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.
Your 20s can be.
so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science
behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks,
and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk
of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin,
and I just, like, really regret not living in the present more.
You don't need to have everything figured out right now.
You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.
Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is Saigon, the story of my family and of the country that shaped us.
From IHeart Podcast, Saigon.
You don't think I'm serious about a free Vietnam?
One city, a divided country, and the war that tore America apart.
It's for Vietnam.
They're pouring patrol all over here.
freedom for Vietnam.
There's a fire coming to this country
and it's going to burn out everything.
Listen to Saigon on the I Heart Radio
app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts.
What's up, boys and girls? This episode
of Bustin with the Boys is presented by
Barstall Sports. A lot
to unfold in today's intro.
Number one, we had Brett Kern on. It's a phenomenal
episode. It's awesome. We're back to the regular
viewership and listening to where we have a guest
on every week. We're out of the
spooktober face and the spooktober face was phenomenal i will also get to that in a second but we'll be
having our you know our regular guest dropping again that we've had in the library we're also going
to be doing fresh and up-to-date episodes with taylor and i since he is going through his ACL journey
uh the boy is on practice squad now so you know we both got a little extra time on our hands so we're
going to be you know giving more to you guys so that is going to be a lot of fun uh but yeah
Spooktober's over and it sucks when Spooktober's over, dude, because it's like, I don't, you just get used to having so much fun with the Michael Meyer stuff, the Jason, the slashes, the scary movies, the fun, the fun, the new scary stuff, spooky stuff on Netflix.
You guys are tagging us, you're adding us, you're having a great time with us.
And it was just cool to see.
This was the most fun month, most fun year I've had with Spooktober.
Now, we've only had two on the podcast, so it's not that hard to beat.
I've been in the Spooktober game for three years now.
introduced me to Spooktober in 2018, and I've been in love with it ever since.
But this was the most fun year because of how much you guys immersed yourself into the
spook and embrace it with us.
Our merch sold out, so shout out to you guys for that.
But yeah, it's just, man, it sucks that we're in November, but also a lot to look forward
to because holiday season is coming with Thanksgiving, with Christmas, with New Year's.
That is a very fun time as well.
And you already know we're going to sell up for that too.
Another reason we're sad is because obviously the boys lost yesterday and we are now five and two.
It sucks.
I'm not going to talk about it too much.
But, you know, you want to grow on the good stuff that you're putting out there because there's a lot of good stuff that the boys are doing.
There really is.
You know, we got some stuff we obviously have to fix.
We got to get rid of the bad shit that gets us beat.
But yeah.
But I have the utmost confidence that the boy.
are going to bounce back. There's no doubt in my mind. The boys are going to be I. If there's
anything I've ever learned about being with the boys, it's that the boys are going to be all right.
The boys are gritty. The boys are determined. The boys are strong-willed similar to our partner
Chevy Silverado. No free shout-outs to Chevy Silverado, the world's strongest, most advanced
Silverado ever. The Silverado is dependable like the people who drive them. The boys and you guys,
when you're a gritty, when you're a gritty son of a bitch, dude, and you are determined,
you want to park your ass in a nice, comfy Chevy Silverado seat.
When you're driving on the road and you look at other pickups and you're like,
oh, yeah, that's cool too.
But when you're in a Chevy, a Chevy Silverado, you know you got the biggest swing and
piece on the road, dude.
When it comes to tailgating, hauling, toeing, off-roading, moving day, we hate moving day.
Like helping out your friend or a family member, we hate moving.
moving day, but I will be more than happy to lend them my Chevy, my fresh Chevy Silverado to stunt,
to flex, to let them know, yeah, I got the nicest thing on the road. Road trips, all of it.
Chevy Silverado has your back. You need to go to the closest dealership in the near future,
and you need to let them know that the boys sent you. You need to test drive a few. You need to find
the best one that fits you. And get that gritty, get that gritty lunch pail mentality in your life,
dude that BDE that big dick energy because that's what you're going to have when you're parked
in a Chevy Silverado driving down the road going a smooth 65 and a 60 looking out both sides you got
the music going you're looking at the river mirror like you're in a music video and you're just having
the time of your life dude but go say what's up to Chevy again tell them the boys sent you
and and yeah just just join the movement with the boys um next speaking of tailgating
the boys are home again this week so we're going to be tailgating and doing a watch party
to Acme Feed and Seed.
You can follow us at Buston WTB for the updates there.

So we need the support and we need the energy in full effect this weekend.
So follow us at Bustin WTV.
Stay up to date with us and get your ass to that watch party and tailgate.
Now to the Brett Kern episode.
Super bum that the boy got injured yesterday.
I hit him up and I was like,
Brett, is it still cool if we run this episode?
He's like, yeah, absolutely, man.
You can't let a little pissing and moaning stop the bus from moving forward.
It was a great episode.
We had him on in the summertime.
His number one request was that, hey, my kids love watching what I do.
So if we can keep the cursing to a zero tolerance policy, that would be great.
So we did what anybody else would do in that situation.
We brought in a swear jar.
So you get to listen to the boys try and, you know, not swear.
We struggled at it.
I owe Brett some money.
I'm in debt to him.
Shout out the little Kearns, though.
We keep it pretty clean.
And I think you're going to enjoy watching your dad on the bus.
But Brett, he's a pro bowler.
He's an all pro punter.
Dude has a pissed missile of a leg.
There's a swear jar right there's another $100.
But he drops bombs over Baghdad on the football field.
We have an absolutely great time.

This episode of Bustle with the Boys.
The Boys is presented by Barstool Sports.
Brett Kern.
Brett Kurt's on the pod.
Let's go, dude.
Let's go, dude.
I love the enthusiasm back there, Alex.
I feel like you pick it up every time we start clapping now.
No off switch.
Welcome, dude.
I had a hard time sleeping last night.
I was so excited.
I bet you were.
Could you probably tell that I was tipsy myself when I was texting you the other night?
No, you told me you were drunk.
Oh, I did?
Yeah.
Well, there we go.
There you go.
Full disclaimer that you were there.
Yeah, I just started texting on like, I would tell them these times I'll be at, confirm, Brett, confirm.
I confirmed multiple times that I was in.
You sent me the address multiple times.
Yo, are you psyched to be on the bus finally, though?
I am.
I've told you.
I was excited.
Is there, do you feel like there's a part of guys that haven't been on yet that probably sit back and think, like, why haven't I been on that bus yet?
Yeah, I was one of them.
Okay, okay.
We'll start there.
So you do think there are guys that are like that.
For sure, yeah.
Why is that?
I don't know.
Because here's my stance.
So here's my stance.
It's like, you know, you got something going on and you don't want to like, it's, it sucks like having the expectation that you should want to come on the bus.
So you don't want to feel like, you know what I mean?
Hey, can I get some, an hour out of your day or a couple hours out of your day if you want to come on the bus?
She's kind of helping us out.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So you just feel weird.
like asking your own boys because it's like.
But it's for the boys.
I know.
See,
once I said that,
I knew I was going to get corrected pretty quickly.
But I was able to keep in perspective because I look at myself,
I'm a punter.
Yep.
Like,
I got a dad bod.
I don't really look like an NFL player.
Okay.
And so I knew that I was probably really low on the totem pole, which is fine.
I've gotten used to that over my career.
We have two of those things in common.
The dad bodd,
where were the three things you said?
Well, my position.
Punter.
That's the only difference is linebacker punter.
Dad, Bod.
What was the third thing?
Well, I just knew I was low on the total pole.
Low on the total pole.
Like, we're not the, our caliber of guy is not the guy you go after.
For sure.
But fortunately, it's the pod.
Yeah.
And we can get the boy on.
I mean, you know, I don't live far away from where this thing is located.
Where do you live?
Not exactly.
What area?
I'm down Franklin.
Oh.
Oh, hey.
He's living high.
If I do it's a nice area
It's very nice
I'm just saying if you got some coin
You go and live down in the south
You live down in Franklin or Brentwood
Yeah but if you got coin
You can also live in Green Hills and Bellevue
Don't live in either
Do you guys live in those spots?
Gara probably lives somewhere
Garer probably lives somewhere
His stepdad's butch
So you know
He's a dude who runs Nashville
So
Hey do we have the list
Do we put the list up?
I made a list for you
I sent you the list
and all this stuff was off the top.
You did this yourself?
You guys had other notes.
I did that one myself, but.
Will's note.
Okay, there it is.
Yeah, yeah.
Those are Will's notes.
What'd you have ahead of that?
Very simple.
Oh, go to your NFL.
Sign with the Broncos,
claimed off waivers by the Titans,
three-time pro bowler,
first team all-pro in 2019,
second team all-pro in 2017.
You have quite the resume.
Or what are you more proud of being an all-pro or a pro-bowler?
It's kind of like a general question we ask.
guys who have been to the Pro Bowl.
What have I told you none of those?
Yeah, you don't have CTE.
So you know you're going to have to re-explain stuff to me.
And I've created a lot of CTEs for you being on your punt team.
You know what I'm saying?
So there's a little responsibility you have for my own brain.
I mean, like, it's no coincidence that you go to the Pro Bowl three times and those were your
best three punt teams.
Like guys that would go out, it takes a special breeded guy to go out and play special
teams. I appreciate that. I was, I got Brett to the Pro Bowl. There we go. There we go. Shout
out that squad, dude. Yeah. And see, Taylor's not here because, you know, he's on field goal block and we
haven't had a field goal kick or go to the Pro Bowl. So, but you have been on punt team. Yeah,
Taylor. You got, you got the Pro Bowl bonus that I gave to all the boys. I know. Hey, yeah.
We can't, we can't clock too much, fellas. He did. Brett, the
one thing I commend bread on is he gets gifts for his like punt team.
That's right.
He hooked the boys up.
I know my year.
I don't know if it got better or worse at the year after I left.
But he hooked the boys up with $500 gift cards to Amazon.
It was $750 this year.
So you boosted it up.
I boosted it up.
Yeah.
Inflation.
Yeah.
I might need that to add $250.
I mean, you know, three in a row, I was like, you know, I just bowl the turkey.
Let's do it.
Because, so here's why I think I should deserve an extra $250.
Here's why.
I'm just going to,
I'm just going to say why.
You guys,
the punt team of 2019,
to be the punt team they were,
they needed a standard.
The standard was on film in 2018.
So you guys are low-key watching clips.
A lot of similar faces in that room,
but also you got to see 5-1,
you got to see the boy out there.
That's right.
Putting on some clinic tape.
That's what I like to think.
You were an example multiple times.
Look how Compton does.
Look how he sets.
That's what I'm saying.
Man.
Are we going to clap again?
Got me excited.
That's what I'm saying.
So I feel there's a little bit of ownership and responsibility in the year that you had in 2019.
So that's why I think that you should, when you drive home, maybe I should get Will a $250
Amazon car to go with the squad this past year.
You're going to label it is that or are you going to say, hey, you got to pay to be on the bus with the boy?
That was going to be my next.
That was going to be my second plan, plan B.
I'll split it.
All right.
I'm down for that.
I'm down for that.
Let's start.
Let's start with growing up in Grand Island, New York.
Oh, Alex has connected to you.
Yeah, we chatted about it before we went live.
Well, let's talk about it.
Alex, explain how you guys are connected.
Yeah, so Brett's family owned a summer collegiate baseball team out in Niagara Falls, New York,
or technically Grand Island, but it's called Niagara Power.
And I played out there for two summers in 2012 and 2013.
So your parents have a baseball team?
They did, yeah.
they did it for nine years
it was a collegiate like you know
when guys are done
you know collegially they can go and still play over the summer
I mean there's like there's tons of leagues all over the place
did you play ball growing up I guess then not baseball
so your parents on a baseball team
and you're around ball your whole
probably you're around baseball yeah I mean my dad
my dad played pro soccer so he was a soccer player
but he loved baseball the most
but had a bad experience in high school
so he went and tried soccer did really well at it
and so I grew up playing soccer
that was like that was my sport wow
I guess it makes sense you're a punter.
Baseball is kind of frowned up the soccer kids growing up.
I need a little more action.
No disrespect to the soccer kids.
You guys seem like soccer kids.
Not you, Josh.
Jack, you seem like a soccer kid.
I'm sorry.
Really?
Yes, you seem like a soccer kid.
Where'd you grow up?
Here, Nashville.
Where in Nashville?
In Brumwood.
So you seem like a soccer kid.
We got some pretty good teams, though.
Football, basketball.
Yeah, I know you do.
Again, no disrespect.
Did you have lacrosse?
Did you play lacrosse?
I actually did.
Yeah, see.
That's big up in New York.
He seems like a lacrosse guy.
I'll take that.
All right.
So Grand Island, New York, your parents had a baseball team that Alex,
that's crazy.
Our guy played for it.
So you played for that team, right?
Yeah.
Were they good?
Were you guys good?
We're okay.
Did the owners ever come and talk and address the team?
All the time.
Yeah, they're so.
My dad was a good owner.
Yeah.
Okay.
My mom was his psychic.
They did a great job.
What do you mean?
Your mom's a psychic.
She did like all the administrative sidekick.
Oh, oh, sorry.
You guys know I can get it.
I almost went like, okay, hey, I'm ready to get my palms and shit red, like be the
whole psychic thing.
Where's Toledo at?
You went to college at Toledo.
Yeah, in Ohio.
Toledo's in Ohio.
Yeah.
Did you have fun there?
I did.
Yeah, I met my wife there.
So, I mean, you know.
When did you meet your wife for first year there?
No, no, no.
We met end of my sophomore year at the, uh, intramural softball game, co-ed.
Is she a Ohioan?
Yes.
There you go.
Appreciate that.
Yeah.
She's Ohioan?
Yeah.
I mean, she was in one of my classes.
I stalked her, Facebook stalker, did everything, but I just didn't have the guts to, like, go talk to her.
And so.
So how'd you get it together?
How'd you?
Well, the team I was on.
You just keep poking her on Facebook?
Oh, the team.
I forgot about it.
He could poke back in the day.
He's probably poking.
Yeah.
I don't know.
So the team that I was on.
was on it was just a bunch of couples and so one of the girls couldn't come and here comes the boy
here he comes Taylor's here thank you thank you for having me welcome what's up what's up
what's up dude sorry for being late sanders it's okay I thought you were getting lattes that's not
lottees I know that's what we were saying and then Alex is like but if it goes three times in
row then it becomes a streak so he's like he's like he
thought you didn't want to create a streak.
Of what?
Being here like early.
Well, no, I don't understand.
I don't want to be here early.
I feel like.
Is this on?
Are we rolling?
Yeah.
For the,
for the boys' advertisement,
every time you sit down and they look at the camera,
they're seeing.
Yeah, dude.
I'm a walking billboard at this point, dude.
I feel like I'm becoming that guy
with way too many tattoos.
No.
I don't know if you heard.
Did you see him back done?
I saw that, yeah.
How do you feel about it?
Do I feel like a cooler teammate to you now?
I mean, you're already a cooler teammate,
but I like it.
You have any tattoos?
Just my ring finger that's already faded.
That's true, dude.
What's your only tat?
What's your only tat?
Wasn't there like a deal?
Look at Innocent Taylor.
Look at that picture of you all-American.
I'll tell you what, that's honestly, that version of Taylor's way more of a scumbag than this version of Taylor.
Really?
That guy's hiding.
That's like Adam Humphreys.
Like, looks like very unsuspecting, but I bet there's some dark, dark demons in those eyes.
There's probably no soul there.
Adam Humphrey.
Where was that game at?
That was in Orlando.
That's at the citrus bowl.
It was at the citrus bowl.
But it was the Underarmor All-American game.
So it's like your second home, Orlando, Pro Bowl's All-American.
Well, I would say the same for you, my friend.
Did Michigan play there probably?
We never played there.
We went to Outback game.
Genevian Clowny.
Shout out of Genevian Clowny for making me famous and hitting the running back so hard that.
Shout out Vincent Smith, dude.
The running back for Michigan.
That was actually like the smallest dude ever, but took a hit like that and got up, no problem.
Have you seen that video?
I've seen it multiple times.
Sure.
Hey, we got a kid.
That was you to let Clowny go through?
Well, it was.
Okay, so there's actually, let us talk a lot on the podcast.
Should have been Trey.
It was a deuce.
So they do a lot of movements.
South Carolina did a lot of movements.
The coaches were like, hey, if he's on the guard at all, what we're going to do is we're going to call a deuce through the linebacker.
So if they move, you can hit him.
So I called Deuce and our tight end was like, Trey, like a question with a question mark at the end of
Oh, no.
And I was like, no, dude, it's a deuce.
That much time was able to go through before the play started because we had like a fourth down or like it was like fourth and one and we did not get it.
But the refs looked at it and they gave it to us.
But we were off by no joke, probably two feet, close to a yard.
And the reps were like, no, first down.
They called it.
And like Spurrier and all those boys were losing their mind.
And I really didn't pay enough attention to it.
But Jadavion cut himself a little bit of breath.
right and jadavian just won the hendricks award in that piece so jadavian was smoking here it is
bap vincent smith i'm so sorry dude you did a great job going to the second level yeah i got to
i hit you did a great job going to the second level hey honestly the linebar kind of buts me up a
little bit watch this no no no not really he kind of did it wasn't like a buddy from the patriots
you're winning there for sure you i feel like that's pretty reminiscent to see the tight end
to the time that's in my derrier on my backside being Big Spoon, that's the guy that
probably should have blocked down on today.
People who watch our podcasts are going to be so familiar with this play.
We've talked about it. We've talked about it.
In depth, talked about it.
This is a power play.
It's your basic power, dude.
Turn your eyes, go to one o'clock and just close your eyes, turn to one o'clock and just
go that way.
That is how you block power.
And this was back when the sports center, they had the top ten still, right?
Oh, dude, this is the longest running, longest running sports center top 10.
And literally I remember in my head like, man, because like,
Jadavian was like the stud.
He was the dude.
He was like the second coming of Jesus.
Right.
And they're like, hey, before the game, be like, hey, you know what?
Because I think they were worried about me leaving.
I could have left my junior.
And they're like, hey, we're not going to give you any help at the start of the game with
Judevian.
We're going to see how it goes.
And it was going good for the boy.
I can't wait to have Jadavian on the podcast to talk about this because it was going
real good for the boy.
And then that play happened.
And I was like, I actually didn't even notice because I hit the line.
And I listened to the linebacker was like, that can't be good for us, right?
Yeah.
I turned, I turned back and look and I, Jedavian was doing his arms cross thing.
Who would have a know?
Look at how many.
He and I would have such a history, dude.
We're on our.
How many angles?
Camera angle.
This is unbelievable.
How many angles can they have?
That's what it felt like when you're watching the top play.
Earlier, Will was trying to get an extra $250 to Amazon.
All right.
Pro Bowl gift.
You know, is this like shifting on me right now?
No, I'm saying.
It sounds like it's kind of sure.
Yeah, I feel like you're upset now after that conversation.
I know, I'm not at all.
I mean, I'll just send me your address and I'll get you one.
Okay.
What's you need?
What's he want?
I'm saying how much money did you make Clowny on that right there?
I mean, he was the first overall pick in 2014.
Maybe that was the play.
But I will say there was conversation after this game.
Like, this is before like players sat out.
Like Nick Bosa sat out.
I think a couple other guys like Christian McCaffrey didn't play his bowl game or something like that.
They were talking about him sitting out too.
This was before that was even a thing.
People were like, Jadavian Clowney shouldn't even play this year.
He shouldn't play his junior.
That's right.
He's still going to be a first overall thing.
That's right.
That's how much, like, hype this dude had.
And honestly, like, it's, defense is weird, right?
Because, like, Deidian, his stats, if you looked at his stats, you're like, oh, well, he's, like, you would literally say, well, that's not great.
But if you watch any game, that dude disrupt out of everything.
Every game.
Out of every single game.
He's a dude.
He doesn't, like, play, like, your, like, standard.
I have the C gap.
I have the B gap.
Like, he kind of just, he is willing to do anything and everything because he's that athletic
enough to do it. He'll go from the C gap to the B gap, kind of like JJ Watwell.
Yeah. And it's like, it's a nightmare for offensive linemen to play against. Because you,
if you're like, okay, I'm going to block this guy. Like, I'm going to go as hard as they can
of this guy. Well, all Javian has to do is swim inside you and then go to the running back.
Yeah. And other guys will just butt you up. You're like, okay, at least I'm getting a little
CTE during this, but I'm doing my job. You know what I'm saying? And I'd rather get a little
of that. If you spelt it out, CTE. Yep. I'd rather we get a little bit of that,
then just absolutely whiff and fall in my face and still get CTE.
because the ground's heavy.
The ground hurts.
I'm with you.
You know what I'm saying?
Why'd my name have to come up in that story?
It was just an example.
Dude, I'm actually...
I was trying to parlay the examples, that's all.
What's the stats?
I mean...
172 tackles.
71 tackles for loss?
Yeah, like, no, he's killer on the tackles for loss, for sure.
And that was kind of like,
people were saying this about JJ Watt.
People, not me.
I'm just saying what I've heard.
Okay, so if you're a Houston Texans fan,
K. But that's the thing. Like I heard that like a linebackers would would hate playing with JJ Watt because he was not gap sound. So really it'd be like, hey, Brian Cushing. Whatever gap J.J. goes into, you have to get the other gap. Make sure. So J.J. would have some massive TFLs. Like his numbers are through the roof. But also that's why he's in Texas would get broke on for like 60 yards for a touchdown a lot. It's hard to, it's hard to correct your guy in front of you. Can't correct the guy in front of you. So especially was in that talented. This is all.
foreign language to me.
I'm just told to punt right,
punt left.
You are,
we'll get in.
One of my buddies from high school
literally texting me is like so happy you're having Brett Kerr on the podcast.
I watched him warm up the entire game during the Baltimore game.
Like he just,
you,
like you,
not so much,
suck up was way worse than you.
As far as like,
I guess worse is the wrong word.
But suck up is way,
he was way more like stretch all the time guy,
like always doing something guy.
And you're like a,
you're like a,
got more of a pat.
Macafee feel to you got to grip it and rip it. I'm just going to punt out of this ball and move on.
Pretty much. But without the theatrics, which I think we could work on this year. I don't feel
comfortable doing that. Okay. What the adjacks? What's 2020 all about? Getting
getting on getting comfortable with the uncomfortable. Let's just let's dive into this.
My rookie year. What the atrics? Hang on. What the actions are we talking about? I was about
I was about to explain. Okay. And by the way, two for two for two looking firm. By I appreciate you.
You wearing the right shirts. I know. It's a GoPro shirt. Yeah.
shout out GoPro, but not shout out GoPro because they don't sponsor us.
So don't, so no, no shout out GoPro.
When, like, my rookie year, it was like the first quarter, or maybe this is a start of the second half.
There's a start of the second half.
You were there, dude.
And they opened up, they opened up the second half with a onside kick.
And they got it.
And McAfee, I looked over and McAfee was doing like the chip, like he just chipped it in there.
Yeah.
And I was like, he's got some swigoo to him, dude.
Yeah, he does.
He really does.
So you're talking theatrics.
I have that swag.
I kind of like,
but you know me.
I'm a big theatrics guy.
Yeah.
I'm a big over the top cat.
Are you?
For sure.
Yes.
Okay.
Okay.
They're like explaining.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What?
You don't understand?
He's like, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How about that?
Can we get a little more theatrics?
Can we get a little bit more swag on there?
I'm just saying you, like, you take the ball, right?
You grab the thing.
Bow Brinkley, snaps that perfectly.
Laces up and everything.
Right.
You grab that.
You drop that.
You drop that missile onto the,
onto that blasting foot of yours
and send that thing's 55 yards deep corner
inside the 10 yard line
you can't like
you can't do a little something
well probably like can't dance
well you can do something
you don't need that to do that to go like
DGeneration X like at WWE back in the day
I got an idea
catch a line you just start you
we can do that would be great
we can do that he has risen
like the whole we'll have nine guys
kind of make a cave
but I don't I don't and then I'll come up like a ball
listen I'll come up like a ball
like this and then you're going to knock it out of balance like it's already going to be done it's
all right it's celebration the play's over you've hit it inside the 10 it's celebration time you lay
down right you're laying down eight guys kind of funnel you like you're uh like you're in a cave right
because it's getting a little familiar all right he has risen keep that in your mind okay i go up and i'm
between the eight guys so four and four with a small gap and i put myself in a ball all right let's say
will well was on the team so let's see we let's say you guys are playing me and i join in
okay okay all right so will so will joins in so will in the old so we'll in the
other team is like, this is too great of a
sally to not do anything about it.
I'm in a ball and Will rolls me out of the way.
Then you magically get up and just walk out.
And then we all just start chanting, he has risen.
Like, because you're the second coming of Jesus.
It's very sacrilegious.
As a punter.
Is it sacrilegious?
Ah.
He goes, ah.
All right.
This is the thing.
After I hit a ball, like, I hit that.
I just sit there and kind of admire it.
Right.
So it's 50, 50.
if I even make it 20 yards down the field
because I have trust in my boys
when they go cover.
Right.
Right?
So a lot of times I'm just there.
I think you'd be really good if like
the NFL comes up with the thing
where there could be like a mic on you
and there's a camera closer to you like after this
and you just kind of whisper something to the camera.
I think that's where your swag would probably come in.
Yeah, that'd be solid.
I wanted like his style.
You should be miced up for every single game is what we'll try to say.
And then know where the camera's at all time
and be like just like hit it like 65 yards.
Look back.
Oops.
Exactly.
Yes, exactly.
It's like right there, like the camera's right there.
Would you hammer that thing?
Yeah, probably.
I think so.
And that'd be it.
You guys were talking while I was doing it.
Well, I heard the first time and it fired me up.
But I was trying to do with the camera.
So you're talking like,
FedEx for Twitter.
Like Britney Spears.
Thank you, Alex.
Oops.
Oops, I did it again.
Something like that, Britney Spears.
No, just saw them.
Just, oops.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, no, 100%.
It's a working time.
It's a working progress.
It's a working progress.
I really.
The one I wanted.
Or just go big hugs, tiny kisses.
The one I wanted to do was the mile high salute because that's where I started my career.
I got, you know, I got ax pretty quick when I was there.
So why would you want to salute them?
Because that's like what you do up there, but you're a visiting team.
So it'd be like, it'd be like condescending.
Oh, got you, got you, got you.
It'd be disrespectful.
It'd be disrespectful.
Hey, Monday night football, we're doing it.
What is you, what would you do if you saw when you see Drell Casey if he's lined up on the punt return team?
He's going to be punt safe.
Punts safe.
Yeah, well, it's punch safe.
And you know he's coming for blood.
I know.
Oh, yeah.
he's coming hard.
Bo will get him.
Bo won't get Jarell.
Hey, Bo ain't getting Jarrell.
I'm telling you right now.
Bo get in the way.
Bo is probably the most solid long snapper in the league, right?
Is he?
Yeah, I think so.
No, I don't know.
disrespect, Bo.
No disrespect.
I don't know anything about long snapping.
That's what I'm saying,
and the only person we've seen is Bo.
He's extremely accurate.
He's big so he can block about anybody.
And he's strong, too.
He's strong.
Country strong.
Like, he's no slouch in the longsnapping game.
I've been around some Los Ramping.
I don't want to disrespect to the longsnappers.
I've played with.
Yeah.
But Bo is definitely the most, like, put together.
Like, he looks more like a football player than any long snapper out there.
Yeah, he's got that.
Him and that dude from the Giants that used to play.
So he retired now?
Longsneper from Giants.
Is he about Diasi?
Yeah, Diasi.
Yeah.
But, yeah, Bo's got him.
Now, the other one is Luke Rhodes in indie.
Luke Rhodes looked like he could be a, you know, Greek goddess type.
Oh, he's a stud like that.
Yeah.
See, I said that comment, just knowing who I've played with.
I don't really know what else is out there.
Yeah.
I think of all the football.
players, long snapper's probably the least known player.
That's good though.
Yeah, 100%.
Right.
Because if you are known, it's probably because you do the really good job.
Most, but I know that.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
I like at Toledo.
Did you have any botched snaps?
I dropped one.
No.
I roboed one.
Really?
Yeah.
What, so talk about that.
Yeah.
What's the terrifying feeling that goes through, like, your tiny heart when you drop a snap?
You feel helpless.
I would imagine like a newborn deer
And then there's a predator coming in hot at you
Yeah
It's yeah it's
I mean you don't feel like you should screw up really at all
Right
And then when you drop one
It was a little rainy, it was a little missed
Bruce Grikowski was a quarterback
He liked
Like a little sheen to the ball
And we did it
I always asked our guys as like
Please when we go out for a field goal
Or punt can switch the ball out
Because those balls are slick
Yeah
No we're not going to do it
We're not going to do it
And then you watch Ohio State, and it's like, their kickers and punters are kicking, like, jugs balls, right?
Yeah.
Things are so broken in.
I just remember getting in, that thing went right through my hands.
You just feel helpless.
So in that story where you're trying to blame somebody right there?
You a little bit.
Sounds like, well, first it started out, insurance policy started out with a little misty.
It's a little rainy.
That's the insurance.
Well, I'm trying to take another policy.
I always ask the coaches or the, can we just switch the balls out?
I'm not going.
And they always said, no.
Right.
Right.
Right. I'm just spark note in this thing, right.
But I'm just trying to figure out where the blame's going.
I'm not.
I'm not palms up, but I'm just saying like, I'm not palms up.
I mean, you know, I'm just trying to set the, you know, the picture for the audience.
They can't see it on TV.
Right.
So I'm just trying to set, you know, like a light mist.
Give some context.
You know, it was about 48 degrees, 49 degrees, just to kind of set the tone of what it was like.
Yeah, no question.
You still.
You painted a picture for sure.
I wasn't wearing gloves like I do now.
Do you own?
That's my insurance policy.
I wear a glove on this hand.
Really?
Yeah.
And you go some dimes too.
I try.
Not like Hecler, right?
Heckler's the punter.
He was a guy.
Hecker, yes.
He was a guy.
He was like a high school quarterback, wasn't he?
He went to Oregon State to be a quarterback.
Really?
He had a scholarship.
I think so, yeah.
Get on him.
And it was like Daniel Supova.
He went to Baylor as a linebacker.
And then the punter got hurt in spring balls.
They were like, hey, let's just have punter tryouts.
And he went to out there drops bombs.
He wins the Ray Guy award like three years in a row.
But he's built.
I mean, he's jacked out of his mind.
Like he'd be the guy that would hit a punt and he would beat the long snap or down to go try to make a tackle.
Really?
Yes.
That's awesome.
A little over the top.
A little over the top.
You get fired up watching that play.
I like my punter to sit back like kind of like Brett does.
That's not me.
With a little more swag.
That's not my MO.
No question.
I don't need you.
Do you see my body?
You saw when I got hit against Tampa Bay.
No, I heard it.
I was going to say, I swear to God you were dead.
Speaking of predators attacking helpless little animals.
Wow, you pulled that up real quick.
Alex is a stud.

He's got way too many tabs open at all times, but he's an absolute stunt.
I would have put a hundred.
Predator is Devin White in this in this and Brett Kern is the helpless little animal.
What is going through your mind at this moment right here?
Oh, he's got it.
Were you thinking I'm about to shake him up or do something?
You probably don't see him yet.
He was the last guy I was expecting.
Because if you look, the coaches were saying, well, he's supposed to cover Prue.
Michael Pruitt, right?
Right.
And he just made a football play because when he looked, he takes two steps to follow Prue.
And then he sees that I have the ball.
That is a very sensitive play.
And when he came around Roger right there, or is that Jack?
That's like I think
That might be Jack
That's your hair
That's Jamel
I was gonna say it looks like Jamil
That's Jamil
Because um
I think Jamil went in for that play
Oh let's go
Run it run it run it
Terrible ball leverage
Oh my God dude
I let it walked over
I was like is he dead
I said I swear to God
Go back
Hey look he's doing the same thing
Should I go back
Pause it when I get to the sideline
Right there
Hey
Is he dead
That's what I said dude
I swear I'm not even joking
I thought I heard it.
I thought the same thing.
I was like he is and the thing is
can you really get to hit that heart?
It just sounded bad.
Look at Ock, man.
Look at Ock just throw his hands up.
Look at him outside.
Oh.
You know how many times we practiced that?
So many times.
And I would have put,
what do you think Braves saying?
Ock.
3.41 left.
We're up by four and it was like fourth and three.
What's the last thing that we're probably going to do?
Run a fake.
What's the,
I would put a hundred grand on it?
What's the thing you probably should do?
probably been a walk-in touchdown.
You would have a Bradwick from LSU.
The open arms as you're running.
The last thing you think...
Can you get a penalty on that?
I don't think he did.
I thought he did.
That was a great play, though.
I'll tell you know what you want to do something?
So slow.
Hey, that's the last thing you're expecting,
but also the number one thing you might look at not doing is going...
That's a 34-year-old dad bod.
Oh, you're seeing his back call.
At that moment, I was like,
why are they going for it?
They're up for.
You know, if Ray didn't call that play,
you know, he's looking at Ock, like, yeah,
great job.
Yes.
That one day.
Hey, that one really worked out, didn't it?
That's like 39s are running the end zone.
You can see him being condescending.
Oh.
Call off.
Wow.
What's going on here?
Are you milking this at this point?
No, I mean, I just.
I feel like there's a party that feels so kind of demoralized about it that you kind of have to play into it.
The other part, the other part, too, is I knew that I fumbled.
And they didn't over turn it.
They didn't overturn it.
No.
That's what I was thinking that that should have been a fumble recovered touchdown.
Do you think so?
Yes, yes, yes.
I do.
I signed up.
Go back and show it.
I fumbled.
And they would have potentially won the game.
And the other angle shows it, but it comes out before any part of my body hits the ground.
Do you want to know something?
It's about taking accountability for one's actions.
If I would have got the outside of this guy, you would have got the first down at least.
Wait, where are you at?
What do you mean?
I'm right there, dude.
Oh, because I'm going, I'm going off your inside.
You're doing a great.
And you did a good job setting up the ball too.
You're thinking if you got him to go to go.
Look at the outside.
Bo's out in front.
If he's not there,
Bo is my lead blocker,
and it is...
Yeah, that balls out.
Then it'll be how bad
is Brett's touchdown celebration?
What are you going to do?
I had no idea.
You know,
we haven't learned to play since camp.
There's no way you didn't have an idea
of what you're going to do.
I honestly didn't.
Somebody wanted him to own up to him fumbling too, right?
Alex.
I think I saw somebody saying,
will you actually fumble on the fake pot versus Canada?
I just answered your question.
How relieved you were at the refs blew the play?
Blade dead.
Yeah.
Bet you this guy's not a Tampa fan.
Hey, that's Stephen Chee.
Who's that?
He's with Barcelona.
He gives us our ads every week.
Oh.
Stefan Chi.
Probably Tisem,
Stefan?
Or is it Steven?
I think it's Steven.
There's an F.
Look at his user, though.
Steven.
Dude, my eyes are so bad.
Do you see that squint?
I'll tell you what, dude.
Yeah, see, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Hey, he's a, he's a Bucks fan for sure.
That's fine.
You know what?
This is just, you know what this goes to
us if we're just throwing blame at people the mist so all those flags from last year maybe not all my
fault right yeah maybe i mean maybe not all my fall right no i'm kidding i think the team a little bit
i didn't i stop cursing because i want bryce to hear this podcast and we got to let's edit this podcast
let me tell you something you know having the first it was probably the second week of virtual meetings
right Bryce comes down he says hey dad can i be in it on your special team oh no i said you know what
Ox's been pretty clean the first week.
I think we're good.
Opens it up.
Ox starts the meeting.
All of a sudden, Braves chimes in,
drops like four F-bombs in the first minute.
And my son looks at me and I look at him.
He goes, all right, I'm going to go, Dad.
He said that.
He's such a good boy.
He walked out the room.
He's like, well,
will he want to listen to this episode?
Probably.
Make sure all of our F-BOMs are bleeped.
We're going to bleep them.
This is the first ever, like, parental advisory
with the edited edition.
I appreciate this.
I got three kids,
10, 8, 4.
And they love you.
And they love me to death.
Yeah.
And yeah,
I'm sure anytime daddy goes on the radio
or whatever on TV,
they,
you know,
they want to see it.
Yeah,
we're going to edit everything.
And,
and hard note cursing.
We're going to have a swear jarer now
for this pod.
Okay.
So if you curse,
it's $100.
Okay.
We've only got to make it like 30 more minutes,
right?
Did you see like his aha moment?
Like when he's like,
Hey, $100.
$100.
Just like I've disinvented something new.
Right.
Like I've done, I finally did it.
What are the, what are the, uh, the fines going to, the proceeds?
I will probably just put it back on our pockets.
Yeah.
Actually, I've always wondered that about NFL fines.
Uh, oh, dude, they definitely.
Like if you get, like if you get fined by the club.
Mm-hmm.
I mean.
By the club.
It goes through charity.
Yeah.
Mm, I don't know.
If the NFL.
Fine.
So if you pay a fine.
So when I miss veteran minicamp.
Right.
For when I was holding out.
Right.
I got fine like an absurd amount of money.
But I got a lot of money, which I really thought John was going to be a boy and hook it up.
And then he told me it would be a bad once I went into his office after the season.
I was like, hey, listen, like let, can we just work something out here?
Can I get that money?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a by guys.
It's a good year.
Boy made the pro ball.
Let me just.
Can I get some of that coin back?
And he literally looked me in the eyes and he goes.
I'll think about it.
Didn't call me back for three weeks, dude.
Call it back.
He took it like,
he took an insulting $5,000 off.
Oh, that is so funny.
Dude,
it was like $76,000.
It was a,
it was a college fund.
We won the Pro Bowl that year, right?
Yeah.
So you're saying you met a bag,
but it's still lost money is what you're saying.
Yeah.
Every year we were in the Proble deal,
even last year when you went without me,
you guys have won the Pro Bowl.
Three for three.
It's been night.
I mean,
I've been able to get a Jeep for the family.
Really?
put a golf simulator in the basement.
Oh my God.
And then Pro Bowl hooks it up.
It's, how much fun is the week, though?
I mean, look, my kids absolutely love it.
Yeah, play this.
Your son, he gets to be a reporter.
I actually want to hear this because I don't remember what I said.
Did I curse?
I hope not.
I'm just kidding.
I think I'm going to go around and ask.
How terrible is this music, by the way?
Some awkward questions.
Let me go.
My favorite Disney movie?
probably Hercules
It's not my favorite
Is that the first thing?
You were trying to take it back
He's like I feel like I got to think about that more
I've seen about three-fourths of Hercules
I haven't finished
I love how Bryce asked the question
And then he gives his an explanation
On what my answer was
This is when he was seven
My favorite ride at Disney
It would have to be Space Mountain
Space Mountain is an absolute death trap
It's brutal on the neck
It's terrifying
What's your favorite player here at the Pro Bowl?
Besides me
Say it
Is this going to go on the Titans Twitter?
Taylor Luarn
Oh damn
Hey there's a shout out Jalen Ramsey
My boy dude
Dude that's epic
Dude I love Jalen Ramsey
I love him
That guy's a beauty
I love how he asks
Like kind of
What is this going to be on?
Because he's like
Remember when he shouted out of us
With the boys?
He's like when you say their name
He kind of like
Hey is this going to be on Titans
Taylor Luan
Yeah just like
How disrespectful could I be to the Jaguar fans?
Dude, that is a wild.
Yeah, does Bryce want to be a reporter or he just wanted to have for fun?
I think he wants to.
Does he want to be a punter like his dad?
Yeah, he wants to.
But, I mean, he's young enough now where they don't punt.
So I told him, just wait.
Do you give him pointers in the back?
Like, as a father of a 10-year-old.
Right.
Like, that kids, like, eight years from now, they can do in college.
That's crazy.
He's, unfortunately, he doesn't really listen to me as far as coaching.
So I'm going to be the dad that spends a bunch of money for him to go to camps and learn how to punt when it's like we could have just gone to a field and figure this out for free.
Well, maybe it's because he's 10 now.
Like I think when he's 14, first in high school, he'll go, oh, oh, my dad's made the Pro Bowl seven times to be a punter.
Maybe I'll listen to that now.
But also.
There'd be four more.
I'd appreciate that.
You're welcome.
I'm a big think in the future kind of guy.
Yeah.
How many years are you trying to play?
until, well, this whole offseason has been great.
It feels like it's retired life.
It's kind of work out.
I got a Peloton in the basement.
That's your workout?
Pretty much.
Yeah, dude, he doesn't work out.
You know, it's hard to respect punters, isn't it?
Look, it's, it really is.
It's tough to respect specialists, especially in camp.
Yes.
Because, like, I'm not even in camp right now.
It's June.
And what Brett just said pissed me off.
You know what I'm saying?
I know, it gets the blood blood.
Oh, you know, it's kind of like retired life.
I'm out here grind in my head, like, in the path.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Getting IVs twice a week, just trying to get ready to get my head caved in.
Yeah.
I was on a Zoom with Breton.
He says he doesn't work out.
No, I do work out.
Okay, Peloton, sorry.
Peloton.
I got weights in the basement.
How high the weights go?
60.
You get you okay.
Dude, you forget that I've played with you for seven years.
I know, I know how much you work out.
Doesn't work out.
Look, the way the genetics I have, like when I got to Denver, okay, you might not believe
this.
I did 275 with Prater eight times
And I looked the exact same as I do now
At 34
A little bit of commitment
Discipline I promise you
What about how's your diet?
Great
My wife's a great cook
Does she like do
Are you dairy free nonjima
Are you like a gluten free guy?
I mean I try to like stay away from
Some of that stuff
Yeah
I'm not going to go out like pound ice cream all the time
But how good is ice cream?
It's unbelievable
It's my favorite ice cream
Hey, Coco's.
My workouts.
My workouts, my workouts, shout out you, dude.
Shout out.
I want to give that one free, but you can't.
You got to pass.
I just like, my workout's just a little bit different.
It was, when I turned 30, that's when it started to change from me.
You started to change body-wise?
Just, no, just like I started to get more sore.
Really?
Yeah.
You don't need to be sore.
I don't get that torque in that leg.
As long as my leg feels fresh, I'm good to go.
So when you hit 30, things got worse.
You got more sore.
Things started to hurt more.
More? More sore.
Yeah.
I hardly ever get sore.
Because I'm like a pitcher.
Like I'm not going to go out and pitch every day.
I'm not going to go out and kick every day.
So you just have to manage all that.
Well, hang on.
So we were on a Zoom.
And my man was like, yeah, I don't really work out a whole lot.
I'm like, do you stretch?
He's like, no, not really.
Oh, Brett.
Yeah.
I'm like, what do you do?
I will say this.
And if you, and I hate, well, I'm going to say it.
But I remember after you made your first Pro Bowl.
Brett and Ryan
We're all worried about you
Like what if it goes to his head
What if this happens?
What does that happen?
And then literally like
It was maybe your best year
That your second
Well this year was pretty good too
But sorry
Hey hey we both
That's 100
Hey
I did earlier
Oh no
You started talking
And I go
I said the F word
Oh did you?
Yeah
Oh man
Bryce we're sorry
I got a $200 to Bryce
Oh man
He'll buy some sweet Lego says
All right
$200 to Bryce
That's $100 out of my Amazon card
Oh
She's looking
And so I'm out 150.
Hey, you're going to make that real cash.
What's that?
Real money.
Okay.
But Ryan and Brett were all worried about you.
Not Brett, Beau.
We're all worried about you.
Like, oh, man, what if he's not working hard enough?
And I was like, I don't know.
It seems fine to me.
And we went under pressure.
And you were like literally hitting bombs.
And I'm telling you, like, it took me 10 years to get my first Pro Bowl.
In those previous years, I was so worried about stats.
Yeah.
Like where I finished, like in order to go to the Pro Bowl, you have to be here, here,
and you probably need this many I-20s, all that kind of stuff.
And I tried to get that, and that took me off.
You know, there'd be some games we're actually playing the game, and I'm more worried about,
well, I know we're playing at Buffalo next week.
It's supposed to be windy.
Like, I would just, so I have to go out this game and make sure I average over 50.
And so.
Just overthink a lot.
Oversink everything.
The first year I made of the Pro Bowl, I was just like, you know what?
I'm not going to look at stats until we vote.
And I didn't.
And it was way better mentally.
I just go out there and punt.
just take each game at a time, each situation, just go out their ball out.
And then after that, it's just like, got the monkey off the back and just keep doing it.
Yeah, that's awesome.
That's so.
You did say, too, like, you either just got it or you don't.
If you kick a football, you either got or you don't.
If we go out to the park and, like, I watch people punt and they come out and say,
oh, I want to be a punter and be like, nope.
Because I'm not the strongest guy.
I just can't, you know, squat the most, you know, all that kind of stuff.
as you got. Pull up your shorts. What?
Let them out. Like, those aren't
big. You're right. I mean,
not to find it. That's your teaching one. I mean, show the other
one. Well, don't, don't go off my legs.
This one's stronger. You got thick hammies, though. Don't, don't sleep on them.
I got them hammies, bro. And the upper quad.
Yeah. This one's stronger.
Because this is not strong either. That's the base.
This is the base. That's the base. And this one's just
the lever. I always figure, like, if I looked at a punter and a
cartoon, it'd be like one, it would be super big. And they'll be like
super scrawny. Kind of like Quagmire when he was like,
doing that thing that I'm not going to say because this is a PG podcast.
You know what I'm saying?
Bryce, please laugh at that.
But it's just a matter of how quick, how quick you can get your leg through.
Torque.
The torque, the speed that you can create.
So when you watch young Bryce kicking the ball, what's going to see your mind?
He's 10.
He hasn't hit puberty yet.
Has it hasn't hit puberty yet.
His voice hasn't cracked yet.
So it's hard to tell how he's going to punt.
Yeah, but if your son is 16 and he don't got it.
Right.
how is that conversation going to be?
What's your relationship like with your kids?
Is it like,
is it one of those things where like kind of sugarcoat it a little bit?
Bryce?
No,
I hope you're not listening on this one.
Like,
I'm very upfront with Bryce.
Yeah?
Because me,
he's my only son.
You know,
he's got two little sisters.
So I'm very,
like I'm pretty hard on him.
He's got to carry on the bloodline.
But he would tell you that I'm hard on him.
But he's a great kid.
So Bryce is the best kid.
Bryce is one of those kids.
Like,
you were doing something one day in a locker room.
and I watched Bryce in the locker room.
Like,
like, that's not going to be creepy.
We literally like through,
we played catch for 30 minutes.
Like, if you pick up a ball with that kid,
he will play catch all day.
He played catch with Lamar this year in the locker room for,
I mean, Lamar played catching for 20 minutes.
No way.
Oh, they just had a blast.
Just throwing the ball back and forth.
That's awesome.
That's a special picture right there
because he was born in Denver.
When I got cut, he was six weeks old.
Dang, that had to be hard.
It was hard.
It was real hard.
So he was six weeks old.
My wife stayed back with him for a week.
I was out golfing, right?
You're golfing with a six-week-old?
Sounds like you were taking everything pretty seriously.
It was six weeks into the season something,
and who's going to pick up a punter after six weeks, right?
So I go to the course where if you're a Broncos player,
you can play for three, right?
I show up on a Tuesday, and the guy checking me out,
he goes, he's like, hey, Brett, it's 80 bucks.
He said, 80 bucks.
He goes, he's like, well, he's like, didn't you, you got cut yesterday, right?
I said, yeah, can you give me a break?
Like, yeah, I just got cut.
Yeah, he's like, well, you're not technically a Bronco anymore.
Yo!
I paid 80 bucks.
I'm on the fourth hole putting.
I get back to the cart.
I have like, eight in his calls.
Four from my agent and four from this 615 number.
I'm like, who's 615?
Right.
And my agent's obviously calling me, so what's going on?
So I call my agent.
He's like, if the 615 number calls you back, you best.
better answer it because it's the Titans.
I said, okay.
So it calls me back.
Hey, this is Lake Dawson from the Tennessee Titans.
We just want to let you know that we picked you up off waivers and your flight leaves
in two and a half hours.
Oh, my house where we were renting from the airport was an hour.
Oh, so you had to go.
So I had to go.
Where was the golf course?
The golf course was probably 15 minutes away.
From the airport.
Yeah.
And I was actually more upset that I wasted $80 on the round of golf.
Yeah.
Because I just got cut.
I would have been tight, dude.
Like, hey, I want that 80 back.
I wanted to.
I was in a way of a scene.
I was in such a hurry that I was out.
And so he was six weeks old.
And so this was the first time that my wife and him were able to go back for a game.
So it was pretty crazy.
Titans got the pro bowler.
Hey, that's a solid story.
That's a solid story, dude.
Shout out Tennessee Titans getting that one right.
I like the golf wave.
Yeah.
Game of golf.
No doubt, dude.
That's crazy.
Dude, get back to tell him, because Taylor walked in when you were talking about how you made it.
I interrupt everything.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Because at first, we left on, he was sending her a lot of Facebook pokes.
Pokes.
Did you poke back in the day?
He wasn't a man enough to talk to her in person, so he kept poking her on Facebook.
Oh, really?
Yeah, kind of a weird deal.
So I want to hear the ending of this.
Yeah, they kind of sounds like a bit of a, like, you know, just drop them.
I was nervous.
I mean, you could tell she's a 10 out of 10.
And so I was nervous to talk to her.
And so the Intermaral softball team I was on, it was all couples.
And that was like the fifth wheel.
Right.
So the one girl had a class that got rescheduled for a test.
And so I asked the couple that was kind of in charge of the team.
I said, hey, since this is all a couple team, why don't you bring a girl that I could go on a date with?
Right.
And the girl was like, got the perfect girl for you.
Perfect.
Who comes walking?
The one you've been poking.
On Facebook, on Facebook, on Facebook.
Yeah.
The one I've been poking on Facebook.
Right.
So she, I was obviously extremely nervous.
I knew she was in my history of jazz class, which sounds like a complete, what a football player
would take, but it was a really good class.
Yeah, but it is. I took it too. It is what
a football player takes. But it's a great class.
One of those first year classes. Yeah, 100%. All my
classes were like that. I was a general studies major.
Failed stats twice. I was geography and urban development.
So,
yeah. Geography and urban development.
Yeah. So what do you mean? Like, you go around
the urban areas of the city? No, you go
playing neighborhoods. You know, you see the guys
that are kind of a... She played Sims
as a class.
Close, yeah.
Yeah.
They actually...
Isn't that like a thing, right?
Yeah.
You actually go and you design your own stuff, stuff.
But like if you, let's say you're created a neighborhood.
Right.
And you have a certain acreage of concrete or asphalt.
Then you got to figure out how big your runoff pond is so that things don't flood.
Yeah.
All that kind of stuff.
I could use you for the house I'm building right now.
Yeah.
But see, the problem is I was majoring that in 2008 when nobody was building houses.
So it was football or bust.
Yeah.
Right.
Thankfully football worked out.
Oh, my goodness.
At 2008, like, literally no one.
My wife and I had like $2,000 in our bank account on Cut Day.
And I'm like, how's this?
With the six week old.
With a six week old.
That's terrifying.
No, no, no, no.
That was my rookie year.
He was born second year.
Okay.
Okay.
So you're a little more jangle in that pocket.
Why did you get cut?
Do you have a bad game?
No.
They just said they were going a different direction.
McDaniels called me up and said we're going a different direction.
I was like fifth in the league and gross.
So why would you have a bad direction?
Did you have an attitude?
Do I?
You could have.
You could have.
I've known you and you're the later part of your career.
Have you not seen me matured quite a bit from one that we're seven year seven?
Yeah.
And his kids are very strict and disciplined around there.
You don't get a lot out of them.
So, you know, he could be pretty.
He could have been a wild child.
Yeah, he could have been wild, man.
I don't think you were a wild child.
I would actually bet money that you weren't a wild child.
First year of college, I was a wild child.
But who doesn't have that.
Yeah.
No, I was, yeah, I kept that first year of college,
kind of mentality until like when I met Taylor in my third year for about seven more years.
I probably would be dead in a ditch rat in a half. It wasn't for my wife. Shout out Taylin.

Back to the episode.
No, I mean, but seriously, though, like,
so she came to the game,
and I was trying to play it off cool.
Like, I know she's in my history jazz class,
but I'm going to say,
oh, are you in my biology class, blah, blah, blah,
you know, even though I knew exactly
where she grew up.
Make it seem like you didn't really.
know a whole lot of all that stuff that I knew on Facebook and so then I think it was like the
second inning she came around third and she slid head first in the home plate and she got called
out because you weren't allowed to slide right which did you tell her the rules no I didn't but I didn't
think she was going to slide head first in a whole plate sure there's no sliding and I looked at my
roommate and I was like dude I'm like I'm gonna marry that girl so that's what that's what happened
that's how that went down so how many times you have to poke her via Facebook before you got to
poke anymore.
So after that, you were like...
And then we found out we lived in the same apartment complex
and went to the same church. So it was like,
this is great. Oh, wow.
And now we're going on
year 12 this year.
So...
That's impressive.
Shout out the currents, dude.
In a world where the statistics are
against you. Yeah.
12 years. 12.
It's kind of like, I mean,
after 12 years, like, you better
might as well just do the whole thing, right?
You know what I'm saying?
I feel like 12 is that mark where you're like,
well, we're definitely not going to get that.
now.
We have to stay together forever.
Yeah, I agree with you.
No doubt.
Because statistically, like, those seven of us in here, four of us are going to get divorced.
That's on the high.
That's on the higher end.
Not it.
Oh.
Did you start pointing the finger?
And we said 12 years.
They don't even stay together down anymore.
Oh, you're pulling up the statistics of divorce.
Is this where we're going?
So, Bryce, I hope you're listening closely.
Are we going Joe Robes right now?
This is a good, this is a good example for you right now.
this world is tough, all right?
And make sure you find the right person
that has the same moral values of you
as you to spend the rest of your life with.
So I'm glad we're going through this educational process.
What do these bars and graphs say?
40-50%.
42%.
42%.
I thought it was 50 to 60.
I'm happy about this number.
Yeah.
So really more around three of us
are getting still an opportunity
for someone to say, not it.
Not it.
Not it.
Not it.
Oh.
Jackton, Jackton say,
anything but he's back there like i don't know i'll go through jac is for sure yeah jack is for sure
jack was back there just hand an out ringed his head he's like opro with them things you get an
annulment you get an annulment you get an annulment oh that's good dude that's awesome what else we get on
the what else we get on the list we got questions don't we yeah we do oh but hey you know what
you know what we're fired up about what have you went on uh pat maccavy show have you went on it
very salty subject why okay okay we
you're on ours. I know. I would go on this one. I told you I would go on this podcast before
Pat's 3.0. Hey, big Pat fan, big Pat fan, big Pat fan, but that's a big win. I love Pat.
I know a big Pat fan. We got a for the brand guy. We got the punter on our bus. I have the
shirt for the punter podcast. I have the shirts, but you saw the picture. You saw it did. I did.
Zoom call. Yeah. So it was the last game of the year. I think it was 2015. We sucked, right?
We're like three and 13.
Yeah.
So it was Venetary's like 20th year, whatever he, you know, I thought for sure he's retiring after the season.
Right.
He keeps going.
So Ryan and I were like, let's trade jerseys because I want Venetary's jersey.
And I was like, you know what?
Pat's coming off a Pro Bowl.
I'd love to get his jersey because that's when I started to collect jerseys.
So they were like, hey, look, let's just swap.
Let's take a picture.
And then our equipment guy won't let us send out the jerseys.
because I think they were going to the playoffs that year.
He's like, yeah, he'll find us like $250.
You know, after the season's done, we'll send you the jersey.
And I was like, here, well, why don't you just take mine, Ryan, you know,
Vintyri took Ryan's jersey, suck up's jersey.
We'll send it to you in the mail and the scene's over it.
Still waiting on that jersey.
Did Vin and Terry said his jersey?
Nope.
Wow.
So they got your guys as jerseys you didn't get theirs.
Correct.
And it is, you, if you give away your jerseys, I have a lot of jerseys.
I have a lot of jerseys of guys that I respect, you know, punting-wise, kicking-wise.
You know, I even got Slater's jersey that I got to pull bowl this year.
Yeah.
You know.
He does Slater's a stud there.
$300 for Brise.
Dang.
All right.
I'm down to $800 off the Amazon card.
Okay.
Hey, what is this talking about Amazon card?
I'm going to coax you in a square band.
He gives his punt team Amazon gift cards when he makes the Pro Bowl or just every year.
Or is it a pro-ball?
Yeah, Pro Bowl.
Yeah.
So every year from now on.
Oh, hey, let me get in that.
I mean, it's a little overdrawn at this point, right?
Yeah.
But you could promote the social media voting.
No, I don't know if that really matters.
No, well, we're, we are going to hook like no one's business.
Trust me, dude.
We got plans.
We got plans.
You're on this.
I'll put Taylor in it.
We got plans while he does his thing.
And I'm, I'm tell you what, I am going to absolutely hook for votes this year.
It's comeback season for the boy.
Good.
Yeah, well, I mean, I mean, I missed you last year.
I'll tell you what, dude, I was the...
Did you miss me?
Yeah, I mean, Will did go with me.
I did I go, and I felt like it was a little more fun.
You went the year before, right?
Yeah, when, yeah, what Taylor went.
There.
The universe tonight?
I paid for his room and everything.
He had a good time.
Now, I will say, I will...
It was very cheap.
I am cheap.
But the way Taylor pitched it to me, it seemed like it was an all-inclusive thing
where you have a set number of people you can invite to the Pro Bowl.
Not true.
So when he asked me, of course, I was fired up.
I was like, yeah, I'll go.
Oh, I'm up 50.
$400.
I'm up 50 on you.
Let's go.
There goes that Amazon gift card down the drain.
Yeah, that's tough.
That is tough.
So go ahead.
Keep talking about you're making,
you're making Bryce's so much money.
I almost cussed again right there.
No, you didn't.
Your kids are going to have such a potty mouth.
Yeah, they probably are.
I know.
Yeah, your kids.
And when I got there and they were like,
can we get a card on file or something like that?
Or they said, like, oh, it's all paid for it.
I'm like, what do you mean paid for?
And they were like, oh, are you under the little one thing?
And they're like, yeah, he's going to be paying for your guys' room and everything and all that stuff.
And I was like, what the?
I'm not saying.
Hey, good, good.
Good job for a golf clap.
But I didn't know it's like coming out of pocket.
You know what I'm saying?
So he did.
And I appreciate it.
I had a great time.
He suddenly put me in his back pocket a little bit.
Oh, dude.
Oh, so nice.
Yeah.
But yeah.
So that universal night.
That universal night is a blast.
Dude, all time.
It's all time.
Standing in line.
Remember we cut up?
We got in line with him.
Yeah.
Well, to go on the bus at the hotel.
Yeah, that's the longest line of the night is to get on the bus.
Yeah.
We cut the line to get in with you.
We did actually do that.
Yeah.
Dude, the problem is so much fun.
It is so much fun.
It's literally the best experience.
And now I'll never take it for granted again because it's comeback season.
And you missed a sweet jersey this year too.
Don't even get me started, bro.
I truly, I thought that in my head.
like this year.
I got three of them that are all red.
I know.
There's like subtle differences in one.
Like two were the exact same.
One is like a little bit different like this outlining.
I remember the boys idea jersey jerseys?
Look at the though.
Look at the.
Yeah.
We'll get those for them.
Yeah, but he got ripped off because those are ugly.
But we got.
Yeah, but still, but still cool because they're different.
It doesn't matter.
You could literally do puke green and they'd still be cool because they're
proble jerseys.
Right.
Do you know what I agree with that?
I got to order 10 of them this year.
Oh, dude.
I'm about to order a fleet for the bull.
boys, let's go, kids.
Not you, Jack.
Let's go, kids.
D.
Borsay.
Oh, yeah, yeah, in the Pro Bowl voting and all that.
Yeah, we're selling out.
Oh, yeah, we were talking about it.
I don't even remember.
Cool.
Yeah.
But you're on the team.
You're on the bus and roster.
All the tier ones are tier one fans will for sure are most of our tier two's will.
Yep.
Probably less than half of our tier three's will.
Yeah.
We have three tiers of fans here.
Okay.
Oh, that was always a, that was a good question when we were on with, with, we won't
say his name.
on his show, the 6.15
show. Who's that?
We're not allowed to say. Yeah, we're not going to say his name.
Starts with the B. He ends with a K, his first name.
Rhymes with a word that it gets you find.
Burger King.
Oh, boy.
It rhymes with duck.
Starts with the B.
We're not going to say his name, though.
But on his show.
Oh.
Tell me that guy that's ugly is.
Yeah, that has a 50-year-old's voice.
Yeah.
Andrew Luck?
No.
There we go.
Well, this, the guy, that guy actually.
There we go, Andrew Luck.
We'll call him Andrew Look.
BK wanted to actually.
Is it BK or BR?
BR?
B.R.
B.R.
B.R.
B.R. Wanned to be one of the boys in the behind.
Yeah, he did.
He still does.
He won't.
You know why?
Not good enough.
Right.
A good question we had on there is how many,
how many you think you could pound before a game and still perform at a pro bowl level?
Look at point F.
Okay.
Uh, I don't know.
I think the more relaxed I am, the better I play.
So, yeah.
I mean,
you know, I'm more of a bourbon guy, but are we talking like how many beers you could?
Yeah.
So I don't know, probably six.
Is that a lot?
That's a fair number.
Is that a good?
That's a fair number.
That's a number that's like, oh, he's probably telling the truth.
Yeah.
Well, because it came off of like the whole not working out stretching.
He's like, you either got it or you don't.
And that's where that question kind of came about.
He's like probably six.
Yeah, six, six, six, right on par.
Seven little too much.
But if you were still like 14.
Well, it's great.
Brett.
No, that's, you know.
That's out of my range
It seems like you got a couple problems going on
That's out of my range
14 my goodness
Number two behind
Trace Way
Oh Trace Way
Yeah yeah
You're at the Pro Bowl this year
You know Tres was actually
On his way through
And wanted to come on the bus
But we weren't like
I think that's when the COVID stuff was happening
And he was in California
So we couldn't do it
But Tress was about to be the first one
The first punter specialist
To come on the bus
Okay.
And I always give him, we always have this running joke because we get like tight and I just let him know.
I just remind him that he's number two behind Tress, like in my friendship of funners.
Right.
That's fine.
You have a whole plethora of them?
You have a lot of punter friends?
I think two.
I get, I'll count, I'll count, uh, A.J. Cole from the Raiders.
Good.
I'm glad you remember it.
Yes.
Brett's living my only partner friend.
Yeah.
You got a good one.
He's solid.
He's solid.
I'll say Tress, Tress, though.
Tress would be playing with us every Saturday.
Tress would be trying to get us involved in like either the spike ball, the wolf ball, the volleyball.
Oh, wow.
Tress was that kind of friend.
Wow.
You know what I'm saying?
You don't really do that for me at all.
He doesn't.
He sticks in his lane.
Like when they play golf, they just play golf with their own buddies.
Yeah, you don't really call me.
Yeah, we don't get invites.
Tress taught me how to play golf.
I'm actually starting to think we're not actually friends.
Exactly.
This Tress guy seems like somebody you might want to meet.
I sounds like a guy that would, if he enjoys my company, I might get a text message.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Do you have my number?
Yeah.
Prove it.
Uh-oh.
Here we go.
it. I bet he probably does
from the Pro Bowl, like in
passing. Like, hey, save us a spot
in line on the bus type of thing. Say it out loud.
Well, that is my voicemail.
It is. That's my voicemail.
Let's see. Save yourself.
You got a miss call? Wait, hold on.
Let's see. What is my number pop up as?
It's really cool. I personalized it.
I actually put your number as a contact.
So it's
interesting.
So.
Now you have my number.
That kind of bad.
This is awkward.
Yeah.
This is awkward.
Hey,
guys are you just texting me.
Mike Campanero.
No way.
We're in a group chat.
So 12 sets of three of 375 before doing 4.05 for one.
None of my friends are meatheads.
I thought you guys would appreciate my grind.
Cry laughy face.
Cry laughy face.
Shout out Dob.
That is funny.
So you guys share workout pictures?
I don't know.
You don't work out.
I don't know what that's like.
I'll send me a video of your Peloton.
I'll send you a picture of a round of golf I played this morning.
Oh, he did RDL one RDL.
So why don't you invite, why is your group so, like, exclusive on the golf course?
Because I'm, like, I'm very last minute when I play in golf.
And you see.
Like, I could, I could, like, Bo might text me tonight, 8 o'clock.
Hey, I got a tea time tomorrow, 830.30.
You win?
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Is it fair to say you study golf more than you?
do football. Yes. I play fantasy golf. I watch golf. I subscribe to the PGA tour. The things you got,
I can watch it Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I can have it on the TV all day. Have you been to
Augusta? Been to that? Yes. How awesome. Unbelievable. Is it true that they keep like the food is the
same amount? Yeah. You can bring a $20 bill and that'll last you the whole day. Really?
But if you're going to slam some beers, I'd bring an extra 20. I mean, I'm in six. Past six,
I'm kind of in your range.
40,
40 bucks would cover you the whole day, easily.
Really?
Now the pro shop.
Blast you.
You're coming out of pocket.
That's easily a thousand.
Yeah, you're coming out of pocket there.
For a hat?
No, no, no.
By the time you go through the whole thing and you have your bag full, they're like,
oh, your totals, 949, 36.
It happens fast.
Wow.
Real fast.
Get you like that.
Real fast.
Oh, when they, when people talk about like the handicapped thing, like what's your
handicap or let's scratch golf?
Zero.
Yeah, I'm a zero.
Oh, so.
You don't have a handicapped.
No, I'm like a zero.
Oh, stop.
Yeah.
You're good.
I mean, all right, yeah.
Well, no, he's zero.
I'm not like, there's no way.
Yeah, which is, if you want to go, of course, you finished even.
Well, no, it depends on the rating.
Like Augusta?
Would you go to Augusta?
So like Augusta, if you were to play, the rating might be 77.
Uh-huh.
So even though par 72, the rating is 77 is a scratch.
I should be able to shoot 77.
So are you a scratch golfer?
You know, zero?
Zero and a scratch.
Yeah, the same thing.
Same thing.
So you go to a Gus and hit a 77.
I've never played there.
Do you play spike ball?
Spike ball?
Yeah.
No, I haven't.
You play spike ball?
Hey, I learned something right now.
I've always been curious about the whole rating, scratch, zero handicapped stuff.
What's, McCabe?
McCabe, probably if you're tipping it out, probably like 71.
So if I go to McCabe, I should probably shoot under par.
So it's not that type of course if it's 71.
McCabe's like bare feet and tank tops.
Yeah,
kind of place.
But if you go out the golf club of Tennessee,
you probably tip it out is probably 76, 77.
Now, when you use the phrase,
tip it out.
Yeah,
I appreciate that.
Like,
as far back as you can go.
Back tee boxes.
Oh,
the back ones.
I use the front ones.
It's like pro men's women's or something.
Yeah,
there's usually like champ,
you know,
pro member,
you know,
then you get the ladies
and you have the juniors.
Do you play if you don't hit it past the women's
that you got to put your pants down?
Yeah,
play the people.
out.
Oh, boy.
I haven't played like that, but that might be a new rule of implemented.
I think that's like a thing.
I think it's a thing.
I've had to do it.
I'll tell you what.
So hopefully it's a thing because if not, I was just doing it.
Yeah.
Register, register it's ex-cender.
Did Tress ask you to do that?
Do what?
That rule.
No, no, no.
That was in Bontair.
That was, so there's some weird.
Oh!
Let's go.
$500.
Dude, I felt bad when I let out.
one piece.
You let out four pieces.
I'm up.
I started the day down 250.
For some odd reason,
I was down 250 and I'm up 150.
Yeah,
I really want to know what happened there.
So it was an Amazon card?
Yeah,
so the year in 18,
when I was there and he went to the Pro Bowl,
it was a $500 gift card to Amazon.
Okay.
Yeah.
And he gave it to all the boys on the punt team.
Sure.
Shout out.
We loved it.
A lot of boys.
It was awesome.
Yeah, a lot of guys.
I didn't care if you played 10 snaps on punt.
That's true.
Or you're like Will that played a lot.
Right.
And then in 19,
when I wasn't there,
and he said the gift card went up to $750.
Wow.
So I missed out on $7.50 just not being on the tides, but there's a $250 buffer there.
Then I tried to justify by saying, in fairness, when that 19 team was getting ready for the 20 season, they had to figure it out by watching 2019 film, or 2018 film.
The boy.
The boy was on it.
So there's a little bit of responsibility I had in this past year.
Yeah, but you shouldn't get the full $250.
If anything, you should have been $25.
No, no, I didn't get the full $7.50.
I didn't get the full $2.50.
I'm really about.
to just, I might, he might get fined again because 17 was like way better than 18.
We actually dipped in 18 and then came back up to 19.
But was I 19 or 20?
Oh, now it's 20.
Oh, we dipped when I was there.
Yeah.
But we still, I mean, we still did really good.
Even though you tried to ruin it, Brett still made the Pro Bowl.
That's what he's trying to say.
Well, I think I was like the special teams guy.
I like the year.
Yeah.
No.
I probably had the most.
18, we had like three Pro Bowers.
You had the most tackles that year, didn't you?
I'm just saying like, as far as like, the,
awards that were passed out weekly, I got the most of those.
You know what I'm saying?
I was on the wall.
See, GBs?
You got some GPs?
Yeah, like when you're in high school and you see your name like on some plaque a few times.
See, we're looking at it doesn't mean a lot, but it means a lot to you.
Yeah.
Cets we're down in 18.
They were still great.
So if anything, Will should probably owe you a few dollars.
No, it's okay.
Well, he actually does now.
He does now.
I do.
Five-Hen Bryce.
Literally, I'm going to, I'll go buy.
I'll go take Bryce to Target.
and we'll get him a sweet Lego set.
He loves putting Legos together.
I'll tell you what.
This day,
not a joke.
I will,
I still love putting Legos together.
I love doing it too.
Like when my girls get Legos for Christmas,
I'm like,
hey,
do you want to day to put that together?
No,
I'll put it together for you.
No, I'll put it together.
No,
I'm putting it together.
I was a Lincoln.
I'm putting together.
Oh,
for sure.
Lincoln Lowe is solid.
I'm, dude,
ADD poster child,
but if you put a set of Legos in front of me,
I'm gone for hours.
I'm with you.
I will sit there and I will just,
do exactly what I will just do that.
It's amazing. I will just do that.
I will just do Legos.
Taylin saw like three years ago, like right before we had her child.
Or maybe our child was six years old, six months old.
That's a solid question.
We'll get that to say.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I'll tell you what, I like to put my hat in the ring for that.
I got Taylin, a Simpsons Lego set, and we put it together.
It was so much fun.
But I was like two years ago, three years ago.
Wow.
That's awesome.
I don't know what.
I mean, I'm upset that this story didn't go the way I thought it was going to go.
So anyway.
I held back from saying that's a great story.
I just held back.
I said, oh, I didn't know where to go from there.
No, no, no, yeah.
It was it done.
Yeah, it's okay.
Wasted everybody 15 seconds of the podcast.
Right.
Just wasted 15 seconds.
Best emergency punter on the At Titans roster.
I don't know.
That's what the thing says, doesn't it?
Who would you think is the best emergency punter on the Titans roster?
I would hope it would be Bo, but the problem is he snaps.
But Beau has taught me how to snap over the years and I've taught Bo how to punt.
Really?
And it's worked out.
Like, he's getting...
Bo has got to snap the ball.
I understand that.
Yeah, I don't know.
Everybody comes up to me and they're like, hey, I can pun.
I punting. I punting in high school.
Of course, everybody putting in high school.
I mean, if you get like a rugby style pun, I'll put that thing down 30, 40 yards.
Perfect.
No, work.
Do you think you'd be the best punter?
No, emergency punter.
No.
I don't because you've seen me kick a soccer ball.
Totally different things you're kicking, though.
It's totally different things I'm kicking, but the leg power is all the same.
True.
I mean, I'm a forward.
I'm going to move you pistons kind of guy.
I'm trying to remember who was it
Kaluu?
It'd have to be like a receiver.
Somebody plays soccer.
Like those guys that are good at everything.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like our own watered down version of Odell Beckham.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Whoever that is.
I don't even know if we have a guy like that.
That's just, well, I can see, I legit see Tannahill could be a really good punter.
Probably.
Tanyl strikes me as one of those guys that's kind of just good at everything.
100%.
You know, good at ping pong.
Those are always, like, ping pong.
I'm glad you said that too, because I always feel like the specialists are kind of sneaky
athletic and they're good at everything.
Yeah, I'm not great at anything, but I feel like, you know, I'm pretty good at golf.
I'm pretty good at shooting basketball.
Well, you're really good at golf.
You know who's great at everything?
Trustway.
Trustway.
Yeah.
We should, I'm so, we should have set up a ping pong table at the football.
Oh, yeah.
We had a thing.
We had a ping pong table in the Titans locker room and then one of the receivers twisted
his ankle during training camp.
That's gone.
that little,
that little,
that little,
that little tights
basketball hoop
has really got a
lot of work
and now has it.
I bought one of those
for the house.
Dude,
it is getting out.
It gets a lot of miles
on that thing.
I bought one.
I bought one.
Same one.
It's in the house.
I got to practice.
You take a basketball ball?
You still play?
Yeah.
I go take some money
from the guys that,
you know,
want to play pig
and all that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
You take a basketball goal
and set in the middle
of an NFL locker room.
That's going to get more
than,
I don't have to doubt
anything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I got three colleges to pay for and two weddings.
I got to start somewhere.
No question.
That's true.
I'll tell you what, you could be one of those dads that don't pay for anything for the weddings.
I can't do that.
You could, actually.
There's lots of dads that do that.
Yeah, but I got a buddy who's getting married.
The dad's not paying for anything.
Does the dad got coin?
I don't know if the dad's got coin.
I didn't really ask questions like that.
I feel like if they don't have like a whole lot of coin, then they're probably not going to help a whole lot.
Is it maybe because your buddy, like the father-in-law, the future father-in-law doesn't like him?
It was like true.
No, this guy's a very lovable individual.
I don't really like,
or his daughter's on her second marriage,
so they might have paid for the first one.
Nope,
this girl's first married,
first time getting married.
So,
I'm just saying it happens.
I don't know if the dad's got a coin or not,
but I'm saying like,
like I know
when my daughters get married
that that other dad's going to stare at me
and go,
I'm not paying for a darn thing.
Well,
they got to pay for the guy's side's got to pay for something,
right?
But that feels a little,
that feels a little too traditional for me.
I'm not a big traditional guy.
Well, the guy side's got to pay for,
the rehearsal dinner.
That's all it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's rehearsal dinner.
But like when my son gets married,
like you're going to have two daughters.
You're going to have two weddings.
I know.
I know.
Oh, yeah.
I know.
But I don't,
I don't mean,
I got to pay for it all.
The wedding,
the dress.
The cake.
And I already know you.
They're going to have the food trucks.
We're doing it all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh,
yeah.
I can see you being the dad too that's just going to be like,
you're going to give them the best day ever,
but also like you're going to throw your own kind of party with it.
That's true.
Yeah.
I'm kind of like that, dad, for sure.
Well, if it's not fun for you, what you're doing?
What we do?
What's not fun for you, you know what I'm saying?
Right.
That's a bit of a deal.
I'll tell you what, speaking of weddings, my boy Will over here is getting married.
Congratulations, Will.
I appreciate it.
Yeah.
Ask me to be a groomsman in his wedding.
Very nice of him.
I would expect that.
Will asked his friend Nick to be the best man in his wedding.
Now, in.
Tress, way, he was, he's in my wedding.
No, he's not.
Oh, my God.
He's invited, though.
He'll be there.
will call me this weekend.
If you play your cards right.
When is the wedding?
Next June.
June 26.
June 26.
Big Sky,
Montana.
Montana.
Did a lot of good golf out there.
Might be a nice getaway for the wife and I.
That's what I'm saying.
You should invite every single guest you've ever had in the podcast to the wedding.
Dude,
how funny with that.
Imagine Rich Froney being like,
I don't know.
I don't know.
Oh.
Becker's word?
Yes.
He needs donkey.
No,
no, no, no.
Okay.
Well, the S word means poop.
That's true.
Though the F word means intercourse.
Yeah, but I also said the S word.
You guys counted that against me.
Six.
Chalk it up.
Hey.
It's a loose six.
Bryce is going from like dinky Lego sets.
Now he's getting into the big boy.
Dude, the big boy's like $125.
He's got like six.
I got him to Manchester United Stadium.
It's 300 bucks.
You know, that's like that's the gift you give when you don't feel like parenting.
That was a half.
Hey, go away.
Hey.
What did you know when I got it for?
What was that?
When I found out that schools canceled for the year.
Really?
Quarantine gift.
Off the top.
Hey, Bryce.
I gave my son a quarantine gift to say, figure it out.
How long was he doing that thing?
Did he do the whole thing?
Well, I rationed the bags.
What does that mean?
I rash.
That was such a solid dad move, dude.
So there was 25 bags, all right?
Because it's 3,800 pieces.
So there's 25 bags.
Now, if I let Bryce do it, he would have gotten it done in two days.
and he would have been at it for a while each day.
So I thought, okay, do I do it to where he gets just two days?
Right.
Right.
Or you get it over.
You get just two days.
Or I choose, and I can ration this out knowing that each bag takes him about 20 to 25 minutes.
So if I divide it, if I let him do two bags a day, that might be about an hour of my time where I can just kind of lay low while he's doing his thing.
Watch golf.
Play golf.
Well, nothing was happening.
Everything was getting canceled.
Correct.
So, I rationed it out to a day.
That urban planning degree really paid off.
That urban planning did pay off.
That is true.
That is true.
Alex.
Well, he got, I got 12 days out of it.
12, almost 13 days.
I love that.
That's solid.
That's the ultimate parenting move.
Bryce is looking at you right now.
Just doing like that slow kid turn.
Oh yeah.
I mean, he was upset of me.
He got to all the dad's out there.
There you go.
He wanted to try to get it done.
Like, I want to see how fast I could put this together.
No, no, no.
You're going to do it my way.
Oh, wow.
Oh, wow.
Iron fist.
Yeah, we're going to ration this thing out.
Adolf Kernler over here, dude.
Too much?
Hey, too much?
Hey, we'll just go that.
All right.
We'll just get that.
Dude, man.
Lego's the best for real.
Like, but how did it feel to get the putter of, what, you go ahead?
How did it feel?
to get the punt on New England's one yard line.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this episode of Us with the Boys is brought to you by
Boykees.
I don't know if you heard lately, but your boy got like multiple personalities, so I might just
start singing.
I might just give this thing an old song, all right, but Boykees jerky.
This stuff is the most delicious air-dried beef called Bill Tong.
I still don't know if I'm saying that right.
I feel kind of weird saying that word.
But it's healthier, it's a healthier version of jerky with 30% more.
protein. I don't even know how they do it. It's probably with the drawing. They probably use bigger
steaks, shrink them down. I'm sure the same amount of protein still in there. I really don't know
how raisin steaks work. That's really what jerky is as raisin steaks. All right. It's also
compared to like a tender flavor slice of high in prosciutto, you know, them thin slices of
meat that's super tender and tasty on them chakritory boards when you're feeling fancy. That's what that is.
All right. That's how they talk. That's how they say, that's what this tastes like. Okay. So if you like
being fancy and fit, this is your stuff, all right?
It's Maine, USA, obviously.
Shout out America.
Always few shoutouts on that one.
With USDA bottom brown beef, all right?
Boogie steaks pride in making the most portable.
Is that portable?
Sorry, sometimes you've got to read out these things.
It's kind of tough, all right?
High protein power snack.
All right, think of each two ounce package?
Two ounce package, Taylor.
Yeah, it's a two ounce package.
But that's a perfectly seasoned five-ounce steak, all right?
That's some good stuff.
So if you're feeling a little thick in the thighs, all right?
You're a little thick in the thighs there.
That's Jerry.
You feel a little thick in the thighs.
You eat those a little bit more.
You feel better.
You feel full, but you feel better.
All right?
It's one of those things.
All right?
Most jerkeys, they don't do that for you because they got sugar and stuff.
This guy's zero sugar, all right?
And half the sodium.
That's Jerry, Jayne's Worth.
All right?
That's another thing.
We got like three personalities in this one ad read.
All right?
You can buy Boykees-Bel-Tong on their website.
www.
I don't even know who uses that anymore, but...
www. B-O-I-K-E-Y-S dot com.
And you get that piece on Amazon, just like everything else.
You can get everything on Amazon.
But I'll tell you what you need to do.
If you want some of those boykeys, you want this tender, fresh fit.
You want to feel good all the time and feeling full, which is the best feeling in the entire world.
You use Busts in 20 at the checkout for about 20% off your first order.
All right?
You can follow them on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.
Obviously, E-Boykes.
E-A-T-B-O-I-K-E-E.
Y-S. Big hugs. Tynies.
What's been your favorite pun of all time? How about that?
Like, obviously it feels good to drop this thing on the one-yard line. Was this it? This could have been it.
Playoff game? Yeah. I mean, 18 seconds? Pinned the goat back there? No, in the next play was the
pick six and the game was over. Yeah. But everyone's still, everywhere, we're still like, oh, Tom Brady can
still do this in 18 seconds on the one-yard line. I literally, in my, no time out. I thought it's not over.
Yeah, I know. I honestly said to myself, it's not over. And that pun actually got
rated like the worst pro football focus punt.
Yeah, well, PFF doesn't know what the fuck.
Because look, look, look, the whole point.
I didn't say it.
I didn't say it, but I, we should say it because they really don't.
PFF has no idea.
Look at that.
Low hang time.
You don't want to turn it over because if you turn it over, it could check up.
That's how you get that role.
So you didn't mean to do this.
No, I did.
I meant to do it, but it's a really, really ugly looking punt.
And plus they were bringing nine.
We'll have eight guys to block.
So there's one guy that's free.
So Slater was the free guy.
You can see him.
He kind of dies at my feet.
So this is...
Yeah, when you got to have it, you're sitting in a...
I catch it, barely mold it, gone.
Whoop.
Yeah, it's out.
Wait, go back, go back, go back.
Run it through.
Right wing could have done a little better there.
And it's quick.
So there's no returner back there.
So the hang time, direction doesn't have to...
So you meant to kick it low and do the whole roll thing.
Yeah.
Because then if it gets on the ground, it starts rolling,
the clock's going to keep running.
Especially there's no returner back there.
So you just keep the clock running, running around.
You're out there playing chess.
Yeah.
That's a very impressive point.
Check me.
I would like, I would have liked to see a big selly after that, though.
I think I did a dispump.
He said big selling.
A big selly.
That fist pump to me is like, you might as well have done nothing.
Yeah.
And then the other part is like, you got the baggy jersey on in this loose sleeves.
Like, you got to come correct.
Let's fix that this year.
Let's go tighter sleeves.
Like off the line.
Why?
I can't do it.
Because it hugs you too tight at with your dad bod?
Are you two secures?
Dude here.
No, no, not at all.
No, I can't.
I need to feel like, it's why quarterback's doing it.
So your arm, like when I'm molding the ball, dropping the ball, I don't want to feel like restriction.
You don't want to feel anything on there.
I don't want to feel any restriction.
I have a question.
Why?
Oh, go ahead, Will.
Why can't we get better face masks for kickers and punters?
Like, why do you continue to do that to yourself?
I think mine's pretty good.
Can we look at it?
I want it to be open so I can see the ball.
You need a bar right down the middle face mask.
I mean, two bar, one right down the middle.
Good luck.
Let's see how you Google this one.
See, look at that.
That's a good picture right there.
in the white right in the middle of the screen.
Yeah, yeah, do that one.
Joey, our equipment guy, does a great job of, he actually cuts it.
He cuts a bar out of it.
I don't think you're going to do that.
Well, I mean, that is better than most.
I truly don't understand, like, why you guys need so much space.
Like, the entire game of football is about the ball and catching it and everything else.
So it's like, okay, you guys got your one thing where you got one.
It's just sight lines.
When I mold it, I can see the ball perfectly.
If I had another bar, I don't want a line crossing where the ball is.
So, like, why don't receivers?
That's Seattle.
Why don't receivers and D.Bs and stuff do that then?
You get that elbow up a little bit.
I don't know.
I didn't have laces.
Like, can we get a visor on you?
See, that's a good.
I mean, that is a good picture right there.
That's a good picture.
That's a great picture.
Can we get a visor on you?
Pro Bowl this year.
I tried to do it a couple years ago.
And I think that was Rabel's first year.
And I think I got a big.
head no no who would say no stern of rabel for sure probably would say no to a
potter having a probably did he did he tell you know i don't think i mean he's like why i was like
you know i'm just him's a bud it's ota's off season would try and experiment see what i look like
with a visor i love that but they got a lot of looks thinking like this is a joke and i'm
this is i'm kind of serious about this and so i took it off pure pressure yeah who got
a lot of, you, so you put a visor on and Vrable goes, no, or did John go, no?
I don't think John was out there when I did it.
And Vrable goes, no.
I think I just got like a look of, from Vrable?
Yeah.
And do you think that's in your head?
Because I don't feel like, I was, it was a lot of stuff.
It was Vrabel's first year, too.
So, like, I've been through a lot of coaches here, which, which we need to talk about
that first question.
That's probably my proudest, is being able to be here for going on year 12 here with
all the head coaches that we've had.
Oh, when I asked about the Pro Bowl versus All Pro thing.
I guess you didn't really answer that.
Yeah, well, there you go.
There's your answer.
Just being here for a long time with the different coaching changes that we've had because it's hard.
You know what's like coaching changes are hard.
The guy's coming in, he doesn't know you.
I was 0 for one in Denver.
I had Shaney had my rookie year and then McDianos comes in.
I'm gone.
So, yeah.
Just like that.
That's crazy.
How long have you been with Ock?
Ock.
What year for?
Ock's a stud, dude.
It's great guy.
Shout out.
Oxsog.
He is a stuff.
He's funny too.
He is funny.
He is funny.
When he doesn't drop those F balls in front of Bryce.
Yeah.
Even when he misses, he's funny because he understands when he misses.
Yeah.
He can make fun of himself.
That's the key.
Can't take yourself too seriously.
When you're special teams, especially punter, kicker, snapper,
like you've got to be able to make fun of yourself.
Definitely.
Because you're not really considered, like, I was the only guy,
I was the only guy that raised my hand in high school.
Who wants to punt and kick?
Nobody thought that was cool.
I'll do it.
Loser.
For sure.
But it's okay.
Three probos later.
It's okay.
12 year career.
Yeah.
Golf simulator.
Peloton.
Peloton.
$300.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
It went down in $50, which kind of upsets me.
But it's okay.
They got you on that court.
They knew, all right, everyone's going to be quarantined.
Let's hike these prices up on these Legos.
Now that people are out being able to shop a little bit more.
Price are coming down.
Consume a little bit more.
Now it dropped 50 bucks.
50 bucks.
Yeah.
But Will's got it covered.
Yeah, I do.
Oh, Will and Taylor
about to pay for the whole thing now.
Because of our attitudes
and our poor mouth.
You can Venmo.
I can't even go.
It's been our best,
probably less cursing pod.
Yeah,
because we'd be conscious of it.
Good.
I'll tell you what,
reading a room is important for us.
Yeah.
We don't do that very well.
I think we do sometimes.
Or most of the time.
We do it sometimes.
Sometimes we don't do it as well.
Sometimes we don't do it as well.
people and we do say a lot of things that we probably shouldn't what are we what are you thinking
about right now most situations what are i'm not going to say him out loud here i know but now you
got me curious i'll tell you what though is nick doing your best man speech or should i did the
speech you guys will probably both have speeches really you had you guys had people talking
the entire day before the wedding i cannot wait for nick to mess it up and i'm going to tell him to i'm
put so much, I'm going to put so much pressure on him.
Do you understand how big of a dealist is being the best man?
Do you understand what's better happen?
He'll be, he'll be solid.
Does he know?
No, he'll be like this.
He'll be like this.
But I'm saying, does he know the pressure?
You can't look at a best man's speech off your phone.
Yeah.
I'm eyes on eyes, dude.
I will stare you down.
If he does that, Taylor just stand up.
Put your phone down.
Pat him on the shoulder.
Hey, I got it.
He's going to look at me in.
I'm going to be like,
I didn't hold the phone at his at his wedding.
You know what I mean?
I gave the people something, dude.
Good.
Did you?
I did.
No, I really did.
I love it.
I actually felt bad because the maid of honor who had to follow me
legitimately had to, like, read off the phone.
I'm big into when weddings.
And when I did it, I like, I put the mic down and I said, good luck.
Like joking.
And I feel like that put a lot of undue pressure on her.
And then she had to read.
And then afterwards.
How big was the wedding party?
Like how big was the,
the wedding.
How many people were there?
Yeah.
I think like 150.
Not bad.
See, that sounds like a lot, but it's really not a lot.
Yeah, but it can be a lot.
How could be it your wedding?
All 50.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Two to three.
100?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Can't hide money.
Charles' dad better be ready.
Charles gave me to try to narrow it down in 150.
you, but it's too hard for me.
Can't do that.
It's too hard for me.
I can't think.
Like, now I've already thought,
yeah, I want to invite Brett now.
You know what I mean?
Got to.
You actually have to invite Brett
because it'd be inappropriate
if we'd talked about it and then you don't do it.
I know.
I know.
I know.
That's what usually happens on, like, the day-to-day.
I find somebody I'm like,
oh, I got to add that.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what one of my biggest regrets of my wedding.
Pity invite or?
I can see how you're taking it that way.
I'm just letting you know what goes on in my head.
Hey, look, I'll take a...
I'll take, I'll go to a wedding in big sky.
That's what I'm saying.
But it's genuine when I think, oh, I got to invite Brett, not because I feel like I have to.
Not because I invite Tress.
You know what I'm saying?
I get it.
Trust is your boy.
Yeah.
As long as it's understood, it's all good.
I'm fine with it.
Yeah.
Number two is a great spot.
It's a free country.
It's a free country.
It's a free country.
You're allowed to pick who your friends are.
Yeah, for sure.
I'll tell you what my biggest regret of my wedding one.
Did we interrupt you?
Twice.
actually in the last minute and a half.
I looked on the clock.
Graham Glasgow,
great friend of mine.
Should have made him a grooms me in my wedding and I didn't do it.
I feel like to see that out loud.
So Graham knows I've said it publicly now.
Okay?
It's a lot of to say.
Should I make, Grandma should have done it, Graham.
We need to start railing this pot in.
It's over.
I have to leave.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You do.
You got a hard 330.
Yeah.
I know.
I got it.
Yeah.
Hey, bro, thank you for coming on this podcast.
Yeah, I appreciate you.
What an honor.
You crushed it.
Did we hit everything?
Oh, your Haas story.
You don't have to hit everything in the podcast.
No, this is a good one.
I was got a really good one.
He told me.
The longest tenured, Titan employee fired.
What happened?
All right.
So you know how, like, when Nashville hosts, those EPL teams come over and they like
scrimmage each other, blah, blah, blah, over at Nissan.
So they came over.
This is in training camp.
Training camp, if I have to be on the field 20 minutes, I'm on the field 20 minutes.
I go inside, cold tub, whatever.
work out, get off the field.
We know what you got to do.
Yeah, yeah.
Palatine.
Yeah, yeah.
So these guys were at practice and they gave Ryan and I a soccer ball.
So we were done with our special teams part.
We came back in and the bow was like, dude, I'm the goalie.
Try to get it past me in the locker room.
Okay.
So you know where our lockers are, right?
Yeah.
So I set it up like a PK.
I'm thinking like maybe 25, 30 feet.
Now, Haas, you have the door back to the equipment room.
That was shut, but that was the goal.
Now, you know next to that small door?
Yeah, that was the goal.
So next to Haas's, the door is Haas's big window.
How big is that window?
Probably six by six.
Probably.
Yeah.
So, you know, Haas, avid moonshine collector, has all his moonshines up against that window.
Right.
Right.
First shot I take, I blast it.
Bow does the old Ole, hits the glass, knocks off the top.
top, I hit it so hard that it hit the glass and it knocks off the two top moonshine
canisters.
All you see is, you see the top two slowly go down and you see him explode on his computer.
Now, so I know the code to get back there because I'm a part-time equipment manager.
Fair.
Right.
Right.
I found out.
Let's get that.
Side note, I found out the code there for that one time told Joey I found out.
Two days later, they changed it.
Yep.
You never tell them.
Right.
Okay.
So I've been mistaken for an equipment manager multiple times.
So, of course, the door is locked, right?
Do you not think this story is playing?
I'm listening.
It's a great story.
The door's locked.
So I was going ahead.
They silence it.
Okay, the door's locked.
I go to punching the code.
What do they do?
They changed it.
Oh, my.
So now there's still 45 minutes left to practice,
and you look through the window, and there's just moonshine all over the computer keyboard,
dripping down onto the carpet.
Is it clear moonshine or dark moonshine?
It's clear.
Not as a lot of sugar in that.
that one.
Yeah, but still,
Haas was very into all the different.
I think I knocked over the peach cobbler and the blueberry, whatever.
So finally,
practice is over with.
I'm like,
Haas,
I knocked over your moonshine.
He,
of course,
you know,
Haaskskson to,
I was scared of you.
I thought this,
like I was going to have to say by to a lot.
When you start hearing everybody coming in the building,
you're like,
all right,
here we go.
Yeah,
this is it.
So.
We shot like power walking once you see Haas.
Hey,
Ha,
Ha,
so we're going to be for a second.
He goes into his office.
It reeks,
Because it had been 45 minutes.
It reeks of moonshine.
Who's the next person that comes into his office five minutes later if that happened?
John Robinson.
No way.
What, Haas, what on earth are you going?
Like, what are you doing?
Were you drinking during Pratt?
Like, totally went off on him.
Oh, my God.
No way.
Yeah.
And I had to explain, look, this is what happened.
So you had to step in the conversation?
I had to step in the conversation.
I was like, look.
If you didn't like Haas, you could have easily just put the reverse button on and just turn around.
Haas, actually, Brett has to
Haasus was Haas pissed off.
You know, Haas can't get rolling, dude.
If Haas, if you sneeze in Haas's direction, he's mad for three days.
His voice is so funny.
What's up bad, boss?
So they spent, you know, they had to call on the cleaning crew.
They had to get out of the carpet.
They had to get him a new keyboard.
Moonshines down in a different spot.
But, I mean, I mean.
What did John say to you once you were like, hey, it was me?
We were playing soccer during practice in the,
locker.
Yeah.
And I decided it was a good idea to blast the soccer ball at my friend, knowing that
I'm a professional person that kicks things for a living.
Yeah.
I haven't made great decisions in that locker room.
I've put a dent in the door playing golf.
You know, I just, you know, how many ceiling tiles I've knocked out.
I'm not that I fee myself.
Who hasn't?
Well, they should do a better job.
They should do something about that.
Yeah.
I put, I put a dent in the door.
Those doors had to get replaced.
Shout out Haas, man.
Yeah.
Hoss definitely does not listen to this podcast.
He's not a shout out.
Probably not.
He's not even a tier three guy.
But I bet we clip this story and it might be passed around and Hoss might see it like
going on on social media or something.
I mean, I literally felt when that was going down and I saw how upset people were.
My heart was pounding because I'm like, this could be it.
Not based on my performance on the field of why I get cut, but because I made a bad decision
of blasting the soccer ball to glass window and knocking up a moonshirt.
Did you actually think you'd get cut for that?
When you've been cut before, you feel like you can get cut for anything.
I'll tell you, I don't want to feel that pain.
Is that true? Is that true?
Do you feel like if you've been cut before?
Yeah.
It's not like, you're just nervous.
You can just be nervous all the time, unless you feel good at a spot.
Because mine came out of left field.
Like mine, I was actually, I felt like I was playing well.
We were 6 and 0.
We were off to a great start.
And then all of a sudden, my playbook's not at my locker.
And I'm like, oh, they just forgot the punter's playbook.
And then a guy comes over from the equipment manager.
And he's like, hey, here's your trash bag.
Like, for what?
Like, oh, so-and-so's and came and got you?
Oh, shoot.
No way.
Yeah.
And the general manager didn't even know I got cut.
I'm walking out with a trash bag because I pretty much tried to take everything I possibly could.
Right.
Everything.
And I was walking out and was like, where are you going?
I just got cut because McDaniels had roster control.
When I get cut from the Titans, there's two things I'm taking.
You're going to retire a Titan.
Well, honestly, after the whole Jarrell Casey thing, dude, I feel like no one's.
That scares you a little bit.
It scares you.
That rattled the boy a little bit.
I'll be honest.
Hey, we're rooting for you right now.
It's the business.
You're retiring a Titan.
It's the business and it's scary.
It really, it always puts things into perspective.
It does.
But when I get cut from the Titans.
I don't think he'll ever actually get cut.
If you did, it would be like,
it would be so understood that it could be like a financial move
that you won't legitimately like, hey, you didn't make the team.
Whatever happens, it'll be personal for me.
For sure.
There's no doubt.
Whatever the time.
If the Tigers, do you ever cut me?
I promise that.
Anybody listening?
If you think, I wonder what's going through Taylor's head right now.
Angry, dude.
I will take it so personal.
I will tell.
I probably never come back to Nashville.
And I love Nashville.
I'm building a house here.
Hashtag no bad days.
Zero.
Zero.
But if they ever do cut me, I'm taking two things.
Looks like it's time for another ad from Buston with the boys.
Listen, here's the deal.
this one hits a little close to home for me.
Because Georgia boot,
not only looks phenomenal
and looks great whether I'm working hard
or I'm partying with the boys,
your boy can't even walk right now.
I'm staring at my grimy-ass toes
looking like a weird fish, dude.
I got like, I got still got black and blue toes
from the season. I haven't healed up. Nothing, dude.
But Georgia boot, listen to the most comfortable
boot there is, all right? They've been working hard
for 80 years, all right? That's older than me.
by like a lot.
All right.
So that's a bit of a deal.
George's been working,
they work as hard as you do.
That's why you can know and respect them.
They got everything you need.
They got every single kind of shoe you need.
All right,
whether you need a waterproof boot,
steel toe, softo, square toe,
a met guard, non-puncture shank,
non-slip sole, they've got it.
All right, and those are just a couple off the top.
A couple little pieces that fluttered in my head.
They've got all of those things.
But you can wear them.
You can go to a job site,
do whatever you're doing,
wear those things.
crush it, and then hey, guess what?
The boys are going on up.
We're trying to pick up a couple honeys.
You might have to change your pants.
You might have to change your shirt,
but you damn sure don't have to change your boots.
And that is what we're doing for you at Bustin with the boys.
All right, simple.
Head over, pull your phone out, whatever you got to do.
Georgia boot.com.
Use the code Bussin for 20% off.
B-U-S-S-I-N.
All right.
Georgia, like the state, please God know how to spell that.
If not, do the thing in the text or you say it out loud.
Boot, B-O-O-T,
don't know why I didn't spell out Georgia,
but I spelled out boot.com.
Georgia boot.com.
All right, use bussing, 20% off.
All those little things I fillet at you real quick,
all those things are on the menu.
And you can get them all, dude, for 20% off.
Oh, that's a fifth.
And that's a little bit of math for you boys right there.
Enjoy the rest of the show,
you beautiful little beautiful motherfuckers.
There is a football card in my locker the day I got to the Titans
and I have kept that card stuck up.
Forget what the guy's name was,
but he has a phenomenal cul-de-sac bolting spot and a great mustache.
It's unbelievable.
And I'm taking my beaver.
Those are the only two things I'll take.
For sure.
Everything else?
Pickles on a sandwich, dude.
Take him a little.
Yeah.
Well, everything in your locker, you'll get it.
Nope.
You'll have to worry.
I'll leave it.
Oh, you're just.
saying, hey, I only want the card.
I'll take the card.
I'll go to my car and I'll pluck it off because I tape it up,
retape every year, and I'll go get my beaver.
And I was going to say that, yeah,
and I'm walking out.
That's it.
That's it.
You think I'm just going to go?
You know me for as long as you have?
If it was silent, Taylor walked through, he'd probably come back.
Oh, you guys are just going to let me leave.
Yeah.
Dude, I would lose my mind.
I almost say, almost.
I just saved it, dude.
$600.
sorry Bryce not today um do you remember when that guy got cut we have to end this podcast
so I really I really yeah you have to leave but um don't say you remember thing what are you about
to tell another story well there's this guy who got cut we just said we do you remember when
some kid got cut from the titans and he went and pissed in the sauna rocks yes and for like
months it pissed it smelled like piss like hot piss dude what the yeah almost said it that's that's
that's the kind of scene I'm making that's that you go piss in the sauna no I wouldn't I
do something worse. What if it's the off season?
If it's the off season? So you've got to be
careful though because if it's off season, they're going to block out your code
real quick, but you know how to get in. I'll let you in.
There we go. You'll be
an actual equipment guy at that time by that time.
Probably. It'll be awesome. All right, podcast is over. I have to leave.

behind the biggest roadblocks we face.
I was six years into my career,
the 80-hour weeks and just the first one in,
the last one out, and I ended up burning out.
There was a large chunk of my 20s
that I was just so wanting to be out of that phase
out of my skin and I just like really regret
not living in the present more.
You don't need to have everything figured out right now.
You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.
