Listen, had a prosperous weekend. DeVuess. Had a great weekend on the Drag King Sportsbook with my bets. I will go over those here in a second. But this episode, let's hit an ad read.

They talk about how many returning viewers we have. And we're still like north of 50% unsubscribe. Yeah. But it's a bunch of the boys. A bunch of boys.
Starting point is 00:04:48 A lot of returning viewers coming in. Obviously, a big surplus of people came in after 45. They want to see what the boys are really talking about the next week. And now, if this is your second time ever viewing the show, that's fine. We had a first day. It was good enough for you to have another one. We walked you to the door. We gave you a kiss in the cheek.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I like to think that we're gentlemen on this podcast. Yeah. Your parents would be proud. Right. Now, if we're in the fourth, fifth, or even six time of you coming in and viewing this podcast, let us inside. You know? Let us inside.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Let's have some tea, some coffee, whatever, a little nightcap, if you will. And then let's find out how clean those sheets are. And maybe if we're willing to, the two of us can jump in and dirty those sheets up a little bit. Now, is it a regret? Probably not because this is the fourth or the sixth time. You know the kind of guys we are. This is going to be forever. This is going to be forever.
Starting point is 00:05:34 It could absolutely be forever. And if it's not, we're going to make a mistake together. And that's what's beautiful about this opportunity of us subscribing and not subscribing. It's an amazing time. Also, not so amazing. seemed like there was a sniper on the field on every NFL field this weekend. It seems like guys left and right
Starting point is 00:05:52 were getting got by the turf monster. People were getting Chris Kyle all over the place. One specifically that comes to mind, Deshawn Watson. I know. And I know we've had some fun on this podcast and I know that part of my take had a phenomenal take on the, we think Deshaun Watson is actually a better person than he is football player now,
Starting point is 00:06:11 implying how bad he is at football. But I saw a clip and I don't. don't even know if this is real and I want to believe that it's not real, but when he's getting carted off crying and the Browns fans are actually chanting, you deserved it. Is that, did you see that clip? Yeah, I know that they were. That's fake. That's fake. Is that fake? Good. I'm glad it was debunked by you, Mitch. That's big brain. We talked about in the car right home from Knoxville. Big head. People probably think you're
Starting point is 00:06:34 successful. That's a nice move right there. Yeah, because I was going to say that would be one of the more disgusting things I've ever seen. Yeah, you never want to. You never want to root for somebody to get injured. Ever. And they're getting carded off. You know that everything that's happened with Deshawn, everybody's aware of it. But to know, like, listen, you listen to James talk about it. You listen to Miles Garrett talk about it. And you just hear players that talk about how he showed up day to day and, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:00 was pouring into being a better football player. Whether or not that was working out, we obviously know he was not playing his best ball or he hasn't played his best ball since Houston. You never want to, you never want to cheer on somebody like having a bad injury. Never, never, man. And it was cool. I think it sheds a little light on the fact that James Winston's talking that way, and especially Miles Garrett talking that way,
Starting point is 00:07:18 him being as like one of the biggest players in that franchise, if not in the franchise's history, being that much of a guy because we all know that if Miles Garrett walked up to, you know, somebody in that front office was like, this guy's got to go. They probably, that holds a lot more value and a lot more weight than 99% of the leak. Right. Now, for these guys to stand 10 toes down in front of a bunch of journalists and be able to say, hey, this guy actually put in the work.
Starting point is 00:07:40 We love him. We respect him. Those types of things. He talks about the individual he is. I think that says a lot. Maybe we need to evaluate that a little bit more. I'm not going to say forgive the man or not going to do that. Because once you have that 31, 36 to 30 whatever allegations,
Starting point is 00:07:54 it's tough coming back from that, no doubt about it. But human beings are human beings. And it's always difficult to see people get hurt. I think the biggest surprise too is James not even dressed for the game. Like the moment you need a backup quarterback to go in, like he's apparently like third on the depth chart, which is surprising to me because I feel like if anybody's going to give him a spark, you give him some juice outside of Nick.
Starting point is 00:08:13 up it's going to be somebody like James Winston. Yeah. Yeah. Eat and W's. The guy, the football needs guys like James Winston. Oh, yeah. 100%.
Starting point is 00:08:24 It's so interesting. His relationship, you see it with Rabel. You see the way he bounces around. People love James Winston. You met him. I haven't had the opportunity to be in the same room as this individual. But it just sounds like this guy is truly genuinely exactly what you see on a day-to-day basis
Starting point is 00:08:40 when you pop on the bird and are able to see him doing his speeches and everything. That's really him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sources have told me. Oh. Sources have told me. Now you know how that's worked out for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I'm not going to be, yeah. I mean, I'm not, this isn't, this isn't a knock on his play, but sources have told me that Stapansky doesn't mess with him. Really? Mm-hmm. Why? I'm not sure. I'm not sure why.
Starting point is 00:09:03 It just, to me, that that would be surprising because, again, if you want some juice, like, you just know players, whether they, they laugh with them, laugh at them, whatever it is. he brings some juice to a team and he'll spin it. Like if they need some life, they need somebody who can throw the ball deep, somebody who's willing to just, who's just willing to let it rip, whether or not he's going to throw an interception or a touchdown. Like I feel like James could be somebody that, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:30 you would hope turn some things around because it is very bleak right now in Cleveland. I know, but Cleveland is probably, I mean, 30, 31 or 32 of the fan bases you wouldn't want to be a part of right now. Yeah. That's one of those one fan base that was probably shitting themselves for a little bit. The Washington commanders were shitting their pants when Jaden Daniels went down. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Now, who pops in? A rib? Yeah, yeah, he had a pretty, he had a tackle. When I'm sitting there watching him, like, oh, man, I'm surprised he didn't get a little banged up from that play. But come to find out, he was trying to run later in that drive. And he just kind of went down and you're kind of thinking, oh, fuck, like, hopefully he didn't do anything bad. Right. And ribs hurt.
Starting point is 00:10:15 We've all had a rib before. We've all had a rib out of place. We've had cartilage. I don't know. Have you ever had a broken rib? Not a broken one. Yeah. I haven't had the luxury or the pleasure of having a broken rib in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:10:26 But I have had that little, when the cartilage is out, when it's like a bruised rib. Any cough, any laugh, anything that's going. Any quick move. You hear Mitch sigh four times an episode in these podcasts. All four times, if you had a bruised rib, you're literally thinking yourself, God, I might have to end it right here. I don't know if breathing is truly worth it. this pain. So hopefully he's going to be all right. The reason why I brought up, that
Starting point is 00:10:48 injury, though, is a very familiar and beautiful face steps on the field hiding as a number 1A, but we truly know that that is number eight, Marcus Marigoda. Let's give a round of applause for the man coming in and absolutely slaying the game. True fashion, off the field
Starting point is 00:11:06 too, got his ball cap on, showing zero excitement about the poetry he just put on the field. Yeah. Just absolutely crushed it. This is the guy, ladies and gentlemen. If you, everybody all of the world is always like, oh yeah, but this person is a bad role model,
Starting point is 00:11:22 that person's a bad role model. Who are we going to look up to? Who's the person? Marcus Marriota is a guy that is truly a dude's dude and is a good human being. I know, man. He's getting gray. He looked like Obama after a second term.
Starting point is 00:11:38 You ever see that back and forth the show before? And then eight years after, he's getting the grays in their skin. still looks great though. A lot of wisdom on the head. A lot of wisdom. Seeing a lot of things. A lot of bullets been flying around that head.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Look at this. Yeah. And then, poor old shout out the boy, J.P. Finley. Finlay. Who's that? He's a reporter.
Starting point is 00:11:58 He's somebody who covers Washington. He starts off because Marcus starts off like, he doesn't hit one. I think he starts off like 0 for 3. And JP, like, has a tweet. And obviously it turns around. He has zero interceptions, two touchdowns, 200 plus yards.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Just a massive shout out to Marcus, man. Washington is a team, bro. Washington is a team. It's a ball club. Yeah. And you were saying their back end, that's the issue, or the run defense? Their defense is the problem, right? Yeah, defense is the issue.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Defense is, uh, they're, that's going to be the side of the ball that has to figure it out. They want to be true contenders in the playoffs. But man, offensively, like they are rolling, bro. They're excited out there in the district. That city has just been begging, needing a team. And they have one. And they have one, obviously with, uh, with Jaden Daniels. I know he's going to be all right.
Starting point is 00:12:43 But even Marcus coming in, knowing that there was no let up, there was no foot off the gas. They were able to execute offensively even with Marcus back there. Yeah. That's exactly what you want to see, man. God, that fires me up so much. The exact fleet, Mariotta is over three since coming in. He can't be the answer. Yeah, Mariotta is over three since coming in.
Starting point is 00:13:03 He cannot be the answer. Shout out, JP. I love JP. Now, I did text Marcus. I'm more speaking to Jack in this sense. I texted Marcus last night. congratulated him on his play and I said I think it's time
Starting point is 00:13:15 I think it's time for you to come back it is time we need him more than ever he put an exclamation point on the text did he really no but he actually put a couple of hoss he put a couple of hos in a much better situation out there in Washington he's doing a great job but Kingsbury's the guy for him right now right and then you see all the stuff like buck rising
Starting point is 00:13:35 he's been doing a really good job of just being on point with journalism lately but Traylin Berks and AJ Brown how many yards in reception Traylin has had since the AJ Brown trade and how many TDs. I think it's one TD to AJ's 20. And then also you have the Derek Kennedy situation, which was always going to happen.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Derek was with us for eight, nine years. But it's sad. You know, you see the Derek Kennerys, the AJ Browns, the Marks Marios of the world, all having fun on Sundays. We're not having fun in Nashville. We're not having fun. We're not having a good time.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Now, did you expect the bills game to go the way it did? I mean, at one point, 10 to 7, right? Boys are looking good. We're thinking, oh, my God. And 10-0, I was going to say they start off, it was 10-0. But to see that game and being a 10-0 or 10-7 whenever I saw it, I was like, this is exactly what the Titans are going to do. The Titans are going to win this game.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Yeah, they're those kind of games where we win the ones we should not. And so there was kind of that little glimmer of hope in that first half. You're like, maybe we will do it. And then the second half was the most. I think there was like 15 total yards of offense through the first, the third quarter and then like 10 minutes into the four. or maybe it was like five in 10 of the fourth, but regardless,
Starting point is 00:14:44 15 yards of total offense, brutal. And you can't plan in Buffalo no matter what time of day, primetime noon, it's going to be tough. And yet, Titan's got whooped.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Just a good old-fashioned whooping. And we look just, we just kind of look sad. It's not good. Boys look sad. Boys are having a good time. Listen, being in a locker room like that,
Starting point is 00:15:04 have you been in locker room one and five? Yeah, Washington was pretty bad. The very first year. You sit in those locker rooms where you just really can't find an answer. Because at first you started a couple losses are rolling on you. You think to yourself, okay, if we fix X, Y, and Z, you kind of see, you see the path for correction. When you're one in five and then you have 15 yards of offense in the second half and then you look around at the roster that this team has, you really think to yourself, what the fuck are we going to do?
Starting point is 00:15:34 Like what is the answer? Because talent is not the problem, or at least it seems that way with the, just look at the offense. It's incredible. And then Jamal Adams, he's asking for a trade. Guys are wanting to get out of there. You see Calvin Ridley, he's getting pissed off last week. DeAndre Hopkins is being like, we're just doing what we're told out here. These are the types of things that are just like, holy shit, man.
Starting point is 00:15:55 It is absolutely brutal. The locker room's not good. Like what week as a player on a bad team are you all like, all right, that's the year? Let's just try to not get hurt. Let me get my money and then let's get out of here. If you're like just seeing some of the like postings. post-game pressers. Like you see D'Andre talk. You see Calvin when he was speaking, even last week talking about he wants more targets early and everything like that.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Shit, I need the ball early. It's now. It's around now. Weeks like week seven. I think so, man. I think so. To me it's like another team that's not, that's not playing well that might not turn around. Who knows? But you go out to the Jets. They made a trade with Devante. Like you still have a quarterback. You still have receivers. You still have people that's optimistic that think like, okay, we're going to, something's going to turn for us. You know, we just got to make a few plays. It just does not feel that way with Tennessee. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:44 And the ears, the ears been to the ground. It just does not sound like the locker room is doing that. You know, it just doesn't seem like the culture is going to be sticking and staying together. It sounds like the locker room is more dysfunctional than ever. I had the luxury when we went the two and 14, three and 13, a binged a young buck, a rookie and then a second year guy. And at that point, bullets are still flying over and over. You're trying to make the name for yourself.
Starting point is 00:17:05 So that never crossed my mind personally. I'll be in like, let's pack it in. Let's get ready to go to Cabo. but these guys that are paid, these guys that have spent a long time in the league, understanding that, okay, I know I have less years ahead of me
Starting point is 00:17:18 than I do behind me, I got to go and win now, and if you're one in five, that's probably exactly where their minds are at. And if your ego is also telling you, you know you're not the problem. Right, which is a horrible feeling.
Starting point is 00:17:30 And it sounds like they didn't know Mason was going to be the starting quarterback until late in the week. Just based on... Yeah, we found out... They announced it Saturday during the Tennessee Alabama game. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:17:40 But I want to say, like, Hop was kind of confirming it when a reporter might have been Paul, somebody asked him, like, when did you find out that Mason was going to be the starting quarterback? So, again, it just, it doesn't feel good. It really doesn't. Yeah, that's such a tough situation to be in. And it's really like, now at this point in the season, if you're one in five, you go in the next game and you get injured, that's the only way it can get worse. Now you guys spend the whole off season rehabbing with that sour taste in your mouth. You're going to see guys with like a grade one ankle and they're not, you're not going to see. their face again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Because guys are going to check out. I mean, if you're an older player, it's kind of like maybe I can play one more year. Right. Right. Right. Right. You'll start seeing people make business decisions. And unfortunately, it's like, that's like, it's like the unfortunate nature of the beast, man. Because I'm not, I'm not trying to say it like trying to make it sound like it's, the locker room is really bad. Everybody's ready to quit. I'm just from experience. Like Taylor was saying, like being a younger cat and a guy that was never had the luxury of feeling like, you know, you have to earn it every week. Like, I'm still playing.
Starting point is 00:18:42 I'm still playing for next year. I'm playing for Beyond. You're still going to have those guys doing that. But these guys who are made men who have the skill set of thinking ahead and being like, all right, it's not going to happen for me this year. It might have the mentality of like, let me save myself for next year. Like, that is what happens. That's part of like the business of the game.
Starting point is 00:18:58 And I feel like the Titans are in that situation because clearly Will, they benched Will to go with Mason Rudolph. He had a back. Well, I saw there was like an injury report. he had a back or a groin or something going on. Yes, an injury. I don't know. And this,
Starting point is 00:19:14 a very well could have been an insurance policy being like, hey, let's just see what we got in Mason. Maybe the injury wasn't that bad. Now that's just all speculation. Shoulder. He had a shoulder going on. What you knew he was dealing with. So that kind of takes away everything I just said.
Starting point is 00:19:25 But yeah, go on. Onward. Well, I was going to ask, like, when you're Callahan, when you're Coach Callahan right now and you're thinking, fuck,
Starting point is 00:19:34 what, like, what do you have to do to keep the locker room? Like, like, how do you just, I don't know. Because I like Calaisne. I think the staff that they have, like, they have a good staff.
Starting point is 00:19:44 This isn't a staff that should be, like, on the hot seat by any means. I just feel like they missed this year, right? Yeah. Like, they haven't found their answer to quarterback. It hasn't worked out well. Your skill players are obviously seen visibly, like, checked out, which is never the spot you want to be in when you need guys like that to play. But if those guys aren't believing in who's under center, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I don't know what you do. Like, obviously, every week is like a new week, a different challenge. They have a tough schedule on the backside, don't they? Yeah, we still have Houston, Jacksonville. Like, we still have, we've only played one division. I want to say somebody's like, maybe you get one against the Patriots and then split with Jacksonville.
Starting point is 00:20:24 But other than that, you're playing like a bunch of one lost teams. Like, you just know the player in you, you look at all that stuff too. Like, I don't know. I don't know. Right. Because in years past, when things were not going well, there was always the ability to be like, okay, quarterback's not playing well. what we need to do is rely on the run game,
Starting point is 00:20:40 rely on Derek Henry, a guy that we're going to give the ball 20, 30 times a game and allow him to just bruise people up and then we'll find the passes where we can. I don't know what the answer is because there's so much talent on that team. Across the board on the offense, you have one of the probably more talented teams
Starting point is 00:20:59 in all of the NFL. The issue is you see the frustration with Ridley, you see the frustration with the Hopkins. You know that frustration, a lot of ways is directed at the quarterback not only in the locker room but also in the public eye. It's just, it's such a hard position to be in because those guys are
Starting point is 00:21:16 these season vets with a lot of accolades that everyone knows is in that top, top tier of the NFL. And if those guys are kind of having that response publicly, you can only imagine what it's going to be like in the locker room, which is, it's difficult to keep a locker room together when these kind of quotes are being brought out.
Starting point is 00:21:34 And that's just, that's just hard, man. And one thing, You need somebody to write the ship. You need somebody to keep guys together. I don't know who that guy is in that locker room right now. It's like blocking out all the noise. Like one thing that Vrabel always did a very good job of is even when you are feeling all this stuff
Starting point is 00:21:51 and you're kind of feeling a little like, you know, what's going to happen here? Vreble was always somebody who painted the way you're going to win the game. Here's how we're going to have to win. Like we're not good enough to just show up, do this. We're going to have to execute at these three things on both sides of the ball and paint that picture. and obviously push all the confidence into whoever's going to be under center,
Starting point is 00:22:10 whether it's Will, whether it's Mason. And then you need a win on first down. You need a win, like get those wins early to have some momentum. And then from there, you're just, you're truly taking it one game at a time. Yeah. But, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Unless you're, you know, like Jack, fans and everybody else, people are going to be looking to the draft and all that.
Starting point is 00:22:32 But when you're in the locker room and you're inside of those four walls, like there's, I don't think anybody. is going to be thinking about the drafts. How you scraping together wins, how you scrape it together momentum to kind of turn it around because, again, at the end of day, you're one in five, like you're not out of it, right? Like, you've got to win out, you've got to do all those things. That seems like it's the farthest thing apart from all of it. It's truly just going one day at a time and doing your best to keep everybody together.
Starting point is 00:22:56 And again, without any pulse being inside of there, I just don't know where everybody is. That's just my sense on observing all the post-game pressers, all the all the conversations, around the Titans right now. Yeah, I don't think as a player and well, you can comment on this too, I don't remember ever looking and being like can't wait for the draft. Yeah, never.
Starting point is 00:23:15 There was never thinking about that. You're still, you're one in five right now. You're not even at the halfway point of the season. And so there is so much ball in front of you where it truly, if it does become a self-preservation game, now it's like a lot of guys you start playing for the name on the back of the jersey and say the front of the jersey.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And it's just like, let me just show out and let's say I have one more year in my concert let's say I want to get out of here after this season and have that conversation well let's go put good film a film on there that's the kind of way you got to spin it in your head as a player if you're one of those guys that are your eight nine 10 11 12 and you know that most of the ball is behind you as opposed to in front of you you you really just want to show that you still got it and that when people put the film on these other 31 teams with the film on they're like well we know that this person's not the issue because to look at the draft like I mean, dude, aside from like A.J. Brown,
Starting point is 00:24:11 Amani Hooker, Jeffrey Simmons. Like, there's a handful of guys. Like, I never sat there and was like, oh, this rookie is going to be the answer to our questions. A lot of now you look at the Rams, what they did in the past when they won a Super Bowl, when they were just like getting rid of all their draft currency and going to get guys that they've shown they can play in the league. That's when you can get a little more excited. But the unfortunate thing here with the Titans is they went. and got guys that have shown they can play in this league.
Starting point is 00:24:37 They have a bunch of players that showed they can play in this league. They had, I believe, I saw something that said that the number one pass defense in all of the NFL. I mean, their defense is solid. Defense is solid. Like, you've got a good ball club as far as talent on the roster. And we don't, Will and I don't have the luxury of being in Callahan's meetings and seeing what he's talking about.
Starting point is 00:24:56 But I would, I think it would be a very disappointing look if we started saying, hey, BC should be on the chopping block six games into his head coaching tenure here at the Tennessee Titans. That'd be ridiculous. Now, we get into next year and we're having the same results. Unfortunately, that's just the way this game goes.
Starting point is 00:25:15 We like him, we like Rand, but by no means, we'll be like ringing the bell until they get a new head coach. And to think, like, you know, a top five pick is going to fix all our problems next year is a pretty wild accusation to make. Especially at quarterback, Jane Daniels,
Starting point is 00:25:31 he's having a, hell of a rookie season. However, he, it's, that's a very rare thing to see out of rookies. So it's a, it's a mess here. There's a, we need to broom. There's like a week. There's like a week until the trade deadline too. Do you like, how heavy do you think about that? I never thought of my, I'm not like as a player personally, but like front office like do you, you know, are you like, do we kind of use the talent we have to maybe go get something or are you just kind of like, we're sticking this one out and kind of again i don't think i don't know we also don't have but again if say say you're sitting say you're say you're saying you're sitting in like the coaching staff or the front office
Starting point is 00:26:10 like again you have talent like again it is this could be so much of an overreaction that hey will or mason could get this thing going you want guys who are going to buy in for this last part of the season you might think of shopping these guys who are disgruntled unhappy seemed a little checked out even though they're talented it's like if you're going to put anything together maybe you look at, you know, seeing what phone calls are out there to shop somebody like a hop. I don't know if you shop like a Calvin. Again, it's just, it all depends on what their feel is. You just gave hop $95 million.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah. No. Yeah. He comes with a lot of different issues as well. I don't know, man. Like I said, like the names that are on your roster are not the problem. The talent that's on your roster is not the issue. I don't know what the problem is.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Now, getting 11 guys to play as a team. But if you have a good game plan and the talent is not buying into what the game plan is, that is a problem. Right. You could say, like, you play for the name on your back. Like, ultimately, if I'm somebody and I play for the name on my back, no matter what, however you see it, if you're going to accept whatever accountability is out there and be optimistic of how your play is going to be, you've got to buy into what the game plan is being painted
Starting point is 00:27:16 for you. And you've got to live into the game plan. You got to do all the preparation possible. And no matter what, even if you feel like you're playing for the name on your back, you still have to sacrifice and play for everybody else because you're not going to be successful unless you're trying to play for the guy next. to you. Right. You know what I mean? So I think it truly just depends. I just, I don't know. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know what's, I don't know the vibes. I can understand
Starting point is 00:27:39 it a little bit just based on observing. It just doesn't seem like it's good. It's great vibes right now. It doesn't. It's bad vibes. Yeah, it's bad vibes out there. Everybody's got a talent. Everybody has talent on their roster. So about who can galvanize, who can keep everybody block out the noise focus on, hey, here's where your accountability is. Here's where everybody's accountability is. If we understand that, realize we are, guys, the problem is in this building, but we also have the answer in this building. And if we don't feel like we have the answer in this building, that's where you start to see if you can get creative and see if you can work something before the trade deadline to have a little bit of life to go into this back half of the season.
Starting point is 00:28:15 You know what's probably happening right now that's always very difficult to view as a player during the season, player-led meetings. Yeah, but you'd almost like to see something come out that there was a player, that there was a player meeting. You like to. Huh? But it's who is it that stepping up and saying. Yeah, you almost have to be big Jeff. Somebody from that defensive side.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Yeah, and I just, that's tough. I mean. We interrupt this episode to bring you body armor sport water, the alkaline water that provides real hydration with electrolytes for taste. Everybody is always drinking in and around the shop. The sports drink, the zero sugar, and even the flash IV after a long weekend.
Starting point is 00:28:54 We can't get enough of body armor. the sport water, in my opinion, is the best water on the market. It keeps us hydrated all weekend long when we're on the fall tour. So head on over to your local 7-11 and get your body armor sport water today. Back to the episode with Adam Ray. You know who would hold the meeting? Who? Russell Wilson.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Hey, he played well. He played well. Started shaky. Started shaky, but I mean, what do you expect from a guy who had, you know, who's essentially taken a year off from football? Like, and especially going into that situation, the expectation and the pressure is at its highest because you bench somebody like Justin Fields who was four and two. So a lot of that moment last night was riding on how Russell was going to do. Like, did he look clean and look great and the future is going to be bright for Pittsburgh?
Starting point is 00:29:45 Like, no, you can't say that. But also, I don't think you can expect him not to look a little rusty coming out there. But I do think moving the ball the way that defense plays, man, obviously you can lean on that defense and win. It's like that one. like one of the highest. He has special teams, that massive field goal block. Yeah, guys just being excited. Like it is one of the highest paid defenses in the league.
Starting point is 00:30:05 They do play like it. Like Russell could. He's somebody who, when you're watching and play that game, he takes deep shots. He gives receivers the opportunity to make plays. Pickin seems like he's like in it now because he knows he's getting the ball his way. Wild personality, that picket. Wild personality.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Seeing him and Sauce Gardner go at it was so much fun to watch because both elite guys within their craft. And it does seem like Russ is somebody who can get in there who's going to take deep shots, who's not, who is willing to throw the ball around, but you can't expect him to look completely clean going into that first game based on him taking a year off
Starting point is 00:30:38 and also knowing the pressure was at its absolute highest on him going into that game. Yeah. And being a Steelers fan, like we obviously talked about the not having fun as a Titans fan, Steelers, man, they have all, Mike Tomlin is the king of culture. He's the king of sustaining and, keeping culture alive in a building.
Starting point is 00:30:56 And having a guy like Russ, who, if you're a Steelers fan right now listening to this podcast, you know that's not the long-term answer for your team. But for them to put him in there and have the success they did on all three phases, that's the kind of shit that makes Mike Tomlin who he is. Right. Because it was a risk. Like, if he doesn't play well and they lose that game, like everybody's calling for Justin Fields to get back.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Like, you're just in a tough spot. You're 15, 15, and then all of a sudden that they crushed the second half. Yeah. Like, that's the kind of... The fans were kind of like, did he make the wrong decision? Mm-hmm. There were a couple plays where... You heard some booze.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Yeah, you heard some booze. Yeah, to where Justin would probably get you out of that situation because they both kind of do some similar things, but Justin's better at running. Yeah. Yeah. But then it sounded like they just quickly were like, all right, let Russ cook. Let Russ cook. Bring back the Subway sandwich.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Arthur Smith, man. I think with their culture, too, when they asked Justin Fields during the week, he's like, if I played good enough, I would be starting. I haven't played good enough. I love the way Justin Fields handled that interview. Because he's been on, I want to say when he was on the Bears, he said something that seemed like he was kind of passing blame, but immediately he was trying to say like he wasn't trying to do that.
Starting point is 00:32:06 And it does. It's not from what I've heard to Justin Fields is one of those. He's got a very sturdy mentality. He's somebody who's all in. He's for the boys. And to your point, JP, like the way he was like, look, if I was a clear-cut starter, I would be the, guy but I don't feel like I've played well enough to be that guy like he I love the way he handled
Starting point is 00:32:25 that interview and those are the guys you need and you hope his head doesn't go into the tank mentally just because a bro it's a long season we're going to need you again at some point and you never know how it's going to shake Russ could have an off game Russ could get hurt like anything can happen to where if it does shake your way you're honestly in a little bit of a win win situation because you are proven to be four and two you're taking all the accountability your way like look I didn't play well enough. And all you got to do now is just be as good of a glue lockroom guy as you can be because if it does shake and it comes back your way, it's ultimately going to work out for you in the end. And you do have film out there of you being a four and two quarterback and
Starting point is 00:33:02 kind of leading the Steelers before Russ came in. Dude, that is a great point when you were put on the bench to become a glue guy to sit in the locker room and just be as positive vibes as you can you can because the relationships that you're continuing to build because when your name is eventually called again, people are going to want your success. and they're going to be rooting for you in your own team. Right. But if you become one of those guys that are bitching and complaining, like, hey, I would have made that throw instead of Russ.
Starting point is 00:33:25 I ought to have been able to get us that situation. And again, in his, like in his shoes, those things could be justified if he was kind of being that guy, like bitter and upset about the move and everything else. Like, he could easily take that easy way out. But you're right. Like, if when the moment does come from, to go back in, people are going to remember how you handled yourself.
Starting point is 00:33:45 You're obviously remembering how you handled yourself. You're prepared for this next operation. And you're not like, I don't know, I love it. I love everything Justin was about last week. It's the full, whatever happens in your life is your fault. Yes. If you're successful, it's your fault. If you do bad, it's your fault.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Yes. He seems like he has the right answer to it. Yeah. That's fucking. Somebody, another team would want to maybe go get in the trade. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, you know, you guys who are hurting a quarterback who might need a spark that could be like a place. I don't think the Steelers are walking away from them, though.
Starting point is 00:34:16 No. They're not, they're not, I don't know that they're trading them. you'd have to give a lot. You probably would. And yeah, I just don't see. But my thought is if he was going to go into free agency next year or something like that, like there's going to be plenty of teams calling to get a guy like that,
Starting point is 00:34:29 especially when you're able to see those kinds of press conferences. I love the quote of like it's your fault, whether successful or are you a failure. Like that is, that's awesome. And to like, it's valuable to have a quality backup quarterback. Like that ain't,
Starting point is 00:34:44 you're not just because you have a backup quarterback who can play. It's not like you're not immediately looking to deal. him like it's it's positive it's a good thing to have a guy like that on your roster marcus marcus mariaota but i i i love the way he handled all of last week truly a beast because again like i can think back on a situation where i was very bitter that i didn't get the opportunity to play at one point in my career in washington i want to say it might have been like my last it was like in my last year before i came to tennessee and i was mad and upset like they the starter i was the backup middle linebacker. The starter went out and got a shoulder surgery. I thought I was going to
Starting point is 00:35:21 be the guy the next week going in and they split our reps. And my reps was on base. His reps were on nickel. And in this league now, you play more being a nickel linebacker than you do in base. Like your plays are few and far in between. And we had Dallas coming in. And I was legitimately pissed off and very bitter and just being a bitch about the entire thing for a moment. And you sit there and you realize like no matter what I have to be ready for every snap that I get on base, whether it's two snaps, whether it's eight snaps, whether it's 10 snaps. Because no matter what, when I go out there, if I don't play well, I'm just proving them right. I'm proving everybody else right in the entire situation. But if I just stick to whatever my role is, play well, like at least I know I poured
Starting point is 00:36:04 everything into it. And I know I'm not just taking the easy way out of just bitching and complaining. Because again, you go out and you play poorly. And I'm just, you know, if my mentality's like yeah well I didn't get the opportunity I didn't get a shot well no matter what you had some snaps to go out there and play like did you play well or not if you didn't and you're bitching about it you're just proving everybody else that like hey we made the right call like your mentality and everything else isn't built to handle something like that so it is that's why i love the way justin has handled all that stuff because again the team's gonna need them at some point this season yeah that's that's a common theme in every level of sports is high school
Starting point is 00:36:37 college or NFL you always find the guys that want a bitch you complain that are not playing And then nine times out of 10 when they get that opportunity, they go in and they shit the bed. Even as a guy that would listen to them, bitch and complain, you think to yourself, well, there's your answer right there.
Starting point is 00:36:53 But then they want to come back and give you the same fucking reason why the shit didn't work out for them. Right. Which is fucking why. It's like if I'm bitching to you and you're thinking, yeah, you should be the guy out there. I would 100% think that.
Starting point is 00:37:03 And you see me go out there and play poorly. It's like, hey, man, like even the ops you are getting you're not taking advantage of them. Yeah, but like, and taking a step further, those guys that bitch and complain
Starting point is 00:37:11 about not playing. Once they do go play and they don't have the success, their first reaction is to go and bitch and complain to the people. Still point the finger that the opportunity was. If he would have had X, Y, and Z, I would have made that play.
Starting point is 00:37:23 It's like, obviously, you were your own problem. Yeah. You are your issue. It's the loser fucking mentality. Dwelling in excuses over what J.B. saying everything's your fault, accountability and having optimism, whatever your role is,
Starting point is 00:37:34 you want to do it to the best of your ability. What's funny is listening to, you talk about your, you know, those first few years at Washington and being like everything's your opportunity. I'd make the most out of it. And then thinking back to 2020 when we played the Broncos,
Starting point is 00:37:48 you're going to Rishan and be like, please, for the love of God, play every snap. I am not ready to play this game. Yeah, I just come in 10 days before. Yeah, hey, motherfucker, you guys better not check out this game. First, yeah, first series where Sean throws a punch. I remember literally seeing Will like,
Starting point is 00:38:05 I don't know, what was it, like the second or third quarter and you're just like, you looked like a dead man. Just gassed, bro. Out of your mind. Because it's hard, dude. Yeah, playing out in Denver, the COVID, the first COVID one, there's no juice there. Oh, literally. I was in hell.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Dude. And taking any break from football is the worst. I mean, guys who are able to, you know, essentially manipulate the system like you did so well is where you like kind of take camp off for a little bit and then go. Yeah. That is a true art form. Because literally my wife and I last night were actually talking when I was text with Marcus. And she's like, what if you and Marcus just went back?
Starting point is 00:38:41 She's like, how long, how long do you think you could get like ready to go? I was like, dude, first off, let's take the knee out of it. Just, I literally think to myself, three, four months of me, like, I can get my technique back or I'd feel pretty good about it. And then I really thought about more. I was like, there's not a fucking chance in hell. I could go back to that and be nearly successful or probably even play. Probably, I probably would not make the team right now. Because once you get even a little bit removed and you get that callous of the of camp and everything, you kind of like you just you can just feel it a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:39:16 But man, any sort of break, any sort of time. That's what I think is impressive. You were able to do that. I appreciate that. We are still for year 10. There are a lot of people out there. A lot of people are clamoring, huh? I keep trying to tell you all my guys.
Starting point is 00:39:29 I appreciate it. It's done. I want to say Kurt, uh, Bankert posted a video. You would make this tackle drunk. Making this tackle hungover. Old buddy, was it Josh Allen? In Jacksonville. It was bad.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Just a brutal angle. No, he looked about like how I would look if I was out there. I would just go the extra step and probably tear an ACL. But it was, did you see it? No, I didn't. Oh, bro, it was a bad angle by this. I think it was Josh Allen. 41, right?
Starting point is 00:40:00 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like a kicker taking angle on. Bro, it was brutal. Josh Allen, the D.N. for Jacksonville? Yeah. running out to making a sideline tackle and just kind of breaks down and like is slowly turning
Starting point is 00:40:12 as the guy makes a cut inside it. He could have at least like left his feet to like it. Yeah, at least stop and like dive and dive off the diving board. Yeah. And it's literally like turning with the angle. What world are you living in? If people who are watching who truly think your 10 might still actually be alive, how many snaps do you think you could actually play right now?
Starting point is 00:40:33 One. For real. Yeah. Are you saying like if I were to. play this weekend. No, this weekend. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's not happening.
Starting point is 00:40:42 If you had three months to train, legit, hey, Will, we need you. Oh, if I had three months to train, I could play special teams all game. All game. All game. Think about it. Think about the kickoff rule now.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yeah, that's way, yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Covering a kick. Every single time. Getting in somebody's way on a block. And then pump protection is just protecting and then get out and cover. Like I'm probably sprinting four to eight times that game.
Starting point is 00:41:04 If I have three, four months of training, yeah. I'm special teams all game What about defense? No defense that's a different animal And not even from the body standpoint Of just like fully diving in Like having the mentality of preparing all week long Every little detail like I just
Starting point is 00:41:20 I wouldn't have it Just being the neck up guy you truly are Yeah yeah I'd be out there guessing You think you're breaking down What Jamir Gibbs coming at you? No no that's the thing like my feet The way my feet will feel after I run My ankles and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:41:35 like you were talking about the callusing you get like in training camp and everything else like I mean I would be on a I would saw that run though right if I played defense I would truly be hurt within the first quarter dog even even the small like the small things that happen like when you start camp you have these loose jerseys on and after one practice the rubbing on your neck and for like the next four or five days just your neck being sore from wearing a helmet yeah your neck is literally sore from wearing a helmet you have like a rash on your neck for like a week and that takes a week to get over. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Like just the thought of that pain. It sounds so fucking miserable. I'd be on every offensive line and tie life film. If I, I can't, I truly can't even imagine playing defense anymore. Can't even imagine. I mean,
Starting point is 00:42:21 you see these guys hit now, even at college games. And I've gotten to the points where I'm like, I can't even believe I was out there doing that because it hurt, it hurts my body. In December, when we were at the, uh,
Starting point is 00:42:32 the bar stool bowl game, what was it? It was Wyoming. Wyoming versus Toledo. Yeah. And I'm watching the Wyoming Offensive of Lyman to warm up. And I'm thinking to myself,
Starting point is 00:42:42 that shit's got to hurt so bad. Just getting your hands put on you. Just fucking. Did you hear that? Like my fucking, I'm brittle, dude. There's not a chance in hell. JPE,
Starting point is 00:42:53 I feel like I've cut you off six times. Go ahead. One month ago, Will literally tweeted, OMG, it's so hot outside. Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Hey, but it's October now. Yeah. playing some favorable weather. Yeah, you're good. It's true. That is the weather is different, man. But yeah, bro, as hot as it was, I feel so bad for guys that are in training camp. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:43:18 OMG. OMG. It's so hot outside right now. And it used to be nothing, man. Used to be nothing. Just, I'm in the AC. On his couch. Just staring at that foam.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Let's, man, let's rip the band it off. Yeah. What is this? Oh, that was me on the honeymoon, right? Yeah, I'm in my honeymoon. Yeah. What are we doing there? Just showing how my tan's getting rolling.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Yeah. Anything they show them cheeks off, huh? Yeah, I mean, you see that bubble back there. You see that bubble back there. Oh, they work. And that is a wild photo. Yeah, bro. That was, you know.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Look at that eye contact. You're making with the media. Jay JP and I were driving down to Atlanta That's when year 10 was still alive Did I take that photo? Did I take that photo? Man

Starting point is 00:45:29 Game time. Let's get back to this episode. Look, one thing I'm not going to do, and I was talking to, actually, I was talking to Shirm about this last week. It is so fucking easy to hit the panic button and call for people's heads because that is what I feel like some Husker fans are doing. They're so insanely pissed off. And here's the, here's the empathy, the only empathy I kind of have with them because it's the last two decades, the last 20 years, when there's a moment to where we have a chance to get over the hump, whether we're a ranked team, whether we're, have a winning season going on, whether we're losing and have an opportunity like Nebraska did, we do have this style about us to where we have an embarrassing loss. So I do empathize with that part.
Starting point is 00:46:12 But as far as compartmentalizing and speaking on just this season and just this game, yes, you do not want to lose 56 to 7. But I swear to God and I'm going to start grinning, but I believe it to my core. this 56 to 7 score is way worse than what the film shows. We did not play well. We did not make any. We did not make the plays we needed to make. But we went on long drives. We went on 3 10 plus drives where we only came away total with seven points.
Starting point is 00:46:45 The run defense, it was disappointing to watch because they are a defense who holds themselves to a very high standard. And they usually, for the most part, play well. But their gap integrity was off. they were the Indiana and by the way shout out the Indiana football team they played better than that
Starting point is 00:47:02 the great ball club yeah they were Signetti has those boys rolling they whooped our fucking ass but if I'm just talking about the Huskers if I'm just talking about Husker football that ass whoopin I swear to God
Starting point is 00:47:14 is not as bad as how the score looks we just didn't finish drives Dylan had a couple picks that sucked but we have a quarterback we can listen we can run the football we can do all the different things Oh, we got Bert here. Hang on, Bert.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Hold on, Bert. Yeah, no, I'm with you. I'm with you. Let's knock it. Let's knock this out. Yeah. I have optimism. I said it about the Titans.
Starting point is 00:47:45 The problem is in that building. We also have the answer in that building. We have the players. We have the coaching staff. We have the guys to get this thing right, get this thing going. It sucks that we played as bad as we did. But I'm telling you, I'm telling you. We were driving the ball.
Starting point is 00:48:00 We didn't get off the field when we needed to. you know, when they go up, I want to say 7-0 or maybe 14-0, we have a solid drive. It ends. We're going forward on fourth down. We would have got the conversion. We fumbled the ball and give it back to them. Coming out of the third quarter, we put together a 14-15 play drive. Dylan ends up throwing it right behind the tight end. Safety makes an incredible play coming across the field and ends up picking it off,
Starting point is 00:48:26 almost takes it back for a pick six. So we just put ourselves in bad situations. Then the next time we come out, we have a nice. other interception where we don't pick up protection. Dylan tries to admit he wants to try and make a play, ends up throwing it to the other team. You just have a bad play, but I'm telling you we were putting drives together.
Starting point is 00:48:41 We did a very poor job blocking on the perimeter where plays are there. Calls were made where we are in position to make the play. We just don't make the play. So it's cleaning up how we're blocking on the perimeter. It's being gaps down in the run defense. We knew we'd have a problem with Indiana. They're a very good offense. They can move the football.
Starting point is 00:48:58 We did have sticky coverage and the quarterbacks, both quarterbacks were just making plays and the receivers were making plays. That just what, sometimes that, that is the way the game goes. We had a very bad game. We did not show up ready to play.
Starting point is 00:49:11 I know rules talked about. He's taking all the accountability in the world. He's, he's embarrassed. He hates it. But I'm telling you, this isn't, we are not dead.
Starting point is 00:49:19 We're not dead. Fucking put the cheese out, set the traps. We can go into Ohio State. We can win this game. We can win. Like, I say that because I know
Starting point is 00:49:28 everybody else is going to laugh at it, but I, I swear to God. I swear to God, that score was not, we are not on life support. We are not on life support. No one's laughing at that. I know, but everybody like, you know, I do the thing where I come out. I'm like, we're going to beat their ass.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Take your bread and pork coin and shove it up your ass because the Oscars are coming. Everybody's coming after me. I got players DM in me. I got fans from Indiana DM in me. I got Buck Rising texting me. I know how this shit looks because I'm the most optimistic Huskers fan. But I swear I only got to watch one quarter because we were out our meet and greet out at Tennessee. We didn't get to watch the last three quarters of the Husser game.
Starting point is 00:50:03 I watched it yesterday on Sunday. I watched the entire game. I'm stopping. I'm rewining. I'm going to it. I'm looking at the gaps down. I'm looking at the play calls we have going on. We're driving on offense.
Starting point is 00:50:11 We just made, we didn't execute when we needed to execute. And I swear the way the game went, that game wouldn't have been as bad as it was. But you listen to rule, Dylan wanted to keep going out there. They wanted to still fire. They wanted to still throw the ball. They wanted to still try and make it comeback. And it just didn't work out that way. It didn't work out that way.
Starting point is 00:50:28 You get towards the end of the game, you start pressing. little too hard things just don't go your way. That stuff happens. People are saying that we laid down, we quit. That didn't fucking happen. That did not fucking happen. No, no, no. No one, the people that are saying that are delusional Husker fans. If Husker fans are over there calling for rules head and calling for the other personnel to get the fuck out of there, they are the wrong Husker fans right now to be in that seat. They are. Now, everybody has bad games. Nebraska Cornhusers is a good fucking
Starting point is 00:50:51 ball club. All right? Now, Indiana is a lot better than we all expected. We knew going into that game that Indiana was awesome. They have a whole bunch of transfers that came from SEC schools, ACC schools, the conference formerly known as the PAC 12 schools. They have had a lot of guys in Spagnetti. Is that his name? Signetti. Signetti has done an amazing job in the transfer portal, not looking at names, but looking at productivity. He has done an awesome job of turning that program around.
Starting point is 00:51:17 The Cornhuskers had a bad day. It is. It is what it is. But if you are a Huskers fan and you are now waving the white flag halfway through the season, well, then the shame should be on you because that's a good ball club. over there in Lincoln, Nebraska, and they got an opportunity against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State had a devastating loss in Eugene Oregon a week ago, have a whole bi-week to live
Starting point is 00:51:39 and feel that whole time. Two things can happen out of that. You can now go and think, okay, we're going to, you know, go scorched earth on everybody, or doubt starts to creep in a little bit. Now the 12, 13 million dollars, you spent an NIL, that money's feeling a whole lot better than the actual culture. I'm saying it's a coin flip 50-50 between Nebraska cornhusers and Ohio State Buckeyes this coming weekend.
Starting point is 00:52:00 And if you are one of those Husker fans, fuck you. Fuck you. I told, what did I tell you last week? The way you were talking about Baylor, I'm like, no, bro, you don't get it. It is so goddamn easy to lose your shit, start pointing the finger doing everything else.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Other than being, hey, we're in the fucking trenches right now. We're low right now. But there's no time to bleed because we're going to Ohio State and we got to muster something together. The problem is here, the answer is in here. I swear to God. Right. And fuck those Husker fans, dude.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Not not all them. Not the whole usher fans. You guys know I don't feel that way. You guys know what I'm talking about. Also, could you please clip Will saying, fuck you Husker fans just from my own personal socials? Thank you. Now, Michigan,
Starting point is 00:52:40 we got a lot of problems, boys. We got some issues going on here. We ain't in this situation. Okay. We get so much. Go ahead. We got a quarterback. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Listen, here's the issue. The self-inflicted wounds of the Wolverines is as apparent as ever. Tuttle gave us a little bit of life in the Washington game, but ended up having a bunch of turnovers and those types of things. Same thing happened against Illinois, which, by the way, those fucking Illinois uniforms might be the most disgusting things of all time. I see they're doing the tip of the cap.
Starting point is 00:53:13 It's been 100 years of the line, I, the leather helmet, all that stuff. The uniforms looked horrible. But our defense is solid. Three or four times Illinois offense gets into the red zone and come away with three points or nothing. The defense had a much better game. Now, still, I don't like how much we're blitzing. When it comes to the offense, we just, Donovan Edwards,
Starting point is 00:53:38 I think the boys got the yips a little bit. I love the kid to death. It just seems like he's having a hard time. He had a run on the left side where he goes and fumbles the ball. It goes right into the Illinois. Now, the Illinois offense, or the Michigan offense, Tuttle, third and seven, starts running. It's open, gets tracked down from behind.
Starting point is 00:53:55 ball gets hammered out fumble they get a turnover on a short field a couple of series later we have a pick that gets called back they have a pick six or maybe down to the four yard line that gets called back
Starting point is 00:54:09 the next play or the play following that another fumble these issues are just snowballing and the thing that breaks my heart and I like I like Tuttle I like orgy and I like the
Starting point is 00:54:25 kid that started a quarterback in the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, we just don't have the quality passing we need for the talent we have on this team. That is a criticism, but it is one that it's like, this is just the reality of what's going on with the Michigan Wolverines. We don't have the ability to push the ball downfield vertically. Like, we just can't do it. Dave Portno has himself, Michigan fans, I'm on it.
Starting point is 00:54:51 And I literally, that actually gave me hope. Because if you look at our offensive line, jelling coming together. Our tight end, that's the person I probably feel most, I feel most bad for is because he is a kid that is, was argued as maybe the best tied in all of college full before the football season started. And you just don't have a way to get him the football. There was multiple outs and routes that he was running where there was plenty of separation where they just couldn't connect to him. The kid, I'll tell you what, his draft stock might be going down. but my God, whoever picks him up is going to have the steal of the draft
Starting point is 00:55:28 because this kid just isn't able to put the film out there that he wants to put out there. Well, that's because it's truly like it... We just don't have somebody they can throw him the ball. No doubt. And defensively speaking, it's hey, guys, stop the run, make whatever quarterback's out there be this. And when we know it's a passing situation,
Starting point is 00:55:42 we're going to have a couple sets of eyes on Loveland. So you take away those things. Like, it's going to be hard for you guys. Illinois's quarterback, as you know, as Nebraska found out, that quarterback is really good. He's good enough at throwing. And he's an elusive quarterback. When you are in a two minute or a passing down situation, you need to have coordinated rushes.
Starting point is 00:56:02 You need to have pressure up the middle and not go past the line of the quarterback to get back to him when he tries to break through those gaps, those B gaps, C gaps, A gaps, when he's trying to run because he's going to make plays with his legs. And so those are a lot of things that fell apart towards the end of that game as well. Is this a Big Ten championship team this year? No. it's not do we have a lot of talent on this football team yes we're just missing a few key pieces that unfortunately are the most important position in football and i i hate saying like this i'm not trying to shit on those guys that are playing and putting their heart in the line every single day it just it's the proofs in the pudding and we have the film out there where we just
Starting point is 00:56:48 can't push the ball in the field like i said i like those guys i think they're i've dmed with all of them. I think they're fantastic. The fact that they're still sticking it out and putting 100% of themselves in the field every time they go on is an admirable thing. We got Michigan State this week. We got the Paul Bunyan trophy. Michigan State's also 4 and 3.
Starting point is 00:57:08 It's in Ann Arbor. It's at 7.30 this weekend. Michigan's favored by minus, they're favored by 5.5. Right now. And I'm nervous. Because I've been real fucking nasty to the Michigan State fans. Of all the college football programs,
Starting point is 00:57:20 I despise Michigan State the most. They're not, it's an ugly campus. They're a less than program. They don't deserve to be on the same football field as a prestigious program like the University of Michigan. However, it's going to be a fucking ball game at night in Ann Arbor. And that scares the shit out of me.
Starting point is 00:57:43 That scares the absolute shit out of me. So we're hurting right now. We're hurting. It's all it is. We're hurting right now. We're hurting right now, but better days ahead. People think Sharon Moore is not the answer. Go fuck yourself.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Because he is the guy. We just have one key issue is that we're unfortunately playing a game with throwing turned off right now. That's just, that's how we've essentially set up our settings in the game. And that's just how it's working out. Go to somebody else. Is that sad? Go to Garrett. We can, so we have our guests for next week.
Starting point is 00:58:17 He's here in the shop right now, Bert Kreisher.

And I was like, potatoes out, it was one of my first jokes. And I really would say that. And then my boss was like, don't be funny, Wolverine's not funny. Like, she'd hear me
Starting point is 01:01:31 out in the park and be like, stop making fucking jokes. I'm like, I'm a comedian. She's like, well, maybe this is the wrong fit for you. I'm like, well, maybe you are a ex-Disney princess that put on some weight, and now you're taking it out of the characters. True story. I don't want to say her full name. True story. She was overweight. He was actually a big gal.
Starting point is 01:01:46 She was a big gal. And she's fine now, but she just was like, yeah. Anyway. But so, yeah, the Spider-Man was, there was one of them that was, was, was gay. And he was fucking, dude, his fucking, when he would fire webs, dude, it was always a little like, just, you know, it wasn't bad. It was just different. Right. You know?
Starting point is 01:02:05 It wasn't. By the way, I sound like a dad who's definitely not, uh, I feel like, my son's not bad. He's just different, you know. But, uh, he, he would break the wrist a little too much. Break the wrist a little too much. He and there was a guy who was playing Shrek and they were dating and they got somebody was fucking somebody and they got into it in character in the park. Bro, when I tell you like, you know, I used to live with a guy who worked at AT&T and a guy
Starting point is 01:02:27 was a chef and we'd come home at night and all like commiserate stories. You know, how was your day? My buddy, AT&T big. You know, I fucking hate people, dude. People come in. They don't know how to work the phones. They're just like, how do I upgrade the plan? It's like, I already upgraded it for you.
Starting point is 01:02:40 Do you even know, like, it won't turn on? Like, it's actually on right now. And then my chef buddy would just be. blackout drunk because, you know, anyone that works in the, you know, the food industry, they, you know, they work and then they come home when they booze, right? So he'd be fucked up. And they're like, Adam, how was your day? And I was like, dude, I saw a trolley drive by me with SpongeBob, Curious George, and Fival, blasting the song, Ui, Ua, Ching Chang Walla, Bing Bang. And I was holding a multicolored squirt gun. And I was playing a 1940s cop.
Starting point is 01:03:07 And my boss told me, put down the squirt gun, you're ruining 1940s New York. And I'm like, did you hear the fucking trolley that just drove by blasting that song? I'm not a history buff, but I don't think who ching ching wawa being played during World War II Anyway so Who are you guys voting for? No what was the question?
Starting point is 01:03:23 No oh yeah so uh spider man so then Spider-Man and Shrek they're fighting and I was just like dude this is wild because kids thought it was a part of like a daytime show but they were like got into it because Shrek was under the fucking thing and was like he's just a friend

Starting point is 01:03:47 I guess, you know, they can curse now. Multi-universe. They can curse now. Multi-verse before it even started. Yeah, man. How long did you have that job for? I was,
Starting point is 01:03:54 so I went to USC. I was there during the Trojan War, the Pete Carroll years. Yeah. My first, 0-1 to 05, so my first year. Oh, the good year.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Bro. The years that you hang your hat on. Bro. I mean, we're talking, you know, not just Liner, Reggie Lendale
Starting point is 01:04:07 Carson for two years, but fucking Mike Williams, Dway and Jared, you know uh re ma luga i mean oh my god dude up the uh up and down the line and uh and now sammy d's become a good buddy of mine who had a good run there and is you know five and oh and uh making making everybody in so cal look good um it was wild he's having a hell of a year bro he's having a sam donald oh yeah it's so cool sports are so i mean you guys know this man it's so wild like people get uh written off so quickly when they have high expectations and i guess understandably so
Starting point is 01:04:38 but man to be number three pick I have a shit situation and I just saw him in Minnesota and I was out there doing shows and he I go I keep hearing these pundants try to act like they know you and say like oh San Francisco like he got better like of course dude you back up
Starting point is 01:04:52 you were shinh and that's why he's doing well and I go well is that now I want to ask the source to that have something to do with it he goes dude I always will say now I got my PhD in football being in San Frane no shit yeah and he goes I
Starting point is 01:05:02 he said just understanding coverages more obviously being more season, more comfy in your own skin. But he said, look at that baby boy face, dude. Look at that fucking five inches hard, dude. And so he said that just taking his time and learning not to that you don't have to force anything is what he really got.
Starting point is 01:05:23 He's like so many young QBs like want to scramble, it would have to feel like they got to make a play. And he's like knowing that it's okay to throw it away if it's not there. Right. And so then I said, well, what about, I think a few games ago when he scrambled out to the left and hit Jefferson in the corner and he goes, well, it was third down. I knew we had points. And so it was, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:40 trying to make something happen. As soon as I got outside the pocket, I saw him and he goes, and I saw the defender's back turn it. And I was just like, oh, I feel bad for this guy. Like, because he was just like, oh, this is six, you know?
Starting point is 01:05:48 Yeah, especially when he says, is like the greatest guy's ever, like, you know. Yeah, he might be the goat when it's all. He said him and McCaffrey are like the two studs of the, shout up McCaffrey, dude. First off, he is like, if there was a mural to have on this bus,
Starting point is 01:06:02 it would be McCaffrey. He's a great white hope. Yeah. He gives all of us, We live all white employees, and it's just like, good for you, man. He's given a back. Dude, give him a chance, dude, because I'll say, no, but, um, just go on a super pro
Starting point is 01:06:14 white ran. But being at SC during that time, you know, the Lakers were Kobe Shaq running the table and, uh, you know, what, Dodgers, I guess were okay, but, um, SEC football was king, dude. I mean, it was, that's why when Reggie got in trouble, I was, everybody was so pissed because it was like, dude, they were Bush jerseys everywhere, not just around campus, all of loss I mean he was a god he was so so yeah man give him an escalate in a fucking
Starting point is 01:06:39 bupug whatever you gave him dude like I think he earned it every every kid around the country too was watching his highlights to where 100% at all time but in 0105 like to take advantage of a city like L.A. and have everybody actually back it's got to be one of the hardest things to do I heard they were like
Starting point is 01:06:55 these guys were dating celebrities in oh yeah in college oh you'd see Kardashians are on campus and like Kardashians before Kardashian this is when the Kardashians Liner was fucking made Ryan. No, I'm joking. Yeah, before Paris.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Yeah. Yeah, I think it was like reality TV got going, what was the height of it? Probably about early mid-2000s maybe. Yeah, I mean, that's what MTV was going off. Next and Roommators. Jersey Shore. Those aren't real. That's not reality TV, is it?
Starting point is 01:07:19 No, yeah, for sure. Does that count? I mean, not like the, how we, I guess, view it now. Yeah. But if you look back at like 0-105, like the Paris Hilton show, whatever that show was called, don't act like you don't know it. I don't. I don't, I swear to God.
Starting point is 01:07:31 I'm not a. 50 bucks to be come up with it right now. Oh, fuck. It was with her and Lionel's daughter, right? Yeah. Homegrown or fucking Twat City or what was it? No. No, it was a...
Starting point is 01:07:41 I really don't know. By the way, I watched five seasons of Twad City without even knowing what it was. What is Twat City? It's not a real show. What do you talk? I was just, I said, well, I was trying to come up
Starting point is 01:07:52 with the name of the Nicole Richie Parasilton show. Would you know? Simple life. See? I knew it was a couple banger. Okay. Boom, boom. Simple life. Simple life. Twat City was...
Starting point is 01:08:00 On that show, Kim Kardashian was like Parasilton's lackey. Yeah. And that's like 01 to 05. This is before like the peak. I feel like the peak is now, right? Everyone's diving in. I don't know. Jersey Shore was hot back in 2010.
Starting point is 01:08:10 I remember the first time I saw Jersey Shore and I was like, wow, this is unbelievable. Unreal. Because the hype I let in. You bet hey, we got a grenade outside. Bro. I, dude, Snokey just liked one of my reels and I'm like, I kind of got a little like, okay. Yeah, you got amazing. You know, here we come.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Dude, I might have been on, you know, kill Tony guests in the year, but this fucking feels. This might be it. Snooky took a punch from a PE teacher, you know? Yeah. That show, the hype got so big, and I almost didn't want to watch it because I was like, there's no way it's going to live up to what I have created. And it surpassed it, dude. No shit.
Starting point is 01:08:43 I mean, I was high as balls, but it was also like, they were just, it felt like real world, they were still people. Like, they felt like you could see that guy outside. These guys were like. Insane. You're like, they're caricatures of human beings. Yeah. And they, but they weren't.
Starting point is 01:08:57 They were like, I mean, look, like, I feel like that guy was that guy before that camera started rolling. And he was just like, yeah, dude, nothing's changing. Yeah, tan, Jim, what was the third thing? Yeah, GTL, Jim tan laundry. Jim tan laundry. Bro, the situation on the... The shirt before the shirt.
Starting point is 01:09:12 The shirt before the shirt, dude. Yeah, but so yeah, a huge sports fan. I mean, Seattle guy, so obviously Pete went to Seattle. That was amazing. That's why I was so sad when he got canned because it was like, dude, that was my stepdad for 17 years. Huge M's fan, Sonics, RIP. You know, we can talk about the Sonics leaving.
Starting point is 01:09:28 We can also talk about my parents' divorce, whatever. However, sad, you want to make. make this fucking podcast. They'll be back though. I've got to know Sean Kempto real well NGP, which is fucking rad and smoke. Dude, I did a Doctor Phil live show in Seattle at this about 1000 C theater. We're to make it real Seattle. We're doing this big Dr. Phil Live tour now, right?
Starting point is 01:09:48 And all these theaters. And so in each place you want to try to get somebody from like when we do the Nashville one, we got some pretty big music guys from down here. They're going to come on and some people that just, you know, try to get somebody from here if not fly them out to there, if they're not from there and just make the show as special as possible. So Joel McHale is a good buddy mine.
Starting point is 01:10:07 He's a big Seattle baby. And he was in Vancouver shooting his Fox show. And so he stayed down. And then we got Sean Kemp come on and some Seahawks. And then we got the fish, the market fish guys, right?
Starting point is 01:10:19 We hit him up and like, how much to come throw fish into the fucking crowd? And they were like, we're fucking fans, man. Like, we'll do it for this amount if you just want to buy the fish. So it was like, you know,
Starting point is 01:10:28 I think 75 fish. And then there was a king salmon that was like 300. And so it became a cool thing where it was like, we're going to do Seattle Tribune with Joel McAil. So it was like, and they were all fan submitted questions. Like, Joel, you know, Costco was created after, you know, what suburban fatty? And I'd give like a bunch of names. And every answer he got would be right.
Starting point is 01:10:46 And then turn the watch on. Who wants to catch a fucking fish? And then these guys would come out and the musical playing, bro. I've never seen, you know, you go to any sporting event when they got the T-shirt canon or fucking, you know, beanieies, whatever it tells it. People go nuts, dude. We love free shit. Stop saying it's just a Jew thing, man. Everyone loves free shit.
Starting point is 01:11:03 And this guy fucking bare-handed one, dude, the place went bonkers. And, dude, it was awesome. So, but Kemp came on. And the next day, he hit me up. And that's my white rapper brother-in-law, Dorte. He closed the show out. Fucking, you know, made his night. And he hit me up the next day, Rain Man.
Starting point is 01:11:20 And he goes, he's in my phone as Rain Man. And he goes, dude, so fun. Like, come down to the shop. He's got a weed shop called Kemp's Cannabis in downtown Seattle. And he goes, come on down. Let's burn one down. like go get some lunch and I'm like yeah dude whatever you fucking say you could have said let's go vandalize a baskin robins let's go kidnap a fucking gaggle of little people and sell them to hamas
Starting point is 01:11:39 whatever you want to do and so we go down to kemp's cannabis yeah and we're working around downtown Seattle on a beautiful summer day smoking joints he's asking me about comedy shit he's telling unbelievable NBA stories and it's just like bro comedy got like it's just wild dude and he's a he's a fucking very cool guy and and uh yeah man did you ever see like this amount of doors opening for you when you decided to do comedy? No way, man. Don't you can't even...
Starting point is 01:12:05 I mean, you're a Dr. Phil tour. Yeah, that's wild. Which is crazy. And Dr. Phil has... Hey, oh, absolutely. Yeah, the clips are everywhere. Dr. Phil, what, he's the one that said you were the kill Tony and guest of the year, correct?
Starting point is 01:12:17 He gave that whole clip to you. Yeah, yeah. He's, um, uh, when does this come out, by the way? Next Tuesday. Okay, cool. Well, there's some stuff I'll tell you guys off cam. But he's, he's, uh, signed off on the show. And like, I've talked to him recently and he's just,
Starting point is 01:12:30 just like, it's real funny, man. You know, you would have known a long time ago if I wasn't cool with this shit, you know? Yeah, yeah. And he was like, you know, when we first talked to, he was like, I got one request, can you stop kissing me as Bobby Lee? Or kissing Bobby Lee as me.
Starting point is 01:12:43 Yeah. Because I've kissed Bobby Lee twice. And I go, I can't do that, Phil. I know that you're happy married of 48 years, but I also know you love the soft supple lips of a 50-old Korean man. And I swear, he takes a beat and he goes, we'll be right back.
Starting point is 01:12:54 I was like, this guy's funny shit. Because he's watching up. And he's, yeah, there again. I mean, that's a, fucking bad angle because that looks like I'm really enjoying it. Yeah. It looks like, yeah, that's it. That's our first kiss look.
Starting point is 01:13:06 Have you guys, you talked to Dr. Phil about coming on and you interviewing Dr. Phil? That's in the works. Yeah. It's in the works right now. Yeah. And so, but you know,
Starting point is 01:13:13 it's, I knew my intentions the whole time weren't, I was never trying to defame him. It was just all goofy parody. And, but you still don't know how someone's going to take being impersonated, right? I've heard from friends that have been on site and live that there's been guests that have come on.
Starting point is 01:13:27 And, you know, my friend or whoever, does an amazing impression of them. So it's like, oh, what a great opportunity to do some sort of looking in the mirror sketch or having two McConaughey's, whatever it is. And the person is like, I don't want any part of that.
Starting point is 01:13:40 And you're like, dude, what a bummer. Like, if you can't laugh at yourself. And again, I don't feel like what I'm doing is, I'm not up there being like, you know, women deserve a couple of fucking, you know, you have a lot tap from time. You know, I'm not doing anything like that that makes him look bad or I don't pull from, you know,
Starting point is 01:13:58 what he actually does in real life. It's just all heightened, and still me through all the makeup, you know. But, you know, it was the actor strike hit. And after COVID, I just kind of got to a real stale point where it's like, you know, you guys are the same way. It's like you're just always trying to throw darts, man, and be creative and find ways to, you know, not just make money and support yourself, but like, for me, it's like, if I'm not flexing the creative muscle, I'm like trying to do new shit.
Starting point is 01:14:24 Like, fuck, what are you doing? You know, going on stage and doing the same shit every time. That's why I love doing crowdworking in between my show. shows, you know, peppered through because it just breaks the monotony of straight material, you know, and it's, uh, it's, you know, it's the spontaneity of not knowing what's going to happen. And so when the actor strike was happening, it was like, I don't want to wait around for jobs to happen. And really waiting around to be in other people's shit just runs its course. Yeah. So it was like, all right, I love doing, I love being on stage. I, you know, had a,
Starting point is 01:14:51 you know, with USC for, for acting school and, and then, you know, did a bunch of plays. And, and that's why I started doing stand-up because I just liked being on stage. and I was like, there's got to be something else I can do. I'd been fucking around with Jeremiah Watkins during COVID, doing these like lost Dr. Phil episodes with all his characters. So I kind of honed the character that way. And I was doing these Adam Ray and Friends shows at the comedy store. And everyone started kind of doing, you know,
Starting point is 01:15:13 I think just around that time, an end friend show. And I was like, fuck, now I'm just like one of like, I'm just doing what everyone's doing, you know? Right, right. And again, that just makes you feel like, like, yeah, I'm just like, I got more to bring to the table. Just a cogging machine. Totally, dude.
Starting point is 01:15:26 And you're like, I want to, you got to try it. you know doing a live show then there's the you know always the apprehension of like oh like fucking the store's my home club so the staff like they're going to be judging me doing something different and your comic friends in the back watching you just have to get over that shit right so eventually it was like who fucking cares if this bombs you got to try you got to try something and bill burr had to cancel the last show so i knew i had him committed to the uh to whatever next show i did and so i called him up and i was like billy i might like i'm thinking about doing this like live show is dr phil I don't know what it looks like.
Starting point is 01:15:57 It's like a late night show. I'll interview you, maybe do some stand-up. And he just couldn't have been quicker to be like, dude, fucking, yes, dude, I'm fucking in. That's fucking so funny. Dude, make fun of my anger issues. Say, I got a black wife going on that, you know? And it was like, it crushed.
Starting point is 01:16:10 It sold out in a day. And then, so I was like, at least like, because I wanted to... That was the first episode. That was the first one about a year ago. Yeah. Probably about a year ago, a couple weeks ago. And he just ripped.
Starting point is 01:16:21 And he and I had a great banter. And he immediately was like, I want to... He's like, we're going to do it again. you got to go harder at me because I was trying to find my how nervous really? Bill's my favorite comics so I'm like you know even though I'm in character and I felt a little more comfy to jab him I'm still like I don't want to fucking not be funny in front of them but so I felt pretty good and then we did it the second time and it was just like
Starting point is 01:16:39 we started the show and I was like you and he said something and I go you're such a fucking cuck sucker aren't you I go you're an angry guy you wake up in the morning just wanted to hit something don't you and like and then we just had a much better like report and he's doing it again for the third time in December at the store but so that like gave immediate eyeballs to it right and then it was like you know we're talking about adam divine it's like you know in this business too and you guys are great examples of this you get to do cool shit and work with cool people if you you work hard and you fucking be kind
Starting point is 01:17:09 dude it's really not that tough to not be a piece of shit it's not it's tough to it's it's easy to not be a piece of shit and not be a pedophile you know how easy it is to look at a kid and not go yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum it's so easy to not do that and it's so easy to be kind of people dude and then people want to fuck with you so i start going i go adam divino you want to do it bobby lee bobby lee i'm quoting jared from subway and then i go quote and then i go too soon and uh so then bobby and and santino came on then rife then you know then it was like now not only find some cool combos you know winnie cummings and nicky glazer you did it together which is another cool part about it where you're going Whitney and nicky know each other but they never been like on a show like that together so that was a
Starting point is 01:17:50 really cool dynamic. Then we had, you know, Rick Glassman's a good buddy of mine and Sal O'Ocano and they know each other, but Rick helped me get Dak Shepard. And then I was like, well, I'm going to have all three of them at the same time. And that's kind of a challenge just to kind of balance the energies. But then that was fun. And then Jellyroll came by and Pete Holmes and Tiffany Addish. And now we got, you know, this next one we're doing. The last one we just had was Chris DeFano and Fortune Feimster and Carolla. And now we got Rob Lo, Wayne Brady, and Josh Wolf. And then December one is Bill Burr, Jaliel White, Rob Riggle, and Tony Hawk. just fucking, you know,
Starting point is 01:18:20 Mary fuck, yeah, it's all time, you know. Mary, fuck, kill fuck. So you do it
Starting point is 01:18:25 Bill Burr once and did you know right there and there, I was like, okay, I got something here. I think so.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Well, actually no, I knew it was fun and I, and the audience had a good time. So I was like, it's at least, and then the challenge
Starting point is 01:18:37 of like, well now, because we just kind of had loose, like, I'll come out and do a monologue, you know, which was like three jokes,
Starting point is 01:18:43 just kind of, you know, today show's all about imitation, you know, Webster's Diction and then some sort of thing and then three jokes and then some crowdwork and then a little quick bit before and then I had these old sketches that I shot
Starting point is 01:18:54 as fake commercials and it was fun so then it was the challenge of now let's just make it tighter and better and then we got rid of the stand-up part because that just ate 20 minutes and then each show is just like different like we I had you know randomly met Mark Summers
Starting point is 01:19:10 used to host Doubledair like 10 years ago and so as I'm trying to add these extra elements to the show I'm like what if Mark came on and like to end the show Jeremiah always comes on at the end as a new character and then he and I get in a fight and that's how the show ends
Starting point is 01:19:23 and then I do like this final thought with a spotlight and piano music you know where it's like well we learned a lot today you know after I beat the shit out of Jeremiah with sound effects and fart noises whatever in any character and so I go what if Mark Summers comes on
Starting point is 01:19:36 and we do a double dare thing just a way to you and so we built all these double dare sets and Jeremiah played the kid and we had the fucking helmets and we had people come up and we had the double day music and Mark Summers hosted it and he was hilarious yeah here we go I mean he used to be a fucking uh Mark Summers used to be a yeah something is how the fight ends it yeah it's just all the sound effects and then yeah and Mark Summers yeah over the top sound effects. We put sex toys in the ball pit
Starting point is 01:20:03 so that's like what you had to it was like find the flag or the or the or the dealdo you know covered in fucking double dare mush and Mark Summers is like oh what is that you're doing punches oh yeah then I fucking eat shit for real then I get up and I'm like I'm fine I'm fine. When we start chatting, I'm like, I'm fine. When you're finding this character, how, as you're, like, working through the process, how hard is it for you to stay in character at all times?
Starting point is 01:20:26 I don't know, man. I mean, you know, fucking... Too deep of a question? No, no, no, not at all. I mean, uh... He's not just a bad one. Bro, I, uh, somebody just asked me that. I'm not like, uh, you know, you hear about some...
Starting point is 01:20:38 Tom Hanks got asked that question because there was about when Heath Ledger went so deep with the Joker. Yeah. And I think there was, like, talks that he, like, wouldn't... You know, there's some acts of that he, there's that, like Jim Carrey from Man on the Moon went on set as Andy Kaufman and it was like Andy Kaufman the whole time and apparently it was a fucking
Starting point is 01:20:51 it was wild and then Tom Axis like dude I'm fucking, I'm forced comp and then I fucking go take his shit and I'm like you know, I'm just, I can break it, you know? Some people have that and some people need to talk to me in character, whatever. It's, yeah, man, I'm in and out of it. But, you know, I don't know
Starting point is 01:21:07 all the reps of, with acting and stuff probably at least give me a good base to know how to like, but again, it's still me, but it's like, I guess if you're asking you know can I uh stay in the voice yeah that's pretty easy to maintain yeah just because reps are doing it but um but yeah I mean no clue you never know what is going to be a thing that's going to get you more anything so it's like you have to do it with the set with the intention of like this is fun which is truly how it started and then a challenge and then like something different I'll do it once a month
Starting point is 01:21:37 just to kind of mix up the monotony of all the other bullshit and then yeah dude I mean like now it's like you know but again it's it's something that's opening doors for other shit it's I am not. If I was three years in a comedy, yeah, dude, I'd probably be in full fill right now. And we're, there's a piece of us hoping. Well, dude.
Starting point is 01:21:53 Is you going to walk through the door as I'm down to come back and do that for sure because you guys are the shit. But like, yeah, if I hadn't found my voice through comedy, because now it's like all my stand-up shows are packing out because people from Kill Tony and this are like, they're coming to the shows. Right.
Starting point is 01:22:08 Like all the shows in Zanis this week are sold out. And I only, they would only give me a one-nighter up until about, you know, two years ago. I was like, can I get a weekend? That guy, you just don't move tickets. And now everyone's coming out. And I've been doing stand-up 17 years.
Starting point is 01:22:18 So then you go, okay, cool. I'm glad that I stuck with it. So now that, like, everyone coming is going to get a great show because I'm ready for it.

Starting point is 01:22:54 so tattoos can look and feel their best for life. Thank you, Will. And yes, that is true. I am covered in tattoos and I have wanted to be since I was a little wee boy. Now, when you get tattoos at first, when you first get them, they're vibrant, they're beautiful, they're very dark.
Starting point is 01:23:09 But as you get older, as the sun starts to expose a little bit more on the skin, they become a little more gray, a little more faded, those tight lines now start to bleed together a little bit. With Hustle Butter, when you take it and you put it on your skin, not only does it smell tropical. So even in the wintertime, boys and girls, it's like you're playing in the sand.

Starting point is 01:25:21 Yes. Perfect. Do it. Go crazy on Hans. William will be weird about it. And then I got a new best. And then, you know, do it, do it. They don't know what we're doing down here. They don't know.
Starting point is 01:25:35 They don't get it. And so Tony's a shit, dude. So Tony is so, I've known him forever. and that's such an added advantage that he was so receptive to like, yeah, dude, come fucking do it. And we got off stage and it was really fun. You can feel in the moment at the mothership
Starting point is 01:25:50 and, you know, like anything, right? You know from just how it's going that like, all right, I think this will be okay online. And Tony gets off, it's like, that was fucking unbelievable. And then we did another character. I did this old woman named Elaine. And then when this happened, I think he, because we had done a few other characters,
Starting point is 01:26:07 he was like, oh, shit, I know, you know, we'll use the makeup gal to do it. And she was on her deathbed and she fucking sucked it up. Jet Aspennell shout out. She came down and fucking Shane was a gangster and stayed in makeup for two hours. And, you know, he'd done Trump three times. I've never done Biden. So we're back there trying to help each other out.
Starting point is 01:26:22 He's, you know, or at least he's, you know, asking me. He's like, what are you going to do for the face? And I'm like, I'm kind of going to get the smirk going from time and do a lot of point. You know, hey, oh, we just got here. We got a, wait, we got a Jew. We got a white guy. We got a white, we got a black Asian guy. How about it?
Starting point is 01:26:35 You know, all types of guys, you know. And then I was just kind of doing the walk And then he was he thankfully was like Dude you got to get the aviators And so they got those for me last minute Which was I think a big time character Oh yeah Just being able to have those
Starting point is 01:26:47 To differentiate from my eyes You know And then also to be able to take them off And just see me up To change my face You know and do a little crazy shit But dude it was fun And man I've said this on stage
Starting point is 01:26:58 Shane and I talked to each other Maybe four or five times At comedy clubs and you know I did Phil when he did New Year's for Kill Tony last year So we got to shoot the shit a little bit. But we were getting to know each other in character doing that for two hours, which is so fucking weird.
Starting point is 01:27:12 You know, at one point I was like, Shane, there's a morse we've ever talked to each other. And he goes, Joe, shut the fuck up. Traitor Joe, you fucking get a dice. But yeah, dude, he was. But, you know, you just kind of go, all right, we're both pros. Like, we don't, we want each other to win. So you got each other's backs. But still finding the rapport is always what's,
Starting point is 01:27:36 you know, a new thing, especially when you're, like, doing something like that for the first time. But, like, he's so fucking funny, dude. So, like, just knowing that he was going to be there and come out, it was like, all I got to do is find pockets to, like, be funny. But, you know, a friend of mine was like, dude, you got easy, man. Like, all you got to do is mumble and stumble. I'm like, dude, that's funny for a minute. Like, that's, I'm going to be able for two hours.
Starting point is 01:27:57 I got to find, by the way, a shot of Aaron Rogers. I went up to him at the second night of MSG. He was tossing footballs into the crowd. I walk up to him. I go, you're Aaron, big fan. Big fan. He goes, dude, you're so funny. I go, hey, the vaccine does work.
Starting point is 01:28:12 And he just fucking laughed, dude. And I go, hey, stop laughing. It's real. It's real. And just stayed in character. And he was like, dude, he was like, all right, man. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 01:28:20 It's wild that you guys, like, went off each other, went back and forth and makeup. Because when you walk out, Shane's face, it's like, it's like he saw you for the first time. Yeah, dude. He just couldn't hold it in. Yeah, totally. Yeah. And that also makes it hilarious. Bro, it's got like,
Starting point is 01:28:34 Tony just told me like the Brady Roast is like the most watched thing this year and this just surpassed it. No shit. Kill Tony is like 2.5 billion off. This episode?
Starting point is 01:28:41 Yes. No shit. Yeah, because Kill Tony's been on for 11 years. Yeah, he was talking about how I was been going. What happens? All right.
Starting point is 01:28:50 Let's move on. I was trying to say the third most watch thing was two girls won't cause. It's fine. You know, that is a staple to all of our childhood. That is a staple.
Starting point is 01:28:57 Bro, unfortunately, that's why you guys are younger than me. It's, I said last night I brought it up and I said, I go, God, I go, isn't it fucked up? I go, I'll never forget who sent me the link to two goals one cup. Like Sean Flanagan, I'll say his name, dude.
Starting point is 01:29:10 Cody January. What's that? Cody January, sent me the clue. Cody January? Yes. Bro, detective slash porn star? Who's Cody January? Just a gritty guard.
Starting point is 01:29:19 The Cactus Shadow's high school football team. Dude, my aunt, rest in peace, Aunt Shirley, anytime I'd say I love you, go, all right. And she would never say it back. And so, but she was dating a guy when my uncle passed. that we're married for 65 years, dating a guy in her home named Dick Justice. And I go, surely, I go, I go, I go, because she goes, I have a sometimes boyfriend. I go, what does that mean? She goes, sometimes we hold hands.
Starting point is 01:29:41 I go, that's fucking so cute. And I go, what's his name? She goes, Dick. I go, I don't ask why you were dating him. She goes, oh, stop that. And then I go, I got to meet Dick Justice. She goes, she canty, passed away three days ago. And I was like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 01:29:53 And she goes, that's my life. I make friends and then they die. Talk to you later, you know. But Cody January is a great name, too. phenomenal name. But so don't remember, don't forget where I was, who sent me the link,
Starting point is 01:30:04 is what I said on stage. I go, I'll never forget who sent me the link for two goes one cup and where I was on 9-11. And I go, that's sad,
Starting point is 01:30:11 both just a horrible tragedy, you know, and it got about as much laughs as it's getting right now, but, but it's true. I mean, that was a wild,
Starting point is 01:30:21 fuck that was wild. We don't have to talk about it anymore. 9-11 or the two-gos-one cup. We can talk about both if you want. You know what? Let's save it for part two when Phil comes on. There we go.
Starting point is 01:30:28 No doubt. There we go. Let me ask you this. You guys big Halloween guys? What is this just for? Are you going to do a big bang on Halloween? Mass is right. Massive Halloween.
Starting point is 01:30:34 I fucking love that, dude. You guys with Halloween? Oh, love it, dude. What do you give me your top three holidays? Oh, fuck, dude. You know, as much as, you know, I guess, you know, Jew. Plus, you're a Hanukkah guy. I'm a Hanukkah guy.

Starting point is 01:30:56 No, it's great. Hanukkah's great, it's eight days. Passover is a great holiday because it's very, if you do a loosey-goosey version of it as far as going through the book and the story, there's a lot of symbolism with the foods,
Starting point is 01:31:08 but it's a real fun dinner party hang. And that's like what's great about it. And Jews are big on family fucking and doing good deeds, you know? And Mitz was, as we call him. And so, but Christmas, dude, dude, love, love that time of year. You know, all the music being home.
Starting point is 01:31:24 And my wife had never, she's from Arizona. so when she went up to Seattle for like the holidays and got to be around, you know, A. Z, it's like beautiful in December. So she's in like true fall weather for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now she's all about it and she wants to go back up there. But Halloween is up there for sure. The Halloween parties, I mean, first time I did mushrooms was a Halloween party at my frat
Starting point is 01:31:44 A-E pie at USC and was on mushrooms for the first time. And that was one of the greatest nights of my life. I was dancing with a girl. She was, you know, grind on me. I thought I was, I thought I started coming my pants. I walked away and she like turned around And even like I was must have been making the face of like You know you guys can't hold it
Starting point is 01:32:02 We're so fucking dude we're such idiots Like I couldn't act cool and be like yeah like I'm fucking I can control what's happening I couldn't so I was just like And she just so then she like turned back I think she would like dancing harder you know Like knowing that I was going like you know fucking beetlejucing And then and then she And then she walked away like mission accomplished
Starting point is 01:32:20 Like you know I'll send you the bill And fucking and I go upstairs and I go to a buddy mine and he's like, are you right? And I just had probably just started tripping. And I was like, dude, I fucking, I'm freaking out, man. I just fucking thought I came in my pants. And by the way, I feel completely dry. I was like, I thought I came.
Starting point is 01:32:36 I didn't. So now what? I'm questioning everything now. And then he goes, dude, come in and watch some, we watched some MTV music videos. Lance Morris said it's ironic was on. Fucking the beginning starts. I just started fucking crying. And then it was just that I went back out.
Starting point is 01:32:49 And then, you know, I had smoked some weed and that kind of balance things out. But trick-or-treating is a lot of fun, dude. I went as a bird. My second grade, my mom went to Goodwill and got me a bird costume, but it wasn't even like from anything. Like you're thinking,
Starting point is 01:33:06 oh, were you big bird, were you Tweety Bird? Were you fucking Woody Woodpecker? No, dude. Just a fucking orange bird. No, purple. Purple, God, the outfits, I wish, I got to find it and post it, dude.

Whoa, yeah. And I just said to him, like, well, I said, you're 29, and I go, and he goes, I'm 33. And then there was a beat, and I go, if you fuck my wife, this podcast is over.

And when the Mariners, you know, had their spring training before they saved baseball in Seattle, you guys are sports fans. I don't know if you followed that in 95. Not a big baseball or basketball podcast. It's just football, right?
Starting point is 01:36:18 We're one dimensional. Yeah, yeah. But your parents are divorced. You were talking? Yeah, yeah. So I went down to AZO. What happened there? Cheated.

Starting point is 01:36:42 Then Santa Fe, then Wafa Nevada. What were your parents running from? Brother, my dad moving around to, like, different VA clinics to try to, like, make money and send it back. Yeah. But also the cops. Yeah. Yeah. Fair enough.
Starting point is 01:36:53 Making fentanyl brand names and selling them to Milf's. Well, before it was cool. Yeah, before. No, it was still cool. Was it? We've just been late to the game. Okay. But so big unit, I go down there.
Starting point is 01:37:02 I'm walking. My dad lived in Glendale. So, and I was like 123 every day. So one thing, I love AZ, but that heat is wild. Brutal. And I walked to the Arrowhead Mall and just drenched in sweat. But young fat Adam was like looking to burn cows. Back to the bird.
Starting point is 01:37:17 Dressed as a bird. Fat bird. You know, I'm out there, by the way, playing. Dude, not too far off. You know, adjust the face a bit. Bobby Lee in his costume So that's Bobby Lee If he was in up

Starting point is 01:37:47 And be on lookout Like a fucking owl You fat fucking Tweety bitch You know And that was a principal saying that to me. And so, and so here's the worst part.
Starting point is 01:37:58 Here's what I'm getting at. They would make the, the, um, the first through fourth grade parade their costumes through the fifth and sixth grade classes. So you can only imagine the embarrassment. So I'm,
Starting point is 01:38:09 and there was a hat on the bird costume. So like this, imagine pulling that bird face all the way down. And then the, uh, my eyes were through the, um, like the beak.
Starting point is 01:38:17 So the beak was like covering right here and like the eyes were through it. And then the eyes were here or the, yeah, I could look through the beak. And I'm waddling. through and I remember just waddling through his class and all these cool costumes and I hear the fifth and sixth graders laughing and they're like dude
Starting point is 01:38:29 how fool the fuck's in that bird outfit that's the fattest fucking bird I've ever seen dude and like that bird's got tits I mean dude it was wild dude and I remember just going to my mom being like this is the worst costume you've got ever been you know who shit how do you recover from that oh you don't dude you become a comedian
Starting point is 01:38:46 that's how it started that's your words story honestly it's probably not too far off Jesus Christ but yeah dude My mom would just put like this webbing on me And I would just be like a dead football player A dead baseball player Really?

You're just a wizard back there with the AI, huh?
Starting point is 01:39:58 Yeah, for real day. Sherman, you're killing it. It might be the best invention. Sherman's like that. Sherman is a Sherman, right? Sherman. Dude, I got a, you, let me just say this real quick. Kids, you can smoke weed and have a short-term memory.
Starting point is 01:40:09 I do these, you know, meet and greets after shows for free, which there might come at time when I run out energy. They're now taking 90 minutes to a couple hours after the show. It's a little wild. Yeah. Yeah, it's great because I did it when 20 people stayed, you know? So it's just like the same muscle, just more people. And again, when they're coming to the shows and they're like, you know,
Starting point is 01:40:28 dude, this one couple, I was just in Naples, just got out before Milton. And they had a miscarriage like fucking five months ago. The wife's like, I haven't smiled in fucking five months. You're our favorite comic. We came out. Like, we're not going to not come out. Hugged, talk for a while, whatever. That shit, you got to, you got to, not that every, you know.

It's just, you got to do it. No, that's really cool. And, uh, but so, you know, people will come up and, and it'd be a guy that I maybe talk to during the crowd.
Starting point is 01:40:59 And I'm like, Dave, right? And he's like, the fuck, that was the beginning of the show. And I'm like, yeah, I don't know, man. I just, it's wild. And so every time I do it, I'm like, all right, dude, when I get to a point to where I'm like, Scotty, Scotty, Scotty, Smedia, Sam, tonight. Then I'm going to be like, all right, I got to stop smoking pot. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:41:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But up until. You got a beautiful brain still. Dude, it's inspiring. Maybe it's adding to it. Yeah. It's fine on all cylinders. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 01:41:22 This is one of those pods, too, they're, like, seamless. Like, you just say one sentence and then you just go. Well, he just also, he asked himself questions. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. And please tell me if I'm talking to it. And please tell me if I'm talking too much.

Starting point is 01:41:42 carry the load. And I think I've now. And then going on pods like Kill Tony or Corolla We're like you gotta be active dude You know So it's like but I gotta you know You're your guy to show I don't want to fucking
Starting point is 01:41:53 That's not an invitation for you to stop talking You literally just keep doing exactly what you're talking By the way thank God you didn't fuck my life Tell me about comedians you hate First thought, Dane Cook Do you like them? 17 years in the game I heard a lot of bad things about him
Starting point is 01:42:05 I loved him in middle school Bro I don't There are a few people Hate's a strong word dude There's a few people I don't like. Don't like.
Starting point is 01:42:16 Hates, you know what? I've never, I can confidently say I've never wasted time hating somebody. Have I, have there been people where I'm like, oh, you're bad for comedy? Fuck yeah, dude. I'll give you a four or five right now.
Starting point is 01:42:31 Yeah. Where you're just a bad person. You're bad business wise. You talk shit. You're just like, what are you doing? It's tough enough, dude. It's so fucking tough to get anything going, you know? I mean, the, dude, having some, a nice bump right now and, like, shows being packed and getting to do this tour and it's all fun.
Starting point is 01:42:50 And really now it's all on me to, like, get sleep and not fucking, you know, uh, you know, smoke too much at night and blow my pipes out. But it's like, it's on you, dude. And it's really, uh, to go out of your way to like, you know what I'm saying? People like that, you're like, yeah, you're just like, you know, it's, uh, but there are some people that. You said you were going to give us four or five? Oh, you want me to give them to? of this you guys get this from bert bertr loves it
Starting point is 01:43:15 Chrysher to talk shit about comics Bert's always like who do you hate who do you hate who do you hate that's the fuck bro you're doing this podcast exactly like Bert does it too Will and I will say 15 words the whole time No you enjoy it
Starting point is 01:43:30 We enjoy this People hate when Bert do that right No people in the internet do But I love it personally Oh yeah yeah us Yeah bird is the man People can talk shit all they want That's got to be
Starting point is 01:43:38 Bert's story I mean dude when you When you've lived a cool life Like Bert has Don't you want to hear him tell all these stories and like the brains and thought like he's done like any guy's really loves it too thank you dude what a challenge i look at him to it and i just told him this when i saw him a little bit ago like the fully loaded thing was wild dude i did about four dates on it bring in using your
Starting point is 01:43:58 namesake and what you've created to bring together people that like don't ever get to hang out and and be on the road and make some cash and do some shows and like what and like it was so fun dude and not and and everybody is so in their lane trying to do their own shit so that's why it's cool when people kind of you know expand something like that to go let me let me let's you know again like just throwing darts and trying to create i mean he's always coming up with ideas dude it's pretty pretty cool so he hate uh dude uh dude sherman is looking at me a little too much Sherman actually he's uh people in the bus close your eyes in your mouth dude whoa that was fucking quick.
Starting point is 01:44:39 He's been beating the submission. I love you. He's been beating his submission. Wait. The reason why I brought that, I even said Dane Cook in the beginning is middle school Taylor was all about Dane Cook. I think all of us went through a big Dane Cook face. But you start to see these clips like Dave Chappelle had one where he was doing something
Starting point is 01:44:55 and like, hey, only to do a hard 10 because this is Dane's Night. And then at the end of the 10, he's like, hey, I don't usually do this, but I'm going to do a meet and greet after. And the whole place left and Dane's Night was ruined. So you kind of hear these stories about it. being cooked. Yeah, I mean, kind of be in a certain way.
Starting point is 01:45:10 I don't know if you've had any experiences like that, but personally I'm a fan. Yeah, I think Dane has, you know, I was a huge fan of his when I came up. Like there are certain people, you know, Eddie Murphy was the first, Deliris was the first stand-up I saw when I go,
Starting point is 01:45:27 oh man, that looks so fun, you know? Simbad was the first stand-up. I remember watching my dad showed me where I was like, dude, this is fucking hilarious. What is that? What is this guy? Like, I didn't know what stand-up was. Delirious made me kind of want to do it.
Starting point is 01:45:40 And then, yeah, I got, I listened to, I think, vicious circle and then got to L.A. And then was like, you know, at the Laugh Factory doing open mics. And then I'd get on shows that he was on. And then he'd get to know me. And then did a few dates with him. And like, he's an intense guy, you know, for sure. I, he, you know, he definitely, it's not everybody has that bugging them to want to like, and this is not an essential requirement of comedy,
Starting point is 01:46:08 but being, again, kind and hanging out goes a long way. And some people just don't. I think he also got so big, so quick. He skipped comedy clubs. He went from, like, doing his spots as far as, like, headlining, like, doing a weekend at Zanis, he never did. Because he won't write to theaters and colleges and was, like, making bank.
Starting point is 01:46:28 And then colleges at theaters to arenas, or theaters in the arena, you know. So he kind of skipped a step as far as being able to, to connect and be around and have the hang. Right. But then I'll say too, like, as I got to know him, he wasn't doing it even when he was still big. So it's like, and now I think he, yeah, and again, that's not a knock. It's just some people, and he's talked about being socially, you know, ridden with anxiety or
Starting point is 01:46:54 whatever. So I, you know, very understanding of that. It's a fight with those spot-up. Yeah, dude. The attention of detail in here is, what if Sherman was just a fucking robot, dude? And you're like, yeah, we got a Halloween robot from CBS. He might be. Sure, dude, could you look at me under that hat a little bit more like you're not going to stab me my cock when I sleep tonight?
Starting point is 01:47:14 Oh, tongue out, Jordan style. I just watched The Last Dance again, too. And yeah, so there's no, you know, it's not required to have to be a chum to everybody. But like, it does, I mean, dude, I, I'm not that way where I can just come in and go. Even at comedy clubs, you know, I walked into this club in Naples and they've got a huge staff, got big menus, a lot of moon parts, but probably 30 people moving and shaking, like in the kitchen and waiters and bartenders. And I'm walking around, I go, what's up?
Starting point is 01:47:49 What's up? I give a couple of bumps. You know, what's your name? Oh, cool. What's your name? What's your name? And I've always done that. Again, even when I was selling fucking 10 tickets because it feels weird to me to go into a place
Starting point is 01:47:57 and just act like they're not there. And then also when you get to know the staff that it, then you're like, oh, they have your back a little bit more to like make the whole weekend great right right so uh but some people just don't fucking do that and it's no it's not there's no right or wrong answer i only know what i've done but i um but i don't think he's a bad guy and i you know have had some uh fun uh chats with them and and times where i am like oh i i bet he wishes he would have kicked it more you know because who knows where i mean he's definitely he's still doing big theaters and he still got all his fans but like really yeah i don't know that yeah on a theater two and now i think
Starting point is 01:48:34 think. But so again, it's, uh, it's not, I don't know, and it goes back to the being kind thing, dude. If you're like, but again, if people don't, there's some people in our business that, like, they're comfy on stage and they're not comfy off. So if you need to, or you're just like, I'm doing my set and I'm going home because then I'm going to like work. But like, I had to, early on, some comics told me that like, fucking hang out a bit. And so I, you know, I have to strap on the Wolverine closet at fucking 9 a.m. and talk to, you know, uh, you know, people from overseas, you know, there was these, sometimes I'd talk to, I was in Wolverine costume, Greg Maddox,
Starting point is 01:49:09 Dave Matthews, fucking John Stamos and fucking, I saw Michael Jackson walk in there with a fucking sheet with his kids one time. And when I was in New York cop, and I blew my whistle and was like, hey, slow down, you're going too fast. And he fucking just kind of turned and, like, just, you know, I was like, oh shit, and I saw a little bit of the face, you know. And, uh, but, uh, yeah, man, I mean, like, you guys,
Starting point is 01:49:28 it's why people want to come on your guys' show, too, man, because you're outwardly, like, you know, chummy and you got you want to you know you seem inviting you won't have a fun time it matters man you know and if you put up a vibe where you're not doing that then people aren't gonna fuck with you right it seems like you tell a good origin story for your first time you jerked off bro let's go let's take it back and then you were wondering you were wondering about like the bus and how it started one our first like 20 episodes today's so september 15th i was sat down i go you know what now's a good time as any
Starting point is 01:50:03 you know I've been with this dick for 42 years let's fucking see what happened so so it was about a three and a half three and a half weeks ago the first time no dude of course not
Starting point is 01:50:16 I want to hear young middle school Adam Ray yeah two girls one cup you hated the video it was actually and this is OG bus like this would always be a staple question
Starting point is 01:50:28 it is yeah yeah I actually think the first well the first time I remember I think I got a hand job before I jerked off Really? Yeah. Hey. You're kind of the man like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:38 Do you kidding? Oh, dude, that was awesome. I didn't know how that was going to come out or be received. You just, you got way cool in our book because I feel like all of us. I was like 200 in before a girl even looked at me. Well, look, again, like dad, uh, that's my brother's now a doctor. I, can be good putting hair in a chest.
Starting point is 01:50:54 He was so fucking. I showed him a family guy when he was seven. He's got an amazing sense of humor now. I mean, it's unbelievable. Dude, show your kids the good shit when they can absorb it. Yeah. But, yeah, I think I was not nervous. It's not like your dad teaches you.
Starting point is 01:51:10 It's not like, like, my dad left, so I didn't have a dad to fucking show me how to spank it. No, it was like I just didn't. But, yeah, a hand job was probably fucking 13, 14. All right. Is that still? You got to be thinking, too, like, what's about to happen right now. Bro, it was wild. I can almost still tap into the feeling of it.
Starting point is 01:51:28 It was wild. Yeah. I mean, it's happening, you know, hands front. It was happening then. It's happening now. But, yeah, that was wild. I didn't remember who it was. Crazy, dude.
Starting point is 01:51:39 I actually did think about... Well, you don't remember who it was? I do. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because there's certain people you'll, like, you'll look for on Facebook from time to time. Just to kind of, like, there was a girl in my...
Starting point is 01:51:49 How are they doing out there? How are they doing? Yeah. And there was a girl in our fourth, fifth grade split, named Jenny Taylor. And she thought she was a cat. And she would like... Oh, gee.
Starting point is 01:51:58 And she would, like, scratch our teacher, Mrs. McQuay, R-I-P. she would scratch her. Her parents were like, she was four foot six, or four foot two. Her parents were like five feet. They were like little gnomes. Her dad had a giant beard.
Starting point is 01:52:10 They were scientists. And they would come in every year and do like a, they'd like, has anyone ever, can anyone spell riboplasm? And we're like, dude. Fuck off, dude. What is, we're in fifth grade, dude.
Starting point is 01:52:21 We're all trying to get hand jobs in eight years, you know. And so, but Jenny, I would look for Jenny from time to time shortly after that, when Facebook popped off. and I was like, dude, where?
Starting point is 01:52:32 No, no trace. So, but Facebook's good for that to find the old, uh, people that got you here. The old flings. Yeah. Um, what about you guys? And you've already talked about this, your first, uh, first time. Yeah, mine, yeah, I was in, in my bathroom on my toilet.
Starting point is 01:52:47 Um, or was it in the shower? I think that might have been the second time. That's when I experienced shampoo my second time. Very young in the game. Boy, that is a bold move. Yeah, you find out the wrong way, the hard way. That's like watching the new is subtitles on. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:59 You're just like, dude, this is not the way it's supposed to be enjoyed. But my foot would start, my foot started shaking and my toes started pointing when it started happening. And you're kind of scared for a second. But everything is like, oh, shit, how do I do that again? And then the second time around, I thought I was doing it. But then I just started peeing. I'm like, okay, I wasn't there yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:14 Wow, wait, you were jerking off and pee came out before your time? Yeah, was rocked up and thought I was about to go. But then I realized I just got in the shower and I just started peeing on the wall. But I was like, that's not it. That's not it. That's not it. I got a lot of questions. Well, how does your body, like, get, like, you're hard.
Starting point is 01:53:29 So you're, right? you're jerking off and then come. So pee just was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We got this. And then pee just went out first. Yeah. Oh, no, not pee, went out first. And then the, you know, the come.
Starting point is 01:53:40 That feels like very weird. No, no. Don't see a come like that. You know, you understand what I'm asking though? So you were jerking, you jerked off pee. I was jerking. And but then I started peeing, thinking like, okay, it's about to come again.
Starting point is 01:53:50 Because, again, I had only experienced one time. It's like what's happening in my body. I thought it was about to happen again, but I just started peeing naturally because I was in the shower. Did you think you're, did you know, you can obviously differentiate between the feelings of coming and peeing. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:54:03 So you weren't jerking off going like, fuck, dude, how am I going to tell my friends my piss has come? Like, you know what I'm saying? No, no. I just, I realize like, oh, I'm just being. Like, I just got to keep going. That's when I grab the shampoo, learn the hard way. Okay, so you were like, I'm not, my dick isn't respecting what I'm doing.
Starting point is 01:54:19 It's like, dude, we're just going to pee at this point until you step up to the streets. Yeah, you'll figure out what's going on. Treat us like a lady, yeah. Just a war. It is hard finding out. For me, I was, you brought up Jared from Subway. I could have easily been a victim of one of those gentlemen. I,
Starting point is 01:54:31 yes, you kid. I, I didn't think as a child that you could do it yourself. I thought like a girl had to do it for you. Otherwise, it just would not happen. So I actually was at my grandparents' house. Wow.
Starting point is 01:54:43 And I was in chat rooms getting advice. Oh my God, dude. And then nothing happened there. Nothing happened there. But then I was in, on my school bus. And I heard these like eighth graders talking in the back, how they're jerking off a bunch.
Starting point is 01:54:56 And I'm thinking, oh, fuck. You can really do this yourself. Wow. So I like went to my mom's apartment popped all in the lime wire And just started Lime wire Fosswire
Starting point is 01:55:06 All just given my computer aids And slowly just It was like a I didn't You know now like if you want to get it done You can do it under a minute for yourself No problem For me I kind of made a night out of it
Starting point is 01:55:19 Like I was just kind of tugging on it And I was just kind of tugging on Then literally my right leg started seizing And then my left leg And then it was just like I got panicked I yelled my mom I yelled for mom and then I ended up all over the keyboard.
Starting point is 01:55:32 Oh my God. It was the greatest to this day. Yeah. To this day. Yeah, it's, it'll never, what's the long as you guys have gone? Jerking it? Yeah. Like, you're talking about a solid goon sesh.
Starting point is 01:55:43 Oh, did you think I mean like, how long is you? Are you talking about like, are we edging in this situation? Or you're just saying how long we're abstained from it? Let me refresh. Let's unpack this entire thing. We need more. Which are the cameras on this time? Let's record this for real.
Starting point is 01:55:55 Yeah, okay. Let's start the show right now. Three, two, one. How, what's the long as you've gone without masturbating? Week, months. Yeah, months. Yeah, months. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:06 On purpose. I went through a football season. I went through a football season in college. I was like, I'm going to keep all this pent up. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Did it have an impact?
Starting point is 01:56:16 No, no, no. I learned it for that season. Like, they'll never do that again. He's just getting mad. That's me in college. I want to say they debunk that myth. Wow, dude. Look at you.
Starting point is 01:56:24 I want, hey, one of the schools I wanted to go to USC. Bad. Fuck, dude. USC, or LSU were like my three schools. I wanted a consolation prize, right? Yeah, yeah. No, it ended up working out,
Starting point is 01:56:34 and I'm happy I went to Michigan. But I went to an All-Star camp and met Pete Carroll. And I was crushing. And then they brought Pete Carroll over. USC was the spot. And the office of line coach called Pete Carroll over during one-on-ones.
Starting point is 01:56:47 And I was like, oh, fuck, it's about to happen. Because this kid named Kevin Graff actually got offered. And I was like, I might be the next one. Got dusted in two one-on-ones, rolled my ankle. And I was kind of on the ground. and I look up at Pete Carroll
Starting point is 01:56:59 and he looks over the old line coach and he goes and walked away get the fuck out of here dude that's me you saw him do that I saw him do that I either saw it or I dreamt it one of the two but it definitely felt real to me in that moment
Starting point is 01:57:11 that shitty dude because it's like you know they to have both been Trojans I know fuck dude yeah you would have loved to do and like two years after I was at Michigan that's when Will Ferrell was doing all his skits oh yeah Will Snoop and I heard that Pete
Starting point is 01:57:25 would bring all these celebs to practice because he was like He's like, it's the same thing when guys have, when there's pretty girls at there. Like, you just, nobody wants to fuck up. Yeah. So he was like, I'm going to bring all these like studs around. So the people like, try hard. I mean, not that they weren't anyway, but he was like, why don't we, we have the advantage of having.
Starting point is 01:57:40 And they want to be there. So why not make it as competitive as possible? Totally. No fucking doubt. And so did you, are you, what's your association with Seattle? Pete Carroll went there or you lived there? So I grew up there from, yeah, born raised. Because you said something about living in Arizona too and Glendale.
Starting point is 01:57:54 Yeah, I just went there for a couple summers with my dad. as well. That of my dad, that was where he moved around to. Gotcha. So grew up in Seattle, moved to L.A. The Fentina.
Starting point is 01:58:02 Yeah. And 2001 went to L.A. to go to college and then I've just been out there since. So graduate in 05, started standing up in 2007. And then, but Pete went to Seattle.
Starting point is 01:58:13 So that's why it was such a big, you know. I mean, a lot of S. Se people were bummed. They were like, he's slipping out the back door, fucking whatever.
Starting point is 01:58:21 You know, the timing was wild, but also he wanted a... Perfect move by now. You got to make those moves. I think, I don't want to say I don't think he knew what was going on, but I think, I mean, he's a fucking rock star of a human. So whether he knew or was like, I don't want to know. But the opportunity was, the timing makes it look bad because he wanted that type of a situation as far as like, you know, president and then like, you know, like where he could have a lot of say and control of the team.
Starting point is 01:58:53 He went to go somewhere where we could really run the show. And so how about that? He could go two hours north and it was awesome, dude. I mean, right away. And, you know, I went with Bert when he played a climate pledge of Seattle Arena. He hit me up and was like, do you want to come do Seattle? We're going to go to the Seahawks camp the day before. And it was unreal, dude.
Starting point is 01:59:13 And it's like we got to catch punts and talk to Pete. And this was about three months before he got fired because the season was almost halfway through. We were, I think, six and two or five and one. to start that year and then you know it just went south of that was a wrap but and uh i got to know john schneider of the seahawks gm that time and we he came to the show that night and we drank till 4 a m and then i got on a flight and went to do uh shows in savannah georgia with um my buddy sal from the jokers at like 6 a m and fucking leaving schneider and he's like just
Starting point is 01:59:46 crashing my house man which i have now done Snyder and now are now fucking boys and burr fucking put that together i'm gonna go speak to the team i think is dr phil in December and then um You know, he just, he just is a savvy fucking football guy and throws them back, dude. That is awesome. And so, we tour the whole thing and Dr. Gino and D.K.
Starting point is 02:00:06 And it was, it was awesome, man. And it was all, you know, Bert's generosity. But Pete was so cool, man. And he was, it was just wild to see him so in his element, like dancing around practice. And then you're like, dude,
Starting point is 02:00:18 and now, and then just gone. And then you realize he's 70. Like, he's so old. There's no signs of his age. But, uh, yeah, because he's out there. Rips it around too at practice. Rips it around.
Starting point is 02:00:27 I heard he was like he'd be in team meetings, like get the basketball hoop out and the basketball. I just have fun. And that's what's interesting about like his coaching style was now Mike McDonald is such a like militant. Like we have a job. Here's what you're doing. There's no.
Starting point is 02:00:40 I mean, I guess he's still keeping things light because he got to. But, but none of this shit anymore. You know, none of the basketball during meetings. Yeah. And you know,
Starting point is 02:00:47 it sucks because these guys that would like, you know, when Sherman started talking shit about Pete, you know, they didn't pay him. They let him go. And it was like, you know, fuck man you got paid twice maybe three times they drafted you deep you fucking they gave you full on opportunities like probably other organizations wouldn't have but i don't know i mean it just something um an approach like pete uh that he had i think obviously was uh was gonna run its toll
Starting point is 02:01:14 you know right i mean you tell me you're but also give the ball of marshawn lynch at the goal yeah dude bro that it's wild that dude i'll never i think time does heal a little bit, but like that'll be my, the Sonics, again, you're not big basketball guys, but the Sonics in 94 were the best team of basketball and Jordan was retired at the time. And we were like, number one seed in the West
Starting point is 02:01:41 and we were playing the eight seed Denver Nuggets. And then it was when Mutumbo RIP, fucking, I don't, famously, they beat us basically in the first round. And he was holding the ball and like clinching it on the ground screaming. And I fucking cried, dude. Because basketball was, my favorite sport at the time
Starting point is 02:01:57 when the song's left it fucking you know I forgot about it but uh yeah there it is right there that picture uh two two over yeah uh that middle yeah I mean it was that picture like we were just fucking like because we were supposed to go to the NBA finals Jordan was gone and we had the best team so Marshawn dude
Starting point is 02:02:12 I went to the Super Bowl with Brad with with little Brad Williams he's a Broncos fan our teams were pretty hot at the start of the season we were like if we go we got to go so we scheduled shows out there got tickets on stubbub went fucking it was unbelievable like At one point, you know, it was, I think, what, 22 to nothing, I think at half.
Starting point is 02:02:30 And Brad's like, dude, we're just, we're fine. We just got to get points. One score back into this. Percy runs it back. I have a picture of me. I'm not sure if I posted it, of me going like this because Brad's like fucking like looking out of the field. So sad.
Starting point is 02:02:41 And I start to take a picture of me going like, with Brad being sad. And I text it to him during the game because that was 29 nothing. And he goes, you know if a dwarf cries at the Super Bowl, everybody gets AIDS, right? And I was like, and it's just so funny. And then the next year I was like, our tickets are too expensive. They were wild. I think we ended up getting stuff up.
Starting point is 02:03:00 They dropped to like 1,200, I think. And for the AZ game, it was like no ticket went below, I don't know, six, seven, eight hotel. A holiday and express was like two grand a night. And so I went to Seattle, drove my dad up from Oregon where he was living and my buddy's condo. We were in like the main, the common room,
Starting point is 02:03:18 like, you know, two floors up. And about 50 people, big ass party. We were like, dude, I want to be in Seattle because I want to party in the street. when we win the Super Bowl. It was pretty confident. You never know, but like, we just felt fucking good, dude.
Starting point is 02:03:29 Legion and Boom. And we were injured as fuck, dude. As I've got to know some Hawks, like, dude, Sherman in that game against the Packers that we, I mean, how do you win that? Had, you know, a dislocated, I think elbow or hyper-extended elbow. Cam Chancellor had fucked up knees.
Starting point is 02:03:46 Earl Thomas had some rib shit. Jeremy Lane ends up breaking his arm after he picked Brady, like two plays later. So, like, we were depleted, dude. And, but then we're up 10. And then you're like, fuck, dude. And then that catch by curse, they do a cutaway to David Tyree against the Pats back in the day, which was like so, you know, awesome because you're like, oh, cool.
Starting point is 02:04:06 They're kind of being like, dude, the Pats just can't catch a break, man. Cool catch after cool catch. And I'm sitting there with my dad and again, 50 people in there. We're having a fucking amazing time. Everyone's being like, you know, I had to do this voiceover job the next morning. And I texted one of the producers. I was like, dude, is there any way we can push this session to one instead of 10? because I'm going to be out of my mind tonight.
Starting point is 02:04:26 Like, I'm going to be in the streets of my fucking hometown with my best buds and like wild, dude. And Marchon runs the ball up and gets stopped. And on my stomach, I'm not joking you, just fucking drops, dude. He gets stopped at the one and I was like, I go, oh. And my dad goes, what? I go, I don't know, man. I feel like we needed to get it on that one.
Starting point is 02:04:47 He goes, what does that mean? And I go, I don't know, man. But fuck, dude, because he was going, dude. and just tripped up, man. And it just was like one of those things where I didn't see that happening. But you know what I'm saying? We're just like, it felt like, fuck, we're just, we're stretching. We're continuing the opportunities for something to go wrong.
Starting point is 02:05:07 And look, even if you give it to him. Yeah, there it is, dude. I mean, tripped the fuck up. Right there. And whether you give it to him three times and you don't get it, a lot of people say, like, you still, you live with that. And here's the thing, dude, that play, they've done the, Russ, that was the worst past. dude you throw that shit low dude
Starting point is 02:05:24 right you throw that shit if we're talking about don't you know yeah you don't throw it high for sure you saw the Thursday night game last night yeah dude yeah dude I mean but but that is and again getting into some hawks and what they've told me about they go
Starting point is 02:05:40 that that ended it dude that broke the locker room dude it was Doug Baldwin told me he goes if we won that he goes we were so tight he goes we were so tight dude and you had all these guys I mean they'd only paid a few guys So many young D players on their rookie contracts, which is why we, you know, that's what the look of the draw, right?
Starting point is 02:05:58 You get these groups where you're like, fuck, dude, we got beasts for a while for free. And Doug was like, dude, we were all like, oh, if we win this, we're running it back. We're winning three. And he's like, there was no doubt in our mind. He's like, there's no doubt in our mind we were gonna win the Denver one.
Starting point is 02:06:12 And no one picked us. And that first snap, you know, goes over Peyton's head and then everybody goes nuts. And it was like, and even I saw so much orange in New York City. And then when that snap went over Peyton's head in New York against Denver. The whole stadium went nuts and we were like,
Starting point is 02:06:26 oh shit, like Seattle traveled for this. But he said that broke the locker room. And it was like, nobody trusted Pete and Russ and everyone. Like there was another one play. Yeah, dude, isn't that wild? That's crazy. Yeah. And they're just, you know, not doing your job.
Starting point is 02:06:42 Like everybody's like, dude, Marshaun, I think I saw him on some potty. He was like, he just wouldn't be able to do your job and help the team. And I was like, and you didn't let me do that. Like, you know, like that's what I was there for. literally one yard. You can just tell a part of them died. A part of him died that day. Oh, is that?
Starting point is 02:06:57 Oh, so, and just to just, I guess, you know, fill in the blanks on how sad that was. Because every Seattle sports fan has their own version of like, you know, and like, now you can talk about it, whatever, but like without crying. I mean, I'll cry when I get off the bus for sure, but all 50 people that were in this room, bro, I had friends I hadn't seen in probably eight years,
Starting point is 02:07:17 good friends. How good are they? You haven't seen them in eight years, but, you know, we talk a lot. didn't even say goodbye. Just fucking everybody left. I'm not even joking. One of my best friends that said oh up.
Starting point is 02:07:29 You know, I wasn't going to see him for another four or five months. No turning around like, dude. What the fuck? I'll call you later. None of that. Just he pieced out. I turned around at one point. He was just gone.
Starting point is 02:07:41 And then I look over my dad and he's like, he was just like, he was like, he looked so, he was just like so much guilt. I was just like, you feel bad for cheating on mom? He's like, no. the game. I was like, oh, sorry, okay. But it was a similar type of like, I can't believe. I've never seen a grown man so bewildered. And I don't use that word too often. You know what I'm saying? Because he was just like, you couldn't believe it. And the split second, that's why sports are awesome. I don't get how people don't like sports. Yeah. But you got to take the good and the bad.
Starting point is 02:08:12 And here's the thing. It's like, that was such a, I was in Seattle the next day in sports radio. And it was a dark gloomy day, dude. And it was like sports radio. It was sad, dude. And I Whistring over the radio. Everywhere I went like a coffee shop, a fucking brothel, a KFC Taco Bell combo combo glory hole. Like everywhere I went, everyone was just like,
Starting point is 02:08:32 bumming, dude. Is that wild? That's fucking crazy. That's sports. Yeah, it is. That's what it is. Do you have an equivalent in any career?
Starting point is 02:08:42 I mean, we got destroyed in the Big Ten championship against Wisconsin. I mean, we got destroyed. They hung up, they hung over 70 on us, three different running backs ran for like 200 yards it was like melvin gordon james white money ball i was that was our senior year we
Starting point is 02:08:58 had seven fourth quarter comebacks that year we were 10 and two going into that game and ohio state was banned that year for the tattoo stuff i want to say Penn state they were in trouble that year this pre-dusky this was like yeah no this was when it was happening we played this we played that that week that the sand dusky stuff all came out we went to pen state and played but wisconsin was like the third team in that division. And we beat them earlier in that season. They hung 70 on us, bro. And that was like, yeah, you were.
Starting point is 02:09:30 What was at that game? Bro, that's like demoralizing. Yeah, we were, yeah, we got killed. Look at that. 42 in the first half. Yeah, you're getting beat. 42 to 10 in the, at halftime. It's like, what do you even say in the locker room?
Starting point is 02:09:42 I mean, that's not insurmountable, but it's, it's, it's, I mean, you guys tell me. I mean, I, no, 42 to 10, you know the game's over. You ask what kind of memory takes you to, a spot like that like I think of that game. So I only played football up until sophomore or high school. I was offensive and defensive line. And, you know, so we got to, I got to play
Starting point is 02:10:01 a few, you know, JV, but like, and we suited up freshman for a varsity game that they like, you know, destroyed. So we went in at the end just to fucking, you know, get some reps. But definitely always got to suit up and go to the games and was, you know, on the sidelines for a game where they got blown out and like, yeah, it felt like people
Starting point is 02:10:19 were, you know. That was not, you know, what anybody anticipated. But, like, to 70 is... Yeah. We played Ohio State 2013, I believe it was. And I think the final score was like 42, 43 or 42, 41. And we had the ball last. And our head coach, Brady Hook, goes, hey, when we score, we're going for two,
Starting point is 02:10:39 we're ending this game. So we go down and we score and we went for two. And our quarterback threw it right to the defense and it was over. Brutal. What the fuck, dude. I know. That was one of those like straight back to the house. Case of Ham's Light.
Starting point is 02:10:54 Just pound them as fast as you possibly can. A full Papa John's pizza. Numb the pain. Yeah. Eat emotionally. It's a horrible feeling. Close the blinds. Yeah, there was a big fist fight that game too.
Starting point is 02:11:04 One of a high state guy got ejected. How close is the football locker room, uh, on a hole? Like, does everybody, is it clicky, like anything or? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It just kind of depends on what kind of team you have. It's definitely. What kind of year you're having?
Starting point is 02:11:16 College has over 100 people on that football team. Yeah. 100 players. So there's no way you know everybody No, you know everyone But it's like There's definitely like tears Like people that's high school
Starting point is 02:11:27 Quarterback offense line I mean like right like Yeah like the office line always The office line Traditionally is like the best group of guys to be around They're the most humble They hang out like they're more down to earth cats It's great to be around
Starting point is 02:11:40 But you do have these pockets everywhere And you're just hoping for a Will Compton Like a gatekeeper To kind of bring everybody together A Ben Jones who is our center for the Titans Yeah He is like, those are the guys you want around because then he just like brings you from each click to each click
Starting point is 02:11:54 and kind of brings the team together. Let's go. It's a nice little deal. I'm going to the Titans game on Sunday. Yeah? Yeah. Never been to stay. How do you feel about it?
Starting point is 02:12:00 Colts? Um, I mean, I haven't been following either. I mean, Flacco. You could see Flacco alive. That's kind of sling in it. That's like seeing Jordan on the Wizards. He just threw for 350 and three touchdowns. I know, but they lost, right?
Starting point is 02:12:12 Yeah. Either way. It's like Flachos of the Giants. What's that? They lost of the Giants? No, they lost of the Jags. Colts lost to the Jags. But Flacco, man, doesn't get enough credit.
Starting point is 02:12:22 Doesn't. Does not. Win the Super Bowl with the Ravens, right? Yeah, with the Ravens. Speaking of the Ravens, that's obviously, you know Stavros. Oh, yeah. Dude, his clips on the Ravens. Every game.

Starting point is 02:12:43 Oh, yeah, you have to. These hilarious videos. I know, it's a big sports guy. It's awesome. Some about Joe Flacko. So you know what about Joe? I love that Lamar can run the ball, but something about a pocket pass. Yeah, Ravens just won in overtime.
Starting point is 02:12:54 And Flacco had a good game, so he was still referring to like Joe Flacco through for 350. Yeah. Because the Ravens and the Bengals last week went to overtime. Yeah. It was a great game. I remember. Five touchdowns.
Starting point is 02:13:05 And at the end, Stavis is like murdering the Bengals. Who day? Oh, who day's one and four. Yeah. Just going off on them. Ravens needed that W, by the way. That's funny, dude. Super funny.

Starting point is 02:15:40 Oh, they're like a million subscribers before like a hundred episodes. Oh, yeah. And Bobby, and they both had kind of, significant followings and then just mashing them together was Bobby on Mad TV back in the day. It's unbelievable. Unreal. He does not get enough credit for that. It's so long ago and he's now like in this new phase of his career.
Starting point is 02:15:59 But right and he still gets love from that. I think people still, they're still fans. Yeah, totally. But yeah, he was a brilliant sketch actor, dude. Yeah, him, Will Sassow. Unreal. Was it Mike McDonald? Was that his name, too?

Not at all. We're obviously big into sports and stuff like that,
Starting point is 02:17:49 but just talking to comics in general, like you start in the show and just talking about flexing the creative muscle, your creativity, the way you're getting all that stuff, like all that's fascinating. Yeah. So it's awesome to hear those types of things.
Starting point is 02:17:59 Yeah. It's, uh, who's this guy? William Montgomery. William Montgomery. He's always on Tony. Yeah. Yeah. What's he like in person?
Starting point is 02:18:07 Is he pretty much just what he is on stage? Yeah. I mean, he's pretty, he's pretty mellow off stage, actually. Yeah, He's kind of, yeah, he's pretty mellow. Who's the cat that's always pacing? It's a heightened character, I think, for the stage, for sure.
Starting point is 02:18:21 But he's a pretty, he's a pretty sweet guy. Say it again? Who's the guy that's always pacing around and he rambles the entire time on Kill Tony? Oh, Casey Rockett. Casey Rockett? Yeah. What's his gig? Is he the same guy off?
Starting point is 02:18:33 No, pretty chill. I mean, a little, I mean, every, this is the thing, man. It's like people like, you know, young, it's like, you just want to find, finding, having a thing on stage, you know, and finding your voices such. It just does take time, but that is a version of who they are for sure. I mean, but not everybody is, you know, I mean, I would hear that Robin Williams was that way on and offstage, you know, who was fucking my guy growing up for sure. But yeah, Cam's a Beast. What do you guys consume, I guess?
Starting point is 02:19:06 Or when you were playing, like what was like the, because, you know, getting to know a bunch of athletes now, it's wild how many, when I was in Minnesota, a bunch of the Vikings. came out because they were all Keltoni fans or fan of my Phil shit and so I'm like oh yeah we watch it all the time during like what and I'm like so what's your like what would you guys watch
Starting point is 02:19:23 during I don't know bus trips or flights or whatever comedy wise what would you get down to? Film bro I just always in the lab the season is a wild deal it's hard
Starting point is 02:19:36 you have no downtime huh well there's like there's downtime but there's always like this delusion in you that's like how can I just be 1% better always or in my free time I'd be like, we had a Madden League going on in the locker room.
Starting point is 02:19:47 Cool. So we'd just be playing video games. We always on bait on Nintendo 64. It's got to decompress somehow, right? Yeah. That was always like, we were actually talking about streaming today, and it's like my, like, game, I don't know if you're a gamer at all. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:19:59 Like, I was big into N64, and then really after that, it kind of shut down. I dipped in my toe in Halo a little bit and other games, but like, that was, we actually brought that back, 2018 when Will came to the Titans. Oh, yeah. We had the N64 hooked up in between every, between practicing. in meetings. It was like, just as fast as possible.
Starting point is 02:20:16 Right. Let's go. Play as many games as you can. That was definitely our big thing. Yeah. Did you guys bond right away when you met? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:20:22 Yeah. I think like, that's where you met. Yeah. On the Titans? Yeah, there was a, we played against each other in college.
Starting point is 02:20:27 Yeah. And then when you were at the Redskins, we played my, my second year, your third year, 2015? No, that was my, it was my second year.
Starting point is 02:20:35 Okay. Because by the time we crossed paths on the Titans, like, that was my second start. Got you. But when you played against each other, you didn't like, game.
Starting point is 02:20:44 Oh, it'd be like, hey, good to see you out here. Like, a couple white boys are surviving. Right. And you always remember a white guy named Compton. Like, you always remember that. Always remember. Anytime you kind of go past. But when he, when Will was a free agent, he came to the Titans, there was either a tweet
Starting point is 02:20:57 or an article. I can't remember. I always say article, but I might be wrong. That was like, based on Will Compton's social media and Taylor just in the media and the antics he does, like, they're going to be best friends. Whoa. And then I saw Taylor get a little gay cup of coffee and then we bonded over. Yeah, hazel nut.
Starting point is 02:21:11 I got a hazelnut coffee. And I was like, you drink flavor. coffee. And I was so defeated. I poured it out right there. I was just trying to make such a good first impression. You're going to hate when you see you. I flavored Lucy's.
Starting point is 02:21:20 Too soon. Wait, that's cool that the media basically announced your, you know, friendship before you found it. Yeah. And then, yeah, OTP is the first podcast we did was the official Titans podcast. They were just kind of starting it and they wanted me on. I was like, I'm bringing Will.
Starting point is 02:21:37 It was like, what, a weekend of knowing each other? Yeah. So we just got on the team. Cool. We would have this thing called breakfast club. There you guys are. There is a shot of you guys, the first podcast. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 02:21:44 We'd have a thing called Breakfast Club would be me, Will, and Mike Campanaro. And Mike was also new to the Titans. And they were all laughing about someone. And I was like, hey, I want to laugh. What are we talking about? And we would just talk about podcasts, like, congratulations, Theo Vons, Rogan. Yeah, I'm a big fan of you guys, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:22:01 My principal was a raccoon now. That's my feel. That's your theory. Yeah, yeah. What are unique individual, by the way? Bro. There's any brain. Another guy I've known since I started comedy, since he started.
Starting point is 02:22:12 And always so, always so funny. same guy I mean he's definitely become more of a character I mean he just he's he's just leaned heavy into but it's who he is right and like when he says wild she like that like man he and I he'll never forget this we talked about this last of my song where we were in San Diego at the La Jolla comedy store together and we were at breakfast he and myself in a comedian Francisco Ramos and and some the waiter came by and was being kind of a dick
Starting point is 02:22:43 and Theo was like, man, we got a, we got a classic Dick Breakfast over here. And when we all started laughing, I go, Dick Breakfast, dude, great name for like a fucking, like, you know, detective from like the 80s to just whatever. And then we just start riffing and rant on this guy's story. And then for about two months, we outlined a movie about Dick Breakfast. No shit. It's out there somewhere. I mean, in our emails, but like, we were all about it. And then he, you know, and, but, you know, no surprise, dude.
Starting point is 02:23:10 And again, nice guy to everybody. and arguably get some of the I mean bad friends are getting some pretty cool podcasts you know with Jack Black and MGK and stuff but like Theo goes from Papa John to fucking Bernie Sanders Oh bro yeah wild To um uh you know It's becoming like that Rogan-esque style where he's getting
Starting point is 02:23:31 These massive names just doing it his way Talking to Trump about cocaine right like that broke the internet for a day and a half Funny dude yeah You brought up a little guest on bad friends MGK You a fan? Oh, yeah. A huge fan of him. That's my genre of music.

He's trying, that's somebody he's trying to help get me on the Phil show because he said, getting on bad friends was even kind of a, you know, a big ass because he's, I don't want to say he's not, he said he wasn't like shy, but he just, you know, hasn't done a lot of that stuff. You're talking about MGK. Jellyroll trying to get MGK on. Yes, yes. Interesting.
Starting point is 02:24:08 And my wife is obsessed. And I'm just like, yeah. But he's saying that because jelly We're trying to get MGK on the bus too But jelly roll is a prime example Of just being kind and just being absolutely 100% It's like again dude
Starting point is 02:24:24 And again you go it's not It's not tough to fucking be like when people go I can't believe you do all this shit And you're so like You know like he's so nice Like yeah dude because he was that way before And he's just now like yeah I get to do more shit
Starting point is 02:24:38 And you know And then you have more people to help you balance it out but like he treats everybody so kind all his staff and everybody and we went to uh i was in austin i was wanted to the last kill tony and then uh had to go to Atlanta on a Thursday and he was in san antonio on wednesday so went down uh to see a show i never seen his live show just rips and we're back thereafter smoking dabs which i have done maybe twice and i am i mean bro it was like i wish i had the video to pull up but it was like you know i'm good with weed dabs are fucking and he's just hitting him like it's breakfast, dude.
Starting point is 02:25:11 Like it's breakfast. Yeah, and just not even affecting him. Like, I mean, uh, but, you know, great pipes. His new album drops in, uh, I think like a week or so. It drops on Friday. Yeah, this week. So if you're listening to this episode now, Jilly Rolls album is out right now. Oh, go get it.
Starting point is 02:25:26 He sent me a sneak peek. It's fire. There you go. Oh, it's unbelievable, dude. Yeah. He is, dude, he is one of a kind. He is all time. I had a couple of high school buddies that I got, I asked him for tickets to their show.
Starting point is 02:25:38 And he hooked it up. Like not just, I was like, bro, you can get him. Nosebley. Yeah, yeah. Like, you can get him something on the outside, like just a couple tickets. Bro. He hooks them all up, gets them backstage. They're smoking with them.
Starting point is 02:25:50 And my boys are so hype. Like, bro. Jelly Rolls is the coolest dude of all time. And I'm just thinking to myself, like, he really is. Is there anything the nicest dude? Made you look so fucking code to your buds. I can't believe it. Is there anything more uncomfortable than hit one of your boys up about your, like,
Starting point is 02:26:03 boys from back home be like, hey, could they get tickets to X, I feel like every time you have to ask for it's uncomfortable. Well, I have friends that. have, I got certain friends on like, dude, that will still pay. And then I get mad and I go, dude, I told you you've got, and they've gotten free tickets from the whole time I've ever, but, you know, 17 years or, you know, I guess 11 years of headlining, but never paid. And then I've got friends who have fucking, they've just always been like, no, man, I'm
Starting point is 02:26:30 support, man. This is all your shit. And my good friends. And I can't stop them because they buy them before. Because I'm usually like a couple days out being like, oh, you're going to come? And they're like, all right, got tickets. And I'm like, you got to stop doing that. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:26:43 You know? Because I fucking, it's... Or they don't talk to you at all and you just see them in the crowd. Well, yeah, totally. Yeah. Yeah, that'll happen to. But then there's people that like, I mean... And I have a... You know, if it's a deep cut from high school or somebody I haven't talked to and they send a nice message
Starting point is 02:26:56 and they're like, you know, we want to come see you. And, you know, now I guess with like, you know, with the show's being sold this weekend, I just ran to some people at the airport and they were like, oh, man, I can't believe we was fucking see here, man. And we're either going to come see you or see... this band on Thursday and I go I'll make it easy for you. The show sold out. And they're like, fuck. And I was like, but I'll get you tickets if you want
Starting point is 02:27:16 to go, you know, because you always got a few comps, you know, that they can squeeze in. And so they're going to come to the show. But friends that are like deep cut that I haven't talked to, getting them to my show, I'm usually always pretty much happy to oblige. But, you know, there's a buddy of mine that's in, do you know who the new kids on the block are?
Starting point is 02:27:35 Yeah, they're a boy band from the 90s. They kind of started the boy band, you know, I guess you could go back to the beat but they were in the 90s like the first fucking, you know, uh, teen Bob dolls fucking, yeah, dude, I mean, these guys, uh, they paved the way for in sync, Bashree Boys, all that shit in the 90s and, um, all from Boston. Donnie Wahlberg, that's Mark Wahlberg's brother on the far, uh, second from the left. And my buddy, Joy McIntyre who's in the, uh, to the right of the guy in the blue was in this movie, The Heat with me with the Santa Bullke and Wilson McCarthy.
Starting point is 02:28:04 And so I got to know him real well. And so all girls that are like in their 30s and 40s are obsessed with these guys because they were kids. Right. when they came up, you know. And so, uh, uh, once I started kind of doing stuff with them and then I'd open for them on some shows and then like, then their fans were just rabid, would kind of jump on you. And then Joey did a curb style show where I played his manager.
Starting point is 02:28:24 And, uh, and so then when people knew I was friends with them, I'd have all these buddies of mine hitting me up for tickets for their wives. And people that like, I, not even like haven't talked to you in 10 years. We were, I met, we were never, we just, we were at school together, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. better just like but then they hit with like a long like dude congrats on everything man you're really going forward to dude I always knew you would I'm like I think you called me a like the F homophobic slur for an
Starting point is 02:28:49 with an F when I quit football to play Danny Zucco in Greece but like good to hear from you Josh you know and uh yeah there it is so sophomore year high school I was gonna star varsity as a sophomore was sophomore captain because the nice flex I'm just trying to fill out the story for you yeah it's what it is solid but I well I was fucking lived I was doing all the shit and I was and football was fun but it was not I knew I was not at 6-1 and a Jew gonna go pro and I and so but so and then the play came along and I was like oh that always was fun and basketball was kind of my more sport anyway and but the offensive lineman above me got injured so the coach is like dude your sophomore captain and
Starting point is 02:29:24 you're starting varsity because you're fucking and I was just like anything man I just was all in you know all the camps and the fucking wait I was just all in for football and uh because you don't want a half-ass it and and then I had to go in and tell him basically I was like I think I'm gonna quit and do the play because the plays were a big deal in our community always went for field trips as a kid and it just seemed like fun and I just like really wanted to do it and I never and the guy who was directing it was like you know we're doing Greece and I think you would be a great Danny. I can't say you're going to get it but like and it was the lead in the play and I'd done the play the year prior and it was just kind of a random ensemble part and the only the guy was running up against was this Korean dude named Danny Park and I'm like not that Danny Zuko you know Travolta couldn't be a Korean guy but you know I feel like I got a pretty good shot and so uh and so I went in and told the coach I go my mom's like you got to just tell him and uh She goes, what do you want to do? I go, well, if I feel like I played football, I'd be playing to please the coach and not because I want to, well, there's your answer.
Starting point is 02:30:16 Like, you know, you shouldn't do anything to because you don't want, like, to make somebody else happy. This is your life. And sound single mom advice. And then I go in there and I go, coach, I try to make a joke. I'm not going to be able to play football this year because, yeah, I can't memorize the playbook. I got to memorize the lyrics to grease lightning.
Starting point is 02:30:31 And he goes, get the fuck out of my office. And I go, cool, great talk. Thanks a lot, man. And he goes, come back in two weeks and tell me the right answer. And so I sit on it for two weeks. It doesn't even let me out on that. And I fucking go back and forth and finally go in and tell him
Starting point is 02:30:42 and then he just fucking didn't say anything. I was like kind of like fucking like awkwardly roboted out of his fucking office or whatever. And then he ended up coming to the Sunday matinee with his kids. I'm in full fucking makeup and the load jacket and he was like, you didn't suck. Pretty good.
Starting point is 02:30:57 Yeah. I was like, the best help me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where like girls. Good luck on Friday. God, nothing worse than telling a coach no. Bro, it totally. And he was a basketball coach too,
Starting point is 02:31:06 which I still then played. So then he would give it to me Like, if I fucked up a play, he'd be like, sorry, I don't have a script for this fucking play, Adam Ray. You know, like, let's go, Suko, you fucking, you know, I do everything, you know. But, you know, I take it. But, but what was I saying to that? What were talking about before that?
Starting point is 02:31:25 Short-term memory, you have stuff smoking weed. It's gone. Fuck, dude. That's the moment. You're out. You're out. That's done. What else you guys got up there?
Starting point is 02:31:34 Are these all the questions? Tear talk. Do you feel like you're more of a best, should we go best, Halloween decorations, best pies, best soups. Tear talk is this. Best soup is great. Okay, best soups. Well, no, real quick, I want to do a traveling reality show of the buddy of mine,
Starting point is 02:31:47 finding the best soups in America, almost like a, what do we call it, soup chasers, almost like tornado chasers, but because there's a list, there's a website we found with like the top 50 soups at the places. And we basically going around to find those things. We don't know, we have like six different versions of the show. If it's a competition thing where you take people like the people with the best chowder, the best tomato bis, the best lobster bis, and put them against each other. or if you're just, it's a travel show
Starting point is 02:32:09 and you go to the place where the people have, you know, like a man versus food thing. They have this challenge. You go to the people where they have the best fucking minestrone. And you go there, you see how they make it. And then you tour the town. Maybe you set up a stand-up show there at the end of the episode.
Starting point is 02:32:21 Whatever. Favorite soup? Got to be my mom's matzabal. Hold on, hold on. Okay. There's some parameters on this now. Yeah, this is Tier Talk. This is a whole section here.
Starting point is 02:32:30 So you're going to start at three. If you have more than three and you want to give an honorable mention, you're more than welcome to. If you're a start at three, paint us a picture. of why you love that soup, that dish, then go two, and then obviously the last one will be your number one.
Starting point is 02:32:44 Make it suspenseful, though, and you don't have to go first. Well, please. No. I'll go first. Taylor. I'll go first. Huh? To what?
Starting point is 02:32:55 To list the soup. Now here's a question real quick. Thanks, Sherm. Does chili and chowder count a soup? Chili is a, ooh, chowder is a soup. Okay. That's all I really use. Chili's not a soup.
Starting point is 02:33:06 Okay. Then maybe I'm not ready. Because chili was going to be in there You know what? To me it's not a soup Because the consistency is too thick But no but it is It does have soupy qualities
Starting point is 02:33:18 Yeah it's soupy Soup-ske I'll give it to you It's your show It's your bus All right so let's just take a moment So I can just think for a second Whether chili is a soupies
Starting point is 02:33:29 Is it better Okay Okay Um Take your time Sound it out Go ahead Go ahead
Starting point is 02:33:40 All right We should take a few minutes. My tier three is going to be chili. And I know how it has to do with consistency based on what Shirm just put up on the Google there. But chili is one of those things that if it's at a backyard barbecue, it just amplifies everything. Takes everything up and notch. It takes everything up and notch. Now that stale bread, those stale even hot dog buns now have a taste.
Starting point is 02:34:10 You're going to take one of those buns. You're going to dip it in that chili. You're going to really truly enjoy it. So many different varieties and ways to make it. I like my chili spicy. I like my nose to run a little bit with my chili. Wow. That's how I like my chili.
Starting point is 02:34:22 My tier two is going to be lobster bisque. There's a place called the chop house in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It has the best lobster bisque I've ever had in my life. It has a caramel, a caramel scent to it, a caramel touch to it. Wow. You're like, am I having dessert before my entree? Wow. And really you're just having some lobster bisque.
Starting point is 02:34:42 It's incredible. My tier one, my God tier is clam chowder. I think clam chowder There's my nickname in middle school. There's so many ways to eat clam chowder. You can have it with just salt and pepper. You can throw some Nabasco sauce in there.
Starting point is 02:34:57 If you want. If you're crazy, put some crackers in there, have a little bit of texture. Hey, you know, what's even more wild? You can even have a bread bowl. And the bread bowl has some clam chowder in there. Best clam chowder ever had in my life also was in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Wow.
Starting point is 02:35:09 Second place, San Francisco. but at the hotel we used to stay at it's now called the graduate it uh they had a clam chatter they had a recipe for like 50 years that only the football players could have and they would have pictures a friday nights before games and we had one guy elliott meler who's an aspiring comedian actually he would just only eat the chowder for his pre like pregame meal or his night before meal and it was that good and that is my two talk wow dude how amazing is that the bread bowl is phenomenal. Game fucking changer. Yeah, dude. It really is. And you can't put any soup in a bread bowl. Huh? And I've always said that. You can't put a soup in a bread bowl? You can't put any soup in a bread bowl? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes. Yeah, it's like a tomato. All right, I'll give you my tears. It's a beef and cheddar. Hold on. So once tear talk is over, we all go around the room and everyone gives one word to describe how they feel about the other individuals to your talk. Oh, great. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. All right. Jack? Jack. Adam, we're going to end with you. Warm.
Starting point is 02:36:11 Great. Hey. Soupy. That was a special breakdown, dude. That was, I now want to have that lobster bisque. It's incredible. You're saying the caramel touch on top. Carmel touch.
Starting point is 02:36:38 There's a... Carmel note. Carmel note. Ooh. What do you think you're more prestigious about? Your soups or your wines? By far, my son. soups. I'm not a wine guy.
Starting point is 02:36:48 Well, not with that attitude. No, not at all. Been to Napa. I've done it. It's not, I'm not for you. You're not, you're not this guy. No. You're not to, it's got some wheat thins. I like to play that game for a moment, but truly the taste of wine to me does nothing for me. No, you're a hard A guy? Hard alcohol, yeah. If I was, yeah, yeah, yeah, tequila is my number one.

Starting point is 02:37:37 Right above, dude. That's a good part of the woods. She's actually mentioned Washington is a place that we might live someday. And I said there's no chance because I would just live in Colona, have a part-time place there. Yeah. Do you guys love it here? Yeah. Yeah.

The last two days has been like 74, 75. And that is something that you're like, bro. It juices you the fuck up. And then November you'll get like 50s, 40s.
Starting point is 02:38:13 Yeah. But not crazy. No, your winters get a little wild. No, not here. You'll get like a three-week cold snap or it's just insane. The whole town shuts down because there's two inches of snow.
Starting point is 02:38:22 That's fine. That's also awesome. Yeah. It's a fun time. I hate the snow. I will say that. I'll stand ten toes on that. But you love hazelnut coffee.
Starting point is 02:38:32 It was a mistake. I made a mistake. I thought you said you were a mistake. I was. Let's talk about it because everyone's made a mistake. Only some have been a mistake. Okay. And I talk about that in my book,
Starting point is 02:38:44 Chapter 5, still have a dream. All right. Let's go French onion soup. I was in Prague. Nice. I went to Prague. I was studying abroad in London.
Starting point is 02:38:58 My mom came out. We went to like Poland. We visited the concentration camp. So I was like, fucking, what a... Can we go to a museum and said? It was wild. But we went to this restaurant and Martha Stewart tried to buy their French onion soup recipe.
Starting point is 02:39:13 And that was... They were like hard pass. a dick but we're gonna tell people that you tried to do that and they put it on the menu and like they tell you and you're looking and you're like what the fuck and the guy's like yep and they told me that exact story and I'm like well then I fucking gotta have it and it was unreal dude had that perfect layer of caked cheese just fucking hovering above right you push the spoon through breaks right immediately dude uh the first by appropriately piping hot not burning your tongue right uh some people were like, dude, I want the soup to fucking burn off my, burn the herbs off. No, man, I want it to
Starting point is 02:39:49 just kind of soothe, like, just immediately make me feel comfy about where I am in my life. And that's what that first bite of French onion soup did. And then Martha Stewart comes out the back and gives you a little back rub. And then she's like, psych, I actually work here, bitch. And then I don't do it, Martha. And so, so that's my, that's my top, that's my, that's my, that's my bottom. That's my top. Tier three. Tier three. Dude, the chowder bread bowl is a I remember What was University of Washington

Starting point is 02:41:13 It's just fucking, I should have brought you guys some shit. Actually, if you're around, I'll send you guys some shit. But he, my buddy, Jaliel White, who played Urkel, his wife is tied to the Chargers. And so he was at the wedding and we just started shooting the shit. And I was like, he gave an impromptu speech where he was kind of like, you got to fucking grab marriage by the balls and fucking go. And was so funny. And I went out to him. I was like, bro, that was unbelievable.
Starting point is 02:41:40 He's like, oh, thanks, man. And he was just a big kid. And so intense. And I go, I go, dude, I go, you know, I'm just, you know, I'm giving you just the comedic praise. And he's like, oh, you're a comedian? I go, oh, yeah, yeah. But that's what I'm saying. I was watching through the eyes of a professional funny.
Starting point is 02:41:56 And, you ripped it. And then we started chatting. And he's like, oh, I love to come to a show. And so then we start texting. And I was like, hey, man, before he come to a regular stand-up show, which you can see any time, I got these Phil shows that, like, would really. And so he came with the offensive coordinator for the great. He used to be at the Ravens.
Starting point is 02:42:12 Roman? Yeah. And they brought their wives and he had a fucking blast dude. That's awesome. And I was going to call him up and do something with him, but I was like, you know, let him enjoy the show. But I went to that game because I met the trainer for the UW Huskies a few years back. And my best friend was going to the game and couldn't get tickets. They, like, waited too long.
Starting point is 02:42:32 And I hit up this trainer. I was like, bro, do you have any way to, I was basically on the sidelines for a Seahawks game with Schneider. The trainer comes up and goes, we'll be right back? This guy named Ashwin, I go, what's up, man? He was like, oh, I love the field stuff, man. I was like, what do you docks? And now you dubbed for the last 25, 30 years. I go, get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 02:42:49 He starts telling me unbelievable stories. That's why I tell you when I knew about the Hawks being injured for that Super Bowl. He went down the list. I was like, man, white suit. I go, when you were there in AZ, I immediately went to that. It was like, what was it like from your vantage point? He was like, oh, God, he's like, let's talk about your parents' divorce next, you know? And then as my mom, stepdad and Derte on the right, never smiles.
Starting point is 02:43:08 Dude, just fucking one smile, dude, the amount of cool shit I've fucking given you. Just fucking one smile, dude. Just break the fucking... Give me one dimple, you fucking ungrateful piece of shit. No, I love him, dude. And so... And so he gets us tickets to the fucking championship game. Let me just say this, dude.
Starting point is 02:43:25 First of all, college football fan, yeah, growing up, went to UW games all the time in high school, went to SC, obviously, like, wild. And for about five, six years after, was stuck in college football. And never really a loose pro fan. And then, you know, he came up to... to Seattle and it was like that kind of got me reinvested. The home grew in Seahawks I was all about, you know, when we lost the Super Bowl in, what, 23rd, no, 205 to the Steelers on some bullshit calls.
Starting point is 02:43:53 But I just lost my college fandom because the pro, I just went like all pro, you know. But the national championship was wild. I've never seen a sporting event like that in my entire life. It was at the, with the super, no, the Houston dome. whatever that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100 plus thousand. Loud the whole time.

Starting point is 02:44:26 But you double was there for a reason, man. That was a trying time for bustling with the boys. Because that was, Will and I were kind of enemies at that point. We did a stream and Will only wanted Michigan to lose. No, why? Bad friend. Bad friend. Bad friend and I was being a little nasty about.

Oh, I didn't know we got that. Well, I told you I said it out loud. I'd love to give a shout out to Emilio Estevez for his rolled Mighty Ducks 2 and 3.
Starting point is 02:49:54 Honorable mention. If we're going to fucking give out some free shoutouts, let me know, dude. My tier three is broccoli cheddar soup. Ooh! Specifically from pot bellies. Had it over the weekend. Very good, dippable soup. I'm a big dip guy.
Starting point is 02:50:11 My tier two is going to be a creamy, dreamy lobster bisque. You have all the perfect words for it. My tier one, near and dear to my heart, is chili. Chili is one of my favorite meals because I love dipping peanut butter sandwiches in chili. Do you really? Yeah. Dude. Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Starting point is 02:50:30 Are you setting me up right now? Are you being fucking serious? If I was a guest, can I keep telling my story? Yeah. So, yeah, no, I'm not sending you up. My mom, another soup, tomato soup she'd make and fucking P.B. and J's, dude. all day. I would come home from football practice and either slam, do when your metabolism is just through the roof, right?
Starting point is 02:50:46 I'd slam either seven double-deckers, right, from a two-a-day summer practice, right? So you've just, you've burned everything, you know, and puked everything, seven double-deckers or two PB and J's, so four, and dip them all in the soups. And, dude, I mean, I'm salivating and thinking of it. I'm doing it for, yeah, I'm doing a shirm right now, dude. I'm getting so excited just thinking about dipping, dude, dude, I knew we were homies. Dipping the soup is the move. Yes, you have to.
Starting point is 02:51:09 And broccoli cheddar might be the best for that. Yeah. I do love it. Try dip in a peanut butter sandwich and chili. You will really like what you taste. Don't tell me to live my life, but I'll think about it. Yeah, yeah. You will really like what you taste.
Starting point is 02:51:21 Okay. Big Missouri thing. Every Thursday in the cafeteria would be chili day and you'd have a peanut butter sandwiches. Wow, dude. Mix with some honey. The peanut butter mixed with some honey. I'm always there for that. Incredible.
Starting point is 02:51:30 Wow. Mouth of salivating. Let me ask you this. Is this tier thing? This is a thing you do. Yeah. But the soup, but soup, we just, we stumbled on that. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:51:38 Or was that a pre-planed? It was just like, hey, these are the three options. So this is going to get me back to my thing about the soup show, which, you know, again, there's not enough time of the day for me to, like, do everything I want to do. But it is definitely like if you were to come to me and go, hey, we got all this money. What do you want to make right now, like show-wise? That would be in the top three of things that I've got, like the soup chaser show. And listen to this conversation.
Starting point is 02:52:00 We got to get you to Bontere, Missouri for the chili and peanut butter. I just throwing it out there. No bad idea. We'll do that. But just the fact that this is giving me even more juice to the idea because. because of the fact that like, we're all taking our time with this. And it's like everyone has a soup connection.
Starting point is 02:52:14 People love soup. And it's, everyone's had it. Everyone loves it. You're doing the VO for the show. It's a big drone shot of fucking the States. And we cut it on Taylor and he just goes, and he rips his stash off and goes,
Starting point is 02:52:25 people love soup. Boom. And then it goes to an action pack sequence if you guys dip in peanut bread or peanut sandwiches in Chile. We're dipping whatever. We're fucking popping loosey. Yeah, dude. Pants stains.
Starting point is 02:52:35 Yes. People are just getting excited. You know what they do in Nebraska? Cinnamon rolls in chili. Well, that makes no sense to anybody. Makes none. But for your show, like, chasing around, you want to pick in the right spots.

Twisted tea feels fun and celebrates extreme fandom on game day. It is the perfect alcohol slash beverage for game day, whether tailgating in a parking lot, watching at a bar or watching with friends at home. Twisted tea is there to turn up your game day.
Starting point is 02:58:45 Keep it, Twisted, grab a refreshing twisted tea today. Maybe you're going to go out to the last night. the voting booth. You're going to go vote for America. You want to go, you want to pick a prize. You got Kamala Harris. I'm working at a McDonald's and I was at the first McDonald's. I went to every McDonald's. You weren't there, bitch.
Starting point is 02:59:04 That's because she was at home drinking a twisted tree. Twisted tea. I twisted me. I twisted me. I'm a pretzel. Twist me up. Put me to Fort Locco. Put down the four logo. Pick up a twisted tea. Twist me up. Do the macarena. Hokey-pokey. Say your own name when you come. The twist the T.
Starting point is 02:59:19 Your dad might have left, but they'll be there for you. All right. They'll love that. Sherm. Sure, read the question. Usually Mitch reads the twist of question. Yeah, but based on your guys' rapport, this has to come from Sherm. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 02:59:32 Dr. Phil could answer this. Biden could answer this. The year is 117 AD. It's the height of the Roman Empire. You are in command of an army of lizard people on the island of Crete. What is your strategy? for overthrowing the established power that is the empirical tyrant of Rome.
Starting point is 02:59:54 Well, first of all, what a fucking psycho question, Shirm. You get this off the back of one of your magic, The Gathering, circle jerks. Well, look, twisted tea's been around for a while. And I like to suck down a nice tea. It's got to be twisted. I don't like those normal adjusted teas. But look, lizard people have a place, too.
Starting point is 03:00:17 Just like when you go to the strip club and you meet one of those dancers with one leg, and you go, what's your name? And she says, cinnamon toast crunch. And you go, is that your birth name or your stripper name? And by that time, she's already falling over. And you ask yourself, why did I get here? What led me to getting here?
Starting point is 03:00:31 What did I do in my life that got me to hear? So Crete is an island. I haven't been to it. Okay. I'll give you the islands I've been to in no particular order, okay? Hawaii, Epstein, and, Joshua tree. It's not an island, but when you're
