[Music]. life hello beautiful people and Welcome. to our humble abode the Thunderdome on. this Super Bowl kickoff Monday February. 3rd 2025 this program starts. now football it is wonderful and.

obviously we're celebrating the biggest. game of the year happening on Sunday. down in New Orleans between the Chiefs. and the Eagles we'll be at Radio row. down at the convention center in. beautiful New Orleans Louisiana starting. on Wednesday all the way through Friday. and then obviously we all watch the. massive game on Sunday as we find out. whether or not this particular Dynasty. that the Chiefs are in the middle of is. the greatest of all time and can they. win three straight for the first time in. the modern Super Bowl era and on the. other side two Super Bowl visits in the. first four seasons is Nick serani as.

their head coach two in the last three. years Jaylen Herz has Championship. pedigree will he be able to win on the. biggest stage alongside a running back. that is completely turned back the hands. of time with football a powerful. offensive line a defense that's greedy. we have the Chiefs and the Eagles in. Louisiana on Sunday obviously that'll be. chatted about throughout the entirety of. the week and obviously we'll chat about. it today but the weekend was full of. surprises we were lucky to be a small. part of some of it on Saturday night Jay.

Uso won the Royal Rumble yeah punching. his ticket to the main event of. WrestleMania a man who's been grinding. and working his ass off night in night. out for the WWE for the better part of. the last two decades once a Hall of Fame. tag team partner alongside his brother. with the Usos now as a singles. competitor who has every Arena on their. feet yeting alongside of them eliminates. John Cena and sends himself to the main. event of WrestleMania myself Wade and a. guy who's joined joining us now on stage.

here at Thunderdome a man who's been in. the WWE for 28 years has only missed two. shows over that span of time ladies and. gentlemen Michael Cole's every thanks. for having me Cole massive surprise big. time win so incredibly excited for Jay. Uso in all the hard work that he's put. in everything that he has done for the. company every meet and greet every. handshake every bump every match. everything that he has done all paid off. for this big moment for him to be in the. main event of WrestleMania and we were.

so incredibly proud I almost got. emotional and started crying for him on. Saturday night Michael Cole yeah it was. an incredible night and the thing about. Jay is he's such a great guy and like. you said he's worked his butt off for so. many years to get to this point but Jay. created himself I mean he made this. happen he came up with that ye. catchphrase a year or so ago and it just. took off and then of course the dancing. and all of that uh has brought him to. this point but I think the entertainment. factor is great but Jay is a hell of a. worker in the ring and um he really. deserves this moment and I thought the.

surprise was great yeah I thought so too. everybody was surprised uh everybody. thought that maybe he was going to be. Cena because it was his final Royal. Rumble he would address that immediately. afterwards and say hey we'll see at the. elimination chamber in Toronto in four. weeks which is the final opportunity to. punch a ticket to the main event of. WrestleMania where Jay Uso will be. that'll be happening in Toronto we shall. see can is doing a lot of chatting right. now uh so is America we'll see how that. whole thing works out excited to get up. to beautiful Toronto up to the six for.

elimination chamber where John Cena will. be and many others I believe there's. qualifying matches uh happening over the. next few weeks to see who will get into. the elimination chamber if you win that. you also go to the main event of. WrestleMania so there's a lot in store. you know every time I come back into the. WWE I feel honored I feel lucky I feel. so damn thankful that they asked me to. come back but all the wrestling fans the. dieh hard wrestling fans always attack. me you know they say look at this. part-timer part-timer part-timer okay. come after me and I understand it I'm.

like Hey listen I'm a wrestling fan so I. completely understand where you're. coming from I used to feel this way as a. child as well whenever I was watching. along I'm very lucky that I get to be a. part of WWE so anytime I'm asking and I. had do bet on red 18 shout out to pton. Manning with that sign there but anytime. I get asked to come back I love it and I. try to sell every single night how much. I appreciate being there for the fans. but the fans a lot of the Die Hard. wrestling fans attack me for it you know. also some of the employees of WWE attack. me for it and that's kind of the way it. is so I get attacked for not being.

around enough Jay Uso is there every. single night of his life literally just. grinding away for the company and those. same people that are attacking me are. attacking effect Jay Uso on sometimes. never going to be able to make anybody. happy but I will say this 70,000 plus. record-breaking Royal Rumble all yeting. in unison to celebrate this man don't. believe everything you read on the. internet I think this guy most over guy. on the roster what a time for him and. Michael Cole yeting off beat is just uh. maybe a highlight of everything maybe.

that's why Jay Uso won cuz he just. wanted to see Cole you know the fact. that Jay has actually embraced me and. allowed me to Yeet with him and be a. part of this is actually pretty cool for. me that's right for me too I feel like. uh and Wade Barrett even got in the ring. and did it that old Englishman shout out. to Wade I I love that man it was an. honor to work alongside of him Royal. Rumble was spectacular we'll continue to. talk about that that was a massive. surprise in the WWE then that would be. followed up just Moments Later by a. H I don't even know how to say.

this volcanic yeah sure eruption yeah of. what from the NBA when sham shirana. would put out a tweet saying that Luca. donet the man who has been the face of. the Dallas Mavericks the man who took. the Dallas Mavericks to the finals less. than a year ago the man who's been. synonymous with not only that City that. team that franchise but also the NBA as. a whole has got his fat ass if you.

listen to way d ma D Dallas Mavericks. were talking about it y shipped to Los. Angeles for Anthony Davis who once again. was the man that the Lakers were going. to build around this is the future the. team can't be operating around LeBron. James he's too old this team's got to. run through Anthony Davis Anthony Davis. very comfortable in his locker okay very. comfortable saying we need another big. guy we need a point guard or something. like that if we want to really make a. run at this thing this is what we're. going to need everybody around the. league is talking about how Anthony. Davis is the focal point focal point.

everybody talking about Dallas Luca. Don's team Luca Don team Kyrie joining. Luca and in said now both of them gone. new teams New Era new time sham shiria. comes into ESPN and he had haters behind. the scenes who didn't think he was the. guy who was supposed to be the senior. Insider and drops a big old hat suck it. 91 million views on this tweet alone at. this point that's going to be up over a. 100 million you're talking about maybe. the biggest trade okay in the history of. sports now there's taking it back old.

school to a 31-year-old Wilt I believe. who got traded in 1968 or something I. understand that there has been big. movement in the past but this one. gigantic Earth shattering volcanic like. surprise of whoa are you serious sham. Shania will join us in a matter of 33. minutes Jay Uso will join us in the next. hour in in a matter of eight minutes. Adam shefer will join us because. surprise the Pro Bowl games were just. yesterday they were good yeah not bad. they weren't bad I appreciated the.

effort out of the boys I appreciated the. football out of the boys I appreciated. the game out of the boys I appreciated. the girls flaged football high school. allar game that took place beforehand. thought it was a great day down there in. Orlando one of the participants down. there miles Garrett miles Garrett was. talking to people about what their life. is like with their teams and although. none of them are in the Super Bowl. because none of the Super Bowl. contenders were able to be in the Pro. Bowl mil car say that sounds a lot. better than what I'm going through yeah. mil scar says that's a lot better than. what I'm going through you guys are. trying to win up there you think yeah I. think so you're trying to make it the. work Super Bowl yeah yeah I want to do. that get me the hell out of here request.

a trade this morning from the Cleveland. Browns this is another woly [ __ ] moment. in sports just a few days ago down at. the Senior Bowl Andrew Barry general. manager of the Cleveland Browns said I'm. not listening to anybody trying to trade. for Miles Garrett who has two years left. on his contract of non-guaranteed money. signed a 5year $125 million deal $100. million guaranteed final two years non-g. guaranteed so is this a business move. potentially is this a hey I want a new.

contract statement maybe or is this. miles Garrett being sick and tired of. not being in the playoffs and playing. meaningful football potentially as well. we will certainly keep an KN to the. ground and ask Adam Sheffer about it in. about seven minutes now there's a lot to. talk about the talk table is here at. Boston Connor at Tai Schmidt nine-year. NFL vet big old football brain Darius J. Butler is here debuck miles Garrett. asked for a trade where do you think are. some possible Landing spots what do you. think he gets paid and why do you think. he came to this decision I mean the. first first places you look are are the.

places with the most money we know the. Patriots got a ton of money they got a. high draft picked as well so they got. some assets uh but for me I'm going to. look for it because there a guy that you. think is going to want to contend win. some championships Young quarterback out. in Washington you know they just. competed NFC Championship obviously new. ownership group they got money as well. so they can pay him uh you still dealing. with a rookie quarterback contract there. uh I think the Chargers would be another. potential Place once again right there. on the cusp of compete for a. championship and then like like I said. the Patriots you got a Young quarterback.

you got VES you think they'll be. contenders as well but it's a player. that I mean you can put him in almost. any system he he's he's an edge rusher a. typical throwback four uh four 4-3. defensive end but he's an elite player. just kind of like Luca at the top of his. game absolutely Premier pass rushers. which is a premier uh position talk. about 2020 First Team all proo 21 First. Team all proo 22 believe second Team all. proo 20 2023 Defensive Player of the. Year First Team all Pro and then another. First Team all proo this year so you.

talking about the elite of elite now. when you look at a deal you you talked. about it it's probably a potential. business move obviously this guy wants. to win as well but Nick Bosa is now the. highest paid defensive end 5year $170. million deal which is around 34 year so. you would think Miles Garrett is kind of. going to get somewhere up in near that. ballpark because the gap between Nick. Bose at the top of 34 and then 28 I. believe uh is the second guy with Josh. Hines Allen down in uh Jacksonville so. um you would expect him to get paid at.

his new destination Brown's got some. dead cap they're going to have to deal. with as well kind of this Deshawn Watson. Fallout but this is I mean this is one. of the best players ever to play the. game in one of the most important. positions so this is huge huge News 29. years old will be turning 30 in December. Washington commanders fans here and. their name even announcing a situation. like this is obviously good for them. they're they're potentially uh yeting. all over themselves about that. discussion also the patriots who have. all the cap space in the world are going. to be linked to everybody con man yeah. exactly and you got to think like you.

know who knows how free agency works out. who knows but when he go the Patriots he. wants to win a Super Bowl that's his big. message is I want to win a Super Bowl I. want to win a Super Bowl he'd be. believing in the mission of Vel I guess. more so than believing in the Cleveland. Browns mission is that what we have to. think about yeah definitely and you got. to think like Vel is just in Cleveland. so you assume that him and mil do have. some sort of kind of relationship but of. all the teams up there I would look at. Detroit you know Detroit paid a bunch of. people last year they already got you. know the pen the gof the Almond raw. those contracts done if they do have $56.

million still don't have to pay Hutch. just yet and then you look at how their. season ended where they did have to. replace a bunch of guys they did have to. go get a pass rusher if the deal because. you know You' obviously have to pay. miles Garrett too this could be a. situation where it's like wow miles. Garrett only went for a two a four and a. five because you also have to give him a. contract and Detroit feels like a team. where in his message he said hey the. plan was never to go from Cleveland to. Kan the plan was to go from Cleveland to.

the Super Bowl win a Super Bowl and then. obviously all those things come with it. Detroit would kind of be that place I. would think where he could look at it. goes from you know the he he goes from. rather the AFC to the NFC Cleveland. doesn't really have to deal with them. that often so I would look at Detroit. well and as a Packers fan like I I don't. know if they'll necessarily do it but. they had kind of been linked with this. past off season like hey if a guy like. miles Garrett or Max Crosby is available. you need to go get get one of those guys. because that's kind of the area where.

they've invested a lot of draft Capital. the last couple years getting first. round DNS and guys who haven't really. panned out necessarily they haven't. really been able to get to the. quarterback and I think back to when the. Packers traded and got Reggie White that. was kind of what propelled them to you. know win a Super Bowl and and kind of. turn around and be one of the better. teams of the late 90s this is the first. time they've had cap space since they. got rid of Rogers and I think this would. be one of those splashes where we all. hear about how they're the youngest team. in the NF well you can get one of the.

best players in the NFL right now who. can maybe come in and give some of that. game to the young kids who need to make. a huge step up you're hearing a lot of. fans I assume this morning as soon as. they learn a miles Garrett potentially. being available saying hey get them the. art team get them the art team now. there's going to be some salary cap. situations that aren't going to be able. to make it feasible the Jets are one of. them how do you feel about that Michael. Cole die hard Jets fan how do you feel. about the NFL now we could talk about. the NBA trade as well that would. probably be next hour more so NBA I. think m I'm not going to say it was a. work but could have been there's a.

chance there's a chance that you trade. two Mega Stars first time ever two. all-nba players have been traded uh for. each other and it's like every all eyes. are on the NBA now Super Bowl week and I. know trade deadline is February 6th of. Super Bowl week but that's a massive. combo miles Garrett then requests. official trade here from the Browns this. morning massive conversation Michael. Cole how do you feel about it as a Jets. fan how do you feel about it from a. Sports World Fan I don't think they're. going after Garrett at all I mean their. cap space where they got 16 million or. something like that 15 um what I was.

thinking about what about the Bears I. mean the Bears got a lot of money to. play with Ben Johnson's coming in right. I mean so I mean what about Chicago I. mean they're trying you know Johnson. said what the other day that it's going. to be Caleb's team now bringing somebody. on defense I don't know sounds good to. me the interesting thing about it is. Miles Johnson said he wants to win a. Super Bowl yeah okay so if he goes to. any of these teams that have not won a. Super Bowl he's basically just banking. on this particular team being a better. run organization than the Cleveland. Browns which is a shot you know it's. quite a shot to Cleveland Browns even.

though he said he absolutely loves uh. living in Cleveland and he is you know. grown there in his statement and. everything like that Browns fans have to. be thinking to themselves oh what the. what the hell is going on because. literally just a week ago Andrew Andrew. Barry was like we're not trading miles. Garrett he is not available now all of a. sudden miles Garrett's saying is that. right yeah I think I am available. joining us now a man who released miles. Garrett's statement and probably knows a. little bit more about the behind the. scenes senior NFL set for ESPN Michigan.

man Adam. schfer shef you look awesome as the Sun. hits your face in the weird little place. you look awesome thank you for joining. us massive morning here we thought the. trade between Luca ad and then Utah. getting sprinkled in there would be the. biggest conversation it certainly still. is but miles Garrett perennial All Pro. Defensive Player of the Year candidate. every single year wanting to be traded. with two non-guaranteed years left on. his contract just one week removed from. the general manager saying they aren't.

listening to any trade offers for him. how do we get here and is he only going. to contenders or is he going to other. buildings that have money and. potentially a better Vision than. Cleveland. Browns if he's going again because we. have a team here in the Cleveland Browns. I know we get swept up in the moment. we've got this Defensive Player of the. Year requesting a trade out of Cleveland. and this is not a surprise to the Browns. the Browns knew about his happiness I. think they've asked around they've.

prepared for it they've gotten some. opinions about how to best handle the. situation knowing that it could be. coming and I think that they are dug in. and entrenched in their stance that. they're not going to trade miles Garrett. that that's not the kind of player you. move on from you're talking about. arguably the best defensive player in. the league 29 years old that's a player. that helps you win a Super Bowl and. that's what the Browns want to try to do. so again we can continue to talk about. this and we will because it's certainly. interesting but we also have one side.

here in the Cleveland Browns that. doesn't want to trade miles Garrett and. says it won't trade miles Garrett and. the GM Andrew Barry even has told. reporters that he doesn't care if he's. offered two number ones he's not trading. miles Garrett now what we have what. changes the equation some potentially is. we've got miles Garrett now going public. with the statement and the idea that he. does want out of Cleveland he wants to. play on a team where he believes he's.

got a chance to win a Super Bowl which. obviously he doesn't feel like is the. case in Cleveland so the Browns if they. trade him there's acceleration on his. contract to the tune of about 35 or so. million dollars they're already over the. cap to trade him becomes. financially difficult and challenging. not say they can't do it but it's hard. so I think the whole situation here Pat. is honestly in my mind how dog in ises.

Garrett how miserable is he prepared to. try to make life for the Cleveland. Browns is he willing to sit no matter. what when they go to training camp if. they haven't traded him by then is he. continually going to issue statements. saying how unhappy he is and how much he. wants does he make it such that he. forces them to trade him or do they. acquest to his wishes and listen to him. when that's not what they want to do and. they've been perfectly clear about that. okay so is in your eyes if you had to.

project right now and I know we. literally just learned of Miles car. taking this thing public but these. situations have certainly happened. before uh in the NFL certainly during. your time of covering the NFL when the. season starts you think Miles Garrett. has a new deal with some guaranteed. money you think this is business-wise do. you think he's a Cleveland Brown or do. you think he's he's going to be gone. because once somebody goes public what. is that that's just putting massive. pressure on Andrew Barry to see if he's. really about it okay but you know what. Deo Samuel issued a trade request to the.

49ers two years ago he's still there. Brandon iuk issued a trade request to. the 49ers last year he's still there so. when you issue a trade request in the. NFL it's not final that you're being. traded there are still many steps to go. through and again the Browns have been. very public in the idea that they're not. moving on from Miles Garrett they're not. trading them which is why I come back to. the point is how ult is Miles Garrett.

willing to make life for them yeah is he. going to make it such that they have to. trade him if you're the Browns you go to. Miles gar now you say miles I know you. want to be out but but we want to make. you the highest paid defensive player in. football you feel any better no I don't. I still want it oh you still want it. okay we want to make you the highest. paid defensive player and we want your. input on what we should do at. quarterback now and what you think are. some guys that you think could help the. team you feel better now no okay like. what can you do to make him feel better.

usually when a player hears that he's. the highest paid something player in NFL. history I'm not telling you that that. will happen I don't know how miles feels. but sometimes that makes a player feel. better and change his mind got it. especially with two non-g guaranteed. money years left for somebody his. caliber obviously this is potentially a. business play by miles to kind of put. some public pressure on the Browns to. make it happen but let's say trade does. take place dbut has a question for you. yeah and this I know you uh mentioned.

auk and Debo but this is you know number. one pick Premier guy at a very very. elite position but so let's say it does. get to that point what would the. compensation be uh for Miles Garrett you. think and can you recall a pass rusher. of this caliber moving uh at this point. in his career Kio Mack would be the. closest comparison that would be out. there right now because when khil Mack. requested a trade uh it was not. altogether dissimilar to M Garrett there. were teams salivating at the idea of.

trading for Mack when he was playing. with the Raiders and I posted the. compensation before uh earlier this. morning let me just call it up exactly. uh to give you an idea but the trade uh. the trade comp on Cil Mack was he was. traded from Oakland to Chicago the Bears. gave up two first round picks a third. round pick and a sixth round pick for. Mack a two and a conditional five so two. ones a three a six for Mac a two and a.

five J now that went on for a while I. don't know that I don't know that the. Raiders maximize the return Mack refused. to budge Mack was 27 at the time miles. Garrett's 29 again that's the best comp. I think that's out there right now miles. Garrett is an elite player again you can. make the argument he's the best. defensive player in the league very. easily so I think that the return is.

probably along those lines but again we. have the Browns GM Andrew Berry on. record saying that he wouldn't even. consider two first round picks for Miles. Garrett which by the way would be my. stance as well if I were the GM I would. say I wouldn't consider three ones for. the guy that's what I would say now what. I would wind up taking would be a. different deal so it's just the question. of gamesmanship now again is this a. business play by Miles gy I don't think. so I think he legitimately wants to be.

in a place where he feels like he's. going to have a chance to win the Super. Bowl but again is there anything that. can get him off that that changes his. mind so last question for me and. obviously we're all learning about this. as we go so that means he's only going. to teams that are contenders is that. what we're hearing or that's what in his. Ideal World that's what he's doing okay. now again what what if what if they said. we're trading you I'm making this up to. Chicago uh is. again is Chicago a Super Bowl Contender.

right now but what if Chicago he feels. like is a I think I think the best way. of saying it he wants to go to what he. believes is a Super Bowl Contender but I. think as we talk about this I think that. would be a place that he believes gives. him more hope to win a Super Bowl. championship than the Browns do and. there are probably multiple NFL. franchises that would fall into that. category because I think if you had to. consider it 31 teams probably would be.

interested in trading for Miles Garrett. that's what cuz we went through the. salary cap and what the projected uh. amount of money is and obviously you. look at a lot of these teams and it's. like well the Patriots would obviously. benefit from having miles Garrett Rael. was in Cleveland this past year they. have the money to do it but would miles. be like yep you know what I'm going up. to New England because I believe they. could potentially be a Super Bowl. Contender then you just go down the line. there of all the people that have like. does he think the Chargers are. potentially a Super Bowl Contender even.

though they haven't really been able to. get close to the dance in some time does. he believe Harbaugh changes things. Chicago it's like does he think Ben. Johnson will be able to get them to a. Super Bowl it's like is it his projected. Contender or the actual contenders like. is he thinking about going to Baltimore. that only has 8.9 million they can't. even really seemingly afford them or the. Chiefs or going to Detroit or going to. the Packers maybe who had a chance to go. to run like what does he mean I think we. just kind of wait and see I guess Chey.

well I I I I I think first of all a few. things to keep in mind I don't think. there's any way or chance in hell that. the Browns ever would consider trading. him in a division so you could knock out. those teams and by the way they said. they're not trading him at all they're. certainly not trading him in the. division I would think that if they're. trading him they certainly wouldn't want. to trade him in conference and again. they say they want to trade them and. Miles Garrett would have the ability. because any team would have to give up a. hall and any team that trades for him.

obviously would want to have him under. contract so he would have some say there. because let's just say it was knowing. alone let's say he doesn't like that. area he doesn't believe in the team he. doesn't like the whatever it is he could. say I'm not going there you know sorry. Connor I'm not trying to pick I'm just. giving no no no we've been talking about. that all morning but it's like Minnesota. Detroit Packers all those it's what he. it's what he believes it's what he feels. it's what feels in any team that would.

give up what it would be required to. acquire him and again this is even. considering the idea that the Browns. would be willing to trade them which. they haven't been but if they were then. it would have to be to a team that is. going to give up so much and they're not. gonna give up that much without having. him under contract or him being unhappy. about being tra so he's going to have to. sign off on the trade even though he. doesn't have trade request so he's going. to basically be able to dictate it.

that's if Cleveland ever gets to the. spot where it moves off its current. stance of we're not trading him so. there's a lot of things that have to. happen before we get there just to give. you an idea of where this is that all. right well good luck to all parties yep. good luck to all parties there's a lot. of NFC teams though that are doing a. little dance think than you miles. Garrett Green Bay Packers You' give up. two ones a third and pay him yes to get. him on the squad yes Vikings probably do. the same they don't even have a. quarterback yet but if you get another.

game recer on the defensive side Lions. they lose Aiden Hutchinson still able to. win but in the end not able to get to. where they want to go why not continue. to build depth anything they want they. can have it and then with the ners I. mean the ners adding miles Garrett to. that defense after a disappointing year. and now granted chrisan mcaffry didn't. play I mean there's him and Bosa a lot. of NFC teams that would be like all. right let's go and get it hopefully. Andrew Barry is able to figure it out. let's talk about some other news that. happened around the NFL if you have time. we appreciate you making some here on. this glorious day Chip Kelly's back in.

the NFL he's getting paid 6 million to. be the offensive coordinator of Las. Vegas Raiders so the Ohio State bucke. guys lose both of their coordinators Jim. nolles goes to Penn State on a $3.1. million deal allegedly to Penn State. Ohio State was not able to match or. didn't come close Chip Kelly now going. to the Raiders on a $6 million deal. allegedly per year that's via Albert. Breer allegedly in a conversation new. ownership said like hey no stone. unturned anything you need to be able to. put a staff together you could do that.

chip and Pete to they have history and. how much did we expect Chip Kelly to. come back to the NFL before this hiring. cycle. shefy well I think he wanted to get back. to the NFL and the Raiders made a lot of. inquiries and did a lot of background. checks to see this is what they were. trying to do again I think everybody. would agree on Chip's offensive prow and. Brilliance and so they were trying to. see okay is there a reason that we. shouldn't move in that direction is. there another candidate that's more. qualified they were looking at some.

other people as well but ultimately the. recommendations on Chip's offensive mind. came back in such a way that they felt. like this was the move to make and look. they're at a disadvantage in that. division with those coaches and those. quarterbacks in the AFC West it's loaded. Pete comes in with energy and enthusiasm. and passion and a defensive expertise so. so they need they need somebody to. really run that offense and Chip Kelly.

certainly is more than capable of doing. that they identified him and this is. where the new money and The Limited. owners that the Raiders have come into. play because Mark Davis got an infusion. of money from The Limited owners that. included Tom Brady and they now can go. out and spend that money on guys like. chip Kell there's no salary cap for. coaches you're capped off on what you. can and can't spend on players. but there's no cap on coaches so if you.

want to go pay Chip Kelly $6 million a. year to bring him in to Las Vegas you. can go do that and having cash cash is a. big deal and the Raiders clearly have. some cash that they can throw around at. coaches and that they're going to be. able to use in the form of guaranteed. money and signing bonuses to upcoming. free agents so that's going to be. something I think the Raiders lean into. as they try to make up ground on the. rest of the teams in the AFC West and in.

that conference and that's no cap. brother you know especially on the. coaching staff this why we talked about. the Denver Broncos being such a. promising position for whoever's going. to go coach there because The Waltons uh. the Walmart family they they they got it. you know so they can pay the coaches. more than other places you can keep. people around Raiders getting into that. game is kind of crazy Chip Kelly going. to Vegas say Conor I mean look why not. will Howard going with him too whoa the. together you know need quarterback knows.

the offense understands Chip Kelly very. well Chip Kelly beloved by the Ohio. State players Jeremiah Smith number one. wide receiver on Earth said no with a. heartbreak with a heartbreak in there so. who knows how Ohio state looks going. forward we shall see all right let's. pivot away he he's GNA have certain. knowledge on those guys that other. people don't he's gonna have worked with. all them and we also go back to his time. in Philadelphia remember how much. everybody wanted the Eagles and Chip. Kelly to trade up to get Marcus Mariota.

who's going to be a free agent this off. season so Marcus Mariota I think maybe. that's gonna be an option but I'll tell. you where else Marcus Mariota gonna be. an option in Miami with Tua his good. friend Tua he'll be an option there so. who there could be a little bit of. interest in Marcus Mariota between the. Miami Dolphins and Chip Kelly and the. Las Vegas Raiders and that's a great. spot for Marcus cuz he's got two no tax. states oh yeah so he's going to have. some interesting choices this offseason. he should go to Vegas I think us down. there in Miami maybe I like everything.

about that um Marcus marioa certainly we. got nothing but respect for Marcus. marota appreciate everything he did we. got out to see Oregon he has an entire. hallway dedicated to him for everything. he did out there certainly that that was. like 15 years ago though I mean that was. uh that was a pretty good amount of time. what Chip Kelly and will Howard were. able to do especially during his playoff. time biggest time of the year was. nothing short of magical now uh Pete. Carroll goes to Las Vegas that was one. part of the coaching cycle there is one. job still remaining that is available in. the NFL Ty has a question for you shefy.

shefy where do we stand with the Saints. job right now obviously Mike McCarthy. pulls his name out he's going to be. looking to the next year's cycle and all. the everything's kind of leaning towards. hey this is basically going to be Kell. Moore's job has there been any movement. on that is that the expectation that. once the Super Bowl's over uh Kell Moore. will become the head coach of the Saints. or what's going on there let's spell. this out Ty right this is pretty simple. you and I have talked about this before. we did it this morning um we could stop.

the charade what's going on here is that. the New Orleans Saints wisely are going. to be doing everything by the book as. they should be because W the last time. the last time the. okay hold on hold on let me refas that. yeah the Rand says when it comes to this. coaching hire should be doing everything. by the book right got it got it got it. got it let me rephrase that okay I want.

I want to make sure we're accurate here. when it comes to this coaching the. Saints are going to do everything by the. book because the last time the Eagles. were in a Super Bowl in the H city was. Arizona the. Cardinals there was evidence found that. they tampered with the Eagles defensive. coordinator Jonathan Ganon the Eagles. owner Jeffrey Lorry not happy he pressed. the issue and dra compensation was. awarded to the Eagles on draft night so. the league sided with the Philadelphia.

Eagles Jeffrey lurry knows what it's. like the Saints have been in the. crosshairs with the NFL before not the. first time and so the head of the Saints. organization Mickey Lumis is going to do. everything in his power when it comes to. this coaching hire to follow the rules. and go by the book and not talk to Kell. Moore until after the Super Bowl could. it break down and they not reach an. agreement sure is that likely no Kell. more is going to have a chance to. probably triple his salary be get become.

a head coach one of 32 and if the saints. were making any other move whether it. was hiring the Dolphins defensive. coordinator Anthony Weaver or the Giants. offensive coordinator Mike CFA or their. own interim head coach Dar what are they. waiting for why why not go hire them. right now but they're not they're. waiting and they're waiting to talk to. Kell Moore and they're waiting to make. sure that they give the Eagles. absolutely zero evidence that they've. tampered with the guy until after the.

game but the fact that they don't have a. coach tells you everything you need to. know about where this is going of course. barring a setback he's going to be the. guy could there be a setback or there. often are setbacks Bill belich didn't. wind up becoming the head coach of the. Jets Josh McDaniels didn't wind up. becoming the head coach of the Colts. Liam con didn't wind up becoming the. coordinator of the Buccaneers. but barring his setbacks we know where.

this is tracking and we know where this. is going let's not be oblivious to it. okay congrats Kelly Mo if you end up. becoming the head coach and the Josh. Josh McDaniels Jim ERS dumping party. could have been settled with some dove. menare whole body deal you know if this. did you ever get any confirmation on. that. story what story well allegedly now. we've obviously covered this pretty. depth cuz we are Colts fans here. allegedly whenever Jim ERS want to to.

McDaniel yeah McDaniel's house there was. a massive dump that took place. potentially that was a little bit. offputting uh and that is inevitably why. Josh decided to turn the playing around. cuz at the very end was like we going to. be living with this dumper all day let's. get out of here and goes back to New. England do you know if that was the. reason. or I I can't jump on that story I don't. know what the actual truth. and by the way if you have any friends. that smell like ash shf which I assume.

you do in the journalism World let them. know that whole body do from Dove menare. can take care of it all can take care of. your pits can take care of your taint. can take care of your toes anything that. smells whole body do can get rid of your. Bo and these bottles last. forever since when do we have a sponsor. for this segment I I didn't know about. this it's not because of you brother. it's not because of you brother don't. you worry about that it's they're not. saying you smell like [ __ ] they're not. saying you smell like [ __ ] uh okay let's.

continue to move to other talking points. around the NFL speaking of [ __ ] uh. Michael Cole massive New York Jets fan. has a question for you Adam what do I. what are we doing to about quarterback. is Rogers coming back what's what's. happening New York Jets fan obviously uh. he's talking about the Jets situation. Aaron Rogers still open to anything. attached to nothing Aaron Glenn new head. coachi mui boie. you want Aaron Rogers back or you just.

want them to do whatever's good for the. team I I think we have to bring Rogers. back if he wants to come we don't have. any quarterbacks and uh you try to draft. somebody and learn under air and and. move on from there that's my thought but. I'm not sure what is yours. Chey I I think that Aaron Glenn and. Aaron Rogers have to sit down and number. one Aaron Rogers first and foremost has. to decide whether or not he wants to. play whether or not he wants to play in. New York whether or not he's committed. to going through all this again um and. if and when that's the case then Aaron. Glenn's going to have a de Aaron Glenn.

and Darren Muji have a decision to make. about what they want to do with their. franchise from a talent standpoint. there's probably not a better option out. there than Aaron roders andan the guy. still has it and he still can play the. question is what do they want to do as. they're rebuilding their organization is. that a long-term play do they feel like. there is a better fit for the. organization to grow with and those are. questions I think that both sides have. to answer with the input from one. another as they sit down and talk about.

this issue moving forward okay Chey. you'll be on top of it we will try to as. well have not talked to Aaron uh trying. to give him his space like we always do. after the season well I mean the way he. finished that season there's no way he's. walking away play well there's no way. he's just you know what yeah I'm done I. especially with how the season went and. all the [ __ ] that was talked just. doesn't feel like an Aaron rers mooved. to walk away now but once again who. knows no chance play finish the season. healthy you know play well obviously. team success wasn't there you would. think he would want to go out on better.

terms than that for sure and also for. him I mean the timing with the. quarterback situation Kind of Perfect. both coming out of the draft and in the. free agent world to your point and to. his point they really isn't like he's. already a he knows the building you get. a young guy in there can maybe learn. under B it's like uh feels like the. stars are aligning for this St and let's. not forget the Jets still have a ton of. talent I mean they were so poorly. coached last year they have a ton of. talent they do true they going to win it.

all next year no not at all never in my. lifetime I've said I'll never so what. does it matter I said I'll never I'll. never go to a Super Bowl until the Jets. are there so I guess I'm never going to. attend a Super Bowl. a come on you don't ever know that you. never know that you have no idea what's. going to happen next year there's been a. lot of teams that have been asked that. have been able to flip it around just. one different energy in a building can. change everything and Woody Johnson said. I sucked as an owner I got to I got to. own that I don't think it was those. exact words but he said maybe I haven't. been the greatest owner I need to own.

that so maybe things are turn around and. young brick Johnson another year of. experience he's going to be able to buy. scratch offs next year whenever he's. going in there who knows who knows what. he's going to do love it we'll see you. are the most pessimistic Jets fan of all. time soon as Aaron gets there does Chey. boy that's quite a statement the most. pessimistic Jets fan of all that that is. quite a distinction because there are a. lot of them out there no questions asked. I mean I'm shman there's others but as. soon as Aaron Rogers goes to the Jets he. goes why why'd he do that his career's.

over that's that was that was his first. response not like Hey we're going to win. a Super Bowl now like how I was feeling. like man the talent the energy he wins. he's going to have a parade right down. the middle of New York City I mean it's. going to be great and Cole's like why is. he doing that why is he coming to our. team why he's going to ruin everything. it's like no he's coming to help. everything he's like nope that ain't. it's going to go and then four plays in. this guy's I told you we're going to. ruin it want to ruin it uh I think Jets. fans have to feel that way the jaded.

jets are the way it is until it changes. and hopefully they'll be able to change. speaking of Change Is there more change. coming Connor has a question for you. shefy yeah shefer another bills loss in. the playoffs leads to another possible. rule change obviously we tried with the. Hawkeye technology earlier I believe in. the preseason and some a little bit last. year with the first down marking and it. took forever uh and so it didn't get. carried into this regular season but. again now the NFL is reportedly. considering using uh elect Electronics. rather for the 2025 season is there a.

new development in the technology is. there some other strategy they're going. to try to use and at what point are we. just going to use the microchip that's. already in the. football well what I would say is first. of all Roger Goodell is scheduled to. have his annual state of the union this. afternoon and I'd be very surprised if. this wasn't one of the questions that. came up during the press conference I'm. sure somebody maybe from Buffalo is. going to ask him that question about. whether or not the league has made. advancements with the chip in the.

football they've experimented with this. before I would imagine if they have the. technology they're going to move forward. in a direction where they could lean on. it they're looking for any way to. improve these kinds of things and the. Chain Gang is something that was. operating seemingly a hundred years ago. there was a chip in a football that. could give you a better reading then. that would be great but I I still think. there are issues with that that the. league is trying to get through there's. no shorefire solution even if there were. a chip in the football it doesn't ensure.

that that football would have been. properly marked whether it was or wasn't. a first down in the AFC Championship. game but the league absolutely has been. looking at this it would love for the. technology to be developed it would love. to be able to use it if it makes sense. it certainly will so and I saw a lot of. people talking about how tennis has. Hawkeye and everything they tried it the. NFL tried Hawkeye during the preseason. and it was terrible so bad it was like a. four five minute wait and then nothing. it was very bad I don't know how the.

technology doesn't exist or the NFL and. the right partner hasn't got in there. you got to remember it has to be 100%. you know this Tech has to be 100% very. rarely is technology 100% that is like a. a very big flaw of tech can operate high. but then every once in a while there'll. be a flub if we rely on this Tech which. I I'm in for believe me I've been. calling for the chain gang's head for. years now at this point cuz I'm about. tired of seeing 85-year-old whites Trot. out there with this thing and that's the. authority on whether or not somebody. gets another set of downs or not but.

it's like the tech if that thing flubs. any bit then all of a sudden the tech is. in to screw I mean there is it's. something they got to get right like and. I'm not sure they've been able to find. the right thing hopefully the right Tech. partner comes around because in 2025. with all the [ __ ] we're capable of doing. you would assume be able you'd assume. we'd be able to know where the hell of. football is on a football field that is. being tracked at all times well and even. with the tennis like John mackenro told. you like hey we tennis people don't even.

believe that the players tennis players. play players yeah rather don't believe. that that is 100% accurate so if it were. to be a situation like that where it. would flub and the Chiefs get the ball. either way then it's just all oh now. this is a yeah that's even more so this. is a systemic issue now coming from the. tech to the entire thing so I understand. why the NFL has tried to be like we're. trying but we need something that is. 100% right because if that's not right. now you're talking about an even bigger. controversy and conspiracy that starts. cooking out of it all well and I read.

that the chip in the football is in the. middle of the football too so like. that's why they can't use it because. like it's going to you know if like the. tip of the football gives him a first. down the Chip's going to read like oh. that was still a couple inches behind. what's that called uh not a rad a radius. is from the center to the outside you. would assume the radius would be similar. in every football uh so you'd be able to. do the math but nonetheless all you need. is that chip the glitch one time and all. of a sudden you have a bigger conspiracy. than ever before chef we'll see you down. in New Orleans we appreciate the hell. out of you. buddy safe travels down here guys.

appreciate it have a great Monday you're. the man hey this has been pretty good we. saw the sun move you know you saw the. sun move off your face into the sky a. little bit that's the Nola Sun the Nola. daylight hours wherever it is yeah it's. uh it's gotten cloudy here since I first. came on the show here we're supposed to. be mid 70s all week we cannot wait to. get down oh yes ladies and gentlemen. Adam shefer thank you buddy 64 today in. Indiana 31 tomorrow so we're in the. middle of that whole thing and that rat. bastard out of punks saton I'm sick of. seeing him I'm from Pennsylvania okay so.

I understand punks saton Pennsylvania. beautiful place great tradition all that. good celebration I think they party. pretty good there would like to be a. part of it I'm about tired of that. little weasel piece of trash I'm about. sick of remember in 2020 when the world. was going bad oh yeah and everybody was. living a terrible life all we needed was. that little piece of vermin to come out. and say you know what Sun's going to. come out instead went back in there pwed. on top of us it was at that moment I'm. not going to let this little piece of. [ __ ] decide whether or not I'm happier. the sun's coming I agree although I do. have a little bit more of a soft spot.

for him because I I think I saw that. this is his first ground hogs day a. father so I knew he wasn't paying. attention enough you know I mean that's. that's a big deal need him dead more. week too busy Bonin as opposed to. reading a damn Doppler I I I need punks. when was the last time he said spring. was coming never decades probably yeah. it's cuz he pops up he's a scaredy cat. we need we need a we need a little. ground rat has a little bit more Moxy. that doesn't poke poke his head out see.

all the cameras go and goes back in. there I'm sick News Boys Staten Island. Chuck didn't see a shadow he said it's. an early spring this year oh great yeah. but nobody saw Staten Island Chuck so. and we don't know uh Chuck's a bit of a. dog but if if Phil's saying winter and. Phil is clapping cheeks with all the. other groundhogs he's having kids we're. never going to get an early spring from. Phil that's the issue maybe it's cuffing. season still for Phil yeah he's just. trying to stay stay in his ground is his. hole.

multiple obviously many holes angle bit. of a go there's always an angle I guess. selfishly he is just out there spreading. it yeah studing himself out why would I. want to leave my hole or any of them I. don't want sun to come no I hope for. more winter just. me and that's what I've been saying. about this little piece of trash this. entire time this little dumpster rat. groundhog. pie just get the hell out of my life. yeah have the party have the punk Satani.

Joe and Nardo come up out of his grave. and tell us whether or not Springs. coming another Pennsylvania Legend. joining us now is a man who uh changed. Sports completely with one tweet a man. who said yeah I am the senior NBA. Insider at ESPN a man who said. wait a minute is this real and then. fired off 100 million view tweet ladies.

and gentlemen sham. Shir shami how you doing you uh. peacocking around a little bit around. those ESPN Studios you know some people. probably had a little bit of a question. why we bringing in sham Shir it should. be me I'm not helping this guy out and. all you do is fire off a tweet a little. bit after midnight change the trajectory. of the entire NBA not only this season. but forever congrats Shams we're proud. of you buddy. I I listen I I I had no idea you never.

know going to trade deadline what it's. going to be like but this obviously Pat. you saw me I was lounging at my house. you you you you posted the picture of me. with with my unmade hair and my glasses. uh you g you you you you g yeah there. you go there you go you gave the viewers. a look at at how I am when I'm not doing. anything yeah you weren't expecting this. let's talk about the story and everybody. was saying it was fake everybody saying. you were hacked you know was too big of. a story for little old sham Shir to. break it was too big of a story for this.

to actually happen in reality so I. wanted to FaceTime you because I was. still up after Royal Rumble tough to. sleep after those WWE events for me so I. FaceTime you just see if you answer you. couldn't even answer because your phone. was going off so you had to answer me on. a computer which is why that go ahead my. phone was literally Mal I swear it was. malfunctioning I I had up to 300 unread. messages I kept getting call after call. after call I swear my phone. malfunctioned because I had to start. taking Co like facetimes off my Mac I.

had to start texting off my Mac so shout. out Apple you know I guess they're. making products for for you know these. these different ways for you to get you. know access to your text message or. whatever and apple understand that when. Shams wants to break the world he needs. to be able to access the rest of the. world afterwards you should be. incredibly proud of yourself Shams. that's a big ass deal brother how'd it. come about how' it come about obviously. you said you were lounging how long had. you known this was happening I think old. buddy cins said a few weeks back he. reached out to pinka or whatever at the. Lakers and he said we kept it real tight.

we kept it real tight just to see what. was possible when did you find out about. this and uh what do you think this. messaging is from both teams about the. particular trade so Pat the formal offer. of LCA dones was made really recently. really over the last week or so and when. when Nico Harrison calls Rob pinka and. offers Luca donic in a trade obviously. that's nothing that Rob pinka is. thinking about on a day-to-day basis the. Lakers never are going to shop Anthony. Davis or try to trade Anthony Davis so.

the Mavericks are really the ones that. initiated this conversation that made. this formal offer and it's interesting. Pat this is a peak back into into my. life last week I was hearing some stuff. around the Mavericks in the Lakers that. they might be discussing a player uh in. a trade and and and that might have been. the greatest smoke screen ever like cuz. clearly it wasn't that player it was. something way bigger way more uh uh you. know seismic uh nuclear every word you.

can come up with like this is one of the. biggest trades in Pro Sports this is the. biggest trade most shocking trade in NBA. history when you think about Luca donic. Anthony Davis they're to all NBA players. Anthony Davis in all of this I think has. gotten a he's 31 he's gotten a little. bit of short end of the stick here he's. an all-nba player he's a all defensive. player he just had a 4020 game in his. last game for the Lakers like he can. play and the Mavericks clearly believe. that that him and Kyrie Irving and those.

those guys on that roster will give this. Maverick's team a better chance to win a. championship they're betting against. Luca dones they're betting against Luca. Don's ability to sustain Fitness his. body his physique and and they are going. all in on Anthony Davis clearly that's. the player that they targeted but on the. other hand this is LCA donic he's 25. years old he's the face of this. Mavericks franchise now he's going to be. the face of the Lakers franchise a. franchise that has LeBron James on this. roster and and LeBron James at the at.

the age of 40 years old is going to be. able to at the year 22 be able to Mentor. Luca dones in a lot of ways like give. him so much wisdom to be able to take it. to the to another level and that's. someone that LCA donic idolizes and has. a lot of respect for as well so listen I. I never thought there would be a day. where the Mavericks would trade Luca. donic outside of him requesting to be. traded Mark hban said in recent years he. would rather get a divorce then trade. Luca donic they were going to build a. statue for Luca donic outside the Dallas.

Mavericks arena and just quickly uh just. as quickly they have traded him and they. let him know several minutes before I. put the news out that Lakers let Anthony. Davis know before I put this news out. and off we go okay so obviously a lot. there congratulations on you getting the. scoop uh you said that Dallas is betting. against Luca's conditioning and being. able to stay in shape there's also a tie. to the general manager of the Dallas. Mavericks with ad right isn't he kind of.

like uh used to work at Nike they kind. of did the deal together this when did. this all happen because we the video of. Luca enjoying a beer after a big- Time. game and somebody from the Mavericks. taking the beer out of his hand uh. obviously recycles around the internet. when did the Mavericks say you know what. this guy's fat this guy isn't a. professional this guy isn't who we want. to build around because to your point it. felt like that was like Kyrie was going. to Lucas team and on the Lakers side. they got to build around Anthony Davis.

they can't build around LeBron was the. conversation when do these things change. and did it only change with ad and. Lakers because Luca was. available I mean it it had to have. changed it clearly Chang this season. like LCA donic you know Everyone likes. to make uh you know there's always this. commentary about his weight about his. conditioning about his game shape how. he's looking this is something year over. year gets gets gets talked about gets. dissected but at the end of day Luka. donic is a perennial MVP candidate at.

the end of the day no matter what he. looks like no matter his physique no. matter anything he's a good tubby player. he just LED he just led the the Dallas. Mavericks to the NBA finals seven months. ago but for whatever reason and I will. say this there has been levels of. friction with LCA donic and and not the. roster but the organization and even. even the medical staff the performance. staff and stuff that you know you would. think that you manage and you work.

through because of the talent that Luca. donic is because of the greatness of LCA. donic but clearly the Mavericks felt in. order to win a championship right now we. are not this is in their mind we are not. gonna be able to do it with Luka donic. the way we are going to be able to do it. with Anthony Davis that is the gamble. that they're making that's the bet that. they're making and who knows I mean if. they win a championship in the next. three years justifiable to do this trade. because the Lakers this is more for the. longer term this is for the next 10. years this is to set that their.

franchise up got it and whenever the. Mavs came and played the Pacers 77. jerseys throughout the entire Arena I. assume that is everywhere so for the. Mavericks front office to be like yeah I. I wish hell on the Mavericks that is. what I wish although I like Anthony. Davis I like Kyrie it's like Luca was. your show Pony brother and uh let's see. what life is like without it saw what. happened with the Cavs yesterday against. the Mavs now we only have a few minutes. here there's a lot happening around the. NBA especially in your world and Luca.

misses out on that super max cuz he goes. to a new team can't get 345 I think it's. like 200 and something whatever the case. that was decided by this Nico guy that. Luca can no longer make that even though. he put that entire city franchise and. NBA on his back if I'm Luka it's a big. [ __ ] them all uh party happening and. hopefully LeBron's able to get him. tightened up only a couple minutes big. deal though happening in Miami still Yes. B names on the move but Jimmy Butler not. been one of them yet what's the latest. with Jimmy Butler in Miami I feel like.

it's deja vu DB like every single day. we're talking about the same thing for. the last two months the Phoenix Suns are. fully focused on trying to get a deal. done for Jimmy Butler from everything. I'm told they are working on three four. five team trade scenarios to figure out. a pathway for Jimmy Butler they want to. put Jimmy Butler on this team with Kevin. Durant and Devin Booker and trying to. compete for a championship that is what. this trade deadline is going to be about. will there be a team out there in the. market market place that will want to. take on Bradley Beal and his $110.

million for the next two years they have. three first round picks that they're. making available in the marketplace from. my understanding so that's the team. around the league that people understand. is where Jimmy Butler wants to go that's. the place that he would commit long term. to is the Phoenix Suns not the warriors. uh no one else and so we'll see between. now on Thursday will a deal done uh get. done with Jimmy Butler and the Phoenix. Suns okay so he turned down the Warriors. allegedly the Warriors have been very. active we have about a minute here are. they going to end up making any moves uh.

somebody just reported on the internet. who knows what's real what isn't at this. point that they're maybe even looking in. Lebron this has been a story that's. happened like four or five different. times are the Warriors The Warriors are. legitimately calling about every. All-Star player you just name the. All-Star player the Warriors have. probably called it him Paul George they. probably called they have called it they. made calls on every Star and that of. course includes players like LeBron. players like Kevin Durant players like. Jimmy Butler they are making calls. they they they are dead set on trying to. find another star player Superstar.

player with Stephen Curry that is. another subplot to this trade deadline. as well okay and last question dearen. Fox like you said ends up with the San. Antonio Spurs that was very expect. massive move massive move because this. is someone with Victor wanyama we've. been talking how do we get some Talent. with Victor women Yama and the Spurs are. under pressure to get Talent around. Victor women Yama and it's not even. pressure from Victor wanyama it's. pressure just how they they're they're.

putting it on themselves just based on. how they see him playing and the. greatness that he's deing displaying on. a daily basis so Allstar Garden Deen Fox. we see the details right there going to. San Antonio he's gonna be the duo the. dynamic duo with Victor Rama for years. and years to come and Zack LaVine three. first round picks three second round. picks going to Sacramento so Sacramento. does get an allar out of this as well. you're great we appreciate you NBA. senior Insider show some damn respect. sham. Shir all right we're back on the other.

P up St up damn it be a friend tell a.

friend something nice could change their. [Applause]. [Music]. life hello beautiful people and welcome. back to our humble abod the Thunder Dum. on this Super Bowl kickoff Monday. February 3rd 20125 hour two of the. program starts right. now football. they is magical and obviously the. biggest week of the year will kick off. as we head down to radio Row in New.

Orleans at no hell yeah that's 28- year. WWE veteran and voice of the WWE Michael. Cole yeah it's not baseball uh baseball. is reporting I guess pitchers and. catchers yeah it's way too early for. that nobody cares and uh let's go Mets. maybe this baseball year is the best. year of all time but we will. never speak of that again especially on. this particular week with all the NBA.

news that's happening the NHL is. certainly awesome the WWE is on fire and. six days from now down in New Orleans we. will Crown a Super Bowl champion who. will be at the top of Lombardi Mountain. will it be the Kansas City Chiefs for. the third straight year or will it be. the Philadelphia Eagles who have been in. two of the last three Super Bowls. congrats all teams and congrats to these. players who are going to put on the. biggest a most watched event in the. history of the world. potentially I did see some people on.

Twitter say I'm still out watching the. Super Bowl I'm still not watching. because of everything that happens but I. am hearing a lot of EX players and a lot. more pents come out and say Hey you know. the script stuff and work stuff that. they're doing it's all because there's. too many trash ass refs in the league. now the refs have not been buried every. single week of this season but in a. couple of the biggest moments of the. season the refs have certainly made some. questionable calls so will that change. in the offseason Roger cadell's press. conference annual press conference is. happening today at some point where he.

has to address everything it's the first. one and the only one where it's kind of. open questions and he sits up there and. answers it all will this be the year. that changes things going forward for. the officials will this be the year. where maybe officiating gets a little. bit more help from technology will this. be the year Roger Goodell addresses a. potential bad call hurting the product. on the field and hurting the popularity. of the sport with we shall see I doubt. it the talks to tables here at Boston. Conor and at Tai Schmidt 9-year NFL vet.

Darius J Butler's here looking very cool. Deb okay so we had chefer on about the. miles Garrett request uh we shall see. how that goes two years left on his. contract non- guaranteed could be a. business move which is certainly. happened in the past but this is. defensive player of the year guy. potentially on the Move have to talk. about it had shamz on about the massive. nuclear trade that took place on. Saturday night just shortly after. midnight eastern time what did you learn. from Shams in that conversation dbut and. what did you learn from Sher today from. his conversation well Shams uh the.

Warriors are calling every you say. basically every allar you know I saw a. report they called about Kevin Durant so. that's definitely true um why I watched. actually watched a little bit of a. Warriors game a couple nights ago and. saw Steph Curry you know he looked very. very frustrated doesn't look like a team. that can compete he's still playing at a. high level so interested to see uh what. other Steve C real bummed out too. November we need a name for Shams too. when he drops this type of news you drop. a 100 million view tweet like you need. to you know W kind of took the bomb.

phrase Sha's name much better yeah sham. bomb Shams bomb is obviously much better. but wo kind of had that for a while and. we all know how WJ potentially felt. about Shams coming up in the business. you. know you know how people act but he has. obviously a lot of friends in the. business done a lot of great things for. the M NBA we thought Shams Dro maybe but. that's not powerful enough Sean slam oh. maybe that might be a good yeah the. Shams sham slam it's going to be tough. to get behind it's not big enough all of.

them are tough maybe it's just the. Shams droing shs dropping Shams I. mean I don't know if we should maybe sh. a shamon bomb maybe it is a shamon bomb. but then once again there's a bomb in. there yeah you're right so I you know it. is tough it was he's still new in the. game even though he's a senior uh new in. the National bigest NBA history ever for. sure 100 million viewed tweet in like.

three days absolutely insane and then. with Chey um he he doesn't seem. convinced that Garrett is going to leave. he he it kind of sounded like to him. coming out of that conversation at least. that he thinks adala get worked out. there in Cleveland he'll probably become. the newest highest paid defensive man. which will be a lot of money that's 35. million that's up there with the top. wide receivers with that number to jump. Bosa so that's what it kind of sound. like to me at least with shefy but maybe. that's just what he's hearing from. Andrew Barry yeah shefy sitting in the. corner of a hotel room probably one of. those [ __ ] chairs that the American uh.

hotel rooms all have remember that one. room I was in that had the two oversized. ones double I don't know if it's like a. super sized we only take 500 lb cucks in. here but whatever it I mean that was an. interesting that was where those seats. were super sized and they were sitting I. mean they were. directly it makes you wonder what the. hell is going on all these roofs you. know Hotel designers understand what's. their bread and butter gu well you walk. in one of those things it's like okay. that is the is that an office chair no.

that looks like somebody's trying to get. comfortable over there mhm and they got. the lotion literally sitting right next. to it oh yeah what the hell's going on. in this room where's this hotel every. one of them you've been in them before. yeah you've certainly been in them you a. man who's been a road War for 28 years. out there but uh shef are sitting in the. corner of a hotel basically said it's. cute out of miles that's very cute but. Andrew barar is not going to let it. happen but he looking at the numbers. it's like with how much they give to. Sean Watson right and how much money is. available for their entire roster and.

what the future looks like there are. they even going to be able to satisfy. miles garant enough whether it's. contractually whether it's what they. think the future is going to be because. if he does want to win are the Brown's. ever going to be able to for the next. three years with the dead cap and the. hit that they have with deshaan Watson. don't look like let alone all the other. [ __ ] they gave up to get Desa Watson. with picks and everything it's like I. don't know now sha Watson might get back. to form Sean Watson Mike get back. playing great football uh very doubtful. he tours Achilles twice in the last 6.

months so I don't know heght if that's. even possible uh certainly certainly not. a bright spot on a football field or I'm. not even going to get into it that's. happening too much in the NFL we need to. cut that off especially that particular. profession that is very synonymous with. professional sports and needed in this. entire thing nonetheless miles Garrett. he did sound like he's not a believer in. anything other than maybe business. getting done but can they even do that. and can they still F field a team can. they will they even be able to be. anywhere near a winning football program.

if they pay miles and they have to pay. to Shawn what they already owed him. probably not and you're sitting in the. Ravens division they've already paid. Lamar and they're still just adding. pieces to that particular team and you. assume the Pittsburgh Steelers are. always going to be a winning franchise. so that's tough the AFC North going to. be tough to kind of get over the hump in. how much does miles make their life. miserable is basically what shre was. saying go ahead con man yeah and I mean. it really does depend on what he said. like if it is for like I want to go and. Chase the Super Bowl then he wouldn't. even take the highest paid deal because.

it would completely handicap their team. even more so and they're not like uh in. granted no one's a couple players away. of course you need to build an entire. team but they are so bad at football and. they really haven't been that good. obviously the coaching hasn't really. changed sans's there another year they. have another year here where it's going. to be a new starting quarterback like if. he does want a bunch of money and this. is a business deal the entire thing is. going to be even worse if they're. pairing him more Michael Cole You're a. Jets fan uh so obviously you understand. the feeling Browns fans think like we go.

from bad to worse somehow and I was. thinking about the Jets with this so say. say the say the Browns decide that okay. we're gonna we're going to trade Garrett. right and doesn't M miles have to reach. an agreement with the new team uh before. it happens still has two years left on. his deal point is you would assume he. would have you run into a a stic. situation yes like we like last year so. that's the other concern in this whole. thing I mean Garrett may say that he. wants to go to a Super Bowl Contender. but I don't think he's leaving the. Browns with two years left no guaranteed.

money I think he needs to work out a new. deal with the new team New Deal trade. compensation I mean there's a lot that. goes into this if they were to get. traded but the Browns could get a haul. in trying to rebuild a team that they've. kind of already messed up you know a lot. of people wonder why Andrew Barry's. still there why stefansky is there I. think the ownership were the ones that. forced the Deshawn Watson move so I. think they kind of feel bad I think the. ownership's like I put I haven't even. given you guys really chance so I think. Andrew Barry's in a position now does he. start looking to the Future to rebuild. because the hall you can get for Miles.

Garrett is certainly something but I. assume ownership is like we're not. getting rid of Miles Garrett either so. there's always you know I don't want to. say politics but there is always [ __ ]. happening behind the scenes once someone. says they want out why do you want them. as a part of your organization anymore. happens in the NFL and money has a funny. way of kind of figuring out those types. of situations and those issues this is. defensive player of the year though this. is a whole different level of. conversation I personally if I was. running a team I would hopefully not be.

in a position the Brown's currently. never hopefully never you know but if a. guy doesn't want to be here I am get him. the hell out of here that is not. somebody we want in our team uh but. miles Garrett is a guy that's. like if we can have him on our team we. would certainly like to have him on our. Squad but what I was asking you about um. Browns fans got to think like we're dead. Jets fans always think we're dead but. don't forget the commanders fans thought. they were dead too just one year ago now. new ownership new coach new quarterback.

had to do a whole cycle but now all of a. sudden they're up and in there do you. think there's a chance that's coming for. the Jets obviously with new head coach. new GM do you think there's a chance of. that we've had the longest playoff. drought in all the four major sports um. it's been what 2010 what two I don't. even remember the last time we were in. the play forever so the point is yeah. Aaron Glenn I was concerned about him in. the beginning CU I thought it was a. Robert Solus situation all over again. defensive coordinator comes in firsttime. head coach has to build the team around. him but then I listened to his press.

conference and it was much different. than anything I've ever heard out of any. coach since Rex Ryan when he took over. the team he was fired up it sounds like. he's not going to take any nonsense he's. not going to take any BS um he's a. former jet player so he's invested in. this franchise I remember watching him. he was a a stud um so you know I got to. give them the benefit of the doubt the. key is they have a lot of talent like I. said earlier there is a lot of Talent on. this team and I think if they bring. Rogers back and Aaron uh wants to come. back and they get good leadership cu the.

coaching staff sucked last year it's. stunk I mean when they get rid of sa and. they brought in the other brick guy I. he's stunk so at the end of the day he. just became defense corter F oh Falcons. sorry so so at the end of the day um if. Rogers comes back we have a lot of. talent uh Aaron Glenn's got to just try. to change uh the culture in in the. clubhouse it is possible though. commanders were able to do it now gr. going to have to get new leadership. which they have done Browns fans I think. they all just understand until this. Deshawn Deal's done which is another two.

years oh yeah we just got to kind of sit. on this thing and it's just going to. suck so shout out to The Miz shout out. to the people of Cleveland we'll be in. your town tonight y can't wait to talk. about it can't wait to talk about it. maybe miles comes through WWE Monday. Night Raw speaking of Monday Night. Raw every city we go to every person in. every building puts their hands up like. this and then they say. uh every celebrity that comes comes. through the WWE no matter their stature. no matter how long they've been famous. for no matter how many fans or followers.

they have all they want to do is put. their hands up like this and say. uh this past weekend at Lucas o Stadium. there were 70,000 plus with their hands. just like this and then they would go uh. ye to this. man who punched his ticket to the main. event of Wrestle Mania by winning the. men's Royal Rumble two days ago ladies. and gentlemen future Hall of Famer as a. member of the Usos what will his singles. career look like well vastly different.

Big O congratulations once again man it. was dope uh uh seeing you in there. enjoying that with your son especially. man but uh where where did the Yeet. originate like where did that come up. was it just part of how you were talking. with somebody else and you just brought. it to to the stage and then transcended. even the business at this point where. did that.

originate man they man me my brother's. Roman always always said it like it's a. little it's just it's just slang term. like yeah like that it was with E and. and we from the West too so a bunch of. my family say it's a West Coast slang. too then it became ye with the with like. the little memes or whatever but that's. how people originally think I got it but. we we've been on it and then uh um I had. a press conference with Cody man shout. out to Cody Rose man he help me he help.

me put the ye on cuz soon as he start he. said it like two times and then the next. week I had a shirt so I was like cool. appreciate it it was I'm about to rock. with this and I I just I just then then. then this came with it now now the ye. came with this and I've never I didn't. never put two together it just it just. worked together you know Y and Pat know. Pat know there's a certain point in in. the theme music where where the you said. it on TV she's like hold up Co you're. doing it you got to wait for the beat to. drop I'm like man that's right man come. on dog come on wait okay go yeah it is. and you know it's fun watching Arenas.

filled with people with rhythm and. without it sure you know kind of catch. on but that is a moment of unity in. every single City I mean it. is you got to be there o it is so cool. it is so cool to be a part of when. you're watching a TV I couldn't fathom. but being in the middle of it it's I I. black out in the middle of it I'm having. so much fun I couldn't even imagine how. you feel Connor has a question for you. you yeah Jay one of the things you do on. a weekly basis is kind of come out from. you know the crowd which has been really.

cool you were with Travis Scott and he. was burning some sage and you guys were. walking down in the arena and those. environments are insane we were there on. Saturday and when you came out the pop. was insane and everyone was yeting all. over the place but H how are those kind. of entrances different from the ones. where you're coming from the stage is. there ever a time where you're walking. down and you're worried you know maybe. you might have to boot someone in the. face cuz they get in your way or what's. kind of the difference uh in that type. of entrance man so the so the craziest. part with The Concourse uh entrance I.

got to go up I I have time to to go up. through the Concourse but while I'm. sitting there waiting for my music to. hear they're counting me down o you got. you got you got you got one minute o you. got one minute so I'm sitting there. waiting and what I mean that's the. craziest part of that entrance is when. I'm sitting in the Concourse with the. people I'm talking about before I even. walk out like sitting there waiting to. go that is crazy man and I and uh there. was one moment where um I was shooting.

the shot shoot shooting the uh the shot. to come out through the concour O and. the people weren't in the shot so I. switched cameras around to make it look. like it was busy behind me and and and. the shot and the shot just came out. right you know I'm in there producing. too. o hey I'm like hey yo let's walk this. way and then turn this way cuz the. people's here but now when man when that. shot came out that was my first shot I. did now it's every time Mo I want them I. want them I want all the kids bro give. me all the kids man you know it's very.

fun man I got gooseb think about it. because I hope I get to do it tonight. yeah I hope so too you know and uh. Cleveland needs it yes they do Cleveland. needs to eat today you know miles. Garrett just requested a trade from the. Cleveland Browns Cleveland hasn't want. anything along yeah they need you hey. they need you tonight Jay you know I got. him I got him I got you Cleveland I got. you okay hey put the company on the back. and a city on the back tonight Ty has a. question for you Jay Jay being in the. crowd and yeting with 70 plus thousand.

strong was you know it's something I'll. remember for a long time so. congratulations o but uh just curious. like when you're in the ring for the. rumble how do you not let the emotion of. maybe like a previous rivalry or bad. blood you have with other guys get in. the way and kind of Sidetrack you from. what the ultimate goal is we saw you. know everything with Roman and Seth and. punk and it kind of ended up biting. those guys in the ass how do you put put. that stuff away and just focus on the. task at. hand man my my strategy was like if you.

pay attention to the uh Royal Rumble I. was kind of low in the corner man I was. wrapped around the bottom rope like an. anaconda like for half the time I was in. there man I was just look who whoever. came close close to me that's the next. person who I got to get uh other than. that man everybody was like in their. feelings and stuff man I'm trying to. they they they won a couple Royal. Rumbles and they won a couple. championships man so I knew what I. needed to do to to put myself in the. position position and then and then when. it was go time it was go time that's. when John Cena had to come see me cuz. yeah he did yeah he did John Cena looked.

good hey he looked good didn't he I mean. you talk he always looked good man. 48 wow hey Jay what about what uh uh you. were at the press conference the post. show what about what John said and. you've known John a long time like I. have he was I've never heard John in the. mood that he was in that night and he. basically said I've done everything for. this for 25 years it's time to put. myself first I think the best thing for. business is for me to Main Event. WrestleMania for me to win my 17th title.

to set a record and he said he's going. to go to elimination chamber and win. elimination chamber in Main Event. WrestleMania alongside you uh in Toronto. uh four weeks March 1st um you know and. I think John believes that I mean you. know to me he's the greatest of all time. and I know that you have some feelings. for John as well so what did it feel. like for you Jay to actually eliminate. that. Legend man He Man Cole man he man man. that man like raised me man raised me in.

in the business um the old schedule was. crazy Cole you know like like working. five days out the week man Friday. Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday go home. Wednesday repack Thursday back out. Friday so we start we spent a lot of. time with him and he he just taught us. the game man and then when he comes back. and he sees where me and my brother are. or how how we transcended now now all he. does is is just say say how proud he is. of us and like he loves us man and and.

here that was just me just you oo day. oneish we're all proud of you I think. anybody associated with the WWE is. incredibly proud of the work you've put. in uh you know they talk about being. over and for those that aren't in the. wrestling business being over is like. being liked being respected being. appreciated by the fans uh to say you're. over would be an understatement and I. can't wait wait to watch the people show. you some love tonight you've earned it. all brother enjoy it I'll see you in. Cleveland so will call here in a matter.

of. moments all right man I'm I'm hey man if.

Cole no man I'm I'm I'm I'm. we G teach him we got to teach him yeah. ladies and gentlemen hey tell Jas go.

ahead I was about to say no cuz cuz that. cuz that last uh handshake with quo you. did I was like oh well we gota qu. actually whispered to me and say it's. the worst thing he's ever seen worst. [ __ ] of all time I believe is the case. in the middle of the place going crazy. tell Jace we said what's up and uh. congratulations yet again man you're. going to. WrestleMania love Bo thank you guys. thank you guys you too ladies and. gentlemen J Uso. yeah it's just him Mo think about what. uh what he said uh the four members of.

the anaii family who have won the Royal. Rumble. Yokozuna The Rock Roman Reigns and now J. Uso yeah what what company well there's. an interview where Roman Reigns uh. documentary I believe it was his A&E. documentary where he talked about how if. I'm the only one that benefits from this. it's all been a mistake and how he's. tried to put over everybody that's why. it was the bloodline that was like we're. lifting this up that family their. importance to the WWE and to my life uh.

entertainment massive and now Jay Uso is. earning his own trail to the top of the. entire thing yeah I saw that clip as. well and Jimmy Uso gets like very. emotional in it and you can just tell. how much it means to obviously them just. being able to do it all together and. that's Cena thing I didn't know that's. what he said to uh Jay after that that's. really cool yeah it is uh yeah look. around this is all for you I remember. your first tour those moments where the. OG G comes in and uh I don't want to say. puts over but that is kind of what. happens and like shows respect there's.

always been moments of the past where. the rock lifts up Roman's hand in front. of everybody I think the rock did it to. Cena as well I think stone cold it's. like uh this a big moment here in the. passing of the torch in the business. yeah in the business as such Cena's had. to do it for numerous people yeah and. that's the thing about John and that's. why to me he's the greatest of all time. because the sustained longevity of of. him in the business and just coming back. and doing this for people I mean John. could have been selfish I mean he's one. of the biggest stars on the planet he. could have walked in and said I want to.

win the Royal Rumble right go to. WrestleMania he didn't do that he. understood what was important to jayus. and what's important he tried he he. tried to win yeah he tried he tried to. win he obviously try like hell he did. try like hell on oh for dear life there. the socks and shoes people are talking. about Cena love them they're okay you. thought this is best fit he's had uh I. think so I think that's just a guy who's. comfortable with his age comfortable. with his look and and he's all about. he's trying to win he's not trying to. win the popular vote yeah he is trying.

to win the popular vote though we're. trying to sell we're trying to move. these socks you know I mean you walk. around that Stadium the last time is now. I mean you couldn't find one of those. shirts yeah and it was Colts blue too. which was beautiful yeah he said didn't. he say he got inspo from you yeah I gave. a little love you know me and John have. had some incredible conversations I. appreciate respect the hell out of John. also because John uh is going to be an. Oscar winner mhm like John in a promo. said like I'm more likely to win an. Oscar which we know is going to happen. than probably whatever Bubba bu it's. like John really good actor John does.

not have to come back to the WWE like JN. has already cemented his legacy JN is. already a goat conversation Michael Cole. calls him the goat and his movie career. is only taking off it's only getting. started with how great he is and he's. willing to do anything yeah people call. him uh humiliation rituals or whatever. is what people say about John John. Cena's willing to do whatever and that. is why John Cena once again is John Cena. has never taken himself seriously but. takes his work seriously it's like the.

perfect combination of a super well the. other thing too is that John is he. understands how important the WWE fans. have been him for him for his entire. career so he wants to give back so what. he's doing is is he's doing this. year-long retirement tour and the next. stop is an elimination chamber in in. Toronto and then he goes on to. WrestleMania and this is it for him but. he's going to visit some 30s something. cities this year so the fans can see him. for one more time and I think it's. pretty cool joining us now ladies and. gentlemen as we pivot away from the WWE. uh back to some football conversation is.

a college football national champion a. Super Bowl champion a rer Cup winner. ladies and gentlemen AJ. Haw Hawker I know you were yeting over. there in Ohio alongside all of us and uh. congrats to Jay Uso let's talk about. some football miles Garrett has. requested a trade from the Cleveland. Browns how do you feel about that you. think this a business move and did you. hear schfer basically say I don't know. if the Browns are going to let him go. yeah I mean I I'm sure it's partly a. business move he but he definitely wants. out of there I feel like the whole.

complacency thing I feel like in the in. the uh his message right here that you. have popped up that that tells you a lot. he feels like yeah there's no future. here in Cleveland to there's no path to. a Super Bowl I guess anytime soon but I. don't know man I don't know if they how. do you keep him around like you he's not. going to come into the facility when. does he come back if you say now we're. good we're not trading you well he. doesn't have to for a long time you know. mandatory OTAs and mini camp until what. June or May or something like that so. there's a lot of time between now and. then but I think if you listen to.

anybody talk about this to get a trade. done there's going to have to be a lot. of stuff that gets done you know the. amount of things are going to have to. get figured out and as Cole uh iterated. to you know Hassan reic gets traded. through the Jets they just think it's. going to be okay they don't get a deal. done with him he never steps foot in the. building miles Garrett's going to need a. deal done we assume before he gets. anywhere the amount of compensation is. going to be great you go back to the KH. Mack deal whenever he was 20 7 years old. to Chicago out of the Raiders it's like. there's a lot of work that has to get. done for a deal to come to place four. miles Garrett but he certainly made a.

bird call for that and then you know him. saying he wants to win not just go to. Canton like what is a contender a. contender in his eyes is basically how. shefer talked about it well are they. going to pay top dollar for Miles. Garrett or is he going to take a. discount to go to some of these places. there's just so many questions now that. are out there inevitably the Browns. control all of it AJ yeah but I I want. to know how much power miles Garrett has. does he have power in his contract to. where he can shut a trade down if he. does not want to go to a team he doesn't. have any power like that no that's what.

shefer brought up is like this is the. Browns basically have all the power here. but miles would have to get a deal done. any place he goes to so that's the. control that he has like if somebody's. willing to offer up three ones or two. ones a second and a fourth for Miles. Garrett if they can't get a deal done. they're not going to pull the trigger. you would hope even though the Jets been. able to do it in the past unless they. already talked to miles and miles says. yes we get a deal done cuz miles could. do what Jimmy Butler just did Jimmy. Butler basically told the Warriors I'm. not going to do a long-term agreement.

with you so they didn't they pulled. their offer they said they're not going. to trade with the Miami Heat so Miles. has all they say because of that but. inevitably if the Browns don't want to. move on it's a brown say and not miles. Garrett yeah it happened with Brendan. auk over the offseason with the Newland. Patriots where the Niners and the. Patriots agreed to terms on a trade and. then the Patriots and Brendan auk. couldn't come to terms on a contract so. inevitably obviously it fell through and. then brenon iuk still got paid in San. Frank okay so let's talk a little bit. more about the football World.

specifically in Ohio you know miles. Garrett in Cleveland he says he's out. Chip Kelly heading over to the Raiders. to be the offense coordinator alongside. Pete Carrol now the Ohio State Buckeyes. have lost both of their coordinators. after winning a national championship. when you win there's enough to go around. doesn't mean it's going to be here. though could be somewhere else he's. allegedly making 6 million a year and. then offensive line coach coach for Ohio. State obviously very important piece of. it all Justin fry friend of the program. guy who was talking [ __ ] to me on the. field as they were running away with it.

against the Oregon Ducks he's set to. become the Arizona Cardinals offensive. line coach so you guys are losing pieces. over there in Columbus or uh is. everything going to be okay for the. Buckeyes AJ I know Ryan Day is on the. media circuit still is Ryan Day has he. done another interview I guess while all. these coaches are leaving and can they. not get a hold of them to negotiate new. deals or was this expected for the. Buckeyes AJ I I don't know if this was. expected I did see when Ryan Davis with. Joel clatt shortly after the news hit. about Chip Kelly he did say like we.

talked with chip it sounds like chip. wanted to come win a National. Championship and then move on to the NFL. we have the he did it yeah okay he did. it year one we do have the clip from. Joel clatt show it's just kind of. breaking as we're recording this about. chip so what did it mean for you you. know to have him with you to reach the. mountain top cuz you guys go way back. and everyone has talked about it we. talked about it for a long time you know. he was your you're a coach you guys have. known each other all the way back you. know to to when you were a youngster. what did it mean to you to do this with.

him that was great it was great and you. know we talked about it the the fact. that you know we we had a a really good. group here and you know the dream would. be to to win a National Championship and. then you know he decides whether he. wants to stay or have an opportunity to. go go to the NFL and U it's exactly what. happened and you know just to be able to. you know have a beer in a few years you. know and talk about the the year that we. had together is going to be special. because we all started together and this. is where I started with him and and we. went and did that and um what a great.

story and I know so many people back. home in New Hampshire are just excited. for him and and and for the story it's. pretty special love Joel clatt obviously. uh I think I hate Ryan Day guys on every. show but. ours even the Kelly Clarkson show I. think no offense Kelly Clarkson but. what's that that about I don't know [ __ ]. them legitimately good luck the rest of. the way it might be because of the fake. Lou Holtz uh but nothing but a fan of. the Ohio State Buckeye team he he did. mention about how that was kind of the. plan and obviously he and Chip know each. other very well Ryan will be able to R.

tool right he'll be able to rekey. through this all it will it be within. staff you think or you think he'll be. bringing from outside in AJ Hawk I mean. that's what everybody is asking in. Columbus like where do you yeah do you. promote from within who do you bring in. but also I mean chip got $6 million to. be a coordinator like are you going to. pay a college coordinator you going to. say okay we'll give you 6.1 like that's. the that's what it is now in college. football win you not only you have to. recruit your players you kind of have to. retain your coaches now it seems like. yeah and obviously whenever you have as.

prolific as a run that you had. especially offensively you know that. Chip Kelly had with this Ohio State team. they were just a buzz saw to Tennessee. to Oregon Texas maybe not as much uh. they didn't play their a game but then a. national championship against Z Dame. able to do it yet again and on the third. and 11 the play design the play setup. the execution all great topnotch so Chip. Kelly checked every box that he's ready. want again to be an offensive. coordinator in the NFL and run his. offense in the NFL I like chip I think. he's going to have success and how much.

happier do you think his this time. around in the NFL is going to be without. having to be a head coach just like he. was in Columbus he probably loved his. life only have to deal was one side of. the ball so much better and when will. Howard was on he he spoke very very. highly of him and how much just he. taught him the game and how much he saw. the game so it would be interesting if. they pair up again uh on the next level. but uh was it Brian Hartline the co. offensive coordinator uh last year is he. still he's still on staff right yeah and. his pictur is uh being tweeted by. Jeremiah Smith and others whenever.

they're asking if he's going to get. poached uh if the player going to go. anywhere else they like n we're here for. the heartline party brothers so that'd. be an easy hire from within that is. beloved everywhere I would expect just. to be the so OC and then probably nice. nice bump and pay if I if I had to. assume but defensively I mean you lose. Jim nose that's obviously a big gap to F. I know the general is still hanging. around drawing up blitzes but that' be a. big job to fill you know Penn State I. thought Dan Connor was potentially doing. a lot more with that Penn State Defense. towards the end of the year as they moov. Tom Allen up into the booth and then.

whenever nolles comes in I don't know if. Dan Conor is sticking around or not but. there'll be names that Ryan day will be. able to get and with all the weapons. you're going to have with an Ohio State. roster I assume there's people eager to. get there the only thing about Hardline. is I don't know if he's ever called. plays before Chip Kelly has okay so like. that is a massive thing it's not just. like a plug-and-play position where. you're like you know what this guy good. recruiter good position coach seemly has. it figured out will he be able to call. play we assume heartline will I'm just. saying it's not as easy just to say this. guy's going to be a good play caller cuz. you have no idea until happens and there.

might be a little bit of a i you don't. want to say regression but like will. Howard had played a shitload of football. like whoever's going to start at. quarterback for them next year you know. if it's Julian saan you know who's a. five-star Prospect or whoever it might. be like it's going to be their first. time playing meaningful football and we. know how Ohio State fans can get so if. things don't look unbelievable right way. like there's a chance that you know. you're you're dealing with all that. outside noise so we'll see happened to. Michigan last year I believe Michigan.

had uh they obviously lose Jim Harbaugh. they lose their defensive coordinator. they lost 18 players to the draft you. guys don't lose as many players to the. draft but you're losing coordinators. you're losing position coaches whenever. you're the Champs and all eyes are on on. you there's going to be people that are. wondering if they can get their hands on. some of that this is certainly the case. for the Ohio State bucke guys now let's. head over to hammer. AP Tom put out a tweet on Sunday that. was so perfect so uh right in my.

feelings and I think a lot of people are. you try to put on a strong face and you. tell yourself you're going to be okay. then that first Sunday with no football. hits like a sledgehammer to the chest. and you realize you're not as strong as. you thought you were check on your. brothers today send some texts say hey. we got the Pro bowl games today but we. don't even have two games like we had on. Championship Sunday we don't have. anything no yesterday we had the Royal. Rumble thank God but if this was an. entire weekend of no action boy it'd be.

tough we're staring that down in a few. weeks but not this week the biggest game. of the season is this Sunday AP tone. what are some Trends or betting things. we should be looking into yeah it it was. it was a tough day brother and I'm glad. everybody checked in and I appreciate. everyone for doing that um stay strong. out there everybody there is it is Super. Bowl week and there is a ton an absolute. ton of betting trends so you know what I. I decided I'm let's start with the the. big ones the easy ones before we get. into the nitty-gritty all week long and. we will start the Kansas City Chiefs are.

favored by 1 and 1/2 the total is 482. and 69% of the bets are on the Eagles at. plus one A2 now is that just because. everybody wants to see the Eagles win. most likely do they hate the Chiefs yes. but you know everyone's always against. the Chiefs but look at that right there. 7 and0 against a spread in the playoffs. when the spread is less than three which. it is why don't we all just bet on the. Chiefs we maybe won't we won't hate the. Chiefs as much as we just bet on them. and win all the time that's something to. think about um well well in years past.

you bet on them and they never cover. Bingo that was like kind of the move now. though if it's less than three they. cover you know why cuz close games the. Chiefs win that's kind of the r but. these stats seemingly all contradicting. each other they are the chiefs were in. that one and then we have the Eagles who. have led at halftime in 133 of their. last 15 games and we look back to the. last last Super Bowl when they were up. by 10 against Kansas City in the Super. Bowl two years ago the chief or the. Eagles are great first half team so is.

that something you want to look at here. I I wind into it if you take the Eagles. plus the one and a half in the first. half and then you take the Chiefs money. line that's plus 400 Pat so if you think. you know maybe the game script goes. Eagles first half Chiefs full game plus. 400 is not bad right there um talking. about you know back and forth the Chiefs. always win the Eagles here what's it. mean dogs have covered 13 of the 17 last. Super Bowls that is for the Eagles. another one for the Eagles favorites or. the team with the better record in the.

regular season is 219 and one against. the spread that is the Chiefs I don't. know what that means I don't know why. that happens but that's just the case. there the white jersey wearing team has. won 16 of the past 20 Super Bowls Kansas. City is the away team in this superow. because they rotate AFC NFC home away so. that would go for the Chiefs and lastly. um as far as the total four of the last. five Super Bowls have been lower scoring. Affairs than what the people thought. they would be but that Chiefs Eagles.

Super Bowl is the second highest scoring. Super Bowl of all time so will it be a. repeat okay thank you tone all these. numbers go different directions you can. find whatever stat to make you feel. better about how you feel if you want to. go searching for it yeah I mean that is. just the fact of the matter whenever it. comes to it one and a half point spread. they think it's going to be a close game. Chiefs never lose close gapes no they. don't that is just kind of their MO. Patrick Mahomes Andy Reid Travis Kelce. Chris Jones spags coach to and the boys.

at Kanas City always win but will this. year be different because the bully of. the Eagles might be able to change the. course of history AJ did you learn. anything from those Trends right there. pal yeah a little bit I mean I I know. we'll make a pick eventually but man. it's tough not to lean Chiefs early I. think in this one okay so a might be. giving a little something away there on. Monday we'll obviously get down to radio. row starting on Wednesday Now ladies and.

gentlemen M it is time to introduce a. man who uh changed businesses not just. one industry multiple Industries a. multiple businesses on many of occasions. he is a guy guy who is great at. everything he seemingly does his Aura. radiates through every building he is.

story you know short story you know. Jimmy Hart I've been with him 45 years. he's never had one drink never done one. drug in 45 years just vitamins huh watch. out for J watch out watch out Jimmy hit. it with the steel chair just okay all. right sweet Jimmy we appreciate that. yeah because vitamins you know take your. vitamins do the entire thing was the. conversation I know you but Hey listen I. know brother yeah but as you get older. brother you got to have a nice cold beer. every once in a while especially when. when you're old school you have a couple.

cold beers before you go to the ring. brother yeah old school and Hogan's. hangout we're definitely going to have a. couple cold beers I mean that's what you. got to do no this whole thing was uh. kind of like just happened by chance cuz. I got my partner Chad in the back we uh. this is our company it's not a celebrity. Endor company or percentage deal we. actually own the company and we were at. a uh convention. and I wasn't with the WWE for this. appearance CU I still have to deal with. them of course but I wasn't with the WWE. this this appearance I was there with. chatting we were doing other business.

and as the people come through the line. you know I like to shake hands look. people in the eye cuz everybody has like. a Hulk Hogan story like I always say if. you're 90 years old you were watching me. when you were 50 you know and so it goes. all the way back to the young kids still. know what's going on with me so as I'm. reading name tags and saying hello to. people and listening to their stories oh. I grew up watching you I bonded with my. father with you or when my dad died you. became the father figure and the stories. are crazy you know they're really cool.

stories from the fans and I read this. one guy's name tag and it said vice. president of paps Blue Ribbon beer I oh. my God that's the beer my dad drank cuz. my dad was a construction worker in. Florida and the sun basically beat him. to death he was out in the sun 124 hours. a day and by the time he was 6 years old. he looked like he was 90 but he'd always. pour the P paps Blue Ribbon beer in like. a a glass and then put salt in it you. know oh yeah and so when I saw the beer. oh man my dad drank that beer just lit. me up so the guy said well have you ever.

thought about getting in that beer space. I'm went yeah you know my whole career. 40 years it was training prayers and. vitamins the Mantra the character Hulk. Hogan made Terry the man a better man as. as the years went by and you know the. make wish kids and everything I said but. since I'm not wrestling anymore with. that being said you know I'm looking for. that wild wild West deal all the time. once every 10 years like a George. Foreman grill or something which came. and went I know please don't bring that. up you did you did I yeah yeah yeah.

brother I'll tell you a story about that. in a minute but anyway anyway make a. long story short he goes well would you. think about doing something with beer. it's very competitive I said yeah you. know I see this crazy open Lane because. Bud Light really came up with a horrible. marketing plan and they apparently. didn't understand their audience like I. thought they did and so I see this open. Lane for America's beer working. backwards you know I'm I'm thinking Mom. apple pie baseball wrestling NASCAR.

there's this crazy open Lane because of. all the other beers that are so. competitive America doesn't have their. own beer like America's team like. America's beer and that would be a light. beer and I'm on my feet pivoting you. know CU like when I do promos and. wrestling I don't read a script or. anything yeah on the way to the ring I'd. be opening the show and the writers. would hand me this these Pages you know. like 20 pages and they were hot and I. look at Vince and I go really he go I. don't worry about so I just throw the. pages up and go out there but so I'm on. pivoting man I'm on my feet I'm you know.

I'm dancing smoking mirrors trying to. figure out how to put a period on the. end of the slot you know and I'm going. you know my neighbors don't even talk. the Republicans the Democrats don't talk. but I said when I used to wrestle you. know I was traveling 300 days a year CU. there was no Rock no stone cold it was. just me for the first 25 years and I had. to be everywhere double shots Wednesday. Friday Saturday so I'd wrestle like 42. 20 times a year jeez that's why I'm so. beat up thanks for your service to the. business legitimately thanks for your. service to the business beat the [ __ ]. out of your body so I said when I used.

to wrestle you know all the guys that I. wrestled were huge you know earthquake. Andre Tugboat oneman gang they were. always all Jimmy's guys that had to. wrestle yeah Jimmy was working against. you there they were all you know 350 425. lbs King Kong Bundy says Hey Brother. come here you want to talk you know. let's talk I don't never would talk. about the match I just want want to know. who was going to to win or lose yeah. we're calling it out there brother. always call it out there you got to. listen to the crowd it's an art form so. I said brother let's sit down let's have. a beer cuz I fig if I get them to loosen.

up they wouldn't beat on me so hard so I. told this guy the Democrats don't talk. the neighbors don't talk back to my. story I even would you know have a beer. with a wrestlers so my idea is bring. America back together one beer at a time. and when I said it I'm holy smokes there. it is brilliant and the guy's eyes went. wow I love that so we were approached to. that convention cuz I was in a con. Atlanta by several other beer companies. and I told Chad I said bro this is this. is too hot right now because the way. America is percolating right now yeah.

everybody wants the country back and. this name real American Beer is a home. run it's like pointing to Centerfield. and then now you know I ran my mouth cuz. you know I was friends with Trump for 40. years yeah and I was one of those. cowards that I wouldn't wear a trump hat. or I wouldn't put a bumper sticker on my. car I'd vote for him but I'd go hide and. then when they kill him it just pissed. me off cuz this is a good guy bro I've. known him for a long time he's a good. human being it just pissed me off and I. told my new wife I said this might be a.

deal breaker but I got to speak up yeah. and then when I went to the Republican. convention and did my thing they had. like I'll talk forever and I did my. thing they had they heart out in uh 33. seconds I got you they had all these. writers that they wanted me to talk for. four minutes I had a suit on I was. nervous and and I was trying to do it. they had a podium in front of me two and. in the back and they said well Hulk you. know I was sweating nervous they said. maybe just do 2 minutes so I went out. there never said a word that was on the.

teleprompter talk for N9 and a half. minutes and they told my buddy V in the. back at 6 minutes you know we may have. to pull him off stage all right we'll. continue uh this conversation with Hulk. Hogan on YouTube ESP plus Disney plus. we'll see you tomorrow goodbye all right. we're still digital we're still online. we just went off ESPN linear they got a. chance to see the hster I could have. short the story no no don't worry about. it. but when you go when you go and do that. when you go and do the Republican. convention you know immediately you're. going to piss off what uh.

47% of the country especially with how. political hatred is currently in the. world do you think that um and first of. all uh whenever you say a beer bringing. the world together uh we talk about it a. lot how teams come together a lot more. around a keg than they do kale you know. this modern world that we're in. everybody's worried about drinking. because they want their bodies to. recover you have a couple beers or some. people though you can really learn about. each other you can kind of take take the. walls down the guard down and then. really start chitchatting I love that. that was kind of the initiative behind.

getting behind a beer is bring the world. together then as a friend of trump you. go speak for Trump then you piss off Le. about half of the country are you still. in the middle of feeling that like at. the into D I don't think any of us. expected no oh I did you expected that. because of the political stuff or. because of everything but you got to. realize last time I ran hard in La I was. a bad guy was Hollywood Hogan man I was. riding dirty with the boys you know Nash. and Hall and we were spray painting. people and crot shotting everybody and. started out with the two sweet stuff so.

last time I was there I was a heel but I. think the politics had a whole lot to do. with like you said I would say yeah I. would assume we get the politics and. also some other stuff you know yeah of. course but at the end yeah yeah yeah I. mean when you're when you're in a public. eye for 40 years yeah you do slip and. fall a couple times yeah and they're. going to see it everybody anyway at the. end of the day we kind of looked at it. the next day because you know had like. 11 billion Impressions you know and some. of the other guys some of the big stars. that were on that car that night only. had like three billion I don't name.

names but you know we so you were. like. Samo we actually ran a press conference. the day after I don't know if you got a. chance to see it from the hulkster but. we have a lot of questions for you is. that okay yeah but the one thing is I. was talking about the beer you know. we're we're we're in a relationship with. the WWE you know they're they're my. partner in this thing and I had to be a. good guy in La yes now if this was for. wrestling and they turned on me like. that I'd have turned into Hollywood Hulk. I all oh hell yeah so you hate me for.

everything I've done for all the. makeawish kids and everything I did for. your kids well guess what I did it for. the money by and by the way and by the. way since you want so much hatred coming. your way I hope you have a good time. when Camala Harris you know is your new. governor and you're all standing in the. soup line Mike drop see you but I. couldn't do that but I was ready I was. ready to go after him well I thought it. was very professional of you to remain. positive cuz I was listening to it and. you're much more mentally tough than I. am but you've been obviously 40 years in.

the wrestling business this is kind of. your gig you understand people are going. to boo you understand people are going. to cheer you understand the heartbeat of. people which is why you call it an art. form you want to do what they're they're. telling you to do living in a spotlight. for 40 years a lot of things happen with. that being said we have a lot of. questions about a lot of it and this guy. loves real American Beer I do i'. actually I sucked down a nice cold one. right now but uh just curious being a. big fan when when was the time like. where you realized like I I assume it. wasn't overnight but where it's like oh. [ __ ] I can't go anywhere anymore without.

everyone noticing me because like you. said you kind of you were the company. for the longest time what was that point. in time where it was like [ __ ] I just am. Hulk Hogan Now everywhere I go no matter. what I do well honestly it's like before. I was in uh the. wwwf the worldwide Wrestling Federation. before it became the w WF so I was there. working for Vince senior and when I came. in I was a bad guy I was green as hell. my punches kicks everything looked. horrible but I sold out sha stadium with.

Andre had a bunch of matches with with. backin I was a bad guy and I've told. everybody this they fired me when I did. the Rocky movie so I split and I had a I. was single at the time and I had a. beautiful girl in Japan which I love. hanging out with and I was up in Min. Minnesota working for ver the best place. in the world if you're a wrestler when. there were territories everywhere they. paid paid really well and you only had. to work four days a week so bang those. other three days I was in Japan and we. got this huge team together and we were. going to push towards the east coast.

that was our whole goal and at the time. um I got a card from a photographer at. the Rosemont Horizon said call Vince I. I'm not calling Vince man he fired me he. goes no Vince Jr so I called Vince Jr. and when I went there I'd already had. that Hulk Mania thing started in. Minnesota and when I went back and they. didn't play music they didn't have. merchandise and I was doing the music. thing in Minnesota selling merchandise. when I went back they weren't doing. doing any of it so the night I went to. the Garden they played IE of the tiger.

the roof blew off the place and broke. from that day forward is like riding a. lightning bolt that whole Hulk and man. took off it was crazy yeah and it was. like everywhere I went I couldn't go hey. I'm Terry I have hey what's up brother. you had to give him just a little sauce. the amount of brother how many brothers. you Dro nowadays brother brother the. problem is I can't remember anybody's. name brother you know it's it's my age. and I've been hitting the head so darn. much that that's one of the things I. went back to uh the the WWE in like 2002. or 6 Jimmy what was it they said cherot.

you had to put your hand up said why. would I put my hand up I said oh cuz you. know the concussion thing CU I never put. my hand up before eating it yeah just. lean into it bro and take the shot. whoa how many have you done the math on. how many matches you said four days I'm. doing Minnesota then the other three I'm. doing Japan Japan's like a 16 hour. flight well it depends on where you. leave from um if you leave from JFK it's. about 14 straight through and if you got. a drink with a giant all the way there. it's like a.

year cuz I used to the 747 I'd go hide. upstairs and I go hey boss my seat was. right next to rusoff which was Andre's. name last name and I'd get the early and. run upstairs and hide from him hey boss. come down I put your seat next to me I'm. oh God he's going to kill me so I just. have to drink with him all the way there. it depends on where you leave from you. know yeah but the you said 400 something. matches in one year 36 well at at the. height at the height of it you know. because I was doing two on Friday two on.

Saturday like I'd hit like like uh like. a Saturday I'd hit uh Philadelphia. Spectrum at 1:00 and as Gretzky and the. boys were coming in I'd be leaving then. I hit Madison Square Garden that night. then the next day I'd hit the Boston. Garden at 1:00 then I hit the LA Forum. that night you know so I could do like. four matches and in two days easy and. then when we did TV we shoot TV in. Allentown right Jimmy we'd shoot like. three four hours of TV I'd wrestle. probably 11 10 11 times and shooting the.

TVs jeez you know but then Vince scaled. it way back and made me special you know. and said but he had to get me over first. yeah so have you thought about the. number of bumps you know cuz the leg. drop and obviously you have a lot of. detractors from the business because you. were the guy top guy so a lot of people. wanted that spot but a lot of people. have talked about the way you worked in. the ring was the reason why you worked. in the ring the way you did potentially. because of how many matches you had and. that leg drop what is that that spine. hips everything right well the whole. thing is when I see people like um Brian.

Daniels you know or Kevin Owens or Chris. Jericho said brother keep the boots on. the ground this is all about well for me. the psychology was there were none of. these guaranteed contracts so if you got. hurt and broke your arm or broke your. ankle you didn't get paid so my whole. thing was I'm went 25 years without. getting hurt actually I did blow my knee. out if you ever watch that match with. the iron Chic I jumped up to drop the. knee on his leg and one of the boards. was off in the ring and it blew my left. knee out so I go hobbling back to the.

room after I won the title from the. sheet going my God my knee's gone and I. told my wife Linda at the time I said I. don't think I can make it so I kept that. knee wrap for like 15 years never had a. cut on but the reason I worked the way I. did was I could work with anybody you. know I could work with a big guy I could. work with Piper I could work with a. wrestler you know I I had like there was. so easy to do cuz the character was over. you know and I if if I got in the ring. with somebody if I could just look at. them you know or just look at you and I.

could hear the rumble I would know how. hard I had to work that night just as. soon as I got in the ring if it was dead. I'm going okay I'm have to grind for. about and cell and had beat my ass for. about seven or eight minutes before I. start begging the crowd to help me and. once I start coming up here we go you. know but you know it it was the. character was so over it was it made it. so I didn't have to you know do anything. too crazy. I know I know you're Hulk Hogan okay and. I know you've been a superstar like six. different times do you get pissed.

whenever you hear people run their mouth. about what you did or how you did what. you did no BR you know it's it's all. good like you have to have young guys. are great athletes okay they're all. great the business has changed so much. they do so much stuff in one match I. mean I wouldn't do that much stuff in a. year I see some of the stuff these guys. do but at the end of the day the. wrestlers you you know the size has. changed all the guys I was a 310 lb guy. I was a mediumsized guy you know and now. the wrestlers are smaller they do more.

moves they do all kind of stuff I got. nothing but respect for these guys you. know they're so dedicated but at the end. of the day you know they don't realize. what happened and how this gut to be to. where 180 lb or 200 220 lb guy could be. a main event guy there was a lot of. changes you know over the years and a. lot of that happened because we it. admitted it was Sports entertainment and. some of the stuff they don't realize is. you know flying into Kansas City never. supposed to cross that imagin line in. the Kansas City territory Harley Race.

pulling a gun at me saying I'm going to. blow your brains out I've been the Champ. here the NWA champ for 18 years here you. know stuff happened along the way that a. lot of guys don't know about you know. yeah and that's why I think there is a. very uh from a lot of guys a gratitude. for the ogs for laying the groundwork. for where we are today uh thank you for. the road warrior and also staring turn. down I guess Harley R's pistol uh to. make this whole thing Happ Harley Race. is a great guy he just really just. wanted wanted a job he wanted respect. too I think he did we brother he was a.

tough son of a gun we gave him respect. but you you and Vince there's obviously. a lot of documentaries a lot of history. I've seen it all about how the growth of. the company and from territories to. taking it over to a national to cable to. everything it's unbelievable how do you. feel about the current state 70,000 Plus. for Royal Rumble at Lucas Stadium. Netflix deal worth5 billion do being. streamed around the world how do you. feel about current is it are you jaded. at all or are you proud no I'm so proud. of these guys it's like I mean you got.

guys like Seth Rong you like CM Punk you. got Roman Reigns you got Cody rhods. Kevin I can go down the list all these. guys are stars and they carry their. weight I mean and they don't come up. short I just pray to God they don't get. hurt yeah you know because the story. lines are so intense the Usos and just. the these guys have all stepped up. because they work so hard they work. harder than I did I mean these guys are. working their butts off and I got. nothing but respecting the product is. insane I never dreamed it would get to.

this level yeah you know I was walking. out the other day in in LA and uh I was. standing on the ramp and and Stephanie. McMahon was there you know and I said oh. my gosh man things are so cool and it's. just amazing how big it's got when she. goes well you know I'm not involved. anymore I said BS you're the one that. tells him what to do Triple H and I was. just teasing with her she goes oh but. you're the one that built this thing you. started I oh thank you for saying that. but me and her dad were in the trenches. trying to get this thing going there's a.

lot of people that feel that way though. it's not just a few you know and. obviously there's a lot of fans that. have experienced a lot of things with. you over the years you know CU like I. mentioned earlier 40 years in a. spotlight there's a lot of [ __ ] yeah you. regret a lot you regret a lot of the. [ __ ] yeah yeah well you got to ride the. highs and survive the lows the first. thing I regret is being so stupid in the. ring at the time I mean I'm 72 years old. now but at the time my arms were. legitimately 23 24 in so if you've got. 24in Arms Why are you doing the leg drop.

oh so you're piss you even that and ruin. your spine why don't you do the. sleeper no bump you take the guy down. all the way up you can poke you out run. you into the Buckle back you into the. Buckle throw you the top rope there's a. million outs you know but why why are. the leg drop stupid I'm smart yeah yeah. you're professional wrest back I yeah. the leg drop is Iconic and uh I want to. let you know whenever I had a a match. with the Miz uh at WrestleMania yeah a.

couple years back I potentially wanted. to end it with a leg drop I was like how. about how about just a leg drop at the. end of this thing and uh I got to say. something now it wasn't a good strategy. it wasn't I had to pun him in the head. obviously it would have been down there. but God what you what you did for the. business phenomenal but but I got to say. something because you brought name I. didn't mention the Miz's name what AO. this guy is dude good God you you talk. about a professional bro and I've been. watching him this kid he's not a kid. this man excuse me Mike this this guy.

doesn't miss a beat bro he's spot on did. a Spanish Fly the other night uh 20. years into this thing you know put over. Andrade I believe he just oh my God a th. plus losses I think what's the number. something like that it I was at the bar. the other night with his dad was it. Cleveland Jimmy yeah yeah m m dad was. there with at the bar yeah you were. there yesterday sitting with the uh. second row I believe at the basketball. game Cavs beat the hell God Donovan how. smooth is he bro smooth I'm sitting.

there behind the announcers table. they're walking by going hey what's up. Hulk they're act like they're ripping. their shirt off they going where you. going partying at later I'm like you. know the coach is right there I'm like. no no no they went drink a couple real. American bearers I know but the last. time I get involved in his basketball. thing I had Phil Jackson call me cuz I. had Rodman down on Florida partying with. me he wouldn't go back to practice for. the finals oh yeah so I got Phil Jackson. call where is he at I said I don't know. he won't go back that was documented in. the Last Dance he didn't show up you've. been a big uh basketball fan I see you.

with the Kevin Durant you always been a. big time basketball fan not all the time. but yeah if somebody special comes along. I get hooked oh so one those guys yeah. I'm one of the old school guys man you. know back in the day George's my guy you. know like I said Donovan smooth he's got. the Jordan but he he's he's got some. more to go to be where Michael's at you. know I got I got a chance to watch him. up close last night smooth as butter. yeah having. fun what size those shoes 17 ring 17.

what else you want to know no yeah we. well we know you know. we I forgot yeah yeah con yeah yeah. Conor has a question for you yeah we'll. stay away huler but uh when it came to. like healing and being a baby face did. you love it like we asked Stephanie uh. last week kind of about her heel run and. she said she loved being the heel did. you like that side of it did you like. both of them like did you prefer being a. baby face what was your feelings right. bro it was the first ride was just so.

shocking it's like if you were to turn. the corner and walk in the men's. restroom all of a sudden there would be. three aliens from Mars there you go what. and my first ride when I took off with. that red and. yellow I didn't know why the kids were. coming to me I wasn't ready for it and. then all of a sudden I get used to it. and now at this point in my life thank. God it's still happening I didn't. understand the role model thing and how. much the character meant and people. being buried with my Hulk Hogan shirts.

on and and a picture of me on the guy's. grave I mean it's just amazing how much. these people love that freaks you out a. little bit right lot of pressure a lot. of pressure brother to be perfect it is. it is but it also makes me realize you. know some a lot of my friends like you. keep forgetting your Hulk Hogan you know. and then Triple H has told me that don't. forget your Hulk Hogan it like. straightens me up you know and and. because it's just just a situation that. it was such a good run and you know then. there were some people you know that. thought my run was over you know I had a.

disagreement with Vince on that I didn't. think the Run was over and so you know I. wanted to be a bad guy after the. Ultimate Warrior thing you know cuz. after he won the belt from me I wanted. to go down the aisle and do the three. stud's turn slowly I turn to go back and. crucify him you know and turn into. Triple H Hollywood Hulk Hogan that would. have been a good turn but Vince didn't. want me to do it so we kept working and. working working I could tell the thrill. was gone the honeymoon was over but then. when I turned into a bad guy it was. almost like it was so cool to turn into.

this Snidely Whiplash evil character. where I'd grind and beat people and then. when they come at me oh please don't. hurt me I crossed my fingers you know. sorry you know I mean it was just so fun. to do it and then the lines got blurry. they started cheering me you know and. it's like when I went out with a rock. you know I'm going down the ramp and. they're cheering me and The Rock starts. punching me in the ring and I started. booing him you know I was like oh my God. we got to get this flipped around here. so it it got it got a little tough to.

navigate you know but since I call stuff. in the ring it's easy to just need a. couple minutes to get us back to Center. you know bracket all the BS and then go. back to Center you know NWO still the. biggest thing you've been a part of I. think you said that whenever you did the. um the return at SummerSlam or. WrestleMania I believe you talked about. Hogan's hangout how the NWO merch is oh. it's still selling bro but the thing is. is the red and yellow stuff still. selling I've got two retail stores I got. one in Clearwater Beach and I got one in. Orlando I can't keep the stuff in stock. I mean it's selling like crazy when's.

karaoke night Monday night I'm missing. it what what are you sing I. am how about tequil there one word. tequila in the whole song. tequ. Tequila not a bad no but it's it's been. great man and the wrestling business has. been so good to me it's just it's crazy. it's like Jimmy and I talk all the time. it's almost like what's old is new again. you know yeah AJ is in Ohio he has a.

question for you gotcha yeah Hulk Hulk. you mentioned uh listening to the crowd. he said it's like an art form I know. you're a musician you played music and. you've been in bands did that help you. like listen to the the crowd and kind of. get a feel and help with your stage. presence well it did help a lot cuz I. played music for like 10 years before I. ever got in the wrestling business and. when we were getting ready to go on the. road with a band called Blackfoot one of. the singers just the singer just got. married and uh one of the guitar players. had this girlfriend they didn't want to. leave so I got pissed and I said that's.

it I'm quitting I'm going to be the. greatest wrestler that ever lived and. they all fell on the floor laughing you. know of course why not but then the. stage presence of being in front of. those live crowds six nights a week cuz. we would play from 9: till 2: in the. morning Jimmy har was all about that he. was a musician too hell yeah Jimmy's. playing till 3:4 a.m. yeah no doubt and. I I got used to being in front of that. crowd brother so that when I got in. front of a wrestling crowd and I broke. in in Florida and you know and when I.

walked out to the ring I didn't have the. Jitters you know I was already used to. being in front of that crowd so it did. help a lot whenever you um whenever you. kind of live your life dayto day what's. the goal like when you're waking up. today like you know I want people to. better understand who I am who might. miss understand me a little bit might. have taken something that I've done. wrong in the past out of context I want. to sell some real American Beer I want. to put over Hulk Hogan what is the day. to-day at this stage well the weirdest.

thing is you know I don't want to sound. like a Bible bible thumper or holy o. it's just to be at peace to be at peace. because you know I was saved when I was. 14 you know accepted Christ I Savi I was. saved when I was 14 of course I derailed. music and wrestling and all the Deery we. went nuts and then you know I've been. through a couple divorces and I just. couldn't understand why this was. happening and it had a lot of it had to. do with me and the lifestyle and. everything and then um once I got.

remarried the third time my wife and I. both got baptized I just really went. back to my faith and all of a sudden it. just kind of straightened everything up. for me you know so the weird part is is. is once you're at peace you know the. good doesn't prevent the better and. things keep getting better and better. and better and you know if I'm going to. if I'm going to work I'm going to work. if I'm not going to work I'm going to. sit in my butt on the couch and you know. binge watch TV or something so it's. always if I'm working I'm searching for.

greatness you know greatness with the. beer I want this to be the number one. beer in America same thing when I. wrestled I want to be the number one. wrestlers it's whatever I. do the final goal is greatness so for me. to be working at my age you know and be. it's a blessing how old are you I'm 71. I'll be 72 in August happy birthday we. missed a few yep still working out still. working out yeah brother I hit it for. about an hour and a half a day what do. we do we do Beach we do full body what's. the workout well bodybuilding you know. I've got a gym in my garage I weigh 265.

lbs now the last time I weighed this I. was in ninth grade so I've always been. over 300 lb but I had 10 back surgeries. both hips replaced both knees two. shoulders couple surgeries on my face my. eye and just you know the back surgeries. killed me that's why I can't walk from. here to there no you can't we saw you I. was hanging on to Jimmy okay but you. still got both feet got there yeah yeah. but it's it's cool you know and and it's. like life is so darn so darn good that.

once you realize it now that I see it's. almost like and and here we go Bible. thump you guys bro it's not Democratic. Republican it's not who won or who lost. it's almost like a spiritual thing where. we're all turning back to being good in. the country being great again and and. just everybody wants quality of life and. I see it happening and it's Chang in so. it's this is the greatest time ever to. be alive yeah they're calling it. projecting a golden Air at least you. know that is the goal of the entire. thing I hope that's the case Unity is.

something that is beautiful and the. wrestling world has a lot of different. people involved in that are fans you. know a lot of different fans Republicans. Democrats Rich poor you name it. everybody kind in the building has it. always been that way cuz I think a lot. of people joke about uh wrestling fans. that haven't been around a long time. they always think it's like the dumb. people from the South are the wrestling. fans that's not the case wrestling draws. everybody I think do you agree with that. and has it always been like that no it's. always been like that and I told Trump. you know when when we were talking in. private at Madison Square Garden at the.

Nazi rally you know and I told him I. said bro I've been out on the road like. oh he and he held my beer too he goes. even though I don't drink Hogan I'm. going to take a picture with your can. the real American Beer yeah and so I was. telling him I said brother I said I've. been looking at these polls you know and. they said you're two points ahead here. and this pole this pser and this pser. says two points behind I said I've been. on the road for 6 months pedaling beer. and I see you know people are in school. and they're at work during the day and. that's when we have the appearances like.

at the Walmarts and the Kroger we got 2. 3,000 people showing up in the middle of. the day you know and they're all fans. they're all you know love wrestling and. stuff I said my fans are Democrats and. they're Republicans and everybody wants. you so I don't know how it could. possibly be even so the night I went to. bed he was he was ah head like. 18 electorial votes and I thought for. sure when I went to bed at 11:30 I was. going to wake up in the morning they'd. steal the election you know I woke up at. 4:00 in the morning to take a piss and.

he won I went what and so when he had. told me Hogan is going to be too big to. rig I thought it was like a catchphrase. like what you GNA do brother I thought. it was just a catch but he was serious. did you think did you tell him maybe he. should add brother at the end of that. too big to rig brother no but let me. tell you something I got to take credit. for be the being the first athlete when. I when I did the convention in Madison. Square Garden I did his dance before. anybody did oh you're saying it caught. on a little bit because yeah because of. me yeah I think you did it great to. involved yeah no ego involved how do you.

feel about everybody that says that. about you that's one big takeaway um. this guy's an egotistical Maniac is what. people your detractors say you said. you're at peace obviously you're trying. to do your thing but there's always. going to be detractors from what four. different Decades of success well those. mostly the haters are the ones that. haven't worked with me you know they. don't know me which is cool and you know. they everybody has an ego in the. wrestling business I get it um I have. respect for anybody that could stick. this business out you know because I've.

seen the UFC guys basketball players. football players come they get a day of. that they want to go back to where they. came from you know great guys like Cur. angland and Brock Lesnar you know. they're Benjamin Shelton there's some. really tough guys that have stuck it out. but the people that you know say I'm all. ego driven you have to have a certain. ego in this business because back in the. day I had the top spot bro guess what. everybody else wants yep everybody else. wants that spot guess who makes the most. money the guy of the top spot okay and. the best worker is the guy that makes.

the most money I don't care who you are. you know I don't care what your style is. in the rting the best worker is the guy. that makes the most money and that guy's. Vince McMahon or it was for a lot of. years you know because he was the boss. but at the end of the day the people. that say I have an. ego they haven't worked with me they I. don't heard anybody it was also a. necessity you think oh my God I had for. you to survive oh for me to survive are. you kidding me you had to have a a. confidence about yourself that cuz. there's a lot of people trying to get. the wrestling business you talked about. a gun to your face yeah uh I mean if you.

watch any documentary about what it used. to be Cutthroat is an understatement l. in the politics in the locker room and. everything like that you had to have an. unflappable confidence arrogance almost. to be able to continue to do your job. and if it wasn't you it was going to be. somebody right and you got to realize. when I get in this business there were. like six guys sitting in the locker room. broken noses colge flower ears teeth. knocked out they're all 320 330 lbs and. for me to take his job I had to take the. food out of his family's mouth nobody. wanted me in the business when I started. in' 77 it was a different business back.

in 1977 and nothing personal but those. big 300 and 350 lb guys a lot of these. guys are in the business now if it was. still the way it was they wouldn't be in. this business you know the guys that are. bu 70 80 pounds they would never have. let him in the business but thank God. it's changed cuz these guys are super. athletes yeah great show you know they. anytime you talk to an OG wrestler uh. the conversation is always like ah. they're planning uh spots and yada yada. yada they don't call it in the ring I. don't think anybody's calling anything.

in the ring anymore because there's so. many eyes on everything and you know. obviously best wrestler wins every. single match that is that is kind of how. we view it I like to hear the fact that. you're not like J did and hate all the. young guys no bro no I mean a lot of the. guys don't like me but I get respect for. them I understand they're going to go. through a period they're going to. perfect example when I was working at. WCW there was a whole group of young. guys they're all my friends now you know. Scott Hall Kevin Nash a whole bunch of. young guys that were they didn't want.

anybody in the business over. 40 I love Chris Jericho how how old is. Jericho now he's one of my favorite. friends yeah I don't know you know he's. got to be damn near 50u so things have. changed but they didn't understand at. the time Hogan Zill this one let's get. rid of him there was a lot of that going. on back then but the thing is to get rid. me I was the star in the 880s and here. goes the ego to get rid of me I should. have been gone in the 90s you know they. really should they had 10 years to. replace me but they didn't so I was a.

star in the 90s and then when that. didn't happen guess what happened I. still rolled in the 2000s Hogan knows. best so well whatever how' you feel. about that hindsight how do I feel about. it I'd never do it again ever I watched. I was a fan not with my family not in. the house too much oh bro brutal brutal. I mean I'd wake up in the morning the. production crew would be outside there'd. be putting the mic on me and on my kids. and everything like at 7:00 in the. morning they wouldn't leave till 10: at. night it was brutal yeah that's a lot it.

was brutal yeah but if it means anything. as a fan of the show I thought it was a. great show your misery was certainly. worth it without a doubt if it means. anything Ty has a question for you. hulster yeah you mentioned uh Rocky 3. getting fired I always used to read a. story that I don't know if it was when. you went in shooting someone was uh told. you like hey you need to put on for the. wrestling business like you need to beat. the [ __ ] out of Sylvester Salone in the. ring like actually shoot go at him uh. was there any truth to that cuz. obviously in like with thunder lips in.

Rocky 3 I always remember reading a. story that you did some serious damage. to slice alone and that you guys maybe. had some beef like afterwards after the. filming was over no beef but he's the. one that wanted it to be real because. when I this such a weird story when I. broke in wrestling at Florida there's a. guy named Tom Ernesto was the booker. okay my first day when I went down a guy. named hero matuda and I thought it was. in good shape he exercised it till I was. ready to faint burpees jumping squats he.

drove he he made me run around Tampa. Stadium a couple times follow me in the. station wagon like two feet behind me. till I was ready to pass out got me in. the ring put his elbow on my shin and. grabbed my toe and broke my leg first. day don't ever come back again I was. playing a rock and roll band had long. blonde hair down my back thought I was a. tough guy but I wasn't but at the end of. the day when I went out to do the Rocky. movie there was Tom renesto and Tom. renesto was coordinating this whole. thing so Stalone and Stalone could tell.

I wasn't real happy with the guy and so. Stalone goes come in my trail let's have. lunch together so he goes what do you. think of this guy I said well brother. you know it's going to look like a bunch. of fiction in there you know I didn't. know anything about the movies I'd never. done a movie before I negotiated stone. with my fee on the side of the Ring he. gave me 14 Grand to do the part you know. I've never had a agent or anything. before and so he goes well what what do. you think would happen I said well. brother I'm 330 lb you know I'm 29 years. old I got a 34in waist and I've been.

over in Japan I can really go right now. I said if you were to reach out with a. boxing glove and try to hit me at 160. lbs I'd break you in half like a chicken. wing you know I really would so he goes. well what do we do to make it real I. said well what do we need to do I don't. understand filming he goes well we only. need two or three big setups I said okay. well charge me in the corner I'll move. I'll slam you I'll pick you he goes no. no no one move is one thing I charge me. moving that's one setup I didn't realize.

that camera's going to shoot his point. of view my point of view and then a wide. shot you know I didn't realize just one. punch was a big setup I didn't. understand that so once he told me what. he needed I went we don't need Tom. oresto I can do this so basically we. blocked everything out move by move and. a couple times I did hurt him I hit him. with a high knee in the corner and I. thought I broke his collar bone I threw. a Punch If you ever watch it again I. throw a straight in punch to his. forehead that came from down here it's.

one of the best punches I've ever seen. thrown thank you no watch it again that. that straight punch you can't beat it. and then when I power slammed him he. wanted to take it instead of putting him. in the middle of the Ring I was a prisic. and I ran with him and I put him in the. corner to teach him a lesson and when I. my chest at his chest and I bounced up I. saw the blood go right out of his mouth. and I'm like oh hell he goes let's do it. again I'm going dude you're crazy yeah. it was it ended up being absolutely like.

one of the biggest moments in the. history of film and obviously wrestling. in that entire thing shout out to you. piecing it together big old brain no. crowd either can't even you know can't. it was just stock stuff it just he said. what would happen if a 300 lb wrestler. got in the ring with 160 lb boxer I. would eat your fist just you got close. enough to get to it'd be over prisic huh. you still talking uh it was always TI. off kids AR you brther yeah that's kayf. for Rizo brother well that that was the.

problem the last time we went back to. the WWE Vince was there said hey V. what's up with the giz eyes in the bizak. room they're just his hanging out with. big ears they just listen to everything. with Dio and he goes Terry we don't. speak Carney here anymore what you don't. you know yeah what's up with the boys at. the back they're listening to everything. that we're saying Cody rhod and a bunch. of guys speak Carney right Jimmy Cody. still speaks it there's the people that. are brought up into business Roman. Reigns speaks it yeah crew how do you. feel about generational wrestlers how do.

you feel about like second generation. third generation because obviously the. bloodline we talk about that Jay Uso. just won The Rumble yeah makes life easy. man makes these guys have it in their. blood so they'll work hurt a lot of. people don't want to work hurt you know. like if you break your thumb or. something in the Spectrum in the. afternoon you're in the garden a couple. hours later nobody complains you work. hurt you know teeth knocked out broken. nose it's not big thing you know it's. these generational wrestlers understand. what their parents went through and. their grandparents and so it's like. Orton you know Bob Orton I wrestled his. dad and when I first started in Florida.

Big O was in the territory I was a job. guy I did a squash match for Big O's. grandfather so I wrestled three of the. Orton you know who's Mount Rushmore when. you do Mount Rushmore obviously a lot of. people put you on there because of what. you did for the business how do you. judge it is it money earned business. change what do you whenever people do. those Mount rushmor is what do you think. they should think. about it's not money it's not money I I. can tell you right now who it' be I can. tell you who the four guys are right now. it's Andre the Giant okay it's Rody.

Piper it's without a doubt it's Ric. Flair and Macho Man okay that's that's. that's the real Mount Rushmore okay so. you left out obviously attitude error. there you left out modern generation. yeah and that's because you believe. company doesn't exist through those. things those guys laid the groundwork. for everybody that came after him now. obviously you are omitting yourself from. that a lot of people if you were going. to do that those guys made me if it. wasn't for those guys I wouldn't be Hulk.

Hogan Macho Man you and he obviously a. lot of deep history and NWO turn was. with and on Macho obviously in the world. upside down with it whenever you look. back on your relationship with him how. do you view it um well the good thing is. right before he passed away we kissed. and made up that's huge I think that's a. big deal lifelong we were together every. day I mean we traveled together he lived. right down the beach from me we trained. every day we did everything together and. then when he went to the divorce yeah. Hogan you're the one that did this to. Elizabeth you got in ear I'm like what.

was my wife not me you know my wife took. her down in Miami it was game over yeah. I heard about that g over good God yeah. but uh you know then he hated me for. like eight or 10 years and um then he. got remarried to his high school. sweetheart and I guess he kind of calmed. down a little bit and I was at the. doctor's office I was having some heart. problems or something and he took came. in there with his mom and I'm just. sitting there on that paper table you. know with my one of my Ex-Wives and he.

walks in he open the door my eyes got. this big my ex-wife really didn't know. who he was and he hey what's up brother. I man you look great man cuz he got his. size back cuz he went from Spider-Man. 290 down to about. 180 and I ran into him and TNA and it. wasn't cool we weren't cool but he was. he was kind of like very small I kind of. felt bad you know and he was didn't look. real great and then I saw him this last.

time and he oh man he looks like Randy. he was 240 healthy and he had a wedding. ring on married my high school. sweetheart and I introduced my ex-wife. to him she goes oh Mr Macho Man if you. want to we're having dinner Terry's got. a bunch of his lawyers over the house oh. no I don't need any lawyers I think I'll. start slow you know so so then I was. with Lanny his brother we were doing. some independent stuff up in Canada. wrestling at some places up in Canada. and we called and I guess his U dog or. something that just died I don't know.

what it was he was all right and he was. his dog was his favorite person you know. and his German Shepherd Man's Best. Friend yeah man Randy love that dog the. whistle is. like that kind of that's how he would. whistle for his dog that I can't do it. but that's how we do it yeah sound like. yeah yeah so anyway we called Randy hey. we're going to back this weekend we're. going have a barbecue with your mom and. stuff like that and I'll be damy passed. away before we got back okay but you do. have a sense of yeah we were cool at the. end man it it was really cool cuz he was.

back to being Randy you know any other. situations you think that the world has. misconstrued about. you uh I don't know I'm not trying to. here to to you know make excuses for. anything I mean some some no I think. that's a big piece of information there. with macho man I feel like I Clos I did. not know that was the case so I assume. there's other things throughout no I. mean you know I people either like me or. they don't you know there's no in. between a lot of people think that I ran. the show or I had the power of the.

pencil I mean you know I've I've heard. Bret Hart say that I destroyed his. career because I had the pencil you know. but then you know he's hated Vince and. he's hated Flair and he's hated and. Goldberg everybody hates everybody so I. mean I don't know where I fall in line. there but you don't know where you are I. don't know but the funny thing was last. time I saw try to reach out and make. right well if I saw him well the last. time I saw him I was in a WWE locker. room and I was being called to go to the. gorilla position and when I opened the. door Natty who I love to death was.

standing there with Brett go hey Brett. how you doing I shook his hand real. quick I don't think he realized I did it. he stole it no I said hey BR how you. doing he stuck his hand on I sh it real. quick and I was gone before I realized. before he even realized it was me I. think much like you did with Macho Man. before what's that you guys you know. made up who Brett yeah no we haven't. talked at all no but I'm saying you. should do that with every oh I'd love I. think I think it would be I love BR to. death I think he's cool as hell man but. I don't know you know bro you know it is. what it is with your career you know. what I'm saying yeah well especially. with where the business is I'll put it.

to you this way if you could have done. any better you would have okay I I. respect that and it's about everybody. that's every sport by the way everybody. makes their own deal brother that's not. just professional wrestling that happens. in football that happens in hockey that. happens in basketball there's a lot of. guys that think they got screwed by. everybody no I mean I'm not hating Vince. McMahon because he did better than me. now Bret Hart though was a guy though. remember that's why it's interesting. that there is still that I hope you get. a chance to bury the hatch with. everybody because you guys uh you and. your crew just like you mentioned your. Mount Rushmore obviously built this.

business to become what it has become. you guys got a cold beer yeah we have. need something cold beer yeah he'll have. one too we got some boys that are run to. the back with that being said I think. we're going to wrap this up I got get I. got to get cland for raw man oh that's. right that's right you were just there I. didn't know if you were going to raw or. not cuz I didn't know if I was or not. man.

raising hell I'm going they're going to. love this guy especially Vince was there. when you started right I said Vince is. going to love this just right down his. and then I saw you get in the ring I. said this brother's an athlete I'm going. to find out what he did and then I found. out you played football and stuff I went. always smokes yeah itur now now I know. why you got balance and timing cuz. that's what it's all about you know that. balance and timing is a big deal it's. everything that's why watching Michael. Cole ye it's like Cole stinks in the. ring he's got no rhythm you guys got no.

rhythm no timing no nothing but also. balance timing and placement if you're. not in the right place you're going to. get hurt real bad yeah and you're going. to make everybody look terrible exactly. you got yeah when I saw you okay the. brother's got it I'll tell you what. though I've been in there a few times. you know who else has got it check the. box I'm okay you done the gimmick yet. uh red turns to Green I'll whack you the. first time okay you got it hey actually. bring a chair out and I'll just old. school the no you don't want to hard way. from me ask Jimmy you don't want one for. me no if you're a virgin I'll hit you.

Fox yeah he worked your ass though he. sure did yeah you're like. brother problem yeah they were playing. is this a shoot they were playing yeah. they were playing yeah it worked you a. little bit hey you better watch yourself. though cuz you work yourself into a.

shoot there you go brother is that one. of the greatest tweets of all time I. think so yeah I think it is very cool. cuz the business is a shoot I agree with. that everything's a shoot are you. kidding me this business is not a work. this is a shoot if this was a work so. you and I are wrestling. and I pay get paid two million bucks and. you get 600 Grand is that a work who's. going to win it doesn't matter no but. I'm saying the money in the miles who. cares who wins It's Entertainment it's. predetermined it's a shoot if somebody's.

making more money than me that's a shoot. to. me it's a shoot right absolutely it's. the money and the miles old school how. long you got to be away from your family. and quality of life and how much money. they paying you to destroy your life and. be on the road so if I'm wrestling with. somebody they're making more money than. me it's a shoot and it should be a shoot. to them. too does everybody know how much. everybody's. making I don't know nobody's making my. day is I I already had my day I got. nothing to prove I'm good nobody's.

making as much as a hulkster no wait I. don't wait a minute hold on I had my day. but I was I was born 20 years too soon. oh you're saying nowadays paycheck's a. little bit different all biggest gate in. the history biggest gate in the history. of the WWE just happened this Royal. Rumble I know it was awesome and then. it's like the last last biggest one was. like whatever the last I think Mania the. last one and then the next one will be. the business is on fire brother it's. crazy yeah but it it's different pay. model now right no longer the.

pay-per-view checks and everything like. that because of streaming and everything. yeah it's different yeah it is all. different I don't know anything about it. I wish I did i' I'd love to get in the. middle of that one more match easy one. more match no it ain't there bro more. one more. surgery if I fall if I fall down in the. ring I think turned to dust biggest uh. first moment that pops in your head when. you think of your entire career right. now what's I didn't understand you first. moment that pops in your head when you. think about your entire career right now. Andre yeah slam of the giant has to be.

has to be yeah I didn't know if he was. going to let me do it yeah that was. shoot right yeah he and he didn't tell. me he was going to win or lose and he. was in a very bad mood which is. Unstoppable right if you're in the. dressing room with him and he drinks two. bottles of Crown Royal you're good. you're good. if he drinks two bottles of crown oy and. some other stuff for the pain watch out. you don't know what's taking place watch. out that was standard operating. procedure back then obviously not two. bottles Andre is a different animal but. people used to just to get through let's.

get through the night and let's see the. next stop no the guys really didn't. drink it was just me and a couple guys I. always kept kept a case of beer in the. dressing room for the boys well for me. too of course I I had to have a couple. beers before I went to the ring you know. I just did it just made me loose you. know. turned you into the H yeah it made me. over animated I needed that yeah so I. didn't have to wrestle very much never. shy whole life always built for public. eye you think even as a kid shy through.

Cena should have turned. heel my opinion yeah because what. happened with.

you in my opinion I think John would. have been one of the greatest heels ever. because he was such a great baby. face and you know you repent after. you've cut everybody's throat and stolen. all the money and cheated and stolen. everything then when you repent and beg. for forgiv forgiveness the wrestling. fans will make even a bigger baby face. here's the U hulkster all right real.
