Starting a very anticipated three-game set. The London games are going down between the Mets and the Phillies over there in the UK.

You're gonna, you know, you're gonna watch that one just cuz it's in London. Just check in on second on your Mets again. Yeah, I'll check in. You're gonna surf in again. I don't have like a whole lot of hope. You're gonna keep calm and carry on watching your Mets.

I'm not that invested at this point. Some great photos. Piazzas over there. Yeah.

A lot of old Mets greats. Oh, yeah, Chase Utley's there as well. He lives in London now. He does? He does indeed.

Okay, but let me tell you what you don't put in the same sentence. Chase Utley in the Mets. He's there, pal. It's the Phillies. Phillies have best record in the National League. Is there any word on Juan Soto's forearm? I saw John Heyman say the Yankees are nervous. Yeah, they're nervous. I'd be nervous, too. Oh, yeah, my forearm. Ooh, my arm.

I hope it's like Al Chirvick. So, ah, the Yankees are nervous. I'm nervous. Yeah. Good Lord. Yeah. All right.

Breathe. Sean O'Malley aka Sugar. Sean O'Malley will be joining us in 18 minutes time. We'll also show a clip of Fight, Inc. inside the UFC chronicling. Key Storyline's biggest stars of UFC. Our friend Israel Adesanya's featured in this. So is Sean O'Malley.

Amanda Nunez as well as part of this document. It's Roku Original. That's available for everybody to start streaming today right here on the Roku Channel.

We're thrilled to be live right on the Roku Channel as we are every day. If you missed any of the first two hours, PJ Carlissimo, and we also had Blahkei Corum of the La Rams. Do I say that? Blahkei on the La Rams.

Yeah. Blake Corum. PJ Carlissimo, Mike Flori. You missed it.

We re-air at the end of this hour. One of my favorite coaches, man. Mike McDaniel. You know I love him. You know, I gave him my three favorite coaching cliches and one more and he said not only will I use them, I will use them in my first press conference at the combine.

I will high-five you when I'm done doing. And that news a man of his word. He's just fascinating, man. Fascinating. And coaches utilize their past to be prologue to a successful present and make themselves future champions.

We see it all the time. And he's somebody that's very keen on narratives. Very keen on that because he knows his players are gonna be folk, you know, aware of it.

Everybody's very online present these days. You know, you can't you can't limit screen time when you're the the coach of players. And so he knows it. He knows they hear it. And the more that, you know, coaches even address it, means they're kind of plugged into their players, right? It's like bulletin board material.

You kind of front-load it. He was talking about narratives last year. In Frankfort, the game that I called on NFL Network between the Chiefs and the Dolphins, and he knew that the narrative of his team is, yeah, but who have we really beaten yet? And the Chiefs would be quite a nice feather in the cap and end that narrative on the spot. And that was the narrative that wasn't ended on that spot. And he was still dealing with when they saw the Chiefs again in the playoffs and then got frozen out, literally, figuratively.

I don't know if you saw this soundbite. Talking about the time that he sets for meetings, for his fellow coaches, during the offseason, and the meaning that it has, the time that he specifically sets in it. For half the offseason, you know, you're trying to have staff meetings at different times during the day.

And I had every staff meeting I put like at 7.24 or 3.24 or 5.24, like the number 24. Okay? To you guys, it means nothing. That's how many years it's been since the organization's won a playoff game. We are going to hear about that come playoff time.

You think? So, to me, you do that to empower guys to know what's coming, to understand it, to not run from it. Because if you're going to achieve success where people are predicting failure, you're going to have to go above and beyond. Also, if your coaches don't want to wait till 24 after the hour to have a meeting, then win a playoff game.

Then you reset it. Next year, we'll have meetings right on the hour. That's one way to handle that. I mean, that's something I would say. I know that. That's why I addressed you as I was delivering that. Notice I looked at you, not TJ or anybody else.

I know my own audience in this set. They were the rare team to have two playoff games last year. Dude, I know. Well, the Texans had three because they are the ones who won a playoff game in the last week of their regular season to make the playoffs. You're referring to the fact that the Dolphins had a playoff game in their final week of the regular season. Even though they already made the playoffs, it was for the right to host one. And when the division, and they did not, and they wound up being the wildcard team that went to negative gajillion degrees Kansas City from South Florida.

And instead of being in beautiful 70, 80 degree weather in their home stadium, they were freezing their asses off and got frozen out because they're not built for that weather. And speed gets killed by the feels like with a negative integer. So I just, I dig it. Now you might be sitting here saying, what does it even matter? But it's just like attention to detail like that and talking about it rather than hiding from it or hiding it or running from it. I kind of dig that sort of stuff. I just want to throw that out there. You know, but it would be great for them to win. And I'm sure he wants to have paid to get that done because he just doesn't want to go into the huddle thinking, you know, this is my team. Everybody.

I'm the quarterback of this team, but the team doesn't really want to sign me to my contract that I want. I don't think he wants that sort of vibe, but he can't control that. It's a Friday. It's What's More Likely Friday. And it's not just any What's More Likely Friday.

It's What's More Likely presented by T. Rowe Price. Hit it. What? What's more likely?

Never say never, but never. All right. What do you got over there, Christopher? Hey, everybody. Happy Friday. Same to you.

Same to you. Hey, Felly. Just waiting on music. There it is.

Hey. It's been there. We just heard.

Was it there the whole time? Yeah, it's all right. I didn't hear. I accept your apology.

Thank you. We didn't apologize. What's more likely?

Chris would apologize or he won't. I think we know the answer to that. Hey, we heard from Mike McDaniel just then. Dolphins have the longest playoff wind drought in the NFL at 24 seasons. We just heard the soundbite.

He's setting meeting times for his coaching staff at 24 minutes past the hour specifically to ingrain that in people's minds. A team that you love, Rich, the Raiders, our second 22 seasons. Yes. Who's more likely to end their playoff wind drought this year? Dolphins. Dolphins or Raiders?

Dolphins. Hey, man, with all due respect to Gardner, Minshew, he's got a heck of an opportunity. Sure does. He's got a heck of an opportunity to turn into like Kenny Stabler of the 21st century. You know what I mean? Rich Gannon. You know what I mean?

No, but Rich Gannon didn't have that sort of flowing hair. Sure, sure, sure. Let's just put it this way, man.

Let's put it this way. If Kenny Stabler was alive today, who's more likely, if Kenny Stabler was alive today, which former quarterback would be more likely to live out of his own RV across, in the parking lot of a spot where he can go beat 70-year-old women in pickleball? Which is what Gardner Minshew said he does in his offseason, or at least last year. Quite the move.

Sure, sure, sure. So, I mean, Gardner could be more of a Kenny Stabler type figure here and start winning games. I'm just concerned that the Raiders did not address their quarterback situation in this draft. The Raiders and the Giants were the ones who could have.

They tried, we heard. The Giants didn't take JJ McCarthy. They let him pass. The Raiders were trying to move up.

I understand that. They just couldn't. They were just one spot. I mean, the games that Antonio Pierce won to earn himself, rightfully, the removal of the interim tag cost them a few spots. And I'm just, in this quarterback-driven league, I will go with Tua over the current quarterback situation in Vegas, with all due respect. That makes sense.

They all just need a home game, though. Yes. We talked about this on Monday.

I saved it, and we're going to run it back now. Who's more likely to get 2,000 yards in a season next, a running back or a wide receiver? I'm a wide receiver. Never been done.

Never been done. In this passing league. People have come close.

Close. I think we can say what's going to get it. Running back. Give me the running back who's going to run for 2,000 yards.

Give it to me. I think the guy who's already done it. Derrick Henry?

Yeah. Well, I mean, me even saying in my best case scenario for the Ravens that Derrick Henry wins the rushing title. I saw that clank around a lot of Ravens fan circuits on the old social media machines, and even they were saying the one thing that might not be realistic is Derrick Henry winning the rushing title, because Keaton Mitchell's going to come back and Lamar's going to get his. And you know they're going to try and save Derrick Henry from carrying 20, 25, 30 times, despite it being kind of their MO. McCaffrey won the rushing title last year at 14, 59. That's what I'm saying.

I don't see somebody who's just. But we're only four years removed from Derrick Henry's 2,000 yard year. I know. I'll go wide receiver. Anybody? Beulah?

TJ, anybody? Okay. I agree. Okay. Thank you.

You agree? Wide receiver? All right, TJ. Well, this one's for you. Your quarterback doesn't have a contract beyond this year.

Oh, boy. This is more likely to be the 20, 25, week one starting quarterback for the Cowboys. Dak or Trey Lance?

Dak. I think so, too. Look, Terry, we know Jerry doesn't do things in a timely manner. He does them when he wants to. But there's never really been a time where the Cowboys haven't paid someone that he really wants.

They are really good, albeit at overpaying them sometimes. But I just can't. I don't know. I just don't see this marriage breaking up, Rich. I don't see it breaking up either. I don't.

I don't either. My only question for you is when will we see the time that Jerry Jones does something when he wants to? And it also dovetails as a timely manner.

Well, I think when do those Venn diagrams just become two circles? You know, just become like an eclipse. You know, here's the moon. Here's the sun.

The moon is Jerry doing things on his own time. And the sun is doing things in a timely manner. And they just eclipse. Right.

They pass one another. And it's the same thing. When we see that, we put on those cool glasses. Do not look directly at that. When that moment happens, don't look directly at it. Do you think anyone's ever gone up to Unk and be like, listen, Jerry, yesterday's price ain't today's price.

Ain't today's price. Do you think he knows this? Is he aware of it?

I don't know. I've said this before. He's the worst best businessman of all time. Settle down just a little bit. But that's the problem, Chris, because when your franchise is the most valuable franchise in all of sports. You do whatever you want. You're still making money hand over foot. And by the way, you know, the business he has with the Yankees about, you know, about selling PSLs and stadium names.

That may make more money than the Cowboys. I don't know. I mean, I said this a couple months ago and you guys laugh. I'm at the point now where is winning a Super Bowl really a priority? It is. Get out of here. You're making all this money.

It is. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. It all ended today.

He still is in the Hall of Fame as a three time Super Bowl. I know, right. But he doesn't. No one else. Not many people. Not everyone else. A few people can claim that.

Not many. My favorite soundbite from him and then his appearances on this program was when I asked him, you know, about you've got pretty much everything in your life. You know, what would it mean to get that fourth trophy? And he said that prior to winning his third, he spoke to God and said, if you give me this one, I won't ask you for another. And he'd like to now renegotiate that deal. You sound off the good Lord will do that, though. So Jack, that said, Dak is starting for the Cowboys week one. And I think we all know it. And that's the whole point of this last two minutes of our conversation.

What else? Chris, fun times, fun times. Not yet official, but I think Danny Hurley is down the street, I think, or he's coming either today or over the weekend. I expect it to happen.

I think we all do. So who makes their championship game in L.A. first? Jim Harbaugh or Danny Hurley? Oh, well, again, the last time, you know, we've got you know, these are two national champion head coaches who are now in Los Angeles, coming to Los Angeles, leaving college after winning a title as Jim Harbaugh just did for Michigan.

Sure. And so I will say the last time Jim took a gig in the NFL, he took the San Francisco 49ers from a six win team and made them a 13 win team and made the NFC championship game that very year. And he did it with Alex Smith. OK. And I think with John, with Jim Harbaugh now with a picture of with Derek Henry, I'll say right now I say Harbaugh is more likely to do it first. You knew that was going to be my answer out of just personal hatred for the franchise that represents. I'm going to say Jim Harbaugh, the top Lakers fans just watch the episodes, make it hard for me.

Just watch clipped and get through it. Oh, see, that's how he's struggling a couple more aging superstar, more likely to win another title before they retire. LeBron James Aaron Rodgers. Oh, my God. I'll go, I'll go, LeBron.

Where are you? I'll go, LeBron. Yeah. Do you do it with the Lakers? Yeah. I think so. Oh, interesting.

They get Danny Hurley. I think. I mean. Yeah.

Yeah. I'll go. I'll go, LeBron. What do you think, T.J.? Well, I mean, if you people thought the Cowboys drop, what do you mean by you people?

Just people at home looking at the camera. What else? But moving on to go full Brian Gumbel on you. Moving on. Aaron Judge hits 60 home runs or you get a rematch of the 09 World Series to best records in the league right now. Yankees, Phillies.

I will go. Well, I mean, have we gotten an update on Juan Soto's forearm yet? No. Because it's very important. It's very, very important. Juan Soto hitting in front of Aaron Judge is kind of important. But the Yankees pitching has been terrific. So I'd go it's more likely we get a rematch of the 2009 World Series is where I'll go on that front.

You can take down the music. That'd be a pretty fun. I would I would go with a rematch of the 2009 World Series is more likely than Aaron Judge hitting 60 home runs, certainly since we don't know what Juan Soto's forearm is to have we gotten an update on. No, no. I mean, I mean, literally, I'm going to I'm going to ask you like we got Sean O'Malley coming up.

We're going to stop the interview every two minutes just to ask you that question. Right. Real quick, Chris. Richard just saw a tweet.

You know, your favorite video of the Michael Jackson putting the gun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Somebody did the reversal when they heard about the copy. One. So they left tonight's game do to form this. And it's just like, you know, putting the last one more likely to be the higher total Celtics NBA finals wins this year or Patriots wins on the season. Oh, so you're saying four is the max.

Look at you, man. I say it's I think it's I think it's an even split tie. Yep.

Four and 13. Mm hmm. I'll sign for that. I know you would, because that means the Celtics win it all. So I think it's going to be a long year for your for your Pats, but that's not a surprise. But that's OK.

I know exactly. And you've got the right coach. I think you got the right situation, certainly post Belichick, which, you know, and we're coming off a duck boat parade. I'm with you.

I felt the same way in 1996. And what's what's more likely presented by T. Rowe Price, where confidence comes from a curiosity to uncover opportunities others may miss. T. Rowe Price asks smart questions to better understand risks, develop insights and give clients an investment edge.

That's part of what you're checking out later on this weekend, along with game one of the Stanley cup final game, two of the, um, NBA finals and Yankees Dodgers. If we got an update on one Soto weekend, nope, no update on one. Are you refreshing or you're not even refreshing? Well, I hadn't refreshed in like five minutes.

I've been refreshed. I read a tweet from someone that said today is their wedding day. And all they can think about is if one, so there's okay. So well, today's my Anna 21st anniversary, but I'm, I still have, I still have room for both.

You know what I mean? I can tell my wife, I love her and that she changed my life and I love her intensely and still worry about one. And I, and I, and how, and she understands, Susie understands. I feel the same way about Juan Soto having just known him for only two months, love at first sight. Ken Rosenthal is kind of saying the same thing that you said at the top of the show, that the language being used by the Yankees, just like it sounds just like Jason's Tommy John surgery last year, right?

Jason Dominguez, the Martian. Yeah, but I thought Tommy John was your elbow, not your form. Well, I mean, it's, it's a tendon that leads to the, yes, if you're, if you have like a flexor issue in your forearm, guys, just listen, my, my emotions are on a string right now. So be careful. Okay. You understand? Does everyone understand what's happening right now? You and your Dodger cap over there. I understand. Do you really care? This guy is Dodger hat.

I mean, can you imagine that's unreal, but just keep me up to speed on top of it. He is your current Bantam weight champion of UFC and one of the stars of fight incorporated inside the UFC, a Roku original that premieres today, exclusively on the Roku channel. The one, the only sugar Sean O'Malley here on the rich Isaac show. How are you, sir? Good to see you. What's up guys.

Good to be seen. How are you guys doing? Where, where have I found you? Where are you?

I am at one of my houses, uh, Hillen. We're going to have a little pool day and, uh, it's 103,000 degrees out. Can you, um, if you don't, we just met, so share with me whatever you're willing to share. What does a pool day at the sugar Sean O'Malley house, uh, look like?

What is that? Like walk me through a paint, the picture for me, if you don't mind, she's three. So she's going to have a couple of her little friends come up and we're going to have a little, uh, you know, sit in the pool for a little bit and then do a little barbecue. Are you cook? Are you grilling? Are you the one grilling? Are you at the grill? It's a new little hobby. I picked up grilling some steaks. I, uh, I used to hate cooking and recently I'd say about a year for about a year, I've been enjoying whipping up some steaks. Okay. So could you get a contract in the grilling contender series? Can you do that? I am a low level white belt at cooking, I would say, so I don't think so.

I use a meat thermometer, a little Bluetooth meat thermometer. So I mean, I don't mess it up too bad. I enjoy the way it tastes, you know? So it's, uh, I could improve, but it's pretty good. So there's a, there's a, there's a ceiling and you haven't reached your ceiling on that yet. So no. Have you reached your ceiling in, uh, in UFC, inside the Octagon, Sean?

Definitely not. You know, I feel like I'm, uh, improving every week. I'm continuing to get better, uh, at every aspect of fighting and, you know, I, I'm 29 right now.

I feel like I'm almost in my prime and, uh, I still feel like there's plenty of room to grow. When did you realize you could do this, that you were good at this? Um, when I was 16, naturally was just like a really good kickboxer. I, uh, yeah, I just, I feel like fighting came very natural to me. I've always looked at it as more of a sport than like a fight more like it's, it is a violent sport, but I've always kind of approached it as a more of a chess game to where it's like, you know, move versus move, skill versus skill rather than like, I just, you know, there's, don't get me wrong.

That last fight against Chido, I love inflicting damage on him. The dude's a dork, but, uh, for the most part, uh, it's more of a, it's more of a game sport that to me, so, um, so you started fighting in Montana. That's where you started. That's where you started honing your craft. Yep. Yeah. I started fighting in Montana when I was 16, hell on a Montana home state, grew up there, lived there till I was 19 and then moved to Phoenix and trained it, you know, one of the best gyms in the world. I was training at the MMA lab. Okay.

And who, who, who called you sugar for the first time? How did that happen? Sorry.

Say that again. I was trying to, my, my AirPod died mid conversation, so I was trying to switch it. No problem. It's all, it's all good. Uh, is the AirPod situation good now? Are we fine?

You just take it out. I don't care. You're fine with that. Yeah. That, uh, connected to Peppa pig on my other phone, so that didn't work. So wait a minute. All of a sudden we're conducting this interview and you're, you're, you're, you're Bluetooth connected to your three year old daughters watching Peppa pig right now. Is that what just happened in the middle of this interview? Sean?

Did that happen? Yeah. My right, my right. My right one died. Let me, let me just say, I'm sorry about that. Let me turn this. It's okay. This is not my best. My bad. It's all good.

This is great. No, you have no idea. Uh, it's been a while.

My daughter is 10 now, so it's been a while since I've watched Peppa pig, but I know exactly what your daughter's locked into right now, brother. I know it. Yeah. She, she, I got, so I got the AirPod in where we're, we're cooking on it. I don't know what the battery life is, but, uh, we're, we're ready about that. It's actually better without it in, to be honest with you, I don't know if that works for you.

You there, Sean? It's what? It's better with it out. Yeah. You know, there you go. That works for me.

There you go. I don't mind it. Honestly, I've, it's been a long time since I've watched Peppa pig, but here's the one thing. Here's the one thing, who's your least favorite opponent? Who's the one that you like inflicting damage on the most? For instance, it was Cheeto, you know, I liked beating him up, especially with the first fight, how it played out and everyone thought he was better than me and I knew skill for skill.

I was just the better fighter and I had to live with that for three and a half years. So once the, once the time rolled around that I got to really, you know, put my hands on him, it felt good. I feel like I'm going to enjoy putting my hands on Murab, who's next as well.

He's been, he's been talking a lot, you know, and, uh, I'm excited, excited for that one. Oh yeah. Cause for me in terms of kids, cartoon characters, uh, Caillou is my Cheeto.

I would want to inflict as much damage on Caillou as I possibly can. Your daughter's not watching Caillou, is she Sean? I don't think so. I'm not familiar with that one. So I don't think she's, she's watched that one. Just let me do you that favor.

If you ever see her watching Caillou, we, we, we, we, we, uh, we submit his ass. Okay. Can you do that? Please?

I'm helping you. She's on a frozen kick right now. It's frozen on repeat. That's good. You know, that's, that's, that's out. By the way, I would pay to hear you sing, let it go in a million. A lot of people would, I think a lot of people would, I think that would raise a ton of money for charity brother.

That is for sure. What do you envision? Like what's your, what's your vision of success, ultimate success for you? Um, you know, I, I, one, one thing I've always been talking about before I even got in the UFC was I wanted to be a pay-per-view star. I huge fan of Connor, um, Connor, Floyd, those guys are, are pay-per-view legends and uh, you know, I would like to, I, I, it's hard now today's age today, like people can stream pay-per-view so much easier and it's, it's like, you know, a lot different, but I would like to be known as like the pay-per-view pay-per-view King pay-per-view star.

So like that's the goal. Have you spoken to Connor about that sort of thing? Have you connected with him on that? No, I, Connor threw some shots at me recently.

Uh, I don't know. I think, I think Connor knows that his time's coming and my time's, you know, now. So I think there might be a little jealousy there. He probably disagree. I've always been a, you know, Connor supporter, huge Connor fan, but he's throwing shots lately. So, all right.

Well, that's not all right, but I, I, I hear you. Um, did I see you at the Brady roast? Were you at the Brady roast?

Sean? You did see me. I feel like everyone saw.

That's like, I felt like the cameraman was just sitting in front of me like the whole time. I, I felt like, uh, but yeah, that was, that was very cool. Uh, front row sitting right there, got to, got to meet a lot of cool guys and, uh, had a hell of a time. Who'd you enjoy meeting?

I'm seeing you with Gronk and Edelman up on the screen right now. Uh, me and Tom was cool, you know, he's a legend. Uh, it's cool to be around greatness.

I think, uh, when, when it comes to the legendary status greatness, I think longevity is a huge part of that. And to meet someone like Tom was really cool. Didn't really have much of a conversation with them, but you know, I got to say what's up and that was really cool. Do you, uh, do you have an NFL team that you root for at all?

What's that? Do you have an NFL team that you root for at all? No, I, I used to be, I used to be a diehard Broncos fan and once I moved to Phoenix, I kind of stopped watching football as much and just kind of, you know, wasn't really into sports as much as I was gotten to UFC, but I just like watching high level athletes like right now.

So it's been cool watching like Patrick Mahomes do his thing. Um, yeah, Joey B I'm, I'm fans of athletes more than the sports teams at this point. Okay. Well listen, um, Sean, uh, great chatting with you. Hopefully we get to do this a little bit more often. Uh, if you're in LA, I'd love to have you here in person cause I'd love to, you know, look you in the eye and, uh, and, and have a, uh, you know, a conversation about life in general and, and, uh, get more, get more of a, of a sit down with you. Yeah, I would love that. Yeah.

I would love that. Sorry about my, uh, my audio. It's all good. Don't worry about it.

Bluetooth, but it'd be easier in person. But listen, Peppa pig wouldn't, uh, burst in that's for sure. So, uh, so your daughter, your daughter is how, what's her name, Sean? Elena. She is spoiled.

She's a spoiled little princess right now and she's been throwing fits and she is, Hey, look at that pool. Nice set up brother. I like the setup. I like the setup. All right. So yeah. This is our old house.

We moved, I moved to, uh, moved out to a little farm out in Arizona. Now this is the pool at that house isn't set up yet. So we come here to go swim in. Okay. Very good.

And then obviously, you know, uh, the screen time for your daughter will be over throw her in the pool, feed her some, uh, feed her some of that food. And I look forward to seeing, uh, the, you in the documentary on the Roku channel, this Roku original fighting inside the UFC greatly appreciate you coming on to help us promote it, sir. Appreciate it. Oh yeah. You got it.

You'd be well, Sean O'Malley, everybody, the one and only show that went as I had hoped. Anytime someone's a girl, dad, that just wins you over. She wants to watch Peppa pig. She can watch Peppa pig. She just doesn't anymore, honestly. And Susie can attest to this, whatever my daughter wants and my brother, my, my sons, her brothers sometimes accuse me of having standards for them that I don't ascribe to Taylor.

Well, it's true. Right. Okay. Like, and I, the youngest and she's that she wants to do this. She wants to watch that show. You wants to watch this one.

She wants to, and it's been since, since jump where she asks me and she knows to come to me, but she knows when it comes to me and Susie, both of us draw the line at that whiny Canadian Caillou, the one thing that we will not stand for, and this is why many reasons why Susie and I are celebrating 21 years of marriage today is we're lockstep on a lot. And when you're a parent, when you're a parent, you're co-parenting, you know, and I don't know if you're seeing this yet with cage, K KG cage, he might sometimes ask you for something you say no, and then I'll go to Sarah or Sarah says, no, he's already doing that. Right. Okay.

He's so dumb. He'll do it immediately. I'll say no. We'll be in the same room, five feet away and it'll turn around and I'm like, yo, bro, I just said no.

I'm here. Right. I know. I know. Your mom's not going to say yes in front of me after I said no, but at some point he'll become cagey-er.

And so, yeah, um, first of all, it's great that, you know, when your child is devious, you want your child to eventually be the dumbest criminal ever. All right. You don't, you don't want, you don't want this thing to get too cagey, right?

So you're in good shape. Don't worry about it. What I'm saying though, is you and Sarah need to be lockstep on stuff, right? Susie and I, you got to be lockstep, you know, the number of times when I remember growing up, the best thing one kid can say to me is like, you and mom sound alike. You're saying the same thing. Yeah. That's great. We're a team.

We're doing the right thing. Yeah. And, um, one of the first things that Susie and I agreed on from jump, Caillou free zone.

Honestly. Long-standing beef you have with Caillou. Why do I feel like Caillou got canceled recently? You know why?

Because he deserved it. What is Caillou? It's just like Canadian. Worst Canadian ever.

And all Canadians are great. Generally. Oh my God. You would sit there watching when, when, when, cause you know, with the first, you, you, you don't know until you know, and so Zan would flip on Caillou or we'd flip on Caillou again. You know, you just saw Sean O'Malley's coming home. He knows he's got to, uh, to do the show.

He's kind enough to, to say yes. There's an obligation. Now media, he's doing a little media and then he's going to go hang with his daughter. So what do you do?

Well, I, you know, some of these there by himself, little screen time, the iPad, Peppa Pig is taking care of his young daughter while he needed to talk to the Rich Eisen show. Happens all the time. I got it wrong. Actually. Caillou went off the air in 2011 and it got brought back earlier this year.

That's an act of regression that cannot stand. Yeah. Who brought it back? Uh, I don't want to say actually. Okay, great. Nope. Whoever that is.

They're a former partner of ours. Okay. That's all right. That's all right.

Who is it? Peacock brought it back. Okay. Let me tell you something.

Peacock. Listen, love you folks. You guys are great. You guys were great. You guys are great.

With one exception. Who the hell said, you know what we miss? We miss somebody who's complaining and whining and doesn't take responsibility for things despite being a child. No, no. Pretty terrible.

We would sit there and we'd go really like this guy, this kid is getting away with that behavior and my child is watching a cartoon version of this. So I just wanted to leave Sugar in a better spot than I found him and he looked to be in a pretty damn good spot. He's living life. How about that?

Connor's talking crap about him. Yeah. I just kind of read up on that. All right. Did you really?

Well, he said he was more sad than mad. I kind of walked into that punch. But you know, we'll put that as a real and get the whole MMA community in on it. So all right. So that's that. We'll finish up this show in a moment on the Rich Eisen Show and get you ready for the weekend. It's that time of year, people.

I don't think there's a number, but I think it's when the pressure's on, when the tournaments happen, when the tests happen. Why? I'll break one right now if you need one.

Do we have one anywhere? Can we get a plank for this, man? The hot take plank, but don't break it. Oh, you got the hot take plank. Hot take plank.

I mean, why not? It's a two-by, that two-by-four that's right there. What kind of wood is it?

Now you got me. I have no idea. Let me see it. Hold on.

Standard plywood, I'm guessing. Get ready to cancel my show at Morongo tomorrow. I have a broken hand.

I don't know about this sweatshirt, we haven't taken it off in years. This would be amazing. If you could break this.

Is that a proper? I can break this. I haven't done this since I was 12. Okay, do you want to give it a try if you think you can do it?

But this is what I learned at the House of Empty Hands in Newark, New Jersey. Okay, very good. Here we go.

Did it break? Hold on. Hold it down? Is that better?

Yeah, that'd be good. Chris, hold it on the other side. All right, it's going. Hold it. Pull it out a little bit more.

So the end is on the box. You don't even have any music from Karate Kid? If he gets it, Gloria La, I'll play Gloria La. Here we go. Forget it. Damn it. I really thought I could do it, Rich.

I really thought I could do it. It's okay, Jeff. We still love you. And that love is stronger than ever. All of Jeff Ross's appearance on our YouTube channel. Back on The Rich Eisen Show, ready, set, griddle this grilling season.

Yeah, that was three hours ago. What's... You know, what's going on? Let me tell you. And I imagine this isn't one of those things when you and I go in an MRI tube, where you look at the technician for any sort of facial response, you know, and you're like, you got something for me? Like, can you tell me if I'm in the clear? Can you tell me what it says? And it can't.

You gotta hear from your doctor. And then 48 to 72 hours later, you hear. No. They're gonna find it. Like, literally, if I'm Brian Cashman, I'm standing...

I'm trying to get in the tube with them. All right, so Yes Network has some video from six minutes ago of Juan Soto walking into the ballpark. He gives a peace sign and fist bumps the camera guy. With his left or right hand? Fist bump. Uh-oh.

Fist bump with the left. All right. So there's that. That's it. That's not what it hurts. That's it.

He says it hurts when he's not swinging or hitting. That's it. So he used his injured arm to fist bump the security guy. All right, so he rounds the corner. He's holding the phone in his left hand.

Okay, that's good news. He switches... He should grip a phone. He switches to the right hand on the phone to give the peace sign. Yes.

And then... Does he give the peace sign with the hand that's injured? Yep.

He does. He has left hand peace. Okay, so that doesn't hurt. Left hand fist bump. That doesn't hurt. After switching phone from left to right.

Okay. At Yes Network. So he can switch... He can switch hands with his phone.

He can hold a phone. He can... That's the video. He can fly the deuce? Yep. Right?

And then he can fist bump. Okay. Okay.

There you go. That's good. That's feeling better?

That's the latest. I'm not feeling better. No, I'm not.

Thanks for asking. I'm not feeling better, Jay. It's literally a six second video.

That's enough. It's unbelievable. And it's just like, oh, it's been hurting for a week and a half. Really? Because the Yankees just went seven and two on a West Coast swing in that week and a half. And he hit a ton of bums. And you were raking.

Yeah. He was playing and playing and having fun and jumping around. And that's what leads everyone to believe last night, it wasn't any rain delay. He felt something last night.

Something felt worse than before. This whole business, this whole frigging business, is Jason Dominguez there? Is he there? Is the marshal there? No. I heard him whether he made it to the Bronx? No.

I saw a tweet that he was scheduled to come out of the game. It has nothing to do with being called up. Oh, it's scheduled. Yeah. It has nothing to do with being called up.

Oh. So Soto being removed was just out of precaution. The rain delay, they just figured, you know what, we don't need to play, even though it's a three-run game against the Twins.

We don't need you. And Dominguez being lifted from his game at the same time, it was just scheduled. And now he's just fist bumping, whatever.

I want answers is what I want. Paycheck, Dr. Buckner. Good one. Yeah, according to the New York Daily News, Dominguez has regularly exited games during his rehab assignment. Oh.

Okay. And it was just a coincidence. Just a regularly scheduled leaving of a game. That Soto also came out on the same day. That's good to know.

Okay. What are the odds? What's more likely on this Friday that it was just a removal from the game because it was a rain delay and they're going to be completely fine with it? Just at a precaution, they're going to stick them in an MRI tube and three hours later, we don't know as a populace what the hell's happened. And Jason Dominguez is removed at the same time in his game because it's regularly scheduled. Or Dominguez is coming up for an injured Soto who's going on the IL and he has the same thing that knocked Dominguez out of last year's season. What's more likely?

I'll go with B. Damn it. Yeah, sure.

Why not? All right, let's see the damn Soto video. Let's see it live. All right, here it comes. And my eyes see.

What am I seeing? Here we go. Here we go. Here it comes. All right, I see.

What am I seeing? It's literally six seconds. All right, here he is. Okay. Switch his phone. Okay.

That's not bad. Deuce. Yeah.

Where's a bump? Oh, but you don't see him connect. Yeah, but the guy's holding the camera. You don't see him connect. He's like, what's up?

The dude's holding the camera. I'm on Soto. I'm smiling. I have not been told I'm out for the year. That doesn't look like a man who's been told he's out for the year. He's got something significant. He's smiling.

He was like, hi. Does it look like a man who's going to be in the lineup tonight? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Why do you say that? I would say he's not playing this weekend at all.

Why? If the guy's complaining about it, why would you have him play? Because he raked with it the last week and a half. But nobody knew. Yeah, so now you know. But he knew the whole time. But now it's out there. He knew it.

We now know just because now we know it, now we got to have precaution. Would you rather him play this weekend or in the World Series? I'd rather him not just suddenly have something. If I had my druthers. I know that now.

Yes, right. I'm the man who's doing too much pressure. God, darn it. Anthony in Pennsylvania.

I don't know. Anthony. What's up, Anthony?

You're the last word today. What's up, sir? You there, Anthony? How we doing, Rich? Oh, boy. How you doing?

This is an accent. This sounds like a great finish today. I've got about three minutes, Anthony. What's going on with you?

Not much. First of all, I want to say happy anniversary, though. Thank you, sir. Susie and I accept that on behalf of- Yeah, I'm a diehard Jets fan over 60 years. I'm here in Pennsylvania now, but still a diehard Jets fan.

Where are you from originally? I just wanted to do one loss with you, Rich. Anthony, I love it. You're the first one to do one loss to the Jets. This is fantastic.

What a great way to send us to the weekend. Where are you from originally, Anthony? Bayonne, New Jersey.

You are legit. I lost the Bayonne Bridge from my hometown of Staten Island, New York. Here we go. At the San Francisco 49ers on a Monday night to start the season. Tough loss right there, but we're going to take a loss. We'll get them back in the Super Bowl. At the Titans. Titans win. Home for the Patriots on a Thursday night. Win. Home for the Broncos. Win.

Taking on the Vikings in London. Win. Four and one coming home to take on the Bills on a Monday night. Win. Five and one at the Steelers. Win.

Six and one at the Patriots. Win. Seven and one home for the Texans. Colts game, but we're going to pull it out. Win.

That is now an eight game win streak at the Cardinals. Win. Nine and one home for the Colts. Win. Ten and one off the bye week, home for the Seahawks. Win. Eleven and one at the Miami Dolphins. This is happening. We're going to get a loss there, Rich.

You've got to get one in there. Eleven and two at the Jacksonville Jaguars. Win. Twelve and two home for the Rams. Win. Thirteen and two at the Bills.

Lost there, Rich. Thirteen and three home for the Dolphins. Win.

Fourteen and three. Anthony and Pennsylvania. Then we'll beat the Chiefs and then the Ravens and the AFC and then we'll go to the Super Bowl with San Fran. And then you beat, and then the Jets win the Super Bowl? Is that what you're saying, Anthony? No, I said in the AFC playoffs, I'm saying we'll beat the Chiefs, then the Ravens, then we'll go to the Super Bowl.

To take on the Niners, and then do they win the Super Bowl? Oh, yeah. Yes, come on. Anthony and Pennsylvania.

Listen, brother, I had no idea it was growing up across the Bayonne Bridge from you, and I say this with all due respect, I need you to pee in a cup and send me a sample, okay? On a fail, Rich. Anthony. Call back, Anthony. We're out of time. Be good, brother.

Please, please don't lose our number. Have a great day. Have a great weekend.

You too. You didn't see me, man. One love. Anthony.

That's the kind of fan we all should be. Yes! What a finish! Here we go! Hey guys, welcome to the Candy Valentino Show. I'm Candy Valentino.
