 Run it up, do run it back. Run it up, do run it back. Run it up, do run it back. Run it up. Woo! Radio row. Andy on TV. Andy's on TV. Andy on TV. Andy on TV. That's happening. This is Run It Back. Hi! Michelle Beattle, Chandler Parsons, Lou Williams on the end. We got Shom Sharaniya who is just crunching numbers on the phone. I wonder how many times he's charged his phone in the last three days. There he is! It's a big day, Shoms. How are you feeling, buddy? Big next 24 hours. This is your Super Bowl today. Hopefully you guys are behaving yourselves. Well, one of us is, and I'm glad you asked that, Shoms, we'll be right back with you in a second. Wait, wait, wait. The math is off. Hold on. Hold on. Who's not behaving? Look at you today. What did you do last night? Let me tell you something. On the way here, I said the first two nights, we're just going to lay low. On the way here? Uh-huh. The Oilers game, first time a hockey game. That was awesome. Yep, yep. That was a great time. Although they lost. They knew they were going to lose. And then I played by Jack to the wee hours of the night. And what are the wee hours of the night? I mean... Let me tell you something, Shoms. I'm not going to say numbers, but this cat, Saquon Barkley. You gave him a Saquon? Dude. Nice. We need to show him this clip because he's going to die. He is the biggest... He's a monster. Wait, what's the game? He was Blackjack. It's all Blackjack. And he was... And I'm a big gambler. We know. He was making me uncomfortable. Because of individual bets or how long it was? I would win my bet and it was so small compared to his that I couldn't even celebrate my wins because he was losing like 10x of what I'm betting. He's hilarious and he is... I love this. He's a complete monster. Did you learn anything? Is he good at it? Like what? He's not good at it. No, he's good. He taught me a game, Baccarat. Oh, yeah, yeah. Which I learned that. Still unclear how to play. Yeah, I'm not 100% sure on that one. I'm still not either. I know you won a nine. Did you get any sleep? Couple hours. Couple hours sleep. What are you? Am I getting interrogated right now? I feel like your mom right now. Okay. Well, that's not acceptable. Chandler. Lou, did you get in any trouble at all? Yeah. Why are you quiet? Yeah, why are you quiet? I did the most responsible thing I've ever done in the history of me coming to Las Vegas, Nevada. Oh, no. I was asleep by 12.30 last night. No. Oh. Why? I had to listen. I did LA last week. Grammy Week in LA. Yeah. I'm in the music industry, so I was shaking a lot of hands, kissing a lot of babies, eating a lot of people. And I think my body told me enough is enough we need sleep. And last night was my opportunity to do that. That is not a good story. Maybe this great evening will be a lot different. But tonight I'm on. But last night, I slept. What about you? I saw you went to dinner last night. I went to a dinner that started at 6.30, and I was in bed by 10. Oh. Early bird special? Yeah. I even had two glasses of wine. Look at me. How did the slots treat you? Tonight I go back out into the streets of the slots. That's how I feel. This is our Friday. Yeah. Well, kind of. You know. So? I have nine jobs out here, you guys. I'm exhausted. Well, that's why you make all the money. Do not make. That's what really sucks about it. Sean, I wish you were here. I wonder if Shoms would be with Chandler, with me, or with Lou. Like, who would he be with? You know, if I'm a bed man, Shoms is probably going to hang with me. Yeah, you think so. Like a little bit of mix of love. Yeah. If I'm a bed man, Shoms is going to hang with me. Far, far away from me, Shoms. I love it. So, all right, Sean. We're going to get to some action. You guys are just waiting for me to get there so we can all hang out. But what's in the cups? I'm curious. What's in the cups? Why isn't Chandler just wearing the chain proudly that he's got on his neck? Like, what's going on right now? Thank you, Shoms. What are you doing? Listen, Super Bowl 58, we're enjoying ourselves. I'll be honest, and I'll be candid. I got tequila in my cup. Oh, God! Yeah. I can't lie to you, Shoms. I also have tequila in my cup. You guys need to say it. I'll be candid. Because of the water. Because of the apple juice. The orange juice. Listen, you want to scoop or not, Shoms? Do you want to scoop or not? It's part of their Super Bowl 58 experience. It's not going down very smoothly either. I'm just fighting fire with fire over here. And by the way, full disclosure, Shoms, Chandler got peer pressure to drink again after Lou threw some on. It was just ridiculous to watch. Because I'm the one, well, the second person up here that actually got sleep last night. So I got a little leeway to do what I want to do a little bit. That's a good one. You bullied me into this first drink. I did. I called him a very unpleasant name. And like that, we were having some fun. And there it is, kids. That's how peer pressure works. Shoms, I can't believe we're finally at the trade deadline part of the year. It feels like it took forever. And yet, I'm waiting for some news, Shoms. What's going on? So, Michelle, we're still waiting on the major trades. Two minor deals happen today. One is Xavier Tillman from Memphis. He's going to Boston. He's a backup big man. It's really insurance for Christos Porzingis and Al Horford. Come play off time, second half of the season. But they traded two seconds to Memphis for Xavier Tillman. It gives them some size in the front court. Another minor move. The Pistons acquired Simone Fintechio from the Jazz for Kevin Knox. This is a deal where Detroit gets a shooter, a wing shooter, someone that's shooting 39% from three. Both these deals are minor. We're still waiting. Several major names still out there. Dejante Murray, Kyle Kuzma, Andrew Wiggins, DeMarco Rosen. We've talked about Spencer Dinway, Doreen Finney-Smith, Royce O'Neill in Brooklyn, and Buddy Heald as well in Indiana. So I think those are the major names. The major dominoes still to fall. There's still other players, Boyan Bugdanovich, Monte Morris in Detroit. You look at Miles Bridges, P.J. Washington in Charlotte, along with Gordon Hayward, and Washington overall. What do they do with Kyle Kuzma? There's Tyce Jones there as well. DeLon Wright. So a lot of the major names still out there. We'll see what happens the rest of today. And the trade deadline is about 23, 22 hours away. That is a lot of names for not a lot of hours left. Well, like Shum just said, it's going to be a domino effect. Once one of those major pieces go off to the board, everything is going to start falling into place. Teams are going to start filling in what's needed and what's happened. The last time I got traded, it was with 15 minutes left. Okay. Well, that's just drama, isn't it? Yeah, it's a free agency, same thing. Once one thing happens, they're all going to keep happening. And by the way, I love this trade for Boston. Tillman's going to provide it. Yeah. He can shoot. He gives them more size. Anything to add to their depth. We all know this is a weakness. I think this is going to really help them. And I'm surprised by the Utah trade because that kid can hoop. I wonder why, yeah. I don't know. That was a weird one. But the Tillman to Boston, that's going to help them. Okay, we're happy on that. Yeah. And move the needle for us here, Shoms. We also have all-star news. That's the other part of everything. I got distracted. That's the guy who walked by that suit was awful. Did you see it? Oh, by the way, Shoms, there was awful. I got distracted. I got distracted because you're on the Santa hat. It's distracting. All-star news. What is it, a team? Yeah, it's like there's some character going on out there. We got another team competing in the skills challenge. Who? What? Yeah. This one's for you, Michelle. So we have a pick of number one overall picks in the skill challenge. There's Anthony Edwards. Yes. There's Paolo Bencaro and Victor Wemenyama. So that will be one of the teams in the skills challenge. We have a team. We have an Indiana team with Tyrus Albert and Miles Turner and Benedict Matherin. But this is another team. And this is some major star power on Saturday night at skills challenge. We haven't seen a pick of all number one overall picks or a team with number one overall picks all participating in this before. Oh, I like this. Basically, it's the Mon Stars versus the Indiana Paces. And it's beautiful. And it's just those two teams, Shoms? That's it? There's going to be at least one more team. But we don't know the team of the third team, right? Like, OK, gotcha, gotcha. Well, all right, so let's just do team Indiana versus team number one. What are we doing? I mean, come on. Isn't that fun? I'm going in. I'm going in the chemistry. I'm taking Indiana. I mean, they have that homework. I guess they play. It is a skills competition channeler. It's going to be one person out there at a time. They're not building blocks together. No, this is not happening. Give me the Mon Stars. Give me Paolo and Wemby for the win. I think the young guns buckle under pressure. Oh, chance. In the spirit of Vegas, thousand dollar bet. Yeah. I actually would like to do that too. I would like to do a thousand dollar bet. And that's how she lost money. Let's go Pacers. OK, so we got Mon Stars. We're going to win that one. And the dunk contest, we know we found out the Jalen Brown thing. And that was a big moment for us. Is that confirmed? Well, is he confirmed? Shoms? Jalen Brown is in the dunk contest. This is the most exciting news for all three of you guys. I want to hear all you guys' input. This is the dunk contest that's expected. Jalen Brown of the Celtics. Hame Hakes of the Miami Heat. You have Jacob Toppin. He's on a two-way contract with the Knicks and Mack McClung. That is your dunk contest that's expected to be announced tomorrow by the NBA. What are your guys' thoughts? You know what? When you announced Jalen Brown, I was thinking, please announce Jacob Toppin next. Here we go. I hate you so much. Stop. Listen, listen, I'm super excited about this. I'm super excited about this dunk contest. I look forward to seeing Jalen Brown, like I mentioned yesterday. He brings that star power. He brings attention to the event. But Mack McClung... He's going back to back? No. Is by far one of the best dunkers in this competition. One of the best dunkers I've ever seen. I look forward to really seeing this matchup. Hold on. How much do you believe? Are you picking him? Mack McClung? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you have to after those raving reviews. Wow. Right. I had to stay home in this. I will say as much as I'm joking around about Toppin and Mack McClung, it is a cool opportunity for these guys to be able to do this. Oh, yeah. And it opens the gates for other kids that are going to be able to do this and showcase their talent, their skills. So, it is... I mean, we said yesterday, we want the genre answer. We want the zions. We're getting... It's one step closer. But this is cool for him to be able to do that also weekend and experience that as an NBA player and show us what he's got. Do we think that if Jalen Brown... And no offense to the list, right? But if Jalen Brown loses... Does that... Is that the end of the stars? No, it's not a big deal. Listen. We're excited that he's... We're excited that he's involved. We're excited that he even wanted to be a part of it. Absolutely. We don't care. You know, he did the honorary thing this summer with the Big Three where he was one of the first active players to be involved in that. There's no shame in just putting yourself out there just to bring more recognition to certain things. And we think the Slam Dunk Contest needs this. I hope he thinks that. Yeah. I really do. It's more important that he's doing it. Different balls. It changes the atmosphere for every doubt. I mean, and you know... I think if he wins... We can rig it. This opens the door for Ja. This opens the door for Zion Williamson. This makes it a complete... Yeah. He wins it. Those other guys should want to do it more. Well, I'm not saying cheat, but maybe we make him win. Yeah. We just keep one good dunk. We're the judges. Three good dunk. Let's get to him. Yeah, yeah. We're going to make it happen. Shoms, we missed you. I think Mack McClearn has some stuff we haven't seen before. Like last year. Well, I mean you got... Which is crazy because he's already shown us a lot. What else is he going to do? More stuff. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see. And that is how television's made. Shoms, love you. Made it. Made it. We'll be back with Breeze Hall and Quincy Williams of your New York Jets. Run it back. Run it back. Run it back. Run it back. Run it back. Run it back. Run it back. That's right. If you haven't figured it out, I'm going to get into it right away. But I was expecting a Super Bowl appearance this season, but we won't get there yet. We're going to do a little basketball, obviously, because we are here and it's time. We've hijacked this entire area to talk oops. You played in Kansas. Mm-hmm. Talk to me about position, how good you are. Like, I want to hear some bragging. Yeah, I was a point guard, shooting guard. You know, my first love was basketball, but then I realized I'm not going to be 6' 7". Fair. So, I'm going to be 6' 7". I'm going to be 6' 7". I'm going to be 6' 7". I'm going to be 6' 7". I'm not going to be 6' 7". Fair. Football with fun. Hey, y'all ain't got to be 6' 7". Yeah, I'm just saying. Like, he's lying. You know, but I was a little bit of everything. I think my comp, I like Jamal Murray. I was a bit of a little bit of everything. Like that. I could score. I could facilitate. So, you know, I love hooping. That's what I was going to ask you. Yeah, right. You're a facilitator, shoot. You get to the rim. You got an oil. You got a deep bag. Yeah, but I had sneaky bounce, so I had a few good dunks and everything. You know, so that was my, I like to drive to facilitate. A sneaky, he's got sneaky bounce. Well, we dug and we found it. Yeah. The video of you dunking in high school. The video. You guys get to judge what you're about to see here. I want to hear about the critiquing. Okay. And what have you. Here we go. Did they call a foul? No, they didn't. They didn't. 23, of course. They should have gave you the AN-1 blocking. He tried to get out of the way. That's pretty good. That's sneaky bounce. Ain't that sneaky? Yeah, that's not sneaky. That's sneaky about that. That's real bad. Yeah, that's real bounce. Dude tried to bail out last night. He knew he was in trouble. And we need a free throw with that, too. Dude, that's actually, that's really pretty. I'm just impressive. Let me ask you this. You play football in Murray State. You were there at the same time as John Moran. Did you know John? Yeah, I talked to him a couple of times. He cool people, though. Did you know when you both was on campus, did you know that he was going to be one of the ones? No, he was going to be one of the ones. I just kept practicing one time just to go to the game. Really? To be honest with you. Really? I'm sick. I'm sick, though. They play down the street. What do you want? UT Moran? I'm going straight to the game. That's hilarious. For real. It's like a little superstar, though. Can we help him? Can he get him some help, please? Can we get him some slam dunk condos when he gets better? Like, please. Hey, listen, he's doing this thing right now. He came back. I mean, got injured and stuff like that and stuff going on. But he good people for real, though. We want to see him do something crazy and just, yeah. Win us all back because the world got mad at him. We got mad at him. What do you want from us? He's still human, though. That's the man. Yeah, I know. And we want to see him. What do we say? He's one of the few guys I'd pay money to watch. He's also super young, man. He's real. Yeah, you live here, you learn. You grow from it. I just want him in this slam dunk contest. I want him. Right. By the way, we got Jalen Brown yesterday and then we got Obi Toppin's brother. Like, right when we get to... Okay, see, that's not... But you know what I mean? Yeah, no, that's not. God takes. Breeze, you played at Iowa State. Tyrese Halliburton was there. Yeah. He's obviously blown up. Did you see that coming or did you know he was going to be one of the best? Yeah, I remember going on my visits and my coaches... My football coaches knew I love basketball, so they would take me to some of the practices and let me shoot around with the guys. And George Nieng and Tyrese were the first two guys I met, so meeting them. And then I ended up graduating high school early. So Tyrese's freshman year was also a little bit of my freshman year. And so I always had tutoring with him in the morning and stuff. So me and him have a really good relationship. Hey, in no way you went to tutoring. Oh, we would go, but we weren't doing no work. We didn't do no work. You had to clock. You had to clock. Yeah. Yeah. At Florida, we just had to go, show that we were there. Yeah. Yeah. Get the out bounce. That's shocking coming from you. Because I thought you were brilliant. Now I realize... Did he dress weird back then, or is this new style thing with Tyrese? No, no. That's not on the list. That's not on the list. Sorry. His style back then was very, I would say like regular. He's from Wisconsin. Yeah. He got to Iowa. He was more just chill stuff, sweats, Jordans. And now he'd be wearing... Yeah. Now he'd be wearing... Sometimes he'd be putting it on, but sometimes I'd be like nah. I mean some of the trench coats are... This should be more the other day. Yeah, he had the full leather on top of leather. So much leather in one outfit. He could afford it though. No, it doesn't matter if you can afford it. You don't need to buy it. Yeah. So if you're born in Alabama and you want to be an NBA fan, what do you do? You want to be an NBA fan? Yeah. Who do you root for? Yeah, who's the squad? Oh yeah, that is a... You just pick? You feel me? You go hogs or you go over to Nashville or something like that? You feel me? Go to Memphis? Yeah. What'd you do? I went to Atlanta. The hogs fan? All right. You a young fan? Huh? You a young fan? Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. A couple of the games and stuff like that. I got to find time this year. Yeah, we'll make sure you get right. You feel me? Like the mayor of Atlanta? That's what I said. I just moved to Atlanta. So, you know, you guys got to connect. He's the guy to know. Hey, what'd you say? In the little wings? Spots, though? Oh yeah, I got a bunch of them. I got a bunch of them. I got a bunch of them. I got a bunch of them. You feel me, Louie? He loves that. You ain't going for the wings. Okay, but then Kansas, another predicament geographically that you just pick a team? Yeah, I was a LeBron guy. I've been a LeBron guy. But right now the Clippers is hooping. So you feel me? I'm working with the Clippers. You think LeBron got a shot to get back in the playoffs this year? At their trade for Cam Thomas. Okay. Oh, really? That ain't happening, but... Yeah. Oh, no. No. That's who they need to get. They didn't have to score. That's who they need to get. I said DeMar DeRozzi yesterday. DeMar DeRozzi, a competent guy. He's from LA. I think it'll be a perfect match. Yeah, something needs to happen with the trades. What's taken so long? Yes, it's nothing crazy. Less than 24 hours away. I don't like it. So is LeBron your goat or is MJ the goat? LeBron. LeBron. Easy. That's what we say all the time. LeBron gets shit on him. It's a generational thing. As the old person up here, it's everything. Yeah, it's a generational thing. MJ is my favorite. Like, I like him. Yeah. I mean, I don't watch LeBron play. You feel me? Like, hey, you can get to watch him. I'm watching highlights all the time. He's a bigger, better, faster version of him. I know. I'm watching cool games with him. Hey. It's also fair. It's not fun to watch highlights. Don't start that. We ain't going to listen. You're already getting the best dude. We lost. We ain't going to say all that. I'm going to say one-on-one right now. What's the score and who wins? One-on-one? I ain't play the best bottom. I'm just over with. Yeah, it ain't even. You know what, gentlemen? I ain't play the best bottom in a minute. So would you say... Now we go to the arcade and shoot. Yeah. I got the popper shot. Popper shot, all right. Your popper shot all-star. I've won it if too. You've vivid? I've won it if too. I'm more like an all-star game type. Like Dunkin' Tins. Yeah. I shoot out. All right, bitch. Cool game. Yeah. Would you say you're the best hooper on the jet? Who would you say one of your teammates probably wanted a better hooper? So we actually got a hooper in our team meeting room. And I'm probably like nine-on-one right now. Like we'd be going to five a little bit before the meetings and stuff. But everybody's... The only person that's beaten me is Tyler Conklin. And he, a six-seven tight end. So like if you bigger than me, you could back me down. But anybody six-two under, I'm hooping. Yeah, I ain't worried about him. Are there enough dudes in there that you could make a starting five, a decent one? Yeah. Who is it? A starting five. I'm going to go me at the one. Who? I'm going to put T.A. in there. Let's shoot him. I could put T.A. Tony Adams. He's safe. You put him at the two. You remind me of Ray Allen. You've got a GM over here. As the rat, linebacker at the three. Linebacker. At the four. I'm going to go Michael Clemens. Michael Clemens? Michael Clemens at the four. You're putting a nice little squad over there. Who do you like at the five? Who do you like at the five? I'm trying to see now. The five. Who do you like at the five? Aaron Rodgers gets no love. Yeah, is he even honest? He's completely fucking stupid. He's on the IR. He's gonna be our media people. Are you aOUGHt. We're going to start thinking about what pleasure you on doing. One of our biggest debates that we have all set up all the time are can an NFL player play an NBA. Can an NBA player play a game now that's not giving shifting control. We can played NBA before any NFL doctor to play that. I said if I'm on the two yard line I'm 6-10. Here we go. You fold it. I ca- you can't just throw it up like a lob. It's not happening at all. There's different, bro. It's harder than you scoring on like white litter. I'm telling you, it's me though, I'm telling you. If I see you out there, I'ma follow you. Don't kill you. And have it. I'm not even getting in there. You're not, bro. Like tall guys, it's a... You're not playing 7-0-7, man. No, it's a bang. It's a bang. All the guys, taller than everybody, but he coming for them legs, but I'm like, you're not feeling that. That's why I'm not 7-0-7. If it was 7-0-7, you might have him. Yeah. But if you tackled him, how many days before he'd get out of bed? Like I was gonna say, it's a procedure. He gonna have a bro real. He's got me. No, I'm just talking. No, I barely survived the NBA. But if y'all played football, what position did y'all play though? I honestly never played football. I only got a shot at being a wire seeker. Wire seeker? Yeah, I just got to outrun everybody. If you had to pick your... You not got anything to do, you play safe. I'll let you be clear. I don't want no smoke. I don't want to contact. I want to catch the ball. I want to be pretty. I don't want to get no dirt on my uniform. I want to dance. That's it, you know what I'm saying? Could you gain a yard at all? I could absolutely get a yard. A yard. One yard. Is someone blocking? During this season, I can get a yard. You say a block here. Really? If someone's blocking for me. I got 16 games. I can get a yard. And what if they miss the block? I'm gonna be the kicker. I'm gonna just keep it real. I'm just gonna kick. Great delay. That's it. That's it. That's all I got. Okay, let's reverse it then. If you played an NBA game, how many points do you think you get right now? How many points? In a full game? Yeah. I could get 10. I could get eight to 10 in the full game. Right now? Here we go. I'm just gonna get him out the leg. I'm gonna pick you up. I'm not, but I don't want to bring it up though. I'm gonna just be sitting there. That's even worse. That's even worse, because now you're gonna allow the defense to get set for you. I'm just gonna see you that. We just went to the base. But I agree though. We gotta allow you to run up for the block. Wide open corner three. You can make it. Who's gonna let them get open? I'm just saying. If PJ Tucker can sit in the corner and just shoot a wide open victory, I can do it. Yeah! No, no, no, no. If PJ Tucker can do it, I can do it. Hey. Dude, what is the record yesterday? Ryan D'Art, I can never say his name. Ryan D'Art, the actual pro. When he's straight games. Without a point. Zero point. Playing a third. And he's the trained professional. I had one of them drink versus two though. When you say, I see your brother, he did school? Yeah. Oh, Gary did school again. He's checking in at the end of the game. He's probably played eight total minutes. You could defend him a whole lot. Yeah, they're conditioning ain't it? No point. It's a shitty record to be on that side. It's an NBA record. I don't know what to tell you about it. Not a good one. It's not one you'd like to have. You don't want to have it. I'm getting history books though. I need to. So I am a like reformed Jets fan. I had a period and then I fell back. This year I got excited again. Right, September 11th. Aaron Rodgers with the big American flag. This is the year. 90 seconds, the dream was dead. All right, let's just pretend he didn't get hurt. How far do you think this would have gone? We would have easily wanted to play off easily. Easily used to play off. That was devastating. It was devastating. To see and you know you've got Robert Salah with the it was like a meme immediately. Just the faces for you guys because the off season was fun. Like things were happening. Yeah, having him kind of affects everything. Cause for me like I'm running the ball every play, but with Aaron, nobody's going to want to stack the box. So like it makes it things easier for me. And then we have receivers. It makes it easier for our receivers. Cause Aaron, he's so seasoned that he sees stuff that other other quarterbacks aren't seeing. So he changes a lot of plays and adjusts a lot of people's routes. So like having him get hurt, kind of changed our whole offense in a way of Aaron's not changing everything. He's not checking everything. And it definitely was a huge difference for sure. Cause then defenses are more doubting on me. Yeah, yeah. So it was like, yeah. Where else they going? Yeah, it was no offense. It was frustrating. Sticking with Aaron. I've golfed with him. He's a different dude. Would you ever think about going on any of these dark retreats? Not to go in and play. I hang out with him. I'd go to the party with him. To the club with him. He could have hang out with him. Did he start talking to you about like crazy theories and stuff he's read on the internet? Like, why does this work? He won't mention it too much until you feel me, yeah. Brilliant. Yeah, then he goes. Yeah, then it gets to the point where you're like. So I've been thinking. Yeah, like, why does he think that way? He's been waiting on you. Yeah, that's crazy. That's smart though. He doesn't bring it up first. By the way, I feel like a jackass, cause you guys have matching jackets on. We've been sitting here for, no, 10 minutes. We haven't even mentioned matching jackets. And we have wings. Okay, what's going on? What are y'all doing here? We're here with Bounty today. You feel me? I'm feeling the B. Yeah. Let that money. Money good, huh? Money good, huh? Let me say money good, huh? You get your fingers dirty with the sauce. Uh-huh. Bounty going to be there to get it off. So we... Hey, so today I'm going to be on it. We've been doing like punch lines and stuff. So we've been like... We've been competing. We're going to go, best bounty punch line. I'm going to get out my punch line. Yeah, that's it. Okay. Uh, what was it? No, not already. We've been doing like punch lines. Say your punch line again. Say your punch line again. You can't have football without wings. And you can't have wings without bounty. Okay. All right. Mine is... Don't worry about the sauce, bounty or pick a roper. Uh, I'd take this. You get extra money? Y'all got to write them down, though. No, I'm just trying to make it better. I'm going to keep running around doing y'all interviews. Y'all got to write them down. So we can get from here to there. Yeah. And keep building on it. But let me ask y'all. Let me ask y'all fellas this. Iowa, Kentucky. Did y'all ever spend a lot of time in New York City before y'all were drafted? Or... Luckily for me, my mom is a flight attendant. So I grew up traveling a lot. So, yeah, I have. But like now it's just, I'm a little more tapped in. I got a lot more connections, you know. And I'm a notable person out there. So it's a lot of newer stuff. A notable person. That's a nice way to say it. I like how you said it. I like that. I was elegant. So now I can... Now it's a lot more and I'm older, too. So I actually can do a lot more. What's your favorite part about being in the metropolitan area? Is it the pizza? It's a lot to do. You know, I lived in Philly eight years. Yeah. Cross that bridge, you don't have to pump y'all on gas. I was going to say, are you living on electricity? It's a little thing, it's a little thing, yeah. I'm pulling back up to Atlanta soon. We talking about Atlanta. I'm sitting in the car. Man, what's going on? I got to get out and pump y'all on gas. Waiting? Everything. Yeah, it's the pizza. It's the pizza. Guys, this has been awesome. We appreciate it. We will eat these wings. Yes, we will. Somebody's eating these wings. Lou. I'm not. All right, fine. Please call. Quick break. We'll be back with a cowboy for Lou. Tony Pollard. Run it back. Return. That's crazy. Run it back. Run it up. Run it back. I do too. Yup, yup. We like the high-stepping right there. It is. Feel good? I feel amazing. Feel great. All right, important stuff first. Because you play in Dallas. You're from Memphis. Your parents have a barbecue restaurant. As Texans, we also think our barbecue is top. So where are we on the barbecue wars? Memphis or Texas? Definitely Memphis. It's a close second. Why is it better? Because there's a different vibe altogether. It's like a different flavor. I can't really explain it and break it down. Is it sweeter, Memphis, barbecue? We can go dry rub, too. Kansas City's got good barbecue, too, right? Nobody's talking about Kansas City. I'm just saying they're not in the mix with Texas. No, we're talking about it. Tony, I want to ask you this. At your family restaurant, do y'all put barbecue sauce in the spaghetti? What? Is that a thing? Yeah. Wait, what? That's a Memphis thing. You put barbecue sauce in the spaghetti. You said it's tomato sauce. I didn't even know you could get spaghetti at a barbecue restaurant. Yeah. Really? Memphis. That's how I think. Can Taylor go to your parents' restaurant in Memphis? Yeah, he could. They want them to be good. They want to jump me? I'm good. No, I used to be good. You heard that, Memphis? Yeah, but you're going to have to carry me. Hey, shit. I'm coming back. Look, you're about to fuck it up. I'm coming back, and I'm going to Paulers. It's totally fine. OK, NBA-wise. Who gets to ask the ball into this? Did you root for the Grizzlies? Is that your team? Do you have a team? I did when I was a Miami fan. OK. So if it went wrong with Miami, or if Miami wasn't playing Grizzlies, then I'm trying for the Grizzlies. Were you a Miami fan like before the big three, or were they kind of like? Before the big three. Like D-Wade. Oh. Remember him? D-Wade, Lanzo Morning. Yeah. Yeah. Do you remember him stealing money from the Memphis Grizzlies at all? Why are you always going to bring that up? I didn't know. It's on my list. Can you imagine other real questions? Do you remember Chandler stealing money? Fine. That's hilarious. So who, if you, do you watch a lot of basketball still or not really? Not really. OK, I was going to ask, who would be the Tony Pollard of the NBA? All power. D-Wade. I'm thinking Westbrook. I like both. Yeah. I like, bro, what do you think? Westbrook, D-Wade. Because you got power. You got speed. I would say, give me the Young D-Rose. Oh. Ah, there we go. Young D-Rose. Electric. There we go. There we go. Now we talk. Speaking of a Young D-Rose, who would you say is the best basketball player on the Cowboys right now? On the Cowboys? Yeah. I'll play. Oh, you just, the tight end or the, you played at college basketball? I don't know if he's still on the Cowboys. Who? Oh my, what's his name? I played at Oklahoma, I thought. Oh, you tell my dad's bright? No. I played college basketball. I don't know if I got his name. Oh, we're basketball. Yeah. See a big guy, like a. Yeah, Gallup. Didn't Gallup play college basketball? Did he? I thought so. Maybe I'm tripping. I don't know. I don't think so. Obviously not. Yeah. Yeah, I think you would know. You would remember to say Gallup. The best Hooper on the Cowboys. Let me see who can hoot. See, I'm not in a new plan. It's so weird. I would have thought there'd be guys. Can CD Hoot? CD can hoot. CD can hoot. All right. CD can hoot. Our quarterbacks allowed to play basketball. That can hoot. Look at my man real quick with the goggles on a little bit. I'm distracted. No, that's what I'm saying. It's a lot going home. Let me ask you this. You know, we both Whitehaven guys. We both from the city. I'm also a diehard Cowboys fan. You know, in Memphis, Cowboys have a big following. I grew up in it. I never had an opportunity to ever root for anybody else. Wow. Bro, what can we do? We got to get over the hump. Oh, God. We got to get over the hump. Fix it. Listen, not to get it. No, no. Because let me vent. I got to get this off my chest. I like it. Because we got to get there. We got to shut everybody up. I'm sick of all the noise. Not to get into specifics, but what do you think some things that we can address? And I'm saying we, you know, because that's how we get down Cowboys Nation. What do you think we could do to get over the hump? Is it a chemistry thing? Do we keep building with the same group of guys? I feel like, chemistry-wise, everything's on point. Like, all the guys, we all cool. We all mess with each other. All defensive guys, we get along. Is it a locker room thing? Is there something going on in there that's like... No, we just... Is it the quarterback? Is it the coach? We got to figure it out. Because we're right there on the brink. Every time. We're right there on the brink. We got to get over there, hump. We got to win a big game, man. I can't wait to see you in a parade and we get there. But it's just, it's something missing. I can't figure, I can't put my finger on it. We just got to make it happen. That's all I... Let me ask you guys this. Because you have, you have your perspective. You are a fan. So you have your theories. But is it the same thing each year that seems to be that wall? Or is it changing? For me, for me as a fan, it look like we're not a great road team. Okay. We love our dome so much. Who are you right now? Listen, I'm a real... Yeah. How you doing, man? Lou will. Who is Lou today? Lou, you're such a cowboy fan. How did you not? I even knew that. What's wrong with you? How did you not? But I think that dome is so nice. Yeah, I will. And it's so lively when you're a Dallas Cowboys fan. Sometimes we go on the road. We don't travel as well and we don't play as well on the road. And I think that's been one of our Achilles heel as a fan. Would you agree or would you disagree with that? Yeah, I could agree with that. Yeah. How do we fix that then? How do you get better on the road? Because sometimes... I don't know. We'll figure this out. We got to put some grass down in the Prex facility. We mentioned the team. Dak Prescott, polarizing player. What's it been like playing with him? I mean, it's a normal day for me. Yeah. I've been in the deck since I got drafted, so... I feel like I've been on deck though before I got drafted because he wanted to miss the state. And I feel like I used to see him around a lot. Yeah. You know, that's not far from Memphis, so... I feel like I've been on deck. And he's always been the same cool, chill, down-to-earth guy. Like, I've always been the same. Yeah. You know what's funny is that you use the word polarizing with Dak? Yeah. But he also just seems like a nice kid who happens to be the quarterback of one of the most famous teams in the world. So we say polarizing, but you must see him completely. Do you see anything about him that should make us be so hard on him all the time? I mean, he's a cowboy. That's the only thing. Yeah, that's it. He's the starting quarterback of the Cowboys. That's it. That's like being the best player on the lake. He's going to get brazed with the good. He's good. He's going to get shit on when they lose. Right. Yeah. And that's exactly what keeps happening here in your out. All right, Lou. I'm going to ask the question for Lou. If he had your O-line blocking for him, can he gain a couple yards in a game? Can Lou? Yep. Yeah. No way. I appreciate... Listen, I appreciate the motor confidence, but hell no. I don't want to gain no yards. You don't want to get hit, right? I don't want to get hit. That's all you got to do is run away from him. Get out of bounds. Make it happen. There you go. Now, Chandler, you want to ask your question? I just said... I'm tall, right? I'm a tall guy. If I'm in the end zone, couldn't you just throw a jump ball up to me with a smaller corner back? Like, I can't catch or... Yeah, like a fade ball. Yeah, exactly. I get the physicality. They're going to pop me in the first... Why are you being so nice to me? TP to nice. I'm saying, like, if I had him on my team, I would throw a jump ball in the end zone. You would? There's no corner that can guard someone 6'10". Then we asked these guys on the jets, we were like... No, they can't. Somebody, like... Somebody can guard you for sure. If they didn't, we'd die. More than likely, it's not a lot of people that can. I think we both get pushed out of bounds, Chandler. I agree. I am just simply saying, once I'm in the end zone, just throw it up. Once I'm in the end zone. You don't even think I'm getting in the end zone? I don't think you're getting in the end zone, bro. Whatever. I really want to line up. I really want to... I really want to... I'm telling you tomorrow, I'm going to just bully him. Yeah. I really want this to happen. We'll do it right here. Over there. So one of the highest paid corners of all time, you're going to wake up out of your bed and just bully him. I'm not going to wake up. I'm not going to go to sleep. So who are we kidding? He's not sleeping this entire... That's not going to be ridiculous. Hold on. Are your families actually Steeler's fans? Like, they were... They were? So how did that conversation go? Okay, I'm a cowboy now. We're changing. Camber, basically. Really? Yeah. Because my dad is a Steeler's fan. I couldn't imagine sitting him down and being like, we are Dallas fans now. They said it. Like, when I got drafted, that was the mindset, like, all right, I was still a fan, but now I'm Dallas. But it took a minute for it to... That's how... Like, I call sometimes and I still catch them like... Pittsburgh hat. Pittsburgh jersey. And I'm like, come on now. Is that something like when... Like when I was a free agent, I'm from Orlando. I didn't really... I didn't want to go back and play in Orlando. Is that something that if you're a free agent, obviously you'd probably want to stay with the Cowboys. But like just Pittsburgh, are they in the mix with your family, such big fans? It doesn't matter. You're going where the bag is. Well, it is right. Good answer. Well, it is right, man. Let me ask you, what was your... What was your welcome to the NFL moment when you realized I've arrived? I want to say I've arrived. Or was there a moment where you just got tackled and were like, shit, this is... This is crazy. This is not me. I'm here. Yeah. I've got hit a couple of times. This... Hit so hard. Hit so hard. I can't remember. That's a tough question. It's hard to pinpoint it. I remember my first game. This something crazy. My first game of my rookie year. I got fined for like 25,000. Before I even had it. For what? Why? For targeting. Oh, okay. And I was running the ball. You were... What? One of my... One of my welcome to the NBA moments was walking in the locker room. This is my first preseason game. And looking at my locker, like, oh, wow. Like, this is... That's my jersey. That's sweet. That's my jersey. Those are my shoes. Like, I'm really... I'm really here. You never had one of those experiences where it was like, okay, this... And this is the Dallas Cowboys. Like, once you get, like, signed or picked up by the Cowboys as a rookie, like, it's a different... It's two locker rooms. You got the main locker room, then you got, like, a little small side locker room where, like, the guys that we signed are late for the rookie. Okay, okay. So, like, sitting in there. You got the same thing, yeah. Then I'm just like, this is my locker, but this ain't the real one. So when I got to the real locker room, that's when I'm like, oh, I made it. Yeah, that was it. That was it. That's kind of mean that there's, like, a tease locker room. No, because in preseason, you might have 20, 22 guys in there. Yeah, you have a lot. Everybody's... Yes. In the NBA, you might have guys in the bathroom. Oh, for sure. Even, like, a 10-day guy, they don't have, like, a full locker room. Yeah, you might have it Yeah. All right, that's fair. I'll buy that. Oh, we got a moment here. It went viral in 2022. It was against the Vikings. And you did the MJ Shrug. Do you remember that? I do. What made you do that? Did you think ahead of time this is what I'm going to do when this match? All right, that was just spared a moment. It felt like I was hot. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah. So it was just nice. Hey, you caught a 20-yard ball. I was going to tell you, it's my day. I mean... Tony, do you practice, like... There it is. Do you practice touchdown celebrations? Yeah. We were talking about it when they see the team, all the teams, they get involved. Clearly, this has been rehearsed. I mean, sometimes, when it's a group thing, yeah, you got to practice that. But when does this practice happen? It's like a dance. Like in the locker room, you're just fucking around. They told us yesterday they got a week to prepare. So one of the days, you got a bunch of time. And it's a confidence thing, too. A confident team, you feel like a team that doesn't stand a chance. You're going to be like, yeah, we're here. Who's the originator of the dance? Like, is there one guy that's like, I have an idea. Like, hear me out. Let's try this. And then you all learn it. How does that work? It's funny to me. I mean, sometimes we'll have, like, memes. Like, we call it a signal call of memes with just the players. And then, that could come up with an idea and be like, shit, who got an idea for a touchdown dance? That's funny to me. That just the visual of that makes me laugh. I mean, he scores a lot of touchdowns. You got to have a deep bag of dances and variations. A lot of ideas. You can't do, like, can you cross the line and get fined for a certain dance? Like, the T.E.O. back in the day, he put the phone there. You can't thrust, right? You can't do one and three. You can't do one and three. I knew that. Everybody's going to thrust it. Everybody's going to thrust it. He's Joellen B. Wait, wait, wait. He does the second. Three thrust. That's the law. That's the law. Oh, I would do two every touchdown. Two thrust. Two thrust. You're good. You're good. Boom. Halfway down. That's one. Got you. Serious question, man. Free agency is coming up for you. You are a free agent. You want to return. You're going to play the game. What's on your mind with that? I mean, I would like to be a cowboy, but at the end of the day, I know it's a bid. So it is what it is. You know, wherever the money is right, wherever it's right for me, that's where I'll be at. Makes sense for me, man. I like it. Yeah. I like it. Oh, we got sleep number. You're doing something with sleep number? Ooh, I like this. What is it? I got sleep number for a minute now. It was pretty much a no-brainer when you just think about the effect that getting good sleep has on your performance the next day. It's a direct correlation between the two. So, you know, just having them in my corner, you know, getting better sleep, you know, being able to adjust my bed at night, you know, I came out for the ankle injury. So some days I'm practicing all day on my feet. My feet will get swollen, my ankles. So I can elevate the bed at night and then wake up feeling better. Ankle's not swollen anymore. Still. Will you tell them to call me because I need some severe trouble? We haven't slept yet. We've been here like three days already. Tony, this has been awesome. I wish you luck. Whatever happens, rest of the way. It's good stuff. Anything? Anything? And arm guards for your visit to his parents' restaurant. I'll be there. I'm coming. Going to Pollard's barbecue. I like it. We'll take a break. We'll be back with some more in a minute. You need to go. It could be a road trip. I don't think of a scenario in the world. So thank you for watching. Thank you guys for watching. I'll see you next week. I wear skimpy ass shorts. I'm always hot in this bus. shorts like that. We always teach Bettle a little slang. He got it on. He getting it on, right? Is it, he has it on? I tried to keep her pushing P today, she wasn't going for that position. No, it's that stuff. Keeping it Peter. She said, who's that? She said, who's that? Oh, let's laugh at the old white lady. Yeah. Let's just do it one segment. Oh my God. Look up. All right, let's, you want to talk? Did you play basketball? I played basketball, high school. Were you good? Yeah, what was the game? What was the game like? Nah, I was more defense, rebounder. Okay. I was like the athlete, the athlete baller. Played hard. Russell Westbrook, yeah. Russell Westbrook. All the little things. I'm a hustler. I'm a hustler. Everybody Russell Westbrook. Because the football is a little. They're too fast. Athletic fast, everybody Russell Westbrook. You found out of games for sure? For sure. For sure. There you have it. Defense, Lew doesn't play defense. He doesn't know anything about that. It's well noted that I don't play defense. I am a bucket. Big blue bucket. A-L-W on the side of it. Is it like a thing within the Patriots? You guys go like and be able to group together? Yeah, so we had a couple of times when we went to the gym. Oh, team Cromeraderie pooping. Who's the best Hooper on the squad? Jacoby Myers was the best Hooper when I went there. He was the guy. He not there no more, but when we play, yeah, he, he had a little something to him. If y'all had a, and Mac Wilson. If you guys had a, if you guys played basketball, and y'all had a starting five for the Patriots, who would be on your starting five? Ooh, ooh. Me, cause I gotta put myself in. By the way, Tony Pollard went to a staff member first. Yeah, just a heads up. He took a staff member? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, that was a jazz. Chris Hall went to a staff member. They didn't have a five, so he just went to a staff member. He went to like their PR guy. Their PR guy got the nod. I'm taking me, Mac Wilson. So Mac Wilson played in Matt Judon's celebrity game. Okay. That boy was catching alley oops, since the most stuff. Oh, I like that. I'm gonna take Matthew Judon. He kind of a big. I'm gonna take Trent Brown. All right. He gonna be the center. But Judon gonna be the four. Why you say it like that? I'm like the center. Who my last guy? I need to have a better guy. Oh geez. I'm gonna take Ty corn Thornton, my receiver, he kind of tall. He might have a little three to two, you know, shit. How do you feel? Do you feel good about the odds of this team winning anything? Or I'm not sure I believe anything you just said, but. We might have to put this together. Might get the Jets start five. It's the Patriots start five. If you do this in the off season, they should do like a. Oh, y'all might actually run this up. Yeah, yeah. Do business. We gotta put that together. Is this the next best idea ever? I think we just came up with a brilliant idea. Yeah, right? I would watch this. Celebrity, you know what I'm saying? I want it. We gotta play football. Okay, there it is. There it is. There we go. Hold on, hold on. Let me put my cup down. I got a couple questions for you. Let me put my cup down. Every single guess we've had, here's the debate. This is not a debate. Can NBA players play in NFL? And can NFL players play in NBA? However, I think. I think, first of all, the answer is no. No. But I think. For a minute. For like a play. Yeah. If you gave me a 16 game season, I can catch a pass. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're playing entire games for 16 games and you catch one pass, that's what you're doing. Yeah. I'm being realistic with my expectations. Just like an NFL player, if you can shoot and it's a swing, swing, wide open three, you might hit one, like it's possible. It's not crazy. How many points do you think you score in the NBA game right now? I think I'm only getting like five points, four points. See, I like him. I like him. See, we had a guy come over and tell us 10 to 15. We're like, bro, we're not going for that. No, we're not going for that. We're not going for that. Maybe if I practiced and was on the team and was able to grow. Now, if you were able to train and prepare yourself for it. Yeah, maybe. Absolutely, yeah. Strong maybe. Definitely. I like him. See, for like football players, basketball players playing football, I think it's a certain height limit. That's what I'm saying. I can't just go in the end zone, go and jump ball to me and I can't get up. See, that's your role. Yeah, that's it. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, that's it. See, like, Lou, you might be able to, you might be able to catch more passes if it's the right system. OK. I'm going to push the right position. You can run a slant route, catch the ball. And then get out of bounds. You can, bro. I'm not going in the middle of that. Right in the middle of that. That's it. Crazy. Get out of bounds. But if it's the right defense, you might take it to the end zone. Well, it all depends. But sometimes, yeah. What defense is that? Yeah. They always there. They always there. I love that Lou's smart. Lou's like, I want no part of this hypothetical. I want nothing. He got a great point. Like, he's just not even like that. Because I respect pros. I had a friend tell me he could get in the ring with Floyd Mayweather because Floyd Mayweather was 145 pounds. He said, yeah, Floyd's going to hit me. Boom, boom. And I'm going to grab him. I said, that boom, boom. You breeze past. He's going to knock you out. He's going to feel it. Yeah. But when I was a kid, they used to be like, how much money would it take? And this was in Mike Tyson's prime. How much money would it take for you to get around one punch? One punch. No, my brain damage forever. I'm not doing it. I'm going to spend all the money on health insurance. A billion dollars. I'm going to spend the money on health insurance. I don't want that. By the way, you're coming off an injury. How are you doing? I'm doing well. You ready? I had a schedule. Yeah. I've been tagging it head-on. I like this. We're trying to figure out where Bill Belichick's going to pop up next. Yeah, what do we think? On a beach. I think you know. Yeah. I'm searching for him on the media. I think so. That's the rumor. Could you see him? Media. I literally couldn't see him speaking full time. That's what's funny. So he hates the media. But I think talking with it, I think he likes to do it. I thought it was funny when it was like, oh, the Falcons are interviewing him. Yeah, they did. Or twice. Is he interviewing them, though? He's got all auditioned. And he didn't get it. But if he wanted it, it's his, I think. No, it's not how that works. I think when it's Bill Belichick, it's not like. Like, Pop can't get any job in the NBA right now. He interviewed for the Falcons job. He wanted it to be full control. He wanted all the power. Can Pop get any job in the NBA right now? Why would you want it? Absolutely not. I'm just saying. Absolutely not. I advise you. Shorts are awesome. They're your own design. Got a website. I'm plugging them for you. You can play for the 49ers. Oh, yeah, quick. Who's your pick? I'm going with the Niners, so I love those guys. There it is. Niners. I lost with them, too, but I hate my homies. Come hang with us any time. That's going to do it for us. Running Back, we have one more show this week. One more show this week. If we survive, we'll see y'all tomorrow.
