foreign. [Music].

[Music]. thank you. hey why let's go.

this show [ __ ] stinks and the fact. that you listen we are very very. thankful for AJ never cease to amaze me. with your toxicity pal yeah. hello beautiful people welcome to on. this winter Wednesday May 17 2023 this. sports program starts all right now. welcome back. [Applause].

you did yeah. um you know pack right before we go live. there says uh hey what are we saying oh. we say sports you guys are overselling. it a little bit I actually thought to. myself wow weird uh interaction there. that might be this must be a new. communicative check box that we're. scratching off the list here every. single day so I appreciated that and. then it was completely different it was. welcome back it's great to be here thank. you for that boys uh yesterday was a. wild day in our lives obviously a. massive announcement was made a lot of. people pumped.

I just would like to say from the bottom. of my heart I appreciate everybody's. like passion and appreciation for this. program I would also like a little bit. of Faith. think about it. huh. kind of looking like uh everything that. I've been a part of pretty much. like everything a little bit different. probably than what other people have. been a part of no offense to anybody.

else but the way my conversations. normally go with people a little bit. different than how they normally go and. that that conversation with the powers. of B at ESPN right now and at Disney all. had the same exact lineup it's hey we. are aligned and I think the reason why. I'm so excited for it is because Sports. media has really been like one. particular thing for a very long time. and I know there's people that do. different things other than debate but. the debate era certainly became a thing. in sports media and debates naturally.

lead to division and nitpicking and. tearing people down because that is what. debates do so I think a lot of sports. media was trying to mimic what Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless created whenever. it was morning Pizza cold pizza yeah. what in there in the morning normally. it's cold in the morning well because. you were at night sixth place is not. normally open in the morning so the. morning cold pizza and then it became. First Take and it was Stephen A and Skip. and they were debating and it was. captivating because you're talking about. two of the greatest Debaters maybe in.

the history of all media Not Just Sports. those two going at it was must-see. television yeah so anything is a monkey. see monkey do business they start trying. to mimic that and that's become Sports. media pretty much and as somebody that. was on a team that got a chance to see a. lot of players who get ridiculed in the. media and the reaction of it I always. assumed like hey can we not be a little. bit more positive I think a lot of. people thought that way because whenever. you naturally get in debates there's. some putting people over but normally. it's this person's better than that. person because I'm gonna tear that. person down so it's a little bit of a.

negative kind of vibe whenever you're. talking about sports media and real. conversations have to happen so we. always wanted to celebrate Sport and in. doing so we might say some words sure. that adults say and the internet says. and I think in the future it's going to. be much more accepted because words. don't really nah you know they're just. spells a little different they don't. cast spells yeah well it's just it's a. little bit but I feel like we have. always like celebrated sport celebrating. greatness we try to utilize sport as a. unifier we have people in our demos and. I've had to go through all my stats and. analytics for all these conversations.

I've had with people we got people from. this side of the spectrum politically. all the way to this side of the spectrum. politically and also. touching the wall yeah yeah the the what. we all know fridges of yeah far outside. those ones out there because we all have. the same kind of love for sport so I. feel like we've always tried to put that. at the Forefront of everything we do if. we wanted to be negative. it would run up numbers sure it's an. easy thing to do and to be honest with. the talent we have on microphones on.

this particular stage if we wanted to be. negative people we'd be the best in the. world at it like if we wanted to if I. was cutting heel promos on people every. single day in sports which is an easy. way to run up numbers be negative about. it any kind of forget that the people. you're talking about are humans as well. who have feelings have worked their. asses off and everything like that but. if we're just looking at sports as. objects and I'm cutting heel promos on. people and then you've got Connor in. Thai at the toxic table chiming in on. top of it we could be the most negative.

[ __ ] on earth that is that is a very. easy thing but we've chosen to do it in. our own fashion we've chosen to do it in. our own way it's been by Design I've. been offered contracts from every. platform or network that we were just. talking to in the past and I've said. nope because the circumstances weren't. right it wasn't the right time now it. feels like the perfect time mostly. because the president of content over. there Burke Magnus brand new. okay what being around ESPN a long time. this is his first couple months here in.

charge of content and what ESPN is a as. a whole since day one literally in the. meetings that I've had to go through. this dude is like he gets it we want. I want you need our thing and he's not. saying Hey I want you here so that we. can change you into what ESPN has been. it's like hey we want you to be a part. of our operation Jimmy pitaro he and I. did not know each other whenever ESPN. was Banning people from coming on our. program that is when and this was a. couple years ago when hashtag ESPN. stinks was trending for 10 hours because.

of the way everything was going with. them over there I met Jimmy for the. first time there because he and I did. not interact with each other since our. first conversation me and Jimmy pataro. he and there's a reason he is the guy. in charge of it all and these Executives. at high levels normally seem to get it. everybody else that's kind of underneath. them probably going to remain there for. a while there'll be a couple people that. can go those people are the ones that go. they kind of see it and they get it me. and Jimmy pataro since day one have been. understanding he understood that the. timing wasn't right he didn't want me to.

join ESPN at that time because of. everything that happened there but he. definitely wanted me on game day. whenever everybody else seemingly in. positions over there that could make. decisions didn't so Jimmy Burke myself. all aligned on what our show is how our. show is what it will be when we go over. there has eased my mind so much because. the backlash the negativity that. happened on uh Twitter what YouTube what. my Instagram what my wife's Instagram. people are commenting on my wife's. Instagram calling her her husband and uh.

new baby's father is a sellout or. whatever it's like Jesus [ __ ]. have no idea what do we what are we even. what are we even talking about and the. reason why I didn't like. try to explain myself to everybody is. because with this particular program and. I know it sounds. um arrogant or whatever but like I'm the. host I'm the pundit We're The Producers. what gets talked about has to go through. here what yeah like literally right here. right here to right here yeah and it's.

like. that's never going to happen where it's. going to become you know so I just it's. a very it's a cool thing with how. passionate people are and how mad people. got. but I think we have a real opportunity. here to change Sports media as a whole. because just like Stephen A and Skip had. success and everybody wanted to. replicate it if we're able to get in. there and showcase that hey you're able. to cover Sports in a celebratory fashion. in a way that you're happy for people as. opposed to trying to prove why people. shouldn't be in the position that.

they're in I think there's a chance that. that could maybe ooze in to other. decisions that are being made and we. have a real opportunity here to change a. narrative I think about an entire. division of people Sports media and I I. think it's I think it's one that I'm. incredibly honored to have oh yeah and. just like I said at the end of the video. like thankful that ESPN's people in. charge kind of see this as well but I. hope that there comes a time where. there's a lot of opportunity for not. only ex-players who have podcasts but.

just people who choose to cover Sports. in a way where it's like hey we're. [ __ ] we love competition if you want. to deal with the real world and. everything outside of it and negativity. you can and there's a lot of places for. that but here let's enjoy the greatness. that we get to watch so I hope we have. success I hope it works out great. they're going to take it on The Shins a. lot oh yeah yeah they're going to take. it on The Shins a lot the first couple. we are already I'm getting I'm getting. better but fans of this show are exactly. murdering me right now for this whole. thing and it's like you have no idea I.

don't know but they're going to take it. as well and we've had numerous convos. about how like hey let's go let's give. this a real go we're both gonna have to. Wade through a little bit but we'll be. good in the end and I'm very very very. very thankful uh that we're getting the. opportunity to be on every single. television. in America everywhere every single. [ __ ] television in America pretty. much our show is going to be on that's. good news that's not bad news and if. we're able to remain the same and I've. said [ __ ] five six times here every. single [ __ ] television in America. pretty much our show is going to be on. that's good news that's not bad news and.

if we're able to remain the same and. I've said [ __ ] five six times here. already and want to dial that back and I. didn't say like there's gonna be a. couple that slip through it's going to. happen. on the simulcast but please have faith. that we will we will be able to produce. a show that is entertaining and still. our soul and our spirit uh because that. is literally what the entire. conversation was other than that I am so. pumped to be a part of the ESPN dude. yesterday I was at these Disney upfronts. this is a suit Super Bowl yeah yeah this.

was the suit Super Bowl I had no idea. what I was walking into I actually LED. off no they did have a teleprompter and. oh okay all of them working uh well I. guess a couple of them dropped off right. before the whole thing started but like. Tech is a tech is a real nightmare but. the teleprompter. well this is kind of a great explanation. this is kind of the perfect yeah. embodiment yeah it is of the situation. here so these up front I've never been. to we've owned uh I've owned the digital. media company for five years never did. an upfront never been to an upfront. that's poor business decision I think.

now after what I just realized yesterday. but also I think we're an anomaly in. that particular front I don't know if. that's going to happen many times going. forward I let off with it but as I'm. talking to them and I'm watching it all. happen in the back there's a. teleprompter and it's big it's like it's. like that right bigger than that it is a. massive teleprompter in the back yeah. that's probably the right size well as. you look at this camera that's probably. the right size okay. I don't know how many [ __ ]. people are there huge I had no idea what.

I was walking into huge this stage holy. [ __ ] this thing is probably 75 yards. wide damn Jesus. bro it was one of the most I mean 75. yards that's that would be a bit much. still massive it's huge huge yeah. probably a football field wide LED. boards like. maybe 40 feet a couple stories huge. thing I did not know how. that was a big to-do yeah big deal.

that was a big to-do and I had no clue. did no research obviously but I had been. getting emails from the people that were. setting it up and like hey here's some. talking points here's what you should. maybe talk about and I'm just responding. like yeah yeah cool I'll see you guys. when you get there like just not even. really understanding like I thought this. was like Hey tips here are some things. for you look how [ __ ] big this is oh. my God that's where lavsky in the middle. there Dano Laura and Dez and then like. right to the left here there was this.

huge teleport I mean gigantic thing I've. ever seen the notes that were in the. email. were on that teleport oh okay and I. didn't even there was not even a thought. of looking at that thing not even a. single thought and then I guess Nick was. backstage and Nick heard he's not ready. to tell her he's he's not ready to tell. us they gave me two minutes that was. never gonna happen what are we talking. about one four five you know what I mean. did the whole thing had a blast but it. was the suit Super Bowl and in in the.

suit Super Bowl I met Serena Williams. yesterday [ __ ] Bro [ __ ] Serena. Williams she was talking to Elle Duncan. and uh I forget who else was in a. conversation somebody from ESPN. backstage before we went on because we. showed up late too I mean typical you. know yeah that's how it goes typical. like 25 minutes before show time we got. there had to do a couple pictures walked. through the city was sweating drenched. then go right backstage Show starting. hey you're on in like nine minutes so I. mean I walked in that place to when I. was on stage probably 24 minutes or so.

and I had to go through an entire thing. but as soon as we get backstage I see. Serena Williams like six feet from me. and I'm like oh my God so I interrupt. our conversation without Duncan I go I'm. so sorry you're the [ __ ] best dude. you're an absolute dog I mean you've. changed the world very nice to meet you. my name is Pat she shakes my hand okay. she's been holding a tennis racket a. long time long time strong it's grown. Real Deals wrong I'm like hell yeah man. I'm [ __ ] happy you existed I want to.

let you know that and then I walked away. and I'm like Serena [ __ ] Williams is. here and then all of a sudden guess who. pops by Ryan Seacrest like a lion holy. [ __ ] [ __ ] Ryan Seacrest is here the. Kardashians excuse me come on it's. [ __ ] come out in the elevator there. is a there is an entire uh film crew I. didn't know this many people could be on. one elevator to be honest with you we. were we were going on this elevator to. get to another part of the building or. whatever backstage we're waiting for the. elevator doors open up and when you see. the back of heads you know normally.

everybody's facing the elevator we see. backhands like five wide camera. microphone whole thing packed in there. me and Nick just kind of back up a. couple steps and we're with our guy. Billy who was assigned uh to us he's a. Disney liaison pretty much his kid's a. dog from New Jersey want the Ole Miss. love everything about him so we like. back out of the way because all the. people that are coming it's the they're. filming the Kardashian show with uh this. season finally right there uh Kim and. Chloe walk out I do believe and then a. couple of the others and it's a whole. team and I literally I don't know if. it's gonna make it kind of go holy [ __ ].

good luck out there that's literally all. they're saying they just the whole crew. just kind of meanders right thank you. yeah yeah they hold Meander around the. crew and then we hop in the elevator and. like this is absurd get up to the top. Michael Strahan is sitting here come on. then Joe Buck Troy Aikman are there and. then it's just one after another I go up. to a lounge Alex honold you know the guy. that was climbing yeah yeah he's just. sitting there hanging out or whatever. and uh it was after I got done speaking. and I'm like holy [ __ ] that's that guy. who just hangs off the side of cliffs or.

whatever so I walk over to him and I sit. down next to him because the show was on. TV so the lounge area was an interesting. thing I don't think we were acting right. in there what do you mean well there was. an open bar to the back left I've had a. baby two weeks ago I haven't really I. have a whiskey and diet what Nick orders. uh Maker's Mark pretty thick what and. then we start drinking it and we realize. nobody's making any noise at all and. nobody has used this bar at all it's. pretty big room pretty important group. of people so we just started whatever. Daniel olowsky after his riveting.

performance uh on the stage which it was. yeah it's a Shirley Temple he comes no. he got wine okay but then we started. laughing then the bachelor shows up uh. then Joe Buck Troy Aikman come walking. in Detroit dude it was like he started. like having a good time everybody else. watching the thing I didn't know what it. was supposed to be but that's what comes. with like joining a network it's like. all those connections that we would.

never have and if we did want to have. them the amount of work that would take. emails texts but legitimizing ourself to. people to get to the whole thing to get. to there it's like for the good of our. show for the good of everything we got. going on joining a Network that has. connections and access everywhere and. one that like wants you to succeed. because how much they're taking it on. The Shins right for signing us as well. yeah it's like it's only going to be a. great thing and I think last night.

walking around and just like. holy [ __ ] that's the [ __ ] who was the. cop who was the uh oh yeah oh Bo diddle. Caesar you know the dog guy Cesar Millan. he was there. I'm like hey I try to do you to my dog. it doesn't always work I don't think I. have enough intensity on that but I do. appreciate your service or whatever he. goes oh you should try and I'm like all. right yeah no that's all right Chuck's. not gonna listen all right he's still. pooping you met the real Demar Hamlin.

that's the actual clone type. I didn't I've never met the mar Hamlin. in my life okay okay including last. night or no yesterday I did is what I'm. saying though Nick's first question to. me and Nick is there did you fingerprint. him okay so that is kind of what Nick. said Nick said uh I didn't even think. about this I was going to just saying. Whirlwind what up tomorrow and stuff man. so cool what your body did you know what. I mean like good to see you here people.

said you were [ __ ] dead dude and your. body's like nah nah you know what I mean. I I'm I'm not gonna die that is an. amazing thing and it was crazy how we. all watched it uh are you good he's like. yeah I was practicing today did that. whole thing dap up picture he's. Pittsburgh guy who's his guy I got a. chance to meet him face to face awesome. interaction all right we're gonna get. out of here uh kind of that area and. leave Nick because you think that was. the real the more Hammond I'm like. what's your problem Nick it's a question. Nick what's your what's your problem. Nick I was like but it did feel I mean. it felt like uh okay but I don't know.

who the more Hammond was beforehand sure. if they found like a Paul McCartney. situation which is another conspiracy. where this guy is going to be even. better at football than Demar Hamlin. somehow and look exactly like him I'll. be very impressed but that was an actual. conversation happening around the. internet at one point during the Demar. Hamlin story and that's how dead he was. so that is why we kind of have to bring. up how strong this [ __ ] is in. fact he's already practicing he's. incredible that is literally what that. upfront was yesterday the suit Super. Bowl and then everybody pretty much saw. Peyton obviously saw Eli but Eli you.

know what I mean while we're walking. down the street rolls his windows down. oh my God is that Batman. who is that I look and it's Eli hanging. out his window or whatever so Eli good. to see you man are you going to the he. goes I was just there and then he said. yes. it was great dude it was awesome I had a. lot of fun and you saw future WWE Hall. of Famer Bianca Bel-Air and Montez Ford. hell yeah I saw the crawfords that was. incredible hell yeah good to see them it. was great dude it was awesome I had a.

blast it was the suit Super Bowl I had. no idea what I was walking into I had no. clue that I should have answered that. guy's notes you know what I mean for. sure yeah and the whole thing yeah but. also follow-up said [ __ ] at a Disney up. front which leads me back to. please do not expect us in our situation. together the same way as others have yes. in the past because I that's not how. this brain works it's not how this whole. thing works I feel like deep down I have. a good heart I mean well I feel like.

sports are a unifier so I'm very. comfortable being us it would never. agree to something that we weren't. because if we're to get attacked by. somebody for saying [ __ ] or covering. something in a funny way I'm okay. sitting in the pocket and defending us. yeah literally just happened with. something that just got settled for no. money at all or apology which some of. these networks that are reporting the. whole end of the Brett Favre lawsuit. it's like I am very confident in us I'm. very proud of us I'm very like okay with.

who we are and I always will be and. that's why the ESPN partnership is so. good because we're at a point in time. now where they recognize that as well. yeah now to the boys your thoughts toxic. table at Boston Connor had Ty Schmidt. yesterday you're reaction no like you. said I mean I think we kind of knew for. a while that the reaction was going to. be two-piece like that there were going. to be a lot of people who were pumped up. for us because I mean you texted me last. night and you were talking about the box. truck and it was like what'd you say. about you know how we're in a like there.

have been so many iterations of this. show like it's been the same the whole. time but like we have had to change and. like kind of evolve and do all these. different things like we were doing. shows from the back of a box truck with. no internet we're literally anything. that could go wrong was going wrong and. that was at a point where we couldn't. swear when we were all probably really. pissed off and you know like very. hot-headed and we still had to do it. three hours ago elsewhere no not not. when we were in the box truck I was told.

the whole time we did the show. no but it but it really is like you know. for all the people who don't have any. faith like. us going to ESPN2 like they know what. they're signing up for like to your. point like you've been lockstep with. these guys that you're talking to in. these positions of power like it's it's. much different than if ESPN hires. someone and they think they're getting. like a cookie cutter suit and tie person. who goes up there and then says some. [ __ ] that gets them in hot water it's. like they've seen the show they've seen.

the clips they know exactly what they're. getting with this show and it just like. I mean it's awesome you know digs. tweeted and I was thinking about it too. it's like I remember graduating from. high school and saying in my speech you. know about like. yeah but uh for what what do you mean. why'd you give a speech because I was a. valedictorian I mean. yeah. [Applause]. no but I was talking about like you know. don't be afraid to like you know do your.

capture your dreams or go after your. dreams you know it's basically a rip-off. of uh Rudy you know what what Pete says. to him before he dies I basically said. it word for word but I said in that I. was like I mean [ __ ] I want to work at. ESPN one day like you think that's gonna. happen like so like coming back to that. yesterday like the just the whole full. circle and then also just looking back. at everything we've done since we first. got here like it's it's [ __ ] wild man. it's crazy it is bananas and the box. truck days we're in Louisiana on a.

Thursday night in August yeah with no. [ __ ] air conditioning in the back of. the bike we had to do. I don't I don't want to like Pat. ourselves on the back too much here. there's been a lot of celebrating a lot. of things lately but we did a show every. single day five days a week two separate. podcasts too can be the live show. podcast had to be own content so we had. five days a week we did a three hour. show one of the days being in the back. of a box truck on location somewhere.

late nights while producing two podcasts. that were separate from the live show. every day Thursday Night Football in. those towns that we were doing showing. box trucks get up on Monday in New York. then we would do the show literally live. from one of the World Trade uh uh. buildings building uh I think it was. building two I would walk from get up to. this building we do our show live from. there on Monday fly home Tuesday live. show from Indianapolis Wednesday live. show from Indianapolis fly to where. Thursday Night Football is Wednesday.

evening Thursday doing show live from. box truck all the while having a. production meeting immediately. afterwards and before that show Thursday. Night Football in same town as that hop. on plane Friday show in Indianapolis two. hours Friday night plane college game. day the next morning playing back to. Indianapolis Sunday playing to New York. City start the week back over again that. was three to four months yeah so that. was our show at one point that box truck. we had to build yep okay so we had to.

build that Tim McAfee a couple others we. bought the box truck built the box truck. figured out how the box truck could work. out it's out there yeah it's like that. was just a few years ago now if we want. to do a show on the road it's going to. be pretty cool to be like hey ESPN well. you guys hate all this [ __ ] thank you. you guys you know do game day every week. and on location stuff we would like to. do a live show from boom is there any. way we could do that you got it bang. they set the thing up are we going to be. are we going to be able to be on the. internet yes well the microphones.

definitely work yeah why do you even ask. that question well well you know we've. actually every week. we've actually done shows live on. location where we had no microphones at. work that's tough but we made a show. yeah got a phone called into something. while we're from there talking through. phones connecting through another city. it's like building the studio in Tampa. yeah in a living room oh yeah it's like. this is the people I I the there were. some disrespectful [ __ ] being said a lot.

of it come on man we've been through it. here even though it's only been like. five years I think that underscores the. point too of like why you would go to. ESPN like it's not like a woe is me like. we get to do this this is [ __ ]. awesome this is our job and we get to do. this every day but like it is work like. there is serious work that goes into. producing one of these shows every. single day and we do it all in-house. like sales yeah and booking.

so like yeah like you can see like as. the longer you do that and you know when. more people watch and you get to a point. it's like okay well like how can we make. this better like I'd you know like you. don't want to have to wake up every. single morning and be like oh [ __ ] like. who we need three guests today like who. are we gonna get who are we gonna get. let's at 11 o'clock let's figure out how. we're gonna book the show in the next. hour like that kind of stuff is. stressful and it like it just adds more. [ __ ] onto your plate where it's like hey. we can't go out there and just perform. when the lights are on and do the show. like so when you go to a place like ESPN.

where they have kind of some of that the. bullpen of people exactly where. literally all we got to do is say hey we. need baseball today yeah basketball. today and we are just gonna now granted. guests are vital to this show and we. appreciate everybody that comes on this. show absolutely but the ability doesn't. say and I don't want to say be. I feel like it's disrespectful we have. somebody on the show and they're only on. for like four minutes right I feel like. sucks for everybody I feel like it's. disrespectful but with like an. expectation of us being an ESPN program.

and helping the ESPN family out which we. are honored to be a part of pump to be a. part of like I'm very pumped to be very. Burke magnus's [ __ ] team like and we. are going to work our asses off for this. to be successful oh it's like especially. a lot of that [ __ ] that was said yeah. yesterday I mean that was all pretty. disrespectful but also for the future of. sports media like we have an opportunity. to kind of change it a little bit so. we're going to want to do it sending a. text hey for a five minute or a four. minute hit for somebody from basketball. or baseball or any of these pickleball. tennis anything like hey we have a.

couple questions today about this person. can we have them on fire rapid fire. questions at them then we're back to. just doing what we do it's like. that is an absolute weapon to be able to. do that let alone the stars that ESPN. has already on their roster we're. getting a chance it's like our life gets. made easier for sure it gets made easier. absolutely and I think it gets a lot. better like I think the show gets a lot. better because well being able to show. NBA highlights this morning a joker.

having like a triple double in the first. half that's pretty nice yeah that'd be a. lot of fun think of us going bananas on. those things like that is joining a. network which every other show that you. ever. watch is all part of a network for sure. every single one of them yep I was I was. being called a. a soft ass [ __ ] shell out and then I. looked and the person has like. retweeting Mike Greenberg no not my. Greenberg but like other people or just. anyone yeah but like. those people are a part of a you know.

the behind the scenes those people have. a full Network helping them right we do. not have that like no it would be great. to be able to get some of that and. especially with a place. that has every television screen in. America pretty much it's like this is I. don't know it was it was a fun day. yesterday a lot of celebrating shout out. to the players Tyree kill yeah a little. love a lot of people on camera who. understand and been in the business sent. their love ex ESPN who built up ESPN. Eisen and others lebatore Center yeah. congratulations it's like it's a pretty. cool it was a pretty cool day yesterday.

in that faster at all well in all like. the examples that I saw because there. was a lot of good things on the internet. but you know for every good thing. there's it's not like our fans were the. Venus that's what this makes sense and. you said it in the video which I assume. they just didn't watch because a lot of. things that I saw was legitimately. addressed by that five and a half minute. video that you posted to make the Fox. 23 minutes after the Tweet went out so. they definitely didn't watch it yeah. exactly and the things that were said.

were just like you explained hey look. why would we as a group choose to go. somewhere that we would have to change. when you've seen what we've done the. last five years like there I thought. about this yesterday and I obviously. someone should go through the numbers. there probably hasn't been anyone that's. been at live as much as we have as a. sports program since coven like there's. no way that anybody has done that no. that's certainly the case we're the only. ones live yeah that's what I mean like.

race rights we were live during race. after covet we are pretty much the only. show I think that was live in the middle. of that whole thing it's like we took a. lot of pride in what we yes like I take. a lot of pride in what we've become in. the show we are so like the people that. are supposed to. you know who have helped us through this. whole thing like our own people just. murdering us yeah that was a little. devastating but. I also know. like it's this the way this show works. it's like. this is how.

the subjects of the show go yeah and. what would it what would what would they. make us do I was trying to think about. this on a plane last night with Nick I'm. like why is everybody so mad I didn't. understand why and not everybody. obviously why are all of these people so. mad about this whole thing and Nick said. well they think this will lead into this. and then this I'm like so ESPN's going. to give me a list of things I have to. say yeah exactly I don't understand how. that's going to work I don't I don't. I've been with me 36 years it's a long. time it's like.

I think like third grade on like telling. me something is a very difficult thing. to do now if we're together right if. we're thinking together yeah then I'm. with it I'm all in but like directing me. as an adult I don't think that is how I. operate and I don't I don't understand. if that's what people think is going to. happen I don't know tone Diggs here. Pac-Man Jones is here the absolute man. uh Pac-Man we can't wait to see you know. you continue to grow in our universe. this guy's a [ __ ] dog dude friends. with Stoner joining us now is a man who. has been a massive part of us joining.

ESPN and a guy who got me on game day. for the first time a man has been. pushing for this literally since the day. I met him in the back of a an Uber. um in Charlotte North Carolina airport. to hotel of the college football media. days Symposium that they have down there. oh yeah I just signed a deal to do. college football the day beforehand they. said we need you in Charlotte tomorrow. is that possible sure once again I had. no idea what I was walking into end up. in the back of a car with Kirk. herbstreet it's like a 30 minute drive. we talk to each other and then from that.

moment on it felt like hey this is. actual human here the face of college. football friend of mine ladies and. gentlemen. hey guys. hey congratulations to uh to Pat not. just you but to the whole group and I. like you said I. been a big fan of what you guys do and. how you do it for a long time and um we. were lucky enough to have you on game. day. uh last year and I I didn't notice you. changed your brand on Game Day last year. you were you uh the entire way through.

all the way to the end of the season and. that's what you'll continue to be. anybody that knows you knows that's the. only way you'll ever be. um command congrats man I'm fired up I. can't wait to hear how how yesterday. went. um you know in detail you're gonna have. to I just want to know when they when. Pac-Man what's up fellas what's up. everybody hope you guys are good I just. want to hear when you when they said how. did they say it at the up front how did. you come out did you do like a WWE Flex.

bro how did how did it how did it go. down I didn't know what I was walking. into you've been to those before. oh yeah oh yeah yeah that is the. corporate event I mean that is like you. know like uh comedians talk about like. doing corporate events or speaking your. corporate events and like that was the. suit Super Bowl you knew that that's. what I was walking into I had no idea. Herbie yeah yeah so I I the the times. I've done it I'm the dummy that does. what they say you know they're like okay. here's the price here's the prompter you.

know Al's gonna say this you're gonna. say that and Roger Goodell is gonna come. out and you guys just ask him a couple. I'm like okay all right and I'm like. there's there's no way you're gonna do. yeah but whatever their like rehearsal. was but I was like Patrick's gonna show. up and just like Shock the World with. whatever he's about to do I dropped a. [ __ ] in there did say that was a. one-time uh the the teleprompter that. the guy's name is John and I'd like to.

let John know it was nice meeting him he. had great hair John had great hair this. hair was fantastic he owns uh uh a. consulting company I think ooh he was a. part of the presentation of that whole. thing he was emailing me I didn't know. he was at like asking for like hey I. need your actual thoughts I was. literally just responding all right. sounds good see you guys at this time. see you this time all of his notes in. that email were on the teleprompter so I. think there was a chance John thought. and was probably telling the people that. he works for like hey this is what he's.

gonna they were sliding that I saw like. words just moving Nick in the back so. he's not reading the telephone there's. nothing that whole thing's happening. then they just the screen went black the. teleprompter and then they put like a. red x on it at one point and then a wrap. it up was put on there and I'm gonna. start laughing or whatever but like big. pop from the room afterwards where. they're like you didn't even read the. we're looking you did not read the the. teleprompter it was like no I had no. idea the teleprompter was that serious. it's a serious ordeal the teleprompter. is a big part of all thing I did not.

know that I had no [ __ ] idea Herbie. dude wait wait it say. s we're going to read their script I. think so yeah I think they did this. consulting company yeah it was uh it was. awesome Herbie that's what I'm saying. though like everybody who's like uh oh. they're gonna ruin them like how what. are we what are we even talking about. were you solo out there on the stage or. was there somebody out there with you no. yeah I came in so I didn't even know. what the stage was I should have done. more research you know this is just like. dating like I didn't do any research in.

uh the baby comes two weeks early I was. going to do the research right yeah but. it got you know what I mean people soon. there was a deadline that I had need to. learn that's got moved up boom all of a. sudden I'm [ __ ] I got nothing but I. didn't even look into this I had no idea. what this was and I talked to the boys. about this so we've owned a digital. media company for five years done zero. upfronts right like that is an abnormal. uh yeah abnormality boom there it is. tell everybody who's in the audience. everybody like every suit you could. imagine I think Gary Bettman was in the.

audience I think every advertising. agency which we have great relationships. with oh yeah State Farm us and. advertising agencies get along very very. very well they're all them are out there. because they're big script people too. you know they send you a script read the. script don't need any ad-libs okay do. your thing yeah we're not going to do. that and we've lost some companies that. were in the crowd probably yeah all. suits though Herbie every single one of. them that you could imagine were out. there and I did not know that I peeked. my head around the the curtain and I was.

like. audible oh [ __ ] oh all right okay Serena. just got done speaking and Al Duncan's. out there and then all of a sudden I'll. Douglas Pat McAfee and then I'm like. be a little different tough crowd though. I think I got him by the end I think I. got him I wasn't getting off that stage. by the time I got him. and follow you with Peyton there I mean. it was. it was a presentation. Peyton was there he talked about. um he talked about Omaha and everything.

Omaha's doing with him the Monday night. mailing he had a great way I mean he was. great I think directly after me. well I don't know Nick who was after me. do you remember. uh I don't recall because I ducked back. as well yeah because I got ushered off. and then I'm out of there and then I see. you know the Kardashians and Seacrest. and Strahan in the whole thing you know. what I mean that was a fool it was wild. over there dude. yeah I. but I.

I almost want to fly to New York just to. see. I wonder who like I wonder who knew you. know not a lot I didn't know any of. those people dude we were sitting. backstage all by ourselves we kind of. look like nerds everybody was uh my. gathering spider was there Donovan. Mitchell oh nice and he was sitting over. there he was there I should have went up. and talked to him a little bit more but. everybody like was kind of Meandering. over here chatting like social hour. before show starts me and Nick trying to. get my jacket off it was too small I. gained too much baby weight sweating.

trying to just get some air before I go. out there and we're just standing by. ourselves in the corner pretty much for. 10-15 minutes but you know next year. will be a little yeah we're not getting. invited about it. there's no way I get invited back to. that thing Herbie oh yeah oh yeah you. will yeah you will hey there's a lot of. money in that room Herbie you get a. chance to talk to that room you talk to. that room like you know what I mean. well they need all that money that money. for you and your team to be able to come. on over to the big boys no no I heard I. heard the reported number of what we got. yeah once again can we have a little.

[ __ ] thing you know what I mean one. time I understand these agents want me. to do terrible okay because I'm. negotiating my own [ __ ] deals so I. understand that but I got respect for. you guys okay I got I got respect for. what you do I would just like a little. bit in return you know. a little bit in return who who do you. think leaks that kind of information I. don't know well it's just like sports. stuff it's just like sports stuff like. why are people leaking information well. it makes them look good probably yeah. what size makes them look better like.

why is this information getting out you. know what I mean so always got to think. about that I don't care if the number. ever gets out but I don't like that my. business sense is also getting oh coded. the questions [ __ ]. I've heard so many different things what. what exactly you guys are gonna do. yeah it sucks you yeah it sucks but. you're losing service you're like the. main. yep sucks can't go through it all right. wish we could yeah sorry can't do it bad.

I see him on the screen yeah muted you. can see him but can't hear him he's. muted. zet's talking to him. ever seen him talking. calling him back I say Z I'm driving. over this goddamn overpass he's always. on a go this guy never stops bro okay. stop yeah hang out for a second he did.

Harvey how you doing pal.

[Music]. tell me. honestly the main things that you're. most excited about with this thing. because I. I there's so many different stories with. what you guys are going to be doing. what's what are the main the main. aspects of this this uh okay new. relationship I think good news good news. uh I'm very happy about it at least. uh game day is another you know we sign. a good good term deal for that hell yeah.

Herbie hell yeah heard me we got that. that's that's that was a part of the. whole convo that was cool. selfishly that that's big yes that's big. I love that hey me too selfishly I. [ __ ] love being on that show that is. a yeah that's wrestling. and football yeah gotta love it it is we. love we love having you buddy that's. that's huge. I don't know about everybody but I do. love the fact that you do because you're. the face of that goddamn show I. appreciate that whole thing but um we uh.

we'll go noon noon to two on ESPN linear. so we'll be on every television in. America yep and also ESPN's YouTube ESPN. plus and the ESPN app which numbers are. I heard it yesterday bigger and better. than ever before at The Upfront yeah. being on ESPN's YouTube live at the same. time as linear was a massive piece of. the conversation they had to thread a. real needle over there due to like. you know Deals they have with Comcast. and right TV and everything like that.

like they had to really that was a that. was a massive hold up for a couple. networks that we were talking to and. ESPN and Burke and Jimmy were like we'll. make it happen we'll make it happen so. like that I think I'm most excited about. because we'll be the first one that's. doing that and I assume this is what the. future is going to look like with. everybody pretty much so like I'm very. very pumped for us to get to do that. remain on YouTube live at the same time. as we're there because then you're. welcoming in a global audience exactly. at the same exact time and people that.

are working that can't be in front of a. TV like sports fans you know I know. there's a lot of different styles of. sports fans and that's why sports are so. incredible but you got a lot of blue. collar [ __ ] who have to work in. the middle of the day in the middle of. the week that can't necessarily get in. front of a TV it's like well YouTube. pocket phone we're there so it's like I. feel like that is a big I'm very very. very like. I don't want to say proud of that but. like I am pretty pumped about that. particular aspect and once again Jimmy. Burke and Bob all had to be 100 on board.

as well which makes me feel very good. about the future too of everything you. know what I mean Herbie. yeah for sure and I is this one like on. Fridays for game day will you will you. do your show yeah like if we're in Fort. Worth will you and I know you've always. done it on the road by yourself well you. and the and the guys all show up to that. or if there's a big NHL finals you know. at ESPN and it's in Edmonton or wherever. it is. especially with the team they got yeah.

if we're talking NFL talking finals I. don't know okay sorry about it not happy. yeah sorry about it once again Edmonton. though we'll be watching on YouTube yeah. that's right so like there's a uh there. is some people maybe in Edmonton but. yeah that was also another part of it. like we're doing shows out of the back. of a box truck where we didn't know if. we were going to be able to have. internet connection and if the. microphones are going to work we're in. the middle of Louisiana it was 155. degrees we had no clue but we wanted to. do live shows on location go experience. things so it's like now with ESPN's help.

that's a lot easier to kind of to your. point about game day I'm pretty sure or. yeah like that's what Friday is going to. be I think so and then I think we're. thinking I mean there's. so many thoughts now that we have the. ability to operate within the universe. of ESPN that has connections and access. everywhere you know now it's just time. to weaponize it almost from our. standpoint. so you know how we would be in a game. day production meeting. and um you'd whisper something to me.

about man I think it'd be better maybe. if we consider doing this and I'd be. like tell them tell them yeah I'm not. going to tell now that you're officially. part of the company well you now be. yourself and giving your editorial. thoughts on on shows your show your show. your show your show your show but there. I do know I do have a lot more Comfort. our show yeah but I'm joining your show. now I'm joining your show I mean have a.

little respect for what you built for 27. [ __ ] years okay but I do think I have. a little bit more comfort with the. humans and also a little bit more. knowledge on how the show goes you know. so like me coming in there week six. being like shouldn't do that with zero. real information on how the show goes. would have been. asinine in my eyes but I do appreciate. you empowering me to say stuff I. probably won't well and then that one. other thing do you think you'll ever. Envision yourself staying for games. so the because last year there was a.

game that last year your first show on. game day there was a Thursday night. special Backyard Brawl I wasn't there. which if anybody knows anything about it. you did you did game day no you wasn't. that game day no I didn't start until. Texas Texas. [Music]. yeah you're right because Pac-Man was. there on the field. on the field yeah had his crew around. him his camera crew around him getting.

content and he was cheering on the the. Mountaineers that night I thought you. were there and you bailed because you. leave for after every game day you never. stay for the game yeah it's because I'm. going to nap you know that's like the uh. that's literally my only afternoon off. in the football season entire week. because Sunday you know we're right back. boom gotta watch all the games then. Mondays right around the corner there. then Tuesday right Wednesday right then. Thursday then Friday all right then. Saturday game day and then I oh week.

three boom Sunday Monday Tuesday so it. was that but I think not a part of this. conversation is our convo with Omaha. with the uh the watch along things and I. think those are going to be live I. believe this year kind of like how the. playoffs were if that makes sense. okay how many of those are you gonna do. you can do it every week no no no no. it's a herpes. all right Herbie I mean James Louise. dude okay we are not.

but there'll be a couple I assume that. we'll be able to plan ahead for yes that. we know game day is going to be at and I. would assume those ones will be the ones. all right. what's your problem we got the [ __ ]. what's your problem dude oh dude dude I. just want you to [ __ ] watch a college. football game from the sideline I watch. on TV. I get to watch them on my phone it's. right there yes ask Pac-Man ask Pac-Man. the difference between standing on the. sideline in a Bengals game and standing. on the sideline at a college football.

game it's a different energy it is the. difference. a lot more more live at the college game. man I agree it was crazy we were there. at the college football playoffs that's. right we're on the field you should have. seen it on the field. huh you're working you're working when. you're doing it I'm talking about. watching too yeah I would say work watch. it if you love what you do you never. work dating hey man you gotta work day. in your life Irving you know what I mean. come on all right I do need to get. bigger headphones or something for this.

why very hard to hear each other yeah we. couldn't hear anything because how loud. it was to your point it is insanely loud. yeah well and then they fix it at the. national championship they just include. did all the noise that the fans are. making as well yeah which is good do you. remember. when microphones. that's right and they told us to be out. there and then they weren't out there. yeah well they was one person and that. guy sucked literally from moment one. yeah and which goes this goes like uh. this goes back to our relationship with. ESPN like right he wasn't there next. week ever no I got whatever they've.

really. hey I appreciate. Burke and Jimmy through this whole thing. have been awesome Kirk and I know you've. known them a lot longer than me but they. Bert I feel like Bert could I think he's. a guy I think he's a guy you know what I. mean no no doubt no doubt about it and. he's in a position now where he's right. there right you know he and Jimmy are. really gonna drive the company now for. the few foreseeable future and I'm when. you told me some of the things that were. going on you know to try to get this. deal done yeah it makes me makes me.

really happy that they realize how. important this was uh for the company. and for you to get it done and and. stepped in and kind of dropped the. hammer hammered down there we go hey I. like that hammer down hammer down. you see our video and the first was. AJ's gone suit and tie table tongue. Diggs we're not allowed to talk about. gambling anymore the internet reaction. has been absurd hey as an ESPN lifer. honestly why. yeah why is that I I was so I was so.

mind blown like damn I didn't know. people felt this way for real that was. like kind of rude what they were saying. like well I think I I I. yeah I think I think the the brand of. ESPN over the years you know I think. that for uh maybe the younger generation. yeah I have four Sons as you know you. know Jake real well and and Todd uh four. Sons 22 and younger and they watch they. watch a lot of YouTube and they watch. you obviously a ton and they don't watch.

a lot of linear you know TV and they're. my sons and so it kind of tells you. about. um you know where that generation is and. I think there's a perception. uh fairly or unfairly that ESPN or maybe. any network for that company for you and. the way you build your brand doing it. your way maybe there was a perception oh. God Pat finally sold out he got too big. here he goes you know he's we it's too. good to be true we knew it I'm like who.

would especially your own fans like who. would ever they were killing me Herbie I. was getting I was getting killed by him. I know but like you like you said your. own fans would think it's like anybody. who listens to you and your guys like. you you would never sign a contract or. you're gonna I mean listen to The. Upfront story you're like oh there's a. there's a prompter what am I you know. you just walked out there and you were. you that that was like your opening. remarks to be being a part of the ESPN. brand and that's not going to change.

nothing anybody can. those who knows you and your guys are. never going to change and that's not. what ESPN would not hire you to say okay. now come over here and get in this. little box see but I think people think. that about anything yeah absolutely. which is the problem like people think. that and and I I don't know how that. became the immediate thing I guess. instead of blaming talent I guess. they're just blaming the network as a. whole as a whole which is interesting. and we lose the service I mean this guy. of course oh you're in the back of a box. truck bro. there you go hey he's back anyways but.

why all right oh he looks pretty good. see me yeah you look good this is the. best there we go so so I'm I'm about to. get into uh Tennessee I'm leaving. Kentucky and almost to Tennessee I don't. know what the I don't know what's going. on can you still hear me and see me yeah. well so you're the only ten we've seen. if you can still hear me I would say he. and it's changed a lot from when you.

were in college and I was in college so. the way it is now you know I think their. their weekly programming's very very. different what it used to be you know so. maybe people assume you're just going to. become like everybody else and um the. point is you're obviously going to be. you and all you guys are going to be. yourselves we're gonna try we got a lot. of respect for a lot of people over. there oh you're not saying that the. debates are going to be gone forever and. the other analysis is going to be gone. forever but it is nice to hear that the. people in leadership are like hey you. know what we're allowed to we'll.

sprinkle well have a good time here and. if we want to and uh we're honored to be. a part of it just like we're honored to. be your friend pal safe travel is down. in Tennessee and tell those dogs to lay. you know what I mean like Caesar says. that's awesome. truck that's a big truck you've earned. that truck yes yes. hey one last thing tell tell Pac-Man I. think it's week two or week three x and. Withrow are going at it they're loaded.

this year they've got a bunch a bunch of. transfers and oh I know uh pretendery. sun is is there now I mean that that'll. be a a great game I'm sure you'll be. there watch it yeah that's one of the. ones we got to make I think he got that. one circled on the calendar right there. that's a good big game he's what six. what yeah six four and a half six four. and a half runs four four. gosh yeah wow I wonder if they got a. quarterback can keep up with him but if. they do oh they got the uh molar I think. yeah quarterback yeah we got a.

quarterback yeah that's the sophomore. kid. he'll be a senior. hey the dude that played quarterback the. night that you went to the game with ax. and Moeller he left like that week I. think they played a freshman the next. week no and that guy the guy that you. saw left he transferred and he's at. Withrow now you saw that but they had. him play in tight end I think when he. put the uh the sophomore I thought he.

was a sophomore quarterback same as. Chase. no they had a they had a freshman he's. good hey that freshman with Sal did the. LaSalle kid is really good talented. sophomore. um the kid you saw that that first game. you went to yeah and they brought the. sophomore and they moved that other kid. to Titan that was LaSalle okay we were. yelling at the referee yeah yeah you're. yelling at the referee yeah they're. [ __ ] over the kids there's no there's. no replay either so so Authority is all. this ref that certainly has an agenda it.

was it was right in front of me clearly. clearly inbounds on that catch what are. we even talking about here not only are. you taking away a great play that this. kid will remember forever but also stats. for our guy's kid here an extra 45 yards. here the second game high school. football or something yeah especially in. Ohio especially yeah that's a whole. thing. it'll be it'll be a good one it'll be a. good one you guys have a have a great. show love you guys glad you're part of. uh of the team and look forward to this.

future with you guys being there hell. yeah you're the man ladies and gentlemen. pack. a lot of talking about me in this uh. this program in the move and obviously. I've been in the house with beautiful. baby and beautiful wife for two weeks. first time out and about here was. yesterday missed my baby I saw myself. looking at pictures while we were flying. and things like that that was. interesting today same thing like text. updates here kind of figuring out the. whole dad life there's a lot that we. need to talk about though yeah there's a. lot that happened in the Sports World I.

can't wait to dive into I think we just. covered us enough there yeah yeah and. cleared up all the questions that. potentially could have erosed I think so. everybody will listen to it oh yeah for. sure it will definitely sway a lot of. opinions of people who are pissed yeah. sure that is something that certainly. all the questions all the concerns we. have questions people were pissed. yesterday they're going to watch it and. say I don't even know why I was upset. what are we even talking about. in a day's time yes yeah yeah especially.

if you took a really firm public stance. yeah exactly they're known to just. really quickly who knows though maybe. like yesterday it was sell out in all. caps and today it's just like sell out. with a capital S you're right you know I. found out yes there's a lot of people on. the internet who've never seen one. Avengers or like Marvel movie ever so. I mean I almost LED with that at the. Disney upfront I've never seen any of. these Yeah well yeah I was walking down. the hallway all these characters would. look awesome I don't know who any of. them are I said oh that's Darth Vader. was another movie uh Nick had to correct.

me that's that one no completely. different movement it was embarrassing. yeah it was tough I didn't know any of. the [ __ ] that was going on what about. the Hulk you're in anomaly I know the. Hulk obviously nice the only one I don't. know Iron Man. shout out. so bond is like their Captain America. England's. um no because he's not a superhero he's.

he bond is like there to TC he's like. they're easy trailer second trailer came. out today oh boy yeah unbelievable it. looks so good so like Jaws music you. remember I'd say like Monday Night. Football music you remember Masters. Masters music you remember that mission. impossible. like I even dove into the impossible. series there with Evan is that his name. Ethan Hunt there it is Ethan I haven't. dove into that whole thing but I do know.

the music and as I was watching that. trailer I'm like gotta be pretty cool. that that's there. as Tom's doing something [ __ ] absurd. oh yeah it's good [ __ ] all right let's. get to a break on the other side we'll. talk about everything happening in. Sports World I can't wait to dive into. it all I've missed a lot but a lot has. been covered by you guys in an. incredible fashion yeah we missed you. guys we certainly miss you no no you. guys did an incredible job I understand. why people watch the program by the way. I was watching some other shows that. were on TV throughout the day sure yeah.

really proud of you guys okay. not just in a sports world they're all. all over actually watch a lot of red. table that's canceled I think yeah. Zuckerberg after winning the Jiu Jitsu. tournament he said also. red table talk has been canceled. immediately. uh on internet report I don't know if. it's true or not that he's the one. teaching too how to fall. that would be huge news all right. he might be the one that creates the.

helmet yeah that's why Elon hasn't said. you know what I'll create one of these. airbags quarterback helmets yeah he's. too busy setting TC up in his face for. his next movie oh is he a part of the. show he's gonna ride the rocket up and. have it kind of like a horse range on. the top of it I tweeted Elon because he. talked about. um the creators split on Twitter and. what it's going to be and everything. like that I said oh that's dope man also. been sitting on this for like a month. next day. he sees everything yeah he does he does.

I think he [ __ ] lives on there he. plugs in at night. I was wondering I was like Does Elon not. like us because like uh top tweets. we won't be. in top tweets even if we have more. action than everything else that's on. there then the application thing for. this thing he was like promoting was. just like uh we're reviewing it and. everything I'm like Does Elon does he. because I feel like he does potentially. yeah take all the information. is it because we've just called him an. alien literally since the first time.

like is he offended by us saying he. couldn't be shouldn't be it's a. compliment dude we experienced it last. year or two with the giveaways they. don't do like the use this hashtag and. put it up there yeah they would bear. they would bury us it's like Elon what. the [ __ ] yeah everybody's mad at you. know. you know uh buying it or whatever and. I'm like wow we've been through four. ownership groups of Twitter here love. Twitter Twitter is always going to be. and then I start seeing little things. I'm like what the [ __ ] yeah we love. Twitter there's no reason why we're fans. now you can write blogs on there too.

which is sweet that was cool. [Music]. have you noticed that every Tweet now. like it'll say Geotech from Earth so. like his plan is easy the X app bro he's. trying to create the X out which started. out as a tweet from somebody saying. Elon needs to make uh everything happen. and he's like not a bad idea that's. genius yeah let me revisit this in like. four years I need to make some flame. throwers first some tunnels get this. cyber truck out there then I'll get into. the app game.

so he's gonna put Amazon Twitter. YouTube what Instagram I assume yeah all. into one app yep yeah maybe Spotify. throwing some music or something I think. it's doordash on there too I mean there. we go yeah that'd be good that hey. door that shadow entertaining I'm sure. ubereats is good too but yeah that ought. to do the trick yeah yeah I'd say yeah. AJ better have done his [ __ ] homework. he sent me a text this morning he said. what's that program quality you guys I.

think you should leave all right. thinking of leaving we'll leave his. first hour behind we'll get into the. second hour we got jet pass and joining. us today too at 205. yeah we're trying. to have a couple of ESPN folks that uh. or our friends join us today in a. celebration try to get our lovsky but. he's making the world a better place of. course that's classic Dane got a chance. to chat with him last night for a while. yeah him him putting his tweet out it's. great to be teammates again yep it's. like Daniel prayer hands we get it then. okay respect the excitement and then.

Marshawn me too and Marshawn getting it. like. literally as we landed in New York we. got his cheese he always finds his. cheese yeah he does shout out to. Marshawn though he put in one of the. articles that we were negotiating with. apple we were not but that certainly. that certainly uh helped the whole. conversation uh we'll be back in about. five be a friend tell a friend something. nice Take Five.

ladies and and fellas I'll see you later. I'd also like to announce that the toxic. table will no longer be toxic no no. instead they'll be the suit and tie. table. we're not done tone Diggs who grew up on. the same exact street as me will still. be talking about gambling but not on my. show anymore no no only on Hammer Don.

hell yeah Yeehaw buddy. and last but not least our show will be. moving into a block format so the boys. in the back will have their hands full. with the a block the B Block the C block. and the D Block every damn day all right. that was a lot we ain't changing a damn. thing that was literally the starter for.

every conversation with everybody that's. up to something seasoned dead middle. probably of course right now and I must. say it was a wild up to something season. this year everything's moving and. escalating quickly and the only reason. it happens is because you people watch. it ended with four significant offers. from four great platforms slash networks. that were all represented by fantastic. human beings it was truly an honor. getting to talk and meet with everybody. from everywhere I appreciate you all I. think I relayed that message enough for.

you to understand that all a lot of. massive news coming out of this. particular operation and it's the. biggest this is this is big what I. described covered in these negotiations. that I represented Us in is that our. show is what a lot of these suit folk. are now viewing as the future of daily. Sports Talk I think that's a really cool. thing a few years back none of these. networks would even give me a meeting. now we're the tip of the Spear of what. sports media needs to be in its next. chapter I'm honored that what the boys.

are fans and I have created has been. studied accepted and ultimately. seemingly appreciated by these. multi-billion dollar networks with. hundreds if not thousands of employees. it only happens because all you. [ __ ] that watch and follow. along with that being said the rumors. were accurate but they didn't tell the. entire tale beginning this fall our show. will be live on ESPN ESPN plus and. ESPN's YouTube all at the same damn time.

foreign. it'll be get up first take then our. program on ESPN and ESPN Plus in our. show will be live on ESPN's YouTube as. well I wouldn't agree to a deal if we. couldn't continue to hang out every day. with the YouTube Community this show. will always remain free to people just. know that this YouTube thing here this. will always exist it was actually a. sticking point in some conversations. with some networks and now our show will. also be on in every Airport Cafe.

Restaurant house Etc with the. incomparable power of ESPN out of. respect for that we have decided that we. won't be saying [ __ ] nearly as much but. every other word is good to go shout out. Michael Jordan in the last dance they. had a lot of success he said [ __ ] all. the time we won't be doing that because. it's middle of the day but everything. else will be good this guy's a loose. cannon yeah this part's important though. for folks who were speaking out of. pocket and rather disrespectful last.

week. relax we will still have full creative. control of the program I will never ever. sacrifice this show for anything why. would ESPN want to license our show and. then change it entirely that would make. no sense why would I want to go to a. place and have to change the program. entirely that makes no sense we're too. dumb to change Jimmy pataro and I have. had incredible conversations about what. ESPN can look like tomorrow and how it.

doesn't have to be what it looked like. yesterday or even today the program will. never lose its Soul the toxic table is. still going to be AJ Hawk ain't going. anywhere Aaron Rodgers Tuesday and my. intention was to play for the New York. Jets in the trenches everything DB coach. P's Keys our show is still our show just. with a bit more reach in Access due to. partnering with the worldwide leader in. closing we are insanely honored that. Paisano Jimmy potaro brand new president.

of content Burke Magnus and Bob shout. out Bob Iger for blessing us with this. opportunity to be a part of the next. chapter of the ESPN family. we do not take that lightly we're going. to work our asses off to make sure this. is a success not only because of those. fine gentlemen's faith in us but also. said at other shows just like ours can. see these same types of opportunities in. the future ESPN will still have its. debates and super serious and riveting. analysis. crack but all parties involved agree.

that the time has come for a bunch of. sports Stooges in a Thunderdome in. Indiana. to sprinkle in some fun and some. celebration of sport as well. back in this saddle tomorrow I wait to. see you. for any more questions that potentially. come in the next 24 hours let's continue. to do some historic [ __ ] together this. fall let's change the game.

forever. cheers and thank you all I am eternally. grateful. hey why let's. go. this show [ __ ] stinks and the fact. that you listen we are very very. thankful for AJ never cease to amaze me. with your toxicity pal you got a couple. of these God damn it what the [ __ ] are. you doing.

and we'll continue to do. as long as we have microphones in front. of us speaking of microphones in front. of them it's the toxic table at Boston. Connor and that Ty Schmidt one half of. the hammer Cowboys tone digs and a man. who was a 14-year NFL Corner an absolute. icon in Legend Adam Pac-Man Jones. Chris C pack you look so cool appreciate. it brother hat folded up it's always a. cool hair all the way down smell me you. look like kind of skater boy right now. yeah a little bit I'll just get a little. bit you know can you really do a little. couple yeah I can't skateboard yeah like.

kickflip not really good at all the. tricks and stuff but okay let me talk. about this. skating like obviously back in the day. it was like Counter Culture yes did that. whole thing had a run dude Tony Hawk's. Pro Skater Tony Hawk brought it back. boom everything and then it kind of uh. in the mainstream where I know skaters. are always going to skate and everything. like that but in the mainstream World. kind of dropped off X Games kind of lost. its luster a little bit for sure and. then like skate games kind of and then. all of a sudden it feels like it had a a. massive bounce back with the Olympics.

and Wheezy coming out of jail yeah. Wheezy comes out of jail yeah starts. skating I did he get a skateboard in. jail like was that his monster because. that would be something you only have a. combined confined amount of space just. practicing kickflips all day and you can. got a couple rails yeah yeah rails right. there in the thing like that would be. the perfect. literally nothing tomorrow or the next. month right so if you jump slip slide.

hit your back or head it's like all. right I guess I'll just lay down for the. next 5 10 15 20 days exactly take it. easy is that what happened if we ever. heard the story because I think truck. fit right came from that whole thing and. then it kind of like started taking off. and people that I would never guess. they're like oh you got skateboards like. me no I can't [ __ ] stand on one of. those things I'll just go on last year. I'm like bro you're [ __ ] 30. what are. we you're trying what are we doing like. yeah I love it though and then all of a. sudden they're hollying and [ __ ] like. that I'm like what is the deal you skate. for real no no no I know how to.

skateboard I don't just I'm not a big. skater but I do know how to skateboard. that was the first thing we got in the. projects was a skateboard really I did. not know that yeah skateboard is the. first thing you get in the project how'd. you do it did you use it or yeah as a. kid I was pretty good I'm pretty good. I'm good on my feet are you so yeah. because he confirmed yeah one ball well. and then we're talking basketball me and. Pat we've never lost to you in anything. in basketball you don't play once I was. those two in skating though if it means.

side of a mountain crazy horse face yeah. right AJ Hawk. [Applause]. everybody act like I didn't say that. right there but let's remember that I. said that let's do it tomorrow AJ thank. you for traveling out here bud you're. the best oh it was fun it was fun to be. there in person with the boys and you. know feel the energy so yeah it was good. man I had a good time it's good to have. you back though that's for sure no no no. you were a good program to watch I told.

the boys this earlier when I was at home. you know with the wife and we're just. watching TV literally all day I looked. forward to listening to you guys chat. every single day so I appreciate the. fact that I get to work alongside you. now with that being said AJ uh we. started a video with this yeah you are. leaving the program right now yeah you. saw me you saw my acting skills I'm out. of here man acting how about the laugh. track foxy putting that thing my. favorite yeah I laughed I laughed a good. bit whenever it got sent in there you. know concept idea what is it let's do.

that and then foxy piecing it together I. did not expect a laugh track first time. I was watching it I was like oh. and then uh we had to really Hammer home. the fact that that first minute and 10. seconds was all [ __ ] though Maury. Povich getting out in there foxy genius. no right when you told me to do that. because I knew we needed a better. transition and you immediately texted me. not yet Maury that was all a lie yeah. yeah we need that whole thing in there. it was uh it was a good time and AJ. we're lucky and thankful you're hey. you're go you're selling out yeah that's.

right. I'm not. that is me yep everyone everyone sells. out don't they everybody not Jesus. Christ. amen you're right thank you boom thank. you Connor suck it jeez are we sure. about that though it did get sold out he. didn't sell out yeah by that son of a. [ __ ]. there it is that [ __ ]. one of the worst heels of all time yeah.

uh we will have to figure out a word so. like this is a thing now now it becomes. a part of the show uh and I offered up. the less [ __ ] just out of like Partners. you're doing business with people yeah. like hey let's let's do a little bit. here so I offered that they didn't that. was not something that they were like. no more [ __ ] The Barking yeah. so I offered up that we can we can limit. it you know what I mean I I offer like. we could certainly bring down the [ __ ].

if we had to because you know we are. going to be air and we don't need people. to not want our show because we say a. word like we would like you to come. enjoy life in sport and take a mental. vacation with us there's no reason for. us to add in a reason that is not worth. it to just offend people that could. potentially be there that could join our. community and hopefully change Sports. media. for a long time like I'm hoping that. that happens so we limited it but it is. gonna that one's gonna be tough AJ that. one's what about like uh I mean how do.

they feel about you know all the. doubleheader talk and Epstein and all of. that yeah so like what. how is that what changes that's what I'm. saying it's gonna be great that's what. I'm saying what what I don't understand. so you're telling me AJ's brain isn't. immediately going to do that and then. what he's just gonna say yeah. yeah I have a hard time I have a hard. time holding things in as I get older so. I don't know yeah it'll still be the. same yeah and you know babies Tootsie. Rolls yeah.

he's still flashing that thing we're. gonna have to talk about it we don't. want to no I did think I did think last. night to Nick while we were flying back. the first what four five ten times yeah. something like that starts happening. again we didn't create this okay but. there is. Rumblings on the internet that are. saying we have to tell you that this is. happening people that are watching you. might not know that this is happening it. is our duty to let you know this guy.

like the NFL is scripted conville we saw. that what like actually eight weeks. ahead of when it came out it was like. Hey There is people now in every single. bucket of the internet that we follow. and watch and know that are starting to. say the same thing it's only a matter of. time before this becomes uh it was like. we're gonna talk about that have to like. what our show covers how we cover it. we'll always have to be because that's. what our [ __ ] show is why would they. spend the money they're spending to get. a show that isn't that I don't I'm so. good they want to get they yeah they.

want the show to be good right and if. they want to like they know it'll be. terrible if we try to change and become. super corporate yeah one of uh. uh one students uh for the teleprompter. that I yeah I didn't know was such a big. deal geez Louise that prompters. everything AJ I did not know that at The. Upfront I had no idea I saw something. that was Kirk yeah I read I reread. through the emails my responses to that. guy. he was definitely trying to get a hey. what are you give and take what are you. going to say what are you think in here.

sounds good yeah your examples are good. ones you know a lot of uh he's gonna. read it yeah that whole I set him up he. because he had to tell his boss I assume. yeah we got it down he's gonna say yes. you know this he's gonna do that and. then he's out of here many 32 minutes I. read through it four or five different. times we don't think there's gonna be. any pop breaks in here so no waste of. time there I mean no chance of that but. that is exactly what we're talking about. here you know what I mean AJ yeah yeah. of course I mean I understand people.

don't watch the video but yeah your. video that you made does explain a lot. of it but I I do get I understand not. everybody is able to see that I know. they don't take the time oh let's look. positive now let's look positive now how. about we're gonna be on [ __ ] ESPN. dude yeah come on how about this I think. it's a positive thing that people are. pissed and they're worried the show's. gonna change but thank you for enjoying. the program so yeah we are here to. ensure you that it will be the same. hopefully how about when we just started. this particular operation here McAfee. and Hawk Sports Talk and things of that. nature yeah was the name of the show.

that's right that was great that was. during covid and we're talking about no. Sports at all and then here we are three. years later covert has officially been. yeah not listed as a National Emergency. everybody we did it we lost a lot of. great people it was a real son of a. [ __ ] sad it was very sad but that we're. officially out of the woods still got to. worry about it forever but also other. things that kill people not saying it's. the same but that is what that's what. we're told. smarter than us but now we're going to.

be on ESPN think about hashtag ESPN. stinks we tried it two years ago was. that two years ago yeah. two years ago going into the 2021. football season yep that was two years. ago it's like now. we're getting an opportunity to partner. with them and I think it's crazy it. really is a crazy development AJ it's. [ __ ] bananas yeah I would say the. whole uh yeah I'd say the whole last. five or six years have been pretty crazy. sure yeah yeah sure yeah yeah. did you watch I saw a little I saw the.

first two I believe yes you get it of. season one yeah I saw the yeah it's just. such a bizarre show yeah like it's Yeah. the more you think about what they're. doing that's what makes it even funnier. like boom this is a show and think about. him explaining it to somebody yeah who's. like a camera person or like just. somebody that has to operate and tell. him what they're planning on doing yeah. but that's the part yeah yeah this is. supposed to be fun this is going to be. funny yeah just just be quiet you just.

trust me yeah just do it yeah him trying. to sell that how about Netflix buying it. like I I respect Netflix hearings so. they're gonna move lunch okay he's gonna. cancel lunch I'm gonna have a two foot. hot dog in my sleeve I'm gonna continue. to eat it during the lunch meeting I'm. so tired I don't know I want to know. which what the first two are that he saw. because like is it the hat is the Hat. one in there I think the haunted house. is in there no this is season one I. watched it I watched them when they're. they're eating the third receipts the. third gift oh yeah yep and he dies in.

the car yeah like this that thing keeps. getting more bizarre as the episode goes. so the Hot Dog episode it ends with a. full I mean I think it takes a turn. quick oh yeah it is he starts the dude's. a Madman he starts trying to kill a guy. yeah I think it's next for me he's. humble what'd you say did you watch when. I say you by any chance the where they. show up as dinner guests and they're. late no oh it's great it is a good one. all right anyway so let's move on let's. talk about sports AJ congrats you you. sell out yeah.

sell out tables. so a skater boy Jones. don't even get me started on Nick you. [ __ ] seller. Nikki skating seller anyways we gotta. think of a new word for the uh the f. word though yeah baby we love. brainstorming ideas you sell out and Son. see I wonder when they were dropping it.

on the last dance like did ESPN get hell. for that because I feel like universally. that was love no so that was actually a. part of the if you heard in the video I. said yeah shout out Michael Jordan in. the Last Dance that whole thing it was. at nine o'clock so I think like that was. a massive we're the middle of the day. though yeah so. you know it is a little definitely. different we'll find a way we'll figure. it out hopefully speaking of figuring it. out let's hope John Moran figures it out. I've been watching this at home AJ you. know following along with how it's all. going and the internet and when I first.

saw the video my immediate reaction was. like okay why is this friend even. potentially putting that on the internet. need to eliminate that person from his. Circle that person trying to profit. benefit off the job I immediately start. thinking about that then you watch the. video a little bit more and it's like I. don't know if the guy thought the job. was going to pull out his gun yeah. because soon as he does he puts it down. but did he do that on purpose as like oh. I'm gonna steal a little got him and. then I'm gonna be out of here like. that's how I think just because my. immediate thought is like man we got to. get better people around John Moran was.

my take like when this happened in March. gotta get better people around you hey. John you're not a standard 23 23 year. old bro like you are you have a shoe. you're this you're a human you're a part. of Americana so everything you do is. being watched and fall followed and with. what happened in March at least give us. a year cheers six months a year doing. this two months later it's like this is. a this is a tough tough thing and it's. hard not to get a little negative like. this motherfucker's Never Gonna figure.

it out yeah but you can't he's 23 years. old he's got so much promise so much. talent the future the NBA needs him you. just got to Hope at some point he. realizes that and he gets some new. people around him because I do think. that is a part of the problem and. hopefully he'll be able to mature and be. a different person but it's hard to. stick up for him at all with how. optically dumb this appears to be not. along the fact like okay I am not I have. guns hey let's not get crazy legal guns. have them I am not uh I am not an.

anti-gun human I understand that there. should be some things that are much. smarter done and who gets guns how they. get done do you need a hundred Barrel. you know like there's that whole. conversation I don't know how that gets. figured out. hopefully people much smarter than us do. that so I'm not like an anti-gun human. being because there's places in the. world where people actually feel as if. they have to have it alongside of them. because if they don't the person's going. to do it there's people that are. literally outdoorsmen and they hunt and.

kill their food that their family eats. like that still happens that is going to. take place hunting is a hobby even. though people don't love it it happens. in parts of the world in America that we. just it happens like this is just what. takes place so that conversation is a. crazy one but jaw doing that and knowing. what just happened two months ago I. think is so stupid I just think it's so. so dumb obviously people are saying. dangerous because he's Reckless with it. and everything like that but my biggest. issue is how dumb it is and he needs not.

do it anymore Pac-Man I think the world. is very excited to hear your thoughts on. this because you were a guy [ __ ] up. right got some [ __ ] yeah found yourself. in some situations very serious and I. think the world is excited to hear your. thoughts on it here we are two months. later after a [ __ ] up that was very. public very big deal spending eight. games cost them 39 million on a Max. contract because he didn't win uh NBA. all NBA and everything like that so what. are your thoughts on it do you think he. ever changes back. um first and foremost you know I've been. down this road I'm just if I could just.

have a one-on-one conversation with him. the first thing I would tell him is. get a get rid of everybody that's riding. in your car in your Rolls-Royce it. looked like it was in a Rolls-Royce. truck not to me I'm quite sure the guy. that was video uh couldn't afford the. car. um but what you did is it's not a crime. so I'm not shooting at you I'm I'm just. talking to you as a big brother which. that's not a crime to have a gun you. have a right to have a gun but.

a wise man told me he said hey man if. you ever want to be successful his name. is Jerry Jones he said if you ever want. to play this game again. you got to stop doing [ __ ] with your ass. out in the street. and at the time I didn't understand it. it took me a year to understand I got. everything took away from me and then I. understood what Jerry was saying and. thank God that I had someone like Jerry. that was willing to dig me out of that. hole and give me another shot which. today you know everything is.

unbelievable but what I'm saying is if. he don't figure out. how to stop doing [ __ ] with his ass out. in the street and stop listening to. [ __ ] NBA young boy and thank NBA. young boy is the real [ __ ] world. he bought the [ __ ] up everything and. it's not going to be funny in a couple. months or if we go through this one more. time because the way Adam Silver was. talking other day he was hurt first of. all and second of all these people are. not going to [ __ ] up these million.

dollar franchises that's got all of. these sponsors I mean billion dollar. franchises they got all of these. sponsors and these kids are looking up. to you at a certain point in time bro. you gotta figure out what you want to do. if you're scared for your safety go get. you a [ __ ] security guard yeah which. probably has happened a lot of places. yeah a lot of people have gotten. security guards because they felt and. threatened and potentially uh like. people want to do very very ill things. to people this has happened I believe. numerous times in the history of.

professional sports people feel like. they you know either. for a situation to happen with a woman. or any other situations that arise. people are fearing for the fact that. they're a public figure people will know. where you're at and when you're at a. place it's being announced to people and. you have a lot to lose this happens so. people hire security and then it's. security doing the flexing and the. talking as opposed to you but to your. point about the NBA young boy uh stuff. nothing but NBA youngboy go make all the. money you can they got no problem with.

that at all but whenever you start. thinking about people saying well the. music is the reason why it's like you. got people fighting I said no it's their. art they're just telling a story and. everything like that well there's some. people that like just buy in to what the. story is that they're told and they envy. that story and they want people to think. that they are that story and I think. it's been happening since the beginning. of time when you talk about movies uh. video games music for sure I listen to. trap rap music I listen to drug dealing.

music I listen to and I view it as. motivation so I'm like all right these. people we're going we're going we're. going there's some people that take it. as like a script on how they're supposed. to be yeah and it's like I think a lot. of us are confused like John you don't. have to be like that bro like everybody. has respect for who the [ __ ] you are as. a basketball player as a human I feel. like he thinks that he has to be this. person and people are respect him it's. like yo. complete opposite we're actually. thinking you're a [ __ ] idiot right. now so let's go ahead and change that. you know what I mean AJ yeah it's.

interesting what pack said like with. with Jerry to kind of snap him out of it. it took everything getting taken away. for him to understand like what like how. how what it all truly meant to him and I. with what Adam Silver spoke in that. interview I I'd be worried if I was a. job like it sounds like it's going to be. a big suspension it feels like it you. know whenever I'm not. I'm not at the NBA draft shout out to. the Spurs dude shout out to the Pistons. dropping to five after tank.

the draft here's Adam Silver before the. draft talking about the John Moran. situation he's not mad no no no just. disappointed. we talked directly about the. consequences first before we got to a. subsequent. um. potential to have done something wrong. we were very focused on the misconduct. that was in front of us at the time and. and frankly most of our conversation was. about how incredibly serious the first.

incident was of waving you know a. firearm you know on social media and. again you know the and the consequences. there an eight game suspension was. pretty serious and something that he at. least to me seemed to take incredibly. seriously in that time and we spoke for. a long time about not just the. consequences that could have on his. career but the safety issues around it.

um could have injured maimed killed. himself someone else. with an act like that and also the. acknowledgment that as you said he's a. star I mean he has an incredibly huge. following and that my concern and I. thought he shared with me that Millions. if not tens of millions of kids globally. would see him as having done something. that was celebrating in a way. you know that that act of of sort of of.

so of of using a firearm in that fashion. and so I at least was left. um with the sense that he was taking. this incredibly seriously so. honestly I was shocked. when I saw this weekend that video now. we're in the process of investigating it. um and we'll figure out exactly what. happened to the best we can then it's. again it's the videos of the grainy and. all that but I'm assuming the worst you.

know and but we'll we'll figure out you. know exactly what happened there I think. any gun advocate even the people that. are like uh it was legal what he did. would say like Reckless gun ownership is. not good either yeah so whenever you're. just bopping around a gun like I don't. think any gun pro-gun person is going to. say yeah that that's what we're fighting. for like those are the gun rights and I. had a teammate zirlon Tipton he was a. running back and a special teamer and. I've everybody [ __ ] loves zirlon he. uh he was the man I [ __ ] loved him I.

got along with him very very well he's. from Michigan after he was done he. retired he went back home and uh he he. had a gun he started having a gun more I. was watching him on his like his. Instagram story and stuff still upbeat. still awesome still amazing and he put. his gun in his bag in one place reached. in shot himself reached into the bag. because it was like in there to grab. something thumb gets on trigger shoots. himself kills him dead Okay dead and.

it's like I think we all incredibly. bummed that tipped in past like we. [ __ ] loved him got a chance to go up. to his funeral with some of the. teammates and meet his family and his. friends in literally every era of this. guy's existence everybody was telling. the same stories about how he lit up a. room and was this this but I think after. he made it to the NFL he felt as if. people wanted to come get him so he. thought he was became like a marked. person so he felt like he had to have a. gun on him and the gun was being taken. care of for not being taken care of for.

in a respectful fashion just laying in. his bag he ended up dead so whenever you. hear Adam Silver say like who knows what. could have happened with that I don't. think Adam Silver was saying like John. was going to go kill somebody I don't. think he was saying that job was gonna. go do something else you just if you're. flailing a gun around on camera who. knows what's happening off camera and. then also you're kind of making young. people that look up to you think like. hey this is what you're supposed to do. and this is how it's supposed to go all. around Bad scene and so [ __ ] dumb I.

just can't reiterate it enough well in. the whole thing and he like he lost 39. million from the non-all NBA team not. making it now be from what Adam Silver's. talking about and Stephen a kind of. suggested that people in the league want. to be suspended an entire year if it you. know that might be a little much but if. Adam is over suspense him for half a. year like then he's missing out not on. like a escalator of 40 million then he's. actually losing like 25 million dollars. just from games but not even the money. part that when I'm saying taking. everything away from you the worst.

feeling is when you're at the top of the. game when you're playing the best ball. that you're playing like for instance. when I got suspended I was the best. [ __ ] player to me in the league. like not being able to play a whole year. is [ __ ] miserable yeah when you know. you are the best isolated oh my God yeah. I'm saying like when you know you're the. best at that point like I. me personally I thought I was the best. point returning in corner at least 0.607.

going into the ocean yeah you're an. [ __ ] upon return and I had getting. everything taken away like all right you. ain't gonna play at all like well and. also there's another thing like whenever. you're not at the top anymore like who's. still around you you know like all those. people that are with like you learn so. much whenever you lose a lot so maybe. that's what needs to happen you know it. could help for the good of all of us. though I hope jaw ends up just. recognizing who he is what he is and how. quickly it can all change into Pac-Man's. Point like get a security just get a.

secure if you're scared for your life. get it secured you can pay for it and. you can shoot hey you still have a gun. yeah you can go shoot you can do. whatever you want to do just need you. not making people think like oh this is. how you're supposed to live your life. like that you're supposed to do that in. cars driving around like no they're not. so that's uh you know it's a whole thing. it's a give and take and hopefully the. lessons learned well it's like the same. deal you know like the fact that it is. within two months of the previous one. like Adam Silver like he's not acting up. there like that's not [ __ ] like he. genuinely feels duped and like hurt by. the fact like I sat down with this guy.

he knows he's one of the faces of the. NBA and he just he [ __ ] lied straight. to my face was contrite acted like he. was sorry he's not sorry so now yeah. maybe something like that does have to. happen pack I hope you get a chance to. talk to him someday yeah yeah sure he. will I reached out to him I reached out. to him when I was in Memphis. um. Debo did too so we'll see if we get. around to him so he comes from the. um for sure yeah because everybody's. like why is he. like you I don't want to.

you know come from a way different. environment yeah and I don't want to I. don't want to like you know make it seem. like something that is all but it's a. massive part of you you come from Zone. one in Atlanta yeah which you know. there's been a lot of movies and docs. made about. the west side of Atlanta. and what was happening back then I think. we've all heard songs and everything. about what the part that you come from. so like you growing up in a world where. it was very standard like hey. everybody's got a strap the reason why I. got a strap you don't know who's coming.

for you at any moment at any time. because the businesses that we're. running to survive that's just part of. the rules pretty much in life yeah my. dad got killed right in front of me so. my life was a whole lot different. guns Masterpiece of it so for him just. to like jump into it almost seemingly. after he gets successful makes us all. say again like yo stop being so [ __ ]. dumb yeah what do we do what are we. doing you know it's tough AJ it is right. tough I don't want to be Hood hey bro. I'm Square I don't want to be square. you're gonna be tough for him no it's.

got to be tough for him to try to. distance himself from you know his guys. and his people that have been around him. forever though that's what I'm saying. though like packets are not on your side. that I don't think those guys grew up. yeah like what they're portraying they. are right now like I don't understand. are we just joking they might just be. pranks to [ __ ] but it's not funny well. it's not funny strictly because you're. losing 100 million dollars yeah exactly. and everybody's kind of dragging your. name too and you just said like that.

when I was in the projects I grew up in. the projects first thing you get is a. skateboard but do people in the projects. also not appreciate this like why the. [ __ ] are you acting you know some way. when you didn't grow up in the lifestyle. that you were saying stolen violence. it's basically you know me having a. mustache firefighter weekend stolen. firefighter Valley like is this stolen. project Valor I think so I think just. trying to get gain the respect of those. people he's not I don't think he's. trying to appeal to them yeah I think. he's like I'm uh like I think he's.

trying to gain the respect personally I. think that is what he's trying that's. the point that's what he's doing. yeah you wonder about like Kevin Costner. said yeah that guy looks so good in. cowboy hat I'm not doing the show. anymore and I'm not married anymore. one of those things caused the other I. think yeah all in one weekend but I. wonder about his parents like I know his. dad is kind of always out there and like. kind of in the Limelight a little bit. but you have to assume that they're like. hey like the way we raised you is so. like you didn't have to do this kind of.

[ __ ] you know what I mean like we didn't. bust our asses to to like you know have. you grow up in like a nice area in a. nice house in like a safe environment. for you to just when you get money when. you get Super Famous to Resort back to. doing this type of [ __ ] and putting an x. on your back named clance. he's not doing them but being a [ __ ]. what's what's the word Rebellion. Rebellion is what he's doing like for. our we don't know what he is right we. don't know if you're a thug or not. because we he haven't did [ __ ] to say.

that he's a thug we haven't gotten no. fights I haven't heard him getting in. the end well the one incident we heard. about this is okay we heard about that. but all this [ __ ] we see it's just dumb. like to be playing with a gun in a car. and they just gave you [ __ ] 200. million dollars and just the second time. coming bro like you're joking around. like it almost seems like he's living. his game it's almost him like you said. all right [ __ ] y'all y'all ain't gonna. do nothing to me anyway like come on bro. what are you getting out of doing it. yeah it's just we're all seeing you [ __ ].

up and we're all just uh hey let's get. better huh yeah let's get better love. watching you play too come on John. League's better with it the World Sports. is better with you yes so let's just not. be dumb okay it's not too dumb thing. you're obviously not dumb okay. definitely not Joe you're obviously not. dumb get your flip phone. uh let's talk about some more stuff. happening around the NFL Joe burrow who.

has a sweet. yeah kind of bowl cut old school this is. my this one my hair used to be with. because he has the same calyx I believe. where he could split that hair right in. the middle it's got good bounce with the. headband Joe burrow has become a sex. symbol uh basically this off season. jawline impeccable seemingly training. harder and. more efficiently than it I mean this is. banglades put this out they know what. they're doing this little third strap. out of the Bengal social media they hit.

a home run he threw a ball to Jamar. Chase in the video it was on a line a. [ __ ] rocket Dart Joey burrow wants to. win a Super Bowl Joey burrow is the face. of Cincinnati for a long time which is. why we were so confused that Amazon and. the NFL seemingly said we don't want. Cincinnati to be the home of the Black. Friday football games thought that that. would be a great home especially with. how Cincinnati kind of welcomes in those. massive things and make them feel bigger. with what this team is going to be you. would I mean that's a dart bro that's. like a that's a 35-yard [ __ ] Dart.

unless they sped it up. which I don't think they did I mean that. is they're going to be great that guy's. great Joe's great they're going to be. incredible he's in the middle of his. contract negotiations right now though. he said he is in on the conversations. and he also understands that other. people need contracts this is the future. of contract negotiating with players I. think we're in a generation where. there's a lot more entrepreneurs there's. a lot more understanding of business. there's a lot more understanding of the. value of brand because socials and I.

think Joe doesn't mind being informed on. the convos that are going and he might. see some more Team friendly deals from. these big name players so that their. friends and other talented players can. get paid I like what Joey burrow is. doing and I appreciate that this is. probably what it looks like going. forward AJ yeah I mean he first off he. looks he looks pretty jacked like I. don't know did they ask him put on some. muscle it looks like he put on some. muscle this off season obviously looking. good coming out in the cut off too with. the the uh the headband Joe knows what. he's doing he knows he knew it would.

take the Internet by stuff imagine if it. was raining oh man oh yeah the whole. thing but he players have more power now. and that's the thing we're seeing we. know NBA players have had power for a. while now it seems like NFL guys mainly. the quarterbacks if you're a franchise. quarterback you have some power and he. knows like hey I can yes I deserve to. get an absolute monster contract but he. knows the same time I'm gonna leave I'm. gonna structure it in a way that I can. we can sign on my boys and we can. hopefully keep this thing rolling for 15. years I love it I love hearing it I love. reading it him just going all right just.

give me uh 150 million dollars sweet. you're gonna give me that all right cool. that'll be good how we need to structure. it let's get these guys done and then. when I'm done also percentage of the. team so let's just yes it's a very easy. thing you're dialed in obviously Duke. wants to get this deal done quicker you. think how do you how what do you think. you're there yeah I think we want to get. the deal done I don't think it's got to. be quick but I think it get done before. the season start or by the end of the. season I know they want to keep um T. Higgins and all the other boys together.

but man Joe's a dog you know you could. tell he he's been working out really. hard this off season this is the first. off season I think that he had a full. offseason last year he was going through. some stuff injuries and then he had to. have the surgery. yeah yeah so this is his first full. off-season so he looked good though man. I think Mr Brown is going to give him a. flat check he know he wanted to keep it. they know they want to keep everybody. together. um but it'll be Joe say so at the end of. the day and Mr Brown gonna get whatever. Joe wants so I think it's a team effort.

over there nothing that'll work for you. I mean I think he's I think he's still. going to get more than Lamar and more. than Jalen because it's all about. structure now I think everyone's figured. it out that yeah I mean you give a. player as much as they [ __ ] want as. long as no. I think so really I think so tip of the. spirit bro yeah pretty crazy. and teens are listening like with for. Lamar obviously the contract got done. but like they went to go get obj and now. burrow they're going to get that. contract done and they're going to be.

able to sign T Higgins and Jamar Chase. back to back and Teddy cash and get in. the line yeah Orlando Brown get a line. for him like it's cool that now teams. are like hey we don't have to just treat. these guys like football players funny. enough they know the football players. that should be on the field with them at. the same time and now if we just kind of. they're smart if we can do that they're. funny and Charming yeah and the fact. that that is happening now I think it's. just great for the league in general. good for since you think about that AFC. North now let's assume Kenny Pickett's. gonna become.

assume Kenny Pickett's gonna become a. guy last year he was operating on an. offense that had no hot reads so that's. it's gonna be tough to judge him on that. NFL football because he was playing. actual High School football last year. that was by plan by Design we're going. to ease him into this and then we're. gonna add more and more let's assume. Kenny Pickett becomes a guy yeah you got. Lamar Joe burrow DeSean Watson which. we'll see this is good got better at the. end of last year yeah he did he played. it don't even mention the Browns no one. even talks about the Browns right now I.

haven't talked about him at all good. wrong and they also it could be pretty. good yeah yeah they could be and then. Joey Burr I mean that is a that is a. stacked division with quarterbacks in a. you know a division that runs the ball a. lot because the way weather is as well. the AFC North is the kitchen it is hot. in the kitchen ready properly stocked. properly stocked in that division the. lowest number of over under there is. eight and a half and that's Steelers I. think I don't know if it's the only. division where the uh the lowest team is. is basically a winning record I could be. wrong uh New England yeah the AFC North.

is is properly stacked and everything. out of Pittsburgh is says that Kenny. works too [ __ ] hard not to be good uh. which is very very encouraging how do. you feel about wearing those gloves. how do you feel about Kenny picker. wearing football gloves that that look. is kind of besides. [Music]. coming from a mile are we allowed to. fart on mics when we go to ESPN.

that's crazy yeah put his microphone in. his [ __ ] I don't mind the gloves me. neither I wish he would wear like one. sleeve though down that would be sick. you know what I mean like it was a. [ __ ] bionic arm yeah yeah Warner wore. two gloves he's a Hall of Famer he was. yeah I agree I'm with it if he can spin. the [ __ ] ball spin the ball. Bridgewater tiny two gloves is almost an. MVP guy and then he had that devastating. injury seven did it for a while seven. years.

man with those tacky gloves like you. feel like you can throw the ball mile I. feel like yeah especially with How fat a. [ __ ] NFL football is yeah I don't. think people notice that or know that no. the actual Duke it's a big wolf it's big. balls it's huge we throw a lot of girth. a lot of girth more the better you know. for kicking a ball always it's like. there's oh yeah always yeah soup can but. the whole uh you want it rounder than. longer yeah well I don't know yeah for. me. yeah whatever the case is but the whole.

um I don't think people realize how. large those footballs are yeah yeah so. if if a glove can give you a little bit. more you're gonna take that yeah you. should take this especially if you kind. of had I mean like that they talked. about how his hands were like a little. bit smaller than normal guys like Sophie. is in the elements thinking like I don't. know but if I put this [ __ ] nice. glove on I don't got to worry about it. what was allegedly said to him with that. one pro day hey let me see your [ __ ]. hands boy hold this ball hold this ball. let me see what it is let's see what it.

looks like fingers wrapped around that. thing looks like so this is a k ball. here so it's obviously a little bit fat. that's what he was saying yeah hold that. ball what coach do we know what coach. Carolina Panthers this is all a legend a. legend a legend but we uh you know we. were allegedly it was reported yeah that. Carolina Panthers Ben McAdoo said uh. put that ball on your [ __ ] hands it's. GM wasn't it. was all of them it was all those they. were all together.

I mean I could I I spin this thing okay. oh yeah I do one for two in my NFL. career highest passer rating in. Thanksgiving football history so biggest. turkey Bowl pretty good yeah. and you had to throw a cable let's go. okay boom one of these beat up slick. balls I had to throw and you know Eric. swap ran a great route and we drew that. play up literally on a napkin day of so. backyard football Turkey Bowl highest. passer rating I know a thing or two. about it if I was quarterback I'm. putting a glove on immediately for this.

thing trying to spin it but like you you. think about some of these quarterbacks. they're also [ __ ] like huge so big. the Eli is a [ __ ] giant yeah he's. always standing next to Peyton also. [ __ ] giant right but Eli is huge and. then you like shake their hands it's. like oh that's why a football looks the. way it does in their hand Terry Bradshaw. used to go like yeah one up here yeah. and then like one up here it's like that. [ __ ] those mitts got to be so large. for that so if you don't have it why not.

put the glove on yeah. well in the tub like the tough thing. with Kenny in Pittsburgh it's kind of. the same as Mac in New England there are. three divisions where you can make the. argument that all four quarterbacks are. unbelievable AFC South AFC North uh you. can actually scratch the South you can. go a just in the AFC not even cool in. the NFC right the AFC West the AFC North. and the AFC East yeah I have there's 12. teams there and you can make the. argument for all 12 of those except. maybe New England that they would make.

the playoffs yeah and the only things. that uh other team in the AFC East that. you would potentially raise the question. about and two is going to be healthy. Jujitsu exactly and even when people. wasn't healthy Skylar Thompson almost. beat them Buffalo they got Mike White. now okay yeah look at McAdoo hair loose. uh Evolution when he was. if we uh Kenny's hands look big in that. picture yeah you're damn right yep I. mean who knows if that's how he throws. the ball I want to say recently I heard.

him do an interview and he slept with. like a a hand stretching thing on. everything. that for a second boom I seen that guy. who stretched his shins oh yeah yes the. shin surgery that was awful so I didn't. watch the video they said he grew six. inches that far yep five eight to six. three. yep. see those [ __ ] hands boy. this guy straight down here is he. looking at his heart what's in your.

heart I think he might be looking at his. dong he's like yeah he got him I think. he might fit better or hold on they all. Fitters are saying okay yeah this is cut. off they all have their penises yeah. they're pretty busy all right all right. boy put your dog in your hands. oh that'd be awkward yeah McAdoo's like. hey I don't really know what I'm doing. here but yeah are we really is this yeah. what are you doing we did this at Baylor. too social media person couldn't wait to. get this news out wiping it right here.

you should see what McAdoo just did he. just said let me see your [ __ ] hands. boy. pulled this ball. spokesman Pete Davidson yeah is that.

what you're referring to here the large. I'm not but I mean I know can you throw. a football in the snow we assume yeah. okay we assume Pete Davidson can grip a. football in Lambeau okay is that what. you're trying to get asking a real. question asking a real question like. quarterback as far as hand size do we. know who had the biggest Mario O'Donnell. have giant hands the largest hand. measurement in the combine history is. 11.75 and that's by DeForest Buckner. hell yeah he's on the Colts by the way. he's got a dong on I don't know when. this is from but apparently the. quarterback with the biggest hands what.

do you mean. okay so it's not a quarter then 11. through five is not a quarter uh yeah it. is it a good thing or a bad thing to. have big hands as a quarterback uh good. thing actually Mike Lombardi talked. about this when you're playing in. elements so like the rain yeah he. references specific uh game and fin fam. do not get mad at me but when it was. raining in Tennessee two actually.

multiple times because he has smaller. hands had trouble holding onto the ball. and that's where hand size comes in well. it did happen in all the elements all. these guys up here [ __ ] though yeah. exactly. hey that's super MVP that's got a statue. ten six three there's the standard I. doubt it Super Bowl MVP with a statue I. don't know how much better it can get. back geez Louise drunken Miller didn't. do it for you pal he had a hell of a. hell of a career he was a beast in Sam. Fran's there next dog.

two banana he said some stuff about our. show a couple years back oh yeah I. forgot about that Zola yeah you remember. that. yeah the Sanchez Sanchez yeah yeah it. was Groot he got drafted there he is. Ryan Lee he's a [ __ ] house yeah he is. Ryan Leaf is an absolute house so huge. if Kenny Pickett you know hand size he's. nowhere near all these absolutely NFL. rest in peace dog a Brett Hundley came.

in. that works in Lambo in the history of. the Columbine that's good news yeah I. assume that was a part of their. assessment we're gonna need massive. hands to handle the elements here Lambo. it's going to be real cold a lot of. people talk about you know Aaron the. reason why he's better at the cold and. in the winter is because his mitts are. so [ __ ] large it does not matter I'm. excited to see Jordan go to work yeah I. am I've gotten to the point where I'm.

like pumped to watch very excited I want. them to be hard knocks okay they can't. oh yeah because the yeah I can play. probably gonna be the Jets yeah it's. gonna be the Jets right you know what. everybody says I can't remember the. other three were but I know Jets were on. the list yeah jets are on there I. believe the commanders Bears. I'm a fireman ad is he Carmen that. [ __ ] sellout oh he's back hey. dumbass decided to congratulate the. Hurricanes I'm beating the Devils. he was he was taking advantage anyone.

reading that script put a new ah. something's getting pulled over but. [ __ ] dumbass firemen that doesn't. know. thank him for his service if he stayed. with the Jets the entire time I would. honor fireman Ed but guess what he. decided to hang up his [ __ ] dumbass. helmet. saving the world oh yeah so he doesn't. use it to find fires boys he uses it to. be oh look at me I used to be a fireman. that's Stolen Valor actually no he was a.

fireman. fire remember now he's dressing it up. and all the stupid Jets colors no it. doesn't even look like oh this is him. being a patriotism. what'd you say AJ when did he leave when. did fireman Ed bail on the team after. butt fumble he went he went from butt. fumble to nothing and now Roger's coming. to town and all of a sudden he's the guy. huh oh. [Music].

on November 22nd 2012. let me tell you a. little story there we go I don't like. this tell tell us Thanksgiving tonight. Jets blow out 49-19 lost to the New. England Patriots but fumble was on the. worst place on ESPN first left the game. at Halftime and deleted his Twitter. account he retired as a self-proclaimed. mascot of the New York Jets oh what's up.

you [ __ ] Mark. stating he will 10 games but not in. character what about Jordan wearing 45. pal yeah the guy hung up the hat for a. bit and said you know what I missed this. yeah there's nobody that does what if. firemen had had you know 12-inch hands. and had a [ __ ] 10 foot dong and he. was the quarterback for the Jets and he. won three championships and then decided. to become fireman Ed hey I won't say. anything this guy's got three bulls and. that's what Jordan did and guessing when.

Jordan did come back hi he also won. three more championships fireman Ed is a. [ __ ] sellout he isn't a real fan. yeah no this guy ran towards danger. that's right in for that up until 2012. you said when he was just when he was. just firemen had a lot of respect for. him you had eight on the back end of it. I'm done with it it's different that's. Stolen Valor and even when he wasn't he. an actual fighter yeah he was a real.

fireman but that's what I'm saying I had. respect for firemen Ed up until the. point where he retired honestly I had. more respect for firemen head because he. was still fireman Ed wow they sucked and. I think that is the hardest thing to do. I was gonna say that Connor I'm with you. can't [ __ ] bail on your team no. matter how fast he became a Steelers fan. that's right. always alive. what are we talking about Foxy what are. your friends with foxy you think Foxy's. right you know your fireman advertisers.

at halftime. [ __ ] she's not in the front row at Lions. games leading the lions roaring we need. Eminem yeah he's got suggestions hey. show me on Monday Night Football get in. the crowd going oh. then why do you have a Twitter account. promote himself well I'm sorry welcome. to 2023. I agree Connor I agree with you. if you're a green face of a fan base. don't be a [ __ ] quitter and that's.

the only thing that you have to do you. have to be there well it sucks so that. when you do it was no he's there no he. stopped he stopped you don't understand. he had to go fight fast he had Chad. Pennington. how about that and that's the one person. you should ask well Kevin James yeah. go get me Sean pink and I want Sean. Payton to answer this question thank you. Kevin James King of Queens he's the. number one Jets fan how are you Gary. hitch hitch he was awesome so good he.

was awesome I mean about him starting. the race at what was it Daytona yeah. yeah yeah he's awesome unbelievable what. about Zach and Larry makeup no that's. what did he say about that what'd he say. was that that's uh. Larry that's San Luis yeah. obviously sandman's in it you know. that's a great Banger Kevin James said. listen he should yeah and fireman Ed was. standing home thinking about fighting. more fires and all of a sudden Kevin. James gives a public announcement that.

they need you back he was called back in. to the stadium oh it wasn't him saying. Kevin James said okay get his ass back. in MetLife Stadium oh okay so but based. on this. um Kevin Garnett was on the Brooklyn. Nets and they had the sidebar so this is. probably 2014 and fireman Ed said I'm. sorry Kevin I can't do it anymore I just. can't and he didn't come back until oh. until they got who. Aaron Rodgers no he's been back in the. game last couple years I haven't seen.

his I haven't seen his dumbass. one traveler went out there yeah yeah he. wasn't there yes he was no he was yeah. he was there well if he was he wasn't. cheering loud because that was the. quietest that place has been since. probably until Trevor got in when Trevor. got on the field he rose he did we are. back took his cap off. nope the whole thing nope you guys you. guys are just yeah I I you couldn't be. more wrong we need more fireman ads not. less of them that's right second break.

on the other side we got the fireman at. a baseball yeah well and if you want to. be a fireman. stick with it don't be a sellout and. just come back when times are good. we've never been good times are very. good they went back to back AFC Title. Games with Sanchez two of those in a row. you had Rex Ryan yeah Chad freaking. Pennington he was there for that yes. great time and then they had a tough run. and not to mention the Ryan Fitz magic. Brandon Marshall Eric Decker era was on. fireman Ed was trying to swing that's.

when people say if this happens I'm. moving out of the country and. everybody's like hey sweet. I'm not doing anymore I'm not letting. this organization think the way they're. operating is how the fans will he was. trying to make the team better yeah and. I can hold me hostage no way I've saved. many hostages they don't need to hold me. hostage hey no you got some real Gall on. you yeah calling fireman at a sellout. that is a fun fact.

this is good at bat. oh [ __ ]. let's go. that came down a lot faster than I. thought though let's be honest. excuse me you could all. get all my dick we would be better off. I'll tell you what would have been nice. to take a nap earlier get back first you. have to tell me when that's happening. you're making me look bad hey Steven. [ __ ] you hey [ __ ] you Steven hey nice.

[ __ ]. one four nine does that feel good. Stephen. oh wow wow he tosses up the ball wow. back to being a player now making plays. touchdowns what Innings. but it was finally my time to get in. that box number one. the right fielder the former punter from. West Virginia a former Indianapolis Colt. and a current bar stool sports. Personality Pat McAfee the anticipation.

is real. [Music]. I'm in the hole. [Music]. and that will bring up Pat McAfee once. again. [Applause]. his first pitch from Reynaldo Lopez. swinging a Miss by McAfee. hey. what was that in the catcher goes I had.

to give you one ripped off speed what. was that then I look at the pitcher and. he's smiling he's like laughing like. he's toying with me like I'm a child. it all comes down to this. my last. at-bat hey I'm gonna get on you bring me. home. [Music]. oh my God oh my God Jesus you have no.

prayer. [Applause]. oh boy. [Music]. oh this is the [ __ ] duck man.

let's go. how'd you choose College coaching I was. coaching on the back side of the desert. for a long time I started off with youth. football we had one of the biggest. programs in the country with ages five. all the way through 14 and several teams. of each age group name was true trust in. God respect myself and others understand. I have unlimited possibilities try my. best never give up and honor the truth. in his Creed at all times oh that's a. good one and we took the whole state of. Texas and we went and played all around.

the country that's what I was doing for. a decade then I got into high school. football then after high school I'm just. sitting there all the kids about to go. you know Shiloh Bucky had graduated from. SMU shallow who's at South Carolina and. shador is getting ready to go play for. Coach tagger you know I started getting. the call so I'm sorry you know let me. really consider that so I interviewed on. a couple interviews and knocked him out. of the park but it wasn't a time and I. accepted the Jackson State Challenge. with tremendous challenge the church. tremendous challenge because I had never. been to Jackson I'm like HBCU I don't. really know a lot about let me do my. homework and I accepted the challenge. then shador say you know what that I'm.

riding with you and shallow like Daddy. I'm riding with you so now I got both my. sons there and mother son doing all. those social media and it just became a. wonderful thing and being able to grab. those guys you know whatever says you're. riding that stuff they come from people. the guys around you you're not going to. be comforted so I learned to put some. pretty good guys around me just like. when I returned if I didn't have 10 dogs. in front of me blocking their butts off. I wasn't going to be proud so I've. learned to always keep some dogs around. me to make sure I could go do what I'm. blessed to do and that's the formula of. culture man just having some good.

coaches around you that and we're not. friends of the kids you know everybody. talks about these kids are different The. Kids Ain't no different their coaches. don't change kids ain't no different. they're the same old kid coaches have. changed quit pacifying these kids and. they want discipline man they want. structure they want to be told what to. do and where to go and how to do it. Colorado is the biggest job biggest. offer why no no no Colorado was the best. job in the perfect job for me because of. Rick George because of the A.D because. of his spirit and and what he spoke to. me he touched me man I was offered more.

money of course but money don't move me. connectivity and the spirit and being in. the right places doing the right thing. that's what moves me and motivate me if. money was it shoot. I'd have lost this a long time you don't. come to work because of the money you're. coming to work because you love doing. what you're doing and the money seems to. follow you that's been my formula I've. said in all three seats I've been the. kid on the couch I've been the parent. right next to the kid on the couch now. I'm on the other side and the coach that. you're talking to so it's not nothing. that I don't understand about this. process you wanted crime you that's what.

you're gonna get I don't know how to. dress it up and flip it no other way I. gotta be me I got to be me. unapologetically I'm going to be we have. issues with that with some companies. because I assume you've run into that. case as well yeah yeah I'm right back. out of the door they should have Google. me and did your homework and ask a few. questions because I'm going to be me.

[Music]. hey why let's. go this show [ __ ] stinks and the fact. that you listen we are very very. thankful for AJ never cease to amaze me. with your toxicity pal you got a couple. of these God.

what the [ __ ] are you doing. hello beautiful people welcome back to. our humble about the Thunderdome on this. winter Wednesday May 17 2023 our three. of the program starts all right now. AJ you hit the beat a couple different. times so they get Sports in there that's.

AJ Hawk the toxic tables here at Boston. Connor and that Ty Schmidt one half of. the hammer Cowboys tone Diggs is here. and 14-year NFL icon Pac-Man Jones live. joins us live. joining us now is the fireman out of. baseball honestly the man who is. oh never mind we're having a problem. with the thing I don't know if that's. all the whole show or just with the. person we're about to intro. didn't anybody have any answer I will. say switcher's Frozen right now this.

never happened but we're resetting it. real quick switcher is uh literally. can't even like switch cameras okay just. video got it but we're still on yes okay. good all right there and we're all good. now if we reset it we're probably won't. be so we can't add anybody to the camera. except for us too here's another thing. by the way with a network you know. getting an opportunity to have like. people that are in the production world. uh that understand all these gimmicks. and gadgets yeah in them actually being. on payroll to help that is a good thing. that would help yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

I think that'll help AJ you know so. that's good like the lighting the. lighting issues we had for like five. months in here God forget about it yeah. forget about it forget about it because. they don't they're not going to want bad. lit [ __ ] on their stuff so it's like. show we did where it sounded great in. our ears and then you get on Twitter and. it was crackling is back in your pants. you guys off camera right now obviously. could you please pull up your pants the. town is lying. I get it what's that AJ I get it you.

can't cut to him so yes tone ladies and. gentlemen joining us now great work in. the back hey. joining us now is the fireman at a. baseball the face of the next generation. of baseball and a man who has covered. baseball so closely for the last 10. years he knows everything about it. that's right makes predictions he makes. calls he makes opinions he makes inside. information public. ladies and gentlemen jet pass. how are you Jack.

I I need to say something actually first. off welcome like this is awesome just so. great I I can't tell you how excited I. am but amid all of the the love for Pat. that's going on and going to the. upfronts and all that I want to make. sure that the boys are feeling good. about this too because they are such an. integral part of this whole beautiful. thing you guys have put together and the. success and everything that boys uh.

congratulations to YouTube because. without you guys Pat in this entire show. uh it's still really good but not as. good as it actually is you're a hero jet. thank you. [Applause]. and you're 100 right that's a massive. part of the conversation too there was. one um platform Network that the way.

they were talking as if like we'll be. able to put this person in this spot for. your show and this person will be able. to do this I was like well just to reset. the whole conversation here we'll like. let you know we got a valedictorian. honestly yeah okay we got a uh Paisan. with the gambling brain that nobody else. has on a stage boys aren't moving you're. 100 right with that jet and you are a. hero honestly yeah absolute hero that's. good play yeah well no here's here's the. thing though like the beauty of this. show.

is that everyone plays a role right this. is this is a team like this is teamwork. and AJ can be the delightful scumbag and. Boston well here we go you know Boston. Connor can be like the the idiot from. Boston and Ty can be this sad Yankee fan. and tone can be the the degenerate. Gambler and whoa I mean I could keep. going but I mean the the good Gambler. right yeah.

yeah. you know because I do believe that whole. part of the world is a real active. conversation right now as well we are. having our own immigration issues with. an absolute icon a man that we miss and. a man that gets dunked On by Jen every. time he comes on because Gumpy is. massive baseball fan and you are massive. piece of baseball let's talk about it. Aaron judge was cheating they were. hitting garbage cans he had a he had an.

electro Skeleton on if he had that on. why was he looking to his right while. he's in the batter's box this seems to. be the big story right now what is it I. didn't get to keep up with it as closely. and what did we see from this whole. thing tell him that so I I think what. we've figured out has happened here is. that the Yankees were. stealing signs but they were doing so. legally now this is something that has. been done in baseball Pat for a hundred. plus years if a pitcher is giving away.

and when I say Signs by the way I don't. mean like looking in on the catcher or. relaying something electronically I mean. sometimes pitchers will give a sign as. to what they're about to throw and Jay. Jackson the Toronto Blue Jays pitcher. might have been tipping his pitches two. different ways he holds the ball behind. his back before he comes set and had. different grips on the pitch behind his. back whether it's a fastball or a slider. and he also talked about to Ken. Rosenthal how he was coming set at going.

different speeds up and down with his. hands depending on whether it was a. fastball or a slider now if you can. deduce that on the field as the Yankees. seemingly did and you can relay it to. the batter with you know a hand signal. maybe your left foot is forward or your. right foot is forward for a slider left. foot forward for a fastball if you can. do it that way that is perfectly legal. it's not cheating it's just gaming the. game and if the Yankees are doing the.

game better than everyone else should. give them credit for it not grief well. and if you can stare directly to your. right while you're in a batter's box. that has a shot clock on it and find a. ball that's traveling either 87 or 100. miles an hour that's a pretty good. talent sounds like it's not the Yankees. fault at all but people are saying you. guys are a bunch of scumbag cheaters. yeah well we get it it's because it's. the Yankees and uh let's be honest yet. you know as well as I do the Blue Jays. are a bunch of whiny [ __ ] they have. been for the last couple years now. because they had they have this kind of.

you know self-aggrandized rivalry with. the Yankees even though they're not. going to make the playoffs they think. they should but you know they got their. manager looking into the Yankees Dugout. last night and saying shut up fat boy to. some more fat guys that's awesome can't. have that you guys wouldn't do that no. never would never do that that's not. something you would or admittedly. coming out the day after your starting.

pitcher got kicked out of the game for. cheating well not exactly like the right. so what happened. correct me if I'm wrong here jet but I. believe the guy who was upping home uh. behind the plate the crew chief he had. actually had to mingle Hermon the guy. who got kicked out like a couple weeks. ago and they had a similar situation. against the Twins and he basically told. him like hey you got to wash that [ __ ]. off your hands he did and then he almost. got ejected but they said like and now. it's sufficient he's washed it off. enough but he threw like a two-hitter. had like his best outing of the year he.

had the same guy last night when he got. ejected and he basically said like Hey. listen pal we we've had this song and. dance you can't keep doing this [ __ ] he. got ejected in the third Inn so that. still happening jet they're still. checking hands and belt buckles and hats. and everything like that I don't see it. as much yeah I mean it's not just. yeah it's no it's the second time it's. happened this year and Max Scherzer who. everyone here knows was the first one. and it's an automatic 10 game suspension. you get run from the game that you're in. and unless there's some sort of. incredibly compelling evidence uh you're.

probably not winning on appeals what are. they looking for for anything or a. certain amount of thing because I heard. rosin and sweat that becomes a little. bit of a gripper do they have like a. drop test that they put on if it turns. yellow or green it's an illegal how how. what is it what are we testing for and. what is the threshold for when you're. kicked out and you're cheating in your. scumbag and a selfie. like you so AJ oh no doubt uh so I'm.

gonna write this is gonna sound like. it's not true this is 100 True in the. off season Major League Baseball gets. all of the umpires together and they. will go with the umpires through like a. series of people's hands that have. different items on them spider attack. which is like the super sticky stuff uh. you know rosin and sweat uh sunscreen. and rosin they have all sorts of. different things and they go through and. the umpires touch these people's hands.

and they say is this legal or is this. not legal so it's discretionary when it. comes to the umpires there's no question. about that there's nothing purely. objective about the way that they go. about it but you heard the Umpire after. the game last night saying those are the. stickiest hands that I felt and uh you. know I think is it the best way to do it. but I I don't know that there is a good. way to do it honestly yeah so what if. God's got poop in her fingernails yeah.

possible damn what you know like do they. know all of the different concoctions. that could add a little bit of grip. probably not it's just a learning is. this going to be part of the game. forever now. yeah it's been a part of the game for a. long time don't be an [ __ ] they. literally just started doing the full. Pat me Don situation last year oh oh oh. you meant the the checking I thought you. meant the actual use of substance no no. yeah I'm talking about the checking of. it is this now how this goes now because. to your point sneaking [ __ ] in places is.

a part of the game right wasn't like a. part of it that was like a part of the. game now it's like no I can't do it is. this just what baseball is going forward. we assume. yeah no this is the this is exactly what. it's going to be like and generally it's. pretty unobtrusive like it's at the end. of innings usually and TV cameras have. cut away and they've gone to commercial. I mean Pat the sort of stuff that I've. heard that guys will do like there are. pictures out there who have like their. special secret sauce like they'll take. it and put in a Coke can and put some. fire underneath it and melt it and like.

yeah. what the hell that's sweet hey throw the. ball well though got a good grip on. baseball it's crazy to think about go. ahead AJ jet what makes these umps check. to check their hands or check their. belts does it have to be a request from. the other team like the other manager. has to say hey check his hands or could. it be we just feel like the ball's. moving a little weird see those hands. boys no it's it's pretty random actually. like they they will go especially with. starting pitcher you know they sometimes.

they'll go in the first and third. Innings sometimes they'll go second and. fourth sometimes they'll do all the. Innings if it's a guy who's been caught. in the past for example and with relief. pitchers when they're coming in uh they. will often get it as well so there's. really no Rhyme or Reason to it Domingo. Herman though the the picture in. question from yesterday had like goop on. the back of his pants and on the front. of his pants like if you're gonna cheat. you gotta be a little less obvious about. it I think that's the lesson to be.

learned here and here's the thing this. isn't something AJ that's like going. away anytime soon. um if you look the the easiest way to. tell whether players are cheating or not. is from their spin rate like they have. cameras in every Stadium right now where. you can track not just how fast the ball. goes but how it spins how fast it spins. the axis it's spinning and when the spin. rate on fastballs especially goes up. that means guys are getting better grip. on the ball and being able to yank down.

on it more and get that sort of elite. Spin and right after the initial. Crackdown the spin rate on fastball is. plummeted but slowly it's been climbing. back up okay let's talk so people aren't. cheating again good I like to hear that. huh yeah I like that the gamesmanship. still happening we don't need big ump. crackers. let's keep it going uh to talk about the. game and the spin rate and everything. like that we'd assume when the spin rate. went down it was more hitting now we got. this pitch clock what is baseball is. that has that changed the game has it.

revolutionized do you think there's more. interest are the games more exciting. more low scoring and what has been the. actual outcome here through how many. games are we in right now into the. season. we're a quarter into the season right. now and the outcome I think has been. twofold number one uh games are a lot. faster like that's really the legacy of. the pitch clock that games are moving. along 25 to 30 minutes faster on average. than they were last year and for anyone.

who sat around and said you know. baseball's just too big of an investment. it's three hours plus every night that's. not the case anymore and you you know. you can argue whether that's a good. thing or a bad thing everyone almost. everyone in the game thinks that the. speed of the game now is a good thing. that you don't need to play these three. four hour games when you can get. something done in two and a half. sometimes even shorter than that uh. offense is actually up and I think some. of that is a consequence of you know.

pitchers not having the time to go out. and execute these incredible pitches. that they do every time out like it's. really hard to go out if you're starting. pitcher and throw 100 pictures of. Maximum effort and guys just aren't able. to do that to the degree that they were. beforehand there's also been an increase. in injuries this year among pitchers you. know some people think it's because of. the pitch clock some people think it's. for any number of other reasons either. way a lot of the best guys aren't out. there anymore right now and because of. that I think offense has definitely.

benefited from it and I the the thing. that bugs me Pat is. the issues that I've had with baseball. have been regarding not just Pace. because the pace has picked up it's. cramming more of the same stuff though. into a shorter period of time right like. you have a pretty similar average when a. ball gets put into play even though the. the shifts are more or less gone now. what hasn't been done is the strikeout.

rate hasn't gone anywhere and the walk. rate really hasn't changed a whole lot. either and so if you want baseball to be. more exciting games are more exciting. when balls are in play and when action. is happening and the pitch clock has not. cut down on strikeouts at all I'm. figuring out how to do that is the real. question for MLB I thought you were I. thought you were about to Pivot to the. the steroid Arrow the juice when the. ball was looking this big for everybody. they were holding those actual telephone. bills a lot of these oh the heaviest bat.

in history okay swinging it faster than. ever and eyes on the baseball as if it. was of volleyball coming in every single. time that was when baseball was the. conversation point and I assume. baseball's trying to get back to that is. that what you think they're trying to do. without having guys have to eat every. single steroid that is available because. obviously that's terrible long term for. Everybody's Health. yeah I I think baseball sort of. acknowledges and understands the place. of the NFL right now in the sporting.

landscape right like the NFL is this. impossible to defeat Behemoth and in the. 30 years since you know the heart of the. steroid era like it's the way the NFL. has taken over it's hard to argue. against that I think what baseball is. looking for more than anything is trying. to make sure that this younger. generation loves it the same way that. the older generation that's alive right. now does baseball's trying to to make.

itself such that if there's a 15 to 25. year old out there. and you say the word baseball to him or. her the response before this year maybe. still after this year would be and it's. kind of slow it's kind of boring and I. don't think baseball I don't think. baseball is boring because I love the. nuances and intricacies of the game but. I can understand how other people might. think that cutting down the game time is. a really good first step but putting. more action into the game is going to be.

the ultimate one and that's the hardest. one to do because there's no elegant. solution like the clock jet the NFL did. it too to defense they made it. impossible you can't do this can't hit. here can't do that because they wanted. more action so like the MLB seemingly. going to do the same thing if they want. more hits they're going to figure out. how to get more hits and it'll be a. whole the pitchers are gonna be pissed. just like defense was yeah James. Harrison lost out on like millions of. dollars as the NFL was changing the way. the game was played James Harrison was. the lead in two commercial breaks just.

like one year before he was getting six. figure fines for the same Executives and. like look what look what James Harrison. just did to somebody and it was him. launching at 280 pounds his helmet. directly to somebody's jaw and just like. full speed Collision slow motion the. body sideways look at this we'll be what. more of that in like five minutes on the. other side of this break or whatever. then fast forward a year later James. Harrison is fined another hundred and.

fifty thousand dollars for a reckless. taco and you you think James Harrison. and everybody else was happy about that. no way but the NFL was able to survive. that I think they're gonna have to. survive the pitchers who are the stars. of baseball not being happy if they. change anything that makes it a more. hitting friendly game I think personally. but I don't know [ __ ] about baseball I'm. one of those types of people. I don't know a lot of what you said. seems to make sense there but you know. how let me ask you this how did the NFL.

bigger bats. so AJ I want you know how did the NFL. pull that off without having a complete. Revolt from the defensive side of the. ball you do as part of it couldn't. really you couldn't really do anything. jet not only did they take your money. but they give you 15 yard penalties too. like I remember losing a game when it. got they call it garbage penalty on a. long third down where we we hit the. quarterback and gives them another. chance gives him a fresh set of down so. you couldn't really do anything about it. honestly especially because it would not. only would it take your fine but it. would hurt your team you could lose a. game for it.

there Pat there are there are people. inside of baseball who think that the. solution to this is cutting down on the. number of available pitchers on a team's. roster so right now there are 26 players. on every roster most teams have 13. hitters and 13 pitchers and what that. allows you to do if you want to go with. a six-man rotation you can do that if. you want to just go with a deeper. Bullpen you can do that because if your. starter goes only five innings then hey. you know whatever but if they want to.

encourage starting pitchers to go longer. into games the way that you can achieve. that is by incentivizing them to not go. out and throw balls to the wall on every. pitch not go maximum effort not go. maximum velocity and how do you do that. well if you limit pitching staffs to 11. pitchers all of a sudden a pitcher says. you know what as much as I want to go. out and throw 99 maybe I should just. live at 95 and go an inning or two. deeper because that's what's right for.

my teams. balls will be gone right 95 and 99. vastly different to the eye yeah oh yeah. taking players off the roster though. you're taking some opportunities away at. the same time Babe Ruth used a 54-ounce. bat back in the day I mean that's a. telephone pole bring it back that guy. was pointing to he say you know hey get. the [ __ ] out of here he's saying to. somebody else and then he hit a home run. so like did he just called yeah I don't. know he was actually talking to somebody. he didn't like but I think bigger balls. bigger bats more home runs sure.

easy I mean now if we get guys not. throwing their best pitches that's. another way get it what's that ball put. some put some cork in that bowl or. something too yeah let's get the. thousand foot home aluminum bats let's. get the Sammy Sosa warm-up balls out. there. those guys would be hitting buildings on. the other side yeah someone would get. killed pitchers would die yeah if a. pitcher got hit by put the net in front. of them. you know what what are we even talking. about just like everything else let's. remove the pitching from the game t-ball.

get a robot oh yeah yeah I mean then we. just got BP machine yeah so we got a. home run derby every single night yeah. now we're two and just like IndyCar and. NASCAR you can soup up your robot uh-huh. right if you can gain yeah a little bit. more that's on your engineering team yep. throwing 150 out there yep so do you. want that pictures huh you want to be. replaced completely good question or do. you want to maybe throw 85 right over. the middle of the plate once every two. innings what if that was the thing what.

if they had to declare one pitch there's. gonna be a hanging curve one per yes. have to do it here we go when you. strategize it in I love I love that I. come on here and over the course of 20. minutes you've it completely eradicated. the entire sport that I covered no no. face of the Earth. baseball is great we love it look at. this look at that I'm wearing the. [ __ ] merch. but you also put chat GPT on the [ __ ]. Mound.

anyways Ty's a question for you sorry. about it back to baseball yeah jet uh. every time you come on here a lot of. times we do talk about the buckos and. how they'll need to sell the team but. they've actually had a uh a tasty little. season so far this year what the [ __ ]. going on in Oakland though like last for. the last several weeks they've been. having under 2 000 people show up at. those games like ohtani was there the. other night you can get tickets behind. home plate for 20 bucks and still no.

one's showing up I think they have like. a minor league or like a semi-pro. women's soccer team that they just. started and they have two times as many. people showing up to those games as they. do A's games I know they are moving to. Vegas but is there any way that like. this is gonna get expedited or moved. forward and they're gonna get out of the. Coliseum and maybe go play In Like A. Minor League Stadium because it's just. it's a [ __ ] joke. yeah it honestly going to a minor league. Stadium tie wouldn't help there there. are two things that are crashing.

together here and are really ugly number. one the Oakland days are a horrendous. baseball team and they are losers yeah. they're they're a historically bad team. so it's not like they're giving any of. the fans something compelling to go out. and see and they play in a terrible. stadium that you know has live animals. in the walls and sewage leaks and all. sorts of other places are playing in the. commander Stadium pretty much no oh I. look build Coliseum the commander.

stadium looks like the Thunderdome I. think so compared to Oakland they're. playing in the Coliseum the the Raiders. used to play in yes yeah same one that. place was a [ __ ]. worse they had a DJ sick DJ was awesome. environment was awesome yeah like. blowing in the crowd warm up that's cool. clouds yeah everything is cool about it. except for like there's no feel there's. no doors on this [ __ ] or either in the. locker room it was like two bathrooms I. think no no x-ray machines weird guys.

getting dressed in the hallway too yeah. not a big enough space I mean it was bad. that's where they're still playing yeah. it's way too big for baseball too isn't. it yet it was never a great bracelet oh. yeah I mean it's it's you know it's like. the it's like the vet in Philadelphia. it's the old like Dual Purpose stadiums. and I'm sorry but football stadiums and. baseball stadiums are completely. different here's the biggest thing. though if.

if to moving to Las Vegas but they've. now had two different sites that they've. focused upon to build this new stadium. why are you giving a single solitary. harder incent of yours to that. organization that's going to turn its. back on you and leave as as somebody who. grew up in Cleveland I understand the. feeling about this like the Browns left. when I was a teenager and it was the. absolute worst just the worst and. sporting heartbreak like there you know. it's like your your long time girlfriend.

or boyfriend uh leaving you behind. you're not going to want to pay them any. attention pay them any mind and. especially pay them any money what's the. book The Outsiders where they talk about. Bill Gates growing up in an area where. they're like the only computer that was. accessible to the public was and maybe. that helped lead him to become who he. was outliers Malcolm Gladwell boom there. it is the outliers this guy in Cleveland. die hard football fan Brown's team picks. up leaves goes to Baltimore turns us. back on football becomes the greatest.

Baseball Insider you can be and here we. are yeah there it is how about that yeah. admittedly admittedly I moved to Kansas. City Patrick Mahomes came and I got. season tickets so I mean it's not the. the elegant ending that we're looking. for here. yeah it's a good thing yeah this isn't a. bad thing the whole like I thought the. Oakland Raiders fans would be pissed. when the Raiders go to Vegas they stuck. with them they go over to Vegas and Like. the Oakland people but they're still. like fans you don't think that's going.

to take place with the A's no chance no. chance at all Oakland still shows up the. Chargers game yeah all all A's fans just. feel abandoned not by the team as much. by the sport because Pat this thing has. been going on for two decades now they. have had they have had. I I mean they've had this you know bud. selig was talking about this when he was. commissioner back in the early 2000s. like we need to get something done with. Oakland and it's 2023 now and only now.

are they finally getting it done it's. it's unfortunate and and I really feel. for the fans there because Oakland it's. a great City and it is a great fan base. if you give them something to root for. well when you're going out there and. putting a team that's playing 250. baseball out there there's not a whole. lot to root for me Brad Pitt back in the. building Tony has a question for you. passing yeah Ty referenced them the. buckos the buckos were on an absolute. Terror they're still second in the. division is water fighting it's level. there though or we think they're gonna.

they're gonna contend for a NL pennant. here. yeah they they've been they've been. rough lately I think they were playing a. little bit above their talent level but. they've got some guys there who you. really can root for if you're a. Pittsburgh Pirates fan I mean look at. Mitch Keller and what he's done his last. two starts we're hitting shout out. followed by seven shutout Innings 13. punches no walks I mean he looks like a. real guy uh and you got the feel good. story of the year and Andrew McCutchen.

coming back and you know playing. extremely well and when O'Neill Cruz. comes back they got Brian Reynolds sign. 100 million dollars pat pat Magby did. you ever think you'd see the day where. the Pittsburgh Pirates went out and. guaranteed 100 million plus dollars to. the guy that's why I got this merch on. because all we've been saying is sell a. team you don't want to win clear you. don't want to win how do we know that. well when players get good you get rid. of them the World Series is literally. littered with ex-pirates players all. over it oh this pitcher what do you win.

whatever the pitching award is where is. he playing four oh he was at the [ __ ]. Pirates of course he was what's this guy. oh he's hitting uh 700 or whatever in. the player where do you play less of. course he did it's like we get to see. all these Pirates players go on and have. success but it's never with Pittsburgh. because the ownership never wanted to. Shell out the dollars to have a winning. team now it feels like he's paying. somebody yeah I appreciate it here we go. here we go looks like they're trying to. win I respect and appreciate that and. I'm happy he looked in the mirror and.

said I sold Seven Springs which was an. incredible. I used the tube there but I guess people. skiing snowboarders yeah it was the. number one rated ski resort in the. Mid-Atlantic region you saw that so that. was taking up a lot of his time because. he had tubing and snowboarding half. pipes he even had one of those things. where you sit on like a car and it goes. down through the mountain the toboggan. like thing Alpine Slide Alpine Slide. yeah that's sweet so he's focusing on. that all the time we need a new turn on. the Alpine Slide so they sell that thing.

you know they sell Seven Springs now his. full attention is on the Pirates and. he's spending money I'm hey I'm on your. side now sir oh yeah but let's win you. know let's win because the bacas deserve. it they're not going to win though the. Mets going to win this year or the Mets. you know they spent all that money yeah. that's aren't good Mets are not good. Yankees Yankees thank you Yankees. Yankees are all right yeah they're. turning the corner right now show hey. latony breaking records the Angels got. to be good. ah the angels are fine ohtani's still.

the best it's just it's it's so. ridiculous because he keeps getting. better like if you watch a game he's. like watch that yeah amen yeah I I mean. seriously if you watch a game these days. uh you know up in the the Chiron in the. corner every time a guy throws a pitch. it'll say what it is right and so it. could be fastball it could be slide or. it could be curveball there's a new. addition to that this year and it's. called the sweeper and it's a slider. that has much more side to side movement. than sort of the down and away late. break that it typically has uh shohei.

Otani picked up a sweeper last year and. now throws arguably the best one in the. big leagues because the guy who hits an. MVP caliber and pitches at MVP and Cy. Young caliber actually needed another. weapon I mean he's ridiculous and it. listen he's got four more months to stay. healthy and if shohei Otani stays. healthy I'm looking forward to coming on. to your show on ESPN Airwaves and. talking about how he's going to be. making somewhere between five and six. hundred million dollars guaranteed. because that is what the contract is.

True Value what the Yankees Right Bingo. Red Sox no red races Red Sox for sure. nope nope five games back you know. Central jet someone just said it it is. the Dodgers oh Dodgers I don't know if. it's gonna be the Dodgers but I know the. Dodgers are going to be very much in it. the Dodgers remember did not go out and. spend any money oh did we lose the. switcher no who knows what you're doing. good Good callback though we did have a. practical malfunction this is just uh.

put it out there we're looking at the um. at the records and standings right now. of every team Dodgers actually winning. they're going to be the ones that are. going to get show hit well his best. friend no I don't know if they're gonna. get show how Tony I know they are. extremely interested in him but so are. the New York Mets and the Mets you know. Steve Cohen went out this year and. showed he has a ton of money and is. willing to spend it and I think Edwin. Diaz will be back next year their. manager actually just said that the. World Baseball Classic has basically. like ruined their season oh that was a.

good time. he didn't because guys were missing camp. and then obviously Edwin Diaz you know. lost for the year so. the. who's on show Walter. yeah he's not happy because the Mets.

stink. World Baseball Classic was electrified. it was unbelievable what if you were the. coach though Pat what if you're what if. you were you were the Chiefs coach and. Pat Mahomes got hurt in the football. classic. I'd say thank you for representing your. country Patrick. I appreciate you doing that and okay you. signing up for more work instead of less. work is admirable and that's why we paid. you all that money with that being said. we are [ __ ]. [Music]. because of what happened with you yeah. that's keeping 100 real that's yeah I am.

worried about the future of the World. Baseball Classic because I just learned. about its existence I became a big fan. of it and it feels like now it's going. to be nothing just like the Pro Bowl. games you know uh miles Garrett broke. his toe or something like that yeah that. ain't never gonna happen again ever. again that obstacle course that was like. the American Gladiator that ain't gonna. happen again because somebody got hurt. it was fun it was scratch it. it's gone uh we appreciate you jet stay. healthy who's going to win boys.

are you talking the World Series yeah. well we know the World Baseball Classic. yeah yeah who's going to win not the. fans that's right. yeah I'm uh you know I love the Tampa. Bay Rays they have been the best team in. baseball this year by you know what Ty. I'm curious what you think about the. Rays I'm sorry to pawn this off but if. someone who's seen them a lot and roots. for the Yankees the rays are the goods. right oh yeah for sure and it's just. like they have a bunch of guys who you. really haven't heard of but they just. they play the game the right way they.

play small ball that like a lot of times. their starting pitcher will go two. innings and then they'll just kill you. with their Bullpen it is amazing that. they are as good as they are especially. playing and the drop is a shitty shitty. Stadium they've given the they've given. the Yankees trouble for a very long time. they just scrape and Claw and they are. very good. they hit a ton of home runs but they can. also play small ball this year they do. start yeah they're they're they're hit I.

mean Pat you would if you like home runs. you would love yeah that's why I watched. slam Diego when they're on the field. slam yeah trust me you know what the. rays are what the Padres want to be. well Padres they're worse than demon. basically yeah apologies are just. laughing on the bench while their teams. getting killed they don't care they were. throwing a joke about how bad they are. they were laughing at themselves they. weren't laughing because the team was. team was I don't know I heard they were. laughing at some big fat clown in the. stands and apparently they're looking up. at him let's go all right let's go.

baseball top Skills game. no exactly oh good joke. all right jack that's a good walk off. for you yeah MLB Insider for ESPN Jeff. passing thank you baby. baseball a lot of baseball talk there. yeah baseball's been hot these last. couple days I haven't seen a single. thing other than Aaron judge's eyes yeah. right and then the Yankees pitcher it's. just those two things Pirates two two. and twelve over the last 14 games AJ oh. that's not good like I said the reds are.

nipping right behind them back in the. central oh one game that's already. mathematically eliminated oh no oh no. we're doing incredibly well cannot wait. I like the Wii talk yeah I should take. the kids to a game I might bring my put. my glove on and go to a game take a fish. in that take one of those big fish in. there oh yes walking over your shoulder. it's the very top row of the stadium too. very top no no no no third Baseline. about 15 up from 15 20 rows up that's. the Kill Zone I don't want to be killed.

you got that in that there's nothing to. pay attention to every single pitch you. think I'm playing I'm gonna lose my. focus you know that no you're getting. the ball from the kid that's doing the. uh ball boy the ball we need to catch a. real one we need to catch a live ball. there's nothing there's nothing there's. Nets line in the field now you there's. no kills though how do you fit your. fingers in a baseball glove that is true. oh yeah. all four hours uh played some catch. yesterday my hands go fit nicely into a. glove is it a molded one that you've had. your entire life like one one like a. mouth guard I do have one from when I.

was younger I still use but no this. one's only a couple years old it's. molded to my fingers like uh like the. Birkenstock sandals you know kind of. like your mouth yeah you pull in warm. water yeah and then you just hold this. there.

hard to keep clean. that's good clean material though yeah. it's Daddy can you hear that off. okay yeah I do hear that yes there's a. microphone in front of you I can hear. that invite me down. just uh there ain't nothing gonna come. on this is one never I'm wearing this in. the rain in the mud storm oh yeah okay I. can't wait shall wait after a mud storm. I hate months I'm sliding into second.

base at PNC park with this thing and. you're waking up shining still no. because uh the stuff they put on the. outside that's actually the jacket they. put on the pictures when they get to. first base keep them keep them horrible. yeah yeah and they do this number here. buttons suck yeah yeah but you're never. gonna button it up yeah. maybe you know never know if it gets a. little chilly yeah. the button uh onesies for the baby at. the bottom. I mean. what terrorists created that okay need a.

zipper yep my baby moves thank God it. does okay if it didn't I'd be a little. bit worried about you know are we still. breathing and Alive here doing the. buttons it's tough yeah impossible bro. and then they got one like on the back. side of an ankle oh yeah so let me get. this straight I'm supposed to [ __ ]. line them yeah you can't line it up. sorry yeah you can't why not you get it. all done you realize you skipped two and. then you're all off why are they allowed. to even make that as an option that that. should not be allowed to be an option.

from those companies honestly don't. don't you do you agree you've had 10. kids right yeah I agree the zipper just. zip them right up you're right when it's. the buttons yeah it's it's a hassle. would it be easier if the Buns were like. color coordinated that would actually. you still gotta get like your kids move. too babies move their legs are flailing. everything so that's the angle why I. mean we need to TM this right now dump. everything we just talked about and. create a baby zipper no they are velcro. they have to just grab it. no buttons exist my issue is that the.

button ones are even available there is. not one button particle of clothing in. my daughter's wardrobe anymore those are. gone so we had a bunch flippers a lot of. people gave us I think a lot of button. ones or everything like that we. appreciate you sending those. those things are never going to be put. on an actual child need the Dual zippers. boom from the bottom too yeah exactly. because you get the ones that just go at. the top oh nightmare Bingo yeah exactly. you gotta change your diaper. how many buttons how many button ones do. you have that we're using zero but no no.

how many do you have that just were. given to you to be honest I'm not sure. because I've only seen three of them and. every single time it's like not doing. this well if there's like 10 you can. just combine them for like a bid for. Chuck and then just have Chuck geez. What's your deal true a lot of people. are calling shame and Chuck you're right. Chase. I'm just saying Chuck's bigger than a. Pitbull right now I'm extremely worried. about groceries these ferocious too I'm. extremely worried about them he's still. trying to gain weight he didn't gain.

weight he looks the same did he gain. weight he swallowed 50 bricks is huge AJ. otters and stuff has he been at the old. house at all is he eating any of the. fruit loops and everything from the. animals no he's going pituitary gland. problem I do believe just like a Big. Show Andre the Giant all that thing yeah. that's who chalk is sorry about it no. worry that an eagle's gonna pick him up. at least none at all yeah he hasn't. really got much taller it's mostly just. he's a corgi with unless we're gonna do. the little metal thing that that one. person was doing oh yeah which did you.

watch that video oh yeah I watched it it. was nice that's real why yeah I don't. know it was a long process. you could be 6'4 you probably can't even. run with that thing and no way no no no. no no no not to barely walk still. you guys saw the metal attached that. guy's leg and said I want to watch this. oh no no I said I kept watching yeah. they saw it right through his [ __ ] what. later in the video no no no no no they.

showed you the x-rays ah I just got so. much pain in my shin like I have that. thing. it was like a couple year process I feel. like too to make him that tall let's go. a little positive way I saw a guy in. Texas I believe. not a heart pumping blood through his. body as a heart two things they created. that's wild he has no heart right now. wow but his his body is operating can he. still feel love is that the guy if I. plug into the MRI machine and it shot up. his body. I don't know about the butt plug I do.

not know about the emotional uh what was. that called because yeah I sent uh. I don't know if you lose heart you lose. your sentientness yeah. but it seemed to be eaten I saw him. eating oh he wasn't like sleeping he was. up doing stuff yeah I'm like that's good. it wasn't hooked up to a machine so it's. in his they put the machine in there. like they pulled his thing and the. machine's in there so. full full-blown like artificial heart. yeah I think it was like crazy wow hey I.

probably figured that out it's gonna be. tough when the power goes out that's in. charge. I'm assuming he's solar what are we. talking about he's got to be solar he's. got him in Florida or California get the. solar powered yeah gotta go outside for. at least two hours every day with no hat. on yeah how's he how's he fly on planes. yeah for real I mean he just always has. something in them so oh. that guy cannot Vlog. okay really why not that guy's not.

leaving his house he's lucky he's. [ __ ] eating mush or whatever he's. eating no he had a fork so something are. you getting on a plane with a guy with a. metal heart I don't think you know like. I think yeah I think that's the thing. though you know what's your guy's. problem this is good news great news. talk about this we gotta clarify this. once you guys attacked attack this guy. so bad for peanut butter shaving or. peanut shavings and almonds yeah it just. sounded disgusting oh you're right yeah. you're right because he bought a support. on my side about that sorry about it I. attacked him because he's your father.

and now he's gonna tell the Next. Generation what to do when it comes to. eating sweets and we're gonna have a. bunch of freaks on I don't know anybody. eating Froyo and shaved almonds so. you're saying he's potentially. influencing people in a pro improper. fashion exactly it's getting a healthier. option at the Froyo bad idea yes it's. dessert I'm supposed to enjoy it so I. think people would argue with you on if. you're right or not but with that being. said I would never get that no no chance. if there's an Oreo option right I'm. going with Oreos Yahtzee no matter what. Eminem's but I've seen people put like.

fruit in theirs see I'm okay with that I. don't do that no fruit's gross I don't. want to mix mushy fruit in there I need. crunchiness you know that. texture big deal what about Fruity. Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles are amazing. yeah you would never though put them in. there. if I'm going to if I'm going to eat. dessert I'm not getting Froyo I'm. getting a blizzard or something I'm not. going to the froyos you just said he's. just looking for a little sweet taste. yeah like if we ride the bikes with the. kids to the Froyo spot and I want to get. some Froyo that's what I get if we're. running by experience yeah all right I.

kind of have a problem with how many. times you keep saying Froyo and how you. say it yeah all right let's get to the. funds. for me I'm heading right to the far left. of the Pierce deep left yeah I'm doing. right here middle fourth closest middle. yes aren't you doing bottom left for. those peas It's Froyo healthy it's. supposed to be healthier okay I mean. healthier but still whatever yeah you. have it what once a year and that is the. no no I'll go work this off for the rest.
