the hakership and the microphone at the same time, so it's a little difficult.

“But all this adversity, it's hanging out here, and what you can do is you can take all”

of those self-perceived issues and fears and adversities that we face every single day when you're going to get to top to you. And you've got to stick up down deep because it really doesn't do anything for you to dwell out of. So you stick up down deep and then you realize that all those adversities and all those issues, they're just figuring out your imagination. I wish they could have made that red flag disappear on the field, as quickly as you did

that would. You know, there is no such thing as badging. It's all mentally and center.

Now you did that. I want to do this with this. This is like any other newspaper. You have a front page for people who want to read the news. You have the comic for people who can't read. And we have the editorial page for people who can't think. It's like anything else you have to have a faith in a belief somewhere along the line. I'm not sure. I used to do this trick all the time. That's when I was younger. But I'm not sure I can do it, but then event,

“I think maybe we can't. I used to do this with a phone book when I was younger, but I have”

trouble tearing it up. I want to tell you, physically I have a lot of problems.

Literally, I'm in sharps I've ever been. However, however, that's one of the advantages that not being very sharp when you're growing up. Because then when you get dementia, people can't tell. It's like anything else. Many people go to think they saw me tearing that up. But it's all mental. If you really have a strong faith in a strong belief in what you do, it can't work out.

Somebody said, how do you do that? Perfectly I thought, but it didn't event, it didn't matter. The following program is a collective of students who is talking about happily getting a sports world. It is made to be comedic informative. The opinions expressed on this show, you've got necessarily reflect the beliefs of their peers, their boss, or ESPN. They're

“babies of customers because that's how humans is the real world talk. If you are a young,”

please take permission before walking any further. The old-time leading taker for the Green Bay Packers. Hello beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode. The thunder out with some special guests on this big sports Thursday, March 12, 2016. This program begins now. Four. Are the absolute greatest thing about time, and obviously we'd like to send our

condolences to the entire Holtz family and say, "Rest easy. Coach Lu Holtz, we appreciate the hell out of your contributions to sport and society." Obviously legendary coach who is a mast. Two hundred and forty-nine career wins as a head coach. His record at Notre Dame, a hundred thirty in two. Is that good? Yeah, he's a national champ, and obviously would go on to become an international treasure. We have a kid who happened to go to Catholic

school and has a imperfect, a perfect Lu Holtz impression. So we have had Lu Holtz a part of our show literally since the beginning because of the toxic tables at Boston corner and at Ty Schmidt. Ty has maybe one of the best Lu Holtz impressions of all time. Everybody that does the Lu Holtz impression says they have a good Lu Holtz impression, and that's strictly because the way Lu Holtz spoke was obviously iconic. Everybody knew what it was. Ty has been

speaking like Lu Holtz since he's in like seventh grade in full conversation, so he could go literally anywhere at any time. And we think that we have been told, "What have we been told this?" And we think this is a true statement, not just something being put out there. Coach Lu Holtz was impressed with Ty. I think there's been a lot of people who have done a Lu Holtz impression,

moment up there at Notre Dame, which would inevitably start a massive, back and forth between him and the head coach of Ohio State Ryan Day. And through it all we apologize to him and his team and the only response was don't you worry about it. Lu Holtz was a dog. We are very, very grateful for him, his contributions to our show and what he has done to me. He would send messages through his people through me that were like, "Just keep talking until you figure it out, brother."

And it's like, coach, you're coaching me up, you don't even know it. I wish I could have played for

“him. I think the football world will miss him. And rest easy, coach, you're the man, dude. Honestly,”

you're done good. You're done good, buddy. What? People voqua. The AD of Notre Dame joining us

here in about 35, 40 minutes. We have shrakes back, joining us in the second hour, and then earnest,

obviously legendary country hip maker is in town for a concert, friend of the program. He's going to swing by as well. We got some guests here that bought a trip to the Thunderdome at a charity event, Peyton Manning Children's Hospital. I believe in the past kicking the stigma has happened as well. Ms. Kerry, I do believe all the way to the left there has been a part of the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital Gala for a lot of the years, has donated a lot of money. And she told me

the last one I attended, she was going to win this. So I appreciate you doing that. In shot the Dallas Clark, just he was the auctioneer, just given away a bunch of money. All right. So we didn't know what we were signing up for, but we appreciate you, people giving your money to a great cause and hanging out with us. Now on that note, one after the hammer, Cowboys AP Tone is here. Tone, I don't know what the odds were that a massive trade was going

to happen 15 minutes before we go live on this glorious, big sports Thursday, but that certainly happened. It might kick off a wild free agency, frenzy that's about to take place. Joining us now is the man that broke the news from his Twitter account. A man that's about to be living a chaotic, hectic, stressful life for the next few weeks, he's senior ESPN NFL Insider, Adam Sheppard.

Okay, let's grab the brain just for a second and put it into one spot as we got to go

a lot of different places. I know I've already taken up too much of your time giving an intro to you. Sheffty, DJ Moore has been traded to the Buffalo Beals. My intel on the situation when I brought DJ Moore's name up to Brain and Bean when I was at the combine with him, glowingly, saying his praises, love the way he played football. That was a conversation I had with him, a combine, had no idea he was going to make a trade for a wide receiver, but here we are, the Buffalo Bill's

ad DJ. How do we get here? Why do we get here and what are your thoughts and what are people

“saying about it, Sheffty? Well, again, Buffalo was in the market for a wider receiver. And I think”

there's a little bit of a receiving race in the AFC East because you knew the Buffalo was going to be adding a receiver and you know that New England is going to be adding some offensive weapons. So, Buffalo strikes first and reaches agreement today with the bears for a trade for DJ Moore. Now, again, what's the point for the competition? I guess it's going to be a draft pick, mid-round pick. We'll see how it works out. That should be out here fairly soon. But DJ Moore

becomes the new weapon and the kind of playmaker that the bills are looking for. Again,

they always were going to go out and get somebody like this. And you can make the argument

DJ Moore was about as attractive as any wider receiver on the market. Chicago was ready to move on. They have the young receivers that they already do with Roma doomsday and Luther Burden and Colston Lovelin and Colcomet. DJ Moore's a veteran and now he goes on to the Buffalo bills where he played in Carolina with Joe Brady. Joe Brady knows what he's getting. Interesting. From having coached him in Carolina before Carolina traded him to Chicago as part of

that deal that essentially got the Panthers the number one overall pick. And the amazing part of that trade was that that trade wouldn't have gotten done unless the Panthers included DJ Moore in that deal. For the number, that was the piece that clinched that trade. And now the bears have taken that piece and are going to be sending him to Buffalo where the bills hope he's the missing piece to get to that game that they have not yet gotten to with Josh Gallic quarterback.

Obviously you have the best player on earth. You've got to win the Super Bowl. There's going to be heat on being. Does this dwell the fans a little bit now that they bring in a number one wide receiver type for Josh Allen's offense? You think Con Man? Yeah, it's a three-four tonight. It's probably two weeks six that'll buy being time at least. I don't know. There's a mean. The bill's interesting. A lot of mean stuff about being not everybody, obviously not everybody, but just

“portions of the internet are certainly doing that. So I think it's a fascinating development”

up there in Buffalo trading for DJ Moore. That's a weapon for Josh. Let's go ahead and go witness thing. Now let's go to Chicago. That's great. Hey, I think being saying, hey, we got it, Mom. Yeah, sure. Pretty good. Not bad. Ha. Better than it was. So if I go with defensive side maybe

If that's what happened in the future, congrats to being. Let's go to Chicago as you're probably breaking more news on this entire thing. They're making a move here. He wasn't a Ben Johnson guy, so maybe there was no loyalty and also go ahead tone. Yeah, Chefty, obviously with the Drew Dalman retirement, they're centers that clear some money and then DJ Moore that clear some money are the bears now big game hunting because there was a lot of smoke out there about them potentially

going after Max Crosby or now that they lost their center maybe Tyler Lindabrom does this put them in a position now in free agency or trade for the bears to potentially make a big move.

“I think they've checked in on Max Crosby. I don't know that they're going to be able to get it”

done in the end. I think there have been a whole bunch of teams in on Max Crosby. Everybody's sniffing around that feels like one of those situations that's it's quiet now. The volcano simmering the surface and we're just waiting to see whether that volcano or rocks here in the

coming days and whether the raiders decide to ultimately move on for Max Crosby. There's certainly

our any number of interested suitors. The bears have checked in. The cowboys have checked in. The bills have checked in. I would think a trade like this probably probably lessons the chances that the bills could pull off a deal for Max Crosby because you only have so many moves to make for big name, big game players, big money players. When you trade for DJ Moore, that's hard to give up all that money now to pay Max Crosby. Again, teams find ways to make things happen,

but I just think it lessens the chance that Buffalo can get something done for Max Crosby by making the deal for DJ Moore today. Okay, sounds good. Let's move along Max Crosby, by the way,

“I think that's the one. If Logan Paul was looking for a guy and it's not a retired NFL player”

if you want an active player, I think I think Max Crosby's who were probably going to send out. They're although any offensive linemen and any deal linemen. They do hand-to-hand combat every single day. I think we'd send them out although I am mildly impressed with Logan Paul. I just don't think he understands that the fatsoes in the NFL are just fighting every day. Yeah, like that in there. That pretty. How can it logins in great shapes? Maybe he survives. Maybe he dances,

but once again, fatsoes in great shape, too. That's the thing about these guys. So they're no longer fatsoes anymore. They're just huge bodies. It seems like. So I love the gimmick though. Oh, yeah. All the good conversation piece. Max Crosby's what,

"Chef, you're always your time of the ball." But also something you can report that

source says from within the Pat McVee show are saying, "Max Crosby's the one." He's the delegate. That's the one that we are sending out there. I'm sure others will have different ideas. Let's talk about some other players that could potentially be on the move and potentially win in that particular situation. Go ahead, Con man. Yeah, Jeff, you will this trade compensation affect anything with the Eagles and AJ Brown compensation. Do you see that kind of maybe lowering or do you see

the teams like the Patriots who have already been on the record making a deal be even more aggressive because the bills and the division have made a move for DJ Moore? No, because the trade compensation and this trade isn't going to involve the first round pick. And I don't believe there's a chance in hell that the Eagles would move AJ Brown unless it included a first round pick. And even then, I don't think they're all that interested in moving out from him. You know,

you're saying, AJ Brown being moved is mostly a lot of conjecture outside building, not really inside building. Like if they were offered some ridiculous deal, like if we're offered two ones

and some like a third and maybe a player, they will certainly listen to it, but would they do

that for any player in football? So can you tell me a little bit more on how close we are to that

“potentially happening? Yeah, I think here's the deal. Teams have been checking in. Like”

there was a team that called the Eagles this weekend and they said, hey, we have some interest in Asia Brown, what would it take? And they heard the price and they said, okay, well thank you very much, good luck getting that. I mean, so again, that doesn't mean he can't be traded, but if you're the Philadelphia Eagles, the way you're looking at it, you know, if you like every team is breaking down their various plans. So in the case of the Eagles, you're saying, okay, we can get on our

Max Crosby, which means we would lose Jalen Phillips, which means we probably get a third round compensatory drag pick back in 2027 because Jalen Phillips is going to crush it on the open market. So we could get, we could pony up and pay up for Max Crosby, a Micah Parsons like package and let's get a Phillips go and get back a third round compact. So would you rather have Max Crosby and a comp third or would you rather try to resign Jalen Phillips and keep ageing around? Like what

where do you think your better off is a team in 26 trying to win the Super Bowl? That's fascinating. Because everybody outside that building you're saying, he's rated a book on the side like, yeah, the guy doesn't want to be there every single other night on your plays, the new offensive coordinators drawing up plays with him in mind. Now again, that doesn't mean that he's not going to be traded, but I just don't think they have a high level of interest in moving often. It could

bears were open to dealing DJ more. What's cooking right now? That's another move or is that just a final compensation of the DJ more stuff? Well, we're waiting on the competition, but like if you look at it, the trades have been made this week. We're on Thursday. We have DJ more going to the bills. Tremic Duffy going to the Rams. David Montgomery going to the Dexons. Tide is how we're going to the Browns. So we're on Thursday and we've had four trades already this week. And I

think, you know, Ty and I talked about this, like this is what we expected, trades. Because the free aging class in the eyes of some has some real strengths, but it's not a very deep class and teams have more money than ever before. So they'd rather take their money and go put it into Tremic Duffy. He was going to sign a new deal with the Rams or DJ Moore was going to have his contract adjusted in Buffalo or David Montgomery or Titus Howard who gets an extension Cleveland. So

teams are opting. I think here to trade for players and I don't think we're done. I don't think we're done. Oh, I like that. That's good. There's actually a good clip from our show where you're on one phone with Austin and other fans. You go, we're going to go, we're going to go, we're going to go. Now, on that note, Monday. We can see Monday. Okay, let's talk about that because what you just basically said, there is free agency frenzy still going to be frantic, because this is our first time with all the

boys. Yeah, the insidio saying maybe not because the trades may be taken in and winning the day here

because the class. No, no. It's always frantic and the Americans always frenzy. There's always a frenzy in there.

Well, everybody always says it's like they said, oh, free agency opens Wednesday four. No, free agency is essentially over my Wednesday four. Most of these players will be signed or have agreements in place with other teams. Free agency really starts Monday at noon when you're on the air.

“That's what it starts. Yes, we know that you know that everybody in ball knows that and that's why”

we are so pumped that you're going to be out here. Same with Orlovski and Shregs. We got a big jib coming into town. I mean, we're doing, we are respecting the hell out of free agency frenzy, because this is when magic is usually made. This is when a team can potentially change the trajectory of what next year is going to be. This one teams are in the dumpster. Have the same capability is everybody else to build a roster. I can maybe take them to climax time right there at the top of

the bar. So whenever you think about what free agency frenzy is, it's really the changing of entire cities. Yes. And franchises and families. What? It's one of the biggest days in history. Dreams come true.

Big deals are made. Kids have come from nothing. Finally, experience the generational wealth that

they've worked their ass off for. That's what free agency frenzy is all about. But shefters like, well, I don't know. Oh, trade. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You have to, you know, is number one spender last year. Patrears made the sewer bull number four spender last year. C-hawks won the sewer bull. Okay. Let's go Colts. How much do we got? Probably not. Yeah. Shefters. We got a couple more quick questions as you were wheeling and dealing on your front at the same time. Go ahead, Todd. Yeah. Shefty,

speaking to the trades earlier in the week. You talked about Jonathan Grenard and how the Vikings were likely going to trade him. And then a report came out today that said, like, half the league has reached out to the Vikings on his behalf and that the seahawks are circling. Is

“this one of those deals that you expect is, is he likely to be traded within the next few days here?”

I think that this is a case where I don't think the Vikings really want to deal with, but it's one of those cases where if there's a team that offers enough to go get him. And I think it would be a day to pick. So a second or third, I think Minnesota because of the financial questions and issues there is going to have to consider. My guest is in the end when these things usually happen when you hear about a player that a team is open to trading, when there have been

discussions when that happens. Like usually a trade happens. So I would say it's probably more likely than not, but Minnesota knows how good he is. And I could tell he isn't going to be thrilled about

giving him up. Minnesota, 44 and a half million dollars over the cap now. What are they going to do?

It's quarterback position. Are they going to bring in a vet? Everything like that. That is situation, but that's part of the game. You got to be able to manage it. You got to do Southern cap gymnastics, excited to see how everybody works out. Now, find a question for me. What was the reaction around the league to Aaron Rodgers 75 minutes yesterday? I was pumped, dude. He's got just once to have sex with his wife and everybody's, you know, it's all he wants to do.

Very active. What's that? It does like he's wife for very active.

“Healthy relationship. Yeah. That's what it sounds like, you know, for me. And also,”

him putting over Mike McCarthy will hard. There's a lot of things that he said in there, anything that drew some reaction other than him and his wife certainly doing what God is telling him to do with each other. Is there anything else that it was kind of taken from there from a football perspective? Everybody wants to know, is he playing or is he not? And he didn't really give any indication. All right. Yeah. He did though. He said, listen, what do you want to do? There's

going to play football. Well, I got to know what it looks like. You know, how much I might get season

in two months ago. Let's give a deal then, maybe. I'm Pittsburgh Steelers. McCarthy did say that last time. Yeah. He's got to go through his all season process and we'll get to go. And when he also said something there about going through his own, did you not there? Did he not say we got to go through our, we got to go through our process, you know, getting guys in a building. And he's got to go through his process. So how long have you been working out here? Oh, I just remember him say that and I said,

yeah, that's that's big Mike to a T. He's the greatest. And he likes him a lot. So I think that will figure it out. And it feels like he's way too happy. He talked about how much fun he had playing football last year. And then if the situation remains the same, he's in shape because all the bone and I just, I think there's, I think there's, I think there's like there. I think he's good. I think he's good. All right. I appreciate the hell out of you, Chefty.

All right, guys. We'll see what happens here today tomorrow. And we'll be in Indianapolis on Sunday. You don't want to love about you. Just so calm through it all. Just don't ride the highs. Oh, don't, don't get too low on the lows. Can't just rate their ride in the, let's, let's, let's see what if you're staying the same thing on Tuesday. You're good.

“Has anybody on air just openly publicly talked about what your life is actually like,”

because I think it needs to be known. What this guy is putting himself through to get these tweets. This is all for these tweets. Yeah. That is what all of this is for everything you do for these tweets. Like the amount of energy, emotional energy that we appreciate. He still works like he's an up and coming insider. Yeah. We appreciate you doing that right now. Yeah. And then, oh my god, screenshotting. Hey. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well done. You felt good about that. You felt good about that.

Good, don't. Listen, Florio, friend of the program. I know well, this is people off though in, like, I mean, all that yeah, you've probably been pissed that like, that's for your football. Yeah, know that for sure. That's Florio football in a nutshell. And I understand in the game, you too, been there a long time. These had to feel good, put them out. I mean, these, this had to feel good, Chefty legit. This had to feel, well, you know, I thought my integrity was being

questioned. So I just wanted to, is that the angle that you're going with and is that why you felt obligated to do as such? Yes. It was uncult four. It was unprofessional. And it was unnecessary. Well, on that note, hey, you're in the sports world. So everyone's somehow shit is going to be talked. Sir, like it was and then you just came. I got something for that. Yeah. Yeah. That's an incredible

“thing. You should feel good about that. Not bad about that. We liked watching the joust out there. You're”

the man. Ladies and gentlemen, don't even think. Yeah. Take twice. Hey, maybe don't be barking up this particular tree. Okay. You don't know what's on the other side. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Chef. Yeah, Chefty. I mean, he felt so good, putting that to me. How about him trying to do the journalist angle about his integrity being questioned and being just going to grow? That was not integrity. That was he was talking shit on you. And you came back and just absolutely demolished

absolute murder scene on the internet. I've never seen it from an insider. I've never seen it.

I don't know if Shinzu art of war has that in there. Right, definitely. Rest in peace. Shinzu did pass away. Yeah. Mm-hmm. To soon. I think a lot of people said a lot of people have said, back then it was bad on time. Yeah, but that's one. No, but they wanted him to live. I'm not talking about it. It would be cool if it wasn't back then. He did what he wanted. Yeah. Well, my moon zoo carried it on. That's true. Speaking of carrying things on in tradition, um, the world baseball

classics started last night. Yeah. There we go. We're in it. We are in it. Yeah. Johnny Bazana. Yeah. Is that what's his name? Johnny Bazana, some people refer to him as Johnny Bazana's name. He's given name as Travis Bazana. Okay. Okay. I am sorry. I'm just learning to this guy. Holy hell. Yeah. We call Cal Rawley what we call Cal Rawley. Yeah. This guy's base is abs. He's a horse. This guy is an abs horse. The Australian people I do believe in great shape. I was over there.

Uh, so I don't want to say like I know everything because I was there for one week of my life. But you walked around. You very rarely didn't see somebody that was in very good shape. So it feels like whenever they turn their attention to a sport, their bodies can handle it. Like it feels like they are an athletic bunch. It does feel like that is who our Aussies are. I had no idea they did the baseball. And then this guy goes jogging on to the field.

“And they had like this low, jib, shot of them. Now that guy is a horse. Who is it has?”

Yeah. And then low and behold, hits an absolute bomb. They were talking him up the whole time. Yeah. And then he hits a bomb in it. It's like good for this guy. Is Australia, I didn't know they did the baseball down there. I had no idea. And how many Australians have played baseball in MLB? Uh, I mean, you know, a couple handfuls maybe, but there hasn't

been a guy like that. He was the first overall pick in the draft in 2024. He came over. He went to

Oregon State. So like he is expected to be, you know, five tool players. So like I think we were talking about this before the show. I don't think it's crazy to say like this guy is probably or he's expected to be the best Australian baseball player of all time. And you can see why big

guardians. But, you know, for Team Australia, what a night. Yeah, you always think about. And we always

talk about what this can do for America. You know, hey, baseball. We're trying to get this back to being the past time. Hockey team winning against Canada. Hockey teams winning against Canada. It's like, hey, that's good for hockey. Think about good for baseball in like Australia. Oh, yeah. Like, that that feels like it's especially what Japan being as good. And I don't want to act like I know geography, but they're both really far. Same. Yeah. So I would assume it has to be in the

“same area. I mean, that's why they're playing their games in Japan, you know, for the opening”

round, because it's closer than any other site. Good for baseball, man. If that starts happening, that was an electric atmosphere. Yes. That wasn't the only game. There was a massive grand Salami ding-dong in WBC coming out of South Korea, right? Yeah, South Korea and Chachia. And who, who was at Moonball King. And this is the first inning. So, you know, obviously not a whole bunch of people there for that, the Korean game, I think. I mean, times that you mentioned it, you know, who knows

what time this started over there. But yeah, talk about opening the tournament with some fireworks,

hitting a grand slam the first inning. And then this is also part of what's cool about the

World Baseball Classic, like Chachia, a bunch of guys on their team, like are just regular dudes, like guys who are plumbers, who this comes around, they're good enough to make the national team. And then they're playing against, you know, pros from Korea. Me vs. Karshall. Yeah. Exactly. Karshall got two outs. Obviously, how to get the jitters out fresh out of retirement, hangs one can't do that, keeps it up hard, whatever. Karshall understood that gets two outs.

Then gets a standing ovation on his way out. Hey, good to see you, brother. Yeah. Yeah, good to see you, brother. Good to see you, brother. I am, uh, I'm pretty pumped about the team USA. I like the mindset. I like the team. I like the vibes. I like the culture. I like everything about it. There was also a moment, um, was it the Dominican Republic? Was playing the team,

“and their picture was playing for the other team. But he was, I believe it, Dominican”

and pitcher. And he went and pitched for the national team. And then they called, he was like a young guy, I think. If my, the way I saw the story happen in the video that I'm watching, it looked like a younger guy. They were coming out to, a catcher was coming out to talk to pitcher, young kid from country in which this team is. And then everybody came to the mound and I gave him like an aspect like it was like a, it's cool. Yeah, I thought it was like,

I was watching in the, I was like, almost got a motion for the kid down standing there, because that's probably like huge moment. Yeah, for him. Yeah. That the world-based well-classic, I think, has been special to follow. And maybe it's because we are on this Olympic hanging over. Yeah. But it's like so cool to see people just, it's cool to see people come together. Yeah. It was there only opportunity. You know, and it's like we have it. But then you watch

these other games too. And you can see like how invested these other countries are. We talked about the crowd and the Dominican Republic and the game they played down there. Like everyone is kind of invested in this right now. Let's go back to the NFL. Let's talk at about investments. You have to see how I'm seemingly not making investments in a couple of important pieces of their Super Bowl run. Kenneth Walker was not tagged. He's going to hit the free and see he's going to get

paid pretty well. Rashid Shaheed, the dynamic returner and wide receiver that was brought into Seattle, midseason out in New Orleans. He's going to go hit free agency as well. I guess this is a part of the business whenever you win con man. Yeah, and also you just heard chef were talking about the, you know, depth of the free agents if you're a wide receiver right now. It's a premium position. Aside from our peers in Mike Evans, we really haven't heard much.

He's probably going to fetch that 24, 25 million. And then you just mentioned Jonathan Grinart also

was chef to like Seattle probably, you know, kind of zeroing in on the trenches rather than a skill position like this when they know J.S. and contract is around the corner. And once again, we trust Schneider. Yes. He's earned the rat to be trusted whatever he makes. This is just like around ball whenever Bill Bellachek would make a move. People just like, you know, that makes sense. You're getting rid of your, yeah, sure. Bill Bellachek's doing it. He was able to have success

and win while doing so. And none of his players that he would cut whatever make it through the waiver because everybody wanted whoever that was Schneider starting to get in a similar conversations because he was able to build two different teams in one place and he relatively quick turnaround. So I feel like that guy, not the best football thrower. No, sure. He tried. I mean, I'm not the best baseball thrower. So we all have our thing. Yeah, we have our crosses. But damn back guy, seemingly

can build a theme. So any decision he's making, we're trusting, we're trusting, but Shaheed is a weapon. Yes. In a lot of facets. And in the world that we're in right now with a lot more returns with explosive shots coming out of premium now because of the shell coverage. It's like

“Rashid, Shaheed. I think is going to get a little bit of looks. I think there's going to be a lot of”

Rashid, Shaheed combo just like there will be Kenneth Walker. Let's go to decision that was made Pittsburgh Johnny Smith who was trading for Miami. As soon as I read the headline, I was actually with Gumpy. Gumpy because he was so good for the dolphin. What a trade. Everybody's a super genius. Now he's being released. You know, Gumpy just obviously incredibly better about it all. Tell me a little bit about how Pittsburgh feels about freeing up the room. I guess in the

tight end room and releasing Johnny Smith and how did the experience go? You think as a whole,

potentially bring to the stealers. And whether it was his fault or anybody else is not the case,

“they're moving on. I don't think many people were surprised. Now so we go back to when like this”

first happened last year. There was like tweets about like, oh, Johnny Smith potentially going the stealers on his like, well, that doesn't make sense because his Pat fire moves just got a contract. Darnell Washington is really good. We need a third tight end making that type of money. And then he did come in. There was some good. There was some not so good. But they free up $7 million. They go from $44 million to 51 million now. So they got a lot of money to play with. And when I mentioned

guys like Pat fire move in Darnell Washington, like those guys are, they're going to be on the field all the time. You don't want to take those guys off, especially Darnell, like they loved Darnell Washington and Pat. So like, Matt Washington, you know, you don't need it this made sense.

He was always going to, like, this was a projected move the entire off season that this was going

to happen. But Johnny in the right offense in the right place, he's still, he's still really good. He's still a playmaker. So he'll, he'll be fine. Yeah, there'll be some offense that'll find Johnny Smith and then all of a sudden he'll be a playmaker. Yes, a lot of people say in Ohio State. Yeah, Ohio State with other Smith might not be a bad idea, but also if you were to say that that's not possible. And that was unbelievable. You just did, right? I'm just saying what the internet was saying

this through. Yeah. Okay. So you just, uh, sounds like you agree. It does sound like a little right after you say, I'll sound like a little, uh, what's that bird? A parent. I thought you are a parent. I have a parent. I am also, um, what's the animal doesn't have a spine at jellyfish? Uh, geez. There are a few people all say a million, too. A bunch of different cool things. Um, I guess that's quite, you're, you're kind of, you got a lot of depth actually. Thank you. I appreciate

that. Sky and, no, I thought our job here was to relay the news of what people out there say. That is a part of our job. That is a part of our job. I do believe we do that a little bit more. But every once in a while, that'll get us in trouble. Yes, it will. Yeah, because some people who aren't on the internet, which we think are people that are lazy. Okay, especially if you're in this

particular profession, they've never heard any of those things. So whenever we say, hey, people are saying

this, they think we're saying that just so that we can Sarah and personal thoughts. It's okay. This is actually people are saying this is actually what's going on. And that's probably a pretty good

“focus group, especially if you're talking about stuff, you should probably understand what's going on”

out there in where everybody that watch the sports seemingly is. So we just do a lot of like, hey, they don't know if they get upset. But people do get upset whenever we do something like, hey, we're just breaking into it. Don't, hey, I guess that's journalism. Yeah, people don't shoot the mess in here now. And then they go, then they say, well, those are all fake things. And it's like, no, that's all another conversation. Yeah, that's what I saw some of these setups of places.

And they're sending out tweets and comments and posts and following around behind somebody else, I'm like, how many of these computers have I gotten so mad at? Yeah, yeah, exactly. These assholes are starting. Yeah, big, big. Where are you? One person, 10 account. So you got to say for three of those, but that's getting more hard in our each day. Yeah, I mean, the style's dead. He's 200. Oh, the 10. Yeah. And you could understand how you wanted. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

Exactly. We do apologize. We do apologize for that. But also, could you imagine? I think they do have the science. We have the Comps, Tom Palace aeros reporting. The bills are sending a 2026

second round pick to the bears for DJ Moore and a fifth round pick for a source is a picks

up that give Chicago extra draft ammo in Buffalo, a new top receiver. DJ Moore. Good for him. He's going to be playing football with Josh Allen. Yeah. Uh-oh. A second in the second, not that's not bad. Yeah, I don't think that's bad at all. I mean, they're probably pretty pumped up about that. That's an unbelievable trade. Beans got to be pretty pumpedy. Beans probably thinks he had a bingo here. Yeah, I didn't a bingo with a bingo. Oh, yeah, bingo. If I, yes, have not talked to them since

then, everybody understands that we do have a relationship with him. He's a friend of the program. I'm excited to get his thoughts on this at some point. Now, they're not a lot to talk about

“it until it actually happens. Yeah. Remember that's like the big fight club thing. Yeah, it stays.”

We have a tampering period, but you're not a lot to talk about reality of tampering period until it's like, well, we're a lot to talk about, but the people that are actually involved, it's just like college football where a recruit commits. Yeah. And then while you actually, the coach can't say players name until they actually, so not even a lot to say their name because that's a recruiting violation. It's like, well, can they just say like, we want players that are

really big strong fast and smart and go to their family and their parents say they're good. Yes. So we think all the rules are stupid. If a deal is made, we should talk about it. And we should promote it because it would be cool to be able to get be no's instant reaction to this bingo of a trade right now. Yeah. Because this is a home run. Yeah. I think his eyes is a home run. He should be able to hit the press right then immediately. Hey, I did it again. Look at being over me. You know,

what it does though? Deep from now until next Wednesday at four or whatever it is. And then all those free agency signings that happen Monday and Tuesday gives us social media teams a lot of time. Okay, because Wednesday at four, they cook and then they finally put out official. And then we might need to have like a schedule schedule release type video for some of these new signings

They got the juice. I spent a day with combine alongside them. We were brainstorming a whole time, weren't we? We had a lot of good ideas for them that they could potentially put out and they put

the effort into building them and then ultimately never pulled trigger because we missed time.

Little light on the trigger. They should let some things go. Yeah. He aggressive out there if you're doing that. There was a couple tweets that we were trying to get them to tweet about the Bill's account. If, if. Yeah, especially with everything else going on. Yeah, we said, hey, any number that you were trying to show to Mr. Pagola say you're doing a good job. We can get that right here. Is right. Is that that combines a lot of downtime? A lot of downtime. Very good.

What about that? That was what they kind of get. They should not. That was like a seeing ghost type

“situation. Yes. I agree. Remember whenever they put, uh, yeah. That's what I said. That was the first”

takeaway. Like, what do they do in filming that guy? And you said, I got a triple plot. And I couldn't imagine waking up like that. That has to be a worse wake up of all time. And it was,

that's like in school, you accidentally dose off. And then you notice that the teachers potentially

looking at you. It's one of those moments. Instead, it's hey, everybody here. Yeah. And everybody home is going to see this. Yeah. Well, you're looking at your surface sure. Yeah, we understand. We appreciate that. I don't mean to bring that back up. But I would just like to go to bat for him very easy for somebody to, to dose off because of how terrible the in stadium show is. Yeah. It's warm and comfy in there. It's kind of like a library. Yeah. There's no air movement,

no truly no nothing. They put zero effort into the in stadium show that because this is a, this is an interview for the athletes. It got not a show. But we're inviting fans in. Okay. So maybe we try to make it. And then you go up to the team stuff and the team's are just sitting in there. There's obviously a juice person in each room. Yes. There was one person in a sweet down that you could clearly tell that they were put in there. Hey, nature to keep us up. Yeah.

Nature to, nature to keep the juice going because the meetings are going three, four AM. Exactly.

“And then they're going in and he's dead quiet, awkward, signed in stadium for seven hours. I think”

Aaron Glenn should not be murdered as much on that note. phenomenal, tweet. How to do it. It's the Jets. That's quite an nominal tweet by you. Thank you. Kyla Murray just is starting really flow. Kyla Murray is starting to become the number one conversation about a quarterback spot. Who needs a quarterback? They need to get Kyla Murray. And I'll tell you, I got trapped in a three-minute Kyla Murray highlight really. That is glorious. Oh, my god. Him running. Okay, whenever he gets going

because of his build honestly, it is a different style of running than we're used to seeing. But then he's just zooming right by people. I mean, he has the capability to outrun you. At this point, he has the capability you would hope to understand what the defense is doing. You would hope at least. I mean, it takes a long time for a lot of people to potentially understand NFL defenses and NFL defenses already evolving. But if Kyla Murray understands what

defenses are doing and he's still can run, which is 28 years old, right? How was he? 28 years old, whatever. So he's still going to be able to do this for a while, at least another contract if he had to. He can obviously spin it and he finds like the right reason to go all in. It's like his Kyla Murray about to do the same download. His Kyla Murray about to do the Baker Mayfield. His Kyla Murray about to do the Kirk Cousins at one time. His Kyla Murray about to do the Mac Jones

is about his Kyla Murray about to be the next one that gets his second opportunity and just absolutely slaughtered it because it's a nice fresh taste of football for him. We'll see. Or maybe he's hitting dangerous sort of Pittsburgh parts. I know there's so many different options here for how big of an athlete and how great of an athlete he is. But I watch that highlight reel and I completely got if you put him in a right spot and he's not

going to cost a lot of money. So he's going to be able to have weapons around him. No money almost.

Maybe a 1.2 million lead men. Tyler Murray having a resurgence would be bananas and good for him

as a whole. And there's a bunch of teams in the quarterback. It's like the conversation right now at the draft is hey, man, those uh, then Ty Simpson, then who knows and I mean, you can pull up the division chart and there are multiple teams in multiple divisions that need quarterbacks. Let alone teams like Atlanta. Like Atlanta's got a brand new coach. I got a quarterback that's only played a few games. You just tore his knee would he go to in Atlanta with Bajan, Bijan,

Drake, London, Kyle. Which one is it? I don't know. This is we we talked about the name thing. Yes. And we even asked him and I don't think we got to the bottom of it. He said it was mom. Yes. It's right, but he said, but everyone calls me Bijan and that's fine by me. Okay, so Bajan does have obviously recruiting capabilities. That was similar to Atlanta because how good football player is.

“But also the city of Atlanta is a place I think a lot of people wouldn't mind.”

You see what they're doing with the NBA team? Yeah, couple guys, not happy about it. I heard that. That's the end of the loop coordinate. You do. Yeah, I do. Wait, what are you guys talking about? What's talking about a place as great Levin pepper way? I mean, from the conversations that I've heard

Huge storyline. Yeah. Not just of the bubble though. I think if you were to peel back the curtain,

“I think magic city might be a big part of a lot of sports going back. Yeah, I think it would be a”

month club. A lot of sports. There's a don't bother. But once again, great kitchen. The Hawks are playing a game there. Great chef. No, so I think they're just doing. They play games. They're all talking about. Yeah, there's there's there's hoping on it. Yeah, I mean, there's there's a lot happening out there. People aren't happy about it. I'll say this little about the Atlanta Hawks. They're willing. Yes. Innovative. They will. They need to. What night were we there for?

There was an awesome night. Uh, big boy. Big boy. They're not the street. Uh, what's up? It was the two chains. And they did like all the peach tree stuff. The hoodie with the two chains. Yes.

But remember I sat on the first seat at the big boy's chair. Big boy's chair down there. They do right

down there. And then I got a big boy, but was there. That was 20 eight answers or something like, yeah, bigger than a pounder. And then you walk back and there's just some open resort style bar. You could do it. They are, they are trying their best for basketball live event. Future feels like the sessions are super cheap. But what sell up? I would assume you had to sell out. But there's

“people that don't say, is this what we need to be permut? It's like, uh, I think if you talk to anybody”

that's ever really gone through Atlanta, they would say it's part of the story there from a local economy. I was down there as an 18 year old. We played the sugar bowl in Atlanta. Uh, as we know, Adam Pac-Man Jones is, uh, is Atlanta, uh, stole the world. Yeah. Yeah. So he was down. He was not with the mountaineers. He had just left. But he, he did want us to win that game pretty good. If I like, and he was with us, I got show, I got shown in Atlanta by Pac-Man Jones, while I was 18. It was, I had a

great time. I bet you did. That was back in. Welcome. Yeah, jeez, he was going crazy. Let alone Alcass growing up. Ti going absolutely bananas again. Yeah. I mean, it would Luda all. Let's just come around. I kind of rattle and through the names here. Laina had wider like Gucci. Sorry. I apologize, Gucci. Um, I don't believe anybody. Can't can't miss one here. Yeah. Dig deep. Two chains. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll take a little later, though. I will say I think, uh, well, we got to go through.

Chauze. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Chauze can't be no. Okay. That's a little later. Yeah. We can go. We cannot open the window. We just do not. We just do not. We just do. We definitely need to do that. Some piece. Nonetheless, shout out to Atlanta. And yeah, the Atlanta Hawks, we happen to know some of the people down there a little bit. We've gotten to know the people a little bit. They're business people. They will get creative. They will try their best to make sure people are having a good time watching the

Atlanta Hawks because they think the future of live events and sports are kind of one with each other.

“And that's what they're doing as a whole. And they make it affordable. Just last thing for every people.”

Those business people. Yeah. Everything in stadium. It both falcons and Hawks. Like the prices are not absurd. What you see all the time. Yeah. It's like $5 beers or something like $3 water or as opposed to like 10 or 12 or 15. What's everybody's doing? I forget the numbers. But yeah, they are just trying to get people to come. We want people to have a good time and celebrate. And then if we win, which we need to start doing, that's better for all of Atlanta. So I'm going to

make it. Because there's reasons people are upset. And I get it. People could be upset for everything. I'm just saying they also take a shot on how many games are down there? 41. Yeah. 41. They're taking a shot on 41 different. I mean, they are. I appreciate that they are giving maximum effort trying to do this. Yeah. You know, everyone's why you're going to get one that maybe not everybody's going to love. That's going to happen. That's a lot of games you've got to fill. They're record

just went pretty viral. I don't know if you saw the tweet put it in the last like 40 games. They're 20 and 20 and they're last like 80 games. They're 40 and 40. They're last 160 games. They're 80 and 80. Well, I think it's their last like 2,400 games. They're 1,200 and 1,200. Like the Atlanta Hawks are on a historic run like that. But historically historically made the old right there. Yeah. I think I would be actually. I'm not the best French speaker. But I think that is

what come see comes off. And I think it actually means like, uh, uh, you know, I think they have fun at the arena. Great. They're selling it out. Yeah. Still selling it out. Joining us now is a man that we've been very lucky to call a friend of ours. His career and his resume is one that

people will look back upon and say, wow, that guy's an incredible American sports businessman. And

he's not only that, he's also an ex-punter. Ladies and gentlemen, the athletic director and there's an official title, official title. I don't have it. I looked it up. I should have had it. I'm sorry. Athletic director, Vice President and James E. Rohr director of athletics. Okay. We thank you for

me on. Appreciate it. No problem. I know the amount of money that was probably paid for that guy's

“James E. Rohr's name to be right there in front of director of athletics. So I want to make sure”

that keeps going for Notre Dame athletics. And I want to make sure we get that right on that note. We love that you are the athletic director for Notre Dame, not only because of how good you are as a businessman and how you see things, but also because you're a player there who happened to play for one of the most legendary coaches in the history of society. We would like to pass on our condolences to your college coach for your college coach Lou Holtz's passing. And when we reached out,

I just wanted, I thought we owe coach Holtz a little bit of love. And there was no other person we thought should maybe come on and talk about him a little bit than you. So thank you for making time. And is there anything that you think people should know about your coach? And obviously Notre Dame legend Lou Holtz. Yeah. And did you have you mentioned Pundra? I was unlike you. I was a

horribly failed Pundra. I was a walk on for a half a second under coach Holtz. And you know,

my dear friend Craig Hendrick who you know well was who inspired me to to give it a go. Quickly realized when I showed up on campus that I wasn't Notre Dame material but Craig took me under his wing and I had a chance to participate with the team for a short amount of time. But the real, the real value and treasure of those moments, particularly the second semester of my junior year and spring training where I spent so much time with Cole Chowtz until

another injury did me in just to get to know him. You know, my life at, you know, I grew up such a Notre Dame fan so many people from my family went to Notre Dame. He was a, he was a, he was a mythological figure. I mean, I quoted Coach Holtz and my, and a speech I gave at my high school graduation. He was my yearbook quote. And so when I showed up on campus and actually was around him, I mean, it was like seeing a legend up close and personal and then what was so wonderful pat, you know,

move that from, you know, being a fly on the wall of the football program for a half a second,

probably the least distinguished Notre Dame football. So you know, the football, they're getting to know him as a friend and to having him in my life, you know, particularly the last, I'd say 15 or so years, we became really, really close and he just had an unbelievable way to inspire people to make you feel just valued and important and loved and just, you know, a little thing like he, he was on a flight with my family coming to a Notre Dame game and he sat next to my son, Arthur, who's now 15,

he was probably around 12 and a half, 13 at the time. And Coach Holtz two weeks later, this unbelievable letter came in the mail to Arthur about what a great young man he is and how he looks forward to following his future and he knows he's going to go to Notre Dame and, you know, we have that framed on my son's wall and he, he said, he was a special special man just a unique individual.

“And an absolute beauty, I believe is how you describe it, like telling above and beyond all the time”

to let people know that they've been noticed or to make people feel as if this moment that you're

having with him is the most important moment of his life, even though everybody is expecting that.

We want to a corporate Christmas party here in Indianapolis, we invite this thing. And, you know, a corporate gigs for speakers are something that are stuff of legend, you know, like comedian talk about it and like leaders, I assume you have hired speakers to come in, Nick Sabons do it around right now, you know, like he's the speaker for corporate events thing. It's always something I heard about, you know, and how it is, but I never experienced it. Then I got invited this Christmas

party up on the north side of Indianapolis in Foxy. I think went with me. We had no idea what to expect. Okay, I have never been in the corporate world. I don't have any friends or in corporate world. My parents don't have any friends or in corporate world. I had no idea we're walking into. We walk in this place, chaos. I mean, we're talking full, full chaos. There's like, uh, there's a contest going on up on a stage. I mean, there's a bar over here. There's a bunch of people

dance over here. I'm like, damn, these people are getting down, like, really getting down. Then they shuffle us off into a back room and they're like, uh, once this kind of settles down, it's like a happy hour field. Then we're going to do a dinner. Then you guys are going to do your thing afterwards. It was like cool. So I had to be there for, you know, three hours. But I was only doing something,

“you know, it's a very good class of corporal. I think you guys, you know, whatever relationships.”

But I get into that back room. The only other person in there is Coach of Holtz. And I know I did. He was going to be there. I had no clue. So I opened the door and he's back there and I go, hold his shit literally right through his face, which is probably not the perfect reaction. And he goes, Pat, and he gives me like a full speech about who I am. He starts breaking, he did research on who I, he obviously knew. I was coming. He was a part of the, the board there.

feel as if he was lucky to be, if that make, he made me feel like he was trying to talk to me

“as opposed to me having like a thousand questions for him. And it was in that moment that I realized”

is like some of these people are casted as characters, especially in the sports world. If they're able to try on for everything. And then you realize like some of them are actually who they are. And whenever you meet those people, it's like that's a special entity for the history of sport. And it was in that day in that middle of that chaos. I mean, the absolute opposite of what you think of Lou Holtz was happening out here. And then in his back room, he just made me feel special

and then our relationship grew throughout the entirety. He was just a beast. And he was, he was sending messages of inspiration to me. It was like, Lou Holtz, why are you investing in me? And it was like, I just think he did that to everybody that he met. He wanted to be such a giver. Obviously,

“metal afraid of winter and everything else. And can you remind me of the heart of a line? I think”

you were the one to tell me about the heart of a lion story. Oh, yeah. I mean, this is such vintage Lou Holtz shows how just how quick and smart he is and how funny he is. So as I said,

I was a walk on for a half a second, right? Injearies and horrible, lack of talent, but eventually

did me in, but had a great, you know, great brief experience. So that I graduated in 93 and 2007 running the US open. And I got a call from a good friend of mine, Bill Fallen, who played football at Notre Dame in about 10 years and the before in the 70s and 80s. And he said, hey, I'm going to see Coach Holtz speak tomorrow. I said, Oh, that's going to be great. He's one of the great speakers in the world. So the next day, Bill Fallen calls me and he goes, Peter, after Coach spoke,

I went up to him and I introduced myself and I said, hey, I'm good friends with people of Aqua. And he said, he said, Lou, without skipping a beat, because people of Aqua has the heart of a lion.

And I said, he said that about me, he goes, yeah, without skipping a beat.

So I was like, wow, I went home, I told my wife and on, I would tell people that story. Now fast forward to 2015. I'm the CEO of the PJ of American. I did a radio show in series, like state of golf with people of Aqua. And what we're going to do with down in Orlando, and I asked Lou to co-host it with me. So we were talking about golf and talking about, you know, obviously his coaching experience and all that in Notre Dame, obviously. And then the break, I said, you know,

Lou, I got to tell you something that's had a profound impact on my life. And I told him the story. And he started laughing and he goes, Pete, he goes, I've been coaching football for 40 years. He goes whenever somebody mentions a kid and I have no idea who that is. I said, man, he had a heart of a lion. I wish you hadn't told me that. He goes, well, I can't say they were fast. He goes, because maybe they were a 300 pound lion. And I can't say they were up to leave

a little bit strong because maybe they were the, you know, the field gold holder. He goes, but I could always say hard of a lion. So I said, man, you just, you just crushed me. No, no, no, no, no, no. If you first try, you know, you're not right. Yeah, I mean, I do. And I told that story. And, you know, he was he was one of a kind. And the amount of people yesterday, you know, I unbelievable Notre Dame players. So you talk about, you know, the rocket and Riddick Meyer and Ned Bulkar, Mike Stoneberg, I had a great text exchange with Ned Bulkar yesterday.

The impact he had on these young men at the time who, you know, we're true Notre Dame football players and the love. They still have for him all these years later and the life advice, not the football advice, but the life advice that Luke gave them year after year after year, the connections he made, whether he was, he was a master motivator. He's an unbelievable public speaker.

“But I think the beauty of Luke holds is like you said in those one-on-one moments when he just kind of looked at you and, you know, could just give you the best words of advice and, and it was genuine. He was always genuine.”

Yeah, we lost a good one, man. We did. We lost a great one. And we appreciate you coming on. Telling your stories, your perspective, because obviously you would know better than most, I would say, in this particular time. We just wanted to make sure that the holds family, they'll loo, upper. Yeah. Know that we appreciate him and we will continue to spread his beautiful sports legend for time and time again. He's the man. Now quick, before I let you go, Pete, there are some people live in the Thunderdome, okay? One of them happens to be the Butler AD, okay?

He is the only one dressed in a suit, so you know exactly who he is. He's the one right in the middle, okay? There he is. The athletic director for Butler is here with a group of friends who bought this experience at a charity event. We have about a minute and a half until a heart out. Is there any pieces of advice that you give the Butler Bulldog athletic director or any words that you would tell him as a man who sits in your chair at Notre Dame? I think that when you're in that building, you got to get to that three-point line and start shooting shots and you got to pick up that football, start throwing it around with you.

You know, we go to him, suit and immediately implies, doesn't know athletics doesn't know sports and Pete picks up that football.

“Start spinning. Absolutely, start spinning, start shooting. It was like, okay, suit.”

We will show our respects, sir, and we're thankful that you did that for co-cholts today. But on this series, no, no, my huge fan of Butler and hey, we're all in this together. This is a crazy time in college athletics. But it's a fascinating time. And, you know, we have to do our best to make sure that we're delivering on our promise to student athletes, which is not just a great athletic experience, but an academic experience as well. And that is something that means a lot to Notre Dame and I know it means a lot to the administration and all the leadership of Butler.

And that's the cake. You know, we have to keep doing that. And, you know, these young men and women who come to our schools, our universities.

We owe it to them to make sure that they leave with great degrees and education, because as you know, Pat,

not 20 seconds, Pete. You got 20 seconds. How many people, how many people can do what you didn't go play professionally? And it's that education. So, we're all in it together. And I'm hopeful about the future college sports, because it's one of the great things we have going in this country. You're the man. He wants to home in home. And we would like to talk to you again. Please give us people walk and see you on the other side. Goodbye. [music] Brian Patta, Senior Defense of Lyme and for Miami. Gun down.

us to do this for a living. It's not just me. Obviously, the talks tape was here at Boston Conner and that ties Schmidt. How do you feel about the gathering that's happening out here? Feels like you got good Jews, good energy out of this bunch here. Yeah, absolutely. You mentioned it. You know, how it wasn't expected to have a high ranking official, you know, an athletic director. So, you know, you see exactly. But, you know, my eyes went right to the Iowa Tiger Hawk, you know,

“I don't know if he's from Iowa. I don't know where he's at. So, I believe he played football at Iowa.”

Exactly. Yeah, you can talk about the size of the head. Yeah. Exactly. So, my kind of guy. I appreciate everyone else, you know, coming here and, you know, donating and whatnot, but I want to pick that guy's brain. Yeah, I think you're going to have time. Miss Carrie, obviously, a massive philanthropist here in Indianapolis, and it's to every charity. And we thank you for making this happen. We hope you guys have a good time. You guys been on TV a lot. I think you had good smiles. Yeah. I think it was a smile

for a while. And once again, Peyton Manning, children's hospital had a gala. They're last gala,

I do believe. Final one. I think it was 18 years, but they've raised like 20, 30 million. I

forget what it was for children's hospital here in town. Peyton's an absolute legend in icon. I want to say kind of force me into this kind of kind of said, hey, hey, you got anything, you know, for the charity live auction. And I go, yes, certainly signs something. We'll call for some I do. We got a lot of things. Yeah. Yeah, I do. And that's like the most Peyton thing of all time. He's like somebody says, hey, how about a chance to watch in studio? It's like,

great. Who's handling all this? Well, you just have to do the auctioneering of it. So the first time it happened, that was the case. So I'm trying to like explain what the hell it would be. We don't do this. So like, I don't know if this is really worth whatever you guys are going to pay, but we appreciate it. Okay, and you're doing a good thing. Now this has been multiple years. We've done it with Peyton. We've done it with the codes with kicking the stigma. And this year we changed.

We added a coffee table. Yeah, that's not big move. That was a big move. We put that coffee table right in front of them. See, see. Yeah. He knows. He's that conservative purpose. Yeah. So we tried to upgrade it from last year. And if you see more chairs, that's just Dallas Clark in the middle of it just offered up a double amount. Well, Dallas, you know, seems like he was just up around a microphone free wheel and having time to his life. I'm losing that definitely. Yeah, definitely.

And then auctioneering something and say, yeah, we'll give away 10 of these things. That's not here. But on that note, we are thankful you are here. And thank you for giving to Peyton Manning's children's hospital. They have helped my family as well as many others shot the Peyton, by the way, hope you're great. Got textrooms that hey, Kyle, we're doing it today. Like you're coming. Uh, we got, uh, we got. I'm busy. I stopped. I don't know. One half of the hammer died. Cowboys,

AP, Tony's here. Hilarious shirt. Oh, you mean the big trifecta? Yeah. Okay. So what is that about? You're just casting a war on SEC. Is that what you're doing here? And a big 12. Obviously.

“Yeah. I don't know. Is this bug against windshield or war? Uh, because that's what the big”

tense been going point. I dropped into Ernest who's here as well. He'll be wrapping up this hour with us. Uh, he's in town tonight. I believe he's downtown at the, uh, Egyptian room. The Egyptian

room. Incredible venue. He'll obviously make it a great time, can play anything, can sing anything.

I was face time with him earlier. He was around a bunch of Southerns. Yeah. A bunch of Southerns. They get it. There was a goat dogs in the corner over here. Sure. A couple, you know, maybe a roadtad somewhere in the back. Okay. And I just immediately, I, I didn't even, I think I met him maybe one time. I said sorry boys. Yeah. I don't want to be this guy. Yeah. They're, they're writing. I think I just completely went in there. Oh, you had to. I just had a

let him know that North has all the money. Mm-hmm. And if we, we don't figure out college football, which I believe there is a council or a meeting happening at the White House, which obviously, I don't know if it's still happening because of everything else that's going on in the world, speaking of, uh, Tom Brady super duper flag football game. Yeah. As being moved to America. Okay. Probably more. Yeah. Happy to hear about that with everybody that was going in there for the

“good-a-ball. But for college football, I believe like they are trying to get for go for it right now.”

But the big trifecta is potentially just to be good at is how the big North thinks in the entirety is that not accurate, Tom? Yeah. Um, I mean, when you look at the upcoming season, there's a good chance that they do it again. Obviously, there's a lot of a good other teams, but there's a heavy chance, the big ten, they do it again. Next, I even said, ah, it's in advantage. Yeah. I don't care what you say. You think anybody wants to move

from forward to Columbus, Ohio? You're going to have to pay them. Mm-hmm. And it's like, they do. Yeah. What they're doing? That's exactly what they're doing. All they have to do is go to one along, or maybe somebody that's just from the area that started a company and say,

alright, this is the guy we can get, how much is it? Six million. Come on, let me call it friends.

Hey, three million for me, three million for me. We get this. Okay, let's do it. Cool. And the North has like a bevy of those. Now, obviously, whenever Ellison family decides they're going to help out Michigan, because Rich is the richest one. So one of those pair amount in Lennie, you know, they actually are in Oracle. Whenever they're just like, oh, yeah, actually, I like Michigan because I married it, you know, they're, they're giving them that's problematic.

But without just the super mega billionaires that you don't really know about, a lot of CEOs, a lot of CMOs, a lot of CFOs, all coming from the North business schools. So they all have at least a couple hundred thousand that they would love to be able to get special access on game day whenever they bring their friends. So the week of potential year, who we're getting at the end? Well, you and CMO bought and the CMO bought are all going to give 150,000 and then we're getting yeah,

die of florea with it. Okay. So we're not what do I get? Park in spot. No, no, no, no, park spot's just for the big, you will certainly be able to walk into the stadium. Yeah, get some tickets. And we're going to win. Okay. You got it. We're doing that. That's a state of college football right now. There's a, there in college sports is a whole, I think. So they're having a meeting on that. Hopefully that does get kind of figured out because if that's what it's

going to be, it's going to get real ugly and more division, I think. Yeah. You know, because right now, it seems like Sanky and Petiti, big 10 and SEC kind of separated already, right? Don't you feel like that's how we talk about it. And if you have one that is just continuing, it feels like it's only going to be more division. We don't need that. We need to figure out how we can all kind of benefit from it and players can benefit from it all. Joining us now is a man who is raising money at this

exact moment in all times of his day for the Ohio State Park guys getting a good player. He's called football national champion, Super Bowl champion, Ryder Cup winner Andy has a tree on the Ohio State campus. Ladies and gentlemen, hey, Jay. Hey, thanks for coming out on sea to raise money for another tight end. I do appreciate you doing that for the Buckeye's AJ. I tell you what you did kind of explain what college football is right now. That's the deal, especially if you're like

“those top what five to ten teams have a chance to win it all. That's what it is, but is it sustainable?”

I guess that's the question. I honestly don't know. I genuinely have no idea if it's sustainable for the teams that aren't winning. For the teams that do have a litany of people that can give you

a couple hundred thousand or a million just because of what it is and you can tell me I think those

schools are saying it. What do we do? There's no problems. There's a flight. There's a flight. There's a flight. What do we do? I don't know. You guys were just doing it when nobody was

argument in this entire thing. If that's what you believe was actually happening at every school

“and what degree was that happening versus what is available now. But I think they're meeting”

for my understanding. And yeah here it is. On three is reporting. You know on three, man, they're so big. They just said they do so much. They're so big, dude. So big. On three new president, Donald Trump is hosting a round table on issues facing college sports, Ross Dellinger is reporting that invites include Nick Sabin, Tiger Woods, Tim Teebo, Cody Campbell and more. Okay, so the thing that I like about the list, Cody Campbell has a lot of detractors in the big ten. Big ten representatives also

going to be on that list. So it does feel like they are getting a collection of ideas and opinions on how this is can go or should go. Tim Teebo being in there. How did you see him? Yeah, he's bringing it right now. Thank you for representing football dude. Thank you Tim for doing that. I think they do have a good group. Now without getting anything accomplished feels like it's a group of people that

get things accomplished. Yeah. Now granted, well, they rely upon people that never get anything

accomplished to get things accomplished. That is the worry. I think for all of us, AJ Look. Yeah, I guess so I love seeing Teebo there. I mean, when you got Nick Sabin going on, he's not going to sit there and meet, he's not going to go to a meeting to talk about the next meeting. Like we know Nick Sabin doesn't want to waste anybody's time. You don't want to waste his time. So I would think I would hope that if anybody can get something done, I guess it would

“be a group like that. Well, in Cody Campbell, I think, dog. I think we can say, is he the greatest”

ex-player businessman of all time? It's a buzz in Steve Young, right in like a, it was probably, it's been a didn't show, but it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's his name. It's, yeah. Okay, he's put up a million bucks, two million bucks for the dunk contest. He didn't make it to pros. I don't think I mean, we'd have to recheck his resume. He looked pretty good. Not in that game. He just played a couple of weeks ago. He needs to be in that forever. He needs to be in that game forever. Just letting people know what it is.

I think he might be the greatest ex-professional athlete business man of all time. I don't know, Jack might have. MJ. Oh, Michael Jordan. Yeah. I mean, right now, no offense, Michael Jordan, though. I don't think he's guiding and running the business, right? He is the business, but I don't know if he's running the business. I saw, I thought I saw Steve Young, his, whatever venture capital fund is worth a few billion though, too. Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess, but no, he's one of you.

So Jordan, Steve, Cody, never gets talked about Cody Campbell because he's in the old business,

but there's a lot of people in the old business. This is somehow Cody Campbell. It's found his way to the top of the old business. It's like that should be celebrated. But when he's in that room, he's coming from a player's perspective, but he also has good business mind. So that is, that is what we're talking. Saben has a great business mind. Yeah. He's coming from, it's those are the people that we need in that room. It feels like they have collected them. Hopefully, they figure it out.

Speaking of figuring things out, did the Buffalo Bills figure it all out this this morning? Whenever they trade for DJ Moore, Chicago Bears get a second and a sixth if my recollection is accurate for DJ Moore being sent a second and a fifth for DJ Moore, who's being sent to the Buffalo Beals. AJ, your thoughts on what the Buffalo Bill said with this trade and how do you feel

about being all this bingo on his big sports Thursday? Yeah, I mean, we never know who went,

you can't really say who wins and trade when it actually happens like the day up, but I feel like the Buffalo Beals. They look pretty damn good right now. You get DJ Moore what you want you want to give it a second and a fifth, is that correct? No, hold on. So it's just a second for DJ Moore and a fifth. Yeah, I just said in Sheffty's tweeted says Buffalo gets DJ Moore and a fifth. I think we can take the R off the board. So the bill's got a fifth round pick and DJ Moore.

This was like a real bingo. Yeah, what's going on? What's going on? Yeah, why? Why are they? We're only very aggressive. Why is it about the conversation? Yeah, I really know. Saw Scarter was too one. Well, that was that for the organization.

“Opposite of this prize worth thinking of, too. But I think the only thing people are saying,”

the reasoning is the contract. The bill's will take all the money and I think that is the only reason. But then they're talking about just re-exactly. The negotiation is actually freeing up, caps me somehow in a whole move. I think Bino is probably taking a little bit of a victory lap up there in Buffalo. And Josh Allen gets like a one-type receiver. Now, wasn't in Chicago a perfect fit, I guess, in the Ben Johnson offense. You know, he and Caleb, I guess, never really got

going, what are to what they were expecting or hoping. Now, they sent him out the Buffalo. He gets played with Josh Allen best part in the world. Yeah, that's he's going to be the man. He's going to be the man in Buffalo. That's the thing. Like, yeah, I think for DJs should be very exciting. Obviously, the bears are a rebat team. They're much better than they have been the last few years. But yeah, for DJ, more to go to Buffalo, I think this is an awesome opportunity for he and Josh

Allen. Yeah, good for Josh Allen, good for the Buffalo bills. And once again, I believe in Ben Johnson. So if Ben Johnson says, you got to do what you got to do, do what you got to do. They move on from DJ Moore this morning. Now, deck press got chatted a little bit about George Pickins getting the franchise tag and said, don't change your love for football. Don't get in the business mind to this. Here's the issue that happens.

And it happened to me. So I'm going to touch that. I don't know if Dak is talking about George Pickins,

about there's things being said about you and what you're worth, that could potentially

piss you off because the people that are saying it are the people that you're going on the field and potentially getting hurt and showcasing the world your talents for. So that's a difficult thing. Like for me, whenever I was about to hit free agency, there's some things being said. And I wanted to know, right, because I enjoy the bit. There's things being said. It's like pond stars.

“That's the only way I can really describe it. And you are the item on table. You got Rick St.”

There's a couple of dentists saying a little bit of a lot of ability who knows what the market is for. It's going to be sitting on a shelf who knows. Here comes my expert friend that's coming and it also works for me. Oh, it's saying worth shit. You're here and that you are the actual World War II gun that's sitting out there being talked about that moment. And you can certainly take that personal. And I like the fact that Dak is like just don't listen George. We can't have it.

Just at the end of the day, we're going to get you your money. Hopefully you're going to be a cowboy. Just don't get pissed off at everybody because the organization is saying things. And I appreciate that. That's good leadership, I think AJ. Yeah, I think it's good leadership, but also like being pissed off as a hell of a motivator. So you just don't let it overtake your life. Don't let it allow it to get a little chip on your shoulder, I guess, and play the underdog role and say, hey,

they don't, they don't value me like they should, but you can still be a great teammate and still kind of keep that chip on your shoulder, I think. But yeah, if you start being, if you're the guy that's pissed off every single day walking at the facility thinking that you deserve more, they're that they're

“ripping you off that's, that's a tough teammate to be around. I think that's what Dak is trying to just”

let everybody in that team. Yeah, and also you're not going to play your best because you're not body. I mean, it's just the business side can tear relationships completely apart. I mean, because that's other than Madden, right? Madden's the only other time where a number is placed right next to you. And like this is your actual rating, this is your actual, I guess, profile book. So these things, though, whenever they are projected publicly, that is an actual ranking system that is taking place in

everybody's eyes. So whenever you get offered something that you think you're better than a player, but it's less than said player, it's like, oh, you don't think I'm better than ba. You don't think I'm better than ba. The whole world thinks now that I'm shit because of this. It's like, these things can get ugly strictly because your friends, your family, the world, and also you're in your mind,

you're saying, I just gave you everything. And you think this guy that has never been on this team

or done anything in his building is worth this. And I'm worth this. It's like, it gets ugly, brother.

“It gets really ugly sometimes. I think that's a good piece of advice from Dak, especially for G.P.”

Who we know, unbelievable football player. But also runs on a motion. Yeah. He runs on a motion. We need those emotions positive because when we see that, it's awesome. Yeah. As opposed to negative, because when we see that in Pittsburgh, it's not as awesome. So I like the fact that Dak's doing a little bit of that ahead of time. Yeah, and Dak is one that can speak on. He put on the franchise tag, had the cramp, and then had to come all the way back the year after when he got paid by Jerry

Jones. So he could even kind of add that into it as well. One of the highlights in there was again, Saul's Gardener on the jets, completely forgot that happened. But if there was a player, you would assume that Dak could kind of use his quarterback, QB1, Sensei type. It would be to George Payton's, like, hey, you're going to get paid if you play well. It is proven through me. There it is, kind of a sweet play. It is proven through what I went through. He's on like a glove. Yeah,

you're still on him. Yeah. It's a good cover. That's a good cover. That's a good cover. Yeah. Okay. Really good. Come on, Saul's. They're saying a lot of stuff, Saul's. It's talking out of Pearson's basement. He did say that. Okay, let's lock down everything. Yeah. Yeah, let's do it for, you know, it's win some games. Saul's are saying a lot of stuff. I like Saul's. I'm happy Saul's was here. And if we can stay healthy next year, coach, we're in Super Bowl. Those scored back.

Oh, no. Maybe Kyler. He coming around. Oh, I joined us now, ladies and gentlemen as a man, who has been an insider, a pendant. He's an Emmy award winning morning show host now. You see him all over the ESPN front of the program, ladies and gentlemen. Peter Schreger. How you doing, Schreggs? Doing good. Going back to an earlier conversation about the X athlete/successful businessman. Does the name Junior Bridgeman mean anything to you? Junior

Bridgeman was a sixth man for the bucks in the 80s. Retired. How does number retired from the

Milwaukee bucks made over 400 or four billion dollars with Wendy's and Chili's franchises all over

the country. Junior Bridgeman passed away last year, but one of the great stories of second chapters to a career in that sports don't have to define you for the rest of your life. Rest in peace, Junior. Hell yeah. I do remember seeing that story because I thought about getting into franchising dairy queens because there wasn't a dairy queen closer close to my house and when I grew up in Plum there was a dairy queen and when I was in West Virginia

there was a dairy queen and then I get out here to Indianapolis there's no dairy queens. Rogers Rogers was talking about some teamo dairy queen yesterday on the show with you guys.

The meadows I think is what he called it. I've never been to that one. We had Elis.

Elis was cyclones. Yeah that cyclones which is obviously far superior to the blizzard but on that note the blizzard forced superior to everything else that's available in a very regular bite. This is the meadows you see everybody gathering outside. Look at the hills. It's beautiful that. It's far still there's training campus here. In stronic we go up there and there and nobody knows him. They say he's a farmer walking around. He feels pretty disrespected by that but yeah.

“I believe ice cream is a massive piece of a lot. So I'm a Scott in the franchising business with”

dairy queens. Then I'm a Scott in the franchising with Marco's pizza because I needed to deal with them where I was going to maybe franchise a couple of marcos. Pizza because one was going to go under so I was going to pick up that franchise and maybe another. Everybody there was trying to get me into it. Show me this. Look at this. They showed me Junior's story. You could, yeah. It's like I'm going to need how many of these things? Who's running them? Big 15 hundred. I'm running them. Who's

keeping an eye? I am. Who has this? So the amount of hustle that that guy had to do for that business. Makes me think, yeah sports. Certainly like that. And shout out to Junior and thank you for reminding us about him. Let's go back to an earlier conversation that we had that I assume you have

an incredible thought on. You told the story about how make vase people in tree. We're not happy

about what Ben Johnson was doing during the playoff stare when he kind of snobbed them and talked shit to him publicly and then in the locker room and then posted again. What are your thoughts on the Ben Johnson trade of DJ Moore to Bina getting a bingo here this morning with number one wide receiver with Josh Allen. How do you think this comes to be? And you think they were going to move on from DJ regardless because of how everything's going. Yeah, there was no secret that his

name was bubbling up at the combine. Didn't know where the destination would be ends up being Buffalo. I would say that DJ Moore was a great Chicago bear and he was only there for a little bit but only miss seven games had that big walk off touchdown against the packers and of course everyone

“looks at the miscommunication or the last play of that Rams game and says well that's how it ended”

that's unfortunate but they move on from him and with Drew Dalman yesterday surprising us with a retirement news suddenly they have a bunch of cap space. So two thoughts for me. One they could be in the game for a max cross be if that was to come to be. Two they could be in the game for another big free agent pass rusher and then three Roma doons say it's time to step up and be that guy. I mean we know that they obviously have other offensive weapons and we liked what we saw from

Loveland at the end of the season but now Roma doons maybe comes really the guy that you have to focus on and say okay if this you know bears offense is going to keep it going a doons they need to make that giant leap in your three. Okay so you said you heard DJ Moore's name bubbling at the combine first year that I've done the combine bubbling. You know this is the first time that I've done it all. What are the big stories coming out of the combine? Any deals already done

any players that you didn't think we'd get chatted about chatting about like what was your big

“take away from Indianapolis as you left the NFL spring break here in our beautiful city?”

Then I think there's going to be quite a quarterback carousel ride next week and I think it could be really interesting. The first domino feels like it's Daniel Jones but we're not so sure a team won't match that or erase that contract with the transition tag forcing the culture to make a really tough decision. We'll see if anyone does that but Kyler is a name to watch Malik Willis is fascinating to me how much is Malik Willis going to make what do you value a player who doesn't

have all that experience? He has shown great potential in the rare chances that he's had to play in NFL games the last couple years. Then you go down that list of that next tier and you're talking about guys like Kirk Cousins. What's he got left and how much can he still make? Joe Flacco is

going to be a for agent. What's he going to garner? Tua? What's he going to make? So I always look at

it as like there's 44 or 45 spots for quarterbacks that are going to make real money in this league yet your 32 starters and you got those that top line of backups before you get to those rookies and second year guys who's going where what seats are being filled when and as we sit here a week from free agency or four days really from the start of the legal tampering period Pat I can tell you I don't know where Kyler is going. I don't know what's going to happen with the future of Tua

Tonga Violo. I don't know if the jets are going to hang on to Justin Fields. I don't know if Rogers yesterday coming on was a sign of yes I am coming back to Pittsburgh or actually I'm going to need more time. So there is still this great unknown which makes it really interesting and why we should be watching it new next Monday. Okay so let's talk about the free agency frenzy that you'll be joining us. Kyler seemingly the bell of the ball on this entire thing and is the are the

Minnesota Vikings the different destination for him because as I've continued to piece this together obviously not it altitude because I've been in Indiana. Right sure. But I've had a lot of deep thoughts about this and I've been in some rabbit holes of Kyler Murray highlights not low lights. Is there a chance that Kyler Murray and Kevin O'Connor are about to do what Sam Donald did? What Baker Mayfield did? What all these guys who get second opportunities have chances to do?

And is that what you were hearing at the combat? Because I think that's what Connor was thinking and

that way especially with what Kyler is good at versus what Kevin O'Connor needs at quarterback.

“It feels like that's potential match made in heaven. Is that how everybody feels straight or”

well knowing the news was on on on the precipice I pitched to the get up producers on Tuesday. Can I do a top five most exciting Kyler Murray plays on the show and granted there's been a lot of low lights for Kyler of the last couple years due to his health. But there may be a guy who's got you know there might not be another guy in the NFL who's had more exciting moments than Kyler Murray in his brief NFL career. That is what is tantalizing. The fact that he's

28 years old the fact that he's a former first overall pick and the fact that his price tag pat will

legitimately be $1.3 million on your books. The Cardinals are going to eat all of that $36 million.

That's going to be the one. That's not going to the facility. No, no, that's going to Kyler Murray. Let's go to Kyler and they decided instead of in this two-year commitment with Kyler. Let's rip the band-aid off. Let's let Michael Floor start a new and Monty Austin Ford didn't draft him. Let's just start from scratch. Fine. But when you're talking about a guy with all that talent and all that exciting ability and all of those real game experiences, both in college and

the pros and you can get him at 1.3 million, which is about the same cost as a fourth or fifth round pick in the draft. That is what makes him so appealing. Personally, if I'm Kyler, I'm not looking at price tag because it's all an offset anyway. I am looking at best situation. And yes, the situation in Minnesota makes a ton of sense. You go there. You compete for the number one job with J. J. McCarthy. You get the totalage from not only Kevin O'Connell, but from Josh McCown and

from West Phillips and from those offensive coaches, which is basically an incubator for quarterback play.

And then you come out the other end and you're either a, the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings making a big, you know, free agent deal next year or b, you're back at the door and you're able to sign a big deal somewhere else. So to me, Minnesota makes a ton of sense. And for a guy like Kyler, it makes more sense for me to go to a Minnesota and even say, I'm not the definite number one, then go to a jets or go to Miami. It's go to Minnesota, learn for a year, get that graduate degree

in quarterback play and then go on and see what happens in your career. I had, I went through, I talked to someone. I was like, let's go through all the quarterbacks who have done this. And there's a bunch who have in Mac Jones is currently doing it with Kyle Shanahan right now, where you say, I'm going to go learn and I'm going to go figure it out and I'll be the big guy next year. The one who who did it early on in his career was in the COVID year when James actually,

when Tampa moved on from, from, from, from James, they went with Tom Brady. James had options. James chose to take a very small number to go to New Orleans and learn from jubries, our John Payton, Pete Carmichael, and be the backup there who'd eventually get on the field and he would make plenty and more money in his career. But James was early on to raise his hand to be like, all right, I'm going to take less money, put me in a quarterbacks room where I can be better for the

long term. If Kyle or has that in him as a number one overall pick with the pride who ego those guys have to say, you know what? Just put me in there, let me get back in the room, let me get back

“in the lab and let me restart this thing. I think he and Minnesota would make a ton of sense.”

Yeah, I'd be pumped to watch him have a second start at this entire thing. And James,

I believe to your point, I think you said, I want to like quarterback Harvard or something down here. We said that's why I made decision. We would also go on to learn that he couldn't see. Yeah, the got that fixed too. Yeah, he actually couldn't see. He didn't know who was on his team, especially if it was more in 10 yards down the field, it all kind of just he saw bodies. So the fact that he had as much success he did for his team and the opposing team is truly a wonder.

Yeah, I still don't know how he did it. But shout out to him going into New Orleans, he's still in the NFL. Yeah. The only NFL still, and it was beloved in New York this year, but everywhere, but loved everywhere by James. Yeah, I almost caused the brawl also against that land to when they were supposed to need the clock out in the hand of the ball off through. I believe who was a Jamal Williams. That's what we're talking about. Yeah, Arthur Smith and Dennis Allen almost threw

“down. That was great. Good memory. Great moment. Yeah, I do remember that was beautiful. And we thought”

it was good for the boys too. Yeah. And James actually said that just felt like we had to do it and know doubter. James, if you feel something go for it, AJ has a question for you, Straits. Straits, what about this whole tray Henderson saga? That's been going on for a while. Where do you see him going? Also came Jordan Cleo, Matt there, both veteran edge rushers on the market. Now, this tray sign first. Where do you think he goes? I think tray is going to be a highly coveted

defensive end in this Mark. Hey, we're happy for Tray. We're happy for Tray. It's been years. I felt like he's, you know, and being an NFL player is a great honor and being on these past two years. It felt like this was a lot of strife for a guy who is, as you guys know, going on your show and who has treated everyone in the media wonderfully over the last several years of his career going back to New Orleans. That this felt like this was the way it should end. And yet the

just let him walk. Let him have a new career. Let him try to be out of that situation. So he's a pure free agent. And I think Dallas does make a lot of sense. I know he's on the other side of 30. And that's not necessarily what everyone wants to hear. But they have the 12th and the 20th pick where they can get younger and they're looking to add assets. So Tray Hendrickson will have a

market. And I'm hoping that that first day, when I'm with you guys at the Thunderdome, we're announcing

at 1205 p.m. The Tray Hendrickson assigned a major deal somewhere. We hope for him that he gets some sort of generational wealth. Because he took small deal, small deal, small deal. We'll get your next year's small deal. We'll get your next year's small deal. I don't want to do this. He said well, I kind of have to do this. He came on the show and was like, I guess this is what I have to do. I hate that this is what I have to do. But I'm not happy. I would like a better deal. This has

“been happening behind closed doors. But now I guess this is what you have to do these days to get”

that space. He was so hating what he was being forced to kind of do to get a deal done. And because of that, my wife was a nurse and I met her at the hospital. Like, she's a Cincinnati girl. Like, I want it to be good. I desperately want this to be working. It's just not. He like assembled the local media and like apologized. Yeah, once a practice is where golf stops. Yeah, it was going to talk to the media. I appreciate you guys. I appreciate you say these bombs just won't

pay. And then the owner comes out and goes at some point. These athletes need to understand. You sign the deal. And it's like, Wow, is that a shot directly at $300? No, no, no, it was a shot train. Trey was like, feels like a shop. Okay. I guess I'll still might go back. You were so mad at him. Boy, how nice he was being, this entire, this entire, this has been like the better part of three years now in the making. A lot of good prime time of his career has been sent in

purgatory, basically, with Cincinnati. Now, hopefully, he gets a chance to really up until the

day, because Mike Brown is 92 years old. He still goes to practice every single day. Still has thoughts, still, and still not, it does not have to us media. Like, so at any, there could have been a, you know, at three o'clock in the franchise tag, if it's something to come across, that chef was reporting that Trey Hendrickson was being franchiseed, I wouldn't have blinked because that's how

“that, that's how that organization operates. You don't know. So they did let him walk and I think”

both sides would be better for it. Cameron Jordan also will not be in New Orleans saying he's been there for 15 years. That seems like a massive announcement, especially for the city of New Orleans and everything he's done for the community. He'll obviously now go ring chase if I had to guess. As a lot of guys, we'll do in the free agency process. Good luck to him. Thanks for his service. The ball is on TV a lot. Can't wait to see where he ends up next. Speaking of guys that get the

quarterback Don that are being talked about a lot, Tony has a question for you about a happening on the internet right now. Yeah. Do strikes Lane Johnson, right tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles stud, tweeted to Max Prosbee, the ice. The couple, oh, what's going on to the Max Prosbee? Is this a recruiting tool? Does Lane know something and what do you know in the latest with the Max Crosbee news? Max Crosbee is one of the topics that are going to be coming up every

day up until now until the end of free agency. Here's the deal with Max Crosbee. Obviously, right now, the Raiders are telling anybody who listens. It's going to take a huge bounty of picks and a treasure trove to even talk to them. They haven't gotten that yet. I always say, and this comes from several years of doing this that I've received deadline spur action. But as we get closer to the start of free agency, sometimes the high demands they loosen up the reins on that. He is a

beloved Raider. He is a guy that is always the first one in the building. He is always the one who

is the vibes guy and the voice of the locker room. He is like, what you want to build a team around. The question is, is he happy? And if we can get, I don't know, to first round picks for Max Crosbee, is it worth moving off of Max Crosbee and saying, this is a total reset. Let's build around Mendoza and let's get new guys in there. But what makes it interesting is, obviously he has a social media presence. He's got his own podcast. He went on with Caleb Williams was talking to him and was just

gushing over Caleb and then it's this whole deal of, okay? Well, he also has now been through

“and I think sheftalated out pretty well. But six NFL head coaches, five NFL GMs. I think 12 different”

quarterbacks have taken snaps and games that Max Crosbee has played in. Whereas Miles Garrett last year kind of sucked it up and said, all right, I'll just sign, I'll get the money and we'll take it and we'll keep him going. The brown still won what four or five games does Max Crosbee want to just continue to do this to rest of his career. Does he really want out? And if he does, he hasn't told John Spytec that the directly had a lot of time with Spytec at the comic. They love Max Crosbee,

but everyone's got a price and if Crosbee wants to raise the tenor of his unhappiness or if he even has, even isn't happy. Well, then that would certainly spur things. But right now, he is a

rater and I'll tell you what, we got a 2035 first round pick here in Indianapolis. We like it. And a 2036 one, maybe 2037 one. She at 2040. Oh, I can give that up too. Because we need it for Max Crosbee. We can't be the only team that's thinking that Connor has a question for you. Yeah, straight. Obviously,

“you have to trade from Max Crosbee, AJ Brown, Jonathan Grinard, these are kind of trade candidates.”

And then when you look at those guys and free agents aside from the quarterbacks that are out there available right now, who do you kind of think or who are you hearing is kind of the most sought after guy, Linda Baum is up there on a lot of free agent boards, but who are you hearing? Everybody kind of is in on and would like to try at least have a shot at them. Linda Baum's going to be a name. Obviously, they didn't put the fifth year, you know, they didn't

sign up with the extension for his fifth year, which now makes him appear free agent. The guy that Adam Shefter mentioned earlier that's really interesting to me is Jalen Phillips, who had a really strong start to his career with the dolphins and had multiple years of injury, then last year was traded to the Eagles and was outstanding. And suddenly you look at a guy who's a former first round pick, can rush the passer, and he's going to get a big number. A long day tailor is another

name that's going to get big numbers from the Saints, a cornerback. Those aren't even guys,

they're necessarily on this list. So it's guys like that that you're like, whoa, and I'll never

forget when two names. One Sammy Watkins got his first big deal in free agency and everyone was like, whoa, Kansas City paid him what? And then the other one was when Christian Kirk got his big money from the Jaguar as a couple of years ago. It's that type of player sometimes that wows you and suddenly has a market and they can just raise that's that's where Jalen Phillips and Elante Taylor are right now.

“Those are two guys who I think are going to demand a huge pay, a huge pay raise from what they've”

been currently making, and people are going to be shocked when those guys get those numbers. I'm excited to see money get spent because that salary cap up into the right. I mean, big they're taking huge jumps. 301 and that's only getting, I think it was a $20 million jump this year or something like that. Yeah, $100 and $1 million and we can thank our media partners for that. Thank you. Thank you. A lot of people at the top of this media partners with big brains.

Then you go a lot of people just say, this partner as companies are trying to ruin it all, but we appreciate them putting money into all of it. Take it away. Yeah, yeah, I've got to have talking. There's a lot of really good people. That was just an easy shot for me to take at middle management in a lot of different places and I'm certainly going to take that shot anytime that I have it. But on that note, media and the NFL's relationship is wonderful. I mean, it is beautiful.

You talk about other leagues trying to figure out what it is and we're nowhere near done.

“There's still looking to renegotiate. Did you see that? Oh yeah. Yeah,”

NFL would like to revisit some of these deals. I'm bringing down my pool and there's nothing anybody could do about it. And then there's like a Wednesday afternoon football game that could potentially happen out of nowhere. Super duper special, super small, super bull on a Wednesday afternoon that, I don't know, Apple wants to have or something like that. And it's like, how much is that worth

150 billion? Deal. Okay, six. So that money goes in. It's like that is all still very possible.

Let alone each internet. Each one of these companies are the different philosophy, right? So like Netflix wants to do these events. So they look at Christmas day as an event. They look at maybe opening day as an event. Fox CBS. They want the full slate, obviously, of all those one o'clock and four o'clock games. ESPN's thrilled to have the obvious Monday night game. And then Amazon has got the Thursday night game. And now you have YouTube coming in and YouTube

basically said, all right, we'll take a game on a Wednesday or a Friday of week one. And then we'll take whatever else scraps you got and we'll pay for it. Suddenly, we're used to be CBS, NBC, and Fox used to just have to fight against each other. Now you've got six, seven, eight different partners. And to his credit, Hans Schroeder, who's running the media side of the NFL right now is listening. And that mere listening makes this such a feeder frenzy and an auction for these games.

My fear is that, you know, I watch the NBA religiously. I sometimes don't know where my favorite team is. I just saw that the Yankees announced they have 21 games on Amazon this year. I don't necessarily know if I'll know which 21 games. Like, you don't want to dilute the project or kind of spread it out so thin where you don't know where your favorite team is on any given day. Yeah, that team USA, I was on MLB TV yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. And then for the PBA,

I was on Bol TV. Yeah. Mike Flanagan called it. How do you up the energy? I'll tell you just, I'm thankful they came through Indy. Like, I legitimately, and this is, I was not going to dump you about this. And I guess it's pretty narcissistic to think like this. But if something sporty comes through Indy, I do kind of feel obligated to be like, hey, thanks for coming through. Like, we genuinely appreciate you coming through here. And then the PBA, I've seen clips of this

my whole life. Kind of spent some time as a child and a bowling alley kind of get the culture

and the demo of the bowling world and how it works. But I've never seen how it actually operates.

So they were sending a bunch of messages, you know, trying to get us to comment everything like that. We didn't respond to any of them. We just kind of showed up on her own, didn't want anybody to

Me and Gumpie got like a good 17 to 20 minutes with nobody really knowing we were there. So actually got to see, because everybody's obviously facing one direction. Everybody is falling over here. So everybody's watching an EJ tackett who is out of Indiana. It's on his way being a great small time folks. Yeah. You've seen the stories earlier of the who do you think you are? I am and then obviously with the sack and all the stuff more.

The two handy wonder from down under and everything like that. This guy from Indiana, he's going to be the greatest of all time. He's in his early 30s. He's about to do something

has never been accomplished before, which has become a four-time baller of the year for the PBA.

Also, allegedly, this guy scratch golfer could potentially be professional golfer as well as just spend his entire time knocking down pins. It's not just knocking down pintracks. I got chance to talk to A Johnson Johnson, A.J. Johnson. I got chance to have a good conversation with him. He's also a baller. He's fresh out of a peanut allergy reaction almost killed him. He's here. Five days, five days. This guy had a swollen throat and a swollen face and my funny. Mike Flanagan,

a bull TV told me he had that looking his eye last week and then the peanut got him and this guy ended up in the hospital. So he missed last week's tournament. They're in the middle of a ten-week run right now. This is a major the U.S. Open. And A.J. Johnson was telling me about how the lanes, you know, I always go because I've been around the bowling community, but not actually, you know,

a great bowler. I just know a couple of like key words to drop old patterns. You say old patterns,

everybody knows you know what the fuck you're talking about. You're in the end. I don't really know what old patterns are there. I'm just saying it. You know, this is like, if Kia Stamos, me and me goes, I'm just saying it. I've no idea what I'm saying. It's just like, hey, I know this is

“what I'm supposed to say at this time to get me through this particular interaction here. Okay?”

Old patterns. Seeing time we talk bowling and I go right in to hand and wonder, everything I got, I unloaded as immediately as possible. So A.J. Johnson started breaking down the game. This is, hey, there's a lot of shit going on on these lanes. So the old patterns, I was told by A.J. Great descriptor. By the way, I think you follow his program understands who we are, is a former football guy who bowls. He said these lanes are like golf courses, like holes.

So the old patterns are like golf holes. You know how golf will put a sand trap where a lot of people hit it too. So then they're predicting where you're going to go. A lot of water potentially, like especially the hardest courses, like from 285 to 320, there's a river or whatever it's going through. They're clearly saying like, if you can mash it over this thing cool, but you go throw it, you got to hit this before. You got to lay up for this entire thing is what the course is telling you.

I guess these oil patterns are doing the same damn thing. They're like saucing up the part where it normally would break and then there's some over here and then like beforehand. And then the ball is if it's a matted ball, get you see it. There's a shiny ball and then there's a matted ball. The matted ball, I guess, is like a freight train goes moves the oil. So not even a moving batches of oil and then they get that glossy ball and they just ride that song bitch on top, but it's not

“going to have any movement. So that's the only way of things knocking down the end. I learned so much”

about all the shit that's going on in a basically what they're saying is like, if you roll a 300,

and see there are not difficult oil patterns or you are absolutely mocked. Let me ask you, this is like, we're of a certain age, you know, I have a bowling alley, how will lanes and how will new jersey that I spent so many birthday parties and childhood. What was the bowling alley out there and plumb that you would go to in Pittsburgh? Oh, and lanes. Yeah, it's right above McDonald's. You'd fight there, smoke there, play billions there and try to steal a couple on the lanes for

somebody if they look at arcade games there. Oh, oh yeah, we had a we had the the basic the thingy NBA jam. The good arcade game. The good arcade game was trying to walk through there without picking up cancer from the second hand smuggler. That was the best one. Yeah. Yeah, that was a come frogger. Yeah, yeah, it was their nose. Yeah, they were trying to get them. They bump her pull in the bar area. Oh, bump her pull. Oh, oh, they lanes was shot at Nezbitz lanes. They're still rolling down there.

Shout out Nezbitz lanes right by our high school. That's where people were down in the park. What? Can we go draft maybe? Ten Nezbitz lanes? I'd love that. All right. Yeah, I assume just because we just sat right there, we will potentially hear from the people that we know that still work there and we would like to let them know. We like to come bolt strikes. Are you a baller? I could bowl more of the social element. I like a little handset and you know, I lived in

Atlanta for a while where you go on a Sunday night in Atlanta, you get all walks and you go to the bowling alley. That's where it's at. Yeah, I have a good time out there. So what are you rolling? You over a hondo? Over a hondo, but not over a two hondo. No, I'm a nice 150 put it in the book. That's

“that. Yeah, I think that's a good bowler. I saw a couple 180 something yesterday at the US Open”

there all qualify. It's qualifying. And I didn't know this, okay? So then I go, is it like high score? How do you guys qualify? I guess they have 200 is par. So if you're under 200 for your, they play

a plus 10. So you're looking at everybody's score. So they're just trying to qualify. And then there's

“how many qualifiers, 24 qualifiers for the weekend tournament? And then they do 24 round robbing,”

they all play against the M till 10 p.m. Saturday. The boys are fucking bowls. Yeah, they have a lot of bowls. That's all we have taken. It was like, they're doing a lot of rolling of these. No fun. Like, nine, they're in there. They're completely capped. And yeah, and then you get to the TV show and see W. And right now, AJ Tech at yesterday was plus 176. Okay, I don't know how to say the old parents well. Yeah, good. And he's from here. It feels like he's going to have to win this next

week. They're an Illinois. Then they're back in Fort Wayne. It's a big mid-west thing 10 weeks. Shout out to both TV, Mike Flanagan. That guy's a character. Mike Flanagan is a heel announcer. Yeah, and get well, AJ Johnson Johnson. Yeah. He's got that Flanagan told me. He had that looking as I last week. And then the peanut. Yeah, peanut. Mike Flanagan said, I told people on the best, you know, on the greatest, to ever do this. If you don't stop down and hop on, I'm a look like

I'm a liar, whatever. And I'm like, you want Flanagan with a lot, Flanagan with a lot. Mike Flanagan loves Bowling. I mean, these guys, they love Bowling. And I would say, anytime I've gone Bowling, which recent, you go and get away, especially here in India, I have a good time. Yeah. It is a good

“time. And you get a strike. Holy shit, you feel a lot. Oh, it's the best thing for out there.”

Thanks on there. Good crowd. I would say 150 people thought pretty good. But they were following a couple different, but they're like standing where you, we're all walking at normally. They're all standing back there. There was a couple benches in the middle ones, or to show case lanes where Bowle TV had a good set up chair. Bowle TV had a good set up going right here. Flanagan was on the call alongside, uh, already I believe from India and there.

So there, there was a couple of there's bleachers. They were packed. They were smaller than and then people standing. And we just kind of snuck in the back of it. And the late, where the rest of the lanes open were like, other randoms Bowling next to them? US Open. Yeah. Could you get on? No. US Open's all over. There's a lot of people trying to qualify, man. There's a lot of people trying to qualify. Seriously. And in major. And once you get to showcase

one, you move to the next room. Shout to PBA. Thank you for coming in. Yeah, PBA. I was, uh, all from Freehold, New Jersey. Bruce Springsteens, our biggest, alumnative, whatever. Parker Bone Jr. was a bowler, a professional bowler. So throughout our

childhood, it was like Parker Bone is from here. And I thought that name was always funny. He was a

legend on the Bowling tour. The Bowling could really roll. Yeah. Yeah. Bowling could really, really roll it. Okay. I'd like to ask you about the reaction, uh, to that Aaron Rodgers conversation.

“'Cause, you know, chef, I said, hey, uh, what was the, what was that? What was your guess?”

I say, well, perfect, perfect transition. Parker Bone. Yeah. Right, right in. Okay. Yeah, you're right. We all worked out this morning. Yeah. Because we want to have sex. Yeah. So we do. Yeah. So we do. That was certainly a big takeaway on the internet. It's like, hey, Aaron's at that stage of life, where he's, you know, trying to put that good. Yeah, trying to put down right now. Okay, and every day. Which we like. He was also

beaming with happiness, which I don't think people are talking about enough. Not only is it talking about trying to make love to his sweet wife on a regular basis, but also you could tell he was clearly happy. The happiest he has been. What is your takeaway from the combat yesterday? And what are you hearing from around the league? Because what I heard, I think he's playing for the Steelers next year. I think that is what's taking place. AJ would know better. AJ is

going to try to swallow every piece of information that he actually has from talking Aaron off air. But what was your takeaway from the call? And what do you think the NFL world

heard at it? Well, I thought the whole AJ dynamic was incredible with the microphone

not working and then him jumping on 30 minutes in and being like, "So are you playing or not?" That was tremendous. The next question was good. The next question I want to from AJ was, "So wait, who is your wife?" And he didn't do that. That was the biggest sister. Break that. We talked about all of this. I mean, what we learn more, I feel like yesterday about it all. But on that note, don't be such a weirdo. Obsessed with his wife as straight.

Kay, you psycho, get off with that. I had no idea that was a thing, even, and I feel bad because I feel like he's living in hell with this situation with drones or that I was just like, oh, I didn't even know he was. Like, I'm not even, my head doesn't go there. But I'm not everybody's saying, "Good man, Tranks. Good man, Tranks." Let's talk about ball, let's talk about ball.

All about ball. Always take away. Will hard. It's good. Sounds like

Will Howard's good. And he liked that quarterback room. And he loved Mason Rudolph. And I just seem like there were such good vibes about the guys. He was listing like third and fourth receivers and talking about Cal Austin and Ben Scoronic. And then his love for Mike McCarthy that it did feel like there was going to be some reveal at the end of the conversation until he told you, if you'd figure getting that, you're not. But I do respect that he has had conversations with not only

Mike McCarthy, but with Omar Khan. And it feels like, you know, for all his, I need to wait and it does seem like, and you asked it well, as it Steelers are nobody. Like, you asked it really well. And I didn't want to go there. But it does feel like there's one more year and one more year in

glistening and was in the best shape that I've seen him in years and smiling and beaming in a great

mental place. Like, I would roll it right at back one more year. Why not? They wait to play off

“slash year. And if things had gone differently against Houston, who knows? So to me, I think the team”

is interested. I think Mike McCarthy's interested. And I think Rodgers is interested. But I have learned in this job, especially with that player, do not put words and Aaron Rodgers' mouth and I will not do that. That was a strike right there, by the way. I saw some people saying he's washed, he's washed, he's like, you didn't watch. Nope. Yeah, you didn't watch him. And he is wanting you to say that so that he can find even more to say, oh, is that right, huh? I can't throw a football anymore.

Aaron's entire thing is like, what am I on my deathbed? I'll be able to spin it. Like, this is nautical 70 yards. Yeah, exactly. It was 69 yards. I think it was, as you find yourself, when he's referencing like, and then Big Darnell, I'm like, I know it's Darnell Washington, but like, did you find yourself like wondering, like, do we need a depth chart to reference? Do you

reference every single player on the offense? And you're like, first name basis. Oh, I was like,

all right, I don't know if everyone at home knows all the ride receivers or all the runnybikes, but he went through it all. And he loved all those guys. And that to me tells me a lot.

“Terrible teammate, though, remember that never never forget it. And Ben Scronic did come out and say,”

though, I've been wearing wired headphones. And photos. He did. Yeah, receipts. Now, I'd be lying if I didn't, if I didn't go online and maybe look into the wired headphones thing, if Rogers is so helpent on it, I'm like, maybe I'm doing the wrong thing with these air pods. Oh, yes, you got to do only one. You got TJ Watt to change. Yeah, you're not the only one. I think there's a lot of people doing that. Now on that, no, these air pods are incredibly nice. Yeah, yeah, they're these things

are really work. I did one of these. I did one. I go, hey, why don't you, hey, does it? It's, you

get one answer, kind of here, but you're all sound of the word. I don't know. I don't know,

but I tell you what, it's probably not good for me. I guess is what somebody with a bigger brain than I have is. Tell them, what did they say in Pittsburgh about the call yesterday? I guess I mean, insurers aren't going to love everything in any, anyways. No. Okay, that's certainly not going to be the case. I guess so, there's so much affection for them. Yeah, he did show them a lot of love and city a lot of love. Yeah. It was very thankful to be a part of it. But all the insurers wanted to

know was one thing. It seemed like not all of them, but it seemed like a majority of the insurers actually wanted to know one thing and they didn't get that answer, but I don't know why they necessarily expected it. And he mentioned the distillers that haven't really put anything in front of

“them yet either. He doesn't even know what it would look like if he was to get back it. I think”

there was a lot of air. Yeah, they were happy about how we talked about the city and the team and will and those things. But no, there was a lot of, oh, great. He's holding this hostage again. This season, this, this offseason, because a lot of people wanted him to make a decision before for agency started. I don't know if that's going to affect how the sealers approach for agency are not, but a lot of the sealers fans were upset thinking he's holding him hostage and now we're

not going to have an answer and how we're going to go about the draft and free agency if we don't know who our quarterback is. The buzz the best. Yo. It's a big story out of free agency frenzy. Will be what you think whenever we're done with Monday? I think Kyler, I think what Kyler does whether he spurs to JJ McCarthy. I think the AJ Brown thing is worth watching. I think the Max Crossbeat thing is obviously going to be top of mind. Do you have a board over here? Right here?

A board. Do you have like a board? Do you have everything written on over there? No, I just have all my notes in my phone or I've got everything. It all has it all built. You know there's people that have full dry erase boards all around. Rhapsody has very diligent notes all around his camera named whenever he's asked something. His brain has to calculate if it's on the right side of the screen or left side of the screen and how close is it and then he has all the information right there.

I thought you had to say him. I didn't know if we were missing out on something that we should maybe be doing. You know, it feels like we could. Everyone's got their own methodology and process. Ian has his, Adam has his. Mine is let's just talk over text and I have it on the note. We'll see what happens from there. Chef did does that too. He screenshot those and sends them out on that note. I've gotten a text from Florio and it was all capital letters. I like it to be

known. It was capital letters. So you're like, no, he said. He said, uh, kind of pie's on period. Two spaces. FCC chairman, Brendan Carr says I should get equal time period. Good line. Great line. So we'll probably hear from pie's on there. I'm excited to hear his angle on it all shrinks. We can't wait to see you out here. Thank you for traveling to Andy next week for the good of ball and let's crush this thing. I cannot wait guys. I will have my

wired headphones with me. We will have a blast. Okay. All right. We'll see you. Yeah. I think we're going to be making that decision for you. Yeah. We'll be here, buddy. You're the best ladies and gentlemen. Peter Schreger. Yeah. It's a struggle. Before we get to the break, we have to introduce a friend of the program, a man who is one of the most successful song makers of our generation. When it's all said and done, this guy will be talked about as a musical genius because of what

he's been able to put together in all genres of music, currently touring around the country,

Libsky McCademy, the ever handsome and thin fighting looking, Ernest. Back to our band. Hey. I've been reading on it with my jacket. Yeah. This jacket was left here last time. Now you can't take it. It's been here. Who's so? Yeah. This is part of this entire thing. It's part of this entire thing. 100 years. What's up, dude? What's up? Good. You are so bro. You are so bro. What am I? Hey. What's up? Especially this time.

He's got combat boots on too. He's ready. Yeah. Yeah. I got these in guitar. Okay. You want an

incredible trip over there. Yeah. I don't know if they knew what was about to happen. If they

told you that. No. But obviously, incredible contribution back to the people that are absolute badasses of our society doing a thing. It was awesome. Did you learn anything? Did it inspire any music? Whatever you're over there? How does that whole process work for you? I haven't written any songs necessarily about it yet, but I would say that my personal patriotism went through the roof, being over there, just like seeing the guys and girls, absolutely

ready for shit to pop off. You know, not necessarily knowing it would right now, but they are very well prepared. They're bad ass. Were you playing? Would you play for every single night? Yeah. Every night it was like Jeff Ross and me and I brought my boy Cody loading with me. And Jeff Ross would like volunteers would come up and he'd roast them.

Oh, so he's just cooking folks. How did you get you? Yeah. I mean, he would do like a

“little like he told everybody, you know, earns here. He quit smoking weed to pee here. That's how”

bad he wanted to pee here. He had one guy up there. He was like, look, this guy looks like he's from the front lines of a pizza hut. They loved it. It was good. It was kind. It was lovely. He's a great guy. He's the one to ask me to come out and do it. He's a super genius. He has found his niche and thank God. There's an avenue for it. So we get a chance to learn about him. He walked by or said it radio row. Yeah. Mike front out there and he looks into we go Jeff Ross, geez, you're the best

he goes, what is this? An ugly lives matter convention. And then he's walked away. Exactly. It was unbelievable. Exactly. Yeah, we're big fans. I don't know if I would sign up to be overseas with him for a week. I don't know if I mentally could handle that. I think he would just absolutely break me in half. But it sounds like he's a gentleman in class. He just like you. I heard this is in town in Indianapolis. He's going to sit around for our digital program. We will continue tomorrow on

ESPN is the ever changing world of sport continues to make our lives much much better. We're so incredibly thankful that we get to do this for a living. Shout out to the people that donated money to watch us show live. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Definitely not worth whatever you paid. But thank you for doing it. We're back tomorrow. Be in front of everyone. Some nice and my change of life. Goodbye. Okay. Now we're still alive. We're still alive.

Okay. Guys, they're great out there. You guys really got out there. Well, you guys are so good. Okay. So you're an Indianapolis right now. What's the tour that we're on right now? I'm alive from the South Tour. Yeah, we're here tonight in Indianapolis. Got the fellas out. It's Cody with us tonight. Yeah, Cody Loatins opened him for me. One of my

“developer boys. Is he going to sing Black Betty? He's going to have to. Yeah, that's how this guy”

came to be. It's an earnest found him. Yeah. I believe Barstall posted a video of one of his friends ponding him in stomach. Yes. And he's saying Black Betty. I like this guy. He's got pretty good little shop. I got to change medium. He's fantastic. So he's on the road with you. The bellboys. I love what you're doing for the crew. I like that you're building up your own record your own label. Yes. But I also like the fact that you're getting a chance to shine here on these

on this tour. How has the life on the South Tour been? And what have you learned about yourself maybe in your music on the road? Yeah, dude. It's been a blast. You know, I've gotten to open for everybody and play a bunch of cool shows and big stadiums and stuff with Morgan and Jelly and whatnot. But getting to go out there and play for an hour and 45 minutes if I want to do whatever I want to have control of the stage and like pace a set versus like how how much energy can we bring in

30 minutes is my favorite part of it. Okay. So let's talk about you being the on-stage talent versus the hit maker for everybody that we know basically at this stage of it. How do you bounce that? Is this normal for the music world? Because what Chris Stapleton is that his name, the guy who

“make gear? Yep. So whenever he burst onto the scene, I think it was Tennessee whiskey with Justin”

Timmer like maybe at the Grammys where I think the modern moment happened. Yeah, that's where we

were introduced to him. And they're like, well, he was a writer. He was a writer. They never thought

he'd be able to make it even though his voice is that. And you as producer while also being an artist, how do you balance that? And what is life like for you in that role? It's busy. But I like my time is very intentional with it. I have writers out on the road right now. We're writing songs for whoever else all day before I play a show at night. But like I would say over the course of years like how we developed and came up like with Morgan and me and Charlie and Hardy,

fun outlet for me because I like making all different types of stuff. So you know, if I make something

that's in this world one day, I have an outlet for an artist I could send it to or getting the room with a wide variety of artists and be able to kind of be a familiar. Do country music fans love you because of the amount of love you have for a country music and how you're from Nashville

“and you showcase country music and your style of music is like the most country. I think I hope so.”

Exactly, but also bro country obviously you've made bangers that have brought a lot of people into country music. But obviously that is a huge combo about the genre of country music. I feel you're pretty I assume you're probably pretty torn about it all because how much you love actually like the rhyme and the kid rhyme and which is like country music. Shout out to the rhyme and I think there's going to be a story about on world baseball classic about the rhyme and on Friday's game

against Brazil with Logan Webb, I think. So that's going to all come about. But how is that kind of

world of country music changing and you being like a traditional country guy, but also having the ability to make absolute bops, absolute bangers in the country. I'm I'm glad that I exist in this timeline because you know the industry will allow a wide variety of things to fit with under the country music genre and the more people that are coming to country music and the more it spreads. I see that as like an opportunity as a disciple of like traditional country music it's just more eyes on this too. There's nothing

wrong with loving this I make this but like while you're here let me show you and like I treat it almost like getting to be a history teacher of country music you know. I can write songs that exist in today's landscape but I also want to like put you on some rural haggard and George Jones and Keith

“Whitley and Ronnie Milseff and like there's layers to it you should go find. Yeah I'm right around”

in his Cadillac in Nashville hilarious this thing old school throwbacks. 75 cooped toville on the thing. Yeah I said bingo exactly what it is and we're rolling through music. Music rope. Music rope they want to get that wrong obviously. We're rolling through music rope and he's from there you know I believe family pretty yeah so he's just pointing at different houses. Oh that's from Whalen can wrote this that's where I fucking held the this team like 80s. There's so much history I'm

music girl. So my it was awesome to learn so you talk about being a history teacher it was like I got a chance to be a pupil of yours one time and I think I in my respect for everything down there grew so we appreciate the hell out of you and that was a fun time. That was a fun time we did a tour of the rhyme and together. Yes we did that was under that stage. Yeah and Grando Opera obviously now is a place but it once it was just a show and that show was hosted at the

rhyme and and right now the Grando Opera if you watch any of it actually has a circle that most singer stand on that's wood from the rhymein because it's an edge to what it is to the rhymeins like with a I believe it's called the church. Yeah the mother church of country music. Yeah and it felt like you're in there too and we're sure yeah. That place is awesome and you killed it in there. Thank you. Thanks for being there. Yeah. We went on a bird just to see the boy. I love that too. I

give you names your kid rhymein and then I learned the history of the place and your play and I'm like feels like this is a big night. Yeah. And our in this life I'm certainly going to show face. I wasn't the only one there. Everybody was there. I don't want to just start rattle enough names but like it was sick. 13 number ones were a lot of different people. There's a lot of people here. Yeah. And as we appreciate the hell out of you. So tonight Indianapolis going to be fantastic. That's

right. It was the Egyptian room at what is it? Old National. Yep. Old National Center. Yeah. First on plan. It's cool place. How long you play for? At least 90 minutes. What old do you play? I play a lot of songs. I play some songs off of my life in the South record.

Love. Rose. It's Saturday. It's Thursday night tonight but I sing it Saturday night and I always say

I know it's a Thursday night. We're going to party like it's Saturday night. I'm aware. Okay. Big pot. Big pot. Big pot. Very well. Yeah. But we've been doing courtesy of the red-white and blue. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Who's your daddy? We do back to back. I'm like Toby Keith is one of my North stars as a country artist and songwriter and just fuck it. You know? And so we go who's your daddy and courtesy of the red-white and blue? Remember who's your daddy? Who's your daddy? Tonight.

Oh, do. Good call. Yeah. Right there. You heard your first. Yeah. It's your daddy. Yeah. Who's your daddy? You can even give up. Who? Who? Who? Sure. You can give one of those. Okay. Yeah. They'll give it. They'll give one. Right back. You could come out and sing it. All right. There you go. Connor has a question for you. Yeah. Obviously Nashville guy Nashville football show kind of turned into a football city of Vanderbilt over this college football season. Thank God. Yeah. Kind of awesome because

“the tight and stink. But that's what I wanted to say. Yeah. That's what I wanted to say. Yeah. That's what”

that's. Yeah. Hey. Two-tone season, baby. Let's go. Two-tone blue. Gonna have a year. Oh, we gotta stay in a local. Yeah. I mean, please God. Can we have a year? But Vanderbilt. Let's stay on that. I grew up going to Vanderbilt games. Whether we were winning or losing, mostly losing. The last time we had a good season like that, I believe game day came. It was like 2009 or 10.

and no at home against Ole Miss. And I was there for game day. And I don't think we'd like one

since that game. And 10 in this year. It was like, yeah, dude, every like golden black, everywhere. It's cool to be a vandy fan. Yeah. It was fun. A great game day set to go. Yeah. And it was very obvious. Yeah. Like the city's just coming out. The city's just coming out for the team. Didn't have a lot of like super old traditions. You know, this kind of happened at Indiana last year too. So before we go live at game day down in Indiana, because my whole shit is like,

let's showcase what this place is. And there wasn't a lot of like there wasn't a lot of football shit. There was obviously the who who who who was. But there isn't like a stadium like the stadium. Can't is normally like a football thing. So if your team is not like that good of a football team, you know, you're probably not going to have it. I felt like that day for game day at Indiana, those fans created their own traditions. It felt like it created the the experience. And they've probably been doing that beforehand. But then now that is carried on. The great state of and then the whole place says, Indiana, they ran it in the entirety. I'm not saying I came up with that.

But it seemed like it created. It got created at that particular time in really showcase. Yeah. Vandy was kind of doing the same thing. It felt like they're trying to figure out what they are as a football team, what they are as a football fan base. In the entire city of Nashville showed up on that note, which I think what Connor was going to say, it is a football city. Yeah. It'd be cool for the Titans. Yes. It would be great. It'd be super cool. And we love the GM and that. Like we believe in

Borgonzian. I think it's going to be a great fit. I feel like he's going to love Nashville. Yeah. Can't more chat out can. He's awesome. He's unbelievably talented. We talk to him a lot. I saw him make some turns against coats over outrageous. But let's talk about like rapes, leaves. You've told me privately. And I would like you to say publicly, just because it puts

“over rapes pretty good. The city was like, that's our that's what the team is based in that house.”

That was our guy was our guy. He's like, and it was easy for me to root for him this year too. Like I was going for the pets and the Super Bowl for sure for variable. But I don't know. I just hope it would be nice to have a winning season. Like let's go. Let's go 500. Two years from now. Be great. It likes it. Let's go 500. I'm just a real estate dog.

How good it would feel to win six games? Yeah. We can't experience it. This year with the Colts. Yeah, shut up. We're eight. Yeah. Yeah. You know how good it felt?

Oh, it was so amazing. I'm saying he was positive. You're right. You're 100% right call.

Dylan is the same way every Titan's true Titans van every year. We wake up on January or whenever whenever the end of the season is, we're winning the Super Bowl next year for sure. And it's like two, three, four games in. We're like, we still got a chance in five, six six games in your next year. And I feel like that's what we're going to do. He's got a real jelly roll. Potentially playing for the team, too. Now with how much he's in jelly rolls. That's not jelly roll anymore. There's a couple of minutes.

And what if Jason de Ford? Yes. Well, I saw a transformation from kid to Bob too. Oh, yes. Yeah. That's just a matter of one trip. He comes back. That's a whole different guy.

“Well, that's where I've heard him speak for him before. But I do wonder, like, was did we see kid rocks last?”

No, I hope not. No. No. No. Because I was, I was worried that. No. I just think he's on more this summer here. Kid rocker Bob. It said kid. Thank God. I thought we lost kid. And that video of him in RFK is one of the greatest pieces of content I've ever seen in my life. Dude, it's like out of a fever dream. Yeah. It's like a rexquando commercial, but it's kid rock in RFK. Perfect. Can we talk about this a little bit from the music standpoint in the music world?

Their thoughts on it. Because I feel like music people, creative people, their brains are different, you know, then everybody else hard to necessarily just say like, wow, that person do that. It's like, well, why they create this for all of society to have as well. The bad bunny kid rock thing that started getting built. How did the music road responded that? Did you feel obligated to put on for kid because he's going to play some country music or

where you pumped up for bad bunny getting an opportunity to do this Super Bowl again, which is like the biggest gig on Earth. How did the music industry kind of view that? I don't know. I mean, I feel like everybody watched the game and then kind of fucked off

“there in half time either way. Yeah. That's what I really feel like.”

Yeah, if you're watching game like people do just, it's on and like that's when you like you go out and smoke. Yeah, you know. They try to make it a big deal and I don't think it was actually in it treated as a big deal. No. I don't think anybody, even bad thought the bad bunny half time show was better than I expected. Just like the production was crazy. Yeah, cool vibe. Made me miss the islands. Yeah, you do a lot of that. I love that stuff. I love the islands.

It's amazing because your skin would be one. Oh, the island hate me. Yeah, I love the islands.

You play a lot of that type of music. You know, I felt like you went back to a little local zone. I went back to a little local zone in the era. Got string country. You play a lot of that tonight? Yeah. I got I think I plan. I play a couple off of locals only and then I play a couple of new ones off this next. Laura Laura Laura Laura. I'm bleable. Can't remember. And we're either through Laura Lies because I think it's an actual thing that it just. Yeah, it's crazy. There's a there's a beach bar called the Laura Lies in Island Marata.

No, he's got dogs. Go dogs. Redakings. Ben Hazel. Shut up. Jacob Durett. Shout out. Anyways, um, yeah, but uh, sitting at the Laura Lies. And I'm like, what is the story of Laura Lies? I knew it was a mermaid, but it's an ancient siren. She would call sailors off into the into the night and they would kill it. Yeah, they died. Yeah. And I was like, there's this, there's a love story here. The like there. So Laura Lies, Laura Lies.

I still hear your whisper in the dead of the night. You always wrecking my world and I don't know why I keep my sales to the wind.

For you, Laura Lies. And I was like, let's go back and write that song. Excuse me, finish his beer. That's smart idea. So we did. Yeah. And uh, loser similar situation, right? I mean, you're at the loser's bar in the national. I mean, we're story here somewhere. We've been, yeah, losers with with jelly and post. We've always wanted to have a loser. So I was like, all of us. I felt myself in this bar was like an ode to losers, but without saying it. But yeah, we like,

“we just need a song named losers. And that's, and by God, that's what we got. Yeah, he certainly did.”

Shoutout loser, Steve Ford. What was the first big song you were a part of? Um, and did you think you were going to be able to make bangers? And then did you know you're going to make bangers after you made one?

Or was there always like a blind belief that you make bangers? I thought I was making bangers for years before

anybody else thought I was making bangers. You know, like it took me, it took, I signed my first publisher down 2013 and didn't have my first number one until 2020, but I didn't really get my first cut until 28. So like five years of swinging like this is dope. And it was either ahead of its time or just sucked, you know. And then finally it clicked. My first one was, uh, I love my country with Florida, Georgia line. Uh, in the Georgia line. It's so many, but the best. Hey, it seems like they're hopefully

high saw pictures of that. Oh, Paul, we can be happy about and should be, is that they're getting along and it's all smiles and good times. Congrats, boys. Thank you. Thank you for what you did for our lives. That's right. Hey, God. And you got to do what you got to do. If you hate somebody, you hate it, that's right. Believe me. We all understand, but it's great to see you guys back to guess it is. It is great to see them back together. Yeah, and maybe we get a couple more. Yeah.

Yeah, that's what we're talking about. That's how my body felt when I saw photo them fucking walking together. Yeah, you could hit about and you brained parties. Oh, oh, my God. That's better. Yeah, dirt. Oh, my God. Don't forget about dirt. Yeah. They were a hit making machine.

“Now, I believe the story of them, another hit making machine was a part, a potentially, right?”

And they're a, I think big loud has a pretty big part of the entire floated Georgia line. Yeah, it's where it all started. Big loud records. Craig Wiesman, Joey Moe, Seth England. At the time, Chief was there, too. Joey actually goes back to like, nickel back. He came up with nickel back and produced them. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. He did. So, started there and then he came to Nashville in like 2009 or 10 and started working on a

couple things about that time stuff who you've had on dog shots. Yeah, met the guys, met floated Georgia line and started just kind of managing them immediately. And Craig started big loud shirt publishing. So, Seth was like, interning for Craig, found these two guys. Let's write songs. You're going to go play college towns and kill the shit. And then it, then they had crews like a year into that and the rest is history. And then it was Morgan, Chris lion, Jacob, and myself,

hearty, Larry Fleet. There's so many now. I don't want to leave anybody up. Shout out, big loud. Big loud. That's what we're saying. Seth, we know Seth. Yeah. What? You sat in on make a single, you ball shot. So, my shoulder. I got a shoulder issue. I got a shoulder issue. I want to make one. You have, though, you've been here before and maybe you're, I know, you're, I don't want to do it again. Yeah, I was, I just want to prove it one in seconds. You were five to baseball player at Lipscomb.

You got drafts from what the fifth round, fifth round. Yeah, I should have gone hard. No, I played. I played one year at Fried Hardman in college and then dropped out and started doing this. Not this. This is new. But doing, you could do this if you were.

Yes, you actually played baseball. And I think they never even met Morgan, right?

Yeah. Me and Morgan played against each other. Our junior and senior high school. He went to Knoxville Gibbs. I went to David Lipscomb. Now it's Lipscomb Academy. Must things. Must things. Oh, things up. Things up. You guys created the spray that killed COVID. That's right. Shout out to you, Dee. Yeah, Trent Elf. Thanks, Trent. Got that staying Vax. Yes, actually a staying Vax spray.

“Yeah, it's a strong spray. Yeah, I think that's what it was. Yeah, but yeah, we played it.”

We played against each other. Junior and senior year. They beat us junior year. Went on to win the title list of the last state championship and then we beat them senior year and went on to win it

Because it's not without quite a self-inflicted wound. And then work, work, work, try to earn everybody like, hey, I'll earn our an hour an hour. And I'll have to. I know. I know. I know. And then all of a sudden it's just like, yeah. Oh, yeah, this guy has one of the greatest voices maybe of all the time. He can't sing. It's like, okay. He can sing it. That is what he, what he grew up singing, right? I mean, he is a true singing talent. I think that people don't

really respect because it's a country genre. But he fucking, you guys, when you guys get together,

obviously, it's always bangers. But everything he puts out seemingly a fucking smash and it's unbelievable

the run that he's on right now. Yeah, it's insane. He's really good at governing himself with like what songs he likes. Like he's, he's really honest. You got to think he's putting out 30, 36 song albums, but they're cutting like 60 songs and then going back from that. So like, and out of that, the Morgan Wallen pitch link is like probably hundreds and hundreds of the best songs and 20, what do you mean? Well, like, if you had a soundcloud link of, if you're a publisher,

you probably got every song in town today was trying to get a Morgan cut and they all get sent in the best ones wound up on his link. So then he picks his favorite. It's, it's how we all work. Okay,

“so that's what the songwriter song creators do is. This, yeah, the relationship and not even”

just talking about Morgan, I think what keeps an artist going, like artists that we think about, they have had great careers, like George straight wasn't writing his songs, but he, A and R, his record. So A and R being artists relations. But like, he picks his songs really well.

Out deans the same way. He's going to always have a career because he picks his songs really well. And he can't

as a good year. Yes. And the separation in going back to your songwriting verse artists, like, I've been able to learn the skill of like picking a song that works for me, whether I wrote it or not, you know, I don't have to prove that I can write songs. I like, if a song, everyone does something I want to sing, I want to sing it. They've built name after you that when I just put out, I didn't write, love that song. Fits the record perfect. Let's do it. Who wrote it, do you know?

Yeah. It was Nathan Chapman and Tony Lane. Incredible song. It's about a high school sweetheart. Think, right there. I think if I listen to the lyrics properly. I don't know if it was a high school sweetheart. It's, yeah, it's the boat named after you. I'm just, oh, yeah. As it could be, maybe out in California, top-down road day or drive, or back there in your hometown, having kids and doing fine. Maybe up in Colorado,

keeping warm, so I'm on new. Me, I'm out here on the water on a boat named after you.

Pretty sick. Yeah. Yeah. And I always thought it'd be sick to get a boat and name it after you.

Oh, yeah. Hey, that's that earned. That's a flip on it. That's a little flip. There's people starting to talk about your freestyling ability on the internet. I've been able to witness it personally. I want to let you know. Unbelievable. Truly. It's a great party trick and it's also, it's all it is. It's also a great business trick. Yeah. I've heard stories from people that have been like, yeah,

earned freestyle for 25 minutes last night and in doing so, dropped four hooks and three verses that people are going to use for other songs. I was a part of a freestyle session that you did, where you dropped a hook for a song that I probably were released at some point. And then also one of the verses just in a middle of a freestyle. And then you went over and got on a keyboard, I do believe. And started making the beat to the song. And I was like,

I'm in songland right now. This is, this song is really how this whole thing happened. So I would like to say thank you for allowing me to get to witness how it all comes together. And you're a weapon, bro. You're a fucking weapon dude. You really are. Thank you. And we're lucky that you're drawing our generation, our society. Thank you. It's very kind. No problem. You're looking great, too.

“Thank you. You're a weapon. You know what to deal with?”

I do. I got you. I sent me your guy. Yeah, I'll finish. I got to finish the game. It would be before and after picture being packed. Before and after science, yeah. That's exactly right. Collarious. A three inches four. We'll say four. Yeah. Hey, it can literally happen. I'm looking at a figure right now. Bruce just pulled up from TikTok that says,

give her some mic and he can do anything. I don't know how this is a 10 minute video. See free stuff for 10 minutes here on camera. I mean, he've made songs for people literally while streaming live. It's his, uh, you're a weapon, brother. And I can't wait to watch you tonight. Thank you, sir. Can't wait to have you there. Yeah. No problem. All right. Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy? Who's your baby? Who's your buddy? Who's your friend? Friend. We'll get it.

Fuck. You don't have to do it. I'm sorry. You can have your phone out if you need it.

“Thank God. I don't. I don't want that time we get there. Okay. But who's who's who?”

Oh, we're doing that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm the one that's going to fucking up. No. That's all right. Stop. Yeah. Can I wear that jacket tonight and give it back to you? Yes, you can. I love it being a new chair, but I haven't seen it in two years. Does it still have any thinking the pocket? No. No. No. No. No. We're the

Hey, I left the jacket there. Do you find it? And I'm like, here's it though. You go on his country. That would be it. Yep. That would be it. He. Then nothing was said.

20 30 minutes goodbye. Hey, and that right pocket left a little gift for you. Might want to go ahead and check that out for a rainy day. Exactly. That's exactly what you said. He texted me three days later. He goes, it's raining. It's an accurate assessment. You're the best. Love you. Hold on. We're going to take a break with you. Said that you love to get up and leave right now. Okay. If you're in Indie, go check him out. It's just going to be outrageous. If you're in any town that he's going to be.

“The show's outrageous. He can sing anything. We'll sing anything. And it's going to be a guaranteed good time. That's right. That's the vibes that you bring. I think that's why everybody wants to work with you.”

You do it. I think it's why it's successful as you. And I'm very, very lucky that you have allowed us to be a part of your business and your world. You're the man. Thank you. So I love you. On that note, we're going to take a break. AJ, we're back on the other side. Wrap it up all the sports news. Okay. So you need dive in. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I am. I'm already. I don't know, H. I am. I had a quick question for Ernest. He said he's a big fan of the islands. Which islands are you? You usually freak out. That's good. St. Thomas and St. John. Where are those at? Just so we do know.

What is the U.S. Burden Islands? And you do pass little St. James. No. St. Thomas to St. John. You can see it there on the right. Little St. Aaron. And you just drive by and you just go. And then you get to St. John and have a good time. Okay. I'm happy you did that because you were acknowledging. Yeah. Yeah. Every time. It is where it is, but but but St. Thomas is one of my favorite places on earth. We bought a house there. It's the best beaches ever. St. John's awesome 10-minute boat right away. Go, you know,

go have a coconut rum on the beach. Why not? Yeah, live a little. Live a little. You know, you'll be buff it. Took us to a time of happiness even whenever our bodies were not there present.

“I think your songs do the same for a lot of us. I got it. Thank you. Because it has them so.”

Haven't seen sun in about four or five months. And all right. Your ass is on a fucking boat down there.

And I'm looking for the sirens about the fucking kill all of them. Yeah, I'm trying to get to her first.

Be cool to be done. Save the world. Kill this bitch. Put sunscreen on while listening to your fucking music. I appreciate that. Be a friend, tell a friend something nice of my change of life. We're back on the other side. Take. Five, four, one. Nine, one, one. Where is the emergency? It's the middle of the night in a small town on the Jersey Shore. Someone reports in a band and car on a bridge. A search gets underway for the missing driver.

19-year-old Sarah Stern. Is it a missing person? Is it a suicide? At this point, nobody knows. Old friendships, buried cash, and a sinister plot that was once pitched as a movie plays out in real life. I'm Juju Chang from 2020 and ABC Audio. Listen now to Bridge of Lives wherever you get your podcasts.

Player for a million if they were to box or fight. Now, first of all, I would like to say to Logan Paul,

incredible work in Reno. Yeah. This is phenomenal stuff. And also, Logan Paul,

“incredible WWE superstar. This guy is what WWE needs. So we are fans of Logan Paul as a whole. I think he's under”

valuing offensive line and defensive linemen who do hand-to-hand combat and maybe don't go box and stuff like that. Maybe they don't know a slipper, whatever the case is. What I assume they actually naturally have it with that. Max Crosby is who I'm putting on. Is there? I guess you already show on Doc and said, if we're going to throw hands, we can certainly do that. I think this is a good conversation piece, actually, because Logan is a trained boxer, not saying he's an elite boxer,

but he is a trained boxer. He's been in there, has been punched before, has landed him before. There is quite an advantage to that. Max Crosby trained with Sean Schrickland who was throwing bombs at him. Now, I don't know if Max Crosby's form is in boxing, but I just don't think he quit. Yeah, Sean Schrickland was trying to kill Sean Schrickland trying to take him out. That's just in the off season. He does that. So I think because Max has already been punched numerous times,

and it didn't like scare him. You know, I think that's the, that's like a levy on Bell came out was like, I'll fight you. That's because he's gotten to the point of boxing where he gets punched and doesn't like, you know, flinch, he's still fighting in there. If you know how to counter, that means you know how you're okay getting punched, or you can see it coming and have the move.

finish it. That is the difference between not fighting boxing, being an okay boxer, and then going

“to the next level. And Levy's been in there, numerous times. Yeah, Frank Gore, I think would be okay,”

going in there. We have boxing in the past, but then Logan Paul said, there's a retired guys. We'll be current guys. Give me current guys. Throw trend Williams in there as well. I mean, yeah, trend Williams. One of the big, it's going to have to be a big dude for sure, right, that outweighs him by a lot because Logan is in legit boxer. And I don't know. I guess there's probably some guys that are kind of under the radar been boxing for a while in the NFL that we really

know. I don't guess it don't publicize it, maybe. Logan's cardio too, really good. Yeah. Yeah, wrestler like he has great cardio. We are not saying that Logan is a walk in a park for anybody, which I think a lot of people would like to say, because he's handsome, he's chiseled, he's WWE superstar. And he's letting you know that you are not nowhere near the same caliber of human as he is, so you're naturally going to hate him and want to marry him. He's good heel.

He is a great heel. But I think we would have to send some guys that are, and I think we do have those guys. I think for the good of the NFL we do. But Tom Brady just walked around call him a bitch. Yeah. Yeah. What's that? That's that? That's super. Is that a work? Well, maybe you worked himself into a shoot here and in Grunk on. Grunk did not expect that at all. I look Tom Brady is evolving here and then, you know, who knows if this is a work or if this

“is a shoot. But if it's a work, super junior stuff, which I mean, you should obviously expect”

for stress too. Yeah. I mean, Tom is a greatest of all time. So, you know, I think he can kind of say whatever he wants. But we've also sit, I mean, we saw Tom with his shirt off the other day throwing the football around. You know, he's a better shape now and he ever wasn't his playing career. So,

maybe he has. Yeah. Exactly. We ran a faster 40. Maybe this is Tom's second calling here.

You know, I mean, I understand he's a part owner of the Raiders, who's to say that he won't be boxed in, I don't know, Canelo in six months time. Tom Brady? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we're no good. That's the guy. So, you're thinking Logan Paul is calling for an NFL guy. Tom Brady's like, look, no, further, fella, you found him. Yeah. You think Tom Brady's getting in there? I mean, I think about you're going to be my stepping stone. And after I dispose of you, then I'm going to

then it's game on. Then I'm going to call game on Sunday. Exactly. I'm a owner Raiders. Right. And then it'll be Saturday. I'm fighting. It sees your spouse. Floyd Mayweather. He's got a fight coming up. Hey, Floyd. I've got a lot of fight. Five of them. I think there's been more added. Floyd,

“thank you for the years of entertainment. Good luck out there. Do you have to be like,”

tight? It's clearly a get back. And if it is, good, congratulations on having this get back. Sure. Just in the back pocket. And once again, when he gets in there, I assume he won't be touched. I assume, right not. I assume it'll be the same story. And Floyd will have to remind people,

while also getting an incredible amount of wealth again. And then we hope this round is good. We hope

forever he's good. Yeah. But on that note, people would love to see him get his ass knocked out by some of these people that he is certainly taking later in his career. The latest, maybe we've ever seen. But I love what the sports world is kind of cooking up. World baseball classic continues today. Is that accurate? Yeah. There are a couple more games today. And then really though, it kind of is just, hey, all eyes on tomorrow night. Tomorrow night at 8 p.m. on Fox, USA will get out there.

There's no more. Hey, we're beating the shit out of this team. So they're going to send a minor league or over to, you know, hit for us or pitch for us. Like, these are the boys who, you know, are going to take us to glory for glory, which I believe is their tagline. So yeah, I mean, but again, all these games kind of have something worth watching. I would say because there are multiple guys on every team who are either stars in the MLB or who are, you know, plumbers,

electricians, that kind of stuff. So the Japan police, if I'm reading this right, 5 a.m. on Fox sports one tomorrow morning against, against Taipei. Sure. We just watch Taipei loose Australia because big dog. Yeah, Travis, Buzana. The Zona, Buzana did his thing for Australia. I love that we're off and running, and then yeah, tomorrow night, air clock. One tonight. Now we got eight games tomorrow. Let's go baseball. Is that old school turf they're playing on?

Probably. Let's get down. Let's tuck in and down, dude. That's field turf. Boom. That's big bat Buzan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's learning about the last night. They were hype in him. His ass up. They were hype in his ass up. I'm like, I didn't know Australia did the baseball. And then his ass hits a home run and the game is out. I'm like, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I like that you kind of show up whenever you're in your moment. I think we're

going to see a lot of that. Could you imagine what this would do for Australia baseball as a whole? Yeah. I think that's a, I said this AJ to be, uh, beginning of the show when I talked about it. I was in Australia for seven days. They were all in really good shape. I saw like two fats us. Maybe three. That's it. Like from, I'm talking the entire city. Well, we're looking around.

good shape and you get the hang of it. It certainly doesn't hurt. You can benefit from it. And with it growing in that area, which a pan in Asia obviously starting to really love baseball,

“this could be huge for their sport, which is why like international plate. That's why I like”

international play. And it's a little, I mean, it's a little late and it's not the same thing. But we've seen all of the hunters coming over and going to college in America. Like that's what he did. You know,

he grew up over there and then came and went to Oregon State. Had a bunch of success was the first

overall pick. So sometimes that's all it takes. And obviously, you know, he hasn't played in the big leagues yet. But I didn't get three knocks last night, including a home run. Like that's a pretty damn good start for Australia. Oregon State really good at the baseball. You know, I know that. How's that? Because I said, Oregon is really good at baseball. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. I said, this baseball team here's running things. Maybe champs I buy a call to

who knows. Just kind of end the middle of it. It's pitch black outside this beginning. I just talked to the baseball coach yesterday. I'm trying to recall all the information. I got this team's unbelievable and everything tracked. They're faster than fucking you. We did a better week than you for sure. Baseball, best ever. Just fucking in my head. You know,

“just remember running through things that I experienced while I'm there. I'm my man. I think I”

nailed it. Yeah. There's a little bit. Get to the commercial break. I'm like, man, I see the reaction here.

Holy fuck, the beef's actually. Yeah. Oh, actually. They are actually the baseball team of Oregon. And it's like, well, it comes too far now. Yeah. I can't go back. I do a ball set out for a Mustang. Scott had been cuffed. Who's in the MLB. He played it Oregon. Sweet. Did he really? Yeah. It's not Oregon State. No, Oregon. So you know, I'm telling you. That's why Oregon State needs to go recruit out Paul My school. Exactly. We got a couple

guys get throw 78 79 meatballs. Hey, if you need it, though, any leaders speaking of me and Clayton Tershaw tomorrow. Oh, yes. For read big donations. We're going to watch you go your own on him. How many times? Stop trying to get away. Okay. We will have no spoilers right here. No. Okay. Oh, wait. You did say you were getting one in any, I think a lot of people assumes that's just three of past that could be. We don't know. I could be 12 13. We don't know. You might have put a

crooked number up. We don't know. AJ, and that's the fun part about it. You know that, especially when I watch him go pitch too hot in baseball when he was retired just two weeks ago, getting ready. It's like, okay. So the guy hits Dinger off him. And we go, no, he made a mistake. He knew it. Oh, no, because then that kind of, you know, that's not good for the entire thing. And then he just gets right back into it, walks in. I am still Clayton Tershaw. But from my understanding, he was not really,

he was retired. Yeah. He thought he was getting a call to coach Team USA and D. Rose like,

“now you deserve to be on a team, I think, from your career. You haven't been able to do in the past.”

We'd like you on the team. He's like, all right. And then pitch against Mac, the first day. Kind of, that'll be your thing. All right. I'll get in shape for that, I guess. And then all of a sudden, it's like, you got a couple of winnings. Where's maybe if you're, I mean, he's like, let me try this thing out real quick. So I got the face actual. He was, I think the bullpen session into what we're, I think he was trying to see. I think they were all trying to see. Oh, that was, that was

him getting, like, getting ready. Like, he was going to start a game. Like, for sure, he told us on the show. He was like, you know, that when they asked me here, he was like, I'll throw a thousand

pitches because I'm never doing this again. So like, this is, like, that was like, uh, hey, let's see if

I still got a chance to face like actual. Oh, yeah. It was cool, man. Let's just, yeah, there's a couple of moments I'm sitting in there. And I just look at him and it's like, fucking Clayton Tershaw. Oh, yeah. And then he does a fucking shit. And I'm watching his praying, man, there's up there and I'm like, whoa. Wow. And then I got this catcher, you know, who's definitely not on my side. Andy Pettett, not on my side. Oh, I look up at his guy. Right here. Yeah.

Rossi, yeah. I mean, this guy, well, we work together. Yeah, team USA. They couldn't wait for that 12 to 6 to come. Wait to see the reaction we have in that shit. I mean, we have shots of everything. The boys piece this together in about six minutes with cameras, everywhere with microphones, Fox had to piece it all together. We got some good shit out of that little inning that we had with Clayton Kershaw incredibly honored. And we're going to raise

money. Oh, yeah. Kershaw's cause. Yeah. Kershaw's cause. I looked up. Kershaw's cure. Kershaw's cause. Well, definitely. Yeah, challenge challenge challenge. Yeah. Right around there. Yeah. So we will definitely do that. And he couldn't have been nicer. He was the perfect guy for that. Yeah, family too. Really nice. Yeah, family. Family six, I think. Had a baby. Yep. Yeah. I'm going to give him the way. Mom kind of shit talks to me too. Yes, he did.

In her own way. Yep. Hey, kids, why don't you go on and get air in a shed balls? You think he's hitting balls

Yeah. And then they did send the kids right back. I mean, everybody just acknowledged it. Yeah. Stay out of the sun. Stay out of the sun. It was a fun time. We had a blast. Anything we didn't hit today? Uh, tax implications for Indiana coming out. Uh, for the bears coming to Hammond, Indiana feels like the taxing is going to be done to people that are traveling into town. At least that's where it was kind of directed towards one percent food and beverage

tax. Don't love that. Don't love that at all. Five percent hotel tax increase. You think that be people that are traveling 12 percent admissions tax. Okay. That's for, you know, car traveling plus toll roads and a special taxing district to fund the product project. That taxing district will be the area what it is. So the 1% food and beverage tax feels like it's going to be the one that's going to hit the people of Indiana the most. And then the admissions tax, I assume,

that that is just something that, uh, whenever full air say, oh, tickets. Okay. I didn't know those admissions. Okay. You take it. All right. So, to all events. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Yeah,

on the way to all events in India. At that venue. Okay. That's five percent tax. I'll never be

there. That's old. At that venue. Yeah. Well, maybe in Morgan's probably selling a place out, Taylor was selling a place out. Look at the store. They have a great thing going on. Yeah.

“Yeah. But I think it's far enough away. You could probably do both, especially with the two,”

if the shelter field's gone. That's probably where they have to go. Yeah. Yeah. So I think you could probably do, or they don't keep in social for events venues, city owns it, right? You would assume they'd still want to put on their shows or whatever. They have a park raked on the street from there that has that huge event every single year. Oh, I'll lose. Yeah. They do, they host a lot over there. So Indiana people can certainly weaponize this against, uh, politicians because there is a

raising of the tax, but it feels like it was a targeted tax. Yeah. And I don't like the raising any money at all, but I do like that. We have two NFL teams in Indiana. Yep. That is a fucking incredible. That's a crazy thing for Indiana. If the cold starts thinking, guess where we're going? No. No. No. No. No. Fairdown is so cool. Yeah. It's awesome. Yeah. They changed their name a little bit maybe.

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. They're going as better. You're better as best.

Get a sweet. There's only two and a half hour drive. Each way. I'm sure it's sweet. Easy. It's gonna be helping a state too. They'll probably be cheap. I probably will be cheap. Yeah, I'm sure. Well, it's not the bare stuff. Yeah. It's probably cheap. Brand new stadium. Yeah. Probably. It was canceled. It happens. Yeah. It's not gonna be this year. What? What's the what happened? You think it's gonna happen? You think it's gonna happen?

Oh, you think the bear's gonna let him go? You think Illinois's gonna let him get me?

“Yeah. That's what I mean. I don't know. I just don't see them letting that happen. I would”

imagine this city comes together. They find the way to keep them. I don't know. Our governor was calling their governor a man. So I think that might, that might pull chip on later. Oh, Pritzker showed her over there and he might try to figure something out. I think. I've seen his name and a lot of things. I think he potentially has got a lot on his plate to try to figure out what a new stadium deal could look like that you've been trying to do for like five, ten years or

whatever the case is. Which is what Mike Braun governor of Indiana was saying. He's basically saying they've

had a long time to figure this out. You think they're just gonna like couple weeks. It took us three months to put this together. You think they're just going to be able to piece this together. So quickly as it needs to be for us to get started on this thing because if we break around and get moving, which we can definitely do, uh, this thing's 2029, even though they don't get out so 2032, there's a chance for an even quicker turnaround this whole thing. So to your point,

I don't, I don't even know if I like that it's happening. I don't think I do. I agree. I don't think I like that Illinois is letting this potentially happen. But I do appreciate the fact that Indiana is like, hey, you're an NFL team or the biggest league on earth, you can help our state as opposed to the hurt our state. So we are giving you an option. And it feels like if you talk to the people that are providing the option, they're saying, it's the best one. This shit's gonna happen.

That's, that was my takeaway from Braun coming on show is like he thinks it's happening. And he's in the direct conversation of it all. That was my big surprising takeaway for him. And also he gave me a couple of names on who I need a lobby for the legalization of marijuana in India. So I think it was a win-win out of that whole thing. Yeah, I think it was, I mean, he was very, very optimistic. You are right. I just want to hear what the other side, what Illinois, what they're saying, like what they're

kind of proposal. I would imagine they're doing everything they can to keep them there. Big news, it's just an county, the food and beverage tax. Oh, we don't care all of it. The two, the two counties up there. Lake and Porter counties. So there's some pushback. Because if you're just like a guy going to grab a coffee on your way to work in those counties, you're paying an extra 1%. But it doesn't affect the whole thing. No, we can't notice that. Yeah.

“You should see a price coffee beans today. Exactly. I suppose the next taxes are fine. Just right.”

So off on that. Okay, cool. Go look up there. Yeah, get done. In the end, bro. In the end, bro, you guys do enough for us. The Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers will open the 2026 NFL season in Canton and the Hall of Fame game presented by Novartes. Nice. All right. Take it's going on sale Monday, March 9th at noon.

Caroline is there. I'm happy we're going to be there. Yes. I really like the cut of the gym with entire program down there. Hey, that's a good football team. That's a good football team. Caroline is a good football team. Good football team. They're looking to become a great football team. That's right. That's right. But they are a good football team. And then Arizona, we'll see.

“Yeah. Yeah. See, is Larry playing? Could be. Good. Why not? Good question. Who's a quarterback going to be?”

Good question. They're bringing Josh Rosenback. Why do they pick? Can we go the draft order, please?

They pick third. Is that a tie Simpson? Is that a tie Simpson situation right there at three,

two, sunny styles? We all think, right? Or sunny or our fellow. Yes. A lot of people think. One of the one that's going to go in the back of David Bailey. Aaron Glenn goes diva. So we got a Fernando. We got defense from Ohio State. Is that tie Simpson right there at number three? Or do they package that and move it out if they don't have a quarterback? That would be just from everything you hear very, very high. But if you don't, if you don't, if you don't, if you don't,

uh, for tie. Yes. Thank you. Back and try again. Or is number two quarterback? But he's not from everything you hear. Now, obviously, could change. He's not supposed to go in the top to one. He's not, I think because we made fun of our love ski so much for saying, I watched three games. Okay. So I watched eight games. This guy's better than it's like,

so you didn't watch the most important games at the end of the season against the best teams.

Well, I'm not there yet. It's like, well, that shut up for, wait until you see what Fernando does down the stretch here for the last half of the NFL season they played last year and how he handles himself. He is guy who is earned number one. And if he would have won the LSU, like, I don't know,

“Joe Burro did. Everybody would be talking about how special Fernando is. So that's why we got so mad”

at Dan for talking about that. But tie Simpson pre-injury is there is certainly shit that a team can sell themselves on him being a guy, plus with his leadership abilities. And we know that quarterback position is the thing to matter who. So people are saying, well, if he was going to three, they'd be highly projected. It's like, well, if Arizona cars don't have a quarterback, who's going to be, maybe that's what they take in opportunity to, to go and fill the role right there.

But I assume there's many other pieces that they need, maybe they make a trade as well. But if you don't have a QB, I don't think anything really matters in this game. Yeah, and they've been heavily linked to Malik Willis. So we'll see if they actually decide on pulling that trigger. And it kind of seems like that's where they're at because, you know, like you guys have been saying, like probably not going to be driving tie Simpson at three. I

suppose you could fall in love with him and do that. But they do have so many needs that maybe does make a little more sense to, you know, get Malik Willis and then just get the best player available because you need a lot of those guys. Yeah, and they've done offense a bunch with the alignment Paris Johnston, I want to say. And then they did also with Marvin Harrison Jr. But at three, if it's not sunny styles, like Jeremiah Love, I think is going through your four

to either Arizona or Tennessee. Oh, good. I think it's true. Everybody's talking about him running and jumping agreed. Oh, that stuff in the drills. Catching. He did not have to do any of those drills. Once he ran four, three or whatever, everybody up. Okay. Yeah. Let's check the box. He's outrageous. Then he does all the on-field drills, and it's like, what his hands, how smooth he was, the intensity, the cut, everything he did was just outrageous. How good he was. And yeah, you're right. He might

move into a top three, top four pick. And when it is all said and done, I still think if a team misses out and free, you shouldn't see on a quarterback that they want quarterback, you need a quarterback. Oh, yeah. And if you're up there. But boy, if you just said that's what Schrake said, though, Schrake said all these veteran quarterbacks are going to get a lot of looks next week, not because he probably don't believe it in draft class nearly as much. And that's kind of how

they weigh it all, come see, come saw. As you know, and I know, though, and Connor knows,

if you draft a quarterback in the first round, it doesn't work out. You are fucked. Really?

Yeah. Well, yeah. But he kind of goes, what if it's on or four overall, even more? What if he doesn't work at all? Yeah. That's not good over some moments. That also has to do with the staff as well. The spinning spike. Oh, the tornado spike. And he didn't want to do it again.

“You remember that? Yeah. Yeah. I don't really want one thing to become. I think it's like you got it.”

Dude, this is the thing. What if people who's knee-eyed doing that one time? Maybe he realized, like, you know what? I'm so athletic. I should say it for just playing. There was a time where I was a full-on believer. Remember? Oh, yeah. We are believers. There you go. That was a good run. I still am. Coaching matters, too, because Matt Jones, once again, is going to be the bell of the ball. And we all thought he was really good after his work year, which turns out he was. Dude.

Sick. Was that a shot out of an ice cube? I don't know if it was an ice cube or an actual shot. Oh, is it snowball? There's snowball? I don't know. Like, well, it wasn't. It could have been his fear ice. That was in his drink. Yeah. No, he took a shot out of it though. I think. It's got to be a shot guy. I thought it was a shot guy. I think it's an actual shot guy. And he just destroyed it. Yeah. I'm with it. It's just it. We're on a glass shot now.

hooking glass. No, watch it. It hits the ground. No, it goes to every. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Shattered. Did shit. It might have been ice. Oh, really? Somebody clean that up. You're saying it wouldn't it could have been ice. I could have ice glass. Could you imagine just being a guy that says, you fuck it. I'm going to hook this thing. A glass. That's Mack. And dancing immediately afterwards. George Kittle obviously in the back healing from an Achilles surgery. He says,

“that's Mack. That's what he says in here. Oh, that's him, dude. As he dances. Good job.”

If I love Mack. If he's thrown an actual shot glass there and it's explode in a couple of those guys. Dude, we took away too far. I don't know what he's doing. Now someone's got to clean that. Someone's going to slice their foot open on the fucking glass. If it's ice, it's. That's the reaction. Yeah, I think it's crazy. Well, it's super cool that he's got the ice shot. Yeah, I'm sure everything they do seem really good. Except. Right. Right. Just next to the electrical substation.

Oh, I think they would say what's going to be the two worlds. Yeah. They have a few.

Over here. They did. Not never talking about that. Not this century. Oh, the Patriots from

Raccoon and Super Bowl. I said we were taking shots. I mean, Sam from Cisco for you. Why would it? I guess you're in a good spot. I can't tell it. Hey, Bill's got DJ Moore. We'll see how long you guys last. Oh, yeah, that's right. Who's the best corner in football. Oh, yeah, Christian exhaust. I think we'll be okay. We're back tomorrow. Yeah, I got to feel good for you. Yeah, I think we're on ESPN News more. Oh, nice. Oh, oh, sure. Right. I wouldn't mind that,

actually. That would be a pretty cool little thing. Next week should be fun. Fransy, Fransy, I'm on days going to be crazy, AJ. It's going to be crazy. Did you have chef these writer situated yet? Yeah, honestly. I don't know. He's worried about where's he going to get food. He got to give him a designated bathroom drug. There's a lot of things. I don't know. Maybe we should. I'm going to trust smoke

him out. Try smoke his ass out tape him to a chair. Please do it. I don't know why I shouldn't panic when he sees it happen. Oh, he's chef to what's up. Well, the door behind you, trapped in a room. Yeah. I'll tell you, this has been the best for you to see Fransy

Monday that I've had in some time, finally. Yes, chef. You haven't put a tweet out yet.

I might be wild man. I'll just kind of find myself not really wired. Yeah, that would be

“good TV. I guess he is very stressed. That's what they say. They say he's very, very,”

very stressed at all. Is he more than normal? I mean, he's a little bit more normal because you're kind of throwing him off his normal game coming to another a different place. He doesn't have all this stuff he's used to. He wanted a handler. I mean, there was a lot of things that were being told to me that were needed. I'm like, I might have in some random ESPN person in this underdom. Yeah. It's a good guy. Good guy. I'm bad. I'm sure. How many times he had known us

a coded one to kill me? Just so I know. So I understand who he's who. No, it's a good guy. He's young guy. It's like, all right. He'll be chef for needs. I guess. Okay. Well, treat them super good. Respect. Well, what's he do? Can we just have somebody do that for him? Well, he knows what he has when he has and where he needs to have it at. Okay, chef, did you have a brain or what kind of how is this? I'm, you know, I just worried about my football. That's it.

It's worried about my thing. It's been fun. It's been a fun experience with the chef or thing, because Monday is an insane day. He's flying in here like six a.m. on Sunday because he doesn't want to miss anything on his phone. He's going to be living in this hole here in his little money pit over here. The little new deal hole over here. He said Monday through Wednesday will be the busiest days of

his life this year. And he said, you're anapolis. I've never been there. Yeah. Now, he got me in this new place.

So we're supping up this room for him. So he doesn't have to leave. You know, we are trying to make it as comforting as possible for him, because from our understanding, it is a show in of itself. It's kind of shepter. He'll be in there and then to the right is where Orlovsky and Shregs will be over in Studio B, which is the home of Hammer. Dad. We did not know his studio B until the host of Hammer. Dad called it Studio B just last week. Shout out. Good idea. Shout out to Mystic, the company that

designs our sets at Radio Road. They're coming in and doing a fool for both of these things. So yeah, we're pumped up. We're excited for Monday. Hopefully the NFL will be excited for Monday. Yeah. And they won't blow all their loads on trades. Exactly. We in Monday and me. Well, it's going to be a good friends. Keep the loads in. A couple loads out, but we need to save some. Yes.

Are you friends? Hey, thank you guys. Thank you. Oh, yeah. Miss Carrie on this angle here far right. Miss

“Miss Carrie. Wouldn't awkward experience with them. Definitely. 1,000 percent. You should see”

out his for us. Yeah. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, great. What did you scoot to them up a little bit? Would that help? I think they'd be in every single shot like. Yeah, you're right. You know, it's like I appreciate you being a hero that I'm caring about them and not us and this entire. No.

do I love it when there's people there. I love when there people sit like awkwardly back off the stage.

“Well, I'm just like, how do they know what to do? Can I stand up when I do my hands?”

So, sorry. And then we're trying to tell them like, hey, we can hear you were alive. You know, and then like, hey, there's going to three minute break in between one hour or two. You're going to want to talk to me. Please know that I'm not disrespectful. I got a piss. I'm so

scared. It's been never doing it, but we are thankful that they're here. And it's been a good,

it's been a good class. It's a good group. Yeah. It's been a good group. Yeah. It's been good energy. You got an AD. We got Andy Moore's boys here. Yeah. Andy Moore, local card dealership guy. Also massive contributor to IU, who's your sports and IL. Best deals in town. You want more and more and more of Andy Moore business. Yeah. Certainly what they say. And these lads certainly do have a little bit of that. And then Miss Carrie's got her crew over there.

The Hawkeye, huge head played football legend from Mount Vernon. You've got best around. No, he's got AJ that head will run through your face and you know that. I try to start a comment with him right before we won't live. Hey, where are you from? And they start. We're live, please. I can hear you jump. It's like a dentist. He was tough. It was tough. I tried. I get interested and then it was a wrong time. And in the ADs,

he's been looking to leave for a while. He's going to walk going on. Yeah. But he's kind of often getting to be here, you know, which has been cool. People flock when talk to him earlier. Brother Bulldogs are all in the right path. Yeah. Yeah. Miss Carrie, you're an American dream story. Trucking business. That's right. Trucking business. Think about that AJ. Good trucks. Yeah. Oh, vinship. On time.

Bang. Pow. Boom. Bang. But we need this year. We need it. Here we go. Here we go.

Boom. First Apple logistics. Yep. The back button. That's right. America.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're getting to fuck out of here. If you're in Indiana, Ernest is playing tonight,

“you should go check it out. He will put on a great show. What a vibe. The man. Just as a whole.”

He'll put on a good show. Also, PBA is happening at Woodland Bowl. Yep. Nice. Woodland pin. Woodland pin. Sure. He's walking. God, it doesn't have a little bit of that. Royal pin. Sorry. Woodland. Royal pin. Woodland. We caught local woodland. I believe is what the conversation is. Fish or title is Royal pin. Woodland. They got good arcade. They're laser tag.

Well, what? Love it. Go kart racing. Hold on. Yeah. It's quite the facility. It's quite a real deal. Yeah. I don't do a much put button right now because the sun and rain has been out here a lot, but Royal pin woodland there on East 96th Street. The best ballers in the world will be bowling for a major championship. The U.S. Open. But most of them aren't even supposed to really have hopes and dreams of winning it

because E.J. Pack. It's rolling the rock. And when he's doing that, he's taking home the trophy. A.J. Johnson. Yeah. I'll say going to here. Yeah. He had a little bit of a neck. Okay. One of those. Four bucks. He nuts. Dottom though. Yeah. Great. Not this week. Not. No. Yeah. We don't know. Last week he had a look on his eye. I said Mike. Mm hmm. You know what I'm saying? Just chanting in something and just starting. Wasn't it? And then

almost that. Yeah. That peanut thing is very, very scary. I don't know how that that happens to a human. Like, I don't know how that was allowed. I guess shellfish too, right?

Don't, don't, don't, don't want to get you. No, never begs. Some people have got to feed too

early and eggs or anything. Yeah. Give it to him right away. Or microdose yourself because you want

“to be at the Holy Torti events edition. That's what you're doing though. That's what you're doing.”

When he's a baby, you're giving him peanut butter, give him stuff. You microdose him as a little baby and see if that can handle it. But I remember being very scared to give peanut butter because no shit. What if. Yeah. We'll do it. Yeah. The doctors are also doing a lot. When they test them for all allergies, they'll give more chunk of peanut butter. Travel. I love that Ohio is still doing it. Mm hmm. Always. The different elephants are nice. My change of life or anything together.

Thank you guys. Team all me. Team all three. We'll see you tomorrow with a feel good Friday. One, two, three, three, three. Good bye. But what I wanted to tell you, my great-grandfather's student, the master by tag-leptopychis soft-behind the internet. So master's really great. I'm saying, you can say that you're a kid. Yeah, you're a master. But you don't believe it.
