teams remain. It's Argentina versus England and France versus Spain,
with the winner of both matches heading to the World
Cup Final. Now, we were talking about the fight in
(01:46):
Vegas between bam Attebaio and Tyler Hero.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It probably lasted longer than what are you about to
bring up?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, it's unfortunate. So Connor McGregor makes his return. He
goes to throw a jumping switch kick right at the
start of the fight and it appears a significant knee
injury was suffered.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The problem is.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
He may have been injured before the fight, and so
there's been video that's come out. Most notably they showed
pretty quick afterwards on paramount Connor McGregor taking his shoe
off to get into the cage and it looked like
he was favoring the knee. He and his trainer have
come out, you know, on social media and said there
(02:32):
was no injury. There was no you know, nothing happened
before the fight. It was just we had planned on that,
We had drilled that to try and throw immediately when
the fight began. But there's people that are doubting the
validity of that, and it does appear that there's a
little bit of a controversy with the way that the
fight started. But at least Bam landed a punch. I
don't believe a punch was landed in this fight.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So the UFC even put out a video of McGregor warming.
I'm not sure if he saw that, and I don't
know what to make from it because it didn't look
like he was moving one hundred percent, you know. It
looked like he was just going through the motions of
some of his warm up, some of his kicks, things
he wanted to do. But if he did have a
knee injury, you could probably look at that video and say, yeah,
(03:18):
he doesn't look like he's moving as explosive. It looks
like he's moving maybe gingerly on that knee. I can
see where people are consumed. There was even video put
out by folks who was somebody who saw him going
into a medical clinic at some point in time before
the fight, during his training and the way he's walking,
I'll be honest with you, I mean, I don't know
that there's any definitive evidence that he's going in for
(03:41):
that or had an issue with his knee. It looks
like he's maybe a little stiff, maybe a little rigid
from training or something else. Like I don't know what
to draw to it. I mean, var you've been there, right,
you got some of those workouts. I mean, he's in
a camp training for a fight on times. I'm sure
he's sore as hell, So you might be walking stiff
as hell, like walking into some point. Maybe he's getting IV,
(04:01):
maybe he's getting some other treatment. I have no idea.
I just I know that everything that's been put out there.
And then after watching that fight and watching the walk out,
he didn't look the same. And I get he's older,
and I don't know, he's got a lot of other
things that are going on right now.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
He looked unsure.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It looked like if you were going into a fight
and you've got past experience where you're this beast, you're
this animal, you're on top of the world, which he
was at one point that that was not the demeanor
he took into that octagon. It looked like there was
either some other thought, concerns, something else, and and maybe
(04:42):
it you know, but the reality is it's a thirty
million dollar payoff, so he knows he's got to go
in there and do all he can to make it work.
And you know, again, I'm not I'm not sure if
he just got in there was like, Yep, this ain't
gonna work.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Joe Rogan was like, what the hell is he doing?
Basically like you just don't you don't try at type
of maneuver, try to try to take that type of attack.
It just seemed like a careless attack. But have you
guys ever been on a on a matt Have you
guys ever been on like like they can like depending
(05:17):
on like how your feet are, it can be really
really slick.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And that one is more now because they have more
branding logos.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It can be very very slick. And so you want
to try to make sure you get a good feel for,
you know, how your footing is in a fight. And
this is a this is a prize fight, is a
major fight. So just to come out that early and
(05:48):
take such a aggressive leap forward with such a commit
a commitment to that kick in particular, you know, it
sets up I mean, if he doesn't get hurt, nobody
is nobody cares, right, But the fact that it did
hurt first thing. I thought. Everybody's like, oh, he blew
(06:09):
it out, Oh he blew it out. Didn't look like
he blew it out. It looked like he was still
trying to use it. What it to me came across
as like he bone bruised that bad boy, Like the
way he came down on it, the force he came
down and put his foot down when he landed, it
looked like a bone bruise like and if you bone
(06:30):
bruise immediately, that s is almost It's one of the
most painful deals you could deal with, is a bone bruise.
During the Monmouth massacre, that was one of the that
was probably the worst pain you felt out of everything
you did.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
They told me, yeah, you'll recover from this fairly quickly.
The bone bruise will last eight to nine months.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Really, they're right, it's so painful. It is. A bone
bruise is so painful. That's what it looked like to me.
Because he's still tried to use his leg like he
would put it down and if you watch it, rewatch it,
he put it down. And if he tried to over exert,
it was like it like what they call it twins
(07:12):
or something like that, like like it's like E like
that that pain that hit you and it's like you
just give out, like oh, I'm going down because of
the pain that strikes you when you put the pressure
on it. That's what it kind of struck me. As
that's like when he fell down, it's like, oh he
as soon as he puts that real pressure on it,
that pain is is crazy bad.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
But do you think he heard it from the flying
roundhouse kick then? Is that what you're saying, because like
I've seen other fights where he he does open with
some like you know, leg sidekicks, leading leg sidekicks or
like spinning back kicks. I haven't seen him do that before,
but he does. He does kind of come out sometimes
it's like a bit flashy, like with.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
His opening And like I said, if he didn't if
he didn't get hurt, I don't think anybody. I think
Joe Rogan would have still been like what is he doing?
But I don't I don't think there would have been
too much scrutiny on what he did. It's just it
is what it is. But the fact that it did
lead to such a major injury during the course of
the match, that's that's what I would think is maybe
(08:15):
it was already injured or but he's still I mean,
he was moving. How about that he walked to the
he walked out. He walked out like they didn't have
the system out. He looked like he was walking on
a acl Yeah, you could.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I wonder, you know, I don't know if it was
maybe hurt, but he was like, I can get through it.
And then he further damaged it when he made a
portion to do that. Yeah, And so I wonder because
he is a fast starter and he's also a guy
to where and everyone you know going into the fight
was like, if he's going to win this fight against Max,
Holloway was really good.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It was going to be early.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Because he he doesn't have the cardio or the gas
tank and he never has in any of his fights.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And Max that long did Holloway right. Halloway he did
land punches, by the way, Well, he was trying not to, yeah,
but he was he was popping him.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
And he said, after we stopped and he said afterwards,
but Gregor was yelling at him to fight. He no,
keep fighting, like, told him to told him to keep punching.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
He was getting socked. Now he did have a.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I saw that Connor McGregor did have those cup marks.
So maybe when he was walking into that clinic he
was getting some cupwork done. I don't know exactly what
the cupwork does, but he did have those purple suction cup.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Marks, you little bitch.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah yeah, Patty Pimblet thought he fought in that car too.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
That was the kid with the corn rolls. Yeah, yeah,
he's good. How flexible is he?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Ju is great? Geeze bro.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Geez, you little bitch. He rolled that man over your
little fop buks. I just think y'all should leave it
to him because the way y'all say it is way
it sounds way different your little fire bucks. Yeah yeah,
I say, wait, hey, look though, he spun that man
(10:15):
like a crocodile or alligator wild.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, it literally looked like and the dude couldn't.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
One of the scariest deals and and and mixed martial
arts is the idea of if you get, if you
get to submitted in a way like that, you don't
you don't know, like he grabbed his arm and his
arm just went down, but that had to been like
one one two seconds, like one second of getting choked out.
(10:47):
It feels like an attorney.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Right, let's let let's go. Let's get this out there. Though,
Like the fact part of this is how much did
he make from the fight? Was it thirty?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
McGregor, Yeah, I'm not sure because there's some people of
questioned because they don't have the pay per view model anymore.
Just some people have wanted there's not as much clarity
on how much they're getting paid because I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Know what would be your best guest fifteen. Let's say
the purse was thirty.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I mean, he's the draw twenty. All those all away
popular too.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
My point is this, how do you know he's getting
He's getting to the age where you know, every one
of these fights matters more and more. I mean, I
think for like a lot of athletes, you know, the
last or final years they've got. I'm not saying he's
done after this, but he is getting up there in age.
He's got a bunch of other ventures things going on,
and obviously off you know, outside of the octagon, that's
(11:46):
been well documented to some of the different issues. But
my point is is the money is getting so big,
and we saw this in boxing. We saw this with
Pacquiao Mayweather, where Pacio went in that fight banged up
from camp, like the money too big to not to
push this fight back, to not be able to go
through with it. Like that's the problem, And that's that's
(12:07):
some of the issue that I have with this nowadays,
is you know in camp, there's gonna be injuries, there's
gonna be things that happened. But for most of these fighters,
like it's too big of a pay day, So yeah,
we can have another one at some point. But for McGregor,
like I'm not saying he needs the money. I don't
know his financial situation. He's probably made a ton of money.
But we see other boxes, other fighters guys who need
the money and they're gonna go through with it, everything
(12:29):
everything they can just to get there to get that payday.
Are of a shot a portion of that payday.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
It's also the Paquia Mayweather fight. I understood the complaints
people had because there was lawsuits afterwards when it came
out that Pakia had the torn rotator cuff, which you
can see him in the Mayweather fight. He I think
it was like the third or fourth round he threw
a punch and you could tell the fight was different
after that because he was doing well at times, but
(12:55):
he just didn't have full ability to throw a punch.
And not that he would have beaten Mayweather any but
it would have been a better fight and give him
a better opportunity because he did have moments in it.
But there was people afterwards that filed lawsuits because the
pay per view at the time was one hundred dollars
or something like that, and they felt like they were
sold to bill of goods because the guy went in
and he was compromised, so they didn't get what they
(13:15):
thought they were going to be getting. And you don't
hear anybody say that with this fight because it's a
streaming service like you already have it, so you're not
paying a pay per view. But what about what people
who attended, Well, the people who attended and also the betters,
something like eighty five to ninety percent of the money
(13:36):
was on McGregor, so the sportsbooks did great. So they're
the ones that look at this and go, well, that sucks.
I mean if the guy was injured going into the fight.
But you guys talk about all the time, at what
point during the NFL season are you healthy?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Day one a training camp? Right, So all of these guys,
depending on what year you're in in the league, once
you're in the league for a little bit, never I.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Mean, so all of these, all of these fighters go
into fights banged up. They all do, and like their
training camps are hard, you know, you see you mentioned
the suction cups whatever. Some guys will have a bum
ankle and so instead of wrapping one ankle, to wrap
both of them. So it just seems like, oh, they're
just they want to have you know, better better grip
or better feel. Or they've got one knee brace on,
(14:26):
so they'll throw another one off so nobody thinks anything.
Or one jock strap, yeah, something like that, you know,
with two ass cheeks, and so I look at it.
I go Had he not fought, then they would have
criticized him because that's happened before to where he suffered
an injury and wasn't able to make make the walk
and make the fight, and so he got criticized for that.
And so yeah, he went and banged up, but I
(14:47):
think all these guys go going banged up. And so
the criticism that Pakiao got back then, imagine all those
people that were looking forward to that pay per view
and Pacy I was like, I can't fight.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I've got a hurt shoulder. They talks so bad about
they had to talk so bad about him that the
people who went to the fight, I mean, you made it.
You could tell it was a spectacle. There were so
many celebrities at the fight. You could tell that it
was a like this is a night out, like this
is Connor McGregor's name draws like a like a Floyd mayweb.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
And the card was great, except it was a great
car said.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
That, right, that's crazy, man.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
But like imagine if it was one hundred dollars pay
per view, then there people will be like, oh, come
on man, we didn't we didn't get what we what
we bought here. But it's a streaming service. You already
you already have paramount.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Plus it will be interesting to see what what the
cuts were. But and I could care less why he
was fighting. I mean, sometimes you just you try. I mean,
we're we're seeing that Aaron Donald was at the facility
and stuff like that. I mean, if if you feel
as though you still got it and you want to
feel that energy and you can actually make the fight,
(15:58):
or you can make the team to go try, I
don't I don't you know. I don't slight them or
judge them not one bit for trying to do it.
But I will say, how old is he? Thirty seven
seven and he hasn't fought in a long time. Just
one of those things that your mind is a very
strong mind. And listen, guys that that are in mixed
(16:21):
martial arts, they keep going. They do it for their
entire lives. But being in a competitive match versus sparring
at a dojo or at a gym is very different,
and you start to realize, like even like in like
different sports, you start to realize that I almost I
(16:42):
liken it to like dehydrated, dehydrated ligaments and and and
dried up and just disappear cartilage. You have so many
things about your body that have changed that you make
the wrong move. There's a quad tier you make a
wrong move. Here, there's a hamstring tear. You make a
bad move here, it's an a kay leades tendon. You
(17:05):
do that. It's acl the older you get and unless
your body is able to go to that level of competing,
you're just you're just at risk for weird ass injuries
like that to happen.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
As as what Brady was saying, he looked off when
he walked into the cave. You've never seen him with that.
He looked like Chuck Ladelle at the end. He just
he looked uncertain of what was gonna happen. And he
never looked like that. It didn't matter who he was fighting.
He always looked confident. He always looked like he was
ready to go. And that one that just seemed like
there was something going on.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That's part of his show. That's part of who he is,
you know, as far as how he presents himself, how
he's always gone out and fought before, and he always
has had this huge sense of confidence whether or not
he was gonna win or not. Like that was at
least what was on display, you know, from everything pre
fight to the fight itself and up until the moment
they start fighting, even during the fight at times, you know,
(18:01):
I mean I literally went back through and watched other
highlights of other starts of fights just to kind of
compare and see it was an entirely different beating. Yeah, Like,
I mean again, the kick wasn't out of the norm
for like something he kind of does sometimes. I guess
maybe that particular kick was different, but he just there
was something, something was off. And so again I don't
(18:24):
want to make too much more of it, but when
you have an early thing like that, you have this
much money on the line. I hate to be cynical,
but think like, hey, man, if you had got injured
during camp and you had a twenty million dollar whatever
number will put on us thirty million dollars pay day coming,
you don't think. And here's the thing is, if you're
UFC and I make that thing up, I'm not saying
(18:46):
Dana White's doing this. It's just it's a tough business.
Like the only thing that hurts your business the most
if you have a cancelation for your headlining match, like
that's that's what hurts business the most. You start, you know,
having the inability to get some of these big draws,
big names, to actually get into the fight itself. So
I look at it and say, yeah, I'm a little
(19:08):
bit cynical of you know what, maybe all went on, sure,
because we've seen it before, and fights we've seen it before,
and whether it be boxing or other venues like it's,
it's happened before, so it's hard not to be a
skeptic about how this whole thing went down. And obviously
you feel for McGregor because even if he I mean,
think about it from his standpoint, even if he was
(19:28):
battling through whatever it was to get into that ring
and try to fight, that's a tough position to be
in too. So I'm not trying to put necessarily the
blame on anyone. It's just the money's getting so big now.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
These guys are just trying to make it there, whether
they're healthy or not. And you can understand obviously why
he would you feel that way and be put in
that position.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
So the last time he fought, he suffered a leg
break to where he was fighting Dustin Poirier and he
stepped back and his leg folded like his above his ankle.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It was gross.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
So I don't think it popped out of this skin,
but it's one of those it was bad fracture. It
was that one Chris Weidman suffered Anderson Silva suffered.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
The same thing, Spider.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So the story behind that one was he broke it
in camp. He cracked it throwing a kick in camp,
and so he went in compromised and then stepped back
and snapped.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So that one right there.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Had he pulled out of that fight, that you know,
people would have been pissed off about that. And so
he went in there and fight and fought. And so
you wonder he looks at this and goes and Patty,
what was the number on the payout?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
He said, you had. They're seeing that. Ariel Helwanie reported
at fifteen million and guaranteed pers money.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Right, so he's getting fifteen million dollars and it's like, man,
my knees doesn't feel right, But for fifteen million dollars,
maybe I could go out there and and fight through it.
Maybe I can land a punch because he's because he
is a warrior.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
He's a warrior. I mean what he fought.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Let's not forget too. There's other people who are relying
on him, like everyone in his corner. Everyone's a part
of his camp. Like there's other people. You got to
pay out two that are a part of this. And
so that's that's the tough part. It's not you know,
obviously his family and everything else, but it's not just
him trying to get that paid. It's everyone who comes
along with him. And that becomes tough towards the end, right,
Like you get a fighter's again, I'm not trying to
(21:20):
put a shelf life on him, but he's there, ain't
getting any younger. The injuries are piling up, and usually
the people who are in your corner, they start looking
out for themselves saying, well, well who's next man, who
can I jump on with next to be in their corner.
And that's that's again not saying that as to be controversial,
just saying that's the reality of it. They got to
look out for their livelihood too, and so there's a
(21:41):
ton of pressure for those fighters going into those rings,
realizing how many people's livelihoods are on the line that
they're taken care of.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Now, there was another issue that popped up at.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
The UF that wasn't probably the worst thing that happened.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
So she Corse Stevenson, who's a phenomenal boxer, just tremendous,
just signed a deal with Zoofa Boxing, Dana White's boxing
company that he's promoting Chakar Stephenson and Shannon Sharp went
at it, and uh Shannon Sharp looked like he was
a little rattled there at one point with the way shoot.
(22:19):
Uh Chakor Stevenson was was talking to him, and so
they showed Chakor Stephenson on the screen during the pay
per view event. The problem is the graphics that it
was Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now this
has happened before. H they showed Terrence Crawford. I believe
that the White House card and the graphics showed Kendrick
(22:41):
Lamar If I'm not so, Dana White. So Dana White was.
Dana White spoke about it post UFC on Saturday Night.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
I tell you all the time, my production team, we
just did the White House. We built arena on the
south lawn of the White House, and it was the
greatest thing in the world to be there live and
to watch it on TV. I just paid Chakor Stevenson
load of money. And for some reason, we can't figure
this celebrity out. They put them up as Okase NBA player.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I mean, it's just it's absolutely crazy. But we are
the absolute worst to ever do the celebrity thing. When
we put celebrities up, we are the worst. I just
had the debate in the back with my guys while
I was screaming and everybody back there, and they said, no,
Soccer's worst. Soccer shows the people and they don't. They
don't put up any graphics. Oh no, we put a
(23:36):
graphics and put the wrong guy's name on it.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
We win.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
We're the worst ever. Hey, man, if you will to
go behind the scenes for TV, what it sounds like
to have an exact starts showing you that that was
a peak behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
That's why I respect the hell of that man.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
He at least calls it and he sees it out
outwardly like there was nothing said behind closed doors that
wasn't said behind the scenes right.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
There, I'm sure sharing the shark was sitting somewhere happy
they know your name.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Can I say this though, people have to understand how
this comes together. God blessed the cameramen out there. Hard
men and women work in the cameramans because there are
times like they're told just to shoot towards certain direction,
crowd people and everything else, and oftentimes, like you know again,
the people behind the scenes. Some of these people like
(24:30):
they like sports, but they're they're like a freelancer, or
they're working for different networks and companies, and like they
might not love the sport they're initially working for that night.
They're just trying to do a job. And oftentimes, like
they could miss id someone right, they might shoot at
the wrong person with the camera. They might they might
be shooting the person. There's someone behind the scenes trying
(24:50):
to put that name and title logo on there, and
they don't do it right because honestly, like they don't know,
like they don't know what the person looks like. So
I feel bad because there's a lot of people behind
the scenes who work really really hard, but they're not
all into like every sport they do because they do
this year round and they like travel different sports and
they're on the road all the time, and it's just
it's a lot. And so I feel bad because they're
(25:14):
kind of get thrown under the bus here. And I
think if you knew the nuances to like how it
works behind the scenes for any event or TV, it
is chaotic and like you know, oftentimes they're just being
directed by someone else. To put it in a certain direction,
and there's someone above them who's telling them, like, hey,
that's who this is right, And then people get stuff wrong.
Happens all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I feel we all look alike. Crawford does not look
like Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Tyler, Hero doesn't look like it either. Well, so the

two pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox

don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:00):

is now streaming live on Fox Won, the official English

goal download Fox Won an experience the FIFA World Cup live.
And speaking of the World Cup, only four teams remain
(28:22):
Argentina versus England and France versus Spain, with the winner
of both matches heading to the World Cup Final. Ay,
so is a ward manual? Is this this thing wrapping
up at Michigan? Is the athletic director that there's a
meetings being had.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Good good which some I wonder like how the athletic
director of Michigan is still there given everything he's been through.
Like they had a very eventful time during Ward Manual's
tenure at there, Michigan.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
M Harbaugh, Sharon Moore, Juan Howard was trimmed. O.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
You're talking about the signs stealing and all that was
going on.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
So well, he got the recruiting violations connected to him too, right, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
He bought a kid like a turkey sandwich or something
or a burger is a burger?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I mean, yeah, it's a violation. He got in trouble
for it. They got him on a film. I'm just
saying he got in trouble over just more than the
cheek gate the science stealingngatement, so I guess.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
According to ESPN, Dan Wetzel and Pete Thamil are reporting
on it, a decision on the future of Ward Manuals
anticipated in the coming days. A university spokesman told ESPN
on Sunday that the school had nothing to report and
declined further comment. But it does feel like the fact
that this is even at this point probably going to
(29:56):
get a decision.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Here, that's crazy, right. They won a national and both
major supports at the school.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It is year you know, what's crazy is there's even
stuff that like kind of flew over the radar, like
when you think of Connor Steen's and the whole science
stilling that really got the majority of the focus. But
was it Matt Weiss who was like a hacking scandal?
Remember that he was a football staffer. Oh yeah, he
faced like federal charges for computer hacking identity theft. Like
(30:27):
that was a serious, serious one.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Wait where was the Uh?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
There was a their hockey program had misconduct over like
it was and this was I believe dated back to COVID,
But there was some sort of allegations about like COVID
nineteen test deception and ended up leading to coach firings
and stuff. Like even their hockey program had some issues.
And then they had a doctor issue. They had a
(30:56):
long running doctor who had abused a number of athletes
Mondays and uh, I believe there was a settlement of
like almost half a billion. All this all this under
his tenure there at Michigan.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah, Matt Weiss, he was indicted in March of twenty
twenty five for allegedly stealing.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Back at twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
By the way, Yeah, he's stealing private videos and photos
of more than thirty three hundred student athletes, mostly women,
from over one hundred universities across the country.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
What a.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
But like horrible and a lot of these have happened
since COVID, Like since what'll we tell you like like
a five six year run? Yeah, I mean, but the
point a couple of matties though, like.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
You have problems in America. Man, if you win, you
could be untouchable for a period of time until a
certain point.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
At a certain point, this kind of ay award. It's
probably the only reason why it's even a debate right
now is that Michigan won in national title in basketball
at this past award.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
What are your comments on the former quarterbacks coach who
was scamming people going in stealing stuff and videos and
then you know, playing pocketpool to thirty three hundred different
videos out there. Well, forget about that. We just won
a national championship in basketball too, Okay, cool? Yeah, cool,
and that coach left. So I don't know, it just
(32:31):
seems that that we're here, I would anticipate this is
probably probably.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It seems procedural at this point, like I think we
all know this is gonna go. It's one of the
reasons why this is probably leaked out before him here,
maybe to judge like what the reaction is going to be.
But I don't know that there's anyone who's you know,
looking at this tenure and saying, yeah, we want some
national championships. We'd probably just looked the other playing this
other stuff like this is like some serious things and
(32:57):
I don't get it, like the Robert and Send the doctor,
the sexual abuse scandal that was, you know, some things
that maybe he inherit inherited over his tenure, like obviously
it didn't want to say happen under his watch, but
those are still things that take place that unfortunately you're
accountable for. And really the rest of what we just
mentioned was under his tenure. So hell to the victors.
(33:23):
It's a big ten man. This kind of stuff wouldn't
happen in the SEC.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I know that. That's okay. He goes out here talking
all this, we win too.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
You know what I was gonna say, they would have
just fired him a long time because they haven't won
anything that is fair.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
But listen, hopefully we'll get get some clarity and we'll
have a decision made here and we'll report on the
eventual removal of Ward manuals ad.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
The good thing about Michigan is they're not lowering their
standard and you shouldn't either, all right, and no one
lures their standard just because they get older. That's why
m drav is part of my daily team. I take
it every morning. It supports healthy testosterone, energy, metabolism and recovery.

Thank you.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
A little shot taken by the Rada there at Little
dig shot to the ribs. But yeah, nothing, nothing too crazy,
nothing special.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
It's the way, it's the way we do things. So
what are you, Sticks? I are this is I mean,
Sticks hiked his leg on on the white couch and
Hercia's peaceful sitting room. Oh and I just randomly saw it.
(36:30):
And our house is literally turning into like an animal haven.
Like I told you, we just got pen just got
a chameleon. So and now they love the chameleon so much.
Like now they're like, should we get another one? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
You should.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Yeah, but here's the thing. You can't put two males
in the They're very territorial. So like I've been hearing
air hustling like do we get another do we get
another aquarium for another spot in the house. I'm like, yeah,
tripped out, tripped out. So other than that, I mean,
(37:08):
other than Sticks hiking his leg up and hitting the
the nice room couch, not not the couch we're always on,
but the nice room couch. Like when you have company
over and it's like, oh, let's go sit over here,
da da dada, isn't that that couchy hiked his leg
up on it? You know? All right, so then let
me ask you, how do you how do you clean that?
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
She used vinegar and whatever else? Uh, material cleaner because
it's like a white It's like, yeah, wow, impressive, it
did work. And I put my nose up. I put
his nose in it, and I put my nose in it.
I smelled it after she was done. He smelled it
before she was done. The brand's called full X. It's
(37:51):
a carbon cleaner, but it works on other pulsry and
like that has vinegar in it. No, I'm just saying
for like stain.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Removal's it's really really good. Yeah, and I know this
obviously from having a puppy. That's it.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah, you know. I put his big ass and I
put and he is big. Like if he didn't want
me to move his face over there like that, I
wouldn't have been able to do it. But I put
him in a head lock. I have to treat him
like a person. I put him in a headlock and
put his face in there and start going up and
(38:22):
down with his face on on it like you don't
do that, And then I slapped him pound now get
out of here. Because we keep the doors open. We
got like a whole back wall. It's just doors, and
I keep when we keep them open. So I slapped
his ass and and he went running out. He knows
(38:43):
I gotta go outside and be outside after something like this.
And he knew what he did. He knew what he
did because when he came in the room, he was
with Penn. He came in the room, he turned the
corner and I was standing there with my hands on
my hips because I had to deal with it. So
if I'm gonna have to deal with it, you're gonna
have to deal with it. He saw me. He gave
me that look like are we going to do it?
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Like?
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Are you going to do it? He dropped his head
and walked over to me. I put him in the headline.
That's so tight, Hey, us on me. I'm going to
on you back. Hey, it ain't good slapping him though.
I tell you right now, you better get him. You
(39:25):
better get him on the right page early to because
the bigger he gets that discipline. No, Buino, he ain't
feeling that I hit him. It was like hitting a
brick wall. He ain't feel that. He didn't feel it
at all. It's like that Bison was. It was like
Boss Hogg, you know,

World Cup to learn more. Paid for by the Department
of Homeland Security. Speaking of the World Cup, only four
teams remain. It's Argentina versus England and France versus Spain,
with the winner of both matches heading to the World
Cup Final. Now, we were talking about the fight in
(01:46):
Vegas between bam Attebaio and Tyler Hero.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It probably lasted longer than what are you about to
bring up?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, it's unfortunate. So Connor McGregor makes his return. He
goes to throw a jumping switch kick right at the
start of the fight and it appears a significant knee
injury was suffered.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The problem is.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
He may have been injured before the fight, and so
there's been video that's come out. Most notably they showed
pretty quick afterwards on paramount Connor McGregor taking his shoe
off to get into the cage and it looked like
he was favoring the knee. He and his trainer have
come out, you know, on social media and said there
(02:32):
was no injury. There was no you know, nothing happened
before the fight. It was just we had planned on that,
We had drilled that to try and throw immediately when
the fight began. But there's people that are doubting the
validity of that, and it does appear that there's a
little bit of a controversy with the way that the
fight started. But at least Bam landed a punch. I
don't believe a punch was landed in this fight.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So the UFC even put out a video of McGregor warming.
I'm not sure if he saw that, and I don't
know what to make from it because it didn't look
like he was moving one hundred percent, you know. It
looked like he was just going through the motions of
some of his warm up, some of his kicks, things
he wanted to do. But if he did have a
knee injury, you could probably look at that video and say, yeah,
(03:18):
he doesn't look like he's moving as explosive. It looks
like he's moving maybe gingerly on that knee. I can
see where people are consumed. There was even video put
out by folks who was somebody who saw him going
into a medical clinic at some point in time before
the fight, during his training and the way he's walking,
I'll be honest with you, I mean, I don't know
that there's any definitive evidence that he's going in for
(03:41):
that or had an issue with his knee. It looks
like he's maybe a little stiff, maybe a little rigid
from training or something else. Like I don't know what
to draw to it. I mean, var you've been there, right,
you got some of those workouts. I mean, he's in
a camp training for a fight on times. I'm sure
he's sore as hell, So you might be walking stiff
as hell, like walking into some point. Maybe he's getting IV,
(04:01):
maybe he's getting some other treatment. I have no idea.
I just I know that everything that's been put out there.
And then after watching that fight and watching the walk out,
he didn't look the same. And I get he's older,
and I don't know, he's got a lot of other
things that are going on right now.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
He looked unsure.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It looked like if you were going into a fight
and you've got past experience where you're this beast, you're
this animal, you're on top of the world, which he
was at one point that that was not the demeanor
he took into that octagon. It looked like there was
either some other thought, concerns, something else, and and maybe
(04:42):
it you know, but the reality is it's a thirty
million dollar payoff, so he knows he's got to go
in there and do all he can to make it work.
And you know, again, I'm not I'm not sure if
he just got in there was like, Yep, this ain't
gonna work.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Joe Rogan was like, what the hell is he doing?
Basically like you just don't you don't try at type
of maneuver, try to try to take that type of attack.
It just seemed like a careless attack. But have you
guys ever been on a on a matt Have you
guys ever been on like like they can like depending
(05:17):
on like how your feet are, it can be really
really slick.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And that one is more now because they have more
branding logos.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It can be very very slick. And so you want
to try to make sure you get a good feel for,
you know, how your footing is in a fight. And
this is a this is a prize fight, is a
major fight. So just to come out that early and
(05:48):
take such a aggressive leap forward with such a commit
a commitment to that kick in particular, you know, it
sets up I mean, if he doesn't get hurt, nobody
is nobody cares, right, But the fact that it did
hurt first thing. I thought. Everybody's like, oh, he blew
(06:09):
it out, Oh he blew it out. Didn't look like
he blew it out. It looked like he was still
trying to use it. What it to me came across
as like he bone bruised that bad boy, Like the
way he came down on it, the force he came
down and put his foot down when he landed, it
looked like a bone bruise like and if you bone
(06:30):
bruise immediately, that s is almost It's one of the
most painful deals you could deal with, is a bone bruise.
During the Monmouth massacre, that was one of the that
was probably the worst pain you felt out of everything
you did.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
They told me, yeah, you'll recover from this fairly quickly.
The bone bruise will last eight to nine months.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Really, they're right, it's so painful. It is. A bone
bruise is so painful. That's what it looked like to me.
Because he's still tried to use his leg like he
would put it down and if you watch it, rewatch it,
he put it down. And if he tried to over exert,
it was like it like what they call it twins
(07:12):
or something like that, like like it's like E like
that that pain that hit you and it's like you
just give out, like oh, I'm going down because of
the pain that strikes you when you put the pressure
on it. That's what it kind of struck me. As
that's like when he fell down, it's like, oh he
as soon as he puts that real pressure on it,
that pain is is crazy bad.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
But do you think he heard it from the flying
roundhouse kick then? Is that what you're saying, because like
I've seen other fights where he he does open with
some like you know, leg sidekicks, leading leg sidekicks or
like spinning back kicks. I haven't seen him do that before,
but he does. He does kind of come out sometimes
it's like a bit flashy, like with.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
His opening And like I said, if he didn't if
he didn't get hurt, I don't think anybody. I think
Joe Rogan would have still been like what is he doing?
But I don't I don't think there would have been
too much scrutiny on what he did. It's just it
is what it is. But the fact that it did
lead to such a major injury during the course of
the match, that's that's what I would think is maybe
(08:15):
it was already injured or but he's still I mean,
he was moving. How about that he walked to the
he walked out. He walked out like they didn't have
the system out. He looked like he was walking on
a acl Yeah, you could.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I wonder, you know, I don't know if it was
maybe hurt, but he was like, I can get through it.
And then he further damaged it when he made a
portion to do that. Yeah, And so I wonder because
he is a fast starter and he's also a guy
to where and everyone you know going into the fight
was like, if he's going to win this fight against Max,
Holloway was really good.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It was going to be early.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Because he he doesn't have the cardio or the gas
tank and he never has in any of his fights.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And Max that long did Holloway right. Halloway he did
land punches, by the way, Well, he was trying not to, yeah,
but he was he was popping him.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
And he said, after we stopped and he said afterwards,
but Gregor was yelling at him to fight. He no,
keep fighting, like, told him to told him to keep punching.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
He was getting socked. Now he did have a.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I saw that Connor McGregor did have those cup marks.
So maybe when he was walking into that clinic he
was getting some cupwork done. I don't know exactly what
the cupwork does, but he did have those purple suction cup.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Marks, you little bitch.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah yeah, Patty Pimblet thought he fought in that car too.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
That was the kid with the corn rolls. Yeah, yeah,
he's good. How flexible is he?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Ju is great? Geeze bro.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Geez, you little bitch. He rolled that man over your
little fop buks. I just think y'all should leave it
to him because the way y'all say it is way
it sounds way different your little fire bucks. Yeah yeah,
I say, wait, hey, look though, he spun that man
(10:15):
like a crocodile or alligator wild.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, it literally looked like and the dude couldn't.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
One of the scariest deals and and and mixed martial
arts is the idea of if you get, if you
get to submitted in a way like that, you don't
you don't know, like he grabbed his arm and his
arm just went down, but that had to been like
one one two seconds, like one second of getting choked out.
(10:47):
It feels like an attorney.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Right, let's let let's go. Let's get this out there. Though,
Like the fact part of this is how much did
he make from the fight? Was it thirty?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
McGregor, Yeah, I'm not sure because there's some people of
questioned because they don't have the pay per view model anymore.
Just some people have wanted there's not as much clarity
on how much they're getting paid because I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Know what would be your best guest fifteen. Let's say
the purse was thirty.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I mean, he's the draw twenty. All those all away
popular too.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
My point is this, how do you know he's getting
He's getting to the age where you know, every one
of these fights matters more and more. I mean, I
think for like a lot of athletes, you know, the
last or final years they've got. I'm not saying he's
done after this, but he is getting up there in age.
He's got a bunch of other ventures things going on,
and obviously off you know, outside of the octagon, that's
(11:46):
been well documented to some of the different issues. But
my point is is the money is getting so big,
and we saw this in boxing. We saw this with
Pacquiao Mayweather, where Pacio went in that fight banged up
from camp, like the money too big to not to
push this fight back, to not be able to go
through with it. Like that's the problem, And that's that's
(12:07):
some of the issue that I have with this nowadays,
is you know in camp, there's gonna be injuries, there's
gonna be things that happened. But for most of these fighters,
like it's too big of a pay day, So yeah,
we can have another one at some point. But for McGregor,
like I'm not saying he needs the money. I don't
know his financial situation. He's probably made a ton of money.
But we see other boxes, other fighters guys who need
the money and they're gonna go through with it, everything
(12:29):
everything they can just to get there to get that payday.
Are of a shot a portion of that payday.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
It's also the Paquia Mayweather fight. I understood the complaints
people had because there was lawsuits afterwards when it came
out that Pakia had the torn rotator cuff, which you
can see him in the Mayweather fight. He I think
it was like the third or fourth round he threw
a punch and you could tell the fight was different
after that because he was doing well at times, but
(12:55):
he just didn't have full ability to throw a punch.
And not that he would have beaten Mayweather any but
it would have been a better fight and give him
a better opportunity because he did have moments in it.
But there was people afterwards that filed lawsuits because the
pay per view at the time was one hundred dollars
or something like that, and they felt like they were
sold to bill of goods because the guy went in
and he was compromised, so they didn't get what they
(13:15):
thought they were going to be getting. And you don't
hear anybody say that with this fight because it's a
streaming service like you already have it, so you're not
paying a pay per view. But what about what people
who attended, Well, the people who attended and also the betters,
something like eighty five to ninety percent of the money
(13:36):
was on McGregor, so the sportsbooks did great. So they're
the ones that look at this and go, well, that sucks.
I mean if the guy was injured going into the fight.
But you guys talk about all the time, at what
point during the NFL season are you healthy?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Day one a training camp? Right, So all of these guys,
depending on what year you're in in the league, once
you're in the league for a little bit, never I.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Mean, so all of these, all of these fighters go
into fights banged up. They all do, and like their
training camps are hard, you know, you see you mentioned
the suction cups whatever. Some guys will have a bum
ankle and so instead of wrapping one ankle, to wrap
both of them. So it just seems like, oh, they're
just they want to have you know, better better grip
or better feel. Or they've got one knee brace on,
(14:26):
so they'll throw another one off so nobody thinks anything.
Or one jock strap, yeah, something like that, you know,
with two ass cheeks, and so I look at it.
I go Had he not fought, then they would have
criticized him because that's happened before to where he suffered
an injury and wasn't able to make make the walk
and make the fight, and so he got criticized for that.
And so yeah, he went and banged up, but I
(14:47):
think all these guys go going banged up. And so
the criticism that Pakiao got back then, imagine all those
people that were looking forward to that pay per view
and Pacy I was like, I can't fight.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I've got a hurt shoulder. They talks so bad about
they had to talk so bad about him that the
people who went to the fight, I mean, you made it.
You could tell it was a spectacle. There were so
many celebrities at the fight. You could tell that it
was a like this is a night out, like this
is Connor McGregor's name draws like a like a Floyd mayweb.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
And the card was great, except it was a great
car said.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
That, right, that's crazy, man.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
But like imagine if it was one hundred dollars pay
per view, then there people will be like, oh, come
on man, we didn't we didn't get what we what
we bought here. But it's a streaming service. You already
you already have paramount.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Plus it will be interesting to see what what the
cuts were. But and I could care less why he
was fighting. I mean, sometimes you just you try. I mean,
we're we're seeing that Aaron Donald was at the facility
and stuff like that. I mean, if if you feel
as though you still got it and you want to
feel that energy and you can actually make the fight,
(15:58):
or you can make the team to go try, I
don't I don't you know. I don't slight them or
judge them not one bit for trying to do it.
But I will say, how old is he? Thirty seven
seven and he hasn't fought in a long time. Just
one of those things that your mind is a very
strong mind. And listen, guys that that are in mixed
(16:21):
martial arts, they keep going. They do it for their
entire lives. But being in a competitive match versus sparring
at a dojo or at a gym is very different,
and you start to realize, like even like in like
different sports, you start to realize that I almost I
(16:42):
liken it to like dehydrated, dehydrated ligaments and and and
dried up and just disappear cartilage. You have so many
things about your body that have changed that you make
the wrong move. There's a quad tier you make a
wrong move. Here, there's a hamstring tear. You make a
bad move here, it's an a kay leades tendon. You
(17:05):
do that. It's acl the older you get and unless
your body is able to go to that level of competing,
you're just you're just at risk for weird ass injuries
like that to happen.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
As as what Brady was saying, he looked off when
he walked into the cave. You've never seen him with that.
He looked like Chuck Ladelle at the end. He just
he looked uncertain of what was gonna happen. And he
never looked like that. It didn't matter who he was fighting.
He always looked confident. He always looked like he was
ready to go. And that one that just seemed like
there was something going on.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
That's part of his show. That's part of who he is,
you know, as far as how he presents himself, how
he's always gone out and fought before, and he always
has had this huge sense of confidence whether or not
he was gonna win or not. Like that was at
least what was on display, you know, from everything pre
fight to the fight itself and up until the moment
they start fighting, even during the fight at times, you know,
(18:01):
I mean I literally went back through and watched other
highlights of other starts of fights just to kind of
compare and see it was an entirely different beating. Yeah, Like,
I mean again, the kick wasn't out of the norm
for like something he kind of does sometimes. I guess
maybe that particular kick was different, but he just there
was something, something was off. And so again I don't
(18:24):
want to make too much more of it, but when
you have an early thing like that, you have this
much money on the line. I hate to be cynical,
but think like, hey, man, if you had got injured
during camp and you had a twenty million dollar whatever
number will put on us thirty million dollars pay day coming,
you don't think. And here's the thing is, if you're
UFC and I make that thing up, I'm not saying
(18:46):
Dana White's doing this. It's just it's a tough business.
Like the only thing that hurts your business the most
if you have a cancelation for your headlining match, like
that's that's what hurts business the most. You start, you know,
having the inability to get some of these big draws,
big names, to actually get into the fight itself. So
I look at it and say, yeah, I'm a little
(19:08):
bit cynical of you know what, maybe all went on, sure,
because we've seen it before, and fights we've seen it before,
and whether it be boxing or other venues like it's,
it's happened before, so it's hard not to be a
skeptic about how this whole thing went down. And obviously
you feel for McGregor because even if he I mean,
think about it from his standpoint, even if he was
(19:28):
battling through whatever it was to get into that ring
and try to fight, that's a tough position to be
in too. So I'm not trying to put necessarily the
blame on anyone. It's just the money's getting so big now.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
These guys are just trying to make it there, whether
they're healthy or not. And you can understand obviously why
he would you feel that way and be put in
that position.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
So the last time he fought, he suffered a leg
break to where he was fighting Dustin Poirier and he
stepped back and his leg folded like his above his ankle.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It was gross.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
So I don't think it popped out of this skin,
but it's one of those it was bad fracture. It
was that one Chris Weidman suffered Anderson Silva suffered.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
The same thing, Spider.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So the story behind that one was he broke it
in camp. He cracked it throwing a kick in camp,
and so he went in compromised and then stepped back
and snapped.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So that one right there.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Had he pulled out of that fight, that you know,
people would have been pissed off about that. And so
he went in there and fight and fought. And so
you wonder he looks at this and goes and Patty,
what was the number on the payout?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
He said, you had. They're seeing that. Ariel Helwanie reported
at fifteen million and guaranteed pers money.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Right, so he's getting fifteen million dollars and it's like, man,
my knees doesn't feel right, But for fifteen million dollars,
maybe I could go out there and and fight through it.
Maybe I can land a punch because he's because he
is a warrior.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
He's a warrior. I mean what he fought.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Let's not forget too. There's other people who are relying
on him, like everyone in his corner. Everyone's a part
of his camp. Like there's other people. You got to
pay out two that are a part of this. And
so that's that's the tough part. It's not you know,
obviously his family and everything else, but it's not just
him trying to get that paid. It's everyone who comes
along with him. And that becomes tough towards the end, right,
Like you get a fighter's again, I'm not trying to
(21:20):
put a shelf life on him, but he's there, ain't
getting any younger. The injuries are piling up, and usually
the people who are in your corner, they start looking
out for themselves saying, well, well who's next man, who
can I jump on with next to be in their corner.
And that's that's again not saying that as to be controversial,
just saying that's the reality of it. They got to
look out for their livelihood too, and so there's a
(21:41):
ton of pressure for those fighters going into those rings,
realizing how many people's livelihoods are on the line that
they're taken care of.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Now, there was another issue that popped up at.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
The UF that wasn't probably the worst thing that happened.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
So she Corse Stevenson, who's a phenomenal boxer, just tremendous,
just signed a deal with Zoofa Boxing, Dana White's boxing
company that he's promoting Chakar Stephenson and Shannon Sharp went
at it, and uh Shannon Sharp looked like he was
a little rattled there at one point with the way shoot.
(22:19):
Uh Chakor Stevenson was was talking to him, and so
they showed Chakor Stephenson on the screen during the pay
per view event. The problem is the graphics that it
was Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now this
has happened before. H they showed Terrence Crawford. I believe
that the White House card and the graphics showed Kendrick
(22:41):
Lamar If I'm not so, Dana White. So Dana White was.
Dana White spoke about it post UFC on Saturday Night.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
I tell you all the time, my production team, we
just did the White House. We built arena on the
south lawn of the White House, and it was the
greatest thing in the world to be there live and
to watch it on TV. I just paid Chakor Stevenson
load of money. And for some reason, we can't figure
this celebrity out. They put them up as Okase NBA player.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (23:15):
I mean, it's just it's absolutely crazy. But we are
the absolute worst to ever do the celebrity thing. When
we put celebrities up, we are the worst. I just
had the debate in the back with my guys while
I was screaming and everybody back there, and they said, no,
Soccer's worst. Soccer shows the people and they don't. They
don't put up any graphics. Oh no, we put a
(23:36):
graphics and put the wrong guy's name on it.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
We win.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
We're the worst ever. Hey, man, if you will to
go behind the scenes for TV, what it sounds like
to have an exact starts showing you that that was
a peak behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
That's why I respect the hell of that man.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
He at least calls it and he sees it out
outwardly like there was nothing said behind closed doors that
wasn't said behind the scenes right.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
There, I'm sure sharing the shark was sitting somewhere happy
they know your name.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Can I say this though, people have to understand how
this comes together. God blessed the cameramen out there. Hard
men and women work in the cameramans because there are
times like they're told just to shoot towards certain direction,
crowd people and everything else, and oftentimes, like you know again,
the people behind the scenes. Some of these people like
(24:30):
they like sports, but they're they're like a freelancer, or
they're working for different networks and companies, and like they
might not love the sport they're initially working for that night.
They're just trying to do a job. And oftentimes, like
they could miss id someone right, they might shoot at
the wrong person with the camera. They might they might
be shooting the person. There's someone behind the scenes trying
(24:50):
to put that name and title logo on there, and
they don't do it right because honestly, like they don't know,
like they don't know what the person looks like. So
I feel bad because there's a lot of people behind
the scenes who work really really hard, but they're not
all into like every sport they do because they do
this year round and they like travel different sports and
they're on the road all the time, and it's just
it's a lot. And so I feel bad because they're
(25:14):
kind of get thrown under the bus here. And I
think if you knew the nuances to like how it
works behind the scenes for any event or TV, it
is chaotic and like you know, oftentimes they're just being
directed by someone else. To put it in a certain direction,
and there's someone above them who's telling them, like, hey,
that's who this is right, And then people get stuff wrong.
Happens all the time.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I feel we all look alike. Crawford does not look
like Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Tyler, Hero doesn't look like it either. Well, so the

And speaking of the World Cup, only four teams remain
(28:22):
Argentina versus England and France versus Spain, with the winner
of both matches heading to the World Cup Final. Ay,
so is a ward manual? Is this this thing wrapping
up at Michigan? Is the athletic director that there's a
meetings being had.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Good good which some I wonder like how the athletic
director of Michigan is still there given everything he's been through.
Like they had a very eventful time during Ward Manual's
tenure at there, Michigan.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
M Harbaugh, Sharon Moore, Juan Howard was trimmed. O.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
You're talking about the signs stealing and all that was
going on.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
So well, he got the recruiting violations connected to him too, right, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
He bought a kid like a turkey sandwich or something
or a burger is a burger?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I mean, yeah, it's a violation. He got in trouble
for it. They got him on a film. I'm just
saying he got in trouble over just more than the
cheek gate the science stealingngatement, so I guess.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
According to ESPN, Dan Wetzel and Pete Thamil are reporting
on it, a decision on the future of Ward Manuals
anticipated in the coming days. A university spokesman told ESPN
on Sunday that the school had nothing to report and
declined further comment. But it does feel like the fact
that this is even at this point probably going to
(29:56):
get a decision.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Here, that's crazy, right. They won a national and both
major supports at the school.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It is year you know, what's crazy is there's even
stuff that like kind of flew over the radar, like
when you think of Connor Steen's and the whole science
stilling that really got the majority of the focus. But
was it Matt Weiss who was like a hacking scandal?
Remember that he was a football staffer. Oh yeah, he
faced like federal charges for computer hacking identity theft. Like
(30:27):
that was a serious, serious one.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Wait where was the Uh?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
There was a their hockey program had misconduct over like
it was and this was I believe dated back to COVID,
But there was some sort of allegations about like COVID
nineteen test deception and ended up leading to coach firings
and stuff. Like even their hockey program had some issues.
And then they had a doctor issue. They had a
(30:56):
long running doctor who had abused a number of athletes
Mondays and uh, I believe there was a settlement of
like almost half a billion. All this all this under
his tenure there at Michigan.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah, Matt Weiss, he was indicted in March of twenty
twenty five for allegedly stealing.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Back at twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
By the way, Yeah, he's stealing private videos and photos
of more than thirty three hundred student athletes, mostly women,
from over one hundred universities across the country.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
What a.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
But like horrible and a lot of these have happened
since COVID, Like since what'll we tell you like like
a five six year run? Yeah, I mean, but the
point a couple of matties though, like.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
You have problems in America. Man, if you win, you
could be untouchable for a period of time until a
certain point.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
At a certain point, this kind of ay award. It's
probably the only reason why it's even a debate right
now is that Michigan won in national title in basketball
at this past award.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
What are your comments on the former quarterbacks coach who
was scamming people going in stealing stuff and videos and
then you know, playing pocketpool to thirty three hundred different
videos out there. Well, forget about that. We just won
a national championship in basketball too, Okay, cool? Yeah, cool,
and that coach left. So I don't know, it just
(32:31):
seems that that we're here, I would anticipate this is
probably probably.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
It seems procedural at this point, like I think we
all know this is gonna go. It's one of the
reasons why this is probably leaked out before him here,
maybe to judge like what the reaction is going to be.
But I don't know that there's anyone who's you know,
looking at this tenure and saying, yeah, we want some
national championships. We'd probably just looked the other playing this
other stuff like this is like some serious things and
(32:57):
I don't get it, like the Robert and Send the doctor,
the sexual abuse scandal that was, you know, some things
that maybe he inherit inherited over his tenure, like obviously
it didn't want to say happen under his watch, but
those are still things that take place that unfortunately you're
accountable for. And really the rest of what we just
mentioned was under his tenure. So hell to the victors.
(33:23):
It's a big ten man. This kind of stuff wouldn't
happen in the SEC.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I know that. That's okay. He goes out here talking
all this, we win too.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
You know what I was gonna say, they would have
just fired him a long time because they haven't won
anything that is fair.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
But listen, hopefully we'll get get some clarity and we'll
have a decision made here and we'll report on the
eventual removal of Ward manuals ad.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
The good thing about Michigan is they're not lowering their
standard and you shouldn't either, all right, and no one
lures their standard just because they get older. That's why
m drav is part of my daily team. I take
it every morning. It supports healthy testosterone, energy, metabolism and recovery.

a chameleon. So and now they love the chameleon so much.
Like now they're like, should we get another one? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:46):

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Yeah, but here's the thing. You can't put two males
in the They're very territorial. So like I've been hearing
air hustling like do we get another do we get
another aquarium for another spot in the house. I'm like, yeah,
tripped out, tripped out. So other than that, I mean,
(37:08):
other than Sticks hiking his leg up and hitting the
the nice room couch, not not the couch we're always on,
but the nice room couch. Like when you have company
over and it's like, oh, let's go sit over here,
da da dada, isn't that that couchy hiked his leg
up on it? You know? All right, so then let
me ask you, how do you how do you clean that?
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
She used vinegar and whatever else? Uh, material cleaner because
it's like a white It's like, yeah, wow, impressive, it
did work. And I put my nose up. I put
his nose in it, and I put my nose in it.
I smelled it after she was done. He smelled it
before she was done. The brand's called full X. It's
(37:51):
a carbon cleaner, but it works on other pulsry and
like that has vinegar in it. No, I'm just saying
for like stain.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Removal's it's really really good. Yeah, and I know this
obviously from having a puppy. That's it.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah, you know. I put his big ass and I
put and he is big. Like if he didn't want
me to move his face over there like that, I
wouldn't have been able to do it. But I put
him in a head lock. I have to treat him
like a person. I put him in a headlock and
put his face in there and start going up and
(38:22):
down with his face on on it like you don't
do that, And then I slapped him pound now get
out of here. Because we keep the doors open. We
got like a whole back wall. It's just doors, and
I keep when we keep them open. So I slapped
his ass and and he went running out. He knows
(38:43):
I gotta go outside and be outside after something like this.
And he knew what he did. He knew what he
did because when he came in the room, he was
with Penn. He came in the room, he turned the
corner and I was standing there with my hands on
my hips because I had to deal with it. So
if I'm gonna have to deal with it, you're gonna
have to deal with it. He saw me. He gave
me that look like are we going to do it?
Speaker 3 (39:04):

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Are you going to do it? He dropped his head
and walked over to me. I put him in the headline.
That's so tight, Hey, us on me. I'm going to
on you back. Hey, it ain't good slapping him though.
I tell you right now, you better get him. You
(39:25):
better get him on the right page early to because
the bigger he gets that discipline. No, Buino, he ain't
feeling that I hit him. It was like hitting a
brick wall. He ain't feel that. He didn't feel it
at all. It's like that Bison was. It was like
