USC Football, Alvie's Prize Picks, ATP's, Week That Was

K-pop demon hunters Haja Boy's breakfast meal and Huntrix meal have just dropped at McDonald's.

They're calling this a battle for the fans. What do you say to that, Rumi?

It's not a battle. So glad the Saja Boy could take breakfast and give our meal the rest of the day.

It is an honor to share.

No, it's our honor.

It is our larger honor. No, really. Stop.

You can really feel the respect in this battle. Pick a meal to pick a side.

Participate in McDonald's while supplies last.

All right, so rolling this thing into hour number three.

You know we start off having a lot of fun, having a good day.

And then all of a sudden things get took kind of a turn.

But now we're back for hour three.

So pick it back up.

Let's go into the weekend. Have a good time.

Everybody have a little fun.

Coming up in this third hour, I've got Lincoln Riley.

He is wrapping up a meeting as soon as I find him.

I will put him up. We are efforting him right now.

As I mentioned, Big R for Alvin Deloro.

He will have his prize pick segment. That's coming up.

We will have the week to was. That's coming up.

Some ATPs. Anything you want to ask me or anybody on the crew.

Go ahead and do so. Start sending those if you don't mind.

Ask the pros. That's brought to you by O'Reilly Auto Parts.

We already talked about the great equalizer.

I actually started the show by talking about that.

It is still undefeated.

And it hit yesterday.

The ump show became the dump show.

And the Tigers went big.

Oh, one baseball note.

The Mets lost their ninth in a row.

Their ninth in a row.

And yes, I understand they're waiting on one Soto.

And two thoughts on that.

So they don't have one Soto.

I get that. Big bad. They're biggest bad.

But they've lost nine in a row.

The Dodgers have been without Mookie Betts.

Best record of Major League Baseball.

Hasn't impacted them the way that's impacted the Mets.

Why? Because the Mets don't have the Dodgers roster.

That's a given.

But nine in a row.

So nothing good happening for New York.

They're not playing well.

All right. So as promised.

We are joined right now by the head football coach at USC.

He has coached the Trojus now for four seasons.

They're coming off in nine win year and an appearance in the holiday bowl.

He was previously the head coach at Oklahoma winning four straight big 12 championships

from 2017 to 2020.

He has made three college football playoff appearances.

I am talking about Lincoln Riley.

Lincoln, good to have you back on the show.

How you doing?

Hey, Jim. Good to see you, my friend.

Good to see you. Lincoln, appreciate it.

All right. So the NFL draft is coming up.

We've been talking about that now for weeks and weeks and weeks.

I want to talk to you about a few of your guys.

Let me start with McIleman.

He's out. Seems like he's a lock for the first round next Thursday.

When you look at him,

what separates him from others and what figures to be.

He's a really good receiver class this year.

Yeah, I mean, I think this guy is the most versatile receiver in the country, Jim.

You know, we've had a chance.

It's been fortunate to coach a lot of good ones throughout the years.

But you know, McIle, I think his is his versatility.

I think he's a scheme fit.

You can make an argument that there's really not a scheme in the league that he would not fit in with.

Well, he can play in the slot.

He can play outside.

He's good after the catch.

His contested catches are as good as anybody I've ever coached.

Route running ability.

It's all there.

And he's also a really dominant special teams player on top of it.

And so, you know, he's really developed.

I know there's a lot of teams that are eager to have the opportunity to add him and all the value he brings to their organizations.

USC football coach Lincoln Riley joining us.

All right.

Then I expected that as much from you on him.

Well, come on, Ramsey.

So I thought he played a big role in your defense of improvement a year ago.

How much of an impact you expect the talented safety

to make on the next level?

I think he's got a great opportunity to be a really good player at that level.

You know, Kamari came in.

He, like you said, he made a big impact early on for us.

Another guy that's really versatile, you know, he played both safety positions for us.

He played the nickel position.

He's an effective blitzer.

He's got really good ball skills, really good football instincts.

And so, yeah, I mean, I think a lot of people are kind of going back and forth on whether they seem in the slot or seem at safety.

But I, yeah, certainly a lot of a lot of position versatility.

He's just got a great feel for the game.

I mean, he gets football.

He understands space.

He understands schemes and how offenses are trying to attack them.

And so...

Well, that's you, Brad.

Lincoln Riley, my guest.

We are talking about some of their draft prospects from USC.

And he froze.

That'll happen.

We'll work on that.

We'll get that back momentarily.

And he's back.

Lincoln, you froze momentarily.

But if you were finishing that thought, Kamari, that'd be great.

Yeah, yeah.

Not sure exactly where I lost you, but yeah, he...

No, yeah, Kamari is.

He's such a versatile player, Jim, like he is.

He just...

He gets...

He understands ball.

He understands offensive schemes, space.

Just that awareness level is so high.

You know, it's not a guy that you have to rep a million times

to just really understand something.

And to be able to go play really fast and execute it.

So, yeah, it'll be fun to see where he lands.

I know a lot of people value him

and feel like he can be kind of an interesting chess piece,

especially on third downs as well.

So, I'm excited to see Kamari's career unfold.

He's talking on Lincoln Riley.

You know, one guy that really intrigues me.

I want to get your thoughts on Anthony Lucas.

All right, so another defensive player generating some buzz.

He's six-five.

He's got that great athletic ability.

How much of a difference maker do you think he might be

in the NFL coming off the edge?

Yeah, I'm excited to see with Anthony.

He's a really talented guy.

And he was definitely a raw player when he got here,

but I thought he really developed.

And I thought he really, if you watch his tape,

you really embrace being a physical player.

And that was important.

You know, his physicality and the run game,

you know, his ability with his size to set edges in the run game,

you know, to dominate tight ends really showed up.

And then I thought he really evolved as a pass rusher as well.

So he physically, he's got a great skill set.

He's a smart kid that I think is best footballs in front of him

because of how raw he was in the beginning.

But yeah, I think the added physicality was huge for him

and made him more of an every down player.

And I know that people are excited about what they saw,

but also excited about how good this guy can get

as his career continues to go.

So, Travis is coming up.

That's going to be really interesting.

Lincoln Riley joining us.

Lincoln, I mentioned you won nine games last year,

and you had a three win improvement in big 10 play.

You went seven and two in conference games.

So what kind of thoughts do you have about the state of the program

heading into your fifth year?

It works out of Jim.

I mean, I think this will be the most complete roster,

you know, that we've had here at USC.

We've returned some really good productive players

that we think are teed up to be, you know,

the best that they've been in their career,

including some positions that historically you would say,

hey, this is pretty important in terms of returning production

at quarterback offensive line,

running back defensive line.

We've got, you know, we've got quite a bit there,

which is exciting starting piece.

And then, you know, we brought in a great class.

We signed the number one recruiting class in the country.

You know, it's been great to get up the majority of those guys here

for spring ball.

And so that, that combination from a roster standpoint

is excited.

And we've just gotten a little bit better every single year.

And this group, I think there's deservedly a lot of excitement

around them.

You know, be excited to see the team come together.

But, but yeah, I think, you know,

especially the way we've been able to grow and build on the line of scrimmage

in this conference, it's obviously paramount with the competition

that you play weekend and week out.

I think it's, it's caused for a lot of optimism.

So, yeah, I can't wait for this season to come up.

You know, we, we came here to win championships.

You know, that's why you come to USC.

And we feel like our, this group is,

is certainly prepared in position to do that.

Lincoln Riley joining us.

I was going to ask you about that recruiting class.

Lincoln, you are in many cases.

You are ranked number one as you pointed out.

I want to ask you about that.

Did you change anything in the way of the way you approached it?

Was that just a matter of grind, hustle,

and what we're building is taking form?

I think, I think it's a lot of what you said,

that what we're building is taking form.

You know, and it's taking time.

You know, whether it's, you know, building the staff,

building the roster, having some success on the field.

We're getting ready to move into a new state of the art facility here

in about two months that was very much needed here.

You know, there's been so much to do,

but I think you're starting to see those things happen.

And now you're starting to really see and feel the power of USC,

the university and USC, the football program again.

And that's, that's exciting.

And so, you know, with that,

you know, recruits are excited.

People in Southern California are excited.

You're still able to get out and recruit across the country

because you feel like you have something really unique,

you know, to, to be able to offer to these people.

And so, yeah, it's been fun.

I mean, and we're off to a great start in this year's class as well.

And I don't see that slowing down any time soon.

So, yeah, it's been fun.

It's been a lot of work to get it to this point,

but to be able to recruit and build the roster like we have

is really exciting.

It's been a long time coming.

And it's going to be a lot of fun to watch USC football here

for the next several years.

So, look at a couple of thoughts before you go.

And I appreciate the time.

You mentioned you had a couple of key attorneys

and a couple of key positions.

Jay and my Ava obviously coming back for another year,

a quarterback.

He threw over 3,700 yards, 24 touchdowns last season.

How pleased are you to get another year with him?

And then what's his step next step look like?

Well, Jim, you know, that position having, having continuity

and having guys back.

I mean, you just, you can't put a value on that,

especially at the college level.

Just because of how many guys are, you know, moving

and then obviously you have eligibility,

you know, eligibility kind of barriers,

right?

You only get them for so many years.

So, to have a guy here, you know,

with us for his third year, with all the experience

that he's had is absolutely huge.

You know, if you look back at our offensive history

over the last 20 or so years,

when we've had somebody go into their third year,

that's typically worked out pretty good.

And I think this kid has grown a ton.

He is a really talented kid that came in with,

his game was so raw, but man, he has come a long way.

He played some really good football for us last year.

And I felt like I'm also the guy that I watched

in spring practice here last month was a totally different player

and his confidence, his awareness level, his mechanics,

where he is physically.

I feel like every part of him, you know,

is poised to take the next step.

And that obviously would be a great thing for our football team

and for our program.

No doubt, one last time.

When you and I spoke last summer,

you told me how much you liked the fit of Caleb Williams

with Ben Johnson and Chicago, and you were absolutely right.

So, after all the years you spent with him in Oklahoma and USC,

when you look at Caleb and you look at the year he had last year,

and the way he broke out,

does it feel to you like this guy could really

very well be the next face of the NFL?

Well, I think it's going to, you know,

he's certainly positioned to do great things.

I mean, there's no doubt about it.

And he's got, you know, a lot of confidence and belief in himself

and in that organization and Ben, you know,

Ben coming in there was the best thing that could happen for Caleb.

I mean, no question about it.

And the organization has done a great job of rallying

and then you see some of the magic and belief

that was created that way.

And, you know, and I know they want to ride that momentum

and keep going further.

And, you know, it's I think provided a lot of,

a lot of, I think just added confidence for Caleb,

especially having, you know, an up and down first year,

like so many of those guys have.

And so I know that whole city and organizations excited.

And I know I told you last year,

I thought that would made a lot of sense.

Watch out for Kyler Murray in Minnesota.

I love, love the pairing of him with Kevin O'Connell.

I think Kevin's fabulous and watch out with those two together.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

Hey Lincoln, there we go.

Now we're talking.

No, it's so finished.

I thought I, I love it myself.

But you know the thought that, well,

he doesn't really play under center.

And that might not be the best fit.

But you got KOC and you got Kyler.

So tell me about that.

Why do you think that makes sense

and why that's going to work so well?

Well, one KOC is a good enough coach.

He's going to, he's going to figure out, you know,

whatever is best to do for the skill sets that he has.

And I know he's really, really excited about Kyler and his skill set.

And how Kyler is equally excited to get into,

get into that type of organization.

You know, a championship level organization from top to bottom

that's that's run the right way.

And I just think, you know,

I look at like the difference in Baker Mayfields,

you know, his career now, you know,

you know, started, you know, obviously in a different place

and ended up now in such a great place in Tampa.

And we just see his career just really in such a great place

and taking off.

And I really believe the same thing is going to happen for Kyler.

I really do.

I just think this is a great fit.

Great skill sets around Kevin's awesome.

That organization's awesome.

And I think Kyler is very ready and eager to play.

I know he's healthy.

He is, he is, that is one hungry guy right now.

I can promise you that.

So I cannot wait to see that pairing of Kyler and Minnesota.

Man, thank you so much for that.

I'm so glad you brought that up.

All right. So one thought Baker.

Baker's one of my all-time favorite players.

I love Baker.

I love Baker.

And if you spend any time, you know, Baker, I'll be bet.

Obviously way better than I ever would.

But even if you spend any time with him,

you just feel this energy.

Like when he walks in the room, you feel an energy, you feel an aura.

And by the way, I don't think he's ever gotten credit for

his football acumen.

Man, how smart of a football player is Baker?

I mean, ridiculously smart.

I mean, top five of anybody I've ever coached.

I mean, I always say he could, we could have a pretty extensive

like game plan install meeting on a Tuesday,

where we're flying through and putting in some new things.

And this and that.

And literally I could ask him like 30 seconds after that.

And he could recall everything, every split, every alignment.

I mean, his recall and ability like process

had taken information is remarkable.

A lot of people made a big deal when he had the game with the Rams

several years ago where they signed him like on a,

what did they sign him on like a Thursday or however it was.

They signed him like two days before the game.

And then he plays and they win the game.

He throws a game when a touchdown pass.

And everybody's like how amazing that was and it was.

But like to me, not very few people could have done that.

But his recall and his mind is so good for the game.

Like he was actually perfect for that moment, which was pretty cool.

The coolest thing ever.

I remember talking to Sean McVey and one of his guys about that,

you know, years after the fact, even they were blown away.

I know you're not.

And they weren't once they spent some time with him.

But if you couple that kind of acumen,

with that just kind of grit and that intensity,

like you said Kyler Murray is all about it right now, man.

He is a really motivated player.

Like Baker's always that guy, right?

He's always motivated like that every single year.

How?

Like has he proven his point already?

But no, not to him, right?

No, I mean, if you know bakery, you know, he's going to create

whatever he's got to do in his mind to get himself to that point,

you know, whether it's kind of creating his enemies or his doubters

or whoever.

I mean, some people that distracts from Baker,

somebody that that feeds him and he's always,

as long as I've known him, he's always been like that.

And so he, he knows himself well enough,

even if something's not there, he's going to create it.

Like he is going to get himself to that mentality.

And I think he's always carried himself like kind of that,

that walk on that guy that wasn't good enough for anybody.

Like he's that edge, you know,

it really to me has never left him.

And I think that's been one of the kind of hallmarks

of his career and why he's had the longevity.

And why he's obviously in such a great situation

like he is in Tampa right now.

He is head football coach of USC.

And as mentioned, they're coming off the top recruiting class

in the nation.

A number of guys to look at for the upcoming NFL draft

and a lot of returning players that keep positions.

Lincoln really good.

Have you on the show?

I appreciate you.

I appreciate that conversation.

Thanks so much.

That that's really good stuff.

I love that he brought up a collar.

I was not going to.

I mean, I actually truthfully.

I didn't even think to.

I'm so glad he brought that up.

So Kyler Murray and him breaking it down

that he thinks that's a great, great, great fit.

And then he will do great with KOC.

All right.

Good stuff.

I am very capable.

Flex Friday.

We love Flex Friday around here.

I got four NBA picks all from the play-in game.

Let's start over with the warrior's sons.

Let's take Steph Curry.

Hey, Jim.

Hey, Steph Curry.

More than four and a half May three pointers.

More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more.

Not playing.

Yeah, we do.

Not playing.

Phoenix has one of the best three-point defenses in the league.

But Steph Curry is big in these big moments.

The 3's will come in bunches when the wars needed the most.

Honestly, the guy has ice in his veins.

That is cold, freezing, ice shield blood in his veins.

Now, it's-

Oh my-

Okay.

to have ice in your veins, Jim, then ice in your living room. Because a big wedge of ice

just crashed through this guy's roof. I don't know if you've seen this, Jim.

I have not. Oh, it's terrible. Did it happen? Did it happen in Whittier?

Yes, boom. This from the LA Times, the chunk of dirty ice crashed through the roof of a Whittier

home. FAA is asked to investigate. So a Whittier resident was napping it out when a big chunk

of dirty ice, Billy Chull, threw the roof and into the guy's living room.

It's sure as hell did, man.

It's terrible. Now, the FAA will tell you dirty ice.

Why has got a lot going on in that living room, though, besides the dirty ice?

I mean, just imagine that thing goes through your ceiling. You're just taking a nap,

daytime. Now, the FAA will tell you dirty ice is just water that freezes on a plane from high altitude.

But we all know what dirty ice really is, right?

It's frozen, discolored, laboratory waste, and disinfectant that leaks from a plane's

drain valve in high altitude. Basically, did you AI that?

Basically, anti-fletcher ice. It just goes through your roof.

Anti-fletcher ice? Ice?

Yeah. So basically, yeah, frozen piss and

extraments just went through this guy's roof. I mean, talk about, I mean, that's

a lot of trouble. Did you just go a frozen piss?

You know what it's like? It's like an airline snow cone.

It's, yeah, multi-colored snow cone, you know, like yellow, black.

It's like an airline snow cone that came through the roof.

Anyway, sorry if I ruined your phone.

No, it's okay. Steph Curry, more than four now.

That's a lot of three pointers, but this is Steph Curry we're talking about.

Over on the other side, on the suns, let's take Jalen Green, more than 17, okay,

we don't need to delete Jalen anymore. Jalen Green, more than 17, field goal attempts.

Putting up a lot of shots here. You know, if we go back, how did Phoenix end up in this game

tonight? It was because we'll actually some would say Jalen Green shot the suns out of the

Portland game. Yo, Jim. No, obviously, I'm looking for Jalen Green, don't mind me.

I don't know if you've noticed or saw it, you know, the Netflix stock Jale Blazers.

Yes, I have. Absolutely. We used to live that on the show.

I know. Yeah, I haven't seen anybody should have sued me. It should have been those guys.

It's on the queue. You know, I can't wait to hear Gary Trent talking about

exactly what I thought. It's exactly what I thought when I saw that.

I can't wait to hear Gary Trent talking about sucking dope out of a Coke can.

Gary, do you think the media is out to get you guys? Oh, yeah. Media, whatever image

that the media gives you is what society will most likely have on you.

Yeah, but if a guy's down on the street and he's getting into trouble, you don't expect the

media not to report it to you. Well, that's just that's part of business though.

Somewhat of that you got to keep your name clean, but you can be scarred by the media.

But, you know, I just try to keep my nose clean and just live a regular life and don't get caught

up in it. Yes, I was going to say, Gary, you have kept your nose clean. I mean, I don't hear any

stories about Gary Trent sucking dope out of a Coke can or anything. Yo, yo, yo, let that ride.

Yo, let that ride. Yo, yeah, yeah. Great moment, man. One of my favorite exchanges ever.

He didn't threaten to sue me. Yo, yo, yo, let that ride, yo, let that ride, yo, let that ride,

yo, and that that was very much in the so-called jail blazer, quote unquote, jail blazer era right

there. Rider. Who's the guard I'm thinking of? Ruben Patterson. I hear a Rashid Wallace comes off

awesome. So yeah, looking forward to watching. I haven't seen it, but how could she come off any

other way, but awesome. She'd actually came to a tour stop once and she is one of those guys that

everybody loves. We all love sheet. You can't get to sheet. You won't come on the shows. He

actually came to our apartment tour stop love sheet. Um, anyway, um, did you say anyway me? I

know. I'm I anywayed myself. Um, okay. So you went, we'll get butt, butt, butt, jail and green

17 and a half feel goals attempted. So yeah, my point is, you know, I get that. Devin Booker,

villain Brooks, jail and green light. It's it's quite a bizarre trio, but Phoenix loves them.

So, uh, when Dremont's not putting the clamps on Devin, look for in the clamp on villain,

and look for green light to lead the sun's bizarre love triangle in shots.

Dude, don't do that. They're going to that's my band. They're going to haul fake. Do not do that.

Yeah, no. Be careful with that. Be careful with that. We know I love new order. No, we're we're big.

I, I, I agree with you on that one for sure. Big, uh, new order house here. Hell yes.

Let's go. 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductinos. We're announced earlier.

Inductinos, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division, New Order, Oasis, Shade, Shade,

Shade, Luther, Vandros, Wu-Tang Clan. Um, yeah, good list. One of them deserve it.

Oh, he's kidding, man. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Tell him he's pissed, lava.

I love new order. I got no problem. The Oasis is going in. I love new order.

So, let's green out with, uh, Jalen green. And that's just two though, right? Do you have a third?

Yeah, I, I actually got four. Good. I've just got so much stuff. Let's look at the clock.

All right. Uh, Hornets Magic, Lamello Ball, more than 31 and a half points.

Mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo, mo.

Oh, man, that is, okay. Uh, the hero and the villain and the Miami game, you know,

Lamello snatching Bam's leg, got all the attention, but, you know, he didn't do all on his own.

He needed Kobe White, uh, to get the game to OT and Miles Bridges,

Bridges! Uh, for that game's healing clock. Joby! Follow me on this. Lamello has a lot of people

his life that helped him out. If it weren't for Tiger Woods, Lamello would be known as the worst

driver ever. And now thanks to Jamira Gibbs, Lamello no longer has the worst tattoo ever. Yeah, so

this is this is a lot, you know, this is Jamira Gibbs. I don't know, dude, so clean. It's it's a lot

you're, you know, you got a lot going on here. Sonic the hedgehog on the neck. Yeah, you got

Gibbs over shoulder like he's still wearing his jersey. Three different versions of himself.

Overward, overcrowded is one word, congested cramped. So Lamello gets off easy.

Is that like 30 different tats or one big tats? It's it's I the football got it. Yeah, that's the

question. Well, that's incredible. So Lamello gets off again. Still, there's no excuse getting

tatted by five guys at the same time. So this is Lamello's tattoo if we have it.

It's it's you know, Lamello find this stuff, Ali. What do you mean? Would I find it? Oh, no,

this is just look when I'm just saying, what do you find this stuff, Ali? All it's all out there.

Good stuff. They they, I don't know, they know my algorithm. I like these. Yeah, exactly. I'm not

a big tattoo guy, but tattoos are like calls to the show. Less is more. And and Lamello, don't

don't try to trip Christophe. You know, you might break him. Do that. He didn't try to trip.

Bam, it was a quote basketball play. That was not a basketball play. That was a dirty play.

Final pick. Let's let's on the other side. Let's take the very disappointing Palo Bencaro more

than six and a half two point vehicles. I hate how that's gone. Yeah, you know, it'd be great.

If Palo, let's get the music back. If Palo had himself a legacy gang, you know, put the magic

on his shoulders, dropped 40, you know, and dominated. The problem is I have eyes and I've seen

Palo, Brickero, Brick 16. Wait, what did you say? Was this field goals made you at six?

Six and a half, two point field goals. Yeah, I got seven half here. Okay. I'll see. They know.

They know that we got to get rid of the three point shot and only shoot like within 10 feet of

the basket. Palo, Brickero has made one of his last 17 jump shots, Jim. He couldn't hit the

Atlantic. He couldn't hit the Atlantic Ocean if he fell out of a boat. And speaking of things that

are salty, Jim, how about Jamal mostly fought four-staring, some smelling salt courtside?

Can't do it. Can't do it. Can't do it. Can't do it. We have to put the cameras on the guy.

Jamal is, dude, damn. Can't the man do salt and peace? You know, Jamal should have shared his

salt with Bankero. He needs to wake up. Wake up. Wow, bro, that was some kind of blast.

So what Jamal needs to do is demand his big guy to just shoot the ball closer. Nothing over 10

feet. Keep your guy in the paint away from the perimeter. That way when Palo doesn't go headhunting

from the three point line and decapitate another fan courtside like this poor fan. This poor fan

who's close to the boy. Yeah, just gets it gets it right in the face. Right. My face.

Donk. Head on a swivel. You know, scrolling right in front. Checking your red box.

Posting a selfie. With my foot. My foot comes at you fast. You know, maybe you don't have your nose

deep in your phone. I'm just saying here, especially when Palo is playing like Westbrick out there.

How about a old Westbrick? Hands. You all right, you're all right. Yeah, what a bit if you caught

that ball. Where were you? You got to look out. I mean, if you're not, I know she wasn't in the

front row, but no one's safe when Palo Westbrook's out there. Westbrick, she wasn't in front row. She's

right there on the floor. Yeah, anywhere anywhere in the vicinity. If Palo can see you, you might get

what you think. If you're on his side of the floor, man, get out of your phone. As long as you're not in

the light, don't be in your phone. If as long as you're not in the basket, Palo won't hit you.

Um, I don't, I don't think I can't believe we're talking about that guy. I like that, but it's fair. It's been a

tough season for the guy. Anyway, okay, that's it. If you're in the basket, Palo won't hit you. You

should be proud of that, Alvi. Thanks, Jim. All right. Thank you, Alvi. I'll see you again in a few

moments. Alvi. All right. I hit all those. Those are four prize picks right there. Alvi, man,

All right, time to have the ATP brought to you by O'Reilly Auto Parts. Take O'Reilly Auto Parts.

Grab your car, care needs, get parts to service you need fast from the professional parts

people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. All right, let's see. Hey Jim, seeing that you are into

the replacements and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Are you into the other punk band? They came out of

Minneapolis around that same time. As the replacements, I'm speaking of Husker do.

Personally, I prefer Husker do. Love that band. Love that band. Great band. I don't like them

better than the replacements, but I love that band. Extremely distinctive sound. Great band.

Love that band. One of the best bands of that era for sure.

It's wrong the same page. Yo, tan man. What's this story with you and your recent THC experience?

Did you get way too baked and have a panic attack? Did you get the super munchies and dominate a

triple triple animal style with a side of animal fries, a regular fries and a shake? Thanks,

San Frisco Mario. We're being able to smoke a blunt to the face and drink a 40 and not get the spins.

All right, so that story. Am I not sure of that story? All right, so really quickly. Part of

that's true. I wouldn't say I had a panic attack, but I did get pretty paranoid. So there is that.

What happens is both of my kids have said to me numerous times you'll pop. Maybe, you know,

you know, my deal. I cocktail on the weekends, not during the week. And I've been trying to

rethink my relationship with alcohol. Honestly. So they've said, by the way, you know,

it's much healthier, cron, but it's natural. It's way better for you than gin or vodka or tequila.

You should do that, pot. I'm like, but I'm not really about that. I'm about the process of making

a cocktail, having a cocktail. I know how to control that. Like I know what I'm getting.

And I come telling you, pop, it's much better for you. You'll feel better. It's healthier. It's

safer. It's just all these things. And so Logan comes home and you know, there's dispensaries

everywhere and he can do it legitimately. So I'm like, all right, I'll give it a shot. I'll give

it a shot. So logs makes a purchase and we get it. And I'm in the bag. And I have no idea what it is.

Like my last experience actually with cron was probably Santa Barbara. Like I'm not about

the engineered cron. Like I have no idea what it's about these days. I have no idea how much

stronger it is these days. I have no idea what I'm getting into. I mean, in Santa Barbara,

I'd be in a bag with seeds and crappy cron. I have no idea what this engineered cron is like.

So I get into the other night. It's still there. I've just been sitting in my drawer.

So I break out of blunt and I fire it up, hit it a few times, just a few times, put it out,

leave it alone. I'm like, holy crap. Now I'm paranoid about everything. I've got a Zoom call

the next morning. I'm like, that's going to go to hell. I've got something going on later

the next day. I'm like, I've got no shot at that. Like I'm tripping. So I hit Jacob. I'm like,

Jake, dude, the hell did the kid give me? He's like, yo, pop. That stuff that Logan got you.

That is the ever clear of cron. Like I don't know the brand at all. He's like, what he got you is

the ever clear of cron. He's like, pop. That's crack. That's crack. What you smoked. I'm like,

good looking out, son. He's like, the next time you want to do this, dad, you know, we'll do it

the right way. There are lower potency ways to do this. I'm like, what's the kid doing giving me

the ever clear of cron? What is the? And by the way, if he gave it to his old man, what is that

kid talking on? If he thought that was cool for me. Anyway, that was my THC experience. And I wouldn't

say there was a panic attack, but there was a lot of paranoia. And I will not be going back

there again any time soon. How to try? How to try the experience was not good. So Mario,

that's what happened. But no, I did get into some munchies, but I did not get in the car,

and did not drive, and did not go to internet. Alvi, are you ready? Go ahead, hit it.

Welcome to Jungle, a very good Monday to you. My name is Jim Rawl. I'm live in Southern California.

What's going on? How are we doing? How are we living? Welcome to this show. Nice to have you here.

Let me tell you about it. Hope you had a great weekend. Worry is a rare repeat winner at a custom.

I understand why there's so much hate for this guy right now. I mean, what?

This feels like my home course. I haven't played anywhere else in a while.

If you're a reaction to that, start crying like Marvin Freeman about cheating,

let's take that someplace else. I don't want to hear it. Any player in the field can do it.

Give me back my son. What is it?

parody Larry with the give me back my son. Give me back my son. Give me back my son.

Give me back my son. I mean, it seems like a younger, more aggressive Larry.

Give me back my son. Close.

You guys are going to have to sit on the first round.

Let me get a chance to go look at it, man. I know you're not that dumb.

So is that just some really lame attempt at humor? How do you know this?

How do you not know this? Michael Wilson joining us.

Marvin's right physically. Where does he rank?

The best.

He's purely speaking about metrics in terms of size, speed, quickness, catching ability.

Like he's for sure the most talented receiver I've ever been around.

Went to a toilet last night. A lot of times.

And how hyped were you be when you saw that live in the toilet?

He's Brian Winhorse. How's it going, Jim? Good to talk to you.

What does that mean to you, honest? What does his future look like?

You're asking an A or B question and I ain't got the A or B. I think it's it's C.

I am well aware of your favorite topic of the day.

It's like, oh great, my show just plummeted 22 feet into a well.

And now we're going to bring in a bunch of people to try and dig it out.

Hey Rob.

Davos Swini.

How you handled the success?

How you handled the failure?

If you think about that, well-managed failure is the number one reason for success.

You see any successful person in life?

Well that's somebody who's managed the failure.

Waiting, where's the game?

Is it my TV?

Is it me?

Where's the game?

Oh, oh, technical difficulties.

What is this 1956?

Attention to grab his leg.

Like I said, I got hit in the head.

That'd be like trying to tell us.

I was just driving my car.

When you swirved onto the wrong side of the road and you hit somebody head on.

Because you just got hit in the head.

Or maybe it's for that pill.

You know that pill that people take before they wrestle with someone who's attained the

hip?

Yes, it happened on my show.

I never ever thought much less uttered the phrase, attained the hip.

Dan Lanning joining us.

365 day calendars are already mapped out, but it's being intentional at that time, right?

You've got these long-term goals that you're really trying to accomplish.

That's a telescope.

You can glance at it.

That's where we're headed.

But today's about the microscope.

Let's focus on today.

Bring Steel to the Bowl.

Bring Steel to the Bowl.

Tramon just picked that dude's pocket like Logan Rome in Colombia.

Five seconds after his boots hit the ground and somebody snatched his eye for joint right

now by David Adelman.

This is an honor for me.

I grew up listening to your show first, watching your show, and my father was a part of that

way back when I delivered car parts for a whole summer and your show was my whole life.

Just so you understand, this is a very cool thing for me to do.

You know, some of you tune in only for the beef segment.

It's turned a salad and an order of wings into $72.

Burger, Coke and fries.

It's not the guy's 60 bucks.

They're like, hey, dude, I need a soda on the way home.

I need a drink and bring me a drink.

And I'm like, oh my god, I'm already stressed out.

Time for state or be more Pacific.

And my favorite is Gary Garland.

Kevin, write it on a note pass.

I mean, it's easy.

I'm no wonder nobody's tipping it down, man.

Why can't someone pay him to do a diabetes commercial instead?

For Myers now, Walter.

Hey, Rome.

It's Walt previously from Miami Beach.

Landers in Birmingham.

Landers, which I am in Birmingham right now, brother.

Real quick.

They come out 10 meters later.

I'm in a hurry.

And they come out with a bag of snacks.

They don't even get gas.

You ain't.

I'm talking about Garrett Nussmire.

He means the world to me and it's been great here.

That's something where you just said that you moved 12 times.

We moved once.

My man, I'm still jacked up and I'm 61.

I am.

That'll happen.

Just did.

Roaming the boycott was an act of extreme

buffoonery on my part.

And I'm sorry.

Ah.

In the 13-year-longer body,

if I will represent you for free if that idiot suits you,

I would say that I blame Tray Young.

Dave Thompson joining us the best time of the year.

All the games are, you know, that much more intense

than your plan for something meaningful.

And yeah, I think that's what gets everyone fired up.

Okay, I appreciate you to be waiting.

Watch out for Carlo Murray.

Yes, sir.

Let's do it.

Thanks for having me on the show.

It's just a terrible question.

Next question.

Great to be here.

I always appreciate you.

A clone since 1995.

All right, my friend, onward and upward.

You bet, Jim.

Thank you.

Appreciate you having me.

God bless you.

Show up and compete.

Three hits.

23 giveaways.

I appreciate it.

Shut up, show your angles.

He watches your show every single day

for the last 30 years.

It was well worth the wait.

If you sucked, you sucked.

And you have to tell them that.

Good night now.

Alvie, that will not be taken out back.

That works.

I don't need a faulty to agree with me.

That always works.

The week to was.

Alvie, getting it done.

Hey, see what else?

Any extra ATPs?

Jimmathy, can you start the diarrhea family?

We can put that dump higher,

Andy Fletch turd,

Chenho Fart.

Darren Diorizi is our core members.

Thanks, VNFee.

No, Vee, we're not starting any more families.

No rat family.

No piece of crap family.

Certainly no diarrhea family.

No.

Hey, Alan, do you have a diarrhea alarm

that we can sound when somebody gets a visit

from the great equalizer?

All of the fat alarm.

No, I think we'll know.

I think we'll know ahead of time before it happens.

Well enough notice.

Really?

This is really how I'm going to spend my time here.

Let's see here, Lebanese Romeo.

It's a complete Cromio.

There's been some talk about Malibu

and the PCH this week.

In all the years of the jungle,

has that have the fake gym room on the hog

or his two babes ever contacted you

or identified themselves?

I contact myself.

What do you mean?

Hey, what are you trying to say?

Are you trying to say that's not me?

Are you saying that's not me?

Are you saying that that's not me?

I'm not going to dignify that with a response.

That's another lawyer apparently.

Anthony Basel Esquire.

All right, anyway,

it's been a very litigious day.

So now we're done with this part of the program.

No, I'm done.

Lots of lawyer in going on this show.

All right, my thanks to my personal attorney,

Miles and Charleston.

And the XR4TI and our guests,

we had Lincoln Riley.

We had Tage Thompson.

We're not done yet.

We've got the after hour coming up.

Adam Rank will be joining me.

Lots to cover in the Friday after hour.

Make sure you get to Roku, Amazon Prime,

Plex, LG, TCL Direct TV, Vizio,

Samsung TV Plus.

You can't call but you.
