Nathan Adrian Aug 12, 2020

In 2019, three-time Olympian swimmer Nathan Adrian was diagnosed and treated for testicular cancer - setting him up for a difficult road to recovery in time for Tokyo 2020, hopefully to be his fourth Olympic Games. Then the global pandemic rescheduled all of 2020. The five-time Olympic gold medalist talks about how the postponement may have helped him, the difficult task of finding Olympic-sized pools in a global crisis, and how his public health degree keeps him up at night these days. Jensen and Nathan also come up with things to balance on his head while swimming, in hopes of leaving that warlock Katie Ledecky in his viral wake.

Now, as the long-time, and healthy, San Antonio Spurs broadcast analyst, Sean talks about his heightened health concerns during the pandemic, the difficulties with announcing NBA games from home, and his terrifying experiences with racism growing up and playing in Arizona.

Aric Almirola Jul 29, 2020

While the return of most sports leagues remains shaky at best, NASCAR has returned at full speed. Leading the way is driver Aric Almirola who found himself on a hot streak - whether as the only driver that has finished in the top 10 at every race since the stopdown or by crossing the finish line in third place at Geico 500… backwards. The driver of the No. 10 Smithfield Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing shares how he’s turned this strange season into the best of his career, why he sent a text to Bubba Wallace, and why he’s ready to capture the W at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend. There’s also a delicious moment that will have you lining up at the polls for bacon. This episode proudly supports The Almirola Family Fund, to positively impact children and families being treated at Atrium Health’s Levine Children’s Hospital in North Carolina.

Kelley O'Hara / Sergio Mora Jul 22, 2020

The first sports league in the United States to return to “normalcy” was the NWSL – no small feat accomplished without the brave women who first experienced it like Utah Royals FC star Kelley O’Hara. The two-time FIFA World Cup champion talks about the “summer camp” vibe of the Challenge Cup, the social landscape of America, and if the internet trolls she’s dealt with in her life and career still allow her to think this world can be saved. They also get into why there’s really no good soccer movies (seriously, Hollywood, what gives!). Then, Jensen talks to former WBC super welterweight champion and current DAZN boxing analyst, Sergio Mora, about entering the bubble to cover the fight between Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Samuel Vargas this week and why legends like Mike Tyson should stay retired.

Kenny Smith Jul 15, 2020

Kenny "The Jet" Smith went from playing alongside Michael Jordan on a North Carolina NCAA team to ten seasons in the NBA where he helped lead the Houston Rockets to back-to-back championships.

With the NBA Bubble ramping up, Kenny joins Jensen to talk about the Woj email, LeBron's decision to keep his name on his jersey and Kenny's upcoming virtual basketball camp, The Jet Academy (jetacademycamp.com).

Sebastian Lletget / Excalibur Jul 10, 2020

It’s official, the MLS is Back…in a bubble. For stars like midfielder Sebastian Lletget of the powerhouse LA Galaxy, the results of this tournament mean more than just a win, draw, or loss… it’s an attempt at playing for normalcy. In this episode, Jensen talks to Sebastian about the latest in the MLS quarantined version of “the happiest place on earth,” the racism he’s seen in the sport while playing for West Ham United, and whether anyone has heard from Zlatan Ibrahimović since he left LA. They also play a game to test just how well he knows his girlfriend Becky G.’s music - it’s a contest that will really make or break her new song, “My Man.” Plus, in another installment of FANDEMIC, Jensen talks to his friend, former wrestler and AEW announcer Excalibur, to see how the virus and recent outings of wrestling’s sexual abusers has affected his experience at work.

Bradley Wright-Phillips Jul 08, 2020

To be an elite striker, you have to be fearless. As the fastest player in Major League Soccer history to reach 100 goals, Bradley Wright-Phillips has shown he’s as fearless as they come. But the current world we’re living in even has him worried. In an open and raw conversation, recorded just before the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando, the two-time Golden Boot winner reveals his deep concerns about the “tough ask” to leave his family behind, the long-standing racism in soccer, and whether activism has become a “trend.” Bradley also shares how leaving the New York Red Bulls and being written off after an injury has him energized and excited to prove himself with his new club, LAFC.

Andrew McCutchen Jul 06, 2020

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen is not only one of baseball’s best all-around players, he’s also a fun guy off the field, which can’t be said about everyone in the league. The 2015 NL MVP and five-time All-Star talks to Jensen about his hilarious quarantine alter-ego “Uncle Larry,” how that epic Topps trading card came to be, and his recent viral “Fresh Prince” moment in an empty Philly rental. They also chat about Andrew’s return from injury, the game’s need for black community outreach, and how - or if - MLB locker rooms can actually adapt to today’s Black Lives Matter movement.

Jerry Stackhouse Jul 01, 2020

The name Jerry Stackhouse is synonymous with basketball. One of the greatest players to ever wear the North Carolina Tar Heels jersey, he went on to play 18 seasons in the NBA - yes, 18! With a resume that’s parallel to none, it's easy to see why he was recently chosen to be the head coach of the Vanderbilt Men’s Basketball team. Coach Stackhouse talks to Jensen about leading an impressive young roster during these challenging times and what recruiting is like in a socially distanced world. They also talk about the possible racial bias he saw against teammate Allen Iverson, the difference between LeBron James and Michael Jordan’s leadership approach, and why the De La Soul music video for “Stakes Is High” was the real sign he “made it”.

As soon as we’re allowed to give hugs again, it’s hard to imagine not having WWE Superstar Big E at the top of your list. The teddy bear masquerading as the current WWE SmackDown! Tag Team Champion has proven himself in the ring for years now, but it’s his ability to see the larger picture that will make you a fan for life. Big E talks to Jensen about the racial divide dominating our culture, the history of the black performer in wrestling, and what the industry is facing in the form of sexual assault and harassment outed online by the #SpeakingOut movement. They also talk about The New Day: Feel The Power podcast, why Big E doesn’t miss an opportunity to speak the truth and whether The Undertaker’s retirement is like, for real for real.

Keone Kela / Taran Killam Jun 22, 2020

Coming off an impressive season in 2019, pitcher Keone Kela had even bigger plans for this season - set on proving he’s the Pittsburgh Pirates opening day closer while exhibiting his personal growth on, and off, the mound. Now, with the MLB season in limbo, Keone has all the time in the world to continue to mature… and reflect on how he was probably sick with the Coronavirus during Spring Training.

Brehanna Daniels / Megan Gailey Jun 19, 2020

Sports have always been about breaking records and the athletes who make history. As a black woman on a NASCAR pit crew, everything Brehanna Daniels does smashes through a glass ceiling and sets a record - and she’s proud to be doing it. The NASCAR tire changer talks about the groundbreaking changes in her sport and how, seemingly overnight, she went from being a college basketball player to a rising star in the revolutionary Drive for Diversity program. Brehanna shares her experience with racism growing up in the South, how it felt to see Confederate flags at events, and why that idiot who took his truck and went home - can stay home. Then, Jensen catches up with comedian friend and co-host of “The Greatest” podcast, Megan Gailey, about the health of returning players and her hard to hide enthusiasm for Peyton Manning.

Molly Solomon / Luka Jones Jun 17, 2020

Since 1896, the modern Olympics have only been canceled four times - thanks to World War and now the COVID-19 pandemic. And Molly Solomon, the executive producer and president of NBC Olympics and the Golf Channel, now has the difficult task of overseeing the world’s biggest competition’s broadcast move from 2020 to 2021. Add in the fact that she’s raising 16 year-old triplets in a pandemic and you can’t help but feel like Solomon should just get all the gold medals NOW. Molly talks with Jensen about all the changes happening with moving the Olympics, what it means for the athletes competing, and how the PGA is returning with safety protocols (but minus heckling).

Zach Plesac / Michael Jacobs Jun 15, 2020

Last year, starting pitcher Zach Plesac had one of the most impressive debuts in Cleveland Indians history, taking the mound in a rainy Fenway Park against David Price. Now, instead of following up that fairytale start in what was to be his impressive rookie season, he’s moving from city to city as a young contract signee without his own house yet. Zach talks to Jensen about the eerie drive across the country during a pandemic, why he’s already got the best pickoff move in the majors, and how his incredible first game was made even more memorable thanks to a letter from David Price. Then, Jensen chats with director Michael Jacobs about his new Quibi docu-series, BLACKBALLED, following the controversy over former Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

Jordan Yamamoto / Adam Ferrone Jun 12, 2020

Maybe it’s just the Hawaiian way, but nothing really rattles Jordan Yamamoto. Need proof? How about starting his major league career last season by setting a Miami Marlins franchise record of 14 scoreless innings over two starts. Oh, and a rotation best WHIP of 1.144 and 82 strikeouts in under 79 innings to finish the season. Now, that’s Aloha. The Marlins pitcher talks to Jensen about how he maintains a positive mindset during slumps, his growing relationship with Marlins CEO Derek Jeter and why in the end, Christian Yelich won’t be the only name you remember from that trade. They also talk about Jordan’s skills with a shaver, a Rubik’s Cube and just about anything else you throw his way. Then, Jensen chats with Barstool Sports’ funnyman and battle rap champion, Adam “Rone” Ferrone about making sports content in a pandemic and breaking down the drama over at “Call Me Daddy”.

The Minnesota Lynx forward talks about recovering from a season-ending injury and participating in recent Minneapolis protests against police brutality. Karima also discusses the uncertainties of when, and if, the WNBA season will happen, why it's important for athletes to use their platform to address social issues, her definition of an ally, and how she’s prepared for life after sports.

Michael Bennett Jun 05, 2020

Michael Bennett may be soft-spoken, but make no mistake about it, his voice is powerful. As an NFL defensive end for 11 seasons and a Super Bowl Champion, there’s no question Michael’s a force to be reckoned with on the field, but that all seems secondary to who Michael really is - a man leading hard conversations against racial inequality, police brutality, and toxic masculinity in the NFL. Michael joins Jensen to talk about growing up scared of the police, what the murder of George Floyd means as a black man in America, and Michael’s own terrifying experience with police brutality in 2017. Michael shares why he is optimistic that the current demonstrations and protests led by young people will bring about real change and why he and his wife, Pele, talk about social issues and injustice with their daughters and on their podcast, “Mouthpeace with Michael & Pele Bennett”.

It’s time America finally catches up to Craig Hodges. And now, more than ever, is the time to listen. The NBA legend and political activist shares his experience of growing up in the civil rights movement and protesting the tragic death of his friend due to police brutality during their time at Long Beach State. He looks back on the progressive ideas he suggested during his two championship seasons with the Chicago Bulls alongside Michael Jordan, that were labeled as “militant,” and the White House visit that reportedly led to being blackballed from the NBA.

Adam Ottavino May 27, 2020

The Ottavino family has their fingerprints all over New York City...literally. They helped build the landmarks we all know as NYC from the ground up. So, after setting franchise records as the closer for the Colorado Rockies, when Adam Ottavino signed a three year deal with the Yankees in 2019, it wasn’t just a matter of playing for the team he grew up watching, it was about coming home to where he belongs. The pitcher talks about how his former "batcave" in Harlem prepared him for quarantine workouts, how he and newest Yankees ace Gerrit Cole are becoming fast friends, and what it felt like the first time he put on the pinstripes. Adam and Jensen also open up about their shared struggles with mental health and the helpful exercises Adam has practiced over his MLB career.

Tony Hawk May 26, 2020

For the past four decades, the sport of skateboarding has been synonymous with the name Tony Hawk. Plain and simple, Hawk = GOAT. Sorry, how many other riders do you know who can fly through the air on a skateboard and do a 900 - at 48 years old? We’ll save you the time - there aren’t any.

J.A. Adande / Rhea Butcher May 22, 2020

Many odd things have happened during the pandemic, but in the sports world nothing seems as strange as our nation becoming enthralled with 20 year old Michael Jordan highlights. The collective nation tuned into The Last Dance on ESPN, even knowing exactly how it ends. J.A. Adande, the beloved sportswriter and Director of Sports Journalism at Northwestern University, talks to Jensen about being featured in the docuseries and how he’s currently helping a new generation of sportswriters navigate in a world where arenas, locker rooms and sports in general are off-limits.

The Senior Peloton instructor talks about having to evacuate her apartment in New York City amidst the pandemic and the ever-growing number of people virtually and physically relying on her during this time (including Ellen... yes, that Ellen).

Consider this a big "wakeup call" for what the sports landscape is gonna be like in our new "normal.” Plus, Jensen lures Brian back to his Oregon, hipper tie-dye roots and the two question how much Chuck Norris and Brett Favre's time is really worth.

Justin and Kourtney Turner May 19, 2020

January 22nd is known in Los Angeles as “Justin Turner Day” in recognition of the incredible impact the Dodgers All-Star third baseman Justin Turner, and his wife Kourtney, have made in the community. When you realize everything the Turners do to give back to the city, one day doesn’t seem like enough appreciation - so we’re giving them an extra 40 minutes. In this special episode, Justin and Kourtney join Jensen and wife Danielle Fishel to talk about being married during a pandemic, having to watch their “Quaran-tone” with one another, and how there’s not enough ranch dressing in the world that can fill the sad hole left behind by Souplantation. Then, they share their personal connections to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and their continued support through this tough time. Justin also ponders if fellow Cal-State Fullerton alum Danielle is a Dodgers good luck charm and gives his thoughts on if this COVID break will make things easier for the Astros.

Jarret Stoll May 18, 2020

As a hockey player, the only feeling better than hoisting the Stanley Cup Trophy above your head is scoring a legendary OT goal to make sure it happens. Oh, and the feeling of peeing in your own man cave urinal is pretty great too. Former LA Kings centre, Jarret Stoll - now a development coach for the team - is eager to help today’s Kings, and their future superstars, have the experience of bringing the title back to LA… especially in these uncertain times. Jarret shares with Jensen what it’s like rewatching Game 5 of the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals, how players are rollerblading during quarantine, and why the idea of a Hockey fight without fans is really weird. Jarret also talks to Jensen about that MTV Cribs episode and why he and his wife, sportscaster Erin Andrews, miss going to Disneyland so much. This episode and series supports FeedingAmerica.org.

"Ronnie 2K" Singh / Dr. Myron Rolle May 15, 2020

When the NBA season came to a grinding halt on March 11th, it felt like we were all living in a strange simulated world, which isn’t anything new for “Ronnie 2K” Singh, the digital marketing director at 2K Sports. In this episode Ronnie2k talks about taking over the NBA spotlight with the current season in limbo, why the NBA 2K20 players-only tournament featured some huge upsets including Devin Booker’s win, and how broadcasting the tournament on ESPN from his bedroom was a dream come true. Plus, Ronnie reveals a few new features to come and Jensen tries to sell Ronnie on some storylines for 2K21… and it didn’t go well. Then, Jensen checks in with former NFL safety, Rhodes scholar, and current neurosurgery resident, Dr. Myron Rolle.

Greg Jennings May 14, 2020

After playing 10 seasons in the NFL and winning a Super Bowl, Greg Jennings has proven he knows how to avoid any obstacles in his way. But nothing prepared him for having to tackle homeschooling his four kids during a pandemic. The current analyst for FOX Sports talks to Jensen about throwing a quarantine birthday party for his daughter, staying in shape for his first upcoming bodybuilding competition, and why his broken drone is really bumming him out. They also discuss making amends with Packers fans, teaching his son why you don’t mess with Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl, the Kalamazoo Promise, and the 10th anniversary of the forever glorious, Greg Jennings “broken leg” Madden meme.

David Dahl May 13, 2020

This year was really shaping up to be big for Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl. Coming off an All-Star season, David was eager to make even more noise in 2020. Instead, he’s trying to keep it down at home so as not to annoy his sports marketing superstar wife, Jacquelyn. David talks about quarantine batting practice, how he’s been rocking a pretty nice tan & a mini-Charlie Blackmon beard, all while editing his own career highlights (and lowlights) on social media. David also shares his pandemic struggles as someone who had his spleen removed during his time in the minors. The two then get into why his less-than-stellar MLB The Show Players League experience led to retirement from the game… for now. This episode and series supports FeedingAmerica.org.

Sugar Ray Leonard May 11, 2020

If anyone has the power to motivate us through this tough fight, it’s the legendary Sugar Ray Leonard. The boxing icon shares tips with Jensen on how to stay healthy and active under quarantine, and why having a teenager in the house with you is never easy, even if you are the Champ. The two then talk about the challenge of boxing in an empty arena, why the young phenom fighter Ryan Garcia is such a beast and how in no reality - video game simulated or not - is it okay to think Winky Wright would beat the champ.

Levi Wallace / CJ Toledano May 08, 2020

Cornerback Levi Wallace may be an integral part of a Buffalo Bills team on the field, but off the field - he’s strong enough to take on anything by himself. Levi becomes our first guest to reveal he’s been completely alone since day 1 of quarantine... and is totally fine with it. He’s also the first to have shared his phone number on Instagram - in an attempt to make sure that #BillsMafia and others know that we’re all in this together. Levi also talks about his training following last season’s injury, diving deep into the Star Wars universe, and debates with Jensen over who has the best sandwiches in Tucson. Plus, in the latest installment of FANDEMIC, Jensen gets into Jordan, Pippen, and “The Last Dance” phenomenon with CJ Toledano of Bleacher Report's House of Highlights and the co-host of iHeartRadio's sports podcast, The Greatest.

Jon Duplantier / Adam & Cole Pally May 04, 2020

In 2019, Jon Duplantier made 15 appearances as a pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, recording his first major league win and setting himself up for a breakout 2020 season. And then… well, you know the rest. The Diamondbacks pitcher talks being back at home in Houston surrounded by his childhood trophies, getting a desperately needed haircut from his Dad, and how his family is getting scary deep into the Stephen King universe. Jon then shares how fans helped make his MLB The Show tournament experience great (even if he didn’t make the playoffs), who his pick is to win it all, and why he hopes the Players League becomes a new tradition. Jensen also tries to recruit Jon and other MLB players to participate in an intervention for Gavin Lux’s Crocs situation.

Dwight Smith Jr. / Ian Karmel May 01, 2020

Even with baseball in his genes, Dwight Smith Jr. is quickly making a name for himself. After having a solid 2019 season cut short due to injury, he came into Spring Training this year on a hot streak… and then everything stopped. The Baltimore Orioles outfielder talks about how practicing with his former major league Dad in quarantine has him feeling nostalgic, why he’s not ready to bust out the Toosie Slide in the bigs, and how he’s staying away from his biggest opponent - donuts. Jensen also breaks the news to Dwight that he made the playoffs for MLB’s The Show Players League. Dwight shares why the Orioles are underrated in the game (and real life) and how his hilarious “Sorry, Niko” will live on as a meme and haunt the Detroit Tigers’ Niko Goodrum forever. Plus, Jensen chats with Ian Karmel, the comedian and head co-writer of The Late Late Show with James Corden about his beloved Portland Trailblazers and why rewatching Ken Burns’ Baseball docuseries is seriously no joke.

Derrick Walton Jr. / Carl Tart Apr 29, 2020

As a free agent in the NBA, released just days before the league shutdown, Derrick Walton Jr., was ready to contribute on a potential playoff team in the home stretch, so now the unemployed journeyman is looking to 2021 with a different set of fears than say, a Lebron James. The former Michigan star talks about celebrating his birthday in quarantine and how he’s been staying in shape for next season, whenever that may be. He also talks to Jensen about playing overseas, feeling for student athletes who missed out on the NCAA tournament, and the plans to keep his summer camp league going in his hometown of Detroit.

Mitchell Schwartz Apr 27, 2020

After winning the Super Bowl, everything is supposed to change for you… but not like this. To say Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz - known for his ultimate NFL workhorse record of 7,894 consecutive snaps - is eager to return to the field as a defending champion is an understatement. Mitch fills Jensen in on how he went from holding the coveted Lombardi Trophy just weeks ago to coveting the last roll of toilet paper in the house. The two then dive into why “Mitch in the Kitch” has the best Instagram for your tastebuds, why his brisket and matzo ball soup would make any Jewish mother proud, and how Food Network better be calling him after he hangs up his cleats. Jensen also breaks the news in real time to Mitch that Gronk and Brady are getting back together again - so get your kegs ready, Tampa! This episode and series supports FeedingAmerica.org.

But don’t worry Reds fans, Vegas’ own Amir Garrett has got you virtually covered… and he’s doing it in full uniform. The Reds relief pitcher tells Jensen why he is the champ of MLB The Show 20, how he plans to keep his e-sports title in the Players League and why he’s gonna be talking mess to his opponents no matter what happens. Amir also shares the eerie sight of seeing the Las Vegas Strip totally empty, how no amount of Netflix has the drama of live sports and why his dogs have now become “man’s best catcher.” The two then discuss the current MLB season options and how they’ll affect the everyday position players' health.

Gavin Lux Apr 22, 2020

Last October, Los Angeles Dodgers top prospect Gavin Lux became the youngest player of all-time to hit a pinch-hit home run in the postseason. This season, the shortstop favored to win NL Rookie of the Year is… well, right now he’s watching Game of Thrones for the third time at his parents house in Wisconsin. Jensen checks in with Gavin to see how he’s staying well-prepared for the Home Run derby (if he’s asked!), the pressures of representing the Dodger Blue and playing as himself in the MLB The Show 20 Players League. Gavin also lets Jensen know that the newest Dodgers, Mookie Betts and David Price, are fitting in nicely on an already loaded team (and group chat). He then shares his thoughts on the delayed MLB season, the all games in Arizona idea, and why no matter when the season starts, Dodgers fans won’t forget about the Astros. Oh, and there’s also praise for Kershaw’s comedy chops, LA’s own Roddy Rich and some questionable quarantine love for Crocs. This episode and series supports FeedingAmerica.org.

Collin Sexton Apr 20, 2020

You’d be hard-pressed to find a player in the NBA who eats, sleeps, and breathes the game of basketball more than the Cleveland Cavaliers Collin Sexton. So, Jensen was eager to find out what exactly the young rising star is doing now that the game he’s obsessed over his entire life has stopped. Collin talks to Jensen about how staying competitive at home with his family isn’t a problem and why he’s excited to see draft prospect and fellow Atlanta-native Anthony Edwards join the NBA next season. The two also talk about whether they’ll play again this season and why if they don’t, awarding the Lakers the Championship isn’t a legitimate win. Collin also shares what it was like to be quarantined - before the rest of the nation - after finding out that the Utah Jazz’s Rudy Gobert had tested positive for Covid-19 - just days after playing them.

Napheesa Collier Apr 17, 2020

After receiving 2019 WNBA Rookie of the Year honors, Napheesa Collier was looking forward to spending this offseason playing in China and planning for her wedding.

The Minnesota Lynx star talks about leaving China during the Coronavirus outbreak, what this WNBA season will look and sound like without fans in attendance and how the WNBA draft going virtual changes things for all leagues and players.

Cris Cyborg / Paul Scheer Apr 15, 2020

When everything in the world feels pretty scary, it’s strangely comforting to hear from the otherwise intimidating force that is Cris Cyborg, the only MMA fighter in history - male or female - to become a Grand Slam Champion. The current Bellator MMA Women's Featherweight World Champion talks about training during quarantine for her next fight (which could involve boxing gloves) and how she's loving playing video games on Twitch. Cyborg then reveals the possibility of what fans have been dreaming - a fight with Ronda Rousey - but in the realm of sports entertainment. Plus, Jensen checks on friend and fellow Clippers die-hard, Paul Scheer, to see how the actor and comedian is still bashing the Lakers via NBA2K. This episode and series supports FeedingAmerica.org.

Benjamin Watson Apr 12, 2020

For the past 16 years in the NFL, you could count on tight end Benjamin Watson to catch anything you threw his way. So now that he’s announced his retirement, mid-pandemic, DON’T be surprised when he sounds completely relaxed while quarantined at home with his seven kids. Yes, that’s right, SEVEN.

As a community leader and NFLPA rep, Benjamin also gives the latest update on what this NFL season could look like for players and fans - if there even is one. He also talks about former teammate Tom Brady’s shocking move to Tampa Bay. This episode and series supports FeedingAmerica.org. For more of The No-Sports Report, visit Treefort.fm.

There are few figures in sports (or anywhere) with the know-how to overcome life-changing events better than Jay Williams. Jensen and the beloved collegiate legend, and now ESPN analyst, share their experiences parenting immunocompromised children during COVID-19, how we should all be taking this opportunity to work on ourselves and our relationships, and why for him, Denzel Washington is truly “man’s best friend”.

There's no better time than quarantine to call a friend, so Jensen is happy that the first guest on The No-Sports Report is WWE legend, actor and MMA commentator - CM PUNK. He updates Jensen on how he's handling the quarantine and ways he and other fighters have updated their training and workouts. Punk explains how even as a diehard Chicago Blackhawks fan, he can't stomach to watch replays of old games and how Stan's Donuts in Chicago is essential in these times... and well, any time.

The two go off on how wrestling without an audience is crazy, how not canceling Wrestlemania this weekend is dangerous and who is to blame for all of it (HINT: Hey, Vince McMahon, you remember CM Punk, right?)
