The Hockey Show: Fit Check

We have a Friday Postgame Show as a bonus for the week's content, and it is LOADED. We kick things off with an insightful and emotional interview from 'Tony Tunite' as Tony chats with MMA star Uly "Monster" Díaz at El Palacio de los Jugos right here in Miami. Then, the crew is divided on their interest level in the new Aaron Rodgers documentary on Netflix. Is it an interesting football comeback story if the comeback wasn't actually successful?

The entire conversation between Dan and Mike put Andrew Hawkins in an increasingly uncomfortable spot. Then, Taylor had the news that Bill Belichick interviewed with North Carolina three days ago...SO WHY DIDN'T HE BREAK THE NEWS? Plus, Lane Kiffin's comments on the CFP have Mike fired up and spark yet another debate between Mike and Jessica over the merits of this year's playoff teams. Learn more about your ad choices.

Then, Dan wonders if any athlete can ever really exceed the expectations we set for them on Day 1 of their professional careers.

Today's cast: Dan, Stugotz, Izzy, Chris, Jeremy, Jessica, and Tony. Dan made a huge mistake yesterday: NOT exploring more within Jessica and her dad's relationship while watching Notre Dame games together.

Then, Stugotz leaves to go talk to the QB who beat Miami this weekend, Dan is frustrated with the Shipping Container for rummaging through gifts sent to the studio for him, and, despite our best efforts, we end up discussing the College Football Playoff AGAIN. Plus, the Miami Heat blew out LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers. Izzy and Jeremy discuss whether this was more about the Lakers ineptitude or Tyler Herro and the Heat figuring some things out.

There's only one Jim Rome... and he's never cared if you love him or hate him because he knows if you have a take and don't suck, he “can still go hard.” Things are bound to get wild when The Jungle meets South Beach Sessions. Dan and Jim get together in Los Angeles to reflect on Jim's career as a pioneering game changer in a way he hasn't talked publicly about before. Jim gets personal, talking about what it was like growing up as a try-hard sports nerd and getting his start in radio, then realizing he wouldn’t ever want to do anything else. He also opens up about keeping true to his blunt and honest voice from the very beginning, the cost and regrets of being in the brutal business for decades (and the people he's pissed off along the way), and why his longtime audience is as loyal as they come. Watch Jim Rome's "The Jungle" LIVE daily on X from 9AM to 1PM PT / 12PM - 4PM ET and look for his FAST channel across streaming platforms including Amazon FreeVee, Plex, and Samsung TV Plus.
