Bussin' With The Boys - Michigan vs Nebraska, Scott Frost & Trev Alberts, The Bus to Knoxville?

Episode Date: October 13, 2021

Recorded: October 11, 2021 | To say this past weekend was one for the record books would still be an understatement. The bus left Nashville for the very first time and made it to its' first ever college football game-day. Michigan vs Nebraska in Lincoln. Since the bus was in Nebraska for the weekend it was only right that we brought on head football coach and Nebraska legend, Scott Frost, and athletic director, Trev Alberts for a special interview segment before the Michigan game. They dive into the current culture at Nebraska, Michigan vs Nebraska in 1997 and what would've happened, and plenty of other stories. (11:10) Then we jump back into the current events part of the pod where Will begins to give his recap and share his frustrations about the result of the game. But then something crazy happens. The door creaks open, some sort of fight song can be heard off in the distance, the boys are confused... and all of the sudden... BOOM. Taylor surprises the boys and is clearly here for one reason, to champion Michigan and rub Nebraska's loss in Will's face. Will and Taylor immediately start arguing about the game and how the refs were the only reason Nebraska lost but also the only reason Michigan didn't blow them out. The boys finally make up and agree to move on from the game when an important question is raised. Where should the bus go next? There are rumors it could be in Knoxville this weekend, but other destinations have also been thrown into the mix. This past weekend opened a lot of new doors and possibilities for the bus so tune into this episode to see what could be next for the boys, we promise it's going to be big. ----- EARN YOUR WOLF: Want to be featured on our Instagram Story?

Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.

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

Your husband is not. who you think he is. Your body is not what you thought it was. Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Danny Shapiro. And these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place.

I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, we are rolling. Another episode of Bustin with the boys underway. As you can see, we have some wings sitting here. Are the wings in the shot?

No. Let me grab them. Sorry, I know Nashville is a tough spot to grab wings. And people are always looking for a good spot. We just had 60 of these bad boys. Both cameras, it doesn't matter. Bones clean. The ones that aren't clean, it was probably J.P.'s doing.

but strikeout Strikeout Wings in Nashville Over in East Nashville Or not East Nashville But more like In the Berry Hill area What do we get?

Sweet heat Lemon Pepper The lemon pepper's fire And Cajun Ranch Yeah Cajun Rass I don't know

But hey strikeout Strikeout has the wings If you're in Nashville And you need a spot To go get wings Strikeout Wings is where it's at Diving into the episode

Tough weekend. Tough weekend for Nebraska. I'm leaning on Nebraska thoughts right now. Raiders lost, Nebraska lost, Washington football team lost. Titans won. Thank God. I guess the Saints beat Washington. I mean, I was on the Saints.

Like, I helped turn that program around. Program like it's a cop. But yeah, thank God that boys took care of business in Jacksonville. Could you imagine if we would have lost to Jacksonville after Irving? Byrne Meyer. Like, you know, the memes on Urban Meyer are all time right now. The Jacksonville Jaguars are down bad.

And I'm glad it stayed that way. They didn't want to touch Derek Henry. Derek Henry, they just make way for the king. Hey, you really don't want to play for Jacksonville. Yeah. I may that one might not be in the cards of the boy. But before we get into it, you guys know the drill. The strongest most advanced Silverado ever is sponsoring this podcast.

The Chevy Silverado, those boys are strong, advanced, dependable, hardworking. Football season is in full swing, and it's time to up your tailgating game. Fall means football and tailgating, boys. It's time to tailgate around the strongest. The most fun Silverado, too. Like we talk about strong, advanced, dependable, hardworking. But the Silverado is fun. I'm going to tell you why it's fun.

Number one, multiflex tailgates. So since it's tailgating season, we've got to be. to talk about the tailgate. They have a multi-flex tailgate with six convenient configurations. It'll give you a step up. It'll give you a step up on your tailgate game. There's a primary tailgate. You guys know what that one is.

Opens up with the push of a button on the key fob or the inside of your truck. No more, you know, no more open it up manually. You can now just push a button. The inner gate folds into a large step for easily getting in and out of the bed. Here's the big one. There's an easy access configuration where the inner gate, folds down allowing you to reach farther into the bed. No more belly flop and no more jumping into the bed.

No more having your boys pull your ankles to pull you back out of the tailgate. They now have an easy access configuration where it does it for you and helps you get in there deeper. No pause. It can also become a desk or a surface where you're tailgating meal. I don't know if you're seeing that commercial going around that the Chevy Silverado is doing during football season. The one where the old man, he's telling his boy, you'll check it out. I can work out. I can, I can, the tailgate is now.

at desk. I can send emails. Like, look at me. I'm sending a fake email right now. And the kid comes out. That, what are you doing? I'm doing emails. I'm working. He's like, you're working on the Chevy. And he's the kid didn't get the joke. He sent him inside because it's like, you know, hey, get the joke. But you can now set your iPad up. Say you're watching the game. Set up a monitor, whatever the case may be while you're growing the dogs, while you're flipping burgers, grilling steaks, making baked beans. You can now do that on the tailgate of your own The Chevy Silverado is modern in advance with a ton of grit and their partner in getting absolutely everything done that you want done on your truck. The Silverado is as strong and dependable as the people who drive them.

You. Go to a local Chevy dealership near you and let them know the boy sent you. Chevy's changing lives. We're hearing that what is it called? I'm drawing a blank, not the tailgate, but the hatch. Hitch? Hitch. The trailer hitch.

Yeah. they're giving out free trailer hitches which purchase of a Chevy Silverado and remember tell them hey this is what the boy said I don't know why you're telling me no now but here's what Will Compton said we get a free trailer hitch

I'm hearing there's some buy one get one deals out there going on I don't know where you're going to have to find them but if you go to the right one I hear they're throwing in a buy one Silverado get one free don't know where that is and you can't quote me on that that's not in the ad read but that's just what I have heard out there But yeah, episode brought to you by Chevy.

We can stop talking about Chevy instead of turning it into the entire episode. All right, diving into this episode. Dude, packed episode. We got, we're going to start off with Scott Frost and Trevor Alberts. We went out to Nebraska this weekend. You guys all were aware if you follow us on social media. But we sat down with Trevor Alberts, the athletic director, and the head coach Scott Frost the day before the Michigan game.

And it was a blast. those dudes had fun. The hardest part was we towed the bus out there and we're sitting out not a cloud in the sky and it's upper 80s. It's like 86 degrees out there. So we're back to our day one roots. We're sweating in there.

Trev Alberts, he comes on. First guess we've had on fully suited. You know, he's sweating his stuff off in there. You should probably bleep that out. Bleep out the, bleep out when I say, yeah. So bleep out what I said. I got you.

You don't have to repeat it. Yeah. Bleep about the part where I said working his shit off. just bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep. Yeah. You know what I mean? But yeah, we got the bus out there. I was working hard to get that thing set up before the guests came on.

Could you repeat that one more time? Did you say I was working hard? All right. The boys, JP and Garrett were working. Worked extremely hard in getting that bus taking care of when it got to Lincoln. We landed in Omaha at probably what, 1130? Yeah, 1130. Drive to Lincoln.

We get there at 1230. We got to stop by Jimmy Johns. I was big on telling the boys, hey, this is where your old man used to go when he was back in college. Really, you know, I had never heard about it. I was very excited to go to Jimmy Johns. You never heard of Jimmy Jones before that weekend. Yeah. I'm glad to have opened your eyes.

It was a banger, right? It's only in Nebraska, right? Jimmy Johns? Yeah. Here you go. So we get to the site at probably what, one o'clock? One o'clock. And so we have 45 minutes to turn the bus around.

The bus is there. Shit all over the bus. It wasn't put together yet. I'm hanging up neon signs. The boys are doing all the back-end work. Go ahead, J-P. I know you want to tell your story. I just love how Will keeps saying.

We got there. We had to set the bus up. It was hot. We were grinding. This is what Will was doing when we showed up. We got to the bus. We unlocked the bus. Garrett and I step on, start going to work.

Will pokes his head in. Remember, we just came from Jimmy Johns. We did not eat at Jimmy Johns. we took it with us. He pokes his head in. You see a sandwich in his hand. And he goes, all right, y'all, me eat real quick. And then sticks his head back out.

Next time we see him, everything's all set up. And he just kind of slightly adjust the neon signs. And he's like, hey, man, we did it. Hey, go on now. I put them neon signs up. He put one up. All right, it was one. But I couldn't help that the bolts, the things are too wide.

So figure it out. I didn't want to break nothing. and y'all you all mess with it more than i do so i didn't want to i don't want to mess up with y'all had y'all were building it i didn't want to start coming in putting it together and then take full credit i wanted you guys to kind of do your thing yeah you know what i'm saying we did our thing yeah thanks to you but we talk about some spooktobber stuff some spooky stuff that we're watching out there um taylor crashes the pod for the love of god with his michigan's fight song music fight song music we talk about the nebraska game of course. We talk about a lot of stuff. What brought the Scott Frost and Trev Albert's segment to life is number one, the University of Nebraska. They reached out to me last Tuesday. We got it all put together last Wednesday. We met about it. We're going back and forth on how we even make this work because I thought it would be impossible to get the bus out there, especially get out there

and like shooting do pods. But we got to shout out the Nebraska social team. Nick running the head of social out there. I hope I'm not butchering that that he's the head of the social department, but he got with the athletic department as Trev Alberts, the AD, he was all in. They got Scott on with us as well. We had them for a good probably. What was it? 35 minutes. Yeah, 35 minutes. And then from there, it was figuring out how we could get everything paid for. Nebraska helped a lot. But first and foremost, Raider fan radio, Swaggy Jeff and Murph. Thank you guys. much for getting the bus towed out there. They hooked it up with the tow truck driver.

Threw a little bit in a sponsor of the bus getting out there. Sid Dillon. Tim Peeper, the owner of Sid Dillon, I called him right away. They were like, hey, is your guys a Chevy sponsorship? Is that national? Or is it, can we kind of figure out any dealership? And I was like, from right there, I was like, I'm going to call Tim and get Sid Dillon on board because I used to detail cars for that man.

Every summer, minimum wage in the heat. I called Tim up on my, hey, Tim, we're bringing the bus out. We need sponsorship money. And I worked my ass off for you in the hot summer heat. It's time to pay it back. So I came to collect. He laughed. He was all in about it.

They helped get the bus out here. So shout out Sid Dillon, the dealership out there. Go to Sid Dillon. If you're in Lincoln and you want to buy a truck, go to Tim Peeper, Sid Dillon Auto and tell him that Wilson. That's one of those buy one, get one free truck deals. And then also open doors. Blake Lawrence at Open Doors.

I called up Blake. Blake was all in on getting the bus out there. The segment, we have the Open Doors helmet sitting on there. But a big shout out to them for, you know, all these people for helping us get the bus out because we would not have been out there, have people not been working overtime within 24 hours to make these decisions. But that is why we got out there. So without going any longer, here's the Trev Alberts and Scott Frost segment of the episode.

We talk a day before the game. We have a lot of fun with them. it was hot as hell. And then after that, we're going to roll into the updated current pod that is of this week on Monday, October 11th is when I am talking right now. So Scott Frost, Trev Alberts, go big red, black shirt till I die. The boys are the best 3 and 14 in the country right now.

Could be, should be 7.0. It sounds good. Yeah, yours is good. All right, boys. How are we doing? We're doing great. I'm doing good now that I'm here. Dude, we got two Husker Legends.

Like, you guys didn't play together. You guys missed each other about like a year, right? We just missed each other. Because you were at Stanford getting homesick. Yeah, 93, 94. Yeah. And then you were, did you win an Eddie? I was failing in the NFL at that point.

Bro, you were drafted third overall? No, five. Five overall? Was it just injuries? Yeah, it was several things, you know, but injuries, primarily. I hadn't really ever been injured until I got to the NFL and hadn't really had to work through an injury. So just sort of between my elbow and both shoulders and I'd had enough. Was it like a mental thing since you hadn't been injured very much and then you finally, you know,

I don't know. I tried so hard. The mistake I made was I blew my elbow out my first game, rookie year against the Seahawks. And I was so badly trying to show them that I was wanting to get back and you know tough guy. I played in the last five games that year. Yeah. Which was really dumb because I wasn't healthy and I was protecting my elbow and that made my left shoulder go. And then I kept coming back too fast.

Yeah. And then it was the wrong scheme. I was a three four guy and I'd never really played. You know, we were going to run a three four. That's why they drafted me. And then when I got to camp, they said they'd made a decision to change and they were going to a four or three and they asked me what position I wanted to. to play. So I found myself playing defensive end at 240 pounds, head up a tackle at 3.30 and a tie

in at 280. It didn't work out real well for me, Will. Meanwhile, Scott's over here winning Natty's with Nebraska. And I was watching and cheering. What's it like being like being from the same generation, winning national titles, Buckets Award winner, all this stuff, and now you guys are like running Nebraska. Well, Scott's running Nebraska. I'm just the athletic director. No, it's great. Having somebody on board that cares about this place as much as everybody around the state and as much as I do. And I think we got a chance to get this improved and keep getting better. And I think we got a chance to take it where everybody wants it to be.

Would it be fair to say you would have, as your NFL career and everything ended, that you would have preferred to be a black shirt over a quarterback? Because you got drafted in the third round. Everybody listening, he got drafted in the third round as a safety. and you're playing special teams. Like, you're the quarterback. Oh, yeah, bro. I didn't play a lot of defense.

They just said, sit here on the bench until it's time for kickoff or kick or turn and then run out there and knock your head against somebody and I made a living at it for a while. Did you like it? Or would you have rather played quarterback going into the NFL? I knew I wasn't going to be a quarterback in the NFL. Those guys can throw.

I was good enough to get the ball there in college when we threw 12 times a game. but I was a better athlete than I was quarterback. Would you say you were Taysam Hill before Taysom Hill was Taysam Hill? I don't, I wouldn't put myself in that category. All right, well, we're sitting here. We got Buckus Award winner. We got National Champion, drafting the first run,

drafting the third round. Who would have thought that I would have had the best NFL career out of all three of us? But those are facts. And look where you are now. I know. I know if I'm just trying to interview you guys, just trying to pop some jokes. You had a great career, Will.

So far, I'm still, like, I'm still trying to get tape out there. I'm still trying to get in the league. No, but it's, dude, yeah, I'm sure, being a special teams guy, too, like transition to the other side of it, like, just playing this long, I would have just never guessed that you can make so much of your career out of special teams and just being a guy who's, like, I guess always ready to play, or, like, always ready to go and being prepared. because I know I'm sure you try to beat guys over the head with it

like no matter what part of the depth chart you're in because every kid aspires to go to the next level like being a guy who can be like a Swiss Army knife or staying prepared or like when your number's called that's when you have to showcase if you've been prepared the whole time in practice and trying to carry it over and being patient and waiting behind guys but I would have never thought I would have made a career out of it

is that something like you feel like you you preach to the kids a lot knowing that they want to go to the league? We talk about all the time and you know if you're the star wide receiver, you probably don't play on special teams, but if you're the second, third, fourth receiver to make a roster, you better be covering kicks and being gunner on punt and holding up gunner. And if our guys want to play at the next level, chances are they're going to be doing those things.

And being able to put it on tape is important. So we've had good buy-in, but if you want to play in the league, you better be on teams. Yeah, no doubt. You just coming into this AD role, you've been somebody who is obviously very well respected. Did anybody who I was just joking with you out there? Like when I was in class, I'm like, I wasn't joking either.

Like when I was a freshman, we had these older professors, no disrespect. But they're like, they're talking about Treve Alberts. And I'm like searching, I'm searching you and just you realize how good of a player you were. Because the person before me was like was Barrett Rood, who is on your guys' staff. And like you've been in this world of Nebraska. You grew up here. What has it been like stepping into this role and like just taking it head? on because you've had to hit the ground run in the sense you've gotten here.

Well, it's just such a, I considered such a privilege and a blessing. You know, I mean, I love this place. You know, that's kind of the unique thing that Scott and I share. I mean, we not often do you have an athletic director and a head coach, both alums who both just love this place so deeply. But it's been everything I thought it was and could be. Certainly there's some areas that surprised me and not in a great way. But that's okay.

This is a place full of wonderful. people full of wonderful potential, a state that cares deeply, deeply invested. And I think, you know, just continuing working on bringing people together, creating that unity of purpose, having something bigger than anything, you know, individually we can do. Because football really matters in the state of Nebraska. And that's what's awesome. And, you know, you want to be at a place where, look, there's some burdens to that, you know. But at the end of the day, if people care, that's awesome.

I don't know of any other place that people care as much as they do for Nebraska football. And I just, I still walk in my office every night again. I cannot believe that I get to serve as the athletic director at the University of Nebraska. I think back to those days like you did when I'm walking around this campus and the thought of, I mean, Bob Devaney was the athletic director. Yeah. When I was here. Did you guys stay at Selleck?

Did you guys stay at these dorms right here? I was Able 903. That's what you were saying. You're like, it might have been Able. Yeah, I was an Able. It seemed like the longest walk in the world every day over to the stadium. But no, this place is incredible. And, you know, there's so many people before Scott and I

that invested so much to make this place what it is. And, you know, our job is to be good stewards of the roles we have. And, you know, work as hard as we possibly can. And we're doing that. We're not perfect. But I'm really proud of where we are. Do you feel like it's coming from that generation of the 90s that everyone talks about all the time, stepping into the role as a head coach now being, what is it, your fourth, fifth year, fourth year?

Have you been surprised by just the way the fan base is when times are tough? There's good and bad fans everywhere. I think Nebraska has more good fans than almost anywhere in the country. You know, we've had a lot of work to do, and it's been great having the sports. support of the fans. Trev said it, the best people in the country live in the Midwest and live in Nebraska.

Hey, say that again. Say that again. Say that again. The best people in the country live in the Midwest and live in Nebraska. And I'm Nebraska and so I'm biased, but that's the way I feel. And there's going to be good and bad everywhere, but I really appreciate the support that we get. Cross-country mortgage.

Yeah. Cross-country mortgage LLC and MLS 3-029, all loan subject to underwriting approval. www. nmLS consumer access.org. Were you, like, stepping into this role, were you surprised about some things that had to be fixed? I was surprised kind of how far it had fallen. Because, bro, you were at, you were a stud at Oregon.

Obviously, you went from all defeated to undefeated at UCF, and then you come to Nebraska, and I'm the same way. I'm holding up the fire. I'm calling winter frost now. Like, I'm ready to just go. I'm like, here we go. We're going undefeated boys. And then you've had like lumps in the road along the way.

Like has it taken you more, like has it been more surprising to you since you've gotten here? Yeah, there's been more challenges than I even anticipated when I took the job. But, you know, you want it to look like it looked. Everybody wants it to look like it looked. But that doesn't just happen overnight. You got to have the right team. You've got to have the right players. You got to have the right attitudes.

You got to have the right level of strength conditioning. There's no doubt in my mind how much progress we've made. how close we're getting to be in the team that everybody wants us to be. We've got another great chance tomorrow to prove that. But the progress has been slow and steady. And I don't want to talk about the 90s with our players too much because they don't want to hear about old men. They really don't, bro. Like I remember old.

You do want to heal about Wilcompton, though. Hey, that stuff's funny to me when Mark Meyer tells me, like, hey, you mind sending shirts out here and stuff? And I'm sorry, do these dudes even know that they're getting coached by Barrett Rude? You know what I mean? Like, because when I'm a guy here, Barrett would come back in the off seasons, and he would help me study film and watch film. And I actually learned how to watch film through Barrett. And he'd be running the quarters with us when we had Dobbs as a strength coach.

He'd be conditioning with us and everything else. And when the boys are messing with me about getting a shirt and this and that, I'm like, do they not know, like, Barrett and Jason Peters? And all these guys are just, like, around them at all times. Even you, too. Yeah, but you have a podcast. I know. It seems like it's the coolest thing to do.

It is. It's very cool. Very trendy. Yeah. Yeah, very trendy. Scott and I are going to start a podcast. What are you guys going to call it? I don't know.

I just came up with that. We're going to have air conditioning on our bus. Hey, I can feel it. Yeah, we're definitely having air conditioning. Oh, I know you're sitting under that suit. By the way, you're the first one to be on the bus in a suit, so I appreciate the professionalism. Well, you know, I try to represent the university as well as I can. Same.

Actually, I do have other responsibilities after this. Yeah. But, no, it's an honor to be on your bus with you. Yeah. Scott, when it gets hard, do you lean on guys like Osborne? And like when shit gets, like, challenging and difficult, like, as a head coach, when you're facing, like, adversity over the past few years, like, are there people you lean on? Like, what's, like, a route you go? Like, I'm always intrigued, like, when I have somebody on the bus, like, going to whatever their toughest moments are and whatever industry they're in at that time.

So for you probably, it's been probably the last few years with Nebraska with the success that you've had coaching everywhere else. Like what are things that you've had to like pull out of the basement or lean on or try something different to be like, you know, what is what's going on right now or what do I need to do or who I need to ask a question to? Well, honestly, when things get tough, I lean on my faith. I've got one judge and people on the internet aren't that one. and as long as to keep that perspective, you know, you're always going to stay level. And we're doing things the right way. We're doing all the right things to try to build the team. So everything that happens is temporary.

And as long as we keep on a good trajectory and keep doing things the right way, it's going to happen. And I think this team's real close to that. I do lean on Coach Osborne a lot. He's in a lot of practice. Ron Brown is real close with the program and lean on him a lot. Go to those guys for support. Those guys have a ton of coaching experience and wisdom, so it's always good to hear from them.

But at the end of the day, you've got to lean on what's most important to you. And for me, that's faith. Dude, Rod's been around a long time. Coach Brown's been around 80. He looks the same as he did. I was going to say, yeah, he looks the exact same too. Is he still running stairs? He's still on the bike sweating sometimes.

but yeah he he doesn't age very not at all i mean he looks like the same guy we check in our hotels and he'd like tell amir abdula he'd just tell those guys like no he's not taking the elevator he wants to take the stairs he never wants to take an elevator at a at a hotel because he always just wants to like stay in shape i guess maybe that's the key just taking the stairs every day yeah i'm sure you'll look like that when you're 60 god dude hey i don't know bro i'm fighting now hey i'm What are you talking about, J.P? Did you ever have to do the ram drill with Coach Brown? No, thankfully.

It used to line up. It used to be like Ben Cotton, Kyler Reed. Yeah, I never had to go on those. It was like old school board drill with like Titus. That's how they start practice. Individual, break stretch, ramp drill. And like the boys used to talk about it in the locker. I'm like, dude, you need nine.

Don't remember. Yeah. Not that I was going to ask you a question about our days, but I want to talk about our days. Where was I going to go? Oh, yeah, yeah. You're talking about how close you guys are getting. Like, you can feel the energy a little bit more right now.

Like me, I'm on record saying the boys are 6 and 0 if we don't have special teams. You know, if we don't shoot ourselves in the foot and we don't have certain penalties, like you always talk about shooting yourself in the foot. And I joke around on the podcast saying, hey, boys, if special teams is in a phase, the boys are undefeated right now. We just got to fix an area. We've got to fix some penalties, and we're rolling. But when you guys are playing with a top five team like Oklahoma,

when you guys are playing with a top 15 team like Michigan State or top 20 team, and you guys are barely losing those games. Like what's the message that you give those guys to still encourage that what they're doing is the right thing? That, hey, we're this close. Because you know when you're losing close games, especially on defense, it's always what could we have done? You break down everything so to such detail that like, man, if I would have just done that, we would have won the game to where you're beating yourself up for playing well on defense. But just kind of complimenting and showing guys and be like, hey, we're almost there we're going to do.

We're going to take care of business. Like what's the message been like since having the season and getting it rolling? You know what's great about this team is we came back from Michigan State and I had a meeting with our Unity Council. And those guys told me they were more confident in the team and who they were after that game than they were when they were zero and zero. despite a couple heartbreaks. There's been a lot to get better. We need to get bigger. We need to get faster.

We need to get stronger. We need to get tougher. A lot of those things have come along. The team's playing well enough to play with and beat about anybody at plays, and that's great. Our locker room needs to hold everybody accountable to do their job. And really, despite all those challenges and improvements that needed to be made, I'd say the biggest one is the belief. You know how when you go into a game, you think, okay, we can win this game,

or you think we're going to win this game. And when you have a mindset that we're going to win this game, then you find a way to make the play to win the game. And that's been the most challenging hurdle to get over. The kids believe they can do it, but there's always been just watching them a little bit in the back of their mind of, we think we can win the game. But when you have that attitude,

there's a little voice in the back of your head say, oh, what's going to go wrong now? Yeah. And when you're a champion and you're used to win and that doesn't even come into your mind, you just think, how do I make this play and get the win? And we're getting there. Yeah, that was well said.

How do you feel like you empower those players that you try and speak to and try and to, like, get that, I guess, personality across? Because I see what you mean, because it's like if you feel like, I think we can win this game, and the moment it gets hard, or goes badder, you don't capitalize on offense, and then the defense gives up a touchdown,

then maybe the sideline. That whole, I think I should have been like, oh, man, we're probably going to lose this game compared to like, oh, we're still in this thing. You know what we did last week is because there's been some things happen to us. I can't even anticipate them happening. It's just, it's been, you know, how the heck did that have? Right, right. Right.

What we did last week is just trying to new tack with them. I think I talked to the team about for three years we've been fixing this and fixing this and fixing this and fixing this, and that's all fine, except then you're focusing on the problems. And I don't want a team focusing on the problems anymore. So I asked him, what do you do? What do you do when you're playing Madden with somebody and it's 21-0? You tell them to get up the stakes.

And you hit reset. Right. So I told the guys, let's hit reset. I asked the O-line, how many times have we fought started this year, and they said, too many, coach, I said, uh-uh, zero. It's not a problem. And I want them to stop focusing on the problems, and I want them to start focus on what they need to do to win the game.

and they came out and played well last week, so we're hitting reset again. We haven't given up any flea flickers. We haven't missed any PATs. It's not a problem, and we're going to get our job done. I'm getting a little juiced up by that little speech right there, Cyril. What do you think? Well, if you want to suit up, especially on special teams, I'm awful.

No, I go that's on the side of it. I'm losing my mind. I saw you on the one where they missed punted it. I saw you in the background on TV, be like, oh, no, it's this way. as loud as I could. Yeah, I know. You and me both, buddy. It's over here.

I know. But, hey, last week you take Northwestern out back and just put them down easy. That was a good step in the right direction. That's a team I got a ton of respect for. They've been as good a team on defense as there's been in our league for two years. We had trouble scoring on them for two years. And everything came together offensively, and the defense played well again. So, you know, that's what it's supposed to look like.

But we need those things to happen so the guys have the conference. and it's expectation that that's what's going to happen and then they go make it happen. Yeah. Well, you went in the halftime, low-key. It looked, it looked like you were a little pissed off. I'm thinking, hey, Scottie, we're beating these boys. We're dragging him. You know, I've had some good conversations with Trave already,

and he talked about coaches that when things are going real well, you go in and you're pissed at your team. Yeah. When things go bad, you love on your team. And there's he's got some wisdom. There's something to be said for that. And I didn't want the boys to let down, so I thought the best way to

approach it was get after him a little bit and they came out and responded in third quarter dude it fired me out what kind of what kind of wisdom is he speaking to well i don't know that i have a whole lot of wisdom but oh come on now you know i it just always i'd talk to other coaches and it doesn't have to be football coaches but you know the times when you win a game the next week in practice you can actually have a really tough practice because the guys are really feeling good about themselves right if you're not careful and i've been part of losing organizations where It seemed like we tried so hard to be winners that we ended up, you know, the negativity engulfed us. And, you know, we took the opposite approach where you'd lose and then the coaches were just driving down on you.

And at the point when the game come along, you didn't even feel like playing anymore. It took the love out of the game. I mean, at the end of the day, I was just talking to Jojo about this prior to walking over here. I mean, football is a game played with your heart when you really think about it. I mean, obviously, but if you get a group of guys, which is what, I'm really excited about what Scott and our coaches have is we got a whole bunch of guys that have great hearts for football. You know what I mean?

Yeah. They're passionate and you can just see it. And at the end of the day, you need more of those types of players. And coach and his staff have done a great job and bring those types of player. And you were that kind of guy. Football, you know, you play with your heart. I mean, yeah, there's technique to it and you have to have athleticism. But at the end of the day, what's inside there? What do you want?

You know, what price are you willing to pay? And so anyway, I worked with some other coaches and a Hall of Fame hockey coach who, it was interesting, I'd go into the locker room and we'd just win five to one against the team we weren't supposed to beat. It's North Dakota. And as Dean Blaze was his name. And Dean would walk in there and just rip the team. And I was so confused, like, how in the world is he mad? We just won five to one is the best game we've ever played.

He'd walk out and wink at me. I don't want him comfortable. And then there'd be times when we look at. so bad. I mean, we couldn't skate with a puck at our feet. And we'd lose seven to one and he'd go tell him, boys, we're close. That was some wonderful. And it was just a little psychology to it. Yeah. And, you know, as a player, there isn't a single player that wants to make mistakes that wants to get beat, you know. So if you're not careful, especially in a state where it's so important, you know, the magnitude of the sort of attention and negativity can just, you know,

just overwhelm your program. Especially kids, too. Especially kids. And especially with what they're, so we're fighting hard on, on the positivity and unity and all of those things. And they're doing a great job. Yeah. Now it fires me up when I had,

I had bow on and we're like, we're talking shop afterwards and everything else. You have one of those machines that bleeped? Did you have the air conditioner on for? Oh, bro. Yeah. It was, it felt much better in here. I know.

We only got a few more minutes, too. so I'll keep it short. I love that quote, by the way. I just know if we dove into it, we would run out of time because I'd want you on here longer. I know I don't have Scott too long. But I would,

Bo and I were golfing, and I finally just got to, I felt like I could talk to him. Like, I could tell them stuff that, like, hey, like, back in the day when I was a young dude and you give up a running play for like three yards and you're on the sideline being like, that's too much.

And then you're thinking in your head, like I don't want to mess up for this guy. But what you think you become and you're out there playing to, you know, not make mistakes other than like playing to go and attack something and play successfully because obviously we all care so much. Him too. Like that's why everybody kind of coaches with their emotions. But just to speak on that, it was like, it's like that thought too is like they're young

kids as well. Like they just got out of high school. Like they think they're so sick. And now you got to like de-recruit them. Yeah. But at the same time, you need to like have compassion with them and everything else to coach him up. You never get into it.

1997, Nebraska, Michigan. Who wins? And why is it Nebraska? You already answered it. I played with a lot of Michigan guys over time, run into a lot of them. Brian Greasy was my teammate in Tampa.

They think they would have won. We know we would have won. We'll never answer it. It's a shame back then. You didn't get to play that game. but I've said this and I'll say this, this is political and democratic. But back in that era, when two teams were undefeated, they deserve to both be national champions.

They had an unbelievable season. We had an unbelievable season. I'm glad we split it. I think that was the right thing. Come on now. You think that was right. You're glad that they won. We're a day away from the game, man.

Scott Frost announces Michigan stole half the island. See the headline now. You got to play with Coach Harbaugh, right? I did, yeah. Do we have some behind enemy line psychology? Any good stories on him? No, Jim's a different cat now. Yeah?

But I love Jim. He was what I loved about Jim during our time. He was a football player. Obviously, he's a quarterback, but sometimes, you know, Jim never separated himself from the team. Jim was really tough. You know, he didn't ask other people. He was one of the toughest guys on the team.

And he was a really good football player. He wasn't the most gifted person. He didn't have the biggest arm. He didn't. But he was a great teammate who held the rest of us accountable. And quite frankly, we went to the AFC championship game, and it was all because of Captain Comeback. I mean, he had a magical year that year in 95.

And so a lot of respect for Jim and our family spent time together. We lived in the same neighborhood there right near the Colts Complex. And so. You guys live in the same neighborhood? I can't afford to live in a Scotts neighborhood. I'm in an apartment. Yeah. You in the dorm room?

I'm not in a dorm. I do have a three-bedroom apartment. I hear the kids now they have like pretty much, they have like condos. They're so spoiled now. I mean, back in our day, it was two bunk beds and a desk and a phone. Now there's no phone, no desk, and living room and bathroom for everybody. Well, they're in like apartments now. It's like apartment style, yeah.

Hey, whatever for recruiting, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, well. You had if, if. It's not able. No doubt. If we had a ring, Scott Frost, Harbaugh's in the ring. Who's your money on?

Scott Frost. I love it. That's what I needed. Say that again? Scott Frost. There we go. In fairness, he's like 10 years older than I am. Hey, youth, you got youth on your side, dude. So do you.

With Harbaugh? Yeah, but this is you versus Harbaugh. Yeah, but 10 years from now, you won't be ready to cover a kick in the NFL. Right now, you could do it tomorrow. True. I mean, time takes it's, it's, it's, toll on everybody. Yeah, but hey, time would take, in this case, time has took

its toll on Harbaugh. Did you just, you're when you're scrapping the fight? Clearly, time is taking his toll. He just looked at me and said that, didn't it? No, no, no. I'm, I see where you're going. I was looking at you. I was looking at you, like, in the situation that I just presented, when it's Harbaugh and Frost in the ring, time took its toll. Father Time caught up to Jim.

Yeah, he hadn't caught up to Scott yet. Yeah, exactly. To get up to Jim either. That'd be fun. I bet he I bet he would enjoy it, too. Yeah. Um, that's about all I got guys. I know you guys got a roll.

I know you got to, you know, kiss and babies and do your thing. But I appreciate you guys for coming on. Oh, oh, one last thing. Were you guys, are you guys, let's talk about the chili and cinnamon rolls. Are you guys the cinnamon roll chili crew? I am. We had that about every two weeks at Wood River High School. It's my favorite meal when we'd get a, I'd get a double bowl of chili and a giant cinnamon roll.

Why is that? When I came here and they're like, oh, Let's go to the carnival. Let's go to this cookoff, a chili cookoff. You're like, okay, sweet. And then you go in there feeding you cinnamon rolls, and it was like my first time doing it out here in Nebraska. I'm like, what is going on out here?

I grew up, and that's just the way it was. That chili and cinnamon rolls went together. I don't know. Maybe it's a Nebraska thing, but it'll be a thing for me as long as I live. I grew up in Iowa. That was not normal. We had cinnamon rolls, and we had chili, but never together. Did you guys get your corn from Nebraska?

Hey, oh, hang on, let me ask that again. We produced fairly decent corn right there in Iowa. Fairly decent, but is it Nebraska-Qaulali corn? Yeah, I did. I went over to, you know, Coach Osborne's son has a best-a-big red shop, and you can go ahead and go all this great Husker gear. I recommend you go. And I bought a shirt from my dad, and it's a red shirt.

It just says, Iowa has bad corn. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw somebody on Game Day, they had a sign, Iowa has bad corn. Also, like, Iowa gets their corn from Nebraska. So I'm always busting, like, a, kiddle's balls about, because we're always arguing about who's going to win every year. I win Nebraska, which, you know, hey, I need the boys bad this year. I've been down bad, dude.

Yeah. But no, man, I appreciate you guys for coming on. You guys have anything? You guys have anything for me? No, good luck, man. Oh, yeah. You hearing from any team? Well, by the time this comes out, it'll be Wednesday.

I think I will be... Really? So I was supposed to go to... Last week, my wife, she was getting surgery to get a cyst removed that had been on top of her ovary and we're 15 weeks pregnant. Everything's fine. Everything's safe. But she needed to get this surgery. Everything went smooth.

But she was going to need, she needed like bedside assistance and everything else and couldn't drive and stuff. So I call, hey, in best case scenario, you know, you could call in a couple weeks and I'll still be ready. But I get that it's a business. And if you got to move forward, then, you know, you got to do that. but we're just going to knock on wood, hope this all plays true, and it would be this next week. If not, you can easily cut this from the time. Yeah, yeah, hey, do you hear nothing on Monday?

Hey, boys, let's cut that out, cut that out. Good luck, man, that'd be awesome. Yeah, I heard from them, and then a couple others, like, early in the training camp, but that's been about it. And then training camp, like, you know how it is, like, you feel like you've put, like, a resume together to where every team knows pretty much what they're going to get, like the intangible stuff, and, like, okay, he's a, plug and play guy he's good depth everything else so in my mind it was like why go and put more

wearing tar on a body that's getting older and when i can just you know train my train train myself and like try and stay healthy until season comes but how many years you got going on nine bro wow that's unbelievable 32 years old i'm catching you yeah he's going to have about seven thousand dollars a month at 55 50s yeah that's nice 401k seven he's no yeah what do you get what do you'll still be living on this bus. Yeah. Hey, Scottie, how this weekend?

We will have air conditioning. Yeah. No, I'm fired out because I came to the spring game and I was just joking with Scott. I'm like, hey, we get the bus in Nebraska. You're going to get on?

No, and like, we'll probably never have the bus in Nebraska because we got to tow it. He's like, yeah, come on if it came here. Look at us now. With the pension, you could buy a new bus. You're really a little bit of a one that actually runs.

Well, hopefully, you know, Chevy, Chevy pays us a little more. then we can just buy another one. There you go. Why not buy another one? Yeah, Garrett's always sweating hardcore. Just one for the road?

Yeah. I can stay at home. This looks like American Pickers should want it. Hey, dude, do you think... He said American Pickers. Hey, do you think... Sorry, I'm like thinking of another one because I'm looking at that Open Doors Helmet.

Open doors helped get the bus down here, by the way. Do you feel like you, when the surge came out and NIL dropped its bomb on the planet? Do you feel like it's been easier to approach? Or has it been more difficult, like, trying to, like, get your arms right? Because I feel like day one when it comes out, everybody's kind of, like, running everywhere with their heads cut off. Like, let's get the team in. Like, let's talk and talk about, hey, guys, like, let's keep the main thing, the main thing, yada, yada, yada.

Now that it's kind of unfolding, do you feel like it's getting easier to maintain because of the help and resources you have here? I think we have a long way to go. When it came out, everybody was trying to figure it out. And it's going to be a consistently changing landscape. ever-changing landscape. But I think we're just scratching the surface on what it can do for Nebraska athletics and Nebraska football. And if Nebraska fans are behind this and Nebraska companies are behind this,

I think our players are going to stand to do as well as anywhere in the country. And there's a lot of work to get it there, but I don't think we're even barely scratching the surface on what it can do for us in our program. It's got to be nice at Open Doors is a hometown team. Yeah, we've got a lot going for us. And the biggest thing we have going for us is the fan base and the interest in Nebraska athletics, not just football, volleyball team, basketball teams and baseball team.

I think there's a lot of ways that our student athletes can capitalize on it, and we're just getting started. Dude, I dropped a few grand to try and have the boys sell those shirts for me. Yeah, how do they do? I had these, the boy. Dude, we're at, like, 2000. Two thousand shirts? We're dominating Michigan.

Taylor and I, like Taylor went to Michigan, obviously. We had, like, this $10,000 bet of who would sell more shirts. And I'm like, bro, I swear to you, I promise Nebraska is different. He's like, Michigan's different. I'm like, well, Nebraska's different, different. And then we're like going back and forth. And I'm like, all right, well, let's just, let's bet and see what happens. And we're just dragging him.

It looked like, you know, you guys last week against Northwestern. Yeah, well. And then I started, so then I went to open doors. That's like one period of practice worth of pay for him. So I'm sure he'll be fine. Yeah, yeah. And then I get on a high hop on open doors. And then I just start, I think I paid about, or I tried paying like 50-something players on the roster.

Like, hey, boys, are you guys trying to push the shirt? Got a lot of help, man. Yeah, good. But I appreciate you. you guys from, I know it's hot. I know it's very hot. Yeah, good to see you. Thanks, buddy. Yeah, man, good seeing you get. If he wants to comment on it. I've seen this coach. Hey, can you, can you, can you touch that? No. I got to go. Have you seen that? No. Oh, you've never seen that?

That was my first year in broadcasting. And I showed a lot of real room empathy for the poor guy. Yeah, Trevor, he's hosting Bruce, who is it, Bruce Smith? Bruce Smith. So my first or second game as an NFL player, and you know this, I was a quarterback. I never played on any special teams. And they put me a left wing on punt. And the first punt we run out there in Buffalo,

and we're about the 45-yard line and it's defense state for Buffalo. And basically first plays NFL guy, I'm lined up, and Bruce Smith is going to rush the fun on me. Oh, my, hey, stay inside. Hey, Scott, stay inside out. I got trucked. I got absolutely flatbacked.

And Corwin Brown, who's played at Michigan, was a veteran safety on our team. He was laughing at me, and I came over the sideline. He goes, dude, next time, just cut him. So later in the game, we went up again, and he was right. If you cut one of those guys, they're not going to rush much anymore. I don't have any interest in that. But, man, did I get embarrassed on the first one? Bro, you're on an island out there on the left wing.

We both have a good Bruce Smith story. Yeah. It was just, you know, I was in my first year. whatever in broadcasting. And the truth of the matter is that happened. And I did show a real lack of empathy, and I really felt bad about it. It was so bad that... How would you know what to do in that situation?

Did you see him? He kind of just like... There was a media critic at the time named Rudy Martsky, who wrote for the USA Today. And he called, and he said, Trevor, I need to talk to you. And this is live on T&T. It was, I don't know what, two days before the Super Bowl in Atlanta. And he said, hey, you know, I got quite a few people calling saying, you know, you didn't really try to help him.

And the only thing I knew how to say was Rudy, I totally agree. I'll be honest with you. They walked through a lot of things with me as I didn't go to school for this. One thing they did not say is if the guy falls over, do this. You wouldn't expect that like if a woman's going to fall down, you're catching him. If a little baby is about to fall down, you just naturally. That's Bruce Smith. He's 285 pounds.

And then I panicked and I said, Bob back to him. you. Yeah. You even step back. He didn't even step toward him. You're like, ah. It looked like he was. Yeah, over here. Bob, back to you. But the good news was Bruce was fine, and his agent called us, and everything worked out. That was your first year. It was my first or second year. I can't remember. It might have been my first year, but it was the first time. So I always just was sitting there at the desk and, you know, the guys, you're just this propped. And they'd ask you questions. You can always respond to questions. This was the first time they took me off the desk. I stood in front of, this is a long time. ago. We had plasma TVs then, you know.

We're going to move you over here and you're going to do this interview. I'd never interview anybody before. And so here we're standing there, first experience. And the NFL Hall of Famer. That'll never happen to him unless he passes out. Well, if we stay on this much much longer, we're about to fall over. Oh, all right, boys. Yeah, this is awesome.

Thank you. You guys need anything for the game? Are you guys good? Georgia Boot. Shout out the boys at Georgia Boot. I hope you guys, hey, I hope you guys are enjoying this episode. I know I am. Huh?

Yes, sir. I love it. Hey, if you're watching on YouTube, leave a comment right now. But Georgia Boot, guess what, boys? It's Mocktoe over at Georgia Boot, and they have the world's most comfortable mock toe boots on the planet. They're the world's most comfortable boot and the hardest working boot in America.

And for over 80 years, Georgia's been making work. boots that work as hard as you do. Tough enough for your job, cool enough for everything else. Georgia boot makes super good looking and super comfortable boots. So comfortable, you'll never want to take them off. An example, we're at the Husker game over the weekend. As you'll hear in the episode, I watched most of the third quarter in the training room. I wanted to lay down.

I wanted to get off my feet because the dogs were barking a little bit. I was in some regular shoes. When I should have been in some Georgia boots, because they are super comfortable and they look good, and I would have never had to take them off. I could have stood out there on the sideline the whole time. But I wanted to change the atmosphere. I wanted to change the luck a little bit. Fortunately, it turned it around.

So credit to me for getting all my feet. But that's not the point. The point is Georgia Boot would have saved my feet from a rough post-game experience. I had to do a little bit of recovery after the game. I know, JP. Go ahead, JP. I am in the middle of an ad read. But go ahead and tell you a little story because it pertains to Georgia Boot and that of which I should have worn.

Yeah. If you would have had Georgia Boot, we could have got out there. we could have gotten out of there a little bit earlier. I did about, what, 20, 30 minutes of rehab? It's a rehab. Some recovery? Will got a full post-game recovery treatment from the Nebraska staff. Shout out to the Nebraska training staff.

No, for shout-outs, Mark. Anyways, Will was with us. He's like, I got to go put my feet in the cold tub. They're killing me. So he's in there. One of his former teammates was giving a tour to some... His high school players. His high school players.

And he's walking through the training room, pointing out all of the awesome amenities that the training room has and he looks over to the cold tub. He's like, yeah, we got our guys in here. You know, this dude probably just sprained his ankle or rolled his ankle and he's, you know, soaking him right now. And then he does a double take. He said one of the kids was like, is that Will Compton? No, you're, yeah, the kid goes, wait a second. Isn't that Will Coffton?

Will Steve, and is like, what is he doing in there? Doug. They came in the doorway, the whole crew. He goes, Will, what the hell are you doing in here? Everybody just starts laughing because I'm in their ice in my feet after the game. I'm with two of the Nebraska players there at a cold tub, and I just got my calf. Caffes down in there. It might as you.

Nebraska has just come off a heartbreaking loss, and Will is in the ice bath. Act like he was out there. So we need him out there, boys. Yeah, we need you, Georgia Boot. Yeah.

I hope you guys loved it. Please share it. We grow as much as you guys do. We're about now, we are now about to transition into the current events part of the pod where I talk about the weekend. We, all the boys talk about the weekend. We brief on what happened over the

weekend. We talk about some spooktober stuff. Taylor interrupts the pod. And we just go toes and it gets really emotional. It gets a lot of high arguing. I think there were tears in there at one point. And then we make up pretty hardcore at the end. But, yeah. So now, you know, now we're going to go into that part of the episode. I kind of budget that last part.

But, hey, subscribe to the pod. Leave a comment. I'd tell you one thing I learned over this weekend going to Nebraska. And that's JP has all the deals known to man. My guy every week, he's like, hey, God, you're going to smoothie king. There goes my deal of the week, man. That was going to be your deal? Yeah.

We're going to give you a deal of the week segment brought to you by JP. Is it hovey, hovey, hovey, hovey. Hovey. Will. Just disrespect you on the. I've been here for six months. Brought to you by J.P. J.P. Javee. Deal of the week.

What is your deal of the week for the people watching? For the people listening. Tell them where they can go. Tell them where they can have a great deal. So Will kind of spoiled it. They're, y'all missed out on some great deals this past Monday, Tuesday. next week I'll try to give you a little bit more of a heads up this week we got $5 Friday at smoothie King

any smoothie 32 ounce 46 ounce you tell them Will sent you they'll give you their new 55 ounce smoothie yeah you can get protein in it you can get some vitamins and all everything you need at smoothie king for $5 on Friday that's your deal of the day I love that I love that deal of the week segments Simple. Chains.

JP, he's a young cat, so he's kind of like all of us in college, right? He reminds me of myself in college. Like, you're always trying to go and find those Buffalo Wall Wings deals. I won't see them. Yeah, come on. You always trying to go get those Applebee's deals, all those different ones. We're going to save you them because JP's going to deal you one each and every week. Right.

You look like you're ready to say something again. Yeah, I mean, you've got to find the deals when you're a little bit underpaid. So that's the main reason I'm into it. I like this second. Your free internship is going to pay off. one day. Keep working hard. Did you see Eddie from Barstool? I did. He did a free internship for five years before he started getting paid. That's not a very good business. He's in Forbes now. Good for him, but I don't work like Eddie. What does that mean?

Eddie let people take advantage of him. No, yeah. Yeah, I don't have anything else for you. Except for a race. So the boys, we all went to Nebraska this weekend, myself, JP and Garrett, hey, is that going to go down as a weekend of the year in 2021? We lost. You know what? It's very disappointing that we lost, but I'm saying the experience that we had,

we've never taken the bus on the road. But it was crazy, man, getting the bus towed down there on a flatbed. John, by the way, so we had the sideline passes, right? We were on the sideline for the game and everything. I'm telling John, like, hey, if I get you a ticket, do you want to go to the game? He's, oh, yeah, that'd be awesome. John's our tow truck driver. And we get down there, and we have an extra sideline passing wristband.

And my man, John, he's just on the sideline with the boys the whole game. He's wearing a – was he wearing a Nebraska shirt? Nebraska tee. Yeah. And some electric blue jorts. Some jorts, some high – you know, those high dad ankle socks, those white socks that go up to the bottom of your calf. With the two strikes at the top? No, but they were –

They were all scrunched together, and then he's rocking some old-looking new balances. The dude looked incredible. I see him middle of the game because I didn't see him before the game. So we're running around. J.P. is hooking him up with the sideline pass. Probably the second quarter, I look over and John's standing there just watching the game. Like, hey, John, what's up, man? He's like, yo, this is crazy.

And when we got back last night, he was like, man, thank you guys so much. I wouldn't have traded that experience for anything in the world. Bro. So shout out to Nebraska for hooking it. up. And I will ask you guys this because you guys were Michigan. You guys were pro Michigan. We won. You guys won. We'll get to that. We'll get to that. But is Nebraska not different, different? Yeah, Nebraska is different. Yeah, Nebraska is different, different for sure. You know, growing up in SEC country, we just like kind of think the big tens of...

You think every other conference is like below you guys, 100%. Yeah. Not that they're equal with the SEC, but they're definitely serious about their football in Husker Nation. I think them, you know, Nebraska's a dry campus, so that might, you know, keep them a step below. But they let them drink and party at the union. And I think that brought the energy known as the big cop energy. Big Cob energy. I think the bus being there, too, is electric, bro. Dude, people were fired up, man.

The love for busts with the boys down there is crazy. I was going to say up there. but, you know, same difference. Hey, and you say the SEC is a superior conference, right? Like, we have five teams in the top big 10 right now. Absolutely. Or we have five teams in the big 10 in the top. We know what you're saying.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have five big 10 teams in the top 10 right now. Yep. You can argue that we're the best conference in America at this state, at this part of the year. Through six weeks, it could be an argument. But when you guys start playing each other, we'll see how by the end of the year, what it looks like.

I mean, we have been playing each other. That's what's crazy. And what's your record? We're three and four. We're three and four. There is a legitimate argument. There is a legitimate argument that we could have been seven and oh right now. That's facts.

The only game I will give is Illinois, the game open of the year, we did look like shit. We didn't play that well. Granted, special teams kind of lost it for us a little bit. But that's the only game I would give that. We would be, if we're playing in this coulda fantasy world, we're 7 and 0, more probable 6 and 1. But as far as these teams, that all three of them, Oklahoma, Michigan State,

and now Michigan, all ranked. Oklahoma's in the top five, right? where's Michigan State in Michigan now? They're in the top 10. We could have, and a couple of those games, should have beat all three of those teams. And this weekend against Michigan, we're playing against the refs.

You can argue that we're playing against the refs. The bullshit call, did you guys watch the game? Did you guys actually watch the game? Yeah. How does that play not get blown dead on the fumble? I know. I do think it's a bang, bang call. Like, it's tough.

When y'all was watching, like, the TV copy, when I was going back and I was kind of like scrubbing back and forth to see how long he actually was stagnant, you're looking at two whole seconds of the game clock, almost three. There's an argument it could have been bowling dead, but it's like, you know, you got to secure the ball and shit. They made a good play. It was just a fucking bummer because the boys had the momentum.

When we came out in the second half, Garrett and I, we stay in the training room. I'm like, we got to change up the luck a little bit. Let's watch the game from inside. and my feet were hurting so I need to get off them boys and dogs are screaming a little bit yeah

so we stay in and the boys come out of the gate score that first drive which is what you need and we get a turnover and we're just rolling we're rolling in the third quarter I think we outscore them what

22 to can you bring up the box score I think we out scored them yet 22 to 6 in the third quarter and then you go where they dim the lights and they do that where they cut the lights off. You got the red rock and you got flames going up.

You got ACDC banging. Everyone's holding up fourth quarter. Like we had all of the momentum. Were we getting calls? Yeah, but we were getting calls on like reviewed plays. We weren't getting calls like off the benefit of a penalty call. We're getting calls because old boy's knee was down before he handed the ball off. We were getting like.

I thought the reviews were good. Yeah, the reviews were good. Yeah. I think the biggest. penalty that had a big effect on the game was the PI that they called on Jojo on on Joe Joe before halftime yeah that was fucking brutal yeah the guy runs into jojo Joe Joe doesn't even really do anything to the guy and the guy stops mind you the ball's overthrown like it's not even catchable and when they called what do they call a delay

game on us on 28 for clapping his hands yeah but didn't they say that uh we could they couldn't do that because of Michigan's cadence had a clap. Everyone's cadence kind of has a clap. Martinez does this before the ball goes. But you're in Memorial.

You heard how loud it is. The boys are trying to communicate. If you're looking at the game, I hate that I'm messing up his name because he's a good, he's a good fucking linebacker, 28. It starts with an R. I just don't know.

I don't want to mispronounce his last name. But he's just looking over trying to get somebody in position because the dude standing next to him can't hear him. So he literally leans over and the ref is right in front of him. he's looking he's looking at 2-8

and the guy just leans over and clasped like hey hey you got to be over here it's all he did is he clapped two times uh rhymer reamer reamer rimer dammit i'm sorry luke rimer but all he did is look over and he claps twice trying to get his attention because hey you got to hurry up and line up he just right in front of the referee claps twice

hey you got to go over here and the ref just throws a flag and walks up there like it's not like he's leaning up on the lineman and clapping like you're looking at him trying to communicate in the loudest stadium in the country Nebraska fans. And that play was bullshit. Then there's a few others. It was hard to keep up with because we're on the sideline.

Then you kind of see stuff after the game of all the calls that were happening. But just stupid penalties, bro. And apparently these are the same rest that were part of the Oklahoma game when we were getting atrocious calls there too. They were quick on everything too. That was the quickest, like, calls I've ever seen. Like, he was on the mic making the call immediately after the whistle. Right.

Like there was no convening, no throcious. thought, it was just, hey, this is the call and I'm making it. And I think that's why those calls ended up getting reversed is because they were making them way too quick. Yeah. This episode of Bustin with the Boys is brought to you by Revitalite Black Label.

I'll go get it.

Five Yet Hey To the concrete heroes hell, hell to Michigan. Fucking yes, dude. Fucking yes. And we're back.

And let's adjust the camera because I kick some things over. What we do? We do a Chevy ad? We probably just did one Chevy ad. Maybe he talked about how the weekend was average at best in the Lincoln, Nebraska. Why?

Because that means it was a 10 in Lincoln. If you say, how is your ship in Nebraska? And you say average at best, they know that was a fucking 10. Why? Because it's Lincoln. fucking Nebraska. Whoa, whoa,

easy now. And I know that it was a great game and we had a good conversation about it. But you know what? Fucking gold blue, buddy. The Wolverines. The Wolverines stroking themselves into a bye week,

feeling great. I'm all in. What do you guys rank right now? Eight in the country. Why'd you ask? Top 10. Yeah, I know. I know.

What do you is? We're the best three and four team in the country. Oh, is that right? We are. That's what the fuck we are. Without special teams, you guys be the best team in the country.

Yeah. And we, we, it's hard when you're playing Michigan and the fucking referees. What do you mean? Are you kidding? Did you not catch, what was that before two minutes? When they called it back, touchdown, called it back, touchdown, called it back, called it back, and then a DPI. Are you talking about the reviews when you guys obviously didn't score?

And then obviously they weren't going to do shit in the fans, which Nebraska has phenomenal fans. I think we saw it. I think, I think it was amazing to see them get as loud as they were. But to see them fucking cheer and the rest go, we can't let these people down. This is literally all they have. That's what they said to themselves. This is all they have.

You saw the reviews, bro. And that DPI call before halftime? That you guys, that ghost call on Jojo Doman when your receiver just stopped right in front of him. Yeah. And the ball wasn't catchable? Guess what? Boom!

You know? Hey, get you guys self something nice. Alex. Boom, dude. You got the only non-football guy in here supporting you. You're the only guy that doesn't even like football. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He's cash in a check with us, dude.

Wait, wait. You're paying these boys, bait. Our bet was based on shirts. Oh, no, no, no. That was just because I love you. That was, got you got some extra spending money in my pocket because I fucking love you. You know what I'm saying? You know?

I saw the boys. I looked at them. I said, man, these guys been working their ass off and they've been supporting the boy. Tough, high times, low times, everything in between. Here's some fucking spending cash, boys. Get yourself something nice. Hey, the smoothie king deal of the week. Hey, well, I was just talking about giving a little extra money.

Look at that. Hey, he did. Santa Luwan comes in, dude. for the segment because he St. Luan, dude. He always has these deals so we're doing deal of the week. He says $5 smoothie king on Friday.

God bless. Hey, there you go. Yeah, that's 20 smoothie. That's actually 40 smoothie kings. You're welcome. You've been living the dream this weekend. Hey,

what we say on the last five is money changes you. Oh, oh, there's no question. Oh, there's no question. I just think it's, I was driving. I was going to go get my IV and I called Bobo and Bobo said,

hey, Roger's going first, so you have an hour. And I thought, what would I do with my hour? It's obvious. I'd go see the guys that have supported me and make fun of you for sucking, dude. Make fun of your team for sucking. Now, well, hang on, we don't suck, though. You guys won. Congratulations.

Congratulations. But let's give credit to where credit, too. Is Nebraska not a good football team? You're going to say you're the 18 in the country. Eight team in the country. If you were to say Nebraska is shitty and sucks, then you guys aren't going to be there long. Like let's put a little respect on Nebraska's name.

No, no, here's you guys have. So losing with less than 13 points total between Michigan State, Oklahoma, and Michigan. What was the line? What was the line? Three and a half? Oh, okay, so we covered that plenty. No, you did. Oh, we didn't. We won by three. You guys won by three.

Sorry, no, I was thinking of yesterday's game against the jacks. I had a boy taking shots at the knocking yesterday. You know what I'm saying? Listen, not only when you go into Lincoln, Nebraska, are you playing 11 guys in the field? You're also playing an outstanding fan base. all right an outstanding fan base so do i give the fan base credit where credit is due yes what do you got what do you call them the black shirts or is that the defense that's the defense the black shirts played well too you guys played well you guys did good you know what I'm saying since it's 2021

and we're dishing out participation trophies everywhere congratulations to you guys and I'm very happy I really and you know what they got some orange slices after the game a caprice sun and they went home you know what and they probably fucking went hey guys it's okay we try to hardest like the way you're talking right now and ell's an l buddy and you know what michigan's probably gonna lose one this year too and i'll eat that when that happens but right now that's crazy that you're saying they're probably gonna lose one this year yeah you know hardest to go undefeated yeah but if i'm eight in the country and we're six and oh right now you think i'm saying anything about the boys losing yeah but you live in a fantasy world dude you live in candy king land with gum drops and

rainbows filled like sprinkles come out of them like you're just you're fucking a fugazi dude this failure doesn't enter the mind when we're undefeated is that okay yeah but you don't know what that is like so you're you're just you don't know what that is like so you have no room to tell. Wouldn't have you ever been undefeated in anything? Haven't been. Undefeated? I don't think so.

Yeah, ever. I think a freshman in high school. If I was, you're the kid that comes up to me and goes, if I was six, seven, I'd be in the league. Like, that's you, because you're not.

You know what I'm saying? So you assume you could be. What are you talking about? No, you're not. There's no question. I'm the guy that's like, if I'm six seven, call yourself first round.

This is not going to be a shit on Will Day. You're not in the league right now. Okay. Right now. And I know that's going to change. Hey, you're good enough. I understand. You're good enough.

Let me tell you some. You're fucking good enough, dude. Can you say something? Just you. Will Compton, let me get the circle, is enough, okay? You're fucking enough, dude. You all right? Yeah.

Now, it doesn't change my love for you. And I want to talk about this t-shirt sales thing. Because you guys, we covered the spread in that one. in that aspect. And I don't think it's Michigan's fault. We have the best fan base in the world. Here's the problem. No, no.

No, you don't think you guys have the best fan base in the world. We have the largest living alumni in the entire world. We're the winningest program in college football history. We have 115,000 people at every single game. I don't need to talk about, like, I'm literally talking stats. I'm not talking about if, butts and maybes. I'm talking about factual fucking evidence here, buddy. All right?

I don't speak in ums, you know? I'm telling you, we got the best fan base in America. Now, here's the problem. Now, here's the problem. They really showed up, didn't they? Dave Portnoy ghosted me. Okay? I watched it happen.

I didn't. Unreal to watch. I didn't. I put me and Will in a group chat with Dave because maybe I was a little nervous to text him one-on-one because I thought he for sure won't ghost me if you're in it. I texted him. I texted him again. I think I've texted him five.

I single text texted. That's Spanish for five. Okay? Yeah. I text that fucker five times and he did not respond. Now, I get it. The man's busy. He's got his one bite pizza going everywhere.

And if you guys do, it's a 10. It's unbelievable. It's at Walmart's fucking everywhere right now, right? It's killing it. You should absolutely go eat that stuff. And when I go to, I say, Dave, that's my ace in the fucking pocket right there. If Dave promotes it, we're going to win. Why?

The following. When you're in the season and you have the ups and downs that you are normally going to happen in the season, I can't be on Twitter being like, hey, sorry about the L, but please buy these shirts. You know what I'm saying? Hey, tough loss for the boys, but please go ahead and buy these $30 shirts. You're building, what's happening right now is you're making these excuses when you made the bet. And I literally know, the bet's still made.

I literally said, hey, I'm just letting you know it's different, different. Can I tell you something? Can I tell you something? That's not the only stack, buddy. All right? I know the bet was made. Okay. And when the, when the fucking, when you're trying to pay the Piper?

I can't, no. You know what? because my job is to play football. I love to do this every day with you, but I can't. All right? I got it. I'm playing ball. You're saying, like, I was wanting you.

I didn't want you to lose the bet. I just knew you were going to. Yeah. Because I knew my fan base, regardless if I had anybody, if I had any superhero with me, like a Dave Portnoy, I did come in late with Big Cat, but even the day one sales.

I knew my fan base. He needs to buy 20 of them things, by the way. Yeah, he does. I was surprised you didn't hold him to that yet. But I knew my fan base was going to rock and buy these shirts more than your fan base was going to rock and buy those shirts. Yeah, because you live on social media.

And that's not why. You've done it well. You have a mannequin dressed up as Taylor Luan. You have like statues around Michigan. You're a first rounder. You're like, oh, Taylor Luan went to Michigan. Will. I didn't have none of that.

And all I got to say, say, boys, can we go buy a shirt? And the whole fan base ready to rock and die for the bull. Did you, okay, I was on the phone with Will for 30 minutes yesterday and he was just blown himself about how he went to Nebraska and people were fucking loving him.

That is such a lie. He was being cheated like a four-time All-American triple-time first-round drafts. He was being cheated. That was out of your mouth. Here's the deal. He goes, hey, how does it feel, dude? He goes, it looks like you were a four-time All-American.

Ten-year-hall-famous footballer. He goes, and he goes, and he goes, and he goes, yeah, I was kind of like that. That's what you fucking said. Are you that rattle? That is so crazy that you're that rattle right now because your fan base didn't have your back the way my fan base has my back.

Listen, it's our fan base number one. Okay, right? Now when it's Michigan, Nebraska. That's fair. But there's a nucleus, right? Nuculus? Like, nucleus. I think the wings are here.

A nuclei? That's plural. That's two. I think it's nucleus is one. Fucking, we're the yolk and the egg. That's the biggest nucleus. Okay? That's the buses.

Yeah. Okay? You have the bus and you fucking just vomiting on Twitter all the time. And I love it. Why? Because look how much you've done. Will fucking look at you. You look how much you've done.

Did you just come here just to see me? No. I'll sign something. Oh, hey, that helmet goes hard, by the way. Where's Michigan? Yeah, we got some tough times of Michigan. Like, listen, I fucking love Michigan. I'm all in on Michigan.

Michigan State is up next. Fuck Michigan State. Fuck, Michigan State. Fuck green. Fuck white. Fuck East Lansing. love Jack Conklin, but fuck Jack Conklin, dude. Fuck Michigan State and we're going to donkey them too. Where's that game at? I think it's at Michigan or Michigan State.

Fucking good. Go there. You know the last time I played at Michigan State? You know how we did? Negative 49 rushing yards. That's how fucking good we did. Trash. Negative 49?

Oh, we got donkey. And you know what they do? Fucking Mike Will Cross every single time. Can we block it? Nope. You know, any guy's not offensive line got drafted? Three. What?

Yeah. I don't know. Huh? I thought we had a bye with somebody here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, bye. Northwestern and the Michigan State. Okay. We got Michigan State.

Ryan Fitzpatrick's the head coach of Northwestern. Big fan of him. Great guy, great attitude. The facilities at Northwestern unbelievable. But you guys are, you guys aren't Michigan. I'm sorry, this is what it is. You guys aren't Michigan. You're not going to beat Michigan.

That's a rollover game. That's a pad of stats game. You know what I'm saying? That's Aiden Hutchinson getting mold. multiple sacks game right there. Oh, Aidan Hutchinson. He's a beast. It's a guy.

Yeah, Aiden's a beast. I saw, you know, I love how, I love how he went to the locker room right after the game, wanted to tweet about me. He tweeted about you? Yeah. Right after the game. He was in the locker room for three minutes.

They wonder how we'll come in doing. Yeah, that's what he said. Should we check in with him? Yeah, give him a ring. Oops. Oh, hey, that was an accident. I didn't need to, that's kind of just the thing. That's going to be your ringtone when you call me now.

God, you know what's better than being good when you play at Michigan not playing at Michigan anymore and then watching them be as good as they are now being so proud of that. Yeah. You know, because we were trash

when I was there. I know. I know. Won that game. Shout out Brennan Givens for the game winning kick. Let's call Aiden Hutchinson. Let's see what Aiden Hutchison is doing.

Hey, we will have to. Hey, that shit was funny as hell. Man, it just feels fucking good. It's brutal right now. I'm not going to lie. It hurts out there, doesn't it? I feel down bad. Hey, you got something to say

to our boy? He just goes, oh You see, we actually just got out of our team, you didn't get out of our players in the games. You guys said players of the game being an unranked Nebraska team, you guys are feeling good like that? Don't let him phase you, don't let him phase you.

The environment was a plus, all right? That was pretty damn cool, but, damn, fans wanted to tear down those goalposts so bad. The fans were ready. You guys were to storm the field? You guys were to storm the field over just a Big Ten win? Over, yes, 100% beating 8 Michigan.

Nine Michigan at the time. Top 10. Hey, who were the players of the game? By the way, you're on Blessing right now. So don't, don't say anything you don't want to be heard. They're about 12 of them. Oh, my God. 12 players.

A lot of guys. We're just handing out trophies. Just handing out trophies. Just handing out trophies. Is that what it is? Yeah. Look, look, I just, I watch. Yeah, you can say whatever you want.

Talking all that shit. And I actually made that tweet out to you on Tuesday right when I heard that. Oh, my God. He had a premeditated tweet. What's up with Michigan guys going right to Twitter after games? Don't let him get you. Don't let him phase you. Don't let him phase you.

That's just Will. He got new teeth and he thinks he's got fucking confidence now. Don't let him fucking get you. He got these teeth like three years ago. Chill. Take the yell like a man. He's right. I did everything I could.

I feel so bad for you because I know how bad you wanted to celebrate. I was right. I was running down there by the student section. I was like, hey, we're all storm in the field. Oh, the 31-year-old man is trying to get the student section. 32-year-old man is trying to get the student section to storm the field. Hey, great ball. Great ball.

We'll get you on the pod after the season, all right? Great work. Dude made the tweet on Tuesday? He fucking premeditated your ass. Taylor just texted me. What's you say? Oh. Gosh, damn it, dude.

Hey, Jack, I think we bet to spread. We said straight up. I think me and you bet to spread, though. No, no, no, no. I got 200 from Taylor, but I'm actually expecting 1,100 from you. Oh, you bet you win as far to bet on Michigan? Me and Will bet the entire bus. Take another one.

Take another one. Take another one. Call those fun coupons. Fun coupons. Just seeing how married you are to them. I'm not. The boys can have that. Why?

Because they support. You guys really can't have that. Actually, my wife would be pissed. I would go home and she'd be, where's the money going? I'd be, uh, uh, I got caught up in the moment. Yeah, and then he also bet the Tennessee, what was our bet? Well, so initially I tweeted out if we did 25 shirts, which in hindsight, yeah.

And you got to hear this story. You do your thing. Hang on away for Taylor. Yeah, I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm just texting Taylor. I got to get my wedgy out. All right, boys.

We interrupt this episode for an ad read for rowback.com. Got out the boys at Roeback, Roeback, Roweck, act of wear to be specific. You all know Roebuck, best fit, best feel. It's football season, the best season, which means it's hoodie season. Luckily for you guys, Roback just re-stocked their performance hoodies, and I'm not kidding when we say these boys are the absolute soft as most highest quality hoodies in the game. The material is out of this world soft, and the stretch is unmatched.

Nobody does hoodies like the boys at Roebuck. They also drop some new performance polos, and trust us when we say the designs are fresh, perfect for the golf course, or a night out with your girl, they scream versatility. We've worn these poles 100, hundreds of times, and the collars look brand spaking new each every time, each and every time. The fabric is just so soft.

Roeback's gear is popping up all over the NFL. From our little boy, Quentin Nelson, to the Bengals D. and Sam Hubbard, Roeback is quickly becoming the go-to-act-of-wear in the league. Will Compton was spotted wearing Roeback. They also have the biggest apparel sponsorships in college sports with Notre Dame's Kyle Hamilton, and Georgia quarterback J-T. Daniels officially joining the Roebuck fam.

It's fair to say Roebuck's gears popping up all over the place, especially when Robeck is partnered. They didn't mention this in the Addery, but when Roebuck is partnered with Bustin with the boys, you know their shit is popping off. So if you play football, you're a football fan, or you're a Bustin fan, you wear Roebuck. It's as simple as that.

Use code Bustin, B-U-S-S-I-N on Roeback.com for a generous, generous 20% off of your first order that's spelled R-H-O-B-A-C-K-com for 20% off all your polos, Q-Zips, hoodies, and T's with code busing. Hop on the Ro-Back bus now because it is taking off, so go check the boys out. Rowback.com. Do it for the boys.

Always and forever. Are they here? Yeah, we got them. All right, cool. Oh, man. Huh? Let's hear it. You got to hear this story.

Let's hear the story. Ah! On why he won another thousand. Let's hear the story. Last week on the pod, I made a comment about how Tennessee fans wanted a boy shirt. So we took to Twitter. We stormed the gates.

We had a ton of responses. People wanted it. We released it. I said if we sold 25 shirts in the first day. In the first day. In the first day. Then whatever. So 2019 comment?

So just started the bus comment? Slanders me on Twitter and he's like, if we do 250 shirts in 24 hours, I'll give you $1,000. If you don't sell 250, I have to buy the remaining shirts up to it. What was it, Will?

After 24 hours, like 500 plus? No, it was like 40. Oh, Ball's fans goes hard. Because now you wanted Tennessee to beat Nebraska, Nebraska did 580 and day one. Well, we also- Did 100. Just, you know.

I can't tweet like that, dude. I can't tweet that during the season. It was crazy as we promoted. We promoted and still, I think it was like 140. Yeah, it's tough. They'll get back on board. Listen, here's why Michigan, it's okay that you didn't buy. I've said a lot of things for other years

that you're probably upset about. And I want you to know, sorry go ahead I want you to know that it's not it wasn't you the fans it wasn't the school it was my situation at the end of my career

that made me so upset with Michigan that being said I'm all fucking in I'm fucking in all right and I hope this makes it through everywhere I'm fucking in

I've been making little cracks at Rabel this might be the year walk by him I am sure does doesn't say a fucking word about it actually ignores me

every single time which is really upset setting. But those, hey, those balls, shirts go hard. And the Tennessee volunteers have a very soft spot in my heart, even though I've

doubled down on a heart a couple of times. Here's why. Is that right? Soft spot? They have a soft spot. You have a soft spot. I have a soft spot in my heart for them. Yeah, Alex. You know what? That's fucking, he's trying to derail me because he's on your team. Michigan and Tennessee

in the 90s were probably the most relevant football teams. Get the fuck out of here, dude. Nebraska is the most relevant team in the 90s. And you'll have your turn to talk. So right now, shut the fuck up, Will. Well, daddy's speaking. Hey, do you want to go to your room?

Hey, 42. Do you want to go to your fucking room right now? 4217 Orange Bowl versus Tennessee, Nebraska, over Tennessee. The year we split the national title with you. So he is going to go. I'm just saying you're saying Tennessee was the most relevant team they were. No, I'm saying Tennessee and, okay, let's start again. Tennessee and Michigan were one of the most relevant, dominant teams in the 90s.

Okay, that leaves a little room for you to assess. slip in your corn-eating friends. So, since then, Michigan's had a tough time, and the Tennessee volunteers have had a tough time. Now, Tennessee, you're going to get, what's Tennessee's record right now? They're doing well, aren't they? Yeah, we had a huge win against JP's alma mater.

Oh, JP, where'd you go? South Carolina. Give me a hundred back. It was 28-0 in the first quarter. Just fucking trade. Give a hundred to Jack now. We have a huge game this weekend against Old Miss, though. Big weekend.

Yeah, Barstool is doing their college game day there as well. so any stoolies out in Knoxville? The special teams coach hit me up, but wants us to get the bus out there. Really? Outstanding. So here's the deal. So Tennessee, I'm with you.

I support you too. And honestly, I support Nebraska. I think it's great now that it's moved on. Like, we've kind of just kind of speed bumped over in Nebraska and we've gone past that. I think it's,

I'm back on Nebraska too. I'm a big fan of the school. I'm a big fan of the people that come out of there. Love Dobson, Levanti David, love Wilcompton. Bo Polini. I was a huge fan of him.

You know? So I'm fucking, I'm a Nebraska guy too. It's just nice to know What should be and is is Michigan on top You know what I'm saying And you guys will get there Keep your head up

I was just thinking we can't let this last week Like divide us like this No no no yeah no I think as soon as this pod's over We move on we're gonna be back And also what's what the Brascault always having a quarterback With the last name Martinez I don't know but he's about to shatter like every record By the time he's done

Yeah he's good How about that forward progress when he had the ball stripped out of him And then again we were talking about that Tough for you to see. Yeah, because I was just like looking back at it. It was like a full two seconds on the game clock. It was stagnant. Then got stripped.

It just sucked because you... You guys got a lot of calls in that game too, so it's kind of weird that you said that we're finding out. We fucking didn't. We got calls overturned. We got calls overturned. We got calls overturned because of bad calls made. But we can't review penalties at these... All those calls were close.

Which means they should have stood. Did you see the delay a game that we had? No. Where the kid just tries to get his... He tries to get my man. his attention because it's obviously so fucking loud. He tries to get his attention and say, hey, you're lined up over here. The ref is literally

looking at it. This is Nebraska on defense. On defense. And a ref throws a flag. Calls delay a game because clapping is the cadence of Michigan. Well, you guys can't try to cheat then, huh? All I was saying, we can't let the last week divide us. I'm going to stay there. Yeah. Even though

we're talking about phone calls and what we say in phone calls now. Listen, every time I tweet you, I'm assuming that it's going to get out in public. with you. Every time you tweet me. Tweet, text you, sorry. Oh, come on now.

When have I done that to you? You've done that a lot. When? I'm pretty sure when I tore my ACL, you announced that I was getting surgery before I announced that I was getting surgery. I might have just said that on Twitter. I didn't screenshot your text. Is everything okay, dude?

I hit a lot on the head yesterday. I'm a little fuzzy. I'll be like a lot's living in there. How was the pot? Did you guys do a full pod with the AD and the head coach? Or was it just like a little deal? We did. How long was it again?

35 minutes? Yeah, 35. That was that? Solid? Yeah, it was solid. I was a little, you're sitting there with an AD and the head coach

and they play the next day. Yeah. So I'm like, and then people are calling me beforehand like, hey, what questions are you going to ask? Like,

you're feeling like this weird pressure or not like. Yeah, like you're all of a sudden a real journalist? Yeah, like I'm Stephen A. Smith.

Who does, who does Nebraska play next? Minnesota. Oh, that's a dub. The Golden Gophers? What do you guys play? At Minnesota? We're at Nebraska.

I don't know, he's jumping everywhere. are at Minnesota. Minnesota. Minnesota's got a cool. And then we got Purdue. I almost went to Minnesota. Really? Do you know that? Why Minnesota over the teams they're recruiting you? My dad, my dad went to Minnesota and so they were putting a pretty big press on me. And that's a cool, the campus is cool. I like the uniforms. I like the purple and gold. I think that's pretty cool. I was always, or maroon and gold. And of their colors, Minnesota's colors. Really? Yeah.

What do they say, Scola? What are they, that's what, that's what, that's what, that's what, that's the Vikings. can say, what do they, what does Minnesota say, though? They have, they have something like that too. Go-Govers? No, they have something also that's like, scoo-y-ma, ski-y-uma. Sky-uma. Sky-uma.

Yeah, so they do have the thing. So maybe I'm not an idiot. Anyway, I almost went there. My dad walked on there and they were like putting the big press on me. And I was actually thinking about going there, but then I realized, like, I don't want to lose a bunch of games. I can't be, you know. Yeah.

I don't want to. trying to go to Minnesota. I want to say in the last five years that they've been all right. I think Minnesota has. But yeah, when we were playing like Minnesota's garbage. Garbage school, for real.

More than anything, Minnesota Duluth is a hockey school. They rip. Man, I thought we were going to beat you guys, dude. You know what? When I started to go...

He said hockey school and I was thinking to my tweet where I was like, you guys are a basketball school. Yeah, I saw that tweet. When we were going back and forth, I was like, I know I said this on the phone, it was a good fucking game. Dude, it was awesome.

It was a good game. And I'm sure it was hyped to be there. Maybe Michigan, we can mend these bridges. Maybe we can go, you guys can go next year to Michigan. Oh, you got to retire after this year. We got to tour the country next year. Yeah, it sounds like it's getting to that point, huh? Dude, I will say, I mean, obviously, like, take this with the grain of salt, people listening.

I'm 100% on football, so let's chill the fuck out. But I do. So chill the fuck out. I feel like people are like, you got to stop doing podcasts and focus on football. It's like, dude, this is an hour. And the rest of my life is focused on football. You had to wait for your IV. Let's go fuck around will.

But I did get some FOMO in Nebraska. When you guys read Nebraska, I had some FOMO about that. For real? Yeah, I really did. It seemed like a really cool experience. It was cool. And they treated the boys awesome too. They treated JP and Garrett.

Like, we were back in the fucking locker room and equated. Like, these dudes were doing whatever they wanted. Not like they were purposely doing it, but they were just treating them well. That's rad. I was in the middle of the free game. Like, Coach, he's fucking up and I'm like in the middle of the hunter. Are you filming it? Yeah.

Oh, that's fucking eye. He goes, you think I can film and I go ahead. He's like in there. And the coach's like, closer and JP's like in the mix with all the boys. Oh, that's fucking hype, dude. That's awesome. JP did the tunnel walk.

Yeah, I was dapping fans up. No shit. Yeah, that's so rad. It was the little kids and stuff. They were like, who is this guy? Like, oh, it must be the kicking recruit. How nice are Nebraska fans, by the way? So nice.

So incredibly nice. The coolest thing with the Nebraska fans, there was like this 80-year-old grandma, front row. Stand up, get up. Screaming. Oh shit. 80 years old.

Get on her, dude. Good fucking on her. That's awesome. How did you... Okay. Now, based on this question, there might be more exchanges of currency for you, you two. Well, you guys didn't go.

What? Did you guys go? Go where? To Nebraska. I was there. Garrett, J.P. What were you wearing on Game Day? All black.

Do what was anything, Nebraska? It said the boys on it. Was it that shirt? Maybe. Handed to Jack. already spin it already spin it already spin it

no everyone was asking where you were though everyone was asking where I was yeah we're like he's got a job he's got to I'm in Jacksonville yeah it's funny did you say this in the pod or did you say this in the pod that Nebraska actually asked if I could come on Saturday

someone goes yeah this might be a weird ask but is there any chance like Taylor can come to and I was like no it's Saturday he's going to be in Jacksonville Flying flying to Jacksonville Take a quick P-Jet Over to Lincoln

Like get hype with the boys And cruise back over to Jacksonville Golly Hey brave You mind if I go to our Nebraska tailgate And I'll just fly to Jacksonville Right after

That's so funny Hey Do we were having so much fun there We were like walking to Where we were walking from Just parking We were parking We were gonna go in

And uh I forget what we were doing But we go in And we were like Leo Let's get a game day Let's get game day We were going to get a pump in Oh yeah

that's right we got a workout in good on you and we were going in we were walking by the statue and I was like yeah let's get some game day photos like we're walking in all dressed up we're just having the most fun

dude just red just it was a blast yeah it was that picture of you laying in front of the cheerleaders so do they come up like who's this old guy yeah they were love and will were they yeah dang they came and they're like

will you take a photo and I was like yeah sure it was a good time you were a legitimate like an A list celebrity like this past weekend it felt like it I had like you're thinking back on all the things you did for you're for Nebraska and you're like what the fuck have I done to be out here waving the bus with the boy like yeah it's not Sue it's not David right it's fucking confident but the thing is like Eric Crouch got inducted into the Hall of Fame for Nebraska earlier that night yeah I want to say the crowd was just going nuts and we're just waving the bus with the boys flag how but how's how big up the student section how hyper like that's got to be an amazing feeling for you oh dude it was incredible yeah like like like talk to me about it fucking get you fucking get you

Give me some information. Go into detail. Like, the dude, like, undrafted. You want me to talk about myself. I want you to talk about yourself.

But this is me opening the door saying, talk about yourself. Like, undrafted. You already shit on me for the phone call we had. Yeah, but we're moving, we're not going to let divide us.

I thought you fucking said, we're moving on now. Like, what do you mean? Like, the only way we can move on us if we both move on. Yeah,

like, you mother. Like, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna fucking shit on you while you're talking. Legit, like, undrafted cat,

go play. obviously you've had a good career, but at the same time, like, it's not like you were an All-American in there and stuff like that. And now you go back and as you're being treated like a king. How does it make you feel? It's just nuts that they're loyal to like their alumni like that. Like I know we do busting with the boys and we do all the dumb shit, but knowing that they have a lot of alumni that watch as closely as we do every year

and support them. Like they do everything like this staff, not the one before that with the Riley staff, but this new staff opens the doors for like all the alumni, for like all the players who play in the league. because when we go there, they're always talking about, hey, spring game, would you guys want to come? Like, they always have a dinner for the alumni, the players that are playing.

They love you guys. They do all of this stuff for the guys who played before them. And I just think they do it right. And for them to, like, accommodate and put the bus in the bone yard tailgate. The bone yard is like the student section, right? In the main tailgate area, right where the buses pull up, bro. Oh, so they all saw it. The buses pull up where the players drop off,

Scott Frost and all of them start walking right in that corner, right where it starts, the bus is sitting there. Hype content. Dude, it's just unreal. And they took care of it. It's just cool to know, like, the few people I still know from when I played there because it's not a lot of the same staff. Right.

There's love turnover. But the few that are still there, like, just, I don't know, it's just cool going back knowing that I guess you have, I guess, the freedom to walk around. Everybody's just way too good to us, bro. A dude was talking about how we just, like, busts with the boys that just changed, like, changes his life. Really? And it's just, because.

we goof around so much and we're like making jokes and we just have the most fun all the time it's just it's weird hearing those comments because you go from like joking with jp and them to where you're like okay like i need to be serious i'm taking this compliment because people really do like fuck with us heavy that's crazy it's just nuts man well it's like the bar's been set michigan i think michigan would be the same way bro like i hope so not the flux is going to sound like a flex but like you felt michigan players and michigan people is looking at like We're still about it. Yeah, they were still about it.

Yeah. I hear the couple say, oh, the boy. And it's just, it's just nuts, man. Like pregame warmups, dudes are saying the boy. Yeah. Hey, Jacksonville was that way, too. It was weird. There was Jacksonville fans like yelling the boy.

There was bustling the boy's flags out there. It was fucking crazy. We were driving down in a, in a truck. I won't say what kind of truck. But we're cruising and a Michigan fan was like, Hey, Will, that's not a Chevy. Yeah. We pulled him next to him and I go,

I go, go big red not today. And they kind of looked and we had to turn around. And when we came back around, he goes, that's not a Chevy. Oh, they were killing you. Yes, bro. Was it a rental? Yeah.

That's why. Like, obviously, the rental companies, the rental companies are always going to do the cheaper vehicles. They're never going to give you the nice quality vehicles like the Chevrolet. Yeah. That's, I mean, I'm sorry you had to go through that this weekend.

It sounds like that was kind of a bad deal. It sucked. It had to be what it was. We just said, thanks for watching. Yeah. I drove by. I mean, I'm surprised you guys didn't break down on the way to the wherever you guys were going.

Because that Chevy. I know. It's so durable and reliable. When I'm not in a Chevrolet, I'm like, I hope I get to make it to where I'm going. You know what I'm saying? Fortunately,

you have one. And you never have to worry about it. I never have to worry about it. Never ever. I had that damn thing on E for a day. That thing was just like, we're still going to make it, buddy. Yeah.

You're the most dependable people out there. I was selling it sold just to get me to the home. Yeah. I passed like two guys. She's just in the way. I was like, let's see how this goes. Yeah.

this thing I when I think about this bus and like how much it's accomplished it's fucking mind-blowing it really is it's wild

how much people support the boys I wake up Saturday to that text from the from Coach Eccler the one who got the tattoo that Beau was talking about when he was on the bus because he's at Tennessee now

and I wake up to a text from him Saturday morning before his game and he's like hey you need to get that bus in Knoxville next weekend we could probably hook it up I don't know why you wouldn't go

it's going to be in Knoxville the games in Knoxville or it's where old miss it's the games in so is the bar still show so oh that's a win-win you got to go yeah that's how it's just a lot of work it's something that kind of just we're making the shirts and we're doing all this stuff for the fan bases right like the fan bases that we've played for and stuff and now all these other people like demanding that they get shirts made it's kind of just like a a concept that's happened last minute it's not like we've planned on you know transporting the bus everywhere like we're transporting the bus and we're scared shitless because we're like fortunately we found some Nebraska bars

that let us use neon signs when we were there because we don't want to travel with those because we don't want to go with those yeah 100% and then we're like we got to break it down like you can't have all the spooky set up like these dudes all the boys I don't know who all put it back together but everybody puts all the stuff back together for this episode on Monday bus just got back late last night

yeah you guys did a phenomenal job this looks amazing very spooky in here you got any spooks how spooktover been going Spooktober's been amazing uh no it's been good I definitely, I missed a, because of the injury, which I will not talk about,

the thing that happened to me at the Jets game, I didn't go to a haunted house, I didn't want to be moving around, which is a bummer, because you only get so many a year. We haven't been able to embrace it like, it's been a tough embrace this year. Oh, fun little note, boys.

I've officially made it more games than I did last year in the... Really? Yeah, five games. I heard in the fifth game. Let's fucking go. Yeah, I didn't think about that. So after the game,

I was like, dope, dope, dope, do, do, do, do, do, do. But yeah, dude, we're just watching a spook. I got my, so my daughter, when she's four now, put on a hocus pocus for her. She loved it? Yeah, she was,

she was in and out. You know what I'm saying? You're like doing the thing, hey, hey, hey, but watch the scene. But watch the scene, you're not going to get it. You're not going to get it if you don't know why the cat's talking, you know?

Or whatever. So that's been a cool experience. Talen and her mom just absolutely destroyed the decorations at the house. Have you been to the house since? Yeah, I was there the other day. Oh, it's right on Thursday. You coming over again for a line dinner?

Yeah. We're doing it again at the house again. You got to stop coming at me like I'm fucked up. But you're saying some wild shit. I know, but you're making it seem like I'm fucking wrong in the head right now, and I don't like it. It makes me insecure. You make me feel like I got something going on up here. It was literally over there four days ago.

You know how it is during the season? Like you kind of just, after four or five games, you kind of just running in. It's all one day. Yeah, it's all one day. Like Wednesday is the same as Friday to me. Holidays go by. It's crazy. And that's why it's like,

Spook-Tobber, you really need to embrace it because it's like, it goes by so fast, middle of the season, you know what I'm saying? Then all of a sudden, it's Thanksgiving.

And then on Friday, this Friday, Halloween Kills comes out and the boys hooked it up, yeah? Yes, bro. Sweet, I got to text all the boys that

because I was telling some of them, I was telling KB about it. And he's like, oh, yeah, we're all in on that. So they seem like, everyone seems like they're about to go to that thing.

I'm starting to get nervous that it was, I should have done a bigger one. did you not do the bigger one? There was like, oh, there was a 50-something one I did the 70, like 78. I think there's like a hundred and something one. Yeah, I might have to do that 100 piece. It might be a little late for that, though, yeah?

Maybe. I just paid for it. They've been on my ass like for a month and I finally just got to it. Yeah, well. Halloween kills comes out Friday though. Yeah, and so the boys are a hype to do that, which I'm hype about, but I want to go to a hundred house. I've only been to one this whole, this whole spooktober. Have you been to one yet?

You haven't done nothing. You haven't really, you've had a, you'd have a tough time embracing the spook right now. I don't know why we've got to bring that up. We're not dividing with. We had a work weekend. I couldn't go last week. I had a work weekend. You didn't try to catch one in Nebraska?

The weekend before was Charles Surgery, remember? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was going to go with you. I know. I know. Hey, pregnancy, dude. Prentice is a bit of the deal, huh? I know, bro. Yeah.

How's she doing? She's doing good now. Yeah. She was in it, though, for a few weeks. I know, that poor girl. I know. She was grinding, but no, it's been solid. But yeah, it's been tough getting to the haunted house on the weekends

because of the Nebraska this past weekend and then her thing the weekend before. But as far as what we're watching, Midnight Mass, I know how I saw on you about that last time. Yeah, you're hyper-minute mass on Netflix. That is a good flick. A little slow to start. Go ahead. A little slow to start, but very well written. There's a lot of depth in context with those writers because they did The Haunting on Hill House

and haunting of Bly Manor, which I told you the last few years to watch. Yeah. But it's the same writers and producers. So it's an awesome. Midnight Mass is a great flick. I love that. One show that's been pretty rad. It's not like a traditional spook,

but it's definitely got some spooky vibes is that squid games. Everyone talks about that. That thing is wild. I love it. Everyone says like from the jump, from the first episode, they're like, you're locked in.

Oh, you're hooked. Dude, you want to watch the whole thing. It's crazy. That fires me up. That shows crazy. Looking at the spooktober calendar,

that trailer for the movie old. Have you ever seen that trailer? Yeah. It looks a little intense. It could be cheesy as hell or it could be solid. I've heard it's pretty good. Yeah? Yeah.

I think our roommate went to go see it and he was all about it. It was a fire little deal. Is that in theaters? Because I saw that on Apple TV. Yeah. It's crazy how that thing is all changing. The streaming thing. Like theaters are becoming a thing in the past.

Which is kind of a bummer. My rookie year in the league, dude, I loved. I loved like Thursdays after practice by myself. Nice little popcorn used to chew back then, put it in a fat lip and just watch a movie. Fucking love watching movies. Chewing popcorn. I was all about the iceis, dude. Getting a slurpy, getting a little icy.

I bet, dude. Raisinettes. I fucking bet you were. Slurp it up a little bit. Whoa, dude, chill. We're talking about icies, dude. Yeah. All I know is you're talking about slurping it up a little bit.

But yeah, dude, fucking... Go to Halloween Kills Friday, though. If you want to do what the boys are doing, we're getting... Yeah. We're doing that. Bleep, bleep, bleep. Oh, we can't say that? Well, we just don't want people showing out.

How many people do you want to show on it? I want people showing up, maybe. But we need the team. We need the boys in their plus. Everybody that's going to show up to actually. For real, though, that's a good point. Yeah. We'll have a nice, I think a poster to take a little photo with.

Oh, that'd be nice. It's giving me a nice deal. I can't wait. I love team things. I love doing things to the boys. You know what I'm saying? We had a little set up big pumpkin patch with the team on the 19th. Really?

Tuesday. Yeah. I'll be there. Oh, yeah? A bunch of guys bringing their kids and stuff like that. It was cool, man. God, I'm tired. shit. It's crazy how much energy

you have to take during the season. It's wild. Yeah. Got me all insecure by my brain now, dude. You're making me think I got that. You're just throwing weird, random stuff about that. What am I saying? You said, first you said I posted a text from you last year when all I did was say thoughts and prayers. Text and tweets. Hey, hey, I think it was too like, and we can find it to put it on YouTube, but it was like a thought

and prayer thing of like Hope and Taylor's surgery goes well. Like you would already, it had already been known that you, we did a podcast on it. It was a statement more than anything. Yeah, and I was just like, sorry for thinking, thinking about you. Yeah. I wouldn't let everybody know that I was thinking about you too. Put some retweets.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but listen. You making it sound like I'm fucking gone here. No, I can't help that you say something. My brain has to process for a second. And within that second, it lasts really long in your head to where you're like, hey, I got, you know, I was a little banged up. You like, have you been in my house recently? Like, I was just over there. Dude, you don't think about that.

And you know what it's like, dude. You know what it's like. Is it hard being out of it for as long as you have? I know it hasn't been a super long time, but like kind of remembering what it's like in the middle of the season? A little bit, but like, not to like bring up stuff, but when you guys lose games,

you kind of just, and the week goes on, you remember which specific days, like how they kind of go and flow. Yeah. Like when we lost, when Nebraska lost, like I'm sitting there around all the dudes in the locker room

and you're just kind of feeling like, you just, you have like nostalgia of that stuff. You know how like they're feeling. And you know there's not really much to say. I'm more aware of like the spot that I'm in now, like as much as I would want to say something, you just know that you know how they're taking it.

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I feel you. It's like if you're down bad and somebody, some alumni or somebody that's out of the game comes up to you and says something, you're just going to like nod and appreciate it, but it's not really going to... Yeah, but you're at the same thing that you're not in this.

Correct, correct. So it's more of like, if they say something to you, you say something. I remember like when I was playing college football, watching guys in the NFL, been like, man, they got it all fucking figured out, don't they? Right?

They got that shit all. I'll figure it out. And now I look at kids in college. They have no idea how fun that is. No clue. They have no clue. Even me now, like, knowing that I've been off and on, like, when I get signed late and stuff like that, like being out of it throughout the season before I went to the Raiders and this year, you kind of think what the guys are going through when you guys lose games

and how, like, damn, I know how their brain is because I know how, like, free mine is a little bit like when you're not losing and not having to go in the next day to watch film and get coached and like live in the bubble yeah i remember when you guys started off that two and four year before yeah in 19 and i was sitting there like and it was our first year of the pot too and i was just stressed as much as you guys because it was my first year not playing and you guys were losing i'm like damn i got a post about this busts with the boys it was so fresh and new but when i went to oakland and we win a couple games you just realized like you don't even care what's going on back in national because you're just in such a like everyone's in like their own bubble like in the

football season. You know what I mean? No one's thinking about like Kansas City losing the bills yesterday. Right. Like, like, except for Kansas City fans. Exactly. You know, we're all kind of just doing our thing. That's the most fresh thing in my mind because that game was on last night. Right. But like, and you know the fan base? Outside your bubble, it's not, not a lot. Right. No one really cares that. And you know the fan base that's shitting on the players of like Kansas City and like their defensive guys and stuff. Yeah. You're kind of just watching the game and the way I'm sitting and watching it. I'm just like, oh damn. That was a good play by them or oh, man, he should probably made that play. But you're not like, you're not like wanting to try to get. But knowing like,

you're not killing the guy. But knowing like if they were all team and my fan base like if you're a fan like how everyone just lives with anxiety and just emotional about it wouldn't it be crazy if like fans looked it at that way like not as if like watching the game like oh damn that's a big play yeah yeah they're just watching the end of some guys wide open and they're like the nearest guy to that body they're gonna yell at oh yeah yeah 49 you piece of shit yeah like like that's trashing oh that's crazy dude uh the jacksonville game yesterday we were like the third quarter something like that and these fans Jacksonville fans like um Jacksonville fans like 77.

For whatever reason I looked and they're like, you're fucking trash. You're fucking trash. And there's a trash getting right next to me. I'm like, I'm pointing to me in the trash. I'm like, yeah, you're fucking trash. I was like, I'm fucking trash. I'm fucking trash.

Yo, back at the video. Yeah, I was like, I'm trash. And they're like, yeah, you are fucking trash. And then we're kind of both getting hype about me being trash. You go over high five. Yeah, they're like, and at the end of it, I think we left friends. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you're fucking.

I'm like, yeah, I'm trash. I'm like, we're the same. And I'm like screaming at the trash can. Yeah. It's fucking weird, man. Yeah. So is telling us. Frank our strength.

He's cooler than I thought. Frank our strength coach, he's like, isn't it so weird how people would be like on a Sunday? Like, hey, LeWan, you fucking suck. And then they go to work on Monday, be like, told Lawan he sucked. Like, what do you get out of that? You saw my tweet? You see my tweet? You see it?

Got a couple of retwees. He gave him that fucking business. Got six likes on this one. That's crazy. I love, I love. I love educated fans. What do you say? He goes,

Don't talk about my numbers. Hey, shit, Chit Chichichael. Will is running that Twitter shit, though, dude. He is fucking on that shit. The boy is repping it. And it used to be annoying to me.

I'm doing what I can out there, bro. I used to be annoying. Why is this man I was tweeting? And now it's like, holy shit, this dude gets like, you have a little fucking following. Bakhtiari hit me up the other day.

What do he say? He said, hey, bro. I love following your Twitter. Did he really? Hey, Baciariari's, He goes and fires me up watching you grow in this field. I love it, dude.

It's amazing, too, because, like, I think that's a perfect example of when people go to start a business or start their own thing. Like, there's always going to be people that are like, what the fuck's this guy doing? Like, oh, he's trying. He's trying so hard. Like, why is he trying so hard? He's not getting anywhere. And then, like, it grows. Everyone's like, fuck yeah, dude.

Dog, I know. Isn't that crazy? Because, you know, too, when we're first starting, like, we're talking every day about, like, is this cool or not. And, like, there's probably, every pod. Every pod was like that. No one when we're starting it up and I'm tweeting and doing stuff. I'm just like, part of you feels like you're a tryhard sometimes because you know people might be thinking that way.

100%. But now it's like, I don't know, it's just different. It's just, it's fun now. No, your shit's hilarious on Twitter. The thing I think is so funny too is, clip that. The thing that is funny too is like whenever like we lose or you always like between the Raiders, Washington football team and us. Like you always find a way to get that dove that week, dude.

Dog. That shit is so fucking funny. This past weekend was only you guys, bro. Thank God. Washington lost. Raiders lost to the, the bears, I don't know what fucking happened. And, yeah, Nebraska

obviously lost. Thank God for the boys. Oh, hey, the main boys. The main boys were rolling. Hey, were your main chick? Yeah. Them side pieces didn't do it for you this week, huh? Oh, Lee, yeah.

That shit's funny. Do fans get mad at that? Are you fucking... Really? I mean, you might lose some, but everyone knows that we're just, like, fucking around. Like, damn, it's like that. The thing that's funny about your Twitter

is like your Twitter's always been funny because like I remember when you were in the when you're in the hot tub and fucking Malcolm Butler thought you were the kicker and I saw and I saw that tweet we just we just like just met or like

right before we met we just met and I thought that shit was so funny and I remember people being like hey if you want to follow funny like a Twitter profile will's the profile and I just remember like thinking that shit was funny

and now it's like on steroids because you have like all these different outlets now so there's shit kind of going up Just fly. Hey, you see how we meant it? You see how he came in? I know. I felt it.

This is how I used to date in college, dude. I used to break the shit out of them and then be like, hey, but you're beautiful. You're smart and you're funny. Yeah, like, I remember the first. I was a terrible boyfriend in college. I was a terrible boyfriend in college. Anyway, all right. Yeah, this has been good.

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

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We get to ask other people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being and ask questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick.

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. Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you thought it was. Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Danny Shapiro.

And these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is. Getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is.

Getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akila Hughes. And Rebel Spirit, Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
