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

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

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

Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano. It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, Point Game, the playoffs. We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season.

And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was crying. You just understood. That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game 7, Marquis keep coming to you. He's like, you know, I love you, dog. You know, it's all love.

This was just playoffs. This was just basketball. So listen to Point Game on the I Heart Radio. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I never thought that Dickdown in Dallas would do what it's done. You know, like today I saw on the global viral of Spotify. The song's number one right now. Really?

Which is insane. Dude, we popped your shit on this podcast. And obviously, I never heard of it. And it's like, it's hilarious. Welcome to Bustin with the Boys. The Boys, as Will's likes to say, as we all like to say, episode 80. we almost just dropped an F-bomb right after I just said I don't want to drop any more F-bomb.

Did you see that? I said, but I don't want to say it. You know what I'm saying? I asked for a hot, I asked for a black coffee. I really wanted an ice because I don't know what it is about my sensors. They don't do well with heat.

Sometimes I just go into food when it's just super hot and I'll burn my roof from my mouth. I'll be in a meeting with the suits. And they'll be like telling me about, you know, this and the other way. Well, your future is looking pretty bright. if you just keep doing X, Y, and Z, and I'll be like eating some patty and I'll burn the...

Almost at the S word. I'll burn the top of my mouth through that. So, thank you for the black coffee boys. I'm learning, though. I'm 29, turning 30 in 2021, and it's going to be special. Bust with the boys, you guys, honestly, every single week, I just get so excited. Monday comes out, and you see the chatter on the busting accounts.

Alex does a great job of doing that, getting everybody hyped up for everything. And it's crazy how much the ebbs and flow. go of when we win and when we lose. Because when we win, it's Hyped Train City, right? Tennessee Titans, 2020, 2020, 2021 Super Bowl champs. That's a bit of a mouthful. So she said, 2021, 2021, 2020, Super Bowl champs.

And then you go and you play a game like the Green Bay Packers game. And it's like, oh, we're the worst team that's ever lived in the history of living of teams. People that have pulses, they now no longer have pulses, which means they're dead. And the Titans should kill themselves. that's the kind of, that's the kind of fluctuation that we kind of deal with on a, on a week to week basis here on Buston the Boys. And it kind of goes with the podcast, right? But Bus with the Boys is a separate entity from the Tennessee Titans.

We're not worth, you know, $700 million yet, but we're on our way. We'll start in the low thousands for now, but we're on our way, for sure. And I think you guys think that, you know, we're just not going to do podcasts when we lose. But guess what? It's Monday. Wait, it's Tuesday at three, two days after we got. absolutely donkeyed by Aaron Rogers and the Green Bay Packers. And it happens.

It's part of sports. And you guys can live and die on your swords of lies of you got your Tennessee Titans fat head. Remember Javon cursed. Remember McNair. Oh, Eddie George would have never been held for 10 rushes for 98 years. Just let's, let's just bag it. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to start a new phrase in 2021.

And I want you to follow me along. because it's going to be very vital for every single one of you out there. And it's simple. Okay. That's all we're doing. Right? And you might say, what do you say there? Okay.

That's what I'm saying. Now I'm going to slow it down. Okay. That's all we're going to say. Right now we're going to do role playing. Let's see. Alex, just say, hey, the Tennessee Titans suck. You guys are never going to be worth anything.

Hey, the Tennessee Titans suck. You guys are never going to be worth anything. Okay. See? And now I don't have to argue with Alex. because it doesn't matter. And I think we've learned in 2020 that we just kind of give too many opinions, right?

We fucking... Oh, no! I did it. I said an F word. How far am I into this podcast? Not. Oh, 417, dude. And I admit an F-bomb.

Alex told me I suck. I could tell him why I don't suck, but Alex doesn't care about my opinion. He only cares about his opinion. So guess what? Okay. Now, okay. Hey, Taylor.

I hate the way you dress. Your tattoos are stupid. Your kids are ugly. Okay. Like it works on every single face. Hey, did you know that? Joe Biden is a, is, uh, it helps China and he gives information to China. And he's an informant.

Okay. Right. Hey, you know, I actually don't believe in, uh, man, just male and female. I want to be a unicorn. Okay. Like, well, you know, we need to do for anything. It doesn't matter what side you believe in or what this. The Titans suck.

Guess what next week? Aaron Rogers is going to suck because he's just not as good as Tom Brady or whatever. And that's what we just got to deal with you. We got to figure out the of life, right? Okay. So what we're going to do from now on. We're going to deal with. Okay.

We're going to maybe in 2021. We're going to take a nice little step back. We're going to sit down and we're going to sit in front of our keyboard. And I hope Garrett learns this lesson. We're going to sit in front of our keyboard. And we're going to think, well, maybe I shouldn't tweet that because maybe my opinion really doesn't matter as much as I think it does. What a Dorrie Jackson?

Well, maybe I'm not going to tweet that out because I've never played corner before, right? Maybe I should tell this USC cornerback that was draft 18 overall. He's tried, but I've never played corner at USC. So maybe I shouldn't say anything at this moment. Now, this is my podcast, and I will, people only want to talk when I asked them to. So if someone's rubbing their mic right now in front of me, they need to. They need to. Adori, Adori is, I probably shouldn't say that.

And what do we have said about that? Garrett? Okay. See, boom. Yes. Dude, it's such a simple reference. And I think social media is so beautiful, right? Like, literally, everyone here and behind the cameras and sitting in the chair.

We all have jobs because we get to expose our stupid opinions. And we want you to go into your cerebellum, right? Get in there, dude. Mess. Almost did it again. Messed around in your cerebellum, your brain, your emotion category and tell you X, Y, and Z. We can do that. Why?

Because I have a blue check. I can do whatever I want. Right? Once you get the blue check that a robot has told me I'm worth it and that is okay for me to do. But if you don't got, if you got, let's say you got 13 followers. If you're following 6,000 and you have 13 followers, writings in the wall, right? you probably,

that should probably be most of your tweets. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Let's just fucking, just spend it a hole, damn it. Oh, there was another one.

Spend your day, dude. Spend your day. I want you guys to tag me. All right? It's, okay. Just if there's something ridiculous,

even if it's not ridiculous, sky's blue. Okay. Like, doesn't matter, right? You can go anyway. Your, Will,

your dog's ugly, right? Fact. Okay. That's fine. It's what Will should have said the whole thing. And then the whole thing was over.

You know, the beautiful personality, right? Ain't nobody painted personalities before, if you know what I'm saying. We can't bring that back up again. You're right, dude. You're so right. Let's see. But I'm glad I got that off my chest a little bit, dude. It was needed.

And there's so many beautiful things about social media because you can do and say, like, when I was 10, there was a social media. And now there's, now I do so much social media. And it's like, when I first got in the NFL, you would get almost laughed at for doing media. Like you get in trouble. You get fined as an offensive alignment to go to media. I love doing media. And I still tell the boys, oh, I hate doing media.

I love doing media. I love talking to people. I love having my personality out there. I love doing those things. And you should too. And that's beautiful. And that's all right. And my opinion, right?

You're listening to mine. And you think, well, that's stupid. Like everything you're saying, Taylor. And now all I have to say that is, okay. Right? Because my shit doesn't matter either. It doesn't. But social media is beautiful because, like,

just what? Was it last week or the week before, Will Compton goes viral, right? Trending on Twitter. This is because of you guys. This is because of the bust one of the boys faithful, and Tennessee is definitely stolen our identity on their social media platforms. So also the Tennessee Times faithful, which is kind of one and the same, but still two different entities, right?

See how we went back to that? One, two, one two, one. And the United States was trending. I think it was like, what was it? 152,000 tweets. Now, not all of them were about Will Compton and his dope A play. on the goal line against the Detroit Lions. But is it a coincidence that it happened right after that?

No, I don't think so. I don't think it is at all. The boy is trending, was trending. He's not trending anymore. Hits the ball. Now, DeQuan Jones is going to say that he knocked the ball at first. Because it's my platform and I can see whatever I want. You didn't, Dequan, right?

Now we'll did. Now you can just say, okay, and we can move on, right? That's the name of this episode now. Okay. That's what's going to be. Figure out, Josh, your goal of this entire week is to figure out how to spell. Okay. Because it's not O and K, right?

It's like, okay, you know. Anyway, Will did amazing. He came in on goal line, guy gets three snaps a game, comes in and does something beautiful like that. I love it, dude. The boy, Will Compton deserves more success than all of you, except for me. That's all I'm going to say, right? And you guys can put that into your cerebellums, once again,

about the brain and how that whole thing works. But he trended nationwide, dude. And, but the boy wasn't done after that, right? Like, he sits there. He trends for doing something. something hype. He trends for doing something amazing. And then, and then what happens? Will, because he's so original. And let, let me just say, because I, I did listen to Will's solo pod by himself, which really wasn't a solo pod because it was like three minutes of him doing a solo pod.

And then Corey came on. And then he was talking to, and then he was talking to, and then he finished on it. If you don't know what I'm talking about episode 79, Will Compton did a phenomenal job. But he didn't do a solo pop. 70, it was 78? Excuse me. 78. Oh, that's right. Because our best of was 79, which is also incredible pot. I listened to that. those two pods are probably the most I've listened to our pods because I spend all day, every day with myself. I don't need to hear myself ramble on more than I already do. But Will goes viral again, right?

He does it again. And you think he made a great play. What's he got next? What's the next big, big thing that Will's going to do, right? Well, he did it a... Dude, he went to the barber shop and said, give me, have you seen Tropic Thunder? And the guy goes, well, I think I had before.

He goes, well, there's a side plan. in the movie Tripit Thunder, where Ben Stiller's character plays a fully disabled individual and decides to go, it's because the movie's called Simple Jack. Can you go to that for me, sir? And the guy looks at him and goes, are you, are you sure you want this?

And Will looks this man dead in the eyes. I'm assuming this is how one. I wasn't there for the conversation. I'm assuming he just looked him and go, absolutely, that's what I want. And the guy, he went, okay. And then it is went and they did the barbershop. Dude, they did whatever that was at the barbershop.

Will comes him. Will calls me the day before he, it becomes a viral sensation on every single sports platform. He calls me. And I wish, if you're listening to the audio, you got ready for the YouTube because I'm going to show you the face he gave me right now. So it's like, bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo bo boom. Right? That's me coming into the thing. And I'm like, hey, dude. And I got, oh, what the, what happened?

Like this is my head, right? In my mind, you're like the commercial, the commercial with the, it's like the guys training the parents out to say blue hair or whatever you've seen that commercial. We all see it. That was me. Yeah, we all see it. We all see it. And in my head, I'm like, okay, maybe he's in the middle of the haircut, right? Like, I'm thinking like, okay, maybe he's not fully done yet.

He's Barbara needed to take a break. And he goes, he just looks at me like this. Oh, dude. He looks at me like, so? He goes, so, dude, what do you think? And I go, about what do we? Like, what do we? Like, you took a break to call me? You took a break in the middle of your haircut to call me, dude?

And I didn't have the hard. I didn't have a heart to say anything. I'm like, dude, hell yeah, bro. It looks amazing. You look so good. I'm like, yeah, dude, it's killer. He goes, picky blinders, right?

I'm a Carol Shelby. He does, he, like, he's explaining to me now. He told me to watch the show. He's obsessed with the show, peekie blinders, and it calls me. And it's like, if you have an idea for something, for anybody who decides to do a haircut like this again, if you have an idea,

like, that's okay to take the idea, make it your own. The man got, the exact haircut and then got the suit and changed his name, last name. So he's the bitch. Like, changed his name to William Shelby in the back in the jacket.

And so he's not as a fictional characters, brother. And I didn't think anything would happen of it, dude. I did not think anything when, oh, I'm actually crying. And the cigarettes not even lit in the picture, dude. Oh, we're all learning lessons. That's the thing, dude.

That's the best thing about this podcast is is we're not just having a great time. We're not just doing it up and having just having our smiles happen, right? If it's Monday and you're frown, we're turning it upside down as the old expression goes, we're smiling and we're learning from people's situations. We're not going to call it a mistake because I think the entire look put together with the hat on, which just don't get the haircut, right? Just put the hat on like, you can't even see it.

Looks great. I think you should have lit the cigarette to a couple puffs. Then there better not be a filter in that cigarette either because you know they'd have it back then. But I'll tell you what, dude. So I get off the phone with it and I'm like, Hey, man, it looks great. You look phenomenal. Yeah, I can't wait to see what the boys think.

Did not think anything of it, dude. And then I woke up in the morning to a tweet with Will, and it said, when you're getting roasted by the boys in the locker room for your haircut, and it showed like a monkey. I'm not going to say what kind because I don't know, right? I don't know monkeys. But it was a certain kind of monkey. It had the oxygen take it.

He looked like he was on like an IV drip because he was dying. Absolutely hilarious, dude. And then the Tennessee tie-ins. came out. Yeah, what is it? What is it a chimpanzee? What is that guy? It's a rang and a tang?

Yeah. And a rang of a tang? A rang in a tang. That's an orangutank. Okay. Um, you see, he did, it goes out. Oh, the Tennessee Titans who are just like, they don't, they don't always try to be funny, but they literally put out an injury report for Will saying that he was doubtful for the game

because of a haircut because of injury was a haircut, dude. And he, and then it was on Yahoo Sports. was on ESPN. It was on, it was on damn near everything, dude. It was on Sports Illustrated. It was Bleacher Report. It was everywhere.

It was absolutely everywhere. And I couldn't believe it. So I think this is, you know, I was nice to Will on the phone, just the two of us. So I decided to make a story for myself just agreeing with everybody

because I had to make it worse for whatever reason, dude. That's so funny. First step, for those of you who had been joining us on the podcast. I usually, I don't do well with hot things.

hold on. It's the perfect temperature. Warm enough to make your belly feel nice. But I'm actually just terrified of the coffee now. Dude, so Will's had a busy 14 days. I wouldn't even 14. I would say it's around like six days, right?

Strip, strip fumble on the goal line against the Detroit Lions. I don't think it mattered. We won that game in daytime, right? We did really well. We did it. We did well in that. And then that,

and just, Willis had a full of week. he's probably exhausted. He's probably just exhausted. And the thing is, is like the suit looked great. The fake gold pocket watch thing looks phenomenal. But should have lit the cigarette.

4.5, right? It's overall 4.5. But I think he could have done, I was wondering what he thought when he got home late Sunday night, early Monday morning. And decided, like he lays that in bed and he thinks to himself, well, the game didn't go well,

but the suit, the suit and thing did. And then something creeps into his mind, probably like, well, now what do I do with this haircut? Like what happens now? I don't know if he's going to shave it or what he's going to do. But dude, there's a lot of things that happen in this game, man. There's this, well, before we go any farther,

we should probably take a break for, chiching, chiching, chich, chich, chich chich chich chich chich chichich chit chichich. Uh, ads. The boys. What's up champs?

That was a great ad, by the way, Will, because Will does the ad reads, right? He sits in a closet in his room and holds up a microphone. was malon does a manscape. For those of you who don't fancy, whatever the thing is, but the thought of will in his dumbass hair cut in a closet, dude, sitting there,

probably wearing the William Shelby suit. That's the same thing as wearing a jersey, right? Like, I think... It's your rule. If you're wearing a suit and you open it up and it's another man's last name, is it better or worse than a jersey? That might be worse.

That might actually be worse. Does anybody think it's better than a jersey? It's hidden. The name's hidden. But it makes it even more suspect. Fully in character. And does it being hidden make it more suspect like you're saying. Do you know when you're like, I don't know if anybody's ever gone down this,

but if you go and look at like parody porn, like you, like it's Scooby-Doo, but they're all humans. And you know, Root-Roe and he pulls it out, right? That would be a peeky blinder, like will be the star in a peeky blinders parody porn, right? What are you to do about this, yeah? Oh, I'll know what I'm a day. I'm going to get my brother. I'm going to get my brother, Will in here.

What he's going to do then? And then Will walks in what you think about this. And he pulls out his penis. And that's when they have sex. And that's when all the acting goes out the window. And they no longer have English actions. It's like, oh, fuck yeah. You like that?

And it's like, dude, this guy was from Camden Town 10 minutes ago. What happened? So anyway, the boy was weird before he got married. That's a weird search histories. Dude, the loss of the Green Bay game, it's like here's the deal and I jokingly I sent Garrett Garrett one of our intern

I don't even know if he's an intern anymore he gets paid now so whatever Garrett like had a tweet about Dory Jackson being trashed it's like we've all had bad games Adory Jackson got his fifth year picked up for a reason because he's played well in the past and we like jokingly he's like it's a fan's opinion

it's opinion and I should have just said okay and moved on but I didn't do it dude I didn't follow my one rule but it's not 2021 yet so we don't have to follow it yet but he did a we just got into it for a little bit and it was it was funny because if you have an opinion about a player right like I've had a lot of people tweet at me and tell me I'm the greatest thing since I've also had probably three times as many tweets at me saying I'm the worst thing since slice bread so it's like you know okay and it is what it is because evidence and flows of the year for

me for me and I can only speak for for me is you know at the end of the season oh my god taylor's so great he's this that and the other and then I'm so great in the beginning of the season And then somewhere in the middle of the season, everyone hates my guts. I'm getting too many penalties. I suck. I'm not what I don't care anymore. And then at the end of the season, what happens? You guys all love me again.

So, and when you just cut out the middle part, that would probably be the most happy thing for me and for the rest of my teammates is maybe just, you know, support the boys constantly. And it's, and everyone's entitled their opinion. I totally just went back on what I said.

But at the same time, like, okay, you know, and that's it. So the Green Bay game, it didn't go well. It reminded me a lot of the Cleveland game, how they go down. they score. We, then, we, we get stopped around the 32.

We don't kick the field goal. I don't understand what was the only because that's, I don't, you know what I'm saying, I don't know the answers to those questions. So I'm not going to even talk about them not kicking the field goal or punting or not punting. And then Aaron Rogers put another 14 on it. It's just,

it's a bummer. And people are like, well, should you even defer? Should you even defer in the beginning of the game? Because that's stupid. It's like, what they did to get their 14 points is what you want to do as a team, right?

You get the ball at the end of the half. You're, points on the board, whether it's three or seven, always prefer seven, but you get three, whatever. In this situation, they got seven. Then you go in a half and it's like, you come right back out, march down the field, right? Like, that's a two possession swing. How does it you want? And so, like, yeah, you want the defense to play better.

Listen, put me in defense, dude. You know what's going to happen? 40 more points. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's the thing. Like, Taylor, you go cover Devante Adams. Well, you want 40 more points? That's what I would say.

For us? Nope, for them. You know? because unless Darren Rogers has a damn aneurysm, I ain't stopping nobody, dude. I'm a good left tackle. And that's literally, I can't even play left guard. I can't play left guard.

I can't play right guard. I can't play right tackle. I am literally, I'm a one-trick pony. And they say in the NFL, the more you can do, here's the end of that phrase. The more you can do it, the less you get paid. Be good at one thing, kids. All right?

Don't try to be a jack-of-all-trades. Find your niche or niche, depending on where you're from. And just be great at that. Right? You can have several irons in the fire, but have that plan A, dude. have that plan A always. And so that's what I did with left tackle thing.

As far as like our defense not playing well, like I said, I don't know how to, I don't play defense. So I can't even comment on it. I played defense for three years. I was horrible. But there was a level of jealousy that game. It being snowy out.

Like playing at the University of Mission, you think, oh, I'm going to play in a snow game someday. And I never did. And it was never snowing outside. There was times where I played in Iowa and there was snow on the sides, but there was, the grass was totally fine.

And then there was, know, there was calling for Snow and it never happened. So, I mean, that would have been a really cool game to play. And you, you know, you sit there as a fan and go, oh, Derek's going to go off this game. But like, you saw from the beginning, they put eight guys in the box, man. Like, you can't block them all. And, you know, Derek did a really good job. I think, you know, there's a couple hiccups in there.

But that's the thing about football is like we can go and coach on Monday, right? I can go, it's Tuesday here. But, you know, the day after the game, I can go and say, well, we could have done this. We should have done that. showed it. It's 11 guys in the field at one time, right? Like, you know, Tana Hill's interception could have been, maybe a guy in his face,

could have been, it could have been so many things. And so it's like not even worth really talking about in this pod because it just, you know, we don't know. Like I can only play left tackle. Rable can only, I guess he could play too,

but he can coach. You know, like, Ryan can only throw the, but you know, it's so many things. So it's like, let's put down our,

um, Or torches and picks and everything. Let's just relax. Because the only thing that matters is this week. You win this week. And for the first time since you guys would know better than me, when's the last time we won the AFC South? 2008.

2008 was the last time. So it's like you lose the game 40 to 14 and then you go, okay. And then it's done, right? Like the game's over. You shrug it off and go, who cares? Right? Lambo Fields, week 16.

It is what it is. game set match. And now you go into Houston with a team that, you know, is four and whatever. They've had a trash year, right? But they have so much talent. And you worry because Deshawn's at the best year he's ever had.

Statistically. And JJ, you know, I saw that damn press conference with JJ. And I'm like, we're professional athletes getting paid a whole lot of money. If you can't come in and put working in the building, go out to the practice field and work hard, do your lifts and do what you're supposed to do. You should not be here.

I feel like, oh, don't worry about it. It's just words. How many guys actually care? It does worry me a little bit, dude. It does kind of tickle me in the wrong places because, you know, JJ, he's a great. He say what we've said about him in the past. He's a great football player. So he commands respect that way.

He's a good leader from what I've heard. He commands respect that way. And then for him to go on a rant for two and a half, three minutes, the way he did, talking about having pride, like, you know, that says a lot about him and the way he's structured his life. and I'm really happy for him. And I think this is his last year on his contract. Like everyone's saying he's going to go to Pittsburgh next year.

Be the Watt trio. It's going to be a stipulation that Derek can't get cut, apparently. But, well, and the last thing I'll say about the Green Bay game before we go into like the week 17, which doesn't matter because by the time this airs, right, we already know, right? So I'm going to say we win the AFC South. And now this will age either great or this will not age very great and we'll move on after. the um the refs did not change the outcome of that game against the green bay packers but holy shit were they terrible like the neutral zone on on kaloo the guy was the last person to move on the kick

and then um there are adams jones erin jones stepping out of bounds it's completely obvious and it's like even new york should have caught that right that the new yorks should call them, you need to review that. That needs to be taking a look at. Like, that needs to happen. Like, Ian, if you were like, Rable should have, wow, what a dumb ass Rable.

I love saying that because I can't get in trouble because I'm somebody else right now. What a dumb ass Rable should have thrown the red flag. Dude, they should have just called that and be like, hey, we should probably take a look at that. And then it would have been like 10 seconds. And it would have been like, okay, go back. Does that change the game?

I don't know what the score is at that time. But probably not. I don't know. Like, the boys didn't play well. Like, that just is what it is. Right? Now we can all just move on. And we go to week 16 against the Houston Texans are our big rival, right?

We left Houston back in 98 or when we leave 98. And then we played in Memphis 99 in 2000. I'm such a genius. And they, like, you know, and they hate us and we hate them. And Houston people are still pissed. And who has the right to wear the throwback Oilers jerseys? We do. But like people get mad about that stuff, you know?

And it's like, it's a big week. It's a huge week. And it's going to be good football on Sunday. It's exciting because Miami, if they win, if Baltimore wins and one other team, Colts win, we don't, and we lose, we're out of the playoffs. 10 and 6. Best record we've had in five years out of the playoffs. How crazy is that? Now, situationally, that's happening.

I mean, I'm sure all of those teams will probably win their games. The bills are sitting there guys. You know, Colts are playing the Jags, and they've seen like they've cashed it in a little bit. I don't know if you ever cash it in, but it seems like they've cashed it in a little bit. And so it's like, it's an interesting little deal. It's an interesting deal to see what's going to happen. My thought is every time Derek's held under 100 yards, every time the team gets donkeyed, like they did against Cleveland, like they did it then, like we did in the past.

They always come out with fire, dude. And it's playoff time. This team did it. And I heard so many on the radio say, last year was a fluke. And that's just what it is. It's a flute now. Even if we don't make the playoffs, it's not a. a fluke because you have like we have the coaches we have the players we you fix a couple of things

now i'm not the person to answer those questions you fix a couple of things those things right you know we make that kick against the steelers in week seven like we're there's this we're sitting everybody you know it's little things that's a beautiful thing about football is it's not an individual game it's really cool that we all have to rely on each other to to accomplish something so that's why people love watching this love the camaraderie this is going to be interesting i'm i'm excited so Titans are going to win the AFC South. They're going to host their first playoff game since 2008, correct? 2011.

Did they host one in 2011? Who cares? Who cares? It's not even worth going into. All I know is that they are doing it, man. They're going to do it. It's going to happen. And we're going to run or we don't. But those guys have their heart set on a trophy this year.

I believe in them. You should too. And I think we're watching this right now going to the way. you still talking about this like it's already passed.

last week. Oh, this is the guy. Yeah. A thousand followers, 10 posts. All right. This did a little B&E, right?

It really wasn't because it was outside of where the buses. The guy gave us 12 days of Christmas, Parker Nordstrom. I hope he's related. If he is related to the Nordstroms who started Nordstrom,

he should have gave us a lot better gifts. For sure. But that Tanna Hill, that Tana Hill sign was wicked, awesome, dude. Behind you. Oh, hell yeah, dude. An elite quarterback.

Let's go top five. Let's go top five. Corbock! Yeah! I love that, Parker Nordstrom. And see, did he act alone? Yeah, as far as I know. Yeah.

That's him banging on our bus someday, dude. That's so sick. Good for you, Parker North's. I'm so stoked. Tier 1 cat. Oh, what saw Dad's Tats on the Pat show and had to copy them because they're effing. Awesome. I'm doing a new thing where I don't curse for my kids.

He actually, is that a real tattoo? Yeah, so you went on the McAfee show a while ago. Yeah, the right, my right hand man. He's got the mustache, too. the mustache. My brother-in-law, Parker, or, oh, this is Nathan now. Yep.

Nathan Fornier? Sure. I made out with a girl named Taylor Fournier one time. I'm one of the related. Nathan, are you related to, her name's Taylor, actually? It was a freshman year at a frat. We made out, and then we went back to her place, and she said she was tired, and then a hockey player came over after, called her out a couple weeks later.

We were actually friends, though. But anyway, so that's... your sister, Nathan. What? I didn't, nothing worked out for me. This kid gets a tattoo, gets, stole my,

that, that might be worse than getting a suit. I get to bang this kid, right? He's not alone. He isn't? There's another one. No way. Somebody named Fitch.

Never made out with the person named Fitch. Keep going. And then this kid. No way. People are getting this tattoo. Yeah. Yeah, it's a selfie, so it's backwards.

No, dude. That's, that's his left hand. Oh, that is. No, no, no, because it's a selfie, so it's backwards. Selfie camera flips it. It makes you all left-handed? A selfie camera makes you all left-handed.

Well, no, it just flips whatever. It's a mirror, so it flips whatever hand it is. So if you show your left-hand, it looks like your right-hand in the photo. Yeah, but if I took my right-hand and then I flipped it, I'm still... This is this dude's left-hand. His thumb... Which goes with what I'm saying.

It flips the cameras. Dude, these are not left-hand. These are not right-handed. Dude, it's me. Take a picture right now and show me. You do it on your hand right now. Fun story while Alex is taking this photo. Terrible podcast content. So, sorry.

Yeah, sorry. So these guys getting this right-hand man tattoo, which might be on the left hand, where it's still for speculation right now. Super killer. I love the fact that people are doing this. Because it's an original idea. It's one of the only original things

I've ever come up with in my entire life. Was the right-hand man. So phenomenal they did that, dude. My brother-in-law, that's your right hand. It's obviously a right hand. I'm wrong. I am wrong.

You're wrong. I am wrong. So people got... Go ahead. Shame them. Okay. I was just told to shame you guys and I'm gone. All right.

Because you effed up, dude. You messed up. You can't go get tattooed a right hand man on your left hand. It defeats the entire purpose of the tattoo. Now, that's still wicked awesome. You guys did that. I'll send you guys a tattoo removal place so we can start over again eventually. But that's unbelievable.

I don't know. Are those actually? real. I mean, they look real. That's super funny. So there's only a few people that I know personally that I've gotten that tattoo after. My brother Alex, who's not really my brother, but my brother Alex, he got it. And then my brother-in-law, so if you zoom in, we'll put a picture when the YouTube comes out. But I put a top hat on him. Like a few years later, I was like, I need to style this guy up. The top hat didn't stick at all. There's like a crease. And so it looks like two antennas. My brother-in-law, when, while my wife and I first got married, he calls me, and he's like, I need you to send me a picture of your right-hand man right-hand right-hand. And I was like, okay, you got it. Took a selfie, so it's still my right-hand hand. And I said it that because it looks like two antennas on mine, he got a right-hand man with two antennas, like alien antennas on his right-hand man, dude. And I was like, goes back to the will thing.

Just like, if you have an idea, make it your own, right? Give him a skateboard. That's wicked, right? Get him a skateboarder. I think my tattoo artist, Joey. Ira Singleton. If anybody's looking to get tattoos, I think he's moving down

in Nashville soon. He let me tattoo a right-hand man on him one time. And that thing is wonky, dude. Like the hand, one hand's doing this, the other hand's doing that. And one leg shorter than the other. It's killer, though. That's cool that those guys did that.

But I feel terrible for them when they hear this podcast and they realize they totally messed up. So everyone else knows. Let me see their name's Christian. Fitch. And Nathan. and four year. That's, that's, uh, the guy's sister I kissed. Um, you guys all got,

oh, I think he did it right. Nope, it's on his left hand too. Oh my God. What are you guys thinking? What are you guys doing? Like, it's called a right hand man. You can't put it on your left hand. But that's wicked, dude. If you guys get a right hand man, uh, send it to us on Bust with the boys. It's a casual tattoo. People don't see it. People are worried about hand tattoos. You pop that thing on there. and if you're single, you go to the bar. It's a nice little icebreaker. It is a nice little icebreaker. It'll help you out if you're not good with ladies like I wasn't.

So I needed a little pick-me-up, you know. Don't know how to talk to people. That's awesome. I love it. What else we got going on? We got this one. What is this? You read that?

I can't read it too far. This is from Danny Riera. It says, hey, guys, just wanted to let you know. Me and the boys have a drinking game where we take a shot every time Taylor says, I'll tell you what. I hate, actually, it's funny that you say that. And I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what,

I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I hate that I say that. I actually, when I listen to the podcast and I heard I was like, what kind of backwards redneck do I say, I'll tell you what, and then I go into something that doesn't matter at all the contents of that sentence at all. So shout out, Danny, you're hammered now. I'll tell you what, you're hammered. So have fun, boys. Subscribe for five shows, Tier one cats, dude.

Tier one cats. Oh, Jesus. So I'll read this one through. I'll just kind of skim it, but this is kind of heartfelt. I thought this was nice. This kid, Raymond, his friend's mom, Pearl, passed away, and she apparently was a big Michigan fan. Really?

And so he sent some pictures of you and her when you guys had met when you were playing. Oh, that's super cool. She thought you were the quarterback. I love to sit here and be like, yeah, I remember her. That's outside the stadium, Michigan Stadium. Rocking that Adidas. What a beautiful old soul.

That's awesome. God, I was hideous. But gift for her, that's awesome. Pearl, a sweet, sweet queen. I do love that, dude. That's super killer. You want to do some pod reviews? Let's do some pod reviews.

Thanks, boys. I've been a loser my entire life. No friends. Never been late. No money. But after listening to every possible bustling with the boys, I'm legit the man. Girls want me.

Dudes want to be me. And I'm rich. This podcast changed my life. Five stars from Mark Jordan. One on September 11th. Never forget. Dude, unbelievable, good for you, dude. I'm so stoked that we've changed your life.

Obviously, we're joking because we'll give you nothing of substance to actually ever change somebody's life. So that's good. If all you need to do with smile, I hope we gave it to you. Life's a little different now. Time to be a little honest here, boys. Your boy was a solid tier three. That's sad to hear. And thought life was good.

Since then, I've put in a little more effort. not a lot and have soared into being a tier one. I'm not sure how that sentence correlates. Life is just different now, boys. I've been getting better, better sleep. The suits are finally noticing my hard work at the job and my wife even finds me sex here. I owe it all to the boys,

I all to the boys on the boys. That last sentence is a no pauser. So you put in, you're a tier three. You put in very little, who sits like this, right? who sits like this? You're a tier three. You put in very little effort and now you're tier one.

I'm not buying it. You're still a five-star review, but you're tier two for sure. I'm glad your wife finds you sex here. I'm not sure what you're doing. Once again, we don't give a lot of substance here. So there's zero reason for Roy G. 33

to, for this to happen to him. I guess he's just needed a little boost, a little morale booster. I can't even read the title. RIP lunchbox. I think about Taylor's fish lunchbox at least once a week. Every day.

Every day I think about that fish. The warmth, the happiness he brought me. My wife and I almost had divorced over that fish. She knew. She knew I loved it more than her. She knew. Man, you really killed a vibe with that one, Al. But you just popped that one on me and I just took a turn to negative town.

You know what I said of that? Okay, okay. Life. For the boys, Will and Taylor are the greatest duo in podcasts since Weal Forever. I think it's supposed to be since well forever. Sense comma, well forever. Yeah. You should have put a comma in there.

Will's beautiful voice is the only thing that can help me fall asleep at night and Taylor's love. What was that? For the boys and constant roasts of nearly ever guests intern and Will is commie. it gold. Thank you very much for saying that. Thanks to these two titans of industry, I now have a will to live. Once again,

if you are on the fence of, is life worth it, right? That is the phrase, I don't want that responsibility, dude. J-Man 42, is that an S? 42s? J-Man-42s. I'm so happy that you are happy

with what the production we're giving you. listen, you're worth it. All right? Don't jump, right? You're worth it. I'm happy life is now worth living. And for you, I will keep this podcast going. And I will make fun of Will harder than ever when the two of us are back in the building.

Thank you for being you. The boys come first. Had to cancel with my girl because the new pod came out. Sorry, but the boys come first. Told her I'd make it up to her with big hugs and tiny kisses with a cry-luffy face. K. Rich, the one and only. Let me tell you some, K. Rich, the one and only. There's probably about a dozen more people like you.

So if you, if you go back, if you have your thing saying K, rich, the one and only, how many people do you think also have the one and only in their Twitter handle, right? Not everybody can just be original. Maybe you're not. I'm stoked you canceled on your girl. Maybe not.

Maybe she's the girl, the one that's going to get away, and this is going to be the straw that boat the camel's back. Who knows? But if you are the one and only, she ain't going nowhere. So that went a whole lot of nowhere. All right. So like obviously, the city of Nashville has been through a lot in the year 2020. Obviously in February and March there were the tornadoes and then COVID.

Not only just struck Nashville, but it struck the whole entire country, the whole entire world. But it also, like, it was definitely personally hit here. A lot of people lost their jobs. A lot of people lost their lives. It was very unfortunate. And then to wake up on Christmas morning, the way we did and to see that Second Avenue, there was a bomb that went off. One of our production guys, Blas is a police officer.

And there's just no place for that in this world. I can go on a rant about, you know, be the get better person, be this and that. Like, fuck that, dude. And I don't know what happened to him. Did he die in the bomb? And there was like one person that died, right? Yeah, he was inside. And he was the thing.

Yeah. Hey, good. You know what I'm saying? You never want to wish somebody to go away, but people that want to be destructive and destroy beautiful things like the city of Nashville or anything or try to take someone's life that they don't even know, right? And that's one thing that's super frustrating. You see in 2020 all these videos of cops and stuff,

and it's a hairy situation to go into because, you know, there are bad cops. There are bad people. There are people that people, you know, all that stuff. But not all cops are bad, right? all, you know, you can't just generalize one group of people. And a perfect example is our guy Blas. He's a top-notch individual. He's an awesome person.

He's great to be around. He's always a smile on his face. He's a 49ist fan, but we don't hold against him that much. But, like, you know, he's a great person and he's a cop. You know, and he could have been one of those guys that were put in danger that day. He was out of town. But it's just, you just shouldn't. It's hard to even talk about because, like, how deep do you really go?

into these things. I'm not going to sit here and change somebody's mind that's going to go and do this, but, you know, supporting the city of Nashville is one thing that anyone who's from Nashville or has been to Nashville, for some reason, gravitates and goes to do because there's something special but the city. You walk down Broadway, yeah, there's a lot of bars, a lot of live music when COVID's not around, but like there's a, there's a continuity. There's a mesh that when people move to Nashville, such a melting pot, like no one is from Nashville. We got two guys sitting here from Nashville, but, you know, It took me six months of living in Nashville to find someone that was from Nashville. That's how many people come from all across the United States to live in a place like this.

A lot of people, thank goodness, a lot of people didn't perish from the situation. But a lot of property was destroyed. A lot of people was businesses. I think there was a tattooing company that lost their business through it. It was completely destroyed. It's a cool opportunity to give back. It's been a tough year for a lot of people. I know Will and I are going to donate.

We're on Twitter with the boys right now. Will will is donating $1,000, I'm doing $1,000. Will tagged three people. I'll tag three people later. But Will's tag three people, and now DeKon Jones is tied to a few people. Jeffrey Simmons is tied to few people. So the money is being risen or rose. And so we just appreciate every dollar you guys can help to, you know,

soften the blow of this thing that happened on Christmas because Christmas, regardless of what you celebrate, right? It's a time, you know, at the end of the year's coming, especially this year. we're all stoked about it. And it's just, it's a good time to give back. Give back whatever you can, right? Just thank you guys. Thank you for being, being a part of this podcast,

being a part of what we're trying to grow. Because it's special, man. What we're doing here is special, but it's not special if it wasn't for you to your. He's got a spinner and everything. God. 10%. Good for you, dude.

Are we ready to go? We're rolling? Yep. Yeah, we're rolling. I put a dip in before it started. I thought about it. I'm waiting. No.

So it would make me look cooler. Yeah. Put one in while we're talking. Yeah, no, that's killer. I used to, you know, that's not poor what I used to do. Let me, let me and show you in because we're so official on this podcast and then we'll keep going. Let us gentlemen, boys and girls, as always, we have a guest, but because of COVID, we are

now doing them from Zoom. Our guest today is now was or is, we'll talk about when you got there, the number one song on all country music, the, the lovely song, Dick Down and Dallas. It's for children of all ages. You will fully enjoy it once you listen to it. Make sure your kids are in the car and take the sensory off. Trey Lewis, ladies, man. Let me give a round of applause.

Round of applause, Trey Lewis. Birmingham, Alabama. So definitely checking that box off on the country music schedule. When did you start doing music? When did you decide that this is what I'm going to do with my life? So in 2007, I started drinking and using drugs at a very young age. Okay. Like 12, to be exact.

And then when I was 19, I decided to go get some help and I went to treatment. And I was there for two weeks. And then I went to sober living for six months. And I got a job working at a smoothie shop. And then as part of like my sobriety, I was like, I need like something to do, you know, like to keep my idle hands busy. And I decided that buying a guitar was a good thing to do. Yeah. And I bought a guitar.

My grandfather paid for half of it. and I paid for the other half and bought a guitar and taught myself how to play it. And, you know, like, I didn't really have, like, many things that, like, made me happy, you know, especially after, you know, just cramming drugs and alcohol into my body for so long. I was like, damn. But when I strum that first chord, I was like, man, this feels good. Like, this is what I want to do. So you found something to music, huh?

Yeah, I found something of music. That's unbelievable. That's what I want to do. Yeah. So when you decide this is what I want to do, how long? was that process before you're like, now, if you kept up with sobriety, you're still sober? I'm still sober, 13 and a half years.

I'm very happy for you, friend. That's awesome. This is a good start to our relationship. We're just being open. Yeah. So when you started making this music, when you strum that first chord, what was like, you said,

I want to do this. How long did it take you to say, okay, I'm going to pack up the bags here, going from Birmingham. Let's go a little farther north and get to Nashville, Tennessee. So my story is kind of funny. So basically what happened for me was,

is I started like playing songs in my bedroom or whatever, like teaching myself songs. And then part of my recovery process, most people know about this and the 12-step fellowships is you sponsor people, you know, like you help people through the steps. So I started doing that. And my very first sponsor, so to say, was a kid kind of same story as me. And but he played guitar and he was sick. He was like in a rock and roll band. and he had been up in Nashville, like recording music.

And one day he was like, man, we're working on the record. We come up to Nashville with me. That way I can have kind of like a sober companion or whatever. And we came up here to us where I live now in Nashville. And I came up here and, like, they had the studio on Music Row. We were just hanging out. And his producer was a guy named West Shaw. He was also the drummer in the band.

And he was like, man, I heard you sing a little bit, play me a little something. and I played this song that I wrote about me and my friends in high school, just raising hell and stuff. And, I mean, the song was terrible. It was called Frankie Didn't Die Out in Montana, but, like, he was like, man, I just love your voice, dude. He was like, you know, you know, and then we, that's how my relationship started with the whole Nashville thing.

And he was, you know, I would come up here and I would record, you know, my shitty songs, and I would listen to him on repeat the whole way home. you know and then that was kind of like man I really want to do this and my dad thought it was a really cool thing um and then uh little by little I was you know just making the trips back and forth and then I started I went back to a I dropped out I was a high school drop out and I went back and got my GED and got a normal I started working at the treatment center I was once a patient out and in between all that was taking making trips to Nashville to record my terrible songs and um my buddy Wes uh asked me he was

It's like, man, if you'll just quit your job, come up here. We lost them. It's part of the bus, man. We work through adversity here. Sounds like trade works through a lot of adversity. And I did some cool shit. And then I moved back home. I took advice from some songwriter friends of mine, a guy named Aaron Lee.

He was like, dude, you shouldn't move up here right now. You should move home and, like, build a fan base and like, you know, get your chops up. And by doing that, I did exactly that. I played Mexican restaurants and pubs and things like that. for years. And then I got married and decided that I wanted to start a band and we started traveling and doing all that stuff. And then I went through a divorce when I was like 29. My dad passed away. There was a bunch of crazy stuff that happened. And then I was by this time I was a full time touring musician and all that stuff. And I was just like, you know, it's either time to like pack it

all up and face my fears or just like, you know, just be that guy that once played guitar, you know, because I did some cool stuff, like, when I was, like, playing music, but, like, it was time to, like, do something different. So when I was 29 years old, I packed up all my stuff, which was not much. And I moved to Nashville. And I had, like, my first room was, like, a mattress on the floor. I had, like, an underwear hamper that was, like, my side, you know, my side table. and just came up here and just started just started roughing it out man going out and meeting people and you know doing all the stuff that songwriters do when they you know first moved to Nashville that's awesome man it sounds like you had a lot of trials that's kind of that's that's that's that's

that's the story in short you know there's a lot of stuff but yeah man it sounds like you sounds like you sound like you had an incredible story I wish you somebody you had to come on the bus and give us the whole thing because it sounds like you've had a lot of trials and tribulations to get you to where you're at now does now does that um drug abuse alcohol abuse your father passing away, your divorce, does those things find their way into your music? Does that, and then the whole divorce thing,

you know, dick down in Dallas, you can't help but think, who hurt you, you know what I'm saying? That's my thought. I was starting to hear the song. I'm like,

who hurt this man? I need to protect him at all costs. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I mean, the divorce was definitely a painful thing to go through. And,

you know, there's been things in my life that have, you know, have been super painful. But it's like, you know, I'll never forget, like,

There's been a lot of cool things that have happened, especially in the last two months. I mean, and, you know, since the song release and before the song release, but nothing was more rewarding than the night that the song came out. And I was in this house with all my friends that, you know, the writers of the song and, like, my friends that have just, you know, tuft it out with me and starved it out with me the last few years. And watching that song come out and watching it go to number one was just like, you know, I was just like, well, damn, I guess God did have a plan all along.

Yeah, man. You know, and it made everything that I've been through, you know, all the years of sobriety and just like, you know, I feel like as a songwriter or just even as a person, like, you know, you have to constantly like reevaluate who you are as a person and like constantly redefine yourself or, you know, you know, know like that and uh if you don't you just like you know get to a certain level and that's kind of just where you stay for the rest of your life you know i don't know for me no 100% i think in the last and go ahead sorry and just like just you know constantly and especially in the music world or entertainment industry you're always being told that you know that's not good enough or or that ain't it you know what i mean so like do you do you let that stuff like tear you down or do you just redefine who you are and get better?

And, you know, I look at it as I sucked for so long that I finally got decent at it. You know what I mean? Yeah, no, I feel you. And that's just how it is. You just got to suck it stuff until you get better at it. I think that's something that people miss the most of, right? Like success, everyone sees. When you're successful, everyone sees Dwayne the Rock Johnson as the dude.

You know what I'm saying? Or Kevin Hart. Yeah. And so people don't realize how much work you've had to put in into all these things. One thing that's different, really different about you that I've noticed, being living in Nashville for the last seven years, you have a lot of opportunity to meet celebrities and country, especially country music people that have been in the business for so long.

You do feel a lot of walls up with people. And with you, you feel like, I mean, you got on here and to open up the way you did to somebody you don't even know, it says a lot about you and your character and how, you know, you being that open book, you could help so many people with what you're doing. And I hope you have so much more success. Like this song is unbelievable, but, you know, I'm sure you got a lot more in you, man. All that stuff you've gone through definitely will find its way on some tracks, I'm sure.

But what do you think is next for you? After this whole 2020 clears up, and it's not like January 31st, right? Things are just going to be up. We're back. Let's go back to regular life. What do you, what do you see your future looking at? Well, we've been doing, we've been doing some touring already, just like smaller stuff in the South. and that's been cool.

We're playing a show in my hometown and this place called Zatiko, smaller venue. But I was like talking to my manager the other day. We've already sold some tickets. I remember when I couldn't sell 50 tickets at that place. That's awesome.

It's like really cool. You know, so I mean, I signed with a booking agency here in town and we're just trying to book some stuff that's, you know, of course, safe, but not, you know, But I mean, I've played, I've been a touring musician for the last, you know, 10 years, you know.

So like being on the road is definitely my goal. And just to continue to play shows. What I'm most excited about it is going out and playing 90-minute shows instead of four hours straight of other people's songs. Yeah, absolutely. That's really cool because that's what I did for so long was I got paid to play other people's songs. and now I'm getting paid to play my songs and, you know, twice as much for, you know, half the amount of time. So I'm pretty stoked about that. I'm probably going to put out a new song in February.

And then after that, maybe an album or maybe like three like concept EPs, like, you know, like three or three to five songs for each P, each EP, like call one sad country songs. and then like one like about breakups and shit and then you know and of course do a music video for every song I put out and everything like that to give the visual that's a music video as a person with zero musical talent it's when you see a music video it just makes the song that much more like you feel what that person is feeling I'm excited to watch it what uh can you give out the name of the song release in February it's called backup man it's called backup man back up man like have you ever been the somebody's side piece.

100% about a 50 times in my life. Yeah. Sometimes you get it how you lived though, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're back. It's going to be a killer son. Do you envision it having as much success as Dick Down in Dallas? I mean, I've kind of, you know, I've done a few interviews since this whole thing happened.

And like, you know, I realize that like some people are only going to like me on Dick Down in Dallas. You know what I mean? But like, that's, that was, you know, that was never like, you know, I never thought that Dick Dada, Dick Down in Dallas would do what it's done. You know, like today I saw on the top 50 viral, like the global viral of Spotify. I'm number, the, the song's number one right now. Really? I just insane.

Dude, we popped your shit on, on this podcast. It was like a topic, like, hey, this is the number one song in music right now. and obviously I've never heard of it and it's like it's hilarious but it's a well done hilarious song you know what I'm saying like the whole thing and everyone

most everyone's been cheated on or something and you know you usually envision that person with you know 50 people at once and all these different you know it's your imagination goes crazy and so I think there's a lot of ways that especially guys that have gotten torched a couple times you can sit there and go damn I think it's important

that you know we talk about the the song a little bit you know it's like I moved to Nashville two years ago, and I've been, you know, writing songs every day, two and three, you know, sometimes even three a day. And, you know, I have my group that I write with and my friends that I hang out with. And, you know, we don't ride around and listen to the radio or listen to songs. Like, we just listen to, like, the songs that we've written, you know, or, like, you know, we send back voice memos of songs we, you know, written or our friends have written. And Matt McKinney, he's like my best friend. He sent me this song that he wrote called Dick Down in Dallas,

and all it was was a verse and a course, and then I didn't think anything of it. And then Brent Gafford and Drew Trosclare, they're also friends of mine. They were the other writers on the song, and then they finished it, and then I heard it. And one day we went to Chili's,

we ate Chili's and Outback a lot. Hey, Outback is an underrated spot. I can't get on board with Chili's with you, but I got Outback all day. That blooming onion smacks. We were coming back from Chili's. and my roommate was like man if this song was on iTunes I would buy it right now and I remember just telling Matt I was like look dude like I know y'all aren't ever

gonna like cut this song like I would do it if you know if you were cool with it and he was like hell yeah dude there's nobody like he was like I could totally see you doing this song because I'm always like how me and Matt met was I was playing at this bar in alburn it's called Skybar and like he had played like right up the street and he was walking down, and I was in there singing the big green tractor by Jason Albine. I was in there changing the, I was changing the lyrics, take you for a ride on my big tallywacker. And that's how we met. And then when I moved to Nashville, I was at Revival one night, and he came up to me.

It's like, dude, we met at Skybar. You were in there changing the lyrics. So, like, you know, adding profanities to songs is always kind of like done my thing. So it wasn't, what I'm saying is it wasn't too. of the box for me to cut a song like that. Like I have other songs that say, you know, fuck or like whatever. So, yeah, I think fuck is a word that I actually talked about in this podcast.

I shouldn't say it as much as I use it too much. But I think a well-placed fuck, especially in a country song, gives a little more of a sharper edge that maybe country needs sometimes, you know? Like lay down a casual little fuck every once in a while. It's kind of nice. Like if Tim McGraw came out with Thickdown in Dallas, I think he'd become a national treasure once again, you know? Like people got to have the stones to talk about the dirty stuff sometimes.

And I'm glad there's people like you to pull the curtain on the sensory of this world and make it a little more naughty. Yeah. And I haven't really gotten a lot of hate. I got one hate email yesterday. What the hate email say? What was it? What super Christian group was this? She just said something like, hey, we knew it was the she from the kickgo.

Sorry, go ahead. You have blood on your hands with the, she was like, you have blood on your hands with this, uh, with this song and all this stuff. I mean, I didn't even read the rest of it.

It's just TLDR, you know. Yeah. And I was just like, whatever, but like, man, honestly the songs brought a lot of joy to people.

So like, you know, and like, I'm asking that she comes back and gives me that sweet ass. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not hating on her. I mean,

for all I know, like, she could just be at the grocery. story, you know what I mean? No question. Or it could be like, you know, Forrest Gump and Jenny, you know what I mean? She's a party girl.

I think that that's an underrated part of that movie is Jenny got around. I mean, she had HIV at the end of the movie, so, spoiler. But she got around and you know what? Forrest Grump loved her just fine. And she probably did get dick down in Dallas, you know? Yeah. Tag team to Tennessee.

The whole king to bootle. Yeah, all of them. Yeah. But fucked in Boston. So I'll tell you what, dude. I love your stuff. But I like you as a person even better because there's a super genuine piece about you that we need on this bus.
