PMS 2.0 1382 - AQ Shipley, Jeff Passan, Texans GM Nick Caserio, Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk

Speaker 1 Beautiful people

Speaker 1 and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome.

Speaker 1 On this football Tuesday, July 29th, 2025, this program begins now

Speaker 1 Football. It's happening all around the NFL in training camps in 30 cities.

Speaker 1 I should have done the math there before I went for that one.

Speaker 1 You're right.

Speaker 1 32 cities.

Speaker 1 You get it. There are 32 teams that are at training camp right now and trying to build the best team that they possibly can to maybe make a run at the Lombardy.

Speaker 1 We were chit-chatting about this before we went live about how, you know, predicting how tough a schedule is going to be for any team at this particular point is a pretty outrageous thing to try and do.

Speaker 1 Who knows what injuries are going to come before the season? Who knows what team is going to turn it on? I mean, did anybody think that the Washington Commanders are going to be good last year?

Speaker 1 Absolutely not. They almost win the whole damn thing.

Speaker 1 Now, obviously, the Philadelphia Eagles are as dominant as they were, and they're certainly maybe in the middle of starting a dynasty as they're combating against, obviously, another dynasty that's happening in Kansas City.

Speaker 1 We know a few teams that are going to be great, but there's going to be teams that aren't going to be shite.

Speaker 1 There's going to be teams that have been habitual shitty football teams that are going to end up being good this year and going to surprise the hell out of us.

Speaker 1 And all those things that are happening at all these camps right now are what lead to that potential success. So whenever we see a highlight, we should be excited.

Speaker 1 Whenever we see these guys working their ass off, we should be pumped up whenever we see them get into a little bit of a scrum and get excited about a little physicality we should be jacked up but we need to understand that there's so much growth from now until the actual season kicking off there's so much development there's so much of finding of a team that can happen in the next few weeks that can turn you from being uh maybe ass into maybe dynasty

Speaker 1 okay

Speaker 1 that's what training camp's all about now obviously before we get started we got to send our thoughts prayers positive vibes to everybody that was affected in the midtown manhattan shooting at 345 Park Avenue yesterday.

Speaker 1 An asshole, a piece of shit, traveled from Nevada all the way over there, walked through Midtown Manhattan with an AR-15, went into the Blackstone and NFL building at 345 Park Avenue, and four people end up dead with another one in critical, stable condition that worked for the NFL.

Speaker 1 Absolutely horrendous act, absolutely terrible.

Speaker 1 And the fact that they are linking it from a note in his pocket to football being the cause of this is obviously devastating for us in the sporting world and sport community.

Speaker 1 We think football is a beautiful sport. We think it is the best sport on earth.
Yesterday it was obviously a cause in an asshole's mind to go do something terrible and horrific in New York.

Speaker 1 We send nothing. but positive thoughts to everybody that is going to be affected by that.
We saw the Blackstone offices getting boarded up.

Speaker 1 Couldn't even imagine the mindset going back into that building, let alone just people at 345 Park Avenue, but everybody in New York, obviously you're around around a lot of people when you're in that city.

Speaker 1 Anything can pop off at any time.

Speaker 1 Whenever something like that takes place, where a guy's just walking through the city with an AR-15, perspective is put in real quickly that, hey, we got to be on our P's and Q's out here.

Speaker 1 We got to understand that although we are all hoping for a much better society and a perfect world, and I think a majority of humans all feel the same exact way on what Earth and planet Earth and United States could be, there's always going to be people that are,

Speaker 1 without a lack of better word, and it was said a lot, evil. There's going to be evil people.

Speaker 1 Now, he said he thinks his brain has CTE and he had mental health issues beforehand, and that was obviously being used as a reason for all this going to happen. It can't happen.
Okay, can't happen.

Speaker 1 And we hope it never does again. But the reality is it will.

Speaker 1 And we got to make sure that we are continuing to provide society with a reason to be happy and peaceful as opposed to continuing to move on worrying about assholes doing asshole things.

Speaker 1 With that being said, from football, I don't want to say I speak for football, but we hate the fact that we are being associated with this because all we're supposed to do is make lives better.

Speaker 1 That's what sports are supposed to do. We're supposed to unify people, not supposed to get people to drive across the country with a gun and go kill people they don't know.

Speaker 1 Okay, so that's how we feel. I think that's how everybody from sports feels that I have talked to and absolutely devastating.

Speaker 1 We will now be hopefully a little bit of a distraction from all the potential negative happening or a little bit of a celebration of what the football world has going on that isn't that, like training camp and dreams taking place all over the world.

Speaker 1 You know, we talked to Peter Schrager yesterday, and he said that the NFL network execs tell you that August is actually their most watched time.

Speaker 1 And obviously, the NFL network doesn't have playoff games and everything like that in January and December and February, obviously the Super Bowl, which is when everybody else's numbers are through the roof because they have the games and everything like that.

Speaker 1 But everybody watches the NFL network in these training camps because every team has optimism. Every team has a highlight coming out.
Every team has a new player doing something.

Speaker 1 It's like, wait a minute, that's the missing.

Speaker 1 That's the missing piece we needed right there. We go.
There's a chance that this could be the best year in the history of the NFL. And it's all starting right now.

Speaker 1 The talks table's here at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt. Hey, there's some baseball stuff happening.
Yeah. Bryce Harper with his beautiful hair.
Great.

Speaker 1 Handsome face. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Incredible baseball resume. Yeah.
Okay. And name.
Manfred came in and said, hey, boys, how are we going?

Speaker 1 Dr. Sourcat.
Hey, hey, we're going.

Speaker 1 Bryce said, you

Speaker 1 get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 1 We don't want to hear you negotiating with us. We don't want to hear because allegedly there was something about going around a PA as well.
And how is that whole thing going to go?

Speaker 1 I heard some rumblings at the all-star

Speaker 1 when I was talking to some of the players about some of their fears and everything like that. Literally, right?

Speaker 1 How is it all-star? Yeah, embedded in it. This feels like there's some big shit right around the corner here for baseball.
Like very, very big. We're talking about baseball being in a surge.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's what we've been talking about. And I think we all, nine-year-old NFL vet Darius J.
Butler, I think we all agree baseball is doing a little something.

Speaker 1 Yeah, biggest stars showing up in the biggest moments, and that's when you get the casuals in. That's what any big-time sports win.
That's what the run, the kind of run the MLB has been on.

Speaker 1 Home run derby up like five, six percent. I forget what it was.
I mean, every baseball good right now. Yeah, but then if you forecast to the future in this moment, it's like, oh, no.

Speaker 1 Is this all for naught? Are we about to take a massive step backwards and they're not going to be able to get a new CBA done?

Speaker 1 Is the salary cap going to get implemented and people are going to get pissed?

Speaker 1 Are the players going to not only maybe get struck like a strike, but are they going going to get held out, locked out of this entire thing? I mean, this feels like there's some real shit brewing.

Speaker 1 When does this all happen? And we're going to have Jet passing on at 1245, 1240-ish. This feels real for baseball, yeah?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 3 I mean, like, it didn't really happen, but it kind of started with the COVID year when they were, because they basically were saying, like, hey, if you're one of these players who's making a bunch of money, you're going to have to take like 60% of your salary because we're having less games.

Speaker 3 And all those guys were like, no, absolutely not. So obviously, you get guys who are signing $750 million or a guy like Bryce Harper or Judge, they're making $400 million.

Speaker 3 Like if a salary cap is implemented, guess what?

Speaker 3 Those guys are going to be standing to make a lot less money, probably you would think, because teams aren't going to be able to pay these exorbitant numbers for one player.

Speaker 3 And let's just say the stars of the game, when it's been played one way for forever, they're not all of a sudden going to be the ponies who just say like, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 3 You can cut my salary in half. That's fine.
Half.

Speaker 1 That's probably dropping it. I mean.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, some of these guys stand to lose like a lot of millions of

Speaker 3 hundreds of millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 And they're just, they're not going to go quietly into the night as I laugh because, like, that is, that is the reality of the situation. Yeah.
That is the real deal.

Speaker 1 If a salary cap gets put in place, they'll start putting percentages on each player. Hey, your best hitter gets this percentage of the salary cap.
This pitcher gets this, just like football does.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And that's going to obviously cap things.
I assume it will make a lot of ass teams more competitive because if there was a cap, there would be a floor for the ball.

Speaker 1 People would spend the floor, right? So we'll talk to Passon. We'll talk talk to Passer in a little bit, see what he's got going on.
Anything else happening in baseball?

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, there's still some gambling allegations.

Speaker 1 What? More negativity? Yeah, same team, too. So it's kind of, we'll see what he goes.

Speaker 3 I don't know what's going on in Cleveland, specifically in the bolt

Speaker 3 in Cleveland, but they're saying a lot of these guys are very suspect right now.

Speaker 1 What do you mean? What do you mean?

Speaker 3 What do you mean? So like Emmanuel Klase, who two years ago, he was like arguably the best closer in baseball, and he's just been bad this year.

Speaker 3 And then, so this comes out that says, like, we think he might be, we don't know yet. He's placed on administrative leave.
There could be a gambling situation.

Speaker 3 So then some of the sleuths go out and like look at some of his pitches. Yeah, there's this situation where he had what, 22 pitches with an 0-0 count with the bases empty.

Speaker 3 And this guy went through and was basically like, wow, a lot of these are uncompetitive.

Speaker 1 How about Ahan Rinta here going, could have made a lot of money if we knew what was happening here. Pretty obvious is what they're saying.
Now, these are all allegations, obviously. Right.

Speaker 1 And the ball can hold onto your finger a little bit longer and he can throw it in the dirt. We watch people go out there for the first pitch all the time, put it in the dirt.

Speaker 1 I tried to do it, put it in the dirt a little bit. Right.
So we could see how that could happen. Right.
But, man, whenever there's an allegation, which is what this is, just an allegation. Correct.

Speaker 1 These are just allegations. Okay.
I think there's been some that have been come to fruition and people have been banned forever. Correct.
But there is just an allegation here.

Speaker 1 All the sports where there's allegations on these players, not only are you guys being told you're cheats,

Speaker 1 now you got people going through your entire career looking for your most ass players. And they're good.
And they are good at finding them. Yeah, they'll find you.
I don't know if it's Grok.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it's Mr. GPT or Mr.
GPT. I don't know who it is.

Speaker 1 But if somebody's getting an allegation against them that they're throwing games, people are automatically thinking that that's a negative.

Speaker 1 So whenever these guys look worse than they've ever looked before, that is whenever they were giving it away. That's a tell.
And they find them. Oh, yeah.
And I'll tell you what, guys look like ass.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And every sport.

Speaker 3 Fans of the Guardians who are like, this guy was lights out last year and he fucking sucks this year. So yeah, I I can go find what's going on with this guy.

Speaker 3 He's also one of like the biggest pieces to potentially get traded. And so, I have no idea.
He's been placed on administrative leave, I think, to like the end of August.

Speaker 3 Yeah, obviously, Eugenio Suarez, he's the other big piece who might get traded. He got hit in the hand last night.
X-rays were negative, so he doesn't have anything broken.

Speaker 1 That's scary. But oh, yeah, happened to showhey, right?

Speaker 3 Well, and the big thing with him was the Tigers, they're playing the Tigers, and they're saying, like, the Tigers are the team who need him. Like, they might, so like, what, what a just, you know,

Speaker 3 yeah the universe working against you we might want to trade for this guy let's drill him in the hand and break his oh classic tigers let's go to one half of the hammer

Speaker 1 cowboys ap tone hey football camps all over the place we're going to be in st.

Speaker 1 Vincent College tomorrow live at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp the guest list from what I'm hearing is Pretty outrageous. Let's go.

Speaker 1 So the Pittsburgh Steelers, first of all, we're very thankful that I think a lot of people in that building and on that team watch the show. Yes.
Like I think they are, they understand it.

Speaker 1 Obviously, we are from Pittsburgh, so we are talked about by, I think, their friends in the neighborhoods in which they live, whether good or bad, whatever the case.

Speaker 1 So, we've kind of been forced into the Pittsburgh Steelers people's lives. Now, granted, I'm a former pump passing kick champion, national champion

Speaker 1 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. On that field, I don't know how many Pittsburgh Steelers representatives won the national pump passing.

Speaker 1 Legitimately, I might be the only one.

Speaker 1 Whatever the case,

Speaker 1 they know us. Congratulations.
I thought Billy Gardea won one.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Sam Bank. He did after.
No, no, he did the adult. Oh, that was Andy Reid.

Speaker 1 Andy Reid did do that. He had a helmet on.
That was a different punt pass and kick than I did. We did not have full pass.

Speaker 1 Old school.

Speaker 1 That punt passing kick contest was built for me, though. Now that you guys kind of know me a little bit.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was a contest that was literally built for me. My mom forced me to do it.
She was like, hey, you got it. This is.

Speaker 1 We're doing it. Mom drove me to this thing.
She like set it all up, did the whole thing, and immediately just beat the shit out of her.

Speaker 1 I mean, the little regional one, which was held at a tiny little school that was in New Kensington, I think, which is next to Plum down the road a little bit.

Speaker 1 That's where the Steelers ringer would go. Yeah, the guy who won.
I guess the guy won from like... eight to nine, 10 to 11, 12 to 13.
I was 14 at this time, I think. And

Speaker 1 the kid that won every year went to this one because there was only like four or five people competing at that. So like he knew the game.
Then all of a sudden I show up to that thing.

Speaker 1 Hey, this kid's not supposed to be here.

Speaker 1 Just birth a certificate on this guy. Lucy Burger.
But that punt pass and kick thing was literally built for me. Like that is all the skills that I have basically when it comes to football.

Speaker 1 I can throw the shit out of a ball. I can kick the shit out of a ball.
And I can punt the shit out of the ball.

Speaker 1 And it just so happens to be that you can go to a Pittsburgh Steelers game if you're good at these three things.

Speaker 1 And me, Jason, damn, got a chance to go sit right on the fucking field of the Pittsburgh Steelers game.

Speaker 1 And then we got to go to a playoff game that the Pittsburgh Steelers were in just because they just so happened to be playing against the Tennessee Titans. So it was a hell of a run.

Speaker 1 Thank you to Punt Pass and Kick people for putting that together. Hey, if you got a huge leg and a big arm, you can go watch NFL, you can go watch Steeler games.
That was, you got it.

Speaker 1 We go and do that. So the Steelers know us, is what we're saying.
I was reminded yesterday,

Speaker 1 biggest Steelers fan I know, a friend of mine, Kalena, she actually sent me a video that's going around. I guess I forgot you shot a universe ball for them.
Yeah. Win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so the Steelers know us. That's the song with all the boys singing this off.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Steelers know us. Oh, no, obviously.
By far.

Speaker 1 By far. Just pissed off.
Done so bad. So bad.

Speaker 1 It's been so bad right now. Yo, Ton waffles from time to time.

Speaker 1 I know. I know.

Speaker 1 Sometimes he goes to the players. Sometimes he's with us.
This is she's Steelers through and through.

Speaker 1 Steelers. Does she have a microphone to talk about it every single day?

Speaker 1 No. So we don't know.

Speaker 1 That's always the logo. Anyways,

Speaker 1 we appreciate the Steelers. I think the Steelers understand who we are.
And they've offered up everybody everybody basically in the building for the show.

Speaker 1 So I think guys are going to just walk by too. It's like headset.
We're going to have headset on because practice is starting at like two o'clock.

Speaker 1 So they have a walkthrough I think that ends at noon and then they got practice at two.

Speaker 1 So it's like,

Speaker 1 it should be a really good setup is what we're saying. It should be a very cool day tomorrow for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, NFL fans, and for us.
This is wild that we get a chance to experience this.

Speaker 1 The last time I was at this was a little boy with my dad at training camp. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 Doesn't surprise me that a lot of people are coming through. I talked to someone in the building who said the excitement for tomorrow starts at the very, very top.

Speaker 2 And when that happens, it kind of resonates through the building so that, you know, everyone, everyone is very excited for tomorrow.

Speaker 1 D.Butch and I

Speaker 1 sat.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 About four down from the Rooney family at Mr. Ursay's funeral.

Speaker 1 We have no idea how we ended up in those rows. We are in the NFL owners' rows.
Literally.

Speaker 1 Yeah. literally.
They're predicting the future.

Speaker 1 Shout out to the Cardinals, by the way.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 Shout out to the Cardinals. Looking good.
Owner of the Cardinals. Bidwell.
Great man. Yeah, Michael.
Pilot. Yeah, he's a great man.
He sat right here, right next to me at that funeral, and

Speaker 1 got a chance to chit-chat with him. Who was to my

Speaker 1 whatever it was? The Rooney was a couple down. Everybody was there, basically.
And they were all incredibly nice to us. And the Arizona Cardinals guy was so nice.

Speaker 1 And we have had to say things about the Arizona Cardinals

Speaker 1 in the past in their facility and everything numerous times. I think he's boy, right? Yes.
I think he's so, I think he kind of understands what it is.

Speaker 1 The future of the Arizona Cardinals could be incredibly bright.

Speaker 1 The future of the Arizona Cardinals will have a voice on it.

Speaker 1 The future of the Arizona Cardinals, ladies and gentlemen, and the bird gang will be led by none other than Moon Tyneship Gray, Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion.

Speaker 1 The man who somehow accomplished the feat of playing NFL offensive line with an arm length less than 30 inches.

Speaker 1 That doesn't mean anything else about any other parts of his body. Well.

Speaker 1 But we have seen his gut.

Speaker 1 We can assume some things.

Speaker 1 Host of In the Trenches, ladies and gentlemen, AQ Shipley.

Speaker 1 29 and 7-8. They just wouldn't give it to you, huh?

Speaker 4 What I lacked in arm lengths, I gained in other places. You see what I'm saying? I gained in head size, stomach size, and other things, you know?

Speaker 1 Ass. Yeah.
Ass size. Yeah.
And you got those weird shoes you wear, too. Those big fat shoes.
You know, those hoka things. Yeah.
Size eight. Yeah.
I forgot about that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Moved.

Speaker 4 Moved on. Moved on from Hokas.
I'm on the speed land. Remember the

Speaker 4 elf blood.

Speaker 5 Oh, yeah. Somehow found worse.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they are worse shoes.

Speaker 1 Sorry, to look at whoever created that, you did a great job. AQ loves them.
They're the most comfortable thing he's ever worn. Yeah, I thought we were all, I thought AQ was buying all.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I thought that's it. Yeah, we're all happy.
I'm happy then. I'm happy my eyes don't gotta see it every day, but Wednesdays.
That's all I'm happy about.

Speaker 1 Let's make an announcement. You made an announcement yesterday.
You are color commentating for the Arizona Cardinals this season. Congratulations.
Probably. Yeah, baby AQ.

Speaker 1 What does this mean? What does this mean? Have you always wanted to do color commentary? How experienced are you in this world? And how'd this all come together?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I mean, I don't know if I've ever, that's been a dream of mine per se, but I mean, what I do on your show is essentially that for offensive line across the league.

Speaker 4 And now it's just calling it live at games just for the Arizona Cardinals, which will be really cool. And it'll help me with the in-the-trenches segment.

Speaker 4 Obviously, I'll get a first-hand look at the Arizona Cardinals boots on the ground at every game. And

Speaker 1 Arizona Cardinals will be playing other teams. You're going to have to look into the other teams.

Speaker 6 I get it, but

Speaker 4 I got to be a voice to the Arizona Cardinals. I got to kind of be the homer.

Speaker 1 Oh, every homer. Okay, here we go.
Okay, so we lost a little bias

Speaker 1 or we gained a little bias from AQ. You also will be doing Wednesdays in the trenches, which we are excited about.
So you're going to have a great football season this year. We're pumped for you.

Speaker 1 Congratulations. Coming off a great offseason as well.
Training, guys. You know, he's been training guys.
How many guys did you have this offseason?

Speaker 4 I had 13 NFL offensive linemen come out to the Phoenix area and get to work in the shipyard. It's been awesome.

Speaker 1 The shipyard is

Speaker 1 a jolly night. 13's a lot of dudes.
Yeah. Especially because he doesn't have a facility.
I mean, he's got a gym in his backyard. He doesn't flush the toilet.
Right. It's a nice backyard.

Speaker 1 Yeah, very nice. It's got a trampoline in the ground.
So cool. So cool.

Speaker 1 You probably don't hit bottom anymore. How thin you are.
You probably used to really crash that.

Speaker 1 Great backyard. But you're training these guys now you're a color commentator you're hosting in the trenches you're literally on a trophy the trenching everything's doing great for you aq

Speaker 1 all right let's talk a little bit about football now let's talk about what's going on around the league philadelphia eagles still the best offensive line in football so we should look for them to repeat or is there another group that we should maybe be uh talking about and maybe giving a little bit more love to a you

Speaker 4 know i'm a big fan of the philadelphia eagles i think they got a great offensive line coming back i think tampa had a really good offensive line I think losing worst for a couple weeks is going to hurt them early on.

Speaker 4 When you lose your stalwart left tackle, I think that hurts a little bit. But, you know, you can look at the Buffalo Bills.
They're going to have a really good group.

Speaker 4 You can look at the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think they're an up-and-coming assistant.
Really?

Speaker 1 That's a big question. That's a huge question.

Speaker 4 I like their group, and I think continuity is a huge, huge, huge part of offensive line play.

Speaker 4 And when you get the same group of guys coming back, young guys to boot, probably spent the whole offseason together.

Speaker 4 I'm getting videos from your boys and pictures from your boys showing me Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier riding everywhere together on the same golf cart.

Speaker 4 So, you know, I feel real good about this group. I like the groups.
They got Baltimore Ravens got a great group. They got Voorhees coming back from injury.

Speaker 4 Didn't really play a whole lot the last couple years. He was injured coming out of college.

Speaker 4 He didn't get the start last year, but I think he's going to provide some depth to that Baltimore Ravens group. So

Speaker 4 I think the Chargers got a good group. They paid their guy, obviously.
Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, two of the best tackles in football. So there's some good groups.

Speaker 4 And then obviously, there's going to be some other groups that kind of sneak into this. Who knows? I mean, maybe the Denver Broncos put together a nice group.
I like their group on paper.

Speaker 4 So Washington.

Speaker 1 Washington,

Speaker 4 I like Washington. I like tons.
So I hate the fact that they lost Sam Cosby. He'll probably miss most of the year from the playoff ACL.
But

Speaker 4 they should have a decent group as well. I mean, it's going to be interesting.
I actually like the Arizona Cardinals' group. I think they've got one of the top 10 groups.

Speaker 1 We know

Speaker 1 we saw a tweet yesterday that we know that you think that with the Arizona Cardinals until you don't do what the tweet said you'd do yesterday, which we completely understand.

Speaker 1 By the way, you're gonna be on that plane, he's gonna be on their plane, he's gonna be flying on the Cardinals' team planes. You know, that's what happens here after what he said, huh?

Speaker 1 So, you're gonna hear a lot of complimenting of the Arizona Cardinals. If I had to guess,

Speaker 4 I would not want to walk in the best offensive line of football.

Speaker 1 Coach is so smart,

Speaker 1 Oh my gosh. Oh, he's been

Speaker 1 geniuses. Yeah.
You walk on that plane and the last thing you want to do is like,

Speaker 1 well, all right. I'm going to sit right up here.

Speaker 1 Hey, Kyler.

Speaker 4 Kyler, why does my credential not work anymore? Why is my credential not flashing green anymore?

Speaker 1 I'm excited for you to be biased towards that. I bet you they are too.
They finally get somebody.

Speaker 2 I can't wait till he's on the team plane. He's watching film and he's walking back to coach.

Speaker 1 Hey, GC. Hey, you should run this.
We should run a little fucking. Look at one of these.
We run a little bit. Look, he's good at this, I think.
I think he is what he wants to do.

Speaker 1 You got to keep your mouth shut on that fucking plane. You're not remembering.

Speaker 1 Keller commentator. You're right.
Let's not do it. Hey, let's not embarrass the program out there.
Now,

Speaker 1 if they also signed a consultant here, that's an interesting dilemma. I mean, we draw up a couple blitzes.
We got ideas too.

Speaker 1 So maybe we're coaching. All right.
Let's not. Once again, we don't need to mock a cardinal.
Sure, no. No.
That's what this is not about. You brought up Slater getting paid.

Speaker 1 There's another guy who got paid, Bernard. Bennett.

Speaker 1 You know, I saw that. What do you think about Bernard here,

Speaker 1 Raymond? Now, I think there's a chance. We have not looked this up.

Speaker 1 He is the first

Speaker 1 offensive lineman in the history of the NFL.

Speaker 1 I just thought of it. Who? Milada.

Speaker 1 Does he wear them? What? The Guardian cap? Yeah. I thought he had one on, yeah.
Jordan Milotto? I thought he had the guardian cap or the

Speaker 1 already-made different helmet, whatever it's called.

Speaker 2 Two different, very two different things.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 we're talking about it.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. He's a trailblazer.
Smart guy. I mean, this is groundbreaking.
Oh, it looks like what he is. That guy from Pittsburgh who got signed that no one likes.

Speaker 1 James Daniels, he's not on those tutors. $100 million?

Speaker 1 I didn't say no one. Not that.
All right, let's get back to it. Did you know this guy? I think I've seen him play.
I appreciate the fact that he marched. Gigantic human being.

Speaker 1 Ballard loves him, obviously. All reports out of Coach Training Camp,

Speaker 1 Anthony Richardson's playing football very well.

Speaker 1 Anthony Richardson prepared for football.

Speaker 1 Which makes us

Speaker 1 careers. We are believe ours.

Speaker 1 This guy had a guardian cap on playing left tackle, got paid $100 million. I think that is something that you would never...
think about, you know, just in the entire offensive line space.

Speaker 1 But this is great news for offensive linemen that Raymond's getting $100 million, right? Isn't this good?

Speaker 4 It's great news for offensive line. It should be a mandatory 10% discount if you if you're a guardian cap helmet guy.

Speaker 1 He doesn't wear it all the time. He just saw a clip.
He didn't have it on.

Speaker 1 I think he did it for his teammates.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 4 That was nice of him. But no, I mean, he's a good football player, and he came out a couple years ago.
And this is what you love to see, right?

Speaker 4 You heard Howie Roseman's interview, you know, about sign, develop, or whatever it was, draft, develop, sign.

Speaker 4 And I think that's a, I think that's a key piece that a lot of teams, if you want to get good, that's what you have to do. You have to take care of your own.

Speaker 4 You look at the good teams that have done well. They draft their guys.
They keep them. They sign them.
It's not like, hey, we're going to constantly try and redefine our team through free agency.

Speaker 4 And when you reward a guy that maybe wasn't a first-round pick, he gets drafted a little bit later. He kind of works his ass off.
He climbs the ladder, becomes a starter, puts good stuff on tape.

Speaker 4 He's good in the locker room. And then you pay the shit out of him.
I mean, this is exactly what you want to see. And this is good by the Colts.

Speaker 4 This has been really good signing. They got a good group.
They let some guys go in free agency, but building through their own is a good step.

Speaker 1 Congrats, Bernard.

Speaker 1 He's been in. Good work, Bennett.
We don't know if it's Bernard or Bennett. That's how the boys have been saying it, but nonetheless, happy they paid him.

Speaker 1 They must really love him. And also, Carly, Kalen, Casey, this is probably the first one, right? Yeah.
Yep. First big deal that has had to kind of be like, yep.
So they're investing in offensive line.

Speaker 1 I like that. I appreciate that.
Future looks nice, especially with these highlights coming out of AR.

Speaker 1 If AR can take a hit this year, which is possible, if he, you know, can avoid and figure out how to run without getting like absolutely clobbered every single tackle, like there's a chance he's a guy.

Speaker 1 Everything that we have thought he could potentially be, we've seen on these highlights. So he got a tackle paid.
Obviously, we lose Ryan Kelly. We also lost the

Speaker 1 fries in there. So it's kind of a mixed-match group, that new group.
Hopefully, they're off and running. We'd be excited to see it.
Congrats to Bernard.

Speaker 1 Now, let's talk about an offensive line group that got exposed on the biggest stage. Go ahead, D-Butt.
Yeah, I saw a Colts group. It didn't look that mixed-match when I saw it.
But good, good.

Speaker 1 Are you talking about offensive line? Yeah, yeah, good, strong group. Two years in a row.
Powerful group. But speaking of two, it is a Caucasian bunch.
Certainly.

Speaker 1 Ballard's got a type. Big, big, solid shot.
Ballard has the type. Yeah, hey, I like it.
But A.Q., the Chiefs. I mean, it was all white.

Speaker 1 They came out of the woods. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. They came walking out of the woods.
Like the white walkers. Yeah.
I think George Foster said, I ain't seen this in a long time.

Speaker 1 I think that's what George Foster was. One of the greatest followers on it.
What did he call it?

Speaker 1 One of the greatest followers on X, George Foster, former offensive lineman in the NFL. Black men.

Speaker 1 Haven't seen this in a long time. I didn't know it was.
2025?

Speaker 1 Hey, good group, though. The group.
Just pay Raymond. Yep.

Speaker 1 And another guy that got paid. Guy, you've been very, very high on Trey Smith.
You know, Creed Humphreys in the center as well.

Speaker 1 But the outside of that offensive line for the Chiefs, are they going to be okay? That was their, obviously, a glaring weakness in the Super Bowl against the Eagles.

Speaker 1 Are the Chiefs O-line going to make that step and be okay and be able to protect 15 this year?

Speaker 4 We've been saying the same narrative since 2020 when we played him in the Super Bowl when I was down in Tampa Bay, and it's been the tackles. It's been the bookends.
Can we fix the tackle situation?

Speaker 4 Their interior three is as good as anybody right now. Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, obviously they let Tooney walk, but they're moving the

Speaker 4 left tackle that got benched last year in the first game. They're moving him inside, giving him a try.
I'm not even going to try and pronounce his name.

Speaker 4 The kid from Bingsley. The one, yeah, there it is.
So, yeah, so yeah. Um, but the key to this thing is this, and I said this when we spoke after the draft.

Speaker 1 I thought they got a top 10. Kids names Kingsley, Kingsley, Sue Mayley.

Speaker 2 Sue Matiaya, something like that.

Speaker 1 It is, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1 yeah, yeah. Great names, and maybe the best kids that they've got out of English language.
Sorry.

Speaker 4 The kid that got out of Ohio State, I said this after the draft whenever you had me on the show. I said he was a top 10 pick.
Josh Simmons, left tackle.

Speaker 4 The clips of him coming out is he is a top 10 pick if he doesn't get hurt against Oregon last year.

Speaker 4 They get him with literally one of the last picks of the first round, and he is going to be their franchise left tackle. for the next 10 to 12 years.
And they got an absolute steal with him.

Speaker 4 The clips coming out of him, here it is. Look, he's just shutting guys down and he makes it look smooth he's throwing guys like a little dog

Speaker 4 yeah he's got a little dog in him i mean he was arguably the best tackle in the draft before he gets hurt he gets to go late to kansas city in the first round they got an absolute steal it was an injury that a lot of teams were concerned with but i mean he's young he's coming back he looks fierce he's smooth as can be he's athletic he's strong he's got the size this could be a key piece for the kansas city chiefs modern technology modern science too with all these injuries other than being young and everything like that, being a dog and rehab, how we have everything set up nowadays.

Speaker 1 I think you see teams take those types of gambles a little bit more. He's completely healthy beginning of camp.
I don't know how much, but you know,

Speaker 1 you're probably projecting that, I assume, at draft time. Hey, he's going to be completely healthy by camp.
Do you still know how to do it? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Deal. You talked about him very loudly.
You're like, hey, the steal of the draft is this guy, this guy, this guy. And of course, who gets him?

Speaker 1 Fucking Chief.

Speaker 1 And it's an offensive lineman as opposed to being like a 4-2 guy the steel of the draft is somehow an offensive lineman and who is it veach and reed yet again it's unbelievable how great teams continue to be great okay now speaking of uh tackles i don't think he will be doing this ever in his career but it's certainly becoming a trend go ahead tone yay q we talked about kingsley moving inside for the chiefs after he was drafted as a tackle out of by you evan neal of the giants is now moving into guard obviously mikai bechton did it last year for the eagles do you think this is a lot of teams copying what the eagles did because because the Eagles did it and because Stoutland did it?

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 how pissed do you think guards are going to be that every highly drafted tackle who doesn't work out is now going to get a chance at guard over top of them?

Speaker 4 Well, listen, it's a last resort move, and that's what happens. When you start to

Speaker 4 not play nearly as well as they think you're capable of, obviously, drafting you in the first round, the initial move is, hey, let's just move him into guard.

Speaker 4 It cracks me up whenever I was upstairs with every team. It's always like, hey, well, if he's not working out at guard, we'll just move him into center.

Speaker 4 If he's not working out tackle, we'll just move him to guard. It's like, it doesn't always work that way.
Listen, at the end of the day, Makai Beckton is a mammoth human being.

Speaker 4 And it just happened to be that he walked in to the Philadelphia Eagles with one of the best offensive line coaches, with one of the best schemes, and a scheme that fits where you don't have to do very much except just run off the football, right?

Speaker 4 When you are in a zone scheme, I mean, you can run off the football and get your get your body in the way of people and get your hands on people.

Speaker 4 And you're 6'6, 6'7, 6'8, and 340 340 pounds makes it look easy.

Speaker 4 But if you're in a system where it requires, hey, you're going to be one-on-one backside quite often in this past scheme, and now all of a sudden you couldn't do it at tackle.

Speaker 4 Now we're moving you into guard, it may not work out the same way as it did for Beckton as it will for Neil. He's been criticized heavily since he's got in there.
This is a make-or-break time.

Speaker 4 Like he's got to make it work right now at guard, or it's a wrap for him with the New York Giants.

Speaker 1 If you get two six foot six guys, six, you know, whatever tackle size used to be, first what guard used to be first what center used to be if everybody's just going to be golias that can move like we got to see that jordan milata guy at the esps yeah

Speaker 1 and he can kick us i mean he's so athletic fast it's just like it's outrageous like if he had to go into guard and be a pooling guard he could figure it out if he had to do it i assume there's going to be more athletic bigger men as we continue to evolve here if offensive lines are just going to become 6'6

Speaker 1 straight i mean there already has been i get dallas cowboys back in the day, I think, used to be known for that, right? Yeah, that used to be like Larry Allen. The Raiders used to do that.

Speaker 1 The Eagles did that last year. Obviously, Lane and Mackay next to each other is just like outrageous.

Speaker 1 Winderbomb aside, the Ravens were massive. And it works.
Like, hey, you win. Now, can you find all the guys that can fit in together?

Speaker 1 That's why the Philadelphia Eagles thing is so special because it's like they're all goats and they're all and they all just get along great and they all would do whatever the hell a stout tells them to do.

Speaker 1 They're all paid. And they're all paid.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And And they got Saquon as their running back. It doesn't hurt.
And it's like.

Speaker 1 That's a good run.

Speaker 1 We can extend some careers around here. Yeah, we can move some bodies over here.
Offensive line, most important position in all of sports.

Speaker 1 Offensive line, also most hand-to-hand combat in every single play. Go ahead, Con Man.
Yeah, AQ. Right now, Josh Simmons, you know, you just mentioned him being a mean cuss.

Speaker 1 He also threw a mean right hook that got caught on camera today during practice. Every year, the training camp, the pads come on, and we get these sweet fights.

Speaker 1 I can't wait for joint practice season as well. But as an offensive lineman, how difficult is it not to fight every single play?

Speaker 1 And then how do you know when your coach wants you to fight to show a little fire?

Speaker 4 Yeah, I don't think your coach ever is sitting there condoning fighting because I think as long as your coach played, he understands how tiresome it is to get into a fight.

Speaker 4 That's what people don't realize. If you're in the middle of training camp, like Deebuts, you know this, Pat, you know this.

Speaker 4 Like you've seen every offensive lineman they're just trying to make it to september like hey let's like let's just let's just get to september and if we're sitting here and you know we got a 30 play call it period coming up and it's basically full tilt one versus one scrimmage and the play the period before it's a blitz period and this

Speaker 4 defensive tackle keeps putting his hand in your throat and all of a sudden you swipe it down he throws a jab and now you're in a full-tilt fight I mean, you're seeing stars around your head for the next hour.

Speaker 4 And you're sitting there cramping up and you're sitting there like,

Speaker 4 I think I'm going to retire. I think I'm going to retire right now.

Speaker 4 You know, so whenever that happens, you hope the fight ends short so you can get back. But man, if it's a long one, I mean, there's been times where, I mean, my legs are dead.

Speaker 4 I'm trying to call timeout. I'm trying to fake an injury to get out of this thing.
Like

Speaker 4 it is the absolute worst thing because you get so tired. Your legs get heavy, your arms get heavy, and you're already on jet lag because training camp, that's what it is.

Speaker 4 You get put on jet lag four days in. That's essentially what it is.
You're sleep deprived. You're waking up for drug tests.

Speaker 4 You're going through two practices a day. And I know that, you know, one of them's a walkthrough, but it's still, they're long days.
Meetings drag you all the way till nine o'clock at night.

Speaker 4 You can't sleep because you lost a rep in one-on-one. And all night, that's all you're sitting there thinking about.
You're waking up at 2 a.m.

Speaker 4 I'm waking up at 2 a.m. trying to figure out an excuse on

Speaker 4 how I'm going to tell my coach what happened during that one-on-one and I look like an asshole. So all these things are combining during training camp.

Speaker 4 And then you get into a fight in day five or the second day of training camp.

Speaker 1 It's like, oh, it's going to be a a long day it's gonna be a long day i appreciated the fact that uh i didn't get i didn't have to do any of that well sure you know that you get involved no scuffle uh i did i i've i've been in um

Speaker 1 i've been in two training camp scuffles they come over to our area you know where we're standing we're we're sitting and it's just like a push push push push so that helmet goes on immediately and then it's hey

Speaker 1 you got to be on the defense

Speaker 1 and vinny was on the offense yep so we literally just faced each other

Speaker 1 what a hell. We made a mockery out there.
We made quite a mockery out of the situation.

Speaker 1 But if you were to put on the film, when it came over to us, helmets went on and we were in the scrum, which you have to be. Boys are brought in.
That's a whole nother thing.

Speaker 1 If you watch film and the offensive line is getting in a fight and there's three offensive linemen that are not in with the offensive line, I think you could probably pick out who's probably not going to be part of that offensive line group.

Speaker 1 I think early in training camp, you could probably figure out these three not probably going to be with the group. Like there's so much more that's going on in those fights as well.

Speaker 1 Obviously, you're very tired, but the team is watching that too. The scouts, coaches.
And the camera, they keep the cameras rolling. Roll it.
Keep it rolling. So, yeah, it's better be in that frame.

Speaker 1 And like you said, some people are bullshitting just to be in there, just to be, but you better show up. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Have to show up. Well, I learned that at West Virginia because people wanted to fight our team every warm-up.
It was just,

Speaker 1 it felt like, and maybe our team, you know,

Speaker 1 was a part of it as well.

Speaker 1 Dogs,

Speaker 1 yeah, we had dogs through and through. The The whole team was dogs, I think, if you were to look back at it.

Speaker 1 I have to show face.

Speaker 1 That was my immediate first reaction. I didn't grow up in a football world, but a little standoff happens.
I think it was our DBs, and I think it was probably, who knows, on the other team.

Speaker 1 And they're yelling and chirping. And I'm within,

Speaker 1 I'm 10 yards away. I'm doing my shit, though.
I am currently warming up. Have to turn around.
Half to show face, have to yell.

Speaker 1 Then Rich Rod, obviously, does a full, hey, don't be fucking scared to get in there, you know.

Speaker 1 You know, with the whole talk about me, it's like, okay, I did the right thing. Okay, yeah.
I didn't know what the football world is. But yeah, you always got to show up for your teammate.
Have to.

Speaker 1 Here's Josh Shimmy. My favorite.
Go ahead.

Speaker 4 My favorite thing is the O-line coach in meetings, like afterwards, right? Like, he's obviously echoing the message from the head coach, right? So he's sitting there.

Speaker 4 He's like, all right, boys, we can't have fights.

Speaker 4 I like that you got stuck up for your teammate. I like this.
Let's watch that clip back.

Speaker 1 Let's watch that.

Speaker 1 They're like breaking it down.

Speaker 4 They're like, good jack.

Speaker 1 Good over here. My man's grabbing for a helmet.

Speaker 4 Like, I mean, we are breaking this thing down like it's a UFC fight. It's pretty awesome.

Speaker 1 Well, the thing is, the uppercut seemingly the right play because it's up under there, but the pads. Yeah.
Because

Speaker 1 you can catch the pads there. So that's not as easy.
The helmet grab, always the play for the losing participant. That is always normally who's going first.

Speaker 1 Or it's first act of aggression straight to the helmet. Here we have Josh Simmons actually got into a fight.

Speaker 1 Here's Mark Palouse's video uh he's filming it from his camera i think so it's hard we get you'll see it though there's josh finishing a play jab boom what i like that what what

Speaker 1 what and then guy grabs his helmet takes it off he's still in there where's the team i like it

Speaker 1 where's the team it's kind of by itself

Speaker 1 i didn't like that I didn't like that.

Speaker 1 Now that play might have gone.

Speaker 4 I didn't like that either, but my man stood in there. He stood in the pocket like Iliad Teporia.

Speaker 1 Yes, he did, like Ilya Deporia. yes he did he max hallowaid that thing

Speaker 1 he said we'll do it's right here on your guys' side let's assume the offense is on the complete opposite side of the field let's assume that he's on a complete opposite side of the field and also let's understand that this is very normal or the training if rookie's a little too overzealous well and also he's got a great yeah that was fat

Speaker 1 he's worked on that i think he's been in a in a gym before because the placement too that would have been yeah

Speaker 1 now with a helmet

Speaker 1 not the greatest move but he felt it yeah there's a rattle in there All right, before we get out of here, final question. It's a good one.
Let's take you back to college. Go ahead, Todd.

Speaker 3 Yeah, AQ. Listen, I know you are a Penn State nitty line through and through, okay? And I'm just curious.
We heard James Franklin's comments.

Speaker 3 He basically said, hey, listen, if Notre Dame played in the conference and had to play Blue Bloods like Purdue, like we do, then they, you know, they wouldn't have beat us in the Orange Bowl.

Speaker 3 We would have went to the national championship. With that being said.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 So with that being said, do you think, because a lot of people think Penn State might be a national title contender this year, maybe going to go. Do you agree with that?

Speaker 3 Do you think it's bullshit that Penn State has these murders where they're playing Auburn and Purdue and Louisiana, Lafayette, and West Virginia and teams like that?

Speaker 3 Or do you think that James Franklin's maybe out on an island a little bit here? But overall, how are you feeling about the Nittany Lions going into this season?

Speaker 4 I think Notre Dame's schedule of yesteryear was a lot tougher. I mean, recently they're playing Duke.
They're playing Stanford. Stanford isn't what it used to be.
They got one of the.

Speaker 1 If they weren't to the ACC, that's who they would be playing.

Speaker 4 They would. They need to come over to the Big Ten where we've.

Speaker 1 Oh, so James. So James wants them in the Big Ten.
That's what he wants.

Speaker 4 I think that's what it is. I think that's what it is.

Speaker 1 That's a good way to recruit them. Great angle.
That is not a bad angle. Great angle.
I love what James Franklin is doing.

Speaker 1 Hey, you're both during a season. Sorry, ass.
Bunch, come on in here.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm sure he's signing up to play them every year.

Speaker 1 Who? You think James Franklin? Yeah, absolutely not. Can I give you my take on the Penn State Nitting lines?

Speaker 1 I think what happened at the end of that game against Notre Dame for Drew Aller was the best thing that could happen for Drew Aller. Okay.
I think it's terrible for Penn Staters. Obviously terrible.

Speaker 1 Terrible for Drew Aller. Horrendous that that is on his resume.
But I think that is a perspective putter for Drew Aller all offseason. Nobody's talked about him.

Speaker 1 We've talked about so many other quarterbacks. So many.
Drew Aller's six foot six. Drew Aller can throw the ball forever.
Drew Allard can run. Scott Moxie.
He's an Ohio guy. And then he had what?

Speaker 1 His worst thing of the season, basically, was his last play. It's like that, I think, motivation, perspective, chip on shoulder.
I think Penn State still has all those things.

Speaker 1 And also, I think you guys still have more money than anybody else in the country.

Speaker 1 You guys just signed a number one hockey guy. David McKenna.
You guys signed the next Sidney Crosby, allegedly, this fucking guy, to Penn State. The other sports are in the finals.

Speaker 1 Hockey made a deep run. Yeah, the wrestling sports.

Speaker 1 The Penn State Sports. Yeah, women's volleyball are about to become across.
I think everybody just needs to get ready.

Speaker 1 The Penn State Sports is gearing up to take over everything with the way they are constructed with CEOs and donors and boosters. And they're not just collectives.

Speaker 1 They're coming from actual people that have companies that are spending this money. So I don't think like the commission is going to be able to cut them out of this whole thing.

Speaker 1 $700 million update to the stadium, $167 million in an offseason.

Speaker 1 This is money. Fuck.

Speaker 1 We'll take this as well. We'll take, you donate 10 million.
We'll let you in a speakeasy in the back door.

Speaker 1 10 million is what it's going to take. Cold Jim Knowles.
Jim Knowles from Ohio State comes out. I mean, just like Penn State is all in on sports.
I love that. I like that a lot.

Speaker 1 I assume you do as well.

Speaker 1 Do you think the football team, because there's so many other schools that are all in as well, especially in the Big Ten, do you think they're going to be able to do what they did last year?

Speaker 1 And do you think they're going to be able to get even further?

Speaker 4 It's going to get real loud if they don't. It's going to get real loud because they have spent all the money in the world to keep that roster intact, right? They got their quarterback coming back.

Speaker 4 They've been able to keep both running backs. They go and poach Jim Knowles.
They pay the defensive tackle.

Speaker 4 And all these guys were borderline pro guys, too. Like they could have gone into the draft as well, let alone gone to another school for more money.
So they've done everything.

Speaker 4 They've gone all in on this. They've gone all in with everything at the university.
My man Pat Kraft is.

Speaker 4 Let's spend it. How much does it cost? Let's write the check for a dollar more, whatever it is, right? So he's doing everything he can to win.

Speaker 4 He's doing everything he can to put this program at the top in the upper echelon of college football and stop Penn State from being mentioned. And, okay, well, after the top four, after the top six.

Speaker 4 Like, no, he wants to win this damn thing. And they got the group coming back.
Obviously, we like the quarterback. You love that that play happened for Drew Aller.

Speaker 1 I didn't love it, but you know,

Speaker 1 I also love the play. I know you didn't love it.
But I'm just saying, mindset.

Speaker 1 As somebody got death threats at the end of a season, you know, at the end of a football season, my junior year, like all offseason, it was like, I've done nothing.

Speaker 1 I think I was all American already at two positions.

Speaker 1 I mean, it was just like, but that was just like, you are nothing in this entire world, especially with what people that are supposed to be on your side are saying to you.

Speaker 1 Like people, you have done nothing for us because you missed that. Like for him, I assume the shit has been.
Loud. Loud.
at him. And I think that's good if he's a dog.

Speaker 1 Like, I think that's a good thing if he's a dog. C.J.
Stroud talked about it at Ohio State about how he had a terrible time and he got murdered. And it was like that actually like created him.

Speaker 1 I think that like kind of callused him a little bit for what life is. Nobody wants that road.
Everybody wants to win national championship. Everybody wants to be perfect, do that whole thing.

Speaker 1 But sometimes like the worst thing can come at a time that can really make you your best you, if that makes sense. Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 4 And I've known you for the better part of almost 20 years now at this point. And I know you have that mentality.
I think I have that mentality.

Speaker 4 Like whenever your back's against the wall, like that's when your best comes out. That's me too.
Not everybody's built that way. So I'm curious to see

Speaker 4 how he responds if Drew is that guy, right? Like this is a big moment for him because

Speaker 4 every scout in America has your same sentiment, right? Every GM has your same sentiment. So

Speaker 4 can he be that guy? Will he be that dog whenever now you're backs against the wall?

Speaker 4 Whenever it's a two-minute drill and the game's on the line and you're down and you need a score and you need a play. This year, can you make that play?

Speaker 4 Because the guys at the next level, the guys that everyone's talking about, Mahomes, C.J. Stroud, right?

Speaker 4 Like all these guys with that mentality, they make that play at the next level on the biggest stage, on the biggest moment, in front of millions and millions of fans.

Speaker 1 Hopefully, you guys are able to do it this year for Penn State. I'd be happy for you, man.
And I also hope that Pat Kraft gets rewarded, the athletic director up there, for all the fundraising.

Speaker 1 That's what athletic directors' jobs are now. You're fundraisers.
Obviously vision and everything, but you're fundraising. 164.9 million, I believe, is what was reported.

Speaker 1 164.9 million from 20,000 donors, okay? 20,000 different donors. They have the most CEOs out of any school in the country.
Got to win.

Speaker 1 So they just got thousands of CEOs that are getting paid so much money. It's like, yeah, James Franklin got to win.
Pat got him. Yeah, because Pat Kraft.
in that team are going to be there.

Speaker 1 He's doing his job. They're going to be there.

Speaker 1 Does he have to win?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1 AQ would be

Speaker 3 before, so I guess it's like

Speaker 1 keep getting excited. What's his record against top five teams or whatever that's? Ladies and gentlemen, this man is color coming.
I like James Franklin. Remember, he was good too.

Speaker 1 He said, Turkey Burger.

Speaker 1 He didn't know what was on his burger. That's because it was a turkey burger.
He said, I like meat. I don't like turkey burgers.
Why has he got turkey burgers?

Speaker 1 Because I think it's good for a community. I think, you know, because there's a farm right there.
Sure, lowly source. Yeah, farm stables.

Speaker 1 Didn't he make that fan a speed bump, though, after he yelled at him? I mean, he was going to fight a fan. He's a little fire.
He's a little fire. I mean, that's James Franklin football.
That's true.

Speaker 1 He was just talking shit to Notre Dame, telling him, come Big Ten. Like, James Franklin, you know, but now he has all of everything

Speaker 1 that everybody else has had, that he's been competing against, I think, is what he would say. And now let's see what he does with it.
All right, we appreciate you.

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, thank you, Shipley. You're the boy.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who has covered a sport for us over the last few years that has kept us interested in a sport that we should have been loving all along.

Speaker 1 Obviously, the MLB is taken. I'm sorry.
I saw a lot of baseball people get mad that I say the MLB. Am I just supposed to say MLB? MLB.

Speaker 1 Obviously, MLB? Mm-hmm. No.
Yeah, I'm never going to do that.

Speaker 3 It's Major League Baseball. You wouldn't say that.

Speaker 1 The Major League Baseball. I get it, but it's like the league.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you say it for everybody.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but that makes sense.

Speaker 1 The National Football Legion.

Speaker 3 The National Basketball Association.

Speaker 1 The Major League Baseball. Sounds stupid.
It does. But that's.
But hey, I'm going to say the MLB.

Speaker 3 A lot of people do that.

Speaker 3 You don't have to.

Speaker 1 But I want to let you know. The baseball people have the tactics pretty hard.
I know. I get it.
Because there's manslaughter giving an answer.

Speaker 1 And the one comment, the biggest comment said he's talking to a guy that said, the MLB. None of this should count.
It's like, God dang. Ladies and gentlemen, why didn't you tell me? Jet passes.

Speaker 1 Why didn't you tell me, Jet? And the green screen ain't working. I see it's green.
Jesus. Dude, dude, I have wanted to say to you for so long.
It's not the MLB. I know.

Speaker 1 I'm sure you have right back there. I got murdered.
I got absolute murder just trying to do

Speaker 1 that. The baseball.
You know what?

Speaker 7 Listen, I appreciate the fact that you acknowledged it too, because you're right. If we're talking syntactically here, the Major League Baseball, it just doesn't work.

Speaker 7 But listen, as long as you care, I don't care if you call it MLB, the MLB, just baseball, whatever you want to call it, as long as you like baseball, that is what matters.

Speaker 1 Okay, I am turning into a baseball lover. So I think that's a good thing.
Now, I will say

Speaker 1 football highlights all over the place.

Speaker 1 And it's distracted.

Speaker 1 There is a,

Speaker 1 I'm running, I'm a dog running, and all of a sudden there's a barbecue here.

Speaker 1 And baseball, baseball, baseball is fun.

Speaker 1 Geno Smith just threw a dime to a guy named Dante. They said it was the darts.
It was the only one. Okay, all right, then we're back here.

Speaker 1 So baseball, football right now kind of colliding, and I think it will continue for the rest of baseball season. But let's talk about the baseball's future, shall we?

Speaker 1 Because I do care about baseball and I'm getting into baseball. And is it the bad, is it a bad time to get into the baseball? Hey, this Bryce Harper stuff with Rob Manford, interesting.

Speaker 1 Then the conversations that I was having with people whenever we were lucky enough to be at the home run derby, both players and other folks, it's like, hey, this CBA thing's a real problem.

Speaker 1 When is this?

Speaker 1 And baseball can't shoot itself in the foot right now. It feels like everything's going in a great direction.
Do you agree?

Speaker 7 I would like to believe that that's the case, Pat, because the collective bargaining agreement doesn't expire until December 1st, 2026.

Speaker 7 So we got like another full year plus before it even becomes an issue and labor or a lockout potentially is in play. But where it's at right now isn't great.

Speaker 7 And I think the confrontation between Bryce Harper and Rob Manford really illustrates the two parties that we have going on here.

Speaker 7 On one side, you've got owners and the owners, both publicly but particularly privately, have been talking about implementing a salary cap. There is a salary cap in the NFL, in the NBA, in the NHL.

Speaker 7 Why does Major League Baseball not have one? And the players, on the other hand, are like, you know what?

Speaker 7 And Bryce Harper, I think, believes this too.

Speaker 7 Generations of players. before the ones who are playing right now fought specifically to avoid getting a salary cap so you could have as free of a market as possible.

Speaker 7 And so the people who play this sport can be paid what they deserve and that there's no limitations on it. There's no constrictions on salary, on length, on anything like that.

Speaker 7 If a guy is phenomenal and he's out there in free agency, he can get 15 years in $765 million like Juan Soto did. And so you have these two sides that have completely conflicting opinions.

Speaker 7 And beyond that, Pat, you have a history here. It's been since the 1970s that owners owners have been pushing for a salary cap in MLB.

Speaker 7 They lost the World Series in 1994 because players went on strike to avoid having a salary cap. So there's a deep history here, and you're seeing a lot of the same arguments.

Speaker 7 You're seeing a lot of the same points. But I would like to believe that at the end of the day,

Speaker 7 everybody involved understands. Yeah, I mean, everybody involved needs to understand

Speaker 7 that you cannot lose a season. You absolutely cannot lose a season because baseball is in a good place right now.

Speaker 7 Baseball has people like you who they're bringing in and who are actually watching the game and seeing it and being like, hey, like, turns out baseball's good.

Speaker 1 Cool stuff.

Speaker 1 A lot of games. Yeah.
Cool sport.

Speaker 7 They've got a long way to go and a large gap to bridge before they get to the point where I think the sides are going to agree on something.

Speaker 7 And I just hope the 2027 season is not the casualty to get there.

Speaker 1 All right, a couple years from now, let's assume that leverage is being flexed by both sides right now and that a good negotiation will take place and collective bargaining will happen.

Speaker 1 And we'll continue to have greats playing great baseball, which is great for baseball right now. But I will say.

Speaker 1 Bryce Harper walking right up to the commissioner's face saying, get the fuck out of here. Dog love it.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. The boys,

Speaker 1 I know there's some Spanish speakers in there that don't understand a lot of English. So maybe somebody had to translate to them what was happening there.
That's what I learned at the home.

Speaker 7 Oh, no, nobody, nobody needed to translate what was happening. When Bryce Harper's holding a bat and walks up to the commissioner and says, if you want to talk about a salary cap, you can

Speaker 7 exactly what you said right there.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's it.

Speaker 1 And here's the thing: Manfred went right back at him. Yes.

Speaker 7 Like, Rob Manford dropped an F-bomb at him, too.

Speaker 1 This is my fucking club.

Speaker 1 You shut the fuck up. How about this? Give me a bet.

Speaker 1 Give me a bet. About that.
Nobody gives him a bet. I need a bet.

Speaker 1 Oh, man. What a moment.
That's baseball, baby. Okay.
All right.

Speaker 7 You know, and Pat, you know what that is, though? This is the first shot in the war.

Speaker 1 He takes all their bats.

Speaker 1 You don't get a bet. He takes all of them.
They can't play anymore. You know what? That looks like that's not regulation.

Speaker 3 This is mine. This is mine.

Speaker 1 That's mine.

Speaker 1 Hey, let's send them all the big-seamed baseballs to this team.

Speaker 1 Where are your baseballs? Okay, we only got three minutes. We only got three minutes to hard out.
There's other things happening in baseball that are also, sorry, baseball, not great for baseball.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, Ty.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Jet, what is going on with the Emmanuel Classe situation? Obviously, he's like one of the big targets this year around the trade deadline, but now there's the gambling investigation.

Speaker 3 He's been placed on leave. So what's going on there? Is this an issue? Because we've only, all these guys are from the Guardians.
And also, not just him.

Speaker 3 Eugenio Suarez got hit in the hand the other day. A lot of people were nervous.
He might have broken it. How does that impact his trade value and what's going to happen?

Speaker 3 Just quickly, what's going on with those two guys?

Speaker 1 Two minutes, Joe.

Speaker 7 Oh, I can do this easy. No broken finger for Eugenio Suarez.
When you have hand issues, it can really sap your power.

Speaker 7 But I don't think teams are concerned at this point because there is no break there. He's going to be fine.
He's going to get a haul. The Diamondbacks are going to do great.

Speaker 7 In terms of Emmanuel Klase,

Speaker 7 things are not quite as great because when you see multiple teams,

Speaker 7 multiple players from the same team, you worry like, oh God,

Speaker 7 could this be another situation like the Black Sox where everybody is involved in something?

Speaker 7 Now, it was interesting to see the Guardians put out a statement yesterday saying that it is expected that these will be the only two players who are involved in it.

Speaker 7 Major League Baseball continues to do its investigation right now.

Speaker 7 And the Guardians are not going to say that if MLB doesn't give them a sense that, you know, they haven't found anything yet and yet we also know that these sorts of things tend to have different layers to them so I'm not going to sit here and say the guardians are in the clear at this point I hope I hope as a baseball fan and for the sake of major league baseball that that is the case but Pat like let's be honest about this when you have micro bets that exist when you can bet on something like is this going to be a ball or is this going to be a strike you are running the risk of having a 1,200 player population that is not all going to be immune to chasing the money regardless of how much they make.

Speaker 7 And so Major League Baseball,

Speaker 7 you know, however much it works with betting integrity firms, absolutely needs to be pushing for the elimination of those sorts of bets.

Speaker 1 Okay, and are they going to check into umpires at all? Did you see this? I saw this codify. Hey, nope, ball.
Excuse me? What? That happened.

Speaker 1 Not great. Excuse me? But you just talked about micro-betting and everything like that.
It's like, I don't want to say, hey, that's obnoxious, but that is right.

Speaker 1 As somebody that doesn't really feel like.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, without a doubt. I guess he probably apologized not too long after that.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because sometimes guys miss stuff.

Speaker 1 That happens sometimes.

Speaker 7 That is what the ABS challenge system is going to be for. That's why robot umpires are necessary, period.

Speaker 1 All right. We appreciate the hell out of you.
Obviously, gombling 182 games, how many pitches, what you can do with baseball. It is ripe for the picking.
Hopefully, it doesn't continue to be a thing.

Speaker 3 Jet, can Class A still be traded or no? Like, does this affect that?

Speaker 7 I don't think anyone's going to be trading for him.

Speaker 1 I figured. How many games? How many games?

Speaker 6 162 in a season.

Speaker 1 I gave an extra 20. I wish.

Speaker 1 Yes. Well, in playoffs,

Speaker 1 baseball fan. That's it.
How many David? All right, ladies and gentlemen. Jeff Passer, thank you buddy.

Speaker 1 I've been like the condescending big baseball fan. Okay, Jay, you're part of the problem.

Speaker 9 and it comes and goes. But I just found out about a treatment option at treatmyhives.com.
Take that, chronic hives. Learn more at treatmyhives.com.

Speaker 1 It's happening all around us, and we're incredibly lucky that we get a chance to chit-chat about it from now all the way until February when the next Super Bowl was played.

Speaker 1 We will have football every single week until then. And for that, we celebrate.
Hell yeah. Come on.

Speaker 1 Now, there were spring football leagues that obviously we all watched, and Fisher Freight were doing their thing.

Speaker 1 And football is certainly going to always be great, no matter what style of football it is.

Speaker 1 But NFL football being back, and college football being right around around the corner is just a beautiful thing. You know, whenever you wake up and think to yourself, I'm just a few weeks away

Speaker 1 from a Saturday morning, 6 a.m. alarm.

Speaker 1 Wake up, a little coffee,

Speaker 1 a little scroll through the internet,

Speaker 1 walk onto a stage,

Speaker 1 a few thousand, hopefully, students behind us. and kicking off a full slate of college football.
Oh, man.

Speaker 1 What is that full slate of college football, though? Oh, Ohio State and Texas is the first.

Speaker 1 We're just a few weeks away. And that's not the only game.
No, no, no. The whole day.
Packed all the way until the 10 o'clocker.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Boom.

Speaker 1 11 o'clocker. Sorry.
We got football right around the corner. Anything about the NFL? Hall of Fame game.
Two days. No big deal.
Hall of Fame game is on Thursday. We will be there.

Speaker 1 Chargers, Lions will be. I don't know if we'll be at the game.
It's supposed to rain.

Speaker 1 So we will judge with the race. We'll be at Kent.

Speaker 1 We will be at Kent. Canton.

Speaker 1 Now, if it's just going to storm all afternoon,

Speaker 1 there's a chance

Speaker 1 we might not make it to the game. Plan is, as of this moment,

Speaker 1 tomorrow, St. Vincent College, University.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Thursday, Canton, Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 Right off the highway there. Easy to get to.

Speaker 1 Easy to get to. Right off the highway there, you can kind of see it.
Yeah. Can certainly hear it.

Speaker 1 Let's turn the gain down. Certainly could.

Speaker 1 Let's turn the gain down now. We found out this morning that we will be right next to a highway, which classic middle of America.
Yeah, that's how it works.

Speaker 1 You got to get from one place to another here. That's how it goes.
So we'll be next to the highway.

Speaker 1 But we obviously want to give everything that we possibly can to the wonderful folks at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 We'll get a chance to chit-chat with the entire class of this year in the first hour. They'll be stopping by.
I cannot wait to learn more about their story.

Speaker 1 Cannot wait to learn more about the Hall of Fame and cannot wait for the Chargers and the Lions to officially kick off NFL football for the year even though the game's going to be shite we still love the fact that football has happened the show is going to be awesome the game will probably be awesome but if i have to miss dj uyungale uh versus kyle allen because it's rain i'm going to be pissed same

Speaker 1 we'll be there we'll stay for it okay

Speaker 1 well i'll drive home you guys go ahead okay okay done deal all right so that is an option so i'm not i'm not gonna say i'm gonna go home but i do i would not feel bad now if i go home and because you will drive home we will all view it the same way right yeah Tone will have his own rental.

Speaker 1 Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So if we got to get out of there. If we have to, he's going to be all right.
Tone's okay. Can I watch this on NFL Premium Plus?

Speaker 2 It's on NBC, brother.

Speaker 1 Yes. Oh, okay.
NBC, I think, is sending, from our understanding, NBC is doing, I mean, they are.

Speaker 1 NBC is treating us like a

Speaker 1 Sunday night football.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you can definitely still watch that NFL Premium Plus Premium brought to you by NFL Premium.

Speaker 1 And who owns that? Does ESPN own it all?

Speaker 1 Does anybody know anything about that? Mentioned it to Schrager the other day, and Schrager was like,

Speaker 1 right, didn't he? Yeah, basically.

Speaker 1 That was exactly what he did. Because as I was looking at him, as I was saying, he felt like he knew more than we did about the whole situation.

Speaker 1 Because all we do is see like a tweet from some rack that's like, hey, there's a chance that ESPN is going to buy NFL network or whatever, ESPN.

Speaker 1 Is that happening? Do we know? Does anybody know if that's happening? No idea. It's like a live golf PGA situation.

Speaker 1 So because our show is licensed through ESPN and technically in ESPN World, we should get free subscription, right, to NFL Plus Premium.

Speaker 1 If that happens,

Speaker 1 we should be working for that. And we should also get something we can give out.
Yeah. Don't you think? Especially if we should be able to hand these out to people to watch.

Speaker 2 Wait a second, are you guys getting free subscriptions like Disney Plus and Istrom Plus that I'm missing out?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, good point. No, no, no.

Speaker 3 No, we are not. Paying out of pocket for those.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's worth it, though. Actually, we're sure.

Speaker 1 Worth out. Without

Speaker 1 Moana, too.

Speaker 1 Mackenzie loves seeing the lion in the sky on the moon. Sea meets the sky.

Speaker 1 Nemo. Yeah, all of it over there.
Toy story. I'm watching these Disney movies for the first time.
Dude, not bad. What's your favorite so far? Moana has really stolen the day.
I'm going to be honest.

Speaker 1 Just strictly because, you know, Big Oos is in there doing his stuff. I think he's really like Luca.

Speaker 2 I watched it last night. It's real good.

Speaker 1 Luca sucks. Luca very thin right now.
It is in Italy. It sucks.
Luca, very, very thin right now.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he is. He was on the Yankees broadcast last night.

Speaker 1 Beautiful. How was he?

Speaker 3 He was pretty good, actually. I was expecting him to not say anything.
He stayed for like two innings and was kind of just having a good time. It was pretty sweet.

Speaker 1 Saw him take a picture of Aaron Judge. Crazy how tall they both are.
Yeah. You know, that picture just makes them both look like they're like 5'11.
That is not the case. That was at a high altitude.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He had sunglasses on.

Speaker 1 Super trim. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 Like incredibly slim. Looks like he's lost 100 pounds.

Speaker 1 And I saw LeBron work. He looks unbelievable.
He looks like this, I mean, he's six foot six or whatever it is. Unbelievably tall.
How tall is Aaron Judge?

Speaker 3 Aaron Judge is like 6'8 ⁇ .

Speaker 1 So I think Luca is a little bit shorter. Yeah, Luca's like 6'6 ⁇ , 6'7, I think.
Yeah, he looks unbelievable. Is he still gonna be able to do his shit? Yes.

Speaker 1 They'll be great. Absolutely.
I don't know. I was always worried if I lost my fat, that wouldn't be able to hit the ball as far.
There's a chance that Luca wonders if he can still do his.

Speaker 1 You think he'd be moving too fast now? Yes. Well, because he was.
His thing is molasses. Like, isn't that his thing?

Speaker 1 Because everybody's going, and he's still on his second step and you're gone they'll figure it out he might have too much quick twitch luca might be too in shape is anybody else saying that oh i can't wait for them to kill him for that oh fasso lost way too much weight oh

Speaker 1 now he's getting bodied around i can't wait for the full thing luca you look great we're proud of you speaking of looking great ladies and gentlemen joining us now is a man that's going through a midlife crisis with his hair and we think everything else he's a college football national champion super bowl champion rider cup winner ladies and gentlemen aj hawker AJ, I just want to let you know, four people independently texted me last night.

Speaker 1 Okay, different parts of country.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 1 All of them said the same thing, different phrasing, different errors. These people all came from, different ones.
So the way they said things was certainly different. They said that it is very much

Speaker 1 a yarmulke on top of your head.

Speaker 1 That is. That's basically what everybody has said.

Speaker 1 Four different parts parts of the country. And then you could add in, my wife, she didn't text me obviously.
She should have told me. Is AJ wearing one of those

Speaker 1 Jewish,

Speaker 1 I say, Yarmulka? She goes, Is he wearing one of those? It looks like he's wearing, yeah, looks like he's wearing a yarmulke. And I go, You're not the only person I said.
I showed the text.

Speaker 1 This guy's in California at training camp. This guy's on the East Coast at training camp.
Wow. This guy's in Florida at training camp.
And this guy lives in Arizona. Now he's color commentary.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 everybody's saying it. I just want to let you know.
I don't know if it's a lighting. I think it might be.
be. And also,

Speaker 1 Shalombra. Shalombra.
Okay, yeah.

Speaker 6 I mean, it is not a Yarmuka. I do understand.
I'm trying to grow the sides out, and that's it's going to be weird for a long time. I would just imagine right now.

Speaker 6 I don't have any plans, but I am trying to grow the sides out. The top, who knows? Like, that's the thing.
Like, tell those people I appreciate them consuming the product.

Speaker 6 Thank you very much for watching.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah. Hey,

Speaker 1 anything to start a little attention? I like that. Keep doing the Yarmuka haircut.
Keep doing it. I will.
That's good for the program.

Speaker 6 It is.

Speaker 6 There's no plans in sight. So, yeah, we're sticking with whatever we're doing.

Speaker 1 It's got the people buzzing. I'm excited for the end result.

Speaker 1 No one knows what it's going to be, but I'm not sure. Nobody knows the end result.
I don't either. We saw it yesterday.
We know what the end result is.

Speaker 1 I'm very excited. Yeah, we've grew up with like 50 people that all had this ratty

Speaker 1 great flow of hair. That's where you're headed, AJ? Do you want a little axle know that daddy can still let the hair flow? Is that what we're doing?

Speaker 6 I don't think that's in the plan, but like I said, there is no plan, so who knows? I never say no.

Speaker 1 So for now, we do the Yarmuka yarmica until we get this. This is what we're looking for.
Ooh, that's perfect.

Speaker 6 It's not that long there either.

Speaker 1 The thing that I love about it is you clearly never got it like layered, never got it like trimmed, never got it.

Speaker 6 I turned it

Speaker 6 myself sometimes too. Yeah, like I didn't have any professional help, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's just one length of shit just all sitting there like a waterfall.

Speaker 1 I learned after I cut my hair because same thing. My hair was just all the same length.
Like you needed to cut, like we're trying to tell you. Yeah.
Like, hey,

Speaker 1 they they can cut this to make it not look like it is just a, you know, so maybe you do that. Yeah, maybe, maybe.
JC was here. Huh? JC.
He wasn't.

Speaker 1 I almost sat down and then I was like, you know what?

Speaker 1 I don't feel it in my bones today, you know, to get rid of the hair just yet. Sometimes you got to feel it.
You got to feel it. Yeah.
AJ, wherever you go with your hair, know that we will support you.

Speaker 1 Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man that we have supported since the beginning. Back whenever he was wearing a headset in the booth.
That's right.

Speaker 1 Remember? Even further back. you can go all the way back to when he's a scout for New England.
You spore the shit out of him. Amen.
Hey, they got this Italian guy, huge brain. Big brain.

Speaker 1 All these do-your-job documentaries, they got this fucking Pisan walking in. Like, this guy's, this guy's a guy.
He supported me, threw it my pro day.

Speaker 1 Wow,

Speaker 1 boom, yeah, him and Bill B. So he was working whenever we came out of college.
Yep. Yeah, I don't think he put me on any list.

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, the general manager of the Houston Texans, Paisano Nicisario.

Speaker 1 Unbelievable. I come really far, dude.

Speaker 10 All true, all true. Did DB's workout? And back in the day, I had a horrible haircut.
I know you guys were just talking about haircuts, but I had a horrible haircut.

Speaker 1 So I've kind of cleaned it up a little bit.

Speaker 10 So it was kind of long, kind of puffy. So I try to get it cut once a week.
So I can't stand.

Speaker 10 Like I just showed AJ's picture. I've never had hair like that.
So it wasn't quite that long.

Speaker 1 I talked about you win a Super Bowl. Why don't you go ahead and do that? Why don't you go ahead and let that thing just kind of flow there?

Speaker 1 All the most important photos of your life, just terrible, long, disgusting hair. I think you should sign up for that.

Speaker 10 I think you should think about that. No, I cut my hair once.
I was going bald.

Speaker 10 I cut my own hair. So actually, one summer I was cutting my hair, the attachment fell off.
So

Speaker 10 I didn't have a choice.

Speaker 1 So I just shit.

Speaker 1 All right. And that man is now a general manager in the NFL.
And he

Speaker 1 will cut his own hair so he doesn't have to pay somebody else to do it.

Speaker 1 He's been a great businessman, seemingly, since jump there in Houston. Feels like you had a massive offseason.
Let go of a couple studs, brought in some new folks, traded out of the first round.

Speaker 1 Feels like you've been very active, but nobody's been talking about it. How do you feel about your offseason?

Speaker 1 And how do you feel about being completely under the radar yet again, like it was a couple years ago almost?

Speaker 10 Yeah, no, I appreciate you saying that. We feel like we've made some progress here in the offseason.
I think when you look at the entire AFC South, quite frankly, they've all improved.

Speaker 10 Jacksonville's improved. Tennessee's improved.
Indianapolis has improved. Thank you.
They just extended Raymond there, you know, yesterday or whatever it was.

Speaker 10 So, I mean, I think the off-season, the one thing that's consistent or one thing that is constant is change. So, we understand there's going to be turnover with our roster each year.

Speaker 10 So, what we try to do is just kind of take inventory of where we are, try to make good, smart decisions, bring people in that we feel fit our program on a lot of different levels, both personally and then on the field as well.

Speaker 10 And this is what training camp is about: to try to sort through what we have on the roster, create some competition, try to create as much depth as possible to to at least give ourselves an opportunity each week to be competitive with the rest of the teams, not only in AFC South, but the rest of the AFC as well.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about C.J. Stroud a little bit.
Obviously, his rookie season is record-breaking and then injuries everywhere, I think, around the team.

Speaker 1 You guys would obviously not make any excuses, but sophomore season, not as great or prolific as obviously the magical rookie season. What do you expect from him?

Speaker 1 What did you see from him in the offseason? If I recall, everything C.J. Stroud has ever done is like perfect for being the starting quarterback for for an NFL team.
Has that continued this offseason?

Speaker 1 What have you seen at him from early in camp?

Speaker 10 Yeah, no, he's had a good offseason. I think he's had a good, I would say, spring of work.
He's very committed. Kind of started his offseason February, March.

Speaker 10 He was around here, and then he did some throwing sessions over the summer. I think the big thing that we're trying to focus on as a team is just consistency.

Speaker 10 When you look back at last season, you know, it started well five and one, and then we were just kind of up and down. And, you know, offensively, it was probably microcosm for the rest of the team.

Speaker 10 So I think the big thing is just trying to make improvement, trying to work on one or two things that you feel are going to make you a better football player. CJ has worked really hard.

Speaker 10 He's gained a lot of strength. He's gained a lot of lower body strength.

Speaker 10 And I think the big thing with the transition offensively is just trying to get an understanding of what we're trying to do on a day-to-day basis. So that's where we are.
And he's embraced that.

Speaker 10 So we've had some change. But I think we're just trying to...
work collectively to try to get to a point where everybody's comfortable so that we're ready to go that first Sunday against the Rams.

Speaker 1 I think you're always going to be ready down there, especially with D'Amico as head coach. Your defense just punishes people seemingly every preseason.

Speaker 1 This is just what we see as a defense flying around. CJ Stroud being a guy, the moves you made on offense, how your defense is seemingly always going to be.
Houston Texans way too good. Go ahead, AJ.

Speaker 1 Need to be worse down there. Go ahead, AJ.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Nick, speaking of CJs, I know you guys brought in C.J. Gardner-Johnson, obviously on the back end there for your defense.
Can you talk a little bit about what he brings to the defense?

Speaker 6 We know like the competitive atmosphere that is always around this dude and how he competes and goes after the ball.

Speaker 6 Like, what does he mean to that defense and what's he going to bring really to that team?

Speaker 10 No, you articulated it very well, AJ. I mean, you've seen that in the spring work and then here in training camp.
CJ is a very instinctive, very aware football player.

Speaker 10 Like you don't have that much production on the ball without having a good understanding of not only your scheme, but what the offense is trying to do as well.

Speaker 10 The ball seems to find him, but that means you put yourself in a position to make plays. So he's had a good attitude.
He's had good energy. Honestly, he's kind of blended with the rest of the group.

Speaker 10 You know, we feel that's a pretty decent group back there in the secondary. We've got a number of good young players, and then CJ brings a certain level of experience to that group.

Speaker 10 So excited to work with him, but he's had a good attitude. He's an excitable guy.
He's a fun guy to be around.

Speaker 10 He loves football. He loves to compete.
And you see that on the field on a day-to-day basis.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and he'll get four or five people this year to throw punch 15 yards and make this thing second and 25, which, hey, if he's on your team, which I think your team loves those types of players, that's a good culture.

Speaker 1 I think he fits perfectly with you guys.

Speaker 1 You know, you talked about your back end as a whole, not just CJ GJ. One of your guys actually made it into Darius Butler's sophomore superstar.
Wow.

Speaker 1 Everything, DB, sophomore superstars group here is a loaded class. You know, top 100 across the board.
Go ahead, D. Boy.
Absolutely. AJ just asked you about bringing in CJ GJ, but you got some studs.

Speaker 1 They're already Petrie, Stingley, Pay Stingley, who I think is one of the top, you know, probably two corners in the league and some other weapons.

Speaker 1 How have they geled as a group so far early early in this camp?

Speaker 10 Yeah, by the way, DB, that's a really good list you have there. Those are all good football players.

Speaker 1 Hey, that's what you saw when you were throwing out his Proday. That type of stuff.

Speaker 10 You know what you're talking about. But as far as our group, it's an interesting group.
They're highly, highly competitive. They're very, very salty, and they really don't say a lot.

Speaker 10 They just kind of show up and work. Petrie's that way.
Lasseter is that way for sure.

Speaker 10 I don't think Stingley has said, you know, 15 words since he's been here as a rookie, but they kind of let their play do the talking, which you like to see. Bullock is kind of the same way.

Speaker 10 And Bullock's got a little bit of personality, but they're all kind of younger players. And when you add CD to that mix,

Speaker 10 it's just kind of an interesting group that we've kind of pieced together.

Speaker 10 You know, Jimmy Ward is still on the team and on the roster, has a lot of experience. Jimmy's hurt right now.
I know he's dealing with a situation personally as well. But it's a pretty good blend.

Speaker 10 of some younger players that we feel continue to ascend and then some experienced players.

Speaker 10 So ultimately, the big thing defensively is just trying to take the ball away, trying to prevent big plays, and then just getting the ball with reckless abandon because that's what D'Amico preached to the defense.

Speaker 10 And we have a lot of guys that fit that profile.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it feels like you should get good in the back end because I don't know if you're seeing the clips coming out of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you're seeing them, Nick.

Speaker 1 Nick's not a believer. He's the guy.
He's become the guy, it appears, that we all thought he could potentially be. Do you watch what's happening in other training camps like I do?

Speaker 1 Like, we're watching these highlights just like going, like, we are, it's a problem. I don't think it's a healthy thing.
We're seeing highlights, not only Colts and

Speaker 1 Nick, look out for that down there in Lad High South, down there in Houston. Okay, you need to watch out for that.
But do you watch what's going on in other camps right now?

Speaker 1 Because obviously, there's going to be a lot of turnover from other, like, how do you balance that during training camp?

Speaker 10 For sure, you're kind of looking at everything.

Speaker 10 I mean, we don't necessarily get to see what's going on in training camp like i said like i talked about a little bit earlier like the whole afc south has improved so i think what we have to do is kind of focus on our team our improvement try to get a good foundation in place and then get ourselves ready to go for those opponents when it's appropriate but have a lot of respect for the teams in our division um not surprising anthony's playing well anthony is a very talented player but we have i would say we're reading what's going on so you kind of have a lay of the land of maybe what players are doing well, what players are standing out, what players potentially could be available.

Speaker 10 But as far as video and that, we're not going to really see anything until the preseason games start. And then

Speaker 10 you're seeing it a little more on a personnel basis, not so much schematically.

Speaker 10 But like I said, we have to focus on our improvement because we understand the challenges that are in front of us in our division. And like I said earlier, every team has gotten better.

Speaker 10 So this league is about showing up each week, being consistent and having respect for your opponent. That's the way we approach it.

Speaker 10 And then try to focus on the Texans and just being the best version of ourselves on a week-to-week basis.

Speaker 1 I'll start texting you the clips of Coltscape.

Speaker 1 You need to get eyes on these at night when you're sleeping. So you know.
No, no, no, no, text me too.

Speaker 1 Oh, he doesn't need to. No, no, no, no.
I kind of want him to see, so he has nightmares of the believe ours. He's kind of running all over.
You know, I kind of want it. Never mind.

Speaker 1 You got enough to worry about. I don't need to add to it.

Speaker 10 We know they have good players. We're certainly aware.
There's no question.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Okay.
Nice. So do you.

Speaker 1 A lot of them. You change over a very important position.
We obviously have A.Q. Shipley on our show every single week.
He's now the Keller commentator for the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 1 Don't know if you guys play him. I'm sure he'll have great things to say about you.

Speaker 1 He is really pointing out the fact that the teams that win are the teams that have great offensive lines. We've tried to showcase that because we think offensive line is the most important position.

Speaker 1 You guys have done a lot. Go ahead, Tone.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Nick, whether it was fair or not, last year, the offensive line you guys had last year took a lot of heat and there was a big overhaul of the offensive line coming into this season.

Speaker 2 How do you feel about your new offensive line? And then how hard was it to trade Laramie Tonzo, who's kind of been the cornerstone of that offensive line for so many years?

Speaker 10 Yeah, great question on a lot of different levels. I would say, relative to Laramie, Laramie's a really good football player, did a lot for this organization for a number of years.

Speaker 10 Anytime you make difficult decisions like that, it's never easy. You try to have conversations and in the end, do what you feel makes the most sense for your football team.

Speaker 10 You know, any decision that you make, we understand that there's probably going to be a lot that comes along with it.

Speaker 10 But relative to our group, I have a lot of players with varying levels of experience, a number of veteran players like Cam Robinson and Lake and Tomlinson, combined with a number of younger players in drafted ursury in a second round.

Speaker 10 Jared Patterson's done a good job for us. Titus Hauer has kind of been the most experienced player here.
So we feel like we've created a decent amount of competition there.

Speaker 10 And you mentioned it and D'Amico talks about it all the time. Like this league, everything starts with the front, the offensive and defensive line.

Speaker 10 And really, it's about how you play as a unit, specifically on the offensive line.

Speaker 10 So you need all five guys moving in the right direction, communicating the right way, making sure that you get the blockers disseminated appropriately. So it's going to take a lot of work.

Speaker 10 We have a new offensive line coach as well. So everybody's kind of starting from ground level, but we're going to be as good as a team as our fronts are.

Speaker 10 So on the offensive and defensive lines, when you look across the league, ultimately, that's where games are won and lost in addition to taking care of the football and being sound situationally.

Speaker 10 So we'll try to focus on that and we'll try to put the best five out there and give ourselves the best chance to win.

Speaker 1 Obviously, they have to have the ability, but any five could become the five. You know, like it is crazy how offensive lines can kind of piece together.
Don't you agree?

Speaker 10 No, no, there's no question. I've been a part of a lot of different shapes and sizes.
And I would just say, like, looking at AQ, like, I mean, the guy had an unbelievable career, 12-year career.

Speaker 10 And the reason that he lasted in this league as long as he did, because he was smart as hell and he was tough as hell, and he had enough physical ability to go along with it, and he was able to maximize it.

Speaker 10 And when you look at offensive line play, it's really just about mitigating the disaster play and just making sure that you're sound.

Speaker 10 So it's just so that the defensive front doesn't have a direct line to the quarterback on the inside part of the pocket or a straight line off the edge where you don't get a hand on him.

Speaker 1 He had 29 and 7 eighths inch arms. Is he the only guy that you've heard of in offensive line under 30 inches that has made it? Super Bowl champion?

Speaker 10 I'm sure if like you ask all the analytic gurus, he probably shouldn't have even made his root training camp.

Speaker 1 He was called that. The guy won the Remington and then he didn't get drafted until after me.
Exactly.

Speaker 10 And he lasts 12 years. I mean, I would say another player, you know, we had Shaq Mason, had him here in Houston last year, had him in New England as well.

Speaker 10 He was 6'1, 305 pounds, and the guy started at guard for 10 10 years. You know, so I think sometimes these measurables are a little bit overrated,

Speaker 10 but you can't put a lot of stuff.

Speaker 10 Sometimes a guy's toughness, his competitiveness, his just overall like work on a day-to-day basis, I mean, it carries a lot of weight and you see it across the league, not only our team, but other teams as well.

Speaker 1 No, I think...

Speaker 1 Finding out who's a dog and isn't is an easy job. That's why it's so simple to put together a good team.
Not a doubt. That's why every team's just anti-it's so easy to just figure it out.

Speaker 1 Dealing with humans. Yeah, 53 of them.
Hoping they'll all show up and get along.

Speaker 1 That's not an easy feat. That's a psychology,

Speaker 1 sociology test.

Speaker 10 I mean, there is a lot of people. There's so much that goes into it.
Oh, there's so much that goes into it. Real.
That's real. Honestly, this time of year, you're managing 90 players.

Speaker 10 So understand you have a lot of people in your building. Different personalities.
You're going to go from 90 to 53. Then you're going to have 16 on the practice quad.

Speaker 10 So you have, I would say, 70 different personalities in your building at once.

Speaker 10 And not everybody's the same, but part of our responsibility is to get the right people with the right mindset and the right mentality, just moving in the right direction.

Speaker 10 And if you get enough of those people, in the end, it's going to come down to how well you execute on Sundays.

Speaker 1 Are you,

Speaker 1 they say copycat league. You know, that's kind of what every league is, I think.

Speaker 1 The NBA, the NHL,

Speaker 1 the NFL, and MLB. Yep, well said.

Speaker 1 All copycat leagues. You guys see the Eagles win.
We all see the Eagles win. They ran the ball more than they threw the ball by hundreds.

Speaker 1 Saquon Barkley, obviously, the thing, offensive line, D line, four first rounders. Everybody's able to go.
You see that and say, hey, this is where the league's heading.

Speaker 1 Does that change anything as opposed to maybe the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl? Like, how does that affect you as another team in the NFL?

Speaker 10 No, it's really interesting. I think there's a cyclical nature to our league,

Speaker 10 whether it's defensive front structure or offensive personnel. We went through that experience at different points in New England.
We were an 11 personnel team. Then we were a 12 personnel team.

Speaker 10 Teams are using a little bit more 21, but even when you watch Philadelphia play, they're an 11 personnel team, but they can run the football as effectively as anybody with opened up formation.

Speaker 10 So a big part of that is they have a really good offensive line, as you mentioned, and really they have one of the best players in the league in Saquon.

Speaker 10 But what you have to do is figure out what do you have on your team? What do those players do well? And then kind of where are the opportunities on the margins to make some improvements.

Speaker 10 But in the end, this league comes down to situational execution, taking care of the football. And at some point, you're probably going to have to get a yard in critical situations.

Speaker 10 So if you can run the ball or stop that play, then you're probably going to have an opportunity. But the league is very cyclical.
And to your point, Pat, it's not you just copy what another team does.

Speaker 10 You have to figure out what works. But we've got a lot of smart people in this league, and everybody's studying what everybody else is doing to try to figure out.

Speaker 10 Can we incorporate that into our system?

Speaker 10 Or maybe if something else we can try. So in the end, you have to do what's best for your players and your team within the structure of what you have.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you saw it. You say you're going to need a yard at some point.

Speaker 1 Shane Gillis created the tush push. Is that what we're saying? Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, is that where we are on that?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think I saw it on the Espy. I think it was

Speaker 1 on the Espys. Yeah, I think it was.
I think, so maybe you call him. Yeah, he's down there in Austin, right? I don't know how far that is from Houston.
Quick.

Speaker 1 He could probably come up with a yard play for you guys. Came up for one for you.

Speaker 10 Maybe we could put him on a whiteboard. Yeah, maybe he can give us a play to get us a yard.

Speaker 1 Former D1 offensive lineman.

Speaker 1 People forget that about him. Hey, Marine.

Speaker 1 No. Excuse me, Army.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Let's move along.
True story. Let's talk about putting a team together.
Let's talk about putting a team together. Go ahead, Con Man.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Nick, every year you seem to kind of support CJ more with wide receivers, or CJ Stroud, excuse me.

Speaker 1 First year, you bring in Dalton Schultz kind of as his vet in there, already having Nico Collins. Last year, it was Diggs.
This year, it's Christian Kirk.

Speaker 1 You're the only guy who seems to check Schefters' notifications when someone gets released and then reach out to that team and just trade for them. I don't know why.

Speaker 1 That is your move. Don't know why no one else does it.
You did it with Joe Mixon last year. Now you did it with Christian Kirk.
Great player.

Speaker 1 What is kind of the strategy in doing that? And then what's the strategy in bringing in three or having three Iowa State Cyclones on your roster?

Speaker 1 Because we're GoHawks and those guys typically don't pan out. Well, Tyree Saliburt is an Olympic gold medalist.
And if Brock Purdy, just a different sport. Yeah, no, no.

Speaker 1 Brock Purdy, Brock Purdy, he's one of one. He's Mr.
Relevant, man. No one can do that.
What are you talking about? Campbell, the guy's won more games than anybody in the history program.

Speaker 10 Yeah, Matt runs a really good program. Meantime,

Speaker 10 I have a lot of respect for Coach Bernance and

Speaker 10 the longest tenured coach

Speaker 10 in college.

Speaker 10 So I have a lot of respect for his program. But specifically to your initial question.

Speaker 10 Really, you're just looking for opportunities to add players through your team, and there's no straight line A to B.

Speaker 10 So if a player gets released, if he makes it to the waiver wire, then he's going to terminate and then he essentially becomes a free agent.

Speaker 10 And there's going to be competition for that player's services potentially. So you get involved in that.
Or if you feel that's a player that you want to be able to

Speaker 10 gain his services and if you have to make a move and give up draft compensation, that that's a choice that you have to make. So we've done that a few times here in Houston.

Speaker 10 We did it back in the day in New England as well. We did it with Jason McCordy, something very similar.

Speaker 10 So it's really just about trying to take advantage of your opportunities and make decisions that you feel make the most sense.

Speaker 10 As it pertains to the number of cyclones that we have on the team, yes, we do have three.

Speaker 10 I don't think we went into the draft with the intent to draft two players from the same program, but they were Jaden and Jalen were both really good football players with the right mindset, the right makeup.

Speaker 10 They kind of complement one another. So, our job is to bring as many good football players and people in the building as possible and then let the competition sort itself out.

Speaker 1 How many Hawkeyes you got? Not enough.

Speaker 10 We have Luke Lachey. We took Luke in the seventh round this year.
I think he's the only one. I have to check with Omar on that.
But yeah, so,

Speaker 10 but yeah,

Speaker 10 we've had Hawks. We've had Cyclones.

Speaker 10 Have we had any Mountaineers? We'll have to do that. We got enough Buckeyes.
So we're trying to run the gamut here. We have any Huskies.
I don't think we have any U.S.

Speaker 1 There is no reason. There is no reason to do what you just do right now.
The Huskies are coming.

Speaker 1 Well, I don't know if the Huskies are ever going to come anywhere, but

Speaker 1 I'm sure they will.

Speaker 1 I'm sure at some point you guys come somewhere, basketball and everything like that. Don't relax.

Speaker 1 Mountaineers, though, everything that you're about, from what I'm hearing, Rich Rodriguez is about to create some boys for that team down there.

Speaker 1 Might as well let you know that. We got some Mountaineers that are ready to run.
I don't know if it's going to be this year. Okay?

Speaker 2 Sure. Be tough.

Speaker 1 Trust. It's like a hundred

Speaker 1 this year, though. Like 100 players.

Speaker 10 The mountaineers are ready to go. Rich Rod will get them back.

Speaker 1 Rich Rod, right? He knows. This is a gentleman.
How many wins? Was that 10 wins?

Speaker 1 Shut up, AJ. You guys going to beat Texas week one or not? Okay, let's just talk about that.
Let's just talk about that real quick. All right.

Speaker 1 Don't you worry about what Rich Rod's doing in the hills of West Plain right now. Okay, we're building dogs, ready to become Texans.
But if not, they're going to be Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 1 You don't want to see them in your nightmares, brother. Speaking of nightmares, we know how much you love the American one.
Yep. And we know how much you love WWE.

Speaker 1 You're in a middle training camp right now. You're obviously focused on a lot of things, but there is a huge change to the wrestling world that's happening.
Go ahead, Ty.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Nick, obviously, you're up to your eyeballs right now in football stuff, as you should be.

Speaker 3 But I hope, or, you know, maybe you're not, but if you're not going to I think you should cut a little slice out every night to check out WWE Unreal on Netflix as a big-time mark just curious are you excited to see how the sausage gets made in the WWE are you like it is very much by the way exactly you haven't seen it I've only seen clips I haven't watched it yet everything is not is nothing sacred that's kind of where I where I stand

Speaker 3 I don't want to kill Kay Faye but again knowing you're a big American nightmare guy we saw in the preview him and and Kevin Owens kind of, you know, discussing their match from the Royal Rumble.

Speaker 3 So is that something to kind of get away from football at night you'll maybe sit down and kind of tune into?

Speaker 10 It's funny you bring that up. At some point, I probably will take a peek at that.

Speaker 10 Real quick, actually, when I got home last night, I saw the tail end of Raw on Netflix. And then I actually happened to listen.
I was at a conference in March.

Speaker 10 Triple H was there with one of the executives from Netflix. And essentially, they were talking about the transition

Speaker 10 USA or the network to Netflix and the reach. And it was really interesting kind of hearing their perspective.

Speaker 10 I did see CM Punk's monologue last night. Of course, he did a really good job.

Speaker 1 Promo. Promo.
Speak the words.

Speaker 10 And they previewed the card here this weekend. So, yeah, I mean, the fact that it's Cena's last SummerSlam match.
All right. I mean,

Speaker 1 how do we think this is going to go?

Speaker 10 We'll see.

Speaker 1 We'll see. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 1 He might lose, brother. This could be all over.
You never know. The Ronas Cena, the last time is now.
Maybe the last time him being a champ is now, too. Never know.
Just a few days out.

Speaker 1 Roman got his J stolen from him last night. Crazy.
No way. From Brunson Reed, right off his feet.

Speaker 1 Big Brunson Reed? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the tsunami's back, baby. It certainly is.

Speaker 10 Bronson's a bad man.

Speaker 1 Bronson's a bad man. He is a bad man.
Broke both. He's coming off the top of a cage.
He's trying to tsunami. He tsunami both.

Speaker 1 Did he do the wheelchair gimmick? No, he's just LeBron Breaker.

Speaker 1 Should have, though.

Speaker 1 Anyways, the unreal thing, i i've seen the clips i i would like to say um because i feel like everybody in the wrestling world is giving their opinion on it i was not a big fan of this thing um i i did not enjoy the thought of it just as a wrestling fan like i enjoy watching things that happened 20 years ago like undertaker and mick foley chit-chatting after hell in a cell and seeing the clips later in the documentary love it the rock and mankind chit-chatting after that love it all the behind i think brock and undertaker's moment before they go out there, like years later, like I enjoy seeing it years later.

Speaker 1 I just didn't know how I'd feel about it. Every clip I've seen is like, this must watch.
Like this is going to, this is very, very, very good content that I assume they knew the world would love.

Speaker 1 And I think if you look at early indications, everybody's watching this shit, Nick. Everybody's watching it.

Speaker 10 Well, look, as you know, they know what they're doing. So they obviously felt like if they put this product together, like there was going to be an attraction and there was going to be interest.

Speaker 10 They wouldn't do something haphazardly, which is why the product has lasted as long as it has, and there's still the interest and the pull that there is.

Speaker 10 I mean, I was watching clips, obviously, you know, with Hulk's passing and you're looking at some of the clips and what's happened. Think about that.
I mean, he was in it for 35, 40 years. And

Speaker 10 to still have that reach and for the WWE to still have the attraction that it does, I mean, they obviously know what they're doing. So you can do nothing but tip your hat to them.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a big decision, I think, probably that was made. Hey, we're going to give this whole thing away here.

Speaker 1 But then as you're watching it, it's like, oh, people that aren't interested in wrestling are going to love this.

Speaker 3 Well, and it's also like, it's kind of for the more adult fans. Like it's TV, it's mature audiences.
So like they're not editing anything out.

Speaker 3 Like those are like actual conversations where nothing's bleeped or anything like that.

Speaker 3 So it's not like they're just like, oh, yeah, like the 10 to 14-year-old demo who watches every week, they're going to love this. Like this is for the adult fans.

Speaker 1 NFL Films did a great job with this, I think. From the clips I've seen, I think it is historic type shit.
I was like you.

Speaker 1 I was against it at first, but I think when we had Paul Heyman on and you asked him about it, his answer kind of turned me before I saw it. And then I was seeing the clips.

Speaker 1 I haven't saw and watched the full episode yet, but the clips have been banger after great. Every clip is banger.
After banger after

Speaker 1 has been great because it's breaking up.

Speaker 10 A lot of smart people in wrestling. A lot of smart people in wrestling.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 I think that's what's being showcased. Like, hey, you guys think this is all just like some knockoff bullshit.
They've never won an award, like from the mainstream. WWE has never won an Emmy.

Speaker 1 They've never won anything for anything that they've ever done because I don't think they've ever been. They've They've always been like, oh, that's wrestling.
That's wrestling.

Speaker 1 I think what Unreal is showing is like, hey, there's a lot that goes into this with some very big brains. Like these are, now, granted, are they brain surgeons?

Speaker 1 No. Certainly not.
Are they able to do, but in the wrestling world, entertainment, telling stories, controlling crowds, controlling everything? It's like, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 I think it's going to, I think it's very good. I was a non-believer.
I told them not to mic me up. I'm like, I don't know this shit.
That's what I said.

Speaker 1 As if I matter.

Speaker 1 They asked me to beat it. I'm like, nah, I'm not doing this shit.
This ain't.

Speaker 10 I look forward to watching when I get the chance for sure.

Speaker 1 For sure. Well, we can't wait to watch your team continue to bust ass through training camp.
You guys thumped down there. Feels like you guys are big-time hitters.
Mad respect.

Speaker 1 They almost like killed Jalen Noel, I'm pretty sure. I think it was Petrie.
Yeah, how do you talk about that?

Speaker 10 It was Higgins. Yeah, Higgins.
Yeah, he took a little bit of a shot today.

Speaker 1 A little bit.

Speaker 10 It was actually a clean hit.

Speaker 10 He'll talk talk about it in a team meeting here in a little bit.

Speaker 1 Hey, this happens, boys. Welcome.
That's a clean hit. That's going to happen every single time.
All right, we appreciate you, man. Thank you for making time.

Speaker 10 Appreciate you, fellas. Thanks for having us on.

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, the general manager of the Houston Texans, Nick Casario.

Speaker 1 You mentioned that Omar fella. Omar's the man.

Speaker 2 He's the guy that made that whole thing happen.

Speaker 1 Reached out to me cold last week. Hey.
Hope you're great. If you want to talk to anybody, we obviously are all back and everybody loves you.

Speaker 1 I was like, Casario, stop by. He goes, yeah, text me back the next morning.
Casari, good for Tuesday? Perfect. Easy.
Let's do it. I appreciate them.
Texans have always been good to us. Very.

Speaker 1 He's the very good. Yeah, he's awesome.
He's always so good on the program. And they're true to the kids of the South.

Speaker 6 He gets it.

Speaker 6 He understands the gig.

Speaker 6 He's a rational human. Sometimes you don't always get that with GMs.
They think like, oh, they're all consumed by the gig. He seems like a real human still.

Speaker 1 Well, him wearing the headset

Speaker 1 whenever he was up in the booth with old buddy that was chewing on his business. Easterby.
That's what I was about to say. Yep.
Easterby. Like he started with Easterby.
Now he's with Tamiko Ryans.

Speaker 1 So who was the guy?

Speaker 1 Coach Dave?

Speaker 1 Oh, Dave Coley. Chewing his tongue.
Chewing his tongue. He got a raw deal.
He got a raw deal. He did get a raw deal.
Coach Dave Coley had no shot. Placeholder for Josh McCarthy.

Speaker 1 But what we, yeah, McCow never coached.

Speaker 1 So.

Speaker 2 The boys fought for Coach Dave.

Speaker 1 That was an interesting time

Speaker 1 for the Houston Texans. And that was also his first year.
The Easter B's running shit. This guy's chewing on his tongue.
We're going to win games. Never heard of him.

Speaker 3 The owner had just died. His son took over, and they were calling him Tommy Boy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, I worry. No, yeah.

Speaker 1 The whole thing. They turned it around quickly, though.

Speaker 6 I give him even more credit when you go back and think about what this whole franchise has been through.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but how we got introduced is in the middle of that fire is happening is a general manager wearing a goddamn headset up in the booth and like wording things down. It's like, hey, bud.

Speaker 1 And no, okay, we don't need you doing that. Then he comes on the show.
And he's like, yeah, I like to be on the headset because I like to know what we need, what they're looking for, how it operates.

Speaker 1 It's like, oh, this guy's very, like, he's defending this. You don't think a general manager with a headset's a little weird?

Speaker 1 He said, there'll come a time, I think, whenever I probably won't do it, but I need to learn what our coaches are like, what our team's like. I did it in New England.
I think we were okay up there.

Speaker 1 It's like, oh, yeah. Yeah, I think you are.
I think it is A-OK.

Speaker 1 And he's done so much, so many different things in different parts of the building that, you know, him learning that, I mean, yeah, he's the guy. He's the right guy.

Speaker 1 I don't like you calling the kings of the south, though. Yeah, me neither.
Look at the banners broke up. Count them.

Speaker 2 They've won a division title in the last 10 years, right?

Speaker 1 Well, we got a little dust on her. There might be a little dust on our banners.

Speaker 1 That doesn't mean we got more of them. We do.

Speaker 1 They've taken more banners down than they've put up in the last 10 years, actually. That's true.

Speaker 1 I still don't like that that happened. Yeah, I completely forgot about it until right now.
Me too. I don't like that you think that.

Speaker 1 I don't, but I just, I remember. I wish I didn't.

Speaker 1 I didn't. That thing.
Oh, it'd be right there.

Speaker 2 Right there.

Speaker 1 Unbelievable. Wow.
Certainly.

Speaker 2 You're on that team.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Would they take down

Speaker 1 the

Speaker 1 participant banner? The shitty banner. 24.

Speaker 6 The one that said

Speaker 6 we made the AFC playoffs?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Final four banner. AFC Championship.
Championship.

Speaker 6 ANC Championship runner-up. Is that what the banner said?

Speaker 1 No, finalist.

Speaker 6 That really happened, though, like, honestly.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 They got rings. Didn't you guys get rings? Shut up.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 1 Enough.

Speaker 1 It was a tough games. It was a tough game.
It was a tough game. Tough off-season after that.
A lot of reliving of that game, too. Because who knows? Two years.
A lot of times.

Speaker 1 Brady gets suspended until 2016. They put the banner up.
Yeah. You remember that? Yes.
Tom Brady was using those balls. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a wild time to be alive. Yeah, which was proven wrong.
Also, that was a witch hunt.

Speaker 1 I'll I'll have you know.

Speaker 1 Just to make sure we're locked in on this 2015. Hey, we need to

Speaker 1 go camping here. You know, we've talked about it enough.

Speaker 1 We need to go camping.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you know this, AJ, but there's football highlights all over the place.

Speaker 1 If you're able to scroll, if you got active thumbs and you're on any social media platform, you're just seeing highlights from the NFL. We were able to gather them, weren't we?

Speaker 1 We were able to piece them together so that everybody can see all the great plays. AJ, in that beautiful underneath that yarmuka?

Speaker 1 You've been thinking, hey, I need to see all these things because I might not live on social media.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I do see a lot of them on social media, but you guys do a great job of compiling and putting them together. There's new ones every time you look, though.

Speaker 6 That's the best part about this time of year.

Speaker 1 And I will say there's new ones coming right before the show starts. And then we send them in, and Foxy's like,

Speaker 1 I got a fucking.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the entire graphics video department does not love whenever teams have practices at 11.50 and things are coming out. It's like, so it's on the internet.
Just put it on the.

Speaker 1 Well, we got to put it through a whole,

Speaker 1 yeah, do it. Yeah, put it in there.
Yeah, Foxy. Well, can I have a drink of water? No, Foxy.
Show starts at 10 minutes. Go camping.
We need up.

Speaker 1 We need Terry McLaurin and Buddy Baker talking to each other on the field. Because that tells the story.
Buddy Baker's boots on the ground. You just make it happen.

Speaker 1 Fox says, yeah, it's just as easy as that. But we appreciate everybody in the back because the practices are in the morning leading right up to our show.
And we try to gather all the highlights.

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, let's go camping, shall we? Oh, yeah. Tone Thanks, let's go camping.

Speaker 2 Let's go camping, brother. Let's start.

Speaker 1 Santa Clara.

Speaker 2 In Santa Clara with the San Francisco 49ers, Christian McCaffrey, running a little

Speaker 2 go route on number 4-6.

Speaker 1 And he looks to be helping you in, Pat. Fingertip grab.
Obviously, he flips. Wasn't touched.
Could have finished that. You know, defensive guy.
Let's put a hand on him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 When he hits the ground, of course. Probably a young guy.
Quads look gigantic. He looks explosive.
Hand up right here.

Speaker 6 Boom. Throw his hand up.
I got him. Gone.

Speaker 1 As soon as he was, hey, if he's even,

Speaker 6 he's leaving. He's leaving.

Speaker 1 And he knows that. And Christian McCaffrey still has the burst, clearly.
What a weapon to be back for the San Francisco 49ers.

Speaker 1 Everybody's talked about the Niners having a disappointing season last year. That started four days before the season started.

Speaker 1 Whenever we found out that Christian McCaffrey had Achilles tendinitis, and then that jumped from one side to the other side, and then their entire season just never really got off.

Speaker 1 Now's the time to bet on the San Francisco 49ers, I think. Seeing that, great to see CMC back in full four.
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 Now, banged up at the wide receiver position, but if you have 23 healthy along that offensive line and then they're big money quarterback, they are in a good position to succeed.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, 2-3 making plays at a beautiful sight for 49er fans. Big money tight end as well.
Obviously, George gets paid this offseason. Go ahead, Tom.

Speaker 2 Yeah, let's head to Giants' camp where we saw a full moon. We've seen a lot of full moons.

Speaker 2 That's Russ Wilson and the classic moon ball to Malik neighbors, who Strike said is having the camp of all camps in the city.

Speaker 1 And then, what? The best.

Speaker 1 What is that? Okay.

Speaker 1 i think he was uh cleaning uh the top of a table yes i think he was dusting off a table like there's a table there and he's dusting it off like that

Speaker 1 i thought he was no you what do you mean belt to egg a belt to bend your ass over yaga yada

Speaker 1 yaga that's what he was doing yeah wow i didn't know that i thought it was maybe a table yeah maybe

Speaker 1 look at that table how about the little boy in the back with the thumbs up? Love him.

Speaker 1 If we could pause on little boy, he's learned how to dust the table or make about to ask you. You know, rewind a little bit.

Speaker 1 And there he is, little boy in the blue. Loves it.
Hughes fam. Hey, thumbs up, Bub.

Speaker 1 That's good shit, Bob. We want to see more of that, bro.
Shout out to the Giants.

Speaker 1 New era.

Speaker 1 Same regime.

Speaker 1 Can they win? Malik Neighbors was being put in a conversation with Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, Malik Neighbors. Is Terry McLaurin Malik Neighbors? That's what Peter Schrager said.

Speaker 1 So that is what Giants fans are saying about Malik Neighbors. They already have him as a top three guy, top four guy.
Maybe that is the case.

Speaker 1 Maybe that happens with it, especially with a Dayball offense and Russell Wilson able to do his thing. But

Speaker 1 Terry McLaurin's been doing it for like 10 years. So we shall see.
Hopefully Malik's able to do that. Good highlight out of Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 I know Pittsburgh Steelers fans are like, that looks familiar, right? Ain't that what you guys were thinking?

Speaker 2 Listen, for six, seven weeks, he's going to give you incredible NFL football. Okay.
And then, you know, stuff happens. Let's head up to Cleveland.
We got Joe Flacco.

Speaker 1 Look like that.

Speaker 2 A little bit of an 11-on-11 drill here. Carson Swessinger, the first pick in the second round, a little rookie on rookie crime to Dylan Sampson.

Speaker 2 I don't know if this is a thud drill because it looked he would he didn't even think about rapping there. Puts Dylan Sampson on his S.

Speaker 2 AJ, what do you think about that one, Paul?

Speaker 6 I thought this is a beautiful play. Watch him scrape over the top.
And yeah, even if this isn't full stuff, also, credit to 4-3, the safety coming in. Oh, yeah.
Boxing this polling line. Look at him.

Speaker 6 him he's going down he doesn't even

Speaker 6 boxes back two yards aj and he's on the right side on right shoulder he forces that right into him that's great absolutely hey it's good fit there i think that's what people's team defense right there that's how you play to your leverage you know where your help's at and with with i mean look you all you need is a shoulder that's all i got to give you is my shoulder i'm going to knock you back right here at the line of scrimmage beautiful play i mean that's what happens you put on pads and you really start to see the guys that love ball and love contact aj how come not everybody can thump you know because there's guys that are like known thumpers is it like like

Speaker 1 is it the explosion of people? Like you obviously hard hitter, but there's some guys that are same size as you, same speed as you, for whatever reason, aren't hard hitters.

Speaker 1 Like, I don't know if this guy's MO is he's a hard hitter, but there's a chance that like he has lightning in his pads. And there's just some guys on teams that everybody gives a heads up to.

Speaker 1 Like, hey, this guy's different. This guy hits different.
What is it?

Speaker 1 I don't know that. What is it?

Speaker 6 It's a good question, though. I've never really tried to put my finger on it.
It's obviously it's a mentality. Like, first, it starts with a mentality.

Speaker 6 Some people are just like missiles, and they don't have any thoughts in their head of like repercussions.

Speaker 6 If I go run my skull directly into this polling lineman, like all they know is I'm going to try to kill this dude and do my job. And they don't think about it.

Speaker 6 Some people I think may they measure them a little bit and think, okay, I don't want to get hurt on this or, you know, I don't want to hit this guy full speed. But it's also like a leverage thing.

Speaker 6 Size doesn't matter. We see guys that are small that are monster hitters.
It's all about leverage and pad level, I feel like, coupled with the mentality. It's just, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 Some people come out of the womb like that. They are just absolute kill.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. I wonder if more guys are more explosive than others.
First guy that comes to my mind is Buddha Baker.

Speaker 1 Like, if you just saw him on the street, you wouldn't think, but he on the field is an absolute assassin. You know, Bob Sanders was a guy, but he was built like he would knock you the fuck out.

Speaker 1 And then Cam Chancellor, he's a big guy, built like so. Yeah, it is.
Eric Thomas was a huge, huge dude, but he would come down and lay that hand. So yeah, I mean, I used to watch Quint's session.

Speaker 1 North and South. Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 6 Quint.

Speaker 6 I used to watch Quint just to watch him kill people.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. That was Y2J.
Y2CJ year. Oh, CJJ.

Speaker 1 Chris Johnson or whatever. And third play, Clint session, helmet right to Chris Johnson's helmet.
I mean, it was, and that was, I had a chance to hang out with Clint a lot for a couple of years there.

Speaker 1 And he's hilarious. You need to understand that that guy is absolutely hysterical.
But like Clan is like, hey, first quarter, one of these guys got to get one, you know? And it's like,

Speaker 1 that's a weapon to have on your team because everybody on the other team is like, hey,

Speaker 1 this guy right here is

Speaker 1 we need to have hands on this guy. We cannot let him free.
And it was fun to watch him, but like, it feels like those guys, like, is this guy one of those guys?

Speaker 2 Also, I mean, he was a walk-on at UCLA. You go from a walk-on at UCLA to the first pick of the second round.
You're also a guy that knows how to practice and knows how to make splash plays to improve.

Speaker 2 You know, that's that's probably a situation there where that helps and happens too. Another guy.

Speaker 1 Great for Cleveland that that's happening. He better not touch Jerry Judy.
I know that much. Yeah, well, Jerry Judy ain't worried about that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. He ain't getting touched.
Jerry Judy just did a milk check real quick before we were even talking about that guy. Good.

Speaker 1 It's another skill. Guys that can avoid big hits.
Marvin Harrison, G.Y. Hilton, guys who can, little guys who usually

Speaker 1 Devontae, I think Devontae does a good job at it

Speaker 1 as well.

Speaker 1 AB did a great job at that. Tyreek, I think, does a good job staying out of shit.

Speaker 2 You know, another guy that does that, we're going to head down to Saints camp. And a great connection to end of the year last year,

Speaker 2 Spencer Rattler to Rasheed Shaheed, who is the the burner now for the New Orleans Saints early in this camp.

Speaker 2 We don't know who the starting quarterback is going to be, but we know Rasheed Shaheed is going to be a playmaker for the Saints team.

Speaker 1 I love a good deep ball. I also love a number 22.
Awesome. I love number 22.
Matthew Golden. He did a lot of shit last year, right?

Speaker 1 If I recall, we were doing a lot of Rashid Shaheed highlights, I think. Very early.
Great name.

Speaker 6 I could feel the humidity through this footage.

Speaker 1 Very hot. Have you seen the Tyler Shucks stuff? Because I did want to know.
He didn't throw the football. Yeah.
What happens, especially for you, D-Butt, when he won't throw the football, I guess.

Speaker 1 I just saw a three. Once again,

Speaker 1 we can't judge everything. But yeah, it's seven off.
Is this the rep right here? Yeah. There's four or five of them, I think.

Speaker 6 It's good defense, man. Watch him pass this off.
Everything off.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, we're talking shit.

Speaker 1 Throw the ball.

Speaker 1 Hold on. How about this? Gain a two, bitch.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's not a game.

Speaker 1 That is.

Speaker 1 First two downs, he goes, that's a gain of four. We got third and medium.
We're in a good spot. That's smart football.
But they have like three of these they posted.

Speaker 1 And the person that posted it was like, hey, this guy won't throw the ball, basically. And, you you know, he's a veteran, he's a little bit older, guy, he played a lot of football in college.

Speaker 1 Obviously, he's with Braum. Braum, obviously, great quarterback coach and everything like that.

Speaker 1 But it does feel like some of these young guys, uh, I'm not saying they weren't, that wasn't glue covered. I'm not saying that wasn't the case.

Speaker 1 It looked like Gary Payton was a glue bucket, you know, a bunch of islands.

Speaker 1 But I think a lot of these young quarterbacks, there is a little bit of a hesitancy to throw because you don't know, hey, that's open.

Speaker 1 You got to throw that now, you got to throw that now, which is what we're seeing from young quarterbacks, more specifically here, Tyler School. You got to let it rip, and that's what practice is for.

Speaker 1 You You know,

Speaker 1 if you throw it, because it's all about time in the NFL. You can't wait for guys to get open.
You got to throw guys open.

Speaker 1 And then another thing you learn as a quarterback in the NFL, incompletions aren't terrible. Just throw it away and line up again.
Because scrambling, that's not realistic.

Speaker 1 We're not getting better with that type of rep as a defense. Nobody offers it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, with no line, with no rush. If there's a real rush out there and you scramble and you make time, that's one thing.
But no rush, you're doing that. Throw the damn ball.

Speaker 1 Yeah, listening to the entire defense talk shit to that kid would have been fun, but I don't know if they're talking shit down in New Orleans. It's 150 degrees.
True, too hot. Kellen Moore went out.

Speaker 1 Kellen Moore went out there the first day to speak. Kelly Moore.
And

Speaker 1 it was my first time really hearing him as a head coach. And, you know, I think back to Boise State, Kellen, like,

Speaker 1 kind of same era here, young head coach, him talking to that crowd. We liked that it's hot.
We really liked that this is as hot. He said, that's the first thing he said.

Speaker 1 And I was like, ah, that sounds like a guy that did not fully prepare for how fucking hot it was. They started moving that training camp to West Virginia.
Yeah. West Virginia hot as shit.

Speaker 1 West Virginia very hot, especially in the summer. They started getting out of there for how I couldn't imagine a training camp down in Louisiana.

Speaker 1 Think about the high school kids that play down there in Louisiana. Seriously.
Like, was Arch down there?

Speaker 2 Sure was.

Speaker 1 Oh, was he? I didn't know. So he's been through a Louisiana training camp his whole life.

Speaker 1 I mean, he's in Texas already, though. So it's not as if...
I mean, Texas gets up to 120 in the summer anyways. Yeah, so he's got that just natural.
Yeah. He does.
Grit.

Speaker 1 Who do you think is going to be better this year?

Speaker 6 Between?

Speaker 1 DJ Lagway, Arch Manning.

Speaker 6 I have a hard time picking against Arch. I really do.
Me too.

Speaker 1 Now, DJ Lagway last year with Florida. Yeah.
Dog. And I did a little more research because D-Butt, I love Arch Manning.
Love him? That's what he's doing.

Speaker 1 That's what he's doing.

Speaker 1 That is what he's doing.

Speaker 1 He's waited his turn. He's been in the meetings.
He's taken practice rep. He's got a great offensive coach.
He will be surrounded by great talent.

Speaker 1 If you're asking me, just like you asked AJ that same question, this year I'm going with Lagway. All right.

Speaker 1 Listen. And I think they'll both be great, but I will pick probably Laguay this year and then a kid from South Carolina.
I think those guys will probably be the top two guys.

Speaker 1 I think Lenore Sellers is number one in everybody's eyes. I think even for the NFL next year.
But Aaron's brother, Jordan,

Speaker 1 came out from SEC Media Media Days. I think he said, like, Arch is like the sixth or seventh best quarter.
This is all overhype. And I'll, like, he really said that.
Really? Yeah, in the SEC.

Speaker 1 In the SEC. In the SEC.
And I was like, holy shit. And then D-Butt comes in.
I got Lagway over. I'm like, are we talking about the same guy right now? I don't.

Speaker 1 Hey, is a guy? Bro, Arch Heis Manning. That's how I see it happening.
That is literally how I see it taking place. But I think my,

Speaker 1 and this might be just because of my relationship relationship with the family, it's like this boy,

Speaker 1 this boy. Prince of his promise.
Just like Peyton and Eli were. You know, there's videos of Peyton and Eli whenever they're just little boys in Gatorade commercials and shit like that.

Speaker 1 Like, hey, these guys were created to be professional football players.

Speaker 1 And that's the whole thing, not just on the field and how you throw a ball and all that, how you interact with teammates, how you lead, how you show up, how you work. It was like they've been...

Speaker 1 Arch has been going to the Manning Passing Academy since he's four years old.

Speaker 1 So in my eyes, hearing Jordan Rogers say that he's going to be the sixth or seventh best quarterback in the SEC, I'm like, I don't know. Man, I didn't even think of that.

Speaker 1 I didn't even think of that. I just thought Arch is going to win national championship with Texas this year.
He's going to win the Heisman.

Speaker 1 Like, that is literally just how I view the Manning operation. He's a better athlete, too, than the other ones that we see.

Speaker 3 Well, I mean, that's like you said,

Speaker 3 the amount of talent he's going to have around him at Texas.

Speaker 1 There's going to be some wide receiver that we've never heard of that is going to run 4-1 this year somehow at Texas. And Sarkeesian's offense is all of it.

Speaker 1 And also, like, once once again, close to the situation. Have literally known Arch and seen Arch since he's like a little boy, you know, in this entire thing.

Speaker 1 He got knocked the fuck out against Ohio State. Yep.
No questions asked. Knocked out.
Up. Right back at it.

Speaker 1 He's at the cookout.

Speaker 1 You know, he's at the cookout. And then he's losing his student ID multiple times.
Playing with the boys. First week.
It's like this guy is a Manning. Like, this is literally Manning football.

Speaker 1 Blackweight battled too last year. Yeah, the boys fought for Napier last year.
I agree.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to watch.

Speaker 1 what that's why they got to play the game coming out of they were the two highest rated quarterbacks of like the last 20 years and then nusk down air and lsu yeah you know they're talking about texas also has the one diego pavia diego pavilla is obviously a dog we so i didn't but whenever aaron's brother said that jordan i was like

Speaker 1 i was literally mind-blown while i was watching it and then you came in like literally a day later i got lagway over arch i'm like am i well you asked the question

Speaker 1 am i completely he's gonna misreading this information? Well, Feinbomb said he was the greatest quarterback since. We don't need to hear that.

Speaker 2 The preseason voting as far as first team, second team, third team in the SEC went Sellers, Nussmeyer, and the Narch.

Speaker 1 Hey, first two words of that sentence. Say it again.
Fine bomb said. Never do that again on the show.

Speaker 1 Appreciate that.

Speaker 1 Let's go Camp in Arizona. We got one.
Yeah, let's go, Camp.

Speaker 2 Let's go out to Arizona. We got Buckeye on Buckeye crying one-on-ones.
We got Marvin Harrison Jr. We had neighbors on earlier.

Speaker 1 This was his 10 wide receiver draft pick from last season.

Speaker 2 He's looking buff. He's looking good.
A big second season for Marvin Harrison Jr. probably coming here.

Speaker 1 A lot of shit being talked about Marv. A lot of shit being talked about Marv because of how it went.
I think Arizona Cardinals in general have underwhelmed a lot of people.

Speaker 1 I think they're primed for a big breakout year. And also, if we're going to stay in West Coast, hey, don't be scared of the Raiders.
Listen. Don't be scared to take the Raiders.

Speaker 1 I'm saying you should be scared of the Raiders. Pete Carroll, I'll put a little pressure on the partner turners.
We're not covering Don. We're not blocking.
We're not doing the entire thing.

Speaker 1 These guys need to feel a little athleticism in their face. Let's see who's got it, who doesn't.
This dude's 100 years old.

Speaker 1 Look at him. Proper leverage, get him to the sideline.
There's a white here that's returning in about a second, and uh, he shakes the shit out of Pete Carroll.

Speaker 1 And I don't know how Pete didn't fall, right?

Speaker 1 Did not fall. Okay, that's an 80-year-old, right? How old is he? Yeah, like 70 or something.
Yeah, he's like very, yeah. How does he not fall? And then he's spinning it.
They got him spinning it.

Speaker 1 He's throwing like 30 yards. Still, Pete Carroll might be in the best shape of any 70-plus human on this earth.
He's a dog. And he's not scared to talk his shit.

Speaker 1 Hey, for 20 years, I've won 10-plus games. We're going to win here.
I believe it. I mean, the energy is immaculate.
And the Raiders could be all the way back. Don't look now.
The Raiders might not

Speaker 1 be

Speaker 1 shy. Please.

Speaker 1 All right, we continue on YouTube and everywhere else. We'll see you tomorrow.
From Pittsburgh. Goodbye.
Ah, with Latrobe.

Speaker 1 Yeah. This ain't different.
Pittsburgh Steelers. Steel is training.
Truth enough. How far is the trove

Speaker 1 Like an hour.

Speaker 2 10 20 or an hour from downtown, 45 minutes from Plum where we grew up. Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah. East Hill is where we are.
You know, because there's so many different. We'll be able to navigate traffic.

Speaker 6 Debo, you ever go to any training camps as a kid?

Speaker 1 We're not anywhere near Pittsburgh.

Speaker 6 No. No Dolphins camp or anything? No.

Speaker 1 Never.

Speaker 6 It's too hot in Florida in August to go watch a practice outside.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Really anywhere.
Yeah, right? Yeah. I'll see how it's going to be.
It's falling off, though. Absolutely not.
Yeah, Thursday is what I've been told.

Speaker 1 The rain yesterday, pretty real. Yeah, and then it got real muggy.
Yeah, and then it was greenish last night. Did you see that? The sky? Yeah.
Yeah, the sky the last two nights has been insane.

Speaker 1 Yeah, green, like tornado-y feel almost when I'm looking outside, but it's at the sunset time. So I'm like, is this sunset or is this like tornado feel? I think we had some wind.

Speaker 1 I think we had, I had a tree limb that fell out on this. It's like Indiana, though.
You can literally... Any moment can fucking

Speaker 1 and get 60, 70 mile an hour winds out of nowhere. Or you can get a full full torrential downpour out of nowhere.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's classic Midwest football right there, but it's been hot everywhere, dude. I couldn't imagine

Speaker 1 oh my god.

Speaker 6 How much hotter are the Guardian caps? The Guardian caps feel like it would make my me much hotter in my helmet because you can't breathe.

Speaker 1 The helmet can't breathe.

Speaker 6 No, like it's not. What if you had a Guardian cap and a visor? You're just living in a sauna right there.

Speaker 1 That's bad. That'd be awful.
Yeah, the visor. I know it looks cool.

Speaker 1 The happener.

Speaker 1 Did you a visor? You were a visor guy. Always.
Yeah, he looked very cool. Had to.

Speaker 1 Did you have to get used to it, D-Butt? It was weird at what?

Speaker 1 Different get used to it.

Speaker 6 I tried it for like one practice in college, and just like the angle of the lens was just weird for me to see. Yeah, obviously, and forward.

Speaker 1 Yeah, now the Oakley ones were always good. I never liked the other one.
I tried a Nike one when they first came out because I think we kind of had to, but I just stuck with Oakley.

Speaker 1 Just had to black out the O. But yeah, Oakley's never let me down.

Speaker 1 I put a visor on for a training camp practice, and it didn't reach all the way down to where where my

Speaker 1 change of helmets. Yeah, I had like a

Speaker 1 little line here.

Speaker 1 Sick.

Speaker 1 It was actually pretty distracting because the ball was going from shade

Speaker 1 to

Speaker 1 a dark visor? Yeah, a dark visor. Yeah, for sure.
For practice. Paints? Fraud, put it on.
Yeah, put it on.

Speaker 1 I need a visor today. I think it would be hilarious.
I'll walk out there with it. It was.
It was. But it was not good for my profession.
Bad day of practice. Bad man.

Speaker 1 He's doing a suit with a dark visor. You know, with that hair?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Especially with his big lug head that he has.

Speaker 6 Did you ever have guys go out and train in warm-ups in the NFL with a sweet, like mirror visor, a real dark tint, and then obviously make the poor training staff take it off and put a clear one on the game?

Speaker 1 I love you saying the poor training staff because that was like some guys

Speaker 1 go flex this and practice what? Cleats, socks, visor, and then what are you going to wear for the game? Yeah, I got to change it all for the game. It's like, well, who's doing that? Glutenstaff.

Speaker 1 they got nothing else going on right now yeah

Speaker 1 heck you changed these 10 visors because you're not allowed to wear those in the game but they looked sweet in warm-ups i think

Speaker 1 i think they need to just let any visor go yeah i think that's a that's a medical thing for like when guys are like on the field yeah exactly guys see uh so you can get obviously the medical exemption for oh that's why so like if you get knocked out they can look at your eyeballs and see if you're there yep

Speaker 6 ah we could get around that

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 We got to cut your visor off with a little scissors or something. Skill saw.

Speaker 1 Or just a blut blut. Because I think you can just stand on the bottom.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Masonry? Or if the guy's just

Speaker 6 knocked out dead unconscious, we know whether he has a visor on or not. I can kind of tell.

Speaker 1 No, it's a stinger. It's a stinger.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Ah, ooh.

Speaker 1 I gotta go out one play. Oh, man.
Full body.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Arms up in the air, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Not through.

Speaker 1 Raiders. Raiders running back.
Stinger.

Speaker 6 Try not to stumble. You can't stumble.
You got to take it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to get up. Yeah.
Take your time. Stinger.
Get on the knee. Got to get on the knee for a second.

Speaker 6 If you stumble, you got to jog it off like you're in the airport and you hit that skit.

Speaker 1 You know, that little slippery floor. You've seen that Edelman Amendola thing.
It's uh... Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Shoulders.

Speaker 1 My.

Speaker 1 Can we get a timeout? Can we get a 30? My fucking stinger. You were dead two seconds ago.
Nah.

Speaker 1 Double stinger.

Speaker 1 My arm's good. I was trying to figure out what showed him.

Speaker 1 They would have moved to the bottom. He'd go over there and they start doing it.
I'm good. I'm good.
I'm good. Yeah, it's good.
It's just cramped. Must have been a cramp.
Hydration.

Speaker 1 Need to get back out there. Yeah, that was, and that was one good teammate.
Shout out E-Wall. Shout out, E-Wall.

Speaker 1 This motherfucker's dead. We're not putting him back out there.

Speaker 1 He said he has a stinger. He's not a fucking stinger.
Guy had his eyes closed. What, 45 seconds out of it?

Speaker 1 Literally thought thought we had to get a fucking body bag for the guy. There's no idea what play we're running right now.
Diva, get your fucking ass out of here.

Speaker 1 Stinger.

Speaker 6 All right. See you later.
That still happened. Are guys still fighting through stuff like that?

Speaker 1 I hope. Yeah, I would think so.
Yeah. Definitely.
I hope. It's not good, obviously.
I mean, we're not

Speaker 1 in college. If I'm building a team,

Speaker 1 if I'm an owner, I mean, we just talked about arch right there. Literally.

Speaker 1 My team, I would like guys to

Speaker 1 say it's stingers if they get knocked out. With that being said, I would like us to have

Speaker 1 us have good eyes

Speaker 1 to make sure that that does not yeah exactly we need a couple unaffiliated neurological unaffiliated yeah you remember our coaches those unaffiliated

Speaker 1 former players he said him stinger said him stinger die go back in oh yeah coaches coaches also are supposed to do that that's the onks job to pull you off so i would like to say if i was an owner i would invest in onks okay

Speaker 1 But I would be looking for players that would be trying to lie to the onks.

Speaker 1 That is the goal. Yeah.
Patriot works. Colts got one, too.
I mean, I've never seen anyone hit their head as hard as Tyler Warren on the sideline in the Orange Bulls. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 In my life. So cold now.

Speaker 6 That was back of his head.

Speaker 1 And it was on the tarped area.

Speaker 1 A little to the

Speaker 1 left of the sideline. Yeah, he was back in the game.
I thought he was dumb for the entire game. He was back in the game two plays later.
Jackson Dart, we talked about him

Speaker 1 against Florida, right? Is that who it was? Against Florida? Clearly.

Speaker 2 Speculation, yep.

Speaker 1 Will Howard. Will Howard.
Will Howard gets knocked out right back in. Michigan, yep.
Yeah, it's Riley Leonard, actually, in that same game against Penn State. Jelly got depleted.

Speaker 1 Peanut butter and jelly came in. Yeah.
The one-minute 20-drive before the half. See,

Speaker 1 Angeli, yeah.

Speaker 3 National championship, too, Riley Leonard, after that 17-play drive. He's going puking on the sideline and just like, you know.
Yeah, so I think, yes,

Speaker 1 what we're saying is, yes, and it's still Nico Iamale off a three-helmet. He was on his third helmet.
He broke two helmets against you guys in that entire thing. That whole situation's weird.

Speaker 1 The Nico situation. Yeah.

Speaker 1 big showcase game first first week of the season saturday night 11 p.m against utah oh the utes are tough always going to be tough but it is at the rose bowl as opposed to being in front of the big mus the must the a lot of utah students say mighty must must i thought it was the biggest us i thought it was a bus or if coach wingham's gonna ride his motorcycle to leave a great ride from utah to lay oh try to hop right over there to get on the pacific yep pch there it is coast Highway.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 My wife posted a photo of us from like six years ago. We're on a bike.

Speaker 1 It was such a good time.

Speaker 1 You know, if they could take care of these fucking roads, it would be nice to get back on that motor. Yes, it would.
You know? There's people riding in Indiana, and I'm like at red lights.

Speaker 1 I'm rolling it down.

Speaker 1 So are you just looking the whole time straight down like this?

Speaker 1 Just trying to avoid these trenches that we have across the streets around here. I mean, even when Kyle Larson came in and he had a McLaren, it's like, how do you drive a car like that in Indiana?

Speaker 1 Like, it would just get ruined.

Speaker 1 How many tires did you burst on your way here? Two? Just two? Yeah. Oh, okay.
These streets have, I think everybody's gotten right. They've gotten all of us.
They've gotten me two tires.

Speaker 1 I think my.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, I've talked a lot about that.

Speaker 1 When a Tesla got one. I think when I had a Tesla, I got one.

Speaker 1 Well, who's.

Speaker 1 nobody saw you, bud? Your Bentley was just sitting in the parking lot with a flat tire for. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Docs had 12 flat tires. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He doesn't know it, though. This guy's rolling around on these rims.

Speaker 6 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. On the escalate? On the sweet escalate?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I walked outside.

Speaker 1 He's giving mid a real run. Yeah, we haven't figured.
Driving with a cube as a tire.

Speaker 1 2025. How are we still getting flat tires? Did you see the

Speaker 1 alien spray? Alien spray? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 6 No, what is that?

Speaker 1 I did not. I think you spray it in all the tires.
You're good. Good to go.
It's the new

Speaker 1 flex seal. It's the new flex seal.

Speaker 6 I do fix-a-flat in my tires all the time when they're always leaking. So, yeah, I jam it in there.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm not scared to do a little fix-a-flat. I think the alien spray is what we need to go to next.

Speaker 1 I saw a lady just spraying it into the sky to showcase the bottle. I don't know what it's sealed up, but certainly something.
It really was.

Speaker 1 I saw somebody driving a car through a pot, or maybe a no, the flex seal was the boat. The boat.
Yeah, I'm spraying the whole boat. Oh, yeah.
The screen screen. Do Do you remember that? Yeah.

Speaker 3 They'll slice the bottom out of the boat and then flexio it all back up.

Speaker 1 It feels like alien spray is coming for flexi. Without a doubt.
Oh.

Speaker 1 Look the exact same. Do they have

Speaker 2 as good as a spokesman for that?

Speaker 1 I didn't know who was doing the alien spray.

Speaker 11 Oh, it's Jim Gator.

Speaker 11 He's a big do-it-yourself Instagram influencer. He's awesome.

Speaker 1 They got Jim Gator?

Speaker 1 I've got to see this guy.

Speaker 11 Massive Florida Gator fan.

Speaker 1 He's usually decked out in blue and orange.

Speaker 6 I watch his stuff on Instagram. He's great.
He fixes everything.

Speaker 1 Told you. I didn't know he was J-M-G-A-T-O-R.

Yeah.

Speaker 1 Amen. Jim Gator.
Jim Gator, yeah.

Speaker 6 Man, I didn't know he went corporate.

Speaker 1 No, he got a deal. He created this.
It's not corporate.

Speaker 1 Look, he went through a fucking car washed me.

Speaker 1 You see that? That's what he said right now.

Speaker 1 Still holding up well. You see that? It's totally dark.

Speaker 2 That's Gator's wife.

Speaker 1 Is that a Gator fan? Yeah, it's Mrs. Gator.
Okay.

Speaker 6 I might start sealing my gutters and stuff.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. This is the new Flexo.
I just saw this yesterday, and I'll tell you what, Jim Gator sold the shit out of it.

Speaker 1 Got to wait for the time of the commercial where she's just spraying it into the sky. That's really good, I think.
Oh, my. Look at that.
There it is. There it is.
Oh, that's not. That's a screen.

Speaker 6 Oh, it's a screen. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 I didn't see the rest of that commercial got cut off there. Who's this guy? That's Gator Boy.
Yeah, one of the Gators understudies. That's a little young gator boy.
Lil Gator. That's young Gator.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's a little Gator. That's Lil Gator.
Speaking of, I think there's an out-gator hunt coming up. Is there? I think so.
Okay. See you there.
I think there. You can fill in concrete cracks, too.

Speaker 1 I don't think that's a good thing. Oh, wow.

Speaker 11 I actually didn't do that.

Speaker 6 I mean, I had a lot of flex steel. I might just get some of this, too.

Speaker 1 Is it the did they get the did they just get

Speaker 1 the patent?

Speaker 1 Patent zoo running. Gator wouldn't do that.
No, right? No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Wouldn't do that. No way.
Jim don't get that.

Speaker 6 Well, Flex Seal has tape. They have the rubber stuff.
They had flexiel.

Speaker 1 You don't think Jim Gator got tape and rubber? Not yet.

Speaker 6 Obviously, not yet. Not in this

Speaker 6 case.

Speaker 1 Jim Gator is like Jordan. You kind of just give him the ball and you tell him to go score.
You know, he's not, he doesn't have a script. He's just going there.
I think he created that alien spray.

Speaker 1 Huge chance. Yeah, back there in the Gator kitchen.
What'd you say? No, I thought he was going to put a bunch of water in that bucket after he sprayed it. He did.
That was a miss.

Speaker 1 That was a miss on his marked off. Well, he's just telling you what.
It could be. Okay.
Fucking bucket. It works again.

Speaker 1 Toss it. Yeah.
That's what he said.

Speaker 1 I believe that guy. Nick, so you follow Lagoons, dude.

Speaker 1 Lucas Lagoon. Lucas Lagoons.
Lucas Lagoons. There go.

Speaker 1 that was at the dugout in fountain square my truck pull your truck backwards there's my ex-husband beat his ass

Speaker 1 two o'clock in the afternoon two o'clock in the afternoon on a sun

Speaker 1 it was the greatest uh interaction i've ever been a part of in public. Guy pulls up in a big truck,

Speaker 1 downtown Indianapolis, one part of a huge truck. It must have been like a 350, it appeared.
You know, it had big, had diesel powered as well.

Speaker 11 A couple of custom modifications, you could tell.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you could tell. He has loved his truck.
He did have dualies, yeah, the whole thing. He pulls up.
His ex-wife, I guess, is there with another guy.

Speaker 1 And that guy has a truck, too. I guess.
Man,

Speaker 1 that fucker ain't shit compared to the truck that he had. And then the ex-wife, she was not trying to calm things down.
No, no. She didn't want the trucks to to fight.
She wanted them to fight. And

Speaker 1 what?

Speaker 2 These videos is the lady ever trying to calm it down or is she trying to insert herself at all times?

Speaker 1 Well, she's trying to fight for her current man, it appears. But at that exact moment, I don't think she was trying to fight at all.

Speaker 1 I think she was trying to get them to go ahead and scrap right there in front of all of us.

Speaker 1 Winter time. I mean, the guy got up.

Speaker 1 He had a backwards hat-on, cargoes, and flip-flops. And he was heading over to that truck to beat her ex-husband's ass.
He was ready. Now, I didn't.

Speaker 1 The ex-husband actually utilized the power he had under that hood and got out of there

Speaker 1 but he looked pissed with that truck i think there was probably a gun in there

Speaker 1 if i had to guess if he turned around right there it was probably a couple different options so i'm happy none of that took place we're just trying to enjoy espresso martini in the afternoon that was awesome i wish we could go back to that moment just to have the phones out like filming already yeah so that we could capture the whole thing i wish more things like that would happen in front of us agreed anytime i see these things on the the internet like these types of moments i'm always like what would i do it's a shooting star why can't you fucking put me in one of these you get you get different moments now better ones that require you to now build a gate

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 that's

Speaker 1 it's a great neighborhood i'm in a great neighborhood yeah

Speaker 1 but

Speaker 1 is it normal for people just to walk and drive through your driveway like just ah yeah this is our world stand in your yard just stand in your yard turn around your driveway like turn around your driveway Not just turn around.

Speaker 1 Just fucking st

Speaker 1 hey, let's hang out here. Yeah, more so like hell.
Pretty good view here. We'll take some photos of the house.
Then

Speaker 1 nice house. Holy shit.

Speaker 4 People are ballsy.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's private property.
The, you know, there's a big fucking sign at the end of the thing, but that's what I thought I was moving into. It's not.
That was Bill Gutenberg. I got a park.

Speaker 1 I run a park, I guess. Yeah.
House. People just come hang out.
Fucking ride their bikes, park them. Go out and fish off my yard.
Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 1 Any of these people get hurt. I'm getting sued for everything.
That's the other thing about fishing off the back. bat, they don't have to be in your yard to fish near your place.

Speaker 1 I mean, what was the light? You had the lights. Oh, yeah, we got night fishing the other night out in the lake, it was awesome.

Speaker 1 Just had a splunker light on, like you did when you were uh cutting your grass at midnight, yeah. And he was just

Speaker 1 spotlighting my house.

Speaker 6 Just every time he was out, he was out on a boat, or where was it?

Speaker 1 Yeah, out on a boat. Anytime he would uh lift his head up, you see, he was just spotlighting my house.
You know, 11:30 midnight, no problem. Just a spotlight coming in my windows.

Speaker 1 i'm like we're in war right now what what

Speaker 1 did i get swatted

Speaker 1 i thought i got swatted go out there nope just

Speaker 1 so i go out hey man i hope you catch everything you guys are looking for out there can you please stop putting the spotlight in my house you know dogs are going crazy got daughter sleeping uh i hope you catch everything you do whatever the fuck you need to do but if you're gonna do that can you just can you shoot to the other side of the can you get their house down yeah angle it down a little bit i think they caught a lot there's a lot of this was he was he understanding did you fire fire a few warning shots out there?

Speaker 6 They laughed.

Speaker 1 They laughed. They didn't even, obviously, didn't even think about where that light.
Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 Good people. All these people are good people.
It's just like,

Speaker 1 it's nine o'clock at night. Why are you just standing in my driveway taking photos of my house?

Speaker 1 You know, like, is that a... That's weird.
That feels like a weird.

Speaker 1 But I'm the bad guy for saying,

Speaker 1 no, you're not. I am.

Speaker 1 I am. Next time, just remember Bryce Harper.

Speaker 6 Not to any rational human, you're not.

Speaker 1 I do maybe need to take a bat out there.

Speaker 1 Take a page out of his book.

Speaker 3 Get the fuck out of my driveway.

Speaker 1 Just the whole thing. If you want to talk about salary cap.
Dude rode a bike. Okay, down this private property once again.
I cannot keep saying this enough. Private property where we are at.

Speaker 1 Long road. Down to it.
Dude rides his bike, parks it in my driveway, kickstand, right in front of my house, walks out into my field, lays a blanket down, lays a blanket down in my yard. Wow.

Speaker 1 Pops out a book, has a glass of wine, living his life.

Speaker 6 Just fucking walk. He had to think.
So he thought it was like a park?

Speaker 1 I have no idea.

Speaker 1 Either way, either way, whether he thought it was a park or he knew it was your yard.

Speaker 6 It's a problem.

Speaker 1 This guy was 55 years old, whatever it was. He was an adult.
This was not like a child.

Speaker 1 Just showed up with a had a little bag, fucking, let me go, get some wine, read a book, fucking blanket in my yard.

Speaker 1 It's impossible to think it's a park, too. Like, there's, you drive by a garage.
It's private.

Speaker 6 Like, there's a whole bunch. It's a payball gun.

Speaker 1 Well, so that's a whole nother thing. Like, I don't want to to be a bad neighbor here.

Speaker 6 Freeze them.

Speaker 1 Feels like previous owner is a little bit older. Definitely frozen if we're shooting them out there.

Speaker 1 Not going to do that. Previous owner of house, I think.

Speaker 1 Kids are older and out of the house. So I think they enjoyed potential like

Speaker 1 they probably knew them.

Speaker 6 If you know them, it's different.

Speaker 1 I don't know if they knew them, to be honest. I don't know how you know that many people that are coming through here.
So I move in, and it's like.

Speaker 1 This ain't how this goes. I got a fucking two-year-old that would like to hang out.
And also, I got a lot of people that say they want to kill me on a regular basis.

Speaker 1 I assume you're not one of the people that wants to kill me, of course.

Speaker 1 Hopefully. Are you? You're at my house at 11 o'clock at night, standing in my driveway all by yourself, taking pictures of my house.
What are you doing? Are you planning to do it? So now I'm the.

Speaker 1 It's an interesting dynamic. I will say it's an interesting dynamic in this whole world.
You know, it's an interesting thing. And lucky to do it.
Lucky to have it.

Speaker 1 I don't think people should be having picnics in my yard, though. No, probably not.
Just not.

Speaker 1 If any of them get hurt, like, that's my biggest fear. Is like, oh,

Speaker 1 this is...

Speaker 1 And you're going to... Here we go.
Now you own them. No, no, we're trespassing.
With the signs. You're off the hook for stuff like that.
Okay.

Speaker 3 I don't know if the city would be okay with it, but you could maybe set up like a sentry gun or something like that. And like at 11 o'clock, you just turn that thing on.

Speaker 3 And if somebody, you know, is trespassing out of your yard,

Speaker 1 actual. Yeah, yeah.
Like a real sentry gun. Did you ever say Congo? Mm-hmm.
No.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. They set up those sentry guns and the gorillas came at night for them.

Speaker 1 Those gorillas were in for something. I don't, I also don't want to be that neighbor.
You know, like, I'm in a... It's a...

Speaker 1 I'll tell you, my wife does not love it. I will say.
Samantha does not enjoy random people just showing up at her house, taking pictures of it, and hanging out for a while.

Speaker 1 A little bit alarming.

Speaker 1 But, you know, maybe we get used to it.

Speaker 1 Maybe. Yeah.
Maybe we just let them in the house. There you go.
Maybe we we just open a door. Yeah, we got an extra bedroom if you guys want to.

Speaker 1 Hey, we happen to live in the same zip code, I guess. So just fucking...
Come on in. Come on in.
Mine is yours.

Speaker 6 Let him read a book on the couch.

Speaker 1 And I'm sure you've

Speaker 1 not somebody that hates my fucking guts, in which there are a lot of people. Hey, Val and Chuck are great.

Speaker 1 You need an actual. A Doberman?

Speaker 6 Yeah. Get a couple of them, yeah.

Speaker 1 Shepherd.

Speaker 6 I mean, that is real.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. And they will patrol the property.
Yeah. Maybe I get one of those Shepherd wolves.
That's not a bad idea.

Speaker 6 Get a Belgian Malinois.

Speaker 1 That thing will fly out there. Have you seen the video that's been going viral about the difference between a Mal and a Shepherd? Yeah, I had both.
I've had both of them.

Speaker 1 So they have, so you haven't seen the video, though. You just happened to know that they both exist.

Speaker 6 No, I saw the video. The shepherd went around it, and the malinois said, shoot, I'm going straight.

Speaker 1 Yes, that is exactly right. There is a room full of like wheelchairs, chairs and wheels, like we have right here.
Maybe 100 of them.

Speaker 1 Somebody in the corner, in the back corner, and the shepherd like finds a path around the chairs. Very impressive to get side, boom.
And then they let this Belgian Maula, what is it? Malinois.

Speaker 1 This thing from where it's standing, jumps up, runs on top of the chairs, and just,

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 1 It was insane. It was absolutely, these are the new dogs.

Speaker 1 If any of them were going to smell COVID, it would have been the Mao, the Belgian.

Speaker 1 Not the German dogs, great dogs. German shepherds are great dogs.
But this Belgium one, I guess they're a little wired. You've owned both of them, you said?

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah. I had, yeah, I had a Belgian mountain one we got when she was two years old.
She did all that.

Speaker 6 I had great videos of her doing everything, jumping up, you know, climbing walls, biting things. It's great.

Speaker 1 They're, um,

Speaker 1 are they the dogs that did the dog sports? Remember whenever they used to do the dock jumping? You ever see those dogs? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 They don't, they can jump, but they don't, you don't really see those very often in that. Like, they're, they're military dogs.
They jump out.

Speaker 6 They're strapped to dudes jumping out of airplanes and stuff.

Speaker 1 And they have night vision goggles on.

Speaker 1 These dogs. And just landing.

Speaker 1 They're all parachute.

Speaker 1 We go this way. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's do this.
And they're just off and running. Dogs are special.
They really are. Yeah, I feel like greyhounds are usually the ones that are doing those.
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 Running, the running

Speaker 1 into the water.

Speaker 2 The jumpers. They are the sprinters.
The greyhounds are the sprinters. Yeah, greyhounds are huge.

Speaker 1 They're like the size of horses. Greyhounds are gigantic horses.

Speaker 3 Border collies, I know, are leapers like that.

Speaker 1 Pit bulls, too, right? Aren't pit bulls really good climbers? I think pit bulls have like incredible.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they always show show those videos of like they'll hang something and they'll yeah, like run off the wall and then get it like a piece of meat that's hanging down from like a you know deal.

Speaker 1 Did you send in a dog jumping?

Speaker 2 No, I found the shepherd at the mile.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is the video. Let's run this thing.
Look at this.

Speaker 1 We don't have it.

Speaker 1 Okay, there's the shepherd. Smart.

Speaker 1 Let's go ahead. I'm going to go get this piece of shit and you're mine.
That's good. Here's the maw.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 yep. yep.
Boom. Right to you.

Speaker 1 Jeez. When you talk about blinders, on.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Literally all that dog saw. What arm am I trying to get? Oh, it's right there.
Fuck.

Speaker 1 Why did George the German go around all these things? He just go right through this. I'm bust sick of it.
Yep, there we go.

Speaker 1 Good luck.

Speaker 2 Sounds like you need to get a couple of them.

Speaker 1 I do. Yep.

Speaker 1 I do need to. Be sweet.
Yeah, two of them. Mm-hmm.
Just get electric fence. I saw a video.
Also, I already have one, I think. Okay, then just get that collar on there.

Speaker 2 I saw a video of four dogs in the driveway with this dude's little daughter and some rand, not random guy, but one of their friends walks up to the driveway and all four dogs walked up to him.

Speaker 1 What's up, dude? Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah, Mackenzie's relationship with our dogs are awesome.
Yeah. And cats.
Very cool. Her and the cats get along as well.
These cats are interesting. I like cats.

Speaker 1 I like the way they operate. You ever have a cat?

Speaker 6 I had a few that were outdoor situations for a while.

Speaker 6 That's it, though. I've never, I don't know.
Cats kind of scare me, man. I'm still, I'm skittish around cats.
I never grew up with one, never been around them, no, until then.

Speaker 1 Me neither. Me neither.
Never been around cats. Teddy, the first cat I've ever been around.
Awesome. He's Garfield.
He's actually Garfield. Great cat.
Great cat. Unbelievable.

Speaker 1 Fat, huge, fat cat that just has a little pizzazz. Has a little pizzazz.
We got Nova, who is a street cat. She's awesome.
Her and Mackenzie have developed her.

Speaker 1 And then we got Sebastian, this black cat that is just like,

Speaker 1 he feels, he thinks he's a lion.

Speaker 1 And when he walks into the room, he would like attention, you know, and if he don't, he will turn his ass around and he will come back. Like he's like, excuse me, nothing is said.
Turn around. Okay.

Speaker 1 Then he'll come in, then he'll jump up on a fucking thing that's like six feet high, land on it. Hello.
And it's like, well, hello, Sebastian. How are you doing? And he rubs his head on you.

Speaker 1 It's like, good to see you. Cats are awesome.
They take care of themselves. They shit in their own area.
They piss in their own area. They got their own little water thing.

Speaker 1 They're basically the results. I respect them.

Speaker 6 I have a ton of respect for them. I just, I never, I don't know.

Speaker 6 How sharp their teeth are and how small their mouth is and their claws. I just don't, I'm never that comfortable.

Speaker 1 Some way.

Speaker 1 You never been around them?

Speaker 1 Not much, but it creeped me out a little bit.

Speaker 1 So they also, when they get like really happy, they like start

Speaker 1 rubbing their paws like this.

Speaker 1 Maybe. I've never been around like a happy cat.
All these cats are happy. They're fat as fuck.
The amount of cats. They're different states of theirselves.
Yeah, Scootsy, we have a three-legged cat.

Speaker 1 She's awesome. She's great.
That back thing's like a little rudder right.

Speaker 1 She's flying around. You give them a little cat nip, though.
It's a show. They go crazy.
They'll start middle of the night. It'll sound like we're in a goddamn jungle book.
Or what was the

Speaker 1 movie Robin Williams was in the museum? Jumanji. Jumanji.
Oh, Night at the Museum. Night at the Museum, maybe.
That is where it's like, whenever they're all running.

Speaker 1 These four cats, every once in a while, they'll sync up on what run they're going to do through the house. And it sounds like a fucking stampede is coming into the bedroom.

Speaker 1 Like they are all running together, and we we have

Speaker 1 hard floors and they are all on it and they're all striding. I mean like fucking striding out.

Speaker 1 And then one of them will have a rough stop, you know, normally Scootsie because she's three-legged, but she's in the front and they will slide right into a wall. Boom.
And then you hear a

Speaker 1 and then everybody like checks on them and then they head out to a new place. Is there like a leader amongst them?

Speaker 1 Sebastian. Sebastian's the leader.
He's the fastest. Nova, I think, is probably like the biggest dog out of all of them.
Like, Nova would attack. Street cat.
Best-looking cat, too. Nova.

Speaker 1 Nova's like a very pristine. Nova was in.

Speaker 6 Did they hang out together?

Speaker 1 All of them?

Speaker 6 Yeah, like, do they like sleep near each other and stuff?

Speaker 1 So Sebastian and Scootsie, friends. Teddy and Nova, the older ones, kind of get along.
Teddy, Teddy's not really about the shit. Teddy,

Speaker 1 you know, if he's running with him, I know he's either pissed off or they are chasing him. Like he is not really a part of the group.
But Nova was in a dumpster at a steak and shake.

Speaker 1 And my wife stopped late night at the steak and shake and just opened the door and she just jumped in and it was like, well, you're my cat now. And she would, she, we had a dog that we were

Speaker 1 when you're like watching it and going to give it away. What's it

Speaker 1 fostering like a dog? And the dog like got mad at Valerie, our dog. And Valerie got mad at her too.
I don't think Valerie liked this dog in the house.

Speaker 1 So like Valerie and this dog kind of get into it a little bit. And I have to like separate them.
And I come back, and Nova is like hair up at that dog.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, what the fuck are you going to do, Nova? She starts like circling the dog. And I'm like, oh, Nova would fuck maybe die here, but she was at least going to fight for it.

Speaker 1 So I think they have a little dog in them as well. I've been very impressed with my cat life that I've had with Sam.
I don't know how many more, you know, like we have four cats. That's a lot of cats.

Speaker 6 A couple of them are old. They go in litter.
They just know to go in the litter box. Is that how it works?

Speaker 1 Yeah, every once in a while, Teddy, though, would just drop a dump somewhere. That's Teddy.
I think you could have more than 100. He's chunked to it.

Speaker 2 Bill has 15, and he's allergic to them. He uses them as a blanket every night.
So

Speaker 1 if he uses them as a blanket, I think they're holding him down on the bed. That could be that good.
So that's a deal. 15.

Speaker 1 I mean, every week he gets a new one. It's

Speaker 1 and they're all starving.

Speaker 2 Someone's going to eat the bones.

Speaker 1 They're not all starved. And that's not what.

Speaker 1 Let's get out of here. We're in Pittsburgh tomorrow.
Come join us.

Speaker 1 Sorry, we're in a latrobe by the way. Should be fun.
Cast of a lot, I think, coming through from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cannot wait to chit-chat with him.

Speaker 1 Had some ex-players reach out to us about being on the show. Don't think we're doing that this year.
2025 training camp. Just going to be talking to a lot of the current operation.

Speaker 1 Will be great to see whoever's up there, though, for sure. Cannot wait to see everybody up there.

Speaker 2 Maybe not good news. It looks like practice right now is being potentially rained out, stormed out.
So

Speaker 1 today was first day of pads, which is normally when they do backs on backers and all of the first and and goal line stuff like that so potentially we get might get to see that tomorrow right after our show ends they're right into practice that'd be good that's a perfect setup yeah for us wow as soon as show ends we just get to go watch practice that's a pretty yes ideal ideal setup yeah then we head over to canton for the pro football hall of fame on thursday we'll be there come join us you can park right on the highway i think yeah legit you can tailgate on the highway that's right outside of it and i think you'll be able to our sets like on the exit, right?

Speaker 3 So like you're proven.

Speaker 1 You're all you're good. AJ, did you know that? I had no idea.

Speaker 1 Where. So I've been there.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 I mean, it's it's right off the highway. No question.

Speaker 1 I did not know that it was

Speaker 1 that close. I mean it is.

Speaker 1 It's 10 feet in front of where this photo is.

Speaker 1 There's a highway. So I think we will

Speaker 1 we are pumped and honored to get to go over there. I've never walked through the Hall of Fame.
Have you AJ?

Speaker 6 I've never walked through. I've been there multiple times for kids' games.
You'll see there's a ton of of turf fields over there in the back.

Speaker 6 They have tournaments, but I've never actually walked through it.

Speaker 1 I love that the Hall of Fame is like an Ohio thing. You know, it's Ohio High School plays there.
There's a bunch of kids' tournaments that's happening there.

Speaker 1 I think the people that run it are Ohio people. Like, it's like, I think great state of football, Ohio, to run the pro football Hall of Fame.
We cannot wait to get over there and experience it.

Speaker 1 Legitimately, cannot wait to experience it. I've never been in.
No, never. Me either.
Never know. We were supposed to play a game here, got canceled.

Speaker 1 I remember that.

Speaker 6 you were playing the packers and they painted the fields and it got all mushy and solid right the paint congealed wouldn't it much worse than the paint well

Speaker 1 what else it was paint and then they put a tarp over top of it and then i think they put a massive magnifying glass above it as well

Speaker 1 so that the sun would hit the magnifying glass and then it would do science and then somehow that was just on all of the paint in the entire field so it was just

Speaker 1 you know paint Then whenever they lifted it, it got air and it cooled off. So it hardened.
Sure. So that was good.
You know? How did that happen?

Speaker 5 They forgot the catalyst for sure. Happened at the shipyard all the time.
No one would say they did it wrong.

Speaker 1 What, the anti-melt catalyst?

Speaker 5 No, so the catalyst, if it's a two component paint, the catalyst is what makes it go hard. And sometimes guys would forget to put that in and that would make it stay soft.

Speaker 1 Oh, so then the heat would only melt it even more. Yeah.
And then whenever you up it and get wind on it and everything, then that's when it melts.

Speaker 5 And you would never hardens up. You would never find a painter who would admit that they didn't put the catalyst in.

Speaker 1 No, of course, because the painter is the smartest motherfucker in that particular conversation. Always.

Speaker 1 Are you a painter? You do the Hall of Fame?

Speaker 3 How many times have you done this?

Speaker 1 Exactly. Okay.
Get the fuck out of here. I know what I'm doing.
The Sod Father. Imagine them talking to the Sod Father.

Speaker 1 Hey, what happened with the...

Speaker 1 Have you ever... Shut up.
Okay? We're all in the same.

Speaker 3 I've been doing this for 70 years. How long have you been on the gig?

Speaker 2 We saw the sun.

Speaker 2 the Sod son at the all-star game.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, and they said hey, there's a little bit more to that story than maybe

Speaker 2 we literally got a hush like hey

Speaker 6 impact on the game.

Speaker 1 It had an impact sod father though did a lot of great things for football for a long time. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 People were saying that he loses his magic at the end, and then he was saying, they didn't even let me do it, though.

Speaker 1 Kind of used

Speaker 1 kind of stolen value to kind of using my name, but not really letting me do anything. And I would have done a little different.
And the other guy said, what? We did what?

Speaker 1 We did exactly what he told us to do.

Speaker 1 Which goes right back to... Yeah.
How long you been doing this?

Speaker 1 Okay. Class of 2025 for the Hall of Fame.
Gonna celebrate the shit out of them this weekend starting on Thursday night. All these guys will join us in the first hour.

Speaker 1 Congrats to Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gapes, and Sterling Sharp Gapes. Jesus.
Tonio Gates, sorry. Kent State legend.
Yes.

Speaker 1 When I went on my visit to Kent State, there was an entire shrine basically, too. So good.
That's sweet.

Speaker 1 He was so good at basketball.

Speaker 2 Pretty close to Canada. I think.

Speaker 1 So good at football. Unbelievable.
Obviously, Phillip Rivers just retired like four days ago, five days ago. Congrats to him on an incredible career.
And congrats to Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharp.

Speaker 1 He's going in. I know Shannon's been pitching for a long time for him.
He's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 First football jersey I ever had was Sterling Sharp. If he would have played

Speaker 3 his career got ended way too soon by injury, but god damn, he was good. He was so good.

Speaker 1 We've never talked to Sterling Sharp.

Speaker 1 We've never talked to Antonio Gates.

Speaker 3 No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 Or Eric Allen. Or Eric Allen.
Nope. Jared Allen will be last in the first hour because we know Jared Allen pretty good.
And congrats to Jared Allen being Hall of Famer.

Speaker 1 Certainly worthy. Will he have a horse out there? There's a lot of horses in Ohio, right?

Speaker 6 He will. Oh, I think he will definitely have a horse.

Speaker 1 He's very comfortable on that fucking horse. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You see that retirement video?

Speaker 2 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 Where he was at. I mean, it was.
I assume he does the speech from it. Yeah, that rope ranch

Speaker 1 and sack celebration wasn't gimmick. Yeah, where Lobster said, said, you're not getting me.
I'm going to rope myself. He did.
Just ran around. Yeah, he did.

Speaker 1 You think Jared Allen talks about that in his speech? I hope so. You think he says, I thank Dan Orlovsky.
Keep me relevant every single day.

Speaker 1 People understand how intimidating of a person I was on the field because they see you sprint your ass off right out of the back of that end zone every other day during the football season.

Speaker 1 Dan Orlovsky gets that tweeted to him every other day. That's crazy.
Dan Orlovsky says, I don't know if this quarterback is in the same league as these other guys. And everybody,

Speaker 1 oh, is that right, fucking Dan?

Speaker 1 What happened here? Tough spot. Every day, Dan.
Tough spot. Lost that game by two points.

Speaker 1 Oh, oh, no. Yeah, but that would have gone to overtime, and who knows what? Dad, you guys won two games out here.
So

Speaker 1 yeah, you guys lost a lot of games by a lot of points. They were really bad then.
Well, that's not quite. Yeah, Dan Orlovsky was a QB.
We know you were bad, okay, folks. What's that all about?

Speaker 1 Dano takes a lot of shots. I don't like that.
He does. And he just stands right in there.
He just stands right in there.

Speaker 5 God does talk reckless, though.

Speaker 1 Does he? He says some things.

Speaker 5 He says some things that are pretty out of pocket.

Speaker 1 I think he's like the perfect depiction of like, yeah, I have an opinion. Just says this, you know? Just in general.
Hey, you want to talk? Yeah, I have an opinion.

Speaker 1 Hey, you might not know a lot about this particular situation. You want to? Yeah.
I do. I know a bunch about it.
Dan, if Dan talks about it, Dan knows about it.

Speaker 1 I think he's done his research that has has led him to how he feels. And every once in a while, everybody's going to disagree with him.
That's why they're paying him new big bucks.

Speaker 1 That's why he got a new deal done. Exactly.
10 sub-tweets later, Dan Orlovsky back with the SBA. Big bucks, Dan.
I'm fucking pumped for Dan. What a career.
Yeah. He's good, man.
Legitimately. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm fucking pumped for him.

Speaker 6 He started just breaking down. Remember back in the day when he would just break down plays like on his phone? He'd throw himself on Twitter.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, we remember. Yeah, we remember.
Dan called him. Falling asleep in the first fucking 10 seconds of your shit.
You need to do something.

Speaker 1 He's gotten really good at that. He has.
He's very good. I would say Dan Orlovsky, very good on TV.
Right? I think we always say that. Absolutely.
Yes.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you say that about a lot of people, us included. It's like Dan's very good at TV.

Speaker 1 Whenever he sits down and they fucking throw one in there, all right, is this going to be a war with everybody? Or is this going to be like a, you know what, I didn't think of that.

Speaker 1 That's Dan Rolofsky. Yep.

Speaker 1 This guy fucking ran out of the back of the end zone.

Speaker 1 Or

Speaker 1 thank you, Dan, for saying what we're all thinking. And that's literally minute to minute, I think, for Dan Rolovsky.
That's take the take. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Show to show.

Speaker 1 Yeah, minute to minute, maybe.

Speaker 1 Because somebody else can add in something. Oh, yeah, I forgot.
And then just ruined everything. You'll see him give a little bias towards people he's friends with, though.
Sure.

Speaker 1 You don't like Arthur Smith? You don't like Arthur Smith's offense? Something. Does, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 Feels like there's something there.

Speaker 1 How's Aaron and Arthur going to get along? Two strong personalities middle of the season, I guess we'll see.

Speaker 1 That's what Dano's take was on the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, I assumed the OC job came down to Arthur and Dano.
And so he just for the Pittsburgh Steelers. For the Steelers.

Speaker 1 So, of course, he has a crush. It makes sense to me.
There's a chance that the Steelers were going to hire Dan Orlovsky as the offense coordinator.

Speaker 1 Dano feels this goes in. Dan Orlovsky's next offense coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Okay. 10 years from now.
Okay. I know head coach.

Speaker 1 This goes in. Dan Orlovsky's the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Goes Kyr, Tomlin, Orlofsky.

Speaker 1 A lot of pressure. Come on, you got this.

Speaker 1 Aww.

Speaker 1 Thank God.

Speaker 1 Tony.

Speaker 2 Oh, sorry.

Speaker 2 Thank gosh.

Speaker 11 Let's do the Colts next.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 I like what Shane Steichen's cooking. Uh-huh.
Don't you?

Speaker 6 I love it. What's this? What's this for?

Speaker 1 This is for Dan Orlofsky to be the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts 10 years from now. Okay.
10 years from now.

Speaker 1 Four Super Bowls from now.

Speaker 1 When the job opens.

Speaker 1 10, 15 years from now, after four Super Bowls by Shane Steichen and this Indianapolis Colts team, Dan Orlovsky announced as the new head coach of the Colts if this goes in. Okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit.

Speaker 1 I thought that was it.

Speaker 1 It looked good. Look good.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 All right, let's do the New England Patriots. Well, we, yes.
Brand was going to be there for 20 years. Let's be real.
Okay, so when that's over, okay. Well, okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 Coach Orlovsky. You'd say, hey, Coach O, you would actually

Speaker 1 new tattoo. Yeah.
Yeah. Coach Orlovsky.

Speaker 1 Every fudging day. Yeah.
Bingo.

Speaker 3 I said that yesterday.

Speaker 1 That's the one. We're going to show up.
Bang on the forearm. Yep.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow. Daniel Lovsky.
Danielski.

Speaker 6 Every fudging day.

Speaker 1 Uh-oh.

Speaker 1 Wow. Congrats.

Speaker 1 Yes. He's coming

Speaker 1 home to New England. Yep.
Yep.

Speaker 1 I'm going to kill myself.

Speaker 1 Why? On that note, let's get out of here. Don't say that.
Don't do that. I can't do that.
It's all what's about control is going to be 20 years from now, so I still got plenty of time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just like the MLB,

Speaker 1 just like MLB has plenty of time for this new CBA. That's right.
December. of 2026.

Speaker 5 Does Jet know that's next year?

Speaker 5 That's pretty close.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and these deals can get done early.

Speaker 1 NBA does it early damn near every time. The NHL too right, did the NHL gets the deal done early?

Speaker 1 I don't know if the NFL will ever get it done early. Do we even have somebody to negotiate one of these? No.
Is the NHL

Speaker 1 last league this year? Yeah, and it killed them. They were dead for like four or five years.
It really killed the league. And MLB had a work stoppage, right? When?

Speaker 3 Yeah, mid-90s.

Speaker 5 94, I believe. That's what he said.

Speaker 1 The 94 World Series changed because players opted out of playing or whatever. It's like they've had a work stoppage, and that kills, it kills the diehards, will be there on the other side.

Speaker 1 Like, I think the diehards will be there on the side. They'll be jaded, they'll be pissed, but they'll be there on the other side.
It's like everybody else gets just like, ah, fuck off, basically.

Speaker 1 Like, that's how people, we got billionaires and millionaires fighting each other, and they're going to take, fuck these people, is how like the majority casuals feel. That is okay.
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 That's like when the XFL guys

Speaker 1 came out,

Speaker 1 we're holding out.

Speaker 1 It's like, shut the fuck up that is literally how everybody feels i'm not that is not me speaking to you directly that is just an immediate reaction to you whenever you say that and it's like dwayne johnson probably thought the same thing yeah i mean you know he wouldn't say it but it's like the fans thought it and probably the league thought it and that thing kind of ended quickly too you know i think somebody was like hey you're the 150th best quarterback in the United States of America.

Speaker 1 That is why you were here. Let's go ahead and shut the fuck up and just be happy that we're playing football for a living.
That is what a casual person says.

Speaker 1 And i will say as somebody who is a very normal casual person i didn't watch because of that like i legitimately you guys think you lost

Speaker 1 friend of ours 30 million dollars last year and then you're going to tell him

Speaker 1 we need a little more money why don't you complete a pass why don't you look like a quarterback so we can have a league here before we worry about how much money same thing with the wmba that as soon as that comes out casuals and i'm not saying they care about casuals at all i don't think they do but let's just say they care about casuals for a second and not hate casuals that watch their league.

Speaker 1 As soon as casuals hear that, it's like, okay,

Speaker 1 well, not going to tune into this. Let's just move along.
The work stoppage thing,

Speaker 1 not good for sports fans. Like, that is just not the case.
But the players got to do what the players got to do. And I think the owners feel the exact same way.

Speaker 1 So it's just kind of like dog chasing tail situation. And you just got to hope both sides want to get a deal done.

Speaker 1 But I'll tell you what, if both of them are grabbing bats, telling each other to get the hell out of the clubhouse. I don't know, brother.
I don't know how that's going to go over there.

Speaker 3 And that's a good start, though.

Speaker 3 If guys like, you know, Bryce and Aaron Judge and, you know, Shohei, if they're the ones who are like really leading that charge, being like, fuck you guys.

Speaker 3 I mean, those are the biggest stars in the league. You know, that's why the NBA, because for the longest time, they had, like, their biggest stars were on the executive committee of the PA.

Speaker 1 How do you think the fans feel?

Speaker 3 I think it's tougher in the NFL and MLB because, like you said, like we looked.

Speaker 1 Oh, you said the MLB right there.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, in that context, and I also don't care. You know, if you want to come at me for that, you can suck my dick.
But

Speaker 1 so, you know, it's like, yeah, it's just, I don't give a shit. Sounds a little aggressive.
Well, you know.

Speaker 3 I mean, it could, I guess.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 sometimes you have to.

Speaker 3 But, like, hockey.

Speaker 3 We see those contracts. These guys are making like, the best players are making like eight to nine million dollars a year.

Speaker 3 Like, it's a little bit different in football and baseball when you see guys that have $750 million contracts.

Speaker 3 So I think even like some of the most die-hard fans are like, you guys make enough fucking money. Like make some concessions so we don't lose a season.

Speaker 3 But then you can see it from those guys' perspective. It's like a guy like Judge or Bryce Harper.
It's like, hey, I'm in the prime of my career right now.

Speaker 1 Steens. A guy like Skeens.
Steens has not hit his big deal yet.

Speaker 3 He hasn't had a big deal yet, exactly. So it's like, why the fuck? I'm putting up numbers that have never been seen before in the history of baseball.

Speaker 3 Why do I need to be the guinea pig to be like, oh, you know what?

Speaker 3 You're right. We should do a salary cap and I'll take 250 million less dollars than what I've earned and what guys two years ago were making.
Like, it just, I don't know.

Speaker 3 I don't, you don't, I don't blame those guys.

Speaker 1 It happened in the NFL whenever they changed the draft payment,

Speaker 1 but those guys weren't already in the league. This would completely

Speaker 1 shin-bash all your stars. Right.
So they're going to be the loudest.

Speaker 3 And baseball is different too because the teams have basically like ownership over these players for a long time.

Speaker 3 So guys, yeah, they get massive deals, but a lot of times like you've already put in six to

Speaker 3 seven six to seven to eight years of service time before you actually get that massive contract.

Speaker 3 And again, with bit like, look at, you know, if Judge, like luckily, he only has like a little, you know, UCL strain. He's only going to be out for 10 days.
If he has to have Tommy John,

Speaker 3 he's missing the next 18 months. Like he's missing a full season.
So it's like any day, these guys could, and then you might not be the same guy when you come back.

Speaker 1 So it's like, you need to get paid when you have that opportunity good luck to all the boys out there including um including rob manford yeah

Speaker 1 how about judd passing being like rob manford did not just exit the clubhouse yeah he fired one back and said uh

Speaker 1 what the fuck did you say to me why don't you shut the fuck up bryce look around bub this is my league I'm gonna be here longer than you. You know what?

Speaker 1 Take off all your clothes. Those are mine.
And get the fuck out of here. That would have been awesome if you would have just like knocked over a big thing of baseballs.
These are mine. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pick them up. I'm about to get just to get rid of both of them.
Yeah. That's mine.
That's mine. Goes and grabs like a hundred bats.
Yeah. Just try.
These are mine. See you later.
Just ticks them all.

Speaker 1 What a scene. And the fact that that got out immediately.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 As I was reading, I'm like, did this just happen? Yeah. Yep.
Just happened. Somebody was in there.
Holy fuck, man. You should see what just taking place.

Speaker 1 And then Jet Passenger's, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. Rob Manford, Bryce Harper.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yes. How much more information can I get?

Speaker 2 Something like this hasn't happened since the Starbucks incident at the 2025 scouting combine.

Speaker 1 No real implications on that one, though, right? Got out quick, though. Yeah, Schultz didn't drop an F-bomb, and perhaps she, like, cried and called his mom or something.

Speaker 3 No, we called NFL Security.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. No.
No, they called him.

Speaker 1 They called him, and then he said, yeah, he came up to me in Starbucks.

Speaker 1 And then everybody was painting it as Rappaport called his dad because Jordan Schultz went into his dad's place and yelled at Ian Rappaport. And Rapport said, Can we please do some journalism here?

Speaker 1 I was asked if I was accosted. I said, Yes, that's what I thought I was supposed to do because they were showing me a video of me getting yelled at by Jordan Schultz in Starbucks.

Speaker 1 And that turned into Ian Rapport's a little bait back bitch.

Speaker 2 In that situation, Jordan Schultz took his coffee. He said, Give me that coffee.
It's mine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's mine. Dad's.

Speaker 1 You're right.

Speaker 1 That's mine. Dad's.

Speaker 1 That's mine. Dad's.

Speaker 3 Dad's. Then he realized what he'd done.
He's like, shit, I gotta go do it to everyone in here.

Speaker 1 Hey,

Speaker 3 sorry.

Speaker 1 That's mine. Dad's.

Speaker 1 That's mine. Dad's.

Speaker 1 That's mine.

Speaker 2 Turn the lights off.

Speaker 1 All of it. That's mine.
Everybody out. I'm using this as an office today.

Speaker 1 It's mine.

Speaker 1 Dad's.

Speaker 1 So I need two Americanos

Speaker 1 before you leave.

Speaker 1 Make them mine, dad's

Speaker 1 machine.

Speaker 1 That's crazy. He's an NFL inside.

Speaker 1 Well, he's not. So

Speaker 1 what do you mean?

Speaker 1 Let's get out of here. He is.
He's still firing them off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What do you mean? He's firing them off. I agree.
I agree.

Speaker 1 Be your friend.

Speaker 1 What would Tim say?

Speaker 3 Tim would say, shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 That guy doesn't know fucking shit about shit.

Speaker 1 We watched talk on a

Speaker 1 zip line. Yep.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Have you seen this video of talk on a zip line this weekend? He went the Super Duper Lake fun time. Have you heard about this?

Speaker 6 Yeah. Okay.
I didn't even realize that was talk, I think, when I watched it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he put his feet off. He did the...
Yeah. Yep.

Speaker 1 Tim Robinson. A little spin when he's done.
And then at the end, he lifted his feet up and then he hit the thing. Here it is.
No, no, this isn't it.

Speaker 1 This is a different thing. This is not the zip line.
Now, after the zip line, he did see an elevated surface that he said, uh, yeah, I think I should jump off of there. 30 feet, you can jump off this.

Speaker 1 It's not a pier, it's like a little bit of a deck. You'll see him here in a second.
He'll come into the frame and he'll break his back.

Speaker 1 Oh, Jesus. Why did you angle your back and head towards the water? He's an athlete.
He said, Uh, he's scared. He was trying to stop it.
Yeah, he's got bruising. Entire

Speaker 1 ass, hamstring, and lower back. That's pretty high up, too, man.

Speaker 1 As it turns out, nobody else jumped off of that the rest of the day.

Speaker 1 So everybody saw Talk beat up water there, and in turn, Water beat him up and said, All right, we're not doing a 30-footer today. What a choice.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the decisions that were made there by Talk, he said,

Speaker 1 I shouldn't have looked before I jumped. It was like, well, if you don't look, you don't know how far it is, then you're going to do that.
He goes, well, I did it already.

Speaker 1 And it was like, if it was 10 feet shorter, he probably hits that water perfect. Yeah.
It was that final 10 feet where he just kind of just kind of drifted. I'm going to do a back bump.

Speaker 1 No, you're not. You're going to get fucking obliterated by this water.
30 feet. That's pretty high.
Yeah. Yeah.
I didn't know you were just allowed to do this. I didn't know this was just out here.

Speaker 1 He's a zipline guy. Yeah, he's definitely a zipline.
He was only air for the zipline, it actually kind of felt like

Speaker 1 we had a pier. He used to go jump off of into the river.
Oh, yeah. Pitch black.
I don't remember the exact height of that thing.

Speaker 2 Down at barking? It was probably 20.

Speaker 2 I lived there for a year.

Speaker 1 On barking

Speaker 1 that's sweet guinness world record shadiest road in the united states of the sun down there most shade it's in a valley next to a river yeah i got thrown off a pier got a concussion what's that when i was like nine years old yeah that'll happen what happened uh i had a um

Speaker 1 instructor and we were horsing around yeah used to babysit me sometimes so we're kind of just where's this you know my brother it's it's all kind of a bunch of big group and we're all laughing I got picked up and I got tossed off a pier and I landed on my back and it fucked me up.

Speaker 1 How far was the drop? 20 feet. You got picked up and thrown as a nine-year-old off a pier? Yeah.
It was fucking nuts, dude. It is hindsight looking bad.
Someone else jumped in.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine you doing that to a nine-year-old?

Speaker 1 No. Yeah, I've never done that.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's keep you away from nine-year-olds.
Okay. That's fair.
Let's keep you away from nine-year-olds. A lady, I saw a lady on the internet.

Speaker 1 Oh my gosh. Yes.
Her friend. And that lady.
She went to jail. She went to jail.
That's what everybody on the internet says. I don't know if that's real well.
I mean, the injuries.

Speaker 1 She like punctured a lung, broken ribs. That was fucked up.
I hated that video. Yeah, I did not like it at all.
Yeah. I kind of out of nowhere, too, just a shove off there.

Speaker 1 Because you'll see some of those people want to bungee jump and they're on like a box.

Speaker 1 And you'll see some of the locals like actually push people off. Like, hey.

Speaker 1 You're doing this. You signed up for it.
And it's always like an interesting situation because I'm like, would I want that to happen if if I'm up there? Probably not.

Speaker 1 I kind of want to go myself, but also, if you work there, like, how long do these people just gonna stay in shape? Yeah, I got people paying if everybody was just gonna be scared, they'd be scared

Speaker 1 push me. I agree.
But what would they tell us beforehand, though? Yeah, it was messed up. This girl was she goes face because, like, no, that video makes that video pisses you off bad.

Speaker 6 That girl that put it, that makes me so, yeah, yeah, that's infuriating.

Speaker 1 I've never, uh, I've never bungee jumped. I think that one's scarier than skydiving.

Speaker 3 You think, just a lot of external factors there, Yeah.

Speaker 1 A lot closer to Earth. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Remember rap sheet, feet first, messes up.

Speaker 1 Sky coaster doesn't cut?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Three, two, one, fly. Pull the thing through Kennywood.
Oh, yeah. I did that.
Yeah, I have. I've done that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's more.
That is a bungee jumping.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 in my estimation,

Speaker 2 I've bungee jumped before.

Speaker 1 Because that's what that is.

Speaker 1 Kind of. I think that kind of is.
You're sending 10-year-olds up there, 11-year-olds up there there in Kennywood. You know what they're not getting? Stuck because it ain't fucking Cedar Point.

Speaker 1 You guys talk to anybody over there in Ohio about that? Can't have that happen.

Speaker 6 I have not. I've never been to Cedar Point, actually.

Speaker 1 Did you see what that one guy said on the internet? No.

Speaker 1 He said Debone was sitting in the back.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 So that's why. It couldn't.
That was the bolt. Because the coaster goes like this, and then it goes

Speaker 1 to connect, and then it goes like this, and it just got stuck right here. It was a good point by the guy who tweeted.
I didn't even think of that. Debone was, I think,

Speaker 1 yeah, he was right back here because he was driving over to Ohio to get all the all-American beer that's left, yep, or real American beer that's left. Yeah, and he was right back there, I think.

Speaker 1 And they said that they didn't, whenever building that thing, they didn't expect it to not. That's a good point.
We don't know if that's true.

Speaker 1 I mean, you guys are really nice friends for thinking that Debone could get on a roller coaster,

Speaker 1 but I do. He's definitely tall enough.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 there's other limits.

Speaker 1 And unfortunately, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 3 What are you saying?

Speaker 1 I'm just saying, based on the structure of the roller coaster,

Speaker 1 I don't think that. You don't think that thing's starting to do? I don't think the bars are clicking.

Speaker 1 That's always the problem. Yeah.
You do this one and you got to do it a couple of times.

Speaker 1 It even happens to me every once in a while, and I'm nowhere near like a, I mean, I'm built like a spark plug, but not that big.

Speaker 1 Anytime I got to really yank that thing to get locked in, a little bit of anxiety. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Like, hey, it feels like that was not cleanly cleanly locked in and then what 16 year old comes walking by with a little madon i'm like all right

Speaker 1 barely pulls it just walking yep you're good it's like am i i don't know you sure you sure i was in here yeah all right

Speaker 1 keep your arms hands inside we see all your sat

Speaker 1 send him out and i'm just am i holding on this thing the whole ride i don't know if i can hold this and then you get upside down and you're like free falling and it's like well now we're gonna find out and then that thing stays locked and it's like

Speaker 1 Thank God, and then the ride's over. It's like, Well, that wasn't fun, yeah,

Speaker 1 I wasn't.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get out of here. Be a friend, tell a friend, something nice might change your life for this thing together.
It's been a great summer, man.

Speaker 6 That'd be so scary, it'd be so scary if you were holding on and it went upside down, and you felt it unhook, and you're just holding on, your legs are flying in the air, and you're how long can I hold this?

Speaker 1 We've talked about this before, but it's a good time to bring it up because state fair season's coming up.

Speaker 1 Uh, in where we grew up, there wasn't state fair, like we didn't do this, I think it's over there in Hershey or Harrisburg or who knows somewhere else. So I didn't know about state fairs.

Speaker 1 And then I come out here to Indiana. Love them.
Holy fuck. These things are the greatest.
People watching. The food's absurd.
I like to eat good food. Then like the things that are happening, awesome.

Speaker 1 State fairs are some of the greatest things ever created, I think.

Speaker 1 These people are getting on these rides, though, that

Speaker 1 I don't think we should be getting on in the middle middle of a parking lot.

Speaker 1 And I'm literally just watching that guy put it together.

Speaker 1 He was using a hand crank, and then this thing's going

Speaker 1 all the way up. Guy's a good hustler, though.
That's why he's out there. Those are awesome, though.

Speaker 1 The ones that you could die on in the middle of the day. Like the ones you were growing up as a kid going to.
See, that's what I'm saying. I never did those as a kid.
So I think that is kind of my.

Speaker 1 You think about it too much as an adult. Yeah, as a kid, you're just like, all right, you're getting live.

Speaker 6 The little spin one where you're like, you just sit on the wall.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you sit on the wall. Sticks to Starship's 2000 or something, they call it the orbiter that spins and turns at the same time.
The zipper. I saw.

Speaker 1 They all just make you puke. Always.
This one gets me now that I'm older. 1001 Nights.
This one, what's that?

Speaker 1 1,001 Nights. Go on.
The boat that goes.

Speaker 3 That's what his was called.

Speaker 1 It was 1,000 One Nights.

Speaker 1 My ears fell out. That's pirate shit.
That's pirate.

Speaker 1 That was the pirate shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, my ears fell out. Or did I hear anything for like three seconds.
That's my point. Yeah, it's okay.
Yeah, we were

Speaker 1 magic carpet or pirate ship. Yeah, 1001 nights, too.
It feels like that whenever I'm on it because it's that as I've gotten older, that one has not sat well with my

Speaker 1 body. I'm getting to the point where I'm going to have to figure out whether or not we're doing these things with McKenzie or not, these state fair rides.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I have a bad feeling Sam's all in on these things. She's been trying to get me to ride them for like four or five years.
I'm like, Sam, I'm not fucking going in that thing. Oh, come on.

Speaker 1 I have fun. Thank you.
You go do it.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to do it alone.

Speaker 1 Mackenzie's not getting in one. I don't know how to tell Sam.

Speaker 3 Well, that's what I would never do it, but I think of it too. Like, Iowa State Fair is the same thing.
Like, they do it so often that, like, it probably is safe.

Speaker 3 Very safe. But you're right.
Like, my kid isn't fucking going in there. Not a chance.
I'll go to an amusement park and do it.

Speaker 1 Kennywood.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I'm not going to the fucking fairgrounds and doing it. Not a chance.

Speaker 1 You're not putting your kid on a Kennywood ride either. Yeah.
You know what?

Speaker 1 No, I'm talking about Adventureland here. I ain't talking about fucking Kennywood.
Yeah, let's put this to the test.

Speaker 1 Why don't you and Sam and McKenzie head to Kennywood and hop on the fucking potato thing? I want to let you know that's potato patch. Potato patch is not a ride.
Oh, okay. It's a journey to Happytown.

Speaker 1 It is not a ride.

Speaker 1 Mackenzie will definitely be a Kennywood girl. No questions asked.
I've heard the prices are a little absurd, but... you know, gonna have to do that for

Speaker 1 free

Speaker 1 for a lifetime.

Speaker 2 We went to Cedar Point for mine's second birthday. She had so much fun.
We're going back for her third.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's what we're saying.

Speaker 1 Cedar Point.

Speaker 1 Did you see Cedar Point? Have you seen Cedar Point? I thought that's what he said. I was clarifying.
Well, we've heard, but yeah, I went to Cedar Point.

Speaker 1 D-Bone hopefully won't be there when he goes, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Debone, were you on the back of that thing? Why'd that guy say you're on the back of that thing?

Speaker 1 Wasn't on the back of the thing. I read it.
He went to Cedar Point.

Speaker 1 I read a T-bone. He was in the pond all weekend.
I saw a tweet about him that said he got in the teacup and the whole thing just shut down. The teacups?

Speaker 1 Yeah, the teacups was the only ride he could ride and fit into.

Speaker 11 Are you sure it was the teacups, not the t-cups?

Speaker 1 Might have been or the tea bowls. Okay.
Jeez.

Speaker 1 T-Bowls. Yeah, T-Bowls.
Tea cooler, perhaps. Tea refrigerator.
Boom!

Speaker 1 Bone, why are they saying you're on the back of that ride? Why'd that guy tweet that? I don't even have a mic to defend himself.

Speaker 1 Hey, he does.

Speaker 1 There we go.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that's how he feels about that guy.

Speaker 1 Great catch. That's national champion right there.
That That he sure is. So

Speaker 1 why were you on the back? Why did that guy tweet the right back?

Speaker 2 Bergie the hippie can go fuck himself.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 That's journalism. I guess Bergie the hippie did not see either.
Thank you. Sorry, we will no longer say that you were in the back of that or the T-Bowls or D-cops or anything.
Oh, thank you, D-bone.

Speaker 1 Those jokes ain't going nowhere, D-Bone.

Speaker 1 He does need to get it under control. He needs to start doing some physical activity.
He's got a dry fit on right now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's got a dry fit.

Speaker 1 Right after he's trying to be in jail. He's got to play the part.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 He was putting in work at the pond all weekend.

Speaker 1 That was a pond party. Yeah.
Yeah. He wasn't swimming.

Speaker 1 No, no, he was swimming. Yeah.
He was the 2025 Prince of the Pond. Yeah, Pond Prince.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 First year. Yeah.
He was the crown in all closing ceremonies.

Speaker 1 So Burger the Hippie was lying. I guess he wasn't on that roller coaster.
I'm not.

Speaker 1 I think there's still some validation to that claim. I don't know.
Burger Hippie's been around a while too. Let's not just rule him out.
You know, we can't just take one word over the other.

Speaker 1 All right. He's wearing a fucking dry fit.
Really? Dry fit.

Speaker 1 I was watching cops. That's literally what it just took me back to.

Speaker 1 Like, what if that is his excuse? I had fucking tights on yesterday.

Speaker 1 Saw a guy showing up at training camp.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Bob Spillane in 98-degree heat, the hottest day in New England, probably up to this point. Shows up to training camp in long sleeves, a sweatshirt, sweatshirt, and tights.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, and my immediate thought was, oh, this guy needs to lose some weight. Like, show up, came up a little heavy.
We need to lose some weight here. It's going to Bob Spillane.
Uh-uh.

Speaker 1 Every weight's perfect. So he's just a guy.
It's like, I was out in Vegas, brother. It was 120 degrees out there.
You think I'm worried about this New England heat? I don't think.

Speaker 1 What's going on in Europe? Hey, Europe's heat. Yeah, massive heat wave.
No air conditioning, right? Is that the big problem? I guess. Yep.
Wow.

Speaker 1 People dying. Oh, yeah.
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 It is crazy. Especially because down in South Florida, it's like always 100 degrees.
It's got to be something different over here.

Speaker 6 Yeah, they don't have air conditioning. What do you think it is?

Speaker 1 No, I don't. I don't know.

Speaker 6 What else could it be?

Speaker 1 What else do you think it is?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Karma? Who's the SEC quarterback you think is going to be behind

Speaker 1 behind

Speaker 1 Lenore Sellers?

Speaker 1 I told you, DJ Lagway. Okay, all right.
And then Archie. Do you say that because you hate white people? I love white people.

Speaker 1 Okay, I just wanted to make sure people are asking. I think DJ Lagway is going to be very good.
Yeah, he's got the quarterback whisperer, too. Napier.
That's right.

Speaker 1 They turned that team around, stuck with the boys.

Speaker 1 I do respect DJ Lagway, but my blind belief on the season is just like,

Speaker 1 the art show.

Speaker 1 And maybe I need to dial it back a little bit. I mean, remember the year Napier had with AR, his last year in Florida? Holy fuck, man.
Be a friend, tell a friend something nice.

Speaker 1 It might change her life. We're in a single girl.
Team on me. AJ, we'll see you tomorrow, buddy.
Are you coming with us tomorrow?

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 6 I'll meet you there. I'm gonna drive.

Speaker 1 You should just meet us at Canton.

Speaker 6 What? Oh, no, I can meet you at Pittsburgh. I plan on coming to Le Trobe.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Okay, just know that you don't have to.

Speaker 6 I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah. I got a buddy that's a big Sears fan.
He's coming to watch.

Speaker 1 Okay, sick. All right, we'll see you there tomorrow.
Bobby? Yeah, Bobby. The general?

Speaker 6 No, another buddy. He's a guy from Youngstown.
You know, all those Youngstown people are big. Big

Speaker 6 all the Pittsburgh sports.

Speaker 1 Youngstown is a Pittsburgh-type city.

Speaker 7 It is.

Speaker 1 A lot of Italians, Italians, a lot of grit.

Speaker 6 They remind me of Pittsburgh people. Like all my buddies' dads from, they sound like they're from Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 And they're the Penguins, right? Yes, they are. So it's very Pittsburgh.
You're right. All right, we'll see you tomorrow, AJ.

Speaker 1 Hopefully we'll see other people hang out with us tomorrow at the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. Come say hello.
And after the show, we're going to watch practice.

Speaker 1 That's what we're going to do. All right, that's a great idea.
That is what is happening. That needs to be said right now.
When that show is over, we're going to watch practice. Have to.

Speaker 1 Some of which. That's what we're here for.

Speaker 1 You're not watching practice. What?

Speaker 1 What's up?

Speaker 1 Cone staying for the Hall of Fame game. You know how to scout for week three? Yeah.
No, I'm focused on week one, brother. One game at a time.
Yeah, that's definitely one day at a time.

Speaker 1 One show at a time. One moment at a time.

Speaker 1 One wake-up at a time.

Speaker 2 I was just kidding about Canton too, by the way. I feel like that should be said too.

Speaker 1 All right. Team Andrew.
One, two, three.

Speaker 1 Goodbye.
