Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.

We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from. some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.

Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.

Couple of good old boys that decided to take care of a dream and follow our passions and end up in the NFL. Meet in 2018. And now we have a beautiful bus that we do a podcast.

Love the holidays. And if you do us a favor and just please. please for the love of God, press that subscribe button. It doesn't hurt you and it helps us all the more. Now, what a weekend. Obviously, we had Trump on for everybody who's unfamiliar with our show. In the beginning, we do an intro where we recap the weekends. The boys, we were just at Ohio State at Oregon.

We got to celebrate with Coach Lennon. We will get into that stuff. We do our segments. We recap the NFL weekend. And then we drop our latest interview, which is, I mean, Donald Trump, the biggest interview we've we've ever done in our lives we've ever had by far and and you know one of the most polarizing individuals in the world right now it is um a long time coming obviously we want to give a big shout out to dana white for making this whole entire thing happen a thousand percent

being able to the boy dana being able to meet uh mr trump at the ufc fights shake his hand talk to him a little bit a lot of people are going to be stoked about this interview and a lot of people are not going to be stoked about this interview here's what i'll say to that we had the opportunity to sit down with a former president who was a leader of the free world and i think that is really cool and if you have a problem with that then that's that's super unfortunate um also want to give a shout to alex uh dana's right-hand man good guy follow really was like all about the brand and the boys he's a good hang when we're at trump tower in chicago the dude's an awesome guy right follows the barso universe a little bit yep we had a good time with him um look here's what i'll say here's what i'll say

about this entire thing. We created this show to answer the question, how do we bring the locker room to life through our content and personalities? When we started this thing, what, four or five years ago? When we started this podcast, it was just a couple of boys playing in the NFL. We own all of our stuff.

We were in the middle of a gravel parking lot operating off of a generator and a cell phone hotspot. In the middle of July, in the middle of 100 degree heat, all trying to basically, like, build a real brand, use our network. We're messaging athletes or messaging entertainers. We're trying to tap into our network to build something that's real,

create a community, and lean on something when we're done transitioning in the NFL. And like you said, there will be people who love this interview. There will be people who question why we did this interview. And we are aware that there will be some that are disappointed, right? Yes. And ultimately,

we know that there's going to be, a reaction both good and bad. And ultimately, it goes to we were talking about, hey, is this a path we go down? You know, I'm talking to my wife. She's a small business owner. Shout up, Bar 3, Nashville. But you're in the situation of like, hey, do you go here? Do you go there?

We can say we're not political. We can say we're not a political podcast. At the end of the day, we have to accept the fact that we set out with a political figure. We do accept that. And ultimately, man, it's like you're not. going to make everybody happy. We're fired up to do this interview. I think you guys are going to enjoy it. And again, we get to kind of embrace our style. And I think a lot of people when they come to our show, they know we have fun. They know we can laugh at ourselves. They know we like

to thrust ourselves in the middle of topics of conversation going on in the world and the country. And the chances that we've been taking since 2019 have gotten us to this opportunity to sit down with arguably the biggest name, if not the biggest name, in the world right? now and that's something it's like there's going to be a lot of new audience that are that are coming that don't necessarily know what we're about and I would assume that there's going to be a lot of football fans a lot of family people a lot of proud father shout out the girl dad's out there a young audience that's going to be like oh what's bust with the boys you want to add it to your repertoire your repitua your repitual network because every Tuesday we are here at 6 a.m.

releasing busing with the boys where we recap the weekends we recap football if we are now in the football season as two ex-N-N-FL players, 18 years three pro-boles amongst the both of us. We recap the weekend and then we dish out our latest interview. On Thursdays, we have a new show we released this year called The Locker Room, where it's all sports talk, all ball talk, where we preview the weekend, college and NFL. We talk sports, gambling, sports betting. So if you are a new audience member tuning into this, I would encourage you to hit the subscribe button, leave comments throughout the episode, and that's all I have to say about that.

Hey, well said. Thank you. You had a great job painting a picture. I've been thinking about this a lot. You know what I mean? Like we, again, we had the opportunity to sit down and you know the world we've kind of thrust ourselves into whether we want to be in it or not. Right.

It is again, it's like we were talking kind of like pinching ourselves like, bro, four or five years ago. And we're just trying to make this thing happen. Just trying to figure out literally sitting on this bus and thinking ourselves, it wouldn't be sick if we got a sponsor. Right. And we're like, you know, this is actually an actual business when nobody. Yeah, could we actually make money on this thing and do this thing for living when we're doing. No active athlete is doing a podcast right now.

Let's jump in and just see what this whole thing is. Yeah. I mean, look at us. Just a couple of idiots. Just sitting on this empty bus in the beginning talking about how we wipe our ass. Front wipe or back wipe. That was a big conversation. That was a big topic.

If you're a standard. Yeah. So, yeah. And I also think that there's, there used to be a world where people would have their differences of their opinions. and it'd be like, all right, let's have a conversation about it. Let's do it. If you guys want to have that feeling of you oppose this podcast, feel free to say in the comments.

Feel free to also keep your mind open to everything that's happening because we've reached out to people that would have Kamala on our podcast. We're waiting to hear back from them. But this is not like a, we're essentially drawing a line in the sand and just being like, that's that. This is what we're doing. So I just hope that people listen, really enjoy it, and just have fun with it.

Because at the end of day, I think we're lacking a lot of that right. now is enjoying in this in this podcast a lot of good humor in this podcast a lot of good humor yes i wiggled in the brask into the interview so you'll love that absolutely had to um but now that we've addressed the trump thing and i hope you guys love it i hope you guys really enjoy it this weekend going to eugene oregon to watch the ducks take on the buck guys was a classic fucking game this game was amazing now the boys in the back and wilkton himself during the spring They went to Eugene, Oregon, and I was somewhere else for a little bit of time.

Something. Doing something. We were doing something out there. We're up to something out there. I come back. I say, how was it? Literally, all of you guys were like, Eugene is incredible. It's an amazing place.

The vibes are awesome. Dan Laning, this guy is great. Was it, who, who's the receiver? Taz Johnson. Dillon Gabriel. All of these got incredible, like literally seeing the praises of the Oregon Duck. players, coaches, and fan base. So I was very, very excited to go down to Eugene.

Now, the fact of you had a great analogy when we were at the airport, too. Yeah. He's like, you guys essentially like, hey, let us hold the ox, show you this new song. And he was like, it exceeded our expectation of it. It really did. Because you also brought up a good point in the airport. It's Sunday right now. We actually just landed.

Yeah, we just landed traveling. Literally, you got a 30 minutes ago. Four and a half hour flight to Portland, drive two hours down to you. Eugene. It's a trip. Which brings me to what I was going to say is, it's amazing that they get these four and five star athletes and get that type of speed, that type of talent in such a small town area in the Pacific Northwest. Yeah. A place that you literally, it's like so hard to get to. Now, campus is beautiful.

Shout out Animal House. I had no idea that Oregon or Animal House, the movie was filmed at that university. So you got to see the administrative building, got to see those immaculate trees, myself, G, JP for a moment. And then Wilcompton jumped in. We got to essentially take our shoes off in the middle of campus. Feed squirrels, hide in bushes, touch different trees. And you probably think these guys were high. Oh, we touched some trees.

Oh, these cats were super high. Maybe on life. Because we were not high at that moment later in the day. Later in the day, maybe. but not in that entire moment. Shut up, the place is gorgeous. The trees are massive.

Yeah. The campus is beautiful and the people. You would have thought that Wilcompton and I went to school there. That's how much they fucked with Boston with the boys. And also it's like the one moment we got to have with Coach Laining

where we stormed the field, he's shaking Coach Day's hand and we happen to be right there in the mix. That one moment you got to have with Coach Laining probably said everything you needed to know about the guy. Right. Because you guys, yeah, I've never truly spoken to Dan before. Now, you did shoot me his contact information.

I do appreciate him, I'm saying the text message today. But him turning around, seeing Will, glancing at me, and then just start screaming for the boys, for the boys, rough housed us a little bit. Grab me, there's a photo.

Former linebacker. He's a former linebacker. Got me, got the jersey cranked. That thing he was holding. that thing like fucking crazy. The dude has got the fucking juice. Now, now the second hug is wild. I was trying to enjoy the moment too much.

Yeah, like, no, no, you put your arms around me. Yeah, yeah. We got to before the game, and we're kind of jumping all over the place, but we got to before the game, go and listen to Dan Landings pregame speech. I don't know. Do we want to give it away the thing? Run it. Right now, run this speech.

We'll come back to it. Right now run this speech. Great. Now, dude. Keystone Predator. Keystone. It was it was Keystone species. Keystone species.

They disrespect us. They disrespect. We're in the Big Ten now. Well, let me tell you fellows, the Keystone species just showed up. I'm talking about juice. Dog. Went up the spine. Literally just sitting in the back.

And you just hear guys in the back. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Dude, just. And then Ohio State's wearing all white. As I walk out of the locker room, dudes are like, if you see white, put your fucking hands on it. Put your hand on some grown ass men.

I'm thinking, bro, it got, it took you back. It took you back. It really fucking did. Well, you're like, yo, you know what I'm saying? That's why you play the game. It's like you get back in the, the excitement, the fear, the anxiety, the doubt, but also you're not believing your doubt. You're just trying to hype the boys like we're about to go into fucking war.

You felt all of that before the game. You felt the environment, the stage. I mean, Ohio State at Oregon, the student section, the whole student section was packed two hours before kickoff, bro. I'm talking a committed-ass student section. One of a half state fan walks down and they fucking booed his ass out of that little area. Dude, it was, it was incredible. It was fucking incredible.

And how many, how many times is the score, like how many times? Seven times, seven times. It was wild. Absolutely wild. And, dude, that stadium, only 60,000. I think they had a world, their record, their record. The Eugene World Record breaking attendance of 60, like something thousand people. Like 60, like 300.

And that place was fucking rocking. It was rocking, bro. We got to go to game day in the morning. That was all time. People camping out there overnight. Like, it was sick. Now, I will say when the sun goes down and the moon comes up, it is a little bit of Walking Deadesque.

You got some, you got some zombies walking out there. The crazies come out. The unique crew out there comes out. It gets one block outside of the pocket of Oregon football. It gets spooky. I mean, I saw, I was telling the boys, like, we went to this sushi spot. She had a pure sushi.

But it ran straight through me. I had the shit. Thank God for the subway. Cat, he was a bus with the boys' listener. He let me back in the bathroom. I take a shit. And I'm in a bad spot because I look up. There's no toilet paper.

So I like stand up to myself and like waddle over to the paper towel machine and just start and I'm just raw dogging. Yeah. Raw dogging the asshole. But I leave. I get outside of subway because, you know, we're trying to make a little dairy queen stop. The boys are parked down the road and I see some cat walk by me. And this was like a little psycho motherfucker.

He had on like a fully blacked out mask. Like you couldn't see his eyes. You couldn't see anything on him. And he like said something to me, kind of offhanded, said something to me. You know, your boy was up in the clouds at that point. So I didn't really know what was going on. But I thought to myself, I feel like I'm in a little bit of danger.

Yeah. I mean, you're going to solo too because we're the car. I know that's what I'm saying. We're the car waiting to you. And I had, when he said it to me, I was on the phone with you speaker. So I'm thinking to myself if something happens here, I can just start like yelling. You know what I'm like screaming.

Yeah, yeah. Damn. Hey, we got somebody. That would be. Because it was. It was a little... Wild. All of us in the car you just here, we'll go, help.

We didn't get a car and run. Bro. That is wild. Yeah, yeah. Eugene is the tale of two stories there. When it comes to daytime, like daytime, beautiful, people are wonderful. Everyone's having a good time. Everyone just seems like the shoulders are a little less tense.

Nighttime falls. It's a little bit. Spooktober. It was Spooktober. It was 31 days of Friday. But yeah, the game itself, ma'am, was awesome. I mean, Ohio State goes down and scores right away. And you even see like the off the bus thing, we were watching both teams warm up.

Oregon's offensive line, they're not big cats. They're a little shorter. They don't compare to like Ohio State. Yeah, and then you see Ohio State. And it's like these dudes might be outmatched from like a bigger standpoint. Because they drove it down that first drive. And then I want to say they forced them to punt when Oregon came out for their first driving, I was kind of like, damn, are the boys going to be able?

Yeah, you get kind of nervous. Yeah, there's a lot of talent deficit here, but obviously. They found number 10. Yeah. They found, yeah, they found number 10. The cornerback for Ohio State number 10. Oh, my God, he was getting cooked. He was getting cooked.

He was one of the best corners in the country. No, he's not. We found out. Yeah, I mean, they went after him, bro. Number seven, Stuart. Yeah, he was. Tess Johnson. I mean, it was, it was wild.

I felt bad for him. I mean, Dylan Gabriel was on bombs over bag. that there for a minute. Yeah. It was wild. That was a Dylan Gabriel legacy game too. It really was. Shout out the boy Dylan Gabriel.

And the thing that was scary is in the first half, Ohio State did a great job of running the ball, controlling the clock, getting four yards in a cloud of dust, making a 10-yard pass, really just bouncing their way down. And it seemed to have to go back and watch a film, but it seemed to me that Oregon's Bay of success were these X plays, these 20-plus yard plays that you can't, like, that's not a life you can live throughout 60 minutes of football, at least we thought, because that ended up working out for them. But you go into that second half

and you're like, is this when the Big Ten kind of takes over from a physicality standpoint? I'll run you down standpoint. All that. A couple of miscues by Oregon too. Going for two.

Listen, I love creativity and play calling. Something about just having your center and then everybody over there, everybody goes on the far hash. Just swinging gate. Something about that to me, man. That's like you do that once a year,

a year. Maybe every other year. I'm pretty sure they do. it twice in this game and I was I mean I'm just you know I love the X's and O's of the game I love watching I like seeing the game in the strategic standpoint from each team and I thought when the first one didn't work it's like let's never go back to yeah well a lot of it too like you know offensively like you might just start in that position just see if they match up correctly right and then you bring it all back in because I thought early in the game they had a lot of success running the ball

they had it they had a success getting those three four yards and so you know you get in that two yard line two and a half yard line whatever it is for a two point. conversion it's like you can make that happen now the kicker for organ early in the game botches a kick to where they could have gone up they had a bad hold for on a p a t and then later than when they could it should have been like going up 10 7 they missed they missed the they missed the three from from a decent distance now they go back after there's there's a penalty they got in force for that kickoff yeah when he shot it off buddy's chest right dude that kick the confidence of that kicker to hammer fuck a ball into somebody's chest and had that thing

bounced back where the boys get it like that is that's like winning the lottery yeah there's no way and jp said it dude on the field he's like could you imagine being the player that the ball hit him in the chest like he has got to be on suey watch just feeling like that that was number 10 he had a tary way jersey on for number 48 that was number 10 no it was in the same corner you even made the joke he was like oh they might need to do that for number 10 like number 10 is now number 51 but I that was him you're lying are you are you being serious

it looks just like him that's the corner yeah that's like another jersey so that you have the same number of that that is that's like it reminds me of like the replacements where he's like looking around wait wait is it the replacements the water boy what

there's my yeah yeah water boy where he's looking around figuring out who he's gonna try to kick it off of and this dude's like standing there all nervous and scared he's like there's my best bitch. Can you tell me that kid's name? I think it's Denzel Burke.

Denzel Burke, number 10 for Ohio State. I think so. Denzel, if you happen to come across this video, this podcast. Yeah. Obviously, I hate Ohio State. But, brother, there is no worse feeling than being, like, being in that position of being vulnerable and just a snowball effect. Yeah.

Just keep- Nobody's coming to save you. Keep swinging through it, brother. Sometimes you get in those slumps, man. You can, everybody can make it out. So I hope you do. you don't the third week of the of November and also in two weeks against Nebraska. But I hope,

just for your mentals, my boy, we've all fucking been there. Yeah, we've all. Tell them about the Ezekielia breaking you off twice. No, no, I don't want to relive that.

It's going to make him feel better. I don't want to relive that. I miss two tackles in a row on Ezekiela. It was one of those ones where I'm laying on the turf like God fucking help me. Yeah. Everyone's watching this right now. Right. This is the worst.

Thanksgiving. It's probably the lowest, yeah, lowest part of my playing career. People just trying to eat their food and enjoy a game. Yeah. Thanksgiving. giving everybody's watching i'm missing zeke he's doing the feed me keep feed me right please god for the love

of god stop feeding him yeah yeah i think he's full i think that man is full and for me janler jones september 2021 arizona cardinals versus the titans first play of the game run an outside zone to my side what happens quick inside move for a tfl i'm gonna let you know brother it got way worse after that okay my wife told me to my face it's the worst football game i've ever seen anybody play in my life yeah So listen. That was like, holy shit, what a bad game by you.

How terrible. Buda Baker put me on my ass. If you guys don't know who that is, it's a safety, bro. A safety. That's how you know you just officially have a yips. Yeah, like turning your hips.

Just you don't need to show me. You don't need to pull up all the things. Let me just explain to the people what happened. Just keep your head up. It sucks, all right? Get back in the fight. You see it off of the tackles legs like that? Vulnerable.

Hey, that is a vulnerable position to be. And make sure to put these references in there too, so that way, if he isn't watching. All right, cool. That is, please stop. Hey, stop zooming in on my little legs. Hey, those cleats go hard, though. Fun fact about those cleats, those are the same cleats I tore my ACL in.

And I kept those cleats. And the day before, I was like, these are the cleats I'm going to have for redemption. I burned those cleats after that game. Those cleats are the conjuring of all cleats. They have a demon inside of them. but it was an incredible game man and then storming the oh god

damn it's what peppered me out here I'm getting pepper face down for the love of God it's open season on the lawn right now we got I'm assuming this is our most

viewed podcast of all time and you gotta go and put this shit up here you gotta go and put all that but overall incredible I told him to pull that up but you have to explain the lore

I feel like if you don't know the body you got to explain the lore what I have to explain yeah the lore of what Go ahead, go ahead. Of you guys. What's the lore? What does lore mean?

Explain it, Jack. Go ahead. Yeah, lore's like backstory. It's just like what's created you guys and, you know. Yes. Yeah, our failure. Failure. Fier makes the man.

Yeah. That's where I'm getting that. It's always you versus yesterday. Yeah. Shout out Marcus Mariotto. Yes, dude, I will bring that up. JP just said in the back. He didn't have a microphone on.

He said bring that up. So obviously we're in Eugene. Marcus Mariotto. top two if not number one quarterback I've ever blocked for in my entire life I hit the boy up I say hey man we're in Eugene it's beautiful I give him the whole immaculate tree thing this place is special I do believe that Eugene is a special place he's like hey I'm fired up and make sure you go this place or that but I fucking love those trees dude you saw when we're driving into something I got a tree like that yeah it's all right gee so marcus hits me up before on game day and he goes hey uh

get with Kenny before the game he has a gift for for you. And I'm thinking it's going to be, I don't know, I have no idea what it's going to be. It's like a gift. I'm pretty stoked on it. So I hit up Kenny and I'm like, hey, we'll be at the game. We'll be in the locker room. Hopefully I can meet you. And so we're on the sideline watching the boys warm up. And I've never met Kenny before. He walks up and he gives me a game worn with the pack 12 symbol on it, number eight blacked out Marcus Marriota Jersey. And in the collar of the jersey, it says you versus yesterday. No, yeah. That's legendary. And that is one of the best gifts I've ever been given.

And Marcus, you need to go back and visit Oregon more. Yes, you need to go back and visit Oregon more, bro. You got to show love to the fans because they are obsessed with you. Marcus, they love you so much.

They, I had bunches of people come up to me and just be like, thank you for protecting Marcus. Thank you for doing that thing with Richard Sherman after he hit Marcus. It was truly like...

Yeah, the Arrow story was coming back a lot. Yeah, a lot. That's Josh Norman. But, yeah, people were Truly and Eugene, you would have thought, like, I played there or something. And some of these people coming up and being like, that's how much they love you, Marcus. Yeah, the love was awesome, too, for busing and everything else. Rennie, shout out Rennies.

We did a meet and greet there. It was packed. Obviously, as they say, there's only like a few bars there. That was one of them. But it was packed, wrapped around the block. Oregon fans, Ohio State fans, everybody embracing the boys. Like, that was a great time. It was a great time.

It was a special, special time. A plus visit. Where would you rank it this year on stops? I think that's number one this year. A&M, Nebraska, Michigan, and Oregon. Yeah, I would say that's number one. The only thing that would have a jump on it would be the Nebraska Michigan one, but Michigan lost.

But separate them. You have separate them, which games? Oh, games, yeah. That's the number one. I think it's not close. If you're just strictly talking about the game. There was a ton of back-of-forth. There was a ton of back-and-forth on Twitter over the weekend

that Oregon was ranked in the top of the game. top five for loudest stadiums in college football would you all rank it in the top five was it i don't think so i mean that that atmosphere was was really damn good yeah yeah that atmosphere is really dang good especially because they can only get like 60 000 in there but it is loud like it was a loud place like that atmosphere was all time architecturally too that stadium is one of the coolest stadiums ever seen yeah for sure because somebody after the game shroom came up and was like hey how would you what you think loudness to nebraska i was like nebraska he's like yeah i was like come on man. It's a little bit different.

But I will say you guys had an incredible. Yeah, that's awesome. That's happened in the Titans game before too, though, so. It was loud. No, it was very loud. It was very loud. Legit. Like, that was an awesome atmosphere. Nebraska's louder. Penn State's louder. LSU. See, I haven't been to the Penn State, but people talk about the Whiteout. People say that that's like,

because there's a gal we were sitting up there in the press box with. Yeah, because she went to the Nebraska-Colado game. And she was like, She was like, yo, maybe the loud. She's like, the only edge I would give is probably Penn State because she's been there so many more times. And then I haven't been to kneeling, but you guys say it's one of the loudest. And then the South Carolina Tennessee game when they had that big upset, that was a lot or two. So there's five off the bat right there. Nealing gets insanely loud.

That was one place where I'm standing there. And it's like, okay, this one I would give over Nebraska for sure. Also, A&M was loud. And M was loud, but it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be, I guess. Right? Like maybe it was the expectation of my head. Like maybe I had lower ones for Oregon and since it out did it, I'm excited about it. But A&M I felt like it wasn't what I remembered when I played there in like 2009 or 2010 or something like that.

To me there's no there's no bite to A&M. It's like they're cheering because they love Texas A&M University. Yeah. Not because they love Texas A&M football. Right. So there's not there's no like nastiness. Yeah, it's a good point. To like the stadium.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. Speaking of nastiness. nicest fans aside from probably Nebraska

we've ever dealt with like yeah they they were awesome welcome to Oregon how's your time in Oregon when we storm that field dudes are just grabbed me by the chest going they welcome to you Jay

yeah yeah yeah fired up to be this storm was awesome there was one fan there was one fan that wasn't super nice to you the duck no the Ohio State guy

oh hey Taylor 1 he goes yep fuck you you fucking suck you suck All right. Really, I ride out at the stadium.

Taylor, yeah? You suck. All right. Just kept it moving, man. Gotta love it. Gotta love it. Is this Ohio State thing and getting booed? Yeah, it was awesome.

It was awesome. Just sending him, like, he was in the middle of the entire student section. Just like, get him out of here. Very impressed with the student section. Impress the student section. Right. And it was awesome too because, like, for us, we obviously have to plan out like, okay, are we going to go to college game day?

hey we might have to come back by the hotel like it could take this long it could take that long because usually there's a lot of traffic again once you get outside like one block of the pocket of organ football like we're sitting down and eating breakfast was not a lot of traffic we're eating at pure sushi we just walked up we didn't have reservation or nothing the night before on a Friday night before the biggest game they've ever hosted and we're getting seated right away like there's like no traffic you get to kind of just go around wherever you want to yeah in a minutes notice it was I mean it was an awesome it was an awesome weekend that was awesome What about beauty of campus? How do we feel about that? Or we rank that. It's kind of, yeah. Oh, we're at 30 minutes? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Besides beauty of campus, Garrett, JP, your guys' teams duped it out. South Carolina. Brutal loss for the game cocks. Just awful. Fieldville kicker misses a kick toward the end. Yeah. Bam almost gets beat again.

Yeah, I mean, there's not. nothing like Sunday watching the AP top 25 poll come out seeing Alabama number seven LSU number eight and knowing that we were controlling our own destiny in those games until the last one play away from beating both of those teams yeah and it's just a familiar feeling we're close you got to give Beamer time you got you got to go back look at spurious records when he came to South Carolina Spurrier is one of the greatest coaches of all time their records are very similar like at this point in their coaching career

and South Carolina is a it's a hard place to win at so it's going to take more time than Jim Harbaugh going back to Michigan even though it took them a while to get to the National Championship so I mean it sucks you all saw me on Saturday for a little while

it's just pain man it's stuff you feel like you don't deserve yeah you were down too I was like fuck I we might have lost JP for the entire day then we got around the Oregon Cruff He's going to bounce back. No problem. Yeah. I'll tell you what college football is going.

The playoff is set up beautifully, bro. Like Texas has obviously handled business, but now obviously before the season, you look at Oklahoma and Michigan as games for them that they'll be tested, not saying that they weren't tested. But, you know, they've handled their schedule, how they've handled it. They're number one. They're kind of like the only team where it's like, all right, when are they going to get a game where it's like,

are they for real like they're showing to be right now? Because everybody else has beat each other. They look beatable. Like Oregon's obviously. undefeated, but that game was legitimately a two versus three team. Like Ohio State is still a really good football team, but the college football playoff is shaping up to be one of the best. I mean, Iowa State's in the top 10.

No shot of. Navy Army are in the top 25. Crazy. Texas, Georgia. Yeah, massive game. Texas, Georgia. We will be at Alabama, Tennessee. Where are we going to be at noon?

The Hill. We're going to be at the Hill at noon this weekend in Knoxville, Tennessee. So the boys will be there, be present for the Bama Tennessee game. But yeah, big games this weekend, especially with Texas, Georgia. But again, college football landscape is amazing right now. To all the Tennessee fans listening, you got to show these guys love because we just came off a hot trip at Oregon where people were absurdly nice. So if you're listening, call the boys out, say what's up.

Will and Taylor would happily talk for hours on end with you guys. We got to show it. And then me and Garrett head to head, we got to figure out something for this game. too. I don't know. And the curse is over, but we'll Titans lost, Titans lost like an hour ago, but yeah, Titans lost an hour ago. Yeah, it's over.

A curse I think is still kind of up in the air. I'm, I'm, I'm not where you want to be going to Alabama. I mean, you're still going to go down the hole. I, I kind of put it on the line. I said we could do whatever, whether it was the shaved head of the shaved mustache and Garrett can't test, I was freaking out during the Oregon game because Tennessee was

playing the same time. Tennessee played a horrible game versus Florida. Nico does not look like the guy right now. He looks like an inexperienced freshman, which he kind of is. But I don't know. Both Bama and Tennessee look beatable in very similar aspects

of their game. And it's going to be fun, but yeah, someone's going to go home. How are you guys going to handle this with your relationship? I mean, we've handled it for the last six years, seven years, eight years. What's the worst that's ever gone?

I don't think it's really ever gotten bad. Because Alabama, up until two years ago had beat us 16 years in a row so I didn't know what winning was there was never a year that I won until two years ago and Garrett was such a gracious loser he was like this you finally are getting to experience a win and he didn't do it in like uh I'm being a dick way he was just like this is cool and yeah it happened to be one of the best college football games the last decade maybe ever but I'm hoping that this week shapes out has a fun one feel good about it go

It's Sunday. You'll probably be shooting an intro tomorrow with Delaney, correct? Yeah, probably, because I haven't gotten to consume all the NFL football that I've wanted to today. I've been trying to keep up on scores and stuff like that because I know people enjoy us breaking down the NFL. So, yeah, I'll probably be shooting another segment with Delaney. And then I will be in Arizona. Your boy will be doing some personal stuff. Yeah.

Handling that. We've talked about that for a while. I told the boys before the fall this was going to come up. So I will not be in this next segment with Delaney and I will also not be in the locker room this week still both incredible shows, wish I could be there. And unfortunately,

I will not be in Knoxville. Yeah. This weekend. So we'll get to this next segment with Delaney where we recap NFL. If you're watching right now, make sure you're commenting, subscribe.

See you after this ad. Read, Big Hugs, tiny kisses. All right, we are back. We were talking ball real quick. Hang on. Let me lock in with a Lucy. All right, if you were here for the Trump interview, go ahead check the chapters whether you're on audio video with YouTube or rumble the boys in the

back do phenomenal job if you're here for the Trump interview you can skip ahead you can find those chapters jump to it I got the boy Delaney Walker in the building we're going to be talking NFL ball talk we're going to recap the weekend because there's a lot of drama going on in the NFL world uh Delaney how many years you played 14 years man 14 years so we got what 22 years of experience right now breaking this down three total pro bowls amongst each other indeed with the combination yeah what do you want to start man I a part of of me since I had you on or since I have you on you got to uh you got to intern for the charges in the off season you had that little scare where a hard ball goes to the blue tent for the for the

heart arrhythmia am i getting that right yeah i think that's i think that's how you said you think there's any you think there's anything like going on with uh with jim has he had this before i think he had it before um not exactly sure what year he had it but i know he i think he have an in regular heartbeat situation going on. And when I saw that, you know, that it kind of hit me a little hard because knowing that Jim Harbaugh, that's my guy. Yeah. Tough to see him going to tent, knowing what kind of guy he is, very tough guy, very

emotional guy that wants to be out there on the field and to see him leave in the first quarter. Yeah. Did that ever happen when you were on the Niners with him? No, that never happened with him. You know, I never seen it happen. I never heard him talk about his heart issue or, um, but, um, you know, um, I never seen. Never seen it.

So I think this was the first time I've seen him actually have to leave the game for a situation like that, especially being in Denver. It could have been tough with the altitude. Yeah, that's true. And just he's the most football guy, I think, in the world. So, like, stress, I'm sure causes a factor. The dude is all ball 24-7. But hopefully, I think he's going to be straight. But yeah, that was wild to see.

Because they also took, like, you thought it was a pretty high. situation because they took his brother John off the podium. Yeah, that's what got me. When I seen his brother just take off and leave, I'm like, is it something serious? I started looking to see what was going on with him just to, you know, to make sure he was okay. Yeah. But charges got a big win against Denver. Denver's three game win streak ends. Uh, dude, the Dallas Cowboys seem to be an absolute hell. I want to say this loss against the Lions is the worst loss of the Jerry Jones era. Isn't that right at home like the worst loss at home in the jerry jones era man they got they got a lot of problems i think they're in they're kind of cuffed right now because they got the they obviously

paid deck you got a couple guys on our with like demarcis lawrence and uh who is it Phillips right Phillips i forget his first name but philips is on iR micah you know he he's not healthy no he's not healthy right now and just feels like they have a lot of problems man like part of me feels like Jerry Jones has to give up the reins as being GM. It's a young man's game. I think you've got to let somebody else call the shots and try to make a move. Try to make moves going into the offices because I feel like they need a lot of pieces, man. I feel like they could be set up.

They're in a position where they could be, they could have a lot of problems like in the future. And in Dallas, like they're, you know, Dallas Cowboys, they're always in the mix. But I feel like they've always been helped out do their schedule and due to like an uneasier NFC East than years past. True. And that's not the situation right now, but it does feel like, hey, Jerry, look, time comes for all of us. Indeed. Time comes for all of us.

It's coming for him. Yeah. It's coming for him too. Like maybe past a clipboard to somebody else. But would you want to be a GM for the Dallas Cowboys knowing that Jerry got to have his hand in every piece of the pie? That's a good question. That's true because you know even if somebody does come in, it'll probably just be like a puppet.

It'll probably just be a face of the GM, but they're going to be controlled by Jerry. the whole time the whole time that's a good question i feel like if you're if you're a dallas fan like you know the season's pretty much over over i mean the lions look fucking incredible man they lost a big piece with uh aden hutchison that was a brutal brutal brutal like it just whipped around and hit old buddy's leg and just snapped bro i know it was crazy if you haven't seen it be careful watching it is it's a wild injury and i hate that for aiding because he's like a young a young up-and-coming player who's a who's building in the stardom right now. Yes.

But I hate that he is down because he did you guys have the same? Because Delaney, you broke your leg in Miami. Yep. Kind of shattered it. Is it the same? Is it the same type of injury that Aiden guy? Similar type, but his was a little worse. Honestly, I couldn't even watch it.

I still haven't watched it. And every time I see it on my Twitter feed or my ex feed or Instagram, I just scroll right past it because I. Bro, it snaps so easily. Yeah, everybody. Like you're like popping a finger or something. He gets thrown and kind of gets whipped around his leg, just hits old buddy shit and just snaps, bro. Yeah, so his was worse because he, I think he snapped it from, what is it, the fibula?

Fibula, what is it? Fibula? Yeah, I think he snapped it from here. I dislocated it from my ankle. So he just like a couple of inches up higher where he snapped it in half. Just shattered it. Just shattered it. Hopefully it was just like a clean break and not a lot of, not a lot of debris in there.

Because if it's debris, they got to go and find every piece and then put it together. Because almost like Alex Smith. I know that's the, I didn't want to bring that one. Alex Smith injuries. I think theirs were similar. He had to, he underwent surgery right away after the game. And the recovery time is six to eight months because they had to put a metal rod in his leg. I think, like you were saying, that's kind of along the same lines of what Alex Smith had to do.

But hopefully he doesn't have, because I want to say Alex has got, uh. His was compound. So I think it got. Right, but it also got infected. Yeah. Yeah, that's what that's what I'm saying. Because he broke through the skin. Yeah.

Yeah. Because you can, now, correct me if I'm wrong, I could be talking out of my ass. Again, dumb football player. But a compound, a compound is ultimately what you'd rather have, right? Compound comes out of the skin. No, you don't, because that's what they had to make sure for me. Exactly. Thank God I said that, dumb math.

Yeah. I could be talking about out of my ass. I was thinking compound's just like a clean break. I mean, it's certainly a clean break. But it rips through the skin. You don't want a compound because that, it is literally the bone comes out. And you can see the bone. You don't want that.

Like when I had mines, that's what they kept saying. We have to make sure it's not a compound fracture because I had tape around it. Yeah. So, yeah, they gave me morphine and then got it open. Yeah. An interesting take I heard earlier this morning was if you're the Lions, you're in a position where obviously you have an incredible football team top to bottom. Like they can beat you any which way.

They have good defense. Do you make a run at somebody out there in the market and do a big trade? say a Max Crosby and bring him in because obviously the situation with the Raiders is there a sinking ship right now. Sinking. You got Max, you got Devante. Like that whole place is like, you know, there's drama surrounding the Raiders. But knowing how great of a leader, how great of a glue guy, team guy, and elite pass rusher,

Max Crosby is, do you make it run at moving him and trying to go all in with your chips if you're in Detroit and trying to bring somebody like Max over to fill the void of like an Aden Hutchinson? I mean, the best scenario, definitely. You definitely go ahead and try to make that trade. But will the Raiders make that trade? Would a guy like him? He's the staple.

He's the piece to that team. Even though we're starting to see him crumble a little bit, which is out of his character. But I understand you frustrated. The season is long. Stuff is not going your way. You know, you lose the games. You think that shove was like a real shove or you think?

Because Max came out and said, you all are reaching. I don't know. I really, the coach said, like he said, what the fuck. I thought the culture is like, what the fuck? Yeah, that's a piss off, Max. It's very frustrated with how things are going, because obviously he is the culture of that.

He is. He is the culture. But, I mean, if they can make that move and the Raiders want to look to better their future and say, look, let's get rid of some of our assets that we have right now, that's an asset. You probably move and you get a lot of picks for, you know, because he is a dominant player.

And he goes into, if he goes to the lions, Oh my God. Yeah, you could be going after a ring. You definitely going for a ring. What happens with Aiden then? He comes back and you got two. Now you got two on each side. I think they already have somebody on the other side.

It ain't. It ain't. That's what I'm saying. We're not hating on whoever on that other side, but those two on the same team once he get healthy. You think Aiden would feel some type of way? No. He's young.

I think Aiden's such like a leader-style team-guy culture. Like he knows who he is. He knows what he brings to the table. Yeah, definitely. Like I think you do a move like that. You know you're all in on winning the Super Bowl this year. All in. Because Detroit has the pieces absolutely everywhere.

The staff, the players, the roster, offense, defense, everything, bro. They got absolutely everything. What did you make of the Titans? Yeah, man, I was there. It was tough. What happened? I know that we were traveling back during that game, but what happened? Because people were talking about Will Levis, but also like Sherman was watching the game

and he felt like there were a couple bad pass interference calls that should have went to Titans way that didn't get called. Definitely. I mean, you got the one on D-Hop at the end of the game where, I mean, he clearly hooks his arm, rapes him right before the ball comes. And then no flag. I mean, no flag at all. And I'm sitting there thinking that flag about to come out, but they don't get the

black. Some people can say it was it un-catchable because it was kind of high, but at the end of the day, I just felt like we can't leave the game in the ref's hands. And too many times the Titans is trying to leave the game in the ref's hands. Do they need to play better? Of course. Did Will Levis play his worst game? Definitely not. I thought a lot of times, and I'm not, you know, hating no one on that team or none of the receivers. Sometimes if that ball touches your hands, you need to catch it. I mean, that's what you're getting paid for. Your job is to make the quarterback look good.

And sometimes they're not making him look good. And the run game was working. We just cannot pass the ball. You was having a good game. Having a good game. And we could not pass the ball. Getting a little bit better. Getting better.

Making progress. Making progress. I mean, but the Colts are struggling team too. You have Flocko Joe Klemmer there and he made some plays. And we got to him a few. times but he just made more plays than we did and their defense got more turnovers than we did and obviously it showed at the end of the game was there one thing that was sticking out more like from a concept perspective with the titans like was it a bad decision was it turnovers was it

the lack of defense when you needed it what was standing out uh and a lot of them to come out of there with the win again like i said did not make throws we needed to get us down the field to put us in field goal position at the end of the game. Then that punt, should we have punted or should we have went for it, it was fourth and seven. And I think, you know, Cahlehend thought the defense was going to get the ball back for us and we would have more time. What's the defense playing well at this point?

The defense was playing pretty well. They was playing pretty well, you know, but again, we needed more turnovers. They got that interception at the end of the, around the end of the game that gave them the ball back that kind of hurt us. And if we would have got a turnover and put us in a better situation, we probably could have kicked that field goal and went into overtime. That was what I was thinking. But again, you know, I'm not out there.

I'm not, you know, you don't know what's going on in A-Minds, but I just felt like we didn't play our best football at the end of the day. Jack, you got something? Oh, you're taking the spookiness, the spookiness down? There were also, there were two PIs in the first half that were crazy to me. And correct me if I'm wrong, if the defensive back is playing the ball and makes contact with the wide receiver who is actively making a play for the ball, he can play through him, correct? Yeah, I think so as long as you get your eyes back and you're going for the ball. Now, again, I wasn't watching this game, so I don't know exactly what you're referring to, but you're saying the Titans were on defense.

There was a huge interception. No, we had an interception, but they tried to say that he legally touched him at 10 yards, and then we intercepted it, but they gave them, they literally said legal touching, gave them the first down, gave them the ball back. So the coach got saved twice pretty much, twice. No, I agree, you know what I mean? But again, the reps are sending a letter on Tuesday saying, oh, these were bad calls. It's already too late.

The game is over. So, you know, we can sit here and argue about those penalties all day. Don't leave it in the refs hand. That's where I come again. Do not leave it in the refs hands. And you can see the Titans after the game in their interviews, they were frustrated. I mean, frustrate. Oh, my God.

And that right there, now that got to get you going. If that ain't starting to fire under you, I don't know what will. You just, you're not, because the talk is, well, they even win six games this year. That's the talk. Right. They are behind the eight ball. They are behind the eight ball. Speaking of interceptions,

Baker Mayfield throws three interceptions. And they still put up over 50 points on the Saints. I feel like the Saints are a team that could be going down. Spencer did look. I mean, it was his rookie debut, but I did see him slinging it a little bit. But, you know, the Bucks being able to score over 50. With three interceptions.

It's crazy. It's crazy. Because the Saints say they pride themselves on defense. Obviously, they have the type of roster that has leadership, the culture, and everything else. Like they've had some quality wins this year. Spencer, he was doing really well in preseason. And then, again, from the few drives I saw he was on the ball around pretty well.

He was. But again, like not a whole lot of heightened expectation for the rookie QB to start because that's, you know, statistically, I don't know where the bucks rank. I know they're kind of like in the middle of the pack. They can stop the run. They've had some new guys and their secondary and everything else. But this is a defense that you kind of knew they were going to come after, Spencer, kind of try to confuse them a little bit, show them multiple fronts, show them everything else.

And it did. It looked like the Bucks had a hell of a game, even with throwing three interceptions. Yeah, I feel like the Bucks did their job. Spencer, he only made one crucial mistake and that was pretty much at the end of the game. I think it was, well, no, it was second half, right? where you do that interception. Yeah, because they were up 27, 24 going into halftime. And with the start, like, they gave them 14 points.

Bucks drove down the first drive, scored. Then they have a fumble recovery for touchdowns in the Saints' first year. So you kind of spot them 14 points. You go up 27, 24 at halftime. You're thinking, okay, Saints got a little life. Like, they're coming. I thought that too. I saw it.

I looked up at, I'm like, oh, wow, the Saints came back. I'm like, oh, young buck out here doing this thing. So I was watching a little bit. But again, like you said, just bringing that pressure on them, mixing things up and the coverage. Right. It helps. Figuring out the Saints' rhythm a little bit because, again, you're not going to have an entire playbook opened up when you're a rookie QB starting. Yep. But that was one.

Then you go over to, A, the Battle of the Beltway, Washington commanders, Baltimore Ravens. Hey, even though the commander's lost, I think there's a lot of, there's still a lot of positive to take away from a game like that. obviously it was like Washington plus six and a half they lost by seven so if you're a gambler out there that like that sucks yeah i had i had them plus i know you did but watching a little bit of that game it's like you know you're kind of curious are they're going to be able to run the football against the baltimore ravens they got the best run defense in the league they shut them down defensively in the run game and made jaden try to beat you through the air i thought jaden like jaden his potential, his ceiling, him tapping into it this young,

I feel like he is going to be a great quarterback for a long fucking time, bro. But I feel like there's a lot of positives to take away from that game because Baltimore's come. They're humming right now. Yeah, they're humming. D. Henny, two touchdowns. And I'll be the first to say like, yeah, I felt like he was losing a step. He's getting age and everything else.

But if there is somebody that works their tail off in the off season, that'll ruin that is like a Derek Henry. He's somebody that kind of like defies the odds of somebody who's getting older. a big running back, but he's showing that, like, he's not slowing down. And they're kind of firing on all cylinders right now. I mean, Lamar, like, if you're watching, they have a, they had a beaten down defense. They're not the best statistically on defense. But they're stacking the box going single high all game.

They're hugging. They're green dog. And so for those that are unfamiliar with what a green dog is or hugging, when your coverage blocks, like the Ravens were doing a lot of two main routes. When your guys, when the titan stays in blocks, if you're a linebacker and you're man-to-man, the minute you see in block, you're adding on into the rush. So they're trying to get to him and stack in the box, trying to stop the run game. And Lamar, like, they were just taking advantage offensively. Guys are getting open.

Lamar's dropping dimes. Like, they're firing right now. And he, Lamar didn't take shots, but kind of took shots low key. He was like, I can see what all the hype is over there with the commanders, but he came up short. I was like, yo. I mean, you kind of got Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson 2.0, right? Like, you've got a quarterback who can run, quarterback who could spin it just like Lamar. And that was like a, that was like an exciting matchup you want to see, like, what quarterback's going to come out of top. Especially when it's in a close game like that. And I do.

I feel like the commanders, they have a good football team, bro. And obviously the Ravens, like they're going to be, they're going to be contenders. The NFC is looking nice. Like the Packers put an ass beating on the corners. Oh, my God. What the head coach's name? Seriani. You got Siriani talking shit to the Eagles fan base,

and they just beat up, beating down, a beating down Browns team, which has no like. A clip just came out like 20 minutes ago, and it was a local Philly guy calling a radio show, calling for Sirion to be fired, which is one hilarious post-win calling for the fire. And he's wanting Jason Kelsey to take his job as head coach. Wow. Hey, that was wild, though, him talking shit, be like, I can't hear you, blah, blah, blah. He's, like, taunting the fan base. It's like, bro, you just escaped.

Yeah, you just escaped from the Browns. And head he played by him bringing a son up for the post game presser. You can't get a little too. You can't go at him after that. He can't go at him. He brought a little bulletproof vest with him. Yeah, yeah, he did. I mean, the Browns, bro, they just seemed like I was hearing Jeff D. Lowe break it down.

And it is. It's like I have zero interest in watching the Browns. Like, it's not like they have enough drama to where it kind of fuels a soap opera to where you're laughing and everything else. Like, they just suck. They're a boring team. They don't play hard. They're hanging their hat on Deshaun Watson.

Like, okay, he had a decent second half. Like, this team is in shambles. And again, I think it's hilarious that Sireani is just sitting there talking shit, just escaping a Browns. Yeah. I think he brings life. I mean, that dude's work ethic is very similar like at Derek Kendra. You see him in the offseason putting like over 600 pounds on his back.

Like, everybody talks about how true of a pro he is. And you saw a couple weeks ago when he was. when he was just back at individual or back on the field, like everybody's hype around him. I do think he brings a little bit of excitement and juice, but right now their old line isn't playing that well. Like last year, years past, you had a good old line, but they have a couple guys on IR,

but you had a quality of line. You had a quality offensive line coach with Bill Callahan, who's now with the Titans. Like, I just don't think they have the old line that they've had in the past to where Nick Chub might do what Nick Chub does, but I do think he'll bring a little bit of spark. It just kind of depends on how the Browns are going to, you know take care of business how that culture is how that locker room is right now and i feel like

everything we've seen you kind of just see like a dying again a dying browns team like we do pretty much every year um who else who else who what what other headlines we got out there you see how boring the sunday night football game was last night i watched a little bit but after all the travel your boy was just mouth open fell asleep on the couch it was just it around me of like uh 20 20 20 like COVID Thursday night football games. Just horrible. Yeah, yeah. And the Bengals are just, I don't know what to think of them.

Obviously, they got the win, but they barely got by a really bad giant team. And I don't understand how Daniel Jones still has a job. Still. What is he like one in 14 on primetime games? I think it was one in 12 on primetime games. Now one in 13. Gosh. At home.

Yo. Well, the positive view, if you're the Bengals, is that obviously you got a win but yeah to your point i don't know it's against the giants like i know i'm trying to just find some type of optimism some type of positivity i mean what what's the bagels record right now two and four with wins over who the giants and the panther oh come on yeah and that was i believe that was uh bryce young panthers yeah not andy doll not andy dog okay yeah So it really took one, one and a half and four. Yeah, gosh.

It's crazy. The good thing, though, is you got two games coming up against the Eagles and the Raiders. Where, again, the spot that the Eagles are in right now, it's going to be real interesting to see how they do on the back half of their stages because last year they really fell apart. And I feel like they don't have, they're not firing in a way to where they're able to hang their hat on something right now. No. So if you're the Bengals, you got a couple games before you play the Ravens. I think on Thursday night football to get a couple wins

and start to make it a little interesting you'd be sitting there four and four playing a divisional game on prime time against a team that's like the Ravens right now so if you're going to have some type of spark it's going to be now it's going to be the next couple weeks.

It's got to be. Have you noticed this trend though all these quarterbacks that got paid? Look how bad they're playing. Yeah, but on... Burroughs is playing good. Oh no, Burroughs not playing that bad. He's playing great.

He's not playing bad. I mean, again, I didn't see the sat line last night. I'm kind of hanging. I'm kind of commenting on the last week where he had like five touchdowns. Going into last week, he was tied for the NFL and touchdown passes. And I think like QBR or completion percentage. I mean, he's still got it. What's crazy is that, I mean, that old lion is not doing a great job protecting him.

You see the Lions, the Lions, like one of those cats. I forget his last name. But he had like two sacks in one drive. They were getting back to him. Yeah. I mean, all together, you got a lot. to put these pieces together. I mean, Lamar's playing great.

He's somebody who got paid. Well, about two years ago, though. No, wasn't that last year? The whole tag, like, that was like two off seasons ago. But I want to say he got paid. But, I mean, to your point, you got Daniel Jones, you got Deshaun Watson, you got Dak Prescott. Trevor Lawrence.

Trevor Lawrence, yeah. Which, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I mean, Jacksonville over in London. They are now beaten. Badly by the mayor. Badly. Bears should be excited.

Hey, Kayla's playing well. The offense is running. They're putting up points. Like, yeah, their schedule has not been tough at all. I think every team that they beat has like a one, only one win to their name. Yeah, yeah. But still, you get it. Yeah, but still, like the NFL, it's tough to win in this league.

Like, no matter what's going on, it is hard to get wins in this league. And for the Bears to put up, I think, 30 plus in the last two weeks. Like, there's excitement to have. They're starting to get it. They're really starting to get it. I mean, keep it up. see what you're doing. Keep it up.

Yeah. Should we get to these? Okay. Should we get to our spooky question this week, brought to us by the back of the bus? And then we can follow that up with Tear Talk. I'm a big fan of the fall accessories because obviously we're in the middle of spooktobre right now. I hope you're embracing the spook.

I hope you're buying our merch. Watching something of watching something festive every day, getting yourself an ice, your boy now from Aethon Roast. No free shot. It's a eighth and roast, but an iced pumpkin pie latte. So I hope you're embracing. the festivities this season. Yeah, we do what?

Stim. Yeah, you got the stumes. We got our boy in the back shirm. He's got the taco costume on right now. Yeah, there's. He was supposed to be with the, you got children. But he got the children's costumes. You know, we're, what is our, what's our spooky question?

Sorry. Come on, Mitch. I mean, I got to fix my story. Red Ranger. Our spooky question this week, if you could replace an actor in any role in any movie, who would it be and what movie? Can we put ourselves in that role? Oh, you're trying to, you're trying to get your name out there?

I'm just saying, I'll know. That, that is the question. Oh, that's the question. Oh, she. You're trying to be on what, the Green Mile? God damn. Shot fire. Hey, I actually got a few.

Go ahead. Go on your first one. Brad Pitt was very close to playing Jason Bourne over Matt Damon. I want to say he passed on that role. Maybe a hot take. I think Brad Pitt would have crushed, crushed a Jason Bourne role. You think so? You know, JP, that's fighting words.

Those are fighting words. I was glad he wasn't on the bus. I love that take because I'm a John Wick over Jason Bourne guy. So anything to trash his credibility, I'm with it. Matt Damon, obviously crush it. I'm just saying Brad Pitt, a little bit of humor in there. I don't think it's a humor. I don't think it's a humor.

I don't think it's a humor. Oh, though. But they never are until they throw some jabs in there. Jason Statham would get in that. Yeah, Jason Statham over Matt Damon. I don't think that's even... Not even a conversation. Yeah.

Like, that is all of Jason Statham's movies is that stuff. Yeah, like I see what you mean, but I don't think you're throwing them in there over Matt Damon. I could see a Brad Pitt in there over Matt Damon. Another one, this could be... This is a spicy fucking take, and this is just a hindsight take. but Gerard Butler over Russell Crow

as Gladiator I mean they like the same fucking character I know yeah yeah I'm with you I'm with you because obviously he had his shine on 300

but I think seeing that movie 300 he would have made and I watched the Gladiator after 300 for the first time so I was kind of sitting there when I did watch Gladiator Russell Crow did kill it but I'm sitting there I'm like

man Gerard Butler would have murdered this movie of course but they like the same same kind of characters. Yeah, I'm with you. I think, I'm just saying if Gerard Butler could have played the Gladiator role over the 300 role, I think that would have. Oh, I'll give you.

Yeah. Yeah. He would have been perfect. Is he not in the new gladiator? Orillius. Is he not in the new gladiator? Gerard Butler? Yeah.

No, I don't think so. I don't think so. Oh. What role would you put yourself in, Will? What do you think you could play? What role could I play? Yeah, because you gave me. us all these scenarios but they want to know what role who would you switch for you to play that

role you know maybe i'm a little high on myself but i think a chris pratt in Jurassic park i think i can see you playing that because it's possibly i would have to really dial in my diet but maybe a thor maybe a thor and maybe you know what maybe yeah maybe uh maybe Deadpool throw me in there i love Ryan Reynolds i can get you that you yeah you can get you yeah you You can do those. I don't know about Thor. He's a goddess. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, yeah, Chris Hemsworth, he is. He is Thor. Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool. Another one I want out of there. I want absolutely thrown in the trash and redone as the flash. I think Ezra, he is abysmal as the flash. Give me somebody like a, yeah, scumbag. Give me somebody like a Dylan O'Brien from Maze Runner.

Oh, okay. I can see him knocking that one out of the park. Wasn't a different flash before this guy became flash? DC Universe has fucked it all up. And I'm sure that there was somebody before him. But give me, yeah, Dylan O'Brien. Hey, Dylan O'Brien looks fast. Yeah, he can play.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then also, you know, give me a Charlie Hunnam as Christian Gray and 50 Shades of Grey. Wow. Hey, legit. Yeah, he can, but he can, I don't. Yeah, he can play that psycho-ass role. Just a sexual role. For me, I'm gonna go Kurt Cobain and Batman versus Joker.

I want to be the Joker, bro. You're trying to be the Joker? Oh, yeah. Keith Ledger? I mean, I said, Kirk Cobain. Keith Ledger. So you're trying to take out Heath Ledger and throw in Delaney Wall. Oh, yeah.

I would have crushed that role. Fucking crushed it. Give me something. Give me, you know how I got these scars? You know, I got these scars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's put a smile on that face. Hey, you know who else did a good Joker was Diddy.

Ha ha, this motherfucker. Jesus Christ. Hey, this dude is sending me Diddy fucking picks. All Jack, man. sitting me ditty picks like a motherfucker Hey see

I mean I can play that role Not ditty Hey all right Not ditty But back Back to the scene Let's put a smile

On that face Let's put a smile On that face Hey Hey I can play that role Bro Give me your best Joker laugh

Hey that wasn't bad That wasn't bad Hey I'm telling you bro I'll give me that one I'll crush that If I

give me some time I can watch all the jokers and put them all in one I'll crush that The last were you hanging your hat, huh? Oh yeah. You knew you had that laugh. I knew I had to laugh.

You could work on the list, put a smile on that face, but you can work on all of that, yeah, because it's just one liners with the joker. So you just get those one liners down, you're perfect, you know what I'm saying? And a lot of those facial expressions,

the licking the lips. The licking the lips. Did he walker? Did he walker? No, this fool, he been sending me, he been, he even yo he sent me

with me in my pads bro oh son son I'm like yo are you lucky I'll not do this shit

Jack I'm gonna be fucking putting faces on you dude that dude crushed me he ain't gonna cap he killed me

the football one you gotta see the football one is fucking crazy bro I ain't even on cap. You got it coming up, Sherim? Hey, I ain't even on cap.

We need these references. I'm texting to yourself. Yo, I'm not even going to cap. That shit had me dying, bro. Bro, I almost spit all my shit out on somebody on the plane when I saw that job. I mean, he showed me the ditty one over the weekend. I was howling. With that one?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, with the suit on. Yo, the fucking football boy? That one right there, bro. at me. I'm like, what are you doing, bro? What are you doing, son? Diddy Walker? Yeah.

Get a shared album for the Trump podcast, all the photos, and I'm just sent him all these photos. All these photos. It then finally tell me how to ask after he does send me a roll of Diddy fucking cut up. So I'm like, bro. What do we got for your talk? You got fall.

Oh, favorite. Top fall accessories. All right. Let's take a couple minutes. Let's figure out our tier talk for fall accessories. And we'll knock these out. All right, fall accessories. Who wants to kick it off?

You want me to go? Oh, yeah. I'll start with my tier three. And it's going to be having a hot coffee in hand at all times. Having a hot coffee in hand at all times, accessorizing yourself a little bit. I think everywhere you go, you need to have just that cup in your hand. My tier two is going to be beanie's. I love beanie season. I love wearing

growing up, we call them sock caps in southern Missouri. We call them sock caps. Beanies was like the tight one. Sockxed had a little, you know, you had a little bit more fluff up top. My tier one is my favorite, and that's going to be flannels. I love when flannel season hits. I think if you're rocking a beanie, you got a flannel and a hot coffee in hand. I think you were ultimate fall. You were all, you were in ultimate fall form. That will, that's my tear talk. My tier talk. One word.

Remember one word to rate it? We'll go around and get one word to explain my tier talk. I'm going to go with November. Okay. Hipster. Cozy. Warm. I love it.

All right, D, go ahead. Okay, my tier talk, my tier three is going to. want to be oversized hoodies love those can't go wrong with oversized hoodies all right i got you yeah yeah you're just giving me that look right now i'm just letting you know oversized hoodies yeah yeah what is that a smoochy what you call what do you call a snuggie uh my tier two muck boots y'all know what those are no i don't know what muck boots yeah oh that seems like a Delaney Walker move right there. Yes, sir.

With the sweat bands? You'd be killing them with those. You got to rock that on the locker room this week. I'll rock. I was going to rock one of mine's ones. Once he got a little colder, I was going to come through on that Kanye vibe. And then my, what was that, my tier two? Yeah.

My tier one, Ben Davidson, jumpsuits, jackets, sweat, jackets, pants, anything Ben Davidson, can't go wrong with those. Okay. All right. Show you get that jailhouse. My word, respect.

That's what I'm talking about. Comfy. Money. L.O. Bean. You guys got any in the back? Yeah, I can hit one. Go ahead. Hit one, Jack.

I know you're a big fall guy. Yeah, big fall guy. Tier 3 is going to go to sweatshirts, but more importantly, it's not even the sweatshirt. It is being able to layer a light jacket over a sweatshirt. Let's say you're going to like a 3.30 game in Knoxville this weekend. Come to the hill. Meet and greet, for real. If you're in Knoxville, come meet us at the hill.

But when the weather's right enough to have two jackets on, having that light jacket over, you can kind of layer it up, do a little color change up. That's special to me. Two is going to be, man, this one's hard. But I think it's going to be, you don't take it. Your girl does, but when your girl brings a blanket somewhere. Like if you're outside and like, your girl's like, I got a blanket for us. And you're like, shit, I wasn't going to bring it out of the house.

But if you got it, we're going to be comfy. Yeah. And then undeniably, my tier one, I feel like this one's obvious, is going to be beanie. Huge beanie guy. And I'll wear them year round if I could. My roommate literally does. He'll wear them in July, which is absurd. But when you finally get to the weather point where it's a little windy, you get out there,

you get the beanie on, you got the hat hair going on. but doesn't matter, man. It just feels like you're, part of you never kind of like left bed. You're kind of still just snugged up in there. Yeah. Love a beanie. But anything comfortable is really, that's kind of my, my image. You're like the default player for white guys with mustache.

Yeah. Like when that comes around, it's the best. I need to resurface that. I got resurface that photo. There's a lot of variance out there for sure. I'll go first, man. My one word is vibes. Dialed.

Jack. Authentic Tier 3 Vess Any type of vet It could be like a poofy vest It can be a light vest Just anything that exactly like

Jack was saying with the layers Yeah Like layers Boots would be my tier two Any type of baby You're going cowboy boot You're going kind of more The LL Bean style

You get the timber lens out I love boots Tier 1 Long sleeve teas I love a good long sleeve teeze And I'm excited to be living in this part of the country because you can actually do that in fall. Whereas in Texas,

can't really support the long sleeve tea. That was my one word. It was going to be Texas. So I feel like that's a move. You got the long sleep tea. You got the vest over top. Usually the cowboy had to go with it, but that is Texas.

I was going to say Nashvilleian. Nashvilleian. Nashvillean. Nashvillean. What? Am I doing one? Dude, you can do it. word. You don't have dude to your top.

On brand, hyphen. Mm. Mm. Mm. Columbia. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one.

It's either Columbia or Vineyard Vineyard Vine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right, boys.

He's like the last draft it. And they put him in and he just moved the team. Yeah. Really good. He's handling business. You never know, right? Never know. Then you take the best player that anyone's ever seen out of college and he turns out

to be not so good. But no, the St. Louis quarterback, the San Francisco quarterback I found to be very, very interesting, how he's been so good and he was just about the last draft pick. Yeah, I think he was, was he Mr. Irrelevant? Yeah, he was Mr. Irrelevant. Yeah. He's not irrelevant. of it anymore.

Yeah. Have you, if you, if you'd like to, yeah. We're rolling right now. These are nice. Let me,

I haven't seen one of these. Some high quality mics. That's pretty cool. We walked in on the other side. Their production is a little bit different than ours. So we like to keep it tight around here too. That was, you know who that was, right?

Maria. Yeah. Good, good person. Yeah. How, um, first off, boys, let's give a round of applause,

Donald Trump. Taking the time out of his day to come meet with Bustle with the boys. I want to give a quick shout. to Alex as well, setting this whole thing up. Alex, outstanding work. We were talking about Brock Purdy before. Yeah. And Mr. Irrelevant.

Are you aware of what they do for Mr. Irrelevant? No, I know that he was, I think, Mr. But not anymore. He's not irrelevant any longer, but he's just a great quarterback. And it shows he's a little luck in sports. And actually, he wouldn't have played except that everybody got hurt in front of him. Yeah. And then they put him in and he moved the ball, right? And that was the end of that.

That's happened before. It happened with Tom Brady. Don't they throw a parade? Yeah, so with Mr. Irrelevant, when you get picked, they put like one number 264 out there or whatever. And then after OTAs, which is organized team activities, they fly you out to San Diego and they have a parade for Mr. Irrelevant. Oh, that's so great. Yeah. So that's a fun time.

He's done a great job though. Yeah, he's been outstanding. Yeah. And they're leading now, right? Yeah, 13. Yeah. As you guys are watching it, it's 13.0 Thursday night football. I have the under.

It's looking healthy. It's in the second quarter. That's great. Yeah. So are you on live? now in addition to everything else because you know congratulations you show my son is saying dad you got to do those guys those guys are great you know i have a son who's six nine oh for real how tall are you six seven he's got me got me by a couple he's got i saw the little look too like he's got

he's like everybody i say how tall are you i'm just curious now he's uh he's tall and he's a good boy he's a good student very good student well we wouldn't we would not be here today without uh dana white we've established relationship with him we've met you at ufc a couple of times And nobody like him. Yeah, he's incredible. I can't, I just, you always say that everybody's replaceable, right? I don't think anybody could do what he does. He's done that.

And, you know, build billions of dollars of value. Just because there's nobody that can, there's nobody like this guy. He's just a fantastic person. And he's so loyal. And I've known him a long time. I've known him a long time. And he's never changed. He's just an incredible guy.

And he really understands that business. But I think he could probably do something else. Although his enthusiasm is so, I mean, he's going to a fight. It's like the first fight he's ever gone to. He's so enthusiastic. The energy he has is insane. He's just, he's really, and he's called high quality, right? There aren't too many around his high quality.

No doubt he is a high-function individual. And you two have similar traits in the sense that you guys are both willing to stand in the batter box and stand up for what you believe is right at all times. So you guys have had a cool relationship. you had UFC was on essentially a life support right yeah and you were able to open the gates for him he uh they had a hard time and the fatita is a great people they had a hard time at the beginning because nobody would allow it because they thought it was so dangerous and somehow i met dana i don't know he called me and he wanted i have i have a great site i have a site that was

uh fantastic actually and i said let's I didn't know much about it. And I said, let's see what it's all about. And I'm telling you, they were the most brutal fights I've ever seen. I said, you know, they may be right. It might be too dangerous. Yeah. But they were unbelievable fights.

And I stayed right till the end. I thought I'd go in for 15 minutes and watch and just pay my respects. Good luck. Have a good time. Place sold out in two seconds. And I ended up doing, you know, numerous with them. I did like five or six of them. And then they got it going.

and then it became just amazing. And then they got the ESPN deal, which I assume was a great deal. That was a great deal. But the job he does. But at the beginning, I guess they had a hard time getting an arena. Nobody would take it because of the danger fact. And it has to be dangerous.

But interestingly, they've never lost anybody in terms of death. And yet in boxing, you have quite a bit of it. And I asked Dana, why is that? I guess it's a little bit different in that sense. You know, it's not all to the head. But they've never lost anybody. Nobody died in the UFC, which is shocking because when you look at some of it, right? When you look at heads, way more violent.

You'd say they have to, like one a night should, you know, probably will no longer be with us, right? But it's pretty good. But they really, you know, they make it as safe as they can make it. But it is really something, it's great to watch. and we do the walk-on sometimes when we walk into the arena together and it's crazy that place goes those places go crazy

the place does eruft it does it does go absolutely wild it's pretty good it's pretty good now he's a I don't know he's a friend of yours but he's very much into this he's like a young person he's so into this world you know you're into a world that's much different I'm

into the old world of like television etc etc and you get views I looked at your numbers. Congratulations. That's a great success. You've done a fantastic job. We do appreciate it.

But you're like a young person. You know, it's like this is young person's television. But you've been, you've been doing it for a while. Like you've done podcasting, you've done streaming. You had an incredible episode on Andrew Scholl.

Shout out the boy, Andrew. I heard it was good. Tell me about it. It did very well. Yeah. I heard it was really. It's still climbing. It's still climbing.

I think in 12 hours, it was right around a million. That's a lot. Yes. He would, I mean, and it just seemed like you enjoyed yourself on that too. He did. he was very nice. Every one of the guys, you know, they're young guys and they're very different in some

cases. And I said, what about these guys great athletes? They said professional football players at one point and great athletes, which I like. I respect that. I respect great athletes a lot. It's a reason you agree. It's not only the muscle, right? We know that. So congratulations. Thank you. The thing that's so cool about Schultz and these comedians is there are the level of creativity. You obviously did with Theo Vaughn as well. Have you, have you been able to? Well, do you know about Shane Gillis? No. So Shane Gillis, he's probably, I don't know, boys probably the biggest community in the world right now.

Yeah, he's up there. And he does Donald Trump an impersonation. Oh. And he's pretty fantastic at it. Well, does a great job. I've heard great. No, I've heard great. I have heard great.

Why do you go the podcasting route? I feel like it's something you've leaned into again. You've been all the pods and streamers. Sure, it's charted off. And it may be a little bit to do. with all of my sons, you know, they're young, and two or less young, but I have one that's very young. And this is a young world. You're in a young world, right? And I've done a few of them, and they've done well. I did one with Elon, you know, Elon and I did one. They call it, I don't know, they have some

special names, but I did, did you know, I did a one-on-one with Elon Musk. It was on X, right? It was on X. And it was unbelievable, actually. I think he had 715 million people with billions of hits. It was a crazy, it was just a, I don't know if it could be done again. But we did it. It was just him and I talk, and we went for about two and a half hours. And it got, you know, world record stuff. I did one with Tucker.

We did fantastically. We did one, I think he had that night. He had 281 million. We did it the night of a debate. We had a debate, Republican Party debate. and I didn't want to do it. I said, I'm not going to do it. I'm leading these guys by 70 points and 60 points.

Why should I debate? I'm not a stupid person. Why would I debate six or seven guys that aren't stupid? They're not, they're professional politicians for the most part. And why would I stand there and do that if I have a 70 point lead? And so I did something with Tucker that same night. Went against the debate and he had almost 300 million people. Tucker Carlson, good guy.

and so but this is a new world it's it's changing you know yeah it changes very fast it seems like the world of like mainstream media is like slowly kind of going away there's so many different ways to access your information whether it be TikTok or Instagram and now it seems it more than ever X Elon Musk is such a unique relationship that you guys have to me because I think in 2020 he he voted for Biden and now he's really done the 180 and you see a lot of these kind of bigger celebrities, doing a 180 and kind of being more supportive on your end? What is your guys' relationship? We have great support. That's great. I mean, he feels that this is the most important election ever. He thinks the other side is bad, bad people. Probably feels in many ways they're not competent,

but he also feels that, you know, it's for democracy, et cetera, et cetera, and it feels very strong. I mean, I'm not sure. I've heard, and he said, I've heard him before I knew him, he said he voted for Biden. I'm not sure that that's so, you know, I just find it hard to believe in. But he's an incredible guy. He's a brilliant guy. We had something the other night in Butler, Pennsylvania, you probably heard about it. We had 101,000 people show up, and Elon was there, and he got up, and he gave a great speech. And he's got a lot of things gone.

He's got rockets. He's got cars. He's got the whole thing. He's got everything. He's got Starlink, which was very helpful. you know in North Carolina the Biden really I mean Biden in Kamala if you can believe Kamala how about the thing with CBS okay tell me you heard about CBS where they changed your answer and everything did you hear about it is this what she said outside the plane it's the biggest scandal

in broadcast I did I've never heard she did a very bad interview with them it was tape and going live but it was essentially taped like if you tape a show and you put it on that night or the next and she gave some really stupid answers. And what they did is they cut those answers out and they put other answers in. And I think it's really, I think it's a very bad act, probably a criminal act, but it's certainly election interference

and license threatening. You know, they have licenses. And I just think it's one of the worst things I've heard. Think of it. She's on things. It's a news organization. too. And I think 60 Minutes is under the news umbrella. And they do an interview and she gives a bad answer and they give her, they take it out entirely. It's not like they did a little, I mean, they took the whole thing out and they put another answer from another question in there, which didn't make sense either. I mean, that was a lousy answer also. But nobody's ever heard of something like that. That's why I think there's like the positives of you doing more long form stuff. People get to see you in a different light compared to. how everybody clips up, tries to get the clickbait, tries to get the headlining stuff in the

mainstream media. I like doing stuff like this, you know, I like it. I like conversation. I don't seem to get myself in much trouble. When she does it, every time she does it, they say, she's stupid. She's stupid. I mean, this is a, they tried to get away with her not doing it, which is always a bad sign, frankly. And, well, they did it with Biden. They kept them in a basement, but they were able to do that because of COVID. You know, they could say, he wanted to protect and then when I debated him we had a debate that did you watch a debate with Biden we did you think he did well I would I would say the most of the world we do agree he did not do well yeah so anyway so he they forced him out it was like a coup and then this is like Dana would

have a fighter and the fighter's getting you know doing badly and they say let's take him out and put a new one and this never happened before so they got him out and they put them out and they put this one in, and she was number 13 online because she failed already. She had, you know, she tried to get the nomination and she failed. There were 22 people, and she came in last, she never made it to Iowa, and now all of a sudden, this can only happen to me, Phyllis. I have one. I spent $150 million to beat him, and I was leading by a lot. And then they take him out and they get me another one. That's never happened before. It was like a palace coup. and he doesn't like her.

He hates her. I think he hates her as much as he hates her. Yeah. I think Biden hates me. He hates me a lot, but I think he hates her maybe as much or more than he hates me. Is that possible?

I don't know. Hard to believe, right? He can't stand her. Why are they just able to slide in a different candidate? Like usually they're... Well, I don't know. They were politically correct.

They wanted to do it that way. They were afraid not to do it that way. they were catering to maybe something other than competence and maybe they just wanted to do it. They wanted to be politically correct and they did it. And then they said she'd have a six-week honeymoon period, and that's what turned out. I mean, they had a little bit of a honeymoon period. And now she's falling badly because she's been doing interviews. She's falling because she's doing interviews.

And the interviews have not been good. not been good. So we'll see what happens. But we're leading in all of the swing states right now. We're leading pretty good in all of the swing states. So we'll see, I think it's going to be a very successful campaign, I hope. Do you ever get, like, now that it's getting closer, like do you ever get nervous for when the day does come and all the votes start piling in? The pregame jitters. Yeah, like the, you know, you put all the work out there, yeah. For you to walk in the last five minutes. And it's like, we're playing music in the corner. We're a little nervous You've done all your preparation.

You've game planned. You've done the campaigning. And you start to get there. And, you know, the national anthem's going. You start to get a little jitters. In some ways you don't want to think of it, right? Yeah. Yeah.

You know, I just don't, I don't want to really even think about it. I don't, I just do, I go from day to day. I do what I have to do. I work hard. I'm a hard worker. Always been. So I've gone like 36 days in a row with no rest. And I have, what do we have, 23, 24 days left, right?

And I don't intend. to take like a day off or two days off. You're running for the president. This is like you're running for the Super Bowl times 10, right? And you're sort of all by yourself, but you have some good people. You have some very professional people sitting over there. And I just feel a lot of people say,

oh, sir, you should take a couple of days off. I can't take days off. I want to be in Wisconsin or I want to be in Michigan. Today I was in Michigan. I did the Economic Club of Detroit. Detroit Economic Club. And it was great. It had to bring back the automobile business,

which has been stolen from the country. We can do it. We're going to do it easily. We're going to have a lot of automobile business factories open and plants. We're going to open up a lot of them. So I don't know. I find it very interesting, but it's an all-out run. You would say it's an all-out sprint.

And it is. It's an all-out sprint. We're sprinting to the finish line. and we're almost there. But we did great. In 2020, we did great. And it was a bad thing. Look, we had the COVID all over the place.

And even people, officials were afraid to come. They didn't want to catch COVID. You know, the whole thing was crazy. But I think, this time, I think we're actually doing better than we did in 2020. Something we like to ask, like, coaches and players, when they get, like, a second opportunity in their career and their profession, what do you feel like you've learned? How do you feel like you've grown from your first?

term. And also, what are some things that you look back on? Maybe there's situations where you think I could have done a better job with that. I think the biggest thing is I got to know a lot of people. You know, so I was elected. If you look at presidents over the United States, over the history of our country, 92 percent have been politicians and 8 percent have been generals. So I was told, well, you got to be a general or you got to be a politician. You know, it makes sense, I guess. but I said, but I'm not in general, I'm not a politician. So I won, and I went to number one, you know, when I announced, because I was very well known as a business guy, people knew me, I did, I've done a great job in business, did a lot of great

jobs, a lot of great deals, made a lot of money, but I was known as a business guy, and I was known for The Apprentice, you know, I did a show called The Apprentice, which was a very successful show, and I had a lot of bestsellers, some real big number one bestsellers, the art of the deal and others. So I was known, and as soon as I ran, I went to number one in the Republican thing and did that and won. And then I went against a woman known as Crooked Hillary. And she is one crooked. And she is one crooked. But, and, you know, she was a professional, married to a president, popular president, a good president. And then, you know, I ran and the COVID made things tougher because it was much tougher.

But I did phenomenally. Otherwise, I wouldn't have run this time. So I've won three Republican nominations in a row. And now we have this final thing. And I think if it happens, it'll be the biggest victory in the history of the country. You know, I mean, it's a big thing. Because I think the country has to have it. We've gone through four years.

of hardship. And, you know, they were asking me, fellas, what's the biggest problem? I really, you know, they say inflation and they say the economy and all that. I really think that in terms of the voters, inflation's a very big deal. But in terms of the voters, I think the biggest thing is the border in terms of the election. I think it's the most important thing. I think women don't want to have migrant killers running around their backyard, you know. It's pretty simple to me. We interrupt this episode to bring you Fireball. Fireball is the perfect shot for game day, and whether you're buying those sneaky little shooters before going into the stadium

or going big with the fireball cake for your tailgate, whether it's at a pregame shot in the tailgate lot or a celebratory touchdown shot at the bar no matter what. It is guaranteed to ignite your game day. Fireball's iconic, cinnamon flavors, takes fire and go down easy. Make it the ultimate crowd pleaser. That's why it's the number one shot in the U.S. By the way, Oregon understood the assignment.

Fireball brings tailgate. together. We were at Oregon over the weekend and that we were doing socials. We were doing everything. Fireball is here to give you the spark to ignite that rivalry season all season long. Grab your football buddy, buy around and reignite that rivalry flame. Shout out to Fireball back to this episode. Yeah, people obviously want to feel safe in their backyards. You mentioned all the amount of success you've had, whether in real estate, your best-selling books, the apprentice, the show that was top of the charts for a very long time. What was, and there was an interview you did with Oprah, I believe it was, like, whether it was 89 or not, she asked you like, would you ever run for president?

And you said, essentially, no, I wouldn't because it's a mean and nasty world. And I would only do that if it was in extreme circumstances. You know, obviously you ended up running. You've won three Republican nominees. What is, what was a straw that broke the candles back for you to be like, I've really got to put my name in the hat for America? Two things, trade. Because I so, as a businessman, I think I'm a natural. very natural businessman. Like you guys are natural athletes, you're always the best at your sport, and you did well. I mean, in high school,

you guys were dominant, right? And even in college, you were dominant, there was nobody. You can say that. You take a player at your level. In high school, you're in a different level.

You know, you're just much better. You're much, much better. You could run right through that line guys. It wouldn't even, right? All statement. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, I understand. I know how it works.

And then it gets tougher and tougher as you go up, right? Yeah. And all of a sudden, they get bigger and faster and you say this is ultimate equalizer you said let me go back to high school yeah but no you were always dominant in what you did um and i was a good businessman and i'm an athlete too i was always good at sports i was always really good golfer a good baseball player good i love sports i always love sports and it's sort of a microcosm of life okay it's you know the great athletes have something very special and it's true like that in life you know you have people some people win

some people don't win. It's very interesting. But I always looked at sports as a microcosm. And the nice part, it's fast. You know, you win or you lose. Right. With other things like what I do, it takes years to determine is somebody a winner or not.

And it takes a long time with sports. You win the game or you don't. And it's very interesting. But I really have always equated it very much with life. what you do, what you do as an athlete very much. And maybe it's why you show is successful, actually. People see it. And then you have people that like watching athletes on television,

because I do. I do. No doubt about it. You, on Andrew Shorles' podcast, you guys were talking about the art of the weave, weaving in and out of questions and conversations. What was the straw that broke the camels back that got you in the game for politics?

Okay, so you were talking about trade. I think trade and I think the ball. The border. The border was real bad, but nothing like this. The border was, by the way, the border was like 10% of this, nothing like this. There's never been a border. In history, in the history of our country, there's never been a border like this. In trade, because I saw China and I saw other countries just ripping us off so badly. We have these massive deficits. We're not going to have them that long because I'm going to turn it around. We're going to turn it around. They've taken advantage of us. And oftentimes it's our friends that took the big. advantage, which is true in life too. But I would say those two things. I would look at the trade and I'd see these deals. It was so bad. And it actually started a long time ago with Japan. You know, Japan before you guys were born, Japan was brutal to us in trade. And then they had a little explosion and they went away. They had a very, you know, they had a real problem economically and all of a sudden they were gone and then other countries came in but China came in

in a big way and you know to this day and I had them pay billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs they call them tariffs and we did a good job we had the greatest economy in history we had the greatest we had the greatest job numbers in history you know we had the most jobs and whether you were a high school student that didn't graduate no diploma or you went to MIT Harvard, the Wharton School of Finance, Stanford, no matter what school you went to, and no matter what degree you did well, including if you didn't have a degree,

if you were a woman, if you were a man, if you were black or Asian or Hispanic, everybody, every single group was doing better than they had ever done. And so I think we're going to do it again. But I think, again, as I say, I really believe it's going to be the most important election in the history of the country. This will be the most important election because we're a failing nation. We're a nation that's in decline.

It's a very serious decline. And it's got to be fixed. And if it's not fixed, we're not going to have this country any longer. You talked about your love for sports, your love for athletes. And obviously you pride yourself on your golf game. What other sports growing up were you heavily invested into? So I was a very good baseball player, actually, in high school. What position were we playing?

First base. And sometimes catch you, but basically first place. First base, it's good field, a good hitter. And don't forget, it wasn't like your stuff. You know, it was high school. But we played very good teams. We had a lot of good, very good players. And we did well.

I was, you know, it's very interesting. Anything with the ball and it's hand-eye, right? if you told me gymnastics we had a class gym I was the worst I was the worst you know it's funny I had friends that were great and yet if you threw a ball it would hit him in the face you'd say here

they couldn't catch a ball but they could do circles no it's the craziest thing do you understand this? Is it a wildhouse some athletes are so great at one thing but you tell them to do something different and it just well I see it even in golf I'll play with somebody that's a star athlete

like great even some of them with a ball eye hand type coordination and they won't be good golfers at all and they never will be that's us yeah i'll tell you see my practice swing though you're like man this this guy can maybe really hit it to imitate and that thing is see you have a good practice swing i know and every golfer ever golf with is always like listen man you get better clubs you get longer clubs you'll be just fine and it's like no it's not you know you can't go more than an inch. Oh, really?

Yeah. Yeah. If you go more than an inch, you're very tall. But if you go more than an inch, it's too tough to control. Believe it or not, you can go an inch, but you don't want to go much more than that. It's interesting. But do you hit a long ball? Well, if I hit it right, yeah.

But usually it's just like that's a round ball. You'd be at first base taking me out of a problem. Who's the longer hitter? Honestly, I don't think we play enough to know, but I think I would give it to myself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty good.

You hit at 2.30. Strong 2.30. Will can have golf. I'll take every other sport. Yeah. It's funny, though, but I meet people that are unbelievable athletes, but they can't play golf. I meet baseball players that can hit a hundred mile an hour fastball, but they can't hit a golf ball that's sitting on the grass. All teed up and ready to go. Yeah. Just waiting for him. Being an avid sports fan, you made a run at the Bills in 2014. I did. I did. How close were you to owning the time?

The owner who got it is a very good man. I think he's done a great job. Well, he'd made a great pick. He picked a great quarterback, right, Josh. But, no, I bid a billion dollars, and I put up a letter of credit, and I thought I might get it because it was in Buffalo, which was having some troubles in terms of a place, and he bid a billion four or a billion four-fifty. So it was $400 million more.

I don't think it was a very serious room, but I gave him a guarantee of a billion dollars. So that's always serious. That sounds quite serious to me. And he paid a billion for, and he was in the oil business. And he's got a daughter who's a great tennis player, you know. It's very unusual that that happens. He owns a team, but his daughter's the top three or four or five tennis player.

She went to the finals of the last major, whatever that major was. I want so many major. And he's a very nice guy. I think he's terrific. I think he's done a great job with that team. he drafted a quarterback who was going to be the number one draft pick and then he said things on the internet that weren't good do you understand that and he said and they passed him

I don't know what he got drafted maybe number eight or nine or something yeah I think you might have been eight nine or ten what do you think is do you have a fact checker over there what was we don't deal with what was Josh we kind of just say was he number eight or nine or something like that And seven. Seven? So there are six teams that are saying they fire their scouting system, right? But he's a great, do you rate him as a great quarterback?

Oh, yeah, very good. And he's not a great, he's an exciting quarterback too, but he's a great one. And so he was going to be number one. And then they found things that they didn't like. And people passed on him for that. And then so number seven was the bills. It was pretty sure it's number seven, right? and number seven was the bills and he picked him and he took him around on an apology to her for a day

and he ends up with one of the best quarterbacks which was pretty good yeah you know the funny thing is you never know how a quarterback's going to turn out though because you see people that have a zero chance of failure and they don't do well and then you see like we're talking about with san francisco right yeah was he very good in college was he rock party rock party yes yeah i mean he was good he was a good but Iowa State. Yeah, I think he just had, it was kind of like a Tom Brady situation where he, there was a lot of guys that were, people thought were better than him. And he just like didn't have the arm or didn't have the speed or didn't have the accuracy. It's always, I think when you get into the sport of the NFL and the scouts, they tend to nitpick way too much and they'll talk themselves in or out of anything.

That's when you see like influence from the draft as it goes. Like some guys may be a top 15 pick and all of a sudden two weeks before it's like, this guy might go one overall. and he ends up going one overall. So you just see people talking themselves in and out of things, but obviously the kids got incredible talent. The all-time greater, that was the great Lou Gehrig, right? Was it Wally Pipp? Wally Pipp?

Yep. Came out for just a little bit. Wally Pipp, right? So Wally Pipp, it's a long time ago. It's a long time since I've told this story. But Wally Pipp was a very good first baseman. He batted like 280, great fielder. and one day he wasn't feeling well.

He said, coach, I just don't feel well. I'm not feeling well. I won't be able to make it today, coach. The coach looks over at the bench. He takes an 18-year-old kid who actually came out of college. He went to Columbia. Takes an 18-year-old kid who's sitting there. And he said, Lou, take over first base.

And, okay, coach, he goes out and he got like first game, two home runs, a single and a double or something. The next game, he'd ripped the hell out of it for three or four games. He had like five or six home runs. The coach said, well, I've never seen anything like this. Anyway, Wally gets better. He said, coach, I'm ready. Job wooden there.

He looked at him, he said, I'm sorry, Wally. You know what Wally said? I thought you'd say that. Really? He understood. Yeah. I mean, it was Lou Gehrig. But who knew, right?

But who was Lou Gehrig? It was just a young guy. And if college, I don't think he played in the minor leagues. He came out of college. It was a little different. It was a long time ago. But I always say to people that, like, people that give up their position for a day or two

to somebody else because they have to be at a wedding or they have to be somewhere. I say, remember the story of Wally Pip? Even injury, too. Like a saying is your best ability is availability because you could be injured and then the next time you come back, the guy behind you, LeBonte David takes over in Nebraska. Now the ultimate example of that was, didn't he play like 2,900? He played the most games ever or something.

And, you know, he was, and then he got sick, very sick. You talk about guys obviously, you know, stepping out of the game for a moment and their job being taken. You're talking about this long, this sprint you have to the election. Yeah. How are you finding time to arrest? you can because it seems like, I mean, talking to Dana, he tells me about your schedule how you're, you know, three in the morning you're here and then you're going over here. You're jumping all

over the place. Where do you find time to rest? I really don't find too much time to rest. Look, the way I look at it is that, and you have two opinions of this. Some people, she rests, Kamala rests. In fact, she's almost resting all the time. She does very little. She takes, you know, days off. And I'm not knocking that. You know, that's another. I got to get you eight hours. I'm an eight hours guy myself. I'm not eight hours. I get moody.

I'm less than eight hours. But you can't, you know, you get, what do we have, 23 days? But I've been going for like a lot. You know, I haven't, I don't know what it is, but 30 something days. And I don't intend, I was telling the guys, I said, you guys already because we're going to, this is a sprint. And it's amazing. Because you started off at four years, and then you have to run and you have to go through primaries and stuff,

and you have to get that, and it's a big deal. I've gotten three in a row, right? It's never been done before. You know, three primaries in a row, it's never been done before by anybody but FDR, right, I guess. FDR did the four-time thing, but that was before they had the cap. I get my information off Instagram, but they were saying, like, it takes like $98,000 a year.

Yeah, no. Just to live a, you know, middle-class lifestyle. Do you like Instagram? I do. I enjoy it. Yeah, yeah. I like to scroll, click a couple hearts, put some likes out there and stuff like that. It'll just consume you, though.

There's a lot going on there. Oh, there's a lot. When I first told I was president, and I got to be president, I had a lot. I started with Twitter, and then I sort of liked it. I didn't even do it. I sort of dictated it, you know. And I said to the guy, like, how do you do this?

And he showed me and I sort of liked it. I liked the little whole thing. And I got sort of good at it. And I put it out. And all of a sudden I had like 190 million people. And then on Facebook I did even better. And then I was on Instagram too. And I had hundreds of millions of people.

And Mark Zuckerberg came to the White House, who I like much better now. I actually believe he's staying out of the election, which is, you know, nice. But he called me up after I was shot, and he said, that was so brave, which was nice. I didn't feel it was brave. I felt like, you know, I just wanted to get off the ground. I didn't like it. I knew I was shot in the year.

A lot of the Secret Service didn't think so. They thought I was shot all over because there was blood all over the place. The ear bleeds more. Did you ever get a cut in the ear? It bleeds. It doesn't stop. And I will tell you from personal experience. And I do, actually, I have respect for Elon a lot because Elon, and by the way, he's another one that respects Dana White a lot.

He respects him a lot. But Elon is a different kind of a guy. What he did is he bought something that was run by the radical left lunatics. And he opened it up. He made it for people not necessarily conservative. He opened it up. He made it fair. Because I'll tell you, it wasn't fair.

When we were there, they didn't even want a conservative voice on, I don't know if you guys, how you feel about that. I don't know your politics too well. I feel your sports better than your politics. I feel having the ability to speak how you want is important. Yeah, it's free, you know. And he did that. And it's a, you know, what he did is a great, I don't know how it works out financially for him, but he's rich and he can do what he wants to do. But he opened it up.

And, you know, that's such an important thing that he did. You got to hand it to him. He's really an incredible. He's like this incredible guy. He said today that he's actually campaigning for me in Pennsylvania. We interrupt this episode to bring you our spook-Tober merch the boys.

Would you say that involves the Nebraska Cornhuskers winning a national title? Well, how are they doing so far? Right now, we are sitting with a good record of 5 and 1. We're on a biweek right now.

We're getting well rested. We got Indiana next week. I think we can take care of business there. Good ball club, Indiana, though. That's a good ball club. You know I love Nebraska. Great people. I won the state by, I don't know, like 20 points, a lot.

You had a great football coach for many years who was a silent person. Very unusual, right? You know who I'm talking about? Is that Tom Osborne? Yeah. So Tom Osborne was a great coach. and he was a silent coach. Is he still living?

Yeah. Boy, that guy was a good coach for years. And never, not a rah-rah coach, you know, just a total professional coach. I wonder what it was like in real life because, you know, it seems so unusual, right? Yeah. But they would just be brutal. And they had a good, and then all of a sudden they went back, you know, they just, when he wasn't there, they didn't do so well. But now they've gotten, you know, they've gotten better.

We did a decent run from 08 to 2013, 14. Well, it's always going to be decent, right? Yeah. But because it's sort of a natural. They get the monkey off their back, they finally get into a bowl game possibly right now. When did you guys play in college? 2008 to 2013.

I was at Nebraska. Oh, that's good. I was, 0-9 to 13 at Michigan. Wow. But I was at Michigan in the dark days. What position did you play? Left tackle, offensive line. Wow, that's good.

So how much heavier were you then? I was, I'm about 255 now as 310 then. No kidding. Man, that's, why you decided you ever live? What's that? You decided you wanted to live, right? Yeah, honestly, I didn't know, when you weigh that much,

you don't realize how much you feel it in your knees and your back and everything like that. And then you start to, the weight starts to come off and you're like, I had no idea. You don't see that often where, because I know a lot of linemen. I know a lot of, a lot of players. I know, what position did you play? Linebacker. That's good. But he was good, right?

He was solid? Yeah. I mean, yeah, a classic white linebacker, gritty, hardworking. So you would say that Lawrence was the best? Yeah, especially rushing the passer. On the inside, probably Ray Lewis, Luke Keekly. Yeah, Ray Lewis was good. How do you feel about the new kick?

They had some great ones, right? Yeah, how do you feel about the new kickoff rule? I think it's terrible. Yeah. I think it's terrible. What are they doing? Now, college hasn't done that, right? No, college is still the same.

And do you think they will do it? I hope not. To me, there's something about... I think they'll adapt. I think they'll adapt and follow the NFL. Do you think so? I think so. Do you like it?

They don't do two feet. They don't do two feet on a catch. They have like different sets of rules. They have different overtime rules. They've had that for a long time. I think the one foot is a good idea. I like the one foot. Better stats.

You know what? It's too complicated. The two feet, I mean, if you didn't have a slow motion, you know, replay where you see everything perfectly. I mean, it's amazing. In the old days, they didn't have that guys were, they had two feet out and they were going, it's sort of great to be able to do that. But one foot is so much,

it's so much simpler. Unless you have cameras, in which case it doesn't matter that much. Yeah. I like the one foot much better. Would they have one foot in college, right? Yeah, one foot in college,

two in NFL. The thing that I love about, like the old kickoff rule is like, if you think about every Super Bowl, the slow-mo of them kicking the ball of all the cameras going off and all the players running down feeling. I feel like that's such an iconic move for the NFL.

And now that's dead. Do you, So I haven't been, I've been sort of busy, I haven't been able to watch too much football on all fairness. And if I did, I'd be, you know, there would be a dereliction of duty. Do you understand?

I'm supposed to be running. I can't watch too much football. But I just saw it the other day and I was amazed by it. To me, it's ugly. It's actually ugly. It's not football. Do you like it or do you like it? No.

I like it for the players because ultimately they're not doing a whole lot. But for entertainment and the, The old school style of football. They're saying it's dangerous because the hitting is pretty fierce when you're running that far, right? You're running into it. Right, right. So they're basically lining guys up five yards apart.

Yeah, but somehow it's, you know, it's supposed to be football. And I played football too. I didn't particularly like it. What position were you? No, I didn't like it. I played tight end. Yeah? Can block and catch the whole thing.

You get some hands? We got Delaney Walker behind. I could catch the ball good, but I didn't particularly like having some guy that was lifting weights all day long. came from a bad neighborhood. Yeah. And he sees me, they were tackling hard, you know, and I had a quarterback with that much of an arm

and throat a ball. It wasn't like, but this wasn't high quality football, but I didn't like it too much. I love baseball. You talk about your childhood. We are, this is the shirt I'm wearing right now, this is Spooktober, and it's like, for us, it's like the kickoff to the holiday season,

Halloween, October, all that. And the Trump household as a kid, was your family big, on holidays? Yeah. I was. My father loved, my mother love. They had a great marriage.

They were married for many years. That's where he beat me. He beat me on that. He said, pop, I'm not going to catch you. He beat me on that. I'm not going to catch you. You're not going to win them all. Yeah, great marriage, great wife, great husband.

But, no, it's so funny. I see my guys going crazy over here. So I said to them, listen, I've been doing this stuff since 6.30 in the morning. So we'll do this one quick. I thought I'd be with you guys, but maybe, I said, maybe we'll do it for four or five minutes. And I found this so into, this is great. Well, I've had the time last. This is what they call long form, right?

Yes, absolutely. It's cool. It's better than like, you know, boom, boom, boom. And you go, but no, I thought, right, fellas? I thought I'd be here for just a short while. These guys are great. I could do it for hours. I could do it for hours with them.

It's, you know, a lot of people you meet, even for interviews, and you wouldn't feel this way. You know, you want to sort of get out of there, right? And I wasn't in the mood to do this. I just left the Economic Club of Detroit. I made a two-hour speech. Then I left Maria Bata Roma. She gave me a, what, one hour at least interview. And then I said, okay, is that it for the day?

No, you're going to meet a couple of young, handsome athletes. They said, one of them is six foot seven. And the other one is just a pure, good athlete. Just a pure good athlete. I said, let me. The other one? Let me ask you. I said, let me ask you, is you right away?

We want to do it tomorrow or so. Anyway, no, this was, this was, we had a lot of fun. I had a lot of fun with you guys. Yeah, no, we appreciate it. If I could ask one, if I could ask one more question. Then I will do one more as well and then we'll. Because the country feels very divided right now. Yeah.

I know people are going to watch this episode. There's going to be a lot of people that love it. I know even personally, like I'm going to have people that are going to be disappointed in it, which is unfortunate. This episode? Yeah, I think majority will love this episode. I think so. Vast majority.

They're going to say he's such a nice guy. Yeah. Everyone says, when I do these things, they say, he's so different than I thought. He's such a nice guy. I'm actually not a nice guy, but now I'm actually. I'm actually, I think I am a nice guy, actually. But no, I think they'll think it'll be interesting.

I'll tell you one thing, you know what you're going to do? You're going to get the highest ratings you've ever had. And I don't know why. I have no idea why, but that'll happen. You know, I did Gutfeldt. He's great. He's a great guy. And he got his highest ratings in the history of his show.

And he had the number one show of the week. You're going to get high ratings. And I don't know why. But you'll let me know what your ratings are, right? Absolutely. Do you have a thing? Is it called ratings or is it called hits? Or like it's the same thing.

It's like how many people are watching. Yeah, absolutely. We interrupt this episode to bring you the locker room. Our newest show, this football season. And if you're into the boys and you're into football talk, this is the show for you. We do all of our sports gambling, all of our sports talk to preview the weekend. Our first half of the episode is going to be NFL. Our back half of the episode is going to be college football.

Here's a little spicy trailer to get you excited. Their favorite by six and a half at home, the overrunners 49. I know they're both slow rowing offenses, but I'm telling you, I love the over this one. Can I tell you something? You sound fucking stupid. Again, that comes out. this Thursday at 6 a.m. every Thursday at 6 a.m. with myself Delaney Walker and Taylor Lewyne where we break down ball. We talk ball. We talk bets. We talk everything in between.

But again, the locker room every Thursday at 6 a.m. Back to the episode. But knowing that this division, it feels where it's at the temperature in America, like if you're elected in November, like how will you look to unite everybody through your communication, your behavior? It's a great question. That's a great question. So you want to see the country United But we have like two very different You have a very conservative side and a conservative side And then you have people that want to see an open border

And things I mean, you know, I don't A lot of it's so far up Like for instance they want men playing in women's sports I don't think I could ever say I'm thrilled about that Okay, I've seen it I've seen people really heard In the Olympics you had two boxes that transition to women And in the women's boxing they both won gold medals

and you saw the one, the young Italian girl, got hit a couple of times. She said, oh, I'm, bye-bye. She should have stayed in the ring. No, the whole thing. Huh? She should have stayed in the ring. Well, it was sort of weird, right? Yeah, but you fight your entire life for that moment.

You know going into it, you're probably going to face this person. It was a weird thing. I mean, she got hit very hard, and only with lefts, you know, it was poom. And she then walked back to the corner. She said, I just got hit by a horse. I can't take it. And then she walked back. You're right, about a little bit right.

but she's fighting a man she is fighting you know you know like if you train like all you think about like there is no tomorrow like everything we train for it doesn't matter what they throw at you you're going in the ring you're going to win yeah you get hit with just a couple jabs yeah she might have been hit hard i'm sure she's been hit harder in smart yeah yeah i was watching she got hit beautiful girl she got hit by two jabs and that was the end of yeah yeah she's tapped out that's interesting she said so in other words she should have gotten a shit knocked out of herself no she could have got in there Scrapping go win. He's a nasty.

He wanted to see blood. And the world was a, no, he's a bad blood. I would say, I would say, we come on this way for your tap out of. And just get the hell beat out of her. Willis in the movie wrong. Way too long. He didn't hear no damn bell. The Italian stallion.

Right. I know. She had a beautiful fish. She wants her on the floor bleeding profusely. Broken nose that'll never be the same again. Scarred down the face. You're a tough guy. He's a tough guy.

You should hear some things. She might have done the right thing. And I'm not one that says that. But anyway, so, no, but the two guys, there were two of them, and they both won a goal battle. How about the weightlifting? You know, records haven't been broken for like years, and they put an eighth of an ounce and another eighth on the, and, you know, the girl, can't do, the guy comes along. The whole thing is ridiculous.

So, okay, let's get back to your question, right, the weave. Yeah, phenomenal weave. You forgot about the weeds. Let's get back to your question. United us, United us. Hey, honestly, I didn't know you were going to come back to it. thing, yeah, but I have to do it. Otherwise, they'll say maybe, you know, you always have to come back.

What happens is that I think that we have to have success. When I was running the country, we had by the second and a half year, like two and a half years, three years, just before COVID came, we had the most successful country in history ever. This country was doing the best, best numbers in every country. category, no matter what category, including employment and everything. And I was getting called by people on the radical left that I would never have ever thought wanting to see me. Because everybody they knew was working. Radical left people had jobs, making more money than ever. And I'm telling you the country was then we got hit by the COVID stuff and we had to go back to work. But everybody was working.

Everybody was successful. They had great jobs who were making more money. money than they ever made. Everything was good. And I'm telling you the country was coming together, okay, despite the fact that, you know, the, what we were saying before about the divisions, like, you know, how do you have open borders? Some people, I don't think a lot of people like it, but some people do. But the country was coming together. And now, and if you would have asked me that question before this, I would have said, it's sort of two countries and you just have to work it out. But I'll tell you. I experienced unbelievable success leading the country just prior to COVID.

Numbers that the stock market was at an all-time. Everything was like perfect. And the country was coming together. So now I can honestly answer that question, say success will bring the country together. You know? Okay, see, we got right back to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was beautiful.

Yeah. We have a guest question. And it comes from a gentleman named Jordan Ruse. So Jordan played offensive line. I played with him at the Tennessee Titans. He's a massive fan. So this is a two-part question for you. I'll let you hold that.

Oh. And just press play on that. Okay. Press the middle root. Yep. He's a handsome man. Yeah. President Trump, huge fan.

My name is Jordan Roos. And my question for you is, what has allowed you to be so resilient, considering all you've been through, whether it's the weaponization of the Justice Department, attacks on you, your family, censorship, two assassination attempts, what has allowed you to be so resilient and to fight? And my guy, my other question,

I got to know, what's the most amount of weight you've ever bench pressed? Well, bench pressed? You know, I don't want to tell him because if I tell it, it's not much. You don't think so? I don't think so much.

I don't know. It's never been my, my, I'd have to, let's do it sometime. Next time we'll meet, we'll start lifting waste. We'll bring a bench press. Is he live right now? No, that's a video that he sent to him. I'm just wondering.

I'll take that back. Yeah, yeah. Well, thank you very much, Jordan, and I appreciate it. So he looks, he could bench press a lot. I don't know. He's an absolute house. There's no doubt about it. He was a great player.

Yeah, he did play, gritty player. Did he go to the NFL? Yeah, he played for Purdue Boilermakers. Played for Seattle for a little bit. Oh, no Titans. It looks like a great guy. So his question, essentially, you're very resilient. How do you basically take it?

Yeah. I have been through a lot. I think more than any president. Tell him that it was always Andrew Jackson, they said, was the one who was most abused. Andrew Jackson, he was a good president, and he was a great general, but he was a good president, too.

He was very abused, so much so that his wife died, very, very young, and she died because of heartache of what he went through and what they went through. And the second was Abraham Lincoln, but, you know, he was in a little thing called the Civil War, right? But he was very badly abused. And now I think they probably say Trump blows him away if you want to know the truth. I think the answer, because a lot of people do ask me this

question, how do you take it? How do you take it? How do you get up in the morning? They actually say, how do you get up in the morning and go to work? They're always after you. They want to indict you. They want to put you in prison. They're animals. Okay. They're animals. They're sick people. I have a guy named, I call him deranged Jack Smith. I mean, he was put out there. This was the weaponization of justice. And probably it's the first time it's happened. I don't think I'd be as popular if it didn't happen, okay?

Because I explain it to the public. It's not pleasant, but I explain it to the public. And I said, here's what happened. And they know it's true. They put, they go after me to try and hurt me politically so they can beat me in an election. And it's actually had the opposite effect. It's made me more popular. It's actually made me more popular.

And just told you, I try not to think about it the way he phrased the question. I just say, screw it. Whatever happens, happens. And do the right thing. You know, I see guys at golf or in sports, but they want to drop a three-putter. They try so hard. And in the end, it's like, it's like, it's. It's really unattractive.

And then you watch some other guys, like, you know, do you ever see Lee Trevino play golf? You know, just loses a goose or some other, you know, just bing, it goes in. I try to take it less seriously than I should. I should take it more seriously. But if I do, if I did that, I don't think I'd be with you guys today. I really don't. I fight very hard. and I'll also fight nasty because you have to

because these are sick people I think a lot of these people are sick the people that do what Jordan is saying and he's no fan of theirs either I can tell you I love him because he's like so many of our people that's the attitude there's spirit and there's tremendous love but I try to be very loose

and just say it doesn't matter you've got to do what's right and I get through it pretty easily. I'll tell you, it also helps, I think, that it's made me much more popular. I don't know that I'd be this popular. I mean, I'm leading. I beat all the Republicans easily, very easily, in record time, right? Record fashion.

And the indictments came and all the problems came from Biden and Harris. You know, she was a prosecutor. She probably used whatever talent she has, which isn't much. And she would come after me over nothing, over documents that Biden turned out to have a problem. And I won the case and come after me. When I explained to the public, and I would have a news conference, and I would explain it in great detail, and they would believe me. They understand it's not even a question of believe it.

They would believe me. But just tell him, I really appreciate him because I have so many people that I respect that are just like him. You have to just fight your way through it. And you cannot let it get you down. You have to just fight like hell and don't let it get you down. And try not to take it.

It's serious. It's very serious. But try not to take it so serious that you become immobilized. Because I've had friends that have gone through far less and they become basket cases. And you don't want that to happen. We appreciate your time today.

Thank you for sitting down with us. Very interesting. As much of even traveling around and stuff like that, taking this hour, that has been awesome. We really do appreciate it. It's all right.
