We will also talk to George about George Kittle stuff, but we got lucky, and now we are joined by Josh Allen, quarterback of the Buffalo Bills.

Let's give a round of applause. and high energy for all the boys on the bus today. This episode is brought to you by the most durable, reliable vehicle on the planet, the Chevy Silverado. It is a strong, advanced, dependable as the people who drive them you. The Chevy Silverado is modern and advanced with a ton of grit. You boys know about grit. A partner in getting things done, especially when it comes to the heart and soul of a pickup

truck, the bed. With the Silverado, you get the most functional bed of any competitor. Wow. Best in class standard cargo volume. The inner gate folds down to a large step for easily getting in and out of the bed. So you guys don't have to lean over into the bed anymore. You can now step and get into the tailgate. It seems like you know a lot about beds.

I know a lot about the Chevy Silverado bed. It is strong, advanced, dependable, hardworking. Go pick you one up. Let them know the boys sent you. I'm sure they'll throw on a free trailer hitch when you go. Oh, yeah. I say that the boy sends you. We prefer Freeland Chevy right here in Nashville.

But go pick one up. Get one for your dad. Get one for yourself. Get one for whoever. Fourth of July is coming. Nothing is more American than a Chevy Silverado. Boom. That's what I got.

That's impressive. Dude, welcome. Hey, okay. We're all over here. George, you obviously, you're a friend of the show. You're one of the boys. Been here once for, I mean, like, this, is this my seat or Taylor's seat?

I don't even know at this point. This is your seat right now. Orm's in the moment. It looks good. I don't even know how Taylor fits in this. He's a big cat. I know, this is a nice fit. Yeah, you look good in it.

I feel great. How, dude, welcome to the bus, man. Yeah, John Allen. What a pleasant surprise. I was literally. watching you on the TV like, what was it, a week or two ago, losing? Yeah. Yeah, the golf match.

We weren't losing all that much. Most of the time we were winning. It seemed like you were taking a lot of accountability for that loss. For sure. Because I watched the beginning and then it's kind of like, you know, it's golf, so you kind of just start flipping through different channels. But I saw on Twitter you were taking a lot of, like, accountability for that loss. You feel like it was on you?

Dude. One, there's a couple thousand people there. Watch you play golf. Watch you play golf. Was you really? The greens. Like, I'm putting balls. down on the T and it's like it's falling and I just you're a little nervous were you nervous the

old time too like the whole time it's falling off and then I hit a dude in the head and at that point I'm like my my swing was lost I was I was trying to play cut every time I try to play cut it which I just hit a you know the dreaded old straight ball and then I every time I try to hit a straight ball and play the cut so uh yeah it was it was a good time though I'll tell you what was it one of the ball tracker on it yeah I was on a plane so I didn't see it oh nice swing that's a good shot to me that's a Really good shot. I wouldn't say that I had like a, like, oh, you putted that.

Terrible shot all day. There are some bad ones, but nothing like no dribblers, no complete shanks, I wouldn't say. If you had to rate each guy, Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers, you and Mahomes. How are you guys ranking you guys as far as like your guys is golf skill? I say Aaron, Pat, myself. Tom. Oh, Tom was that bad? Yeah.

You're going to put yourself for, but. Just pick a camera. A camera. There's a lot of them. Wait, Will gets two cameras on him? One shows. Oh, okay. I was about to say I got a little jealous.

You get jealous, man. Do I love that you have a Michigan, and that's another Nebraska one. Yeah, because we went on that bus and spring tour, so here's what I want to do next year. I'm glad that you're here. Oh, I can't wait. I need to do this.

Obviously, as a new father, we had our child, like, during the bus and spring tour, so we can only do, like, three visits. Yeah. Went to our alma maters in Tennessee, because there was, like, a quick drive. But next year, what I want to do is go to five to seven schools. Yep.

But at each school, you bring one of the boys. Yeah. So we go to Iowa. You're in. Oh, me. Okay, cool. We pay you. Don't worry.

Ali, we pay you. Oh, sick. We compensate you. I love that. And you're part of, like, you know, the Boston Spring football tour at Iowa. I'm in. In George Kittle. Yeah.

Wyoming? Okay. We could. It's a fun town. Not much up there, but it's fun. If we went to Wyoming, would you join the boys? Absolutely. It's in the springtime.

That'd be cool. Is there any like spring ball? Do you go back for the spring games? I haven't been back since. Since I got drafted, yeah. It sounds like it's a fun time out there if you're not going back. It is a fun time. It is a fun time.

What's the best thing to do in Wyoming? Drink. But are we just talking like a local watering hole? There's a couple in our hometown. Or not our hometown, but in Laramie. I feel like I grew up there, you know? Yeah, you did, dude. You did.

There's the buck, the buckhorn. Ooh. That's the spot. everybody ends up at the end of the night. Buckhorn? You get buck nasty there. It's gritty. Laramie's a lot of grit.

I'll tell you that. You got Roxy's. Everybody starts at Roxes and kind of goes the buck. You got mingles and Mulligans. There's about five, five good ones. But again, it's so small, like every time you went out. Like, you saw the same exact people. Every time.

Every single time. You call it your hometown. Like, it seems like that. Yeah. How many people are in, is there you say Laramie? Probably 27, 20. 8,000 people, but half of them are students. Yeah.

Sounds like a good vibe, though. I mean, it sounds like a great vibe. It's hard to be like a small town vibe. It is. You know what I mean? I'm looking at you because I'm trying to lean on you. You're my co-ho. Oh, you're right.

I mean, like you have a lot of fun in those small towns, especially when you find a couple, like you said, watering holes that are enjoyable. You know, the bartender, maybe get a free drink. You win the football game. NIL that's legal now. But hey, that's a good point. Yeah, it is.

You know, might as well take advantage of that stuff as long as you're 21, right, Josh? Yeah, of course. And I think, too, it's probably key to have a girlfriend or a relationship and that kind of vibe. Because if you're trying to be out there mingling, it could be a tougher because you're not in a bigger city. Could be tough to be a mingler. And not a lot of people around. Yeah.

Yeah, word gets around quick. Yeah. So if you got your girl, it doesn't matter. You're just trying to get fucked up. Yeah. For sure. I mean, that's kind of my thought on it. Is that what we did in Nebraska?

You know. Yeah, what is it like going out in Nebraska? What's it like going out in Nebraska? Man, I had a great time because to me, I grew up in Bontair, which is like a small 4,000 that's closer city to us was like a little over an hour away, St. Louis. So going to Nebraska felt like a bigger city to me, but everybody else from all these other big states like Texas, Cali, they all trashed it. Probably similar to Ames.

Or do you think Lincoln's bigger than Ames? Like Ames or Iowa City? Wherever Iowa is. That's so disrespectful. And you did that on purpose. That's Iowa State. That's my fault. That is on me out.

That's probably the other team of you guys. I'm not trying to disrespect you in this. I know we do go back and forth, but I'm not trying to disrespect you on that one. But in Iowa City, I would assume they're kind of similar. I mean, Iowa City's like top three party school for the last 20 years.

Can you bring that up? I don't believe that. Is he? Oh, yeah, Iowa's elite of, it's incredible. I don't know what it's like now, but like 2000 to 2015, we were like top five almost the whole time.

All right, so maybe we're not like that. But also, that's only based off of like paulas and drinking tickets and the Iowa police officer the university police officers are brutal. Like they go, there's like five cops in a bar at 10 o'clock every night. They check IDs and stuff. Really? Oh, dude.

It was not just like a bouncer and you slip them like a 20. No chance. You have five cops in every bar. Like they're buzz killers a lot. It was brutal. And you weren't able to get in being George Kittle? I didn't really pull that card a lot. Come on.

Don't beat. Number 13. That's not bad. Yeah, I mean, Lincoln's like you got your college street. You got your main street. O Street was what it was for us. The rail is where it got jumping. The boys we went out there.

But it was a little dead when we went out during the spring ball. But they were on spring break that weekend. See, that's super tough. I was just back there for, I was back to back weddings. And the first time it was graduation. So that was an absolute riot, just moms and dads. Did you get after it?

Yeah, me, I had a great time. I loved that. Me and Bethard had a great time. We had all the Iowa football guys back. And then the second one was, there was like the Iowa Music Fest or Art, festival so you had like 10,000 people were in the city for an art festival and so that was a ride as well i love that i was city puts on did you ever uh like did you know you're gonna be a first round

pick going into like your senior year of wyoming i did because that almost came out the year prior oh okay i told my family i was going to go out and couldn't sleep that night my head coach called me the next morning i declined it because i was like i can't tell them i'm leaving so at that point i was like shit might as well go back go back for a more year and then wait wait wait wait wait wait wait Wait, wait, wait, wait. Back that up. You were wanting to leave. Yes.

Early. I would have been, presumably, I would have been a first round pick the year before, too. Probably, yeah. So, I'm not too far. You got, just, I know Blas was going to be back there. Like, I'm going to see his finger going. Yeah, so it was weird. Came out on New Year's.

It was the year prior, a mock draft from, I think, Matt Miller. And he, like, projected me number two overall. And then, like, all of a sudden, like, shit just changed overnight. And, like, agents, calm. on different, like, just a whole bunch of shit, and I'm sure you guys have been through it, like, people in your ear. I've been, uh, yeah. I'm drafted, but I was going through it.

So I had about two weeks, and you have to make that decision, right? You have to make the decision whether you're going out or coming back, and I wanted to do it, but I also knew that there was some unfinished business at, uh, in Laramie. I know, what? Like a, like a, you wanted to go to Kinnick Stadium and you wanted to play the Hawkins? Well, we, we had just lost in the Mountain West Championship game at home in Laramie, but I, uh, ended the, uh,

I ended my last throw that season on an interception. That would have killed me. That would have killed me. I'm sure once you got drafted to overall, I'm pretty sure all of those scares. Yeah, but it would have killed. It would have killed me. It would have eaten you a little bit once in a while. Yeah.

Yeah, for sure. I understand that. I love the humility. Oh, dude. Sorry, it's not like you're going to ask something. No, no, no, no, no. I just wanted to, so you ignored your head coach's phone call? Yep.

Yeah, that's what I'm stuck on. You were going to leave, and then you're like, I feel bad. I was going to declare. I was going to declare. Like that day. said my agents like hey i'm i'm gonna do this i'm going with you guys they were pumped and then again i tried to sleep that night couldn't do it Craig bowl calls me and i like look at it and i'm like shit not right now declined it i'm sitting there i'm like it's just it didn't feel right

so then you couldn't tell him no i couldn't tell him no so then he's he was the only guy that that offered me out of junior college right he was one of two guys the other guys pulled their offer because i didn't go visit but he was the only guy that stuck his neck out for me came to my family, my house in Fireball, California, in the middle of nowhere. I felt like I just, I owed him the respect to come back for one more year. What a nice guy. So then, so how does that work? So then when you decided like, okay, I'm going to come back, did you call that agency like,

hey, did you sign that agency the next year? Because he told the agency was coming out. So you went back with him. I went with the same group. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Which I don't think you can get in trouble now, right? In I.L. Dales and that shit. I mean, like, what are they going to do?

It's not like they were my agents when I was in college, but. they were pulling some strings behind the scenes, setting up insurance and, like, I was talking with them, anything I needed. Again, it wasn't like, they're paying me here. I never took money from anybody, but they were there, they were overseeing. I swear to God, swear to God.

Let's be honest, though. Swear to God. Like, just be honest. Hand on Bible. Swear to God. I trust this guy. I trust. No, I trust the loyalty that we're hearing from him.

No, no. Got their guy pretty much forever. If loyalty was a Madden rating, it'd be a 99 for this guy. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Come on now. Did you get offered? Were there a chance?

to take money and you're just like, I'm not going from different agents, yes. Oh, wow. How high? I mean, you turn it down so it's all good. How high? I made six figures. Good for you.

Man, good for you. I'm pretty sure I got offered like 5K from some dude in Chicago. I was like, nah, I'm good. I'd have been there. I'm like, all right, you got me, man. Five grand is cash free. I'm paying taxes.

Yeah. I'm with these guys. You're offered like 400 grand, 500 grand saying no, like that's good on you, bro. Oh, what a savage. Yeah, I mean, it kind of worked out in the end. It definitely worked out for sure, but it's just, you get stuck because don't you think that your head coach had he been, you guys had a very successful year and he gets offered by no disrespect to Wyoming, but a big D1 program, do you think he's leaving and do you think he's thinking about you when he's making that decision?

Wow. That's a good question. You know what I mean? I do. I will say this. Coach, Coach Bowl, again, he was set, he set on retiring in Wyoming. and he signed an extension the year before. Okay.

But let's just say it was no extension. Hypothetically. Hypothetically. Hypothetically. He gets an offer from USC. You think he's staying in Wyoming for another year because Josh Allen's coming back? Oh, yeah. Go pokes.

I love it. I think we should call an ass, just saying. I would love that, dude. Because I think that's a dilemma now in NIL are players like leveraging money to go to certain schools. They are. 100%. Oh, my gosh. And everybody uses like, who's the coach that one?

from Notre Dame down to LSU. My family. My family. What? That was one of the greatest. Oh, my God. Lincoln Riley. Oh, that guy.

Switch schools, but coaches are, like, people are kind of mad that players are doing the same thing. And it's like, hey, at the end of the day, you got to think about yourself. So I'm going back to that instance where you're like, you basically said, you all in on leaving and going to the NFL. But now I feel really bad that my head coach called me. It doesn't feel right.

I can't do it. Fucking, I'm staying. Yeah. It's a good guy, Josh. That is a good guy. That's a good guy. That's a good guy move. It's a great guy move, some would say. What do you guys got? Do we break the bus?

Yeah. Does this bus actually move? When you tow it. When you tow it. Yeah, when you tow it. Do you guys have to strap anything down in here? No, they kind of strip it, and then you'll pack stuff, and then... Gotcha.

Samoa come in, put it on the back, and then we'll trip it wherever. Like, Rich Eisen won't come on unless there's an engine in the bus, which I think is childish. You know what that is? is rich you know what that is what is what is rich that's just your michigan blood talking man like you're too good for the grittiness of football you're too good for the grittiness of the bus there you go you know just stay in your nice little recording studio and wherever it is um just you know run your 40 in your little track suit that's stretchy now and do what's comfortable you know don't don't sweat a little bit don't get out of bed you know you know at 5 p.m and join the boys on the bus just you know

because you might feel a little bad no you know just do you rich it's okay i thought you were better than So there's what the real engine is, though, in this bus? This guy. Let's go. This guy. I don't know why I got that couple of them in, but I'm fired up, boys. Before we get out of the college stuff, I do want to ask about the email that you sent to everybody through coming out of high school and coming out of Juko. Talk about that email.

You got that thing went viral. It was copy and paste. It was, hey, I'm Josh Allen, 6'5, 220. I feel like I'd be a great fit for your program. here's my huddle. These are my stats, blah, blah, blah. And I literally just copy for words, copy paste, copy paste. Send it to every single coach that I could.

I could find emails to when I sent them. Where'd you grow up? Like, where'd you play high school at? I played in a small town called Fireball High School. Like, there's Fireball? Fireball is where I'm from. In Wyoming? Fireball.

California. What a great. Yeah. Oh, what a great name. And you weren't recruited out of high school? I had zero offers at high school. I had no preferred walk-ons at a high school. No preferred walk-ons at all?

A couple of D3s were trying to give me academic scholarship so I can go play there. That didn't happen. Where'd you go play Jukau at? Reedley, Reedley College. Oh, there it is. We're out of California?

Now, were you just not very good in high school? Why don't you think you were getting a lot of pop? Because you're in California. I mean, you can check tape. You were slinging it? I was slinging that thing. Yeah. Yeah, no.

I felt like I was good enough to play. That's obviously why I tried to continue and went to junior college route. But again, I didn't want to make my parents pay you for me to go play somewhere. So I wanted to go junior college, get a scholarship, and kind of pay back my family for doing that. So, yeah, it was. You're a fucking good guy, dude. It was a process.

It was a process. Wow. Did you not go to any, like, camps in the offseason, like, any national camps to try and get everything out? You just played high school ball and made things and sent emails. Yeah, but I played football. I played basketball and baseball. So it was a three-sport guy. So I didn't have the summers where I can just go to the quarterback carousel and go to all the different camps.

go to all the different camps and stuff. And I know plenty of guys that did that that didn't pan out. Didn't work at all. If we can get burnt out, you know, like they continue to do the same thing. Yeah, it's absolutely real. Yeah. So I got the chance to play different sports and feel different emotions and learn different types of characters and how to deal with all that stuff.

So I think that's, I think that's something a lot of kids need to continue to do is play more sports. Yeah, everybody's trying to. Yeah, one sport athletes at the age of like eight years old. Yeah. Terrible. Get him out. Play every sport, dude. Every sport.

soccer, play basketball. I did gymnastics for a little bit. Oh, that's sick. Yeah. Keep that to yourself. Yeah. I was just a kid. Oh, that's not balanced, dog.

That was like three weeks ago, too. Don't all, no. Doug, I need those photos. If that's true, I need a photo you do. Are you in a leotard or anything like that? Yeah, absolutely. We'll find it. No, I'm just kidding.

Google's there. I'm just kidding. I'm thinking of him. I'm literally thinking of him and a leotard right now, bro. George, how felt? Well, you said you want to get out of the college once. You wanted to move on something else? No.

the, yeah, I was going to talk about the kids who specialize in one sport, like their parents, just all year round. Oh, dude, it's brutal. I had, I have, I've, uh, Stoops kids, Drake and Isaac, they're twins, Bob Stoops. My dad's played together. So, like, I've known them since they were, like, four years old. And, like, they went on, like, the football only train for, like, one summer. And then they, like, both almost got burned out by it. And I was like, you guys just go play basketball.

Go play soccer. Like, go play baseball. Like, you might as well. you get good at everything. Like every sport teaches you just something that you can ultimately use later in life. Like if you just do one thing, like if I was going to the same football facility since I was eight years old, like summers. And your training is all revolving around just football?

Oh, dude. I could be burnt out. All you're around as a kid. Like we played six games a season when I was in youth football. Six. Yeah. You practiced twice a week. So it happens for like two months and it's over.

He said soft. Look at us. Look at me now, though. Well, how much did you play? Were you in Pop Warner? Yeah, I mean, we had six games. My first year was a five game season. Then it was a six game season.

Then, yeah, seventh and eighth grade, or both six games. So when you're before middle school, seventh grade, fifth grade was my first year of tackle. How often are you guys? I think, I think we did three, I think we did three days a week. Actually, you know what? I think back on it. Yeah, no, you don't really practice a lot back then.

You talk to your competition about how long your practices are. Like, you know, we're practicing for two and a half hours. Yeah, we're going to fucking. We're getting better. You're getting better. You're getting my, because I, we had my dad, like the first time I was on the bus. He came on. he talked about because he was my coach back then and he uh we'd start and end every practice with

the offensive line drills uh dude's you're dead flying like our quarterbacks would do it wide receivers would do it it was crazy josh everybody's blocking you know his dad i don't know if i've ever met your dad i don't know if you have he's a big ball guy he's fun to talk to big ball guy you get some time is he gonna be a tight-in-you oh bruce he bruce great time you pull bruce aside and you talk to bruce is the orchestrator behind that in you he's a big part of that yeah bruce is a stud he really is You're going to enjoy him. Oh, my goodness. In college, even in Juko, you only had two offers.

You said one got pooled. So even when you're going in Juko and slinging it, probably you're thinking you're really talented and can play at the college level. Why don't you think you were getting offers coming out of Juko? No clue check tape? I honestly don't know. I don't know. Because I think if you were to watch the team, like, all right, this guy's pretty good. Yeah, you've got it.

He's got it. He's got it. So I, there was after one of the games, Mersedd Jr. College, threw for seven touchdowns. They threw touchdown like last second to win the game. And my coach comes up to me is like, these offers are going to start fucking rolling there and just wait. And they never did. Now are your coach is trying to be proactive in getting your name out there?

See, that. Or do you feel like that's where you step up? That's part of the junior college. You don't really know beyond the scenes because obviously they want to, if you're a good player, they want you there for two years too. Yeah. You know, they want to win. Yeah.

So that's part of the dilemma where some guys were hearing different things about some coaches telling other college recruiters like he's not ready. yet he's going to come here for one more year. So you don't really know all that much that happens behind the scenes unless you're talking to the, you know, the recruiter's face-to-face, which... You don't do that often. No. No, you don't do that often.

Yeah, so... It worked out, though. You took shit into your own hands and just email everybody. I think that's awesome. That's awesome. I would email, like, the rivals camp people. Try and get my star rating up. I love that.

It worked, though, because I became a four-star. You know, rival. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Literally, I'd put in the subject like Future Four-Star. It's your four star. How conceited, like, just how arrogant. What'd you get up to? Four stars.

Oh, I was an athlete. Two and a half star. Now, do you guys take pride in that? Like, do you guys take a lot of, like, stars don't matter? You, those types of guys? I don't know if I had any stars. Yeah, I mean, I think the only, I did one, like, national underclassman combat, and that's the only reason I got two and a half stars.

That was all I ever did. You were like a small undersized cat, though, weren't you? Yeah, I was 180 pounds. I was like six one, 180 pounds. I grew two inches in college. Love looking at your old photos. It needed it. Your old photos are fun to look at.

I'm a skinny, scrawny little white kid. Yeah. Man, I drank so much protein, so many protein shakes, and I couldn't put a pound on to save my life. Peanut Butter sandwiches probably. Triple stack. My dad was bigger on that and a glass of whole milk. Incredible. Just couldn't gain the weight, though.

Nothing, dude. That's crazy. I couldn't even, I wasn't even strong until like my 30-year college and all of a sudden everything just clicked for me. Yeah. Oh, Josh. And then everything turns up, you're a fucking stud in the NFL. You get drafted.

What's that like? Being a good old boy from Wyoming, coming out of California, like, you're just, you seem, your character seems 99 off the charts. Now you're thrusted in. You're becoming a first round pick. Yeah, it was nuts. But on the other side, like, I always knew that's what I wanted to do. Like, in our room when I grew up, I had, like, this mural of NFL guy running out of the tunnel. Like, and every night I saw that, every night just ingrained in my mind and walking across the stage, shaking Goodell's hand and holding the jersey up. Like that was the moment for me.

It was like, this is everything that I've ever wanted in my entire life is like, it's right here. Right here. So that was pretty cool. That was a good moment. What was it like being at the draft night? Was that a, where was it? It was in Dallas. Ooh.

Yeah. Good fun. Yes and no. Oh. It was a, it was a hectic time. There's a lot of shit that came out and just some crazy stuff. What shit came out? Yeah.

Let's not get into that. If it's out there, it's already public. It is out there. But no, there were some old tweets that, you know, me and my buddies would go on and Oh, no. And, like, it wasn't anything, again, I don't think it was anything terribly bad, but. You just said a couple things. There's a couple things that.

Okay. A couple emails. And it blew up on Twitter, and I just thought my life was tumbling in front of me. You thought it was over. I mean, I probably lost 10 pounds that day from crying and throwing up and just. Oh, that's brutal. So I fit in my tucks pretty good, though. You look good.

So I look good for camera. I love that. Yeah. So, but that. That moment right there was, like, again, like I said, that's the only thing I've ever wanted in my life to play quarterback in the NFL, and that was like the moment it happened.

That's awesome. Did Wyoming not tell you guys, like to delete your tweets and stuff like that? No, dude. Once you're at Iowa. Once you're at Iowa. I didn't have anything. I went through it and went through,

and I was like, I don't think any of this is bad. Not bad. Yeah, fine. But we weren't allowed to have Twitter at Iowa, so like, I tweeted a ton in high school. Yeah, we weren't allowed to have it. I tweeted a ton in high school. And then, like, my senior year, we went through, like, a meeting and, like, they pulled up all these players old tweets.

And, like, some of them were, like, really bad. And I was like, I should go back and see what my Twitter looks like. And I scrolled for a while. And I was like, delete account. Yeah. And I deleted the whole account. I got a brand new account right after I got drafted. Bro, when you're young, especially when Twitter's brand new, like.

Twitter's brand, you don't expect that to, like, coming up in the future. What? Like, I had buddies stealing my phone and would tweet something and I wouldn't see it. Right. Have you ever hacked on your boy's Facebook? You're just putting, I'm getting it. You know what I mean? I've never done that.

Literally, some of the tweets that were on my Twitter, you know? I never done that. You know, I was like, I just remember one of my boys. It was like Logan Janus, and you put like Logan Janus is gay. I'm coming out today, boys. You just say stuff like that, man. You can't say that. Yeah, you can't say that.

No, but that's funny. That is funny. You didn't get to have it at Iowa? Oh, no. You could have a Twitter, but if you tweeted like, you'd go straight to the head coach's office and you would be done. Beau was like that at times. We had a buddy who tweeted. out like JZ lyrics like Lamborghini Mercy, your chick, she's, she's so thirsty.

I'm in that 2C Lambo with your girl, she's trying to jerk me. And Bo had called me in early in the morning, being like the captain, he's like, hey, you want a Twitter? Like, what the fuck is this? And I'll say, I just kind of put my head down. I was like, they're song lyrics. And he's like, nobody knows these are fucking song lyrics. Except for everybody in college.

Right, right, right, right. But he's like, this is what I'm talking about when I say there's no good that can come from Twitter. Even if it's good at some point, you're going to get bit in the ass. But he was so mad, ripped the kid after practice. This is his name's Toby. Shout up Big Tobs 48. At Big Tobs 48 on Twitter.

Sounds like a good follow. Yeah. But there was a lot of like Twitter dilemma that went on. I do want to ask, are you big into like law of attraction, mental visualization? Because you talk about seeing yourself walk out on stage, holding the jersey. Obviously like coming out of high school, you're emailing all these coaches. Going into Juko, you're still getting, you're still not getting a lot of love. emailing all these coaches.

So there's probably like a lot of either anxiety or doubt that's like, man, do people are they not seeing what I'm seeing on film? Like, how are you kind of dealing with all of those kind of adversities in your own story? That's a good question. These are tough questions, man. Wolf's good at what he does. That's why Will's always here and Tyler goes, I mean, Taylor, Tyler, Taylor, Taylor goes on vacation. Talks.

No, I would say like. I feel like it gets to know the person. Like those dudes, when you're talking about, like, sitting up late at night, like, stuff you think about, like, stuff you think about. like how are you pivoting the next day? You're like, all right, the sun's going to rise the next day. I'm going to get out of bed. Here's how I'm going to handle this.

And I'm just going to keep, like, pushing forward. I'm a big fish guy. So fuck it, shit happens. And, like, you've got to continue to move on. And that's, like, always been kind of in my model. My dad, my dad grew up and he has all these quotes. Like, you bloom where you're planted. Don't get bitter.

Get better. Like, I can go on and on with a list. Don't get better. Yeah. I like that. That's a good one. You know, so to kind of understand that and just know, like, life's hard like shit's hard you know and you gotta find a way like at the end of the day like

and i'm not big on like the mental game and what do you meditation and all that stuff like putting too much pressure on yourself again i'm a freaking i grew up on a farm in the middle california like just fucking figure it out just go play ball yeah my dad would wake up before the sun would come up come home after sunset and understand that you god can't you can't control the rain that's that's up to weather and god and and how he wants to bless you that way. So you have to roll with the punches and adapt and try to find a way to get it done. So that fires me up. Did you ever have like self-doubt like when stuff wasn't coming your way? Never. Love that. Wow. What do you got, George? You're up.

No, no, it's fun. Like, so you said your dad like has all these quotes and stuff. Like, so he just like, he just like shared those with you all the time. Because my dad's like, yeah, all the time. Dude, my dad is big time, bro. My dad has all these awesome quotes and stuff. And he like, he'll just like, I'll just get a, I'll be in my locker room at 49ers. I'll get a letter for my dad. Oh, sick. That's cool. Open up. It's just like a stack of cards. Like that are all laminated. They have like cool quotes on them. Small consistent steps in the right direction and lead to great results. Like just stuff like that. And it's just fun. And he'll send me, but he'll send me like a hundred of them. So then I just put him in everyone's locker whenever I get a stack of them. Oh, it's such a blast. And like when you have a dad that's like helping you out and pushing it forward like that, no, it's a blast. Especially like your dad. You said he leaves before sunrise. It gets home sunset. And you know he's working all day. Like we play a kid's game. I can work all day too, dog. Exactly. Everybody's dealing with their own shit.

Everyone's the old their own shit, dude. People are dealing with, like, that's our real shit, but people are dealing with their real shit that seems way more when you have perspective. It's like, yeah, what the fuck am I bishing about? Yeah. You get a lot of those perspective checks in our line of business. Yeah.

Whether it's, you know, unfortunate circumstances of kids that are terminal coming to practice and sitting there and talking with them and their families and just, holy shit. Like, fuck. And I love like, Osha's Children's Hospitals, a children's hospital up in Buffalo and I work closely with them. And it's awesome.

I love the hospital visits, but it is tough, dude. Like, it's really tough. It's heavy. Yeah. There's people out there like, dang, like, my Achilles is sore. There's kids in a children's hospital that, like, are either terminal or they've been in a hospital for 10 years of their childhood. It's just like, fuck.

Like, I was on the phone. I do a ton of work with the Iowa Children's Hospital. It's like my favorite thing, you know, the wave. It's awesome. Yeah. But I just talked to a girl who I've met her, like, three. three times when I was at Iowa, and then I had to Zoom with her, and, like, she's beating cancer, like, three times. Just an absolute savage. And, like, she's, she's going to, she has thyroid cancer right now,

but it's a quick surgery. And then she's, like, I'll be good to go. And she just, like, yeah, you see pizza when I was getting chemo because I just thought, you know, it could be worse. I'm alive and I'm breathing right now. And I was like, you're a savage. Like, you were the coolest person I've ever talked to my entire life. You were awesome, Sarah. And then anytime you think of a complaint, you're like, whatever fucking complaint. I'm fine. I, all right, what do you want me to do today? Like, let's go, let's go, man. I'm here. I woke up today.

Let's have some fun. No doubt, dude. Oh, dude. I love that. Do you guys do a ton of, like, charity stuff up in Buffalo? I mean, obviously, do it. And then real quick, shout out Bill's Mafia. Like, we did the tight and you thing.

Bridgestone. Hey, we're raising money. Bridgestone will donate $50,000 to the local boys and girls club of the team. Like, so whatever team wins. So, like, George Kittle wins, San Francisco Boys and Girls Club gets $50,000. Well, Bill's Mafia showed up. Dawson Knox got over 50K. and say Bill's Mafia's

Between him and OJ though It was just blew everybody out of the water Who everybody else out of the water Next Coast guy was Chig Who's Nashville Titans rookie titan he's at like 38 Shout out Nashville Shout out Nashville

The next closest after that's like 4K I think I'm at like three Like I'm just like Jeez Louise Bill's Mafia Go off So like it's awesome Like what a great place And a team to be a part of

Like how fun is that When you have fans like that The fans are great That's kind of what makes the city so great But when you look at the makeup of our team and the guys, what they do in the community, you've got Stefan Diggs just had his first camp in Maryland, Jordan Poyer,

Mike Aide does his charity softball game. You know, Harrison Phillips, who's not with us anymore, he's now with the Vikings, but he did a lot in the community. Obviously, I do a lot with community, Dawson,

and the list goes on. There's so many different guys. Like we had Ili Anku, one of our D. Lyman, hand out like 5,000 bikes to some of the kids. I saw that. That was awesome. It's just so awesome.

you know, it's not every day where you can have a group of guys like that. And I think our front office does such a good job of finding the guys with character. Yeah. High character. Love football. So, yeah, it's really cool. And Bill's Mafia, they support and everything. Their Bill's Mafia is insane, bro.

What is it like landing the plane, you guys, whether it's win the division, win a playoff game, and everyone is just stacked out there at the airport? In negative degree weather. Yes, man. At 3 o'clock in the morning. Yeah, I was going to say late at 3 o'clock in the morning. I get the chills thinking about it because it's like you're going through and I'm pretty sure I ran over a few people's feet last year. Like I'm doing like they're like on top of the car, smacking the car, shaking it.

Yeah. So, yeah, it's pretty special. So question for you. So this is one thing that gets me going just a little bit. So like when in Buffalo, do you like notice like when it gets closer to game makes like Thursday, like Thursday, Friday, Saturday? Like is there like a buzz that like fills a whole city. Yeah. So like Iowa is like that.

I know it is. I'm just saying like because like that's a big deal for me like Santa Clara like like we'll have fans and stuff outside the games and stuff like when you'd leave practice and stuff like that but like it's not like we're in San Francisco for sure there's a buzz in the city of San Francisco but like it's a little different where we live like we're in the heart of Silicon Valley like a lot of people don't really care about the night like they don't care about football they don't on a lot of people don't know what it is out there Iowa Hawkeye football versus Nebraska I'm sure that week feels like oh bro like yeah

going into like or like going into just a big game night game starting Wednesday, like, you just see Iowa football jerseys up and down the streets and everyone's just drinking in the streets ready to roll. And then you roll into like, when you pull into the stadium like Saturday afternoon, thousand, I mean, like everybody's there. There's more people outside than our inside. It's just, and I don't know, that's why I think football should be. But like that's why I imagine Buffalo is. Right. Kind of like Buffalo is like a like a Texas high school football, like the most popular Texas high school football team where everyone's like everything's closed right now.

Everything's closed today because we're all going to the game. Like after games, like guys want to go eating. There's nothing. There's nothing open. Because football. Yeah. So, sick. Sundays are our bills for the bills.

It's, it's freaking, it's awesome, though. That's awesome. With the bills. Busting with the bills. Playoff Billy. Tagline. I won't know. Wow, that was great.

Playoff Billy? No, I don't know. Bust with the bills. Busts with the bills. I like that. Yeah, you can have that one. I was in my own world. Were?

Oh, dude. Secure in the bag. Yeah. Let's give a round of applause. when Josh secured the bag last year, right? Yes. Last year? Yes.

That was heavy. How was that, bro? Everything you go through and then you get to, you get to everybody wants their big second contract extension. George as well. We, you know, we gave him a big round of applause when it happened when he got his. Not that big, but it's all right. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't $258 billion for six years. But what was that like, bro?

I read it was six years too. When you got to sign that and it was actually coming to life. It was a long. process of dealing with agents are saying one thing front office saying this thing I'm talking I'm talking to our GM like what's what's what's going on here like

why are we so off so he's your agent trying to coach you up and school you on how to A little bit but I think my agents trusted me enough where I can go in there and talk with Bean and shoot him straight and being one of the best if not the best GM in the league he's he's awesome the way he can relate to guys he does a great job and he'll just

he FaceTime he's in Scotland right now he's time an hour and a half ago and was just like having a good time playing some golf and you know so but for this to come to fruition like obviously there's so many different things and different people that help me get to get to the spot that I was at but it still doesn't feel real to be honest like you look in your account and you're like crazy that's that's nice but I just I have I have such a hard time like buying things what's your biggest splurge what's been your biggest pleasure I got I'm building a house right now in Buffalo house is cool

everybody's going to build a house. Yeah, we're all getting houses. What's something that's like a selfish. It's, I'm putting a, so this, my selfishness is I'm putting a par three over a pond. I'm doing like a huge green. Water on it? Yeah. Oh, that's sick.

You're not losing the match again. You're fucking building the golf course. I'll be locked in. That's one of things. I really haven't splurge. I did take my family and my girlfriend's family to a vacation in Mexico, this last offseason, which was really cool. My grandparents were able to make it.

So that was very fulfilling. Where'd you go? I hear Cabo is the best place. I learned on. We went to Puerto Vallarta. Oh, I've never been. It's, dude, this place is awesome. Type in Latroza.

L.A. TROA.A.A.A.A.A.A.A. Type it in. Type it in. It's badass. I was sitting down watching the basketball games, and American Express commercial comes on. And this place was in the commercial. It's badass.

No, is this, is this a, like a resort? Yeah, it's like a, yeah, type in La Troza. La. LA. Jack struggles. T-R-O. Bear with him. T-R-O-Z-A.

I bet you the smell of that mustache like discombobobulates his brain. T-R-O-Z-A. Yeah. That's right there. Yeah, that's right there. Dude. I don't know.

It seems like you're making it about you. Oh, dude. Oh, that looks decent. Is that your, was that where you stayed? Yeah. I was on the top floor there. Yeah.

Oh. So it's got these two casitas. It's got a guest house and then a beach house. Oh. It was like, it was just the cool set up. Yeah. Will you take us next, please?

Yeah. Yeah. That's actually where we throw quarterback University, QBU. QBU? You guys do a QBU? It's very selective for you. Soon.

I'm just kidding. Yeah, no. At some point. Maybe. Who knows? I don't know if you guys are joking or not. Is there a QBU that happens? No.

No. That would be a bougie experience, though. I'm sure it will. Oh, bro. That would be so bushyy. Oh my goodness. And FLPA's busy trying to get quarterbacks to the NFLPA meetings. Some would say.

I won't be there. say no unlikely you don't like the NFLPA whoa he didn't say this okay come on no comment I know come on we're on the same team here no question no question we're all for the boys we're all for the boys I just want to play football yeah I love that ball is fun you just want to stick to sports but ball is fun would you want to put on a QBU it's a lot of work uh you have to have the right team in place but yeah it's the work but I will say like we're gonna have a really fun time though yeah it's a it's a blast we have 85 tight ends here maybe 86 yeah yeah dude it's crazy that's awesome and you guys like i know you personally but i it seems like and i don't

know about uh Travis it seems like Greg is somebody who's like a very hard worker about stuff oh yeah well it's trapped the same way like you guys got a group of guys who are yeah very determined to put something on like yeah and we also like we wanted to be good too like i wanted to be a top notch event where guys want to come back to it or they actually learn something for it they learn some learn something from it they enjoy it they like my ultimate goal of the whole thing is like I have 85 guys here, right? And, you know, hopefully everyone's on a team. You never know.

But, like, at one point, like, every, every game that you play, you'll know the tight ends on the other team. We have tight ins from every single team. Do T.E.U. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He does. He says, it's.

Are you serious? You got to be patient with my man. No, it's T.E. University. Maybe know your guests before you, like. Come on, Jack. Oh, my. Okay. Here we go.

Probably an underscore in between TE and university. Oh, so now you're giving some bad, uh, here it is. Yeah, he's right there. Oh, yep, this guy spells. There we go. Where'd you go to college? He went to community college. Oh, that's right.

Hey. Oh, yeah, well, that explains a lot. Look at, look at dad Greg Olson in that top right. Dude, I know. I think we get to interview him on Wednesday, and I'm excited. Oh, he's a riot. Yeah. He also, he has like three podcasts, so like, don't get out podcasted.

He's building a little media empire, him and Vince Vaughn. He knows what he's doing. He knows what he's doing. I'll tell you what, Greg, the boys are up next February. Oh, contract's up? Trying to get that Josh Allen money. That'd be cool. That would be really cool.

Yeah, I mean, how much did they pay Tony Romo to announce games? A lot. Tom's going to a lot, too. Oh, gosh. Congrats Tom. You earned it, man. Be awesome, dude. Yeah, just keep being you, bro.

Just keep winning. Fricin Tom. You need that money. You and Tom got beef? Fun beef? Yeah. It is kind of surreal, though, like to be sitting there and also get a notification, Tom Brady talking shit on you. Yeah, that's awesome.

And I grew up, I grew up, you know, huge fan. How are you not? How are you not a fan of Tom Brady? And Patriots fans still post the jersey that I have. Oh, I've seen that. I see that every time you guys play Chos. Every time. When every you play the Patriots, I see it.

Was Tom your favorite growing up? Yeah. Him. Brett was up there. Aaron was up there. So. No paid. Manning? I do like Peyton. I've grown to appreciate his game even more now.

So who's your favorite when you're a kid? It was probably because there was always that argument. Like are you, it was always Tom versus Peyton. Like who were you arguing for like when you're in the lunchroom arguing about the two quarterbacks? Because at that time Tom didn't, you know, he doesn't have all the Super Bowls. I was a Tom guy. I think it was crazy. So I grew up a diehard Bears fan and I was my favorite quarterback was Brett Farf. Yeah. Growing up a Bears fan? Yeah. How did you not, well, I was born in Madison, Wisconsin. So like I was kind of a Packers fan, but like I was a Bears fan. But like, how do you not like Brett Farv, the gunsling? Well, because you're a Bears fan. It's true. I know, but it's Brett Farv, dude.

I'm just saying, like... That dude just threw it to throw it. I didn't even care. It'd be like you saying, like a... It was so funny. It'd be like you're saying like a Husker is your favorite, like, player to watch. Yeah, he's not, though. But that's, I'm saying that's what it's like. Yeah, some would say. I disagree.

That's a fucking good analogy. If you're a Bears fan, you don't want to like your rival. Okay, cool. I don't like the Packers. But Brett Farv is fun of the one. watch. I agree with you. I'm just... I mean, like, so, like, the Niners and the Bills are technically rivals, like, which are both trying to win Super Bowls? Can I not be a fan of Josh Allen? You guys are not rivals. Can I not be a fan of Josh Allen? Yeah,

no, that's a bad analogy. Can I not like Bobby Wagner when he played for the Seahawks? Like, he's a great football player. I respect the hell out of him, but I can't like him. I feel you on that one. Like, come on. You know what I'm fucking saying, though. No, like, don't get me wrong. Like, was there anything I enjoyed more than watching Brian Ehrlich or smoke a Green Bay Packers quarterback? No, that was awesome. Dude, Brian just came on. Did he? Yes, bro.

He's funny. He was awesome. He's funny. He's interesting. That too. He's a good. I liked him. I have to tell you some stuff after the pod.

Oh, I can't wait to the mics are off. Josh. Yes, Josh. Take us to last year, gun slinging, back and forth in my homes. You're losing an OT, but I want you to talk about the playoffs a little bit. You've played in a lot of huge games, dude. Yeah. Fun games.

What more can you do? I want to hear about your your chief stories. Yeah, I mean. By being in that that slinging match at the end of the game. Yeah, there was obviously people still come up to me and talk about. Like, that's the game people talk about, you know? It's crazy. You know, part of it is great to be on the losing end of it, not so great.

It sucks. You know? Super fun. It doesn't make me feel any better when someone comes up because it was the greatest game I've ever seen. It's like we lost. Well, we lost it. What makes you feel worse? Losing the game or losing the coin toss.

Oh. The coin toss. Because I was up to that point, I think I was 9-0 throughout the season. And in our production meeting, it was jinxed. And I was 0-2 that game. Did you talk about the production meeting? Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Yeah. Come on, you can pause that. But what would they say? What was changed? They brought up that stat. You're 9-0. Yeah. You guys are terrible.

Yeah. Who brought it up? Who brought it up? I don't. I'm not going to burn. But like, not going to burn. Let's find out who,

who CBS Sports, who are the, who they announced with this game. You don't even have to tell us. But like, come on. What are we doing? No,

no. It's football. Everyone here is a little stitious. Everybody is, right? Just a little bit. Little stish. Like,

come on. You can't bring up that type of a stat. So I go, I go over, I go over two on coin tosses that game. And, oh, Josh, that makes it worse,

dude. Same. That's terrible. I switched it up. You beat yourself up for it I went heads first And then I went tails at the end And it was obviously flip-flop

So When you were 9-0 Or is there heads or tails That you're sticking with Throughout this 9-0 No I was going up to teammates And be like Heads or tails

Whatever they say You don't see There's a clip NFL posted Like half of the When you were like 6 and O On coin flips They posted it A video of it

And I was like you Yeah I think I'm like I'm like 3 and 6 In my career Something like that And 6 Yeah

Well like we do We have six captains, and so then it's like, like, it's Kyle Shanahan's assistant picks captains that day. And so, like, I'm not always, like, the guy that goes out for the coin toss. This depends. We usually have Fred Warner do it. Gotcha. He's got a pretty good record, though.

I think he's, like, eight and two. Really? It's not bad. He's a stud, too. Yeah. He calls it aggressive. Heads. I'm like, oh, geez.

Yeah, take it easy, Freddy. It's okay, dog. Were both of those, was that the AAC championship game? I apologize for not. Divisional. That was the divisional round? Yeah. Oh, yeah, because the next one is the Bengals.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. What a dumb ass. That was a wild game, too. Last were in the... Most exciting playoffs, I think of all time. The division around every single game ended in a field goal, right? Yeah, every single one.

I mean, you guys were... Robbie! You guys are what? Yeah, that's still, I think that's my favorite game I've played him. You guys were what a drop pick away from going to the Super Bowl? I mean, there's plenty of other plays that happen than that game. Go ahead, do your thing, man. Oh, dude, I love my guy that...

Push the tape. Yeah, dude, it's a... all right. There's, yeah, like I said, plenty of stuff that happened. But like I said, we're not even in that. Yeah, you can exit that. Come on. We're football players.

We relive those sometimes. Hey, what an insane game, though. Yeah. For real. Like, go, guys going back and forth that seem like there was zero defense being played. But watching you guys just duel it out at the end like that just going back and forth. Like, oh, there's X amount of time. If there's no way he's going to do it.

There's no way he's going to do it. Holy shit he's going to do it. Holy shit. Who is your guy that scored four touchdowns? Gabriel Davis, baby. He's the best. Oh, I was like, because I looked at him, I'm like, I swear to God, it's so hard for me to score a touchdown, but like two of his touchdowns, he was uncovered. I was like, good for you, dude.

And it was a great route or something like that. But I was like, damn it. Good for you, dude. That was so fun to watch. You know what? So how do I get those, you know? Oh, it's just like, who do I have to like ask? I just, can you fall over real quick, dog?

Please, that is what it is. We'll get there someday. Are we allowed to talk about, have some Debo talk? Yeah, sure. What do you want to talk about? You want to give me a. Yeah, how do you feel about all the Debo-Samuel stuff going down this past year? The way the wider's your free agent market has unfolded.

Oh, dear. I mean, like, hindsight's 2020, right? Mm-hmm. I feel like, and like I know nothing. I haven't talked to John Lynch, Kyle Shanehan, or Debo about it. I have not. I don't know anything. All I know is that hindsight, I would have paid Debo three cores away through the season.

Try to do a contract in-season for sure. Probably would have been cheaper. Christian Kirk really set the market off. That thing explode. good for you. Or who fucked it off? What was that? The Jaguars?

Yeah, that's what it was. Jaguars really fucked it off by paying Oh, dude. They said, they said, screw the whole league. We're going to pay him 90. We're going to pay him 90.

Congratulations for your 90 mil. But, like, what's going to happen and this is me not knowing anything, Debo's got another year in his contract left regardless, right? He's assuming he's not going to sit out,

that's a lot of money. So he's either going to play this year, is a nineer with one year left on his deal or he's going to get a contract extension. At this point, you can't even trade him. What are you going to trade him for two, a first round pick next year's draft? That doesn't help us this year. Right. Like, come on, you can't trade for future picks, not right now.

So, like, that window's kind of closed. And like, you know, something crazy could happen. I could be eating my words in two weeks. But the Niners have done every major contract. Mine, Fred Warner's the week before the season started. So my guess is within, like, in three weeks, we'll hear news of it. Yeah. But, I mean, like, I have no idea.

Right, because you saw, you saw, because we've talked about it on the pod before, but you saw the situation like an AJ Brown unfold, kind of like a similar situation. Yeah, for sure. And the Titans, like, I'm just going to say cut their losses for lack of a better term because you get worried about the player if they want to hold out and training camp for the season. Like, this could affect the chemistry and everything else inside the locker room.

For sure. Are you worried about that at all? No, dude, everyone loves Debo. Debo's, I mean, and like, I also think that it's the NFL like, you go get what you deserve, dude. Like, Debo deserves to get paid a lot of money. And if they don't want to pay you a lot of money, do what you need to do, dog. Like, like your locker's here.

If you want to leave, hey, it's okay. Like, there's no bad blood with me. The window to play NFL football and to get paid a lot of money is like this big for your whole life. So like don't like, you got to be incredibly selfish. You just have to. And like, you don't like, like growing up and like everything that I've done with my entire life, like going through contract negotiations is incredibly difficult because you don't. I've never like, I tried my hardest to not be selfish ever. And so when you have to be selfish in that moment, it's really hard for a lot.

of guys. Because you're in such a business-minded, like, world. Oh, it is. You have a lot of feelings attached to, like, yeah. Team and I want this to happen. And, man, I didn't realize it was like, kind of grimy like this.

Not that it's like snaky, but that's just the way like businesses dealt. I mean, like, so because COVID, right, it got rid of OTAs because I was going to not go to OTAs at all. Like, I was going to show up to any of it because they weren't doing my negotiations. But then they got, now I just got a little bit lucky because they got canceled. And like, I was like, I can't miss training camp.

Like, I'm going to play this year. And I can't miss like two weeks of training. camp here, Doug. So, like, you have to go, just don't do a lot. And I was like, I did a little bit of stuff here and there. And then we got it done like, I think, like seven days into that walkthrough phase two training camp. But like, yeah, I mean, there's just, there's a lot to go as to contract negotiates.

It's not a lot of fun. Best thing I ever heard, Richard Sherman told me it's like braces. It sucks the entire time. As soon as you get him off, you forget that you ever had them. I love that. And he's doing good now, too. I saw, he's a monster. I love him.

Amazon's paying him, but I don't know if the contract came out, but he's going on with their Thursday night football team. I don't know if it came out, but he's going to dominate it. He's a, he is such an intellectual. Dude, he is. Holy cow. He's a stud, man. Yeah, he was farm.

I'm talking about you talking about the short amount of time you get to play in the league because we were talking about it the other day because a lot of your stuff has went viral on you calling for, which I'm all about. I'll fucking hold the flag with you, brother. Oh, you're going to let me complain about something right now? What's up? You're going to let me complain about something right now? Absolutely.

You'll have the floor for sure. I can't wait. You just know the boys are behind you 100%. Whatever you talk about how short the lifespan is in the NFL. NFL, NFL stands for not for long. That's like a going thing around the, around the league. But calling for two by weeks, an extra buy week in a longer season in a 17-week season now. And you're out there in the streets taking a lot of backlash.

I am. People calling you soft and Charmin and this is this dude's a pussy. I would never have him on my team. Like, crazy. He sucks. He's weak. Yeah, I love it. You get a lot of shit.

Here's the benefits of it. So your best players, guys you want to see get an extra week of recovery throughout the season, right? And all it really does, if you add one more buy week, it just adds a week to the season. Super Bowl's on President's Day, which means Monday is off. So people are going to get even more rowdy on that Sunday. But like, like you give these guys an extra week. Week goes and season goes an extra, season goes an extra week, right? So that's just an extra week of TV deals.

It's an extra week of football games. Like, sure, there might be one more, like one less team playing one week. But at the grand scheme of things, who really cares? As long as there's an afternoon, a middle and an evening slot, people are going to watch it every single Sunday. Like, that's what you want to do. and if you can give guys one extra week, so if you have a buy week four and a buy week 12, I mean, that sounds really helpful to me.

Like, why not give guys a little bit of rest? I'm getting yelled at like, oh my gosh, you should try playing in an NBA season or an MLB season. Have you guys ever been hit by a safety when you cross the middle? Like, have you ever had Akeem Hicks sack you in the backfield? Like, have you ever been hit by a 350-pound grown man? No, none of those guys have. Dude, they're chilling.

Like, yeah, no, hey, and every sport- Load management during the season, too. Yeah, a lot of, you can't load management. in football. No, you're going. The games are too important. Every game matters. And yeah, so like, yeah, you don't have 81 chances, wherever longer that NBA season is, but like, you have 17 chances to secure a high seat in the playoffs so then you can play at home and it gives you your best chance of winning to the Super Bowl. And so, like, why not just give guys one extra week of rest? Makes sense to me. Oh, absolutely. I mean, what's the earliest by week this year? The times are on

the early one, aren't they? Week six? We had a week four by in 2019. It was brutal. That is the most brutal fucking thing. Oh my gosh. You got an early buy week. Oh, it was like, come on. So now we had to go and play 12 straight games. And then we luckily we were first one scene. I got a buy in the playoffs.

That was the greatest thing of all time. That also pissed me off the day. Like the two C doesn't get a buy now. Like, come on. You played the whole season and get that buy and now it's just gone. Fuck. Come on, guys. Let's see where you guys last year.

Six. Because you guys came back. You guys rallied in the back. half the year. Are you, dude, we had no business being in there. We lost the,

like, we had to play the Rams week 17, and we went in there and beat them. I have annoyed, like, we,

Debo was awesome. We had a rookie, Juan Jennings, uh, was he was second year at that point. John Jennings balled out. Like, like, we,

we won when we needed to. Jimmy G. G. let us on a game winning drive with like 40 seconds off or something like that. It was awesome. And we get into the playoffs. And it was fun too. I'm not throwing him on the bus,

but so in the pro bowl, we got, we had, we had, chirping, obviously. But he was just like, he was, I think he said he texted McVeigh, like, after we got in.

And he was like, are you guys kidding? Like, you couldn't just knock him out? Because no one wants to play the team that just runs the football every single play. And not to mention that, but has momentum going into the... You don't want to play the hot... You guys are like,

you're the end of the... Like, we're swinging on everybody. Oh, yeah. So, dude, dude, every week's, like, the entire team is just sore on Monday. Like, you just kind of sit there in your chair while you watch film like this. and then by Wednesday you're doing all right.

But everybody's feeling that. But like, yeah, our goal is to out punch the person in front of us, like, every single week. It's really fun. And you guys got Trent Williams. That motherfucker is. Dude, Trent's a king. He's a genetic freak, bro.

Like, playing with him on Washington, he would go to the YMCA and he would literally play bad, like when he played basketball, he would play beyond the three point line. Yeah. He's not playing down low. He's not playing in center. Like, he's the athlete on the perimeter. Yeah, he's incredible.

Windmill dunks, bro. Dude, I saw, um... Greatest athlete I've ever seen in person. I saw Trent Williams. This is an awesome, Trit Williams story. He, uh, he shows up to a Monday morning lift. And this is like, I think we, we had a night game and we flew back. I think we at home like at 3 or 4 a.m.

And we work out like at 12 the next day. And, uh, he shows up. And you like, you know, you can do what you kind of want to do on Mondays. You know, like lift, like sweat a little bit so you get the like, you know, the kinks out. But he just like, like, he got upset about something like they wanted him to do a little bit more. And he was like, okay, watch what I can do. And he gets under the squat, the squat rack bar, and he has 315 on it, reps it for 3, puts a plate on, reps it for 3, puts a plate on reps it for 3, puts a plate on

reps it for 3, gets up to like 615 to 650 or something like that. And we're like, hey, guy, like, you don't need to do that. The coach, like, you don't need to do that. And he looks at me, goes for sure, reps it for 10 times. 10 times, like over 600 pounds. I watch it live. 600, over 10 times. Like 10 times.

He watched it live. I watch it live. He racks it and it looks at and goes, I'm good, right? And he just walked out. I was like, you, Trent, dude, you do you, dog. The silver bag, bro, he is a fucking animal. Oh, yeah, no, Trill Williams is, he is the only, he's like the most one of one human being I've ever seen in my entire life. I agree with that.

Yeah, he's incredible. And he's also, he's fun as shit to have in the locker room. Dude, he is. He's so witty. If you, if you walk in with a tough fit on, like, you're getting drug. He'll roast you. He'll roast you. We have all these, like, we have a basketball hoop in there.

So, Trent's got a, he's, he can shoot, dude. he's got he just puts it right in the net every single time. We have like, have you seen that putter ball game that's going around? It's like beer pong, but for, this is a free plug.

Shout out you guys, send me a couple free ones. No free shout-us. But, yeah, it's like beer pong, but with you, it's a putting green, and you've got six holes on each end.

Such a blast, but I got some of those for the locker room and he kills people on that too. Just kills it. It's a fantastic game. He boxes as well. Oh, he's a monster.

I think he's got his own like, like team boxing. He also runs like a four, six, 40. And it's crazy. Like he's been in the game. I don't know how long.

I think he's going to year 13 maybe. Something like that. Sat out one year because he hated Washington, like sat out the entire year, missed all of that money just to get re-upped and just secure another bag. He's a monster. What's our next topic there, Will? Should we get in the tier talk? Oh, yeah.

Let's do a tier one real quick. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's do a tier one real quick. All right, Josh, here you go. So we got this segment called Tier Talk. Are you a video game guy? Love me some video games.

Okay. Cool. Now what we're going to do, is there's tier one, tier two, two, three. It's basically your top three. Favorite, your best video games of all time. Now, are we going to do, are we going to do an era? Are we just doing everything mixed together?

We just choose our best three games. Oh, dude, NFL streets on there? George and I were talking about this. I know George is a big video game as well. I don't want you to say in Subway football. I want you to say in Subway Football, 2006. Absolutely. We're very detailed.

Yeah, that's like, but I mean, what do you mean by era? I mean like, so like, are we going in 64, play? PlayStation 2 Xbox 1? Oh, cover it all. Are we just putting all the games? Yeah, cover it all. Your top three games. I'm going to try to pick a different system for every game.

Okay. That's what I'm going to do. But that is how we pick these games. Okay. So like you want to go first or you want me to go first? No, no, I don't want to go first. Now the Taylor's not here is my opportunity to go last. Oh, really?

Yep. All right. Tier 1. It's your number one game of all time. Please do not take it lightly. Yeah, I would say build it up. Build up the anticipation. No, I'm going to drop.

I'm going to drop it and just hanging out there. Halo 1, 2, 3? Halo 3 is my tier 1. I have months of hours logged on that game. It is my favorite game of all time. Incredible. I've played the campaign probably like 50, 60 times. I'm addicted.

It's all hell. Halo 3 specifically. I know people are like, oh, Halo 2. My first Xbox was Halo 3. So just cut me some slack guys, okay? I wasn't allowed to shoot guns when I was 13 years old. I'm sorry, it was 2007. Is the gaming culture really going to come at you like that?

Oh, dude. There, you guys, some of you guys are. toxic. For a favor. Oh, dude. Yeah, no. Josh, will you ask that, what camera's on Josh? This one, will you ask the camera to do you a favor? Cammo, will you do me a favor?

Thank you. That's all you guys out there. Do him a favor. Shut the fuck. Sorry, but Halo 3 is my tier one and that's for Xbox. Like, fun fact, also, I have every Halo Xbox console ever released. The original C-Thru Green Xbox, the Halo 3, Live Edition Xbox 360,

Halo Reach, Halo 4. I got the Halo 5, Xbox 1X. I got them all. And I'm going to have them all like a big glass case. Like, that's my shit. What's your tier two, brother? Tier two. Tier two,

we're going to go N64 Super Smash Bros. That's a good pick. Yeah, that's a great pick. Like, that was like one of the first video games I really got into. See, now, now this is, I want to, can I go like an A, B with N64? You can, if you, let me dabble a little bit. You can slip one in there. So just staying on that side of things, I would also throw in, like, Pokemon, uh, silver for the Game Boy,

because it's Nintendo. So those are back and forth And I'm sorry if I stole yours That's Game Boy, dude Oh, it's Nintendo But I said that changed That changed a lot of lives Oh, it did

It did And like, dude Those games are incredible My parents actually I'm like to step up Oh yeah, Snow Wars Are you doing all right?

Yeah, we're doing great Doing great Josh's, it's Josh's first day This is first time in Nashville First day ever in Nashville He's good Wow Well we can argue about Pokemon

Was that gonna be one of yours? No Oh, but so like because If you want me Some of the stuff, like open your eyes. That's why I get like fuck. If you want me to keep it in an N64, there's a little thing that you would put your Pokemon game into and then you could play it on the N64.

Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. Like the little game bar. Yeah, yeah. The little Game Boy extension. So those are like Super Smash and Pokemon. Yeah, that's up there for me. Josh is, he's doing great out there. Dude, I hope he's yakking.

That would be so funny. For the boys. And then my tier three, and this is going to throw some people for a loop. Like doing this. Oh, no, he's, that couch is probably really sweaty. Look around. Yeah, because I'm sweating. My legs are dripping sweat right now.

It's because we work out, bro. I really do apologize for interrupting your tier. No, that's all right. No, I'll just go fuck myself. Thanks, Will. What's your tier three? I'm going to throw people through a loop here. PlayStation 2, Jack and Daxter.

I don't know if you ever played that game. It's phenomenal. The whole series is fantastic, but like the first Jack and Daxter is one of my favorite games all time. I got big into video games because of that game. Pulled up, let the boy see it. I've never seen it. Oh, dude, it's phenomenal.

Do you remember Ratchet and Clank? Mm-mm. The boy doesn't even play video games. That's Jack and... That's Jack and Daxir. Crash Bandicoot? Oh, yeah. PlayStation 1.

Come on now. So Jack's the guy with the big ears, and Daxor's the orange dude, and he's on your shoulder basically the whole time. That's Jack. I think that's Jack, too. But, yeah, it's an absolute bless. You just go, like,

you have to collect these giant orbs that were, like, time travel you and stuff, and the boys back. You see it with, like... I told them, like, in my... I'll see you at times, like, doing this, and you kind of, like... And I feel myself sweating, so I'm like, I bet my man's kind of...

Yeah. You're going to open another one? Tier one for me. How about this? You want to start tier three and go up? No, you don't go for it. Tier three. Yeah, I'm going to go Tier three.

I love this. I'm going to go Tier 3. I'm kind of a basic gamer. Like, I didn't have the N64. I didn't have the Game Q. I was just kind of Xbox. Yeah. Xbox on.

I learned how to play football from football games. Madden and learned all the rules from there. But my tier three. three is NFL 2K5 with Theo on the cover. Oh, that's a great game. Build your house? Was that the ESF? That's the greatest.

Pulled up. Playing against Funkmaster Flex. Like, you could put your team in like cold tub recovery. If you like coached your team, you could like map out that one? That one? Is that the one that you played in the helmet?

Yes. Oh yeah, dude. I love that game. It's the greatest. A game of all the time still. Oh, dude, that game's so elite. Um, so that one's there. A nice shuttle pool.

Yeah, no, that was a great one. That's definitely, that's a great football game. Best. Tier 2. I've played a lot. I played a lot of Fortnite in college with the boys. Oh, such great. And then the building got out of hand.

And I know buildings now you can play without it. It's really fun. So I might have to hop back home. You should dabble again. But like, again, in college, I was like, boys get on. After our, we would go to the roach room, which was our food table. We got to go eat, get home, play about two hours of Fortnite. And then after 9 o'clock, half-priced apps at Applebee's.

Go cruise there. That boy's preaching right now. Wow. Tier one. That's really good. Boy's preaching. Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2. Oh, yeah.

It's a great job. I like that. That's your number one? Yeah, Modern Warfare 2 is pretty fire. Yeah. Playing Michael Myers with the boys. That was... Dude.

Yeah, so Modern Warfare 2 is my tier 3. Okay. Okay, for sure. That changed me a lot. They're wrong, but continue. Being a tier 3? But it's on the list, bro. It's the top of three.

I'm trying to give it a little bit of respect. because there are a lot of, there's a lot of hours, a lot of time, like you talk about with Halo, where you were just in the dorm rooms and you're just with the boys on the line. Did they have the skins? Yeah, what was it, red tiger, blue tiger? That's what was the modern word for it too, right? You're like, what did it call whenever you got past level 50 where you prestige? When people get like 10 time prestige, bro?

Did you 10 time? I never got the 10 time. I wasn't like, I mean, I wasn't like that on the game. I got the prestige, I think maybe twice. I had like a KD ratio of, I think it really. Respectable 1.24. Oh, good for you. Okay. Hey, you got more kills than you died. My tier two, man, this is tough now that you guys are bringing up some of these old school games. There's a lot of stuff running through my head right now.

Pokemon's a, it's a hard one to beat, don't. It is, but I think my tier two is going to be Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Okay. It's good too. I love that. The territories, the gang wars. I hope there's not. I know this is a good show, but. Fuck yeah. Deftato, San Andreas, I love that shit. And my tier one, and this is like, uh, this is an A, B, because it is the journey of it. There's a game one, and then there was a, there was a prequel made, but it is Red Red Red Dead Red Dead Redemption. Oh, yeah, for sure. Red Dead Red Dead Redemption

One and two, I live and die by that shit, bro. I hope they come out with another one. That's good. But the fact that they made a prequel to how, like, the gang formed, the Western forms and everything else, how they broke off, how there was bad blood and drama.

I thought the writing for that game was... You're playing a movie. Yes. Absolutely, bro. It's a fun game. Like, you pick Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead. I mean, those are pretty similar.

I know, I know. But the way you guys are bringing back to nostalgic games, it's kind of like, like Smash Bros. I think is incredible. But my personal favorite N64 game is 007, GoldenE. I was better. Do you know, they're remaking it. They're remaking it. I know.

It's going to be awesome. But what I think sucks about that is what I thought brought out the best in everybody in GoldenEye is that was like the first game to where you sat there and screen peaked. Oh, yeah. We're playing four players, you know what I mean, on the same screen? Where's that? You're looking at the street, always over here in the cage.

Wait, wait, so you're a big screen peeker guy? I was on a gold night. Yeah, for sure, dude. I'm never playing video games with you ever again. Bro, we got headsets and online now. You're never, like, in the same room playing with the boys unless you're playing like Smash Bros. I don't know.

I did, uh, what was it? Like two years ago, me and some buddies, we did a, uh, we hooked up like two Xbox. We had four V4, Halo 2 or Halo 3. We were playing that. Were you screen peeking? Oh, well, we had four guys on one TV and four guys on the other TV that were a team. That's amazing.

I think that shit is so cool. And you're like, hey, let's all come over to the house. Oh, dude. You're the local play? Oh, it's so much fun. Now, I will say, like, you would play one-on-one in person, like in Madden and stuff, and I would, I would screen peek. I would see the plays.

I'm learning a lot. You get a hold one of the buttons, though, and keep going. Yeah, yeah, you can hide it. Exactly. You can hide it. Did you play in Sable, did you play in Sable A all the time? That was, NCAA's head and shoulders above. You have a euro.

That was your favorite. favorite. For me it was 2006 race for the Heisman. You'd like go to a dorm room. Like do you do the drills to find out what star you would be like what type of recruit or how good you'd be. Oh, dude. The dynasty mode or the my player mode. What was it called? Roe glory. Yeah. Race for. Yeah. And just working your way up and like having to get points in practice. You would get maximum stats in high school, bro. Oh. Yeah. Like if you got I don't know if you guys remember like if you did the running back, you had to like avoid tackling dummies or you do the Oklahoma drill. And the only way to. get like a 90, like a 90 rating was to get 10 for 10. And I, if I didn't get 10 for 10, I would just, I would just restart it.

And then I'd go for 10 to 10 to 10 again. And I got, oh, do once you got it too, I would play that, I'd play that guy's whole career out every single time. I will say this. Instablay taught me what it meant to red shirt. I had no idea. I was like, oh, red shirt. I didn't know what a red shirt like junior was.

I was like, oh, that sounds cool. I'll make a red shirt junior. Yeah, they got like a little red jersey and their little photo. I was like, oh. And now that was like, that was dumb of you. You know, it was a good game mode that I think, we're forgetting is Madden when they had like the game mode where you would try and you would get like 10 chances at like running the ball.

Oh yeah. That was a blast. Seven on seven, but you would try and play all the play. You try to get the gold, silver and bronze. Yeah, minicamp. What year was that? Madden O'Four. With Vic, I think.

4. Is that 04? I mean, that's the best Madden. You were throwing through those rings too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's nothing better. Oh, dude.

Madd-th thousand seven, minicamp? Oh, dude. You'd have to tap for the 40-yard dash. You have to sit there and tap down. Oh, that was so difficult. The bench press, quarterback challenge, running back challenge. No, yeah, that game was a lead, dude. That was when, like, the hit stick was coming alive.

Oh, yeah. Look, it's so much fun. The running one in this game was funny because it's just, you have the bags and they move. Yeah. And then if you hit a bag, you just fall over. I was like, oh, that's not. Come on.

Always anybody in the back, Blas, I know your favorite player of all times on the bus right now. Does anybody have a question in the back? Because we got to do a segment with Jay Hold on Tideon U. Duquesan deodorant is made for guys who run hot boys You can't smell me but even though you're watching me right now But the boy I do run hot I sweat all the time If I get a little bit of caffeine in me

I get my anxiety spikes a little bit I will start pitting no matter what With Duquesan and they have dry ice The deodor is incredible What is it? Methanol Am I saying that right? One of their ingredients it's like it's like a glacier Sitting under your armpits throughout the day

I sort of got I feel it right now Right when you put it on it smells nice It feels nice throughout the day. But one of my favorite sense is that sandalwood Cologne. I take the sandalwood Cologne. If you could smell my wrist right now, if you could smell my neck, you'd want to take me right here on the bus.

But you can't. But the sandalwood Cologne is my favorite cologne. It's a little clear sprayer, spritzer thing that you can do. And they also have it in the big, big as brick of soap. They have phenomenal products. Go check the boys out. The big as brick of soap with the scrubber. And that was a big play by you guys, by the way.

Teach me about the lufa inside the scrubber. That was Taylor, yeah. That was a heady move because I don't even take the soap out of the, out of the little case now. I just scrub myself with it. It's insane. The cologne, the hairwash, the hairstyling, beard care. They got everything you need.

Check out Duke Cannon at any target or on Duke Cannon.com and use code Bussin for 15% off your first order. Guys, Duke, Cannon is not for clowns. Go get your shit now. Go get it everywhere. Oh, dude. Yeah, that was fun. Yeah, you guys did have a little bit of drama

with like a media guy. He told him he shouldn't be allowed in the building. Is he still allowed in the building? Oh, no. We're not saying his name. We're not giving any. Oh, I think the NFL does media pass and stuff like that. So like the Niners like, hey, we can't do anything about it.

And, you know, it just came to a point where he had been taking shots at a guy, Javon, who grew up homeless. He grew up having to use cold water for showers. He had to go to a faucet, not in his house to get water for a shower, like stuff like that. Like he had an unreal upbringing and made it to the NFL. And like, he got hurt. know, hit a knee thing and he hasn't been able to play, like, to the level that he wants to to play. He's a fantastic player, you know. And like throughout the whole season last year, he's on IR and he would like would tweet at him and just like shit on him. Like during the

season, like there's nothing he could do. And he'd be like, oh, hey, another week of like Javon Kenlin not playing or some shit like that. And it's just like, dude, come on. He gets out. Like, if you want to like, hey, George Killier, you got, you dropped the ball and you guys lost the game. Sure, dude, give me all the shit in the world for that. But don't go out of a guy that there's nothing he can do about his situation. He's trying every day to get healthy, like leave him alone. And so Kenlaas saw him and I had at the first OTA's open practice. Yeah, and he confronted him a little bit and kind of went off on social media and, um, I don't know, I think, you know, you never want to like, you never want to do something like that because, you know,

they'd always get to spawn and you look like, you know, like not a great person. But Ken Laugh's fantastic. He's, he's an incredible teammate. He's incredibly nice. And, um, you know, he just, he deals with shit different than I would. But, hey, that's the NFL. Guys come up from different. livelihoods and they deal shit differently and that's just what it is. And, you know, I think ultimately they got kind of ironed out and we're all right, but it is what it is. And that guy wants to take shots at players that can't participate. And that's what he wants to make his money off of.

Go for it, man. That's your cup of tea. George, you do a really good job, hyping the boys and it fires me up. Oh, dude. The second that you, like, lose the trust of your team, dude, like, there's nothing you can do to get that shit back, dude. So I hype up everybody 24-7. Ask me if I want Jimmy or Trey.

You want Jimmy or Trey? Dude, I love them both. It's crazy. everybody's fired up yeah i don't really know i'm sure blasts balls deep in that quarterback battle going on if it's even a battle but i'm not i wouldn't even be sure what to start on asking questions about tray or jimmy it's like what is tray he runs the ball more well no is one of the one of the best comparisons i ever heard of was that tray lance looks good in shorts and i was like you know how else look good in shorts josh allen did

he's not wrong so i know that was like his like he's like hey josh might want to come on the bus is that cool i'm like you know i'm playing it cool i'm like yeah because you know, we might be able to make some time. Humble brag, yeah. Yeah, humble brag. He's like, oh, he looks great in shorts. And I was like, I'm not sure what that means. What you meant by that at first?

He's not an AWL. No free shoutouts, but not an AWL. He's like, oh, I hate to say it, bro. I'm not a, I literally made a Josh Allen website. And it's a photo of him in shorts. It's incredible. You win with the boys? You big, you big, big cat.

PFT. Those guys are incredible. Dude, PFT is one of the smartest human beings I've ever been on. He really is. He really is. a fucking little genius, man. He really is. And Big Cat's comedy.

He's always like thinking two moves ahead of everything. He really is. I love when Big Cat tweets something too when it's wrong. Oh, yeah. Tweets out the, I've got five PS5. Sorry, guys, it wasn't my Twitter. Yeah, like you got hack.

Oh, my bad. I got PS5s. Oh, my goodness. It is the best, dude. Oh, all right. Last segment, we got a hype up tight on you. You got your boy in the back. Jeremy. Jay Holt.

Jay Holt. Is he in there? Do we flip a camera? Do we need to have them slip up? You switch and I'll go outside. Yeah, yeah. Give Josh a second. I might order an Uber for here, too, boys.

Oh, you're good, dude. Oh, bro. Appreciate you for coming home, man. Yes. Yes. Thank you, guys. Appreciate you, guys. Josh on the bus.

Hey, Garrett, if you could walk out and maybe just outside, take a photo of them, and then we just Photoshop them in with the photo. I'd be really funny. Yeah. Yeah. All right, guys. All right, brother.

I appreciate you, Josh. Make sure you get them in shorts. Oh, he's in shorts. I know. You got it, Josh. You did great. Hey, what a stud, man. I can't believe you.

asked him about the Chiefs game. Why? Does that go up there? Bro, that's some trauma, man. I thought you're for the boys. I wanted to, you know, you got to cover. Especially that one, because there's nothing

that he could have done better. I know. I wanted to, I wanted to ask him like, hey, so. How thirsty are you, Jeremy? Pro. I think was staring at me the whole time. I'm sorry.

I wanted to be like, let's just pretend there's no cameras in here. Who would you place the most blame moment in that game? I was just like, fuck with him, we can all laugh. But I was so, I couldn't get the gunslinger thing out of my fucking mouth on the duel. So I just went with like, talk about the end of the game. Oh, yeah, dude.

And then I remember the coin toss thing. He lost the coin toss. And to me, I feel like when you lose a coin toss, you're like, man, if I ought to just said fucking heads or like the opposite. Yeah. Like, we would have got the ball. But he changed the game. He changed the OT rules. I literally, he changed the game of football.

He changed the game of football. And you never know how that game would end it. Because I was, I was rooting against the chiefs. Like, I wanted the, I wanted the bills to win. Well, so a question for you, is the rule change good? Yeah, I think so. Both teams get a shot. At the end of the day, nobody can complain about the rule anymore.

Both teams get an opportunity. What I think shitty is like, you're just putting more football on the boys, because I think it's tough. But now. Tough. What's up? O.T. Yeah.

O.T is hard. Hard, bro. No question. There's no doubt. When we went along. Especially when you're a team. like you guys are tides where you guys is just fucking grind every play is physical like we played at cincinnati fourth quarter i burst my bursts sack in my knee like first quarter and i get a

catch into the game set up robbie misses it first game like first one he's ever missed before like with us he ended up like he won this packers game so not a big deal but then we had to go to o t and literally when i saw it didn't go in because i'm still on the sideline i was like like i don't know how many plays i got left guys like i need like i've hit my limit like i'm at 85 snaps right now guys like i don't know if i can get to 95 like uh let's slow down a little bit hey i had three catches on the final drive we won the game it is what it is but like still it's just like it is what it is i'm a monster i'm an animal but i mean that was a that was a really fun game they have bad turf though since i please get new turf Seattle please get new turf so i will ask you do you not think it's a good uh uh

rule i mean it's a rule like so i mean like just be like no no no no no this is just we're obviously the boys are just talking. Like, are you a fan of the rule change or no? I mean, like, like, we know it's the rule now. So, like, I get the whole, like, it's a coin toss and like that decides who wins. But like Cincinnati won the coin toss, they went down and kicked a field goal and then we went down and scored a touchdown. So yeah, yeah.

That's my thing. Like, it's a two-sided game. Like, I get that everybody now wants fancy football points. They want to see Josh Allen throw for 450 and then we see Patrick Mahomes throw for 450 and five touchdowns. That's what people want to see. But it's also a defensive game. right so now you're just giving both offenses opportunities when at the end of the end of the day our defense like nineers defense holds them to a field goal and then we go down and score like that's what off I mean that's what overtime is or you win the coin toss you house the kickoff return the game should be over like that's what it is like that's what overtime was and that's how I understood it and we've changed it and it's totally fine and like it's more football like sure okay I'm excited about it I have another opportunity to score so like yeah and you know what I bet you if I was on the other side of that but For sure. Terrible rule change it right now.

I totally see it from their side of this. I totally see that. But in reality, why don't we just do college rules, line it up with a 35 yard line and just go back and forth dog? Why not? Because you know what? It would be so much fun. You're in field goal range.

It's a 52-yard field goal. It's not easy. It's a hard field goal kick. Do you just go for the field goal or do you go for points? Like that's fun. And then you're getting guys that are like, hey, Josh Allen's going to throw for seven touchdowns because he went to overtime and he threw four touchdowns and four overtimes.

that's exciting. Oh, I agree. When we were talking about, that's what we need to do. We said the 50, so that way you're not just putting the team in field goal range. Oh, I said,

no, put them in, do put them in field range. I'm saying 50, you hold them like, you got to try and fucking. No, sure, something like that. And now you have the,

what is it, like the on side kick rule? Like, you can just go for it on fourth and 15. Is that a rule? Or is that just a tryout thing? Say that again? Which rule?

Can you, is that a rule now? I can't remember. I know it was talked about it. Like, instead of kicking an onside kick, you can like just take the ball on like fourth and 15 or something like that. Do you guys remember that? No.

They talked about it. Is it a rule? I can't remember. I'll probably doing the XFL. It wasn't overtime. It was just any time if you want to kick. Oh, we did it in the Pro Bowl. It was there.

He tested in the Pro Bowl. Yeah, because you can't do onside kick to me. No, you can. But I'm saying that it don't work. Hardly. Like I think like four work last year. One hit me in the face. I gave up one.

Whoops. That's not for the boys. They told me I was done. hear me out we're in Detroit we're up 30 points and we take out all of our starters they kept theirs in tough there's like eight minutes left yeah they get within two scores kicking on side and I literally like killer you're done like I cut off my tape you're chilling I get my tape is cut your shoulder pads are unstrapped I'm chilling and then they scored two touchdowns like kill you need to go back in and I said fuck you guys I was so like I checked out I thought oh dude I was so mad at them I

I was totally checked out. I was like, go back in? Yeah. My first place, dude, no lie. My first drive on offense,

I fall started. I was totally like, it's hard. When you check out, it is hard to get that switch flipped again. And I, because they're like, you're done.

Like, don't even worry about it. Like, take your shoes off, George. For sure, guys, I can't wait.

It was a great first game. Go, go Niners. Had that. And then they scored onside kick. Took a great balance. Like,

you can watch a clip. It's great balance. I went for it. probably should have held back, bounced off my face. We won the game. It is what it is, but I was just like,

wow, thanks guys for putting me in the worst position possible. Like, if you tell me I'm in the game still, yeah, it's a totally even mindset. And I might get torn apart

for like, oh, whoever check out of the game. When you get told you're done with something, you stop, like, come out. Right, especially when you're up 30. Yeah, go, we got in the bag.

And when they come at you say, hey, we need you on an allside kick. It's like, yeah, we're playing the most stressful. You're not going to pull this one off, boys. Oh, that they did. to fucking come back for real guys.

Oh, no, I mean, like, and like, hey, like, Hawkinson said at a great, like, they had, like, good enough players, especially when you put out, like, you take out all of your starters. Like, obviously, like, it's still an NFL football team. There's no one in the NFL that's terrible. Like, everybody can still win football games. Like, I don't care who you are. Like, everyone has a shot. Like, who was it?

I mean, dude, we were 0 and 9 my rookie season and then we beat two playoff teams going in. It wasn't, uh, Detroit all defeated until, like, the last week or two of the season. They win in their fucking. beat, I mean, Buffalo. It doesn't matter how bad you are. You could, any given Sunday is a real thing. Now, like, yes, there are better teams that win more Sundays than bad teams.

But it is. Like, if you don't show up, you can get your ass beat regardless. And so, like, there's always good teams in the NFL. So, but like I said, like, we were talking about OT or something like that. But I was just saying, we were talking about the OT rules. We're talking about outside kicks. And you played defense, too. Like, I didn't really, like, if you had a one, would you take the

rules back to what it was or would you are you happy with the rule change my wand would be played both sides you did it brilliant i'm really good at it but my want my wand would be 35 yard line or 40 yard line and just do college style but if you're going to go between like between the two that we have the bills and we need a headline so because it was what was it because it used to be if you scored it all so like a field goal won the game and they changed that and like i that world change made sense because i think if you scored touchdown you should win the game because you completed the whole length of the field. Man, I don't have an input on it until it happens to me.

And the next, when it does, when it does happen to me, I want you all to tweet at me and just completely crap on me. And that's totally fine. And I'll eat it. And I can't wait. We just need that clipper if anything happens with George. He can already back, I'll eat this, blah, blah, blah. Yeah.

But I do think, like, if you're standing, like, if you're the Buffalo bills and that game's going down the way it is. And then that's how it ends. You're like, motherfucker. If we would have won that coin toss, we'd have won that game. Yeah. If we would have shot on offense. The offense was dueling out there.

Okay. But then at the end of day, should your defense? Like stop. Somebody stop somebody. Yeah. I feel you. Shouldn't your defense? Like, that's what they get paid to do is to not let people score.

So, like, we're changing the rules. And like, Buffalo bills have a fantastic defense. I'm not shitting on you guys at all. And like, that's just how football games go. Like, there's game. Like, there's games that our offense scores three points in fucking 12 quarters. It just happens. Like, you go and that was a game that was fireworks.

And so, like, but in the day, like, defenses get paid to make stop. So it's like, here's where we're going to change the rules because that game, they didn't make stops. So that's just, I don't know. I like viewing it from both sides. Like, I think it's going to lead to more football, more points, more people. It's going to be a little bit more. Oh, dude, like the games are going to be even crazier now. Like, oh my gosh, they scored a touchdown.

Oh my gosh, they scored another touchdown. Yeah. Fantasy points. The over is going to hit. Like crazy. I don't bet. Now that I'm on the other. I do not.

Don't even. I'm good. But, like, it's still fun to watch that happen on Twitter. Now that I'm on the other side of it. It's like I'm with the extra OT, like add another game to your guys regular season. You're retired? Add it again. I'm not retired, but we only know I play at one point in the year.

What else? Playoffs. So if I get you on the Niners, you're going to make a fucking stop? Oh, without a question. You'd look good in red and gold, not going to lie. I would be so swagged out. Just pat Fred Warren on the bag. Oh, hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't you fucking get hurt either. Hey, can we do like a little Photoshop of the boys coming out to Super Grimlin? And Will's like in the front with the boom. box. That would be Will. Doug, I'm surprised, man. I love that.

And I, like, you know, we have some history together. You do. We have some history together. We, I'll put a good word in for the boy. Yeah, I'll put a good word in. Just see, just see what his temperature's at. His temperature is usually pretty hot, not going to lie.

Pretty hot as in. He'd be fired up to bring the boy in. He's fired up about everything. It's pretty fun. Yeah? Yeah, I like a lot. Yeah, he is awesome. Let's talk about, can we talk about the boy, though?

Yeah, yeah. We got to talk about tight in you. Obviously, because everybody's probably like, you know, who's my man sitting up here? We had Jeremy Holt. What is the- Josh Allen, everybody? No, this is, can I do the introduction? Please do it. All right.

So one of the main reasons I moved to the Nashville, Tennessee is because the guy's sitting right here. This is Jeremy Holt. He does my speed, my conditioning, my change direction, my routes. He helps me through the whole thing, my releases. You could pull up Thursday night football, 2019 against Arizona Cardinals. I ran a release that Jeremy and I worked on religiously throughout the entire offseason. But he's a guy that I was introduced to by Trent Taylor in Nashville after my rookie season. He fell in love with him.

His energy is infectious. Like you want to work harder every single day. You're like, I ain't got nothing left. And he's like, damn straight, you got everything left, dog. It's a great day to be here. Got this cheesy-ass smile on his face 24-7. And every single day, he drives me to be a better person and a better football player. And he also happens to be a fantastic father.

So this guy just checks all the boxes. He's incredible. He works with anyone from football players to pregnant moms to old dudes. He covers the whole thing and he's professional and loving, caring and energizing through each and every one. And now I will say, I don't know how he eats like candy and hostess cookies and cupcakes all the time genetics. But Jay Holtz one of the kind and he's one of the main reasons. I moved to Nashville for the boys. But yeah, everybody, Jeremy Hull, he's a king.

Buddy, that was a really good intro. That was a really good intro. I will give you a hug right now. Here's my guy. You guys want to hug? I will. You want to be in the middle? Oh,

I would like to watch. It'll be like, oh, no, we had to get him in the middle and it'll be a reverse Oreo. That shit's fire. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Let's talk about, Jeremy, welcome to the bus. Yeah, let's talk about Titan you. You had a phenomenal introduction, but what kind of role

is Jeremy playing in Titan? My guy Jeremy? Or if he wants to explain it. No, he can. But let's see. Jeremy does a lot of things. He trains a lot of guys. So, like, yeah, we'll talk about a little bit tight in you.

But, like, Jeremy's a very fast-in-game guy just because of the amount of people that he trains and who he trains. Just letting you know. So I'll set you up that you can ask that question later. But yeah, Jeremy, what are you doing at tight-in-you this year, man? So tight-in-you, basically, I am in charge of the drills that we do on the field. So after we get done with our stuff in the interview room, stuff in the locker room, stuff where we talk about, you know, everything from white boards, X's and O's, all that stuff that George and Greg and Trave are going to kill. And then you have guys like Mercedes and people who have played a long time that know that have forgotten more than we'll ever know from football drop knowledge on us.

Then we get to go outside and basically work on some drills that I'll cook up, some stuff getting in out of our breaks, working on all that stuff. And then we're also going to let George, Trave, and Greg teach them the game from a standpoint that I can't teach them from. And I think that's one of the biggest things that I've always been able to do is being around y'all and being an ex-athlete, understand. and that like, y'all have played the game longer than I have. So, like, for me to sit here and think that I'm the only person that can tell you stuff, yeah, do I watch and sit down and watch film and try to help you with stuff on Sundays? It helps him, yeah. But, like, at the same time, like, if I were to go out there and act like I'm the only one that knows stuff

and the only one that can tell him stuff, then at some point they're going to be like, I'm saying through this dude. Like, he's acting like he's all that. So it's honestly just a good opportunity for me to drop knowledge on them from a different standpoint because they don't get to spend a lot of time with me and we go from there i learn from them they learn from me we bounce ideas of each other and we all become better people yeah jeremy's got a hell of a perspective and it's like you got to be around people that view it different and it's nice because he works with wide receivers he works with dbs too so like he's coaching dbs and he can go hey george

this is what we worked on is dbs today so this is how you have to counter that type of coverage so like it's like it's like it's just really fun to be around something like that and it's also i don't know if he just pulls things out of his ass like our drills and stuff that he does but like he's always set up for like, hey, how much time do you got? You got 30 minutes? Okay, we're going to do ABC. Okay, you got 45 minutes. We had ABC DE. You got an hour?

We had this. And like, I don't know if he has it all planned out or not, but like everything goes, like you start off. Hey, we're going to work on a stick China Day, which is a stick and then an undercut back in. So you're going to be attacking the ball. And we'll spend the first like 10 minutes working on the stick route, working on that first cut.

They were going to, hey, we're going to do a drill where, hey, we're going to work on that return cut where you're planning back in and coming back towards the ball. I'm going to do that a couple times. they were going to put the whole route together. We're going to put the whole route together. And then we run it. Then he'll put cleats on and cover us sometimes just so we have a feeling of like man-to-man coverage

or it's a type of zone. You need to sit here. But like you just, you go through everything. So then you've done this route 30 times at whatever tempo you need to do it at. But then it becomes natural to you. So there's a method to do is madness.

And that's why one of the reasons I've always stayed with him. And you, you recruit a lot of guys or attract a lot of guys that come to Nashville to train in the offseason, whether it be around you at the barn, you get your hands on them because you guys are always doing routes. I mean, you do work with some defensive guys as well, but you always, like, attract tight ends, wide receivers,

guys around you to train around George Kittle. What type of, like, what type of clients, like what your roster looking like? Because you also train the boy Michael Chandler as well, correct? Yeah, I mean, we got a stacked roster. I got some good dudes that are great people, first and foremost, that I think we just all kind of attract to each other because great minds and great people tend to attract and go in the same crowd. So you got guys like Michael Chandler, Kevin Byer, Theo Vaughn.

I mean, the list goes on on, on Corey Davis. Hang on, hang on. Let's back up to the... Hey, I'm a fan of Theo Vaughn as well. But let's not act like we're in the category of, like, you know, like he's like an athlete. Like, he's like a pro athlete. So, like, what's the difference?

Like, what... How different is from training? It's a great mind. There's a weighted vest on me, he ran a couple of bleachers, you know what I'm saying? We're talking about elite athletes. He wanted to know Theo Vaughn and then? So what's the difference in like... Back up.

What's your, like, how's it different from? You're training George Kittle, Rob Tunyon, T.J. Hawkinson. There you go. And then you go to Michael Chandler and then you go to Theo Vaughn. Like, what is that? Because those are three different drills. I wish I had my phone me right now. That dude snapped on me the other day because he's like, bro, I'm not an athlete.

What are you doing? Theo? Because, bro, I didn't even register for your little bullshit camp. No, what's all I training him, though? I guess some of the difference in all those different dynamics. No, honestly, so for me, working with people from all different levels, I mean, that's what I do. That's what George spoke on.

It allows me to honestly have to step back and relate to people on different levels. And so when you're working with guys like George, Robbie T, TJ, who are the best of what they do at the highest level, I've got to literally sit down and look at them and think, how can I make them less than 1% better? Because they're already in the 1%. So how can I turn it? an elite athlete the best to do it, one of the best to do it, to an all-pro, to an all-timer.

And so you're looking at miniscule, super small things to fix and fine-tune and find ways to enhance their game. And like I said, my job is to subtract ego and add value. So when I've got guys like them, I've got to sit down and really, really digest what they're doing and pay attention and be on my P's and Q's with a Mike Chandler. I'm not going to sit there and act like I know anything about MMA, like from a standpoint of jujitsu or getting on the ground and wrestling. but what I do know is that being an athlete helps you more than it doesn't. And so if I can keep him explosive, keep him twitchy, keep him fast and quick in the Octagon, it's going to help him. And so I think you see that in his fights, he's able to, you know, kick the crap out of a dude.

Fucking do a backflip. The boy. While the dude. Just do a backflip. That motherfucker did four backflip. Or after he's been, you know, a full round. Yeah. So, you got stuff like that.

And then you go to a Theo Vaughan. All right. So it's boom, boom, boom. Then it's like, but did you go, did you go boom, boom, boom, boom. No, no, boom, boom. No, no, they do.

Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom. You trade somebody like an elite comedian. Yeah, or the moms that I have or anybody like that that come in and work out. Jack? It's honestly, it's about me relating to them, making them feel better,

making them be a better version of themselves when they leave. All right? Because everyone comes in and my job is to, if you haven't seen a smile and face, I'm that guy. You haven't had a great day up to that point. I'm that guy. Whatever you're dealing with,

whatever you're going through, leave it out there, come in, have a good hour. Yeah. Have a selfish hour to yourself where you can focus on you, become a better version of yourself,

and leave better than you can. And that's really what I try to do. And that's really my whole mantra. I think it's what I'm put on this earth to do is to help people become better versions of themselves. So people always like, bro, you just killed him. And I'm like,

I just killed that version of him. I'm not killing people. I'm just killing versions of people so we can become better versions of ourselves. Damn straight. And so I think that's what I love to do and why I wake up every single day, excited about going to work. Hey, I will say this. Like, so what's your pregnant ladies group, that 8 a.m.?

8 a.m. crush it. Bro. I promise you, those workouts they do? Those girls? Hey, I walk out because we usually, I usually train right after them. And they won off. They were doing stuff. I'm like, goodness.

Like, he had his wife doing it. And, but like, they have, besides her, because she's usually, like, swearing after you. She's a beast, but she'll swear at you. But, like, all those women have the biggest smiles on their face. and they're just so happy to be there. And Jeremy's sitting there, like, encourage him as they're carrying med balls over their heads and stuff like that. And it's just because he yells at them the same way he yells at me.

And I just, the consistency, like, you just see that every single day. And he does it with everybody. And it's just encouragement. Hey, we ought to be better at this. Hey, George, I didn't like your release. Hey, pregnant lady, A, you didn't hold the ball over your head high. And I'm like, come on, let's, let's be a little bit better, try a little bit harder. It's just very encouraging to everybody he works with.

Like, like you said, you walk in there, you could have, you could have gotten three hours of sleep that night. terrible night, your body hurts, and you see Jeremy's face, like, man, I'll be good today. It's going to be a great day. And you said you got it in touch with him through Trent Taylor? Yeah, literally, I came, I mean, I came down here on a whim and I said, Trent. You came down here on a whim, why? Because Trent's like, hey, come train with me?

So after my rookie season, we obviously didn't go to the playoffs that year, but we should, if we would have gotten in, that would have been hot that year. That was Jimmy G. was 5'0. We were hot. Beat the Titans, beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, who lost the NFC championship. We were good at the end of the year. start we're really tough. Right.

We were tough. But I'm pretty sure you're in Washington that 2017, right? Yeah. Yeah, you beat the boys. And then you and... That is true. Who was your guys as quarterback before Jimmy G? Well, no, it was Hoyer and then C.

So Harrier got benched in like the first quarter and then CJ came in. Yeah. And played really well. Right. Played really well. But then I'll never forget that game because I think it was you and, um, oh, Carrigan, you did a stone cold promo after the game. And I was like, fuck, those guys are so cool.

Beer, more beer. So anyway, sorry, but after my rookie season, we're sitting, I go home, because I was going to train at the University of Iowa, because it's free. Like, they have like five to six guys that NFL guys that train there every year. Marshall Yon had trained there his whole career. So it's like, obviously, well, it worked for him. Absolutely. Yeah. Okay, it might work for me.

And I sit down on my parent, like, I land, I go home and I'm sitting on my couch. I load out the window and it's negative 20 degrees. It's snowing sideways. Like, what the hell am I doing? Like, I don't want to live in Iowa. Like, I don't, I love Iowa. don't get me wrong, but winter sucks. It does.

Winter sucks. And been negative 20 degrees for like three weeks in a row. That's not fun. I don't want to wear three layers of sweatpants, a t-shirt, a hoodie, a jacket, and then a car hot on top of that. Like, I don't want to wear that every single day. I want to wear shorts and a t-shirt. Like, that's what I want to wear.

And so I looked at my girlfriend, now wife, Claire, and I was like, let's go somewhere different. And I had CJ Beatherton in Nashville, Trent Taylor in Nashville, both in the Niners. I was like, hey, do you like your trainers down there? And show's like, I got a great. speed guy. And then my old teammate Josh is not my strength coach. I think he does really good job. I was like, fuck it, let's go. And so I got an Airbnb in East Nashville and with Claire and our new puppy, Dini, who's, shout out Dini. She's a queen. She's the best. And I just fell in love with it.

This guy and, you know, Josh, they both helped me out tremendously for five years. It's been awesome. I love that. Now there's like a little vibe. I feel like in Nashville. Oh, man, I got Robbie T here. I got T.J. We got the boys are here, dog. You're here, too. Yeah, there we go. You're here too. You're here too. We're here because of you.

You were here, though, weren't you? When did you move here? Man, we moved here in 2000. I was here in 2018 for the season, and then we stayed in the office. So 2019. Oh, cool. So I was here.

I'm more Nashville than the boy himself. That's crazy. When did you get here? 2018. Yeah. Yeah, that's when I just first signed with the Titans. Let's go. I learned something today.

I thought you were here longer than that. No, man. That's crazy. I do love it here, though. Nashville's fucking awesome. It's such a fantastic city. This is my favorite thing about it. One of my favorite things is it's an incredible city.

But I love it because I love to hang out with my friends. And a lot of my friends are in Iowa or, you know, different, like my teammates and I are in different states and stuff like that. But Nashville, one, it's a desirable location to visit because it's Nashville, Tennessee. You have Broadway. You have the Preds. I mean, look at Josh. You saw he had to take off, man.

Josh would take off. It is a little stuff in the bus. It is. Definitely. If you were hung over right now, check that. Yeah. Check that. Yeah.

It's tough. but like so people want to come visit so like when I tell my college boys hey come to Nashville hang out with me for the weekend because it's easier for them to come to me than me to go places they're like oh yeah dude for sure I'll just make a week trip out of it sick you know me like I do that all the time with my friends and so like I love that about Nashville because people want to be here all the time

and also like they come for like let's just say I have family come down they might spend two days on Broadway and then come see me for one and that's awesome too and like there's just there's things to do here right where you don't have to sit there and host them more like, no, hold anybody's hand the entire time

while they're here. No, go to Broadway. Yeah, at the Broadway. Jeremy, before we get off this one, where can people find you?

Is it sliding your DMs? No, I'm terrible at texting. Jeremy, how many texts you got right now on your phone? I left my phone out there, 2,500 though,

probably. Dead serious. Yeah, don't fuck around. So he has 2,500 messages on his phone. The only way I get to hold to Jerry. I just follow Jeremy.

Well, okay. I got text from 2018. I would do people. should respond to those. I should just start back to the bottom. How do people find you, get a hold of you? Uh, text my wife. Well, this is the moment where you start to promote yourself right now.

You're supposed to promote, like your Instagram, everything. Humble brag, humble brag, humble puck. Like, I'm not giving her a number out like that, right? No, no, no, you don't have to do that. What's your Instagram? Like, you could have some young athletes that, like, maybe a parents listen. They're like, oh, I want to put so-and-so on you. You know what I'm saying?

I got you. You know what I'm trying to say. Well, I can give you my, I can give you the IG. I can give you the DM, but no what? I don't respond. It's not because I don't like you. I got you. I'm not trying to say that.

What's your IG, though? Jayholt underscore athlete. Yes, see, there it is. What's the brand? A.E. So if you're looking for me, if you're looking for getting better, faster, quicker, stronger, in any way, shape, or form, Twitter, J-hold underscore athlete,

Instagram, J-hold underscore athlete. That's where you can find me. I love that. Damn, that was bad. No, that's all right. That's what you got to do. Maybe we can cut out some of the noise, but I'm sitting here like, this is like, hey, bro, here, take it, run it.

This is a plug. This is like, hey, George, you know, how come, how come Titan Yu is doing what is doing this? You're like, who's helping you put on Titan You? Well, first off, you know, Charmin, Sharman's helping us out of tongue because you know what, Charmin loves its tight ends. Charmin loves covering your backside. So obviously they want to work with Titan University. And then you're going to go, well, you know, tight ends, they got to have their backside

covered, so why not throw in some Levi's jeans, right? Because now Levi's is a sponsor too. And you saw my bad, my, my awesome car out there. Yeah. I had to get some Bridgestone tires for that bad boy. Now shout out Bridgetown, you know, for hanging out with the boys too. And you know, what's better than hanging on, you know, hanging out in Nashville, Tennessee than with some crispy Bud Lights.

Shout up Bud Light. Thanks for the sponsorship. Now I got my four big sponsors out there. That's how you plug a sponsor. And that's all we're trying to do with you, Jay. And if a tight end wants to find Titan University and potentially participate, whether you're in college or NFL, where would they find Titan University? Instagram.

We're at T.E. underscore University. you are you going to always hit up me my marking team at Rubicon Sports you know the cool thing about Titan U this year I kind of talked about it really we have like 85 plus guys fun fact too I gotta keep shouting this out Mark Andrews good guy Mark Andrews can't come to Titan New but he flew his rookie down so he could come to Tideonew Nice I know I was like good for you I was like they Mark good on you dog what a nice guy What a nice guy you raving you

But my goal is and I kind of just and you guys can tell me if I'm wrong and this is my Marking team actually has no idea about this either and they help me put the whole thing on so They could be like, hey, George, maybe you don't announce that to the public yet. But this is, this is like down the line, hopefully next year. What I wanted to do, because I was talking to a couple guys and I was like, you know, do you ever like hear guys that are like in middle school and high school? I want to play tight end. Not really.

No, like I was a free safety wide receiver in high school. Like I didn't, I had two, three snaps of tied in my entire career of high school. So then I was like, well, because not a lot of guys want to play it, how many good tight in coaches are there in high school? And, you know, high school coaches, nothing against you. But like, not a lot of you guys have the experience. of, you know, Tideon University of guys that have played in the league for 10 plus years. I've been playing tight in for the last, what, six plus, I'm going on year 12 of playing a

tight end. Like, so I have a little bit of experience. But so my goal is, hopefully I can bring like maybe some college and tight end high school football coaches to Tideon you next year and have them sit in on meetings and learn how to coach and learn how to coach it the right way. And I think that'll be really cool because then you'll see kids in high school that actually know how to play Tide End that can then take steps forward and they'll be better in college.

because like dude I was a blank page in college I knew nothing about tight end they said hey if you don't learn out of run block you'll never play a snap in your life I said okay sure they didn't I never no one taught me a route no one taught me anything they're just like go run block and it took me while and they ended up coaching me

and like that was just more of I got thousands of nine on seven reps over my course of my career and that's why I am who I am today but like like there's just you need guys at younger stages to coach these kids and so that's what my goal is to bring like coaches the titan you and I think that'll be really cool coaches and tight ends

I love that, man. You are doing something really cool with the tight end. Oh, dude, it's going to be sick. You're going to have kids that, like, I want kids to say, you know what, I want to be, like, I want to be Greg Olson when I grow up. I want to be Travis Kelsey when I grow up. I want to be Gromk when I grew up. I want to be George Kill when I grow up.

Yeah, for sure. I'm not going to always say my name first. That's tough. I want to be Rob Tenney when I grow up. I want to be TJ Hawkins. Like, I want kids that would be like, I want to be a tight end because it's the coolest fucking football because you got to do everything that and no one else gets to do it. You got to throw the ball?

hey, we threw a touchdown on a Super Bowl. And all these guys make it look really fun and really cool. Oh, dude, it's so much fun. And the coolest thing about Tide-in, dude, everybody actually has everyone's best interest in mine. Like, it is a brotherhood. It really is, like, because we all deal with the same shit every day. You have the block guys that are bigger than you,

the outrun guys that are smaller and faster than you. And you get to have a fun time doing it. And that's just what being a Tidon's all about. And so, like, every Tidon experience is the same thing. And that's why Tidon you work so well, because everyone's actually like, I can't wait to go listen to Travis Kelsey talk about leverage of safety on him

and why he breaks out the way he breaks out. I can't wait to hear about it. Because you learn a little bit every single time you listen to somebody talk. What juice me up now? Hey, hey. I'm not sure. I'm not. See?

Dude, hey. And you got to. Hey, could I get a couple of routes in on Thursday? Oh, for sure, dude. You got to sign a waiver, though. I can jump in a couple of his rules. Bro, I'm in wait. If you pull a hammy, I ain't liable for it, dog.

Brother, I am a liability. He's good. In shape. Hang on now. We talked about number one, I am in shape. However, I watched, uh, I watched, uh, got my, uh, I got motivated by one of Michael Chandler's workout of the day videos. Ooh.

Boy's a gangster. He is. Disking my back last Tuesday. Set two, doing the hurdle hops. I did the med ball toss one. Besides, you can't have five reps. Jog over to the hurdles. Jump over the hurdles.

Yeah. Now I push your pot for 20 yards. Do like five rounds rest a minute in between. Perfect. Second set. Over the third hurdle. Over the hurdles? Yeah.

Slipped it. Oh. One of three hurdles. Right now. I mean, when I get up, it's going to, it's going to, it's going to hurt. Well, my ass I is pretty fucked up from it. Yeah.

Okay. Well, you know, we can fix that. I will sign the waiver so that way you're not liable for me. Hey, side note, uh, Titan U, I have, um, give me a sec. I got one, two, three, four. I think I have like 14 physical therapists coming to Titan you to work on tight ends. Is Jorge coming? Jorge, and Jorge.

That's why I need to see. That's what I need to see. The boy Jorge works at resilient. He is the man. Resilient health and performance. It's in Brentwood, Tennessee. I do all my rehab and recovery there. Everything is with him.

He's a G. Well, I mean, his name's Jorge. I'm Jorge. He's George. I'm George. Obviously, he's a cool guy. But his whole team's coming up. I'm flying in two of my favorite specialists from California that I work with 24th, like during the season, acupuncturist and a fascist specialist. And I got everything, dog. You got it all, bro. I do love it. And Jorge is a beast. Like, I popped my hammie last year and he had me ready to go on the celebrity softball game in eight days. You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That shit was a little tight, though, when I was running for them fly ball. But I was right. He got, Jorge got me right. He's good at what he does. He really is. Do we have anything else, boys?

It's like a 30-minute drive for me. That's easy. Yeah. We get a little co-hosting. Are you ever going to come left at the barn? Yeah. I'm going to remember when you told me you were going to come. You're going to come

left at the barn, you never did. No, that's not true. You were telling me to come out there and there was a part of me, I didn't want to disrespect. What are you having going on? Aren't you the boy? Are you the boy? I'm the boy, but it's one of those things where you come out in a culture that you

guys have and like, I don't want to cut, like, if something on my schedule. Are you not good culture? Oh, I'm great culture. I'm all camaraderie, baby. But what I'm saying is like, it's an NFL, it's an NFL off season, dude. You're not going to let me talk. No, I'm not going to let you talk. It's right here on the bus with me.

Dude, no, it's true because I know what you're going to say. like, oh, like, I'm going to have stuff come up. I'm not going to be able to be there consistently. I'm going to show up, like, one day a week, maybe two days a week. It's an NFL off season, dog. Yeah, but you don't think I'm busy? You got a culture around you. Like, I'm not trying to just come in, banter, lift hard with the boys,

and then everybody's like, yo, where's combat? It is what I mean. And then you just pop in whenever you want to take advantage of what you got to go and the boys busy, dog. You're not taking advantage. You can pay me, fine. You can pay me, fine. You can pay me to work out the barn.
