PMS 2.0 1343 - PGA Championship Recap, Tyrese Haliburton and Pacers Fan Hans Perez, Ian Rapoport, Pat Maroon, Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk

Hello, beautiful people, and welcome back to our humble abode, the Thunderdome.

On this Ovary Action Monday, May 19th, 2025, this program begins.

Sports are happening all around us.

What a weekend of sports.

Now, obviously, we're fresh off a four-day weekend because the PGA Championship had taken over ESPN's airwaves Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on CBS in the afternoon, watching absolute magic happen.

Scotty Scheffler wins again.

Now, pause for a moment and just understand that this guy who was described as a bag of milk, a guy with no personality, a guy who, if he's the face of golf, golf is going to be in a bad place.

People were saying those actual things.

A.J.

Hawk actually

said those things at one point.

He goes, the guy's got no pizazz, I believe is what he said.

This guy has found pizzazz and doesn't need pizzazz.

Watching him golf is absolutely spectacular.

What he does to a golf course with a golf ball is just something that I understand that Tiger Woods took over the world whenever he was golfing and Sunday Red and his electricity and everything like that.

And I understand way back Jack was the guy.

I understand all that stuff.

What this guy does on such a consistent basis is absurd.

I think he's missed four cuts in like seven years or something.

I forget what it is.

Four years.

Yeah, four years.

The guy has missed four cuts.

Like what he has accomplished.

Shout out to Kyle Porter, by the way, doing a lot of research this weekend, seeing a lot of Kyle Porter tweets this weekend.

We appreciate the hell out of you making the sports world better.

45 top fives over the last four years, 18 wins, three majors, two players, one gold medal, four missed cuts, $75 million in on-course money that he has won.

Now, granted, 141 weeks at world number one is obviously not the best.

Tiger had it for like however many years or whatever it is, and I'm sure Scotty is well on his way to do that.

He is the one.

Everybody thought maybe, you know, Jordan would do this.

Everybody thought maybe Rory would do this.

Everybody thought maybe Brooks would do this.

Everybody thought maybe Rombo

would do this.

Maybe.

They all got a lot lot of money to go play in another league.

And not Rory, but obviously, when you talk about DeChambeau and you talk about Rombeau and you talk about Dustin Johnson, you talk about a lot of great golfers.

And I assume Scotty Scheffler was also offered $300 million, $400 million to go to live.

He turned that down to stay the course at the PGA.

I know the PGA Tour is obviously very thankful for that, but the game of golf as a whole should be incredibly thankful that we get to watch this guy golf every single weekend, basically, throughout the rest of the summer.

And what he did down here in Coyle Hollow,

great name, great course, difficult conditions, was nothing short of marvelous.

And on Sunday, you know, championship Sunday, there was so much going on.

There was game seven in the NBA.

I was watching Oklahoma City and Denver battle.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Let's go see what's going on in the golf.

I go over there.

Holy hell.

Liv is making a run at this thing.

DeShambeau is going.

Rombo is back.

We asked this last Wednesday, does Rombo even golf anymore?

Have we seen Rombo?

He does.

He was back in it.

He was pressing Scotty Scheffler on Sunday, who had a five-stroke lead going in.

Didn't have his best start.

His driver was going way left seemingly every single time.

It was a grind.

Rombo's going to get him.

Then Rombo tin cupped that thing.

He did.

He finished.

Bogey, double bogey, double bogey.

Yikes.

Scotty Scheffler ends up winning by like six strokes whenever it was a tight one the entire time.

That's 16.

Old buddy.

Bogeys that.

Then you know what?

17 need to make up for it because Rombo's not going to give it up.

He's got a three-stroke lead on it.

What are you going to do?

Well, I'm going to go for this thing.

Well, you're going to put it in the water.

Okay.

That's immediately going to put you behind.

He would double bogey 17.

Then he would double bogey 18.

And he would inevitably end up in like eighth place or something like that.

Shout out to Ron making a run.

Shout out to Ron being back.

Shout out to Ron going for it.

But also, shout out to Scotty Scheffler being an absolute monster as a golfer.

and putting golf on his back, basically.

Yeah.

Okay.

He obviously went to jail last year, about a year ago at this exact time.

He's obviously been a part of some storylines.

He's obviously been a part of greatness.

But whenever he's golfing and whenever his name is on that little marquee right there, it is worthy of a watch because he's not flashy,

seemingly very calm all the time.

Say he tries to stay in the moment.

Now on Saturday with a multiple stroke lead at a major, he stuck around and fixed his grip.

So I think this guy is a psycho

when it comes to golf.

This has fully consumed him.

He plays super cool whenever he's reacting.

But if you're working on your grip for a couple hours after already having a six-stroke league and having the best day that anybody's had on that course, you're a psycho.

You are all in.

You are fully committed.

And after he wins this thing, he takes it in because he knew he didn't have his best stuff, throws that down.

And what do you say right here?

That looked like a fuck yeah to me.

That looked like a fucking, so I want to let you know, Scotty, I appreciate you letting the moment get to you.

I appreciate you showcasing your emotions.

I showcase you being, I appreciate you showcasing being a human.

And we appreciate the hell out of you, Scotty.

What a tournament.

That was why we were off Thursday, Friday.

then his family obviously and then in the scoring table where he has to sign it he had to give a couple things to distract his kid very relatable I mean like everything he did this weekend was awesome and uh we we got four-day weekend out of it which uh was pretty nice we hope you guys had a great four days uh but there's a lot going on uh that's nine-year nfl vet uh ladies and gentlemen darius j butler

what you say d-buds was just good to see Bryson stick around congratulate him I know they're both Texas guys but you know like a lot of guys just get the hell out of there once they lose

he lost he kind of uh stunk it up down the stretch as well but he stuck around i think that was like an hour maybe after after he was done did some interviews and then uh you know gave him a good dap man but yeah scotty's an absolute dog absolute weapon he does even as you're in here getting getting to the slides

pocket could call it debuck yeah it's a big weekend for me because dj tour uh social media has uh seemingly really now granted thank you for the love but a lot of the shit i've been seeing i don't know if it's my algorithm showing me or if it's more stuff that i'm liking they showed up behind you.

What I've been, I've been always worried about the left arm.

I've always, that, I got a, I got a,

that's what works.

That's a right-hand drag.

That's coming out of pocket.

That's coming out of pocket.

I watched this video 50 times and I was like, seems like the right arm's doing a lot more than what I ever gave it credit for.

Yeah.

So obviously I stopped in here at the sim this weekend.

Oh, yeah.

After watching this video, baby girl goes down to sleep.

I'm like, babe, I got to get over Thunderbird real quick.

I got to work on this.

Got something.

I'll tell you what, I might be back.

Okay.

I might be back.

I was hitting that thing.

I was making solid contact.

PXGs were sitting straight.

Didn't have the sim on because once again, sim on the bottom.

Yeah, it doesn't work.

But there is a space for me to hit into.

Right, true.

The right hand looks like that's what you need.

I think you got it.

Come out of the pocket.

It looks good.

I think you need to.

Get in the slot.

The what?

The slot.

Yeah, I like those slots.

Slot it.

I like to get in that slot.

Cough is amazing.

It is.

Captivates everybody.

I assume this number is going to be gigantic, especially with the Live Boys making a run, which I thought you were going to talk about.

You put over De Chambau, obviously, he's a Live Guy YouTuber.

His YouTube is fantastic.

His content is great.

He's good for golf.

Wish he was back

in the PG.

I've come full circle on this.

Yeah.

You have?

Yeah, big time.

Because these, I mean, you saw who's number one in the highest paid athletes?

Cristiano Ronaldo.

275 million bucks.

He's playing for one team in Saudi Arabia.

Can't trust everything.

275 in a year?

I think so, yeah.

Again, you can't trust everything from there.

Yeah, you're right.

That particular site does make things up.

And also, how do you know how much money people are making every time anybody's value or worth is put on the internet?

That's a projection, a guess by most people.

Scotty,

I think DeShambo was up there.

Ron was up there 100 million.

So, like, Dustin Johnson, Rombo, DeShambo, Brooks, Bubba, Brooks, these dudes being offered hundreds of millions of dollars.

In my eyes, I'm like, you gotta take that.

Like, you have to take that.

What we didn't realize is that we literally never see him golf again.

No, like that.

I don't think I knew that that was around a corner.

I think a lot of golf people were saying, Hey, you need to think about this from a bigger picture here.

These dudes are gone.

And remember, there was a time where they weren't even going to play in the majors, and the majors are like, Nah, we ain't playing this game.

We're going to let them in there.

So thank God for the majors getting a shirt based.

But we were literally asking on Wednesday, Does Rom even golf anymore?

And then all of a sudden, we see him making a run at it on a Sunday.

It's like, okay, Rom, good to see you back.

Now, he's used to playing 54 holes.

Yeah.

And he even quoted at the end saying, man, that was fun.

It was good to be back.

It was good to be back in an actual tournament.

It was fun.

It was good to win.

He wins.

Here he is.

Here he is.

Here he is.

John, you played a hell of a round of golf today and some tough breaks down the stretch.

Just how close did it feel to being really special?

It was very close.

God, it had been

a while since I had that much fun on a golf course.

It was 15 holes, 15 holes.

Even the first

seven of the day where I was swinging well and things just weren't happening, but I kept myself in there, make the parts that I needed, and then play really good golf

from the 8th to the 15th, right?

It's just mistakes around the green.

My goal is that bunker shot on 14, I thought I landed at what I needed to.

It's just

softer bounce and a misread and then well, what to say about 15?

Man, it's great to golf again.

And yeah, the last three holes is people watching.

It feels a lot better.

It's a tough pill to swallow right now.

Yeah, he feels a lot.

That is what he said.

Let's go to the talk today by Boss Connor at Ty Schmidt.

We're all kind of on the same page.

You got to do what you got to do.

Rombo, also, humble beginnings from Spain, comes over here, golfs in this entire thing.

He's offered $250, $300 million, whatever it is.

It's like, you got to do what you got to do at that exact moment.

But it's great to see him golfing.

D.Shambo, every time he pops up at a major, Reebok, interesting sponsor.

them trying to make the comeback sweet.

Him also saying, need better golf balls.

I'm hitting the same golf balls as these other people that don't hit the ball as as much he's making new clubs he's making new golf balls obviously his YouTube his content is great but seeing them golf together was awesome this weekend and I think I understand why the golf community was so negative towards us being like they got to take the money they got to take the money and the golf community was like we're never gonna see these guys we really haven't I don't know how they get that fixed legitimately me neither and the thing that sucks the most like guys like DJ like they had their run early on and they're still fun to watch but like anytime he plays in a major you look at the leaderboard he misses the cut and it's like he's 12 over.

It's like, was he playing left-handed?

Like, did what?

I mean, what the hell is he doing?

Ram, like, the lasting image we had, remember, he won the Masters.

We had him on the show, and then right after that, he went to live.

So, like, he went, like, he left when it was like, oh, he's about to go.

We're about to have Ram versus Scotty versus Rory every single week.

And then he did.

He left, and we didn't hear anything about it.

I mean, I guess the good thing for him is he gets to fly to Hong Kong this week and try to get a live victory.

So that's nice.

Yeah, but hopefully they're playing that new Morgan Wallen

album.

37 songs a heat, by the way, with an interlude and an intro.

So I guess 35 plus songs.

Absolute heat.

Maybe they'll play Big Sky there, Parker McCollum.

How about Snoop Dogg's Is It a Crime?

Brand new album.

A lot of new music was dropped over the weekend.

Great music.

Morgan,

you can just go ahead and listen to that.

Whatever, three hours straight of that entire thing.

Bangers.

Is it a crime with Snoop?

We got a couple bops in there.

Big sky Parker McCollum, who was doing big time rodeo down there in Dallas this week.

Absolute bangers.

Hopefully they're playing that dynamic Hong Kong.

Right.

You know, because that's

I think that's Rahm's biggest ordeal is the same as me.

Hard to find live.

Then whenever we find it, it's like, why is DJ Khaled screaming, we the best, while this guy is trying to win a fucking golf tour, right?

There has to be.

I understand we want to go against the green and we want to change it.

Yeah, I get it.

They got golf pretty much figured out.

You know, we don't need the Mickey Mash shit on the screen.

I don't need music playing.

If they want to wear shorts, cool.

I don't care about the shorts.

Do the shorts.

Sure.

But the whole other thing, it's like tough to take.

We're far enough in now.

It's not the player's fault.

It's Liv's fault.

They need to make it more fun to watch.

They need to make it so people actually give a shit.

Tournaments, no one cares to watch.

No one knows who wins.

No one knows anything.

So going into this, the only one in the live tour I cared about was Bryson D.

Chambau.

Now, thankfully, Rom's still playing pretty good golf.

So he, you know, made up for that this weekend.

But it's their fault.

I don't think it's the player's fault at all.

Agreed.

How about shotgun start?

Yeah.

We're watching the end of that thing, and obviously

Scotty doesn't tee off until 240 or whatever, which is when CBS's coverage starts.

So congrats to CBS getting mad.

But watching Scotty follow Rombo, who's two holes ahead, and then see, like, that is a part of watching.

That's a part of the watching golf experience.

Adds the drama to it.

Yeah, but what we call a guy on 17, he's coming around.

You know, he's got to finish on 14.

It's like, okay, dude, at what point do you just acknowledge that maybe this hasn't been the best rollout?

Because the golfers are obviously electrifying.

Bingo, exactly.

DeShambeau is one of the most electrifying golfers on earth.

Now, nobody's more electrifying than Scotty Scheffler, but like DeShambeau is must-watch.

Sure.

And somehow that hasn't happened.

Yeah, it's still, I mean, still so early on.

Like, if you think about any type of league, any type of legacy league, like if you go and have an NFL, you can take.

eight of the top quarterbacks.

It's going to be tough to get us to actually go and watch it and take it serious and all the production shit.

True.

Aside from it.

So you do have the best players in the world, the majors.

I think the majors are now a much bigger draw.

I know, at least for me, um to watch these guys and it is getting easier to find live you know now with the fox deal and other things but like i said just is it on fox now yeah i think so fs one

i just looked it up the uh hong kong uh open uh starts at uh 12 a.m

okay so midnight run yeah midnight run at least we'll be able to see

i don't mind the world global stuff because wwe obviously does it and when you go over there and you experience it's like these fans deserve it like these fans deserve us to be here and scheduled at their time so i don't mind that with live with how international they are.

But to Ron's point, it's like, it's hard to take it serious, especially with golf with how much history and prestige, which I don't think we take the money, is what I kept saying.

I mean, still take the money.

Yeah, it's tough.

And Ron's been, I think he's finished top 10 in every Live event.

Like you said, most people aren't watching him.

We had no idea.

Yeah, but he's still playing good golf.

Bryson, we know he's playing good golf.

You know, the...

more growth in the YouTube golfers like Scotty, he just played with Grant, you know, Grant a few weeks ago.

So the more we see these guys, and obviously, the more we see them playing against each other, that's what we all want.

Hopefully, we've been hearing that they're going to get figured out, then hearing that it's not going to get figured out.

You got some deals going on right now in the Middle East, right?

Yeah, yeah,

maybe this will be a part of the uh, let's get that done as well for the good of the game, for the good of golf, is the whole good.

But PGA, I mean, this is the whole reason, Crown Prince.

God bless him, God bless him,

Big Turkey, God bless him, God bless him.

I understand what we're uh, we did with Live, but

let's make it watchable.

I think that would be cool.

How much money you've invested in the thing?

Let's make it watchable.

One marquee event that people care about.

Just give us one a year.

That's the start.

And they don't even have that year, and they've had plenty of time to build that.

That'll never happen, though.

I mean, the majors are the majors because of how the history and everything like that.

No, there's elevated events, though.

Of course, yeah.

No one gives a shit about it.

Whoa!

And we are talking about the PGA now because of what Liv did.

Like, let's not forget what the PGA was that we didn't know about during it.

Everyone has to pay their own way.

If you don't make the cut, you make no money.

You're actually losing thousands of dollars because of your stay.

Like that was all very legitimate things.

And the part that does set the tie right up, like the last thing you remember of Ram winning the major, the last thing you remember about Cam Smith, him winning over in England.

Yeah, like how awesome all that.

He was gone immediately after that.

But like the entire Liv thing worked because of the business, like because of the money, and it changed the pga like what live did for golf in general was great but now it's come full circle now where it's like hey the pga is now operates the way it should everyone's getting paid everyone's getting more money you can get your you know tour card and then you can make elevated events the elevated events with more money in the pool and with you know sometimes when those larger guys aren't in it gives other dudes opportunities so the live thing as a whole was a complete success it's just the the of the tournaments themselves don't matter as much but I mean, you brought up the game seven on Sunday.

Like, if there isn't a major on Sunday and it's just a normal PGA tour event without everybody in it, it wouldn't have had that, like, hey, let me go check it out.

Unless we found out, hey, they're on the 15th hole and it's a one-stroke leader.

Three guys are tied.

Like, you're not turning over to the PGA tour.

See, I disagree with you.

I'll have the golf art in the background Saturday, Sunday.

Always.

I'll just have it playing in the background.

Sure.

You know, like, I just, now, granted, having somebody that I know's name on there, boy, that certainly helps.

You wouldn't have turned it on if Vegas was still at the top.

Johnny Vegas?

Yeah, that's what I mean.

Like, background, background.

Background, background, background.

That's all I'm talking about.

Scotty's always on that list on some of the things.

Yeah, but Scotty's playing in all these things, though.

The guy is like committed to the game.

Yeah, but you're locked in on the PGA, like, background noise and PGA championship.

Like, you're watching every single shot.

It's a major.

Agreed.

Completely.

But if they have a good leaderboard in any of them, which I think if the live golfers were around, would be a much more prevalent type thing.

Sure.

I think would be good.

So why don't they go shake each other's hands?

Please.

Please.

Go shake each other's hands.

And if you need to make up for the money that needs to be given out to Rory and Scotty and all these other guys, figure it out.

Feels like you can do that.

Golf is awesome whenever it's rolling.

Now, you talk about the NBA.

Denver Nuggets just get run out of the fucking gym.

That's dumb.

Oklahoma City just does it.

Congrats, Oklahoma City.

They are the odds on favorites to win the NBA title.

Now, seven straight years of a new champion is what the NBA is talking about, as they should, all the way back to the Toronto Raptors, if you do recall in 2019 having a big time win for all of Canada.

Remember that?

I remember us celebrating all that.

Then it goes to the Lakers.

Then the Bucs, obviously, the bubble for the Lakers.

Then the Bucs, remember that?

You honest dreams of those days still.

Warriors, Nuggets, Celtics, and then who will it be this year?

I don't think Oklahoma City, Minnesota, and Indianapolis or Indiana haven't won.

And then the Knicks haven't won since like 1973 or something like that.

I forget the exact date.

It's been a long time.

So obviously all these cities are going to be fully invested.

All these cities are going to be incredibly excited.

All these cities know that parade season could be just about a month away.

That's right.

Oklahoma City versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.

SGA versus Ant.

I can't wait.

to watch both of these crowds do what they do.

That Oklahoma City crowd feels like a college crowd.

It feels like a college crowd.

And the way they, you know, because everybody does a white out or a blue out or whatever, the way that they do what the colleges do with the striping of the thing, and then all everybody bought in.

It's like, I love the atmosphere at OKC.

I love the way that team kind of buys into it.

A lot of people hating this team.

A lot of people do not like this OKC team.

Really?

Small market had a great year.

SGA's big smile, like the way he is.

Chet Holm Griffin, you would think they'd be very affable.

People hate the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Why is that?

I think it's because Chet Holm Grid isn't a big part of this.

Chet, I think it's also the foul merchant stuff.

Yeah, for SGA.

And then

Hartenstein, I believe.

Caruso's a dog.

I love watching this team play.

And if you run Joker in that Denver Nuggets team, even if Gordon has pulled hamstring out of the gym, I think you've warranted everybody's respect.

And then you think about the Minnesota team, Ant has become

like the guy.

Everybody enjoys watching him play.

Everybody enjoys the way he operates.

Not everybody, I guess, but a majority of sports fans are like, this guy's a dog.

We love to watch him play basketball.

Then Randall, obviously, they trade for the New York Knicks.

He's become a massive weapon for this Minnesota team.

And then if you think about the sale of the team with A-Rod and them getting involved, involved, it's like Storylines Galore, congrats to Minnesota.

Then let's go to the East.

The East is a rivalry that I don't know if a lot of people know goes back a long, long time.

Michael Cole, who's obviously a die-hard New York Knicks fan,

a guy that I get to work alongside of for Monday Night Raw, a goat in the commentator world as a whole, certainly in the wrestling world.

He said, I did some research.

Do you know the New York Knicks lead the all-time series 124 to 122 or something?

Wow.

Yes.

Great.

That is the all-time series between them.

In the playoffs, we lead the series.

I think it's like five to two or something like that.

I forget what it is.

Obviously, everybody remembers Reggie Miller and Spike Lee in the years of the past for the Pacers, and obviously with the Knicks teams.

And it's like middle of America taking on the coastal elite, biggest city in the world.

It's a great storyline, it's a great dynamic.

And then you add in this video that we saw from the weekend.

Oh, nah.

Oh,

Everybody saw that video captivate the entire internet.

And obviously, the entire city of New York got buried for like, what a bunch of scumbags.

That was a conversation.

My conversation was: who was this man that was willing to stare down 100-some people in the streets of New York just days before the Eastern Conference finals between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, we found him.

New York firefighter, Hans Perez.

How are you, man?

How you doing, guys?

I'm good, man.

I made it out.

Yes, yes,

you certainly did.

We appreciate you joining us here.

Can I just ask,

you're a Pacers.

Was this a rage bait type thing you were trying to bait these people into this are you a pacers fan?

How did you become a pacers fan in New York City?

I'm a pacers fan for life man.

They just they got my heart when I was a kid, you know, and I just stuck with them ever since.

I've been I love Reggie Miller O'Neill Artez Steven Jackson Pacers then Danny Granger came along love the Danny Granger Pacers then Paul George came along love the Paul George Pacers

Ola Depot K loved the Ola Depot Pacers, you know.

And now we're here with the Halliburton Pacers, man.

And the Halliburton Pacers, we're going to get those Knicks, man.

We got to get them.

I love that.

I love everything about it.

What were you thinking was going to happen whenever you went out there?

Were you walking home or how did you kind of find yourself in that situation?

Oh, man.

The in-laws, my in-laws live about roughly 20 blocks away around West 50th Street.

So I was dropping the kids off.

My daughter had a basketball tournament the next day.

I was working.

Couldn't make it.

So in-laws were taking them.

I said, you know what?

I've been wearing my jersey all playoff long.

I've been supporting my Pacers.

I've been wearing it all around, but I haven't went by Madison Square Garden with the jersey.

So I said, you know, I'm not going to go, I don't know if I should go into the mob, but I'm going to go close by, feel the energy, you know, get ready for the series.

You know, it could make the series even better when the Pacers beat the Knicks.

But I, you know, I should just, I want to feel this.

You know, I want to feel this.

You know, last year, game seven, Pacers Knicks, I was there.

I was at the garden.

I had tickets.

I was there with the Pacers jersey.

You know, they were a little nicer.

It wasn't a Friday night, you know, but

now this year they got me.

They got me.

Were you panicked a little bit in there or not?

Because I did some research on you.

Obviously, you're a firefighter, but also

I believe you're...

Oh, oh.

You have a little sweet science background.

Were you nervous in there?

What were your thoughts as it was kind of all happening?

All right, you know, at fun, at first, it was like dudes just talking, smacked to me.

It was a little fun, you know, dudes were just going back and forth.

But then it started getting a little, you know, a little more handsy.

Dudes wanted the jersey.

They said the jersey got to come off.

So then I started getting a little nervous.

I'm looking.

Where's the nearest police?

you know

who's gonna save me anybody here to save me you know then the mob started getting bigger and bigger and bigger i'm trying to just walk i was just trying to walk i'm like let me stay calm let me walk let me walk i know if i run who knows what that turns into i've seen that movie before when you run someone trip me or someone you know it could get worse so i just tried to walk i was like let me stay calm let me just tell guys calm down chill the series didn't start yet come on trying to say whatever i can to buy me some time how'd you get out of there how did you get out there because we don't see the video obviously after that how did Did they just stop?

They got tired.

Your boxing background?

The cardio wore them out?

What was it?

There wasn't no box.

The cardio maybe not.

But I just kept going.

I just kept walking.

I just kept saying, calm down.

Because right there, yeah, pans away.

You can't.

It looks like I just got swallowed into the mob.

But I just go.

I keep walking.

I'm like, oh man, I see some cop cars up that way.

Maybe if I could just make it over that next block, I should be maybe hopefully fine.

And then I just try to keep walking, keep walking, try to stay calm, you know, just pushing dudes' hands off my jersey, blocking.

I got a a mid, but the jersey.

Still got it.

Still got the jersey.

Okay, we still got the jersey.

Good news.

The jersey's here.

The jersey's intact.

Hey, can you show, because I think I saw a picture of maybe a tat that you have, too.

A lot of people maybe don't think.

Yeah, all right.

Boom.

Yeah, this dude's die hard, okay?

I love everything about it.

This is one of my first tattoos, like 17 years old, man.

Got it, would have got it.

Nice little kitchen tat.

Love everything about it.

Obviously, here's you with the fam, Pacers hat, Pacers jersey.

Happy to see that you're a real Pacers Pacers fan.

Sorry that that happened to you, but we actually have a special guest who wants to talk to you.

Ladies and gentlemen, the point card for the Indiana Pacers out of Iowa State, Tyrese Halliburton.

Yes.

Tyrese.

What's up, bro?

What's up, brother?

What the hell?

What the hell?

My man, how you doing?

I'm good, bro.

How are you?

I'm glad you made it out the jungle alive, bro.

I'm glad you're still here with us, man.

I'm glad to hear it.

Yeah, man, it was rough.

I feel like I'm going to war with you guys, man.

Well,

speaking of going to war with us, speaking of going to war with us, I wanted to hit you.

Pat told me he found you yesterday, called me.

I said, I got to get on the show and talk to him myself.

I want to personally bring you and a plus one out here to come to game four.

here in Indiana.

I'll bring you guys out here, put you guys up, get you guys seats of the game.

The Pacers, everybody in our organization wants to make sure you're taken care of.

All the teams are excited to meet you.

It's all we've been talking about.

Everybody's seen the video.

So, man, we want to bring you out here.

And, yeah, man, I'm really excited about that.

You in, Hans.

I believe that's on Tuesday.

I believe that's on Tuesday.

You're able to make the trip.

I know scheduling, obviously, as a firefighter is something.

You know, I got to talk to the guys.

I mean, I'm pretty sure we could work something out

to come see them.

Hey, make sure that's first class.

That's awesome.

Sorry, sir.

Make sure that flight's first class, Hans.

You know, this guy's Max Deal.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't know.

I'm not.

But hey, yo, thank you.

I just want to say thank you, Tyrese, man.

Yo, you are awesome.

The team is awesome.

I appreciate that.

And, man, let's go Pacers, man.

Let's go Pacers.

We'll see you on Tuesday, Hans.

We'll see you on Tuesday, right?

Hopefully, yes, God willing.

Let's go.

Okay.

Tyrese,

you're a good man.

I'll have my people.

My people reach out.

But again, I just want to make sure I tell you, I appreciate the way you handled that with such class.

I know it's so, that's a hectic, crazy time.

And I appreciate the way you handle that.

I appreciate you showing love to organization, showing love to myself personally.

That means the world to me, man.

And that video, when I saw it, I was shocked.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

But I'm

glad that we found you.

And hopefully, I can meet you here within the next week.

That'd be pretty awesome.

So I appreciate you again, man.

Pat, thank you so much.

much.

You good?

We good?

We doing this?

Hey, I'm in.

I'm good.

I'm in.

All right, boom, me back.

We appreciate you, Hans.

Tyrese, you're the man for this.

Tyrese actually was the one that hit me up and said, hey, can we find this guy?

And that's why I put out the tweet that was like, somebody find this man.

And with the, you know, there's a lot of drawbacks of the internet.

There's a lot of drawbacks of things.

But being able to find you, Tyrese was the one that wanted me to basically put out the search.

And whenever, I think it was one of your coworkers, I believe, said, hey, I know this guy.

And then Bruce Brown went on the hunt, started sending messages.

The fact that we were able to find you is a gift from the internet.

And the fact that you are putting on for the Pacers is good for our team as we head into the Eastern Conference Finals.

We appreciate the hell out of both of you.

Yes, sir, man.

Hans, appreciate it, bro.

That's good.

So pumped that we got a chance to connect those two this morning.

Hans, dog,

absolute dog.

And obviously, he's a firefighter in New York.

He's been a Pacer fan his entire life.

I think he doesn't shy away from potentially talking shit, you know, to people, especially if you're going to be a Pacers fan in New York City, surrounded by New York Knicks fans.

Him saying he didn't expect it to get that wild, just trying to keep us calm, keep us cool.

Once again, I appreciate everything about him.

And a lot of people say, New York City's trash, whatever.

It's like, I think you could find a lot of cities.

that would have people that would potentially react in the same way.

Maybe not throwing trash back, but certainly talking shit in their entirety.

The Knicks and Pacers are a great rivalry.

Obviously, we want to keep everything,

you know, above board.

Let's not make anybody get injured, but a good rivalry.

And Hans being in our building is going to be a beautiful thing.

Shout out to Tyrese Halliburton trying to make that all happen.

Yeah.

Awesome.

Now, while we were running that, ladies and gentlemen, Something massive happened out of the NFL.

Oh, really?

Massive.

Now, the NFL League meetings are going to take place

Wednesday, Thursday, I believe.

And we'll have Ian Rappaport join us here in a matter of moments to chit-chat about everything that's going to go down over there.

But the Philadelphia Eagles have signed their head coach, Nick Siriani, to an extension.

Wow.

All right, guys.

Congratulations, Paison.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

Obviously, there was a lot of people mocking him and calling for his head, basically.

This guy's not one of us.

This guy's a bum.

This guy needs to get the hell out of town.

This guy's spending too much time yelling at the fans as opposed to coaching the players.

This guy's acting like a child behind the scenes.

But then you watch the way that team came together and you watch the way the team has rallied around him and you watch the the way the team prepares and the way the team plays with him as the head coach you think to yourself maybe this guy isn't some big dumb dipshit Maybe this guy's a good football coach.

Dad was a ball coach, obviously grew up in the entirety of it all.

What he's done for Philadelphia, I think, is match the personality of the team.

And I think the city even is starting to realize this guy matches the personality of our city as well.

This is when things kind of come together perfectly.

Yeah, you said matching and personality.

That's the perfect way to put it because it's so many different now with all the behind the scenes stuff that we see with different coaches and different teams from across sports.

You can just see that everybody kind of goes about it their own way.

And the way that he goes about it, obviously the guys buy into it year in and year out.

And this year was different.

This year you bring Saquon over, you lean on the run game heavily.

You get the explosive plays from a majority run game.

Some of your receivers may have to sacrifice him being a receiver guy formerly here in a lot of other places.

And he's just been perfect, man.

You talked about a lot of talking heads, calling for his head.

And then now we are going into the next season.

He's a Super Bowl champ, getting an extension.

Well deserved from Nick Siriani and everybody over there in Philly, man.

I love this.

You talk about bringing in saquan barkley and obviously howie and jeff and everybody and bradley cooper got to agree to these deals uh drafting and the exciting whites in the back is also hilarious

yeah absolutely bradley cooper actually made the pick of uh all that so gave the motivational speech on the field before the boys went out and routed uh the incredible kansa chiefs but having a brand new player come into your team yes and take over the offense when you've already max paid two guys that are wide receivers, like that could be a tough task for a coach to keep a locker room together especially you talk about sacrificing targets it's like a j brown devante they're already sacrificing targets for each other yeah now they come in and we're going to be a run first team it's like the coach has to keep everybody together and guess who are the ones that dumped the gatorade on nick siriani after he won the super bowl it was a j brown devante smith the wide receivers who he had to rally and keep invested because we've all seen that these aren't madden scorers and madden players playing on teams these are actual humans who worry about their legacy they worry about their future contracts they worry about their targets they They worry about their success.

They worry about how much they matter to the team because if you don't matter the team, you're a piece of gum.

They will cut your ass.

So whenever wide receivers get a little greedy and say, I want the ball, I want the ball, I want the ball.

It's always a negative thing.

But these guys are trying to build their careers.

These guys are trying not to get cut.

These guys are trying to get their next contracts as well.

So him being able to navigate those waters, when they, they were the first team in a long time.

They outrushed.

They ran like 200 more running plays than they did passing plays.

Like that doesn't happen in the modern NFL until because they were willing to do it.

Shout out to Kelly Moe, obviously, the head coach down there for the New Orleans Saints, the offensive coordinator, sticking with it.

Shout out to Saquon Barkley being so damn explosive.

But the head coach, having to keep everybody on the same page, Big Dom back, obviously, in the building matters a lot.

But him being able to keep everybody on the same page, that's coaching.

Yes.

That is literally what coaching is, bringing the best out of your team.

And he has the proofs important there.

And then all the turnover at the coordinator positions, you know, year in and year out.

You talked about Kelly Moe, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinators, draft, how he's done a great job drafting.

You talked about Cooper Cooper DeGine, but Quinyon Mitchell as well, who was a phenomenal rookie corner.

Jalen Carter and Cole, and then the trenchies.

You know, they won the trenchie last year.

And so they got the best offensive line week in and week out.

Like, that's how you want to build a football team.

And I think we'll see a lot of teams trying to copy this style.

A lot of Italians over there.

He brings in Vic Fangio to be D.C.

Remember, Vic Fangiover is what I'm saying, Tone.

Yeah, because I mean, offensive side, it's going to be 4-0 C's in four years, but then on the defensive side,

their offense was fine last, two years ago.

When that whole thing happened, when the late season season collapse happened, everything was they had like the 28th-ranked defense.

And for him to bring in Vic Van Joe, who's one of the greatest defense corners of all time, brings it in, who he wasn't working out in Miami.

He brings him in here.

A culture difference here for the Eagles and the draft picks that they did in the secondary turned the defense around, which really led them to the Super Bowl.

And they paid this guy early.

It's like they're doing everything right.

Somehow, Philadelphia is leading the way in this entire thing.

Weird.

Congrats, Philly.

That is weird.

No, that's Philly.

I get you.

Congrats, Philly.

Shane Gillis right now is telling us to shut the fuck up.

I want to hear now.

Go, Birds, Go, Birds.

A lot of John's over there excited about the Siriani extension.

Good news.

I am hearing.

Yep, Coach Siriani is currently having a live press conference.

Let's go over to that.

I believe he's taking a stand.

Oh, he's already out of stand.

Okay.

Yep, he's

addressing the media now.

First and foremost, I'd like to just say, you know, thank you to everybody who showed up today.

A lot of people are saying things about how

in the past

I may not have been the best coach.

A lot of people called me a big dumb dipshit for the entire season.

This guy doesn't know how to coach.

This guy's a moron.

He talks like a moron.

His expressions and the way he talks about the team, he's a fucking moron.

Well,

I also happen to be the best fucking coach in the NFL.

So, you know, everyone wants to kind of, you know, throw the flowers on me and heap praise.

Listen, I know we got a lot of coaches in this league who couldn't teach a dog to sit down.

I can do that because I am the best.

I'm the best coach in Eagles history.

I have no problem saying that.

Sorry, Andy Reid.

I beat your ass in a Super Bowl.

And listen, this isn't going to be a really long, drawn-out thing.

It was a multi-year extension.

I told Jeff and Howie right away, I said, listen, I'm thinking 10 years, 250 mil.

So it's up to you.

I don't want to get into my finances I'm not gonna get into my business let's just say that you know we win another Super Bowl I don't know maybe coach Sirian goes to the highest bidder so we'll see you know it's one of those things where you know you prove time and time again you are the best there was the best there is the best there ever will be shout out Brett Hart that you know you're just you're gonna keep winning that's what I do I will end this I'm not gonna take any questions because the proof's in the pull I might I might go buy a new luxury vehicle or something like that.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with all this money.

Maybe wipe my ass with a couple hundreds.

For anyone who at any point in this last year, year before that, year before that, said I was a big dumb dipshit or questioned my integrity, my coaching abilities.

Matter of fact, this is going to go out to everybody, but we're going to start.

This is a personal invitation for Dan R.

Brown,

bro.

Later today, I'm probably going to go down, either be at Geno's or Pats.

I'm going to go to the bank and I'm going to get, I don't know, let's say, I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get $10,000 in cash out.

Dan, if you'd like to come down and eat some dog shit off the ground.

I think we got his breast conference.

I will personally give you $100 and that goes for anyone else who has said anything that good about me.

He wants to ging Goldbergs.

I'm the best coach in the NFL.

It's great to be Philly, baby.

Here come the dogs.

Okay, so obviously he's pretty proud of himself as he should be.

Happy we cut to that.

Yeah, me too.

I can't believe we caught that.

Good work in the back, boys.

Great work in the back catching that.

I think Zito said, hey, Coach Sirioni has a press conference, I think, coming up.

And I'll tell you what, the fact that we're able to just get the feed.

Yeah.

It's fantastic.

Just clean, too.

Very clean.

And it sounded like he had, were people telling him what to say?

Did I did I see?

Yeah, no, he was listening to cadences in his ears.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who might have a little bit more information on what we just heard from that press conference.

Senior NFL insider for the NFL Now.

Sorry, I saw a man sprint over there.

Ladies and gentlemen, you're a wrapper boy.

See that press conference?

I know we were probably the only one that got it.

Did you hear anything that kind of stuck out to you about this extension that the Philadelphia Eagles just gave to Coach Siriani there, rap sheet?

I mean, there was a lot there.

I'll tell you what about Coach Siriani.

He is his own man.

Some of that

some of that trash talking or real talking, you don't hear a lot of coaches say that.

You don't hear a lot of, what was that that's the same thing i just saw earlier you see i think we got a little bit of a i think we got a little bit of a ghost coming you know in and going coach on and he just left the building how could i just look tv is amazing as is youtube by the way great platform gonna have an nfl game this year i love it how is it possible that someone could be in philly what but then in indy so so quick i don't know what are you you're talking to the toxic table right now is that what you're saying what do you have to say about the toxic table what are you talking about you talking about?

Did he take his ear out?

What did who?

Then you spell out his ears.

Are I just like me?

We got weird ears.

Oh, yeah, got it.

Okay.

All right.

We're good.

Anyways, Coach Siriani extension.

Did we know this was coming?

I assume we should have expected it after he, like, I guess he proved himself, is how people would consider it in Philadelphia, or was Philadelphia Brass always behind Siriani, even though it got very loud outside of it, outside of this program?

Well, first of all, it's always going to get loud in Philly, and Philly is not for everyone.

I would say to succeed there as an athlete, as a coach, as an executive,

you got to take a lot.

A lot of shrapnel, a lot of blows, a lot of blowback.

It is a lot of booze.

It is not for everyone.

But if you win there,

if you win there,

then it is special.

And I think Nick Siriani is kind of...

finding that out now.

Jeffrey Lurie mentioned that this was probably coming during the owners meetings in March.

Felt like at the time they were close to a deal.

And usually when an owner says, you're close to a deal, that deal is definitely getting done.

But Siriani, to me, is so, so fascinating.

One, obviously wins at the highest level.

I mean, you win a Super Bowl.

Like, that's...

If that's the only thing that matters, then a guy does that and you reward him.

But I think the other thing is when he got hired, a lot of people, including me, watched his press conference and took this coach who most people hadn't really heard of,

who hadn't, you know, certainly hadn't proven himself as like the top coordinator.

And we're like, does Philly know what it's doing?

What they found, what we didn't know, was an elite leader.

Like, all take all the things you want, play calling and whatever, like an elite leader of men.

And that is really what he is.

He has proven that they are the champs, and he is very richly rewarded.

Less thinky, more athlete takeovery, if I do recall.

And then I think there was seeds being planted in

manure.

Yep.

And then obviously it'll come through.

The flowers won't bloom until later, which is a metaphor that a lot of coaches use.

Like, hey, we're chopping wood right now.

We're just chopping right now.

Bamboo.

Yeah, it's like bamboo grows later.

So that was his way of saying that particular message.

But the way it was landed upon a lot of people's ears, ourselves included, especially after the less thinky, more athlete take over.

It's like,

what is this guy?

And then that was around the time of Dan Campbell's press conference, too, where, you know, he's gnawing kneecaps and it was like, wait a minute, what the hell's going on here?

And it's like, oh,

it's not just about being a good play caller for some of these people.

It's about can you cultivate a culture?

Can you make people go in the same direction?

We chatted about it before Coach Siriani's press conference there, which I still don't know how we were able to get such a good live feed.

Crazy.

And he had a lot to say.

Yeah, as he shake.

Thank you.

It's journalism.

Preakness.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

Nobody cares.

Journalism won.

That sucks for journalism.

I was waiting on that.

I mean, look, it took a little grit, took a little toughness in the end journalism prevailed yeah i i think so in something less important uh but congrats to journalism getting a big time win we are happy for the damn horse yeah without a doubt absolutely happy for the damn horse but whenever they're hiring these people to bring a culture in together there's a lot of analytics based people and play calling people and pundits and experts that obviously don't think it's the right move but it's like have have we seen a shift do you think in some of these teams like Kelly Moe, obviously an incredible play caller.

He gets the job down there.

But do you think there's in New Orleans, do you think the leader of men has become a bigger conversation than maybe it was for like, what, five, 10 years there, basically?

McVeigh

changed everything, seemingly.

People forgot about having to lead an entire building, lead a bunch of men.

Because we talked about A.J.

Brown, Devontae Smith could be very pissed.

Even Jalen, because Jalen doesn't get to spin it 30, 40 times if that's what he wants to do.

They bring in a new guy from a division rival and he becomes the focal point of the offense and everybody's rowing in the same direction.

And A.J.

Brown and Devontae are the the ones that dump the Gatorade on him at the end of the year.

It's like that is something that you can't teach.

I think that is a special, special quality.

I wonder how many teams are thinking like that though, going forward.

Well, more and more.

I think you're right.

I mean, the focus on the kind of leader of men, which I wish there was like a better phrase for it, right?

But the problem is, is I don't know how to actually describe how guys like Nick Siriani and Dan Campbell have done it, except for that phrase, right?

Like it's kind of a clunky phrase, but like this is really what they do.

They take everyone, they get them all pointed in the right direction, they teach them to compete at the like, at unbelievable levels, they teach them that helping the team win is more important than whatever stats would come with that.

They put it all together, they put it on the field, and then, you know, if there's other areas where they're not like superstars, like for Dan Campbell, get a really good play caller.

Obviously, I had that with Ben Johnson for years.

And like, you can fix a lot of the other stuff or help assist on a lot of the other stuff, but actually leading is probably the most important and I would say like I so to me when the Jets hired Aaron Glenn I was kind of like all right I feel like teams are getting it right because he was a good coordinator the defense was was good but you talk to people inside the building talk to people who knew Aaron Glenn for a long time and they would always say he is going to be a better head coach than a coordinator because he is a leader.

And for years, I was sort of like, why has nobody picked up on this?

But maybe they are now and like that's really good to see.

I think so too.

Aaron Rodgers, I assume, didn't get a chance to experience that with Aaron Glenn.

It's a story that we heard.

How about him saying we're moving on, dude?

Aaron Glenn, just saying, we're moving on.

I don't even want to talk about it.

Gar quarterback we got next season.

Let's go ahead and just keep it moving.

Good.

Sounds like that meeting was a fast one.

What's that?

Sounds like that meeting was a fast one.

Yeah.

Yeah, certainly much quicker than the flight it took to get there.

Without a doubt.

Much, much quicker.

2000.

Yeah, much, much, much faster than the flight it cooked.

Whatever the case, you got to lead your team and direct your team however the hell you need to lead it.

I assume Aaron will understand that as the days move past the event.

New GM, new head coach.

Good luck to them.

I hope they get the culture rolling.

Now, let's talk about the league.

League meetings happening Wednesday, Thursday.

Is that when it's taking place this week?

There's a lot of things.

Tuesday, Wednesday.

Tuesday, Wednesday, sorry.

There's a lot of things that are still unresolved from previous league meetings.

And then something being added in this flag football vote for whether or not NFL players will be allowed to play in the Olympics.

This is something the NFL owners have to vote upon.

That is going to be something.

I hope it's a yes.

Okay.

Now, the NFL is gigantic.

So the NFL doesn't need my entire marketing speech.

But when the NHL took the NHL players out of the Olympics, I thought it was a terrible idea for the NHL that was trying to build after a lockout, after everything like that, because they were taking the best players off the ice for the entire sport of hockey.

So people weren't able to see the best players at hockey, so hockey wasn't as good.

And if they would have been able to connect like they did with the Four Nations, I think it could have grew the sport.

I thought the owners in the NHL were wrong in doing that.

For football, I think a lot of these owners are going to be like,

did you see what we just paid these quarterbacks?

And they're going to play flag football for the Olympics?

I think there's a chance they say no to this.

Or are you thinking that there's a chance that the NFL guys will be in the Olympics, Rapaport?

I think to me, just kind of my read on the situation, because it was introduced pretty late, right?

Like a couple days before the meeting,

it was kind of added to the agenda.

That makes me think that the discussion, a lot of the discussion, has already happened.

I mean, I'm not saying they're not going to debate it, but to me, adding something like this, a fully detailed resolution right before the owners' meeting, means there must be at least enough support to give this like real consideration.

So

add this now.

They should do this.

It feels like there's a pretty good chance it happens.

Now, I would say I was interested in in one per team because like,

I don't know how you like,

what if there's more?

Like, there's probably two guys deserving.

Like, it's, it's not going to be perfect.

And, like, if, if you're the second guy in a team, but you're the best, I don't know, tight end or whatever it is, like, should you not be alive?

Like, I have questions there, but it feels to me like there's enough support where, like, this could be an unbelievably star-studded Olympic, like, must-see event.

Yeah, and for the boys, you know, that'll play in this entire thing, they grew up probably playing some Olympic sports, you know, some things or maybe yearning to maybe compete in the Olympics, getting a chance to be in the Olympic opening ceremony.

Yeah,

like all like the NBA guys, watching them do it, it's like they've done it all, obviously.

But watching them in the opening ceremony, representing the country, the gold medal, like that is a cool thing.

Now, granted, them creating the sport for our Olympics, you know, there's going to be some teams that are really bad at flag football.

There's going to be some countries that are going to be really, really bad at flag football.

Now, I assume there's going to be some countries that are going to be much better than we could have expected because football has academies in a lot of these countries.

A lot of these guys maybe potentially grew up playing in these flag football leagues that have been started internationally.

But America should win regardless.

Because remember, we got that one guy who's better than Patrick Mahomes.

Yeah, Dussette.

What's his name?

Like Darnell Dussette.

Here's what he said to TMZ.

At the end of the day, I feel like I'm better than Patrick Mahomes because of my IQ of the game.

I know he's right now the best in the league.

I know he's he's more accurate.

I know he has all these intangibles.

But when it comes to flag football, I feel like I know more than him.

Which is probably accurate.

Different sport, different game.

Hopefully he would help Patrick Mahomes learn the game.

Head coach.

Or compete with him.

I mean,

let him battle it out.

I mean, Mahomes maybe show up to the tryout.

No, I feel like

holding the clips to produce ownership.

Darius says there's no chance they pass this.

No chance they pass.

You don't think?

First of all, we wouldn't need NFL players.

I think miles ahead.

It would be great because it is in America.

It is in L.A., so whatever.

But 2028, we'll probably have 18 games by that time.

Way too much money invested in these players for you lose a receiver or running back or somebody out there running a route and you lose them for a season that's making $35, $40 million a year.

Come on.

And I love the Olympics.

Gold medals.

Gold medals.

You know, the players will be, it'll be cool to represent our country.

Thank you, Country, for representing our country.

No, he didn't pay $7,000.

He was offered the opportunity to pay $7,000.

That's right.

Yeah, and

these NFL guys will miss out.

The NHL voted that way.

I thought it was bad for the sport, and it didn't help grow the sport.

Football is already so gigantic.

I don't know if that's the marketing goal.

But America, who's going to be in there?

Jerry Jones maybe gives a speech.

So we're going to let the opportunity to potentially China win in flag football

in America?

I don't think so.

We need to win this thing.

We need to send it.

Hopefully, there's that.

We get to watch it.

It'll make the Olympics much more lively.

We would also like to offer up, we'll head coach the team.

Boom, bro.

Yeah, we'll head coach the team.

Gonna need good coordinators.

Deuce it.

Yeah.

Yep.

We'll head coach it.

Imagine just getting an Olympic gold medal.

That'd be pretty cool.

That's so cool.

Yeah, I would love to see you.

This is the one you're going to do.

Huh?

Yeah.

Coaches, get one?

Like, how does that work?

Oh, you did not?

We just talked about Sirian.

We just talked about Sirian getting an extension, talking about how great of a cultivator of culture he is.

What do you think it's going to be like bringing all these superstars into a sport they've never played before?

Ask Hurt Brooks.

Yes.

What do you think?

Everybody's going to want Target.

Exactly.

Well said.

Exactly.

All right, let's move past this because you don't get it.

You don't get it.

You don't get it.

We would love all of us.

All of us to be the head coach of Team USA and the flight.

Not you, Rappaport.

No Olympic coaches do not typically receive medals.

We do not want to coach.

We do not want to coach.

They got a bad team.

We do not want to coach this team.

We do not have the time.

We will watch and support from afar we'll be in the crowd we'll be in the crowd cheering on steve hurt all right let's let's move to some steve curtain

there's no way that is

it's definitely not for sports like that are team herb brooks did not he did not her brooks didn't win a fucking gold medal you kidding that's a lie the olympics i knew that i'm not even getting into it i'm not even getting into it with the olympics i'm not even getting into it let's move along League meeting.

We got to be quick here.

We're running out of time.

Boys got a lot of great questions.

A lot of things happen.

Herb.

League meeting tomorrow.

I cannot believe that.

That's maybe the biggest travesty of all time.

There's been a hundred movies made about this.

Guys,

Coach K is also known as Coach K.

He has won multiple gold medals.

Yeah, but

they don't know if he's actually received them.

Okay, if you can win a gold medal and receive a gold medal, we would like to offer up our services to be head coach only.

We'll need coordinators.

We'll need people running day to day.

We'd love to come in and give speeches and get the fuck out of town.

Okay, if that is available.

And also need the medals.

Can take the reservation.

Just can't hold the reservation.

You can win a gold medal.

You just can't get a gold medal.

Let's move along.

Coaches are more important than that.

Just want to let the Olympics know that.

Quickly, league meetings.

We're going to put up a graphic here.

The load and your time thing are all things that have either been pushed or presented for these meetings.

What do you think passes?

What do you think doesn't pass?

I would say the my educated guess is there is a change to the tush push.

Now, right now, the language has been, I believe, not changed.

I would expect come Tuesday morning or whenever they first kind of introduce things, maybe Tuesday afternoon, there'll probably be some new language aimed at eliminating any player from pushing or pulling another player.

Like, not specific to this play, because I'm not sure the league wants to specifically ban this play.

It'd be probably more the mechanism that is used in this play.

In other words, like Saquon and Goddard and players like that pushing other players.

So, to me, it feels like there's probably movement there.

I think that makes sense.

And we'll see where it shakes out on Wednesday.

The

replay assist, I believe that's,

I think we're already good on that one.

The seating.

So that's the one that the Lions put forth.

By the way, Wednesday morning is when this is going to be debated, not Tuesday afternoon.

So Wednesday morning.

Wildcard seating is an interesting one because that was where the Lions said maybe division winners don't get a home game I don't know that that's got enough support but I I believe it's going to be discussed there's people who think this may be more like when the eventually goes to 18 games this would be introduced but you also could do like if a team doesn't have a winning record and they're the conference winner, maybe then they don't host.

So I think these are some of the bigger issues to be discussed Wednesday.

Okay, I'm looking forward to what they do.

We need flag football.

Yeah, but there's a lot of money being given out to these players, especially some new money.

Got it, D-Buck.

Yeah, quarterback, big quarterback deal.

Brock Bertie gets done to join that $50 million club.

The actual deal, what are the actual details and guarantees with his new deal?

Okay, so it is $53 million a year.

So it is $5 for $265, if my math is correct.

A couple of key things.

$181

million guaranteed for injury.

Just total guarantees.

That's a really good number.

The deal averages, we've seen some kind of like back-loaded deals where it looks like a number, but you know, you're never going to make the number that's like the last year of the deal.

This is not that.

This is a really good, strong cash flow, front-loaded deal.

Purdy will make an average of $55 million

over the first three years of the new deal.

So, basically, like if there was a debate on should he make 50, 52, 53, 55, averages 53, but over the the first three years, he makes 55.

That is really good and solid, and he gets a no-trade clause, which, you know, I think for

players really like the security of knowing that if something catastrophe happens, they're in control of their own destiny.

So that's kind of how this all breaks down.

I thought a really, really good deal for Purdy.

49ers did absolutely fine as well.

Okay, so 55 over the first three years, that might as well be the deal because it's a five-year deal, so he's only going to play one more year after that without getting a new deal.

And if it all works out well, they'll probably renegotiate again, kick the can down the road.

So this is 55 over the first three years, then it drops down for years four and year five.

Let's assume after year four, probably back to renegotiation if it's doing well.

So he's getting about $54 million a year.

Congratulations, Brock Perkins.

What a story.

What a story.

Yes.

Mr.

Irrelevant.

Yeah, pretty good.

It's crazy.

Out of Iowa State, nowhere near the starter.

for the San Francisco 49ers.

They had another guy actually practicing on another field during training camp that was supposed to be, and he ended up being back on the team.

They didn't want to hand the thing, like,

this was not supposed to be the guy.

Yeah, Trey Land number three overall.

This guy was not supposed to be the guy at all.

All he did was just prepare himself for the moment.

And when the opportunity arose, he took advantage of it.

And now he's getting $54 million a year over the next three years.

Guaranteed.

Congratulations, buddy.

All right.

Rap, we appreciate you joining us, brother.

Have an incredible Monday.

And you're traveling down to the owners' meetings or you're going to keep on top of the owners' meetings via your Twitter account?

We'll keep on top.

We got the esteemed Tom Pelicero in Minnesota.

Oh, home time.

We will be keeping him and Judy are there.

I will be manning the station here.

Well, we appreciate the hell out of you, man.

You're the man.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Unrapper Poro.

Yeah, yeah.

That party story is beautiful.

That's American Dream, baby.

It's crazy.

Mr.

Relevant and no trade clause.

Like, it's what?

Three, four quarterbacks in the middle.

800K to 55 million.

Had a roommate.

Now he's got a palace.

If you're thirsting for no, we aren't there yet, kids won't stop crying.

We brought snacks, but they wanted other snacks.

Stop pulling each other's hair and we made it 14 minutes with no screens level refreshment.

We definitely have that.

Swing by Circle K

Sports!

Are wonderful.

There's a lot happening.

Obviously, we're at the Eastern Conference finals and Western Conference finals for the NBA and the NHL.

And boy, what a time for the NFL.

They got league meetings happening the next two days that could change the trajectory of football forever.

Will these NFL guys be allowed to play in the Olympics or not?

That'll be voting on Wednesday morning.

Will the tush-push still exist?

Ian Rapport says, feels like that's going to get changed.

Feels like there's going to be some rules that are added, not necessarily saying you can't tush-push, but you certainly can't pull, drag, or do any other type of movement of somebody else.

We'll be excited to see how they word it, and we'll be excited to see how coaches take advantage of the new rules to still get the same play accomplished without having to do, you know, maybe 700 pounds

of human being pushed over one particular guy's head.

The rule has been changing the passion in special teams.

Defense used to be a pusher for field goal blocks.

They banned that because whenever they started doing the math on how much weight was going over somebody's head, they thought that wouldn't be healthy.

Now, granted, do they use the same thing for this?

Because it's an offensive play and Philadelphia Eagles are better than everybody else at it, so it must be a talent trait, not just a weight trait.

We shall see, but we all assume that if it's gotten this far in the conversation and people have been confident enough to be loud about it not being a football play, there'll be some sort of tinkering to it.

What will that be?

We shall see Wednesday morning.

The Olympics, obviously, and then the playoff seating, which we thought there was no chance of them changing because of how successful super wild card weekend has already been.

They're saying maybe, maybe there is a little bit of a change, especially if you're under 500 and you somehow win your division.

Maybe you don't deserve a home playoff game and somebody else does.

That seems to make sense to me too.

Feels like the NFL is throwing some heat in some changes that they're making.

All of these conversations would normally take 10 to 15 years in the past for the NFL to change them.

All of them.

We'll have a conversation.

Everybody can eat shit.

We're not changing anything.

Well, we're talking about it.

Moving to the next meeting.

Definitely talking about it.

And I'll tell you what, this time we're talking about it, a little bit more intensity.

nothing happens.

Then, boom, next time it's on the agenda.

I think this is the time.

Boom, boom.

They just kicked the can down the road basically with everything.

Feels like they understand where the NFL is, where football is as a whole, want to make it as best as they possibly can.

And to that, we say thank you.

Good work out there.

League's doing well.

Yeah, league's doing very well.

Nine-year NFL vet, Darius J.

Butler's here.

You look super cool.

Great weekend for the Butlers, right?

It was.

It was a great weekend.

My daughter, she won the Coach's Player of the Year award

volleyball, which is awesome.

So, super, super proud of her.

That was awesome.

You know, just got a chance to watch sports.

And play a little hoops.

Play a little hoops, got lumped up.

I mean, physicality.

We had game seven for the Panthers as well, so I just took my lumps for the squad.

So, yeah, it was a great, great weekend for me and the family.

So, what happened, though?

What happened, though, with the physicality?

You know, because I'm a guy playing both ends of the basketball court.

I'm not quite Gary Vee.

Pick up game, pick up game, and going.

So, a little help defense.

Guy gets beats off the dribble.

I'm going to help.

Guy fouls and pushes my teammate into me.

I catch back his head right to the lip.

So, it's a big cut.

You know, you ever get a cut in the mouth, it's always, if it's deep, it's like, okay, do I go and get stitches?

Do I just thug it out?

Decide to thug it out.

Well, is that a three-pound bag of ice you had on your face?

Yeah, at least.

I mean, we got one size-fits-all sandwich bags here, so

you know, 15 minutes on, get a little bit of swelling down

before going live.

But, you know, it's part of the game.

I turned around and I just see this massive bag on the side of D-But's face, and I'm like,

what is he?

What is that?

And then I look closer, it's ice.

I'm like, holy shit, that's a massive bag of ice.

Is it the whole?

Is it your whole

jaw?

Not so much.

Yeah.

Not so much, just mostly the whole head.

It was the mouth.

That one's the most annoying, I think.

When you get, when you first get hit, and it's just numb.

You know, I wasn't sure if I lost a couple of teeth.

It wasn't.

Yeah.

Punch.

Swallowing it too?

Are we water?

Yeah, a little, little.

Like a bottle.

Cold water, cold water.

You know, put the cold water in there.

Did you guys win?

Okay.

Congratulations, man.

Let's go.

But I mean,

look, you got, you got fucking.

Your bicep is still.

This thing's even worse.

Just that time of year.

Yeah.

It's on its way to trips.

Is that from Goonter?

Yeah, it's from Goon Turtle.

I think that's potentially an elbow when he was doing the because it lines up with

you see.

Yeah.

So I think it was an elbow just to the shoulder, which I didn't know that was part of his moves.

I couldn't prepare for.

I don't know if anybody does the elbow to the shoulder.

It's not a bad little shot.

I'll tell you what, it's been the most lingering.

Tyler gets all that metal.

I bet he's got one of those too from those elbows you gave him.

Boom.

Oh, yeah.

You're talking about when he gave me a headwalk.

Two handy.

Not at the end.

Thought I have a little bit more juice on that.

Really don't know how that one didn't work.

I saw somebody say, I can't believe he didn't go down to those kicks.

Me neither, brother.

Exactly.

You should have seen what I was thinking.

This guy, he had one cat.

I didn't like that.

Well, he was just letting me know.

Yeah.

And I'll take, boom.

Think about how much, boom.

Internal bleeding.

Boom.

Yeah, I have internal bleeding right now in that left arm there.

And

we go sleeper.

We take a little nap there in St.

Louis.

That's the way it goes.

Go, blues.

Go, blues.

Go, blues.

Go blues.

Toxin Davis here at Busta Conner at Ty Schmidt.

One half of the hammer.

Cowboys, AP Tone is here.

Debut, we're happy the moth is all right.

Joining us now is a man who was cutting his grass at about midnight the other night.

Had a splunking light on his forehead.

His wife posted it on her instagram story i thought it was a good problem solving billies uh i guess not everybody saw it neighbors said it was a little loud and the lines were certainly crooked ladies and gentlemen aj hawk

aj is this normal little midnight run uh for cutting the grass out there and i love you looking over at what what with the light

is this the first time you've done this or is this just uh standard operating procedure for aj hawk uh no i mean this has happened uh many times in the past she just she pulled in and saw me you know just trying to take down some of the side yards just where the kids play sports and play games.

So, yeah, I just got to knock it down a bit.

You know how the grass, the grass grows like four inches a day, I feel like now with all the rain.

So, yeah, I started, it wasn't dark.

It became dark.

I mowed for about 30, 40 minutes in the pitch black, but I got a little headlamp on.

We're good.

When did you find, so you took the Splunken light with you out there, knowing that it could get dark, and you've done this before?

No, I started without it, and then I had to, you know, circle back to the garage and pick it up once it got too dark to actually see, because I didn't want it to to look completely terrible.

I don't care if it's perfect, but I want to, you know, I want it to look decent.

You know what?

We woke up, looked at it, looked pretty good.

Yeah, I'm sure it did.

And you felt like a genius when you were like, oh, spoil spoil oil on my forehead.

Yeah, well,

I had the light.

I had the light in my garage.

I've had it for years.

And when I figured out how bright this thing was, I can adjust it to like, it'll illuminate the whole side yard, man.

I'm telling you, it's pretty legit.

So, yeah, when I first figured it out maybe a couple years ago, I said, yeah, this is the answer.

I don't need headlights.

I'm a genius here.

Yeah.

Congrats.

Pretty much.

Way to be a good dad, good husband over there.

I got a Canadian geese crew that is taking over my yard.

Oh, taking it over.

Chewing it.

You got to send the dogs out.

You got to get the dogs to scare them away, don't you?

My dogs?

No.

Yeah, Chuck.

Let Chuck sprint around there.

The fat Chuck rolling around in the goose poop.

The goose poop is the problem.

Yeah, so.

So they obviously chew up everything and they're annoying.

And they,

I actually

won back this weekend.

I was like, I'm done with you.

And I looked it up.

You're not allowed to kill these things.

Are you sure?

You did your outfit though?

I did, yeah.

And I even hissed back, too.

I give a because they'd lift their shit and then they do this little neck thing and they hiss.

But I looked up the law.

I'm not allowed to like murder it.

But if that thing attacks me and I punt the head off of that.

You can maim them.

Yeah.

So.

I thought if you had a sword, you could kill it.

I don't know if sword hunting is.

It's your property, though.

It's your property.

If you feel threatened, you can take care of them, right?

There's all these things going through my head because I was sick of it because there's just goose poop fucking everywhere.

You know, I did a little pressure washing on my pool, around my pool to get all this goose poop off of this thing.

The fucking thing behind me rattles into the pool.

Okay.

I had to pick the pressure water up out of the fucking pool.

Okay.

Put this thing down.

Then it dries off, starts to choke.

Oh, yeah.

Put that thing back out of the run.

Let me pull this fucking hose and then let me get the cord.

It was the scene.

Okay.

It was a full.

I'm doing this entire thing.

I get the pool deck done.

Takes three and a half, four hours.

Yeah.

Takes forever.

Power washing.

Power washing, I enjoy it, but it does take forever to even do a small area.

Long time.

Long time.

And I had the wrong tip on.

I had to change the tip to get a little wider tip.

And then when the poop was really sticking, I had to get the thin tip.

So I had to release the thin and put the poop in it.

And then I had to redo the thing.

Then I had to move the thing.

It was a lot.

I just want to sit down and admire my work.

Pretty good job out of me.

Hell yeah.

I did this.

Whack, whack, whack.

These fucking geese come flying in.

Shit all over the entire thing.

It was two hours.

Two hours this thing was clean.

Now there's poop.

Obviously, it's a lighter, brighter color because I got some of the so-just poop everywhere on these things.

I don't know how you beat them.

Chuck goes out there, core geeks, supposed to be, you know, like a herding.

This should be his thing.

Poop fat.

He rolls around with poop.

So now we got a smelly poop dog inside, and we can't go outside because the poops are.

These geese are terrorists.

These things are a problem.

They've taken it.

Send them back to Canada.

Call Tom up.

Mm-hmm.

Tom.

Yeah.

Need you.

Get these geese.

Time.

Out of my yard.

I looked it up.

There is like a goose control, goose patrol around Indiana that they get these two dogs out.

And I'm like, Yeah, golf courses use them.

I know golf courses bring dogs out and have them run up and down where there's ponds and they, you know, because they can ruin a place.

What are they going to be at a whole day?

Whenever they want to do it.

You need to get a couple animals.

Get a couple lions or something.

Fence your yard in.

Then they won't be landed in there.

Yeah, you're right.

Dogs that don't just herd food into their mouths like children well val val's 12 right now val's 12 13 years old yeah when val was six seven eight this is her job bingo this is this would have been she would have it would have been we would just put her outside yeah and she would just be out there for hours but now she like looks at him barks and she's like i'm not signing up for she to buy a couple more dogs Sam is trying to push that angle this weekend while also trying to feed these geese.

I'm like, listen, Sam.

Well, that's the one.

We don't want these geese to that.

It's like the a raccoon situation.

It's like a raccoons?

You have to move out of the house because of that.

You need to just kill them.

I'm not allowed to.

You can't kill them.

And after you pressure watch and they come back, you still can't kill them?

I know.

I was trying to look for a cause

in the law.

Spot loss?

Yeah, I spent three and a half hours on this damn pool deck, and then these things come shit off.

There's nothing.

There's going to be a lot of

poison.

There's nothing that's.

I got dogs, buddy.

You can't maim them.

You get a golf club.

You go out there and you wallop one of those fuckers in the stomach as hard as you can.

You're not going to kill him, but guess what?

He's going to,

and he's not going to be coming back.

Yeah, exactly.

He's going to be back.

He's going to fly to his body.

He's like, that guy's not fucking around.

Let's go to the house next door.

I guarantee it.

And if he makes it, you mean, you hit him hard enough in the stomach.

He might fly away and then halfway up, boo, and he's show for a whole

lot.

I don't want to do that.

I just want to round these things up.

And I don't even know how you would do that.

I was trying to come up with a plan.

Gumpy.

Is that a net?

Bring Gumpy out.

They might just flock to Gumpy like our Canadian brother has arrived.

Finally, like he's like, Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Exactly.

And they might, what's that child?

Isn't there like a piper that leads the mice out of the town?

We need Timmy Hortons.

Yeah.

Double doubles.

Yeah, exactly.

Just set one out there without the cap on it.

Except smooth creamove.

Yeah, exactly.

Gumpy sitting in there, Native American style.

Poutine.

Poutine being a hand up like this.

Yeah.

They'll come and pay their respects.

They'll notice this is sacred ground.

Big net.

Big net.

That does COVID nets.

Big net.

Yep.

Round them all up.

Put them over his shoulder.

Like, call a soldier.

And send it back to Canada.

Put a couple bricks in it.

Throw it.

All right.

Let's talk about Canada.

Let's talk about bricks.

Let's talk about bottom of the lake.

More so a frozen one normally.

The Toronto Maple Leafs.

Toronto Maple Leaf.

all over themselves last night.

Game seven in front of the Biebers.

Oh, no.

Justin and Haley.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

Front row.

Right behind the bench.

They took the trip from wherever town.

Because I've seen Justin Bieber.

He's been in Austria.

He's been golfing.

He's been making new accessories for the phone.

I don't know if you saw this.

Awesome.

With the cone.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, Babes.

I don't think.

I didn't see that.

So he's got like a phone cover that has a slot for a cone, like a stuffed cone.

Okay.

And it's like firm enough that it would protect it, you know, because that's the issue with those cones.

Sure.

There's a chance they get beat up a little bit.

Good silicone.

I don't think everything Bieber's creating

is a home run.

Okay.

I don't think I'll ever wear sunglasses that he's making.

Sure.

I don't know if I'll ever wear the slides that he's making.

But there's some stuff coming out of this Bieber brain right now that I'm like, hey, Bub, like what you're doing.

I think he's making an album.

It looks like he's making an album.

And then for the phone cover, I believe his wife made one that you put lipstick in, and that was the inspiration.

Oh, okay.

So good play out of the Biebers.

Once again, in front of the Biebers, the Toronto.

Justin Bieber's golf game, not as bad because he grew up playing hockey, which is why he's at the Toronto Maple Loose.

He's a massive fan.

He was striking a lot.

Nice swing.

He said he shot at 82 this weekend.

And he had, I love him.

He was wearing t-shirts and just whatever the fuck he wanted.

No shirts or anything.

Love that.

Justin Bieber.

Just do whatever the hell you want.

Was he getting out of the slot?

Yeah, he.

Yeah, look, there he is.

Linen pants.

Good alpha.

Bader.

He's not a pocket.

It's just that.

I don't think that's his best swing.

That's his worst swing.

We just have his worst swing right there.

He was playing good golf.

I was watching him play good golf for about two weeks or whatever.

But nonetheless, the Toronto Maple Leafs embarrassed themselves.

Game seven at home to the Florida Panthers.

This thing got so ugly so quick.

3-0 before you could even blink.

Watch this entire game, just like I watched the Dallas Stars winning.

overtime in like 35 seconds so quick the night before.

So whenever you talk about hockey being awesome, you think about game sevens.

You think about Toronto and the storylines.

You think about them being the Dallas Cowboys of Canada, basically, is how they are viewed.

All the stars from Canada are fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Every year is the Toronto Maple Leafs year.

Every year they're going to win a Standing Cup.

And every year something like this happens where they get their asses beat on home ice in game seven.

Marshawn actually scored on an empty net from Saskatoon.

Yeah.

From Saskatoon.

He's on the other side of the.

Did you see him all the way down to Saskatoon?

Yep.

Yeah, and he said, sorry, and he just sent that thing down.

And he's obviously been an Achilles heel for the Maple Leafs, especially in game sevens.

But this entire team just beat the dog shit out of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

You got to be pumped up about that.

Hockey Beach continues and moves past the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Still cooking.

Obviously, Marsha has been great.

Jonesy, we got Chicago.

He's been also down the stretch as well.

Marshan at 37 led both teams in this series in points.

But he's been a dog.

Obviously, Bob's been doing his thing in that as well.

But just from the top down, like we've had a bunch of the guys on from the GMZ, though, to Coach Paul Maurice, who's 6-0 now in game sevens.

And then obviously the team that they've built, like

they're a pack of dogs.

You know, they get it done physical, and then they can obviously score.

And then the moment's...

They're hunting Canadian geese.

This is three times in a row now.

We've gone to the Eastern Conference Finals.

And just where this franchise has come, like, we're all pretty much older than the franchise as a whole.

Like, these tickets used to be free damn near growing up.

And now you're talking about probably the best stretch in sports in South Florida since the Heatles.

So, you know, we're chasing it again.

Obviously, we got the Kaniaks coming up now.

So that'll be a tough tough out.

But, you know, I'm ready for it, man.

Hopefully, we run it back to back.

I love watching the Florida Panthers play.

We'll have Patty Maroon join us in about 15 minutes or so to chit-chat about the NHL playoffs, Standing Cup final, or sorry, conference finals that's happening.

And how about Texas hockey?

Gumby!

Look out!

Big win for Texas hockey over there in the west.

Boys are playing well right now.

Harley scores the game winner.

Otter, I mean, I can't express enough how Otter, how good Otter is, has been at home, especially in this series against the Jets.

They're uh, they're playing really well right now, and Miro just came back from injury.

That was the best game he's played, played over 22 minutes, so it feels like we're hitting our stride at the right time.

Uh, electrifying environment.

Uh, great story coming out of the Winnipeg Jets, and then it ends up obviously going the other way.

Thought the hockey gods were going to bless the Jets.

I assume the Jets and most sports fans thought that as well.

They did early, and then what they giveth, they take it away.

The Dallas Stars, and you talk about Otter for those that don't know 100%.

Uh,

Scheifeley.

Scheifele.

Shifley.

Scheifley.

This story is one that's going to be told forever.

Dad passes away in the morning.

Okay.

He plays that night, has the first goal of the games.

It's just like.

Unexpected.

Beautiful sports story.

Yeah, dad passed away unexpected out of nowhere.

So he plays, he scores, and it was like, you know, as it's happening, you're watching.

You're like, wow, something, this is obviously something special in the sports world.

You think back to Brett Favre.

you think back to numerous sports stories of the past where something unexpected comes something devastated happening or devastating happens and then it's always the same story and it was for shifley he said um my dad would have wanted me to play that's always what it is but i couldn't imagine how emotional that would be when they showed him like looking up and i think he was looking up at the jumbotron maybe but like he was sitting on the bench after the goal and like

The angle was him like looking up.

It's like that guy,

like I'm almost getting teared up thinking about it now.

Just had a moment with his dad probably.

And that's like, sports are the greatest, man.

Legitimately.

I think it's one of the ways you can tribute, pay tribute is through what you do.

And he obviously did that on Saturday.

That was a beautiful moment that sports will talk about forever, AJ.

Yeah, I mean, I mean, we've known forever, like hockey players are built different.

Like these guys, they're the toughest dudes out there on the planet.

But I can't imagine, like, after scoring this goal, or maybe once this game was over, when it all had to kind of set in a little more, I don't know.

I can't even begin to understand how he did this.

It's unbelievable.

yeah like i'm happy he scored early yes me too and uh what am i sorry they didn't win texas hockey moves on but that'll be a story you know when people talk about in the future

the handshake line at the end too sorry ty the handshake line at the end of that game with him was phenomenal it was just incredible lad's shown a lot of love and then just classy move by the stars i read that uh their ownership they chartered a flight a private flight for him to get back to his family right away after the game so like he didn't fly back with the team he went you know went right back and got uh to see his family hockey's awesome oh yeah hockey is awesome uh you know what else is happening that we don't talk enough about the nll playoffs oh yeah okay what's this guy's name chase frasi chase frasier chase frasier do you remember this dude from a couple weeks ago aj oh yeah i remember i've seen him he's back this guy is back yeah and i got some bad news for everybody in the united states of america this dude's a canadian yeah yeah the olympics are coming up hi it's the playoffs that went in you can't see it because obviously it's going to goal but it was a zoom in off the behind.

Yep, here he comes.

Heidi.

Don't worry about that.

What?

Team USA is going to be just fine.

And for the Olympics, if that's what you mean by him being Canadian, I believe it's the regular lacrosse net, not those nets.

Regular lacrosse goalie.

This is cool for the NLL, but yeah, the PLL boys are going to have something to say about old Chase.

Okay, so that's a big field lacrosse.

Yeah.

This is called Box Lacrosse.

Yeah, this is Box Lacrosse.

Yeah, huge in Canada,

not as big in the United States.

The reason why it's huge in Canada is because it's always so cold so they can play indoor, right?

So it's in these arena.

Hockey arena is a perfect place for this to be played at.

Buffalo fills that place up.

The Bandits.

We've been invited to a lot of the games up there.

I am so sorry.

Schedule's crazy.

Saturday night's main events happening on Saturday.

They got a game this Saturday.

Haven't been able to make it.

Monday Night Raw tonight in South Carolina.

I mean, there's just, you know, a lot going on.

But I did not know the NLO's really existence.

I am so sorry.

That is on me i think but they got some highlights they got some they oh yeah they they battle they they actually fight like they do in hockey not not you know pushing and shoving they drop the myths uh if you will so i mean uh kavanaugh actually pat kavanaugh he's now playing nl across the san diego seals uh good good squad but

pat kavanaugh is i knew this was our league yeah i i knew this was our league which one is that uh patty just won the national championship a couple times in the tour

the one that came on?

Well, Chris is the little brother.

Yeah,

Patty is the one that sat there.

Yeah, Patty is, I guess, Patty Kavanaugh.

The one who was traded from the Connins.

Yes, away from the Connins, who was Brother Kavanaugh, old Kavanaugh, one first.

Anyway, so the Kavanaughs are now in the NLO.

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Okay, so sweet.

This is my league.

I knew this was going to be my league the entire time.

As soon as I see this Chase Fraser guy, who I thought was American for sure with that name.

Yeah, sure.

And I was excited for the Olympics.

Like, okay, because I heard Bach style lacrosse is what the Olympics is going to be.

so I just wanted us to win it I want us to win the Olympics and this entire thing feels like Cam might have a leg up on us so Bach style just so I'm clear bigger feel smaller smaller smaller feel

smaller net

smaller sticks yeah smaller net goalies are wearing like hockey pads that that that's much different as well much smaller net still can't talk soft shit Well, especially when Chase Fernaser, who's a good Canadian lad.

He is a good lad.

I might need to bring him down here to solve my Canadian geese issue as well, especially with all these highlights that he's doing.

But yeah,

this is the style of lacrosse that it's going to be in the Olympics, like in the mix, but it's going to be smaller field.

Smaller field, yep.

Smaller field, smaller everything.

So the PLL is massive field.

Huge.

That's full-size lacrosse.

So it's not going to be that.

It's going to be smaller like this.

Lacrosse Canadian sport?

Yes.

And then I believe the natives.

Native American sport, but yeah, it is.

I believe it's Canada's national sport.

But I believe the Native Canadians and the Native Americans are going to have their own team, right?

Isn't that?

They're applying to have one.

Hopefully they let them have one in the Olympics.

I mean, they'll win.

That's what I've been told.

Exactly, yeah.

Hopefully.

From what I've been told, the Native team would win because this is their style of lacrosse.

Like, this is actually the lacrosse.

Yes.

Okay.

Yeah.

The Creators game.

And then the college had their quarterfinals this week in the Final Four set for Foxborough.

Notre Dame lost

Penn State.

Penn State actually basically had

one of the largest comebacks you could argue ever in the history of lacrosse.

Matty Trainer went bananas in the second half.

It was 12-6.

Penn State came all the way back, 1-14-12.

This goal here for Matt Trainer is ridiculous, just right down the alley.

How are you doing?

Goal, tie game.

And that was basically all she wrote for Notre Dame.

And then the other teams, they are moving on to play Cornell.

And Cornell is the one seed.

And then on the other.

Bro, it feels like we just took a trip back to 2002.

Yeah.

And the quality of that video there looks like the old Rough Riders Anthem music video.

That's what I just literally got back to.

But Penn State with a 12-6 comeback in football, what is that?

I said like three scores, like a 17-point game is probably what it is because, I mean, they rattled off.

They were up early.

And then Notre Dame, I think they scored six or seven strip goals.

Yeah, Matt Trainer is absurd.

That's Matty Trainer.

I believe he was the Big Ten player of the year.

He was probably the best player on the show

yesterday.

Yeah, filthy behind the back.

Is this him, too?

Is this a different guy?

Is that Matt?

20?

No, it is not him.

Oh, wait, Pentecost is very good.

Yeah.

I mean, Notre Dame, obviously, we had a great run.

We appreciate the hell out of Notre Dame for the sticks, the bucket.

Got the bucket.

I actually wore the back-to-back shirt here.

Yeah, we appreciate you boys for letting us be a part of your run there for a while.

Introducing us to lacrosse, getting us into lacrosse.

Yes.

Basically, the Kavanaugh boys, how kind they were for us.

You could argue the Kavanaughs are like the most influential lacrosse family since like the Powells.

They've been around.

Of course.

Yeah.

They've been around.

The Powells did it.

Mikey Powell.

You You guys know.

Speaking of.

Powell Rabel.

No, Mikey Powell.

Paul Rabel.

First name or last name?

Paul Rabel on his own.

But speaking of Mikey Powell, who you guys love, Syracuse back to the Final Four as well.

They're playing Maryland on the other side of the bracket.

It is a great Final Four.

It should be a great weekend in Foxborough next time.

Ty, who's representing the most there?

Yeah, it's crazy.

I had no idea that the Big Ten runs lacrosse now, but I guess we do.

This is the thing that the SEC has been talking about in football.

Yeah.

The SEC and all the other conferences are like, hey,

those schools up north, they have a bunch of suits that all graduate.

Oh, yeah.

And they have a lot of money.

And that one team that just beat Notre Dame, I think I've been pounding this drum since the day I went up to Penn State and got to talk to the people that are up there running Penn State's athletic.

It's like they're all in.

And it's not just football.

It's like, We want every, yeah, we want Penn State to be synonymous with winning sports.

And all of their alumni, all of their donors feel the same exact way.

I assume Trainer was offered to a lot of places.

Probably.

I assume Penn State is giving him a good amount of money.

All of their sports they are investing in, and it's like it's paying off.

And we're only like one, two years into this, let alone three, four, five years.

And it's not just men's sports either.

It's like we just want to dominate sports as a whole.

Yeah.

And it's, I think it's a good thing for sports, for people to be invested.

And if you're a Penn State fan, especially in the Big Ten, how everything kind of rallies around football, it's like you've been an afterthought for a long time yeah long long long long time and now the alumni feel empowered to be like no we can actually help our school become like a dominant sports school because you're talking about what they they have numerous sports volleyball best everything whenever they rank at the end of the year like how your athletic department did it the capital one cup yeah whatever it is it's like penn state wants to win it like that is very much like hey we want people to sent us with great athletics and it's like i love that for penn state and aq shipley's gonna be loud yeah hockey team this year was another team wrestling that point yeah they're wrestling of course they're unbelievable and we assume football with aller coming back

we assume all those guys but to your point too like when i was in college like i don't i don't think any big ten schools had a d1 lacrosse team like they had club teams and everything but like if you have money and all of a sudden you want to be like and the big ten forms a conference like that's how you get a guy like that who's you know could go to an ivy league school but you know i don't know where he's from but and then Maryland is the complete other end of that.

It's like they just lost their basketball coach because

they can't give any money.

So like it is, it truly is like the haves and the have-nots, but obviously like Penn State.

Yeah, I mean, when you commit to this kind of stuff, like every full, every sport, yeah, I think we need to just look for Penn State to probably have a team.

If we're gombling on a random college sport that we know nothing about and Penn State's in it, I think a safe bet would be that Penn State has invested more than whatever the other school is.

And they're just like, they're like, this is what the rules are.

This is how this is going to be.

And more power through to Nittany Lions.

Yeah, for sure.

But to Ty's point, too, like with the Big Ten becoming a powerhouse conference, like that is what will actually help grow lacrosse.

I assume, and who knows, but if there are SEC lacrosse teams that are teetering on the edge of like, hey, should we turn, you know, D1 and really try and make a run at this thing?

The Big Ten winning will help those commissioners of those schools and athletic directors kind of push that.

Because, you know even ohio state like i said to aj i want no dating to beat ohio state last weekend but ohio state winning would be bigger for the sport itself because then like kids in oio will start thinking oh okay oh state you know maybe i'm not big enough to play football or one of those sports there but like i could easily play can't skate can't play hockey bingo yeah i can run i'm not big enough for football yeah lacrosse is a great sport for that aj and i think the more people that like learn of it and i think that's a great point it moving into the midwest yes Yeah, go ahead, AJ.

These kids see it too.

These young kids see all the clips.

They see all this stuff.

All my kids play lacrosse.

They see all these guys, all these highlights.

And yeah, I think it brings more people to the game, no question.

But getting back to the Penn State thing, quick, I played with a guy, Ravel Martin.

He was a receiver in Green Bay with me.

His daughter just transferred from Florida to Penn State for volleyball.

She's like one of the best players in the country, and they just got her.

Yeah, that's every sport.

That is basically the messaging I got is, if it's sports, we want to win.

And it's like, all right, what do you mean?

All of them is what we're trying to do.

And they're not the only ones.

Like, Ohio State, obviously, same.

Michigan, the same.

But it's like these, I think this is what a lot of the SEC coaches and the SEC football people are like, hold the phone.

If this is just like

a bottomless bowl of soup and salad, like this is Olive Garden for money, like we're not going to be able to keep up.

Nobody's going to be able to keep up with some of these schools up in the north.

And basically, they're like, we'll get it figured out.

That's not going to get figured out for years now.

I thought this ruling that was going to come from the judge in April was going to like set this thing straight.

That doesn't sound like that's anywhere near.

That was a hearing.

Yeah, that wasn't even, and what they're hearing for is not going to.

Yeah, there's that chance.

So are you years away from that?

That's what I think, yeah.

And I think Coach Sabin,

you know, his name was thrown in for that commission thing.

And he's like, I'm 70 years.

I'm retired.

Like, you know how much work this is going to be?

It's not a done, due.

Oh, no.

No, sources, and I think he has come out and said it too.

But the day it came out, we came out here and and said, I don't know if that's, we did reach out to sources close to Coach Sabin, and they were like, that is

no, that is not a deal, that is not even a, that's not even been like really seriously talked about yet.

But it is, I think,

the thing itself has been talked about.

Yeah.

And Coach Sabin and President Trump were together down in Alabama.

So I assume there was some

like, hey, this needs to get figured out.

And I think somebody heard about that and automatically ran with like a Coach Sabin's talking

President Trump.

And then boom, it always gets out there.

And I think the reason why it got out there so big is because all of us think that Coach Sabin's probably the right guy to lead this group, you know, but that task to do that, we're talking, there's about a thousand problems.

I mean, just off top far head.

Where do you start?

Like, where do you even start?

I don't even know.

I mean, who do you go to first?

Because you got ADs, you got presidents, you got conferences, you got coaches, you got players who all have.

However many different, and then it's a thousand issues with all of academics you got to worry about and the whole, it's just, that's a, that's a daunting task that I don't know who's the right person for it.

But as soon as we see Saban's name, we're like, yep.

There's the guy.

Hey, commit the next 15 years of your life to figuring out these thousand things.

It's like, I think he should be a guy that's consulted with it.

But that's going to have to be a young man's or young woman's

work.

That's going to have to be like a life's work almost.

And we're in the transition era.

And 20 years from now, 30 years from now, it'll probably just be understood that these are the rules.

But whenever you're in it, you know, like I was in jail for 12, 12 hours.

Yeah.

Hard time.

Hard time.

Hard time.

When I was in there, that might as well have been 20 years.

Two meals.

Yeah.

And they gave me this fake.

They told me it's supposed to be bologna.

Bologna is a fake meat.

How is it supposed to be a fake meat?

It's just a faker version of a fake meat.

I don't understand.

It was good, though.

And they gave me little cream cookies.

I had those as well.

I had those as well.

But when I was in there, I was like, this is, how does anybody do like real time in here?

And then when you look back on it, it's like, you were in in there for 12 hours dude like get over it it's like we're gonna look back on this time and be like hey it took seven years to figure it out and when we're past it we're not gonna but in the middle of it it's gonna be loud and it's gonna be every single conversation in the fall is going to be about rosters, how much is being paid, transfers, this, who has what, who doesn't.

Teams are going to disappear.

Teams are going to show up out of nowhere.

Then they're going to disappear because the well is going to run dry.

It's like we're in the middle of full chaos, but the sports are better than they've ever been.

So it's hard to, hard to really complain in all of it.

And like you said, like teams who have this kind of like bottom, bottomless pit, like Penn State and Ohio State and Michigan and like some of the teams like that, like there are no rules right now.

Still, like we thought a ruling was coming.

So it's like they have a chance here until this thing gets finalized where it's like, hey, we could spend like $100 million on our football team and no one can do it.

There's less rules now than there's ever been.

Exactly.

Yeah, and there's more money in some of of these places than there's ever been.

Title window?

Yeah, like Oregon.

Oh, yeah.

If you're Oregon,

you got so close, you had one of your best seasons, you lose in the first round after the buy.

It's like, okay, so we're going to triple down.

Why would we not?

Yeah, Uncle Phil is not going to back off of that.

Exactly.

You know, I would like to see the Ducks in their fresh uniforms in the national championship.

Yeah.

Someone who might be good for it.

You're saying like it's a young man's game, like for to figure it out.

Like you think someone who was a former, like a JC Tredder, like someone who was a president of the nflpa like ivy league yeah football like someone like that retires now he's he or she whoever takes that job is gonna have to get paid well too yeah because they're gonna be given

i don't know how they fix it brother andrew look

yeah eric winston i know he ran the pa for a while too get him involved yeah i don't know if andrew luck's ever done any business

I guess he's known now as a GM in Stanford, but it's like you need business people in there.

But who are young business people that are good, that understand the sports landscape?

Yeah, I don't think this can be like your first gig.

Jason, right?

Oh, yeah, maybe.

Yeah, he might be the guy.

Legitimately.

Former Washington football team president.

Former coming from like the PR scandal world.

Look at crisis management.

Right, yeah.

Yeah.

Ball player.

Yep.

Hey, Jason.

That's the one.

Hey, good luck.

Go get it.

15, 20 years of your life, brother.

It's nothing.

He's the right guy.

Figured it out.

Yep.

Legitimately,

he would be perfect for it.

Because, I mean, I don't know if you could go as far as crisis, but for some of these schools, you would call this a crisis.

Well, think about if you were in crisis management, the amount of meetings you've had to take and who you've had to talk to.

You've had to talk to people that have been devastated by a situation, people that have obviously been blindsided by a situation, or people that have made a massive fuck-up, which all three of those parties are represented in this entire thing in a massive way.

I was just about to cold FaceTime him.

Like, literally, I was about to just be like, hey, are you doing the, you're the guy?

It really is.

Hey, we just signed you up for it.

Congratulations.

Being in DC, like, he

understands like the political landscape to some degree.

Like, holy hell.

Yeah.

Did we figure that out or has that already been figured out?

I don't think so.

That's the first I've heard.

We would pay

government, right, would have to be a government job, but then all the conferences should chip in and pay them too, so they don't have to do it.

Like, Sankey should be like, you know what?

We got you an extra 500 grand a year.

Petiti would be like, 750,000, no problem at all.

I don't want to deal with that.

Big 12 is like, we're not paying you shit because you're screwing us up.

And we got his VP.

Who?

Anthony Gonzalez, baby.

Gonzo.

Yeah, bring Gonzo back.

I don't know if Gonzo wants to get back in the DC world, but maybe.

I don't know.

I'm not 100% sure.

He had all parties against him at one point.

I don't know if him and the big guy still have the best relationships.

Hey,

you know.

You never know.

Gonzo is a guy at Bogon, but he's good business.

For sure.

Politics.

I still think he would have won if he ran again, but I don't think he would want to sign up for what he was going through.

He's too good of a guy.

He is,

which isn't how we should talk about politics.

This guy's too qualified, too good of a guy.

He shouldn't do it.

It should be the complete opposite.

Well, I mean, watch watch Band Hunt.

Oh, the hunt for Osama bin Laden.

You kind of do need some bad guys on your own side.

Yeah, I heard there's a dog that was sitting off the table.

Yeah, there's a couple dogs.

Yeah, Kofer Black.

Let's just say I want him in our corner.

Yeah, we looked up his name.

Kofer's his middle name, but he's referred to as Kofer Black in the show.

Fantastic documentary, if you got some time.

Big weekend, I can't wait to watch it.

It is wonderful.

Allegedly, his Kofer Black guy does not have a seat at the table.

He has a seat behind the table so he can listen to what's happening at the table.

I've not heard this documentary.

President Bush says, do we got any ideas?

Somebody says, six months to do, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And then Kofer Black is this man's name.

Yes, yes.

Stands up, leans on the table, and goes, Give me six weeks.

I can fucking handle this whole problem here.

And George Bush goes, boom, you're in the cabinet now.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

That is the source.

That is how.

And then next thing you know,

Bin Laden, see you.

And John Cena.

John Cena.

Yeah.

Next thing you know, yeah, you don't realize how many years.

Oh, so six weeks was a lot.

No, no, six weeks we were

raising hill.

We had changed.

But it took a much longer time than I think most people remember to actually get Bin Laden.

What's the documentary called?

Manhunt, the hunt for Osama bin Laden.

It's a docuseries.

Three episodes docuseries on Netflix.

And is that from the same angle as Zero Dark 30, which was the lady?

She was CIA.

Yeah, yeah.

She was CIA.

It does kind of go into that.

The first episode is, you know, like Bush 9-11 into immediate response.

They kind of go minute by minute throughout September 11th, that day, him at the school in Florida, the whole entire thing.

The second episode does kind of turn it up with the CIA, what they did, the hunt, the exact things that they were doing overseas in the Middle East.

And then

the end of the second episode and the third episode, I don't remember any of this.

The one guy that they thought they had really on the inside turned on them.

He kills like seven members of the CIA.

And then, you know, I haven't finished the third episode.

I can't wait to watch it called Manhunt on Netflix.

Yes, unbelievable.

What's the

show, Us, Last of Us,

Last of Us?

No.

What's the video game that turned into Yeah, The Last of Us.

That's the thing?

Yeah.

I guess the episode, it was trending.

Everybody was saying they were crying because Pablo said he loved the girl or whatever.

Yeah.

Something like, yeah, it was a big moment.

Last few episodes have been trending.

Yeah, the last one, I guess.

Pedro Airdorus, not Pablo.

Pedro.

Yeah, Pedro Pascal.

You kind of combined.

Pascal, yeah, yeah.

Sorry about that, Paige.

I did watch season one.

I've not watched season two.

Everybody's always super bummed out, but they say it's amazing.

Yeah, I mean, I kind of stopped watching it too.

I've played the games, and it's pretty true to the game.

No, I guess he never said I love you any games, maybe not, but like the kind of long.

I read the internet, the larger story beats.

I think a lot of people went in having no idea how it was gonna be.

And, like, if you would have played the game, you'd be like, oh, yeah, there'd be a lot of people pissed off very early.

I enjoyed season one.

Season one was great.

Yeah, I thought the comparison of the two is cool.

Like, they'll do some scenes, and they'll show like the video game scene and then the show scene, and it is identical.

Okay, sweet.

So, we can watch that, we can watch Manhunt, or guess what's back?

What's that?

Back again.

Caitlin Clark.

Yes, she is.

Tell a friend pulled up from the parking lot the second shot of the game.

She had the first two points in the foul line.

Then she had,

then they scored a layup and then she pulls up from Logo from where the 22 is basically on the Iowa court.

Cash, she has surpassed everybody in the amount of time that she has played in the WNBA.

She fills up every arena in every town that she goes to.

Teams have to go to bigger arenas so they can try to profit off the Caitlin Clark train coming to town.

Most 20-point tennis games in WNBA history, which I think you could say, that's a good game.

Like I said, you classify.

Vandersloot, obviously, 430 games played, had 10 of them.

Diana Taurasi, people talk about as the goat, right?

The goat.

The goat.

You're damn right.

564.

She goes to school.

Yukon.

Okay.

565 games played.

She has nine 20-point tennis games.

And then Caitlin Clark, 41 games played.

She already has nine of them.

And it's just like, it was very obvious whenever she was in college that she was different, you know, and she seemed to be more exciting than everybody else.

But she also was an incredible passer and like disher in the way she went about her business.

It was like, oh, this, this girl's different.

This woman's different.

We actually took the show to Iowa.

for the women's basketball bracket March Madness to showcase what she was doing as we followed along because Ty is from Iowa.

Then she gets drafted to the fever.

And what she has done for this city and for this team is unbelievable.

Obviously, last year at the beginning of the season, nobody wanted to believe.

Okay.

They still don't.

There's a lot of people that still think there's a lot of other.

She is the one.

Okay.

And I pisses off everybody whenever we say it.

And then obviously it becomes a whole thing because we're a bunch of doofuses and things like that.

But like.

This is the golden goose.

This is the one.

This is the generational, multi-generational player.

And we're incredibly lucky that she's in Indianapolis.

And she went fucking ham in the opener against the Chicago sky.

And there was a little scene, you know, because Angel Reese comes out, same class.

Caitlin Clark comes out, same class.

A lot of people saying, obviously, Angel Reese is a massive part of this women's basketball rebirth, which I agree.

I agree.

She was certainly a part of the entire story and everything else happening.

But there was a moment in a game where Angel Reese has a little bit of a push-off on an offensive board.

Obviously, she's great at getting rebounds, incredible underneath.

Caitlin Clark says, what the hell?

Come on.

Caitlin Clark says, what the hell is that to the ref.

And then she says, and most basketball people say, that's a take foul.

Instead of a layup, we're going to make you earn it.

I think Angel would miss one or both of those free throws instead of getting a wide open layup and that entire thing.

Angel was pissed off, thought I was a flagrant.

Afterwards, everybody said, I was a take-foul.

I was a take-foul.

But it was very convenient how most of the internet, not all of the internet, most of the internet, though.

clipped out Angel Reese pushing the fever girl in the back.

Caitlin pointing at the ref like, what are we talking about here?

We're not calling that.

They They clip that out.

They just go to right here.

Bang, Caitlin Clark fouls Angel Reese, and then boom.

Buzz saw on the internet about Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.

Ultimately, I think the buzz is good for the WNBA as a whole.

I know it's probably not fun to be a part of if you're Caitlin or Angel Reese or anybody else, but in the end, the Indiana Fever win by 100, and Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark have started their second season in the WNBA, and Caitlin Clark is on track to be the greatest of all time.

Yeah.

And I believe she is already top three in triple doubles in the history of the WWA2.

That's why, like, I don't know, like, there is, there's no argument.

Like, I don't understand.

Like, we people can yell until they're blue in the face.

Like, the proof's in the pudding.

We've seen all the stuff.

And you say, like, it is good for the sport at large, but I think a lot of people get turned off.

Like, it just always goes into a race thing.

Like, every single time, no matter what, that is always the discussion.

And then they squash it right afterwards.

It's like, no, not really.

That's kind of just a basketball play.

Like,

every in every league, there's always, there's going to be like adversaries.

Like, you know, Angel Reese is the foil for Caitlin Clark, and vice versa.

Like, they don't have to get along.

They don't have to like each other.

They're competitors.

Like, this kind of shit happens.

But every single time something like this happens, then we have to go right back to...

Full-on.

Yeah, exactly.

And

it doesn't get moved at all.

So, like, we're not talking about the game.

We're talking about that play, and that's it, you know?

And then, yeah, we'll get the stats about her and her 20 points and 10 assist games and the triple-doubles and all that.

But the discussion always comes back to this.

And And I think that's why a lot of people are just kind of fed up.

Well, just know, if you watch a Caitlin Clark game, and I'm not saying that I watch any of the other teams play, okay?

I watched Indiana Fever play.

So I'm just going to talk about Caitlin Clark.

The Las Vegas Aces,

great.

New York Liberty, great teams.

When I see the Fever play, I'm like, these are great teams.

Los Angeles, I think they got Kelsey Pullman out there.

Yeah, they do.

I think they're going to be great.

There's a lot of great teams.

I'm just talking about watching Caitlin Clark play, electrifying.

Yes.

Absolutely.

She will pull.

She will pull that shit up.

She is not, she will shake, sidestep, step back, not scared.

And then she'll do no look, like a no-look pass, full court passes.

I mean, her teammates have to get used to her passes, like, I think, because they've never really seen it before.

She is, she's great for the sport.

She's great for the game.

And as a guy that has a daughter, McKenzie, you know, it's like great that she's in our city.

in Indianapolis, you know, like right here getting a chance to see it.

And that's basically who's filling up all these arenas.

Now, obviously, there's a lot of adult males who are fans fans and go into it, but you got a lot of little girls that are coming out watching their hero play.

And she's selling out every arena.

It's great for the sport.

Yeah, she's the most popular women's athlete on the planet right now, I think.

And obviously, the game, her game speaks for it.

Like, it's just different.

It's nothing.

I've been watching women's basketball since going to UConn.

That was back in 04.

And you just have never seen, you've seen dominant players.

You've seen Bree Stewart come and win four championships, Maya Moore be a mate for Rebecca Lopo, of course.

It was before my time.

But just her style of play, coming, shooting the deep threes,

the passes that she has, like she's probably the best college scorer, men's or women's, when it comes to, you know, wire to wire as far as a career goes.

And, like, Ty said, like, that shit with her and Angel, like, that's basketball.

Like, we see it, we watch the playoffs, you see a hard foul, guy gets up, talks shit.

Did Angel overreact?

Yeah, probably.

It was a hard foul.

It is what it is.

They squashed it after the game.

You moved on.

But yeah, all the think pieces and everything after the first game.

Hey, it's numbers.

So I'm sure the WNBA probably likes that part of it.

But the other side of it i think it's pretty shitty the sport is worth watching the sport yeah

i mean what is this 25 26 years now for the for the league in general so i think we we got daughters in here so where this league will be where women's basketball will be 10 15 20 30 years from now i think i'll be in a much better spot because of all the talent and what we're seeing now uh on a nightly basis watching caitlin become confident that she's the one out here too is awesome yeah it's like press conferences she's leading coaches here aaliyah boston's here yeah kelsey mitchell dog great player she's down there it's like

this is caitlin's team that was uh that's kind of the other part of it too because a lot of people kind of almost treat her like she's a damsel in distress type but like caitlin like you would notice more than me like when i watched her play like she was like the villain she wanted to be like the shit talker like she was the dog she was gonna be in your face like this this shit's you know everybody remembers angel for it but that was you know caitlin was doing it wasn't the same way but that mannerism how she played like that like taurasi taurasi is not, she's an asshole on and off the court.

And that's the part where you're like, Jordan, she was wearing Kobe's, yeah.

The special custom uh rookie of the year Kobe's, like she, like she's she's cut from that cloth.

So

I just love competitors, I love shit talkers, and I love to see it on the biggest stages, whether it's you know, Angel Wilson, Asia Wilson, Caitlin Clark, whoever it is, big time Kelsey, she dropped what, 37, I think, yeah, from Los Angeles.

Yeah, so she's feeling free out there in Elijah.

Looks like it might be.

Let's pivot away from WNBA.

How many games?

We have a schedule up.

They were 20 and 20 last year, so 40.

40 games?

Good luck, ladies.

Good luck against the fever.

What I was this year for us?

Fourth, I think we were at the end.

Third or fourth?

Yeah, I think we're the fourth best.

The Liberty.

Because it was Liberty and Aces, and then I think.

44 games.

44.

Let's go fever.

There it is.

Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a three-time Stanley Cup champion, a man who is probably going to be able to break down what the Toronto Maple Leafs did last night better than any of us could.

We just assumed that this is what Toronto was going to do.

I think everybody in Toronto assumed this was potentially a possibility, but this year was going to be different.

Telling us if that is the case, ladies and gentlemen, a man with great lettuce, an absolute legend, big rig, Patty Maru.

Yeah, yeah, Patty.

What's up, boys?

Hey, Pat, thank you for joining us on this glorious overreaction Monday.

Brad Marshawn, Kachak, Reinhardt, and the Bob and the boys go into Toronto and smack them in the mouth in front of the Biebers.

This is what Toronto's M.O.

is, but this year was supposed to be different.

How do you think the Toronto Maple Leaf fans are taking this?

And everybody in hockey assumed this is going to be the case or no?

I mean, yeah, I mean, I think for all you guys have been talking about, we're breaking down the game a little bit, but I think the first 10 minutes, Florida had him on the ropes, and then Toronto kind of pushed the next 10 minutes in the first.

It was a 0-0 game going in the second period.

You know, obviously, if you're a remote team, you'll take that, but if you're Toronto, you'll take that too.

You know, it just seemed like it just got away from them in the second period.

And, you know, when you're playing behind in game seven, it's impossible to come out on top.

So I think they played behind.

You know, even if they get that first one, then they score the second one quick, and then they get the third one.

And now, you know, the game's probably over right there.

But if I'm a lease fan, I mean, you know, you're probably gutted every year when you see this every single year.

You know, can their core guys get it done?

It seems like they can't right now, but they're a great team.

I thought they were a different team this year.

They played a little harder.

You know, they had some more structure in their game.

You know, I was pulling for Toronto only because Beruby coached me in St.

Louis when we won.

And

Joseph Wall's from St.

Louis, so he's a good St.

Louis kid.

So I was pulling for him in that.

Unfortunately, he wasn't their night.

Yeah, in front of the Beavers, too.

Yeah, that was a tough look.

Maybe he's their

bad luck charm.

Well, Trey Tracy put a million on him, too.

So there's a lot of different curses.

A lot of different curses that the internet was talking about.

Biz obviously had a fantastic night on TNT.

I don't know why he's wearing red in there.

It's Panthers color.

That's Panthers color.

The little maple leaf.

I think he just needs to change his outfit.

He needs to change his outfit.

He never, I mean, I felt like every time he wore that outfit, he got rid of the yellow shirt, but even the tie and the jacket, maybe just change it up.

Maybe just don't wear it.

He's in the middle of making it up.

He's in the middle of making it up.

He's He's making it, bam.

I mean, you can't have this guy.

How is he supposed to win a game seven while he's also making an album?

What all can we expect out of Justin Bieber?

My last question before the boys have some here.

Let's go to the West.

Dallas, Otter, obviously, I heard a quote from him that said, I want to win a Stanley Cup and I want to be the starting goalie for the United States of America.

Obviously, Halebuck on the other side, best goalie in the league throughout the season.

Otter was doing some shit this series that was absolutely absurd.

You've said if you have a good goalie, you can win it all.

Otter right now, hottest goalie left, and can they win this entire thing down there in Dallas?

Yeah, like I said before in the show, I think even this game right here in game six, I think Hellabuck played a tremendous game to give their team to try to force a game seven.

I thought they played really well.

I think it was a well-rounded game for both teams.

They both played great.

It was just about, you know, unfortunately, you know, Mark Seifley was going through some things and he gets a goal.

You know, the team is through some injuries.

You know, Morrissey goes down during that game, but as you can see, you know, you need goaltender, you need a big-time save.

And I was with like three minutes left with Otter right there, you know, making that big time save.

So, um, you need key saves at key moments in the game.

And I think just Dallas is just built for the playoffs.

They're big, heavy, strong.

They're fast.

They have the great makeup of the team.

They have four lines that can roll.

They have, you know,

three pairs of D back there that can, you know, just open up the door and go.

So, I mean, with Edmonton, I think to be honest with you i mean you got to stop connor and connor and leon i think with ebonton has been you know during the past you know postseasons that they don't have depth scoring and i think they have it this year they have all four lines that have been producing you know you're not just counting on the the big two up there so it's going to be a great series heavy series so i'm really looking forward to this one go ahead and j Yeah patty you won three cups was there like a I guess when you when you think back on those teams was there a theme or something like the culture that you felt on those teams that you knew like something was special possibly early on?

And if you compare some of those teams to maybe times when you were on a team that came up short, I don't know.

Is there something you could put your finger on of, hey, this team had some kind of common thread throughout when you're all your three cups?

The relationships away from the rink was very special.

We bonded so well together away from the rink, inside the rink.

And I'm a firm believer, if you have those relationships inside, it's going to carry over on the ice.

You know, you're going to have confidence.

You're going to

stick up for your teammates.

You're going to play for the guy beside you.

We just, there was a great culture in those in those cup runs that we went deep on.

And that's a huge thing for me.

And I think we're seeing it with Florida right now.

It just seems like their locker room's clicking.

They got good leadership.

When someone gets traded there, they bring him in right away.

And I think with those runs that we went on, we just, you know, we felt that way.

And we, and that's a sign of like swagger to me, a sign of confidence,

the belief system,

you know, things that, you know, go up and down.

Florida loses, you know, the first two.

They find a way to come back, call back in the series.

I think it's just a confident swagger thing that we just had the entire time on these cup runs.

Like, no one's going to touch us.

We're going to play the same way.

We're not going to get out of our game.

We're going to be boring.

We're going to be heavy.

And I think Kachuck's quote yesterday was,

the longer you do it in a long period of time in a seven-game series, you're going to come out on top.

Eventually, you're just going to wear them down.

And I think that's what we did too.

And you're seeing that with Florida.

You know,

they have the makeup of the team, and it's been fun to watch, man.

They're a hell of a team.

And

they have a goalie.

They have four lines.

They have great D.

So

they're going to be

hard to beat.

And, you know, in the series here, you know, TANF got hit like 103 times.

You you know when you're wearing these guys out it's it's exhausting and that's i think that's with the culture they have in that locker room the belief system 100 hold on say that again i didn't hear that stat say what you said again because you're big rig and you like hitting people so these are stats that you like to see how many times did tan have get 103 times in the series That was before game seven.

Jesus.

So that's a mindset that like they're saying like, hey, we got to get bodies on these guys.

Like for young quarterbacks, for instance, they say, hey, let's get people around his feet.

Like, let's just, even if you're late, let's get people, even old quarterbacks, like, let's get people around their feet.

You guys have the mindset, like, hey, let's get a body on these guys.

That is a real strategy in this and thing.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

It's a strategy for going into a game seven series.

You want to wear the D out, you want to be exhausting for them.

You want to be in their face at all times.

You dump it in, you want to lay a lift.

You know, you want to make it difficult for them as hard, and you want them to go back and dump it in.

So, you want to reload, get that puck back, three-quarter isom, throw it back in, and do it again.

And by the end of it, man, you don't want to go back for a puck.

I'm telling you right now, I've been on the other side of it where you can see D are exhausted.

They're out of breath.

They're coming back to the bench, putting their head down.

And physically, mentally, like, I mean, Jesus Christ, are we doing this again?

So I think over a long period of time, it's exhausting.

So that's what Florida does.

I mean, they play a simple style of game where they're good defensively.

They break it out clean.

They go back the other way 200 feet and they just lay it in the corner and go.

And it's a prime example of, you know, the fifth goal there.

I think it was the fourth goal.

Marshi lays it into the corner, hit, hit, shot to the net, tip, boom, back of the net.

It's not pretty.

It's not pretty, but it's exhausting.

And, you know, you're going to find your ugly goals.

I love, I love that.

That Taniff hit 103 times is more than double anybody else on the ice.

What?

Yeah.

Full conversation by Coach Moe.

Hey, listen, this guy right here bodies yeah 103 times that's a target tat had to be skating back to the bench in between shifts he's in every are you guys getting hit every time i'm getting hit every time i'm out here that's a wild thing and i love that you say yeah we're trying to wear these guys down for sure just

you you have to you have to and i think it's playing the right way the whole time you don't get out of structure

you know sometimes you're going to have you know a bad game you're not going to be perfect every game right and but if you're 75, 65% of that perfect, I mean, you could eventually come out with a win, right?

You just wait for the team to make mistakes and you play a hard, simple game and throw pucks in the net and find ways to create second and third opportunities.

You don't find your way.

Florida's already won, and you talked about the most important thing is being together.

And you chit-chatted about it a little bit, but Darius J.

Butler, lifelong Florida Panthers fan.

Nice question for you, Pat.

Yeah, you talked about that culture, and you specifically mentioned when

trades come over, players come over that have been traded.

Jonesy, Jonesy Seth Jones and Marshan obviously they played a huge role right now with the core guys they're already there what has been their impact right now on this Panthers team throughout this playoff run and I want you to talk a little bit about that that I believe it was a third goal from Jonesy where he kind of kept his stick off the puck waiting for his guy to get back on side so just tell me about these guys and the impact they've had on the squad Yeah, I got the opportunity to play with Jonesy this year in Chicago.

Obviously, it wasn't a good fit for him.

He needed to go somewhere and, you know,

and be the, not be the guy, but, you know, play with guys and surround himself with good players and good culture.

And, man, he's really come out.

This is like his, I feel like it's not his coming out party because he's been an elite player in this league for so many years, but man, he's looking really good out there.

You can tell when Akblad was out, he fit in right away with this team.

And his offensive ability is coming out.

But I think the biggest thing for me is how he plays defensively.

You know, he's playing against the top lines every single night.

He's playing hard.

His stick is really, really good.

So it's been really fun to watch him.

And he's been producing with them, man.

He's been scoring some big-time goals.

And this goal right here just uses his size, uses his skill, takes it to the net on that one where he beat him wide.

But I think they didn't count it.

But I mean, this shot, this shot on the two-on-one, the first one, I mean, that was a snipe.

Jones, he's an elite player in this league, and I'm very happy with him right now.

And he fits in really, really well with that Florida Panthers team.

And I'm proud of him.

And with Marshi, man, he could fit anywhere.

It's like a bunch of, that's like his team, like Kachuk, Bennett, you know, that's, those are his guys, you know, they all play the same way.

They're hard.

They're in your face every single night.

And Marshi fit in right away.

That third line has been so effective, so consistent for that team.

And they've been scoring some big-time goals for the Florida Panthers, and it looks like that line's been jelloing right away, right out of the gate.

But I think the biggest team for me is that culture they have, that locker room, how they bring those guys together, and they fit in probably from day one.

So I think that's the biggest thing.

And then you can just play hockey, right?

You talked about him being in the third line and fitting in immediately.

He answered that question to the TNT boys afterwards.

It was brought up by the white on the far right.

Yep.

Was it Colby Armstrong?

Yeah, Colby Armstrong last night.

Colby.

Okay, so Colby brings it up.

He goes, you're a third liner.

for this Florida Panthers team to Marshawn.

You know, you're like a depth guy is kind of how he worded it.

And Marsh, he talked about how towards the the end of the year, nobody was healthy.

So they didn't really know who was going to play with who.

And then he said, as soon as he got with that group, the chemistry was immediate.

He said, we all play pretty similar.

We're all in there.

Is there guys that you work better with than you don't work with?

Like, is that something that Marshi would have literally been able to figure out?

Or is he just kind of

being humble about being able to play with anybody?

Is there like certain, like, because I remember Genzel and Sidney Crosby, for instance.

Genzel and Crosby, immediately upon Genzel getting there, it was like, knew where the hell to be.

Crosby was feeding them.

This dude's scoring goals immediately upon getting there.

And then there's been other guys, obviously, that Sid's been able to kind of mesh with.

But when Marshi says that immediately they had chemistry, what does that mean?

They're just seeing the ice the same way?

Or

what do you think you meant by that?

Yeah, I think they're reading and reacting off each other.

I think they see the ice pretty well together.

I think they similar games.

I think the hockey IQ that they have is probably similar

to what he's used to playing with.

Obviously, Marshi playing with pasta and and all those guys, Bergeron and Boston.

But I think with

him, it just seemed like it clicked right away.

You know,

those are two young players he's playing with.

They're hungry, and I think they have tenacity.

You know, they kind of have that never-give-up fight on pucks.

You know, they kind of read and react off each other, and it just seems like it's been a great fit.

You know, with Marcy's hockey IQ, he's an elite player in this league.

Maybe, I mean, I think he's a Hall of Famer.

And when you have that veteran presence on your your line, I think it kind of boosts those other two, right?

To get them, you know, playing maybe with a little more hockey IQ, a little more offensive ability, right?

And you can see it.

They're producing great for this team, and they have depth scoring, and that's huge for them.

And with Marshi's saying, he's a depth player.

I don't think he's a depth player.

I think he's, you know, he fits in perfect, right?

He's still playing his minutes.

He's on the PK.

He's on the power play.

You know, he just has, he found a line, and he found a home that kind of fits with him right now.

And I think they're, they're, I think they're, they're most consistent line right now.

I think the points were safe, too, at 37 years old or whatever.

Marshi's an absolute dog.

I enjoy him.

I do too.

I enjoy him a lot.

Just as an entity, just as a being.

I really appreciate his.

He's got to be good to be the way he is, obviously.

And he's great.

And you said Hall of Famer.

In my head, I don't know the rules for the NHL Hall of Fame, but I would have just assumed that Marshi was Hall of Famer as well.

Happy to hear that you think that.

And now I feel much smarter.

Now Now let's go to the West, shall we?

Connor has a question for you, Patty.

Yeah, Patty, what do you think about the Oilers being off for so long?

I'm not sure during recent playoff runs how much rest some teams have had, but it feels like we haven't seen the Oilers play in over a week.

And you could argue the same with the Kane X as well.

But how do you feel about the rest for two of these teams versus the other two kind of just having to turn around and go play immediately after wrapping up their two respective series?

I can go both ways.

I think for me, you know, if your team's a little banged up going into playoffs and you made it this far and you find a way to, you know, close out a series early, I think it's, it's awesome to have some rest, get those guys a little bit healthier.

You know, if they're playing at 80%, maybe you can get them at 90, 95%.

So

I think it will be fine for them.

For me,

some players too, if you, I mean, it can go down a list.

Some players would like to play right away, you know, get this thing started, you know, no breaks and find a way.

But I think West,

I mean, it's tough, you know, with Dallas just finishing.

But for me, rest is a weapon.

You got to use it, and you got to find a way.

So I think with these guys being off, if they're a little banged up, I think they're going to come back just fine, right?

You can take a couple days off, practice, days off.

Dallas is obviously coming off a hard series, so they're going to be ready to play Wednesday.

So I think Edmonton will be fine, though.

I think they needed some rest because they won on a deep run last year in the Stanley Cup finals, an emotional

loss for them in game seven.

But I think

this time of year, that teams that go deep, you need the rest.

Okay, so let's talk about that.

Ty has a question for you.

Yeah, speaking of that, Patty, obviously, you know, your team's never really had any issue with this because you won three consecutive Stanley Cups.

But for a team like Florida, like, how much does fatigue come into play because this is going to be their third consecutive season with like a very deep playoff run?

Like, do you feel that at all?

Is it kind of one of those things where after the season ends, you kind of just have that big release and you're just dead tired?

Or, like, how does that work going into one of these series?

I think you're running high still.

You're still, like, your general one's pumping.

You're, you know, you're still going.

You're playing meaningful games down the stretch.

I think, you know, Florida's trying to do what, you know, what Tampa did and Pittsburgh did, you know, two cups in a row.

So I think with these guys, it seems like their engine never stops.

I think they'll be just fine.

You know, it's going to be, they're going to be, what,

third conference finals in three years.

It seems like they still have got a lot of juices left.

It seems like they're playing at a high pace right now.

So

I don't think they're going to stop anytime soon.

But like you said, though, when it's all said and done, you achieve your goal, then you can sit down and rest and be like, thank God that's over.

You know, thank God we had the opportunity to lift that Stanley Cup.

It was well worth it.

So I think that's what they're doing.

And listen, they got Marshi coming back.

They have Jonesy.

They got some guys that, you know, that have some energy that haven't went deep in a long time.

So, you know, they can feed off their energy.

And they got a goalie that's looking great right now.

But it seems like their engine's...

going right now and they're playing some great hockey.

So I'm not too concerned about that.

Yeah, Kachuk had some games off too, obviously with that groin injury from Four Nations.

You won three straight Stanley Cups, one with St.

Louis, two with Tampa, Go Bolts.

um what was the most absurd thing you put in the lord's timely cup

uh

uh i mean i put toasted raviolis in there because it's like a st.

Louis staple

delicious with sauce is there sauce in it

there was sauce in the Stanley Cup and then we dipped the toasted rabs in the in the in the Stanley Cup with the sauce in there so yeah I mean that was the most

outrageous thing but I think for me probably just putting a thousand beers in there.

Of course, Joker, I appreciate Joker too.

As soon as the nuggets lose, he goes, next few days, probably a lot of beer.

If I had to drink, and then obviously you hear about every as soon as I had an opportunity with Stanley Cup around me, it was like, God, drink a beer out of this thing.

Yeah, after drinking beer.

Well, you're not allowed to do that because you didn't win it.

Well, Rupper's here.

He won.

So he will pour the beer into your mouth or whatever.

Here's the, we actually have a clip of the

grazi, the mozzarella, the raviol going into lordo stanley cup there thousand how many beers does it hold six

i think six or seven have you done one in full swoop oh yeah no no no no no half half it's heavy though you got to do it yourself unless someone's doing it for you has anybody ever taken down a full cup of beer i'm sure they have For sure.

That's a lot of beers, yes.

That's a lot of beers.

That's a lot of beer.

I know you hockey guys drink an immense amount of booze.

I also fancy myself as an old school, pretty big drinker, a booze bag.

I don't know.

Seven beers is a lot of space.

Oh, yeah.

Just in there as a whole.

Chara won that thing.

Chara can put down 50 beers in a sitting if he needs to.

He's like eight feet tall.

Yeah, he is a gigantic human.

Yeah.

I mean, when you win, anything is possible.

Yeah, I think that's pretty valid.

You can drink seven, no problem, if you win.

Yeah, you're right.

I didn't even think about that.

You're probably deleting about 50 that night, anyways.

Sure.

Boom.

Yeah, you're right.

Who cares what's coming and going?

Yeah, right.

You just want Lordo.

Exactly.

We appreciate you making time for us, Patty.

Will you continue to come on as the conference finals continue?

We appreciate you.

Absolutely.

I'll come on anytime.

That's great news.

That helps us out, both of you.

Jesus Christ.

Thank you so much.

I was supposed to go in the studio on Wednesday, but with the new baby, it's impossible right now.

So you got a new baby.

I'm going to try.

Yeah, baby girl.

Congratulations.

How many kids?

Three.

Holy two girls and a boy.

Congrats, man.

So how newborn?

Like very recent within weeks?

Yeah, four weeks.

Man.

Jeez, you're in it right now.

Yes, you are.

You're in it.

I'm on the grind.

That's why I was late today.

I'm in it right now.

The grind's real.

That's life buds.

That's Navy Steel Camp for humans.

They did hit more than 10 of them.

Yeah, exactly.

Couldn't even imagine it, Connor.

Well, congratulations to you and mama on a new baby.

Congrats to you on Crushing TV, and we appreciate the hell out of you for your time.

Hey, thanks for having me, boys.

Talk soon.

Hey, after you get out of this stage with the new baby girl, maybe we'll go back to Lordo, a thousand beers.

You know what I mean?

Maybe soon.

Yeah, yeah, baby.

All right, Patty Baroga.

Patty Barrogo.

Hey, Patty.

Your burger is served.

And this is our finest Pepsi Zero Sugar.

Its sweet profile perfectly balances the savory notes of your burger.

That is one perfect combination.

Burgers deserve Pepsi.

Pattiday presents in the red corner the undisputed, undefeated weed whacker guy.

Champion of hurling grass and pollen everywhere.

And in the blue corner, the challenger, Extra Strength, Pattiday.

Eye drops that work all day to prevent the release of histamines that cause itchy, allergy eyes.

And the winner by knockout is Pattay!

Hattiday.

Bring it on.

Whoa.

I mean, I had some Raviolis in there, but for me, it was mostly just like a thousand beers.

Everybody you've ever run into in your life, you want to drink a beer out of Lord?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sounds good.

That was AJ.

That was your fucking, still is problem.

Yeah.

Drinking a beer out of it.

Jack.

Absolutely.

Yeah, I think it still is.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Has anyone turned it down?

If someone said, hey, you want to drink a beer out of the standing couch?

Oh, yeah.

Somebody grandstands about.

Yeah, you're right.

That's not who I am anymore.

Anymore.

And I'm proud of people that are.

I want to let people know that I'm proud of them for figuring it out and doing their thing.

But if Lord Stein the Cup is presented, I think you kind of have to do the hockey gods a favor

and house that beer.

Seven beers.

I don't know, man.

That's a lot.

Definitely could do it.

You've got to do it.

I mean, you've tried before.

You can do the beer bowling off the second story.

Yeah, six.

That was six.

Okay.

So you can do it.

Yeah, you can definitely do do it.

That came out immediately.

Well, so I crossed the street.

Nobody wanted to let them see me do it.

Are you kidding me?

The place wants bananas, obviously.

Walk in there, hit this thing.

The place goes great.

Oh, my God.

Ah!

Ah!

Yeah, projectile.

All right, I love that.

Had it as fast as possible, yeah.

Had to turn a corner.

Well, that's the problem.

Seven beers.

You can't do that.

Like, you would have had to probably at least drink like 10 beers before you do a a seven beer one.

Like, that can't be.

I see some people do 18.

So,

who?

Or

American Hero.

Joey Chestnut did 13.

He did.

I think it was a Banker's Dawn.

I don't think it's 18.

You also, you can't do it

right after winning because you

pass out and die.

You're so dehydrated right now.

There's a lot of beers.

But remember, they don't get the cup from.

Well, there's a lot of water in beer.

Yeah, no, I'm saying like in the locker room right after winning.

I feel like that's when your adrenaline

is so high, you know?

It's like, fucking put several of those things in there.

I can do this.

And then you just stop.

Hey, beer on jerseys, beer on sweater, beer in a mouth.

Let's keep it moving.

I just found out Patty Ruin wasn't going to be here on Wednesday.

Is that what you just found out?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's what I just found out.

I appreciate him doing that to our face.

Yeah.

And also, I don't know how he's been doing this with a four-week old.

That's crazy.

Yeah, that's nuts that he even was on TNT last week.

That's what I'm saying.

Shout out Mama.

Yeah, weapon.

Shout out Mama.

Maybe like Lord Stanley's handlers.

Mike.

Cate.

Mike with the good hands.

Yeah, he's got the gloves on still.

So it might help with the baby a little bit.

Definitely.

What's that?

How long has it been, Mike?

50 years, maybe 100 years.

Forever.

He actually named it Stanley Campbell.

He created the cup.

His name is Mike Stanley.

He's been there since before he was that adult.

Trophies.

He's not the Lord Stanley.

He's the prince.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's the greatest trophy in sport.

Yeah.

Not even close.

I agree.

The Borg War.

The Indy 500 thing?

Yeah.

Also up there.

Awesome.

The water Wanamaker needs to figure it out.

Stop putting your golfers in a bad position.

Glue that top on, man.

Do something.

At least a half cock on it.

Like, there has to be some sort of halfway.

Yeah, a latch.

Something.

Yeah, a latch is easy.

Scotty Scheffler's like the calmest, coolest guy of all time.

Yeah, just boom.

It looks like an asshole.

It doesn't need to look like an asshole.

Or take it off.

Yeah, just don't have it up there.

Have it be a cup because it is a Wanamaker cup.

They should have that sitting next to it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They should have that sitting next to it because they know what's happening with that whole thing.

And you can bring in in one of those that is a beautiful trophy, it is in total, yeah.

I mean, I guess Scotty Sheffer's so locked in, he's just, I'm trying to win the trophy.

I'm not worried about what the trophy is.

A trophy's a trophy, right?

Yeah, let alone this one.

We saw this one the other day,

that's right.

That's JD Vance, JD Vance.

Just that's a terrible setup.

That one's dumb as well.

Yeah, we don't, we just we're just trying to like just be

one piece of

time.

Just look at the Stanley Cup.

That's a beautiful trophy.

They're all beautiful, but it's one piece.

It doesn't matter.

It's one piece.

It's simple.

It's the same.

Yeah.

The Lario is beautiful as well.

One piece.

But as far as the best ones, the best ones have a little panache.

That thing is huge.

The Stanley Cup is huge.

The Borg.

The Borg is huge.

Even the college football trophy, pretty large, you know?

Yeah.

Like, the biggest ones have the best Moxie.

Yeah, I concur.

The worst trophy, you could argue, is the biggest tournament.

The World Cup trophy stinks.

Jesus.

Really?

I did not know it.

It wouldn't happen either, but

the whole thing is beautiful.

It's a beautiful bigger tournament.

The FIFA Club World Cup that you were with was beautiful.

That was a great trophy.

Yeah, that thing's awesome.

Think about these people walking up to me.

Okay, when I did that the boxing extravaganza at the time when you weren't supposed to touch it.

Yeah, they hand me this trophy.

Like during the break.

You know, they asked me during the day, like, hey, do you mind if we bring the trophy up?

It's for the first club World Cup this year or whatever.

I'm like, absolutely would love to see it.

You know, can't wait to see it.

Do the whole thing.

Then they try to figure out where they're going to put it.

It is a big, it is a big trophy.

It was gorgeous.

Looked big, too.

So they obviously tell me you're just not allowed to touch it.

They tell me that earlier in the day.

I go, okay.

And I just move along.

Me and Booker T are talking.

We're having a good time.

Like this is WWE folks are in there.

We're in a diner.

Me or the entire thing, they're pitching us.

It's got Fat and Marty's rolling.

You know, Lindsey Lloyd's throwing 100 on the paint.

Oh,

Elik Fitting's cooking.

I mean, there was, I think Nick was even there at one point.

It was a, it was good.

It was good vibes in this diner.

Long day, good vibes in the diner.

So they come in, they're saying, would debut a trophy?

Hang it.

Yeah, do the whole thing.

So they tell me, can't touch it.

I go, okay, sounds good.

And then they leave.

You know, me and Booker T get back to conversation about Booker T being one of the greatest humans to ever exist.

More people need to know that.

I love Booker T.

Sent him a text last Friday joining the show.

He sent me a text on Sunday.

He said, is this on Zoom?

We need you.

So they bring the trophy back up and they put it right next to me and they go, you are not allowed to touch it.

I go, should you move it down the table a little bit more?

Because that's very close to me.

No, you're not allowed to touch it.

Just take the thing off and don't touch it.

I go, okay, sounds good.

And then as soon as you see that thing, it's hard not to just be like flies on shit, brother.

What are you talking about?

Yeah, look how nice this is.

Let me see if it's real or not for the people at home.

Booker, remember they told me, don't touch it.

Yeah, I remember Terrence Crawford.

He was really in on it.

Bud was in on it.

Yeah.

Bud wanted to touch that thing.

Bud was really really worried about it.

That's been a non-cease fight in Canelo.

Did anyone say anything?

Oh, yeah.

The two handlers were right offset.

Drew guns.

Yeah.

They asked us to actually take that down.

They asked us to take that down.

Don't share that ever again.

It's like, all right.

Because you touched it?

Yeah.

Could you please, we don't want, we want the first people to touch this to be the first ever.

Whose trophy is that?

The Club World Cup, Bets.

Yeah, how does that differ from the other World Cup?

It's the first time ever happening.

Yeah.

Who won it in America?

No, it's happening in the summer.

June.

First time ever.

Before shoot, sounds awesome.

These teams are competing.

In the outsounders, White Caps.

On Real Madrid.

Barcelona, I think,

the crew, the Cincy Storm.

It's like an actual

champions league for the whole world.

These are the real teams playing.

Since he storms playing, he's bushed.

The only teams from the MLS that are in it are Inner Miami and the Sounders.

And then LAFC is playing in a match that if you get in this tournament, you basically get $10 million.

So, whoever wins this match is for $10 million.

Okay, so it's locking on Sucker.

Yeah.

And I would say the trophy, I felt it.

It's a real deal.

$100 million to the winner, too, as well.

$100 million?

$100 million to whoever.

Wait, who gets the money?

The team owner?

Who gets the money?

The players all get it.

Do the players get it?

I assume there's a slotted percentage for the players, I would assume.

Yep.

Yeah.

Okay.

$100 million.

Yeah, 0.05%.

Where's that money from?

They wanted to make it a billion dollars.

That's what they wanted to do.

Who's that would have been this dupe?

Who are are you coming from?

Who's financing that?

Sports, baby.

That's where VIFA is.

Make investment in sports, baby.

Come on.

We like these.

$100 million tournament that just got created.

We like that.

Why not?

Is this the second biggest one behind the World Cup now or behind CONCAFA?

Yeah, it'll be up there for sure.

World Cup, CONCAIFA, Club MLS Championship.

Gold Cup, Gold Cup, and then the Club World Cup.

Club World Cup.

Got it.

TST.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's a difference.

And then.

That's up here.

And then the World Cup.

TST is about to happen.

Hopefully.

I don't know if my lungs or legs know that.

Hopefully.

I hope we're not expecting the cleats to touch my feet this year, but we will certainly.

I thought you're putting in a good 60-70 minutes a game.

Well, that's not how long the games are.

Thanks for paying attention, Lash.

How long are they?

They could be.

There's no ending.

You know, I kind of do the ending.

Oh, yeah, target time.

That's great.

Oh, yeah.

All soccer should be target score ends.

All soccer.

Also, I also need to be prepared for the possibility of T-Wolves at Pacers, game one of the NBA Finals.

Yeah, might have to be there for that.

That's happening at the same time as TST.

Might be some Carrie Indy transportation, show up in jeans.

Let's go, boys.

I got touched the pitch one time with the arena boys.

Yeah, show out.

I know meeting the boys are ready for a TST.

I don't know if the rest of TST fully understands what we did with this team this year.

Fosso went to work.

Complete overhaul.

Yes.

Faso, well, we learned the sport.

We learned the tournament a little bit.

It's like, what's everybody else doing?

Well, we have too many.

This is like a lacrosse conversation.

Yep.

Bingo.

We have too many big field guys.

We need box field guys, arena guys, just like lacrosse, the whole thing.

And it's like, that's who kind of understands this the most, especially with the goalie work.

Wait till you see our fucking goalie.

Not that Stoner and the boys weren't fantastic.

Loved our goalies last year, but they were big field goalies.

Gigi?

Oh, Tony?

Tony's coming back.

Tony Mule

will be coaching the team.

Okay.

Coach slash goalie.

I don't think he's getting on the pitch, but would like him to.

If he's up to it, I'd like him to put his little finger saver gloves on.

And I like to see Tony Mule get out there.

I'd like to see him do his backflip, too, that he used to do back in the day at the coin toss.

Want to flip for it?

Boom.

Tony Mule hits the backflip.

Yeah, we'll flip for it.

How about that?

Give me the ball, and we'll move forward.

We have another assistant coach that has been added to the roster that people know.

And then, obviously, manager Gampino is still going to be there to keep the refs in line Peter Chech in that now I thought it was Gigi before it's not Buffoon or Peter Chech is somebody better than both of them remember you guys are thinking big soccer again you guys thinking big field soccer sure but goalie I mean Gigi can do yeah but this guy can play with his feet big time and target time target score brother you guys bringing in Dominic Hashick yeah basically basically good call smaller goal basically with a full

ass yeah yeah feet like noir just know we got we got a team issue are we gonna go further you guys had a pretty good run last year.

Yeah.

Okay, Fox, he feels like you said that because you know what the answer in my mind is.

Yeah, I mean, that was amazing last year.

And I'm just wondering if you guys are going to do it better because that's going to be tough to do.

Of course they will.

Thank you, AJ.

That's a really good answer out of you.

There's a chance for me in my eyes.

The way I viewed this was we had a hell of a run.

We had a great time.

Yeah, fuck it.

Legit magic last year.

Great team.

Things were great.

We're going to be able to replicate that, we think.

We got a lot of depth this year, to be fair.

We ran out of gas late in that tournament last year we had guys playing full game boom and mike fost went to work started building up the roster and he's like this is what the roster could be if we want to do this and it's like oh we got better the issue is i think the other teams did too sure so i i think this tst thing was it was a spectacle was it not i mean that was that was an awesome event i think very cool to watch in person i don't know how what it's like watching it street actually i did i saw it when i got went back i watched you guys play after i went home it's still cool on tv honestly because of how it's set up and small.

And then, what do you call the target time at the end just makes it all

worth it?

Yeah, because any team can win.

You're never out of the game.

That's what I love about it.

No matter what, you're never technically out of it.

And they're eliminating players.

Yeah.

Goes down to the game.

Yeah.

Wasn't it two-on-two in the 70s or the championship?

It was nuts.

And you need your goalie.

Yeah.

So you need, because if not, one of the players has to put on a penny.

Goalie, it's just a bunch of, it's like a chaotic scene.

So, but if you have a goalie that can play, it's like, that's a massive benefit.

Not that our goalies weren't great goalies.

Guy stood on his head, if I remember last year for us, but I think it was Stoner.

And then immediately upon target time, we had to take Meat off the field, need meet on the field.

Had to take meat off the field.

Then he had to sub back in to be goalie.

And he scored like three or four goals for us from goalie, but he was also off the field for like four or five minutes in like the most important time because he had to do the whole thing.

So we learned.

We learned.

But I think we're not the only one.

That TSD tournament's very well done.

Yeah.

There's some teams trying to cheat as well this year.

So we'll see how that goes.

Why aren't we doing that?

I think we are.

We're trying to cheat.

No, I've seen some guys on these teams that are actually under contract with pro teams, so I don't know what that's all about.

Oh, Kalou.

Man, you need to talk to some of those guys.

Halou?

I didn't know that Lou was available.

I don't know if they changed the report.

I did see a breaking report with Halou.

Yeah.

Did you interfere?

It could be us.

It could be CONKEFA, to be clear.

I don't know what Mike Foss is up to behind the scenes.

Okay, he's

acting general manager of CONKEFA SC.

Yeah, maybe he was the one that got involved in the lionel messi inner miami negotiation and said hey we got something for you at tst pal make sure they have a slot in that contract where you can come play for us or maybe he just says i don't want to be on a contract with anybody so i can play in tst because that is the rules you can't be on a contract in a main division or something like that i forget what the on a team so there's a lot of guys last year that were getting signed like a week before tst to these teams because they were on like a premier league team and then their contract runs out and it's like hey you want to come play in tst for us Sure.

There's like five, six guys that were playing international at a high level that were signed like within a week to these other teams.

I didn't know it was happening this early, though.

I didn't know we were able, now that we are able to do this, I might have to call a general manager of teams and say, hey, have we snooped around with Lou Messi?

Yeah.

Steve Nash playing?

I don't know if Steve Nash is playing.

Does Jage have a team?

Let's hope.

That's a lot.

I think he's actually banned for the tournament.

I was going to say, after last year, I don't know if they want him to be the other friend of town.

The watch raised some hell down there.

Yeah, I almost killed the guy.

He was so big.

Watching him attack people that had the ball in person.

I was like, I saw him.

I'm like, Jage, I had a great time watching you play.

You played so hard.

He played hard.

He played lights out, too.

Like, he was 100% the whole time.

I almost scored a goal.

And we said, shut up, Jake.

Because he played in the first game at the same time as us.

How'd it go?

He said, I almost scored.

I'm like, Jake, shut up.

And then we watched the replay.

It's like,

yeah.

The guy was scored then against Concafa.

He was playing playing in

the extra time

goals.

He had a go.

He was playing the whole thing.

It was like, Jade, Jesus, I had no idea you were in this good a shape.

Their team lost, inevitably.

Yeah, we gave him hell the entire game.

I don't think he was a huge fan of that.

There's him fouling,

just fouling the shit.

Get up, boy.

Out of Zach.

This guy's representing the United States of America right now, I think, in footsby.

Same with me.

Is he back?

I believe Zach will be back.

The Arena Boys, I believe, are back intact.

Okay.

Yeah, JJ went for Gordo.

That That was a bad move by him.

Yeah, sure.

And then Sportson?

Yeah.

Then Zat?

Yeah.

Zat and JJ.

Yeah, they had a nice big battle.

Excellent battle.

Is that the

two biggest dudes bumping into each other on a soccer pitch in the history of soccer?

Probably.

Yeah, good chance.

I mean,

maybe like Pooh Yole Van Percy, you know, throwback.

Sure.

Well said.

Well said.

That's a legitimate pull.

Maybe Zizu.

Zizu, sure.

What did Zizu do in his last game?

Fucking he Zizoo'd everywhere.

Everyone was like, where's this guy going?

Is he zigging?

Is he zagging?

No, he's Zizooing.

Zizu would have fit in well with the Concafer team.

Yeah, need him.

He actually head-butted a guy in a World Cup.

Oh, Zidane's a dane.

Zizu.

Oh, that's his name is Zizu.

I knew that.

Bonjour Zizu.

I knew that.

If you said Zidane, see, I'm a formal guy when it comes to soccer.

I don't know all the nicknames.

I'm not that in the loop.

Oh, you're kind of 30,000-foot view?

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I like to check in on my footy guides.

TST coming up in a very short amount of time.

I was looking up things on that can make me lose 30, 40 pounds.

And then what can make my lungs better?

Okay.

In a week and a half or whatever it is.

How long are we?

Two weeks out.

Two weeks, too.

Both of those seems like a spending.

I need a super.

But you got some good results.

You get some good answers on that?

The internet always has the answers.

Yeah, it too.

I did find some things.

I ordered them.

I ordered them all.

We'll see if it work.

Time will tell you know time will time will certainly did you see this age it's nasty it's like you tore your peck or something i know what do you think it was legit i think it was the elbow you were talking about i think it was that weird elbow he threw but he you're right he definitely has internal bleeding still he might be in the hospital we don't know

if i had to guess

25 fingers say he's hits on the inside what's that buddy

Sorry, his bruises don't, yours are out on the outside, his are on the inside, so it's much more chance.

Much more serious.

No, we don't know.

He wore a full shirt shirt the next day, didn't he?

Yeah,

he did.

He might have one tonight.

Yeah, we'll see.

We'll see what it looks like tonight.

Good card tonight.

Great Monday night roll off of South Carolina.

Yeah.

Seamus back.

There's a banger coming.

Oh, yes.

Him and Grayson.

Couple bangers.

So Seamus, you know, lad of the program, friend of the program, after the Gunther fight, comes up to me and goes, fella, you know, you could have practiced on my chest if you wanted to.

Because that was first time ever.

So what you saw was first time I've ever lay ones and

ever.

Hand hurts so bad after the first one.

I'm like, holy shit.

How's this going to go for the rest of the match?

And just goes numb, by the way, which almost helps it.

Which almost helps it.

You start throwing that thing around.

You don't get to feel it at all or whatever.

But that was the, yeah.

So that was, look, you see right on his chest.

You see it.

You see that?

He's bleeding a little bit, I think, too.

Bingo, thank you.

Just cut him.

Took a lot, get some.

Yeah, that was a big one.

Yep, that was a big one.

So I wonder if he had already bruised my.

Yeah, Jeez Luis.

jeez louise all right he can take that down thanks foxy jeez

jesus christ it's always the same clip yeah yeah i can't see that with a whole match it's always that same clip i just go watch

time and time and time and time and time again jeez no bruising there yet but it was already in pain interchangeable yeah it was already in pain but yeah seamus told me i could have practiced on him what a guy

yeah but you know what that means truly a couple receipts he practices on you yeah keep those receipts i laugh and i said i don't think so bub he goes what I said,

you would have just let me.

Well, I would have probably showed you.

I'm like, yeah, exactly.

I'm going to try not to do that ever again.

Yeah.

I'm going to try not to smart in that situation ever again.

But you got to do what you got to do.

You got to do what you got to do.

Yeah.

Hopefully Cole isn't running his mouth again.

So him talking about the, I mean, the Knicks, he's already doing his full shit.

Sure.

Doing his full shit.

The Mets, I think he's out.

Yeah,

a lot of people are souring on Juan Soto.

Really?

Yeah, I could have never thought this was going to happen.

Juan Soto is the big signing from the New York Yankees to the New York Mets this offseason.

Correct.

The Mets locked him up.

They spent $765 million on him.

It was a massive, massive contract.

That's how much money he's getting paid?

Correct.

Over the next

15 years.

Yeah, all guaranteed.

$765, not like a fee to the Yankees for...

No, no, no, no, no.

He gets every bit of that $765 million.

He hasn't had a very good start.

And this weekend in baseball was like the rivalry weekend.

So Mets and Yankees played the Subway Series.

Juan Soto went one for 10.

Not great.

Not really what you're paying a guy $765 million to do.

He had

a base hit in the eighth inning, not really a base hit, but he hit one hard up the middle.

And the guy for the Yankees, their second baseman, made a diving play.

And Juan Soto is just fucking loafing it down to first base.

Gets thrown out.

People don't love that when you're not hitting.

Hey, this is a high-leverage situation.

We're trying to win this series here.

This fucking guy, this fucking guy's walking down a first base.

He actually did play pretty good in the field, but yeah, you just, you can't be paying $765 million for a guy.

And in the biggest moments, he goes one for 10, you know, in a series.

Okay, so that's Juan Soto's story.

Now, tell me about the Paul Skeens story.

Yeah, I mean.

This is horseshit.

Yeah, it is.

I explained this to Paul Skeens in front of an arena of 12,000 people in Pittsburgh about how the reason why they are chanting sell the team with you up here is because everybody in Pittsburgh knows that with how great you are at your job, this means you're going to get wasted.

You're going to be gone.

You're just not going to play here.

And Paul Skeens, his credit coming into the season, was like, I want to change this in Pittsburgh.

I want to be the reason the Pirates change the way they do business.

I want these Pittsburgh fans who have been great to me to experience what great baseball is like yet again.

Because we have the ballpark.

We have the tradition.

We have the Yinser fucks that would show up.

Paul Skeens bought into all that, legitimately.

Perfect ace.

Young and naive.

That's what people in Pittsburgh are saying.

I saw your tweet to a tone.

Yeah.

Let him out.

Yeah, so he threw the first complete game of his career.

Eight innings.

Yeah, because

they were the away team, and they were losing, obviously, going into the ninth.

So the Phillies didn't need to bat

in the bottom of the ninth.

But it's one of those things where

he would never say it,

but he has to be perfect every single time he pitches.

I think the stack that's going around right now is in like his nine starts this year, or it's either nine or ten.

He has 17 earned runs that he's given up, which is unbelievable.

I believe the Pirates, I mean, he's three and five right now.

Like, so if he doesn't, he's just, he doesn't get any run support.

So, if he goes, and it's, I'll tell you what, it's done.

I don't care how good you are, it's very hard to go out there and be fucking perfect and not surrender any runs every single time you pitch, no matter what.

But that's kind of the situation he was in.

And then there was the clip going around of him on the edge of the dugout.

Yeah, right here.

Just like, like, he knows it.

It's like, Jesus fucking Christ.

It doesn't matter what I do because they don't score for me.

They don't score for me.

And it's like, you know, and that actually, what Passon said last week was starting to get picked up a lot more over the weekend by like a couple baseball aggregator accounts.

Like, I think they're going to trade him sooner than later because, like, for a guy like him, like, he just, I mean, he doesn't want to do this shit, you know?

Let's go to a Pittsburgh Pirate fan for his entire life.

Anthony DiGiulio, you were a part of the sell the team chance in PPG Paints arena.

You were obviously a person who was a Pirate fan whenever they were terrible at baseball because you were a part of the once number four ranked in the country high school baseball team.

I wish it was four.

We were 24, but it was too good.

For Pennsylvania.

Top 25.

For PA, it's pretty good.

Go, Mustangs.

We're all Mustangs here.

Amen.

Love baseball.

Love the Pirates.

The Paul Skeeting situation is obviously one that's that's putting a focal point on what the Pittsburgh Pirates have been under this ownership.

Yeah, this whole season, I wasn't letting myself get too close to Paul because, you know, I knew what was going to happen.

But after seeing what was happening this whole season, they did nothing for him.

I've decided

I think I kind of wrestled with this yesterday.

I think I'm no longer a Pirates fan, and I'm just going to go join whatever team Paul goes to.

I think I'm just going to change fans to that team.

I saw a tweet, and I think you're mocking that tweet right now.

No, I agreed with it.

Okay, because I do believe the people in Pittsburgh will feel a connection with Paul Skeens forever.

Yeah, I saw that tweet and I agreed with it.

So, yeah.

Yeah, so whenever the tweet, there's a tweet that came out that was like, I don't think the Pittsburgh Pirates are taking into account that whatever team Paul Skeens goes to, a lot of Pirates fans are just going to become a fan of that particular team.

I think that's probably an accurate assessment.

I think a lot of people will be Paul Skeens fans.

As long as this ownership group is still the owners, then yeah.

These people fucking suck.

Sad.

He's a guy.

Yeah, and they knew that last year and they did nothing he's a guy they haven't paid shit to anybody the guy they brought cutch back and think about him mentally cutch is a dog obviously we like cutch everything he's done for the pittsburgh pirates think about mentally for him just like at lsu at a sec those stadiums are all in front of 30 000 people championship indianapolis here They were upping the prices of AAA baseball tickets.

People were just filing in the city to watch this guy.

And then in Pittsburgh, if he's on the road, it'll be in front of a lot of people because Paul Skeens is coming to town.

Right.

But in Pittsburgh, it's like, we don't even want to support the owner is what everybody's saying.

So we don't want to show up or buy tickets.

They're almost like

protesting the pirates because Paul Skeens is there.

But Paul is, you know, it's like a...

He's kind of the, he was kind of, he's kind of the nail in the coffin because, you know, people were mad before, but they were like, oh, you know, whatever.

Are we actually going to be able to do anything?

But now that you have this unicorn and you, once you, like, you have.

perfect for the city yeah yeah and then you do you still do nothing then it's like oh okay like tyrese hylaburton perfect for india indianapolis and the indiana pacers like perfect perfect match coach carlisle perfect coach this is the type of like when you have that it's like a good situation you know i think best situation paul skeins is like perfect for pittsburgh like that is literally he likes it doesn't mind horror work mustache sometimes like the whole thing america let's go like gritty like everything about him is like this guy is perfect for the city and it's like well ownership doesn't think or care so it makes it worse it almost makes the whole thing worse because it's like how how do you ever have hope as a pirates fan if you got this dude who's he is demand and this is what happens so all of a sudden they're gonna trade him away and now then what just then you have you do got to sell the team well that's why i think people don't really because like he is he is the guy right now but like the pirates have been in this situation multiple times like garrett cole was was paul skeens 10 years ago

And yeah, Glass now, same thing.

It's like, that's what happens.

These guys aren't appreciated by the Pirates.

They leave.

They go win a World Series somewhere.

They win a Cy Young somewhere else.

But like with Skeens, like I mentally, I can't imagine what it's like.

He could start any team.

He would be the ace for...

damn near any team.

Maybe, maybe, you know,

2018s.

He'd be the best pitcher in the rotation for damn near every pitching staff in the major.

And he doesn't care about any of that.

Okay.

He snaps and plays baseball.

Like, that is what he does but there has to be people around him that are like

dodgers are in front of 40 000 people paul's imagine paul the athlete that he is in front like that juices i assume oh yeah games that matter that's when you see guys throwing like oh he's got a little extra like last night you know the yankee starting pitcher who they paid a bunch of money for he throw his fastball is usually like 93 94 miles an hour they're playing on sunday night baseball against the mets his first fastball of the night he's throwing 98 you know it's like those guys you get up a little bit and it's like oh shit shit, like, this one matters a little bit more.

But D-Butch keeps buying the hat, and this ownership just keeps playing.

You talk about like the legacy part of it, too.

Like, it's unfortunate, but like, you know, his strikeout numbers will be insane.

His ERA will be insane, but like,

he's not winning games because they don't fucking score runs for him.

So, you know, like, he might have one of the best seasons of any pitcher in the MLB this year, and he might end up going, like, 9-13.

And, like, that's just not right, you know?

Can he hit?

He can hit, right?

He he used to hit well they got they got rid of the uh the you know pitcher hitting but he could he could pinch hit on one of his off days they need when he's pitching he needs to get out there could do endeavors for skeens right now poor guy i know who that is socks the answer is no

we're gonna need 14 first-round pits yeah that ain't happening all of them no you want established players okay we we don't gotta do that established players you gotta pay players don't want established players what are you talking about well that's that's the thing it'd be one thing if the owner was like you know what we'll for like two three years, we'll eat into these gross profits we're making every single year.

And we'll pay a competitive roster and go front.

And then, you know, if it doesn't work out, you reload, you rebuild, you sell off, and you recoup those gross, fat stacks of cash that you're getting from the league every year.

But they don't.

They just continuously, year after year, just collect, collect, collect.

See this guy?

And let everyone leave.

This guy walks through the stadium and they say, fuck you.

All of Pittsburgh says that.

Look what he did to the bricks.

Yeah, it turns out that was a lie.

They came to us about the bricks.

They came to them and they were like, hey, would you like to do something special with these bricks?

Like, I know we're going to get rid of them.

And he was like, nah, fuck it.

Throw them away.

And then that guy was like, oh, that was like, you know, a very special memory I had with my deceased father.

And he's like, oh, sorry.

We had no idea.

We'll try to find it for you.

Yeah, it's it's the bottom of the river.

You're all right, Skeens.

What they did with that.

I mean, the Pacers are in the conference finals.

Find a new drink.

Who gives a fuck about baseball right now.

Yeah, I mean, you're right, but for our guy, Paul Skeens.

I feel bad for him.

I do.

It does.

We should let the world know that, hey, this guy, okay, don't have a winning record, not gonna be in the playoffs.

He's really good.

He's up

nights like tonight when you don't have basketball and you don't have hockey.

You know, you're Monday Night Rolls.

Exactly.

But you're wishing, you know, that Paul Skeens is pitching.

Skins is on the bump and you can watch it.

Yeah.

For the Dodgers.

Imagine the wishing for the Dodgers.

Well, we don't need that, but

he wanted to fucking LA.

Don Pitts, right?

Could you imagine Shohei with Tawny?

Fucking Skeens pitching.

Them in the dugout, yucking it up, just talking shop.

Probably because

he feels like more of a Boston guy.

Well, that's what Connor's trying to push.

I mean, he genuinely does.

And the Sox actually do have a lot of young, really good players.

So, like, we are.

I mean, I'm not going to say it this year, but like, there is hope on the horizon for the Red Sox big time, and they do spend money.

He'll be a Yankee.

There's a chance, for sure.

We know it.

They're going to be very aggressive pursuing skeins he's allowed to have a mustache right oh yeah they actually changed that he can have as much facial hair as he wants now what's gonna matter when you get paul skeins in her saw that down the line as soon as he got in the media yeah let's change this old rules

yeah let's get a couple years we can't say we did it just for paul but it will certainly be the case as far as when garrett cole came he had the big beard he looked terrible yeah he shaved it so much better who is this fucking fat face guy we just gave 325 million dollars isn't it crazy how much you can change your look james harden with a beard wildly different.

Like Tim McFee had a mustache for a long time as a kid growing up, shaved his mustache.

I was like, who, who, who?

I don't know.

That's what above your lip, below your nose look like.

Then he had a beard there for a bit, shaved it, whole new person.

I mean, when you had a,

you had to shave your beard for a costume.

Oh, my God.

Don't worry.

Yeah, the worst.

I'm happy we ran with that.

Yeah, it was worth it.

I'm happy that wasn't a full bullshit rib.

Feels like still this day.

The next day feels like it.

Flat back off a cage.

That felt like one, too.

Shave your face.

It'll be great.

Ah, fuck you.

Never mind.

Nah, we're not doing that anymore.

Well, you guys gluing my fucking facial hair back on or whatever.

Oh, it looks great.

Yeah, yeah, you look a young man.

No, I don't.

That's why I keep it.

Looks terrible.

All right.

Good Monday.

Yeah.

8,500 this week.

Yeah, it's raised for your favorite.

Oh, get the flags out.

9900.

Who's the favorite?

What's that?

Who's the favorite?

So, it depends on how you think about it.

Favorite.

You know, who's sitting on the pole is a little bit different than who's probably the favorite.

A rookie is currently sitting on the pole.

Mr.

Robert Schwartzman out of Israel, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Rookie is the leader

and sitting atop the pole position for the Indy 500.

First time in 40 years that a rookie has won the poll.

He averaged 232 miles an hour, point something over a four-lap qualifier.

He's in there.

Now there was a couple cars that were not allowed to qualify.

Penske cars.

Joseph Newgarden, previous Indy 500 winner, was not allowed to qualify to sit on a poll because they had done something to the engine or welding something that was deemed illegal.

So they were not allowed to qualify, although they are in the race.

That is Joseph Newgarden, who was not allowed to drive a car.

So he decided to take a little jog around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

They all live in there or around there basically all year, but definitely during race week.

And it kind of becomes their little community in that track.

And there's always some sort of drama.

Oh, yeah.

Penske owns the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

He owns the IndyCar League.

And he owns cars that are obviously in the Indy 500.

Two of his cars not allowed to qualify.

Fuck you with him.

There's drama.

Yes.

Yes, that happens a lot.

Like Penske, he's quite a character.

So whenever he buys it, he loves IndyCar and he loves the car and cars in general.

So a lot of IndyCar people were happy that he bought it because he's going to care for it and everything like that.

But Penske's still a dog.

I mean, he is still trying to win everything.

Gannassy, obviously, out there.

Go ahead, pal.

Don't say the drama today is I saw

they have Joseph Newgarten's car from last year that won in the museum or whatever.

They went and looked.

Same exact thing that got him DQ'd yesterday is on that car from last year.

See, there's always some type of drama.

There's always some type of drama in there.

The museum, obviously, a beautiful thing.

The Indy 500 in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is something that obviously this state loves.

It's the largest sporting event in the world that this city hosts, literally downtown Indianapolis, every single year.

And I from Pittsburgh did not know a lot about it before I moved out here.

These drivers are fucking insane.

They are literally strapping themselves into rockets.

Into rockets.

And just going around, obviously, this massive oval.

And one little slip or one loose like bolt or one shift of wind can just flip your car into a sail literally you're flying through the air colton hurta on friday ended up crashing into a wall

who knows what happened maybe just a little piece of wind he's done bang

through the sky he's on his head they have a shot from inside the cockpit where he's literally just flying with debris and fire and sparks going over his head.

Boom.

It used to not have that rail there.

It used to be completely open wheel racing, uh which is why they talk about it just 236 miles an hour that guy was going right there and then bang all of a sudden you're on your head he wasn't the only one mclaughlin on saturday i believe he was practicing or maybe during a quality boom he's up on his uh head and then flipped over and then thrown down the track can happen just easy as that they're trying to figure out weight at all times they're trying to figure out wind they're trying to figure out jet streams they're trying to figure out where to turn how to turn and obviously mclaughlin ends up uh in the air flying through the sky.

And then I think everybody remembers from the Indy 500, one of the greatest of all time, Scott Dixon in 2017.

I think a back wheel ends up bad for somebody else.

He ends up crashing into another car.

Once again, they're going 220 plus miles an hour here, 230 miles an hour.

Boom, he didn't do anything, was just trying to get out of the way.

He ends up flipping up over top of a car, traveling 100 yards plus, landing on top of the barricade where he was sitting.

And then that's during the Indy 500.

So obviously there is a hush amongst 400 000 people that are in there and then somehow these guys get up and walk away and then they find another car to get themselves into so they can finish the race going 200 plus miles an hour the indy 500 is a spectacle.

Obviously, the science and everything around the cars are insane, but the drivers are so courageous.

I have no idea how they strap themselves in there and do it, but it's a spectacle every single year.

And Indy 500 week feels big yeah this year sold out 109th indie 500 sold out completely and i didn't even know that was possible it happened for the 100th running this one also sold out so it's about to be a big one and a rookie being on the poll is a massive ordeal for the sport aj So it does feel like this one, like, it's, it feels like it's almost a month long, indie week, like indie, the whole 500.

I feel like I've been hearing about it for two or three weeks now.

But

how often?

Yeah, it is.

I got your flags up in May.

I get it.

But how often does the poll sitter tend to win this thing?

Do they win that often?

So So the statement is always like Indianapolis Motor Speedway will pick who wins because there's so many crashes.

It's like this track will decide basically who's going to win.

So early, there's a big one.

Early, there's always a big one that knocks out like 10 people.

You just got to hope you're not a part of it.

So if you're in the front, I guess technically you should be able to stay out of the shit.

21 times it's happened in the 108 races.

The last time was 2019 with Simon Paginot.

Oh, Paginotee.

He's racing.

He's good racing.

He's a good racing.

So it it should be an awesome spectacle on Sunday.

And it's not blacked out here, so we can watch it on TV for night.

Let's go get there.

That's big.

Is Larson doing the double?

Yes.

Kyle Larson will be doing a double.

I think Kyle Larson will be coming in the studio on Wednesday.

Let's go.

Hell yeah.

He wrecked too, right?

Has practice.

I thought, like, last week, I thought I saw a video of it.

Thursday, maybe?

Could be wrong.

It's crazy.

All you need is just one.

It's insane.

You probably saw F1.

Yuki wrecked.

Yuki.

I didn't see that right under the fence.

Yukuleus.

The shunt.

No, Yuki Sonoda.

Wow.

Hey, wrecked?

I didn't know you could wreck with the F1.

Oh, yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

I thought they were on a track or on like a little

rail.

Yeah, one of the best drivers ever, Artin Sinna, he actually passed in Imela out in Italy, and it was a big, obviously scary wreck.

That's what he just raced this weekend.

But yeah, they have some big.

Oh, yeah.

They're crazy.

How fast F1 cars are going?

Because they're bigger.

They're bigger, and the tracks are, you know, I guess more dynamic, have a little more character.

We have straight core

They get up to about 215-ish.

215.

That's it.

Like I said, it's different.

It's their own faster.

It's different.

I mean, this guy is rookie.

I'm familiar with his name.

Schwarzenegger.

Schwarz.

Yeah, he was a reserve driver in F1.

I remember it through the Academy, so I'm glad he's, you know, he's found his footing, have some success sitting on a pole.

First time, how many years?

40.

43, maybe?

First time in 43 years.

43.

Sitting on a pole.

This is like the bad guy in Talladega Knights, is what this is.

No,

he handled himself very, very well.

And, you know, it would make sense that the F1 guy would do very well and there's no other cars on the track.

Sure.

You know,

that would make a lot of sense.

But whatever the case, being the fastest at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, first time.

Big deal.

Big deal.

Unbelievable.

In his third lap, he was going a little bit slower than his fourth lap.

So it's like normally first laps your fastest because your tires are the best.

Grip matters.

Then second lap get a little bit slower, third lap get a little little bit slower, then your fourth lap get a little bit slower.

Then it's the average of the four laps, whatever that speed is, that's how they figure out who and how you are seated.

Top 12, fast 12 or whatever, are kind of racing amongst themselves for who is the top 12 starting positions.

That's kind of what fast

Saturday, Fast Friday, whatever the case, that's the qualifiers.

So it's a four lap average as opposed to just a one lap average, which is Schwartzmann brought up is like, it's hard because it's not just one lap.

Like normally it's just one lap, your best shit.

This one's four.

His third lap, he was going a slower speed than his fourth lap, which I don't know how that makes sense because his tires should be worse for the fourth lap.

So it feels like he's learning as he's kind of going, much like Kyle Larson was doing last year during the Uni 500.

I'm excited to watch them all.

I think it's good for the sport to get that involved.

He was asked afterwards about the country in which he's from, Israel and everything going on.

Gave a great answer.

I mean, just like, feels like he's a professional.

He's not going to Russia, too.

Yeah.

It's a good point by you, though, because when, since he's in first to start, when a car passes him, he's going to...

What the fuck was that?

Is someone else on the track with me right now?

Somebody get this guy off the...

What the hell?

Yanking pass in this?

We don't get it.

You guys didn't see Van der Stoppen's ledger in there the whole time.

What did Van der Stoppen do?

He won

just the turn one move he put on this weekend.

What'd he do?

A slingshot?

Someone called it a shake and bake, if you will.

It's a bit of a cutoff move.

Yeah, the McLaren's have been the most dominant car all year long, so they had pole position.

He just

did his thing, and we're stapping football from then on out.

He won?

Vanner stopping?

He did.

Congratulations, Vanner stopping.

Nice.

Did you see Dell and Logano were battling this weekend?

Logano and Del.

I did it.

Logano was allegedly not happy with the movie.

He was pouting.

Joey was pissed.

Joey was pouting about what Dell did, and Del said, I'd seen Joey do.

Oh, yeah.

I've seen Joey do worse movies in the world.

I thought we were doing some good racing.

These boys were.

Damn.

I mean, it was dancing.

They were really dancing in NASCAR.

It was awesome to watch.

I'll tell you what, when the boys are battling.

It's awesome.

It is great.

The finish to last year's Indy 500 was fucking sweet, where New Garden is moving.

Yeah, like trying to battle up front.

That stuff is really cool.

And the no-drag

trying to get people off your ass.

Like the entire...

That's like the difference between.

We have that too.

We got DRS.

We got all type.

We got all the same.

Well, not the same shit.

It's better, actually.

Okay.

Okay.

We'll see.

People just get deterred by the laps.

That's what people.

Because I think it's 500 laps.

Bingo.

It's 500 miles.

Yeah.

So it's not 500.

It's 200 laps.

Yeah.

But even the 200 people will.

I feel like even that is so much that people are like, okay, I'll check in at the start, and then I'll check in in the middle, and then I'll check in.

At the beginning, you need to watch.

Have to.

The beginning of it all is

the spectacle at the beginning of it, the pageantry of the Indy 500.

They do that very, very well.

And then obviously the beginning, there's chaos.

Yeah, this is this is crazy.

Tom Breddie doing the flag this year?

He's doing a car.

Oh, okay.

There's a little slingshot.

Yeah, right.

He's going to be in the pace car.

Yeah,

maybe the, yeah, probably the pace car.

There's like, there's a pace car, then there's an Andretti car that you ride along.

There's like two, three cars in the front of the entire thing.

Like that, that was nuts.

Yeah, they're going 200 to whatever it is.

Yeah, this is some impressive shit.

The indie 500 is a real deal.

The crowd is

a real race.

100th, yeah.

The crowd is crazy.

Schwartzmann doesn't have a sponsor?

Is that what we read?

No, yeah, I read from, I think, Will Buxton.

He said that he does not have like a main sponsor.

I assume that some company will get in.

Yeah, probably last night.

Price just went up.

I don't know how he was able to win the poll without a sponsor.

I don't know how that is.

It's crazy.

Like condomdepot.com will come in and sponsor him like they used to, you know, put the fake tattoos on boxers.

Yeah, maybe, maybe Condom Depot.

Maybe.

They were big back in the day.

There's a chance Lily here in Indy just goes,

you want a couple million bucks?

I think I read his crew chief was working at SpaceX the last two years.

Okay, so

maybe X gets on board.

Yeah.

Did you see 60 Minutes?

The guy that created the Oculus and sold it to Facebook has a mullet, first of all.

A legend.

Mollet.

Got fired.

Did you see this on?

He was on this week.

What's his name?

Yeah, I've seen different things he's doing.

Yeah, what's his name?

He's building the drones now.

He's building the military drones.

For us?

I think he's selling them.

Oh, boy.

Highest bidder.

Well, we are the highest bidders.

I don't know about that.

I think there are some others that have drone game pretty strong as well.

But he goes from making the Oculus into making these drones, and he's got this beautiful mullet.

Beautiful mullet.

Can you look up the 60 Minutes article of this guy?

Because the grooming of his hair in this thing in Hawaii.

He's built a big plant in Ohio, too.

A big plant that they have like all the Intel, all the, you know, those giant data centers.

He just, he built something here.

Hey, drop the pin there, brother.

Let everybody know.

Geez.

What the fuck?

Oh, it's very public.

It is a very public situation.

Yeah, they're huge.

He's building like fighter pilot, fighter plane-sized drones.

There he is.

There he is.

That was him.

Look at him.

That was him.

I'm walking through the living room, 60 minutes on, because it was post-something, maybe golf.

It was post-golf.

I'm walking through the living room.

I see this guy.

I go, what the hell is this thing?

And then all of a sudden, I hear him talk, and I'm like, oh, this is super genius.

This is a super genius.

And I guess he's now pretty much-I don't know.

The way they're making it sound like he is the one.

I got good news.

It's uh, the headline is: Tech Billionaire

wants to remake the U.S.

military with autonomous.

Okay, okay, so that's America.

Don't like that either.

Pilots, though.

I don't love that.

Well, no, there will always be pilots.

Mav will always be.

I know.

Do we want to break that?

No.

No.

Tomorrow.

We have huge news.

Uh-oh.

We bought an F-22.

Yeah.

Bingo.

We did not.

No, we did not.

No, not a bad idea.

Yeah, no,

you get a Harrier jet, you can land it right out there, right outside of Thunderdog.

Bingo.

I've seen one of those

at an airport.

Just fuck, see you.

Yep.

My future is awesome.

It's like, I don't know how these.

Crazy.

Yeah, I don't know how we are able to do that.

The shit that we have or that's out there that we have no idea about.

Exactly.

Yeah.

That stuff's cool and we know about it.

The stuff that we don't know about is even cooler.

The cost of an F-22 Raptor fighter jet is estimated to be between $150 to $190 million.

We did not buy one of those.

Just like that to be a matter of fact.

Sure.

You know,

geez.

Is that brand new?

Fricking $190

per aircraft.

That tech billionaire was like, how do I make 10,000 miles?

All the money in the world.

I make these fighter jets.

Just 10 of them.

That don't.

Yeah, I just sell a bunch of those.

Jesus.

Those big brain guys got it figured out.

Yeah.

We got a massive guest coming on the show this week.

Huge.

Massive, AJ.

Like, physically massive?

Both.

I think you would just say

a Goliath.

Yeah.

A Goliath is on the show this week.

Okay.

Sweet.

I don't even think he knows.

Hogger?

I assume not.

Probably not.

i don't think aj knows oh aj big guess this week wait until you see can't wait you're gonna

lose it truly

i think so yeah

i think his biggest guess

uh it's not a work aj

i mean so many

names going through my head the rock this is that pantheon yeah he's the rock he's up there with lebron

Or could it be a she

well, it sounds like we've pretty much alluded to it being a dude.

I don't know, though.

Yeah, we have.

He doesn't even know who it is, and he's fully on board.

Could be a sheet.

Could be.

Never know.

What I do know is big.

Yeah.

Huge.

And all that, let's get the fuck out of here.

Monday Night Raw night, South Carolina.

It's going to be a huge week.

Let's go.

Shout out to Tyrese Halliburton.

We'll run that video here to wrap up the program of our conversation earlier from the Pacer fan named Hans Perez, who was over there in New York wearing his Halliburton jersey, and he got, you know attacked a little bit.

Sure, just know that good story comes out of that entire thing because Tyrese Halliburton, that man is an absolute legend.

We'll be back tomorrow with a massive Tuesday, huge Monday Night Raw tonight.

Yes, 8 p.m.

Eastern on Netflix.

We'll be in South Carolina.

It's going to be a thousand degrees down there.

I just thought about that.

Oh, yeah.

Look for my face to be a nice color of red, potentially like this ram truck right here or this DoorDash mug.

Not that it isn't usually, but those high humidity areas really cook me from the inside and the outside.

Opposite.

I'm a little bit worried about that, actually.

I should have been thinking about it.

I should have been preparing for this all goddamn day.

I feel like I've been properly hydrated.

Yeah, there's no prep.

You don't even know if you want to be more hydrated.

You can still just sweat it all.

Make it even more sweaty.

I start sweating in some of these places, and somebody will come over and be like, Do you want to pat that off?

And it's like, why?

As soon as I do that, it's coming again.

Just like the pressure washer with the goose shit.

Yep.

Yeah.

We'll be back.

I need those Canadian geese to be.

You just got to kill them.

Buy a wolf.

Just kill them.

Buy a monkey.

Put a monkey out there.

Scarecrow?

I've had a scarecrow wolf thing that they're supposed to be scared of.

Just kill them.

These fucking geese just walked right up to that thing.

Actually, you know, probably would do it.

Just walk it.

An animatronic Halloween scarecrow, like those six-foot things that.

Tim McFee's got an idea.

I don't know if you heard.

We ought to fucking full on.

Wah, quack.

Just walk coming up.

Dude, I'm telling you, they will see that bear and shit on that bear.

They know these things are smart.

They will.

These things like the gossip, too.

These little Canadian geese.

Always have.

You could just have Bill camp out out there.

You could eat them all.

I don't know if you're allowed to eat Canadian geese.

No, the poop.

All right.

Let's get out of here.

Big guest this week.

If you got any Canadian geese answers, send them my way.

And yes, I know you're going to say shoot them in the head.

Sure.

I've already thought of that.

Yep.

I've actually fake gunned all of them.

They don't even know.

I was sitting next to Sam and McKenzie.

Sam's like, what are you doing?

I'm like, that's that, this problem could be over.

If I had Jack Carr-like abilities with a gun of some sort, 22 probably.

The issue is with how flat Indiana is.

Yeah, things going right into a window.

Yeah, there is.

There's no way.

And the water on the other side, too.

Who knows?

So that's the issue.

You got to get a crow's nest.

So I got to to build up a backstop.

Elevated position, fire from.

If you want Jack Carr,

I don't think Jack Carr is allowed to kill these things.

I looked it up.

You're not allowed to shoot your heads.

You shoot frozen paintballs at them.

It won't be any evidence.

No, yeah.

I think your heads will explode.

But I'll pressure wash that shit out of you.

You get a sword.

You can eat paint all year.

Cleaner.

Canadian geese is delicious.

I don't know if anybody can get AI and geese.

I assume they're very

greasy like a duck.

Yeah, it's a delicacy.

Or greasy like a

chicken.

Oh.

Did you put rice out there that you blow up, right?

Different.

I don't know.

Honestly, at this, anything.

I know everybody's just thinking about how we kill these things.

You put Coke in the bird feeder.

Cocaine?

No, no, I don't think

it's cool.

Or either one.

Their tiny little bird stomachs can't handle it.

So there's swans, too, around.

And these things are supposed to protect this land.

The swans are supposed to not get along with the geese.

Not these swans.

Yeah, not these geese either.

These things got no fear there's two bald eagles that live

and it's like yo america yeah

right here yeah every time i go yo

they fly away i'm like what are we doing what are why don't we just sitting right here kill them all oh do you have speakers out there Tim's taking two of them.

Yeah.

Big ones out there.

I think it's going to be squawking.

So everybody on the lake needs to know that there's a thump coming.

And that is two speakers that Tim McAfee's putting out there to try to get these.

These Canadian geese, I'll get out there fucking later and they'll be fucking dancing.

Whatever this thing is.

They got the most moxie, these fucking things.

These courageous Canadian geese.

They never stop pooping.

I don't know when.

Do they just poop all the time?

I think they just poop all the time.

Used to cover our soccer fields back home.

See, let you Canadians deal with this.

Get them out of my country.

What?

What?

But the feral hogs, man.

You have to get rid of them.

You have to.

Your feral hogs are allowed to hunt.

You're allowed to send dogs when are we going to open that up on these

it's almost as if

yeah

just hanging off the edge

it's almost as if the geese aren't real and they don't want you to kill them to find out what's inside them all right on that note we'll be back tomorrow maybe ladies and gentlemen use the hashtag uh no we haven't come up with one we'll do it tomorrow okay i was gonna have people guess who the guest is we'll do it tomorrow we'll put some effort into this giveaway because if you guess who's coming on i think it should be celebrated yeah because nobody's going to expect this person yeah

Goodbye.

You've seen the headlines, heard the debates.

The three-point ball has created a monotonous rhythm to the game and others.

Has the three-pointer ruined basketball?

And how did we get here?

The rise of the three-point shot can be partially traced to an eccentric Kansas genius named Martin Manley, whose story didn't turn out quite the way he imagined.

I decided I wanted to have one of the most organized goodbyes in history.
