Bussin' With The Boys - Best of the Bus: Leonard Fournette On His NFL Journey + Was He Better Than Derrick Henry In College?

Episode Date: November 22, 2025

On this episode of Best of the Bus, the boys were joined by the one and only Leonard “Playoff Lenny” Fournette for what turned into one of the funniest and most chaotic pods ever recorded on the bus. But it wasn’t all laughs — Lenny opened up about real moments from his NFL journey, giving us one of the most well-rounded, entertaining episodes of that year. The Fournette interview kicked off with Lenny immediately revisiting his infamous fight with Jeffery Simmons at Titans practice, explaining exactly what went down. He then addressed the offseason weight rumors before diving into the unmatched football talent pipeline that comes out of New Orleans. Lenny opened up about getting cut from Jacksonville, shared what it was like asking for his release from Tampa Bay, and even gave an update on Tom Brady — all while sprinkling in some wild LSU fight stories from back in the day. Things got even funnier during Tier Talk as the Boys debated the best fast-food breakfasts, and Lenny wrapped up the episode by discussing his friendship with Antonio Brown and answering the age-old question: was he a better college running back than Derrick Henry? Big hugs, tiny kisses — this one was an all-timer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's going to be a fight as a while. It's going to be a fight. It's going to hype everybody up. Like in the meeting. Walked up, Tom, he hit me. Uh, hit him two times. Then it's like a hundred Titans came out of nowhere. Then my team came.

Well, for real. Hey, he messed up. He messed up because we were doing, like, at the end of the game situations or whatever. Yeah. And you walked. towards him towards our sideline. My man wasn't using his, he wasn't using his situational awareness.

It's maddenrating with that a little bit. He was going to the sideline, bro. He's like, Jeff, and Jeff turned around, and Jeff didn't really talk. You could just see him, and then Lenny put it in there, and then all of a sudden, there were a lot of blue shirts.

Everybody came. And he's just some white shirts running in. I'm on there instigating. Love that Don King. Yeah, dude. Insigated up, sell the fight. Just sell the fight, dude. I was up there.

We had a couple girls in bikinis walking around round one, dude. They were going. Who's the dude He's a 3-Tinac 56? He's always got the grill in? Not chow. Because I was in there saying a bunch of stuff

And he turned around and looked at me And I was like, oh, he's taking me serious He's taking me serious. All right, listen, I got two kids. I ain't trying to fight nobody. You know what I'm saying? Definitely, man. So you guys thought we won that first day, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, we came out flat, so y'all definitely got us that first day. What happens in the meetings after? Because I've been a part of the joint practices because there was one time is Washington. Vrable was with Houston, the Texans. Vrable's in there obviously scrapping it up.

Is this when the big nose tackle took that center to the back of the quarterback? Who was to do that play for the Patriots for a long time? Huge guy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What is his name? Vince Wolford. Vince Wolford, yes.

Oh, yes. And massive fight broke out on like both sides. And essentially, like, they canceled the third day of practice and practiced the rest of the day. but there's always like a fight that's going to happen because day one happens and whoever feels like they get the better like the coaches kind of rile you up oh they do

fucking blah blah blah you know they're kind of like 100% when y'all came down that when he was going against jpp I've seen it all I was like oh they're getting after that well the first time uh I don't know if you were with tampa yet it was like they told me the story jp people against everybody buddy let me just tell you something the first we go to do one-on-ones in my head I'm like I'm about to beat this dude's ass in one-on-ones and then trip his hand because he just blew his hand off yeah yeah

I'm about a trip the fuck out of his hand right now. He comes in, dude. I thought he was going out. So I went to punch, and he, like, clubbed me with that massive club. Closed me, and I'm like, oh, shit. I try to, like, go back. And he hit me again. Spun me in a circle.

It's the best move has ever been put on me in my life. And he tips over, touches the bag and goes, and I did that with one hand. I'm like, he took everything from me, dude. I didn't stand a chance. Yes, yeah. The whole day we had to get going. But, yeah, that was, and then Buck's Twitter put that shit on there. Buck's Twitter's out to get me.

I'm glad. I'm glad when you got pulled that up. And it just says getting better. And it's just me. It's just going like backwards. And then he ends up flipping somebody. He goes down and that's a whole pile of that. And he put me in the fucking ground too.

Oh, man. You got to stop doing them hard counts. Do you do the PR? Do you run the social account? Okay. All right. We'd have to. We'd have to get the mics out for a second, dude.

Yeah. We need to delete it immediately. Yeah, that was tough. Dude, tough. So let's talk about the off season. Yeah. The weight, all the fun content that was going around about you gaining weight. How much were you weighing?

That was like around 251 at the time. And what do you usually play at? I play like 240. So you would... He's 11 pounds. Yeah, I mean, 11 pounds. It's not terrible. The jersey's definitely an ex-helper.

He's definitely an ex-helpeck. Yeah, yeah, we, yeah, because we talked about it on bus. He just ran a hard runner. You know, you put that thing out there. You know what I'm saying? Definitely. Definitely, but, you know, at the time, no football wasn't going on, so they wanted to find something to talk about, and I guess that was it.

Yeah? You know what I mean? But I didn't care. Right? Yeah. No more, no more. No more. Yeah, no pause.

No pause. No pause. No pause. It didn't bother me too much, you know what I mean? I knew who I am. And my team knew who I am when it came from for the game and time to play and practice. I'm coming with it. Yeah.

Yeah. But June and July, boys are a little thick. Yeah, it's a free time, you know what? When are you your thickest? What month? Five March. Yeah, I say, well, you can say when the seasons, oh,

I'm at Waffle House, 6 o'clock in the morning, All-Star Special. He's at Warnel House. Professional athlete out there at Waffle House. At 6 in the morning? 6 in the morning. Were you waking up at 6 in the morning or we were up? I'm waking up.

We've been up. It's doing whatever on the game. I'm on a game to like probably 5 o'clock. and then in the morning. Yeah, then I get up while I'm hungry. Then my chef might cook some healthy and say, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Just come, come for lunch. Come for lunch.

I'm out to go to Waffle House. And then he comes to lunch and come for dinner. Does your alarm go off, like, for like $5.50 and it just says Waffle House? No, it's naturally, my body just, there's no what time it is, you know what I mean? The New Orleans guys, man. I'm telling you. You've got the thick accent. Well, no, yeah.

New Orleans is like, I dated a girl from Bat, from Bat Rouge. Yeah. First off, LSU, probably my favorite SEC school. Yeah. For a football. Obviously, baseball, we're a ball's team here. But, bro, I would go down to... We kick your ass, though.

We, I'm going to Michigan. You know what I'm saying? You say, Vols, don't matter. Yeah, okay, excuse me. That's who you remember. Why you got to pick on the balls? They haven't been, like, really it since, like, the 90s, right? Right, that I'm saying.

So, LSU was... It's de-school for baseball. Is it dis-school? Dude, I did go to a baseball game at LSU, and it's crazy. LSU's known for their baseball just as much as we got. It's sad. I went on Mike the Tiger. When I was in college, it was me.

I was number one playing in football. We had Ben Simmons for basketball. Basketball. And I want to say Alex for fucking baseball. He played for Houston. Bro. Look at out. Are you boys with Ben Simmons?

That's my guy. What's up with all the, I don't even watch basketball punch like that? I don't know, bro. You know, I can't get into all that. Does he not have that dog in him? Alex Brickman. There is. Addix Brighman

First round with her So Ellis usually just stacked like that Always Well that stadium is pretty dope I'm not gonna lie But what's the place to go to And was it Tiger Tigerland

What's it called? Breads Mike's bogies I know about all that man I told you I dated a girl In Baton Rouge What I was really Really gonna say

Because you're on that Waffle House kid You're a man of the world Like you've been Yeah I've traveled All over the continental United States Yeah I've been around the block Yeah I've been around these streets I mean, you've been

more than me probably. Probably. I went out two times in college. Oh, buddy, dude, Bogies is a spot now. Bogies is a spot. We would go there and they almost didn't let me in because I had tattoos.

It thought you was a gangster. Yeah, look at me. You hear my voice? I'm not a gay shirt. Yeah, but all your tats. Come on. Yeah, I had just my form. Just a forum, just a forum done and a red t-shirt

and they're like, hey, you can't come in. And I had my ears pierced that in, too. Like, no piercings and no tattoos showing. And then eventually the manager came up and he's like, yeah, you can just come in. But Bogies is really so much fun. But what I was really getting to with the Louisiana stuff is that the food there is you can't eat healthy in Louisiana. What's the deal? You guys just don't believe in health?

You guys don't like that? Thick lives matter, man, you know? That's what it's about. That's what it's about, you know, the seafood. I think it's just the culture we have done, man. The seasoning, you know what I mean? And, you know, guys like us, well, like myself. No, we're big and fast, so that's what we breed down there.

Where do the best athletes come from in New Orleans? New Orleans. Yeah, you tell me. Some people say Louisiana, right? But they have a lot of competitive, like, schools go out. Yeah, but. They argue about who the best high school is, how many guys come out of there. Yeah, but everything is in New Orleans, though.

Like, a lot of people say, you know, some people, somebody, somebody might say, I'm from Louisiana. You know, I said, I'm from New Orleans. Yeah. Because it's a different culture. It's different on that. You know what I mean? Like, my high school, you know, it was. It was me, Tyra Matthew went in my high school.

Lorenzo Adolfs, Trey Turner. So we have a lot of guys who went there, and I played with Trey my freshman year. So I was the only freshman to play on varsity at that run that time. You just been him since the beginning, huh? Yeah, number one ninth grader, number one player coming to my senior year. Himmy Fournett, dude. This man's really just been playoff himmy. So you're always picked first in school for all sports.

You can say that, yeah. When did you know I'm going to leave? To be honest. Yes, we went honesty on this. To be honest, like, when I guess my second year, LSU. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I thought I was going on in the fourth grade.

Yeah, I thought it was going to be like, yeah, I was just in puberty. No, no, because you got to think about, like, you know, I went through some shit. You know what I mean? I got put out of six schools coming up. So I had to. Oh, you got pulled out of six schools coming out? Put out for fighting, all type of things. So I went to St. Aug, St. August is like a, it's all boys, black,

school, you know, trying to kind of help you with your behavior and things like that, because we had the paddle. You know what I mean? Yeah, with the holes in it? Yeah. For discipline and things like that. So, carry on. I came in number one player, so I got my sophomore year, right?

I'm talking about, this is a true story. My mom, if you watch this, you know. I mean, my mother retired from work. For real. Yeah. When? My sophomore in high school, I mean, in college. So you were getting paid in college?

No, I thought I was going to make it. Really? Yeah. I love that. So my first four games, rushed for a thousand yards, after that it was history. It was over. It was over with.

You did have a crazy highlight. You made her retire before you even went to the league. Definitely. Now, did you get a little something to go to the other? I wish I did. Eli. I would have, hey, trust, look, they would have seen it. I was about the baddest car they had.

Were other schools you know, other schools you were trying to offer? We were trying to offer that little, you know, that little envelope, that little brown bag. Alabama, Ole Miss. So, my two schools were LSU and Alabama. Britain Burns went to my high school, the running back coach at Alabama. Yeah.

And Frank Rooson went to my high school, the runnerback coach at LSU. So it was so hard for me because, like, the backgrounds we have is the same thing. You know what I mean? So it just came, you know, I had a daughter around that time, too. And I went to Alabama, like, during the offseason,

like, just to check them out of things like, that, it's boring as shit up there. It's boring as hell. So I'm like, I'm like, coach, this ain't for me, coach. I got to go way back and forth to see my kids and things like that. I just stayed home, man, because before that,

Landon Collins was the number of playing Louisiana. He went to Bamma. And I remember how much hate he got for that. I mean, they was mad at the shit at Landon, too. Where's Lennon from? New Orleans. From New Orleans? Yeah.

Everyone's from New Orleans. Where's Odell from? New Orleans. Oh, he's nice. You from New Orleans? Yes. Do y'all have the best? Is Baton Rouge?

Does Baton Rouge have anybody? Uh, I mean, there's probably definitely some. Who? Oh, Edward's Aller. Yeah. Does New Orleans produce the best players in the game? I don't know, New Orleans small. You know, you got Florida, too.

You know what I mean? Florida's a state. Florida's a different world now. The city of New Orleans. You can say that. You can say that. I mean, you look up, look up some of the great names we come from my high school.

Like, I'm talking about just athletic wise. Just put Sanagg. Fuck, I don't know what you'll put on there. San Ag best athletes. San Diego athletes in New Orleans. You have basketball players. When you're done it, you to play in New Orleans? No, no.

Are you going to live in New Orleans? Sorry. No, no, I'm not. You've been hype in New Orleans the whole time. Yeah, but it's too close to family. Like, why would I do that? Marshall Falk? Jesus.

Peyton Manning and Reed? Peyton came from New Orleans? Yes. Don't, come on. Louisiana. I don't think he's from New Orleans. Oh, no, he is from New Orleans. He's from New Orleans. Parentheses. Don't play, nah. Ed Reed, Terry Bradshaw. Matt 14. Look at the name. This is crazy.

Kevin Mouye, Hall of Famer. Anius Williams, Hall of Famer. Come on, now, that's my guy, Real Park. Eli Manning? Pete Manning? Yes, sir. Warren Dunn. So, New Orleans is really like that. Come on, huh. Deck, Prescott? I forgot about deck. Yeah.

Oh, man. Ben Simmons. Jervis, Landry. Bring up Ben Simmons again. I love Ben. He took a lot of, he took a, he's taking a lot of heat because apparently he like sits out of injuries and stuff like that. I don't know.

It sounds like, you know. I think there's somebody here that knows all about that. There is somebody here that would be able to confirm if you have a dog in or hey, hey, Benny, what's up? Hey, Benny, what's up? How's your elbow? Yeah. Talk to Ben, bro.

Ben is doing fine, man. You know, we all go through our own things. Yeah. So we're talking about sitting out. So when I set out, I was the first person to skip a bowl game or whatever, right? And it was rewriting history And it was on my ass

When I came to the draft and things like that There was questions that Do I love the game of football Things like that But Just put the tape on They don't know I played the whole year hurt

What'd you hurt? I got a had a high A little angle spring But I played I heard it When in training camp We had a game against Wisconsin Two weeks later

I still played On a bummed ass ankle Right So my thing was How can you question my passion for football when I'm still playing half the season with a bum ankle. That's when I ran for 16 carries, 284 against Ole Miss when I ran over

the dude, things like that. On the hurt ankle. Hey, that's fucking, the limit is so crazy. Would you say you're the best running back in college football history? So it's a lot of guys. I can't, I can't. I can't really say that. I can't really say that. What about who's another good back? Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers.

And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to us.

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 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. And 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?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, 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.

Network available on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I want him to continue to elaborate on him, the whole sit-out thing.

Hold on, hold on. I heard what you say it, right? We'll get back to that. We'll get back to that. We'll get back to that. That'll be a fun one. All right, all right. Because I know who's side I'm taking. Because I think you're trying to preserve yourself for your future. Definitely. For compensation, for going to the league. Yeah. The Ben Simmons situation, the compensation's already there. You're already in the league.

were in playoff time. Does that sound like he's like a playoff bennie? I don't know. I feel like everyone goes through their own problems, their own situations, and you never know what's on their mind or how they feel. Yeah. You know what I mean?

For my job, my goal is because Ben is my brother. I check on Ben. Yeah. Make sure mentally he's okay. You know what I mean? Because at the end of the day, football is just something we do. That's not who we are.

At the end of the day, you all go through the mental battle. Of course, you play football. You know how it was. You know how it was, too. Yeah. It could get rough. Some dark times out there

Especially when you're trying to Be the best you can be You have other problems going on So I don't know That's kind of like a that's a hard situation Because I've been toad too And I know how I felt Like even when I got cut from Jacksonville too

Like I was I wasn't so hurt I was just embarrassed Yeah I've been number one my whole life And then you get cut And you get cut And the feeling of what hey GM wants to see you

Yeah definitely which I've never experienced that before You know what I mean So when I came up to Like 7 3rd in the morning getting ready for eat breakfast and things like that. They say, hey, coach won't see you. But I'm thinking he wanted to talk to me because, you know,

I made the team practice like that, you know, we had the things going on with the Black Lives Matter thing, right? And we had a big, big back and forth thing. Go, should we practice or should we go in front of the police station and, you know, take a stand? My biggest thing, like, we did the marches, we did everything, right? We did all that. One day of us is going to front of the police station.

It's not going to change it. Not going to change nothing. Yeah. You know, let's go put this work in. And we took account as a team and that's what we did. And I felt like the next day, that's what it was about. He cut me, you know? And that's when I had to really understand the business of the NFL of football.

Was there my fault? What did he say to you when they cut you? Like how they handle that situation? Because was there anything at all to you that was like, this might happen? No. Was there contract talks going on and you were kind of like a cap casualty? You got to think about it. So this one, they got rid of Jellin.

Mm-hmm. They rid of Yonik. They got rid of Kaleas. So there's a lot of guys who... Jacksonville time. Yeah, who made the team was... Those are good players, too. Like, I know Yonik, he's a good leader.

I play with them at the Raiders last year. He was like a... Like, when he spoke, you listened. Yeah. Kaleas seemed like he came in and changed Jacksonville. Yeah. They brought him over from Arizona, and it kind of seemed like he just revamped everybody.

Mm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So was there a coaching change that year? No. Why do you think you got cut? We just ain't see eye to eye. You know, it'll be times like the 2019 season

and we lost a couple of games where I was like six, seven points and they get on a plane and just smiling, happy. I mean, I'm not built like that. You know what I mean? So when you go to question the coach, like, man, you're doing all this, man. We're losing. Like, what's up? Yeah.

Like, I know how I feel to win and what happens. to our team and you're talking about the money and things like that. When you win, that's when all that comes. And I just think he didn't respect me how I came at him. I mean, that's all I knew. I got a father who was hard as shit on me. You know, just keeping it real. You know, so when he said, man, if you have a problem,

come talking to me like a man, I had a problem. Yeah. We losing. How can we fix this? Right. I want to win. Now, when you look back at that conversation, how did you approach it? Was it like a, did you come at him?

Or was it like, a closing door age? Let me highlight you like. Yeah. We walked in the middle of the aisle, talk. And from my understanding, I felt like he understood me. But I guess it's two alpha males going at it or whatever the case. So now I just carried on to the next offseason. You know, we walk by each other in the hall.

No, don't say a word. But then you're my coach. You know, you're my head coach. No matter how old I am, you're a man, I'm a man. I'm respect you. You go tell my coach, well, Lenin ain't why Lynn and not talking to me. You come ask me that. Right. And I tell you why.

Like, I'm not going to hide my hand, throw a rocket high man. I'm going to tell you what's on my mind. So it was just about time for me to get out there, man. That's wild, dude. So when you, all right, so you get cut. After you get cut, how long are you on the street until? Like a week. A week.

I just wanted to take time. Clearly, I remember that headline. It's like, Leonard Fornett. I was like, let's go. You know what I'm saying? We got to play them twice a year. And every time you play Lennie, it's like, hey, we got to stop the run. Yeah.

You got to stop the run. this guy, he's going to get the ball 30 times a game. Yeah. So for us, the Titans, and for whatever reason, when you were there, like, we would just, even when you guys were Saxonville, for some reason, we just win. Yeah.

You know? Say it, man, like, you... Yeah, I'll get you guys. Relaxville's number. You got out of number. You'd be good at any moment. I'm saying back then. Yeah.

Back then, every year's a new year. So you're on... My words, Titans got that Jacksonville at. Would you relax? Hey, Rable's now putting this up in a team meeting. You're making me look like... Will, though, that's not your words. He's hearing you like, hey, Will, Will,

I'm just saying. Headlines all say the same thing. Busting with the boys say, hey, Titans beat the Jacksonville's ass. That is true. And it's just a photo, I quote, tweeted. It's just a photo of me fucking just flexing it for the camera. Just flexing the entire time. So you're on the street for a week.

And I'm sure there's a bunch of teams calling you. How soon after you get cut do you go from being like kind of sad, upset to be like, okay, this huge, huge opportunities out here. I can kind of go where I want to go. No, I was still pissed off about it. Yeah. You still mad now? Like even when, huh?

You mad right now? No, not right now. No, you good? I'm good. All right. Chip on your shoulder you carry with you because obviously it's like a humbling thing to... Yeah, you got to it because even when time reached out to me, you know, I'm like, I might go here, I might now.

I don't know. I was still like, at the time, I just didn't really care. You know what I mean? I just wanted to spend time with my kids and just just whatever. Just be mad. Yeah, I'm going to keep it real. Like, that's one of the... I don't wish that on nobody.

Yeah, sometimes you just want to be mad for a couple of days. Yeah, yeah. I get it. So I went to Tampa, you know what I mean, started playing and things like that. Still pissed off about it. Like, I'm with a whole new team. I'm forced to learn a whole new playbook and things like that. And then, you know, got to me in the midseason, and I wasn't starting.

First time my life ever got to play behind somebody. So that shit ran me high. Maddest shit at each and every day coming into work. So then we played against. Carolina away in Carolina. And got on the plane. We won a game with that got on the plane. I'm telling Coach B.A.,

I'm like, man, I need to highlight you. Like, man, y'all told me all this shit about playing. I'm gonna come here and start. And we're in like week nine. And I'm still behind somebody. You know what I mean? So he was like, man, he's like, what you want to do?

I'm like, man, fuck it, release me. In Tampa. In Tampa. And this is a conversation where you're like, release me. Yeah. And he was like... Now, did you make that decision emotionally?

Or did you really have, like, think about it? It was emotionally, probably. Because if you go from Jacksonville, get cut, go to Tampa. It's my ass. And then a month later, or two months later, they're like, Leonard Burnett asked to be released. Yeah. Then it's all of a sudden, like, hey, you don't want to touch this guy.

It was from emotion standpoint of view. You know what I mean? And the thing, what I respect about, Coach B.A., he's old school, too. he was like, well, motherfucker, I don't want to cut you. But if you want to, I'm, I'll do it. He's like, man, you're a great player. One of the best I've seen just down the third. He's like, man, just make the decision and let me know when we make it home.

And I would think about my kids, my family, you know, this how I provide for my kids. Are certain guys reaching out to you? Do you, do they, are they aware of the situation? No. No. This happened on the plane. Oh, damn. It's on the plane.

I see Lenny in the exit row mad as fuck. No one talking to him right now. now. Check this out. I'm like, yeah, let's get that phone. Dude, hey, for real, that's exactly how I probably went. Hey, man, you see this?

And it's this. All right. It's on the plane, so I had to make the decision. And from there on, man, like, I flourish. What change in your mind from that conversation saying, hey, release me, sitting there, fuming on the plane.

And then obviously it had to be, what, 24 hours before we had another conversation? Yeah. What changed your mind to say, hey, don't release me? Like, do you think I'm just going to beat this dude out? Who's starting in front of you? Ronald Jones. Okay.

I don't know my my, I thought about my kids, man I thought about my, really my family, you know, because just the whole year they was there for me, talking to me, pushing me, you know, just trying to keep my head on and swivel, make sure I'm doing the right thing. So, I mean, I just keep fighting. You know, you never know what's at the end of the tunnel.

Be honest. I get that. That's, that's, that's, that's, uh, that's a wild timeline. Yeah, and now he's like become playoff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah.

The playoff Lenny stuff is hilarious, by the Going back on the Jacksonville stuff, like you hear a lot of stories. I don't know. Did you ever play with Marshall Spate? No. But Spate was a linebacker that was in Washington, and then he ended up going to Jacksonville. We ended up playing them in the game. And then afterwards, he's like, bro, playing in Jacksonville is fucking wild.

You got coaches fighting on the sideline, players fighting on the sideline, just like a real toxic organization. Oh, dude. Back in that, back in that back. Yeah, I don't think we ever have fights on things like that with the coaches. bro even last year Miles Jack we were playing them it was at home

and Miles Jack's like it was like the end of the game where winning he was like just get us out of here like why are we calling time out we're trying to run it like four minutes and he's like we just stop calling time out like let's just get the fuck out of here like great guy dude I'm a fan of Miles Jack

freak athlete bro that dude can move but when you're you know it's on the friend it's on like Rayble will never let that happen you know what I'm saying of like if that was a situation that you heard about

Yeah, I think there's a difference between hearing. You like Grave, because Brab's a dude that he's going to shoot you straight. And he always says his big catchphrase is, I'm going to treat you how you treat the team. And so if you're out there, you're working, he's going to treat you right. Yeah. And guys that aren't, he's going to get on your ass. Yeah. So going back to, I won't, I've heard stuff, but I won't ask about ice cream and cakes,

but let's talk about some memories at LSU. The Pain Cave. What's the Pain Cave? Oh, the Pan Caves. So they made a wooden gym, right? and we have the lift in there. It's fun memories, you know what I mean? What happens? A wooden gym?

Yeah. So what's y'all do in there? We just lift. We had to lift. Lift to wood? Waits. But attached to wood. Basically.

Google the pain cave, dude. See if we can get a picture of this thing. Don't have it on a... Oh, it's just like a secret society at LSU. You can't see nothing in there, huh? Oh, man. Was this the thing that happened when you got in trouble or something? Well?

Like the pain cave. Is this like a punishment? No, it's just, it was like our way room was getting built. Mm-hmm. And this just made, like, a wooden re-room in the indoor or whatever the case may be, and just live wheat to know. Oh, I got you. Is there any more context to ice cream and cakes?

Ice cream and cakes? Ice cream and cakes. What is that? What is that? I was told to ask you about ice cream and cakes. Who told you to ask me about that? Can't give up my sources. A good reporter never gives up his sources.

I believe it. He seemed to think that Lenny would really laugh at that. And clearly there's been no reactions. Yeah, we're in a tough stall at this point. I feel like maybe I was giving some bad information. Right now we're looking bad. Probably was. He said, say it exactly like this.

I won't ask you about ice cream and cakes, but let's talk about your time at LSU. Ice cream and cake. He goes, looks at me. He just goes, okay. Look, it's my guys, Levante and Vita. Oh, they're here? I love them.

He said I love them. Are you guys a close group, Tampa? We are. You guys really like that? Yeah. Where's Tom been? What's he up to? Oh, he's chilling, man.

I love Tom. Well, everybody loves Tom. We love Tom. I love Tom. I don't even know Tom, but I love Tom. Y'all love him. Outside the football field. But when y'all play against him.

What about with him? Yeah, obviously we don't like him when we play against him. But, like, you're kind of flex on us because you know Tom. Well, that is. That is. He's really just the goat of all goats, right? Best athlete of all time. He works his ass off.

There's no question. Like, the physical standpoint, he might not be the biggest. You know what I mean? We've seen the photos. Yeah, we saw his... The mental aspect of it, though? He'll fry your shit. He was miced up or you were miced up or something like that,

and he's going to fake a play action and goes cover two. Like, tells him, I remember that cover two. See what you know what's it. Yeah, yeah. So you just don't really have to think. Does he make your game easier? I mean, having a great quarterback makes anybody games easier. You know what I mean?

Yeah, but as far as... But now... But now... Yeah, he does. But now, like, you had guys like Hulu. Got Mike, got Chris have to come back. Yeah.

We shall see. How's Julio doing there? He's great, Moutley, and he's funny as shit. Is he practicing a lot? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. He is. He's going, huh? He's going. I saw him in Paz the first day. He's happy. Oh, my God. Damn.

That was just the heat of the moment football. Definitely. And I was joking about the whole ass. I mean, I didn't know that you got like hit in the mouth or something. No, actually, I didn't even see it. I didn't know he started it and then he's all mad. He was walking away. Lettie, what's wrong?

Yeah. I forget who I heard it from, but I just heard he wasn't in and he just comes out of nowhere to go like fight Jeff Simmons. Because he wasn't even. It was over with it. It was in a practice. There's the last play. We can all go home now. It was the last prayer of practice, right?

We did the two-minute thing or whatever. They catch the interception. Then the second team went. And then he came out on the sideline. He was talking shit to one out of the line. I'm like, I'm going to break it up, really. Yeah. He was like, what the fuck you doing?

I don't, hold on. Listen. What? We just met, and I'm really trying to navigate our new friendship. What? But you can put the film on, so you're not trying to bring shit up. Your team's over there. You can be walking at Jeff.

But we had a play over there. Yeah. So it's a hundred of y'all, two of us. Then he already chirping at him the whole practice. Yeah. So, you know what? Got to think fast. What did you say?

Can't really say it right here. Yeah. So it was something that instigated a fight. You wasn't really trying to break it up. The film was all. The film stayed on. Like, the play was over, and they kept the cameras running. All right.

Did they pull it up? They both swung first then. Jeff. All right. That is. But who said words first? We both were saying words. Oh, no.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, he wasn't. Bro, I'm telling you, here's what happened. The play's done. Teams are literally walking in like this. You see one guy, you, walking this way, and you see Simmons, literally, he says something,

whatever, turns around and takes three full steps. And then, no, to our sideline, the day is over. We're bringing it up. Why he turned back? And then you, because you fucking over the mouth, dude. Big-ass white teeth, dude. You see him say yelling something and Jerry turns around and you can see just as somebody, what did you say?

Bink and hit him. But then you came back with two. You got two. You got two pieces and a biscuit real quick, just real fast. And then all of a sudden, a lot of blue jerseys. A lot of blue jerseys, yeah. Behind the enemy on that Trask, the quarterback. You piece of shit.

Were you wondering where all the red jerseys were? No, I didn't care. I'm going to hold my own now. That's one thing about me. I know how to fight. You know how to fight. It's 90 of us. Yeah.

I'm going on my own. I'm going to be on. One, three. The more things they can do is jumping out. They're going to kill me. Right? Well, we could. 90 guys on one, we could easily kill you.

How? You're going to get charged for murder, then what? That's what you're saying? Not all of us. All y'all. We'd have a ball guy. Like that four-string guy? And guess what?

I'm bringing the whole New Orleans to Tennessee. No, you're dead. No, no, no. They're going to ride for me if I'm dead. You don't know New Orleans to come out here. Hey, New Orleans. You don't want to mess in New Orleans now. Definitely.

That's you, baby. I'm a new guy. Come on now. He's stud. I think he's from, uh, ninth ward? New Orleans.

I'm out of seven ward. Yeah. You gotta know. That's why I, that's why I went number seven. Really? From my hood, yeah. Man, you could have brought that up

in the beginning. Yeah. That's why I got, that's actually, that's why I got this on right now. No, you have the sevens for me, I thought. Nah, we ain't,

that's too, that's too much. Yeah, that's too much. Even though. I'm like, this day I got tattooed for me. Should we get into our tear talk? We got to get into it. So, you know, are you familiar with our tier talk?

No. Basically, we tear, it's like our top three things. Yeah. But we just call it tier talk. Okay. But our tier talk for this show is going to be fast food breakfast. Ooh. Now Waffle House is fast casual.

Like, it has to have a drive-thru. Yeah, this is, you can't say Waffle House. That's not. Hey, I'll tell you what, Waffle House is a fire breakfast spot. We can just put that in God tier to make you, make you happy. Yeah, yeah. You said, though, like, Waffle House has its holes, man. It's better than, but if you looked at all the other places.

No, I think it's good, but I'm just saying. It doesn't have a toll. It's the same. No, if you're looking for, hey, if you're hung over. What the fuck? I'm dying by Waffle House. They just don't know. If you're hung over, there's really no a better spot to go.

The Waffle House. Get the hash brown, smothered, covered. I don't know, man. Get it all done. Oh, you, you, you know, you did that a couple of times. What's you're talking about? Yeah. But if you look at Waffle House, Waffle House beats out I-Hawpits out Denny's.

Does it beat out Crackerboro? Yes. I think Cracker Barrett is good. Crackabill... All of it. You're talking about the menu. I love Cracker Barrow pancakes. Really?

The best. I'm not even a pancake guy, really. Waffle guy? I'm a waffle guy. You childish. Dude, you're literally eating cake for breakfast. What are you talking about? That's the most childish thing you can do.

Cake is ice cream. You know what the fuck fast. We got to call him. Oh my God. All right. So, are we going to do the back, too? All right. So basically how this is going to go, you're going to go first.

This is tough. I feel for you. It's going to be fast food spots. These are just references you're looking at here. So you're going to go your top three. Your number three, you're number two, and you're number one. And feel free to give as much of an explanation as you like. And if you want an honorable mention, you're more than welcome to do that too.

Okay. I'll give you a minute. Oh. Boss. So I'm sitting here with your boy. Playoff Lenny. And I say exactly what you said. I'm not going to talk about ice cream and cakes, but let's talk about your time at LSU.

He looked at me and just goes, okay. And then I said, I'm lost, Fawes. I pivoted to the pain cave. And then I tried going back. I'm like, what's going on with ice cream? He says, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm lost. Foss, what is that?

Nah, I don't know if I remember. I don't know if I remember, Lenny. I don't know if I remember either. Okay, so listen. Maybe it's like a side conversation not to have a one. Let's clarify this, right? You ready? That's clarified.

Do you listen to me, Foss? Yeah. What is your last name? Oh, shit. Shit. Last time I checked, shit started with an F. Right, but,

but what last name? My brother right there, right? He said, he said, you're his guy, you're like, you're his fifth four-knit brother. Or, yeah,

yeah, fifth four-knit brother, but you can't really be in the family because you're wife. As long as he knows, as long as he knows I'm not his son, yeah, we strike.

All right, that's all I had because they said they call you on the whole ice cream and cakes. You fucking, you beautiful bastards. I love you, Bob. I'll say it.

All right, bro, I love you too. What a squad, dude. What a crew. You tell Lenny's loved by his teammates. You can tell. We're going to see how they interact when we all, we're going to watch that. Make sure you get on film. Because if Lenny just walks at the door, we know Tampa's in trouble. All right. Top three, I kind of gave him the rundown.

You can do, you have to do your tier three. And then two and then number one for you. And I told them you can give an honorable mention. I myself, I'm not ready. I'm not prepared. So I'm anxious to do it. I feel my heart beating. Can I speak to honest truth?

Go ahead. I never had a Starbucks breakfast. That's okay. Yeah, yeah, I think. I've never had it. When I do have my free time off-season, my daughter, I bring her to every day to go for school. She loves white, hot cocoa.

Like $17. Right? The white mocha? Yeah, whatever. It's like $17. That shit is too high. Too high. Starbucks is getting a little crazy.

I love Starbucks, though. Yeah, you're Starbucks over Duncan? I know. the owners. With the owner. Of Duncan and Starbucks? No, of Starbucks. Yeah, Starbucks.

Starbucks over Duncan, for sure. I wish. You invested? Soon. Let's go, buddy. All right. Yeah, so start with three. Again, you can throw in an honorable man.

Three. Three. Man. McDonald's, because it's just my childhood thing for me. The Meggrittle. Lyskit. Love it.

Yeah, that sounds. Two? Burk. That's breakfast? Obviously Not yours too. There's some fresh toasticks and it kind of fucking kick a little bit

But... Oh man, I never knew that. You do have breakfast. You don't have to pick off this list either. Like, if you're thinking, like, if you're driving around and you want fast food breakfast, like what three spots are you trying to go to?

But every spots I never heard of, though. That's okay. That's okay. You could do your day. You might get drugged by the internet, but that's, you know... And the all that's between you and them. Yeah, yeah.

I'll fuck one of y'all up. It's not if there's nine. 90, though. There's 90 Twitter people. We didn't that fight, bro. So, in New Orleans, got this famous place called Mamas. Mamas?

Why, yeah. What do they serve? Anything you won't. Really? Is it fast food? Are we talking about you? Like, they have a drive-thru. Nah.

You can't do that. All right, drive-thru. Damn, bro. There you go again. You don't have draft. You got to walk in and, you know, get your stuff, old school. All right, well, I love Chick-fil-Lee.

So is that your two? I just stopped right there. I ain't got an honorable mention. I just stopped at Chick-fil-A. So you got three and two and you're fucking, you're like, no one. No one. You don't have a number one.

No, I don't have a number one. That's wild. And that's what we should put in there. I don't have one. You got to think about it. Like, what we're from? Like, our breakfast spots or like our gas stations? You're not going to...

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 a podcast. it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So 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. Oh, 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.

Listen to deeply well with Debbie Brown from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Tell me on not having a favorite. Listen, listen, our gas used to cook better than half of these on here. What are you shaking your head for, Garrett? You're not from New Orleans.

I can imagine like, yeah, again, listen, listen, look, mama, work to my mother and my kids. I was late to school

and high school every day. Every day, right? Because I believe it. I do believe it. In breakfast. If you got pulled from six schools, I do not doubt for a second that you were late every day to school.

Every day. I stop at mamas and it's so donuts too. Get my whole class donuts. Oh, you never get in trouble. But what? He was the, man, dude. He was the man.

It must have been amazing being number one. it's on the bus because everybody, he's like the gas station we got in little, everybody back there's out. He's like, what he says. He said, he says. He was like two minutes late, but, you know, it's right around the corner, like right down the street,

walking distance. So I just drive there. I wait, I put my order in, wait for it, to school, feeding my whole team. And you couldn't go two minutes earlier? Oh, bro. I love, I live way some well.

This man doesn't have a tier one. I'm literally blown away right now. Why, though? I'm blowing away, because then just go one and two and don't have a three. Hey. No, no, no. But you've already set yourself in stone.

Yeah, I probably, like three and two. There's no one. No one. I love it. I'm just blown away that that's how that's... Just put Mamas, I wish. If they were allowed. That's the goal.

I don't have one. Would you say Beny's are overrated? Or is that just a tourist thing? Mm, it depends. Okay. I've had it my whole life, so I can go without. Yeah, you've had, you've... Are you trying to figure out if you're a man in New Orleans or

Like if you just did like a Hattie Bees thing. I'm from New Orleans. We're Garden District. Okay. So let's, hold up. Now, let's talk about the Tad of Bees chicken, right? All right. I got a, I got an issue with that right now, right?

Speak your truth. Yeah. You know, we had it a couple days ago. Yeah. Who's we? The whole team? All right. Now did they bring a whole bunch of food there?

They brought, they had the everything, the spicy, the hot chicken, the tenders, whatever. They catered it. They brought it in. They catered it. So you already know, food's always better when you go to places than when you get it buffet style. Just as long as you understand that before you say what you're going to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, if you, if you, you've obviously played, what are you talking about? Think about when you get California and they all get a bunch of in-and-out burger for people. Burgers are a little soggy. Burgers are a little... Oh, that's my best that's what I need, bro. My best burger spot? Yeah, don't. I swear to God, if there's one in my head, if you say one, the interview's over.

Let me tell you, you might have ever, get ready. I don't like getting out. Get ready. I don't, I hate Waterburger. All right. No disrespect to that. Sorry, you're seeing nothing from that. You're trending the way I need you to trend.

What else? What's your, what's your number one spot? Okay, what's your number two spot? Because you don't do number one. What I'm talking about? Burgers. Burgers? Oh, man.

The Baconator. Oh, Wendy's. Oh, fire. Bro, running back, dude. Fire. Derek's is a few shit. Oh, we got to talk about that, too. We were arguing, vein sticking out of our neck about what the best person is.

He loves Wendy's is the best fast food. What? He says Wendy's is the best fast food. The best fast food burger. Yeah, he probably says best fast food, too. I mean, if you're... The nuggets from Wendy's. Fire.

What's another burger? Because we all know what I'm trying to get him to say. He's trying to get to five guys. You like five guys? Love five guys. There we guys, what we need, big dog. Bro, I never knew. That's the most basic thing I've heard from you.

Why? I just thought you were innovated. You're talking about... You're talking about it. My man seems like he seems outside... It's a perfect idea. You eating the penis while while you're waiting on your food, you know?

You're just making sense. What are you doing? Hyping them up. Talk to him. This is fucking crazy, dude. You don't like in and out. No. Have you ever been to this place?

I have. You went inside. I went to one in California. What'd you get? I don't know. Some shit had my stomach hurting for weeks. He's from New Orleans. I know.

I know. I know. Listen, I don't get it. Everything to have is pride. What? The beginning of that conversation was like, if you get chick fletland, after a game, it don't taste the same as when you go into Chick-fil-A and order Chick-fil-A. Fax.

Who says that? I do. I do, too. I think I would rather go in and order. When you guys go on away games, like who, there's always food there. What do you guys have? We bring our own food. I'm saying, but they have food there, too, don't they?

Come on, like, on a plane, they have chicken-lay away for us. Everybody literally brings their own food. Really? A hundred to 100 wings from Wingstop, Chick-fil-A's, burgers, nuggets. Wingstop is fire. You get the rookies to go. No, no, no. The older guys goes sometimes, too.

Can you. Take it easy, brother. Yeah. Like, we don't, we don't. Like, we let people live. That boy has no judgment on food. I respect it. Yeah.

But I think it's just, it's mind-blowing to think that, like, if you get something cater- This is what I want you to do, right? I'm going to see you a PJ. Okay. Right? And I'm all in. I'm going to let my mother cook for us. Done.

We'll be there. We'll film the whole thing. Red beans. I want. Bell peppers. Sure. Cheesecake. Sure.

See less. But you didn't say a protein at all in there. You just said a bunch of it. You just said, this off time. This is 270-Lennie right now talking to you. Okay. Yeah. Hey.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. My roommate in college, his name's named Terrence Moore from New Orleans. Proud New Orleans. Yeah.

Yeah. And his mom would come up and make, like, the red beans, the rice. Diggless. Calm bread. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it is fire. It's like a home-cooked meal. What's the vibe on crawfish for you?

For me, right? Yeah. I eat 15 pounds by myself. Man, I see, I'm not sold on crawfish. No. Wait a lot. Way too much work. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You're not just going to have a bucket of crawfish to yourself. Like, you're going to have a little barbecue on. Hold on a whole lot. Hold on. Hey, so you're going to have a little barbecue out there. What? It's just too much work for a little ass meat. Dude, I'm trying to get some meat out of my, you know, if I'm working.

You know what I'm saying? No, no falls, man. No, pa. Hey, I'm with you. I'll support you in this, dude. I'm telling you. No, crawfish is awesome, but it's a social thing. Yeah, yeah.

You know what I'm saying? You're not eating enough. you just eat some of the potatoes, some of the corn in there too. Wait for a couple batches to go so it's extra spicy. Yeah. And you're good. Yeah. So you don't like had any bees.

Is that what you're trying to get at? You got to go to princes. Hadd his bees, okay. But while I'm from, Manchu is the place. Manchu. M-A-N-C-H-U. Yes. Listen, to me.

My people back home, they know. I love how he engages with you. I love how to watch you can get a 10-piece, right? 10-piece, a 7-99 with double-friar rice. Yeah, it's definitely not organic. JP back day, call my name. J.P. would blow up.

Should I get into my two talk? Yeah, yeah, sorry. Yeah, that is. We went off a little bit there. That is. That is, baby. Cains or Zaxpeas? What? Cains or Zaxpeas. Cains? Yeah, 100%. He keeps going up, dude.

He keeps going up. All right, go ahead. So, just to get it going, because I know we have a couple guests out here, waiting. Yeah. And we have... Big awake! We have... Teer talk, and then our final question brought to us by Roeback, which we'll learn about.

But my tier three, I think Taco Bell's breakfast is very fucking good. I've only did it a couple times because I learned about it through the bird app. I talked about it, the crunch wraps, the... the, it's like the sausage, sausage and a crunch wrap. I'm telling you, Taco Bell breakfast is fire. My number two, hang on, brother. It's, it's, you had your time.

He was, we, we, we, he was very respectful of your time when you were going. Thank you, man. Go ahead. My number two. My number two, Hardee's, I think they're, they're extremely versatile in their menu. Their biscuits and gravy, their sausage, egg and cheese biscuits, all, everything that Hardies does at breakfast time is phenomenal. And their burger, their $5 burger is incredible as well.

You love, what is it, the Western Bacon Cheeseburger? From Carl's Jr. From Carl's Jr. It's like the same thing. It's called the Western what? Western Bacon Cheeseburger. Check it out. You got bacon on there.

You got cheese. You got onion rings. Pork? You're talking about pork. Swine, yes. Swine. You don't eat pork? No.

Okay. You definitely eat pork. You just said the baconators are the best burger. Yeah. That's all season. In season, I don't eat the pork. But this is just a segment of our favorite fast in breakfast. You're living your life.

And number one, you've already alluded to. to it as your tier three for nostalgia, but I think you cannot eat McDonald's breakfast. Like, when you grow up, when your parents take you to a McDonald's breakfast, like, you think you're doing something. And then when you watch Big Daddy and the McDonald's breakfast is kind of built around that scene,

I love them. I think it's just a McGrittle, the little sausage breakfast burritos. They're McMuffins, their biscuits. Those old burritos, I eat like six of them things. Yeah. No problem. And their hot sauce is looking kind of good.

It's like, I like the mystique of calling them hot cakes. You just moved them up from me. And that little styrofoam box, too. Like, it's just... They do a right. So that's my, that's my team. In high school, this is when the hot spicy came off, right? All right, this is pretty, I feel like this is really serious.

I love, huh, yeah, it's serious. So, you know, we play on Saturdays. Okay. I eat at least two high and spices before the game, right? Every game, rush for like $2.90. Okay. So maybe I should have started eating hot spices again. Yeah, unless you play the Italians.

You might be on it. Unless you play Italians, absolutely. You might be on or something. Hot spices. All right, you lost me in the beginning, but I think you picked it up at the end. Just try it. Just in future, like, you know. Yeah. That's good. My tier three is going to be Jack in the Box. From a nostalgic standpoint, as a kid, that's where we would go.

It was right by the ranch or there was a jack in the box. We'd go over there. We get some Brecky. It was really good. My tier two is going to be Carl's Jr., which you referred to as Hardee's. The breakfast burrito at Carl's Jr. is on match, dude. The amount, hold yourself now, the amount of meat in that burrito. Talk about it. Bro, it's thick and there's like, it's not like little specs of meat where it's like, hey, we check the box. You're talking about a piece of ham folded in there, like a big ass piece of ham. Yeah, that's swine. I'm talking about little pieces of sausage. A lot of cheese in there. The egg, it's a great ratio. I think you can beat that. My tier one's got to be

Mickey D's. It's a big turn of McDonald's. It's a big turn of events. It's the more I thought about it. I know. It skipped. With the McGriddle, I think, is probably the best thing they have. It's unreal.

Dude, it's so fucking good. The breakfast burritos are delicious. And the fact that nobody tries to recreate and make their own version of a McGardle. All of them. If they can't figure it out. Maybe they can't. Da-da-da-da-da-da. I just think that.

I think the McGrittle is fantastic. The pancakes, for real. you feel like it's a home-cooked meal. When you get the pancakes. It's awesome. And then obviously I'm a big breakfast burrito guy. I love the hot sauce they have there too. It's outstanding.

Let's go to one thing. You lost me on Taco Bell. I'm telling you try it out. I've only had it a couple times, but it really is like... And it made it to your three after just trying it out. Yeah, trying it out a couple times. You know how you can do a couple, you know... Yeah.

You dip your tone in it a couple times and it can kind of climb the ladder. Another example of that is I learned about Penn State. 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 a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. 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. 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,

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.

Never had it when we did the sandwich tier talk.

And there's a Penn Station over in like the, is it Belmont? Belmont area? Bellevue, Belmont. You live near that area. Either one of those areas. Like there was a Penn Station there and I tried it out and ate it is fire. Tori, if I did the sandwich thing again, I would kind of re-rank some stuff. Really?

Yes, bro. I swear, that shit is fire. You get the Italian heated? Mm-hmm. Say less. I'm telling you, and the meat is packed in. I know I fucking people get me on this all the time, but it is. You hold the sandwich, right?

It is, though, because I went and got Penn Station and Jersey Mikes, because I feel like I never gave Jersey Mikes a real shot, so I would have both sandwiches, Italians on each side by side. And Jersey Mikes is just like, there's too much bread. There's just, there's too much going on. I think Jersey Mikes is delicious. What was the vibe like when you saw A.B. Take his pads off.

I wasn't enough. Game. You weren't there? I was hurt. What was the vibe like around that whole situation? To be honest, I didn't watch the game. I was sleeping. Okay.

Because, like, we're playing the Jets. Outside of the game. Like, what was that whole vibe like? Crazy. Was it something that you were not surprised about? Something that's like what the phone happened? I was definitely surprised. Hey, right?

I was never. The greatest, I wasn't at the game. I was sorry? I was sleeping. My team was playing. Yes, I was. Oh, my. To be honest.

was the Jets. I hurt my hamstring. You know, recovery is the key to get the hand me back. Yeah. What did you think? What did you think when you woke up and you saw that turn of events happen? It was crazy, man. Like my year, my two years that with him, I love A.B.

I mean, no player worked harder than him. That's what I've heard. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, a lot of people. Unanimously, it seems like that's the answer for A.B. Never worked harder than him. But, you know, once again, you know, it's like going back to the Ben, the Ben situation. you know, everybody has their own turn-up events they go through.

But still my boy, we talk every day. You and A.B? Yeah. I bump his music every day. Oh, you like his music? Yeah. Oh, the... Every day.

With that shit on. Can you do the dance? Can you give us a little... Hey. Eric Henry College football. Who you got? Who? Who we got?

Who I got? No, I know who you got. But, like, give me your argument. Why? So, me and Derek used to train with each other, right? And I fuss with them every... We talked about. So you know his last

My sophomore year his last four games he got the ball over 40 something times Uh-huh In the last four games, right? Yeah He played a game, he played one game more than me He wanted to finish with 2,07 yards or whatever And I finished with 1900 and whatever yards But one less game Okay

That saves it all Really Because all I heard in that situation was Derek got 2,000 you didn't You will if you look if you look at the yards If you look up yards per game, yards per year. I know, we've looked it up. Hold on. Hold on.

Hold on. Oh, that's right. We were talking about it here. Whatever in the SEC Russian thing. I had 162 yards per game. No, that's solid. No, no, no, no. It's not, not.

I mean, he's a grown man. Yeah. Me and Boogie would age you up, bro. You think so? Yeah, the shit talk, of course. What shit talk? I'm a little. dog delus u.

Nebraska? Yes, bro. Hold up. Wait till my dog gets on the bus. Levite. Come on in here, boogie. You went to Nebraska, right? Ass.

We wouldn't. Have you heard about Nebraska, Michigan? No. Oh, you haven't heard the news. No. The greatest trophy game in the history of all trophy games is happening November 12th for the first time. The Boston Bull.

Nebraska will fight Michigan to take home a bronze trophy with this. bus on top of it, the Bustin Bowl. For the next eight seasons. I like that. I'm going to say it now. I'm going to say it now. Michigan's going to win every single one of those games. Question. Answer. I don't even with Michigan.

Do you think Michigan could be LSU? Right now? Yes. Right now, yes. Why? He's going to do garbage last year. What that mean? Your head coach uses fake southern accents.

We're going to, yes. Mr. Brian Keller? Yeah. My family out here. Whatever the fuck he was saying He does win everywhere he goes Oh, he wins everywhere I can't believe he left Notre Dame

But why not? You go to LSU I know but he was He had been a forever coach there But think about how much you can The resources you have to win And the guys you already have in New Orleans

Yeah That are gonna just come to LSU Yeah I mean they pay Notre Dame is harder to recruit Because they're in the middle of nowhere I will say this like You guys pay players

You guys pay players There's no question NIL they probably do I don't know You know they did before NIO You're the number one player in the United States? In the world, Craig. Bags were just thrown at you, dude.

Bags were thrown at you. I've heard too many stories from too many other people. So the NIL, right? How much money would you have made? I'm an office alignment. But I have an outstanding personality. I probably had made $7,000. What?

Bro. I'm an offensive lineman. You would have made eight figures. Millions. Plural. Yes, millions. What do you think you would have made based off stuff you see out there? It's the longest last rowback question ever.

Yeah. I don't know because you got to think about when I was in school, they had my beard, my braces, around the whole stadium. Then 7 is like a legendary number there, right? Yeah. So they always had that. I don't know, I probably made $10 million and I was in college. But I would have stayed in college awful years.

You would have? Why not? Because at the NIL now, like I think if like, you left early, right? Yeah. After your junior year. Like, Derek only started one year, won the husband. But keep going. That a ball.

80 times the last four games. My man doesn't slow down. He just keeps fucking going, man. But say he would have been projected a first round pick. What'd you make, what would you make the first year

your deal? Let me think. I was four. Four? Yeah. I don't know. They had to pick early. I mean, of course,

it's on here somewhere. Yeah, but let's just say it was, fuck, I don't know. You guys were both first round picks. Like, what did you guys make in your first year? What number you went? 11. Oh, sir.

Let's just say. I was so hot. Let's just say you made $10 million. Yeah. Like LSU would have had to, like the NIL world would have had to compete with keeping him there.

Well, let's receive 17,8 million on it. That's a four-year deal, four-year rookie deal. So, yeah, you would have to make, like, eight figures to stay at LSU probably. It's like,

why not stay in college another year? He's kind of always looked old like that. Hey, he legit, when he saw him in college playing? Oh, you were like, oh, that's a, Yeah, yeah, that's a grown-a-old man. Yeah.

It's like a piece of paper with the pictures says, I am 12 for the $20 bill in it. It's like when Roshan Evans got to the league. Like, Roshan had the beard, bald head. Yeah. Oh, man. You guys looked like a light. It's a bald head.

With the ballad. Yeah, yeah, he did. Hey, I'll tell you. He went to high school with Ruben Foster. That was a sign. He was a sign. It was more than my four years. My first.

Got right back up. Yeah. But it was more than my first four years. He was a dog. I mean, you're a dog, dude. It doesn't fucking matter, bro. It doesn't count. Ruben Foster, like,

late licked him, bro, in college. You can do it? No, dude, I don't. We're all about no pause here. We're all about the no pause. Yeah. Yeah. We don't let things ride around here.

You know what I'm saying? Do it. Do it. I did it in my mind. Appreciate you for coming on, bro. Yeah, dude, that was awesome. Hey, something about the running backs, bro. Him and Melvin, Gordon?

Bro. I mean, there's an argument about him versus Derek, him and Melvin. Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what?

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick.
