No, this won’t be like Andy and Barney hanging out at Floyd’s barbershop in Mayberry.

Here is the first episode. I’ll let Fox Sports explain what this is all about.

BACK OF THE SHOP’s premiere episode features Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, Yankees outfielder Alfonso Soriano, New York Knicks swingman Iman Shumpert and NBA legend Larry Johnson. Set in Jordan Sport Barbershop in the Bronx, Oritz, Soriano, Shumpert and Johnson chat about their current and former teams, the way locker rooms and clubhouses used to be, and much more. Episode 1 was taped last September, and filming for subsequent episodes resumed in April.

Episode 1 of BACK OF THE SHOP makes its television debut on Saturday, May 24 (7:00 PM ET) on FOX Sports 1 before re-airing in its regular time slot on Tuesday, May 27 (8:30 PM ET). Episode 2, featuring hip hop legend Snoop Dogg, Seattle Mariners superstars Robinson Cano and Felix Hernandez, Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant and New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, premieres Tuesday, June 3 (8:30 PM ET).

QUOTES FROM BACK OF THE SHOP – EPISODE 1

David Ortiz: “I told my boy (Soriano) the other day when we were playing at Fenway, I saw my man, he looked right in that (Yankees) uniform. I swear to God, that’s the uniform – he looked legit. He looked gangster.”

Iman Shumpert: “What about the Cubs, though?”

Alfonso Soriano: “They always prepare for the future, and the future never comes. In New York, it’s all about the present, all about now.”

Shumpert: “What do you all eat in the clubhouse? You all eat chicken and beer? I heard stories.”

Ortiz: “Man, let me tell you, when that story came bout about the chicken and beer in the clubhouse, let me tell you, since I remember, the clubhouse always had chicken and beer. Why are they making a big deal about it now? I’m like, what’s going on? What’s different? Now we don’t have no chicken and no beer. What’s going on? Now I feel like there’s something wrong here because I’m used to seeing that. It’s like a game without a baseball bat.”

Larry Johnson: “When I first stepped in the NBA, in the locker room at halftime, you could fire up a cigarette.”

Shumpert: “Yeah?”

Johnson: “Oh the NBA was like that. They have men in the NBA, man.”

Shumpert: “I don’t want none of that baseball action, that’s for real. They be getting hit with pitches and all – I’m not with that.”

Ortiz: “Any athlete from any other sport, that’s all they worry about – getting hit by a pitch. I was talking to a couple of friends of mine that play for the Patriots that were like, no man, I prefer being crushed on the field than getting hit by a baseball. I was like, man, I see you guys getting knocked the hell out, and you’re going to tell me that a baseball hurts more than that? No way.”

Shumpert: “I don’t like elbows either, but I know that’s coming. When you play certain players, you just know, I’m gonna catch an elbow. Metta World Peace – he’s trying to win. If it’s a loose ball and you’ve got to go for it with Ron, he don’t care. People be like, he’s dirty. He ain’t dirty, he just wants that ball.”
