We got a chance to celebrate some greats getting immortalized forever at the NFL Hall of Fame or the professional football Hall of Fame in Kent, Ohio Obviously, there was some jokes told into a microphone by a Kicker from South Dakota who found his way to be the all-time leading scorer in the NFL's history in a game that keeps You know score having the most amount of points in its history.

I mean it was it was a cool thing to be there And the fact that Dravasi vineyards by the way got to give them a shout out. They have a wonderful thing going on over there Beautiful. Yeah, great setup feels like a good business plan too. Hey, let's just have the nicest things maybe in Ohio Oh, yeah, oh, there's every year of it these villas they have these massive villas delighting the situation It's on a vineyard we walk in you drive in there's a restaurant. There's a plaza. There's a park in there Then there's all these villas and then it's just all set up soup the nuts basically by everybody the Ursa family did a phenomenal job Oh, yeah, the Panthers did an incredible job. I heard the Arizona Cardinals and the Saints obviously won crazy And then there was a wedding reception happening on property as well. That's awesome. Yeah, they went the longest though I'll let you know I was within a year's short of that and they want the absolutely Great display. It was fun celebrating the greats the toxic tables here at Boston Conor and at Ty Schmitt one of the hammer Cowboys AP tone is here and anytime, you know, you do have the whole fame game. It is Hey, we're back. Oh, yeah, especially once the best hall of fame game. Maybe that's ever happened ratings back Seven million viewers average insane Seven million. So we're gonna in your immediate mind you think of aFC championship NFC championship Super Bowl numbers You go seven million. That seems low for the NFL. It's like I don't know what this is in comparison to all the other Hall of Fame games Most watched since 2017. I don't know what was happening in 2017 or 2016 But the fact that seven million average watch people who these Carson Beck love them. Sure Absolutely love him Love what can he pick it was able to do beans king was able to do but all these guys No, we have no idea. This could have been a UFL game, you know, this could be a UFL game You pull Carson back in there and they're getting seven million and I think that's strictly because not only how much we love ball Not only how much we love the history and the importance of the whole of fame and how we honor the greats But it is because it does feel like football is all the way back and on that note the Hall of Fame game provided some electricity There's highlights coming from every single training camp. We should get camping a little bit. You're we Okay, let's go camping. Let's go to Cleveland, Ohio You know, there's quarterback battle broon, you know last week there was a stat coming out of at ESPN Cleveland to Sean Watson had seven touchdowns zero interceptions in one practice crazy everybody said wow, how's that happening? Well, it was red zone But still he was Sassin with the rock. Well, it's got him and Casey conception out of Texas A&M rookie returner Great body control and a snag. Hi, give me that in the Guardian cap as is such. I assume for everybody He's electrifying what he did in college was not only as a water receiver Elusive fast you name it as a returner. He's electrifying. I'm excited to see Todd Monk and take advantage And if Dishon Watson's getting comfortable with him early look Maybe the Cleveland Browns have a young stud for offensive rookie of the year D-bud. He definitely will be a sleeper for that If he can consistently catch the ball. He has juice if he can consistently catch the ball for his Cleveland Browns offense He can definitely be a weapon in your one. Well, maybe he's not offensive rookie because if you see what's going on down in Nashville Cornel Tate Josh, Josh, snag, toe drag. How you doing? Cornel Tate? Welcome to the NFL even though we're only in practice. It is not just one catch. It's like every single time we're seeing something Come out of the Tennessee Titan social media team with an 8K camera. Hey snag by Cornel Tate You see the buck eyes fans saying well, everybody surprised that he's catching everything This is literally what he did in Ohio State This Ohio State wide receiver factory. They got cook and might have found the next Terry McClure in here Not as hyped as everybody else, but still unbelievable. That could be Cornel Tate's trajectory quickly Yeah, just like a mecha book. It feels like because Jeremiah Smith is such a freak at Ohio State that their number two receivers kind of Forgotten about but they are also number one receivers all over the world. Okay. Let's talk about another number one Why receiver up there in Buffalo? They debuted a new stadium. People are very pumped the Nipple City uniforms are trash But we do know Kaleo Shakir has been make a place since he got to Buffalo. Obviously Josh Allen. Very comfortable with him. I like him. Whoa Slide tag going on there. Oh, I thought he was going to do the golf thing Okay, so he was the only one that had to wear the jerseys on the quarterbacks. Yeah Instead of the red yeah, yeah, get to yeah, you're right You get to wear the Nipple City. We'll be talking to Josh Allen at about 105 Eastern today about that slide catch Stand up celebration. Yeah, Shakir there, which we certainly appreciate brought to you by Wegmans Anything you stop by your way. That's right. That's right. It's good grocery. He's a man nice. Y'all Wegman's got it. I want some chicken wingies Wegman's got it. Hey, I eat some milk Wegman's got it sugar Wegman's got it. Splendid. Wegman's got it. A Super Bowl I don't know if they have that they don't they have they have a Super Bowl. Yeah, but they don't have the Super Bowl No Buffalo needs that is this going to get it done. We shall see. There's a new stadium and a new uniform is going to get it done Debug. Oh, we shall see beautiful beautiful new stadium uh the jerseys Might be growing on me See a foul uniform. All right, let's go to the Saints. Let's go to the Saints. We'll talk to Josh Allen about it all Here's Jordan Tyson. How you doing, pal? How's he? Large what's he do? Magic. Hey, hey, she's give me that Now with the toe tapy tap Tyler Schuck obviously spinning that and then let's go for another one, shall we? Oh, this is all dangles. Sorry. Let's get watch up cook Yeah, what are you supposed to do there pal? I mean, that's different. This this guy Jordan Tyson should be the one if he can stay healthy I feel like this is we talking about offensive rookie the year This would be the guy at the top of that Chart for me here's unbelievable the size the speed but for him to be able to move like that at that size like that's rare Kind of movement ability especially at the top of the route. I'm excited to see with him an old Schuck do down there in New Orleans Hey, is this the bee need to check himself right into I'm selling insurance academy or is he gonna be all that? No, we'll see we'll see that was you know good route tough route good throw. You want to see a little little less cushion between the outbreak or But um, he's getting a frame. Got you name in the frame. My boy bad day. Yeah, we'll see bad rap. He'll bounce back. Yeah, let's go up to Detroit Not a lot of positive coming out there other than highlight good lord. Guess who's back back again Gives his back Tell a friend how much you guys pay him high paid running back in NFL history pack Well deserved well deserved. I watched this rabbit Outrunning two coogers or something out on a field. Oh, yeah, yeah, we all say yep, oh, yeah, unbelievable The just the sense of awareness that that rabbit feels like watching Gibbs out here on the thing He's untouchable untackleable even whenever they're not tackling. It's tough to get him down to hand touch that I probably pushes him out of bounds, but he's in the Grinchiella greens. I appreciate that It's great to see him back on the field as a lion's fan. I would assume. Yeah, 100% I love that they're showing him run the ball and catch the ball because he is such a weapon He's outstanding. We go as Gibbs goes this year. Well, we're good chair golf celebration in the back He thinks that's six. It'll be a long way. Obviously Gibbs could do that is MCDC calling to place up their man No, we got a drew pet scene. He's from the Cardinals from last year Oh, no one has a super genius. That's what people are calling him got your Kobe 17 million a year I do appreciate that MCDC though has had an efficient offense since he's been there. Yep, and he has told many people publicly Got out of his credit for that man. Just a little bit. I mean, I'm here too man And I think they're gonna continue to do that. Well, the defense be good deep butt up there Oh, that is the big question personal wise and we'll see year two now with Kelvin Shepherd how he just how he Evolves as a DC but offensively. I mean they got all the way well Detroit's gonna have to face the team for Green Bay twice And tell you what they have their night practice in Lambell and it was sold out and Jordan love goes deep to math you Golden First round pick on a wide receiver obviously ignited the entire Green Bay Packer fan base especially Ty who was obviously in attendance at the draft in Green Bay Sold out spring. This is normal. Yes. Yeah, very much so. Yep, this is unbelievable that they're able to fill it up Obviously Packers fans are like a college fan base, which is why the draft so special Which is why anywhere the Packers go is normally sold out this an absurd field made me feel like football is back I couldn't even imagine what a Packers fan felt like yeah, absolutely, and then you know just to top it off You know you got the the connection that kind of every Packers fan is waiting on and then If they're gonna be good this year like those guys need to be on the same page So seeing Jordan love hit Matthew golden deep like that like I'm just hoping that's a small morsel of what's to come? And then yeah doing it in front of a sold out crowd at Lambo under the lights nothing better Yeah, so the entire time just goes over there pretty much and I think this is also like a lot of people who maybe either You know aren't going to be able to go to a regular season game so then come to something like this and then obviously It's a bunch of season ticket holders as well. Watch Jordan love throw a deep out of Matthew golden have a good time You may be going down a slide over there. Yeah, maybe a couple cocktails What what world's kind of your oyster at that point especially when you're watching you know deep ball touchdowns like that I'll tell you a deep ball touchdowns will be cool Christian Watts. I forgot how big he is Yeah, he comes into the frame of celebrate with him. He's a monster Mm-hmm. I'll tell you what coming off the bus Jordan love gigantic, too, right? Yeah, yeah Tucker crafts a big sum bitch as well. I saw he's almost back. Mm-hmm. Wow the Packers moving. We'll see we'll see got to stay healthy Got to stay healthy got to get healthy and then got to stay healthy You know what? I'm looking through the list here no Vikings highlight just a lot of tweets saying nobody knows who's gonna We will move to the NFC South. Let's go to the Dallas Cowboys. Hey turns out the guy that everybody says is gonna be good in the NFL Probably gonna be good in the NFL Caleb Dines one on one CD lamb number one water receiver big-time money rookie Yeah, I mean just it falls even a little bit gets back on path hits the body But doesn't get a penalty D. But this seems to be clinic. It seems like out of Caleb Don's Yeah, we watch and play boots from the ground multiple years multiple games and everyone we talked to them both Those teams that he played for in college said this is the one and now seeing it's like this route right here He's trying to get picked right here by pickings. He gets over it stumbles still gets back to CD lamb and makes a play on the slot Fade which is one of the toughest routes I in the lead guard and then once again one on one of the best white receives in the back And ends on making a play we saw him with his run fits. We know he can tackle hits like a ton of bricks We know it communicates. So yeah, he's everything you want when you're drafting the safety as high as they drafted Oh speaking of as high as they drafted me if you knew a guy was gonna be a day one started a day one player Yeah, which is what everybody was saying. Yeah, oh it gold jacket day one player They said that at Alabama as a freshman whenever he got on campus They said this guy's gonna have gold jacket. It's all said and done and everybody. It's ever been around him including Matt Patricia Said yeah, everything they're saying is true and he still falls to 11 just because he plays safety I don't think I fully come and everybody's mindset But if he's gonna continue to do this from jump. It's like yeah, everybody has said that this is what it is Some believe I'm very thankful we're getting watching because they're comparing them obviously to Ed Reed and all these other Phenomenal safeties are able to do it Troy Paula Moller's names even get mentioned because of his sense of feel and understanding and Maybe baby Jesus is talking to him just like Troy Paula Moller had and everything we didn't have that we don't really have that right now So if he is that thank you from the football or to the football gods for sending men to the NFL But also I don't understand why it's like well, he plays safety though. It's like Okay, they're saying this guy's the first ballad or since he's 17 years old I'm just gonna value the chart. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy But I there in those rooms were not for good reason. Yeah, exactly and the Cowboys probably got another great draft pick But you mentioned with the Patriots when it comes to AJ Brown versus Christian Gonzalez. How big that is like how huge is it for him All sort of go in immediately day one and you have the best wide receiver duo probably pickings and CD lamb going up against them every day on that note Here's CD go and deep just a nice little reminder of who he is. Yes Caleb Downs is having a hell of a camp CD is still CD and you can see me in Yeah, deep for a CD lamb unbelievable him and Dak Prescott obviously gonna have another huge year with GP on a franchise tag Working out. Okay, let's go to the Arizona Cardinals. A lot of people were dancing in disguise demise turns out it might Been a little bit early Marvin Harrison Shakey baking cookie catchy toddy. I love everything the Marvin Harris is doing here because there was a lot of clips coming out of him Seemingly not being able catch a football Yeah, and I was getting a little bit worried even as a fan of Marvin Harris and Judy like you know what? Maybe this guy has forgot out of catchable Maybe he's gonna have to do some maybe he's gonna have to go on his own little journey back to football instead He just had a little bit of a hiccup and everybody was spot lightning. He's all the way back when you're not to worry, right? Not to worry though. I think Mazda Rady marve is back You know the thing about him. He doesn't create a ton of separation But he's always making tough tough catches I would like to see him start to create more separation Some of that comes with the play calling as well But you grab McBride who's one of the best tight ends in the league and then was a Michael Wilson last year But a big time years off. I think 18 should take a huge leap this year Which is co-versettin that car was off it. I was saying Arizona Carson back Is this Matthew Stafford Aaron Rodgers? No, it's Carson back No, it's Carson back. What? That's Carson Beck. What? You're looking right throwing down the middle. Yeah, right safe He was doing that in the Hall of Fame game. Yeah, this guy's been in training camp for six days Has he even finished a full Americana with two extra espresso's Scott just got to the NFL. Yeah, he played a 155 games in college because he was everywhere that's not on him That's what the rules were this guy's experience. He's been in the biggest stages as a freshman. He was in a national championship Yeah, then obviously his entire life has been spotlighted. He's comfortable enough for a new offense Hey, yeah, hey, that's Carson back football back Carson back football. Hey, Jacobi got paid love it. Are we sure this guy isn't gonna be the starring quarterback? I'm mad you guys did. I'm mad you guys let Daniel come on here Hall of Fame James, you should have seen this defense as he Wasn't fully covered. That was that was wild then. I almost shot him a text after that But yes, we love to see you know they're running on the whole thing Carson I went to Miami, dude. I love cars. I've been been on a festival in the field watching I love Carson Beck and I think he just needs to keep doing what he's doing I think he'll be in a good good position going for I'm not gonna jump the gun. No, we got you know, okay, keep going I like you watch that clip. You know look at that. That was clean Cardinals. See? Hey, maybe arrow trending up after Hall of Fame weekend when they're definitely I'll take they're over three and a half I will too Why that is so rude way isn't that what it is that is so rude. That's what it is We don't have 17 games. We didn't set the line Is that the rule? I believe it. I don't know if it but if it was me Yeah, I love I'm taking that it's juice. It's minus 130 over so it's juiced a bit to the over Okay, we would we would like to if you would like to join us as a team responsibly and Of age if you'd like to join us on the best sports book on earth draft Kings we are all Riding. I'm sorry. I'm not yeah I don't want to hit that. We got more than no look. Harman. Mark is at a can. Are we sure that's a no look? Yeah. Can we see that from the front? He's looking way over to the right. Oh, D and right. Oh, through to the B. Yeah, right. He's trying to need to the B, brother. You don't understand. You can never in a million years. All I'm saying is they have all the makings of a potential good football team. Thank you. Just like the Panthers. Exactly. Okay, so three and a half. I'm there. I'm there. I'm there. Okay. This is unbelievable. 17 times. They're going to lie. I mean, they got the Niners a week 18. The Niners might not be able to feel a team by then. So maybe there's one. Which they have three before that. They only need three and more after that. Exactly. Okay. This is a highlight thing. Yeah. Let's get a Jacksonville Jaguar. We know what they're going to be. Trevor Lawrence in absolute stallion. Liam Cohen. John Gordon leading the way down there. Hi. Hey, Parker Washington catch every shoulder. Let's do a little dance. Let's spend a very good spin. I would say there's been some poor spins around camp. And everybody's in training camp mode. Obviously, I think he's down at the two there. So it's not a touchdown. Definitely a first down. Good spin. Yeah. I do appreciate that out of them. Jacksonville Jaguars vibes through the roof for me. Especially after I heard John Gordon say, me and Liam, we sat down and said, we're going to make a super positive, super duper place. They did just. They try to beat Parker Washington every single day. It's kind of been the thing of the camp. And no one has done it yet. He's been the star of the camp. He's kind of been the star since this halfway through last year when they started to get good. They're expecting big things out of him. I think I heard Liam Cohen say he trusts this guy so much. He made him his emergency contact. That's how much he trusts 11. I love. I remember last year during the season. I actually, it was like week five or six. And I actually, I don't know what it was, but Parker Washington. And since then, I feel like he's been making plays every week. Travis Hunter. Brian Thomas Jr. Obviously Lawrence. Jacobi. The Trevor Lawrence. Make that jump. We saw him take a huge leap forward last year. We'll see if the Jaguars can continue being on that high street. All right. Let's head down to University of Texas here as we wait for Adam Schaefter to get all set up as he's heading to a golf event. Cam Coleman trades from Auburn. Number two wide receiver in the country behind Jeremiah Smith. He goes to Auburn. Obviously, nobody gets to see it outside of the Auburn fan base. Who is a very, very large one for my understanding. That's right. Cam Coleman heads to Texas, though. He's got Archman in through. I full snagged big grab. Sarkeesians got weapons on top of weapons. Is this the year that Texas runs it? We shall see. I don't see why not. Are you sure Archman through that football? I hope not. I think it was tapped. He had to lie. Yeah. I would hope so. But him. Wingo. Is there other star as well? Right. Like this might be the year, especially because I think that Texas Longhorns is a story over the weekend. Got a guy back from the NFL. He ended up going. I think there's a couple. But I do think that's the only guy that had trials, I think. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, this whole fifth year, six year eligibility thing with a new rule being change over. And with a judge, which I guess is the new thing in NCAA that they can't beat is just some judge saying, no. You can do whatever you want to do. And they go. See, I can do whatever I want to do. And now they were doing that. And I guess there were a lot of come back. A couple of people who did not get signed to teams. I guess if you got signed to a team, you can't do it, I think. But if you want and dabbled and then I think you're allowed to. Kind of like the NBA, how the NBA does the thing where you can. But on that note, is anything real? Nope, you could just do it. Because we don't have any type of authority for the NCAA, which is what the Protect College Sports Act is. Which, by the way, did not get in before the recess. Come on. Awful news. That was news I broke this weekend. Yeah. As expected, Protect College Sports Act just fails to meet the floor before recess. A long path remains I.J. Because you get 30 days where these people who are paid to represent our people of our country just take off. Who does that with a full-time job? I don't understand. Teachers, I guess, have that for like summer. Yeah. But they're obviously. Yeah, they obviously do that entire thing. So I don't know how this is the thing. This is me as sportsperson just learning that this happens. I assume this has been happening since beginning of time so that they can just kind of do away with their responsibilities for a while while the weather's really nice still. Yeah. I mean, it kind of sounds like it. I don't know though. I mean, that's politics. They do what they do. I'm sure there's really good stuff happening here. Get back talking to each other. Yeah, go talk to each other. Yeah. Get back in there. Shake hands. Kind of see your face. Yeah. You're right. You're right. And decide we're going to get things done when we get back in there. What turns out though, allegedly, what we heard is once they get back after the recess, election season. Yeah. Yeah, college sports act. I don't think so. But then there was a report. Ted Cruz, who's one of the founders of the bill alongside Democratic lady from Minnesota. Eric Schmidt is one of them as well. Yeah, that's from Missouri. Yes. And anyways, there's a Democratic lady as well. This is a bipartisan bill. Ted Cruz, I believe, came out and said we got on docking to be the first thing you vote on September. So that's where we're at. Okay. Yeah. But if we don't, if not, then-- This is easy. I'll tell you what, Sanky was in. Petiti was in. All the commissioners were in, right? Yeah. This is the first time that anything's ever been completely yesed and then by the sports people. And then all of a sudden now, obviously, the politics people say, actually, we don't got time. Sorry about it. But politics people are saying it's worse enough that we're going to look at it when we come back. I choose being optimistic to say they'll do that. Half two. Ooh. Yeah. Marie Campbell. No, there it is. Marie Campbell, we appreciate that. Yeah. So they're going to get that done. Let's stick with training camp. Shall we? Let's go over to St. Vincent. Did you see the high jinks? Aaron Rogers playing defense. Whoa. Yeah, he's got the red cap on too. So we're looking for him. Debut. Anytime the quarterback gets in like this, it's such a good boost to the morale of the team. Yeah. Sure. Especially a 42-year-old with 42, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 42-year-old quarter. I mean, just letting know, hey, my hand's in a pile. So I'm still all in. I'm doing all the high jinks, bullshit. I'm having fun out here. If I can do it, you can do it. Yeah, I think that's the thing about Aaron Rogers. Also with Rogers Realm out there, he's trying to impress him and show him like everything that's possible. And it does feel like it's first day mentality. And that's what we love about Aaron Rogers. He came on our show. Lots of people hear some stuff. He did. That's right. That's some things he wanted out there. He's obviously incredibly happy and remarried. Yeah. And he's with the lads out there. It feels like Steelers' lads are very round. Vives are high. Everybody kind of understands, okay, this is the last go of this thing. I assume he's enjoying everything a little bit more than it maybe he ever has because he's understanding and taking it all in as a chapter of his life, a large portion of his life is potentially coming to an end. And now he's playing a little defense for the boys. Ty, this is what Green Bay maybe misses a little bit without him there. Everybody talks about the no looks and the ability to not turn the ball over and lead a team and all that type of stuff. I think the high jinks that happen in practice may be missing in Green Bay right now. You know what? I will say I do miss the high jinks a little bit because Jordan Love isn't exactly a high jinks guy. You know, you don't see a whole bunch of, you know, upset and gum or anything that kind of stuff. Jordan Love's not really doing that. It does get, it does make you pretty nostalgic. It does. You know, I just see Roger out there just having a good time. They play each other's way. They do. Wow. Really? Thursday night in the Burke. Really? So big. That has something to do with it. Yeah. Oh, dude. Did you preseason all mama? Uh, I don't think there's preseason all mama. Hey, nice day. Good call. Good call. I love it. It's preseason for fans too to be honest. I don't know. It's been a long time since I've been to a preseason. Green Bay, Pittsburgh, on NFL network. Hell yeah. Thursday, 7 o'clock, obviously preseason week one is going to showcase to all of us. What our teams look like in their helmets. It's going to showcase to all of us what an opening snap could look like. Yeah. And other than that, we cannot be overreacting to this stuff. Joining us now is a man who's senior NFL insider for ESPN, Michigan man. And also, I guess a golf conversator, ladies and gentlemen, Adam Scheff. Yeah, Jeffrey. Gentlemen, how are we doing today? Okay. So what are you got going on there, man? Well, we're doing a little something with golf today, something with Tommy Fleetwood and Cam Booser here at Memphis for the day. Yeah. So I'm in the chair where Tommy Fleetwood will be joining here a short time from now, Pat. So I'm keeping the chair warm for him. Okay. Well, thank you for doing that. Make sure you ask him the hard questions. You know, you're a journalist. People are going to expect you to ask them follow up to all the lads. We'll be talking to Tommy Fleetwood about an hour. He's obviously the reigning FedEx Cup champion and toward champion. He would be defending his crown and to say, Julia Champion. At the beginning of the FedEx Cup playoffs, top 70 players make it there. Then next weekend, the top 50 players make the BMW championship and then it all comes down to the top 30 players for the total championship in the FedEx Cup. And Adam Scheff, who's boots on the ground, asking him and Cam Booser questions. Yeah. I don't know how that makes any sense, but I appreciate you doing it and we appreciate you being there. Let's ask a little bit about some NFL stuff. Shall we? Carson Beck. What a performance in Arizona. Our first reaction is, wow, this guy's unbelievable. Then we're seeing highlights of him, no look in Marvin Harrison's making catches again. What is the word around Carson Beck's maybe opportunities with Arizona since dominating in Hall of Fame game? And if you want to be quick on this one, yes or no, whether or not we should be viewing him as a potential starter, you can certainly do that as there's other more pressing issues around the NFL. Well, I don't know that he's going to start the season, Pat, but I do think at some point this season, we definitely could get a look at Carson Beck as a starter before next year. So the Cardinals can get an idea of what they do or don't have. He looked great in that preseason game. Now you're just cautioning not to overreact anything that happens in the preseason. So I don't want to get too worked up about Carson Beck, but I will say this, the quarterback playing that game from Carson Beck and Haynes King, the Panther's quarterback, I think it was the best quarterback play that I've ever seen in the pro football Hall of Fame game, is insane much, but those guys went up and down the field. The two guys, it was entertaining. It was compelling. It was really fun to watch. They both showed that there are spots for them in this league. And Carson Beck's gonna make the Cardinals. He's gonna be a backup at some point. The question is, is he gonna be the two or three with Jacobi Preset and Gardner mentioned there? And at some point they're gonna have to get an idea of what he can do. And Haynes King is somebody that I think is gonna have a role there in Carolina this season. He's gonna make the team and it wouldn't shock me if they wound up using him in a Tason Hill role there in that same division. - Yeah, and would be awesome to see Haynes King and credible leader. We got a chance to catch up with him on college game to he was by far the best interview with a player down on the field. And you chitchat about Haynes King and Carson Beck having the best display of quarterbacking that we've seen Hall of Fame game. They both played a lot of football too in college. This NIO stuff I think is making some guy stick around. So maybe like the potential mediocre actually get a little bit better or good before their road to great potentially in the NFL. And obviously you always have to land in a good situation. We hope the best for both of them. Let's talk about a situation that's brewing over there in Minnesota. So you have mentioned numerous times. Okay, this is quarterback competition. Ian Rappaport was over there just got done talking to all the parties that are in the conversation. Literally just minutes out of a meeting and he goes, "This is a quarterback competition." That's all anybody saying. Local beat reporters are reporting like, "Hey, both of these guys are having good. Both of these guys look like ass sometimes." There's really no seemingly lean one way or the other. Is that how we should be reading this quarterback competition and how long is this thing going to go? Is this going to go into the season potentially until they figure out who really wants the job or who earns the actual job? Look, they have been determined to have this play out in the preseason. And they had a night practice last night where both quarterbacks were a little bit uneven and both quarterbacks had their moments as well. Jay-Jay McCarty made a couple of great throws. Kyle and Murray at one point, threw a nice touchdown pass to Jordan Addison. This was at the night's criminal last night and I don't know that they're prepared right now to say that one quarterback has distinguished himself to win that job. They have three preseason games, I think in a perfect world what you'd like to do, maybe is give each guy one start with the starting offense and the starting offensive line and then make that decision by the third game and have that guy run the offense is almost like a dress rehearsal for your regular season opener. But it doesn't sound like they're ready to declare a winner right now. I do think it's gonna play out here into training camp into the latter part of this month and we'll see what Kevin O'Connell decides. And I think the big question really also isn't who's gonna win the starting job is, is that guy gonna be the starter for most of the season? If Kyle Murray wins it and he doesn't play great out of the game, would they then go on to Jay-Jay McCarty and vice versa? Jay-Jay McCarty wins it, would they then have a short leash and go to Kyle Murray at some point in time. So I think we'll get an answer to the short term here but there are some long-term questions and ramifications that I think we should have on our radar as well. - You always think a long-term ramification. - Yeah, and especially whenever you draft quarterback that high out of Michigan and then you move on from a quarterback that could potentially have won the NFL MVP that year and then he would go on to win a Super Bowl. You know, there's ramifications for a lot of things that you do that lead to situations that you are currently in and on that note, if either of these guys kind of hit it and play great football, that offense can be outrageous. I mean, it is such a good seat for that quarterback to be in. There's other stories obviously brewing around camp. Justin Jefferson just as your wire receiver and then just the thought of Kevin O'Connell designing an offense for you to be successful is something that I think a lot of quarterbacks would dream of. Good luck to both those guys. We just assumed it'd be Kyle Murray's job and then all these reporters are like, we assumed same, dude, dude, it's not going how we thought it was. Good luck to both of them stay on a job. Another huge story coming out training camp this weekend is that boy Kirk Co. Chains back out there. Go ahead, Tom. - Yeah, Shepty, what's going on with the Raiders? Does Max Crosby know that you're not supposed to hit the starting quarterback? Okay, apparently he hit Kirk Cousins at least twice in a practice and Kirk had enough of his bullshit. So they got in a fight, they got thrown out of practice. What's going on with the Raiders is Max trying to get off of this team? What's going on over here? - There's a lot of conspiracies right now. - Well, let me say this, for Kirk Cousins to get worked up enough to go out, somebody is strong, Max Crosby tells you that he had to be pretty pissed off about the whole situation. And I know a lot of people are thinking that Max Crosby wants to be trained. He wants to be there right now. And I think he's going to be there. I think the real question with Max Crosby and his future in Vegas comes down to what happens if this team doesn't perform well. What if there's a contender out there before the trade deadline that wants to beef up its past rush? Could we see a team later this season, if the Raiders season is slipping away, make a run of Max Crosby? And I could see that being a possibility in October. That I see. But right now, no, Max wants to be there. And I just think he's worked up, he's intense. He wanted a pitting, Kirk, I didn't see the two plays, Kirk took offense to it. And here we go, they're both suspended for saturday. As Kirk, Crosby's ever been suspended in his life. For a practice, I would venture to say no. I'll bet that's never happened before. It was a first and it looked like he went to the Backstreet Boys concert that night with his wife. So he got a real nice day out of it. He got to skip practice and they go to a concert that night. Good for him. I don't know if I love all about all that. Kirk, it worked. Kirk gets fired up though. You like that, remember? I mean, he does get a little fiery. And we know Max Crosby, he's a menace. Always going to be a menace. Always going to be going 100 miles an hour. Heard Fernando said, guys, God, cool. I didn't know what they said. But I think Kirk potentially showing Fernando like, hey, yeah, right. We can't just sit here and take the seat. No, we would get our asses beat in an actual fight here. Can't just let this. But how the rest of the team let him run into a quarterback? I guess Max is allowed to do whatever Max wants to do. We have some good news coming out of Vegas sports today at Vegas Sports TV. This is today is Kirk ran onto the field. Max Crosby gives him a high five and a shot that ahead. The boys have moved on. OK, we got the boys have moved on. That's a, hey, that's like old school. Yeah. Let's have a fight. And then after-- Shake, huh? Shake, shake, shake, your hands. And Kirk says, you frickin' bird. It might have been a work just to go to a backstreet boys concert for both of them. I heard their streets, their-- their sphere show is also heard. Yeah, dude, wow. Yeah, backstreet's back. All right. They're gonna spew. Yeah, they're doing spew. I hope so. Holy shit. Be a T-Mobile. Hold on. That's unbelievable. My mind immediately drops some in-sync songs there. You're like, bye, bye, bye, bye. Yeah, that's that thing. That's just here. Yep, huh? That's not a Carter Nick Carter. Those two are the leads, right? Yeah. And then the boys. The rest of them. Brian. [LAUGHTER] I mean, if I know anything about Kirk loves the backstreet. Yeah. Hard not to. Yes. Especially with their-- they're probably here. Oh, yeah, oh, shit. You don't think Max was there either? You guys just keep saying that. Black boy? He probably went right to the studio fighting it. Yeah. I don't think he's a backstreet boys guy. All right, let's guess. Let's do more football, shall we? Speaking of football, is football going to be played up in Foxboro? Good. Oh, man. Yeah, Chefs, he's kind of a weird story about the Patriots in New England's turf that they installed after the World Cup. And then the NFL deemed it not worthy of an NFL football game slate to rip that up and put a new turf down. What is this situation? Is this a bigger deal than it's kind of being talked about? And will there actually be a game on Thursday because they are hosting the Colts? I'm sure they're going to work out by Thursday. Don't think it'll be an issue. They'll figure it out. The crafts will do what they have to do to get turf installed in the field. And I just think it accentuates the fact that every player would like to have the turf that the soccer players on. The soccer players played on during the World Cup. I don't know why they can't do that, but maybe the NFL team will have something to say about that in the upcoming collective bargaining talks whenever those get started. They're our agendas for each side. And hopefully it can result in some new, compliant grass for the NFL players across the league. Did I just hear you say you used the World Cup grass? Is that what I heard? Yes. Chef, Chef, listen, you got to learn more about your grass, OK? Now, we only know this because we've been pressing NFL for grass in stadiums. And we talk to Dr. Steele's, who is the NFL doctor. Yeah. CM on grass expert will. Not Steele's. Now, I would like to say it's like a still image in time, whenever he gave me an answer, that blew my mind, which was they're running robots on all these turf and grasses at different times of the year. And it turns out certain grasses are good maybe in September but not in December. Actually, there's some turf that are better than some grasses. Allegedly, now this is NFL run robots telling us about NFL. What we do know, though, it's all been kind of understood. Soccer grass ain't good for football grass. No. It ain't good for the big boys. Yeah. Too much bean. That grass ain't built for that. The grass is built for the beautiful cane. The grass is built for-- You really are a grass insider. You're an insider on grass, aren't you? That's right. Well, I will smoke some grass for sure if people know that. But I will also get interested in it. If every player seemingly wants the same thing, it's like if every player wants the same thing, I feel like us as former players who have a platform should at least say like, hey, why aren't we doing this? Whenever we get a chance to talk to the people that are inevitably making the decisions. But boy, the NFL and the owners have a lot of excuses. Yeah. They've got a lot of shit that they say. Like, oh, is that the grass you want? Oh, do you remember that grass actually caused a boop-a-boop. And then we would like the perfect grass to be out there as well. But for more understanding, of understanding grass, the soccer grass, ass. - Mm-hmm, a little thicker ball, yeah, it's not good. J.J. Watt, I think, went out there and tried it one time, and his big ass, both feet weren't from you, you didn't want it. - Like cerebral, the eagle's chiefs. It was just slippin' in slide. - Yeah, slippin' slide, exactly. You want that? They took the son father out of the picture there. - True. - They had son praise him. - Big mistake, yeah. - That one half, that was a mistake. - They cooked that thing. - Uh-huh. - And then they tried to rinse that thing. - Then they tried to bury the son father. - Slop. - But move along. - Anyways, we know the grass, Shafty. As we always say, you need to learn it too. If you're gonna be talkin' about grass over there with a dog. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Okay, let's talk about some huge names now, going down. And I'm talkin' huge bodies as well. Go ahead, D-Bud. - Yeah, worst part of the game. Injuries comin' out of training camp. Laramie Tonsle left tackle for the commanders, Luther Burton, he went down for the Chagel Bears. And Kaye May is a starting center for the Detroit Lions. Any updates with those guys? And will these injuries impact the start to their regular season? - Oh, yeah, well, Laramie Tonsle for starters. I'll be surprised if he plays again this year to serious injury. And it's gonna take a long period of time for him to come back for that. They would have to be in position to make it such that he could come back. And that's even if he could do that with the torn trice, if it's hard. I mean, they certainly can't count on him for the remainder of the season. That's a big blow. They made him the highest paid offensive tackle in the off season. They just paid him. You're counting on that guy protecting Jane Dango's blindside and he goes out in a one on one drill and tears his tricep. Luther Burton, the wide receiver from the Bears, got a groin issue. It's gonna be the rest of the preseason. The Bears aren't gonna rush him back. There's no reason to do that. They think he'll be ready for the regular season opener against the Carolina Panthers. So that's the good news, but you're not gonna see him the rest of the summer. I don't believe, which is a blow. And he's look great during camp. There's another injury right there. You mentioned Cade Maze. Boy, the Lions, right? Like that center position. Frank Ragnar retires. He comes back, then he's not gonna play. Then they get Cade Maze and they sign him to replace Frank Ragnar. Now he's out to the middle of the year with a bone break in his wrist. Come on. Now they've got a bunch of guys there. It's like the commanders now are gonna take a guard and moving back to tackle, to play left tackle, Bruce Campbell, and the Lions are gonna take somebody that they weren't counting on being their starting center and they've got to make them their center right now. Juice Scrokes would be one of the options that they're gonna put out there. It's, again, we're a couple of weeks of training. - Yeah, it's not fun stuff. - And your key players, key players going down for indefinite carries of time. It's, that is the worst part of the summer and it's not close. So the NSC South itself is lost a bunch of players. And by the way, if those are the only injuries that pre-sum of the summer, the pre-season, that would be enough as it is, but we know that's not gonna be the case. There are gonna be more guys that are lost as well. - How about we decide no more injuries right now? - Please. - That'd be great. I'm signing me up. - Okay, so you're in? All in favor say aye, aye. - Okay. So that's how we'll do it from here on. I didn't hear him say that. - He's like, well, actually I need some tweets. - So maybe he's a butterfly effect guy, doesn't know how that's gonna-- - Oh, he doesn't want to vote against the universe. Yeah, just kind of let it happen how it's supposed to end. - Because these injuries, are they inevitable? Would they have happened inevitably, anyways, if this was not just training camp, but the regular season, like there's so many of those, how much misfortune comes into some of these injuries? I mean, I've seen some guys get injured. I'm back-to-back years. It's like the most unlucky thing of all time. So where's part of the game's injuries? And now, last question for me. - Well, before the last question, we brought up the injuries. I didn't even mention the 49ers, and we know what's going on there. What's your last question back? - Well, what's going on there? - What is going on there? - Just everybody's, everybody, they're 20 guys, not practicing one, they're less 20 guys. - But why? - Yeah, but why? - It's crazy. - What's going on over there? What's going on a camp over there? - Well, I don't think it's the electrical substation like everybody else, I think. - That's bullshit. - Are you a scientist? - No, I just went on to anything. - Wait, let me see, at least he addressed it. I appreciate you at least addressing it, because it does feel like a lot of big-brained people are scared to admit it, you know, potentially, just to start on, this is internet fodder. But then when John Lynch comes out, the journal manager goes, "We're definitely going to look into it." Yeah, we're definitely going to look into it. And they've looked into it. And then now, we're all kind of watching what goes on. It's just, maybe they just have the worst luck in history, or maybe the thing that we all see the entire time, you know, it's pretend, I don't know. Hey, the substation's got its own thoughts and its own Twitter account. Now, you didn't even mention in my world, Alec Pierce, okay, is he going to play? What's going on? 'Cause every day it seems like I'm getting a different report. It sounds like he's not playing weak one. And what I thought he was playing weak one. They continue to say that they believe he'll be back by the start of the season, but he still hasn't practiced yet. Apparently, he got another shot in that need to help it along. And again, he's not out there. But it's hard for me to imagine that they're going to invest in over a bunch of million dollars, given the huge money that they did. Have him lead off your free agent show where you break the news of Alec Pierce signing, resigning with the cults on a four year, 114 million dollar deal. And then all of a sudden, he's not going to be ready for the start. I think he will be. - Okay. - And they're being smart and cautious. They're taking their time with them. He's just not there yet right now. And Josh Downs heard his groin, but that doesn't appear to be serious. He should be back in practice this week as well. - Okay, off season ankle surgery for Alec Pierce, you said shot in knee. You meant shot in ankle? - Shot in ankle, yeah, it's an ankle, yeah. - Okay, okay, okay, yeah, yeah. 'Cause we share pants there whenever we hurt knee. It's like, okay, yeah. Just made it, I want to make sure that's accurate, okay? We appreciate that positive update and good luck doing your golf talk over there, brother. - Thank you, my friend. I appreciate it. Great to meet you from Memphis, Tennessee. - Hell, yeah. You should go do some walkie, knee, knee, knee, knee. (singing in foreign language) - He's just doing some research on Elvis too. Well, he did President Nixon, I do believe. - That's good. - Yeah, it's a good story. He wanted to be a federal agent bad. He did not care. Ladies and gentlemen, that's Adam Schaefter. - Hey, Jeffie. - Hey, when he walk in there, President has peanut M&Ms there on the table. You will sit in the couch closest to us. Do not touch peanut M&Ms. Those are for President. Thank you very much. (singing in foreign language) Give me that. - He's a how-dog, you don't give a shit. (singing in foreign language) - What a dog, dude. - Yeah. - The more I've learned about him, the more I'm like, that guy was a absolute beast. He would never gonna find happiness, I mean. - No. - He was just gonna always go. - He's on top of the world. - On top of the world, let's talk about being on top of the world this past weekend. There were five men that were able to celebrate the hell out of going into the hall of fame. Being immortalized forever, one of them just so happens to be a very close friend of the program. A man, who I held footballs for, the all-time leading score for the NFL Ladies and Gentlemen Adam Finitarium. (clapping) - Thank you for having me on, fellas. - Well, there's the comedian, look who it is. Adam Finitarium, hey, how you feeling? Brother, congratulations. I hope you got a chance to take into flowers this weekend as the world, and the football world said, you're one of the greatest of all time and will be remembered forever. It was a cool weekend for you. I hope you got a chance to take that in. - It was incredible. - Yeah, every day, just gotten more exciting and more memorable, and as you can see right there, standing on stage, getting to see the bus for the first time and delivering a speech. Hopefully everybody was entertained fairly well, and yeah, incredible, really incredible week. - Everybody was having a good time with your speech, okay? Everybody had an absolute blast. There's fresh off a teleprompter, is your forehead joke, right off the page, right through the, hey guy, who held my balls, liked doing it more in my wife even got Allie involved, which I really respect Allie involved, which I respect and appreciate so much. It was a blast, Vinnie. When did you decide what you were gonna do with your Hall of Fame speech? - Well, I wanted to make it heartfelt, obviously. I wanted to thank the people that I needed to thank along the way, but I also wanted to make it memorable, right? You know, I wanted to have a speech that people weren't falling asleep in, and all the Hall of Fame was the old guys on the right and left of me. They all said, "Make it short and sweet. "I don't want to fall asleep." So I figured if I was gonna add a couple extra minutes, I'd better make a couple of jokes, have them on the edge of their chairs, and have a great time with it. And then I thought I brought it back at the end, and let football know how much, and what it's done for my life. And that was the part that was sentimental to me, you know, I had a tough time getting through that all week long without, you know, really getting emotional. And when the crowd started laughing a little bit, I thought, "Okay, this is gonna be all right." - Dear football was a sweet way to end it. I didn't know how deep you were gonna go as you were talking, I'm like, "Hell yeah." As I committed more to you, you committed more to me. It was like, it was a beautiful thing. You talking about the sport that we all love, that we all have benefited from. We still benefiting from it today, and then also massive benefit is, Hall of Fame is treated like a reunion, you know? And if you're not on a championship team, that team very rarely is gonna have a scheduled kind of meetup. Usually it's just like funerals when everybody kind of gets back together. So getting a chance to celebrate so many different errors of the coach, and then obviously the NFL as a whole, and then some Patriots players that stopped by as well, was a blast. I want you to know that it was a great party, brother. You put together a great group of people, and there was a lot of people flocking there. I know you were taking pictures like the bride and groomed the whole time, but no, you had a great party, bro. You had a great party out there. Well, I didn't get to see it back in the Scarborough with you guys and BS about the good old days too much. You know, you try to spend a little time with everybody and then the next thing, you know, your party's almost over, but you're a safe family. They put on a heck of a party, an incredible party. It was fun to see everybody, the people like I addressed everybody during the thing and I said, if you're in this party, if you're in this room, you had a huge impact on my life. And I want to just tell you all, thank you so much for being there. I have it all you guys there was incredible. All my teammates standing there in that picture right there, you know, and there's so many more. There's a lot of people that obviously couldn't make it, but yeah, it was a heck of a great time. It's funny. I see those pictures and, you know, I just, I have black shirt on right and I'm sitting there thinking, my kids gave me this unbelievable present that I just didn't have the balls to wear, but I want to put it on for you just right now. You're so Italian, your kids are so Italian. I love that you've got you ice down. I love seeing AJ and Gabe and Allie all get spotlighted and vowed the way you talked about your family was sick. I wish you would have wore that. Yeah. Could you imagine the reaction of every human that walked into your party and saw you ice out of your mind? I love it. I have a tough time even wearing it right now, so I'm going to take it back and off because I feel a bit uncomfortable, but you know, but I guess you got to rock and be proud of it, you know, it's, I always thought I loved number four the best, but three and seven's a pretty awesome number. Yeah. I think so. I'll tell you, I think you should never take that off. Hey, if you take that off, you hate your kids. Right. You said you never going to see that and now I'm going to wear it for the rest of my life, I guess. Hey, baby, hey, if he takes that off, he hates you guys. You need to know that. Always said during that speech was how much he loved you, you know, and all that. Let's improve it. You know, I deserve that. I deserve that. No, I was. I appreciate it. Yeah. And I think there's a coach that might be getting to Hall of Fame next year, maybe who'll see. Yeah. He might have a microphone next year too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I, it was fun to throw a little trash out there to fill as obviously. If you got mentioned, you're, you're dear to me, you know, I think there's probably people like, I didn't get a mention coach Dunjie, Ben Polian, a lot of people that were instrumental in my career as well. And they probably sat back and said, and with this, what this is going on, I don't want to be mentioned. They're like, please don't mention my name. Now, all of us, all of us that you mentioned, I think very much understood your adam commentary. That was definitely going to happen. And also, we all appreciate the hell out of the fact that we are teammates with the goat, you know, and it was, it was cool to hear everybody talk about that. Go ahead, debug. Absolutely. Congrats again, Vinnie. I need to know your thoughts. Your thoughts on your bus, your initial thoughts, when you saw come out obviously, it's a long, long process. And there's always talk or fodder about either bus or statues and people are built when they are built for people. What was your thoughts on it? And then what was it? What was the feeling like when you actually placed it into the hall of fame? We already remember the John Matt speech when you talk about the bus, when you leave, there will be an air talking to each other. So what was that moment like and what was your initial thoughts on your bus? Yeah. That was really cool. Getting the opportunity, Scott Myers is the gentleman that did my bus. He's a guy from Texas. I flew down there, spent a couple of days with him, had it about 85% done when I got there. Then he just put a bunch of the finishing touches on while I was sitting there with him. Yeah, I was excited for the anticipation of pulling that over and seeing it. People were like, man, that's a young Vinnie. And I said, we kind of try to figure out an era where it wasn't the beginning of my career. It wasn't the end. So clearly, I have more hair and a lot less gray here there. But I just wanted to, you know, when you, when you see that and then, and then, and then actually getting to take it and putting it into the, you know, into the hall of fame in the bus room and seeing all of the other ones around you, you know, you just feel like, man, I'm surrounded by greatness right now and, and I hope they do, I hope they actually do talk to each other and I hope that speech made them laugh. So maybe they don't pick on me like they pick on every other kicker in the world. A good idea coming in there, setting it down. Yeah. Listen, we're fighting back if we have to. Carly, Eric Gordon, Casey, Kaylin, Pete, obviously the whole family, Tracy, Conti, even a part of it. They, I think they did a phenomenal job, honestly, with the entire setup. And I would like to let everybody know. Carly brought it. Listen. Yeah. Absolutely. No. She was incredible. All week long. You see the gold Gucci Adidas boots. Oh, I mean. Lovely. Yeah. Super clean. Yes. Absolutely. And also so confident and comfortable in who the hell she is. Not an easy position at all. You're walking into an old boys club, right? You know, you think of the NFL owners and I'm just so proud of her. She has her own swag. She has her own style and in the way she, you know, after we lost Jim a year ago, the way she stepped in, she goes, you know, I'm going to go into the meetings. I'm going to learn football at the grassroots. And I respect the heck of that because I don't know another single owner out there that goes into meetings, puts headphones on, listens and puts their input in. So not only is she, is she taking her father's role, but she's owning it herself and I couldn't be more proud of her and her other two sisters that have been such a huge impact on the team now moving forward. Like I said, my speech, I'm really looking forward to see how the team takes off and responds with their leadership. It's really awesome. Taylin, Casey and Carly, a phenomenal football story that has really been written as we speak. You know the Hall of Fame party. Yeah, I do. Yeah, absolutely did. You know the Hall of Fame party, which I was making appreciate. There was Jack there. There was a lot of different options. I appreciate sometimes those events don't have Jack, because they got other bourbon that's much better. Sure. That's what they said. It's worth $8 billion. Okay, I get it. Your stuff's better. I appreciate that. Instead, it was a perfect party. Perfect time. You're South Dakota people. We're legendary. Obviously watching your dad become a puddle is sweet. I mean, it was just, it was a special weekend and we appreciate the hell out of you brother. I'm celebrating. Appreciate you. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, my dad thinks every meme now out there, but from the heart, man. Yeah, me too, man. A lot of balls, Joe. It's not a football. It's not a football. It's not a football. Ladies and gentlemen, that's number 387 of the professional Hall of Fame. Number four, Adam Benatar. Yeah. Yeah. Jim Ben in that. Yeah. Yeah. It was a good set up. Perfect. See Clayton and Matthias. I'm on there. Great spot. Oh, yeah. Great spot by them. It was cool to see everybody. These special teamers get in. So like special teamers, obviously, not like the top half of roster, you know? Yeah. Yeah. So like that, that was filled with guys who I think were very pumped to be there and we all had a great time. Yep. Good on the Ursa family, too, because that like that is one thing where you really could cheap that out if you wanted to and for them to do that. Like, that's awesome. Yeah, it was fun, man. Shout out to the Hall of Fame. What a weekend. Our two on the other side. Be a friend, tell friends something nice. A new podcast series from ABC Audio in 2020 goes inside a case that has captivated the nation. To many people, Luigi Mangioni is a modern day Robin Hood. People were cheering the demise of this person they'd never met. It was a father of two and a husband and had a life and was just doing a job. From the manhunt, ending in a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, to what authorities are saying about a possible motive. I'm ABC News Legal Analyst, Brian Buckmeyer. Listen to Burnin' a Proof, Luigi Mangioni, wherever you get your podcasts. He's the greatest. We're so incredibly lucky that we get a chance to chat about it every single day. We get a chance to celebrate the world's greatest football players this past weekend in Canton, Ohio, as a new Hall of Fame class was enshrined and celebrated in a huge way as football is officially back, back, back, back, back. Adam Venetary, Drew Breeze, Luke Keekley, Lair Fitzgerald, Roger Craig. I'll go into the Hall of Fame and moralize forever. Who will go in next year? Well, first balladers have been announced and understood. Could be any one of these fine gentlemen going in his first ballad. Rob Gronkowski, the youngest of the top 100, top 100 players of the top 100 years of the NFL. I believe he was wearing a red jacket alongside some 80-year-olds in the NFL. Gronk is a first ballad through and through, which is why Gronk will always have the respect of everybody from football. He graduated Woody Ha, Western Pennsylvania, inner scholastic athletic league, Western Pennsylvania, obviously East Hills of Pittsburgh, people forget, Rob Gronkowski. I'm sure Buffalo and Western New York don't necessarily love that, but that's just reality. And you look at the rest of that group, a couple of Steelers on that conversation. Ben Rothschildsberger. Is he going into the Hall of Fame as a first ballad? Let's go to one half of the hammer. Cowboy is AB tone, die hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I know you're about to throw up some sign language I would assume. Ben Rothschildsberger going to be a first balladder? He should be. Now, after the whole billbell check thing, you never know who's going to be first ballad and what these people's motives are voting on the Hall of Fame, but I believe Ben should be, AB talent wise should be, but I would be, I would be very surprised if AB got in on the first ballot. But no, I do think Ben should be. I mean, he's 18 years of just excellence on the football field, two Super Bowls led the team. I mean, I think seven should be, but we'll see. Okay. Well, Ben Rothschildsberger get voted in as the first ballot. I'm going to say, no, I'm going to say he should, but he won't. Yes. And I'm excited for him to just be pissed about it. I'm excited for him to shit talk it somehow because this is kind of the Ben Rothschildsberger way. I do believe very rarely gets a credit on the field for everything that he was, everything that he is. The amount of success that he's had. And that keeps him just the most relatable. I think he is maybe the most relatable first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback that there's ever been potentially. You listen to football and he's literally talking as if he's one of us and he was like that when he was playing and then he get on the field as his monster, incredibly athletic wildly competitive, could do whatever could take a hit, could extend a play and just get the job done. Ben Rothisberger is a hilarious individual to me because I grew up in Pittsburgh and obviously I've celebrated a lot of the wins that he has had alongside a lot of friends. But also just like the way he very rarely gets talked about ever, whenever it comes to like great football players, just plays into who Rothisberger kind of is on this. Still lives in Pittsburgh, like we'll never, it's just, it's just classic dude who happens to be a phenomenal football player. Yeah, and also fifth in career passing yards, fifth in regular season wins, fourth in fourth quarter, comebacks tied for the most 500 yard passing games of all time. You guys saw a couple of those two times. Shut up. I mean, he's top 10 basically every stat ever. So never gets talked about, never which means he will not get first ballot. And I'm not saying that's the right thing. I mean, I'm just telling you, this seems like this is the reality. And after Bill Belichick doesn't give voted in first ballot, it's like, we really have to question who will get in Antonio Brown. Let's go to nine year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler. If we're talking strictly football on the football field, Antonio Brown, first ballot Hall of Famer. No doubt. No question. He's easily in the Hall of Fame, but what does the Hall of Fame represent to the voters? That's what that's what the voters always say. So then he start going through to listen. It's like, how many first about next year, are there going to be actually, like I do wonder how many they end up having, and they go ahead to only two. I think too. Grunk and who else? Grunk and AP. And AP. Yeah. Adrian Peterson for sure. Just, but maybe not though, it'd be tough. Imagine him not going in, but I also feel like. How could Adrian Peterson, he want to MVP as a running back? He did. I think you would have MVP as a running back. I think you probably get in his first ballot, but there's a chance. Well, and I feel like. Has he been a perfect human? Jesus Christ. Yeah. That's what it seems like. Yeah. So there is a little bit of a, how, how long are they going to make Eli wait? That's my other thing. Like one of these guys who maybe should go in next year potentially doesn't go in because I don't know if they want to just make Eli wait and wait and wait and wait. Right over your shoulder. There's a man. Yeah. Just grabbed a microphone. I don't know if you could feel it behind you. As soon as you said, how long are they going to make Eli wait? This guy, when we grab this microphone, swings it over here. I'm done with it. Eli Manning was the leader of the New York football giants. One multiple Super Bulls beat the Patriots beat Tom Brady. This is your greatest of all time on the biggest stage, who, me multiple times. What are we even talking about here? Also ambassador of the game, his entire life and now. I can hear why the New York Giants fans think, why is this guy in and then all of a sudden somebody goes. What's his record? Yeah, how about that? And then all of a sudden everybody goes, well, wait a minute, they had that one coach. Can't put him back. You can't put him back. Exactly. Exactly. They have, there's an arrow. You just putting that on Eli. Can't do it. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. Great family name. They can in there. Well, it's a paint man in here. Are we trying to win football games, though? Well, they did. He did. He won a lot of football games. He lost just as many as he won. That's what everybody says. But there's so many things he could just bring up at any time. Well, Bill's going in next year, too. Yeah. And maybe I don't know. He's going in. Oh, same. He bought the faces up real quick. I'm going to pick the first ballot right now. Brock. Yes. Brock Easy. AP. SHERM. SHERM should have a long, long conversation. He had a long schedule. He was one of the most dominant corners in league for one of the most dominant defenses. Anyone that Super Bowl, you know, people are you led by that defense. I also think Whitworth, big wit, that's some conversations where he played for what, 17 years Super Bowl champ, maybe not the accolades that you'll want because I think, you know, he was a sensey. But I think those are conversations, but for sure, Adrian Peterson, Gronk, and who's the third one? What? Oh, no. Just those two. For sure. Just those two. Just those two. You said, A, B, if we're just vote not, but I'll say this, I think Cam Newton will be a Hall of Famer. Yeah. I think Cam Newton will be a Hall of Famer. At some point, there'll be like a celebration of who he is, what he was, how close, everything that he did. But I don't, I don't think first about just with what first ball it is, that is the conversation. I don't think with him, especially they're just going to throw a Super Bowl at him. Alex, Max, him thing like McCoy, great. All these guys are incredible playing here. Let's not get this twisted. Which is why I almost hate the people that are on the Hall of Fame bubble because you immediately got to bring up all the negative as soon as you bring up the positive. And these guys are considered to be in a Hall of Fame. And all the guys who's been waiting, Tori Holt, Regi Wayne, Robert Mathis, obviously mentioned in teammates, but so many names that have been waiting, have to go in at some point. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who's a nominee for the College Football Hall of Fame currently. We'd like to see his ass go in. He's College Football National Champion, Super Bowl Champion. The all time leading tackler for the Green Bay Packers, ladies and gentlemen, AJ Hawker. Yeah. Oh. Way to go Hawker. I mean. I think Ben, I think Ben deserves to be in. I think he will go in first. Okay. Okay. I like that. That's Ohio. Got talking for another Ohio guy. And I'm sorry. Ben, Ben Rothersberger didn't import a Kami Queen B for his Faro B. How's that? How's that going? AJ Hawker for an Ohio. Well, it's going well. They are taking to her well, so yeah, hopefully she starts laying eggs very soon. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to focus too much on his Kami Queen B. Uh-huh. That he brought into Columbus, Ohio, which they call the heart right of America. Yeah. Yeah. He brought a Kami Queen B into the heartland of America. Now we checked it out. She's not a Kami. We're at dawn all over again. This is what he did for his B. Born America. Born America roots from Russia, KGB, he waterboarded there before he put in the KGK. Oh, it's good. We should not have to have it too much further into this, but I don't know what you did there. Should have been in America and Queen. And you know who I know would have done that? Man, who's a locker-former. Yeah. This man's got 40,000 acres or something like that. And he's out there wrestling the steer. He's out there planting the seeds. He's out there doing it all for his family and his country and for Buffalo, Bill's Mafia. As he was the first one to wear those incredibly cool, nickel-city uniforms into the brand new stadium, Jason Jettaman, NFL MVP, quarterback for the Beals, Josh Allen. I got one word. Merck. That's right. Hell yeah. You heard about his Kami Queen B, he brought in. That's a real thing, Josh. I was listening. I'm not mad. Just wanted. Yeah. Disgusted, too. You could be. Because, you know, he had this feral swarm that he recruited to his hive. I don't know how much you know about the bees. He recruited them in there, and then he dropped the queen in there, and he was trying to get a sharpie on the queen B. Turns out his swarm killed the queen. You into beekeeping? I have been over the last six months or so, Josh. Also, I believe you're a great grandfather, immigrated from Sweden to start the farm, the ranch that you grew up on. So I mean, let's not act like any of us are, you know, originally right here. Generally real. That's fair. Yeah. Have you seen Odyssey? Okay. All right. All right. Let's move. Let's talk football. You're in the brand new stadium. Okay. Obviously, the Bison are gigantic. The new stadium was debuted. You look great in the nickel city uniforms, which are taking a lot of heat, obviously, but that's going to happen anytime something new. Over your thoughts on a new stadium and new era here, Brady is the head coach. Just kind of your mindset is a new vet in the league, but certainly new era for Buffalo as well. Yeah. A lot of, a lot of news, like you're saying, we got, as you can see, this clip, new, uh, that's to Cleal throwing a new receiver, you came more new head coach and Joe Brady, new stadium, new, new uniforms. Got a new baby. So there's a lot of news in my life, and, you know, we're just, uh, we're just rolling with the punches. We're waking up. We're accepting what's going on. Uh, we're just having a good old time up here in Buffalo having, having fun. Love that. Getting everything from Wegmans, obviously, it's the only place to shop and to stop. If you need a good time in the Western New York area, you talked about new babies. I saw you cry. I think it was a couple of weeks ago talking about fatherhood and everything like that. I have perspective change or quickly, huh? And how do you think you've carried that into work? No doubt, no doubt. Especially having a girl first, I think, uh, you become a little, a little softer as a man, you know, that the heart grows a little, a little bigger. Um, I miss my family right now. We've been in camp now for 11 days and hopefully we get to, I'll see him, see him soon. But, um, yeah, it's, it's definitely a perspective changer thing, things are in the world seem to matter less. And you just kind of bring everything back in internally and it's, uh, it's the coolest freaking thing, though. Isn't it crazy? How much they grow to from one photo to the next, you know, you're getting sent photos. I assume in video is why you're there. You're checking in on them and all of a sudden it looks like a new human, whatever you miss like two, three days, excited for you to enjoy it all. And I think everybody's probably told you this and AJ's told you this as well. It only gets better. Like my daughter is three years and like two months now. Whole. We got opinions. We got ideas. We got guilt trips. We got it. It is. It's phenomenal. And then little baby boy is like two, three months. He's starting to make noises. What a journey, man. It is crazy. How it changes you, though. I'm going to be honest. Yeah. You think that'll happen quick. Does it help you football wise? Do you think it's going to help you as a football player and why? What a question. Let's figure out if you can give it a go. an answer to that? Yeah, let's let's go with it. I think it helps in terms of just like hearing people out, you know, you got to listen to a lot of opinions like you said. In the locker room, in the film room, you got to take it with stride and, you know, I strive to be the best father, the best husband, the best teammate that I can be. And it's it's no different from, you know, anything else that I'm trying to, I'm just trying to be great at whatever I do. Uh, so I think that's, that's the switch in the mind. I love it. Uh, greatness obviously is something that, uh, you know, some folks have got celebrated this past weekend at the Hall of Fame. It was insane looking at all the greats. And then how all they talk is about how, uh, the prototype is you, brother. And it's been like that for a long, long time. So, whenever there is a change at head coach for your team, there is a little bit of a reaction immediately. And before a game's even played, I think some people have already made up their mind, whether or not Joe Brady was a good hire or not a good hire. What have you learned about Joe Brady? Now that he's the head coach, as opposed to just the offensive coordinator. And how is the team responded to offensive head coach versus defensive head coach? Yeah, I think the best thing that Joe has done, he's been himself. He hasn't changed his mindset, his personality, you know, team meetings feel like exactly how they have felt in the offensive room the last three years. He's authentic. He's got the respect of everybody in this building. And at the end of the day, people are going to have their opinions, but his mantra for us this year is put the ball down. Like, we're going to figure it out, you know, when we come, uh, come game time. And that's, that's our mindset. Just it doesn't matter if it's rain, snow, sleep, put the ball down, let's play some football. Similar voice in that building, especially with how much success you guys have had. It felt like a good play. But if you guys don't win a Super Bowl, it's this guy's fault. They're going to say, I mean, that is the pressure of being a Buffalo beer, especially with you as the quarterback. So much fun to watch. I've loved getting to know Joe Brady. Always has a great fade, Josh. Always has a great fade. Always. Yeah. He stays in that barber chair. Does he kind of himself? I wonder. No, he does not. No, he uh, listen, Joe, he watches so much film that that's honestly like a nap for him. He sits down that chair. He falls asleep and he wakes up a new man with a new cut. Okay. I like it for Joe. It's therapeutic. Let me go freshen this thing up. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, Josh. So uh, last year I had you guys were my pick to make it to the Super Bowl from the AFC. Honestly, a big reason was because I saw some behind the scenes footage of your offensive mind and how much they got it got along. And just how much like I loved watching go back and forth. And I've seen recently you made comments about how close this team is. How it feels a little bit different than it has in the past. I guess. What is it exactly? Offense defense. Like, how are you guys jealous during camp? Yeah, I think, I think you guys have been in the locker room before. You understand when you sit upstairs in the cafeteria. Certain guys sitting certain groups and kind of stays like that. But I think this team it's so, it's so mixed. It's so diverse. You walk upstairs and it doesn't matter if there's an open seat next to the old line, the D line, the linebacker, whatever it is, you're sitting down. You're able to have fun conversations and just hang out. And at the end of the day like, we just want to have fun. We want to play this game. We want to have fun. We want to do it well. And I think that when, obviously, when you play well, it's more fun. But we want to have that same energy each and every day. We don't want to change who we are. And I think from top to bottom, just how everybody is meshing and jelling. You think it's pretty special. Man, I like that. Let's go! Time. Sounds like we got some good chemistry brewing up there for the buffing of bills. There is chemistry always around this one particular player we have found. Go ahead, Tony. Yeah, Josh, we were talking about him last week and it's CJGJ, one of your new defensive additions who we know he likes to chirp as well. How's that? I know he was out for a couple of practice. He's back now. That's awesome news. How's it been with you and CJGJ across the ball from each other? It's been awesome. We've been able to have some colorful conversations on the field, if you will. But we're going out there and what I love about him. He's always in competitive mode. It doesn't matter what he's doing. He wants to win. He wants to let you know that he's winning too. And you need that on a team. You need a tone setter. And I think that's what he is for us. And you know, he's going to go out there. He's going to make plays for us and we're going to celebrate him when he does it. Yeah, and he's going to start some rumbles too. He's unbelievable. Anytime something around him happens on the internet, everybody pulls immediately up, bears, right? Saints, guys, just walks over to him and then he gets punched in the head, looks at him. Yes. And then the guy punches him again. That's a great guy to have on your team. I do wonder, okay, with your team, with CJGJ on there, do you feel, because you're a vote of what, the most under the lot, biggest trash talker. Biggest trash talker. I was the sportsman ship award recipient. That's right. Yeah, you won both of them. That's the duality. I mean, you know, it's pretty impressive. I would say, can you say, you're just calling me moron? Said it's an oxymoron. You're kind of are though walking oxymoron. You're not supposed to be the sportsman ship award winner while also being the biggest shit talker at the same time. You've somehow crafted that at this stage, you have to be a different person. Obviously, now you're at that than you were when you were younger, but it's been a little bit like con. Yeah, Josh, ninth year already. We were kind of looking around at all the quarterbacks in the NFL and you going into your ninth year. It's just crazy to think about. Does it feel different now? Do you feel as though you've changed anything? Here's the list of the QBs. We're just kind of, you know, reminiscing on like, wow, all these guys, this is their league now. This is your league. Does it feel that way? Does it has anything changed, you know, this offseason? And also I read, you are a chess guy looking to the Scottish gambit. It might change your game a little bit, but back to the football, how does it feel? Scottish gambit check. I mean, it's so real to feel like I've been here for nine years and I was talking to Rob Morris, our tight end coach, who's been here as long as I have. And I, you know, it almost feels like Roundhog Day. It doesn't feel like it's been that long, it feels like we're just kind of doing the same thing, but it honestly feels like year three, it feels like year four. It doesn't feel like year nine and just going out there and competing, having as much fun as I am. I think that's why it maybe feels like it's year three because I do have so much fun doing this. I take this with such great honor that I get to come and be the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills and I get to live out my dream and being in a foul quarterback. So I'm just going to enjoy it well as long as it lasts and hopefully it's, hopefully, it's a lot longer. That graphic was crazy. That graphic was crazy because you guys, I mean, you guys, we feel old now. You know, I feel like an old man now. Nine years for you is absurd. It feels like literally just yesterday, you were Minnesota Vikings jumping over that guy and he was straight up. It feels like literally just yesterday. Now your MVP, multiple MVP's, multiple Super Bowers across the board here with the young lads. Obviously, Stafford Rogers, they're old. Yeah, the old guard very old. They're very old. We know and there's others that are up there, but this generation, you know, it's kind of the middle of your, the primes of a lot of your careers. For you, you said Groundhogs Day, not anymore up there in Buffalo. A lot of things different, man. Go ahead, Debud. Yeah, brand new stadium. Obviously you win in there. You practice in there. You're new jerseys. What's your initial thoughts on that stadium? I know as a player of certain stadiums that had different sightlines, different eyes, different things. And on game day, on the sideline, are you a jumbo tron guy, are you standing up and watch your defense, or did you stay there making adjustments the whole time? I'm a little bit of both. I do like looking up the jumbo tron. Typically, they're like the end zone areas when you're sitting there. Your neck starts getting a little cranked. So you got to watch the field a little bit too, but making adjustments. Listen, I think the stadium is unbelievable. And I got to walk around it yesterday and check out some of the monuments in there. If you guys have seen the broken table, there's just, there's a lot of character. A lot of the art in the stadium is all local art. So paying homage to the local artists here in Buffalo. And I think that's something that they did so well was they wanted it to be built for Buffalo by people from Buffalo. And I think they did such a great job with it. Well, September 17th is a home opera against the Lions. And Josh, I don't know if you know this. We have been invited to do our show up there from the bison. And yeah, yeah, I don't know how that's all going to work still because I don't think that's an ESPN game, but I've been going. I can go from the bison. So from our understanding inside of like Trojan horse, I'm thinking right there in front of you think, you know, so we get the family above us. Well, I've scored on a gym kind of work. Sure thing. And then smoke coming side, smoke coming down out of the bison's mouth and mind. Yeah, you know, same time will both be smoking all at the same time. We'll do that Thursday September 17th hosting the Lions Thursday night home opener of the new highmark stadium. Are you guys going to be wearing those nickel city joints? What's that? I hope not. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I don't think we are, but you guys not like them. Is it the, are you guys the Buffalo bills or the Cal Gary Stam Peters? Get a Buffalo winters. Oh, changes hard. You're an indicator of change up there in Buffalo. And obviously there's always going to be some ripples whenever you break the tide a little bit. Those nickel city joints might lead them right to the supermarket. Good. And that new stadium is going to be the home of so many celebrations and tables being broken. It's going to be a blast. And on September 17th, we'll be lucky to be there live for the home opener. And we can't wait to see you and catch up with the entire crew. These two up there, yes? Yes. Okay. I'm galley so close so I thought I had you I thought I had to hit me ties I was talking a lot very quickly. I thought I was going to slip. I'm on top I'm three steps ahead. Oh you are on top of Dior. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. Hey close to Sillian checkmate brother All right, have a good one out there. Tell everybody we said hello That was good. Have a good one. Thank you guys. That was Josh Allen So there's no way that's gonna work because it's not an ESPN game But we're gonna try it. It's actually the first prime game is what I'm realizing because week one They don't get one. Well, I know who invited you so I know what's gonna work because they make all the shop calls Yeah, there was some there was pretty high up invitation and obviously feel honored and Pumped about it can't wait to be a part of the spectacle, but logistically. I don't know how any of that's gonna actually work No, we'll certainly act like it's gonna happen at this exact moment. It will be pumped up Yeah, it will be pumped up. They will share a set. Yeah, yeah, that's never that okay. Yeah, maybe Cuz it's not on at the same time. It's not cool. Maybe I'm sure that'll work. I'm sure everything's gonna work out You know why it's football season. Hey man, you know, it's not just football that's happening though sports are happening in a big way Oh you ain't I have you guys been paying attention to everything happening around the globe AJ around the sports world I have I think you might have a few little clips for us maybe - maybe I You know what it's time for things happening around the sports world now the world does entail the entire globe I'm playing it earth and whenever humanoids are up there on the moon doing sporty things we'll also highlight that But we're not there yet to go intergalactic. We are just scanning the entire globe to find awesome things or Memorable things that happen in the sporting world. Let's get a Brazilian Syria a Kotiba center back a hazi Maranhão Maranhão scores a goal and says I'm out of here. See you later anybody can jump anywhere, but There sir gone Here's a Maranhão disappears into a different portal this front front version really gives you a good He's gone now. He twisted a foot. He ended up being funny. He did get back out of the portal and Back on to the pitch. Oh, he would end the half. They would sub him out Two minutes into the second half. He would finish the silly, but this is happening in Brazilian Syria a year. Did I see the goal got called back to today? Yeah Yeah, I do believe that this inevitably is just one twisted foot, but a celebration into a different portal land Okay, let's stay in soccer. Shall we? Let's get a leagues cup. This is obviously when League of Mexico it takes on the MLS and this is an absolute cracker by Inter Miami's Rodrigo Dipal He's Argentinian. He takes off his jersey and showcases a Methie jersey. Oh, that's shout out Luke He's father passed away from an illness and Leo did miss this game So his lot of all lads there his pal Rodrigo Dipal says, you know what? I'll hit a cracker for you pal and then put the messageers on letting the whole family know that we're thinking of them I like what we're doing there. So do I, but I'm done with the MLS This is a nice nod. This is a great. No, I know and I love it I love it. I think he also he had jeans on right before this to pay. Oh, Dimesy as well Because he wore jeans to his dad's funeral, but outside of that, I'm done with the MLS. I tried I Let me make a caveat there anytime Messy is not playing. You don't know. I'm certainly not gonna watch Bobby Boenga. Wow, there's no one other guy, but I just can't do it. I tried my best I officially no longer have World Cup fever. I Try my best. They sign Posh. Yeah, or we got the premierly Exactly Saturday morning right before game day Earl Holland comes on the big screen You're not gonna turn it on for just 10 minutes to see if you get a goal. You said you're gonna do the same thing And I know for a fact That neither one of us is going to be watching that Cup Saturday morning. I know all this that's what we're doing This right here. He's gonna have it on his phone on the game day desk I'm sure her be still all in I'm sure he's still falling along. Let's go to American football. Oh, yeah, it's got a super duper arena cup Like this the win the game is the American fourth and one Nashville 59 Albany Four three no touchdown Nashville wins the championship Holy hell they are your 2026 arena super bowl bowl bowl champion Wow, now I do think he potentially got in right here But nobody ever turned it against the right away throws it over top facade holy hell national wins again Jeans is moved by the corner standing in front of the ref so we can't see yeah moved his helmet right in front of his eyes And obviously these arena refs are the best of the best Yes, so whenever you talk about whether or not they're gonna get a call right in a spot like that to win a championship Seems like they're swallowing their whistle and saying boys better get it clearly into the paint They did not the Albany firebirds go home at heartbreak and the Nashville super duper's win the arena leak Do we know is this was this a home game? Was this a neutral site? He was a home game for the National Okay, actually go back to we hear the pop actually listen to the barn go crazy here AJ Fourth and one for all the marbles he takes off. He's shorting To you believe in miracles. Yes, I mean you put nance on the call, baby How Michael's on the call? What a phenomenal job there by the home commentary squad of the Nashville cats who take home the title with a goal line I didn't know bone was number 69 on Nashville's team. That's sorry on Albany's team. I gotta get that call right Yeah, I mean, I think he has I don't know if he did you two yards Two yards out. There's no way. No, the book. Look at where the stick is the stick is literally Way good. Yeah, I mean these refs don't want to make the little guy. He's trying to peak his head over there Want to laugh got a matter like head? You got to sell it like you got in that instant. Yeah, yeah, I'm shit The Nashville cats probably have the most money invested in their team I think because it seems like they probably sell the most tickets. Yeah, that's good news for Titans fans if they ever get good Because the Nashville cats are wouldn't super duper titles down here on goal line stands. That's a tough football It's good a tough baseball shall we savanna bananas. Have you heard of my friend rack? Yeah, he plays left field and he does shit like this Okay, wow. Yeah, yeah, this live I watched his live with my kids This is unbelievable on ESPN. You're watching it as the Savannah bananas took on the The Locals something local beach coke and I don't go beach coke and that's okay Rack it's this thing with behind the back back flip nasty at trick play point I mean rack is racking them up to AJ. This guy is a phenom now We wondered why in the hell this guy is not in the pros because he can do that and then a couple weeks ago If you do recall shirtless guy hits a note to the left rack says give me that with a backflip Spider-man You think yourself well this guy knows baseball and so confident to baseball. Let's get him on a Pittsburgh Pirates We looked up his stats got candy curveball, but his unbelievable field and he sells out stadiums We appreciate rack and we appreciate banana ball. Do we not tie? I did for a while. I'm I'm back to being completely out on banana ball It sucks he that that is insanely impressive. I do enjoy anytime. I see him doing something like that I love it. I really do everything else you fucking leave it I don't want it don't need it and you know what it just it's all wait you think I'm you know wait till next year When they go on strike and there's no MLB season and ESPN is still shoving this bullshit down I don't worry I know Jesse Cole might have air and judge taking on Bryce Harp. Judged would fucking never Okay You know what else I don't like they were called the judges they go sell up met life stadium Absolutely not this is that In the other clip here we got the bananas playing at Yankee Stadium and rack I mean, listen, I love I love it. I don't need you taking fucking massive divots out of the outfield right there doing that kind of stuff Okay, it's Mickey Mouse bullshit. We're gonna lose an MLB season next year and we got these guys just completely terrorizing Yankee Stadium Then Yankees are going back and playing there. I got you know, I got got tripping in the outfield Falling down. I'm I'm done with it. I like certain stuff, but it's good for the game I did not expect it It's not good for the game because we're not gonna have the game next year But we're gonna have the stupid fucking banana fall and after one will not do it. I won't Can't do it can't win with it Won't do it But if rack wants to keep making those kind of catch them all for that because I do see in that okay I did not expect that either once again. Oh wait never mind. I eat fuck pictures. I got a cowboy hat on that sweet Look at the catchers here. Yeah. What about the cheetah print with a dancing. Oh, that's neat. Yeah, those guys can kick rocks as well I've tried I've really have and I understand I'm not the demo. I'm not the demo, but I'm done They're representing baseball. There's so many people they're selling out baseball our football stadiums That's fine. It's ain't a fucking game of baseball. This is grab ass make him out bullshit with some live BP sprinkled in okay. So that's good. People get introduced. I'm not the devil. Okay, they're going to get your back. We're going to get you down again. We're going to get you out there again. Okay. We're going to get you out there. They're playing in my backyard. They're going out there. The judges. I like that. They're in judges, taking on the Harp breeze. They don't know where in Judge Cloak. Yes, with the waves. Yeah, those hammers are actually swinging hands big like college shower. Yeah, that's what we're talking about. And then pull me back in a little bit. And then the Harpers, instead of baseball, that they all have the hair. You said they put the hair on their heads. That's the Harp. They all have that is their thing. And it's a Harbour on Derby. I mean, we're selling them at Life Stadium. Why? I mean, she you come to Luke's whole life. I go out and watch the judges take on the Harp breeze. Do it at Speedway. Oh, yeah, 350,000 people. Yeah, down there at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This is just ideas for the boys as the looming lockout. Yep. I think that's why I'm so obsessed. Yeah, really. Yeah, you're not. You're taking it out on a whole Savannah. It's Savannah baseball. Just trying to have fun with easy target. They are an easy target. They make it. What about 52-year-old each year are taking some BP, though, in a alumni thing and going. Yeah, as a 52-year-old, you don't like that. No, I absolutely love that because he's at a big league ballpark playing out in a big league situation. This guy played in the big leagues for a long time. You know what you're not going to see is after Etro, you know, hits up nine homers or whatever he did in this old-timers day home run Derby. You're not going to see him take his fucking dinghy out and start dancing up and down third baseline like they do with the banana game. He's going to fucking take his hat off. He's going to bow to the crowd and he's going to go back in the dugout because he's a ball player. He's not fucking out there playing grab ass. They don't take the launch out right? It's a very good time. It's a great time. I bet you Etro will do it. I bet you'll be out there. He would never. He would never. That is just such such a disrespectful move to the game of baseball, what EG loves more than anything. I just got a text from a highly respected college football analyst. He's with you. I respect what they do. I do. I respect it. That doesn't mean I have to like it. You're right, but I'll watch it. AJ was watching the other night when Rack made another magic guys. Let's pivot to this weekend. Ladies and gentlemen, FedEx Cupstar. This is the playoffs of golf. Top 70 battle in this weekend. Top 50 next weekend. And in two weekends from now, guess what we have? Top 30 for the torch. Ladies and gentlemen, join us now is the reigning defending unspeaked champion of all of it. An absolute stallion. Super handsome. Tommy Flea will. Tommy, we did not expect the last bet. Yeah, we did not expect the full Savannah banana burial there out of tie. We thought we were promoted. I was enjoying it. I was enjoying it. Geez, Tommy. You can't have that type of negative stuff coming through your, through your head before big time tournament like this. How are you doing, Tommy? How is the vibes and mindsets as we head into the biggest weekends of golf here? Yeah, I'm great. Thank you. I won't be doing any backflips on the course or anything like that while they had any shots. So, you know, no, I feel good. So, I'm gonna think about that. You really, you really nuke one there. That'd be cool. We need big driver twirl. Mm-hmm. Big one of those, you know, let that spin down like short. Yeah, yeah. You know, I'm talking about. Yeah. I feel like there's a, there's a place for it. The FedEx Cup. Yeah, is that what we're saying? Well, we'll see, won't we? I wouldn't, I wouldn't hold your breath watching me for it to happen, but maybe someone else. Well, I was thinking you, yeah, that's what we're talking about is you. No, I don't, I don't, I don't have a backslip in me. No, just good. We just need a good, I need a good, I need a good. Okay, yeah, yeah, I can do that better. Okay, I like that. Here we go. How do you players view this? This is gigantic, obviously, top 70? I remember there was a lot of conversation about that. What's the starting score? Then they changed that rules to try to make this more important it feels like. Is that an accurate depiction of what they've tried to do with these? And how do you guys as players feel about these weekends that you're about to take on? Yeah, I think so. I think when the playoffs start, I think it's a, it's a really, really cool time of year for us. And basically, I mean, there's three tournaments. There is 12 rounds of golf left for the season. So if you look at it as the playoffs is literally 12 rounds and you take it like that and then you get to the top championship and it's like a, a win it takes all like final events. So it's a, it's a, it's a really, it's a really cool time of year for us. AJ has a question for you, Tom A. Yeah, Tommy, I'm sure you, I would assume you're aware of how you're a parallel and what you've been wearing at these tournaments has been a big buzz on the internet. I see you wearing the Sunday red that our tiger was tweeting at you. Appreciate it. Appreciate the Sunday red you had in the past. What is, what's your situation like and when you get to a tournament? Are you just getting stuff from their approach shop? You wearing Sunday red? What's the plan moving forward? Yeah, I, I've got to the point. I'm very unorganized and unplanned with what I'm about to wear this week. So sometimes it's pro shops. Sometimes it's, you know, Sunday red have been great with me. Peter Miller. There's been some great stuff actually. There's a lot of amazing golfer parallel out there and this year I've had the chance to, to sample part a lot of it and it's been enjoyable that people have got on that, I've got on that wagon. So hot conditions these next three weeks. So the clothing's got to be right. What are the sizes? Medium? We wear an a medium at this stage of life. Maybe double X. I know you are a tyla. Double X. Yeah, I am a double XL. Walk into the clubhouse. I need double X out of your best stuff. I'm going to go with a tournament. Please. What's the, what's the record here? I'd like to know that as well. How do you feel about the game? How are you playing? How's this course match your game and obviously you've had success. But how are you feeling right now at this exact moment as golf is such a shot to shot? choosing a video and me hitting it in a bunker. I know I'm really nice. There's always that kind of, there's always that little break after the open where for us, I didn't need to play over the last three weeks. It's like a summer holiday for me and my family takes some time away. But I've been playing really consistently this year. I love this golf course. I think it's one of the best golf courses of the year. See, I like looking forward to it. It's nice being back at work properly and knowing that you've got like this push now to the end of the PJ tour season. Yeah, like at a proper tournament with proper players at proper time, you know, it does feel like you're at a proper, proper time for golf, you know? Cheers. And we're, yeah, super, super cheers. Now that we're talking about that, we're excited about it because you guys are going to lead us right to NFL season. And we are thankful for that. Debut has a question for you. Tell me. Tell me, I know you've been playing for a long, long time, but I got to ask you, are there still any nerves when you're going into that opening t-shirt, especially with the high pressure situation like this? Any nerves going into that opening t-shirt, and selfishly, I always have to ask you guys a question when you're having a show. One swing thought that I can take it to my game because I've kind of plateaued about mid 80s and I can't get over that hump. So I need one swing thought to help me. Tommy, please. Okay, I need, I need to see, I need to see a swing, but actually what I'm working on at the moment, for no matter how long you play, you still get these little things wrong, but I'm working on my takeaway at the moment. The first two feet that I take it away from the ball. I was getting that inside and that was affecting the rest of my swing. So without seeing you, I would tell you to make it. I got a quick one for guitar. We got a club. We got a club. We got a club. We got a club here. Oh, here we go. Here we got to see it. That's my like it. You're not going to be able to swing it. You should probably move it to the center of the here. Yeah, just make sure you can get a good head. That looks good. That's it. I don't know. You've taken too many steps into the ball. Ah, now there's no helping it. We don't have enough time on the show. There's no helping. Oh, that was a clean one. That was pretty great. You look great. Thank you. There's no way you're only shooting in the mid eighties. I'm not having that. I'm not playing you for money. I'm telling you, you know, plastic. Yeah, it's getting off the tee. Get off the tee. If I'm off the tee, I'm good. Okay, I have a question for you. You said to take back is a change. Don't you gotta just put your forehead up against brick wall kind of let your hands right and then put your weight on your back foot and then kind of just move it this way. Find a pocket, find a slot and then go ahead and transfer it away from back right to front left and then you're kind of swinging through in that. Isn't that basically all it is right there? There's no brick wall on the first tee. So I can't put my head on it. Damn it. It's true. Now, why don't they do that to them? You think just give you guys a caddy. Have your caddy let you lean as it your head up against his hand. Yeah, we need a brick wall guy. Is your caddy allowed to touch you while you're swinging because I saw some really nice Josh Allen about his. Oh, yeah. You can turn your hips. I think I've seen. Yeah, yeah, see we could have that go in. Okay, Tommy, these are all things you should try this weekend. These are things we think. Yes, I'm going to try right now. See, we don't know. Maybe win another one of these things. All right, now. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Maybe Adam Schefter will give you some more tips on how to do this with your conversation with Cam Booser. Let's pivot away from golf and let's talk about championships. Go ahead, Con man. Yeah, Tommy. Normally the golf is what gets us through the summer, but this summer we had the World Cup, which was fantastic. I know you're English. I'm just going to ask you the question is Tommy Tuchel ever going to get the freaking job. No, it feels like England's never going to win the World Cup. You believe that? Is it ever coming home? All right, take it easy. Why did you guys get to bus 16? I was actually really enjoying being in the United States while the United States were having to run in the World Cup and deposit it. Positive. See, I would have liked you to go on further. I really was. I genuinely like me in it. It's totally. Yeah, it was disappointing, right? We played a lot of football and yeah, maybe it's easy looking back and thinking like, you know, what could we've done different against Argentina and stuff? And I don't know, man. Feel for the guys. Like it means more to the players on the pitch than it does to us. So I feel for them first, but I would have liked to shot at the final. I was just sure. Yeah, it would have been nice if it came home. Who's your club? I mean, what are you root for? I'm an Everton fan. Oh, wow. Sure. Where's that? We don't weigh much either. What is the Everton? The Tim Howard? I believe so. Tim Howard, yeah. Oh, okay. You guys the Everton Tim Howard? Yeah. I like the Everton Howard. That's my squad. Actually, no, they stink. No chance against Liverpool. Oh, okay. But they got Jeff Bezos. That's not fair. Yeah, they just got the richest guy on earth to jump into their ownership. Good luck to all parties over there from my understanding. What's about? Yeah. So I know about now. We're not going to go though. Oh, it sounded like you wanted to though. Oh, you're a diver right there. That's really you're a dabbling there for a little bit. They're antagonizing me. They're antagonizing me talking about Liverpool. I'm not going to let it happen. Come and affect me. Look at you. Here an adult. Look at you. The restraint, the discipline. This is what professional golfers look like. I mean, at least they'd be the piss out of Bernlee and JJ Watts boys every year at least. Did you hear it? Maybe give the boy a little bit of help there. JJ's team's only done gone this way. Oh, yeah. Since we've been there. But in Spain, huh? Sure. Yeah. All right. They got that drinking wrong that night. That's Daniel. There it is. We know these teams. Pittsburgh Riverhound's smack everybody. Nobody wants to play again. So let's get back to golf, please. As all me fleet would realize is it's never coming home. Please go ahead, Tony. Yeah, told me obviously we know the change to this year is that in the final that we're not starting with minus 10 and the guy who's ranked first versus minus two if you're ranked 10th or whatever. And it's just flat out to start the final. There's been talk. I believe from Mr. Rolap the future commissioner that it could be a head-to-head tournament potentially for the final. What are your thoughts on that and what are your thoughts and where it's come to this year where everyone's starting even par to start the tournament or start the final. Yeah, I think everybody's starting on a, you know, playing once ornament and everybody's starting to live in playing field is, I mean, it's a nice feeling. I mean, challenge anybody to give Scottie Schaeffler a ten-shot head start, and then see if they can catch him. So it's nice that you're starting on that level playing field and it being once ornament. It'll be interesting to see where it goes. I think Brian's like definitely very forward thinking and I think the game and the tour are evolving all the time and he's being very proactive with that. So we'll see. I think it's changed a lot like the FedEx Cup and the playoffs finals and the formats have changed a lot over the years and I'm sure he's going to change again and we'll see. But yeah, it's hard to know where he's going. Head-to-head might be cool. People might love that on TV. So yeah, we'll see if we get the chance to do that like in the near future. We'd love head-to-head to be loved to watch a little head-to-head action because anytime we see the, you know, the rider cup or any of these other cups that take place and head-to-head is like meaningful golf, feels like we get to see the real competitive spirit out of you guys, you know? Yeah, okay. Because you guys are always head-off. Great work. You just kicked my ass. I got to shake your hand and then head-to-head it's like you want to try to kill a guy. Yeah, we like that. Strong feedback. I like it. Any thoughts, final thoughts on Liverpool having Bezo says the new owner? Yeah. I mean, they've probably got a lot of money. I know, we'll see. I think it's great having like a, I'm having a rich owner. They still got a, I mean Liverpool is such a successful club aren't they? I mean, they're Everton's biggest rival. I don't know. We'll see. It literally happens today, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think so. Within the last 24 hours, and who knows if it's gone completely through, we all saw the same tweet. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we'll see where that goes. I don't know. I can't, I can't honestly wish that he does a great job for the football club, but you know, all the best. Yeah, all the best. And still going to Amazon some shit that has. All right, I appreciate that. You're the best, Tommy. Good luck. Remember, we need thanks guys. Maybe, you know, yeah, good one. Brick wall first. Yeah. Yeah, let's put the best good. County. Have the County put the palm up. Yeah. Run to a brick wall. Oh, yeah. It's an American way. Yeah, we appreciate that. It's Tommy Fleewer. Yeah. Oh, I like that. Good lot. Is the county allowed to touch the golfer whenever they're golfer? It's a good question. No way. That's gotta be against the rules. I mean, be a pretty good little game. Someone should try it though. You just held somebody's for it. Or just it sits right behind them and swings their hips for them. Their hips are a little, you know, a little tight that day. Or helps you swing, like gives you some momentum on the fact. Yeah, throw that club. I'm on golf in this weekend. Yeah, how did it go? I heard 7/3 AM tea time. What? That's early. Yeah. How many holds do you play? Did you make it on time? Or were you signed autographs for volunteers? So we referring to. I don't know. I had to be getting swarmed. I don't know. I don't know what that is referring to. But I will say, oh, okay. You know, Tony, Tony's pretty star guy. Jesus. They're talking about golf still. Yeah. Wow. You can go ahead and just chalk that up to maybe I was right. Let's move along. Blocky was ejected, disqualified. What? He walked off. He showed a couple seconds late and they find them two things. He said it was. He was just taking photos. He was signing too many autographs. It wasn't his shot. Shot of 45 on the front. We've all been there. Actually, I was there this week. I think that is what I when he was late to the 10th day. No, to his seat time because he was taking pictures, two, you know, with the staff there. So he's assessed the two stroke penalty, plays like shit on the front nine. And then on poll 12 or 13, he just packs it up and say, don't fuck this. I'm leaving. Doesn't tell anybody. Doesn't tell his playing partners. Just kind of just exit stage, right? This is what's being reported. Yeah. Now we did blocky did fire back. Yeah, don't believe everything you read on social media. Yeah. I was not necessarily thrilled. Yes. I was a couple of seconds late to my tea time got caught up taking pictures for volunteers first time in my career and completely my fault. Yes, I did tell my playing partners this that I was withdrawing. I strongly recommend certain social media accounts from reporting false information. Which there's a lot of these days. And I'm done with it. I'm still a block. Me too. I am still a blockhead as well. And there had to be something that went on there. Yeah. Now with that being said, 7 30 AM T time at the firestone all fours over there. Hey host a bunch tournaments there. Tiger Woods. Has played there. There's a plaque on one of the holes from where Tiger Woods. I guess he had a pitch black shot into the green and end up winning or something like that. Tiger Woods also airmailed the ninth green and hit the clubhouse and put it into the front parking lot. Okay. Nice. I know that because I did the same. Sure. Oh, they said I was seeing that one of those guys working there. Things they was Tom haven't seen. That's his Tiger Woods. There's three guys searching for my ball in front of the clubhouse on the other side. Thing hit seven bounces in a patio. So I hit a cart path bang into their patio bang off a table in a patio. Boom. Clean bounce. Another one bang. Boom. Up over the brick up to the front yard. Ended around about the front. Complete airmail. You and Tiger. Did you play it from out there? Pick that thing. Who did that? Sure. We're my hot dog. That's what I did. But it was a blast out there, man. It really was. It was a phenomenal weekend at for celebrating the Hall of Fame. It was also a great weekend. For Hunter Henry sounds another message. Yeah. Congratulations. Yeah. I remember one in New England Patriot. He stumped like $700 million into two tight ends. Hunter Henry was one of them. Now Hunter Henry is going to remain a New England Patriot. He's locked in for another two-year deal. You guys love him up there. It seems like he is the epitome of this new generation of the patch trying to get back to the old pets. Yeah. Love him. He was kind of part of the rookie year. Mac Jones kind of made him really, really good. Brought us back to the playoffs and then he's kind of stuck with us through over the years. Has it's been bad and now great again. He is kind of the safety valve for Drake made probably going to be a huge year for Hunter Henry with Eli Rairden being the rookie tight end. Him kind of mentoring him in the room out of Notre Dame. Great player so far. And then also having AJ Brown, Keishan Booty Romeo dobs. It should open up a bit for Hunter Henry. He might have a career year. New England Patriots might be all the way back. AJ and I know nobody really wants to talk about that because as Venetary Ferdinum, the Mass Holes are very loud as a fan base, especially if their teams could. They just lost in a soup bowl last year. Way ahead of schedule. They are going to be obnoxious and it feels like they only got better. But obviously there's a lot of discussion about what's going on outside the field. Let's talk about what's going on on the field in some other places. Have you seen the Packer's energy on the defensive side? Holy boy. You got a fire in your gut tire what? Yeah, I mean, you know, if I didn't, if I had reservations about Jonathan Ganon, you know, coming into the season, like, I really didn't want them to hire this guy. I would have loved him to keep Jeff Hathley. This is all I need to see. This guy's got fire in his gut. He's jacked up. He's chest bumping everybody. I love it. And I think he is going to, unfortunately, he'll probably only be in Green Bay for, you know, one to two years. And then he's going to get another head coaching job because this defense is going to be fast, they're going to be physical, they're going to be hungry. They're going to be everything you need to be to go on a Super Bowl. I love Jonathan Ganon. Love him. AJ, the Packer Stadium being packed out for the night practice was absurd. The Pittsburgh Steelers obviously have a legendary fan base as well. You know, some people even say like AFC's Green Bay Packers is the Pittsburgh Steelers because how they fill up every stadium you go to. I'll tell you what's a little bit different. This training camp night practice, Green Bay had 50 some thousand there watching this practice as Matthew Goldin hits a deep, deep ball from Jordan Love. AJ, has it always been like that over there? Yeah, it has. It's called a family night scrimmage where it's usually like the first Friday of during camp. It's, I was there nine years. I think it was sold out every single year. It's awesome. Big fireworks show at the end. It's truly like a family night. If you see some players came out holding their kids, I believe coming from the tunnel, all of that stuff. Yeah, it's, it really like encapsulates what Green Bay is. And so, Zambele fireworks afterwards, obviously, that's absolute insanity. But is the whole entire Lambo museum area opened up as this is like kind of a signature offseason event that everybody just kind of locks in as a welcome back to football because 50 some thousand people come into a glorified practice is absolutely absurd. So is it a full event all day, kind of for everybody or what? I believe I mean, training camp in general in Green Bay, everything's open up. They're running tours through the pro shop to the, through the Hall of Fame all day, every day through Lambo field. So yeah, it's, I think some people make like the pilgrimage to Green Bay and they stay there for a couple of weeks during camp. What was it? 450 million? What was their number? Who from the league? The real estate event? Yeah, 450. That sound. That was 250 from the real estate. I think it was 450. They were getting from the league for revenue right? Yeah. And then their books whenever all the negotiations were going on with public because they're publicly owned or whatever. How much money they're making off of real estate was like 200 million plus in Green Bay Wisconsin. It's like how the, how are you making that much money? It's like, oh, they own everything up there. Yeah. Holy hell, you get a little ice cream. That's who's getting that Green Bay Packers. Yeah, she can certainly get a little smoothie at the frozen tundra. That's coming right back here to the Jeep. I mean, it does feel like that in the city and the team are more one than maybe anywhere else. And that's special stuff. I saw a lot of people on the air and I was saying, all right, nothing else to do. What? Whatever. Who cares? They are there. They are there. Well, it's not, it's not just, it's not 50,000 people from Green Bay that went to it like people are, like AJ said, people are traveling from everywhere to come do this. Like, but we've been there there, there is nothing else to do there other than go to Packers Games. I mean, that's kind of how the Midwest is. And the Oside of the. Yeah, the oh, not a casino. Oh, not a casino. Obviously, love them quickly as we have about a minute beforehand. Maybe the Dodgers aren't going to ruin baseball. They suck. Oh, yeah, they have not been playing well, but it doesn't matter, but I mean, they're going to be locked and loaded once the playoffs start. I heard Tigers are good and Dodgers think since the trade, yeah. So it turns out, you know, the Tigers just need a nice firm little kick in the ass to get them going. They got that. And I think this is the Dodgers knowing, hey, we're so much better than everybody. We can lose our next 30 games. And it doesn't matter. I like that. Oh, pack that one. Yeah, that's the weird. If we can maybe get that thing to terminate, we get a little Ken Burns, oh, pack it back on it. Josh Schmidt, as he's chit chat about the biggest story in baseball, which is, is baseball dead after this year, if the Dodgers win, it's going to be hard for at least a year. But if they suck, maybe baseball keeps on turning and we all get to enjoy the hell out of big dongs happening every night. Let's go red talk. Let's go parts. Go bananas. That's what I'm talking about. Fuck you, deep butt. Fuck those are dead. And on that, I hope you guys have a positive day. I mean, the way they said it, not the greatest, but be a friend, tell friends, I'm nice to my change your life. We'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye. Boy, it's just a high note on a way out. Well, you just said, let's go pirates and you just can't do that right now. Well, I feel the only team that can take down the Dodgers, okay, we need them to go all the way. We all up here, especially you need to be cheering for the Boston Reds. No chance. They're bad. They hurt. They don't. They're very hurt, but, you know, the red socks have one, what, 30 of their last 34 games. There's still behind the Yankees, so that should kind of tell you where they were at. That's not true. We passed them over the weekend. You guys are still behind us because you lost yesterday, so do we see that? But you lost yesterday, too. Yeah, look, we got 66 wins and 52 losses. Oh, let's go. You guys got 64. You guys got less wins and more loss. Yeah, raise cookie, huh? Yeah, raise your humble leave. Yeah, the, the raise don't ever lose. And that is, that would be the one thing in terms of, like, if they could go in, yes, that would kind of pierce the, the brewers. Yeah, every argument would just be, like, because they don't spend any fucking money. So it's like if they can go in, then everything that the owners are kind of, are trying to say it's for not. In the NL Central, there's a little bit of movement down there. I don't know if you guys saw it. Whoa. Huh? I don't know if a certain college football, uh, analyst has any thoughts on the reds being fucking deadlass in the NL Central, just like we thought, uh, Pittsburgh buckles on the way up. By the way, on the way up, Skino is going to be just fine. We've unfortunately lost six straight series since the, uh, all star break, they haven't lost the game since the old star break. Yeah. Kind of, yeah, kind of a tale. Two stories there. And in the mids, still dealing, I said, oh, yeah, spinning it and we'll continue. Clemens get in a home run off. And I saw that Rodgers kid. Yeah. Oh, it's just gonna feel good for dad. Oh, wait. You buddy also knows if you just make contact with this fucking thing, if you just touch, it, it'll go. And I like that you do just, let's maybe just half swing. It's just fucking make contact. The ball will literally go out of itself. And that's what's happening. Why did you say it? It's fucked up. What? What is that? Miz is just awesome. He is. He is. Great picture. It's fucked up, man. Why is that fucked up? Because you know why. Why? Here we know who the Miz is. The real Miz. Yeah. The Miz are asking. Yeah. No, the picture. Go to win a sayon. Guys, it is. You're trying to start with mine. I don't know if you saw. Did you see Friday night SmackDown? Oh, there's the mic. Boom. Boom. People love the mic. Shout out to Big Dom, by the way. Yeah. And Davo. Shout out to Davo and Big Dom. Davo was the guy with Big Dom at home. There we go. Yeah. He was also with Big Dom as the mic signs were just seen all over the place. And then I don't know if you followed on the internet. Did you follow on the internet? I saw. But you know, I never know what's real. It's been reported that WWE is followed trademark patent for the mic. Yeah. You know, let's call him and see what's going on with the mic. I also saw another tweet on the internet about win lost records. For the mic. Was that real? For who? I saw the mic. He was the pop of the list. He led the league in losses over the last like 15, 20 hours. What league? All the leagues? Yeah, all the leagues. Every single one. WF, ATW, G-C-W-I-E-W-K-1. Oh, K-1. I was good fighting back in the day. Yeah. O-C-W. How about the mic? Not answering. What's that all about? It's probably losing. Sure. The mic jumped ahead of WWE and got the, you know, violence for that before them. That's funny. Kirk Herb Street says he's still loving some food. Okay. I'm in Peter just falling asleep to these things doesn't mean you're on it. I hope to stay on board with soccer. Me too. We're gonna. You do hope. You do hope. This is from Chan the Man, Chan Drain the Man, WWE Rethers with the Most Losses in WWE history. A current cane had a lot of else. Brooklyn Brawler, they sent his ass out there to make a lot of people look good. Dolph Ziggler? Geez, Louise. The amount of over others were because of him. Yeah. Dylan Randy was the most televised matches in the history. Kofi Kingston. He was World Champion. Remember? Yeah. Big show. Where? If you beat the big show. That's a quick way to be, you know, hey, how do we make show, brother? And Shameless are, what's the crack Irish lad brother, 905 losses? Nobody's close to the Miz. Shameless still bringing it? Yeah. He is. You can love that guy. But yeah, Miz, obviously, at the top of it. The Mike. You gotta play the games and lose them. That's the legend right there. It's a legendary list. I agree. Wait until you see the Mike record though. Yeah. That's what the Miz is doing. Wait until he's the Mike. And then I'll be excited to see. Because the Mike, just to me, I don't know how everybody else is feeling. The Mike to me feels like, oh, hi, oh, dad. Yeah. Which is what he is. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So, everything that he actually is, he's been fighting it, you know, for a long time. I'm the best. And I'm also a Lister, yeah, stars of Marine 3, 4, 5, A and Christmas vacation. Glad to host the Marin Glendale. T2 coming soon. Hollywood of 50 plus episodes of Miz and Miz, I'm a reality TV star. Yeah. Real world, obviously, legend. I come. Like he has a lot of these things like he's trying to be. And he just go back to his roots. He needs to just be a high of that. I'm the Mike. And I'm average. Me, man. Yeah. And I'm cool. Yeah. Relatable. Yeah. There it is. There it is. I'm the Mike. And I'm Relatable. And I'm defeated. Mike. Mike. Mike. Mike. Mike. Mike. Mike. Mike. Mike. Mike. I have filed for a trademark. That's actual. What are they thinking over there? They know. They see the stardom. What if they're like, wait a minute, the Miz is the best picture in baseball this guy. maybe we should celebrate the hell out of that, while also honoring what could be, which is the mock. - In that business, that's the right thing to do. - On what they do. - I mean, can you imagine going into the riders room and all of a sudden the mic wins the next 400 matches? And I mean, that's, that's storytelling. - And what we know about the mic, you could put 'em through 400 matches over the next three, four weeks. - No problem. - And they'll be there. - He will, won the AJ. - Smile on his face. - He'll be selling it too, we know that. - That's 'cause he's good. Oh, hard workin', humble, gritty. - Grinder, from the beginning, mock, the mock. - Underfeet. - He is underfeet. - Exactly. - Can't believe he didn't answer. - They could have, I can't believe it didn't beat W to it. - You're right, AJ. - Might be a little longer than tooth. - What do you mean? - He's gotta beat, he's been total minutes for what? - A month, months now? - True. - He let W W beat your tooth. - Yeah, but he's in denial. - True. - Until now, probably. - Is he gonna answer this or no? - Right. - If he doesn't answer his show's over. - Okay. - This is on the mic. - He might be trying to-- - Where's Roy at? - Sorry. - Okay. - Is it? - I don't know. (laughing) - It's random, much better if it was. (laughing) - Maybe it's fucking August 10th. - Looks like there's a no-folk Virginia. - Probably real cool. - I don't think that's exactly how you say that. - Hmm. - I thought they are with Silent. But there is Saffo and No-folk. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I believe that is how that is pronounced down there. Virginia, August 10th, that arena's gonna be hot. - Calm. - Yeah. - That arena's gonna be hot tonight. - I thought it'd be a Saudi though. - I'll tell you, Kent was pretty hot. - Yeah. - Kent was hot and thick. It was very, very thick over there in Ohio. I must say. - There's a number one contender's tournament tonight. - What? - Is the mic in it? - Penta versus the Lorenzo kids. It's the first round. - What? - Lorenzo kid? - Yeah. - Fuck that. - Lorenzo kid, I heard he trains by running miles while pushing sleds, which would be similar to what my man Bibohausen accomplished this weekend. Stephen Bibohausen and his baby ran a 417 mile. And if you look at the baby, I don't know how old, maybe 6, 7, 8, 9 months, I think you'd be better. - Wow. - I think baby ran every single step as well. Baby's got a lot of juice. I don't know if there was rain or wind or what that baby's seeing the entire time. But I do know Mr. Bibohausen is running a shit out of this mile with his baby. And I certainly respect it. I appreciate it. But I mean, that's a fast time to be running a mile. The length of them pushing something. I heard the internet father was potentially that he's leaning on it and taking some weight off. It's like, all right, well, what happens when her seal is there? There's certainly a little added extra weight. I respect this move by the Bibohausen family and baby Bibohausen. - Yeah. What? - What a jackass. - What? - What? - She's running on your own. - I feel bad for baby. I feel like he's having a great time. - That's right. - That one clip, you're telling me over that entire time that baby was doing that. There's no way. - Baby's love getting put in place. - Throw it behind the truck, too. - Mm-hmm. - That's cheap. - What? - I'm that's cheap and the truck is-- - Are you ever going to do it? - He's drafting. - Exactly. He's drafting. He's got wheels. His guys. - Word on it. - He might as well be up there with poor little tink tink. - I'm impressed with Bibohausen. - I don't think it's-- - I don't think it's right. - We're not impressed by 4/17 mile while pushing a baby at what? - Absolutely. I think this is how it gets started. - You would assume that's a great question. - This is a look at me. - That might not be real baby. - It is baby Bibohausen, for my understanding. - Okay. - Okay. - Is it dad and baby Bibohausen memory that they'll have forever? - That is real baby. - No, no, baby will not register that. - That looks like AI. - That's nice. - That's not a real baby. - Yeah, that's baby Bibohausen, dude. Dad's running a 4/17 mile, pushing a stroller. You don't think baby's gonna have a little bit of juice? - I'd be a damn battery. - That doesn't look-- - Motorizing. - Yeah, it's not going to be right. - That's a fall. - That's a fall. - Bibohausen is never falling. What are we talking about? This guy's 4/17 mile. We are celebrating Steven. I am at least. - That's not Bibohausen. - Steve Bibohausen. - That's also-- - Babyhausen. - Let's take a trip to the Little League World Series softball championship. There's a one team from North Carolina, I do believe, that had two golden gloves in one inning. Okay, line drive out center. And on the way out of here. Boom! - Wow! - Yeah, nice sliding snap. - That's a hell of a play. - Out of the Little League softball world series. Great classes. Love everything about it. Good ground. Also in that inning, after we see the slow mouth of the slot in that inning. A web gem spectacle. Go on, you get out of town. - Stolen, I'd say, steaks the glove in under the ball. Good sprint, good read, good glasses, good moxie. Great touch, keep the glasses on the face. Yes, good work out there. - Good job. - I say incredible play. I respect the hell out of that play. First one, look like maybe did the slide just to make it a little easier. Full out effort sprint into saving it. Great play by them. You could tell that they focus on the field, you know, in practice, and that's a win-to-championship style. - That's a good point, especially in these terms, where it seems like one team plays good defense always, and the other team has loads and loads of errors. So usually the team plays a good clean game defensively. They're going to win, and it looks like they did. - And it looks like it's packed out there. AJ, do you know anything about this more than us because your kids are probably near this age here? - I don't know, a whole lot about it because my daughter did not play softball, but yeah, these girls can play, we know that. - Well said, well said, AJ. - I don't know exactly what you want me to add to the world, but yeah, amazing. Two very, very good plays, you could say. - Where do they play that? Greenville, South Carolina. - Okay, it's awesome as the spectacle is sold out right there. A couple of amazing plays. Shout out to Little League Sports, continue and do it, and also shout the Norway doing stuff that we'd expect. Death Diving's back, 'cause it ain't no show. - Yeah, you got to break the water with your face. - And obviously, go ahead and bust yourself out. And obviously they are judged on how death defying they're diving is each time, and anytime the Ocho's cooking, you got the dunk, and you got white people throwing themselves in the water in various different ways. I appreciate the death diving. That one had to be the winner, but the full send right into the face right there might have been the winner. I don't know what all the judges are looking for, but whatever you need, they have for you from a very high 33 foot. - Wait, was that black dude? - I thought you just run that back. - I think there is a black dude coming up here who does a bunch of flips. - Oh, yeah, that's it. - Play him. - Play. - Next one. - Yep. - I'm thinking I right here. - I can't. - I don't know if I'm just putting my eyes on this event. I'm saying this is a Caucasoid event. I am saying, look at that, there it is. Now, oh my God. - Yeah, that guy's really going right here. - Yeah, all right. We appreciate them doing that. - Shout out. - Oh, they all got tens, or do you not want a ten? - I don't know, I don't know. - C-T. - Speaking of a ten, did you see Schwarbo showcase some athleticism? - Let me get over it. Get over it, it's not a pickle actually. I'm just gonna, ah, totally. - Yep. - Yeah. - And, that's me. - You're out, you're out. - Line of backer. - Yeah. - And then we get up. - That's so high on middle line back. - Mm-hmm. - Kirk Herb Street, or I forget who it was, sent us and said, hey, this guy could have been big four conference, power four conference line backer, if you want to, and said he just hits bombs and chase people, done. Look at those little legs going, AJ, you got to be proud of that Ohioan right there. - Yeah, middle-town middies, that's where he played in high school. Same high school as Chris Carter. So, yeah, he was an absolute stud. I mean, I heard about Schwarbo from when he was a young lad, back in Dayton, playing football, and baseball. - I like the tap there too, like, hey, yeah. - Yeah, gotcha. - Gotcha. - Yeah, just me. - He wanted him to turn back around, and he'd think he got released, and Schwarbo would have absolutely lowered his shoulder when he went through the guy. - Oh, right through his chest, like-- - That's what he's hoping. He's hoping he turns back. - Like, we saw the Seattle Seahawks running back coach talk about. This is tag off, but we need the lower shoulder run through chest, so that they know that we are tagging and getting the hell out of the way. I don't know if any base runners are going to want to try to outrun Schwarbo or run through Schwarbo. But remember, this is what this way looked like as a high schooler. - Yeah. - This way, look like-- - Yeah, jeez. - That's still in there somewhere. - Oh, dog. - Still in it, not smiling either. - No. - Game face. - See this cowboy collar? - I ain't breaking my neck, but I am trying to break yours. - That's what that thing actually says. - That's right. - Now he's chasing people down as they're trying to steal second place. - See, he hit a bomb. - He's hitting absolute bombs. I always pick him and others for my home run and that thing, and it never really comes through. - He hit two yesterday. - This guy's hot. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Back to back. - AJ, I like what you're doing. I mean, since the night of reds are the worst team in baseball, but you were able to call when one of them is going to hit a home run, especially whenever there's like a, hey, if your bet doesn't hit a bonus bet, back, AJ, we've been very appreciative of your baseball knowledge over there. - Oh, yeah, South Stewart, Ellie Dela Cruz, they both have come through for me. And the reds, we were on a bit of a hot streak, so we had to cool down a little bit, let the rest of the division catch up, but yeah, we know that the World Series runs through the NL Central, so it's very, everyone keeps beating up on each other. - That's true. - Right. - I hope. - Yeah, this probably just shut him down for the rest of the season. - I was going to say kind of a two little, two late. - Who's in a bomb tonight? - Shall I? Is he playing? - Uh-huh. - B-C-A. - Is he playing? - I don't know. - Cubs don't play tonight. - I think their boss is going to go yard skiing. - Cubs don't play, man. - Cubs don't play, okay. - A breakthrough. - The socks in Toronto. - Okay, set down. - Royals ad Dodger. - Scoops is going tonight, so his second starter believe. Have you guys seen the big fights I've been going on? Where at? - No, not just in the square circle. Not just in the boxing ring. - Yeah. - Not in the octagon. - Okay. - They're happening a trade again. - What? - Yeah. - I don't know if you saw in Cleveland, big scrap. New verse, "Fenough, left tackle." Huh? Huh? Lose his helmet, body slam, on top of him. Never want to be the guy without a helmet in the middle of the pile for no massive man. No verse takes him down. He was obviously a part of the trade that sent Miles Garrett out to the Los Angeles Rams. Fun fact about this one. Just about a week ago, verse and "Fenough," getting extra work after work. - Dude, what does this tell you about the Cleveland Bronx that we've seen a lot of highlights? Now we see some scrap in between some-- - I mean, it's just training camp, you know. You're gonna see highlights, you know. Iron, sharpened iron. - Yeah. - Is what that is right there, pre or post-practice. But look, especially the big guys in those trenches, it gets hot. Some of these days, you got pads on. Some days, you know, fuck it. I don't like it. You push me a little too much, fuck it. We're going to the ground. - Yeah, and sometimes it's a plan by some position groups to get a fight in and make a short and a period. You know, some people are maybe trying to work a period a little bit. Hey, we getting big brawl at the beginning of this thing, probably eats up some time, then obviously we're able to go to the end. So you never know what's a work or what's a shoot. Especially with these two, is they're working together just a couple of weeks ago, but everything can change. We're always so blows. We respect and appreciate that. I'm a Super Bowl MVP. - Ooh. - You hear about this? Get us Walker says, "I don't think so, Elohi." What do you think this is, Paul? This is Tag Off. Oh yeah, well, little Sharpie. Who are you? Bow and tackle and take some down the ground. I can see Hawke's gone. He did shoot for an ankle lock, but they broke him up beforehand before he could get the cleats in there. Kenneth Walker took that thing to the ground and scrum quickly. I like that they're getting a little chippy over there in Kansas City, especially at the Super Bowl MVP AJ. - Yeah, I think this is great. This is a very, very normal fraternity kid. I mean, now the tackle after the ball throw, that doesn't always happen, but you see, I mean, you're tired, you're running, you see he gets a shot as he's like going out of bounds and felt like it's a little harder. I mean, Kenneth obviously lowered his shoulder. He's got to protect yourself as a defender, but yeah, this is a very, very normal. I'm sure they laughed about it later. - This is exactly what the Seattle Seahawks running back coach was talking about. It might be Tag Off, but let's make sure they tag off. And now we are running right through their chest to set a precedent for the rest of camp on what this is. And although he didn't like it, dude. - I like it. I like how Gilman finished the play. AJ mentioned it. You dropped his shoulder on me. Okay, cool. I'm just gonna finish the play and make sure you get out of bounds practicing good habits. So I like this two vets. Once again, middle of the training camp. Is this Gilman's second year? Can't say the first year. Okay, so both first year guys with these teams. So just like first year in Cleveland. So you kind of got to set the tone. - Good crowd up there on the hill. - Oh yeah. - I like the crowd that's up there. I've been liking seven million for that Hall of Fame game. I guess that's more than the NBA on Christmas. - Definitely, especially now. - I guess that's more than the NBA game on Christmas. I think that was like 8.8 or something like that. And they were talking about that viewership being up. So now seven million for the Hall of Fame game. Carson Beckford's Haynes King over 80 points and Rush quarterback rushing towards combined. Hit for us in a Canton Hall of Fame game. I guess numbers are up. I assume this is gonna be Gumpy. This season's gonna be. - The best season yet. - There's a chance. - Well, so it feels like it. - This week could potentially be. - The best week yet. - Thursday and Friday will be the brunch lads. 11 to 1, we will be going live on ESPN. So we start our show an hour earlier on Thursday Friday. Little brunch, huh? - Love it. - Love it. - Love it. - Some of Moses here perhaps? - Oh, maybe some mimosas, drivers. You can have some eggs, but you can also have steak. - What? - Yeah, you can have waffles, but also maybe some chicken. - Okay. - You want a little bacon, that's fine, but also maybe a club sandwich. It's a brunch, you kind of have whatever the hell you need. - That's Thursday, Friday 11 to 1, on ESPN. - That's exciting. - Also, Diary of a Polarizing Figure comes out Thursday at midnight. - Hell yeah. - Tell you what. - Also excited. - I'm very excited about this. - It should be. - It should be. - I'm very, very excited. I'm pumped up about it. I am thankful that it's being wrapped up literally as we speak right now. Final touches, as it's about to be uploaded. So it can be on all platforms. Shout out to all the parties behind the scenes right now working, Ilia and all the incredible musicians down in Nashville, final touches happening, final mixing, final uploading, and there's so many files being transferred. So many emotional stories of mine about to be shared. A couple of bangers in there. - Oh yeah. - I think I got a couple of bangers in there. My words, my melodies, my singing, incredibly talented Nashville people making the music around it. It's been a fun experience, and I do believe, I do believe we have a song on there for everybody. - Okay. - There's a song on there for everybody. - Okay. - Now that, what order is it gonna go in? - Good question. - Oh, that, none of that stuff has been figured out yet. - Well yeah, I mean, I'm figuring out in real time right now. - But you don't have the track list locked and loaded as right now. - No, I do not. - Okay, nice. I like that. - Is that the official album cover? That's a big-- - No, we don't know that either yet. - Okay. - Okay, we don't know what is any of that. We'll find out Thursday night. Midnight, as we make those decisions already, for sure. - I like that. - Song I'd added, like what, three days ago. Wrote it like a week ago. It's like, let's add this, this needs to be in there. Something needs to be said. Then some of the songs I wrote when I'm like 20 years old. So I mean, there is a lot of, you know, range in my life. I feel like that you get a chance to hear from me and how I was talking to myself in those moments and things that I thought in observations and little shit's being talked in there. I will say, you know, somebody's got to gash you up and might as well be yourself in your notes section. And then there's some perspective stuff, I think. There's some deep shit in there. I honestly am excited to hear people's reactions to this. I think it's gonna be a little bit different than what everybody thinks. You know, I think it's gonna be a little bit different than what everybody thinks. And I'm incredibly grateful for the people in Nashville who helped it all come to life. And yeah, Thursday night, midnight, crazy. - Let's go, we'll be there. - Here we fucking go. - Here we fucking go, lots. Here we fucking go, AJ. - It's been the first time you thought of, I've put an album out, like 20 years ago or recently. - No, I just wrote, I was just wrote, wrote, wrote. And then what I told Jelly Roll and Tug that I have like 20 songs in my notes section that I gotta find out if they suck or not at some point. Then he introduced me to Ernest. Ernest introduced me to Seth at Big Loud and then kind of just start chit chat and learning the process. Put Duky out as like a, hey, what would this, what is the, I don't know, nothing about music. What is the process of music? Put Duky out, so kind of like learn what the process is. And obviously that's a hilarious song to put out as like the first one, you know, like, hey, yeah, here's the song and everybody's like, okay, he's making, he's making 14 to 15 more Dukies. It's like vastly different songs than Duky, but there's still some similarities in there, but learn that process through there. So then it's been since, it's been like a couple of years, probably a year and a half process here, a piece of it all together, doing it all. Learning my singing voice, that's been fun. Shout the coach, Gaiton, you're doing a little work with her, you know, (imitates guitar) doing all that stuff, you know, we're running the, we're running the vocal cords from down here up to here. And maybe even tapping in here, if we need to, we want a couple and tail into these songs. So it's been fun, man, 'cause obviously you're talking voice and you're singing voice aren't the exact same. And I think whenever people hear my singing voice, they're gonna be like, holy shit, it's repeatable. I'm excited to do it live. I'm excited to do all this live, which is really the only reason why I made any of it. Just have a good time. It's actually one of the names of the songs. Good times. That's all we're looking for. How are you? Hey, man. Hey, fucking man. Hey, man. What was Vinnie all about with the ball's joke? It played. It certainly. Yes, it did. Maybe you wrote that for him.

And his daughter, I mean, it was just cool to see it all. And his family from South Dakota, I never met. A lot of people from South Dakota came out there. High school, I think I made a couple videos for a couple of South Dakota high schools to beat shit at everybody else. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, I'm on board with a couple of teams out there. I don't know exactly who they are at this moment, but just know that they're gonna win. They gotta have been Terry on their team. And Vinnie being a kicker going in, you don't feel like it's such a big deal. And then you hear everybody try to justify why kickers going in. Right. Oh, this is a big deal. Yeah, it's huge.

It's high school athletes from around the country competing for $225,000 scholarship. So we used to have the presidential fitness kind of thing. Yep. I can never get it 'cause the blue box, I couldn't touch my toes. So I never win it. B-C-E-V. So now, I believe they're what they're trying to bring back is like a athletic player. competition amongst the high schools best from around the country to win a scholarship. I like it, can I look like a little global gut to America, glad to hear that? - Yeah, glad to hear that. - That was emergency right there. - The Ninja Warrior? - Yeah, I think all of them combined. - I think Disney and ESPN are currently broadcasting them and it's called the Patriot Games.

Anything that's rewarding that stuff is good 'cause I'm seeing a lot of these young e-bikers. - Yeah, lazy fat arrogant. - I mean, aren't these bikes, I think just since bikes have been created and you look at the Peloton Fad that kind of took over, bikes like naturally create leg muscles, like for kids, like you don't even really know, you're naturally creating leg muscles, which is why all of these olds love doing it 'cause it's like a workout that they know how to do and it crushes it. None of these youngs are doing anymore 'cause they're all just turning the throttle. It's like, well, it's gonna happen harder. There's gonna be a bunch of squids. These kids are just gonna look like a bunch of octopus. - Oh, probably. - It's gonna happen to these legs. We need these legs to get like, the e-bikes need to be banned from these teenagers. - I agree. - I'm done with it. We're creating problems. You know how many e-bikers are gonna be in this Patriot Games when these? - None, you're not. - None, nope. - None of them. - These kids need to earn this shit. - Should be 65 and up to buy one. - So at least 21. - At least 50. - I'm okay with 18. I just wanna let everybody know. I'm strictly an 18, just let 'em. But these kids gotta be, you know. - Get a dino and do some tricks. Get some pegs on the front. - Sure, a hair roll. - Well, mom goes, yeah, to the-- - Oh yeah, mom goes, yeah. - Make sure the brake course don't connect to you. - Yeah, you know what I'm saying? - Yeah, you're gonna get more. - I'm gonna do a lean, lean, lean, lean. - That you grind it, grind it, grind it, yeah. - That's why I just did that. - You heard it? - Yeah. - Hey, you see me here? - You see me here right now? - Here, we did all the time. - It's not that hard over here. - Do you see what I'm doing right now? - Yeah, digs grind it, reels it. - Is he gonna do it right now? - Yeah, he's gonna do it right now. - He's gonna do it right now. - Yeah, come on! Come on! Yeah, that's what I'm doing there. Everyone's gonna just, yeah, let's fuck this one up. Boom! - Little toe. - Yeah, good times. - Oh, yeah. - Stand on the back, stand on the back on the, there you go, there you go, there you go, there you go. - Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. - It's mashing lightning both and fast. - Oh, shit. - Oh, fuck. - God, now these kids just do, do, do, do, do. - I used to pin a card, like a playing card to the back spoke, so it's not like a motorcycle. - Yeah. - A flat pin. - Oh, what was your, yeah, all the losers that are distracted that? - I know, yeah. I never got to do it. - There's a lot of things that a lot of people did. The playing card in spokes was certainly one. How about the dice? - Yup. - The dice matter. - I'm an air cap thing. - Did you have the plastic thing that were on the, the wheel pegs or the wheel spokes, too, that when you rode around and made the noise, like they're all different colors, do you have those, too? - Yeah, you did, AJ, the little beads. - Yes, thank you. - I'm like, oh, yeah. - Told you that. - No, he had beads. (blows) (laughing) - Did he butt in? - That's old school. That's old school. (laughing) - That is old. - Yeah, I do. - I don't know, like the new school, too. - No, the new school is these kids don't even pedal. They sit there and turn their hand like this. I'm worried about what it's going to do for society. Like, actually, I think we are not worrying about that enough. I think natural leg muscles are built by walking at least, or riding a bike. And then you go, like, what? Can your olds on these little e-bikes? It's like, some of these things I'm seeing way too young to be on there. It's like, you should have to fucking earn both those wheels moving. And they don't. There was a pack of kids in my neighborhood on Saturday, and maybe it was Sunday, riding bikes hard. - At bicycles? - Yeah, for like eight hours. - We like that. - Yeah. - Those e-bikes are like five grand. So the people that are going to be affected by them are affected by a lot of other stuff. - Oh, see, I thought they were getting to a price where it was like very-- - I think the ones you're talking about, like, that we had those old e-bikes at the old office, like the really nice-- - Yeah. - There are different ones that are definitely super affordable that like-- - Yeah, come right at that park for your wedding, bro. - Yeah. - I was like, we were at your wedding at that park, and the amount of kids I saw just, well, it was obviously very nice park town. - Nice, sir. - Yeah, it's very nice park town. (laughing) - Nice, nice, it's town of America. - Yeah, all right. Maybe I should be driving it. Okay, it actually was voted nice. - Yeah, it was. - Those kids are gonna have no leg muscles. All right, what's where they have her? Maybe the more things change, more they stay sane. - At least they're outside. - Yeah. They're outside. - Be a friend, telephone, seven nights. It might change in a life. We're in this thing together. We can't thank all of you. - You. - Enough. And if you have any ideas on how the hell we should handle this Friday thing with the album release, we're looking for ideas. Kind of want people to learn about the music on their own, a word. - Sure. - Well, you know, as an independent artist, let's have a good time. Please, let's enjoy this life. We're all very thankful to be here. We love all of you. Thank all of you. And we will see all of you tomorrow. Be a friend, telephone, seven nights. Might change your life. Team on me, team on three.
