[Music]. The following program is a collection of. students talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss, or. ESPN. There may be some cuss words.

because that's how humans in the real. world talk. If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. Hey, let's go. This show stinks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. the line with a gorgeous assist. The. alltime leading tackler for the Green. Bay Packers, you.

Damn it. Your friend, tell a friend. something nice could change their life. [Applause]. Hello, beautiful people and welcome to. our humble abode, the Thunderdome on. this champion Wednesday, June 25th, 2025. This program begins now. Champions. are all over today's show. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. And we will be. joined today by Alex Caruso, who is a.

twotime twotime NBA champion. And. obviously, he's fresh off of a parade. that happened yesterday in Oklahoma. City. A lot of people on the internet. were talking a little bit of [ __ ] on the. parade in Oklahoma City. Then we found. some new angles. I think that parade did. just fine over there in OKC as the. entire state showed up to celebrate the. hell out of their first ever title. Caruso obviously had won one in the past. with the Lakers I believe in 2020. Now. he wins with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

and now he has a Mount Rushmore shirt on. with his face on all four Mount Rushmore. spots. That is up for debate. We will. certainly ask him about it uh and how he. is feeling after beating the Indiana. Pacers in a sevengame NBA final series. that uh brought in more ratings than. years past. Mhm. We'll also be joined by. Keegan Bradley. Whoa. Just won a. Travelers Championship this past. weekend. He's also Captain America for. Ryder Cup and he has the third best odds.

to win this weekend at the Rock Mortgage. in Detroit. I had it, man. I had it, man. No, I don't. Foxy said not quick. enough. Foxy said, "Hey, that's in. Detroit. That's from a Michigan State. grad putting that tournament on." Oh, yeah. Dan Gilbert runs that thing. He. wants to bring golf back to Detroit. They love it every year. It's been a. great tournament the last couple years. Kean Bradley third best odds to win that. particular tournament this weekend fresh. off of the Travelers Championship. We. chatted with him this morning for about. 60 minutes or so.

Spoiler alert, guy knows the show. He. really did. I mean, he really gives a. couple speeches in there, a couple. conversations. We'll debut that at about. 10:05 Eastern time. We'll also be joined. by Sham Shirana here in about 8 minutes. or so. And then, uh, Jake Paul will join. us. Oh, yeah. Jake Paul has a massive. fight this weekend against Caesar Chavez. Jr. Julio Caesar Chavez. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Let Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. That's 100% on me. He has 61 total. fights. Okay. In his uh fighting career,

boxing career. Jake, this will be his. 13th fight. So, a little bit difference. in experience. Uh I Julio Caesar Chavez. Jr. is still fighting. Had a fight last. year actually. So, he's still an active. boxer. He is 39 years old. 38, 39 years. old. So, people, I guess, are, you know, going after Jake for that particular. case. People are going to go after Jake. in a lot of different ways. I feel like. Jake has put out open challenges to. anybody in boxing that would fight him. This feels like a big one for him. And.

they're also reporting that if he wins. this, there's a chance he's going to be. ranked in the official boxing rankings. And then if he continues to climb, he'll. have a shot at a real title, which is. what Jake Paul has said he is committed. to doing. A lot of people thought this. was an attention-grabbing situation for. Jake Paulo to get into boxing because. his life had been attentiongrabbing. He. was a influencer, a content creator, a. man who trailblazed alongside of his. brother on social media platforms. Actually put one platform out of. business. Vine, see you. We're gone. You're you're going to start splitting. some money with us. Uh all of us, not.

just us, but all of us. Or we're going. to leave. They leave Vine. Vine says you. get you think you're going to see you. Vine's dead. Vine was a great platform. It was Vine was a great platform, but. then obviously Jake and Logan come over. to YouTube, do the entire thing. I mean, you're talking about business to Vance. and they've certainly not made the best. decisions all the time. When you're. living life in the public eye, especially whenever you're trying to. pave your own road, you're going to [ __ ]. up every once in a while. They certainly. did. But I think after getting to meet. and watch Logan Paul do his thing, and. then now getting a chance to watch Jake, who is fully committed to being a boxer,

his content is fully boxing related for. like what, the last five, six, I don't. know how many years it's been. Been a. long time. It's uh I have massive. respect for two boys from Ohio that have. obviously carved their own lane in this. entire world. And uh Jake will join us. in next hour. He always says something. that pisses everybody off for sure. He'll say something in there that's. like, "Are you kidding me with this. whole thing?" He's remained wildly. committed to boxing, especially with how. difficult boxing training is. I mean, that's hard. Cardio is obviously. impossible. You got to take shots. You.

got to get beat up. Two beat people up. And he's just committed to it after. already being an incredibly successful. person. his brother, I think, does the. celebrity fights. Okay. Sure. Jake B is. a celebrity who I think is boxing. So, there's a little bit two different. animals in the entirety of it all, but. we appreciate anytime he comes on. I. can't wait to hear how he's thinking. about going into this weekend. Uh, obviously the Tyson fight a lot of. people had a lot to say about. Yeah, I. don't think we've talked to him since. then. No, we haven't. Talks the table at. Boston Connor at Ty Schmidt. Ty, do you. see the jacket that the guy sitting next. to you is wearing right now? I do. I.

absolutely love it. Connor was born to. wear this jacket. I can't believe this. is the first day we're seeing it. I'm. I'm not going to give away what it says. on the back. I'll let you kind of go. through that. But you were you were born. to wear that jacket. You'll probably be. buried in that jacket. You look. unbelievable in that jacket. Thank you. Thank you guys very much. I know what I. wear can sometimes stir a little bit of. controversy uh at times, especially in. this office. But I it feels like this. one, you know, no BS. I look like the man. I I don't know. I. don't know.

to to really describe it. Aside from. that, uh I think there's a chance that I. never take this off. Uh I I wish I knew. that it was uh Champions uh Wednesday. When I woke up this morning, I would. have worn my leather pants, you know, just gone the full 100% leather outfit. But no BS. No BS in this. I look like. the man. Thank you. I appreciate that. That is what you just said. And you. emphasized it by by letting me know. Yeah, because that was a true statement. there. That is no BS. You do look like.

the man. If you were to walk into any. place, if you were to walk into any. place like People would probably be. saying that to you as you walked in, they're not they're not asking my. pronouns because they know they're him. If I'm walking into any place where it. says like this, how you doing? I am him. How you doing? I am him. How you doing? Once again, I. am him. I think I could do that at any I. might go to the the biggest dive bar in. Indiana after this and do that. How many.

sigs? I mean, look, I I still have a few. from from Coach Siggy. But that's the. thing. I can't even put these fake ones. in my mouth cuz they'll combust. You. look outrageous. Thank you very much. No, no problem. You look good. Nine-year. NFL vet Darius J. Butler always looks. cool. He says you look cool as well. I. think that's a big compliment. I mean, you got the you got the what's that? The. ghost squad. I don't want to get it. wrong, but uh the ghost army you're. talking about. Yeah. Classic World War. II story, I guess. It doesn't get talked. about enough about a uh platoon, I.

believe, of people that were like. staging fake bases so that uh uh. obviously the enemies thought that that. was the real one. So, they would attack. there and then bang, we're coming. It. was called the Ghost Army. And WWE, they. have their own Ghost Army, which is the. production crew, everybody that puts. everything together. And they are a. group of legends, an absolutely. legendary group. But it comes from an. actual story of the Ghost Army in World. War II. And then the uh the Ghost Army. was a special top secret US army army. unit during World War II. Officially. known as the 23rd headquarters special.

troops. This 1100 man unit was tasked. with using visual sonic and radio. deception to mislead German forces about. the size and location of Allied troops. They employed inflatable takes, fake. radio traffic, sound effects, and other. ruses to simulate much larger force. Got. it. So the ghost army was like. in a boom counter attack. It was uh so. in the WWE they pay tribute to that. particular story in that group uh by. like the production crew is like the. ghost job haymakers. Yeah it is a well I.

think it's actually like a faint faint. faint boom coming at you. But anyways. debug shout out to the production crew. at WWE by the way. I appreciate the poll. though. Going to wear it on the golf. course. Maybe it makes me better. Oh. okay maybe if I pick up the game again. Um, you will. You said he looked cool. Yeah, my first when I walked in, I had a. very similar reaction to you. You know, you usually come in, say, "What up to. the boys?" Just what the [ __ ] Cuz I saw. I did see the back. We didn't get it to. I saw the back first and it was whispers. about this particular jacket uh uh.

yesterday after the show. So, I mean, I. believe this particular jacket was found. in the Thunderdome. It was. I don't know. how. I think it was found and it also. picked somebody. I think more so. Oh, you think that jacket was found and then. it said, "Get me on that man's. shoulders." I didn't find this jacket. This jacket found. Are you going to tell. people what's on the back of that or are. we not? I think that might be some, you. know, movie magic that we save for. later. I don't know. It's a long. program. You're going to have to stick. around to find out. Foxy just tried to. catch you. I saw I saw I saw it already. I thought he was going to turn.

you have to wait and see. Timothy. Campbell, he's already hit a couple. Yeah, you're right. This is Connor. Himothy Campbell right there. Uh, okay. Some big news broke last night. Um, congrats to the Dallas Mavericks and. Kyrie Irving. Uh, I guess he had a. player option or something. I don't know. how the NBA thing works. He ended up. getting a hund uh three years 119. million uh deal that he just signed for. to remain in the Dallas Mavericks. organization. Obviously, the Dallas. Mavericks have the number one overall. pick uh this evening and all eyes are on.

the main event. Joining us now with some. breaking news and maybe some more intel. on what should we uh expect this evening. with the NBA draft, senior NBA insider. for the ESPN, friend of the program, ladies and gentlemen, Shawn Shere, good to see you. Uh I hear there's some. breaking news. Let's hold off on that. for about a half a beat or so. Let's. talk about Kyrie's deal getting done. before the draft here. What does that. indicate? What does that mean? And I'm.

pumped for Kyrie. I assume Dallas is. excited for this next era. Yeah, Pat, this is a Mavericks organization that. the easiest decision that they have will. be tonight and that's drafting Cooper. Flag. There's other things on this. docket for for Nico Harrison, Jason Kidd. and that organization. One was taking. care of Daniel Gaffford a couple days. ago. They reached agreement three years. about $60 million in an extension. So, he's there for the long haul. But Kyrie. Irving had a $43 million player option. And what made his decision so important. is if he opted into that deal, the.

Mavericks would not have had the ability. to go out and use their taxpayer. mid-level exception of over $5 million. to go get a starting caliber, a player. that they feel can come in and start. while Kyrie Irving is out potentially. until January or February with that torn. ACL. So, they've been in negotiations. for the last really week or so to figure. out what does it look like for Kyrie. Irving uh as as a member of the Dallas. Mavericks and and so if he opted in, they had some issues, but they were able. to reach agreement on a three-year $119.

million deal. I actually spoke to Kyrie. Irving late last night and he told me. his decision uh was was made for three. reasons. One, he wanted to show. commitment to Dallas. He feels like. they've been committed to him. He wants. to build a legacy in Dallas. We know. what happened in Brooklyn. There was a. tumultuous e exit out of Brooklyn. Now. he feels like he's in a home. environment. And the third pillar is he. really does believe in hearing his voice. that this Mavericks team can win a. championship when he's whole again. They. have Anthony Davis. They're going to. have Cooper Flag. They have arguably the.

best front court in the league with. Cooper Flag, Anthony Davis, Derrick. Lively the second, and Daniel Gaffford. Uh they have Klay Thompson at the wing. as a shooter. So we'll see how Nico. Harris in that organization is able to. round out this roster. A couple players. to keep an eye on with that taxpayer. midlevel. D'Angelo Russell, uh, Malcolm. Brogden, Chris Paul, all potential. options for the Mavericks with the. taxpayer mid-level exception. So, this. is a deal they got done. Kyrie Irving, $40 million per year essentially. Uh, he's going to stay in Dallas. And for.

the Mavericks, this is good news cuz. they're able to keep their core together. for a period of time here. Congrats to. Nico uh on seemingly piecing together a. team that he thinks going to they're. going to bop wood too on defense aside. He likes to play defense uh down there. with the Dallas Mavericks organization. And Nico might get the last laugh uh or. last laugh on everybody. Let's talk. about some breaking news for today. Seams, I do believe you have. So we we. do have breaking news. Uh, Houston. Rockets guard Fred Van Vleet intends to.

sign a new 2-year, $50 million contract. to stay with the Rockets. He's going to. have a player option in the second. season in 2026 27. And this essentially. gives him5 more million than the team. option that the Rockets has. So, the. Rockets are declining a $44.9 million. team option for Fred Vanley to give this. 2-year deal to him. And the Rockets. negotiated this deal with with Clutch. Sports CEO Rich Paul, and they were able. to land a deal that now gives the.

Rockets flexibility, gives him some. comfort in having a two-year deal with a. player option. And next off season, there is going to be some more salary. cap room across the league for Fred Van. Vleet. But listen, over the last 11. days, we've seen the Rockets extend. Steven Adams on a three-year, $39. million deal. We've seen them trade for. Kevin Durant. In the middle of all that, they extended Eay Udoka on a long-term. contract extension, gave him eight. figures annually per year, and now they.

do this new deal with Fred Van Vleet. So, Rockus ownership, Tilman Fertitta, they had big decisions a couple years. ago. What direction were they going to. go in? and they signed Fred Van Vleet. They signed Dylan Brooks. Two very. important veterans to this team that now. is in a position where a lot of people. believe they are a championship, one of. the championship favorites going into. next season. Uh and even though this is. a two-year deal, I'm told this is a. partnership both sides expect to. continue for years to come. Very active. down there in Houston. The Houstonians, we heard Parker Mcllum yesterday talk.

about how every sport we're going to. win. That's what's going to happen down. here in Houston. Said he didn't like the. dynamo though. They they need to pick it. up. Especially if you see what the. Rockets are doing. Bringing KD down. there is just such a massive move. Then. keeping your guy Rich Paul negotiating a. deal to get 6 million more bucks to stay. with the team even though the team team. had him for $44.9 million. Always. working. Player option next year. Hey, you can decide what you want to do next. year. Let's go ahead and win it this. year. Love what Houston's doing. Congrats to them. All right, let's talk. about some more moves that are happening. that are lighting up the headlines.

around the NBA. Go ahead, Connor. Yeah, Sean, it's just like you predicted a few. months ago. The Celtics are officially. blowing up the team that brought him the. title. Uh what are you hearing when it. comes to the Celtics? Porzingis, you. know, he's been moved to Atlanta in a. three-team trade with Brooklyn. Uh and. then of course, I think I think it was. two days ago, maybe yesterday, Drew. Holiday gets traded as well to Portland. Kind of rumblings that he's not too too. happy about that. What are you hearing. when it comes to both of these trades?

And are we going to see uh another trade. here for Boston before the draft starts. tonight? Because it feels as though if. that doesn't happen before the draft, then it's probably not happening. BC, we. we we did try to give people a heads up. I mean, it's it's not a warning that a. lot of Boston fans wanted to hear, but. we did we did warn the people. We did. warn the people. What we saw in a 24-h. hour period was essentially the Celtics. getting out of the Second Apron. They. shed about $180 million in taxes. So, the mission in a lot of ways was. accomplished and the dismantling has.

happened and they got rid of two very. critical components to that 2024 NBA. championship team. So, now of course all. eyes are going to be on Jaylen Brown, Derek White. Um, my sense this morning. on the morning of the NBA draft, unless. a team blows the Celtics out of the. water, they prefer to keep both Jaylen. Brown and Derek White, but again, they. are still a First Apron team in the tax. They're still a luxury taxpaying team. Their phone lines are open. They're. ringing. They're open to the.

conversations. At minimum, I think. players like Sam Hower, Anthony Simons, we could see potentially uh being. discussed even more. But they've got a. very high price threshold on Jaylen. Brown and and Derek White from my. understanding from talking to people. around the league. Like if they are. going to move either of them, it's it's. going to be a massive haul that they'll. get. So, um, they've accomplished the. task in a in a one two-day period of. getting out of the second apron, the. dreaded second apron, but there are. still questions what happens, but again,

unless someone blows them out of the. water, uh, they've given indications. that potentially they're just going to. move forward, but we'll see. It is the. morning of the NBA draft. Okay. Morning. of the NBA draft. You said that earlier. That's a great transition for what I was. going to ask. Are we going to see a lot. of action tonight? It feels like uh, everybody that's been talking about it. says there's going to be a lot of. action. Does that mean players? cuz I. heard you just say probably not with the. Boston Celtics players. I think the last. time a big player move happened on draft. night, you and I talked about this. earlier, was Jimmy Butler years ago. Uh, is there going to be a lot of movement. tonight? And who's and what's going to. move if there is movement? Yeah, the the.

the big player movement usually happens. in the leadup to the NBA draft or after. the NBA draft. The NBA draft is usually. what we see and what we're going to see. tonight, Pat. In the last 20 years, about eight first round picks are being. moved, shifted around on draft day. So. far, we've already seen four going into. draft day. So, could there be a half. dozen more, 10 more? Potentially. In the. lottery, it's tough, but could I see. about a half a dozen and picks moving. up, picks moving down, uh, in the first.

round? Uh, for sure. I I I do get the. sense that starting at pick three and. pick four, those teams are going to be, you know, three, four, five, those teams. are going to be all ears when they're up. uh to draft, is there a team that's. going to move up to one of those. positions uh and give up future assets? So, I definitely think there's a chance. we're going to see some significant pick. movement. But listen, at one, Cooper. Flag, number two, the Spurs do seem. pretty zeroed in on Dylan Harper. They. feel like at 6'6, his ability to play.

positionless basketball, which is. exactly what we saw during the NBA. Finals, right? With the Pacers and. Thunder, it's guys that compete to a. ability, lengthy, active on both ends. And so, they really view Dylan Harper in. that same light. Even though they have. Darren Fox and Stefon Castle, they feel. like Dylan Harper can fit right in. Okay. So, you said, congrats to Harper, by the way. Sounds like he's number two. overall pick. Number one overall pick. Then you said 345 can get interesting. And I don't think anybody's been saying. who exactly number three is going to be.

because it sounds like we don't know. what team's potentially going to trade. there, but there has been a player that. has certainly uh rippled some headlines. Go ahead, Debo. Yeah, certainly uh. talented enough. Harper's teammate Ace. Bailey. Any news on him where he may go. uh tonight in the draft? DB, I spoke to. source close to him this week and they. said that they are very confident and. comfortable with where he'll end up in. the draft. They feel like whether it's. as as high as three or as low as eight. or nine, they feel like he'll land. exactly where he wants to be. And only.

time will tell. I said it when we were. together in Indie, like he's either got. a method to the madness or all the. critics are right. And I do think there. is enough uh evidence right now that. shows that listen, between three and. eight, somewhere in that range, a team. will draft Ace Bailey. might not be. where he wants to go, but this is not a. guy that many around the league expect. to fall much past, you know, that high. lottery position. But of course, this. process has been unorthodox. Maybe we'll. get more information that maybe he has. done a private visit that no one knows.

about, but as of right now, there's been. nothing formal on the record in my. conversations with teams in that high. lottery position. Teams still have not. been able to bring him in for a workout. So, uh, we'll get more information soon. I'll be digging more soon, but my feel. is he he has a good idea and a good feel. for what's going to happen tonight. I. heard a clip earlier he said, "I'm just. focusing on ball. I'm just focusing on. ball." I loved it. I love the answer and. I hope this works out for him, you know, and if he says, "We got a spot that. we're going to." We've talked about. this, I think, in the leadup about him. multiple times. Maybe team made a.

promise, you know, now teams lie. Oh, sure. Teams lie in a lot of things, but. maybe there is an understanding at a. deeper level. Okay, let's talk uh more. about some uh you know, not rookies. coming in. Let's talk about some. established players, maybe a little bit. more movement happening in the city of. stars. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Shams, do you. have any update on what the Lakers are. planning on doing? We saw the reports. coming out yesterday that said, you. know, Luca is committed to getting in. shape and and, you know, working on his. cardio and he's done a lot of that. already. Slim. Yeah, slim. Exactly. And.

then a report came out last night, too, that they might be interested in uh Jazz. center walker Kesler. We obviously know. last year they were trying to get a. center, you know, at the deadline that. fell apart. Uh what are the Lakers going. to do? Because they obviously can't just. run it back and do what they did last. year. The the Lakers have interest have. had interest in Walker Kesler for years. now, at least the last couple years, but. the price tag that the Utah Jazz have. had is always been very extreme. Multiple multiple first round picks. So. u for sure I would assume that they've.

called on Walker Kesler. I think they've. called on multiple centers around the. league. That's their biggest need and. Rob Pelinka uh has said it openly that. we are going to address the center. position this off season. They have the. they have a second pick second round. pick in the draft tonight. They do have. a few tradable salaries as well. Players. like Jared Vanderbilt, Rui Hachimura. Do. they want to do something there? Is. there something with Austin Reeves? So I. think they're going to have to be. open-minded. How do you put the best. roster around Luca Dantic, LeBron James?

They've said they want to keep Austin. Reeds as part of that big three there as. well. So, uh, but center is definitely. the position to keep an eye on. That's. the spot that they're trying to upgrade. and I think tonight, tomorrow, and into. the free agency as well. The free agency. period is one that they can utilize as. well. Two, actually, there's going to be. three or four pretty notable centers. Brook Lopez, Clint Capella, Al Horford, and Al Horford right now, guys. you. know, the the the the. you know, what's come of Jason Tatum. potentially missing all next season is.

this uncertainty around Boston. And. that's allowed other teams to really. start preparing to go after players, whether it's trying to get a Drew. Holiday, a Porzingis, a Jaylen Brown, all of those types of guys. Derek White. and and and yeah, Derek White as well. But Al Horford is one of those players. as well. And I am told he has a pretty. robust free agency market outside of. Boston potentially. uh this this. offseason. Is he gonna play till he's. 50? Who knows? We shall see. He really. looks like he could. He looks the exact.

same as he did like I've been watching. Al Horford play basketball uh the exact. same way. Looking the exact same. seemingly my entire adult life and he. has not he's not gotten it's the he's. the exact same. Good for him. Keep. getting your money, man. Keep playing. We love it. Clean. He keeps it clean. He. keeps the face clean, you know, and he's. just looks the same way. Steady every. single year. Yeah. Produces leader. You. said there's a chance there's good. centers on the market. Might be one of. the great greatest of all time. Go. ahead, Tone. Yeah. Uh Seams, you.

mentioned it earlier, the dreaded second. apron when you were talking about the. Celtics. Well, yesterday, vice chairman. of the Nuggets, uh Josh Josh Kroni made. some news when he said this. Um and you. know, I think that for us as an. organization, uh going into that second. apron is not necessarily something that. we're scared of. Uh I think that there. are rules around it that we needed to be. very careful of with our injury history. Um the wrong person gets injured and. very quickly you're into a scenario. where uh that I never want to have to.

contemplate and that's trade number 15. Um and so uh you know we're very. conscious of that pushing forward um and. you know providing the resources that we. can when the moment arrives. But uh that. second apron is it a hard cap? I'm not. 100% sure. Uh but it's something that. teams are obviously very aware of. uh. going forward. Seams, what the hell does. that mean? Uh what exact Everyone's. talking about the second apron and teams. having to cut players because of that. Is there actually did he say that just. because or was it actually a chance that.

Jokic can hit the market someday? The. way I I looked at that is is it was an. analogy? I I know personally Josh Kroni. would never never consider or want to. trade Nicola Joic. Um, you know, you. know, when the Luca Donic trade. happened, you know, Nicole Joic is one. of those types of players that you never. would expect to just be willingly. traded. And, you know, people on Denver. know like they're never trading Nicole. Joic. Nicole Joic, by all accounts, has.

never looked like he wants to be traded. He's probably somewhere on his horses. He has no idea Josh Cares. I doubt he like if there's a you know a. player that is out of sight out of mind. as much in the offseason it's him. Um. but I mean the reality is for the. Celtics that's what has happened right. like a player gets traded but again. you're not just going to you know if. they move Jaylen Brown then maybe it. isn't a real analogy. Jaylen Brown was. the finals MVP. He's an amazing top tier.

player as well. Nicole Kachavi a a. multi-time MVP of the regular season and. and all the other good stuff. So, um I I. I think this was a a great analogy. Um I. guess a good analogy that he in his. mind, but uh clearly I don't know if it. if it went across. These highlights are. [ __ ] outrageous. When was the last. time you just watched Joker uh Joker. highlights just straight through. Have. you I saw a double-handed bat over the. head like this running full speed. Look,

he's just flicking it. Do you think he's. unbelievable? That pass was absurd. All. the passes, all these shots are. outrageous. It looks like he's just what. I guess gosh and then it's splash. It's. not. Yeah, that one right there. Boom. Yep. Somebody will be there certainly. Let me go ahead and post her some. I. mean, but they've had injuries though. The thing that I don't like Jamal Murray. to ACL, but again, it was before this. this new CBA kicked in. But they've had. injuries. They've gotten through it in. Denver. So, injuries are a part of the. game. I don't know if I'm moving Nicole. Joic for an though. No, I don't think he. is either. Do do you think he was saying.

that because he wanted to like point. something out like how ridiculous a new. rule is or something? Like why why do. you think he I I think it's a great. analogy to look at if you're the. Celtics, right? Like the fact that it's. even a conversation about moving Jaylen. Brown and Derek White. Those are two. really great players. Those are two. cornerstones for you to win a. championship. When Jason Tatum is back. healthy, you hope you have a chance to. get back there. You need those types of. guys. But the financial reality is that. if you're a second apron, first apron. team, there's what does this mean? Can I. can these aprons have been tossed.

around. So he was clearly saying that. was a protest statement. I think in my. eyes I don't know what the aprons mean. but he was saying that to say these are. ridiculous rules. There might be. something that'll happen where I have to. cont I don't want to ever contemplate. getting rid of Joker because of. financial thing. What does he what does. he mean? He's definitely saying that he. doesn't like the way it's currently set. up. We've heard apron. We've heard. second apron. These are different like. cap areas of amount amount of money you.

can spend on your entire team. There's a. salary cap of course then there's the. luxury tax. So teams have historically. been paying the luxury tax and then it's. kind of like setting a you know. something of you know when I talk teams. they just consider it to be something of. a hard cap right and that starts with. the first apron and that comes with more. punitive taxes and then the second apron. is really where you you just it's been. described to be as everything just. freezes up your exceptions freeze up. your ability to make trades sometimes. free up uh are frozen up they're not.

freed up so it you know you you have to. like get to a certain salary otherwise. you can't make trades you can't sign in. trades. Um, and that all makes roster. building. Essentially, you're limited to. minimums every single year. Um, potentially. And so, those are all. issues that come with the second. neighbor. So, if you're trying to be. flexible, you're trying to go get this. player or that player or shift your team. in this way. Let's say you fall short, you know, like the Suns for an example, right? Like they spent a couple years. like Matt Ishbia, their owner, very. aggressive. He went all in, but it came.

with the second apron year after year. after year. And there comes a point. where if you're trying to retool the. team or build differently, there are. issues that that come with a second. apron. Okay. So, this was put into place. how long ago? And it was because the NBA. didn't want super teams. Is that what. basically why it happened? The owners. didn't want that to happen. I think it. was 2023. This the new CBA agreement. I. believe it was two years ago. And I. mean, part of it is the parody. The part. of it is like you encourage players to. stay with their team. Um, I I think the.

other part of it is just I mean that's. the PA and and and the league. Like. that's what they negotiated. And so I do. think it has to an extent made it a lot. trickier for teams. Like in free agency. what we're seeing right now is a lot of. players resigning with their team. because there's not much money in the. market. Now next summer I think we'll. get about 10 teams with cap space. This. year there's really only a couple and. Brooklyn is really the real team with. max salary spot space. I remember. growing up I used to watch the league. and it's like every year four or five. teams would have max space and free.

agency is is you know through the roof. Okay. So we just got something off of. Reddit here and you tell us if this is. real. So the second apron is a salary. cap thresh. So basically there's a. salary cap. Then there's a luxury tax. area where you're paying for it. Then. there's a first apron where you're. paying luxury tax plus you're getting. some other penalties. Then there's a. second apron where you're paying luxury. tax and tax on top of that. And also you. can't aggregate contracts and trades. You can't trade multiple players in the. same deal. You can't send cash out in. trades. You can't use trade exemptions.

from previous years. And you can't trade. first rounds picks that are seven years. in the future. Okay. And we know the NBA. loves that years though. Six. Yeah, that's still a long time. Okay. So, there's just basically they're trying to. make a hard cap. It's like uh but it's. way after all their other caps and they. had to start imposing bigger penalties. because Ishbia told us that his fans. don't care if he has to pay a luxury tax. for paying more money. So like in a way. the owners Ishbia at least felt. obligated to spend his money. So there.

was a rules put in place like hey if you. do that you know you're going to be kind. of punished. How long are these teams. going to be punished for? And how long. will this last forever? Is this going to. be a thing that's forever or is there. teams that are against it? Because it. sounds like Kroni is not necessarily for. this particular thing if you listen to. the answer that he gave. Yeah, they they. signed a decade long uh CBA if I. remember correctly. And so, yeah, this. this will be around for a long time and. I think a lot of people thought, oh,

it's going to restrict trades, but what. we've seen, it's actually made trades. even more uh you know, doable. Yeah, I. got to get money off. Yeah, we got to get money off the books. We had the most active trade deadline. just now. We've already seen so many. trades happen and we're not even at the. draft or free agency period yet. So, I I. think it's definitely made transactions. Teams are more willing, teams are more. active, teams are more if they have. issues they have to ser, you know, get. get through with their second apron and. all that like they're going to this is. the time to do it. And can they just. automatically get gone? So, if they go.

from second apron to first apron to. luxury tax time, that could just happen. overnight if they're able to do that or. is there imposing penalties for like a. few years because you were in the second. apron? No, it it it happened with the Celtics. in the span of 24 hours. They traded you. traded Chrisping. So, they got out of. the second uh second apron and now. they're in the first apron and it's. about 15 a little over $15 million if. they shed that. they get out of the. first apron and I believe they get they. approach getting themselves out of the.

luxury tax entirely. So, um there are. that's why there are mechanisms if the. Celtics if they're in the sec first. apron now they're going to be in the. first apron next year pay a punitive tax. if you know like we see right there if. if they trade you know another 15 to$20. million they could find themselves. completely out of it. Go ahead. Yeah, but doesn't this kind of contradict. itself? Cuz if if they're trying to make. players or want players to stay with. their teams instead of forming those big. super teams, but then the supermax deals.

for these players are based on how long. and bigger you're with that team. Yeah. So like SGA is going to get 78 million. or $80 million a year because he's been. with OKC for so long. But like a player. drafted by them like Homegrren or uh. Jaylen Williams, won't they be screwed? screwed because of that? Like the. Brooklyn Nets have five first round. picks and if they somehow someway draft. five Hall of Famers, won't they just be. screwing themselves because all five of. those players are going to be able to.

get like the super super max deal in. theory, but then because of the luxury. tax and first and second apron, they'll. have to get rid of those guys. Now. you're creating competition within the. locker room. You're now you're getting. people to turn against each other. It's. contradictory sports business, man. And. that's that's the that's definitely an. issue with the TV, right? Yeah. Cuz the. Celtics that like that's the pro the. Celtics have two max players and that's. how we got here is that our two best. players the two players we've drafted. that we've always had. So they got the. most su super max that they could get. Yeah. But boy, you're running up that.

ladder towards the luxury tax first. apron with those two guys. That's what. I'm saying. That's why what Jaylen. Brunson did giving up the amount that he. gave up last summer. I mean that has put. the Knicks in position where they're not. necessarily dealing with, hey, we have. to shed this salary or that salary. because of XYZ. So I I think I think. we'll see like in Oklahoma City, they. have three essentially max caliber. players like in in Shay Alexander, Chad. Homegrren, and Jaylen Williams aka JDub. If those guys all get the full super max. or full maxes, we'll be having similar.

conversations potentially about them in. two or three years. And yeah, that is a. byproduct of the CBA. I don't know if. that was the intention, but clearly it. has had an impact. You want to know what. happened in our CBA that was a reverse. impact on what everybody thought? So the. rookie men is like 850,000. We'll say. 900,000 or I'm sorry, the veteran men is. like 850 900,000 and then the rookie men. was like 300,000 400,000. And you're. like veterans that are on men contracts.

deserve to make more. You've been in the. league longer. you deserve for your men. to be worth more. And then all the team. saw is that $500,000 difference. So if. we cut three of these vets and we get. three rookies in here, we get 1.5. million more towards our cap. It was. like nobody thought that was going to be. the it like axed out an entire. generation of veteran like men players. like see you later. So there's always. like some sort of side effect. The. homegrown players not being able to stay. like can't we legitimately can't have. you stay home. you're gonna have to go.

play somewhere else if a couple of your. teammates are very good is a wild scene. that everybody's hoping for. Yeah, I. assume. And dynasties like it damn near. kills dynasties. Like if we're talking. about OKC becoming a dynasty if they. don't win it next year and go back to. back like well the year after they. they're going to have to get rid of one. of their best players. Yeah, it's got to. find another one. The big picture. though, leagues don't necessarily want. dynasties, you know, especially NBA, they want parody. Like it's what seven. different winners in the last uh seven. years. And in the Brunson thing, him. taking I think he left 100 million on.

the table so they can bill. That's not. what the PA wants. The PA wants like max. level players to brother. We negotiated. super max. Yeah. And the dynasty thing. though, it's like what the well the last. highest rated game before that game. seven was the end of a dynasty. So it's. like they sure Indiana the Oklahoma City. never won. Ratings are up is what they. would say, you know, like they would. like everybody to have a chance to win. Purpose of the aprons here. The NBA's. apron system is designed to curb. excessive spending by teams and promote. parody amongst teams. It aims to create. a more level playing field. Yada yada.

yada. That's what they're looking for. All right, Shams, we know it's a very. busy day for you draft day. We've eaten. up a lot of your time. We appreciate the. hell out of you. Good luck tonight. Are. you on the show? Appreciate I am. I am. on the NBA Draft Show tonight. Uh so. tune in. First ever on ESPN. Let's get. it. Let's get it. Let's go. You earned. it. Ladies and gentlemen, Sean Shiran. Nice. basically and I know there's potential. suits watching this show in their. offices somewhere. You didn't want Shams to be a guy. Okay,

Shams is a guy. He's the guy. He is. everything he kind of predicted. happening unfolding. The Kevin Durant. thing he said maybe the next few days. He thought there was a deal by the and. then there was just one piece I guess. that they were just like a standoff. which can happen in negotiations. I. think he was sweating on that one where. he's like I said it was going to be a. few days and we are we're kind of it's. next week already like he he gets like. very worried about but the amount of.

work he is putting in and has put in. it's like the dude is on it. He's on his. [ __ ] and I'm happy he's getting these. opportunities. Thankful they're putting. him on the show tonight. Just the Van. Valite uh tweet that he put out has 1.8. uh thousand retweets already on the. Vanvite extension. Yeah, the news makers. are the content creators in sports and. it's like Shams has earned his stripes. Even if you haven't seen him, he has. earned his stripes in these internet. streets, which is not easy. Not easy at. all at all. Seams has had to work at is. not it is hard in those streets. Well,

yeah. To that point, like he's had to. defend his reporting more than any. insider I can ever remember. Like he. puts stuff out, you know, and you you. got people like intimately involved in. it being like that's [ __ ] This guy. doesn't know what he's talking about. Then it happens, you know, and that part. kind of gets just gets washed away. It's. like it's another another W for Sean. But he's had to really go to bat for a. lot of the stuff that he knows to be. true. But, you know, it is what it is. And normally bingo PL said he was wrong. and PL was in the move. But like he he.

also normally the insiders have like a. team around him. Yeah. And they all come. out and say no, we stand by, right? I. don't think that was happening either. No, absolutely not. You know, I don't. think that was really happening for all. Shams. Welcome to the team. Also, hey, this is Guy says you're wrong. You're. wrong. So, retract it. Take it back. Welcome. Yeah. Welcome. Thankful for. you. Yeah. And all Shams has done is. just keep going. I appreciate jumps. He's always the same guy. He's the same. guy that was put on a tweet every day. about lunch. That's right. And he knows.

He's the same as that guy. He. legitimately knows. He does. He I guess. there were some uh maybe feathers. ruffled there whenever he was talking. about the Boston Celtics. Boston Celtics. win or lose this year. They're gonna. have to change a lot of things up there. Yeah. And everybody's like, they just. sold for six billion bucks, bub. They. just want shut up, Sean. You know, why. is this guy even talking about it? And. then you get through the apron talk and. they got new ownership. And then now. Tatum even, uh, with the Achilles, it's. like, uh, yeah, it looks like Boston is. thinking about maybe dropping back down. here and maybe trying to figure out what. the Yeah, it legitimately feels like.

down the Patriots were able to do it in. a salary cap era, but obviously a lot. more players, a lot different situation. the NBA, you know, because teams can get. like the Cadet, JD Dub, SGAA, that's a. big three. Gonna be hard to get a big. three unless you build a big three. You. have to draft them and you have to win. when those guys are rookies and in like. their third year cuz cuz like it's true, they they are not going to be able to. keep all three of those guys. The draft. might not even matter. Like the Celtics.

drafted Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum and. like granted the the way or when they. won was the biggest deal because it was. before Tatum signed his second deal, his. max contract to get $300 million, but. like even if you draft those guys, if. you don't win before those guys signed. max contracts, then you're kind of. screwed. Like Yeah, it's rookie. quarterback deal. Yeah, exactly. That's. where we're at right now with the NBA. And there's gonna be a lot of having to. adjust how you operate over in that. front office world. Especially if you're. on a team that the owner didn't care. Like the Phoenix Suns, Ishbia has gone.

on the record say, "Oh yeah, I don't. care how much money we spend. The fans. don't care how much money we spend. We. just want to win." And then all of a. sudden it's like, "Hey, we care now. So. we got to readjust how we do everything. around here. Good luck to the NBA. The. draft is tonight. We will obviously. watch it." Before we are joined by an. NBA champion. We got to get some NFL. news. Uh Travis Kelce uh was given real. game out at tight end university. His. hair looks phenomenally flowing. Great. Yeah. As a man who used to have the. middle part and that it kind of flow.

down like that for a long period of my. uh childhood. Watching that come back. hopefully through Travis Kelce is a. beautiful thing. But also strong hair. for an older lad. Strong head of hair. just like his brother Jason Kelsey. And. he's given real game to these young. tight ends and I appreciate and respect. that. It wasn't always that position. groups would work out together in the. offseason. You know, I think pass. rushers started getting a a summit. together. They kind of Von Miller, I. believe, was one of spearheaded. spearheaded people working together in. this thing. And what the tight ends have.

done is take it to a whole different. level. I love what they're doing. I also. love the fact that it feels like there's. real game being given out. And this is. just one video the NFL posted. And a lot. of people are going to say, "Well, he's. posted because it's Travis Kelce." It's. like Travis Kelce has given real [ __ ]. out right here to the younger generation. on how to be one of the most elusive. tight ends in the history. Probably the. most elusive tight end in the history of. sports. Yeah, this is real game with the. founders. It's him, uh, KD and Olsson. I. was a teammate at Olsson. I know he is. He is all ball. It's details. We hear. him on the calls when he's on the calls. with Fox. So, if you can be in that room.

with these type of guys, usually you. only get lucky enough if you're drafted. to one of these teams, you can actually. sit in a room or go to their house or. learn how to watch film from these guys. but spending some times a few some time. a few days with them, seeing how they. work out, seeing how their off. seasonasons are, uh, seeing how they. prepare for games, all the different. experiences these guys have gone. through. He's played in the biggest. games, biggest moments, been a part of a. dynasty. Um, seeing the game change. So, a lot of things that they can hear, they're probably hearing for the first. time and they can take that back and not. only for their game, help their room out.

on their team, man. So, I love what what. they're doing at for Titan University. A. lot of, you know, it's gr it's grown so. much. It's been four years now, but it's. huge now. And Taylor was on it. Bingo. Big night last night. Taylor Swift took. the stage in Nashville at the tight end. university party and uh tight end and. friends. And I'll tell you what, roof. got blown off the place as it should. Probably a lot of bros in there too. Oh. yeah. You know, at the tight end. university and you can't help but just. be like, "Holy [ __ ] Taylor Swift is. here. It's a beautiful thing." Taylor.

sporting Travis. Travis sporting Taylor. Feels like maybe. maybe they they are in law. They are. Did you get invited? We're so happy. What's that? Did you get I I was just. It's weird that you didn't go. I figured. you would have been there. Uh what do. you mean the show? There's a lot of. shows there. We could have I think I. assume we would have at some point. Yeah. I said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you. put Did you get invited?" I don't. remember a conversation happening. With. that being said, if we would have said,

"Hey, we'd like to go to Titan. University." We know George would have. let us down there. We know Tra would. have let us down there. We know Olsson. would have let us down there for sure. So that's on us more so on them. Sounds. like we're missing a great event over. there. That tight end university looks. amazing and uh we're happy they're. giving back to the football community. Now joining us, ladies and gentlemen, is. a man that sook happiness away from an. entire state. Okay. A man who's a twotime twotime NBA. champion. He was once voted the most. Italian in sports Italians. That's. right. Ladies and gentlemen, Oklahoma.

City Thunder legend Alex Carusa. Yeah, I'm You sound so excited to have. me, Pat. Appreciate it. I want to let. you know there was a moment of being. torn. Okay, I forget which game it was. in the series. You came in and just went. apeshit. Maybe game two, maybe. I I. forget when it was early in the series, you came in and were [ __ ] outrageous. Okay. I I I don't remember the exact. moment. I was pumped for you. I was. pumped for you. I'm like, "Holy [ __ ].

Caruso looks so cool with that headband. That fresh bald ass head looks so cool.". But also, he is balling out there. Then. immediately, uh, you continued to do it. and continued to do it and then. continued to do it and all I saw was you. take happiness away from my family and. my friends. So, yeah, I'm not exactly. thrilled about how the series ended up, but there was certainly an. acknowledgement of how you were playing. then and what you meant to that team. Congratulations, Caruso. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. I think I. think the great state of Indiana I think.

they had a lot of happiness over the. last two months and I don't think it's. uh I don't think it's it's all negative. in the end. You know, they had a couple. good month and a half, month and three. weeks. Uh but there can only be one. winner. Yeah, it was a great run. We had. a great time following though. Me trying. to me trying to ignore you giving rally. speeches in the start of the third or. into the third beginning of the fourth. every game in Indiana was really hard. I'm not going to lie. So funny you say. that because um when those things happen. like literally I'm not told beforehand.

I'm just kind of handed the microphone. asked if I would do it. Kind of feel. obligated. Now I have an opportunity to. do it. Peer pressure you. Yeah, it is. kind of one of those. But with that. being said, do the thing. Okay, I'll do. the thing. You want I think you had 13. points in the third quarter. Maybe 14. points in the third quarter. I forget. what it was it was. And I was going to. start one of them with Caruso. Relax. And then I was going to go right into. it. But I didn't want to start any [ __ ]. I really didn't want to I didn't want to. start any [ __ ] I didn't want to get any. trouble. I'd already you know uh had. some I respect the game. Respect the.

game. Let's talk about your Oklahoma. City team, man. Obviously once you guys. win, we as a Pacer bias show go through. all the different records in the history. in the most 10 point or 15 point win, 20. point wins, 30 point wins. Uh maybe the. one of the most dominant seasons a team. has had in any sport. Why do you think. that is the case? I know that's such. like a cliche question, but actuality is. it because of how close you guys are? Did you know it going into the season? Like when did you feel as if this team.

was going to be historic? Yeah. I mean, honestly, I I mean, they. obviously like they were the one seed. last year, even before me and. Hartinstein joined the team. So, like. they had had a great kind of foundation. to build on with just like the talent. they had and like how good the team was. And then I think me and Hart just fit. in. so well with the roles that we. played. Um, and like at the end of the. day, dude, it comes down like we're just. just a talented team. Like we're. literally like through the season we won. 68 games and we played, you know, most.

nights we played 10 guys. You know, if. somebody sat out or our bigs were hurt, we we played with no centers in one. games. Like all that kind of got. overlooked cuz it's just the season and. you know, it's one game after another. and you're just rolling through it. But. like we were we were dominating teams in. the regular season and like not playing. fourth quarters and uh I think some of. that got swept under the rug because of. obviously the it is a smaller market. Oklahoma City and like we got we got. pushed in the national TV games in.

February because we were so good and. nobody expected it so they had to add. like five to 10 games where we're. playing like the Cavs and the Celtics. and uh in Denver and the Lakers on TV. Uh, and I think it's just it's just a. testament to the organization and then. the dudes on this team, man. We're just. we're good players, you know, like. that's at the end of the day that's what. it is. A bunch of dogs and really good. players. Yeah, it was evident as we were. watching him in person. It was very cool. to see how your team operates. And I. think you were talking about that. Celtics game in Boston, I believe, uh,

at the end of the season when they put. you on national television because the. storyline now we're not the NBA coverage. show. You know that. I got We got some. good jumpers in here though. That's some. good jumping. We've been talking a lot. of NBA. Couple good clips. Couple good. clips. Are you talking about my like a. clip like like that type of clip or you. talking about like shooter shooter. Okay, good. Yeah. I didn't know if you. were talking about like me making one. shot as a clip and then the 10 misses, you know. So Oh, well you got a couple. of those two. Okay. Listen, Pon, you're.

a champion. All right. I understand. you're a champion this entire I would. feel good about our show though in a. full basketball game against any show. No doubt. We would like that to be. known. Any show. That's it. Any sport. coverage, too. We would put five. together against any show. So, that is. an open uh challenge. Even though we are. not an NBA show, we know that could be a. series. You know, you could put that. together. That could uh that could do. some numbers on YouTube or on on a uh on. a certain platform. Yeah. But some of.

those shows the guys are so old, you. know, it'd be tough to get them up in. We'd have to figure that out. Small. sample size league. Got it. Yeah. And I. did factor that into why we would win. Sure. So for for the teams that have. good basketball players, those guys are. a little bit older. Think we could maybe. game 21. Yeah. This game is 21 and it is. full court. I don't know. Yeah, we're. going to have to run. Got to be full. court. Yeah, we're going to have to run. We don't need a center either. Yeah, we're going to play like them against. some of those teams. Uh but the whole. convers.

Yeah, maybe drop the the rim too. 8 ft. Anyways, I mean there's a lot of. conversations we can have later about. that. We respect basketball. play. basketball. We're not necessarily an NBA. coverage show, but we do feel like. towards the end of it as we're following. along with the Pacers in our city and. we're friends with Tyrese and the boys, it's like the conversation was nobody's. talking about this OKC team. Nobody's. talking about this OKC team. That was. kind of the convo about you guys. Then. obviously SGA, this guy's the MVP. This. guy's the MVP. Clear MVP. Do you think.

next year Oklahoma City will give more. respect throughout the entirety of the. season? And do you think SGA can keep up. with what he's doing right now? He's. outrageous to watch play basketball. Yeah, I mean the the whole thing with. pro sports for the most part, right? Like 95% of pro sports, you have to like. you have to earn it. So like whatever, you know, until you win, they don't. really care about you. They're not going. to put you on TV. They're not going to. talk about you. But once you win, you. can't ignore it. So from that aspect, we.

better play on Christmas next year. That. was No, you need Christmas Eve, brother. NFL took Christmas. You guys got. Christmas Eve. Sorry about it. Yeah, sorry about it. I would love to play. Christmas morning, have the rest of the. day to watch football. Okay. And I And. to be clear, I'd like to watch your team. play. You guys are a fun team to play. basketball. And can you can you. elaborate about SGA a little bit? You've. been around now. Obviously, you're. you're old. You're they call you ank, I. believe. Yeah. Yeah. You're old. Yeah, you're old in in that locker room. Can. you talk about SGA a little bit? What.

makes him different? why he is who he is. behind the scenes that maybe we don't. know about. Yeah, I think I think he does a great. job of kind of protecting his uh you. know his his lifestyle and his uh his. home base because everybody you know. he's a pretty soft spoken guy. you know, he you don't see him, you know, he's not. on the court screaming, complaining to. refs, doing all that. Like, he's just. strictly about business when it comes to. basketball. And that business for him is. winning. And like, that's the that's the.

coolest thing, I think, for me is like. he had all these games where, you know, there was a couple times this year, like. I said, where we would blow people out. and we wouldn't play the fourth quarter. And he's like he's like upset, like he. wants to go in and play the game still. and like not for not in a sense of like. I got to get to 40 points or something, but like he literally like which he he. would have already anyway. Um, but he's. like, "If I'm going to be here, like, we. might as well get after it and play.". And I think that was I saw that early in. the year and and just the longer I went. on through the season, like his.

competitive fire, dude, it's it's second. to none, you know? And I mean, that's. the reason he's MVP makes it look. effortless, all that stuff. Like, he's. got the work ethic that all the greats. have and then that competitive that. competitive spirit to to be the best and. want to do it again and again. Um, it's. fun to be around, man. He's fun play. with. Did you teach him the push off or. he already have that whenever you got. there? No, I think he got that from. Michael Jordan. Smart. Smart. Yeah. Learn from the.

great. Debut has a question for you. Yeah. You're a twotime champ now. Didn't. get the parade the first time around, obviously because of co but uh how was. the parade? I know I saw a lot of. propaganda on the internet saying it was. [ __ ] but then I saw some real. pictures, some real videos. How was that. experience for the for the whole state. to come out celebrate you guys? The. parade was lit, dude. I'm not going to. lie. It was uh it was it was shortlived. for me. I I was asleep by about 2 3 p.m. Um. body body went to auto shut off or auto.

shut down. I got a lot of sleep. I got a lot of. sleep from the end of the parade till. this morning. But no, the parade was. sick, man. They uh I think it was they. said it was something like 2 mi long. And you can see like this is the end. just at the the park that we went to, but like it was 10 to 15 20 people deep. on both sides the entire time. Uh it was. loud. Like I I didn't realize, you know, being out in the street. I didn't I. didn't really know what the noise was. going to be like, what that like you.

said, first time for me, so I'm figuring. it out. Um but man, it was sick. There. was some there were some cool signs. There was one that said uh Caruso for. Pope. So I might have a Yeah. post. career plan. I might I might move over. and get to the the true Italian roots. and get to the Vatican. Okay. How. Italian are you super duper Italian? You. look Italian as [ __ ] I will say. Yeah, my uh my dad's 50%. His mom was my. grandma was 100%. Do you know whereabouts?

Yeah, one of my aunts traced back um to. like Sicily or just like a small town. outside of Sicily. So, we have like. roots and ancestors back through there. I don't know specifics to that, but like. what did you win? You won the super. Italian of the Italian days. Do you. remember this? Yeah. What was what was. the uh what was the Italian award you. won? I don't know. You're telling me. I don't. know what you're talking about. He was. on the allian. I thought it was like. Italian American athlete of the year or. something. Something like that. They.

gave you a pinky ring, right? Internet. anointed. Yeah. No, no, I think it was. an actual I saw an actual graph. I think. you're owed a pinky ring or two now uh. to go next to the other championship. ring. Something to look into. Uh Connor. has a question for you about a guy that. we've learned a lot about here. Yeah, Caruso, congratulations again on your. second trophy. First one for your coach, uh Coach Dags. Some people have said. that you're supposed to say Dagenalt. I've heard it said other ways as well. What's he like as a guy? Uh Darius kind.

of reminded himself and us that he was. giving him buckets at Yukon when he was. working for Calhoun back in the day. But. what is Coach Dags like? That's a crazy. pull. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Debut played. Yukon with him. I forgot he was at. Yukon. That's that's a great pull. Team. manager. Team manager. Coach Dags elbow. Debut under the hoop one time. Also, I. think I think we'll officially start. calling him Coach Dags and and we'll. we'll get rid of Dag. I got another idea. for you though before we go to D. You're.

not going to like it. Yeah, we'll we'll. get there maybe later. Okay. What was the question? Oh, no. You. don't call him Coach Dags, just so we. know. No, no, no. Okay, great. Sean's. Sean's walked us right into that. He. did. He We We Tell him we did not mean. any disrespect. If he knows we exist, he. should. We're Yukon bubs. Good name. Ask. him. I'm going to call him that and he's. going to hate it and it's going to be. great. Don't Let's not cause any strife. Actually, maybe. Yeah. starting now. Plant the seeds. You guys hating each. other over there. That'd be good. We'll.

see you in the finals next year. Yeah. To the entirety. Uh what's he like. though? I think is just kind of the. question. Coach Dags. Yeah. Uh Coach. Dags, man. He's he's he's a unique dude. Like he's like any of the great coaches. in the league nowadays. Like he's a he's. a basketball junkie, basketball nerd. Like when we uh when we went to the cup. in Vegas this year, you know, everyone. like you know, you you you'll venture. around the city. You might gamble a. little, you might go to dinners. Um I.

don't think he left his hotel room. He. was just cutting up film watching. basketball and like he was annoyed that. we had to go to Vegas for the cup. Um. but that's just kind of the guy he is. Like he's a ultimate problem solver. Um, and honestly for being, you know, a. younger coach, you say less established. I mean, he's won coach of the year and a. chip now, but, you know, new new head. coach in the league, first real like big. job besides the G- League team. Um, he. does a crazy crazy good job of like.

having a clear concise message for the. team and then holding guys accountable. like from Shay down to our two-way guys. like it doesn't matter who it is, everyone, you know, is is reprimanded. the same, encouraged the same, motivated. the same, and uh I just it goes a long. way for the team dynamic, you know, in. pro sports to be able to hold everybody. to the same standard if somebody's. messing up. Yeah, it's huge for our. sport. I assume it's huge for yours as. well. We have nothing but respect for. him and your entire squad. We got a. heart out in about 45 seconds. So, in 10.

seconds or less, can you say something. good about Indiana and the crowd and. maybe the team? Uh, the weather was. beautiful in Indiana while we were. there. Um, I really appreciate that. The. fans were a little rude, so I'll stay. away from them. But the team the team. does deserve a round of applause. The. team had a crazy good run. Um, I think. they overachieved in everybody else's. eyes, but I think from the inside. looking out, they just played their game. and they're they were a tough out. Like. they it was not easy. We had to play.

good basketball to beat them. So, hats. off to them. Um, Tyrese Pascal, all. those guys, Coach Carell, and hats off to you, champ. Two time. We'll see you next time. We'll see you. next hour. The College Football Playoff is. obviously in the middle of a transition. era, but we go back in time into a movie. like setting to battle in the Big 10 to. see who gets to move on and who goes.

home. Our UFO just flew over top. smoke. and in the national anthem and on a day. in the United States of America where a. heinous act has happened. It's a nice. reminder that we'll get your ass. You. might take a shot but you're never going. to win a 10 for Howard. Same exact play. action. Drops it off to Jeremiah Smith. Jeremiah Smith first touches a.

touchdown. time shot down middle. touchdown. See the split safety is right here. So. Will Howard knows his room, looks him. off, steps up in the pocket. Great. throw. Takes a shot and what happens? Jerem comes up with the ball. Hand off. to the left. Jordan James. Howard time. Oh no. Jeremiah Smith's. wide ass open.

Ohio State is kicking the living shite. out of the Oregon Ducks. If Jeremiah. Smith is on your team, I think you can. win every game. Tavon Henderson. He's at the 30, the 20, the 10. Touchd. running, spinning, kicking. This Buckeye's team is playing. football at a level nobody else in the. country is playing right now. Now. there's a low snap. Rolls left throws.

bounce to the right. Jeremiah left on. the field. So that's another first down. Thus far this game has been absolutely. shove. Stop. Oh my god. Wow. That is so beautiful. You got Matt Hardy. on the left there. [Applause].

I see it the 47. Unfortunately, my. youngest son uh puked all over himself, went to the hospital, so my whole. family's not here anymore to hear that. But I'm getting some updates every once. in a while. He seems to be doing not. much better. He puked over the whole section. Jeez. Instant urgent care. Instant hospital. Oh no. What type of shite was he eating? Is someone making salmon down here? We. came down here and smelled like fish. Look at this. For those that have never. been here, I would recommend coming and. checking it out. Although this. particular game was absolute.

[Applause]. [Music]. Hello beautiful people. and welcome back to our humble the boat. the thundown on this one champion. Wednesday June 25th 2025 hour two of the. program begins now. champions are joining us in the first. hour we had Alex Caruso we just got off. a call with him he's awesome every time. he's been on the show he's been great. he's now a twotime twotime NBA champion.

and one time super duper Italian. American of the Boom. He's awesome. Also. an avid golfer. Excited to see how he. spends his off season. And what can. Oklahoma City be going forward? Feels. like they don't have as many contract. issues as some of the other teams have. with his second apron, first apron talk. with trades in abundance. And tonight's. NBA draft should be a spectacle as. Cooper flag gets coordinated as a Dallas. Maverick and maybe all hell breaks loose. with teams trying to unload massive. contracts. The talks of tables here at. Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. Command.

that jacket. Thank you. might never come. off. This might be my final fit of my. life. Could you imagine you sew those. things on? I actually could imagine it. because I've been picturing myself. sleeping in it. Got a mirror right above the bed. Yeah. Bingo. Just in case you wake up, I want. to see how good I look. Uh-huh. Maybe. put one on the sidewall, too. Maybe just. put yourself in like a severance type. box. Yeah. With all mirrors. Might not. be able to sleep too hard.

You or me to sleep. me. Okay. Not the one half of the hammer. Cowboys. AP Tone is here. I get it. No BS. No BS. What did he say? He said no BS. I look. [ __ ] awesome. That's Yeah, I'm a. cool. I'm the man. Yeah, there it is. This really has brought out a whole new. you. This is like when four loco was. running through Nick Moraldo's veins. Sure. It was a whole new man. I mean,

legitimately, I would go home. Uh, I was. living in Indianapolis. I'd go home on. the weekends. I'd accidentally get home. a little bit later and it'd be a brand. new Nick out there on the dance floor. Who? Who is this? What's going on here? And then, bro, four locos. It's the. greatest thing on earth. Is this how you. always feel? This is how I feel. This is. amazing. On top of the bar down, leading. a twostep. Then the next morning, guys. are acting like [ __ ] out there. Tell. you what, now that you bring it up, that's when I became friends with Nick. I was sold a false bill of goods. Well, I think if if normal everyday Nick saw.

four loco Nick, he'd say, "What a. [ __ ] jagoff that guy is." Yeah, that. guy was a a bit of a dick. But although. I mean I'm thinking about now, I guess. all I have to do is just start wearing a. leather jacket. No, we don't know if. that's going to make you feel that way. For real. No, what we just I'm saying. that Connor feels how you felt during. your four loco run. It seems like you. put that jacket on. Whole new person. It's been all morning, has it not? Nine. year NFL vet Darius J. I would imagine. if you drink a four loco right now, that. jacket just kind of just materializes.

Just comes out of nowhere. But you got. to get a gimmick uh underneath. Got to. change your shirt. Oh, debut. Debut. Debut. You're thinking too small. I. think normally a plain white shirt goes. underneath. You're thinking too small. Thinking way too small. Let's just let's. just say tomorrow if I have this on. again, maybe I don't have a hat on. No. Oh, really? Welcome back. Back again. Yeah, I I've. done it a few times, but I'm not saying. just no hat. I'm saying maybe there's. something else in my hair. Oh, we're. wearing bandana for sure. Maybe a.

bandana. Maybe I just go full slick. Maybe Alex Caruso. Maybe I go headband. on a Harley. Maybe you do go full. Gotcha. Motorcycle helmet. Full slick. back. All of a sudden, I'm the Italian. Maybe you just burst into song. Nah, maybe you go do May. Maybe. Yeah. Tie. that thing. Let it hang too. I could do. that. Not really my style. I'll never. have done one, but I could I could wave. check it. We're excited to see how. you've never done this before either, I. don't think. And now we're learning. about a brand new you. And uh for. anybody that's listening maybe for the. first time, uh you're thinking to.

yourself, "Wow, this show is terrible.". I want to let you know we talked to. somebody this morning that doesn't. believe that is the case. We caught up. with the Travelers Championship Champion. this morning. Boys, I just want to tell you, I'm so. proud of what you guys have done. I I. followed you from the bar stool days and. like holy [ __ ] I mean you are the guy. It's so it's just amazing to watch. We. are not the guy. You are the guy. You. are the guy. I'm telling you you are. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm telling you.

We're going to keep that in because. you're so kind to us right there. Very. nice. You uh this is a traveler's top. here. Ladies and gentlemen, Keegan. Bradley, uh thank you for joining us. We saw your. comment on the Instagram and uh as soon. as we saw that the group texts lit up. We're like, "Hey, we think Captain. America actually we think Captain. America might know the program and it. sounds like you do." So, we want to say. thank you for paying attention to what. we've been doing and all those kind. things you said to us. Not real. Let's. say some real things back to you. You're.

the guy. Hey, let's go. You go. Let's. go. What a win. What a win that was, man. It was unreal because I I didn't. really play my best all day and I felt. like I was behind the whole day. I'd get. to one shot and I'd go down to two and. then eventually to three. But look at. this beauty right here. I can't stop. watching it. I just like, you know, sometimes when you're coming down the. stretch of tournaments, you feel great. and sometimes you don't. And this was. just one of those where I was like, I. felt just tough as nails and uh what a.

great pun. I can't stop watching it. So. fun. Yeah. Yeah. What a moment. Obviously the celebration immediately. afterwards uh with not only you but the. entire area, the entire region and I. would say the entire United States of. America. We heard the USA chance. throughout and obviously the captain of. the Rder Cup team has been a pretty. prevalent conversation for you which we. will certainly dive into at some point. But while you're watching Tommy. Fleetwood kind of stay, he was hanging. stagnant kind of. You were moving then.

he was dropping and we're getting closer. and then you were moving. You said you. felt invincible or whatever. Is there a. real like moment there? Is there a shot. that you hit where you're like, "Wait a. minute, ball looks bigger right now.". And uh then as you're watching Tommy. Fleetwood, do you do you always believe. you can catch him? Do you think that. he's going to like What is your thoughts. on trying to attack on a Sunday when. you're down four strokes, three strokes? I forget what it was. Three. Three. strokes at 15 or whatever. To to be. honest with you, I when I hit that shot. in the bunker, it plugged in the back.

bunker on 14. I was so pissed at myself. cuz that that was just a horrific shot. And I I fell back to three behind which. was which was not good. And but I knew I. kept telling myself like these last. three or four holes at at Hartford there. there's water everywhere. There's. disasters waiting. There's also a lot of. birdies. And when I made that putt on 15. that I had to make it. And when that. went in and the crowd was excited, I. knew like, okay, I'm still in this. I. still got this. And I and I, you know, I.

knew I had to hit perfect shots coming. in and I really did. You made golf very. exciting there for a bit. And obviously. the ratings showcase that. They're. saying Captain America is a needle. mover. Okay. They're saying, "Hey, if. you're wondering on how this did last. year versus how it did this year, here. is the numbers. It was way up. obviously." And uh I think it was. because it was exhilarating golf. How. good does that feel to be a part of? How. good, like legitimately, you know, how. good does that feel going into a Sunday. big thing and know that it's not just. for you, not just for the PJ, but for.

golf as a whole almost every weekend. carrying the summer. It really, it. really incredible. Like there's some. there's some things that happen in my. life that I am just, it's hard to wrap. my head around. And you know, growing up. in New England, going to that tournament. as a 13-year-old kid, and then you know, being on that 18th hole with the whole. crowd rooting for me and you know what, one of the craziest things happened to. me on on that 18th hole that I've never. experienced or seen is I hit my drive. off the tea and I'm going to put my club.

back in the bag and I heard this huge. roar and I like turned around like what. what is that? And I realized it was just. my ball hitting the fairway and I had. never experienced that. And you know, then to see the ratings, like I got to. be honest with you, we looked like I was. excited. I was like, "Wow, that feels. that's nice." But I uh I I I'm proud to. play in the PGA Tour, you know? I'm. proud to to have Travelers be quote. unquote my home event. It's just turned. into such a monster a monster deal. Yeah. Signature event or elevated event, I believe, is the exact title now, in.

this new PGA world that we're in. And uh. you saying, "What was that? That was for. my drive." Okay, we're doing that. I. couldn't even imagine what it felt like. whenever you hit that thing to six feet. because you you were just we were just. watching you uh kind of relive that. You. knew birdie ties. I don't know if you. knew birdie also potentially wins this. thing outright depending upon what. happens as that's flying. You don't. think that's a little short. Are you. dancing with the sand or in your mind. you know you hit it perfectly? And I. thought it was perfect the whole time. I. really did. I might go in. I had I had.

139 hole and it was a little into the. wind and I I thought it was playing. about 146 147 and I have a swing that I. I call ear to ear. It's a it's a it's a. feel that I have where I swing to the my. ear in the back and ear through and it. goes 146 yards and I practice this shot. with my nine iron. I do it with my eight. as well. But I I have hit this shot. 10,000 20,000 times and I get there it's. a ear to ear nine iron and I step over. it and I hit it. And as a pro, as as you. know, with kicking, you know, when you. get one right or you know when you hit a.

good shot or a good a kick and like I it. was perfect and like so I I normally am. such a nervous wreck playing that when I. hit a shot, I'm leaning everywhere and. like spazzing out. And if you watch me, I'm just doing like a partial lean. And. when it's the partial lean, that means. it's right at it. Oh, this is one he's. like he it's tracking. He likes it. Uh. ear to ear 146. We Yeah, we get over the. ball. We heard the applause. I knew I. hit it pretty good. We get over the ball. and then all of a sudden, this is ear to.

ear, baby. We We're at one point. I've. done this 2,000 I've done this a 100,000. times. What am I I really have. I really. have. Like I I I practice this at at the. Grove. I I I I like to have specific uh. feels for each number that I hit. And. And as we get better as pros, we're. really trying to find just these tiny. minor things to get better and better. And for me, it's it's distance control. And I know when I make that ear to ear. with a 9 iron, it's going to go 146. It's not going to go 148 or 143. 143. goes in the bunker and I lose the.

tournament. So like that that's what we. practice. That's that's you know when we. get to this level getting that. fractionally better. That's what we want. to do. 9 ft difference. Yeah. It' be pretty. cool to be able to control it. That's. what I'm going work towards. I'm going. work towards my ear to ear because right. now I'm just trying to work club to. [ __ ] ball, brother. I'm just trying. to make I'm just trying to make contact. The boys have some questions for you, Keegan. We're all massive fans. Debbut. has one. Yeah. Can you speak stand on. that? Uh, I've been playing golf now a. couple years. I watch pretty much every. aspect of it. Live PGA, TGL. Uh, any.

tips for us? I'm just trying to break. 80. I'm never going to get to you guys. level, but any tips for us? We always. hear the 150 and in chipping and. putting, but anything else you got for. us? Yeah, I mean, you always want to. practice your short game, especially as. an amter. You know, you want to get good. at find a shot that you can hit around. the green that you know is going to get. on the green. You don't have to try to. chip to two feet, but like get have a. club, a pitching wedge, a sand wedge, whatever it is, and just get that on the. green. Also, the biggest mistake I see. am is they never hit enough club. If you.

watch on the PJ tour, you see a lot of. guys getting pin high or getting, you. know, they're they're never coming up a. club short normally. And when I play. with amits and proams, they're hitting. they're, you know, 30 yards short of the. green and and you know, their distance. control is is horrific. No, that's cuz I. know my seven iron is going 175. Good. year. Yeah. And if it it's not going to. go 157 yards cuz I'm going to duff it, not hit it clean, and then it's not. going to go in the right direction, then. I'm going to be a full two clubs. shortness entire thing. I think the.

issue with most amateurs is uh we have. no idea how far this thing's going each. time. You just mentioned the ear to ear. thing. Think about that. Think about. what he is thinking about over the head. 146. Okay. So, Mike, it's a nine iron, but it's not a full nine iron. Actually, it's uh ear to ear n uh swing on this. entire thing. And I'm going to work on. just that swing. Yeah. For 10,000 times. 10,000 times. Then 149. [ __ ] We got a. whole different one. We're going top of.

ear to bottom of here on this side. Like. that's an insane amount of work that you. guys have put into your craft. And just. know that it we all have massive respect. because of how impossible this sport is. Now, let's talk about it even more. A. lot of golfers come from warm weather. climates. feels like if we read some. Instagram captions in the way you speak, you were proud that that is not the case. for you. Boston Connor has a question. for you, Keegan. Yeah, Keegan's massive. fan. It's it's an honor to talk to you. Pat mentioned it right there. Huge fan. of Noah Khan, the representation you.

used on your last uh social media post. Very nice, very nice ode uh to New. England, if you will. With that being. said, do you feel a sense of pride, you. know, coming from New England? Can you. talk about that a little bit? I know, you know, you were born in Vermont. You. grew up in went to high school in. Hopington. Shout out. But how uh how do. you feel? It's in Massachusetts. It's in. Massachusetts. Some people get it. If. you don't get it, then you never will. Uh how do you feel being kind of that. New England guy on tour? Well, to be. honest with you, that's everything for.

me. I I you know, I'm so proud to be. where I'm from and I'm so proud to, you. know, have taken the path that I took to. get to the tour. There's no one from New. England out here. No, certainly no one. from Vermont. Uh, and then I like you. said, I moved to to Hopkin in high. school. But that's everything. Like I. feel like us New Englanders, we have a. bit of an edge about us and especially. when you grow up uh in the golf world. where I had to I couldn't play golf for. five, six months. So yeah, uh, you know, I was getting I was getting beat by a. lot of the the kids from Florida and.

Georgia. But as I got older, you know, and I and I started to be able to play. more year round, I started to to get. better and beat them. But being from New. England is my favorite thing that I just. love it. It's everything that I want to. embody and I feel an obligation to. represent uh the golfers of New England. and the junior players because that was. me growing up. You should see Connor. right now. I mean, some people just get. it, man. He's wearing this ridiculous. leather jacket. I love it. So jacked up. about it. You talked about, you know, the five months not being able to play.

That's why like in the leadup I. mentioned you don't see a lot of like. golfers from the north. It's like, well, why not? Well, cuz all year round we. can't do it. Track similar situation. I. think even like you see baseball. I. think there's a lot of baseball from the. south. Like a lot of people in the north. that play baseball travel down to the. south because the weather is a ass. beating. But if you can beat that. northern wind. That's right. If you can. handle that cold, I think it sets you up. for success. Ain't that right, Dud? Damn. right. New Englander, too. Yeah. Oh, South Florida boy. College. Went to.

college up there. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot. about that. Patriots. I forgot about. that. Yeah. I was up there for about a. good six, seven years. Yeah. Beautiful. That's I knew I knew I like that about. you. I can tell. Hell yeah. beautiful. part of the country. Speaking of the. country, uh all eyes are on you, brother. Tone has a question. Yeah, Keegan, all eyes uh are on you. A lot of. the conversation this week after the win. uh that put you up into the RDER Cup. standings has been about the RDER Cup. And of course, you have the honor of. being the US RDER Cup captain at Beth. Paige Black this year. Um, so my.

question originally was gonna be, you. know, when you're picking the captain's. picks, have you thought about how you're. going to pick, whether, you know, it's a. a guy who's coming in off of a. tournament win, who's playing well, or. someone like, you know, I mean, JT's in. there now, but like JT, Patrick Reed, Brooks, Kepka, guys who who have always. performed well at Ryder Cups. Do you. know how you're going to make that. decision? And if you have to make that. decision decision, are you have to put. put yourself in there as well? Well, certainly. Certainly last week has.

changed the mindset a little bit. I. never was going to play never was going. to pick myself if I hadn't won. I had. been saying the whole time I got to be. in the top six to play. But we're going. to we're going to see. I'm going to do. whatever I think is best for the team. I'm not sure what that is yet. And when. in in picking the team, you know, we we. going to go with who's playing the best, but also who we know can handle the the. the situation, but playing a REDR cup at. Beth Page is going to be extreme. Uh. there's going to be a lot of excited. fans and we, you know, there's there's. definitely players that we know that can.

handle that atmosphere, but we also want. to take the guys that are playing the. best. We got a lot of guys that haven't. played RDER Cups that are playing. incredible golf and we want them on our. team. So, whenever you're building a. team, do you think about camaraderie, chemistry? Does that matter? Cuz like in. our team sports, No, no, I don't want to. say are like you guys don't have a team. event. We're talking about one that you. have, but it is very isolated. It feels. like in your day-to-day professionals. now. You got your team of, you know, your swing coach, strength coach, everything like that. But I'm talking. about, you get it, okay? For us, we need. somebody that's able to bring the vibes.

Okay? We need a vibes guy if there's. potential down. We need uh some veterans. that maybe have some experience, maybe. some young guns, maybe some guys that. are are great at this, maybe not great. at this. If we get a weather day, do we. need to think about having some maybe. some weather players as well? Like, how. much of all that other [ __ ] is going. into the conversation of who's on the. team as well? And by [ __ ] I mean like. very important stuff, but you know what. I'm saying? Not just like how each. week's going. Yeah. I mean, we all those. things factor in. I I think the only. sport that can sort of uh compare to the.

the RDER Cup is the USA men's basketball. Olympic team because it's you you're. you're you're coming together quick. You're not with each other the whole. year. Um it's 12 alpha players. you. know, we don't have role players on our. uh RDER Cup team and and USA basketball. really doesn't either. So, I've been. really leaning in on uh Olympic teams. for basketball, Olympic coaches that. have have coached the Olympic basketball. team because I think the parallels are. really similar. You have to figure out.

these personalities that are alpha alpha. dogs that are we're used to playing. against each other every week that we. need to come together quickly and learn, you know, how we're going to do this. together. And we're going to bring an. attitude to Beth Page. This is this is. we're going to rep we're representing. the people of Beth Page. This is a. public golf course. They're proud of. this place. This is their home course. and we have to embody that. Yeah. America, you know, that we definitely we. need every part about that. Uh Tone just. mentioned Jordan. Obviously, we got a. tie in there. Have we been uh leaning on. uh others, you know, and how we could.

potentially lead a squad? You talk about. Olympic basketball team. There was one. uh that was certainly one he was a part. of in the dream team. Pretty big deal. I. think put basketball into the world that. it's at now. Uh, have you been me? Have. you been talking to anybody outside. sport? Wayne Gretzky maybe. You know, let's go. Let's get some Wo thoughts in. here. Coaches maybe. How we reaching out. to other sports? What? Bill Bichc. obviously New Englander down there in. Carolina. Do we reach out to him? He's a. Jordan brand guy now. You see him? He's. got all his cut up [ __ ] Jordan [ __ ]. Now, uh, has there been any of those.

conversations, Coach Cap? Sorry. Yes, we. I'm talking to everybody. every coach I. know, every player I know. And you know. the a strange thing about this life that. I've learned that I've lived is I've. grown up and have been able to meet my. idols and in a few instances become. friends with them as as Michael. And. when you when you grow up and you meet. Michael and you get to be friends with. them, you realize this guy is the. greatest guy ever and he's someone that. I can lean on always. He's always there. for me. He doesn't want any credit. He.

just wants to help the team. And you. know, I think that's a message as well. to our team is that, you know, we're. going to do whatever we can to just win. the RDER Cup, whatever that is. It could. be a small thing, could be a big thing. You know, a gesture now, the smallest. gestures now can make the biggest. difference in September. And we we we. lean in. I'm leaning. I'm cashing in all. my chips. I'm talking to every coach I. I've ever met. I'm talking to every. player that I got in my phone. I'm. talking to Brady. I'm I'm picking. everybody's brain that I can to just if.

maybe one little thing can help us, that's all that matters. Let's go win. this, huh? Need to Let's go win this. thing. And also, good luck this weekend. I think you have the third best odds uh. to go back to back. Uh we can't wait to. watch and congratulations on everything. And thank you for being cool to us. We. very much appreciate that. Thank you, boys. I'm so proud of what you've done. But I uh I this has been great for me to. come on here. I've watched you guys and. this is awesome. We're proud of you. Proud of you.

In the. moment, I'm like, let's not talk about. that. Let's keep it moving. I appreciate. him lying to us to make us feel good. And I appreciate him following along. And I appreciate the fact that he's got. some tough decisions to make. Sounds.

like he's like, you know, maybe if I do. keep playing good. Maybe I have earned a. right to be on the RDER Cup team as. captain. If I'm not, I'm not. He said. he's taking everything into account. We. can't wait to see that. That is an event. that the world falls in love with. because it's golf with uh hockey. atmosphere. Yes. You know, it's golf. with football. It's golf with a crowd. that is on top of you basically. and. it's promoted that way. And then we see. big moments cuz it's all the superstars. taking on all the other superstars in. different fashions, different styles.

than what we see on the week-toeek. bases. The RDER Cup's awesome. I. remember we broke the news uh when the. Ryder Cup was happening months ahead of. time. You remember that? Was that the. president? I think it was the It wasn't. even the Rup Jim Zurich was going to be. the President's Cup, you know, captain. It hasn't happened yet. 36 months from. when we had the conversation. It was. sold to us, though. Big deal. Big deal. Big deal. You want to do this? Sure. We'll do it for golf. We love golf.

Uh joining us now, ladies and. gentlemen, is a man who is a college. football national champion, Super Bowl. champion, Rot Cup winner yesterday. Had. a real high, real tight haircut. Yeah, very a little higher. I was almost. worried about him. What? I thought it. looked good. See, I was almost worried. in the sense where it's like, hey, that.

this isn't the cut I asked for. I get. the same thing every time. Oh, you think. maybe a little bit of a slip of the. hand? Yeah. Why is my Why does my hair. look like that? Well, because on those. high fades, as somebody who does get. faded up if on one side they. accidentally he he Okay, now we got to. go all the way to the other side. And if. you just so happen to he he on that. side, guess what? We're climbing now. We're doing this game on top of a. baseball bat, you know, and your but. your fate all of a sudden sits like kid. and played down there house, you know, and just sitting up on the top. That. wasn't what happened to age. Okay. I.

don't think that's what happened to. Jordan. Ladies and gentlemen, AJ Hawk, that's not what happened to you, AJ. That's not No, no, no. I I knew it was. going to be a little time between cut, so I said, "Take it low. We got to take. it tight." Okay. Take it high, take it. low. It looks good. I think I think it's. a good summer cut. Especially you're. glowing. Have you been outside? How's. life been over there in Ohio? Yeah, I've. been outside a bit. You know, kids have. activities out there. It's 95 and humid, so I'm I'm a trooper on the sidelines. But yeah, it's uh it's been good, man. Fun. Summertime is good and football. season is is right around the corner. I.

keep telling myself that. How many days. until NFL game? Uh we were 71 days away. today. Okay. So we are right around the. corner. I believe I saw a percentage too. of how far into the offseason we were. 64% through the off season as of the. beginning of this week. But remember the. end of the season uh of the offseason. there like 15% of it is training camp. and actual [ __ ] You know, it's not. until the regular season. So you need to. deduce 15%. It's actually 85% as a. whole. So 64% you would add probably 15%.

to that. So now all of a sudden you got. 79%. How we doing? Keep it moving. We're. closer to football than we thought we. were going to be. And that's some. Steiner math for you right there. Bingo. To your point 71 feels like a lot of. days but we are less than a month to. training camps. So that feels there's a. football game next month boys. Okay. So. here we are. Don't do this to yourself. though. This is why we count days. Mhm. Because all these fun things that we're. talking about. But it's going to be. great to see training camp and a. football game in July like Foxy. We.

patting the drum. The only news at. training camp is usually bad news with. injuries. Training camp news. Okay. So. Drake May how that comes out, you're not. going to be pumped. Exactly. We're. certainly pumped. That that that that's. person to person, you know, that that's. that's not like actual things that you. can be pumped about. That football game. at the end of July, Fox, I'm going to. need you to stop saying that. Why? Because we're going to watch UF. glass half empty around here. MCDC on. the sideline though. Think about that. Yeah, you're right. That is good news. That'll be sweet. We're going to watch.

it. We didn't watch the other league. Are we going to watch it? I watched the. uh I will watch the Hall of Fameship. I. will bet on the Hall of Fame. What was. that league? I watched the Fisher. Freight. The indoor football indoor. football league. Yeah, we got a lot of. tweets from the indoor football league. Uh we respect them and appreciate them. We understand uh what you guys are are. doing over there. We appreciate what. you're doing to the indoor football. league. Hell yeah. Fisher Freight got. two more games left. Uh Espinosa, the. quarterback that got signed like three. days before the game. He's player of the. week. Wow. Player of the week at Fisher.

Freight. Obviously, he's right around. corner. Bruce's going to go to the game. I think Gumpy said he's going to go. Talk say he's going to go. Mitch said. he's going to go. I think Nick even said. he was going to go skates. Yeah, I think. he said that. Prior obligations, I believe. What? I. know. I'm devastated. You going to a. soccer game? Cancelled. A lot of people. going to soccer games these days. They're saying like 65 70,000 people in. some of these stadiums for some of these. games. Where are we sitting in the super. duper thingy? Uh that's happening with. the soccer stuff. The knockout rounds. halfway set up. Uh Inner Miami PSG. Sunday in Atlanta. I will be attending.

that one. Okay. That's a noon kickoff, I. do believe, in Atlanta on Sunday. It's. Inter Miami PSG. Lou Messi used to play. for PSG if I'm not mistaken. Yes, sir. PSG just won the Champions League for. the first time as well. Okay. So, the. overall favorite to win this is PSG. So, they could knock out Lou Messi on Sunday. out of the super duper soccer thingy. That is correct. $100 million on the. line in this tournament. Yeah. Uh, Inner. Miami's actually already won $21. million. Jeez. Uh, by qualifying and.

being in this tournament. You win. $300,000 for winning the MLS Cup. So, that's pretty good. How do you get what. we need? Where's all this money come. from? We were talking about the MLS. being good. Good. The boys aren't even going to try. to win the MLS Super Duper Cup. If the. actual Super Duper Cup, you don't even. have to win. You get 21 million. Well, they got the 21 million cuz they. qualified for the next round, but they. did get 7 million for just qualifying in. general. Yeah, but they don't have to. win the whole thing. PSG could beat them. by 30 this weekend, which yeah, they.

still I mean they're minus 550. So, it. is possibility. How about that Auckland. team? They scored one goal in this. entire thing. They probably got some. millions of dollar more than you get for. win the entire semi-pro league. gold. medal. You're telling me these guys are. playing an entire season and if they win. the championship then they get to. basically fill up their tank of gas and. get a soda pop from the freaking gas. station. Each person on team I know. that's crazy. icy. The more I learn about the MLS, I. get a little concerned. What do you mean. a little bit more worried about gassing.

up something that isn't real? I mean I I. I like it's the best league. I like the. thought of the league, but the owners. don't pay the players. The league pays. everybody. So, that's an interesting. concept. Does every team have an owner? Yes. Okay. But I think if I'm not. mistaken, cuz we learned that down at. TST, I believe that the MLS pays every. player. The owners have to put the money. into an account. I believe then it all. just comes from one particular spot. And. I assume that was done because at some. point, just like whenever you guarantee. money, you have to put it into like.

escrow or you have to it has to be. there. The NFL has to do it. I assume. because there was times that maybe. contracts were given out that maybe the. money wasn't Is there a cap? Does each. team have a cap though? I think they. just 100 grand. I think there's like. designated players and stuff and some of. the inner Miami players are getting. pissed cuz they can't bring more players. in cuz you can only have certain players. from certain places. Riddle me this, Gumpy. Have we been I believe the way it. is described is out of pocket when we've. been talking about the MLS being the.

best soccer league in the world. Uh, we. might have been sold a false bill of. goods. Lou Messi's on the team. Yeah, but the who won the balloon door. Inner. Miami also Inner Miami doesn't also get. that 21 million either. Like the MLS is. taking more money from that than any. other team that's in this tournament. Would you imagine back in the day when. the Portland Timbers were trying to. trade trying to trade for Landon Donovan. $10,000 loan and they they're just.

scrambling. They just can't come up with it. Sounds. like Jackie Moon trading away machine. Yeah. Bag of balls. This sport. But on. the plus side, there'll be a Super Duper. Cup next week somehow. All this [ __ ]. we're talking about. You said PSG just. won the Champions League for the first. time. Didn't they have Neymar Messi and. Bape on the team at the same time? They. never won it. First time ever and Bot. was a problem on that team. No, for the. record. No. From what I learned on uh. the streets, uh there was only one ball.

There's only one ball. So, you can't. can't have that many superstars with. only one ball. No wonder no one wants to. play soccer growing up. Hey, you can be. the best soccer player in the world. Go. play in the MLS. Guess what? We're you. know, we we'll pay for your condo six. months of the year, not the whole year. We'll give you, you know, 65,000 B. Does. that work? Best player in the world give. you 65. The two the two uh the two players that. have been performing and scoring for the. US in the Gold Cup, one has been offered. by Byer Leverkusen and the other one was.

offered by Durby County. Get that is a. good thing for US soccer. The dream is to to play well enough in. the MLS to get to another soccer level. It's just so it's so much more money. Like you can't compete with that in high. school. In high school, I legitimately had the. thought I didn't know anything about. soccer. Okay, I played soccer, was. rather good at soccer, had more schools. looking at me for soccer than I did for. kicking footballs, but I wasn't like I I.

wasn't an avid viewer of soccer. My dad. didn't like we didn't like it wasn't. Team USA. I watched like cuz Team USA. was like something that I was see Colby. Jones, Tony Miola literally, you know, Alexi Lawless, that whole McBride I. believe was a guy back then. I mean that. that whole team is who I watched as a. kid. But I didn't know like the politics. of it all. All I knew is if you wanted. to be rich playing soccer, you had to. live in Europe. Yeah. That that is. literally the if you want to be rich, you got to go over to Europe to do it. But I thought the MLS had come to a. point, especially with that Apple deal.

and being able to get Messi here because. this Messi deal is similar to what the. Beckham deal was considered like. whenever the Beckham deal happened to LA. Galaxy where it was like this guy's. making how much to play soccer in the. United States of America? And then that. was going to be like an opening for. others to do it. There has been I. thought that changed it, right? I. thought that changed everything once. Beckham came in and did all that. I. thought all the everyone's team was. worth way more after that. Me too. Terry. Enri came over, Wayne Rooney came over. I mean, there's been a lot of superstars. that have come over uh and played over. here. So, I assumed in my mind that the.

MLS was in like a a good I think it is. in a good spot compared to where it was, but like 300,000 for winning the MLS Cup. is concerning. I had no idea that's what. it was. Thank God you chose football. Yeah. I don't think I these knees, brother. I don't know if we would have. And with my size, from what I've. realized, I was a little bit too large. for that entire thing. I don't think my. knees would have kept up. But certainly, thank God, with the way kicking worked. out and ball kicking worked out, everyone's in a good spot when they get. out of prison. Yeah, that's the the case. here. It feels like with the MLS. And to.

AJ's question, if your dream has the. letters MLS in it, pick a new dream, brother. What are you talking about? Still adjacently. Hey, head head to vocational school. being a plumber. I thought we were. learning more about soccer as we were. going. I thought we were learning about. more about soccer and we were respecting. soccer. I'm enjoying it more. Especially. with the World Cup around the corner in. the Gold Cup thing. I saw the bracket. I'm back in. Yeah, we're taking on uh. Costa Rica. Okay, this one has the name. next to the flag. That's good. Uh that.

was sent in. One of the brackets was. sent in did not have the names next to. the flags. And I'm going to be honest, if it wasn't for the keypad where you. can type in the actual country's name, some of those flags would really start. dancing to look the exact same as the. others, not saying any disrespect. I'm. just telling you some flags look exactly. like another flag. And if you don't have. the uh the monoscope or whatever or the. uh monle, yeah, you get it. You have to. one little star is different than. another place, boy, you can't tell. So,

I enjoy learning uh magnifying glass. Come on. That's what I needed. Uh, so it. was hard to figure out who the hell we. were playing on that one bracket. Costa. Rica. They got a team. They got a team. I think they traditionally have kind of. beaten our brakes off. They haven't lost. in a long time. No, I believe so. Every. time I check, we're losing to Costa. Rica. So, I don't, you know, and granted. I'm not checking very often, but when I. do, we're losing to them. Is there a. purse for this? Cuz that might be our.

saving grace. Gold Cup. This one's just. to make the World Cup team. pay slips. Well, then we're screwed cuz you know if. the MLS guys are like, "Hey, guess what? Like, we might not eat a couple months. if we don't win this thing. So, we got. to win this [ __ ] tournament. Okay, I'd like to go to McDonald's a couple. times." Like the NBA Super Duper Cup in. the middle of the season. Guys at the. end of the bench are getting 250,000. bucks or whatever it is, right? Which is. Can you imagine if they did that in the. MLS? Guys be shooting people in the head. on the pitch. Jesus. I don't like how we're talking. about. I mean, it's real, right? 500.

500,000 a pop for the NBA cup and the. MLS Cup. You got to listen 300 grand. figure it out. Our team USA is going to. be good in the World Cup. Yep. Okay. I. have faith it's going to be a big deal. for soccer as a whole. And the fact that. we do have Messi selling out of stadium. uh stadiums everywhere he goes, I think. is good news. Let's uh let's pivot away. from soccer. That went really well. Gumpy, good work. Hey, baby. Gumpy. Gumpy. One guy. One guy. Uh yesterday. there was a conversation that was had.

about Aaron Rogers. A lot of. conversation about his retirement. He. told us not to talk about him for the. next 6 weeks. So AJ, would you like to. talk about him? I mean I thought he requested he said. try to not talk about him, right? He was. speaking to us, wasn't he? Yeah, definitely. I told him immediately upon. him giving his answer after asking if he. was happy that we are a part of the. problem, you know, because we will. certainly echo the conversations that. are happening about him. You know, I. feel like we are trying to give an. alternative angle sometimes to things. But with that being said, he is a.

lightning rod. Oh, anybody talked about. yesterday, he ain't retired. Oh, I. thought he was already retired. Huh? He's a genius. Uh, I think they're going. to be good. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think the. Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be. good. especially after talking to him. yesterday and knowing that his schedule. just yesterday. We don't know his. schedule is every single day, but just. yesterday we're after I think a stretch. uh before first workout of I mean like. you're talking about being in full camp. mode right now and if he knows it's. going to be his last year where he. thinks this is going to be it, it's like.

he would want to know that he left. everything like he no stone unturned. basically throughout the entire process. I assume while he was deliberating his. decision uh whether or not he was going. to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, he stayed in. great shape. I would assume he was still. working out then because as soon as he. arrived, he looked great. I think it's. good things that we heard from Aaron. Rogers yesterday. Personally, I agree. and I think they're going to be good, too. The thing is, uh when you are a. part of one of those cornerstone. organizations, good ain't good enough, you know. Oh, you're talking about they. going to be great. You got that's going. to be the conversation. And then uh when.

you have a Mount Rushmore quarterback. coming into an organization, that's. always good regardless of who's playing. where. Um that is going to be the the. conversation. This his first year going. into a season where he hasn't had an off. season, uh you know, with the offense as. well. So that'll be some, you know, you're working out through training. camp, so it'll be interesting to see. But um it's Mike, it's a Mike Tomlin. coach team. It's a bunch of leaders that. he he mentioned on that team already. He's going to take the mantle of. leadership on the offensive side of the. ball. So that's good phrasing. you know, he'll be this will be a a lower third,

you know, every week on all the shows. So, we will continue to talk about him. Everyone will continue to talk about We. apologize for that, though. Hopefully, it's a good thing for the Steelers. Yeah. And AJ, your thoughts on He. sounded very content, very comfortable, very confident as well, which I. appreciated. Yeah, he did. And I I mean, I I definitely think he's on like that. crazy workout grind that he you're. talking about. He's I think as he's. gotten older, he's gotten even more and. more into all that, the nutrition, everything about it, like how he works. out. like he he's definitely dialed that. in over the last five, six, seven years,

I think, to where he has like a whole he. has a whole situation every day planned. out now, how he eats, everything he does. working outwise, which is can only be a. positive, I think, for him and the team. Yeah. Has a chef. Obviously, we've heard. that happening in the background. whenever we talked to him yesterday. Something big clang. Big clang out of. something. I don't know what it was. Distracted me a little bit, but he was. giving a real answer, so I had to make. sure, hey, don't look like the [ __ ]. idiot. Paparazzi fell through his roof, probably. Yeah, it might have been. paparazzi. Yeah, maybe clanging one of. those cameras off of something. He did.

not like that. He did not like that. AJ, I mean, I think he got the message out. though like after what you what' you. say? Did that feel good? Did that feel. good? Like that was the perfect response. to what his little fiveminute I guess. you know you you led him into it, asked. him a little bit and he just really. opened up. Let us know how he feels. Well, I I just wanted to say we wanted. to be invited to the reception. Yeah. I. think we're pretty good at a reception, too. Just just Oh, yeah. I feel like we. are a good group at one of those events. We're all supposed to have a good time. Yes, we're all trying to have a good.

time. Yes, we're great for those events. We we think if there's people that are a. little miserable, those people will. certainly they don't like our style. You. know, I think they could potentially but. receptions that's everybody's happy. We. were just trying to offer up services. like, hey, if you need vibes crew, we. would love to come through. I did not. know where we were headed. I did not. And there was three different times I. was going to say that you did that feel. good because I thought he was done and. then he remembered something else. And. then he remembers something else. He was. like, "All right, good luck. Hey, I'm. happy you're doing that. I'm I'm.

thankful that he had the opportunity to. be able to do that." And uh I think. everybody knows exactly where he stands. at this exact moment. Uh speaking of. knowing exactly where somebody stands at. this exact moment, uh Jon Jones retired. Yeah. Wow. Hell of a run, John. Damn. Miss John. Hell of a run, John. as a. fighter obviously I mean just as. electric as they come uh you know I. didn't get to be of age during the Tyson. run I didn't have the opportunity to I. really had the Tyson Punchout game era.

you know looking back on it watching the. highlights now at this stage watching. the documentaries reading the books uh. Mark Creel wrote like I didn't have a. chance to experience I got to experience. the Jon Jones era though and uh when you. talk about from a business sense we're. talking shoes we're talking cereal boxes. We're talking everything. Uh, a Nike. deal, I believe. You're talking about. everything. He took over it all as a. rock star in the ring. And obviously, it. was at about the same time as the UFC. was taking off. So, you're talking about.

a superstar for a company transitioning. and changing into a global sensation. Uh, at the same exact time, you're. talking real power. That's what Jon. Jones had. Whenever he would fight, people would stop what they were doing. We had an opportunity. I had the. opportunity to meet obviously his. brothers, his family, him. I got a. chance to go watch his fight out in. Baltimore when he just toyed with a guy. for like four rounds. Just had a good. time with him. He would have those. elbows out of nowhere and then if he'll. get on the ground, he'd be able to choke. you out. He had it all. He had it all at.

such a young age and he was so. incredibly athletic. So, the fact that. he would no longer be fighting, obviously we're bummed out about. But I. think over the last few years, you know, we we've all come to realize that. anything was possible with Jon Jones. And that's kind of the fighting world. You know, a lot of people like to judge. these fighters, judge these fighters, and they're like not perfect citizens. And of course, that's not great for. anybody or any community whenever that's. the case. But they are literally the. people that are signing up to go in. there and maybe die. Like every once in. a while, there's going to be another. trait that comes alongside the brain.

that it takes to have that as their. profession. That not everything's going. to be perfect. I think obviously that's. a story of a lot of fighting uh humans. because of what takes place and the. courage it takes to have this as your. profession. So, congrats to Jon Jones. We appreciate the hell out of him for. what he did for sports. And uh what a. [ __ ] monster he was in the octagon. I. hope I hope it's one of these uh you. know, MMA/boxing retirements where maybe. a year from now he gets the itch and he. comes back out and we get to see him. fight again because his only loss is.

what a DQ a garbage DQ. He need a down. guy I believe. Whatever it was back in. the day. Elbow. Yeah. Whatever it was, he he doesn't have any real losses. like. that's unheard of in what he and how. many times he put his title on the line. So, what a fun dude to watch. Took crazy. chances and to him it I don't think it. he didn't feel like he was taking. chances. He's like this is what I do. This is just who I am. He was a needle. mover and uh if he does get into boxing. obviously there's a man uh who has. captivated that particular world this. weekend. Ladies and gentlemen with his.

13th professional fight, this guy will be fighting Julio Caesar. Chavez Jr. in Anaheim, California. He's. a star of the reality show Paul. American. He's a trailblazer, a. businessman, and a fulltime boxer, much. to the chagrin of the people who thought. he was just doing it for attention years. and years ago. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, Jake Paul.

How are you, buddy? Oh, I think you're muted. Hold on. It's. on us, baby. Hola. Hola. Hola. How are you doing, brother? How you feeling? Hey, my ben. I appreciate you. I I know. you've been obviously living down in. Puerto Rico, and I think they call you, what's your nickname down there? Elgo. Elgao. Obviously, Elgo heads into the. ring this weekend uh with an absolute.

legend. How is Elgo feeling? Best camp, best shape. How do you feel right now, man? Pat, I'm ready to go. You know, a. lot of fighters come on here and say, "Oh, I had the best camp. I did the best. stuff. This is truly how I feel. statistically. Best shape of my life. Lowest heart rate, max rounds, speed, power, everything. I'm feeling amazing.". And so this Saturday, uh, Chavez is. getting put to sleep. Another legendary. name on the hit list. Yeah, I I'm. excited to watch. I'm excited to see you. as a boxer. I think what we've all.

noticed as uh I think we have followed. your entire boxing career as a show. I. think we were a young show whenever you. were getting started in it all whenever. everybody was attacking you. I think. what we have seen is you've gotten. better each fight and I think that comes. from obviously your commitment and your. training. You're still full-time boxing. year round, right? life is a fight camp. for you still at this point. And how. excited are you that I think everybody. else is coming around to that as well. It's not just people attacking you for. boxing now. Yeah. Look, I've always.

known what I was capable of and I always. saw the vision of where this was going. to go and what I was going to become. So. for me, I'm just doing exactly what I. manifested and saw in my head. And. everyone else is catching up there. There is respect in all of these things. But I always knew I was going to become. one of the best fighters in the world. And I'm still on the goal to become. world champion. And pretty much that's. the only thing left I have to do in this. sport. Had the most viewed fight ever, knock out of the year, beat a bunch of.

legends, but now I want to become world. champion. And Chavez this Saturday is. the step to get there. Um to be able to. be ranked by the sanctioning bodies. And. it just feels good to continue to. improve uh fight by fight. And I'm. thinking this is going to be my breakout. performance. Okay. So to be ranked by. the sanctioning bodies, we saw that if. you if you when you win if you win this. weekend as non-biased journalist. obviously uh you will be uh ranked you. will become a ranked fighter is what.

they're saying. Did you know that it. would take 13 fights or why is it now? Is it is it just more people realizing. who you are, what you're doing? And what. does this mean for your future. opponents? Do you think now more ranked. boxers will want to take you on or will. they be forced to take you on? Is there. anything like that? Yeah, exactly. So, I. think I think it came to a point where. the sanctioning bodies were like, "Wow, this guy is serious. He's now fighting a. former world champion. Chavez is a great.

great fighter. 60 fights. And if Jake. can beat him, then we will rank him. And. once I'm ranked, then other ranked. fighters will be forced to fight me.". Um, in other words, that means I could. potentially be up to fight for world. championship, and that would be the goal. and obviously the dream. So, this fight. is super important to me. I need to have. an amazing performance to be able to be. ranked on on the path to world. championship. Yeah. But good for you, man. Earning this the entire way cuz. you've been calling your shot since the. beginning. Calling your shot since the.

beginning. You said manifested. Obviously, anytime you say something. publicly, you're going to be publicly. pressured to see if you can accomplish. it or not. you've stuck the course even. when there's been immense amount of [ __ ]. being talked about you. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, Jake, I know you said you uh you. mentioned earlier you're going to put. him to sleep. Do you care how you win? Like obviously a win is the number one. thing, but do you care? You want to put. on a show. Do you want to put people to. sleep every single time you step into. that ring? I always want to knock out my. opponents. That's what boxing's about. And boxing's been boring lately. People.

running around the rings, not a lot of. good fights. So, I want to be the guy. that's known for having the biggest. knockouts, the most exciting fights, and. that's what I hope to do on Saturday. This is not just going to be a win. This. is going to be an all-star performance. and a highlight real KO. I love that. Hell yeah. That was like. when Suga Shawn, you know, Sugan was. like, "Hey, I'm here to put on the Sugar. Show. I understand that whenever I'm. doing my thing in here, people would. like to watch it. That's good news.". like when people want to watch you and.

draw eyeballs. You already said uh the. the biggest what what was your the. record you you dropped there in your. last was it biggest gate? Uh the biggest. biggest uh most watched fight ever with. with Tyson 128 million viewers. Jeez. Boom. Elgo. Elgo. That's awesome, man. Good for you. Connor has a question for you about your. next fight. Yeah, Jake. So, was Chavez. picked basically because you could. become, you know, a ranked sanctioned.

fighter? Was that the main reasoning? I. assume so many people are probably. reaching out wanting the fight versus. you, but was that the uh thought around. that or is it because he is so. experienced and has such a great resume? Yeah. Know there it was definitely all. three of those things. We knew that if I. were to beat Chavez, then I would be. able to be ranked. uh but also because. of his name, his father's, you know, legend in the sport and so it would be. something that the fight the fa fans. would want to see. Um and so that that.

was an important factor to it and then. also being able to be ranked. Uh from. the very beginning felt like you would. say things and names and then people. wouldn't take the fight. So you could. very easily say, "Oh, these people are. ducking me. These people are ducking me. These people are ducking me." Then as it. continues to roll on, it's like people. might not want to fight Jake Paul, especially after the big knockouts. happening and then they're like, "Well, you don't want to be on the receiving. end of that." But we wonder about the. people that actually do take the fights. with you. Do you think there's a common.

thread? Ty has a question. Yeah, Jake, I'm guessing you don't give a [ __ ] about. like what people on Twitter are saying. about your career, but when it comes to. like your opponents, do you think at. this point, do people still. underestimate you and think everything's. kind of a gimmick? or do you think they. understand now like, hey, if I don't. take this guy seriously, there is a very. real chance that I can get put to sleep. I think my opponents take me very very. seriously. I still I think that the. people on Twitter and the regular fans. genuinely think that my fights are. rigged, right? Dana White uh started.

this rumor. He started this rumor that I. was on steroids, this battle and warfare. back and forth between us two. And I. take it as a compliment because people. genuinely can't even believe the fact. that I've beaten some of the names that. I've beaten and they chalk it up to that. it has to be fake and that he paid these. people millions and millions of dollars. to to take dives. Um, so I find it. flattering. Uh, but at the end of the. day, my opponents have to take me.

seriously and they know what I'm capable. of. The rigging fight thing pissed you. off, I assume. Obviously, that's like. the worst thing that could go for your. credibility. Honestly, bro, not like yes. and no. But I you have to understand. like we live in a world full of idiots. and the media is controlling people's. minds and people can't think for. themselves, right? I mean, we see all. the madness in the world currently. because of tweets and propaganda that. they want to believe. So there's so many. sheep in the world who are getting.

hurtded up by these border collies and. they aren't able to think for. themselves. So I honestly just feel bad. for them and I hope that one day people. can find psychedelics and awake. spiritually and see from a different. level uh because we live in a sick world. currently and this just is one example. of how dumb people are and believing. these types of things. Hey Jake, real. quick. two days in a row now. Somebody. has said that it's a sick world, sick. society. Aaron Rogers said it yesterday,

which I do believe you and he know each. other at this point, right? I think so. Yeah. No, for sure. And and he's he's on. that same wavelength of hoping people. that or hoping that people can wake up. and and see the world from a different. perspective. And that's that's what it. took for me. I was one of those people. So that's why I preach it. I was like. awake emotionally. Didn't understand how. my actions affect the world. you know, just going about life as another one of. the the robots and it and it took a big.

transformation to to me for me to awake. Is that when you got into boxing? Uh, a little bit after that, but boxing. also helped with that and and helped me. grow as a as a human and stuff, but it. it takes a lot of effort and it's not. easy to look yourself in the mirror. because it's actually a journey inwards. You have to stop blaming the rest of the. world for everything and go inwards. And. that's where the awakening comes from. And I think that's hard for a lot of.

people. How old are you? 28. You've lived a. thousand years. You've lived literally. all your and we've seen it all. You. know, we've basically seen it all. throughout your life. I mean, it's every. day, bro. I saw a lot. We've seen a lot. of you throughout these life. Uh still. very young. Can't wait to see what you. continue to do. Let's talk about the. fight a little bit. Tone has a question. for you. Yeah, Jake, I'm sure you have. something big already planned for your. walk out, but I'm not sure if you've. heard the song Rooster by Allison. Chains. That would go great with the.

Elgo. Just something to think about in. the future. But I'm going to write it. down. Rooster. Yep. By Allison Chains. What's it sound like, Tone? Here, Jack. Yeah. Sing it. Here comes a rooster. Oh, yeah. It's pretty good song, actually. I had to go full. Uh, but do Yeah. Do. you have something big planned for the. walk out? I have something I have. something funny planned for sure.

It it should be a good moment. Where. does that [ __ ] robot live? Uh he actually lives uh somewhere in. Georgia, like a random city in Georgia. where like the the people who control. and operate it. Um they just maintenance. it and take care of it and all that. stuff and then whenever we need it, we. just fly it somewhere. Do you FaceTime. every once in a while? Let them know, "Hey buddy, I'm cooking. Don't worry. about it. The rooster's on it. Uh we'll. bring you back out into the wild. sometimes." I I don't I don't talk to my.

robot. Smart. That's smart idea. I think. I don't think any of us should actually. we should continue uh to move forward. All right, Jake, we appreciate the hell. out of you, man. You and your brother. are absolutely crushing it and uh we. continue to follow along with the. journey and good luck this weekend. Thank you guys. Thank you for having me. as always. Appreciate you. Where you at. in weight loss? I got like six more. pounds to go. So, I'm feeling pretty. skinny right now. Pretty pretty hungry. But yeah, pretty ripped up. We pretty. ripped up right now. I mean, I'm a I'm a. fat kid, man. Like my brother got the.

good jeans cuz even even like even like. this is like full weight cut. Oh yeah. Yeah. Your brother has like the more. defined body type. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. He he doesn't even work out and. he looks like that. Yeah. He's. unbelievable. I said to him, I said, "How do you look like that?" He goes, "100 push-ups a day." And I was like, "That's it?" He goes, "No, he he does. that as a troll." Yeah, I know, Jake. I. know. Jesus. All right. Good luck this. weekend. Good luck with the weight loss. You're the man, ladies and gentlemen. Jake Paul. Y.

I know, Jake. Jesus. I do 100 push-ups a. day. Okay, that's it. Then the next. week, hey, how do I look like this? 100. push-ups a day. I know that's not what. you do. Then next week, have you ever. tried a weight a weighted jump rope? I'm. like, no, but it sounds like you do. So, I am going to start doing that. immediately. It is awesome. Oh, yeah. the way to jump rope is an awesome I. mean it's like the they talk about jump. rope being like such a good that's why.

all the boxers do it hard your entire. body needs it that's why committing to. boxing is insane especially as somebody. who's already rich and successful and. everything amount of damage obviously. that can take place but the commitment. and the type of commitment it takes to. be a boxer is not that's like not a fun. thing you know like they talk about. fighters with satin sheets like Jake. Paul had numerous houses with a lot of. beds all of them sat satin sheets. Could. have picked sleep in any state he wanted. and he would had satin sheets. He's.

like, "You know what? I'm going to be a. professional boxer every day, running. every morning, sweating every morning, punched in the face every day." It's. like, I have respect for it. A lot of. people at the beginning thought it was. [ __ ] We kind of thought we're like, there's no way he's going to stay. committed to boxing because how hard it. is. He's still with it. He's still. grinding. And for that, we say good. luck, brother. Potentially going to be a. ranked fighter. Yeah. It's insane to. think about. AJ, great work today. Any. final message for the people watching on. TV? I tell you what, Jake Paul got me. excited to watch this fight. No joke. I'm going to tune in. No, I don't know.

Did he say the robot's coming? He did. not mention robot. He's in Georgia. It. didn't sound like Maybe in Georgia's. What if What if a robot broke? There. might be a free robot in Georgia. Everybody look out. All right, that's. going to be an end show. Imagine. Oh, what a [ __ ] joke. Now. he's going to do a funny entrance. Yeah. What's the funny? What's it going to be? I don't know. You remember that guy? Who. was that guy a couple years ago? Oh, yeah. He was dancing Pakistan. I believe. he was in He might have been in. Pakistan. Uh he's dancing like an.

[ __ ] coming in and then got knocked. out like right away. Yeah. Like full on. Yeah. It was like through the ropes. Yeah. Yeah. Whole thing. Have you seen. this video? I have not. I have been. saved. I watched it whenever I saw it. maybe 15 times a day. That's just like. uh drinking out of cups, being a [ __ ]. Sure. Uh drinking out of cups. out of. cups. Yeah, that that video. I'm sure. that was that cup video you watched. No, you're thinking of two girls, one cup, which I know is your favorite video. That one made me puke. Let's not talk.

about that one. We need to talk about. good ones. Let's keep that. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Get. out. Get out. Get out. You're talking. about the guy in the closet. Glad you do. Why'd you do that? That was. a terrible time. King Italian nuts. Yeah. Love that. Look at this guy. Yeah, that video. I think that was if I were. to go back and my first YouTube video, it was jerking out of cops. Me, too. Yeah. Being a [ __ ] Yeah. I love that. Just to walk down and then that boxing. one. Yeah. All time. Sidewalk. Yeah. The.

boxing one. That captivated me for a. while. Mr. Walkway. Mr. Walk down me. Walk down me to get to. the building. [ __ ] you. That video is so good, man. Didn't. somebody come out and lie? The guy that. created it? Cuz the whole thing was this. dude saw tripping on drugs in a in a. closet. In a closet. Yeah, we've all I'm. from Pittsburgh. Lived in West Virginia. and Indianapolis. We heard that. You. were up in Boston. Yeah. And I'm younger. than you. Yeah. You heard that up there. Then the guy came out, I think, and said. that that was not the case. It was.

something else. Like I forget what it. was. Maybe a voicemail or something. No, I'm not living in that reality. Me. neither. Here it is. Is this I don't. see. Once again, I don't know maps or or. flags. I mean, as well, I don't know. That looks like England on the right. And. just know that this guy. has no idea what's about to Yeah. Uzi, can we turn the music on, too? We. We can take strike for this, I think. Sure. [Music].

There's no way this guy [ __ ] real. fight. 15 times a day I watch this like. two years. Jeez, that's that's Uzi. Heavyweight champion. of the world. [Music]. This guy's a good boxer. You think? First time I saw this, I'm like, "Yeah, no fear crowd security guys." Like, "All.

You going to fight with the China? He. kind of looks like that kid that dances. in that Russian nightclub a little bit, too. It might be him. What happened to.

I. suppose you're both in the dressing. room. Obey my command at all times. You. both know the rules. Watch your heads. Pick the patches up and I shall break. Let's get to it.

[Music]. Yeah. Oh, I mean, Uzi didn't look like. he had much of a chance. He thought he. did, though. 10 straight away. He'll always have that. walk in. Yep. That didn't feel so good. for that guy. Holy [ __ ] Hey, Uzi, we. appreciate your confidence. Like that's. the type of confidence you need as a. quarterback. That's right. As a.

cornerback, as a punter, as a kicker, as. a pitcher, as a batter, as a boxer, as a. fighter. Amen. Uzi had it. He did. Just. didn't have that ability, you know. He. was eight and nine in his career. Every. time, too. That was actually a 63. That was good time. That took me back to. a good time right there. Yeah. I would. open my phone, that [ __ ] start. dancing. Yep. [ __ ] And then what is it?

I need my ringtone. Oh no. Oh no. What? I don't believe this. I don't believe. this comment. I don't believe this. comment. They said the entrance was from. another fight. No way. Cuz he was in the. guy's face. This is a lie. This is Uzi. That's a fake account from Uzi. Not. living in that world. I'm not living in. that world. Block them. Edit it. Get it. out. That was so good. The best. Yeah. I've never seen that. Oh, yeah. I had so. much fun with that. Top notch. That's a. good wake up in the morning. Fantastic.

Yeah. And also, it's a good reminder. Okay. Oh, no. Life's going to life out there. Nothing. Okay. Life's going to life out. there. Mhm. Let's never be too confident. to the point of where we're arrogant. Let's never be too bummed out to the. point where we're depressed. Mhm. Let's. make sure we understand that there is a. life that we can live where we can get. high on the highs, but not till after they're done. Mhm. And never get too low in the lows.

because the highs are coming again. Hell. yeah. Uzi is a great example of that. Mhm. He did that entrance every single. time. He got knocked out nine times. Yeah. And on that 10th one, if he was to. walk out there again, what would he do, Dutt? He'd do that same walk out. That's. damn sure. Damn. There you go. Wow. Jeez. Glad I saw Is he a real boxer. or is this just like Yeah. Yeah, dude.

That's why it is That's why it's so. ridiculously hilarious. AJ. Yeah. This. isn't like uh influencer fight night. here. You know, this ain't [ __ ] Got me. getting it.

Sunday of a three and a half million. dollar purse uh winner that that we. would like guys that feel that way on. Sundays to uh represent the country. But. he's got a tough decision to make. Maybe. he just wants to also just be a coach. out there. Maybe he just wants to be. captain, be a leader. He got to do what. he's got to do. And maybe he wins this. weekend. We shall see. Uh but I'm. getting those lab putts. Putters. Yep.

Rub against that forearm. Brace it. Boom. So it can't move cuz it's then. it's directly with your arm there. You. see? So, as long as your arm rolls to. the hole, you see?

Feels like I got. putting figured out. Y. So, driving's. figured out. You got it. Driving's. figured out because I watched uh Kiwa uh.

And this is it.

I'm not putting with this. to say my. putter. No. Why isn't Kiwawa on uh on. the PGA tour or To be honest, I don't. think he's been given the opportunity. He He needs to be on the Champions Tour. and or the PGA Tour. I don't know his. age. Every shot I've ever seen him hit. Yeah. Perfect. He can't go on a course. Yeah, I've seen him on a course. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've done a hole with him. No, he he actually doesn't love um you. know, everything that goes on with those. tours. Uh he won every single event in. the Japanese tour for like six straight. years. That's a lot of coffers. DP World.

Tour. No, he doesn't love that either. Oh, okay. Just the Japanese tour. I. think what he loves doing is just. sitting at that driving range that's. perfectly lit and just smoking draws. Just everybody else at the entire range. is like this [ __ ] guy. He was going. today. If you haven't seen him yet, can. he hit a little fade though? Can he hit. a fade if he wants to? Anything he. wants. Undefeated. That's the key. Can you get through his. driver? Can you get hitting into a green. screen? Well, I can leave it up. You can.

leave his screen. Leave your screen up. You can leave the greens up there. Look, he's Oh, there it is. Throw it. Boom. That's an X. That's No. No. No. No. Boom. You see what you're doing? No. Fade. You see what you just did here. Oh. Don, come on. Point. Come on. Boom. Out. of pocket. Almost like a little Jim. Furick action. Boom. Yeah. He's got a. little JF in him. Can he get to one of. the videos where he's holding like a box.

or something? Keeps coming. Spirit swing. coach. He is. He is my personal swing. coach. I've not paid him a dime. Do the. baseball one maybe. Is that a baseball. one right there? Swing while walking. backwards. Like show Hey, Tony. Look. Bang. This is awesome. Bang. That's what you. need to do. Huh? Right here. Bang. You. see? Just like a baseball bat. Gone. Smoked. So easy. Yeah, it's easy. He's. doing it like show. Oh, you see? Take that [ __ ] right.

there. You turn it down around. It ain't hard. He's been my swing coach. for the last 3 months. Yep. I've been. watching every video. Had a cross stick. out there. Had a hockey stick out there. He knows. Mental r. That's cow. I'm. laying down. I get up. Start just out of. the middle of nowhere. [ __ ] like. that. I need to give it one more go. One. more go. Is that a ping- pong uh pedal. up? Yep. Do that one. No, that's not it. That's a hammer. He.

can do it with a hammer, though. Obviously, I hit that 300 yard. No, he's. just telling you, "Look, look, look, look. This is what you're doing. This is. what you need to do. When hitting with a. hammer, do not turn the face. What are. you doing? Just hit the [ __ ] hammer.". He said, "Oh, everybody's turning their. hands. Don't turn your hands." He's a. great teacher. Just hit the [ __ ]. thing, he says. That's what he said. Yeah. He said, "Don't turn the hammer. [ __ ] pow gone. Holy [ __ ] Smokes. balls. That would be nice. Every time. I've seen this guy hit a ball, it's. that. And then he missed the birdie putt.

and he tapped in for par. Just the most. key was shallow thing I could imagine. Didn't want to be too arrogant, you. know, just wanted to be casual. Wants me. to be a better golfer. And he's talked. me into it. He needs to know he has. talked me into it. I'm giving him one. last chance without saying a [ __ ]. word. I don't I don't think one word has. been spoken by him or me. Always. wonder if Miz watches his page. No, I. mean he's a righty. Obviously, the. world's working against me. I'm a lefty. The whole thing. He's still doing a Miz. Golf. I think Yeah. Yeah.

How's he doing? Is he so bad? Killing. it. He's killing it. He's losing. Is he. at the Tahoe. He will be ping battle. Get the ping p. He says Miz hits shows some of his bad. shots which most people like you know. this this gentleman I haven't seen him. show any bad shots. He doesn't have any. He doesn't have any. Look, he's like the. way you're hitting just like a pingpong. paddle. That's both to me. Maybe when he. was 10 par silky smooth. What do you. mean silky smooth? Perfect form,

brother. That's a key with Shallow. Think any of these sports is what you. need to do. He's a beast. All right, if. this goes in, I'm a key shallow myself. back into golf. Boom. Oh, nice. Come on. If you miss it, this guy actually. stinks. I like I like that's real steak. If you miss that, that is a green. screen. Ke is not doing it on a goddamn green. screen. Let the decide.

He wears hoodies in some cuz it's cold. Do you think he would do that in a. green? Good gimmick. AC might be on. working. for Kiwama. Mhm. Him too. Yes. Oh no. I thought it was green. screen. It just wre It did kind of. Guy. couldn't make his high school team. Yes, he did. You can get down with your. leg.

There it is. You see, my golf game was shallow does. not deserve the disrespect. Couldn't. make his high school team. He was his. high school team. had a unicorn speak to. me. Sick. I don't believe all it. I'm. not a robot. Oh no. Oh, sorry. Cow. That's not good. What's his day job? You think golf? You're looking at it. Do you see Tatum's.

new Jordans? They look just like those except they're. all white with a little black. I like. that. Yeah. The new uh version of his. shoes. Who all has shoes now at this. point? Does Caitlyn have shoes or is she. wearing the co? She has Kobe. Hers just. got announced this week. Okay, so she. has sho Sabrina has shoes, too, right? Sabrina has nice shoes. They're sweet. I. like Sabrina shoes. Yeah, I like. Sabrina's shoes as well. Asia has shoes. Asia has shoes. KD has shoes. Angel. Reese has shoes. Rebot, I think Trey.

Everybody loves the super loud shoes. Shoes. I can't do the super loud shoes. Told Tyrese, "Hey, you should just make. some crispy all-white shoes." Yeah, Tatum Tatum snake those. If you can pull. them up, they are filthy. I'm not a. white shoe guy. I'm not a shoe guy in. general, but I'm not a white shoe guy.

They They are so sweet. What do you mean. you're not a white shoe guy? It's cuz I. all my stuff I don't like having shoes. in general, let alone white ones just. because they get dirty. Hunter's a one. pair a year guy. Always black. Yeah, I'm. a one pair a year guy and they're black. shoes. But you can walk to avoid danger. for sh said shoes. Yeah, but inevitably. something will happen. Of course. Like. why put any real estate in my brain. about wanting my shoes to stay clean. when they're going to get dirty? No, but.

you're not expect you don't I mean there. is like a hope that they would stay. clean. No, I had those West Virginia. ones that were white. They didn't last a. week. Yeah. Bingo. They lasted a month. at most. Yeah, but like you would take. the mud path over like a chance for. cement that'll add four feet. Yeah, exactly. So, don't do that in the Tatum. Can we. Can we show the Tatum shoes, please? I. want to be right about shoes for once in. my life. Okay, get them. Will you get. them? Oh, I want to just show them. Kyrie just dropped some shoes. Kyrie's.

shoes are sweet. Can't get those. Yeah. What are those? Where are they from? Exactly. You know those are where all. our shoes are from. Yeah. What do you. mean? I mean, close. They're not. Those. are the all white. No, those are That's. a sneaker collection. They're not. But. it's fine. But I I'll find them later. Can you Google Jason Tatum's. kind of look like Jason Tatum's shoes? white. Oh, there they are. Oh, down.

Uh, they got a little pink and blue in. these ones. The Jordan Tatum threes. No, those aren't them. It's all right. What. number is it? Four, five. Well, what number would it be? I'm not. sure. I just know that they just dropped. the uh designs for him. I I I don't know. if they're even on his website at this. point. Oh, you you got advanced. screenings? No, it was on X. Unreleased. It was on X. This is Jason Tatum's next. shoe. Really? All white, just like. those, except there wasn't any red. And.

then it is hard to find all white shoes. these days. That's why Air Force One's. always going to be Mhm. the best. These. ones are all white. They are sick. I. forgot Tat guy. Me, too. I forgot Bruce. just sent into the group. Luca Zion. Yeah, he's Jordan. Him and Oh, [ __ ]. Yeah, those are really nice. Those are. awesome. Those are sweet. I like those. Yeah. So, okay. Are you going to wear. those? I'll get you a pair of those. I'd. like to get you a few pairs of those. We'll see. We'll see. Probably not. The.

back has Listen, you got an inside pair. You got an outside pair, bub. You got an. inside pair. That's a good point. I. could probably wear Yeah. Look at that. That's filthy. Those are really nice. shoes. That was a great idea by Tatum. Some buckets in or Jordan, whoever the. people that designed would love to wear. those. Was your jacket con? Holy smokes. Can you imagine? Oh, [ __ ] Especially if. you had leather pants on, too. Oh, I put. my leather pants on. This is all the law. she wrote. Please put leather pants on. with that so fast.

If you had Yeah, let's not let's not do. any squatting. Uh aggressive squatting. uh leather pants, leather jacket, those. shoes, steal the room, steal steal the. room. Steal the moon. Yeah, you're. right. You're right. Not getting into it. All right, let's. get out of here. [ __ ]. Is it? Do we know? I don't know. We. planted our flag there. Talking about the shoes. The shoes are. available. Those shoes are available. I. think so. Oh, you're talking about the.

moon being available. No, the JT5. We. planted our flag and moon's. It's our. moon. Okay. We got a guy there right. now. They said, "Yeah, we got a guy up. there. What's he doing?" Hanging out. Just walking around. Yeah, he's alive. Yep. Boom. Boom. Boom. By himself. Boom. No way to get off the stop. Taking out a. golf club, hitting a moon rock. Yep. Boom. Boom. 20 miles into space. Here's. another one. Is he skipping rocks? Could.

be. Maybe. What if he's might be. Kawashawa? That's not his name. That was. disrespectful. But I understand what. he might. close. Um, Kawashama. I wonder if Kiwi. Shyama would be able to hit a draw with. no gravity. I'd assume so. Yeah, you. find a way. It goes forever. Never. stops. If there's spin, does it matter. if there's no same green question for. Kia? Shallow. He can do it. Same green screen. Moon driving range.

Plug it. Whatever gimmick you need it. for. On that note, we're out of here. I. don't like what you just did, mister. You can talk about the moon in a green. screen all you want. Okay. Seems like. that is a growing uh conversation in. this particular office and it'll. probably always be. But for Kawamura. Yosuk uh Kawamura. Okay. So, we're all. saying it. Okay. So, everybody's wrong. You guys are disgusting. No, you guys.

are disgusting. Kawa shallow. We call. him Kawa. 20 minutes on this guy. Knew. his name. His swing technique is called. Kawasak. It's called the Kawashallow. That is what the the swing is called. He. calls it that. We did not create that. Okay. Coach Cow. Follow along with Kawa. Shallow's teaching. Wait. Called the 20. He is a golf coach. Tips for all golfer. Kawa Shallow's secret.

Truly, this guy's unbelievable. That's a long. flight. We should fly him in. Do we know. where he lives? I think it is. I'm not. saying it, but I believe it's in Japan. I believe he is. Kyoto. I think I've. seen Kyoto somewhere around his that. driving range. It might be. Lucas. Patrick knows the deal. He follows him, too. I think it's where he wants to. My.

golf game go up. My golf game has become. easier since I realized that I All. right. I can't read. the [ __ ] man. that I can impact like a baseball. He. says like I can impact like a baseball. Boom. Baseball. What's the rest of that. say? Uh, you know, their language is tough to. figure out. I think it says, "Now watch. me hit this drive." Yeah, that's that's. what I thought. He said, "I thought the. slice wouldn't be fixed without flipping. and then water cuz it was splash." Sir,

when's the last post he had? Beautiful. scenery. That one's from 2022. That's. his pinned one. That's a pinned one. It. learned the platform. Wake up. Now watch. me hit this str.

It. was not the He's attacking people. Yeah, he's not good. No. No way. All right, let's get out of here. Holy [ __ ] My. algorithm just had a big one there. I. saw some of his videos, man. Yeah, scary. Okay, I would like to say this. I've known nothing about the leadup to. whatever this video is, but this one had. a lot of big words across the top. He's.
