Bussin' With The Boys - Michigan Sign Stealing Scandal + Delanie Walker On What The Titans Should Do With Will Levis

Episode Date: October 31, 2023

Recorded: October 30th 2023 | Welcome to the final day of Spooktober, and there is no other way to celebrate this special day than with the boys dressed up on the bus. Will and Taylor are joined by th...e Mule himself, Delanie Walker. The boys are all dressed up, embracing the spook, including the back of the bus. We start off the episode with each person describing who they are dressed up as, some took it more serious than others. Following that, the boys immediately get into the scandal that is surrounding the Michigan football program. Will has gone down a bit of a wormhole on the topic so he comes strapped up with a lot of incriminating information. The whole situation in itself is crazy, especially once Will lays out all of the information. Taylor is standing ten toes on that Michigan hasn't done anything wrong and that this is all a part of the game which seems like a bit of a stretch. Following the Michigan talk, the boys get into the NFL action that happened over the weekend. Starting with Will Levis who absolutely went off in his first start against the Falcons. The guys think he should be handed the keys and take over the starting job. Delanie brings up the point of possibly trading Ryan Tannehill to the Vikings because of the unfortunate injury to Kirk Cousins (T's and P's to the boy). They get in depth into what the rest of the might look like for the Titans and what their future could be with Levis taking the helm. Finally the boys end the pod with some Tier Talk and the shittiest question. This pod is nothing but good vibes and then becomes hilarious once you realize that everyone is dressed up. Enjoy and thank you guys for embracing the Spook with us all month! 2:28 Happy Halloween!! 13:30 Michigan Scandal 35:40 Is Nebraska back? 43:15 Down season for the Gamecocks 51:25 The Good from the past weekend 58:00 Is Will Levis the answer in Tennessee? 1:09:50 Delanie's stories from Central Missouri 1:16:50 The Bad from the weekend 1:19:33 Overly Direct Take 1:30:15 The Ugly from the weekend 1:38:55 Twisted question 1:53:43 Tier Talk 2:10:20 Shittiest MomentFor more, visit barstool.link/bussinwtbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Starting point is 00:06:55 After last week has unfolded, hey, run, run, run. Check run. It's going to be a run. After last week has unfolded, I thought it was a great time to break out, put the use of Michigan jersey that they made for me. I got the wrist coaches on. It says, look at coach.
Starting point is 00:07:11 The other one says it's either run or pass. I got the little tape over here, asterisk 7-0. Scully, yeah, I got the cleats on. I'm a Michigan football. You went all out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should have called me. I would have brought my helmet for you.
Starting point is 00:07:25 I didn't want you to know until you saw me. And I saw it. I literally thought to myself, I know Will's going to do some bullshit. Are we past five minutes? Okay, I knew Will's going to do some bullshit. That is fucking crazy. That's what we should dive into right now. College football?
Starting point is 00:07:39 Michigan, Wolverines. Them under, them under absolute huge. heat with all these allegations. I think the outside world thinks they're in heat. I don't think there are at all. You know what happened this weekend? Then boys went out to Ricks. Those boys went out to Skeeps.
Starting point is 00:07:51 They went to the brown jug. They got good and toasty over the weekend. Woke up on Sunday with a hangover. And right now, on this Monday, when you guys are watching this Tuesday, they're getting after it, ready to go wait and now. They can care less. They can care less about what the outside world is saying. Yeah, if you're a player, you have to, you got to control what you can control.
Starting point is 00:08:08 But I'm talking about from the investigation going on. I mean, that's a, that's a massive scandal. How serious is that investigation? We got to get the mask off. People are going to be listening in the cards. This is the most scary thing. Look at his face. I got a picture of Quentin Nelson, or Quentin, Spain.
Starting point is 00:08:28 And one of those little, we were playing in Chicago, and he had one of those things on, just squishing the face big time. Oh, face is squished right now. The face is squished. You're going to pass out. Was it hot in that? It's not that hot in this one.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I had other ones that was crazy. I couldn't even remove the face. so that's why I didn't even break it. You know what I'm. You got a Hollywood-style master. Oh, yeah, this is straight up Hollywood. I'm really into this spook-tober stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I'm really. I love that you're so into it. What was the number one thing you did in Spook-Tover? Then we will absolutely get into Michigan. I apologize. Say what? What was the number one thing you did in Spook-tover? Mike, to your face.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Yeah, I'm trying to think before I talk. Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. Man, we're actually about to go to a hunted house tonight. So we haven't been able to do that. I've been ripping and running and doing all type of crazy stuff, but tonight is the night.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I'm about to go crazy, so I'm excited for it. Which one are you going to? What is the... There's a Devil's Dungeon. It's in Madison. The one we're going to is in Madison. Oh, really? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:09:26 It's like a... What's it called? Yes, yes. That's a good one. That's a really good one. The theatrics of that one is really good. But scary-wise, Beast House, Devil's Dungeon,
Starting point is 00:09:37 and then that one we went to a couple years ago with the big three. I know. I can't remember the name. She looked it up and she told me about it on our way back from going to Devil's Dungeon. And I was like, that is the place. Because it's got the movie theater in it. Yeah. And that was my favorite.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Yeah. That was my favorite. Yes, with the tattoo shop. The tattoo shop in it. The movie theater. The big three involved in that one. There's like a lady standing out there with an anaconda over her neck too. And that messes me out.
Starting point is 00:10:02 That's my biggest fear of snakes. It messes me up big time. Yeah. Yeah, the big, yeah, the Michael Myers part. I mean, those are, when you're hitting those, that's a lot of fun. But yeah, we went to Devil's Dungeon on Friday, right? Solid. That was a good.
Starting point is 00:10:15 It was a nice one. Right. Yeah. Good fright. Oh, we had Mitch and G. With us, too. We did a little vlog for it for Spooktober, which will be coming out. I think today, right?
Starting point is 00:10:23 We'll be coming out today, which is really cool. Dog, there were a couple of jump scares. I got one early, like right in the beginning. Right out of the gate. Right out of the gate. Because usually I like to, like, pretend to be scared. Yeah. So then it tricks myself into being actually scared.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Legit, they just got me from the get-go. Wow. That was the second time I went to one that month. Caught in just a middle of a scream yelling. Taylor like thruster of forward. Like, save your... I'm out of here. Self-preservation mode.
Starting point is 00:10:51 But it was a good first friend for nothing. But you'd want to get me into the wall at one time. There's a maze at Devil's Dungeon, and I'm right behind Willie. It's pitch black. Like, the only lighting we had is Garrett is in the back filming it. So you saw a little bit. So around like every turn. of the maze, you could, like, see a little bit of something, like a shadow went by with a dude
Starting point is 00:11:15 with the hammer. I'm like, man, they're about to get us at some point. But everybody's like, there was nobody with the hammer. I'm like, oh, this, we're literally about to get killed. You guys are going to act like I'm delusional seeing like a haunted house guy running around with a hammer. Classic horror movie. Yeah. Classic horror movie. Oh, well, you're always playing. You're always playing around. You haunted house? Yeah, yeah. And this dude gets me, obviously, and I, like, jump back and there's like a wall right there because it's small. Like, you're in this You're in the little tunnels, yeah. Get around.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yes, bro. But they listen to, they kind of listen to see who they want to scare. Because you notice they'll kind of go past you sometime to scare the person who's always screaming. Yeah. So I try to be like. Or they get patient. They see who didn't get very scared. And then they'll get patient and try to come up behind them, like later.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then you always got a tip of the cap to the chainsaw at the end. Man, I just get scared because I don't know if it's real or not. That's the only problem. Like, is the shit real? Like, really let this dude. start a chainsaw in this place?
Starting point is 00:12:12 I'm like, dude, get away from me. I will knock you out. My buddy that came with us, Tanner Tickina, he's like, yo, what if the guy with the chainsaw actually put a chain on it and just attacked us? And literally, I'm like, that'd be crazy. It can happen. How would a massacre?
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah, literally, he'd go to jail. Yeah. Yeah, and we'd be dead. He'd probably kill himself first. You think so? Yeah. If he's, yeah, master slaughters people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I mean, you probably want to kill yourself after that. And we probably won't even think. We'll be like, this is fake. This is so real. Yeah, ha-ha, get me. Yeah. How did they do it? How are you playing into that with them?
Starting point is 00:12:47 That's unbelievable. He must have been here early. Yeah, dude, spook-tobred. Oh, the trick-or-treating out there. I feel bad for the people, like the kids that are between 17 and, like, really college. Because I feel like at that point, everyone's thinking, oh, trick-or-treating is not cool. And then we get to have kids and legit go out there and relive trick-or-treating, which is the best. And teaching our kids to do it.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Like, I can't wait for Roos. She's gonna, it'll be her first time. She's not really gonna, she's not gonna know it all. But it's gonna be fun. She's a, she's boo from Monsters Inc. I'm Sully, Charo is Mike. How you say his last name? Was Alasky?
Starting point is 00:13:22 Was Alask. Yeah, big drop by me. Um, but yeah, we got a little family costume thing going on. So it's gonna be fun, like taking around trick or treat. I did see it this weekend. It's awesome. The zip up dad, onesie is truly the move.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I was gonna wear it on this, but I was, was sweating so badly at that Halloween party where I was like, I can't just be on the bus for an hour and a half for 90 minutes. Just sweating my ass off. You just sweating your ass off. It would be funny if I'm just sitting here in the Sully Coss, the Sully Onesie just the entire time. Truly dripping. I like this costume a whole lot more. No, I thought of this last night, honestly. Like I was trying to put like a scouting coach one together. Like the dude, Conner, Stalions or whatever, like on the sideline. I try to put like the Michigan fit together. And nothing was like
Starting point is 00:14:08 readily available in store, like what I wanted, like that patented Michigan hat that Harbaugh and all those boys wear. And then like the sweater and everything else. But I was like, you know what? They did make that Michigan jersey. I was like, I can rock that. I went to Dix this morning at like right when it opened 9 o'clock, went in there, spent about $120 just on all of this shit. Got look at coach, either run or pass. You said that. You already said that. It's all that. It's asterisk 7 and 0. Yeah, we, yep. I got the cleats on. I feel like you could have got a hardball outfit at Walmart. He literally shops there.
Starting point is 00:14:43 He easily could have done that. I could have definitely found the glasses, but the hat, it was the sweater that was going to be the hard part because I was trying to search everywhere. Like pick up in stock, like pick up, you know, curbside. And nobody had like, pass, pass. Sorry, he held up the time. You got to know what it is. Use it to your advantage. Hey, but for real.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Let's get into it. Let's jump into that. I mean, that's massive news. Like, I know we're going to play, like, I'm going to do my fun little stuff. I know you're going to play the boys. You're doing fun little stuff. Like, you've been pretty over the top about it. You've been pretty over the top.
Starting point is 00:15:16 But I got you my good to bed. The other. You don't worry. What do you mean over the top? You know. Number one, this is one of the biggest college. This, if all of this is true, this would be one of the biggest scandals in college football history. So it doesn't, like, whatever team is happening on, like, yeah, you're, you're my boy and it's happened to be Michigan.
Starting point is 00:15:35 But this is, if you don't. take, if you don't have, you know, all those kind of opinions and fun takes and everything else on the internet, like, you're just, you're missing out. You've got to get in on that kind of action. What happened over the past weekend, the developments? You know, the boys had a busy weekend. Just more, like more of the stories come out. So I want to say, I don't know how everything is unfold throughout the week, but you start off, you figure out that this Conor Sallion's this cat who from the age of 16 wanted to be a Michigan Wolverine coach and realized going to school, he wasn't going to be able to, maybe he didn't think he could become a coach like going through the GA
Starting point is 00:16:08 mode of Michigan. So then he ends up going to the Naval Academy becomes a Marine, but he's also a GA on staff to kind of probably learn the ins and outs of being a coach. So that way he could bring something to the table once he does go to Michigan. All this time, he's getting, you know, he's watching TV copies, things that we're all aware of. He's watching all this stuff to provide to show the value that he could bring as a Michigan GA. Like, hey, I'll do whatever it takes. Like, this is a guy who was born and wanted to be a Michigan Wolverine, like for the rest of time. They only pay him $55,000. Like, he's on a small salary.
Starting point is 00:16:38 And when he did that, he has this 550 to 600 page Michigan Manifesto, which is biblical, by the way. Like, that is awesome. But at the same time, like, for the story, he has, like, this 600 page book that he calls the Michigan manifesto to show how Michigan's going to take over college football for, like, the next 15, 20 years, right? Yeah. So in the last few years, as everybody's learning. to know he's been buying or he's been taking like whether it's other Michigan GAs or other guys used to coach with or guys he used to know he would buy them tickets like on the 40 yard line across
Starting point is 00:17:12 from every team to all of like the conference games for like the last few years or whatever it's been 30 games over with 15 teams or 11 teams and basically those people would just hold up their phone and record the sideline the entire time and he would do all of the basically scouting to get all the signals all of that. everything dialed in. Like, you saw that play with Ohio State where they, you know, they looked at the sideline. Then everybody, the entire sideline knows, like, hey, Abbas is coming. They're pointing up.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah, they're like pointing up. But what's different from them going to a game watching the calls than doing it on the film? It's still the same thing. The eye, this guy doesn't change. You can see that on regular film, too. I'm with you. And so as this is, like, unfolded, like, now things are conspiracies. There's some theories coming out there that this dude is so dialed in, like this manifesto is so dialed.
Starting point is 00:18:00 in that say they potentially lost Ohio State last year. They'd be a one-loss Michigan team on the outside looking in along with Clemson, along with Tennessee, and other teams that could potentially get into the college football playoff. This thing could potentially, this is allegation. This is all allegedly. You're having fun right now. Yeah, I'm having fun right now.
Starting point is 00:18:18 But allegedly, Michigan then gets in touch with South Carolina. South Carolina, this happens the weeks of Tennessee and then the next week, Clemson, South Carolina the week before puts up six points on a four-loss shitty Florida team. The next week they hang 60 plus on Tennessee. Then they go and beat Clemson who they hadn't beaten. I don't know how long. What was it? Wasn't for you.
Starting point is 00:18:43 But I think like the 10-year, anyway, they beat Clemson to make sure that they can't get in. And I'm not playing. There are pokes of fun that I could have that I would enjoy having with JP too. But I am just like leaning into all of these theories. Like, that is insane. And just big brain competitive awareness going on at the same time. Because you've got to respect the lengths that this, that this Connercat has been willing to go allegedly for Michigan. If all of this stuff is true, that is bad news for Michigan.
Starting point is 00:19:18 You just saw Michigan pulled their offer to make a hardball the highest paid coach in college football. They pulled it. They, like, he does not have that on the table right now. They're also saying that the NFL, there's some stuff going on, a conversation going on saying that the NFL isn't going to be his safe haven for after the season. Like, they might get involved. So just knowing that all these legal aspects are kind of moving right now.
Starting point is 00:19:38 With the NFL might get involved? How would the NFL get involved in a different affair? Not getting involved, but be like, Jim can't leave, just leave Michigan and bounce after a scandal goes down like that. Like that's, because Harbaugh, if you're Harbaugh, in my opinion, just had absolutely zero clue about this whole thing. Harbaugh, in my opinion, this all comes out, right? You're bouncing going to the NFL.
Starting point is 00:19:55 You ain't got time, though. Michigan could be looking at something as severe as the death penalty. No. There's no fucking way. No way. Or something similar to Ohio State where they were not allowed to play in the postseason as early as this year. Like, that's how much they can fast track this. That won't happen.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Man, I feel like they got something against Marball. That's what's up in the air right now. So if you're Harbaugh and those things go down, like, you ain't got time for that. You're going to go to the big league. Right. And so you're saying that Harball has said, they put, something in place with hardball can't bounce. Like, hey, we're going to put nothing in place.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I'm saying the conversation thing, I think, is real right now. Like, they pulled his contract to make him the highest paid coach in college football. But the things with the NFL, those are just conversations right now. Like, the NFL could step in and back, all this isn't going to be hard balls like, you know, plan B if all this goes down because, you know, if that happens, like, that's a very bad look. Yeah, but the NFL, the NFL wouldn't do that. Why, they have, they don't have zero reason to go to that. Pete Carroll essentially did.
Starting point is 00:20:55 the same exact thing. Or they're paying players, just like the SEC does every single year for as long as time. But the Pac-12 and the Big 10 starts to do it, and all of a sudden it becomes an issue. That's fair. But Pete Carroll bounced to Seattle in, what, 2010?
Starting point is 00:21:07 What? I mean, you don't think that that could be, like, since Pete Carroll got to do it? You don't think Jim Harbaugh could get to do it? Man, I don't... Literally, all the allegations and all this stuff were coming out about Pete Carroll, and Pete Carroll goes, okay, I'm going to go to Seattle.
Starting point is 00:21:22 That's true. Yeah, that happened. But I will say this. don't think, I think this is all going to come out as a big witch hunt. I don't think this is going to be, you can't buy tickets to a game. You can't use the game time app and go get tickets for a game. That makes zero sense. It's not the real.
Starting point is 00:21:36 If you're going to scout Tennessee and Clemson and then you're not going to scout TCU, an article came out. They scout Clemson and Tennessee, but they didn't scout TCU. Another article, another article came out that TCU knew that they did that and they had some dummy stuff in there. So that way they could get them off the back. like college. You see about 10 dudes going upside.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Everyone's just working together. Meanwhile, all these out of Big Ten conference guys are like, yeah, we had a thought. We felt a CJ Stroud not being a Bay 10 guy. He's like, yeah, we thought maybe. CJ Stroud just feels bad. You could hear the saltiness last week on the podcast saying that's one of his biggest regrets is not beating Michigan. Like, of course, he's going to say whatever he's going to have to do.
Starting point is 00:22:16 But. CBS Sports. All of a sudden, all of the SEC, oh, we knew about it. The Big 12. Oh, we knew about it. that is that's a witch hunt dude what do you mean that's a big 12 these are just certain coaches yeah we knew about it but you look at all the coaches in the big 10 Matt rule literally goes I don't know anything which you should probably unpack that in a little bit I don't know anything
Starting point is 00:22:37 that's a good ball club the Minnesota coach doubled down after we spanked Minnesota and said that's the best football team top to bottom in the entire country and when because they were playing Michigan state and they go you got to throw that film out the window goes no one's Michigan right now nobody's no question yeah no one's Michigan you do the best team in the all of college football. Yeah. Then in the beginning of the year, my boys in the back, the media, everyone's saying, Michigan's got the easiest schedule.
Starting point is 00:23:01 They shouldn't be ranked number two. They shouldn't blow a ball. They're not as good as everyone says they are. Now we're seven and no and we're covering spreads ever since Jim Harbaugh came back. And now there's a whole bunch of problems. Now, everybody wants to say there's a thing. Oh, he's been scouting. He's not that good.
Starting point is 00:23:13 He did this. He crushed at Stanford. He crushed at the Niners. At the Niners. At the Niners. He'd do this. You played with him. I know.
Starting point is 00:23:20 So I got a question for you. Do you, does knowing Harbaugh, knowing the guy he is, coming to the locker room, throwing a dipping with the boys, talking to the squad, is he the type of cat that would go and do this? Nah, I just don't see that happening. I really don't see him doing anything like that. And I get it. I love the guy, but be honest with you, he's not that kind of coach. He got the team. If he know he got a good team, he know he can beat you straight out.
Starting point is 00:23:44 I feel like he's so paranoid. He the one, like, doing all the trick, dummy calls and all of that stuff because he always felt like people was. watching us. We used to go outside of this town's practice before we played the game hard. The competitive edge that every coach looks for is alive and well across the board. But like you're going to these lengths. Like yeah, you ultimately you get caught cheating, right? You just get caught cheating. Like everybody speeds and everybody goes
Starting point is 00:24:10 200 miles an hour. Yeah, yeah, of course. You know what I mean? Like I understand the reference you're saying. But I don't get any cheat. I get with, yeah. Okay. So, so teams were because most of this is Big Ten schedule. right but big 10 teams let's look at how they've played when they face the team when they get into the playoffs tc u lost georgia lost they don't beat them let's look at the year where they have zero fans in the stands covid they go two and four like now that they have this this cat doing the whole manifesto thing and people are allowed to be in stands like yes their record like
Starting point is 00:24:41 all of this stuff isn't just like throwing darts at the wall and hoping this sticks look up uh was the guy's named stallions i'm pretty sure he's been a part of the university of michigan since Before Jim was there. No, right when Jim first got there, but all the COVID stuff he's talking about when they weren't playing well, all of a sudden, right when they weren't playing well because they didn't have the players.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Because they didn't, because they were... But you also don't have the guys to go buy a ticket to the seats. They had Brady Hokes recruits. They had Brady Hokes recruits. Now he's got guys in. He's got four or five star guys, and he can develop players. Look at Delaney.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Core four special teams guys. I don't about developing NFL players. Look at you. Yeah, this ain't developed. This is a dog. This is Godgiven. What you mean? Exactly why you had to be developed.
Starting point is 00:25:25 That's your body. Bob Polini at college. Doug, you had to be developed. You had to be, like, there were in the NFL in there. Yes. You see you can't develop players in the NFL? Doug, look at, you can't develop. They're talking about to play side in.
Starting point is 00:25:40 I think a better football player the longer I was in the NFL. Taylor, so I developed more. Shout out, shout out the NFL strength and conditioning programs then. Like, that's ultimately, that's the, that's development. That's the office season. Everybody leaves in the all season. go develop themselves outside the team. You're talking about different coaches.
Starting point is 00:25:56 You're talking about a strength condition of coach. I'm talking about coaches developing players on the field. When you came from Nebraska, listen, this is not a shot. You were undrafted and you were able through the development you had and the work ethic to get better and stay in the league for people are saying eight years, people are saying 11 years. We really don't know, but we know it was longer than the average of two years. because you had to go through a development stage. I came in the league.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I was a first round draft pick. My first year, I was better my second year than I was my first. I was better my third year than I was in my second. So what are we talking about? That's development. That's learning new techniques. That's being coached a certain way. Harbaugh does a phenomenal job of developing these children coming out of high school going to college.
Starting point is 00:26:42 That's why they're winning these games. That's why they're covering all of these games. You want to be upset because we put 45 up. on Nebraska. I get it. I know you feel like this is a personal attack. It's not a personal attack. I get it.
Starting point is 00:26:58 You're being a bad friend and we can impact that every single week because things need to get figured out. But I'm talking about the University of Michigan developing players and you go to a coaching staff. You're right. Sorry, the strength staffs in the NFL are not as good as in college. Right or wrong.
Starting point is 00:27:12 There's a reason why everybody leaves. And coaches in the NFL, strength coaches, they want to keep their guys healthy. So they put them on basic programs. to check boxes. Then you can go in the offseason. You can go to your excesses. You can go to your IMGs. You can go to your strength coach you had at Nebraska.
Starting point is 00:27:27 That was a great developer as well. That'll push you. And yeah, they'll push you to get the things done. You want to get done. But to say we're sitting here and not winning games. We're,
Starting point is 00:27:36 Michigan might set a record this year. Truly, if all the juniors leave it should, of the most players drafted by a school in NFL history. Yeah, that probably happened. 18. Look it up.
Starting point is 00:27:48 18. and one draft. And one draft. 18 guys are going to be drafted in the NFL if all of them choose to leave. And you're going to say, oh, the only reason why we're putting points up like that is because we're looking at signs. People aren't saying that. People aren't saying that Harbaugh isn't a good coach that he can't develop people that when we went and visit it and you got to meet the strength staff and see what these kids get, right? Yeah, no one's saying that they can't do those things.
Starting point is 00:28:17 You can do those at a high level still be successful. It's the competitive edge of going these lengths of this cheating scandal that's being looked at. No one's saying, like, if that's true, then everything else is false. Like, he is a great coach. He is a great developer. All of those guys in Michigan are. Like, that's why those kids, they want to go there. You're still getting recruits.
Starting point is 00:28:38 You're still getting developed. Like, yes, they are a product that you do not want to face on Saturdays right now. But it's all of these things that are coming out on how far that they've went. to ultimately cheat to do things that are against the rules and the legal aspect of college football, that's what's being looked at. And so that way they can be punished as soon as this year is just,
Starting point is 00:28:58 that's what the conversation. Who paying for those tickets? Sounds like Stallions paid for the tickets. Why are they not worried about this dude? So the day came out, so the day came out, though. Before we get into that, dude, if you really want to get an edge on things, the things you need to look at,
Starting point is 00:29:12 if you want to hydrate and put your body in the best position possible, you need to go to body armor, dude. with the boys, brought to you by body, they should drink body armor because it's the best H2O out there, and that is not cheating
Starting point is 00:29:22 from what I'm told. From sports drink, sport to sports water, body armor keeps you hydrated all day long, whether we're talking or watching or even playing sports, body armor is our go-to choice.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Real hydration, real ingredients, packed with electrolytes, vitamins, and nothing, artifactual. Body armor has great tasting flavors like strawberry banana and blue raspberry.
Starting point is 00:29:40 The best athletes in the world hydrate with body armor like Ronald Akuna Jr., Delaney Walker, Christian McCaffrey, Alex Morgan, Taylor 1, and Will Compton, and the latest athlete to join the team is Joe Burrow. Body Armor is available in stores nationwide.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Head over to Body Armor to a Body Armor store on Amazon and get yours today. You can get that. If you guys are in high school right now, you're in middle school and you want to start hydrating like the future national champions in college football, University of Michigan. I would suggest getting the Body Armor. Let's get back to the show.
Starting point is 00:30:11 So to answer that question, the counterstallions like why? So the day it all came out. Connor Stallions deletes all of his social media. Forget to delete one app. What app was it? Benmo. Oh, yeah. It shows all the transactions and what he wrote on the item line and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:30:29 All I'm saying is there is a lot of smoke at Michigan. And it just doesn't look pretty. And it sucks. Listen, yes, I enjoy having fun about it. Is Nebraska 4 and 1 in their last 5 facing only a Michigan team? Yes. But all I'm saying is there's a lot of smoke around Michigan right now. A lot of smoke.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I love us bad. Actually is what it is. They're just trying to distract them. Yeah. When you put them, when you put smoke, it's like, let's try to distract them. They don't want them to be the best team in the NFL, I mean, in the college football right now. Because a hard ball, I feel like they almost horrible.
Starting point is 00:31:00 It's a hard ball because the SEC is finally being threatened for the first time in a while. ACC's jumping on it as well. Like there's this Putin. Putin hacks me. He hacks me on Twitter the same week all the stuff starts to come out. You think that's, you think that's it? People are against the University of Michigan because they are America's team right now. Russia and the NCAA or out to get Michigan right now.
Starting point is 00:31:21 What do you guys think about the theory coming out with, you know, South Carolina getting in bed with Michigan a little bit to take down a very good Tennessee Volunteers team last year and also move on to beat Clemson? Well. Because they were wearing wristbands for the very first time. They're in worn wristbands. Their entire defense is wearing wristbands. The last two games of the season when they beat Florida and Clemson,
Starting point is 00:31:45 I'm telling you, this is a fun theory to roll with. Go ahead, Jack. It doesn't look such thing. It's just a theory. It's just a theory. Jack, go ahead. What do you have? It's a theory.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I mean, yeah, at the end of the day, there's no room for cheating in football. No matter what level it is, if it's a small sign ceiling or if it's whatever. So it's really like an integrity part of the game. You just hate to see people taking advantage of such a pure thing, such as football, especially from what people call the Michigan men. You know, you guys stand on this ivory tower of class. And you just hate to see it. The Venmos don't lie.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Why would he be sending a GA Venmo on December 30th, the day before y'all, or this, where was he? Yeah, Ohio State Georgia. She doesn't make sense. Again, I'm just here as a humble wizard, you know. If you're going to scout a team that you know you're going to play like Georgia, why are you waiting to the second to last game versus a team that is built
Starting point is 00:32:50 completely different than you are? What does mean second to last game? The second last game. This is a payment, allegedly, a payment for this game right here. Ohio State Georgia, which is if Michigan would have beat TCU
Starting point is 00:33:04 because we couldn't scout them, we would have played Georgia, why are you waiting to the last week of season when you should have been watching them in September and October if this is actually a real thing? Probably were at the very end. Like, that's just probably the one game. Like,
Starting point is 00:33:16 They don't got the week before, but they don't got October of the Venmo. I mean, the GA can be getting ass, you know what I'm saying? It might be in there. What? They could be getting an ass. You know what I mean? He was getting some ass. He paid him.
Starting point is 00:33:28 It always got to ask, you know what I'm saying? Get back that ass. You know what I'm saying? You don't know what that is. Right before New Year's. Yeah. They thought they go out. Get some ass.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Get some ass. Get some ass. Get some ass. To me, this doesn't add up. This is a big witch hunt. There's not enough proof to look over. to look over at signs and point in the air at Ohio State game and say it's a pass, all you have to do is the same thing the Titans do.
Starting point is 00:33:54 You look at tendencies when they're in certain formations with certain motions and look at that. Dude, you're probably going to be right 80% of the time. Hey, here's another, uh, thread. He sure has a lot of people paying him for t-shirt orders. T-shirt. I love to see his business that he's running. A side business. We got a black hoodie.
Starting point is 00:34:12 We sell merch every day. We sell merch every day. Why is he in a scarlet t-shirt order? Is a Michigan man selling scarlet gear? That's not good. Well, you can't make it a certain colored t-shirt. You can't make a certain colored t-shirt. I'm a-your-biggest rivalry ever.
Starting point is 00:34:32 I'm a Michigan man, and what do we sell? Do we sell Ohio State stuff here? Yeah, we have. We would have it if we had it. We did. We did. It's not a good look. Hey, right around and tall small playoffs. And, hey, after Tennessee losses are being the first seed, what do, we did? Do we not sell bengal stuff? Sometimes you just got to do business. Yeah, in the stadium.
Starting point is 00:34:50 It may say fuck around and find out. It's a business move. It's a business mill. Listen, it is what it is, right? But if this man's going to sell a couple of scarlet t-shirts, we're going to hang him with the cross for that, okay. All right. This guy's a Marine.
Starting point is 00:35:03 He should be smarter than that. I didn't believe you. At top of his class, right? Marine. And you think at top of a class, Marine, if he was cheating, is not going to delete Venmo? You feel me? He'd do nothing wrong.
Starting point is 00:35:14 A 600. page Michigan manifesto of how they're going to dominate the college football landscape over the next He's crazy. He's crazy. Think about this, Delaney. If you're the coach. Manifesto. Manifestation.
Starting point is 00:35:25 That's what they're doing. All it's going to take is 55 grand to keep you on staff doing what you're going to do. He speaks things to existence. That's the Michigan way, dude. You got to see it first. You got to be on the field. You got to see it first before you step on that grin iron. Hey, I can't wait until these clips come out and people are just watching y'all argue.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Delaney in the mask, Taylor is Ash catch them. Will and the football. It's going to be so funny. I'll tell you what, dude. Not in Jeep. Tockela, wouldn't cheap? My favorite thing about that whole thing is they're like, yeah, the defense was wearing wristpain. The defense gave up 38 points.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Right. What are we talking about? I mean, that was the- ball club. Real talk. Well, it stood on the podium saying it would help against the offense versus the defense. It would help them defeat the defense the most. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:13 You didn't know it would. I'm just saying, brother, a lot of holes. There's a lot of holes in this right now. There's not a lot. I mean, yeah, it's not a fully painted picture yet. For us to sit here. The foundation is painted right now. Like, we have the outlines.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Now it's coloring between the lines. It's a good movie. Right now we're watching a good movie. Yeah. That's all it is. Yeah. We're watching a good movie. And that's all it's going to be.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Because they're not, dude, there's, what, two more months after the season? Two more months. They're going to go over it. They're going to make a definite, decision on all of this before we win the national championship? Before y'all even play a ranked opponent, it'll be crazy. The chances of that are no, because the NCAA takes their sweet-ass time on all this stuff. But they're saying it's big enough that the Big Ten conference, the Big Ten is stepping in to kind of like...
Starting point is 00:37:00 Yeah, the Big Ten can't do shit. Why can't they? They can't do nothing. Why not? Because they can't. Because they can't. We can't do nothing. They can't do nothing.
Starting point is 00:37:08 What are you talking about? I hope you guys don't because we want to see you guys in the Big Ten Championship. I guarantee that's not the case, brother. I can't wait. I hope to God. I am praying that Nebraska makes it the Big Ten championship. So when we go and we hang 50 this time to zero, then all, we're the signs now.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Where's the sign stealing now? I'll figure it out. Don't you worry about that. I'll figure out how they beat us. If y'all beat us. All I know is the way we're playing right now, protective football, we're good. Protect the football.
Starting point is 00:37:37 You guys will be all right. You guys are, I hope you guys got it in front of you. We do control our own destiny. It's a good place. to be in right now. We do control our own destiny. You're four and three, four and two. Five and three. We're bowl eligible going into this.
Starting point is 00:37:51 We're bowl eligible. We win this weekend against Michigan State. That's the positivity we should be talking about right now. No question. Not friends trying to break down other friends, even though that one friend has done so much for the one friend. I am not trying to break you down. Like, I'm not trying to break you down. I'm trying to have some fun conversation. That's the beauty of this podcast.
Starting point is 00:38:08 That's the beauty of this podcast. We sat here four weeks ago after Michigan dumbing Nebraska. And Will goes, I cannot wait for Michigan's downfall. I am praying on Michigan's downfall. And now all of a sudden, we want to have a fun time. You want to talk about receipts. Like, I don't need a Venmo receipt to know that he's coming at me. I need to sign.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Throw up the sign. Run, run. Check the run. You should look at your wrist. Run. Jake, run. Let's talk about other college football stuff. Did you guys watch UNLV and Fresno?
Starting point is 00:38:41 That was. Our lock at the week on Bet the Bus. I did it. Dude, they were in the low red zone. Number zero. He's going to be my good, bad, the yuggler. I forget his name. Number zero runs a saucy little out, wide open.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Quarterback puts it right on him. They would have literally tied the game and gone to overtime, but he drops the ball. UNLV ends up losing that game. He was crying on the sideline. Of course. But you only, UNLV doesn't care about wins where they care about. Covering. That's it.
Starting point is 00:39:10 And they did that for us on bet the bus this week. What was the record? You would go four and two or three and three and three. I don't think we went 300, or three and three. Games built for 50% man. Yeah, but if you look at a Louis Locke's overall record, we're dominating. We're dominating right now. The whole bet the bus.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I mean, we're 9 and 3. The year we're up. We're up in the green, heavy. Yeah. Absolutely. Should we get into the good bad news? Are you going to be on that? This week or is it me still?
Starting point is 00:39:33 No, you lost. You went 500. Oh, I lost you. You're back in? Yeah, I mean. Good luck next week. Well, yeah, what are the college football? Should we?
Starting point is 00:39:43 I didn't watch the Nebraska. I just a Purdue game. What happened there? We won 31 to 17. He's put points on the board, huh? Yeah. We still turn the ball over four times. Like, we are the worst turnover team in the country.
Starting point is 00:39:54 That's, that's fact. I think we are the number, we are the worst turnover margin team in the country. Purdue is garbage. We're still a five and three, man. Garbage. Garbage. I mean, yeah, bro, we were up 24-0, I think,
Starting point is 00:40:07 and then they scored and it got a little like, hey, boys, cut it out. You're still starting your quarterback? that? No, not Jeff. No, he's out. They put Jeff in. They put Jeff in.
Starting point is 00:40:17 They did. Fumbles. No way. On fourth and one, he runs like a, like he, a quarterback run. He fumbles, they take it back to the house. Are you serious? No, no. So I wanted him to kind of dice him up a little about.
Starting point is 00:40:29 I'm like, okay, Jeff gets his chance to come back in. He got a fumble problem. Yeah, they play well, man. They play good. The defense is playing, the, the defense is playing well, bro. Playing black shirts. Have they earned their black shirts yet? I think that they got.
Starting point is 00:40:41 them before the year started. Like, they do more of the tradition of, like, give them out at the end of training camp. So they're not hurting anymore. And your, your defense is good. Okay. Good takeaway. We get after, man. Nebraska's playing some ball.
Starting point is 00:40:54 What was the turnover margin in this game? What was the turnover? Minus four. No, no, because Nebraska just got one right there. He said you had four turnovers. Maybe we were two then, minus two. I think when I listened to Rule talk about it, I think he said, I guess he said minus two. Can you look up the stats here, the turnovers that we had compared to them?
Starting point is 00:41:10 but yeah bro i think on the year we're minus eight or minus nine that's a bad ball looking healthy you're still going to be bowl eligible right still five and three i mean it's just nuts that who do you all play this week uh michigan state oh that's a dumb oh that's a dumb don't we can't get too high i mean yeah we can't start believing what i'm saying out there on the internet right now yeah you just got to put your head down yeah yeah i mean as i released that video in the bandj i was like i fucked up i can't i can't have us getting high i can't have us riding high like this don't Michigan State got issues too with their last coach. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:42 They're garbage. Michigan State is actually fucking, yeah, they're not a good team right now. They're trying to sell the whole farm for Urban Meyer right now. Yeah. I think there's no way Urban Meyer goes to Michigan State. Yeah, there's no way. You got to East Lansing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:54 They got B class school. That makes sense. You get to go into a pool of talent. Yeah. Michigan State is not that team. I mean, Urban Meyer is a scumbag. There's no question about it, but... He can coach some ball.
Starting point is 00:42:04 He can coach some ball. He can brainwash some kids and coach some ball. Right. Yeah, there's no question. And the students. Like if Urban Meyer legit goes to Michigan State, the Big Ten should be a little nervous the next three years. What do you say?
Starting point is 00:42:15 He said, and the students. How many turnovers? If you look up the... Four or five fumbles and two interceptions. We threw two interceptions? Or did we get two interceptions? I don't think we threw two big. That's pretty bad.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Y'all had two interceptions. Yeah, you got two interceptions. I think we were a minus two that game. Either way, we were bad. We legitimately, it's like, guys, we've got to take care of the fucking rock. Harburg. Do you see how many yards he had?
Starting point is 00:42:45 Was it 100 and something? So, Taylor, the last... 122 yards off six completions. Yeah, he's throwing some bombs. He's winning on some 50-50 balls now. Like, I hope he catches. We can run the rock. Well, he threw it 11 times.
Starting point is 00:42:58 The last two weeks, this week against Purdue, we received the ball. Fumble, they get the ball. Last week we're playing Northwestern. First play the game. We throw a pick to Northwestern. Both times I'm like, guys, I've said, it every week. We need to play defense first. I love those decisions by the guys just giving them
Starting point is 00:43:15 the ball to start the game. Yeah. Give them the ball both halves. This is the week. Yeah. We need to put together, you know, four quarters, four good quarters are complimentary football. And Jeff Sims, he said he should not step on the field again, right? I don't want to put that on my man, dude. I don't want to put that on my man. Yeah. All I know is we got to play good against Michigan State because Wisconsin, or Maryland, Maryland now is bleeding. Maryland is not the team that we, thought that they were going to be. Like they lost Ohio State broke their spirit. Yeah, Ohio State broke their spirit.
Starting point is 00:43:44 They've lost Illinois. They've lost Northwestern, right? And so we can, Maryland is a very beatable team. Wisconsin makes me a little nervous, but their backup quarterback. He's not that good. Although they did cover against Ohio State this weekend. I know. That kind of killed me.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Ohio State is not that good of a ball club. Because I feel like, on bet the bus, I bet Ohio State because I feel like their eyes on the prize of going and playing Michigan, it's very clear to me that they are, they're happy with just beating Penn State this year. They're not the ball club. They claim to be right now. Because Penn State,
Starting point is 00:44:19 I thought they were having a little struggles too, weren't they? Penn State didn't look that tough against, man, who were there, Indiana. Yeah. Yeah, because it was tight for a minute, right? Yeah, they were not. It's like the whole game. Indiana.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Yeah, it's not a good team. Oh, it's not a good team. Really, we just need Michigan to be winning. The U.S.C., a bunch of frauds. They were in my bad. And then also the Gamecocks, man. Didn't Kansas just be somebody too, though? Oklahoma.
Starting point is 00:44:45 I would say, I know you're a fan, so you're like, you don't understand the Gamecock fandom. But going into this year, I would say this is a below expectation. Yes, type year. Yeah, I mean, y'all don't keep up with Carolina football. So, like, you don't know what happened in the offseason. You don't know what happened first week. We're out four starting offensive linemen. Three guys transferred.
Starting point is 00:45:07 one is Oregon's best defensive end. The other is Florida States, arguably their best weapon, and the other one is USC starting running back. So they left in the portal. They left in the portal. Nebraska's down, their two top running backs to the year, two of their best offensive alignment, and their top two receivers.
Starting point is 00:45:26 And we have a receiver room that is just, it's us. Right, and our opponent's records that we've lost to is like 35 and 7. Oh, you're funny. I mean, we're playing tough opponents. Really? Oh, yeah. That's the next stage of our... Listen, we've evolved.
Starting point is 00:45:41 We've evolved. Look who you guys are playing. Listen, I'm... Say what you want about that. I don't give a shit. We've been fighting to be a team that's like, oh, look who you guys are playing. We were those teams of, look who you guys are playing
Starting point is 00:45:52 in many years past. Now we're winning games. And again, people are going to come at the top dog every week. We can... I don't know if anybody is coming at Nebraska. You are. What you mean?
Starting point is 00:46:03 Who, how? You just came at our record, our opponent's record. because you're trying to play this comparison game. All I'm saying is we're down guys, too. Everybody's hurt this time of year. Everybody's losing guys. Nobody's 100%.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Not Michigan. We have... You know what I'm saying? They're all healthy. Football. Yeah, yeah. In general, it's like... We got dings.
Starting point is 00:46:21 Well, we don't got guys sideline right now. Central Missouri, healthy, baby. You know? Hey, you went back for homecoming, right? Going back, baby. How was that this weekend? No, I'm going back coming up. November 4th is the game.
Starting point is 00:46:34 So shout out to my mules, my jenny's. If y'all don't know what it's. Jenny is, that's a female mule. Sorry, no disrespect. Okay. He's a female mule. Did y'all know that? No, yeah, so shout out to them, too. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:46:48 How's their record right now? They were seven to one last year. They only lost one game so far, so, you know what I'm saying? We hold it now. I love that, dude. I bring the championship, we next time. Yeah, South Carolina, I would say, I mean, you say we don't follow South Carolina. We were literally there during the spring, and we talked to,
Starting point is 00:47:03 we talked to, we talked to, we talked to, we talked to, we talked to, we talked to the Bradler and Juice. And Coach Beamer. And to your point. Beamer. Like we... Yeah, Juice is hurt. That's a tough loss.
Starting point is 00:47:14 And you guys, I think lost your next top receiver this over the week. Yeah. He was leading the country and receiving. But I feel you. I do feel you. But like, there's a part of me that roots for the gamecocks. Like, I'm, I just keep up because I'm like, I hope they win this weekend. Like, I hope Beamer does well.
Starting point is 00:47:29 You keep up with the box score, though. So when you look at the box score, it's tough. But when you know the inside of the program, it hurts even more. I saw your receiver go down and I had to flip the channel. Like, oh, here we go again. Right. Is a Beamer, Bemer correct? Is his job in Jeopardy?
Starting point is 00:47:43 No. That's good. No reason. I like him. Yeah. But it does have to just suck. Who'd y'all play over the weekend again? A&M.
Starting point is 00:47:53 A&M. Yeah. Yeah. That's a tough deal. Tennessee, though. Kentucky covers. Buddy. Good for them.
Starting point is 00:48:03 How would we feel about them? You know, we've had some tough. losses this year, so I'm not really sure there's any promise in a deep run. They're saying we're projected to be back at the Music City Bowl, potentially playing Rutgers, which is a crazy game because, uh, Chiano, y'all be fighting. Shiano's coach, I mean, Rutgers coach, Greg Shiano, Ohio State previous guy. Back in 2017, he was going to be the new coach of the Vols. And the entire Valls fan base basically went on strike and on Twitter was like,
Starting point is 00:48:34 we refused to accept them as our coach because they're, There was weird, like children allegations and shit. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, it was very much the VALs kind of playing into, you know, rumors. And then... Seems like that happens a lot lately. I am one of them.
Starting point is 00:48:49 We did not hire him. And then we went on to hire, possibly the worst coaching hire in Valls history, Jeremy Pruitt. But yeah, but now we got the hype train. So it was fun. We have won 36 out of 39 of the last... Kentucky games. So we, yeah, we own Kentucky. But that, we knew that.
Starting point is 00:49:12 So it was fun. It was just good to see two Tennessee football teams win in the same weekend. Yeah, depression is a myth when your football team wins. JP, you're saying that complete 180 from last week, Jack. Projection right now? It sounds like if Rutgers is a projection for y'all, if Nebraska does win out or get maybe even, yeah, probably went out. I think you'd have to slip up a little bit, right? But what's Rutgers record?
Starting point is 00:49:38 They've lost one game. To me, I think if we, say, let's just say we went out and we're, you know, we're doing our thing or whatever. They lose in the Big Ten championship. Like, we would still be like a prime fan-based team that a bowl game grabs to go on. That's a Jan 1. That's a Gen 1 bowl game team right now. Yeah, like, I don't know if Rutgers, I don't know if their projection right now. I don't know what their record is.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I'm saying that they could be a little lower. Like, if Nebraska did slip up, like, it could be a game. It would be epic in Nashville. That would be epic. Epic. If y'all need a... That's right, because it is Big Ten SEC and Nashville. And that'll be perfect for the argument
Starting point is 00:50:15 that's been going on the last couple of weeks. Tennessee versus Nebraska? Yeah. Have we been arguing? Big Ten versus S&C. I'm talking about Big Ten is more competitive than the SEC. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Good luck stopping this run game. Dude, do you guys watch Oklahoma and... I watch Part of... of it. Whenever G came in the chat and mentioned Kansas, I was like, oh, shit. It's tough. That's not good, man. Oklahoma, after the game against Texas, I was like, you, Oklahoma is so real. But I popped that game on for a little bit, and I literally thought, why they look so damn slow?
Starting point is 00:50:52 They were moving like molasses right there. Jayhawks got to get a taste of that Tennessee volunteer celebration. Take down the gold pose, take it to a river or a lake nearby. Mm-hmm. It's nice that down. Yeah. I can't just go to a town dump. You just throw that thing in there.
Starting point is 00:51:06 I don't know, there are any lakes out there. We're in Kansas. Yeah. That is wild, bro. The sooner is dead. Should we go good, bad, ugly? Good, bad, ugly, or NFL. Which one do you want to do?
Starting point is 00:51:17 We could throw our NFL in the good, bad ugly. Let's do... Because I do feel like I've alluded to all my good bad uglies in college. We could hit a little ad read. Let's hit the good. Let's hit the good after that. Good vibes. High energy so far on this podcast.
Starting point is 00:51:40 The... The number one thing I have on my good list is Duke Cannon, the trophy game sent created with support from Bussing. The Buston with the boys team available in thick body wash and a big ass brick of soap. The idea was hatched at the Bustin Bowl. Bust and Bull. Yeah. Duke Cannon team, they got their cameras out. They filmed some things. They wanted to make a scent that embodied a Nebraska-Michigan trophy game.
Starting point is 00:52:04 And now it is the representation of trophy games across the college football landscape. Taylor, do you want to talk about that thick, high viscosity? Yeah, dude, that thick, high viscosity of body wash. Thick is formulated, formulated with a noticeably higher viscosity and built to work effectively on your body, not spew down your shower drain. There's that thing, dude, and you have the big ice brick of soap. That's three times bigger than your regular piece of soap. You put it in the little lufo that comes with it, squeeze you on the body.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Dude, you're going to smell like collegiate bragging rights. You're going to smell like you just came off of a massive victory covering the spread, doing all the things, being the best team in college football. dude. You can find Duke Cannon sent at DuCannon.com slash trophy game and it is now available in your closest Walmart. That is correct. If you want to go for a little drive and you, we're with us a couple
Starting point is 00:52:50 weeks ago and you can run all the red lights, you can go over to Walmart, no problem. Get it and go right back home smelling fantastic. Your lady's going to love it. What, um, the good. Start us off. Kick us up at the good. So my good this week, Spooktober Kids Party. We went out
Starting point is 00:53:06 to a farm at the Aiken's house and every year we've done for the last four years and it was a phenomenal time. Kids were ripping around, getting on big time. Sugar High is having an absolute fun time. That was awesome. It's been a busy October. It's been a lot of adversity in this October for the Lawan family.
Starting point is 00:53:22 So literally Saturday morning, telling's like, holy shit, I forgot to invite the Comptons, shoots a text out to the Comptons. Them keeping their head in a swivel, end up coming to the party. It was a great time. Will Levis, four touchdowns in his debut, a, I think, 133 QBR,
Starting point is 00:53:38 quarterback rating, whatever it is. one of five guys in the modern football area. The last guy to do it. Do we know who that was? Marcus Marriota. We're going to keep building, baby. We're going to keep building on that. My kids came up to me and actually pulled me on the side.
Starting point is 00:53:54 My oldest daughter pulled me aside and said, Daddy, I want you to know something. You tell me you love me every single day. I know you love me. Can you please stop saying it so much? That is, to me, a good. To me a good because my kid knows that their daddy loves them very much. But we'll get to some ugly in a little bit.
Starting point is 00:54:09 more good. Being a friend I am, I am proud and happy that Nebraska is controlling their own destiny and becoming more and more real and truly going to make a bowl game for the first time since 2015. I think that is absolutely massive. Got to give a shout out to Chet Savage and Theodore Emil Jenkins being seven and four on slips and picks right before Monday night football. And more reports coming out on Michigan proving they have done nothing wrong.
Starting point is 00:54:34 And people are just being salty trying to punch up exactly what like Will said in the last segment talking about trying to take dudes off at the top talking about Nebraska. Same thing goes for Michigan. That is my good. Let's dive in on the Will Levis because I have him in my good as well. And shout out Will Levis the video he did. I don't know how long ago. Oh, like that he's doing that little TikTok River Dance type thing that he's doing.
Starting point is 00:54:57 He had focus on his face. It was definitely in college. 100% in college. But dude, let's dive in on Will Levis and the Tennessee Titans, bro. Wow. It's got to, and I know fans have got to feel so. just like optimistic about the rest of the year. Like going into last week, it's thinking,
Starting point is 00:55:17 how do you trade, you know, some of your best guys? How do you ultimately get and survive until the end of the year before we kill ourselves due to stress every week by what are we going to do about the Tennessee Titans? Will Levis comes into us four touchdowns. And you just kind of see, I saw Jack's video talking about, I hasn't felt this way in a long time, which I think it's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:55:36 They've been playing with the last few years. I think once a year Jack has that video like that. But it's like that juice, that energy just that gets ignited into the city. And I feel like everybody is so fired up that it seems like Tennessee Titans hit on Will Levis in a way that I don't even think that they anticipated. Yes. And there is a, there is a, you have to throw a little caution at this because that's what Titans fans. And certainly the Titans franchise is done. Go up, ride high with the highs and ride the lows with the lows.
Starting point is 00:56:03 If this man is able to do this again in a short week, then we can all start getting really, really excited about about Will Levis. But if that is the case, all these pieces that we've been saying that the Titans are missing doesn't seem as bad anymore because you literally have your quarterback for the future. If you're able to have your quarterback for the future, now we're looking at a position if Rand and Vrable are like, this might be our guy we have to ride with him for the rest of the year, which I think they should do regardless. I think that's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:56:29 You're looking at a possibility of a Ryan Tannahill to the Minnesota Vikings, I think. That's what I was going to ask you guys, do you just roll now? Is it a real levice time for the rest of the year? We roll and will. We got to get them ready for next year. This is a rebuild. We all see that. You get rid of Kevin Byer, get a couple of draft picks.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Who's next? We got one more day for the deadline. Somebody's getting chopped and going somewhere else because we need more picks because now they see the future and will. We can build around this. Let's get more receivers to help them out. We got spares back there. Let's get some more linens to make this team stronger in the past game
Starting point is 00:57:01 because we know we can run it. But now can we pass it? Can we protect this guy longer and make sure we have a future with them? If you guys are playing arms here, GM, are you trying to trade Tannahill and Derek? Do we need to trade Tannahill or do we? You don't need to. If you're talking about draft
Starting point is 00:57:17 capital that you were just saying and you know you're going to go with Will Levis for the rest of the year and literally as the football gods would have it, I feel I'm heartbroken for Kirk Cousins. Looks like he has an Achilles. I know. I thought about you when that happened, if you're looking at the comparison, everyone, like Tennessee Titan fans are
Starting point is 00:57:32 like, we should trade for Kirk Cousins a couple weeks ago. And everyone's like, we already got it at Kirk Cousins. If you were saying Tannahill and Kirk Couss are the same and Tana Hill is a high ankle sprain, and you can deal with that for a couple of weeks, maybe making a run in Minnesota. It's worth looking at Tannhill for a sixth, even a seventh round draft pick.
Starting point is 00:57:46 I don't think it happens. He's hurt. I don't think it does either, but if you're able to get anything for Tana Hill, knowing you're going to go with Will, that's got to be the move. But, Dan, what happens if Will goes down? Right.
Starting point is 00:57:57 That's the only, that's the only thing you got to think about. I don't think they trust Malik at the moment. If you're the Vikings, like, the Vikings have, what are they in their last? What's their record? Four and four? I think they're four and one in their last five, right? Yeah, they're four and one in their last five.
Starting point is 00:58:13 They're very much in the hunt. Yes, they're like a team that's coming alive, and I was gutted. I know. When I saw that slow mo and you kind of see that. It's kind of cramp that ripple effect of the possible Achilles. Yeah, and I do think that they're saying that it is in a torn Achilles. The MRI is just going to confirm it. But man, I was so bumcus.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Kirk was like, bro, going into that game, he was second yard. first in touchdowns. Like, he's proving that he can deal not without Justin, like he doesn't need Justin, but that was a big question mark on Kirk. Like he was putting up good numbers. He has been forever, right? Everybody's like, well, he's got the best receiver in the game, yada, yada, yada. Like, he was putting up, you know, if the Vikings kept going and trending with wins
Starting point is 00:58:55 and being a team in the North, like, he could have been looked at as like the MVP. So I am like, I hated seeing that, bro, because he's been, he's been a beast. He's going into a, he's going into free agency now off of a tornikilees. What do you think happens with him? With Kirk? I think he's a free. He'll be fine. But if you're the Vikings,
Starting point is 00:59:13 knowing that this is all going trending well, and Kirk went down like that and you're going to lose him for the year, that is why you would almost pick up the phone and talk about it to Danny. Because you can still win now. Like this is a team who can still win now. With that scenario, that makes perfect sense.
Starting point is 00:59:27 That's a great scenario. You trade Tannenhill to the Vikings, and he probably want that. Because after what he's seen Will did, he kind of, you know, we all know. Everyone knows when you're sitting there you see the guy that's behind you go nuts. You're like, oh, nuts.
Starting point is 00:59:40 And it's still yet to be seen. He's going to be able to do that over and over again. You will have to see it. But if you are going to go with Will Levis, let's say we're sitting here. We are the coaching staff and the GM saying, Will Leff is going to be the guy for the rest of the year. The fear of him being hurt is one thing,
Starting point is 00:59:54 but you know Tenthill's not going to be on the team next year. You know he's not going to be on the team next year. So if you're able to get any draft capital at all, that's worth sending off. Because if Will goes down, then you're back to like, all right, well, we gave this to run. We know what we're going to get with the offense if Will Levis goes down. It's more of like, yeah, let's get draft picks because we know Tano's not going to be here.
Starting point is 01:00:15 Yeah. Yeah. With Levis, it's like if he goes down, it is, you still have optimism. You're like, this is not going to be the year for the Tennessee Titans. Yeah. This is not going to be that year where it's like, you know, we're going to do it. We're going to make a rumble, a ball. Like, they could, they could potentially if he could be competitive for a wild cars.
Starting point is 01:00:29 But if he does go down, as a Titans fan, you're sad for the 2023 season, but you're so optimistic for 2024. Or true. And so you have Malik going there, which we need to talk to the fans a little bit about those booze. That's wild. That's disrespectful. You shouldn't do that. Yeah, they booed them. There's a bad snap.
Starting point is 01:00:46 The initial reaction is like, oh, Malik came in and he fumbled right away, but it was a bad snap. It was the first drive, right? The entire stadium just, but a lot of fans are just out there booing it. I ain't a lot. I was walking through the stadium, you know, it was Legends Week, so I was moving from, I didn't even hear the bulls. Somebody told me, like, oh, you're so proud about them booing Malik. And I'm like, bro, I never even heard them booing.
Starting point is 01:01:05 week, so I don't even know what you're talking about. Hopkins and I think Simmons and even Derek commented on it and was like, yeah, you can't have that. What's that? Yeah, I didn't. Levis talked about, which is big too. But with Levis, it's like if he shows that and he goes and, you know,
Starting point is 01:01:19 let's say it's half is good the next week. Like you got to feel on Thursday night football. Quick turnaround. Yeah, dude, and the thing about Will, it wasn't the touchdowns. That was like, oh my God to me, it was his presence in the huddle. Yeah. Him sitting there. It looked like he was controlling
Starting point is 01:01:33 everything. Him, right at walking up, knowing who the mic is immediately. Could be making wrong checks, but you see safeties, you know, rolling over. One safety goes back to the middle, the other safety comes down.
Starting point is 01:01:44 He had the wearthal to check it, move the boys, put him in different positions. They're going to have a whole lot of coaching for him on other ways, but he made minimal mistakes and looked overly confident in a good way with that team towards like,
Starting point is 01:01:56 you know, this dude, this dude looks at a dude. The only thing he really had was there was a check down to Chig late in the game. I think it was like late in the third quarter that could have been picked off
Starting point is 01:02:03 by the linebacker, but it was kind of a duck. he looked like he was throwing away a little bit, but just didn't throw it away good enough. Y'all may think I'm crazy if I say this, but what about Hill from the Saints? You don't think he can be a quarterback we should bring to the Titans, and he gave him an opportunity to be a starting quarterback. The dude is unbelievable at everything he does. You talk about Taysam Hill? Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:23 You're talking about the Mormon Missile. He's a football player, bro. Football player. Imagine giving him, is he like a top five football player of all time? I would say, the dude can play tight-in. My roommate was bringing that up. Running back, quarterback, punt return. He even goes to tackle you.
Starting point is 01:02:41 700 pounds in season. And hey, speaking of being strong, dude, Will Levis on that third and one, fourth and one, whatever it was, they did a sneak and he got like four yards. A little push. DeAndre Hopkins, he's got to have massive confidence going to next week too. That's one of my kids. What's the best is, you know how we heard,
Starting point is 01:03:00 you know, we had heard on the sidelines, or we had heard Hopkins coming over from the Cardinals. like he'll be on the sideline and be, hey, like, just throw me the ball. Right. Throw it up. Like with a young QB like Will and Will just knows how talented Hopkins is, it is nice to see him just taking shots for 50-50 balls. Be like, fuck it. D-Hop, go get it.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Dude, in the first quarter, he threw one. Literally, the release was incredible. Yes, Berks, flick the wrist and there's two guys, and he put it in the only place Burks could catch it and he dropped it. Dropped it. I know. Yeah, the drops a drop. Like, they can coach that and make it better.
Starting point is 01:03:32 But like, look at this. This one right here. At that moment in the stadium, we've never cheered for an incomplete pass. In that place, borderline erupted just by... And it being on the money. And then the one, his last touchdown pass with Nick Westbrook, he's falling back and Tosier floats that thing in the air.
Starting point is 01:03:55 This might be it right here, yeah? No. He floats in the air and he puts it right in Nick's hands. It was... He's watching, you're like, yo, this kid literally has legit special talent. It was perfect. Perfect. You got to float it like that. Back foot. Look at this. It was an opportunity to go get it.
Starting point is 01:04:10 That's what you're supposed to do. And Will, we know you're listening. Don't buy into what we're saying. Yeah. That is what you got to tell Will right now. You got to tell quarterback that. He was doing it right away. He runs up the tunnel after the game. Brave just gives him a handshake. I say, hey, you got to do it again Thursday, short week. He's celebrated with his family, man. It was a great moment to see. That was a cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Somehow didn't do that. He's got that, I want to say arrogance, but I mean it as a compliment. He's got that like, I'm legit going to go out here I'm gonna dice these fuckers up. He's got that playing gabber boys, you hold them up. I'm gonna dicey boys up. They put the camera on him on the bench after that first touchdown pass
Starting point is 01:04:44 and he was like in the face of the OSC or not the OSECs. I don't think Tim Kelly sits down there, does he? Yeah, he does. Well, he was down there like face red screaming like, we can do this like let's keep rolling. Yeah. And then like it was, I haven't seen emotion like that.
Starting point is 01:04:58 There was one play. I love the fact that he was throwing deep balls, but there was one play. It was like third and eight and they were right in that field goal area right towards half where they could have gotten more points on the board where he tried to throw a deep ball that ended up not connecting.
Starting point is 01:05:11 If he would have thrown that check down there, that would have to put you in a field goal situation. He said they have to punt. They'll see those, though. I mean, he'll get better. He'll get better. He'll see that on film. He'll understand.
Starting point is 01:05:21 You know, I always got to take the big shot. He was hot. I feel he was on fire. He's like, everything I throw. They're catching. He was essentially running NFL blitz to ball. He was like, let me just go and see what happens. Go get it.
Starting point is 01:05:33 Because he had some. good dude he had some good throws you got a great decision making he got the ball out quick the officer line looked like they played a whole lot better too he helped that whole focus on the O line because he would get rid of it that way yeah he was getting rid of it
Starting point is 01:05:48 he fast he had a great awareness play in four minute two taking a sack actually instead of trying to force get an incompletion like any in the the I don't know if you really thought about this but he's like in that 40 yard range he kept go back yeah getting stone house a little bit more
Starting point is 01:06:04 room to punt because he's got an absolute leg and he was putting it inside the 10 quite a bit. That play was a screen though, right? It was a rollout. One of those was a screen. Yeah. Now it went to Chig and that one got burned up pretty quick. But the kid showed promise to where, as a Titans fan, you've got to be thrilled. Who they play this week? Pittsburgh. Thursday.
Starting point is 01:06:22 We're at. Here? At Pittsburgh. At Pittsburgh. That'll be a great. Kenny Pickett's down. Can he picket had a rib injury. I don't think he'll be playing and they did not look that good. I mean, he will he will be having T. J. Watt. coming after him. But it is, it is, it's all. Hi, Smith. Yeah, him too. Yeah, absolutely. T.J. Wad
Starting point is 01:06:41 A lot of you definitely had to step up this game. But what's, what's cool is like before last week, it's kind of like the questions up there is like, do the Titans roll out Will Levis and kind of put him into a year where it seems like we're going down anyway, like put him in that situation to maybe like Bruce his confidence going into like year two. But the fact that they did roll with them and Levis stepped up like that, it's like you're in a, like I ain't got a whole lot to lose. Like let's just let it spin. Let it stand. Let it stand. At the end of the day.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Like, he's making checks at the line. He did, like, two plays in a row where he's trying to make checks at the line. And it's like just being confident in what I'm saying. Like, hey, maybe I might be saying the wrong shit, but I'm just going to trust my gut. I think it's like a, I think that's awesome. I think it's awesome how it all played out for him. And we've talked about Will quite a bit, but on the defensive front, dude. They balled out.
Starting point is 01:07:23 They were bawling out. Jeff went nuts. Went nuts. Went nuts. Two sacks. He was around the quarterback every damn play. He had more, but, you know, I said Harold got that first one. Yeah, he got two sacks too.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Harold got in on that first one. Harold, I know Jeff did his thing, but Harold got him. I thought it should have been a half. I thought both of them should have got a half. Okay, yeah, yeah. But you can do, I mean,
Starting point is 01:07:45 it's great to see Harold coming off the knee. I know. He's starting to look better now. That's got to make you feel your cowboy, Harold. He's just getting healthy. He needs a sack. He wants sacks. Yes, he just wants sacks.
Starting point is 01:07:57 But he's getting healthier. You can tell. He's starting to play faster. He's starting to get around the edge a lot better. Stuff like to like, see. But my good. Let me, I'll get to my good. My good was actually spending time with the legends.
Starting point is 01:08:06 I got to spend times with the oiler. I got to hang out with Bobby, Billy White shoes. One of the first players ever wear all white shoes, man, back in the day. Got to spend time with him, Warren Moon, Dr. Doom. And just be around that Titan facility, man, that's a good. And then also seeing D. Hop get three touchdowns and one game. You know what I mean? I think he, is that a record for the, is that?
Starting point is 01:08:29 I think he holds that record for the Titans, the only thing. I think, you know who I think owns that? Rashard Matthews. No, it was Kenny Britt. Oh, was it? Yeah, now it's D-Hop. Yeah, I had to think about it. I thought Richard Matthews had like three touchdowns in one game, too,
Starting point is 01:08:43 which is hilarious based on the guy, you know. I don't have to say anything else. Who? Yeah, that's sick. I'm stoked for the Titans in that regard. Mike was asking about you. Rousse was like, we're Taylor at. I'm like, man, he got to travel.
Starting point is 01:09:00 He got to do his thing. He's a very active in a Hill player. I know alumni day. I'm a free agent. He just was asking how you doing if he was going to come. I said, I don't think he. You know, Mike's been wanting to get on the podcast, too. I think it'd be awesome to have him and Brandon Hopkins on at the same time.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Brennan Hopkins. Hey, and you should get big country too. Brad Hopkins. He was a left tackle for like nine, ten years. And then Ruse. Oh, yeah. A little generational. I think big country would be funnier though, too.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Yeah, big country. He's that dude. There's a picture of big country. versus JJ Watt, and he's played right tackle and he's got his fist out like this. He's in the middle of a play. Yeah. He's like an OG like scum.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Dirtyest player I ever play with. I wonder if that photo's out there. I think it was at the Titans facility when I first got there. It was sick. But yeah, yeah, that'd be cool to have those guys on and talk to them because I know Ruse is one of the best tackle's in Titans history. Yeah, he's an absolute stud, dude. So should we do the band?
Starting point is 01:10:04 Do you have an overly direct take? I did. I just have to look. Something good from one of y'all's boys. Max Crosby donated a million dollars to Eastern Michigan. No way. Let's go, Max. I was in Vegas this past week.
Starting point is 01:10:22 I saw three billboards with Max Crosby on it. He's a man, dude. He's the man out there, dude. All he got. D. They got there killing him. He's going crazy. Seems like there's a big resurgence of white defense events.
Starting point is 01:10:37 Now, they always been around. You crazy. I'm just saying. Them boys are coming out there right now. Mick Boso, Crosse, DJ. Highs and receivers. Highs and we all start doing that. Joey Boso.
Starting point is 01:10:47 That's what you talk about. D-Lyman? O-line, D-Line. That's white boys for sure. White Boy City. All there. Linebackers. You know.
Starting point is 01:10:54 Run it back now. Questionable. Yeah. Well, yeah. We got a couple guys. I know we got one now. Receivers, DBs. Are we?
Starting point is 01:11:03 I'm 49ers You know I'm mess with them 50-50 man I know I thought you said We would talk about White line factors
Starting point is 01:11:09 He said we got one now We got one Yeah we got one Missouri You did get a little whiter out there A lot of white folks We were talking about that dude A lot of white folks
Starting point is 01:11:24 You said I want you to tell that story You said when you were at In high school You were Pants down to your damn knees All that stuff So, you know, coming from Pomona, California, first time in Missouri, you know, I'm walking around. I'm like, damn, you know, it's because it's a dominole of white school.
Starting point is 01:11:43 So I'm like, I never talked to a white girl in my life. So I get to the school. I'm like, goddamn, it's some bad white chicks. You know, they look like they eat stuff and they got butts. Usually, you know, come from California, you don't see that. They're straight back, you know. So it's an eye opener. You know, I'm trying to get at this girl.
Starting point is 01:12:00 She's like, ugh, don't touch me. And I told the homie like, damn, I have five white roommates. I'm like, damn, what's wrong with me? They like, damn, man, you look like the movies. You're like a game baker in the movies. I'm sagging 40 jeans, 5X white tea, go all the way down to my knees. You know, I'm wearing Air Force ones. They was like, you need to change your style.
Starting point is 01:12:22 I started wearing rainbows. Jeans got tighter. Yo, that is so fucking. How quickly did that transition happen for you? Real quick. Yeah? Oh, I'm like, I need to. It was like, it may be a week.
Starting point is 01:12:33 Once I got that check, I'm like, take me to the mall where y'all shop at. Went to like, Albucombeian fit. What is that? Abercombeian fit? He had never heard of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:43 You had to be there. Abercobian Fitch, journeys, Hollister. Yeah. Hollister, boy. And then it was over with after that. You know what I'm saying? That same girl wasn't saying, you know more. He loved.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Oh, that same girl, she wanted to talk to me. I had to play her like, ugh, don't touch me. Oh, I had to hit her with the same move. I was like, oh, don't touch me. She's like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm like, I'm just fucking with you. It's good.
Starting point is 01:13:06 I'm just playing with you. I'm just playing with you. You're just playing with you. Yoink. Yeah, that is hilarious. That's got to be the best thing has ever happened to you going to Missouri. Yeah, no, it was an eye-opener, man.
Starting point is 01:13:17 I was actually grew up in a box, you know, just thought the shit I was doing was right when it was clearly wrong. Yeah. So going to Missouri, it opened my eyes and realized that it was other places and everybody had their own differences. So, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:13:33 I had to understand. that. I couldn't judge people from them growing up a certain way and I'm growing up a certain way. So it actually made me who I am today. You know, I was, I was able to adapt wherever I was. And the mules got you right. They did. Shout out of Missouri. Yeah, yeah. Willie Fritz. Shout out of Willie Fritz. We all grow up like, you know, coming from a box of Missouri, then you get outside and you're like, okay. Maybe, you know. Maybe, you know.
Starting point is 01:13:58 I mean, the first time I was seen a Confederate flag was in Missouri. Maybe that town dup, and we all the boys staying out at. It may not be the coolest thing. Maybe the bubble of Bontar and Deloge, Missouri. Yeah, maybe there are some things beyond this. First time I was saying the Confederate flag was in Missouri. That's what I'm saying. Then you get outside of Missouri.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Like, oh, there's other flags going on. Yeah. I saw a Confederate flag in Ohio one time. Oh, yeah. You'll see it there. Ohio goes crazy about that. Yeah, well, PA. We know about PA now.
Starting point is 01:14:26 PA's been like that. I mean, they was flying like the American flag. They was coming out every morning putting this shit up. I'm like God. That's fucking a wild, bro. But then I learned about the 13 colonies and I was like, okay. Wait, wait. Educate yourself.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Learn about the 13 colonies and the Confederate flag? Yeah. So you were like, oh, I'm cool with the Confederate flag? I mean, I get what they was fighting for, but you just got to know the history. I mean, it ain't, it ain't sexy. No, you know, at the end of the day, they was trying to keep slavery around. But, you know, everybody had their opinion. Can't be mad at him.
Starting point is 01:14:57 You got to learn your history. I'll tell you what. You are the most even killed dude about that I've ever met. I mean, it's history. What can I do? You want me to go around slaughtering white people because That's what I'm saying Maybe a happy medium
Starting point is 01:15:08 What are you supposed to do? Like I adapt, I read Yeah Understood I get it You flag it hey That's on you You know
Starting point is 01:15:16 What about Pomona? How often do you go back to Pomona? Not a lot Yeah, I don't want to get shot You know I love my city I'm joking But I don't
Starting point is 01:15:28 I go back every once in a while I drive through it Not too many people I know still live in Pomona and, you know, they all move on the outskirts of it. So I kind of be on the outskirts of it. But I love my city. I love that.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Should we do the bad or direct take? Yeah, just throwing in a part of my good Joe Burrow and the Bengals. I mean, Joey B. Oh, he's getting healthy. Yeah. He's getting healthy. If we're talking to Tana Hill trade, that could be a place too. No.
Starting point is 01:15:54 The Bengals? Yeah. No. I mean, if Joey gets hurt. That's a lot of money to sit on the citizen. That's also a team that's a legit. hender. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:05 Just kind of covering your bases. Because you got it for one year. Yeah. You know, something to think about. That and the Browns as well. Browns would be a good one. All right, let's do the bad. Yeah, I pretty much have all my Jets on a three-game win streak.
Starting point is 01:16:17 That's a bad? No, that's a good. Oh, okay. I think that's a good on mine. Them being on a three-game win streak, like, where they were at the beginning of the year, like being in Zach Wilson's shoes, like, I'm not saying he had an amazing, phenomenal game, but to be in his situation and now they're in a three-game, win streak right now that defense is playing really good.
Starting point is 01:16:35 Like I just think that you can have a lot of optimism as a Jets organization right now football team because it's not like the bills are playing incredible football. No, not that they're only a couple games out of it, right? Like the Dolphins, they're kind of like, you know, are they more of a frontrunner type quality team? Yeah, yeah. Just top to bottom, the, what is the AFC East? East.
Starting point is 01:16:56 You know, isn't. I mean, like they say, a good quarterback always have a better defense. You want to win games? Speaking of defense, how you guys, do you think Jalen Ramsey? Like the dolphins, they have an awesome offense, but their defense has got to be the one giving up points. Jaylon Ramsey comes back last week for the first time. Gets himself a pick.
Starting point is 01:17:15 Gets himself a pick. You think that's a... You know, that feels good. I know. I know. I got a showcase, like he said. I got to advertise. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:21 They pay for. No doubt. And so do you feel like he's going to be the saving grace at that defense? He could. I mean, they're down a few cats, I feel like, on defense, right? Xavier and Howard? Yeah. Who else?
Starting point is 01:17:31 Yeah, yeah, Xavier and Howard and, yeah, you get him back. I mean, they game one, lose one. They kind of is going to be similar, I feel like. Both out there, I mean. Yeah, when they both out there, they're legit, playing field changes. More time we get to the quarterback. Yeah, because David Long's out there playing his ass off. David Long is really that dude.
Starting point is 01:17:49 Yes, he's playing his ass off. He is playing great football. His guy who's replaced him, Gaby, Dr. Gaby for the Titans. Oh, yeah, for Ghibie. Oh, out here with the tights. Different style, though. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a bigger, he's a pounder type guy.
Starting point is 01:18:02 No, we're just more like... Number two. What's his name? Al Shahir. Yeah, he's a good player. He's a good player. He's balling out. That whole defense is kind of going crazy right now.
Starting point is 01:18:11 Christian Fulton started off the season rough where people are legit like, we need to cut this guy, trade this guy, whatever. And now he's had himself a nice couple of weeks. That's going to be good to have the confidence back. Who, what's your list of bad? I have a short list of bad. Let me see where you're awkward.
Starting point is 01:18:24 I mean, mine I've already kind of hit. USC, Gamecox, Vikings and Kirk Cousins. She's losing to the Broncos. Look, that's not good. Hey, Mitch, you being a whatever fan you are. Taylor Swift wasn't at the game, right? That's where it is. Taylor Swift wasn't at the game.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Brough. Taylor Swift is going to help them win a Super Bowl this year. She needs to stop her tour right now. And go to every game. If they want to go to the Super Bowl, you're right. The only thing I'll add to that is Brock Purdy falling apart. I was going to say Niners are on there too. But do you know the statistic, though?
Starting point is 01:18:53 This is my bad. Dallas, every team that has beat Dallas so far has went on a no-game winning street. Arizona, 0-and-5 after they beat Dallas. 49ers, 0 and 3 after they beat Dallas. Can Dallas be the, can Dallas be that kicker? Dude, they, hey, that's the opposite of good luck Chuck. For slips and pigs, that's a good stat to have. That's a good stat to have.
Starting point is 01:19:16 I was just saying, can they beat that? 49ers dead. Are they? What you think? I don't know if they ain't beating the Eagles right now. No, they're not beating the Eagles, no. And hey, that guy I told you guys about that said, Brock Purdy's not good, text me last night.
Starting point is 01:19:33 And he's like, what I tell you? I was like, oh, you just called this? He's like, there's enough of a sample size out there for Brock Purdy to defeat him now. Were you at on Brock? I mean, I feel like he's got so many aliens around him, even with Debo out, like how, like, you should be able to dish that thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:51 But obviously his decision making the last few weeks has not been great. Sometimes I feel like Shanahan offense, a lot of teams start to understand it in the midseason. This always happens. Look at this 49ers record. Because a lot of it is just so good. concepts. It's just you've got to figure out what window dressing they're going to put in, like, before the play starts. Before the play start. Exactly. And also the defense, too. They're the one that gave most of the points yesterday. I was going to say that their past defense is just not playing that well, man. They're not playing that well in the back end.
Starting point is 01:20:19 Which is wild because they legit have such a squad there. I know. Because they're not a team who can play from behind. Behind. They're a team that they got to be in close games. They're built to be in close games and they're also obviously built for the lead. But they're a team that it's got to be close going into the fourth quarter. because they're not a team that can just start them back and lean on Brock to fish the rock around in a passing game the whole time. All right, should we get into this? You got an overly direct take presented by DirecTV. Let's move into our overly direct take presented by the boys.
Starting point is 01:20:49 The ultimate destination for pro football is where fans can get their football fixed this season, whether you're watching games on live TV or a streaming app, direct TV has you covered. And you can get DirecTV without a satellite. Stop compromising. start watching football. Call 1-800 direct TV today. See, what do you got? Overly direct take.
Starting point is 01:21:11 Titans are back. Tions are back and they're going to make a push to possibly be... I don't think they're going to win the division anymore. I think the Jags are too good. But I think they're going to have a chance towards the end of the season to be that seventh or sixth seed in the playoffs. Let's look at... Jack, can you bring up their schedule?
Starting point is 01:21:27 Three and four right now. Wait, what's the... Where they sit in the division? You bring up their schedule? I'm going to look at the division. They're down like, I think, three games right now. Okay. Houston lost.
Starting point is 01:21:36 Yeah, he did. I'm talking about the Jags just winning the South. Yeah, the Jags are playing good ball. And on slips and picks, that Mike Tomlin's stat being 15, 4 and 3 underdog at home did not play out for me this week. Yeah, I mean, right? Yeah, Titans are 3 and 4. The only teams that, you know, you got 4 and 3 Pittsburgh Steelers.
Starting point is 01:21:56 They don't really know who they want to be. Cleveland Browns, 4 and 3. Bengals. You got Bengals and Ravens. They're going to come out. They don't come out of that. They can come out of that. In the east, you got Miami and the bills right now,
Starting point is 01:22:07 six and two, five, and three. Then the Jets are also four and three. So they have some work to do. I mean, the Jets defense is, uh, I can keep them in place. We're talking, optimistically, Steelers, Dub, Buckingneers Doug. Let's say, let's say Jaggs they lose.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Let's just say they lose. Well, you said, dub on the bucks. Yeah, that'll be a tough game. That'll be a tough game. That's going to be a tough game. Titans' defense now. Titans is great, but that's going to be a tough game, though.
Starting point is 01:22:29 Panthers, dub, Colts, Dub. Dolphins. Hold up. Don't say Patrick's dub, yeah, because that's, if teams play today, I hope that, I hope they beat them. You hope we beat the Panthers, but. You're just saying tight. Historically, they play down to the class.
Starting point is 01:22:42 Yeah, we come down to the level of the teams. Dude, everyone's counted them out already, even with Will Levis playing well. So they're going to play up. I mean, you got these games. I know, you got, you got Jacksonville twice, you got the Seahawks, you got the Texans, you got the dolphins. Dolphins Monday night, too. Ugh. Miami.
Starting point is 01:23:00 In Miami. Miami. Miami. Of course in Miami. So let's be overly optimistic for this overly direct take. Okay. Yeah. Overly optimistic.
Starting point is 01:23:10 So Steelers. They split with the Jaguars. I wasn't going to go that optimistic. But yeah, let's go with that. Let's say they split. So Jags will have one L there. Let's say dolphins are an L. That's funny that they always put the Jaguars and two B.
Starting point is 01:23:24 Seahawks. They say Seahawks are an L. Okay. That's three. So right there you could be still 10 and 7. Do you think they're a 10 and 17? No, I think they're 9 and 8 looking to try and figure out who at the end. I see a 9 and 18.
Starting point is 01:23:39 Up to the football gods who gets in after that last week. Like, I think they go into the last week, 8 and 8, and they got to beat the Jaguars to have a shot of being played. And that's going to be that primetime game like we always do. I think the Jags will already have their seating. They'll already be in the playoffs and they're going to sit some of their starters, giving them an opportunity to get that 9 and 8. Yeah, but if you like that?
Starting point is 01:23:56 Yeah, I like that. If, though, the Jaguars are, say, like the one seed, are they going to look at sitting or the two, because the two C gets a buy now too, right? Or no? No. No, just the one seat. Just the one C still?
Starting point is 01:24:06 Oh, for the advantage. Are they going to sit their guys like two weeks in a row? Oh. They might pay for half. Yeah. Treat like a preseason game. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:17 But if Will Levis is who we're talking about right now, it could be reason to be on still prime time because they're trying to winning, you know, trying to get in. It'll be a prime time game no matter what. If it's going to get in. I like that. I like that. I like that optimism.
Starting point is 01:24:28 Yeah. So do you have an overly? Do you have an overly direct? It could be good or bad. Mine is, Nebraska goes 9 and 3, just like Willie C. said at the beginning of the year. To me, that's,
Starting point is 01:24:44 I think that's more realistic than the Titans one. Like, look at our schedule. Guys, I know that it's funny, but can we be real? Four games left. I just think these teams are beatable. You got Michigan State,
Starting point is 01:25:00 now, if we're just objectively calling it, if I'm, you know, if I'm being more of like, you know, in the media saying, oh, we're going to smack this team. Michigan State, you win that game. Maryland has shown they just dropped to Illinois, you know, Ohio, obviously, Ohio State in Northwestern. That's a very, very winnable game.
Starting point is 01:25:17 And that's at Nebraska. The tough one is going to be at Wisconsin. That's going to be a tough one for Nebraska. But you can come out of there. If you're on that, you know, what is that? One, two, three, four, five-game win street going into Wisconsin, playing for, hey, guys, we're playing to get into Indie. Like, we legitimately control our own destiny.
Starting point is 01:25:34 I think that's good momentum to have going into Wisconsin. And then it's... Madison. Then it's Iowa coming to Nebraska on November 24th. Those are games. Y'all beat Iowa last year. Yeah, we beat Iowa last year. And I was like, you know, even though they're, what, six and two,
Starting point is 01:25:49 like they're like a gross six and two. They're like a ginger right now. They're like, oh, they can do some things well. But, yeah, at the end of the day, you're still fighting a fight. That's, you know, you're behind the eight ball. What makes Nebraska sexier than Iowa? as far as like going there
Starting point is 01:26:07 like Lincoln versus Iowa was an ugly six and two just because like you guys have four turnovers a game right right but Nebraska hasn't been ranked I was been ranked like all year and to me it's kind of like a like a pig with lipstick like they're not you know they're not
Starting point is 01:26:21 they're in these close games or in these tough games like they're not a they're not seen as like a Nebraska who's like on the rise Iowa's like listen when are they going to fire Ferrence as an OC type of situation you know what I mean the season he'll get fired right because he has to score 25 points the game. He's not doing that right now.
Starting point is 01:26:37 I mean, they're 60-2. I think they're definitely not. You've got to be averaging it. Yeah. I think. But I just think I was the other week. I was like Iowa every year. Like it's just the same team literally every year.
Starting point is 01:26:48 They've had better offenses in the past. They've always had an offense that can run that like mid zone and run it really well. Yeah, they run zone. The ball, time of possession. Yeah, but you say really well. Like, they're winning like, you know, 19 to 12 against Minnesota. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:27:01 Like, it's just not. It's because they run into the ball. Yeah, they'd be Nebraska. That's a loss. I'm like, damn it, why do we have to lose in Minnesota? Hockey school. You should have absolutely beat them. Yeah, we should have.
Starting point is 01:27:13 We should have. Harburg's in there. We win in that game. I think, regardless of what happens, let's say in the last four games, you win one, that is something to be extremely proud of. Oh, I'm fired up about Nebraska being in, they can go bow eligibility this weekend against Michigan State.
Starting point is 01:27:30 You win six games. You're going to bow eligible with three games left. You look at what this is going to do for Nebraska. for coach ruling that staff, even in recruiting, like even in the all season, you still have a sample size to go and pitch to cats. Like, hey, come be a part of this, man. Come be a part of what we're building in Nebraska. So yeah, like, even if we went one and, what is that, one and three in the last four, like, I don't think we're doing that. But even if we did, it's like, dude, if you're, you're a Nebraska fan right now, like, you are fired up about where we are trending as a program.
Starting point is 01:28:01 They got money to spend on players? I don't know. I never asked those questions. questions. I never asked. I would assume money on you. You saw them facilities. Yeah, that's money on you. That's right. Yeah, you see the facilities. Like, they're laying in some cats in the, in the middle of the year. It seems like, you know, I saw something going on. So I just tweeted for it for that, uh, for that four-star offensive lineman where they pulled up the 18 wheeler outside of his high school. Yeah. So it seems like they're good recruiters. Coach rule's been known to recruit. I just think when you look at rules history, right? Like in year one
Starting point is 01:28:32 at Temple, year one at Baylor, it's only like one or two wins, yeah? He's already, yeah. So I'm saying he's already doing that. This is year two. Yeah, like perspective-wise, like, this is fucking awesome. I think we're trending, I think we're trending very well. Fired up. Fired up to be a Husker.
Starting point is 01:28:45 So you guys-Beged-10 champs soccer. We own volleyball right now. The swim and diving team is undefeated. And right now we control the Big Ten West. Like, it is a great time to be a Husker. If you win all those games, you're in the Big Ten championship, right? Yes. Could you imagine?
Starting point is 01:29:03 Year one, going to the Big Ten championship. championship. That would be insane. That would be insane, bro. Will it happen? Chances. The chances of a happening, I would say, are probably sitting at like... Point flip? Is that a new Bustin Bowl rematch? Yeah, yeah. The trophy game still? Oh, yeah, absolutely. I hope none of these, this stuff happens, like, gets fast track to where they can't play in the, uh... I'm saying I hope they don't, because I want it to happen. I would love, yeah, obviously I would love Bust and Bowl rematch. I'm sure. I know, man, if you're a lot... Michigan fans in there like you're salivating like yeah you'd love to play Nebraska but yeah of
Starting point is 01:29:39 course that would be sick run Jack run run run I knew I just knew something was up that day in Lincoln I just knew something was up you know yeah we need to steal your signs to beat you guys but I think that that would be sick if we're sitting there in Andy pass first pass at the game tip pass year one he's gonna throw it low right over the heads of the of the office of lineman year one going to the big 10 championship I would think that would be a bad thing for Nebraska. You know, why? Because then the expectation is now too high.
Starting point is 01:30:11 No. If you only win one in the next three, that is where Nebraska can go and be like, look, we are on the path to do X, Y, and Z. First year as head coach, you made a bowl game since 2015. If you go nine and four, right, nine and three? If you go nine and three and go the Big Ten championship game and get waxed, it's like you guys have might have already peaked without, you know, getting the players you want in there. You want to peek at the right time. is not the year for you guys. You don't think that bring players in.
Starting point is 01:30:38 We're the worst turnover team in the country. And we got you. This could be a peak in Nebraska that we don't want. No, I think we got the right, I think we have the right leadership in Lincoln right now. And I don't think we'll, you know, be peaking. If anything, it's going to help us with recruiting to get more talent there. Like, this is what we're doing.
Starting point is 01:30:55 We're going to the Big Ten championship. And I'm not shitting on the players that we have. It's just. But you're about to. When you're losing for all that, when you're losing for all those years, you're just not going to talk people in the to Lincoln, Nebraska. Yeah, it's a little tough.
Starting point is 01:31:07 Yeah. Because the end is Lincoln, Nebraska. Right, right. You got a pay cat to go there now. I mean, I feel like... But if you were winning to, it's like... All the girls kind of look fat, so I'm sure when they drink a lot of beer and shit.
Starting point is 01:31:22 About Central Missouri, you think Nebraska's... I promise you, Central Missouri, you got batters. Listen, bro, I grew up in Missouri. So you know. Yeah, I grew up in Missouri. You're going to see a lot of the same in Nebraska that you do in Missouri. Let's do the ugly.
Starting point is 01:31:39 Let's do the ugly. You're going to be fired up at certain moments. Your expectations are low, but you're going to be, oh, nice. Yeah, I feel that. Yeah. Are you ready for ugly? Yes. So my ugly is going to be Sienika Mackay.
Starting point is 01:31:55 That's number zero for UNLV who dropped that ball. That could have essentially won UNLV the game versus Fresno State. That's ugly because that literally got you beat. You should think it's you beat. That literally got them beat. My youngest daughter coming, I was in the playroom, she's like, Daddy, I want to tell you a secret. I was like, all right, come over here, tell me secret.
Starting point is 01:32:13 So she comes whispers in my ear that she loves mommy more than me. That's the shit that gets you beat. That was a tough out. That was a tough hell for me to take. I smiled. I said, thank you for being truthful. And I let her go do her thing. And my last ugly is Will capitalizing on social media about Michigan with no regard for our friendship.
Starting point is 01:32:30 That's what gets this bus beat. My shit that gets you beat is thinking that the bears had life. I fell into the trap. I got, you know, nice and baggent. Badgent, like... It's a great story. Fired up for the story, man. I'm a sucker for undrafted guys doing well.
Starting point is 01:32:45 And they got throttled. They got their hips grabbed. They got... Yeah. Them things spread apart and they got fucked. Yeah. Because last week I was like, Chargers lose this week to the Bears.
Starting point is 01:32:56 Just staff gets fired. And not, no. No. It's just... I fell into that trap, that shit to get you beat. That was the direct take last week. Yeah, that was my direct take.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Just coming out to his throat. My one that I just added, shit to get you beat. just not being aware that you get boxed in and that it feels a little more personal with your boy when some allegations like that come out, unaware, hand up. I need to do a better job as a friend of being like, oh, this is, you're going to get brought into something that's deeper
Starting point is 01:33:23 than what is actually being portrayed out here. So that shit that gets you beat. That should they get you beat as a friend. Let me comment on that one. I'm not taking it personally. I'm just being aware of how you're acting right now and I'm just letting people know how you're acting. Do I feel good?
Starting point is 01:33:35 I know. I listen. Yeah, I'm standing on business. I'm standing on business. My shit that I get you beat. The ugly is quarterbacks with NIL deals Thinking that they're more than football That shit will get you beat.
Starting point is 01:33:51 What got you those deals was football. Now stick to that shit. I'm talking about quarterbacks like USC They falling off. They come out talking about how much money they're getting. They ain't going to go to the NFL. We look for equity in an NFL team. Yeah, because we can make money more money
Starting point is 01:34:06 If we stay in college, just telling you. Don't get yourself beat. Sounds like that classic shut up and dribble comment from Delaney Walker. Pretty much. More like a don't fucking forget what got you. Yeah, don't forget what got you this kind of money. What got you to this level is football, your play. Now, if you think you better than that, stop playing football and go see if they'll still pay you that type of money.
Starting point is 01:34:30 Don't hate that last comment. Yeah, and it's like USC. Like it is like surprising. Surprising. They should have been a team that's. We talked about... In the college football playoff. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:42 Talk about Lincoln Riley. He took Caleb Williams with him. They're building this. They're building that. Last year, USC's back. They dropped one against Utah. They come in here with all these high hopes. They're coming off hot, right?
Starting point is 01:34:50 Like he's thrown for 8 billion yards and any touchdowns in the first half. So he's sitting in the second half. And now you're just falling apart. So I can't even watch him anymore. Sometimes it just hurts. Should he sit out the rest of the year? No. Definitely not.
Starting point is 01:35:05 Do you think so? What would you do it? Heism's out? what would I do? I play ball for my boys. But this is a new world we're living in college. He's out of the Heisman race
Starting point is 01:35:13 that they're out of the playoff race. There's really why risk getting hurt. He may need to go to the end of draft now. He's going to go to the draft. He said he was he? No. That's more of like, he also said he's only going to pick the team
Starting point is 01:35:27 is going to get drafted by it. He wants minority ownership of the team he plays for. That's not going to happen, brother. That's more like age of strategy. You're going to sit there on draft day. You're going to get picked. You're going to be happy. happy or sad about who you got picked by and you're going to go play ball.
Starting point is 01:35:39 Yeah. And then maybe you can get a trade like Eli Manning got. Yeah. I mean, they all think you can do it like what Deion did. You know, he didn't go play. He went and played baseball for a year. Then came back after he got traded. Well, he did both too.
Starting point is 01:35:52 But yeah, but he went and did baseball. Wait, no, was that Bo Jackson or Dion? You're talking about Michael Jordan. They both did. Yeah, that's Michael Jordan. He went to try baseball. Okay, let's get back in the league. Well, Joe Jackson, they got drafted to teams they didn't want to be on.
Starting point is 01:36:06 So they didn't play that year. They went and played baseball instead. Yeah, I think that was both. Because Deion did both. He literally was playing baseball one night, then got on the plane. Yeah, and go play. Yeah. He went and played on Sunday.
Starting point is 01:36:17 Oh, yeah. Does he play baseball? Caleb Williams? Do we? Not a whole lot of fall back then, huh? Play his dress up. What's that mean? Yeah, I was doing the fingernails.
Starting point is 01:36:33 I was just messing around. He paints his fingernails. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's going to play baseball. He plays. thing people are doing. He doesn't play baseball now. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:41 Okay. So he's got to go play. He's got to get drafted and go play. But his agent, that's got to be his agent. If that's him saying that, then someone needs to sit him down, be like, that's not how this works. Yeah. And you love to sit there and be like, hey, you could change the landscape of the NFL,
Starting point is 01:36:55 but that's not going to happen. That's not going to happen. He could have that realistic expectation. He just knows whatever his agent's trying to do right now. And don't get blackball trying to tell him you want ownership. These owners, they all sit in the room together and they talk. Don't get black. We've seen on other podcasts how delusional some quarterbacks can get.
Starting point is 01:37:11 Yeah. Dudes out there talking like it still play. Twist the question? Yeah. What, Vikings went down. Maybe they will. You have an ugly? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:28 Oh, no. I've addressed this already, but the ugly is publicly doubting a draft pick from your NFL team. Solely based off of a college rivalry biased. So, again, going 10 toes down. I was wrong. Will Levis could potentially be a franchise quarterback. And I'm here to stay. The good, though, the good is admitting your faults.
Starting point is 01:37:52 And I think that's the best thing about life is people love a comeback story. It's the most jack thing ever. Just, I got it and ugly. Goes back. He's wearing that costume. People, I've been fighting a war on Twitter with people who do not have actual Twitter avies. It's anime characters, and you know I'm talking about. So this is for all you guys.
Starting point is 01:38:16 I'm publicly apologizing. It's ugly. It was bad. But at the end of the day, it's good. You know, I've been there since 99 in that stadium. And it's beautiful. So, sorry, Will. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:34 Oh, yeah. Also, go ahead and stand on this. You think I wasn't here since day one with a, Will a lavish jersey on? Stuff. I think it is big on you to have that apology. That's big. Because you did.
Starting point is 01:38:48 On draft day, you was like, we didn't. We didn't get the right guy. Number eight. It's on draft day, you had that. You dropped that video. Well, the thing about that was. Like, all we pass on, thank God. Now it sounds like you'd give him your first born.
Starting point is 01:39:04 I would. But that draft video, too, I said I was happy we didn't draft him in the first round because of the value of the pitch. The second round pick, I was cool with. I mean, go look at my Twitter. And there was guys talking about I was talking shit about DeAndre Hopkins. And I was like, find the receipts. And the guy responds, he goes, couldn't find the receipts.
Starting point is 01:39:23 But you're still, he goes, don't call me a nerd. You like fucking dummy. And I was like, dude, like. He did kind of get you. It was probably like 40 years old. That dude was probably 40 years old living in his mom basement for sure. Yeah, he's out there hating. Punching up.
Starting point is 01:39:37 Just like Michigan. You got a twist of question? Yeah. Is it spooky? Yeah. You want to do the Twisted Boy? Yeah, let's do the Twisted Boy. Let's talk about that for a second. Playing bees and twisted teams. As soon as that thing comes up, I will talk to you about Twisted Tea from the Twisted Kings and the Twisted Prince, Delaney Walker being here right now.
Starting point is 01:39:58 That's exciting. Dude, Twisted Question is brought to you by Twisted Tea, the smoothest, hard iced tea out there. Perfect for pool parties, college game days, grilling out with the boys, all that stuff. Keep it twisted with Twisted tea. You need to grab a refreshing Twisted tea today. Every day. Delaney talks about it all time. Summertime hits. He's at that cigar boat. He's out there on Radnor Lake. What are you doing?
Starting point is 01:40:16 Drinking twisted teas, baby. Delicious. Missouri, Central Missouri. It's twisted tea heavy. Yes. Oh, yeah, definitely. Got to respect and love that, dude. Twisted tea brought to you by the Twisted Kings. Let's get to this question. What do you got for us, Mitchie?
Starting point is 01:40:30 What's up? He's got a cigarette boat on Radnard Lake. He's got a cigarette boat. You know a small Radnardner. That's the funny part of what I said. I know. I'm glad you found my joke. I can't tell a few of the beach. I don't even know where that lake is.
Starting point is 01:40:46 Our twisted question of the week, would you rather be stuck in a never-ending looping nightmare on Halloween night or the costume you picked, you have to morph into that person for a night? You have to be, yeah, you have to morph into that person for a night? I'd rather.
Starting point is 01:41:03 Mine's easy. I'd rather morph. Yeah, that would be awesome. Yeah, I'll morphed. I want to be here. very best. I can chop heads off and not get in trouble. Not to shit on your twisted question.
Starting point is 01:41:17 It's being a nightmare, your dream for a night, or be... Every Halloween he said. Yeah, whatever Halloween costume you dress up as. Will gets to win a Big Ten championship. Illegally. But I get to win one. Nobody's going to take it away from me.
Starting point is 01:41:31 I have a twist of question that I saw, but it's not Halloween related. You got to get that. Would you want it or no? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can do that, but we're going to do another twist the question is how long we related that mission is going to look up right now. Your house is kind of slim. If your hand, five fingers could dispense five different liquids.
Starting point is 01:41:47 What five are you choosing? If my fingers could dispense five different liquids. Jack Daniels, dumb. Whistle pick, you mean? But yeah? Yeah, whistle pick. My favorite lotion, bond number nine. It's got to keep these hands.
Starting point is 01:42:08 I can't have ashy knuckles. Smart. That's a smart play. Gas, middle finger. You can always have gas. That's a good one. Loop. On my ring finger.
Starting point is 01:42:23 Boy, operating with that brain uptime. Twisted tea on the pinky. Let's go. Hey. You killed that assignment. That was perfect. That was perfect. Would you change anything? I wouldn't do whiskey.
Starting point is 01:42:36 I would do tequila. Ooh. Ooh. Double loop. Um, yeah, you gotta have twisted tea in there. I love the gas pull. Yeah. I love the gas pole.
Starting point is 01:42:47 Lotion's good too. I'm probably doing some, um, McDonald's Orange, Orange, High C. Ooh, one of my favorites. McDonald's Orange High C. Yeah. That's solid. I think you bet you're better off going with the Baja Blast and the High C.
Starting point is 01:43:03 I mean, that is, but if I'm, if I'm Taco Bell, I'm usually going to Taco Bell Pepsi. Oh, really? is it stronger than the McDonald's Pepsi it burns McDonald's is Coke Coke oh yeah that's right that is that does that that's some good coke yeah that shit burns
Starting point is 01:43:19 some great Coke that shit burns but those are good yeah those are solid well done oh thanks man thank you as a as a white guy I don't know if I'm doing lotion
Starting point is 01:43:30 but I think you know if I do want to keep up with my skin that some cologne maybe switch it out for cologne but it's some some Duke Cannon trophy sense in clone form Just find a way to put all of our All of our
Starting point is 01:43:43 Cues to a Chevy Silverado Right Ooh Ranch Oh ranch Oh ranch dressing Good pole
Starting point is 01:43:52 Go ranch dressing Yes You guys have any back there We haven't said I feel like gasoline Was super strong pole That's the number one Especially if if
Starting point is 01:44:02 like society collapses You are never running You can get a generator Dude you're the king of the castle Yeah I'd say Dwayne, he's smacked out. That's double the brain, double the brain. The one I would put in there
Starting point is 01:44:14 is the white sauce from Japanese places. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. Let me get you right. Bitchie, what you got, baby? Did you find another twisted question?
Starting point is 01:44:30 Great twisted question, Jack. Yeah. Would you rather be in a nightmare or be one of your favorite people? Did Jack, just take over the segment then? Do what? Jack should just take over the segment then. That's right.
Starting point is 01:44:41 You can get one good twisted question, and then it is hard. Like, Mitch has a tough job coming up with good questions every week. Especially when they're Halloween related. Spooktober. Spooky. All right. What you got, Mitch? Should we do a...
Starting point is 01:44:56 I want a spooky question. You want a better, you want a better, Miss. I want a better, I want a better spooky question. We could rank to do a tear talk. We'll do a tear talk. Would you rather have nine-inch nails in your eyelids or jack off a meal? Jack off a meal? Would you rather have what? Say it again?
Starting point is 01:45:13 Nine inch nails in your eyelids or jack off a meal. Yeah, jack off a meal. But you got to drink this shit after you get it in the cup. You're talking about free protein? Yeah. Jack off the meal. Yeah, because you just hold your breath. You just hold your breath. Pop that down.
Starting point is 01:45:31 No problem. Okay, okay. What about you? Will's gotten better at chugging, too. I'll do a facial. Oh, you'll do a facial. Can I do a facial instead of drink? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:40 Oh, yeah, I'll do the facial then. Oh, okay. What would you do? I mean, nine inch. Jacking off a meal every night. I'm good. I mean, threw it off the backboard.
Starting point is 01:46:01 Dog. All right. You don't have one? Let me try to think of one. Would you rather be stuck in a haunted asylum or a haunted cemetery? Yeah. Yeah, you want to go to a graveyard or an absolute insane asylum? For one night?
Starting point is 01:46:23 Cemetery. Stay the night? No, I'll get too scared of the dark. How about this? Would you rather live 10 years in isolation? You can't speak to a single human alive or one day of the year you're liable to be chased down and killed by your worst monster. But you're like, you have the ability to kill it.
Starting point is 01:46:44 But there's one day of the year. It could pop up. on you or 10 years of just straight solo time losing your mind. I think you got to take your chances. Yeah, you got to take your chances. What kind of, but. Do you know what day of the year it is? No.
Starting point is 01:47:00 Is it your worst? You don't know what day of the year is? It's terrifying. Wait, so you don't know when it comes? That makes it harder. You don't know when it comes? You don't, you don't know. If the predators hunting you, it's over.
Starting point is 01:47:10 You don't know, bro. You're dying. Yeah. But, okay. I'll take death over isolation for 10 years. But what type of weapon? Let's go back to last week. It's all about how mentally strong you are.
Starting point is 01:47:19 Yeah, but I'm dying in that. But it depends on what type of weapon. Now, if he, like, Jason, he just has a knife, I'll take my chances with that. But if he, yeah, if he's the type of person who's shooting bullets at me, you know what I'm saying? Like the, what's the sniper movie or whatever? If you're taking shots at me now, that's different.
Starting point is 01:47:37 Because now I don't know where you're at. I'd say it's like a knife situation where it's going to be hand-to-hand combat. They're going to, like, chase you down type. That's living in paranoia forever. But it's only once a year, though. Oh, you're like... Once a year, right? So, Jack, this is a human that's trying to kill you.
Starting point is 01:47:54 Yeah, for the sake of this, that's fine. Oh, yeah, I'm taking it. Even if it's a predator, I'm taking it. Yeah, you're just going to die. I'm taking it. I can't live in isolation by myself. Yeah, isolation for 10 years. I'd rather just say, or die.
Starting point is 01:48:06 I'd rather just die. Think about that. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Really switched up from last week, but yeah. Last week, I'm not... I don't know. Did anybody get to hear the twist of... question from last week. Did you all get to hear? What would y'all do? Do you hear in the opinions or
Starting point is 01:48:24 you can time travel fast or time travel forward? Wait, say what? Say that again? So you time travel forward, but you can never go back to the present moment. But you don't, you can choose when you time travel. If you get on a plane, you can just time travel and be there. And you can never just go back and take that plane. But I can never go back to my original life. You can never go back to the original. Yeah, you can never go back to the original moment. Or you basically hear. Or you basically hear. people's opinions about you. You read minds. You know the movie What Women Want? It's that, but with everybody.
Starting point is 01:48:54 I was in that, by the way. That's a good one. What? The second one. How was an extra? No way. How old were you? One fact about home. How old were you, though? The second one with Taraja P. Henson. Yeah, how old were you? I was probably 21.
Starting point is 01:49:12 Can you see like, can you? Oh, you see my hairline. I was going to say, bro, we need to be running that photo. I was so mad when I went and back and watched it. I was like, no way. That's so long. All day, dude, it's crazy. You're like, they're like, all right, action.
Starting point is 01:49:28 And then you fake talk to someone. You don't make a noise. And it's a complete strange and you're like, that's so weird. That is wild. How are you in that situation? I found, like, an ad on Google. So what do you, what do you choose, Delaney?
Starting point is 01:49:42 You don't know what we said. I got to check. Damn, man. That's a good one, actually. What are you picking, JP? I got to think about it. You don't want on the bus. I think if, like, he said you, like, you have the power you could, like, fast forward a plane ride or, like, I probably do that.
Starting point is 01:50:02 No, but you can't never go back to whatever you had. If I have no reason to go back to the flight. Yeah. But, no, it's got to be on the flight or it can be, I can be taking the shit in time travel. With time travel, you get to choose whenever you have to fast forward a shit. Whenever you go, you have to fast forward, you can go as long as you want or as short as you want. You just have to use it. I'll let me do that.
Starting point is 01:50:22 Yeah, with the, uh, I'd rather hear people. If you hear people, you hear them always. I always. You never turn it off. Oh, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It would be pretty annoying. Yeah, it would be so hard. I'll live by myself, I'll build a house.
Starting point is 01:50:34 I'll build a concrete house where I'm in it. I can't hear them. So you're creating the 10 years of isolation. Yeah. No, no. I'm not creating it. When I walk outside, I can hear it. When I want to go in the house and sleep, I got peace.
Starting point is 01:50:44 but when I want to be outside. See, you never said that we always have to hear it. Now, I can make a house where I can, I don't have to hear what's going on outside. I don't have to live there. You can't focus on everything at one moment. It's not like Bruce Almighty where you're hearing all the prayers at one time and he can't like compartmental.
Starting point is 01:51:00 That's how I guess. That's what it is, right? That's what it is, right? You got to be around people. Yeah. Yeah. As soon as I get around you, I can hear what everybody think. Yes, I like that because then I can, I can steal.
Starting point is 01:51:11 I can cheat. Look, these are new things. you got you. Somebody who put the lock code, they remember it in the lock code in the house to the bank or whatever. Now I got it. Oh yeah. I'm coming back. I'm robbing this motherfucker. Hell yeah. And think about Blackjack. You know every
Starting point is 01:51:30 time they check that little, you know, every time they check that card under the... Think about Blackjack, Taylor. I know exactly what you got. You know what you're going to hit her men. You're a football coach. Oh, yeah. You can know the other... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:44 There's so many benefits. The thing about black check, though, is when they check that little thing with the ace, it doesn't show what card it is. It just shows whether it's a 10 or a queen or a base card. But you're thinking it. Once you see it, we can... They don't know either, though. They don't know what card it is.
Starting point is 01:51:57 You sure there ain't no glass under that little thing? It's a little mirror. It's a little mirror. But, like, the way the cards are set up is like, if it's a nine, it'll just show a blank, blank corner. The faces and the tens are wider, so you would see... But you still have some benefit to know if there's a... No, because they check it after they ask you if you want to have insurance or not.
Starting point is 01:52:14 Right, but they could have, if they have a, if you're seeing an eight and they check their card because they're checking it anyway, right? No, they don't check it. If it's an eight, there's no reason to check it. Hmm. Either way, you can cheat during football games. You could be Michigan. I also want to see how long it took you get that. That's wild.
Starting point is 01:52:37 Anyway, I think so, gee, where are you at? I think I'd move forward. Okay. Jackie, did you say what you would do? I think he said move forward. Yeah, I think it was move forward. That's a no brittorner for Jackie. Yeah, I think he moved forward.
Starting point is 01:52:52 Mitchie, did you say something? Delaney's points, though. Lying. The conversation got to where it's like... Yeah, I mean with that one. Will, you're wrong. Where it's just like you can just choose your own. And for the sake of the segment, like, talking it all out.
Starting point is 01:53:05 No, the thing was last week with Will was, Will was trying to spin it as, I'm mentally strong enough to do this. Not just pick which one you wanted to do. Right. You got to explain yourself. I'm thinking, like, ultimately you'd be able to use it. You're using, I would not do the time travel because I wouldn't want to just travel forward in time.
Starting point is 01:53:23 Because you don't get to come back to the present moment. Like, you just never, you never get to come back to this situation right here. Whether it's good, bad, whatever's going on, you can't, like, you know, you can't ever go back. And you can ever. So I would almost rather, I would hate more so to have the time travel than I would hate having the mind reading stuff.
Starting point is 01:53:41 And I feel like you, if you see yourself, you may have to kill yourself. I don't know if you can live, co-live with each other. Because when you see yourself in the future, you change everything that happens, right? Is that that what we believe would happen if we can try to. Yeah, I wonder what happened to your future self if they'd ever be around. Have we seen each other?
Starting point is 01:53:57 Like, do you disappear? Like, what is it? Is it rules behind it? Do I need to live in a different country? It's the movie Click where you fast forward and you're going through life. Yeah. And that's really is. You're saying that you don't see yourself.
Starting point is 01:54:09 You're just going through life. You're going to go forward. You just go forward. Are you going to be old when you move forward? Depends on where you jump. If you jump that far, then you're like... Yeah. Because my thing was if you get into any type of emotional decisions.
Starting point is 01:54:19 I don't want that. Y'all got too many stipulations. You have more control over the, uh, the one that you already have, like, no matter what. I got a twisted question.

Starting point is 01:55:11 Great show. Don't we? Oh, yeah. No, that. Tear talk. You do your teard talk now? Some spooky tear talk. How about boys in the back, best things of Halloween,
Starting point is 01:55:23 best things about Halloween? You guys are involved now. You guys are involved. Best things about Halloween. Delaney, do you want to start? Taylor, do you want to start? You guys want me to start? You guys in the back want to start?
Starting point is 01:55:33 Who do you guys want to start? Look at the boys in the back to start. Do you guys have some? Yeah. Are we all three doing one? Are we doing a combined? I don't know. All right.
Starting point is 01:55:42 Just say one. Okay. Yeah. Just one? Jack, you'll be tier three. Okay. Okay. I think I've, I think I've been to...
Starting point is 01:55:53 Tier three goes to when Halloween is on a weekday, and it's trading your candy at school the next day at the lunch table. Where you first learn negotiations and everything. Yeah, I like that. That's tier three. Tier two, I'm just going to kind of go with the low-hanging fruit, just pumpkin flavors being back, whether it's your coffee or your pies or your whatever pumpkin-flavored stuff.
Starting point is 01:56:27 Yes, sir. Is this officially back? This is going to be labeled J.P. Hovey's Tier Talk. Yeah. Well, honorable mention throw in their Halloween parties. You can't beat them. It's just fun to have an excuse to dress up and like go out with the family or the friends.
Starting point is 01:56:46 But my number one is going to be the just the atmosphere and how it just kicks off holiday season. It's the first time in the fall where you're like, all right, once this domino falls, it's just Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's, you know, St. Patty. It's just like a run of like three or four months that you really get a lot of community-driven stuff and then a lot of stuff you can just, you know,
Starting point is 01:57:07 hang at the house, light a candle, put on a good movie. So, yeah, that atmosphere that kind of brings Halloween into all of our lives, I think, is just pure. That's us. Love. It was pretty good, like all of those. Huffy. Huffy.
Starting point is 01:57:28 I know that's tear too stung, you, J.P. I guess I haven't said it on here, but if, what, I don't really associate pumpkin-flavored things with Halloween. I know they've got pumpkins and Jack Leonard's, but if pumpkin-flavored things were that good, they would be around all year. No. That's a terrible take. It's not a terrible take.
Starting point is 01:57:57 Dude, seasonal beverages. It's not the point. It's when you go to your coffee shop and you look in the top left corner and it says seasonal beverages. Because it's the season, maybe. You're not going to have a pumpkin.
Starting point is 01:58:07 You don't associate pumpkins with Halloween? What about not like pumpkin spice latte? Not with Halloween. You're bringing the pumpkin flavors. You're putting on the chalkboard. You're drawing a little orange pumpkin next to it. Pumpkin lot with that. I'm with the
Starting point is 01:58:21 seasonal vibe. All I'm saying is it's not as good as what it's made out to be, the pumpkin flavored things. Yeah. I think because the energy's up, it gets mistaken for, oh, it's an elite flavor.
Starting point is 01:58:38 Yeah. You know what I mean? Like apple juice is good year round. Apples are seasonal in the fall. Yeah, because you're in the orchards. You're apple picking. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:46 Cut up an apple this morning. Rue loves apples right now. Well, I'm saying is you have those apple things all year. Yeah. Apple cider. That good. Hot cider. Do you have a hot cider in the summertime?
Starting point is 01:58:57 No. I see what you're saying. Like as far as pumpkin flavors being an elite flavor, I do not think it makes any top tier of flavor. But as far as it being a seasonal vibe and energy and everything else, I think it is perfectly placed. Like give good vibes. It's a good vibe.
Starting point is 01:59:16 I'm going to take this down because it's not a great flavor. Pumpkin flavor is the fall. Like I don't. Yeah. Halloween. I don't know. I've never really had it. What is Halloween in? In October. The fall. If you relate pumpkin-flavored, nice little drinks with Halloween, then enjoy your soft Halloween. I got one. Don't get fazed by that. It's like eggnog. I've never been like a massive fan of eggnog. But the fact that it comes out and people seem to be excited about it,
Starting point is 01:59:45 it just brings a smile to my face. Because I'm like, oh, people mess with eggnog. Like, I don't mess with it. I don't touch it. Do what? I can't touch it. I'm not a big eggnog. I don't like it. You do? Yeah. I do know that people don't like it. Like, I know I'm in the minority of people who like eggnog.
Starting point is 02:00:02 If I wanted to be like a Grinch. Two glasses a year is really all I need just to like. But. Yeah, because you know a grand gallon of it. You just want to enjoy it. It's a holiday spirit. Yeah, it's the holiday spirit. If I wanted to lean into the Grinch aspect of it and be kind of like a festive
Starting point is 02:00:17 hater and be grinchish about it, I would be like, oh, if it's that good of a flavor, they'd have it all year round. And to me, that's what you're being with the pumpkin take. In this scenario, I'm saying, I don't, when I'm, I thought we were doing like a Halloween tier talk, I don't relate pumpkin flavored things with Halloween. I relate scary things, trick-or-treating, candy, costume parties. Yeah, pumpkins. That's a good in-game adjustment.
Starting point is 02:00:44 Well, maybe my dude is having a solid pumpkin. That makes you huge, J-B. You know, he's chilling on the couch with his. girl. You know, everybody do Halloween differently. You know, when he said Halloween, it was like, it was like Netflix and chill. That's how I felt like he was on that kind of Halloween. He was like pumping spice. You know, I lit some candles, smelling like pumpkin in here. Got my girl coming through. About to get some pumpkin pussy. That's what I seen.
Starting point is 02:01:11 Pumpkin puree. Yeah. Pumpkin puree. All right, we, uh, you want to go? You want me to go? You got it. All right. I'm going to give an honorable mention to Halloween parties. I think especially in college. Yeah. That is the time to be out there. I talk about that PRA.
Starting point is 02:01:33 Just kind of, you know, you sit there and just creep in the corner. Kind of see what's going on out there. It's a nice little deal. So I have to give a tip of the cap to Halloween parties. Gone but not forgotten in my life. My number three, it's going to go to carving pumpkins. Sometimes it becomes, becomes a little bit of like, all right, let's do it, let's get it done, let's lay all the stuff
Starting point is 02:01:53 out. But once you're doing it, when you're in the middle of it and you really take carving pumpkin serious, you're kind of, you're becoming an artist. You're fine. What am I going to do? What is this thing going to be created? It's not going to be exactly what the picture shows, but it's going to be my version of that. And that is special when you truly buy in to carving a pumpkin. My number two is a blanketed statement. It's spooky events. And I could just say, hey, it's all the spooky events, but I feel it's more of a cop out. personally, I love spooktober. I love, obviously it's my favorite holiday, but the Fridays,
Starting point is 02:02:24 when you get a squad together or you just go with your girl and you go to a haunted house and you just say, I'm going to be scared for the next 45 minutes because it's the only time of year I can do this. And I can't go back in June and be like, oh, let me go get scared at a haunted house because those things don't exist. And that just having that specific time a month, similar to the pumpkin spice lattes where it's really just in one area, makes it that much more special. Do we want to be scared of year-round? No, we don't want to be scared year-round. But it is one of the most fun things to do,
Starting point is 02:02:52 even as an adult, during the spooky holiday. And my number one is, it's just going to be trick-or-treating because I feel like my kids are now at the age, both of them are now at the age, where, like, they understand the assignment, they know what to do,
Starting point is 02:03:06 they go to the cauldron with the house with no lights on that says, please take one, and they know to take a handful. They understand the game and using the rules to their advantage. If you're not going to be there to be a security guard for the Coltrane, we're going to take advantage of that situation.
Starting point is 02:03:19 And then watching their excitement, running from house to house, grab a whole bunch of things. You go to like a 12th South. You go to a cool neighborhood where the people are outside with spiked apple cider. We're hanging out, just having a good time. The kids are ripping and roaring and having a great time comparing outfits. That is, as a father, you're like, this is awesome because this is like core moments they're having in their life.
Starting point is 02:03:38 So that is my number one. I'll go next. You got to give one word. One word to say how you feel. Roller coaster. Family oriented. JP's like, bitch. Family first.
Starting point is 02:04:04 Thoughtful. Wholesome. I enjoyed all that. Thank you. So here's what I'll say. And this is going to be probably, I don't know, an unpopular opinion. But the way you feel about the pumpkin stuff, the pumpkin
Starting point is 02:04:20 spice flavor, but you want to put it, like, you'll go, you'll go out there and just stay in, staying on business. I feel that way about pumpkin carving. Like, to me, I, I personally think it's, I have not a lot of fun doing it. And I think the pumpkin carving is the most overrated thing about Halloween. And I know that's a hot take, but I don't want to, I know I'm saying it out loud, but I'm just bringing it to light because as he's saying it, it fires me up that people feel that way about pumpkin carving. I mean, when you do a good job. You know what I thought about is it's not like getting it all set up is a pain in the ass.
Starting point is 02:04:55 And it like, it can be that way. But it's really just the mindset of being like, I'm going to embrace all of this. Because last year doing the little cottages or the little houses decorating the houses at my house. We're having a little competition. Yeah, I love that. That's essentially that's the Christmas version of carving a pumpkin. To me, so I'll say this, I'm bitch made when it comes to. touching icky stuff all the time.
Starting point is 02:05:21 Okay. I hate getting in there deep with the pumpkins and, like, getting it emptying it out. Yeah. It's just a mess, man. I get it. You got, I get it. You got, as you're decorating the gingerbread house, you can eat while you're doing the gingerbread house.
Starting point is 02:05:33 You know what I mean? Like, oh, I got a little bit on my finger. Let's get this frosting off in a deep way. Like, Mitchie on the peanut butter. Just throttling, throading that finger trying to get that, trying to get that taste off. Oh. And that to me, I, like, I know that that's why I just hate the association. I'll be like, God, this is going to be a long time with this pumpkin.
Starting point is 02:05:53 And then I'm going to get caught. Like, I'm going to get caught in that mentality of wanting it to be so fucking awesome and perfect and shit to where I will take so much time. Be like, okay, let's go outside and light this candle inside this pumpkin. Yeah, this is awesome. I'm going to like and enjoy it when the people around me are doing it. But just, just wanted to get that off my chest. I get it.
Starting point is 02:06:10 I appreciate you saying that. I appreciate you. Delaney you up? Yeah, yeah. So my honorable mention is the people who give out king size candy. on Halloween. Like, thank you. We love you.
Starting point is 02:06:23 Thank you for spending the extra money to give it away for free. That is that amazing. Yeah, we love it. My tier three will have to be the people who go all out on decorating their house.
Starting point is 02:06:36 All out. I thank you. We love you. Do you do it? No. But I think the people who do. You need to see Taylor Center. Man, they got to pay people to do that.
Starting point is 02:06:47 They decorate their house. Put all of it. Like when you walk up to the house, you kind of scare. You're like, oh, where? Like, is this like a hundred house? Yeah. Oh, we handing out candy. You'd be like, damn, I fucks with it.
Starting point is 02:06:58 Get a picture. Then I'm going to have to say tier two is going to be just being able to dress up as like scumbags, killers, murderers, prostitutes, because most of the females do. Just to be who you want to be deep down inside, you know that. that enter you, you want to that come out. You know, I always dress up as some killer because, you know, I can walk around, act like a killer and not go to jail being black. So I love that part.
Starting point is 02:07:30 And then... This little key, you're thinking, I wish I could take your fucking life right here, but I won't. Yeah, yeah. When I'm really dressed up, I'm on that, like, like, serious, I want to kill you, but I'm like, yeah, I'm acting, but I'm not. You know, because it's Halloween.
Starting point is 02:07:42 So you can do that, you know? When I get that scare, I'm happy. Like, yeah, let's get the next one. Kid. You know? A little kid. Yeah, yeah. That tier one, it's just going to be, man, you know, having Halloween on the 31st, bro, just at the end of the month.
Starting point is 02:07:58 You know that it's going to be epic. You know, it's going to be crazy. It just sets the tone going into November. And I love that. I love that about October 31st, Halloween, because now you know you're going, you can be a scumbag, do all this crazy stuff. And then it's like all about family, November. Yeah. Quick pivot.
Starting point is 02:08:16 Yeah. Quick pivot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so that's me. Halloween. Frightening.
Starting point is 02:08:26 King. Method acting. Incredible. Thank you. Thank you. That was solid. Thank you guys. That was really solid.
Starting point is 02:08:36 That was good. Because you're right. Like, when you scare somebody, scare a little kid or something, like you kind of like. Yeah, got them. They know now. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:45 Yeah. Got them. Scared this motherfucker. Yeah. Oh, I scare them, too. I like that. I like that. That's good. And I love how your tier one's just the 31st. Yeah, I just like... Yeah, yeah, I told her first.
Starting point is 02:08:58 That it's on the 31st. I just like that's on the 31st. I love that. My tier three is going to be slutty costumes. I'll say it. Oh, man. We're all thinking it.
Starting point is 02:09:11 Yeah, this is a shout-out. This is a tier talk. My testosterone wanted to get involved. He wanted me to say that for him. But I'm a man. You know what I mean? Like at your weakest moments, do I stay and stare at it for a long time? No, but I see it. And I just want to pay homage to the college parties when you're that young thunder cat walking around and being like,
Starting point is 02:09:29 yo, let's go. We're trying to step out tonight. But really, you want to step out for really only a couple weeks. Yeah, that puree, that pumpkin puree. So, slutty costumes, my tier three. My tier two is going to go to that consistent potential of a fright all month long. Like, it's that part of buying in and spookober. Like wanting to be scared in the haunted house.
Starting point is 02:09:50 It's like people, you know, Mitch, he was terrified going on the haunted house. And it brought a smile to my face because he felt legitimately scared before he walked in. And it's like, man, I can't wait to trick myself into being that way through it. Not like, oh, I'm going to walk in and whoever screams the most is a bitch. It's like, I want to be scared. I want to feel like I'm being chased in here. Like somebody's like got the Delaney mentality. And part of them wants to kill me a little bit.
Starting point is 02:10:12 Like, I like that. And putting on the scary movies, like picking your shots throughout the month, but putting on those. frights that are really going to make you think twice about going to bed. And my tier one, dude, you guys have alluded to it, the trigger treating, just candy, bro. Eating candy until you puke, order that you feel disgusted with yourself. Going in that extra eight times into the pantry night eating your kids candy, just eating your own, you buying it.
Starting point is 02:10:38 Hey, let's buy a shitload of candy in case kids come to the house. And when they don't, you don't pass out all the candy, you have it. I'm eating. And you're eating it all probably within the next. 48 or 72 hours. I love that. I love that. And that's, that's, that's, that's, that's my tear talk.
Starting point is 02:10:55 Passion. Excitement. Adolescence. Goated. Orney. Orney. Mike was asking me looking crazy. You know, I know, I were all tuned to it.
Starting point is 02:11:09 I was like, I was just gonna say it, man. There's bloody costumes. We all see them. Yeah, we know what time it is. Mike was asking out there looking crazy. Oh, dude. All right, so the last segment we're going to do, we're going to do with you, Delaney.
Starting point is 02:11:25 We're going to do it with you. This is the shittiest moment. Do you use toilet paper? No, only use dudes wipes. You should use dude wipes, dude. Keep doing it. Keep doing it. Keep that bum nice and wet and refresh you.
Starting point is 02:11:37 It's going to make you feel a whole lot better and not skin you up a whole bunch. My boy had a hemorrhoid. Hemorrhoid? Had a hammeroid a couple days ago. He had some dude wipes that really helped him through the entire process, making you feel a whole lot better. So make sure you use dude wipes.
Starting point is 02:11:49 You can pick up dude wipes on Amazon or Walmart and Target nationwide. You need to tell us what was your shittiest moment of your entire career? Well, I had a shitty moment in high school, so I'll give you a shitty moment in the NFL. I must have ate some hot sauce or some beats or something. Took a shit. But you giving us a real shit moment. Oh, yeah, took a shit. Thought it was bleeding.
Starting point is 02:12:16 Yeah. Luckily, I had the white. can get a good look at it. Yep. It was beats. Your shittiest moment was the potential of dying. Yeah, I thought I had a hemroy or I was... It was just purple.
Starting point is 02:12:29 You had like the reddish-purple. What is it, colon cancer? Yeah. Like if you should, yeah. Without knowing you do think the worst. Yeah, no. I've literally thought something was wrong with me. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:12:39 I'm like... Have you ever had a hemorrhoid? No, I never had a hemroy. Thank God. My worst one was in college, bro. Like, do you got, like, what do your butthole look like? pellets and it's like painful. But is your butthole like swollen out?
Starting point is 02:12:51 Is it like a gaping, like a gaping hole? A pig sock? Yeah, like it comes out just a little bit like just up. Something, I don't know, like calluses up inside that, inside that cold. It's like, it's really. Inflammation. Inframing. I think it's when the inside of your rectum comes on the outside.
Starting point is 02:13:07 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Sometimes I am. When I get toward the end, I know there's a little bit more in there. I thought you get hemorrhoids. Well, you need a, you need a potty tuby, whatever, the stool. that helps you lift your legs up. We don't do it, yeah. We're not real natural when we just sit there on the toilet.
Starting point is 02:13:23 Legs go numb. You know what I mean? Standing at that phone for 30 minutes. Yeah, I thought I had a cancer. That was my shittiest moment, but got to really look deep into it, and it was beats. Okay, oh, it's got a little purple to it.
Starting point is 02:13:38 It's a little bit of your other shitty moment that you were thinking of. It was a little grimy. What was your shittiest moment of your NFL career? shit i mean getting cut good one no way that's the shittiest to get cut and not even getting cut it was shittier than breaking your leg no because i was guaranteed eight million dollars when that happened so i didn't have an injury clause so i mean it hurts
Starting point is 02:14:04 i got fully paid guaranteed though so when you got cut was like when i got cut is because they cut me and i wasn't even at the facility it's like they called me it's just cut me you know what I'm saying. So sometimes you just, that hurts, you know, when you feel like, you know, you don't did a lot for the organization and then, you know, you just phone call. Man, it goes back to you don't have that storybook ending like you want because everyone's telling himself a story. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:30 Yeah. You're like thinking they going, yeah, man, you know, do the whole thing for you, take you in. You see to sit with the owner, sit with the gym, coaches, you know, but it ain't, it ain't like that. So, you know, that's the shitty moment. That happens to most of us. No, all of us, pretty much. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:46 Yeah, pretty much all of us. Unless you just go out on a high note. I mean, it's hard to go out on a high note because you're coming off of a high note. You're like you're either going into a free agency to get a little bit more money. You want to run it back. You want to do it again. There's really no, like, perfect.
Starting point is 02:15:02 I would say Ben Jones had a good one. I think Ben Jones, like, got to see himself out the building, pack his own stuff. He had to miss games last year with the injuries he was. I know. But Ben Jones has got like so much of a chemistry with them and that friendship. It was just like, you know what I mean? I don't know.
Starting point is 02:15:22 Maybe it was. Right, right. You got to know. Yeah, yeah. It's just a little different. And I understand. I wasn't there. I was getting having, doing, I was getting treatment in another state.
Starting point is 02:15:31 So obviously that could have been the reason why I just they won't call me so to having me come in. But who knows? How was yours? I went in and they, I sat with them. Oh, you said now. They asked me when I wanted to get cut. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:15:42 See, nah. See. See. Hey, we got there. Like, when do you want to do this? Yeah. We were in Cabo. Yeah, I remember.
Starting point is 02:15:50 I remember. I was like, hey, call me when you get a second. I called him. He said, what are you doing? I was like, I'm in Cabo with my friends. He goes, all right. Hey, you know, obviously you've already told me that you know we're going to have to cut you. Like, just tell me when you want to get cut.
Starting point is 02:16:00 And I was like, when is like the latest? And he's like, we'd love to do it before the combine. I was like, yeah, let's just do this date then. So I came in, saw the boys, saw the equipment staff, said by to the trainer, said by to the TV guys. and then I went and sat with them and it was cool because me and Braves like talked for like 15, 20 minutes before Rand came in
Starting point is 02:16:19 and we're just talking about Oh yeah, you were still here with Rand though You were still here. No, Rand got hired. Yeah. I've let out two interactions with him and there's one outside of Rable's office and he was like, hey man, I love your podcast.
Starting point is 02:16:30 I was like, hey man, I love your podcast. I was like, I will, absolutely come on. He hasn't come on yet, but he will. Come on. And then the second one was him just like sitting in as like me and Rabel were talking. And I literally was like, so what do we do here? Do I have to sign something?
Starting point is 02:16:41 And they're like, no, we just got to, we're releasing you and you just got to know that we're releasing you I was like all right appreciate it guys so I didn't deal with Braves I deal with John
Starting point is 02:16:49 I didn't even have you know so it could have been different maybe what was that that was Rabel's second year when they cut you yeah
Starting point is 02:16:56 so I had five years of Brabs I know five years I will say dude when you broke your leg that was like that was sad
Starting point is 02:17:03 yeah that was the game I got knocked out I know I went to all you in the x-ray room Belina had a good cry together
Starting point is 02:17:09 I was already crying and Delaney's just like it fucking he was him Yeah, I like a peace football player. It was just bad because I didn't want to play anymore. No. Told everybody, like, let's play tomorrow.
Starting point is 02:17:20 But everybody voted against me. You know, we're going to finish this game out. You get hurt. Marcus get hurt. I get hurt. It was just like seven hours of playing football. Really? Yeah, that was a wild.
Starting point is 02:17:34 Yeah, that could have been a shitty moment, too. 11 p.m. Yeah, that could have been a shitty moment for me. Just, I didn't want to play. I, I start eating. eating barbecue at, like after the third break. Yeah, we were just chilling. We had pads off and everything.
Starting point is 02:17:48 Pads off. Eating barbecue. Dude, you know, you're making the most of it. But it's like what you have no control over what's happening. I know. It was like a minute 47 left in the second half or the first half. And we had to like go do two minutes. And I'm like, fuck, I got to go out there and just let's shit pass block. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:18:06 Like that's the most stressful time is two minutes. I'm like, I got to go do that right now. Remember when we came out that like the third time, we didn't even warm. warm up. He just put the ball down, blew the whistle. I'm like, oh, snap. This really happening right now. This is really happening. That was a wild. That was a wild day. Yeah, I remember that people were trying to say like, hey, we shouldn't play. Yeah, it was a few, but a few of us the day was like, no, we don't want to come back. I'm like, ah. I know. Hindsight's 2020. Yeah. But yeah, that was a, that was a shitty deal. That's it. I'm good.

Starting point is 02:19:07 Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.
Starting point is 02:19:15 We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick.
Starting point is 02:19:27 Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.
Starting point is 02:19:47 This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, and on my new podcast, How Hard Can It Be? I call on my Gen X squad from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS.
Starting point is 02:20:16 Unfiltered conversations from night sweats to futas to scheduling sacks. Wait, what's sex? Is it just me or does every woman my age want to look at Pinterest instead of having sex sometimes? They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
