Boys, we've got a lot of movement. Joey Bosa cut. DK Metcalf wants out. He does. I don't know where we want to start. You know what? Let's start with Joey Bosa because we have memes got his wisdom teeth pulled. So we have Shane in the booth. Joey Bosa cut. I think people expected it. The Chargers are going to save $25 million. But...
Chapter 2: How did Joey Bosa's cut affect the Chargers?
It is the end of an era because Joey Bosa is the last Charger to have played in San Diego. That's crazy. I did not know that.
Yes. So, yeah, it's over. No more San Diego Chargers. But I heard rumors that he might want to go up to the Bay, play with his brother. Ooh, the Bosa brothers together.
He also, I mean, it will be interesting to where he goes because he said himself, he's like, I don't have a lot of time left because, you know, he's dealt with injuries. But he is, would you say, Shane, an all-time Charger? Oh, he's not even trying on the mic. He's so upset about this. Press the button, Shane. Wow.
Yeah, for sure.
All-time charger.
Five-time Pro Bowler, yeah.
Yeah.
Rookie of the Year.
Did you know this was coming? What a resume.

Chapter 3: What are the latest rumors about DK Metcalf?
So is there anything else to his resume that you'd like to add to impress Hank? He was Rookie of the Year, five-time Pro Bowler.
Defensive Rookie of the Year. Okay, you already said that. Yeah, well, that's like his five-time Pro Bowler. A lot of injuries. I mean, it's bound to happen. Okay, a lot of injuries. All time. All time. I mean, it's the Chargers, man. We have nothing. Ring of Honor? I mean, doubt it, but.
Okay. I think you're dismissing the five-time Pro Bowler, Hank. Five-time Pro Bowler. Everyone makes the Pro Bowl.
I mean, it's the Chargers. It's not like we're a notable franchise in the history of the NFL. That's true. One Super Bowl appearance, we got blown out by like 35 points.
It's true.
Facts.
You're sad to see him go, obviously, but you knew it was happening.
Yeah, I mean... I don't know, because right when I was getting into football, for the most part, I could start watching Chargers games. It was his rookie season, so it's kind of sad to see him go, but he just hasn't been healthy. It costs way too much money. It's bound to happen.
Okay. All right. So, I mean, it wasn't... It's not shocking in the fact that I think we all expect it. It's more shocking that there's just another piece that is out there right now. And will he go to a contender? Will he try to take top dollar?

Chapter 4: How did Jerry O'Connell feel about the Oscars?
Oh, okay. Co-leaders.
Really well said. Yeah, I was trying to think of... Like Elon and Vivek.
I was trying to think of... They were co-leaders and they got along real well.
Eli and who?
Elon. Elon and Vivek.
Who's Vivek? Yeah, exactly. Ramaswamy. Exactly. Yeah, no, there could be co-leaders.
He's a dude who you probably haven't seen him for a while because he basically did a tweet that was like, American culture sucks. And then I was like, boo this guy. And that was it. We all said boo. We're all like, boo, dude. You got booed out of politics. Fuck you, dude. Get out of here.
Hell yeah.
Yeah. America rocks. All right. Let's get to our interviews. We have Jerry O'Connell with a very special guest joining in with him to maybe ask a few questions. And then we have Sean McVay. Awesome interview with Sean McVay. And we'll finish off with Fyre Fest. Okay, before we get to Jerry O'Connell, we are brought to you by our friends at Truly.

We figured this would be a perfect time to have you on to do a little Oscars preview because our listeners love movies and they want to know what's going to happen at the Oscars. So let's dive into it. Who's going to win Best Picture?
Guys, why'd you call this meeting? Why are you calling me? Like, what do you want? What do you want to talk about? You want to get the Oscars?
We saw you on TV and you look great, Jerry. I don't know. Who are you wearing?
Yeah, thank you. I was wearing. I was wearing John Barbados. I mean, I don't judge people physically. You guys know that about me. But to be more was very attractive. Mm hmm. Wow, you know who was very attractive? I don't judge people physically, but if I did, this is who I would say was attractive. I thought Nikki Glaser, who I saw, was a beautiful woman. Oh, yes.
Yes, very beautiful.
Where did they put you at the Oscars? Where do you sit? So I wasn't inside the building. I was outside the building. What? I was working the red carpet for Live with Kelly and Mark. It's a syndicated...
morning talk show not sports related and um like I just basically had to sit on the red carpet and be like Mr. Lithgow Mr. Lithgow would you like to come and talk to me it's for live with Kelly and Mark Mr. Lithgow Mindy Kaling Mindy Kaling will you come and say hi to us um and then they edit all the interviews together and they played it um the next day on live with uh Kelly and Mark which is a

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the fantasy team pothole?
tiff what's up hey cordell patterson or or mostert tiff what are you feeling all right so we so you're saying that we can contact tiffany gomez and put her in charge of you no actually that was a joke don't do it i'm like attempting to stay married i don't want to have a relationship with tiffany gomez i'm a fan of hers i i am a fan of hers from afar hey guys i'm not even joking like really like
trouble with marriages, no Tiffany Gomez, please. Fun to be on Twitter, but let's keep it at that. Okay, but you're the one who brought it up. You know, guys, I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, you know, I paid for one-third of that very expensive fantasy buy-in. Yeah. And I don't know if you recall, but my wife called into the show before the season. We were going to redo our
driveway yep um we lost had to pay the one-third um let's can plug a picture of my driveway what it looked like what i draw i think about fantasy every time i drive over this in my driveway it's not a joke that because um that's good that makes you hungry yeah You're always going over it. And every time it hits my car and it fucks with my suspension, I think, I've got to do better.
I've got to do better.
Yeah. And again, I know we kind of cut out there for a second, but all we're trying to do is get us better as an organization, as a team. You're taking it as a personal slight, when in reality, this is all... If we're popping champagne week 17 next year and... uh, Ian Rapport or Shefty or Tiffany Gomas is, uh, in the middle management role. Will the champagne taste any like, like less sweet?
I don't think so.
Yeah, it will. I just don't feel like having to talk to Teddy Brewski every Sunday morning and asking him to set the lineups because you guys took access away from me to set lineups. I just, it's, Just don't do it to me, guys. You know what? I actually looked up some stuff, okay? I'm going to give you some stats here.
Okay. All right.

Chapter 8: What new features do Fast Growing Trees offer for spring?
Yeah, I think so. Right. I mean, there is a part of it that you can feel. I mean, there's a couple of these guys. They feel like you're going to break your hand. So it definitely leaves an impression. I mean, if you give me that limp, you know, handshake, I'm not a big fan of that. I mean, what do you guys think?
Yeah, I mean, definitely. On the other hand, it's kind of become like an arms race. Everyone ever since people were like, oh, yeah, Adrian Peterson, he'll break your hand off. I feel like guys go into the handshake now thinking about really squeezing and it's not like a natural squeeze. It's like, I'm gonna try to impress him with my grip strength right now.
Is that what you guys do? Well, so I'm dealing with an issue for the last three months. I have a broken pinky. And so every time I shake someone's hand, it's like I'm just like it's a 50-50 shot whether they'll hit the right spot where I'm just like screaming in pain internally. But I also don't want to give a bad handshake. So I go in strong.
That I mean, what would you grade me if I if we were in the combine?
I was like, hey, listen, honestly, I would probably transition to a half dap kind of bro. I do try to tap a little bit more, but that way that it's still not impersonal. But I mean, I've been in those situations where you get some of those handshakes and it sends a shockwave through your whole fucking body.
Right. And then I have that. And I judge myself. If I give a bad handshake, I'm upset at myself. And it sticks with me for a little bit where I'm like, man, I fucked that up. And that guy probably thinks I'm such a pussy.
What's the last time when you thought that yourself and then you felt the other guy thinking that same exact thing? Oh, yeah.
You do the look away because you know that you screwed it up.
yeah now you can't even make eye contact because he's thinking you're a pussy too yeah right exactly i judge mostly based on the clamminess of the handshake that's like how much moisture is is on the other end of it because that tells you that the palms don't lie it's like you can squeeze as hard as you want but if you're sweating i know that you're a little bit nervous i if i was a prospect i would just go in for a hug and a kiss with the coach yeah i'll just be like strong come here give me a smooch give me a quick kiss um all right hey that's certainly leaving an impression
