During 9/11 Roger Clemens visited my father's firehouse engine 22 ladder 13 in NY. My father cooked for him and he broke bread with everyone in the firehouse. He wore my father's FDNY jacket coming in to pitch for the playoffs. a memory that will last forever. Thanks Rocket.

“It takes 0 talent to Hustle” such a powerful statement

Roger is an awesome guy. I played with his son Koby on Team Texas our senior year of high school. Hanging out on the couch with Roger watching ESPN will always be a cherished memory.

Roger is 100% right about dad's and youth sports. My 9 year old is an immensely talented basketball player and has averaged 17+ a game this season. Yesterday, he was just off and not trying hard, and I could tell it. I didn't yell and scream at him on the court. During a timeout, he came to me to get his water that I had refilled for him. I calmly told him to either give it your all or ask the coach to take you out and give someone else a chance who will give 100%. After that, he assisted on or scored the final 20 points (scored 12 in the final 5 min) to come back and win in OT. Knowing my child and what he would have done if I had yelled at him on the court, he would have hung his head and shut down. That said, I have no issue with the coaches getting on him, and neither does my kid. Because it's just different. I honestly don't care if my kid doesn't score a point as long as he is giving his team what they need to make everyone else better and give them the best chance to win. I honestly think my kid enjoys making the pass and watching his teammates score more than he enjoys score, which is rare for a kid that age.

These unexpected interviews that catch you by surprise are priceless.

A hero in the Bronx while here, thanks for delivering the goods Clemens!

As a former resident in NY & a Yankee fan; I saw Clemens pitch a number of times in Yankee Stadium & a few times on the road... a phenom & tenacious pitcher!

Props to having Roger on. One of the best shows you've had. There's many great podcasts out there but there's rarely an opportunity to hear the life of a legend.

Roger Clemens on the Blue Jays brings back memories 🎳

No one gives credit to Adam for doing a good job interviewing, great listen!

Refreshing to hear someone speak there passion on here and it not be all about their boring political philosophies. Salute to Mr Clemens, a real legend 🫡

Awesome stories from one of the best pitchers to play the game thanks for bringing him on pbd !!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I grew up watching Roger Clemens. He's a class act.

Definitely one of the best interviews of all times !!!! Very Heart warming. God Bless Pat and team and Roger Clemens and Rogers Mother,

This is by far one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen on here PBD!! I played in college and a little AAA but signed up for the army and served overseas instead. “For love of the game” with Kevin Costner by far MY greatest baseball movie

This was my favorite interview. What a legend! Rocket deserves the HOF!

I’m not a baseball fan but this guy is awesome.thank you Rodger and PBD.

Amazing interview, so free-flowing great stories and Mr. Roger comes off so humble!! Watching this one again.

This was so awesome I wish it was 4 hr you guys can bring him back any time god bless you guys

Patrick's NBA take is on point. Have not cared about basketball for a while.

thanks to KZfaq, watching Roger Clemens pitch in the 1980s is one of my favorite things to do... fax!!!

I remember being in baseball camp in 1986 here in New york.. all the kids after lunch were buzzing about rocket striking out 20 batters the day before...I watched him aa much as I could and followed his career through the various teams...my absolute favorite pitcher of all time followed by his training mate Andy pettite...Roger was am intimidating presence...thanks for this interview..first ballot hof regardless of the writers...no doubt

I love how passionate and centered he’s with baseball game. That’s why he is where he is at. He is a great person. The way he talks about his mo and grandma. ♥️ pure love and respect

Nothing to say except this one was a lot of fun... Brought back a lot of memories for me as a diehard baseball fan growing up in the 80s and 90s

As a Yankee this is one of the best podcasts I’ve had the privilege of watching…. 💯💪🏾⚾️

This was amazing. One of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard. Wow!🤯

I worked a friend Mister Clemens and his wife on their home in Texas I can't say enough good things about him and his family they are the most down-to-earth humble that I had ever met he does so much for people who are less fortunate and it goes untalked about which he doesn't want any credit he's doing it from his heart because he's able to and he's that kind of person he is a very good man and one hell of ball player and his whole family and the men and women who work for them at there home are all down to earth good people and when you go to his house they make you feel like you are part of the family got to hear some really cool stories I can't say enough good things about Roger and his wife and his family I have gotten to meet his sons also and they where the same way as well they where very humble as well just a great family all around that is my opinion and it reflects my interaction and personal experience working for them and is what I took away from meet them all

I saw on AFN while I was in the Navy, that Roger visited the troops together with President Bush. Always appreciated that he was willing to make the trip and try to lighten their spirits. Long since forgotten, but not by those of us who understood the times. Dempsey, Ruth, Lindbergh, etc, are known for their exploits in their fields and professions, but during their sidenotes during Wartime gave them a window into their connection with their countrymen.

We love you in New York Roger!! What you did for the fireman and 1st responders after 9-11 was amazing and what you did as a Yankee was incredible as well. Great man, great pitcher , great interview!! Thank you Roger

Roger Clemens is such a competitor and a solid guy. I dont know him but I know him. Great interview.

Wow I love this! Hit close to home when you talked about your mom working 3 jobs and your g-ma giving you that advise, cause I am raising my three boys by myself and working 3 jobs. I just told my oldest son the other day that it doesn’t matter what you’re doing, take pride in it and remember that it’s just a stepping stone to the top!

Absolutely loved this podcast! Roger Clemens seems like a very likable guy, and one of the biggest names in base ball! He should without question be in the HOF.

This is one of the best interviews I've heard. Great questions and thank you for this

Great interview. Really shows how in my opinion Roger is a cool guy who worked tirelessly at his craft and became one of the best ever. Seems like he would be awesome to hang with. Cheers 🍻

What a cool guy - loved him growing up and this reminded me why…he’s just shooting the shit with the boys and tells great stories. Cheers to the king of the mound!!

Wonderful conversation, you could really see beyond the baseball player and appreciate Roger Clements the family man and real person , excellent PBD and outstanding Adam holding on the interview first few minutes ,

I listen to many of your podcasts. This is one of the most enjoyable shows I've heard.

The Audio Strikes Back

Thank you Pat, I’ve loved the Rocket since I was a little kid. It sometimes feels like the world moves on and forgets, I loved getting to hear from someone I revered so greatly as a boy

That was FANTASTIC. I’m a big time baseball nerd and could have listened to Rocket’s anecdotes all day! Saw him many times in Boston including his final Sox start in 96, against the eventual champion Yankees.

Damn PBD this was my favorite show ever more than Shaq and Kobe and I grew up a Lakers fan. Keep up the finance, politics and sports content! Adam great job as usual

OUTSTANDING interview - Thanks, Guys! Grateful to know of Mr. Clemons class and caring for our Deployed Troops, too! Should have been a member of Cooperstown a LONG time ago - Tired of the judgmental, prima-donnas in MLB, the HOF, and the media!

What a podcast! Always respected the Rocket’s accomplishments but having him tell his stories was priceless. Best two hours that I’ve spent this week.

Roger Clemens. My favorite pitcher of all time. I didn't think this was going to be 2 hour "good", but this was awesome! I wish someone would've asked him about facing Dave Stewart of the A's. Roger couldn't beat that guy!

Rocket! My dear late grandparents were Jays fanatics. Some of my fondest childhood memories are staying at their place in the summer and watching game after game. Roger was on the Jays during that time and he was the best pitcher in the world. Two Cy Young’s. Hearing him here you can tell what made him great. Student of the game.

Bravo for this interview, PBD & the gang! Roger Clemens is a dawg gone Patriot!

What a wonderful human being Mr. Clements comes over as. Just goes to show that nice guys do not have to finish last! Great podcast Patrick. Blessings be upon you all

One of the best interviews

Roger was my hero when I was a pitcher in little league! The ultimate fastball badass!!

Roger is the man this pod is so interesting; Pat always bringing the fire!

roger is the absolute baseball savant.

Baseball Knowledge galore. He worked very hard and loves the game. He worked hard to stay in shape and listening to him is a supreme pleasuee. And hell he sounds like a very cool dad. K KING

I spent my 26th birthday with Roger and a nightclub in Boston called the Bahama Beach Club got to know him pretty well that night had a lot of fun i had him made a special clock with all his rookie cards in it laminated on cherry wood and brought it to him at Fenway Park. Those some great times i've often wondered if he still has it or what he did with that clock.

Great podcast … as a die hard Red Sox fan and baseball fan in general I really enjoyed the stories

My favorite podcast interview on this channel!

The rocket is iconic! The respect that man garners from those who know is immense. He the type of player who runs from the stadium back to the team hotel after winning a game because he feels he can do better.

PBDs pitch was hilarious.. thanks for sharing

Whole new respect for the rocket...I literally could listen to him every day if he did a podcast or something

Just started this... I can't wait to listen to this interview!! Love hearing baseball legends talk.

I just sat and watched this whole interview!! Wow that was great

First Curt Schilling and now "The Rocket" Thank you!

In 1984, my first Brewer game, Milwaukee Brewers versus the Boston Red Sox. I WAS AT THAT GAME Robin Yount hit two dingers off Rocket. gave me goosebumps Clemens brought up a game I was actually at. I was 8 years old, there on a trip with the Cub Scouts. 😂😂😂😂. Great interview boys!

I never saw Roger open up like this during an interview before. Very insightful interview about his playing career. I would love to see Derek Jeter on the PBD podcast and open up about his career. He probably has amazing stories to share.

Roger is like Bush. Loved, then hated, then missed, now loved again. Coming from a Redsox fan, have nothing but complete respect and love for the Rocket

This is cool. I was at the game where the A’s swept the Red Sox in the playoffs. Roger was so pissed off about what I can’t remember. But he tosses a ice chest on the field and was just going crazy. What a competitor, hated him then love him now! Great ball player. The good old days.

Much love to you Mr. Clemens. you seem like a cool person to converse with. Great to hear from you .

Lots of respect for the rocket! Loved watching him play, guy was a competitor! Roger Clemens is a stud

Can you imagine what our country would be like if ever sports talking head, every coach, every young athlete spoke like Mr. Clemens? We’d be in a great place, dialed in, and laser focused.

The way it started I thought, this ain’t going to be that good….. by the end…. I was hoping I had 2 more hours of it! Great stuff!

thanks for getting the video out despite the audio issues this morning

For The Love Of The Game, best movie Kevin Costner. Great podcast

Wow, what an interview. Maybe the greatest right hander ever. He lives down here in Houston and comments on the Astros right now. Interesting guy

These are the interviews that I wish I could be a part of. Would’ve asked Clemens more specific baseball questions.

He, along with Mark, Sosa, and Arod, all deserve to be in the HOF.

What a show. What a guy. Would’ve listened 2 more hours.

For me since Tom Seaver retired it was this guy, Greg Maddox and Randy Johnson as the Top 3 consistently best pitchers in the majors.

Roger was my idol when I was growing up. Between Roger, Mike Greenwell, and Wade Boggs.

Regardless of what people say about him, he’s one of the greatest pitchers in the history of the game.

Roger Clemens 🐐🐐🐐

Great freakin' questions from both of you guys! Salute!!!!

Amazing podcast

The only 2 time 20k club member. The 1st and the 2nd, and only one in the American league. There's a Kerry Wood doc on KZfaq. The Rocket called the club house right away, when he got 20k. 20k club, the most prestigious club in all of baseball!

Love this! Such a fun and positive experience. Woot woot RC!

Best one yet!!!! Love Clemens.

I love this interview. The man loves baseball and he has so much knowledge to share. It is awful that he doesn't get to do more interviews like this. Everyone else just wants to talk about the mistake he made. Bro, you can see how happy he is for this opportunity. Thank you for doing this interview PBD.

Huge Yankee fan. What a phenomenal 2 hours. It was too short!!

Wish Pat did more of the interview.

What a great pod. Roger is arguably the best pitcher all time but he is also a great person and interview.

Roger Clemens is a Legend

Incredible interview and good dose of adrenaline on a Monday. Roger is frothing talking about past experiences on the mound like he's there right now. Really appreciate his work ethic and drive regardless of what he's doing. Cheers

I could listen to Roger talk all day so interesting.

I could listen to this guy forever. Great storyteller

Man, what he said about the 12y old at third base!! I was that kid! The coach kept saying, 'get up, move closer!' I'm like damn, you realize how fast that damn ball comes at you??!!! Good times! Lol

One of the greatest pitchers ever.

Im not much of a baseball guy but he definitely looks at the sport from that detailed/analytical perspective and its great to listen to him discuss those things. Thoroughly enjoyed, 👍👍

Great interview

Never been a big Adam guy but seeing him taking care of his boy trying to get a jaun story for Patrick really showed me a different side an kinda opened me up to him... love seeing guys take care of each other. That speaks louder to me then anything he has ever said itveas so real

Glad I got to watch Clemens in his prime.

Great interview sir

Loved this interview Pat
