Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Welcome to today on friday morning. We have willie in for matt.

The investigators are looking at the Text Messages with his wife during the actual shooting. We have nbcs Stephanie Gosk with more on. This good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah. The shooting lasted nearly four hours. We are learning that during that time in between firing his semiautomatic rifle at innocent club goers, omar mateen was posting on facebook and calling and sending Text Messages. Including the exchange with his wife. New images show the quiet horror. Survivors huddled in the bathroom. The shooting at pulse had just begun. According to a source noor salman, she said she texted to his after 2 00 a. M. Do you see what is happening. No, i love you babe. The deadliest mass shooting in u. S. History. Salman was with mateen days before when he bought ammunition. According to a source, they were at a walmart and she was with their 3yearold boy in the toy department. The owner of the Florida Gun Store lotus gun works said he refused to sell body armor and ammunition to mateen weeks earlier. He alerted authorities, but Law Enforcement sources tell nbc news they were not contacted. Meanwhile, mateens troubled history is surfacing. As early as the third grade, teachers were concerned. One writes, he is verbally abusive, rude and much talk about sex and violence. Obscenities. Fifth grade. Opposition al. Lacks remorse. Years later in high school, mateen was charged with battery for a fight with a student. This letter mateen wrote explaining this was part of the job application with the Florida Department of corrections obtained by nbc news. The charges were dropped. Mateen called it the experience of me growing up and i learned a big lesson. As investigators try to nail down mateens motivation, president obama met with families on thursday. I held and hugged grieving family members and parents and they asked why does it keep happening. Reporter the survivors are paying tribute to First Responders who saved them. Like angel colon. He came in with a smile on his face. Happiness. I was so happy. I wanted to see the man that took me out of that horrible place. And the source close to mateens wife tellss that police were here at their condominium before the shooting was even over knocking on the door telling mateens wife to come out with her hands up. Since then, she has been cooperating and she is willing to take a polygraph, but so far they have not given her one. Guys, back to you. Stephanie, thank you. President obama was down in orlando, back on capitol hill, republican senator john mccain stirring controversy saying his actions led to the attacks. We have Hallie Jackson with more. Reporter trying to link him to donald trump who today will again be in texas. It is a state the presumptive nominee nomin, maa thinks he c. People say im not going to say who im voting for. Reporter defiant in dallas, donald trump says he is the best ally after new protests against him. Who is better for the Gay Community and who is better for women than donald trump . Reporter Hillary Clinton quickly responding tweeting hi. Trump rejecting critics who say he is unqualified. I have a thing called lots of common sense. Reporter democrats fighting back trying to paint gop lawmakers as trumps puppets. Pointing to the rhetoric like comments from john mccain. Effectively blaming president obama for the orlando shooting. Barack obama is directly responsible for it. When he pulled everybody out of iraq, al qaeda went to syria and became isis. Reporter it took an hour for mccain to walk it back. He bears responsibility. I want to be clear. Are you back tracking . Im not back tracking on anything. Reporter mccain said he will back the nominee in november. And House Speaker paul ryan said not all republicans have to support trump. Telling chuck todd they should vote their conscious. This is a unique nominee. I feel as a responsibility institutionally as the speaker of the house. Reporter ryan with his own message to trump after the advice to party leaders. Please be quiet. Dont talk. Republicans either stick together or let me do it by myself. You cant make this up. I will say we represent a separate, b equal branch of government. Now trumps rivalries look ready to heat up. Bernie sanders plans to inten intensify his fight against the gop nominee. And the fight over gun control looks ready to heat up with the senate ready to take up a couple of amendments on monday. Paul ryan and a lot of republicans tap dancing around trump. Hallie, thank you. Lets bring in chuck todd, moderator of meet the press. Good morning. Good morning. I listened to your interview with paul ryan. He called trump a unique nominee and puts republicans in a strange situation. He said members can vote conscious, but he will vote with the nominee. What do we make of this . Look, he is acknowledging the obvious which is right now it looks like donald trump is not the most helpful nominee for republicans down the ticket. He knows that every republican is basically getting close to every republican for themselves. He said at end of the day, he makes the best decision as elected leader of the house. Not as Congress Member ryan, but speaker ryan. He understands that every republican may have to make the best decision for their state. You say it any way without saying i cant run with donald trump is essentially what he is saying. Chuck, on wednesday night, donald trump said republicans criticizing him, please dont talk. Be quiet. If i have to go it alone without the rnc or establishment, ill be just fine. He was right about that in the primary. Is he right about that in the general . He is not. I understand why he wants them to stop talking. The more public the divide, the tougher it is for trump to raise money. Right now, he is on a sort of cramming issue trying to raise as much money by the end of the july. That is why he is in georgia and texas and arizona rather than swing states. He is in big money communities. I tell you, the money is not coming in fast. Thats the problem. The more you hear ryan and mcconnell and other senators wringing their hands about trump, more donors are wringing their hands. Lets talk about Hillary Clinton. I know you think this is significant. She has a significant ad buy on air. Why do you think this is an important time to do this . This is sort of the july and summer break and Summer Holidays and two conventions. The olympics in august. This is one of these important two or three week periods where you sort of where the race is at the end of june is where the race will be on labor day. If you recall four year ago, barack obama unloaded on mitt romney in the period before the convention. Set a baseline and romney never recovered. This time romney actually had money to fight back on television. Hillary clinton is up by herself. Trump, the republicans, no one is countering this. She will be up by herself for two weeks. There are negative ads on him and positives on her. It could make it where he would be in a hole he cannot dig out. Chuck todd, thanks so much. You can see more of the interview with paul ryan this sunday on meet the press. Another big story breaking. Diplomats breaking ranks with the president calling for air strikes against the syrian government. Richard engel is in istanbul this morning. Richard, this is remarkable to have a break with the president from his own administration. I think it expresses the deep frustration that is even within the state department about the current u. S. Policy in syria. Dont forget 400,000 people had been killed in this fiveyear conflict. There is a dissent channel in which state Department Employees register opposition. What is unusual is that more than 50 mostly mid level state Department Employees choose to use this dissent channel to say they want a different policy. They want more military pressure put on the assad government. Then that dissent was leaked to the media. It is something of a revolution within the state department whether it will change u. S. Policy seems unlikely. The issue is the policy does not preve prevent assad and russia from killing civilians. Unless pressure is put on assad, this bloodshed will continue. Thank you, richard engel. Back at home, disney world will add more alligator warning signs at the resorts. We are hearing this morning from the parents. We have nbcs Gabe Gutierrez with more. Gabe, good morning. Good morning. Disney has not expressed how many signs will be put up. The medical examiner said the toddler di from traumatic injuries after drowning. This morning, disney world says it will beef up warnings signs following the death of 2yearold lane graves. A Prayer Service in the nebraska hometown. His family saying words cannot describe the shock and grief we are devastated. The last gator related injury at disney world was 30 years ago. Today, Paul Santa Maria still has the scars. It thrashed me around side to side. Reporter last year, david heiden said two alligators chased his son. Im not from florida. I dont know there are gators everywhere. Reporter disney world had a number of signs warning not to swim, but no alligators. Other signs warned guests not to feed the wildlife. We only saw one mentioning alligators. Disney said we closed all of our beaches and made a decision to add signage. We will have a swift review of processes. And this family live near the park. She is photographed plenty of gators. If there is water in florida, intere theres a gator. Reporter they defend disney. It clearly struck a nerve with parents across the country. The minute i heard they couldnt find him.

Sexual partners and pregnant women who have the zika virus are to practice safe sex.

The alligator attack at disney world is putting a spotlight on the gators in florida and how dangerous they can be. Nbcs Kerry Sanders went out with trappers last night. Reporter good morning, willie. If there is a fresh body of water, assume there is a gator in it. They get too close to people or pet which are deemed to be nuisance alligators. Last year, the trappers that go out for the state, captured 7,513 nuisance gators. This is how they do it. It is a precarious business. One wrong step could be deadly. For three generations, the family has been trapping alligators in florida. The preferred method is a fishing rod and hook to snag a gator and drag to shore. On this night, a monster. A 13footer. Thats the death roll. Let him roll on up. Let him roll on up. Reporter this wild gator is almost 1,000 pounds. So big, the team tracked it ashore with the pickup truck. Now climbing on its back and covering its eyes to calm it down. Youre not scared . Hearts beating. I respect them. I dont know if scareds the right word. Respect for these guys. Reporter as the sun sets, alligators begin to stir. They are Nocturnal Animals that need to eat once a week to survive. The mosquitoes are swarming and theres a tremendous amount of tension. Every splash, every movement on the water, could be a gator. Was that a gator . That was a bull frog. Sounds like a gator. Reporter this is the sound of an alligator broadcast to lure them to trappers. Its mating season which experts say makes the gators more aggressive. That may explain why the gat or after sunset. At disney, there are no swimming signs, but there are no signs warning of the gators. I think they should have signs everywhere. Do you think it is irresponsible they did not . I dont think so. Reporter disney now plans to post gator signs. In the last two days as many as seven gators have been captured on the lake where the toddler has killed. Bait lines are set to see if there are anymore. So if you worked at disney, would there be any way to control the gator population to make it safe for people . No. You know, i say no because they are in the wild. Reporter it is estimated there are 1. 5 million gators in florida. The population controlled by a yearly hunt. It is smart to have a healthy respect for a lake, pond or ditch because there could be a gator lurking. State statistics show since 1948, 23 people have been killed by alligators. Sadly now, guys, 24. Gator trapping is a dangerous business. Kerry, thank you. We have dylan dreyer here with us for al. We have the wildfires in southern california. These are sundowner winds. They are similar to santa ana winds. As they rush down the mountain, they heat up and dry out. You have the dry conditions and it is not as windy as yesterday, but gusts near 20 to 25 miles per hour. Temperatures will also heat up. By saturday, 86 degrees. By sunday, along with the gusty winds, temperatures up around 96 degrees. Taking a look at the dangerous heat in the southwest. The hottest in tucson, 117 degrees. We are close to that by sunday with the forecast high of 116. In phoenix, 122 is the record. We are close to that on sunday with 119. Possibly 120. In las vegas, it will be hot, i dont think we will break the record. We should at least get up to 109 by the time we get into sunday. Elsewhere across the country. We have a couple of spotty thunderstorms across the northern plain. Unsettled across the southwest. Still some of the thunderstorms will produce dangerous lightning. We could see brief gusty winds and small hail alo it will be slightly warmer today and we are already in the low 60s in parts of the bay area, like the east bay as well as the south bay. Mostly cloudy skies in spots and sun peeking out in others. Well be up to 70 in San Francisco with a breezy wind in the east bay. 78 in the trivalley reaching into the low 80s. Into the weekend, we will have warming trend up to 90 on sunday. 90s stick with us for the start of next week. And thats your latest forecast, willie and savannah. All right, dylan. Thank you. Now to that new documentary on o. J. Simpson filled with revelations about the simpson murder case. A lot of people talking about this. Absolutely. Good morning, guys. This is actually the anniversary of the infamous o. J. Bronco case. It happened 22 years ago today. Despite all that passage of time, the documentary airing right now on espn still manages to reveal chilling new details. O. J. Made in america is the latest course in seemingly e endless feast about the simpson saga, a critically acclaimed documentary over eight hours long divvied up over five nights hailed a masterpiece. One of the things weve learned this year is that even a story as as well and often told as the o. J. Simpson case theres a lot more to run. The people versus o. J. Simpson. His Nonfiction Book was turned into this years popular tv series on fx. Your exwife, nicole simpson, has been killed. Im so sorry. That program featured actors the espn documentary centers on real people like friend ron shipp who says simpson refused to take a Lie Detector Test from police after ron goldman and his wife were murdered. They asked me to take a lie deterkts test. I told them no. What do mine you told them no . To be truthful, shipp, i have had dreams of killing her. The documentary is unflin unflinching revealing photos never before seen at the crime scene too graphic for us to show. And we spoke to carl simpson on simpsons socalled dream team. The viewer can appreciate the reasons why a jury decided the prosecution had failed to prove its burden of finding mr. Simpson guilty. Race plays a pivotal role in this series, the civil rights role and rodney king riots serve as backdrops about a football star who distanced himself from racial politics. The documentary illustrates the central paradox of the o. J. Simpson story, is that o. J. Himself did everything he could to try to be seen as a nonracial figure. But the story of his acquittal is the story of how his defense team used race to o. J. s tremendous benefit. Marcia clark gave us a statement saying this documentary provides what is perhaps the most profound examination of the history of Race Relations in los angeles in any medium. The series tells the truth about the context in which the Simpson Trial took place and it is far and away one of the most riv riveting, moving and honest pieces i have ever seen. The fourth installment airs tonight. Its just now starting to get into the infamous trial of the century which tells you how much there is to say about o. J. s life. A rave review from marcia clark and she was the person at the center of it. Thanks. Coming up, what alecia keys is making her fans do at her concerts.

Major news in the fight against cancer, a large scale trial of the drug keytruda ending early because its showing great promise, treating people with advanced lung cancer. Dr. Natalie azar is here with us. How big a deal with this is for people with cancer . This is a huge deal, willie, for people with what we call nonsquall cell lung cancer, the most common type of lung cancer. Keytruda has approval to treat this lung cancer as a second line therapy, meaning after you tried and failed conventional therapy, this trial looked at it compared to standard. First line therapy, and the study praarticipants did so wel they had to discontinue the trial early because it would be unethical to continue to not give all the patients the study drug. This is the same drug, is it not, former president jimmy carter was using and said it helped him with melanoma and shrunk the tumor in his brain . Its the medicine that allows your immune system to attack cancer cells. Cancer cells can be very tricky and evade your bodys immune system. The medicine allows your body to take a break and allows your body to fight cancer itself. This could be very exciting for Cancer Patients watching our show this morning. What kind of Cancer Patients should be thinking about this treatment . Thats important. Not every Single Person with this type of cancer will be a candidate for this therapy. They tested the patients chancer to make sure that it has on its surface the particular cell that the drug targets. We think 25 of patients with this nonsmall lung cancer do have that and theoretically make the drug more efficacious in those people. Exciting because this could be a first treatment before chemotherapy. In other words, you might not have to do chemo. Thats right. This could be practicechanging. For people with this type of small lung cancer, we should say there can be serious side effects associated with all medicines, immunotherapy is considered generally much more tolerable than conventional chemotherapy. Potentially exciting news. Very exciting. Very exciting. Thank you so much. Now to dylan with a look at the weather. We have a few showers in washington, d. C. And maryland. Yesterday, we had 200 reports of wind damage because of some of the storms we saw yesterday. Now, it will continue to slide to the south and see a few scattered showers and storms in savannah, georgia, then moving into northern florida. None should be very severe. And we could see downpours leading to brief flash flooding and onshore winds and lead to rip currents in the southeast. Were starting out with a mix of sun and clouds, and we are looking at some warmer temperatures later on this afternoon. We will have some temperatures up to 83 degrees in the trivalley and the east bay. Also looking at some 70s. Mid70s for the peninsula and 76 degrees in the north bay. A mix of sun and clouds in San Francisco with a high of 70 degrees. Now, it will be fairly mild today, but our temperatures will be warming up this weekend. Inland valleys will be hitting the low 90s by sunday. Thats your latest forecast. Dylan, thank you so much. Time for whats trending today. Were going to play a game of cups. Just kidding. This is freshman year of college. No. Who does not love fastfood, convenient and delicious, not all created equal. There can be huge calorie differences in the same foods from different chains.

Now, to what may be the future of concerts, a lot of performers including alicia keys embracing a new technology to encourage phonefree shows. Introducing the yonder. A pouch that locks your smartphone inside. Concertgoers are given one when they show up. You can hang onto it all night but cant open it yourself. If you want to use your phone, you have to walk back outside the venue and tap it on a metal disk to unlock it. I guess shes tired of People Holding up their phones an recording. I get the sentiment. Live and let live. If you want to ruin the concert by looking through a little phone the whole time, go ahead. Videos never turn out. So, its not like youre ruining everything. I just per for, for security reasons, i would want to have access to my phone. Yeah. Whatever. We will speak with alicia keys next week. So im going to go with, that is genius.

I finally bought a home two years ago after pouring money into the rental market. But i did buy a 1994 ford bronco when i was in college, and we were inseparable. Yeah. A really good blow dryer. In this business, thats like as important as your pen and pad. Okay . Finally, its friday, weve got this just kidding just kidding. Natalie. I got nothing. I got nothing. Dont even go there. No [ laughter ]. You can have a shot of tequila or take a fishbowl question. A shot of tequila. Every time. Lets get to pop story. We have a lot to get to. Lets start with amy schumer. The comedian gracing the cover of vogues july issue, and meeting with the head honcho, miss anna wintour. And the ladies decided to switch roles for a day. I could totally do what he does. I could do what you do. Which one of these . It shouldnt be a big decision. Are those not the same . No. No . Not at all. Yeah, i know. I just didnt know you knew. So then i said to her, you go first. [ laughter ] thats my time. But remember, winter is coming. Whoa anna wintour can do it all. We still love you, amy. You can find that july issue of vogue on newsstands on the 22nd of june. And now to hamilton. A change in casting. The writer and star Linmanuel Miranda has other projects in the works.

But javier, the understudy, hell be great. Great, thank you. Youre welcome. The today parents team life changes project is created with our sponsor, johnsons. Discovering wonders with parents and babies. Our today Parenting Team is celebrating fathers day a couple of days early today. We asked how fathers changed their lives and some are weighing in. Take a look. My life changed when i became a dad, when i looked in my daughters eyes, and i was like, oh, my gosh. Im responsible for this tiny human. I didnt know how much love my heart could hold. I didnt know. The life i led before is no more. Stst been replaced by a much better one. I was always a happy go lucky person, which i still am, but suddenly i realized i had a bigger mission. Being a dad, especially being a dad of girls, means being covered in glitter at all times. Im not a perfect dad, no question about that. Until they tell me to quit showing up, im just going to be as engaged as i can. I am the kind of dad who is wrapped around my little girls finger. And i dont see how thats going to change. I wanted to be a dad when i was 5. So, its better than anything. Better than a bagel with lox and cream cheese. My relationship with sleep is totally different now. Before, we were totally in love, me and sleep and now she doesnt even call me. I knew i was a dad when i was asked to coach basketball by my younger daughter, and i cant even make a layup. When i changed my first poopy diaper at 1 00 a. M. On a rainy afternoon we looked in the backseat of our car and went, were actually taking her home . I never knew how many dance moves i had until i became a dad. Hang on. Its okay. Its scary and terrifying, but awesome. Hey, i love you. I love you. One bit of advice i give to new dads is to slow down and enjoy the little wonders of life. They can teach you more on a single walk around the park than you probably can learn from 20 years of school. So look at them. Listen to them. Take them in. The most joyful moments for me of being a dad, i wake her up in the morning. Im the first one in there and so i see her, like, first smile in the morning. The joy we see when the five of them on occasion are all loving and helping and being part of kind of swimming in the same direction and pulling the same rope is awesome. I mean, its indescribable. When they take the first step, your heart is going to break. And then they get on the school bus, you think your heart is going to break. They get on a plane and go to europe by themselves and you think your heart is going to break. Really, your heart is not going to break for sad reasons, your heart is filled with joy. Going on a big big slide at an amusement park. Shes really afraid. I think, do you trust me . Shes like, you know what, daddy . I do trust you. We went wn the slide and afterwards she gave me a hug and said, daddy, im really glad you helped me. I was like, oh. 107 days in neonatal to a college graduate. Its like being on a magic carpet ride. An ideal fathers day, for me, it sounds so simple, but the day where were just together as a family. And have no distractions. They arent watching some Youtube Video or chatting with their friends. I think if theyre just hanging out with me, its a perfectly fine fathers day. Before, everything was 2d and now everythings in 3d. Everything sort of matters a little more. Blastoff whoo every day is fathers day for me. I know it sounds cheesy and corny, but it truly is. Beautiful. Yeah. Not a dry eye. We have two good daddies here at the table. Its really changed you, right, fatherhood . My daughter was born nine years ago this week. And you could feel it physically. The moment she appeared in that delivery room, your heart turned outward instead of inward. And in that moment, nothing else matters. I lost my dad when i was 5. And my mom remarried when i was 8. I had early lessons how important parenting is and blessed with two incredible fathers. By the time i had my first kid, i understood the fragility of life, number one, and the importance of fatherhood. Everything we do in a day somehow is geared towards that decision reflecting my family and kids. Its so awesome. We get to see you guys in action. Youre such active fathers. So patient and sweet. You look at dylan going to have her first kid, what she feels now we remember from our first. Just watching that, i cant wait for myself to feel, for brian to feel. Your life changes for the better. They say, you will be tired. Changes forever but for the better. Its just fun. Its fun. Almost every day. Almost every day. All right. Were back right after this, Opening Statement a very good morning to you. It is 8 26. Im laura garciacannon. Opening statements begin this morning in the criminal trial against pg e and the deadly pipeline explosion. A jury was selected yesterday. Eight people died. 38 homes were destroyed when a major pipeline ruptured back in 2010. The utility is now facing 12 separate criminal charges involving pipeline safety, including shoddy recordkeeping and failing to properly inspect its lines. There is also an obstruction of justice charge for allegedly lying to investigators. Pg e pleaded not guilty to all those charges. Lets check that morning commute. Is there one out there, mike . You know, not much of one, laura. What there was in the south bay as far as any big issues, looks like theyve cleared as well. North 87th slowed up near kurtner. There may be something going on on the shoulder. That may be the reason for more slowing going into downtown. Thats it. The rest looks very well. Southbound 101 at willow, we heard about a crash or debris, something blocking the fast lane, so a minor delay. The rest of the area, approaching the bay bridge, the maze is clear. Maybe slowing past the coliseum for the nimitz. The bay bridge toll plaza, look at this. Oh, yeah, good stuff. Back to you. Thats what i thought. Friday light sometimes, right . All right. Another local news update coming up in about half an hour. Hope you have a great friday. Dont you just love it hey pal . You ready . Can you pick me up at 6 30 . Ah. boy im here im here cop too late.

We cannot wait for that and he will do so in a couple of minutes. Id love to react to what you just said but i didnt hear a world of it because of the charlie puth nation out here. Well catch up, bill simmons made his mark on the sports world and now trying his hand on late night tv and pop culture and more in a second. First, a check on the weather. We are inching closer and closer to the weekend. Gorgeous in the northeast. Low humidity and temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. We look back in the Northern Plains, especially northern north dakota and montana, a chance we could see isolated stronger stores, scattered storms sunday and it will continue to move to the minneapolis area. It is all about the heat and hot and humid through the plains and midwest. It will feel its up around 100 and sunday especially in the southwest, we could be close to breaking all time record highs. The hottest ever good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. We have some low to mid60s already across the bay area. 64 degrees in San Francisco with mostly cloudy skies. Our temperatures are starting to warm up, also where we have a little bit more sunshine in the south bay. Now, the skies will be clearing in the north bay. Youre seeing a lot of clouds there now. It will be up to 76 degrees in San Francisco, 70 degrees, and some midtoupper 70s for the east bay and peninsula. South bay 80 degrees. Well also have low 80s for the trivalley and much hotter this weekend. Thats your latest forecast, carson. Thank you, dylan.

Sports writing, books, podcasts, documenta documentaries, bill simmons has done it all, not too shabby for a guy from boston who dreamed of having his own sports column. Now, hes adding even more to his impressive plate, called any wednesday take a look. Im bill simmons, heres what i believe. I believe in the four point line. I believe soup is the perfect food. I believe in this president ial pick. I believe every dicaprio movie would be just a little bit better as a matt damon movie. Bill simmons, good morning. Congrats on the show. So people know its not just a sports show. Soup is an important issue to address, matt damons talent is important to address. What do we expect . Little pop culture, where stuffs going type things. Im really about i love having conversations with people and the show is geared around that. Some stuff im writing. Were trying to figure out if the show is this wednesday night what the opener is and thought the win is in five and now last night, ooh, whatever happens sun night will determine the opener of the show. I dont know what will happen. Since you brought it up, what will happen. You go to a game sepp and probably didnt think it would last that far. Lebron goes nuts again and scores 41. I thought the gaime would en in five and draymond decided to get somebodys other region in play. They lose game five and lose game six. Iguodala is hurt now, the guy that normally guards lebron and Walking Around with a bad back and no andrew bogut. Im wondering can lebron do this . If he does, does he leave cleveland and say, thank you, i did what i said and moving to l. A. And now phase two. The first part of your show you dont know what you will do. You have guests books . Eventually i will know. The first guest is ben affleck, boston homey and charles barkley. Nice. We knew the nba finals would be leading up to it. The draft is the next day. The nba is my sport and that will be good. Who is your dream guest. You talked to the United States, went to the white house and interviewed him. You talked to larry bird, your hero. Where do you go after those two g guys . I hate the dream guest thing because anybody watching this not the dream guest, theyll be like, screw him. Any dead person would be a dream guest. Because of the ratings. Im intrigued with michelle ob, talking about girls and sports and things like that things she cares about i care about because i have an 11yearold daughter that plays soccer. I think that would be good, we can have a conversation. Im all for like who can i click with. I think my booker you guys have bookers . We sure do. Sometimes my bookers get a little frustrated and like, really . I just dont see it and somebody else, that one, thats a good one, lets do that one. It really depends who you will click with. A rot lot of people know you because you spent many years with espn as a sportswriter. You left espn last year and a little bit controversial for those that dont recall. Willie was right in the middle of it. I worked with his sister for years. A wild family, very tough for all of us. What happened there . I mean, it seems like you might call it a personality conflict . See, i look at it the other way. I made it 14 years. Its a place that people that are outspoken or creative or frustrated creative people, theyre not really meant to be there for two decades. I look back and i think, like, seven years, eight years might have been probably the max. To get 14 and you did some great stuff, created 30 for 30 and created grantland, stuff we did on espn. Com, i look back it an and im amazed by all the stuff were able to do. This is a legal requirement, i have to read what the espn president said on his statement some comments you said on the Hollywood Reporter i know you said you regret it but some thought disparaged some of the employees there. I wasnt talking about the employees when i said it, which is the problem. Its fine. He said i severed our relationship with bill because of his repeated lack of respect for this company and more important the people who work here. Whats interesting about that, at grandlatland i had 50 people there and 27 of them are with me now. Stats dont lie. I will do a quick rapid fire round. Either or. Bigger boston sports god. Bird or brady . I think wrabrady at this poi. He has the four super bowls and deflategate has galvanized massachusetts and the surrou surrounding states behind him because its the us against them thing that makes boston so special. Thats big for you to say that given your bird thing. 90210 or Melrose Place . 90210. More longevity. Melrose place spawned off 90210. Better fake football coach any given wednesday, al pa economy pacino any given thursday or pacino had the great speech on any given sunday better than any coach taylor moment and had explosi explosions. Guacamole or macncheese . Thats your last question . I thought it was a hard one. Avocado. One of the things i like about being in l. A. Avocado overrated. Talking trash about avocado. I was going to talk trash about how you guys are number 1 again. I was going to congratulate you. Glad you brought it up. They just gave us three minutes. Abc cripples their 9 00 a. M. Show to make their 7 00 a. M. Show a tiny bit weaker, i didnt agree with that decision. Bill simmons. Were all happy now. Any given wednesday premiers next wednesday. Figure skating or gymnastics .

Welcome to today on this friday mornings, june 17th, 2016. A special day because charlie puth is playing on the plaza. Boy, does he bring a lot of people. A lot of people and screaming. I love it. He will be sitting with us in a few minutes for all your charlie puth fans and another song later on in our hour. Hes a jersey boy. Remember when he wfirst came on and was vowed to be this huge star and talked about going to the beach and digging in the sand. That song, he wrote just orga c organically, hanging out in jersey. You watch him, a huge talent. Can do it all. Al is on assignment. Our morning gem was what is this one . This is marvin gaye. Charlie and meghan train nor. Was there another song i missed . I love that song. Well talk to charlie in an a couple minutes. Lets start with the final moments of the nba, lebron james willing his team to victory. But star guard mvp steph curry was ejected in the final minutes of the game after losing his temper after getting his sixth foul, throws his mouth guard aapparently hit a fan and gets in a fans case, a little out of character for him, a pretty dude usually. It wasnt just any fan he hit with a mouth guard, the son of one of the Cleveland Cavaliers owners. What are the odds . He did go sorry. Of all the people, he hit that kid. He later apologized. His wife tweeted in and then deleted this, i lost all respect. This is absolutely rigged for ratings, or money i dont know which. And then later tweeted, sorry, heated in the tweeted in the heat of the moment and thought the foul calls were called late in the game. Theres always controversy conspiracy theater, did they force a game seven. The score was so clear the cavs outplayed them. This is what we were talking about today, youre right, matt, everyone believes, it is rigged, the team is against my team. When its your spouse, is it appropriate for you to go in on remember another saying my husband cant catch and throw the ball at the same time. Remember christina, willies beautiful wife, our friend, coming in today. Im with the wives on this one. Would you show up at joes work . This is his job. Youre passionate and more of a fan because of that. Youre passionate about your husband. Youre passionate about your husband and the team and want them to succeed. I dont know. Listen, i just think its hard to separate, like your heart is there with them in every way. That applies to regular life, too. Christinas heart is with willie on todays take. Christina has read things about willie and said, i will reply, and im like, dont do that. Dont engage. She said she tweeted in the heat of the moment. I can understanden eneand somet been that wife where you want to go off. You wanted to call joes job . That would be amazing. I would never do that. I think in this situation talking sports and fans, its a little different. He was fired up. You know steph didnt want that and will be asked about it and a conspiracy, and they had a talk. You cant accuse my employer i love it. Next up on our list of things, we showed you a great foul ball catch. We often show them and yesterday we did one as well. Here is one im told is even more. This is real. Philadelphia yesterday, the phillies and Toronto Blue Jay game, a dad caught a foul ball holding not just a child but a plate of food and a nacho. Not a chach nacho, a tray of nachos. I am more impressed with the child having great confidence in her father. She didnt even get out of her seat. Its days before fathers day, ply mom is watching and he is not going to drop me. This is my dad. Hes so casual, hold s that hand up late, i got this. Dad of the year. Speaking of dad of the year, we have a great dad of the year, dad of many many years, dad of five, sunday, of course, fathers day. Jim is here with us now. Hes here now . What a surprise were talking top guests for fathers day. Ive only been here three days in a row. You cant get rid of me. Thats why we keep bringing you back. We want to talk top gifts with you. Top gifts. For fathers day. Im desperately looking for that top gift right now and i think a lot of people are in the crunch. I think for fathers day, what im hoping that my children will leave me alone. I know that sounds horrible, i joke, whatever they do. Amazing, a little kid, they have no money, no income. Right. And they will make you junk. Theyre horrible artists. You act like you enjoy it and you love it, right. What do you do with their artwork . I throw it away, and crumple it right in front of them and go, garbage, get back to work you throw it away . No. Ill hold on to it and hand to it my wife and it will sit on the table for a week and then you dont put it under covers or anything like that . Thats only for good stuff. Well have some stuff up. Your general feeling about fathers day. We kind of down play it in our house. I feel mothers day is the big deal and fathers day is the throw away. What are you saying . Maybe its just me. The guys home, yeah yeah. Fathers day is not like any dad looks at whatever sunday it is and goes, oh, finally, fathers day. Finally, i can its a strange thing because its a maid up holiday but all holidays are made up, right . There is a certain aspect you sit there and you go, hey, is fathers day important . Yes. Maybe not as important as cinco de mayo. Its a good day. A margarita and gift and card. I think obviously not to get too sappy, its the most important thing we will do, right, if you have children, its like its not like you can you cant suck at it. Thats true. If you drop the ball, its over. Or if you drop the kid at a baseball game. Thats right. Its over. That guy, that was planned. Oh, no how did they orchestrate that. First of all, that was a fake baby. The ball was already in his hand. Like if you slow down the footage, he just has the ball. Okay. See, look at this. Narrate this for us. Yeah. They just cut to that was edited video. That baby that kid is sohn onto his shirt. It wasnt that impressive. Do that with five kids. There you go. Right . There you go. Youre a great dad just for keeping track of your children. With five of them in a new york apartment, how do you do it . I dont do it very well. Look at that im creating my own nationality. Its going well so far. Theres some random guy, thats my lover. Thats school of rock. That school of rock was amazing. What are the ages of your kids . 12, 10, 7, 5, 3. You just made those up. You wouldnt know otherwise. A lottery number. How do you keep track of the numbers . People ask me how old are your sons . 10 and 2. No, wait. Thats wrong. A certain amount of guilt. The photos out there, this isnt what theyre like anymore. This is from two months ago. I dont know. Thats why i get on a bus with my kids. Youve got to its finding time to spend with your kids. So true. I dont know if im doing it right. You want a peaceful day on sunday . Im sure, its spending time with them. Yeah. N napping, im married to an amazing women where she lets me nap. Otherwise, i do want to be alone. By the way, fun difvo, gre greeting cards, special outing with dad on the bus, as you said and clothing and gift cards are the top gifts. What are you going to get . When you expect nothing, you are never disappointed. I want to hang out with my kid. If they make me something, thats great, a card. They have no income to get you this is all you spend on your zero income. I know you didnt buy that. What did your mom give you to give me . Cute. We will do the weather.

His name is carl. But thats not what we all have in common. We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. I couldnt have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. I found another way. Yeah, treatment with xarelto®. Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. Well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. Make mine an arnold palmer. Same here. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. Kim kardashian just added a little more fuel to the kanye taylor swift back and forth. Quim r kim appears on this months gq magazine and for the first time, publicly defends her husband. In the song he mentions miss swift saying, i will paraphrase here, that he and taylor may still hook up because he made her famous using a derogatory term to describe taylor. Miss taylors team said they were not aware of the actual lyrics but warn kanye about releasing that storm. Kim tells gq taylor was aware of the song lyrics ahead of time. She says she totally approved that and reality star said she totally knew that was coming out and wanted to act like all of a sudden she didnt. Taylors team was swift to respond to kims claim releasing a statement saying taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognizes the pressure kim must be under, ooh, and only repeating what shes been told by kanye west. I will sip some tea on that. It wept on to explain taylor and her team were aware being reported is not true and taylor cannot understood that kanye west announces Kim Kardashian will just not leave her alone. Thats a lot.
