Speaker 4 Hello beautiful people and welcome to Beautiful Carey, North Carolina for TST 2025.

Speaker 1 This program starts right now.

Speaker 6 Conquest

Speaker 1 is happening here in beautiful Carey, North Carolina.

Speaker 1 And although it is a glorious sports complex, this Wakebed soccer park, and although the turnout is spectacular here for a soccer tournament where there will be $1 billion on the the line for the winning team.

Speaker 1 It is hot as shit down here. We're talking about humidity at about 110%.

Speaker 1 We're talking about high 80s, low 90s. We're talking about the beginning of summer in a beautiful way here with $1 million on the line.
My team, Concafa SC,

Speaker 1 debuted a whole new squad this morning. 10 a.m.
We took on Bournemouth, led by Josie Altador, who will be joining us on this particular program today. And we won 3-1.
Don't look look now.

Speaker 1 Concafa SC is hunting the bag. Conquer SC is back.
We got new stars.

Speaker 1 We got new names. Same attitudes, same grit.
And the arena boys are crushing. That's Porch new edition.
Lays it off to regret. Zach hits his first goal of CONCACAF.

Speaker 10 Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 I actually told him the starting seven for the first goal will win $500 each. It wasn't until the second half.
Meet former all TST team last year.

Speaker 1 Gets on the board early, hits a gritty, celebrates his life.

Speaker 1 They were in Azerbaijan last week, representing the United States of America, and then in target score time, Mani Ledesma hits a game winner 25 seconds into target score time.

Speaker 1 Don't want to act like I've been a good coach or a good motivator, but I talked to Mani right there going into TST target score time. And I said, buddy, Let one Krak.

Speaker 1 He scored against us last year when he was on Cincinnati. It was electrifying.
We said we need him on our team. We also got a guy named Drew Ruggles.

Speaker 1 Ruggles has dreads that have been growing for 13 years. Two years ago when he was on Newtown, had the assist for the million-dollar goal.
Last year he played on Nanny's team.

Speaker 1 This year, he's playing for Concafa. And in Porch, old buddy on the back right corner of this particular graphic behind Ruggles, he scored the million-dollar goal last year to win this entire thing.

Speaker 1 So our team is stacked. Our team is loaded.
And we're looking to win this. A lot of great competition though.
Oh yeah. A lot of great people.
Seamus is even here representing a German team.

Speaker 1 He'll be stopping by this particular program. We'll have Patty Maroon via FaceTime to talk about the NHL Stanley Cup finals, which are starting this evening.

Speaker 1 We'll talk about all the sports happening around the world while standing in about 150-degree heat. And we're lucky to do it.
It's not just me here. One half of the hammer.

Speaker 16 Don't go.

Speaker 1 Cowboys, AP Tone is here. Tone, welcome

Speaker 1 to TST, pal.

Speaker 17 It's awesome.

Speaker 17 It feels like when we were young and we were at soccer tournaments when there was anywhere from ages four all the way up to 16 playing for like state championships and stuff like that, it's awesome out here.

Speaker 17 The team is awesome. The artist formerly known as Red Boots now wearing black boots also had a hell of a game.

Speaker 17 The boys are loaded from like the guys that like everybody knows like Grella and Zat and all those guys like they

Speaker 17 actually they were like hey you guys you arena boilers you guys do what you need to do up front. We're just going to hold it down back here.
Well this team is going for it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we are. We're trying to put a little pressure on and Tony Miola did some good coaching.
Yeah, sure.

Speaker 21 Always.

Speaker 1 And Tab Ramos, obviously, a guy who is a Mount Rushmore United States player.

Speaker 1 I've done a lot of research and learned about him over the last like 48 hours after I found out he was going to be coaching on our team. He's a dog.
His boy, Alex.

Speaker 16 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Influencer in the soccer world.

Speaker 1 And then obviously Coach Gumpy was doing his thing today. Of course.
Chirped the ref one time. I think the refs actually had a good first game.
Yeah, it felt like it.

Speaker 1 No, the Bournemouth team started to get a little chippy because they started getting a little tired. Sure.
Now, I did warn them that our team will fight you. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Our team is not scared to fight you. That is kind of our thing, actually.
So, Bournemouth backed off. It was a great gentleman's game.
Handshake to them. We move on undefeated.

Speaker 1 Let's go to the toxic table at Boston Connor and at Kai Schmidt. Con man, I see the chain.
Do you have the vibes of a soccer fan this week?

Speaker 23 Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely one of the concave of crazies. You know, it feels good to be able to sit up here, watch the game.
I'm glad you guys were on this field. A lot of new names.

Speaker 23 You know, you mentioned the back porch. He's a great player.

Speaker 23 Lime green boots, also known as Pacheco.

Speaker 27 Also known as Waterbug.

Speaker 23 He's a hell of a player. He's all over the place.
And the boys try. You know, Breck Shea, I think that's the biggest thing.

Speaker 28 Breck Shea is giving it his all out there.

Speaker 23 You mentioned Led Zema, which I definitely just screwed his name on.

Speaker 30 Zeppelin.

Speaker 31 Ledesma.

Speaker 3 They call him Zeppelin.

Speaker 33 Zeppelin is his nickname.

Speaker 23 Zeppelin, he had a play down here. Two seconds later, guys on the other side of the field breaking up a play.
So it is a team that is both skilled, both gives high energy, and they are young guys.

Speaker 23 There are old guys, Brecht, and there are everybody in between.

Speaker 25 Would like to see a little more from Grella.

Speaker 23 Guy who's asking for 20K to play. He's going out there and basically just cutting.

Speaker 1 No, we're past that.

Speaker 33 Remember, we're past that? I don't know. He's cutting grass with his cleats.
That's all I saw.

Speaker 1 It's a long tournament.

Speaker 1 We had a lot of subs. We're playing a deep rotation this year.
We learned from Coach Carlos. Last year, we were like Tibbs.

Speaker 1 Not a lot of subbing. We were very only playing a few guys.
Today, everybody was in. Everybody was in, rotating because it's a lot of soccer left, which I know you're excited for, Ty Schmidt.

Speaker 24 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's great seeing the boys again.
You know, I know I'm not on the roster, but last year, you know, I feel like we really ingratiated with the entire team.

Speaker 24 Like Tony mentioned, I almost had a heart attack up here when I saw Mario Alvarez come out, my favorite player, red boots. He's not wearing red boots this year.

Speaker 24 He's wearing black boots, but boy, did he look good. And you're right.
I mean,

Speaker 24 this is a who's who of soccer sensations when it comes to TST. What a luxury to be able every seven you got out there.
Hey, they might be the best seven on the pitch.

Speaker 26 You know, I mean, it's

Speaker 24 you know, everyone's trying to win.

Speaker 9 There's black boots right there.

Speaker 40 And what a touch by black boots.

Speaker 34 Oh, and what a touch by me.

Speaker 34 Go meat.

Speaker 39 Exactly.

Speaker 24 So when, when that's just a little taste, when you can do that, you know, anytime you're out on the pitch, Conkeifa's going deep in this thing. They are.
There's just no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I love everything that you're saying. And, you know, I talked about the boys playing mini football over in Azerbaijan

Speaker 1 last week. It did not go well.
Oh, really? Yeah, I guess the boys are coming off quite an ass beating. Hungry.

Speaker 1 Quite an ass beating in Azerbaijan.

Speaker 1 I think there was a couple medical incidents that happened over there as well. Oh, no.
We're talking about fresh out of a bad experience, ready to have a great one.

Speaker 1 I appreciate the hell out of these Arena League boys and everybody else back for CONCAFA.

Speaker 1 Let's go to a man who's a college football national champion, a Super Bowl champion, a Ryder Cup winner, and an avid soccer enthusiast. Ladies and gentlemen, A.J.

Speaker 2 Hawk is here.

Speaker 1 Hawker, welcome back to Cary, North Carolina.

Speaker 21 It's good to be here.

Speaker 1 A little bit of a crowd has built here. It's pretty wild, actually.
They're up on the hill, too, Foxy. If you turn that thing left, it's got to be 1,000 degrees out there.

Speaker 1 It has got to be 1,000 degrees up on this hill. And, yeah,

Speaker 1 we appreciate you guys. Yeah, look at this crew.

Speaker 1 A lot of these people are being forced to listen to us, too. They got speakers going everywhere throughout the entire park.

Speaker 1 We appreciate you bearing with us for the next couple hours as we enjoy the hell out of Carey, North Carolina.

Speaker 7 Great to be back, though, Age.

Speaker 42 This place is unbelievable. It's so nice.
The people are cool. And get back to gameplay.

Speaker 42 Our second half goalie today, you can't punt it and you can't, what, drop kick it. He did like a sidewinder kick and he almost scored a goal.

Speaker 1 Yeah, New Rule. Yeah, he punted it and tried to score.

Speaker 3 He was getting around the rule somehow.

Speaker 1 Immediately upon getting onto the field, Phil E, okay, who is an absolute dog? I don't want to give anything away, but after the tournament, we'll talk about what Phil E is battling through right now.

Speaker 1 Just know that he's not 100%.

Speaker 1 But it doesn't matter because Phil E is going to be able to figure it out. But yeah, I like he put a stamp on it.
As soon as he got the ball, I'm punting this thing the full length of the field.

Speaker 1 New rule this year can't do that.

Speaker 44 New rule can't do that.

Speaker 16 He had to make it unbelievable. Unbelievable.

Speaker 45 Level straight throws down the sideline, too.

Speaker 43 Yeah, Phil E's a powerhouse.

Speaker 1 Phil E's former goalie of the year in the MASL.

Speaker 47 Big Stonewall, too.

Speaker 1 Got Stoner in the first half, big stop.

Speaker 1 He also had a big time pass. So the difference here, for those that are following along, Arena League boys play indoor, okay? Five on five of the goalie.

Speaker 1 Goalie has to be able to play with their feet because they are an added player. So like goal smaller.

Speaker 1 So goalie has to be able to stop shots, but goalie has to be able to play with their feet because how small the field is how many limited amount of people there are now that's why meet is wearing a penny right there because meet one of our players would go back and play goalie in targets four-time because it adds an offensive player to the field if they can stop balls as meet did last year good stoner is an outdoor goalie sure used to the big field not used to having to play with his feet i think this last year he's worked on his feet uh understanding what situation is stoner standing on his head and he's making big outlet passes feels like we got better all-around the pitch as drip fc FC fouls the shit out of somebody to start this entire thing.

Speaker 1 Nine-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler is here.

Speaker 12 Let me Deebox.

Speaker 1 Debux, this is your first time in a soccer tournament?

Speaker 50 Yes, sir. First time ever, and it's been electric.
And regardless of the sport, one thing, the first thing you look at is when the guys get off the bus.

Speaker 50 And looking at your squad off the bus, you see a lot of big guys, physicality, big fellas, and they play well, man.

Speaker 50 AJ was over here suggesting maybe some new rules, maybe a two-point play from the 50-yard line, give me a two-point goal.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think it's not a bad idea.

Speaker 50 Yeah, that would be electric, but it's been electric so far, man. Glad we started off with a win.
Looking forward to a deep run this year.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's a chance you can hit a deep ball, too, because the goalies are out playing with their feet. I mean, their goalie was almost drafted all the way in the other half.

Speaker 1 And if we were able to take advantage of that, it's four.

Speaker 1 Hello, we're talking about Marshi, you know, with the MT pet sending that thing from coast to coast, which is what we really need in the entirety. It's a beautiful tournament.
It's a beautiful city.

Speaker 52 And it's...

Speaker 1 A missed shot. Can't do that against our team.
I'm telling you.

Speaker 6 Can't do that.

Speaker 53 I mean, you're going to get that out of the way.

Speaker 1 The first half, though, of these games, I think everybody's kind of feeling it out. Yep.
Like our team was even feeling it out.

Speaker 23 Still much more crisp, though.

Speaker 2 Your team.

Speaker 22 Our team?

Speaker 5 Definitely.

Speaker 34 We had a preseason.

Speaker 1 We had a preseason. So we had three scrimmages on Monday.
As opposed to our first game in the tournament being our, hey, let's play for the first time together. We did that on Monday.

Speaker 1 And I heard the first game that we played on Monday, horrid.

Speaker 13 Okay.

Speaker 22 Heard absolutely horrid.

Speaker 1 Boys had no idea what to do. Second game, we got it together.
Third game, now we're playing ball. So in the first half, we had to figure it out against another team.

Speaker 1 We were sitting, I think we we dominated ball con uh control like 98 yeah i think it was like 18 minutes to two minutes we had the ball we just weren't able to crack we weren't able to get in and then in the second half we knew once we had it moving boys were gonna hunt any uh pucks on net talk in that situation so a lot of meat yelling i don't know if you hear me going yeah i mean that is me telling him rip one let's rip one

Speaker 1 yeah we were trying to think about having one here you know a lot of that yeah exactly that's what we were yelling up here what it sounded like when you said it just like hey me maybe think about having one here maybe want to have one here you know anytime he's got the

Speaker 16 ball can he hear you or no you think

Speaker 24 a couple times I think he did yeah I think he knows anytime he's got possession he's kind of thinking about he might want to have one meat is a lot of the lads yeah having one is shoot boots if we yell boots boots boots boots that's like hey get the ball down look center there might be someone with their boots out

Speaker 52 back door Connor's also really big on marking a guy now yeah yeah yeah good mark good mark mark one mark one

Speaker 23 I heard Phil say that earlier and I thought oh that's pretty cool I like that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Mark is just playing getting somebody.

Speaker 56 Yeah, yeah, good mark. Good mark.

Speaker 59 Is it man-to-man?

Speaker 60 Is it like man-to-man sacked off or some type of zone?

Speaker 1 We run some zone, inside-out zone.

Speaker 48 Okay.

Speaker 1 But also man-to-man, whenever they get, when they're running, you have to pick somebody up.

Speaker 48 You have to mark somebody up.

Speaker 16 Oh, you got marked.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a big deal. So it's a zone transition into man.
Like it. You know, it's a

Speaker 1 cover man. Zone match.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 61 It's like that.

Speaker 18 We know that.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about some of the other sports that are happening around us. Tonight, the NHL Stanley Cup finals begin.

Speaker 1 And congratulations to the Florida Panthers making it back and representing the Eastern Conference.

Speaker 6 Yes! We beat the shit out of the Connecticut!

Speaker 6 Oh no! Yes!

Speaker 6 Yes!

Speaker 12 Oh no!

Speaker 53 Real quick, real quick.

Speaker 1 Another great run by the Carolina Hurricanes.

Speaker 37 Hey!

Speaker 12 All the way to the bottom of the business.

Speaker 1 Just won't be able to get over the hump, potentially. That is a fear.
But you have to be able to lose in those big moments to be able to win in those big moments.

Speaker 1 Carolina Hurricanes are on the up and up like they were last year, and the year before that. Exactly.

Speaker 27 And the year before that.

Speaker 40 But they will.

Speaker 1 They will continue to go. And we respect the hell out of the Kaniaks, which there are certainly many of them here representing today, right down the road in Raleigh.
We're currently in Kerry.

Speaker 1 I believe this is a triangle area of the two really smart schools.

Speaker 6 Oh, okay.

Speaker 17 Durham's down the road, which is Duke. UNC is very, very close, obviously.

Speaker 45 NC State, basically where we're at.

Speaker 16 That is Wake Forest.

Speaker 23 At Chapel Hill.

Speaker 17 Oh, yeah, this is Wake Med.

Speaker 37 Is Wake right around there too?

Speaker 1 I assume Wake Forest is around here.

Speaker 23 Yeah, I think Wake Forest is the one who opened up that little town we were in last night.

Speaker 41 Oh, it's a very wonderful place.

Speaker 23 There's a couple restaurants there you should probably steer clear from.

Speaker 23 I wasn't sure if we were wanting to get into this.

Speaker 1 I didn't know if the first night we were in town we should talk about it, but

Speaker 23 we can wait. I just want to make sure.

Speaker 1 I did tell the best person in that entire restaurant line.

Speaker 4 Without a doubt.

Speaker 1 There was one hero that came into that restaurant and saved our life.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 1 We just asked if you could take our group. They decided to take our group.

Speaker 1 sure they didn't tell the servers or the chefs no servers and the chefs were not happy that they took our group as late as they took our group very nice steakhouse worst experience i've ever had no questions asked what happened hard on it it wasn't like food like food wasn't great or food didn't come what are we talking about yeah co-operation it was just it's kind of why you went there yeah yeah we just wanted food and

Speaker 3 this particular restaurant is known across the nation for being very good very good it fell away it fell on the shoulders of one one man yes it did it was one walk one guy committed the chef and everyone.

Speaker 65 Bringing a big party in when they were probably about to close and they thought they were done.

Speaker 16 Clocking out.

Speaker 1 Everybody was clocking out of the restaurant.

Speaker 42 They hate that guy. And then somebody said,

Speaker 37 no problem.

Speaker 1 You could definitely serve you. Nobody told them they were still working, though.
So, you know, water, 60, 70 minutes later. Just water.
That's all we wanted. Apps, don't even think about it.

Speaker 1 We're out.

Speaker 12 We're out.

Speaker 1 We're out. We don't have that.

Speaker 42 Don't have that.

Speaker 42 It's like a prominent place you went. Like, I've heard of the place you

Speaker 8 very much.

Speaker 28 Oh, thanks.

Speaker 50 So you served us the shrimp cocktail.

Speaker 37 Yeah, I

Speaker 15 it was beautiful

Speaker 1 it was downtowntown it's a nice little top if you need to ask you'll never know anyways Florida Panthers beat the hell out of the Carolina hurricanes they go to the

Speaker 1 they go to the stand of the cup finals to take on the Edmonton oilers here

Speaker 1 big standing cup final tonight now obviously they're looking to go back to back this Florida Panthers team there's only been seven or eight teams I believe who have gone back to back.

Speaker 1 You're talking about a dynastic run here. A run that will be talked about forever whenever you talk about the Stanley Cup.

Speaker 1 When you go back to back on Lordo, obviously because they put everybody's name on there, you take up some real real estate on the Stanley Cup.

Speaker 16 So whenever Howard or Harold,

Speaker 1 hard-nose Harold,

Speaker 1 when Howie is walking that Stanley Cup around the globe, to all the different events and places, you're going to see your team taking up a massive piece of that Stanley Cup.

Speaker 1 Only the great teams, the teams that are considered the greatest of all time, have been able to go back to back. Three straight finals, obviously.
Congratulations to the Florida Panthers for that.

Speaker 1 Will they be able to go back to back? We shall see. Kachuck's a dog.

Speaker 27 Yes.

Speaker 1 Bob's a beast in the net. Everything they stand for, we love.
Hockey loves. Marshi will fight you still at this age.
That entire team will.

Speaker 1 But they're taking on a guy who has Jesus Christ in his nickname.

Speaker 16 Yes. Yep.
Yep.

Speaker 1 You're taking on Mick Jesus, this Connor McDavid guy. He's faster than everybody else on the ice somehow, and it looks like he's playing against children whenever he has the puck on his stick.

Speaker 1 It makes no sense. He's so talented that the NHL actually asked him to put together the talent portion and the skill portion of the all-star game.
Hey, what do you do?

Speaker 1 What do you think would be a good talent? What do you think would be fun to work on? That's what we'll do at the All-Star Game.

Speaker 2 He's special.

Speaker 1 Wow. He is so incredible.
And he has carried this Edmonton Oilers team on his back for the last couple years. Last year, they weren't able to get it done.
This year, can they?

Speaker 1 That is the the storyline, and I think we got a good one going into the final.

Speaker 17 It gives me huge, and obviously, we were following the team, so it's easier to speak on.

Speaker 17 08-09, for years and years and years, the Red Wings were basically like the Florida Panthers, where they were absolutely dominant. We had a young studded Sidney Crosby and Geno Malcolm who come in.

Speaker 17 First time they play him in the cup. Sid doesn't touch the trophy after the conference finals.
They lose the first cup to Detroit. They make it all the way back the next year to face them again.

Speaker 17 Touches the conference final cup that time, and then Sid and Geno and the boys. Flower made a huge

Speaker 17 save. They get the cup in their second time.

Speaker 17 But like the McDavid-Sid comparison, as far as going up against the Big Bad Wolf as the Panthers and being the best, most skilled player in the league, it kind of feels like that 08-09 situation.

Speaker 50 Yeah, I'm not worried about it at all.

Speaker 1 So you were worried about the Carolina Hurricanes there, Australia.

Speaker 49 I saw you sweating.

Speaker 50 It was not. You were sweating.
At all. The game that I was able to make it to, we beat there, I think, 6-2.
But

Speaker 50 that's where they fall short. But this is our third time in the final.
And the boys are ready. The boys are ready to run it back.
Obviously, McDavid is, I won't call him McJesus. McJesus was not.

Speaker 50 Canadians. Can't wait to rip Canada's heart out one more time.
I can't wait to get back around Lord Stanley, too. I missed it when he came into the studio.
But we'll touch that thing again, Paul.

Speaker 50 You mentioned Chucky. It starts with our captain, Barkey.
Barky just won another. What's the award? He just won a Selkie?

Speaker 3 Yeah, Selkie.

Speaker 30 Just won a defensive forward.

Speaker 50 Yeah, yep, he's an absolute dog. Obviously, he added Marshi, he added Jonesy, so we added depth to the core guys that are there.
Never running back, man.

Speaker 1 The good news is it'll be a great game tonight.

Speaker 1 This will be phenomenal to watch. This will be incredible entertainment, and they'll be physical as shit.
And Edmonton knows that that's going to happen as well.

Speaker 23 Yeah, Bingo, you just wonder if they can, you know, kind of block out the rats of Florida. Gumpy mentioned it throughout the entire series of Edmonton and Dallas.

Speaker 23 It's coming down to Stu Skinner, baby.

Speaker 23 If the Edmonton goalie, Stu Skinner, who was benched, came in in relief, now has turned it back on.

Speaker 23 If he can continue to play well, then all of a sudden we might be talking about the Edmonton Oilers kind of going on a run here, fulfilling Conor McDavid's destiny for glory.

Speaker 23 But, you know, Brad Marchan, a lot of pesticides, they added.

Speaker 1 He was born to be a Florida Panthers, says Kickstock. That has to hurt up there in Boston.
You guys just trade him out. He's going to go win another Stanley Cup.
Let's go back to the truck.

Speaker 1 Nikki Skates, you have some thoughts on tonight?

Speaker 27 Yeah, Pat, you guys.

Speaker 67 Whoa, what a setup.

Speaker 6 Whoa.

Speaker 46 How many buttons do you have?

Speaker 18 Just slide them.

Speaker 68 Yeah, you guys covered it pretty well, but I mean, obviously, the big story being with Jesus and Dreisitel, the dynamic duo at Edmonton, something that's being discussed on the internet.

Speaker 68 And we've seen the perennial run here by Tampa Bay. They go three years in a row, and now Florida's gone three years in a row.

Speaker 68 Tampa Bay used a lot of tactics of putting guys on the long-term IR and stashing them into the playoffs.

Speaker 40 Good move.

Speaker 68 That is going to be addressed allegedly by the CBA negotiations, potentially, and some of the owners getting together in the offseason.

Speaker 68 Something they're talking about now, and it's mostly led by upset Toronto fans like Paul Bissonette, is teams that have no state income tax. Do they have an advantage in the league?

Speaker 39 Yes.

Speaker 15 Everyone's crying foul.

Speaker 1 Yes, they do. Have been able to do this.
Teams that are in Canada, do you have a tax massive disadvantage? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes, You want to win a cup? Change the tax.

Speaker 3 Bit of. That's

Speaker 1 Biz saying, listen, Florida is able to just knock off 8% of the state income tax, 6%. What's that all about?

Speaker 60 Is that a new rule?

Speaker 50 We just changed the income tax rule.

Speaker 59 Is that like?

Speaker 61 Yeah, it's been around a long time.

Speaker 1 How about Tennessee? Nashville.

Speaker 61 Tennessee and Nashville. There's a business way to do that.

Speaker 7 Texas, too, right? Then Texas.

Speaker 57 Yeah, Texas.

Speaker 5 Remember Washington?

Speaker 16 Nevada.

Speaker 23 You had Nevada.

Speaker 23 Arizona, even though they just got rid of their team.

Speaker 1 Don't you think Indiana needs to do that?

Speaker 16 I agree.

Speaker 1 I just got a text from Johnny Damon.

Speaker 28 Oh, Johnny Damon?

Speaker 26 Big fan of the show.

Speaker 37 Yankee Legend.

Speaker 8 He's sponsoring Drip FC.

Speaker 6 Oh, let's go.

Speaker 54 Johnny Man, I'm just saying hi.

Speaker 1 I'm out here sponsoring my team, Drip FC. We're on the field behind you.
Just wanted to say what's up.

Speaker 30 Johnny Damon, where is he?

Speaker 50 Huge fan of the program.

Speaker 45 Does he have the large beard still?

Speaker 24 No, he got rid of that.

Speaker 50 Looks good to have it to him in the program.

Speaker 3 He's 40 years ago.

Speaker 44 Love you, Johnny.

Speaker 30 Those of you who enjoyed the bananas, if you wanted to.

Speaker 14 Where is he?

Speaker 16 Johnny Damon, legend.

Speaker 3 The guy's a legend.

Speaker 17 The coach for Drip FC is wearing a full suit.

Speaker 59 So someone dunked him. Look at him.

Speaker 66 I'm going to hit him out. Straight across.

Speaker 18 I love that. Right at the suit.

Speaker 16 Jeff Damon. I'm just waving.

Speaker 46 He's just waving. He's a red sock.
It's a legend.

Speaker 24 Look for a guy holding a baseball bat.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Speaking of, hold on now.

Speaker 22 Let's talk about James.

Speaker 1 Drinking a beer. That's a good transition.
Shout out to U.S. Baseball, dropping off some swag.
They are located, I believe, in Kerry, North Carolina.

Speaker 8 Is that accurate?

Speaker 48 Yeah, I believe so.

Speaker 37 It's a smart decision.

Speaker 1 Hey, use that. You want to give a toast?

Speaker 65 Jeremy, guys.

Speaker 71 Prosts!

Speaker 6 Prost!

Speaker 53 What's that? Cheers.

Speaker 1 I should.

Speaker 66 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 50 Good apple juice.

An honor that it is with the greatest crew,

Speaker 1 greatest crew you could ever have. To a great tournament, to BBB winning it all.
Slotcha Lance Prost.

Speaker 32 Let's go.

Speaker 53 Yeah, to Concerva.

Speaker 6 Concava.

Speaker 1 What type of beer is this? This is one of those super flavorful beers where the brewer says, I put my heart, my soul, and my entire backyard into this.

Speaker 16 It's not bad at all.

Speaker 5 It's going to have a lot of flavor.

Speaker 37 It's kind of delightful.

Speaker 18 It's a proper German beer, by the way.

Speaker 1 It's a proper German beer.

Speaker 6 It's got a little light.

Speaker 46 And the Germans know how to drink beer.

Speaker 65 Irish know how how to drink Guinness, but the Germans definitely know how heads drink beer.

Speaker 48 Yeah, beer spines, right?

Speaker 1 That's what they do.

Speaker 69 That's it. This is a delicious.

Speaker 16 It is.

Speaker 1 So you have a chair, extra chair there?

Speaker 6 There, chair, right here.

Speaker 37 Where are you going to?

Speaker 46 Where are you going to sit?

Speaker 16 No, no, no, right here.

Speaker 16 You got a headset right there.

Speaker 1 Oh, perfect.

Speaker 23 This is kind of like a labatte with the cores light, kind of a perfect color.

Speaker 3 It's delicious.

Speaker 24 It's a good way of phrasing it. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Oh, man.

Speaker 48 That went down real smooth.

Speaker 1 I was supposed to maybe play in that second game tonight.

Speaker 9 Why would I do that?

Speaker 16 Drip FC.

Speaker 33 Drip FC.

Speaker 56 Oh, Damon's boys came to play.

Speaker 34 We knew it.

Speaker 50 Saw him off the bus.

Speaker 1 Okay, welcome to the show, Seamus. It is an honor to have you.
We appreciate you. You're currently acting as the team representative of what's team?

Speaker 65 Brusha Dortmund.

Speaker 64 Who? Brusha Dortmund.

Speaker 23 Brusha and Dortmund.

Speaker 37 Russia and Dortmund.

Speaker 72 Barusha Dortmund.

Speaker 69 BBB. What's he saying?

Speaker 12 BVB. OI.

Speaker 6 OI! OI!

Speaker 4 BVB!

Speaker 6 OI!

Speaker 6 OI!

Speaker 1 Is it one of your favorite teams?

Speaker 65 Well, because I'm a Liverpool fan my whole life,

Speaker 65 during the pandemic when everything was shut down, there's some Liverpool fans here.

Speaker 65 The Bundesliga was the only league that was on at the time. So, with the club connection with Liverpool and Dortmund, and both teams embracing You'll Never Walk Alone, it was an easy pick for me.

Speaker 65 So, I've had a great relationship with Dortmund over the last five, six years, so I'm proud to represent them here today.

Speaker 1 Okay, so Dortmund actually came and gave us a bunch of food last year.

Speaker 48 Yeah, they did.

Speaker 1 I love the way their team operates.

Speaker 27 Great fella.

Speaker 65 What a looks like a big family business. You know,

Speaker 65 the people that realize what Dork is.

Speaker 37 Oh, shit!

Speaker 6 It's a goal!

Speaker 73 Right? That's what they call the nasty goals.

Speaker 67 That was filthy. Is that an answer?

Speaker 35 Yeah, Goldzalo, they crossed one in head.

Speaker 1 Colossal. There it is.

Speaker 2 Shit. Goldzalo.

Speaker 18 You're close.

Speaker 6 Cross in.

Speaker 23 Cross in header off the post and in it.

Speaker 1 Do we have that? I wonder if we'll be able to pull it up. It was in the background while we were talking there.
That's wonderful news.

Speaker 8 There it is. Here's the replay.

Speaker 16 Here it is.

Speaker 6 Beautiful.

Speaker 6 Bottom corner.

Speaker 65 No chance for the goalkeeper. Did you play?

Speaker 1 Did you guys have you played yet, Dortmund?

Speaker 65 No, I practiced with the team yesterday. Good crack.
I was in goal. I had a laugh.
But obviously, I'm not allowed playing the tournament from WB's perspective, so they don't want me getting hurt.

Speaker 65 So I'm on the sideline Ging them up, you know, giving them a bit of motivation.

Speaker 1 Have you guys played yet?

Speaker 65 We played a game this morning, yeah.

Speaker 71 How'd it go? How'd it go?

Speaker 65 I didn't go too good.

Speaker 6 Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Who'd you play? Who'd you play?

Speaker 65 What was the name of that team again?

Speaker 69 They were good.

Speaker 71 They looked out Freedom United.

Speaker 65 United.

Speaker 48 Freedom What was the final scorer?

Speaker 65 3-2.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. Not bad.
That's a good battle.

Speaker 65 First half, we weren't great, but we settled down in the second. It was 1-0 half-time to them, and we came back.
But with another game here, it's 6.45.

Speaker 65 So, you know, I feel like the wheels are starting to turn now. They'll be all right.

Speaker 71 I feel they're going to do okay.

Speaker 1 You have a lot of confidence in your team. I do.

Speaker 43 They're a great bunch of lads.

Speaker 65 Honestly, great bunch of lads. They're representing the crest.
19.09, that team was established. So there's a lot of responsibility on their shoulders, but I think they're going to roll it out.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, I don't think that's the case.

Speaker 65 What's your team again?

Speaker 71 Concava?

Speaker 6 Concaquet for Concava. Concaque.

Speaker 56 Concafa.

Speaker 8 That's who we are.

Speaker 24 Better get familiar.

Speaker 65 Do you have any other, apart from you guys, is there anyone else supporting that team? Or what are you talking about?

Speaker 20 Concafa? Concafa, yeah.

Speaker 1 We got the concafa crazies. Look at this.

Speaker 11 You got merchimo.

Speaker 21 We got concafa mercham. Yeah.

Speaker 15 We got people saying

Speaker 22 concava.

Speaker 1 Look, we got a concafa scarf up there.

Speaker 30 What's that?

Speaker 37 Boom.

Speaker 65 That don't worry about that. They're all plants.

Speaker 6 All of them are plants.

Speaker 64 You paid them all, Patty.

Speaker 27 I know you have.

Speaker 1 To be clear, Zach, the kid who had the first goal for us, his mom made this tank top.

Speaker 9 Sweet.

Speaker 1 Ton Diggs got these from TST. They're the ice things.
Yep. And I don't have a single scarf in my possession.
So,

Speaker 1 all contra, we're moving merch over here at Concaf. You better hope, for Dortmund's sake, that we don't try to get into Bundesliga.

Speaker 1 Because if I want to bring a team over to Bundesliga, we're going to be sprecking Deutschen all over the place. Gutenthog, Guttenthag, Konkefa, Konkeifa.

Speaker 74 Let's talk.

Speaker 65 German's great, by the way.

Speaker 46 I have to say. Grazi.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What is thank you?

Speaker 72 Donkers.

Speaker 71 Donkishen. Dunkishen.

Speaker 48 Dunkishen.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Dunkishen. And then Dorier.
Dawah. Exactly.

Speaker 34 Yeah, you don't even know.

Speaker 8 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 I'm speaking languages you don't know.

Speaker 65 Listen, mate, I can barely speak English, so let's just leave it at that.

Speaker 1 I agree with that. The accent is something there's going to be a lot of people that are putting on the caption so they can understand what you're saying.

Speaker 65 And rightly so.

Speaker 64 I'm not embarrassed, but how long you agree.

Speaker 1 It sounds awesome. How long have you been with the WWE?

Speaker 65 18 years now,

Speaker 65 a year and a half developmental. I'm coming up to my 16th year on June 30th this year.

Speaker 69 Congratulations.

Speaker 6 I appreciate it.

Speaker 6 Let's talk about it.

Speaker 1 Obviously, a lot of turnover, a lot of change in those 18 years in WWE.

Speaker 1 Obviously, the internet was ablaze this week whenever we all found out that our truths contract was expiring soon and that he was not going to be with us falling forward from his own announcement.

Speaker 1 Also, Carlito. Carlito came out, and I I didn't think I saw that until a couple days later.
I love Carlito.

Speaker 9 He's a bad apple.

Speaker 54 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 Carlito's a bad apple.

Speaker 1 But R-Truth and Carlito have been with the WWE for so damn long, been pillars of the WWE, have been so entertaining, have been beloved by the WWE universe for so long.

Speaker 1 Obviously, there was a loud reaction to that in a negative way. 18 years you've been there.
There's been a lot of turnover. And I think that's something that we come from the NFL world.

Speaker 1 Okay, we'll have a friend that we're on Colts with, and we're eating lunch with him. This guy's a professional football player.
He's made millions of dollars. He's on the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 1 I'm having lunch with him. He goes to a meeting.
I go to a meeting. I never see the guy again.
He got cut.

Speaker 1 And in our world, like people move on. You don't have a job forever.
It's like you do get cut. You have to learn and just kind of do it.
In the WWE, it's kind of similar.

Speaker 1 But I think people fall in love with the superstar so much, it's harder to move on from people. What are your thoughts and perspective on the business as a whole?

Speaker 48 And

Speaker 1 do you know when it's time? Like, do you think guys know when it's time? Do you think it's always like what are your thoughts on it all?

Speaker 65 Sometimes people don't know. Look, you know, from a perspective of what we do, entertainment, like, it's been entertaining the fans.

Speaker 65 And people, like, I'm sure in NFL, you know, fans to see that the player, like, interviews and everything, and they see what he does in the field.

Speaker 65 But for our perspective, what we do, the fans get to know who that person is and they get to fall in love with the character and the personality.

Speaker 65 Like, for truth, example, like, he's one of the most beloved because he's one of the most entertaining.

Speaker 65 I had my first dark match against him when I came up in 07, I think think 08, I joined in 07, 08, I came up with the road for dark, and Ortrude had just come back after he was with the company, went to TNA, came back again, so we had a dark match together

Speaker 65 on the road, and like from then we bonded, you know, like it's that fellow walking in the dressing room and it's just laugh. He's got a contagious laugh that would just like light up the room.

Speaker 65 But you don't, there's no way of knowing, man. You just got to go out there and do what you can.

Speaker 65 Sometimes you can't tell when that time is.

Speaker 1 A lot of guys come back though.

Speaker 49 That's the wrestling business.

Speaker 1 even more so now with how many opportunities there are elsewhere and it feels like it's only growing i mean let alone like triple a getting bought up by wwe and tko that partnership what they're gonna do the amount of money probably gonna be invested into there t and a seemingly all the way back obviously aew still rolling they broke a record of some sort there's so many opportunities but there's always a road back to wwe it feels not the end it's not the end so many people so many guys and girls have left and come back it's not the end like it's a bit of sometimes it's a bit of a break and there's no no way Truth's not going to come back at some stage.

Speaker 65 I'm sure you'll see him again.

Speaker 8 He's definitely a Hall of Fame.

Speaker 71 He's definitely a pillar, yeah.

Speaker 65 And same with Carlito. Carlito was gone for a while.
He came back, you know. And it's not the end.
If you truly want to find your way back, you'll find your way back. It's not the end for anybody.

Speaker 1 So many talented people at the WWE.

Speaker 65 Yeah, it's crazy. And so many young talent coming up as well.
I just did a workout with Abafemi from NXT, NXT World Heavyweight Champion. I was down in the performance centre.

Speaker 65 So it just dropped today on Celtic Warrior Workouts. Want to check it out?

Speaker 1 Million subscribers, Seamus.

Speaker 44 big time.

Speaker 65 But he was behind the neck, shoulder pressing, standing and shoulder pressing nearly 300 pounds. And he was using his traps.
As you know, when you do squats, you put that kind of pad on the bar.

Speaker 26 He was using his traps as that pad.

Speaker 11 Just finding out.

Speaker 71 Unbelievable, man.

Speaker 1 You put the pad on the bar when you squat?

Speaker 65 I don't, but I'm just saying.

Speaker 71 Some people would, but I'm just saying

Speaker 38 extra like that.

Speaker 46 Some people don't like that.

Speaker 1 AJ has a question for you, Seamus.

Speaker 42 Seamus, you say, what, almost 18 and a half years of ever with the WWE?

Speaker 65 Coming up in 18 years.

Speaker 42 Do you ever go back and watch some of your old stuff from when you first got in and say, like, wow, I've really come a long way?

Speaker 65 I try not to watch my old stuff.

Speaker 37 I'm sure you were awesome back then, though.

Speaker 18 I'm sure we wouldn't.

Speaker 42 I'm sure you were awesome back then, but like, how much, what is it like now going into the ring compared to what it was like when you were younger?

Speaker 65 I feel when I first started in WWE, I was just so nervous and just so self-conscious of myself. And just like, I wasn't really in the moment.
I wasn't really enjoying it.

Speaker 65 I just wanted to make sure I got through it without messing up, without making any mistakes. And now at the point where I just love going out there, I just feel the crowd.

Speaker 65 you know he's there in commentary banging it out you can hear him all over the bleeding place so you guys can't hear me I always hear you

Speaker 65 can hear you over I can hear you over 20,000 people in that crowd Patty okay I didn't know that

Speaker 16 I'm gonna remember that yeah I'm gonna lock that in come on

Speaker 1 Patty it's fine fella

Speaker 65 you'll hear me you'll hear me I'll make sure but um but you know I just enjoy I you know feel the crowd in the moment I'm more in the moment than I've ever been and that's what it's about and letting the crowd in and I feel that's why I'm having the best matches in my entire career.

Speaker 65 And that's why I love going out there. I love putting on banger after banger.

Speaker 57 After banger, after banger, after banger, after banger, after banger, after banger, after banger, after banger, after banger.

Speaker 16 Did you drive a bus?

Speaker 1 Did you drive a bus really?

Speaker 65 No.

Speaker 22 I thought it was the.

Speaker 41 No.

Speaker 65 That's a good Uber, like everybody else.

Speaker 5 Banger, banger. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was not the banger bus.

Speaker 8 It's a nice Uber.

Speaker 65 No, remember, remember, remember the Banger Brothers, the thing back in the day?

Speaker 12 Me and Tara.

Speaker 37 You got a banger bro.

Speaker 6 You look at that other guy.

Speaker 44 You're not going to talk about it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you got to get it. The Banger Brothers?

Speaker 37 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 38 I got shut down real fast, by the way.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 59 That's not the one I remember.

Speaker 57 What are you talking about? What?

Speaker 50 The different.

Speaker 56 You are a

Speaker 30 part of the other team, aren't you?

Speaker 25 No, no, no.

Speaker 50 I'm thinking about a different bang.

Speaker 6 Speaking about

Speaker 6 a banger brothers, the banger bro.

Speaker 37 Speaking about bitty.

Speaker 50 Speaking about Biddy in the moment, we are out here.

Speaker 50 You've been around the world. Obviously, been a superstar for a long, long time.
How's Carrie been treating you so far? Do you have any, I guess, suggestions for us for dinner tonight?

Speaker 65 We ended up in Bahama Breeze last night.

Speaker 50 Okay, we saw that on the way here.

Speaker 65 Yeah, yeah. Instead of boats going by the hotel, it was just cars and trucks and stuff.

Speaker 26 That's just a good thing.

Speaker 65 My wife was really impressed with it.

Speaker 22 I can tell you where not to go.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of restaurants out here.

Speaker 65 There is.

Speaker 65 I mean, we only got in yesterday, but late yesterday, staying at the same place.

Speaker 65 But, you know, like Carolina is great, man. I just, I love this place.
It feels very close to being in Ireland. So many trees, so many greenery.
Everyone's super friendly.

Speaker 3 Except for this heat, dude. This heat's killing me.

Speaker 1 Ty has a question for you, Sheamus.

Speaker 24 Yeah, Sheamus, I am curious. You're obviously absolutely jacked.
Pat mentioned, you know, the Celtic Warrior workouts are up over a million subs right now. How does your body feel?

Speaker 24 And how much different is it when you get in the ring now than maybe it was 16 years ago when you were a you know spring chicken?

Speaker 72 I don't think it was ever a spring chicken Ty, but

Speaker 65 um no I actually feel right now. I think I'm in the best shape I've ever been in.
I'm I'm using this. My wife got me, Isabella got me on this app called Ladder App.

Speaker 65 I've been using, and I have this guy called Corey Perkins, awesome trainer. And I feel now like I'm lifting six days a week.

Speaker 65 I'm eating really well, a kind of carnivore animal diet, except for this, obviously, but you're loud on special days like this. But I feel now like I've just so set my way to train.

Speaker 65 And when I first started, I wasn't as self-conscious or I wasn't as strict, regimented on what I was doing. But now I feel like I'm definitely dialed in and I'm really liking it.

Speaker 37 You said Ladder App?

Speaker 41 Yeah, Ladder App, too.

Speaker 1 It was Corey Perkins.

Speaker 65 Corey Perkins, awesome trainer, but I want to give you a shot.

Speaker 46 So he's on your app?

Speaker 14 He's on your app? Yeah, he is, yeah.

Speaker 9 Hold on, hold on.

Speaker 38 I need to learn more about that. Oh, yeah, sure.

Speaker 1 So the ladder app. Yeah.
You just take your phone downstairs into the gym, open it up, and Corey's leading you through a workout.

Speaker 65 Yeah, you pick whoever, the trainer you kind of most like resonate with. You pick the trainer, and Corey is the one.

Speaker 16 You remember when I came back?

Speaker 4 Teleton for lifting?

Speaker 65 It's basically that, yeah. And every day is a new set.
Like, you can do six days, minimum of three days. It's awesome.
But it's changed my life right already.

Speaker 71 You saw those pictures of me, burger after burger.

Speaker 37 You remember that stuff?

Speaker 1 They were calling you fat, Seamus.

Speaker 71 They were calling me fat.

Speaker 43 And rightly so, you know,

Speaker 65 I was, listen, listen, I'm telling you,

Speaker 65 there was creases going on everywhere. There shouldn't have been creases.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 65 But I'm dialed in now. And it's, if you want to go.

Speaker 71 Oh, by the way, when are you going to get on Celtic Warrior Workouts?

Speaker 65 We should all do one together as a character.

Speaker 8 Huh? I'm a fat sloss, dude.

Speaker 26 I can't do anything.

Speaker 31 No, thanks.

Speaker 65 Connor, you're just so negative all the time, lately.

Speaker 6 What's wrong?

Speaker 58 What are you doing right now?

Speaker 13 You're just there, man. You get pad on.

Speaker 8 You should get pad on.

Speaker 65 Okay, I came to earn your round to talk to you on your laptop.

Speaker 22 No, no, Shane.

Speaker 23 It's some business.

Speaker 71 Big league, me when I came on here, you all before the show.

Speaker 6 It's not you saying

Speaker 6 that.

Speaker 65 Try to give him a beard. He's complaining, got spoiled.

Speaker 12 I got finished the beard.

Speaker 44 It's not my father wearing blue shorts. Is it?

Speaker 3 Come on.

Speaker 37 Where'd you get them anyway? What are you wearing that for?

Speaker 6 North Carolina.

Speaker 37 We're in Carolina.

Speaker 12 You're the Liverpool fan wearing black and gold.

Speaker 65 Yeah, but you never walk alone, man.

Speaker 6 You know the yellow wall.

Speaker 16 Bill Belichick, you know, his name's on my bicep.

Speaker 6 What do you want?

Speaker 6 True.

Speaker 34 Yeah, it's right there.

Speaker 16 What do you want me to do?

Speaker 49 You got to respect the team, dude.

Speaker 16 Potter Donald Trump.

Speaker 53 That's not true from Boston, right?

Speaker 6 Yeah, but I don't really have a college team.

Speaker 16 Maybe.

Speaker 65 Boston College, no. Notre Dame,

Speaker 1 with Iris College for you.

Speaker 16 Notre Dame's up there.

Speaker 66 You could always.

Speaker 1 Georgia Tech, your school week.

Speaker 47 You're having a go with me.

Speaker 23 Yeah, well, I mean, you live and die with Liverpool, but you also live and die with the WWE, as we all do. They moved WrestleMania back to Vegas.

Speaker 23 Are you pumped about that, or do you kind of wish you were going back to New Orleans? We were in New Orleans for the Super Bowl, where they were saying it was going to be. Great city.

Speaker 23 Don't know if it's fully equipped to have what Vegas had just because of the spectacle that WrestleMania is. What do you think

Speaker 36 of New Orleans is?

Speaker 27 Incredible.

Speaker 51 That's amazing.

Speaker 53 Yeah, we were down there.

Speaker 12 You guys did one. We went to one.

Speaker 1 That was Bourbon Street.

Speaker 24 That was one of like the top five weekends of my life.

Speaker 65 At WrestleMania, what, 32? Was it 33 or something? Was it? I don't even remember. I don't remember.

Speaker 3 Now, I don't know if I guess at this point, yeah, it probably was.

Speaker 1 2018, I think. Okay.

Speaker 46 2018. Okay.

Speaker 40 It was awesome. It was incredible.

Speaker 24 You'll never see Bourbon Street like that any other time of the year.

Speaker 65 That's an insane, insane place.

Speaker 1 You weren't able to be there, Seamus, because you were famous at that time in WWE.

Speaker 1 I was able to just walk around down there. It was incredible.
Every bar was playing entrance music, other people's music, theme music.

Speaker 1 And then there were matches happening in the middle of Bourbon Street. Somebody was dressed up like, let's say, Hulkster Brother.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then Macho, obviously, somebody dressed up as Macho shows up. And then obviously, because it's WrestleMania New Orleans, somebody's dressed like a ref.
They just meet in the middle.

Speaker 16 Crowd makes a ring.

Speaker 22 Crowd makes a ring.

Speaker 1 We're going off the ropes in the middle of this thing.

Speaker 4 One, two, three.

Speaker 1 And then the bar hits Macho man's music i mean in the middle of barbarian also

Speaker 65 hogan put macho over yes that's that's that's yeah it's barbaric it's new all that's the fake hogan put macho over yeah yeah come on we all know that's crazy uh but yeah it was awesome down i fully agree with it but you know love macho it was awesome are you excited to get back to vegas though i felt like vegas was the perfect vegas was incredible vegas is great you know look i'll come out i won't come out during the daytime obviously for a lot of reasons but uh it obviously was a huge hit there this year um that movement it's out of my it's above my pay grade, but you know, either way, it was a success.

Speaker 65 So, they're obviously going to go back again because it was such a huge hit.

Speaker 1 Do you do you operate like a vampire?

Speaker 65 Pretty much, yeah.

Speaker 65 I'm literally on my second can of sunscreen right now.

Speaker 40 I could see it radiating from your eye.

Speaker 65 Basically, about 20 minutes, five minutes before I came on the show, I couldn't see anything.

Speaker 17 I was just like,

Speaker 65 but the beer, you know.

Speaker 43 The beer was like you were, like you were in Dublin, remember?

Speaker 40 It's like that the whole time.

Speaker 11 Great time.

Speaker 65 People grabbing Pat's hand, just walking him around.

Speaker 50 Where are we going? Great show.

Speaker 47 You're going to come over this year.

Speaker 50 I'm coming this year.

Speaker 65 No, you missed a great time. Did you miss a great time?

Speaker 29 One of the greatest cracks of my life.

Speaker 1 That buddy was awesome, though.

Speaker 65 And you've had some great cracks.

Speaker 33 We've had some great cracks.

Speaker 16 I think we should go to double.

Speaker 1 Hey, Sheamus has been on the record of saying that that was a good night, though. You had a good time, too.

Speaker 46 It wasn't just us having a great time.

Speaker 65 I was just warming up and the night was over.

Speaker 69 It was mental.

Speaker 37 Well, your buddy had it.

Speaker 23 I mean, some of the best fashion I've ever seen.

Speaker 24 One of the coolest outfits of all time.

Speaker 23 I actually looked into some stuff post that night because of how cool your buddy is.

Speaker 1 Speaking of outfits, you've gifted AJ something. He has thrown it in the trash.

Speaker 42 I didn't know you were actually coaching the Door Russia, whatever.

Speaker 69 You're talking about it.

Speaker 37 Bruce and Bruce Bruce. I'm just

Speaker 18 a garment.

Speaker 61 I'm sorry to everyone over there.

Speaker 6 Buddy Lush.

Speaker 63 AJ, all you got to say is BVB. There you go.

Speaker 11 BVB.

Speaker 42 I would have worn the full jeans, vest, dress, but it was 150 degrees down here.

Speaker 65 Have you worn that once?

Speaker 42 No, because I'm waiting for a big special.

Speaker 4 Like, maybe I'm trash.

Speaker 42 Oh, no, I know exactly what it's saying.

Speaker 69 I'll send a picture to you.

Speaker 65 It's in Goodwill right now.

Speaker 65 It's on the rock in Goodwill.

Speaker 42 It's going to case, waiting for a big moment to show him.

Speaker 1 Seamus, you were the only one to pick the right answer on college game day. That's right.
I forget what the pick was.

Speaker 1 Georgia Tech.

Speaker 72 Over Florida State, yeah.

Speaker 69 Notre Dame and

Speaker 10 Notre State.

Speaker 1 And Notre Dame in the national championship.

Speaker 65 Yeah, that was so close. I mean, obviously they got to the national championships, but unlucky.
Still had it.

Speaker 37 Not exactly unlucky, but you know.

Speaker 65 Unlucky. I'm going to go with Unlucky AJ.

Speaker 63 That's

Speaker 23 only guy that had a team in this year.

Speaker 1 I don't know if anybody was beating,

Speaker 1 bro.

Speaker 34 No, it was a great game.

Speaker 1 I don't know if it was unlucky. I think it was just.

Speaker 65 They're a machine, my game out of the machine.

Speaker 72 All the jungle.

Speaker 65 They're a machine.

Speaker 16 Well,

Speaker 65 are we going back this year again?

Speaker 24 Yeah, game stinks this year.

Speaker 68 What is it?

Speaker 1 Kansas State, Iowa State. I think it's a football game or an NFL game we're going to do.
NFL game, yeah.

Speaker 65 Is it Green Bay against

Speaker 65 Minnesota?

Speaker 37 Is that it? No, it's not. Minnesota or Pittsburgh.
Minnesota.

Speaker 46 Pittsburgh or Minnesota Pittsburgh, right?

Speaker 37 All right.

Speaker 65 I'm actually.

Speaker 40 What's wrong?

Speaker 1 In Germany, Foxy gave me a piece of information.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry, in Ireland, I mean,

Speaker 1 he said there's a SmackDown in Ireland the night before the college football game.

Speaker 12 Or the Big 12 deal, I believe.

Speaker 6 Oh,

Speaker 1 because it's Iowa State, I think, playing.

Speaker 48 Exactly the state is.

Speaker 1 Iowa State, K-State. I don't know if we're going.

Speaker 65 It's not big enough.

Speaker 1 I don't know if we're going.

Speaker 1 I don't have no idea.

Speaker 1 A lot of decisions have to be made there.

Speaker 65 I am not, you're not going to take the brunt of that way, or not at all.

Speaker 1 Yep, I am not the one. Uh, we will move that along, but if we'll definitely end up at the NFL game over, uh, there for sure.

Speaker 65 I will say, though, as uh, I spoke to the Titans as well.

Speaker 65 They're the, I know there's a lot of teams have claimed UK and Ireland as their territory overseas, but Titans are the only one that have claimed Ireland, I believe.

Speaker 65 So I think I might be going over it. No, no, no.
Steelers are both in and out, man. One foot in, one foot out.

Speaker 6 One foot in Ireland.

Speaker 1 The Steelers had representation in Ireland for like four or five years or whatever.

Speaker 50 Did they? Ambassador Irish?

Speaker 3 Yeah, the Rooney.

Speaker 1 He's the ambassador to Ireland. This guy was trying to make.
What are you? What are you even talking about?

Speaker 62 I'm talking about the Titans picking up.

Speaker 1 Rooney was at the game day in Dublin.

Speaker 12 So in luck.

Speaker 30 He was at the game day.

Speaker 66 Quay is a die-hard Steelers.

Speaker 12 I didn't see anybody telling the Titans.

Speaker 35 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 44 The Titans don't claim shit.

Speaker 23 They're grasping for straws.

Speaker 26 Don't believe anything the Tennessee Titans say.

Speaker 5 What the hell? They probably claimed China.

Speaker 65 Patriots.

Speaker 23 The Patriots claim Germany, technically, but you go back through the history, we've had German players.

Speaker 65 Yeah, what German players have you had?

Speaker 56 Sebastian Volmer. One of the greatest of all time.

Speaker 65 Was he American chairman?

Speaker 12 Was he German chairman?

Speaker 65 Straight out of Germany.

Speaker 16 Was he German? He's German.

Speaker 1 Some people aren't European enough over here.

Speaker 16 Gee.

Speaker 23 He's straight off the U-boat, brother.

Speaker 46 He's not some fake German.

Speaker 16 He came over from Germany, similar to.

Speaker 1 I don't know if he came from World War II.

Speaker 6 No, No, but he and M. Lieutenant

Speaker 37 over.

Speaker 65 I don't know. Some of the players on the Patriots these days look like they were in World War I.
They moved so slow.

Speaker 57 That's why Fray came in.

Speaker 12 All right, keep those guys up.

Speaker 46 Seamus, brother, we appreciate you.

Speaker 1 Thank you for stopping by. Thank you, fella.
We appreciate you. Thank you, brother.

Speaker 38 I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 Anything we didn't hit that we need to talk about?

Speaker 16 No, it's great, man.

Speaker 20 Councillor Gloria workouts.

Speaker 65 Got the channel over, got BVB over, got WEO.

Speaker 51 It's great.

Speaker 71 Everything's good.

Speaker 1 You're over. Ladies and gentlemen, are you going to finish your beer?

Speaker 37 Make sure you drink more beers.

Speaker 65 There was more. There's two more there.
Who wants the next one?

Speaker 18 I'm gonna finish.

Speaker 13 What do I look like?

Speaker 1 It's good.

Speaker 24 Yeah, why don't you swing that other one down?

Speaker 16 I mean, are we having a crack right now?

Speaker 12 No, I think we're having a crack now. We're having a bit of a crack right now.

Speaker 65 There you go, bro.

Speaker 1 Now's the crack.

Speaker 71 Cheers, Lots.

Speaker 4 Cheers to the people sitting on the hill, hot as hell.

Speaker 5 Frost.

Speaker 13 Frost. Cheers.

Speaker 1 Slanter Seamus.

Speaker 65 Gourmila Mahagot.

Speaker 30 What? Wait, what did you say?

Speaker 16 Grandma, what?

Speaker 46 Gouramila Mahagot.

Speaker 65 You should know that. You're from Boston.
You got marbles in your mouth?

Speaker 28 What was that?

Speaker 12 No, I know what it is.

Speaker 16 I'm telling everybody else. You just got to go.

Speaker 65 Thank you very much in Irish and Gaelic.

Speaker 12 Say it again, say it again.

Speaker 65 Our native language. Say it again.

Speaker 10 Goromila Mahogats.

Speaker 13 Who?

Speaker 16 Goramila Mahogots.

Speaker 60 Hell yeah, Seamus.

Speaker 49 Me and Seamus said it at the same time.

Speaker 23 We screwed it up.

Speaker 43 Now, you

Speaker 1 stepped over me trying to get a piece of information. I was trying to learn what the actual name was.
Goromilaga. Yeah, Gormilavic.

Speaker 22 No, it's not an Avic.

Speaker 1 It's an Irish thing, and it's not a Serbian thing.

Speaker 1 What score this game? Do we know what's going on?

Speaker 23 3-1 Drip FC.

Speaker 1 That's Johnny Damon's squad.

Speaker 18 Johnny Damon's squad.

Speaker 33 And he's in net right now.

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, it is an absolute honor to be joined by a man who is coaching Dortmouth.

Speaker 1 Bournemouth.

Speaker 1 That's on me.

Speaker 20 Dortmouth.

Speaker 26 Yeah, it's on the mind.

Speaker 1 Bournemouth. They are currently completely defeated after a loss to CONKEFA this morning.
But he is not a man who's defeated. No, no, no.
He made his pro debut in 2006 as a 16-year-old.

Speaker 1 One of the longest-tenured United States of America soccer players of all time and an astute businessman. I believe he's a minority owner of the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 18 Wow.

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, Josie Altator.

Speaker 6 Yeah, Josie.

Speaker 37 Jose!

Speaker 6 Hello, baby, Jose.

Speaker 38 Josie!

Speaker 37 Jose!

Speaker 57 How's it going, man?

Speaker 52 How are you?

Speaker 46 How you doing? Good to see you, buddy.

Speaker 66 The soccer dap roll.

Speaker 37 Yeah, good.

Speaker 3 Love it every time.

Speaker 22 You got a full one, yeah.

Speaker 53 Do you realize that?

Speaker 16 We got a soccer full one.

Speaker 62 Sorry about it.

Speaker 56 Do you realize soccer players normally only do this part?

Speaker 42 It's kind of like golfers.

Speaker 23 It's not a full dap.

Speaker 15 True, golfers do the same thing.

Speaker 55 We're trying to adjust to the community.

Speaker 16 The community.

Speaker 1 We're trying We're trying to be some culture vultures around here and make sure we get the proper depths. It's just one clean ha,

Speaker 8 and then you let go.

Speaker 66 Release. Yeah, which kind of stinks, but definitely.
It's like Stuart Sink, like a golfer.

Speaker 3 To be clear, though, he clearly...

Speaker 23 Yeah, apparently, Debut, you also got a full death?

Speaker 16 Debut got a full one.

Speaker 71 How do they pay attention?

Speaker 1 It's been a fun morning. Yeah, they look like soccer players over there, which is why you gave them soccer dash.

Speaker 6 Brandon and Brandon.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about this morning. You thought your team was going to be good or no?

Speaker 37 What do you mean? Our team is good.

Speaker 16 I didn't think we could.

Speaker 1 I know, I know, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 63 It's our first time out here, and you know, it'll take us some getting used to. But, you know, big shout out to Bill Foley, to Michael B.

Speaker 63 Jordan, all of Bournemouth for entering a team and putting the effort they've put in.

Speaker 43 Listen, this is our record.

Speaker 63 This is a record year for Bournemouth right now. All right.
Most points ever in a season. The team here that's playing is, you know, the 2015 team that got Bournemouth promoted to the Premier League.

Speaker 63 So it's a special event. event, and

Speaker 63 I know they're happy to be out here.

Speaker 1 Okay, I'm pumped to hear all that information.

Speaker 1 The 2015 team's playing.

Speaker 65 A lot of people played.

Speaker 49 Did you guys do any practice beforehand? Did you guys play this?

Speaker 63 They did, you know, but look, they're not full-time players anymore, but they wanted to come out here, represent the brand, represent themselves. And I thought they did a great job.

Speaker 48 I thought so too, by the way.

Speaker 63 It's not easy, you know, you know that. So

Speaker 1 our guys have obviously played in this tournament before. Our guys had three practice games on Monday.
Exactly. Like, I think we learned what TST is last year.

Speaker 1 We came in cold last year, and the reggae rovers beat the hell out of us game one. We had no idea what we were doing.

Speaker 1 I felt like watching your team, they were figuring out the game as the game was going on. Exactly.

Speaker 63 And that's a lot of what this is, right? You know that well. So I'm proud of how we performed the first game.
We got another big one later tonight, and I know the guys will be up for it.

Speaker 1 How do you feel about maybe you playing?

Speaker 1 You don't play anybody?

Speaker 63 I wish. You know, I actually injured myself.
I was with my family on a Disney cruise, man.

Speaker 37 Oh, hell yeah.

Speaker 34 Were you going to play in this?

Speaker 1 I was thinking about it, yeah.

Speaker 46 I would have loved to.

Speaker 63 I would have put you to the sword out there.

Speaker 16 I would not have got on the field. I would not have gotten on the field.

Speaker 43 I thought you were on the field. What happened?

Speaker 1 Well, last year I was. I ripped my hip flexor.
I felt like that's good. That's it.

Speaker 4 That's good last year.

Speaker 1 You know why that happened?

Speaker 63 Why? Because you weren't training at so agility.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is. Let's talk about you being a business person.

Speaker 63 And this is for you, by the way.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 63 This is, I want to give you this.

Speaker 50 I got two gifts for you. Thank you.

Speaker 1 This is Bourne Miff's

Speaker 46 official U.S.

Speaker 42 Jersey tour shirt.

Speaker 63 Michael B inspired. So take a look at that.

Speaker 1 Smokestack inspired.

Speaker 22 You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 We got this for you with the last name on the back. We got to take care of our people.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 71 We got that.

Speaker 2 And then I have this for you.

Speaker 63 This is where you should have trained.

Speaker 63 That's why you got injured. I know, I know.
You need to be at Sogility. It is down the road from you.
There's no excuse. We will host you.
We'd love to have you. Okay.
So this is for you to

Speaker 63 come down, train with us, and we'll fix that hip flexor.

Speaker 1 Okay, so let's talk about that. You own Shagility.
Yes. Okay, I assume you own part of Bournemouth.

Speaker 1 I assume there's other things. And then you're also a minority owner of the Buffalo Bills.
Brand new. I think there's some other companies that you're like potential investor in.

Speaker 1 When did you decide that you're going to be an investor? And is this all from soccer money?

Speaker 46 Legit.

Speaker 67 We're trying to figure it out.

Speaker 38 Is he pocket watching?

Speaker 71 That's crazy.

Speaker 12 I've never seen him. No, no.

Speaker 53 When you're curious, he's kind of crushing it.

Speaker 37 Come on, man.

Speaker 5 I know, but the Buffalo Bills, though,

Speaker 1 that is an unbelievable.

Speaker 1 When we saw your name get dropped in here, I'm like, Josie Althador is an owner of an NFL team? Because you're young.

Speaker 37 You know, you're young.

Speaker 15 And it's like, how?

Speaker 1 That's unbelievable.

Speaker 63 And then you start looking at all the other shit that you're invested in it's like you're a good businessman josie how long has it been like that and what has always been the plan no first of all i appreciate that um and for me it started with my dad so my dad uh he actually worked at fedex 30 years but you know he always instilled in me the idea of you know owning something right and you know we started in real estate in boca so started with a small real estate company there that my dad started and showed me the business from a young age.

Speaker 63 And, you know, ever since that, he's instilled to me the value of that.

Speaker 1 And, you know, I kind of took took it and ran with it and it's been one of my biggest passions for sure i love watching athletes dominate in the business world because the suits they think we're dumb you know that josie i love big slow no they do

Speaker 1 you need to realize that that they do you need to realize that they do we've heard them on the record and off the record say things about athletes and stuff so remember that whenever you're in there working i respect it and i appreciate you doing that the only thing i'll say is is like you know Now not playing, you have to understand what it's like for them, right?

Speaker 63 They put 25, 30 years into their field, went to school.

Speaker 63 So I think, you know, as athletes, we got to be a little bit humble when we're transitioning, you know, take that athlete hat off and kind of relearn how to make an effect on society.

Speaker 63 And that's part of business.

Speaker 1 But keep the athlete work ethic. Exactly.
Yeah, yeah. That'll kind of...

Speaker 63 That's synonymous to me in the business world. You know, that discipline.
It's important.

Speaker 1 Agreed. Okay, let's talk about some discipline.
Let's do it. Is our U.S.

Speaker 20 Ven's national team ever going to win?

Speaker 16 No, this is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 Look, USA hat. USA hat.
Thanks, man. USA hat.
I watch you on TBO say. Thank you you for your service to the United States of America.
I appreciate it. It was always cool to watch you out there.

Speaker 1 And you played 110 caps for Team USA, is what Wikipedia said. Felt like I saw you a thousand times.
Every time I watched, you were playing. So I respect the shit out of that.

Speaker 1 But with this team, obviously we've got a new coach, Coach Paunch. Yeah, Pete Paunch.

Speaker 40 And every time Paunch leaves his club, that club goes on to win great things.

Speaker 1 A lot of people say he maybe built that club to have success, but you're saying when he leaves, they win.

Speaker 20 Three different teams.

Speaker 1 Nonetheless, I feel like we've had a lot of good players.

Speaker 1 I feel like we have done our job of hyping up the United States of America. Without a doubt.
We firmly believe we're winning the World Cup whenever we play in it.

Speaker 1 We firmly believe we're winning the Concafa whenever we're playing in the Concafa.

Speaker 20 Gold Cup.

Speaker 1 The Cold Cup, the Caribou, the Carabao.

Speaker 1 If America was playing in TST, I'd be pulling for them against Concafa, even though I love Concafa. And maybe some of the Conquefa boys need to be on Team USA.

Speaker 15 And maybe everything would kind of change.

Speaker 34 Backport.

Speaker 1 But why do you think Team USA is where it is? Because Because I grew up playing soccer. I remember there was like a project 2012 or 2012.
There's a project 40.

Speaker 2 Project 40.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was all these things. So I grew up hearing about all these things.
And the future of U.S. soccer is going to be great.
But we've never really got to. Why do you think that is the case?

Speaker 1 And do you think we're closer than ever?

Speaker 16 Or what do you think?

Speaker 63 You know, I think we have to approach it in a sensible way. Look, I think...
As the United States, it's natural. We want to win.
We want to be the best at everything.

Speaker 63 But I think we have to understand our league domestically is 30 years old, right? Like, you look at the age of of the Premier League, the NFL.

Speaker 63 So soccer in this country is a little bit behind the eight ball. But what we're seeing at events like this, right, young kids, it's starting to really resonate.

Speaker 63 And I think we're starting to improve across the board.

Speaker 63 And with things like Sogility, with different things popping up where we're trying to get kids involved and keep them in the game, I think that side is important.

Speaker 63 And so I get the frustration, but it's a work in progress. And I believe in those boys.
I know them all well. And I know they're doing what they need to do to be ready for next year.

Speaker 1 How about Ponch? Do you believe in Ponch?

Speaker 46 Yes, they are.

Speaker 63 And I believe in Pochitino. Look, you know, I credit the Federation.
They took, you know, kind of,

Speaker 63 you know, they tried something different right before the World Cup. They were really putting all their chips on the table.
And I think you have to commend that.

Speaker 63 And I think Pochitino needs our support. We got to get behind him.
And again, it's going to be a celebration, man. The World Cup in the United States hopefully has

Speaker 63 effects for years to come.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I hope we win it.

Speaker 16 Are we going to at least make this a pool play?

Speaker 57 Knockout round.

Speaker 37 Knockout round.

Speaker 1 I mean, historically, we've done pretty well.

Speaker 63 I mean, obviously, 18 wasn't great, but like looking at other World Cups, 2014, 18, or not 18, sorry, 22, the guys had a good showing in Qatar. So, I anticipate a lot of the same, even more.

Speaker 65 The support will be important from all of you.

Speaker 63 You know, making sure you get out there and watch and support the team.

Speaker 22 And, you know, it'll be cool to celebrate soccer first.

Speaker 16 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 23 You don't want to just show up for nothing.

Speaker 29 I mean, you can't do that again.

Speaker 24 Josie, we're getting beat by...

Speaker 28 Puerto Rico by three goals.

Speaker 27 I don't think that's ever happened, though.

Speaker 72 That's ever happened.

Speaker 37 I'm still watching it. Puerto Rico.

Speaker 15 I think it was Guam actually.

Speaker 37 That didn't happen.

Speaker 67 You hear about Gio Reyna. Why isn't Gio Reyna playing?

Speaker 15 He's one of the best players.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's a lot of drama always around the U.S. national team.

Speaker 1 It seems like that's been that way forever, but I think that's soccer as a whole.

Speaker 30 Which turns out here,

Speaker 1 you got some guys rolling around out here, even at TST. There's always the drama.

Speaker 63 A lot of Concafa players were.

Speaker 12 Oh, come on. What?

Speaker 63 Sorry.

Speaker 1 They're Bournemouth players.

Speaker 65 I'm just saying.

Speaker 63 You got the stage set up. You know, they really, I don't know.

Speaker 71 It was tough for us.

Speaker 1 The Bournemouth players, the Bournemouth players, were starting to hack us a little bit in the second half.

Speaker 63 Yeah, they were starting to take it a little bit more seriously.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I don't think you guys knew what you signed up for with our team, though. Our team would have fought every one of your guys.
No questions asked.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, they would have got banned from this tournament. That's our type of guys.

Speaker 63 No, trust me, I know Brecht and I know a lot of your guys well, but

Speaker 37 you know, Brecht, Brett certainly would have elbow somebody in the face, for sure, which is awesome.

Speaker 3 They weren't here to be violent.

Speaker 10 The Arena League boys are, though.

Speaker 63 Yeah, but I think it was good. I think, you you know, our guys really enjoyed it.
You know, it's a new experience for them.

Speaker 63 And I thought after the game, you saw even the Concava guys coming over, giving tips and tricks. So that's what it's all about, too.

Speaker 1 The Arena League guys have such an advantage. Big time.
This is like their thing.

Speaker 27 Exactly. So, Brady.

Speaker 1 Is this your first one at a time?

Speaker 63 This is my first time physically being here. Yeah, man.
This is crazy. It's beautiful to see all the people coming out, just hanging out.

Speaker 1 I love the setup. It's really cool.
I'm excited for you to learn about the... I think you'll be much, I think you'll be, not that you're more invested or could be more invested this year.

Speaker 1 I'm saying, whenever you think about this and take this in for the next year, I'm excited to see what you think about it. Yes, because the Arena League boys.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 18 They are this whole place.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Every single game winner from previous tournaments, every big play, arena dudes. These arena dudes run it.

Speaker 1 And then if you can get the outdoor big field guys in there with them, it's like that's what we learned from Konca.

Speaker 23 Yeah, last year your team was built for outdoor soccer, but this year it's built for this style.

Speaker 1 Arena League.

Speaker 15 Yeah. This is Arena League.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's that's awesome. It's a beautiful sport.

Speaker 63 No, it's great. And you know, it's funny you say that.
Like, that's what we need more events like this, highlighting different players at different levels of the game, you know?

Speaker 1 So, getting a lot of people who are Kings League going on, is that what it's called?

Speaker 21 Kings League?

Speaker 63 Yeah, there's another small side league. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's a bunch of these like small side. I think it's big time streaming over in Europe right now.

Speaker 14 I think it's uh, soccer's awesome.

Speaker 1 Yep, Josie, you've given your life to soccer, and we appreciate the hell out of you.

Speaker 15 Appreciate you for

Speaker 46 the support.

Speaker 1 We get this agility.

Speaker 75 I've never felt like this before. It's like you just get me.

Speaker 75 I feel like my true self with you. Does that sound crazy? And it doesn't hurt that you're gorgeous.

Speaker 75 Okay, that's it. I'm taking you home with me.

Speaker 75 I mean, you can't find shoes this good just anywhere. Find a shoe for every you from brands you love, like Birkenstock, Nike, Adidas, and more at your DSW store or dsw.com.

Speaker 76 I am so excited for this spa day.

Speaker 11 Candles lit, music on, hot tub warm and ready.

Speaker 76 And then my chronic hives come back. Again, in the middle of my spa day.
What a wet blanket. Looks like another spell of itchy red skin.

Speaker 76 If you have chronic spontaneous urticaria or CSU, there is a different treatment option. Hives during my next spa day? Not if I can help it.
Learn more at treatmyhives.com.

Speaker 1 It's happening in beautiful fashion. There's a soccer tournament happening here in Kerry, North Carolina.

Speaker 1 If you've never been to Kerry, North Carolina, I'm not sure what exactly you would come for other than a tournament of some sort for your kids.

Speaker 1 Whenever you get here, just know that this place is beautiful. The most pristine grass that I have ever seen in any complex in the history.
It's set up beautifully. They're hospitable as hell here.

Speaker 1 The only thing you got to worry about is the fact that it is 250 degrees down here. We haven't had a chance to have the cute, as Marty Smith calls

Speaker 1 the barbecue. We will certainly dive into that.
Went to a steakhouse last night. It was the worst service we've ever had in our entire life.
But we won't hold that against the local people.

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 1 We will hold that against the person that confirmed our reservation

Speaker 1 that didn't tell the rest of the restaurant that we were coming. And the rest of the restaurant thought they were done working for the night.
And then they were told, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 Actually, most work you've had all day is coming right down the pike so we will not judge anybody around here for the horrendous experience two thumbs done i wish i had two more hands so i could give that place four thumbs down i wish but with that being said beautiful town uh-huh cannot wait to explore a little bit more today and the concafa soccer club is currently undefeated in tst 3-1 win this morning over bournemouth which was led by thank you.

Speaker 1 That's spattering applause.

Speaker 1 That's spattering applause for people.

Speaker 6 Oh, oh, oh,

Speaker 1 yeah, it's a catchy tune. We got a great team.
I'm not 100% sure if I'll be able to be here for the entirety of this tournament. Sure.
That is still a conversation.

Speaker 1 Money in the banks on Saturday night in Los Angeles. I've been invited to a place that I think is like a must-go type situation.

Speaker 1 I think it's a must-go situation. So I'll figure that out.
John Cena, you can't see me over my left shoulder for the brand over my right. And the boys are here.

Speaker 8 One half of the hammer.

Speaker 16 Gone.

Speaker 1 Cowboys, AP Tone is here. Tone, tonight, the NHL Stanley Cup finals.
Drop the puck. What should we be looking for, and what are you betting on?

Speaker 17 So the Oilers are currently minus 120 to win tonight. They've been minus 125 all week long.

Speaker 17 Fun fact, they are also minus 120, minus 125 to win the whole series. So same odds game one as it is the entire series.

Speaker 17 You have the defending, reigning Stanley Cup champions and the Florida Panthers going against Connor McDavid, who is universally known as the most skilled, talented, probably best player in the NHL right now.

Speaker 37 It's going to be in the maybe in history.

Speaker 16 For sure. Could be.
Has to win a skill player.

Speaker 17 Maybe most skilled.

Speaker 16 History.

Speaker 1 Maybe the most skilled player in the history of hockey.

Speaker 17 But he's not better, obviously, not better than Wayno or Sid or Mario.

Speaker 38 Stoner.

Speaker 1 I agree. Has to win a cup, has to win multiple cups.
But whenever they talk about just like skill, just pure speech.

Speaker 34 Speed, speed, speed, edge speed.

Speaker 1 He's also not scared to be physical a little bit yeah he is like he's the guy for the nhl this is a home run that they got the best player in the world playing in the stanley cup finals again taking on the stanley cup champion matthew kachuk led florida panthers matthew kachuk obviously wins over all of the united states of america during the four four nations

Speaker 1 instead of the all-star games where he just fights all of canada immediately after them booing our national anthem that was a massive success he's already the champ they send down marshand who is beloved or hated, depending upon what city you are from.

Speaker 1 He goes down there. Big market feels like.
Big marketing opportunities, it feels like, with Connor McGee's on the big stage. Let's go to the toxic table at Boston Connor and at Ty Schmidt.

Speaker 1 Con man, obviously the Bruins used to be good at hockey, used to understand what it was like to play at this time of year, just like us Pittsburgh Penguins fans. It's a wonderful thing.

Speaker 1 But the seven series, though, how does that play into this entire game?

Speaker 34 I got to go seven.

Speaker 23 And, you know, the B's haven't been as terrible as the Penguins for a long time. This is my first.

Speaker 1 That's not the question.

Speaker 33 Okay, yeah, no, no. I just want to clarify.

Speaker 23 This is the Bruins' first season kind of fading into irrelevance, but that's going to be much quicker than the Penguins. Seven games.

Speaker 49 Is there a question?

Speaker 23 I think it's pretty clear this is going seven games.

Speaker 33 Well, the Panthers are so good.

Speaker 23 The way they play is incredible. The way the Oilers play, you mentioned McDavid, you know, Dry Seidel, who's amazing.
Hyman, Nugent Hopkins, they have so many studs all over. Amanda Kane, Nick Nurse.

Speaker 23 Yeah, Nick Nurse played coaches basketball, but Darnell Nurse, you get it. They have so many dudes across the board, and so do the Panthers.
I think that's why this is even better than last year.

Speaker 23 You know, bigger names, more

Speaker 23 people on both teams. I think Seth Jones, six or seven guys from the Panthers didn't play

Speaker 23 last year. There's a similar amount as there are on the Oilers who are kind of new to this type of series.
But I personally, I'm leaning Oilers. It feels like it's McDavid's year.

Speaker 23 It feels like the Panthers, as awesome as they are.

Speaker 23 Maybe it's not meant to be a back-to-back situation.

Speaker 61 Maybe you should take off that hat.

Speaker 50 Maybe you should take off that hat with the American flag on it since she's picking the Oilers.

Speaker 32 Oh, no, this has nothing to do with.

Speaker 23 I mean, wait, is your captain American or Finnish?

Speaker 25 He's Finnish. You probably don't even know.

Speaker 67 He's Finnish.

Speaker 37 He's Finnish.

Speaker 12 I mean, look at the French.

Speaker 37 Barkin' Finnish.

Speaker 47 I thought he was from Jersey.

Speaker 32 I thought Barkin was Russian.

Speaker 46 No, no, no.

Speaker 23 His name isn't actually Ed Barkini.

Speaker 52 It's Barkon.

Speaker 37 Was that me?

Speaker 73 He thought he was from Jersey.

Speaker 23 It's not like, you know, the T-Wolves called Mark Dago, no.

Speaker 25 It's not something like that.

Speaker 1 That's not his name.

Speaker 18 He's a thunder coach.

Speaker 1 Ty has finished his second baby to that baby Ty.

Speaker 8 Baby, baby Ty.

Speaker 17 Connor actually said earlier today, he said, hey, if we need to talk about the Thunder Coach, he likes to actually go by Mark Dago.

Speaker 16 I love that.

Speaker 44 I didn't say that. I didn't say that.

Speaker 1 Carrie, North Carolina, you can yell at from the mountains up.

Speaker 12 Yeah, he might be ready to go.

Speaker 16 I'll buy it again.

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 23 It's also not Mark Dago.

Speaker 55 We start venturing down from that northeast.

Speaker 45 We settle in Myrtle Beach.

Speaker 22 We settle in all these Carolinas down to Florida.

Speaker 1 I don't think so. I've been looking around.

Speaker 16 I don't think so.

Speaker 5 It's been wonderful, right?

Speaker 23 I mean, it makes sense why Ruth Chris sucked last. Oh, shit, we weren't saving the name.

Speaker 37 It makes sense why the restaurant sucked last night because

Speaker 44 there weren't any Italians per se.

Speaker 23 But

Speaker 23 it is kind of a different type of thing.

Speaker 26 He wasn't Italian?

Speaker 44 Red? No, no. Red Baker?

Speaker 37 No.

Speaker 66 No, he wasn't.

Speaker 29 He actually used to work for La Fay now.

Speaker 23 He runs Ruth Chris on Tuesday nights. We'll see if it continues.

Speaker 16 Hopefully.

Speaker 1 Live, not with us at dinner last night.

Speaker 1 College football national champion, Super Bowl winner. Father of 10 AJ Hawk.

Speaker 1 AJ, you missed the doozy last night.

Speaker 42 Should we run it back tonight after the 630 game, you think?

Speaker 21 I don't know if we'll ever go to that place again.

Speaker 23 Fats and batteries and socks, baby.

Speaker 16 No, we're not rioting.

Speaker 16 Yeah, we're not rioting.

Speaker 6 We're not rioting.

Speaker 58 It's Little Town, man.

Speaker 16 I love Little Town.

Speaker 1 With that being said, AJ, your brother-in-law has won the Stanley Cup before. You've been a part of the entire...

Speaker 1 Oh, no, Drip FC.

Speaker 45 4-2.

Speaker 13 Man.

Speaker 23 Letting him back in.

Speaker 24 Anytime you can squeeze one past Santucci, you know you're doing something right.

Speaker 50 Are we in target score time yet?

Speaker 26 Is that a knee on the table?

Speaker 20 No.

Speaker 52 Corner. Is that a bad knee?

Speaker 58 Is that the bad?

Speaker 19 We are going to play.

Speaker 46 We are in target score, yes.

Speaker 58 Oh, shit.

Speaker 18 Nothing worse.

Speaker 1 These pints are pretty good, boys.

Speaker 54 They are delicious.

Speaker 1 Did you guys all drink?

Speaker 30 How about we get one by second one, yeah?

Speaker 55 It'd be a shame if we got any more.

Speaker 1 Trip FC is in control of the ball. Whoever gets to

Speaker 1 five goals will win this particular game. Currently, 4-2, the team that has the ball right now.

Speaker 1 The other team that has Corona on their back, Club America, Club America has the ability to come back and win this if they were able to get the five goals before Drip FC.

Speaker 17 Ivanovich is always going to shoot it.

Speaker 1 That guy has a quad tattoo that is electrifying. That he was showcasing in warm-ups, the man that just missed that shot right there.

Speaker 1 Now, if Club America scores three goals, they'll win this game. All Drip FC has to do is score one.
Goalie's out.

Speaker 6 Shipping one over South.

Speaker 6 Oh.

Speaker 1 Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Speaker 8 Santouch got caught out kitting a hot dog.

Speaker 6 Tucci!

Speaker 46 Club America!

Speaker 50 Holy shit!

Speaker 12 From their own end!

Speaker 32 Come on, Santouchi!

Speaker 1 All of a sudden, target score time is 4-3.

Speaker 1 Here's the replay.

Speaker 1 From his own end, he says, give me that. Santouch

Speaker 4 can't reach.

Speaker 35 I've been two points. Four to three.

Speaker 1 Target score time.

Speaker 66 Yeah, should have been two points.

Speaker 1 All Club America

Speaker 1 needs now is two more goals. Shoot it, Tooch.
Drip FC only needs one.

Speaker 51 They're taking a player off here, I believe.

Speaker 1 We are three minutes into target score time, so now they will sub one player off from each team. It was seven on seven.
Now,

Speaker 1 it's five on five, I was told.

Speaker 22 We missed an entire three minutes.

Speaker 1 Can you call a timeout in soccer? No. I think we do have a timeout.

Speaker 64 Okay.

Speaker 34 I think we do.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 17 In 11-on-11, I believe.

Speaker 16 No.

Speaker 1 Santouch with the ball in the back.

Speaker 21 This is what we were talking about earlier.

Speaker 1 Goalie needs to be able to play his feet.

Speaker 1 Soccer Dave up front. He's an influencer.
Great soccer player. Fun to watch right there with the ball.
Pivoting.

Speaker 74 Go.

Speaker 6 Oh, that thing bent down.

Speaker 16 What is that?

Speaker 15 It was a deflection. It was a deflection.

Speaker 45 What does he do?

Speaker 17 Like, trick shot videos?

Speaker 1 Yeah, he does like cool stuff.

Speaker 16 Big shot, Brad? Huh?

Speaker 1 No, he's not Brad Johnson.

Speaker 50 Bad priority button. Big shot, Brad.

Speaker 1 Drip FC with a corner.

Speaker 66 So is that what Drip FC is?

Speaker 23 A lot of intranet guys?

Speaker 46 Or is he like the one?

Speaker 61 Have you spotted Johnny Damon yet?

Speaker 1 I don't know. I wonder.
Guy with the thigh tap, probably some sort of Ivanovich? I don't know if that was out. I'm literally sitting right down the line, too.

Speaker 14 Should have asked Van David.

Speaker 3 Does the full ball have to go out or just

Speaker 17 We talked to the rest before the game. You told them they weren't doing any good.

Speaker 1 No, I told them they're going to do a good job. I'll tell them.

Speaker 50 They had good boots on.

Speaker 1 23 here. 23 that is

Speaker 1 playing front left for

Speaker 42 just got an angle to take a shot.

Speaker 24 Yeah, but Santouch can't get on position again.

Speaker 1 Currently five on five.

Speaker 1 Oh, Tooch. The team in blue needs two goals.
The team in white Santouch.

Speaker 6 Oh, Tooch.

Speaker 1 Tooch had a lot of space and opportunity. They might have let him do that because he is a goalie.

Speaker 50 We heard you, AJ. I know.

Speaker 1 Now, this team in blue here, Club America, they need to score two goals to win this game. Target score time.
It is currently 4-3.

Speaker 1 Drip FC. Johnny Damon

Speaker 1 owns Drip FC. Yes, that Johnny Damon, who is very much known for.

Speaker 24 Yeah, absolute legend with the Boston Red Sox, Kansas City Royals, and most notably the New York Yankees.

Speaker 23 Not true. Not true.
Most notably, the Boston Red Sox.

Speaker 23 He reversed the curse in 2004 after being down. Johnny Damon is a legend in Boston.

Speaker 46 What did he do with that game, Connor?

Speaker 23 He had a grand slam and then another ding-dong later on in the game. Love Johnny Damon forever.

Speaker 1 And they get a ding-dong here in Target score time. That's all they need.

Speaker 25 They might get a ding-dong.

Speaker 23 I don't know if they're going to be able to get it done with Oluda.

Speaker 24 Yeah, I mean, it's tough to beat Satin Touch when he's got some defenders in front, and it's just everyone knows it, you know.

Speaker 1 I wonder if the Club America team, who has scored two goals now in this target score time, are all Arena League boys.

Speaker 23 Yeah, something I'm noticing with both these teams, Pat, and maybe you can speak to this: their benches are not big enough. They do not have enough players.
Club America looks like they have 12 guys.

Speaker 1 Game one here, obviously, not that big of a threat. Game two, game three, not having a deep bench will bite you directly in the ass.

Speaker 15 Oh, what a play.

Speaker 3 Oh, equitable!

Speaker 1 What a save! What a save by

Speaker 37 Specs.

Speaker 46 He just got a bitch. Spec huge.

Speaker 1 I think he got hit there. There's a big-time time save by Specs down there for Club America.
I mean, he ate that one in the face, I do believe.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 24 Broken nose, broken jaw, maybe.

Speaker 9 He doesn't care.

Speaker 16 Nope. That's why they call it the ball.
Boom.

Speaker 8 What a save.

Speaker 30 That saved the game.

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now as target score time continues. I did not know.
I actually forgot that he was watching us do all of this while wasting his life.

Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, three times Stanley Cup champion. St.
Louis. Kid.

Speaker 53 Patty Maruk.

Speaker 37 Yeah, Patty.

Speaker 1 Hey, sorry we wasted your time, lads. So sorry about that.

Speaker 5 Oh, no. Oh, no.

Speaker 12 We can't hear you.

Speaker 1 You want to talk about wasting time? We did that, bud.

Speaker 52 Rig. Hello.

Speaker 6 There you are.

Speaker 6 How are you? Yeah.

Speaker 78 Thanks for wasting my time.

Speaker 37 All right.

Speaker 1 It's a good soccer tournament down here, Patty Maroon. Maybe we'll have you on the team next year to add a little physicality.

Speaker 1 You'd fit in well with our group, especially because you have that chompy and pedigree. Let's talk about that.
Obviously, tonight, the NHL Stanley Cup finals puck drops.

Speaker 1 Connor McDavid needs to win this for his legacy. I hate that we even have that conversation, but Connor McDavid is clearly the best player on earth right now.
How everybody should talk.

Speaker 1 And winning a cup is just something that has to happen alongside of that. Or the Florida Panthers looking to become like the eighth dynastic run saying they went back to back.

Speaker 1 What's the bigger talking point? What matters more? Who's motivated more, you think, Big Rig?

Speaker 78 Oh, I think, yeah. I mean, when Connor, yeah,

Speaker 78 To ever step foot. You know, obviously, I'm not taking away Wayne Gretzky, but obviously Wayne's

Speaker 78 an elite player. But generational, you know, right now, Connor McDavid will probably go down as one of the best players to play.

Speaker 78 And I think this will, if he needs to win a Stanley Cup, yes, I think it will stamp his legacy even, you know, higher.

Speaker 78 But there's times where Connor's probably going to have this opportunity multiple times, right? But I think if he wins this, yes, this will stamp his legacy right to where he needs to go.

Speaker 78 But we're talking about Florida Panthers, though, a team that's getting in the way with that. And they're going to be trying to be the next team to go back-to-back.

Speaker 78 They went back to three Stanley Cups in a row, and they're trying to win two in a row right now. So they're in the way right now.
A good team that's pretty healthy right now.

Speaker 78 And it's going to be a hard task for Connor and the guys.

Speaker 1 Isn't it crazy to just think about the greatness that's happening? Kachuk said on our show, I think, or maybe somebody else's, I forget. He said, We're clearly the two best teams in hockey race.

Speaker 15 Yeah, clearly.

Speaker 1 He was like, Everybody kind of knows that we're the two best

Speaker 10 Patty, Patty.

Speaker 37 We don't know.

Speaker 16 Big crowd reaction.

Speaker 6 We're going to take a PK.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I think there was a big foul, Patty.
I think there was a big foul. Here's a replay.

Speaker 15 Oh, pushing it back.

Speaker 1 Oh, is that a penalty?

Speaker 29 It's absolute bushling. Looks like a flop.

Speaker 1 I think he's got a penalty to win this.

Speaker 6 Wait a minute, Patty Maroon.

Speaker 64 No red card.

Speaker 16 Don't be calling for each other.

Speaker 1 Patty, don't be doing this.

Speaker 16 Oh, we got a penalty, Patty Maroon. Wow.

Speaker 1 All right, do you think he scores or do you think the goalie saves it, Pat Maroon?

Speaker 78 He scores.

Speaker 1 Okay, that would win it. Yep.
For Drip FC.

Speaker 1 Number 10 for Drip FC. Is that Leo Messi?

Speaker 3 Is that Leo? Yeah.

Speaker 42 What do you do? You pick a side?

Speaker 66 Right or left or what?

Speaker 1 I would go, I always go as hard as I possibly can, right half of net. Okay, but he's probably gonna go precision!

Speaker 47 Big save!

Speaker 1 Big save! Have America stays alive!

Speaker 1 What a save by specs down there.

Speaker 24 That was a very pully.

Speaker 6 Is he guessing?

Speaker 18 You gotta guess.

Speaker 1 Goalie tries to read.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 1 Because you can kind of read somebody's approach. You can kind of do that.
The goalie, obviously, I think he was a reacting goalie. Some people react, some people guess.

Speaker 1 So I think Schooter was hoping for a guesser he was a reactor got his ass you get it it wasn't the best shot what's that it wasn't the best shot

Speaker 1 right there he was hoping it to guess the other way i think i think he was hoping

Speaker 1 top bid yeah do you you watch soccer all the time who's your team no i don't okay i knew what you say he was hockey all right well your prediction game is 0 for 1 here you said he'd score the goal he said

Speaker 1 when you talk about connor mcdavid you just said something there uh he's probably the best player ever is it like, do all hockey people talk about that? Like, just how absurd he is on the ice?

Speaker 1 Because I think for the NHL, great news that he's on prime time in the Stanley Cup final to watch. Looks like he's going a different speed.
Is that what it is, or what is it about him?

Speaker 78 Yeah, I mean, I think it's hockey IQ. He thinks the game faster than a lot of people think the game.
He's one step faster than, you know, the normal average NHL player.

Speaker 78 And there's a lot of guys like that, the Kucheroffs, the McClements, the Crosby's.

Speaker 78 I mean, there's a list of guys that go down dry sidel that just have that hockey IQ that think one step faster than a normal NHL hockey player.

Speaker 78 But his quickness and the way he can turn on a dime, the way he can do things,

Speaker 78 you know, his edge work, you know, he's so dynamic. Look at how dynamic that is.
And I think his first two steps, three steps, he kind of fools a lot of defenders.

Speaker 78 He puts pucks in a lot of different areas in their feet and their triangle and their stick.

Speaker 1 where it makes it very difficult to defend.

Speaker 78 So,

Speaker 51 you know,

Speaker 78 he's one of the best and generational.

Speaker 1 I can't wait to watch him tonight. And also, Club America has tied it up in target score time.

Speaker 1 It was 4-1 going into target score time. Now, we are at 4-4.
It's the first one to five. Remember, the way these games end down here, Patty Maroon, is it's always a walk-off.

Speaker 1 Whatever the leading team has, you add one goal. That is now the target score.
Whoever gets there first wins. Club America was down three.
Now they're tied. All they need is one goal.

Speaker 1 It's three three on three in Kerry, North Carolina. They have a field player with a pinnion.
He is acting as the goalie. Let's go ahead and get an extra couple feet on the ball.

Speaker 1 Soccer Dave is in for his team when it's three on three. He must be a great player.
Back to the goalie. They would try to pick apart.

Speaker 1 There's a new rule that you can't hold it for eight seconds anymore.

Speaker 12 Oh, that's a great pay.

Speaker 1 People used to sit with the ball for eight seconds. It was very boring, just waiting for the other team to attack.
It was kind of a standstill.

Speaker 22 Soccer Dave went for the win.

Speaker 1 Dave specs with another massive save. Patty Maroon, it's getting into the game.

Speaker 37 Is this a new league?

Speaker 78 What's going on here? Is this a new league?

Speaker 62 What's going on?

Speaker 1 It's a once-a-year tournament called TST. It's called the Soccer Tournament.
You remember TBT, the basketball one?

Speaker 78 Yeah, the basketball, yeah.

Speaker 1 They do it for soccer. It's called TST.

Speaker 1 And it's like three times bigger than the basketball one with fans, teams, everything. Million dollars on the line.
It's a huge ordeal.

Speaker 78 Shock, you're not playing.

Speaker 1 Well, my team won this morning, Patty.

Speaker 5 Oh.

Speaker 1 Kong Keifa is our name, which is a playoff.

Speaker 78 You want an extra million in for the boys to win or no?

Speaker 22 I am paying the boys. Drip FC

Speaker 1 scores in target score time after an epic clash with Club America.

Speaker 4 Oh, they're coming over.

Speaker 53 Drip FC, the boys.

Speaker 8 I like Drip FC.

Speaker 5 I hope we see you in the finals, brother. Come on, man.

Speaker 57 That was awesome.

Speaker 37 Patty F.

Speaker 1 Wow. What a win for Drip FC.

Speaker 37 Patty Maroon.

Speaker 53 Pretty electrifying.

Speaker 37 Don't you think?

Speaker 23 That was electric.

Speaker 17 We always had a commander's stadium situation.

Speaker 1 They were just rocking on that glass.

Speaker 16 You can't be doing that.

Speaker 1 Hey, great work, whoever put this

Speaker 22 ESPN folks, production folks.

Speaker 8 Yeah, well done.

Speaker 15 Put the stage through.

Speaker 37 Well done.

Speaker 1 That could have been bad.

Speaker 37 Big time. Don't bad.

Speaker 20 Don't pull on that.

Speaker 6 I know now who actually is getting scared.

Speaker 15 I know I am.

Speaker 46 I was watching as it was taking place.

Speaker 1 AJ has a question for you, Patty. What a winner for Drip FC and Johnny Damon.

Speaker 42 Yeah, Johnny Damon is definitely happy. But Patty, when you talk about Conor McDavid, I'm thinking with hockey, you play football and basketball here.

Speaker 42 When you have a generational talent, a lot of people say, hey, just don't let this guy beat you. We need to force someone else to beat us.
Can you do that with Conor David?

Speaker 42 McDavid, are you able to find a way?

Speaker 30 Easy.

Speaker 23 This guy just came off.

Speaker 42 I mean, I almost saw a guy die here. Give this thing a second.

Speaker 42 Can you take Connor McDavid away and force the other guys to beat you?

Speaker 78 Yeah, I mean, you can. Are you asking, like, can you win without Conor McDavid?

Speaker 78 Try to cut out there.

Speaker 58 Well, yeah,

Speaker 64 we've got a lot of moving parts going on.

Speaker 42 I'm saying, can you focus on him and say, double him, do whatever it takes to actually take Conor McDavid away? Is that possible in hockey with a guy as good as he is?

Speaker 78 I mean, it's possible, yeah. You can have a guy that can shut him down.
And, you know, it's not like basketball. It's like one-on-one.

Speaker 78 football, there's a lot of one-on-one matches where you can shut him down.

Speaker 78 But yeah, they'll have their matchups where it's probably Barkoff's line against Conrad McDavid's line, and you kind of have to just shadow him in the neutral zone.

Speaker 78 You'll probably have someone shadow him, but it's going to be hard to contain him as much as possible.

Speaker 78 It's not like fastball and football where you have your one-on-one matches, and you can contain them a little bit better that way.

Speaker 78 But I think you have your matchups with your D pairing, the top two D that are going against them, and then the top three forwards that are going to match up against him too.

Speaker 78 So they just try to do a good job of limiting time and space, being hard on him,

Speaker 78 physicality on him.

Speaker 78 You know, try try not to, you know, get that, you know, space where he can create his offense on his own.

Speaker 78 So I think it's all time and space limited, but I think that's why hockey's great because if you beat one guy, it's the next man up to kind of defend and help out that way in that direction.

Speaker 78 So you got to beat all five guys. So, I mean, we all know Florida Panthers are a good defending team.

Speaker 78 They're physical, so it's going to be hard for him. But, you know, he always finds ways.
The best players find ways to kind of get out of that.

Speaker 1 Is there like a scouting report on each guy on how to beat him? Like I know goalies, we have that.

Speaker 1 I know goalies were breaking them down and it's fun to watch now that I learned that you guys do that, watching the first period shots all going to one side of the net.

Speaker 1 Like everybody's peppering high glove side. It's like obviously the message was, hey, this guy's glove is susceptible.

Speaker 1 Is there a story or a book on guys too? Like, hey, this guy doesn't like maybe whenever we chop the shit close to his hands. Doesn't like little fit.

Speaker 1 Is there like that type of conversation when you guys are breaking down film?

Speaker 78 or how does it go yeah it's mostly in the playoffs some coaches had a coach top mcpawn he'll have a sheet before every game you look at it their lineup and their tendencies what they bring um what they're good at what they're not so good at things that can you know get underneath their skin and i know during the playoffs every coach does this you have like a book sheet and then you know they're kind of analyzing each player and they have all their tendencies and what they're good at what they're not so good at you know how can you drive them a little bit nuts you You know, guys you want to stay away.

Speaker 78 You know, these are the guys that like the kind of bullshit in between whistles. So stay away from that.
You know, they have a lot of things that kind of cue on it.

Speaker 78 Mostly it's attended to goalies, I would say, in the playoffs because you're trying to get to the goalie. Usually the goalies, you can say their best player, that that's their guy.

Speaker 78 You know, Bob Rosky is obviously a stud. So how can we get to Bob?

Speaker 78 But, you know, yeah, but there's a booklet of sheets where, you know, there's there's guys that have all their tendencies and what they're good at, and you just try to focus on maybe one or two of those throughout the course of a series.

Speaker 1 What do you think the book was on you when other people are reading about you?

Speaker 15 Big, this guy's big, big,

Speaker 78 big, slow

Speaker 1 can beat him with speed.

Speaker 2 Although we rarely beat him with speed, yeah, he can beat you wide.

Speaker 1 D-Bon has a question for you, Pat.

Speaker 50 Yeah, you just talked about Bob, and obviously, you know, defense, wins, championship. Who do you give the goalie edge to when it comes to Bob and Skinner and the other net?

Speaker 78 To me, I think Bob has the edge.

Speaker 78 I think he's a guy that's obviously been there the last two years. He's won one.

Speaker 78 You know, I'm still waiting for Skinner to make those, you know, he's been playing great.

Speaker 78 Ever since Picard got hurt, he kind of stepped in and kind of had those ropes where he, you know, he had to step up and play his game. And they rely on Skinner a lot.

Speaker 78 But the upper hand right now, I'm giving it to Bob until Skinner, you know, shows me, you know, maybe games one and two, he's here to perform.

Speaker 78 And I think he went through that transition last year of you know, letting in some kind of soft bulls. And when you win a Stanley Cup, you need defense, you need your goaltender.

Speaker 78 You know, you rely on them so much. So I'm going to give it to Bob right now, but we'll talk after game one.

Speaker 6 We'll see how it goes.

Speaker 1 Connor has a question for you, Patty.

Speaker 23 Yeah, Patty, you got brought up in the first hour. What's the deal with the new CBA? Because we know for the Lightning teams you played for, for some of these Panthers teams, for the Golden Knights.

Speaker 34 Kind of cheated.

Speaker 6 I'm not going to go far.

Speaker 73 But the whole entire, oh, this guy's hurt, this guy's hurt, this guy's hurt.

Speaker 49 Let's stay under the cap.

Speaker 23 Boom, playoffs. Let's bring back Kucheroff.
Let's bring back Stone. Let's bring back some of the greatest players in the league,

Speaker 23 even though they're technically over the cap. What is this situation and how much will this actually change the NHL playoffs? Because it does feel as though this kind of

Speaker 78 sneaking of the rule kind of taking advantage of the rule has dramatically helped some of these teams go and get the cup patriots yeah I mean listen the CBA is going to talk about it they're going to touch on it the GMs are going to touch on it the owners are but listen guys are hurt guys are hurt you have cap space I think you should utilize it in my opinion I think you're not really cheating the system because your guys are really hurt like I know everyone's talking about the Kucheroff effect and you know he was hurt you know the whole season and all of a sudden he comes back for game one of the playoffs.

Speaker 78 Well, he was hurt, and we could talk about Kachuck right now.

Speaker 78 You know, he was hurt. He got hurt in Four Nations, and then they have space for Seth Jones and

Speaker 78 Brad Marchand and Sterm. And so, I mean, listen, I think they're probably going to touch on it.
Probably people are pretty aggravated by it.

Speaker 78 The owners or the teams that don't make it that far that don't have enough cat space or don't have injuries that run into that situation.

Speaker 78 But it's certainly something to talk about.

Speaker 78 But hey, listen, if a guy's hurt or guys hurt, if you can make your team better by adding more pieces underneath the cap, and I know you're going to be over the cap once the playoff hits, but they only say, hey, you got to hit the cap before, you know, before the end of the season.

Speaker 78 So if you can do that and add pieces to the puzzle, I'm all for it. I don't think you could get rid of it.
I think you make your teams a lot better by doing that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, how come the Pittsburgh Penguins aren't doing it? How come the teams that aren't good aren't doing it?

Speaker 1 They're too healthy.

Speaker 1 What's the deal?

Speaker 78 Too healthy. Well, because they're not in the playoffs.

Speaker 6 Oh, geez.

Speaker 37 Oh, and they haven't been for a while.

Speaker 6 Tell them, David Rick.

Speaker 12 Last year.

Speaker 8 Yeah, Kyle Dubis is going to turn around.

Speaker 18 Don't you worry about Dubis.

Speaker 1 I have a question for you, Pat.

Speaker 24 Big Rigging.

Speaker 24 A lot of other sports, when it comes to generational talents, we talk about, hey, when they win their first title, you know, it's kind of like, you know, taking the top off the bucket or whatever. If

Speaker 24 Connor McDavid is to win this Stanley Cup, do you think there's a chance that the Oilers kind of go on a run here where they're in a position like the Panthers are right now where they're in the finals every year, they're winning cups or at least, you know, like he could have a real generational run.

Speaker 24 Or is that different in hockey than it is in every other sport because it's so difficult to win a Stanley Cup?

Speaker 78 No, I think you're totally right there. I think the window is so small in hockey, right?

Speaker 78 If you have a window, that's still open and you can keep going after it and keep trying to go win cups, keep going after it.

Speaker 78 Once the the window closes then you're seeing it with like you know the obviously we can go back to the penguins you know the window was open for so many years winning championships going back in the finals you know they went back to back um but i think if they win they're gonna keep that window open and keep adding pieces to you know keep trying to win more stanley cups as you can and look at florida right now they're they're doing the same thing you know they don't want their window to close because once it closes then you're kind of in that rebuild phrase right and um you know to me if you have the two best players in the world connor and leon you got to keep that window open as much as possible because those two can really draw you in and bring you back to the standard cup just on those two alone so uh i hope they win i hope emington wins kind of relieve that pressure from connor and leon they can now kind of settle in win their cup and then hopefully go on a deep run continue to keep winning here because With those two guys in the game, it's much better and it's bigger for us.

Speaker 17 Patty, I got a question for you.

Speaker 45 We know that the Panthers are pests or rats.

Speaker 17 Obviously, the Oilers know they are pests and rats, but is there a way, like, obviously, the Oilers know that, but is there a chance that the Panthers can still get under their skin?

Speaker 17 And going into a series like that, when you know the other team is going to try to get under your skin the entire time, what do you do?

Speaker 78 You know, I mean, the Florida Panthers are a greasy hockey team.

Speaker 37 Super greasy.

Speaker 16 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 78 Um, they're fun to watch, and they're they're a pain to play against, against. They're always in your face.

Speaker 78 But I think Eventon's got those guys. I think for Edmonton, they just got to stay away from the kind of bullshit that goes on with the Florida Panthers.

Speaker 78 They're going to be doing stuff behind the whistle. They're going to be doing stuff behind the play.
They're going to be rubbing in your face after every whistle.

Speaker 78 They're going to be trying to get you underneath your skin as much as possible.

Speaker 78 So I think with Edmonton, they have those guys, but with Edmonton, they just got to stay within structure and just play their game and

Speaker 78 stay out of the nonsense that Florida is going to bring. Florida is a a better hockey team when you engage back with them.
So if you're engaging back, they're a better hockey team.

Speaker 78 Those guys feed off that stuff. The Marshawn Supernatural Sammy and the Chuck and

Speaker 78 Eckblad, all these guys, they kind of just feed off this energy of getting back in your face and they just laugh in your face and they continue to do it.

Speaker 78 So I think for Ebenton, just stay in your lane, stay out of the stuff. you know, just play your game because you're so talented and so deep right now.

Speaker 78 But they have guys that go back at them. So it will be interesting to see how they handle the situation i'd like to see a physical fight start tonight

Speaker 1 seven game series the nhl stanley cup finals a man who has won that three times just so happened to be in a row for two different teams ladies and gentlemen the man patty maroon thank you patty

Speaker 1 is this a new league

Speaker 56 fair question

Speaker 23 yeah if you've never seen it before you would assume like hey that game behind us was electrical all-time classic that's what the bonus time

Speaker 23 Target time. Sorry, yeah, target score is all about.
You're literally waiting all day for targeting.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's what we're trying to get to. Now, that was last year's plan.
I don't know about this year because we have a much more talented team this year.

Speaker 46 Much more ball-dominated.

Speaker 17 But that's why you play great during the actual game because they were up 4-1.

Speaker 8 So you have a little wiggle room.

Speaker 17 And then when you get down to three guys.

Speaker 1 So, like, last year's plan was just keep it tight for target score time. Just get to target score time,

Speaker 1 and then we'll have arena league boys take it over. You know, like, if we're losing, let's just get, we're down 2-0, I think, in one of the games.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And we get to target score time, we come back win 3-2 because we got the arena boys. That is arena soccer right there at the end.
So, like, our arena squad being out there, it is the time.

Speaker 16 And Miola.

Speaker 9 First of all, Miola looks so good.

Speaker 16 That's unbelievable.

Speaker 66 Yeah, like

Speaker 23 much, much better this year. Also,

Speaker 1 he had a heart attack.

Speaker 23 Yeah, exactly. So it's awesome to see.

Speaker 30 He's changing things for you.

Speaker 33 Sometimes people, well, I mean, Irish people.

Speaker 12 Some people, not all of you.

Speaker 23 Some people, especially when you come from an Irish family, they'll have a heart attack and they'll say, hey, I'm ready for number two. Other times, some people will, you know, actually get better.

Speaker 28 It's cool.

Speaker 33 Miola has.

Speaker 23 Has he drawn up plays? Because he told us last night, yeah, that he has kind of been in his back. Was going to name a play after Gumpy.
Has he done that yet?

Speaker 1 I haven't heard the Gumpy play call yet, but he is on the dryer race.

Speaker 1 We're drawing a lot of this. I actually have a video of the pregame speech from Tony Miola back in the village, back in the AAA.

Speaker 32 Saw you post gums.

Speaker 1 Gump gave a speech this morning after breakfast. The last speech before we left from the hotel was on Gump.
Wow.

Speaker 1 Tony Miola walked over to him about four seconds before he had to speak. He said, hey, you want to say something? And walked away.

Speaker 1 And then Tony Miola said, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, Coach Comps.

Speaker 46 Coach Gumps.

Speaker 50 He was ready.

Speaker 1 Coach

Speaker 1 Coach Gump was ready.

Speaker 1 He's given that speech to Liverpool.

Speaker 74 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I think a few different times. Let's go to the truck, actually.
Gumpy, how'd you feel giving that speech this morning?

Speaker 8 You absolutely nailed it, pal.

Speaker 70 I mean, I just remember how we started last year, and I just knew we had to come out of the gates fast, and I just wanted to remind the boys that we had to have game one, and that's what we did.

Speaker 1 And it was on Gumpy to announce who's captain of this team.

Speaker 37 Wow, Gump.

Speaker 1 Did he pick? Gump, that was a big deal, I feel like.

Speaker 2 Exactly.

Speaker 70 That was Coach Miola, actually came over and was like, can you let everybody know that Zach's captain?

Speaker 1 That's a smart play by Tony Miola, actually.

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Anybody's pissed about this. Remember, Gumpy.

Speaker 29 No bad blood from Breck.

Speaker 23 Yeah, I feel like Breck Shades.

Speaker 1 Breck is a Copton, but he was not the Copton last year. Remember, Jeff Comron.

Speaker 37 I mean, he was.

Speaker 17 He was Captain America.

Speaker 1 We have a lot of Coptons on the team, but Zach Knight is seven foot tall.

Speaker 22 Yeah, he's a beast.

Speaker 1 Big lad. And he played 160 minutes straight last year.

Speaker 23 Ran a guy over, actually.

Speaker 17 When he was out here in game one, he was in the Premier League for 10 plus years.

Speaker 1 And he got fouled

Speaker 1 today, and because he's so big, they didn't call the foul.

Speaker 69 Yeah.

Speaker 70 He clutched himself at his knees.

Speaker 1 The guy went for a cross body on Jack

Speaker 1 and just didn't even care.

Speaker 21 Unbelievable strength.

Speaker 1 I didn't even think about the refs working again. The refs were good.
The refs were good. Let's not complain about the refs.
Gumpy got two yellow cards last year yelling at the refs.

Speaker 20 That's right.

Speaker 26 So early.

Speaker 1 He might get two more. We were a pretty docile bunch, I feel like, this game.

Speaker 24 You mean when you control the possession like that, there's not really a whole lot to bitch by.

Speaker 19 Yeah, you're just waiting for a goal.

Speaker 16 Exactly.

Speaker 50 Great pre-game speech.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about some things that have happened around the NFL. Travis Hunter his first massive NFL highlight.
Comes from OTAs. He's playing DB.

Speaker 1 And I'll tell you what, I believe they say it's called In a Guy's Pocket.

Speaker 1 D. Bucks, did you see this video?

Speaker 18 And what are your thoughts? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 50 I asked

Speaker 50 Rap Sheet yesterday. Hey, any updates from Travis Hunter? And I've had eyes, boots on the ground down there.
He's just been phenomenal.

Speaker 50 Obviously, he's playing both sides to the ball, but this right here, a lot of people bitching, oh, it wasn't a catch, wasn't this?

Speaker 50 The ball is even a conversation with that play, going up, high-pointing it, leaning, locate, and then finishing and making a play on the ball. He is just a phenomenal athlete.

Speaker 50 I can't wait to see this kid on Sundays doing his things on both sides of the football.

Speaker 1 They say he has the juice all the time.

Speaker 1 They say vibes lifted when Travis Hunter comes in the room. And that's also a piece of the scouting.
It's like, hey, this guy's a really good player. He's a generational talent.

Speaker 1 He can play on both sides. His cardiovascular is better than everybody else seemingly in the NFL.
What's he like as a human?

Speaker 5 Ah, shit.

Speaker 1 We can deal with it.

Speaker 1 Like, even if he wasn't the person he is, they would deal with it because of the amount of football talent that he has.

Speaker 1 But add on the fact that he's like considered like the perfect teammate, the perfect football guy.

Speaker 16 Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 Just always bought in. And his vibes are always immaculate.
It's like, what a home run for Jacksonville. And that's why Stoner down there gave the speech that he gave.

Speaker 1 And you said you talked to people boots on the ground down there. They're giving reports like every day.
It's something. where he is doing something absurd, right?

Speaker 50 Yeah, guys watching practice.

Speaker 50 We all been around those guys. I'm sure Seawood was kind of like this.
It's just like the ball just finds them, and they're never out of Tyran Matthews, another player that kind of comes to mind.

Speaker 50 Just absolute ball magnets. Spatial awareness, always aware who's around you, what's going on around you.

Speaker 50 So, like I said, I can't wait to see how he fits into number one, the offense on the other side of Brian Thomas Jr., and then his defense, getting the offense extra possessions by creating turnovers.

Speaker 50 Nothing impacts the game more in creating turnovers and setting your offense up to be successful.

Speaker 23 And like in the entire drafts combine process, everything, Travis Hunter basically talked about as the number one wide receiver, number one cornerback.

Speaker 23 And right now, the trendy pick feels like in the offseason for the team to turn it around is the New England Patriots. It feels as though that has kind of been.

Speaker 1 Congrats on the new deal with Will Campbell.

Speaker 23 Yeah, Will Campbell signs his contract for.

Speaker 1 Fully guaranteed for $43.66 million.

Speaker 1 Number four overall pick.

Speaker 46 Love that.

Speaker 23 Mass contract. Yeah, love that.
You assume Travis Hunter is going to get 50 guaranteed if he's doing stuff like this and he's playing both sides of the ball.

Speaker 23 The Jags, I feel like the team that have been kind of, you know, better in recent years, that have had a couple bad seasons.

Speaker 55 But then you add... He's Trevor Lawrence a guy.

Speaker 3 Exactly.

Speaker 66 He's Trevor Lawrence a guy.

Speaker 23 But you had Brian Thomas Jr. last year, who widely regarded as one of the best receivers, if not the best rookie receiver.

Speaker 23 If you think Travis Hunter is going to be the number one of this class, both corner and wide receiver, all of a sudden the Jags add a number one corner, add another wide receiver with Brian Thomas.

Speaker 23 And then you look at what's happening in Houston with CJ Stroud. The AFC South is kind of wide.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about what's going on in Houston. There's reports coming out of the Houston Texans OTAs that CJ Stroud has been limited.
CJ Stroud is not thrown.

Speaker 1 And then Coach D'Amico Ryans actually addressed it and said there's some soreness that they're being precaution.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you could lower the... D'Amico Ryans, there's no concerns with CJ.
It's just general soreness. We're taking extra precautions with him, but he'll be good to go.
No concerns on my end there.

Speaker 1 Says Ian Report,

Speaker 1 third year quarterback, stud quarterback, OTAs, has done everything right. Can spin it.
Shoulder. They're saying no concerns for soreness during OTAs.
I like seeing that.

Speaker 1 Looks like he put his arm, his hand over his shoulders. So if there was a massive shoulder injury, I don't think he would be doing all that.

Speaker 1 The soreness is interesting with the time of year that it is. It's June.
Was this too hard of workouts? Is this an injury that's lingering from last year that he didn't know was as serious?

Speaker 1 Like the Derek Carr situation that happened just a few months ago down in New Orleans? What are your thoughts on this, Deborah?

Speaker 50 Hopefully, it's a big nothing burger here in early June. But because we were conversing before the show, me and AJ specifically talking about the quarterback who kind of been around it.

Speaker 50 You were around Peyton. And the one thing we know about franchise quarterbacks, they like to get all their reps.

Speaker 1 You know, regardless of when it is, minicamp, OTAs, training camp, they like to to get those reps if they're in the building which most of them are so this is concerning to me early june is the young quarterback uh definitely too early to be taking g days so uh definitely concerning but hopefully once we get to the season once again he's a phenomenal talent so hopefully we see him taking every snap uh next season it's a big uh big nothing burger once we get to the big dance yeah it can be it definitely most likely is is nothing you would think but the time of year is what kind of what scared me like the only time i've ever seen a quarterback not maybe not throw as much or have not even an off day but come out and just okay he's not going to do seven on in team today but just individual is if say you had three straight days of practices and you threw a bunch of balls and you had you have a certain limit but a young guy in june not throwing yeah i would i'd be worried a little bit especially because we've heard nothing about any of it uh i'll tell you whenever i saw andrew luck throwing at the beginning of that one training camp when he yeah yeah and it was like polyps right he can't throw a football oh shit that is not that's not a guy remember that's not an nfl quarterback right there those are some floaters that are happening right there that's whenever like everybody kind of found out about it i think on our team i wonder how the houston texans are with this soreness have they known have they expected this has cj expected this is this something he's been dealing with we hope not good luck cj good luck cj

Speaker 1 micah parsons he's tweeting about minicamp he said i'm a beater i never missed one oh yeah so what going into my fourth year Never missed one of these.

Speaker 22 Okay, Mike.

Speaker 15 Call Mandatory.

Speaker 1 I'll be there. I haven't missed a minicamp in four years.
Even though the contract is not done I have teammates and a playbook I'm preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp

Speaker 1 but it's in the owner's hands

Speaker 1 I'm ready to win Super Bowl sounds like they're in the middle of negotiating sounds like Michael Parsons knows what the right thing is which is to be around his teammates to set an example of being there for a mandatory minicamp knowing that he's going to be a staple or a pillar of the Dallas Cowboys for a long time it's good for the rookies it's good for the entire team to see one of their guys present at a mandatory minicamp as opposed to any drama or missing.

Speaker 1 Maybe some guy might want to ask him about his routine. Maybe you want to just get used to kind of how everything is under shoddy in the building.

Speaker 48 There's a lot of upside.

Speaker 1 The downside is you lose leverage in negotiation is what people say. Because if you hold out, you take a stand, you're really not happy about what's going on.

Speaker 1 Him being there, I don't think slows anything down. Jerry Jones have been very open about paying him.

Speaker 1 It's in the owner's hand, says Micah. We assume it's going to get done.

Speaker 42 Jerry's going to pay him, right? Jerry always, I mean, Jerry drafted him.

Speaker 42 Micah is a foundational piece, a franchise franchise dude, a guy that moves and runs and rushes the pass through like not really anyone else on the planet can do.

Speaker 42 So, yeah, I think Jerry's going to pay him. I don't know when that might be.

Speaker 42 Remember when Zeke didn't go to camp and he was down in Cabo working out and everything, and then all of a sudden, bam, he gets a gigantic deal.

Speaker 42 I don't know if Micah's going to have to do that, but Jerry will get him paid.

Speaker 50 Even the CD Lamb situation last year.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 50 So for whatever reason, this is how Jerry...

Speaker 50 uh does his business but to your point he ends up paying these guys and they do a great job obviously in the draft you know finding these guys uh the pre-draft process paying them uh at the point so he will be a guy miles garrett obviously he set that gap and kind of think between him and uh what was that danil hunter and uh crosby so i think Parsons will be very close to Miles Garrett when he actually does get paid because he is the guy who is a pillar who you build your defenses around you know top three pass rusher since pretty much the day he stepped into the NFL.

Speaker 50 Yeah, it's going to get done.

Speaker 24 I mean Jerry has in the recent you know past he's he's waited until almost like right before the season to pay these guys.

Speaker 24 But if you're a Cowboys fan, you know, like they're not letting Michael Parsons go anywhere.

Speaker 12 You just can't. I mean,

Speaker 24 he is their defense right now. And if Jerry recognizes that, so we'll see.
I mean, is he going to end up having to maybe give him a little bit more than he would had he paid him a couple months ago?

Speaker 24 Probably, but that's kind of been the Cowboys

Speaker 24 M.O. with their big-time stars over the last few years.

Speaker 46 Maybe Jerry likes this.

Speaker 17 Because we're talking about it. The drama.

Speaker 22 No.

Speaker 11 And Mike is going to talk about about it.

Speaker 17 Maybe he just waits all this time because he likes hearing people talk about the cow.

Speaker 1 Well, with that being said, you bringing up the Jerry drafted him. Yep.
It's like, yeah, there's 100% chance he gets paid. He knows that.
I'm just going to come to Mandatory Minicamp.

Speaker 1 We know this is going to get done. Michael Parsons is going to be on primetime 13 times a year for the next 10 years of his career.

Speaker 1 And that's Jerry Jones football, baby. Exactly.
That is how it goes. Let's talk about maybe some Pittsburgh Steelers football.

Speaker 8 Have you heard D-Butt?

Speaker 61 I have not.

Speaker 1 Have you heard AJ? Nope.

Speaker 22 Connor? I don't think so.

Speaker 28 Ty? I don't think so, no.

Speaker 1 I know Diggs has. Jonu Smith.

Speaker 37 Whoa.

Speaker 1 Trade conversations with the Pittsburgh Steelers has happened and started up back again, potentially, says Adam Schefter. Back in it, the Steelers.
Renewed conversations today with Dolphins tight end.

Speaker 1 Jonu Smith, who is seeking a new contract. The trade between the Steelers and Dolphins is still alive per source.
One person told Adam Schefter that.

Speaker 1 Tone, I haven't heard you be as excited as I think you should be for a John Ew Smith type caliber player coming to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 17 Yeah, it is back on, which is exciting because yesterday morning, Schefter said it was off. Those things, you know, the Talks have died.
It's not going to happen.

Speaker 17 Yesterday afternoon, those things are the TOX are back on. I think I'd be more excited if I thought it was real at all.
There's a lot of

Speaker 17 thoughts in Pittsburgh through the Pittsburgh media now that this is just Drew Rosenhaus trying to

Speaker 17 kick up some interest so that the Dolphins will pay John Ew Smith because he deserves it. He's an incredible player.
Would I love Johnny Smith to be a Steeler? Yes. Do I think it's going to happen?

Speaker 17 No, they just paid Pat Firemuth. Darnell Washington came into camp 15 pounds down.
They said he looks amazing. Now yesterday their third tight end, Donald Parnham, did tear his Achilles.

Speaker 17 So that news, the Shepherds news kind of aligned with that. So there may have been some legitimacy there.

Speaker 17 But no, it just doesn't

Speaker 17 make sense for either team.

Speaker 70 You've got the Dolphins guy, who was their best player last year,

Speaker 17 and then the Steelers, who already paid a tight end, have two tight ends. Now

Speaker 17 I know that Artie loves tight ends, but it just

Speaker 17 doesn't feel real, so I'm not excited.

Speaker 1 Okay, so you think it's a business play by Rosenhaus, who has done billions

Speaker 1 of dollars in negotiations over the past?

Speaker 48 Yeah, it feels good.

Speaker 1 I think there's a chance, but Schefter's reporting it twice now. Yes, he is.
So Schefter is not just putting out fake stuff. I mean, Schefter has to be legit.

Speaker 15 Correct.

Speaker 1 So maybe there is a little bit of a dabble in a conversation. If the Dolphins aren't able to get it done, Johnny would like to get out of here.

Speaker 1 Maybe the Steelers are saying, hey, is there actual availability here? We'll see if the Dolphins make the play. The Dolphins pay everybody, don't they, Gumpy? Don't the Dolphins pay everybody?

Speaker 70 We like paying guys that actually don't play for us either, so we'll get rid of our best player.

Speaker 1 It's just this is a no, nobody said you guys are doing that.

Speaker 64 No, we're still paying the TV.

Speaker 1 Hey, hell, Gumpy.

Speaker 16 J-Lo, yellow,

Speaker 1 you know, Gumpy, Sneaky Fox 97, and La Mexicana Express playing right here behind us.

Speaker 8 Big foul.

Speaker 1 Ref has dug it in the pocket.

Speaker 24 He's good. I thought that guy got shot in both legs with a shotgun.

Speaker 16 Well, he pulled the yellow. He pulled the yellow.

Speaker 6 That was a card.

Speaker 27 That's a hack.

Speaker 37 A yellow guard.

Speaker 37 Oh, yellow.

Speaker 73 You do it one more time, mister.

Speaker 27 Two games.

Speaker 17 Is there a carryover and yellows in this tournament?

Speaker 1 I think you're allowed to get 14 of them. Okay, nice.
Cover your dong here.

Speaker 37 Good number.

Speaker 1 We could get a deflection off of our face four dongs here. Probably a miss of the net

Speaker 16 Oh, fake.

Speaker 37 Oh,

Speaker 37 what a play.

Speaker 55 That was nice. Hey, they drew that up.

Speaker 1 That's sneaky Fox 97. Obviously, they drew up a set piece there.
Run over the ball, little distraction. Pass it down to the goal line.
Pass it across. Everybody whiffs.
Clean up. Goal.

Speaker 24 Cheeky touch.

Speaker 19 That is.

Speaker 1 Usually, that's Andy Reid with the play call.

Speaker 2 That's beautiful.

Speaker 16 Is Ponch on the sideline for them?

Speaker 17 Punter was actually pissed earlier that a team was running a set play this early in the tournament. You got to save those things for later.

Speaker 1 I know, Sneaky Fox is just that.

Speaker 44 It's a bold move, though.

Speaker 56 You know, like when Concave FC runs into them in the finals, we know their plays.

Speaker 23 You're going to know the set piece they're rolling.

Speaker 1 Well, it doesn't matter if you know the plays. You got to execute, is what they say in football whenever people know everybody's plays.

Speaker 1 You know, you talk about things that don't make sense, like Johnny Smith maybe getting traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers, even though, hey, it would be cool if it happened.

Speaker 16 Great.

Speaker 35 How about a punter squatting over 700 pounds?

Speaker 1 You know, there's conversations about punters lifting, and they'll be doing bench, and they'll be like, well, what do you need your arms for?

Speaker 1 They'll be doing like

Speaker 1 upper body, and they'll be like, oh, that's not LP.

Speaker 22 What's that dude kick a ball?

Speaker 1 Squatting, I think, is a good thing to be able to be great at if you're a punter or a kicker. And Ethan Evans of the Los Angeles Rams, squatting over 700 pounds.
What? In OTAs, 705.

Speaker 1 This man's Instagram is just a series series of posts showcasing him in a weight room. You're talking about a Jim Rat that happens to be a punter who had 55%

Speaker 1 of his punts inside the 20 last year. I think it was the highest, one of the highest in the NFL.

Speaker 1 You're talking about an absolute beast on the field of punting and an absolute warrior in the weight room, AJ. 705 pounds squat, not with one of those soft bars either.

Speaker 1 He's putting that thing on his spine, taking it down to the ground and bringing it back up to the lower.

Speaker 42 I mean, take it to the Lord.

Speaker 42 I've been paying close attention to make sure he doesn't have that little pad on the bar. Which, if you want to, that's okay.
I understand everybody's built differently, different situations.

Speaker 42 But for a punter, for any player to do this is unbelievable. Yeah, for a punter, yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 I don't think you're letting a lot of people do 700 pounds in the NFL. No, no, no.

Speaker 10 That's what a lot of people don't talk about.

Speaker 1 Like college, I was very lucky to have Coach Mike Barwis as my strength coach at West Virginia University. Yes.
He is a beast. He is going to work your hard.
You're going to be lifting a lot.

Speaker 1 You're going to be running a lot. And I think there's a lot of development that happens in college.

Speaker 1 You see guys gain like 50, 60 pounds of muscle over like a three, four year period when you're put on protein, you're put on a diet, you're put on a workout plan, you're put on a schedule, you're put on a vision basically of what your body can be.

Speaker 1 And then you go in there and, I mean, you get your ass kicked in these gyms.

Speaker 1 It's the worst workouts, hardest workouts of all time. I think everybody would agree with that.
But it obviously showcases in the development of your body.

Speaker 1 Then when you get to the NFL, it's not really more about developing your body. It's about like, how do do we make your body the best? How do we save it to be on Sunday? And you like kind of taper off.

Speaker 1 I don't know how many people are squatting 700 pounds in the NFL. I don't think they're letting you do it.
I don't think Ethan Evans said feed, me,

Speaker 58 all of it.

Speaker 1 And that's why punters are both different, D-Bucks.

Speaker 65 That's impressive.

Speaker 50 I've never seen that, especially from a punter in an NFL weight room.

Speaker 50 To your point, now, going to college, to your point, those strength and conditioning programs, strength and conditioning coaches, I think those are probably the most important people in the building when you bring in these 17, 18-year-old kids and kind of turn them to grown-ass man.

Speaker 50 I put on 24 pounds in college working, eating, doing all that shit. Shout out, Coach Martin, rest in peace.
But those are very, very important people.

Speaker 50 But to see this, and to your point, first thing we're looking for now, 2025, what type of bar is he using? And then, as an athlete, what kind of depth is he getting when he's doing this squat?

Speaker 50 So, yeah, getting that depth, getting it up, that is very, very impressive.

Speaker 1 Steve Weatherford, obviously, a man that wouldn't be scared to do this.

Speaker 12 Share chance.

Speaker 1 So jocked, Steve Weatherford.

Speaker 42 He's like a bodybuilder, honestly. How big and ripped he is.

Speaker 1 And he has been for like 20 years straight. Yeah.
Just always ripped off.

Speaker 42 He wasn't the cover of muscle and fitness, I believe, at one point.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did the Van Damm split. Oh, hell.

Speaker 1 He also had six punts inside the 20, I think, in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 48 Yeah, pretty good.

Speaker 1 Which is like a Super Bowl rack. I think like four of them are inside the 10.

Speaker 6 Nice.

Speaker 48 Absolutely jocked.

Speaker 18 We love that.

Speaker 15 Yes, we do.

Speaker 1 Yes, we do. As we are live from Kerry, North Carolina, Sneaky Fox 97.
Oh, I like that little energy, a little juice here from the crowd. Very easily accessible to come watch anything here.

Speaker 1 It's very well put together. The TST people deserve a lot of praise.
Yeah. I mean, they do a great job.

Speaker 23 It's a perfect place to do everything to.

Speaker 1 And I don't think they're like making money.

Speaker 42 Oh, staying over top of a guy when he's down.

Speaker 1 I think they're investing completely in the tournament. It's awesome.
Like, they want it to be very well run.

Speaker 24 I mean, it's grown big time year over year, hasn't it?

Speaker 8 Yes, I think it has.

Speaker 1 And also, the way

Speaker 1 the hotels, the housing, the restaurants, the way everything is set up. Perfect.

Speaker 23 The stadiums are super nice. Like, it is nice in here.
Of course, the field and everything, but where you can sit and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 I don't think you're allowed to kick a goal kick within the box. I mean,

Speaker 1 we got a penalty for it almost in the first game, a warning. They're letting them do it.
I mean, what rules are rules, though?

Speaker 24 No, neither one of these teams is probably going to win the tournament, so I think we're just kind of letting them run.

Speaker 7 You want to talk about rules real quick?

Speaker 1 Let's talk about a pitcher having a team that doesn't play by the rules. If you're a great pitcher and you damn near shut out the other team and you pitched the whole fucking game, you deserve to win.

Speaker 1 That's the rules.

Speaker 36 Yeah, those are the rules.

Speaker 1 That's what baseball is founded upon.

Speaker 1 The rules have been broken multiple times here for Paul Steins. Ty, what the hell is going on here? How does this happen?

Speaker 24 We've talked about this ad nauseum, okay? This guy is a generational talent. And for whatever reason, the Pirates this offseason, when...

Speaker 24 You look at kind of the makeup of their division, they had an unbelievable pitching staff. If they would have went out and and just spent a little bit of money on offense, just a little bit.

Speaker 1 Just somebody that can hit? Exactly.

Speaker 22 Just a couple people.

Speaker 1 How many people do you need that can actually hit? Two people, three people?

Speaker 28 Well, that's the thing: they're an MLB baseball.

Speaker 40 They have one.

Speaker 24 So everyone can hit, but you need a guy who really can hit, who can drive runners in when people are on base.

Speaker 24 Now, I haven't looked recently. Diggs might be able to speak to this a little bit better.
But

Speaker 24 maybe a month and a half ago, you looked at the Pirates

Speaker 24 opening, their roster, their starting nine. They had like seven guys batting at like 205 or below, which is just like it's Bush League.
That's not Major League Baseball.

Speaker 24 So you've got a guy like Paul Skeens who goes out and throws eight innings, gives up three hits, one run. Like, you win that game 99 times out of 100 or 95 times out of 100.

Speaker 28 98 now.

Speaker 40 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 24 And this has happened to him multiple times, several times this year. He's like the first pitcher since, you know, like the 1900s or whenever it's

Speaker 24 1901 to have it happen twice in a season.

Speaker 36 So it's like... That's a long time ago.

Speaker 40 Exactly.

Speaker 24 So like, what more can this guy do? This guy can't do anything else.

Speaker 1 1901?

Speaker 1 That is so long ago.

Speaker 17 They have like four pitchers in the top 25 of the ERA. So it's, yeah, it's really all about the bats.

Speaker 17 They have guys that can't hit cutch hits, O'Neil Cruz hits, Randall Sutton, but they never, it's never all at the same time.

Speaker 17 Like, I think they lead the league and runners left in scoring position, which you cannot do in baseball.

Speaker 17 It's sad because it's basically just, you know, another year wasted of his career.

Speaker 1 A lot of people talking about why are we talking about baseball? MLB viewership up 10%.

Speaker 37 Yeah, that is right across all platforms. How about that?

Speaker 1 Every network it's on. Fox, ESPN, ISOOM, whatever digital stuff they're doing, it's up.
Shohei Otani, Megastar playing well. Aaron Judge, Megastar playing well.
Paul Skeens, Megastar.

Speaker 8 Playing well and losing.

Speaker 54 So it doesn't really count.

Speaker 17 First sell you to win 20 or lose 25 games.

Speaker 1 Good for baseball, though.

Speaker 8 Yeah, legit.

Speaker 1 I think it's a great sport. Whenever your stars play well, and whenever you deliver a product that is watchable, you can have success.
If your stars don't play well, nobody cares.

Speaker 1 Like a lot of people say, Why do you only talk about this guy or this guy's this guy? It's like, well, that's the only people that really matter.

Speaker 1 And if they're playing well, everybody will watch the whole damn league. Baseball's that way.
We'll continue here from Carrie.

Speaker 16 We'll be back tomorrow.

Speaker 1 Be a friend, telephone something nice that might change their life. We continue.

Speaker 1 All right, good little salute there.

Speaker 1 Now we're just on digital, YouTube, ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, TikTok Live, probably, unless they banned us, which seemingly happens every other day.

Speaker 1 We get kicked off of there.

Speaker 1 But the baseball stars playing well is a big deal. That's the most important part of the entire thing.
Because if you had nobody's playing great, it's great. And those nobodies become stars, I agree.

Speaker 1 But the people that are your current superstars, if they are playing well, people will be more interested. And Aaron Judge and Shohei are holding it down

Speaker 1 for baseball.

Speaker 27 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 24 And you have teams in massive markets. You know, obviously, we had Yankees, Dodgers in the World Series last year.
They're two of the best teams in baseball this year.

Speaker 24 You have a team like the Cubs who has a rabid fan base, not just in the Midwest, but everywhere. Like they're unbelievable.
But yeah, it comes down to that.

Speaker 24 You have two generational talents, an Aaron Judge and Shohei Otani, and they're both having career years up to this point.

Speaker 24 And then even, you know, a guy like Jack Caglion, who we talked with Jeff Passon about, like that kind of next star that's coming up who can take a team like the Royals who is in a small market, who is good, but

Speaker 24 they're really not getting the national spotlight. When you get a guy like that and you put him in the same conversation as a guy like a Judge or an Otani, like, it's great for baseball.

Speaker 36 So they're in a good spot.

Speaker 1 Judge, Otani, or

Speaker 1 Bo Jackson. This Jack Cagleon.
Caglionon.

Speaker 16 Cagleon. Caglion.

Speaker 1 Cagleon. Yep.

Speaker 1 Jackie Cagleon.

Speaker 20 See.

Speaker 1 From Florida.

Speaker 1 These first roles player since Bo Jackson to debut in the same year you get drafted. I mean, you talk about being in the same conversation as Aaron Judge Shohei.

Speaker 1 You're in a conversation with Bo Jackson as well. That's good for baseball.
Hopefully, he lives up to the hype. Once again, Starr has to play well.

Speaker 27 I assume he will. Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 24 This is super rare. It is in baseball.
You see it with pitchers a little bit more because those guys can kind of dictate the game.

Speaker 24 Like a guy like Skeens, if you're throwing 100-plus miles an hour, like you're probably ready to go to the majors and pitch against Major League hitting, and then you'll kind of just figure it out over the course of a season or you know something like that.

Speaker 24 They talk about hitting how it's like the jump from being a great college hitter to even going to the minor leagues where you have all these guys who, whether they're hurt and they're down for a double-A team or a triple-A team, like the jump in competition is just so extreme.

Speaker 24 And you look at his numbers, what he's done in AA and triple A.

Speaker 28 He's dominated every jump up that he's been at.

Speaker 24 So yeah, we'll see if he can do it with the big league club. And I think most people assume that

Speaker 24 he's not going to get sent back down right away. He's going to be here to stay, which is huge.

Speaker 1 Just had some hot beer.

Speaker 12 Nothing better.

Speaker 35 That was tough. Yeah, it's tough.
Couple things better.

Speaker 1 Finished mine, it was piping hot.

Speaker 5 Oh, my God.

Speaker 71 I was yommitting

Speaker 1 talking about Jack Cagliou.

Speaker 1 I think he's going to do great things for baseball. I think baseball is going to continue to do great things.

Speaker 1 I think my favorite thing that we have not talked about yet is

Speaker 1 the fact that

Speaker 1 Saquon Barkley

Speaker 1 was strapped up to wires.

Speaker 1 Are we doing a moment of silence?

Speaker 68 Yes.

Speaker 74 Oh, we're happy.

Speaker 1 Is a moment of silence? I don't know. I see people sitting down.

Speaker 16 Just have time. Just have time.

Speaker 54 Okay, no moment of silence.

Speaker 37 Can't be too careful. I didn't think.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, we didn't.

Speaker 49 Wiener, whistle, or whatever.

Speaker 58 Good job.

Speaker 58 We're just trying to pay him respect.

Speaker 61 We were ready.

Speaker 1 We were ready.

Speaker 22 It was uncomfortably quiet.

Speaker 1 Wasn't it? And it came after an announcement.

Speaker 8 I couldn't.

Speaker 50 These two guys are standing with their head and their chest, too.

Speaker 6 So was I.

Speaker 51 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 Took a hat off, took a tail off. Saquon Barkley, though, was shooting for the Madden cover, and they had him wired up.

Speaker 1 He was like he was a stunt action movie star, jumping up over an actor who ran under him no less than 50 to 60 times him getting used to coming back down to earth was obviously something but saquan barkley getting recognized for this filthy disgusting so creative innovative and dumbass play is a beautiful thing deep yeah i like that he even tried it we need more of that yeah this move kind of captured everybody whether you were a fan of football or not

Speaker 50 never see and saquan barkley he's a he's a special special talent had an mvp caliber year all the way to the super bowl run. But everybody will remember this moment.

Speaker 50 LeBron, when he came on, he pointed out the point he had on his shoes, his cleats that we didn't even know at the time. So just a phenomenal moment.
And I love that it made it to the cover of Madden.

Speaker 50 Now it's truly an iconic moment that everyone will always remember. Now, the moment when I first saw this video, I saw a lot of people thought he was strapped up.

Speaker 50 I was like, oh my God, this guy's hops.

Speaker 37 Body.

Speaker 50 He's levitating a lot of people.

Speaker 50 I'm interested in how many times he had to actually jump up and land at 200 photo shoots.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they might have had it the first or second time, but we need to do it for two to three more hours, four more hours.

Speaker 32 Run these hours.

Speaker 50 Was this the actual defender?

Speaker 16 Yeah. Yeah, it was him.

Speaker 3 Yep.

Speaker 59 Do a showdown for that?

Speaker 42 Yeah, I bet they paid him pretty well.

Speaker 11 Okay.

Speaker 42 I would have said no, and then they throw you a number.

Speaker 34 Was it actually him?

Speaker 16 No, no. No, it wasn't.
No, yeah.

Speaker 15 Okay. All right.

Speaker 1 Because I think AJ did not know if it was.

Speaker 15 They assumed he might.

Speaker 1 Okay, good. Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
I believe a Jax helmet on him.

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Just black helmet.

Speaker 65 Yep.

Speaker 23 During minicamp, we saw Travis Hunter catching those balls. So if you go to Madden cover to get jumped over, you're probably getting cut.

Speaker 54 That's just my assumption.

Speaker 27 I don't know. That's my point.

Speaker 16 Maybe not.

Speaker 37 That's my assumption.

Speaker 16 Yeah, PA should have.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get the hell out of here. We got a game at 6:30.
Concafa SC.

Speaker 1 We take on

Speaker 24 Real Athletico, Athletico, Miami, Athletico, Florida.

Speaker 54 What's up, man?

Speaker 27 Athletico.

Speaker 40 Nailed it.

Speaker 23 6.30 on ESPNU and ESPN Plus.

Speaker 1 ESPNU?

Speaker 47 And ESPN Plus.

Speaker 37 You're on the U?

Speaker 1 I didn't know it was on the U.

Speaker 23 You guys are on the U tonight. That's right.

Speaker 1 Oh, let's begin. Had a couple beers here in the afternoon.

Speaker 20 Maybe step up tonight.

Speaker 15 Maybe put the boots going on.

Speaker 37 Maybe I have a couple more.

Speaker 27 Getting the boots out?

Speaker 1 Swig loop? No, I got a lower body and an upper body. We all know that.
Yeah. And I got a lung brain thing going on.

Speaker 16 Sure.

Speaker 30 Very serious.

Speaker 1 Yeah, my lungs blow up and my brains think I'm tired. Teas and peas.
So I can't run far enough.

Speaker 16 Was it tough?

Speaker 5 I know you do have an upper and a lower and a lump brain thing.

Speaker 8 Was it tough standing over there? No.

Speaker 44 No, not at all.

Speaker 12 No, it was pretty good.

Speaker 8 How about Jack Cameron? Did it seem like he was...

Speaker 1 I think we had a good time. I genuinely think we had a good time.
Because we were trying to figure out, because we had the possession for so long.

Speaker 1 It was like legitimate conversation about how do we break it. Start having hockey combos

Speaker 1 or basketball conversations. Need somebody to drive, drag somebody out, and then bang, we take advantage of them.
So that's what we were trying to figure it out.

Speaker 1 And so this crew over here really looks good. Boys? They're doing a lot.
Boys, you look good. I don't think that's the way to get to them.

Speaker 1 Where are they at? Foxy, they were on the camera.

Speaker 29 Not down there.

Speaker 23 They're tight.

Speaker 23 Yeah, he's tightening out behind.

Speaker 1 They're on the camera.

Speaker 16 Oh, they're gone.

Speaker 22 You bullied them out. Yep.

Speaker 1 Foxy bullied him out.

Speaker 53 There they are.

Speaker 1 There they are. There's the boys.
Boys, good pipes. You've been working on the arms.

Speaker 58 Is that a Robo?

Speaker 37 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Concafa shirt cut down.

Speaker 36 Robo would dummy those two.

Speaker 50 Moving Merk.

Speaker 1 6.30 Rialo Athletic Goal.

Speaker 1 Cannot wait to see the boys in our second game. We are currently undefeated.

Speaker 1 Yes. Will that continue?

Speaker 15 I think so.

Speaker 1 A lot of people asking if I'm going to play.

Speaker 1 I don't know why I should take any minutes away from anybody on our team. With that being said, I'll be ready.

Speaker 46 Always. Just in case.

Speaker 50 I need to see Foss put one in the net.

Speaker 1 Yes. Foss got on the field, ran hard, fouled somebody.
Great defensive play.

Speaker 48 Mops went out of bounds.

Speaker 1 Foss played hard. He played confident, too, which I like.
Physical.

Speaker 64 He was physical. He is.

Speaker 15 Looks great.

Speaker 24 If Foss is in a scoring position, Black Boots will find him.

Speaker 57 Always does.

Speaker 1 That's what Mario does. Yeah.
That's a Mario. Look at Fosso with his zoom in.

Speaker 27 Looks strapped.

Speaker 36 Need to put one in the next.

Speaker 23 Just be on the field when Led Zeppelin's out there.

Speaker 23 And he'll make it right.

Speaker 1 It's not his name. Mani.

Speaker 24 Sure.

Speaker 14 Legesma.

Speaker 37 Led Zuma.

Speaker 24 Yeah, but Tossi Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Flint, Robert Feige.

Speaker 1 Sneaky Fox taking on La Mexicana Express right now. I assume you can find this on YouTube.
Yes. TST's YouTube.
We'll continue to follow along. We're going to watch all these games.

Speaker 1 Have a good time here in Cary because it is beautiful here. We'll be back here tomorrow.
I think Johnny Damon's going to be on the show tomorrow.

Speaker 6 That's cool. Yes.

Speaker 21 You know who else is on the show tomorrow? Who?

Speaker 1 Wayne Gretzky. Shut up.

Speaker 27 What? The great one?

Speaker 16 Wayne Gretzky.

Speaker 1 Wayne Gretzky's on the show tomorrow.

Speaker 17 If they existed, he would have beat the shit out of the Kanye X, too.

Speaker 45 Yes.

Speaker 24 Well said, Tony.

Speaker 1 There's no reason for that. You know who else I want to share tomorrow?

Speaker 48 Who? We're doing a lot of soccer talk.

Speaker 12 Clint Dempsey.

Speaker 12 Wow.

Speaker 1 Clint Dempsey, Waynell, Johnny Damon. We're going to have a great day here from Carrie, and hopefully, Concafa is undefeated at 2-0.
Be a friend, tell a friend, something nice.

Speaker 1 It might change their life for anything together. 6:30 ESPNU, Concafa's next game.
Team on me. Team on three.

Speaker 1 One, two, three. Team.

Speaker 16 Goodbye.
