Episode Date: March 17, 2026

Will Compton & Taylor Lewan are back with another electric episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, featuring 49ers All-Pro tight end George Kittle.

Kittle opens up about his achilles recovery and gives his stamp of approval on Robert Saleh. The conversation goes everywhere — from conspiracies and Achilles injuries to Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, and locker-room dynamics around the league. The boys also get into MORE Nashville food talk, Pokemon nostalgia, spring tour updates, and a heated George vs Will debate. The Boys then wrap the episode with some Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings talk while reviewing their favorite tv series. If you’re here for football insight, ridiculous stories, and unfiltered locker room energy — you’re in the right place.

Taylor and I, a few episodes ago, we're talking about the year of the audience, things that we're going to do to incorporate the audience. We've been in the think tank with the boys. One necessary thing that we are doing

is we are going to do a much better job of including you guys into our conversations. All the tier ones out there who comment week in and week out who have been following us for how long we've been going? Buddy, it's been longer than my brain can remember. Well, I think we're going on year seven. This is your seven. I think it'll be seven in May.

Yeah. Seven in May. That's big. Got to respect that number. Respect to seven. Respect to seven. But for everybody who's been rocking with us for so long, we need to do, we are making it a priority

to do a better job of engaging with you guys because you guys have been ride or die with us for going on your seven. Okay, a few different ways now. We saw all the comments, you guys absolutely loving the Luke Combs interview. We're going to get to those in a second. Which episode was that? That was 371? That was 371.

This is 372. So that is the last episode we saw the comments of. Yes. Got you. Go ahead. My fault. For future, when we talk about doing hashtag, tag tier talk. You're going to have to follow us on our social channels at Bus and WTB.

When we drop our tier talks, it's usually around every Sunday, Sunday evening, Monday morning. You guys can chime in. All you have to do is use hashtag tier talk. Those tier talk questions, those tier talk comments will be featured at the end of our intro portion before we get into the interview. Now the interviews, there's been a change with the interviews. You guys will now know who we're going to be interviewing ahead of time instead of the guests, the guest that we've been doing for the last however many years all the years long time so you guys like george kiddle right now he's going to be joining the boys we have not interviewed him yet it is monday morning uh the 16th of march george is coming this afternoon that tweet is right now up to gather any comments questions as you guys

might have for our guests so we will ask those questions to our guests those are three different options three different ways for you guys to engage in the comments on youtube in the comments on spotify i don't know if there's a comment section on apple pots wherever you're getting your podcast on social media at bus and wtb uh that is where you will find all of that stuff yeah now there that was first off will incredibly well put the glasses are on we saw a comment earlier the minute the glasses come on that's when you start to get very in depth about that now now there's a lot of blue-collar boys rip into work right now who are just all they're hearing right now is hey you got some change coming my way you're talking about change on the podcast i like my

podcast the way it is listen we're rounding out we're getting we're starting to stare down hey there might be a decade we might be looking at a decade it's a far away still in the future of bust with the boys where we could say for the last 10 years we've been doing something now that we're hit in year seven and we know that this podcast will watch listen subscribe comment and do all the things to engage with this podcast it's about time that will content tell the one the boys in the back of the bus and all bus with the boys in its entirety start giving back to you and that's going to be a big thing this entire year hence the phrase year of the audience now we're just taking those beautiful comments you guys put on our podcast every single week And we're displaying for more people who might be a little shy to put their fingers on a keyboard. Might be a little shy about putting their thumbs on a smartphone to type in with their thoughts, their ambitions, their words, their comments might be. And we wanted to display that because at the end of the day, boys, we're just a village. And as this bus grows into a preteen, we just want you guys to know it takes you guys to help build this up too.

All right, we got some nice fun things. You see more microphones in the back going on here. Jared lost the shit because the HDMI cord kind of got jingled a little bit. But we got callbacks. And those callbacks have come from the Luke Combs episode. If you don't mind, really, I'd like to read the first one. And it has to do with you. This is at Muts, S-A-8.

Mutsa-8. All right, this man says, year-10 board shorts for his pro-day are killing me. And he's got too many cry, laughy faces to count. I love this comment because we spent not just one episode of the intro for the Luke Combs, but the one that I was not a part of with Clay Matthews, is where you guys talked about your pro day. and buddy the choices you made from stylistically

yeah that's like looking old NBA you know draft day suits type of fits yeah I we broke that down when I watched that video I am like amazed that that was for whatever reason I thought that was high fashion I thought it was sick

you put the you put the whole black on and you're like I can see the V my jaw line looks strong I know my ass always looks great from these types of shorts is my favorite shorts Yeah. And you went out there and you got those little arms and you started running. It's one of those vibes.

Like I feel like we all know those. We go through those phases. Like I had a long hair phase back in middle school. I had like Mitch, we busted his balls before about his neon phase when we looked back and he was fully neoned out. I went through a phase of that like my rookie year because I saw Alfred Morris and some of the studs operating with all the neon. I feel like that was just a phase I look back on and I'm like, ah.

Maybe that was hot. Maybe that was hot back then. If we're being vulnerable right now, if we're being vulnerable about phases right now, Yeah, I went through a holster face, pink-colored shirt face. Yeah. I felt like that was. Yeah, I had true religion jeans on for a minute. Yeah, I did, okay, guys?

Yeah, maybe some of them wore bedazzled. And sometimes that's just a face. Remember the, what was the face? The UFC shirts. I remember I got, oh, affliction. Affliction. Affliction. I went through that face, too.

I went through that face too. Going into buckle. I got my first Rampage Jackson Affliction shirt. Ed Hardy, anyone? Ed Hardy. Yeah, they were also... Ed Hardy was way more expensive. Yeah.

But I remember going to these, like, stores and make $100 a t-shirt. My mom'd be like, you can get one and let it work. Let it cook for you for a month. She didn't say that that cool, but, you know. Yeah. We got it done.

I was heavy in the Aeropostal. And Hollister in the back... Hold on. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, hold on. Aeropostle. Aeropostle. I believe it was.

Aeropostle. Oh, you okay. Wait, wait, wait. Is that nice thing? The glasses come on. The pronunciation gets crazy. I think it's Air Apostle. Arapostal?

Is it? I know there's a T in there, but I think the T's sound it. Araposal, I believe. There's no T. Arapostal. Aropostal. Look it up. Look up the phonetic spelling.

Aeropostal. I think it's Arapostle. Arapostle. Arapostle. While you're breaking down the Arapostal situation, I want to just be one more hand up. Britney Spears, oops, I did it again. I'm eight years old. I remember getting that CD, putting it in.

There are a little system we had playing it and dancing to it. And I specifically remember Dave Luan looking at Kelly Riley and going, it's a phase, right? It's a face. Yeah, but it was. I think that song still hits. I think that was everybody in that phase. That song still hits.

That's not one. Like, if you say the Britney Spears CD, everybody's kind of like, yeah, I was rocking with that too. I think so. Not one where you start, like, just want the shorts. I see the shorts and we all kind of laugh. And I'm like, oh, shit, I guess I missed on that one. See, I think back then it's like, yeah, it's tough to look at now.

You're looking like a T-Rex from Jurassic Park, we're into 40. But like, the form was great. The hand, the hardest thing I was with the hand whisk. Like you're like clawing. I looked like you're trying to swim through that air. I could get out though. Allegedly, that's still, that's still allegedly. It's not alleged.

Good vibes. It's not allegedly. Like, it's fact. I need one scout to come out and say, we clocked them at a four, five, six. They clocked so many 40s, I'm sure they don't even remember. You're going to remember a short white boy running a four, five, six. Yeah, like I can hit up my teammates from that day. I want Sue to admit it.

Sue wasn't there. Team stole. Arrow Paul stole. Arrow pastel. So you were right. Team stole. You were right. The glasses come on.

The glasses come on. Clark Kent. He's in the building right now. This is just a simple. Because again, Nicholas Lopez, 6814, he's the one who said, Willie C puts on the glasses and now explains stuff deeply. Now, and now explains stuff deeply unnecessary amount, L.O. Yeah, he, he, he, he, he's,

I was like, I read it. He doesn't have glasses. Yeah, he doesn't have glasses. I think that might be one of my burner accounts. That wrote that. That's tough. The macro on the micro. But yes, the your breakdown of Max Crosby and the situation, because at the time we were filming this intro last week, it was Max Crosby going to the Ravens. And now what's leadership going to look like? Yeah. It was kind of like Max versus the Raiders. Yeah. Now Max is back. Now Max is like, yeah, fuck it. I'm not leaving. Yeah. Now he's all in. He's all in. Hey, did I not? Can we just, did you guys feel like I was dialed in the Macs situation last week? Like you seem like you knew inside ball. Okay. Because people were thinking, oh, it's just business. It is just business.

Like the Ravens didn't do anything illegal. Like they made a very evil genius play. You want to break that down a little bit? Like what I mean by that? No, no. I saw the tweet. And when I saw the tweet the night that they failed Max Crosby first, physical and you started was a Ryan Ryan Grant

Ryan Grant pull him out yeah insert somebody like I saw that I was like wow that'd be diabolical if that actually happened then Troy Hendrickson happens literally the next day the next morning so Christobal Willie is kind of what we're looking at right now yeah because you call you also called Mike Evans called Mike Evans called Mike Evans and didn't he call Kyler Murray to the Vikings I was hopeful I was hopeful but hey hopeful called it whatever you said something before it happened then it happened therefore you're a

wizard, dude. If this was, if this was the 1700s and we lived in Salem, your ass is getting lit on fire. Yeah, I mean, I was on top of it last week. You were on top of it. What was on top of it? What was on top of it last week? What do you have for us this week? I don't really have nothing this week. Nebraska is going to be Troy. Clean take. Clean take. Nebraska's taking down Troy. First ever win in the March Madness tournament. Which did you? I know you, I know you saw it. I commented on it. But our team putting that graphic. up that Nebraska basketball is ONA all time and NCAA tournaments.

That's fine. I saw that and I'm just like, what are we trying to accomplish here? Just make will... The 4-640, Nebraska's lost every game. I didn't mind that graphic. People need to know that we are set to make history this year. We've never been to four seed.

We know what did we start, 20-something-0. Never did that in the Nebraska's history of Nebraska basketball and Nebraska. We don't have Tom and Oga anymore. Yeah. he was excited he all have rink mast

Sam Hoyberg yeah that's right Fred Hoyberg is the coach right yeah stud yeah that's

he's a good coach that's about as deep as my bag goes but I'm diving in this week Nebraska fans hate it but we're a four seed we're in the tournament

we got Troy and we're about to set history this Thursday get one yep get one and get out get one yeah

oh get out what do you mean right make history and then let's we're a four seed bro. I know.

Like we got a shot. It's really good. It's a very uphill battle. Like Michigan's really good from what I hear. Michigan's a one seed. Duke. What do you know? They're still amazing.

Who know? Yeah, Blue Devils. They've been amazing forever. Right. Little Sacri Lidge. Maybe changed that. I heard about Arizona.

Florida. Just learn. They won it last year. Just learn. What do you mean? We were about it last year. We were about it for the first couple rounds. This is what y'all will be, well.

Y'all got Troy in the first round. Then you play the winner of Vandy and McNeese. McNeese. Magnese. They were our dark ones. Hey, that was our, we got a massive bonus bet from that. Yeah.

And then say you win those and then say Florida beats Iowa because Iowa will beat Clemson. So it will be a matchup of the four versus the one, Nebraska versus Florida. And honestly, when it comes to one seeds, Nebraska, they just lost, I mean, Florida just lost to Vandy in the SEC tournament. Florida is very good. But when it comes to one seeds, that might be the one seed that you want to see. And defending champs. True. So here's one thing about losing your conference championship, though.

Losing your conference championship when you are a one seed, I think it's motivation that's chip on the shoulder that, hey, we haven't made it yet. They probably don't care. If you already know you're going to be a one seed, you're probably not even. Why do you feel that way? What do I feel that way? I just think, you know, teams that are really good and they happen to be one seats and they lose their conference championship, they're probably like, like we'll just said, we don't care.

That's actually the motivation we needed. We needed that. Somebody told me I fell off who I needed that. That's a great quote. All right, that's how they thought right there. That's a Drake lyric. That's a Drake lyric right there. So I feel like they played that song, bang, and now we're in the tournament.

Florida is probably feeling that way. Whatever other teams might have lost their conference championship as well as a one seed. They, I promise feel that way. I promise they feel that way. By the way, completely... Purdue's good. Oh, I don't even thinking about it. Yeah, Purdue's good.

The clean take. Purdue's a good ball club. They won the Big Ten championship. On a completely separate note, Michigan's a one seed. Michigan's a good basketball. That's a good ball club. That's a clean take. Michigan's good at basketball as well.

Also, we're number one in hockey too. Okay. Michigan's having a good little year. Yeah. Sports year. Football got to pick it up a little bit, right? We got to pick up a... J.P., you got the bracket for me? Yes, sir. Georgia versus St. Louis.

Then they would have to take on probably Texas Tech. And then let's see, it kind of gets tricky when I'm on my phone and I'm trying to Zoom out. Sure, I know you're walking off the bus, but when you get back to the computer that we're rocking on the episode, can you pull up the bracket? Michigan has, as the one seed, Michigan has the best path to the final four because at the bottom of their bracket is Iowa State, Kentucky, and Virginia. Which I've saw a couple things.

Kentucky could be, they have a tough first round matchup. They do. They're playing Santa Clara. Santa Clara. I hear Santa Clara. I hear Santa Clara. They hustle. Kind of nice. A seven to ten matchup is always a fun one.

But yeah, man, I mean, if you're, again, if you're the one seed, this is the part of the bracket you want to be in. Yeah, that's everything I was seeing on Michigan Twitter last night is like, if you're going to be a one seed, you want to be in the bracket that Michigan's in. The quotes at the bottom were, now we just don't got to fuck it up. Yeah. Texas Tech honestly has the 5C. They might be the sleeper team. Texas Tech happened to come up. This is the whole game, dude.

If you have size and you can shoot and you have shooters, size, shooters, you get boards and buckets that equates to a W. Can I add one thing to that? Great passing as well, right? Fundamental. Don't turn the ball over. Day A. Which is kind of, the couple of Michigan games I've watched.

The one against Nebraska. We had like 11 turnovers. If you're good at basketball and you shoot it in the hoop consistently, you got a shot to win it. Do we have a couple more callbacks? Do we have a couple more callbacks? Do you want to hit these boys real quick? Give them their flowers. Fried bologna sandwich.

This one comes from Yukon, Cornelie, 73. Fried bologna sandwich. What an all time. We do the bauds like question. We do the budd like question. Every single interview, what would you do anything for? This man lets us dead in their eyes. And he said, fried bologna sandwich.

That's how you know. Luke Holmes is the man. It's a clean tape. I've had multiple texts this week being like, hey, Luke Colvin, he is genuine as he comes off? I'm like, yeah. If you look at, dude, everybody loved the interview. Love it.

A plus interview, all time interviews, one of the best interviews. This is also coming after. Who was the one before that? Patrick Willis. People were raving about that one. People were a little bit of a heater of great guests. I know that's why.

We've got to have George. Hopefully George comes through, man. Okay, whoa. I was just saying people are out there. They're seeing like, hey, you guys got momentum. You got a bill. Yeah. But I just off.

fear, take over your body. Tell them, yeah, you said he's 100, the tweets already out. He's coming at 3 o'clock today. Do you want to say why you're a little bit nervous? There's a hiccup today. There's a hiccup. We had a gas flying in. Not a hiccup, but code red.

It was a code red. It was a code red. Flight got canceled. So that interview got canceled day. We were kind of sputtering a little bit. But fortunately, George Kittles here in Nashville. Hit him with us. So George's coming through.

But we lost a guest. We won't give too much away. Tied in. note check is all we can can i say one more yeah national champion okay yeah national those those are hints if you can put it together you'll know who the guest is in the future yeah now we have to there's no way there's no way they can put that together we were way too vague guess the guest guest guest the guest there you go his or maybe her flight got canceled we're not going to say the airline but there's been some tough there's

been some tough flights lately been some tough flights my poor family had to go through one. Where out of? I think it was Florida. Well, this guy. His flight. Yeah, his flight. His flight was from Florida to here.

Miami. Oh, really? To be specific. And then he was flying to the Midwest. He was flying to the Midwest after that. Got it. Later that day, actually. So.

He's down a clown, though. He wants to come on. He wants to come on. Fun fact about this guest. Should I tell the story about when I saw him at the Super Bowl? And he's like, when I was at this place, I was. No, no, don't do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're right. You might give it away. You're right. Not going to do that. Because it'll be fun to break down when he's on the bus. Yeah. And he's a, he's a boy. So don't show him on the board.

Don't show him on the board. Don't show him on the board. Okay. Kind of back to the fried baloney sandwich. Are you fried baloney sandwich fan will? I've only had a few, if I'll be honest. And it was back in the day. I haven't had a fried baloney sandwich years, maybe, maybe at least a decade.

I think in honor of Luke Combs, I have not had this fried baloney sandwich yet, but there's a place in East Nashville called Turkey and the Wall. And they have it a phenomenal burger, but apparently their fried baloney sandwich is like top in the country. In the country? In the country. So in honor of Luke Combs, we might have to, we might have to go there. Well, if we're going to do fried baloney sandwiches, Turkey and the Wolf is great. And it's a super good hangout outside.

It used to be like a dog park. They basically made into like a food truck hang out outside. But Robert's Western World on Broadway, for the real locals, that is the best deal you can find on Broadway. It's a beer. It's a fried baloney sandwich and a bag of chips for. 799 I believe and it is like true that it's like you talk to people about fried baloney sandwiches they're going to bring up roberts western world it is real authentic national cuisine and you can't beat the price so maybe we can do a little a tour of fried baloney sandwiches with luke holmes

yeah and up i don't believe i've ever had a flyer fried baloney sandwich before in my life what you ever have baloney i've had baloney for sure oh no comes in a little case with a little plastic at the yellow. I've had that as a kid. I don't think it was ever fried, but I want, I just, I feel like we're all being vulnerable with our different styles. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I just wanted to come clean to my boys.

That's crazy. Oh, Will. Will? Don't mean me insecure, Will. Will. Come on, man. I'm just Josh. Are you? We'll do fried bologna sandwiches, ma'am. All right, this last one comes from Kyle B. Pike.

Boys, the official visits for Luke home has to be a thing. Made me laugh out loud for five minutes. Please make this happen with the receiver gloves posing, L-O-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L. So good. Dude, if we get Luke Holmes to travel with us sometime in the spring or fall

and get him a full, like a number five, some sort of wide receiver number. The back plate on, dark visor, sleeves, the whole thing, half-impose, it'd be incredible. Yeah.

If we could get all the guests that we wanted to do some of these ideas with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, we'd be headed to the moon. Because I love the idea of the official visit. He seems on board, we're on board, but we all know that the timing and everybody's schedules and... Why are you killing the fun? I'm trying not to.

Clean take. It's clean. It'll be hard. I get so excited thinking about it. And then I just bring myself back down to reality. Like, we're going to be able to make that. happens? Probably not but I mean it's a fun idea. But clean take by Taylor that like getting cool guests in our content could be kind of nice. Yeah, that's cool yes that's a great sure way to put a bow

on that clean take. That's a clean take. That was a Kevin's natural foods clean take right there. That was absolutely beautiful weekends boys how we do how was the weekend? My brother shout out the head coach of North County High School he came to visit Did he give you a little scouting report on the boys? Yeah, we were working through some stuff. I was probing. I was seeing what he's got going on. How is it?

Because this is his first job. This is his first head coaching job. Like, he is the head coach of our alma mater, high school. He's hit it. He's on it. He's the head man. Yeah. Like I was telling Charlie before he pulled up.

He showed up around 10 p.m. He got, they left after school. They drove up laying at about 10 p.m. I told Charles, I'm like, hey, we're like watching a show and she's laying on the couch. I'm like, hey, stand up. Like we have the head coach of North County. He's coming in our house. This isn't just little bro Wyatt anymore.

No, no, no. This is royal. This is an authoritative figure walking in. You say yes, coach? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just calling him, coach. We were driving to Bear Bones, but your shoutout, Bear Bones,

but you're no free shoutouts. But I'm like, I'm sitting there driving with Wyatt and knowing the answer, I'm like, no, he's never one of state title, have we? He's like, no, I was like, you're going to be the first? Like, just starting the conversations. Like, where is your men?

Yeah. Like this, you got an opportunity to bring a state title first ever to North County High School. Like, do you understand that, that pressure, that expectation, that burden? And if you don't, because everybody's so lax and okay with quarterfinals or semis a couple times throughout our history. It's like, if you're good with that, like, you ain't going to win. You ain't going to win. Yeah, I want to know the first words that coming up his mouth. Yeah, I mean, it would be awesome.

Oh. Oh, no. It was something like that. And I'm like, you have to put yourself in a state of this must happen or I fail. Like, you can't just pretend that, all right, Wyatt Compton is now the head coach of North County, and this is going to be the way of you ride for the rest of your life. If you don't win and you don't perform and you don't stack Ws,

like you can get canned at any moment. Any moment. Like I'm telling them like you got to start thinking about What do you want this team to look like in five years? And I'm also being dead serious when I'm telling this stuff I'm like how is the entire community? Because you're not just the head coach of North County High School Like you are now you have you now have to see yourself as a leader in the community like how do you want the system as far as youth And middle school and high school to be on the same page? Because this is a crop That's down in in Peewee and middle school right now that you are one day going to be coaching like you

got to start developing, you got to start thinking, developmental-wise, how do you want these kids to be? Because you can't just sit back like, oh, my players aren't good enough. Or, you know, we had good size, but we couldn't develop their speed or their hand-eye, like all of these things with their length. And you just chalk it up to, we just don't have a good enough team to compete with Festus. We don't have a good enough team to compete with Hillsborough,

Farmington, people in the county. Yeah. You know what I mean? No, I'm 100%. You do have to take it serious like that. I'm being dead-ass serious. No, hey, if people are laughing, They don't understand leadership. Yeah. Because you're absolutely right. Like,

Bontara, Missouri, are we just going to be complacent or are we going to chase greatness? Yeah. That's what we want. Yeah. So you need to go in there, start talking to the pee-wee kids. You can't, this shouldn't be a good night's rest for the next five to six years. Like, you need to grind. Make sure these boys develop and show, what was the record last year?

Do you have any idea? Let's just say it wasn't good enough. Wasn't good enough. Wasn't good enough. If we show some promise, now there's a couple middle school kids that might be in seven to If grade, the dads go, hey, you might want to play for this Wyatt character. This guy, he's a young cat coming up. You know, his brothers woke on and he played in the league for 10 years.

He might know one or two things. But you've got to take steps. Also, I need to see a lot of photos of him picking up recycling on the side of the highway. Gotta have it. Got to get good publicity for our boy, Wyatt. Got a community building. Yeah, the whole team. The whole team.

Matching uniforms. Like, you look at the college when people put on the blue collar shirts. It's like, ah, high school? I want it. I need it. I got to have it. I need these kids outside of their local grocery stores selling those cards that are supposed to give you coupon deals. But who knows what really kind of coupon deals you get?

But you're just raising money for your high school. Am I right? I love the coupon. Do you remember that? And there was always like a prize. And I need the best. I need that prize to be something that even the kids that aren't fully invested that are like the cool kids, the parents are making them do it.

I want them to be like, we got to win that fucking price. Yeah. That's what we need. What kind of motivation are we going to instilling these boys? They're not only helping for the next four years and it possibly chase greatness, but when they come back 20 years later and Wyatt Compton's got a little gray on his cheeks

and they say, you change me. You change me forever. You are molding men. You're molding men. And his name is no longer Wyatt Compton. It is coach. Coach Compton. No matter where he goes, it's, what's up, coach?

Yeah, and you finish every statement with yes or no, sir. Because my question is, why not win it this year? Right. Like, why not? Right. Why not at least think that way to where you're so psychotic about it? Like, I hope you're harder on the kids. Because you got trust, you got relationships with you're a young-minded coach.

Like, yeah, you can call plays, but dude, everybody can call plays. It ain't about calling plays. It's about building culture. Right. So we had some good combos. Yeah, you need Wyatt to go in there with the coach Carter mentality. I did. Make all the boys down a contract.

And it's like, you follow this contract. You'll be successful. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, who are you listening to? What are you reading?

You know what do you read exactly? You listen to this coach Saban. It's about coaching coaches. It's not just about coaching players, man. Where you hit the where you turn down the music and you're like, you know, he might laugh at a couple things I'm saying. And I'm like, yeah, I'm being. Were you wearing your glasses?

Because you know what, you know what Farmington is saying? He only got this job because of his brother. Oh, God. Are they saying that? And it's in this is the season that you put it to rest, that you make Bont Air for forget that there was ever a Will Compton, you remind them that it's only Wyatt Compton. Yeah. Damn!

I can't. Go be great, bro. Do we have to go to a game? Yeah. I'd love to go to a game. Fall tour, week one. Yeah. Fall tour.

Get them on the schedule. Yeah. LSU Ole Miss the next week, we're going to North County Farmington. We should. That's the competition right there. That's Farmington. God. That's the rival school.

That's the rival school for sure. And they're wearing all black. Those are the villains of this story. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I bet you there's some good kids in there. But there's probably a couple good boys in there, but I'll tell you what, man.

I need varsity jacket. I need guys bumping chess in the middle of wherever the hangout spot is between these two towns. Yeah. Yeah. And I need Wyatt Compton to somehow just be there and break it up. Hey, you want to prove something to them. You prove it on the field. Come with me.

He drives them home. gives them good talking to. Yeah. And some old, like, beat up transam type of car, you know? Why wash jeans? Yeah. Why wash jeans? Overall is a good weekend, though.

Good weekend? Good weekend. The in-laws were in town. We hit the pool on Saturday. We hit, oh, what's the flower garden farm we went to? We didn't pick flowers. It's a strong weekend. A very good.

about offering up a rose to the storm so it kind of calms down because i guess the storms are probably i would assume very bad for flowers but he's a fun follow on if i had to guess ice storms are bad for Flores. It's a great of something. He doesn't. It's not that one. Let me just go. Just go to my recent Instagram post.

It's been a bit of a bitch for us the last couple of years. Planted. Irrigation wasn't great. A lot of things died. Tree wasn't doing well. We just mowed the whole thing down. That's all dirt now. I got some mulching in a little bit. And I'm just telling you, boys three years ago i sat in this bus said three to five years i'm at the best garden in national

We just don't even just don't even He's got a Compton graveyard out there There's a book that's literally this thick It talks about the Compton family Like one of the original settlers of Nashville Tennessee Comptons, Banderbiltz I'm being so serious

The cabin on that property Him, his wife and the 11 children lived in that cabin Gotta get mineral And his last name Henry Compton First, that's his full name But his last name

his last name was Compton. So, still a clean day. That's a clean day. That's a clean day. Still a clean day. Yeah. Yeah.

We love him. Your boy, Sean, Sean, the farmer, he was talking about. Oh, Kevin.

I do. I love him. Jen yourself? Oh. That's what we call brand. Anyway, dude. Anyway,

bro. Farmer, talking about the merch. Titans came out in new uniforms. We got some Titans merch ourselves, same colors, right? BWTB.com is where people can go pick it up. Right at this very moment, you can go to BWTB.com, pick up the Titans merch.

I want one word just like our original tear talks from all the boys. I want to go around in a circle real quick and just ask, how do we feel about the Titans uniforms? Mitchie, we'll start with you. History. Hyphenated, candy ass. What? What?

Let them go. We'll pick it all down. You're right. You're right. You're right. Clean. Take. Happy.

That's good to hear. Hyphenated six string. I wanted to say clean too. Clean. Smooth. Awesome. Elite. Now, we all pretty much feel the same way.

But there was a crazy comment by Jeremy Klump. Yeah, explain the candy. ass. By the way, for those you don't know if you're tuning for the first time, this is the biggest troll in the office. Go ahead, what was your? I want to preface this by saying, I think another podcast sometimes calls Jersey's candy ass, so I don't want to be copying anyone, but. So you're copying. I might be copying. The, I think the Titans uniforms are great. They look great rebrand. The problem is those don't scream playoff football to me. Those scream, you got those in the playoffs and the cold. They're going to look cold in those uniforms. They're going to get their ass beating those ones. That's my take on the, that's, that's my take on the, that. the Titans new uniforms. Jesus, what are we talking about? I mean, just like,

it just feels like he's talking to talk. Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. That wasn't even a take. It's just like they're going to look cold in those uniforms come December. That's a 65-year-old guy.

That's an old man in a reclining chair in a carpet, a shag carpeted room with a couple beers in his hand, be like, look at them out there. They look cold. They look cold as hell out there. What the hell? What a baby,

Speaking of teams that got their ass beat, we forgot to talk about how Clumps flag team got their shit kicked in this weekend. So I don't know if we want to make sure we're going over that. What do y'all's jerseys look like? Clump is the hang on time on time out. Clump is the head coach of this flag football team.

What's the age group? What's the age range? 5 to 7. And you guys got your shit pushed in over the weekend. What was the score like 12-0? 12-0. 12-0. Just because you say it different?

Everyone does change the score. We did get shut out 12-0-0, but you know what? The kids had fun. That's what matters, man. Having fun. Shout out to what? Hey, just I'm helping him out. JJ, my son, first flag football game.

He pulled four flags on defense. Really proud of him. None of them were the actual ball carrier. He was just running after the quarterback and ripping the flag after he handed the ball off and was very proud that he did pull a flag. So shout out to Jay-J-J-J-J-man. But hold on. He did have one temper tantrum as well.

He had a 12-yard run, made someone miss. I saw a flat. I'm like, oh, shit. Jay-J-M-H. What were his stats on offense? One carry, 12 yards. One carry, 12 yards. Yeah.

Zero tackles. Zero tackles. One temper tantrum. One temper tantrum. And then the ref tried to calm him down. He got tackled on his run because they couldn't get his flag. And the ref was trying to calm down. He looked at him.

He was like, there's six minutes left. I can't wait until there's zero. I'm like, oh, damn it, JJ. The refs die. That's awesome. Head coach. It was a lot of. Zero points.

Yeah, we, we did not score. Shirm, shout out Shirm. Shirm was in attendance. We're a little undersized compared to some of the other teams. QB. Okay, so first of all, we're here, excuses. We just had a full conversation about Wyatt Compton

and how he needs to change the game. And how he needs to mold these men. Yeah. imagine if we are near Bontair, Missouri, and that's one of the teams. Wyatt's probably trying to get you fired right now. 12 zero is terrible. 12 zero. What were you going to say, Sherman?

I was just going to say, the Bengals, the 49ers, I mean, these kids are juiced to the gills, some of which were taller than me. I stand at a 5758 stature. You're not the tigers from kicking and screaming. They're a good team, but they are not built like some of these other teams. But they do have some dogs. And they have like a nice little 40 yard pass. His QB can sling it.

He's got some guys out wide that are fast tall can catch. They got some speed out wide. We're not the team we want to be yet. Yeah. Now I'm hearing that they have talent. So with talent, like who's going to develop these kids and put some points on the board? It's on the coach. It's on me.

And he is the offensive. I mean, when the offense goes out on the field, the green binder and Jeremy clump are out there as well. I mean, he's right. He is the O.C. The binder that put up the goose egg. What's in there? We might need new plays.

He got the full Philadelphia Eagles playbook. He's got run down the middle and quick slants only. And go to ball. I knew it was over when he was talking last week and talk about it. I got a quarterback who can throw the ball. And I'm like, how old are these kids? He's like five to seven. I'm like, you ain't throwing the football.

No. No. We can throw the football. They can throw the football. Can they catch the football? We can catch the football. He's got some. some dogs out wide. Can't score though.

There was an issue that I saw. I saw Sher and put up a post and if this says anything about the culture and I'm glad we can address this week one. It was a photo of you in the huddle and unfortunately, you know, everybody's locked in and you coach his son allegations, JJ is all on you, arm around you. And it's like, I think you got to nip that in the butt and you got to stick him in front of you. And the next photo needs to be you in his face. Like Will, Will Vane coming out and letting him know like this is unacceptable. It's one of the best photos ever.

Thank you, Shirm for that. It's awesome. Jay is like just hugging on me as I'm calling the play. But I did, I ripped JJ midgame. He was waving to the crowd. I'm like, JJ, lock in. Come to find out. It was actually Shirm yelling to JJ,

getting him to wave midgame. Well, JJ, JJ yelled to me to wave. My bad. Jay Jail to me. Now you're blaming the five. I did. I did. He is fine.

It's fine. I love how we got on a tangent about how cool the Titans uniforms are and we got to Clumps are terrible coach that is an adorable photo of you guys adorable I do think the Titans unies are awesome contrary to everything that Clump was kind of

talking to shoot about them I got them as a top five I yeah I would put them top three I would put them top three right now the only thing I would change about the uniforms I would have a red face mask that's the one thing I would change and people would be like well it's two oilers it's like the oilers uniforms are it to me I think those are the

number ones when we talk about the retro uniforms those are the best these have it bro these are that I wanted those socks that's a good hey I didn't even think about that whatever yeah the what not the stirrups stirrups you pull over the heel but it has like the stripes though the horizontal stripes around yeah the horizontal stripes those go hard I thought that would have been sick the titans still do have two other jerseys they have the rival jerseys that will be announced at some point for 2026 and then there's also an alternate jersey that I believe the rumors are that'll be Navy. And I think there's enough talk about red face masks that, who knows, maybe they're going to throw that in because I'd love to see a red face mask because the red is an iconic

titans color for us. And I would hate to see us completely get away from that. But I'm happy, man. And what makes me even more happy is all the sorry-ass Houston Texans fans crying, crying on Twitter, acting like that that's their culture. The Houston Texans, the Houston Orleans, excuse me, abandoned their franchise and they came to Tennessee in 1997 and 98 there in Memphis and they go, they are no longer the Oilers. That's not their history. I want all Houston Texans fans listening. Shut the fuck up.

Okay. And stop crying. Stand on it. They talk about the University of Houston. We copied their jerseys. In 2023, the Titans made the Oilers throwbacks. You know what happened after that? The Houston University School made their Oilers colors afterwards.

Jared. I'm over it. Just for the clip. I did enjoy seeing some back and forth between the Titans fans and Hughes fans. Yeah, it feels like a tired argument to me at this point. I know the Titans have been sorry as recently, but I do hope to see a good rivalry come out from Houston and National. I know people want to see that.

So I'm excited for that game. Let's get a good ball club on the field this year. Yeah, we need it, man. I mean, there's been a lot of good moves and free agency for us. I think the coaching's starting to take a turn. We'll see. We're at a good place in the year where you can be a Titans fan and it's not ruining your life.

So we'll see how we feel in October. Titans has been on a heater. You said it a couple weeks ago, right? We get Sala. We're really excited about Sala. It's a great hire. Dable, he becomes the O.C. That's exciting to assume

everyone's going bald in Nashville, Tennessee. And you were saying, right before this uniform reveal, this is the perfect time for the Titans going fuck something up. And they even took another step forward. So now everything in the off season, they have a couple of great additions.

Wondell Robinson, massive fan of him. We were talking about him a bunch. was with the Giants and Malik Neighbors goes down a little bit. Great fantasy. This kid, I was a big fan. Dan Rolofsky, he had some different words. Me personally, big fan of Wondell Robinson and that. Who was the guy we got from Denver?

He used to play for the Jets. Big defensive end. John Franklin Myers. I think he's a great pair. Now the question remains is, what do you do with number four? You go in there and get Jeremiah Love, which I know is one of our tier talks today.

Or do you get Ruben Bain Jr.? Do you know Cardinal Jones? Cardinal Tate, excuse me, Cardinal Tate, the wide receiver. A lot of great people are going to be there at four. What do you trade back? Get some more draft equity. What are your thoughts, Jack? I, up until free agency, I was kind of iffy on taking a running back at four.

Because I feel like, I mean, Jeremiah is obviously, he could be a generational guy who's going to play, you know, seven, eight, really tough years in the league and be a great player. Now that we've filled in a lot of holes in our defense, especially with the edge guys in the line, I think why not take a shot? shot at a really good running back and taken it for. And I, that's where I'm at. But all I know is that the Titans last year put together a really good draft class. So I have a lot of faith that they're going to continue to do so this year. But it'll be interesting. Draft's going to be here before we know it. That's going to be crazy. People also forget, we squash the beef with Big Jeff. I feel like that's huge. Bees's been squashed. Yeah, for like vibes going into next season. We need it. That's a fun episode. That was a great episode.

A lot of layers of Big Jeff in that episode. That was nice. Yes, dude. Hey, how much we kind of brushed over with Max and the Raiders, but I feel like the Raiders have made a lot of great progress in free agents? Oh, yeah? They sent a lot of cats last week before all the Max Crosby trade stuff fell through. And then when Max, when the Ravens back out of the trade and Max is now officially back with the Raiders,

during that next 24-hour slot, it was kind of like, well, what's going to happen? Are the Raiders kind of stuck holding the bag? Are they going to have to deal them? Is he still wanting to be traded? and then Max comes out, everybody's aligning on the same page. You now have Max back around with all those, like, they signed who, Nacobi Dean, and who's the other linebacker that they signed?

The Raiders. They got a couple offensive linemen. Yes, yes, Quay Walker, who's a stud. Now they got Max in front of them again, or not again, but now they got Max in front of them. I think the Raiders made a lot of great progress last week in free agency. I think the biggest question for them is their salary cap,

because they signed all of these guys thinking they were offloading Max's contract. Right. Now they signed all these guys and on top of it they still have Max's contract. So I'm not sure. I think the biggest question for them is that. Yeah, how that's going to work out.

It's just getting creative. Him and his department, his finance department, just restructure Max. Let's give him into a signing bonus. He's going to make $3 million this year. And now you have more room to make it all up. Because a lot of it too is Max's frustration to him, like,

wanting the trade now that they're all aligned it's like raiders kind of kind of came up yeah kubiak too i think i just think it's going to be great for their offense uh kiler murray to the vikings yeah you called that last week i think that's awesome what does that mean for j j j mccarthy or we have a quarterback battle on our hands there'll be a quarterback battle but i think it'll be kailer murray really i do i think so dude color murray's good he is and it's like you know the memes that people post with kailer murray or so money that is hilarious i hope he laughs as much as everybody else now that it's it's just like such an ongoing thing with yeah with collar murray being being small his stature it's just

hopefully they don't because legit the if i mean if they had better if the viking said better quarterback play last year they'd be a much they'd be a playoff team or that division's kind of crazy but yeah keller is a stud you think it's very no no i think it'll be a quarterback battle your how much did call like you paid i guess is my question Did he take on the Cardinals are still paying like the majority of his salary. I want to say the Vikings got him on their books for cheap. Yeah, if they get him on their books for cheap and you have a yeah, you've gotten this first contract with Kyler Murray.

That's as clean of a competition you could possibly ask for with a veteran. I think maybe I think the move would be if everything's kind of like 50-50, you go JJ to start the season knowing that like Tyler can come in halfway through. If it doesn't, if it keeps not going that way. Because the minute you bench JJ, he's now. been put into the the sam donald the daniel jones the putting up a bus parentheses around him and he's got to go somewhere else and prove it the way those other two guys did but if you go jj first similar to 2019 marcus margaret o're ranne tannohel you had the guy who's kind of been there for a little bit can't

let him have the reins prove that he can't do it and if that comes in bringing kiler he'll have juice he'll have the locker room everyone knows he can play that to me is the safest move for the vikings now o'connell if he if things don't go the way they want to go this year, things could get loud. And I don't think it's the correct move, but you know how fan bases are, you know, front offices get, when coaches don't do well for a couple years, that's when things like Mike Rable getting fired of the Titans happen, McCarthy happens, almost Matt LaFleur happens this year. So he'll need to make a decision quickly within that first month of the season. Yeah, I just, we've seen it to where the position that's going to happen is it's going to be a

quarterback battle. But if they feel like they got not even lightning in a bottle, because Kyle Murray is damn good. Damn good. And the moment he's showing that, like, Kyleor Murray's going to, like, he's still relatively young. Mm-hmm. And you've had guys where you've had Kirk,

you've had Daniel Jones, like you've had guys come through the building to where now they, you know, they went on with other teams. Obviously, Kirk was there for a few years. But you got a shot to have Kyler for several years. Like,

the moment Kyler and they're sitting and he's, he's learning the Kevin O'Connell system and everything else, and he's out there sligin. As far as talent goes, like it's not even close. Yeah. As far as Kyle Murray and JJ Murray and J.G. I'm not saying JJ McCarthy's not good.

he's not good. I'm just saying Carla Murray is a stud. Like, where did he, he was high in the draft. He was high in the first round, wasn't he?

Yeah, number one overall. Yeah, I think it's as high as you can get. Yeah, that's how he's as high as you get. Yeah. That's like, that's a glass and stuff.

That was in depth. As long as he's, yeah, on the micro, as long as he's been in the league, you can start to forget, but Kyler Murray is a fucking baller. Yeah.

No, he's, I think him, him going to the Kevin O'Connell school, like it's, Vikings will be, tough. Longest Call of Duty, chills,

we're good. Yeah. Clean take. Clean take. I see it as a battle for the public, but it's going to be Kyle Murray. I mean, that's definitely, that's a clean take.

That's clean take. The only issue is like, essentially by doing that, you're now giving up on JJ McCarthy, who started how many games last year? Six, eight. Something small because he had a couple of injuries take place.

He had a couple games that were like, what the fuck are we doing out here? And then if you're like, okay, yeah, I could see why he was, you know, top 15 pick or whatever. So it's kind of big. it's been very hot, sorry, very cold and hot at times. It's like a minute you do that, it's like, okay, now, let's say,

Kyler Murray gets hurt in October. Now you have a team that is behind a quarterback that essentially lost the front office and probably the locker room as well. So it's more of an insurance policy. If everything's the same, like you have both these guys and you're like, we don't know the decision we make. I think it falls to JJ first. Yeah, I just, we know how this works.

It's a win now league. No doubt. I'm with you on that. And if Kyler's the better player, they're going to play. Kyle. Yeah. Now you have Kyler Murray,

Jared Gough, Caleb Williams, Jordan Love. Jordan Love. But three of the four guys were first drove all picks at one point. That's just nuts.

That division is NFC North. That's number one, right? It's got to be the number one division. You got NFC West. True. Yeah, the Super Winters. What's going to happen

with the Niners this year, man? But I agree with that. I agree with that. Like, Niners, Seattle, Rams, Cardinals, nothing.

Cardsons. But then you got the Lions who, seems like some weird stuff's going on there, but the last few years they've been dominant. Packers, same thing. Caleb Williams, if he keeps trading the way he's going, that's a scary-ass team right there. And now the Vikings, if Kyle Murray is as good as Wilcompton's words

and his glasses are saying, like, those are four teams right there that are contender-type teams and have well-built teams all around them. Yeah. So, you can find division. to be the number one division going to this year. Niners, too.

Speaking of, they got Drey Greenlaw back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Paring them back with Fred Warner. Big signing. Got to have that.

Splash. Would have loved to see Fred Warner playing the playoffs this year. Would have love to see it, dude. And there was stuff going around too. We can ask George about it, but I want to say he was doing an interview

before Free Agency and everything open up. He's like, who knows, we might get new friends, or we might get old friends back. Oh. In free agency. Really. So maybe he kind of knew that Dre was could become home. in the weeds with the boys, huh?

Him and Lynch. Out there figuring all the answers. Lynch. Lynch. Dude, but yes, March Madness, BWTB.com. What are we missing, dude? I see, I see, Shroom, you got highlighted. We rip packs this weekend.

We rip some packs. How'd the Pokemon hunt? Did the, not great hunt, not a great hunt. Went out there, Antioch, Tennessee. Nice group of people out there. A lot of bust with the boys fans, a lot of Titans fans out there. That was awesome.

But not, I was looking for, of a quasi-poncho Pikachu. That's what I was looking for. PSA 10. I'm looking for that. Then I have the full entire poncho set and then I can kind of sit and just chill for the next five, six years. I see you got a laparice.

You got that laparice. You see all the things that unfolded with the lepris? Rip that boy out of a fossil pack, base set. I go to look it up and I pull the photo of the laparice base set because if it was the first edition, in the bottom left-hand corner of the picture, it would have a one.

which means it's first edition those are holy grail type cards this one doesn't look it up it says if it's a PSA 10 there's a $20,000 card I'm getting juiced up I put it on the bird people are like should we tell them should we tell them everyone keeps saying that I'm like holy shit what happened I look it up

base set first edition 10 is $4,000 still a great pull but that's not a 10 card that's not a 10 card what is it PSA 5 no it's probably like it's probably a 9 or an 8 I mean it's still nice but the the difference between like sometimes like a five a five thousand like a PSA 10 five thousand dollar card like once it

goes to nine it could be like a one thousand dollar card it's it's a dramatic chip well give him your glasses so when he explains yeah because i got a question for you too yeah go ahead when you're breaking down like like booster packs are great um jungle packs are awesome but if you're looking for OG 151 the things that you want are the first edition on the side because you get like even non hollow squirtles. Yeah. Those will be like $58, $60. Like, those are holding value because they haven't been printed for so long.

They're from the 1900s. They're the first edition. So those types of things is what you want. These glasses are killing my eyes. Jesus. What is your question? So I can put it back on. My question.

So you got the card where the grade eight or nine or whatever. Yeah. And it's $4,000 card. If you put that card and paired it with the energy cards for the laparice, does that bump the value higher? Like if you come in there and you're like, I don't only got a laparist, I got the three energy cards you need

to hit him with the attacks. We're talking about, he's talking about playables as opposed to collectibles. Now, I am not. I shit you not. I won a badge at a flea market when I was young. I battled back in the day. Yeah, you're the man.

I, when I started to get to, you're a legend, bro. When. That reaction. Yeah. The Boulder badge. On the macro, if you're looking at making an investment, the, you know, the elements or the little energies, those don't mean anything. Those are kind of just like, you see a kid, hey, you want a little energy?

Oh, I really like the water. Okay, give them that one. The card itself, this, the pristine level, how old it is, how sought after it is, how many have been PSA 10, how many been graded, how many are left? Those are all the things that go into the whole supply and demand chain. That card right there. that's a requaza poncho Pikachu that's where we're hunting here put your glasses back on I was like squint you're doing you're doing the low on squint for a second you get that card a PSA 10 that card is probably I don't know the exact because they're all different but

they're probably a $10,000 card I have that's a big boy like $25,000 card that car that's a big boy so that pack came from those were only printed in Japan and you had to enter a raffle to get those cards so there's only so many that are printed there's going to be a lot of Pokemon people that are like, you're an idiot. This is actually that went. But these cards right here, there's only so many in the world. And out of those so many, there's only probably 2,000 total, like 2,200 total that are PSA 10. So that value of that card is very hard to get. It was printed in 2016, so it's 10 years old now. That's getting it now. It's going from a modern set to more of a vintage set. The more things get older, the more they're sought after or less.

They're printed, all those things, the basics. So there is a Pancho Pikachu set. And that's like two different Charzards, a Magiarcharp, a Garados, Gerdos, Gerdos rips. And then there's a newer one that I, an Umbrian, I think. Then there's this one. That is the whole entire set. It might be six or seven different Pancho Piccichus. I have all of them except for that one.

If I can just get that one more and that, someone was selling that step for $600,000 the other day. Did you say Charzard? Yeah. So that whole set of Pikachu's. That's the Charzard. That's the... I can't even pronounce it.

What's that one? Ambrian. Ambrian. And then these ones are different. I have these two as well. These are like $40,000 apiece. Those two right there. But I have these, and then there's the magic crop right there.

And then there's one Garidos. Oh, sorry, that's the Garados. And this is just Pikachu wearing different fits. Like, different fits. Yeah, but people are obsessed with them. So you get that. You hold on to them. Vintage will hold better.

So you get those and you just sit on them. And that's when you see like 2000, I saw a clip the other day. I was like, 2016, you can get like a first edition Charzard for like less than $100,000. First edition. I think one just sold. It might have been a Beckett gold, so it's a little bit different. But it was $526,000. That's how this market goes.

Jesus. And there's pops every couple of years. But the Pikachu's like, what kind of damage are they doing? These are collectibles. These are collectibles. Does any of that matter? You're not winning a badge with these boys. These are your show ponies.

These are not your gladiators. Chazar, he gets after it. He gets after it. You do the fire spin that's 100 damage. What is it? That's a first edition Charzorzer for sale for a million dollars right now. But is it going to sell for a million dollars? Probably, maybe, eventually.

Eventually, yeah. But it's cool, dude. I got that collector app right now. No free shout out of the collector. I get to see how your shit goes. It's like a stock. It's fun. And then you go rip packs, dude.

Yeah. At any point, are you going to battle? No. No. Okay, I'll just look. Maybe, maybe. I'll never say never, Justin Bieber coined that phrase. I will, maybe.

I will maybe battle. I don't know how. I'd be such a flight. I'm so, do you have so new this? I've been doing this for two weeks. And it has happened. You know you have a collector set, but then you got a battle set. Yeah.

Yeah. Because what is a Pikachu? Do you know what these Pikachu's are doing battle-wise? No. I don't think anyone's talking battle at the... No, we're talking battle. I got you. All right.

Those are like mascots. Battles gay. I got, yeah. It'd be such a flex to rip open like a $100,000 card and just battle someone at this place. It would be so sick.

Toss it on the ground. Don't even care about like it's... Been the corners. Yeah. Whatever, dude. Like it's Baccarat. Yeah. Whatever.

I'm thinking, too, like, why is this one worth more than what I have when my cards can whip yours? You know what I'm saying? That logic, by that logic, yeah. Your cards would be more valuable. You'd be great to negotiate.

Yeah. Well, hold on. This guy, this guy's attacks 10. He's not very strong. Shit, we didn't think about that. There's only 10 of these printed.

Yeah, they're 10 weak-ass little Pokemon. Yeah, I should beat yours. Yeah. Yeah, I see why they stop printing them. Yeah. But, dude,

it is a fun little game. I got into some of the sports card stuff this weekend, too. It's awesome. The thing about the sports card is I know, like, tops and there's a couple others that are like, here your basics. But I walked in, there were like cases,

$1,000 for one card. and it's from like 2018 rookie season and it's a signed card and you could just get totally fucked or hit like a Mahomes or something like that it's nuts

foul works for a trading card company and like wants to do something with you guys it's called shout out wild card sports cards they have like they are it's like tops and pinini and then it's like wild card got you got you

yeah I'm I'm seriously interested in ripping packs it's so much fun we did it I did for what two hours the other day live Instagram. We had a good group of boys in there. Had over 205,000 watching. It was fun. Gave away three cards. It's a good time. What are these? What am I standing out here? You give away some potions. We'll do Compton packs. A couple of trainers. Yeah. Yeah. That is, but yeah, it was fun. I'm excited for George to get on because I know he's like,

you can tell George is into the more of the modern. He's like he's been following the modern stuff. so I'm sure he's way deep in the weeds compared to me. I'm like still vintage. So is Georgia collector? I'm sure he is. He's got 50 Pokemon tattoos all over him. He loves Yu-Gi-O-2. And then what's that Yu-Gi-O card that's like the blue...

Blue-Eyes white dragon? The blue-eyes white dragon, dude. That card is going nuts right now too. Could you imagine, dude, just going back in time and looking at your 8-year-old's up and be like, buddy, keep all of these. When I was home for Christmas, I was like, Mom, where are my cards?

because like I I I was telling me they were blown up you saying that they're blowing up couldn't find them God it's it's a fun hunt dude they have like there's like a collector con I think in like June here or something like that it's like the one of the biggest ones in the entire country there's one in Vegas like we should what's up firm the one in may at the fairgrounds yeah we should go that would be sick dude it'd be fun to make a little little team vlog out of that just rip packs yes rip packs and hunt the strongest Pokemon for will get all the potions We'll bring her on table and whoever wants to battle. Yeah.

Do you know how to battle? I'd have to get familiar. If we could get a battle Will Compton table? That would be elite, yeah? Yeah, I'd be done to battle. All right. So we got to play the Preds in a hockey game. We got to build this.

We got a lot. Luke Combs is got a lot. You're the audience. Yeah, you're the audience. You're the audience. Not a bad problem to have that. Not a bad. Hey, this is March.

This is March. This is March. We're here. Who do you guys have winning the whole thing? Who do you got? I don't know, Duke. Not Nebraska. Yeah, I'm going to be pulling for Nebraska.

Absolutely. He just wants the one win. He just wants Troy to go down. No, no, no, no. Because we can beat Vandy. Like, Florida's going to be tough, but they are beatable. But I'm saying who I actually think is probably going to win. I'm thinking just like, yeah, those one seats.

You got like Florida, it was Arizona, Michigan, Duke. Nice. Just rattled. That was off the top. That was nothing to you, huh? Yeah. Expert in hell. Boys in war mode right now.

It might be on the only four important teams because last year all one seed's made the final four. And there was really only one upset and that was McNee's beating Clemson. Which we called, by the way, as a team. Yeah, we did. Everybody. We were like, oh, the jackpot. We needed everybody. Yeah.

Michigan, they're plus 320 in the Fandul futures to win it all. See, yeah. So you guys have an. We have a great, yeah, we have a great shot. Who's got the best shot to win? Is it Duke? I didn't look at that. I went to the Midwest Bracket, saw it.

We were won. I was like, what's the future on this? And it said plus three, zero. I was like, that's pretty fucking, that's good. I'll take that. So I put a house on that one. Need Michigan to win it all this year. I can't wait to just drop so many little bags on first to 10.

Bing, beep, beep, bink. Little binks. Two and a half, yeah. What was that? Yeah, responsibly always. What's the two and a two and a half? and a half bit again over two and a half points in the first two minutes of play is it first one minute is the first minute yeah it's the first minute over two and a half points you just praying for a

splash three that's the rush man that is so much fun it starts what this week Thursday Thursday boys gonna watch it together watch the first couple games we know basketball we know ball there's the one thing sometimes you want to ask questions to give people more confidence and answer them to you yeah let them allow them to teach us right right what's uh tsu possible up The odds to win the natty. Duke is number one at plus 370. Arizona 2 plus 330. Wait. What?

So plus 330 is the best. Yeah, Arizona. Michigan's 370 now. Arizona's the favorite plus 330. Then you got Michigan and Duke plus 370. Florida plus 8-hunter. That's a big drop off. So we got the three juggernauts right there.

A lot of Arizona, Duke, and Michigan. Put them in your final four brackets. A lot of the. People were telling me about the, it was you telling me about the Boozer twins last week, right? Clump? Or Ryan Nolan was, yeah. Yeah.

Carlos Boozer's son, well, both of them, the twins, but the one is, like, unbelievable top five pick. There's like a sports center featured on him. Like, the only, like, I don't know if it's the only reason, but they have an older brother, Carmani, I think his name is. He had sickle cell, and they had, like, the reason they had these two twins, Cameron and Caden,

I think Cameron and Caden They had the The reason like the boozers had the twins Was to like save Carmani's life And then like to sit like They did stem cells and everything And Carmony like Was cured from sickle cell within

Really? Yeah Damn Peyton Their whole family was like a cool story Yeah I was rolling on the 320 I got Michigan last night Plus 390

To win To win the Natty Or to win the Natty Or to you win your region Win the Natty And then I got them also Minus 120 to make the final four A lot of those stat guys

A lot of those mystics On social media They're saying West Coast is due That's all I'm hearing I am not some kind of expert on this But a lot of people are saying West Coast is due It's been almost 30 years

A lot of people riding Zona Good Good More for us Yeah More for me and you A lot of people breaking down that all the national championship winners,

like their top 25 in offense, top 25 in defense. So just a little tip. I hope so. It's a little hack when you're thinking about your head. They are saying that. Top 10 in net. Yeah.

Yeah. Size, shooters, boards and buckets. Yeah. Passing. Passing. Turnovers. Fundamentals. Got to have it. Do you guys want to get some tear talk

before we get into the episode with George Kittle? Let's do some tear talk. This one's coming from Devin Grover, hashtag tier talk. What are the best? to audible play calls that you've heard for instance Omaha or Rick Flair will you part of me's having a flashback go ahead was it with Clay we were talking about Folsom in prison those would be my story like to answer to answer our boy Devin Grover

uh Folsom in prison were jail break screens yeah I would have locked in studied in Folsom I would have the number two on the perimeter on that one yeah we were zeroed in on on pressure, mugged up in the agats, Jake Cutler, checks Folsom, Folsom, Folsom. I just start yelling, screen, screen, screen. We keep them out of field goal range.

Or we keep them deep in field, from field, from field goal range, they miss the field goal. We win the game. We had to have a play. That's nice. Salt and pepper. Who was calling prison?

Which team is that? Because that seems, that coach, hopefully was fired the next day. It was, yeah, it was the Bears. Oh, so. So when you're reviewing the TV copies, you're trying to get beads on,

you know, what code words they use. like Eli Manning with the Giants. A lot of it would be like mascot base where he says the city or he says the mascot. And based off that, you'd identify what concept of run that they were going to do based on the formation that they were in. Because he did a lot of check with me at the line of scrimmage. And so when we're doing a TV copy with the bears, you're getting in all their situations where they're using their verbiage. In one game, he was saying prison prison, jail break screen to the right with the R in there. It just seems so easy as what I'm saying.

Sometimes when you're game playing a week to week, it is a little, it is simple because they have to keep it simple for 11 guys that are on the field. Yeah. So, yeah, and then what we would do as an offensive, we would call plays is we had the same thing. Folsom in prison. Those would be the same thing. Prison, we would take a set and then you'd go, I'd have number two. The next guy would have number three and so on and so forth. And the receiver would kind of bubble in, catch the ball.

They'd have a convoy of people. But we would say that, TV copy. and then we would go review the TV copy or the coaches would. They'd come to us and be like, hey, we have to change Folsom, we have to change Fulsom, we have to change prison, we have to change these other ones,

changed into these little things. So you would learn the base calls that would happen, and then after like week one, sometimes if you did a lot of like no huddle type stuff, they would then change those calls. So this Folsom is now Alcatraz and this is now that,

so you would be able to like stay ahead of the TV copy. Because the good coaches, the good players, they would go review it. So they would know where it was all going. And then defensively, when they're a team that changes. On the micro. Your staff,

yeah, your staff is trying to give you, um, like a bucket of, like a bucket of words that they use and it'd be like, it'll be something similar or related to a sword. Right. And they might just change an iteration,

like say like a different sword name. It's so funny. A brand of a sword. It was like, on our height. Yeah. Sabre. Sabre.

You say shabor. It might be sword one week and then saber the next week. Right. And it'd be the, like, It's like the mannings, like the sicko quarterback, high level, next level thinkers. It's not the coach is trying to change it every week. It's a quarterback who's going in there being like, we have to do this if we are going

to fool this defense. Right. Yes. What were you going to say, JP? I was just funny when you like hear that that's what's going on in the NFL and our high school football team. Our jail break screen was Capone, Capone, Capone, Capone. And I just remember sitting there thinking like, this has got.

to be the most obvious thing in the right for the defense. Hey, Capone was one of ours too. It would be the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. But it's also like, yeah, are you going to really be able to differentiate? You're going to execute it the whole thing.

It's different. Yeah, my favorite, one of my favorite audibles we have, we would have a play called Stutter. It's open side power. So there'd be no tight end. So everyone's kind of gaping down. Garb would come around. And our call for that would be Boucher for Bobby Boucher

because he had a stutter. So that was like my one of my favorite Yeah Because it was like layers to that one I like that's really all I got Always a kids game Man Well did you

I feel like it would be more for you Rather than offensive line Like did you guys have any like hand signals That would mean anything Because I feel like For me when I played Like our offensive hand signals Some of them were like

Kind of funny And sort of fucked up Yeah we Everything is like hand signals And communication through Do you have any like favorite ones Yeah I guess if there was a blitz And they'd go like say

It was something that it was like a blitz for that week that I was involved in. They'd call it like Husker. Like they would use stuff for guys where a package was around. Whether it be like Trojan, any mascot that you came from, they tried and come up with something in that, in that vicinity. So it like triggered your brain that,

hey, this is a new blitz that we're putting in this week. But even with like right and left calls defensively, you wouldn't want to just say, you know, close left, angle right. Like you would want to, we would use West Coast and East Coast. We'd use cities to talk about, where our pressure's coming from or how you're going to set it because even on the offensive side if they're waiting to hear us set something up if we go more than just a close left

you know that you're probably facing like a base call like a base coverage call but if it's closed left tag with something else then if the quarterback's here in it they're assuming that there could be pressure coming in this instance in that instance like universal stuff like cat will be an outside blitz like any sort of like animal will be like an outside blitz able baker that's a gap linebacker blitz, B-Gap linebacker blitz. I mean, everything's kind of universal. You're in the offensive line, like A, B, and C is back side of zone, single-double-triple is front-side of zone, and they would start to understand that.

So you do, and then, you know, then you get into cadences. Yeah. It's a whole, like, that's like you got to learn, you have to learn your base stuff, and then a whole new game unlocks of, like, how do we trick each other on the line of like, if quarterback's going out there and he says, you know, black, black, you know it's to do what? Oh, so what were going to say? I'm just saying in some instances, it'd be like, okay, you know they're going to dummy call first.

So don't show pressure if you hear black. Yeah. What would we say for dummy? I can't remember. And then you're like, hey, we've been showing this pressure for the last three weeks. They're going to expect us if we're, you know, signaling whatever. If we want to show this pressure and then come from the other side or show this pressure but then play coverage. Mm-hmm.

We would do like Dick and Balls. Dick was on one, balls is on two Well, we'd say Kobe for jumping somebody We would say a bunch of stuff like that But then we would flip them the next game to where we go Dick is now on two But Jeter was now going to be on two Because he wore number two

Like so now you're saying things that would mean something differently Hey, this is so clearly obvious on two But now it's on our on one And then we'd have a code word to say like this is fake And then we would say that it's just It's a lot It's mental warfare for those 15, 20 seconds are in the line of scrimmage. Yeah. And you're thinking you might have packages. Say we have

30 different variations of defense going into like on the call sheet. Like you're taking in all that information and then also doing all these adjustments on the fly. So like in theory, if we simply talk about prison and Folsom, like yeah, that would be very telling and that seems simple and easy. But when you factor it into everything that goes on throughout a game and you're doing it all in a split second, some guys just line up and play. They want to know the call. They want to know where to go. But when you have all of the overcommunication going on, you got guys watching TV copies. Like that's where it becomes such like a chess match game that goes on when it's like the game within the game within the game. Like Pokemon battling. Boom. Love it.

Could also challenge, I know some players out there, a lot of college players out there listen to the show. Maybe they want to work busing into their vernacular for some of their calls. they don't have to They don't have to But they'll get shouted out If we hear it They'll get shouted out They'll get shouted out

We'll get shouted out We're just We got another two From from Polly V Big Tier 1 of the show My brothers The boys This question is for all the boys

Which career choice Would you choose If you win another route in life And why A police officer In parentheses Love You Bloss Firefighter

Underpaid Athletes Car Salesman Etceter Tier 1 Love You you boys. Love you, Polly. Mine is coaching.

Like, I'd be a sicko in coaching. Yeah, you would. Yeah, I'd love coaching. I bet you're sitting there with White. You thought yourself, maybe I'll just drive to Bonteur tonight. A couple of times. I'm sitting there, I'm like, man.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was your competition. Yeah. What about fully separate from football? Oh, man. Dude, mine would be pilot.

I would want to be a pilot. I'd be awesome. Yeah, well, yeah. Growing up, I always put like engineer, but it wasn't nothing that was like passionate of mine. Like you have like doctor, lawyer, your engineer like all the ones that pay well. In high school, if I wasn't eligible for football, I was just going to go work construction. So I'll just go, I'm doing manual labor for the rest of my life. You just wanted to?

I was like, I'm not going to be able to get into college. I'm not going to go to the Juko route. I was like, this is either I'm going to college or I'm just going to work construction. So when you thought about academics and everything, you're like, football has to work out or I blew it. I didn't think about academics until I was good at football. I was like, oh my God. Like, I need to make it to college. Dude, I failed seven classes my freshman year.

So you're like, thank God football game. Yeah. Four, I failed three my first semester, four of my second semester. Seven. Buddy. Sounds like that's all the periods, man. Yeah, I mean, you guys know the story. I was doing a full online, a whole semester online in my senior year.

And then in my, I don't know if it was this way for you guys, but your senior year, you're like, get done it like, noon and then you go and do whatever. Now, my ass was there with the freshman and sophomore. Still 245. Come on. Hit that workout and I'd be doing online classes. Shout out Jackie Scully doing a lot of those online classes for me.

Come on. Yeah, come on. Shout out Ziggy. Also, yeah. In the film, the Vietnam War film, We Were Soldiers, there's a pilot that's very tall. And there his call sign was too tall. That could be your call. Could have been me.

Could have been me. What would you guys? He said this for all the boys. What would you guys do in another passion? I would probably want to be a vet. Just work with animals. I think like it. Yeah.

Bro. Now you're getting my brain going. I wanted to do something with like orca whales. Dolphins. Marine biology. Yeah. We'll want to look at sea world. Yeah.

Not a whole lot of money. Marine biology. It's a win. Yeah, bro. Marine biology. I love jobs that's like mowing. Like some kind of like just where you can completely shut off your brain and just throw on some music, throw on a podcast and just go. I think being a maintenance guy at like a golf course or some kind of resort would be legit.

Just live in a beautiful spot. You got no worry in the world. Just doing your thing. God, that kind of went hard. Zookeeper. I don't know how you go to school to do that, but I would be a zookeeper now. I mean, I love my job, but God, we lose Jared to the zookeeper.

Be so sick, dude. Yeah, some with animals would be fun. Matt Malone worked at the Nashville Zoo, and he, like, talks about it was a bad job. Like, dude, that sounds like the most fun thing on earth. Yeah, probably so. But you, clump? Uh, not a football coach.

Damn. Lawyer. Hey, okay. Okay. How are you going? You can see that. Yeah. You just be rage baiting me.

See how emotionally he is? Yeah. You've seen suits? No. You watch suits. You'll be all in on being a lawyer. Yeah. I would be,

I mean, I would want to do something outside, but not like landscaping or anything. Just career-long lifeguard. Landscaping's tough. Career-long beach lifeguard. um dude

yeah i mean i would love to be a teacher i think being a teacher would be fun so yeah i'll go with teacher jp would rip that being a teacher he'd be a teacher he'd be a good teacher dude those videos give me every time uh if we're just like

no money involved whatsoever definitely something outdoors maybe like um a kayaking guide or like a white water rafting guide The white water rafting guy would be saying That is awesome I feel like if you've ever been whitewater rafting You met like You know like a 20 to 25 year old guy

We're like this dude's got it figured out Like he's just out on the river every day chilling Just seems like he's got good stories So that or like maybe in the realm of like a TWRA agent Like which is just like wildlife resource recovery type stuff So I don't know somewhere where I'm outside by the water Be you know that wouldn't be bad Jack as a fly fishing guide would be

vibes. Yeah, it would. That'd be a great life. God, it would be kind of nice. Pilot kind of sucks now. Pilot's a good one. Dude, there was, when my kids were going skiing up in Big White, the guys were from Australia,

and they just did that in the wintertime. And they were like ski instructors. And there was like a little town where they were just booze that night, come out, teach your kids to ski, and then you'll fly back to Australia and do whatever else they did. I was like, this job looks sick.

I met a guy this week. weekend that he lives here and nationally does a bunch of like just kind of odd jobs and then every summer he's from alaska he goes back and does commercial salmon fishing just for the summer in alaska perfect i know that he like does the plane tours in alaska buddy and that's awesome so fun those Aussies chase the snow because of the hemispheres they can do our winter and then they go right back down to australia do their winter so they're in constant winter they just they hang on the slopes their entire life

I'm in me sick dude uh dr boozel he says are the boys sitting in cool spots for the spring tours slash spring college football practice hashtag tier talk

oh we got something spicy coming up we got stuff in the works we got something nice coming up we got stuff in the works last spring I think we unlocked exactly what we want to do in our spring and we have gone out to schools seems like we have tentative ones already locked

in clump tentative locked tentative locked tentative locked look at just just tentative but if you if you're watching this right now and you want to give a suggestion of where we should go leave it in the comments and if you want to check out what Taylor's referring to as far as we kind of unlocked what we want to do go check out the Oregon spring football vlog that was one of the most fun days I've had on Bustin with the boys are we gonna get a second showing of Wilcompton versus a college athlete. I have to.

Have to. Yeah, I got to get right. Holy padded. Yeah, I got to get right. C.S. Squahana? No. I don't want to give anything away. Don't give anything away.

But yeah, Will Compton, we'll be in pads again this. It's going to be fun. Season, this spring season. This is Will's football season. It's coming up right now. Time to get right. Saw you were in the gym too. I've hit you with the personal DM.

I'm like, let's fucking go. Yeah. It juiced me up to see you getting after again. Getting the zone two back in my life. Zone two. I got some stuff. I got to meet with the doc, talk to the doc again this week, and so my blood work came back.

Nothing, nothing emergency, not an emergency. But. I want to talk to you about cholesterol and your vitamin levels. It's all right. Chlestral's been high for a bit now. Okay. Let's just get right. Yeah.

Let's just get right. And while we're getting right, we're listening to Just Smash at X, Y, Z. 8-00-0-0. Should the Titans take love at 4 instead of an edge? Hashtag Tier Talk. A lot of fans hate on the idea, but the Titans team has always been better with a clear number one running back,

George Johnson, Henry. Kind of touched on this a little bit, Jack. You don't hate the idea of getting love anymore. No, I think it's great because we've started to fill those holes on defense with free agency guys. And again, with Eddie George, Derek Henry, Chris Johnson, I mean,

the Tennessee Titans have had legendary running backs and they typically carry us through some drought years. So I think it's time for us to get another one of those guys back in the clubhouse. I love that. I love that love, I'm of the stance that if you've fixed some holes that you believe you feel good about defense, get Cam Ward as many weapons as you possibly can. You saw Jeremiah Love early in the season and the middle of season two. He was playing out wide a little bit also.

Catching threat, clearly a running threat. So I like it. I think anything to help Cam Ward out to stay because I hate the question. Marks revolving around this kid. He's clearly got the mentality. He's got the talent. Now let's just get that production in the field. So we can start looking at the Titans as, hey, maybe a team here that can go get, go chase

one in a couple of years. A little dangerous. A little dangerous. A little dangerous. Why not win the whole thing this year? Why not? Go get state. Go get the Super Bowl.

Ask Wyatt. He knows. Why not us? I mean, it'd be cool, right? Yeah. According to Coach Compton, I mean, yeah, it'd be cool to win a state championship. Yeah, right? Yeah.

Yeah. We're going to get right into the interview with George Kittle right now. Okay. It's coming at 3 o'clock today. BWTB.com for merchandise. Big Cuck, signing kisses, enjoy George Kittle.

The guest today is Taylor LeWan. Yay! Welcome, Taylor. Thank you, man. Thank you. Glad to be here. Yeah,

so we say this. This is every week. Your name comes up every week on our podcast. So what's up, man? We did spend 45 minutes just sitting and talking about Pokemon. Yeah.

You said you're going to, you're going on a golf outing with your boys? I'm going on a golf out of your boys. I'm going on a golf. golf outing. What was it, Sukon? Uh, what, they do have room 40 there.

Do they really? Yeah. Will, you've been to room 40. What are we doing? So what happens? The town we're setting. You know that Philip works at, uh, room 40 at suck on? Did you know that?

I did not know that. Oh, wow. Yeah. That's crazy. We were talking about a lot of Pokemon, though. I know. And I asked you because I've been big into ripping packs. Love, I don't necessarily love ripping packs because you never really get what you

really want but but i've been buying a shitload of slabs yeah a shitload of psa 10 slabs and i'm nervous that it's just gonna the bottom's just gonna fall from all of us and i'll just have these slabs i spent ridiculous amounts of money on yeah and be like okay what do i do with these now but you're not as into it as i'm not into ripping packs i will say i did get to rip a pack of cards on me and clara's podcast and like 10 minutes before we ripped the pack me and juice had to tell what like we thought I thought Pokemon represented our wives the best. And he picked like a Dragon Air for Kristen. And I said my wife was Gangar, right?

Yeah. And then 10 minutes later, I ripped a pack and I had like a first edition Gangar holographic. Dude. What are the odds of that, though? Look up a PSA 10, gangar holographic. I don't know if it's PSA 10, but I have it. But yeah, yeah.

But when you rip a car, it's like, let's just hope for the best, right? Because I bet you it's like 50. It's one on the right. So it's like 70 bucks. No, no, no, no. That's random graded. That's wrong. Yeah, that's wrong.

Yeah, that's wrong. Gangard too, like nine great attacks. Slow poke. Don't. Yeah, dude. I would say siduck. Dude, yeah. I fuck with side dog, bro.

You should. He's confused sometimes, a lot of head trauma. Always has a headache. But he does have special abilities. Powerful. Side note, side note, Gold Duck is one of my favorite Pokemon of the OG 150. Oh, really?

I think Gold Duck is so badass. Yeah. Because he had psychic abilities and water abilities. Yeah. in the day like you can't beat a cadabra no you can't you're not being cadabra ala kazam see here's the issue with al-qazam is you are the lunch table and you're like the only way to get a gangar or an al-qazam is you you had to trade so i would have my my uh cadabra and i would go to like you'd be like hey would you trade me a quick in the cords this long connect game boys i would trade you and then you would

just have to go to the bathroom and my al-cazam is now gone yeah so it's kind of i used to you have to leverage it you did the same thing with you to get them a champ too which I always thought was really annoying yeah that's pretty lame look why are the coolest ones the most difficult to get playing the game because really like the 151 the psychic Pokemon were so sick they were the best they were so sick back when times are simple back when times were simple actually I'm replaying um fire red and leaf green just came out on the switch and I am ripping out right now and I'm doing it the old fashion way where I only train my charzarred so my charzard's a level 40 and I have even beat the third gym yet oh no shit you're just running through people yeah it's

It's so easy. On the switch with them coming out with that, with those games, can you swim at the bottom of the island and get up the rear candy? Is that still available? So I think they, I think that's only, great question, Will. I believe that's only in the original. But, I mean, I haven't played Fire Red in 10 plus years. I replay Soul Silver and Heart Gold every, you know, probably once every other year.

I play, that's what I do on road trips. Like, I'll sit in my, I also have an emulator on my phone. I just sit there. I play all the ROM hacks. They're so difficult, but I love them. Oh, the Lappris. Oh, that's what Taylor pulled over the weekend. Yeah, I pulled that over the weekend, but it was a, it was a base set pack.

It wasn't a first edition. Because I thought a PSA 10, that's $20,000, $195. Holy cow. And I looked up and it was like PSA 10 base is actually, was it. Oh, we got breaking news where a candy hack has been patched. Oh, I did. There was. I found out, I did find out a hack though on Fire Red.

I found this on TikTok. So awesome. Before you beat Misty and Cerulian, there's this thing called the Nugget Bridge. and you have to beat five trainers at the very end, there's a Team Rocket guy. And basically you beat the five trainers and then you get rid of all of your good Pokemon

and you get your worst Pokemon out and you go, because the last guy, the Team Rocket guy, he gives you a nugget, which is worth $5,000. And you just lose them and you go back to the Pokemon's

and you go back and he gives you another nugget. So I lost to him 20 straight times. You get 20 nuggets. So I'm going to have $100,000. And by the time I get to Surreli and I can then buy a Tritini. And then I have a Dratini before I even beat the fourth gym.

You're playing chess. Well, I found out TikTok. I didn't know that was a thing. And I, you know, I will say morally, it feels completely wrong because you want to go

through the whole game without ever losing. You want purity. Yeah, you don't ever want to lose. But to be able to get a Dratini by the Fort Jim and be, and you'll have a Dragonite,

which is my favorite Pokemon, pretty sick. Yeah. Whenever you go through the phases of playing, replaying games that have been out for a while. Yeah. And your algorithm,

like, sinks with it and it shows you all the cool things to do. Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 when I played it about six months ago, dude, all the fun things that shows you can do. And you think about, Red Dead Dead Who was the first guy to do this?

Like how did you go through this entire process? Some of the things they find out. It's incredible. Wait, did you see the Red Dead one? It was on, I found this like a couple months ago, but it was,

there's something to do with like, light poles or something. And like there was like a marking on the light pole, but it was only there at a certain day. And it would point in a direction. You went to the next direction. You found another light pole that had another clue on it. And it's like,

I don't know, it was some patch. And it's like taking people like eight months to, like, and they're working together to solve this thing. and no one's even solved with the end game of this patches, but there's just random instructions throughout the game to do random things. God.

No, I have not heard of that. But there's not even a finish to it yet. Like people are just like, okay, well, we got this far, but we don't know where to go from here. What's the next step you have to take? I was like, but who found that? Dude, rock star games, the way they just have all these secret, like you can go and go into a little cave

and get $10,000 worth of gold, but it has like all these pillars. You have to touch them at specific times. And then go to the middle one and just pops out of nowhere. Like, how do you think of that type of stuff? stuff. It's just crazy. I can't imagine what this RD3 is going to be like when it comes out in 2036.

GTA 6, which I, you know, I played the first couple, you know, 10 years old, you go pick up the hooker and you lose a dollar in the alleyway. You just see him just doing this. But I, so I never really got a GTA like that. Try not play. T5 was awesome. I was talking with Jared the other day. He's telling me about how he's got businesses with his boys and they just

like run shop. Because I got out of the online world kind of early. I was back where you just ran the same. They never stopped updating it. It's like truly like there's probably a hundred different businesses that you can run. It is unbelievable. It makes sense why you just be like a firefighter. Okay.

So you can be a firefighter now. You can be a postman. You can be a pizza delivery guy. You can run meth operations or you can be like a like legal operations. You'd be good at that one. Meth? What the hell's that mean? I don't know.

From Missouri. And now our county was top five in the country once upon a time. And meth? I grew up next to a. Gotta take your accolades where you can get them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It'll go on like RD2 and just play Blackjack with his boys. Like to all go to a table and play for hours on end. That's awesome. And you just think, just do that in real life. Yeah,

we all live in different cities. No, I'm like that. He's trying to build some community with the boys. Yeah, you can go to the GTA casino and play Blackjack or you can do it in RD2. You can play like poker and stuff like that.

That's outrageous. Yeah. Jerry Beeman, a big Minecraft fan as well. I never got into Minecraft. Who is it? Dalton Schultz, the tight end, big Minecraft guy. Spent a lot of time on it.

Like, I'm pretty sure. Oh, he has a Minecraft tattoo. Does he really? Yeah. There's your kind of person right there. He sits on me. I saw, he showed me his like gaming setup.

And it's a, I think his wife games too. So they have a room where I'm pretty sure they sit back to back or they each have their own room. But his setup is like multiple screens. Everything's super nice. I'm just like blown away by it. I'm like, yeah,

I just, I have my one monitor. Yeah. PC. Kiss method. It is what it is. Yeah. No one how big of a,

how much of an avid gamer you are. Who's got the best setup that you know or have heard about across the league? I know his setup's crazy. Who's this? Dalton Schultz. Okay. Yeah, his setup is silly. Besides that, I know, I know Kyler Murray's got a cool setup because like, I mean, he's

what, isn't he with the phase gaming clan? I don't know anything about the gaming clan stuff. But there's a couple guys that I don't say, I don't take it that seriously. I spent too much time doing football stuff and like working out to then play for six to eight hours. I wish I could, but I just don't have time for that. Dude, the game, you know who looked at a good setup is Dionne Dawkins

when he was zoomed in? Yeah. Seemed like he had a setup. And new teammate. If there's Mike Evans, I hear as an avid gamer as well. He loves Fortnite. Really?

So I got Mike Evans, uh, gamer tag back after the 2019 Pro Bowl. And literally for the last seven years, I'll be online. And once or twice a year, he'll just pop into my Discord. and be like, hey, what do you guys play?

And I'm like, Mike? What's up, dude? He goes, anybody want to run Fortnite? I'm like, oh, dude, sorry, we're playing Call. Dude. He goes, all right, see you guys next time. I'm like, sick, Mike Evans. Already a bro.

Already a bro. And a new teammate. I'm super excited about Mike Evans. Did you have any idea before possibly that he could be a teammate or were you surprised everybody else when he sat on the line? Um, yeah, because I was on it. I told everybody to keep an eye on Mike Evans to the Niners. Will head.

We'll head until. I have a weird instincts. Can, can players tamper? I don't know. I don't think so either because like I see guys like sauce Gardner tweets at everybody every single year. Yeah. Like coming like so I don't know if tamperin's a real thing. I don't think so.

But I mean, Mike just asked me like the, I mean a couple was that like whatever two, three weeks ago. And he was like, hey man, like sell me on the Niners. And I was like, okay, I'd love to. Let's start with the EMF station. Yeah. No, he didn't even ask me about that. He didn't ask. He didn't ask.

He didn't ask about it. With all the soft tissues he has? Well, basically. Here's my whole theory behind the EMF. And we can talk about as long as you want is football. And like this is, I got this from juice. I thought it was a very Harvard-like response. But it was like, as a professional athlete, you're looking for anything that adds 1% right.

Get 1% better every day, whether it's red lighting, ice tubs, massages, acupuncture, whatever that is. And if there's something that could potentially make you 1% worse, wouldn't you want to know about it? And so like that's where I'm at with it. Like, is it making us 1% worse? Like, I don't know. Like if it is, hey, let's do something about it. If it's not, then, all right, whatever. So that's kind of where I'm at on it.

Sounds like Juice was listening to the bus with the boys podcast with Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, we were talking about it. Yeah. All the things. The 1% all of that stuff. Yeah. But it makes sense. It's like, yeah, if it's going to affect you negatively 1% or it's like, is practicing

on a turf field making you 1% worse every single day? Probably. And we don't. We practice on grass. But it's still like, all right, well, just take away the things that are making you a little bit worse so that you can only be working on getting better. So that's my biggest thing on it. We also talked about like with Christian.

all the layers of like when you're younger and you think okay protein is good so I'll just go to McDonald's or KFC or whatever I'm like yeah I'll have like chicken sandwich and I'm solid but then you just learn more and more and more and there's obviously a level you get to where it's like do you even have a life like how far do you go into the biohacking world before you're like okay I'm maxed out I can only do so much NAD oh so much um pimp mat sauna cold tub every rollout massages balls in the sun balls in the son what's the basper system like there's so many things and i'm sure there's a thousand other things you're not doing like where where you're like has there ever been a thing that's like hey george you could be better by doing this and you're like truly at this point i'm maxed out where it starts

taken from you because you're just stressing about doing yeah um let's see food wise like i just know like to eat healthy and not eat healthy like you like you like i don't eat fast food most of the time um like hey if you have fast food you know if you have tea bell after not of drinking like once a year. Is that really going to harm you? Probably not. Like I don't know rips too. Yeah. So like I don't really have a big thing with that. And I hired a chef so like I get good food for, you know, all the meals that I eat with him. And then I just try not to, you know, be an idiot and eat bad food. And I mean, the only thing I've really just taken out is like I don't, I haven't touched a soda besides like an occasional rupert float once in a while. Because those things are gas.

Rupert floats fuck so hard. So good. Well, yeah, I just, yeah, I'm just like, all right. Well, I just, yeah, I'm just like, I drink water. Gatorade once in a while like when I'm working out. But like it's just, and I drink Budlight. Yeah. Of course you do. Four simple ingredients. Yeah. It's so easy to enjoy. Easy to enjoy crisp, someone say. Yeah. But so it's just like you can get into it as much as you want to. And then early on my career, I kind of used a shotgun approach. Like I tried everything. And then I saw how my body responded to it. And then I got rid of some things. And I've kept some things. Like I've discovered acupuncture in like my second or third year. And I hate needles. But I do acupuncture four days a

a week in season. And I'm obsessed with it. And I think that's what like, that's my probably one of my favorite things that I do is acupuncture. And it's like that'll always be a part of my recovery, red lighting, the PMF mats. Like there's just a time in place for everything. And then, but yeah, I know like Christian does different stuff, juice does different stuff. And like, I'll ask him like that one of my favorite things about being teammates with Christian was he did he thought outside of the box on a lot of these things. And he was also coming for a different team.

So he didn't have access to the things that me and juice says. Because like me and juice were like by the end of it, we're like, we do a lot of the similar things because that's what our team provides us. But Christian came in with a whole new mindset. And so like picking his brain like, I've had. added a couple of things that he does, but I don't, I've kind of found what works for me. And I'm going into year 10. So it's like it's obviously worked decently for me.

God, year 10, baby. So how did you, uh, let's get back to the, the, what? I just got nine. Oh. He has fist bumped. Oh. So it's like, yeah. He's getting there.

He's going to get what we didn't touch. I touched. You know, you touched it. You touched it. You didn't grab it. You didn't grab it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You tickled it.

It walks away. for me. Yeah. Sorry, bud. Mike Evans, selling him on the Niners. When he hit you up and said, sell me on the Niners. Yep. Before we went off on that tangent of.

Yeah, sorry. I think one of the biggest things I said is that the Niners organization puts so much money back into the players and like how they take care of us, how we travel, how we like how our facility is ran. Like we have, I mean, I hear like one of the things that make sense to me. Like, if you were playing in the NFL, like, you're like, oh, I'm going to the NFL, they provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for you seven days a week, right? Well, not every team does that, like, which is insane to me. Like, there's teams that like, hey, the kitchen's closed at noon

on Thursday. You guys are on your own. I'm like, that doesn't make any sense. Like, our kitchen's open all the time. We have a nutritionist that's full time. There's teams that have a part-time nutritionist. Like, how does that make sense? And then, like, the way we travel, all the starters, we have like 30 lay-down beds for all the starters and people that are over like six foot four so they can travel comfortably because we're traveling, what is it, like 45,000 miles this year. We're on like a lap and a half around planet Earth with how much travel we're doing. It's like, that's the way you should travel. And then our owner does everything he can to like to put money back into the team.

Like we have health days twice a week that they pay for everything, for massage, to acupuncture, to body specialist, to fashion therapist. So it's just like, Jed does such a good job about putting money back in the team so that we can be at our best. And yeah, unfortunately, we were incredibly hurt last year. but I mean some of that's luck some of it's I mean I don't even know what the answers are like we're looking into that but um I just think our organization is ran like an NFL team is supposed to like if you ask a 10 year old kid like what would you expect the NFL team to do we do all of that plus more yeah so I kind of just sold him on the organization also we have a fantastic culture like we I mean you've probably played on teams before they're like I couldn't stand like 10 guys on the team I mean the last five years there's maybe like one guy I'm like he's not my favorite but like I don't hate it. them yeah yeah and so like we have a great culture that was built by the players that are still there and I don't know we hit people really hard in the face and we play really well that's a good sell yeah that's a good sales yeah the how the uh how the Niners grade out on the the report cards

um I'm I think we finish like top 10 which is fine honestly there's there are teams that come out hearing about the 30 late the beds on the plane is yeah like the travel stuff it's amazing and I mean that's shout at Richard Sherman we used to like my first three years I sat in economy and I was like oh this is what you do for every single flight then Richard Sherman came in and goes we're not doing that anymore players are laying the lay down beds and they're like that makes sense and then we've been laid down beds ever since yeah shout at richard Sherman we had sit in the front of the plane one time and it was just go to London and come back other than that yeah yeah we're in the back always the only spot I experienced that for one

preseason game was the Saints oh they remember remember when uh we traveled and I'm like you know I'm sitting on first class just because I was an older like I was a vet I was on first class with New Orleans because Sean Payton are the ownership with the Saints they allowed their starters and vets to sit on first class. I'm like, yo, this is fucking nuts. That is badass. I've never seen this before. Yeah. It's also like when my average travel day

is four to six hours. Like, it's like you kind of have to put, like are you really going to put Trent Williams in an economy seat? No doubt. And when you're talking about you lay down beds for every flight? Except for like Seattle, like essentially division games? Yeah, like maybe L.A. Like maybe L. which is a 40 minute flight.

We're on a small plane, but like, all right, so I'm on an airplane for 45 minutes. Yeah, that's nice. But even Seattle. Yeah, Seattle, we have a laydown. How long is that flight? An hour, 15? No, like hour 40, I think.

Okay. You're lay down. That's crazy. I mean, it's not like I actually lay down, but I actually have space to kick my feet up. Guys can have, they can do, what is it, like the game ready stuff. Like, whatever you want to do.

Like, it's just everything that the Niners organization does, to me is top class. When all these injuries are taking place, Not just this year, but last, like, you guys have kind of been, had some injuries last few years. Yeah. Big ones, too. Is it ever, like, is a conversation in the locker room ever about that 5G network station that's right next to you guys? I mean, that wasn't.

Because it became news, what, right before the Super Bowl? Yeah. And I think it's, I mean, it's a fun thing for media to, like, blow up because it's like, oh, like, conspiracy. Is this a real thing? And then you can point to, oh, the Niners do have a bunch of injuries. I had the tinfoil hat on. Sure.

And I love tinfoil hat and I love conspiracy. theories. Um, I don't, again, like, I don't have the knowledge to talk about it, really, because like, I don't really know. Um, I do know. I think someone told me this when I was in like, I think it was like my third year in the league. It was a vet. He told me that and you can fact check me on this. I don't know if this is true. But when 5G towers first came out, like the five cities that they were first out in, like those five teams were like top 10 in injuries like immediately. And I was like, that's interesting. I don't know if that's true. So you can fact check me on that. But the only thing, like when I was young, and I said this already, but there were trees in between our practice facility and the power plant.

And all the trees that were over the fence, there were no leaves on any of the trees. And I, like, I didn't notice that to like my second year. I was like, oh, that is interesting. And now the trees are gone because the, I think the NFL cut them down for the Super Bowl. Now, they cut them down last OTA. So, like, this was last, like, April. They got cut down. Got you.

But I was like, oh, that was really interesting. because I pointed out to Shanahan like in 20, 21, and he was like, I have been here for five years. I've never noticed that. I'm like, it's just an interesting thing to look at. Yeah. So I get, you know, let's go play some ball, but it's interesting. Yeah. We're just playing ball.

I'd be curious if there's somebody who's had like a like a replacement surgery where they have some metal in their body. Yeah. I wonder if they get close. They feel different. Yeah. Being by the, being by the 5G. Then if they're farther away from it, you know, on the grass or. Get in the weeds with that one.

Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, hip replacements, knee replacements. shoulder replacements. Yeah. Stuff like that. It's like when people would say like, oh, I know a storm's coming today because my knee, I said to feel something to my knee.

There's one of the keep an eye. I see every time I drive to work, there's a 5G tower on the side of the road. And this is like, I know, 15 minutes from the stadium. But they made it look like a tree. Like they covered it, you know, with like branches and like foilage. Foilage. Follage. Thank you.

Learned something today. And every time I see, I'm like, yeah, I see you. Right. You can't hide for me. Arizona they'll have fake cactus, cacti. That's just up there and it's like, that's just a metal 5G network. I see you. 100%.

Have you seen, have you seen the movie Hopper? Not yet. Dude, it's incredible. Is it good? It is one of the best kids' movies ever seen, but I can't wait to see it. You'll remember this conversation. Anybody want to give any spoilers. Was it one of the animals try to hide in a 5G tower?

Just go check it out. I'll just go check it out. Have you seen it yet? No. Oh, we want to. We're excited. Yeah, yeah. It's a great one.

It's a good one. We're in a theater. I'll be there. Yeah. I'll run a theater. It's like 500 bucks. Yeah, it's not even that expensive. Yeah.

It's actually crazy. Will's going to run a theater wall. Okay. You're in a theater and then you're saying, hey, can everybody just throw me 10 bucks? And then you're- So you're charging at the door. I mean, my friends are actually just. I was going to say, yeah, this is William in college.

Yeah. We'll start making a profit on this now. My friends are just nice enough that every time I get a theater, everyone just like bin mows me between 10 and 20 bucks. Wow. I don't even ask. George's got way better friends than you. I know.

No. You should do that. You should run a theater for the boys. Yeah. We're going to watch Hopper. And if you guys want to, you can throw Venmo Yaway. I'll pay for the... I'll buy your snacks.

That might cost more than the theater. Okay. The snacks are nuts, dude. We'll get something to go. Nuts. What's your favorite movie theater snack? Like, if you go to... Raisedettes.

What's one thing you have to do? Sour Patch Kid Watermelons. I'm a frozen cookie dough bites. Oh. Like out of the cakes, movie that you started doing that, they just have like the fridge or the freezer and put chocolates in there now. I'm a big cookie dough bag guy. What's crazy is they've taken.

I believe they've taken Raisinettes out of the theaters. Why would they do that? I don't know. They didn't track a deal. I don't know. Raisinets was on the up and up. Yeah. The Regal couldn't afford it.

The last handful of times I went, they haven't had Raisinettes. Can I put you on some popcorn game? Yeah. Are you a fan of flavored popcorn? Sure. Okay. Do you like popcorn? I mean, I don't know.

I don't know how to answer that. Do you like popcorn? I like white cheddar popcorn. Okay. But when you go to the theater and you get the popcorn, You say, hey, go ahead and puts a butter on that thing, layer it up for me. So it's real good all the way through. Yeah.

And those are those little seasonings on the side. Yes. A lot of times, amateurs, they'll go and they'll season the top. And then you get like just a layer down and all of a sudden you get a regular ass popcorn. Yeah, you do. That paper cup, I'll tell them to give me two. And you give a little scoop. And then you can season that layer right there, give a little shake.

Now you have a whole cup full of flavor the way you like popcorn. It's very smart. It's a nice little, just a little something for you guys. That's a clean take. That's a clean take. That's a nice thing. That's a clean take. Something about, dude.

That's easy. I like that. I like that. Yeah. So how's the Achilles? Doing great, actually. You know, I'm on and off of crutches. I got out of a boot like two weeks ago, which was thrilling.

Because being in a boot is horrible. We got out of that. I'm in these awesome dad shoes with heel lifts in. And I'm like, I can kind of, I can function around my house without crutches. So I just can't, you know, be on my feet all day. but, you know, it's coming along. The rehab's going great. I got one of those nice anti-gravity treadmills at the house.

Nice. I know. Alter G. Blue you up, give you a wedgy. There, it is an interesting. It definitely gets up in there.

I will say, because, like, the Niners have one, and it's one of the older ones. And I got, like, the brand new one that just came out. It is the most easy thing to possible use. Like,

I could show you to use it one time, and you'd have no issues with it. It is super easy, straightforward. Like, the old one you had, like, hook things. Step,

Super awkward and really annoying. This one, I haven't had a single issue with it, and I've used it like 30 times, and I've had no issues, super easy. I actually enjoy using that. So I'm having a great time with that. But yeah, no, my trajectory is fantastic. I think I get off of crutches in like a week or two.

And then it's just, because they told me like the hardest thing to do is walk after an Achilles. I didn't know. It's there's like, walking takes three times your body weight, which I was like, that's crazy. Running's only like five.

Hold on now. Like each step, that's the way it puts through your Achilles. Like the force, the force. And they're like, that's the hardest jump is to go from crutches to walking. And then after that, they're like, you'll get to running so fast after that. And I was like, what? That's the thing.

I'm just like, I've been so, he's pulled up Troy. That's funny. That's funny. Fuck you. Are you saying that I'm not handsome or that's my weakling? A little bit of both. A little bit of both. But no, everything's going great with it.

I'm exactly where I want to be. It was actually cool. My surgeon Eletrosh flew to see me in Nashville. He's like, well, I have a golf tournament in Florida. I'm just going to stop in Nashville and see you. He was at my barn for 45 minutes that I was exactly where he wanted me to be. And so we're trending in the right direction. How much confidence does Dr. Eletrash exude from his body?

Oh, my gosh. His poise, his calmness. His stoic, poised walk. It's beautiful. I want to hang out with him. But I've had the. the awesome opportunity to hang out with him. He's so cool.

At his house with him and Andrew Whitworth, him and Andrew Whitworth are best friends. Yes, they are. That's who that's this. I like I tore my Achilles and I mean, I got so many people reached out, you know, just condolences,

you know, rooting for you, you'll be fine, that type of stuff. Whitworth, he texted, his wife texted my wife and said, you have to see all a trosh.

Like he will fix it. He'll do a great job by you. And I was like, oh, well, I mean, it's comfort you got. I mean,

I had actually like 10 people say you have to go see a lot trosh. I was like, sounds good for me. It's also 45-minute flight from the Bay. It was either that or there's a guy in New York, I know, but I was like, I'm not going to fly on a commercial flight with a torn Achilles to New York. Right.

In January. Yeah, all the possibility of slipping, inflammation, all that stuff. Which is beyond a commercial, like, yeah, that just sounded horrible. Like, you can get on a PJ pretty cheap to go from the Bay to L.A. And back. Right. That sounds more up my alley. How long did you stay in L.A.?

Actually, I was there only there for like two. They did my surgery, call it. They did my surgery Wednesday morning. I was on a flight out Thursday morning so I could go see the boys before they went up to play Seattle. And can you put me on game of like, I've obviously never had an Achilles, but is there's like there's two different injuries, right? Like one's from the heel and once from the calf? Sure. Is it one better than the other?

How does it all go? Everyone, so like I tore it and I got my MRI. And first thing was my team doc was like you couldn't have asked for like tearing Achilles is terrible. But because you tore Achilles, this is the best case scenario for what you did. How you tore it, where you tore it, couldn't have been any better. Like, you got super lucky. Elitrauss said the same thing to me. My PT in LA said the same thing to me.

And basically how I understand it is. The most normal one is like people tear it down low by like, you know, by their heel. And when you tear it down there to anchor it, like to give it strength and to let it heal, you have to drill holes in your heel bone and then lace it through that. And then you have to wait and like part of that recovery is letting your bone heel. So I mean like you break a bone, was it like six weeks? So that it just adds that much time on to you. your recovery. Mine wasn't. Mine was up super high and had like a really nice tear. So like he was

just able to thread it only in the calf. And so there's no heel bone. There's none of that. There's no bone that was affected. And the nice thing is when you tear up higher, there's more blood flow. So it heals faster. Like you don't have to like when you tear it way down there, like there's just less blood flow in your feet. So it takes longer. So he's like you are right where you want to be and like you're going to play next year a lot of football. And I was like sick. Yeah. Could be way worse. You couldn't have had a better torn Achilles. Couldn't. Couldn't. have had a better one. Yes, like that's where most people tear it.

For those listening on the podcast, we're looking at a photo right now. But yeah, so, like, you'd have to, there, you know, it was super weird too. Like, right after I tore my Achilles, I didn't even type Achilles into my phone. And I got like, 10 videos of how people repair Achilles. And I was like, I don't want to see this. I've even had surgery yet. No shit. It's so weird how the algorithm just figures.

How many surgeries have you gotten in your life? Four? And are you nervous every time they start to? Put you out. Oh, I love it. You like it? I love it.

Hold on. You're asking a way of like going like going on? Like when they're like, hey, yeah, we count down for 10 from us and like that moment like for me, I've only had

I take the handful of times I've gone down. I take the deepest breaths. You want to feel it all. Oh. And you're gone. Yeah, I love it.

Dude, every time like they took my vitals, they shave you, whatever you gotta do until I get you prep for surgery and they'll always check and like, oh, your heart rate's a little bit.

Are you nervous? I'm like, yes. Because you hear the horror stories about like, I don't know if it was a TV show when I was little, but it was like the story of somebody going under anesthesia, they had to get surgery. And they're like, I felt everything. I was aware, but I couldn't move, couldn't speak. You guys know exactly what I'm talking about, right? Ooh.

Dude. And so every time I go into it, I'm like, what if, man? What if I'm one of the one in a million chance of like being the dude? Like wouldn't your body respond and like when your heart rate accelerate? No, because they paralyze you. Like if you have, if you have bigger. surgeries they paralyze you so you can't move and i think i think you should pay your eyes open and stuff dude you're they got the fucking thing on you no he's saying that like you're like 20 20 you got

things all over what what's the um what's the movie with gerald butler where oh uh law abiding citizen law abiding citizen what that's what he's thinking of like you're paralyzed or you feel everything but you can't move the fish that's what he's thinking of like basically but the dude's eyes still open like he knows it different but like if the docks in there and your eyes are open but you can't move and you're just like no i don't if you can even do that you're just asleep and you can't move allegedly yeah allegedly

like what were you watching I don't know what TV shows is like ER back in like 2000 I know we'll get to me possibly saying something stupid but that movie is so good and you said horror stories like this is plural I feel like we should be able to figure out like what these situations are you know what I mean yeah oh yeah I'm with you that's a nightmare actually and if

if you guys can debunk this for me that'd be incredible because this is a little bit of a fear for me well hopefully you don't have any more surgeries yeah hopefully not hopefully not Is there too many reasons you feel like this injury happened? They might be sitting in the way. Oh, we do, you know, we're doing throwing out, hey, you guys want to ask George any questions. This one here is from Matt Schramm.

Hey, at Schrammer underscore 308 on X. How does George Kittle feel about the boys cursing him for his injury? My wife hates you, Will. Why me? Why just me? Well, hey, hold on. Take your legs, man. I'll speak for myself.

Go ahead. Like you did make, I caught wind of that. Yeah, no, she's not very happy with you. They actually, I can't remember why, but Claire's mom was like, hey, I don't know what. It came across her feed. Like someone else had posted it. And so she sent it to me where you asked me if I would go to IR with a season ending injury to go to the Super Bowl. Like, I mean, I'd say a little aggressive just to ask a football player that question.

Because then you asked that to McCaffrey. Possibly, yeah. Yeah. I can't remember. Yeah. And I think at this point, hindsight 2020, I probably just, I probably just pass on the question is what I would probably do. Now, do you think that, go ahead. Sorry. I was just going to say, because we did have a conversation about it. I was like,

I, listen, I loved hand up, love Claire, love your family. Take full responsibility and accountability for it. You take full responsibility for me, tearing my Achilles. I appreciate that. Okay, maybe that full. I'll take a lot of it. I'll take most of it. Because my question is also, at what point did the football guys? He can take whatever he wants. I'll have my turn to speak. At what point do the football gods coming to play? Because say you go down and we are now reliving this moment of you're now on the, the I.R. for the. rest of the season. Now it's it's written you guys are going to the Super Bowl. Then when you fail to do so how is that part I want to see because then if you do go to Super Bowl and win that is that would have been insane. We're making a movie over this. Yeah but no and instead I'm just doing rehab every day for like four hours a day for my Achilles. Yeah. Look hindsight you know I

think I think what Will's trying to say is will gave the gods an opportunity you fulfilled it and they didn't hold their end of the bargain. I'll never argue with the football gods, man. I want to point a finger at them. That's just life. I think everybody across the, if you're not in football, you don't understand what the football guards are.

Screamed at the football gods when they took you from us. Yeah. It was very fun. I will say when I did go down, you know, this is actually crazy. I did to do a, it was Super Bowl week, right?

And so I'm there in a boot and on like a scooter. And I'm about to do this interview. And they, it's on Zoom. And they show like a highlight reel. And it's basically like, talking to George Kittle, he's coming up next. What do the Niners have to do differently?

And they show Fred Warner breaking his ankle, a highlight clip of him doing that, me tearing my Achilles, Trent Williams pulling his hammy, Brock Purdy going down with the toe injury, like highlights of just all of us getting injured. I'm like, I don't really want to see me tear my Achilles again. You guys, can you like relax? But I will say when I did, because I knew it before I even hit the ground, I was like, that's going to suck. I'm laying there on the ground.

Juice comes out to me and goes, hey, man. I'm like, yeah, give me a cart. I'm not walking this one off, bud. But then my second thought was This is really going to mess up my golf game For the entire off season I'm laying there in Philadelphia on my back Look at up the sky like

This is gonna fuck up my golf game For the next this whole off season God I was so disappointed about that I will say too Like this the first question I asked Alatrosh out of surgery when I was still loopy Was well I'd be able to golf in a march At Bandon Dunes with the boys

And he was like you will be And I was like He was about it Oh yeah he goes yeah He goes don't be an idiot I was like sick I don't know if I can hit had a driver yet, but in a boot, I can hit up to, I can go eight iron and end.

And then I have the automatic club that shoots at 260. So what's Claire Matt about? Whoa. I mean, I didn't get to play in the playoff game. It's the golf still. I don't think my wife cares that much. Yeah, I don't think my wife cares that much about my golf game. She heard the question come up.

We asked a question. He's now hurt now. We. Or I asked the question. There it is. Uh-huh. I can see why. I will say this.

I don't hold anything against the ball. boys. I'm the I am a big I'm well I know that's everybody in here I couldn't believe you got you're trying to stay out of this well I don't think you got to take in a tackle like that someone asked I think I because when you went down and you didn't get up I kind of before I knew it was in Achilles I'm watching and I kind of chuckle I'm like you know you can't go out like this like yeah no the so you didn't get up my my biggest thing behind it was like people like well why did it happen because I had like these rehab people were like what like what occurred like what were you doing that was wrong I'm like

I don't know, dude, it was week 20 of an NFL fucking season. My body's broken down. Really, like, my biggest thing that I thought it was was when I played the Colts on Monday Night Football, I, I tore like two ligaments in my ankle. And then I heard it again because I kept playing on it. And so then I was like very lopsided or I was compensating really bad. So I think it was a big part of it too. Like I was compensating for the last three weeks on one ankle. And like, so it was all the weight was on my right side.

I was basically running everything. I was on my right side. Then plus it was a weird position. I was like, yeah, I mean, that'd be my best guess. Like, I don't know. Besides it being week 20. Yeah, did you feel like any soreness in your Achilles? No.

We had a guy, Charlie Whitehurst on the time. His biggest fear was the Achilles tear. I was terrified of my dad tore both of his at the edge of 50. Really? I beat him. Damn it. He sat there and he was like, if he had a sore Achilles, he wouldn't practice that day.

Like, that's how fearful he was of tearing his Achilles. Achilles is scary. I mean, I had double Achilles synonosis back in 2021. and every step felt like I had knives and razor blades and my Achilles, both sides. And I was like, please, and like every, because I practiced every day, didn't miss a single day, but every step I was like, don't go down. Like, please, please, God. Yeah, no doubt.

Some else survived the whole season, though. Survive the whole thing. Sure. And pull up that thing again because we have, we do a little call back here real quick. Boom. Yes. Is theoretically possible to be under general anesthesia. One of a thousand cases.

Experience anesthesia awareness where the patient wakes up, hears conversation or feel sensation during surgery. Only one to two out of a thousand. That's, I feel, I wish I was up one out of a million. Right. I thought it was, I thought it was, I thought it would be way bigger than that. That's kind of low. Yeah, it's kind of low. That's kind of feels like 10%.

This is your friend, guys. This motherfucker. What do we have to do to Claire? What do we have to do for Claire? What have to do my wife? Whoa. Whoa. What do we have to do for Claire for us to patch up this relationship?

You guys can come to Titan You and be our host of Titan U for the day of practice. Host of Titan U. We're doing it live from Vanderbilt Stadium with an open crowd. What? You want us to host it. Do we get to wear what we want? What is that mean? Like have headsets on.

Like are we commentating it? I think you guys like walk around. You'd be like emcees of practice. Like you just go around and interact with the whole crowd or like an interview guys on the field. And this is how we would make it up to Claire. Yes. William?

Oh, man. Okay. No sidebar. No sidebar. We're in. You're going to you. Maybe have a conversation about it. But yep.

We'll do it. Sick. What's the day? Where's Bruce said? June 23rd is the practice day. Perfect. That's a Tuesday. Taylor's birthday is 21st.

I can do that. Well, you should just take her to the Titan, you and friends' concert. On, that's the same day, the 23rd. Do we know who our guests are going to be? Um, actually all, like, I, I will be. I will be cold calling about 20 artists here in the next two weeks. Hey, but is the one going to be there? I cannot confirm or to die.

The one. So this thing, last year when Travis told me that Taylor was coming, like to Tideon you, I was like, that's sick. If she wants to go to anything, here's the events that we have planned. And she showed up to everything. And then the only reason that she sang was because my mom and Claire's mom were like, you should totally sing and like kind of bullied her into doing it. No one bullies Taylor Swift.

I'm kidding. But then because Taylor did it, we got Luke Combs to do it too. That's the funniest thing, too, is like Luke Combs sang, buy dirt. And then two artists later, Taylor Swift comes out and just brings a house down. I've never actually heard a venue be that loud before. That was awesome. Yeah, it was incredible. She owned the stage, too.

She knew exactly what she was doing, how she was doing it. Yeah, she's incredible. She's a pro. She's a true outlier. I like to envision tight in you. they're just in the, they're in the war room. They're like, we need to get Taylor Swift. We've got to get busing with the boys.

Right. If we can get these two dominoes to fall, that's how we outdo next year. So we're in June 23rd. We'll be emceeing live at Vanderbilt practice facility. No, we have the stadium. Vanderbilt Stadium. Yeah. As a make right for Claire.

As a make right for Claire. Yeah. All right. And she might have other demands past that, but you guys already agreed. Well, hold on. No, no. I ask, what do we have to do to make it right? And you said, this one.

thing. No, no, no, no, no. I said this would help. Don't go back and check. Run it back. Yeah, I'm pretty sure we did it. Oh, they already added to the schedule. See, that's, that's, that's, we got the boys on top of it. That's a binding agreement. Yep. Yeah. God, we're in it. All right. We're livers for tied in you. I'm a lifer for the bus. For the boys. That's my boy right there. That is my boy. Yes. We want to get some questions for Joe Schittl. Oh, also another one. So you talked about tampering earlier. Oh, yeah. There's a clip that came out last week after you guys signed. Dre Greenlaw.

Yeah. Are you in an interview and you're like, oh, maybe old friends. Yeah, I was just trying to be interesting. I have no idea. Oh, okay. Well, do I got it. I got to ask about Debo like 10 times Super Bowl week and I think that was just later in my interview.

So I just like, oh, yeah, we might sign some old people back because I was just tired of getting asked about if we're going to sign Debo or not. I have no idea. They don't call me and ask. Got you. They do not care what my opinion is. Well, that's what George is in there. He doesn't want, yeah, they don't get you in the war room or anything like that?

No. Getting Dre back. that was huge. I was a huge fan of that. I mean, one, he's fantastic. When he's on the field,

he makes everybody around him better. Like, I've never, I've never seen a player play with more juice than he does. And the cool thing is like, you look at Fred Warner, who's an amazing football player,

but like, Dre makes him even better because Fred can feed off his juice. And then they just are like, you know, the Bash Brothers or wherever they call him. I love that. And so like that,

and so like that, I'm just, I'm very look, I'm looking forward to Dreger in on, on our football field again. Put me on some, Robert Sala. Yeah. Actually,

I've been, can I text Robert Sala? Is that, is that tampering? I don't know. Can you shoot him a message right now? Okay, good, good, good, good, good.

No, but, shoot him a face time. Salah's been, call him, dude. He's a big golf guy. And so I've been helping him look at golf clubs in the Nashville area.

Okay, nice. He went golfing with my strength coach Josh and Rob Tanya he went golfing with them the other day and had a great time. He loves golf. Loves. it. What does what does Nashville have to look forward to? You know, Jack, he's an absolute sicker for the

Titans. Um, let's see. I would say this year, I talked to, I talked to Sala more this year than I did in the four years that I was with him. I'm talking like twice a week. I would just go sit in his office for anywhere from five to 30 minutes and we would just talk. He's a big conspiracy theory guy. I'll say that. Love that. Love that. Love's conspiracy. Big year for the conspiracy theories. Yes, it is. But he, oh, this is me giving Robert Sala. smelling salt. So he's one of the boys for sure. What do you have to look forward to?

He knows how to inspire. He has great, great messaging. I think he's, I mean, he kind of is, I mean, he's part of the invention

of that, like, defense that he coaches. And I think, I mean, our defense was mauled by injuries. And we somehow, he was a part of us

winning 13 games. Like, he knows how to put people in good positions to succeed. I think you give him, like, I think the Titans are going to do good by him and give him

a lot of, I don't know, like control of his team. And I think when he wants to run the team that way he wants to do it, just give him some time. And I think he's going to really put some good games out there. I really do. Especially, I mean, you guys, Cam Ward's a hell of a football player. Like, he's special. Yeah, Brian Dabble is in there too.

Like, they got. Oh, yeah. So, like, I mean, the Titans are going to be good. I just, this is my thing. Like, my rookie year with Shanahan, we started the year off 0 and 9. We were 1 in 10 that we won, what, five straight games in the season? And then the next year, We had a couple of injuries.

We were four and 12. So just like, just give him a couple years because becoming a good team in the NFL is incredibly difficult unless you already have a stacked roster. But he does not have a stacked roster. That's not. Shannon went. No. So like just give him a couple years.

Like don't, don't get. He's going to turn the, he's going to, he's going to turn around. He's going to drive the bus in the right direction. That, uh, yeah, we don't make those decisions. But yeah, if it was up to us, we definitely have a lot more time. I would. He's getting several years. I, that's what I think.

We'll give him a half decade. Yeah. Yeah, five year a show. you can do. Yeah, I mean, I love listening to him talk like early in my career. Like, Shanahan would let him talk to the team like the night before games and stuff like that. And I always enjoyed his conversation. But the crazy thing for me, though, like, I've never had a defensive coach as my head coach. Like, I've always had Shanahan. And so like meetings are ran a certain way. So like, I mean, people always tell me like defensive coaches this run like

their mindset for teams is different than an offensive coach. So I don't know what that's going to be like. But overall, like, I have a ton of respect for Sal and I know how he operates on a day to day basis. You look at the Seahawks and Mike McDonald, defensive-minded cat. Yeah. It works. Now, they were a good team when he got him, and then they just got way better. They drafts really well up there. Yeah, and Sam Adip paned out.

Seahawks are nice. Yeah, they are. They won the Super Bowl. Yeah, but even going in the next year with George being a nineer, I'm just saying, like, Seahawks are nice. Yeah, they're a great team. And they, I think the Seahawks have... They're my favorite in that division. I think your favorite team or, like, the team that you picked to win the most games?

Team I picked to win the most games. Hey, look. Your gambling guide is what it is. Yeah, yeah. Just like how Nebraska's, you know, they're five and a half wins next season. So, I mean, yeah, you pick whatever team you want to back, man.

Made a real person with that one. Have you guys made good on your guys' bets together from the last game? All right. What do we have last game? I don't think we even talked about the Iowa game, the Iowa Nebraska game football. That's how you know it's gotten bad.

Like, there's got to be like... He went on a PR tour on Scott Van Gogh. That's right. That's right. That was a hell of a promo. That was a great problem. That was completely I would I was the only heads up I had on that whole thing was right before I go on. He goes, Hey, George, want me to tee you up to go off on Will Compton? And I said, sure, tee me up. And then I just felt good about it. I just kept rolling. It was so much fun. I feel it's getting to the point where like Nebraska needs to win a couple. Well, I mean, yeah, what is it? It would be more fun. It is what it is. That is correct. Yeah, we had to win a couple. That way,

it's like, we got a rivalry back. win. He's talking about rivalries. It's like Iowa and Nebraska. I just still think about the old athletic director saying that Iowa has to win a couple games before they get to set the big kids table with us. And now ever since then, I think the record is like 12 and 2 in the last 14 years. So.

Yeah. Look, we got to win one. I don't even not like Nebraska. I just don't like your old athletic director because I just, why would you say that? Yeah. It is what it is. We don't have to dive into that one. He cashed check his ass can't cash or something.

Whatever that's saying is. Yeah. He wrote a check his ass can cash. Yeah, it's super tough. This one comes from Johnny Toner at Tone or Johnny. George. That's clever. What would be your stat line if you, if Will had to cover you for a full game?

How many targets do I get? You get 12 targets. He wouldn't get 12. That's what everybody's missing. He might pop one. I go 11 for 12 and the only non-catch would be an overthrow. And is this like true one? Is this true one or one or?

does he get help over the top? One of one-on-one. Oh. This is, you guys spread him out. He tries to check rat, and the coach goes, no. We got a bad coachie staff. We got to do some internal work here.

Yeah, that's like when Iowa played Chris McCaffrey in the Rose Bowl, and we thought putting a lineback on one-on-one, the whole game was a good idea. He broke every record. Did you get on the field when we played against each other? Special teams, probably, a couple reps. Yeah, look, you get the, 11-12-catches.

How do you get the best of me? What yard line are we throwing from? Is it the first play of every drop? you're playing the game? 150 minimum. Wow. What's the most you had in the game? Three is my most.

Do you go four? Yeah, three. I don't mean like, because like someone else is going to tackle me. Like, unfortunately, I don't run a four, three, forty. So other people are going to catch me at some point. I mean, I'd hawk you. No. What?

He's a four to five guys. I'd be playing chess though. Like you'd already be on my fantasy team, so I wouldn't even sweat it. He'd have a hell of a parlay set up for me. People come up to Will and the locker of your handman. Sorry about what? I might get cooked this game. He'd look at it, be like, okay, over on catches, over on yards, over on touchdowns, three touchdowns score, $10 won $1,000.

Yeah. Easy. Yeah. Go viral. Get popped. Get locked up. Go out of legend. Go out of legend.

Go out with a massive bag. You leave the locker with a briefcase of fish. Fandling meets you on the outside. Hey, good job, Will. Oh, yeah. Look at that thing. Yeah, McCaffer going off. Yeah, that was.

I was on the sideline for that one. That was really fun. That is just crazy. Him too putting the team on his back this year. So this is 4. He had 431 touches, which I don't know when's the last time somebody had that many touches

in an NFL season besides a quarterback? I have no idea. He's incredible. Like, the way he takes care of his body, his mindset, everything that he does, how he prepares. He is a true one-of-one creature.

Is Christian probably the number one most health-conscious guy on the team? Just like, he does anything that is legal for him to do to stay healthy and be on a football field. Like he, he sees somebody that does something illegal. Will. It's currently on the roster.

On this bus or on the roster? Not me. On the roster. Oh. No one that I'm aware of. Dude. Will just. Let's go a little deeper.

Who does some illegal shit on it? when Taylor asked that question are you thinking in your head like I probably take care of myself the best on everybody on the team between I think me and Christian probably go the most above and beyond like trying to try new things spending money on it like I think us too probably go the above and beyond um like what did you pay for that alter G what are the what are the I'm renting it for two months oh which yeah which actually isn't that cheap either but I mean I think the Alter G's are like 40 grand, which is, I thought it would be significantly more than that. But I'm just renting it for a couple months.

What does Trent Williams do for his body? Sleeps. That's a dude that just has to wake up. I mean, I envision Trent Williams like a vampire. Like what are the vampire sleeping? What are those things called? A coffin. Coffin on these nuts, dude.

Ah! That was good. Yeah. You got that one. Oh my God. Yeah. That surprised me. Yeah.

Did anybody else? He said, probably just sleep. I've been sitting on that boy right there. Thank you, boys. Thank you. Thank you. That is. That was good.

Thank you. Yeah. Wow. Damn. My heart was racing too. When you said probably just sleets with like, here we go. How many of you have you used that before? I tried to use in the locker room.

They didn't think it worked. In my mind, it worked. I'm two for two. I'm two for two on the vampire. And I like looked around like, I had guys. And I was like, I guess. Well, if the lockerman will support it. No, no, no, that one was real.

That was good. That example right there, and now you can go side by side and see, like, why. We don't got to do that. No, let's go side by side. Hey, don't clip that. That was a plus. That was great. Delivery was fantastic.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Man, I don't know what else we can do in this podcast anymore. God, dang. Well, yeah, Trent, he doesn't do shit for his body. My next three days are just going to think about that moment. Just turmoil in my brain. George is like, son of a. Bitch, son of a bread biscuit.

The crazy thing about Trin is that he literally sleeps and he like, where Casey, this is the thing that Trent does that people don't see. When he's in a, when he's in a gym, he trains so hard. Like, so he doesn't practice on Wednesdays, but he's in there for two hours on Wednesday doing every workout possible, super high weights, explosive movements, box jumps. I mean, watching him lift is a crazy crazy. crazy, crazy thing to see. So, but like, that's kind of what he does for his body.

He's currently, there's a negotiation going on right now. I've known anything about it. You guys act like I have the insider information on a lot of this stuff. As you're talking about how I started thinking about in my head, I was like, oh, yeah, I did see him come across my timeline for, I don't even know what it is. Can't lose out, man. Can't lose Trent. So the wheels fall off with Trent.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he's still the best what he does. You said two Hall of Fame careers on two different teams. That's pretty cool. That is pretty badass. God, damn. not be nice yeah right him and who else tom yeah maybe essentially it i mean dude he really is the goat yeah who else anybody christian i played on one team sure i'm not going to home yeah cmc's a great

yeah cmc's a good one what are we what's the guy guys that have played for two separate teams have had probably two separate hall of fame careers yeah i mean you got cmc raining moss did ball with Patriots. Did ball with the Patriots. How long did he do ball? How long was he with the Patriots though? I don't think he was. Yeah, but it's like three or four years.

He was going to do it. Was that the year they just got that one hand or with the Redskins? Like nine? Because he's in like year 16 or 17 now, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, eight or nine, I think, yeah. Gosh.

Dude, a Colton Patriots. AP in his prime was so sick. Oh, yeah. What about Peyton? One year at the Broncos. Oh, two year? No, he wasn't. Was you really?

Yeah. He went to two-sumerable. He was there at least four years. Was he really? Peyton Manning. There's some, there's some brain stuff that happens on this bus.

It's all good. Yeah. Yeah. I used all of my powers on the D's nuts show. I'm cooked now. Four years. Okay.

Yeah, he bawled with the Broncos too. He did. Yeah, it was that the year there, the year they lost to the Seahawks in Super Bowl, they were the number one offense. That was when the opening night, didn't he throw for six touchdown passes? Seven.

seven. I would love to just be in a game like that where my quarterback throws seven touchdown passes. Like how fun would that be? God, imagine being in that game and not being a guy that caught a touchdown. That'd be so tough. That's really great for everybody else.

So happy for everybody. Yeah, that's insane. Seven of them, huh, Peyton? Couldn't come this way at all, could you? That was like, we played the Cardinals a couple years ago and Christian had four touchdowns, one rushing and three receiving. And then like, me, Dibon, I, you were just like,

hey, I'll take one. Jeez Louise, bud. Listen, you brought up a good. got just now. Iyuk? What's the deal, man? Oh, um, let's see. Speak totally freely, uninhibited. Unhibited. No one's listening to the show. No one's listening to the show. Driving by stadiums at 98 miles an hour. Yeah, I don't know about that. The last time I saw Ayyuk was, um, because he was kind of at training camp, kind of not. And then he was like in and out of the building throughout like those first couple weeks. And I started going.

out to like see him like in the wait room because he didn't go into the locker room or the trainer anymore so he would just go to the wait room to do his rehab and was this like the holdout thing he was doing no this was this was this past year like he like he like he was under contract this was yeah the year after this was this past season so there's no holdout or anything like that um and i just got there and talk to him because like didn't go to meetings or anything like that and so I was like I just talk to him like hey let him know that hey I'm your guy like just like no I love you. And then literally like I started doing that call week six. I don't really know what week it was. And then literally a week later that story came out like all the crazy theft. And then I didn't

see him again. Really? Yeah. So like I don't really. I don't like this is something I bring up to like John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan very often. Like like that's on you guys. And I just try to be there for the players if there's something going on because you know, like you always want to be there for the boys. But like I don't know. I don't know. I don't have a I don't know what's going on with Brandon. Like I know what he's thinking about or you know what he's thinking so I I really have no idea yeah it's hard when you see a guy struggling and you don't know all all the pieces and you just want to help yeah like I just hey man like we played together for four years now like I love you I love playing football with you how can I help and then like literally two days later the article comes out and I

don't see him again so I just like all right he did text me though after I got hurt did he yeah said thinking of you good team made said thanks dude good team that was yeah so I haven't really talk to him. So, like, I really don't know. No clue. Oh. We have a question here from Josh Evans. George, if you could steal one ability from any current NFL player, who would it be and what would it, and what would it be? Any ability. Um, I mean, can you imagine being 245 and having tire kill speed. Yeah, that'd be pretty nice. That'd be really, that'd be really cool. That'd be awesome. Yeah. I think, I think that's Kenyon Zedek, right? Is that the new tight end coming out? Yeah, at Oregon.

You ran like a 4-4. Yeah, something crazy. 4-3-9. 4-3-9. Vernon ran a 4-38, right? Or 4-36. Dude, that's nuts. Even when you see that, Sadiq.

No, it's insane. You look at him in pads, you're like, Jesus Christ, built in the lap. How big is he? Yeah, 4-3-a-boy is he. Yeah, he's a... Get some eyes, get caught him to eyes on that body real quick. Yeah. Does he?

That kind of speed would be awesome. Good quads? Yeah, I think, I mean, that would just be fun. What? He doesn't bat anything, buddy. You've seen this dude. He's the dude that wears like kind of the Michael Bennett pads, but they look good. You said that 10 seconds ago.

Who did? Oh, did you really? Yeah. Loud enough too for everyone to hear it. There you go. That's actually, dude, Taylor, what are you doing? Think about that joke I got. I'm kind of done.

I'm kind of done now, dude. I'm kind of over it. Look at that. Oh, yeah. It's a good-looking cat. Yeah. Hey, Sherman. He didn't want to see the top half.

He wants to see the bottom half. Show him the dots. Just type in his legs. Didn't he? I mean, he said like three combine records. Yeah. Some guys are just freaky, man. He's twitchy.

Twitchy. Twitchy. Good cast. Do you see college football? The NCAA has made it you have to wear socks now. You can't go calves out. Yeah. How do you feel about that?

I mean, when I was in Iowa, you were required to wear the half-stripe socks. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. We were always required to wear the knee braces, but the sock thing. I always thought it was kind of cool. with a little skin show. I'm indifferent to it. If guys want to do it, I never really cared.

Like, oh, we want everyone to look the same. Yeah, I just hope they don't go to the knee pad thing. I like how guys can kind of have the knee exposed. I mean, you can't in the NFL. Yeah, you can't at all. No, no, no, no, you get to find a lot. I think they changed that top of the ball. Am I wrong?

With the sock thing? You have to have your knees covered now. We have your knees covered also. I believe I could be wrong, but I think that's the top of shoe to bottom of the pants. It's what it says right there. What's the, what's the biggest? fine you've taken uh my fuck dals t-shirt that was like 16 grand and then the best thing was

bud light paid it really yes he did man god that's fucking clean crisp i bent mode you 15 dollars i think that's an eagle's thing fun fact that's an eagle's man boy jeremy clump very nice true story jimmy clem did that maybe more questions for george care i got to go back there's one right here from floyd a gator i haven't read this one yet Has he ever felt like his last name kiddle is just a little bit gay? Because I do. Not like a whole lot gay, but definitely a little bit gay. Your gay's got quieter and quieter as you read it.

I haven't read it. Yeah. You're just going to read most on the top. You're just reading a comment. That's right. Those are Wilcompton's words. Like an orientation or like happy? That's for you to decide.

What is the one's question? No, this is the Gator one. Oh, yeah. Oh, favorite Iowa City bar and food spot? The bar that I would always go to back in the day was Summit. I had a great time there,

drank a lot of beverages there. Still have a good relationship with the owner. He sends back a care package once a year with all the new t-shirts. Nice. Absolutely love it. He loved me. Yeah, he loved me and CJ, uh,

Bethard. Well, I mean, CJ was like the Golden Boy of Iowa, though. When you go 12 and O as a quarterback, people kind of like you. Oh, yeah. Let's see, food spot. Poncheros is what, you know, that started. You don't remember Ponch? Ponchos the Mexican spot?

Yeah. The Chipotle-esque place? Way better, but yes. I agree, it's better. Yeah, yeah. Hey, George could chime in with some of the Nashville cuisine. I just got into chili burritos down there in Brentwood. Have you guys had that yet?

Yeah, I had it for dinner last night. It is. What is your overall thoughts on? Can I just say, can I say one thing about chili burrito? Yeah. I had the one in Brentwood. So yeah,

right over there by Resilient. I was. Underwhelmed? Underwhelmed. I've gone there four times, though, and I've had a great experience all four times. Taylor,

you went to chili burrito and did not get a burrito though, correct? Yeah, he's got tacos. My other guy about this. It's called burrito. Fuck. Okay.

And Taylor's are you trying to. What are you having in the menu? It's not going to be good. Bro. Go to Zips, dude. You're not going to find something on there. you're not going to like, dude. Don't all go on me, guys.

Go to Zips. Have you been to Zips? George, playing in San Fran. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, have you been to Zips? I don't even know what that is. Go ahead. George, you come from a great city of cuisine out in San Francisco. What are your overall thoughts on Nashville's food scene?

I love Nashville's food scene. I mean, I went from Iowa to Oklahoma to my rookie year there. And then I was here since. And, I mean, like, I had never had a barbecue table. taco before and that opened my eyes. I have a barbecue catfish taco from Edleys. Kind of gas. The brisket tacos is very good.

I lived at Edlis. Very good. My first like three off-sons here, I had Edleys twice a week. So like, I thoroughly enjoy Nashville food. What's your problem with you saying? Being in San Francisco, what's your take on Nashville Mexican food? We talked about this. I chimed in already. Did you? Yeah, I texted you. I texted you a place

to take your kids out by my house. Yeah. El Hardines. It's fantastic. I don't know. Maybe if you wanted to publicly say it, but yeah. Elhardine's, I would go there. I might go there for lunch today. Who knows? They make margaritas that are like this big.

It's fantastic. They really? And it's like, it's like, it's like $8. God, that fires me honest. Getting sauced at a well-decorated Mexican restaurant. That is. This is something that I would love to do with, I would love to do this to the boys.

I can't remember, I saw this like on Twitter six years ago and it was like, something about just going to an Applebee's and just getting hammered with the boys. and I was like, I've wanted to do that for so long. Just go to the bar, order half-priced apps, drink a lot of alcohol, and just sit there at the bar at an applebees or a chilies. Does that sound really fun?

It sounds like an amazing time. A lot of fun. You know what the best time to do that is? Probably March Madness. I am in. I'm in. Let's do it. I would love to go.

Just give me a day. Give me like a Tuesday afternoon. I will be there. Does that sound like a great time, though? It does sound like a great time. I'll be honest. Like show up at like, show up at like 1130 noon.

get some apps, get some drinks. You can take an Uber home at like four o'clock. Four hours at the bar? You say like, keep him coming. We're going to be here a long time. Yeah. Do that strawberry marg? I want another.

Just four and a half hours of drinking with the boys. Does that sound fantastic? Bud light after bud light. Kind of sounds nice. I know. I got to go to rehab. He says he's going to be gone. This weekend and next week is that's my abandoned trip.

And so, but when I get back from that, I'll be here. Group chat will be up. We'll get it. We'll spark it up. talk through it. I'll tell you what, you're going to have to be the one that. I will.

You have to be the guy. Here's a, because I'm down, but I'm already thinking about the next day. I'm already thinking about being hung over, the kids being X, Y, and Z. But that's why you,

putting the kids down at night. Hear me out though. That's why you do it like noon. You're done drinking at four. Chug some waters by the end of it. You go to bed at a good time. Your next day is not that affected. He's got it.

I'm not saying, the day drinking is truly the move. Oh, but I'm just thinking about you and me, because I know I'm a little more hesitant to it since I've had kids. We just got to do it. I have to have like an IV lined up for the next day.

Like I'm 34. We can do an Ivy that night. But I'm 36. I know. You could die from old age. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm down to do this. I thought you were 40, dude. Weird thing to dapp. I know. I don't know why I know why you dapped on that. It's been a bit of a blender pod, dude. I have a take. Just daff it.

Anytime somebody puts a handout, I'm daffing. So. Hell yeah, dude. I wanted to do. this Applebee's thing in California but then I looked up the reviews for Applebee's and Chili's in like the Bay Area and it was like half a star

That's how it is though on those chains No no no but like in Iowa and I'll tell you probably Nebraska Applebee's was kind of nice Like you're looking at a three to four star review on most of those and I was talking about this just the other day and I came to the decision that I think that chain restaurants

aren't as good in California because you can't just work that job because you can't afford to live there. And so it's like constantly, like you don't have the same like chef that's been there for 10 years. Like you do, there's an eye hopping Corva that's had like the same guy in the back, Corval, Iowa that's had the same guy in the back since I was a little kid. So like he knows how to whip that shit up. But these other places in like California, like the turnover is just so high because people can't work there very long because they can't afford to live anywhere. A lot of turnover.

A lot of turnover. And so it's just like that's why they have these terrible reviews because it's always someone random making your food. They don't know how to do it. The service is really slow. And like they just, they never have enough people that work there. So, like, I don't even know how these places are alive anymore. Because I went into one with Claire one time. We walked in and we're like, yeah, that's not going to happen. Turn around, walked right back out. Yeah.

So I'm hoping that's a good thing. I'm hoping the ones in Nashville maybe are a little bit better. Yeah, clean take. When we talk about. It's fair right. But also it's like when you're growing up in like small town, middle of America, small town USA. Like you're surprised when people are like, oh, Appleby sucks.

You're just like, what are you talking about? Like, I'm pretty sure Texas Roadhouse is the best steakhouse in America. Yeah. Yeah. That's how I grew up. I was like, oh, we're going to Texas Roadhouse tonight? Oh, like this is the greatest thing ever. I want to stick on this Applebee's thing for a second.

Oh, yeah. If there was, if a specific, do you want to do Applebee's, Chili's, do you want to go a little more Cinco de Mayo-esque? Joklalo wings. B-dubs. I like, B-dubs is kind of a hitter. Oh, B-dubs is, yeah, great. Yeah.

You guys ever do Wingstop? We do some wings stop. I got a package from Wingstop today. I got a present from Wingstop. It was a giant, their new 32-ounce ranch. Yeah. I have a bowl. It says wing stop on it.

That's awesome. White, their ranch is insane. Hit so hard. Let's just go to Little Caesars because that's one of my sponsors. We should just go there. They don't have beers. We could,

we'll bring beers. Do we, we'll run it out like Will's going to win out. Do we get somebody to sponsor Applebee's or Chili? Is just this possible vlog? Or maybe some social stuff? And it's just getting, us getting tanked at this?

Or do we just keep it boys? I was going to say, what if we just have a boys day? Keep it boys. Keep it boys. That'd be hilarious. And there's one selfie from the bar. at the start and then at the end.

Yeah. Just to see how banged up we are. Yeah. The Chili's by Bandy, the bar scene there actually rits. Amen. They have an active bar scene in bed. Now, are you a table, booth, or bar guy? I mean, just for this instance, I think we'd just take over the bar.

I like it. Here's what I want to say for all of ourselves. And I really, I want to make sure we nail it down because I want to do this, but I need to be talked into doing this. All right, cool. I'll talk you into it. I'll talk you into bed too. I want to say this to protect us.

Because Claire's came out. after us about the clip we had. Claire wants me to do this. Yes, now she does. But if there's any setback with George. Yeah. That's one thing if it's vlog, like people, people will be like, oh, George said to get him.

I'm just saying, like, just to protect us. Ooh, that's good. From Claire. If there's any setback, we could be the culprits. No, we could buy match. Right now one crazy thing has happened that we, you said, happened to George. If a second thing happens, it's no good. We can't happen.

Follow the bar stool. On the micro, it sounds like a great gut. On the macro. Yeah. I think you're saying, this is the thing. I think you're thinking too hard. I know you have a big Nebraska brain, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Are those blue light glasses? They have some blue light. Oh, nice. Those are prescription, prescription. Yeah, Taylor put it on. He's like, yeah. Yeah, I start looking at those. Dude, I had those on for maybe a minute time.

I still have a headache. I know. Is it nice? Do you have good eyes? No. You had surgery? They're awful. Still haven't.

I was curious if these would just help. I was kind of hoping when I put them on. I was like, man, I hope like all of a sudden everything's clear. No. No, no, no, no, no. I can see everybody. But like the font, like, dude.

Like I can see people. I could see people. I could see people. Super details and like driving at night. Buddy, it's not great. It is not great. You just a little too? No, no, no.

You did a hard lean. I thought you were hitting a tooth on there. I just did a little adjust. I had like a wedgy. We need to. I can help you. We need to figure out. We need to hit the group chat.

We need to find a day. We're not going to do it though. We're not going to do it. We're not going to keep this one off the books. Off the books. Yeah, we're definitely not going to keep it above four. We're going to do it in a couple Tuesdays from now. Yeah.

For sure Tuesday, huh? Because Wednesdays are my easy day. Okay. Then we got to make sure that Wednesdays are easy day. Yeah, like we're structuring around George. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got to be around George. 11 to 5 is we're saying 11 to 5 11 to 4 12 to 4 for all I care

earlier I mean once if it's during March madness I'm thinking like 9 to 3 we'll schedule the timing around the games a couple weeks from now yeah yeah we're not basketball your games still happen in a couple weeks we we are basketball yeah we'll have sweet 16 at least yeah which Nebraska but that's a night time that's a night time yeah you're right we'll figure something else against Florida I wonder if like Chili's or Applebee's like let us like play games or something Maybe. Because I kind of, what if we just go to somebody's house?

We have beer. No, the point of it is. You're right. You're right. You're right. Yeah. The point of it's to go to a Chili's end or Applebee. We just go to my house.

who you got making the final four oh fuck michigan's a one seed i think it's michigan is so they're going to lose in the 16 probably that's you know my my goal is crazy shot no i what i want to happen I mean, that was me. All I won, all I want are, if four Big Ten teams could make it to the final four, I love that. I love Big Ten dominance in these, in these situations. So, like, um, who are the one seeds? Michigan.

I was going to have to get past Michigan, Florida, Duke, Arizona. All right. So I got Duke, I feel like, is it Arizona always a one seed? Yeah. But fun stat that Sherman was like no one west of what, where? Kansas. Kansas has won the national championship. since 1989.

That's crazy. Yeah, I almost got all that out. Oh, that's a fun little bracket. Is Vanderbilt good? Vanderbilt's nice, yes. Vanderbilt's nice. In the SEC championship? And Florida's a one?

Oh, that's cool. So are they hiring, are they riding high and mighty, or did that one win first Florida tank them? You're getting... I say Vanity's riding high and mighty. Okay, cool. Good question for the inside of the

bus boys. Yeah. I don't know. Us, your guess is as good as ours. I think Michigan's really good. They're in March Madness. I think Michigan State's always, they're always good at basketball, right? Michigan State's got one kid.

Is Tom Iso? Don't they have the one kid that kicks dudes in the dicks? Yeah. Michigan State. Do they have a guy that kicks dudes in the dicks? Oh, sure. You got it? Pull it up, pull up.

Well, it's been going on all year. That's the only thing because El Prez always talks about it. Dude, Michigan State. Just a gross scroll. as a gross place East Lansing he was actually my old tight-ins coach

from Iowa who's still really close friend of mine he was a special teams coordinator for Iowa and they've been like top two and then in college football for the last six years

yeah that guy but he just he took the special teams coordinator job at Michigan State he went in there with was it Fitzgerald yeah that's interesting

Pat Fitzgerald yeah culture guy they're over they're gonna be better they're gonna be they're gonna be a lot better this year

but they lost Charles Yeah, just... Yeah, but something about Patty Fitzgerald. I know. Gritty wins. They'll have at least four gritty wins. Is that that restaurant that Taylor was talking about? That Zips, yeah.

Do you want to talk about Zips? Where is it? It's in the great state of Arizona, arguably the best state in all 50 states. Yeah, I don't really go to Arizona that often. Oh, I thought you like golf. Anyway, Zips, you go to Zips. I do love Wicoppa. Buddy.

Monaco Faccia, extra jalapeno dip in Suss. That's what you're standing out right there. And these will be the best wings you ever have in your life. You get the golden wings. That's a sandwich. Yep. But you get the golden wings. Is that a sandwich or a burrito?

Hey, that's the best question you can have possibly asked. Who knows, dude? It's a faccia. It's a facacia. Golden wings, medium, extra crispy, extra saucy. Get you some extra ranch too because the ranch goes hard. I wish there's a way on your phone where you could like set a reminder and it only reminds

you when you're in Arizona. Wouldn't that be a cool thing? When's the last time you've been to Arizona besides a football game? Like three years, bachelor party. So you got to get back. You got to get back. I like Arizona. Yeah, Arizona's great.

Arizona, January, February, March, fantastic. Even April. Even April. Literally October to April, you're living. Yeah. That's where you want to live in that time. Hey, it's me and Peter Paker. That's my guy.

He played tight-in-in-at-Ivo. Nice. Is that us at Wicopo? Could be. Could be. But next time you're in Zip, is that Wicopah? Oh, hell yeah. And we have a take,

where did you get that phone? I've been like four times. They have taken such elite care of me every time I go there. What if we take, we fly. to Arizona. Yep, I'm in. In the morning, go to Zips,

have like 17 zipparitas between all of us and fly back same day. Put that, add that to the list. More than March Vanda's saying? Luke Combs. No, that sounds like that.

Oh, no, no, no, no, not the list that'll never happen. But then we're saying that list is going to happen. It's our wish list. What's your wish list?

We just started building today. We just started building today. In regards to what? Right now our wish list is Luke Combs travels with us so we can put them through like different photo shoots with teams.

Like an official visit. Like if he went to LSU He's got like the back plate on with the jersey and he does the gloves and all that. We want that. And then this. Zips. There was other ones we had on there. That's really cool.

Once upon a time with the spring tour, the wish list was like each spot we go to, we have like an alum. Like with Iowa, we take you. Iowa did a heartbeat. Yeah. It would be really fun. You can even take me to Michigan State because I know the Special Team's coordinator. He's my guy. I don't want to go to Michigan State.

I know, but you could like big brother them so bad. Just walk around. Yeah. That's a place they'll, I think they'll actually rally on me, you know? I mean, it'd be good content. It would be good content. Is that one? Will the cover play like what we're going to get?

Yeah, but that'll happen. It's a wish list. So that's, that's a going to happen thing because it's already happened. The wish, the zips trip to me. Like if I hit the lottery, I only play the lottery when it's over a billion, I'll get the jet. If you guys ever won a fanny pack? Kind of when I'm seeing your fit today, I'm messing with what you're wearing. Well, the fan.

PANI pack has been so great for me because I was on a scooter for a while, right? And like I was non-weight-bearing for two weeks. I was in a cast. And so I was like, I couldn't fit stuff in my pockets because she's got on the scooter, like things fall out of your pocket. So, Claire got me this. And I haven't taken it off for eight weeks now. I love this Fannie Pack.

It's got all everything I need. I got headphones, my wallet, candy, and my car keys. It's so convenient. It looks convenient. It's been very fun. Is it comfortable? I don't even notice it. What the?

That's what you need right there. Oh. I looked into like, like, different, like, multicolored fanny packs. And Clark, she goes, absolutely not. You're going to wear the most easygoing fanny pack because you're wearing a fanny pack. I was like, yes, man. Just keep it simple. Keep it simple.

Have you thought about going the strap? No. Around the hips. Look, I'm just a Midwest kid from Iowa. I don't need to be doing that type of stuff. Fair enough. What type of stuff? I don't need to be doing cross straps.

That's just that. I don't think that's, that's not good for me. I don't think, I don't think I'll, I don't think I'll fit that. If you could describe what you're talking about one word, what would it be? Um, Riz. I'm not really a Riz guy. I'm just going to be me as much as I'm, just let me be George.

Just let me be George. So as I sit here wearing a fanny pack and a tie-dye, grappled hat shirt. Yeah, very Midwest. California has changed me. That's okay. That's a hell of a sense. Is there anything in the off season that you had in the works that now is no longer in

the works? And that makes you sad because. is your Achilles? The big one was me and Claire were going to go to Milan for the Olympics for like a week. I didn't go to a bunch. Like we had a whole thing planned out. And then I somehow ended up going to watch USA versus Sweden and hockey because I was in Germany. And it was a 45 minute flight.

So I went up for a game and I came back. And I'm really happy I went to experience that. How cool was that? It was amazing. I mean, just watching the Olympics is really cool. I mean, I had a great experience. Watching hockey is like my, it's my favorite sport to watch live. I think.

I don't really watch a lot of football live besides like sitting there playing in it. So like watching hockey live and just the cool thing about the Olympics is like everybody's so good. It's all-star teams. And I'm pretty sure like the USA, their whole team is NHL players. Sweden I think was all NHL players. So just like the level of play is insane. So fast. Like their fourth like their fourth string guys, whatever the fourth shift.

Like those are all starters or like second shift guys on other teams. God. Should football? Dude, this is sort of. distracting for me. Yeah, it can be tough at times. It can be definitely tough at times. Sherm's off of it now.

That's okay, Shirm go. He's done. Shirm, we're going to ask. Do you have any... Football be an Olympic sport. No. Yeah, I don't think so. It would be so unfair.

Like flag football I can see, but like football football? No, like, what, what are you going to do versus Trent Williams or like the Bosa Bros on the edge? Yeah, that's a, that's a stat pattern for America. We flirted with the idea. Let us know what you think about this.

Instead of like four nations. it's four regions. That, I feel like I saw you guys talked about this at one point and I thought that was a really good, because someone brought that up, they should do up for the Pro Bowl. And like you did like,

whether it's where you're from or where your team's from and you break it up that way, I think that could be really entertaining. I think it'd be awesome where you're from. I was going to say, you get where you're from the way guys argue

is Texas is the best state with football, Louisiana, California, Florida, Arizona. Midwest is pretty heavy. Midwest, everybody's got pride when they start arguing about it in the locker room. Yeah. I feel like where you're from,

I think that would be really fun, like a four regions tournament. I always love this and the guys argue about like, do my high school, dominate your high school? I'm like, what are we talking about? Sick.

Yeah. Awesome, dude, congratulations. Yeah. Those 2006. You would show us falcons though. That was pretty nice.

I was on a very okay team. So you eat out whooped. That's probably why you were like, yeah. That's really like sick, man. I had a five-star running back who had like 30 touchdowns and like eight, nine games.

I had one of those guys. but like besides that i was like i mean i think we won 10 games both like my junior my senior year we didn't win state like i mean unless you're one of those like prodigy schools like like bosa went to like does any high school really stand a chance there's like what 2006 catch a god ice falcons academy we practiced at i mg one time back in 2019 that was cool we did like an east coast trip we stayed down there for a week very cool facilities i can't believe that's a high school and it's nuts man it's insane yeah i trained there for the combine it was on yeah it was unbelievable that's so stayed right there, right in the apartments.

We do a lot of... I'm staring at you, but I'm just thinking about four regions. Probably the southeast. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, southeast. Yeah, probably the southeast regions. I think northeast. Northeast is good, too.

I'm going to go to southeast, though. What, New Jersey, Virginia? Yeah, just something about them, Gritty, Ohio, boys. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania goes hard. Wait, so is Ohio Northeast or is it Midwest? Ohio's Midwest. That's what of my favorite.

Oh, yeah. If we're doing four regions, then you've got to kind of, is no Midwest. You'd have to, you'd have to, you'd have to give the Midwest to the Northwest because there ain't shit going on up there. That'd be crazy. I mean like, yeah. Yeah, if Ohio, if Ohio's in the Midwest,

and I think the Midwest is sneaky. I'm not saying that they win it. I just think that they would surprise people. Yeah, I have, I have no idea. The Southeast would just, they would obviously have the talent, but are they going to get out over their skis because they're so arrogant and confident. Can we play the game in December in Iowa?

Exactly. Did you guys see that yesterday? USC was playing Northwestern in baseball and it was a blizzard No way Yeah they posted a clip of it I was like Welcome to the Big Ten boys

No doubt I'm sure USC still won But But it was cool to watch I wish the West Coast still whipped our ass It was cool to watch Yeah look at that It's just a blizzard

Pack stands huh Yeah I'm not going to a baseball game in snow No doubt Got you go to a baseball game in Baton Rouge man LSU baseball so much fun One of the things I'm looking forward to When I do retire is

I want to go to all like I'll do like primetime game at like all the best stadiums. Oh, yeah. I'm really looking forward to that. I think somebody asked that question, actually. Sorry. I mean, did I hit your bad foot?

Yeah, it's okay. Sorry, Claire. Yeah. Fuck. It says, has George started thinking about life post-NFL career? We're going to broadcasting, coaching, et cetera. Thanks, boys. That's from Matt and the last name I can't pronounce.

Zerito. Azarito. As a Rito. But things you want to do after football. Primetime games. I think like just like experience fall for the first time in my life. I think it would be, that'd be cool.

Have a real spookover. Yeah, it just, that sounds like a great time. Like, just experiencing fall. Like going on a vacation in August, sounds really cool.

Yeah. The first year you're done playing when you wake up August 21st and it's like nine. You're like, I know there's boys out there dying right now. So much anxiety. It's the best feeling in the world. I think, yeah,

just like experienced fall. That'd be cool. Um, I think we're going to have several opportunities. So like, I'm just going to see what kind of comes my way. and I'll just roll with it. I love that.

They rolled on with the boys. I love the boys. And I said it more to you for the boys for life. I literally said that earlier. That's binding. Yeah, it is. It is binding. Unless my wife says something,

then it's not. Prime time stadium throughout the season? There's something that, you know. Yeah. There's some fun things that we could do. What if we just got like, we got like a John Madden-style bus and then we took it on the road for 12 weeks?

And went to every single Applebee's in the States and just got hammered there? We did that. We did it on Friday. and go to the game on Saturday. Yeah. And just at the end of the year, we put on our list of our favorite Applebee's.

That'd be sick. Kind of got something, boys. We're giving Applebee's a lot of free showers. All right. Call it Chili's then. Yeah, but no free showers. Call it, Little Caesars. Little Caesars.

Don't get out of it. I'm sorry. Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza. Pizza, pizza, pizza. How was the, how have you enjoyed the podcast with the Wi-Fi? Oh, it was really fun. It was cool, too, because we started off, We like we literally started at the American Century Classic, the golf tournament in Lake Tahoe.

We did our first like three episodes there. And literally I think like Claire, because she's never podcasted before, she figured it out very quickly and like kind of became her own like she didn't have to lean on me at all. Like maybe the first episode like she kind of looked to me for a little bit of help. But after that she crushed it the whole way and it was just really fun. And it was cool too. Like we got to invite some of our friends on like the Forrestbergs came on. The juices came on. McCaffrey came on.

But anyway, other people like, um, Like John Party was one of our last episodes, and that was hilarious, him and his wife. Like that was so much fun. He was running around his living room, pretending he was a quarterback, like on camera. So he's like 20 feet off the camera, just going, hot, hot, hike, like just throwing a fake football. Like he was hilarious. But I got to meet guys like, do I got to interview Kevin Garnett, like, and Charles Barkley. That was sick.

KG, oh, people who have great setups. Kevin Garnett's setup is so sick. For gaming? He has, we're like, so he does. like I think he has his own podcast. And so he has like a super cool, like his camera system is so nice. Like he's 4K, 8K for all I know. And then like he pan the camera and he has just like a boys lounge that has like,

it has a basketball hoop in it. That's like half of like a three point line in it. So like they'd shoot free throws in there. And then it's got huge couches, pool table. Like he just got an ultimate like bro lair. And I'm like, I want that someday. That's awesome. That's what I want something.

But yeah, all they guess I had a great time. Like I got to talk to the Miz about wrestling and like he kind of pulled the curtain back about certain things too, which I always love seeing that stuff because I have a respect for wrestling because I don't know how those guys do it for 52 weeks a year. I literally can't even imagine. That sounds insane. Is that something you would do? Wrestling? Um, if I feel really healthy when I'm done, sure, but like, I've seen how those people, like how wrestlers walk after a match. I'm like, that. I don't know if I want to do that. Yeah, you want like, cameos. You want spots. But I've seen videos of like John Sino, more kind of like getting out of a car and everything else.

So he put his body through? Dude. I'm telling you, like, a lot of those guys had 52 weeks a year for like 10 years. And like, you're getting chairs. You're landing off a, like, you're got at top of a ladder falling through another ladder. Like, you can't fake that stuff. Like, that's just, you're going from the top rope to the announcing table 10 feet away and it's 10 feet lower. Like, come on.

That's crazy. Yeah. I just love, I love being a fan of it. And I don't ever want to like, I don't want wrestling fans ever not like me because I'm not good enough to be a wrestler. I've also been in a wrestling ring like three times in my life. So I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. So like if I ever did that, I would buy a ring and I would spend like a good amount of time in it before I ever tried.

It would be another career. It would be. You'd want to put into it like. Oh, hell yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I want to do it. I wouldn't be great at it. So like, I can't wait to ask. And you respect it enough.

Oh, dude. I'm not just going to pretend like, yeah, I'm a good athlete. I played in the NFL. I'm going to be good at wrestling. Like that is not how it is. Like the intricacies and like what they do, they're very talented people. It's awesome. I would like to get on a mic, though.

I think that'd be fun. You ever seen, like, there's highlights of, like, WWE where, like, who was it? Like, one of the best ones I saw is, like, the really, like, the top guys, like, who are really got on a microphone. So, like, John Cena is, like, one of the best ever on a microphone. And this was probably, like, 10 years ago, the Rock came back. And not talking shit about you, Rock, you're fantastic. Don't hurt me.

But, like, he came back and he hadn't been on WW for a while. And, like, he had, like, part of the promo. on his arm written because he wanted to remember it and johnsina roasted him for doing it like called him out for it put him up in front of like everybody was on a there's like on like a friday night smack down rosed him and i'm just like there are certain guys out there that when they have the microphone in their hands they can they can make the crowd do anything they want to do and like that just is always so impressive to me yeah that's awesome just could take complete control over it so that'd be cool yeah it's wild because the rock was phenomenal on the mic back in his hey yeah but when you

When you're off of it for five plus years, scary. Especially when you're that famous and everybody knows who you are. They expect greatness from you. They're expecting you to be right back where you left off. Yeah. Which is this, that's crazy. Speaking of, I get to go to WrestleMania next month too.

It's actually, it times up perfectly. WrestleMania is in Vegas. And then the following Monday is the first day of OTA. So I get a flight of Vegas and then just bounce right back up to San Jose for OTAs. It's not like I'm practicing or doing anything. I'm just rehabbing for four hours a day. Money.

Easy. Can't wait. I can't wait to go. Have you, I mean, you guys obviously spent a lot of time in Vegas. Have you golf, I mean, you're not really a golfer. I don't golf at all. Zero percent. I haven't even looked at a golf course in Vegas.

That's fair. Inside most times. Never mind then. I don't share my golf dreams with you. Tell you what, though, you should come to Vegas. We could rip packs. You can rip packs. At the black jack table?

Sure. Absolutely. You win $10,000? Rip a pack. Exactly. Then buy a $10,000 pack. that'd be cool and then we just get a ditto

and then we get fucked we have to go back and then we lose all of it win it back somehow look the last time we things were spoken to existence on this bus I tore and Achilles

so let's just talk good things in existence we're going a billion dollars we're going to bankrupt Las Vegas and buy all the Pokemon cards that would be so sick do you have a favorite hotel in Vegas

Red Rock all right like to stay there for everything yeah Red Rock's awesome I stayed at Caesars this past trip as well their their suites are unbelievable.

I'm pretty sure they just read them. They're sick. Yeah, they're incredible. But like Red Rock, you cannot beat the service. Like I remember I was, that's cool. Getting on the elevator, I called when I was like, hey, I left my key. Can you meet me by my room? And they're like, oh, right away.

I went up the, I was in the elevator. The elevator was closing. I said, okay, bye, hung up. Got to the 20th floor, walked out. He was already there with a key in his hand. Was he sweating? No. That's so sick.

They have never seen him out of breath in my entire life. Just like, the way Red Rock treats people is incredible. that's cool. You play enough there and all that. Yeah, it's off a trip. It's like 20. If you like to go off, it's probably where you want to stay.

I got you. I always have trouble with Caesar's Palace just because I call it Little Caesars. Yeah. And then it never shows up on my map. I'm like, okay, I'm going to go back to Little Caesar's Palace. I'm like, nah.

That's a weird, they'll tend you a weird spot there probably. Probably. Yeah, Cesar's, dude, their suites are crazy. It's super cool. Yeah. Which hotel have you seen has the best suites?

Probably Seasers. Oh, really? Sears was like over 6,000 square feet. We had one. and one. Super cool. Thursday night, it was like Dana, his crew,

Kid Rock, his crew. And they were like playing music. And like Kid Rock singing a bunch of people are just like singing. It was awesome. But I had a balcony. You walk over there overlooks the strip. You see like the Parasapel Tower.

It was awesome. And the one I stayed in had like its own like spa room, had its own pool, had a movie theater room. Yeah. Like the kid had an aquarium in the room. Jesus. And a pool table. Like you walked in there.

You're like, oh, this is insane. It's like borderline intimidating. because I know, like, I have to go play now, and I'm kind of scared. Yeah. And they're like, you see all this you get? There's a reason why we can afford it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come help us afford it.

Bink their ass, though. I had, uh, my first time ever in Vegas was my rookie year of OTAs. And me and Trent Taylor, there was a $36 coupon on Southwest to go to Vegas one way from San Jose. Rather than pretty sure it was $36 there and back. It was like some special they were doing for Memorial Day weekend. And so I go down. My wife call me. My wife's calling me.

I'm going to answer this so you can't get me ignoring my wife's phone call. Hey, Claire, how are you? I'm on busing right now. I answered it so they couldn't say ignored your call on camera. Tell Claire we miss her, we love her. Will, will misses and loves you. Taylor said nothing. I also miss and love you.

And then the back of the bus says that you're fantastic. What the fuck? And then Taylor says, you think that'll be on camera. And then Will apologized for Terry my Achilles. She said apologies. Honestly, that's nice. That's all.

She left it at that. Tell her we're doing a make right. Oh, but they are doing a make right. They're going to, they're coming to Tideon you, and they're going to emcee the practice day, which is one of our goals. All right, cool. I know. I'll be done a little bit, okay?

I see ya. Love you too. Nice. Smooth conversation, George. I need an ice towel around my neck. It's stressful. $36. $36.

Coupon in Southwest. All right. So, like, I had nothing. I knew nothing about. Vegas and so me and Trent Taylor I'm like hey because I was like I knew that there was a strip and I thought hotels were special like my dad helped me book a room we got like a one bedroom with two king beds in it and Trent stayed down there for the Memorial Day weekend had no plugs any club we waited in every single line went it everywhere paid for everything no tables no bottle

service nothing just oh this is what Vegas is that was kind of cool gambled I think I brought like $500 to gamble a little bit different than what you know you and the boys probably do and then like the next time I went was I had the 2018 season where in 2018 season where I was pro bowl all pro and Richard Sherman's like hey I'm going to show you what Vegas is really like and he got me a two bedroom penthouse at the cosmopolitan and I was like what the fuck is this place yeah it was insane and like he literally took up like he got like eight rooms for us and the boys um and so like we had a good group go down there but like I'm saying in a penthouse I'm like this is Moe by Richard.

Yeah, that's a... Sherm was very much for the boys. I love Sherm. And so that was really cool. And then, like, a couple years ago, have you guys been to Fountain Blue yet? Yeah. They let, um,

because there's like a brand opening, we had a preseason game in Las Vegas, like three years ago. And it was like their grand opening. And, um, they let Claire and Kristen Eustech have, like, the presidential suite, which is the entire top floor of the whole hotel.

No shit. It was the biggest thing I've ever, the biggest room I've ever seen. I like, It was a four or five bedroom suite with multiple living rooms, multiple kitchens, multiple bars, 360 view windows all the way around the entire thing. That is awesome. It was, I walked in there.

I was like, yeah, this is going to ruin Vegas for me because now this is what Claire is going to want to stay at. Right. Nothing against you, Claire. You're great. You're fantastic, Claire. Yeah, found blue super nice. They have the poodle club in there.

Do you have the poodle club? I have no idea. I don't think I did. I mean, I visited her, like, after her practice and I went back to the hotel. Yeah, they had a nice setup there. very nice very clean beautiful place Vegas is kind of made for like big events yeah absolutely

I am a believer that I think like the Super Bowl should basically just be in Vegas I'm all close out on that it's just easy absolutely everything's right there it's built it was fun yeah it was a blast it was fun it was great I just like the way the Vegas is set up it's made for

blockbuster events absolutely that's what's built for I thought when it was in Arizona that was fun Arizona was sick the only negative was if you're working Arizona like you'd have one event at like the Meteor row and then you'd have some company would have something reserved like a 30 minute drive away it was just so spread out yeah yeah yeah you'd be in Phoenix for all like the NFL stuff and if you're like scott'sdale yeah you're just you were just everywhere right I was in a car for most of that that trip which it's I mean I love like Arizona's sick dude that's how San Francisco was this year it was like the San Jose stuff like I didn't have

do that like I was in San Francisco and all my events were within 15 minutes of my hotel. Dude, we drove an hour and a half away to some, like, a Fandle thing. It was beautiful, but like the drive was nuts. Nuts. Wait, were you north, like over the Golden Gate Bridge or so? No.

Couldn't tell you. Did you cross the Golden Gate Bridge? No. Okay, so you probably went south then. So you went down to San Jose. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like that's why like I've lived in San Jose or, yeah. So I lived like the stadiums of Santa Clara.

I go to San Francisco less than three times a year. Gotcha. I go up to eat at my favorite restaurant up there as house of primary. I eat up there. I go to a Warriors game and like that's really about all I do. Did you go to San Francisco during the Super Bowl week? Yeah, but I stayed up there. Like I stayed in a hotel there.

Like it's a with no traffic. It's a 45 minute drive from where I live with traffic. Like if I go to a Warriors game and the game's at 5 o'clock, like it is a or 6 o'clock, it is an hour and a half drive up there. Whatever you do with parking, watch the game. Then it is an hour plus drive home. So it's just like a six hour ordeal to go to one basketball.

Yeah, yeah. I feel like everybody was raving about how great. San Francisco was. I thought they did a great job. And then people were combating and saying they just cleaned up the city for the week. I mean, look, I think San Francisco is like every other city. There's awesome parts of it and then there's pockets that you just shouldn't go. I think that's every major city.

Yeah. So like, I think they do it. I think they did a great job. I had a great time in San Francisco. I loved every second of it. We were on one corner for a minute. We just saw everybody. We saw that McQuarney brothers.

Who else we see? Brandon Marshall, he put us on game for 25 minutes. By the way, guy could still play. buddy he he should have just moved to he should have moved to office of I mean not tight end yeah office of tight end for sure boy look at McCaffrey rocking the for the dad or the oh yeah the boy's hat just incredible I think that might have been the same night that um is it Zendaya or Zendaya Zendaya Zendaya Zendaya Zendaya and Tom Holland were at the game because I think she's from Oakland and I spent the entire game doing this at Tom Holland and he finally

she saw me in the third quarter during a timeout and he looked at me and I was just doing this at him with Sam Darnold and he waved at us and laughed and I felt really good about myself. Kind of wish he did it back. I don't even care. He might have done it back but like about that time I was like infatuated and I was passed out. Yeah. Is that safe game? That is awesome. She like she saw it tapped and she was laughing and I was like I think I've peaked at this moment.

Spider-Man saw me. Right. Shooting webs at him. Is that the number one celebrity you've seen and how? interaction with you're like oh i've made it the tom holland one was crazy because like i love spider man him and batman are my two favorites of all time um so seeing that was insane actually i stood last year at bottle rock which is a concert in napa valley um over memorial day weekend which i'll be going this year again too because i love that place um oh my gosh who was the original peter parker to me

he was like standing six people away from me and i i didn't say hi to him but it was funny because So everybody at Bottle Rock is like very bright and colorful. Like I would not stand out in this shirt, right? And he's in like all black with a black hat with no logo on it and like dark sunglasses. Like he stood out like a sore thumb because everyone else is all colorful. I'm like not really doing the hiding thing very well, man. Like maybe blend in once in a while. Be super bright as well.

Yeah. Yeah. All black. That's all he was in. I'm like, dude, everybody else is just like bright yellow, bright green, all the colors. And he's in all black. I'm like, I know exactly who you are. Yeah.

So sick. Yeah, band of them. I think meeting, if I could meet, like, Vigo Mortensen from, because he's Aragon and Lord of the Rings, like, that'd be, I'd lose my mind. That one are Gandalf. That'd be peak. Ian McClellan. Is that how you pronounce it? Yeah, I would lose my mind if I met one of them.

Also, underrated movie that he's in Haldago. Oh, wow. I haven't seen Hidalgo. You haven't seen Lord of the Rings? No. Oh, okay. When I first came out, there was the one where the little guy was getting chased by black horses, and I got scared and left theater.

That's what your age was at? Yeah. What age was that? I was probably 12, maybe less. The, when it, when that movie come out, look up when that movie came out. 2001? Oh, it was 10. So when it came out, I didn't go to it in theaters, but when it came out on VHS, VHS, for those kids listening, that is a tape that the movies used to be on.

It wasn't all streamed. But then, I remember, it wasn't the horse. that scared me it was the octopus thing outside the door remember that outside the door that scared me and then when the watcher in the water the water yep and then there was the um the elf queen the girl when like she's like

went like full mystic power and like changed colors I think I cried God it was so scary oh that's a VHS yeah the horse thing for me though I couldn't handle that I had to get that I don't know I think it was like 20 minutes into the movie that they're the nash school I told my grandma was like we got to go Yeah, Lord of the Rings is, actually, I'm the godfather of Felix Forsberg, Phil Forsberg's and Aaron Forsberg's son.

And we're riding into the airport yesterday. And he loves cars right now. Like they said they've seen cars. Yeah, that scene, that killed me for a little bit. Ruined you? That was very scary for me. Because it just happens. And, but anyway, so he's addicted to cars.

And they've probably watched it like 200 times in the last three weeks, just always on. No sound. He doesn't even need sound or subtitles. just watches it because he likes lightning McQueen. Hell yeah. So sick. Just for the love of the game. Just for love of the game.

But like he were like, we're on the car trip and like he really wanted to watch cars. And so I just pulled up fellowship of the ring, extended cut. We got through 15 minutes before he got bored. But he stared at it. Didn't move for 15 minutes. I was so impressed. Not bad.

I was so impressed. So we got him started. That scene is actually hilarious. The twins. What, what is that? They flash him. Fun fact.

That's like the opening scene. okay gotcha yeah they throw their lights up so like they flash them get it yeah yeah yeah I get it they turn a dynico they kind of horse they're kind of horse is Jack

they flipped on to dynico so fast yeah please be 18 Kichiga Kchiga chick kick oh that's funny

dude last one I'll say about getting scared the movie Anaconda when a guy gets strangled and his cheek pops and he winks yeah I don't watch scary movies

that's you know you don't to this day absolutely not they stick with this i was i was traumatized as a young child yeah that's the part right there but i was traumatized as a young child uh the ring came out um yeah and so we're watching it when i was a kid i mean i could have been i was like first first or second great no no it was probably like fourth or fifth grade and um we brought it home i'm watching it with my sister and all of our cousins and we have hardwood floors and it gets i made her the scene like when like the And she first starts to come out of the well and it's like dripping water. And I was getting kind of scared. So like I put my feet down to stand up and someone had spilled up drink on the ground.

And so the whole water like mountain dew on it. My feet hit water as she's coming out of like the TV and the water's on the ground. I don't think I slept for like a month. I really don't. I just like can't do it. Yeah. Like that scene. I made it to that.

And I step on the hardwood and it's covered in water. Yeah. Not a good feeling. Yeah. It was real for you at that point. I pretty sure I was like 12 or 13 years old. I didn't belong in that movie. No doubt.

I didn't belong there. That was PG-13, too, which is crazy. Yeah. I don't need anything to do with that. Yeah. Yeah. So hard to pass. You guys, anything else you want to talk about?

Sure. That's a good final four. It's kind of nice. Is there still the thing is somebody gets a perfect bracket, Warren Buffett's paying the money? So, uh, can't say, a brand is giving away a billion dollars for a perfect back. Bill? Yeah.

B. If we do it here in, if we do it here in Tennessee, do we get taxed on it in Tennessee? Yeah. You know they come for the taxes, man. There's a price in their state income tax. Well, someone asked me about the lottery after we get off air. Yeah, we got you. Budlight question.

Um, wait, can it be a bud light? Yeah. If you want to be. I would do a lot of things for a bud light. light. A nice cold, crispy one right out of the fridge. Would you rather have a bud light out of the fridge or out of the cooler? Cooler. I think cooler. Cooler. Because that means you're out and about with the boys. A cooler BL. Oh. Sitting there.

Dial drunk. Dude, that was the move in middle school. I know the song. He's going to say the song name. Oh, really? I don't listen to a lot of rap, but then I spent three seasons with Charvarius Ward, who we, he went to the Colts. We call him Mooney.

But he was my locker buddy. And he listens to NBA young boy, and that is it. It's like every day in his locker. The nice thing, too, is he doesn't have like a loud speaker. He just listens to it on his phone out loud. And then like, after, I don't know, three weeks of OTAs and then four weeks in a training camp. I'm like, dude, who am I listening to? He goes, oh, it's that young boy, NBA.

No, that's my phone. Yeah, I can get to our text. Oh, yeah. Can you? You can unlock my phone? Let me see it real quick. Does it have to do? It's with one of your wedding guests.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm assuming I know who it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that one. That was always fun. Can I take something about my wedding? Yeah. Didn't like it.

Did your wife like it? Oh, she liked it. That's all that matters then. It's too much drama going on. So much drama. There shouldn't be drama at a wedding. So when Taylor and I got married the first time, it was so quick. It was so nice.

It was something I'll remember for the rest of my life. Where'd you do it? Some church over here. I couldn't even take you to it. And it was just me, her, and then the guy that was online. And we got married. We knew each other for a couple ones? No, it was 2016.

Oh, so what do you mean like online? Like, you know, we found a guy online to do the wedding because we like, it was like, April 18th. And there was one person. I think my mom was there. Sick. That was me and Claire's first wedding was just immediate family. We did at a jewelry store in Iowa City.

How cool is that? It's fantastic. It was one of my favorite times. My second wedding, though, we only had bridesmaids and groomsmen. So we only had 30 people at our wedding. That's dope. And it was at my house. Like the location we had, how beautiful it was.

Like, it was cool. Big sir? Big sir. Big sir is sick. And we had the whole resort. It was very cool. but then, you know, there's just too much drama going on. Those are probably my favorite three people that were there.

Mean old Camp in there. Is that my camp? Yeah. Yeah. Well, he, he, I get so many texts from my camp. Camp is funny. You are a different human being. Oh, yeah.

You look like you're yoked. In that one? Yeah. You look strong. I was back then. That boy, neck is crazy back then. Neck is crazy. Yeah.

Fuck. Let's get back to that. I know. I need to. You got to come work out at the barn. ever yeah that's a yeah that's a no that's a hard no we'm gonna get there i'm gonna get there but you work at like 10 a.m uh we've been doing yeah 930 945 is what we've been doing because i'm not running right now so i'm literally only doing upper body too that's all i'm doing

four days of upper body so it's great for you guys yeah just come in there got machines press and it's what did i do i had uh like a what is yeah i had like a bench machine With some pull downs and then single arm Dumbbell with some rows, some curls, some triceps, and I was out. Kind of money, huh? Kind of felt good about that. I mean, I can only do so much right now.

Chef cooks you a meal right after? Yeah, breakfast before and then lunch after. Your guest get food too? Yeah. When's your gaming window? Video games? I don't really game in the offseason. Really?

You just game in season? So here's the thing. In season, my gaming, because I like to detach myself from football, because I think about it way too much. And if you think about football too much, you get too much anxiety and then, like, it's hard to perform. And so I do Tuesday afternoons.

I do all my rehab in the morning, like massage, acupuncture, all that stuff, little workout. And I come home and I play video games from like 1230 to 3.30. I get a three hour, two and a half to three hour block then. And I don't play again until Saturday afternoon after walk through. And that's just home games. And I play for like two hours then.

And that's all I do in season. I used to play all the time. And now I do not. Flores doesn't really love video games. You would much rather us hang out. I feel that. TV shows. A lot of,

we watch a lot of TV shows. A lot. I don't even want to get, have you seen Entourage? Yeah. Okay, he needs to get on an entourage. I've seen it in the conversation.

Whoa, what's going on? I'm just, you should watch an hour guest. He says, I like TV shows. I like TV shows. I love TV shows.

I know, but you're on every single TV show, but he hasn't seen an entourage. He hasn't seen anto's, but he's always like, he gets a little, someone sends a nugget like, have you seen this show, you should watch this show.

And he watches it. And he watches it, And he's all on that show for a little bit more. Have you seen it back here? We're like, bro, you just need to take a step back from that and just watch on Toronto. So much fun. It's. I will say this.

I don't think I watched the last season. That's crazy. No, or the second to last season. So I remember I was, I watched it in college. And one of my buddies was like, that was his favorite show all time. He was just like, just watch this. You can skip this. Watch this.

And then I think I watched it up until the movie came out. So I went to the movie in theaters. I watched the movie. Yeah. I think I missed a couple episodes. Oh, I saw the movie on through it. Movie solid, yeah. Yeah.

It was good. It was fine. Yeah. The thing I love about the movie is they didn't try to do anything special. They just made it a longer episode. Try to spell entourage again. Watching you spell that was hilarious. What shows are you on right now?

My suggestion for the bus is which I doubt anybody has seen is called Rogue Heroes. It is, I don't know if you like World War II. I am blessed with my wife. She loves conspiracy World War II government TV shows. It's like, she goes, let's watch Saving Private Ryan. I'm like, absolutely. Great call, sweetie. But like rogue heroes, yeah, this one,

it's based on like, kind of a true story. It's in the UK. It's basically guys who are considered unfit to serve. Like they're all in like, like they're all arrested by their own military, like their military prison. And this guy's an idea like,

hey, how about you send us out? And also this is when the Nazis were trying to take over like Africa. And they get dropped off in the middle of the desert because like there's like a supply train across the coast. They get dropped in the middle of the desert. and they just sabotage Nazi bases for the entire three seasons. It's badass. Lots of violence, lots of fun explosions.

It's a little bit silly, too. The main character, though, he's awesome. Go back a little bit. This dude is a psychopath, and he just recites poetry, but he's a crazy person the entire time. And he's like, yeah, I'm a huge fan of the show. Very entertaining. I think they have two seasons out, maybe three.

But season one was electric. What platform? It's owned by MGM. So whatever the hell that's on. No idea. Maybe HBO. What was the show you were talking about the other week? No.

I loved it. His and hers. I read the book, too, because I liked the story so much. Paradise. No, you were talking about heated robberies. You said you're all about that. I got tricked into doing a heated rivalries TikTok when I was in Milan for the Olympics. He was telling me about it.

This is not the show you were telling me about? The hockey players? I've never seen that After the game Christian Because he got us tickets through one of his Sponsors And so like we had to do some stuff in the stands after the game And he um

Like people were just approaching us like fans at this point And they were trying to get him to do some TikTok And I'm sitting there on crutches in my boot And I'm talking to somebody else And he goes oh no George will you do your TikTok for you And I'm like All right I'll throw you a bone Christian Because you know you set this whole thing up

And then he gets me to say a quote from the show that one yeah that show and I guess it's a very shout out Hank's coffee shop that's in Franklin oh good coffee shop great coffee shop and yeah that I guess I said something that leads to whatever the show's about right yeah got tricked into that one I mean I probably would have done it regardless but I had no idea

Tim hit me up about this show she's like have you seen this I was like no so we should watch this I was like no you gotta tell me what it's about yeah I need a little I know what was about. What are we? I need a little bit of background. What's it about? Gay hockey players.

Okay. It's like five minutes of hockey and then just dudes fucking. I can't confirm that. I cannot confirm that. Oh, no, I did not watch it. Sorry. I cannot confirm that. I can't confirm that, but I think that's what he's telling the truth.

Yeah. It's like a thing going around right now. Yeah. No, it's very, very popular. I asked my mom's neighbor. My mom's neighbor in Santa Fe is gay. And I asked him about it because right when the TikTok came out. And he was like, love, love that show.

I'm like, all right. So you're going to love my TikTok. You're going to love what you see. Sick. I think the back of the bus, they should do TikToks like weekly, like the dancing ones. I think that'd be really funny. Did she let's start with the heat of the one trend? I think they should just do trendy TikToks.

Mitch can dance, lucky. He's a white boy with a little motion. Yeah. Jack and move. God forbid. I said about Rock for you this year. Play this one. Have people loved it.

Half people hated it. And I was like, what's wrong with that quote? Oh, so sick. Isn't it, football's a lot easier when the boys are having fun, specifically the quarterback.

Yeah. If his vibes are high, everybody's vibes are. No question about it. Yes. If they're not in a good mood, no matter what you do, the locker is just down.

Yep, yep, if the quarterback isn't a bad vibe, it's bad for everybody. This needs to be the boys in the back of the bus, right? Yeah,

I think you guys should do like, once a week do like a fun do a fun TikTok yeah that easy JP that's it yeah just do the basic ones

I think that'd be hilarious you guys do the cheerleader outfits too matching fits are we still recording I think so we are bro this is just old-fashioned podcast

yeah oh how long we've been going we were talking TV shows yeah I thought we were about to dive in this we ever had black rabbit you watch it

oh I had to not do Black Rabbit. Black Rabbit's a good one. Trying to think the other one. I'm really excited looking forward to, they're doing, you guys, Star Wars guys? Yeah.

They're doing the Darth Mall one. It's animated and it looks, like it looks like PG-13-ish. So it's actually going to have action and murder and I love Darth. And it's, the storyline too is he, it's like him surviving getting cut in half. And then he wants to destroy the empire.

So it's like he's the bad guy who's down going after the bad guys and it just seems so evil and dark and i'm so in i love darth want to get into star wars so bad i saw a really good question online it was um would you guys rather the grogoo and the mandoloreen and grogou or um the new avengers movie be a 10 out of 10 movie movie like best we of all time like which basically which like which would you rather have a 10 out of 10 movie? Yeah, like which one? Because, like, right now the rumors are like,

because what is it, the Mandalorian trailer came out and people were very disappointed in it. Like, like, like, oh. Yeah, people were disappointed in it. And then the Avengers stuff, like, to be honest,

like Marvel hasn't really done anything good for like since end game. They've had a couple good, you know, one-offs here and there. But a majority of it's been pretty brutal. So they're like, everyone's expectations are pretty low. So like, if you could pick one of those two movies

to be like one of the best movie you've ever seen, which one would you pick? Star Wars. I'm an Avengers guy I'm I've seen every besides like there's two movies like or two shows I'm not gonna watch but

I'm addicted to a Marvel I love I love Marvel but again they've had so many I mean I guess Star Wars has to but I feel like that feeling of Star Wars just being A plus hasn't been there for so long Rogue Heroes was fantastic not Rogue Heroes sorry Rogue 1

Yeah yeah That was such good movie for a loop day Did you watch Andor Andor TV show Fantastic Season two I finished season two I watched three episodes

and I'm like I'm just gonna watch Star Wars now because it goes straight into Rogue One like it's like 10 minutes later as I started Rogue 1 and then I ended up watching Rogue 1 A New Hope Empire Striets Back

and the Jedi returns all in the same day I watched like 12 hours of Star Wars What time do you wake up? Well I woke up actually like at 7 a.m. And I had like I was sick and so like I later had someone come and gave me an IV at like

8 a.m. So I started at 8 a.m. And I watched it until I went to bed at like 10 o'clock. It was, and clarity of the best days ever. 12 hours straight, couldn't eat. It was projectile vomiting, but I watched 12 straight hours of Star Wars. And it was so good. I feel like Star Wars, like, with the history they have, the entire franchise,

I feel like you can do more. You can do so much. You can do so. You can't the Avengers one. They're both, they're both great. I'm saying if I want an A-plus franchise out of either one, I see Star Wars. have so much more range. Well, I mean, you know, when you can't talk about range because Avengers and Marvel has

multiverses. And so like then it's unlimited range. You can do anything you want with any character from anything. Just wait till the day that DC and Marvel, they do an actual movie together. And you, you see Henry Cavill as Superman again. We took him for granted. I just want us to tell everybody that. He was so good.

So good. As Superman. Yeah, but Avengers has, it's more of like the same. it's more of like the same time frame. They do have like multi-un universes, but it's all within like the same scope or the same time that's happening. Whereas Star Wars are so much more,

you can go back and you throw in Palpatine anything, whether it's an ancestor, you can go so far back in the Star Wars lore to where you can put more quality things together. Yeah, I mean, what's the earliest thing is what? Captain America is like the earliest superhero right? Yeah, I mean, that's fair. The time range is bigger.

Do you watch Thrones? Yeah. I love giving Thrones until the last season. I've not watched the Seven Kingdoms thing yet. That's a great. That's an awesome show. I'll watch it. I really recommend.

I don't like waiting weekly, so I just want to be able to binge it. So I was just waiting. But like with Thrones, all the lineages that happen, all the houses, all the history. I feel like Star Wars is in the same stratosphere. Did Game of Thrones blow the last season? Yes. Yes. 100%.

Ruined it. Yeah. Have you seen this church? No. Always angry about it. It's really good. Is it? Yeah.

All, I'll give a shot. It's Booneys meets Star Wars. Talk was crushing it, so I'll give it a shot. I do love Jude Law, though. He's fantastic. Jude Law. He's in Black Rabbit. He is good. Taylor, give me a TV show. Shorzy. Oh, buddy. I have so much bulldog gear.

I love Shorzzy. I talk to some of their cast all the time on Instagram. Really? Yeah. Dude, it would be awesome. Dolo. He's on the bus. Yep. He was a professional. Yeah. I DM him and him and him. and him. I love Shorzie. You are, if there's one thing I could take from you and have, it would be your DMing abilities.

I can need a lot of people. Your ability to stay in contact with people is incredible. I'm, yeah, it's impressive. It is amazing. When you go to Kittlefest and your boys that you just met online, they're just hanging out. Hey, how did you mean, George? Xbox. More like the rarest fun things we've ever seen.

That was funny. I had to convince Claire to let me invite them. That was fun. But they were, they were a hoot, weren't they? They were awesome. I was trying to get the boys on this show for the longest time. and I finally got Jack on it and Jack was like, yeah, it's it.

I watched one of the seasons. You watched a couple episodes, right? No, I watch a full season of one of them. That's right, at my house. Because once before, Shorzzi. Letterkenny. Okay, so I watched Shorzie. Yeah, yeah, Letterkenny's solid.

This show, I just think, is so great. I'm on Game of Thrones at this very moment for the first time. I'm on Season 2. Oh, well, congratulations. Episode 1 or 2 right now. Does it make sense to you at all? So, weirdly enough, yes, Tayloron's like my spotter. Oh, Taylor's watched it before.

Taryn's watched it multiple times. So when I'm asking questions, because that was always the thing for me, like the first three or four episodes. It doesn't make any sense. So much going on. And now I'm just like, she was like, no,

this person's important that. Boramir. No, first off, when I saw Ned Stark, RIP, I couldn't believe it. Because I always knew Joffrey was a shit stick because of everyone talks about it long enough.

You just know. He gets worse. And when he, oh, buddy, he's one of the greatest villains. When his daughter talks him into, hey, just bend the knee or whatever,

say you were wrong. They'll have grace with you. And then he. Heads him. Beheads him. Yeah. That was crazy. And then,

who's the Targaryen? Denarius? Danarius. Is that her name? De Nairis. First of her and Jason Momoa, that relationship, I wanted to go forever.

The fact that he goes down, she walks into the flames because that bitch-ass witch, she saves her. And then she all of a sudden wants to put the boy in a vegetative state? Yep. That's crazy to me.

Yep. Crazy. Love that they burned her alive. So, yeah, I mean, this guy, who was his name, Rob? Yeah. He's a dog.

I'm a fan. of him. He just got dubbed King of the North on my storyline right now. King of the North. So I'm in, I'm in it right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm excited because I'm finally like, my brain's finally processing everything that's going on. No,

it's very fun. Star Wars is the thing I want to get into. I think the kids would really enjoy that. Yeah, there's a lot of good animated content with Star Wars that kids can watch. The Avengers thing, when you guys are breaking it all down, it's just, it's just there's so much of it. I don't know where to start. I watched the Iron Man. I watched the first Iron Man like

a week ago. They have a list up there that you can go by. I was so bought in until basically in game. I pulled that list. It was like 32 movies. I'm thinking, there's a lot. I really want to start this.

No, no, just watch it and really, I'm a big fan of release order because it makes more sense in my brain. Because if you go, if you go in numerical order, you're going to get some movies

that were made in like 20, and then the next movie is going to be made in like 2006. And it just, it's not going to level up. It's just weird. And it's fun too because it really became popular

with the end credit scenes. Yeah. And it made your mind wonder. Like, are they going to make this? Are they going to make that? Watching a release order, highly suggests that.

I mean, they don't really do anything bad. Two of the Thor movies are atrocious. But a majority of, I mean, they're hitting like 75%. They were batting like 900 up until like 2021.

Mm. All that money. Say what? Yeah. Yeah. You know, if you go back and watch it again, it's not as bad as you remember it being,

but it just should have been way better. That's how I. view it. Very weird casting. But when I saw Angelina in that, I was like, this movie's going to rock. No, her character has CTE the entire time. Yeah, what a. And yeah, and what's his face?

John Snow. Oh, yeah, John Snow is in it for seven minutes. You're like, oh, my God, John Snow. He's supposed to be this big character? Never happened. Really? Yeah, that was disappointing. Do you guys watch, was it Moon Night?

That was also a fun show. Wasn't great, but it was fun. I like that one with Oscar Isaac. I love Oscar Isaac. Yeah, he was seen the, I mean, it's old, but Sopranos? Yeah. Buddy. I watched, the end scene.

No, I lied. I've seen, I think I watched one season. Okay. It is a slower burn the entire time. That's like, for me to watch shows now, like, I don't really have a lot of time on my own to watch shows. And so I, Claire has to like it. And so I think that's too slow for her. Right.

That's why Shorzie. She actually likes Shorzy. So fast pace. It's awesome. 20 minute episodes. Six episodes of season. bang always it makes you want more because it'll come out you'll watch it they also pump them out quick that's why i like it like they did like three seasons in like 18 months i think jay this last season

they came out's the last season right i haven't started it yet i need to watch it i've watched two of the episodes and they were both so much fun a good one right now that i'm sorry i started watching paradise oh i'm what's that about the one that we had the cameo in oh for real yeah because you had the cameo people were bringing it to my attention like oh what a cameo because I knew that we did it, but I didn't know that Paradise was like a very popular show. And then when that started happening, I'm like, I'm asking the boys, no, we just signed to wear NIL rights. Did we?

Yeah. Yeah. I don't remember. But I was like, is this show popular? And they're like, oh, big time. And then everybody's like, all the, all the shows that I posted about there, like, you would like, you would really like paradise because it's only kind of that same page. Give me like a 20 second, like sell me on it right now.

Go. A elevator pitch. Go. I'm out. Yeah. I'm thinking of the best way to do. because it's an underground world. They're taking this population

that they all put together. There we go. That would survive basically the apocalypse or the, I don't know what happens to the world. It hasn't gotten to that point yet. But basically, everybody on Earth,

they go into this underground world in Colorado and they get, you know, these thousands of people and put them in this new world which, like lit up with lights and everything else, but nobody's went to the surface.

So I haven't, I don't know what's going on with the surface yet. So like, but it's like conspiracy to where, you know, spoiler alert. See, I can't.

So like, Do they, like, they're down there and like, are they just down there like as a test? Or is like, are they really? No, they're down there to re to relive this new world. That's interesting. And people get curious. So it's kind of like, it's kind of like silo. The spot that I'm in now, I haven't seen silo.

The spot that I'm in now, people are curious about what's going on on the surface, like if it's still livable. Because everybody down that's on the elite level is saying that there is no life like you can't live up there. But people are starting to get curious enough now to whether they're wanting to go up there and experiment and see if they can create a new life. Sounds like silo. It's like silo and Wally. And there's conspiracies that happen. that go on underneath in the ground where I don't want to give away spoilers. If you're watching Paradise,

because they're only on season two. Yeah, silos, you guys would enjoy silo. You would really enjoy silo. The world ends and everybody lives in these random silos that go like hundreds of floors down. And basically like the floor that you live on is basically like, you know, your value to society. Yeah, like your status. Yeah. You watch fallout?

Yeah. Love fallout. Yeah, in a way like that. Except they know that there's other silos, but they're not connected. but they can the silo has a video camera that shows what the outer world looks like and it's like desolate you know that type of stuff but the only rule is that if you say you want to leave the silo you have to leave the silo and then everyone watches you leave the silo and everybody that leave the silo dies.

That sounds like a fun show. It, but like the conspiracies, everything that's because of like one of the people on it, like there's conspiracy about like the outer world. It's like the video screens of it's a lie like all this crazy stuff. I didn't watch season two because everybody told me that. it was terrible, but season one is very fun. And Claire loved it too. It's one of those shows, too.

That's a cliffhanger, like every episode. And you're like, I gotta keep watching it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like a good cliffhanger episode. Paradise is like that. I do and I don't. Like when it's 11 o'clock at night and it's finishing up and I'm like, oh, my God, I got to get to sleep.

And you're like, okay, it's a 42 minute episodes. Do I go 42 minutes? Is that 11.30 now? I'll watch the first five minutes instead of midnight. That's what me and Claire do. Like, in season, like I spend most of my time watching. Like, I get home at six, six o'clock, seven o'clock. and we watch shows and like that 845 hits I'm like am I going to watch one more hour episode

and then I'm not in bed for 1030 or do I go to bed now right and get a full like nice episode always wins like 90% of the time right wins it usually depends on for me as if am I leaving on Friday for on a six hour flight so that's the case I'm going to bed right now but if it's a home game I'm staying up and watch that'd be so tough about playing on the west coast it's very weird yeah that sucks man and the flight's always longer on the way home you know what the prime time game's done early prime time game is done early which is really nice if you're just watching as a fan but playing like when you're in tennessee yeah you're flying just you're hour and a half two hours bro west go once a while you'll go hit a rams and it's like okay

we have four hours the prime time game on the west coast is the greatest because we play at 515 i'm home before 10 o'clock i feel like west coast or the west part of the country watching ball way better it's way better yeah because you're getting up 9 a.m ball starting and then ball ends at like what nine? Like you have good sleep. No, like 8.30. Yeah. East Coast prime time games. Insane. The fact that the fact that's a thing is terrible. Yeah, they got to change that up. It's time. I was, um, I had the opportunity to talk to some dude in the MLB and he said that their team, uh, like the team came to them, like the players and it was like, hey, we're tired

of waiting on the runway. We want you to get a playing for just the players. And so they, they did it. Players, game ends. They go on their own plan. It's the play. It's the players only with like the head trainer and like an equipment staff guy and a security guy just for like, in case something weird happened. And they like literally get off the buses again and the plan they take off. And they like saved almost an hour per travel session. That's awesome. Is that sick?

Yeah. I was like, wouldn't that be fun new than the NFL? Like don't have to wait for the equipment to get loaded? That's like one of the worst things about us is like, okay, we play, dude, we played in Buffalo Sunday night football. All right. So that game started at 8.15. Okay. Game ends.

we're on the airport at 1 o'clock and then we're sitting there for an hour plus waiting for it to get loaded and something happened with snow it's like we didn't take off until like 3.30 yeah and at that point it's like can you just and then because you're going back west it adds like an hour to your flight time

because of the wind and so then it's a six hour flight no the owner gets it because he rinse it out it's his it's his united flight and sure with questions like that you can just ask him on the mic yeah yeah I can hear you Can y'all build miles with y'all's team flights? No

The owner gets it because he rents it I mean I'll assume so I don't get it Like I don't ever check in or anything like that I just get a text it says your seat is 12A Oh you just have assigned seats Yeah we're lay downs Yeah we're laydowns With us it'd be like you just get on

I think they'd be like name tags on the Yeah that's what A lot of times it's like guys You're going to sit wherever Yeah yeah yeah It's like you sit initially in your seat To get your stuff down And then everybody moves

Yeah That's kind of how we do it The laydown move is so awesome I was ever watched it. Layman? I watched season one and then it just like the drama and like the, whenever there's oil is being talked about, sick. Like the off the oil field stuff is just too much drama.

I don't care about it. It's too silly. He's going to hate season two. That's why he's going to hate season two for a while, but it really gets it gets spicy there at the end, but he's right. It's right. Again, I don't have like, if I'm watching a show,

I want it to be, I wanted to be vetted and then I want it to be good. Yeah, you're not a guy to jump son first. You're not going to be the first guy. I mean, unless, like, I'm really like the Darth Mall show for Star Wars. I'm going to be the first guy to watch that because it's Darth Mall. And I don't care. It's Star Wars.

But, like, a lot of, like, Landman, like, I found Landman on TikTok. Like, everyone was posting videos about it. And then Claire watched, like, two episodes without me. And she goes, you got to watch this. And I was like, I'll watch it. And I enjoyed it. It was really fun. I love, was it Tommy?

It was the main actor. Billy Bob Thornton? Billy Bob Thornton. Billy Bob Thornton. but I like Billy Bob Thornton Yeah He's hard to beat But speaking of Tommy

Tom Hardy Was it Mobland Mobland? Mobland Fox, dude Great show I think I started that I started that

I needed to continue watching It was Bobland Yeah yeah The finale of the season one is unreal I think I started that I love Tom Hardy Do you guys ever see What's it called?

Legends taboo No It was a passion project By Tom Hardy It was on Hulu Like I am My rookie year in the NFL.

Yeah. He's like a rich British dude who disappeared for like 20 years or 10 years. He was in Africa learning like witch doctor shit. Oh shit. And he comes back because his dad owned his like family was rich. And he comes back and like basically fucks up like the British military back in like Civil War era. It's very fun. And he just kills a lot of people.

And he's having the vibe of that top hat like that is that's what I'm so excited for Piggy Blinders movie. I got to watch Piki Blenders, ma'am. I got clear to watch it. The subtitle thing, I can't understand without subtitles. That's okay. You get used to it, but yes. And I'll say this the first couple times I watched Piki Blinder's, I fell asleep.

Okay. So I had to really, because everybody talked about it so much that I wanted to fully buy in. That happened to me with Sons of Anarchy and I just kind of never freaked it back up. I happen to me with Breaking Bad. I feel bad about it. I got like three and a half seasons in. but I was in college when I was watching it and I was like I just don't I would rather be outside

Breaking bad I got probably the same amount of time in and it's like I didn't finish it I didn't finish it either and I feel bad Breaking back, Rachel Rachel look up I mean Peradice Gratheye McAfree did a peekie blinders fit for a game one time it was so sick How was his haircut?

He always he's always high and tight We had a peek you four combineders Is that it? Is that it? Is that it's fit? I don't know what that is Breaking Bad. What'd you Google? They had a special edition DVD collection where it came in a meth barrel. I always thought that was kind of collectible.

Yeah, collectible. Collectible. It's got to be worth like 20 Js now. I'll Google. You start to sniping things, rip packs, rip packs. Katan. Never played it. I have a lot of buddies who love it.

You never played it? No. David Bakhtiari put me on Katan. I think he tried to put me on it as well. We played, they bodied us. I've played. game probably a hundred times since then it's been like two months it is amazing so much fun katana is like you have like wood and grain wood grass stone brick yeah you guys have ever play sequence

have you had a game if you had a game where you expand to the oh yeah that was the newest edition we kind of just did so we had four we were playing with four people and it was like a little congested but it's like okay it's a new strategy has take place you to really like get your resources where you want to go that two-for-one the three-for-one's really going to play for you and then Quinn was like we should do the expansion and We did that. It's kind of free-for-all. It really comes down to like, what's the dice?

It's getting to get rolled. And it's, it is fun, dude. That is a great game. We hit some, uh, clue and code names. I saw,

I saw the code names. Have you guys played sequence? Yeah. Love sequence. I've spent hours playing sequence. Show me sequence. I don't know if I played that. It's like bingo with a part.

It's like bingo with cards. Oh, you know what I did play. So I wasn't a fan. I haven't played sequence. You got body, didn't you. I played my children.

My wife. Caught hands. My wife is so good at this game. My overall record, so like anytime like we go on the buy week, we'll bring this and we'll probably play it 20 times. My usual record versus her is like five and 15. But hold on. There's not a whole lot of strategy in that game. I don't know how to look at the draw.

I mean, I would say 75% luck, 25% mild strategy. Have you played fishbowl? Yeah, love fish. That game is awesome from a group like game night type of vibe. Fishbowl is fantastic. Another Bakhtiari classic. Fishbowl? I played it at his house.

Yeah, he, dude, that guy loves his games. Yeah, he likes interacting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's also, he's a big, he's an entertainer. He does that well. Like, he's a host. He's good in front of the crowd. He knows what he's doing.

And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city,

in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you.
