His last dance famous meme making moment on an iPad course.

We talked about his son not playing in game one. He said he seemed mystified by that same address and you don't plan is not the coach drinks that what he said.

Obviously there is some concern in warrior nation based on a shocking comeback of the wind by the Celtics in Golden State last night in San Francisco off 40 point fourth quarter and avalanche in a blizzard breeze that was so shocking.

It's led to the first ever instance in the dam. Your eight hist eight year history of this program, of the Chris Brockman spending a commercial break between hours wanted to searching for an hour for Jersey online that's not I thought you know we never say that would be possible. Chris, Brian, her conference confirm the times we think he's not listening to us and then we'll come back from a break until just thereafter. What we just talk about finding out I'm a professional listener and broadcaster, and I focus on things and I think about what to say, to say at what we can do for the show Mike Singletary; our threes about calling right now I've got nothing's gone.

There's lots of factors. DJ can handle. I can handle as vectors.

Obviously, thank you thank you to appreciate that you will done J Felling and try to find TJ just sent me one because I was looking but I'm trying to find the ones aware now with the finals patch.

Okay, that hat for Sam Jones okay and the updated concert right at the way to after hideouts is now referred Jersey shopping for words. I never said about Chris Brockman 1226 in game one of the NBA finals and him weight his entire career to get to that moment in making the most that moment pretty cool man, it's great to see our post game yesterday to NBA.net and BTV there quite joined the crew a shack was there with Grant hello guys about Weiner's ramp's lecture and why does do you know who the Beatles are all that is like gift and he was like well my mom got it for me and I was like why she gave this explanation is there like okay okay okay only. It is 84204 Rich number.Akbar by Shelby Miller of American ninja warrior fame also NFL network fantasy life back in the day right he's getting joining us here on this program and in studio 20 minutes time and want show Gomez of the Utah Jazz. But now the star the real and if you will, of the new basketball movie that samplers put together with Lebron James and Everett Carter Carter on Netflix called hustle. He is the star of this movie will be here in studio our number 390s he was on the Celtics when they sucked this writer put it, so he should have some insight as to what was going on there and what you know him.

He was trying to lay down in the tracks that eventually got put together this train still run so that's in our number three later on this hour TJ's big ass Grab Bag is top-five. Your top five sports beefs peaks man what's brief I mean outside of the Tommy Pham John Peterson Road. That's part of your top-five means that we, it's probably because it's got available so it is included.

We must be on it has to do is inspirational. I will give it will do something it's it's number five is a conversation starter to Prescott about it will actually begin the request. In all honesty the press conference was scheduled in New York because he's going to Philadelphia next were by the way, the Phillies just fire their manager Joe Girardi just in time for the favorite son to come back and Mike Trout but the Angels are having their there there in a tailspin right now, but Trout was due to be meeting with the media lot of Philadelphia me apparently came up to chat with him about that and after that got scheduled Tommy Pham let it loose that he was the commissioner of the slate most questions.

If you were on that subject. At any rate joining us on the Mercedes-Benz vans phone line right now is a full football all about this event for football to hold on Father's Day weekend with you last week and now fellow 1990 members on the phone line right now.

His Chicago Bears were playing fantastic I love. It's where we found you.

Where are you today Mike was going on okay got ago I got in our perspective, all good.

Okay, how far can you walk down the street in Chicago before being recognized like blocks. Can you make it usually okay to be on what I do know people trying to check into hotel. When I get into whatever you told someone like the forward not back baby clipper, gold standing outside waiting for your little and upright, great Bible Lala Singletary did hurt some of that's comes out of the blue, I mean that that's that's that's where Sandberg right. I mean I get Steinberg in there. Jordan Jordan and then you might have the full set right there like Jeremy Jordan Mike Singletary too much of what I okay got to get that done. We had to get something like that close to done and so what what you asked most about about your football days like when when somebody encounters you Mike Singletary you know I'm asking number one talk to talk to me about you know how I would being and you'll you know being a part of so and they'll laugh about McMahon Hampton so always pretty cool. Talk about and you know is talking about kind of you know where the players now what so normally you know how my health is how you help Mike so don't normally request that you want your favorite Walter Craig story when first met him, Mike Singletary, what about him sucking on my home in Hawaii and walked and so I realize I am going to be so make a great impression on Mormon to go outside and I quit my job on and I'm thinking, and so I put it on anyway time I can ask a lot of questions like working out running around workout and no burning in a place that thinking going on and I'm kinda out there is not burning guys come out and there, everybody, look at me, smiling whatever and I'm thinking so after a while I couldn't take all and so I run inside and you know the trainers lapping at meeting equipment guy and like my job.

When we meet your first time here so I can't tell you I walked back outside and I'm looking around trying to walk up no and you know you lapping another guy. The lap I know you did it never said he never said he did so.

The joke was on me that you like so that's that's not sweetness at all. I mean so, so you suspect Walter Payton hot sauce your jockstrap prior to your first Pro bowl practice is that what you're saying. I owe my goodness gracious so outside outside of that when when did you know I guess that Walter Payton was the guy that knew you knew him to be on the field.

Mike got one of those stories long time II don't like running back. I made my mind up you know I don't want to touch the ball touches the ball. I don't like sand so Walter would appreciate again and walked I'm looking at him like a Clydesdale horse legs clicking up in the air moves along for an amazing to watch him run and take long to realize and I know people told me about all you all mad but I get there. You didn't take long to see that all rational when you were playing zero like backs was the one that was most difficult for you, one that you like the least to play against Mike's vinyl like Jan like, but one that you think about it okay that would have to be outside Walter got okay, got married to Christian Marcus Allen Solomon, one of the greatest markets, not out of the block. The most complete debt that I think I've been around all you brought great guys market with an exceptional block. But you know those guys when I think about running back that I play to get there, but they come from the mind's callsign would not want my mind I agree your talk about thousand thousand euros or talk about God is a match of nightmare and I can run sorry run past you and also run past you, because he sees on we were out of sight like that.

That's Roger Craig one 1 million% in the last two things that we were not so, that is also an see time here as we get to the father festival that's coming up in a couple weeks Canton Ohio.

What do you think of the current state of the Chicago Bears. You know, I think the matter been getting all that they cannot got cockle little older now you know if you ever lived up to that BP can play up to the level that they have been going up to the level that should be all.my mind, middle linebacker. I think about standing jump all talk with me that I think you know, I know the gap patchwork you anyway. The guy coming off a couple of those guys guys I really think linebacker leadership and demand that everybody is on deck ready to go.

I think you can help you last year when Roger scored against the Bears. He told the fans I own you must your mom know I did. What would happen if you were on the field and the quarterback of the Packers done that scored and screamed at the soldier Field fans I own you know, I know. I think if someone been shocked.

I thought something long time again that I looked at old Marshall and asked him not going to last now.

There were times that I have.

I kid you not. You don't don't hit him like that all all family know honestly I was on my cell just consider humanity would tell your teammates not to abuse the opposing well I guess Rogers feels he does have the numbers to back it up.

It has been a Packers heavy run here quite a bit against the Bears these days. Mike you think about hopefully they can do something about it.

I'm always filled and was the linebacker Mike Singletary that when you flip on the TV or watch a game that you really are impressed by in this day yes or in the NFL today or defender that you would turn on and say front seven guile you give me the whole front seven. Somebody that you turn on say that guy you know I got very honest with you right now and I want I don't look at it much the last linebacker that I would break with the last linebacker. That way that I would enjoy seeing play a guy like that know that I looked at all. She could take a team to another level, Donald is okay. I thought you linebacker sure about when you talk about line while Aaron Donald jumped out right away had the opportunity to coach in LA one year and 31 lot guy and you're on the show I spoke about the same class to guys so you guys any part of this father festival that's in Canton Ohio for Father's Day weekend on the floor on my Monday the 19th, Father's Day weekend, probably Ohio and this will be fun for everybody, even mom mom will continue on the appeal.

When did you first get reached out to for this case thousand 13 to because of this is just completed my 10th season on American ninja warrior and right, and I was doing fantasy football network before the slap before the judge. I can slap, can we talk about, but he reached out and said there's no dishing in that audition turned into the next cohost of American ninja warrior and that was life-changing for me. Now this is technically not technically it is the longest job I've ever had. I've never had a job 14 years.

You know you can use Rolex or don't give you like a statue or some here are some like that but for 10 years, not the NFL Rolex. Hopefully when you retire, though, that all the gold watch of the all tenures as to this little premature.

I mean, 10 years is coming. This is going to be this for my 20th with NFL network. Okay so and that is longer than my marriage by one of my marriage is a couple of months longer than my house. Let me think I got my actually there were some empty seats at my wedding dude from the ESPN executives who did not show because I was departing week before that actually happened. All I can remember their names right now. Al Jaffe friend don't know how it sounds. A guy gave me my start start years ago is good easy to go that far back. I Wendy went deep, to say the least, one that is life-changing stuff, you know, but I give credit to the ninjas to come out there every single everything a year and compete make interesting every year in this year like we did last year we got the teenagers who really disrupted this whole ninja universally me well because there there.

They seem indestructible to get tired and we push our veterans.

You know if you think back to the NBA when they started allowing teenagers coming and how disrupted that, was short of the lot. Hated by the vets and then there was this embracing and I think now the vets embraced these teenagers who really pushed him to step up their game because they don't get tired like we get tired right and I think we because ninja age goes now from 15 to 73, 74 years old.

So as you know, as you get older you must call you old rich because you get older it gets a little challenge in these ninjas just go and they been doing this little emote some of them have been doing this more than half their life. So just think about that they put an enormous amount of time to ninja and crushing the course. Usually, now that it's in your 14 people are well known, well about what's asked of them and also it's aspirational they want to train for like it's the Olympics you know like they want to train forward and make that make it their life's work to get on and try when in front of the whole crazy money and last year we had you know a teenager when he got the furthest and he came. Let's say hundred thousand dollars.

Think about that. He never has to ask his parents for lunch money fixing 60 years old on the phone like crazy and then at that young age are ready start and invest into go in color. Yes, so Trenton $100,000 and some a lot bigger role or lot less. Yeah right out of there with you Donna about W.

Miller, the host along with Matt Eiseman and the recall is cohosting American ninja warrior season, we want to talk about.

Well, let's talk about the slap. This one is been really quite interesting and wears you know and I know couple days ago.

You try to come up with the same age as Tommy Pham, well I have one just onomatopoeia okay wham bam Pham is close we came up with Wham Bam thank you Pham.

These all onomatopoeia okay you obviously for the for the actual sound that a slap would make Batman right yet you know you guys mentioned something. Pham goes the dynamite. I will ask for. I don't like green eggs and Pham basketball league jock Pham's volume 1. I like that one family. I you know there is one thing that could really disrupted in entire fantasy league and its biggest crime of them all colluding or making backdoor trades and trading away if you like.

Bad move. That's a really bad move and I've been a part of some legs that that that's happened and there's no way to really prove it. You mean because you're not privy to the text messaging on phone calls behind so that's one of those ones, but I just don't in all seriousness, I don't I don't control how what was involved in there need to be an investigation. I grant to be an investigation. I don't know what would cause a person to strike a person like that you know we don't promote violence or and did he lose money did you know did he really lose badly was the gift for Jeff for whatever meme was it really that bad. It can happen in Canada been in apparently it's it's extended started within an IR designation for Jeff Wilson, 49ers.

He was out and so jock was able to put them on IR but Tommy Pham says that what they were individual rules of the league that apparently he thought it was in a legal roster and maneuver by Peterson and he starts arguing Mike Trout was the was the commissioner who didn't do anything just sat on his hands did nothing and it caused some sort of rumblings that blew out. When Peterson sent Pham the meaning in a text exchange amongst fantasy players which you know is when the vicious sharp elbow. That's the only you're only talking trash in your in your community like for your fantasy community and equip the league and even do that. I like how you can remedy that. You just gotta get someone to take take the team if you're Mike Trout. I mean we go to Brendon we got. How long was he sitting on this five month lease week five that would be October right. November December January February March April May months like that right there is the highest level of taste.

If you like to be able to hold onto that type of bitterness for seven-month time when I see you on Sunday.

The Reds and he's like when we put jock on now when we played a festivities. Not a bad fantasy to which we invite ambidexterity. Should we invite Tommy out to try American. Enjoy. That's a great way steam is change a lot of athletes lives like I could see it now right. You could also do as you could put Chuck Peterson's face on the button once you feel one question for you.

What you make of Don the sports West. I will ask a question like this.

What you think about my makeup done this, but I haven't seen the spreadsheet also is there is Brendon the sports PowerPoint that we can get. I don't know but I was surprised to see how McDonald's signed with Kanye anything you know Aaron Donald for his accomplishments.

He is in his career.

Does this mean that he's already thinking about transitioning as far as life after football what you want to be musicians just were just assuming the Kanye's you know given entrée into the music world that maybe my not interested I know that Aaron Donald can lift bars convincing them in the weight was strong but I don't know if he can drop any bars. I don't know yet that pushing I honestly don't know the move.

I don't even get the move for Kanye West get into the space and you know he's got so much on his plate already. You know that's true. There's a whole Lotta love is something missing as well. I don't know what what what to make of Kanye. I don't know what all I know is that what how I mean. JC is gotten into this world right the first was master. If I'm not mistaken masterpiece assignment was the ungrateful Ricky thought a lot of money, a lot of money, so man's incentive-based time salmon my contract.

I don't know is I don't know if you you know sometimes steam stay away from kids with certain school because a kid came out was a Boston right that's not fair. I want to I don't want to do dispersions just based on anything in the history of master P now Jay-Z I think is been very successful.

Yet he's been, but I wonder if it JC that's running it or does he have an entire team.

If you look at Kanye West coming from and again I don't know the report I got to do some more research but it looks like Antonio Brown might be the president. Allegedly, I mean can you Google that it can can we carry research that Antonio Brown in a position of management's understanding that come up in the automated search man if he's in management. I would be the first employee to just in the middle of the meeting take my shirt off and stroll out like set see how he likes it and this meeting let's go on Facebook love competitors to live. Antonio Sciacca was that I could be something as well. Another foot umbrella right front and first surge named person I believe so that challenged his account barriers got a good head and shoulders will feel that I don't. Maybe I'll die once again acting that could be think something in our long got into interacting Antonio Brown is the VP of Dundas for all residents of long as the vice president of Donna sports thoughts as his VP, VP okay veep of any veep new episode of EI. I am down for a new veep series I would generally cannot cannot cannot can I sneak into the first Antonio Brown. Let's assume can we do that that that would be amazing.

Can we do that for the rights that I bet you that be great way for a minute. That's a good business like that might be the first Sumer you tell somebody to mute on your mere number. Please put yourself on the all right.

So, season 14 which you should, we shot this year in San Antonio, Los Angeles, and were back where you know what we do our grand finale in Las Vegas say yeah when when when when American ninja warriors in Vegas. It's just it just looks like it lights up like this. It lights up the strip with a big slideshow fantastic. You should probably have like Cirque du Soleil people go through it and see if they could beat the ninja warrior. I just now having a great competition just came from the Michael Jackson show and those athletes really could be ninja steadily could be ninja that is actually what we should do next time you speak and run up the flagpole's you have a competition amongst the Vegas performers to see who can go against one-on-one like that that the top five ninjas against the top five like Vegas performers that's that's a challenge. I like to Cirque du Soleil versus American enjoyed and I will take 10%. Just contact Kanye. He's my age until he's okay now officially drink on the no security company American. She's got a lot of body strength top five ninja warrior celebrities, athletes will be your top five, greater one, number five Aaron Donald Aaron Donald would not get past the sinking statue having the does so with something to give me the highway height, weight that I need to focus on the planet Scott 55 so Tom cruises in and that Top Gun 55 all the way up to about 511 so would be the deal. Ninja height and then weight about 100 pounds to about hundred and 6570 pound notes on record as a good one.

I retire and help you kill 100% to reach you. Okay, we need another sport summary might be little tall but you have to veil he's gotta keep his shirt on and that's a problem is in perfect drops of water that buzzer. Michael on the number three spots in my Houston Astros 583 golfer like us somebody. Oh yeah finish off away is that 58 range is the shamble is is coming to a little too big to bulked up. You know, okay I like I like I like that okay no word so my solution is 510 511 be okay.

I got I've got one love to see you this would be Serena Williams on like the salmon letter.

You know the salmon letter we go pop pop pop pop like you have some back muscles for that backhand is pretty good. I know Akbar condo market was five are too big to pick the six I was in the Mayfield is under 6 feet wide right is in the range that is I have the size of government is under six, about jewels are talking, I like that any any slot receiver for the patriots.

Welker Adelman. I've always told a New England ninja warrior Maglio sold as many ideas on the credit risk consulting now because Mario's consulting. That's right. That's represents Mr. Hallett on the sport, I'm out now about American majority season 14 premieres Monday, June 6 at eight Eastern on NBC October Bob job you know your treasure country, and any time any time were back with more here on the rich doesn't show any moment 844204. Originally okay to take these phone calls right in the top of the next hour split up the first segment.

What's more likely, and TJ's big ass Grab Bag. Now that'll be later on back out.

I since we just covered the spam Peterson smack down considerably without bar that's makes two guests in a row that we've had the right one for financial entanglements comes out is forget about hustle.

Forget about the NBA finals basketball. Let's talk about this jock fans volume 1 with incomes. I would like limited time. I slaps him a tweet today from John Sina get this one right. But he said if you hold on to something heavy will become a retreat at say if you only tweeted that before jock Tommy great terms arise and not hang on for most of our sense of authorized her. So how are you what's up there's a year earlier to get what they want Chris okay will lag my corporate what the project player in the fourth quarter like you didn't play the game and it showed up looked like running up and down the court making everything go shot or he's been to talk about well rested and and such leg and winning his whole life is best for last night and that's the neat part about last night regardless of how you feel about the Celtics agreement. There are now more for haters out there. I don't know but waiting his whole career for that and then he he may have all the shots he needed to stop until you made the most of this moment that he's been waiting for for a long time you took to dreamt about this and thought about it and visualized it positively. Everyone's positive visualization and positive visualization to the mix experience 120 season positively visualizing this moment one point my guilt for threes are being qualified for design that that's too much at six threes is too much that even even pause in his positive visualization at the notion of making six reasons, going 26 points in front of me warriors for informing good Lord gives us in the Kelly Clarkson before the game and the cultures appreciate a lifetime for it like this you know it's like happy birthday.

How you made all the shots and then literally today is 3636 six threes happy birthday Michael I'm insulting. It's actually my birthday. That's how Hartford yesterday. Allen 80 to 1 finals and be pleasing now.

I have a lot since only a year and the rich. So it's up to you my lifeline that were not a part of what's up Jimmy how are you all doing well right on the thing with me and proximate the open play, straightening the white balance pan the port because of your DNA are you wearing new balance white balance potentially are you okay size that it was what's more insulting me asking three new balance you talk about how white your legs.

I knew about and I'm sorry… I mean the Logan national being told that a girl way to go and then talk yesterday about connection in the tree and the obvious which one from pop cursing to be more ball movement and screams and more warriors are terrific defensive team and and they were playing terrific team defense, I mean Tatum was having his office night was making shots, but not going off jammin Brown was turning the ball over, probably much to your distant dismay, Chris. I mean, there we were seeing that but the Celtics still took the lead at halftime despite taking their best curry shot to the chops in the fourth quarter report 40 on on the war is that some characteristic films like you know under the radar. People don't notice when you know you see the and no one even mentioned one and have the most career coaching records.

We got that in March maybe the government might go pop and and I know you proud of her and you don't and he's sitting with a bottle of wine. Find time to call Jimmy greatly appreciated how Hartford +750 now for finals and so he's the favorite but you can still get good numbers. The Tatum's or favorite, followed by Curry and Brown Jordan pool an off night.

But that you know what I mean, it's a big stage a big moment and I'm sure the Celtics are like okay just as long. Tatum, light brown, smart long I make it really tough on CL Curry only scored 13 point yesterday similar. Some of those Curry shots the clay shots were like, you know, they had like a split second in the window to put it up and in and on occasion they did fourth quarter. Not a morning none of crazy things were happening like didn't occur get a flat tire on the way to the basket. I lost did you see that the places that he's wearing on his ankles. Did you see that where those forever. I know, but I never seen a UL 5 million tray monitoring the threats to score that dream on it if you will threes get a few open threes want show Aaron Gomez formally of the Celtics.

Just this year. Now the Utah Jazz and the star of the movie hustle in studio our number three don't go anywhere for the real story behind some of wrestling's biggest moments something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard and Conrad Thompson to all, opponents much I miss having a conversation wears on a mouse and Andre was number one is not even going back before you know Holcombe was a baby face Holt and Andres were able to go in headline that New Orleans Superdome at Shea Stadium in Japan wherever they went. That was an attraction something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard listen wherever you get your podcasts
