What you think of when you see the tollbooths that I would meet James, you are doing this for welcome everyone.

Welcome to the rich doesn't show, I am Ben Lyons. I am honored and humbled excited and thrilled to be back in the big chair for another week this summer and I can't long. I love showing up here and here every day this week, 9 o'clock on the West Coast pulled into the rich eyes and show studios and everybody's on brand like walking into a time warp. You think everybody is just doing a cartoon version of themselves for so I never knew that TJ had. I can iced out goat around his neck so that glimmering this morning and one time this last two hours so blinded by his paparazzi me when I pull up in my rental car already on camera remaking contents of TJ very on brand J transfer to set a fast 10 Vin Diesel went well this year because he was lighting candles today also. Of course we found out that Asher Roth was good to be on the show was in the I love college my friend for 25 years as CDs carry on brand present rock when he tells me about how he hates Carl into the towns would never pick him up and pick up at the end of the Red Sox had eyes all sites and become back last night and back in top NBA finals. Once you know it and talking Boston Celtics what what is there to see very on Brandon want to get into that. We talk so much basketball, I'm sorry I got something about the title as well.

But I do absolutely no Philadelphia back looking like Brooke Zuckerberg so I ran everybody's on brand and a lots happened since I think I know TJ and I crushed a lot of rigatoni together over some of our wants and great NFL playoff game is NBA action. Thanks for the invite.

You're always on duty every email you do anything, but I got hit with three assistants. Palm pilots you like figuring out your schedule between the people to say you're not can it come from the valley the whole way to deepen Santa Monica to have pizza in the possibilities and Sony is not as famous as the Carbone rigatoni, but it's only we watch the bills to Alzheimer's, that was a great team that feels she's playoff and pretty sure I said like two minutes. Let them like like three more touch work that you ordered some Kolmar then as well, but Eliza champions broccoli. I went to the death Star. That is the Sophia Stadium. We went to the game. I talked to you after the game is during the game. I can hear you and I we saw the goat Tom Brown's touchdown pass in person so check that off the sports bucket list, but I feel like you know as a long-suffering LA Rams fan I didn't get the respect I deserve is a Super Bowl champion coming back to the studio like no one is talking about how after years and years of putting up with traffic on the 405.

I finally got a Super Bowl and and nobody mentions it around.

Probably no one mentioned it is because nobody knew you were Rams with my spiritual journey. The class this is like another. I'm not sure he does offer caveats or whatever is summer when your hero is all about diehard liquor fandom because, for microphone all this year, but also did say that the Niners should just stick with Jimmy Gee last year and he did that to get to that Asher Roth is the biggest 49ers fan I know so that you know what that of the date first interview let's bring in the biggest 49ers fan I know everyone.

How in the show last year as of the 90s and stick with Jimmy Gee they did. They went to the NFC championship just want to put that out there that's rough. The black come on at 920 you know I was a lifelong diehard Philadelphia Eagles family grew up in New York City in the 80s and 90s, how sorry is simply be wise you guys know my sports hero happens to be my dad, who is New York City's biggest Boston Red Sox fan for years and years I would see him suffer an entire subway cars would chant Boston sock Lyons socks were truly imprints you as an 11-year-old.

And that's me and I saw in yoga four World Series. I idolize my that's all I fell in love with the Philadelphia Eagles when Randall Cunningham was comeback player of the year had devastating injury early in his career, missing a whole season came back the next year Monday night game and 92 were siblings. Both teams the Cowboys and the Eagles are for now on Monday night football and the Eagles go down to Dallas and they put on a show where the clean white soprano goes for a touchdown. The first drive-in up on the cover of Sports Illustrated next week. Five.

No, like this is my team talk with the Eagles. I love them growing up. I got to see some great football. Sadly, I went to the last game of the event were Joe Jared Fisher scored two touchdowns and John got booted have to offer only loss I stuck with them and then they made it to a Super Bowl despite seal with aluminum rods in his leg. They couldn't get it done against Tom Brady and he read still waiting for the hurry up offense in the fourth quarter stuck with it for years and then I went to a Monday night football game in 2006, 14 or 1515 down in Philadelphia.

I told the story before it fell like I was on the set of mad Max restricted trash cans on fire and just people being filings in the parking lot. I just know my tribe positive guy. Hopefully if you're listening or watching this week or hang out with us on Sirius XM or Westwood wanted to see Alper on peacock refiner clips on YouTube wherever we are really like it Monday morning.

But by Friday. I have nice positive person is negative energy you guys they sell crab prizes lighting crabs on the fries at the places garbage. I denounce my defendant to the Philadelphia Eagles. I went to the beach I to say on. So when the water was all thing. I wafted is really a lot and sign up for the ramps first played in LA after 20 years in St. Louis. Some shoe men drink from the Cowboys once it back to the house for a touchdown. I was okay getting in from rock bottom right first place back in LA in the Coliseum after 20 years. The first play guy runs back for a touchdown. That's rock-bottom Jeff Fisher say were going not eaten eight not 97, whatever on harmonizing a four and 12 does that is bad and then the Eagles going to win the Super Bowl. Oh my God, what an opportunity to bail from this plan is disastrous sold change tell anybody about this. I went to the beach but so became Rams fan. Despite the Eagles winning and then I saw the footage of that Eagles fan eating horse manure in the streets of Philadelphia the night. They won the Super Bowl and I said, I am confirming my feeling that this is not my thing Google that broccoli Google Eagles fan.

I remember what happened. Chris ends up as a reminder and then I stuck with Jerry Goffman and he and the baby faced court of a lawsuit to TV 12 and I stuck with it. You guys I persevered. I putting all those hours taking the Metro. It's not as easy or steady as you think it is to get down to the games. I'm sorry and so I finally find a Super Bowl ring and not even a mention from anybody. Nothing will allow me to clarify that wrong. Congratulations on you so very much and I hope you get one in your lifetime you know I will end actual season-ticket holder like congratulate me a fantasy implications and you mainly do something at the football game that I will never do again. I don't know. Oh my God, what is happened. I was like so horrified and you said it was such conviction and I was your guess.

And so we had to do a peer pressure Mr. T would not be happy you got to play the 50-50 $100 in lottery tickets and a football game. He has an addiction to 50 brought me hundred bucks for a moment, then Lyons, here's the deal, you play the lottery. I occasionally will buy a scratch off game if it's one of those games.

It takes more than just three scratches. I don't want to bingo that's going to give me about nine minutes of entertainment for my wonderful mentors for 40 this week I'm going to go to your odds of winning that are ones including 00.

Your odds of winning are zero. I going to win a ballgame when you play the 50-50.

There's only 70,000 people at the game, someone is going to win one in 70,000. Much better than one in 3 trillion okay doesn't have a system in your approaching the 50-50. It's too intense for me are already at a football game being the worst version of themselves already eating garbage were yelling at people are like leaning so positive we don't need to know that I slammed like 32 ounce Modelo. The so fast like I don't even drink like that. That's why he did it out of Modelo. The back to Sophia to get you know what kind of friend banner night will see the rest of the season so stick it but I joke about my own experiences as a Rams fan and the lack of respect that that I've gotten from this group to relax but I think it's actually the sentiment around the sport and around the week. Nobody's really talking like you have to go through LA in order to get to Super Bowl nobody.

Everybody's not talking about a million other storylines and moves in trades and people haven't moved will get into all that, this week on a get to Russ in Denver and and a lot of stuff but no one is talking about the Rams and how good they are and how they been knocking at the door. Pre-much every year since they've been here and on hired out for them to repeat.

I think they are going to repeat and I think that now it's about time that people start talking about the Rams we head into this football season.

What year did you just call the repeat role earshot. Rich calls World Series games in June, July, the Rams are the one to 345 text betting favorite right now 12 to 1. Okay, that tells you everything you need to know first of all Vegas always puts the LA teams a little higher up than they should be because they know guys like Jay take the Maserati out to Vegas and the money there's six should be like ninth in their eyes to their inflating them up to six right now bills are betting favorite there about that six or 71. Depending on where you have your action, the boxer second, followed by the Chiefs Chargers 10 to 1 of their own stadium and I don't know if I was I had any meat on the bone for this first segment of our know Ben's not getting the ramp and all the Rams are holy is his morning she Chargers are favored over the Rams to win the Super Bowl, Packers, and the crazy week.

Yeah, well, what are the Arizona Cardinals odds because statistically speaking the statistics they are going to win the Super Bowl this year. Based upon what leasing the last time have back to back home team went down. Let's see we got ravens and Niners eight. No one Bengals Broncos 20 to 1, Cowboys 22. I want to get the Cowboys Super Bowl odds in July. We know it's time to go to break coming up on the show today admin work is going to be hanging out talking a little tendencies big Roger Fetter guys. I wonder how we deal with all the Joker stuff my friend Daniel Robles was out of WNBA All-Star weekend in Chicago shook like a five so she cannot shut the doors in Chicago. Should be a lot of fun. Yesterday I was out on the golf course you guys. My friend Sam. She hits bombs she plays Callaway every golf equipment company claims to be longer off the T by sought in person. Yesterday's woman hits bombs Cowboys new Road SE driver. She had one of those is the only one bill to completely vomit.

It's been speed soon to be Callaway's fastest, most stable driver ever. Every rogue ST is engineered with the new tungsten speed cartridge TSC which gives you more speed on off-center hits and provides more forgiveness thanks to high M all lies so many acronyms with.

That's just the beginning because Callaway has engineered a Road SE for every player. Most golfers will fit into the max because of its incredible combination of distance and forgiveness. But there's also Max Jeter dedicated draw model for players who need more shape correction.

Now if you need something more low spin Sam like Mike Trout on the golf course I had to drive. There's max LS, which gives you stronger. Another acronym trigger trajectory with a more neutral ball flight but for the true players out there players playwright TJ the rogue ST triple diamond LS is the compact low spin head that the tour players love Callaway has thought through every aspect of speed so all you have to do is go to row find your rogue stdriver@callawaygo.com/Goal Rd., Asher Roth talking 49ers next been lines shown in all week on the rich eyes and show over I will come back to the rich eyes and show big show on on hands and am excited that had the inverse can be called a little bit will talk a little major league baseball. We've got Red Sox Yankees from last night broccoli my dad fired up Fenway Park Veronica in July rate and and then Daniel Robie was out of WNBA All-Star festivities in Chicago which look like a real vibe Sue Byrd saying goodbye to the W and yeah really cool moment were back on the rich eyes and show all week long been lines filling in for. It's really cool moment yesterday on Chicago Candace Parker of course in Chicago sky defending champs and having a vibe out there since the wrapper or just a great moment for the W honoring Sue Byrd bringing a lot of attention to Britney Greiner situation in Russia. So really only from WNBA this weekend so Danielle she covers for AT&T. She was out there hanging out to know stuff she's going to give us some stories coming up in a little bit into your Asher Roth on the Mercedes-Benz following suite Mercedes-Benz man's phone line Asher Roth joining us right now.

How are you my man wanted talking 49ers but then I find out that your buddies are TJ Jefferson for like 20 years and he was in the island college video so all out the window did the me as well.

But you know we can always teach a relationship with.

Freelancing will talk to Jimmy G. And like the one Jimmy G fan on the planet. But you know each other. I think it important thing you know that connection runs long and strong so whenever the artists want to be athletes and athletes want to be harder so long and strong relationship with athletic sport I love it… That's Roth.

You know it started back in Atlanta. Brian, you know, in the scooter sign Asher and I was working on a show called your mama down there with William around the room and then we all kinda linked open men asked Roth and those like you know that we described in our lives have been the pitch meetings for your mama to show your mama jokes not sold second Asher talk to me like a 49ers-women I feel good right excitement is what all the speculation right as you know, as everyone knows around the NFL.

All things have to run through Los Angeles to being at the Rams are the defending champions, what makes you think Niners have enough to get over the top to give you that I'm even mastered kind of running on a broken wheel.

We are still able to run to the championship.

I actually got a chance to go to the Niners ramp and where the Niners clenched and beat around in their home. With it being kind of 70% 49er fan and also did ion up the fact that I knew Embry Thomas to collect at that game sealing interception and so that's why I feel good about it because we shored up the secondary we already dominate Los Angeles as far as the fan fan base. Anyway, most of the fans in Los Angeles are 49er fan and so I feel pretty confident going in all right entrée Manson. It's a big I don't know but you know it's up to me. I feel like I could just look like a lion King's Roth joining the show. He's pushing his chest out.

Even though we celebrating December winds blowing deep in the January and February down here in LA again. It's fine, but are you excited about this passing the baton the quarterback position because last year I came on the show and said they should write out the GG thing.

Everyone in this room everyone listening and watching lap to me and they went to that NFC championship game so you excited for what's happening at the quarterback port quarterback position with the 49ers. Yeah, I think you have to be. I mean watch me play a lot of a lot of good that quickly given the share. I don't keep in mind that we went. We had a very complete team. You know are things that have been like even last year's playoff struggle against the Packers and are struggling special teams ended up actually winning that game and defense, keeping Aragon riders and checks out. You know that's why I feel pretty good about it because I won't plan to give you because coming from where he came from and the quarterback position in the stability that he brought for the most part but just really exciting to know what trailer is capable of, and his potential and to see that this year to lots that happen. I'm even last year thinking that that can happen at textile game be the things that I think it could end up making sure that no championships ever go through Los Angeles. The South is not to say I love this dude for his love Jimmy Giannini chosen a ranch I saw good and congratulations on the new videos on Instagram teammates to go back to little evil, literally play review. Now the good one little centerfielder I'm kind of like the vocal understanding that the team sport. You know baseball things were failure you fail often.

It's important to keep your your chin up you know and and keep your head up until I was one of those things centerfielder kind of an end in the morale booster leading off for a little bit but then as we got older kids just got so good and so I moved more towards that what we like to call second leadoff man.

You know, down there and eight nightspot productivity at the bottom of the lineup good to go back home to more villages be around and see that that Little League field that we are really responsible for Little League baseball team was pretty good and it was around the time where there was no sponsorship and radio fund coming in, the radio station traveled with us when we went to state some of that money went back into the ballpark so good night little scoreboard and a good looking Little League field there more so Pennsylvania directors and I love the video and I love passports have the power to transport us to her childhood. Next, like your music has always had sports references sports you know moments from your life is a fan that you then bring to your music so just described for the audience through your unique fandom because you like TJ are one of these guys roots for like a strange collection of teams right well most of my names are 49er father the West Coast. So he basically would like a man.

You know, Bill Lawson, the guy and really made the best baseball player of all time. So the rest is on you and Phil being five it was it was really nice because you know I grew up watching Barry bonds and you know that Williams and those guys and so easy to root for.

Kinda same thing with the 49ers. You kinda told Bill Lawson the guy you're growing up and then and 94. I'm nine years old and Steve Young Jerry Wright Ricky Waters Ken Norton Junior Gary Plummer like these guys like these teams were easy to root for an and then you get tested you know when you're when you're growing up in the team go to the doldrums and it's pretty it's pretty hard when they're in the cellar, but that's kind of what makes the fan right now Jesus is the real San life and I know as a stand of sports and basketball you must love seeing Steph Curry when the finals MVP because that video of him doing your record makes the rounds I saw that two weeks ago and thought you might be good. I mean kind of counted out come into the league you know too small etc. that are you really really impacted the game on much larger scale than I think anybody anticipated and I think you are starting to see that chatter after the championship where people were starting to say let's let's give Stefan's flowers so you know and again at art that's kind of what you want to do. I'm sure athlete is only so much you can do. But as artists we want to come in and kind of impact change the landscape a little bit and you Steph was able to do that in athletic so it is hard not to admire Sheldon line soon and so rich all week long on the rich eyes and show his 49ers fan I know is I had a have set off the weekend and get into this football stuff but talk to me about what it's like to go to a game as Asher Roth like are you sitting in the nosebleeds like I did when I saw Joe Jervis's scored two touchdowns in the last game with the vet in general got booted half-time job or you going with like the flag I pass in your eating ceviche sleeper or I prefer the nosebleeds that really do now is a little bit about. Obviously I tried to you know get the hook up when I can, typically, or baseball game. Kinda night that quote you what these pictures are up to no football game for me are still kinda made-for-TV gone there more for the tailgate if you will be going to the game showing in and be up there in the in the water now 400 700 level but that's kind of my favorite place to lodge the last board.

All you need to hang out with the real one. You got a resume sports and resume what would be on there is the game. Maybe you are most proud soon attended most the game that I'm most proud to have attended in my works resume would honestly probably have been the Ohio State Michigan came out therein in Michigan was just probably a rowdy being in the big house who is just like an experience, you know those things are luxurious, you know, it's just like concrete feeding and everyone packed into a place and so I would probably say Ohio State Michigan rivalry game maybe 2000 18,000 probably the most impactful sports event that I had been to personally just to see that energy and just to be a part of some so iconic and big despite the results of that game but yeah exactly is a little bit different and so that no college football. Specifically, as well. We will need to get too far into it would be NFL, but you know college football and and what that culture is and what that represents the places when you go to go down like old Mr. Mississippi they are. You see what what the SEC mean coming again but Pete had mentioned about being down in Atlanta now was the first time I really got put on the like Georgia football and not being a religion. One Saturday meant and so being able to experience that on on multiple occasions even doing the final four tour back in the daily just like let me get some of the college basketball game to go around and be a part of that as well so yet whenever I can align board with what I'm doing on the road or just with my music in general. It's a win so smart. Do you think of screenwriters who want to go make a movie in Bora Bora's legal right couples retreat rights sashes. I want to go to college sporting events with the hook of religious right a college anthem that will be around for generations to go back and think of that time in your life whether it such a blur, obviously, but are there any shows or any schools that do stand out as having separated themselves from the rest of you must've done so many really tough and again that time your movement so that I will only give a shout out to Marquette you know being out there Milwaukee and Mark yeah and they look some confusing studio. I know AA a good host to what we do what we are up to you.

There's just so many Florida State is a lot of fun when you start getting down there in Florida.

We burned some couches and at Florida University love the little lawless down there in Florida. I'm sure everybody knows a lot right now but yet there's been a lot of fun just kind of you use sports as a way to all the pity you know getting to Detroit and seeing how Detroit their city lined up with with Comerica Park and then you got for field right there to so you know it's a really great way to explore city I mean even a big shot to Chicago I think it's really cool when some of these parks are right there in the city now Philadelphia typically you know I love the bank parking in the lake as well may have their own little section down there and stop the lien.

It's a great way to come Philadelphia start infallibility. She was going on here in and then make your way through a Broad Street if you want to go that route obviously has a giant fan I would. I would say Oracle part of the most beautiful ballpark in the country's why is it so gray out his new album Asher Roth joins the Sheldon line soon and so rich on the rich eyes and show I would be remiss without talking some Philadelphia 76ers with you and what's going on with the state of affairs happen. I know TJ big sixes fan in my life as well is continuing to knock on the door half. Nobody's answering kink inside what's happening. You go man you go really. It's great right because now we got the news that James Harden took no talk with a hometown discount.

He really did expect and he could about 47 million people were thinking mid to high 30s.

He took 32 obviously for us normal people. That's extravagant amount of money but for something that really impact the economies of Houston Law. I cannot exactly offering about the influx of single dollar bills that are now going to be trafficked into the Philadelphia and surrounding areas and how many of the lovely young ladies will be helped educate graduation rates and through education will be helped getting paid for by by James Harden but it's it's great now that little bit more flexibility what's happening Philadelphia with the process Asher Roth to use it over as the process done processes did you get with man.

You have all Windows you know so when now I do like that you know and be like handing them up along the squad and they went out and got exactly what he was talking about but yet so would PJ feel like you know might be a little three years too late. I do not really love franchises are reactive, you know, I kind of always big when it like a year too early then you're too late. I feel like the pictures on a year too late.

Rhythm right now but we'll see what we can do.

Obviously defense is extremely important and and James Harden playing with the dog in the really important for us this year. Obviously I know they didn't get much time to play together. You know, I don't know at the as like any professional basketball player would obviously be way more equipped talking about about how much time it actually takes to the gel games since Alisa yeah exactly. And you know what I got, you know, I'm admittedly not enormous James Harden fan and so what I got to watch out for the past 30 years was just like you know.

Court vision and was creating play now what I think a lot of fixer fans wanted was to alleviate some of the stress on beat and just kind of get those like you know 46 points a game, but you know I think we have to take the reality of where James is in his career and you'll take the good and the bad of a game right now and and hopefully we can out a little more muscle and you know a couple more scoring threat that I saw the movie also.

I love you guys thought that without a fan of a little bit of love that he threw on the 76ers as well and so you know as far as how far we've come. And when the process started and when Michael Carter Williams was winning rookie of the year. You know were much farther along the path now, but I would say you know this window window is closing so to speak. You know it. It opened and now it is starting the quote was hostile to its another in the long line of inept Philadelphia front-office mistakes. We had blue cruise was right there is and how to go to the Celtics like yeah that I love that part of the writing going to, you know, I know Jason Tatum, kind of not having a strong playoff better but I'll tell you what it would take them and indeed, I would feel pretty good student baseline is a strong Marquette shout out to Michael Carter Williams in the year now and some good TJ Jefferson college memories. On incident Asher appreciate you taking some time and where you off for your travels taking you next I feel like you're always in like Denmark or Sweden, and some were mad at you like that what you actually know Detroit the Midwest for a little bit will be in Detroit will be in Chicago in a couple shows out there in October that actually exclude that I have an announcement yet and you know what right here and fill it up.

You have some power for lethal anybody interested in a project@sunflowerphilly.org. It should state community Park that we started. Also a music venue for ardent attainability projects as well nonprofit that we've been working on day-to-day for the last three years it's been tricky because you know for me and TJ note by the way, for some reason I thought you're asking about Tony Jefferson. The 49er safety process is that this is the problem with call-in interview that can't be PJ give him a hug TJ from the comedy and dark side of things, not the athletic side but CJ from the athletics and fight but yet will be running around the most part my heart right now is it in Philadelphia and your artist development and really making sure that artists were coming into the world.

In this capacity right now on the Internet. Around 16, 17, 18 years old getting a break. What might be is just making sure they're kind of prepared and and and have some warning signs ahead of a lookout for that and check out for that. So that's very important to me. And Peter knows very well how long and crazy again starting in Atlanta now back at home in the path of self-discovery. Asher Roth always working on new cool stuff.

Thanks so much to do and enjoy this rinse, repeat.

My boys have fun. Thanks to Ross during the show.

Hello I love broccoli just lighting up on the Marquette shout at all is not the MCW shout out the kinder that that guy also did not hear him correctly.

He said Jason Tatum struggled in the playoffs.

If 26 76 and third not enough software is not enough and then I want to struggle every day. Not enough to get that superstar status, not yet, not on the team all NBA. We got we got this list of the top 10 highest-paid athletes in North America. Some of the names might surprise you and there's something you can take away from this list. If you're thinking about what your team should do. Whether it's football the MBA RA major league baseball go out there and build a championship roster will take a look at the top 10 highest-paid players in North American sports right now get a little insight.

Plus we got Adnan first joined the show Daniel roadway.

We got TJ's list of greatest NBA players for every team of all time and do that. Just like you do with football. You will also brought when we got some your cooking on as well is something they will rarely action: happy 7-Eleven everybody believe it took almost an hour to talk about that but happy 711 folks 20 days every day is not a day write a celebrated taco day waffle day 711 estimate since this makes it every day and once every year every day seven Ellen at 707 11 twice on 7-Eleven you know that it's reasonable for please at 711 people I come on then. Then you find yourself leaving 7-Eleven drinking slippery so jokes on you on the rich.

I don't write that. Welcome back to the show been lines in for rich all week long on the rich eyes and show all week I've been looking forward to for months. You guys put up the bat signal. I think right around the Super Bowl thanks. I know Rich like to take a week off after this eroticized time trying to invite myself back on the thing which is to get down the road.

I think I went to Delta.com then I bought the fights you are so excited this way Bennett's been cultivating a dance list since mid-March surprises this week, and some different closing you been thinking about yes absolutely have to pay up what you doing in 4 1/2 months between nine and 12 on the last one talk about the highest and players North American team sports.

I saw this on board room which Kleinman and Kevin Durant's media company that is a really good follow on Instagram just got a set target Instagram file something a little like Robin Leach for some of the homes in the real estate since mansion in Hong Kong sold $411 million just looking to do his business first and that's fine. At that rate fixed six pools really literally looks like a hotel house. Yeah, that's one guys out know it's not that the resort be the concierge in the house.

I digress they put up a list of the top 10 highest-paid athletes in American team sports and I am all for athletes getting paid. I think the most part despite the high salaries are often over there often underpaid and overexposed, and their milling people want a million things from them so go out there and get your money, but I think there's something that when you look at this list of 10 and you're looking at your own teams and how they choose to invest in athletes, you might start to see a correlation between winning and spending bread and tenants the Browns the Sean Watson that's disgraceful, I will. We can get into the Sean Watson stuff later, but this is a joyful show and I want to prior try to bring some light into the universe this week.

That is just dark intoxicant negative energy, number 10, the Browns are not going to win anything from that deal number nine is the next Kevin Durant with anyone. It was many playoff games than it did last year you play for one of the years and the second second round. He played great if you had a smaller foot. Maybe it's all conference finals but they didn't and they haven't won anything and now there's franchises in the toilet and they have no idea what's can happen the next five years. They have swept about who I forget who they got left by the really main branch of the Boston Celtics area go if if you are still a single man he around Boston when you tell people he related pain preaching to try like hell in my MP Jimmy Butler and and I like the deal for Miami Miami is one NBA franchise that can cut huge checks to players that doesn't work out, and they're okay Tyler Johnson here's $50 million and just doesn't matter. Robinson is 120. It just doesn't matter why Miami can do this but Jimmy Butler deserves every penny and that that is indeed on this list that I would sign off on MB number seven. We loved you well.

Indeed we do availability is a skill set. I can't count on him to be available.

I can't pay him $50 million a year to maybe show up and play. Hopefully they are not winning anything with the process. I'm sorry there TJ about Bradley Buick, 50 million were the wizards winning what I think of often when I think Brockman when people say what are you doing here, people become your signature phrase a lot of love thing to proclaim it. It was his phrase the Brockman adapter probably right.

50 million. I will probably be a great player Brockman and walked into the Washington wizards front office meeting and simply said doing here why are you doing this. It was usually back in the plan together. Number five Aaron Rodgers like we come on the show. I every summer now we talk about the state of the Packers and Erin and the the most hyped up one time winning quarterback in the history the NFL without cloud joining. But yes, there's more hype on Erin's greatness and there is on Joe's Joe's looked out for that one Super Bowl in a horizontal great career chosen the whole name on one went right bro. Joe what Joel Namath 12.69. This is 2022 69 so he is only been to one Russell Wilson is always been to two parts of curry, obviously worth it. Yes, change the game except I coaching basketball camp last week in the Hamptons. The kids want something I think the three point shooting from €12 from 30 feet is the skeptics we discussed absolutely against hotcakes Devereux in the game room became that's what buddy Steph Curry. Slippery has a has a skill set that you bless my God game. I got played in the park last week and some guidance some Steph Curry shot any any missed it and I put them aside as a listen if you make that shot with any consistency making like a mid-level exemption at least 76 in Riverside claim four on four half-court with me. The bonding vouchers and gets 54 million listen all my friends love this man. They think he's the greatest thing coming out of Serbia since beige food. I am not joking sky doing anything like this year's elimination game for off pushing somebody in the playoffs two years of data playoff pushing right exactly each item like murder of Morris twin is which I think he has a ceiling for for his greatness. I don't think he can elevate his team to get to the next level in the same family true for the two guys in the top of this list for the board room.

Highest-paid players North American seas were shot out to Jess Holtz over at CAA. One of the best agents in the game but I think this Phoenix Suns are going in the wrong direction. I think Arlington it sounds is not the best player on his own team is making makes no sense book of the thunder going in the wrong direction, I think. So they went to the NBA finals.

They went to the second round and now change anything in there, just a different direction and you think something weird happened with that team in the playoffs this year. I heard some things yeah I know you think that's what it really was something weird happened that you don't just win 60 when they went 63 games level when your point guard is 38 and a good attributes his greatness to beyond needs. I think he is not a sustainable business model. Also, remember the point guard had two bad games guys remember the game parable, look at this like 16 for 16 or whatever perfect basket and in the next two or three games are awful, but don't you think that way we should give Chris Paul the benefit of the doubt there that there is something weird that happens Sunday conference finals next year or not they have Kevin Durant vested right now in July.

There different team.

If you have Kevin Durant a different conversation revisionist history call takes my CI all been said originally I got Kevin Durant and Noah brought Earl Monroe took limitless pill and he's playing for them in different conversation.

The sons are still very good about their still meeting with all this is that if you look at this list the guys a lot of noise and a lot of greatness.

Amazing players nylon championship rings and I don't know if there's a direct correlation you want your team to be investing in winning. You want your team spending money on the best players in the sport but I think there's some like five championships on this list have you not attend guys who should be making making all this money I would expect more than four more steps in one's errands and so the teams with the highest paid players and teams that try to construct their team with the biggest stars and some cement drakes just doesn't work out in today's sports landscape Angels we have, we talk about that loss again yesterday the Orioles like Orioles hottest team in Beijing firing his players since Mickey Mantle and the greatest two-way players only to a person.

Babe Ruth here in the toilet is off 14 games in a row is something deeper now and trying to figure it out this week.

You know I am been lines on Instagram, Twitter, all that fun stuff.

I really like the community you guys have built here. I genuinely mean that for the majority my career. I grew up in the entertainment business around sports I worked in sports media now 25 years. Most interaction is pretty toxic and terrible really nasty and mean and say hurtful things so I appreciate having gone to know some of the folks who listen to the show watch on Peacock see the clips that TJ puts up on YouTube very positive tribe here so looking forward to engaging with them. All we can hope is what does it take to make a championship team. What's the sauce with the je ne sais quoi that the GM's and team presidents are chasing and it's not just check cutting.

It's not just saying who's the best player.

I want the best pieces and then going out there and rolling out a squad. Tom Brady and Jan the best she can see bones crypto vitamins loves solid colored clothing solid clerk who loves solid colored clothing Morneau, Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg guys love very there one and the same is wrong.

Pastel solid color shirt person is a Boston thing is all shared the love of the brazen solid colored sewing and now you know it's not an awesome thing is a Florida guy. What products can't Mark Wahlberg so I will get into that later this admin work can be coming up in about 20 minutes talks baseball, talks, movies, his love of Roger Fetter's hatred of Tom Cruise will catch up with at hand, which I shall come back Tom Cruise Jason Cruz case Top Gun his eyes against all the conversation around Top Gun getting Oscar-nominated pastors that deserve it that it basically should win best picture Tom Cruise is in arguably the greatest movie star of all time. They say what's on cruise Austrians during right now, so the member moving night and day Cameron Diaz time broke on the cruise. I was working the E channel and they had as to the press for the film and chemistry amazing chemistry.

That's why the film really became a classic, and the junket was awesome. We went to Austria and to severely shot the film and we did all the stunts with Tom Sykes Stuntz guy and always got us on the rooftop doing all the stones times cheering for everybody is a guy from Kansas City like calling and stripped it out manually on this how we did the interviews in Spain, Cameron Diaz drove a BMW where you rode shotgun chasing Tom Cruise on a motorcycle through the streets of Spain and you got into a town square in front of 2000 people in interview he was so calm cruise right and I was a Sykes so just in the and like excited to be in the coverings. This event, I found myself in his hotel room at a hotel bathroom in Austria in the lobby and Tom cruises in there and I was like I want to quit. What I do and come work for you.

Why did I say that I don't know I was stopping on TV and come work for you and Jonah Hill and I will show me a check for $30,000 for you, and I was and he was awesome.

You love movies like I love movies like I was excited and I left. I genuinely thought like okay this is my life sliding doors moment, and this is how it happens on Mike's back upstairs and watch waiting my whole life to try to get on team works when talking about sucked me in the greatest movie star in the history of cinema with what you mean, that's broad statement know he's the only one known artistic credibility. He's gone there.

What is needed to as an actor. He's got the big box office obviously on the highest level.

He's one of the great stuntman like Jackie Chan is the greatest second line can't lie more so for the real story behind some of wrestling's biggest moments something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson to all opponents.
