Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:09 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.
Starting point is 00:00:27 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, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Starting point is 00:00:48 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 podcast. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.

I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports and giving you the real story behind the headline.

Welcome to another episode of Bustin with the Boys. I am your host, Will Compton,
Starting point is 00:01:41 as you guys can hear, I have some vocal pusydis going on. I have some stuff going on with my throat. I have no clue what's happened. You guys know I was getting over that buttwind infection in my eye, known as pink eye, for whatever happens, some viral infection. I don't know what it is, but I've been paying the price with the old wind pipes for like the last. How long has it been? Like 12 days now? We're going on like two weeks Thursday. But, you know, something similar to Morgan Wall and I assume, but we're different here.
Starting point is 00:02:09 It don't matter if we get recommended to take six weeks off, go on bed rest, don't speak unless it's for social media. We play fucking hurt here. We are built a fucking grit, determination. I know the voice doesn't sound like it, but you guys know the quote. You know the quote, JP. history is who we are now and we're showing up for the fans if you guys are watching right now on YouTube
Starting point is 00:02:33 make sure you subscribe make sure to leave comments Tuesdays are for the boys right now Taylor's gone Taylor he was on vacation in Cabo he's in Arizona taking care of some personal stuff so it's just the boy I couldn't get a guess I was trying to get a guess I know we need we need guests this is a at times it's a guest driven show but
Starting point is 00:02:49 it's just me and the boys I know you guys love when the boys chop it up so if you're in the comments right now if you're in the live chat move over to comments talk about fucking how gritty we are Talk about Tuesdays or for the boys. Say whatever you got to say to get this chat bumping because we need fucking everybody right now. Hopefully I'm hanging out in the comments with you.
Starting point is 00:03:06 We should all probably wake up at 6 tomorrow and just join everybody for the comments. So I can show our loyalty, get in there. Also, what you guys can look forward to tonight. We're going to plug it. We're going to plug it. 8 p.m. central time. Push up Tuesday with JP on JP Hovey's Instagram live. JP, what is your Instagram?
Starting point is 00:03:24 My Instagram is at J.Hovey 34. You're going to want to be there. We have some big guests lined up. Yes, sir. And of course, you get an opportunity to join the live, but you got to drop, give us 20 and ask a few questions. So if you're in the live, just for clarification, you join the live and you're chatting it up. You have the opportunity to join. If you get picked, you have to drop and give 20 with the boys. Correct. And last week, you get a couple minutes to, you know, get to know JP and Taylor a little bit. And last week, every single person that was on was jacked. No, we need to have a repeat this year.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Jack. Sweet. But yes, listen, to push up the IG live tonight, guys join it. It is a very gritty fucking performance. A performance that reminds us of you guys know what, the Chevy Silverado. You know where truck guys threw him through. And the Chevy Silverado has been a partner with unstoppable grit and determination. It's been our most valuable truck or the MVP.
Starting point is 00:04:22 And now we have the first ever all-electric. Silverado that joins the franchise. We got a chance to see this thing and experience it. Boys, let me tell you, this thing is, what a truck that is. What a truck. I walked in the room and I said, what a fucking truck. Make sure to bleep that out, Blas. Can't cuss on this.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Available 400-mile range GM estimated on a full charge. That means, let me say it again, because I feel like I stumbled over my words. On a full charge, you're saying it's 400 miles on the truck. Over 10 feet of length in the bed with a multiflex tailgate that we've talked about. out in previous episodes through the test of time. Combined now with a multi-flex midgate, a large 17-inch diagonal display screen, it can tow up to 10,000 pounds of max towing. Zero to 60 in under 4.5 seconds with wow mode or willy mode. That means I run my 40 in 4.5 seconds. Up to an impressive 785 foot pounds of torque. And we figured out what torque means. Jack, tell us what torque means.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Are you not listening? Jack, tell us what torque means, baby. How fast you get off the line, basically. Love that, love that. Your 10 speed, your 10-yard dash. Exactly. Head over to Chevy.com to learn more guys, the Chevy Silverado built with unstoppable grit, determination.
Starting point is 00:05:45 No days off, no six weeks of bed rest when you have a Chevy Silverado. I know these vocal cords are done. There's some other artists and people out there in the world that are pushing concerts back because they're built like other brands. that we can't speak of. But here at Chevy, a Chevy podcast, we don't take any days off. Leave a comment.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Let's get started, man. Let's get into some... Gary, you got something? Yeah, I got some breaking news. Oh, shit. Actual breaking news? Yeah. Kids built like a Chevy, so this works.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Okay. But Dylan Riola has committed to the University of Georgia. So we're all fucked. Doug, when you said Dylan Royola, I was like, oh my God, we landed him. You guys has committed to, and I'm thinking of the University of Nebraska. I was I was 99% sure we were going to get this kid. And for you to say that, we still got time.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Number one player in the 2024 class. Number one, we still got some time. Trust me. He's committed to Ohio State. He committed. He only visited three schools after the Ohio State thing. USC, Nebraska, and Georgia. No, look, I think we still got time.
Starting point is 00:07:03 We got to get him to campus again. You got to get them to campus when, you know, maybe when I'm at campus, you know what I mean? When I'm on campus, we need to get him to the bus and bowl. Roll out the red carpet. But that fucking pisses me off, dude. I'm going to be honest. God damn it. I mean, one of his family members is the old line coach there.
Starting point is 00:07:25 We're going to protect you. We're going to keep you upright. We're going to bring back tradition. it's still there. You are right. Like, you know, there's a lot of, I'm processing this in real time. So you got to work with me a little bit. Like, listen, I know we have time.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I know I need to keep my chin up there. There's still fucking time. But to pretend like I'm not bothered by this, you know what I mean? Like a 17, 18 year old kid in high school currently, not going to the school of my alma mater. What is the alma mater? For me to pretend like this ain't going to, to move my sale a little bit as a grown-ass man.
Starting point is 00:08:03 It feels personal. It does. It feels fucking personal. I've had conversations, not with him directly, with this old man. We got some good common folk. I'm in group chats. What do you feel like you could have done differently? I don't know. That's what I'm trying to talk about.
Starting point is 00:08:19 You did. You left it all out there. Because they're asking me about brand, you know, some brand self potential podcasting. Like, I'm giving free game. You know what I mean? You feel used kind of. I'm not used. Not yet.
Starting point is 00:08:30 yet. Not used, but a part of me is like, you know, I'm thinking long term. I'm thinking what the play is here on the chess board. And that sucks. That sucks. Because I think like, what was that, that five-star old lineman who was shouting, you know, shouting out greatness when he was on his Nebraska visit last week. You talk about the grace of walk these halls, halls, Will Compton. Yeah, which I'm a big believer in. Do that pose, man. Just don't hit the splits. Don't hit the splits. But you got a five-star O-Lyman there. If Dylan would have committed to Nebraska, or if Dylan's a cornhusker,
Starting point is 00:09:08 kids are going to follow his lead. You got a five-star the number one player in the country. You don't, you know what I mean? You're setting the trend. You're not waiting for other pieces to get put in place, like get a wide receiver and then maybe I'll think about it. Like, you're going to bring the talent. Like right now you're going to a place.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Like, you're just going to be another guy. Hi. Yeah, like, I'm sure Stets and Bennett's going to go back and play a couple more years. Still don't have his degree, so. He still doesn't have his degree. Like, finished business. There's so many greats that come out of Georgia. And don't get it twisted.
Starting point is 00:09:38 There's some greats that come out of Nebraska now. But you're reestablishing a legacy in history. And you're just not going to do that at a place like Georgia. Like, yeah, you get to go in and be like, oh, I want a natty. Sweet. Who hasn't? Like who hasn't won a nattie at Georgia? Um,
Starting point is 00:10:01 I don't know, man. That fucking blows. But hey, we're not, you know, we got to keep the vibes up. It's a positive podcast. What a tough note to start on right now. Um, but man, that fucking sucks.
Starting point is 00:10:15 You know, we won't say bust because we still got time to land them. Yeah. We still got time to land them. You know what I mean? We got to, yeah, we got to figure out a way that is true.
Starting point is 00:10:24 We got, you know, oh, that sucks, man. God damn it. Well, put out some fires on social media. All we got to do, Huskers. Just stay focused, keep winning these polls online, and we're going to get it rolling going into the season.
Starting point is 00:10:39 You guys heard what happened at us? Speaking of college football, you guys heard of what happened at Iowa? Sounds like they might have taken a page out of the payoff Willie book. JP, go ahead and brief, debrief what's going on in Iowa right now. So somebody might have to correct me on the exact number, but like... 41. 41 student athletes at Iowa, and one employee are under investigation for gambling. And it's members of the baseball team, track and field, wrestling.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Got to be football. Yeah, baseball, football, men's basketball, men's track, men's wrestling, and one athletic department employee. And there's actually 111 people involved in the investigation. 111? across those. And there's also kids at Iowa State. So this isn't just Iowa. This is the whole Iowa, Iowa State. I would go as far to say is I'm sure there's some stuff going on at probably every university out there. Athletes need to be cautious. Draft Kings, Fandul, all these sports books are outing you guys. Yeah, yeah, they got some information. Not the Barstow sports book. They don't
Starting point is 00:11:50 do that. But Fandul and Draft Kings and all these other fluff programs out there, they are are in bed with the big dogs. They're outing you guys. Be on your toes. Keep your head on a swivel. One thing I think that should come out in these reports is how much they're winning or are they losing. Yeah. Part of the punishment. Just like you're saying like put all their, put all their personal shit out there. Exactly. I think they just need to open it up. You just can't gamble on your own team. Yeah. Yes. Just you can't gamble on your own team. Like open it up, man. Let them make accounts, let them make profiles, connected to their NIL, connected to their bank account, let them gamble on things outside of their sport. Because, like, you know, we're going to be
Starting point is 00:12:38 moving towards and evolving with the gambling space. I mean, there's sports books in stadiums. There's, like, the NCAA, I don't know exactly with the NCAA. Like, I don't know if they're advertising, but all the, like, Fox Sports, ESPN, all these big media companies are in bed with these gambling sports books. Like, it's just. business now. It's like the way, it's like everyday business going on. And so I think they just need to open it up and let it happen. Like you're normalizing it everywhere else except for like these athletes now, and I say that slowly, not to be taken out of context like Joel Embed, I do not think athletes, athletes should not be gambling on their own sport. Obviously like it gets a
Starting point is 00:13:18 little messy there. But every other sport, like just let it be fucking clear. Like give them the profile, Give them the login. Like, let them fucking gamble. Let them lose their fucking scholarship checks. Let them get in a pinch. You know what I mean? Like, that's the, we want to treat, these kids want to be treated like pro athletes, right? They want the NIL.
Starting point is 00:13:37 They want to get all the money now. Like, treat them like fucking pros. They're amateurs, but they're making money. Like, let them make mistakes. They want to gamble. Let them gamble. And it would probably benefit them in the long run. You know how so many guys go broke, like when they get it to the NFL.
Starting point is 00:13:52 You learn in college, there's way less risk. Right, right. It's lower amounts, I would assume. What do you got, man? You said double-sided coin. If they, like, to kind of go back on one way, you said, like, it could help them not get broke, but at the same time, they're not very good at betting. If they're not following payoff, Willie, then they're going to lose all their money. They could get into slippery slope.
Starting point is 00:14:13 I love how you're pushing our show, like, with all this conversation. It's like, it's a slip. I think, in my opinion, I think this is so dumb that they're getting in trouble for it. If they're not betting on their sports and, like, like, like. twisting the outcome, then I think it's fine, in my opinion. I agree. I agree. It's like, it's just, I think, hypocritical that we're making gambling such a normal part of everyday life in the sports world, basically. Like gambling is in front of everybody. There's so much money being spent on it for the advertising and the marketing.
Starting point is 00:14:44 It's like, figure out the lines, which is don't gamble on your own sport and let people fucking do whatever they want to do. Like, experience is the best teacher. Let these, let's the dumbass kids lose money. They'll learn. They'll figure it out. Speaking of dumb and experience being a teacher, John Morant, again flashing a gun on Instagram Live. His homeboy trying to get some cloud putting John Morant on Instagram live showing like, y'all, I'm hanging with him. But you saw, like even he knew. Like, oh, fuck. Hey, dumbass. What is he doing, man? What is going on? And it feels like, I don't know, at this point, yeah, it's just like, it's so beyond
Starting point is 00:15:25 like being normal. It's just the dumbest thing you can imagine. He's suspended right now. The dude's probably going to lose clear most of his endorsements at this point. Nike didn't even drop him over the last one, but they have to drop him over this one. Have to.
Starting point is 00:15:44 It blows my mind that you're making the same mistake. And this isn't even a, we're not even a couple months removed from the last one when you went to rehab or whatever it is for six days. And then they told you. Like, it was a seminar. Yeah, counseling. And they told him, they said he was good so that way he can make playoffs.
Starting point is 00:15:59 You can play in the playoffs. But you're making these same dumbest mistakes. Like, man, you are fucking up your bag. Like, you are fucking up your money. And you're surrounding yourself with the wrong people. Like, like, I get guys want to hang out with all their friend groups. And they don't want to forget where they came from. And they want to, you know, there's a part of success that you want your circle to experience with you, right?
Starting point is 00:16:25 You want to uplift them too. You feel like you are now in a position. And there's a part of you that also wants to help your friends. But you got to know that you're not going the same direction your friends are going. And I'm not saying your friends are going in bad directions. I'm just saying like all of us right now sitting on this bus. We all have different goals and ambitions in mind. Yes, we're all in the same circle right now working together and everything else.
Starting point is 00:16:47 But we all have different ambitions and different trajectories in our life. That at some point is going to split us up. It doesn't mean we're not going to be friends anymore. We can't be homies. It doesn't mean, oh, he's changed up because he thinks he's leveled up. He's gotten money now and gotten this, had this sense of fame and everything else. And that's speaking to, you know, experience with my own self. I'm not saying I ever had friends that would try and get me to buy stuff.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Like, I've had friends who've asked, like, hey, can you float me this amount of money? Can you buy this for me? Can you buy that for me? And if I win, I would say no, I'm sure in their mind, like, why can't comp help me out or why can't Will help me out or do X, Y, and Z? and you just have to know that you have to take care of yourself first. And just because you've attained all this success doesn't mean everybody else can be in it. I know I'm kind of getting on a tangent that's outside of him flashing the gun.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I'm saying that you've got to get out of that influence. Like you are who you surround yourself with. You've got to start surrounding yourself with the right people. You have your parents work their ass off or people in your life. I don't know his family life. I don't know how he grew up. But there's a lot of people and mentors and teachers and people that I'm sure have tried doing everything possible to put him in a situation to where it's like, you're there, man. Fucking go take it and run from it.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Like don't look back. Not don't look back and not be friends with your boys anymore. If you want to help them out, you've got to figure out ways to balance that life of doing what you need to do and what you were put on this earth to do and what your purpose is right now and figuring out how to balance your family and home life and friend life going on. You're in a different world now, man. And people that are screaming the whole, what's the problem? Like, Second Amendment, like, has he done anything wrong? It doesn't matter. The NBA is a private institution.
Starting point is 00:18:32 It's like, you know, you've got to make the right choices. It's like you're allowed to smoke weed as long as you don't go past this certain threshold and test positive, right? And weed is legal in some states. But those states, like, guys are going to be on camera fucking promoting weed and smoking weed and doing all this stuff. It's dumb as shit. Or chugging and bins drinking.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Obviously, I was on the yak. Shut up the case race. But, like, you're not going to be doing all this dumb stuff because you are now an employee to a private entity. They can handle it however they want to. And flashing the gun and doing this and that to, whether you're doing some type of signaling to show, like, what type of life you live and you got a gang bang
Starting point is 00:19:12 or live this certain life to impress people that you ultimately don't give a fuck about and to stunt and the flex. Like, that's just the wrong path, man. And you're fucking up. millions, tens, even I'm seeing reading articles to where you're potentially fucking up over hundreds of millions of dollars, man. For what?
Starting point is 00:19:29 For what? To be on Instagram live and kick it with your homies? Your homies, your boys should know that, like, get better fucking people in your life. And I know that's easier said than done and there's a process with it. But it sounds like he doesn't have the right influences in a light in his life to actually check him, right?
Starting point is 00:19:48 it's a similar situation. It's not like a fucking, it's apples to oranges, but Antonio Brown's kind of falling out of the league and everything else. Like you're surrounding yourself with these yes, man, and people who fucking care about the wrong shit. And they're just telling you what you need to hear. That's kind of my take on not knowing entirely all the ins and outs of this situation, but seeing the headlines of a player like John Morant and the talent that he has
Starting point is 00:20:15 and the opportunities that he has, and he's going to get nine lives in this world. Like, that's how it works. He's that talented. But you have to understand the opportunity that you do have and figure it out, man, because you're fucking up so many things for not only yourself, but the longevity of yourself and other people that are in your closest circle, which probably his family.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Hopefully he's got good people. Hopefully he listens. Next the question. Are athletes overpaid? Which brings us to the pressing question. Our athletes overpaid. Let's talk about netcoins. Have you been looking for a new trust at exchange for your crypto trading?

Starting point is 00:22:05 Yes, there we go. How about our boy Foster Moreau? Yeah, man. So Foster just signed with the Saints. Shout out to Boy Foster, sign it with the Saints. I'm sure DC, Derek Carr had a voice. I had a voice in that signing too. like foster man. Number one, somebody who's underwent treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma,
Starting point is 00:22:28 which is a cancer that he found out he had a couple months ago. It kind of broke the internet, popped out that he was on a, he was on a free agency visit. I forget where. Does anybody know where? I'm pretty sure it's with the Saints. It was with the Saints. I'm pretty sure, yeah. He was on a free agency visit, doing his physical and everything else. And they ended up catching that he had something going on. They run tests and finds out that he has Hodgkin, Lom, Jack, are you able to explain? Hodgians and lymphoma is basically like your immune system that fights off germs. It becomes extremely weak.
Starting point is 00:23:01 So you're very vulnerable to any kind of sickness. And you're just at a really low point in terms of immunity. So, yeah. So when that happened, obviously a massive shock to Foster, I'm sure. Like, again, he posted about it on the internet. Internet was erupting about it. Obviously, just a fucking sad thing when you see. like somebody like an NFL athlete having finding out that they have cancer more or less like on a
Starting point is 00:23:28 on a free agency visit um i'm sure was absolutely scary for foster but uh he is now signed with the saints they feel very good about what his progress looks like that he could potentially on this article here i think it was on ESPN that he uh he'll be looking to potentially play this year still so based on the progress that he's making um what are some of the questions? boats. I think we knew that he was going to be clear to participate and we felt like we were a destination that he was certainly interested in. Obviously, LSU, he's got the New Orleans ties, but it's never, it's never done until it's done. And so soon as the draft was over, we had some communication. I will say that we knew we were looking. I knew where we were looking and it was just
Starting point is 00:24:12 a matter of trying to get something done. And again, it seems like he's on the path to be playing and participating in offseason activities or training camp, I think, this fall. Yeah, it's similar to what, as I think there's two types of it, but Eric Barry, this is what he had. Oh, really? Yeah. He had Hodgkin lymphoma? And then he came back and right here. So he came back for the, he was diagnosed to 2014 in December, came back for a 2015 season,
Starting point is 00:24:40 and was a pro bowler, was on the all pro team, and was the comeback player of the year. I hope we get that same juju with Foster. Yeah, I know, man. You know, like, I'm fired up that he's got some positive news, signed up with the Saints, and was able to kind of figure out some things and find some positive side of it, because I'm sure at first it was scary as fuck, man,
Starting point is 00:25:03 when you find out that you have something cancer is going on. I know I've spoken about it before, but during my free agency after Washington, when I was done with Washington, I had went to Buffalo on a free agency visit. It was my first one. and I was just doing your typical C-spine MRI. And just because I had Stinger history,
Starting point is 00:25:21 I had Stinger and a couple concussions. And so they wanted to do a C-spine scan, went into the fucking MRI machine, come out, and I go into, I sit with the athletic trainer, and they put up basically the scan. And they go, Will, do you see this white mask right here? And I was like, yeah, what's going on there? and they're like, you know, we're honestly, we're unsure.
Starting point is 00:25:47 We need you to get tests by a neurosurgeon or a neuroradialologist to get an MRI on this because we could be looking at something cancerous right here. We don't know this doesn't fit the mold of what they see in usual MRI scans or C-spine scans. And we don't know if it's in the history of any other C-spine scans that you had because I had gotten C-spine scans in the past with the Washington Redskins. And so obviously your antenna goes up on, you know, what the hell is going on? They pulled me out of, I was in a linebacker meeting watching film with Buffalo Bill's linebacker coach at the time and was going on my routine free agent visit, only to get told
Starting point is 00:26:28 that, hey, we could be looking at something cancerous and it's a potential tumor in your brain. It was like this white mask. It was sitting in my cerebellum of my head. And they're like, do you want us to get you a flight back to D.C.? I'm thinking they were going to do an MRI there. Like it wasn't really hit me yet. And they're like, we think it'd be good if you're around family or people that you know when you get this, when you get this MRI. And I'm low-key starting to freak out then.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Call my dad. It gets a little bit emotional with my dad. Get rushed to a radiologist in D.C. Get a brain MRI on my brain. They put some dye in there so that way they can tell what it is. I get done with the MRI, start going upstairs. And I can hear the neuro-radialologist talking to our surgeon. with the Washington Redskins at the time, Dr. West.
Starting point is 00:27:16 And I can hear walking in, like, I think this is a tumor, this could potentially be cancerous. We might need to look at getting this out of his head, cut out of his head and sent to a lab. And then he was like, oh, he's here. Let me talk to you. Let me talk to you back in a little bit. Heard him click and go, Will, how are you doing, man?
Starting point is 00:27:32 Come on in here. And I was like, Doc, like, you know, I kind of caught the back into that conversation. Let's just cut to it. What are we talking about? He was like, Will, like, come over here. He's like, you see this white mass, and he was like, we're looking at something that could be cancerous. Like, we could be looking at a, I forget what the terminology was, but some type of tumor in your brain. There's a low chance it could be a cyst, but based on what I'm seeing, based on some of these color patterns and everything else, there's like a solid outlining versus like some cloudy lining or maybe it's vice versa.
Starting point is 00:28:04 I don't know. My head wasn't all there. My head's kind of wrapping, trying to get my arms around it. And he was like, we might need to get this operated on, taken out of your head, and checked for a tumor, some cancerous. And he was like, the positive is we can put some titanium, some fucking animantium, basically, like on your skull. And you could still play. And I was like, Doc, look, I'm going to be just transparent. Like, if we're looking at a tumor in my brain that we have to get removed, the first thing, like, I'm not thinking of putting my helmet back on and fucking doing the Oklahoma drill right away.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Like, I'll probably just be done playing. And he's like, you know, have a couple conversations. Get off the phone. I'm driving home. I talk to Dr. West. And she's like, hey, we're going to get options. We're getting your MRI shipped off to people in Europe and fucking all the best, getting the best eyes on it in the world.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Because you need a neurosurgeon now to look at it. He's a neuro radiologist. He's not able to identify specifically what it is. A neurosurgeon can. So I'm up all night. I'm telling my boy Trent Murphy. I'm not telling Charo, my wife, now wife. She's off in the Philippines.
Starting point is 00:29:06 I'm not telling my mom. I just kind of tell my dad, I tell Trent Murphy and a couple of my boys. So we're kind of up all night trying to figure out what it could be. You know, it's sleepless. Get a call the next day from the neurosurgeon. He calls Will, I'm sure you've been fucking, I'm sure you've been paranoid and, you know, probably not gotten a lot of sleep. I'll start right now.
Starting point is 00:29:25 You do not have a tumor. So that was a massive relief. Like we think you have a cyst that you've had. Like I've looked at all your old scans and your old MRIs. They were in those scans, the Washington scans. They were in there. they are hard to find in their defense, but they are in there. It hasn't grown a whole lot. I'm under the impression. We have this dated all the way back to 2014. I'm under the impression that
Starting point is 00:29:47 you were born with this because it is in your cerebellum and you've lived with this throughout your life. So this isn't anything that's life-threatening like, you know, everybody was assuming now. All to say, I'm sure when Foster's learning about all this stuff, like that is just a fucking scary panic. You're almost scared to tell your parents and people close to you because there's a sense of like, you know, like what's, you're kind of just accepting. Yeah, you're kind of accepting the reality, but you know how people around you that's closest to you might take it. And so you're almost nervous to tell them. But obviously, like, coming out on the other side and get in the positive, I hope all this same stuff. I know Hodgkin lymphoma.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I know what Eric Berry went through. There's, he's in the hospital. Same with Mark Herschlich from Boston College, who was going to be. going to be a first round draft pick, was looking at leaving early and got hit with cancer, comes back for a fifth year, ends up still getting drafted in the mid-round's and had a career with the New York Giants. Still, he's a speaker. He speaks on an awesome fucking story with him. But Eric Barry and Mark go through, you know, they go through chemo. They go through the hardship, man. You see him losing weight and everything else and battle him back. You know Foster's got
Starting point is 00:31:00 that same kind of mentality. So whatever he's going to go through, I'm sure he's going through all those processes. Hopefully it doesn't get as low as some of those things and stories you hear about. But I know just finding that stuff on some typical free agent visit, like, is definitely like a shock to the system. I think he's going to be here for Tideon, you too. I would love to it be awesome if he sat with us and talked about it. But, you know, hats off to the boy. Like, that is some positive move. Seeing him sign with New Orleans, too, like growing up in Louisiana, going to LSU, playing with D.C., Derek Carr, like just being in the, being in the backyard. Like, I'm sure he's fired up. So that's some positive news. Yeah. And like the timing of that,
Starting point is 00:31:38 similar with your timing, like as far as contracts go, you have to just be thinking like, oh my God, like, because I'm pretty sure like Foster signed a new deal. Right. It's like something like three year, $14 million. Like, thank God. That's what he signed for? Something like that. That's fucking awesome, dude. Right. It's so like the timing of it though, because that could have easily been, they could have not signed him. Then he misses his window to get a little money. Right. And then you're signing a one-year minimum probably. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I know with my situation, who was the Preston Brown. It was a really good linebacker at the time. I think he was top two or three in tackles. He left to go sign with the Bengals. So that same day, the bill's called. So I was fired up. Like, I wasn't part of the first round of free agency and kind of the second wave is opening up. So I go out there thinking I'm going to walk out there with a contract potentially, right?
Starting point is 00:32:30 I'm meeting with D.C., coach Frazier, going over my. my whole process, how I study day to day throughout the week, talking about leadership, talking about all these things. And I'm fired up. We had a really good rapport going on. Had a really good rapport going on with the linebacker coach. And you kind of get plucked out of there. But you walk away without a contract.
Starting point is 00:32:47 And even when I signed with the Titans, Titans came on board once we got everything cleared. I went through all my MRIs, all my scans, met with doctors, figured out that it was just assist. Then the Titans called, hey, what's going on? What happened with Will and Buffalo? Why didn't they sign him? agents to and all the negotiating. I fly out for a visit with the Titans, end up signing a deal with the Titans on a one year,
Starting point is 00:33:06 $2 million deal, a little above minimum, a little above minimum, but no other competitors in the infragency. Bills, we try going back to the bills. Bills was like, we feel good about what our doctors are telling us. And so there's a little bit of like, you know, something still going on with my head
Starting point is 00:33:24 that they know about that Titans or my agent or other people don't know about. But yeah, that's a good point. Like, he could have easily, you know, it could have been higher if he doesn't have this come out. But, man, that's a fucking good deal to have three years, 14 million, with all that stuff coming out. So fired up for the boy Foster, man.
Starting point is 00:33:44 I know he's just a fucking dog and just a good dude, a good soul. He's a ball buster and a little bit of a prick. And, you know, but he's an awesome dude. I'm fired up for him. What else we got, Jackie Boy? Shane Ray. Five-year hiatus. He came back to sign with the bills.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Shane Ray. So for those who don't know Shane Ray, Shane Ray was a first round pick in 2014, 15, 16, one of those years? 2015. He was their first round pick coming out of Missouri. He was a unanimous All-American. I want to say SEC player of the year at the time. But it was the first rounder to Denver, got paired up with Von Miller, had a shake, didn't have the best rookie year, had eight sacks in his second career. And his trajectory, it was looking up. as somebody who was going to come into the fault. Was part of the Super Bowl winning team, came off the bench, I think, had a forced fumble or a sack maybe in the Super Bowl against. Yeah, a Super Bowl against the Panthers. And I want to say going into his contract year, Denver doesn't pick up his fifth-year option, which sucks for a first rounder.
Starting point is 00:34:49 You kind of want to be, you know, Taylor's talked about plenty of times. You have this expectation that you want to live up to. You want to be a fifth-round option guy. You want to get an extension with the team who drafted you. So a lot of expectations. as that first round pick that you're trying to work towards. You don't want to be a bust. Objectively, looking at his numbers and the journey he's had,
Starting point is 00:35:07 you can put him in the bus category, not hating at all on his game. Just when you look at a first round pick, you want them to be like a legacy guy. You want them to be an 8, 10-year vet, pro-bowler and everything else for your team. Doesn't get his fifth year picked up. So he's in his contract year.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Tears something a ligament in his wrist and is out for like eight weeks. And battles have a tough. battle with being injured, being injury prone that year and goes into the market and doesn't have the best market. Signs with Baltimore, I think. Is that what he did? Yeah, go to his Wikipedia. Signs with Baltimore and I believe hurt himself even in Baltimore and ended up getting cut in training at the end of training camp. Is that right? It's like he has an asterisked by the Ravens and just says offseason and or practice squad member only. Right. Right. So he got done with
Starting point is 00:35:58 this four years in Denver, winning a Super Bowl, being a first-round pick, he has the pedigree, he just needs health and needs to show that he can still flash. Similar to like a Judevian Clowny. Some health concern, but he flashes every year, so he's able to still go get a back
Starting point is 00:36:13 from somebody on a one-year deal because it's upside as high as a first-round pick. And so Shane Ray signs with Baltimore, thinking, okay, let me sign a one-year deal, and again, flash a little bit and get a bag going after that. that's usually your thought process going into that. Has some injury history with Baltimore and ends up getting cut on the last wave of cuts.
Starting point is 00:36:37 That, an ego to a first rounder, you know, I know is a fucking shot. Like, you know, I can only imagine being an undrafted cat and kind of trying to like grow and start lower and go up. But to be a guy who's fucking unanimous all-American, SEC player of the year, round pick, always going to be this. Yeah, Super Bowl, force fumble, like trying to, like, you know, have some longevity in the career to get cut. I'm sure is demoralizing. And not only that, he doesn't get picked up in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:37:10 He goes to the CFL and plays for two years in the CFL for the Toronto. Go ahead say that word, JPM. Argonauts. Tough word right there. But, dude, you see that there? It says in 2023, he suffered a torn bicep. Where? Where are you see that at?
Starting point is 00:37:29 Under his Toronto Argonauts section. Oh, snap. So he plays two years in Canada. So you have that little bit of a career, right? Only to go up to Canada. Like there's a part of you that's like, am I going to play in the arena? Am I going to play Canada? Like, no, I'm too good for that.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Swallows the ego, realizes like if I'm going to get back in the league, I know I got to fucking cut my teeth in Canada and get some film and bounce back from these wrist injuries. So he goes to Canada for two years. And it looks like suffers a torn butt. Wicep late in the season when the team wins the Grey Cup championship, but becomes a free agent in February of 2023 this past year. Now he does a tryout at rookie fucking minicamp at a mini camp tryout with rookies in the draft
Starting point is 00:38:14 class in Buffalo. And now you see a photo going around. He signs with Buffalo, I'm sure on a minimum deal, which is what it is. It shows that he's willing to fucking rebuild a foundation at, rock bottom, right? Like, it shows that he's able to swallow his ego, swallow his pride. Do what he has to do to just get back in the league because the dude loves ball. Like, he just wants another opportunity. That honestly, like, it fires me up. Like, I know he'll be argued about as somebody who's like, this was a first round bus, whatever, fuck that. The fact that the dude
Starting point is 00:38:45 went through that adversity, goes to Canada, battles for a couple years, gets a torn bicep, only to go to a rookie minicamp, the humility you got to have to be a, seven, eight year guy and to go into rookie minicamp to try to get a roster spot speaks volumes of his fucking character whether or not he makes a team we're rooting for him a bus with the boys
Starting point is 00:39:06 but fucking hats off to Shane Redd dude I think that's awesome. Yeah, it's kind of rewriting the book again. It just shows you can be out of the league for a couple seasons and get back in. So the next question,
Starting point is 00:39:20 Will Compton. He's going to say, what kind of story you write in there, JP? How many years until you're back? Yeah, once I get done battling these fucking elements I'm in right now, listen, your boy's about to start working with a doctor high profile now. And your boy's going to get right. I'm talking about this low back I got going on,
Starting point is 00:39:38 this blood work that I've been looking at. We got some stuff going on in the digestive system. We got to fix whatever's going on that's giving me these, you know, that butt wind infection in the eye. Got to get my vocal cords bag, but you never know. I think what's tough is we're standing up. Not only am I on the outside looking in with the gambling side of things, the boys are trying to stand up more shows.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Yeah, but you can do three, four years of more shows and pop back in the league. That's a good point. So you're saying fucking capitalize, be a media guy, do the gambling. Then after a couple of year of hiatus, go to a rookie minicamp, earn my stripes, let these coaches know the boys still got some fucking juice. And that's off a fresh body. Shane Ray did it off of an injured body. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:20 So you're fresh. And that's nothing to sleep on. I've only participated in five off-season activities, five training camps, right? And one beer Olympics. One beer Olympics. That's it. That's all the wear and tear we got on it. That's all the wear and tear we got on my body.
Starting point is 00:40:38 And I think that does say something. Right. I like that, though. Take a couple years off, 2026. 2026 or 27. Playoff Willie, the return. And come back for that Titans new, that new spot we got. You cut the road.
Starting point is 00:40:52 If Ray would have me, I feel like Ray would be this dingy one, right? We might have to take our talents elsewhere because Rape doesn't appreciate what sits in this fucking chair right now. You know what I mean? He keeps having bad judgment. He might not be there in 2027.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Ooh, I like that too. I like that too. Speaking of you guys see, Will Levis is now the starting quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. He had a couple good throws, although they are saying he's throwing that rock like Aaron Rogers.
Starting point is 00:41:18 He's looking like Aaron Rogers out there. I saw that tweet. I was like, you know, Will Levis. like a young Aaron Rogers. Like, what are we talking about? You see that release?
Starting point is 00:41:27 It's a quick release, man. I do. I like seeing those videos, but it's like Titans fans, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We have a lot of time until there's, he's playing one snap. But why not? You know, find some optimism. I'm not saying I'm being pessimistic. I just, I feel like someone's got to be realistic.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Yeah. But I hope he is the young A-Rod. People are describing him as. You think he, you think he makes it. it interesting with training camp this year with Ryan Tannen? I do think he makes it interesting. I do think he's sending Malik probably home. At least I hope we do because
Starting point is 00:42:00 we don't need three QPs on the roster. What do you do for competition? On the 90-man roster, you need that. Yeah, but we saw how, I hope Malik does well and he finds a spot at another franchise, but he had a couple of shots this year and it didn't really pan out. Clearly, the system at Liberty was a high school system.
Starting point is 00:42:21 And now you're in the pros. Yeah, yeah, I think I think you have a point there You're not like throwing shade it just is what it is this is a business You're operating his armchair GM right now You're trying to find a couple guys who are going to compete for that starting job come August It'll be interesting for sure I think it will because Yeah, I think so
Starting point is 00:42:41 I think so it seems like he's got like He's got the intangible stuff you want in a guy I don't know him that well I'm basing stuff off with some fluff out there However like seeing his passionate reaction when he got drafted. I know like that's taken, that can be like overseen and stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:42:57 but you can tell he's very excited to, like, make a difference in a team. I'm sure he feels slighted going in the second round. Although you did see articles out there of some team's draft strategies that he would have been picked in the first round had certain people not fallen right on their draft boards.
Starting point is 00:43:13 But I'm excited to see it. You know, I think, like, Tanaill needs to be the guy and you don't want to throw him into the fire, especially if you got a good situation going on with Ryan. Like, let's, not forget. Like, Taney, I know he has his blemishes that people like to argue about, but the man's a
Starting point is 00:43:28 good starting quarterback in the NFL. And that just, yeah, and he's fucking consistent. He's level-headed. My man takes a shot when he throws the ball. And I think he'd be good for Will to, you know, to have under his wing to mentor and all that other stuff. But I think it'll be exciting, man. I do think the Titans are in a rebuild right now, but, you know, it's the NFL.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Like, they can make it interesting. I know Vraib, he's a big fan of this podcast. They can make it... Vraib, you can make it interesting. I do think you guys are fucking at the bottom looking up, but I think you guys can make it interesting. Let's talk about, hey, dude, let's interrupt this episode to talk to you about, hey, dude,

Starting point is 00:45:27 Ultimate Fighter trailer came out. The Ultimate Fighter, the reality show that our boy Michael Chandler is in against Connor McGregor. Like, this moment and platform for the boy, listen, I think this is good for busing, right? This is good for busing because the boy, Mike Chandler, like, at the end of the day, McGregor, McGregor hasn't beat anybody.
Starting point is 00:45:50 He's won one fight, and it hasn't been against anybody substantial since 2016, 2017. I think this will be interesting. I think this will be interesting. There's some leakage that's been coming out, whether it's behind the scenes. You know, McGregor, he seems to be in mid-season form when it comes to chirping.
Starting point is 00:46:09 He walked him into that 185. You'll do what you're told. What are thoughts, JP? I know you're our UFC analyst. What do you got going on here? What are you making this? I mean, it was just classic Connor, right? Like, you know, him and Mike have been pretty respectful, like on Twitter. They'll throw a few jabs.
Starting point is 00:46:27 And it's a tough spot because you know how it went down. They put Mike in there first in the wait room. You just have him waiting around. And he's in his, like, gym shirt and everything. And then McGregor comes walking in suited. And I wonder what was going through Mike's head of like, you know, like, am I? I guess we saw what's going through his head. Oh, what's up, Connor?
Starting point is 00:46:48 You know, how you doing? But you got to think, like, man, you know Connor's about to come at you with something. I know, but in the fact he calls him, like, I don't know why this tends out to me, but the fact he calls him Michael, like, oh, don't worry about it, Michael. I'm like, hey, that's Mike, not Michael. Yeah. Michael sounds like he's sonning him. And you don't know the production of the whole thing. Like, you know, they spice it up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Who knows? But you know, Mike, like, Mike's a. He's a different man. His heart turns black when he's that octagon locks. He's a good soul outside of the octagon. There's a lot of respect that always gets paid. Like, you know, he's called McGregor out, right, as a showman after winning a fight. But other than that, when they go back and forth, whether it be on Twitter or anything else,
Starting point is 00:47:33 there's always that sign of respect. So I'm sure, like, when Connor comes in, Mike might be thinking, like, he's going to be that same dude until proven otherwise. And I think, like, with that comment, you'll do what you're told. I was like, fuck, he got the boy, I think, with that one. What would your response have been? You just tip the cap? I don't know. I know.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Like, I'm watching and I'm thinking, like, what would I do? I'm like, I'd probably just be sitting there silent too. Like, damn it. Yeah. You have to lean on what he hasn't done in the last seven years. He hasn't done anything, right? Like, yes, promotion-wise, money-wise, entrepreneur-wise, of course, my man's got a fucking, like a Lamborghini yacht, right?
Starting point is 00:48:13 he wins outside of the octagon but keeping his strictly octagon he hasn't done shit he beat he beat an old man and seroni and hats off to seroni he's the true american right like legend but he knocked him out but that's been it he hadn't beat anybody worth a shit since 2016 right so i think you've got to play to that you've got to have some of these mind games played on your head because you're not going to beat mcgregor on the mic you're not going to beat mcgregor on the mic you got to have some type of comeback where whether you're playing into what he hasn't done in years past, and you got to let him do his thing. And then I think like we were talking about it earlier,
Starting point is 00:48:53 but let him be the showman and kind of like, you know, talk about him like being great outside of the octagon. But like how Mike said he responded to him on social media, I'll do whatever I want, whenever I want. He's responded to something else. But you find your moment to time something up like that because Mike's had more success in the octagon recently than McGregor has You just got to find a way to do it and be like, yeah, do your thing.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Promote the spice others. You are the cash cow. Trust me. And kind of try to play those kind of games versus trying to go toast because he would catch me off with stuff like that. Like you almost you almost got this aura of like you're fighting Connor McGregor. And he's got that mystique of Anna McGregor. And you're just standing in there with cameras on you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:35 And he's suited and booted. You'll do what you're told like, oh, fuck. And then so what? He would have got my ass. Like, what the fuck have you done? But say I would have responded like that, say in the realm of a good response, but I would have been actually emotionally reacted. Like I would have been, my head would have been everywhere.
Starting point is 00:49:54 I wouldn't have been on my toes, like having something cool, calm and collected. Like, I need to get it outside of the room and kind of use the social media. That's what, yeah, he got that swag, dude. He's just been doing it. He's been doing it so long, but. What about the clip that was in another teaser when we, McGregor just shoves Mike's face. I don't know. You got to do what you can to scrap right there, right?
Starting point is 00:50:18 That's what you're doing? You have to. Swinging. You have to. The way you shoved him, it looks like, in the, Mike, number one, like, damn,
Starting point is 00:50:26 he kind of pushed our boy off, like, in the fucking face. Like, he's up there. You know, we're making good TV and everything else. But he goes in fucking bitches you like that, and I'm not saying he bitched out or anything else. But he tries to disrespect you like that with around everybody, with cameras on and everything else. You know people are,
Starting point is 00:50:43 already there and they're not going to let you fight, but you got to do your best and be trying to jump over the fucking Octagon and go get him, right? Yeah. Maybe he does in the whole clip. Yeah, maybe he does. But I'm just saying, like, but we knew this was going to happen. We know social media and the love that McGregor has outside of the octagon. Like, the dude's elite. He's a plus plus when it comes of shit talking. And you almost, you're ready to see that back and forth with McGregor, because he is good at that shit. But you've got to find your lanes like, what Chalers should do? I think he should hire us to run a social media. I think we would, I think, I think, I think,
Starting point is 00:51:17 if he wants, we go toes on social media. If he wants to maximize his brand, that's what he would do. I think you contract out bust with the boys in our team. And I think we will get you right. Hand over the password. Yeah, yeah, hand over your password, Mike. We'll take it from here. We will take it from here.
Starting point is 00:51:34 You focus on whooping his ass in the octagon, because that will be an electric fight. But as far as outside the octagon, maybe, you know, maybe let the boys get it. Maybe let the boys get it when it comes and not being on the microphone. It comes to social media antics and everything else. The ball is in your court.
Starting point is 00:51:50 That is our offer. It's been happening yet. I mean, McGregor hasn't entered the pool yet. Testing. No. I mean, McGregor's juiced up to the gills. I think that's pretty well known. You see his photos.
Starting point is 00:52:06 His head, like, yes, his face, although maybe not bigger, but it's inflamed. Like, it's puffy. the dude is, you know, I know in person it looks a lot different, but you know he's been on that stuff because he's been doing that movie. Whatever, what was that, what's the name? Roadhouse. Roadhouse.
Starting point is 00:52:25 But, yeah, I think it's good because usually I think you would be worried about McGregor, like maybe not falling through. But I think since he's dropping a documentary on Wednesday, since this show is coming out, it makes the most business sense for him to fight Mike. That's why I think ultimately it will happen. It might not happen in September. Probably definitely won't happen in September, but maybe like December.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Right. You think December? Yeah, I mean. Good drag on, man. I hope it's suited. It could be like the last card of the year type thing. Yeah. I mean, we're almost halfway into the year and he hasn't tested.
Starting point is 00:53:01 So he's got to be in it for six months. But I mean, I think they'll figure that out, Tori doesn't have to be in their six months. It's kind of McGregor. You're trying to pack a fucking arena. You know what I mean? it's like hey baby we made it fuck it hell yeah we did the mcgregors made us rich yeah the mcgregor yes again let him let them play into that
Starting point is 00:53:23 you know what i mean what else do we have cooking i know we can do pep people the week we've been rolling for like an hour well also saying something about how they've come to an agreement on the 40 i mean not 49ers the washington commanders deal that it's official i guess yeah man it's time to get the jerseys back out i think i think i can start rooting for the Washington commanders again. H.TTR till I die. But I think this is awesome news for the city. I think the city, they're obsessed with it. They love it. Everybody's been waiting on Snyder to sell the team, whether people are wearing trash bags at the stadium or not filling up the stands or other teams having a home game at FedEx Field. I think this is a massive move. I think Josh Harris,
Starting point is 00:54:04 Magic Johnson and that team will get it going in the right direction. I think everybody's excited. And that's where you need to build right now as excitement. And Washington has a good roster. They can make some noises this year in the NFC East. I think it will be tough with the Eagles. And then you got the Cowboys. And I think the Giants are good. But I think the NFC East will be tough again.
Starting point is 00:54:23 But again, Washington now has a good roster. Snyder has sold a team. The excitement is absolutely maximized for that city. And if you win in that city, they will love the shit out of you, dude. So I am stoked for the... the DMV, that whole area in northern Virginia, D.C. area. Because again, it builds excitement, and I think that everybody was ready for that transaction to happen.
Starting point is 00:54:53 I know I'm excited. I'm excited to root for the boys. There's always a part of me. Like, stuff that happens directly to me, but my wife being a part of the cheer squad and stuff coming out. And, you know, the whole, there's a lot of stories with Snyder. And just you see the reaction. and the pulse of the city
Starting point is 00:55:10 and how everyone ultimately wants it to be sold and everybody hates Snyder, right? And it's tough, man. Like, each year, they've asked me to come back for a game and I've always acted somewhat excited, right? But there's always been a part of me like, ah, just don't know if I, like, it's the right, like time. Now that they're up out of it,
Starting point is 00:55:31 I can't wait to help champion the boys. And we should get the pot out there for training camp, maybe do a training camp, out in D.C. or out in Virginia and interview some of the guys and talk about some of the energy, the new energy that is now in D.C. Here's one question for you. Would Will donate in ACL if it meant Taylor could play at a high level for two more years? No. No. Absolutely. Donate an ACL like I got to go through surgery? Yeah. No. I need my ACLs, man. We heard what Taylor said. You can run the clip in the middle of me saying this.
Starting point is 00:56:10 But when Taylor, we talked about Taylor's $16 million, would he give up a million for me to be on the team? And he said, no. The chance Will comes back is we'll give him a million of yours. Yeah. You would say no. Yep. That's tough to hear.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Hey, but listen, it's just business. If I get the upside, we can talk, we can talk some business now. Like, if I'm able to, like, if Taylor was about that, right, if I give up my ACL for him to have, what was the question? It's for him to have two more years of high-level football. Yeah, we could talk, you know, a good percentage of that contract. Right, it's more than a mill. Like, that could be a business decision that we can talk about.
Starting point is 00:56:49 But the immediate reaction was no, now that it's set in and I thought about it for a minute, yeah, we worked out something contractually. Do I get the upside and I'm earning money while he's playing? And when he gets that next big bag, the boys, he's a talent now. Let's not get it twisted. He's 6-7. He can play over 300 pounds. He can move.
Starting point is 00:57:08 He's going to have a fresh ACL too. We're not talking about any ACL. We're talking about a playoff Willie ACL. He's going to be moving out there. The upside of that next bag, you know, talk them into a three-year deal, maybe 15, 20 a year. If I get in that, now we're talking. I might give that up and go through because I'm going to bounce back from an ACL about four to six months.
Starting point is 00:57:29 There's no question in my mind. There's no question in my mind. I'm sitting on here now with the vocal course that I do still performing. I'm back from an ACL. not in the year's time. We're talking four to six months because the mental is a little bit different. Let's talk about Factor, boys.

Can't speak more enough on that. That was an ad read and a half right there. That was an ad read and a half right there. Let's get into our pet peeve of the week. I think we have a couple fan questions. Okay. Let's hit fan questions. Love that. Keep working it. Yeah, we got one. And I I guess everybody could kind of answer this one. But if you could live as any movie character from any movie in real life, who would it be? Say that again, and they can answer first.
Starting point is 00:59:13 This comes from Brian Boudet, which is an epic last name. But if you could live as any movie character from any movie in real life, who would it be? From any movie in real life? So you can't be a superhero. Yeah. Oh, no, like, I mean, you could be, yeah, not animated. Okay. In that role.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're the character. I wish I could take this one. The guy in his tweet said example, choosing Tony Stark because he is Ironman, a billionaire, and has a hot wife. Yeah, like, I'm trying to think of all these superheroes. I feel like those are, I feel like those are easy grabs. So I was trying to think of something else. But that is, that's a great one. It's hard to be Rocky.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Yeah, but Rocky, like. It's like a bad life, honestly. Yeah, Rocky. Have you watched the Rocky movies? A lot of soft people. Have you watched... You don't, like, truly embody the Rocky. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:00:09 I'm just saying... I'm just saying, have you seen all the Rocky movies? Yes, I've seen all six. Like, my man signs over the power of attorney to somebody else and loses all of his money. And it has to work to get it back. After Rocky 4, when he went to fight for his country and gets the rush and beat him, the man was on steroids, the most love guy in the world that are chaining his name, only to come back to America.
Starting point is 01:00:30 realize he's got insane brain damage and he should never fight again and learn that he signed over a power of attorney and lost all of his money. He's got to go back to Philly and live in the slums again. If you haven't seen Rocky, you just got to listen to that clip. And try to keep his son at home and his son just hates being at home. That were you going out when you come back whenever? Like massive disrespect. Not bad, man.
Starting point is 01:00:55 And then the train, who's he trained? What's that dude's name? Michael v. Jordan. No, no, not Michael B. Jordan. No, not Creed. I'm talking Tommy Gunn. You're training Tommy Gunn. Tommy Gunn leaves you.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Tommy Gunn leaves you to go with another trainer because he wants to fast track to the championship sooner. He ends up getting the title, right? He ends up, and then Tommy Gun comes back in the bar. Like, you know, you were never going to, you always wanted me to be in your shadow. And Rocky's like, no, Tommy.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Like, I loved you like his son. I loved you like his son. son like it's one of my own and he's like you know tries to get him the don king guy tries to give him the fight in the ring and um you know polly starts calling him a bum and uh he tries to get him he tries to talk rocky and they come in in in the ring and promoting that fight and rocky's like my ring's outside and beats the fuck out of Tommy gun then in Rocky six you're in a you're in a you're in a you're in a situation rocky bow boy you're in a situation like george foreman you're coming back and kind of fighting, not for charity, but your son still hates you because you're going back in.
Starting point is 01:02:02 It's always all about you. You lose your wife. Like you lost your wife. And they're trying to get some stuff out of the basement. Like he's still living that life. He's got a little bar. Easy, simple life. Rocky can live that way.
Starting point is 01:02:12 And then you go on to Creed and Creed, Michael B. Jordan bouts you out of the films. You can't even create on the films. What kind of life is that? No, I don't want to be Rocky to answer. Domest. Yeah. What was your answer, though? I think Brad Cooper's character
Starting point is 01:02:28 That's a tough beginning and end though too Yes, yeah But also a really good middle Yeah Why don't you tell us about that movie Will You're right about the end There's part of me like when I said that I'm like man do we get to be like do I have the unlimited pills
Starting point is 01:02:45 Like for eternity If not that is a But at the end doesn't he find a way like there's like Does he like fix it where there's like no hangover or something? Something like I thought there was something like that. You know they created a TV show off that, too. Limitless, I think.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Limitless TV show? I don't know. I saw the TV show. Who would you guys be? I'm either going, um, Jack Sparrow. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:03:10 I see that. He's just, he's out there, just live in life on his own terms. Out on the open seas. Absolutely dunking on Commodore Norrington whenever he gets a chance. Um, always like around beautiful women.
Starting point is 01:03:23 Or I feel like the lowest hanging, fruit is Vincent Chase or our boy Vinnie Chase from Entourage movie That's a tough life to be But Yeah a tough life to be upset at I'm gonna be Dom Torreto Why Dom Torado?
Starting point is 01:03:42 Less than no one else said Yeah I just watched the original Fast and Furious last night It was man It's amazing right So much fun Is she going around on Twitter Like what part of Fast and Furious
Starting point is 01:03:56 Did you realize like all right I'm done with this Is it when he dives and catches Letty over the thing or like a 300 foot highway Or when Ludacris And Tyrese were in space When Duane like Held the helicopter by just a chain
Starting point is 01:04:09 And And when they're like going from building to building On like the 180th floor Yeah God Fast X comes out This Friday And when they're flying the plane
Starting point is 01:04:23 Yeah yeah And when they're flying the plane And Dom and the rock And all these guys are fighting inside of the car go. It's insane. They are superheroes now. It's, it's Indiana Jones could be cool. Oh man, what are some other good ones? I feel like Star Wars would be a good one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:43 Living the guy. Mitch said Star Wars is dumb for anybody that didn't hear him. What are you? A Star Trek guy? And I'm like, no, I am a Harry Potter guy. Harry Potter. Is that the war that goes on, Star Wars and Harry Potter? Is it not? No. I like both. Yeah, I like both too.
Starting point is 01:05:04 I will take Harry Potter. over Star Wars, but I don't, I'm not discrediting Star Wars. I've never watched any of this. It sounds fucking stupid right now, so you better hurry it up. I never watched any Star Wars. I just never had any inclination or want to watch Star Wars. I just, I'm not into it. What was this comment
Starting point is 01:05:20 again? Star Wars is dumb. How are you going to say that? How are you going to say it's dumb? How are you going to say it's dumb when you've never seen it? I've just never wanted to. I just think, like, the sci-fi about it all. Explain it being dumb. I, that's... Sci-fi. Talk about your
Starting point is 01:05:34 wizards and fucking wand-throwing. That's like magic and shit. I think that's cooler than like fucking going like this and the person starts choking. Force choking? Let's grow up here. You think force choking is stupid? Yes. But doing it with a wand, is it?
Starting point is 01:05:50 I think, I think the, like. Building defense orbs around you? Just like with the force? That's magic stuff. I think that, I think that stuff is cooler. Than being one with the force. Yeah. And trying to marry, like, nature to like a lot of philosophies that are taught in Star Wars.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Yes. You sound fucking stupid. And there's not a wizard cap out there that would fit your head. Please pass the plate. I think it would look like a little birthday hat on your head, dude. That is a good question, though, for the internet. If you had to get rid of one series, which would you get rid of Harry Potter or Star Wars? Hey, that.
Starting point is 01:06:26 And when Jack was saying that, too, I was like, man, that is a question. We need to all answer right now. Go ahead, JP. I go first. I'm getting rid of, oh, wait. Let's type the question. again, if you had to choose between Harry Potter and Star Wars, which universe, which would it be? See ya, Harry Potter. Expelliamos, as they say. I will agree. I'm going to stick with Star Wars.
Starting point is 01:07:00 I just feel like there's endless possibilities in that world. I agree with you guys, man. Like, I think as far as the up-to-date and the movie writing and everything else, I think Harry Potter's fucking awesome. They do a great job. But the universe, of Star Wars? Yeah, twice, three times, ten times, hundred times bigger. You can do way more stuff and there's way more I think it's
Starting point is 01:07:28 better storylines. It sucks because it's so that's a tough one. It is tough. I think Harry Potter's awesome. And if you had to pick out of the rides at Universal and Disney, I'm picking Harry Potter. We know where I'm at. I'm picking, I'm keeping Harry Potter.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Yeah, we know. Blas. I'm interested to your Jack. Yeah, I'm picking Star Wars. I grew up with Star Wars, but for all the same reasons too, you said, like, you know, the philosophy behind it, the storylines, the characters, it doesn't get any better than that. The light and the darkhood. We just said the storylines and the characters for Harry Potter, the first one for me came out of when I was in first grade and they were like my age, or like 10 years old or whatever. And then we grow for almost a decade and a half and you see this character development and they grow with you.
Starting point is 01:08:21 To me, that's special. I have to stand with Harry Potter. I grew up with all, like, Ron and Harry and Hermione and the whole game. You grew up with Star Wars, too, a little bit. The first Star Wars came out in, like, 1989 or something. Yeah, but I'm saying, like, some of the new worlds that they've introduced. I like the new series. I liked the, like, Rogue Ones and the new characters they developed.
Starting point is 01:08:42 I wasn't the biggest Star Wars fan as a kid. I was more of a Harry Potter fan. But as the new ones have come out, really like them and I agree with you all. There's more possibilities because the universe is so much bigger in that world. But I solely I just couldn't give up Harry Potter. It's not that I'm giving up Star Wars. I just cannot give up Harry Potter.
Starting point is 01:09:04 So for that reason, I will be sticking with Harry Potter. Lord Voldemort or Darth Vader? I mean, that's tough too. They're just like both the antithesis of evil. Are you saying like a better villain? Yeah. Probably Darth Vader. You got Lord Sidious.
Starting point is 01:09:22 I'll see. Darth Mall. I think for that argument, I would kind of have to go Voldemort because there are so many Darth Mall, Darth everybody. Yeah, but the elite of the elite. And not only that, but like. It's like a crime to say Voldemort's name in the Harry Potter world. Everyone says Darth Vader.
Starting point is 01:09:43 But if you even say Voldemort, people do not speak his name. They did a good job with that. They did a good job with that. But I still think Vader, I mean. Vader's hard to beat. Yeah, when you talk about the whole growing up stuff like that, like you think, you know, you're reading about Anakin Skywalker and some of these magazines when you're young and he's like, he's driving, what are those called when he was racing?
Starting point is 01:10:04 Pod racers, dude. When he's pod racing and he's young and growing up and you kind of just see the transition to Darth Vader, you don't get to El Voldemort. And then like, dude, the dude. What, Tom Riddle? Yeah, but there's not like, uh, It's not like it is in Star Wars, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:21 You do not get the whole story. You learn about it a little bit, but yeah, you're not seeing the development. And Tom Riddle almost felt like he was evil the whole time. Anakin had, there was a time when there was good in him. Yeah, and Lord Sidious was Senator Palpatine, like hiding in plain sight as evil, transitioning Anagan Skywalker into Darth Vader, like manipulating him. And you don't really put it together. I know I did because I wasn't like a, I wasn't like, you know,
Starting point is 01:10:48 You know, the older generation, that Star Wars Junkie, that knew Palpatine was Sidious. So when I'm young, going to these movies and theaters, and you start realizing, like, yo, their voices are kind of similar, and you put it together that, like, Palpatine is Lord Sidious. And then he transitions Vader and he kills our boy Samuel L. Jackson in the hallway. And then also's kids. Like, Antigant Skywalker is a fucking evil motherfucker. What, should we think about doing, like, a bus and movie club?
Starting point is 01:11:13 We're, like, once a month, we let the fans know we're going to watch this movie so that we can just... That would be fun. I think you would like that. Maybe you drop. You need to hear in the comments. Drop comments. Yeah. Start saying movies.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Who's winning in that battle if you took the Harry Potter world versus the Star Wars world? Who's winning? It's tough to beat magic. But the force. Yeah. And you got fucking laser guns. Yeah. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 01:11:38 I think. I mean, who's taking Yoda? Who's beating Yoda? Dobby. And you got to think of the characters like, like, yo, Luke Skywalker. is bodybagging. Harry?
Starting point is 01:11:52 Yeah. Oh, bro. Harry's the chosen one. Yeah, but he gets so lucky in all of his movies. Oh, that's part of his gift. He was a baby and beat the greatest wizard of all time. Luke's a bad motherfucker now. Ray Wood.
Starting point is 01:12:11 God, I love you, Jack. Ray Wood. I have one more question before we go to PetPeeve, and it's all... We have any more ads, by the way? Yeah, we do. We can do one. We interrupt this episode to bring you Duke Cannon. Warmer weather is here. Warmer weather is upon us and things are heating up for the boys.
Starting point is 01:12:28 But guess what? We're not sweating it on the bus. Why? Because Duke Cannon has our backs, not only our backs, but they got our pits and low backs as well. If you need to upgrade your grooming routine or re-stock your favorites, Duke Cannon has everything you need from antipurants and deodorants to thick body wash and their big-ass brick of soap.

You can pick up these hardworking products, again, at Duke Canaan.com. Use code Bustin-10. Oh, fuck, that's in the description link. That's all good.
Starting point is 01:13:07 That's all good. Just go to Duke Canaan.com or go to Target as well. Not for clowns. Shout out the boys at Duke Cannon. I do have one more question. Super easy. but I've been seen this on Twitter whenever we ask for fan questions. Is cereal soup?
Starting point is 01:13:24 No. Explain. It's just not soup. Cereal is cold soup is hot. End of discussion. Cispocho is cold soup. What? Spacho.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Never had it. Well, it's cold soup. Well, you can call it. Look, I'm not defending this side. I just want why you think cereal is not soup. The parameters of soup is hot. What's the... Gispacho.
Starting point is 01:13:48 Gospacho. Gospacho is just a staying alone. It's just got to be called Gospacho. You know what I mean? No, that's just like chicken noodle, like, you know. Because, say, finish it. Finish it. Yes, chicken noodle soup.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Buccio soup. No, brother. We're not. All right, please in the comments tell if Gaspacho soup is super hot. I just want to know why cereal is not soup from you. Yeah, because cereal's cold. That's it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:17 Okay. Anybody, what else? Is gazpacho sweet? I don't know what gazpacho is. It's cold soup. Type it in. So like if my chicken noodle soup is cold, is it just gazpacho? No, it's like, it is a certain kind.
Starting point is 01:14:36 It has a recipe. I think with cereal, it's a 100% milk-based liquid. Soup is not. Yes. I agree with you. According to dictionary.com, soup is a liquid food made by boiling or simmering meat, fish, or vegetables by adding various ingredients. Right.
Starting point is 01:15:00 And what I was going to say, too, is cereal simply, like JP said, milk-based, and you're just dumping cereal in the bowl. You're not combining all these ingredients to create, you know, whatever your little concoction is of hot soup. Yeah. Yeah, you're not like, even the cold soup, I know you're not. I'm on the side that cereal is not soup. So even the gazpacho, I would assume that you're still made of raw blended vegetables. That's a juice. So gazpacho is a cold soup and drink made of raw blended vegetables.
Starting point is 01:15:35 That's the juice. That is a juice. Then tomato basil soup is a juice. That's the same thing. Tomato basil soup is hot. But I'm saying that's the, that is the same thing, Gaspacho. and like the consistency. Hang on now.
Starting point is 01:15:49 Those are the same things. So if by Mitch's definition, like tomato basil soup, you still got to combine ingredients and boil it in, you know, on a stove or on an oven. Is that what it is? Oh, stove top. Yeah, under a flame, over a flame. If you're making a cold soup, if you're not doing anything and you're just blending vegetables together to make a thin consistency, a soupy consistency, like you're explaining,
Starting point is 01:16:15 that is, by definition, a juice. Think about it. Think of when you're juicing, you're fucking blending up vegetables. Thank you. Thanks, Garrett. I feel like Garrett, that kind of backing from Garrett, too,
Starting point is 01:16:31 makes that win. Makes that a fat. I don't think that cereal is soup. I think that milk in the soup, which is giving the whole, like, soup argument, that is just an add-on. The cereal is the physical grain or whatever you're eating.
Starting point is 01:16:45 But the physical grain? Like cereal, a lot of serious made out of grain. I know. I just, I like hearing Jack talk through this. I was. You're trying to make me sound stupid when cereal is grain. I think it's funny to hear physical grain. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:07 And the milk is the pairing that gives it whatever the soup argument. All right. So what side are you on? You're on cereal, cereal soup is. No, I said like five minutes ago, cereal is not soup. I'm on your team. Okay. But gazpacho is cold soup, just to be clear.
Starting point is 01:17:25 Why don't you go have some gazpacho, man? But do you not agree that it should be gazpacho juice? No. What do you mean? And look at all the ingredients in gazpacho. All right, let's go. Best gazpacho spots in Nashville. Let's go around for a pet beef of the week.
Starting point is 01:17:49 What do you got? Say, should we do best soups on Thursday? Yeah. I've been wanting to be down with that best soups, but we can't do it until it's the winter. We got best soups. I think there's a God tear for soup. I don't know. I don't want to say that out either because this is my tear. I feel like we got to do soup when it's the fall. We're not like eating soup right now.
Starting point is 01:18:12 Do you eat or do you drink soup? That's another. We'll save that for next week. All right, pet peeve of the week. Gee, whoever started off. My pet peeve of the week is when somebody doesn't put the top all the way. way back on whatever it is, whether it's screwed, snap, like, you know, you can be at a coffee shop, get a coffee, it's not all the way, you grab it, that could ruin your day right then and there. Could be screwed on, you go to grab the lid, and it's just not screwed on. That can also ruin
Starting point is 01:18:42 your day. So people screw the fucking tops back on, please. Do you? Yeah. People screw the fucking tops back on. Go ahead, Mitch. people that love Star Wars? My pep heave of the week goes to repeating myself. So if I, like, if I'm talking to somebody and they keep going, what? Like what? My parents do it to me all the time. Because they, I guess it's just because my voice is so deep and I sort of mumble sometimes
Starting point is 01:19:11 that like I have to repeat myself like three or four times before they finally hear me. That just, it drives me absolutely insane. And like my roommate does it to me as well. So it's like, dude, just hear me the first time. I'm not saying it. again. That sounds like you got a little bit like a lisp combination. I do have a list. What? So are you mad that you have to repeat yourself or are you mad that you talk the way you do? Mad that I have to repeat myself. It sounds like a problem that you can fix if you just elaborate.
Starting point is 01:19:45 No, I'm not changing. You can hear me. Yeah, maybe enough, there we go. That's what we're looking for. Enunciation. Thank you, JP. That boy. Oh, I start elaborating those words more, man. What's wrong with you? Is it me? Just a file of shit I say wrong. I know. My pet peeve of the week goes to people, unless your dog is old, you should not be carrying it while on a walk. I hate seeing people outdoors holding their dog as they're on a walk and they have a leash on the dog too.
Starting point is 01:20:34 I'm like, what are you actually doing? Like, are you getting a workout in? Or, I mean, is your dog just like this soft that can't be on the concrete? And if it is, it shouldn't be outside to be an inside dog. I feel you. I'm with you, brother. Yeah, I mean, if they're overheated, if it's a medical thing, sure. But like, it takes a lot for a dog to get overheated.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Yeah, it bugs me. Don't be carrying your dog around, JP. That boy will be pissed off. My pet peeveille of the week goes to those people who do. just don't understand personal space. So you could be in a line waiting to get some food and they just are coming right back on you where you can just feel them breathing on you or if you're talking and they're just right in your face.
Starting point is 01:21:23 You get yourself in blast. Mad. So, yeah. My pet peeve is definitely those people who just don't understand personal space. All right. All right. Don't be breathing on my fucking neck. Especially in the sauna.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Yeah. Hey, here's the thing, though. Do you ever say anything? No, I don't. No, no, I don't. It's too hard. You're not trying to create a scene. I went to go pick up that mic?
Starting point is 01:21:57 No, no, I don't. I don't have one this week. I'm just kind of, I'm floating by right now. JP, what's your pet peeve? You want me to give another one? Awkward. No, honestly, I do have one, but it's like very specific.
Starting point is 01:22:15 and it's when people say the term KK. Like, KK and then, like, walk. I'm with you. Oh, shit pisses. Yeah, it's like. Oh, people say it out loud. I hate it in text. Me too.
Starting point is 01:22:27 But if you've ever heard it out loud, I get, I will get, like, visibly angry. No, look, it could be a guy or a girl saying this. I'm not, you know what I mean? But if, if you say KK and then walk off somewhere, everything you've just said to me is now out the window. and I don't care about your life forever. And I am now boiling trying to figure out how I kill you. Maybe I do have one.
Starting point is 01:22:51 So please do not say KK. Or in text. I hate K and text too. That's one. You type K in text? Either one. My pet peeve of the week. Old people drivers.
Starting point is 01:23:05 Senior citizens on the road. I strongly believe that once you get over a certain age, let's just say 50. 55. Okay, I'll move to 55. Once you turn 55, you should have to take the driver's test every year and get that thing. Oh, take what? A couple hours out of your day? Oh, yeah. Amen. To go hit a retest to be on the road?
Starting point is 01:23:36 I can't wait till Will is 55 and has to go to the DMV. No, no, a couple hours out of your day. Time out. Now we're solving. Now we're solving. solving operational problems. We can figure that out to where they're not sitting at the DMV. Like maybe there's just a business that opens it up. Yeah, you go online, but you still have to drive.
Starting point is 01:23:56 Like, I'm so sick of these old people out here. Like, okay, maybe let me reframe. Maybe we go up to 60. 65. Maybe you, as soon as you hit the senior citizen mark. Yeah, I was going to say, what's senior citizen? I think it's like 65.
Starting point is 01:24:12 Okay, let me start that over. When you turn 65 and become a legal senior citizen and reap the benefits of what social security, you get an extra hot dog in line or some shit, get to go to them halls that they all go to and drink a beer, you should have to retest annually for your driver's license because these old people out on the road are a liability. I agree. And they're just slow as fuck. It's like just get out of the fucking way. Yeah. And when you're like trying to figure something out and you just see one slow. slowly drive by you and you're like, they have no fucking clue that I'm here right now. You ever pull up getting ready to give someone a bird?
Starting point is 01:24:52 And then you're like, oh, damn, some old lady. Yeah, they're old as fuck, drooling on themselves, getting that meals on wheels. Oh, dang. Disrespecting meals on wheels on. Can we not joke? My grandpa's on meals on wheels. Take it easy now. I'm a believer in meals on wheels.
Starting point is 01:25:06 I probably will be eating meals on wheels. But for the fun of the joke, drooling on yourself hitting that meals on wheels, trying to get back to that senior home that you're in. We got to get you off the road. Boys, we interrupt this episode to shout out the boy, Burt Crischer. Sony pictures have jumped on board to promote his new movie, The Machine. Have you heard of Burt Crisher? He's a stand-up comedian known as The Machine.
Starting point is 01:25:31 This month, Sony is giving us a new must-see movie to kick off summer starring Burt himself. Based on the outrageous, true-ish story of Burt Crischer that blew up on the internet years ago, the movie picks up 23 years after the iconic story from Burt's signature set, true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip. You know the boy is a booze hound himself and loves a drink and throw him back. That trip from college has come back to haunt Bert as he and his estranged father, played by the legendary Mark Hamel, are kidnapped back to Russia by the mob to atone for something they say he did. Together, Bird and his father must retrace the steps of his younger self, played by the hilarious Jimmy H.O.

Starting point is 01:27:01 tweet that she liked. We were, we asked the question, who do you guys want to see on the bus? Some brave man out there on Twitter said, at Kay Adams and then CC'd me on the tweet. And then Kay liked it, which I can't help but think she liked it because she knew I would get the notification. Like you picture her liking it and then looking over at her producer and say, hey, add J.P. Hovey to the list.
Starting point is 01:27:22 How I, yeah, how I picture it happening is she looked at the comment. She pressed my name. Then she looked me up on Instagram and then came back, liked it, told her producer, we got to make this happen. Not too soon. Not too soon. Maybe we start off. We get a push-up Tuesday. We get her on that Instagram live.
