Patrick Schwarzenegger credits praying with wife as daily anchor in Hollywood ‘roller coaster'
Patrick Schwarzenegger is opening up about how his faith has helped him in his everyday life and career.
During a Q&A with Variety at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday, the 32-year-old actor discussed his faith, telling the crowd that his "prayers are something that helped me each and every day in my life."
"It’s something that helps me and my wife," he said. "We do it together. I think there was some crazy stat of husband and wives that pray together [are] 67% less likely to get divorced or separated."
He explained that he doesn't want to come off as someone who promises that "everything will be OK" if others start praying every day, but added, "It’s something that is a center point for my faith and gratitude," and that he finds it to be "a refreshing moment" in his day.
CHRIS PRATT AGREED TO THIS ONE CHRISTMAS TRADITION BEFORE MARRYING KATHERINE SCHWARZENEGGER
Patrick got his start working in smaller roles in television and film before landing his breakout role in season three of the hit HBO Max drama series "The White Lotus," but says he has a greater purpose than just an acting career.
"I’m here on this earth for a greater purpose and greater meaning than just working in acting," Patrick said. "The film industry is a roller coaster. I’ve seen it firsthand with my own family members, with friends. What’s really important is that as you go up, down, whichever way you go, your faith is still there."
The actor was born in the limelight, as his father is action star and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his mother, Maria Shriver, has been famous from birth as she is a member of the Kennedy family, and worked as a journalist as an adult.
In one episode of "White Lotus," Patrick's character briefly appears nude on camera – the actor previously told "Today" that he "shrunk into [his] seat" while watching the scene with his family, but said his dad found it "funny."

"After the first episode, he was cracking up over the scene in the bedroom. He thought it was so funny and so absurd," Patrick shared during an interview with Men’s Health in March 2025.
Arnold also addressed the scene on his social media, writing he "could claim to be surprised" his son had a nude scene before jokingly adding, "but what can I say - the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree."
The former governor famously appeared nude on camera in the 1984 movie "The Terminator" and then again in the 1991 sequel, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."
"Only the opening scene was naked, but I’m talking about naked," Arnold told Patrick about filming for "The Terminator," when the two sat down for a conversation on Variety's Actors on Actors series.

"I'm watching your show and I'm watching you with your butt sticking out there. And all of a sudden, I see the weenie. And I said to myself, 'what is going on here?'" he told his son. "And then I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello? You did the same thing, in 'Conan' and in 'Terminator,' all of these films, you were naked, so don't complain about it.' But it was kind of like, really, a shock to me that you would follow my footsteps that closely."
Bill Maher calls Mamdani a 'straight up communist,' warns Dems will 'lose more elections' if they deny it
Late-night host Bill Maher called New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani a "straight up communist" and warned Democrats that they will "lose more elections" if they try to deny it.
On Friday's episode of "Real Time," Maher noted that "Democrats seem to be having this debate" over whether Mamdani is a socialist or a democratic socialist, and offered to end the debate for them once and for all.
"Let me settle it: He's a straight up communist," he declared.
BISHOP ROBERT BARRON SLAMS ZOHRAN MAMDANI 'WARMTH OF COLLECTIVISM' LINE: ‘FOR GOD’S SAKE’
According to Maher, he knows this to be true by "reading between the lines" after one of the mayor's advisors, Cea Weaver, said to "elect more communists."
"Which is fine. It's fine. It's a belief system. He's allowed to believe it, and people are allowed to vote for it," Maher continued. "But if liberals deny it, like he's just going through a goth phase, they're going to lose more elections. This is not a communist country."
The "Real Time" host lamented that when it comes to political ideology, "the pendulum never lands in the middle," and voters are typically left to choose between two extremes.
"Really, the choices we get here are either the worst version of crony capitalism or communism, either a side deal for the Trump family every time he does business overseas, or the lady who says, ‘impoverish the white middle class,’" he said. "Oh yeah, there's a great campaign slogan for you."
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani's office for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
The "impoverish the white middle class" quote Maher referenced came from Weaver, who was named director of the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants on Jan. 1 through an executive order signed by Mamdani.
According to the Daily Mail, internet sleuths uncovered a trove of controversial tweets from Weaver's now deleted X account, one in which she called to "impoverish the white middle class" and brand homeownership as "racist" and "failed policy."
Additionally, the housing czar called to "seize private property" and even claimed that "homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy."
'ZOHRANOMICS': NYC MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI’S SOCIALIST MATH DOESN’T ADD UP
Maher has been consistent in his criticisms of Mamdani and democratic socialism, urging both voters and Democratic Party leaders to steer clear of the ideology.
In November, Maher tore into Mamdani and his ideology after his intense victory speech, warning Republicans would use it to their advantage.
"Democrats must recognize that Zohran Mamdani is the future of the party. Unfortunately, it's the Republican Party. Get it?" Maher joked. "And if you missed his victory speech in last week's mayoral election in New York, don't worry. You'll see it in every attack ad for the next two years."
While Maher admitted that Mamdani "seems like a nice guy," he offered a warning about the Democratic Party's increasing appetite for democratic socialist candidates. Maher urged that before the "whole left side of the country catches socialism fever," to take some advice from another "big winner" from last week's special elections.
"… Virginia Governor Elect Abigail Spanberger, who before the ‘24 election said things like, ’If the party didn't shift to the center, we will get torn apart.' And, ‘We need to never use the word socialist or socialism ever again,’" Maher recalled. "Well, she was right, but they didn't listen. Typical, am I right, ladies?"

Border Patrol-involved shooting reported in Minneapolis
A shooting reportedly involving Border Patrol took place in Minneapolis, Minn., on Saturday at the intersection of East 26th Street and Nicollet Ave., law enforcement sources tell Fox News.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Fox News that the suspect was armed with a gun and two magazines.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara are expected to address the public on Saturday.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said, "The scene must be secured by local law enforcement for preservation of evidence. We expect the federal government to allow the BCA to process the scene."
The attorney also put out a call to the public to submit photos and videos of the incident.
"We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area. Please follow the City’s social media channels for updates," Minneapolis Police Department told Fox News Digital.
THOUSANDS MARCH THROUGH MINNEAPOLIS, SWARM TARGET CENTER DEMANDING ICE REMOVAL FROM MINNESOTA
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz condemned the shooting and called on the Trump administration to end its operation in his state.
"I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening," Walz wrote on X. "The president must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now."
Minnesota Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith also spoke out following the shooting. Smith called the incident "catastrophic" and called on ICE to "leave now so MPD can secure the scene and do their jobs."
Meanwhile, Klobuchar issued a message on X to the Trump administration and Republicans.
"To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW," she wrote.
Tensions between federal immigration enforcement and protesters in Minnesota have been high since the fatal Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Nicole Good. Her death sparked a wave of protests nationwide and raised questions about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
Walz and Frey, as well as other Minnesota officials, have been highly critical of how federal immigration forces have handled the operation. Following the shooting of Good, Frey told ICE to "get the f--k out of Minneapolis."

‘Members Only’ star fires back at Palm Beach critics, says they’re ‘exactly the people’ the show exposes
A new reality show is pulling back the curtain on the inner workings of Palm Beach and the elite who live there, including who gets in, who gets judged, and who decides what "belongs."
Ro-Mina Ustayev, a breakout star of Netflix’s "Members Only: Palm Beach," and often referred to as the "Palm Beach Kim Kardashian," said locals who argue the show embarrasses the elite enclave are "exactly the people" the series exposes.
"I think the people that think that this show embarrasses Palm Beach are exactly the people who act the way that they act in the show," Ustayev exclusively told Fox News Digital. "It’s just like a perfect explanation of how difficult it is to really be a member of society in this city."
'MEMBERS ONLY: PALM BEACH' STAR SLAMS ‘NASTY’ RUMORS THAT SHE'S BEING KICKED OUT OF MAR-A-LAGO
The show gives an inside look at Palm Beach’s elite social scene — one defined by private clubs, whispered judgments and unspoken rules — and Ustayev said that honesty, not optics, is what’s making longtime insiders uneasy.
Palm Beach, she said, operates less like a beach town and more like a tightly controlled hierarchy.
"I think it’s about keeping certain people in your circles and out of your circles," she said, comparing exclusive clubs to sororities where access is closely managed.

That dynamic, she added, fuels constant scrutiny — especially for newcomers who don’t fit the traditional mold.
"When people whisper that you don’t belong, they’re judging you for your money, your behavior, and anything that they’d like to judge," Ustayev told Fox News Digital.
Ustayev knows that judgment firsthand, and her presence alone may disrupt Palm Beach expectations.
SYLVESTER STALLONE'S WIFE PRAISES FLORIDA AS A FAMILY ‘REBIRTH’ AFTER FLEEING HOLLYWOOD LIFESTYLE
Born in Uzbekistan, she immigrated to the United States as a child refugee with her family, arriving with little money and not understanding the English language. She later built businesses across real estate, fashion and music — success that doesn’t always translate into social acceptance in a town where lineage still matters.
That tension exploded when Ustayev declared herself "the new Palm Beach" — a phrase she said rattled longtime insiders. "I think when I say that ‘I am the new Palm Beach,’ the people that are from there and have lived there for many years kind of get upset about it," she said.
"Palm Beach has always been a certain way … and here I am coming in with my pleather. It’s just not something they’re used to, and a lot of people are usually afraid of change."
Change, Ustayev said, is already underway.
"I think Palm Beach is definitely changing whether the local residents like it or not," she told Fox News Digital, pointing to an influx of new residents drawn to Florida’s lifestyle. "They just need to get with the program."
One of the most closely watched aspects of "Members Only" is its repeated references to Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s private club.
"I think Mar-a-Lago has been repeatedly talked about in the show because it is the main members-only club that is in Palm Beach," she said. "When you come to Florida, one of the first things that someone you meet will ask you is what club membership you have."

Along with being an entrepreneur, Ustayev is a mother of three. She and her husband manage a growing real estate portfolio with more than 200 rental units, while Ustayev continues to release music and run her clothing brand.
WATCH: ‘MEMBERS ONLY: PALM BEACH’ STAR ON BUILDING SUCCESS FROM THE GROUND UP
As "Members Only" continues to stir debate inside Palm Beach’s tight social circles, insiders say the friction unfolding onscreen reflects a much deeper — and long-standing — reality.
Maria, known professionally for her music work as DJ Tumbles, has spent years working inside Palm Beach’s most exclusive spaces, spinning at private parties, country clubs and billionaires’ mansions. From her vantage point, Palm Beach isn’t just about wealth — it’s about hierarchy, discretion and knowing when to blend in.

"There is a set of unspoken rules," Maria told Fox News Digital, describing a social order where respect and self-awareness matter more than being flashy. "You’ve got to decide whether you want to play the game. It’s the price of doing business."
According to Maria, blacklisting doesn’t always happen loudly — but the behavior that leads to it often does. Unwanted attention, breaking protocol or failing to read the room can quickly put someone on the outside looking in.

Palm Beach, she said, operates less like an open playground for the rich and more like a "high school lunch table," where power isn’t always visible — and the biggest players are often the ones no one recognizes.
"Members Only: Palm Beach" is available to stream on Netflix.
'He-Man' reboot trailer divides fans as iconic character's alter ego depicted as office drone
A new reboot of the "Masters of the Universe" franchise is drawing backlash after a teaser trailer appears to reimagine the muscular hero He-Man as a modern corporate employee before he returns to Eternia.
The trailer, released by Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Studios on Thursday, surpassed 15 million views on YouTube in the first two days. The release has sparked debate across social media, with critics arguing Hollywood is changing a traditionally masculine icon to reflect modern workplace culture, while others say it may be a satirical dig at political correctness.
He-Man, played by actor Nicholas Galitzine in the new trailer, is the central character in the long-running "Masters of the Universe" franchise. Since premiering in the early 1980s, He-Man has become an icon of masculinity defined by physical strength and moral righteousness.
In the new trailer, the reboot introduces He-Man’s origin story before quickly cutting to the character sitting in a cubicle at a corporate office. His desk features a nameplate reading "Adam Glenn," the character’s alter ego, along with a pronoun display reading "He/Him."
'CAPTAIN AMERICA' ACTOR INSISTS 'AMERICAN MASCULINITY' IS EXCEPTIONAL, DESPITE BEING UNDER ATTACK
The character’s boss then chides him, saying, "This obsession with nerd stuff and sword things, it's not a good look for human resources." In the trailer, he is seen being reunited with the iconic Power Sword and returning to Eternia, eventually doing battle with chief series antagonist Skeletor.
Amazon News said the film follows Adam as he joins his closest allies to "embrace his true destiny as He-Man – the most powerful man in the universe."
'STAR TREK' ACTRESS SAYS SERIES HAS ALWAYS BEEN ‘WOKE’ AS CONSERVATIVES CRY FOUL ABOUT NEW SHOW
Fans online appear split on whether the portrayal is an intentional satire of modern workplace culture or another example of Hollywood normalizing progressive norms within traditionally masculine franchises.
"Now they're making a Masters of the Universe and giving He-man pronouns. These people won't stop until they ruin everything," one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Another commenter argued critics were missing the point, suggesting the trailer was intentionally mocking modern workplace culture, "He ESCAPES from this overbearing world to where he belongs: In a high T adventure. This could be a movie telling men to be men again. Don’t knock it until it you see it."
PARAMOUNT'S ‘LANDMAN’ TACKLES WOKE ROOMMATE CULTURE AND SAFE-SPACE POLITICS
Other users echoed that sentiment, saying the scene appeared to take a "dig at Human Resources," leaving them "cautiously optimistic" about the film.
Similar debates have played out across Hollywood as studios revisit legacy franchises and remake them for modern audiences. The latest installment in the "Star Trek" franchise has drawn online criticism from fans in recent days, with some arguing the series has gone "woke."
Actress and cast member Gina Yashere defended "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" during an appearance on CNN, saying the franchise has been "woke from day one."
Amazon MGM and Mattel Studios didn't immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Jeremy Piven hopes 'Rush Hour 4' won't 'operate out of fear' and stays true to franchise
EXCLUSIVE - Fans of the movie franchise are likely to always remember actor Jeremy Piven's wild cameo in "Rush Hour 2." And it turns out he had just as much fun acting it as audiences did watching.
In the sequel, Piven plays a flamboyant Versace store clerk in Las Vegas who helps Carter and Lee, played by Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, with their suit shopping. In the Brett Ratner-directed films, Chan stars as a top Hong Kong inspector and Tucker as a Los Angeles police officer who team up to solve international crimes. Piven's brief scene had audiences praising him for pulling off "one of the greatest cameos of all time" with his flashy, comedic timing as he confuses Carter and Lee as a gay couple and promises to turn them into "the belle of the ball."
"You know, when I played that scene, it was just before I had done 'Entourage,'" Piven told Fox News Digital. "I was still in my kind of journeyman actor phase. I think I still am in that phase, fortunately or unfortunately. You know, about 40 movies before 'Entourage' and that was one of them. And I had one line, you know, 'May I help you?' And I improvised and had fun with it and, yeah, it would be great to explore that character again."
‘ENTOURAGE’ STAR JEREMY PIVEN SAYS PEOPLE ARE TOO EASILY TRIGGERED AND NEED TO HEAR EACH OTHER OUT
Fans were thrilled by the news that nearly two decades since the last movie, "Rush Hour 4" was in the works, yet some may be concerned about whether the latest film in the franchise would suffer in today's more sensitized environment. The first three films are known for their politically incorrect humor as much as for their action sequences.
"I would like whatever sequel comes out, for it to be true to its nature with 'Rush Hour,'" Piven said. "And yeah, it'd be fun to see where my character is now."
Piven also addressed his famous scene in a recent interview with New Yorkers Live, saying he was glad viewers didn't think he was "demeaning the gay community" with his portrayal. In the same interview, Piven said that once people stop being so "easily triggered" by comedy in general, they're "going to have a better life."
PARAMOUNT REVIVES ‘RUSH HOUR’ FRANCHISE REPORTEDLY AFTER TRUMP'S REQUEST
Piven suggested that as long as the movie stays true to what made the franchise funny in the first place, fans will show up. The "Rush Hour" movies earned big laughs out of the culture clash of Lee and Carter when out of their element — one particularly memorable scene in the first movie shows Chan's character accidentally using a racial slur that he thinks is endearing him to a bartender; in the second movie, Carter nearly gets himself killed by gangsters at a Hong Kong club when he starts talking too much.
"I think if they try to second-guess the humor and play it safe or operate out of fear, no good can come creatively when you operate out of fear," Piven told Fox News Digital. "So, I think if they're true to the spirit of the rest of those movies... You know, Chris has evolved since then as a person and as a performer. And so has Jackie. Jackie is an absolute legend. And so it'd be really fun to see where they are now. And it would be fun to be a part of that again. I love those guys."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Paramount for comment.
JACKIE CHAN REVEALS HE IS IN TALKS FOR ‘RUSH HOUR 4’ DURING FILM FESTIVAL APPEARANCE: REPORT
Piven, best-known for his Emmy-winning turn as Hollywood agent Ari Gold in HBO's "Entourage," is currently on a comedy tour throughout the U.S., Canada and Australia. The show, according to the official website, "highlights Piven's successful transition into stand-up comedy, a comedic muscle he's been flexing to showcase his dynamic personality."
"What's so fun about doing stand-up is, no matter what the room is, no matter the temperature is, it's our job to navigate it and to kind of be the best version of ourselves in that moment," Piven told Fox News Digital. "Whether, no matter what you're facing. So, I mean, that's one of the great challenges, I believe."
Scientists discover 'superfood' potential in overlooked vegetable most Americans can't prepare
Researchers say a particular vegetable may have "superfood" potential — and it's one most Americans may not know how to prepare.
A study published in the journal Advances in Bamboo Science was conducted by Anglia Ruskin University researchers in England.
The study centers around bamboo shoots — the edible new growth of bamboo plants that have long been eaten in East Asia.
ANCIENT FERMENTED DISH LINKED TO IMMUNE CHANGES AMID DEVASTATING FLU SEASON
The shoots are harvested before the plant hardens into the woody stalks that bamboo is famous for — and that pandas chew.
These shoots are often compared to water chestnuts and asparagus for their earthy taste and crunchy texture when cooked.
The study, described by an Anglia Ruskin University release as the first-ever review focused on bamboo as a food, has "uncovered a wide range of possible health benefits."
"Researchers found evidence suggesting bamboo consumption may help regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, support digestive health and provide antioxidant effects," the statement said.
EATING FOR PLEASURE MAY BOOST HEALTH, SAY EXPERTS — HERE ARE 6 FOODS TO TRY
Bamboo shoots contain thiamine, niacin, vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin E — along with essential amino acids and the minerals selenium and potassium. They also offer a modest amount of plant-based protein and fiber.
"Bamboo is known as the fastest growing plant on the planet, with some species capable of growing up to 90 centimeters in a single day," the release noted.
"While China and India are the largest producers and bamboo shoots are already common in many Asian cuisines, the findings suggest bamboo could become an important food option for diets around the world."

But researchers did warn of a risk: Bamboo shoots should never be eaten uncooked.
"Some bamboo species contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide if the shoots are eaten raw or improperly prepared," the statement said.
"One study also found that bamboo shoots may contain compounds that interfere with thyroid hormone production, [a risk that] can be avoided by properly pre-boiling bamboo shoots before consumption."

Researchers cautioned that the findings are based on limited data, as only a handful of clinical studies have examined bamboo consumption so far.
"Our review shows bamboo's clear promise as a possible 'superfood,' but there are also gaps in our knowledge," senior author Lee Smith said in a statement.
"We could only find four studies involving human participants that met our criteria, so additional high-quality human trials are necessary before we can make firm recommendations."
While some research positions bamboo shoots as nutritionally promising, information from Washington State University emphasizes that they need to be "peeled and cooked before using."
The health benefits of bamboo shoots have long been known, physician, scientist and author Dr. William Li told Fox News Digital. (He was not involved in the new study.)

"Bamboo shoots have been part of the medicinal food armamentarium of Asian cultures for at least 2,000 years, recognized for their healthful properties for various ailments including digestive disorders," he said.
"They were never eaten raw. … It was only in the past three decades that modern research has identified, using scientific methods, the bioactives responsible for healthful properties," Li added.
For those curious about cooking with bamboo shoots, Li said they can be found in cans or vacuum-sealed pouches in Asian grocery stores — but he urged people never to eat raw bamboo from potted plants.
"Bamboo shoots can be stir-fried with virtually any other food. They absorb soy sauce, oyster sauce and soup broths very well," he suggested.
"You can add them to a bowl of ramen noodles or a warming bowl of congee [traditional Asian rice porridge]."
Ben Shelton gives poignant patriotic message after Australian Open victory
A reporter at the Australian Open has been asking American tennis stars their thoughts on the country and what it's like to represent the Stars and Stripes.
Ben Shelton apparently gave his answer without even being asked.
After a victory over Valentin Vacherot in the third round of the Australian Open early Saturday morning, Shelton took part in the tennis tradition of signing a camera but delivered a pointed message.

"USA ‘til it’s backwards," Shelton signed. The phrase is a play on modern slang used to signal unwavering support or "standing on business" for a cause.
Taylor Fritz, Coco Gauff, Madison Keys, Amanda Anisimova and Naomi Osaka have all been asked similar questions by a single reporter at the Australian Open. Anisimova was specifically asked if she had any feelings on playing for the country "in the context of the last year of everything that’s been happening in the U.S.," and if it "complicate[d]" her thoughts.
"I don’t think that’s relevant," she fired back.
John Isner and Tennys Sandgren slammed the reporter on social media.
TENNIS STAR MOCKS JEERING CROWD WITH PROVOCATIVE DANCE AFTER AUSTRALIAN OPEN VICTORY
"Popular opinion: Let’s ask tennis questions to the players at a tennis tournament. This is so lame," Isner wrote on X.
"Bug reporter," Sandgren added. "Go write for the Economist if you have the chops. If not ask her how her backhand felt and move on."
Gauff was asked about her thoughts on the "state of the U.S." one year into President Donald Trump’s second term.
"I hope forward that we can have a lot more peace in our country and more kindness in the way we speak to each other about different topics and things like that," she said, via The Tennis Letter. "Obviously, I’ve been pretty vocal about how I felt. At this point, I feel a bit fatigued talking about it just because of the fact that it is hard also being a Black woman in this country and having to experience things, even online, and seeing marginalized communities being affected. And knowing that I can only donate and speak out. I try my best to do that.
"But, yeah, I hope that as time continues that we can reach a state that we’re not currently in, and we keep moving forward. I posted the video of Martin Luther King and that was kind of saying, ‘We must keep moving forward,’ even as things may not be as calm as I’d like it to be right now."

Deion Sanders’ bodyguard says Colorado coach gets around five death threats per day
Deion Sanders’ bodyguard said the NFL legend receives about five death threats a day, according to a YouTube video posted Friday by Sanders’ eldest son, Deion Jr.
The bodyguard, Michael Rhodes, told the University of Colorado football players Sanders coaches to "be mindful" of who they let into team facilities.
"I’m Officer Rhodes. I'm head of security for Coach Prime," Rhodes told the team.

"Real quick, I want to say this. Those of y'all that are new, when y'all head up to the facilities in the morning, be mindful of who comes in with you, especially on the elevator. Don't let somebody coerce you into scanning them up on the floor, because everybody's trying to get to Coach Prime. Those people that are trying to get to them, not all of them have good intentions. So just be mindful of that, don't prop open any doors, because my philosophy is, if the doors open, they will come through. Then they're gonna have to meet me."
Sanders then cited being a "Black man" for his constant death threats.
"We get death threats all the time," Sanders said. "Why? I’m a Black man making it happen, making things move, making all that happen. So we have stuff that’s real."
Sanders then asked Rhodes, "How many death threats we get?"
"About five every day," Rhodes said.
Sanders' life and wellbeing has been a topic of concern over the last year.
3 SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN $200K BURGLARY OF BROWNS STAR SHEDEUR SANDERS' HOME, POLICE ANNOUNCE
Last June, reports surfaced that the Pro Football Hall of Famer was sidelined with an unspecified illness.
In July, Sanders revealed he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer. During a news conference with his doctors, Sanders shared that a portion of his intestine had been surgically reconstructed to function as a bladder.
Following his bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment, Sanders frequently needed to use the restroom, so the school introduced a portable sideline bathroom for him during games.
Then, during a postgame press conference in October, Sanders predicted he was facing more blood clots after previously being impacted by them.
"Cat’s out of the bag, all right. I think I’ve got more blood clots," Sanders said. "It don’t make sense. I’m hurting like crazy… I’m not getting blood to my leg. That’s why my leg is throbbing."
The blood clot issue resulted in the amputation of two toes on his left foot in 2021. Sanders was coaching at Jackson State at the time. In 2023, the two-time Super Bowl champion missed Pac-12 media day to address a blood clot in his right leg and another surgery to correct curved toes on his left foot.
"I’m going to go in there [surgery], and I’m going to get some of the best sleep in the world for, I think, four hours, the surgery is going to be," Sanders said Tuesday.
"I’ve never been high a day in my life. I’ve never drank, smoked or anything. But when I get those surgeries, I am there on time."

Bartenders say one common request costs them tips — and some customers have no idea
You finish a drink at the bar, friends arrive and a table opens.
You grab your glass, head to the dining room and ask a simple question: "Can you transfer my tab?"
For bartenders, that routine request can come with an unexpected cost.
"Logistically, it's not difficult," said Dawn Kenney, owner of Players Locker Room, a sports bar and restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida. "Our software is actually very capable of switching who's serving them."
AMERICANS ARE FED UP WITH TIPPING CULTURE, YET MANY STILL SHELL OUT 20% AT RESTAURANTS
Modern point-of-sale systems, she told Fox News Digital, can move checks between bartenders and servers with just a few clicks.
But ease doesn't mean it's not problematic, especially when it comes to tips.
While a tab can be transferred, tips often can't be easily divided once service changes hands.
"We do not have our system set up to where it's easy for us to split tips," Kenney added.
BAR OWNER SPARKS FURY OVER 'NARROW-MINDED,' CONTROVERSIAL LATE-NIGHT ENTRY POLICY
That gap between service and compensation is where frustration can creep in, particularly for bartenders who've already put in the time.
Taylor Lowry, a bartender at Grease whiskey bar and restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida, said transferring a tab can mean losing out entirely.
"We also lose the tip on that check, which is frustrating if [the customers] have been at the bar a while," she told Fox News Digital.
Because not all systems function the same way, the experience can vary widely from one bar to the next.
"Some systems don't allow you to transfer checks," she said.
Industry norms have developed to smooth over those differences.
GEN Z DRINKERS LEAVE BARTENDERS FRUSTRATED WITH SHRINKING TIPS AS 'TERRIBLE' TREND EMERGES
At Kenney's bar, time spent matters more than the request itself.
"If the person's been sitting there for a couple of hours, usually I let them — the bartender or server, whoever — say, 'Hey, can I close you out?'" she said.
On the other hand, she said, "If you just sat down and started your first drink, just transfer it. It's not a big deal."
Some bartenders are more understanding than others.

"If they're waiting for a table, and they don't hold up the bar seats for too long, I don't mind transferring the check," Lowry said, noting that courtesy goes both ways during busy shifts.
Generational habits can complicate things further.
Kenney said older guests tend to be more attuned to tipping etiquette.

"I think that they are much more conscious of tipping than a lot of the younger people … unless you're in the industry," she said.
Lowry said she sees that play out behind the bar, especially during busy periods.
"The younger generation likes to cash out for their drinks as they go rather than starting a tab" — which takes up more of a bartender's time, she said.
If someone is insistent about transferring a tab, Kenney will let it go to avoid any conflict, she said.
