It's about time with the ball, Maverick and the pit crew. Star your engines. The Sports Rise Show is ready.

0:47Welcome everybody to the Sports Rise Show. I am your host, Sports Pops. And remember here at the Sports Rise Show, every sports story belongs to you. In order to bring all the sports story, I need the best beat crew in sports today, but for some odd reason, they are late. So, let's start with our special guest tonight, Andy Hernandez. Andy, it's a pleasure having you here. You have your amazing TikTok appearances with your show, Real Talk, and we'll get into that in a few minutes. I want to introduce Juan Carlos Rios, but he likes to be called John Charles Rivers. I don't know why, but that's the way he wants to be presented.

1:31John Charles Rivers. Andy, I've been following your real talk. I hope we can make real talk just for about half hour real sports talk. But, my man, I admire you from the day I saw your first clip, and I'm going, wow. is basically a platform that establishes, you know, some good common sense for us, the good common men. I will put it that way. That's my opinion. But Andy, tell us a little bit more about you and what you've been doing lately. Thank you for having me. Thank you for having me, not just for men, but also for women too. You know, I tend not to be biased and try to be able to actually help a conversation to have men and women have a better dialogue and better understanding.

2:21So, you know, I've been busy, actually. You know, it's, I never knew that Real Talk was actually, you know, was gonna, you know, bounce like that the way it did and kind of response that it had. First of all, I want to say thank you for having me. You know, I'm a filmmaker, producer, cinematographer, and also the creator of the Real Talk, the original Real Talk, because it's all the people trying to imitate. but I spent decades in the entertainment industry as you may know yes Andy and I will have to say one thing to the rest of the panel I got John Charles Rivers I got Mr. Hector Cepeda I better know as Mr.

3:00Baseball here at the Sports Right Show the only thing about Andy he's not perfect he's a Yankee fan I'm sorry it happens no one is perfect in this world sorry guys but I gave him You know, I gave him a warning. I said, look, the Yankees at this show, they're better known as the Jan-Cheetahs Kankies. So that's basically what we got here. But let me ask you this, Andy, besides, you know, working on the backside of productions and everything else, you know, with shows and everything else. Are you doing any other type of shows right now within your career? Are you having any projects? And the reason I'm asking, I would love to be an extra.

3:45I'm trying to make myself to Hollywood one way or the other. Actually, I'm working on a couple of things. I have two scripts, two TV shows that I actually, before the pandemic, Netflix original, actually was interested in. And then the pandemic hit, and then, of course, then it was put in the back burner. But now I'm reviving that again. But right now I do some filming for the UFC and also for Bare Knuckle Fighting. So I'm very familiar with that. I do a lot of the promos. I do a lot of their highlight reels and stuff like that. So instead of them coming from Vegas, I'm already near Coconut Creek, you know, five minutes away from America's top team.

4:21Okay. And I do a lot of their filming and a lot of the interviews for a lot of the fighters. Understood. So I will mess with you because that means you've been training with those guys. Hey. You see my IG, you see a lot of the guys, you know, in fighters and a lot of my work that I've done for the UFC and also inside, you know, America's top team. And also I've worked with MMA Masters, you know, down here, and also the Ghost Shed Academy, which is the three top gyms in South Florida when it comes to MMA. I've always loved combat sports. I used to be a professional boxer for eight years in New York.

4:58Oh, wow. So I was always involved in that. Wow, boxing. I mean, we love boxing. You know who might be coming next month? If he's in and he approves to come into the show, I'm going to call you to see if you want to come in again. Antonio Tarver. That's my man. Antonio will be here next month. We're working on the date and the time and everything else. But he's here in TV City. He trains a lot of prospects, including his son. So he might be here sometime next month. So we're hoping for that one. Cross our fingers. I'm a good friend with Derek Diaz. He has Diaz Boxing down here. I know Antonio Tarver is very, very good.

5:41I have a couple of footage with me and him. Our jury, you know, welterweight champion of the world. I mean, I used to train with Tyson up in Gleason's gym in Brooklyn back in the days. Wow. They're the same age. So, yeah, Tarver's a good friend. He's a great commentator, actually, too. Yeah. Well, I wonder if Mr. Baseball wants to train some boxing or something like that. We'll get you a trainer, Hector. Are you ready? Yeah, go for it. Hector's like, hey, not my business. I'll do baseball. That's about it. What about you, John Charles Rivers? You want to give it a try in boxing or you're good?

6:20I mean, I'll give it a try. I'm close by. I'm in Sunrise, so I'm not far from you. Oh, man, you right here. I mean, I'll go give you a visit. Yeah. Well, guys, well, let's talk about you, Andy. I know you're very family-oriented. You have a beautiful family. you being able to portray that through your show, Real Talk. And I'm telling you, it is, let me put it this way. For people that have not been successful keeping their lives together and keeping their family together, and I will include myself on that one, it is something beautiful to watch and to see someone else to be able to make that happen with the family and the kids.

7:03And then, of course, your show, your career. is very admirable, to be honest with you. And that's why I love your show. No, thank you so much. But let me clear you something on something that you said. I am a family man. I love being a family man. I do have my mother. I do have my brother. I do have my daughter. And I do have my grandkids. However, when you say family man, this is what made me create Real Talk, because I lost that family, at least my immediate family back then, me and my ex-wife and stuff like that. And through that pain, and unfortunately men and everybody in general we don't learn to be just you know we learn through pain unfortunately so when when that happened you know after 26 years of marriage you know and you trying to you know make things work and make things happen you know and you're sacrificing so much and that you finally have to walk away you know with a broken heart you know it's hard for to come back and as men we all know as men we have difficulties in showing our vulnerability because society thinks of us that's weak you know what we carry every one of us go to work every single day no matter what's going on rain shine snow whatever it is and we always have a smile on our face you know what because a man's supposed to provide is supposed to protect and so forth you know what but nobody gives a damn what's going on inside the man's you know head and sometimes a lot of the battles, a lot of the suicide that happened in Memphis was the battles inside our heads.

8:37And I was going to that spiral and said, I got to do something. I have to let it out. I need to speak what I'm feeling, what I went through, my experiences, what I'm going through right now, and even through my mistakes, because I'm still creating mistakes. Don't get me wrong. But I learned how to be vulnerable. I learned how to speak genuinely. Not through a script, nothing. Everything that comes from my heart. You know? And also, then, when you also find a person that actually appreciates you, how sometimes we sabotage that. When we're so used to the chaos and then somebody good comes in, we don't know how to handle that because we're like a fish out of fucking water.

9:19She's my friend. But that's the way it is. So that's where Real Talk originated. It was my pain expressing my experiences, what I went through, my losses, my gains. You know, my triumphs, everything, you know, and next thing you know, I think people were resonating with my pain and identifying with that. And, you know, next thing you know, I was like, oh, my God, I came about your post. I was about to commit suicide. And you came in, you talked positivity to my life. Dude, you know, I get goosebumps because you know what? You're making an impact in people's lives. Yes, it's definitely. Definitely you are.

9:55I mean, hands down. I mean, like I said, I became an instant fan as soon as I saw one of your shorts. And I was like, my God, who's this guy? I said, let me follow him. And then eventually I said, I'm going to make it one of my goals to have him as a guest on the show. I appreciate it. Thank you so much. It means a lot. It means a lot. No, I mean. Because as men also, we need a, you know, at the beginning of the show, you mentioned about, you know, you know, the men need help and the help men actually does. they need to be heard sometimes and understood because we don't talk we're not verbal we're not emotional women are emotional men it's not you know and there's got to be a way we could you know also you know be able to understand each other and also being on the other side of the fence where i've heard people that love me you know that i love and that's you know i'm trying to learn this in my past traumas is in my our child whatever it is it's not an escape code to you know what to justify whatever you did but as long as you have awareness what has come you have the time to fix it that way it will not happen again you know because the main goal is to be able to go ahead and learn and grow in the beginning of the show you asked me you know wow whatever yes i was you know married with this person for x amount of time and taught me the lesson there's no hate towards my ex or anything like that actually i'm grateful because everything as actually put a, you know, it was a learning experience.

11:24Yes, definitely. It's freaking painful. That's how, you know. But then once you start learning, you start learning and identifying the problems and your triggers, you'll be able to go ahead and live a little better, you know. I used to go ahead and look for validation in the wrong things. Go out, go dancing, talk to different women, whatever the case might be, you know. Numb myself because, you know what, I was uncomfortable being by myself because when you're by yourself that's when all your thoughts come and haunt you and you can't sleep and you're getting you know so you want to escape the noise escape the voices in your head and I learned you know that it's okay to be alone use that solitude to help yourself heal and grow it's a difference between being alone and feeling lonely and I'm learning that now as we go you know and I'm still learning you know but But Real Talk is not just a channel.

12:18It's a community. We all help each other out. There we go. Let me ask you, have you had any, you know, Giant Cheaters, Yankee fans reaching out to you after being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays? I'm just saying, you know, because that's pain also for a lot of Yankee fans. You have no idea. I've been low in this group, man, with my brother and my college friends, man. Oh, my God. Yeah. I do. I don't know what words of encouragement have you told them. When we beat Boston, we were like, yes, come and get it, you know? Oh, there you go. Look, for me, a perfect baseball season is when the Dan Cheaters are gone.

13:02So that makes me very happy. Same thing happens with the NBA. When LeBrun, the queen of flop, is gone, I'm a happy guy. So I'm just making sure that your fans know how I feel about, you know, the New York Yankees, Jan-Cheers, Yankees, and, of course, LeBrun, the Queen of Flop, and we got so many nicknames on this show. You're going to enjoy the ride. I can't wait to hear them, man. Let me ask you, do you have any favorite NBA team? The NBA? Well, of course, you know it's going to be the Knicks. Oh, he's with the champions. Oh, but, you know, they let me down last night. They lost the opening against Philadelphia.

13:4070 CCs. Let me explain. The CC stands for Circus Clowns. That's LeBrum and the rest of that team right there. So I don't want people to think that I'm saying 70 CCs means something else. It means Circus Clowns in our sports show here. We'll see how the New York Knicks bounce back. I think they have a heck of a team. I think they have a phenomenal team. Yeah, they do. They do. They have a phenomenal team, and I think they should be the favorites to come out of the East. I know it's going to be between the Knicks, unfortunately, I've got to say, the 76ers, and, of course, the Boston Celtics. They always have something under their sleeves to go ahead and cover that and see what happens.

14:33I'm liking – I saw OKC last night beating San Antonio Spurs. with Victor La Yema when Benyama. La Yema. La Yema. I don't know if you know what Yema means in Puerto Rico, but it means soft. No, no, no. Puerto Rico means soft. Ain't that right, Juan Carlos? Yema. Es una Yema. I don't know if it means soft or not, but, well, in that way, yes. Exactly. In the sports way, yeah. Yeah, in the sports way, es una Yema. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what we call him, La Yema Wenbeñama. We might add La Dirty Yema Wenbeñama. We're still debating on that one.

15:21Hector, you're not a Spurs fan, I hope. Hell no. Oh, thank God. Thank God, because you know I would have cut you off right now, and I'm going to just stay with Andy and John Charles. But anyway, I think the Knicks got a great chance this year again. I don't know if they can be able to repeat, but they should be one of the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference this year. And like I said, as long as LeBrun, the Queen of Flop, and the 70s CCs don't make it, Sickles Clowns don't make it to the NBA Finals or win the NBA Championship, I'm a happy guy. Anyway, let's go into the business of baseball, and that's why I got Juan Carlos Rios, better known as Jones, Charles Rivers, and Hector Serrera, Mr.

16:05Baseball here. Andy, I know you're going to be a little bit uncomfortable because as you mentioned it, you're a Jan Cheetah's Yankee fan or New York Yankee, I'm sorry. Those Yankees, I'm not really a Dieter fan, just Yankees. Okay. Anyway, Andy, I'm going to ask you, who you like in the World Series? You like Milwaukee or you like the team that swept your team? I don't know, man. Milwaukee, I'm leaning more towards Milwaukee, actually. Okay. and why are you going more on that side of the Milwaukee Brewers? And they're a heck of a baseball team, and they got the most winning percentage, winning games this year.

16:46They led the majors in wins just like last year. So they're a heck of a baseball team. Yeah. And, you know, Tampa Bay is going to have their hands full. Yeah, that's why I wanted to get a slap. There we go. Hey, J.C. Rios, Mr. John Charles Rivers, who is your favorite to win the World Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays? I mean, I would love Tampa to win. I mean, I'll go with the locals, right? Yeah. I mean, Milwaukee is entering with a more convincing recent performance. But Tampa demonstrated that it can respond under pressure. So it's going to be a tie one. I think we're going to see seven games out of this one.

17:34Wow. Wow, seven games. Mr. Baseball, Hector Cepeda, you agree that we're going to have a seven-game series? Either seven or six. It's going to go there. But, yeah, I think it's going to go there. I see Brewers. They scrappy. They fight, and they work the pitcher out like they did this whole playoff. So I see them going to win it all. And their bullpen is very strong. Oh, no, their bullpen is nasty. I mean, they were at one point against the Dodgers, they were perfect. Like in 12 innings, no hits, no walks, nothing allowed to Dodgers. And that's a heck of a potent lineup. And they just shut the lights out out of L.A.

18:24Dodgers and the possibility to become the first team in National League history to have a three-peat, you know? Last team to three-peat? I hate to say it, but it was the New York Yankees. That should make you happy, Andy. You know, I recognize history. So that should make you happy. Sorry, Andy, we beat you on 2018. I was working with Boston at that time. Okay. Oh, man. There we go. So, Hector, what do you think are the key situation or key elements for Milwaukee to be successful to be the Tampa Bay Rays? And then if you have any key elements that Tampa Bay might be able to apply and then surprise the world and win the World Series.

19:11Continue playing what they were playing. Bunch still hit and run. That's their game. If they change that game, they're not going to win. But they continue playing what they started, finish it, continue doing it. because the pitching is going to be awesome. They're all well, 100%. They got charged up like we do for our phone to charge it up to 100%. And they're ready. I think they have to continue doing what they were doing. That's the only way they're going to win it. Keep fighting and everything. Keep poking away into the game. And man, it's going to be awesome because you have two teams that haven't won another World Series yet.

19:51I think we're going to see something nice coming this year. I think this is the second trip for Milwaukee and the third for the Tampa Bay Rays, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. Yeah, so we're going to have somebody for the first time within the franchise to win a championship. We know the Yankees got 27, Andy. I know you're about to say that.

20:13Andy Hernandez: Yeah. The Yankees got 27. Hey, JC, who do you think has the best opportunity to win this World Series and why? Well, I did say at the beginning that I would like Tampa to win, right? But I think Milwaukee has the home field advantage. They have a stronger bullpen. I mean, you saw how they performance against the Dodgers. So I think Milwaukee has the advantage. I mean, the home field advantage is really big in this kind of series. Tampa is not a baseball city. The fan base is not that strong. So I think Milwaukee has the better chance. Well, the fan base between Miami, Tampa, is pretty similar.

21:13If you're winning, they might show up. If you're not winning, they'll be gone. Because I'm going to tell you this. In the second game, yeah, they won first game against the Cleveland Guardians, and they lost that game. And the next game, game two of that series, had 5 ,000 less fans in the stands. So Tampa Bay started running away immediately after they lost game one, you know. So it's something that is very surprising. even with that kind of fan base, they're getting a$2.3 billion new stadium here in Tampa in 2029. We're making some money now. I guess. I guess they're making some money or somebody's paying.

21:59I don't know who it is, but somebody's paying. Andy, it's a relationship, love and hate. Yeah, there we go. You lose. You lose. You lose. It's a love and hate relationship. Look, just like JC says, I would love to see the Tampa Bay Rays getting that championship, but I wouldn't be upset either if the Milwaukee Brewers get the first one in franchise history. So, you know, either way, it's a great thing not to see a team like the Jan-Cheater Skankies or, you know, the St. Louis Cardinals or the Evil Empire or the Blue Evil Empire of the National League, the Dodgers winning the thing for a third time.

22:38It's always good to say. It's always going to be nice. Yeah, it's always good to see this happening. I mean, it's not good for business, but it is good to see other teams playing in the World Series. I'm going to say this. I'm going to play devil's advocating here. As all we know, there's going to be a probable lockout for the next season because the current CBA will be over December 1st. And for the new one, the owners proposed a salary cap, and that didn't go well with the Players Association and the players, of course. So they deny it. So the speculation out there is there's going to be a lockout.

23:23One side is not going to give up. The other side is not going to give up. Now, having these two teams that we consider a small market of how they spend money within their organizations is telling the owners in baseball, hey, man, I don't know why you want a salary gap because right now the National League team and the American League team, I mean, they don't even have half of the stuff that the Dodgers spend. As a matter of fact, the three teams, Cleveland Guardians, of course, the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays, were still short about$20 million versus the payroll of the Dodgers. All three combined.

24:12So that's sending a message to owners to say, hey, look, we don't need a salary cap. You leave that for the NFL and the NBA and the hockey league and NHL. But for baseball, it's not needed. You can see how a small market with smart recruiting, great farm system, they can be where they can be at. And so we'll see what happens. I know the last two years the Dodgers dominated the baseball world, and we know. and they're like Andy you imagine having 1.1 billion dollars in deferred money to pay your players man listen and you know what it is too man I'm from the Dominican Republic and a lot of the best freaking baseball players come from the Dominican Republic you know and I had two cousins that actually used to play for the Astros you know back in the days and man.

25:13Who were that? Huh? Who were they? I'm from Houston. You're from Houston? We're talking about the 80s, bro. Yeah. I know Jose Cruz. Okay. Have you heard of I heard of him. Yeah. He's my cousin. There you go. And then his brother also, too. Gutierrez. Yeah, well, the others in Mendes I'll be you'll mend this Okay, we'll have to go back Astros and then the thing is man, you know, they have a great camp down right now in the bringer republic But they have all these youngsters man Training like crazy You know, they're doing a lot of camps down the middle republic, but the thing is the money You know, it is this the money i'm like you're getting these kids that are superstars you paying peanuts.

26:09You guys are exploiting these teenagers, these young cats. The same thing in Puerto Rico. It's the money, too. Same situation anywhere, really. Yeah. It's like, I don't know, something got to give, man. Something got to give. It's a lot of money. The thing is, it's going to get hotter and hotter now. We'll see what happens with the new CBA. Let me ask you, you guys think it's a lockout uh jc and and hector what's your vote we got baseball in 2027 or we we're gonna be taking a vacation i think i think we're gonna have baseball i mean it might start late but i think we're gonna start baseball it's not gonna be easy i mean the players i don't think we're gonna have a a salary cap i mean that's there's no way we're gonna have a salary cap but i think there's no at some point i i think it's gonna i don't think it's gonna last long like he's like jc said it won't last long they're gonna have a agreement somewhere somehow before the spring training comes up okay uh i i believe that i think there's gonna be a lockout in my opinion and i could be and i hope i'm wrong well no there's there is gonna be one yeah there's gonna be one because It starts on December the 2nd.

27:30Now, like Hector said, I mean, I don't think it's going to last long. They're going to, both parties are going to keep pushing. But, I mean, teams are doing well. The league is doing well. They cannot afford to lose what they have built in the last few years. I mean, we have seen the best years of MLB baseball, I will say. They have grown so much, you can't afford to lose that. That's not easy to do, what they have done. And a lockout is not good for baseball. It's not good. And we were discussing probably maybe two months ago, and we said the following. Does baseball have right now a McGuire and a Sosa that could take over again and bring baseball back?

28:18Because that's how baseball came back the last night. You know, if it's not for McGuire and Sosa, I don't know where baseball would have been. Hands down. The show that those two put with power, and I know we talk about steroids and we talk about everything else, but I have said it before. This is how I feel about steroids. If a steroid makes you a professional player and play professional sports, then everybody will be taking them because we all want to make those millions. Believe me. A lot of people get the steroids a little bit that it's just juice up to keep you pumped, hit home runs and all that.

28:52it really gives you like they play over 100 and something game but and by the time they get to those to the elite mid-season yeah they're dragging their arm they're tired they're trying to they're trying to hold up to that 100 and whatever game it's 162 games and you know uh they're saying that they're going to try to see if they bring it down to 154 and then make all the other series, seven-game series, which to me is no difference, eight games versus, I don't know. It might be a big difference, eight games during the regular season. But then all those teams going into the postseason will be exposed to play seven-game series.

29:33Whoever makes the playoff is going to play the same amount of games. Exactly. Whoever is out just got eight. I think they're going to start hitting those peptides, man. Don't get me wrong. don't tell me, man, most of all these athletes, man, they use their peptides. There's always a will, but there's a way, man. Like I said, I was a boxer for eight years, man. Every time we used to go ahead for a fight, I won the gloves two times up in New York. Every time I used to get tested and being able to go ahead, there was always a way with certain things that people get away from. Back in the days, it was a lot easier because now they don't have the type of testing they have now.

30:14you know yeah but still there it's still away so i don't know you know i mean if they're gonna exploit and making 160 something games bro you know you gotta be on something bro either that or you you know you have to train your ass off every single day every single day but even like that it takes a toll on your body especially as you start getting older totally i understand that part, you know, I'm getting younger and younger every year. I don't know how I'm doing it. But anyway. Hector, why are you laughing, man? Why are you laughing, Hector? Anyway. Look at me. I'm having that Matt LeFleur look.

30:57Look at me, Matt LeFleur. I'm going to make you old. You know how hard it gets to get Manny Ramirez on the show. Oh, man. No, no. Manny, Manny the man. We've been trying to get Manny How long have we been trying to get Manny, Hector? Three months? Is it going to be a year already? Huh? Is it going to be a year or something? Yes, we started really slow trying to get Manny Ramirez into the show. I can't even get him on the smoke show.

31:31So we're trying. We're getting here left and right, man. We're trying big time. Matt Barnes even got so far that even Mark Barnes would call to put him on a show. But I think they're going to do it like when he's at home online like we're doing right now. Okay. So you don't have to go over there. No, no, no. Hey, man, if he can do it from his home, I have no issues whatsoever. We just want him to be here with us at the Sports Rye Show for sure. And I know if I got Manny Ramirez on the show, J.C. got to be on the show. J.C. will say, I got to be there. Andy, if you want to be there for that night, because I know he's from República Dominicana, heck of a player.

32:18To me, he should be in the Hall of Fame, but, you know, it's another discussion with the steroid era and everything else that they keep, you know, bringing up and not allowing these guys to do what they do. I met him briefly at the Miami airport. And I just said, hi. I didn't say anything else. You know, just, hey, how you doing? He turned around. And I'm going, this guy should be playing for the Miami Dolphins. This guy looks like a freaking linebacker. He don't look like a baseball player. That is a middle linebacker football type of body. So for him to be able to do what he did in baseball with that kind of muscle mass and everything else is very impressive.

33:00Very impressive. I mean, he's a big dude. And I'm not saying big dude like Bailey or anything. No, no. This guy, his back looks like a billboard. You can put anything back there. It is. And you said that's marketing, you know. I wish I had the sports ride show at that time. I would have put like a little stamp sports ride show and let him walk through the whole airport that day. But a heck of a guy, very, very, very reachable. Let's put it that way. You know, he's a humble guy, and he's a man of God, you know, and that's what I admire about Manny besides his baseball career, of course, and that he won it with the Boston Red Sox and that they beat the Jan Cheaters Kankies when they were down 0-3 in that series.

33:46And it's the only team ever to lose a 3-0 series to 4-3 to the Boston Red Sox. Oh, that was the Jan Cheaters Kankies, by the way, Andy. I just want you to remind you of that little bit of history, you know? That's all. That's all. There we go. Thank you for reminding me. Hey, I'm going to continue with the baseball talk really quick. I just want to say the ladies just started WNBA Finals. It's Golden State Valkyries against the Atlanta Dream. I have to congratulate Angel Reese. Game two, she was able to score 30 points and 15 rebounds. is the third lady to do that in WNBA history. So my congratulations to her.

34:30Girl, keep doing your thing, and we'll see what happens for the rest of these finals. I think Golden State should win it, but you never know. Atlanta's put her on a fight. So we'll see how the ladies finish the season and who's going to be the new champion. Regarding who's going to be the new champion, yes, I believe Milwaukee has the better team. But there's something telling me that the Rays are going to pull the upset, baby. And the Tampa Bay Rays will win the World Series and bring that trophy here to the city of TBCT. And by the way, TBCT is not for Tom Brady. It's for Tampa Bay. A lot of people get confused, you know.

35:17You go TBCT and they go, oh, Tom Brady, Tom Brady. No, no, it's not Tom Brady. It's actually Tampa Bay. I didn't know you were in Tampa. I was actually in Tampa. I think it was last year we did Bear Knock Mania. Oh, really? Yeah, we were up there. We were up there with the... What was the Coliseum there? Not the Coliseum, it was the Sports Center. Oh, you're talking about... It's not the Benchmark, but before it was... That's where the hockey team plays, in downtown. You're probably there. It's called Benchmark now. Yeah. Yeah, it's nice. It was really nice. Yeah, it is a really nice place. I've been there for hockey games, but I've been there for concerts.

36:01I've been there for WWE events. It's a great venue for our sports. Yeah. I think they're going to do another one there in the future. Let me know. I mean, let's talk. They're doing a lot of events down in Tampa. Yeah. And every time they're there, I go and I film the highlights and I do the interviews. Now I know. So I'm up there, I'll give you a holler. I know for Hector it will be really hard. But in Port St. Lucie, there's a place called Mofongo King. Okay? Mofongo King. I met the owners. They've been doing this social media crazy stuff with the father and the son. They're very funny. They're from Puerto Rico.

36:45So, brother, at least JC, I know, can get with us and Andy. Let's get there together and do a little show from there. That would be awesome. I'll put it together. We can do it. I saw a few clips. I've never been there, but I have seen a few clips. They're big on social media. Yeah, they are big time in social media because, Andy, they do some crazy stuff. Man. They were even invited to a music concert. Yeah. in the Coliseo. This guy's name is a tall, skinny guy that married a Venezuelan girl. Oh, I forgot. Mark Anthony? No, no, no. A reggaeton singer. A reggaeton singer. Oh, because I deal with a lot of reggaeton singers.

37:30The tall one, really skinny, Puerto Rican, that he married a Venezuelan singer. Oh, wow. No, Nicky John. He's not tall. They got a podcast, too. oh yeah they do these guys Samira Sambrano husband man I know her name and I forgot his there you go you remember the ladies you remember the ladies name but you don't remember the guys we know you JC we know your style we know your game baby you know that's crazy that you say about Puerto Rico we had January the 18th I'm going next month to Puerto Rico to for because I work with Carajero Centuce with Carlos and Daddy Inga owners of the team okay for the Orlando Sepedote but we just got confirmed that January the 18th they're gonna the governor and everybody else the mayors and everything went ahead and approved to make a street name with Orlando Zepeda.

38:45Oh, wow. So whenever that day is Orlando Zepeda, everybody's off for work. Okay. I know when we did the World Baseball Classic, it's the only episode we have ever done in Spanish. Omar Prieto was there from PR13 Media and he's covering the Winter League in Puerto Rico now. He's ready to go back to Puerto Rico next week and start covering that. So maybe I can get you and Hector together and work something out with him because he's been media PR 13, he's called. And he gets to meet our family, you know, our people, the Zoperas, and sometimes Comente will be there as well. Okay. We got you. We got you.

39:39Andy, are you a big fan of the Dominic Republic Baseball League or like Tigres del Liceo? Bueno, yo soy Liceita. Oh. Yeah, yeah. But when they have the classics here, I like to come in and watch the classics, you know. It is amazing. That dude also was my dad. My dad just passed away about two years ago. He was a huge baseball fan, not just the Yankees, but he loved every team. Like this man could sit literally 24 hours on a couch watching baseball. It doesn't matter if he's from Japan, Korea. It doesn't matter if you know the language or nothing. He just loved baseball. That sounds like JC and Hector.

40:22They can sit 24 hours and watch baseball all day now. Man, my God. But, you know, that's something that I miss, Marty. you know so i we used to fly him in to watch the classics from the great republic down here my brother and i and uh this year was a little bit of sweet you know because you know he wasn't there with us so we try now to go and do it you know in honor of him of course like always i'm not too much of a huge you know like baseball and nfl nba i watch it especially like the series you know like um like the finals and stuff like that yeah i'm a huge combat sports guy you know i'm a huge boxing guy you know mma and basically boxing that's where i started but then boxing started getting very corrupt you know stuff like that i was seeing some decisions that was just like what the hell did he give a bad name a bad taste to a sport and that disengaged for a while you know you know now that you talk about that last week when we had leet steinberg you know and i always thought about him football agent football agent football agent well he was the agent for de la jolla and lennox lewis and he told me how those two decided to do their own promotions to try to fix the situations with uh you know with boxing and what you're talking about just now yeah it got so so crazy you know and everything started like with the doc hanging around you know and all that.

41:51It's just, it just gotten so, you know, because I trained with Luis Risto, the Puerto Rican World Series champion of the world that he did time, you know, Panama Lewis was training, you know, when he came out of prison, he was training. I trained with Ray Ayala and he used to tell me everything that used to happen in there, you know, and even the own trainers, you know, the trucos que hacían, you know, and you grab them like this and do, let's do that. And it just gotten to the point that, you know, You know what? The reality is to tell me, you could always beat the man inside the ring. You cannot beat the man outside of the ring, meaning the judges.

42:27So when I used to go there, I had to make sure I knocked that guy out, man. Rip his head off. If I leave it to the judges, I don't know if he's going to get robbed or not. You know what I'm saying? You know who does that too? She don't like the fight to go to the judges? Shyshika. She just joined us. At least we got some beauty now on the show. Sorry. Hi, Shyshika. How you doing?

42:52Andy Hernandez: Great. How are y 'all? We've been talking a little bit about boxing, a little bit about baseball, a little bit about Andy's show, Real Talk. I mean, it's been a very nice ride that we've been doing here. But then, like I said, we're all ugly, and so we needed some beauty. So we're glad you came in. Thank you. Don't let me interrupt. Just let me listen. There we go. I'm going to go in a little bit because I have my mechanic coming over and take a look at my car downstairs. What, your Maserati or your Porsche? Come on, come on. Don't be humble. Don't be humble now. Don't be humble now. Hey, Andy.

43:35Hey, Andy. You should get my connection, my contact with Javier because I just started watching your show. Oh, my God. It's unbelievable. I even share it in my TikTok. You see? You see, I'm promoting you, Andy. Andy, maybe I should become your agent. Andy. You never know. I need all the help that I can get. No, you don't need no help, man. The one that we need help is us. Believe me. Yeah, man. Listen, I'm a one-man show. You know, like I said, I do. I edit. I film everything myself. You know, I don't have a marketing team.

45:35Never. I have never shared a tear. Just kidding, brother. I have to grab the Kleenex sometimes and go, oh my God. Andy is doing it to me right now. Why are you doing this to me, Andy? But no, I love your show. I'm a big fan. No, no, no. You keep going. Keep bringing it. Keep bringing it, baby, because I love it. Brian Cleases the soul, man. I just want to say thank you for having me. It's very, actually, you know what? This is my first podcast. Wow. Okay. Oh, for me, hey, you just made my, you just made my night of my week of my year. You know, Lee Stiber, you know, I mean. The people ask me to tell me, Andy, can you come over to, you know, KJ, can you be on our show?

46:22And I never, you know, because it did not interest me. And there's something about it, you know, I'm an energy type of person. You know? Okay. And if I see something, you know, and that could help you out, and there's somebody in your audience that gets something out of it or what I do and vice versa. Yes. Absolutely. But with you, for some reason, I was like, sure. Okay, let's do it. You see? I was like. It's that magic. It's that magic by Shai Shika. I built podcast studios for a living. I built them from scratch for other people, whatever, blah, blah. and I don't even have my own podcast to it and people tell me, you got to do your own it's like, I got everything I need right here, I do my thing I go my live on Fridays at 11 o 'clock you know, and that's good but I got to do more, and I understand I got to do more it's my first time being on a podcast dude man, that to me is unbelievable and you know, I would have said, hey, he's been doing this, but I thank you for that man, and the fact that you're here with us makes me even more proud that I was able to get you with us.

47:30And I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you want to come back. And like I said, let's get together with JC and yourself in that side of the coast of Florida, and let's go to Port St. Lucie and go to Mofongo Kings. And we'll do something crazy with those guys down there. Hector, if you happen to be in Florida, you're welcome. Tell me what you need, bro. I got you. Okay, I got you. Hey, man, it's been a pleasure. Keep doing what you're doing. I love Real Talk. In my heart, I'm your number one fan, but I know there's more number one fans in there. But believe me, the Sports Ride Show loves what you're doing, my man.

48:09No, no, thank you so much. First of all, I want to thank you for having me. I appreciate the opportunity. You guys share a little bit of my journey. And to everybody watching out there, I just want to leave you with something. I don't care how successful you are. Yeah. Let me ask you. The money you make. how many championships you won, how many times life has knocked you down. Because at the end of the day, we're all freaking human beings trying to figure this thing called life out. Totally. So don't be afraid to communicate. Don't be afraid to take accountability. And don't be afraid to ask for help, people.

48:45Sometimes the greatest victory isn't beating somebody else. It's overcoming the things that have been holding you back. Yeah, like the Jan Cheater Skank is swapped. Real Talk. Like the Jan Cheaters skanky swept. I know. They're going through a lot. They're going through a lot right now. And I understand. And to all those Yankee fans, sorry. But if you need some help, my man Andy is the man at Real Talk, okay? Hey, Andy, we love you. This is your house. You can come in any time you want to. You don't need an invitation. Yes, sir. We're going to do it. My man, you have a great one. Love you guys.

49:30Thank you for having me. Thank you. All right, Andy. Nice meeting you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Shachika, you're going to have to learn a little bit of Spanish with us. I know. Yeah. We're going there. But anyway, this is Juan Carlos Rios and Hector Shepeda, Mr. Baseball. You met Mr. Baseball before. Yes.

49:52Andy Hernandez: Nice to see you again and nice to meet you. Yes. Likewise. So, Shy Chica, we're trying to grow the show to do also a segment for the ladies, and it's called the Sports Ride Show, Ladies Sports Happy Hour. So our idea is eventually when we launch our Ride Nation chat room is once a month for one hour, the phone lines and the chat room will belong to the ladies that love sports. Nobody else. So, JC, if you call me that day, you try to get in, I will not allow you. Because JC, he was happy hour, ladies happy hour. He wants to be in there, you know. I'm telling you. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

50:38You know, I'm going to make – he's going to get in trouble. No, my bad. But anyway, good man. Hector, amazingly, guys, you've been great. So, it seems like you guys got Milwaukee to win the World Series. Yes. What about you? It should be the favorite. Yeah, they're the favorites. But, hey, like everybody says, you got to play the game. That's why we love baseball so much. Okay, guys. I love you guys for being here with me. Thank you for the opportunity. I know it was a last-minute thing, but I'm glad and we covered a little bit. If the World Series still – yeah, it should be on by next Wednesday Steel.

51:18and you guys want to be back and talk about what has happened in the few games that they have played, let's go ahead and do that. So be ready for next Wednesday. Okay. Remind me, let me know, because I'm still dealing with – Go ahead. Who wants to go first? I'm still dealing with a couple of organizations for Manning, for hitting coach. Okay, understood. Yeah, it's been a hole up because some don't have no general manager or don't have a manager. Okay. We don't know what they're going to bring, but I should be good by next Wednesday. Okay. We'll keep in touch and make sure that we can do this next Wednesday.

52:02JC, once again, thank you so much. By the way, for people that don't know, JC is a baseball agent. He is certified by the Major League Baseball Players Association, and the man is doing his thing. Behind the scenes, for sure. Share my contact with Hector, too. We've got a lot of baseball to talk. Yeah, definitely. I'll do that. Well, on our chat, in the chat that I used today, your number is there, and Hector's number is there, and Omar Prieto's number is there, so you guys can get in touch. Omar is doing a lot of – he was a former catcher, so he's training catchers here in Florida, just to let you know.

52:45and then he got the PR13 media channel thing going in Puerto Rico. Okay, just let them know to give me a text. Yes, I'll let them know. Just give me a text. I'd like to save it. Yeah, we do need to talk a little bit more. Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. I'm going to stay with Shai Shiga so we can talk some National Football League. There we go, guys. Thank you for being on the show. We'll see you next week, guys. And Shy Chica, the show belongs to us now and the National Football League, baby.

53:21Andy Hernandez: They have the best for last. There we go. That's for sure. Let me go ahead and get the scores from last week really quick. Games, schedule, and let me get week six and we'll go over this Thursday night game. We had the Seahawks and the Broncos. Broncos held up and beat the defending champions 17-14. Very close game.

53:49Now the Broncos are 3-3 and the Broncos are 4-2. Did you get to watch any highlights or did you get to watch that game, Shai Shika?

53:59Andy Hernandez: I did watch it last Thursday, or I watched some of it, I should say. I was traveling for work, but I did see some of it. Yeah, that game was very physical. Defenses is in both sides. You know, they saw how Sam Darnold struggled, and they need a running game ASAP. So having Charbonnet coming back, I believe he's set to come back this week. So for you also, for your fantasy football team, that's great news for you, girl, because you need anything and everything, you know? Because the entire rest of my bench should be just saying IR. Yes. I could use some help. There we go. Texans and Jaguars, they had their game in London, and the home team in London is the Jaguars, and they got surprised by the Texans, 34-31.

54:55The Texans didn't still have so many problems, but they were able to capitalize from an offensive standpoint. Marvin Harrison Jr. made his debut with the Houston Texans, had three catches in that game, and basically Texans are playing good football. Back again after starting last year 0-3, this year 0-4. Now they're 2-4. The Jaguars are 4-2. We'll see exactly how that goes. But it was a good football game. And the most important thing I got out of that game is the fact that Stroud is playing very well.

55:32Andy Hernandez: He looked great. And I think Trevor Lawrence was a little thrown off by that. Yeah, I think he was. and not having his shampoo head and shoulders with him. The game maybe affected him a little bit. Anyway, then we had the Bears and the Falcons. And Shishika and myself, we were there covering that football game because we were there with the media production group out of Atlanta, tailgate party committee. And we had a great time sharing time with the Bears fans because he looked like we were in Chicago, but we were actually in Atlanta. And then we went inside the stadium to watch the game at Mercedes-Benz, and it looked like we were in Chicago still when we went inside the stadium.

56:22There were more Chicago Bears fans than Atlanta Falcons fans. I have to say it the way it was. Shashika, I know you enjoyed the game. Your team won. Caleb Maybelline Williams was back. He looked good. He looked very good. And he made Colston Loveland to start catching the ball, too. So, for me, I'm a happy guy when it comes to fantasy football because someone said that I reached too early picking Colston Loveland. I don't know who it was. Somebody made that comment. Anyway, but the Bears.

56:56Andy Hernandez: The Bears played well for the first three quarters. We'll talk about the fourth quarter at another time. Well, I mean, I'll say this. It's not that they played bad football. To me, this is what is happening. We saw how abysmal Atlanta was the first two games of the season. Then they go into the third game of the season against Green Bay in Green Bay, and they shocked the entire world. Then they continued that with the following game, and they had two winning streaks. Then they were playing the Ravens, and for almost four quarters, they played the same style of football that they were playing for game three and four.

57:34and then in the last quarter, they played like the team that played the first two games of the season. And on this particular game, they started the first three quarters and half of the fourth quarter playing like the team that came in the first two games of the season, and then they start clicking, you know. And, you know, the defensive package just changes and everything else. It becomes more of a vanilla type of defense, I'm sorry. and they took advantage of that with the underneath passes to Kyle Pitts. And it was funny because I mentioned it to you. If they have a chance to win, Kyle Pitts got to have a big game.

58:15I said it. And I said, and Coastal Loveland, same thing. I said, hey, he has to come up big, and he did. He had a heck of a game, probably his best game this year so far for Coastal Loveland, and that's because Caleb Mabellon Williams was back at the helm for the Chicago Bears. the Browns, the biggest surprise in the National Football League after six weeks. They're 4-2. They went and beat the Ravens. I know they didn't have Lamar Jackson, but I thought Baltimore has more than that, and I thought that we should be able to go ahead and win the football game, but the Browns held up field goal. I mean, field goal advantage, yeah, and they just decided, hey, we're not going to let anybody come into our house and beat us.

59:06And they beat the Ravens 13-10. We'll see what happens next week. Titans got the first win of the season by beating the Colts. That cost the job of the general manager of the Colts. I don't understand why they fired the GM when the coach is the one coaching his players and his players are not responding and losing. Now they're, I believe, in the last 13 games, they're 2-11 with the same head coach. I think he'll be gone. If the GM is already gone, I believe the coach will be gone at the end of the season. The question will be is, who can be the new coach of the Indianapolis Colts? Plus, there's a big rumor that they're trying to trade Jonathan Taylor.

59:56Okay? So, who are the suitors according to the different experts? They're talking about who was the team that they talked about. Give me two seconds here because they say something about what team could benefit from having him as a runner. And I think it was. Wow. It's not the 49ers, not the Packers, because he's coming back. The Raiders are not going anywhere. Chiefs, we know they got K-9. Rams, they got their Corum and Williams. The Bucs are going nowhere, and they don't need it. They still got Bucky Irvin and Gainwell. The Eagles, we know what is happening this year. We have nothing to say.

1:00:50Panthers, they got Shubba. the hubba is doing very well for me and, you know, for my fantasy team. Saints, Giants, Jets, Patriots, Browns, Ravens, Bears, Falcons, Texans, Jaguars. Who the hell they thought that he should go? Well, I forgot. That's my bad. That's lifetime concussion protocol for me on that one. But anyway, the Titans get the first victory of the season. Good thing for that young team. And now they're 1-5, and the Colts are 2-4. Jets and Patriots. We all expect that game. It got a little bit closer than anticipated. But the Patriots came out with a victory 26-19. Drake, the truth made, is starting to play the way he played last year as he was second in the MVP voting.

1:01:41There's a reason why the Patriots are winning the way they are now. The Saints surprised the Little Giants, and they beat them 34-27. we saw J.J. McCarthy making his debut in the fourth quarter. And let me tell you, 234 yards in one quarter is very impressive. And I know that we're down and need to throw the football. And, you know, some of the experts out there, I'm not giving him the credit because they say he threw balls at receivers, made spectacular catches. But I say it this way. I throw it, you catch it, we make it happen, and they make a big spark for the Giants. Now, they're still not making a decision who's going to be the starter on this upcoming week.

1:02:26Panthers and Eagles, we know exactly. And this is where Shai Chica and I, we're going to talk a little bit about the Jalen Hurst situation. It's all over the news, you know. I listened to Dr. Shao today. He was 17 years, the doctor for the Chargers. and interstate. He was first at Pat Kerwin moving the chains, and then he came up on Pat McAfee, as a matter of fact, today, to talk about the situation and what could be the possibilities of what really took place. So I'm going to be paraphrasing here, but I think I'll be very good with the information. So according to the sources, they say he had what they call a superficial blood clot.

1:03:15Call it like that. And that if it was not the case, then he was okay to play. But if he had a deep blood cloth, then he should have never been playing. Dr. Shaw also said that this thing about talking about that he didn't sleep for 36 hours and the doctor told him not to sleep, he defers to that particular take. He says that nobody will tell you not to go to sleep. And we saw the Eagles peddling back and say that he did get some sleep. So we don't know all the facts in here, but the fact really is that what gets me upset is you are making Coach Ziriani to take all the blame on this one and be the one facing the media when it should be someone from the medical staff the GM and luring himself, the owner.

1:04:16You guys should put on your big boy's pants and go there and go, look, or we screwed up, or we didn't screw up, or you can start pointing and say, look, it's all up to the medical staff and then see who's going to get that lawsuit for medical malpractice because it's coming. When you make someone to go ahead and playing the circumstances they did, and suddenly those blood clots got into his lungs, that's a situation for if he's not treated, and this is Dr. Schall's words, if he's not treated immediately, he can cause death. So it's a very serious situation with him. Get better, Jalen. And I hope you don't get the results that Chris Bosh got with Miami because this is what exactly Chris Bosh went through.

1:05:12Blocked closet in his calves and everything else. They went to his lungs and everything, and he was never able to come back and play basketball. We're not hoping that for you. We're hoping that you can get very healthy, come back, and see who you play for next year because I will not be playing for the Eagles. That's my opinion if I was the player suffering from that situation. What do you think about that, Shachika?

1:05:36Andy Hernandez: I mean, I agree with majority of it, right? I think that you have to be looking at it as what's the long term impact of this injury or this situation, regardless of it. And you have to understand that before you go back into the game. You know, I mean, there's a reason that the flags they throw now are different than they were three years ago. There's substantial injuries that have happened in the league and they need to be factored in, right? fully agree. I don't think it's on the coach. I don't think it's on the medical staff. I think it's on the entire organization. You know, you have to have your checks done and that has to be a priority of the player's health before winning.

1:06:12Andy Hernandez: So I feel terrible for him. I hope he feels better and I hope he continues to thrive because truly and honestly, I think the Eagles are done for the season at this point. Not maybe just because Jalen hurts, but Barkley's hurt. I mean, they're struggling. So I hope for the best for him. You know, and he's a crazy rollercoaster right now because they lost two offensive linemen, you know, at the beginning of the season. One suddenly retired, and then the other one said, okay, this is it. And then Barkley gets hurt. Jalen Hurts gets hurt. I mean, they lost A.J. Brown to the trade to the Patriots. I mean, it's been a total disaster in Philadelphia, to say the least.

1:07:05I will say this. I'm going to say today. Jalen Hurts will get back to play football, but he won't play for the Philadelphia Eagles. He will be somewhere else. Huh?

1:07:20Andy Hernandez: Okay. I don't think he'll go back to Philadelphia. After the way they managed his situation? I don't think so. Panthers won the football game. They are 3-2 now. The Eagles go down to 2-4. And then we got into the game that he was held here at TBCT between the Steelers and the Tampa Bay Yaconeas. The Steelers came from behind. The magic of Aaron Rodgers once again. Roger that. And they came out with the victory 26-19 over the Tampa Bay Yaconeers. The shocker of the week, Cardinals beat the Rams 18-16 with six field goals. Yeah, by the kicker. And the Rams are not looking good. They're 2-4. Cardinals are 2-4.

1:08:10If you look into the standards right now, they're in last place. The Rams are. And this was a team that was expected to win it all. And I don't think even having Miles Garrett come back and play with Donald on that front seven for them defensively, I don't think it's going to make many changes. The offense is not clicking in all cylinders. For whatever reason, Mr. MVP is looking a little bit rattled around the pocket. So Stafford is just not playing to what he was playing last year. It's Father Time saying, hey, the clock is ticking. Could be that. I don't know. But there's a lot of other things that are very wrong with the Rams right now.

1:08:59And they went down on that game. After that, the Chiefs did what they were supposed to do in Arrowhead, and they beat the Chargers. Chargers are 0-6. I know Harper's not going to lose his job, but I'm going to repeat it again. I sound like a broken record. My, my, Dana, you need to get fired. If I was you, I'd quit. I'd give my resignation to have some dignity for the game and yourself. Get out of there. You know, please, this is a guy that he was progressing every single year, and you can see his body language, his eyes. He is sad. He is, I mean, this is just a complete disaster. And I said it before, I said it again.

1:09:42I drank that Kool-Aid thinking that Mike McDaniels with Justin Harbaugh, it was going to be magic. No, it's a complete Halloween disaster. So get out of there. Harbaugh, fire that guy. Because if you don't fire that guy for being loyal to Mike McDaniels, you're going to lose your job as the head coach of the Chargers. There's too much, too much talent in that locker room for you to be 0-6. It's just ridiculous. For the Chiefs, you know, with K-9 doing his team, running the football, and I'm referring to Mr. Walker, he is being that catalyst that the Chiefs needed to be back on the picture of being one of the favorites within the AFC with the Buffalo Bills and maybe whoever else wants to participate in this one.

1:10:39The Broncos could be one. But Bills did what they had to do. They had a close game against the Raiders. 33-30, your boy Josh Allen, girl. Look at her. She's all happy that the Bills won that football game.

1:10:56Andy Hernandez: Boys and die this week. The Packers beat the Cowboys. These Cowboys are not doing anything offensively. They're not doing anything defensively. They're not doing anything special. Teams, when you've got a guy like Aubrey getting only one extra point during the entire football game, and you're not even able to move the ball and put three points with a guy that can kick a 65-yarder with his eyes closed, there's a lot of issues within that offense in Dallas. So we'll see what they do. and the Packers. Packers are on the driving seat, 4-2, in a division that I still believe that the Vikings are going to be since they're 5-0, and they'll continue to win.

1:11:40But the Bears will be there competing, too. But, you know, for your own sake, Chay Chica, it better be the Bears because if Rumbikes wins this division, you will not hear the end of it. That I know. You will never hear the end of it. Commanders lost a close game against the 49ers, 23-17. On that game, McLaurin had a grueling knee injury. He's gone for the year. Then now to Stephon Diggs and other players there. So for me, the Commanders season is pretty much down the dumpster. So this is going to be a race between the Cowboys and the New York Giants. and I'll take my take again that I did, you know, before the preseason regarding the Giants and everybody looked at me like I was a lifetime concussion burgle.

1:12:33But I'm going to do like Tyrese Halliburton from the Indiana Pacers. Right back at you, bitches. Right back at you, bitches. Something in that matter. Let's go into what's going to happen this week, the action. So Shyshik and myself will make some picks for week seven. Big Thursday night game tomorrow, girl. What you're going to do tomorrow night is the Chicago Bears from Chicago, from Chi-Town, facing the New England Patriots. What a football game. Oh, my God. I know you got the Bears. You know, I know you got the Bears. But they have the same record.

1:13:17Andy Hernandez: Are you going to take the Patriots? I'm going to tell you why I'm taking the Patriots. Oh, God. They get Christian, my cousin, Gonzalez back. The shutdown corner. All right. The shutdown corner comes back tomorrow. And I think defensively the Patriots are much better than the Atlanta Falcons. It was when you faced this past week. So I'm taking the Patriots over the Bears. And I know you got the Bears over the Patriots. Steelers are home, man. Oh, I know. I know. But I think the Patriots are playing at a high level right now. Drake May has come back and really popped back into it. So I'll give you that.

1:13:55The Steelers and the Saints with vintage Aaron Rodgers. I got the Steelers here on this game. What about you, Shyshika? Do you like the Saints or do you like the Steelers?

1:14:06Andy Hernandez: Fully agree with you on the Steelers. Okay, so we're going with the Steelers. The 49ers and the Falcons. 49ers. Do I need to ask you, Shyshika? Is that even a question? Exactly. It's not a question. 49ers all the way. We got the Bengals and the Ravens. Ooh. And Lamar Jackson is scheduled to be back. So this is going to be Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, against that divisional game. 3-2, 4-2. What gives up here? Because it's in Baltimore, I'm going to take the Baltimore Ravens in a very close, close game. Hands down. Who you got, Shashica? I was going to say, I think because it's in Baltimore, they will pull it off.

1:14:54Andy Hernandez: But I do think it's going to be a competitive game. I agree. Yeah. I mean, now, if for any crazy situation and Lamar Johnson is not able to play, then the Bengals should win this football game pretty easy. Then we got the Jackeneers going into North Carolina to play the Carolina Panthers. I love what the Panthers are doing. They're very competitive. even when they lose the football game. So I like the Panthers over the Yakoneers. Who you got, Shyshika? I got the Panthers all the way on that one. No question. Okay, now we got the Giants 3-2-1 against the Houston Texans 2-4. Have won the last two games as a starting in a disastrous 0-4.

1:15:39Stroud is playing good football. I think he's back to that rookie year that he had. And I love to see that because I bought his jersey. I'm a quarterback guy. Yes. So I bought it when he had the rookie year. So I'll have an Aaron Rodgers jersey. I'll have a Dan Marino, of course. So I'll buy those quarterbacks that I love. I have a Baker Mayfield. I just think his bravado is crazy. So I collect those kind of jerseys for quarterbacks. And I have a Stroud one. So I'm glad to see the kid back. I hope he continues. And if he does, he will be well-deserved of a new contract and not just a fifth-year option in Houston.

1:16:24For the Colts, they go into Minnesota to play round Vikings. The 5-0 Vikings. And I got bad news for you, Shyshika. They're going 6-0. So I got the Vikings. You got the Vikings too?

1:16:42Andy Hernandez: I got the Vikings, yeah. Unfortunately. Definitely. From New Jersey, from Jersey City, we have the Pineapple Bowl between the Jets and the Dolphins. Dolphins come into New York. The Jets are a better football team than the Miami Dolphins, so I'm definitely taking the Jets. What about you, Shashika? I'm going to take the Jets as well. Okay, we got Jets. Now, Browns go into Tennessee. I know Tennessee got a big win this past week, but the Browns are playing inspired football. and when you play inspired football, usually good things happen to you. So I'm going to take the Browns. What about you, Shachika?

1:17:20Andy Hernandez: We're agreeing on a lot tonight. This is a first, but I am also going to take the Browns. I think it's because we met in Atlanta. That might be the thing. But anyway, you got the Browns also. Broncos, Cardinals. I know the Cardinals just shocked the world to a very struggling L.A. Rams team. I'm taking the Broncos in here. I mean, even that I know they're going to Arizona. Broncos should dominate this football game. Who you got, Shyshika? Yeah, the Broncos should kill it this weekend. There we go. Packers-Lions, big divisional game. Coach PlayStation Campbell against the Green Bay Packers. And my boy, Matt LaFleur.

1:18:08You know, I got that look, Matt LaFleur look. I always have it every week.

1:18:11Andy Hernandez: I saw that look this weekend in the back. You see, Matt LeFleur wig. You see, I got that look going. So Matt LeFleur and the Packers are playing some good football. I'm taking the Packers in Detroit. What about you, Shashika? Okay, I cannot agree with you there. I'm going to take the Lions on that one. You're taking the Lions. We coached PlayStation Camel, baby. Yes, I cannot go for the Packers. Okay, I think this is the trap game of the week. The Rams go into the Raiders. Raiders started 3-0. They have lost three in a row. But the Rams are not just playing good football. From either side in there.

1:18:54And at least, for me, the Raiders with Kirk Cousins are playing very well. I know the running game hasn't got there yet with Gentee. But I think it should start coming some way somehow before the season is over. I like the Raiders at home against the Rams. I see the Rams going 2-5. What about you, Shashika?

1:19:17Andy Hernandez: 1 ,000%. I think the Raiders are going to take this one at home. Now, Sunday night football game. We got the Chiefs versus the defending champion, Seattle Seahawks, the 12-man. Wow.

1:19:36Ladies first. Who you got? You got the Chiefs or you got the Seahawks?

1:19:39Andy Hernandez: I'm going the undefeated Chiefs. You're going the undefeated Chiefs. Well, I'm going to surprise the world here. I think Seattle is going to play lights out because, you know, they're playing against Walker and they want to show the world that it was not a mistake letting him go, even that it's a mistake. And for those particular reasons with 12 men on the field, I'm taking the Seahawks in a very, very, very close game. He might go into overtime, to be honest with you. And I got the Seahawks winning. Now we got what should have been a heck of a football game, but it's not going to be. The Monday night game is between the Cowboys and the Eagles.

1:20:22I feel sorry to call them the Philadelphia Eagles, but they are with the tush push. Jalen Hurts, get better from the Sports Ride Show, and we mean it with our hearts. We hope you get a speedy recovery and be able to play football again. Cowboys, you also need a speedy recovery. Because you play some ugly football. It's not inspirational football at all like the Cleveland Browns. Hopefully you can get something back. It's in Philadelphia. I know that defense is going to try to carry the Eagles. But if you've got no running game, you've got no passing game for sure now. I'm taking the Cowboys to win this football game.

1:21:02Who you got?

1:21:03Andy Hernandez: This is very tough for me. Because I think Jalen Hurts being out is a crucial player. but I do think Barkley has a chance of coming back. Eagles have not been consistent enough. I cannot take them for the first time this year. I got to go on the Cowboys. Wow, she's taking the Cowboys over the Philadelphia Eagles. Look at her. She's growing up. She's growing up. Look at her. Look at her. It should have been the game of the year. I was looking forward to attending this game. Now it's just going to be junk. It should have been a heck of a game, but the way that everything is transforming with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Cowboys are just playing back football.

1:21:45I will say, excuse my phrase, it's going to be a shitty game, to be honest with you.

1:21:50Andy Hernandez: 1 ,000%. This is the game of the year. We waited all year for this, and it's going to be junk. And for that reason, I have two tickets if anyone wants to go. But that's crazy. You got two tickets for what game? The Cowboys-Eagles. If anyone wants to go. You got two tickets. It is not going to be a pretty sight. No one wants to witness that. Wow. So what is it? You got season tickets? No, but I have two tickets this game because there was anticipation that this would be the game of the year. Can you get a refund? Can you get a refund? I wish. You might have to sell the tickets half less of value.

1:22:29Half less of value. So if you pay like$200, you might have to give them for$100. Who knows? But anyway, I think game of the week, in my opinion, I'm going to give you three games and you tell me what is the game of the week. Chief Seahawks, that's one.

1:22:50Dolphins, no, I'm just kidding. We got the Bengals and the Ravens. And, of course, Patriots-Bears. Who do you think is the game of the week?

1:23:04Andy Hernandez: I think the Chiefs and Seahawks. Chiefs and Seahawks. It is a primetime game. I think second would be the Bengals and Ravens. And then your Bears and Patriots, three? The Patriots still seem a little shaky. I don't know if I go with that yet. Okay. I'll let you know tomorrow night when I'm wearing all my Bears gear. There we go. I will not bother you. Even if you're winning or losing, I will not bother you at all. If you happen to lose, I won't get in touch with you until Saturday at least. So maybe you'll be more calm and everything else. You're still upset, but at least you have your time to breathe and go.

1:23:45Andy Hernandez: I will be in the living room cheering them on as if I'm there. There we go. Hey, Chino, get us out of here. Hey, I always say that for this show to make no sense at all, you need director, producer, cheerleader, but better known as Lifetime Concussion Protocol, Carlos Flores. Hey, man, get us out of here.
