(04:30) - Highlights from last weekend’s Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement. Golic says he teared up listening to this year’s class talk about their journeys and the support system that helped make them Hall of Famers.

(24:40) “College Football is going to be fine” Golic explains how conference realignment negatively affects student-athletes who aren’t on the football team.

Show notes

Issa Friday. LFG. Gojo and his Dad, Mike Golic Sr, feel great after a night of football, stories, and Aaron Rodger anecdotes during the NFL’s Preseason Hall of Fame Game. The guys touch on some of their favorite moments from the broadcast where the Jets faced off against the Browns. (02:10) Moments like Zach Thomas’ tears and a fictional world where Gojo made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. And then…

(05:41) - 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee DeMarcus Ware surprised the masses by singing the National Anthem before kickoff. Gojo is shocked that he even has to defend Ware’s performance calling his vocal performance the top moment of the evening. (08:25) Golic gives the soon-to-be Hall of Famer a low B but bumps the grade after hearing Ware talk about why he decided to sing in front of the world.

(12:05) - Gojo and Golic talk about the young players that stuck out to them during the HoF Game! Gojo says Kellen Mond should be looking over his shoulder after Dorian Thompson-Robinson earned himself some more reps at practice after an impressive 4th Quarter performance. Golic points out that DTR was playing against lower competition but gives him credit for how comfortable he looked. Then the guys talk about the New York Jets and how Aaron Rodgers needs Mekhi Becton and that offensive line to improve this season.

(19:43) - Gojo introduces the Tungsten Arm O’Doyle Stat of the day brought to you by another Shohei Ohtani feat muted by another Angels loss.

(22:48) - The Golics take a deeper look into the PAC-12 meeting to sign a Grant of Rights for a streaming deal that has PAC-12 universities announcing their departure from the conference.

(27:50) - Sticking with college football, ESPN writer Bill Connelly wrote his annual “Ifs List” mapping out potential championship matchups which led Gojo to consider USC’s title chances with a Heisman trophy winner at QB. The guys also discuss Alabama’s potential QB issues and Nick Saban’s era of terror coming to an end.

(35:28) - VSIN’s Matt Youmans did a fast food Top 50 Power Rankings for 2023. It’s beautiful, and his Top 5 Fast Food spots sparked a debate about Gojo and Golic’s favorite fast food places. Fast food chicken fingers, tacos, and cheeseburgers are all covered. Honestly, not enough fry talk.

(41:30) - This, That, and the Third: Diana Taurasi becomes the WNBA’s first 10,000-point player, Titans RT Jamarco Jones gets cut after fighting in camp, and a Somali runner placing dead last in the 100M gets someone suspended for nepotism.

Wilder Wednesdays — Charlotte on Nathaniel Hackett addressing Sean Payton in metaphors, Carli Lloyd’s USWNT criticism, poor PAC-12 & Iowa St Gambling Accusations Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

HAPPY HUMP DAY! Gojo, Golic, and Charlotte start today off with…

(02:20) - What Gojo is hoping is the last installment of the Sean Payton, Nathaniel Hackett saga after hearing the Jets OC responds to the Broncos head coach using the infamous ‘glass house’ metaphor. Charlotte says she loves the prolonged drama and coach speak while Golic thinks Hackett was right saying Payton “broke code” slandering him publicly but was surprised Hackett said as much as he did. Gojo says Nathaniel Hackett went to make sure Sean Payton feels as bad as he should for criticizing him.

(12:54) - After Former USWNT star Carli Lloyd doubles down on her criticism of the current USWNT, Charlotte tells us how she feels about the National Team’s World Cup struggles: “It’s too early to say this team’s not passionate or not trying.” Ms. Wilder says she wasn’t a fan of Carli Lloyd making the current USWNT team’s lack of success about her. (18:30) After hearing Golic speak on talking heads wanting to see athletes sad after bad performances, Gojo reminds us that the US didn’t lose and do have something to celebrate.

(20:30) - Gojo, Charlotte, and Golic react to reports that the PAC-12 has reached a TV streaming deal with Apple that would require a subscription-based revenue model. “This conference is done being a Power 5.” Golic uses grade school door-to-door magazine subscription drives as an analogy to describe how bad this deal would be for the conference. (26:20) Charlotte reminds us that the name of the game is exposure for CFB and streaming services may not deliver enough eyes to the PAC-12.

(33:00) - The gang shares their thoughts on Iowa State’s gambling accusations that suggest their starting QB, Hunter Dekkers, has been gambling on his team consistently. With so little money being placed on each bet, Gojo and Golic are confused at the decision-making of not only the QB who’s putting his eligibility in jeopardy but also his parents for allegedly helping.

(41:15) - This, That, and the Third: Justin Verlander traded back to the Astros as the Mets implode, a debate over how many five-year-olds it’d take to tackle Derrick Henry and Gwyneth Paltrow’s Guesthouse on AirBnB sparks the question: which celebrity’s guesthouse would you want to spend one night in?

Show notes

Gojo and his Dad, Mike Golic Sr, are back from The Joel Cornette Foundation Charity Golf Outing in Cincinnati, Ohio (01:50) where Gojo was on a team with a former collegiate golfer and still didn’t place in the scramble. After chatting about the humbling experience of 'athleting' with superior athletes, the Golics recap…

(05:55) - USWNT surviving Group Play after tying with Portugal early this morning. Gojo admits he slept through this World Cup match, but Golic witnessed US chances to advance saved by a pole early in stoppage time: “Portugal was the better team on the pitch … they have not looked like the number one team in the world.”

(12:01) - Gojo and Golic respond to the comments from Aaron Rodgers as he defends his friend and coach Nathaniel Hackett after Sean Payton slandered him late last week. Gojo says “Rodgers got it right here” from a leadership standpoint, especially starting over with a new franchise. Although Hackett is scheduled to speak later today, Golic said we should expect him to add fuel to this fire. (16:30) Gojo explains the amount of pressure Nathaniel Hackett is under: “The blame will end up on him, not Rodgers if things go south in New York.”

(19:39) - The guys react to reports that Colts running back Johnathan Taylor met with owner Jim Irsay requesting a from Indianapolis. To which the infamous Colts owner said: “no” and then was quoted saying things that Golic says: “You shouldn’t say out loud.” With rookie QB Anthony Richardson expected to play, Gojo mentions that this is a bad year for Irsay to alienate his running back going into the season. (27:00) Both Gojo and Golic agree that Jim Irsay’s “no one’s going to miss us” comments were right, but Irsay insulted Taylor.

(33:53) - Gojo asks his Dad, is this the end of the PAC-12?

(40:29) - This, That, and the Third: Notre Dame resigns with Under Armour, Damar Hamlin has his first full padded practice, and Coin Boys live and die by the coin.

Show notes

HAPPY FRI-YAY! Gojo and his Dad, Mike Golic Sr, are concerned for Cincinnati Bengals fans today after …

(00:40) - Joe Burrow suffered a non-contact calf strain during practice on Thursday and was carted off the field. Golic says injuries are unavoidable in football, it’s just a question of how bad it is. The 9-year NFL vet talks about the year he and his Philadelphia Eagles thought they were Super Bowl bound until their starting QB, Randall Cunningham blew out his knee in Week 1.

(03:09) - The Miami Dolphins take a big blow on the injury front after DB Jalen Ramsey suffered a knee injury that requires surgery that could keep him out 6-8 weeks. As much as that sucks for Miami, Gojo mentions Cincinnati fans should be more concerned because it hits differently when a franchise QB is injured. (06:40) Golic remembers the first year of free agency in the NFL when his season with the Dolphins was ruined after future HoFer Dan Marino went down: “We went from the best record in football to missing the playoffs.” The Golics wrap on Joe Burrow talking about the long-lasting impact of soft tissue injuries.

(12:05) - Gojo and Golic react to Sean Payton ripping Nathaniel Hackett and the former Broncos staff for how they handled Russell Wilson’s first year in Denver. Golic says he “HATES this stuff!” He goes on to say there must be a reason behind Sean Payton slandering a fellow member of the NFL coach fraternity. (16:09) Gojo on the other hand says genuine, public beef between NFL coaches is hard to find so he is enjoying every second of it.

(19:42) - In that same Sean Payton interview, the Broncos Head Coach takes jabs at the New York Jets and how they’ve promoted Aaron Rodgers’ arrival. With Hackett now serving as the current OC for the Jets, Gojo hopes to see this storyline make an appearance on this season of Hard Knocks. (22:30) Golic explains why bulletin board material doesn’t mean a damn thing after kickoff in Week 5 when the Jets face off against the Broncos.

(28:20) - The Golics respond to allegations out of Minnesota calling Head Coach PJ Fleck a “cult leader.” Gojo says everything he’s read from this report feels like 90% of college football programs. Golic thinks this is a result of a football program mirroring the personality of their head coach.

(40:16) - This, That, and the Third: Shohei Ohtani pitches a shutout then hits two home runs in a doubleheader, Joey Votto has a beautiful rant aimed at Mad Dog, and Golic Sr picks 3 of his most prized possessions.

(20:00) - 2x Super Bowl Champion and Former Notre Dame great Justin Tuck joins the show with Stugotz for a God Bless Football LIVE show. Stugotz talks about why he became a Jets fan and asks Justin Tuck if he and other Long Island natives can have their moment in the sun now that their franchise has a real QB. (22:00) Justin Tuck talks about the in-city rivalry between his New York Giants and the New York Jets before speaking on his hate for the Cowboys: “I don’t like people from Dallas.” (28:10) Tuck talks about why he’s thankful Isaiah Foskey broke his sack record at Notre Dame and (34:40) Stugotz plays a game of “Tuck Yeah or Tuck No” where Justin touches on peeing in pools, slapping the play like a champion sign, and whose the better QB: Peyton or Eli.

(02:20) - Our good friend Charlotte Wilder introduces her new daily basketball show ‘Oddball’ with Amin Elhassan on DraftKings Network.

(07:20) - Charlotte explains why she’s trepidatious about the Celtics signing Jaylen Brown to a 5-yr extension worth up to $303.7M but feels inspired that Boston is attempting to let Brown and Tatum lead them to a championship. (12:02) Gojo talks about how championships have spoiled Boston fans.

(13:45) - After another amazing showing for Messi, Gojo asks Charlotte if the Argentine striker can sustain this level of play for Inter Miami. “He is the savior,” Charlotte says Messi changes every environment he finds himself in before Gojo slanders Miami in the nicest way possible.

(19:39) - Gojo is sad for running backs as players at other positions see huge paydays around the NFL.

(00:30) - Saquon Barkley agrees to the New York Giants' terms for a one-year deal worth up to $11 million. Gojo talks about how the contract is not a win for the Giants’ RB or other NFL running backs: “The world is not going to get better for Saquon on the other side of this.” Golic explains why he’s surprised by the Saquon signing: “he gets $11M, but this is a win for the New York Giants.” (08:35) Gojo talks about how this deal impacts Josh Jacobs and what the Raiders do with their star running back.

(09:04) - “How did you like 'Barbie' the movie?” Gojo and Golic review Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in “Barbie,” the biggest box office film of 2023.
