this MLB Allstar game Tuesday, July. 15th, 2025. This program begins now. Sports. >> are happening all around us. Yesterday, we had the incredible honor of being a. part of the MLB All-Star game and its. home run derby. What an electrifying. day. Uh, big shout out to the. commissioner for stopping by, CC. Sabathia for stopping by, Aaron Judge. for stopping by, show Otani stopping by, and then obviously the Jet Jet pass and. swung by to keep us all in check for our. baseball knowledge. He actually assumed.

what was going to happen in the home run. derby and inevitably did happen. Uh, big. dumper wins the home run derby last. night. Congrats to Cal Roll. >> Proud of you, Dunk. Proud of you, Dump. Me and uh, let's go to the talk table at. Boston Conor and at Ty Schmidt. Great. jersey there, Con man. Tai, uh, obviously you were an all-star in the. MLB this year. Congratulations on that. We kind of got a full uh, >> uh, Makea-Wish experience from uh, the. MLB folks. I I would say yesterday. >> No. Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, uh,

we've talked about like, you know, my. personal Makea-Wish uh, situations. Obviously, the Golden Knights back like. that was one thing, you know, riding. around on the Zamboni. Sure. >> The Golden Knights started uh, as a. organization 8 years ago, 10 years ago. >> Right. Exactly. Um, so what we got to do. last night, I mean, it was very evident. early on there, uh, after we did the. intros, which is again just still insane. to think that, uh, we did that. >> There was a lot of baseball people that. really loved it. >> Yeah, >> that's what I heard. I I read it this.

morning. I woke up, I was like, pretty. cool day yesterday. >> Experienced something brand new. I. should have known anytime you drop us me. into a brand new situation with a brand. new group, everybody's reaction that is. uh of a certain elk, I will say he's the. exact same. Yeah, >> we hate this guy. Yep. >> Uh why is this thing yelling at me? >> We're in front of 41,000 people. Okay. >> Yeah, >> my voice projects. Sorry, I'm not a. little baby back [ __ ]. >> Okay, I do apologize for that. But the. fact that the MLB let us do this and. also uh I know the baseball people.

aren't going to love this. I think the. uh players were pretty pumped that we. were there, too. >> Without a doubt. That was a uh that was. a weird development. So, as we're. hanging in T-Mo, Shout T-Mobile. >> Shout out T-Mobile. >> Shout out T-Mo. I saw a lot of people. say, "You say no paycheck." It's like, "You think we got paid for that. yesterday?". >> Yeah. Yeah. That is the We offseted some. prices. Shout out T-Mobile. >> Shout out T-Mobile. >> Shout out Shout out T-Mobile. But I I. did see some this guy can't turn down a. check or whatever. It's like uh I have. turned down a lot of those. On that.

note, tough to turn down an incredible. opportunity though, especially with the. boys whenever you get a chance to. experience baseball at the level that we. got to experience it yesterday. And the. way the MLB embraced us and welcomed us. in and the people that are at the top of. the MLB are like, "Hey, we we appreciate. uh what you're doing here." And uh for. us, it was a situation that we could. have never seen ourselves in. Okay. Not. a baseball program at all, which I think. is why a lot of baseball people are. pissed off, which then I go back to like. why do you have to be gatekeeping about. your product? Like baseball is awesome. We are I am finding out reasons to love.

baseball as a 38-year-old, as a 37y old. over the last few years because I didn't. grow up playing baseball. I grew up. basically liking every other sport but. baseball. So now that I'm kind of. learning baseball, experiencing. baseball, and I think I'm trying to uh. basically speak from a perspective of. like, hey, I I this is really this is. all brand new to me. Like that is. literally what I'm talking about. But I. understand competition, okay? I. understand what athletes have to go. through. I understand the uh goal of the. game. I understand the strategy a little. bit more now. It's like I'm learning the. game as it's happening. And I do.

understand there's gonna be people that. hate that like, hey, this guy new to the. game doesn't deserve all these things. We agree. Like I don't think anybody. deserves what we were able to do. yesterday. We're sitting there during. batting practice for the home run derby. Yeah. And these dudes are walking in. here and we're at batting practice of. the home run derby. >> Dong shots just two feet from our face. talking [ __ ] to the people that are in. there. >> O'Neal Cruz cannot speak English. >> No. Not not at all. >> And uh as soon as we walk over, he he.

looks at us, starts smiling, laughing, and he goes, "I tried." Okay. Then he. hits a couple big ones, laughs, comes. out, dap them up. How you doing? Keep it. moving. He goes, "I have 21 in the first. round." It's a 513 ft bomb. And we found. out literally moments before it all. started. He knows of our existence. I. don't think he can understand what we're. saying, but he was very kind and cool to. us. Daps me up, say, "I will try real. hard." And I was like, "My man, you. would. >> I cannot wait to watch you do your. thing." And he did put on a show, as did.

>> everybody that was batting last night. Now, one particular guy. >> did not have a great performance. >> Yeah. >> The New York Yankees. >> Yeah. >> And I would say we had a great. conversation with him as well before. >> the home run. We had a great. conversation with him. We would like to. say thank you to everybody. And also to. Jazz, you don't change [ __ ] for anybody, bud. You play great baseball. You be. yourself however you can be. They were. all so cool, so nice to us. We learned. so much about the baseball world. Everybody from Kershaw and Freddy. Freeman. Obviously, we hung out with.

Paul SK. Who's the Milwaukee Brewers? >> Tyler McIll and and Ms. Rowski, the kid. who everyone's pissed that he's there. cuz he's only pitched in 25 innings so. far. >> Yeah, Ms. Rowski is like uh he. understands the narrative about him, too. Very much embraces it. I don't. think he's scared of the moment at all. Five years he's been, you know, in the. minors and trying to make it to this. point. He and Paul Ske, I believe, were. supposed to go to LSU together out of uh. uh Paul Sk. He was out of a Jo. somewhere. Instead, he gets drafted, hits the road, goes a uh minor a a ball.

>> Yep. >> Goes up triple A all the way through the. entire process. Now he's in the All-Star. game and it's like a lot of people are. mad that I think a Phillies guy was. >> Yeah. A couple guys from the Phillies. That's right. >> Yeah. Okay. That is Darius Butler's guy. That is Darius Butler's allar vet. He. very much understands the entire. situation. Yeah, >> you like talking to him. What a great. mindset he's he's been busting to these. games for a long time. Yeah. Like he. knows the roads. That's what it feels. like is the commitment to sport in love.

of sport that all those guys had. That. was cool to watch. And also to watch the. Dominican guys all speak Spanish. >> right right around all the English. speaking people. >> Yep. >> And then a couple of the whites that. know some of the Spanish drop. I got a. chance to experience the locker room a. little bit. I got a chance. Their [ __ ]. talk is in both Spanish and broken. English and it was a spectacular vibe. It was a cool night. We got to stick. around all the way to the end. Cal. Raleigh will be joining us in um. >> 34 minutes or something.

>> Boom. >> So, Big Dumper goes in there as the. league leader in home runs. Switch. hitter does switch hitting in the home. run derby, which we will talk to him. about. There were some strategy. decisions as people that were standing. on the field and we could hear the ball. coming off the bat. He was cold on each. side early. So left, he started cold, then he got hot, then he took a timeout, then he went to the right. Okay, now we. got to go through that whole process. again and then we get hot again. And. it's like he ended up winning and he. clearly had a strategy. I'm going to I. want to ask him if he thought about. changing it. And then obviously the 0.1.

>> Yeah. >> of foot difference for him of an inch. >> Well, >> hey, that's that cast, baby. >> Hey, we got modern technology. Rules is. rules. We was in the meeting. >> Yeah, we were. We were in the meeting. when they were leading out the rules. It. was us and the home run derby. competitors and then representatives of. the MLB. They had a slideshow behind. them. They're going through the rules. We were standing up there kind of in the. way. >> Yeah. >> One of these on the side as they were. talking because it was a little bit of a. tight room. They broke down all the. rules. There's a tie. It'll be the. longest hit ball. We have trackers on.

all of it. Said that in the meeting. Lo. and behold, >> tenth of a foot. >> Yeah. What are you gonna do? Well, why'. they tell that kid to rob the home run. then? >> That nope. That kid was doing his own. thing, which mad respect by the way, make a big time play. I don't know how. often you're going to get a chance to. steal a home run from an MLB guy in the. home run derby at Truis Park. >> Uh so if you get the opportunity, go. ahead and do that. They reviewed that. They gave him a home run. So win-win win. here. This kid gets the highlight. Home. run counted. We keep it moving. What. we're saying is home run derby was. electrifying last night. Thank you to.

the MLB and uh shout out to all the. baseball players I guess watch this. show. Yeah. So I guess they get into the. clubhouse around noonish. >> on a daily b. It's every day. >> So literally I think as a lot of people. from what we've been told. >> yeah for night games they're there right. as the show starts. >> from what we've been told we are very. much a part of these baseball seasons. >> Judge told us. most popular what American baseball. player in the world definitely in the. country. Probably the first time I've. heard Aaron Jud speak like backtoback.

sentences. He was dope. So like the. access that we got. >> from from the MLB talked to Jet kind of. uh on the way out he's like man I've. been 25 years haven't had an opportunity. to sit down with show he was awesome. when he just popped up on stage in full. uniform kind of out of nowhere as we're. getting ready to roll again. Uh just. that whole experience was dope, man. We. talked about uh the big balls, you know, that's that's obviously what you want to. watch. And growing up, I grew up, you. know, Maguire, Sosa, Barry. So every. night we turned that TV on, whether. you're watching.

>> What's that? >> It's a denominator of those three there. >> What are you talking about? >> Meuire, Sosa, and Bonds. Big ball. hitters. They all derby guys. >> Yeah, of course. That's what they. >> They put on they put on a show last. night, man. I hope uh Cruz does uh make. his way out of Pittsburgh at some point, though. Oh, I hate I know I know some. Pirates fans are going to hate that this. guy's box this guy's box office. All. right, we need to build a roster. We. need somewhere competing for the pennet. Okay, cuz. >> he hits the [ __ ] out different, man. Just like when you're on the field and. you see quarterbacks throw the ball,

you're like, "Okay, that kid is a little. different. You see a linebacker hit. somebody, you see something happen, it's. like, okay, that pop is different coming. off his bat." Like, that was some. different. That was some special [ __ ]. >> 513 ft. They put it in uh PNC Park, which is obviously where Pirates play. That thing's in the middle of the river. on the outside. Truest Park was set up. perfectly for the home run. It felt like. >> incredible. Like I I' I've never been. there and and it's fairly new, but the. way they have the kind of I I don't want. to say short porch, but from where we're. at in the hotel, which is right behind.

the stadium and looks down the right. field line, like guys were hitting it. out of the stadium all night. >> I didn't even know she had full uniform. on today, too. >> Do I? >> I mean, these are Lulu pants, you I tell. you what, uh I don't That's the other. thing. Hats off to these guys who aren't. competing in full uniform. It was so hot. out there. >> I had to change my pants. >> Yeah, it was so hot. >> I had to I had to leave the game to. leave the home run derby. >> to go change my pants. It looked like I. pissed my pants because the sweat.

through. >> front, back, and down the leg. I look. like my daughter when her diaper was. full and it just kind of runs down. That's what my ass and legs look like. cuz of how hot it was after we screamed. uh the introduction. By the way, big Bob. for Old Olsson. >> Oh yeah, >> dumper got a big one. >> He does have the fattest ass. >> He does. >> He does. >> I'm just trying to give actual facts. Yeah. Number of home runs. We're trying. to give a little intel. Yep. >> We're trying to introduce these people. maybe to people that don't know who was. No, I did say O'Neal. Cruz plays for a. Pittsburgh Steelers. >> No, no, you said you stop. You caught. yourself. >> You were going to say shortstop, but he.

moved his position. >> Yeah, that's exactly what I was It was. in the baseball world. Exactly. Yeah. I. wasn't thinking of a football team. that's in the same city that. >> No, >> which by the way would love to see him. play. He could maybe play receiver. >> He is 67. >> fast too. >> Gigantic. dog. >> dumper. It felt like it was cool seeing. the family line. Like seeing his brother. be the catcher, seeing his dad like his. dad, you could tell, okay, now we know. where Big Dumper comes from because look. at the ash on this guy. But.

>> so his dad was a catcher. Y. >> okay. And then he's a college coach now, baseball coach. And obviously he's. thrown BP forever. >> Boom. >> Baby dumper. >> Little boy dumper. 15-year-old. >> Little dump. >> He also a catcher. >> Yeah. >> He's going to go somewhere and be They. are a family, a catching family that. also I think all respects hitting. >> I couldn't even imagine the immense. sense of pride that Papa Dumper had to. have there. >> I'm throwing it to my youngest boy. >> Mhm. >> The home run derby.

>> Yeah. >> Welcome to the Raleigh show. Okay. throwing to his youngest boy as his. oldest boy is hitting more dongs than. anybody else in there and he's the one. pitching. It's like I'm almost getting. like teareyed thinking about goosebumps. >> how they have done that probably so many. times with nobody around pitch black. potentially with just lights on so car. lights on I'm thinking in my head so. they could do this entirety. It's like. what a moment for their family. Can't. wait to ask Cal about it. We'll have. Dana White in the second hour. Uh he'll. chitchat about everything going on. massive stories coming out of the UFC.

and the fight world, let alone boxing. that he has going on now with Turkey, TKO, uh, Nick Khan, and uh, I mean, they. got they got Canadel and Crawford. I. mean, that's. >> right around the corner. >> That's the first one. I think that's. their first fight. I think they're. probably going to do a great job. And. ladies and gentlemen, >> we have the incredible honor every once. in a while to be a part of moments uh, that'll be chatted about in somebody's. life forever. And today is another one. of those. I had the opportunity to learn. about this dude's existence just in the. last couple days.

>> Holy [ __ ] Football's got a guy. >> Yeah. >> Obviously, he's going into his senior. year, three weeks away from high school. football starting. >> Wow. >> He's from state of Georgia. He's. currently the 6A state champion player. from Georgia. He's the MVP of the state. championship. Ladies and gentlemen, a. man who had 197 tackles his sophomore. year of high school. Jeez. Absolute dog. Ladies and gentlemen, friend of the program, Tyler Atinson.

Tyler. Hey, >> Tyler. Tyler, now's the time. Tyler, >> what's up, dude? >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, good work, Bruce. >> Oh, nice. >> Good work, Bruce. >> Don't hurt yourself. Don't hurt. yourself.

>> Touch the glass. >> Good work, Bruce. Jeez. >> Now, >> wow. Uh, you'll have to talk into the. microphone this way and then go that. way. You know what I mean? We didn't set. the table up. Yeah, >> just the microphone will look at you. >> Yeah, the dims. >> There you go. That. >> should be good. Hey, Tyler, thank you. for coming. >> Oh, yeah, for sure. Thanks for having. me, >> dude. Absolute beast. Uh, >> I would like to say front of the. program, uh, Moolagetta, who we are. massive fans of and admirers of. >> I mean,

>> his deal is currently causing bit of a. rocket. >> Bit of a rocket butterfly. >> in the NFL, which we'll certainly talk. about once we get all the information, but it's hard to get information in that. situation because nobody's allowed to. talk because something is happening in. that particular world. So, when. Mulligetta reach uh reaches out to me. and says, >> "Hey, we got I got a guy in uh Georgia. who's a linebacker who's a dog." He said. he's obviously Mulligette is talking to. you. You're very very good. He said he. wants to uh do the announcement on your. show. I was like, "That's perfect. We. are honored to even be asked." and they.

say you wanted to come to Indianapolis. and then you brought your whole family. here. Victor, Laura, Brianna, Victoria, and. China uh here. Brought the whole family. We are so thankful that you came, Tyler. So, we appreciate you. Thank you for. letting us be a part of this process. Before you make your announcement, let's. talk about the recruiting a little bit. I think you told me in there you started. getting recruited in scholarship offers. in 8th grade. Is that accurate? And what. has this whole journey been like for. you? >> Uh the journey has been great. Um the. journey has been a blessing uh to be in.

this position to be get recruited in. eighth grade. So you know for me to just. to build relationships with uh coaches. and just learn more from coaches and for. all of them to have impact on my game. and just like my top four just to really. talk about me go over film and really. just go over my game with me. It just. means a lot. And so the recruiting. process has been great. Um I have no. complaints on if it's been negative and. negatives, you know, about the coaches. blowing your phone, nothing. I've been. enjoying every moment of it and I'm so. thankful to be here. >> Yeah, because we're in a wild transition. time right now for people like you, you.

know, in the transition process, recruiting process, especially with NIL. I feel like probably four or five years. it'll all get sorted, but right now it's. a lot of chaos. So, after meeting your. family, it's like parents, high school. sweethearts out of North Carolina. Obviously, we're all repping the gang. here. We're all acting up. Yeah, we're. all acting up. We're all acting up. It's. like it feels like you have. >> Let me Let me tell them what acting up. means. >> Please do. Acting up means to believe in. yourself with a never outwork mindset. It's a pitch off our last name. So. that's what acting up means. And you. know, on the side, it got never.

outworked. So we Hey, never outworked. over here. >> Yeah, I love that. It's a great trait to. have. And once again, I think your. family is spectacular. You have to be so. mature at such a young age with how much. money and how much chaos, especially if. you're being recruited as an eighth. grader. Was it always football? Did you. play any other sports? And when did you. I guess eighth grade is when you found. out, okay, I'm going to get my school. paid for at least in this particular. sport. >> Oh, no. I've really been u playing. football since I was four. So, I've been. playing this game since I was four. I've. really been playing the same position uh.

since I was four. I've been playing. linebacker and edge since I was four. And so, you know, I played I played a. little bit of basketball, but I just. realized that really wasn't my sport. You know, my dad was more into the. basketball, but I realized that wasn't. my sport. So, I really just stuck with. football, you know, just really just. loved the game and it just took off from. there. >> Okay. I love that. Debbot has a question. for you, Tyler. >> You talk about loving the game. Assume. you watch you watched a bunch of ball. growing up. Are there any players in. particular that you modeled your game. after? >> Uh, you know, I definitely say I got.

some football uh favorite players that's. in the league right now. Um, you know, it comes from Michael Parsons, Fred. Warner, and Rocoan Smith. Those are some. players I'll actually watch their tape. and um really get to just uh study their. film and just that's what I like to uh. watch on my free time and just see what. they're doing at that level, you know. >> Relentless. >> Do you view yourself as like an X. player? You can kind of go everywhere. cuz you're 6'2, 215. You can move. obviously, but you can thump too. I'm. watching some math. >> Yeah, you're a thumper too. Not scared. of that, which we respect. Appreciate.

especially at the linebacker position. But what is like the thought of what you. can do uh at the you know in college or. the next level? >> Oh you know I'm just a quarter I'm the. um I'm um I'm a chess piece I'm a chess. piece linebacker so I do everything you. know when it comes on being edge when it. comes to dropping the coverage playing a. run you know. >> How are your hands? You got good hands? >> Oh I have great hands. >> Oh no way linebacker. >> you know I have no cuz one thing about. it I I used to do boxing. Um, so just. doing that. And then I got a a great.

pass trainer, Marcus Howard. Um, just. been working on him with my hands and. stuff. So that just it just takes. linebacker to a next level. You have to. use your hands. You have to get off. blocks. You have to shed things. You. have to be able to rest the quarterback. um in this generation now. So yeah. >> Okay. I love I can't wait to watch you, man. Now with that being said, I think. we should bring your family up here. If. the students could come up here, I think. it's time for a university and its fans. to learn if a absolute. dog. is coming to town. Okay, so we have your.

final four. Uh yeah, let's get to. handholding there and then we will. also do this number here. I think. >> where's the Yukon? >> I was going to say I don't see an Iowa. hat that I thought we were a finalist. Okay, so your final four, Clemson, Oregon, Texas, in Georgia, 6A state. champion in Georgia. Obviously, everybody down there very excited. Texas. is in on every dog in the country. What.

they are building is spectacular. Uncle. Phil, Coach Lanning, >> out there in Oregon. Beautiful place. I. assume you feel the same way. And in. Clemson, Davo, what a phenomenal coach. and a phenomenal uh program in. operation. Now, before I steal any more. time here, uh family, Victor, >> yes, >> Laura, >> yes. >> Victoria, China, Brianna, uh we. appreciate you all for coming. And.

Tyler, if you would like to make your. decision, uh I think we would all be. very incredibly honored to be a part of. it. >> Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. First and foremost, I want um thankful. for God to be in this position. Um all. hats to him. you know, without him, it. would not be this situation. Um, I'm. very thankful for my family, my support. system, you know, all the sacrifices. they have made for me to be here. Um, definitely want to say the coaches. Definitely want to say my coaches. You. know, without coaches, you I wouldn't.

know the game of football. So, definitely want to say thank you to my. coaches and for them to pour into me and. get me to another step in life. Um, definitely want to say my trainers for. all pouring into me. um training me hard. and just working me out um for me just. to be the best. And I just want to say. all the recovery I'd be doing for my. body, all the people that take care of. my body, I just want to say I'm thankful. for them. >> Hell yeah. >> And I just want to say. let make sure that's everything. Uh. [Laughter].

let me let me just make sure that's. everything. Um. >> very humble and grateful. >> Yeah. And I just want to say all four. schools, it just been a blessing for. them to be pouring to me. I love each. and one of the coaches. Um I'm very. thankful for them to be um a part of my. journey and just for them just to be. helping me when it comes to learning and. really just being there for me when I. needed them, when they call me, check up. on me, and you know, so it just been a. hard process and hard decision making. just to pick one school. I wish I could.

play for all all four schools, you know, but that's not reality. But um I'm just. Oh yeah, we're not going to get that. We're not. getting We're not going to get no. >> So yes, I'm just thankful for all of. them. Um and you know, yeah, so I think. that's it. And then like I said, for the. next 3 to four years, I'll be attending. I know y'all been waiting for this, you. know, but I've been waiting for it, too.

But for the next three or four years, I'll be attending University of Texas, baby. Yes, sir. >> Congratulations, Tyler. Congratulations. to Coach Stark and everybody down there. in uh Texas. 197 tackles his sophomore. year of high school. >> Okay. He's obviously 6A state champ and. the MVP of the game. uh number one.

linebacker in the country. Absolute. beast and from what we have been able to. tell, incredible dude, incredible. family. Now, why was it Texas, you. think, in the end? And uh uh who all. knows this at this moment other than. before you announced that? Who all knew? Did coach Stark know that this was. happening today? >> Um we had conversations, you know, I. really just um trying to. >> I really was just trying to pick when I. come here, you know, just go from there. cuz I didn't want nothing to get leaked. or anything out. But, you know, what. really chose me to go to Texas is the. coaches, the relationship piece, um, the.

atmosphere. Um, you know, I feel like I. just encompassed everything I want at. Texas and yeah, so it just I just feel. like, you know, the way they going to. have me playing is is just the best fit. and that's why I chose Texas. >> Congratulations to him. >> Miss Laura, congrats, baby boy going to. Texas. And uh yeah, Miss L and uh. Victor, your process, what has it been. like for you guys? What has it been like. uh to kind of watch him mature through.

this whole process and obviously see so. many places send so much love to your. boy? Like that had to be a very cool. thing for you to witness for your kid. >> Oh man, it's it's a it's amazing, man. It's a blessing as a dad to see your. your kids chase their dream dreams and. accomplish the goals that they have set, man. And um I think the journey has just. been tremendous because he he's learned. so much. Uh his approach was just going. to on the visits and and what have you. was just to uh to learn from from what. from the coaches and and see become a.

better player. And it's just like I. said, it's just it's just been a. blessing, man. I'm just excited for him. I'm proud of him and and I'm excited to. see him in in the next chapter in Texas. Hook them. >> That's right. Let's do it. >> Hey, and I would like to say uh to you, Mr. and Mrs. Atinson, uh, from what we. have been able to observe here for the. last couple hours and learning your. story, obviously high school. sweethearts, phenomenal job as parents, you should be incredibly proud of what. you guys have accomplished, not only. obviously with Tyler, but with Victoria,

Brianna, and China as well. Cool people. Not a lot of people come in here that we. like. >> You guys, you guys have been awesome. So, we. >> at least I'm on the good side. >> No, no, no. We're happy to be on your. good side, but uh, congratulations you. guys. Tyler Atinson officially going to. Texas. >> Yeah. for coming. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you.

Congrats to Texas, too. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Hey, Glen Pal. >> Legit. >> Texas in all, everybody. >> They're going to be so good. >> Think McConna's pumping right now. Glen.

>> playing Pal. That's all I thought of in. my head was Glenn Pal in Scotland or. something. >> This is the guy. >> Don't worry, Bill. Go work Bruce. Go a. cool car. >> Gets a notification. Hey, that was a. pretty cool little setup there. >> Our first time seeing it was live, obviously. >> Mhm. >> So, I that was. >> that was kind of nice. >> That was very cool looking and the hats. and everything. >> I mean, I feel like we really did a. >> We did a Hey, we appreciate you guys. >> I appreciate you guys. >> See you, dude. >> You're welcome.

>> How about How about saying I wish we. could play for all I could play for all. four. I mean, the world we're in right. now, we don't want it to happen, but it. is possible. What a legend. Good for. that kid. That was sick. That's awesome. The other ones ha have been much. different because it's just one hat. You. don't see any of them and they just put. them put them on. Yeah. >> And he traveled here. Tyler, we. appreciate you, dude. >> So cool. >> Hey, no problem, man. >> By the way, he is a professional. athlete. Yeah. >> Has been for about three, four years. now. >> In four years.

>> They're talking about the rehab, the. training, the practice, the schedule. He's taking summer classes obviously. because he's going to graduate early. So. it's like what a schedule looks like. They're putting in practice and rehab. into high school schedules because you. take summer classes to remove some. So. it's like a full. >> you have a full blueprint basically for. these high schoolers. And then. >> I I love that Mulleeta is representing. high school athletes. >> Yeah, >> that is great for these kids. like great. for these guys. Whenever there's like a.

bunch of like um you know agents that. aren't really agents kind of getting. their hooks in a young person, not good. That's whenever you hear like terrible. stories and people signing these deals. or agreeing to things that are like. future and everything like that. Mola. Geta getting invested in the next. generation. Obviously it's good for his. business. Not going to act like it's. not, but that's also good for their. business to have somebody like that in. there. And we t a lot of people don't. love uh more specifically NFL teams. don't love the deals that Mulligetta is. able to get done. But if you are a.

person that is being represented by. Mooligetta, that is the guy. Yeah. Like. hey, this is who we would like be chit. chatting for us. So whenever he calls me. and tells me about this guy, I know a. lot of things. I know he's going to be. >> very professional. >> Yeah. >> Mature and very good at football. And. you look into this guy. >> Yeah. He's unbelievable at football. Number one linebacker in the country. >> Mhm. those four teams. I think legit I think. it was very much like a. >> nobody knew. >> Yeah, I think and I think I think he was. very conflicted on the entire thing.

>> for a second there. >> I thought he was going to change. >> So did I. I was like, "Oh, this is this. is going to be awesome. He's he's going. to change it up and and we're not going. to know." But that I mean being from. Georgia and picking Texas, like that's a. that's a big deal. That does feel like. it's a rather large. >> and and I think the number two. linebacker in Georgia who's also. fivestar is going to Alabama. >> from Georgia. >> It's okay. We know Kirby will have. defense. No doubt about. what happens now is like you know some. of these guys like him, they move they.

move the needle like they'll go commit. somewhere. Now you'll have maybe some. decommits from another school. You go to. Texas to kind of join a guy like Tyler. But I we didn't get to ask him. But like. I'm sure Arch Manning been there has. something to do with you know just like. you go and you you look at these NFL. teams you want to look at the. quarterback you look at the coach. situation. So I mean everything is going. to be at his fingertips going to have. all the resources being at Texas and. then you talk about dealing with a guy. like uh David Muletta like the resources. that he has with his clients like the. guys that he can.

>> talk about Micah. Yeah. >> Those are all exactly. >> Muletta. Here's a group text with uh. Mike. I don't know if you heard Micah. This is what he said about you. He's a. big fan. Is there anything you can say. to him? Uh maybe some uh drills that you. do actually like that is a weapon. I. think it's good for the game long term. There's obviously some negative. >> for sure. >> that come alongside all of this. >> Feels like he's pretty well shielded. from a lot of it. >> Yeah. >> Now granted, being a professional since. you're 15. >> We'll see what the long-term effects of. that are. You know, cuz they talk about. like people being teenagers and working, being famous, and having money and.

things like that. What are the long-term. effects of that? Who knows? We shall see. what that is. But I think having a. direction and knowing that you're going. to be a pro and becoming a pro has a lot. of upside too for how people operate. whenever they get to that level. Oh. yeah. And if you think about he's got a. senior next year, >> three, four years there. So what's like. five years uh four or five years until. he's at the NFL. >> and then what that's like a four-year. deal there at the NFL before you get. another deal. Yep. >> So he's like nine years away from like. real real real money. >> Yeah. >> And that is still very much he.

understands that, you know, it's not. just about money obviously. It's about. legacy and team and being good and. winning. He's a state champion. I mean, a guy is wants to win and all that, but. it's like if you're thinking strictly. business-wise, your second NFL deal is. worth more than any of this [ __ ]. >> Yeah. Generational. That is where we. were trying to in Texas to your point. about having all the. >> uh everything access to everything you. could possibly want. Yeah. >> I mean, forever. >> People are talking about those. collectives. It's like Texas has like. four or five of them. Yeah. >> Like people are talking about does our. school have one of them? If they got one. of them, shouldn't I think Texas has.

like four or five different groups of. boosters that are like, "What do you. need? How do you need it?" Yeah, we are. here to help. Hook the [ __ ] out of them. We that that is what we are doing. And. uh. >> that's great if you're a Texas fan. >> Yes. >> That's great if you're playing for. Texas. >> For everybody else, it's like Texas is. one of those teams that's up in that. conversation. They're alongside Oregon. They're alongside Michigan. They're. alongside Ohio State. They're alongside. Penn State. By the way, we've been. telling you about Penn State. >> Yeah. Mhm. >> Penn State is in on all sports. If NIL.

is involved, Penn State is involved. They would like to be known for being a. university that is great at sports. They. got the. >> number one hockey guy. >> He'll be the number one pick in the. draft next year. Yeah. Without Without a. doubt. He's like the McDavid Bard, one. of those number one picks that they've. known about him for years. >> Yeah. Penn State like this is what Penn. State is trying to become though. Like. obviously football, we want everything. We're doing a $700 million renovation on. a football stadium right now. cash. >> Yeah. >> I don't think people fully grasp all of.

like they don't I don't think they won't. >> I don't think you fully grasp. >> I got to see them to believe it. Football. >> I understand Penn State I agree. >> they're going to spend the money but. >> I got to see them get it done. >> Yeah. Two biggest sports co basketball. and football in in college need they. need to get it done there. >> Yeah. Well, you know I think Ben State. thought they were going to potentially. and then back. I mean he might be a top. five. >> pick doesn't throw that interception. They might go to the national champ. >> Bingo. That's what I'm saying. Like they. they're not good. It's like you ask AQ. is like. >> we were we were good.

>> Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is. a Big 10 monster. I don't know if he was. number one linebacker in the country, >> but I know he's number one in state of. Ohio's heart. >> He was when it mattered. >> Ladies and gentlemen, guess who's back? AJ. >> Hawk. back door. >> in a full jersey. Oh, the kids. >> That thing signed. >> The kids signed that. >> Ken Griffy Jr. >> Yeah. >> Uh Paint Rose. >> It's an authentic uh replica autograph. on the back. Yeah. >> You probably raise that.

>> But that's also uh Griffy. That's not. Junior. >> This is Junior. This is This isn't Mr. This is Junior. >> Is there a Junior on the back of the. jersey? >> I don't know. >> I don't think. >> Yeah, just Griffy, it says. >> Yeah. So that's that's Ken. >> Okay. That's senior. >> Senior Ken Griffy Jr. We're good. Side. things. >> It's not Griffy Jr. This is steal the metal guy. You know. who signed it? >> You know the thing about Griffy Jr. is. that on the back it says Griffy Jr. >> Now with that being said, Ty Schmidt and.

I did meet Ken Griffy. >> We did. >> I saw he's taking he was uh on a on. assignment as a photographer. Right. >> We complimented his picture. I mean. >> I want to say we hit all the beats with. Ken Griffy whenever we saw him. Junior. obviously not. he was we were walking through the club. >> We were trying to get out. He had people. on his back. >> Of course, >> Mr. Griffin. >> Yep. Oh, yeah. >> A lot of that. As he was trying to exit, we were trying and we were trying to. avoid the same thing going the opposite. direction. >> and uh we made absolute ass. So, holy. [ __ ].

>> It was like a literally a divider. >> Yeah. >> A divider. >> This lane. We were on this lane. >> He had crew of people behind him. Certainly annoying the [ __ ] out of him. without a doubt. I mean, no questions. asked. Just, hey, can you sign we photo. the whole. and we're going the other way. We have a. couple. Not as many. Nowhere near his. month crowd obviously, but we certainly. held him up in the middle of that crowd. so we could let him know that we were. big fans. >> Yes. >> Had to be done. >> Had to be done. >> I think he'll be all right with that. You didn't ask him. >> Dap up. >> Stop for 10 minutes and sign autographs. >> Well, he got over to our lane and then. he backed out. It was almost like a We.

almost gave him. >> like a a small reprie. >> Like an X. Does that make s We almost. gave him. >> evac team. >> Uh he was awesome. We saw Smoltz. >> Yep. Smty. >> He came in second in Tahoe. What What. place did you come in? >> I believe I ended in 47th out the. American Century Championship. >> Okay. So, how was the American Century. Championship this year? We didn't get a. chance to enjoy it. We watched it uh on. TV. Had some great m. >> Pavski Pavo. >> Joy Pavski hockey guy. >> Unbelievable. Eagles to win it on uh the. 18th hole there on Sunday. And.

obviously, he would have won I think. even with a birdie or anything good he. would have won. Smoltz comes in second. Pav was really rolling it out there. We. talked to Smoltz uh what's that? >> Rollins to the hole in one. Yeah. Great. to see a great to see old buddy that. Mastercraft boat which I checked out. immed two recliners on the back. >> Oh, that thing's got to be that thing's. got to be $300,000. Like it's legit. That's. >> how much that thing costs? >> Probably. I don't know. Maybe more. >> I live on water and I don't have a boat. I'm not. Bingo. But I'm not a big boat.

guy. I don't understand the water much. I'm learning it though. I'm learning it. >> Uh they showed that boat a lot because. he won it. >> and obviously we've tried to win boats. out at American Century. >> You got close. >> Very close. I I got like. >> a couple times. >> I think it was like this far away from. having a boat cuz in my head I was like. >> I need that boat. >> A lot of people trying to win this. I. need a boat. I actually need it. >> I actually need a boat. So uh as they. were posted that's a beautiful boat. Congrats to Jimmy hitting the hole in. one and win that. Um Smoltz says he. plays every day. Yes, we talked to him.

He plays every day. He said he is trying. to win that as often as he can. >> Yeah, he's getting out there and doing. that. Do you feel like the competition. is getting better out there or uh how do. you feel? I think so. I think. everybody's getting better out there. I. mean, there's so many people that that. want to play in it, that do play in it. But I talked to a lot of them and dudes. are bringing out swing coaches. They. have like stretch people. They have like. they're like professional golfers how. they how they approach the whole. situation. I know Pavvelski, he seems to. have find a great balance of like having. a great time and being the best golfer. in the tournament at the same time, which is very tough to. >> hockey guys square it up like they have.

to square it up their whole lives. Yeah. >> On the ground. You know, like baseball, it's in the sky. >> On hockey, it's on the ground. So, it's. basically the same place. got squared. up. I think they have quite an advantage. for the hips and the body to kind of. time up a little bit better from just. this is just my uh experience of golfing. with different professional athletes, basketball players, shooters, I think. they're such a muscle memory crew that. they can kind of get into there. >> silky smooth. I played with Zack Lavine. like just unbelievable silky smooth. swing all day long. kickers and punters.

kind of a similar thing because of the. mechanics, but I think you like have to. get the hand swing motion because leg. different obviously than the the leg. swing there. And you were just I'm going. to actually grip it and rim the shape of. this thing. It's unbelievable how good. of go. Were you better or worse this. year? >> My score was not as good. I mean, you. know, it's all putting like I missed a. ton of putts. Have Oh, I got an eagle. putt here. Sweet. You're walking down. the fairway thing. I can't wait. Eagle. I'm going to get six points on this. system and then I tap in for par. I'm. thankful I didn't bogey. Like that's. happened. That happened twice in the. same round. Okay. So, a little. heartbreak. Who did you play with? You.

played with Aaron. Obviously, >> I played with Aaron on Friday. >> and Jordo. >> and Rob Mack, formerly Rob Maney. >> Yeah. >> His wife was on game day. I saw his wife. who came to game day. Did a very good. job. She was awesome out there as well. Yeah, he was he was awesome. >> Did you let her know that we all. legitimately thought she did great on. game? >> I think she I think she was like. undefeated almost in her picks. She was. on the top of the scoreboard most of the. year. >> Okay. So, I don't remember the picks. I. apologize. But I do remember her being. awesome at the. >> She was good. Yeah, she was really good. Um I played with Joe Buck and Jimmy. Rollins on Sunday. Jimmy just fresh off. winning that boat with the hole in one.

So, he was I played with some awesome. people, man. It was really fun. >> Joe Buck, how he's How's he doing? >> He did good. He played well. I think he. ended with 12 or 13 points. >> Crazy guy. >> Yeah, >> he's the best. >> Yeah, Joe Buck's a good guy. >> Yeah, when we were we got to sit in the. broadcast booth for uh the home run. derby and all I could think of is like. freaking Joe Buck was probably here. >> Hey, these dudes had the best seat in. the entire. >> saw where you were posting the pictures. from. Uh yeah, we got we got lucky. because um Mike Fos SVP uh he hooked us. up with the uh like it was an empty.

broadcast booth because they were doing. it on the fields. >> Yeah, cuz all so it all came together so. late. >> Yeah. >> I don't know if you heard about the. story, but there's a lot of people that. did not want us to go, including it. sounds like baseball purists. >> They were on the side of this. >> gatekeepers. I don't know if Kirchin. probably did not like us there. If I had. to guess, I don't know. He's got good. juice. >> I shook Kirchin's hand. I think he was. happy we were there. >> Yeah. Plus, they were tossing them. around like a ragd doll in the pre-show. >> They were actually They were doing.

>> That's what they were doing. >> I missed that. >> They pick them up like this. They're. curling them. But it all kind of came. together a little bit late. Uh the MLB. stepped up for us. Very, very thankful. they did that. And uh. >> we're like, "Well, can we watch this. thing? You know, are we able to maybe. watch it?". >> Yeah. From your room. So that. >> Oh, so you're thinking about going back. and watching from the hotel? Well, the. bus maybe for a little bit. Yeah, it was. a little bit. And then uh the MLB made. some plays. MLB like they have. incredible. >> made some plays and then a booth was.

open because they took the thing down to. this the field side or whatever. So the. boys got to sit in the broadcast booth. uh and while Ty and I were out there. about to do our thing, we're scanning. the entire stadium and we're like, "Wow, this is awesome. Holy [ __ ] this is so. big." And we look right at home play. Then we look up and we just see. >> Yeah. They're right. They are right. They were. the best seat in the entire I mean it. was the best seat. >> We were at the apex of the ball. So like. when the when these dudes are hitting. >> right behind home plate.

>> Yeah. Right behind home plate. Can see. where the ball is landing. >> Baseball purists are so mad right now. >> So mad. I mean. >> we are so sorry that we got it like in. person seeing those guys hit those shots. in person. Way better. I cannot imagine. >> Bro BP we were there for the cruise. miss. >> It's insane. >> Him BP just the ones that didn't even go. out. They hit the like the top like just. watching the cuz he's. >> their hands are legit. It's. unbelievable. >> Yeah. But also. >> everything. >> this the the the hit. >> and then the arms are coming and then. the sound just like a [ __ ]. >> Yeah.

>> Shotgun. It's barrel on ball. >> It's unbelievable. We were right there. I. >> typically I don't think we were supposed. to be where we were. Well, that's why it. got tough later because for like the. areas on the side, it's like you have. all the allstars and they were just kind. of like with their families. >> Yeah. Like mingled in there like on the. MLB was like you guys just hang out. >> picking up their kids snacks and stuff. like. >> I picked up a child. Yeah. A couple. different kids I picked up. Yeah. Kyle, I believe little boy, three-year-old. That's right. >> Go low five high five. Miguel um. >> uh Yeah. Eu Hennio Suarez's son. Uh cuz.

he's a big WWE fan, too. >> Miguel, big WWE fan. Then the American. Nightmare Cody Rhodess comes out. Oh, he's over by the way. >> Boy, is he over. >> Whole place sang the. boo. Come.

bad. Oh, >> all of Atlanta. >> How hot was he in a suit? Obviously, he's always dressed very nicely. He. didn't look on TV. Didn't look too bad. >> Well, that's cuz uh QB1 though sweat. >> Ice in his veins, bro. >> But he uh he was he was hot out there. It was hot out there. It was good to see. him. >> But yeah, everybody watches the [ __ ] I. guess. Everybody watches. >> Oh, yeah. A lot of people yelling for. you. Where's Pat? Pat coming next show. I think he might. He's got squared away. on this putter situation.

Boy, he does. >> I saw something pre-show. I think we. might get him back. >> Boy, does he. >> walk out. >> He with the with the old man putter that. you hold up around your chin and motion. You didn't you were draining putts. earlier. >> If you showed that putter to an old man, that old man would die. >> immediately. Okay. Future. >> Good luck traveling with that thing. It's 19 ft long. >> Look at that piece of machinery. Unbelievable. >> Look at this. Open st. Oh yeah. Open. stance. Here we go. >> Just a little open. >> This is definitely going in. >> Guaranteed. >> [ __ ] it.

>> [ __ ] working on it. >> We didn't want that one. That's a good. two. That's a good two putt. >> Well, yeah. Now you're back. You got. that thing. That thing is awesome. >> This is going to change my life on a. golf course. >> And if not this one. >> Got a couple others. >> We got this. >> Boom. >> Now that's the forearm. The Bryson. forearm situation. I don't even know how. he does it. >> Right here. >> I think that's the one. >> The big one. >> No, the one that's in your hand right. now. >> I can hockey stick this one, too. >> Yeah, that one's better for your hockey. stick. >> Why don't you do that? >> Got more putters out there right now.

>> Oh, yeah. Why don't you knock one in? >> We got We got a guy to join. >> Oh, okay. >> Ladies and gentlemen, not just a guy. Sorry. >> This guy's caboose could be confused. with a freight train. This guy has the fattest ass in all of. sport. >> Yep. >> I'm not the one that deemed him that. The world has. >> That's right. >> Ladies and gentlemen, the reigning home. run derby king for the Seattle Mariners. Ladies and gentlemen, allar big dumper. cow rolling. Yeah,

[Applause]. >> what a night. What a night. Incredible. performance. Thank you for doing that. for all of sports. First thing I want to. ask is uh how's it feel? I know we've. seen the video of you saying I'm the. home run derby champ and everything like. that. But like for real, that is a sense. of fulfillment and a dream come true. that uh I assume that you thought could. potentially happen but never really. expected it to happen. Is that how. you're feeling immediately afterwards? Yeah, I mean obviously great honor to be.

invited and uh you know I honestly. didn't I I didn't think I was going to. win it at all. I just uh especially. after you know barely sneaking by by. like half an inch in that first round. So it was crazy uh super fun night and. um you know they put on a great show and. you guys did a great job doing the whole. uh you know starting it off last night. >> Well, thank you for saying that Cal. A. lot of people are not saying that, but. so I appreciate uh you saying that and. uh I appreciate your friendship and you.

being good to the program. You've made. us much better and obviously we were. nonbiased in our thing. >> But if you listen to me announcing you. last night, I actually go and now like. that is and you weren't even the last. one. So there's a lot of pressure on. you. I think a lot of people in the. baseball world were like, "Hey, this. home run derby goes well if Cal Raleigh. does well." And then once we watch the. battery, if you will, of what you had. operating with your dad, you know, big. dump. dump. >> Yep.

>> Mhm. >> And then big dump and then little dump. catching. It's like I got emotional. thinking about it last night as we were. flying home and then on the show today. just the amount of pride that I assume. you all felt, but your dad had to have. felt so much inside. I don't want to say. did your dad cry last night, but was. there a moment where you all got a. chance to take it in and be like, "Hey, our family just took on the world.". Basically, what we've been doing in our. yard and in local ballparks, we just. took on everybody and we won. Like, what. did you guys have that moment? Because.

we think it was very beautiful to watch. >> Yeah, I mean, it was unbelievable. Uh. obviously there's been a few, you know, father-son duos, but to have father, son, and brother, uh all teaming up and. doing it and uh seeing the whole little. fan section there in Atlanta last night. was was super special. And um you know, that was uh it's kind of speechless, you. know, you just like I said, it's a you. know, a family affair to go like that. And um it's kind of just like a a.

Hollywood ending in a way. >> Yes, definitely a movie. I mean, we get. chills thinking about it. You know, we're all uh kind of I'm going to say. emotional for your legitimately. emotional for your family. Just how cool. would it be if if I if my daughter was. in a home run derby and I was. >> vast major and we won. I'd be like, "Our. family just [ __ ] beat your that would. be that would be a cool that would be a. cool thing." Okay, on that note, couple. quick questions about strategy. >> We talked to you beforehand, >> you know, and it did feel as if hey, if. the obliques get a little sore over.

here, we go over here. It's like we got. you're two guys battling against. everybody else. We saw in that first. round it felt like it took a little bit. to get loose lefty then you started. stroking them. Bang boom boom. Then time. out comes and you go to the right side. Then it felt like the same thing. Kind. of got to get loose again. And then once. you started connecting on the right. side, boom boom boom. We're hitting. them. Then we get the bonus time and you. go back to the left and we're worried. We're like you're hot right now on the. right side. Did you have a strategy. going in? Was that the plan or were you.

kind of feeling it throughout the entire. evening on whether or not you were going. to be righty or lefty which is an. incredible feat by the way being a. switch hitter home run derby champion. Yeah, I mean I wanted I told you know. obviously my dad and and brother I was. like you know regardless of what happens. I want I want to at least switch hit and. uh you know I feel like that was a cool. moment for the crowd and um you know for. baseball in general to at least see me. doing them both and um so you know. whether I lost or even advanced at all I.

wanted to at least switch hit and I I. accomplished that and then um once I. barely squeaked by I was like um I don't. know I just kind of felt a little better. from the left side. So, I was like, let's just let's just let it roll. And. it it worked. And uh at that point, I. was like, you know, we're here. We might. as well try to win this thing. And um. you know, that's it's kind of what was. the hot hand at the time. >> Yeah, it was beautiful watching. How. about the little T-Mobile pink balls? Sweet. >> The rotation that that Yeah, it watching. that thing fly through the sky was. awesome. Go ahead, Dudge. check out. Did.

you feel any uh I guess extra pressure. being being the home run leader, being. kind of the I guess the main event main. draw there uh with the derby. Did you. feel any extra pressure going into I. know you said you didn't expect to win. The books definitely did. I picked you. Not going to tell you who all the other. guys picked, but I picked you to win, but did you feel any extra pressure. going into it? >> No. Um but watching a lot of home run. derbies in the past, usually the the. leader doesn't usually end up winning. uh well, whoever's leading in the. league, you know. Um so it doesn't.

always translate like that. It did last. night. Um and uh no, I didn't really. feel any pressure. Uh I was just. anxious, you know. I was anxious in that. first round to get going and excited and. had to wait a little bit just because I. was uh second to last to go. So um but. it was it was fun. It was just a great. experience. >> How'd you feel about the whole process? You know, there's a lot of conversation. about the rules and everything like. that. you you just take the rules for. what they are and just do your job or. you know cuz the old school days was. what 10 outs yeah as a whole and it was. pretty easy to understand now it's like.

if it's over this if it's longer than. this you get this I think they're trying. to make it as fair and as big bombs as. many big bombs as possible did you have. did you your dad and brother go through. a strategy on what the plan was because. it felt like ball was coming pretty. quick after ball was uh sent out was. that all something that was discussed. >> yeah I mean I think you had more time. than you realize you Um, obviously with. the new format and the time being uh a. part of it, there is a little bit of. strategy involved in the sense of, you.

know, you don't want to go too fast, but. you also want to make sure that you get. all the balls in and you get uh enough. swings in time. So, it's kind of. interesting, you know, um, where they're. at with it. And, you know, you watch a. guy like O'Neal Cruz last night who went. 512 ft um, which was absolutely amazing. Never seen anything like that before. But at the same time, you almost want. to, you know, admire it a little more. and you want the crowd to be involved. You want to be able to watch those and. not have to, you know, pan back and and. go watch him take the next swing before.

it's even landed. So, I think, you know, finding a happy medium there in the. sense of maybe being able to watch some. balls go a little further and maybe guys. can put a little more uh thump into it. rather than, you know, losing their legs. and energy like that. So, that could be. maybe something in the future. >> I love that. Love you speaking up, too. I think a lot of people are going to be. very appreciative of you speaking up on. there. And if it's not as rapid fire, not only can you admire it, people that. are maybe taking a knee down on third. baseline don't think they're going to. get drilled in the temple. >> Yeah. >> You know, >> I mean those kids out there in arms.

>> Yeah. The kids the kids for sure. Yeah. There's And somebody snagged the home. run obviously. Congrats to that guy. They counted it. And there was I guess. in the past there's been a couple that. have have taken a few. >> Yeah. >> taken a few pumps. >> Mhm. Yeah. But me and Ty taking a knee. down on third base line as you're there. because we don't want to be in anybody's. way. We're not supposed to be here. They. added our seats here. So, we were just. trying to stay out of the way on. >> and I'm like legit needed one. >> Thought about that a couple different. times. Now, we're on a few milligrams. obviously and we're having a good time. and we're enjoying baseball obviously,

but like a big ball goes bang and then. as the ball's like landing, holy hell. I. hear crack of bat over here. >> Oh my god, that thing might right in the. m Yeah, exactly. I would have been dead. So it is a little bit. You're right. I. think we should get the chance to see. these bombs, especially with how many. left the stadium last night. >> Truest Park was like the perfect place. for Did you feel that when you're like, did you Is that optically a good I. assume that's a good park for big ball. hitters. That's last night. Perfect. >> Yeah, it was it was great. Right field.

is a good that was a good spot. There's. lots of fans and you had the chance to. clear it, which is what everybody wants. to see. And you know, I mean, that's. what fans want to see, right? They want. to see, you know, how many balls. obviously can leave the yard, but how. many how far they can go and, you know, those are the ones that people people. remember those. You know, people are. going to talk about O'Neal Cruz's 512. foot home run for a really long time. And like I said, obviously didn't end up. winning it, you know, but there's, you. know, even as a kid for me, it was Josh. Hamilton, you know, who put on a show at. Yankee Stadium and how far he hit the.

balls. So, I think like I said, finding. a happy medium there and and maybe. involving, you know, maybe doing a. teammate version or uh like a tag team. kind of home run. >> Now, we're thinking, Cal, now we're. thinking, how exhausted are you? >> I'm good right now. I think I'm still. running on some adrenaline, so we'll see. how long it wears. It. >> might need some of that um Dominican. Republic uh chew. Yeah, I've heard about. it. Might need a little bit of that. I've heard. >> that'll kick you in the butt. Yeah. All.

right. Last question. We know you have. to go from AJ here. >> Yeah. Cal, what was it like with your. brother behind the plate? What kind of. commentary did you have? You going I. know he was saying some things to you. Was he encouraging you? Did you get to. speak back with him at all? And also, is. that miked up somewhere that we can. actually go back and watch eventually? >> It's good journalism. >> Yeah, it's it should be all miked up. I. was miked up. He was miked up. uh you. know he's he's kind of a you know. awkward teenager obviously like anybody. but so I didn't I had no expectations of. him speaking up but he was he was. pumping me up the whole time you know I.

was kind of surprised you know he was. every time I hit a good one he'd be like. let's go and just he was trying to hype. my up too yeah he was like that back. there I was that I was like I didn't. know he had that in him so he was. pumping me up and uh he had a big day. yesterday he's all jacked up he got more. followers on Instagram And he got seen a. picture with Libby Dunn. He was just I. mean he lived his best life yesterday. >> Hey, he won the home run derby. >> That's 15year-old uh. >> the guy literally living living the. dream. >> Well, congratulations to you.

Congratulations to your family. Enjoy. this entire Allstar work event for you. guys. And uh that's what we learned. You. guys don't get a lot of break. The. baseball players uh everybody else is. like Pro Bowl All-Star thing is like. kind of a break a little bit like enjoy. baseball. They're working. Yeah. >> Hey, we are full. It's an honor and we're thankful you're. representing the entire sport and thank. you for your kindness. Congrats on. winning. Ladies and gentlemen, big. dumper Ty Rollley.

>> He was really nice to us. >> He's the man. >> He is watch before he warmed up. So, they all had time in B uh to BP with. their pitcher and with their catcher and. the mechanics of moving the L shield or. something. L. >> screen. Yep. >> Yeah. Because some people are closer, some people are further, you know, because you're allowed to move that. >> I guess. I think we were told Harper and his dad. >> like on top of each other almost. >> like Yeah. >> Oh, >> like right like almost. >> like throwing soft toss to him almost. >> No, but it but I think he was slinging. it firing, right?

>> Yeah. So, all the L the L screen moves. the distance and then some guys were way. back. >> Interesting. >> Yeah, it was a bit of a game. >> You got to find You got to not wear. yourself out in more. >> The pitchers are. >> They're the game. >> They are. They are very much in too. Like when we were walking around for BP. or beforehand, it's like the pitchers. know like. >> this one's kind of on us. Like cuz if. you. >> for holding I think I could miss a kick. for a kicker if I wanted to. So if this.

is the football boom the football right. here. Fox, can you get this one? So this. is the football right here. Let's say. it's a righty kicker. I'm over here. Okay. Most tilts for a righty kicker. soccer style, you just kind of move it. down this way. Right here. Okay. takes. away the hook natural because their. foot's going to come in this way. Okay. So, like normally you lean it away from. a little bit. Right knee whenever I'm. down is where I'm leaning it. If I was. just to do that miss guarantee that's a. miss guarantee for like if it's a 25. yard kick might be able to sneak it in. But if you literally just hold it like.

this and just go bang. >> That's a guaranteed. >> 40 yard kick. No, no chance. >> No. Now granted, the kicker might see. it. Oh, this holder is crap. and like. play the [ __ ] that's about to come in. both how quick the OP is like if a. holder really it's it's a miss that home. run derby is the exact same thing. >> Oh yeah. >> Especially with the limited amount of. pitches. You throw low and outside or. something and it just tails a little bit. and it hits the but no chance of that. thing going. And then some guys are. waiting for it high and then for 15.

straight seconds we don't have a high. one and then all of a sudden you're. rushing at the end. It's like the. pitchers need more love and they need. more credit in this entire thing. >> Well, and I talked to Cal's dad after. they did uh I think their second round. of BP and he was like, you know, the. switch hitting part's tough because as a. lefty, he wants it middle middle. As a. righty, he wants it, you know, kind of. low and away. He was like, you know, you. you get locked in on a spot and then he. switches sides and it's like, okay, now. I got to drill this spot. Like that's a. lot of pressure in the middle of the. derby. That's a lot of pressure in the.

middle of the derby. It's like, all. right, he's flipping over the right. side. Not only does he have to warm up. this side of the bat again. Dad has to. also got behind it. >> All right, we got to We're going this. way. Yeah, it was that was a spectacular. event. >> Yeah, without a doubt. >> I didn't I didn't watch the TV portion. A lot of people say, "Hey, we need. this." The rules, too. I think the 10. feels like everybody knows it. >> Yeah, they need to do three point. competition rules. >> All right, we'll be back in the next. hour. We got Dana White, AJ Hawk, a. massive conversation. Be a friend. Tell. a friend something nice. Might change. your life. Why don't you let me beat your ass right.

The Thunderdome on. this MLB Allstar Tuesday July 15th 20125.

hour two of the program begins now. Sports are happening and we are so. incredibly lucky to talk about them. every single day. We just had a moment. happen right there that I haven't got to. experience a lot of. And uh I'll tell. you what, it really made my soul kind of. flutter a little bit. >> Sure. >> It's not just because I get a chance to. chitchat with the toxic table at boss of. Conor and at Tai Schmidt. You boys look. fantastic. Shout out to baseball. >> Shout out. >> It's not just because nine-year NFL v uh. vet D.

>> You want to take it from the top? You. hit a putt long night. You hit that new. putter. >> You want to take it? I was going to try to tie in the. collusion cases going on in the NFL and. that was just a little bit of an. aggressive take. I don't think I should. have been doing that. There's a lot. happening in the NFL and the NFL PA. Nine-year NFL vet. Darius J. Butler is. here. Great to see you again. >> Great to see you. >> Uh last night was fun. >> It was Do you guys have any uh little. Jack and Diets out there? >> Right. >> We had a few years, >> dude. Uh sorry. Can I can I talk about. that for a second? Actually,

>> it was delightful. Yes. Yeah, sure. the. the suite we were in, folks. You can. attest to this. >> This is wild. >> I we actually didn't have. >> Just first of all, I just want to let. you know you saying the suite we were in. and then going on to say whatever you're. about to say right now is tough for me. to have any empathy for. >> Well, once once again, I was in the. broadcast. >> I was broadcasting as well. >> Me, me, Gum. >> Gum had his headset on. >> Yeah, the sweet was nice. >> Called the first five pitches. >> I was I was sweet. >> Suite was great as well. Very nice. Everyone in there was really cool. uh.

for the 20 minutes we were, you know, stopped in there. The bartender there, we asked I asked for a Jack and diet or. they didn't have Jack, so it was a. whiskey diet and Foxy had a uh. >> should have walked out. >> I thought about it. There's a reason I. didn't stay. >> The reason I went to that broadcast. booth, but uh just just a regular Hey, I. just want I just want a whiskey diet, okay? I don't need I don't need any. bells and whistles. This lady who is a. bartender, very nice, great vibes. I. feel great about my order in the fact.

that she's making it and she starts to. make it. One shot. >> What? >> Two shots. >> What? >> Three shots. >> What? >> Little splash of coke. >> Oh my gosh. She thought you were tired. >> On a on a Monday night. I was like, "Thank you." I take one sip of the thing. and then just watch the ice melt because. I can't drink it. It was a nightmare. >> What are you talking about? >> You ordered a Tai Schmid? I I but that. thing I didn't I didn't say. >> I didn't order a T. >> Can I get a Jack with a little Coke?

That that's the Tai. >> Oh, sorry. The lady tried to hook you up. on a little bit more whiskey. >> But and I appreciate it very much. >> You have to be very direct whenever. you're ordering this because a lot of. people what I've learned and once again. there's people uh that would like me. dead so maybe they would just put stuff. in my drink to kill me. But there are a. lot of people that serve food and booze. that happen to be fans of our particular. program and they all think that they're. hooking me up. >> Sure. So they all, oh yeah, >> oh yeah, you want one, you know. And it's like, no, I don't. I.

really like the taste of Jack and. dieting, you know. I don't I don't mind. it. So I get a uh tall glass single. shot. So then it's kind of just like a. You got to explain that. I think I think. that's on you. >> See, see, I It's funny you said because. it came up. Why didn't you just say, "Can I get a single?" I feel as though. in in situations where maybe a fan of. the program is pouring you a drink, you. can kind of read that situation and let. them know this was not a fan of the. program. And I also feel. >> this lady hated my gun. >> I I was so nice. That's what made it.

hard. >> I also feel like you typically if you're. just asking a bartender, you don't have. to tell them, "Hey, less booze.". >> No, you do. >> No. >> Yeah, you do. They're that they're. doing. They all think they're helping. you out. >> Absolutely. 100% of anyone I've ever. come across will say, "Thank you so. much." If you put three shots in a one, >> now granted, John Taffer, Bar Rescue. will say that that bartender is going. into business for themselves cuz they're. giving you a little extra booze. So, you. give them a little extra tip. And who's. getting screwed? We. >> That's why we need this POS system and.

they put the bottles on there and do the. whole thing. Yeah. So, that's a big part. of Bar Rescue. With that being said, shout out to all the bartenders. >> that have certainly given me a little. bit extra whenever I've only ordered. maybe one shot. Maybe we get. >> shot and a half, two and a half shots. Sure, >> that'd be fine. Once again, gentlemen. Okay, I'm getting I'm getting six shots. in a in a in a little jacket diet that I. just wanted to sip on. >> This lady down in Atlanta is trying to. take care of you, boy. >> I agree. >> Hey, you don't even understand. >> Is she the donut hole? >> Foxy. Do you get the same situation?

>> Yeah, I got Tito soda, three shots of. vodka in that thing. >> Yeah, but that's a Foxy. >> It was like a trailer park boys gift. where the guy takes a sip and just boom, pull boom boom falls over the stairs. >> It was brutal. >> Plus, she was so nice. Guess I didn't. have anything to say. >> Boohoo for these guys. >> Any other day. for these guys. >> It was Monday. Any other day I would It. was a home run derby. It was a home run. derby night. It was so hot out. >> That is the other thing. >> Now, to be clear, Ty actually ordered me.

my Jack and Diets last night. And uh. when they showed up, they were a little. saucy. And I also walked I also walked. over to the table that they were sitting. on. Tie. [ __ ] full hand in drink stirring. >> It was two fingers. >> Yeah, right. You It was in there. This. thing was stirring and then he goes, "Here you go." And he gives me the other. one or whatever. So, I only I mean, there was seemingly a little swirl to my. drink. >> There certainly was not. I would never. do that.

>> That was awesome. Did you just finger. the [ __ ] out of my drink? No, I'm mixing. a little wine into his. Not into mine. It was very kind, but it was a Tai. Schmidjack and Diet. and we go out onto. the field with this and uh didn't even. think we should not do that. >> Well, that's what I got out there and I. was like, man, there are a lot of kids. around here. And guess what? None of the. players are drinking. >> Nobody. We're the only ones. So, we. that's why we ended up going all the. way. I mean, we started like getting. away from party. We. >> We appreciate the hospitality. I love. Derby. >> I love Derby as well. And I also love.

that the bartender lady in the sweets. like these bottles are only good for one. night. Yeah. >> So, you're going to have to drink them. which was the. >> a man who uh thought that the bartender. was just trying to help you out and the. reason why we are so excited about. today. A man who said sports on time. Ladies and gentlemen, college football. national champion, Super Bowl champion, Rder Cup winner, AJ Hawk. >> Yeah, baby. >> Go Red Lights. >> Thank you. The bartender, I would say. >> If you don't want, you can hand it to. somebody that wants a nice. >> get a cup of diet. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You guys are right. I'm the I'm the. [ __ ] Okay.

You guys You guys are right. I don't. think you get much sympathy. Screw it. up. I I asked for I asked for a little. drink. >> They gave me a mask. I should have You. know what? I'm never going to order a. drink again. How about that? >> Oh my. >> What if you asked somebody for a. cigarette and they gave you a whole. pack? Are you going to be pissed? >> That's a completely different situ. once. >> Can we talk a little bit about drama. that's happening in uh sports world? Not. just in your ordering world. And by the.

way, I don't think you're that. Nobody. in the. >> I didn't also sorry I didn't mean to say. that per se. I. >> slipped through. Yeah. >> I didn't mean you know I don't use that. word. Okay. I apologize. >> Yeah. He really Yeah. really went for it. there. I don't think that's what you. are. Teddy Bridgewwater situation is. really interesting. >> Very much so. >> Okay. Now there's different numbers. coming out. Um like the amount of money. that he spent on his players. rehabilitation. uh Uber food transportation things like. that. So that is the narrative that is. from the Teddy Bridgewwater camp uh.

because he's been suspended for a year. from uh a league I guess that he no. longer coaches. His statement is like I. don't you can't be suspended for. something I'm not coach cuz he's now. back with the Lions or whatever. He wins. state championship as a high school. state coach. >> Dominant watching his team every week. We enjoyed the ride watching Teddy B. lead his squad down there in South. Florida uh to win a state championship. So now he gets suspended and I assume we. all think that the suspension looming. was the reason why he left and went to.

the Detroit Lions maybe or who knows. what was going to happen. Nonetheless, interesting thing to do to a coach in. the modern world that we're in, especially with the way the NIL is like. I assume the other people are saying he. wasn't paying for Ubers, he was buying. cars and all this stuff. It's like who. car like is that against the rule? I. don't know if that's against the rules. I I don't fully comprehend why this. would happen. This feels like one of. those NCAA things back in the day, not. now. NCAA, you guys have changed and you. guys care about things that matter. >> That's right.

>> And you guys invest resources and things. that are going to make the lives of. student human athletes better and. everything like that. But back in the. day, the NCAA just used to investigate. the most dumb things. It's like why are. you why there's this going on. Why would. you do that? This doesn't make any. sense. From what I've read about this. situation, this feels very stupid and. this feels like they were trying to get. T Bridgewater the hell out of the. league. I hate it, man. Uh him, >> you're a South Florida guy. >> Yeah, South Florida guy. He's obviously. a South Florida guy. Miami guy. Went. back to his alma mo Miami Northwestern. after I think they went like four and.

six maybe the previous year before he. took over. Then he goes on and wins like. a 6A state championship in Florida, which is a huge deal. And Teddy uh you. know Foxy knows this. Anybody that knows. this that he's any program he's been a. part of, he's always been a standup guy, class act. I believe he even. self-reported some of this stuff. So, um, this and the things you you look at. the list, Uber rides, you know, rehab, all this, you know, feeding kids, >> field paint, paint for the field so they. can have lines on the field. >> This is [ __ ] that we all would hope a. coach or somebody in the position to be.

able to bless others, uh, would do. So, for him to be punished like this is. absolutely ridiculous, man. The impact. that I know he's had on his community, not only being a player, but, you know, well beyond his years on the field, even. though he's still playing, put pouring. into those young men, man. Hats off to. Teddy, man. I hope this all gets sorted. out and he's back on the sideline coach. because this is what young kids needed. This is what I needed. I needed a Teddy. Bridgewater or a guy like that or a. young lady like that, you know, in your. life looking after young kids. So, I. hope this gets figured out, but it. sounds very very dumb.

>> I I don't In the world we're in right. now. I don't know how this is even still. I I I don't get it. I We have kids on. our show. We're very lucky. >> Yeah. >> We have kids commit to colleges and they. got like Door Dash. >> Yeah. >> Right here. Raising Canes Raising Canes. >> Right here. They got all these things. is like so they're allowed to get deals. from. >> it must I would assume that their. explanation when they suspend them is. that other teams can't do this other. teams coaches maybe not have the money. to do that but why is that's you.

shouldn't punish Teddy for that. >> yeah what if it was a parent. >> this all feels so stupid to me that that. this just feels dumb and I think. everybody is on the same side. >> I think everybody thinks this feels dumb. feels like an agenda doesn't it feels. like one of those agenda but als Also, I. assume there's somebody down there who's. like president, you know, and. >> are they saying he's recruiting players. there illegally? That's the only thing. you can do in high school if they claim. you're bringing people in and like. saying, "Hey, he lives in G.". >> Oh, once again, is that not allowed. anymore? I I think. >> at this stage of life now. Yeah, that's. what I'm saying with how everything is.

wide open with NI like literally NIL. just kind of. >> opens up the door for everything. Got a. lot of millionaires 16 17. >> Yeah. I mean, even when we had Derek. Queen on, like Derek Queen, the center. from Maryland during March Madness, he. did his entire, you know, postgame press. conference and when he talked about the. coach, he's like, "Well, the coaches. like the money I'm getting is coming out. of his pocket." So, >> yeah, that's that's college or saying. the high school diner in Miami, whatever. the case. Teddy B, we appreciate you. looking out for your players, man. >> It's actually getting better. That feels.

like a waste of energy. >> That's what it is. I mean, you hit the. nail on the head. I I would guess that. it's the other coaches who are like, "Hey, this guy came in. this team was. four and six before he got here and then. he runs rough shot and wins a state. championship. Like this is [ __ ] We. got to get this guy out of here. >> I uh also know the NFL has a situation. looming right now and it's summer, you. know, so this is certainly a thing. We've alluded to it a couple times. The. only reason why we haven't dove into it. yet, first of all, we were awful last. week. >> when this thing was all kind of. happening, but also trying to call and. get actual information about this has.

been very difficult. I would say that. from my own point of view. I know a lot. of people. on both sides of this. >> Nobody's saying anything about anything. Basically, I think there's people that. aren't in necessarily the home office in. the NFL PA that are like we're not we. don't we don't know. And also I don't. think we're allowed to even act like we. like there's a lot I think there's. something very big happening with the. NFL in the NFLPA with collusion where. the executive director of the NFL PA.

potentially in the consulting firm the. like there is a lot going on here but I. think whenever old buddy here was hired. to become the head of the NFL PA there. was some sort of legal thing happening. yes. >> somewhere else as well. So, it feels. like that does happen with this. particular gentleman a couple different. times, but the NFL PA people whenever. they voted him in L were like, um, he's. great for us, like he's good for us. And. it felt like there was a very positive. reaction to how he was leading and I. think a lot of people liked him. So then.

I think a lot of people potentially. blindsided by this potentially being a. thing. So I think there's a lot more. questions right now than there are. answers and I think there's an actual. investigation happening potentially into. it all. I don't know if that's by their. own parties, if that's by an outside. source, who's doing the invest, but I. just know that there is uh this is a. real thing that's happening and I have. no clue what it is cuz I've not been. able to get to the bottom of it. I think. there's a lot of headlines, there's a. lot of things being talked about, but I. don't know the actuality of what's going. on, which is why we have not addressed. it. To be clear, I am somebody who has. not been easy on the NFL PA, and I don't.

think I've been easy on the NFL. I think. I view myself as a business person, even. though people, you know, see me as a big. dumb doofus. I and the NFL PA have had a. lot of disagreements on how money is. being managed, what deals are being. signed, how much licensing percentages. are going, where how they treat the. players, how they act players, how where. money is going, how many people are. employed by the NFLPA. How how many. people need so many questions about the. NFLPA. I am I actually didn't even sign. up for the NFL PA, I think, like the. last two years of my career because I. didn't want to sit in the meetings cuz. anytime I'm in the meeting, it's just. like that's [ __ ] Like you just said.

there, that's [ __ ] And it's at the. end of a long day. I don't need to hold. up everybody's day. Okay. So that is. that is literally my relationship with. the NFL PA. It's not a good one. Never. has been a good one. And on the other. side, the NFL, it's like we have to be. able to negotiate a better deal with the. NFL. And why is everything an absolute. war? It's like, well, because that's how. Demory Smith was. Now this guy, I don't. think was the exact same way. So. hopefully for the betterment of ball, this isn't a bunch of real [ __ ] because. anytime you get turmoil like this, then. you get disagreements. Then you get. business, bad business, and that's bad. for all of us. I think uh each side.

needs to know that they need each other. and they need to work together. But if. there's collusion and fraud, like all. these things that are getting thrown out. there, like that's not good for. relationship between NFL and NFL. >> Well, and that's what's weird like when. you say like how when he first got the. job like they they were excited about it. and like hey this is going to be a good. situation like all that previous stuff. like of you know that whether they're. allegations or like it was actually. happening. The PA was aware of that. It's not like this stuff all came out. after he got the job. So, I mean, you. know, I I suppose maybe you knew that.

that something could happen, but yeah, this this whole situation is is crazy. >> Who started the investigation? Like, who. said, "Hey, we're going to investigate. the PA and who or did they are they. saying we're hiring a third party so we. look we get in front of this?" Like, what is it? >> I talked to multiple people yesterday. and I've never had this reaction from. anybody like they don't know. >> They were like, "We we're not we're we. don't know." And also we were not. allowed to really. >> in a dark. orders or whatever. >> It's like a very Yeah, it feels like. they all think it could be.

>> but they also think it could not like. >> could just be nothing. >> Feels like everybody's out of the loop. >> Yeah. The main the biggest issue for me. as a former player and even if I was a. player if there was some type of. backdoor agreement that the players. weren't aware of or even like the the. player reps weren't necessarily rep that. would be a big issue. the quote unquote. collusion between the owners. I don't. think that would take anybody by. surprise after the the Watson deal came. out. Like, yeah, they probably had. conversation. This is what they do, the. one per club meeting. That would. surprise anybody involved with football,

watches football, know anything about. the National Football League, but the. two sides maybe in secret doing some. [ __ ] shady. That would be an issue. Now, I don't know the ins and outs of what. this what's going on here. Um, but I'm. sure at some point somebody will get to. the bottom of it. We'll have uh some. more [ __ ] to talk about. >> Tagly was before. >> I guess he had a great relationship with. the NFL PA, right? >> I think. >> there was a guy who was Jean Upshaw was. running the NFL PA, right? >> Yeah. I think they had like a very good.

relationship like such a good. relationship that I think there was like. people thought this was the case, but it. was like I think they got along pretty. well. My understanding cuz I was always. like why do we hate the NFL? Like why. are we walking in negotiations just like. >> like that's not. >> let's do this. >> How do we In my eyes, they need us, we. need them. >> Exactly. >> In my eyes, that has not been the. easiest way to do business. Now, don't. be scared to put this up if you have to. But I don't think the entry conversation. should be, >> we're Hey, we're ready to [ __ ] kill. you. Like, I I don't think that should. be the first combo. I I think if we if.

we get to the end, you can do it. So, I. always ask those questions. They said, "Well, the union and the NFL used to. have a good relationship, and then there. was a bunch of people that thought maybe. it was too good a relationship, and then. you go the other then the lockout. happens, and it's like. >> it doesn't have to be. They don't have. to have a bad relationship either. I. don't think so. Look at the NHL. >> Yeah, look at the other CBAs. Exactly. The NHL, the NBA. Like, they're getting. those done years in advance. You would. assume that's because their relationship. is really. >> What's going on the um. >> I talked to Mr. Boris. >> Yeah, >> Scott Boris yesterday. >> He runs. He runs.

>> The MLB has pretty good setup for their. players. >> Feels like. >> Feels like it's pretty good setup for. the players, >> especially if you're rep by him. >> What are. >> He looked awesome. >> Yeah. Oh, man. >> He's been running the show forever. for. a long long time. >> Slicked back hair. >> Clean. >> Yeah. >> No, not a single. >> button-d down shirt. Okay. Top couple. loose. Tucked in the jeans, tailored to. his legs. >> Jeans tailored to his legs. Sick Colehan. looking shoes. >> Mhm. >> And then he just looks so cool. Then he.

turned around. I shook his hand. I. congratulated on cornering a market like. an entire league. Like that's not. something that just happens. Your name. is synonymous with great deals for. players. Congratulations. And then boom, we got right into a 10 to 15 minute. conversation about MLB players, uh, collective bargaining, the deals, negotiations, where baseball was, where. baseball is, everything. You're just. talking about an onslaught of. information coming out of this guy's. head. I'm like, geez, why don't you come. over to the NFL? Uh, why don't you come. over uh to the players or whatever.

because he has ideas obviously for all. these other leagues, you know? I would. assume that he is prognosticated on what. the other leagues need to do because. he's kind of done what he's done for the. players in the majors. It was a crazy. combo. It was like very enlightening. He. was like, "Holy [ __ ] this guy just gave. me a lot of game right now." We were. >> I don't want to say we were boozed up, but we had a couple Tai Schmidts uh down. at that point. Certainly. And we were. standing in like a circle in the club. area and he just broke down the entire. business to me and Ty were like, "Holy. [ __ ] thank you for that, man. Can't. wait to me and Ty walked away." He was. like, >> "That guy just broke down the entire. [ __ ] MLB to us or whatever." And it.

was just like literally cheersed our. drinks like, "All right, we'll get the. hell out of here.". >> I don't know if I could change anything, brother, but I appreciate it. It was uh. they got a good setup. the NFL PA and. the NFL. I never I don't know. >> You basically talked to both sides for. baseball. You talked to. >> the uh Kamish, you talked to Scott. So, what's the chance you think a salary cap. actually happens in MLB? >> I think there's no chance. >> I I I think there is that's going to be. a tough one. Toothpaste is already out. of the tooth. >> Yeah. Bingo. >> Just kind of go. This is just like NIL. >> Like I don't know how they're going to.

stop this. I don't know how they stop. the freight train. I have no idea how. you do it. because anytime you stop. money from going to somebody or a group. of people, there's going to be a lot. that's just gonna happen, especially. whenever it's a lot of money. So, it's. like I I think it's gonna be tough to. put salary cap onto it. Now, granted, it. sounds like. >> for the good of baseball and the system. of baseball and all that [ __ ] there's. going to be a big push for it. And I. would assume for the state of baseball, there's probably a lot of need for it. I. would I would assume, but it's going to. be tough to get everybody to in on that. Like, I don't think you're going to get. it. >> They literally canceled a season of. hockey over that issue. it was the.

salary cap was the main concern and they. lost an entire season to it. So that's. the kind of damage you're talking about. like if like the commissioner and owners. really want to try and force it through. and they're all on the same page on it. and I don't know that they are but if. they are that's the kind of outcome you. could. >> and the owners can sway the public. opinion that the owners always win the. public opinion cuz the owners are going. to be there long after these players. >> Yep. >> These spo spoiled millionaires are just. here for a couple couple years. >> We're going to be here for the city. forever. You know, these guys are lucky. to wear our uniform, represent our city.

We're a pillar of the community. This is. what they're This is what we're giving. them. >> Think about if this was you. >> This what Think about walking into your. house telling your family, "This is what. you're being off. This is what these. spoiled athletes are being." That's what. they do around every CBA negotiation. They get those things out through. journalists on TV who have their source. says coming from one side of the. negotiation and be like my sources are. telling me that the uh NFL is offering.

up all the good things of the deal. Bang. the bang bang bang the bang bang. >> Yep. >> And then the players have never. >> the players have never. >> come out. No, >> players don't have that like built in. years and years of legacy media to push. your narrative through the media because. players come and go so much. The PA is. around. Yeah, but players don't have. that relationship with the the insiders. that maybe, hey, here's a nice little. pup. This is this is the great things we. are doing. They don't have to tell them, hey, make the players look terrible, make us look good. It just naturally. happens. >> Yeah. Exactly. And I think it's also.

maybe the players don't think that that. is a focus. They need players of all. leagues need to understand that that is. a very important role. The outside. pressure is literally what makes deals. happen in this particular situ. So it's. like uh. >> people don't a lot of people don't know. the difference between a strike and a. lockout too. Like we got locked out in. the NFL. People, oh you got a strike. It's not us, bud. They locking brother. >> They lock the doors and say you can't. come in. I think some people don't even. understand the difference in that. >> I was not allowed to talk to people that. worked for the Colts during the entire. time. We were not even allowed to text.

each other. >> We had to get Oh, okay. So that came. out. We won the Super Bowl when I was in. Green Bay and then we got locked out in. March. We had to get like a special. exemption to have our ring ceremony. So, we all flew back in June to Green Bay, got our Super Bowl rings, and then had. to leave. >> You were allowed to talk to each other. >> Yeah, technically you're I think they. may have even said something like, "Oh, you can't be talking ball." Like, "Oh, yeah. We were trying to talk ball. Come. here and get our Super Bowl rings." Not. just. >> drink 15 drinks and and get our rings. and be excited and celebrate together. But we Yeah. There was like a special. thing for us just to get together and do. that. >> Yeah. No talking to each other. Okay.

We're not friends in this entire thing. Also, no insurance from us. You guys. gonna have to figure that your out. yourself. >> Get some Cobra. >> Get Cobra. >> Cobra. >> Yeah. You bear start saving this thing. to be a long time. >> Do you guys have more money or do we. have more money? We'll see. >> We'll see how that goes. And that was. the NFL's entire plan was like these. guys will run out of money. They'll have. to get a deal. That was literally their. strategy. It was like these guys going. to run dry. >> They're going to start complaining. >> and when they do that, then we get a. deal done. And it's like as players, you're never going to be able to keep up.

with them if that's the case. Which is. why I don't think you should try to get. into a pissing match. No. >> With billionaires. I think you should. try. >> The only power you have as a player is. to sit out, is to strike. That's like. the main the threat of missing games to. the owners. That that's the And players. don't want to miss. Your career is too. short. I don't want to miss a game. I. don't want to miss five games. >> I mean, now too, like the career is too. short isn't even a thought because NIL. like the the second round pick debacle. That's. >> interesting. 30 of 32 second round picks. have not signed. And the reason why it's. a big story is because Chargers uh. >> Yep. Chargers. Chargers reported because.

they're in the Hall of Fame game and. their second rounder did not report. So. now this is like the first time where. they can actually say, "Hey, we have. some news. Second rounder hasn't. reported." Now I believe what happened. with the second rounders now cuz we. assume. >> these draft picks are slotted in what. money you're going to make. That's why. the Shamar Stewart thing with Cincinnati. is so interesting out of nowhere because. we thought we had this figured out with. the CBA. And whenever we think about the. second rounders, when I first hear about. this, I'm like, "Hey, second rounders, the NFL does not care if you sign." Like. that's my first natural reaction. These.

teams do not care if you sign that this. league will have its season next year. with or without a second round class. >> But I do appreciate the fact that second. rounders are seeing some other teams do. some things and they're going, "Wait a. minute. If that's available, we'd like. to do that too, looking out for their. clients." But I think inevitably the. teams hold all the cards here. But I. didn't know that we had so much wiggle. room in the CBA with the draft picks. Did you know those? >> I did not know that. >> I thought it was all p. That's why the. Schmar Stewart thing I was like what are. we doing dude and then you start. learning it's like well they try to drop. something new in there I was like I.

didn't know you were allowed to drop. something new I thought this was signed. sealed deliver with new CBA seems like. there's certainly options for teams at. least. >> definitely something I was a second. round pick many moons ago and it was. actually another second round pick same. team uh Ron Brace got rest so he went 40. I went 41 and just it was like all right. what did the guy get before the year. before we're going to fall right back in. that slot and it was certain little. languages like you. maybe having some money deferred until. the next season or different things like. that, but not huge huge issues. 30 of 32.

guys that doesn't happen by coincidence. I think it's something, you know, who. are the two guys that we know? >> So, the first pick of the second round, the Browns linebacker Swashinger, right? And then I think the real problem is the. Texans gave Higgins, Jaden Higgins, a. fully guaranteed contract. And if I. remember, he was in the 40s or 50s and. he got fully guaranteed. So I I mean, I. assume if you're the 33rd pick and you. get the fully guaranteed deal, that's. one thing, but if if you're in the 40s. to 50s range, which again, I'm not 100%.

sure when Higgins got picked, but if. you're in that range, I assume that. becomes a problem. >> Well, good luck to everybody signing. their deals. It's all drama. It's. summer. Yep. >> Football is going to happen. >> Yes, it is. >> High school football is three weeks away. in Georgia. >> That's what I learned. >> Exactly. cuz this kid's like in season. shape and he's like, "What's schedule. like now for you? We got workouts or. whatever." He's like, "I got camp coming. up." I'm like, "Camp?". >> He's like, "Three weeks we got a game.". I'm like, "Football season 3 weeks.". Excuse me, high school kid. You just. reminded me football season is three.

weeks away. He's like, "Yeah, we got a. game three weeks or whatever." I'm like, >> "Tyler, great news." He's like, "Yeah, I'm excited." I'm like, "Me, too. Football season is right around the. corner, but until then, we got. bullshit.". >> Yeah. Even the Hall of Fame game is in. July. That on that note, >> we will be live. from Canton, Ohio at the Hall of Fame. day of this Chargers Lions game, uh, July 31st. And we can't thank the Hall.

of Fame enough for the hospitality. They're putting us, I believe, right on. the front steps. >> Oh, sweet. So, I think we're going to be. right on the front steps uh celebrating. the launch of a new season, celebrating. a new class of Hall of Famers and. celebrating the greatness that the game. has displayed for over a hundred years. over there in beautiful Canton, Ohio. AJ. Hawk, we're going over to Ohio doing a. show. >> Yeah, I've been to Canton a few times. for different like lacrosse and old. soccer tournaments for my kids. It'll be. fun to to be there. It's I tell you. what, around that area, you know, around. the stadium is pretty sweet. >> Okay. So, I've never been to the Hall of.

Fame. I've never gone through the Hall. of Fame. I think obviously we're going. to get to do that. I think we're gonna. watch the game. I think we're gonna do. the show. I think we're gonna talk to. some Hall of Famers. I uh and we're. going to kick off a new season of the. NFL. Cannot wait to be over there. Come. see us. I think you're going to be able. to come see us. >> Nice. >> I think they're having it. Uh. >> that's cool. >> I think it's going to be pretty open. area set up there for the entire thing. Come see us. Chargers Lions Foxy kicking. it all off. MCDC vers Horrible. >> I'm fired up. I just can't wait to see. MCDC in the flesh. Just how big, muscular, and ready to go he's going to.

be. After watching that quarterback. series, I've never been more pumped up. to have a great head coach and to have a. great quarterback. This is all that. matters. I'm fired up. >> Let's head over to Hammer. Don Don AP. Tone. How's it going, pal? >> What's up, brother? How is it going? It's been a great show so far. >> Hey, thank you. How about uh Tyler going. to Texas? How about uh Big Dumper. hitting big bombs? Him saying the 10. will be good. What are you guys gambling. on right now uh at Hammer Don? Are we.

looking ahead? Are we doing futures bets. at this point or what are you kind of. thinking about whenever we're eyeing. sports books? >> We are 100% looking ahead. This is the. uh driest slowest week of sports in the. entire calendar year. Um cuz Wimbledon. just ended. We are coming up on the US. Open for golf. So we'll be we'll be. gambling on that. But as far as like the. major sports, the major US sports are. concerned. This is the slowest week. because obviously the baseball all-star. game is is happening tonight. But after. that, you know, NBA is done, NHL is. done. We're looking forward to college.

football and NFL. Um, so that's kind of. what we're looking at. The US Open is. kind of the big gambling opportunity. this week. >> Yeah, tomorrow the only thing on is the. W. Uh, all other four. >> the all other four major sports. Usually. there's two sports, maybe three sports. uh on the only thing tomorrow is the. >> big. clear the dance floor they can watch. >> Are they treating this as if it is like. the NBA on Christmas? I. >> I think they should be. I don't. >> But it used to be. Now they need to. move. NBA needs to move Christmas Eve. Yeah, correct. >> That is a decision that needs to happen. Adam Silver, I uh I don't know if you.

still watch program or if this clip will. make it to you. >> Sorry, it happened. The Grinch stole. Christmas and the Grinch is Gadell. You. need to move to Christmas Eve. >> Yeah, >> cuz we're all at home. >> on Christmas Eve and we're thinking to. ourselves, we got four NBA games. tomorrow. We got three NFL games. tomorrow. And right now, what do we got? [ __ ] Can we just pull Let's do. Christmas Eve. >> Yeah. need a Lakers game on at 10 PM. Eastern. >> Who's gonna be playing for the Lakers? >> I don't know. From the sounds of it,

maybe not LeBron. >> Whoa. Have we gotten to the bottom of. that at all? >> Well, what what was it right after we we. had the discussion last week or, you. know, before we were on break and then. now all of a sudden they're saying, "Hey, multiple teams have reached out. They four teams.". >> Yeah. They want to trade for LeBron. >> I did send a text if the Pacers are one. of the teams. >> I didn't see that. That'd. >> be stupid. Yes. The first one to call, I. assume. >> So, what I was told was no. >> Oh, okay. Why not? Why wouldn't they go after him? >> You tell me. That's what my question. was. >> Is he going to play for the Lakers.

though for real? Like is it possible not. with the Lakers? Thousand%. >> with how the NBA I wouldn't be shocked. if he's not there. >> UD said that he thought uh Yiannis was. in Milwaukee too. He'll stay there. >> Yeah, I could I could see that too. Yeah, >> LeBron was talking to Speed. >> Speed stream. >> Yeah, Speed just beat RG3 in a race in. Estonia. I don't know if you saw Speed. I don't know if we need to be. >> I was going to say the only one that. beat RG3. >> RG3 had the internet is uh. >> named speed internet's an interesting. place should not be racing speed should.

we need uh maybe scoot Scotty Miller. >> go. race speed. >> scoot be good. >> huh. >> still bringing it. >> scoot. >> yes what made you say Scotty Miller. >> uh in my head thought quickly of a. caucasian Flash and Scoot. Scoot Scott. Miller was the first name that popped in. my mind. Do you have any. >> Do you have any. >> I bet amola can still run. >> See, now you're just making them all.

I appreciate you. And also Speed got. >> speed. We need the halftime show kid from Iowa. >> Well, that track guy. >> Yeah, I forget his name, but he ran. >> What about the dude that runs the the. warning track that races everybody? Freeze on speed. He got smoke. >> Yeah, he got his ass beat the other. night. >> by speed. >> Somebody. >> young lady ran track in high school. She's a cop in Georgia, I believe. >> She was She dusted Freeze. >> So, Freeze got to retire now. Okay. Put.

somebody else in a costume. >> Is it over? >> I don't know. He I was going to say he. he's not the same Freeze he was a couple. years ago. >> How about Blooper? We got a chance to. see Blooper do his thing. That's the. Atlanta Braves. >> Yeah. I've never seen anyone ditch a. gimmick that fast in my entire life. Ditch a gimmick. What? What do you mean? >> I I personally am a I'm a mascot guy, okay? I I respect them. I honor them. >> I mean, the guy walks over and says, "Hey, what's up, man? I'm a blooper.". Like, he's not supposed to speak, right?

>> Why the hell are you? Hey, hey, Blooper, shut up. Okay, mascots don't talk, dude. Why are you saying stuff to me? So, immediately I'm like, okay, well, this. isn't a real mascot. This guy doesn't. know [ __ ] about the game. He's not. committed. You don't think he respects. the game because he wanted to come over. and say hello? >> Immediately my thought is this kid. shouldn't be talking to. >> kid. He's an adult. You're right. >> This guy cut his teeth. He did. >> This guy cut his teeth in Japan. >> Yeah. Well, >> he's an adult. >> He speaks Japanese to the Japanese. players cuz he cut his teeth as a mascot.

in Japan. >> He shouldn't be speaking at all. >> Yeah, exactly. Oh, to you, too, brother. I'm just saying, man. Hey, shut up. Your. job isn't to talk. I loved his. personality. I loved his moxy. He and I. got a chance to make a video for the. Oregon Duck cuz the Oregon duck came in. here and made a shot and we did it. I didn't remember doing that obviously. Uh but it was uh explained to me by. blooper the video we were going to make. >> Obviously he talked to all in the video.

>> No silent. >> Yeah, he didn't talk on camera, right? >> He He's He doesn't talk as a mascot. If. he sees guys that he likes or knows, I. think he will come up and say hello. >> He talked to me a little bit as a. mascot. Hey, I'm Blooper. Nice to meet. you. >> No, he didn't. >> He didn't do that. That's why. And you. know why? You know he didn't do it. Cuz. if he did do it, then you would think, "Oh, it's a good mascot." But he didn't. do that. He said like, "Hey, what's up, man? My name's Jeff" or whatever. Listen, that's exactly what he did. And.

I was like, "Dude, come on, man." Like, then come over, do the whole like, >> "Hi." and then say, >> "So when you go to the mall Christmas. time?". >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. I do that. >> Turns out it's not. >> Yeah. What's that? >> Santa. >> He works for Santa. >> Yeah, he works for Santa. He's a not a. real Santa. When you're sitting on his. >> You know what? That guy has a different. job for 11 and 1/2 months out of the. year and it's not Santa. Blooper. Hey. buddy, you're full-time Blooper. Shut. up. Do the blooper thing. And then.

Blooper's probably an attorney or. something during the day. Blooper. >> That is kind of concerning that he's. speaking to you in that. >> Well, he's got to say hello to fire. >> He went in the water after Olsson got. knocked out of the home run. He's. definitely getting fired after the first. initial contact. It's like, let me see. your stuff, kid. Let me see what he does. as a mascot. >> He He does have the hip. >> He does. >> Yeah. >> What do you mean? >> I wouldn't know because he just came. over and immediately was a human and I. was like, "No, dude. You're a mascot and.

then you're a human. So you should first. and foremost play your role and then. after when I'm like, "Hey man, you're. really good at this [ __ ] Where'd you. learn how to be a mascot?" Then you tell. me your [ __ ] He just right off the bat. like, "Hey, you guys know my buddy Blue, right?" I know. No, dude. I don't know. your buddy Blue. I know the guy inside. Blue, but I don't want to talk about. that guy cuz that's not who I know. I. know Blue. The guy on the outside. >> Yeah, Blue is a weapon. And And Blue, if. you're listening, feels like the mascot. community's got a lot of respect for. you. We heard that. Mhm. We heard that.

>> Yeah, exactly. Get your camp in order, Blue. Need need these guys to go back to. basics. It sounds like the fundamentals. of mascotting are kind of losing its. fast ball. >> I don't think that's I think mascoting. is getting better. This guy cut his. teeth in Japan. >> That's no nonsense. >> Well, he should have led with that. He. should have led with the. >> He did. He kind of did. >> He didn't leave with that. He didn't. leave that with me. He's just like, "Hey, you guys know blue in the duck, right?" Like, yeah, dude. Why again? What are you doing, man? Like what what if he wouldn't what if he.

would have done this whole shick the. whole time and never talked to you like. a human then he would just been killing. them all this old grown man no see. opposite then I'm walking away like hey. just so you guys know the greatest. mascot lives in Atlanta and his name is. Blooper but instead. >> okay. >> there's a guy in a costume. >> all right let's talk about a guy who. just got paid congratulations to Garrett. Wilson. >> big time deal obviously Justin Fields is. now his quarterback He remains with the. New York Jets where there's massive.

turnover. New coach Aaron Glenn, formerly defensive coordinator of the. Detroit Lions, who is an absolute d. wants his team to resemble that. Garrett. Wilson, by all accounts, is that as. well, a superstar, four-year, $130. million deal. Obviously, the Johnson's. had to be on board with this. Aaron. Glenn had to be on board with this. And. uh the entire franchise had to say, "Yeah, we would like to keep five in our. building as our superstar." AJ, your. thoughts on Garrett Wilson getting a. deal with a new quarterback, new. franchise, new everything. That's a lot.

of money. And I'm not saying it doesn't. uh warrant it. I'm just saying whenever. you're a team in turnover, this is an. interesting move. I don't think any of. us expected this to happen for Garrett. Wilson. Congrats to him, especially. after year three. >> Yeah. I mean, it you're the Jets though, it doesn't surprise you. Of course, you. drafted this guy. He's your he's a. franchise cornerstone piece that you. have on your offense. Now, yeah, the. thing is you got Justin Fields. What's. this offense going to look like? We know. the the type of production that Garrett. Wilson is capable of, but what's the. Jets team as a whole? Like, what do they. look like now with Aaron Glenn as a head. coach? >> How do we feel about the Jets team as a. whole? And how do you feel about Garrett.

Wilson debugging? >> I mean, you know, it's it's a new coach, first year, Aaron Glenn, so I I I still. like to give coaches time to kind of. implement their culture, get their guys, get their roster, build it up. But to. AJ's point, this is a guy that you want. to build around on the offensive side of. the ball. He's been productive uh year. in and year out, regardless of who's. taking snaps at quarterback. So, I. respect that in the National Football. League. again. Now, the deal, it looks. like it's a great deal for both sides. I'm I'm a former player, so I always. want to see the players get the most and. reset markets to do things like that, but I think it's a good deal value-wise.

for the Jets. Great deal for him. Homegrown talent. And now the question. marks in the eyes are going to look on. the other side of the ball with a young. uh superstar who we had on a few. episodes ago, Sauce Gardner. When is he. going to get his new deal? Do they. handle that before the season or before. training camp starts? A. >> shout out to Sauce. Hope he gets all his. money, obviously. Good luck with that. Let's go to the other side of the. country. You talk about the other side. of the ball. the other side of the. country. San Francisco 49ers back in. some drama. >> And we thought there was a chance, didn't we? This would have been the. first year in five years, four or five. years. Yeah. That San Francisco 49ers.

>> uh did not have any contractual drama. kind of going on going into camp would. be quite an advantage, I think, for a. team to not have to do that. But that is. something that comes whenever you have. so much talent. That is something when. you're a good team. A lot of people are. going to want your players. Players are. going to earn a lot of money. Who's. going to give them the money? How are we. going to get the money? When are we. getting the money? I'm done with not. getting the money. I need the [ __ ]. money now. Okay, that is a lot of what's. happening. Jawan Jennings now out with. the San Francisco 49ers story is, hey, I. need a new contract out of here. Okay, and Jawan Jennings, we've all talked. about an absolute dog, a monster. Blocks.

downfield, pancakes people downfield. Basically the epitome of what a Kyle. Shanahan wide receiver uh is supposed to. be and is I think Brock Pery obviously. absolutely loves and that whole offense. will thrive with $7.5 million. I. expected in my mind what I've read he. would be getting paid more money. I. thought there was already some sort of. deal that has already taken place. But. once again, San Francisco 49ers have an. abundance of talent and now they got to. figure it all out yet again. >> Like you said, this is a guy. He wants. his money. He wants it now. I think he. was second in all the major receiving. categories for the niners last year.

after George KD. You know, you lost. Brandon Aayuk who, you know, who knows. when he's going to be full uh go for. this year. So, this is a top target. going into this season. He blocks his. ass off downfield, but I remember. watching these games, it felt like Brock. Party was looking for him on every big. third down. So when you have whenever. you have a guy that's dependable, that. can beat man coverage on third down and. is going to do all the dirty work, I. haven't really heard anything bad from. this guy off the field. So this is a guy. that I'm not surprised he wants a little. more money with this wide receiver. market doing what it's been doing. Uh so. I'm always in favor of the players and.

John Lynch, I feel like he always finds. a way to figure it out. >> Yeah, he also might see the writing on. the wall a little bit like he's he's. just seen Debo get paid and then get. booted. They he he sees Iuk now he had. to go through that whole process to get. more money and now they got Ricky Pieraw. you know the dude who last offseason got. shot you know that broad daylight that. was their drama last off season right in. the chest. >> yeah like that which is absurd to think. about but he came on at the end yeah. Ricky Ricky Pieraw had a great close to. >> that's what we talked about more. >> yeah for sure. >> what.

>> man. >> I mean actually. >> legit. >> and then back. he he has some leverage though I feel. like here they need him like dbo's gone. Like I don't know. I feel like if Brock. Birdie has any say in it, he's in there. pounding the table for him. >> Let's head over to Hammer. >> Hey Bone, what's up? >> Yeah, I saw an interesting uh tweet on. this earlier from Sprack, which is. obviously the contract uh site that is. very very well in the NFL. The it says. that the 28-year-old projects toward a. 2-year 38 million extension based on. 2024 production. Debot talked about his.

wide receiver numbers last year being. second to only KD on the team. So like. he's only making seven a year and he's. supposed to be making what 19 a year. So. yeah, they're getting a deal from him. right now. So it's it makes sense that. he wants a new one. >> I just heard he signed an extension last. offseason. I mean, >> yeah, it was like three years or two. years 15. >> Good luck, man. Good luck to everybody. Get all your money that you can get. Get. all your. >> Niners can't be shocked, though. Think. about it. They're like, "Hey, who is. underpaid on our roster? If he's making. 7.5 this year, I could say they all. right. I understand why you believe that.

you're not getting what you deserve.". >> Yeah. And with that being said, like. Brock Pie getting a deal now it's a. whole new world. Yeah. You know, now. it's a whole new How do you handle it. all? Fred Warner got a new deal. >> Kale got a new deal. >> Fred Warner. >> How about Tyler Atinson bringing him up? I respected him bringing up Fred Warner. When he said Fred Warner, cuz he's got. uh Tyler's got dreads as well. All I. thought of was Fred Warner just flying. 53 and a third across the field and just. killing somebody and then getting on top. of them immediately and then running. back and doing it again. He's so much.

We need the NerS to be worthy. >> of like prime time games. >> for sure. >> because they are great for the sport. Yeah, >> the way that defense plays. And Tone, uh, you brought this up. I guess it's. not NFL conversation. No, it is NFL. Was. it NFL or was it college? I forget. >> earlier when I came over to you. >> No, defense winning. Uh, >> oh, yeah, that was college. >> So, let's go to college. Let's talk a. little college ball here cuz Greg Sanki. is down here doing his thing at the SEC. media days. Uh, I believe coach Sarkc. will be coaching or talking here in a. few moments. Obviously, he just got the.

number one linebacker in the country to. commit to him. And I believe coach Smart. and others were speaking throughout the. day or whatever it is. Uh but in college. as you're putting together your uh. >> Yes, I am. >> Are you putting together your guide? >> Yes. The 2025 2026 uh need to know. college football need to know gamblers. guide. Yeah, we are in the middle of it. It'll come out later this month. >> This guy's a published author. So we'll. be able to get that again. And I can't. stress this enough. Last year I think we. were kind of like. make a mockery out of Tone doing this. I. think I think we're all kind of like.

this is a waste of time here. No, we we. just I think there was a lot of [ __ ]. being talked about it. Okay. And then. once you created it and we were able to. read through it, me more specifically. for everything I have to do with game. day and everything, I thought it was a. valuable piece of information heading. into a college football season, especially with the amount of change. that happens in college football. The. amount of players going to different. places, you brought up a good point as. you were doing your research though for. the need to know gamblers guide. It's. like, hey, the best defense in the. country wins a national championship. >> That is seemingly kind of the trend. that's been happening, right? Is that. not what you're.

>> Yeah. last last two years. Two years. ago, Michigan won with the number one. overall defense. They gave up like 10. points a game, which was historic. Then. Ohio State last year was the number one. overall defense, and they did, too. Now, their offenses can't be [ __ ] but you. know, with uh JJ McCarthy and then and. then last year uh with Ohio State, like. they were they just they didn't have to. be great, but when the defense is number. one overall, that's something that you. look at. And then like Texas was the. number two overall defense last year, and they have a lot of guys returning. So, that was just something that I was. looking at for this upcoming season. >> Can't wait to dive into it all. You have.

to have a great defense to be able to. win. Obviously, Will Howard went on a. miraculous run with Chip Kelly and all. the weapons they had on offense, but. their defense had like four different. MVPs basically on that defensive team. Are you guys back again? Is Ohio State. going to be good again? >> I mean, you got to reload like like you. always do, but yeah, they they got a lot. of lot of young bucks in the stable. >> Has uh you and Bobby Carpenter been over. there running sprints with the boys? >> I have not, but Bobby's uh birthday is. August 1st. He runs 20 half gasters. every birthday. So, look to that. Happy. birthday, Bob. Happy birthday, General. We have some breaking news out of the.

NFL. Congratulations to Trey Smith, who. is going to be the only guy on the. franchise tag this year. He reached an. agreement before the deadline of the. franchise tag negotiation on a four-year. $92 million deal that includes $70. million guaranteed. It makes him the. highest paid guard in NFL history. Shout. out to Nate Taylor and Sheffy. It's. highest average annual salary and the. most guaranteed money ever awarded to an. NFL guard. Hell yeah, Trey. Congratul. Trey. Trey is cool dude. Good dude. Great football player. Obviously an. absolute dog. His agent Jimmy Ston and.

uh he's obviously an absolute dog. Uh I. had a chance to chat with him over the. last few days whenever I was trying to. get to the bottom of the whole NFL PA. thing. I'm like I'm calling everybody. I'm calling every agent I know. I'm. calling to see what the hell's going on. I'm calling the NFL. I'm calling the NFL. PA because there's some big words. There's some big words being thrown. around and this is a big business that. we really like. Yeah, >> we really like Hey, you guys aren't. [ __ ] us up, right? Basically is what. I was kind of calling around on this.

entire thing. And uh I love college. football season obviously because the. college game day crew that's on that set. and the cameras and the audio and the. truck and the produ like those people. We live on the road, you know, great. group of people. Love those people. Get. along very well with those people. >> Mhm. love every one of those people. >> There's some people in offices, >> sure, >> you know, that don't really go through. the entire thing and think that. nonetheless, love that group and all the.

people that come alongside everybody, you know, like you get a chance to meet. everybody's family like Desmond's family. comes through. It's great to see the. boys, great to see the team, you know, Reese's family has come by, >> coach Sabin because he has joined the. team. Obviously Herby, he got Debo and, >> you know, the whole crew. Great. All the. boys, >> great group of people. >> All the heries. >> and Chase high Peter bad and rest his. soul. >> Coach Sabin now. >> who people come Jimmy Ston will travel. in. Miss Amy who works there. They'll. travel in and we'll get a chance to see.

him. This Jimmy Ston guy, they need to. write a book. They need 10 movies about. him, documentaries about this guy. Just. this handsome southern fella who just. every well I everything is possible and. he's got he's moving pieces all the. time. He's one of the best dealmakers of. all time. And uh as soon as I heard that. he was on this case, I was like, "Well, Jimmy's not wasting time right now to. get a deal done if a deal is not going. to get done." Felt like if Jimmy Son is.

going to get a deal done, a deal was. going to get done. And I'm happy it did. They said it was right there. I guess it. was right at cut off because if you're. franchise tagged, the date comes, which. I guess was last night or today, uh, today at 4:00 and the date comes, I've. been franchise tagged. So, I will say there was zero negotiation. until this 4:00 time from the time I got. franchise tagged. There was no thought. of negotiating a deal, but you have. until 4:00 to negotiate a deal on a. franchise tag. A lot of guys try to get. a deal done, you know, because it's kind. of a sign from the and uh from the team. like, hey, you're not going anywhere,

okay? We got you for another year after. this if you want. So maybe it's a. resetting of negotiation. So maybe there. is a little bit of a reset like, "Hey, we're not letting you leave. This is. your reality. So now let's go ahead and. negotiate in this reality whenever guys. want to get out or whatever." Nobody. likes being franchise tag because. there's no long-term security. I loved. it cuz I became a millionaire. immediately. So yeah, >> give me that. Now, how much you paying. me to kick a ball? One year, 2.8. million, a millionaire. Done. Let's go. to Canada. Literally went to Niagara. Falls that weekend as soon as I was. signing the franchise. Not a lot of.

people like to do that. Getting that. deal done is huge for Trey Smith. It's. also huge for the Chiefs going into the. year without having to worry about any. of that [ __ ] You know, the offensive. line was a big question. Yes, that was. the big question for this entire thing. Now, you get a guy taken care of who's. very good and you can just kind of clear. your mind of it all. And Trey can be and. feel respected and like appreciated, which uh sometimes in business there are. some hurt feelings. I'm not saying Trey. would ever get that, but I'm happy they. got the deal done. >> Yeah. And Trey, I think as a player, too, you want to do right by the the. team that takes care of you like that. Hey, look, I want to prove the team. right for paying me. they they give me.

all this money, all this guaranteed. money, I'm going to let them know, hey, yeah, it it's not wasted. And we all. know you can have every piece in place. in the world. If you are worried about. who is going to be starting on the. offensive line in front of Patrick. Mahomes, good luck. Like that's going to. >> you need an offensive line. We tal we. talk about defense and um you know, we. talked to Lane. We talked a lot of. offensive linemen. I got mad respect for. offensive linemen. Not only because they. just house beers. You're talking about. demolishing beers. >> Asking for no credit. Just tough dudes. All of them tough. Hand to hand combat.

is their job. >> I've never seen a single offensive. lineman that isn't a great fighter like. ever. I saw a guy roll with Shawn. Uh. offensive lineman uh. >> where's he from? The Bengals. >> Getting out. done with a few different players. >> Hey, he was rolling. It's like offensive. lineman actually hand. That's real [ __ ]. You know, that's every day they're doing. and they're huge dudes and they get. their asses beat all the time. But at. the end of the day, those five dudes are. going to decide whether or not you can. win or you can't win because if you. can't protect a quarterback, you can't.

run the ball, you're completely [ __ ]. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs, who have an. offensive line question, have paid $50. million in their center and their guard. combo. Now, they got to figure out. everything else to get back to the place. that uh we all assume that the Kansas. City Chiefs will be whenever Patrick. Mahomes is quarterback and Andy Reid is. the head coach. And uh I assume they're. going to make another run. Just remember. they were the AFC Champs. >> Yeah, >> they were the AFC Champs. The best team. in the AFC. They were they were that. team. Then they just get the doors blown. off them in the Super Bowl and. everybody's like Chiefs are dead. It's.

like are they? I don't know. >> Couldn't block the Eagles. >> Yeah, exactly. Four against the Bucks. Couldn't block them. >> Yep. Well, and that still might be a. problem though. like they lost Joe Tuni. and you know Trey Smith and Creed. Humphrey were both still on that line. last year and do they even do they know. who their tackles are again? >> Yeah, I'm sure they know. They'll figure. it out. >> Uh joining us now ladies and gentlemen. is a man who is a American success story. that I also believe they should, you. know, make documentaries about. He would. love that. I think that is like kind of. thing he would really sign up for.

>> Yeah, for sure. >> Let a journalist in his life follow him. around, document it, tell his story, you. know, and they do it in a very fair way. Feels like this guy gets judged very. fairly by a lot of people, you know, for. everything he's done and how much he's. accomplished in a business, in a sport. that he's taken to heights that we've. never seen before. Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the UFC and a man. who'll be hosting this weekend in New. Orleans, Louisiana on Friday, power slap. 14. On Saturday, UFC 318, Diamond Dustin.

Pouyet's last fight ever in his. hometown, ladies and gentlemen, Dana. White. Yeah, Dana, >> how you doing, brother? >> What's up, boys? How are you? >> I uh heard your voice over for the Ram. truck commercial. You got that Ram shirt. on right there. >> Love. Hey, God bless America, Dana. Hey, God bless America, Dana. That's all I. can say. How are you doing, brother? How's life? Very busy. >> Well, everything's awesome, man. Yeah, everything's awesome, man. What's funny. is I never aspire to No, there will not. be a documentary. I will never do. anything like that. I don't want to act.

I don't want to do commercials. I don't. want to do any of that stuff. But, uh, you know, I I met Tim, the CEO of of of. Dodge, and and he was walking me through. all this stuff and and and they sent me. over the the VO for that commercial. And. then the uh, you know, um, you know, all. the images, and I'm like, "Oh, hell. yeah. I'm doing this commercial.". >> Yeah, I can do a voice. Is there a. [ __ ] microphone in here? I I needed. to do a little voice over. I got a. chance to chitchat with Tim as well. I. believe he's fresh CEO over there. I. think within like the last year or. whatever. He has He's a lightning rod.

this guy. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He's electrifying. I can't wait to. see what you get. >> Go ahead. >> He was in then he retired and then they. brought him back. Uh. >> so yeah. No, I I like him very much. We. we are uh like I said, I've said this a. million times. I I want to work with. people that I'm aligned with and I could. not be more aligned with him. He's he's. a great guy. Love him. >> Yeah. And shout out to the uh Hemi. >> Yeah. >> 2500 heavy duty. >> that I got sitting right outside. This. Ram truck rides like it's on the clouds, but has the power to get you wherever.

you need and a utility to get the job. done. Okay, let's talk about you getting. the job done. Massive weekend in New. Orleans, brother. Okay, we got power. slap 14. Congrats on the 14th one of. these. I remember we talked before the. first one. I remember we talked before. the first one. I got a chance to be in. attendance at one of these. Uh I was. sitting right next to Travis Scott in. the uh kapow dead lady right in front of. us and it was electrifying. Obviously, social media is power slaps home, I. think, every single week. And then. Saturday, Dustin Pouyet's last fight.

This is a massive weekend for you in the. middle of the summer. How excited are. you for it down there in New Orleans? And uh what should we maybe have our. mindset be looking ahead to it? >> Yeah, I haven't been there in a long. time, so I'm excited to get back there. Fun city obviously. Um yeah, Power Slap. for the people that have never seen it. live. Like you said, it's an incredible. fun live event. It's been killing it for. us. Uh um and then obviously the BMF. card on on Saturday night, the UFC, uh. Dustin Porier, his last fight, win, lose.

or draw versus Max Holloway. And what's. incredible about the Dustin Porier. fight, if you think about the. lightweight division, the nastiest. division in the sport. Uh you know, everybody in the top 15 are all killers, and these guys are ranked number five. and six. Um and it's for the BMF title, and the whole card is a BMF card. So, um, I'm looking very forward to it. >> I love the baddest [ __ ] title. I. think that was a genius I think it was a. genius concept by you. You know, I I. think that, you know, you're a promoter.

I think that was a genius promoter. This. feels like one where all fight fans are. going to get behind it as well, right? Cuz obviously we got this number here. and then we got Pouier with his last. fight. Feels like this is one that fight. fans are very excited about. Do you feel. that as well? Well, what's funny about. the BMF title is that me and my matchm. baker sit in this room every Tuesday and. we fight and argue about, you know, this. fight or that fight or what we're going. to do. And uh when I pitched them the. BMF uh idea, I thought they were going. to [ __ ] all over it. Uh they did not.

They loved it and uh so we ended up. doing it and uh yeah, the the fans like. it and more importantly, the fighters. all want to fight for this title. So, I. love it. >> Yeah, it's a sense of pride to be the. baddest [ __ ] I mean, that is a. uh that is a great thing to be known of. Can you talk a little bit about Dustin. though and what he's done for the UFC. obviously as we look ahead to his last. fight in the cage. >> Absolutely. I mean what Dustin has. accomplished here is incredible and when. you look at like his last 11 fights, it's the who's who and and I think seven. of them are former world champions. Um.

so so and obviously his his fights with. Connor, the list goes on and on and and. he's a great guy. This is one of those. fights where. both of them are beloved by the fans and. everybody else. It's one of those fights. where you don't want to see somebody. lose, but unfortunately somebody has to. >> Yeah. Both these guys are both uh. entertaining fighters, which I think is. a massive ordeal for you, right? You you. obviously said you you and the fight. makers meet every single Tuesday in. there. Style of fight is a big deal, right, as you're trying to build up UFC. and still continue to build the best.

cards every single week, week in week. out. >> Absolutely. I mean, again, we're going. into We just came out of Nashville this. last weekend. That card was incredible. Then we go into this one which is. actually the BMF card and we expect, you. know, I say it all the time. I sell holy. [ __ ] moments for a living and I think. we're going to have a lot of holy [ __ ]. moments on Saturday. I want to let you. know I sell holy [ __ ] moments for a. living and I'm living good. That is a uh. real thing. We got 28 seconds till the. heart out here on ESPN will continue on.

YouTube, ESPN Plus, Disney Plus and Tik. Tok Live. Even though they are fickle. >> Tik Tok lives are We need you to get to. the bottom of Tik Tok. I which we will. talk about with Dana here as we continue. into the digital space this weekend. Massive for not only power slap but also. for UFC down there in New Orleans. We. will all enjoy alongside Dana White who. will look spectacular. Cage side down. there in the Bayou. Goodbye. Okay, now. we're on digital. Sorry I had to do. that. That was like a weird There's a. hard right there. Dana and then we.

continue. >> Transition. That's a transition. You. killed it. >> Hell yeah. Boom. >> I was at the home run derby last night. I [ __ ] connected right there. >> I watched it. So right there. >> I went out Saturday night with Kid Rock. after the fight and it was a really bad. idea. And uh I was sick for the last two. days. So I I didn't work out yesterday. morning, so I worked out last night and. and watched the home run derby while I. was working out last night. It was. great. It was actually really. >> Yeah, they bombed balls last night. It. was a good show. I think I I And Big. Dumper, he's the guy leading the league. right now. Him having a good performance.

was big for baseball. Let's talk about. you going out with Kid Rock afterwards. I went to his uh restaurant down there. in Nashville with Ernest and uh a couple. others. The decorations in this place, the style that Kid Rock has, I don't. know if there's ever been a human that. decorates like him. That and then I. heard his house is very similar to what. that restaurant is. What an interesting. cat. And and it's not until you walk. through the museum that he has at this. restaurant that you are reminded of all. the [ __ ] that Kid Rock has done. He's in. every Hall of Fame. I saw every plaque. This shit's in this restaurant. He's.

out. What a human kid rock is. You need. to tell him from us. >> that I think he is an anomaly, legitimately. What a weapon Kid Rock is. >> I feel the same way, man. And so he came. to the UFC on Saturday. So we watched. the fights and then we went out after to. his place uh his his honky tonk. But um. the night before he was in Kentucky. where he played the 25 30,000 people. Um. you know, he's doing all these uh. unserved markets where they don't get. big concerts and he's absolutely killing.

it. And yes, he's incredible live and uh. yeah, he's obviously fun to hang out. with. >> Yeah, his decoration, you got to admit. >> Yeah. And Oh, and his house his house is. is a is a replica of the White House. And uh it's it's incredible. Yeah, it's. incredible. He's got a massive studio in. there. He's got a garage with all his. old cars in there. And then all of his. garage doors are his uh his gold. records. Uh it's pretty cool. >> I'm telling you, from walking into his. restaurant, I've never been to his. house. walking into his restaurant, I'm. like, "Holy [ __ ] this guy just lives.

It's a museum. I'm in a museum right. now. Collector's pieces all over the. place. I don't know how many millions of. dollars in collected pieces." They're. fake, though. It's not real. Don't go. rob the place. But there there's a lot. of there's a lot of really good [ __ ] I. uh can't wait to meet him. Obviously, he's done a lot. You're in that world. right now. Obviously, uh the Power. Brokers, because of how much success. you've had, and now you're venturing. into a whole new avenue, and I think. it's where you started, this boxing. world. Let's talk about all the [ __ ]. with the boxing world. Okay. Because uh. obviously we had you and Turkey on.

whenever we were announcing that this. was happening. It was an honor for us to. be a part of that. TKO teams up with. Turkey. You obviously going to run a. boxing promotion. You started in a. boxing world. Obviously, you know the. fight world very well. You know the. promotion world very well. WWE'se's Nick. Khan also in there. Now, first fight has. been announced. It's [ __ ] fight of. the century and it's going to be in a. stadium. How do you feel about the. boxing promotion? Do we have a name yet? And how much time are you divvying on. all these? How are you handling it all? Yeah, it's it's it's been uh I've been. busy, that's for sure. But uh Nick Khan.

from WWE introduced me to Shake Turkey. um a year or two ago. I don't remember. how long ago it was, but we ended up. creating a relationship. I like the guy. and I like what he's doing for boxing. and um I don't know how I ended up in. this Canelo Crawford fight, but I did. And but this isn't what what I'm going. to be doing. I I'm launching something. else. in and in and 26 that I I'll. announce you and I'll probably announce. it with you anyway. Everybody loves you.

and wants to announce everything with. you. So, um. >> not everybody loves you. >> The everybody loves you. I don't know. There's a lot of people. want me dead. There's a lot of people. >> Everybody loves you. >> All right, that feels good. Thank you. Everybody loves you, too. >> So, yeah. I I I mean, it's it's fun. It's I wouldn't be sitting where I am. today if it wasn't for the sport of. boxing. I love uh what Turkey is doing, creating, you know, making these fights. that would never be made and we'd be. talking about 10 years from now, wishing.

that we would have seen it. That's those. are the fights he's making and the fact. that I can contribute anything to this. Um I'm honored. I love it. >> Okay, cool. So, that fight's coming in. September. You're starting something in. 26. Can't wait to see what that is. I. feel like that's some sort of news at. least at some sort. I don't think I had. heard of that. Can't wait to hear uh. what that is and see what it is. you're. seemingly successful with everything. And on that note, you talk about uh. Turkey being good for boxing. Obviously, you're good for the fight game. You're. also good for sports as a whole. We're. having a fight at the White House. So,

how Okay, take me into the think tank. here. We're having dinner with the. president at the White House. We. overlook a yard. I assume there's a name. for the yard. I should know it. I don't. know it. A garden of something. You look. out there. There's enough space out. there. We could do an event out here. Is. that how this comes together? This. sounds like some of the most insane. sports stuff in history. That backdrop. of the White House/Kid Rocks looking. house. You have that right there, then.

bang, the octagon right there, and then. a select crowd of people. That seems. like a movie, not real life. How did we. get here? And where where are we in the. development of that? >> I agree. So, the president has this. whole thing where he wants to bring. Americans back to the White House. He's. like, "This is America's house. Everybody should be able to come and. enjoy it." Easter egg hunts on the lawn. and all this stuff. He says, "I think we. should do a fight here at the White. House." And I was like, "Uh, okay. I'm. in. I'm in." So, he told Ivanka to uh to.

handle it and and and start the the. talks with me. So, my team went out. there and uh did all the recon on it. We're putting together a whole pitch and. we're going to fly out there in a couple. weeks and and walk the president through. it and see what he likes and doesn't. like and start fine-tuning this thing. and and we're going to put on an. incredible event at the White House on. the South Lawn. >> Yeah, it sounds like a lot of your. fighters are excited to be like, "Hey, if we're going to do something historic. and legendary, we're okay being a part. of that." Even somebody that maybe was. retired, go ahead, DBudge. >> Yeah. I got to ask you about the GOAT.

John Bones Jones. I've seen he retired. He's unretired. Back in the testing. pool. What's the latest on Jones? >> Is that for the White House fight? For. sure. Right. >> Well, it was after we announced the. White House that yeah, he called and. said he wanted to uh, you know, get back. in the pool. Um, you know, obviously. everybody wants to fight on that card. And that's a good thing cuz we're going. to put on the best card we've ever done. uh for that White House event. >> Okay, so on that note, let's go to. Ireland. Uh, we saw a lot of a guy, but. obviously he is massive in the fight.

world. Go ahead, Conor. >> Yeah, Dana. Then the other question. would be McGregor, you know, Jon Jones. and Conor McGregor on the same card. would be, you know, historic, the. biggest of all time, it feels like. Is. that another thing that might be in the. works as well? Cuz I saw a lot of him uh. talking about it, too. >> Yeah. And a lot of him in general. Saw a. lot of him. A lot of him saw a lot of. him. >> Keep living, Conor. Just keep keep. >> anything is possible. Listen, it's still. a year away. I mean, it's literally a. year away from now. So, the landscape.

will change a lot over the next year, uh, as far as title holders and, you. know, stars and people that pop up. But, yeah, I mean, we're looking if if Jones, if we get into a Jones and Connor on the. same card, plus a lot of other great. fights, anything is possible and. everything is possible for that card. >> If we're going to have Conor McGregor. and Jon Jones on the same, I mean, I. guess. >> Sure. >> I mean, I guess we'll do that. That. thing will be electrifying. You said. it's about a year from now. Do you have. a date already picked out? >> It's the 4th of July. The two It's the. 250th anniversary of America.

>> Yeah. >> Holy [ __ ] Is that the greatest thing of. all time? I mean, >> yeah, it is. >> Yes, it is. By the way, yeah, the fly. over. >> Oh my. The fly over is about to be. >> Holy [ __ ] D. >> Imagine just think about what I'm going. to do for this fight and then think. about what Trump is going to do for this. fight. You know what I mean? It's going. to be one of the It's a oneofone. experience. It's like when we did the. sphere. It's the sphere on steroids. I. mean, it's going to be a oneofone event.

There'll be there'll be nothing like it. ever again. >> Yeah. Then let alone Kid Rock starts. getting his mind around this entire. >> We already talked. Believe me, when we. were out the other night, we we talked a. lot about this. Believe me, >> Dana, I got ideas. >> Well, that's the other thing where where. the president just put on the uh he just. did the parade for the military. That's. all right there, too. You can put 25,000. people in that area, right? It it's just. the the the possibilities for this thing. are insane.

>> Yeah. You're gonna take advantage of it. all and give us a hell of a show and. we're very grateful for it. >> I promise you that. I promise you that. >> Uh do you feel Okay, I'm going to talk. about your personal life real quick. >> So, we see your friends publicly fight. each other. That's what I feel like we. see at this stage of life. And you're. like a glue piece to all of it almost. And every story is like Dana, right? And. then Dana, there was even conversations. that happened. White House, they get. leaked allegedly. And then there's. obviously public [ __ ] that we see. Do. you feel a sense of like, hey, I I am a.

rather important piece of America. Do. you feel like that or no? You just try. not to think about it. >> All the big dogs, all the big dogs were. all. >> you UFC events there for a while. It was. just like, >> oh yeah. Hey, uh, who's deciding what. goes on the entire world? Well, let. alone the guy that's on commentary every. time. >> His podcast. >> just changes the entire globe's. everything. And then you got the people. sitting behind in the corner. It's like, oh, there's the president. There's the.

richest man on earth. Oh, there's the. biggest agent in the history of being an. agent. There's Dana White Zuckerberg is. getting into this. And they're just all. there. And it's like, I think the love. of your sport is something that really. has rallied a lot of people. Do you see. it that way? And uh how involved in all. that [ __ ] do you want to be or are you. trying not to be? >> I guess I see it that way when you point. it out. Yeah. Um. >> yeah, this is what we're all seeing, Dana. Yeah. This is what we're all. seeing. Yeah. Yeah. And let alone Theo. Vaughn is sitting. Yeah. The big the. biggest comedians are right there behind.

you watching the entire thing. It's like. your events are like all the. [ __ ] that kind of run. everything. And it's like you're the. glue behind it. That's a cool thing that. MMA is the one, but it's also like a. pretty important thing I think right now. in sports. >> Well, thank you. Well, thank you. Um, yeah, and and you know, it's it's funny. because I've been friends with all these. guys for a long time. Obviously, me and. Rogan go back, you know, 25 26 years. Uh, the president and I go back that. long. And and yes, the love of this.

sport and and the things that we've done. over the last 25 years have brought us. to where we are today. It's just I don't. know. It's just a as as surreal as it. is, it's just. It's what it is. It's just done over the. last 25 years. >> Yeah, it's just another day. I'm an. American badass. Let me walk out here. with a [ __ ] president. I'm walking. into an arena with the president of the. United States and Kid Rock flanking me. I mean, it's uh it's an unbelievable. thing. Congrats on the business. Can't.

I mean that's. insane. I I think I watched Taylor win. hundreds of thousands of money. >> They got a good thing going over there. at UFC. >> Do they win every time? >> Feels like it. >> Dana does. >> Well, Dana talks about how he's like, "Hey, I live here. I if I'm up, I see.

We were invited to. go play blackjack with Dana White five. six years ago. I forget what it was. >> at the Super Bowl. >> Uh somewhere multiple times because but. like first time we were invited to go do. it. I was like that sounds awesome. And. then I asked him exactly what it is. He.

basically said what it was. He was like. oh we need to do that. Something. happened. We weren't able to get out. there. So then Super Bowl we were. supposed to go. Something happened. Weren't able to do it. So then uh we. start watching these videos of these. things. It's like holy [ __ ] these are. I'm happy I didn't go actually. pretty. stressful. Feels like these are very. stressful, but it's great content. I'm. loving watching these people do it. I. don't know if I'm supposed to be the one. in there, though. >> I mean, it'd be wild to be in there and. all of a sudden you blink and you're. down 50K, 100K, >> 100K. Yeah. Right. He's like 200k. He. said you need to be I'm saying like 2. minutes in.

>> Yeah. Well, cuz you need to be willing. to lose 100k on your first hand because. then you have to go bigger on your like. that's that's his game. So, yeah. If you. if you're not getting cards, you could. be down 500k for sure. >> He doesn't blink. >> I know. And then whenever he wins. >> Thank you. >> I will see you later. That was fun, wasn't it? You guys had me there for. about four hands. I'm out of here. I've. seen a double or nothing Gatorade shot. into Gatorade bottle shot into a trash. can up to 45,000 bucks for like. >> That's awesome. >> Yeah, that was pretty cool.

This head. >> Yeah, that club head. You're right. >> It's not about this. It's about. >> It's about the head, not the shaft. I. know. >> What's that? >> Yeah.

Mission accomplished. >> Yeah. >> I I'm not happy. It's sports, Pat. Something you need to see. >> Yeah.

be an okay golfer. >> If it goes in, you're right. It doesn't. matter. >> Could you imagine doing this? >> Oh my gosh. You should. Can you imagine. carrying your golf bag when that thing's. sticking up 12 feet above the rest of. your clubs? >> If I can make a. >> If you can make every putt, then I. understand. If I can just two. Oh yeah. Oh, bang. >> Pretty pure. >> I mean that. Oh, >> pretty pure. >> Is that put together like a pull queue? You can like on unscrew it. >> That is a fair. >> I sure hope so.

I like to feel like an athlete. before I do. >> I just want to make a [ __ ] punch. The. >> god's ears. Cool. >> I guess are cool. What are you thinking. about doing the the open stance with. that one? >> Don't need it. >> You're not exactly anchoring that on. your phone. >> Bang. >> Boom.

So mask third question couldn't. couldn't read any lips. >> couldn't hear in the video I I did hear. that it was perfectly clear it was not. like that where we were on the stage I. think it was where the speakers were. maybe front of stage shooting out that. way and there was also noise in back of. theater so we could not we actually.

could not hear what you could hear like. every fifth. and they did see her reading question. pretty promptly. So, like legitimately. did not hear what she said until the. second time. I was trying my best to. kind of understand it, but it was like I. I don't know if we're the right people. for that question. But also, uh I. appreciate passion. And on that same. note, I think Atlanta was awesome for. the All-Star game. It was. >> just like it was for the national. championship, just like it was for the. SEC championship.
