He did. So we're gaining momentum. Also got confirmation from him that he wants to be our first reoccurring guest. Yeah, that's awesome. And he may or may not be sending us some memorabilia.

And eventually it will be up here for our guest wall. but yeah we're gaining momentum we're having fun it's a lot of fun sounds like it
Starting point is 00:02:04 we enjoy doing this what do we want to talk about well I mean we can talk about how it went with our first guest Thomas I thought it was pretty sweet dude drop bars if you haven't watched that episode go back and watch it was pretty cool I feel like with the guest
Starting point is 00:02:22 that since this is our second one we're finding a little bit of a rhythm It helps us not have any dead air And it actually does sound like we're having fun And in the comments I think Let me back up. Jack started a really good segment So in the comments if you want us to continue the sandwich talk
Starting point is 00:02:40 Drop your favorite sandwich in the chat And But this weekend there's something that's hype going on It's Mitch's birthday It is my birthday So drop happy birthdays in the chat as well Yeah so when this comes out It'll be last week
Starting point is 00:02:56 Yeah, it'll be this past weekend. Hope your birthday was fun. Yeah, it was fun. Jack's pissed about it. So I didn't get invited. This was, was it two episodes ago? Episode five when we talked about me not inviting Coop to the party with the interns. Coop is actually coming on the boat with us.
Starting point is 00:03:16 He made. We're dialed. I'm making it up to him and we are about to have a hell of a time. I said I had him at cliff jumping. It's going to be. is going to be awesome. I'm jumping those clips. Insert a picture of you guys on the boat together right there.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Insert screenshot of Mitch and Coop jumping off the clip together. Holding hands. From the video holding hands. Both mouth open about to enter the water. And now slow my video. I also think there's a mandatory Instagram collab that is required. Oh, absolutely. And that's not like a Sunday post.
Starting point is 00:03:49 That's midday on the water post or does it even mean anything? Because Jack, what content works best on busing? in like you know we're traveling you know like collab real time yeah in real time and that's why we run our socials yeah so we do need a clap post for sure absolutely it'll be
Starting point is 00:04:09 coop and I shaking hands on the because it'll be a double-decker boat it'll be us to I love to set the stage and the invite all it'll be us to shaking hands making up for it and then us holding hands going off the uh yeah going off the jumps maybe a couple beers deep
Starting point is 00:04:24 something that I don't don't know if this should have rubbed me the wrong way or not i'm not involved in the situation but i did i did just find out that coop is paying a hundred dollars to go on the boat and now i'm wondering how much you also no i mean you know mitch paid his dude but when you're inviting somebody to the boat and we also did find out he was your third option i mean no yes but Mitch don't worry. They're not turning me against you right now. And I don't know what they're trying to do here.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I don't mean to pick this, but when you guys, how do y'all feel on the invite things? Because I know like for rich people, say Will or Taylor, if they have a birthday party and they invite people out to dinner, they pay for everything. They're rich. I know that. I'm not saying that you should do it. But I'm saying what level of money or what level of status do you think you need to get to to be inviting, like. like people to dinner you pay for everything. Did Delaney have to pay for racing with your brother?
Starting point is 00:05:30 No, no. Oh. But if Mitch would have made me pay or not made me pay like, hey, like I got you, I would have been like, ah, I'm good. Like, I'm not going. Like, honestly paying is like a plus because then I feel like I'm part of it. Like I'm just like everyone else. Paying is a plus quote graphic.
Starting point is 00:05:45 If I was the only one who didn't pay, that would just be. You know what I'm saying? No, yeah. I like, I did was like, he showed me proof like everyone's paid already. I was like, hey, Coop, like, Coop said, let me see the receipts. I didn't make sure everyone's actually paying $100. I was like, Coop, I want to make this up for you.
Starting point is 00:06:02 He said, Coup, I asked like three other people. They said, no, do you want to go? No, I didn't. I said, Coop, I want to make this up to you. Would you like to come on the boat this weekend? However, it is $100. And I didn't want to be like, if you didn't want to come, that's completely fine. Like, obviously $100 is $100, especially when we don't, we're not paid.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Like, does Cooper have to bring his own alcohol or is? No. I mean, we'll have. We'll have like plenty of alcohol. I'll try to save money. I'll bring money. No, I mean,
Starting point is 00:06:29 Coobsers is going to bring the vibes. He's going to, I mean. Yeah. It's a, he's an impact player when it comes to you. Actually, the one thing you do need to bring.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Sunscreens. Sunscreens. No. No sunscreen. No sunscreen. I'm just looking out for like the day. I was peeling for like the last two weeks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Memorial weekend was bad. I turned red. Yeah. We got to, I don't want you to get burnt. And it's going to be. Luckily, we're going in the morning.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Where are going? Percy priest. Percy Priest 30 minutes If you see Mitch and Coop on the water And then put it on Snap a flick
Starting point is 00:07:00 I'm in the water I'm saying if all of our fans are like 5 million listeners Yeah But the only thing that stinks is like the Oh yeah The like the hours are like you can go at 945
Starting point is 00:07:15 1 or like 430 And the 1 o'clock slot was already Like booked So I figured if we I had 945 or at four, I feel like at four, we're going to be kind of like waiting all day. And I'm sure like we'll be like drinking and stuff beforehand. We might be a little bit too tuned up to go on the boats like 945.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Like I think that's a good start. Plus it's supposed to be like 95 degrees on Saturday. I was really sold on 945. Yeah. Yeah. And like well, I mean. A few hours. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I think we might be like one of the earlier people out on the water, which like there's like a little party cove where everybody kind of docks up. But I don't know. There's going to be people out. there's gonna be packed i feel like yeah yeah yeah for sure honestly one even feels late to get out on the water yeah so i think you guys are in the pot how long are you on there for that's a great time it's like three the next the next the next ride is at one so okay go off at 945 so like oh gotcha so you have just that time so yeah yeah yeah and it's nice too because like shout out rout routies wild rides no free shoutouts but they uh they have like this shuttle uh yeah they have this shuttle
Starting point is 00:08:24 like the shuttle service that they'll come pick us up at the house and then they'll drop us off electric that and that's like that that was an extra 200 bucks but for me no but I do like if you think about all the ubers that we're going to have to get from Percy yeah no that's awesome for sure it's definitely saving money for sure how many people are going 12 oh okay that's a that's a good price yeah it's a hundred per yep yeah so I mean I think it's going to be We need a boat, dude. Can I park by truck at your house? Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:08:57 There's like street parking? Yeah, you've been over before. You remember? He lives in the mills. He lives in Will's old house, basically. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. There's plenty of spots, and then there's like that gravel lot behind that you can park in.
Starting point is 00:09:09 I think Jackson's the only hasn't been to my house yet. Oh. Have you been to my house? The one that I bought? You just got it. Well, it's been a month. I've been here for nine months. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Well, do you rent or do you own? I rent. Well, type shit. didn't need to get so hostile. I mean, damn. Thought we just have fun here. But we do have. We are having fun.
Starting point is 00:09:32 We have fun. We're having a lot of fun. And just to clarify, you started that. No, I know. This is real? Is this real? I don't think it's real. I was just like,
Starting point is 00:09:41 like Jack doesn't know my friends, but, but I mean, it's just, it's just good fun. We digress. Mitch, you're turning 27. 27. Holy old.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I'm trying to think. What can we do for, what can we do for me? So do you have any like outside of work? Or maybe even a work highlight of year 26. 26. I mean, I already know what you got. What his would be. It's the 40.
Starting point is 00:10:14 No, that because I still get chirps on the internet. You're like, oh, you wrote a 5.3, bro. There's proof. That's what I'm saying. Exactly what I'm saying. There's tape. Check the tape. It's never enough for the internet.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I know. Honestly. It's going to sound like kind of dumb, but it has to be like us signing with Fandul and like the bonus and everything. I mean, that's, I mean, that's life changing money. But if we're going to like do it like an experience with like, are we talking about work experience? Yeah, yeah. The Super Bowl is kind of mid. Why?
Starting point is 00:10:47 Because your chiefs lost? No, it's just New Orleans. Everyone was sick. Yeah. And like me and Sherm, I don't know how you were, but I was like, I've, obviously. it's known that I hate throwing up, so I was bugging the entire time. He was nervous to catch if it was a bug or food poisoning.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Yeah. Where do we? Is that why you all ate at the same place every single day? Yeah. Yeah, Sherman and I went on to a couple days. We got something new on the menu every day. Honestly, the trip out to Oregon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:15 It was so sick, even though it's like, it might be recency bias, but that was awesome. I mean, the only fault to where I went to was the Alabama Tennessee game. That was sick as well. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Yeah, I was stoked that you got to go to Oregon because we've been before. Yeah, you guys were hiking it. If anyone's going to love that place, it's mid. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news,
Starting point is 00:11:38 huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts.
Starting point is 00:11:51 We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up? of the name Hey Jonas, guys. I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. We were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down?
Starting point is 00:12:12 Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, for people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Keith Gianmanca seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad. But secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy. But I felt so desperate that I felt it was,
Starting point is 00:12:57 the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No. I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover
Starting point is 00:13:14 that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Especially me being the gear, I was going to say, especially me being the neon kid in high school.
Starting point is 00:13:48 We need that photo. Yeah. No, Oregon was, that was awesome. But personal life, probably getting my girlfriend. Shout out, Brooke. Dang, that is just within the year. Well, we started dating May right before my birthday when I was 25. But like this, actually, I'll reset.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Going out to San Diego with her. And that was meeting the fan. Hey, because where were you? Stevenson, range. Yeah. Yeah. Ironically enough, everybody, I don't know if you guys know, I'm a massive Mike fan. I'm a Steve.
Starting point is 00:14:27 and ironically enough Brooke is from Stevenson Ranch California which is like something premeditated yeah yeah obviously I knew that before PCH yeah PCH shot
Starting point is 00:14:38 trying to look on my P Street but yeah and then we were able to go out to San Diego and then that was the first time we said I love you to each other so let's go you went to that same coffee spot

Starting point is 00:15:46 No doubt. I don't know if that's Jake's point. It's not. The way he looked. Look, but also heard character things. Okay. It's not like he's not like he's any, like, really done anything bad he's just like kind of like a weirdo i'd love i'd love to have him on the podcast
Starting point is 00:16:01 we could talk about it yeah benny we'll put you to come on you greasyy golf boy get on the pod but uh yeah so we've done we did like these questions where like you just kind of like get to know each other more and then i knew i was going to do it because like san diego is where she went to college it's like she lived there for like a year year and a half and we went into the harbor and we were like doing these questions i was like all right i have one more question and then i was like the question was how do you know how do you know how do you know how do you know that you're in love was the question and I was like I wanted to ask it but I kept getting like cold feet and I got scared so then I was like all right one more all right one more and then I finally did it and y'all
Starting point is 00:16:40 ran out of cards no dead ass and I was uh I was like so how do you know that you're in love with somebody then she like gave her answer but she's and then she was like have you always been the first one to say I love you in your relationship and I was like yes I have tight Me too. And she's like, yeah, I've always been like, I have never said it first, but I want to say it first to you. So I was like, you stole my thunder. But then, yeah. So that's how we said it.
Starting point is 00:17:06 We were having like a picnic in the harbor, got like pizza. Like the perfect sunset. I mean, San Diego is just unreal. And then the. Year of year 26 was I love you. You're 27? No. Will you?
Starting point is 00:17:21 Moving in will be year 27. Moving in together will be. year 27. Mitch has been on Zillow recently, Brooke, if you're listening. She's been on Zillow with me. So there you go. Oh. But yeah, I love it.
Starting point is 00:17:35 That's our love story. You have a, like there's a high ceiling for you all are going to live. You've lived in some insane places. So for those that don't know Mitch, how long you live here? Minimum of three stories in Mitch's cribs. It'll be three years in September. Mitch has lived here for three years. You've been in what, six places?
Starting point is 00:17:52 No, this is my third. No. There was like three and six. six months. Yeah, you moved like four times. No, so I was in my apartment building for six months by myself and then Fowm moved down and then I was there for another year. So I was in my apartment for 18 months. And then I was moved into the house in east for, uh, like four months. Yeah, literally four months. And then from the east house, we moved to this house. Oh, to the house to the house. So yeah, three, three, three houses in three years. Good deal.
Starting point is 00:18:22 You only live in the mansion. the one in east was crazy the one in east was this one it's nuts too that he's in i think the one in east was bigger i think the one in east was definitely bigger but it was made of paper airplanes yeah yeah well it was also it wasn't just the house the decor at the one down east was crazy it looked like a magazine it came it did come furnished oh yeah but remember you pulled up and you had your sleeves off that was that that's his one right now no no no that's the That was when you two just came. Yeah, yeah, I rolled up. Yeah, I rolled up.
Starting point is 00:18:58 That wasn't, but then you showed up again for the 4th of July. Did you, were you there for 4th of July? Mm-mm. And you weren't there for 4th of July. I don't know, no. I think I was the only one. Yeah, you and Jill showed up. I went to that house one time. Yeah. Yeah. As soon as I rolled in that first time with y'all to you, I walk in that living room, I guess somebody's girlfriend lives here. Like, this is crazy. Yeah, it came furnished. And I did not pick out that house. That was Schles and. Perilu and Ryan. They all picked out that house and then that three of them lived in there. And then Peril moved out to New Orleans. So then Fal and I moved in, took his spot.
Starting point is 00:19:33 And like it saved Schles and Ryan money. It saved us money. So it was like it was perfect. And Jared had been, Jared was probably there the most. Yeah. I was about to say side note as someone that toured houses with you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:48 The houses that Mitch picks out. I mean, dude, we were literally touring like you. think like they're like Mark Zuckerberg's like little property like they were ridiculous but they weren't like we would look we would do pricing and they weren't no and Mitch is also so organized on the house search hit a Google sheet had it by price like a rating system but they're all penthouses you guys you can live anywhere oh exactly like the house that we're living in right now is we have four people and it's it I mean I don't really care it's 4500 for split between four people and Mitch actually does his research that house on the market is
Starting point is 00:20:23 Probably like 1.5 mil. I think I looked it up and I think it's like 800. Dang, market going down. Street parking took it down. Yeah. Yeah. Sewage flooding. But it's so random because like you have like these crazy houses and you just have like a little like a house that's been there for a minute and you know it.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Right. Just the owners don't want to give it up. But yeah, that was when Jared and I, me Jared and Fow are going to live together. We toured a bunch of houses. We've toured at least like six or seven places. And then Jared was like, listen, I'm going to have to pay four months. month double rent. I don't think this is going to work. Yeah. And Mitch tried to make it work. Mitch like tried to get the cost of the house so low that it would make up for it and the money I would save a loan. But like Mitch had this shit like Mitch is about to be running a dormitory. Dude, Mitch had it planned out. The only reason it was just made no, I was like this just I can't justify just wasting like $8,000. Yeah. To live with you all like to double pay rent. But yeah. So that kind of knows that kind of goes back to show how much how long Jared and I have known each other. But yeah. Fire. Great year. Great year.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Great year. Great year ahead. Excited for 27 and what's going to come. I have no idea. Let's go. But it'll be the best part. Maybe since it's your birthday, we don't all do our favorite sandwich, but we just get Mitch's favorite sandwich. For sure.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Since it's birthday. On three? Yeah. One, two, three. PDJ. Yep. Yes. Yep.
Starting point is 00:21:47 You got to get you a birthday. Actually, what we need Mitch is a photo of you in your birthday. post with a PB and J in front of you with a candle in it. That would be, I mean, that is a good idea. I, that or just a fat cookie. Yeah. Sure. Or in your,
Starting point is 00:22:04 that works. In your picture with Coop, just hold, hold your handout with your picture with Coop and we'll sore a PB&J with a candle. That'd be, I guess I can't just edit it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:16 That's crazy. We saw the Chad GPT. I don't know if y'all saw my story last night. It's not good for the brain. When you use Chad GPT a certain amount, it's great. Your brain activity, it's, it goes great pretty much as opposed to when you're creating something on your own. There's all the different stuff going on in the brain. Just be wary out there of you chat GPT.
Starting point is 00:22:37 It's obviously useful, but don't abuse it. Oh, hey. Don't abuse it. Like a drug. When you're on the boat with Coop, take a picture with him, but hold your hand out. We'll have Coop put a PBJ with a candle in it. Yeah. I think, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Good, hey, I got you. If there's another thing you want to bring, you could bring a PBJ to that. That would be perfect. How long would we be going, Jared? B.Y. P, B.B.M.J. 21. It's probably good.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Yeah, it's probably good. Yeah, so we had, obviously we had George Kittle. Funny one? We got, I mean, it was, I personally didn't ask a lot of questions because I was intimidated. It's the first interview we've ever done. He did. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:23:18 It was a rough showing for me. He bodied me, too, when I said, you kind of, You did your ground. You did stay 10 toes. I wish I was ready with it because I was like Cardinals were two and Ogan Shell last year. He's like, oh, what about the years before that? I looked it up five and five in last 10 games.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Okay. So what's he talking about? We kind of own the Niners no matter how good they are. Let's go. K-1. I love it. So jot that down. But yeah, enjoy this George Kitto interview.

But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever,
Starting point is 00:25:51 because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, welcome back to episode six of Back of the Bus. Today is a very special episode. We have our very first guest, none other than George Kittle. Hey, everybody. Let's go. It's a big bus you guys got back.
Starting point is 00:26:26 here. It really is. It's pretty nice, huh? I know. Much, much better where Taylor and Willset. Yeah. Is your chair much comfortable on this show or on the bus? Granted, you're in between two people. I'm definitely more comfortable right now. Yeah. That's what we want to hear. That's what we want to hear. So for all the other potential guests out there, it is very welcoming. If you've been on the bus, you might as well go to the back of the bus. Amen. Set the tone. Set the tone. Right. That's where the work's done. Yeah. Absolutely. When you had, when you first heard of back of the bus or first had the opportunity, what were your first thoughts. I was excited because from all the times I've been on the bus and chirp with you guys
Starting point is 00:27:01 from the back of the bus, I always knew that you guys are pretty good at what you do. So the fact that you guys now get to do this stuff, you're going to have a lot of fun up on this stuff. This is going to be so much fun. It was like a brainchild of mine and like all of us for, I don't know, for how long. And then we finally were like, fuck it, let's just send it. It's fantastic. Mitch got us rolling for sure. Mitch took it upon himself to get everything set up. Yeah. This beautiful. studio. We need to get some stuff on the wall. We might need a George
Starting point is 00:27:32 Kittle jersey. That's easy. I got you. That would be our main focal point of the set design. Right in the middle. Yeah. You know those artists do murals and stuff? You should just do a back of the bus mural. That would be sick. I mean, just you under all under your arms. Just kind of like holding you. Yeah. Have you seen our children? Have you seen our logo? I think so yeah, it looks like back to the futureish. Yeah. That's actually right. That was
Starting point is 00:27:54 cool. I'm glad you got that. Hey, what about this? Let's think about this. since you are our first guest. Yeah. Can we add George into the bus for the episode? Oh, like the graphic. Oh, yeah. Those are cool.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah, we will. When people do that, I think that's a good vibe. Can it just be me holding you guys all like my kids? Honestly. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Maybe you're all the bus. Overhead press. That'll be phenomenal. How much are you benching right now? I don't really bench. I do dumbbell bench press now. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Where are you out on there? Um, like 140 for three. Dang. All right. 140 for three. What do you got? On what?
Starting point is 00:28:29 Well, there's beef here too because when George came on the bus, he said, who's the guy with the Cardinal shirt? I did. Well, like now, I'll never forget him, though. Right?
Starting point is 00:28:36 Yeah. That's a lasting impression. Yeah, I know. They went to and over San Fran last year. They did. Also, how many years before that? I'm,
Starting point is 00:28:49 you're probably a new fan. You're probably a new to the team. New fan? Yeah. Who's your favorite? No, Coop, who's your favorite player? who's your favorite player of all time? Larry Fitz.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Oh, as you should be. He's a monster. Been there. I ran into him last summer in Minnesota, and he was bigger than me. Dames. Yeah. He was like 6-4-255, and he doesn't even look like he's that big. I was like, you're a monster, dude.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Who's your favorite player of all time? My favorite player of all time. Growing up, it was Ricky Williams. Oh, heck, yeah. Ricky Williams was my favorite player. Actually, I got to talk to him on, was it, Hey K. Adams show. Like, he was the next guest after me, and I just. Shout out.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Okay. I just sat on the show. I was like, can I just like not hang up and like sit here for five minutes? She's like, yeah, for sure. And I just talked to him and I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:29:33 you dude, you're a legend. So yeah, Ricky Williams was one of my favorites. And then, um, probably like Brian Erlacker or, uh,
Starting point is 00:29:40 like Dallas Clark. Classic. Oh, he's an Iowa guy, tight end. What does it feel like when you grew up in like this league where the tight end was more blocking position? Now you guys have kind of revolutionized that we have.
Starting point is 00:29:50 That we have. And you get to hang out with the Dallas Clarks and all these like massive people you probably grew up playing with. So fucking sick. Like we have Jeremy Shockey coming this year to Tideon you and like blown away. So I'm so excited. Like I literally watched his highlight videos before a couple games last year. Just got me amped.
Starting point is 00:30:04 So like he's fantastic. Hang out with Dallas Clark is always a great time because he's an Iowa guy. But like just getting to kind of connect to the old school players who like, because I mean, yeah, like 20 years ago, everything, it was just like a, you're the sixth offensive linemen, right? Like if you were a smaller guy, you didn't make the league. And now it's just evolved into like, you have big guys, you got small guys. You got the guys in the middle like me who do everything.
Starting point is 00:30:25 It's just like the position is just you get to do everything and you do everything at a high level. So it's, I'm really enjoying it. It's got to be one of the best positions. And we've talked about it, probably our collective favorite position group because of the vibes. Oh, dude. Yeah, because tight ends one, your friends at the office of linemen, your friends with the wide receivers, the running backs, the quarterbacks, all the defensive players, like, you're connected to everybody. And that's a score touchdowns. I get to score touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:30:48 I get to run routes. I get a run block. I get a pass pro. I get a pass pro defense events that make $100 million. I enjoy doing everything. Some Titans throw passes. Would you rather catch a game-winning TD or pancake flop
Starting point is 00:31:03 one of the best D-ins in the league? The fact that you added the best defensive end the league, I might take that one at this point, yeah. If it was just a normal pancake, I would take a touchdown because stats is what get you paid. True. But no, pancaking like a perennial all-pro guy is, that's a dream. And the good news is you guys won the game still.
Starting point is 00:31:24 So I could just see George getting up laughing. I do that NFL sound bite would just be George laughing the whole time. I just I cackle dude. I'm just like I can't believe you let me do that to you. But would you be a little worried? No. I'm saying, but everything that comes after like hopefully it happens at the end of the game. No, no.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I do it early because then you just discourage him. So I'm in his head for the rest of the game. Yeah, you talk. Yeah, you talk the whole game. I'm telling you, every D-Line room, you can ask any D-Ly'm in this, their defensive court, their defensive line coach is going, don't care who this tight end is. You're going to beat his ass.
Starting point is 00:31:53 We don't get blocked by tight ends. All this, XYZ. And then he has to sit on Monday and watch himself get pancake by a tight end. That's hard to beat. And it'll live forever on the internet.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yep. I'm also in his head for the rest of his life. So when you're talking shit, are you more of like a mean talk kind of guy? Are you more like, just kind of like friendly kind of jab just laughing at him when you're 90% of it is friendly jabs. And then 10% of it,
Starting point is 00:32:16 like if you say something really stupid to me, it's quick trigger at this point. Like I can't remember. I'm not going to say. I'm not going to name the kid even though I'm picturing his face and his jersey in his name right now, but I'm not going to name him. What color is that jersey? Green.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Anyways, he was a rookie and I had a play. I'd like a chip to like a release and I'm like the checkdown route on it. I chip him and as a release, he like just grabs me by the collar and throws me down to the ground. And I turn around. I look at him and he like turns around and he goes, yeah, sit the fuck down, you pussy bitch. And I looked at him and then a flag comes in because it's an obvious holding call. And I looked at him. I was like, hey.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Hey, hey, turn around so I know what your fucking name is, bud. I have no idea who you are you talking to right now? No one here knows you are. And then his coach is like, get over here. And he didn't play the rest of the game. I said, yeah, go back to your fucking coach. Sit on the fucking bench and think about what you've done. That's one of the best trips.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Like, who even are you? Oh, Juice does that all the time to people. It's so funny. Like, he does it to everybody. He goes, who are you? Nah, nobody knows. I'm just like, oh. That one would.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Like, I don't, like, that is, I've only said it like once or twice. Most people aren't like dickheads to me because I'm pretty friendly. But like for someone to say like sit down pussy bitch, I'm like as a rookie. Yeah. Who the fuck are you, bud? Is there any defensive guys that are hilarious to play against? Like every week it's not so much you're looking forward to the matchup, but you're like, yo, this guy is entertaining.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Ooh, that's a good one. Like a defensive George Pickens type. Right. You're looking for those highlights. Yeah. That's a really good question. There's a couple DBs that are always fun to go against because they just chirp the whole time and then like I'll run at them or block them and they run away from me.
Starting point is 00:33:51 me and they go, ah man, get the fuck away from me, I don't want none of these problems. Those ones are always fun. Like, uh, there's a couple like D.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Lyman that are always fun to play against. JJ Watt, no, T.J. Watt was really fun to play against when he was with the Cardinals a couple times because he just talks the whole game. And then, uh,
Starting point is 00:34:07 TJ's fun too because we chipped on them every single play. No, this is a, we played them in Pittsburgh two years ago. We won the game, but like we chipped them every play except for three plays. And on those three plays, he had three sacks.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Damn. And literally. But we chipped him all three, the whole game. And he's so mad the whole game. He was like, dude, leave me alone. I'm like, never. He's like, you're mine, baby, you're mine. Those conversations are always really fun.
Starting point is 00:34:33 All right. I know we can talk about football all day, but I feel like that's probably, yeah. Are you an amusement park or a water park guy? Water park. Yeah. I get crazy motion sickness on roller coasters, but I still do them because they're really fun. What was the last water park that you visited? Oh, dude, couldn't even tell you.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Probably like 10 years. ago probably like summer in Iowa well okay so we've been flowed this idea around we've got these interns you might have breeze by them at the end of the summer i've run up by will and we want to take them to national shores i don't know if you've ever been to national shores it's a pretty you know b tier water park fantastic tier is really giving them flowers that's awesome but we're going to take everyone in the shop there at the end of the summer you know it might be too close to training camp but if you're around man the invite is extended if you want to come rip a water park i love water parks there's a lot of on people watching, as you could imagine.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Oh, dude, it's fantastic. Yeah. Are you kidding me? Concession stands hit different too at water parks. Dipping dots. We all got to wear goggles the entire time. That'd be incredible. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I'm going to wear ski goggles. Oh, yeah. It's incredible. Oh, I'm in for that. That sounds like a great time. Waterpark. There's nothing like a good water park as a kid. Like, what's the hotel that has a water park in it, the Wolf Lodge?
Starting point is 00:35:45 Oh, great Wolf Lodge. Yeah, great Wolf Lodge. Shout out those guys. Like, there's nothing like, I had to stay there one time. a year or two ago. Like the Hotide books, I fell through and there's a great wolf lodge in the same city.
Starting point is 00:35:55 I was like, I'll stay there. I went down the waterside once. It was fantastic. It was like a Tuesday afternoon. No one was there. I was like, this is awesome.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Ripping the slide, no line. As far as professional fandom in the state of Iowa, like what are the teams of that state growing up? So basically, you have a choice. If you live in Iowa,
Starting point is 00:36:16 you're an Iowa football fan, probably you're not an Iowa state fan. And then you either go to Minnesota, you go to Wisconsin, you go to Kansas City, or you go to Chicago. Like those are your four that you pick. And like, that's just kind of how it is. My dad was a Bears fan, so I became a Bears fan and a Cubs fan. Like my dad's dad was a Vikings fan. I have a ton of friends who are, I mean, most of my wife's entire family is diehard Packers fans. So that was a, that was a fun transition to get them to be like, hey, stop cheering for the Packers. Right. Stop it. And they've all
Starting point is 00:36:50 done a great job since then. Now they all have nine or stuff. But yeah, no, I grew up a Bears fan. I couldn't imagine living in a state and like having to pool for a team in another state. It's, it's really weird. Mitch, what do you have? No, you're like Chicago's on like two, it's like a two hour drive. That's not bad. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.
Starting point is 00:37:25 So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.
Starting point is 00:37:45 We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, for people could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Keith Gianmanca seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad, but secretly, he became someone else, a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy. But I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No.
Starting point is 00:38:36 I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has... has been living a double life. That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, the pointed question at me. No, no. Wait, ask Mitch who his teams are. Ask where he's from. Let's see. No, no, where are you from? I'm from Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:39:21 You're from Pennsylvania, so what are you? Right outside of Philly. You are a, what, a Patriots Yankees fan, and then you like the Lakers too? It gets better. I'm only, I don't have any, I'm a football fan. I don't really care about the other sports. Okay, sure. But I'm an Ohio State fan and a Kansas City Chiefs fan.
Starting point is 00:39:39 So basically the Yankees and the, uh, yeah, the New Age Yankees and Patriots. Yeah, no, that's, that's totally fine. And you live in Tennessee and you're from Pennsylvania. Yep. Yeah. So that'll be all for us today this week. You remember last year when you were on the bus and we recorded longer so I can miss my. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:00 This is beef too. The Monru. Last year, you guys, when you came on. Yeah. You were leaving for Bonneroo. I was trying. Yeah. Trying. What happened?
Starting point is 00:40:09 I missed. You know, you know, Mike? Yeah. He's like my favorite artist. I'm like a massive. You missed it? Missed it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:40:16 That sucks for you. Yeah. But I'm seeing him July 5th when he comes here. That's interesting. You try to record on July. 5th, George. July 5th. It's a Saturday.
Starting point is 00:40:26 That's a Saturday. That's. Oh. Fourth July Friday is I'm going to be on the river probably is where I'm going to be. What river is you going out towards? South Harpeth. My sister. You float it?
Starting point is 00:40:36 No, my sister just bought a cabin with river access. And like last year we set up all the all like the pong tables in the river because it's only like two feet deep in some parts. So we're playing beer pong and beer ball like in the water. That was a fantastic. Those are good days when you float the harp. Those are great days. So the water, like at that point, too, in July, it's like 75, 80 degrees.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Great. Where is the harp? Just west. Just go west 20 minutes. You'll run into the harpeth. Just drive off the bridge and untapped areas in Nashville still. Kingston Springs, baby. Yeah, buddy.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I love it out there. Yeah, it's great. It's hard to beat. I want to open up either a bar or a sandwich shop in Kingston Springs. What about both? We get the interns and work there. Daytime subs, nighttime bud light. It's very interesting.
Starting point is 00:41:21 The tough thing is that I think there's like, like one family that basically owns everything in Kingston Springs and they're not they don't need to sell because they sure they don't need to kiddo springs can you walk a step through step what is George Kittles favorite sandwich whether it's you're creating it or you're at your own favorite sandwich spot oh let's see first things if I'm going to subway the subway melt is my favorite sandwich quiz nose chicken carbonara shit's gas or the chicken honey mustard that one's gas Jimmy John's club lulu it's so good toasted He's tapped in.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Dude, they just started doing that. It's crazy. It's so good. It's so good. It's a place called Ike's sandwiches out in California. And it's called, it's fun because all the names are completely random. Like they name a lot of them after athletes in the bay. But they have one.
Starting point is 00:42:08 It's called Name of the Girl I'm dating is the name of the sandwich. And it's like shredded chicken with like some. It's like it's basically like a yum yum sauce. And it's like the Dutch crunch bread. Like the super crunchy one. I have that one at least twice a week. That shit is so. good. Have you tried Cheba Hut?
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah, Chewohd. Dude, one of my old, one of my, uh, Carrie Hider, former DeVinth of the Niners. He owns like four Cheba Huts. I was like, dude, good for you. He made him money. Oh, he did. I think they're all in college towns too. Oh, yeah. He's smart. We hit the one in Eugene. Yeah. There's one here. There's a Cheba Hut here. Yeah. I don't know if you're in a designer sandwiches, but like, you know, something's going to maybe cost you about $16, $17.17. Yeah, what is it? But there's a place It's called Smoke and Oaks and it's off of Wedgwood and 8th Avenue and it's like partially
Starting point is 00:42:56 a butcher shop and then they also make something like really good sandwiches and if you're ever there it's it's definitely worth going. So you basically you order your meats then you get a sandwich and you eat your sandwich while you wait for your meats. Exactly. Yeah, I'm in. That's fantastic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Have you been to room 40 in Nashville? I feel like I have. Is that like a really small restaurant? No, that's different. No, it's a room for these nuts. No. I definitely ate there. Dude.
Starting point is 00:43:22 I definitely ate there. Hey, you killed Rob with that one. It's brutal because I got Rob with it on the pod. That's a good one. I remember that one. It's tough. Hey, fuck you. Hey, can you do me a favor?
Starting point is 00:43:33 Shut the fuck up. Yeah, that's another class. I got got. We do have a pretty epic moment moment here. Do you have pouches in right now? I do have his in Bobway in. Okay. And you spit.
Starting point is 00:43:44 I spit. It's huge for Jerry. That is a huge W for Jared Beeman over there. I don't know. Oh, I do. It's a hard time for it. I get like the worst heartburn. I get the worst heartburn from it.
Starting point is 00:43:57 It's also like there's no way that's healthy to swallow it for your gut lining. So like, why would I? I did shoot tobacco for 12 years. So that's not healthy for you either. But you live and you learn. It is delicious. Damn. I'll say this.
Starting point is 00:44:10 One of my favorite things. I went to the Deadenco with the sphere. Shout out of my hat. Shout out your hat. I went one time with, it was me, Bosa, McCaffrey, juice. and Jake Tunges, one of our tight ends, golfed all day, went to Grateful Dead, had so much fun that I went the following weekend,
Starting point is 00:44:27 convinced my wife to go again. So then it was me, my wife, Bosa went again. Fantastic. And we brought a couple of office lemon, Ben Barch and Nick Zichel. And we got to meet John Mayer the second time. Dang. And, well, at first, we walk into his room
Starting point is 00:44:39 and he's just hanging out with Kenny Chesney, which was pretty sick. And my wife knows Kenny Chesney really well because she met him like 10 years ago. She's bound to like 14 of his shows. Hell yeah. But John Mayer, he doesn't drink. And we're like, well,
Starting point is 00:44:50 what's like your vice? now and it's Codiak Wintergreen, which is the same tobacco that I chewed for 12 years. And he's a guy just put in half a can. He goes, I just put in half a can for like for like 10 minutes and he takes it out. I'm like, oh my gosh. I was like, that's gasoline in the fucking lip. I was like, Codiac is not for the fan of heart. No, it is not. I remember I shoot Codyac in front of Luke Combs and he was shooting Copenhagen. And he was like, you are putting gasoline in your lip. I'm like, sorry that I'm a man and you're not. How insane is a fear though. It's one of the coolest. I went last year. Jack went recently and obviously you went at the same time. Yeah, I went the weekend after you in CMC what you were just talking about. I guess when I went out with my wife. hanging out with John Mayer. We were there together. It's all good. I wouldn't sick of you would have told me. I was out of Cody X. I wouldn't have felt good going in that way. That was. It's an experience though. It's I think it really depends on where your seats are
Starting point is 00:45:42 too because if you're like under because it's like was you have the ground floor then like the 100 level, but it goes up and there's a deck over it and if you're like underneath the deck and you can't look up it's like it's like if you're like tucked under the thing if you're not if you're tucked under it's just like you see some of it but it's not as cool but like if you kind of hurt your heart you're like if you ever go to the sphere you want to be either on the ground floor you want to be in the 200 level that's what uh because big cat uh he goes all the time and uh but like it literally is it's like an egg and it just goes up over your head and like the way like they can make the room feel like it's a small little room they drop they drop it yeah they can
Starting point is 00:46:20 drop it down. You feel like you're in a box or they open it up and it goes up forever. It's one of the coolest experiences I've ever been to. Yeah. It's awesome. Anytime the Grateful Dead is there, I'll go again. With your like status of celebrity, what is the coolest thing that has just fallen in your lap, some kind of experience like getting to meet John Mayer.
Starting point is 00:46:37 That that is a, I mean, like, the only reason we got him into Grateful Dead was because Bosa got a random invite when he was, because he lives in Fort Lauderdale to, what's the electric music festival in Miami? EDC or what is it called it's some big one it's either EDC or it's something but uh his favorite artist is deadmow pull it up jamie okay and so he had like a random invite to go watch dead mount perform on like on a sunday night and he went and like dead mouse head of security is friends with the grateful uh bob weir who's like the last guy of yeah the OG he's friends with his head of security and who's like a niners fan and he sent it to him connected them and he goes you guys want to come to the sphere next week and so then he
Starting point is 00:47:19 brought all of he brought us and then we had so much fun they'd let us come back again it's like that's the reason we got to go so like shit like that when that happens you're like they put us in like one of the sweets it was just an absolute hood of a time yeah i mean you guys you guys playing in same friend that's where they're from so i feel like dude and dude the grateful dead they have a three day show are you gonna go at the golden state park and dude billy string sergil simpson tray anesthesia the first the first day of the show we have a bidey that we have an off day the next day from training camp. So we have a group of guys that are going to go up for the show. That's amazing. And then Morgan Wallens there the next day too.
Starting point is 00:47:54 I think Thomas Edwards plays. Hey, it's us the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we, how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys. I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,
Starting point is 00:48:43 Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Starting point is 00:56:11 We have one thing in common. Let's see. No, but my favorite thing about Shoresy is because I watched that before I'd ever been to like before I went to Montreal and it's the whole show is like EDM music. Yeah. And then I didn't realize like Canada is all EDM music in between every time out is just EDM songs. It's fantastic. It's like a party in there. I'm just like what? That's sick. It's so sick. I'm just listening like Calvin Harris in between like a buck drop. I'm like, what the fuck? I love I love the structure of each episode is five minute EDM montage at the very beginning.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Yep. Then you know, whatever the plot is of that episode last five minutes. minutes. Edia montage. It's so good. And then just revolving back door of jokes that have been said for the last four season. So, settled down.

And so like tickets for like 10, 20 bucks at the most. And we'd always sit behind the opposing goalie and we would chirp him the entire game. And one of my favorites was whatever his name was. I just matched with her mom on Tinder. She gave me a great tug last night or something like that.
