And now, ladies and gentlemen. Caged.
0:56
In MMA. Your pants off my balls are
1:01
fucked. This is Cajun MMA.
1:12
And yes ladies and gentlemen, back-to-back weeks it was UFC
1:16
324 and on Saturday it was UFC 325 which featured 2 absolutely
1:24
dominating fights with both the Co main event and main event
1:29
being very one sided fights. In the Co main event, Benoit
1:33
Saint Denis defeated Dan Hooker with a second round TKO winning
1:39
in less than 10 minutes. Former MMA fighter Michael
1:42
Bisping called Benoit the most violent force in the game after
1:48
now winning nine of his last 12 fights.
1:52
Then in the main event, Alexander Volkadowski got to
1:55
fight in in his home country, Australia.
1:59
I don't know why you put that as everybody knows and did not
2:02
disappoint, winning by unanimous decision in five rounds against
2:06
Diego Lopez. This is the second time they
2:09
have fought in the last 10 months, Volkanowski winning last
2:13
year in a closer fight before handling Lopez easily in UFC
2:18
325. Volkanowski now has 8
2:20
championship win fighting fights at one 45145 lbs, tying him with
2:27
Jose Aldo for the most ever at that way.
2:32
You know, it's so great, it's so great.
2:35
First of all, I want to go to the Dan Hooker, the hangman
2:39
versus, you know, I believe, and I'll say this, Saint Denis is, I
2:46
don't know if he's the most violent, but he's the most
2:48
prettiest to watch, OK? Cuz this guy can take you down
2:52
and dominate you on the ground as good as anybody.
2:55
And Dan Hooker came out with the great game plan, throwing those
2:58
front kicks, keeping them away, using his power, pressing on.
3:03
I believe Saint Denis because Saint Denis didn't understand
3:07
how powerful Dan Hooker is. And now you watch Dan Hooker.
3:10
He's big, long, lengthy, but he has heavy throws and heavy
3:14
punches. You don't really see him throw
3:16
as many kicks. But in this fight he had a great
3:19
game plan. And I thought at the tail end of
3:22
the first round St. Danny took over.
3:24
And after he took over at the tail end of the first round, the
3:28
the violence started to happen in the early second round where
3:31
St. Danny just completely dominated
3:33
Dan Hooker. He did ripped Dan hookers top of
3:36
his forehead at the tail end of the round and and you could see
3:40
that Dan Hooker wasn't as confident going into the second
3:44
round like he did in the first round.
3:46
It, it was, it was to me after the first round, I thought he,
3:50
he gave his best start of the fight.
3:53
I think he gave the best press that he can give to Saint Denny.
3:56
As soon as St. Denny got comfortable, Jake, you
4:00
saw that he started taking over the fight.
4:02
Then he started taking him down and dominate him on the ground.
4:04
I how many times did we see Dan Hooker try to put him in a
4:08
guillotine and then try to put him in a dorse?
4:10
He tried so many times in the first round to end the fight as
4:14
quick as he possibly can because as soon as St.
4:17
Denny got comfortable, the fight really went on his side.
4:20
Yeah, I think you're right. I think.
4:22
I think earlier, right at the end of the first round, Dan
4:24
Hooker kind of had his moment a little bit.
4:26
But BSD pretty much had control of that fight as soon as it went
4:30
to the second round. I mean, he was constantly
4:32
looking for the finish. He was doing a great job.
4:34
And I felt so bad for Dan Hooker because poor Herb Dean was
4:37
trying to just let him get slaughtered out there.
4:39
It was it was like a bloodbath. He was just letting him die and
4:42
he's kept letting him take shots.
4:43
But there's one moment in the in the second round I believe is
4:46
when BSD had two different points.
4:49
He had a good like 20 or 30 seconds.
4:52
He had Dan Hooker in the arm and had an arm triangle choke as
4:56
similar to the Arm and Sirkin fight that Dan had at the end of
4:59
the year. And I thought, Oh my God, Dan
5:01
Hooker, he's going to be finished in the same way.
5:03
But he is a tough SOB. You know, he was hanging on for
5:05
a long time. I couldn't believe that, you
5:07
know, BSD didn't sleep him right there.
5:09
But then again, it shows just how tough Dan Hooker is.
5:12
But again, it like you said, it was a great dominant performance
5:15
by BSD. And you know, he, you know, 2024
5:18
wasn't the best year for him, but he's really rebounded last
5:20
year coming into this year strong.
5:22
It's four wins in a row for BSD. And like he said, he wants to be
5:26
he wants to fight for the world title or either for the BMF
5:28
title. So I'd personally give him the
5:31
winner of Charles Oliveira, Max Holloway, you know, after this
5:34
March pay-per-view, because he put on a fantastic performance.
5:37
And obviously we know that Daichi is the interim champion.
5:40
He's probably going to take on Eliot Saporia.
5:42
So I would give him the winner of Charles and and Max Holloway.
5:46
I think that would be a fantastic fight.
5:47
And then you could even throw in Patty Pimblet right down there
5:50
to fight Dan Hooker. And so you could have the other.
5:53
They've have their war online. So I think that's just setting
5:56
up the lightweight division. Great going forward.
5:57
But yeah, excellent performance from Ben Wassanthony.
6:00
He's really, he's really started to come alive.
6:02
He was a young prospect who I think he got a little bit ahead
6:05
of himself when he fought Dustin Poirier.
6:07
Dustin kind of, you know, set him up a little bit for failure.
6:10
But he's rebounded fantastically taking out Dan Hooker, and he
6:13
looks to just keep building off his success.
6:15
Oh, he was fun to watch. I've watched him fight a couple
6:18
of times but I didn't know how dominating he would be in this
6:22
fight against Dan Hooker because Dan Hooker early in the fight he
6:25
he had a couple of straight. Leg kicks that pushed him off
6:29
you could you could see that Saint Denis was hurt early in
6:34
the first round. You could see it he was backing
6:36
up. He didn't want to feel his power
6:38
and Dan started to get confident and almost choked him out.
6:41
He had him in that darts for a second and then Saint Denis got
6:44
out of it and he tried to do it in the second round, early in
6:47
the second round too. And Saint Denis is such a great
6:49
ground fighter. He is as good as anybody we've
6:53
seen the UFC have and this is the best weight class.
6:56
This lightweight division is probably the best best class in
6:59
the UFC right now. The dominant force and Ilia and
7:02
you have Gage of all these guys, Pimlet and now you have St.
7:06
Danny. St.
7:07
Danny is absolutely probably one of the more dominant young play
7:11
fighters that we've seen come out of this way class and out of
7:15
the, the up and coming weight classes that we talk about all
7:18
the time. And we talk about the
7:20
welterweight class for all so many years, it was the most
7:22
dominated class. Now we look at this class and
7:26
how great it is. And, and I'm trying to figure
7:29
out maybe Patty, because he's such a, you know, he he drops
7:32
from 200 lbs to move up into that, that welterweight
7:35
division. He might be a better fighter in
7:37
that welterweight division because dropping as much weight
7:40
as he does, you can see that it drains him.
7:42
And then he goes into a fight where he's gaining 25 lbs, 20
7:46
lbs in a night, eating all that starch and all that stuff.
7:49
It slows him down. I, I think it's too much that
7:52
Patty Pimblet is dropping. When you look at Saint Denis,
7:54
St. Denis, he, he has a smaller
7:57
frame than a Patty Pimblet and he's got more of a gaugey frame.
8:01
But his ability to take you on the ground and just dominate you
8:04
and what he did against Dan Hooker was pretty amazing
8:07
because Dan Hooker is a good fighter.
8:09
This is a guy that doesn't quit. He's he's tough.
8:12
That's why they call him the hangman because he doesn't hang
8:15
out to dry. So and what's great about what
8:18
what I saw, and by the way, this guy's face doesn't RIP.
8:21
I mean, how many elbows did this Saint Denis drop on Dan Hooker's
8:26
face and didn't really RIP his skin?
8:28
It's amazing. I for years I watched Dan
8:30
Henderson and I've seen Dan Henderson get pulverized on the,
8:33
you know, on the mat and, and his face would never RIP.
8:36
I mean, he had fake teeth, but his face would never RIP.
8:39
And I've seen so many fighters. Anderson Silver is another one
8:42
that his face never ripped. And I've seen him get, you know,
8:46
you know, at the tail end of his career get pulverized.
8:49
So when I watch guys like Dan Hooker, not only is he tough,
8:53
he's vicious. And I unfortunately, he walked
8:57
into a guy that wants to be champion.
8:59
He, he told Dayner at the end of the fight, he said, listen, I, I
9:03
jumped from 12:00 to 8:00. Now I'm ready to fight #1 So let
9:07
me jump a couple of spots. I want to be champion.
9:09
So it, it says a lot about who he is.
9:11
He's a French kid that really believes in his talent.
9:15
This is a guy I was a soldier in the French army.
9:18
I it's, you know, when you look at guys that have grown so many
9:22
times in such a short time, a guy like Saint Denis is one of
9:26
those guys that four fights in a row in a weight class, it's very
9:30
hard to compete in. He definitely deserves a chance.
9:33
I I think you're right. Whoever wins the Oliveira fight
9:37
in Max Holloway, I think he should fight and that should set
9:40
him up for a championship fight. Whoever wins the White House
9:43
fight with between him and Gage, but I think obviously with the
9:47
UFC and Dana White, he loves Patty Pimlet and Pimlet really
9:51
didn't lose his spot. He's still there at #3 or #4
9:55
right now. So he had, even though he got
9:57
his butt whipped by Gagey a week before, he's still sitting in
10:01
the same spot he was went before the fight, before the after the
10:05
last fight he fought against Gagey.
10:07
So very interesting. And then there's the Alexander
10:10
Volkanovsky fight. Now, I thought Diego Lopez was
10:13
going to come out differently, more, you know, aggressively.
10:17
He didn't. Volkanowski, it took him a
10:20
little while. His timing came later in the
10:23
rounds, but you have to beat the champion and even in the first
10:27
round, even though it was close first round, I think Volkanowski
10:31
did enough against Lopez where there was no way he was going to
10:34
lose that round. He he won the round. 8:50 I, I
10:37
kind of slowly but surely started to, to score the rounds.
10:41
There is only one round that I thought that Lopez won and that
10:45
was the third round. That was the only round I
10:48
thought Lopez won. If the fourth round he did not
10:50
win, the fifth round he did not win, the second round he did not
10:54
win. I it was just, to me, what makes
10:57
Alexander Volkanowski one of the greatest fighters I've ever seen
11:00
come out of the UFC is his footwork.
11:04
His footwork is some of the best footwork I've ever seen.
11:07
When you watch boxers, you watch like Shador or, or you watch all
11:12
these great boxers that we've seen and all these lightweight
11:15
boxers that we're seeing right now in dominant fashion, Even
11:19
guys like Tank Davis who was probably going to go to jail.
11:23
The footwork is what really sells these fighters.
11:26
And Volkanowski is not a boxer, but he fights like a boxer and
11:30
his footwork his his distance to Lopez.
11:33
He knows Lopez is more stronger than he is, more powerful than
11:37
he is. He kept the distance every time
11:39
he needed to throw, you know, a haymaker or he needed to to be a
11:44
counterpuncher. He was doing that and he was
11:46
throwing enough kicks inside to keep him keep keep the score
11:50
fair and and keep Lopez away from getting inside and throwing
11:54
his, you know, his combinations. Volkanowski was one of the most
11:57
dominant fights for a guy that a lot of people thought if you
12:00
lost the fight, he was going to retire.
12:02
Because there was a lot of there was a lot of stories coming out
12:04
that if Volkanowski loses and that's why they they made this
12:08
fight in Australia, because Dana White was looking at as if he
12:11
loses, he can end his career and put his gloves in the middle of
12:14
the ring and, and say his goodbyes.
12:16
But that was his dominant of us of a fight for Volkenowski as we
12:21
seen that Lopez is not a shoe in fighter.
12:23
This is one of the best fighters UFC has, one of the toughest
12:26
fighters UFC has, and he absolutely dominated him in the
12:30
fight. Yeah, I think you made a lot of
12:32
good points, like especially for Volcanovsky.
12:34
I mean, it just shows. I mean, he he's the old man.
12:37
He just keeps fighting. Somehow he keeps winning.
12:39
And and like you said, I was kind of, I was thinking that
12:42
Diego Lopez was going to make a lot of adjustments.
12:44
I was kind of disappointed in his performance.
12:46
I felt like this fight was different than the first one,
12:49
because the first one felt honestly kind of like the Gaichi
12:52
Paddy fight we just did last week.
12:53
It was a war. It was bloody, it was crazy.
12:56
It was just fists, fisticuffs all the way around, both men
13:00
trying to kill each other. This fight, I felt like the
13:03
Diego's biggest adjustment that he made was he tried to fight a
13:06
more technically sound fight where he tried to take his
13:10
moments and make smart striking advantages.
13:12
And he did drop Volkanovsky. I think it was in round 3, like
13:15
you said, where it was probably the the one debatable round that
13:17
he won. But other than that, to me it
13:20
just kind of seemed like Diego played it a little bit too safe.
13:23
He was trying to be a little bit too technical because obviously
13:25
he didn't want to get into another bloody war.
13:27
I mean, apparently though that didn't matter because he said
13:30
after the fight, apparently Dago somehow broke both of his feet.
13:33
So what? It was a war in the end of the
13:35
day, but I felt like he just, he was trying to be more smart,
13:39
more technical, which in the long run was probably the
13:42
smartest and the right game plan.
13:44
But in the end, it seems like Volk kind of just took advantage
13:47
of his timidness. He backed him up as he wanted
13:49
to. He got some takedowns in there
13:51
and it just kind of seemed like similarity with Max Holloway
13:53
maybe, or maybe Diego Lopez. He just doesn't have
13:56
Volkanowski's number and he can't get it done.
13:58
But he's a phenomenal fighter. He's young enough to where he
14:01
will definitely be champion someday.
14:03
Although it is tough of course, because as a lot of people were
14:05
speculating and saying, Diego probably didn't exactly deserve
14:08
this title shot being that he had just fought Volkanowski last
14:11
year and this was a championship rematch with no fights under his
14:15
belt previous to this first fight.
14:18
So if I was personally if I was, the UFCI would say that Diego
14:21
should probably have to fight some contenders coming up to get
14:23
another shot at the title. And who knows if Volk will still
14:26
be in there. I know that they recently just
14:27
released the UFC London card where the main event will be
14:31
Mawsar Ebulev and Larone Murphy which will most likely be the
14:34
number one contender fight which will be awesome.
14:36
I'm excited to see both guys undefeated, both guys looking
14:39
for a title shot. And for Diego Lopez, I would say
14:42
he probably should take on Yair Rodriguez or maybe an even Al
14:45
Jermaine Sterling. He's moved up and he's moved
14:47
into the top five after his win over Brian Ortega and he's
14:50
looked good at that weight class.
14:51
So I'm interested to see what Diego can do.
14:54
You know, obviously I still believe in him.
14:55
He's a fantastic fighter. He just ran into arguably the
14:58
greatest featherweight of all time and unfortunately he just
15:01
wasn't quite there at that skill level.
15:03
Despite that, Vulk is somehow 3637 years old.
15:05
He's found the fountain of youth and he's he's a monster.
15:08
He's unbelievable. But I'm really excited for that
15:11
number one contendership fight going forward.
15:13
And like you said, I mean, it would have been the perfect send
15:15
off for both. But like you said, he's he's got
15:17
plenty of fuel left in the tank and he ain't ready to go out
15:19
yet. Yeah, he was saying that he he
15:21
believes that he could fight a couple more fights.
15:23
And and again, Dana loves him and and the fans love him even
15:27
here in the United States. They love him in Vegas.
15:29
He's a big fan favorite and he sells seats.
15:32
That's what he does And and, and what's great about him.
15:35
And you watch guys like GSP and and all these other PJBJ Penn
15:40
over the years, these guys always were a draw.
15:43
And Volkanowski, it wasn't like just like GSP, he barely lost.
15:47
GSP lost like two or three fights.
15:49
Volkanowski's lost like 3 fights in his whole career.
15:52
And Volkanowski's dominance over the last couple of years.
15:56
You talk about the greatest fighters of all time when we
15:58
talk about John Jones and Anderson Silver.
16:02
And GSPI would put Volkanowski right there up top with all
16:06
those guys. He's been at that kind of.
16:08
Dominant fighter we've seen over the years and what's I I know a
16:12
lot of people go at me and I I put AI put a story out there and
16:15
I got to send you send you that Jake I I always write the
16:18
stories after the fights and and I really go in the insurance and
16:21
the outs of each round. What I think Volkanowski is, is
16:25
this guy is one of the best at understanding when he gets into
16:30
the ring what he needs to do against every single fighter.
16:32
He has a game plan. He doesn't do a lot.
16:35
What Gagey does where he completely changes the game plan
16:38
and tries to take your head off. As he said, he's like, we got a
16:41
game plan and I should have listened to my guys, but I
16:44
wanted to take his head off. This guy has a game plan.
16:47
Him and his team has a game plan and he follows the game plan.
16:50
He kept his distance. He made sure Lopez couldn't get
16:52
inside. He couldn't throw those punches.
16:54
The only punch that he really clearly knocked him down, even
16:57
though a lot of people thought he slipped or he said he
16:59
slipped, he hit him and he fell, but he got right back up.
17:02
And that's why a lot of people didn't think he lost that many
17:05
points in that round, even though that was the question.
17:08
It was completely dominated. And my uncle told me he
17:11
disagreed with my story because he watched the fight too, is how
17:13
did you think of the story? I think complete dominance.
17:16
Volkanowski absolutely dominated that fight.
17:19
So it wasn't even close. And anybody that scored
17:22
anything, you know, mixed martial arts and you watch mixed
17:24
martial arts, he says it was boring.
17:26
I said no mixed martial arts are, you know, sometimes there
17:29
are fights that they're trying to take their heads off.
17:31
Sometimes it's going to go on their ground.
17:33
A lot of these Russian guys are going to take you down and try
17:35
to dominate you on the ground. Or you have guys like
17:37
Volkanowski and Lopez that they, they have a game plan against
17:40
you. They're free.
17:41
Volkanowski was afraid of Lopez's power.
17:44
And you can tell that he was. And he made sure that he kept
17:47
his distance so he couldn't throw that right hook or that
17:50
that left cross that he usually throws to knock people out.
17:53
And that's why I think, yeah, Lopez, it has it has time to be
17:56
a champion. Remember, he's a Brazilian,
17:58
Mexican kid who has a lot of, you know, a lot of time to
18:02
really grow in the UFC. He's still fairly young.
18:05
Volkanowski is 3738. How many years does he have
18:07
left? Maybe 2.
18:08
If he, he stays at the the top of his game, he might fight one
18:12
more fight and I'll probably be the White House fight this year
18:16
and then probably after that'll be next year.
18:19
And one of these guys, Murphy or Mazvar, whatever, How do you
18:23
pronounce his name? Mazvar?
18:25
Mazvar. He he might, those guys might
18:28
whoever wins this fight will probably fight him on the White
18:31
House card three months from now, as long as they don't kill
18:33
each other or RIP each other's face or break each other's
18:36
noses. So to me.
18:38
They're, they're planning for this White House, you know, this
18:41
White House card to be a world renowned.
18:43
Supercard. Yeah, the Supercard of the year
18:45
before Christmas time when they always have a supercard.
18:48
But it it's looking like Jon Jones is going to fight Pereira.
18:51
That's what it seems like it it seems like that's going to work
18:54
out the way they want. I'm hearing that Conor McGregor
18:57
could still fight on that card. I've been hearing some crazy.
19:00
Stuff yeah, I mean, he he he's he's pushing really hard for it.
19:03
I mean, and they said like there at least Dan is gone on his
19:05
podcast and you know, Danny changes his mind all the time.
19:07
But he said that the plan isn't Michael Chandler anymore.
19:10
So who knows, could be Max Holloway, could be Charles
19:13
Olivera, could be Justin Gagee. Hell, even if, you know, crazy
19:16
enough, it probably won't happen, but they could even just
19:18
to sell pay per views if that's all Dana cares about.
19:20
They could even somehow book Iliate Zaporia.
19:22
Not that that's going to happen, but if he just wants to make
19:25
money, could be a hell of a headline.
19:29
Anything with Conor McGregor on on the card is a headline and
19:32
John Jones. Those are our two biggest
19:34
sellers, John Jones and Conor McGregor.
19:36
You know, the president loves mixed martial arts in the UFC,
19:39
goes to a lot of the fights and, and being at the White House,
19:42
the first time they're bringing the UFC to the White House is
19:45
pretty incredible. I, I would have never thought
19:47
that the White House and Washington, DC would allow this
19:50
to happen. But you know, President Trump,
19:53
he finds ways to deliver to the fans and he is delivering this.
19:57
It's going to be great. Jake, you're fantastic, man.
19:59
You really are. We got to get you on more often.
20:01
You really are. You know, you're UFC for sure.
20:03
We should do. More stuff I just wanted to say
20:06
really quick. I did think you made a great
20:08
point about Volk as well when you were talking about his
20:10
discipline in the in the Octagon.
20:12
The one thing I wanted to touch on, I think you nailed this
20:14
completely perfectly. It's almost similar to like
20:17
Scotty Scheffler on the golf course or Tom Brady, you know,
20:20
on the fourth quarter drive. He never really seems to feel
20:24
pressure or even when this is an exhaustion and his most like
20:27
scariest parts of the fight, he always seems cool and calm under
20:30
pressure. Even in the Iliad Zephoria
20:32
fight, which is the only fight he's lost, I believe in the last
20:35
two or three years, others than you know, of course, against
20:37
Islam Makuchev, he never really seemed worried in those fights.
20:40
Sure, there's moments where he's getting popped and tagged, but
20:42
he's always cool under pressure. And I thought that you made an
20:45
excellent point there that Volkanovsky, and maybe that's
20:47
just his veteran experience or getting hit in the head so many
20:50
times of being in the Octagon. But he's to me, honestly, that
20:53
probably is one of the big factors of his that helps put
20:56
him in that go conversation of some of the best fighters of all
20:59
time. His coolness under pressure,
21:01
which is what champions have and what I think was one of the best
21:04
qualities, that makes him a champion.
21:05
And he said that after the fight when they were interviewing, he
21:08
says, I found, I found a way later in the rounds to, you
21:11
know, change my style and make sure that that's what champions
21:15
do. When you, when you step back and
21:16
you realize that you got to go, you're going 5 rounds, you have
21:20
to make sure that you're winning in every single round.
21:23
And, and, and to me, that's what makes him such a great
21:26
competitor. I, I think he is the greatest,
21:29
not only greatest lightweight. When you talk about Jose Aldo, I
21:32
love Jose Aldo and I remember when he got knocked out by Conor
21:34
McGregor in in about 3 seconds or whatever it was 7 seconds in
21:39
fastest knockout. That hurt Josie Aldo.
21:42
It really did. It really ruined and hurt his
21:44
career. All his dominance from from one
21:47
league to the next coming to the UFC, it really hurt him.
21:50
And that's something that Volkanowski has never had.
21:53
He's never been knocked out like that.
21:54
And that's what makes Volkanowski, I think the
21:57
greatest lightweight champion. And, and yes, I would put him in
22:00
the top five greatest fighters of all time because of the
22:02
dominance that he has been dominating in this division and
22:06
in in a great division, probably one of the of the better
22:09
divisions in the last eight years.
22:10
So, and he's been as dominant of a champion as we've seen.
22:13
So absolutely, Jake, thank you for joining us.
22:17
Hey, you got a Heck, why not hang around for dial it at?
22:20
Well, let's go. Why not?
22:21
Yeah, we should. All right.
22:22
Ladies and gentlemen, we call the final segment of the night.
22:26
Dial it up. We interrupted this regularly
22:28
scheduled hot mix to bring an important news book.
22:30
We got a big. Broadcast to do here.
22:32
We we, we're about to dial it up.
22:37
All right, guys, welcome back. To dial it.
22:42
Up everyone's favorite Lightning Round Sports News segment.
22:46
We're going to give you some stories.
22:47
Errol has no idea what's coming and he's going to give us a take
22:51
and then we're going to react to his takes in a little bit of a
22:54
Lightning Round. Errol, take a look.
22:56
These are the All Star rosters for the All Star Game on
23:01
Valentine's Day weekend coming up in a week.
23:05
We got on the left the Western starters, Steph Curry, Luka
23:09
Doncic, Shay Gilgeous, Alexander, Nicola Yokich and
23:12
Victor Wenbin. Yama.
23:14
The reserves were announced I believe a day ago or two days
23:18
ago. The first ever Israeli All Star,
23:21
Denny of the for the West, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Anthony
23:25
Edwards, Chet Holmgren, LeBron continuing his streak of All
23:29
Star games and Jamal Murray on the East.
23:33
Yanis and Jaylen Brown I guess are technically the forwards and
23:38
Brunson. Jaylen Brunson, the King of New
23:40
York, Kate Cunningham and Tyrese Maxey.
23:43
Starting as a three guard rotation.
23:45
The reserves Scotty Barnes, Jalen Durin, The Center for
23:49
Detroit Jalen Johnson, Donovan Spider Mitchell, Norm Powell,
23:54
Pascal Siakam and everyone's favorite center in New York?
23:59
Carl Anthony Towns, Errol. How do you feel about these
24:02
rosters? Dial it up.
24:04
First of all, why is LeBron James on this roster?
24:07
LeBron James has not been an elite player all season long
24:11
there. I think his record from double,
24:13
double games, I mean getting 10 points or more this year was
24:17
broken. After his whole career, he has
24:19
not been the dominant force that he was.
24:21
I don't know why he's not. He's on this West unless this is
24:24
his final year, but he's never announced that this is his final
24:27
year, so it doesn't make any sense.
24:29
So I expect him to play next year.
24:30
So the NBA is just really putting him there because he's
24:33
LeBron James. But the rosters are pretty even.
24:36
I think it'll be fun to, to watch, but you know, this is
24:38
like an exhibition bout. These guys don't play defense.
24:41
They don't really go out there and put up a great fight.
24:44
And this isn't the old days, the 90s when Michael Jordan was
24:47
playing Kobe Bryant. It was fun to watch.
24:49
It's not like this. They're they're doing stupid
24:51
alley hoops, bang the ball, bang, you know, smack the
24:54
backboard and do all these stuff.
24:56
I'm surprised they don't do with the Earl Manigault where you put
24:58
on a $20 bill on the top of the rim and try to take it off.
25:01
It's it's pathetic. It's absolutely pathetic.
25:04
I I know everybody is pointing it out there.
25:06
This could be the last year you see Giannis on Milwaukee.
25:09
Next year you might see him with the Knicks or Miami or in the
25:12
Western Conference with the Timberwolves.
25:14
Who knows. I honestly think the Eastern
25:17
Conference is a little bit better than the West when you
25:19
look at the reserves than the starters.
25:21
You just kind of snatched the words that I'm out the last part
25:23
of that take. I mean, you look at the teams,
25:25
they're pretty much what we expected.
25:27
Like you said, I don't agree why LeBron is even on the team at
25:30
all. It's really just the LJA like
25:32
we've always mentioned on the show.
25:33
But really what I want to get into is like what you were
25:35
mentioning. It's really not much of A game
25:38
anyways. It's really just the honor.
25:39
It's really just saying you got picked as an All Star, which of
25:42
course is a good honor and it's in and of itself.
25:44
It's just however we see the game and as Stephen A likes to
25:47
call it, flag basketball. I don't know how I managed to
25:50
have two hand touch basketball, but that's what we've been
25:53
witnessing every single year. And the fact is that Adam
25:55
Silver, they show this meme every year with Adam Silver and
25:58
he's just going over to the board and wiping it clean
26:00
because it's every year a new format, every year some new
26:03
garbage or whatnot. And it's really not even.
26:06
He's one of the ugliest people to look at too, man.
26:09
You have the the fist drop. Doesn't he look like Dracula?
26:13
He's got the weirdest ears and he's got the biggest nose.
26:16
I, I could you imagine standing in front.
26:18
First of all, the guy is long as hell.
26:19
Could you imagine him standing face to face with you and poking
26:22
you in the eye with his nose? I mean like Pinocchio.
26:26
I mean, he lies more than he actually tells the truth.
26:29
So I, I I could see him doing something like that.
26:31
It's like if Dobby the elf was really tall.
26:35
That's what he looks like. He looks like Dobby.
26:37
That's exactly what he looks like.
26:39
He really does look like Dobby. Dude, you got to put that
26:41
together, Adam Silver. Dobby, I'll write that one.
26:45
That's actually pretty fun. Get that one together.
26:46
That's a good one. All right.
26:48
I'm too usually too busy making myth in graphics.
26:50
Well, this one was fantastic. We have a guy who's won 7 grand
26:57
slams, including now the career Grand Slam, all by the age of
27:02
22. Carlos Alcaraz wins the
27:05
Australian Open that is the last one on his list, beating Novak
27:11
Djokovic in four sets, 266263 and 75, making him the number
27:18
one player in the world that gives him the career Grand Slam.
27:23
He joins Djokovic, Andre Agassi, Rodger Federer and Rafael Nadal,
27:29
who did it at 24 years old, as the only men to ever complete
27:34
the Grand Slam in the Open era. When I read that I forgot
27:38
Sampras didn't do that. I guess he Sampras famously
27:42
wasn't good on clay so I'm assuming that's the one he
27:45
didn't win. But this, obviously, Errol, this
27:50
kids for real. He's maybe the next big guy.
27:54
So dial it up. So let let me tell you
27:57
something. I used to watch Pete Sampras and
27:59
Andre Agassi go at it and every time they've played at
28:01
Wimbledon, Pete Sampras used to kick his ass.
28:04
But when they played in clay in Australia that it was always
28:07
going to Andre Agassi. Andre Agassi only really beat
28:11
Pete Sampras clay. I think it was only one time
28:14
that he beat him on grass, but it was a great match up.
28:17
When I was a kid, I, I used to love watching Andre Agassi.
28:20
He was my favorite, my favorite tennis player.
28:22
And, and by the way, he he married Steffi Groff, another
28:25
great tennis player too. But Carlos Alcaraz is one of the
28:31
best tennis players I've seen at the age of 22.
28:34
Better than guys like Nidal and all those other guys.
28:39
I've watched him play twice. I watched him play in Australia
28:43
and I watched him play for Wimbledon.
28:45
This guy is so fast. It's such a great serve, can
28:48
move up and down the court as good as anybody I've ever seen.
28:52
When you talk about some of the greatest tennis players that can
28:54
do all the things right backhand, forehand, can get to
28:58
the net, hits the ball, you know, I think he's his serve
29:02
goes 130 miles, 135 miles per hour.
29:06
I mean, could you imagine a butt tennis ball coming that fast at
29:08
you? I mean, it's scary how good this
29:11
young kid is 22 years old and has already won four
29:14
championships. I, I mean, this guy is, I, I, he
29:17
could go down as the greatest tennis.
29:19
If he stays healthy, he could go down as the greatest tennis
29:21
player of all time. When it comes to individual
29:22
sports, it's definitely one of the fastest, if not the fastest.
29:25
Like in starting Surge. I remember him first in 2023, I
29:29
believe it was with Wimbledon, because I remember I, our friend
29:32
Paulo doesn't bet with us anymore, but he had a bet on him
29:34
at the time. He was 14 years old.
29:35
Yeah, I don't think he was like as big of a favorite even at
29:38
that time. He was even dominant in that
29:40
stretch. I believe it was Wimbledon in
29:42
2023. Then he won Wimbledon in 2024.
29:43
That's the first time I saw him play, and it's really so fast.
29:47
You mentioned Nadal is the same country as him, both being from
29:49
Spain. This is a faster start to his
29:51
career, too. So definitely this guy's to
29:52
live. It for oh, he's better.
29:53
He's way better than Nadal was when he started.
29:55
I mean, Nadal, it took him a couple of years to get his feet
29:58
wet before he won his first championship.
30:00
This guy within within three years, this guy is the most
30:04
dominant, but the tennis best player of all time, most
30:07
dominant tennis player right now in the world and could go down.
30:11
I don't know who's going to beat him.
30:13
I mean, the way you watch this guy play, I I I've never seen a
30:16
guy just dominate the game as good as him and he's not just
30:20
beating you, he's dominating, dominating you. 62616 nothing.
30:26
I mean, there are guys not even coming close to this kid, so.
30:31
All right, let's move on to the next one.
30:32
This one is absolutely hilarious, and I got a video for
30:36
it. Here we go.
30:38
And if you like tennis, we talked some UFC, here's some
30:42
boxing. I don't know if you caught this,
30:45
but there was a boxing match that just produced one of the
30:48
best viral moments you've ever seen.
30:51
So the story is we have Jarrell Miller, who wins this fight,
30:58
gets hit square in the face couple of times, leading his
31:03
toupee to flap up in the middle of the match.
31:06
Let's take a look at it live real quick here.
31:10
It was actually. You can see it just kind of
31:14
popping off already and it's just going to fly in the wind
31:19
you. Tried to stay gone.
31:24
That's just unbelievable. It's a strange decision to go
31:29
with a hairpiece in a boxing match.
31:32
Obviously a pretty good hairpiece, but that didn't
31:36
matter. I guess they don't have it in
31:38
this clip. I thought they do show it.
31:39
He throws it into the crowd and rips it off his head officially
31:44
before he gets back to fighting. This guy is awesome.
31:49
I don't know what else to say other than.
31:51
Dial it up well, these guys are not going to be champions.
31:55
I mean, they're not going to beat the top boxers in the
31:57
world, heavyweight boxers in the world, but they're fun to watch.
32:01
They were aggressively attacking each other.
32:03
It was funny when his toupee fell off slowly but surely, and
32:07
then he threw it out in the audience.
32:08
I would have loved to catch that toupee because I would have
32:11
said. Hey could you sign this for me?
32:12
Or something. Or maybe I'll see him in the
32:15
future and and have him sign in. I'm the one who caught your
32:18
toupee. But it was to me, that's what
32:21
you want to see boxing fights be heavyweight fights like that
32:24
when they're beating the crap at each other.
32:26
They went full frontal the whole fight.
32:28
They went straight at each other.
32:31
These two guys are fun to watch and he's very fun to watch.
32:33
Even after the fight when, when the ring announcer came to him
32:37
and he is interviewing, he says, what was it like getting into
32:39
the ring? And, and, and he says, how did,
32:42
how did I feel when your, your hair fell off?
32:44
He says, listen, I, you know, I, I, I want to entertain people.
32:48
That's why I'm here. And boy, that was entertainment
32:50
for him. So it was great to watch.
32:52
It was fun. And obviously, you know, mixed
32:54
martial arts has really been dominating over the last couple
32:57
of years. So boxing needs something like
32:59
that to bring back the fun in the game and in the sport.
33:05
Yeah, I think you're right, Earl.
33:06
I mean, if anything, I'm not if you're the fan that catches
33:09
that, that's a, that's a trophy that's like that's a souvenir.
33:12
And for a lifetime you have that memory for you.
33:14
I can't remember who it was. It was it Manny, it was Pacquiao
33:17
who knocked out Floyd's tooth. And then it was he put it on a a
33:21
chain for himself. Like he had that as a memento.
33:23
You know, he didn't win the fight.
33:24
But yeah, like the toupee like that.
33:26
I mean, that that's great. Like you said, you're never
33:29
going to be champion If you're worried about your hairpiece in
33:32
a in a, in a fighting or in a, you know, combat sport.
33:37
It's great, though. It's hilarious.
33:38
You know, you got you got to love the commitment to the bit.
33:41
And I mean, if he got the win, hey, you know what, man, you,
33:43
you rock. Maybe maybe you rock it again.
33:45
Maybe it's a distraction. I don't know how he was allowed
33:48
to go out there with that because you know, most times
33:50
when the referees, they give you the warm up before, similar to
33:53
UFC, at least when they give you the Vaseline and make sure
33:56
there's no like visible cuts or obstructions on your body or on
33:59
your person. I mean, I don't know how he
34:01
snuck that one past the athletic Commission, but I guess good on
34:04
it was a good moment. It's pretty funny.
34:06
It is and again, if you're a boxing fan, that's something
34:09
that you want to see. I mean, Tyson biting Holyfield's
34:11
ear that really, you know, that was like the blooper of the
34:16
weekend. That was the blooper of the
34:18
weekend on ESPN watching his hairpiece come off.
34:20
So it was something that was drawing boxing 5th because the
34:23
Shidor fight was a great fight and and Shidor is one of the the
34:27
best fighters right now in all the boxing.
34:29
But people forget that boxing really has not been a drawer all
34:33
these years and and mixed martial arts in the way Dana
34:35
White is promoting his product there.
34:37
He's driving it away from boxing and I think something something
34:40
funny like that or something that stands out like that will
34:43
drive boxing fans, especially in the heavyweight division, to
34:46
watch. As we all know, Fury's coming
34:48
back for another fight, which is something that I'm excited for
34:50
so. All right, let's keep it going.
34:53
We're going to go into what they call, you know, plans or
34:59
predetermined outcome fighting. Oh yes, the Phenomenal one if
35:05
you will. AJ Styles shot the world and
35:10
actually lost his retirement match, the first one that he
35:14
had. Usually wrestlers have like a
35:17
dozen retirement matches until they finally retire so that they
35:21
could finish their run. John Cena just had a year long
35:25
retirement tour in which AJ Styles actually faced him a
35:29
couple of months ago. He kind of shocked everyone.
35:32
Gunther, who is now the retirement, I don't know what
35:35
are they calling him? Tommy the career, I don't know
35:36
if like. It's the name.
35:38
I don't. I don't.
35:39
Know the career ender or something because he he's ended
35:42
the let well it's not the legend killer it was Randy Orton but
35:45
this guy's Gunther's stop now AJ Styles, John Cena and Bill
35:49
Goldberg either way that guy's the next guy they're giving him
35:52
the rub and AJ Styles 25 years in the business was for the
35:58
longest time the best wrestler in the world that wasn't in the
36:01
WWE going to have the. Booty.
36:03
When he gets to WWE in 2015 at the Royal Rumble, where he
36:07
retired. 10 Breaking news. Hot ladies.
36:11
Darrell, This guy's one of the all time greats.
36:15
Roman Reigns won the Royal Rumble for the men.
36:17
Liv Morgan, New Jersey, North Jersey, Bergen County.
36:21
The finest of Bergen County, one the womens''s Royal Rumble.
36:27
Errol, you were asking me about this all week.
36:30
Dial it up. Oh, I can't wait to get to that
36:32
one. So.
36:33
What I heard is AJ has some significant injuries and WWE, he
36:42
actually told the WWE, this is what I heard that he he wants to
36:46
step away. I don't know what happened.
36:48
I I heard he had back problems over the years and something
36:52
happened over the last couple of months.
36:55
And he probably, I think he told the, the the WWE that this is
36:59
going to be his last fight that he's done and he's going to, you
37:02
know, wrap it up. So I think that this was a
37:05
surprise to the WWE because I think he told Triple HA couple
37:09
of weeks ago that he wants this to be his final match.
37:12
So I'm not surprised. I did look, I did research it.
37:15
I didn't know we were talking about this because I was
37:18
speaking to you about this. But I heard that AJ Styles had
37:22
to step down, had to leave wrestling because of injuries,
37:26
significant injuries and possibly a surgery.
37:29
So that's what I heard. Yeah.
37:31
So the stuff that I heard was mostly that he just wasn't
37:35
confident doing his types of moves because he didn't do easy
37:39
stuff. AJ Styles had moves that were
37:42
banned, like the Styles Clashes finisher was banned in WWE.
37:46
Anyone doing that move, not because it was AJ's moves,
37:49
because it's freaking dangerous. You know, normally on moves
37:53
you're supposed to tuck your chin like this so you don't hurt
37:57
your neck. On that one, you actually have
37:58
to do the opposite. And it's something that hurt
38:02
somebody early in AJ's career. It wasn't really AJ's fault, but
38:05
it's a move that got banned. He made a name for himself in
38:09
Japan. He made a name for himself all
38:12
over the globe. TNA.
38:14
I have a feeling now that when he retired, he did.
38:18
He did the thing where, you know, you're supposed to put
38:19
your gear in the center of the ring.
38:22
He was about to put his famous AJ gloves in the middle of the
38:26
ring and he didn't. He put them back on kind of
38:29
insinuating that he will be back probably for a mini run back
38:34
with either TNA since they're back going or you know, maybe he
38:38
shows up at like next year's, you know, Royal Rumble or Summer
38:42
Slam. Like to attack.
38:45
Whatever. There was something.
38:46
I'm sorry to cut you off, Tom. There's something, there's
38:49
something going on with injury. I'm telling you that either he's
38:53
having surgery something and I, I've been reading different
38:57
things on social media that a lot of the fans believe that he
39:01
needs surgery and that's why. And he doesn't know how he what,
39:05
what's going to happen after the surgery if he's going to be able
39:08
to fight again or he's going to have to walk away.
39:10
And that's probably why he wanted this to be his final
39:13
retirement match. Now I wanted to touch on
39:15
something that Fish just mentioned as well too, but you
39:18
know, the of course, the sinewent, the momento of, you
39:21
know, leaving your gear in the ring and what not.
39:23
I of course, like Fisher's mentioned, I think he's going to
39:25
finish his run over in TNA. And you're right, Errol, I do.
39:28
I have heard of course, his injury within the last year.
39:30
AJ has somewhat been more injury prone as he has been throughout
39:34
the rest of his career. He gets an injury here and there
39:36
what not. But my thing is that within the
39:38
last year, it's he's getting up there in age and he already did
39:41
say, you know, 2026 will be his last year.
39:44
Didn't want to of course, do it within the last couple of
39:45
months. Didn't want to take over John
39:47
Cena shine of his his retirement tour, but it all makes sense for
39:51
him and pointing at TNA, the place that really put him on the
39:54
map more than he already is. Now the spot that you know, is
39:58
really coming back and really rejuvenizing within the last two
40:01
years. TNA is now on a major network on
40:03
AMC. They finally got ATV deal done.
40:05
No longer on YouTube having to watch it with those ads or
40:07
whatnot. You know, it all makes sense
40:10
with all the talent over there now with even one of the guys we
40:12
met last year and at the Super Bowl, AJ Francis, he has many
40:16
talent over there. Leon Slater, there's a lot of
40:18
talent and a lot of guys over there that it all makes sense
40:20
for him to finish, have a bit of a run, two months run, couple
40:24
matches here and there, putting a couple guys over over in TNA.
40:27
Yeah, I really one of the few guys I've ever been, like, super
40:31
excited about that came over to WWE from somewhere else.
40:35
All right, so last story for the night, Errol, you mentioned this
40:39
earlier talking to Quinn and couples and man, I did not know
40:44
that this story was going to take this turn because the
40:48
mystery woman is not yet revealed.
40:52
But we have now at least a report that Brittany is real.
40:59
Yes, Errol, Brittany, I guess Rodgers, I don't know if she
41:03
took his last name or not, but according to Jen Hale, who
41:10
reporting for Fox Sports, I can't say who she is.
41:16
If I could, I would, but I can't.
41:20
He's happy. He's in a really good spot.
41:23
So what in the world is going on here?
41:26
So here's the deal. Apparently everybody knows, Hale
41:32
told the Daily Mail. I can't say who she is.
41:35
I've never met her. I don't know her.
41:38
Aaron has become a friend over the years, so I wish him the
41:42
very best. I think he's happy and that's
41:44
all you want for your people. You want them to find their
41:47
comfort zone and their happiness.
41:49
He went through some tough, really tough times.
41:51
I'm glad he's in such a good place now.
41:55
But. So Errol, Miss Hale is kind of
42:00
insinuating that this is a famous person that Aaron Rodgers
42:05
is married to this Brittany. You want to jerk me off?
42:09
Could this possibly be the Brittany that once asked to hit
42:13
her baby one more time? Dial it up.
42:16
First of all, and I say first of all, because how does this
42:21
reporter actually know that Aaron Rodgers is married to a
42:24
woman named Britney? Why?
42:26
Because they're friends. And he said it.
42:28
She never even met her, So how would she know?
42:30
That's what I want to know. How would you know?
42:33
Because you're Aaron Rodgers friends.
42:35
Nobody, not even including his friends, people that have known
42:38
him, even people that we've had on the show knows if this story
42:42
is true. But she knows she's a reporter.
42:45
I know that Aaron Rodgers is married.
42:47
I know he's in a good place. How the hell do you know he's in
42:50
a good place? Well, you never met the lady.
42:52
All I want to know is if you think she exists, why haven't
42:55
you met her? Nobody else has.
42:58
All we know is her name is Brittany.
42:59
And like I said, the only person I believe or thing that he named
43:04
Brittany is his hand that he jerks off with.
43:07
Honest to God, there is no way this woman exists because if she
43:11
did, somebody would have seen her.
43:14
Nobody knows that she exists. All we know is Aaron Rodgers
43:18
wears a black ring on his throwing arm.
43:20
That's it. That's all we know.
43:22
So any, anybody could be wearing a ring.
43:24
Speedy could be wearing a ring. I could be wearing a ring.
43:26
Does that mean I'm married to some woman named Brittany?
43:29
My girlfriend's name's Brittany. But I mean, at least I'm honest
43:32
about it. I mean, people have actually
43:34
seen her. Nobody's seen Aaron Rodgers,
43:37
Brittany. And now we have a reporter who
43:40
says that he's she's very good friends with and, and says, oh,
43:44
I know she exists because Aaron's in a good place.
43:47
Aaron's never in a good place. The only time he's in a good
43:50
place is when he's high. Give me a break.
43:52
It's a lie. It's a cheat.
43:54
What a joke. There is no Brittany.
43:57
Yeah, unless it's like 1 of Jed Hale's very closest friends
44:00
who's not going to be like that famous of whether she wouldn't
44:02
have revealed herself on her own anyway.
44:04
Like it doesn't, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
44:05
Or maybe even Brittany's a cover name at this point for somebody
44:08
who's actually famous but doesn't want to reveal her
44:10
herself or whatever. Maybe just wanting to hide in
44:13
Aaron Rodgers a secret bunker and doesn't make some Iowa say
44:17
it doesn't make a lot of sense. I think there's a lot more
44:19
conspiracy theories that could go around and Aaron Rodgers and
44:22
her name really is Brittany. You better watch out for NIFID
44:24
because she NIFID wants to Brittany too and.
44:26
It has shut the music. Shut the music, honest to God.
44:30
You know, Tommy wanted to get something and I think we all
44:33
wanted to have a little. We're always going to mystery.
44:36
But I was just going to say, was that actually it is reported, I
44:39
was rumored and heard that, you know, he actually met her in one
44:42
of his dark darkness retreats. You know, he kind of met her in
44:45
the dark. He's sitting there just kind of
44:47
reaching for his ayahuasca. And yeah, there we go.
44:49
It's like love at first sight. It wasn't that sight.
44:51
It was. Sad.
44:52
Love at first hand, love at first.
44:54
Hallucination. It was his hands that he thought
44:57
was a woman. But yeah, no, honestly, who
45:00
really gives a shit? I don't.
45:01
I don't personally care. I could.
45:04
I could care less if we find out tomorrow, next year, the year
45:07
after. Yeah.
45:09
He's going to be in retirement anytime soon anyway, so.
45:13
Well, I mean, he could be retiring, but he could be
45:17
getting the fountain of youth in the darkness, you know, with the
45:20
Joshua Tree hanging out. My Indo.
45:22
Knee hanging out with Nathan, probably Nathan's hanging out
45:26
with. Should be over right now.
45:28
Or at the Pro Bowl for tomorrow and you know Nathan is going to
45:32
the Pro Bowl, but maybe shoot it.
45:35
Abuse. It maybe Brittany, it's like one
45:38
of those like names where you have to like because it's, it's
45:41
a weird spelling. Maybe it's one of those anagrams
45:44
and we have to decipher the real name from the letters.
45:48
Speedy, we're going to put you on that one and we'll figure out
45:51
who it is. We'll break.
45:52
It I told you a secret secret celebrity couples are different
45:55
stick because of the small chance that that might be Lisa
45:57
ad or not Britney. That was honestly, if it was an
46:02
adult film star, that would make it the funniest that.
46:10
Was. Perfectly sized.
46:13
First of all, Nathan trying to try to get Lisa Ann even to go
46:17
up to a room would probably be he'd probably have to give her a
46:20
couple of $1000 for her to even walk up the stairs to his, his
46:24
dorm room because he's staying with her, his aunt, his, his
46:28
aunt and his uncle. I mean, there he is.
46:31
He's hanging out with your door eating, whatever that is.
46:33
Whatever. That is clam chow, San Francisco
46:35
Clam chowder in a bread bowl. Look.
46:37
At that smile on his face that does look like Nathan.
46:40
I'm smiling. The blue blazer.
46:42
OH. My God, what a terrible.
46:44
Do you think that they mimed at each other on their date?
46:47
They didn't talk, they just. First of all, Lisa Ann would not
46:51
even speak to Nathan. Nathan would be.
46:53
Nathan is like 5 foot 6 at best and Lisa Ann is like 5-9.
47:00
Do you think that Lisa Ann would look at Nathan at for five
47:03
seconds more than him coming up and him stuttering going?
47:06
But, but, but Lisa, Lisa, that's Nathan.
47:13
That's Nathan. I, I, I would love to see Lisa
47:17
Ann talked to Nathan for 5 minutes and see how he would
47:20
react to it. I mean, this guy is infatuated
47:23
with this lady, absolutely infatuated with her and he's
47:26
never met her, never met her. So there he is.
47:36
Yeah, this guy is, is a weirdo. I I can tell you that right now.
47:40
And if he and when he meets people, Nathan doesn't, he
47:44
doesn't just stand there, he runs after them. yo-yo, yo-yo,
47:47
yo. You know who I am?
47:49
NRRRRRR. Yeah, He barely knows how to say
47:52
that. I love you, Nathan.
47:53
But he's he's, he's going to San Francisco on our stead and
47:58
hopefully he gets some good interviews for us and, and, and
48:02
get some good proposed personalities to come on a show
48:07
in the future. But as far as I'm concerned,
48:10
Niffin is one of the weirdest people you'll ever meet.
48:12
And if there's any women around him, you'd have to worry.
48:17
He put them on a leash. It really, he is like a serial
48:21
killer. Niffin his eyes.
48:24
He he, he wears the same outfits every single day.
48:28
Every single. It's the blue blazer he wears
48:30
that he wears this red. Like what do they call that polo
48:36
shirt? Polo shirts.
48:37
Camo pants. He wears the same crap every day
48:41
and I'm surprised all the guys that he meets over and over
48:44
again, like he meets athletes over and over and over again at
48:48
these autograph signings. I'm surprised nobody says, hey,
48:51
didn't you wear that last time? He needs to put that that blue
48:57
blazer to rest, guys. Oh wow, you haven't done that
49:00
one in a while. What is that?
49:03
Is he is supposed to be Don King over there?
49:06
Something like that, I don't know.
49:10
This guy and, and, and, and after all the Kobe Bryant
49:14
stories and all that other stuff, he jumps in a helicopter
49:17
in South Africa when it's very windy over there.
49:19
What is he nuts? I would definitely not do that.
49:23
I mean, that guy is one of he's definitely one in a million.
49:27
And if he's listening, you know I love you Nathan, but you are
49:30
one of the weirdest people I've ever met in my entire.
49:32
Life Trust. Me, you are weird.
49:34
Could you imagine if if I went to San Francisco, I would have
49:38
been with Nathan and Speedy? Those would be my guys.
49:42
Could you imagine me walk around with these two guys?
49:45
I mean, Speedy with his personality, and then Nathan
49:48
running around with that blue blazer and his khakis front
49:52
massage pants. I mean, I mean, the last time we
49:57
went out to Hofstra to this autograph signing, I had to tell
50:01
Nathan when we walked into the room that his pants was
50:03
zippered, unzippered and that his underwear was hanging out of
50:07
his pants. Speedy, you remember that
50:08
vaguely. Yeah.
50:09
So I said zipper your pants. And he's like, you know, and
50:15
then he actually walked up to people and, and he was trying to
50:18
introduce us. I, I, I got to say, Nathan does
50:20
know a lot of people. He's very likable person, but
50:22
he's one of the weirdest people. I'd like to thank everybody that
50:25
listens to our show, all the fans on Spotify and Apple video
50:30
and audio, all the fans 107th. We were ranked at I think on
50:35
Saturday. So, and we are amongst the best
50:39
in the country. And we like to thank all the
50:40
fans that download and follow us and search for us.
50:44
We really appreciate you because sorry that Jabba did not join
50:47
us. He he decided to stay in New
50:48
York for another extra day. He told me at 4:30 that he's
50:53
getting on his plane now. I'm like, dude, you're not going
50:55
to make it to the show. He's like, I'm going to try to
50:57
make it. I knew he wasn't going to make
50:59
it. And he's probably listen to the
51:00
show right now. So hopefully we got Jabba for
51:03
the whole show on Thursday. But yeah, thank you to all the
51:06
TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, all the fans on those platforms,
51:12
YouTube job in the mouth. We really appreciate all you
51:15
guys Speedy who we have on. Thursday, all right, Super Bowl
51:18
champion 8:45 will be joining us, former New York Giants tight
51:22
end Howard Cross. Oh, that's right, that's right.
51:25
Nathan was the one that scooped him up.
51:26
Yes, he was. And one of the better goal line
51:29
defenders of all time, right? Is it?
51:31
Is it? No, that was Gary Reasons.
51:33
He'll be out in a. Few weeks.
51:34
That's right. That's right.
51:35
Howard Cross. I'm trying to remember.
51:36
Howard Cross. I don't.
51:37
Remember the tight end Shockey's back up?
51:42
Now I remember him because I I did.
51:45
I was an executive producer for Imani Toomer.
51:47
So Imani Toomer used to tell me a lot of different stories about
51:50
those teams before the Super Bowl championship.
51:54
He did all The Dirty work while Shocky got to line up and go out
51:57
for passes. Cross was a great blocker and he
52:00
caught some passes too. He was a good, halfway decent
52:02
athlete. All right, All right.
52:04
Howard Cross will be joining us. So very interesting.
52:07
Thank you again to all the fans. We'll be back on Thursday.
52:10
Yes, Jabba will be here on Thursday.
52:12
Better be I'll smack up silly. I got a chance to meet him on
52:15
Saturday. So that was interesting both of
52:18
us together. It's like I knew him for years.
52:20
It really is. And he he I got to give a shout
52:23
out to Jabba. He was very kind to my friends,
52:25
very cool to my friends and try to pick on my size at which
52:29
you're only four inches bigger than me.
52:30
Buddy. Stop bragging about it When I
52:32
steal a base against you. Then you can you can start
52:36
kissing my ass my friend. I love you anyways.
52:38
Goodnight, farewell. It is the worldwide sports radio
52:43
network, Radio network.
