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.
Winning on Clay is an art.
The rallies are relentless,
and at the French Open,
only the toughest survive.
I'd know.
I competed there for decades.
Join me, Renee Stubbs,
on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast
for no-nonsense breakdowns
of the biggest matches,
the toughest players,
and the moments that define Roland Garros.
She's an outsider to win the French fame.
And she likes Clay.
Listen, Lennarabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now
and I actually can win on any surface.
Listen to the Renee Stubbs Tennis Podcasts on the Iheart Radio app.
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports.
It's crazy how like you kind of think about things sometimes and you get like kind of bummed out about it.
Like I think about like, man, remember college?
Like Halloween weekend, how much fun that would be, what you do with all the boys after?
And you get kind of bummed about that.
But then like I do things like last night when I get pretty drunk.
And then I everyone's like, let's go out.
So we go to losers and I pull up at losers on crutches.
I'm like, what the fuck am I doing here, dude?
Let's get the fuck out of here as soon as possible.
Things just move you by.
Take advantage of the most of all you can, folks, sitting on there, listen to this.
I'm 21.
Well, if you're 21, dude, I hope you're absolutely at a slutty Halloween party this weekend,
had an absolute blast.
Yeah, had a great time.
Live it up, because when you turn 31, I had a hard time really getting that down yesterday.
I thought I was 30 yesterday.
I know, you're like, am I really 31?
I was like, yeah.
I mean, unless you're three years younger to me, would you appreciate it.
I know, bro.
That's crazy.
Especially with kids, too, kids, family.
Like, it does.
It's a different world.
Everyone, it's true.
It does change.
Oh, no.
It does change because, like, you go from, like, going to bars and parties and stuff
like that to, like, oh, so-and-so is having a barbecue at their house.
That's where we're going to get our game in.
That's where we're going to go and drink a bunch of beers.
Like, if this was Friday or Saturday, I would have enjoyed the festivities going on.
Sunday's kind of my day now, though.
We sit down, watch the games.
Knowing that a Monday's coming, I was like, like, I felt the peer pressure coming on.
I was like, I got to stay in tent toes down.
I enjoyed a shot.
Yeah.
You had a shot in a beer.
Yeah.
And then like I had to hit the Irish goodbye.
Which I think is the best thing you could have possibly done.
The Titans game was over.
We were finishing up this other game.
I was hoping this other under hit, which it did.
My under parlay hit for like the Giants, the Giants and Niners game.
Yeah, Seahawks game.
That one hit.
And once that got done, I was like, oh, man, before this last drive, I need to go to the bathroom real quick.
But the game was kind of like over.
But I really noticed.
I was like, I'm going to go.
I was kind of just telling the, man, what's that dude's name?
the linebacker that was sitting next to me.
Oh, Gibbons.
Gibbons, yeah, because we were kind of hanging.
I was like, oh, I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick,
and I just dipped.
I literally just trotted to the truck.
It was hilarious.
Made my way out of there.
Tanner and Tanner and Taylor and they caught me.
Taylor and called, she's like, hey, are you leaving?
I was like, yeah, I just had the Irish goodbye.
I had to get out of there.
Out of there.
Because like two or three minutes after you left, someone's like,
yo, where's well?
And I literally sit down.
I go, he left.
I know he left.
And it was the smartest move you could have possibly made, dude.
Life is about making smart moves.
It's taken a minute to get here,
but one of the smartest moves you can possibly make in this world
is buying a Chevy Silverado.
We are starting to see pretenders and contenders
emerging after the first month of the NFL season.
There is one player that is never a pretender and always a contender,
and that player is the Chevy Silverado.
Chevroero, sorry, Silverado shows up week in and week out
with unstoppable grit and determination.
The hangover is really starting to hit me as I read this.
Chevy Silverado is the ultimate tailgate flex
with the available multiflex tailgate and power, Jesus Christ,
power outlet built right in the bed.
And the first ever ZR2 is the ultimate off-road machine.
From tailgate in stadium lots to,
why do I always mess that up?
From tailgates in stadium lots to off-road adventures,
Chevy Sovarado has you covered.
Head over to Chevy.com to learn more about the Chevy Silverado.
And the ZR2 is an off-road machine.
And if you need a truck to just do Irish goodbyes in,
the ZR2 is the truck.
Is that what you're ripping now?
Yeah.
God, it's a beautiful truck.
Dude, I do love it.
I kind of put some a little bit wider tires on it, I think.
But that I fucking love it, dude.
I think it's important with, with trucks and vehicles in general to have your own little
custom deal with it.
It could be a bumper sticker.
It could be new rims.
It could be with a truck.
Could be a leveling kit with the tires and everything.
I think it's important to do those types of things.
We're on the same page with the leveling kit, because we were talking about on the
phone, a leveling kit.
Leveling kit, wheels, and rims.
And then maybe.
I wouldn't mind.
I don't mind a little exhaust
to make it sound a little night.
Give it a nice little grumble.
Oh, shit kid.
All right.
That was kind of nice.
Oh, oh, oh.
And then you look over it, old girl, like, yeah.
You know?
You know, the things are under the hood.
Yeah.
Just wait, do you see what's down here.
You know what I'm saying?
I do like a tent too.
I think a tent on a vehicle goes a long way.
Have to have a tent, right?
Yeah.
You're in there picking your nose at a red light.
You don't want people catching you.
The best way to do that is with a tent.
Free the booger, dude.
Freeing the burger. My kids are all about freeing the fucking burger.
You just let the burger dry on your finger as you're driving.
Is that what you guys do too?
No, I like to roll it up till the sticky wears off and give it that good old fashioned flick.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'll take up.
Oh, it drips out.
It'll take like five minutes to like get the thing into a ball.
Yeah, and you kind of question it.
If it takes that long, you eventually you stop like subconsciously knowing what you're doing
and consciously know what you're doing and eventually you're like, what am I doing?
And you're like kind of doing it like below your legs so nobody can see.
Nobody can see.
Not one bit.
Yeah, dude.
fucking picking boogers, dude. Free the booger, dude.
And your Chevy Silverado.
That is the absolute move.
What do we got going on today, dude?
Big weekend.
If I could, I know we're going to jump all around.
First off, this little camera needs to move because I can't see this monitor or we got to move the monitor or something like that.
Eventually, not now.
This is going to be down the road.
Let me complain about it for a little bit.
So I can't see this.
But I will say, Will was right about Michigan.
Michigan State taking the end of those very smart.
Yeah.
But Michigan donkey the fuck.
Michigan State. They really didn't stand a chance the entire time. And I know a lot of people
are hating. A lot of my mentions were absolutely catching fucking hands all week. Dude, you're a piece
of shit. Oh, remember when you threaten that person, don't you have 17 assault cases?
It was a bit of a deal. But your boy just whist and kept saying shit over and over.
Over and over. The John Snow gift, dude, I was literally fighting the entire Michigan State fan base.
And now that it's over, like, we can just all go back to our lives. I'll see you again next year.
Like we don't need to
The hate needs to stop.
I'll stop hating.
You guys stop hating.
And then one thing that happened after the game
that your boy because of my past
and having a couple of assault cases
really didn't touch on.
But low key, Michigan State was like gang jumping
Michigan players.
Like what are we doing about that?
That's crazy.
That was wild.
There's two videos.
You see the two,
you see both of them?
I saw the video where they were beating it up
and it was really close.
Yeah.
I'm thinking like, I saw that the dude
skipped like a long,
alongside of them.
It's like, yeah, I mean,
you're probably going to get your ass whipped.
If I'm in that moment, I know the boys are going to get robbed up.
Like, what are you doing skipping around?
You already beat her ass.
Like, we're going to toss you around a little bit here.
Right.
But then when I saw the video of the dude, like, swinging his elbow and they're like...
You're in Donald's style.
Yeah, they didn't just like...
Obviously, it's an entire football team beating this dude up, basically.
Like, yeah, push him around and do all that stuff out.
But the dude's taking their helmet off trying to, like, continue to end his life.
Like, that's fucked.
Like, that's too far.
I don't mind a little scuffle.
You got...
I think a scuffle's so needed.
Yeah.
You want the skulls are...
especially when it comes to rivalry games.
Yeah, and the dude was living in it.
He was, yeah.
He's like, ha, fuck you.
Yeah, let him have it.
I'm like, yeah, we just whooped y'all ass.
Or he's dabbing up all the Michigan, like right in front of him.
Yeah.
And he says one thing, like, yeah, you're going to get tossed a little bit.
What I was disappointed.
And listen, there needs to be repercussions for those guys' actions.
You can't just roll dice, and the first dice counts for how many guys are jumping in.
And then the second dice is how many minutes.
Like, you can be, like, jumping dudes in.
That can't happen.
And I know that's fucking, I'm over here saying shit when I've done shit.
But I've never took in with five dudes in.
beat up somebody. I've never done that in my life.
But I really think that there needs
to be some repercussions. These guys might
catch charges and we've got to figure out
a way for like this to move down.
But I think it's very, it makes
the game better, especially in college football, when there
is a scrum at the 50 yard line, when guys
are pushing back and forth. The coaches are holding
players back because they're trying to fight. And
another thing too is like, one
dude's getting his ass beat, like,
where's the rest of the team at? Where's my boy
Trevor Kegan rocking them sevens? He was probably
in there holding Paul Bunyan for a little too long, but one
dude, this locker room we're looking at right here in this video,
that's literally the Michigan State locker room.
That's the Michigan State, those are the doors open to Michigan State's locker room.
And then Michigan's locker room is on the other side.
Like, what are we doing?
And there's also in the second video, there's another video of like people running away.
Like you with obvious Michigan garment on.
Like, you need to get your ass in, like that buddy at the end.
Like, you need to get your ass in there and help the boys out.
Yeah, you got to throw your bows around a little bit.
I heard a kid got his, this kid got his nose broken.
No one?
I think so.
I, it was number one or number zero.
That kid, yeah, yeah.
I heard he's got a nasal damage.
I don't know what that means, but there's shit going on that it's a bit of a deal.
If you're an AD, how do you handle that situation you think?
Which AD?
I like that.
Michigan State's AD.
What do you do?
If I'm Michigan State's AD.
I mean, I don't know like what the options are.
Obviously, like if you're the head coach, you got to come down on those boys.
Like, hey guys.
Brown right here.
Like we're not going to lose your scholarship.
Who's, whoa, whoa.
Michigan State.
He's like full number, full name.
back of the jersey he's just swinging haymakers.
It's like you're losing your scholarship over that.
Not a fight.
This isn't a fight though, man.
This is like a beating.
This is a jumping.
Yeah.
Why is he by himself?
I know it's so fucked up to say,
but that bothers me the most.
It's like, why isn't there other Michigan dudes in here?
Like, if they're really going to take it to that,
where's the rest of the team and why aren't we just doing this thing fucking for real?
And I'm not saying they should have done that.
That should not have happened.
Michigan State should have never done that.
My buddy shouldn't be walking alone down an alley.
Without your helmet.
Oh, but there's a big fight.
Strap that fucking up.
The reason he was by himself, though, is again, he was skipping.
Like, he was ahead of the entire team.
He was like...
So the team's behind the me thing.
He was intentional. Like, all the guys,
I think there's a little bit of a scuffle on the 50-yard liner.
Right, as the game was ending.
Yeah, the game was ending.
Some of Michigan State was starting to go in the tunnel.
He starts just skipping,
in the whole skip to my loo thing all the way, like,
in that crowd.
Yeah.
He's not even around the Michigan guys.
Because remember, it's,
You guys share that tunnel.
Yeah, there's only one tunnel.
So the away team was going in first.
You go in, one come out, babe.
Yeah.
So the away team was going in first.
So Michigan was like way behind us.
It's not like they knew that that dude was getting his ass whooped.
But if you're the head coach, like I'm sure they're going to have.
Like, that's Mel Tucker.
He's a Bama guy.
Like, I almost disagree with what you're saying, though.
And when I'm watching this video, I'm thinking Michigan is now in their locker room celebrating.
Michigan's not.
Yeah, they're back.
They're on the field still walking up.
Yeah, they should be able to see something going on and go up there and do something about it.
point of like me saying they didn't know he's getting his ass.
Yeah.
Like you might be able to see that.
I don't know, man.
That's a crazy fucking deal.
Did you see the video from the,
the birds eye view where he's skipping in?
Yeah, and he's like dapping up the fans.
He's pretty far away from the majority.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's all connecting a little bit better for me because I really thought that
Michigan was already in their locker room when this was going on.
Yeah, I mean, you got to, first out, there's a lot of things.
It's wrong.
We're not going to like joke about that too much.
But a little bit of situational awareness.
You start dapping and getting hyped up
and you look around there's a bunch of white jerseys.
Like still go ahead and bow up and act tough,
but also start inching towards your voice.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, no, no.
Like, all it takes is one guy.
It's like a bunch of rabid dogs, dude.
Like one dude's going to be like,
fuck it, I'm going to hit this guy.
No one else is going to know what's going on.
All those will be eating the shit out of this guy.
We don't know what we're doing.
We're just doing this on the ground, right?
That dude was basically doing what Lenny said he would do.
Yes.
Yeah.
He's like, I'm going to take on the entire team.
What's the worst that can happen?
Broken nose.
Broken nose.
I mean, it could have got way fucking worse.
It could have got way worse.
And the way that the Michigan State guys were trying to beat the life out of them,
it's like, all right, guys, like there's a hundred of you guys.
I know.
It really didn't seem like anybody was trying to stop it either.
I know.
Where's the strength staff?
You know the strength staff's got to be somewhere around there.
Oh, yeah.
Those are number one boys to get out of fights.
Yeah.
The number one guys, big, strong dudes, they wear shirts that are one size too small for them.
But you know when a scuff happens, hey, be adults.
They're going to say some shit to you that makes you feel like a child.
Yeah.
that's a tough deal.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what you do.
Like, there's going to be repercussions.
Like, I assume that Coach Tucker's going to handle it.
I think Michigan State's going to handle it correctly.
You think so?
Yeah, I mean, think about it, bro.
Oh, it's football, dude.
I mean...
Think if, like, think of your...
Dude, if we did that with Coach Bo at Nebraska and Dobson and them,
like, we would be rolling the next day.
Like, we would be in some shit the next day.
Yeah, but I think, like, in this situation that T. Brown guy,
you see him obviously just throwing Bowes, beating the shit as some kid on the ground.
The obvious answer would be,
be kick this guy off the team. I don't know who T. Brown is, but if he's a stud on the team,
he's not getting kicked off. You think, yeah, that's true. But if he's like a first year guy,
walk-on cat, he's out of there. Yeah. I wouldn't think initially kick him off the team. Like, again,
emotions are high right after a game. You start swinging on somebody. Like, I'd like to think
that I would have been one of the dudes, like, if I'm wearing Michigan State, or I'm like,
all right, all right, guy, hey, fellas enough. Like, you think, Joe? Yeah, you got it.
You know, what would you have done if you're wearing Michigan State? If you're
college, if you're Taylor- I don't know. Because one thing I think you're talking about,
I know you're going to say, listen, it shouldn't happen.
It's all bad.
But I think we can all agree on that.
Like, experience is the best teacher.
Like, you went through that stuff.
Like, you're not the same dude as you were back in college.
Everybody tries to get on you for your little assault cases.
Yeah, I'm definitely, I'm not fighting nobody anymore.
I'm not going to happen.
Me in college, I don't know.
It really depends on the mood on, man.
We just beat the, if we got the shit kicked out of this.
I don't know.
I've always been a decent loser.
I've always been, like, decent at, like, taking the licks and moving on.
So what I want to say is not do anything.
I get the boys off them, but like definitely talk shit to the individual that's dumb enough to go like in the tunnel.
But yeah, I could see it going either way from me.
I could see it going.
But I've also been a dude that's like my awareness in those situations are pretty top notch.
Yeah.
Like if I started getting, if I started arguing with some dudes and I see that I'm kind of all by myself, what I'm going to do is I'm going to start rotating, getting more who's really around me and then kind of start backing up having them come with.
But now I got my boys behind me a little bit.
I can stand in plain sight that where everyone can help me out.
Right.
There's nothing worse.
Then Loki getting jumped and there's no one there to save you.
You got to be a situation.
You got to have situational awareness.
Like I could see myself like Don King in it.
Like, you know, throwing some taglines at guys.
But once I start seeing that they're trying to beat me like, hey, well,
well, guys, I'm just fucking around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you say some shit.
Maybe nuts and somebody can take off running.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Call a piece of shit.
No, man, good game.
We're cool.
We're cool.
We're cool.
Oh, bitches, baby.
And then they start calling me, hey, I'm just fucking around.
Boy, right?
You think you would have been like that in college?
Me?
I feel you were a hard-oh in college, though.
Yeah, I was.
I'm just thinking, like, if I happen to have been that guy,
that's why I like to think if I'm a Michigan State guy,
but hey, guys, what are we fucking,
we just got our asses whooped.
Yeah.
Hey, giving that hard-off speech.
Oh, you think you're, does that make you feel better?
We just got our ass whooped down there.
You feel good now?
Yeah.
Coach is going to come in and light us up.
Man.
But yeah, Michigan took care of business, dude.
Michigan, Michigan State.
We knew the dub was going to happen.
I was hoping to be over 23.
I'm glad it didn't for the sole reason that you won your bet.
Yeah, yeah. And I'm happy for that.
You won by three scores.
That's a, I just, the gambling space is just a different game.
I felt like that was too high of a line.
Thank God it.
It wasn't.
And it was right at the line.
They only won by 22.
And they tried to go for the double pass at the end of the game with score touching.
I thought in my head like, you know, they might little kick this field goal to cover the line.
Like that'd be ridiculous for them to kick the field goal, but like how hilarious would that be?
Yeah, I would have been brutal for me.
You were hurting.
Yeah, I only won the weekend by one game in both days.
Like it all came down, right?
But at the end of day, you're up.
I think I was three and two on Saturday.
and three and two on Sunday.
Three and three then, maybe.
So you up one?
I don't know.
The board came to play.
Like, we got some,
we got some soul searching to do this week.
You got some soul searching to do?
I was battling.
I was down one because I parlayed a couple of games,
so I was actually down.
Even though we came out, like,
one game above water,
like I had to fight my way back
and hedge some bets in the middle of the game.
Like, I had to put on my headset,
I had to coordinate it up.
Yeah.
I did dial up some pressure.
Right.
And I had to get back to even.
And I did.
Like, that's off to me.
I did it.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Thank you for being you.
But at the same time, like, if you went through all that adversity and literally had to fight
scratch and claw to get one game above 500, like imagine being one game below 500.
You still have to learn all those lessons.
But now you're one game ahead with a lot more experience on your belt.
I think, if anything, this week, bet the bus is going to be stronger because of that while we're still winning.
Fair.
So there's really nothing to be a good about.
A win to win.
If you win by one point or you win by 21 points, a win.
A win is a win.
Yeah.
It's in that column you've won this week.
That's what it is.
But what an awesome opportunity for you, the boys in the back, to learn and keep growing.
Dude, you guys are doing it.
Yeah.
You saw me at your house yesterday.
Yeah.
You saw it sometimes like, hey, Will, are you enjoying yourself?
Like, I am enjoying myself.
I'm just, I'm dialed in because I was back, boys.
Like, I had to throw together a live bed at halftime.
And I took the yunders on the Tennessee game, the Niners game, and the Seahawks game.
And they all won by one point.
So I'm literally watching the end of every game.
I took the under was 28 or 20 and a half with the Titans game, which is a low.
That's low.
Yeah.
They hit.
It hit.
It hit barely.
Niners hit.
Even though they started just beating the shit out of fucking, who were they playing?
The Rams.
That one, thank God, hit.
And then the Seahawks one hit, too, all by like one point.
Thank God.
Dubs.
Thank God.
You fucking caught dubs.
And then the evening game, the night game, I just enjoyed that one.
I didn't even want to.
Dude, it was a long week.
of battling. It was a long weekend of battling.
How do you feel on Monday? Do you feel
like you're at E right now or you feel pretty good?
I feel pretty good. No, I feel good. I had a good night's
sleep. I had a good night's sweat this morning.
I thought about it. I'm like, all right, my account's the same.
So you like to win. You like to win.
Yeah, of course. You love to win some money.
But if you think about it also, another
promising situation is you won a little bit,
but how much fun did you have?
You know what I'm saying? You basically played for free.
Yeah. And that's a nice deal.
That is how I looked at it.
Yeah. To have a good, you had a good time
and there was really no damages taken.
Right.
But then I think that stress weighed on me.
Like, was that worth it just to get even?

Back to the episode.
The Raiders really fucked me.
Yeah, what is going?
I saw your tweet and I don't know if you want to go too much into it.
But seeing the Raiders, you got to be hurting.
Your boys.
That's one of those are your boys.
I feel like, yeah, those are the boys, man.
I feel like the attention has got to go towards Coach McDaniels, right?
In my opinion.
Like, this is me.
I haven't played for any of those coaches.
Like, again, we had, the Raiders had Bissachia last year at the end of the year.
They won their last five out of six games.
Everybody was standing on the table won them, maybe except for a few people.
I don't know who those people are, but the majority of people wanted Bessatia to stay.
Right.
You go out and then you get Coach McDaniels.
Yeah, he gets a second shot.
And your new GM.
Yeah, new GM.
Shout it to him.
David Ziegler.
David Ziegler.
David Ziegler, brother.
Future guests on the bus, dude.
An absolute legend.
I cannot wait to unpack stories with him, but this is your time.
You keep going.
But you bring in Coach McDaniels, and everybody's like, you know,
right in Cloud 9, like this is like a, you know, an offensive guru.
He's always been good as an offensive coordinator for Belichick.
And he comes in with all those weapons.
You acquire Devante Adams.
Huge.
And like they have, like, they play bad defense on Sunday,
but they have the pieces to play to be a really good football team.
I obviously they've showed glimpses of it this year being like two and four.
And again, I know like I'm notorious for finding like all the wins.
All those losses, bro, like, you know it.
If they combine for 14 points, you know your coach, like, you believe your coach saying, like, hey, we're one play away in every game.
I never get.
I'm driving because Nebraska.
Right.
We got to unpack that next.
We'll talk about that next.
But knowing that they lost 24 to nothing against the Saints, it's not like, I mean, yeah, it's the NFL any given Sunday, but I just don't know what's going on.
You have that type of star power.
You have that firepower on offense.
You have good guys on defense.
And again, they were in a good spot.
they finished in a good spot last year at the end of the year
and to completely turn it all over,
wipe away the entire, like, staff front office and stuff like that,
get a new one in.
It's just like, you know, when's it going to start happening for him?
Yeah.
I think, too, the thing about, I don't know, I don't know these guys at all.
McDaniels, I don't know.
When you say guys, you're talking everybody, you talk.
I don't know the coaching staff.
Literally the only person I know is Dave Ziegler.
And if you're a Raiders fan and you're listening to this right now,
Dave Ziggler is going to put you on the right path, buddy.
He is an outstanding.
guy he obviously the lineage he comes from the guy i truly believe in dave ziegler as the gym of the
of the Vegas las Vegas raiders but i think and this kind of happened with us early in my career like
you get these offensive gurus in here and they want to see it come and dissect all these different things
we can run this player that play and then you end up looking at your playbook going into a game and
you have like 40 something plays and it's like that's way too much for guys to remember and it's like
it's like it could be five or six plays with the little changes here and there but those little
changes, the more you think about the
the slower you're going to play, I don't know if that's a thing
but just from my experience is seeing that
on the opposite side of the ball, knowing that like
usually simplifying things
and having your bread and butter and having like a couple
gadgets off that, that's all you need.
You know what the team is good at
and do that. Make them beat you at your fastball
first. And I haven't paid enough attention
to the Raiders or probably should start paying more attention.
But with all that talent,
the coach's got to be sitting there having a little bit of stress
of like, how do I get run for the ball?
How do I get all this guy the ball? How many times
should I hand it off to Jacobs.
Like, you have so much talent on that team.
Sometimes it becomes more of a burden than it is a blessing.
Yeah.
That's a good point because it is hard.
It's like, how do you, like I think you need to just continue to run through Josh Jacobs.
The dude before yesterday, he was in three game over 140.
He was averaging 150 a game.
Like, he legitimately physical punishing motherfuckers running the ball.
Like, he looked good.
And it's like, this is the way you need.
I know you got all the bells and whistles on the outside, but obviously having a good running
game always tells us.
But it's just, it's just interesting.
how it's not like it's not coming together.
And again, I don't know.
I read a thread a few weeks ago from Tyler Palumbus
who had played for Coach McDaniels.
It just seems like coming from the Belichick mold,
like there'd be a lot of like spreading red ass,
even after wins, like feeling good.
And you just, and I know we're a Pro Vives podcast,
but vibes in the building fucking matter to players, bro.
Yeah.
Like if you feel like even on wins or you're not,
sometimes when you're losing, like say,
and I hate to just completely talk.
about the Raiders and be like, all right, we're going to end up pointing the finger here.
Let's just talk about a losing team in general.
When you're losing, I feel like what usually works the best for players, and if I'm speaking
the coaches, but if it, because it trickles down to the players, but finding ways to like
inspiring and motivate them to be like, you know, like when Frable sometimes, he'd roll clips
of good football, like when we were like down.
We felt like we were down bad and we kind of had a butthole type week of practice.
Yes.
And then the night before a game, and he's like, show me where we can't fucking
play. And he's like, encouraging, I'm getting
goosebumps talking about it. He's like, look at, you know,
Jeff Simmons do this. Look at Derek Kennedy, cat people
off. Yeah, look at, look at Taylor running down
field, your blockers running down field. Like, guys,
we fucking have it. Like, you go
to bed with a little bit of juice, a little bit of like,
yo, yeah, like, why are we hanging
our heads about shit? It shouldn't be doing it at all.
Like, the vibe around the team
matters. And, like, if you're, if you're
just like a negative vibes guy,
it's going to be tough. Yeah.
I'm nothing he is. I'm just trying to dissect as much
as I can. You come from Belichick, you didn't win,
I've never been in that locker room, so I don't know,
but you hear a bunch of guys that come out of there and say it's like,
hey, it's not fun to play there.
Like, you're strictly there to win championships and that's it.
Now, a lot of fans are sitting there being like, yeah, that's what,
that's why you're, that's why you're supposed to be there.
It's probably pay you money.
You got to win championships.
And I get that, but there is, it's a fucking physical game.
It's an emotional game.
It literally drains the shit out of you.
Like, every single season I've ever played a football.
Like, at the end of the year, as soon as the season is done, I get sick for like a week.
Because you're just like so emotionally drained.
So it makes it a little bit easier.
like you're talking about
when Vrabel's putting those clips on
the guys are hey look what we're doing right
this is good now
it's a totally different situation
for the Titans now
because they're in a five game win streak
and so how do you kind of sit there
and say hey boys
let's stay humble
let's separate now
like this is all about separation
from everybody else
let's keep that train going
which I think Vrabble does a really good job of
his presence in front of a room is
I mean of all the coaches you've seen
of all the coaches I've seen is probably number one
Vrable commands the most present
like there's obviously pros and cons to every coach
but Vrabb is like he's, I, anywhere I go, I'm like,
you, Vraib has a 30-minute team meeting to start every day.
Yes.
Which I felt like we could have benefited from being in Washington
and seeing all the stuff that happens and things that like leak through the cracks.
Yeah.
It ended up affecting the team.
Vraib does a good job addressing pretty much all this stuff.
And I'm not even talking about headlines.
Like, there might be a headline, but the man just does a good job of like,
we're starting every day.
We're going to be a team.
We're going to call out bullshit.
We're going to talk about positive, negatives.
We're going to do all that.
from each and every day, from a game aspect, from a practice aspect, everything.
Keys, vision, everything.
I feel like he's always done, he's done the best of that from anybody I've been around.
And the biggest win to all that is this team walks in, a bunch of individuals walk into a room and reset every single day.
And now we know what the mission is, what are the keys to victory?
And how are we all on the same page to win this game by doing X, Y, and Z?
He does that.
He puts you in the room, 8 o'clock every single day, dude.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
You are in that meeting room, but holes are time.
height because he's going to ask you questions.
He's going to ask you hard questions and no one's exempt,
except for maybe Derek.
No one is exempt from getting asked questions.
You're going to get asked questions.
You got to know the stuff.
You're going to look dumb.
And that's just kind of like what it is.
But once you can get over the fact that, okay, I might look dumb here.
And you start looking at what Rabel is really doing,
which is easier to do as you get older.
It's an extremely beneficial way to go through a season.
Yeah.
Because you know, like, hey, wide receivers,
we need you guys to block so-and-so this week.
You guys block this guy on the perimeter.
We're going to be all right in the run game.
So you know,
there's an offensive line.
Like, we got to hold this guy accountable.
Titans, you have to do this.
Offensile line.
We need you to protect against these guys.
Obviously, that's like what you're supposed to do.
But how are we going to go about and do that?
And then later in the week, it's like, hey, Taylor,
talks to me about Max Crosby.
Talk to me about this guy.
Like, what are his moves?
And then now everyone has to see, okay,
is Taylor looking at the film?
Is he doing what he's supposed to be doing this week?
So we can feel like we trusted him during the week.
And so there is a huge level of accountability when it comes to the Titans
locker room.
Now, when you go O and 2 in that,
like I have been two and four.
with Braves in the beginning of the 2019 season
when I'm going to AFC Championship,
that locker room at 2 and 4
and the locker room at 0 and 2,
I think that's where Vrabs has grown the most.
Because Vrabs, he does like to just
hammer down when things get tough.
I think this year watching him those two games,
he's done a phenomenal job of like keeping positive vibes.
I'm going to walk in in, hey, boys, this is at a funeral.
Like we're not, the Titans aren't done.
It's like literally we're in the middle of September right now.
Yeah.
And handling things, that keeps growing.
That's why he's in the running for coach of the year again.
Yeah, him and a dabble.
Dable.
Daibel?
Fuck, I keep saying that wrong.
Deiani.
Yeah, the Eagles are fucking playing well, too.
But yeah, bro, Braves is like, yeah, because the first year, I feel like he's developed, too,
because the first year I low-key, like, I did not enjoy playing for him a whole lot.
But then the second time also.
The first year you were there, elaborate on that because guys are walking in the locker,
I'm like, I fucking hate Mike Rable.
Yeah.
I hate it.
Like, I would get in my truck and be like, fuck, I can't believe I, like, I got to go put
in another day.
Like, those are times when you start thinking about.
like retirement for real.
You're like, man, do I even want to do this shit anymore?
Like, I'm starting my day just in a bad headspace.
It's like, fuck, what's going to happen today?
Like, what's going to get bitched about today type of thing?
Like, I did not enjoy driving into the facility compared to like years past or teams pass.
And that's why it's like the vibe does matter because there's so many variables that go
into just winning a football game on Sunday.
But yeah.
And then fast forward to 2019, it was like way different.
And then obviously it feels different now.
I haven't played for him this year or last year,
but, like, you can just tell it's, it's,
it's a lot different from when it was the first year.
The first year, like, dudes did not really fuck with him a whole lot.
No, no one, the, no one fucked with Mike Rable his first year.
But I totally get it.
Like, he came in, he came with, like, a wrecking ball, like,
really trying to figure out who wants to be a part of it and who wants to get the fuck out.
Correct.
Like, we had a new coach in college.
Yeah.
New coach in college.
Like, those, those winter workouts are going to be the hardest winter workouts of your life.
We're going to find out who really wants to play football and who really does want to play football.
So I think he's done it.
He's done a good job of that.
I'm anxious to see
with the Atlanta Falcons now
being at top of the
NFC South
how that locker room is right now.
Arthur Smith,
probably if you're looking at,
besides the Panthers in that division,
they probably have one of the weaker, talented.
Yeah,
like an NFC least type of division.
Yeah.
And,
but like the Falcons of that division
definitely aren't them
from a personnel standpoint,
the strongest personnel.
Yeah, they got a lot of...
Arthur's in there.
Catching dubs for the boys.
They're going in...
An electric game yesterday.
I saw a cap.
I saw a cap.
space thing and they're like one of the tops like they're gonna you know they're gonna have a lot of
money to do stuff in the future so it just shows like how they're trying to figure out and great call
on them like it's funny how it's worked out like they will let Julio go a couple years ago Matt Ryan
they let him go last year it seems like the boys made some good decisions while he's in there
I'm not saying that because he needs a time playoff Willie but the Falcons are what four and two
since that text came yeah I mean you think about you're already affecting the team and you're not even
in the locker room yet just imagine
if you get in there
Yeah, yeah, just the match.
You guys, the defense might never
let up a point again.
Maybe not.
I know Coach,
I know Coach P's was probably about to have a heart attack
when they gave up that hell Mary yesterday.
Oh.
When they were up,
I mean,
the game was pretty much over 70 seconds left.
They just stole a bomb.
Dude, it was two minutes and 30 seconds left
and Marcus,
I'm like,
Marcus about to put a game
when he drive together right now.
And then there was like,
14 more points scored after that.
I was like, holy shit.
I fucking love Marcus, dude.
What an outstanding individual.
He's been dealing and dealing out there.
He really has.
It's out there making money, dude.
Every throw he makes, more money for him.
Bag.
Bad.
I'm super excited for the boy for sure.
Yeah, Falcons are looking good.
I think they could, I mean, they could take that division.
I mean, the buccaneers, the buccaneers.
Are they dead?
Are they dead?
I think they're dead.
It's tough.
It's tough for me to say, because my whole life,
I feel like you can't ever bet against Tom Brady.
I know, but again, father time gets everybody.
You let, hey, you die a hero or go out a hero or live long enough to become the villain.
And he's seen it.
We've seen this story.
We've seen this story, man.
Imagine if he just walked away last year, then there would literally be nothing
blemishing his record.
Yeah.
He'd be like, DeFlead Game.
There'd be nothing.
Nothing.
And he's going on that big media deal he got.
What was it, like 30-something a year?
Buddy, it's like $270 million with Fox, right?
Crazy.
Bro, yeah, it's nuts.
It's like if, and I think the same thing.
Like, anytime I'm thinking about the game, I'm like, yeah, but do I bet against Tom Brady.
It's tough to do that.
It goes through your mind, and then they're on a how many game losing streak?
I think they've lost five of the last six.
Which is, it's tough, man.
That's fucking tough.
And then you see things coming out.
And I know we've kind of touched on this before because you never want to talk about someone's relationship.
But like, you know what it's like when you and your girl are having a hard time.
You got to go play a game in college.
Imagine that on the magnitude it is right now.
He's got to be fucking hurting out there.
Yeah, it's got to be tough to balance all that stuff.
And it does suck that like your marriage stuff has been leaked in in the headline.
It's tough.
Public at the forefront.
these last few weeks because it's like Tom Brady's such a monster story.
He's the greatest player of all time.
Of Eddie's sport.
So obviously, like, people are going to, as simple as, like, going out to eat.
Or, like, some of these rumors happen because they go to a hotel and somebody sees them at the hotel.
A media company might know that, like, hey, let's just call the bell guy, the bellhopper guy,
or somebody at the front desk to see what they feel like might be going on.
And we'll throw you a couple bones.
Yeah.
And it's like, that's going to be easy.
Like, oh, it seems like this is happening.
and then that's just going to be a headline.
It sucks that they have to like navigate their life that way.
But yeah, man, it's...
But if you're Tom Brady and the alleged stuff of having like an ultimatum,
like if I'm Tom, I'm dipping.
I'm out of there.
I'm like, boys, this is the deal.
Let's hypothetically.
Let's just hypothetically.
I love it.
Now if you put that in, we can say whatever we want now.
Now we can say whatever we want.
Whatever we want.
Because I truly, I do.
It does suck.
It's like, you know, you speculate about the marriage and everything.
Like, should we have a moment of silence for...
Tom Brady's relationship?
Don Brady and Giselle.
like coming to an end?
Hypothetically, we should.
Okay, let's hypothetically.
What was that?
Yeah, like, that's tough.
But hypothetically, let's say an ultimatum was dished out.
You go first.
Okay, if there's an ultimatum dished out to me
and my wife comes up to me and says, hey, football or me.
And I'm in Tom Brady's position.
Family.
Family.
Football or family.
Yeah, sorry.
I was like family.
What is this?
Ben Diesel from fucking pasting the fears?
Just bamboos.
Throwing that shit out of me right there.
Fucking, yeah, family or football.
I would sit there.
And the hardest thing I would have to cope with is walking into a locker room and telling the boys,
hey, listen, like, I got to leave.
I got to go.
And this is, I feel like a quitter because I'm leaving in the middle of the season.
You should never dip in the boys.
Like, that's going to be the biggest thing for me with my children.
If they choose to play sports, you can't quit in the middle of the season.
You're not allowed to do that.
If you want to do this, you have to commit because there's people counting on you.
And that's, like, a hard thing for me to speak out of both sides of my mouth.
For me, I would say, I got to go.
I got to leave.
But there's another part of me that's like, why the fuck are you giving me an ultimatum?
Right.
That's like where the ego kind of gets blown up a little bit in my head, like, how come
I have to choose?
Right.
Now, now we don't know what the conversations.
Hypothetical.
This is pure hypothetical.
I know.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I don't want to talk about another man's relationship of what I would do.
But if we're talking about hypotheticals, that's what I would do.
Yeah.
I would dip on the boys, even though we're pro vibes for the boys podcast, some things just
just get a little too grand.
Yeah, it's bigger.
is bigger the football.
So hypothetically, in my situation, personally, I want to hear what you to say.
I would leave as well.
Like if I'm in that specific situation.
Yeah.
Now, what I have to feel like I have to do personally is try and put myself in the most
competitive mindset of all time because I feel like that's what Tom Brady has.
Right.
Like the greatest football player to walk the earth.
Earth.
We're not arguing about that, right?
No, no, no.
There's no argument.
Like the greatest football player to walk the earth.
I feel like there's some like there's some there's some responsibility with that like you can't fault the guy that he's like wanting to be just continue he can't walk away like he's even he's even said like I don't want my kids to like have to deal with some of the competitive things that I have going on on my head I mean that's a butcher quote but I think he said it on one of his little documentary yeah I think he said on one of his documentary like you can tell like this dude has has beat himself senseless like to be successful and to be the best like you've got to be cynical you got to be so like
you know, for lack of a better word, like selfishly thinking about this stuff because you just can't walk away.
It's like a drug.
Yeah.
Like the dude had 30 million a year.
Ready, in a bag, packed ready to go.
Yeah.
You get 30 a year.
Whenever you want it.
Whenever you want it.
Right.
More flexibility in your schedule.
You get freedom.
And you're sponsored by fucking Aston Martin.
Shelly.
He has, money is not an issue.
No issue.
There is no problem with the money.
Probably make it more than you.
Probably.
That's probably why he's able to take all those pay cuts.
And it's like you have.
All the flexibility.
Oh, you don't want to study.
You don't want to do production prep every week.
Yeah.
Or leading up to the game.
Don't have to.
We know you know the game well enough.
Yes.
Like, just show up and do your thing.
Like, just beat Tom Brady.
Yeah.
Take those high cheekbones and fucking put it in a booth.
Exactly.
It's all you got to fucking do, dude.
You do the retirement speech and then you just let it live.
Like, maybe the media controls your retirement.
You were mad that you didn't get to go out the right way.
But you can kind of rewrite it.
Hey, I'm coming back.
But then dip again come training camp time, I guess.
But he had it.
Like, it's all there.
It was done.
dude, it was done.
It was done.
It's like the movie Wolf of Wall Street, dude.
He has the out with the IRS.
Like, all you have to do is resign for the companies.
And he literally walks around.
I'm not fucking leaving.
They're like, what?
I'm fucking leaving.
And I was like, ah!
But now you're fucking, now you're caught, dude.
So now you have to wear a wire and snitch on your boys to even get out of anything.
And then you don't want to stitch the boys tonight.
You're getting caught.
And guess what you're in a white color prison.
Yes, man.
Thank God Tom, you're not in that situation.
I hope that God he never gets in that situation.
Yeah.
But man, dude.
All of this is from the hypothetical of their being.
an ultimatum and trying to put ourselves in both situations.
We have no clue what's happening.
No clue.
I hope one day we can freely have time on the bus and he'll even talk about.
Like what goes on?
What happened in your brain in those two weeks to be like, I can't leave this sport,
even with fat bags waiting on me.
Fat bags.
More than anybody in the industry's made.
And you haven't done one thing behind the mic.
But I tell you what, one thing, this is totally off the wall here.
One thing Tom has done perfectly, he's gotten just the right amount of plastic surgery done.
Can you tell?
I think a little too much.
You think so.
I think so.
I think his chiefs are greatest.
His jaw is strong and his teeth are white as can be.
I think.
So how old is he, 45?
Forty-five.
So I think at 43 and 44 years old, you're like, man, he looks fucking good for being
a- Right.
And now you think it's too much?
Yeah, now at 45, I'm thinking, okay, you're doing a little too much to stay young.
You got to...
Because I feel like his hair is kind of doing that whole, like, you know, in a Barbie doll
where it seems a little like fried out of his head?
I feel like that's what's happening in his hair.
That's, again, the hair, too, which Thomas had, like, the hair forever.
I mean, look at that.
bro?
Yeah.
I think he needs to eat a little bit more.
You can tell he's probably not been eating.
No, he's stabbed.
That shit takes a toll on you, bro.
Those are depression cheeks.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
I wasn't thinking about that.
Like maybe he's thinned out so much because this life might be taking a whole total.
He does look a little methie.
Yeah, there is something going on.
But for a 45-year-old man, you're looking at that.
You're like, that's a handsome boy.
He's doing well.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it's Tom Brady.
It's Tom Brady.
He's the goat.
Like, look at him in his younger years, bro.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, come on.
He's a good looking cat, man.
Like, again, I can only imagine, like, all the shit he's trying to juggle.
Because, like, playing ball is just, like, dude,
were that balance, trying to have that balance?
Yeah.
Do you think he has a tanning bed or gets sprayed tans?
I think it's just his genetics.
I think it's just his genetics.
Buddy, those are the same genetics in both those pictures.
Yeah, but he wasn't on the TB12 method early in his career.
Oh, so, like, lack of tomatoes gives you more of a tan?
Maybe.
We don't know what's going on in that household.
That's true.

Back to the episode.
We were on the Tom Brady conversation,
which I would love to talk about
the Antonio Brown podcast that he went on.
And the way he talked about Tom Brady
on that podcast, the guy was like,
I genuinely want to know what happened between you and Tom.
and then he continued to read off quotes that Tom said
and then flipped it to where it's like,
it seems like every chance you get,
you're trying to throw him under the bus.
Like, talk to us about how it got there.
And then Antonio basically made it seem like people are overthinking it,
which no one is at all.
I don't think, yeah.
All right, now are we, did you say you want to transition to that,
or are we here now?
I think we're here.
I think that was it.
I was just making sure
because I know people knew what took a break and stuff like that.
Here's what I gathered in that type of situation right there.
And I don't know Antonio Brown.
I've literally been around him a handful of times
and I enjoyed every single time I was around him.
I thought he was a fun-loving guy.
This is before, this is when he was steal at the Steelers.
What?
You're all right?
I was in there, bro.
Oh, woof.
I was about to get, I was about to get them foamy.
The foam tree.
The foam tree.
Since Antonio Brown's left the Steelers,
and I don't want to sound disrespectful,
but I will say like,
he seems completely delusional in his life.
It seems like nothing's this fault.
He refused to look in the mirror.
I would love to have him in the podcast to talk about it.
I think it's just
it's hard to watch a guy that was so successful
and then just kind of throw it all away
and not taking any accountability for his actions
because you watch that video
and he's like how is he going to throw me in the bus?
Like A, B, it's pretty easy to do that buddy.
Yeah, but kind of being interruptive kind of like,
no, yeah, but how's he going to throw me in that bus?
Yeah.
Like, come on.
You literally, you went, during the Jets game,
you literally left and was like hyping up the Jets crowd.
Yeah.
And like causing scenes and stuff like that.
And they went on a pod to talk about
you're not getting paid a certain amount of money, but other players are.
And then because he was like, you guys are overthinking it.
Like I'm basically just trying to take a photograph that was like a real moment and then sell for charity of like fatherless kids.
But weeks before that, you're posting the memes of Tom Brady leaving the house like the little children's book photo.
Like you're like taking jabs at Tom the whole time.
Yeah.
And even the fatherless kid thing is a jab at Tom.
Yeah, that's all you're playing into.
Like it's Tom's leaving his kids type of thing.
Yeah.
And it's just too much, dude.
Like somebody's family.
The way you said it thought, that was a good way of putting it all.
Like, it is tough to see somebody so successful doing that.
Because I think that's like, it's like I saw that.
I'm like, this dude's a fucking clown, man.
I really hope he goes somewhere.
Like, there's going to have to be a rock bottom situation.
I hope it doesn't involve anything of him hurting himself or somebody else.
But rock bottom is going to happen at some point in time.
But when he does hit that rock bottom, if he's able to find somebody to help him,
get some tools to become better or like know how to navigate through this life that he's dealing.
with in his shoes, life's going to be a whole lot better.
And I think if he's willing and able to do that eventually, then we need to embrace him
with open arms.
Because you can't fault the guy if something happened five, six, seven, eight years ago,
10 years ago.
And then keep holding it.
And hold it over his head if he's willing to take the time and learn and work through
things.
I think he's got issues and he's just got to figure his shit out.
Yeah, no, I agree, bro.
Like, it's all the stuff he's doing is really like, it's so stupid.
It's like clearly you're doing it for a lot of like publicity.
He's a rapper now.
Yeah.
And he's notorious for like, you know, he's showing his checks that he's making,
that he's being a rapper making all this money.
The dude's notorious out there for like not paying people back like when he buys stuff.
Yeah.
He's just like, it's a lot of clown show stuff.
A lot of clown show stuff.
And it sounds I always, it's always tough for me to say things about people
when I don't know them because you don't know what they're going through,
but it seems pretty cut and dry at this point.
Yeah.
He's got a bunch of demons.
He's got a bunch of demons.
He was going to work through.
You're saying like when people are trying to say, hey, let's the help thing, the mental side, like, people did a, like, an outcry type thing, like when he did leave and all that was going on for like a week.
And, like, he went on saying, like, everybody keeps talking about my mental.
He's like, my mental is great.
Like, this is like, this is who I am, blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, at some point, they show you who they are long enough.
Like, you just got to take that.
That's who they are.
It just seems like he's like a bad dude.
At this point, it's not like he can't change.
It's what it seems like.
Right now, bad dude.
Bad guy.
Yeah, like, if he's a.
hanging around enough. I'm pulling people aside. I'm like, hey, I don't know if this is the guy,
like we should be fucking hanging with. Yeah, that's a tough deal, man. I just hope she gets figured
out. Hope he hears this. Hope he gets mad about this. Because mad is just sadness, hiding.
Anger is just sadness. I like that. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So come on,
come up. Come on sit down. Come sit down with the boys. We'll have more boss with the boys. It'd be
awesome. Are we good on Antonio Brown? Can we pivot a little bit? We can pivot. I like to pivot
because I know we're running, we're running our faces off right now. We still have a couple
segments to do today. We need to talk about Derek Henry, the greatest running back in Tennessee
Titan history. Cemented, right? Cemented. Jack? Cemented. I don't know if it's cemented. Jack? I mean,
he's got the most touchdowns in franchise history. It's hard not to argue against it. I love that.
That was calm, cool, collected. My man, he just, he knew what he was doing right there. Jared?
He's well on his way. I think he definitely listened to the pod last week and got a little motivated.
Right there, G. Right there. That was thing. Garrett does a great.
great job of always keeping in mind what this podcast does for people and around the world,
especially the merch, is always good at bringing it home.
You did a great job there.
Amen.
Kansas State, you saw the ass beating they put on Oklahoma State.
We talked a lot of shit, we as in me.
We talked a lot of shit on Kansas State and they hung up like, they beat him like 35-0.
Did Adrian Martinez get hurt or do they bench him?
I don't know.
I didn't get to watch the game.
Because that's what was shocking to me is it wasn't even him in.
Oh, really?
No.
The backup who came in for him when he was hurt the week before did a really good job.
That's one thing you don't really need to worry about drama.
And I mean, I know we're just pivoting.
I'll love to get, I want to get back to that for sure.
But Adrian Martinez is like one of the boys.
Like he's not going to, he's not going to hang his head or mope if he, like,
lost his job or something.
He's like the perfect teammate.
Boom.
But the Derek Henry thing, I think he's well on his way, just like I said with Chris Johnson and.
So you're thinking if it ended right now, if the career was over right now, he wouldn't be number one?
I think it's arguable with Chris Johnson.
Yeah.
Again, 2,500 all-purpose yards.
No, that was a good point.
Like, Dave.
Again, it's like, Derek, it's like, you stack another year.
Like, he's obviously well on his way.
He doesn't get hurt last year.
He rings off four or five of these years in a row like he's doing right now.
It's like, yeah, it's not.
Can't touch him.
Yeah, you can't touch him.
And he's doing it with an extremely young offensive line.
Right.
Extremely young.
Right.
And again, like, you want one running back for a season out of any of the guys in franchise
history.
Like, it's Derek, no question.
No question.
Like, no disrespect to the boy Chris Johnson.
That's arguable, but you want to run behind.
You want to build your offense around Derek Henry.
Yeah, I agree with that 100%.
I agree with that 100%.
The dude's running pissed off too.
He is.
Like you saw when he got in the end zone yesterday,
he just stood up and he just had that fucking like LeBron James look going on.
Yeah.
Shit's personal.
Shit's personal to Derek right now.
You can just feel it.
Oh, yeah. Derek, he keeps receipts now.
Oh, does he ever?
He keeps receipts.
Absolutely.
What else we got on the docket here, boys?
Another person that keeps receipts.
you know he's going to keep receipts.
A.J. Brown.
Yeah.
The dude is fucking having a goddamn year.
A year.
And whether or not, like, now we can play armchair quarterback
because we can live in hindsight.
Like, hindsight's always 2020.
Always.
Like, yeah, he would have probably been worth every penny
if he was asking for way too much money
because it seems like,
remember we've talked about it before.
I know when Chris and them were on,
I was saying what I've heard is he was asking
for way more than that 25 a year mark,
which is like, it just, in that moment of time,
it didn't work out.
But like, looking back, it's like,
Damn.
Did have paid him.
Hey, Jay Brown.
He said, like, oh, damn.
Three touchdowns in one half.
And he's pointing to motherfuckers dog when he pointed.
I was like, him.
Bro.
You're not lying, dude.
When he pointed, I was like, him.
Yeah, him.
Like, that is savage as fuck.
Yeah, he's a fucking.
Hey, that's the NFL we want.
That's the NFL we need, dude.
It's not what we want.
It's what we fucking need.
That savage shit talking go-to.
He's a dog, dude.
He's a fucking dog.
And it's just crazy to see him having,
it's crazy to success.
like this. I know. It seems like he's having a fucking hell of a time out in Philly.
He's loving it. I hope he comes on the bus in the offseason.
Dude, his quarterback is a stud, and Philly is the most unforgiving fan base in the world from
what I've heard. And he is just making all of them fucking skyrocket boners right now.
He is...
They got some momentum happening. Like, it's like, it looks funny after the game.
Like, it's something to laugh at, but it's something like, oh, you just want to root for the
team because all the boys are on these bikes right after the game trying to recover to get ready
for Thursday night football.
And you're just like, this seems like a team who just, they know what's at stake.
Like they're trying to stack week after week.
Like, Jalen Hurst seems like a really good fucking leader.
Like, it's always, it's interesting to watch a player take command of a locker room and take
command of a huddle, like when coach gives him the floor.
Yeah.
And then the way, and then you watch the way Jalen Hertz handles the guys when they're around
him.
He doesn't ever shy away from being like, hey, I'm going to, this is the time and place to be real.
And it seems like all the guys look at him with that kind of respect.
And that's a team that's, like, dangerous.
You know when it's a little force.
Like when somebody gets up there
and they're kind of saying all the right stuff,
the company man stuff,
and you're kind of sitting back like,
all right,
we know you're the QB and stuff like that.
But it's different when the way Jalen sits there and talks
and the way he has everybody's eyes and ears
and everybody like nod in their head and shit,
it's like that's the fucking,
that's a team that is going to be tough.
I know, dude.
And Jason Kelsey too,
he's just fucking.
I know with the little Batman.
With the Batman thing,
throwing out pitches while Phillies crush it and base.
It's like,
damn, buddy.
It seems like they got some magical happening right now in Philly.
And they just traded for Robert Quinn.
He set a franchise record, a second franchise record for a second team.
And it's like, oh, he only has this many plays.
But he's getting double teamed all the time.
He's a stud.
Yeah.
He's got one move, Robert Quinn.
He's got one.
And he's so fucking good at it.
Yeah.
And Chris Long on the Green Light Pot was talking about how, like, he still has gas left
in the tank.
Like, obviously he studies pass rushers.
And he's like, this is a guy that's like going to fucking, this is a guy
Chris Collinsworth.
But he talks about how much gas he has.
left in the tank he's like this is gonna be this is a great move for philly like i i'm rooting for him
i'm kind of rooting for i know they're in the same division as the commanders but they're like fun to watch
bro buddy him pointing at those two right there is dog then they're doing these little dances together and
shit like a little drumline thing like and you know yeah you know those dances are taking place
on like friday like when they're like having fun and being like yeah we're about the dummy this team
like let's stay locked in and here's when we have fun he really do those thursdays and friday practice
is when guys are just, you can tell they got a loosest about them.
They're dialed in, but they're, like, having fun while beating ass.
Yeah.
Hey, J's.
How did, do you get taunting for that?
Yeah, you got a penalty.
I don't think it matters.
He had three times and a half.
You get three dogs, bro.
You should point out of the ref of that back.
Give me another one, dude.
Yeah.
Damn.
That's the NFL we want, boys.
That's the fucking NFL we want.
I think that is, uh, you could, you can argue right now with the bills.
Like, they're, the Eagles are the best team in the NFL.
Yeah, I mean
I don't think anybody saw that coming
When we were talking to the beginning of the season
You were giving us your
I believe you said it was Bill's Raiders
AFC championship was your
Buddy, I did not
And then you said Green Bay, Tampa Bay, right?
That was your...
Oh, I said Minnesota would win the...
I did say Minnesota would win the north
Minnesota's 6-1 now
I was wrong about a lot of shit
I was very wrong about the AFC West
I was like, Kinseys not gonna make the playoffs
They're number one in the division
I was like, what did I say?
I was like, Raiders number one,
Chargers number two, charges aren't even that great
Broncos are a tough team
Although they did pull out a nice one in London
They pulled out a nice little doubt
They rode in London
But it's not on American soil
Does it count?
I mean they're on a bye week
Right?
Does it really count?
It doesn't really count
But I think where it counts
Is Russell Wilson was basically submerged below water
Now he's breathing for a second
Yeah
He's got a stack another win
Because that was a big win
A second of the wind
That was a big win for Russ
The way from our sources
That all that shit you heard about
On the plane was real
Yeah the shit is factual
The heinous he was doing on the plane
and teammates were joining him.
Yep, I'm glad you brought that up.
Teammates were, it wasn't just Russell wasn't doing high knees.
Other Broncos players were joining him hitting the high knees.
They were doing calisthenics, keeping the blood flowing.
Which is outstanding because I'm guaranteed that locker room split in half.
A bunch of things guys think he's a fucking weirdo.
But the other half, the fact that he's got guys joining in on him, he hasn't lost the locker room yet.
He hasn't lost locker.
Yeah, that's a great.
That's great by us.
That's, hey, we did a good job there.
That's just inside of reporting.
That's journalism.
Yep, that's exactly what that is.
We really have it all here on Bustin with the boys.
another person that's been on this bus
and we root for big time.
He's hot.
He's hot to trial right now, Taylor Heineke.
The fucking comeback
dog against the Colts,
that does huge things for the Titans too.
Titans are just,
we're just separating ourselves right now.
Man.
But it's more about Taylor Heineke.
Sorry, go ahead.
Taylor Heineke,
absolute stud.
I like,
again, we had him on the bus.
Shout out the bus.
Shout out the bus.
Go check out that episode.
Yeah.
But the dude is like playing with house money,
basically.
Like, you're somebody that everybody's rooting for.
You got backup and everything.
like that.
You get your opportunity.
You pull off two wins in a row.
Like, he's got to be like,
he's got to be the man out in D.C.
Right now.
He's got to be the man in D.C.
When you got the crowd,
the boys run for you,
everything else,
like, I hope they continue to win.
I think they're going to have a tough road.
I mean,
the commanders is not like they're like
an insanely good football team.
Yeah.
But with Taylor Heineke,
like,
you get a little bit,
you get a little bit of that confidence going,
man, like you could be dangerous.
He's dangerous.
He's a guy that thrives on confidence.
He's a guy that thrives on good vibes.
Yeah.
we need to send them a box of shirts.
Yeah, I agree with that 100%.
We need to send him a boxer shirts for sure.
I, um, what happens with Carson Wentz now?
Is Carson Wentz done?
Is he dead like the Raiders?
Whoa, how, what did he hurt?
Is he out for the year?
Oh, Mitch.
Wow, Mitch saying he shouldn't play.
I don't know what's wrong with him, but he shouldn't play.
I tell you what, that's, uh, and that's like a good kind of topic to speak on, I don't,
you could probably talk on it from when you were, I don't really know what your rookie
first two-year situation was.
But when you're somebody who's like the starter, but you're not like the locked in starter,
whenever you're injured, there's like an anxiety.
I can imagine Carson's going through this.
There's like an anxiety that you had because your best ability is availability.
And the longer you're out and they see somebody else, the more that they can easily put in somebody else.
Like with Taylor rattling off two wins and everybody kind of believing in the dream,
you can sit back and back.
Should we go with this guy?
He's got the hot hand because you're not a solidified starter.
Anytime I was injured, like the, you know, I mean, I've talked about it multiple times,
about playing on my PCL.
Yeah.
One year when I was like,
yeah, dog,
came back in nine days.
They shouldn't have,
but there was an anxiety of like,
I,
you know,
the guy right behind me
makes a couple of plays
I could be, like, gone.
There's like always that anxiety
you, like, live with it.
I'm sure Carson could be going through it,
but that's a good point.
It's like,
even if he is healthy,
do you play Carson Wins
because Taylor has been bawling?
Yeah, it's going to be crazy
if he keeps a streak up like he is
and then Carson Wins
gets healthy to come back.
You think they put Carson Wins back in
because of the money,
but if you're going to,
he doesn't have immediate success,
they're calling for Taylor.
Correct.
Immediately.
Immediately.
That's just the way it works, boys.
It really is the way it goes.
There's,
when I first started getting the job with Kenan Robinson,
he hurt his shoulder.
But the boy was playing well.
And I was literally thinking in my head,
like, man, he better,
if he wants the spot,
like he needs to not milk this injury anymore.
I'm not saying he was milking the injury.
Yeah, but you know what you're saying.
Yeah, you know what I mean.
You're like thinking like, damn,
he better come back.
I know, you kind of watched.
I've been in the locker room a bunch of times.
the guys that are like real confident what they have and then you see the guy behind them
start playing well and they're like, oh, I'm straight, I'm straight.
Right, they're kind of delusional about it.
Yeah.
Brother, that's not how this league works.
And you kind of look around like the body heat, he might have your job.
Yeah.
He might take that shit and turn off.
He does.
Unless you have like a top contract at your position.
Right.
Like everything is exactly what you're talking about right now with Carson Wentz.
He's got a top contract.
He's paid.
Does he have like a top quarterback contract?
I don't know if it's top, top, top paid money, but it's enough money where you can't
have that kind of money on the bench.
True.
Oh, no way.
And they're paying, I think they pay Taylor a few million a year.
Yeah.
He's getting a nice little backup back.
He's getting backup back.
He's getting backup back.
I don't want to, I don't want to quote him a Chris Long on the Greenlight
podcast.
He did comments on Taylor Heineke saying that he was a talented guy.
I might be butchering this, but I think he said he's not a starter in this
lead though, like a long-term starter in the league.
I think that's...
Or there's a ceiling to him.
And I, I almost am 100% butchering.
I might be completely off.
But I think he was saying that.
And it's like, I don't know.
Yeah, the reason like that stuff, I feel like happens is you get boxing
something because of his tangible, because of his like tangible numbers.
Unless you're somebody like Taylor's size and you're playing like Drew Brees,
who's like an undersized guy.
Yeah.
Because, again, it's like, is he tall enough to see over the line of scrimmage,
see certain windows?
All that stuff plays into it from a scouting perspective.
Probably.
One of this dude sits there and rattles off wins and find ways to win and is creative
the whole time, that kind of takes care of itself.
So it's kind of like, the best thing is the ball's in your court.
Yeah.
If you're Taylor Hineke, like you look at this situation, the ball's in your court.
People can say, I'm not a starter, but you're going to get paid well as a backup from here on out
because you're proving that you can come in and win games at any moment.
You could be a bottom, like, you know, 27 and 32 quarterback starter in the league.
Somebody could use you.
Somebody out there's, like, struggling with a quarterback could see you would be like,
no, fuck all that bullshit.
Like, we'll bring him in and we'll give him a job and see how he plays as a starter.
Yeah.
You almost think Hineke did Patriots.
With him under Bill Belichick would look pretty insane.
Yeah, yeah.
It is kind of a deal.
I hope Taylor gets fucking broke off a little bit.
I hope he gets on that Matt Castle program.
Yeah.
Or he's kind of like.
Arthur Smith looks at him.
Hey,
I don't know,
but you get the goat.
Yeah,
Marri Gota.
That's true.
That's true.
Yeah,
Marcus,
I think Marcus is doing the same thing.
Margus and Heineke are two totally different personalities
that are doing the same thing and being powered by the same thing.
No one believes in you so you can just go out in there and sling it and boom,
they're doing their fucking what they need to do to make money.
Yeah.
They're literally complete different personalities powered by the same
fuel. So I'm fucking all about both, though.
Powered by the same fuel. Huh?
I don't know about that.
In a different situation? Was he drafted
the first round? Yeah, he was the second overall pick in
2015. That's what I'm saying. Heineke wasn't. So
he will like always be put in the box of the scouting element of not good
enough. Marcus could start bawling and be like, this is the guy that people saw
when he was a high round grade. High round grade.
Yeah. I agree with that. Or he could get more money based on
higher ceiling. Yeah, higher ceiling.
I do think, but at the same time, if you look at their stock,
like when Atlanta picked up Marcus, they're like, oh, they need to start, what's his name?
Whoever they, they, they drafted a quarterback in the first round?
I think they, yeah, they're like, oh, this guy needs to start.
Now, Marcus is doing, he's doing a great job.
I'm assuming upper management is eventually going to say, hey, this Ritter kid has got to play.
Like, we drafted him the first round, he's got to be our guy.
Right.
But Marcus is doing everything and more that he needs to do to go get paid somewhere else.
Right.
And go do his thing.
Right.
Yeah. Like it's not an Aaron Rogers situation where you draft a first rounder and it's like, hey, should we play him? It's like, hey, hang on. Like Aaron Rogers still wants to play football.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But I do. That's a good point bringing up Marcus winning the Heism and the heism, having the pedigree he does getting drafted second overall in 2015. There is a different look to both of them. You say, oh, this kid's a baller, Heineke. He just balls. He goes out there. He lays it on the line. He'll run over dudes, jump over dudes. Do whatever he can to win. But this guy's had a much higher feeling. So who do you take? Because the upside to this guy's a lot more. Right.
I still think you take Marcus over Heineke, but I believe that's a little bit of my bias coming in there too.
But that's what's going to happen with coaches anyway.
Like some coach is going to look at Heineke and be like, no, I think this is the, it's like the whole saying,
you only need one to like you.
Like some front office might look at it like, we look at the situation back, oh, let's go with him, let's go with in this situation, Marcus.
But another coach would be like, hey, I'm telling you like this, he got a dip in his lip or something like that.
I like that Hanuky.
Yeah, he's got some shit to him.
Yeah.
Some shit to him.
Yeah.
But I think he just keep getting powered by it because they both have nothing to live.
lose. The rest, there's nothing to lose in the situation they're in right now, and they're powered
by some of the best thing you can be backed in the corner thinking, no one believes in you.
Yeah, God. God's got you back to the corner. What are you going to do? You know what I'm saying?
There's no more leaving it up to God's plan. Yeah. This is now, I got to take that. There's no more
Jesus taking the wheel. Right, right, right. But you're right. They're in the perfect situation because
the ball's in their court. Guys, breaking news, we get to do a Ryan Reynolds ad,
ad, Mint Mobile, after years of fine print contracts and getting ripped off by the big wireless

So when I first heard about Mint Mobile, Ryan, Ronald, shout out the point out for your
shots, but come on the bus.

Thank you.
Have a great day.
Hey, this has been a fun pot.
We've been watching some ball.
We've been watching some ball.
A lot of ball been talked about right now.
And some player perspective situations.
I do. Oh, the one thing I want to talk
before we start hitting tear talk
and shout out for shoutout
is Nebraska.
And I know it's,
We have not.
We have not talked about Nebraska.
I know we've jumped around quite a bit.
To be honest with you, the listeners know.
There's really no organization of this thing.
But there's a fly again.
A fly is now ripping around the whole entire bus.
Nebraska, we're in a rebuild year?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
Because there was a couple weeks there.
You're saying the Big Ten West is up for grabs.
It was.
At that time.
At that time.
At that time.
It was open.
Yeah.
Narratives changed all the time based on situations.
I get it.
And you know how it is.
I feel like I'm a vessel to like carry the flag of Nebraska because nobody else will.
Everybody ships on us.
Everyone's afraid of it.
Yeah.
Everyone's afraid of the burden.
We're in, like, I need to give perspective to everybody because we're in a, we're in
the fight for the West.
Yeah.
We've dropped a couple games.
It doesn't seem like it's going to go our way.
How do you salvage the rest of the year?
Obviously, you got the bus and ball coming up.
But, yes, speaking directly about Nebraska, like, we're clearly in a rebuild year.
We're like, we're fucking, we're trying to, we're trying to survive in advance right now.
I hope the boys have some life in that locker room because there's still, like, a lot to play for.
There's a lot of ball left, too.
There's a lot of ball left.
Like, you know, seniors, everybody included.
You know how it is.
Yeah.
You don't just want everybody to check out.
But it's tough, man.
Somebody to keep your eye on.
We've said it before.
Coach Clyman, Kansas State.
To Nebraska.
Yeah.
To me...
Who's the interim coach in Nebraska?
Mickey Joseph.
Okay, so Mickey Joseph.
We're a little...
Not in a disrespectful way,
but we think he's maybe not the best...
No, no, no.
He's in the running.
I'm talking about just other coaches around.
I've heard a lot of good stuff about Coach Joseph.
He's obviously just being dealt a completely shitty hand middle of the year.
Like, let's see what we can do.
It seems like the guys love...
playing for him. Everything I've heard is like the locker room loves like playing for Coach Joseph.
It's just you got to string some wins together if you're going to actually be considered.
But you don't know. You don't know what the relationship is between the head coach and the AD.
And as bad as it's been in Nebraska for so many years, it's still a premium job to have.
Guys are going to pack up their shit, take their families and head over to Lincoln, given the opportunity.
Because I've brought up climbing and a couple others before and everybody's like, why would they leave there?
And it's like, well, they would leave there because I bet they're getting underpaid at the ed said school.
Yeah.
It's like climbing in a Canadian state.
I wonder how much are you even paying climbing.
And not only that, but how much are they paying the assistance?
Because I know, I know when Nebraska's got that wallet, you can aggressively come at a coach.
You can aggressively be like, oh, you might be getting paid well that you think.
So how are your assistance getting paid?
Oh, we will pay them too.
Because it's kind of like a little fraternity thing with the coaches when they all pack up and move.
It is.
It is like that.
Yeah.
And I think if Nebraska is going to get somebody, they need to get somebody from like a, and I hate
saying lower tier program, but you're not going to get somebody from like some of these big dog
head coaches in the, in the Big Ten, the SEC and stuff. You're not going to be able to wow them
away from their recruiting situation that they have going on. You're going to have to get somebody
that's built a solid program at a program that's seen as more of like a middle tier program.
Right. No disrespect to Kansas State. I'm just, obviously, I'm just a little bit.
You just start doing it a little bit, but it's also like look at the history of both football
programs. Like obviously you want to be at Nebraska more than Kansas State. Right.
Not saying Kansas State can't become that program eventually. Now, Nebraska
needs to do is they need to start crushing those NIL deals.
They need to start getting those fucking players
paid like crazy because there's
not a whole lot to be like,
hey, come to Nebraska right now.
Because just the way it's gone the last
15 years. Well, since you were there.
Yeah, which is getting close to 15.
That's crazy. Isn't that wild? It's getting
close to 15 years there. We'll say last decade.
In the last decade, it's hard.
Now, Lincoln, the town, those guys
fucking bleed right over there. You will not
like, it would be hard
to find a more loyal fan base than
Nebraska fan base. You have that going for you.
The stadium is always packed. You have that
going for you. But the game
and these players are getting so much more.
Football itself. It's just changing so
much. You need a bigger draw to Nebraska.
You start getting these guys high six figure
NIL deals. They're going to come running.
You need to, yeah, you need to get
some of the best fucking minds
just to run the NIL situation.
And then you need to bring a football coach. Which I think they kind of
have. Just wants to coach football and
fucking build culture. Right. They might have
it, but everybody's kind of in the Wild West right now.
Like you need, you don't need the football program
or anybody in the football offices
thinking about the NIL stuff going on.
You need some fucking cat people over there.
You need some money ball motherfuckers, dude.
Yeah.
Be like, how are we going to exploit
what we have here in Nebraska
to pay everybody else fucking top dollar stuff
to get them here?
Because we might have to come out of our pocket a little bit more.
We might need to up our budget a little bit more
like the A&Ms of the world.
And then you need a football coach
that's just going to fucking coach football
and throw a middle finger at the NIEL.
That's what you need at Nebraska.
You need a college football Mike Rable.
Yeah, we need fucking Boepline.
Oh
That would be something else, dude
Bring back Bo T.1.
The last time Bo was there
was when they were successful.
You don't think Bo would go though, huh?
No, Bo wouldn't go.
No, Bo wouldn't go.
He was hurt.
Made for the right price.
You never know,
especially if I was in his ear.
You're like, hey, Bo, let's go do this thing.
You think you get a job there, huh?
The most of the afternoon moved to Nebraska.
Yeah, yeah.
The boy's like, fuck, dude.
We got to live in Lincoln now, dude.
Hey, Taylor, just let me take it.
Think about this, dude.
What do you think about Lincoln, Nebraska?
No, but you're right?
Right, though. You need like a Vrabble type.
You need a guy that's just going to fucking, it's all ball, man.
It's all a ball.
There's no pussy putting around situation, showing a blight to this, going and doing that,
putting other things above the program.
You need fucking a football-minded motherfucker in there.
You really need that for sure.
Should we get into our favorite segments?
It's time for our favorite segments of the week.
I believe you guys want to go to your talk.
Can we talk about your mustache?
I guess.
You cut your mustache.
I know, dude.
It just shows how good of a father I am.
I really am the ultimate dad.
like my daughter really wanted to be a witch for Halloween
and the Sanderson sisters were obviously the go-to
and Taylor goes
you want to be Billy the boy zombie
I go no I want to be a Sanderson sister
so fucking make me make me marry
maybe the thick girl I want to be her
I was that's the question I had I was like
why didn't Taylor do the zombie dude and Miss Tanna
No I didn't want to be a witch dude
I wanted to fucking be in it so Willow was the black cat
Miss Tanna my mother-in-law
she was the zombie
and then me Tailing and Wynn
fucking were the Sanderson sisters
Now, I told Taylin at first, I was like, I don't really want to do makeup.
It's going to be so hard to get it all off my face.
And I saw Tayloran come out with her makeup, but I was like, I got to do makeup.
I got to do makeup.
So I went in there and this girl, her name is, I think it might be Kitty or Cookie.
Her name's cookie.
Her name is Cookie.
And she did the makeup.
She's like, it's going to be, she goes, it looks so much better if you didn't have a mustache.
And it took, I'm an impulsive guy.
I literally made the decision in 0.5 seconds, walked over there, took it off.
And then makeup went on.
And I went through the whole night.
thinking about it, but the minute the night ended, the kids were, the kids were to sleep,
the Michigan State game, concluding.
I literally took the makeup off my face and I go, what the fuck are you doing out here, dude?
Who are you?
You piece of shit?
Who are you?
I walked over, I laid in bed and Taylor and starts like, I don't even know who the fuck you are.
Like, you look so much younger and so this.
And loki in my head, I'm like, does she like me like this better?
Yeah.
But fuck that, dude.
I don't care who likes me.
I want my mustache back.
Does she like you better with the mustache?
No, she said she likes the mustache better.
But she literally goes like, I feel like I'm cheating on my husband right now.
And I was like, come on, come, come get you done, dude.
Crush the costume.
But it was pretty awesome.
I had the face down.
I literally was trying to do the face in the mirror for a little bit.
It was a fun deal.
But you fully sold out.
I loved it.
I told you yesterday, I thought you looked absolutely hideous.
But like, you had to love the full commitment to the cost of the costume.
Yeah, I had the mole and everything, had the face going.
It was a solid deal.
It looked like you just got done with the cycle of hormones and all you had to do less because of surgery.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel what you're saying.
your boys in the middle of the transition
on Saturday night.
It was a bit of a deal, dude.
I just really hope by the time
the boys pack up and head over to Michigan
for the Boston Bowl that I have
some remnants of a mustache showing
because I just so feel like I can walk down in Ann Arbor.
I'm sure you will.
With this fucking face, dude.
God, I hate it.
I miss my mustache.
You look good.
You're a mustache guy for sure.
I'm a mustache guy.
I'm a really am.
I can't wait too.
I feel like I'm getting to that point of my life
or I'm just like a dad with a mustache now.
And it's killer.
Especially when it gets to summertime
and he does a whole shirt tucked into the short
shorts and you got a stash going on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You have a nice little, like a moose knuckle.
The shorts are a little too high towards splitting your nuts and half.
That's where I want to be.
So we got a lot to look forward to.
Yeah.
Bust and Bow's going to be lit.
It's going to be lit, dude.
And just to go back to the Nebraska thing, you want to salvage, you want to salvage your season,
beat Michigan.
No question.
Yeah.
Again, there is still a lot to play for.
Like, taking home that trophy would be a massive deal.
That line is going to be insane.
But the line's going to be favorable, I think, for Indubrashire.
Yes. By the way, did we not fucking win that by half a point?
Bro, so when I was doing Bet the Bus, I was like, you guys know your boy.
I was doing the whole thing. Like, you guys know your boy, I'm probably going to roll a money line.
Like, I hate kind of navigating you guys to bad waters. I'm not going to do it because, you know, we're trying to make money.
It's not personal. It's just business.
Yeah, I go, take that line. It's like the Nebraska game. I said, take that line and move it as far in favor that you came when Nebraska was like, Nebraska plus 17 and a half.
they lost by 17.
I know.
It was like, oh, thank God.
It's good, dude.
Those prayers are truly working out for you, dude.
Oh, bro.
Those prayers are really working out, dude.
God.
And you're up.
You're over 500 for sure, right?
Yeah, I'm up.
We're net positive.
You've been betting with Bet the Bust,
you're net positive in your sportsbook account.
I love it.
I can't wait to be a part of it.
Yeah, it's going to be here.
Take it a little quick break.
Shout out the boys at Duke Cannon.
No free shout out to the boys at Duke Cannon.
Look, I've been working out.
morning, I wasn't able to use my Duke Cannon. You want to know what happens when you don't use
Duke Cannon? This is what fucking happens when you don't use Duke Cannon because they got a dry
ice deodorant that keeps you cool, calm, and collected all day long. It's like having that
air AC unit right up under your armpits. And it kind of worries you because you think you are sweating,
but you're actually not sweating. But as you can see, I'm not wearing my Duke Cannon today.
They also, their products that I absolutely love when I get home and I'm going to take a shower.
I'm going to use their big ass brick of soap, their little Buffalo trace one. I'm going to
use their scented cologne. What's the sandalwood? The sandalwood scented clone.
alone. It's my absolute favorite. I took it from the little mini spray spritzer to now I got a big bottle
of it. It's that good, boys, I'm telling you. I also use their thickening hair shampoo.
And as you can tell, yes, it's got some work to do, some work, but Duke Cannon's thickening
hair shampoo has kept this on my head. I'm 33 years old, boys. I'm still living pretty damn good,
and it's because of the thickening hair shampoo from Duke Cannon. Check out Duke Canada at any target
or on Duke Canada.com and use code bussen for 15% off your first order. That's Duke
DuCannon.com. Use code Bustin for 15% off your first order. Duke Cannon, not for clowns.
Regardless of what I didn't know to think about that, dude, it is time.
For our favorite segment of the week, shout out. Please stop talking.
Of the week. As always, we start with the man himself.
What do you got, kid?
Gersh McAfry.
I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted to shout out the Niners or not for going all in, but I won't.
That for next week.
My shout out this week, in honor of it being Halloween,
my shout out goes to those people who go above and beyond for those Halloween costumes,
whether it's teaming up with the family and as a male,
dressing up as a female, which I think that's going above and beyond.
But I saw a costume in specific that I thought was pretty cool.
It was somebody dressed up as a Super Mario brother,
and he had clear post coming up from his shoulders.
question mark above his head.
And I thought, damn, that's awesome.
That's going above and beyond.
So my shout-out, no free shout-out goes to those people who go above and beyond.
Boss, that was a fucking solid one, dude.
You came out with some heavy, heavy heat today.
We all saw it hiding in plain sight, the San Francisco thing.
I'm glad you diverted and went to that.
That was pretty good.
Jackie, what you got, buddy?
Y'all mentioned y'all went out last night, had a good time, had a couple drinks.
We also, this weekend, went out a few times.
And so once kind of the smoke settles and all the like Halloween madness is over,
the hangover starts setting him.
My shout out, no free shoutout goes to the weather, though.
When you wake up, the day or a couple of days post-drinking,
and it's super gloomy.
It's a little rainy.
You know, there's no sunshine in sight.
And I just love when the weather responds correctly to how you're already feeling.
So you can just not even think about getting out there in the sun.
You just know you're just locked in for the day.
So thank you.
you today for being pretty gloomy
on this nice Halloween. Interesting.
How do you feel about that one, Will?
I feel like he said something like weather before.
Something similar.
See, me personally, I like it if I do go out.
Then next day it would be super sunny because it keeps the,
you know, the vitamin D keeps the vibes high for me.
If it's like a Saturday, sure.
I was going to say like today on a month,
like today if I would have woke up with the Monday scurries,
I'd have been like fucking, oh God.
It was really sunny today.
Especially on Halloween,
but where Halloween falls today,
I think it was a nice time.
I can get on board with that.
I can get on board with that.
I kind of like a sunny day Halloween vibe.
Because the, the, like a muggy Halloween.
Not a rainy Halloween, but like, you, like, you just explained.
Because, because the, uh, the school party vibes.
The Halloween party vibes at school.
The sunny out, you're all excited to go trick-or-treating.
I don't know what day lands on for it being Monday.
Yeah.
That's pretty solid, dude.
That's a pretty, that's a pretty solid deal.
Mitch, what do you got, brother?
So I don't know how relatable mine will be because, I mean, it doesn't really, like, you got,
Yeah, you guys didn't do that.
Yeah.
So I went back home this weekend, went up to my school's homecoming,
and we played Susquehanna University.
That's where I went.
And we played Johns Hopkins.
We were ranked number 19, and they were ranked number seven.
We beat them.
And so it was a huge game.
It's the first time we're going to win the conference if we won one of the next two games
in like 13 years or so.
But my shout, I know if you shout, it goes to D3 football.
because the kids that are playing D3,
the grinders.
They know there's no shot of them
necessarily making it to the next level.
Whereas you go to D1,
that's a possibility.
Like you go to D1 to possibly play in the NFL.
Like D3, you're literally doing it for the love of the game.
There's nothing else to do other than like,
your job is football and like it just love it
and you just play it to love it.
So my shout out goes to playing.
D3 football and just the grinders out there that are in D3.
All right, man.
I like that like that one.
That was solid.
Almost had nothing to do with going home for homecoming.
Tanner Techninia is on the back.
I don't want to shout out Susquehanna, but like shout out Susquehanna.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
No, I feel.
Yeah.
Dude, I had a handful of guys go to Redlands College in California at D3 school and they, hey,
it was the love of the grind for them.
They just wanted to keep the dream alive for a few more years.
Yeah.
Got to fucking, I respect that one.
I respect and love that one.
Tanner and Nadey-Nedia is on the,
the back of the bus right now. He's already said he doesn't have one.
So I'm going to pass him.
He will have his own tier talk.
We are now going to Gary.
Oh, perfect.
Yeah.
So you are stealing my...
No, I'm going to do different.
What do you...
No.
You see, troll.
It's a perfect example.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So my shout-out, no free shout-out this week.
He's going to go to, in my opinion,
one of the scariest, smallest humans on the planet.
Coach Nick Sabin's birthday,
falls on Halloween.
So happy birthday, Nick Saban.
God damn it.
Yes, sir.
Just an average SEC school.
Just shouting out an average SEC football team of 2022, dude.
That is part of the toughest take yet.
Yeah.
My shout out, no free shout out,
goes to pumpkin cream cold bruise.
Tell them, kid.
Dude, I don't know if the season's going to end
at the end of October.
I hope they continue to dish them out
because I love them.
If not, I'm going to pivot
to chocolate cream cold brews
because I think those are fabulous as well.
But I get a venty,
for anybody out there wants to know my order,
a venty pumpkin cream cold brew,
two pumps vanilla,
not three, two pumps,
and then I get extra foam
because the foam is king.
Who'd at?
NFL nurse.
I guess somebody from workers cops calling.
bags.
But that's my shot on no free shot.
dude, pumpkin cream cold bruise.
Because you never know how much longer we're going to have them.
Yeah.
It's great when it's seasonal too because it adds to the spooktober vibes.
You know those things come out.
You know you're getting them.
They are fantastic.
And the foam really is set apart.
Now, Tanner, who is in the back of the bus, he tells me I hate pumpkin.
I don't like the taste.
I was like, oh, you hate fall.
I said, just try it.
Just try it.
And with JP.
And he was mad about it.
I gave him a sip and he takes a deep breath.
He goes, that's just pretty good.
Yeah.
It's really like that.
He had the same reaction.
It's really good.
It is a really good one.
Because you do got the pumpkin theme fall haters, bro.
That, like, I hate everything.
When people come out with, like, pumpkin spice all this, pumpkin spice that.
But, dude, a pumpkin cream cold brew?
Yeah.
If you're going to speak to any of the mic.
The pump was pretty good.
Yeah.
Appreciate that.
That's what we try to say three times in the mic.
The phone was pretty good.
I want to make it to try, but it was worth it.
Yeah.
I thought, yeah, it's fantastic.
I really, like today I wouldn't get your coffee.
And I was thinking to myself, I'm just going to get your classic ice latte with almond milk.
But I knew today is.
spooktober. I can't. I had to. So I had
one, and I missed it so
much. Two hours later, I showed up with his bus, and you're giving me
another one. It was a big, hey.
Your boy Saturday night, and that's probably why I'm pitting
so hard right now, dude. I got a lot of
a lot of caffeine. All right.
My shout-out, of the week
goes to
someone's in need, and they need your
vehicle. They need to borrow your vehicle.
So you let them have it, but you know deep down in your heart,
you're fucking bummed out because you know you're going to have to
change your seat, you're going to have to change the
mirrors. You're going to have to re-go through the entire process for you to get back into that
comfortability spot. So my shout-out, no free shout-out, goes to when that individual returns the
vehicle and everything's exactly where it was before. The mirrors aren't changed. Your seats in the
same spot. And you know that individual for me is usually a lot shorter than me. They had a tough time,
but they had the wherewithal to know that this man likes his vehicle a certain way to stay comfortable.
And that's an outstanding feeling. It's a good one. Thank you, sir. Now I'm sure we get to do this
ad read real quick. All right. Quick break to show.

Back to the episode.
And we're back.
Yeah, now we go on to another favorite of the show.
Here talk, baby.
Here talk.
Last week, we did Best Halloween Candies.
For those of you watching listening right now,
I know it's November 1, but listen,
when we're filming this right now, it's Spooktober,
and there's a lot of things that are going to happen to you.
You're going to have such a great day with your kids,
or if you're an adult that wants a trick or treat still,
hey, good on you.
You're going to get a bunch of candies.
You're going to have those headers that are going to go away real fast.
But you know, mid-November,
that bottom of the bag is going to be looking real tough.
You're going to have some ones in there like,
you're going to have some ones in there like,
I don't need this.
It's going to end up in the trash.
Or you'll probably just get to eat them for a little bit.
Or it'll sit there all year round.
It might.
It might.
That pillow case is going to be looking tough around February.
It can be looking real tough.
There's a couple candies in here.
I will not eat.
So I know there's some discretion in the back of the bus.
Is the back of the bus doing one or is it just Tanner?
Just Tanner?
And then you guys are all the judges of these?
All right.
You're co-signing.
Should we let Tanner go first?
I hate that face you're making, Jack?
I fucking hated that face, dude.
So smug.
What are you?
Like, you just, his whole,
comments about oh we claim Tanner because
the king-sized candy bar last week
and like oh we're co-sunning. He has this
fucking smug beautiful mustache grin
on him. What a piece of shit.
Yeah, we will say that king
size candy bars disqualified you left.
You guys lost. They did, bro.
That was a terrible take.
It's a fucking
dictatorship.
Whoa, dude. Whoa.
Hey, should I go first so Tanner understands the game?
How about you go first? I'll go second, tenor goes last.
Okay, that's fine me.
All right, my, let me get my phone out for my list.
Give me a second.
You want me to go?
All right, here we go.
My tier talk for worst candies on Halloween to get on Halloween,
I'm going to give an honorable mention.
So this would be labeled as number four.
That honorable mention is to a little pack of smarties.
I think there's a time in place to have smarties
where they kind of like lighten your mood a little bit.
But on Halloween, your boy being a little chocolate junkie,
I'm pretty pissed off when I get smarties in a little packet.
it. My tier three. My tier three is Smarties. I'm looking at my phone now. I have tier three specifically Smarties.
What do you mean? So, do you have four on that list? No, I have three, but I thought Smarties was going to be my
honorable mention because I thought I had another one on here, but I don't. That Smarties is.
Smartis is my three. All right. There's no honorable mention for this ship.
He sucks so bad. You got it twice, dude.
Legit, they might have to be your tier one now. All right, my tier.
Two, wax cola bottles.
Not a fan of the wax cola bottles.
I understand there's different flavors involved that can lighten your mood a little bit.
But again, your boy is a chocolate junkie.
I think wax cola bottles are garbage.
Yes, you can bite them off.
I think they kind of hurt your teeth because you're trying to, like, grind them off at times.
I think when you try and spin them without going your mouth first, you try to spin them,
it takes fucking forever.
And you don't get, you don't get much bang for your buck there.
You got to do the whole trick-or-treat thing.
Like, you're walking, like, am I going to dress up?
Am I dressing up on Halloween and walking my ass, putting in my steps all around town so I can get wax bottles?
Yeah.
Like, no, bro.
I'm not trying to get fucking wax cola bottles in my Halloween bag.
That's my tier two.
My tier one, and I will not.
I think this is the worst taste in the world.
And it's black licorice.
You get black licorice, dude.
Like, I'm getting mad thinking about it.
My blood just boils a little bit.
It's probably the caffeine too.
It's a slap in the face.
Getting black licorice is a slap in the face to you as a human.
If anybody ever offers, I don't care where you're at,
if it's a nursing home, any of that.
You get off for black licorice, it's a fucking sign of disrespect.
So that's my tear talk.
Boss?
Amen.
Hmm.
Eh.
He's such a piece of shit.
He's so smart.
Sweets.
What the fuck?
What was that, man?
Hey, yeah.
This are time.
Sorry.
Smarties.
Strong.
Conviction.
All right.
Hey, we'll talk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
For sure, for sure.
Okay.
Let me spit out these ends.
Which, by the way, would be the best Halloween Sunday.
Okay, here's my honorable mention.
And I'm double-checking.
I have four for sure.
Because I don't want to maybe go down that same situation.
The only reason why these individuals are an honorable mention is because I don't think they
really make a big, they don't show up a whole bunch in the Halloween candy category.
Whenever you do get these things, it's fucking disgusting.
You should try it once, and then once you get through it, it's like,
this is like chalk and foam, I'm not sure,
and that goes to the circus peanut.
Those fucking squishy peanut-looking little orange bastards,
you buy it and you think, what am I even tasting here?
And you buy, it's like you can't even finish one.
It's disgusting.
That is my honorable mention.
The only reason why I didn't make the list is because it doesn't have a huge showing on Halloween,
so I didn't want to respect the game.
My tier three.
Those things are garbage.
bitch.
Right?
I had to look them up.
God,
those are garbage, right?
Thank you.
My tier three is,
your boy loves a taste of coconut.
I really do.
I think coconut's fantastic.
I love it in a pinocalada.
I love it in a Pina Colada.
I love it in Caba with the boys,
having a nice little,
you know,
fruity drink,
maybe some fruit stuff on there
and I'm sipping away.
I'm having an absolute blast.
I like the texture.
I like the consistency.
But something about a fucking almond joy,
dude,
is so yucky to me, dude.
That's just,
It's just fucking gross.
The chocolate, I get at, my boy's a chocolate fiend.
I'm not as much of a chocolate fiend,
but I do appreciate it and love chocolate.
That all together, I think,
you put that in a king,
even put that in a king size candy bar.
That thing's absolute horseshit, dude.
That is my tier three.
My tier two are these
Mike and Ike wannabe motherfuckers, dude.
These little pill-looking things,
you look at me,
they probably like Mike and Ix,
and Mike and I kind of hit.
Even the tropical Mike and Ix kind of hit.
But good in plenies,
those chalky,
white and pink pieces of shit, dude.
When they go in your mouth, you can't get the taste out for the entire day.
Disgusting.
Every time I see them in my Halloween treat basket, I am fuming, which brings me to my
tier one.
And it's going to look real similar to yours.
I am co-signing on what Will Compton said about the black licorice.
You could be at a funeral home, at an old folks home.
You could be in a place where people are supporting each other.
And if someone pulls out of a black licorice and says, you want one of the
these, that person's disrespecting you, you should immediately get in a fight with them.
Immediately getting a fight.
If someone hands you a black licorish, that's basically saying, fuck you and your family.
That shit is so disgusting.
I can't stand it.
And yeah, it's the caffeine, but I'm a little hot right now.
Black licorish is the middle finger.
It is the middle finger of candies.
Why don't even make him?
Because trolls.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We should start passing out like black lucorous for like people we don't like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like that, actually.
Antonio Brown, here's some black liquorish.
Antonio Brown, Kanye black licorice guys.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, that was tough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We should probably navigate that.
I didn't mean it like that.
I didn't mean it like that.
Why you say I'm just black people for black licorish?
All right.
Tanner, the way he's a hater, he'd be a black licorish guy today.
There you go.
He does like to hate it.
Do you see that turbulence we hit there?
Yeah.
Woo!
All right.
I feel safe for now.
I cannot wait to hear yours, Tanner.
Oh, yeah, one word.
One word.
Oh, Garrett.
Agreed.
Exactly.
Sure.
Oh, dear.
What?
Solid.
Strong.
No one needs to excel for that long.
You're just singing of hurtful words.
Wow.
After Tanner's, I got to unpack that with you.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm excited about the conversation.
Oh, yeah.
Just throws me for a loop, brother.
All right.
For those of you don't know, Tanner, Tagnini,
we've known he says we were five years old.
He's got a mullet by choice.
He's never lost a bet in his life.
He is saying there also that little mark on the bottom of his neck.
is from a paintball shot.
He doesn't have some sort of weird deal going on with his skin.
Lepercy.
Yep, he's got a...
That is a mustache.
He also chose to have my man looking like a little bit like a ferret right now.
Let's see what you got, Tanner.
Okay, so...
Tucan tan. Let's go, brother.
I mean, that's how you're going to start it.
Wrong with you, dude?
Oh, my God.
You disrespectful.
Hey, that's a black-licorish comment.
That's a black-liquish comment.
I think we should
I think you had the four
No no no
I've got my three but
I think we should
You don't have to do an honorable mention
I kind of liked yours though
It was the bottom of your list
Can I see it
Yeah I think it's a
I think it's a good honorable mention for the back of the bus
No it was
I guess they did it
It was a circus peanuts
Yeah, all right
So we're gonna go
You want to do that?
Yeah, we're gonna go
What is it?
It's called Tier 3
It's the race nets
For a couple reasons
Raisins are terrible in the first place
And putting chocolate on them
It doesn't make them any better
I don't like giving them this platform
I don't like giving in this platform
Dude, just let him speak
Tier 2 is
Mounds
which is very similar to almond joy, I believe.
And it's just because coconut doesn't have a place in candy.
I think coconut's trash.
And tier one is candy corn.
100%.
I didn't know, like, I didn't watch that you're a good can.
Obviously, we talked about it a little bit, but candy corn is terrible.
Okay.
Do you want to go first?
Abysmal.
Mistake.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, go ahead, Gary.
I still want to hear your word.
Some might not agree.
That's fucking atrocious.
I know someone back there doesn't agree.
That's an atrocious.
There's someone back there going like this.
That's the worst list I've ever heard.
That's more than one more, but that's the worstless.
Let them, let them.
Sorry, sorry.
Conflicting.
Boss?
Legend.
The cock gobbler up back there.
Confused.
Great.
Oh, wow.
It's all over the place.
What are we talking about?
What are we?
Do we even talk about?
Do we even give them any more?
more of a platform or we just ignore him?
He can. He can make it so dumber than he
already came off. What am I doing? What do you mean?
You both talked about this before and you were going to gang up afterwards.
No. Not at all. Not at all. Go check the movie candy
tear talk episode. I think
Raisin' S is my one. It's one. Disgusting.
Oh, they're not disgusting. They're not. Yeah, like they might not be everybody else's
top three. But they're definitely not bottom three. They're not fucking bottom tier.
You, you're telling me you'd rather get,
Hey, slow down.
This is our podcast.
You fucking do your thing.
You'd rather get circus peanuts handed to you over all those you just said?
I said circuit peanuts.
Yeah, you can stirs me in your honorable mention.
Honorable mention, but you still, there's three worse.
They're only tear talk, Tanner.
Honorable's bad.
What do you mean?
Honorable is bad.
Like, honorable mention's bad.
Like, honorable mentions.
One is the worst.
What did you say two and three was?
When you got honorable mention in high school, you thought you're the best player?
Like, honorable mention.
it's right outside, like being considered.
You would rather...
No, no, I don't mind raising nuts at all.
I think it's a middle...
I think it's middle tier.
I don't think anyone back here likes Raisinets either.
I do.
I'm with you.
We had him at the movie.
I hope Blas got the video.
I hope Blas got the video of Jack's face when you said Raisinettes.
His fucking mind might have exploded.
He might never be the same again.
Dude, I just...
Again, answer that question.
You would rather be handed circus peanuts than...
literally all three of those that you just said.
Like maybe candy corn.
It seems like you hate candy corn.
But you would rather eat circus peanuts than raisinettes.
Yeah, 100%.
That's tough, dude.
You fucking suck.
Are the worst candy.
You fucking suck.
I'm not like, that's no cap.
Like, think about that, bro.
Listen, I literally said circus peanuts are my honorable mention
for the sole reason that they don't play a big factor in Halloween.
Otherwise, it would for sure be my tier one.
That's what's going to be my question.
I was going to say you would rather,
it was going to be the same thing.
rather eat circus whatever.
Peanuts.
Yeah.
Actually, the second two words.
Anyway, it's not important.
What's important is, like, the only reason why it's honorable mention is because it doesn't
have a big showing in Halloween.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I'm with you.
I think, I think, Circus peanuts is God tier worst candy.
I really think, I really think circus peanuts, God tier worst candy.
Yeah, I personally, like I have, I think I might have had it once in my life.
I had to look it up, but I agree.
They're horrendous.
It's not like they play.
They're not like a big player in the Halloween game.
They're not, yeah, and that's why I made honorable mention.
It's so bad.
it still needs to be mentioned even so it's not in the same genre right he just said hey i think i want to
use yours for the honorable mention over no it's on their list
okay so now he's 20 fingers there's your accountability by hand right now they're terrible
i just think it's interesting you'd rather have those other ones like i don't disagree are you just
saying raisinette like you're and also raising this don't even have a show no there's more i'm like a
showing on a hollinois 100% they do when do you see raisinette's on never i see with the movie
theater that's it if you intentionally go get them yeah if you intentionally go get
them.
I'm going to dig through your kids candy.
Oh, I bet you we won't find one tonight.
Okay.
I bet you we won't.
I bet you won't find one tonight.
There's a better chance of us finding a circus peanut than a fucking raisinette.
Yeah.
Yeah, but I bet you don't find raisinette.
Hard work dedication, boys.
Hard work dedication.
Here's where my like disagreement comes in.
I don't disagree that like coconut, chocolate and almonds, like, it's not like it's a terrible
mix.
I just don't think it's like a bottom feeder candy.
Okay, that's where I think you had a hard time with my list as well when I pulled out almond joys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How much I get, because I think you, I think, hang on, and also Mike and Ike and Ix.
No, I didn't say Mike and Ix.
Good and Pletney's.
Look those up.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, I fucking blacked out.
I was like, what am I listening to?
No, no, no.
Mike and Ix are phenomenal.
I'm saying good and plenty is are like the knockoff bullshit brand.
Like, just spend the extra three cents for the Mike and I'm so way better.
I'm so good.
I was only sold on your black licorish one.
Oh, no, no, no.
I mean, Mike and Iakes?
What are we talking about?
I mean, I think you're a little...
I think you're a little misguided
because almond joy has the chocolate factor
and I know you're a big chocolate guy.
So you probably still eat it.
But I think no one's reaching for an almond joy.
And me personally, I just think the combination is garbage.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's garbage.
But I love Pinie Colottas.
I think they're fantastic.
But I get that.
I just, I...
No, public enemy number one is right there.
Yeah.
Candy Corner is not like I under...
Like, I guess I don't understand the hate of candy.
corn so much. I went to my neighbors the other day and they had like, no, it's not.
Canycorn sitting there and I was like fired up to get the candy corn. I love, I think
candy corn is awesome. Yeah, but Blas just said something. Blas said, uh, candy corn is similar to circus peanuts.
It's not the same texture or taste.
Texture is very similar. He must not know what I'm talking about that.
No, I know exactly where you're talking.
That was me. I'm allergic to bullshit, dude. That's me fucking sneezing up that bullshit right there.
They're not even close to the same thing.
Not even close.
See, this is where I don't feel like I have a soldier in the fight here
because I'm not very familiar with circus peanuts.
It just sounds like it's an atroche.
But you remember, dude, they're foamy and squishy.
That's, yeah, that's what the-versus.
Versus a hard candy.
Yeah, hard candy.
Like, you get them little candy corn pumpkins.
And I'm pretty sure circus peanuts are supposed to be like orange-flavored peanut.
I think.
J.P. Do you know?
He eats him.
He eats him by the fucking bagful.
Circus, uh, circus corn or circus peanuts?
What do you say?
Sugar foam.
Oh, yeah, foamy.
I don't really have a dog in the fight in that one.
Hey, babe.
Why?
Is that 3.30, right?
Yeah, I texted you said.
It was 3.30.
Okay, we're leaving in two minutes.
All right, you are so fucking lucky we have to end this podcast.
Do, for real.
Raising heads don't deserve that disrespect.
I swear.
I'm being dead-ass serious.
Oh, no.
No, you didn't.
Oh, you buy them?
He bought them.
We went to a movie last Friday and he fucking pulled them things out the first thing.
Love him.
Love them.
House them in the previews.
Like, the reason that's the only bad part is like they're just gone too quick.
It's not enough.
Gone too soon.
Yeah, like that.
It's probably best we ended, right?
It's probably best we ended.
Because you guys with the monopoly thing last time.
I appreciate you guys for listening.
Like, leave comments.
Hey.
Tell him how trash of a human being he is.
We're going to, hey, go ahead and on the YouTube, put up Tanner's Instagram so people can just bully him.
Bring back, bring back cyberbullying for Tanner Technini.
I can't wait until the boys and Az.
He listened to this part, too.
They're going to be, well, they're going to, you know what?
He didn't understand the mission.
He didn't understand the assignment.
He's going to, you know what he's going to do next time at work?
He's going to start showing all the boys.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Just fast forward to the end.
I'll call him on the phone all the time and he'll be facing him about what's up.
What are you doing?
He's like, I'm just watching your show and he'll pop it up.
I believe that.
He's watching it all the time.
That's probably why he calls you.
Your talk.
Say, man, I don't call him enough.
Yeah.
Oh, you 100%.
I watch you on my TV every week, man.
I feel like we're going to.
Hey, you know what you should do on the bus.
You should do this.
Say this.
Say that.
I'm like,
I'm in a puppet, dude.
I do,
I do want to say,
I'm sure we both share the same intimate.
Like, we love Tanner.
Like, Tanner's, he's the boy.
Yeah, but he deserves the last thing he's about to get.
Yeah, yeah, he deserves.
There's no question.
Tanner's a phenomenal person.
Yeah.
But Arizona troll.
Yeah.
Arizona troll.
Anyway.
All right, transitioning from Tier Talk.
Now we're going to get into the George Kittle segment.
We did a fun little segment where we asked a couple of questions.
These last questions are brought to us by Roeback.

Now enjoy this segment.
the boy, George Kittle.
Yeah.
George, so are, because again, we don't want to keep you long.
We don't want to make it about NFL headlines or anything like that.
However, I would like to ask, what's it like playing with Christian McCaffrey on your football team?
Oh, it's really nice.
He's pretty good at football.
He trifecta yesterday is inspired by World Series ball, passing, catching, rushing touchdown.
Yeah.
He's slippery.
Makes guys miss.
Makes my job easier.
He knows how to run the football.
So I'm a huge fan of him.
Who?
Oh, man.
I just thought this is off the top.
I can't wait.
Who do you think is better at football?
Chris McCaffrey or Debo Samuel?
Dude, that's a good question.
That's a good question.
That's a good question.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I know.
Part of me wants to go Debo.
Part of me wants to say Debo, but I'll leave the floor to Kitty.
You know, okay, we're going to stop that one right there, David.
No, we're not going to.
We're done with Kitty.
Yeah, we're done with that.
All right, all right, all right.
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
So who's better at football?
Yeah, let's see.
You know, look, I'm going to, look, I'm going to,
I'm going to be right in the middle just because, well, look, I do love Debo just because I played with them and I've seen how much better he's gotten since he's been a rookie.
The one thing that he brings the table than anybody else is that every time he touches the football, he could run through two guys and still score a touchdown.
Not a lot of guys in the NFL that can do that.
Christian, on the other hand, is very slippery, and it's just hard to get hands on him regardless.
So it's just kind of what do you like?
And, you know, most of the time, I like guys who run people over.
So, you know, I'm a huge fan of Debo.
Team MC is probably going to continue to grow on me, though.
So I think they're both really good football players.
It sounds like the 49ers have a bit of a smash and dash situation going on with those two.
A very athletic smash and dash.
A very athletic smash and dash.
It's not like he's like a big thick dude.
He's strong as fuck.
Yeah, absolutely.
Big dubs yesterday, buddy.
Big, big dubs.
Hypothetical situation here.
Let's say you're the greatest football player in the entire world.
No one can touch you at all.
And your wife gives you an ultimatum to either stop playing football and be with the family or get divorced.
What do you think?
Have I won any Super Bowls yet?
You've won seven.
Yeah, let's say you've won seven just in this situation.
Hypothetically, you've won seven and you're 45.
Can Will answer it first and I'll go second?
We can, me and Will have already technically answered this, but go ahead, Will.
Yeah, yeah.
So what Taylor and I were saying is, I'll speak for myself.
I said personally, in my personal, like if it's me right now, my brain, I'm leaving the
boys because some things are bigger than ball and you got seven super balls and you got
probably fat money lined up after that.
So I would probably leave the boys.
then I tried putting myself in the headspace
of somebody who's the greatest world player of all time.
I'm sure there's some type of cynical,
just like obsession with, you know,
the struggle of walking away from the game
because you're just built to just win championships.
But that was my situation.
I basically said I would leave.
Yeah, you're dipping the boys.
Yeah, I mean, how many,
how long have I hypothetically played for?
How many years?
20 plus, I would say.
I mean, if you're 45 years old,
yeah.
And all the hypotheticals, I'd say 20 plus years.
Yeah.
I know. I think I'm going to go with Will on this one.
Yeah. Okay. So it's unanimous. We would all dip on the boys.
And that's crazy to say because this podcast literally our phrases for the boys.
But some things are bigger.
Yeah. You're for the boys at home.
Does that mean we're not wolves?
What's that?
Does that mean that we're not wolves?
No, we're wolves. We're absolutely wolves.
I just think that...
Being a wolf is a mentality.
Tell them, buddy.
Yeah, it is. It's a mentality. But every wolf knows when it's over.
You know, sometimes you get exiled from your wolf little clan.
And you got to go do your other wolf.
things by yourself. Still a wolf.
With your second family. Yeah. Yeah.
100%. Can we ask a second?
Go ahead. Go ahead.
You ask me another one.
George. I got three minutes.
Okay. Three minutes. If you could have this for you too, Taylor.
Okay. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
You're a superhero guy. I feel like this is a great question for you.
It's so good. Can I like pick a superhero that?
No. No. That's no. I was thinking the same thing. One specific thing.
I was thinking the same thing too because I think the easiest answer would be Superman, right?
Yeah, I think so.
It's like you just, and then you still play football.
Well, yeah, I don't believe.
That's not fun.
Like, okay, cool, you're Superman.
You have a lot of issues.
It is what it is.
Like, I would, I would choose Spider-Man because that just sounds like really fun.
Out of you guys have played the Spider-Man games.
But, like, it's literally Grand Theft Auto and your Spider-Man.
He's going to swing through New York City and just beat up bad guys.
So that's a thing for that I'm a huge fan of.
But just being a football player, I would love, like, Wolverine's ability to regenerate his health.
That's a good one.
That's a good one that I didn't really think of.
Can you imagine waking up every month?
Like after the game, you just feel great.
Yeah.
What a win.
You play forever.
You could actually end up hypothetically that player we were hypothetically talking about.
And to one up you, it's not just after game.
It's just anything in life.
Like you're feeling good.
And you're not worried about nothing.
He's like, ah, my neck.
Ah, just kidding.
I'm good.
Yeah.
Like hypothetically, if you went out, if you sat at your house and drank 47 beers yesterday
while watching football, you'd wake up the next day feeling like a million domestic.
So hypothetically.
What would be yours, Taylor?
because he's probably only got a minute 30 now.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
I feel like, I don't know.
His is so good.
Do you want to hear mine?
Teleportation.
That's what it would be.
Like jumping?
Like jumping?
Like jumping?
If I were to grab you, I could jump.
Like, hey, we want to pair.
Great movie.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, that would be mine.
And as long as if we all, I take everybody.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, you could do that.
Yeah.
We'll get real great to that.
You're a jumper.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm a jumper.
Mine would be.
Can you imagine just jumping to Cabo every other day.
Oh, dude, that is the number one spot too.
I go to Cabo.
We had two good ones.
I know you're going to come with some hate, buddy.
Mine would be to touch any book and acquire the knowledge that is in any book.
That's good, too.
I know, but where of that knowledge go?
To the dome.
What do you mean?
Yeah, your brain.
You've seen the movie limitless, like we only use like 3% of our brain or something like that.
I know, Will, I think you use 1%.
