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. 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. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite on Humor Me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform?

We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where SportsSlice comes in.

I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports and giving you the real story behind the headlines. And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear.

Like, it is so cool that four years ago from a gravel parking lot using our phones as the Wi-Fi as a hot spot on Wi-Fi, we had to go. We had to steal electricity from a, from a, like, basically campsite for our Vs are. to get electricity through a generator to kind of do all of this.

And we sat out in 90-something degree weather. We were in the middle of the summer. And now we are in a warehouse. But to our tier ones who have followed us the entire time, you guys know the drill.

Enjoy the episode. It's like he wanted to smoke the whole game, what you love to see in a corner. When you know your corner, because that's like the hardest position to play, period. He has left tackle, yeah, absolutely. I think that's very debatable. I think corner, I would say corner than left tackle,

in my professional opinion. Yep. What do I know nine years in the league? Whoa, whoa, what is that? Practice squad one year. What does that mean? You're trying to take my practice squad year away? Putting it, paying my dudes on practice squad?

What do you know about practice squad, big dog? I don't know shit about practice squad. I know you don't. Exactly. But you're saying that's not an earned year. Like, that's not a year. You're like not kind of. You expect a year in the lead that year.

So you're trying to, you're trying to say like, I got eight to your nine is what you're trying to come up with. Is that what you're trying to do? You're about to have eight to my 10, homie. Are you playing it? You playing for sure? Huh? I have 10.

I don't know what you're talking about. You had 10. Year 10 was there. It was there. I was called a. I. I don't disagree with that, but I was there. I was there.

You were there. I was there. I'm with you. Touch me. Don't fucking put that bad at me. You should I say in eight years? That's fucking crazy. That's crazy.

And that's just the way cookie crumbles, buddy. That's just how it is. You don't think your practice squad year counts? Absolutely. All right. You're trying to say that you can't roll in the practice squad year. You can say I play nine years and late. Like that practice squad year,

Week 17, one tack-long kickoff, got activated. I just didn't get three credited games. So I played in a game in 2013. That's crazy. That's crazy that you're trying to steal year eight. Here's what-Elwan is officially trying to steal year eight, and I will not sleep until I find my revenge in some way. It's going to be a long 20-23, brother.

The insecure ones are always so loud. The insecure ones are always so loud, dude. Listen, you were unprided squad your first year. You got nine years in the league. You spent nine years in the league. And you had your 10. You had your 10. Trust me, I heard it.

I heard it. I heard it. We have. We're literally on camera right now. You'll have it forever. I heard the 8. I said 8. I heard the 8.

I heard the 8. I heard the 8. I heard the 8. I know you said 8, but I'm saying don't say 9 now. I don't want to hear 9. We should be saying 10. I know it's 10. You were trying to say 8.

Don't. You are trying to say 8. You are trying to say 8. You're trying to say 8. Look at that. Oh, so it's working out. No, son? Or no, son.

Or no or something. Take the tape! Blas knows my end! Hey, for real, every time Will and I do wrestle, he wins. Stop, hurt people, hurt people. Get back, what we were talking about here. What the real news story should be is,

fucking Will Compton attacks a victim of an ACL injury. My fucking hat go. That was 11 weeks ago or 12 weeks ago, bro. That was 12 weeks ago, you're right. He's fucking... I'm trying to do. Fucking... Whatever I can.

It smells like butthole on your finger. You've been fingering ducing. Dude. You got finger in dudes. Get this fucking thing figured out. Boss, go fix this shit. Oh, bro. You guys can tell that we've been working out, dude, two days.

Anyways. Yeah, you're on Peace Squad for a year. Yeah. Oh, I know. Prout of that Peace Squad year. You're so lucky I couldn't get up. You could get up. I chose not to get up because of my knee.

I got another year to play. Because I can. You need to get that 10th year. Huh? You need to get that 10th year. Why? Because we're both at night. I can only do what the fuck I want to do.

I don't need to do nothing. No, I'm saying you should. Huh? I'm saying you should. If I want to, I'll play. That's hot, yeah. Where's going to go play? Wherever you want.

What landing spot? Do you want me to go play in the NFL next year? So you're in Cleveland. You're on active at Cleveland. So I was the two all year in Cleveland. Well, I want you to talk about Cleveland. Yeah, I want to hear about Cleveland. I want to hear about Cleveland.

You know what I mean? You seem like a, It seemed like a normal guy, and then you're paired, you're in the same room as a super horny guy in Cleveland. I want to find out how that dynamic works with you guys. Did he come off that horny or you're like, oh, he might not be as horny as they're saying. Oh, he got the rookies of masseuse. Yeah, yeah, Christmas presents. So the whole line here's a massage therapist.

I can't, I cannot, I can't speak on that. He's a normal group. He's the horniest that you've ever met? We all got our, you know what I mean? Everyone has a horny guy. The horniest guy ever met? There's two. Mike Campanero and Rob Mojee.

Those are the two hornyest people I've ever met. Horny boys. Horny boys. I feel like Chase Rice would be up there. Chase Rice used like a horny boy. He performed in my golf tournament last year. How horny was he? We, uh, sweet.

I am going to give an honorable mention. My honorable mention will be the same as Will's. It's going to go to Pluto. When I was in third grade, that motherfucker was a planet. Now all of a sudden, you're trying to tell me it's not a planet. Take out my fucking school and then I had. F*** you school. That is a planet.

And I think it was done wrong. I think it was very disrespectful what they did to Pluto. And I think Pluto needs its day. Pluto needs to be talked about more free Pluto, dude. Because this is out in the confines. When I was Googling, it literally had the eight planets, and they made the planets big enough to where they had to stuff out Pluto's little like put Pluto back in the image and just put Pluto, dude, and just go from there.

I don't want to cut you off. But Pluto hasn't gone one lap around the Earth in your life. I mean, one lap around the sun in your life. What does that mean? I mean, it's like, it's not a planet. No, no, no, it's a follower. He's a follower. It beats by its own drum.

It's not a problem. Oh, y'all just want to go in circles all day? I'm out here doing shit. You know what I'm saying? Let me be... The longest time to get around, you see how far the motherfhires out there? You can't even see it.

Yeah. We barely see Jupiter sometimes that big piece of shit. Is time travel real? So, uh, my time traveling piece is, it's like, so like time is the fourth dimension in our world. So like you had, if you're in a two, two dimensional world... No, no, no, no. No one laughed.

This is unbelievable. All right. If you're in a 2D world, like if you're 2D world, like a picture book. On paper, right? Right, you got two dimensions. Yep. The third dimensions, time. So it's like the ability.

I thought you said the fourth dimension. We're in a 2D world now. We went back. Okay, okay, okay. So, like, you have a book. It's 2D. So the third dimension would be time. So, like, the ability to just flip the pages and, like, go from a different spot in the book.

So, like, in our three-dimensional world, time is the fourth dimension. So if you could time travel, you have to be four-dimensional in a three-dimensional world. Okay, hold on. Yeah, okay. I understood what you said, kind of. Yeah. But I don't think you answered the question. I don't think it's time travel is real.

at the moment because I feel like I saw like one thing, one theory is like time travel is real. Like time travel can't be real until the day someone creates a time machine because then you can time travel backwards and forth to that point. Until someone creates a time machine, you can't time travel to an area of time where there's no time machine. Would it be fair to say that Georgia is the king of the SEC? No, bro. Right now, bro.

They are playing great football. They are the two-time defending champs. No, I'm saying, but I'm saying for the last two years, they've been outstanding. Okay, how about this? We have sustained that standard for 10 years, for 10 years. I just think when somebody's on top and being on top for so long, they can't wait for somebody to just come in and just take over. But we ain't, but Alabama.

Maybe it's not going to where, I'm sorry to say. I didn't want recruit class this year. How about this? Is Kirby Smart the best head coach in the SEC? Bro, stop, stop, bro. No. Who is Kirby Smart under before he went to Georgia? I'm assuming Nick Staven.

You were assuming Nick Saving? They don't assume, man. Hey, just because Nick Sabin's lived longer doesn't mean anything. Yeah. Nick Saban's really just old. That's why he's successful. Think so? I mean, it seems like he's really falling off last year.

He's got to be because of his logic. Just the start of this decade. Would it be fair to say that in 2022, Georgia was the king of the SEC? Oh, no. I can't live with that, no. I do want to speak on, you said, having two bandman backs in the top two. Proud of Josh, he worked for it. Went crazy.

I got to watch his game against the 49ers, which is part of the best. He was in the league. He was killing them. He didn't have a lot of yards, but he was going crazy. Very proud of Josh, man. And, you know, I think he earned everything he got this year. I know they didn't pick up his fifth year option this past year.

So I know that was motivation. Yeah. Proud of Josh Mann and Rube, Bama built, row with tie. We know what it is. Do you think he'll be at the radar? Harris, Kenyon doing this thing. Oh, yeah, Naji is Bond too.

Mark, yeah, you guys do have a lot of good. Mark Angron. We're holding it down for a while. Yeah, man. Proud on them boys, man. You know how we rock out. Now, I do have a very important. this might be the most important question.

This might be not the rowback, but this is definitely a massively important question. And the way you answer is going to change the directory of our friendship. I don't know how you and Will are going to be. The fourth game this season, you will be playing the Michigan Wolverines in Lincoln, Nebraska. Now, there are talks that last year, Michigan won the first inaugural busomble.

Official or unofficial, that's the argument that people are putting at it, putting up with it. Are you willing to sign papers saying that Nebraska will be playing for the first, official bus and bowl against Michigan next year. Yeah, I'll send that. I think mine's going to be, my honorable mention, tip of the cap to the moon, the moon emoji, the dark moon emoji.

I fact, when you throw that, if you add that to your bag and you saw that in there, it throws people off, like, what does he even mean by that? But it's funny looking. You just randomly throw that in that conversation. I'm telling you it's good. Add it to your bag boys. My tier three is going to be the water. Slots.

Yeah, we got to stay hydrated out there. You got to stay hydrated out there. Keep that H2O up. My tier two, big vegetable guy, the eggplant. I like the eggplant. I'm going to go with the eggplant for my two. My tier one, this is, this emoji's been with me all time since birth. The eyes.

You shoot the eyes. The eyes are killer. Yeah. It's all right. I just keep it on okay. This isn't a draft. This isn't a draft. But eyes tier one, eggplant, big vegetable guy, tier two.

Could be corn. You know, could be corn. Could be corn. Big Cobb energy. That's a big thing we're all about on Saturday. is Memorial Stadium. But my tier, and my tier three, water. That's my tier.

That's my tier talk. Brought this up. So yesterday, my D-Line coach from Eastern called me. You know, we're just chopping it up, talking ball and whatever. Somehow he brings it up. He's like, yeah, you know, it's hilarious. You know, we've been interviewing a new D-Line guy because he's going to move to linebackers there at Eastern

and they're getting a new D-Line coach. And he was like, Coach Creighton, my head coach, he started this thing in his interview process. He puts up five high school players film and shows the D-Line coach. and has them rank the D-Lyman. He puts, like, whatever, one of the guys that are trying to recruit,

he puts my film in there from my high school, like, when I was in high school, and he puts, like, you know, four other random guys. He said, so my D-Line coach, my old D-Line coach told me yesterday, he said every single coach ranks me at, like, fourth or fifth.

I'm from high school day. And I'm dying laughing. And they don't know that it's you. They don't know. And then they're like, yeah, you know, that's Max Crosby, right? And they're like, they all get awkward. Yeah, that's got to be a top of you.

It's just got to sit there in that meeting. go, I'm not getting this job. Yeah, fuck. It's over. He is like one of the best friends to have. No, literally, bro. He is an incredible human being. Absolutely.

What a massive fucking dog. He's a big boy. Now he stood up and everybody could see him too. Everybody's like, holy shit. Like, literally he like, take my life any second. Oh, any time he wanted. Max, I like, I came in the house before I came in the house and Max is like, hey, just walk straight.

Don't really, don't look down. I don't make any facial expressions. And I'm just kind of like walking the house. And Max just starts laughing. He's like, yo, he's not going to do nothing. But the dude's fucking massive. Hey, watch the wires. Watch the wires, Dirk.

This is a good time. Mine is simply a well-time fart. When you hit a well-time fart, like, you know, and I just said it, well-time, when you get that perfectly timed fart, whether you're with your boys, you know, maybe with your girl, who knows? I don't know what rattles your cage with that one. But when you're around the boys and somebody has a well-time fart, bro, you just have a good laugh.

Like, it's a good chuckle. You know what I mean? Sometimes it's even more than a chuckle, but the vibes surrounding a well-time fart, especially when you got a lot of people. too. Maybe it gets a little quiet. You know, you romp it a little bit. I don't know. I just a good fart goes a long way with me. You do. You got some good gas. Yeah. You get some good time gas. Yeah. A good fart goes along with me. So that's my shout out. No free shout. How do you think Bar still changes with the move to Chicago? I mean, obviously there'll be different

offices. I don't know the exact people going Dan's Chicago. Dan's a workhorse. I'm sure Chicago will be great. And Kevin will be in New York. There's still a ton of business people. But I don't, I don't think it'll change all that much. Probably me leaving almost is more of a change than like Dan bringing Chicago guys because I'm like the, I'm the jerk. Like, and I mean that in a way that is like I stir the pot when I'm there. Like I so. Content. You're in the mix a lot. It's generally like creating like controversy out like not, you know, being the boss that's like, what'd you do that? What'd you do that? That doesn't happen as much if I'm not there anyway. So I think the content will be pretty similar with Dan taking his crew because there's not as much of the like the frank the tank shit that he did the

other day that would have been a much bigger story probably if I was there he went to the dolphins yeah and then he left and he left and like what had the potential to be an unbelievable ending it didn't but like that that if I'm there I would harped on that for like a week kind of dies down so I don't think he'll change much do you ever think like think back on the time when you sold 51% to churning like you could have went about it another way to to keep that ownership like okay maybe I can go on my own and hire a CEO? No, because we are at a time when something had to change. I think Dan, Kevin were a little bit fed up with me, I guess, at the time. I fed up's the right word. It's a band that had been together a long time.

And I think there you were to look because we were just kind of cruising. And I was starting to make pretty good money. They were making okay money, not like they are now. But it's like, what's the next step for us? Like, you know, I started it. I predated those guys by 10 years. years maybe, eight years. Like I was doing the newspaper. So I had been at it a lot longer than, so when they started, there was a very clear hierarchy. Like, I was by far the biggest and they were coming along. And by the time that had been sold, they were both, you know, big names in their own right. And continue, obviously you see them now. So it's like, all right, we got, we don't want to be

making, you know, a couple hundred grand. I don't remember what it was. At the time, what's the next level and it made sense. Okay, we can take a jump and, you know, all make out. Like, fortunately, there's another boss coming in versus Dave swinging the sword. We're all on the same. Yeah, it's just, it was a clear path for them to get where they, where we've gotten, which they're all very soon going to be like multi, multi, multi, multi millionaires. Because, so I owned 100% of the company. And when we did that first deal, I just sliced it off. It was part of it's like, all right, here's percentages for you guys. So you all own now parts of barstool. So if.

we get to this next sale because turning came in and it was very clear. Our goal is to sell it. Like, we want to build it and then sell it. So they got the percentage. It's like, all right, we're all now trying to get to that next step, which is the Penn, which is the big transaction that made them all like every, you know, everything worth it. It's like everything we did was worth it.

How does everything change with Penn coming in? Nothing. It won't change. So the Penn deal was similar to Turner. They're like, you, they did deep dive. They're like, we're comfortable with you guys. We trust you guys. Jay, the CEO's awesome.

If he has any issues, he calls me. And we never really totally disagree. Like, he always, every conversation was like, hey, can you do this or whatever? He prefaces, like, you do what you want, but like, it would help if we did this. I've never had an issue with anything he said. And I would, you know, you can't guarantee it. I don't think I would ever sell to somebody that I didn't feel like totally get us. Like, you guys met Jay, I assume, obviously, have you?

I don't think we have met Jay. Was he at the up fronts? I don't know they was. Was you in Arizona? Arizona, the Arizona. No, he wasn't. No. No.

No, out there. We had met him then. Like, just a, like, normal, like, blue-collar background, worked in Vegas, went to Harvard, played football at Harvard. He's just, like, a good guy. Like, you, you, again, you can't always anticipate agreeing with everybody, but as long as you think someone's, like, rational and going to listen, that's good. So, not much has changed.

And the second transaction was done. Like a lot of people have gone a little confused. I don't know if I'm saying confused. When turn and sold to Penn, it was always this sequence of events. We're going to buy this percentage and then three years later, the rest. I don't think they want to buy it all right away because they're government regulated. They didn't want to like scare people right away. So they wanted to ease into it.

But this was always all the way to the price. Like everything was built in three years ago. So nothing is really changing with this. When you did the sale from three years ago, did you escalators? Like, hey, if barstool starts reaching these numbers? Yeah, but they were all within restrictions. So you couldn't go above a certain number. We're at the highest number you can go.

But it was always you can't go above this and you can't go below this. So it was pretty wedged in. But there's going to be no change as far as like the hierarchy stuff goes, like within the offices. You know what I mean? Like Penn takes over all of bars tool. No. Because it really, like I said, for lack of it words, it was already that hierarchy was like already there. So if Penn came down, like, we really want you to do this.

Theoretically, Chernin could have been like, we still own the majority of the company, so no. But they knew they were selling it to Penn. So it really hasn't changed. Like Penn doesn't tell us what to do on the content. It's more, I think, back end starting now to move forward, like migrate systems over, accounting, things like that. But not the content's pretty separate. Like, they know why they bought it.

I mean, there's stuff like you guys, for example, where I can't just be like, yes. Like, I know that's like a big ticket item for us. I can make sure everybody knows that. Could we have maybe, like, slid that in? Even if they're like, no, no, no. Yeah, I guess we could have. I wouldn't because, like, what, do you want to start a relationship like that? How did you get into a position where you were titled as not a snitch?

Not a position. Position. I think just time in the game. Yeah. Just getting reps after reps. Like, I know. No? Yeah, I've just never Kest until I had a lot of rumors about me.

Like everyone thought I fucked Kanye a year ago. Mitch brought that up. Mitch's girlfriend is a huge fan of yours. Right? Did you fuck Kanye? No, he's so short. Ugh. Did he try to fuck you?

No comment. That's all I needed. Clip it, boys. And the interview is over. Too short. Really? What am I going to do with that floss? I don't know.

Come on. stop. I'm not into all the other bullshit. I think... What other bullshit? The they and them. Yeah. And all that extra shit that we added during the pandemic. Because everyone was so bored on their fucking houses. They just started to make up more shit and more shit. More stuff, more stuff. Yeah. That's where the conservative is like me because I'm just real. Yeah, you do have a conservative vibe to you. You're not they and them. You're trans, your male or you're female.

And you're standing on that. And people get so mad when I say that. How are you with they? What the fuck does that mean? As stupid is what it is. Yeah. But you need someone like me that. it looks like me to say it. Because if you say it, it turns into you're homophobic. You hate trans people. You hate gays. And it's just how you feel.

You don't hate anyone. You just think it's stupid. There is this rumor, this rumbling going around in the NFL community that some gentleman is with Jeffrey Starr on his way to Wyoming. Right. You take a photo.

I believe the first photo was this man's ankles with his van. His ankles aren't that strong, but he runs fast. Okay. Well, that checks off my box. I am. That is one. Now, he's a fast runner.

Yeah. So during this, like, now, the only reason why I find this out is people are tagging is Taylor Luan in Wyoming right now. I'm sorry. No, I loved it. This got us to this point now. Right here. Yeah.

We're in Arizona. And I was already coming to the Super Bowl. I've been before. I love it. It's fun. There's always fun parties. A lot of excitement. So this is a great opportunity.

This is a great opportunity. So everyone thought that I was sleeping with you, but I'm really fucking one of your friends. Okay. That's the short version. That's the short version. There's a few other ones that felt really bad for. Sorry, Cole. Oh, no.

Poor Cole. Find out who Cole is. Cole who? Is that the dude that's a tight end for the Bears? I thought that was him. Really? Yeah. Maybe it is.

It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. Just kidding, Cole. You need a letter? Oh, stop. Come on, dude.

The world's going to explode. That's all I want. Poor Cole. I was going to reach out to him and say sorry, but what if he actually wants to hang out? Then that's a dub for you and if you're interested. What does he look like? Can we pull him up? Is he?

We'll see about that. Yeah, I saw Buddy's tummy. when you posted that photo I was like Bunny was jacked up whoever you were with in Wyoming and he said he knew me that makes it all so much more interesting he's like

we'll tell him in Cabo yeah yeah Caba the scouting report on Will hard-nosed instinctive in terms of reading blocking patterns like you know the pooler goes Will's gone he's off the spot and he's coming downhill

undersized but we'll take yep it's true limited athletically undersized But what we always look forward? Does he have a willingness to take on?

Like Will wasn't scared to go down and put his face mask on somebody. Not the longest guy in terms of arm length here. We're not talking about 34-inch arms. You know, so there was physicality, but there was a tendency to get caught up on some blocks. He had to win with his instincts, being able to read kind of the, read the play, read the formation, get off the spot quick. Short area of quickness was not bad with this guy now in a short space. I'm not talking about going, but he had some short area quickness. Explosiveness to beat blockers to the point get downhill good rap tackler get guys to the ground

You want them on on first and second down didn't really see a big role on third down In terms of getting in space and really covering he'd use his instincts and zone to be able to get in the windows and squeeze on guys and take guys out of the play And on the kicking game hell on wheel hell on wheels But the college character that's all the adjectives lunch pale guy You're going to love them in the room strength staff loves this guy date your daughter type you know I don't know about that one He's going to be every coach's dream. Going to work hard, give you everything you got, bring guys along with him. So he had all the intangibles too.

What's Taylor's Scouting Report? Say, Taylor, the overall scouting report, to be honest with you, it stayed pretty consistent since the time that he's been in the league. Now, when he first got in, his technique wasn't very good. And so he improved a lot from a technical standpoint. But Taylor, exceptional athlete for his size, rare athlete for his size, all like the ability to, like the lateral agility, the speed to kick and get to the, I'm using scouting terms now, but to get to the junction point.

ability to play in the screen game, pull, run, get to the second level because of how athletic he was was unique. And I think the thing that Taylor did is a left tackle that not a lot of left tackles is the nastiness that he played with. Because back in the day when I came up, like the run blockers all played right tackle. And then like the Vinesse kind of softer guys played left tackle. But Taylor really like as a run blocker, even though he wasn't the most powerful guy, like he was trying to like demolish people. And so he brought that like that physical kind of right tackle mentality as a run blocker, he brought it to left tackle. And I think that's what a lot of people were attracted by. He has this, like, tenacity and this nastiness, but he's this athletic. Kind of finished beyond the

whistle. You know, pretty guy in terms of his skill set. So that was all unique. And that was all what made him a first round draft pick. Who is Dr. Ah, not Dr. Mr. Servantes. Okay. He was the economics teacher. And he would go, he was a unique teacher. Like he would go and, like, meander in the hallways, like 10 minutes after class started. Like the whole class was kind of just sitting, hanging out and waiting for him. And, the final, it was economics class, the final he left on his desk. And I took a picture of it and I sent it to everybody in the class. So everybody in the class got 100% on the class. And I'm on the bus going to graduation. And Servantes is like, the seat in front of me goes, hey, I know what you did.

I was like, what are you talking about? He was like, I know there's a reason why everyone got in the class. Like, just go and cut me a check when you get to the NFL. And I was like, you got it, Bub. There you go. Got him the check? Nope. I need to. I have a personal question for you. Yep. My senior year of high school, I had a 35% in my Spanish class. I told you I was not going to go take the final. I'm going to have to go work construction. And you were like, just go take the test. And I took the test and I put C for every single answer. And I got a 75 in the class. How did that happen? These are old jobs. Remember, this is a day. This is long time ago. I don't even, I don't remember how it all went down. I do remember, I'll digress a little bit. I do remember when you came into Chaparral and first seeing that transcript that was put across my desk. 1.6 GPA. And it was just brutal. You want to talk about, just beat up. I mean, like, I wondered if he actually went to school for the first two years

because there was just littered with Fs. Dude, it was so bad. It was basically Taylor-Luan your assignment as he comes up. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I actually, I don't want to turn this into like a podcast about me, but I do want to learn more about my childhood with you. Where are you at in the argument of golf being a sport or not?

Man, I'm like very middle. Like, I don't. It's active. Yeah. It does warm my heart when like my friends who are real athletes, like the no argument athlete, when they go play golf and then they tell me next day, like their back hurts, their shoulders are hurting. I'm like, see, this shit's fucking.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, it's probably not. I think if we had to carry our own clubs, I would consider it a sport. Yeah, we're tiptoeing the line. We're definitely like people bat dog cheerleading and say that's not a sport. And they did it way more athletic than we are. So like if they're not even, if they're not even getting approved, then like, We shouldn't be approved fully yet.

We're gaining on it, but I wouldn't. Like, you guys are, like, there's a humongous difference between, like, football and baseball and basketball and then, like, golf. Like, it's noticeable. Just the eye test would tell you that, like, we're not doing a whole lot. But it is active. It's harder than you think. But, yeah, it's definitely not rigorous enough to consider, like, a full-blown sport. But we're in the sport family.

Just going to say, how you feel about everyone's starting to throw all that alcohol onto the- So I like the green, like how it was like chaos. It was a little much. So basically they had to change it this year. I'm not, I'm not going to go out here and say it's like life and death dangerous. But I mean, people are chucking, you know, cans at you that are full of beer.

And like, you know, Colt, my buddy Colt got hit with one last year. And he's like, didn't feel good. I don't mind it. It's crazy. I like this. This is good for golf. I don't think every week, but it's good for golf. But they are putting cups in solo cups this year.

So if you do chuck them, at least like we're not going to get beaned. But I don't know. I like it. It's fun. It's chaos. Tim McGraw's daughter went to Stanford. So we got to know the McGraths a little bit. Me and my friend group, she's an awesome girl.

And we had dinner. A family friend of ours know them pretty well. So he invited us over for dinner when we were at Stanford. But the McGraths, him and Faith Hill, we're going. And so we're like, all right, cool, we'll head over. And the whole way on the car ride, they're like, dude, just don't say any Friday night lights lines. Like, don't say, like, be professional, whatever. Within five minutes, someone drops a fork in my idiot buddy, like, it's like,

don't punch the president and goes, can't hold on on on the fork, can't hold on on the football. I was like, no, no. And he started laughing too, which was good, but oh my God. He was so part of it. He laughed. He just laughed. And Tim McGrath is one of those dudes you've seen.

You're like, that's really Tim McGrath. Jacked. He's ripped up. Dude, I saw him when I tore my ACL in 2020, and they were playing the Ravens. And the suite next to me, he was there. And someone like kind of tapped him like one of those. And he like, gave me the head and I was like, we're fucking tight, dude. We're boys, brother.

You mentioned it being like it was hard at times. Like, what were the hard times? And when I say hard. How the old man was tough on you? It's like hard as, you know, when you're a kid. Like it was, now it's not hard. Taping balls to you. Hard as you should you hold on to it.

Maybe you appreciate it looking back now. We would get grounded for real. If you got jersey tackle, like I'm talking like seven, eight years old. If you got, you know, you wear the big jerseys. Yeah. You get grounded. Oh, really? Tackled at seven, eight years old.

You're grounded. Depot tape, that double-sided tape on the eight and double-side tape my pads. This is, you know, they didn't have the. Velcro and double-side tape my pads, I never got. I was running through everybody. No jersey tackles ever. You know, he would cut like certain slits in the pant to give you like more knee flexion like back in the day. At eight years old. He was doing like dynamic warmups, dude. No sodas. Bedtime 730. Oh yeah. Like he would take, they would take our phone until I left for high school at like a time. He's going to hate me for saying all this, but it works. If you listen. I mean, I don't know if he's

going to listen to it. But but yeah, like that's crazy. Like we, you know, when diet was always important, sleep was always. Now, we were kids, man. like we could go over to the friend's house it wasn't like anything like that but when it came to sports and to school it was hey if you want to be here here are the things that you need to do you go and buy it ships to like what 20 or not not it doesn't ship to like 18 states hopefully you're part of the positive notice shifts to most of the states and that's yeah 33 yeah you're all you're already we got no one states yeah we have 50 states my god will 50 stars 13 bars these colors don't run you should know that i know but when when when not

What are the bars mean on the flag? The representation. Of what? The, you know, the fucking representation. What are the bars? What are the bars on the flag of the United States flag being? Hold on him to answer this. My hands are sweating.

What do they mean? These week on. The stars, that's all the number of states. Yes, that's good. What are the bars mean? Initial 13. The initial 13. That's my fucking.

13-1. Oh my God. States, colonies? Yeah, yeah, Colonys. I know, it's colonies, correct? But I about it. Okay, because I do want to make that clear. Well, just threw in states, colonies. I know we had a little deal right there, like, what was it, 1776? What's that? 1774. No, you got, 1776. July 4, 1776. Yeah, brother. Like, I can sit here just being a fan, like watching McGregor over the years, like trying to hold some of these situation's hostage until he gets whatever he wants. You know, he doesn't really do that. It might appear like he does that.

You know, Connor, I always hate to compare anybody to Ali, but I always compare him to Ali because he's so good at playing the mental game. He really is. With opponents and stuff like that. But as far as us as a business, I mean, I look at Connor as a great partner. He's not one of those guys. Believe me, I've dealt with some bad guys in the past that will do dirty shit to try to hold you up for more money and stuff like that.

He's not that guy. Connor's not that guy. You have a story that you can share about some guys who would do some dirty? Tito Ortiz. Tito Ortiz was the worst with that. He was the worst. Why do you think the UFC gets so much flag for not paying their fighters? Because I don't tell anybody what they get paid.

I don't tell anybody what they get paid. And guess what? Neither do the fighters. There's no gag order in place. These fighters could come out and say exactly what they make. I just had a situation recently. I'll tell you who it was, it was Paul O Costa. He's a lunatic.

He acts like a lunatic. and he came out publicly and kind of said what we offered him. Yeah. It was the furthest thing from the truth. Really? It wasn't true. And this was a while ago. This is the first time I've even talked about it.

But it's just an example. See, these guys will say stuff like that because they know I won't talk about it publicly. Yeah. I really don't give a shit. You know, all these people that come out and say, oh, the UFC doesn't pay the fighters and they only pay this percentage of the fucking this, that and everything else. It's all this narrative that I don't play into. You know, the guys who fight him.

know that they've been taken care of. And, you know, and it's one of these systems where the guys who actually bring all the value are the ones who make all the money. What was your thought process when you see Purdy get hurt? I was like, oh, boy. Yeah, let's getty up. But the thing was, bro, like, here's the crazy part about it is when Purdy went down, I still have full confidence.

Josh Johnson, a seasoned veteran, been in the league for about 50 years. You know, he can go out there and protect, you know, protect the ball, get it where it needs to go. and we got the top defense in the league. At that point, I think it was 7-0. So I'm like, all right, we're good. And then Christian goes and does like the Superman, you know, like goes and scores off of like some hero play.

Yeah. And it's 7-7. So I'm thinking, okay, we're in it. Like 7-7, we're good. Josh gets a concussion. He's out. And we're on the sideline. I'm like, all right, who's next?

Like, we don't have anybody else. I heard the story recently that Christian was getting his helmet fitted for the QB thing. And I didn't know that was actually happening in real time. But then I see Purdy trotting back out. I'm like, well, what the heck? why wasn't he in the whole time? But then you see the guy just giving handoffs every play.

I'm like, we're toast. So of my teammates play this game called High and go get it with their friends. What does that mean? I can go get it is you hide. Like you're playing, think of hide and seek. Yeah.

But the minute you find them, you get to dry hump them or do whatever for like five minutes. When I go through life, I'm looking for leaders because I think that leadership, everything rises and falls on leadership. And quite frankly,

I think leaders are hard to find. And this guy's a leader. He's a leader of leaders because he can build relationships with people. He can connect with anybody in our locker room. Anybody in our locker room from West Coast, East Coast, inner city suburbs, you know, farm boy. He can connect with anybody at any time, at any level. He's engaging.

He's funny, but he's smart. He studies. He's tough. I keep a list of my phone of people I would hire if I ever start a company. And like right there is the guy I would hire to like run the company for me. You're going to go. Hey, brother. That is all right, man.

Put my piece out of it. He is why I'm sitting on his chair. and he is why I think this podcast will go as far as it wants to go. And I plan on when I'm retiring football, giving him a call and saying, what are we doing? That's all time, man. I appreciate that. You're going to make me too. Can you walk everybody through?

Was it the first fully guaranteed? It was 100% my agent. I remember sitting at the Super Bowl after my rookie year. And Joe Flacco was about to be a free agent. He was also about the quarterback in the Super Bowl. And we sat there. I knew nothing about contracts. And my agent said, what the Ravens are going to be able to do is,

either sign him to a long-term deal or they're going to have to franchise tag him twice. And so the entire negotiation will be based off of two franchise tags and what those two franchise tags are worth. And that's what they'll have to negotiate off of. And so I didn't know four years later, I'd be in a similar spot where I'd finish my season, be coming to free agency. And my agent just said, this is Joe Flackle all over again. It's a two-year franchise tag. And he said, what I'd like to do is because I see those two years being basically guaranteed. I'd like to just do a three-year deal fully guaranteed. And he offered that to the team and obviously they were not interested in that model.

And he just said, okay, then we'll do the two franchise tags. And said two years from now, we'll go to Frasiancy and try to get that same deal, a three-year deal fully guaranteed. And so that's literally what happened. Can you speak back on like making the climb to become the guy and that whole process unfolding with RG3 being like the face of the franchise? Sure. First of all, the model was backup Robert.

And if I play well in preseason games, I'm going to get an opportunity somewhere in a trade. Kyle Shannon made that very clear from the day I was drafted. And Rex Grossman said to me, this offense playing well is in your best interest because when a quarterback can be a part of a really good offense, I think it makes other teams want you more. You know, we had a great year, our rookie year. I really just watched as Griff won rookie of the year. And then I just assumed, again, not knowing how the pro football works, I just assumed we'd run it back, be able to do the same thing. And the next year we went 3 and 13. And then Coach Gruden came in and that next year we went 4 and 12. And then going into 15, understanding that maybe if you practice well enough, you might get a shot. And then that that was when Jay made the decision going into 2015 season. Okay, we're going to go with Kirk. Remember the game against Bucks, we got down 24 to nothing. And the buy was the next week.

So if we don't win that game, you know, I've heard some people say on that staff. They thought they were all going to get fired if we didn't win that game. And I probably don't come back after the buy week as the starting quarterback. We come back and win that game 30-130. And then I yell, you like that in the time. And we never really looked back. For me, I grew up in the state. You were from Phoenix.

I grew up in the state. So, like, I knew if I go back to Holland, Michigan, there's going to be a lot of people there that are. amazing blue and a lot of people that are green and white. And so it was very, very personal, very real to me. And Coach Dantonia would always say that you win this game, you walk the streets, not the alleys of your hometown. And I would sit there and I would nod my head.

That's absolutely right. Like, I know 8th Street in downtown Holland. And I know I'm going to be on 8th Street in downtown Holland the rest of my life. And I know that I'm trying to walk the streets of that town the rest of my life. And so when we won my senior year to have won four in a row, and I knew that in the years I played, we were three and all. That's when I said it at the press conference. Like, I'm going to walk the streets in my hometown the rest of my life.

And I'm not saying this with any kind of hyperbole. I'm literally going to walk the streets in my town with a Michigan State symbol on, knowing that like, when I was there, we took care of business. So we talked to Jeff and I go up to him and I'm like, how long do you think it take the soundproof? Like, get this thing ready until I do an episode. And at the time, ASAP as fast as possible. Like we were like willing to pay more to get it done faster.

Bro, when we, I hope, do we have a. photo. He said ASAP as fast as possible. God damn. Was it Louis's joke? He goes, the worst part of the beheading. Oh, he's talking about how dumb you look after you get beheaded. They're like, hold your head up. You're like, D. D. That's why you got, he's like, yeah, you got to be bald.

Yeah. So they can't hold you. Like, they can't hold your hair out. Oh, my God. Tell me, have you ever thrown up on a child in a football game? No, that guy did that at the Phillies game. wonderful. Do you ever, you hear that story? No. A guy and his kid were in front of these Phillies fans and they were like, I guess talking shit back and forth and a guy made himself throw up on the

guy's kid. Oh my God, a Philly fan did that. Yes. That's the Philly way. That's like the nastiest thing of all time. Philly's got to be like the skeeziest fans. I mean, you guys are the most savage fan base. They're terrible, dude. Far none. I was with Michael Che and we were talking about going to the Niners Eagles NFC Championship and he's a Niners fan. He was like, I'm going. I was like, dude, do not go. That would be a bad move. wear Niners gear if you go. There's going to be 10,000, like, one-year-old white dudes just literally spitting

on you fucking, and then they're going to find out you're from S&L. Oh. They're going to see you're black. They're going to go nuts, dude. You're going to have to fight. Yeah, they're going to, wait a second. This son of a bitch is black. Well, the O line for the chiefs rolled in.

That's like, that's Shane's. I love it. I love seeing big boys. Yeah. Because they go and he starts showing him his jokes to, Yeah, I get some past... Oh, yeah, you were getting in it? Yeah.

Did you, uh, was Orlando Brown there? Yeah. God, he's seen at the biggest... Yeah, he's not the biggest thing of all time. He's a cool guy. Is he? I'm gonna need to see these boys. I talk them.

Yeah. Where'd you play college, dude? Like Oklahoma, I'm like, that's sick. What years, bro? I like, that's all. That's fucking awesome. We went to Notre Dame. Oh, the boys.

Those are the boys. Those are the boys. Those are young boys, dude. We were doing, like, baseball fields. That was... That was so sick. But we were in South Bend and the O-line came out. I was like, oh, I know you were just locked up the whole time.

I remember when you were. We got Ohio State week one, dude. You were doing one in Indianapolis, and we were trying to get Quentin Nelson and go, you're like, if we get Quentin here, tell him out. He's the number one. I need Quentin. You love him like that? Yeah, I'm a big fan.

After the show, we'll get him on the phone. He is all time. Well, I'm just going to be like, hey. He's so quiet. Remember when that safety bliss against Georgia and you picked him up and leveled him, dude? That was so sad. Remember when you chokeslam that guy against LSU in the bowl game?

episode. You know, this expression, I said to my buddy, he's made all the money. He's my age. He's made all the money. Whatever you think is a lot of money. Like his property in London, in England, we were out there hunting on his property. And I go, where does your property end? And he goes, and I went, what are he doing? He goes, as far as your I can see that way and as far as your I can see that way. That's how much money he has. But he, we were talking. And he said, I, you know, something's kind of, I'm looking for something more, talking about ayahuasca and stuff. And I said, I think that's because you can hear God clearing his throat in the other room. You ever feel that?

Like, you know, whatever that is. That thing. Nah, I'm fucking up over here. It should be over here. I'm lying a little bit. Okay. You hear that? I'm like, oh, fuck.

I know, I know you're there, but I'm just going to create some noise. I'll get to you in a second. He's just like, okay, I'll be here. That's the truth. Listen, there are guys, this group called SEAL Team 6. That's not a question. That's no, no, no. You're now explaining to me.

Ask us the question. I know. I love storytime with Uncle Brian. It's one thing to be able to kill a bunch of guys. It's another thing to be in the heat of battle knowing who to take a shot on and who not to. You see this? You see this? Bang. See that?

See that? See what I just fucking did? Yeah. You see that? That's, hey. Hit it! Back, bang, you know. Bang.

See that? So I just killed five times. Yeah. He just can't pull a triple shot at you one time. Good guy. Bang. You know, I'd see. Yeah, that's what it is.

What about animals? Remember, it was a riff. What was it called on the board? Dido dump, dump, da, do. That was the name. That was the name. It was like, phonetically spelled out. Like, Dumb, dump, dump, da-di-doo.

Because you're coming up to that song, like a dad walking into the car, you guys getting caught. We were going to film the video for photograph, and then we were going on tour. Last day in the studio. It was amazing watching this fucking guy worked. I was there. So we went downstairs. He started to do. So we just started to play.

He ran through it maybe two or three times. Okay, that's a chorus, whatever. And I went up to the mic and I went, I'm like, I got it. Okay, I'm going to go from this. Yeah, you sat in your car. He took the recording of that.

I'm fired up right now. Yeah, I'm like, you know my mouth's getting up, but I'm like, yeah. He took that recording. Are you humming those things? Yeah, so of us jamming. He went out to his car and you played it in there and he came back with all those lyrics.

Like, got it, let's track it. That's probably, I probably, It was so fast. It was so fast. Is there any song that's made it that you were surprised that made it of like your hits? That was great question.

Actually, mine was rock star. I didn't, I was like, I couldn't believe it. Really? I knew it was a good song. I didn't think it was gonna be a hit. And still, we played in the arena. The whole place just lights up. Like, I still can't believe this song.

I mean, before we got on the bus, I was some, I was joking on Dale because Dale Jr. makes an appearance. And he goes, man, I thought I was big in NASCAR. When that song went global, he's like, it actually skyrocket. It rocketed my brain even more. When that album was out, we hit a concert.

I think I was a sophomore or junior in high schools in St. Louis. Went out there. It was the best, bro. Went back, you know, best friend that I was dating at the time. We get back home. We go to this gravel road nearby, hold hands to animals for a good little bit before I take her home. But it was a fucking. That's cool.

Just hold hands? Yeah, we just held hands. Yeah, of course. It was dark. It was late. Dear gentleman. Like, let's throw on some animals and let's do hands for a little bit. There was one time.

Me and my boys were clowning around in the bedroom. We were playing fucking Grand Theftada, but it's a lot. but it's late at night. My dad comes in, hey, keep it down. He leaves the room, but we have the giggles. Like, it's at the time of night, we have the f***le giggles. The best. Yeah, and, you know, you couldn't hear, like, you can hear everything in the house.

Doesn't matter what room you're in. And we're still having a good time. He's like, hey, I thought I told you to fucking keep it down. I'm like, all right, dad. Like, you know, we're just, all right. But I have a little smirk on my face because we have the giggles. And I'm a junior in high school. Yeah, yeah, I'm a junior in high school.

Third time he comes in, he's like, I thought I told you to fucking keep it down. He's like, I was like, guys, hey, we got to keep. Oh, he walks in the room. He walks in the room and he stands, he stands in front of me like this. He's like, I told you to keep it down. And my boy is up against the wall behind my dad. Just like sitting there. He just going down his face from where I think.

And he's trying to hold his left because he realized how serious the moment is. My dad's like, hey, come outside with me. And as I'm like getting up, you know how you're kind of like, you're kind of like trying to stay a little front on him because you don't, you don't want to like turn your back to him. He fucking like shoves me toward the door and we get like out in the room. And the dude like stands over me. I got like this f***n stance. I got like this stance like this and I'm leaning back and he's like in my face.

And he's like, you ever feel like you want a shot at the title? Just let me know. Did you ever do traditions at your school like take a drink or anything like that? Like we had a thing called the drink. And your first 12 travels, you had to, the seniors would make a concoction. They could put whatever they wanted in it, which is scary. And you would have to take a teaspoon of it and eat it. I was starting as a freshman and I had to eat it every day before the game.

And it was like Tabasco, Salt, Pepper, Horse, Bradish, plumped up. Y'all never had nothing like that? No, like, each freshman would have to, like, basically all the O'Liaman, the senior and junior and senior O'Lyman would shower together, and each freshman would have to go in and basically shower with them. Dude, what? Bro, I didn't go get it. And now this, dude. Yeah, what is wrong with your lifestyle?

I made that up. I made that up. I was fucking worried, dude. Oh, my God. As you were going, I was like, I don't really have anything. Let me just make some weird shit up that can live on TikTok. I don't know. Will and I were headed to the Drake Party and at Scottsdale Airport.

George gets out of the car. We see the boy George. Just was on the phone a minute ago, a minute ago. Willard puts the ocean. There's George. There's the boy. He goes, go. So I started doing the scoge through.

I know you, you try. Like, it was a numbers game there. But us being on the phone. I'm going to go and you walking like, there's the boy George. George is like getting escorted. And we're like, hey, I'm like, hey, just get right here. We're going in. And then this is where you feel your thing.

George is holding the gate or with the security guard holding the gate looking down. He's going, this person, this person. And then he peeks with it. He gets a peripheral on me and goes, oh, we all made eye contact. And then it points to the person right in front of me, goes, this is the last person right here. And that person walked through. It's 100% what happened. It's 100% what happened.

That happened. As the gate is closing, dude, I'm looking at George. And I just go, I go, Georgie, he goes. And the gate's closing. And he just goes, I'm so sorry, guys. I think I said, George, it's me. Do you think you guys beat the Chiefs? Like I said, I never have any doubt in my head going into a football game.

So yes, 100% I think we would have been the Chiefs. Did you brought up a good point about those proud boys that are like, this country music, this pop country music's bullshit. Like, why do you think that's happen? Because I thought that Thomas read about it and he's like, yeah, but when the Outlaws came out back in the day of like Willie and Whalen and all them, they were saying back then, that's not country music. And now we all look back at that like, man, what an era for country music.

Yeah, I think there's some stuff now that's a little more of a stretch. I mean, comparing Waylon Jennings to Johnny Cash saying their night and day back then, it's not quite like some of the hip-hop type stuff we have going out. But music does change all the time. And there's a lot of different musically ways you can go in this genre. But I always say that the storytelling is what makes country music. It's a song that has a story, has some kind of meeting. That's the kind of thing about country.

Obviously, you can go like techno bar and just like people just want to dance. And people like to have a good time. There's songs like that too. But I always say if it's got some kind of meaning to it and story, it can be somewhat considered country music. Every show I opened for Luke Brian, there were a handful of guys there. You know the guys I'm talking about. They're like, man, this same country music, you know, those guys.

That's their girlfriend drug him to the show, but they came to see me, you know. And I'm going to tell you this is, I watch it happen every night. Because this dude puts on a show. They're seven beers deep, and he's up there and he's doing the thing. Yeah. And they're like, I got that real. Good. And the guy was just like, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Because he's like, he does it, man. He does the thing. There's, I look at, there's like three types of like sharp people. The guy comes in with the towel and puts it over the showerhead. Showers and merely takes it off yet. No way of seeing. Two is you have the guy that doesn't even go in with a towel.

That's me. I go and come out. I own what I got. Nothing like it. There's no Godzilla hanging out. And then the number three is the dude that just takes a towel and puts it kind of over his belly button. Yeah. Are you guys belly button?

Depends on how fat I have. If it's December, I'm like, I love it. I'll tell you what, there's a couple other guys you're missing. You even, D, brought it up with Aaron. The guy that showers in the corner and doesn't let you see anything the whole time. If he's rubbing his shoulder, he's got one over his parts. Those are the guys I trust the least in the locker room. If you're not going to let me look at that thing or not look at it eye to eye but catch a periff on it.

Yeah. You've either got something fucked up with you or you're holding something in here. The other guy, and this is a very rare breed of individual, the individual that comes in the towel, tucked in the armpits and drapes over the front. I don't think I've ever seen that. Kendall Lamb. He was what? He takes the towel, tucks it here, tucks it here, and it drapes long ways.

But cheeks are out in the back. He must have them titties. God always give a little movement, pull it on a little bit. I walked in there. You do your best. Especially the first couple weeks of OTAs and you guys are coming in. Normalize that.

Yeah. Because everyone does it but no one wants to talk about it. I appreciate you bringing that up. Hold on that thing a little bit because you don't want. It's hard because you're in spandex. And so it pushes it in. I know.

You want to do a little, an extra trick. This is, this is game now. So listen up. Fucking as you're pulling on your little piece, push up on the balls. But I've also faced the boys.

Like in Washington, my nickname was shrimp. Oh, there goes shrimp. They're going. Actually, it was, uh, it was, it was Dunbar, Dunny and he would be like, there goes shrimp. Why do they call you shrimp?

Come on. We call me gazing. We're pro-meat gazing here. But here's the thing. Me gaysers, meat beaking. Like you said, the peripheral, I respect that. That's natural. Totally cool with that. Then there's the me gazers like when I'm literally talking to you and I met guys that are asking me like about the end of the day. And then they keep talking. They go right back up.

I'm like, so that was not tasteful. That was actually very violated. I feel violating. And now I feel violated. Therefore, like, I want to end this conversation quickly. Especially because I told you, I'm not a towel guy. I go in, I shower, I come out. If you're going to check it from the priff, that's your choice.

Don't let me catch you looking at it. But when we're having big conversation, I see you just drop down, keep going, and then come back up and be like, so yeah, what did you think on that one-on-one right there? Was that cool of you to do? I'm like, easy. I'm not going to drop names because I feel bad. Vince Beagle, but. You guys are probably asking yourself, why am I dressed?

Like a fucking badass, dude. And the answer, Bloss is going to have up on the screen. My old man, back in the 80s, he was rocking this exact fit. that one day Taylor was talking about getting snake skin boots. But my old man, the tier one that he is, he shot me a text that night after he watched the episode and shot me this photo saying, hey, your old man used to rock some snake skin boots back

and hey, some pythons. And I saw this photo because that was also the time where I told the story about him challenging me to the title. Like, hey, you ever feel like you want a shot at the title? You just fucking let me know when. That was that episode. So I see this. I'm like, holy fuck I sent us the group check.

Jack immediately, yeah, your dad's definitely beating your ass. From that moment, I was like, yo, I got to recreate this fit somehow. I got it jumped on the web typed in Gold's Jim Crew. There obviously, there's a plethora of them out there. Found me some, uh, some python snake skin boots on Amazon. These are some, uh, jeans I've just had in a white collar as well. But had to recreate the look because it's fucking badass, dude. Who would win in a fight? A bear or a gorilla?

Argument is old as time. Just say what you would think and then we can open it up. Gorilla. Bear. Guerrilla. Bear. Bear. Guerrilla. Bear.

50-50 split right now. I think where it's hard. You don't see that any of those like aggressive videos. like you do in abundance with the bears out there. Like, bears can stand and go fucking toes, and it looks violent. However, I think you piss that silver back off, dude. Like, they're so fucking strong.

I think they can lift, like, 10 ton over their head. Your gorilla, your maneuver around, and all you need is get on that back, you grab them, throw a fucking right hook and biting their fucking spine, it's over. You've seen a gorilla fucking charge and just swing that motherfucker, dude. If they're both running at each other,

I envision a fucking gorilla, taking that arm, wapped in one to the head. But let's just say the grizzly bear's saying, up taking a shot to the gut, boom, shot to the gut, and one of them rolls that them gorillas do, bear drops down, gorilla jumps on his fucking back. Another one, bam to the skull, and then bites his fucking spine, 300 pounds per square inch, it's over. Leaving the comments, gorilla or, or bear. This comes from at J-Havy 34. Are you gay? Fan questions. They're asking you if you're

gay. Oh, if I'm gay. Yeah. No, I'm not gay. There's a saying that I had that's how you find out. Sometimes you got to suck a dick to know you don't like suck a dick. And we know, and I found out, and I found out. So no, I would say I'm not gay. And almost beat the shit out of me. Dude, the idea that he... No, no, I could defeat him because he has Golm's body. Dude, look at his body, not a single muscle.

He's a doctor's fucking sad. And we're watching a little... You two fight would be so funny. What happened? What happened? Give some context. Because that's why I said, I go, is this a real story? And he said, yes, just ask him.

You're going to think it's so stupid? So this is back when there was MySpace. And I was always in his top 10 friends. I was like number three. And then he started booking movies and stuff, right? So then all of a sudden you see Judd Apatow, Will Ferrell in his top. And I got weeded down to like 23 or something. So one day we're at Cobb, San Francisco, and I go, what's up?

Hollywood. You know what I mean? I'm no longer in top 10. He goes, hey, buddy. You know what I mean? And I go, fuck you. And then that's how that's how it started. Over MySpace top 10.

That's some like high school. I got real. Hallway type stuff. You like check your boy if you're not in the top five anymore. You know what I mean? It was choking you. Yeah. And then Steve goes, hi-ya, you know, with the arms.

You know what I mean? It was an all Asian tour. He has an all-chasing tour. And then me and Ken didn't talk to each other for like eight years after. Now you guys are great. We're fine. We're all good. It's all love.

Hey, can you do an Asian accent? I love him. I really do. Just try. You can cut it out. Let's just try. What do you want me to say? Just go, Harrah.

How are you? He literally goes, oh, well. Who did that? Like a parent that's very concerned. You can cut it out. It's right. Cut it out. Hero?

Perfect. It's perfect. You got to leave that in. Yeah, that's like my, that's like the Team America. Oh, hello. Very good, very good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys have some strict, like, you guys got to accomplish a lot.

But even the grades in the report card, it means something different to the Asian parent. Well, like what? The A means average. B meetings. C? Coma. D? F?

Okay, the whole family dies. So I raced my first race when I was three. Everything for me happened super early. Like most writers start four, five, six right around there. So I started traveling all throughout Europe at an early age as well. I started writing German championship. and then European Championship, you know, at a really early age. So I was kind of used to go in different countries because I guess it'd be like going

from California to Nevada. I was going from Germany to France. And it's a total different culture. So I was used to that. Having said that coming over for the first time ever, it was 2005, actually. My parents and Suzuki back then surprised me, actually. We showed up at this property and I'm getting dressed and everything. And I'm starting riding, there's super cost tracks, outdoor tracks, like multiple tracks on a

property. And so that was, you know, first time in the U.S., it was all new to me. Like the big tracks, big compounds and everything wasn't normal. So I'm riding and riding and I come back and I see somebody with the number four ripping on a supercross track and it was Ricky. No shit. I had no idea. My parents surprised me.

And that was my first encounter with Ricky. And then sure enough, oh, 10 years later, I started racing for his team. I will say this morning was day one of pushing a little earlier for the workout. Our alarm goes off 5.30, snoozed once, got out of bed, didn't wake the wife, snuck out of the room, went, got it in for an hour, back on time, got to get coffee with the fam. I was at a coffee shop doing some work before I came here, and I think it's the new, the new me. The only downfalls I ran out of gas.

Yeah. I didn't start the gas. We'll call me today. Yeah, I called Taylor like 7.30 because I ran out of gas before and Taylor was the one who helped me out. You only got a gas can, so I figured the boy would get an ice so I laugh. What's the first thing I said to you when he told me ran out of gas? I can't remember.

Do you want me to come get you? Oh, yeah. He was like, Taylor was like, like, he was like in a deep sleeve. He's like, hello. He's like, is everything, all right? I was like, yeah, I ran out of gas. He's like, where are you? I was like, hey, it's all good.

I got it all covered. I just figured, hey, you see it though. I figured you get a nice laugh. That's the kind of friend you're looking for in life. Can you please without being as biased as possible, give us a reasonable record you think they'll have? I don't know if it's time for that. All right, Minnesota, we're starting this season off with the dub.

Nebraska 1 and 0. Colorado, I've been out there saying it 2 and 0. Going into Northern Illinois, I think we dust the fuck out of them puffs. Louisiana Tech. There's no reason we can't be 4-0 going into the bussen bowl. Michigan, Nebraska. Okay, this is where I will go ahead and say, we're winning last drive for that football game.

We're going 5-0. We're going 5-0-0. Illinois, we lose. Northwestern, we whoop them nerds ass. We are going, what is that? 6-1. Purdue. I do think we sneak this game.

Oh, it's fucking Purdue, dude. We can't beat the polar makers. 7-1. Nebraska, Michigan State. At Michigan State, I can see us having again. I think we're drinking our Kool-Aid a little bit too much. just where I think we lose one, seven and two. Nebraska, Maryland.

Look, there is no world where Maryland ever beats us. Nebraska, Wisconsin, I think we lose to Wisconsin. Let's go ahead and say, what is that? What's that record? Eight and three. Iowa, I think we beat Iowa. Rivalry Week, to go to the Big Ten Championship, we beat Iowa nine and three going into the Big Ten Championship.

That's what I think happens in the regular season. I've seen a couple of those little skits. They're solid, dude. They're solid. The football coach one? Classic, dude. It's a classic. I mean, I don't know what you want me to tell that.

Everybody's like, football is a team game. It's not a team game, okay? I did my part, all right? I put in a great game plan. I mean, these players, they're horrible. For the football one, I bet that has made me three million dollars. Really? Yeah, that bit.

Don't know that number like that, too. Well, I mean, I don't know how I'm to say it like that, but I'm trying to put an an estimate on. Yeah. Just as far as like getting that kind of attraction. No, no, no. It wasn't unnecessary. But I'm trying to, the magnitude of, I mean, a kid came up to me yesterday in the airport.

I'm like, dude, are you that football coach? If they say that, I'd just go, yeah. Yeah. Not in the game anymore. Not the game anymore. You know, they let me go for that. They let me go for that. If you're Amish at 18, you go on what's called Rumspringer.

You know what that is? I think Rumm Springer, yes, I do. Let me try to explain it because I have to salvage whatever I've done this show. It's when you, like, go and, like, do regular people stuff for a while. And then you come back, right? They go do it like heathen, sinful. Don't say regular people. Make them sound like the worst.

Yeah. And make the Amish people sound good. Okay, so they go and do demonic shit. And then they come back. Okay, got it. A couple of satanic rituals. They ripped back to that. That wasn't it?

Yeah. More like get an iPhone and like get on Tinder. You're like how does this Amish guy have a cell phone and like he's driving like a like a Chevy Tahoe? We're like, well he hasn't made his decision yet to join. Because once you join the church, then you're in control of the bishop. The bishop can say you can do this or can't do this. Do they have like get an allowance? Are you saving up?

Shekels? What are we doing? Is that too much? How can I not say stuff and he's allowed to say that? No, they're not going to see it. What are you talking about? Checkles. No, they don't save up shekels.

They like corn and vegetables and stuff. And then they go and sell it. Will is finding a way to not be canceled. How? He did an April Fool's joke and he was a black baby. And it was hilarious. And you look at it and you're like, God, I hope I have a co-host after this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nothing happened. You're like, dude. Jesus on his shirt. And I was like, this fucking guy's a problem. You're like, I go to church. Yeah. Yeah. That's a video he posted.

What was the name he put on it? Erlene. I can't believe the perfect little. Willa Earleon. He posts that. People are in the mentions being like, congratulations. Oh, shit.

I was like, oh my God. He didn't get canceled. He didn't get canceled. Somehow let him go. He's laid down. Those are good stats. There's not. There's not.

NFL players, the boys can play some ball now. Ball me. Oh, shit. Yes. We're here. He wants it. He needs it.

Dude, you sound, you sound terrible. And you've already gotten me sick once this month. And I just feel like, am I going to get this? I've never heard of- No, no, I'm not, I'm not contagious. I'm not contagious anymore. No, that's what they all say, dude.

NFL players, the boys can play some ball now. You're not going to beat basketball players at their own game. However, there's not an NBA player that can backpedal and cover one wide receiver in the league. True. I think cornerback is the hardest position of any sport across all leagues. Besides left tackle, yeah, I would have, that's close. It's absolutely close. You had to get rid of one series, which would you get rid of Harry Potter or Star Wars?

But we need to all answer right now. Go ahead, JP. I got first. See ya, Harry Potter. Expelliamos, as they say. I will agree. I'm going to stick with Star Wars. I just feel like there's endless possibilities in that world.

I agree with you guys, man. The universe of Star Wars, you can do way more stuff and there's way more better storylines. I'm keeping Harry Potter. I'm picking Star Wars. I grew up with Star Wars, but for all the same reasons, too, you said, like, you know, the philosophy behind it, The storylines. It doesn't get any better than that. For Harry Potter, the first one for me came out of it was in first grade.

And then we grow for almost a decade and a half. And you see this character development and they grow with you. To me, that's special. I have to stand with Harry Potter. Lord Voldemort or Darth Vader. I mean, that's tough too. They're just like both the antithesis of evil. I think for that argument, I would kind of have to go Voldemort because there are so many

Darth Mall, Darth everybody. Yeah. but the elite of the elite. Like a crime to say Voldemort's name in the Harry Potter world. Everyone says Darth Vader. But if you even say Voldemort, people do not speak his name. He was winning in that battle if you took the Harry Potter world versus the Star Wars world. It's tough to beat magic.

But the force. Yeah, and you got fucking laser guns. Yeah, bro. I think, I mean, who's taking Yoda? Who's beating Yoda? Dobby. Like, yo, Luke Skywalker is bodybagging. Harry?

Yeah. Oh, bro. Harry's the chosen one. Yeah, but he gets so lucky in all of his movies. Oh, that's part of his gift. He was a baby and beat the greatest wizard of all time. My pet peeve of the week, old people drivers. Senior citizens on the road, I strongly believe that once you get over a certain age, let's just say 50, 55.

Okay, I'll move to 55. Once you turn 55, you should have to take the driver's test every year. year. Amen. I'm so sick of these old people out here. Like, okay, let me start that over. When you turn 65 and become a legal senior citizen and reap the benefits of what, Social Security, you get an extra hot dog in line or some shit, get to go to them halls that they all go to and drink a beer, you should have to retest annually for your driver's license because these old people out on the road are a liability. And I see this figure as tall a little bit short of me, but like his head's sticking out like my head's sticking out. And I look over.

Vince Vaugh. Vince Vaughn is at this part and I think to myself, do I fucking even say anything to this man. I looked over, there's like 15 people talking to Vince. It's not like 15 people are talking with Vince. People are all sitting there waiting for their opportunity to talk to Vince. So I think to myself, there's no way I'm getting into that mix. If an opportunity comes up, it comes up. I'm at like 1030, it's like 12, 15.

I'm like, I need to go home. I'm going to get in the flight in the morning. The people are like, hey, cars would take about 15 minutes. And it's fuming in the back of my head. So I walked back. He ends up being with like three other people, three other guys. One guy is a guy that I met. met, he and I were talking during the little drone show.

So I walk up and that's kind of like my way in. I put my hand on the guy's shoulders. I said, hey, brother, blah, blah, blah, like kind of picked up where we left off in the last conversation. I look up. I see Vince Bono. Hey, man, don't let you know. My name's Taylor.

I'm a big fan of you. I've been watching my whole life. I love what you do. Looks me right in the eyes and he goes, hey man, it's really nice to meet you. As soon as our hands leave each other. His two boys in the left and right of him, turn their backs to me, put their shoulders together and escort him away from it. It was the weirdest, most uncomfortable experience ever.

My shout-out, no-free shout-out goes to bubble wrap. When I was a young buck growing up and you get some bubble wrap in the boxes and you just got to pop them and jump on them and snap them and make noises. It always fired me up. Hell yeah. And still to this day, I'll like grab and squeeze and hear that pop, and it kind of just brings me back to my childhood a little bit. So my shout-out, no-free shout-out goes to bubble wrap.

You prefer the big bubble wrap or the small bubble wrap? That's a great question. No, like the little ones, you get a bunch of, like, you get all the firecracker sounds going off. So that always fire me up But the big ones are more fun You get to be more intentional with the pop The small ones you're like I mean all right

I'm gonna try and do this as fast you can You ever get out what you ever get out One of them cookie rollers and fucking roll over it You're like all right hey Nobody touches a little bubble wrap This is mine today Get it out put it on the table And be like

But I did come across one thing And it's a different podcast They have like 200 followers But they tagged tagged me and I don't know They tagged Will in it But it's a video of them talking about Bustin with the boys And one guy apparently went to school with Will

And the guy's like yeah you know Will, just a goofy guy, has fun. Like, and it's really cool to see him on this podcast. Like, I'm thinking, oh, I got tagged. And I might get a couple words said about the boy. So I'm sitting there essentially fishing for my own compliment watching this entire video. They go back and forth about Will, the majority of the video.

It takes a hard left turn when it comes to me. I know, I know Compton very well. That's just how, that's just who he is. Just a goofy dude that works his, works his balls off. Like, how Juan is on the podcast is exactly person to just like, he'll talk over you. Yeah. Kind of rude and kind of, just kind of, I mean, he's kind of just an asshole. This is who he is.

That's it. It's like, yo, the flowers will guy? He's just kind of an asshole, talks over people. I thought to myself, I do fucking talk over people a bunch. But it makes you reflect. I'm like, holy shit, I guess I'm fucking, I guess I'm just that dude that's just an asshole. I wouldn't consider breaking news, but to me it's heartbreaking news. Uh-oh.

Rich Eisen coming soon on part of my take. No fucking way. That's fucking crazy. Now, I will. Let me gather myself. Rich Eisen's going on PMT? Yeah. What are we doing?

Cause. I don't know. What are we doing boys? My ass. Me in the ass. Everything in life, you get f***ing in once or twice. You can take shit on the chin and keep moving forward. It's not how hard you get hit.

That's how much you can keep moving forward. Rich Eisen is a gentleman and a scholar. When he lacks in the hairline he makes up foreign character, he is an incredible, incredible man. I love Rich Eisen. Rich Eisen has told the boys, I will come on your podcast. Even though there is not an engine on this bus, he is going to come sit down with me Willie C. And we're going to talk. And then Jackson have a judgment day if he really earned a

Silverado or not. I have texted him. We have talked on the phone. Here's the issue. Scheduling. When this podcast happens, when this love child is finally birth, it is going to be incredible. What day are we on? 343. We are really close to a year. We're staring down a year right now. 3.43. We might need to do it on the anniversary. That leads into why I drink dips pit. I got out of school one day, took a little, a little victory lap around the neighborhood with a few friends after school. So I had victory on my breath for sure. I was dipping grizzly natural the time in my truck. It's rainy day. I'm going down Caldwell next to the Lipskin football field. I have a, I have like a half full bottle of dip spit in my cup holder in my truck. Me and me and this guy both roll through a stop sign.

And a cop is right here. A cop turns his lights on. I'm like, shit. I know my breath. If he pulls me over right now, I know my breath. So I like go down, I get down the hill and I pull over and I just take a glug, glug, glug, glug of this brisly natural, the saltiest. Important to note, on the back of my truck, I had a I'm on a boat sticker. I had a Beatles sticker and I had a Bob Marley sticker. Yeah, right. Just look at the camera. Yeah.

So, I roll the window. Man, I was like, that other guy ran it too. He was like, I know. I was going to, he was like, whoever pulled over, I was stopping. I was like, he kept going. I was like, okay, well, shit. Should he kept going. He goes, let me see your license.

And at this point, he doesn't smell anything on me. But he goes, let me tell you what. I know a few things about you. He goes, I graduated high school the year you were born. Ernest is a interesting name. And you smoke weed. I go. Why do you say that?

He was like, the bumper stickers day giveaway. Get home safe. It's raining. And I'm like, dude, I was so messed up about it for the rest of the day. And I'll never forget that story. And every time I go through there, I stop all the way now. We're at the Stable Center and Wiz Khalifa and Michael Phelps were in my green room smoking KKKK. Like, I was in rotation with Michael Phelps and Wiz Kalifa and my wife, Delaney.

Dream rotation. I just couldn't believe it. So then Morgan's going on. So we all take the elevator. We go up. We got this sweet. I'm up there. hook with Michael Phelps, Wiz Khalifa.

Some other people were watching. Wiz pulls mine. He's like, some KK robot, whiz. And I was like, yeah. He lays up, yes. And then I look up and it's like, oh, shit, I got 12 minutes before I got to be down there. And we're doing flower shops. So I elevator rush, boom, boom, throwing a new fit.

I'm lit. Walk out on stage. So in my mind, Wiz is watching me right now in this massive thing, right? I'm doing flower shops. And after flower shops every night, we throw roses. Morgan's got a bouquet. I got a bouquet. We go out and milk it.

So I get my roses. And I go out there and I see this group. of fellas and one of them was a tall black dude but I wasn't like oh that's whiz because whiz is up here my mind right I just see I see the fellas it's dark I can't really see much I was like oh I'm throwing roses to the fellas didn't think nothing of it I get back to my green room Seth my manager runs there he's dude whiz caught your fucking roses I was like no way whiz is up there he goes no whiz came down to watch from the pit I was like what and there's this picture out whiz is the happiest year is his sunglasses on he's holding up a bouquet

of roses and just teasing so hard bro that is so fucking Dope. Whiz caught my roses. So the other thing is, I mean, I do have a couple of plans, though, because if he's a douchebag, like, I think maybe I'll just line our entire driveway with bikers and make him drive past every one of them. Bad boys type stuff. Yeah, and then just meet him in the driveway.

Just meet him out there, be like, no. The good ones. The good ones? The most scary ones. Yeah. They're all nice men. They're great people. The most part.

Lying the whole driveway with bikers, right? Yeah. Having drive past every one of them. And then we'll circle him in a driveway. And we'll walk out and meet him and be like, look, I ain't going to clean a gun in front of you, you know I got them. Just know that anything you do to hurt, every one of us is going to do to you. And there's some of these boys that's been upstate that they got some practice.

Hey, the best part about that, you don't have to deliver that message. You have one of your boys deliver that message. And you get to come out, hey, how you doing? Eric, how you doing, man? That's even better. Yeah, I like that. You get to be like the good energy. And he's just thinking, oh, my, these dudes right here.

Yeah, man, make sure you. Yeah, they didn't scare you too bad. Yeah, yeah. They're a nice guy. Yeah, and they're good guy. Yeah, yeah. 38 white powdered beaches different shades of blue in the ocean

not over not overwhelmingly crowded but dude it's a vibe man I'm talking townhouses they got these brick roads so it's narrow it reminds me a lot of Italy I've never been to Italy

but around the pictures you've seen it reminds me a lot of Italy yes I don't trust a man that doesn't have at least one vice if you don't have a vice and you haven't been to prison the military or rehab

I just don't trust you fair enough we all have advices here so I'm not going to disagree Shirking off is mine. I can't stop thinking about this well-done steak. Let me think of how I'd handle it. I would wait for the waiter-waiter, waitress, to come over and probably be like, how are you enjoying your meal?

And I think that's when I take my opportunity to be like, I'm absolutely terrified to tell you that it's a little overcooked. I'm going to eat this. But I don't want to make your job any harder by sending this thing back. No, dude. I'm petrified, but, like, it tastes good. It tastes solid. And then however. And then no, no, there'd be no, however.

I would let them say, oh, no, it's not a hassle. Like, I'll easily take it. I bet no, no, no, no, no, please no. And then as they're like trying to think the plate up, like, look, if you insist, then you back, listen. No. No shot. Listen, this is no problem at all.

We will do another one. And then I bet the manager probably come out, but hey, we'll comp this for you. I have one yes or no question for you guys. Everybody needs to go around to answer. I was polling people all weekend. Do you pee in the pool? Yes. No.

Don't lie, Mitch. I swear to God, I've never peed in the pool. Shut the fuck. Never? Don't say never. Just don't say that. Say 99% of that. I bet you did when you were young.

Maybe when I was a baby. Well, you can say never. Okay, I do not consciously piss in the pool. Okay. Jack, if we're ever in the pool together and you guys see me swim away? If you have the opportunity to like piss in like a bush or something, you should. But sometimes it happens. But sometimes it happens.

I think the answer is just yes. Yeah, I'd pee in the pool almost every time I go to the pool. Dude, you know what's a bit of a bit of. a rush. You feel like you're being sneaky? Taking it dump in a lake. Aquatump. Yeah. Dropping an aqua dump out there.

Say you're, whether you're a party cove or you're just out. I've never done that, but I also haven't been around a whole lot of lakes my life. I mean, I'm just saying, I've pinched a few off out there in the lakes before. Really? Yeah. What's funny is you just feel like your, uh, your swim trunks just down around your knees. But all the same is, it's an aqua dump. It's, it's a fun.

It's a fun experience. The baby gron profile DM'd and as they come on bus with the boys. And we were saying how we weren't going to do it. And so I was like, I appreciate you. We're going to have to pass. And then when he DMed on that Friday night, it was a Friday night and said, like, hey, we've been trending for a couple days.

I think we can make a good show. And I had read that article that he did with, I think TMZ, the New York Post or the athletic and just saw it. It's just like, yo, this dude is a, is fucking delusional. He's one of those delusional fathers living through his kid. Well, really pissed me off is when he tries to play this. I'm doing this all for him. I'm doing this all for him.

I understand. There is a, like, there's a, there's that part of me that sees parents and they, they, They're kids. They might have profiles. And I know, I understand the layout now, the game of social media and everything else. Kids can have profiles and brands and everything else and they can capitalize monetarily off of them. But the way he's doing it through his own son because he's essentially doing it like all himself. The whole, this has been premeditated since before he was born.

His mind's been programmed since he was six. He's saying all this bullshit. That was what festered me up about it. When he came back around to get on, want to get on the bus, it's like, yo, I haven't seen anybody like step out. And I was like, yeah, and then you see all these profiles collaborating with them and saying, baby gronk, going around to 10 different schools. He's got offers. He's got more offers than high school kids. Yeah.

And then seeing his dad, you know, we decommitted or we, we, you know, we're not committing right now to Oregon and saying all this fucking dumb shit. That's what made me be like, yeah, I'm going to step out. Like, you have the kid a chance to breathe a little bit, dude. It's crazy. Yeah, I'm going to step out and check this. What's the biggest celebrity to ever hit on you that was like woof? Oh, my God. What?

I hate it. I say, I'm not one of these kiss and tell clout bitches. I hate that. One of the biggest celebrities to hit on her and her, you have to be like, no, dog. This ain't it. Eminem. No shit. Yeah.

I did not expect that. I made out with him. Yeah? So I've never told this story. Oh, please. I'm so embarrassed right now. No, tell the story. You don't have to if you don't want to.

No, I mean, it's fine. I mean, it happened. So I was with Jeremy Shockey. We were at this party, just Platonic. We were just, Jeremy was huge in Vegas. And we went to this party at the Palms. And Eminem was there. And we were all just talking.

And, um... Do you mind if I get... Look Mark, real quick. What year is this? I'm gonna say maybe 2006. Right whenever him and Mariah were having beef, Eminem and Mariah. Because the first thing I asked Eminem was, I said, did you really fuck Mariah? And he was like, yeah, I f*** that bitch. And I was like, I knew it.

And that's like how we bonded, you know? So then they had like a penthouse upstairs and he's like, we had walked out of the party. And he's like, are you going to come upstairs with me? And I was like, no. And he was like, he looked at me dumbfounded. He was like, you're not going to come upstairs with me. This was after the makeout? Yeah.

And I was like, absolutely not. I was like, I'm not a clout chaser. I'm not going to fuck you just to say I f you. I'm not embarrassed. Like, when she talks about having a cabana boy in the bed when we first start talking. Like, I'm not, we're not weird like that. What is a little boy toy? Okay, got you.

Like a little young. What is it? A cabana boy. Cabana boy. A dick with a pulse. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, a dick with a baby arm.

Yeah, that's what it is for sure. She had one that had a dick dick on them, by the way. Really? Yeah, she showed it to him. It was fucking wild. Because we were friends. I was like, yo. It was terrible.

The bigger they are, the more blood it takes to make them work and they don't work. Okay. It was like it was a fucking negative zero. So you'd rather have a smaller dick than a big day. Yeah, that gets fucking hard and just like, you know, ready to go, baby. Ready to rock. Smaller dicks are way better than big dicks. Smaller dicks are way better than big dicks.

That's all we needed to the moon. So when Bunny comes into my life, I have to sit Bunny down. And, man, this is the first time we've ever talked about this outside of her podcast. I have to sit bunny down and go, look, I have a kid. that you know about that I'm fixing to have to get full custody of. There's also a woman out there that's pregnant with a kid of mine. And Bunny's just like, man, that's a lot. She was like, but I got you, whatever.

I don't have a house. I'm homeless. So she's like, well, the first thing we have to do is get you somewhere to live in Nashville. I was like, well, I can't put it in my name. I'm a felon. I don't have enough proof of income to get the kind of place we need to get her in the right school district. Bunny's like, let's just go get a condo so you have a bedroom for it. I'm like, all right, cool.

So Bunny comes down and we're getting a condo. I'll never forget, Bunny looked at me. And man, it makes me emotional. She said, no matter what happens with us, I'm going to help you get this little girl. And I was like, man, what character? You know what I mean? Like, what character this woman is? Like, look, I'm not 100% sure.

I'm going to be with you. But I'm going to do everything I can to help you with this little girl. That's who? Because, dude, dude, I'm broke. I can't afford the lawyer. I can't afford anything. I'm like, dude, I can't. What am I going to do?

Put the kid in the van? Dude, I'm living out of like a 96 van. And Bunny's like, I'll help you. So Bunny Bank rolled the whole shit. And she never talks about that. It's a true store. You've accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. It's like, where do we go from here?

It's scary. Stadiums. Stadiums. God willing, baby, man. I mean, we were talking offline about how my dream is to do the last show at Nissan. That's like my dream. You know what I mean? Yeah.

If I could get that last concert, because somebody was like, what one would mean more to you to play the last show at Nissan or the first show at Pinnacle or whatever bank's going to buy? You know what I mean? It's like, what would mean more? and I thought about it. That was a hard decision. I was like, I'd really do the last show at Nissan.

Because that's the one I went to with my dad. And that's the one I took my daughter to. You know what I'm saying? So it's like there's that history. They're like new memories at the new stadium. But all my core memories are here at Adelphia Coliseum. You know what I mean? So it's like, to me it means more to play the last show of the old stadium

than the first show of the new stadium. Do you remember BT coming thinking I was actually gay when he came to the Titans? No. You don't remember that? He thought he was gay. So he was with the Raiders the year before. Yeah. And I remember saying like we were on field goal.

And I said to him, like, hey, man, if you didn't have that face mess, I would literally, I'd kiss you. You're so cute. You're this, that. And BT goes up to Ben Jones when he first gets to the Titans. Like, it was like, OTAs. He's like, hey, what's the deal with 77? Is he like, for real? And Ben's like, oh, yeah, he's gay.

But like, we just kind of keep it to ourselves. And we're tired around here. I know. So I wrote him a note. I was like, hey, can't wait to get to know you. So cute, blah. Oh, my God. Big hugs, tiny kisses type of thing.

And I put in his locker. And bro, he was, it took us like three, four months to even get. Yeah, it took us a couple months to even get back to neutral. The COVID year was interesting. Remember we got the week off and beat Buffalo? Beat the shit out of Buffalo. We literally said this asshole was brought to you by Zoom. It's hilarious because I remember that we, obviously, guys, like, we couldn't work out together and stuff like that.

We're just doing like Zoom meetings or whatever. And obviously, we destroyed the bills. And so, like, guys were like next week after the game, like, I mean, it's put on tape. We don't need a break. We don't got to practice. Like, we don't got to do anything. Bro, we can just get on Zoom, do our thing. We can work on our own and then come to game, you know?

To this day, probably the best game we've played collectively as a team. 100%. No lie. Because I always hated tequila. Like, you know, everybody's got their bad party experience. Yeah. Mine happened to be tequila. Your first time throwing up was tequila?

Not like first time throwing up, but like big moment of like, you know, this tasted awful. And then it came up and I was at a wedding and got half in the trash can, half on the bar. Nobody saw it turned around and walked off. But from that moment, it was like that time where you just had that connection. Anytime I smelt it, it was like, I'm about to be sick. Gager body bagged me in high school one time. Yeah. And I literally, unless it's a Vegas bomb.

I don't really do Vegas bombs anymore, but in college, I would do those. Yeah. What was your, what was your, Captain Morgan? No way. I love C. Morgan in college. You threw up? Oh, yeah. What was the situation?

It's actually, you know, first year in college of age. It was me and four of the roommates, and between five of us, finished a handle. It was downhill from there. And so since then, you don't even want to look at Captain Morgan. Don't even look at it. And I was like that with vodka for a while, and I finally started to turn the leaf on vodka. Do I pee in the pool? Absolutely not.

Well, okay, okay, hold up. Depends what type of pool and whose pool it is. You got a pool, if you have a pool in your backyard, you got people over. Are you going to pee in the pool? No, I'm, I will be, no pun intended, pissed if people piss in my pool. Then, you know, I don't. I expect an invitation, but you'll be upset with me. All right.

Then you're not. I'm coming over. You're not, you know, no, no. But if I'm in a, like, I grew up swimming and, like, competitively and, like, huge public pools and sometimes you're in a long race and it's like you gotta go man so that i will when you're like in the middle of a big race sure yeah and that's okay i think so somebody else is coming right water though volume of water though volume of water you're into water ratio it stays under and those pools are so heavily chlorinated it doesn't matter mine's a nice salt water pool that doesn't

have much chlorine in it and you got to keep it nice so so you don't pee in the hot hot and cold tubs at the facility no no do you've peed not in cold tubs yeah no you have yeah yeah yeah Yeah, I promise. Why would I lie to you? That's disturbing, Will. Bro, it's filled with high levels of chlorine and chemicals. It's way worse for us than, you know, a little bit of urine. That's a psychopath mentality right there. You know that? But if you were out there on Austin Echler, you know what we call that?

What check we would give? House call? Milk check. What's the milk check? That's pretty self-expected. You're 2% brother. I love that. Milk check?

Nope. Will you be like, hey, we got White Linebacker out there. We're going. Double move. Nope. You have checks like that? He just looked around and said milk. I think white guys don't belong in the NFL.

Oh, okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean, I don't think so. You guys got a stud. You guys got a stud white on defense. Matt, yeah, yeah. Man Milano. He's Italian.

He's a different. We get to claim. We get to claim. No, we get to claim out. He's not white. Stop saying that. Matt Milano is olive. Dude, it's an honor to be on the field

and you're like the only Caucasian out there. It's got to be happening a lot more when you're on defense. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And when it's like notice and the boys are like, hey, Will, you know you're the only white dude out here? And I'm like, trust me, I've noticed the entire time. Trust me. I've been waiting for somebody else to see this. I've been for you guys to. So yeah, Josh Allen doesn't like white guys on the field. No, I love them. Actually. Easy. No, because I get to give a milk check.

Yeah, yeah, a milk check. It's tough, man. There are some bad body ballers out there. But you, I mean, you don't look like it when you have the, especially with all whites on. You just get exposed with the all white uniforms. Once I go, once I go back in, like I, I, I work hard and I get back into shape real quick. But like I teeter around 242. That's kind of my weight. That's my fine weight, right? 242.

So I teeter between 238 and 244. You what? 22. I don't know if you'd be able to handle that. The mass in the middle, brother. 242, 24. That's my target hunting weight, dude. That's you what I'm gonna seek out.

Oh, yeah. You'd find it. You'd have no problem. Open field. No problem. Opeel. Josh Allen. What were you most nervous about doing podcasts after every game?

Andy Reed. Oh, for real? Andy Reed, there was no, like, I was like, the first thing I thought, I was like, Coach Reed's going to kill me if I really do this. I feel like you just get him a greasy snack. Talk about the games. Talk about this. Just catch a ball on third and ten and then we're good, right?

I'll tell you what, coach, he does a good job of keeping guys in line, even though he likes to have fun with it, man. And he's not a big, like, media guy. So when we actually got him on New Heights, it was, man, it was fireworks. Me and my brother were both sitting there, like, uptight, like, couldn't even. Bro, it was so funny. You were just, like, going down the list of, like, questions, just making sure that we, like, I don't know, just asked them the right shit and didn't, like, wander off into telling too many

stories about shit that we were probably going to have to delete. Incredible episode, by the way. Thank you, man. Once you get your head coach on, it's like, all right, everything's kind of fair game here. That was with us and Brable. We got Brable to come on. We're like, we're good. We're solid.

We were nervous. We were nervous. Oh, for that. Yeah. What kind of tipper are you? Listen, man, you got to be a good tip. I'm over 20%. Are you?

Yes. Are you sure? 100%. There is some literature out there. That I'm not a good tipper? It's your frugal about tipping. It's your frugal about tipping. It might have been a reason you were dumped in the past.

Oh, shit. That's a good shit. That was a fun lead in. No, no, that's not. That was all, that was all blatant lies. Never coming on the show again. That was all blatant lies. Was it?

Blatting lies. You're willing to stay in Tinto's ground. Like, this is where we are not intimidated by your guys' takes. Dude, no. There's no way that that was real about my past relationship. So if you go to a steakhouse, let's say the bill is $1,500. Great service. Drinks came out fast.

The appies were. quick. What do you tip it? 1500? I'm probably going close to five. Nice. I especially good food, good service. I'm here. Hypothetical situation. You're at a coffee shop. You go to insert your card. They say, okay, sir, just two questions right here. And they flip the tablet on you. It says three, four or five. Your coffee was four-fifty. What are you pressing? Yeah, I'm probably going right in the middle. Right in the middle? I'd feel weird tipping more than what I paid for the coffee. What was it like being a dad having 12, 13-year-olds, finding themselves? You know what their, you know what their search history looks like on the explore page yeah it's like chend it's like three four five six knocks like

yeah why is the door lock we know why the door long showers yeah that's kidding that's a tough deal yeah it sounds like quarantine it sounds like you ever call one of them you ever call one of them tugging it hell no i would deny it if i did yeah so you did no no no no it's definitely Carter? No, I meant I've caught Carter but not Carter talking it. Yeah. Not in the middle of the deal.

Somebody else was probably talking to. How did you feel when we had started the podcast at first? Because it was fairly newer especially for players doing it then. Because you guys had just paid Taylor a boatload of money. I mean, I think we just said, can we not do it during the season or whatever it was? I don't know.

We did have a sit-down conversation about it. I don't know if it was me that came to you or Because the Delany one popped off, and that was like an IV story that he told. And it's like, oh, Titan's, because Todd got pissed. I mean, IV, whatever. And so you had to make an example about like, hey, guys, they can take anything that you say and make it into a report. Right. And it's just, this is a long conversation.

And wherever it goes from here. But the point was, the players, it is it's going to get spliced up and it's going to get cut and edited by these guys. And, you know, who knows what's going to come out. You know he wanted to say something. I did. You know he wanted to say something. I did. I wanted to say slap dicks. But you didn't think, you know, you didn't have much of a thought on at all.

You didn't really care? No, I didn't care. No, I mean, I was like, thought it was going to fall flat on its face, but, you know, I didn't care. I really had no idea I was going to have me. I was like, see how it goes. But I didn't care. I don't think I had like a, I mean, it gave me like, it was like free ammunition. I could just give you guys shit at any point.

That was. Yeah, I was, yeah. Literally the first year, every team meeting, I was like, man, I hope something doesn't come out about the pod. I was just praying about it. Dude, we know your humor, brother. I respect it. I respect your game. Don't get it twisted.

You better watch your fucking tone with me, brother. We can step out. We can wrestle. We don't have to step out anywhere. We can do that shit right in here. We're grabbing that knee a little too much. You've been grabbing that knee a little too much. I'm letting you know Will, will bodybag you.

There ain't a fucking chance. I will beat Will's. Move the mics. Move the fucking mics. He's thinking about it right now. No, I'm not thinking about it. He knows he'd have to get a one to him before I had my, got my wherewithal with me. I think you take raves note wrestling?

If you beat my, you come down, we'll fight. and then if you fight, if we fight, you can go do your podcast right in my office. For how many episodes? At the facility? Yeah. What are the boundaries? What do you mean? Like, there's rules?

I didn't know if you wanted a headgear. No. Or gloves or something. You got to wear a mouthpiece. You got to protect those chicklets. The NFL is super, like, it can be homophobic. A lot of guys, we don't play that shit in the locker room. So some do you'd be mouthing off to me.

We were playing the Jags one time. We were switching quarters. So we're like walking in the middle of the field because we're like on the 30-yard line. So we have to get the opposite 30-yard line. One defense. to lie. I'm in a three technique. He's walking behind me. Like, I'm here all day, blah, you can't block me. And I turn around. I'm like, bro. You listen. If that, if you don't stop talking, I'm going to suck your dick. And our center comes out of nowhere. Unprovoking. He goes, and we swallow here too.

By the way, I have to mention because, because I did see Shane yesterday that he was like, if you can watch, it came out today. I was like, I was the beer Olympics. He goes, you dodged a bullet. He goes, it sucks. No, he's lying. He's lying. And I was like, shut up. And then, What we got into was, first of all, yes, he did show me bruise. He's like, this is a weak old bruise, is still yellow. Yeah. And I was like, here's what it is.

You hang out with these guys. And you're like, just a, you're just good guys, like the regular guys. You go, but when you take these fucking assholes, these, these pro athletes, and you just go, we're competing. I go, this switch happens that you forget that they're monsters, like their actual literal monsters. Like, they're actual literal monsters. He's like, dude, I had a guy, grabbed me by my neck and hold me. He goes, I thought we were playing. I thought we were like fucking around.

And then. Is this you? That's me? He goes, I got beat the fuck. And I was drunk so I didn't know what was happening to me until the next day. And he was like, it hurts so bad. Dude, this is why Shane's such a bitch. Okay, tell me, tell me.

Because that whole wrestling, that's me and Shane. That's the fucking. Yeah, he looks like he's suffering right there. Yeah. Do you have any good James Smith's the stories? James is an unbelievable teammate. I haven't even gotten to spend all that much time with him. I really, really, I'm looking forward to it.

My most recent cue of what James was for me, we got in the high. huddle to call take a knee at the end of the game. And we go and that's, that was our situation for the day. It was like the first day. Greenwright tight take a knee, right? James gets in there and I, for the life you can't tell you what he said. It was something like, it was something like, all right, boys, big dub up. Let's go get this bitch on three. I was like, what the fuck? And so I line, I line up and like, oh, like we just take a knee. It's not a big deal, right? And so I'm jogging off the field. One of my tight-end buddies, Lucas Krull comes up and he's like, what the f*** did he just call? And so I was confused. I'm still fucking confused, J-M-O. I have no idea what you said.

Almost like, you know, like, so is he like cancer-free because you haven't done a whole lot of talking about, not that you should be doing it, but yeah, exactly. You do have that up in there. It's like, man, he's out there playing right now. Like, should he be out there in the, they didn't care of my guy out there? Should he be out there? I have one last scan. And that will be another, I think that will be another pet scan. They shoot you with radioactive sugar, basically. And you go, in and you do it, the sugar basically targets the parts of your body that are consuming it. So like, it'll go to your brain, your heart. But then the other parts that pop up on the scan, those are the parts that are eating up the sugar and those are considered to be cancerous. So for me, I had them here

and I had some, I had some here. I'll have that, I'll have one last scan to see how much those have gone down due to the retuximab. And after that, if I go on there and see like a limited amount of black spots, I will in my own head have rung the bell. And I, would have been done in remission at that point. Michigan has three different secret societies. It's like Order of Angel, Phoenix, and then there's one more. I forget what it is. Back over the head.

You don't know where you're going. This sounds bad ass. I got tapped for it one day. And it was like, I got tapped at like 9 p.m. at night and I didn't get home until five in the morning. And I had a bag over my head at one point. Like it was well calculated. They said, hey, you're getting tapped for this society.

You either enter or you're out. You have to say right now if you're in. I was like, all right, man. And then I'm like, okay, walk outside. They leave me. And then I'm waiting there for three, four minutes. all of a sudden some guy with a cell phone walks by, never seen him in my life and goes, it's for you.

And now I have a random cell phone. They're making me go different places in the university, doing specific things. And I end up at this one house. And they put a bag over my head. And they put this metal music on. They drive me for 20, 30 minutes. I have no idea what the actual time was.

But it was a long time. And they're like forcing me to answer these questions. And not forcing me. They're asking these questions. And I'd answer it. Like, that wasn't good enough. Answer it better. And I'm like trying to figure out what these people want for me.

And then like, you go through like a hell week. And it's like right in the middle of spring ball. And so I would do spring ball and then like right at 7 p.m. I'd go to wherever I had to go. It was all like very secret. Like you couldn't tell people what you were doing. Like I couldn't tell my girlfriend. Like it was a wild, a wild time. Yeah. The whole idea was like taking like the 25 most influential people. Influential students. Yeah. Yeah. At the university and putting them in one room for the betterment at the university. And there's a hundred percent turnover every single year. There's like calls and chance you have to do. There's like you have your name with a jingle behind it and like how you present yourself. Like there was rules and a whole bunch of stuff you had to follow. And you'd mean. You'd mean. You'd. You'd mean. You. You'd. You'd secretly every Monday at 10 p.m. during the like during the school year. It was nuts. I remember one time talking to the super rich dude that said like he was trying to buy a house and he said you know because with the master bedroom only had one bathroom and he said it like that and I was like what like master bedrooms only like they have two full bathrooms and but in the moment when they say it you're like yeah dude screw that house. Are you out of your mind?

Why are you going to feel it? How embarrassing is that that they build a house with just one bathroom in the master bedroom? The 30,000 square foot house. Yeah. He's like they didn't have two bathrooms in the master bedroom. You're like, well, that's, I'm glad you didn't buy it. You know what? They deserve it. Yeah. You literally just say, never sell. Yeah. And that's a good point. Yeah. You start realizing like, my stupid house. I got one bathroom in the master bedroom and I look like an idiot. I hope you got it never comes over. I hope, yeah. Yeah. You can't invite him. Yeah, man, that's crazy. You look at the window. Yeah. I got to change my bathroom. Yeah. I didn't even know that was a possibility to want two bathrooms in a man.

Like, that's a dream that you're like, I didn't know you're, I could have that dream. But now, I'll think about every day. like two full bathrooms. Two bathtubs, two showers. In the master bedroom. That doesn't make any sense. That's unpractical. And next time you look at your dumb wife,

brush your teeth next to you, you're like, you should be in your own bathroom. And you're just furious. Like you go, what are we doing? All scrammed in here. Pissed off, bitch. You got to share a sink. For our dude wipes question.

Yeah. Partnered with dude wipes. What is the shittiest moment of your career? There's a bit a bunch. I bombed on a cruise once. And so you're on the boat with these people. And I remember, like, I had to do three shows. And so I do the first two shows.

One show goes, the point, when you would do them, you'd have to do three shows of half an hour. So you'd have to do a half hour, clean, half hour dirty, and then you'd have another show that's like a half hour. And so this is a show actually that a lot of crowdwork, comics that can do crowdwork are very good at because it's like, that's kind of the best thing because you can just go talk to the crowd. Every crowd's different. Every show is different because you're talking to the crowd. But for me, I didn't have like enough, I'm not a crowdwork person. I don't know how to do it. and then I'm not great at it.

And then so I go do it. And like, I just bomb like, because they, they've all heard the jokes because I've only had like basically an hour. So I split them up into the two of those 30 minute shows. And then the third show, I was like, well, maybe those people won't come back. Well, they come back. They just, and I wrote, I remember after show, I wrote an elevator with guys. And they were saying they were like, yeah, there's just two comics. And they go, this one comic was great.

The other guy, they loved him. And on me, they go, that other guy is like, not good. And I mean, my shoulder is touching that man who's saying that. But I have, like, my hat on and not that you would know me. So that was a pretty tight. Like, I was in, I was in an elevator in the ocean. I think it's a moment that you would think you'd be happy. And it's standing.

I mean, I'm just, and I just got off whatever floor was the next floor. I just walked off. Let me see if I can make it here. Yeah, let me see if I can make it. Yeah, because you can be whatever in your own little small thing, but you got to always change it up. So then you can be like, let me see if I can run with these guys. I'm with you.

Growing up in Bonnterre when I went to college, I was like, oh, oh, shit. Yeah. Black guys play football. Yeah. You know? Let me see if I can run with these guys. Yeah. How did it work out for you at first?

In college? Yeah. You know, it's intimidating. Yeah. You know how it is, right? Absolutely, yes. Like, it's intimidating, but it's like once you get that first compliment, dude, hey, this white boy can play. That's all it takes.

That's all right. You're pretty this for a white guy. Okay, we've, we're making it out here. That's what you're doing. I might be one of the best athletes of all time, then. Yeah, yeah, there's no question about it. I can point them out now. Let me ask you.

You live in a locker room long enough. You know, you know, you know, the types. Well, who, I don't know if you've spoken about this on the show, but who, that you haven't seen, okay, so it can't be, who do you think has the biggest dick in the NFL right now? It just off looks alone. A couple can jump out of me right now. I know, you've seen a lot. Because you've seen them all, so the one you might know for sure, but like, who is it? Just the biggest, fattest, uncircumcised in the NFL. What you haven't seen, I'm saying about what you haven't seen, what you think, because I've seen them all. That's a good question.

Yeah. It's got to be a DB. You think? Or live receiver. I think so? Yeah, dude, the big boys, all that meat on the tummy pulls it away. I think DeAndre Hopkins might have something. That's what I was thinking about. Hopkins was in my head.

He has five, he wears five-x gloves. He kind of got that slender guy. He had the shoulders forward walk. Dude, he has the shoulders forward walk. That's what I thought. Short forward walk, big hands, slender body. Known for sex parties? No, is he?

It's rumored. It's been rumored to me. You know what, too? As I might be cheating a little bit because Ben Jones did tell me that it's a And hog. Well, that's good, though, that I got to say it because I didn't know that. And I was thinking, so that, that has to be, he has to have a huge dick. I got to do a show with him a few years ago called the Ultimate Beast Master that I got fired for

because I said it was like this international competition. And like Tiki and I were the host of Team USA. But then like everybody had teams like Team Britain, team India, team China. And when you fell off the obstacle course on the Ultimate Beast Master into the water, you got like eliminated. And they called it the Beast Blood. And so we were doing the show like, you know, forever, like a week. And then the producer in my ear was like, hey, Chris, like when this next competitor goes up, like just give us like an alt name for me's blood.

I was like, all right. So it was a Chinese competitor. And he went up and I was like, I don't have anything. And then as soon as he fell, his name was bin Feng. As soon as he fell, I was like, as he was falling, I was like, oh, shit, I got it. I got it. And I said, I swear to God, I had like a moment. I was like, if I say this, I'm probably going to lose my job.

But like, I have to say this. and he hits it and then they're like waiting and I go I went there goes bin Fong into the duck sauce and and and Tiki

dude was dying laughing I get called to the boots fired during the show see ya and then it was like the last day

anyway and I mean dude Tiki and I still like I just saw him a couple weeks ago like every time he sees me he's like I cannot

I still cannot believe you did that but he was like it was one of the best moments in my life to just call my wife like you never can believe with this kid Chris

just dead. How much did you get paid to go to college? I wish, man. I was on my way to go into Alabama, though. We probably would have got some bread. No question. I didn't get nine, though. I mean, it's not Alabama.

My people wouldn't take nine, though, huh? So they were trying to? No, they was dead. Yeah, they was going, they was going to show some love. They was going to show them. It's like almost like they almost say it. They almost again. They almost at this point.

They always say at Derek in the pond. He's like, I got paid in rings, which is a hell of a thing to say. Yeah. That shit goes hard. I went on to visit. Everybody got Chryslers. You know, it's crazy. Say that again?

Everybody at the dorm had a Chrysler. Had a Chrysler? 300. 300. 300. I'm like Jeeps. I'm like, bro, what's up? How y'all?

Chrysler 300's got to be the one drug dealing car. Come on. There's no way. They said they hook it up when you get there? Systems. Rams. Yeah. You've been somebody who seems to be like one of the leaders of that running back group.

Where do you see this market going? How do you see all this shifting? Like, what is the strategy in your mind as you see it from a bird's eye of you? Yeah. You know, there's been a new narrative that's been coming out because of the contract situation that's going on. And for us, as running backs right now, I think it's important for us to talk about it. What we can do is one thing, which I think is amazing, is keep doing what we're doing right now as far as playing. Like, keep making a huge impact on your team. There's average

players in the NFL, but then there's the outliers. And those outliers are the guys that are setting the new markets, pushing the boundaries. And the reason they're doing that is because they're not the average. So when we have these narratives that are coming out where they're comparing the outliers to the average, it really hurts us, you know, and that that's not fair to those guys. You know, you can't say, oh, well, running backs in general only get this many yards. What about those guys? What about, you know, Josh Jacobs, who just ran for 1,600 yards and all those touchdowns and basically carried the rate, the Raiders offense? You know, what about Zayquan, what he's been doing, you know, Tony Pollitt, those guys that are not the average, right? And when you

compare them to that, you could probably justify, yeah, you shouldn't be paying anything, but you could do that for every position. You know, why are you doing that for the for the running backs right now? And so for us, what I want us to do and what we've decided is let's keep talking about, let's try to change this narrative. Let people know that, hey, we can still make a impact and you see that. You go ask the Giants how big of a, you know, impact Sequin is on the field. Right. To when he's not on the field. For us, it's talking about that. And so people understand that you cannot compare the outliers to the average and then justify paying them because of that. You never thought about going to University of South Carolina? Yeah. It was an option.

Or boy, Joe Hove. Hove, he's a big, he's a game cock. Oh, where, yeah. That's why I was going to commit. What happened? He went to Clemson. Yeah. On the day when I went to commit, I just picked the Clemson hat. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I grabbed my house. That is, I'm going to South Carolina. I swear.

I told my family, I'm going to South Carolina. It was like 30 minutes from the crib. I'm like, yeah, we're going there. And then on commitment day, I grabbed the South Carolina hat, put it down, grab the Clemson. My mom was like, what are you doing? What is you doing, there's no way. He's confused. There's no way you just, you had that opinion.

But it's crazy because I had the commitment day. My coach, my high school coach had a long talk. because he knew I was going to South Carolina, but he wanted me to go to Clemson. And he had a long talk with me before. Like, we had to delay the thing in all. What were the points? What were the points he was given here? What were the, what was the reason why you shouldn't go?

Was you talking about quarterback situation? South Carolina didn't have, like, a real elite quarterback. Like, Clemson got some guys coming in, receivers. I had to learn from Sammy and them. South Carolina didn't have nobody. But that was my main thing. I'm like, I go to South Carolina. I'm going to be the star.

Like, I'm going to go right now, be the star. Clemson had. Did you get a little bit cash? Did you get a little bit of him? No. I didn't know. Mansell doctor just came out. You know, everybody kind of talking about it.

All right. You can't get in trouble anymore. NIL is a thing. Clems is clean clear. You got some cash. I ain't got no cash. New car? No.

Herbert or... Herbert, bro. It don't know. You make it tough. I like Phil's my guy. Rivers. I don't know. That's tough.

That's a tough. They're different, different quarterback. Being a, like, being a defensive guy, what was the like playing with somebody like Phil? Phil is like everything. He was like the coach, the player, the quarterback. I mean, so he kind of did. everything. He made all the line checks. You know, they're different players, like I said.

Did you ever get chewed out by him? Was there every time he gave you a dangnabit or anything like that? No, we used to try to get on his nerves to make him try to, you know, get mad at the defense. So that was our goal, try to get him. You wanted him to curse. Yeah, I wanted to see if we can get. You want to hear an F bomb myself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it never happened.

It never happened? Never. What a guy. Talks the most trash that you've come across. I don't really get people that talk trash really like that to me. There's never been anybody. You're like, man, why does this dude talking? Shit, you was talking trash in London news.

Hey, no, I remember. I remember, bro. Oh, shit, yeah. We played a job. He probably was the last person that was talking trash to us. Yeah, we were with your equipment guys earlier, and they were bringing that up, how I was talking the whole time. Like, Taylor, man, why are you talking so crazy to our whole team?

Remember that, right? Yeah, I do. They reminded me because I probably wouldn't have remembered too much. I do. I do talk a lot of shit. We lived a little bit of a different lifestyle in college. Yeah. I did.

Yeah, I was a little bit more straight-laced. and he was not that. He wasn't that way. It was, we've been, been kind of like peas and carrots since I met up. I actually hosted him on his recruiting visit.

No shit. When he came to take care because I was one year older than him and I could tell right away, I'm like this guy, he was looking for, he was looking for some fun. What did you take him to do?

What was your recruiting? I think we went to their horse track. Oh, no shit. I think we did. I don't know. It must have been nice. You guys win anything or not anymore. The NIL stuff,

I feel like everything's legal now. That's right. You can do whatever you want. We had, We kind of hit it off and then we ended up playing. The two of us ended up playing on the, like, we did line changes at receiver. He and I were always in the game together and he was, he was exactly, as you would imagine, you know, hand under the face mask, always trying to create some kind of mayhem.

Yes. Yeah, the type of guy you want around. You need that bruiser. I've never been around him and not had fun. There's a legendary tale of Mike Brable saying that he would cut his piece off to win a Super Bowl. Said that in 2019? Something like that. They went to the, they went to the championship and then he said, no, I actually won't do it.

And then they, you guys lost. We lost. We lost to the kids. If he would have just held on to it. He would actually not cut us up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess what the segue is here is, what are you willing to do to win a Super Bowl?

I want to work hard. I might give a finger or something, but I mean, I'm not, no, not doing that. That's not happening for you? No. We go over to Boston. Now, here's where my turmoil, turmoil and my heartache and all my adversity is.

I go to L.A. with two cans of Zins. Now, I go through two cans of Zins a day. L.A. is a communist country. because they don't serve flavored zins. Fine, but they still have zin, so I get myself a few cans of chills. Get back. I think to myself, oh, I'm going to get back to Lake Country. I have a little fleet of zins there, nothing to worry about. I have to go to Calgary. Guess what they don't have in Calgary, boys? Nicotine. So now I'm a guy who for the last, let's call it, three years of my life, have gone through two cans of zins a day to going to zero. I can't

tell you how much my family pissed me off for those two days. I was in Calgary and Tailon said something to me. She said something like, hey, can you do this? Can you do this for me? And I look I go, do I call your fucking assistant? And she's like, obviously it was like, go fuck yourself in a hurry. Even in my mind, like, I don't know if any of you guys have quit nicotine or heroin. It's hard because, like, you know what you're saying and doing and feeling is wrong. And you know that the feelings you're having are because a lack of something else. But you also don't give a fuck.

So you're like, she gets mad at me. So I'm thinking enemy. And so I'm coming at Taylor, literally like two days ago, Taylor, we're on the phone. She's like, Taylor, I love you. I will never go through another nicotine like situation with you where you have to quit. So luck of this whole fire thing, I'm actually 12 days sober. My shoutout, no free shout out, is going to go to ice cream. Had it three days in a row over the weekend.

Thank you. Do we hit the twisted question? Get those cans back up. Oh, I got you. Breathe. I think the. mainstream media is dialed in on the Chiefs losing this year. I don't think they'll win the division. I think the rain is over. Now they might get into the playoffs, but they're not going to

win the division. I think this is the year where the Chief's Kingdom falls. I believe in the Raiders. I believe in Jimmy G. The boys got Josh Jacobs back. And you got to think right now they don't have Chris Jones in that building in Kansas City. And then without Chris Jones, number one, they're not the greatest defense anyways. But then without Chris Jones, they're abysmal on defense. They need to have Chris Jones. But if they go into the year with 9th,000, they're not. having him, like, it's just going to make it that much, it's going to be that much more of a hole. And yeah, they are thinner at receivers in years past. And I do think this is the time where all the hot dogging out there by Patrick Mahomes, it catches up to him.

What's it like knowing that everyone who didn't draft you first overall in fantasy is probably eating their words right now? What's it like knowing that you're carrying a lot of fantasy teams out there? Man, I mean, hey, it's a long year. You know, I think we all know that. He's doing it. He's doing it. For me, I'm not. focused on, you know, one game. It's got to happen. It's got to keep going throughout the whole year. Do you ever think about it when you're going off? You're like, oh, yeah.

Fantasy teams are hitting right now. I know the boys are hype. I do not. No. Never? Never? Oh, dude. You imagine that? Just imagine that. Anytime I've gotten a tag on, like, well, if somebody slipped me in on their defense, like they're getting a 12-yard run, like, that's a point. If they only know. That's a point. A reception, PPR league?

Oh, that's a point. You're not thinking that to yourself at all. You got to be thinking I'm going crazy because I remember we're playing like A.J. Brown would be going off. People would be like, hey, your fantasy is like, oh, my fan, I'm killing them on fantasy right now. Like in the middle of the game, like the third quarter. Yeah, I mean, if someone brought it like as a joke, yeah.

Like I'm not like sitting there in game like every time I score. That's six for the boys, you know. That would be. Six for the boys. You should write that six for the boys on your shirt under the jersey. Oh, yeah. And lift it out. That's six for the boys should have drafted me.

Yeah. Yeah. That's like the most un-Christian McCaffrey thing. ever, but it would be dope to see. We're going to do a tier talk real quick for you. Best post-game snacks. If you're looking at the cabinet and you see the candies, you see the salties, you see the sweets, but then you see a bag of blue Cool Ranch Doritos that's your first, that's your

first get. You're willing to look to some other choices as well, but you're not passing up on Cool Ranch. You're getting that immediately and then you're thinking, what else am I going to get? So that's my tier one. Tier two would be peanut M&Ms. That's a good one, too. That's a good one.

So tier three, honestly, because of what you pick tier one and tier two, I would probably go with something a little bit lighter, like they got the boom chika pop popcorn. So if you're finishing up a series on the plane, it's a five-hour flight from Pittsburgh back. I'm thinking if I'm going to eat when I'm back at home, I'm going to be a little bit lighter on my third. So I'm going to go with the boom chika pop.

It says how it's low calorie right there. So you figured it's got to be good for you. You finish your show with something lighter. Quick break, quick hydration break.

My wife's doing something for me. I don't know what it is. And surprises, I love them when they're happening.

However, the way my routine brain operates, it fucking. throws me off. She drove my ass to a fucking wolf park where we hung out a wolves all day long. That was fucking awesome, but I was pissed. I'm not lying, boys. We packed the car up. We drive to Montgomery, Alabama night one. And I'm thinking, hey, sweetheart, like, is it here? Is it in Alabama? I don't know what's going to be in Alabama that's going to get my rocks off and you're going to fire me up. No, she won't tell you. No, she won't tell me. We got to stay in the hotel overnight. She's like, I'm like, how long is it drive today this morning? We got to get up and leave by like eight or nine in the morning. I'm like, how drive's not going to be long?

probably three more hour drive. And by the time we're in the fucking, we were driving back from Athens, like on the windy roads or whatever, say you're in it like that. I'm thinking, what in the fuck is going to be wherever we're going

that you think I'm going to be so excited about? And why couldn't we fly? Like at this point, why couldn't we fly? What's the closest airport? Where are we at? But then we pulled up, I was like, I don't, sweetheart,

I go, I don't know what you're about to see, but I'm just going to tell you right now, I think it's going to be surprised about me being upset about this. Because unless we're swimming with Oracle, whales at this point. I don't know what we're doing. But we pulled up to this wolf reserve and it was awesome. So anyway, I do love the surprises once they're happening. However, I fucking putt. She did say,

listen, relax. It's going to be chill. The boy just, his head gets in a blender. However, love the surprise. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear will happy birthday to you thank you boys I appreciate that 47 years old today

Hands are on this? Hands there, yeah. Arch your back a little bit from there, too. Ooh! Ready? One, two, three, four. He's out. I was hoping so bad you would not park.

Oh, you were about to go and I clinched them boys up. You alluded to your last stop a minute ago. How refreshing has it been to play in Seattle? Oh, man, it's been a, it's definitely been a, A total kind of 180 from, you know, 2018 to 2019, what I had to deal with over there, it's been, it's been amazing. But I will say, you know, that was one of the first things Pete told me when he traded for me. He was just like, hey, we're going to let you be you, you know, enjoy who you are.

I know you like to have fun. You like to joke and do all those things. Be you, we'll never take that from you. And for me, it's been the best football I played in my career. So, you know, I always give credit to those guys and I always tell them, you know, how much I appreciate them from, you know, kind of saving me from, I had a little joke back in the day. I was like, I came from the shithouse to the penthouse, and it's kind of what it's been, bro.

It's been like that since I've got here. Do we have any rock paper scissors coming up on the radar in the future? Oh, for sure. I go scissors like 99% of the time. Yeah, I like that head game you're playing right now. Setting up the entire world to slip them, George. Just wait until I actually go scissors again, and I'm going to beat up so I'm going to beat so many people.

I can't work down. You're in my head, just now I don't know what to. I'm going to be ready because it's going to be a touch then. I need you to seek out the camera, and I'm literally going to be playing you and write rock paper soon. You know, that is. I'm going to try to get it on the pylon, the end zone pylon, like die for it and knock it over. It's going to be sideways.

I'm going to be laying next to it. I'm just going to rock paper series while laying on the ground. That would be so elite, dude. Yo, how good is Christian McCaffrey for you? I see you wearing that hat right now. I saw him jump over at DB. Yo, that is so awesome. I need that.

Thank you. I need that. I know. For sin. Oh, I love that, man. And there's no one that supports their. teammates more than George Kittle, it seems like. Have you always been that way?

Oh, yeah, dude. I love free stuff. Any of my teammates, give me a shirt or a hat to wear. I'll wear it anywhere and everywhere, baby. I'm a proud 49er supporter. I'm for the boys. I was wearing here for the boys shirt this morning. I got one.

I got a good one. I got a good one. Shit that'll get you beat. You flying in a chick and she wearing another dude's jersey on your team, man. That shit gets you beat. You know, that dude on the fly. Did he smack her? Did he smack her night?

Did I just fly in the top? Like, you know what I'm. Has that happened? Has that happened to you? That ain't never, that ain't never happened to me. But it happened to dudes, I'll play, I ain't going to say no names. But I'll be looking at it and saying, like, he flew her in and she's rocking my jersey. Do I know her?

Pretty wild. That's tough. That's tough. Yeah. It's demoralizing as a man. Yeah, yeah. Like, if that happened to me, I don't think I could, like, I don't think I can get erection around that girl.

If that happened to me. Or if you do, you're just disappointed. Of course, yeah. Man, I'm, I'm a, I'm a, you're like, man, I'm a cuck. Yeah. Would you let your wife and daughter wear my jersey to the game if we was on the same team? No. What do you know?

Hell no, no. She shouldn't be my wife if they, my, and he said my daughter, I'm just thinking a little rude right now, rocking the lady's jersey. What are we doing? I'm out here covering puns and shit. What are we talking about? But listen, I mean, people are going to love him because of what he did in the past. But, well, as you know, like, sometimes you just don't got it anymore. It's as you know, you just don't got it anymore.

Were you ever part of a squad where you guys would hit the street? Like, not like locally, but you would go somewhere, travel somewhere for a quick night? Yeah, when I was in San Francisco, bro, you know, I told you this before. When I was in San Francisco, we kind of like hung out a lot. And after we win games, because San Francisco was so close to Las Vegas, we'll take flights. Boom, we get it. They didn't have a party bus waiting for us. We jump in that party bus.

Go hit that airport straight to Vegas. Party here for a day. Come back. You know, we had Mondays off so we knew we can get back Monday. You know, everybody be at the facility in the theme room. That's when you know, we're like, okay, yeah, that was a good night. That's when your steam workout started. Your steam room workout started.

That's how my steam workout started. You know what I mean? I got used to it. But, man, in San Fran, we used to do it a lot. Every time we went, we went somewhere. As a group, we turned up, turned out, and still made it back and was able to, you know, do our workouts and all that craziness. But we used to get it in in San Francisco, like late 2000, around 2008, 2010, 11, we was turning up. Just to have the best hookup at a pumpkin patch over at Stu Leonard's.

His name was Francisco. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I used to save me the best pumpkins on the path. It was a grocery store. Would you have to pay for him? Yeah, I would give him. I would tip him out. Like hey, when you see like perfect perfect pumpkins put them aside.

This is like 2018 around there, 2017, 18, 19 actually. I would just, you know, have his number text them when the pumpkins came around like, hey, same thing as last year. Yeah. Put a couple nice ones to decide. You get a good. Well, you see a couple nice ones. Yeah. Tip them out.

What's a nice pumpkin to you? Like what is a nice pumpkin? Like a nice pumpkin. What does that look like to you? So it's kind of like a perfect, not a circle, but like fatter. like a fat like half-moun on each side kind of you know what with all all the grooves like perfect yeah are you like deep grooves or you kind of like you want a little deep deep deep you like that deep yeah fuck I love pumpkins you like you like a thick stem I like a thick stem yeah

thick stem coming out where you can just grab it oh yeah 100% you like a taller pumpkin or you kind of like a more like a short like a bully kind of like my body like short and wide like that you know you can't help but think about it with that there was like a 30 for 30 episode with the referee in the basketball that documentary it's like you you just think like man some of this stuff they do like people with the high integrity in the referee world like you have to it's almost like it has to be like a fluid you know test exam whatever it might be because it's like you just have no clue what goes on especially if you have 17 officiating teams seven on each one a lot of people and that was always my one of my biggest fears when I was at the league office what if we have like an

NBA situation with gambling and things like that so the league the league has groups that they they look at the betting lines. They look at how calls, officials' calls are impacting the lines, how they're impacting games. They look, the officials go through a crazy security check, bank records, they talk to their,

they go knock on doors and talk to their neighbors before they're hired, any kind of business relationships, any kind of conflict of interest. It's like, it's really, to get hired as an NFL official, you go,

I don't know of other jobs that have that level of scrutiny, you know, coming in. Like, is it like such a straightforward, criteria to where if referees were in this new wave of the gambling and everything else to where they graded just above and be like, okay, I can have a down game here because I'm grading out so

well on the year. No, dude, you're absolutely 100% right. And this is something we always guarded against in terms of with the evaluations because a lot of officials, they would keep track of their grades. And they're like, okay, I'm at this level. I can't afford another missed call. So I may not throw my flat, you know, so that it has an impact because that's right. You think about just psychologically that can happen. So we always try to like guard against that and create an evaluation system where it wasn't solely just so objective where it was like, okay, your grade is based on your calls. You got 100 calls during the season. You got 93 right. You're 93%. There was some subjective elements added in terms of like, you know, you have your supervisors. You're grading them

on other things. So they're not just solely grade-based, hall-based, because like you said, then, you know, if I know I can't get another incorrect call, I might be less likely to throw my flag, and you can't officiate that way. Right. You just, it's a problem.

What's your expectation going into the third week of November this year? What's your, you know what? Here we go. What's your expectation for Ohio State this year? I'm a big expectation, man, just like every year, man. For us, it's Natty or nothing. I know you being a team of North, guy. You have your own opinion. And I respect it. I respect it. And yeah, I can't talk too much.

I didn't beat y'all. So I have respect for those guys over there. I don't like y'all, but it's respect. And I think that team over there talking to the DC, Mike, who's with the Ravens now, my first time actually talking to him, and since we played him in 2021, and he had a lot of respect for me. Seena Joe Boo, I got to see Hutchinson. It's all respect after you, after you're done playing in that game, because we know how hard that game is if you played in there. So it's not from respect for me. I'm still a little bitter from it, just being honest. But this year, I hope we get you guys and we get to go to the Big Ten championship and win at Natty, man. So that's the goal for us every year. But that's the big game every year. So I'm excited to see what happens this year.

Missouri, you did get a little whiter out there. A lot of white folks. You said when you were in high school, you were pants down to your damn knees, all that stuff. So, you know, coming from Pomona, California, first time in Missouri, you know, I'm walking around. I'm like, damn, you know, It's because it's predominantly white school, so I'm like, I never talked to a white girl in my life. So I get to the school. I'm like, God damn, it's some bad white chicks. You know, they look like they eat stuff and they got butts. Usually I, you know, come from California, you don't see that.

They're straight back. It's an eye opener. You know, I'm trying to get at this girl. She's like, ugh, don't touch me. And I told the homie like, damn, he had five white roommates. I'm like, damn, what's wrong with me? They like, damn, man, you look like the movies. You look like a game baker in the movies.

I'm sagging, 40 jeans, 5X white tea, go all the way down. down to my knees. I'm wearing Air Force ones. They was like, you need to change your style. I started wearing rainbows. James got tighter. Yeah, that is so funny. How quickly did that transition happen for you?

Real quick. Oh, I'm like, I mean, it was like, it may be a week. Once I got that check, I'm like, check me to the mall where y'all shop at. Went to like Albert Cumbian fit. What is that? Abercombeian fit? He had never heard him. And then it was over with after that.

You know what I'm saying? That same girl wasn't saying, you know more. He loved. Oh, that same girl, she wanted to talk to me. I had to hear her with the same move. I was like, oh, don't touch me. She's like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm like, I'm just fucking witchy.

What's good. Happy Halloween, happy Halloween. The finale is officially here in the weather. Garrett's fucking, Gary just goes, God in his stance. Do we boys want to talk about our,

our costumes real quick? Gee, are you a UFC champion, brother? I am Iron Mike. Oh, you're Iron Mike. I'm Iron Mike. The American, All-American boy. All-American boy.

Future defeater of Connor McGregor. Absolutely. Mitchie. I am Stanley Elnats from the movie Holes. Phenomenal movie. I got my sploosh. You have a body armor water? Yep.

And I'm digging holes after we're done. That's a good, well put together costume. I'm a wizard. I have my orb here. I can do it and ponder what life secrets are for you. JP, I think we all know what you are. Yeah, I don't really need to say much about it. One of the greatest authors of all time.

Somebody that's inspired me a lot. J.K. rolling. Yep, green eggs and ham. And Delaney, before we force you to take your mask off, what are you? I don't think lost brother of doink. If you know who that is, you'll know. I've been in Twisted Metal since six years old. Well, Compton, what are you?

I am a Michigan Wolverine. You're a Michigan man. After last week has unfolded, hey, run, run, run. Check run. It's going to be a run. After last week has unfolded, I thought it was a great time to break out, put the use of Michigan jersey that they made for me.

I got the wrist coaches on. It says, look at coach. The other one says it's either run or pass. I got the little tape over here, asterisk 7 and O. Scully, yeah, I got the cleats on. I'm a Michigan football football. Max.

Victory cigars. Who brought him out? I did. I did. You brought him out? I bought him the night before. I had our equipment guy. You know, Adam, I texted him. And they got, end up getting three boxes. So it was about 100 cigars. I got cutters, lighters, all that.

Shot him over a Venmo. They got it all set up. And then he just, he texts me the day of the game. He's like, what do you want me to do with the cigars? I'm like, right before, you know, right before we come in after the win, we got to bring those bitches out and pass them around the locker room. And literally all hundred cigars were smoked in the locker room from equipment guys to staff, Literally everybody was lighting up in there and it was, it was legendary.

Victory cigar, man. I wonder what that locker room smelled like. You know, waking a success. It's going down the hallways, you can see smoke. Like, everywhere was, it was smoked out, but it was, it was awesome. I enjoy being safe, but I also enjoy keeping the seatbelt off for the first 15 seconds of the our car ride together. So I can get the hole. You put the seatbelt off from me?

From Compton. Like a pole, like a doll pull string, dude. Keep you put that seatbelt for me? The first ding. It's like an alarm goes off in your head. I don't want to say it. That is, to me, that's in the category to get you beat. When that, when that beeping starts to happen, I'm like, I really hope they dial this in.

I hope they heard that. And then once it goes probably seven seconds after the beep, no, after the ding. I'm like, okay, I got to say something. Seven seconds, you're in the third ding by then. Yeah. You do the pole, you pull your seatbelt out? I don't know, is it? There's only two of us here.

And it only happens in the front seats. If you're in the back of your seatbelt on, you're all good. But yeah, you're in the past year. You're good to die. Yeah. You want to do what you want with your safety. That's fine, but just don't annoy my ears. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, is that me? You just got waffle. Yeah. Yeah. I got waffle. Barely. Yeah, barely.

I feel like waffle. Waffle in Will's relationship. I don't know if it's actually bad. I know. You're right. You're calling it. It happened with the baby. Something happened the other day.

She just started barking. She saw something across the street out the window and just starts barking. I'm like, Waffles, shut the fuck up, man. No, that is so real. And then I look over to trial. I'm like, I'm just ready for her time to come. It talks for two and a half But it's like to the point like

We know the relationship Just is where it's at And so I like like making more extreme jokes Because Charles like you hate waffle I'm like I don't hate waffle But then sometimes I was like God damn it waffle Just nothing's happening out there

Waffle is now just a roommate Yeah The roommate you don't like Never cleans up after themselves Sheds like she like sheds up What she stress about? Everything bro I got Waffle

Like this gate is not gonna kill you Go past the gate It lives in our house. The kids gate. Dude, I got one. I posted her last week on my story because she was like trying to like jump up on the couch and couldn't. And I was like, Waffle, what are you doing?

Like, just jump up on the couch. And she's like, like, looks over at me. Now she's got them fangs that like come up over. You get really underbite. You can really see that relationship going downhill. I know. You could. You know, and I heard like a lot of people, you know, talking about finding the right

person to settle down with it. It's not find the right person, dude. It's become the right person. Yeah. You attract people who are at, as healthy, emotionally, mentally as we are. It's like water meets the same level of water. You know, like we attract the people who are as healthy as we are. And if we become healthy, we attract healthy. And now I'm engaged to be married and I put in the work. And I still don't

have the distractions of chasing pussy around. Like, I don't have the distractions of being wasted, drinking, doing drugs. Like, I literally don't waste. time. You know, like I don't waste time on shit. Like I'm pretty largely always just laser focused on what I want to accomplish. And now I've got this great life partner who helps me accomplish. Getting into recovery, it's kind of like getting into a swimming pool. Thinking about getting in a swimming pool and dipping your toe in the water and your toe tells you that water's cold and you don't want to get in. And if you think you're going to go around to the shallow end and walk down the stairs, and then gradually get into the swimming pool,

you're fooling yourself. It's never going to happen. We all know that the way to get in that pool is to jump all the way into the deep end. There's no way around it. When you land in that water, your first thought is, wow, it's cold. But we can also relate to that it's pretty quick.

It's shockingly quick, how fast you acclimate. Now, the problem with this analogy, particularly, as it relates to me telling it to BAM, is that we can all understand that you just cannot go around shoving people into pools and expecting them to the thank you for it, let alone stay in. And I tried to shove him in the pool, man, and he just doesn't want to be in the pool. You're in the podcast business, and you have a guest, and Peloton calls you. This guy, Robert Kennedy Jr. is a, is a Democrat.

I don't know Robert Kennedy Jr. I've seen his videos. What about Robert Kennedy Jr. Would make your pompous, arrogant, and ass pick up a phone? Bike riding is. somebody else, you better not, like, like this guy's fucking Hitler, some horrible fucking human being that walks the face of the earth. He's a fucking Kennedy. He's a smart guy. He has his own

beliefs and his values. His podcast has to come down. You sell stationary bikes for a fucking living. You are a fucking clown. There is something mentally fucking unstable about you, that you have the balls to pick up the phone and call somebody and tell them to take another person, another fucking guy's fucking podcast down. Really wrap your head on that. Do you know what a fucking absolute pompous, arrogant, I don't even have the rest of the words for this. Like, let this man cook. Yeah, he's just kind of sitting there like, yeah. It's fucking

mind-boggling to me that you could be that arrogant. How did you become where you're choosing people over business? I don't ever choose money over people ever. The best example I can give you is going through COVID is no matter what goes on. We're going to go through a lot of hard times. We went through the crash in 2008 and 9 we never laid our people off all these people that are in this building strap up and go to battle with me every day so the ufc is this fucking battleship and we're cruising and we're fighting the fight every day some people have been here for 10 15 20 years so the way that i am and we're either all going down together or we're not going down at all that's just the way that i'm fired in the way that i look at it and when i look at my employees so think about this and

this is the way that i look at it how many games have they missed that their kids played how many performances have they missed that their kids performed in at school? How many hours did they miss playing with their fucking kids and all this kind of shit? These are the things that I think about. And we hit some hard times and that's it. And what goes out the window is all the shit that you've done for the company. All goes out right out the window. That shit. Not with me. I don't forget. I don't ever forget. Hey, was he was he, uh, who's like your inspiration behind all of this Sunday conversation? You nailed it. Oh, I know. I know, I know, Zach, but is there more out there? That's actually not true. That was probably the funniest thing you've ever said, but that was not, that's not true.

No, no, that was hilarious. I just always have done that my entire life. I've just done, like, I've liked to get in that weird pocket with people. When I was a little kid, I tell the story all the time. It's before I knew right from wrong, I was probably 10 years old, I would act like I was in Myrtle Beach and walk around my cousins. We'd get in elevators with older people, older people, and I would act like I was mental handicapped.

Let me, let us take that back. We just, my cousin, we just had to put him. We just had to put him down. My first cousin, we just put him to, he died a few months ago, a month or two ago. he was developmentally disabled. No, I mean, that's true, though. Like, I act like I was mentally handicapped. But I did that when I was little.

That was like a fun thing me and my cousin said. We'd be on vacation and I would just walk around and like, look at people the same way. I do something in the conversation. Act exactly the same. I was 10 years old with 50-year-old people in elevator. And we just give them a little razz. We razz them.

We yank their chain. And that night, when we're driving back after the Notre Dame, Ohio State game, we're all in the car, like, it's late. And Notre Dame loses. So Shane is legitimately upset. Shane was down bad. And Caleb, we're driving back. And Caleb's like, man, this is a boring right back.

I need to get this thing going. Shane and I go out because the Taco Bell drive-thru was long as shit. So we had to go to the restroom. Going outside, going to the bathroom, we come back. Caleb moves from the back seat to the front seat where Shane was. It was a peak good bro high school argument. Shane's like, piss. That Caleb's in the front seat.

He's like, why you got to do this, man? Don't make a scene. You made a scene. You created a scene. Dude, don't make a scene. Get the fuck in the back. You don't kill myself. And Caleb's just sitting there like, I'm not fucking moving.

And Shane's like, this is where you want to die? you want to die tonight and Taco Bell Drive-Thru? Taco Bell Drive-Too. This is where you want to die? I'll die. What are they saying? What are they doing? There's a P.D. Crews would die.

There's a P.T. Cruzee who's going to be gazing upon them. I'll die right now. They're fucking fluid, dude. I've both to die in this Taco Bell drive-thru right now. I lived on Dale's property for like three years. Is it the farm? Is it like the old, like, Weston Town? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Weird stories. The Whiskey Rivertown. Yeah, yeah. That was fun. I lived there for three years. I lived there, yeah. Funest times in my life. I was like a rookie in the Cup series, 21 years old,

living by myself in my house I'm renting for the first time. And like Dale's 1,000 yards through the woods. And Dale was still racing the time. So we would get done with these races on Sunday night, get home at 10, 10.30. And I would go drive a four-wheeler through the woods to Dale's house and get absolutely wrecked. Yeah, like six hours and then one-eye, a four-wheeler through the woods back to my place.

That was like the funest. So Dale's, yeah, Dale's so much fun. And, yeah, it's cool. This is that eight bus. That is awesome. Taking a four-eiler. Just ripping through. Yeah, like, I'm going to go over to Dale.

You're going to go out of here. Like, no, yeah. Just going through the woods. No worries. I mean, just in the woods. He's in the whiskey town. It seems like it exceeds the hype it already gets. Yeah, it's, it's slowed down a little bit.

I got a couple kids now. So it's, it's slowing down. But there was some wild stuff that happened in the town that was, uh, that I can't say. You didn't know your podcast. I can't say. And I don't know if you guys heard the news. We're top 10 podcast on Spotify. That's right.

That's right. Sports podcast. Hold on. Top 10. Yeah, just for clarity. Top their podcast in America. Sports. Well, he's just saying if it's a football, like we're talking all sports.

Yeah, we're sports, baby. We do it all. Yeah, I mean, thanks to all you guys, everybody listening, especially on, you know, Spotify, everybody who's doing Spotify rap. I wish you're trying to get love. Thanks to all the boys in the back, man. You guys are the best. No, but you guys, listening all day, every day.

It's awesome. It's crazy that you're doing. I was surprised. I mean, I guess it's not surprised. It's like an expectation you always want to have, like being a top 10, but actually seeing all year long where it. top 10 sports podcast because sometimes I check like, you know, I'll check like a couple times during the month just to see like where an episode might have landed just to see if I can get

a bead on how the rankings kind of work in Spotify. I know we're always top 50. Sometimes we've been fortunate enough to be like top five, top 10 top 10, top 10 sports podcast in the U.S. on Spotify and we're sitting there at 10 that I mean, I was fired up. It fires you up. He's got to come on the show in 24. Like we're getting there. What's our next step? Do we reach out to his people now? No, I know one of his people. And they texted me over the weekend and was like, hey, I will try my best to get this in front of his face before the holiday. Yeah, at the end of day, we will go wherever the rock is. We would love to work out in the Iron Paradise.

We will bend the earth to sit down an interview. Because this could be just so much more than a podcast. You're right. Iron Paradise. Wake up. Let's spend a day with the Rock and do what he does. The Rama Boys. You say, do what, Mitch?

No, yeah, diet of f*** meals. Massive. All the French toast and cookies. Yeah. Cookies, yeah, dude. But also, if he came to Nashville and actually sat on this bus. That would be, clearly iconic.

I'm just thinking that we will probably have to go to him and make it work. Right, which is all good. Which is fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do whatever it takes. I think it would be a fun experience, a more fun experience for us to go see him and do some of the things he does and make a day out of it. Maybe, maybe both. We just got to go to the bus.

We'll go, you know, we'll go. We'll get the PJ. You help us? We'll get you back home. Yeah. That's big time. So, yeah, we're in to hang out with the Rock. The round up my bad is, uh, Roo taking a picture of Santa.

It's not good get her going. But you have, like, arguably the most adorable photo on the internet of all time right before she's about to cry. Oh, bro, bro. Listen, we had a visit to the South Pole. It was not necessarily working out the way we were wanting it to. And I was like, hey, sweetheart. Like, you know, give him a shot. Give Black Santa a shot.

I know we told you about who Santa is. So I'm holding her. I pick her up because she's beside herself. And I pick her up. I'm shaking her. I'm like, Rudy and Dad, Dad. And it kind of like gets her like in the zone. And I go, hey, I'm going to sit you on Santa's lap.

Remember, that's Santa Claus. We want to take a picture of Santa. Yeah. I said, I'm going to sit you on Santa's lap. We're going to take one picture. We're going to take one photo, and Daddy's going to come pick you back up. Okay. And then you sit her down and bless her little heart.

She was trying to hold and keep it together. I was like, one photo. Okay, here we go. Take the photo. Take the photo. And she just slowly is just breaks. And we heard of him and grab her daddy. You did great.

You did great. You did great. You did great. Here's for Shah Mendenhall. I'm sick of average white guys commenting on football. Y'all not even good at football. Can we please replace the Pro Bowl with an all black versus all? all white bowl so these cats can stop trying to teach me who's good at football.

I'm better than your goat. I'll tell you right now, we're sure. He got hacked. He had to get hacked. You think so? I don't know. He just brought us back 50 years. He got hacked.

He got hacked. I know this. He ain't blocking a punt if I'm setting on him. He got hacked, bro. He did right. Hey, that is so wild. He's been up 45 this morning. He had to get hacked.

If he's hacked, he's, he's deleted. That's deleted already. That's a real tweet. And he already got 3.8 million views. Well, you know that's gonna take off. 3,000 comments, 1,000 likes. Oh. Yeah, let's talk about it.

Wait up, wait up. Promoting the Civil War Bowl. Yeah, that's... Oh my God. All white versus all black. Running back, the edge is us. Christian McCaffrey. Derek Henry.

Bro, like, if you're going off this year, Derek's got like 400-something yards total this year. Like, what do you talk? If you put Derek into 49ers' offense, he'd be dominant. Number one, Kyle Shanahan's white. You got to find a different head coach.

The Steelers. As it stands, coaching staff, us, running back, us. I mean, that's not fair. They just start hiring black people with head coaches. Go online, us. Receiver. Us. Y'all, yes.

DBS. Us. So close. Quarterback, it could go anyway. Either way, that's a very, that's a very balanced. Even and that. So it's running back if we're, if we're doing that. Like, I think we just have Christian McCaffey.

Yeah, that's about it. Fullback? Oh, yeah, you got what, Juice. Ricard. We got a blocking fullback. And we got juice if we want to get. get tight end, us. I get y'all that tight end.

D-Line is pretty balanced. I mean, this year, I would get- Pass rushers us. Interior D-line might be y'all. Backers. White dudes. Here's a metric that we have to think about. Two weeks to prepare.

I'm taking the all white squad. Shout out there about who's been listening all year long. Been a hell of a year, boys. Been a record year. Big ones coming next year. I know we're working on a lot of different stuff. We did this past year, you kind of like look back

on all the shit that we did, like, with the tour. We did like two episodes a week, like in the spring for a little bit of time. Look at Slips and Picks, the gambling show that Delaney's co-hosted on or a college gambling show, bet the buss. Bus with the boys in the year, booking guests trying to lean into

kind of like the NFL nature of busing with Taylor myself versus doing all the lifestyle interviews and podcasts, which we will get back to doing in the off season. Obviously, it's been Taylor and I's first year kind of out of it together. We've been trying to pour in and figure out where our lanes are, like doing the pro football

football show with Big Cat, being on the yak each week, like doing surviving. Like, we've been trying to do a lot of different stuff. Our bus scenes is kind of going through some transition right now. We have Under the Hood, which is like our behind the scenes of everywhere we kind of travel, fun stuff we get to do,

and then we have bus scenes, which is kind of the elements around the office. JP's kind of taken that and ran with it and threw in some new wrinkles. It's been kind of like an organized chaos, I guess you could say. But shout out to everybody's been listening all year. It definitely means the world. 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 out. 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. Tired and sick. 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.

Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and Headwriters, Street, Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter.

Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. And nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. And every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in

sports and giving you the real story behind the headline. And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear.
