New Year's is coming up. Hopefully, a few lucky of you got to go to a wedding so you can go ahead and hit that reception, hit that little quick getaway, not have to pay for shit. Before we get in everything, we have to shout out our presenting sponsor.

Our presenting sponsor will also be back with the boys. This is massive for 2023 all year because Chevy loves the boys. Playoff pictures are starting to emerge. One team has won at all, and that's a Chevy Silverado, a truck with unstoppable grit and determination. According to JD Power, listen to this, boys. Chevy trucks have earned more new vehicles. new vehicle quality awards than any other brand in the world. That is serious hardware.

That's a full trophy room. Head over to Chevy.com to learn more. The Silverado is a strong and dependable as the people who drive them, you. And for those nerds that want to look up and check, fact check everything, go to J.D.power.com forward slash awards to learn more about the Chevy Silverado Awards. Was I out of line for calling them nerds? That's what I'm saying. it's either a nerd, you're either a nerd or you're a hater. And if you're a hater, we're still

going to call you a nerd. Like, that's just what it is. Like, go check the stats, boys. Chevy's running it up out there. But no, this is, it's been an awesome year. We have a massive year coming up in 2023. We have some big things coming with the spring football tour. I think we're going to be out of the Super Bowl. We're going to be doing a lot of cool shit. I don't want to put my foot in my mouth and start speaking out of turn. But it's been a hell of a year. We're about to, I think it's fair to say, bless. you all bless you all with clips throughout the entire year since January. So if you're listening to this episode right now,

you're either a fucking tier one, a ride or die, which I know a lot of you are. Drop a comment if you're watching right now on YouTube, make sure you're subscribed to the channel. Or I would think that you're fairly new and you want to catch up throughout the entirety of the year and listen to some of the clips that you might have missed. We had on heavy hitters, boys.

We started off the year with an absolute bang. With Pat McAfee, with the pivot. KJ. Wright, Ryan Whitney, Brennan Shob, Fred Taylor, the boys Midland, Mike and Skis, Shane Gillis,

KFC, and Fidelberg came on the podcast. Michael Chandler, Chris Long. We always have the Holson Boys podcast. Special shout out too to JJ Redick. He came on. Eric Wood, Taylor Heineke, Melvin Gordon, Brian Erlacker, Greg Olson, Foster Moreau,

Shane Gillis, did I have I said Shane yet? Shane's been on the pot a couple times. Mike Chandler, Guinea comes on after every fight to recap the fights with us.

Jelly and Err and Delaney Walker, Pac-Man Jones, Jared Allen. If there's somebody, they've probably been on the bus. If they haven't been on the bus, they're probably coming on the bus next year. But sit back, pop open a nice bottle of Bustin with the boys, bourbon whiskey from Whistlepick. If you don't know, you know now. But any retailer that carries Whistlepick is carrying our bourbon, go buy you a bottle.

Enjoy the holiday. Enjoy the new year. I hope you had a good Christmas. Drink some whiskey. Sit back and enjoy this best of episode from Bustin with the boys. You know, something I read about grief, actually, that I want to share. Grief is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but can't.

All that love. gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and the hollow part in your heart. And grief is just love with no place to go. That was something that was, you know, not, you know, necessarily comforting, but you like to be able to wrap your brain about around any emotion you're feeling at the time. You know, again, I'm just somebody who cleans all that stuff and the church service, everybody was all time. What's crazy is the amount of people that were there that I just, just had no clue who they were or had never met them. And you just kind of see that the impact that, uh, that she had on everybody.

You don't look at that photo and think, oh, Nebraska is a football factory. You think what in the hell is going on? Why, this is why these boys are three and nine. We got that dude hitting spread eagle. We're talking sack on the floor, dude. And the photographer, there's a photographer there that's taking a picture. I think I was texting with JP and JP's like, yeah, photographer had to say, uh, hey, yeah, man, this is fire. Like, what are we doing? And when that happens, the photographer needs to

hey, man, we, we ain't doing that. Or you need to go tell the coach, like, hey, we need to pull this scally. But my question is, how is this any different than your peekie blinders haircut? Oh, oh, come on. We're talking about peekie blinds. We're talking about gang stuff, bro. We're talking killing. We're talking mob stuff. We're talking selling liquor and alcohol and dealing with guns, not doing splits. And that ball came out. Number one, I was having to try and defeat this block from 31 the entire way down the field, which is the most exhausting thing on punt team, is fighting a block all the way down the field.

Get off him. See the ball come on the ground. Bro, I am so wide-eyed. I'm like, oh, let's go, dude. Like, if I get on this ball, cancel Christmas. Did you see your teammate? No, no. No, I did not.

You barely see it. You're thinking I'm probably going to get the ball watching the clip. Comes out of sight on me and just dies right before I get on it. We're down there, and I'm, like, trying to, like, protect him and stuff like that. And I'm also, hey, hey, let me get that. Hey, let me get the ball.

I need this. The last four years, I've learned so much more about football. You're out there during the game. No, like in games, when you go into a four minute, we have like our rules in our head. We're in the huddle talking about it. Go score. Yeah, that shit was annoying. Can I ask you a question a quick about this next two minute coming up?

What's the mindset with this much? Go score. Okay. Go score. That's the mindset. So my thought was, are we going to do two minute like we were. are we going back to regular ball? But he didn't let me finish, so I'll

like a fucking ass on the thing. It was so funny, bro. Got my ass. I saw that video. I was like, got my ass, dude. I mean, I think that's a big reason why so many guys have been able to come in and know what to do and play fast. Right. Because he fucking, he breaks shit

down at a really good level for players to absorb that and know it. Whenever you get on the other side of the album that you're making, and then you see it for what it is, and then you realize you put way too much pressure on yourself during that time frame. And then to me, that's how you, that's how I kind of learn and look back like, man, we took that shit way too seriously. And you can kind of like, all right, you forgive yourself and then move on and know how to approach it the next time.

And that's kind of what I was alluding to. It's okay to put that type of pressure on yourself to get what needs to be done done to then have the success or the failure. We've all gone through that and look back and say, man, I'll put way too much pressure on myself. And then you grew to here. And now the next time you have a little bit of more of a unique perspective and you're probably still going to put that age thing you were talking about earlier some things are meant for the skillet some things are meant for the crockpot yeah exactly god damn there we go let's go man you're drawing some jizz today boy in all three of our industries whether it's it's music or athletics in the NFL or me winning winning fights losing fights

maybe getting the contract not getting the contract the ups and downs losing sponsors keeping sponsors it's just you got to understand too that the the journey is the goal sometimes too like we always get focused on that one goal when really what if it's just the journey to get there that is going to make you the man and the woman that you are so you're galvanized on the other end of it you know you're you the man that you become by getting cut signed cut signed like all these different things you do all the different things that we've been through you know it's and it's just a part of the journey it's kind of that thing where it's like the stories that you'll be able to tell your daughter about her grandmother will be what immortalizes her.

You know, and the cool thing about what we do, and this is the blessing to me and you have that our generation has, that our parents' generation didn't have, we are immortalized through that. My daughter will watch these. She will show, my daughter's daughter, daughter, will show these to her kid. Many moons after me and Bailey are even gone. It's like, hey, this was your great, great, great-grandfather. This should be on YouTube forever, dog.

You know what I mean? Somebody's some, because, listen, I've got a lot. loss and a lot of stupid YouTube wormholes. I'd give anything for one of them to have been my great grandfather.

You know what I'm saying and kind of see what kind of weird fucking philosophies he had, you know? Yeah. So it's like your mother and podcasts like this

and stories like this will be immortalized for your daughter and that stuff will carry on forever, dog. And this is, it's important and it's a blessing, man.

First off, there's got to be a rule with these revs. They got to be in better shape. Like, this is not me like coming at reps. This is literally me just saying like,

in high, intensity. The way the game is evolving. The way the game is evolving, how fast everything's going, how guys do you play more, no huddle, like a turbo type of thing where you're kind of just muddle huddling the whole time. And the ref has to touch the ball. Now, that dude ripped it from all the way back. As soon as he saw a DAC running a QB draw, he should have started coming up the field also. And they probably would have got it off. But the center's also got to look to the line judge to make sure he knows where the line is to back it up and put it down. I love that. You know what I'm saying? Better shape. Like there should be a test. There should be like a test.

And another thing, too, like... Every quarter of the year, there should be, whether it's a kind of... Or just like a test and make sure that they're in shape and they can handle their job. Yeah, because those guys have regular jobs, they have regular jobs, too. They're good dudes.

Like, I know a lot of these refs, they're great dudes. The NFL consistently gets, like, the athlete evolves, bigger, faster, stronger. Like, we need the same evolution with these referees. When game day happened, I think Foxy was with me, and maybe Zito was with me. And we were sitting there,

I'm like, I'm going off of that fucking pontoon for sure. And I think Zito was like, oh! like a little bit of a little bit of a thing so I think somebody had heard you know she was like do you want me to go ask if it's deep enough and we're like yes that's something I would have never thought of and while I'm walking to the boat she's like asking the person as I'm getting close and then he says no it's not deep enough and then she says no it's not deep enough like to me as I'm getting on the boat and it was like hmm I think I got to go yeah I think I'm going to take the

I think I still got to go, yeah. But the water was not seethru. It was a river. I could have died. I could have impaled myself, but that would have been fucking, like, used to going out on the football field. Could you imagine if I went out?

If I went out doing a belly flop into the brassis on college fucking game day, that would be getting pretty good views. They'd get more than Adam Cole. I got my T-chip when I was 11 years old. His name was Travis. And I went up and it was like a cool, older white dude in my project. We was in the projects.

Yeah. And he was like, hey, you want to ride these rollerblades? And I was like, fuck yeah, I want to ride rollerblades. How old was this dude? He might have been a pedophile. Yeah, it sounds like it, dude. He was 40. Hey, boy, kid, you want to write these rollerblades?

So Travis gave him a road back road down the hill. I was doing good down the hill, but I didn't know how to stop and all that, you know. And I hit a speed bump, went up in the air. And the first thing came down was my mouth. And it, fuck. I remember feeling like the warmth of my teeth hitting the ground. So Travis took his bullshit ass up the hill. Yeah.

And I'm just sitting there on the big ass shit. I'm glad. Hey, give me the rollerblades. I'm glad it didn't fuck me. My shit talking, because I don't, like, I've been told in the field people are going to shoot me or this, that, and the other. I'm going to get murdered. Shoot?

Yeah, shoot me. A little weird. Like murder. Who are you going to be in against? Who is it? Hey, I'm not going to say names. I mean, don't want that person to get in trouble. Can you say the team?

But this is my heart. Jacksonville Jaguars. But talk about your Legion of Boomiers, dude. I don't even know what specifically we can talk about how you guys should have handed the ball to Marshall and Lynch. Man, I was surrounded by some freaking superstars. And I didn't even realize, like, these are my boys, like, you know, Cam, you know, Sharm. These are the homies. Like, we came in here together.

But when you, like, look at it, like, we were, like, the Beatles of the NFL. He said it. He said it. He started me. saying that. And it's like, when we stepped on the field, it's like, you could like low-key see, like, guys were, like, intimidated to play against us. 100%. Like, guys knew, like, y'all don't, they don't stand a chance. And I was just surrounded by greatness. Just surrounded by greatness. And we just kicked ass for a solid five years.

What was I doing the other night? Oh, so my daughter, my oldest daughter, Win Rebel, she's, we're trying to potty train to win Rebel dude and she's like she goes to bathroom she can do all the things she needs to do but like at nighttime

she's got to wear the pull-up and the pull-up is where she has a tough time and every morning we wake up I'm like hey did you potty in your diaper she says yeah literally says like this yeah but I'm a kid

and that happens straight up says it just like that says it exactly like that and so I was talking to her the other night as me and her mom were trying to put her to sleep and I go I go hey like do your best

not to not to pee in your diaper And she's like, why? And then for whatever reason she bought up like Santa. I was like, no, you're not going to be on the Nottie list if you can't pee in your diaper. Like, that's not how we rule. You know, we don't rule with an iron fist type of mentality in the LeWan household. Like, you're on the Nautilist if you pissed your bed.

Like, who gives a shit, right? I still do it sometimes when I've had too many whistle pigs. So I call, like, I call Will, dude. And I'm like, hey, what do you do? He goes, oh, you know, just at Whole Foods. And I'm like, all right. Hey, I'm laughing to myself, dude. Go ahead.

I was in the cheese section. Yeah. Garrett and JP know how I am like getting those box of cheese. I'm like trying to find the right snack. Because the housewarming part of this weekend. Yeah, that too. And I'm looking around at all the different cheese. Taylor calls out here, you know, the Halloween theme song come up.

That's Taylor's ringtone. Answer, he's like, hey, what are you doing? I was like, you know, I'm at full, you know, I'm at Whole Foods. Just doing it. You go, I'm going to call you back in two minutes. I need you to be Santa Claus for when. I was like, hang on what? He goes, I need you to be Santa.

That's not what happened. You go, you go, okay. And I go, hey, here's what we're going to do. Now, this is where Will's brain turned off. I go, I'm still looking, I'm gazing. This is where Will's brain just completely turns off. He goes, I go, hey, can you be Santa?

He goes, uh-huh. And then goes, done with the brain part. And this is now looking at his cheeses. And I say, hey, don't make this about naughty list or nice list. Like, just encourage the child. You're talking a little faster than that. Come on, you remember. You remember the tone of my voice, but you can't remember what I said?

You weren't like, you know, hey, let's not make this about the naughty and nice list. I said, don't make it about the naughty and nice list. I said, don't make it about the naughty. All right, I'll fuck the way I talk. don't make it about the not of your nice list. Like, just talk to her and give her words of encouragement so she doesn't pee in her diaper as she goes asleep. And yeah, this is Will looking for the cheeses.

And he goes, yeah, uh-huh. All right, cool, yeah. So, all right, hang up, change it from Will Compton to my phone to Santa. I go, when? I'm about to call him. She goes, call who? I'm calling Santa. So I call Santa on my phone.

And Santa picks up. Santa also decides not to change. one in fluxes their voice at all. It's just Will's voice who wins around all of the time. He goes, William, what's up, stud? He goes, hello?

And he goes, hello? He goes, literally without fucking changes his voice, he goes, do you know who this is? And Wynne's like, Santa? And she's like, yeah, that's right. And I look at Taylor. I kind of get, I look at Taylin, like, I'm the fucking dad of the year.

Like, I just, I'm like, I'm giving her an eye shoulder struggle like I fucking did this. Before Tielan can even crack a smile or a frown, Will goes, here you're having trouble in the potty. Which is not what we talked about. It's about in bed.

And he goes, I've been looking over, you gotta relax. You gotta relax, dude. Literally the first fucking thing he says is heard you having trouble in the potty. No happiness in his voice. Heard you having trouble in the potty.

Well, I've been looking over my list over here and you wouldn't want to be on the naughty list, would you? And I look at Taylor. I said, you're toe in the line with the naughty and nice list. Like, without saying it out loud, goes, what the fuck is he doing? Like, mouse that. I mean, I go, we discussed this. And he goes, you want to.

And Taylor goes, and he goes, shh. Like, hey, what the fuck is he doing? Shish. Like, I think, I got so much faith in Will. I know he's going to write that. He's going to fix that issue. So he fucking, I know, I've shoved my wife. I've switched my wife to stop, stop listening or stop judging Will

and knowing that he's going to bring this around. full circle and be like, yeah. And I have to listen to Will for the next four minutes. Tell Wyn how, if she doesn't get it together, basically she's going to be on the naughty list. Like, without changing his voice, and then at the end, hey, hey, no, no, no, no.

At the end, he goes, he goes, hey, Wynn. And by this point, Wynne's kind of like fucking done listening to Santa. Rose Seda's an asshole now. He goes, hey, Wynn. Hey, Wynne. Hey, Wynne.

He goes, yeah? He goes, promise me you're not going to be in the bed anymore. And it's quiet for, she doesn't say anything. He does say anything. And he goes, promise me. Promise me, win. Promise me, win. And it startled her.

Like, it was quiet for seven seconds, which is so long. Promise me you're not going to be in the bed anymore. Promise me. What the fuck, dude? I promise. I just get off. She goes, okay. Okay.

He just says, okay. fucking hangs up. She presses the button. Like, I'm done talking to Santa now. She's fucking at the red button. And I look at my wife and go, I'll let you fix that. And he just leave and walk downstairs. Went from thinking I'm the best dad ever to I might have fucked up my kid.

That might have been a core moment. She was like, would you stop believing in Santa? The minute he was being an asshole to me. That's the minute I fuck I stopped believing in Santa. I said, all right, I'll see you next next year of Christmas. Bye, wins. We get off the phone and in my head, I'm thinking, oh my God, dude, I'm sweating.

body that. He can't fucking bite the phone goes, you know what, I will take that cheddar. Yeah. I will take that expensive

cheddar. Put it over here. Did a couple good things over here. I don't know if you heard. He called me and goes, bro.

Bro, that couldn't have gone and I'm thinking he's going to say any better. He goes, any worse. And we just are laughing.

He goes, what are you talking about? Like, didn't catch any of the fucking words I said, dude. I told you not to mention the naughty or nice list.

I said, shit, I missed that part. It was the only fucking part. It was the part. Oh, bro. He heard an opportunity to be Santa. He was stoked.

You want to know what's wild? Didn't read the script. What's up? Because we were all in a group chat. I'm dying laughing. I'm sending voice messages. I'm just doing circles around Whole Foods. Like crying, laughing, not getting anything off the shelves.

I'm just doing lap after lap. And I did feel really bad about it. And the whole way home, I'm thinking about how I'm going to tell Charles's story. And I pretty much pretend to be Santa. if I got another opportunity at this thing. I'm like, man, how could I have done this? And I'm like doing it all on the way home. I think I'd be pretty good now.

Do you think what's the first thing you would do? Maybe change the sound of your voice? Oh, yeah, 100%. Oh, ho, ho. Talk to me as Santa. Let me sit on your lap. Hi. Hang on a second.

You got to be your best Santa. You got to fix this, all right? This is for my daughter. Ho, ho, ho. Hello, Wynn. Do you know? know who this is. It's Santa?

Wait, no, no, no, hang on. Ho, ho, ho. Hi, Wyn, this is Santa Claus. We're on the phone, but I guess you're sitting on my lap. Oh, yeah, rats. We're at the ball now. Okay. Hi, Wynn.

I'm fucking out of you, dude. That's terrible. That's terrible. Oh, my God. All that hurt. Oh, sweaty boy. I would, you know. I would, you know.

Give you your best fucking girl. Dude. Oh, Rudolph. Get off the couch. Ouch, you know how Rudolph gets when he doesn't play his reindeer games. She's kind of talk to her. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.

Did you really? Yeah. That's so funny, dude. That's so fucking funny. Gosh. You did it. I mean, you did it poorly. But you got it done.

I got it done at the drop of a head. You know what I mean? Like, I didn't have any time to prepare. You caught me in the middle of like trying to decide something. You know how my brain is. I can't focus on one thing at a time. Yeah, you got to open that map. out, dude, ingests at all.

As far as like a camaraderie guy, like a locker room guy, there's no one better. I've ever met in my life. Who gets along with everybody? Even if he doesn't know somebody or he knows he's met them before, he's like, what's up? Dude, good to see you. And like, dab him up. And, like, you can just tell that person's like, yeah, Will loves me. It's like, Will doesn't even know you at all.

Oh, what are you talking about? I'm complimenting you. Yeah, but you're acting like, I don't give a fuck about the person. No, you care about people, but it's like, when you come in with that energy, it's not like you're giving that energy because there's that special to you. He's lying to you right now. He did outside. I went to shake his hand.

He goes, no, get in here, buddy. Yeah, it was awesome. You felt in a warm, right? I was like, fuck, I love Wilcompton.

It all changed. It all changed when his teeth changed. Before. When he hugged me, I got a little of this fucking guy's white jibs are wider than those numbers right now. Yeah, Christ. Yeah, those things are standing.

What's the cost of 30K? They look great, though. Fifteen. Jesus. I get over there, and there's a driver. There's a driver. There's a driver for all the imports.

You can't drive over there. Why can't you drive over there? Because, like, it's Russia. Like, they'll fucking take you. And it's just, there's no chance an import can drive over there. Every team has a driver for the imports. And so this guy's driving. This guy's driving us.

It's the second day. And all of a sudden, the cops are behind us. I'm like, oh, fuck. And the cops, we get pulled over. The guy pulls over Vadim. I'll never forget. I have a picture. I'm in the hot tub with Vadim.

He's my boy. Haven't spoken to him since I left. So the cop walks up to the window. And he puts down the window like this far. and Vadim just takes a bunch of cash, bunch of roubles, and just hands it out the window. Is that like marbles or is that the currency? That's the cash.

Got you. And hands it to the cop, and he says, blah, la la la, and leaves. Get the fuck out of here, dude. Can you tell us about the Russian gas and the vitamins? The Russian gas is nuts.

I played a game. Well, which is a Russian gas? So Russian gas is... I remember here in business. Before the game... Oh, we just regurgating shit? I love that. So the guys that I was playing with the Russian guys

before the game, Like after warmups, I'm talking like 10 minutes for a puck drop, they'd go in and all of them would be on an IV. And I'm like, what is going on? What is that? And the guy's like, you try, you try, you try, you try, you feel strong, you feel strong. I was like, well, I don't know, I don't know. And finally we played a game. And the team was good.

And I was like, all right, fuck this. Like, this is probably my last year playing hockey. And I went in. And after warm, so I got this IV. And I got on the ice. I was like, oh, my God, I am flying. I'm talking. I'm talking, I'm like, I'm going to play in the NHL again.

No, I was like, this isn't over. This isn't over. Next day we had practice, and I was like, wait a minute, I suck again. What the hell was that? You know, I asked me to come out with me on Saturday. I was like, hey, you're about to have a kid. How can we ask me a while? Well, I didn't even have your number.

And this is like, this is the first moment we've met, right? We would have known you were there. We would all been together at some way. I didn't know you were there. We got out, went out and got pretty rowdy. And, you know, as the game was in, I'm like, well, let's go out. Let's go, June, you're not going to have a baby, and you're not going to be able to go out. I know.

You have a leash. Yeah. Oh, that's tough. Hey, it's hard. What are you going to say to that? I'm just saying I had been day drinking all day long, man. I knew what it was. Like, I knew when we went out, the fun, the peak of the night was at Nissan Stadium for us.

Yeah. We were so rowdy. We were yelling. I was already losing my voice. I knew if I went out, we were going to be standing there. And it was going to be like 2 a.m. And it's like, you don't have to explain, brother. You don't have to you, bro.

Just say, man, I went home. Yeah. I wanted to go home. You're right. You're right, man. He's headed the fuck out of you, dude. What an honor, though. Hey, I'll tell you what we'll have a ticket.

What a fucking honor. And Will touch on this for a second, but it's so different the way he is in the building and the way he is out of the building. Because when you, when he first got to the Titans, everybody had like this, like an asshole, always. Always got a lipper and sucking on a vape. Yeah. He walked by his car. Oh, yeah. Marblos and this is the console.

Needs to be these. Yeah. Yeah, this photo, we took that on Saturday. I was like, Ray, what's up? You trying to sign me for a year 10? What are we trying to do? Dude, that's hilarious. Kick slides in front of him, punt sets.

He's like, hey, drag hand, drag hand. And so, but like in the building, he kills Will when Will was on the team. Verbalt, and then outside the building, I think Braybole is, like, Will is his favorite player he's ever coached. So I come back on the beach and I look at my buddy Brown Brown, my head, dude, you got to try this. Go walk to the bar like you're going to go get another dosakis. And this girl's going to come to you and grab you by the penis. I end up talking him into it. Same thing happens.

Walks up. She comes out of the alleyway and grabs him. Just the same way. But he's immediately like, no, I'm good. I'm all set. She reaches into his pocket, pulls out of all his money. He's like, what the fuck? Give me my fucking money.

He starts yelling at the girl. And she darts back into her little alleyway that goes out to the main street. Chase is after this broad. And I drink it. I chase after the guy. I get to the alleyway. And it's like literally like a high school fight scene's about to go down. Like these two are like kind of squaring off with each other.

This girl and my buddy. And he's like in her face about. $80. Some dude named Bito. He's about five, two tall, about five, four around. He's like, hey, what are you guys doing here? And he's like, this bitch stole my money. And he looks at her and he goes, bitch.

And he goes, yeah, this girl stole my money. And he was, buddy, that's not a girl. That's a guy. And he pulls up the shirt on this jack-a-lanard woman, and she's got a bulge bigger than mine. It's all good. You used to not smile. Really?

No, when I first met him. When I was, whenever we would take a picture you do like this. Yeah, if we're talking about photos. Yeah. Not that I didn't laugh my ass off. Oh. What? You have fake teeth.

Erica. What does this happen on every goddamn show? Oh, yeah. They're fake. Oh, yeah. Pull him up. Look at that. Aw.

Look at those things. It totally changed him. It changed him as a person. Were you always dying to do it? Yeah, it was always something I kind of wanted to do. And then when I came to Tennessee and I was in like a new place on a new team, you know, a new team knew me. Yeah.

I love it. I ended up getting him. And everybody would try and like do the whole like, hey, it's your stitch, man. Like it's part of your personality. You can't change that. Nobody cares, X, Y, Y, Y, Z. But now it's a little different. Yeah.

Now you look back at it and you're like, oh, fuck, his mouth was fucked up. Like, he had his, his little friend had his fifth birthday party. And it's like, dude, for my fifth birthday party, I got a fucking cupcake. My dad let me watch a cartoon. Yeah. This party, dude. It's not real, man. They had a fucking chocolate fountain that was made out of the kid.

You know what I'm saying? Like, in this stupid money was doing magic. David Blaine's doing magic. David Blaine's there? David Blaine's there? But no, how defeated was David Blaine Like, making animals Pulling buddies at a hat

Like, what the fuck am I doing? No one's paying attention on. I was like, I went up to him. I was like, what's up, dude? You know, like, because the kids are playing with their fucking Legos. They don't give a fuck about David Blaine. I don't know that they're in the presence of greatness.

Yeah, well, yeah. It's magic, but yeah. Yeah, but still, it's pretty cool. Yeah, but. Yeah, people who pay. Hey, that was a tough deal. You're right. Hey, that was on me.

That's on me. People who pay a top dollar for birthday parties is pretty, uh. Oh, shit. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, we're like that. Oh, really? Yeah.

You're saying you're no fucking cupcake. That's for the answer. I'm not trying to one up you guys. I'm going to say it's my idea. It's your guys' business model. But eight years ago, I did fly to Ohio State during their spring training camp and have Urban Meyer on. So I was really close with Urban Meyer. Yeah.

That's a tough play, though. Look at back now. It didn't go well. Yeah, Urban Myers kind of, I mean, look what's happened to him. That's a tough look. I realized that was with cancel culture today. Oh, that's cool. The guy can't have a few drinks and grab an ass?

Are your narrative? We're going to fucking say, I'm going to want up you guys. That's ours. We're taking that. He's going to bring up Irmaier. We've got to pull you back down. Now, it didn't go great because I was making fun of him for being a white cornerback in the 60s. Yeah.

And he was not taking the jokes. Well, in the 60s. It went very rough. In the 60s, it was kind of like an only white guy party, right? I told him, I was like, you know he wouldn't play if it was today. No question. He wasn't, he wasn't like laughing with you or nothing? No, no, no.

He didn't. He was like, sure. and then we'll just get past them. God, that's got to be a tough interview. He's got me what it seems like, monster ego. Back in the day, it was Scholastic Sports. They used to get the top guys come down and film their games. And if you made Scholastic Sports, like you were, you know, big stuff.

They called my coach the day of the game and say they weren't going to make. Broke my heart. Yeah. So I decided to go out and drink as many 40s as I can for the game. And then I'm in Florida, so we didn't have 40 ounce. We have just 32 ounce. Quartz, is what they call them. Yeah.

So I had to drink three of them in order to be two 40s. Coach said, hey, no, they canceled. Something happened with their travel arrangements. They're not going to come. I was like, all right, fuck it. I'll see you guys when it's time to check in. I made it to the campus after 340s. Got dressed, lined it up.

I had 350 yards on like 15 carries, five touchdowns. Oh, my God. Fort Pitt Central. I'll never forget the school, man. They were pretty dope. You know, they were like 5A, we were 3A. best game ever. I started to drink some more fucking 40s

the next year. No doubt. So I heard, and you correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that Georgia left a duffel bag at $30,000. I heard it was 50. 50,000. I heard it was 50.

Either way, you can correct us, but they left you a duffel bag to sign with them over Florida. You ended up choosing Florida and kept the duffel bag. It wasn't a duffel bag. Yeah. But it was a gang of cash, man,

and, uh... Hey, 30 or 50. It was up there. It was, it was... He might have another zero. Closer to 50? It was closer to the 50. And those were the days, man.

It was the days I would just go over to this guy's place and say, hey, I'm in West Palm. I'm visiting my mom. I'll come by my place. $1,015, $3,000. Every time I went over, and I went over three, four times. Parting with Snoop, that would be all the time. You would be so high. Yeah.

Regardless of whether you wanted to or not. Right. Yeah. Just second hand. Just second hand, just stoned out of your mind. 100%. to smoke with Snoop Dog or Willie Nelson? Willie Nelson.

You think it'd be harder? Mm-hmm. Well, elaborate. Why do you think? I think there was a story that came out of Willie Nelson smoking. It was like Snoop and Wiz Khalifa under the bus. No shit.

Yeah. Under the bus. There you go. Yeah, I think Toby Keith wrote a song about he'll never smoke weed with Willie Nelson again. Yeah. He was like that. I don't know.

That's what I heard. I think I heard that. Maybe it was flipped, but I'm pretty sure it was Willie Nelson. And you had the unanimous thing saying you got, you're seeing ghosts out there. Right. Seeing ghosts. Hey, that's a tough meme.

Yeah, it is. No, it's a, it's a tough thing to handle, you know, to this day. So when all that stuff cycling, what are you thinking about that? It's interesting because, like, in our room, in a quarterback room, we would see guys kind of like in the pocket, you know, you have some quarterbacks flinch a little bit. We would say, oh, they're seeing ghosts out there. And so, like, said that to my coach at the time, you know, when we were, you know, down 40 to nothing.

Yeah. Because I was just pissed and didn't know what to say, to be honest. And it happened and they got it on live TV. So were you miced up? Who was miced up? Oh, you fucked up. Yeah. That's on you.

I was hoping it'd be like a coach or something like that. But you sold yourself out. No, it's for sure on me. I'll take that one to the grave. I'll take that one to the grave, no doubt. But hey, listen, everyone has bad games. That was the worst game by far that I've ever played in my life. And I own up to it.

Rank the best shit talkers. I think the first one that comes off at the top of my head is Jalen Ramsey. Yeah. Yeah, Jalen is that he just, the thing that makes an art of shit talking is a lot of guys talk shit in the first quarter. It's when the second, third and fourth quarter hit. If you're still talking in the fourth quarter, one, your conditioning is phenomenal. Right. Like you can run and go all day.

I think Jalen would probably be number one. A sleeper to me is Trey Hendrickson, the DN from the Bengals. Yeah, a white boy. I played him when he was at the Saints and he got like a sack and a half on me. I had a tough game. In the beginning of the game, we're playing the playoffs.

And he, I like got in his face a little bit and he's like, remember what happened last time? You remember what happened last time? I'm like, damn, this dude keeps receipts. Now when I think about Mike Stud, like I literally grimace. I grimace because...

The legend of Mike Stud is pretty big. Yeah, like it worked. You know what I mean? And I'm thankful. I don't regret it at all because I actually don't know if it would have stuck if it didn't have such a... It's just obnoxious. Like, you know what I mean?

When you look like I do like I'm a white kid, a big baseball player, I don't look like most artists in a sense where it's just kind of feel coming from Duke. It's just like so easy to dislike, you know, and I totally get why a lot of people kind of feel like, fuck this guy. Duke is a very dislikable school. Mike's a guy from Duke and fucking laughing. Just party in Tennessee, you're partying guy and got around you. Yeah, like partying and fucking bitches and drinking bud lights. Like this guy, you know? And I understand.

I understand, but like I look back at him, I'm just like, man, that was exactly who I was. You know, like, just like this is who I am now. And that's why I couldn't be Mike Stud anymore because it wasn't real anymore. You know, like, it's the same notion. To be honest, like, if you said, hey, like, you're going to have a real music career, I wouldn't have picked Mike Stead.

If I'm an independent artist, I have to hop in bed and do business with the record label to put those songs out. Now, I'm willing to, you know? Yeah. I'm willing to. But these record labels have huge rosters with huge schedules and posts their biggest cash cow.

They're working on his album. What's good is I have, the only reason this even happened is because we're buddies. So Post has a strong enough voice to say, fuck it, we're doing this. So that's really what I'm going to need for it to see the light of day. And if it doesn't come out, you guys know Post didn't do that. So go. Yeah, it's on Post.

We'll have them all. I'll call him right after this. No. But no, man, he's like the best guy ever. He was a neighbor of mine in Los Angeles. I mean, we spent so much fucking time together. And it just had a great experience. And then we made some, a lot of great songs together.

you know, a handful of great songs together. So to answer your question, it's kind of up in the, it's up in the air. It's all in post. Yeah, it's all in post. You've been in three fights? Me and Taylor, yeah. Yeah. Why?

When are you three and oh? I gave him spankins one day for his birthday. That was when we first got on the bus. I put you over that couch. Yeah, I was all about it. And I changed you real bad. Give Daddy a 30 full spankins. Then we wrestles.

one time yeah I slept on you you tossed my ass there's no question about it fucking toss me you used a restaurant he's from Bontair Missouri yeah I had a feeling yeah but what happened after that right after you tossed me you got really mad then it's like he's got real serious well I tossed him and I'm kind of laughing because I got his ass and his wife in the background goes oh shit oh no he starts like on the ground he starts trying to like choke me and shit I like hey fucking take it easy man but yeah he wasn't that's one way to fucking say the way I went I'm not gonna argue with it because we're doing a show to do but the second

time was in Miami with boss was there boss you saw what happened yeah we got a video buddy I don't know if you want to go to this thing what happened so they asked you to go they asked you to go on stage is the main stage that SNL like the real life monologue part yeah holy yeah that was that was scary I bet it was empty the room's empty so you go up there by yourself and how many people are in it camera like eight eight people at a table watching and correct me if I'm wrong but I've been told that when you go up there it's like a known thing that they're not gonna laugh at anything you say that's what I was told and then the first joke they laughed and I was like oh shit this is great yeah I'm killing it right now

you know I'm done and then like within a couple days they're like we're hiring you and then a couple days later they're like we want you to not be a writer we want you on the cast this year which started in like two weeks oh no shit I was like yo this is crazy it was like the first time I was able to like call my parents be like shit's you know what this is like normally it's like I'm going on the road they're like, who cares? Right. Finally, I was like, S&L.

American parents would. Yeah, they're like, you're a loser. But that shit really pissed me off, and then I'm driving, and I go to take a left to come to the bus, and a motherfucker, bro, I don't understand how people don't get out in the middle a little bit to turn left when the light's going to turn red. Hey, that is the most annoying shit. They stay behind the line.

And then it turns red, and they don't even go. And it's yellow, and fucking they could have went, bro. And they just sit there. I was so fucking mad. gave a honk and then you know how you do one of the things where you're not gonna do nothing but you're staring and then when you drive next to him you drive by you kind of do one of those fucking like yeah i'll look i'll stare you down motherfucker yeah bitch and then turn left into the bus holy shit dude you're unhinged you're out of control and then oh oh no dude got the uh unloading truck dude our parking lot

like if you have an unloading truck fucking bring it in our parking lot and just use up all of our fucking spaces. Because... I've never seen him this mad. You know what I mean? I've never seen who I like this before. I couldn't even park in our parking lot.

Do you ever get a gun? Yeah. And then that first night, that night I had sex, I fucked it up so bad that it changed me for the rest of my life. Get to 17 years old and I'm like, I am chomping at the bit.

Get a girlfriend. I knew she had sex before, so I'm like, cool, right? So we get a case in Natty light, a pet cemetery and two condoms. We watched the pet cemetery, and then my chick's like, hey, do you want to go into the bedroom?

And I'm like, it's happening. Drop my pants to the knees. I undo the condom, and I've never seen a condom before. And I'm like, okay, so I unroll it all the way, and I'm like, that's a lot bigger than I thought need.

Roll it back four inches. I'm like, there we go. That'll suit it. I go to slide it over, and as I push it down, it inflates. No joke, I'm trying to squeeze the air out of it. It's going,

so I go back out to Hartley. I'm like, I need that other condom. I go back in. I put the condom on. I remember putting it on felt good. I get on top of her. I'm in, pull out, and it's over. I come.

I'm done. And she looks at me and goes, are you going to put it in? I look down my dick's between her butt cheek in the bed. I didn't even fuck her. Lost my virginity to a mattress. But it goes the opposite way, too. I was at Zanis last night,

and this little dude was there wearing a tank top. It said gay for democracy. And I was like, yeah, that shirt's hilarious. Yeah. It works perfect because I'm gay. And he fucking, he was like, ushering. people in and out and I see his little tiny hand kind of come out the door and like wave

me over and I'm looking at this little hand I'm like damn I bet dicks look so big in that little tiny hand you know what I'm saying? Massive they put massive in those little hands but it kind of goes with everyone everyone's bodies are totally different yeah remember the first time you found out boys not all boys had the same size dicks

remember the best I can that came out wrong do you remember the first time you went into a locker room and everyone was naked and you were like and you were like well hang on we don't have the same size dicks? And you were like, I remember one dude had a hog, and I knew him, and it was my size and my age. It changed your life.

I just was like, oh, I'm not taking my pants off in here. How often in anyone's day, thinking right now, no sports, can't talk about sports right now. How often do you go, sit in your couch and go, fuck yeah. Never, never, never. Never. You get your, even when your wife tells you're pregnant,

it's not that energy of when Gabe Davis scores a touchdown. Right. Like, it's just like, oh, quick, it's where I'm in a baby. But when, how often do you get to go, Fuck, God damn it, go, go, go. Like, with that energy, you get that when you're a fucking fan. When you're a fucking fan, he's selling me, Willie. Selling me, dude.

My favorite side, just period, in life is baked beans. It is my favorite side of all time. Oh, really? Yes. Dude, good baked beans. You can't beat on us. Okay. I'm talking, you lay out a nice cooking, what is it, like cookware glass.

What is that called? A dish, a cooking. dish. Okay. You throw in a couple cans of baked beans. Lay over top. Bacon strips. Oh. You cut rings of peppers. Place them over top. Slice a couple onions. Place them over top. Brown sugar. Catch up. Oh. More bacon. And you set that thing at 225 for a good two to three hours. And bro, those are the greatest baked beans that you can have. But anyway, Wait, your Mother's Day. Yeah, Mother's Day was dope, dude.

Welcome up in the morning. Pancakes. Pancakes for the squad. Here's the deal. Your boy doesn't know how to make pancakes. So, Tailing got up and made pancakes for the squad. It was kind of shitty, dude, because in my head, I'm, like, breakfast in bed. And, like, her first Mother's Day, I made her eggs, Benendix with some, that little sauce,

the Hollande sauce. Like, made it, scratch, went to the store the day before, like, made a whole entire plan. And I realized, like, I'm a terrible cook. Like, she's just doing this because she loves me. And so I got the pancake. And I'm like, Jason, make me some, batch me up some shit so I can just pour it in. By the way, once I saw Taylor making the pancakes,

that shit's just easier as fuck to make. Oh, yeah, no doubt. I'm out of light, and homie in front of me is going to turn left. Now, I think to myself, when I get up there, bro, I think to myself, oh, his front tires, his or her, front tires are ahead of, like, the median area, right? Where they have now access to go once the light is yellow. Like, they've already determined.

They've went past the white line. They've made their mark. They said, I'm moving. I'm going left for sure. Yeah. So what do I do? I sit there and I smile. I'm like, people are fucking learning.

people are watching. Like maybe I'll get to go with them. But God damn it, Will, that light turns yellow. And I start creeping forward a little bit, and they don't fucking move. Now, I see them in the back of their mirror. And they're kind of like, they realized they made a mistake. And they, I see their heads, I swear to God. I see their heads.

Oh, no, 180 turn back at me. You know what I did, Will? I fucking moved forward. And I shake my head like this. Nope. These people are turning left and they have to turn left, bubbling right and around this car. That's how much in the media in this car was. And that person sat there and looked like a fucking idiot.

Good. For 90 seconds, which is a really long time. I don't train it a ton, but it was more of a distance. It was more of a distance finder. But I feel like I remember the kick, though. A lot of times you don't remember the knockouts. You don't remember. You're just like, I got to see it on replay.

But I remember standing in front of him. I remember him circling this way. And I was like, let's see what happens. And I just, and there is no let's see what happens gingerly with me. I'm just like, let's see what. It's as hard as I could. And, yeah, dude, it just landed there and put them on the ground. Yeah, I thought you'd kill them.

And when, hey, when that first round, when you caught you at the stumble, we're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know, hey, it was legit, like a, like, straight up fans, like yelling at the TV screen. Yeah, don't wait the baby, don't wait the baby, but fuck, you know. No, we're watching our boy fight. Yeah, watching the boy fight. And it was legitimately, like, we were in there with you. Yeah.

When NF turned on, oh, ain't that something? You didn't hear that cover. Obviously, they're like, oh, my God. We're in this shit. I'm in the front row. But just like what you're talking about there, too, you can get that, like you said, you can get that with both.

Me fighting for the title. The boys, of course, like my closest dudes, but also the people who are just fans of me, they're going to feel that in a title fight, and they're definitely going to feel that in a counter fight. So it's almost... You're very polished. You're very good.

I'm going to put you back in the box. I put me... Individual personal, Mike Chandler. Which of those fights would you rather have? I want the title. So if you got to your next fight, it'd be the... title fight? I want Connor

because it used to be like, hey, you got a little speck in there, your ass is God. Sorry, Will, that was rude. And I'd be, and I'm okay. Now I'm starting to get in my bag. Oh, cool, cool, cool. I've heard you make comments about your piece before. Yeah, it's not the best. I mean, here's a deal. My, like, my penis, all jokes aside,

my penis... For six minutes and 38 seconds that we're talking about Taylor's dick. I like to think we're right on par with our podcast. I like, this is the trajectory you're usually. goes up, my penis is not big by any means. I don't look at it, I go, yeah, you know, I don't fucking, yeah. But I will say that it's super approachable. Yeah.

It's very handsome. So we were in COVID, so we're at home every day, all day long, up late at night playing risk. So the boy, we would laugh about it and take sometimes. Like I'd take an edible and then I'm sending a photo to you when I'm in the bed tonight. Yeah. So I'm taking a few edibles.

Is this funny? Should I say this? I might hire a guy to be with me when I'm going on. Well, go ahead. So whenever the new CBA or the nanogram levels went up, I remember ordering on Amazon just all a lot of drug tests. So I could figure out how many days a row I could go without it being in my system. No.

And then how long I took it to exit my system. So that way I knew like when I'm like earlier, I'm like, oh, I passed the test. Because in my head, like I did the science during COVID. You did. When we were trapped in the house. Hey, he was playing chess. Sounds like LeBron talking about his game winning shot. I've already taken this shot.

Like I've done. Like, I've done this in my head on my head on every time. Charles, like, we get another box. Like, oh, those are just my drug test? He's like, are you still doing that experiment? And I'm like, yes. You had asked your fans to pre-cancel you. Yeah, I would love to hear about that.

So, I don't know if you, you guys, I assume you know enough about my music. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That, Mike, we put out an album with these song titles and these lyrics. I'm going to get fucking canceled. Let's just give them a fucking shot. Let's beat him to the punch.

Cancelweiler.com. We'll give you the album for free. Burn it on social media. Let's get out in front of it. Because these people don't give a fuck what's actually on the record, you know? So let's just give them a chance to cancel me without hearing it. You can pre-order an album one

people to pre-cancel me. Like, cancel me before they even hear it. Yeah. Just to prove my point that they don't give a fuck about them. How did it do? We killed it. I love that. Yeah, I got pre-canceled.

I fucking love that. I got canceled before I open my fucking mouth. What's it like going in the checking all the fucking NFL Shlong. They got some looking wrenches in there, bro. Yeah, there's what I'm saying.

Like, is it... Some mean, real deal do-walt power tools going on a mare. You're saying like a piece of shit? Do you try to cover it up? No. You stand next to the linemen.

The linemen, they got small... Yeah, they got the gut. The more body fat you have, the more the dick goes away. I think it's like every 10 pounds overweight you are, you lose half an inch. I think that's a real fact.

We might have to Google that. Do you shower with your team after performances? Yeah, the band all showers and compares dick, you know? Yeah. No, we don't. Who have you seen that you've been impressed with?

You're now, you put me on the... That's why, so far I date this podcast because I can't remember the last interview where they're like, tell me the most impressive dick you've seen. They didn't ask me that on CMT. It's an art. Speaking of seasons, dude, it's summer boys.

And I don't want to take anyone's shout, I don't know if we show of the week, but I feel like we all just need to maybe have a moment of silence for summer. I felt nice. Dude, it's nice, dude. Nice. Oh, can't wait, dude.

You see, here's a difference between men and women when it comes to summertime. When summertime hits, men think of one thing. I'm gonna get a fire tan. Let's see, dude. Previews are low-key underrated in movies. I think I don't underrated at all. I think that's, you need...

If you miss previews, it's kind of like it ruins your movie. Yeah. Because you want to know, because you always want to have that side 20-second, furious... I see that. I like that. Lo-key, you want to forget what you're going there to watch.

Yes. Bro, you know what we need to do for real? Top golf. It's not very expensive at all to... rent out of theater. And they'd be like the six of us just chilling in there. Hey, Halloween ends comes out. Can't wait.

It pisses you off when you're like on your way to the movie and you're like late and somebody's like, yeah, we're going to make it by the movie. What are you stressing about? It's like, yo, why am I fucking rolling with this motherfucker, dude? No, if you don't fuck with the previous, it's like, you're not really a moviegoer. You were one of the most hated players in college basketball like history. Like obviously Duke as well, but like it just in college basketball in general. There were times where you talked about quitting.

Is it true that you've changed your number at the? times, like your cell phone number? Oh, my God. So, yeah, I mean, my, my sophomore year, I've probably changed it 10 or 15 times. There were so many nights that year where I don't know who was the culprit. Who from, it was somebody from Duke that had a friend at another school that would pass along my number. And, you know, it was UNC fans mostly and Maryland fans mostly. And back then, I had the Nokia, you know, and so, like, I don't know if you could do this, maybe in like the upgraded model, my junior and senior year. But early on, like, you could. couldn't set an alarm and simultaneously have it on silent. So I would just get calls all night

long, like 30, 40 calls. You know, as soon as like the number shows up at a Maryland party or at a Maryland bar, like my shit's blowing up over and over and over again. I would wake up at like 2 p.m. in the afternoon. I'd start chugging beers. I'd have a burrito, party through the night, wake up at 2 p.m. I'd do that for two straight weeks. No one knew where I was. I told my parents I was in summer school. I told Duke I was back home finishing my incomplete. One day I get a fucking rap, rap, rap at noon on the door of the apartment. And it's Coach Collins and Coach Wojo. By the way, I have one outfit. Blue Abercrombie shirt and Abercrombie cargo. Oh, it was the time. It was the times. Are we 195? I'm 225. I'm fat as fuck.

I hadn't shaved in like three weeks. My hair's like S.A.E frat boy hair. They're like, you know, come outside. We get in the car. We drive all the way back to campus. Let me pause real quick. Where's your anxiety at when these dudes knock on the door? 10 out of 10. There was bongs everywhere as well. Like, it was a bad scene. Beer, beer cans everywhere. In a way, though, I was like, finally.

Really? Yeah, someone came to get me. The boy put on a SPF 50 all over my body. And I'm thinking like, what are we doing, right? But I'm thinking I'm still going to get tan. But you're not just what, that's what women lie to you. They say, oh, you're saying, oh, you're saying, my first one day in the sun like that. So I'm thinking, like, let me protect this whole body.

If anybody needs to know how to get a tan, I'm going to help you out right now. First 20 minutes, don't put anything on. And then get dry and then spray yourself down. That's how you hit a base. Spray yourself down with the 50 or the 30 or the 30, whatever you want. Me personally, I'm a 30 to 50 on the face and no more than 30 on the body. 50's a lot, like for children. Just want to go back in the telling my...

Oh, sorry, go ahead. It was a big time interruption. You're right. I'm a piece of shit. Go ahead. Story's over, man. No, no, don't do that. Now.

Don't you dare bring up last year. Now. Those you dare bring up last year. We're like, mentally unfit. You know how you have the memory photos on your phone. Charles was like, oh, I forgot last year I was on my, my bachelor's party with the girls and stuff. I was like, oh, last one, we were on our bachelor parties on Memorial weekend. And so I sit back.

And I'm thinking, this motherfucker. This is when it starts to get a little personal for the boy. I'm like, this motherfucker goes on a bachelor party with Dylan. And I'm thinking like, this dude last year at this same moment in time, I had my bachelor party. And we're fucking boys for real. Like, he's in my wedding. And arguably could have been standing right by my side to be the best man. Two days before we left for the bachelor party, he asked me over at his house to sit me down and tell me he's not coming on the bachelor party.

Two days before, all the way leading up to it, he was going to the bachelor party. But now you look back and you understand like, all right, you made the right. Like, you're making the right decisions as you, like, choose your friends will. Pull up Clemson when they won the national championship. That you think, I was Jeffrey number in the first round by the Dolphins was doing the split-twerking that thing. Yeah, he, like dropped that shit down. He was looking and then hit, like on the fucking. He definitely, he was OD too.

I let Mike Williams hear about that. That shit's funny. Oh, that was funny? That was funny, though. That was funny, though. It was like. You know what I'm saying? He had a little bin in that joint, though.

You know what I mean? Oh, no. You know what? That's your, oh, yeah. That's a L-D. That's O-D. That's a-O-D. That's-O-D.

Hello-D. He's not-D. He's third, though. He's a little d. He tried to man it up at the end, though, with the bones. That's the little. He tried to,

hey, pull that back, dude. He tried to muscle it up, though, at the end. What do you mean muscle? The leg, the leg, he'll just hit the camera all the time. He's definitely wild. He's wild. He's definitely wild. He's definitely wild.

I never, yeah. No, he's cool for you. Oh, bro. Wow. Somebody called Mike Williams, man. Telling you that dog of that lab. Nah, bro, I don't play that. Wait, what are not playing? What do you say? What do you want to let a dog kiss him on the mouth?

Nah, bro, y'all tripping. What if it's a girl dog? You're all tripping, bro. What are you mean? Where y'all tripping, bro? You don't ever want to kiss the dog on the cheek on the hole? Y'all don't know. You don't do that?

We don't do that. Wait, wait, wait. Lay with you in the bed? Bro, you all tripping, bro. Bro. No way. I don't know. Jake you in the bed?

You got Jake in the bed? Oh, that's several is the last up, dude. He's got to push me away. And you all on your couch, too, huh? Yeah. No way, bro. What do you mean? Nah, bro.

Hey, you know what you need? He's tried building like an MTV crib. Yeah, exactly. Maybe I'll change. Maybe I'll be, uh... Contemporary. You get a golden dude, I think it'll be a little bit different. I think if you get a golden dude,

or your NFL career is probably over. Maybe I'll wait on that video. Maybe we're going to wait on that video. Yeah, the best thing I think the MLB ever did was wear fucking 77 bracelets and necklaces, all for balance. Remember when I went through that phase for a little? bit. Where you're in the mall and they try it. It was like, the 2000s and they had all the necklaces.

Yeah, they like kept your chakra or whatever all fucking balanced out. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? You're just saying yes right now. No, the copper bracelets. Like the dude in the mall who'll be like, hey, like, let me tug on your arm. They're like, get you all bouncing in this. And then you'll be like, and then you'll be like, hey, put this on.

And then you like feel it. And then next thing you know, you're wearing one back to college and you're trying to tell the boys in the way room, hey, I think I'm on or something. Hey, some kiosk guy at the mall, give me this. Like that's the main selling point. So let me tell you your mom. He rips the fuck out of your arm, puts the bracelet on. That is why conning happens because of just young minds that have no fucking clue.

They feed on us, bro. And I fall for it every time. Who's us? Dude, we're in our 30s now. You're on to risk your job for this. Disresponsibility. Yeah, as soon as rich comes on, though, I have an incentive bonus late in the contract. What you want, kid?

I don't know. I mean, maybe we need to... Shoot your shot right now. What you want? You know exactly what you want. I want a Chevy Silverado. Oh, my God. Don't grab me like.

I mean, I said it's got to be runnable and drivable. At least a day. Deal. And when you said oceans over lakes, I feel like since I was in an ocean over the weekend, I very much had a lake vibe like boating out in the water. Because it's like the lake surroundings. You know what I mean?

You know what? We always talk about who's a better listener and not like and everything. But like I told you exactly what I thought an ocean vibe was. It's the town. It's the vibe around the ocean. The ocean's like the centerpiece at the dinner table. It's not the main meal. You know what I'm saying?

But you threw me off with that because when you went on that whole show, you know what I thought of? In an Alburger. An experience. You are a very incredible storyteller. A very incredible storyteller really just pissed me off, dude. I would take the compliment anywhere else in any different context. But right now I'm about to leave. So go ahead and tell me what you're going to say.

I don't know why you don't take that as a compliment. That's a very good compliment. But no, that doesn't bother me. The butt coming after is going to hurt. there's no but. So finish the sentence, you're going to say. It's just like,

you're a very good storyteller. You're like a Jedi who gets all the weak-minded people. You know what I'm saying? Like, you can paint a story and everyone will fall for him about, yo, Taylor is a vibe,

but they don't see through the bullshit. What are a couple stories you got for the way? Didn't you throw for like over 700 yards in one game in college? I did. Sophomore year of college. It was our first, so we're FCS at this point,

the Old Dominion was. So we're playing teams like JMU, William and Mary, and schools like that. And that was like the best conference of the FCS. They were playing New Hampshire this week, and they jumped up on us 24-0 within like five minutes. Oh, shit.

Yeah, they were kicking her ass. My OC comes up to me. He's like, we're going to throw the ball every play. And I was like, okay. You know, I thought he was joking. 79 passes later. I was 55 of 79, 730 yards, six touchdowns. And we came back in one, 64 to 61.

It was on. Hey, the defense didn't stop nobody. You feel like Superman? Like, you're just like, man. They put me on Sports Center top 10 that night. And that's, you know, as a young kid, you're like, Oh, I made it. Yeah. So that was a fun weekend for sure.

But again, you know, we went through so much shit last year. Where there was off the field stuff. Like you said, Shays, you know, the unfortunate happening with him. And we had a lot of family members on the team pass away. So they're going off the funerals. We had a bunch of people on COVID. Dude, your fucking trainer. Our head athletic trainer.

We got raided by the freaking DEA week four. Every week, it was just like, like, what's going to happen next? Through all that stuff for us to have a chance. chance to go to the playoffs there in week 17 against Philly. I think it was a good accomplishment, but again, we could have won two or three more games for the year and made the playoffs. All I'm saying is if there's a table to where you let your boy down for their bachelor party, you could potentially be at that table.

I would absolutely be at the table. I would play a superhero and throw a nice bachelor party for Dylan. Yeah. But you could easily be, you know what I mean? Like with them. I could easily be in that table. I'm so there's probably like, fuck this dude. Like, yeah, he came through for Dylan, but what about last year when he let the boy down?

Yeah. And you know what I say to that? letting you down gave me an opportunity to grow. Maybe I wouldn't have taken this opportunity as serious as I did with Dylan if it wasn't for the mistake I made with you. It's like dating. Take something from your old relationship. What could I have done better there?

You go to your next relationship and you try to do better and fix those problems. And that's what I think I did. And I let you down. I'll forever be sorry. Forever. Choices have consequences, man. AJ Brown says he's the best wide receiver to play for the Titans. Okay?

Like, I'm the greatest football player of all. all time. Right? I am the best linebacker that's ever played for the Tennessee Titans, and that's facts. You can look that up. I'm the greatest reader of all time. Yeah, I'm the greatest Jurassic Park, Jurassic World Evolution 2 player of all time. I'm the best Harry Potter reviewer of all time.

I'm the greatest three beer chug drinker of all time. I'm the best water drinker of all time. I'm the best Kooli drink of all time. I'm the best relapse on Zins of all time. I'm the best Monopoly player of all time. That's not. Oh. I'm the best risk player of all time.

I'm the best Rocket League player of all time. I'm the best dad of all time. I'm the best father of all time. I'm the best tweeter of all time. Fuck. So I got these stingers. They're like, let's get an MRI on your neck. Just make sure everything's good.

And I was like, okay, well, I have to get home right now. My son's about to be born. So get an MRI, drive back to Louisville. Two days later, sitting in the delivery room. My son's born 50 minutes after I get the phone call that my career is over. Even with surgery, we've consulted with everybody. No one will ever pass you for physical again. No team.

the league will. So I had disc and bones sitting into my spinal cord. And it was at C2C3. So like, if it was lower at four or five, like Peyton Manning had neck surgery and came back and played, his was lower. It's more stable at C2C3. Any surgery up there, they'll just end your career because it's so unstable. You lose everything below in the spinal cord. Whatever, like, you injure, it damages everything down. So that's paraplegia, loss of respiratory function. That was the Orion Shazier had his deal where he was face down on the turf. And they're like, we have no idea one of those hits then put you face down the turf, but you're just lucky. Colder weather.

I mean... Oh, that's the song I was just trying to think of you. And I'm stuck in colder weather. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Can I call you then? Doon, do, do, because I'm a rambling man. And I ain't never going to change. You got a gypsy soul to blame and they were born for leaving.

born for leaving well it's a winding road when you're in the lost and found you're a lover I'm a runner and we go round and round do doong I feel like we've I was just lovely at this

I kept thinking most of the time uh Josh yes Josh take us to last year gun slinging back and forth of

homes you're losing an OT but I want you to talk about the playoffs a little bit you've played in a lot of huge games dude yeah fun games what more can you do um I want to I want to hear about your your your chief stories yeah I mean by being in that that uh that slinging match at the end of the game yeah that was obviously people still come up to me to talk about that's that's the game people talk about you know um crazy part of it is great to be on the losing end of it not so great sucks you know and that's super fun it doesn't make me feel any better when someone comes up because it was the greatest game i've ever seen it's like we we lost well we lost what makes

you feel worse losing the game or losing the coin toss oh the coin toss because i was up to that point i think i was nine and no throughout the season and uh in our production meeting it was jinxed and i was over to that game did you're production meeting yeah i don't wait wait wait stop stop wait yeah come on you can pause that. But what would they say? What was changed? They brought up that stat. You're 90 and no.

Yeah. You guys are terrible. Yeah. Who brought it up? Who brought it up? I don't. I'm not going to burn. But like,

not going to burn. Let's find out who CBS Sports, who the, who they announced with this game. Don't you have to tell us. But like, come on. What are we doing?

Nope. No. It's football. Everyone here is a little stitious. Everybody is, right? Just a little bit. Little stish. Like, come on.

You can't bring up that type of a stat so i go over i go over two on coin tosses that game and oh josh that makes it worse dude that's terrible i switched it up because you beat yourself up for it wait heads first and then i went tails at the end and it was obviously flip-flop so when you were nine and oh or is there's there heads or tails that you're sticking with throughout this nine and no i was going up to teammates and be like heads or tails whatever they say you got there's a clip NFL posted like half of the when you were like six and oh uh on coin flips they posted it uh on coin flips they posted it a And I was like I was like youth.

Yeah. I think I'm I'm like three and six in my career something like that. Not six. Yeah. Well like we do we have six captains. And so then it's like right like it's a Kyle Shanahan's assistant picks captains that day. And so like I'm not always like the guy that goes out for the coin toss. This depends.

We usually have Fred Warner do it. He's got a pretty good record. I think he's like eight and two. Really? It's not bad. He's a stud too. What makes you feel worse? Losing the game or losing the coin toss?

The coin toss. I was up to that point, I think I was 9-0 throughout the season. And in our production meeting, it was jinks. I was 0 for two that game. Did they talk about the production meeting? Yeah, I don't want. Wait, wait, wait, wait, what would they say? What was they brought up that stat?

You're 9-0. Yeah. You guys are terrible. Yeah. Who brought it up? Who brought it up? I don't do it. I'm not going to burn.

But like, let's find out who CBS Sports, who are they announced with this game? Don't you have to tell us. But like, come on. what are we doing no no it's football everyone here is a little stitious everybody is right just a little little stish like come on you can't bring up that type of a stat so i go i go up for two on coin tosses that game and oh josh that makes it worse dude that's terrible switch it up because you beat yourself up for it wait heads first and then i went tails at the end and it was obviously flip-flop so I was super pissed when they fired Coach Sharon.

You get attached to the guys, four years with him, and then Lovey comes in, and I'm like, but then I met him. And then I started, I mean, that defense was phenomenal. From what I hear, they wanted to trade me when he got there. Lovie's never confirmed this, and I've asked him about it, but he won't give me an answer or give me the answer I want to hear. But I'll never give you, he never gives you an answer. Oh, big guy, you know, we wouldn't trade you.

You're a Hall of Fame or blah, blah, blah. But allegedly, there were some trade talks. I didn't know this until afterwards because the middle lineback that defense was so insignificant. What made Luke different was he wasn't like you're like, you know, we all joke like the white guy on the scouting report. Everyone says the same things about him. He gives great effort.

Very heady. Heads everybody off. Plays hard. Second effort. Not the most talent. It's the same. Whether it's a D-N, a linebacker, a course. Every guy, that's like the running joke, right, during the scouting intro.

The thing about Luke was he was all of the. those things, but he ran 4-4. He had the tangibles. He was like he could jump out of the fucking room. He was the most physically gifted guy on the field at any given time, and he knew every play you were going to run. So he was just the ultimate combination where you had no chance against him. Did you have a teammate, like, on Miami, and you don't have to say any names, I'm just asking,

did you have a teammate on Miami to where you find out while you're playing with him in college that he had gotten paid? No. And you're just like, what the fuck? No, there was always, you know, there was always the stories of, you know, you'd get the free, you know, go to a night at the club and it magically the bill got paid. Like, you know, there was always those stories. I never had anyone, both through the recruiting process or while I was at school who was like, oh, yeah, they paid me 50 grand to come here. Never.

Yeah. So I was either oblivious or I just, no one thought they had to pay me to come through school. I know, bro. I'm so pissed. We have our scrimmage in Tiger Stadium. One of our backs catches a route in the flat, and I just ran a corner. And so I'd come back and peel a linebacker's face off.

I'm sure he doesn't see you coming. He sure didn't. Mouthpiece went flying. He almost did a somersault backflip. But then, like, the entire defense lit up. They loved it. They're like, oh, we're going to jump you. I'm like, fuck.

So I get back to the locker room and guys are like, look, walking with me, we'll make sure it's a one-on-one. No one will jump. I'm like, nah, man, fuck that. Fucked out. I'm walking to do the side entrance, but there's a good friend of mine. He started singing Kevin Gase. Uh, there's a few wrong ways and they don't make her right. New both ways. He knew all right. So, bro, I was, I can never, I'll never forget that. He started singing, because he knew what was about that, but he goes, there's a few wrong ways, and they don't

make it right. So this guy walks up to me. He's probably a little concussed, but he goes and he's like, let's go. Took my pads off. Second of my pads were off my body, put him to the side, turn back and look at him. left hook, left hook. Smoke you. Right here. Clean right here. Oh, brother.

That's good. I'm missing this. He walked up in the front. And then the guy with the lead pipe from before walked up on his left. And to his other side was a good, was a good friend of mine. And I'm like, what the fuck are we doing here, man? This is ridiculous. I remember the first time we met.

Yeah, yeah. What was it? It was just in the cafeteria? Yeah, I thought you were like autistic. Yeah, well, no, I just. Yeah. Hey, look, you're right. This is no joke.

When we're sitting in the cafeteria, and I'm new, so I'm just sitting around the boys. I think I'm sitting there listening. But Foster's sitting there. I didn't know Foster at all yet. And I felt like Foster was just like looking, either looking at me or he would just come out of nowhere with like weird one-liners. And then dudes might laugh, and he wouldn't laugh. And then he'd like look off somewhere else. And when he walked away, I was like, hey, I was like, hey, I was like, hey, Max.

I was like, is that that tight-in guy? Is he a rookie? He's like, oh, Fosser? Yeah, he's awesome, dude. I was like, is he like on the spectrum or something a little bit? And he just starts dying and laugh and he's like, no. Yeah, of course he did. Yeah. I didn't recognize Will because I knew who Will Compton was. He was a big name for me. But shit, I didn't know. I didn't know it was you. They just said it was a dude from a podcast and just joined the team. You're talking about like one of those dudes who just say like random shit and they stick with whatever they're saying.

Foster like never gives off the vibe that it's a joke. Our season ended about like December 1st. I think he left like the middle of December. And our bowl game was like January 4th or something. So he left. We had like two or three weeks to prepare for our bowl game. And dude, I had coaches on the staff calling me saying, have you heard anything? Have you heard anything?

Nobody knew anything. And I was like, coach, you think I know anything? I was the ones to be telling me like what's going on like with all this stuff right now. So we found out we all kind of went to the same house. And we had no idea what was going on. We were like, are we going to lift tomorrow? We don't have a head coach. We had like a 6 a.m. lift the next day.

We were like, is everything called off, whatever? Hey, let's just camp for that lift, boys. That happened, and nobody, he was gone. Nobody knew anything. There was no meeting. There was nothing. We were like, well, that was pretty quick. Like, where's our head codes?

Whatever. We get a team work. Team meeting tomorrow. 6.15 a.m. He comes in, talked to the team for like four or five minutes. He said to, you know, what? Yeah, yeah, we heard of us. You know, I'm proud of you guys.

I'm glad I got to coach you guys, whatever. He dipped. He was out. That's what we all got up for. And then we all went home and went back to sleep. They got people in classrooms, like normal students that, like, take attendance and know the football players and make sure that you're going to class. Really? Have you heard of that? Yeah.

Like spies do it. It's a real person in your class. Like, they're taking the class. They're taking the test. They're doing all the stuff. But they're in talks with, you know, a couple people and making sure people are going to class. We didn't have that, like, Beau would have, like, whether it's coaches or you knew who the people were. Yeah.

whether they're like academic advisors, like, waiting at your class and checking that off like that. Not like somebody who's blended in, like, you don't even know looking to your left, you're trying to cheat off them, and they're freaking getting you. You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, that was me anyway, you know. Yeah. I, uh, you know. But when OBJ goes down is one of those things to where you're like, all, hey, we can get this even more because one of their best players go down.

That's not even, like, the thought process. The thought process was we knew, like, the field felt. kind of weird, right? Like the paint, the paint, they had to keep going over it in the middle of the field. We kind of, as a team, like, offensively, we were like, hey, like, that's the spot. You got to, like, control yourself. Like, you got to be way more controlled. Don't run too full speed. Oh, for real? 100%. That's what I told the tight ends immediately. That's what the tight end coach told us immediately. That's kind of what we told some of the receivers. Like, hey, just letting you know, like, that spot of the field's a little fucking weird. Spot where OBJ tore his knee?

Just the paint in the middle of the field in general was, it was a little, it was just different. You know what I'm saying? So it was a little more slick because they put a little bit too much, not too much, but they just put a little more. paint there. Personally, I didn't think, damn, nice. This is our shop. Like, it was like, you boys, be the fuck. Be careful in that spot. Because we couldn't walk there for the team pictures because they were still going over it during team pictures the day before. So that's the only thing that was on my mind was, hey, if I'm around this area, especially with my knee, like, I got a, I got a tempo. Damn.

We're a big fan of Kay Adams over here. But there are obviously some tabloids going around. You know, the magazines of Walmart showing that, you know, you and Kay Adams were a thing. Seems like you're both very private about your dating life. So there was never any truth to be brought from it. However, were you dating K. Adams? No, no, I wasn't.

And I am relatively private about, like I like being private about my stuff, especially like honestly, especially now being in New York, it's reckless. Like, so I'm private in that regard, thankfully. But unlike, then something comes out and they're like,

oh shit, is this true? And I don't want to say anything because I'm like, dude, I'm private. I'm not trying to like say whatever. But no, like we were, we were homies. good people like you said she's for the boys she's a good person she's awesome being on like good morning football i was like oh this is dope whatever um but now we were not we were not dating

i mean a lot of the two minute drives are made up plays just FYI like so you can't game plan for Aaron and two minutes real that's unreal you just got to buckle up you just got to buckle up you do and that's like the best part about playing with them is you know that and you have that edge on someone so that's why you have to be more dialed in because you really you don't even know So that's why you just got to really tap into like what's going on. Does he have a really calm demeanor in the huddle? Like when you guys have these high pressure moments. Always.

And that's why it's so calm for us. And that's like a good thing. I mean, he has a fire in him like when shit's going good or shit's going. Like he demands and I don't want to say perfection because like the word perfection is just whatever. But he really is so fun to play with because I don't even know how to describe it. Like yeah, he's great. And it's like awesome to be like with a great quarterback is. But it's just like it's a chance.

challenge and I like a challenge and it's wild. Overall, like last season, like I truly grew so much and like I'm thankful that that happened. I truly am because if I go the whole season being healthy and all that happens and I'm up for a big contract, am I even in Green Bay? You never know. With a good quarterback, a great defense, like those are the things that like I want on a team, like in a suitable team. Like you have a one of the best, if not the best, of all time as your quarterback. And we have a bunch of people coming back on defense and then some. And then we don't have a number one receiver anymore.

Like that's what I want. That's the pressure I want to put on myself because I want to be that guy. And I grew so much and like even mentally like I'm not scared to come back. Like I'm almost and I'm not like over eager to come back. I'm just like, smiling internally because I'm like, you know, some people forgot. Oh, you talk to him about me tea. You know, making music does a lot for me as far as, you know, filling my cup up. So it's making sure all those things are all in the mix.

You still making beats like that? Yeah. I told you all making, I was making one this morning. And, hey, we need one. It's funny, bro. I may, um... We, like, don't have, we don't have one. I forget about beats all the time.

Like, I'll make them, and, like, I won't pattern them out. I won't finish them, right? Until the other day, I think it may be like a week ago. I found this beat, and it was called RIP Ms. Compton. I made it the day that I think the news hit that your mom passed. And so I was like making this beat And I ended up going back and finishing it like a few days ago And I was like, hmm like, it was just weird

I appreciate that man You're going to get me emotional right now Yeah, man That's awesome Like are there things that have happened for you That's been like I need to get out of my own fucking head And have this conversation Because a conversation delayed is like conflict multiplied

So I just need to have this thing Before it like snowballs and there's something worse You just said something right there so I appreciate that. Yeah, but I mean, it's just like the men that are like mentors in my life. It's constantly like, you have to have tough conversations. It's just like the character building that comes from that because you're not having that conversation is essentially selfish because, you know, you could be saying something that could, and bringing honesty to the table or somebody else helping them see something differently.

But instead, you don't want to have that confrontation. So you're keeping them in the dark. And then you're also letting that build up inside yourself. So it's like, I have to go through with it. And then when you go through with it, you feel. better about yourself and you can grow confidence because you're like, I'm not shying away from what's difficult. I'm actually going towards it. I do want to say though, like the whole addict thing, like, you're going on five years, bro.

You might use that as like a chip on your shoulder, but you're also like not that anymore. You know what I mean? Right. I feel like, I feel like that could be like a defense mechanism just to say that. Right. And to like create like an anchor or a foundation for people sitting around you and listening. But I feel like everything that you've been doing these last five years, like that's also not you anymore. You know what I mean?

Yeah. And I will say, now I'll say, like, this episode's going to drop on Wednesday. It's going to be August 10th, which August 11th. August 11th was the last day that I used. August 12th is my, like, clean date. So when you're listening to this on the 10th, it's Wednesday right now. On Friday, we'll be in the midst of training camp, or Darren will be in the midst of training camp. My man will be five years sober.

Let's get that to big old boys. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Like, I was his pick, right? So, dude liked me. Like, he didn't talk to me a ton outside of, like, the meeting or anything like that, but dude outside of that was cool. But then when he got into the meeting, it was like he tried to be Belichick a little bit.

Yeah. And it was like, just trying to like alpha dudes or? No, it's just like, you know, like, all right, man, you know, this is what we got to do today. The hard way is right way. And that, that's true. I mean, it really is. But on the same hand, there's like a player vibe with Campbell that like, dudes played.

And dude has, like, he understands what it is. And it's still hard way is the right way. You know, like we're going to, we're going to practice hard. We're going to do a lot of hard things. but on the same hand, he's going to take care of us in certain situations because he knows what it is. Like, I want to be at the cafeteria table to where we're having a good time talking about, like, fuck,

we got the pads on on Wednesday? Like, you already know this is going to be a grind-in-boys. Talk a little shit about it, but you know, like... Well, that's how, that's the camaraderie of it. Yeah, everyone's... Yeah, everyone's... Yeah, you want to say the things that people are thinking to make them laugh and, like, you know,

we're all going to enjoy ourselves. Like, head coach is probably going to bitch at us for X, Y, and Z. Some people start mimicking, like, how their coach is in the room, he's going to do this they're going to do that then we're all having a good time somebody looks up all right let's go fucking die of practice boys and then you like go and it's just like a camaraderie too and yeah you get used that part in camp where you know like how long the practices is how practices are so it's like 11 30 you know you're going to be done at 1 30

and you look at and go hey boys two hours we're home free two hours and that's and we're good all they do is make two more hours and god forbid you have a day off the next day oh come on now yeah come on that's the best uh but press and i played together back in the day when i was at my prime I was telling I was asking Preston, like, Jason Hatcher, legend. Shout out the boy Jason Hatcher. He would always come up to me in the huddle and say, like, remind me, what would Sean Lee do?

Like what? Because he played with Sean Lee. My question of Preston is, do you go to the linebackers now and say, hey, this is what the OG comp used to do. Like, you got to ask yourself, what would Will Compton do? Do you do that? You do that with Campbell and everybody you've played with since me? No, it's such a big standard.

It's just a big standard to, you know, compare guys to such as the legend. Will Compton, man. Am I the greatest lineback you've ever played with? Greatest white linebacker ever. play with. That's saying a lot, I feel like. I ain't played with many. Right, because they're not a lot to make it to the league. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? So now, dying breed. You already pressed the bar for the next white lineback I play with. My family has a sweet, so we were up there and the rain delay started and we're like up there drinking and stuff, you know, week before

camp, got a, you know, one last hoorah. And I saw a bunch of fans like just down there still, like rain's coming down and they're going crazy, whaling out down there in the stands. I'm like, I look at my brother-in-law, I'm like, hey, let's go ahead and get down there. Let's go join the fans. So he ran down there and all the guys up in the front row. They're like, hey, you got to go down there. You got to go down there. So I asked the two security guards down there.

I'm like, hey, can I jump down? I'll just stay in this little section. Just show the people some love. And they're like, yeah, so they help me down there. And, you know, I'm starting to chant, high-fiving people. And then I'm about to jump on my Lambo leap. And all of a sudden, I'm like, who I felt like getting pulled back. I honestly thought it was a fan.

Like, it was down there. I was like, oh, this is somebody really wants to take your picture? Yeah. Like, what's going on? And, yeah, this guy was like, get up there. You're getting arrested. I'm like, all right, that was my plan. I was about to jump up.

And, yeah, then he pushed me. I was like, ah, let me just get up out of this situation. But, I mean, the long video, like, I walked all the way over to the right, walked over to the left. Like, I was down there for a minute. And, yes, he didn't get the memo. I just feel about it after it happened. I honestly didn't even, like, think anything of it.

After that happened, we went to every other section and, like, just kept it gone. and then partied later that night. I didn't think anything of it until the next day. My buddies are texting me. I'm like hung over. And my buddies are like, you know, what happened with that cop?

I'm like, cop. I didn't even see the inside of Lambo. What the hell? The best was a couple years ago. We were playing Detroit. So they showed an all-out pressure look. And I'm watching the play clock, and it's five, four, three.

And mind you, he is talking to Tanya. He's having a conversation with Tanya. I'm thinking there's no way he's going to get this in Foll. He's telling him what to do. And as the clock is hitting zero, he gets the ball snapped. And it was probably going to be a walk-in touchdown where Bobby blocks out and then releases. I don't think he's going to get the playoff.

So I pop a time out right before the snap. And he's like, God damn it that. But I just, you know, it's just, just started ripping you thinking like, no, it's a, it's a great, it was a great, I guess, lesson for me in terms of just trust that this guy. I mean, he's so aware of everything that's going to go. that that's going on, that he'll get the job done. That's legendary. I was about to sign with the Saints, and I'm sitting in my hotel room, and I hit up

coach for, because we had talked on the phone a couple times, and, like, I was very, I was, I was hopeful, and, like, I was wanting to play for Green Bay. I was like, man, I would love to get up and play for you and play for K.O. again. And obviously, like, you know, the business is involved and everything like that, but I remember, like, given my last swing in it. And I was sitting in the hotel in New Orleans, and I was like, hey, I did my workout, and they have a contract in front of me right now. I'm sitting in my hotel room, and I have a hotel room, and I have a,

signed it. If you can get me to Green Bay right now, I will fucking get on the next plane tomorrow and I'll come to Green Bay and he's like, bro. You're just like, man, I truly, I don't know, like, I can try one more time tomorrow, but that's nothing to hang your head on. Like, you've got to, like, you've got to take this opportunity because this one is probably not going to be here.

Not because I'm not a beast. You are a beast. We probably would have won the Super Bowl that you're in Green Bay. There's no doubt. Yeah. You were the missing piece. Dog, I'm telling you. I will smoke everyone except Randall. It's the only got I give credit to. in Cornhole.

Come here. I was... I think, Dad, I think you're talking out of your ass right now, brother. I think you're talking out of your ass right now, brother. I already know where I'm at. You're from California. You have no idea what it is. And you're calling me a cornhole just being upset.

You're going to out throw us in Cornhole. I'm going to outflow you. And it's bags. Don't call it cornhole. Cornball. We did talk about that. We talked about that. I don't know why you got a disrespect me on the podcast right.

Did you say distrust? What do you call it pop? You call it pop? What do you call it pop? What do you call pizza pie? I do call soda pop You can call you a joke That's cornhole

Cornhole people say pop No No Cornhole people say pop and pie I want to pop and I'm gonna play bags And Another smart one was You guys have tables in your locker

Lockroom? Any locker you've been in like Hangout room? So like usually on there There's people put like a helmet A jersey Yes I love this one This is a great story

I am actually probably gonna do At some point this year You take a rookie's helmet And you put it on the table with a pen and say, please sign, but it's their actual, like, real helmet they use. Yeah. They got to go down to practice with, like, all the sign. Like, everyone's, like, signature all over.

I'm like, it's kind of, that's like a super meta move. That's a good move. That's who did that. Got me hit. Brett Farver to A-Rod. No way. Yeah. Smart. Legendary.

Another thing that Dave was super serious about and what was kind of rejuvenating for my career or, like, that I got to take the next step was, what was it, Thanksgiving of, 2019 Thanksgiving. So I was battling it coming out. This is what? Dick Dave. But the boy needed it. So this,

I was, again, the second year playing tight end. I was kind of battling an injury. We were saying what we, to the person to our right at the table, we had, you know, Thanksgiving at A-Rod's. The person to the right, we said what we wanted. One thing we would change about them or something that they needed to work on

the person to the left. They said what they like about them. You know, comes to me. David's to my left. So I'm like, you know, just tell David, like, hey, When you speak, I actually listen. Like, I'm just learning. I'm a sponge, yada, yada.

And Dave's turn comes in. He turns those red and he goes, you need to get better at blocking. Like in front of everyone at the dinner table, wives and everything. And I'm like, you're right. So I was working out with Caleb Presley two days ago. He wanted an account. He wanted an accountability, buddy. I was like, bro, I'm all for it.

I'm all for the accountability. But I'm chilling. You're chilling. Like, let's do this thing. And he, this is his quote. Aaron Rogers is the coolest dude I've ever been around. How do you feel about that? He's out there.

Aaron's pretty cool. He's gotten cooler over the years. Thanks, Bob. My first question. I apologize for continuing to interrupt. I've had a lot of coffee. I'm a little nervous, too. Kind of how you played most of the time.

Damn. The Red Boy was shaking in his bun. The biggest rivalry the sport has ever seen, Will Compton, Aaron Rogers. Nice post you the other day, too, by the way, a really good post. The one about me and you? I was wondering if you saw that. I appreciate that. If you ever want to hit that username and hit the follow button, that's up to you.

You don't have to say what you're going to do on here because I don't want my feelings are very early, but I appreciate that, man. Start one, bench one, cut one. Jordi, T, Donald Driver. Cutting Tay, you broke my heart. Got him? No, of course not. I can't do that.

We already got it. Look, I'm cutting. I'm cutting D-Draft. I only played with them. I played with less than the other two guys. I'm going to bench Jordy, and I'm going to start the day. Why are you benching Jordy?

Because Jordy is a farmer now, and I saw him in their day, put a little bit of weight on. And Tay still looks good and still the best receiver in the league. So I'm definitely starting to say. Bro, I'm telling you, here's what happened. The play's done.

Teams are literally walking in like this. You see one guy, you walking this one. And you see Simmons, literally, he says something. whatever turns around and takes three full steps and then no

to our sideline the day is over we're bringing it up why he turned back and then you because you fucking over the mouth dude they ask white teeth dude you see him say yelling something and jera turns around and you can see just as somebody what did you say bink and hit him but then you came back with two

you got two pieces and a biscuit real quick just real fast and then all of a sudden a lot of blue jerseys a lot of blue jersey Were you wondering where all the red jerseys were? No, I didn't care. I'm gonna hold my own now. That's one thing about me.

I know how to fight. Yeah. You know how to fight. It's 90 of us. Yeah. What's the vibe on crawfish for you? For me, right? Yeah.

I eat 15 pounds by myself. Man, I see, I'm not sold on crawfish. No. Way too much work. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You got just gonna have a bucket of yourself. Like, you're gonna have a little barbecue.

Hold on a whole. Hey, so you're gonna have a little bariki out there. What? It's just too much work for a little ass meat, dude. I'm trying to get some meat out of my, you know, if I'm working. You know what I'm saying? No, no pause. No pause, man.

I broke my ankle, tore my deltoids. I was like, damn, season's over for me. It was crazy. They pulled me straight into, like, the X-ray, and it was, like, right into the tunnel. They told me it broke the news to me right there, and they were like, like, you want to go to the locker room? I was over there standing in the hallway thinking I'm, like, in the movie or something. I was in my head, I was like, they probably won the game. I'm going to go stand in the hallway, they didn't come down.

They're going to meet some movie shit. And I was like, they're going to get me on the video. Yeah, look at Vita. He's hurt. You know, we're cheering his team from the tunnel. That's fucking awesome, dude. That's the funniest shit ever. I came out, and I was like, what happened?

It's like, they lost. What's the nickname behind? Boogie? Don't tell them that shit. I can, it's long enough. It's been long enough. Yeah. It's been long enough.

This is a fun story, actually. So, Levanté, like any young college, male. Horny. Yeah. And so we would always joke with Boogie because, you know, he'd get, he'd get himself into some situations. And Zoe would always say, hey, Boogie, you're like a, you're like a pit bull with the pink thing hanging out. And we would laugh about it. And I told Boogie, like, I'm going to name my first dog.

I'm going to get a pit bull and I'm going to name him Boogie. Which happened. A little red rocket. A little red rocket. Yeah, which happened. I got my first dog and I named him Boogie. I remember texting booking and sent him a photo like, hey, I named my first pit boogie after you. My senior in high school, the whole old line was just hung in.

There were like 340 pounds, my size. And they were just across the board. That was the funniest thing. That was the funniest thing. If you're like an all-white team, you're lining up like, fuck. Yeah, dude, like. That's dead ass, though. I mean, where I'm from, because you would go to the city and play like an all-black team.

You're like, oh, fuck. Can I tell you a funny story about it or not? F's a fucking lutely. So I go up, Peach is red. records and tapes in Orlando one time. This is just as this thing was moving really big. I hadn't even done it on stage yet. Guy's leaving the store and he looked back to the guy working.

He goes, I see you tomorrow. Get her done. He goes, yeah, get her done. And I go, what the hell? That's what I say. This is what I said, I'm getting this in copyright. Yeah. I'm getting T-shirts and copyright. So went up to the guy working here and I go,

what did you hear that get her done at? What's that get her done? He goes, oh, man, that guy on a radio station here, Larry the cable guy. Yo, that is fucking awesome. He signs off with get her done all the time. It's pretty funny. And this is when you're just radio, so they don't know who the guy is. No, because I was doing it in Tampa.

It has been syndicated into Orlando. And I go, dude, that's me. I'm Larry the Cable guy. He goes, shut. You're not Larry the Cable guy. I go, no, that get her done. That's my Gerey done. I said, Larry the Cable guy.

He goes, let me hear you say get her done. And I go, get her done. He goes, no, not even playing. Talk about you breaking that dude's arm in an arm wrestling. Are you really like that in arm wrestling? Dude, don't mess with me. So I'm at my sweet box, and I always get six guys from the guard. This kid comes up to me.

He's probably about five foot, ten, five, nine. Man, this kid's built. And he just came back from Afghanistan. He comes up and he goes, hey, Larry, hey, can I arm wrestling? He videotape it from my dad. He'd get a big kick out of it. Then I'm arm wrestling Larry, the cable guy. I'm like, yeah.

Okay, so my little boy starts it, you know? And I'm like, I'm trying. You know, I'm like, this guy's going to beat me, but at least I'm going to, like, not look like a big pussy. Yeah. So is that word okay? Can I say it? Yeah, absolutely.

You've heard me say the F word. All right. Pussy it is. So I'm arm-mus on this guy. And he's just staring at me with this look of like, dude, you're not, you know? And now I'm getting tired. And I'm going to do one. You know, he has that one loop.

That one surge. Yeah. And you just kind of surge it. So I'm just like, and I start to surge. Here's what you hear. But louder. Like, but louder. It snaps.

And he goes down. And then he turns. white. I mean, this guy was Edgar Winter. He turned so white, he was canceled. And I was dating my girlfriend at the time. Now my wife, she's from Minnesota. She's not used to like Carney lifestyle, right? And so she comes to the show in Milwaukee and we're just hanging out of the show. She's like, wow, that was really fun. And Billy Gardell was there. He was on Mike and Molly and Bert was on it. And I was on it. And Bert comes busting out of the green room in a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and button naked. And my wife's like, what the fuck is that?

What the hell is even that? And I'm like, that's burnt. That's weird. She goes, I always like this. I'm like, with him it is. Yeah. Always like that with him. He's just fucking crazy.

The first I watched Titanic with my grandma in theaters saw. Did you cry? Oh, well, no, I didn't cry. I was too young to feel the emotions of the movie. Ever since when the boobs came out, it was kind of the whole movie was a blur after that, you know? The hair. Pay me like your French girls. I was like, we're done.

It's weird to jerk off in front of your grandma. Yeah, it's tough. That was awkward, though. Those boobs came out. She's sitting right next to you. She put her hand over my eyes, and I'm like, get out of the way, dude. I was the first pair of boobs I ever saw it, and like, it changed me.

I'm going on record. Is this my camera? I'm on record. I'm on record. You don't like him. I've heard Seinfeld's a piece, though. Wow. Sidebar story?

We got a side story? He's just a horrible person. Oh, you see his interview with Larry King when the B-movie came out? Just watch that. Just watch that. Just watch that. So you're just saying from watching on the outside in, I'm being at the cellar and just seeing him and just like how he, the air about him, it's just like, oh, God, what a horrible.

You know, like when, when the room, when somebody walks in the room and it just gets cold? Yeah. Like, that's what it's like for me. I'm like, I did not a fun hang? Oh, hang. There's no hang. It just, he just floats in with arrogance and then leaves with arrogance. Indiana, W.

Rutgers, W. Purdue, let's be, I'll be realistic for you. Let's say loss. Let's a loss. Illinois, that'll be a close game, but you know, I'm riding with my fucking dogs. W. Minnesota, they were tough last year. Are they winning games this year?

All right, we'll say loss to Minnesota. Maybe that'll be my get back for like an Indiana or something like that. Who do we have after that? Michigan, like, okay, I think it's going to be a very close game. Michigan might end just out on that game. It's so hard for me to even say it. Wisconsin, again, it sounds like they're having a down year, so I'm going to go ahead and claim a victory.

And I think we're going to finish out the year and go first. five and three against Iowa, which gives us six wins. That's bowl eligibility, right? The boys are going to be bowling. Dude, get the fuck out here with fall weddings. Like, can we just not agree that nobody should be doing fucking fall weddings? Like, how stupid? It's football season.

And, like, people can act like that. It's not a huge deal. Yeah, the fall weather is gorgeous. If everybody, say you have football fans and everybody happens to be on some kind of buy week and you finagle a fall wedding. The vibes are up for a fall wedding. However, it's like, no one seen what my man Jack has to go through.

I'm going to a wedding in a couple weeks. Thankfully, we don't have to, there's nothing like going on. We had to actually turn something down for Bussing because of that wedding. It's like having a wedding on a holiday. Just don't fucking do it. Don't have weddings on a holiday.

Don't have weddings during football season. So my shout-out, no free shout-up. The weather is starting to get a little cold. This isn't going where you think is going. So our noses are starting to get a little more stuffy. They will start to get more stuffy. And this can happen outside of cold weather, but happens more frequently in cold weather.

And parents might be upset at this, but there's nothing better than picking a huge bugger out of your nose. Going up there, seeing it, and it's just a beast, and you're like, hey, that felt good. There are some nose picks that feel good, that you kind of pull out and you kind of feel sliding from your brain. Exactly. I don't want this to end.

Dude, and what a lie that we were told our whole lives. Like, stop picking your nose. Stop picking your nose. I do agree with that because we can all agree that we're secret little nose. We're sneaky nose pickers. Yeah. Like hard. You never catch anybody else.

So you think like maybe you're a little twist in the head that you love picking it so much. You're right, man. Free the booger. Free the booger, bro. Free the booger. So you guys are probably wondering why the boy, Taylor's not here co-host. He, uh, We lost him early in the game last Monday night.

Somebody shot him from up in the nosebleeds. He dropped, I think, on first or second play the game. And he just got told the information a couple days ago that his season is open. Taylor died. On the field, he died on the gridiron because everybody's making, I think there's some stuff going around, Taylor Appreciation Post. All that stuff is coming on the timeline now. I think we should just pretend that we lost him.

With that said, like, let's take a moment of silence to Erlon 1, all time left tackle for the Tennessee Titans. no longer with us. Thanks, boys. Taylor, we love your brother. Shout out to ESPN for helping us out right off the bat because they sent us that cease and desist letter telling us to change the name of her podcast,

like week one that we started doing it, because it's pardoned my take, and so it's pardoned the interruption and first take combined. I mean, you know the creative genius. Yeah, well, I didn't even know that's why we called it that, honestly, until ESPN sent us that letter. Then I looked at the logo, and our logo was just straight up.

We lifted that. that font. We just copied and paste the pardon and from the take and smashed them together. And so they told us cease and desist. And that was the best thing that could have happened to us because I wrote them my own cease and desist letter being like, you need to cease and desist sending us cease and desist letters, like step off. And then we started talking about that. Like I remember Big Cat, I think, went on the next show and it was like, fuck ESPN. They don't want you to listen to this podcast. And so it turned into a war. They fucked up by giving us all that, all that material to work with. That was.

was the best thing that could have happened to the show, honestly. So it gave us good buzz right off the bat. Is the game boy broken? It's the game broken. Then you pull it out, do that little, like, blow into it real quick, clean out everything, pause. Oh, hey, oh, easy. We're a no pause podcast, bud. No pause is here. My bad. That's my bad. That's what y'all did, right? Did you do it the right way? Let me see them. Now try it. Yeah, you know how you like bang your fucking hand on your mom? Bang it and back into the right? Let me see that thing real quick.

No, me y'all are doing it right. Holy shit. People listen to this. People listen to this. Did you guys hear something? What is it, dude? What is it, dude? Did you guys hear the ghost of Taylor-Lawanna?

Oh, don't hear your fucking dude. You've been talking to me the whole time. Dude, I, it's... So I go in to get my surgery at 11 o'clock. Meet the anesthesiologist, everyone was super nice. And I told this lady, I said, hey, my energy about beating your... anesthesiast or whatever it's called is going to be at a 10. I am going to defeat your medicine. We're going to beat the gas. She says she's undefeated. Her scapeer tactics don't fear me. We go into the

meeting room. She goes, hey, I'm about to start administering it. This is when you fight. She said, this is when you fight. So I go, okay, she goes, it might burn a little bit. And I was like, it burnt like shit too. My arm was like burning like crazy. I was like, yeah, it does her. But that's when she got me. I thought I was going to have a chance to fight it. She distracted me with the arm burning pain. and before I knew it, I was awake. Boom. But we go through probably a 15, 20-minute workout, dude, and you're a boy, I was out there. I was feeling a little juicy, bro.

I had just enough time. There was one of those things where I'm walking back and I'm trying not to breathe too heavy because, again, you could hear everything in there to where you're not trying to seem like you're out of breath, which kind of plays against you because you're trying to be quiet about breathing when I just wanted to be like, just released a lot of oxygen and kind of pant a little bit and be like, all right, I'm good to go. Overall, bro, the workout could not have went any better. of the workout, I literally remembers, like, saying to myself, like, this is the most ideal

workout situation I've ever been in in my life. And I'm pretty sure the expectations were low enough or so low because I'm sure a lot of people were thinking, like, this stuff I've been doing off the field. And I don't really say anything. They just say, hey, what kind of shape are you? And I'm like, you know, shape is subjective. We'll find out here real soon, what kind of shape I'm in. But, dude, it was awesome. And, dude, I felt like I was 26 again out there moving around. Low key. I was like, we might be talking about year 11 now. What do you clarify as Michigan in Ohio? Midwest, dude.

It's literally the middle. No, bro. Ohio and Michigan's like North East, bro. Well, someone pull up a fucking map for this kid. I swear to God, dude. The Bontare, Missouri public school system must have just been fucking you, dude, because it's literally the Midwest. It's literally the Midwest.

Ohio State is not. Ohio's not Midwest, bro. It's North something. It's North, it's North, Mid-East or some shit. It ain't the Midwest. Okay, hey, Will, we'll call it the North Mid. We'll make shit up. We'll just call it the North Mid because this is not even worth the conversation to have.

I swear to God, people would agree that Ohio is not part of the Midwest. There's a moment when he's like saving the rest of the group and being like telling different individuals, hey, you need to get out of here. You need to go do this, blah, blah, blah. And he starts riding back to camp, dude, Beaver Hall. He's riding back. And there's like sad music playing. And it's like going back and forth saying like he's like playing. things in his head, like, you're a good man, Arthur Morgan.

Arthur Morgan, like, you're going to, hey, you're not as bad as you think you are. Bro, I am legitimately tears streaming down my face, like, pouring my heart out for this man, knowing, like, my man is going to die from this TB. Give us your shout-up, no free shout out of the week. Yeah, quarter machines. So, I'm going to start with the... When you're a little kid, bro. When you're a little...

When you're a little kid... And you get, when you get a couple quarters to go to that quarter machine back in the day, I know kids kind of probably don't go through it as much now because they can just get candy at will. But when you get a couple quarters or maybe it's a quarter and you get to go spin that thing back in the day, you were living life, bro. Like you felt you had it. If somebody didn't have quarters, oh, damn, your mind didn't give you quarters. Like, that kind of sucks.

You're inferior to me now. That was me. And you would go and twist and get, whether it's a gumball, some candy, whatever it is. I'm a little chocolate thing. So I'm hoping it's more like chocolate like M&Ms or Reese's PCs. But my shot, no free shot, I go. who goes to quarter machines. Who do you think your very first crush was?

Oh, I'll tell you right now, Rose from Titanic. That was the first pair of boobs I ever saw in my life. I feel like mine was Carman Elektra. Oh, my boy. Oh, yeah, Carmen, yeah. You guys out there in the internet. Yeah, everybody liked Carmen, yeah. That was the main go-to when you were younger.

You see Panella? Yeah, that's a huge. Yeah, one video out there that you all should look at. Yeah, the porn video. Yeah. I couldn't wait to watch that. I ain't going to lie. I found out you can see that.

I was like, oh, that's the lady from TV. Yeah. I need to see them. Right. Yeah, yeah. Her, Kim, Kim Kardashian had one. We've all seen the videos, though. I mean, let's get a little better, like,

let's get some better quality cameras in there, you know what I'm saying? I hear the story about the $750,000 house and I didn't, my parents didn't move when they say we was about to go to the draft, so I don't know, man. Like, you know what card you drive in college? Alexis, GS-400. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah.

The stipends must have been pretty good in California. Right. I know $1,200 a month can get you that. That's crazy, you know. That is wild. He was living where? It was downtown. He was downtown LA living.

Nice condo. We talked about coaches. We talk about boosters. I don't really know what a booster or a coach is. I didn't have. He doesn't know what a coach is. All I know is that I had a nice house or a nice apartment. And when I went in there, like, I know that there was somebody left something behind.

I don't know if it was for me or not. But I never told anybody that they left it there and I kept it. What's the most amount of money you've seen left? somewhere that you know. Probably seem like a most amount you've seen. Maybe about a hundred fifty. We're talking. We're talking.

We're on the weekend. This is all just cash. Rubber bands. I would go Derek one. I would go you two and Eddie George three. And that, not only when I said that. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hold on.

I had to look in your eyes when I said that because it hurt me to say it to you when we just met. But that was. Right. Okay. What it is it is, why is Derek your one? Hang on, hang on, hang. Before we get in that, what's your order? One through three.

One through three? Yeah. I would go, me, dare, then Eddie. I'm saying you, Eddie, then Derek. Oh. I know that Eddie didn't miss for like the first eight years. He didn't miss games. I do like a tent too.

I think a tent on a vehicle goes a long way. Have to have a tent, right? You're in there picking your nose at a red light. You don't want people catching you. Best way to do that is with a tent. Free the booger, dude. Free the booger, man. My kids are all about freeing the fuck.

The burger dry on your finger, like as you're driving? Is that what you guys do, do too? No, I like to roll it up until the sticky wear is off and give that good old-fashioned flick. You know what I'm saying? But sometimes the thing might be a little wet. Like, you know it'll take up. Oh, it drips out. It'll take like five minutes to like get the thing into a ball.

Yeah, and you kind of question it. If it takes that long, you eventually you stop like subconsciously knowing what you're doing and consciously know what you're doing and eventually you're like, what am I doing? And you're like kind of doing it like below your legs so nobody can see you. Nobody can see. Not one bit. Yeah, dude. Fucking picking boogers, dude.

Free the booger, dude. Yeah. You saw me at your house yesterday. Yeah. You saw it sometimes like, hey, Will, are you enjoying yourself? Like, I am enjoying myself. I'm just, I'm dialed in because I was back, boys. Like, I had to, I had to throw together a live bed at halftime.

And I took the unders on the Tennessee game, the Niners game, and the Seahawks game. And they all won by one point. So I'm literally watching the end of every game. I took, the under was 28 or 20 and a half with the Titans game, which is a low, like. That's low. Yeah. They hit. It hit.

It hit barely. Niners hit. Even though they started just beating the shit out of fucking, who, were they playing the rams that one thank god hit and then uh the seahawks one hit too it all by like one point thank god could you for the love of god fix the fucking camera angle on the bus for a fat guy dude that side angle is insane it's insane how would you how would you recommend no i fuck it i mean probably this is fucking this end of the couch is sunk in dude i don't know hey you look small as fuck you're like sitting over there hey the camera angle's on the bus like

He said, hell me out, dude. Fuck, I didn't realize I was slashed like that. Now, you were right. The bus camera angle, the guest angle is... I was bummed. It was hot in there. Dark red. The angle was up from the side.

I'm like, yeah, you know, the S&L was pretty tough. Fuck, dude. I saw people after I did that episode that were like, you've been working out. You look good. You looked insane on that episode. Yeah.

And that baby's a 40-pound bronze. you with this beautiful bus displayed on top. Only the best, only the brightest, only the smartest and the most talented individuals will hold this trophy come Saturday when we are going to battle. We are going to war. Red versus blue.

Everything this world wants to see will be the ultimate battle to show who's going to be there and who's going to be there. The Buston Bowl lives. It breathes and it will be in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This fucking. weekend you went to west plains west point yeah west point that's a four or five 40 white running back line that's what it takes to run a four or five as a white guy you gotta say things like you're the west planes what was your uh what was your uh what was your 40 yeah laser i'm not

kidding it was like a five hang out how big are you i was about i was probably 290 at this camp it was a scout dot com in morgan town dude scout dot com no joke i might have run of i think it was a 58 59 and i was like under six nice and i had a well you know how it is with the fucking hand time for me a coach yeah he'd be like 5 1 yeah be like nice i run a 5 1 1 put out recruiting tapes be like jangelo 6 1 3 200 pounds 5140 1 40 and then i go to a camp like 6 2 i was like holy shit i'm not going anyway let's play sandbox what are we i don't know i'm i know what the future holds for the next a couple months. Enjoy the holidays, see, see what shakes out. You know, Connor's coming back.

Eventually, I'm on the short list for that fight, I'm sure, but I don't know. Hey, that's the fight, though, right? That is the fight. I mean, that's, I think. Chandler. I think at least, I think at this point, it's hard for me to be in Vegas. I'm not a big self promoter, but like, yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm like, we're here. We're, we're, we're, we're, we're self-promote you forever. I'm the, I'm the guy that, that people want to watch for sure. for better or worse. Oh, me and McGregor fight international fight week

of next year, July. Pre-gaming before was unreal too. We went to the lacrosse house. Shout out the boys at the lacrosse house. Their ratio of men to women was about 17 to 1. But those boys didn't give a shit about nothing. They were kegan.

They were having a great time the entire time. Their house... Disgusting, dude. I had to take a shit during that pregame. I literally went and took a shit and I thought, Should I even flush this?

It just kind of goes with like the decor of this home. You know? Amanda, they're like, Hey, we got carpet. But the boys at LaCross house. Shout out the boys.

They reached out to the bussing account and said, you guys got to come here. It's going to be popping off at 1230. We show up casually late, 1235. It was electric. I would go, uh,

Gaecchi toughest, Porier second only because, only because of the way that the fight went because Porier was, Corey was very light on the ground. I think he was actually, he was resting a little bit under there. I don't know if he was really trying to get away a lot, which is actually probably really smart because I think he was, he was conserving gas.

There's no question. There's no question. While I was just trying to hammer away, which is very smart. Shows his veteran mentality. Then it would go Oliveira after that, then Ferguson, then Hooker. But the Hooker fight didn't really count because it was so quick. It wasn't even really that much. He didn't really get to show his toughness.

And my second one is obviously going out to Du Bois, because there's literally Will and I sat at the Chinese restaurant right after the season in 2018 and decided to do a podcast and never in our wildest dreams that I think we'd ever be able to achieve this. And being able to do trips and do a podcast every week with your best friend is one of the best blessings you can have in your entire life. So that's what I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving. I love you.

I love you too, brother. It's so dope that we've been able to establish this and create this and have this as the plan B because there's a level of a fear when you're done playing because your identity is so wrapped up in it and taking shots and doing all this stuff and hiring people and learning how to try and scale and figure shit out. I know there's a lot of frustration at times with all the boys. Being surrounded by you guys, like I'm super thankful because this shit is fucking awesome. And obviously your boy gets a little choked up because I get close to tipping the cat to the old mom. Happy Thanksgiving boys.

And when you have a clean dump and you know that you don't even have to wipe But you have the confidence But you just do the check wipe Sometimes Mark doesn't even check wipe And you just know You don't want to even check wipe You know You know

When that sucker pops out And it's just like He's like man It's just it's like crying I bet there's nothing there You pull it out and that's a clean tissue That's gambling That's called gambling

Right I've done some right Sometimes you just get a little w I have before We build houses for handicapped veterans, right? For wounded veterans? And one of the guy who built a house from, he was a sergeant first class,

and he was like absolutely 100% blaze in dragons. I love that. Without a doubt. And he said, this is why. He said, when he was in Afghanistan, right, these people don't even have a word for TV. He said, when you get up into like the Candlech Valley, as to like, he's like, you're talking about literally people that have lived in caves.

They have no outside interaction, right, except from their tribe and their individual. He said, they don't know what a TV is. they don't have words for this, but they have words for dragons. Because it's somewhere along the line, someone's... I believe that. You're telling me. That is all I needed to hear. That is all I need to hear.

Yeah, I'm in. That's what I said. You told me, I was like, that's actually strong. See, that's why I like having a conversation. You gotta be like, dragons, bro. They're fire within dragons. Yeah. Now, maybe it was some sort of flying terra-data.

Giant lizard. Prehistoric. Prehistoric. You never know. Right. He absolutely, when he told me, I was like, well, that makes sense. I mean, if they have a 5,000-year-old word for dragon, who am I to say that They're wrong.

How do you feel about JFK? Was that an inside job by the government or the mafia? Let's go down this road. This is a perfect segue way to the NFL. Lamar Hunt. We're connecting JFK to the NFL. Thank God. If you read Lamar Hunt Jr.'s book, he talks about his dad.

So his dad was an avid, like, right-wing Republican pretty much, right? I hated JFK. They found a business car. The FBI, they say they obviously investigated all this. The guy who drove Lee Harvey Aldwold, Right? That's a shot. The driver of him was found with Lamar Hunt Jr.'s business card in his office.

He interviewed for a janitorial position at the hunt business. So Lamar Hunt's business car was found in this dude's deal. And it talks about how his dad had like two separate families. They didn't know about it. Like he had two separate classes. But he was a part of obviously JFCC is. That's a limited series. It comes through. JFCK's assassination.

He was investigated through the potential connection of the Hunt family, which is in the, obviously NFL honor. To, like, get in, there's actually secret handshakes. I went as far as to learn one of those secret handshakes. Oh, he would, honestly, if that got found out, if that got found out, he wouldn't be allowed in the temple. Oh, that I'm not going to tell the story. If the temple.

I didn't find out through him. I found out somebody else. Oh, okay. But, yeah, when we were in Tampa, I went up to him and I did the handshake to him. And he's like, big, smiley guy. He's like, don't ever do that again. Don't ever do that again. He was like legitimately like, don't ever do that again.

I was like, to the point where I was like, I am so sorry. I obviously found an envelope and I pushed it too much. My point to that being that there is proof that it's cultish. Hold on. I mean, you're not far off there. That's like my wife. It's like a fraternity. Or you throw up a cue dog sign if you're not a Q dog.

I get that too. Crap kicked out. My point is it's a club then because if you're going to fight somebody over a handshake into your club, religion is supposed to be all-encompass. this thing all welcoming. So you can't fight me because I learned your handshake. That's not cool. That means you're hiding some crap.

My tier three is going to go to a game that in recent years has been amazing. Like last second wins. A lot of times is who's going to play in the SEC championship. That is going to be Alabama versus Auburn. That is the Iron Bowl. That is my tier three. You don't even watch that game. My tier.

This is my time. My tier two is going to be. The newest, yet the strongest rivalry game, possibly in college football the next couple of years. And that is Nebraska, Michigan, Bustin Bowl. And my tier one goes to the greatest rivalry, not just in college sports, but all of sports in general. The game. Ohio State and Michigan. Solid.

Thank you. Good. Respectable. I think Big Cat's jumping out of a plane. No, he's not. In parachuting. And dishing the national anthem. I don't know.

No, he's not. There were whispers of that happening. Could you imagine if that didn't go well? I think he'd be going out the way he wanted to go out. You know what I mean? No question. No question. He wanted the internet to be the internet in that situation.

Is he too heavy to it? You can only be like 250 pounds. Oh, no. That's not a disrespectful thing to big cat. He wears the Spanx. He wears a full. Oh, what do you mean? I think it's a secret.

He literally did it on the yak. He showed it. He's been wearing it for two weeks. on him. He did it when we weren't there. Damn, man. Well, JP, fuck you, dude. Don't you say that's crazy. The reason why I do like I'm athlete because I can be myself.

I don't have to switch it up, change. I might not say everything the right, correct ESPN way, but everything I say got fucking facts about it. When I fucking said last week that fucking Patrick Mahomes can't read fucking defense, I meant it. When I said last week that fucking Joe Burrow is a better quarterback than Pac-Mohone, I meant it. When I said last week, when I said Andy Reid is, to me, number one or number two coordinator, as long as I've seen the game, I mean that.

I don't think Patrick Mahomes, if you have been with any other coach right now, would be having the success that he's having with them. And the reason why I say that, because all you got to do is watch. All you got to do is watch. If you play coverage and don't let him escape the pocket and make him step up in the pocket to throw the ball 90% of the time, he's not the same guy. Now, if you let him break the pocket, get on the run, he can throw that motherfucker. from Ohio to Nashville. That's tough, but what's even more tough is Will doesn't have a real tree. What?

Yeah. He said 10-footer. Yeah. I walked up to that thing and I just, nothing. That's an L. I told you. I'm glad you. That's all you had to say.

It's an L I'm willing to bear because basically I'm lazy. I think the concept, we always got a real tree growing up. We always had to go to the tree park. My dad would cut one down. We'd always bring a real one in. And so there's no. question that I'm really letting a lot of people down. Your family. Yeah, my family.

The worst part. But yeah, we have a fake tree. Like, we're a fake tree family. Like, no cleanup. I wish I had the smell of pine, but no cleanup. Like, you take that down, you have it all year round. It just sits in the closet. Like, it's an L I'm willing to take. See, my first year, I got that

whole 10 million, because they didn't expect me to get hurt when I broke my ankle. I didn't play a game. Yeah. 10 mil. I never really got hurt. So they didn't even put a clause in my contract for that first one. But that second IR, though, that check looked a lot different. You had a split?

What was that? I had a split. Probably like 50%. Yep. What school did you go to in Missouri? Central Missouri State. Central Missouri State. It's wild, man.

Warnsburg, Missouri. Hey, I bet you had a hell of a time there. That a hell of a time. Buddy, what is it like? there. Party town, right? Is it really? It's like Broadway. They got one street like Broadway is lit. Really? Warrensburg, Missouri? Yeah, you got to remember. I'm coming from California. Like, we always had white people around, but I never party with them. I went to Missouri. It was like, if you was black, you play sports. Everybody else was white. So it was just like, let me see how they do. I had never been in a drinking beer. I'm talking about Penny pitcher Wednesdays. We're drinking beer out of any pitcher Wednesdays. That Wednesdays was the most fires time because you go on there with a couple of quarters

and I get about 20 pictures put on the table drinking Natty light. You know what I'm saying? I never drank beer, nothing until I went to Missouri. The white boy wasted. And I live with five white dudes. They used to be like, bro, we never lived with a black guy before.

We never even had a black guy R&T. I was fat my whole life. So baseball had too much running. Baseball had too much running. Base over football. You got us on the line, you got to get on the high. Chewing tobacco in your mouth.

It's not a very... Whoa, whoa. To this day, when I go play a celebrity game, what happens when I hit a dinger out in the field, John? He's got to... No, you can't. He's got to run the first place. The worst he's got to do is run the best he's got to run.

I hit the wall at a celebrity event the other day. Yeah. Fucking made it the first. Hit the wall. You're in Nashville Sound Stadium. What do you think you'd run a 40-in? Oh, fuck, dude. I don't know.

Afternoon. Yeah. Like, if you're listening to this right now, pull out your fucking phone and text your mom and dad or call them. Just do that, man. Like, life, it's like the Adams Project. It's later than you think. It was the big quote in that movie. Like, life is fucking short.

Life is short, bro. And we have no clue how short it is. Love on your people. When you said, pull out your phone, I was so in my almost by reach from my pocket. I'm serious, man. Like, it's, you never fucking know. You never know. Some relationships are super easy.

And you can love on your people easy. Some relationships are hard. It's hard, like, whether it's, Your ego, whether it's stuff that somebody else done to you and you can't get over the hump, but you just don't know when the time is up for any of us, ever. You could be in a scuffle. One of us could be gone, literally, the next day. I think about that sometimes.

You just don't. You just don't fucking know, man. And it's just important that. Don't go to bed angry has always been a thing for me. And I still go to bed. I still go to bed angry. I know, I know. I know.

But I'm just saying, like, I try to put out all fires. I got especially close people before I go to bed that night. Hey, guys, it's us and the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?
