Yeah. She is white, but she's also, the reason why I know about Caitlin Clark, is because of Jersey Jerry, honestly. Because he did the Jerry after dark, and that's when he was, like, beating her record. I was like, oh, who is this chick? And then she was like, fair. The be-all end-all.

but it's like, she handles every question with ease. Yeah. Have you met her personally? Yeah. Awesome. She's a stud. God. Yeah.

You know what it is? She crushed the bus. She crushed the bus. Like, she would vibe with the boys. She texted me. You think we'd get her on? Yeah, I think at some point. She did her text.

era yeah they were so cool i didn't like how the bed had the little triangle thing i know but they was so unique kind of messed with it it's like you like hated it at first but then you kind of came around because everybody would like deck it out and make it look sweet you make it look sweet and you're like all right this thing does kind of fuck it was unique yeah yeah yeah it does it definitely did hey before we get out the katelyn clark thing where is she from is she from iowa smallton i'm pretty sure i don't know where but um yeah smallton iowa that is kind of you're from are you from i You from Iowa? I was born in Madison, but like I grew, I was in Iowa from like six to 16.

Gotcha. So I consider that my home state. Yeah. I go back there more than I do Wisconsin. I never been to Wisconsin. I never played Wisconsin. Well, Green Bay. You never played at Green Bay.

No, I played at Green Bay. I'm talking about in college. Oh. Three Big Ten boys did in here. I never played at Michigan or Michigan State where the two I miss. We played them. We played both away at my retro year. So I never got to travel.

I never actually played Wisconsin home or away. That's weird. The only team, the only game I missed in college was like, was Wisconsin, my freshman year, Richard freshman year. And we never played them again. So I never had the opportunity to play them. I didn't play them until like when the conference like realigned and stuff. I didn't play them until was it like my redshirt junior year.

We played them then and my redshirt senior year. I wish I had never played them. Yeah. Just like that. Can't be. Have you guys ever ranked the Big Ten stadiums? Like what would it like? What would be like your top three stadiums?

We could do that. Fentier talk today. Oh, I would love to. Yeah. Let's do that. I like that. I was also thinking cereal. I just thought of it.

Are we done cereals? We haven't done cereal. We haven't done cereal, but I do like the idea of doing Big Ten. We are three Big Ten guys. Three Big Ten guys. Might as well. Yeah. Should we just start off the episode with some tier talk?

Just switch it up and do tear talk? You want to take a second? We can take a second. I feel pretty confident in who. I love that says Rose Bowl. Can't, can you draft your own stadium? That should be, I need to get that figured out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.

All right. All right. Off limits? Can't draft your own stadium. Okay. That saves me a really good look on the internet. Yeah, I got your back, dude. I think I know where I'm going with this.

I think I do too. Start it off, bro. You want to start it? No. All right, I'll start. My favorite state in to play in was Memorial Stadium. I think Nebraska's atmosphere is fantastic. Well, you're going one right away.

He's starting off with one. No one. Oh, shit, okay. Yeah, yeah, I'm starting with one. Because it was always a, sellout crowd and we always put in the last game of the year and it was always like four something so like the stakes were a little bit higher i was three and oh there which also makes great memories but like the fact that they had a sell out crowd always loud everybody's so polite and like when

you're going into playing Nebraska our coach always had like a meeting and be like like oh shit don't don't fall for their politeness they hate you just as much as we hate them you just got to go out there and get it because like you'd walk in all the all the door holders would just be like oh hey hey good luck today hope you have a great time out there just the nicest sweetest people let you know into the locker room so yeah memorials always one of my favorites we do have a good fan base like they show up dude it's a fantastic fan base i'm not a like i don't like i don't like Nebraska but i respect the hell other state like it's great and it's it's like there's only like two stadiums that go straight up in the big 10 it's like it feels like an NFL

stadium yeah yeah yeah yeah it is a good stadium it's a good stadium it's a good atmosphere the last time i was there oh dear talk yeah you're right go ahead what's your two oh oh I was just going to do like a snake draft. You just change you. You want to just change. I have no idea what's going on? My number one is Wisconsin. Fair.

Damn. Camp Randall's great. It's jump around, right? Yeah. Jump around. When they get that going, that shit is rocking. We got to play there in a night game against Russell Wilson. They beat our ass.

I'm sick. But it was, it was an electric atmosphere. So I'm going to go Wisconsin. Wisconsin's my tier one for Big Ten stadiums. My number one is going to go to Beaver Stadium. Fair. Penn State. It was my retro freshman year

We played them in October They didn't do the white out They had like literally Everyone was wearing like Halloween costumes I remember it was like third and nine Looking to my left and seeing Joe Paterno Like on the line with me

Like I can see him And all of the ball with snap I almost gave up a sack And it was like holy shit dude That's fucking Joe Patero before you know Yeah yeah before But it's loud It's over the top

And you can barely hear yourself think And every time I played there was a night game Which I thought was just like the coolest thing Because Michigan and didn't play a whole lot of night games so recently. Yeah. So for me,

that was like a really cool experience. I'm bummed. I didn't get to experience like a real Penn State atmosphere because the only time we played there was the week of all this Sandusky stuff. Yeah. So it was kind of weird.

It's like you do the, you had the prayer, you had the moment on the field. Yeah, it was the week. They were thinking about cancel it because the campus, they were like rioting, throwing couches,

burning couches, fires. That was some crazy stuff. And it was a wild moment. And you kind of stay, we stayed in this eerie motel that shared a parking lot with like the orphanage

that building that Sandesky was known for. And so it was just a weird vibe. That week was a weird vibe. So I never got to experience Beaver Stadium. My redshirt senior year, we played there on a night game. And it was when like, what was the song? Black Beetle. You know, like everyone froze on camera.

What? Do you remember that song? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Black Beetle. And it's like a song. And like during like the chorus, you would like hold position. Everybody freezes.

And like the camera. Do do do, do, do, do, do, do that thing? No, no, different one. The boys in the locker. Yeah, the boys in the locker room would try to get it going and everybody kind of freezes. But then like a camera would walk around. Yeah. They'll show you.

Yeah, dude, I think we're thinking of the same thing. Yeah. Am I not? I'm thinking of the Harlem Shake. Yeah, yeah. Harlem Shake was a nice little bit. That was a fun time. That was a fun time people started doing that.

We lost by 30 and like right start of the third quarter, they did a black beetle cam and the whole stadium froze. Penn State does their own version of Black Beetle in the locker room. The whole stadium freezes and they have like a, the sky cam went around the whole stadium. As we're losing by like 24 points. That's epic. Oh, dude, it was fantastic.

Yeah, so this is the same thing as Harlem Shake, just a different song. Essentially, yeah. No, it's not the same thing because the Harlem Shake was one person kind of freaking out. Everyone's going to do in their thing. And then all of a sudden it'd be like, yeah. Yeah, it'd be insane shit. Yeah. I remember the Steelers did one of these little beetle deals you guys are talking about.

And it was James Harrison. And he's literally holding like halfway up a pull up. Yeah, I remember that. It was like, oh my God. We might have to do it to bring it back just with this episode. It was like, yeah, just watching that. Nike, it was raining all white out. It was by 24 something.

Just watching. I was like, oh, this is sick. That's dope. Let's see. My number two. What's Ross Aid Stadium? Is that Northwestern? Maybe.

Let's see. I never played in Michigan or Michigan State. so I can't, you know, hold those. Oh, predatele. I'm going to say, okay, you took Wisconsin, which was definitely a two for me. I can't pick Kinnick.

Oh, I always enjoyed. Oh, we can't pick who you guys picked? George just turned this tier talk into. Oh, can I? Tere talk is now a snake draft. Who was your number one? Yours was Nebraska? My one was Wisconsin.

All right, so I'm pretty safe. You guys can just got to tell me the rules. You got Pinset. No, no. You've changed the rules. This is what, your fourth time on the pod? Yeah, it's been a minute, though. Yeah, tier talk.

is it's just your list. It's not a, okay, let's just do that, though. But the way we usually do it is you talk about your three, you talk about your two, you talk about your one. Why don't you tell me? It's been a year, man. Yeah, but you've been excited. You were excited about, yeah, you were excited about coming on doing this snake draft,

but we can turn this tier talk and do a draft. They're all off the board. Tier talk snake draft. Once you're in, it's a sin. Let's keep going. I don't like how they've added the new Pact 12 teams of Pact 10, whatever it is. That's, that's tough for me because I never played there either. I'm going to go.

Northwestern 11 a.m. kickoff. Nice. Nice. Because. You know you're going to beat their ass. It's early. It's going to get home. That is a game that proves that you love football.

Like you're not going to get like, unless it's a night game, like they're staying like their fans would show up for like a night game like a big game when they were decent. Yeah. Like the two times we played them, they weren't very good. We had like we had call it five to 10,000 people in the stands and they had maybe like 4,000 people in the stands. It's basically a home game away from home. Yeah.

But it's not like it's, it's not going to sell it out. It's like. Yeah. Half the stadium's full, maybe. Beautiful campus. Beautiful campus. But like you, you win there.

Like, that means you love football. Like showing up to playing that 11 o'clock kickoff. That's just grit. Like that's what that's big thing football. And you take care of business. Yes. You're very aware no one's watching.

Even a scouts apply throw this film away. It's a gritty game. Yeah. So like I always appreciate that. And like that's one of my favorite. Like I can't wait until it's in December. And like, UCLA or USC has to go to Northwestern for an 11 a kickoff.

There's no, there's no chance. There's no chance. They'll go and answer the bell. They'll, they've never experienced that type of football before. So, like, I'm excited about that. Can I tell you when you said Northwestern, I was completely against you, but your explanation of why, totally, I'm back on.

I know. That is exactly. It's like, it's like, it's big 10 football to its core. It really is. It's going to be 10 punts. And it's either going to be like 13 to 7 or it's going to be like 40 to 10. Like that's, those are the two games that it always says. You guys put up 40?

The, my, the year we. I was, don't they ever put up 40. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Everybody 13 to 10. 2015 CJ Bethard

at quarterback we averaged like 25 a game and Northwestern we won 40 to 10 that was a great game if you pulled that of your little brain right there you can't remember tier talk but you were 2015 When you win football games You remember those really well No doubt you probably want a tier talk

Maybe I think I have We did video games We did video games Oh I didn't win that one We did video games and then we did one other one And I got crushed on that one for some reason My second overall My second round pick's gonna go Ohio State

Fair. They're playing at the shoe, plant at the horseshoe. That's what they call, right? Yeah. Yeah. That's the primetime game. We got to play there at night.

Unfortunately, I picked two stadiums that we got our ass beat in, but Ohio State night game. My pick number two is going to go to the Indiana Hoosier Stadium. Oh, wow. That was the first game I ever started in. My first big 10 game I ever started in. We ended up losing.

It was a score fest. It was back with Denar Robinson, Rich Rodriguez, and it was literally, I think there was over 100 points scored in that game. sick. It was insane. It came down. No. We won. I remember that game. We one last second on like a fourth quarter drive and I don't want to get horny on you boys. But I remember after my second series being like, holy fuck, I'm playing in the big 10 as a red shirt freshman. I turned around and then there

was this girl because the student section is right behind the boys. For sure. There was this girl who had some major league yobos on her. And I just remember being like, Big Ten ball, baby. Yeah. We're here. I've made it. I'm like, I can see her perfectly right now. And it was one of the best looking gal, but. Big 10 football. Big 10 football, baby. Right in the heart of Indiana, it was just cool to me.

So that is my number two. That's phenomenal. I only played there once. It was a night game. And again, CJ Beather went off. He jumped over an entire like six guys for a touchdown. I never played in Indiana. It was a fun.

For some reason, they always would put up 30 points. It was just, it was always a shootout. You got a little bit of an offense. Yeah. How many places did you not play? I missed two. In the Big Ten? Well, like, what stadium did you not play?

Michigan State. We were only two years. We were only two years in the Big Ten. We were two years in the Big Ten. So there were some games. That's right. That makes sense. Full circle round.

All right. Okay. So, yeah, Indiana is my number two. I respect. My round. My number three. I'm going to go Minnesota. I like that pick.

It's a Saul pick. No, it was solid because one, I bet I've got my, we lost by 50 there one time. Like Max Williams had three touchdowns on us one time. It was unreal, like insane touchdowns. And then, but like I've also been there where we like had to win huge games. We won like 12 to 6. We ran the ball like 55 times. Like it was sick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are fun games for us. Your old school football. Yes. And then like, every time we played Minnesota, it's a rubber. And then it's also, that's my favorite trophy. It's the Floyd of Rosedale. So it's just a giant bronze pig that weighs like has to be over like 150, 200 pounds.

And like you can't carry it by yourself. Like you're holding that with like two other guys. And it's just this big bronze pig. That was one of my favorite trophies. So I'm a huge fan of playing in Minnesota. Fun fact about the gophers. They play the most trophy games of any D1 school. Do they really?

Yes. How many? No, I think it's like around seven though. It's got to be six to seven. I think I was like four or five. Yeah, because they play Wisconsin for one, Michigan for one, y'all for one. There's a whole bunch of them. Probably Michigan State.

You got to love how those just gritty teams got to just play for something every game. They were, you got to make it up. They were my second offer I forgot. I remember going up there because my dad went to University of Minnesota. Oh, cool. And that was like one of their selling points to me is they showed me an empty trophy case that we play for the most trophy games.

That's tough. And it is a tough look, man. It's a tough look. The empty trophy cases are not good. I also love how Minnesota like buys into their culture about how cold it is there and they refuse to have a dome. It's like an open stadium. Yeah.

They just like you have the dome. But they got rid of it. What? That was like 2004. Yeah, a while ago. And now they have it all open. I think it's really cool. I'm a big fan of it.

Dude, fun fact too. What was that? It was like after my retro junior year or something, it was when Minnesota Vikings, they didn't have their new stadium yet. So they were playing at the Golden Gopher Stadium. And I went when it was Minnesota versus Seattle wildcard round. It was like negative something degrees.

So awesome. And Minnesota ended up missing a field goal. Yeah, that one. I was at that game. So cold. And from where we were sitting, like the whole half of the stadium on our side, thought the kick went in.

So everyone was celebrating because you couldn't see it. Like the sun was like in your eyes. You couldn't see anything. and then you saw Seattle celebrated and everyone's like, wait, what happened? But it was just like, I was sitting there like eight layers deep

with my dad. It was a great time. Bro, when we played at Minnesota, I think it was my junior year, Jared Allen attended the game. And he was like, you know,

he was still in the league. So it was just so sick seeing Jared Allen just be there. That is cool. And what a stud too? Like he's such a good dude. Yeah. You guys,

you do the, I've hung out with them a couple times curling. Curling, I was going to say, the tight end going to go. What are you doing that? What are you doing that? Help me on.

me out curling. That's a fucking, that's one of the East. Yeah. I'll snipe, uh, give me Kinnick Stadium. Please do. Give me Kinnick Stadium. That's all right. Yeah, playing at Iowa.

The fans are right up on top of you, which I think makes it. Yeah, a lot of fun because Iowa talks a lot of shit. They do. That side of the stadium talks a lot of shit. Our side is like, good job, guys. You're doing great out there. Other side, angry. Yeah, they're right on you.

So I think that's what gives them the nod. And then the one time we played at Iowa, it was the coldest game. Was that 2012? Yeah, I was like, we only won like 13 to 6 or 13 to 7. I was redshirted in that year. So I was on the side of then and then we weren't allowed,

if you were tied in off to Lyme and you weren't allowed to wear sleeves. We were doing all that stuff too. So dudes are just, you know, with the whale fat, you're just putting all over your own. The whale fat. You mean the Vaseline? Yeah. We didn't have a whale fat. The redshirt guys weren't allowed to have the coats either because we didn't have enough

apparently for the whole team. And so I'm literally staying there. No sleeves just like this for three hours. God. Oh, it was the minute you get out of the cold when you're in that state and how it almost hurts

to be warm for a little bit. Oh my God. You can't even take a shower because it burns your skin. Or after games in November when you take your shoulder pads off and it's just your belly's all pink and the rest of it's kind of still

pasty white. And they got the, do you guys still got the pink locker room? Oh yeah, baby. That is. They got the pink locker room for the psychosocialization. Which is a hilarious.

And they do cotton candy fragrance. Who is coming through the door? I tell them to be a little easier on that thing. Yeah. So who were your three? I went Nebraska.

Nebraska, Minnesota. No, sorry, Nebraska, Northwestern Minnesota. And what were yours? Wisconsin, Ohio State, Iowa. Well, no, you can pick Michigan because no one else did. I know Michigan's going undrafted. Well, I never played there. I can't.

I'm not allowed to, I'm not allowed to. Yeah, yeah. To take them. Which it's understandable. Like the, it's the number. Purdue? It's the number that Michigan has. Go for Purdue.

Purdue is my least favorite stadium ever. I know. I got hurt there, so it's not my favorite. And the dude, just falling in their grass. But you played there, right?

When they had Ryan Kerrigan and... Oh, yeah. That was my Richard freshman year. So that was your first year starting. My first year starting, I played against Cameron Hayward, Ryan Carrigan, Mercy,

uh, Whitney Merciless. The only game I missed was against Wisconsin, who was JJ Watt. Sick. And, uh, Adrian Claiborne from Iowa. Welcome to the big Taylor.

Dog, I remember being like, oh my God. My God. With his little arm. Yeah. coming in there with that chop. Dude.

He just had a half. his head was this fucking big. He's a monster. Yeah, but I don't know who else I can take. I guess. Champagne? No, champagne's garbage. I think Purdue's more fun than Illinois.

He took Michigan State. He can't take Michigan State. He doesn't like them enough. Oh, wait, no, no. And I have horrible memories being Michigan State. Horrible. I'm going to take Illinois. I love it.

I'm going to take Illinois. It does have a unique scent to it when you're going, when you're driving the buses. It's not loud. It's not. big but for whatever reason they always had like a first round draft pick yeah they were every every like seven years they would just be like a below average team that has crazy talent we we played there that's rusher Whitney merciless when yeah Whitney

mercy we played there also my writer freshman richard Mendenhall was a beast they're their DB that went to Seattle last year rookie you know what I'm talking about yeah I think it might be there's multiple witherspins in NFL I'm pretty sure but I think that's him Sean Whitherspoon. Yeah, he's with Seattle. He's a good player. He was a Missou linebacker. It's a Witherspoon, though.

I know that. Okay. But we played there once, and it was like a windstorm, I get, some win advisory. And, like, Lear, you would stand at midfield. And if you spit in one direction, the spit's going that way. If you spit facing that way, the spits going that way. Like, it was a tornado because, like, there's four openings in the stadium and it would just twirl it. A tornado.

So, like, we ran the ball 40 times and threw the ball like three times. That's, as an office alignment, that's like, this is going to be the best day ever. Oh, yeah. You couldn't. No stress about past protection. There was like, there were negative yardage punts. And like we had a part, I think we had two part return touchdowns that game

because they just like rugby them straight down and like they didn't get out at all in protection. And so like our guys just got like a 30 yard head start running back at him. That is wild. Yeah, that was a fun one. It was a good draft. I didn't like the fact that I had to play Illinois in mind. I know, but the fact that I didn't love my draft.

What's crazy is I could have used Rose Bowl because we played at UCLA my senior year. Ooh. Would have been fun. But I like, I like Iowa. I think planet Iowa. I appreciate that. How was Rose Bowl? It was cool.

It was all right. People don't, it's not like it's UCLA, so not a lot of people were showing up. You know what I mean? But you just think it's dope because you're playing out of history. The Grand Eddie? Yeah, you're playing out of historic. Yes. We only tossed by 40 there.

Was it a noon? Yeah, it was an early game. Nobody picked the big house? No one picked the big house. But George didn't play there. I didn't play there. I didn't want to. It's dead against Michigan.

Hang on. I feel like I would have picked it. If I look at, if I look at this, though, my choices that I picked, I just think that it's tough. They would have been my next pick. Well, and also Will never did well at Michigan. I didn't do well at Ohio State and Wisconsin either. Yeah, but you know.

But we know this, though, bro. And I know you have the thing against Michigan because we're national champs. Yeah. That's a thing, but that's fair. They're not playing to this whatsoever. All right. We all know unbiasedly, like the big house isn't like the most riot-style stadium. No, you're right.

And I, that's exactly what it is. What they need to do is take those sweep. wets wrap them all the way around it'd probably be different if you know when we played because my senior year we were at nebraska but if we were a night game at michigan that was like for something because we did we got our ass beat by you guys and it was an early game it was cloudy and again it's not like the most it's not like the loudest stadium to begin with but if it was like a night game i'm sure i would i'm sure i would i'm sure i would i'd have snapped it i want to give an honorable mention to a non-baked 10 team oh yeah go a lot of dame never played there

has really yeah i mean because that was one of the big especially yeah i'm It was a Michigan cat too. It was like the second game of the year. That's sick. And it was like, you know, why aren't these guys apart of the Big Ten? Yeah. And it was always just a good, hard fought battle. And you had a couple, like, you had an iconic game with.

That was at Michigan. The night game was. Is that with the crazy jerseys? Yeah. And they had the referees with the little hats on, the little newspaper boy hats. Yeah. Manti Toeo. Man Tai Toa.

And I actually rewatch that game because the Big Ten did like a legendary games thing. And then we did like, hey, we're going to interview on this. So I rewatch the game. We played so bad. Like we were so terrible. We just like fell into luck. Like it was a turnover. The ball just kept bouncing your way.

Both teams kept turning the ball over the first half. There's really the second half was the only good part of the game. I think the only replay they show of Nebraska game is the Big Ten Championship where we just get absolutely stomped. By Wisconsin? Yeah. Bro, I just watch that.

That is the only positive that came out of that. That hit is maybe top five hits of all that. I was insane. I was with Debo and he's like, I don't know what you're talking about. I showed him the clip. He was like, Yep, I remember that. Yeah.

You kid him like a lawn chair. Murder. I don't know. Will I? Oh, yeah. No, tens. Oh, no. Fink?

Yeah, that's top five Nassies hits of all time. It has to be. That would hurt so bad. And meeting Kenny and Nebraska, him being such a good dude. He is, he is. Just a violent. Look his arm. And he even knew it.

He knew when he just killed that man. We were talking the other day. Was that Borland, by the way, 44? Yeah, Borland. Yeah. He was a. fucking monster. He just saw his guy get murdered.

We were talking last week about how this comes up all the time. This game, any like four or five times a year. Yeah, it does. This resurfaces and just murders Will's morale. Who was a running back? Was that ball? So who wasn't a running? Oh, yeah, they had like a Bonnie Ball, James White, and Melvin Gordon.

All ran for like 200 yards. Oh, my God, they did. Shut up. Oh, my God, that is crazy. Oh, dude. Oh, my God, they did. That's crazy. Oh.

Yeah, that's quite the slow-mo, dude. You got the yards on your shoes. Damn, $5.50. Oh, that was. I hope the light caught that. That was good. I enjoyed that. The amount of yards is on my shoe.

Oh, shoot. Iowa, I always enjoyed Iowa quite a bit. It's a great stadium. It was just a bunch of white guys. Just everyone just kind of playing Gap Sound defense. We were in the red zone against Iowa. one time and I think it was a 13 second protection because it was just containing dinar just running around back there and ended up there i don't think we ever won though they went one and three against

was that the night game was that the night game yeah i was i was in standing room only um i was up there i didn't i didn't have seats i was in standing room me my dad watched it up there because like we did something where like the high schools would clean out the stadium and so they gave some of the high school students extra tickets and so i just stood up there and like the corner of the end zone for the entire game no shit that's awesome man no no look at me going to your games before we're your friends Look at that. Look at that support. Did Will ever do that?

Uh, that's wild. No. Oh, we're talking about support. I probably saw you play too. We talked about support. We're talking about support right now. I probably saw you play too. I'm just, we've had a week.

You've had a week. I don't know if you've caught the type of week we've had. No, I talked to both of you on the phone like a couple days ago. Yeah. Don't pretend that we didn't. That's crazy. I called you both. Sorry, there's a lot of PTSD running through my head right now.

I just heard George about. Here is. You did we support you like that? It was Helen back. Yeah. Right. Vegas, Nashville. Is it going to happen? Is it not going to happen? Is Dave a good leader? Obviously, the answer is no. But he wants to say that he is. Like, we're, it's a whole bunch of back and forth on everything. Yeah. At the end of the day, it's still happening. I love it. It's going to be awesome. I had no doubts in you guys. Are you coming to ref? Yeah. I had no. When we were on Facebook, yeah. When we were going to be on Facebook. I said there's a lot. I said there's a possibility. You guys. I said, I said, I already talked to Will. But I did try to call you. I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I already talk to Will. But I did try to call you first. I, that's not. I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said to call you. I. I was. I want you know, I already

I know you called me earlier at this one, but I'm down to ref. I was like, all right, yeah, man. Yeah, you got to, I'll find a refereedgers yet. Then I pawned him off my daughter for five minutes. But George was calling in a supportive way to be like, hey, we have tied in you. You want to come let the guys know. If you want to come recruit a little bit, if you want anybody to stay around. For the beer games.

No question. Because we were in it. So we do appreciate the allyship. I'm just, I'm here to support the boys. It would be great to see it come and just be a champion. But now you're a referee. I don't bring the trophy. Because that thing has been proudly standing in my gym.

for the last year. We got to get that thing plaqued, too. Oh, it says, it was to say 50th anniversary is what it says on it. Two days before last year, I went to a random trophy shop on 8th Avenue, just picked one up. So do we take this opportunity?

Like, are we getting the commit out of you for a referee? I don't think we. What day is that? I'm so scared of being hurt again. I know. June 25th. June 25th,

it's on a Tuesday. At least commit awards ceremony. If I can be there, I will 100% be there. I might have something that I'm doing that, like, from like 12 to, four or something like that that's probably so you won't be there he won't be there and that's okay

doubt me and then when i show up it's going to be fun it's one one thing that i've learned through this process is i'd much rather somebody say something like that than yes and just why can't i need to look at my schedule but i know i have something on tuesday i just don't know what time it starts doubt him because we know how we know how the boy's get when you get out when you doubt it because at the end of the day dave did they pulling the rug out from the boys it forced all of all this to happen and come crazy but the fact that's in your backyard is going to really fun. Hold on home,

why did you say it like that? Because you still got a, you still have to understand like what happened. You know what I mean? Yeah, you understand what happened, but I feel like even if Dave... Like we both agree that the way it got handled,

we disagree with. Yeah. Very much so. But it doesn't come back here unless the boys back get put, get put against the wall like that. I think we still could have came back here if he handled it differently.

For sure. That's what I'm saying. Okay, all right. As long as we're going to want that out there because I know Dave's going to see that small little thing. you said that essentially in his crazy brain will be like will confident just said if it wasn't for me it would not be in Nashville it's fair but also you know how his brain works right but even the positive

even the positive spin for that is the quote i got to say on the unnamed show it doesn't happen unless all that other stuff happens that was a fantastic so another spin zone in my own brain was that with you guys had all the screens together yeah yeah yeah what show was that watch the unnamed show i don't you know what that is it came about because of just like something happened in the barstle universe i forget the exact moment is like the same as the old rundown uh it's similar like they talk about bar the bars the big barcel headlines and you got the guys who are kind of the main who who love the chaos ever with kirk minne hand dave portnoy and ryan whitney they both do a really good job of like festering whatever fire is happening at the time what do you got is you locking in right now three pieces

No, but like, what is it? It's a breaker.

No, what's the, I know, what is the liquid that's breaking? Happiness. The flavor ball. Yeah, a little flavor bomb, dude. You see that little bead in there? That little BB?

I might bite down on it. And it just, I might try one later. It's a nice little deal. It's a nice little deal. That's fair. Dude, let's talk about gives your cheek a receiver.

Oh yeah, what are you talking about? I want to hear how the process, how did they approach you about it? Because the receiver, you think, receivers. Yeah, for sure. And the boy, George Kittle gets a call up.

Hi. That's fucking awesome. I'm here. I think they tried to do quarterback again, but they weren't getting a lot of support from around the league. Like a lot of teams said that, no, our quarterback's not going to do it. And so they pivoted to receivers. And I got a call like literally 10 days before the first game of the season.

They're like, hey, would you mind if we miced you up, put cameras around you and followed you to your house after games? And occasionally were like in your home. I was like, that seems like a lot. Yeah. Seems like a lot. And like at first I was a hard hard now. It was like absolutely not. I'm not going to do this.

Like I have full faith in like the football gods. And like it just felt like a, it felt weird. And then, but I'd never watched quarterbacks. So I finally, I went and watched it and that I did a fantastic job about showing enough. And it also gives you an inside look to the players. And like, like what about the publicity gave like Kirk Cousins? Like people, people like he wasn't just like some guy. Like Kirk is a fantastic person, sense of humor, family.

guy like everyone fell in love with them right so I was like this all this is going to do it's like shows you an inside life introduces people to your family so I thought it was a cool thing and it's like it's ran by Peyton in the NFL so anything that you weren't a huge fan of you don't have to put it in there right yeah so I was a fan of that my wife Claire convinced me to do it she's like this thing about like in 10 years you can go back and watch it you can show your kids this stuff so sick and I was like you know what that's this fantastic selling point and so we agreed to it and it was uh it was really fun like I'm used to being miced up like I don't really have an issue with that so like the in-game stuff was fine.

They would like follow me in my car, like on our drives home sometimes, which was different. Would that be a little awkward at first and you just kind of get used to it? I got used to it after a while. And what was really fun too was they used NFL films on it. And so like most of the people that I was working with, I'd met them multiple times. Like the camera guys. So there was some familiar. Yeah.

And like they were all incredibly polite. And like they were also only as invasive as you allowed them to be. So it's like you guys aren't coming. I'm not going to see you for like two weeks besides game day. And it's like then it'd be like, hey, we have a charity event like for the like a foundation of it for the Niners if you guys want to come to that me and Debo will be there you guys can come to that or and then like our studios handled all the in practice stuff so I'd be miced up every other Thursday for practice which was kind of fun because like those are

conversations and things that go completely unnoticed was it fun too and easier known that Debo was also doing and you guys are on the same squad that was fun that was a that was a cool time and like I think because we've watched the whole thing now I'm a fan of it um the way they intertwined me and debo's story is really cool. And so there's a lot of 49ers footage in there. It's really fun. I don't really have any complaints about it. Like, and they let you, you get to watch it all. And then if you have any corrections or anything you want to take out, is that something you would let them know? Yeah. I mean, like, whether it was like, hey, my wife doesn't like this angle. If this, like, there's a certain play that I thought you guys should use a different angle so you

can like to actually see my run blocking skills here. Like the close ups on the close ups on something else. It's like just, just, you know, use like a different like different film so you actually see the play like the way that it's supposed to be shown like just stuff like that like creative ideas and they were great they worked with us on like almost everything which was pretty fun um did you ever hit like a point in like the middle of the season we're like god this is there's eight more weeks of this no not really like it was as invasive as you allowed it to be and so like we went through like four weeks so they didn't come to my house once oh that's awesome yeah they're just like hey you whatever you have on the

table for it's like just let us know what we have an opportunity to come see got you so it's like one of those like the only thing that was weird to me was like like we had a Thursday night game and then we went off to like uh the coast to say at like a nice hotel like for two days and like having them be there as like me and my wife are just hanging out trying to decompress like that was weird they were only there for like an hour but so like there's like a psychological thing of like it's just like right right now you kind of have to be on a little bit the switch is on like and I just want to kick my feet up and like not think about anything at that moment but like like I said they were they were very good about the whole thing and like they were very efficient with their time

And when you work with the same camera guys every day, like you build a good relationship with them and they were all fantastic. How did it pivot? Did you have your feelings change at all when the playoffs sit? And everything just means more. Well, like, they didn't come to my house once during the playoffs. That's awesome.

Yeah, like, I think they followed me home one, like, after maybe the Green Bay game. But like, I didn't even see him again. So it was very low key during the playoffs. How does it get handled like when injuries come involved? Because the Debo was injured in the middle of the year at one point. Yeah, like how does that work? Like, say you get injured. Um, so like you just are not miced in practice and they just miced it up on the sideline for the game.

And then you kind of game playing like, hey, they allow you to see this or allow you to do this. Well, it's like they can't come into the trainer room. They're not in the facilities. Yeah. So it's like, I don't know if Debo even let him come to his house when he was injured. It's like it's again, it's like just as much as you give them. And I like it's different because like Justin Jefferson missed like a handful of games with his back and stuff. So like a big part of his thing is just rehab and stuff. So I haven't watched his part yet. So I, but my wife this. said it's like very interesting like just behind the scenes like seeing somebody rehab from something um i think that's the most fascinating stuff you know how all the boys are like when you're injured like the ups and flows of your own stuff mentally and just kind of being around it'll be interesting is like always cool to kind of see the behind the scenes on that it will be cool but like the only like

my only complaint with the entire thing was that you have five guys between 17 and 20 games and eight episodes do you think it should be more i it needs to be 12 episodes minimum i just like that's what me like me and dbo talked about and we're just like it's missing some like the rawness of it like for example uh every thursday throughout the entire season like we're miced up on thursdays and we go every the week but every thursday uh me charlie warner ross dwelly and my tight-ins coach brian flurry would start a thing called positivity thursdays and like we'd sit in us and it was during like a defensive period right so we'd have like 10 minutes we're not doing anything and we'd sit there and we'd say something positive about the person standing next to us and we would rotate

talk about different people every single week but just something that like they did that we that was like really cool. Just like a positive reinforcement thing because the football season is really damn long. Yeah. And like I think like two of the three of us were dealing with injuries and it's just like sometimes you're just in your head, you know? So just hearing something like that and your guys were supporting it. And I was a huge fan of that, but it didn't make the show because they just like we don't

have enough space for it. And I was like, I think that's BS. Yeah. Like just like just like just add a like because like I mean there's a ton of footage, but just like I feel like it could be a little bit more personable if you had a couple more episodes. But besides that, the show is fantastic. It's like, hey, if you have the content.

Instead of squeezing it, we don't have the footage. It's like, hey, since the content's good enough, like, let's just make a little bit more. It's great content. It's just a fucking awesome job. Because they do, watching quarterback, they do such a fucking awesome job. Because there's three guys. And I'm so stoked about the lineup with you guys. Oh, it's great.

You got guys who like, number one, Justin was, he got injured. He's also in a contract year. You got Debo. You got the energy of your guys' team. Yep. Loving football, the way you guys love football, going in and out of injuries there and then having the Super Bowl run. Like, I think it's going to be so awesome. It's, it's, it's.

It's really fun. So it's you, Debo. JJ. J.J. Devante Adams. Devante Adams. Amon Ross, St. Brown.

Amon Ra. Yeah, because I feel like when I was watching the trailer, the trailer goes so hard. It gets you juiced up. Yes, absolutely. But when I thought it was literally like you, Debo and JJ. And then like halfway through the trailer,

they also introduced Devante. Yeah. Like, whoa. Devante Adams? Yeah. Amon Ra. Amon Rock. Excuse me.

Fantasy team too. He was actually a stud for me this year. Yeah, he had a great year. And it's awesome. Imagine the, imagine the amount of risk that Omaha. and Netflix takes on when you're filming guys that are playing a 100% injury rate risk sport? Crazy.

Dude's just like, what if all y'all just got taken by the Grim Reaper? Yeah. That or that or like, what if nobody made the playoffs? Yeah, that too, yeah. Because you got Detroit, you got you guys, you got, I think, I mean, Minnesota had a very interesting year when Kurt goes down and all that. who else devante the raiders make a run as uh who's the head coach who's that ap he gets the job so yeah a lot of good storylines that they got to follow god it's cool it's gonna be sick you guys are

yeah it's really fun so you've seen every episode all the way through yeah when's it come out july 10th yes we have a premier july 9th in l a nothing like a good uh flight to l a from nashville on a tuesday no doubt god no doubt just the middle of my work week who would make people fly to the the West Coast in the middle of the week like that. Brutal. I know. It's bad ball. That's bad ball.

Insane people. You gotta think farther down the road. Yeah. It's crazy. Can't be doing that on a Tuesday. Yeah. In the middle of a work season. In the middle of a hot summer too.

Mm. Like going, I mean like. It's bad ball. Jeez. Some would say. Not me. Yeah. Some would say.

A lot of people would look at that and say that's a bad deal, but not us. Yeah. Not this podcast. So the receiver's thing, though, one thing that was fun, I did get to do, I got to do. I got to go to, it's called Netflix Upfronts. And it's like they show off all the shows that are coming to Netflix, like to all these giant marketing places.

Yeah. And so like, and I got to do the receivers thing. So I got to go on stage in front of like, I don't know, 75, 100 people and like just kind of present for a minute. And but backstage, I got to meet Kate Hudson, which is,

fools gold is like my favorite romantic comedy. Dude, that is the number one rom-com. Yeah. So like, I love Matthew Conhey. Kate Hudson's phenomenal. So like, that was a dream. And then, Jamie Fox walked in. And I got to meet Jamie Fox, which was, I was just a, hey man, Gold Digger is one of my favorite

songs of all times. Nothing to do with my wife. It's just a jam. Really appreciate it. Out of all the things you've done, I love Gold Digger. That song is so good. How did he receive that information? He just laughed at me.

That's awesome. He laughed at me. It was fantastic. And then my wife met the creator of, I don't know what her name is, but the creator of scandal, Gray's Anatomy and Bridgeton. She was there as well. Just big timers. Yeah.

And like Claire's favorite show is scandal. Yeah, Shonda Rhymes. And she was super nice. And Claire was like starstruck. It was actually funny. She was like, it's my favorite show of all time. Should I say something? Should I say something?

Yeah. So we got to go over there. I'm going to do it. Cameron Diaz was there, but I didn't get to meet her. I know. She was in and out pretty quick. But. He's talking from across the room, though.

I got to watch her and Jamie Fox presented because they have like some spy or some TV show movie coming out. Looks good. We got to watch the trailer. It looks fun. Good to hear about Jamie Fox making a comeback. Yeah. He looked great. That's awesome.

He was wearing a nice suit too. Yeah? Yeah. Tall guy, short guy. Not short. Not short. That's all that's all I'm not short. Yeah.

Yeah, not short. He's a, I mean, I'm gonna guess six feet tall at least. Oh, that's a win. I wonder if they're still doing that. Remember when he had the idea of the Mike Tyson movie? He talked about the way it could start off and come in. Jamie Fox. Yeah, when he sits down and explains that on that podcast.

Kind of reenacting Mike and his ability to like kind of paint the picture for you. for you. You're just imagining all things. Have you seen that video? No. He's basically talking about who's more talented than Jamie Fox? Yeah, he might be number one, dude. Yeah. I mean, Justin Timberlakes, he's done a lot of stuff. I'm saying it's not close to Jamie, but I'm talking like those types of guys who can do a lot of different things. And do a lot of things well. Yeah. That's the thing. He's good at it all.

Have you heard him talking about like Django in the process of that? I think I, like when he, a while ago. He was only Howard Stern talking about that. And he was. He was like doing his lines all cool. And Tarantino's like, cut, come here for a second. Come here for a second. he's like, how he needs to act.

He said he had too much swagger. Too much swag. Too much swag. He's like, then he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's a he's a slave, then he's the hero. He was a guy, he was giving him. Just like the commitment from him. these cats.

It's insane, bro. That is insane. Had the horrors ever laughed in a movie was the first hangover. Yeah, first hangovers, I would say, watch that with all my high school buddies. I was crying. Oh, man, wedding crashes. I don't know if I saw that in theaters. You're not a real one.

When did that movie come out? He said, thank you. Anchorman, too. Ooh, Anchorman. Anchorman was fantastic. Anchorman was fantastic. I don't know, dude. Hangover won because it was just so unexpected.

Out of nowhere. everything no idea what to expect yeah it was just like like when he jumped out of the back of the trunk for the first time and he starts beating him with a crowbar like where did that come from like who thought of that idea and it was kind of like and it was kind of like to a different style

of a comedy movie because you just got done with the wave of the anchor man's the will feral stuff and everything else and oh fantastic I mean like oh dude there's so many good one-liners from the bang over too that movie's so good it's what then they kind of killed it with the other two I thought the second one wasn't horrible

the third one was like we're just doing the same thing again yeah the third one wasn't very I had a hard time with that the second one was okay like similar plot line the fact that they're doing where were they like Taiwan or something like that something that was funny yeah the Mike Tyson tattoo is so aggressive yeah oh yeah I haven't seen that moving long I've seen Hangover one a ton of times but like two and I think I've only seen three like once yeah I think I saw both those in theaters and never really revisited

just the first one though I thought was so You know what's really tough I've realized is like watching the hangover or like other movies that use the F bomb a ton watching this on like cable TV where they don't swear tough tough first of all you watching cable TV at now do you have cable I think it's more like when I remember like watching back in college and stuff like that or like if you're in a hotel room FX yeah you're in a hotel room you swipe on it and you're just not the same it's 20 minutes in you're like I'll finish this you know what else is really difficult what finding quality tickets to games.

else i think you you guys in your team does a fantastic job of putting them in nice hotels downtown you guys kind of building activities around it what's a new wrinkle this year oh uh let's see two wrinkles that we have this um we'll start with this uh let's see the first day on the field stuff we end it with bringing bridge stone is bringing an entire like team of girl flag football players and so we're going to play flag football uh like with a bunch of somewhere between like 10 and 14 year olds which I think that'll be pretty fun. You're playing and play football? Like we could be like all-time quarterbacks

and like throw it to them and stuff and ref and so I think I think that'll be pretty fun. Can we play? Yeah, probably if you guys want to show up for it. I just ask you. You want to play linebacker? I'll cover the middle. Oh, I love that. I'll drop Tampa 2.

Fantastic. Tampa 2 every play. But besides that, the other cool thing I think we did, Bud Light rented out or something us helping us throw, we rented out the Brooklyn Bowl downtown, which is a concert hall. And we have a full concert on Tuesday, night. There's general admission tickets, up to 750 people can go. And then, so there's two floors. Downstairs will be general admission. Upstairs will be like tight ends and friends. And we have

John Party, Nate Smith, Chase Rice, Jelly Roll. And then, um, let's see. Are they all confirmed? Yeah. I hope they don't. They're confirmed. They're confirmed. Jellie called me like two days ago to confirm it too. So I was hyped about that. We got Waylon Stone, who I played with one of them at Iowa and then Tyler Rich. So we have a good lineup for it. It's from like 8 to 11. So if you're listening right now tonight, because this is a Tuesday as you're listening, general emission tickets,

if they're not sold out already. No, I think there's a handful left. So, you know, if you want to go to it. And then the fun thing, too, is all the money, everyone is performing for free.

And all the money gets to go back to charities. And so, like, how it always ends is we raise money through our awesome sponsors, wherever it is, Bud Light, Charmin, Levi's, Gatorade, Bridgestone. And then we've, like, pay for everything.

And then whatever's left over, we split between me, Travis and Greg, and we donate it to our charities of choice. That is awesome. So it's pretty cool. So like I always like get a send a check to the Iowa Children's Hospital. Greg has his own foundation and Travis has his own foundation. So that's always that's always pretty special.

That's awesome. So we're excited about that. But the Brooklyn Bowl concert will be very cool. I'm excited about that. Yeah. As far as the concert goes and putting on an event, who runs that stuff for you guys? To get commits. Like what do you mean?

To get commits like the artists? Like get people to agree to do something and then stay doing it. That was mostly me. That was you? Yeah. I am cold calling people and asking them, sending them messages. Interesting. Yep.

I'm working my hardest on that. But my marketing team kind of sets up so like I get the like, hey, are you guys interested of this? Are you free? Yes. Okay, let's connect our two teams and they'll figure out all the details. It's kind of how it goes. But yeah, no, my marking team Rubicon, who represents a bunch of people across the league.

They run the whole thing that's their fourth year doing it. They do a fantastic job. Like, I thought up Pete. Shout up Pete. Shout out, Amanda. Those are the two that do a ton of work. Amanda kind of, Manamato, she kind of runs the whole thing. And she's boots on the ground.

She gets, she like she lands today to start setting up everything. It's, she's fantastic, but they do such a good job. I feel like it's a first class thing. Like, we do a really good job. Oh, 1,000%. And then I think what the really cool thing is too is. Even on field at the camp, like all the hydration, the food, everything is set up. We tried to good.

We have a raising cane struck coming. So that's always fun. And then really, what was I going to say? Oh, my wife does a fantastic job. like we encourage everyone to bring their girlfriends wives fiancees and then clare has like events set up on tuesday and wednesday for the wives that goes to um while like we're on we're like we're at the doing the film session around the field and so that's really cool like they run it out like a rooftop bar they're gonna have a huge event um everything's sponsored and then like

they have these crazy gift packages for everybody to anywhere from like luggage to full clothing sets like it's gonna be a fun year gosh it's dude heads off to you guys i appreciate it you really do you do a a really good job. Like you and your entire family is very intentional about how you guys move about everything. Try to. Like with the tornado stuff that happening, your dad being involved with that right away. Just donating. You guys are always looking at some of that big picture stuff and I think you guys take care of people really well. I appreciate that to you and your family. Thank you guys do. No free shoutouts. But I don't. Well, free shoutouts to the kittles. Oh, I appreciate that. Free shoutouts. What do you think, what do you think I'm coaching this here on my tape?

So like we get me, Travis and Greg, you get 30 minutes to show tape. You're usually coach blocking. Yeah, you'll do an outside zone blocking scheme, fit probably in a triple. Pass Pro this year. Really? You're coaching a pass pro? I'm coaching up Pass Pro. I'm really excited about it. I got a great cut up. Is Grant coming? Dude, Granc has to shoot a commercial. He was going to come and then they changed his commercial literally last week and he had to cancel. Listen to the Granc do yards after catch last year is my favorite presentation. Amazing, right? Yeah. Fantastic.

It's not a whole like, you know, you just, you just do it. You just do it. Drop, step, and go. Just like get vertical. He's not going to tap you. You see right there he didn't tackle me, then I just kept running. Yeah. You hear George talking about blocking here. Travis talking about route running and awareness and everything else. And Gront gets on and he's just like, he basically just runs his highlight tape.

And he's like, it's just second effort. He was fantastic. It's like right here, I just decided to jump. Yeah, like see, I just broke. Like I used my momentum and trucked him and I just kept running. You did. That's, yeah, fantastic. Good job, Runk.

That's really good. I was responsible. I told my video guys, I just pull out like the 10 best yak rock plays. They just made him a highlight video. And like three of the plays too were just like, how are you expected to just coach through that?

I just struck them right here. Yeah. See, I used my right hand as a weapon. And I face planted him. Yeah. It was sick. No,

but we're excited to tighten you. You're four, baby. And it's gotten huge. It grows every year, which is really fun. Was that first year at Lipscomb? Yeah, first year was at Lipscomb.

Well, like, the crazy thing, when we first did it, It was like an idea of like Greg Olson was retiring from Seattle. And I just hit him up. Like last game of the year, we played them. And I was like,

hey, would you want to like come down on, because I had like 10 NFL guys here? Or tight ends at least. I was like, will you come down like just give us some tips? He goes, well,

let's make an event out of it. And we got Travis involved. And then we started shooting out a couple invites. And we thought we were going to have 20. And the next thing, we knew we had 50. And so we're like, okay.

This is going to be something. Let's roll with it. And then the next year we had like 80 or 90. I think this year will be about 70 to 80. somewhere there. So you guys are retained a good. Yeah. I mean,

if we're getting over 50 guys, I'm pretty pumped. Yeah. Because again, and you come one time, it could be something that guy, you know how the boys are. Hurdy NFL players is cats.

Yeah. It's brutal, dude. Yeah. But it is so great to get a bunch of dudes from different teams. It's so fun, man. In a room, it makes the NFL feel so much smaller

from a community standpoint. It's awesome. And you get those cool events that go on in the evening time, all the shuttles, everything. You get everything taken care of to where they don't have to think

and they get that fun. That's when you keep them coming back. be here at this time yeah okay you said to make it as like close to like a football schedule as you possibly can one thousand percent itineraries the whole thing fines just in case that's fair it'd be fun to implement a fine system that'd be good hot goes to charity oh oh oh oh yeah show plate thank god you're rich yeah put an envelope in their locker you guys have kind of set the standard too i feel like you guys uh the o line i feel like that o line it was a mastermind oh my mastermind they've been in it for seven years yeah

Lane Johnson and those boys, it feels like those have gotten better. And then, yeah, I feel like now the pass rushers, their first year is maybe last year and they're doing it again this year. I think they've been doing it for a few years. Vaughn's been doing it for a while. Yeah, Vaughn's been on that for a long time. But I think, I think, because Max Crosby works with my marketing agency too, I think they're helping him put on patch the edge rusher or whatever. Sack Summit. I hit up Fred.

I messaged Fred. I was like, yeah, are you guys doing like a linebacker thing? He's like, no, we need to get on that. It's like, I was just kind of, you know, seeing if you need to come out. you need me to teach some fundamentals. That would be fantastic. Teach some fundamentals. We're going to talk about his highlight tape.

We're going to talk about effort right here, guys. That's all that matters. The only thing that matters. Look at me. Look at me go the wrong way. There's a screen to the other side, and I chase him down 30 yards away, and I get to tackle. That's effort right there. What closed them in.

What quotes from George Killer are going to come out of receiver? You guys, I hate to say failing, but coming up short of winning the Super Bowl. because you know while back it was like it was we'll be back here yeah then you're back there and you come up short again which is that we did it does suck losing losing Super Bowls is not fun

yeah is there one that is there one that hurts worse um wow I'm not really sure I mean they both suck in their own way yeah um but no I wouldn't say one hurt like hurts more than the other I think just recency yeah it just sucks like you get

it's not very fun, but you have, I don't know the other way to look at it is like, well, I woke up the next day and I got to play football again. Like, it is what it is. Like, got to climb back up the mountain, push the rock back up the mountain.

Yeah, that's the most George comment of all times. It is. Like, what else am I going to do? Like, am I just going to be depressed? Like, yeah, I had my time of being super sad and stuff like that,

but it's just like, all right, well, let's start working out again, hit it again. And hey, it's fun. I'm on a good team still. We have another opportunity.

My quarterback's really good. still have Nick Bosa and Fred on the other side, like we're going to be a good team again. So let's just continue to play well, stay as healthy as we can and get back to the playoffs. How long is your process to allow yourself to be sad? Um, well,

man, it's like what's tough is when you lose a super lot, it's like mid-February. Yeah. Right? And so, and I did get, but also the year before,

you lose like eight quarterbacks. And that was the year you guys were on the revenge tour. And it was looking really good. Then you lose all of your quarterbacks. Again. So then Nick's, This year you guys are all in. You're making the run.

You have a little hiccup in the middle of the year, but you get back on track and you get, you make it all the way back again. Yeah, I know. It's brutal, isn't it? Oh, it's, it's,

well, I just want to paint, I just want to paint the picture of, right? It's good to be on that side, like you're winning all these games. For sure. Like,

the ending's like, you can't, like, it's hard to celebrate, you have 13 wins. It's hard to celebrate that when you come up short of like your, what your goal is. But like, at the same time,

the whole season of winning 13 games, Like that process of showing up every single day at 6 a.m. for rehab. It's a lot more fun when you're winning, which like you guys understand that. Like to do that and then like not make the playoffs and just lose, like I did that my first two years. And that's that stunk. That's the worst. Especially when you know it's coming.

Yeah. Like there's four weeks out of the season. You know you're out of the playoffs. Like that's not very fun. And like show up to work with a bunch of guys who were pretty defeated and like half the guys know that they're probably not going to be there the next year. Like that's not a fun locker. Horrible feeling when you find yourself being like, oh, thank God it's almost over.

as opposed to be excited about the next game. Which is, like, that's tough. Like, you don't want that. And, like, my rookie year, like, we won our last five games. We were one game out of playoff contention. So, like, that was a fun ending because, like, we won five straight. But then the next year, like, we were four and 12. And, like, we knew we were done, like, half it did the season.

Like, we didn't have a chance. Yeah. So, but, like, yeah, it sucks. And losing's all horrible, especially, like, yeah, NFC changed your game. And, like, as a Niners fan, you believe, like, I think we would have beat in Philly. Like, it would have been a great game. Like they were going to say, oh, you know, we beat the hell out of you. We didn't have a quarterback.

It is what it is. Like, it would have been a good game at least. Yeah. But to go from that. Especially the Shane of him will let you throw the ball. Dude. Yeah. You know what's actually, at least try to throw it.

This is actually funny. Just go back. Yeah, just rip it. Yeah. So, like, I've had, like, my shoulders has been messed up since high school. And, like, luckily, I play tight-in. So, like, I don't have to throw a football or anything like that. Like, I'm just blocking.

Like, engaged. Like, my shoulders don't bug me too often. But I hurt my shoulder in the Super Bowl. and like AC spraying shipped a bone and now that it's like mostly healed I can now throw a football

again. It's like a kid that gets hit in the head and you wake up with a superpower like I can throw a football like rookie in the year yeah it's unreal I don't it doesn't make any sense to me

but like I started throwing football and I started feeling better and like I can actually zip it and I'm like oh that's what it feels like the throw football like this is like Shannon hands got a little tool like my labrum doesn't hurt anymore

when I throw it's like what happened to where I can just like ying footballs now so like that was shit that was a fun like yeah I get hurt but I can play catch now with my like with my kid at some point like I throw your dad with Bruce yeah just go on the back yard and play catch so that was always fun for me you came out you ended this season pretty

banged up yeah oh I was crushed I was crushed I had a I had a tough go there for a little bit what were the injuries mm um if hip is not stopping us I just don't want I had several things I don't know what I would get like the nair's in trouble for got you I think we I think we we we we we we I think we reported everything as it went but like NFC championship game like third play of the game someone stepped on my foot and I got rolled up on and I tore the MCL of my big toe like your big toe has an MCL exactly as two apparently does it really yeah yeah no it's like it's like on the the big part and then like also up in the joint what is that pain like I tore the ACL in my pinky

walking's not a thing oh for real I you're you're not doing anything like you there's like it's just stiff it's like that was that was that was tough one that have right there um how long after the season did it take you to like you wake up in the morning and start to feel like okay maybe I can play again. Dude, like right after Super, like, I refractured a rib and had my shoulder. And then I had core surgery and my toe. So it was just like, I was laying there like the day after the super, I was like, all right.

We're going to have to deep breath. We're going to figure this one out. Like, it's going to take some time. But like, I'm laying there. It's like, holy shit. Like, this is going to be a tough bounce back. And it was tough. But, like, I'm feeling great now, which is fantastic.

like you know i've done all the recovery stuff um i'd say i'm almost back to 100 percent yeah i got i got some weight again i'm a little skinny right now i got like to gain 10 pounds or so but like besides that you look phenomenal i appreciate like i feel you should the boy keeps it tight yeah you should so after the super bowl i lost um almost 30 pounds no shit because i couldn't lift any i couldn't do any upper body because my shoulder my rib and i couldn't do lower because of my core surgery and then i got surgery right so like i didn't lift from like the super bowl until like almost mid-march so like i went month about doing anything like i wasn't supposed to do anything how's your brain how's your brain do during that are you just like i need to go work out my anxiety levels were pretty high

it's probably hurts even laugh too you can't even laugh and enjoy yourself sneezing dude yeah oh sneezing was the worst thing you know the end is near you just know what it is like scar tissue pops every time you sneeze in like the first like four weeks god it's horrible so that was fun but like i had like a bunch of people i know like the kelsey bros got that same surgery uh tonion got that surgery My starting, like, Mooney got the same surgery me like a week earlier. So like I knew a bunch of guys

who had gone through it. Like though, I'm pretty sure like the Watt brothers did it. So like, I called some people and like they were like, hey, you're going to, you're going to feel great.

Like just the first month or so is just going to suck. And after that, you're going to come back and you feel great. Like JJ said he had one of his best years of his career after the surgery. So that made me confident. Yeah.

What a nice guy to, you know, take time to talk to me about that too. No question. Wisconsin guys. Midwest. Yeah. Midwest.

Yeah. good people yeah but overall um i'm pretty sure we reported all that and if i get my nineers in trouble i'm sorry but i think we reported all of that there's a lot of stuff coming out people breaking rules there are the hammer thrown on them crazy there was another team too did they accident didn't was didn't was didn't kirk accidentally throw him under the bus yes yeah it's like he would never do that intentionally never such a nice guy never curse a lot like you just unapologetically himself good dude tries to play by the rules and just caught himself in some friendly fire on accident yeah keeps a clean haircut though

Keeps in quarter corner socks. Yeah. I wonder if he goes to a sport clips haircuts. No, he's got. I think he does. Yeah. And I think is this an ad? Yeah.

Yeah. Your hair may go fast, but after going to sport clip haircuts, you'll wish you're grooving faster. That's because sport clips is the best seats in hair. And that may or may not be because they happen to be in front of TVs playing sports all day long. We know watching sports while getting your haircuts sure beats watching a reflection while getting a haircuts, which is why at sports.

Which is why at Sport Clips Every day is clippers and curbed balls High tops and Hail Marys and even waves and wickets If you're into that sort of thing At Sport Clips You can check in with the pros and men's hair And totally check out with pure uninterrupted relaxation

So yeah Come watch an endless stream of sports on TV While getting an awesome haircut Sport Clips It's a game changer You tattoo? I got this a while ago Like right before I left

The original Dragonite card that I've had, I've had this since I was like six years old. That's been my wallet since I was in. Yeah, I love how you carry him in a wallet. Oh yeah, dude.

We got pretty big into it. And it's fun, too. It made a comeback, actually. One of the people I get treatment from, she's an acupuncturist, and her assistant that comes with her, uh, like her niece,

she's like late 40s, 50s. And, um, she plays Pokemon Go religiously because her niece plays it. And she's like a level like 50. Like, she's like, super high up there. Because I, Pokemon Master.

You want to who are Rikwazza is? A what? No. It's the same thing. I'm the original. I'm the original 150. After that goes, I get out.

That's, I went, yeah, I went up to like, what was that? It's like, Was it like white and black came out in like 2000 and probably like 2011, 2012. And that was my last go round to really.

Yeah. I've played like, I give them all a shot though. Everyone that comes out, I get on my DS and I play it. You need to get back on watching the show. Oh, it'll tear you up. Oh, it's fantastic. I rewatched two years ago. You watch Pokemon.

Like I rotate between Pokemon and then this past training camp I just watched Ugeo. Didn't they retire Ash? He won, finally. Like he won his first. That's a crazy spoiler. Well, I think it's been out. That's been out for like, yeah, Ash has been retired, right?

I don't know if he's retired. All I know is he won finally and Pikachu got him to dub versus a Charzar too, which was pretty sick. That is wild. Full circle moment. Yeah, we got to get Ash catch him on the bus. That would be wild. If you were Pokemon, what would you be?

Dragonite. Okay. You're an OG, one of the strongest. You can fly. You're a big dude. And like he looks like he's having a good time all the time. Okay. Yeah, look at that dude, man.

Dude's just chilling. But he also knows Hyperbeam, Ice Beam, dragons can learn all the crazy moves too I was like a dragon addict like I think that was like the easiest Pokemon to fall in love with their dragons yeah yeah I'm I don't know I'd probably like I'd be like Zapdos

Day uh sorry yeah you'd be a legendary electric Pokemon yeah I'd be a Zapdos You'd be an electibuz I wouldn't mind like a blast toys I was a big total fan You're not a Zabud's your part of Likipfee you'd be an Evie

He'd be a What's her name Yeah, I'm complimenting you. Take it easy. I wasn't taking a shot there. Oh, dude, I want to be like a scroll down a little bit. I would want to be Alika Zam. Oh, go to like, what's your name? Oh, your brain can't work like an Alka Zan.

No question. No, what's the, what's the right there to your left? Left and down. Down, right. Who was her name again? No, these are, these are fake names. Yeah, those are fake names. Come on, Mitch.

I can't remember what her name is. Jinks. Jinks. Jinks. Taylor would be a jinks. I don't know how I feel about that You shouldn't feel good about it So lectobos

The black and yellow guy right in the middle Mr. Mime Yeah Mr. Bown would be sick Mitch would be Golm Dude Golm He'd be Goliom You'd be a rock Pokemon Right on the Spire too

Ron on goes hard I always had an infatuation With the psychic Pokemon Gengar's a That's like a top to your favorite too Like that's what most people's Gengar But like

Do you just do The imitation Dude, I like to haunts her better than, Gangar. So sick. Yes. Gangar was the guy you had to trade, too. Him and Macho. There you go.

And, uh, made you see you at the top. Cadabra. If you got a, if you got a strong cadaver, though, you didn't really have to do it. But do you remember getting Hitman Champ and Hitman Lee from that fighting gym? Yep. That shit was so cool. And then you had to choose which one you wanted. Oh, it was always such a stressful thing.

Yeah. My sister used to play with me when we were kids. And we would each get, she would always take Hitman and I'd kick Hitman Lee. And then we'd trade them and then trade them back so we could fill up our pokey decks. Remember when you found out about the rare candy at the bottom of the island? And then you ran and you sailed and you got infinite?

Yeah. It's phenomenal. Good times. I just remember back like when I was to get like hey, it really does. Like my cousins got what is the game shark so they could catch a me

so they could complete their Pokedex. And then they passed it on to me so I could complete my 151. That was a grind. Like you actually had to buy a cheat code to catch a Pokemon which made no sense. You had to cheat to play the game.

Otherwise you couldn't get it. Dude, in that movie, that first movie came out and Pikachu is just down on the ground against Mewu Oh and you tear you cry You yeah Legitimately cry

My daughter rewatched it And as I watch it with her I'm getting choked up watching the show Unreal Unbelievable Such a great man In the beginning when Charmander His little flames going out

Because his buddy abandoned him His trainer abandoned him It's like it's a harper A Pokemon movie And Lion King or two I remember like crying Yeah Talk about the guy who left

Charmander Because he didn't like him Like what a bonehead mistake Oh my god What an idiot it. Like that might be like top five all time fumble. Might be.

Giving up a Charmander. Dude, there's a Charzard right there. Yeah. Who was, uh, when you had to pick in the original red or blue? Yeah. Who was the first Pokemon you're taking?

So when I was a kid, I played Squirtle all the time because I thought blast toys with two cannons on was sick. And then like, give it like three or four years. And I was like, wait, Charmander turns into a giant dragon. Yeah.

Taking that guy. Yeah, I feel like, a, um, Boulbosaur wins. Yeah. Bobasaur. Bobasaur went on. I think he always got the,

you know, he's kind of the third option. That's what he ended up being my number one pick after a while. And I started, swirdle and ended up going to Bolasor. He was usually the hardest to use because he was very helpful

in like the first two gems. But then after that, the higher levels because it was super effective against like all the team rocket Pokemon was super affected. Against water. Like, it was good against certain ones,

but like when you got stronger, like there were just so many Pokemon that were. You had to really train before you went to those gyms. You had to have a solid team to go against it. Like, I think Blastery's and Charisard Ward is much easier to use. Yeah. Agreed.

Agreed. Agreed on that. Dude, no, thanks a Pokemon talk on the bus. That made me so happy. I know. It just brings you back.

I put so many hours in on a Pokemon and a harvest moon. We're talking about Harvest Moon. Harvest Moon? That's what a tear is heavy into that game was. I need to put it on. I've never really played it. Because what's the other one? The old one,

the old Harvest Moon was so much fun. Yeah. On the N-64? Yes. Yeah. PS2 is like the number two one, but I played that. What was it that came out that was similar to?

to Harvest Moon. Star or something? Star do. Star Valley? I played. That's exactly what it. Star Do Valley. But Harvest Moon was,

oh my gosh, we put so much time on that. I don't know. I didn't play that. Something about just creating a little village for yourself. Yeah. You can't.

Harder's moon was sick. Can't. Build your gardens and farm. Do you guys ever play Age of the Empire on your piece, like on your computer? I've never.

Oh, I take that back. I played. The only game I ever played on my computer was Diablo. Three. Expansion set. Fire.

I was, that game still might be my number one game. My only computer games were. I was number one, but it's definitely top three. That's it. Backyard games, backyard sports, backyard football, backyard baseball. Then you got, I would do triple play. I was into the baseball games a lot. Yeah.

And then roller coaster tycoon. I was a big tycoon. Dude, there was a class. That was a stage. It was a stage. It's like age of empire. It's just like, instead of building a roller coasters park, you're just building like a colony. You're just loving it up.

Like you start as caveman. And then by the end of it, you're like future technology. Isn't that like on your phone too now? I think so. They have that. I mean, it's basically, it's like what clash of clans is. Got you. It's the exact same thing.

It was just on a computer and like, you'd like be in the Roman Empire and like you just be building up troops and you go take over at the Roman Empire. I had a teammate of mine in college, Jake Ryan. We would play Smurf Village. It was like the same thing. I thought that game went so hard. Just make your little community. You're like designing it.

Chandler McGregor yeah I don't see any of the details I just someone was talking about it but like he's hurt right McGregor? It seems like it. That's like what the leaks are saying. Whatever it is. Yeah. It's just heartbreaking for the boy. It is a bummer for. He's been putting in fucking work. He's been down in Florida getting after it. And not only that, but he's been patient waiting for essentially this opportunity. Like his last fight was like two years ago. Yeah. Going on two years now. That sucks. Hopefully it's not a big injury and hopefully they can still schedule it.

Yeah. Right now, what the leaks have said is that it could be potentially reschedule. for in our leak being JPM, our guy on the, in the storm of it all, September October. Okay, well, that's not horrible. October date. Fair. What do you do? Like, he's in this mindset.

When was it supposed to be? Two weeks? Two weeks. Okay, so you're in this mindset. You're two weeks away from your fight, and then it gets postponed to three months. Mm-hmm. What do you do? Like, yeah.

Number one, eat your feelings for a little bit. Get back in the beer games. Get back in the beer games and get after it. That's a great call. you got it because you've had this like mindset of kill kill kill basically you know like every single day go go go so like why not come back participate in the beer

Olympics you can still have that kill mindset but you're with the boys yeah that could be a good start to his decompressing a little bit like this is yeah especially if it's like a lighter beer too it might not affect him yeah you've seen Mike that dude nothing nothing he's just like a pit bulled yeah he really is

he can drink really fast he is quick he was second after you, wasn't he? Because you have the most impressive shotgun I've ever seen. I appreciate that. Ever. Yeah, and it's not even close.

Will's a close like 200th. That's what it does. It's tough. He's top 250. Top 250. Did I? Did I, like, rivals. I'm going to beat you in the chug.

Not even close. How many seconds did you get last year? I think I was like 12. That's what I got. In the three beer chug? I got two tweez right here. Bud Light athlete. If you had a Bud Light, I would do it.

Believe that out. That's fair. That's so fair That's so fair No we can look up that though I know I was faster than you though Yeah you might All I'm saying is

You're coming with some disrespectful words And I'm saying I don't think we were too far off Well I just see you chug your beers like this Yeah Having a little fun with it But when I thought that was real You lie to your followers No no no no

So that's real? That yeah but that's all That's video That's not real life Like people slow that down Like that's just purely AI Dude this stuff was so funny

The best part of this was doing the confessional. There was so much fun. Oh my God. I was trying my best to not be a total idiot. Yeah, you move.

Yeah, you did better than I thought you wouldn't. He did better than I thought he would too. See, he didn't show. I mean, good enough for a chest bump like that? I was first because I didn't know about the boot tilt

and so me and Defo did not do great. Then everyone else started tilting it. I was like, Mike went nuts. Mike was quick. Shane just couldn't. Hey, O. Burr.

coming back you saw that is he bird has recommitted himself now that it's in nashville too you made will i've been saying that's hey we got to get the rookies back now sing the anthem yeah yeah yeah or fits fits is here now like he is in nashville i can do that what's that thing called yeah i want to get i want to get i want to get the r and he cooked us yeah yeah why isn't it doesn't show you though yeah i guess they just showed the cop guys oh this might be it yeah that's me i cross from bach and he beat the hell out of me. I also started,

because they said it doesn't start to you pick up your beer. So I took it a second. I waited a second. I was like, Bach was six. Yeah, he crushed it. I think I was like eight.

I will tell you like when Bach's, you guys went first. When Bach went, I thought to myself, he might be me. Yeah, then you, no.

No, then it went well, but I was insane, bro. That was the best tug of my life. We can take that liquid down. Open that broke. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. You get you excited. Mike got four? Yeah. Yeah, you were just underneath that. He knew it was on when Mike started doing this. Bro. He put down a lot of beer quickly.

I was like, wow, I'm so impressed by you. He is a tank, man. Imagine we get Mike back. Burke comes back, Mike comes back. George come back. What is holding you back from competing? I feel like I've drank enough beer this offseason. That's fair.

And all the talk about you not being able to work out for a month, I mean to gain 10 pounds. I don't need to drink it all makes sense. It all makes sense. I'm solid. I all have a pretty decently calm off season now. Are we doing Kittle Fest? Kittal Fest is still on. Okay.

July 6th. As of right now, I'm committed to it. That's fine. I'm not going to say what I want to say to that, but you know, you can show up if you want to show up. Say,

as of right now i'm fully on board 100% committed to you please uh give clear my best but I will be in Canada. Oh, as you should be. That sounds fun. Where are you going to be? I'll be in Colona, B.C. Oh, Taylor's favorite place. It's fun.

Is it? Oh, you're going to have a great time up there. Just spending time with your family. My family. Taylorin's family. Yeah. I can't wait. Are you, uh, are you close to water?

I don't want to get painted like this that bad. Are you close to water? Yeah, yeah. There's a bunch of lakes of stuff. Oh, please don't make you. This is going to be funny. No, because Taylorin's family watches this. on the guy we fucking knew he didn't want to come.

Taylor's best friend back home literally is like, I think Taylor hates Canada. He never seems happy when he's up here. I enjoy myself in Canada. Sounds like it. Yeah, for sure. Back and forth.

They do go pretty hard at America sometimes. You'd love celebrating the Fourth of July in Canada, don't you? I don't. Oh my gosh. I didn't even put that together. I'm bringing my American flag overall. I'll handle business. That's fine.

We're going to celebrate America again on July 6 at Kittle County Fair. God. So what's the change? the county fair. Why is it moving up? We just like did you have different themes every year. So like the first year we had at my property, it was Camp Kittle. And so we had RVs all over our property for our friends to stay in.

And then it was just felt like you're out of campsite the whole time. And then the next year was Club Kittle, which it was like live music, games and stuff like that. And then once it went dark, we opened up our brand new shed. And we had it like the whole thing was discoed out. And we had a live DJ. Got a hell of a mower in there. Great mower, 96 inch deck. a 60 inch deck one's diesel one's gas thank you x mark um fire nice thank you that was pretty good

i've explained that one but like a 96 inch deck mower is it's impressive it's a big deck thank you massive deck thank you um and then this year is the kiddell county fair because i was as a kid i really like the iowa state fair and then the minnesota has a huge state fair too and so we're going to have like a bunch of food trucks. I tried to get like a Ferris wheel and my insurance company said absolutely not, which fair. Fair. Fair. Fair.

Great shot though. I was trying to get a ferris wheel. I tried. Yeah. Or a scramble. That's a staple. So my next, my next one that I wanted was I wanted to get one of those like little kid roller coaster.

It's like a centipede that goes like one lap. You imagine the boys trying to that. You know there'd be a line too. They would be a line for that thing. They would be so funny. So I'm going to have some dunk takes like, like, the ring toss games. I'm working on. I got to find someone who has like like the BB gun game where you should.

shoot the targets. Like, I think that would be really fun or like the water gun version of that. Like just some of that. You have to pay to play though. Ooh. One to three dollars. Everything goes to charity.

One to three? Isn't that what it is usually at County Fares? County Fares do rake you over the coals. Oh, bro. That basketball game where like the rim is like bent in a way and it's super stiff. And if you hit anything but net, it's an automatic miss. Unreal.

That was like $10 for like one, maybe two shots. You need that Joe Dirt scene where the guys like spraying the pam on the little things trying to throw it on top of the bottles. I heard, I learned this. It was, there's like this pickle stand at the Minnesota State Fair, because I have some buddies who have, they have a stand at the Minnesota State Fair.

And it's like, apparently it's hard to get a license to get in there. But once you get in there, you're just like, you make tons of money. But there's a pickle stand there that over, whatever, however many days is,

they're making over $150,000. Are you serious? For like three to five days. What are they do with them pickles? Put them on a stick? It's a batter on a deep sign? It's legit. No, it's just pickle on a stick.

What? And you pay between four and six dollars for it? Of course. Why not? That is crazy to me. Can we get some turkey legs at the county fair? My wife really wants turkey legs. So we're working on that one too.

Next year, like a Renaissance theme, it would be awesome. Do, there's actually, I was up in Minneapolis, and I met this NHL guy. His name's Vinnie Lettieri. Super solid doing golfing with him and his dad. His dad's 100% Italian. He played, he was like, played soccer for Minnesota when they used have an MLS team. And now he opened up like pizza on a stick. And he's been at the Minnesota.

Pizza on a stick. he's been at the Minnesota State Fair for 37 years. And like they have their own, like they have a store too, like in Minneapolis, right? So like they do well. Like when you're at the Minnesota State Fair for 37 years, you're doing a good job. Yeah. But I'm trying to get him to bring his pizza on a stick to Kittlefest. Are we getting fireworks?

I don't know. I don't. I don't, I've never seen it. You could like, but like I'm pretty sure it's like it's his thing. Like he owns pizza on a stick. Genius. If I was, if I was going to open something up at the state fair, I don't know. I mean, it has to be like, it has to like cut up chunch, right?

So it looks like a kebob. That's what I would guess. Hey, Taylor just had a good idea. Dude, if I had to stay, if I was at the state fair, I had to open up something, I would make a like a THC type of beverage that you can sip on like a beer and just kind of chill with it. It goes up like a, like a buzz, goes down like a buzz. They actually have those. They're called can C-A-N-N.

Say hi to canned social tonics. Can social tonics spike their celtzers with weed. Each can is blended with five simple clean ingredients to deliver the perfect buzz and a buzz that does not backfire.

So I just want to say that your last like two ad reads totally lost in the sauce. Like I was like, oh, what are we talking about? And then add. And I was like, wow, you guys are good. Thanks, man. Hey, you got to try these. They are.

They're early. They're like. They're, you'd enjoy them. You know what? NFL, but yeah, sure, you know. Yeah, after you're done, whenever, whenever I'm done playing. We'll all have one can together. Right.

We'll all enjoy it. Retirement party. Retirement party. That kiddell test. Six pack of cans. My only last question about the county fair. Yeah. Is there going to be a fireworks show?

Working on that as well. That is. Like a good one, a high budget one. So like my wife loves to host and, and she likes to make things very, like, she likes people to enjoy themselves. and so it will be a fun firework show if I can get it like allowed right right right I do live like out in the country you have the right property for it but like I have a lot of trees on my property it's a wet landscape oh goodness gracious but uh yeah no I'm working on that as well so hopefully we

can make it like a full 4th July party it's got be fun yeah working on that I have that on the way as well. Do the boys want to come? If you're, yeah, you guys are in town. I'll shoot Will the invite and you can forward it to you guys. We won't get that forward.

The same thing happened last year. I'll get, what happened last year? I'll get your numbers as soon as this is over and I'll send it to you guys myself. Wait, oh, are you talking about I shot you guys a thing

where you got to make jackets? Did you ever get those jackets? That was tied in you. Yeah, so shot you the invite, right? Yeah. It was wild. We have a best. better planned for getting people the products that they create.

So because I know like we left them in like technically it was a locked room to give to guys. And then they were just weren't there the next day. So much is like, yeah. So we're just like it's like Scooby-Doo the mystery of the missing jacket. It's like what? That's such a premeditated hustle too. Like, hey, they're all here. We said we're going to do this.

Like let's just let's just take it. Let's just take it. Yeah. They're all. Like guys, are we sure we want to steal all these jackets? That are customized to the person. Yeah. You can't, like, I appreciate there are names on them.

Like, you can't sell, like, unless you just detach those. They're going to be at your guys' games supporting you guys. Someone's just wearing Claire Kittle jacket. Fantastic. Should we do some shout-out? Oh, you know shout-out. No free shout-out, George. Tell them just in case.

the concert you want to go through? Was everyone else invited or was it just a him thing? It wasn't really about invites or not. it was, hey, when's George going to come on the pod? Because we want to go to Bonarro. This was like four or five days ago. Yeah. And we were like, hey, George is coming back.

He's doing the boys as solid. He wants to sleep in a little bit. It could be in the afternoon. If you would have told me that. I could have showed up earlier if you wanted me to do. Listen. I don't like what they are getting this out of proportion. And it seems pretty normal.

They are purposely trying to make me feel terrible. And I do feel terrible. But yeah, shout out. Well, you're going to have fun tonight with all your wristbands on your wrist already. Yeah, absolutely. I'm going to get more tonight, too. Can't cut them off forever. No.

The only band I've ever had that has lasted more than two weeks is the band you gave me at Kittlefest last year. It's unbelievable. So is your shout-out, Bonnarum, Mitch? Yeah, just being able to, like, just festivals in general, you can see, like, all of your favorite artists all in one weekend, all in the same spot. Who's, uh, who's performing? Anyone that you're excited to see?

Last night was Big X, the plug. Bull. Oh. So I went out there and saw fire. And then drove back. You heard him? No. Such great music.

Who's this? Big X-a-plug. I mean, they're not from Texas. Great song. Mike is at 4.30. And then that one's going to be a miss. And then who else is tonight? He said that one's going to be a miss.

You never see? It's like a It's like a big mashup of like EDN. Maybe I've heard the song. It's, it's, they have 24 versions of their hour long and they take all like the best songs. They somehow mash them together for an hour long playlist.

It's a thing out. Check it out immediately. Oh, you'll, it's a big booty mix. Yeah. It's like, it's like dance music EDM.

Yeah. It's just upper energy. Yeah. It's fantastic. I'm a huge fan. It's like when that Lucy hits your lip. Ooh. Nice callback.

Nice call back. back right there. We got like a big group going. It'll be it'll be a good time. So shout out festivals. Beautiful. Next one. I love festivals. My shout out and every shout out goes to phone backgrounds. It's like a lot of people become slaves to their phone background where they're like they grow the sentimental attachment like nostalgia and they can't change it. I am the complete opposite and I have so many backgrounds, which it's almost the flip side of the coin where I'm now becoming a slave to too many backgrounds. So I need to find the healthy balance.

But I like being able to, you know, I got all the Camel Joe old cigarette ads, just some of my friends, cool photos. It's just, you know, kind of whatever you're feeling that day. And you kind of like promote the mood internally with your phone. So I like having a nice rotation of phone backgrounds. I'm going to change my now just because you said that. Let's go. See? We're starting a movement here.

So shout out to not being a slave to your background. But nostalgia's cool too. So whatever floats your boat. Yeah. My phone is froze. Which is I try to change it. Solid, solid shout out. So I shout out, Jack

My shout out No free shout out Goes to when you are cooking Stakes for your friends And you cook them perfectly Because there's nothing worse That if you do serve up You cut up with the steak

And it's well done It's the most embarrassing thing You can ever imagine Would you rather than well done Or you take it off way too early Take it off way too early Because then you can fix it But still

It's like when you get it first try You put it out there And it's good Still stings It's a great feeling I don't mind a well-bent steak G you got one Am I up or is

Go ahead George You got one you got one cooked up You know all just hearing what they were talking about Hi camera Hearing what they were saying My shout out No free shout out Is

I'll give you two First one is going to be I got to see the boys again Which has been fun And there's nothing like I think on like a three or four time guest, I think. Yeah.

And so to see your guys is to be like the very start, the first time I went on the bus in that back church parking lot to like here, it's been a very, it's been fun just to see this grow and the reach that you guys have. So I think that's been really fun. And I get to spend two hours with the boys talking about Pokemon and sports. Big Ten Stadium. Yeah. Big Ten stadiums.

I'm having a fantastic time. I'm not going to lie. So that'd be one. And my other one would be. Um, let's go with, I had my car worked on, my truck, and it was done efficiently. It was done quickly. And it didn't cost me a lot of money. And so I appreciate a good person, someone who works on a car and gets like checks all the boxes and doesn't like rake you over for your money.

Hmm. That's a good one. I'll get you Donnie's number. And at Wolf Customs and Franklin. Um, he does a great job for me. Was Donnie at Titan motoring before? Yeah, he was. You got you.

I know Donnie. Yeah, yeah. Forzberg introduced me to Donnie. Good guy. Saul dude, but like gave my truck. I told my mom him to fix on it, had it fixed very quickly. And he's like, yeah, you can come and get up. I was like, thanks, Donnie.

Got to love that. I just appreciate someone who gets it done and does it well. Great shoutouts. Great shoutouts. Thank you. I have a couple. Ooh. My first shoutout is going to go to Claire Kittle.

Just wanted to know, just massive fan of Claire. I really appreciate and respect what she's about. My second shout out is going to go to falling asleep on the couch. I enjoy watching some TV, dozing off, not really keeping up with whatever's on, and you fall asleep on the couch, and it doesn't matter what time.

And I'm talking more late night. And then you just wake up at 11.30, midnight, whatever it is, and make your way to the bedroom. But I enjoy falling asleep on the couch. And nobody like, you know, when Charles, I appreciate, I tell her, like, hey, if I fall asleep, like, just don't wake me up. Like, just do your thing and go to bed,

and then I'll make my way to bed. Like, I don't like to be woken up. I just like for the process to take place. Do you brush your teeth when you wake up and they go to bed? Absolutely. Absolutely. Face routine, brush my teeth. Of course.

You go straight from couch, face down on the bed. I go straight from couch. I'll start to just undress right there, lay my clothes, right there on the couch and then crawl in bed and sneak in bed like nothing ever happened. Fair. Yeah. No wake up. Don't wake up the misses.

Just crawl in bed. That's funny. That was there the whole time. You could just like fake, go to sleep, and you hear her go to sleep. but then you just get on play video games with the boys. Yeah, yeah. I do miss some late-night video game sessions. Dude, for real.

Speaking of, we just got some new Fiper Internet, so we're locked and loaded for Fiper. Fiper? Fiper? All I know is I was operating at like 70, what is it, bits per second? Megabytes. Megabytes? And now I'm at like 500, 600.

You're going to thoroughly enjoy downloading and up, like updating your game now is crazy. That is the most, that's the biggest thing. When we hop on and play risk or whatever we do, and there's an update, it's like, all right, boy, chalking up, we'll play tomorrow because it's going to take a, all night for you to download.

Fair. I have, uh, in California, I have like, uh, fiber internet. Yeah.

And like, like for me to download like a 60 gigabyte update from call duty less than 10 minutes. Oh my goodness. Like it just goes, that fires me. Woo. Uh,

it's the nicest. Starlink's really good too because I have that here in Nashville. And like that's been fantastic. I used to run. I used to have like an 18T portable like Wi-Fi. And that, because it was better than the Wi-Fi could get out of my property until I got Starlink.

Really? Brutal. So I would go. It's own shout out. Shout out of good Wi-Fi. Oh, shout out of your line. Starlink.

Great Wi-Fi. If you have great Wi-Fi, it just makes so many things easier. Yeah. Yeah, it's a solid shout-out. That is a solid shout-out. That is a good shout-out. Yeah, you go.

My shout-out goes to when you sleep in, my shout-out goes to a good night's sleep and your kids not waking you up in the morning. And you actually wake up and your kids are still sleeping. I have my last three, four weeks. 6 a.m. on the dot, Willow is in my face, like ready to play, ready to do whatever. And she doesn't wake me up gracefully.

It's a scream in my face. And it is actually terrifying. She just becomes sneakier with it, too, the way she like creeps downstairs. Yeah. And I don't hear her little flat feet, she just kind of sneaks right in and gets me. So last night I was up to 1 a.m. watching suits.

And I thought, I'm going to be dead tomorrow. And I am dead. However, my kids gave me that 7, that 730 block. which was really nice. My shout out goes to my kids letting me sleep in. So when you, two things. One, did you just, are you watching suits for the first time?

Watching suits for the first time. What season are you on? Season five. Toward the end of season five. Towards the end of season five. So you obviously no suits. Me and my wife gave up on it because it got really tough in the middle. Okay.

Season three and four, I see what you're saying. Season five is my favorite season so far. Oh, fantastic. They dive more into Harvey's background, his emotions, that thing you think, going to happen eventually actually does happen to Mike and that's how they all work through that process so I'm in the thick of it right now three and four we're just so tough for me and Claire and what I would say me and Claire is one of our worst things is that we give up on shows like if we lose

interest like we'll give it like three or four episodes if there's like four back to back to back episodes that are tough we're like let's pull the plug it's like do you really want to try to keep watching this no all right let's watch something else and because there's tons of great shows out there so it's like you're gonna watch something you're gonna find something that you like but it's like when you are like i don't know if it was like there was like 10 straight episodes of suits i was like oh dear what are you guys on now i mean i haven't i stopped watching on like 20 22 but i'm saying what are you and claire on now show wise um she we were when i first started dating claire shot at claire when i first started in claire in college what is it what is the deal with you and claire

nothing i was just joking yeah yeah i right in my head i'm just like playing yeah no she's you know claire was the very first person to see Charles engagement ring. Yeah. Because I received the engagement ring in an envelope when I was on the Saints. And you know, I was only there for a cup of coffee. And then when I go to, I had it in my backpack because obviously I'm not showing Charo. But it just sat in my backpack. And then when I was in Oakland, I remember being like, hey, the first opinion from a lady.

That's awesome, man. Yeah. Eric Magnuson. Yeah, Mags. Yeah. Moneybags, mags. Yeah. Dude, great thing.

Moneybags, Mags. That's what his nickname was for the night. And, um, which is just outrageous. But, uh, he makes two appearances in the receiver show. Does he really? He's in the trailer. He jumps on me after the Dallas Cowboys game. Um, and like he's in the trailer.

He said to me, he goes, you're, you're kidding me. How did I make, how did I make this? So awesome. So I was fun about that. Yeah, he's, he's, he's one of my favorite characters. I've, I've, I've had a pleasure on. Such a unique cat, man. I love mags.

Do the office of linemen are just, they're top tier people, man. Salt of the earth. There's just, there's not very many. ones that you don't like. Like, I would say it's like a 99% success rate. Yeah. Like they're just.

The easiest group to get along with by far. Yeah. Like, man, just, they're fantastic. Yeah. Fantastic. You really, you're,

yeah. I love that mentality. Any guy who appreciates blocking the way you do. I, like, I appreciate that. Like, George,

you are the man. When you go, hey, stop it. When you go to work with a right and left tackle every single day, and you work on your triple blocks and like, that's your period. And I get to work with Trent Williams,

Joe Staley. Mike McGlinchy, Colt McKivitts, like, that's really fun for me. Like, I have a great time doing that stuff. Like, I have so much fun training with those guys. God, man. Oh, sorry, the shows that you guys were on. I apologize. We did go off when I, that was interrupted.

Let's see. I need to watch. So we're rewatching when we first started dating. Scandal came out. And so I watched like half of that with her. What's your name, Carrie Washington? A show you'd recommend? I think it's really entertaining.

Like, there's also, there's a slow spot in it and Claire admits that, but like it picks back up at the end. But like the first two seasons are very excellent television. Like every episode's a cliffhanger. Every episode's pretty unique. There's like a background storyline that goes along the whole way, but like each episode is fresh. So I think like half a through season four or something like that. Like I'm still enjoying myself.

There's been a couple like overly dramatic episodes. I'm just like, come on. But besides that, it's a great show to watch your wife. One thing I love about Claire is she loves like. And also when we watch TV, I'm going to watch them. My wife wants to watch because if it's something that I want to watch, she doesn't like it. It's not very fun viewing session. I think that's for all husbands and your boyfriends out there.

Simple deal. Yeah. So, but she does a good job. She loves military shows. So, like, this past season, we got to watch. I introduced her to Band of Brothers and the Pacific, which is two fantastic TV shows. Masters of the Air. Yeah, we watch Master of the Air, too.

How good is that. Yeah. Banner Brothers is so good. Can't be Banner Brothers. Oh, my gosh. So that was really fun. I haven't seen it. Banner Brothers?

I haven't seen it. Do that look at the highest rated shows? No, it's. That's crazy. I know. It's crazy. I know. Do you love America or not?

It seems like I don't. It sounds like unity celebrate Fourth of July in Canada. It's not, it's not like we need to switch places. Yeah, you should switch places so he can come to Kittlefest. Yeah. That is wild, man. You got to. I got to beat you up anymore.

You know what you have to do. I also got to get TSA pre-check. No question. Dude. All right, I got one. Don't get mad at me, Claire. But so TSA pre-check, right? I had it.

And then they give you like a week before it expires. They shoot you an email that says, hey, fill this out in the next five days. And like the cutoff is like the day is 24 hours before you're about to blame your wife so hear me out for your own it's January 8th is the cutoff on it right January 8th I'm in the middle of a football season that's at the very end of the season and like I'm a little beat up's like all my time is spent on rehab tables or like on a phone call somebody that's helped me through some rehab processes your own selfish world yeah I'm like I'm in like that three foot box you're not I have nothing I don't even see my phone besides like a phone game on it like that's about all I'm doing on it and January 6th 7th or like it was like late january 8th i'm getting to bed she goes did you ever renew your tsa precheck i'm like what do you mean she goes oh you didn't get the email like 10 days ago about she renewed hers yeah she's like i renewed it like i renewed it like i renewed mine like a week ago i was like no i didn't see i get on to do it and they're like you miss the time window so now i don't so every time we fly together she goes through tsa precheck and i don't

i'll get it together we'll get it back together oh i need to get it i've never had it's right down the road. I know. We need to do it. It's not fine. I know. Dude, then I got to get global entry because that's way too easy. Because global entry has TSA precheck included. I didn't know that. And it's like, it's like, it's like $90 for like years. Just five more dollars than TSA. Yeah. Maybe it's $10 more. It's something like that. But it's like so easy. Yeah. So it was global entry the move. Yeah. Yeah. If you want to, if you're going to fly, like you're in like you're in like Europe or something like that, just coming back to the country. Yeah. You literally just, you go to a kiosk, you fill it in and you just walk through and you're done. Like it's super quick.

you don't have to pull your password I don't think I got to get on my shit but the process of getting it's a lot harder a little bit belike you have to like

TSA pre I went to Staples filled thing out I had in seven days fire with a global entry Taylor had to like go and like meet

Coupe. Coup had a good question the other day in the office. It kind of promoted a good conversation. And his was, so you were in a mall by yourself for 24 hours. Would you rather spend it with one fully grown silverback gorilla or five black mambas? You have to be there for 24 hours. What do you rather,

what animal would you rather have in there? One silverback gorilla, five black mambas, 24 hours mall. I think for me. How big of a mall? We're talking like, let's just say like a,

Like it's not Mall of America. Let's say Green Hills. Yeah, Green Hills Mall. Just like, not like a tiny department store, but it's a mall. It's got multiple stores, but it's, it's just you in there. You have no idea where anything is. I think I'm going gorilla because, dude, I am so terrified of snakes. Are you really?

I'm terrified of it. That's my biggest fear. Snakes? Yes. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You just found that out now? Yeah, that's crazy. After 281 episodes.

I had no idea. I've been pretty vocal, but my fear of snakes. I never knew you feared snakes. Oh, terrified. Even when Winn had that little lizard, I was like, oh, hey, yeah, yeah. I was going to tell him, maybe hold it. And I was like, yo, I don't think I just, I don't think I like reptiles. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't want snakes. It's also, clare's spiders. Really? Snakes can't do them. Yeah, I think I'll go gorilla. It's way worse. I think the biggest fear is that one in the mall, I feel like you have an idea of where the gorilla could be.

Yes. With the snakes, they could be anywhere. And there's fucking five of them. Right. Like the gorilla, like, there'll be a moment to where. you're obviously in survival mode, but once it calms down and you know where it is, like maybe you could fall asleep.

Or is it like, no, no, is it like 24 hours of like this thing has like an adrenaline shot? Oh yeah, it's an aggressive. It's an aggressive. Oh, so it's not multiple days, 24 hours. Okay, yeah, there's no sleep. Yeah, it's one of those where it's like you are. Maybe you can take a nap.

You ain't sleeping when there's snakes out there. No shot. You're sleeping with. I don't know, I think I would take the snakes just like, I think you have to. Like I would just go to an open area, try to get on top of something and have like some type of pole type of weapon and just those things are always up to something they're always up there are like you imagine

like they're literally the devil no like there's serpents hang on now the snakes they have to have adrenaline shots and shit too oh no they're aggressive for sure but like yeah i feel like my game plans i go to the food court spread out all the tables like make try to make some type of wall hopefully they're not crawling the ceiling above me and dropping on me because i guess that could i guess you could right about the night you can't think about the night what you'll be able to see the snakes coming bro do you not remember anaconda Oh yeah. Have what?

Yeah, but like that's a scene That's a giant snake Doesn't matter, dude. They made a movie about a snake killing people. Yeah, I remember watching it.

Guerrillas guys was what? King Kong. Orama. Planet of the AIDS. Mighty Joe Young. I don't even know what that is. Fire.

Mighty Joe Young? Oh, was that Disney? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got to rewatch that movie now. That's a good movie. It was like a Disney Channel original or

Yeah, it's like natural movie. The old school like VHS. Is it really? Is it? Rampage? So. good. Rampage as well.

Yeah, but Anaconda, though, right? Anaconda was a crazy fucking movie. There's nothing. Give it the gorilla. But like,

where do you hide from that thing? Dude, I go in the elevator, go in the elevator. Once you get out of the site with it, you can find it something. Like,

do I get like an hour ahead start? Or is it like he, like we enter on one side, it enters on the other side of the mall. And it's like, yeah, I think it's one of those, like you enter the same time.

You're not in the same entrance, but, you know, and it's like, once nighttime comes. There's not like power going on Like you're using the sun and things like it's just like a mall Like they're not the power's not gonna be on at night

Oh okay the dead vibe So the lights go off the night like a normal I don't think we might be dead no matter what You walk in the mall You run to Antiannis You grab as much of those cinnamon pretzels as possible You go to the elevator and you press the emergency close And then the ring just goes off for 24 hours

And you set up shark I don't but like he can just open Get you an iPad He just opens the door And then he just fucking goes through the room going to be mad at the clothes and shit he's not coming at you he doesn't know you there he's he's seeing the mannequins and beating the shit of the manniquets he's got a hole it's still a monkey it'll be distracted like the snakes aren't getting through there think if you're on the second

floor in the middle and he's got to go to a side to come up like you you'll you'll be able they're notorious for climbing shit they wouldn't be able to some of them more what if he like what if he just opens the door above you and just jumps on it until it just gives out and then you just fall to your death okay so we're talking about we're talking about like a legit planet of the ape type of situation. This dude, if this dude can talk and move and grab a shield and a spear and come after me, then we had a whole different ball game going on.

But I'm saying if a monkey or a gorilla is in a mall, I'm going to Antiannis and I'm going to go close the elevator door. I'm going to hit the emergency button and I'm chilling for 24 hours. I don't hate it. I'll have a ringing my ear for two weeks after and I'm done. I don't hate it. The snakes? Wildcards. And if you die no matter what?

They can do whatever they want. Carvasses? Hey, and if you die no matter what, I think you just want to be mulled by a gorilla versus hearing like Like right before your death, bro. Die by a snake. It's one, I mean, I don't know how venomous. Like what if he just punches you? But one bite.

You've seen Ace Ventura and the silverback gorilla takes the bad guy to the bushes? That'd be you. Yeah, dude. So you're going snake. I think I would go snake. Because I just think snakes, snakes, five of them.

But I just feel like there's nothing you can do to fight off a gorilla. Like, unless there's like, you know, a sporting good story. Dude, snakes are deceptive and sneaky. I know, but like, just when you're kind of, maybe they're gone.

You just hear a, I'm going to find a golf galaxy and have a golf club. I'm like, maybe I can swing off a head or something like that. No, you don't get to do that because if this gorilla has the brain power to open a, open up a door. The apees, open up the door, jump on the thing, go where you're at, only try to get you. I mean, like, I feel like snakes are going to be able to withstand your, no, no, I'm just, we're saying about the elevator. It's like, I think if it knew you're in there, it would do everything it could to get in there.

Like, if you got in there sneakily and like it didn't know you're in there, maybe it never searches you. But if it sees you go in there, it knows you're in there. It's going to beat that door down. Dude, watch any movie. Watch any movie with an animal. They get aggressive towards the little thing. If you go into an elevator, they get aggressive and they sneak off in the distance. Goofy movie.

I know, we're saying that this thing just has an adrenaline job at the whole time. But like, if I got to an elevator, the snakes are going to chase me in there too, and they're going to find a way into that thing. I don't stand a chance in that. I just think with a snake, like, if you get complete open area and like you can see them coming to some extent. My palms are sweating. Just thinking about snakes.

The back of my knees are sweaty. Like, I'm uncomfortable right now. I'll just beat that gorilla's ass, dude. With grit. I just noticed your shirt. Thanks for supporting. Of course, man. You know what's really fun is you guys have sent me so.

many awesome care packages that all the guys who are selling the team with all those care packages, they wear them all the time. I love that. That juices me up. It does seem like the 49ers are like the number one supporters of us with the boys. Hang on. Time on. The amount of people who asked me for the hats is insane. Like I had a rookie asked me for he goes, do you sell those buzz with the boys hats? Someone told me that

you gave them to everybody. I was like, those two years ago. No, I don't have any hats. The 49er color, the boys, they're like the best seller, yeah. Well, I mean, when the boy McCaffrey put that on. Oh, yeah. That helps. He bought that hat in Carolina. It's great. He's been about it for a while.

It's great. The boys hats are fantastic. I saw you guys had it, it was in the crowd of, was it a baseball game or something like that? Yeah, a kid, a kid was wearing the boys hat. Did you know what's happening this weekend? NASCAR. Yes. NASCAR is heading to Nashville for the last weekend of June over halfway through the season.

So there are only a handful more spots. This is this weekend. More for available drivers to secure their spot in the playoffs to celebrate the culture of Music City. The winner of the race receives a custom guitar as a trophy. Don't miss out on a weekend filled with fast cars and guitars. Purchase your tickets today for NASCAR at Nashville Super Speedway on Sunday, June 30th. I, dude, obviously I get a little joy, Taylor, as you know, bringing up something like this. But also, I feel like it just has to be brought up.

So that way, George can say whatever, you can say whatever. And it just goes back to being like squashed and done. But you're talking about all the support of the 49ers locker room. How'd the boys feel about the take on Brock Purdy last year. I'm sorry. You know I get a little bit of joy, but I got to bring up. I know. The crazy thing is,

is like I was looking at my phone, so I didn't catch the full context. I missed it too. I looked up and I just heard. I do remember Taylor having a great quote on Brock Purdy about, no, he's just not the guy. But after your guys is like lost,

like when you guys are down a little bit. Yeah, no. I was talking for the kill. Like just coming for the kill. Like just coming for the kill. Yeah. But, you know, really is. you know, there's things that when you're on in front of a microphone all the time,

there's things that you might get coerced in a sane or, you know, you have to try to give headlines once in a while. So I don't hate him for that. And he's never personally about Brock. Like, I don't think Taylor would ever say anything like that about me or Chris McCaffier or like the guys that he knows. I would. You would?

No, no, I wouldn't. That's tough. But like, it is what it is. It's a take. It's a headline. People are going to talk about it. You know, Taylor gets a spotlight on for a little bit. He loves that.

Yeah. Baking for it after ever since football has ended for me, I need it. That's why you're on podcast. No question. No, but like, I just, I was just like, ah, Michigan guy. Like, it is what it is. Not too worried about it. And they're like, I had no animosity towards Taylor for it.

Like, it's a take and it is what it is. And it just gives the boy Brock. I don't know if Brock even saw it. Oh, Brock saw it. Daddy? Because we got to, we addressed. Oh, he 100% saw it. And I will say this.

First off, shout out to you and CMC for calling me out and being like, hey, what are we doing? That is a for sure bro thing to do for your boy, Brock. Yeah. to Brock's face, apologize at the Super Bowl. Apologize. Waited my turn in media. Raise my hands to hey, Brock. Super polite.

Want to apologize? Yeah. And we have that on film, too. Of me saying, sorry. That was a bad deal. That was talking to you. Oh, yeah. All of my takes on quarterbacks have been wrong.

A Niners fans, Taylor is a, he's a solid dude. It's okay. Thanks, man. Please clip that for a love of time. He's a solid dude. Occasion makes a mistake. It's okay. Sol a dude, though. Yeah, dude, I do mess with the Niners, man.

incredible I was rude for you guys in the Super Bowl I don't believe you I was no for real okay that's fine absolutely no he was I think I think when it got to that point it's like how do you root against or how do you like bed or whatever against Mahomes in the Super Bowl that was your thought probably I actually just wanted the Niners to win my thought was the chiefs have had it a couple times I would love to have the boys win it you just stayed on the narrative of like I hate the Chiefs for whatever reason you've you've single-handedly given the bulletin board material for the Chiefs to win the last two Super Bowls

If they have to win in spite of me, so be it. Don't do it again, man. Just more, more shit. But yeah, yeah, yeah, that was kind of. That was funny, though. That was wrong. It's okay. I feel bad.

No, man. Say some bad things about me. I'd be like as he was saying the answer, he got his couple. He got a shot. I got a couple shots in there, a couple jabs. I think you need more tattoos. That'd be my. I got one little spot right here that I need to get right done.

Oh. spot. That's where my scars are if you want to see them later. I want to see them now. Not on camera. Oh, they're bad? They get,

they, no, it's just pretty low. There's some footage. Nice. Cut the lights. Cut the lights. I think we're selling.

It's been a fun pod. I feel like we still need to continue to talk. So that way. What's the best concert you guys have ever been to? Mitch can't. Dude, honestly last year, Bonaroo.

Was it fun? Yeah. Got to see. Like, what time did you get there at? Oh, like, no, we were in there in the afternoon and we stayed to probably like 2 a.m. after Odessa. Because the afternoon, the afternoon shows are really fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You wouldn't want to miss those. Don't want to miss those. Right around the two. You want to be there probably like 2.2.30 so you can enjoy who's. And like you might beat a lot of people there because a lot of people are coming in for the night traffic too. So like maybe you're caught in traffic if you leave anytime after 2 o'clock. Get a little closer to the stage. It's tough.

Hate to see that. Um, but yeah, Bonner, last year, Odessa, they absolutely crushed it. Odette. I remember that and I couldn't go. Wow. Do you have room in your car? Yes. You don't want to go in his car, bro. You think my wife? No, I can't do that.

That's not very fun for me. That would be so sick if I showed up to Bonnerwood, George Boll. I've always wanted to go to Bonner. What's been your favorite concert? When I was 19, my freshman year at Iowa, we didn't make a bowl game. We won our first four games and we lost eight straight. Oh, no. Super, super tough.

And then something like that. And then we, um, something like that. So, um, my dad was coach in Oklahoma and they were playing, uh, A&M in the Cotton Bowl, the Johnny Mansell game when he had like broke a bunch of records. But so we were down in Dallas for that week and they had lights all night. Uh, and I got to see Tiesto, um, heads were roll by A tracks. Calvin Harris and, um, the nervo twins. And so like I, and I was just like my first rave concert like that ever.

And I was just like, this is amazing. I had a great time. I was 19 in there. Like my sister and her friends are all getting lit and I'm just standing there like having an absolute banger of the time. Are you sober? Um, yeah, I was, dude, I was 19, man. Totally sober.

He wasn't of age. Jeez, dude. That's crazy. Mitch. I had a great time. I promised to that. He's in 19, Mitch. But also, Botter Rock in Napa Valley is insane.

It's the nicest festival I think you can go to. Everything's turfed. There's no dirt. Everything's beautiful. And they have like, if you, like the VIP cards, like they have buildings like, that have like beautiful like like wonderful like like wonderful wines food it's kind of like a wine party except that everything is like but at the same time everyone there's just shit-faced and they

have like anywhere from pink to post malone to counting crows to red out chili peppers metallica like it was every type of music is there yeah it was that i go i usually go there it's a memorial it's over a memorial day that sounds like a banger yeah napa's such an interesting place i got a meet I met Keanu Reeves there last year. Really? Oh, that's right. So they have this thing, and they have like a side stage where like they do like cooking and stuff up there because like one of the bigger sponsors.

I can't remember the name of it and I feel horrible. But they like have their own private stage. And there's a crowd out there. And so like I would go up there on stage with Claire and like we did like a cooking competition against the Bella Twins. Like how fun is that for WWE wrestlers? And they're awesome. And then like another year I was up there and like it just like do a little fun thing.

front of the crowd but then uh kiano he plays uh the bass in a band and so they performed and then yeah of course right yeah like just a side that's side side quest yeah and so then afterwards um they did they did like a little cooking thing on that stage and i got to meet him afterwards what's he like in person cool like exactly like just super nice super cool very chill like what's up man i was like i love you you're amazing dude like thank you for being so cool he just oh bro that's That's so awesome. Like, I love, so cool. That's awesome.

He's just very quiet to himself, but it would just like, appreciate your support. Like, I think, like, he has to be one of the most famous people. I think I've never met. Yeah, he's up. You take his Jason Bourne or John Wick. In a fight? John Wick, you can't die. Yes, sir.

He can't die. What's the last time he's in the Jason Bourne movies? Uh, probably like three years ago I watched them all. I grew up Matrix. Then you should be more informed. Why? It sounds like he is the most informed. And he, that's his take.

Well, wait. Okay. like you're like one-on-one like is it like a mission that they get to go kill each other or is it like yeah it's a one-on-one game the beeper goes off they're they're they're each their target they're they are each their own just think about this john how think about how much help john wick had in those four movies now think about the born movies how much help did born have he didn't he was just always one step ahead everybody else in his hand-to-hand combat is nuts in the caliber of i will say he did kill her out of the book but so did john wick

His opponents. I'm John Wick. I'm pro John Wick. The one thing about John Wick, though, is like he doesn't really miss any shots. Oh, he misses. He also has a bulletproof suit on. Jason does not. True.

True. It got rid of- Multiple times. He got his ass be all over the yard. Who's another? That dude could move. That dude can move. Who's another, like, version of that who would, like, be a good fight, like, Indiana

Jones type? Like, another. Indiana Jones. He died. He could get body. But like, who's another character? Equalizer. Equalizer?

Liam Neeson. Too old. Taken? No, he's screwed. To old. Extraction effect. He gets shot a lot. Extraction on Netflix?

No, I haven't seen it. Super fun. Really? Yeah, the first one's really fun. I need to see it. Yeah, the second one's still, it's still good too. It's just literally action for two hours. They have like a, they have like a 15-minute chase scene.

That's one cut. It's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. No shit. I went back and I just rewind. I watched it through again because it's later with one camera shot and it chases him for 15 minutes. I'm just beating the hell out of people.

I'm not with that. That sounds cool, but that's a great one for your flight. It's a great one for your flight in Canada. He's like, no, we got Jason Moore. I still think Jason Bourne over John Witt.

I loved everything you just said about extraction, and I'll definitely give that a look. On your way to Canada for the 4th July, you should definitely watch extraction with your wife's family. I will. I will watch the Patriot.

I would go to you guys in the baby. I'm going to watch Masters of the Air, saving Private Ryan. Miracle. Oh, I didn't really watch me. That's what I'm going to watch, man. Man, I can't wait to get the game. Braveheart.

I'm so excited. You keep saying that, then side eyeing somebody else? It's just funny because we, like, there's like a, it's very well known that my wife's family watches this show. And I have, I do like. And it's very well known that Taylor. I love Canada. No, no, no, dude. I enjoy going to Canada.

But I think it's funny that Taylorin's family, like, gives me a hard time for being American. But then I'll say something about Canada and they act like the stereotypical American does about their country. And so they just kind of play they play themselves It's fun And then I sit here and then I have to get calls They call Talon Tailon talks to me about it It's like in the middle of that way he's like

And then they hear what I say about Canada Just do the montage of what Taylor says about Canada And then bring it back to where We are now Yeah I had a whole thing about how Canada is more dangerous In America because I lived in America for 32 years And I've had three crimes committed on me But I've spent probably nine months of my life

Total in Canada And I've had one crime committed against me The math The math just plays out that way. I got an argument with, I was just talking about how America's the best. And Talen's mom, Tanna, said something about our schools and all this.

And then I said something about Trudeau and they, they got proud people on me. They got on me. They got on my ass. I don't know if it was Trudeau or not, but they, I just remember them, I'm thinking to myself like,

yo, this is how an American would react to the things I'm saying. What a, they're not that different. What a fun family vacation. People aren't that. They're proud.

Yeah. They like living there. But yeah. There's bears and stuff. Canada is the one place I go to when I go outside at night. I do get, I'm nervous. I guess I don't know.

You know what's out there. Yeah. Got the coos, got the bears. Black mamas. No, I know black mamas up there. That's scary.

Didn't you say the average show on leagues was like an hour 30 to an hour of 45? Yeah. Yeah. We're breaking records over here. We've crushed it. It's been a great podcast. I know. Anything else you want to talk about?

Canada, too. I don't think so. Did you really guys, did you guys really not know the OT rules? overtime yeah um like pretty sure majority of the country when that happened i'm pretty sure it was explained to us at one point yeah but like for me like i don't this is my thing like with the uproar about it was like i never really understood why it mattered that the player didn't know besides the fact like and i also i knew that we were going to do what we did because our defense just got like ran up the

field over the course like six minutes i think they're exhausted so i was like there's no way we're going to put them back on the field. You can't. It's like I feel like we all knew what we were going to do. But I was like, I mean, I'm just going to do whatever the coach asked me to do. Like I don't really what was the right. Like whatever he says like whether we go offense or defense first, like I'm just going to go out there and do my job.

Right. Right. You're just going to go do your thing. Yeah. The only thing that I didn't know, I didn't know that it was like if that quarter of ended, it just goes into a second quarter. There's not like a time limit really on it. Like both teams get their drive.

Yeah. I feel like I was learning about it too like in real time. But I think like our coaching staff. does a great job every single like every week they like rules around the league and like we I think we know a lot about like that a lot of teams might not cover I think we do a really good job about that so I was surprised when like that I came out because I'm pretty sure we went over that yeah so yeah people seem pretty upset yeah juice had a hell of a call he was like I had no idea I was like juice I'm pretty sure we did have an idea he got crushed I was like dude

I'm pretty sure we did know she was Harvard man like you're you know this I promise you know this baby that's somebody that's just ready hey call the place doesn't matter. You have no clue. Yeah, just call the play, man. He knows what he's doing. Yeah. Oh.
