to yourself that's probably. I'm going I know this guy's getting fine. cuz yeah there was definitely want a. couple of them in the playoff game that. was like what are you doing throw that. on. me you're only making you're only making. it worse for me ladies and gentlemen. world champion tackle for the. Philadelphia Eagles Legend John. [Applause].

welding welders. [Music]. glasses you can use these you can use. these they're wellers glasses absolutely. look fantastic yeah because if you're. getting with the tig or the me or. whatever you're doing there going to be. fire is that why we can't look up at it. directly right because it's basically. the power of the entire Sun into our. eyballs what is the significance of and. this is a once in atime what do we have. going on here today Jim why do we need. to respect this more than any other. Eclipse that we see well you just get to.

study some more of the sun and the fact. that you have so much sunspot activity. means that scientists can go up there. and they can look at that Corona which. we've seen already at Mazon all right if. You' seen it come in to the United. States now we're looking at Russellville. Kansas getting ready to go into. Russellville Arkansas getting ready to. go into totality then it's Carbondale. then we'll get up here IND you guys got. to put you know get outside and check. this thing out but look at the speedway. look at this place yeah 50,000 strong. okay I like.

Eclipse wow that's. kville okay so they're in totality okay. Jim Indianapolis is the spot we've been. hearing about it for like the last two. weeks as Indianapolis.

natives is it just because of like it's. going to perfectly line up in India or. why is Indy the. epicenter yeah well it's one of the P. it's one of the syes in the path of. totality okay look at that man you just. watched B beads diamond ring and boom. now you're into totality wow that is. awesome. and of course from that you can see the. corona around the Sun and that's what. the scientists are trying to study but. you know basically from where we're led. up our Weather Channel teams from.

ficksburg to Dallas to Little Rock to. carandale to you know Russellville. Arkansas as we talked about which is. where it is now up to Indie Buffalo. Cleveland uh whole Maine which should. have the best viewing simply because of. the fact guys that they're going to have. the blue sky after that big snowstorm. they had the other day so we've got a. little high cloud in through here but. we're still going to see a whole like. block this is just awesome you you talk. about a p up baby hell yeah hell yeah. Jim we're pumped up about solar eclipse. as well why is U why is NASA launching.

why is NASA launching Rockets up in the. sky while this is taking place. Jim they want to see what's happening. with the atmosphere when you block out. the sun we just don't get to do that. that often right and so that's what. they're doing and I mean look at this. Corona look at this thing they learning. a lot here we got astrophysicist with us. say went three times fast I see Dr Paul. cter and he's saying Jim we just don't. get a chance to look at the corona like. this especially when you have a total. solar eclipse with a lot of sunspot.

activity and that's what we've got so. far amazing it looks like the sun has a. WWE entrance right it does you know it. kind of putting a little little curtain. in front of it all as it makes its big. debut on the other side Jim enjoy the. hell out of Indianapolis we appreciate. your big brain hey is the world going to. end Jim is the world going to end no the. world's not going to end just stay. through in the Weather Channel we're. following this thing all the way to main. all right world's not ending that's good. news ladies and gentlemen.

Jim I mean you could see why back in the. day people would look up at the sky and. think the world is ending though looking. at that sun I always thinking about like. the first time this happened Bingo how. about the first time like a thunderstorm. happened in the mid boom how about in. the midwest where the sun leaves for 5. months they' to be like oh we're dead. we're dead the sun's never coming back. this is how this is going to go excited. for today obviously the solar eclipse. which is making its way across the. country now look up in the sky it's a.

bird it's a plane no it's the Moon and. the Sun at the same damn time what a day.
