"Me, apparently. I think this is a good life. There's only been maybe 5 or 6 presidents. You gotta just shoot in the dark, you'll probably get one of them. After each mission, you go to The White House and do a thing with the presidents and it just blurs in with all the rest. Yeah, I'm sure. When you were in space, you mentioned you took at the time, I guess music on CDs. Yes. Do you take a lot of them? You had about 15 CDs. I still have them. I'm going to actually give them to the children's museum to put on display as a part of the exhibit. Doctor Wolfe is the scientist in residence at the legendary children's museum of Indianapolis, one of the most famous children's museums in the world. People come from all over the place to see it. And I know you guys are building a gigantic space display that will actually feature if I'm correct, it will feature the famous Gus Grissom capsule, the ones all the time. Yes, it will have the liberty bell 7 on display in their liberty bell 7. Mercury capsule. We have the controversy. Did he blow the hatch early or not? It was determined in the end that he did. But I think it was on display, I want to say about 20 years ago at the museum. It was when they first now it's been totally restored and they find it. Well, that was robotic activity under sea robotics. You know, kind of like the Titanic was discovered and all that. They finally kind of like, you know, the guy on the beach with the little minesweeper. She remembered how Gus Gus got out as it was filling with water. And then the helicopter came out and was trying to save the capsule. I remember this drowning. Right. Yeah, but the capsule was dragging the helicopter and they had to let it go. It started. But he's drowning 20 feet over his suit is filling with water. And too heavy and boy, was he mad. Not bad. You know, my office made it NASA walked on the moon, John young. He was my office mate for 15 years at NASA. They put the older astronauts in the young ones together, and he knew Gus pretty well. Flew with him in Gemini. Until gas was killed in Apollo one, Gus likely would have been the first man on the moon. Had he not died in the test on Apollo one, but in any case, I play Gus played handball, turns out my office mate told me. I play handball every night at the astronaut Jim. And apparently there's a lot of expletives that come out there. It's kind of a private gym. I would imagine. Apparently I've heard. And in any case, he said I haven't heard that kind of concussion come out of that court since Gus played there. I'll bet. He's got some Purdue man. He was. And there's Grissom hall that just was reopened two weeks ago. Completely reinvented industrial engineering school at Purdue. Mitchell, Indiana. Mitchell and I just went down to his house a month ago. It's very humble to say the least. All these kids living in this

"Obviously, I was with you in terms of the fight itself, obviously incredibly back and forth. What volk did with the defense of wrestling to kind of keep Islam at bay, but with what Islam was able to do with his striking to kind of really take the fight to volkanovski, both fighters showed elements of their game that we knew were there going into the fight, but we really knew how to be displayed, and they displayed it tenfold. So I think sure Islam did enough to get his hand raised. You could call him the number one fighter in the world as far as little pound for pound argument. That whole thing, by the way, the pound for pound argument was at one point, especially us working to combat sports media. At what point it was like really fun. And now it's all like God. It's almost like you dread it because now it's like not even fun to debate anymore because there's so many little there's so many there's so many variables and deciding factors. You're like, what are we even talking about here anymore? What's the criteria? But if you're just going off a straight eye test, if you want to go off a resume and accomplishment, Islam won the fight, he should be number one. It should be number one. But on my eyes, there is to my eyes and I know to a lot of the eyes of a lot of other people who watch this sport who consume the sport. There is not a better fighter on earth today as far as the well rounded skill set and the ability to adapt to any situation at two different way classes now than Alexander volkanovski. Yeah, I think we're seeing a fighter. I think he's the skilled fighter and mixed martial arts. I have to see John. And we'll get to that momentarily right, because that's the second division. And he's the best guy the best ever do it. Yeah. And I'm not discounting him. You can't being the greatest fighter I've ever seen. So I still agree with that. Even with volk, I still say Jones is the greatest fighter ever seen because of the, for one, the sheer resume. Yeah. Good luck for anybody, even though like we said, the next big thing is going to be coming soon at MMA where it blows everyone away. But that doesn't mean the resume, like LeBron that we talked about in basketball, LeBron obviously, as far as those attributes blows a lot of the Jordan era guys away and even the guys who proceed to him. But LeBron is still a very much an uphill battle because the championship resume still at least in some people's eyes. We've talked about it a lot, but do a lot of people doesn't stack up. So even that doesn't have that problem. Exactly. Even if you have guys to the eye that look like, oh, he reminds me of a lot of the things that John Jones brought to the table at one point. Good luck ever getting to the mountain top the way he did because what this, again, it was Hall of Famer. The title at like 22. Yeah. To be able to do it. Enter the conversation. I'm not sure when we see that again. It's like a champion 22 23. And then you can't have a fall off. His fall offs have been all outside the octagon. When he's on his own on his own court, yeah. When he's in there, what? He's had a close fight and people were like, well, Dominick Reyes could have been. He didn't. Now you're penalizing the guy for even having closer. We talked about Daniel Cormier, probably being one of the three greatest fighters to ever walk the face of the earth. It wasn't even close. God had kicked it down. And the first fight got waxed because the gas tank Jones was frigging just tore throughout the room with the wrestling. When it was insane, it was mind-blowing. When he is focused and he's up for it. Yeah. There's no one like that. Like everyone loved the Gus fight, and that first Gus fight is like, oh my God, this is the best title fight in UFC history. Him versus Gustafson the second fight. This ran through him. Yeah, but this was a rematch of the greatest title fight ever. Yeah, when he's BSing and he's partying, he's doing John Jones shit. Yeah. Maybe you catch him on and off that. When he is focused, yeah, there's nothing like that. And that's why even though he may lose that quote unquote focus after all those comeback stints in the comeback stint, he still takes care of business. Every time he is return of the octagon, even with the no contest, the D.C. was just ruled after the fact. He is taking care of the business in the way he needed to, often in dominant fashion, so if we're right here on the topic anyway, it's what are you feeling against gone? What do you feel against? Obviously Cyril that won the one thing he brings to the table is probably better than anyone in that division in particular. But again, we're talking about a guy who is like what volk does now. He made a whole career of it against Hall of Famers using what you do against you. To his advantage and to your disadvantage, that bounce that that speed that striking sophistication, that Cyril gone brings to the octagon, Jon Jones can easily scoop that against them, swing the whole fight next and you know, Don doesn't have an answer, especially with the clinch work in the wrestling. Heavyweight's a different beast, right? People don't defend the title more than twice. No. So the odds say you're going to get caught by something. Eventually. If John doesn't, he's the most spectacular. Fighter I've ever seen. Going into this, I saw Cyril gone, get out wrestled. By Francis my friend, the man had no kneecaps. He had no knees. Got out wrestled by Ngannou. I mean, unless John Jones completely gases and doesn't handle the weight well. I see no way. And he'll try to stand with Cyril and you might get caught and touched up early. When he switches it on and goes to the clinch, he wants to wrestle Cyril gone. He has over zero answer for John Jones. And the thing about John Jones is he's not a nice person. He is. He's got that Terrence Crawford aspect. He's mean, he likes to hurt you in the case. He when there's something to prove, when people are doubting him, when someone talks shit to him, and it's personal, he is not a nice person. He is going in there to hurt his opponent to finish them and to make a statement. I think he chokes Sarah out and two? Yeah. And it's not to discount serial. It's a bad match. I'm with you. The only thing would be the rust, the him not taking care of his body. And the heavyweight asshole. And I don't even think I think he's been waiting so long. I don't even think that's a factor. He has to get caught and knocked out to lose. That's what I'm more so mean by the heavily. Not so not him carrying the way more so the chin. Can the shin karaoke ask and knock out to lose? I'm not even sure if he puts himself in position to do that. How often has he ever been hurt anyway? It doesn't hasn't happened a whole lot. No, I mean, he took the punch. And certain fights it's happened in doses, but it's always in those fights. It's never like, if you look at his career collectively, he tore up machida. He tore up rampage. He tore up Vitor. He tore up shogun. He tore up all those guys early on without taking any damage. He tore up D.C. the first time, actually got caught a couple times by D.C. in the second fight that was scratched off, and then obviously raised caught him a few times, who was it, Thiago had actually the fight of his life probably against Santos against him. So yeah, you can catch him, but he's never really kind of had that thing where he's been through consistent wars.

It's just going to populate right there for you. That is amazing right into the football fantasy. Focus football podcast feed so earlier in the show. We talked about lately on bell signed with the baltimore ravens maybe eventually becoming the urging running back on the active roster for now he's on the practice squad well for now we also know it's the gusts bus show in baltimore as gus. Edwards is the undisputed starting running back going into the season math along those lines. How high does he. Climbing your rankings. In week one matchup right here on. Espn monday night. Football against the las vegas raiders. i'm at eighteen. I'm the highest on him among all of our ranker's but i'm worried honestly that i'm not high enough. This is a really good match. I think he scores okay. I'm just. I'm just call that right. Now i think he scores a touchdown pass. Catchers of the ravens are a bit banged up here. They have a behind gus edwards. They haven't inexperience guy. Tyson williams to your point lane bell is still on the practice squad even if they activate him for this game hard to see him getting into the game other than maybe a player to my expectation is lean on gus edwards in a road game monday night football that he gets a big workload and a good matchup scores a touchdown i think he scores at least one. So honestly i'm at eighteen. And i might be too low. Yeah i have them at a one thousand. Nine cam. hasn't twenty-one mike. What i'm most interested in is. Why do hate gus edwards. Oh no no. I wanna see whether or not they get him involved the passing game it all this weekend and that's the concern for me as well with edwards which is why we're not higher on him right. Look at this. You look at greg. Roman play collar and you look at his seven seasons as a play caller in the nfl. Six of his running back. Units top ten in rushing yards and touchdowns. That's pretty telling actually both baltimore. Offenses were top six in those categories. None of the seven were top. Twenty and running back targets. None of that is a trend. And we've seen time and time again with greg. Roman at that changes this season with jk dobbins out of there right. There was some swirling. Maybe they would throw more to that position but without dobbins. I don't think that happens. However we're talking about a lot of positives here with gus edwards. A high scoring offense a really. Good up against the raiders. Defense we expect a struggle certainly early in the season and look edwards has been really good right. he's been around since two thousand eighteen. You went undrafted. He is second in yards per carry at five point. Two in the entire. Nfl among running backs of course during that span. So something's not like. Mpp are the lack of targets it is going to limit him a little bit of a mid range tobacco rb to non. I certainly feel a little better about. The bottom. line is a v. scores. You're in business if not it could be trouble. There implied team. Total is twenty eight points. When you look at the over unders and again we expect them to be up in this game. We expect them to be running. Edwards has nine career games. He's gotten fifteen or more touches in those games. He's averaging over ninety three yards a game over five yards per carry. I think he gets big workload here. I think he scores a touchdown on monday night. I'm making. I'm pushing my vegas pushing my trips to the middle on that one gus edwards gets into the end zone on monday night. All right so the rams have a couple of running backs this year. They've got a potential new starting running back. I should say daryl henderson and it also certainly michelle acquired in a trade earlier. This training camp. Would you start either of these players against the bears in week. One through a pretty good bears defense for the most part. And this rams offense that we think it's going to be very very good matthews operate under center but it could be very very good because they throw for like five thousand yards and thirty five passing touchdowns. Yeah i mean. The bears always play the rams tough. It feels like you know over over the years. And and so i would i start them obviously depends on your options. I've henderson twenty six. I've sony michelle at thirty four. So if i'm picking one rams running back right now. It's henderson the expectation here. Is that henderson's involved in the passing game here again i have ms mid tier flex so probably not see how this tough match-up let's see how this plays out because we're still not really sure what this rotations going to look like. We think henderson over michelle but to your point we think michelle gets the goal line work. We think he gets short yardage stuff. It could be henderson just as the third down back. So let's see how this plays out the one thing. I'll say on henderson. Is that if there's a guy that can break a big play. I think it's more likely to be henderson than sony. Michelle and if they can't run the ball between the tackles..
