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

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

Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from. some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel,

help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.

Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the Aihar Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome to another episode of Bus with the Boys. We are your host, Will Compton, Taylor Lawan. If you are listening to this episode at 6 a.m. bright and early in the morning, go ahead.

What a way to start your day. Right, right. Hot coffee, driving to work, whatever the case may be. Go to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, wherever you get your podcast. Though the boys a little subscription, it goes a long way. Also, this episode will be dropping on YouTube at noon. So if you're watching the premiere right now or you're watching the episode, make sure you're subscribed with the boys

because again, we are how many percent unsubscribe? I believe it's 70% William. Yeah, 70% of our audience is not subscribed to our stuff. So make sure you do that for the boys because that helps out. Now, this podcast is always brought to you by.

Oh, I'm sorry. That's my fault. I try to jump the gun too early on you. You're good. I thought you were going to talk about the people we had on, but you're about the most important best vehicle on the entire market.

It's dependable, durable, reliable. The Chevy Sovorado. It is, advanced and dependable, just like the people who drive them, you. And they put their heart and soul into the thing, which everybody wants to know when they drive a truck, which is the tailgate.

Shout out Chevy Severado. Let's get some energy in here right now. Let's go. We're running on EV. Endorphins were so high about 15, 20 minutes ago because we had a banger podcast that you're all going to love. And right now I'm kind of coming down right now. You know what I'm saying?

I kind of feel like, oh, man, that was outstanding. And I'm sitting in this crazy folded chair. You did the whole time. I'm fucking proud of you. I was going back and forth. I was up, I was down. I was a selfless. Leaders eat last.

You know what I'm saying, Will? Mancenaic shot him out. Leaders eat last. But the Chevy Silverwado is so unbelievable. They have the multifunction tailgate. The one that goes down, the one that comes up. It's the best, most reliable, durable vehicle on the road, just like the people who drive them.

Gotta love that. Each and every one of you out there listen to the boys right now. Now, we have a couple of house cleaning items that I think we should head on right now. And that's just a quick moment of silence for our boy Bloss. Unfortunately, yesterday I got a call from Bloss, and he said, hey, what did it feel like when you tore your ACL? And right then there, there's no way to start a conversation.

No way to start. My man's at a trampoline park with his girl. He's jumping around, having a good time, probably trying to show off a little more than he has in the past, you know? Probably doing a little bit more than he should have. Right. Calls me from the hospital. He's got a couple things going on.

And it sounds like you got the final verdict. What was it? He tore his ACL and Patelotendon, which is brutal. My man said he was laying on the table. His kneecap was laying sideways, and he couldn't even lift his leg. The doc was trying to get him to do a leg lift. He couldn't even lift his leg up. My man said he felt like somebody threw a bowling ball at his knee.

That's tough. Because he was doing slam ball. My man was doing slam ball. How old is Bloss, man? Bloss is 33. 55, I think. You've got to be careful on them trampolines. We're not young anymore.

We're not doing the fake wrestling on the trampoline anymore. are the killer, but really the trampolines. The trampolines are the real killers out there. I firmly believe that. Firmly believe that. But just a quick little, we had that moment of sounds for Blasson. It's sad. It's frustrating.

My man's got himself a little bit of a journey ahead of him. But we all know. What's that? Probably years were a journey. To feel 100% back normal for sure. He's got a bit of a deal ahead of him, especially with the Patella tenant. I don't know what that life is like, but usually...

He's fucking brutal. And you used the Patella to save the ACL, sometimes. You tear your ACL, they use my Patella. What are they going to use? I have no. For people listening who don't fully understand what a Patelot tendon is, it's that gigantic fucking tendon right below your kneecap. That connects to your shin. And so you kind of need that to do regular shit. You know what I'm saying? People live their lives without ACLs. People do it. People go and they live a healthy, active lifestyle. The Patel on the other hand, you got to have it. You need to have it. You need to have it, dude. It's like a whistlepade,

dude. It's like having one of those drinks. It's like having a blackberry lemon phase. You got to have it. You got to have it. You can't function in life without it. But it's a next man up mentality. It's a next man up mentality and rocking that right now. I'm assuming because he's sitting in the seat,

JP has definitely assumed that position. So shout out JP on the promotion, right? Shout outstall. He turned in his iPad this morning. We had to let him go. Sometimes you got to cut a man loose, but it is just business. It is just business.

How to bring the playbook in? It's a bit of a deal. If there's anything we can do for you, give us a call type of mentality. But until he can get off the, you know, the best ability is durability. You know what I'm saying? Best ability is availability. The best, and the best ability is durable.

I think I just said it also, right? We both said it in different ways. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that was a fun couple of phrasings for you people back home. Will's already talked about you guys jumping on the Spotify, jumping on the Twitter, jumping on everything, subscribing, rating five stars. Please continue to do that.

But now it's part of it's time for our favorite segment of the week. I don't know. Another house cleaning item. Holy fuck, man. First day, first day with the baby. Yeah, I mean, we could have done that and then gone. But yeah. But you just said some house cleaning items.

We still have that we still, we also have to hit on the, we also have to it on the bus and spring to our party that we had. Yeah, okay. A little main greet. Yeah, absolutely. Well, then go ahead. So, Will, how was your first day? First evening, really.

It's really not about the day, it's but the night. I appreciate you. With Therulean, lean. Asking questions and trying to listen to me. It was, you know, it was a bit of a grind. Yeah, I bet. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah.

I know Charles does her thing. She's a great role player, but me, I was in there doing the damn thing. Oh, really? Yeah, I'm swallowing that little thing. Yes, I'm the QB. I'm the HC, bro. I'm all of the above. Now, just for everybody listening, I am joking.

Charles is a phenomenal mother, and she has been doing way more than I have. Right. But I made myself an arm when I fell asleep yesterday, early in the first quarter. Nice little nap. Yeah, it was a nice nap, but it set me up for later in the night. As I stayed up until about 2 a.m., you know, fed the baby, the stuff, burped her, all that fun stuff. Swaddled her up, put her back to sleep, put her in her a little, uh,

Not the crib, but... The bassinet. The bassinet. Yeah, you guys got us that. Thank you, by the way. And you're welcome. Taylor, by the way, got to hold her. He's the first person to get to hold through, really?

I was, yeah. It was over last night. He came in clutch for the boy. Charles, she's got this postpartum meal service stuff to get all of her nutrition, all that stuff. So she's taking care of. Me on the other end, I'm out there fending for myself a little bit. Taylor comes through.

Hits me up. Taylor, I got a shout out of Taylor as well. Yeah, Taylor. She was the background of everything. I just used the background, but she was executed. you were executed. Yes. Hit me up.

Hey, do you need some, I got some chicken. We got some steak over here. I just shot on the eyes. Like, oh, hey, go ahead. Bring that stuff on over here. Taylor comes through in the clutch, bro. Delivering some meals for the boy. We sit.

He's holding Ceruley and I'm eating my food. It was a good time. I was glad you came over. It was definitely. If Charles hit me with, oh, you're a baby person. And I'm like, well, I have to. I've dabbled. Yeah, I have to.

I have to. No, I'm not really a baby person. But for this baby, I'll be that baby. Right. I love that child as if it was my own. Yeah. I mean, it does look that way. You had the nice little look.

You guys were connecting. Yeah. You were imprinting on her. Oh, thank goodness. I can't wait to come over tomorrow. Maybe get some skin to skin. Yeah. You can take your shirt off,

go skin to skin to skin. There's no question. I'm going to do that. No, yeah. Yeah, your uncle T. She's got to connect with Uncle T and Lean. Yeah, Uncle T and Lean, dude. That rule lean, bro.

But got a good amount, five hours of sleep. I feel like that's pretty good of uninterrupted sleep. That's solid. I went to Tucharar could sleep for five hours. and then she was doing, she was kind of waking up every couple hours. But it was a solid first night, bro. And you guys stayed up,

one stayed up and kept guard, like a, I stayed up, was watching a man in the arena. I saw Rable's few lines in there. He really did not get much, much PT at all. They probably cut a lot.

Yeah, he didn't get much love at all in that show. But I set up watching that. And then, yeah, once two o'clock hit, snoozed. Yeah. Yeah.

See, I think you'll get to the point eventually where you guys go, hey, let's just sleep and then we'll wake up and take turns. We were thinking about... You're kind of hitting six hours at a time. Yeah, we were thinking about doing that.

But with, like, running the pod and other stuff, we were trying to figure out. She's like, what are you worried about my spouse? Like, I'm just thinking about the morning tomorrow because I had to get the workout in, get the pod. And so I had a couple things going on. I love it. So communication. Sounds like the first...

That's the number one. That's the number one key to this old deal is communication. Absolutely. I think we do a good job of that. God, I love that. Another thing that is coming up, that is, I wouldn't say as stressful, but but probably as fun is this week, Wednesday, we are headed to volunteer country.

Yes. We're headed in Knoxville. That's Jack, Jack, Jack, and clap on us. We're headed back to Jack's stomping grounds to go and continue our spring bus and tour. Our bus and spring tour, as you guys know it. We'll be staying down with coaches. We'll be touring the facilities. I hope to God, they hook us up with a couple of volunteer jerseys.

I know. And we were talking earlier about it. Which one do you want? We'll want the black and we want the white one. I kind of want that classic. orange piece. You know what I'm saying? 77 right in the back of the one. I'm not going to say I'd need it, but I do really want it. You know, and if they don't give it, I might drop my score a little bit on the place. Yeah. You know, I see this, but I can be buttered up, right? Yeah. You can't infiltrate

this brain or this heart cluster it up a little bit and then, you know, give you a review that you kind of maybe didn't deserve both ways. Overall, 4.5. Overall, 4.5. Overall 4.5. Yeah, it's going to be a fun time. You guys are listening right now. Follow along with us on Twitter. I'm sure Taylor and I will all be active as hell because those are the best trips ever when we're doing The Giggle Box is unreal. You started to hit the giggles and it's kind of like game over for me. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Never had a giggle like that bullshit-ass place you took me to in Nebraska. Never had a fucking giggle. That was the hardest we've ever laughed. He's going to Village Inn. I had to be top five in my life. And that includes my childhood.

Yeah. And you started hitting the group chat. This motherfucker took me to Village in and we were just dying. Dying. I couldn't even tell the lady what I wanted to eat because I was laughing and too damn harm. You know what I'm saying? I couldn't even tell what I wanted to eat.

It's a great time. Oh, but yeah, and then we had our bus and spring tour meeting greet over the weekend. That was outstanding. All the tier ones that showed out. That was fucking awesome. There's a group of little Nebraska fans. We had guys walking in with Michigan jerseys on,

Tara Lawan jerseys. Love that. But it was a great time. Thanks for everybody that came out to that. And it was perfect timing too. We were signing and doing photos and stuff all the way up to about 5 o'clock, so it worked out perfectly. 3.30 to 5, I believe it was the time we were supposed to be there.

and we took every minute. Yeah, well, we were a little late. Yeah. We didn't have to say, though, right? We control our narrative on this bus. But those people listened in the end? You know what I'm saying? I was there setting shit up,

waiting for Jack to show up, you know what I'm saying? Jack was a little late. Yeah, but Jack and Garrett and Bloss before his horrific injury, really grinding for us. JP was nowhere to be found. Yeah, JP was crazy. I forgot about that. You were on vacation.

That man was at a wedding. Vacation. Where were you? Get that little ass mic for. It's a big little booms day. You got that. Hey, listen. You picked up this little ballpoint pen and goes vacation.

What city were you in? I was in Charleston, South Carolina. Oh, home. That's a vacation spot, man. You're home, right? Yeah, three and a half hours from home. See, close enough. Relatively speaking.

I appreciate you knowing that. Because I know my boy. You know what I'm saying? I care. I just wanted to be reciprocated as well. Will, what city of my friend? Greenville. There we go.

Come on, uh, kids. I got nervous. Just because you asked me and it was just that slight like nervousness, oh, fuck. I'm like, oh, I know. Oh, man. This chair is wildly uncomfortable. It really is.

You've been crushing it, but now we get to do your favorite segment. Oh, we get to do it now? Yeah, the shot, I don't know for sure. I feel like we've had ever, have we missed anything else? It's up to you guys. Anything else we got to hit?

Go shop merchandise. It's on the bar. Shop merchandise. But we're going to hit that. We have ads to read, too. You're going to hear the redundancy of all the entire time. Yeah. So, yes, it is.

time for our favorite segment of the week. Shout out. No free shoutout. Of the week. And we will usually start at Blas Fernandez. R. Peter, our boy, Tuffy. He'll come back.

He's gritty. But we're going to start with JP today. We're also missing Gary. He's in there. He's outside sweeping right now. I don't know what he's doing. I got you. I'm going to preface it with,

I'm shouting out, no free shout out to Karma. Because I hated to see Blas go down. Ooh. But there was a little bit of some, some drama behind it because on April Fool's Day, he posted a photo of himself in the hospital. Yes. Leg up.

Oh, my gosh. And everybody was reaching out like, oh, my gosh, Blas, are you okay? All this stuff. He's like, oh, no, I'm just messing around. Yeah. Two weeks later in that same hospital bed leg up. As all the great say, Bing, bang, boom, it's over. And I try to tell him karma, karma will come get you.

Yeah. And also, you're doing a two-for-one piece, too. You're telling Blas, he got some karma, but you also shouting out, karma to let karma know that, hey, listen, your boy's been good. I'm clear. Yeah, you don't want to take care of me. Don't mess with me. Yeah, exactly.

That's a good thing. That's an excellent. Shout out, no free shout out of the week. That is amazing. Jack, what do you got for us? Okay, so just to bring this thing home a little bit or tell you a little backstory. The first week was unbelievable. Jack really came in with some insight.

Yeah, you get right with yourself before you get right with the world. And we're all thinking, what's Jack going to say next? And he shouts out his beautiful grandmother who passed and was a very somber moment for all of us because we love Jack. We love his family. and if we would have known her, we would have loved her too. So I'm very anxious to hear what Jack's shout-out, I know if you shout-out of the week is. It's a lot of pressure, you know,

with such a great introduction like that. But it's a little obvious too right now, but we're going back to my alma mater on Wednesday, I must shout out the Tennessee volunteers. That's my shout-out of the week. I'm really excited for you all to see Knoxville. I know Will and I and Garrett and JP and Blas. So we all actually know everybody but Taylor.

Yeah. Everybody but Taylor. We could have done that. Everybody but Taylor, we were up in Knoxville back in the fall for the old Miss game, and we had a great time. So excited to be back up there. It's just going to be a quick day trip. But I think there's going to be some fun surprises in store.

But so for now, my shout out of the week is the beautiful volunteers. Have you been working behind the scenes? Who knows, man? Who really knows? Oh, I was going to ask that question, when he said there might be a couple surprises. Who really knows? Are they naming the stadium after us? What's the deal?

Because, you know, when we're in Michigan, we were looking at Will. We're going, hey, this is big because Nebraska held up. Are you, you know, nervous about Michigan? What they're going to do, same for Taylor when we were in Nebraska. So now it's kind of some of it's a little bit falling on me in the way. Or maybe now I'm putting it on myself. But we'll see what happens. If you're crossed a bear, it truly is.

I know. But it sounds like you've been scooting out there whispering in some ears. There are a couple whispers, you know. I love that. You know what? I'm excited. I don't even want to, I want to push on it because if I start pushing,

then I start to know and I won't be as surprises as I want to be. It was kind of like learning the name of your child. I wanted to know so bad, but I knew I'd like it more once I met her. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm.

That's a beautiful shout-out. No, it's a shout-out. No, balls. Absolutely killing that. Willie, your second, this is your second child. Yeah. You know, I'm going to shout out a brand, but it's specific within the brand.

Because it's something that's something that's held true to me throughout time. Something that I always know when times are getting a little tough, I can always count on this item, this product to bring my life, to bring me joy, to sit back and be like, fuck, this is, this tastes fucking good.

Wow. And it is the cookie jar blizzard from Dairy Queen. That is my shout-out. No free shout-out of the week. And I had one over the weekend, and it was the greatest thing I've laid my lips on in the last few months. Because I've forgotten, like, Dairy Queen's kind of, they went off the beaten path.

Sometimes it's easier to go on postmates or Uber Eats and look at the ones that have, like, you get some jennies or something. Yeah. Or get like Ben and Jerry's or something like that. But a good old-fashioned cookie jar, blizzard, large from Dairy Queen. What other size is there? Medium and small, but we never get those. Yeah, we never get those. And that is my shout-out, man.

It's the best soft-serve ice cream in America, really in the world. I just haven't tasted ice cream in other countries for real. Like that. but that is, that's my shout out and shout out of the week. I will say that the blizzard is unbelievable. Dairy Queen got it right the first time. There's a lot of other companies out there

trying to reinvent the wheel with the ice cream. But I think when you go there, you look at that individual who obviously loves his job because he's that Dairy Queen and he takes that cup and it hands it to you and you go to reach your hand out and he goes, gives you the finger like, hey, hold on a second. Then tips it upside down for you.

Every time you're like, holy. Oh, it's like magic, dude. I don't know David Blaine was behind the clock counter. I wanted to fall out every time because I want to get a free time. one. No question. But then you kind of scoop it up, put it in the jar. I guess it's a Sunday now for the boy. I'm going to get some caramel sauce on that piece. That's an outstanding shout out. No for shout out of the wait. My shout out.

Ooh, here we go. It's near and dear to my heart. A lot of times in life when you're given, when you're given the opportunity to experience something, you don't know how you're going to feel, especially when you go to experience something that you know you're probably about to experience. You're not sure. Is there going to be fireworks? Is it going to be a dud? And at the end of the day, this shoutout was maybe some of the biggest fireworks of my life. And that shoutout is going to Will's daughter, Surulian Bell Compton. When I held that child and I looked into her little yawning face, all scrunched up little eyes, full head of hair on the girl, and she just sat in these arms.

I didn't even know I was the first one to hold her besides Charo and Will. I didn't know. That was just a little cherry on top for me. But to hold that baby, the boy made it, and Charles delivered it. And it was all just a beautiful thing. I was just holding her

and we were having a great time. She wasn't fussy. Waffle looked like he wanted to eat her slash sniffer. I couldn't tell what was really going on in her head, but you never really can. Overall, a very euphoric, beautiful experience for me. So shout out Lean, Bell, Compton.

What a beautiful child. An absolutely beautiful child. We have a very special podcast for you guys today and we'll jump, we'll jump into it. We know how this works. We jump into it. You're like, all right, here we go. We're at the edge of our seat.

And then all of a sudden you get hit with another ad read. That's life, baby. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, Frank Sinatra. That's life. That's how this stuff works. But today was a very, a great trio, an amazing band. You might have heard of them. You probably have heard of them,

especially if listen to country music, is Midland. They were incredible. I've known these guys for, I'd say, three to four years now. And every time around them, it's a great time. And I don't know if we want to jump. to conclusions just yet. For me, I would put this on my Mount Bushmore

of how great the podcast went. Wow, that is a strong. The giggles, the fun times. And it was special. We were special to the point where the manager is in the back punching Jack in the shoulder telling him, hey, buddy, we got to fucking go.

He was mad as fuck. And then they were just telling us, me and Will could have literally sat back and just leaned back in our chairs and enjoyed ourselves for the hour and a half. Because it was the first time we've had three people on the butt. That's why we got a,

assortment of funguesue going on here. And it was legit like a locker room vibe. Mm-hmm. But it was all time, man. This Mark-looking motherfucker dude? He's a handsome boy. He's a beautiful. He's a handsome boy.

They're all beautiful in their own way. Right here on the couch. Really? Yeah. I'd probably would have sat and watched. Yeah. I'd have made JP go in the bag, get me a glizzy and some popcorn.

You know what I'm saying? There's eight that day. Yeah, but they were fun, bro. Cam is all time. You know that, dude, I would love to hear some of the road stories that he has. Oh, I bet it's outstanding. It was tough for him to get some words in But you can tell he's the like you said it

He's the most put together cat Yeah He's got the he's the brainiac You think so? Well he did say he did say in the pod He talked about how he knows trends five years of advance Yeah they say he's got some formula Which we never got that like I know

I told the guy, look, take it off eBay right now, and I'll buy, I'll give you this much money. There wasn't a buy it now button, but I got a whole of this guy's a car. You started by it now. I started by it now.

It comes in a, it gets shipped from Florida. Inside Uncini bought it. Which is tough. Florida's a tough area to buy a vehicle. Well, yeah. And this, you know, there's a moral in this story. So it shows up on a truck. You know, when you buy trucks, they ship them with a bunch of different cars.

And it's this Cuban guy. Like, barely speaks English and he's got the cigar and everything. And he walked, so we walk up to meet the guy, and he's like, oh, no, man. He's like, there's a meadre, like a bit of shit, man. And I'm like, what? I go, what I go? And I speak Spanish, so I kind of ask him. And he's telling me in Spanish, he's like, no, this is a lemon man.

And I was like, what are you talking about? This thing's cherry. He goes, it's a lemon. So I tell him, Kim, Kim goes, no, look, what are you talking? This thing's beautiful. So, and it looked gorgeous. The car was absolutely pristine. It was the sweetest cream white head,

Like, it looked absolutely cherry. So it was kind of weird. This stuck in my mind. So I was like, all right, man. So I dropped Cam off. Cam goes and picks up Jess. They go for a cruise. And they're driving on Ranch Road 12 and come up to the 290, which is a major intersection, right?

You got semis coming back and forth, 290 feeds in the 10. It's a big intersection. Pull up to, I'll let you take from here. So you guys are driving at 30, 40 miles an hour. I'm on the edge of my seat, right now. I'm going to fold up chair. It's about to fall over by my size. By the way, this is.

photos of the undercarriage and it was totally rust-free so I bought what I thought was a very... Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly rush-free and I got it for a great amount of money and I paid for the shipping which is quite expensive from Florida and I went and got Jess and Jess was like oh shit this thing is fucking cherry

I'm like, that's right it is dude so we get in the car and we're going to go on a cruise top down and we come to the one intersection in our town and it crosses a highway and Jess is like man this is cool man, it's a good time to tell you, dude. I got to say, man, just want to let you know, man.

Camille's pregnant. I was his first kid, and I was like, oh, my God, that's so cool, dude. Fuck, man, give me a... Oh, shit. Shit. What the fuck's wrong there, man? The fucking brakes, the fucking break went through the floor. Through the floor.

And I went on through the fucking light. And there was, we actually had a green, which was fine. But there was a semi-truck in front of us. And he slowed down over the... Coming over the front of the front of him. fucking highway because it dips down and I nearly slammed into the back of this guy and put us through the windshield

veered off into a gravel pit thank God everything's very close in dripping spring so we were able to push it to my mechanic which was right there bringing it out I'm like Danny got to look at this thing I don't know what's going on you know the brakes are out almost died Danny called me the next day and the long story

short is that he goes you got to come down here you got to see it I refuse to tell you over the phone I'm like oh God So I rode down the next day And he had it up on a riser And the riser had gone through the floor of the The chassis of the frame The frame literally like crashed when they put it up

I looked down on the bottom and it was every inch of it was covering it The only thing holding this car together was the brand new paint job That the criminal that sold this car to camera He goes check out the brake line And dude it literally was this line and there was only one piece of it that was like intact without rust on it. So like feathered off.

It essentially had one break in it left before we had broke through it and I called the guy and I was like dude I can't believe he did this. He's like well you took it off eBay man you're not protected and I go look I'm not going to threaten your life but I will come down there and fucking kill you dude

and he I you're like I know people you know what he did he ended up refunding me but he goes, you have to pay the shipping. The shipping. So I lost two grand on it, and this all happened within a matter of weeks.

My wife was out of town, so I sold these cars, and sold the thing, bought this thing. This is such a long story, but we're eating up time. I ended up buying a second one immediately from a guy in Kentucky, and this one was in good shape.

And that ran his lesson. I didn't learn my lesson. But I didn't have a... I did a famous... I did have a... I looked at it, and I bought it on eBay. I was protecting. and my wife comes back from Mongolia

and I pick her up from the guys where she's like cool and I'm like yeah fucking liquidated the whole fleet for this thing she's like what and wasn't a big fan of this car but it ended up becoming kind of like a mascot for the band because we had put longhorns on the front it was cocaine white interior it was red the second one was and it was in decent shape

and it ended up being like the Midland vehicle for a long time We would cruise the shows in it. We'd cruise around Austin. People would take photos of this thing. It was like, it was really cool. It was a banner. And then it became like way too much flash driving around Austin.

So I ended up having to sell it because you don't want people to look at you. You know what that's like. That's why you drive that piece of shit, Trillion out there. What did you pay for that car in Florida? Dude, I paid 10 for it and I paid two in shipping. So I was out 12. At the time, dude, this is crazy because I was, was just looking at the, during the pandemic,

at the end of the pandemic, when people were just coming out of their shells, that car now goes, and Jess, this is a testament to you being able to see these things like five years ahead. Nobody wanted the side-by-side 70s light. It was still all about that, like, stacked headlight Cadillac that you see at the county fair,

you know what I mean? So it was a little bit before, and now those things are going for $18,000, $20,000, sometimes even more if they're in good conditions. I mean, fuck, don't even get me started on. and Porsche's and shit like that. I found that truck. I'm Cameron's vintage car.

What was your phone? Oh, the green one? Yeah. But Mark ended up putting the brakes through the... What's the five years of head thing? What's the five years ahead thing he's talking about? Are you like some... I have an ability to see trends five years ahead.

Any area? Yeah. Could be real estate, could be cars. Could be fashion. That was from... It's a gift. Yeah. So what's the next thing in five years?

Yeah. what's paid off for you. Give us a taste of that. Well, look, can I take a little bit of credit? That's crazy because you just gave him credit and now he's... No, I'm taking back... Using Jess's formula,

I predicted the mid to late 90s Ford coming back in vogue. So I was the first of the crew to buy the... Not square body, but the last 7.3, 7.4 like mid-to-late 90s, your uncle's...

I have an 87 duly Ford. It's a beautiful vehicle. Almost the same. Almost, the body doesn't change a whole lot until 1999. Big vehicle guys. We love the vehicle. If you pull up a 964, you have 250 crew cab, two-tone. That's the, that one is.

You were ahead of that one. But this is all of necessity. Like vintage clothing, vintage cars, because when you're an artist, you're just dead poor, but you want to stand out. Right. So you can buy a cool, cheap car and, you know, have the valet guys still give you, like, the nod. It's not a Lamborghini. It's not a Ferrari, but it's unique.

No, you can't, it's too, it's such a cheat, like just spending, you know, $180,000 on a car that everybody else has. See, I have a thing about, like, older cars, every year you own that vehicle, it gets cooler and cooler. If I go buy a brand new Rolls-Royce Lamborghini, the next year, it's outdated, there's something new. There's something new. Right. There's money. So with a car like this, if you know what you're talking about, you can drive a car for three, four years

and actually basically get your money back and drive for free. The issue is finding, like, actually learning about the vehicle enough because the car world is as scummy as the horse world. You know, there's crooks around every corner in that area, just like the car you bought from Florida, you can kind of put a nice little paint job on something, maybe some new rims, but this thing's pristine, it's everything, and then you put it, look under the hood, and it's like, holy shit.

Yeah. You got to know what to ask for, and you got to know what the tell signs are. You helped me find that Mercedes. I helped Cam find and I got lucky. And then you sold yours to Luke and I didn't get so lucky. I'm a Mercedes guy. I'm a Mercedes guy. I don't have the title for.

So I like all the Mercedes and Volkswagen, so that's what I always kind of focused on. So that's kind of my expertise. I bought a 2005 S-55 AMG 500 horsepower bit turbocharged Mercedes over the pandemic thinking that was going to be like

the next car. I appreciate I don't think that is. It's a fun car to drive, but it might. Yeah, the S-55 AMG. It's a beautiful car, the O-5. This was like the most over-engineered car in the history of Mercedes.

You know which Mercedes? And they had a bunch of problems with it. That was the problem with it. But the O-5, they finally figured it out. So if you guys are watching this, I've got a gorgeous O-5-S-55 AMG. It's got 56,000 original miles.

You should put up an email. It'll blow your fucking, it'll blow your... Mom. Yeah. You know, it'll blow all kinds of things. It'll blow all sorts of guys. It'll blow anything off the line, man. It's a blower.

It's really fast. Fuck, it does zero to 60 in like four, four seconds, you know, a 15-year-old car. But that's, I like finding luxury cars for cheap. I don't, my whole goal is like to never spend more than 25 dollars. Mark, you've had a string of good ones. Jess has had some great cars. Well, I sold the, I have screwed up. I sold my 89, 560 SEC to Luke Cutchinder League of Tart.

So, you know, he's driving that around. If I had really a set of balls, I would have pulled out either in the 9-28 or the 9-44 or the 9-24. One car I will own a mid-80s Rolls-Roy's Silver Spur at some point. The older Rollsworths is the coolest. The mid-80s are the shit. They're so good-looking. You get the two-door convertible. The Honda Centrion.

What does I think? That's the real. It was in a Honda. It's a Hyundai, right? No, Toyota. Toyota. It looks just like these. Luxury, like, 70s, 80s.

Yeah, but the idea of it being a Rolls-Roy is just kind of like, you know. That's the ultimate. It's the ultimate, like, hey. How hard is it to find parts for these, though? Like this one? Yeah. That part of one down there? Yeah, that one's really nice.

Third row. Third from the right. I'm about to buy a 1984 rangerover classic four-door. You guys, and I'm not a range rover, like a new rangerover guy. That's a bit, a bit of a lot. hook there of all the vehicles you've been saying. Well, it's really stupid because their range rovers are absolute pieces of shit

and anybody that is listening to. That rangerover, go fuck yourself. Drives a rangerover. They all fucking know this. But they look awesome. It's the coolest looking car. The one that I'm going to buy is the English green. Does Arnold have one in command? I think Toyota makes a vehicle looks just like that. The land cruisers.

The land, yeah. That's the competition. The two-door ones are sick. So these I started looking at when I moved to Austin before when I was dead broke. And these were going for nothing. These remodeled ones now are

going for like a hundred grand. So about five years ago, you could have imported one of these in from Spain for eight grand and thrown 20 into it and now you can make 70 grand. So there's a whole point of you guys buying these vehicles to flip them? Car to a little bit. It seems like you

own a cool car. Own a cool car to learn about, because I don't know anything about Ranger Rivers. So like Mercedes I learned all about them. So you just found out what worked. what the good years were. It's just kind of fun. It's just like an obsession.

It's like chasing after your vintage guitars or vintage clothing or watches. And the idea is to drive something that's fun because you really enjoy it. It's a different drive. It's fun to, you know, oh, what? You're your car, man. You do the old guy car talk shit.

And then you get kind of bored with it and try to get your money back. And then it's a horrible... I'm getting to that point, though, where I want maybe one brand new vehicle, so I don't have to worry about a single thing. Yeah. Do you own any new cars?

I don't. And I haven't for so long. Well, the funniest is, speaking of Chevy, is Harper's car. Oh, God. It's a GMC. It's a GMC. But they have like a 2002. 2002 bought it for 1,800 bucks and it's bulletproof.

It's the ugliest piece of shit you've ever seen. My wife and I bought it. It's oxidized from the front to the back. I was up in the second story of our house the other day. And I'd never seen it from above, really, truly. And I was having coffee. and I looked out and I saw my wife's car from the top of the office. I straight up spit it on the window.

I was like, oh my God, this thing is fucking butt ugly. It's crazy. I took a photo of it. I'll find it. But it's a great early 2000. Dude, we have kids. And I don't care. Like, if you are a mom with kids or a dad with kids and you've got a 6 year old and a 2 year old,

your car is getting fucking destroyed. So buy something that you don't give a shit about. Harper is always like, dude, I want a car that's really nice. I'm like, I'm telling you right now, please don't do it with the kids. We bought a new Audi Q7, and when we had her, I was like, okay, I'm going to have a kid.

I'm going to get like the safest car. Right. It's also cool that I can like, you know, enjoy driving, and the car has just been completely destroyed. Yeah. Mostly by my wife. Just on her under the bus?

Yeah. Sometimes you've got to take it. Dude, she is the worst at maintaining. Like, she would just drive, she would drive a car for 200,000 miles and never changed the oil. Never even look at the tires. Like, I looked at the tires of their day.

We're getting ready for a road trip, and the tires were completely bald. That is... Just trying to die. I mean, the car is like, if I didn't wash the car every week, the car would just probably be worth us right now. Me and my wife literally got in a fight because we bought a brand-y-old-you-honey. Shelly-Douye. Full-size, brand-new truck, like $83,000.

You know? But she thinks that because it's a brand-new truck, that you don't have to do anything to it. You've got to change the... oil. You don't have to put the DEF fluid in there. Like, I'm driving this, I'm driving this thing. It's got the computer on there and it's like, you know, you're waiting. Yeah, the new vehicles tell you every single time, hey, oil's running a little low.

Probably should do this. The truck literally. I like it. I'm a man of convenience. I love old vehicles. But it came within two miles of shutting off because she hadn't put the DEF fluid in there. What the hell is D. So if you have a diesel or an additive that you have to put into it.

Oh. Yeah. All right. And, oh boy, don't put it in the wrong, in the wrong hole, so to speak, because my buddy did it and it seized the engine. Really? Yeah. It's just totaled after that? Totaled.

Yeah. And there's just like free shit everywhere. Yeah. And immediately like that you could see it. I just looked at Jesse and Cameron's eyes. It just lit up like, we just like he's got an extra large in here. We started running through. We got the boy order to.

It is like a gifting. It's so funny. We get, being on the road in Midland and, you know, touring all the time, you get given stuff all the time. You know, you go play at the Ohio Buckeyes Stadium and they give you like a jersey and I'm in Arizona Wildcat. So I'm like, I'm never going to wear that. Yeah. Crazy. But you get so excited.

Get all this merch and this shit and then it just fills up our bus. It's just basically like a, we should do some sort of like a swap meet. Hey, that's a rad swap mate though. I don't know. I will tell you, like, getting, we went to Nebraska, which Will went to, I went to Michigan. And when we went to Nebraska, they gave me a jersey. I thought it was the coolest shit ever. But another school. No, I would never put that on anyway. Even on my best day, everything's feeling nice and tight.

I put that thing I'm like, Ohio State gave me a basketball jersey. And like, it was really cool. It has my name on and stuff. Yeah, that's right. I'm an Arizona Wildcat fan. I'm not going to be wearing in Ohio. It's tough times being a Arizona Wildcat fan, though. Are you prideful Arizona Wildcalf fan, though? What are you talking about? team all the year. Football, yeah.

What happened, though? With our football program? With your basketball program? They fired Coach Tommy, which they never should have done, and then they've hired a bunch of the wrong guys. But now Jed Fish is, I think he's a great guy, I've gotten to know him a bit, and I've had some beers of them. I think he is a great recruiter, and I think he understands how to build that culture. I mean, you know, Arizona is one of the great college experiences. The campus is amazing. I'm sure you guys have been there before.

So recruiting should be really easy. The facilities are world-class. Buddy, I'm going to just stop you. Like, Arizona's never going to be a competitor. Oh, nice. So Arizona is there. Like, I don't want to, I really don't want to cut that short. Hold on.

Let's get a lot. So I remember, so listen to this. Check this out. So Arizona State. So Tucson is all right. I remember we beat Nebraska at the holiday location.

It's right next to the airport. Yeah, were you there? Yes, that was there. Yeah. Did you guys win? Yeah, that was my very, that was my very, most of my first year. Were you there? Were you on the team?

Yeah, that was my freshman year. Did you guys hear this? So he was just talking shit on Arizona football. His freshman year, Arizona beat Nebraska at the Holiday Bowl in San Diego and finish the season number three in the country. That's outstanding. You guys had Gronk. No, no, no, that was before Gronk.

That was, we had Teddy Bruske. No, no, you guys had Gron. In the 80s and 90s, we had some great teams. I think Jed Fish is going to bring Arizona. a football back. I don't know. My boy Tommy. My boy, Tommy Lloyd just had the most successful first season basketball.

As soon as Mark takes an inhale, I'll be more than happy. Arizona. More than happy. You've heard it here first. Arizona in the next five years is going to be a top 10, top tier college football team. I do believe it. Listen to them. I've met with the whole.

Man, our athletic director, the whole program, Arizona is going in an incredible direction. Wait a phone house. Go fucking cats. Let's fucking go cats. I think it's bare down. Or you can say let's fucking go. Go cats, bare down. Okay, all right.

Are you telling me what our theme song are? I was recruited to U of A and I politely said no. I will say this. U of A is a fun town. Dirt bags is a great bar. I don't even know it's open anymore. It's phenomenal. Love that place.

What is it? Lemon Mountain or something like that. What it was? Mountain. Okay, sorry. I flip two words. You can ski in the desert. It's outstanding.

I think. corrected you. I think a big thing that is underrated about U of A, I'm gonna say all the good things first. Two words. Like, I'm getting mad.

So I'm finally getting words in. You know how I am with talking? Can you imagine Taylor mad? That'd be fucking scary. It happens. See, I don't, I don't think that Will could beat up Taylor in a fight.

No. Because Will was saying that. Will would beat the in wrestling. No question. He's done it a dozen times. You never know what could happen. I know. Will's a dirty fighter.

Okay, tell me more about this area. Oh, okay. Easy big guy. Easy big guy. I would love to hear the good thing. The U of A, they have, I think the bar scene's awesome. I don't know anything about their like fraternity life, Greek life, or anything like that. It's great.

I think, I'm sure it is. I mean, Mark will say it's great for everything. Just apply that theory to all the things that you don't know. The under the whole thing about U of A is that you are right next to the border. And I think Mexico is an unbelievable time. Rocky points two hours away. You can go have a good time doing that. Location-wise, it's very difficult.

I know I just said the thing about Mexico, but if you're going to fly in, you have to drive an hour and 30 minutes to get down there. if you're going the speed limit. ASU, all the girls from Scottsdale are going there. All like, even the pretty girls from Minnesota are cruising out. Are you selling the ASU now? Yeah, he's got more than welcome. You can rebut.

I think, I haven't been down to U of A since like 2011. I think the campus is beautiful. I think campus is actually more beautiful than Tempe's campus. Hands down. But I think because of where the location's at, and you have ASU that's right next to the air, airport. You have Old Town Scotts still in there, which like, and you have, um, what is the, the bars scene in, at ASU at Tempe? It's like, uh, old town? No, it's not old town. There's like a

tall as bar scene, too, but it's right in the middle of campus. I forget it's cool. Yeah. That sounds excellent. It is, I want to go right now. It's a much better school. I'm a, okay, from an education standpoint, no, no, no, hold on, Mark, you go to an education standpoint, you have A wins. Yes. But ASU, I think there's, from my experience, there's prettier, better, better, uh, the girls are prettier. The girls are prettier. At U of A? Yeah. No.

Yes. Dude, I'm, okay. Better school. Better location. Are you impartial? Two thousand more. Somebody has to be impartial because Mark is in every. Everybody knows this.

I'm not, I'm impartial. I don't. So you are. Google. It's said just Google ASU sucks. It's out there. Everybody knows it. It's crazy.

It's fair down. Well, I'm interested in the impartial opinion. It's pretty cool. I think both schools are going to have a, I don't know why both schools are having a hard time getting back into football because the weather's great. there's beautiful people there and it's a great selling point it's a great selling point there's too much to do

no dudes are about it in those locker rooms I purposely didn't go to ASU because I knew I'd have less of a chance going to the league you're an Arizona guy you grew up in Cape Creek yeah so how did you move to Michigan I was a very I was a very like punk like

hate my parents I need to get out of the desert need to see four seasons type guy hold on so wait did you not see a pass to the pros through the Arizona full, like the whole program? I saw a path to the pros the minute I got a scholarship offer from Utah State.

I was like, okay, this is what I'm gonna do. The minute he had puberty, he saw. I'm curious. I'm curious because the football, the football world didn't really like become something for me until my senior year. Sure.

But Jake Long, who was the number one overall pick in 2008, was at Michigan. And so when I went to Michigan, I was like, they put offensive linemen out. I'm sure. And when you're in Arizona,

and you can attest to this. Like, people is this Taylor in high school? Yeah, come on. Oh my gosh. That's a handsome boy right there.

Wow. Yeah. No neck. No neck, loin. That's cool. No neck, skinny arms. Wow.

But, you got recruited by every pack ten. You have the pack ten back then. Yeah, I didn't get USC though. I really wanted to go to USC. I could have

seen you drive in a because that was Mark Sanchez, Reggie Bush, all that and stuff like that. Well, that's just like, you know, to play at USC is the closest thing to be in like a pro athlete

in college. I would agree with that. Because of the proximity in LA, it's insane. Especially, like, dude, in the... In the 2000, but you're 10 minutes away, bro. Reggie Bush and Matt Leonard. When they had... With Leonard, those guys, I mean, they were just...

They were hanging out with, like, Brad Pitt and... George Clooney's new... Anything proximity to Hollywood, L.A. is going to be a tantalizing a carrot to be dangled in front of you. Remind me to Google that word later, tantalizing. Well, you could do it right now, actually. Yeah. We've got it out.

You would have understood it. You would have a good education. Well, see, now maybe Mark Scott either. He might have checked me. I knew AISU would be more distracting to me. U of A was, it's a nice school. It's a much prettier school than ASU. What's great about what...

I don't know if you've ever been told to stop interrupting people before. I don't know if that's ever been a thing. Not by a guy your size. I'd probably listen to you. I'm curious. Hey, I know how Will feels in the pond now. I'll sit here. This is like two tailors talking to each other.

You should see it so there's alcohol involved. Oh, my God. For Taylor. Yes. Okay. Speak briefly on the art of trash talk. Let me get this. I got this one.

Yeah. I think the art of trash talk is lost in a lot of ways because everyone, you know, I'll kill you. I'll shoot you. Like, you're a bitch-ass N-word. That's kind of like the generics that come out. Right. And I... Do you say those words?

No. You need to relax on that. Can we specify we're talking about on the field of play? On the field of play. Yes. So everybody... NFL, everybody's... talking mad shit. It depends on the

individual, but usually, yeah, but it's really not well thought out chirping. For me, it's, this is just yelling. This one is just me. This is dreaming. Yeah, I'm just saying whatever in that. We're just watching a compilation of you fighting people? Yeah. Oh my gosh.

That was his thing was the arrow. Whenever he would like get a PBEU or interception, he'd do the arrow. And he was doing some shit to Derek. So after the game, I gave him, I said, get the fuck off the state of me. I mean, he's a, boy, he's a lot smaller than you are. Yeah. People come at me because I say I only pick on, that's me,

only pick on DBs. But they're usually the mouthiest cats. The DBs are like the cockiest guys. So trash, trash talking. For me, that's, that's,

that's Jaylen. That's Thursday night football. He completely flop. Jaylen made like a goal line stand. He made a goal line stand. He's like flexing. We're up like 21 to 6 or something crazy like that. Right.

And, oh, this is, and I got in his face. I'm like, what are you doing? He flops, trying to get the flag. Let me ask you this.

I got ejected in this game. I played a, I played football and played sports and just even playing pickup basketball you'd get into fights and shit and you just talk a lot of shit but after the game

you go buy everybody at beer and like hang out so do these do you guys like make up or they're like enemies? I think it depends that's me yelling of the refs I think that's a it depends on like the situation like

you get a little fired up you're passionate player. I'm a passionate individual there's no question about that I actually you can hear it I say you fuck this up You fuck this making dumb fucking calls all day. This is me.

This is what I want to know because... Okay, so shit talking. Sorry, I will finish that answer. I should want to know what you say, because we don't know what you say when you're face-to-face on the field in the middle of play. In the middle of play,

there's a lot of just grunting and kind of getting after it. But when you talk trash on the... In between plays. So someone will come up to me and, oh, you a piece of shit, white boy, you dis and that. And I'll just look at him dead in the eyes and say, I swear to God,

if we didn't have face mess on, I kiss you right now. Yes. That's what I was going to say. You diffuse it or you'd be like, God, you have a great ass. I'd be like, you have the prettiest eyes. And then we were on field goal

and I'll like kind of look at the guy. I'd be like, hey, I lift up my shirt. Would you hit? Would you do? I told guys I'll suck their dicks. Yeah. Hey, one of the best stories is we're playing. That's the greatest way to get out of like getting your ass kick, by the way.

Like if you're out of the red and then they're rattle. Like, I feel like dudes after games podcast and be like, hey, are you? Are you really gay? I'm like, no. But listen, that was in the first quarter. And I think about the rest of the game. The best thing that ever happened

from a shit-talking standpoint is something Jackson... Who is the D-Tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars? 93. Anyway... We need these guys. This is amazing. They're outstanding individuals back there. Shout out the boys. But it was 2016, I think.

And we're playing Jacksonville in Jacksonville. No, no, not Callais. He was another one. Jackson. He played for... He's got that video of him getting shook by Bell. from the Steelers. And he's mic'd up and he goes,

ooh, when he gets shook, you're in? He goes, ooh. They'll find it. But so he's, it's like the first quarter of the game. The game's pretty close. And he's, we're transitioning. We're walking from one side

the field of the other because we're like on the 35 going in. And he's like, yeah, I'm motherfuck. I'm in your ass all day. I'm coming at you. And I'm on the 50 yard line. I turn around. I go, bro, you keep talking like that.

I'm going to suck your dick. And he like takes a step back and our center comes out of nowhere and goes, and we fucking swallow too. And it was like the most perfect. He's like, oh, what? He was like, he was fucking rattled the rest of the day. The rest of the day was.

Malik Jackson, that was the individual talking. He's a funny dude. Who's the greatest shit talker like right now in the league? I got this, dude. I believe in myself. I believe in myself right now.

Thank you. I clapped for myself there. Rank the best shit talkers? I think the first one that comes off without my head is Jalen Ramsey. Jalen, yeah. Yeah, Jalen is that he just, the thing that makes an art of shit talking is

a lot of guys talk shit in the first quarter. it's when the second, third, and fourth quarter, if you're still talking in the fourth quarter, one, your conditioning's phenomenal. Right. Like, you can run and go all day. That's what I was going to say. I figured, like, you'd be so gasped. I wouldn't have time to be shit talking.

I think Jalen would probably be number one. A sleeper to me is Trey Hendrickson, the DN from the Bengals. Yeah, a white boy. He was, I played him when he was at the Saints, and he got like a sack and a half on me. I had a tough game. In the beginning of the game, we're playing the playoffs. Divisional game. and he, I like got in his face a little bit

and he's like, remember what happened last time? You remember what happened last time? I'm like, damn, this dude keeps receipts. Like, he remembers. And so we were going back and forth the whole game. That's the thing in baseball is truly like a sport of keeping a book. And especially with pitchers. Yeah, because you can, but the thing with baseball is you can talk shit next to somebody

you're up at bat. You're going to get dating. You're taking a 98. That's one of the great things about the sport is that, you know, the pitcher is really the only guy who has the authority to level and exact revenge for your teammates, right?

Well, that in hockey too. Especially back in the 90s. But everyone's got a stick and everyone's I mean, everyone's got a stake, but there were like goons. I think there's a documentary on Netflix for the Ice Guardians. Oh yeah. And it's pretty outstanding those guys. There's the movie.

The movie. The most inspirational sports movie of all time. Oh, Ross the Boss Ray and Doug the Thug Gladi. It's my favorite sports movie. I love that movie. It's so good. It's unreal. It's good. I got to disagree. with you on that. That was a tough one.

I got to say, it's not good. Greatest sports movie the whole time is Major League. I'm just going to say that. That's a good one. So are we saying? Also took place in Tucson, Arizona. That does.

Hey, you really are that guy. He's all about it. He's all about it. Hey, we were at dinner one time and I go, hey, Cave Creek's so beautiful. He goes, stops me. He goes, Tucson's the most beautiful part of Arizona. I'm like, what are you fucking talking about,

dude? stops me in the middle of my sentence. He's going to have that basement where he's got all the Tucson. Let me show you something. Yeah, come on down here. Not after this fucking podcast, Mark, your office of your political

future is kaput. Because the theory that we are exploring here is that there is so much testosterone and straight man energy on the field that the only way to disrupt that flow is to provoke with some sort of sexual innuendo.

There's a level of like, I don't know what it is, and I can only speak for the NFL community, but there's a level of homophobia in a weird way. And to me, it's like, it don't matter. I mean, you used pat dudes on the ass all the time. Hey, good game. Like, that, you know what I'm saying?

Right. What's wrong? I'm saying, hey, I suck you dick. It's no problem. If you're asking me, there's absolutely nothing wrong, and you can ask the guys on the road with me, particularly. I am constantly naked. I'm constantly trying to...

You got a phenomenal body. Break the walls down for anybody who... Because you have to be... And I'm now, like, pushing to the comedy of it, But, like, the truth is... Can I tell you a birthday? Close. Hold on.

When you're living close to somebody on a bus, if you are... Got your hackles up because you're worried about seeing a penis. Yeah. Or a set of beautiful balls in your face or, like, smelling someone's shit from the fucking thing. You're not going to last long. So you have to embrace that.

You have to really go headlong into it. And for me, it's like, be naked as much as possible. Literally. We have... There's never been a bunch of more naked. So everyone's always slapping butts and, you know, touching each other inappropriately and stuff like that. But you really, every HR complaint you can think of. I mean, literally if there was H&R, HR on, I mean, Midland would be no more if we were.

Cameron's birthday present to me on my last birthday was, and this took a lot of waiting because I was off somewhere and they had to wait for me to get back to the bus. when I walked onto the bus Cameron was doing a handstand completely naked Mark was holding his legs at about an angle like this in the air and there was a paper there was a paper plate

that was his penis was through and had to hurt a little bit on the paper plate it said happy birthday Jess drooping It was thoughtful I mean hey You know they always say like It's you know you can get somebody buy somebody a gift

But if you make them a card That really lasts forever Yeah That's a beautiful thing Babe but on the homophobia in the NFL You can not be homophobic You just don't want to play gay What's that?

I say you can not be homophobic And just not want to play gay Oh yeah Like you said there's a level of homophobia It's like well some dudes just might not want to play a gay. Oh, because that's actually also very... Actually, you know what?

If we're being honest, I think that you're probably way more close to the truth of it all. Because maybe some people just don't think that it's appropriate, Taylor. Yeah, that could be it. I just heard a story of you having a Squidward nose out of a paper hat. I have a feeling that basically the last 20 minutes of this conversation is going to be at a...

out of him. No. No. We got, we got right. It's over now.

Jamie like this, we got Jack worked up so much one time. Jack is one of those guys you touch his time. He doesn't play.

He doesn't play this and that. If you want to talk, check it's like he's like, oh bro, I'm getting it all of y'all. And Nebraska? What?

He's been taking it out of context. He worked up like, you know, well, actually, all I have is there is. Okay, well, Marx is better, though.

He used the same paper plane and put it on himself. Oh, my God. That's outstanding. Did you think I was going to go there? No, I didn't. I had no clue that that was going to go there. I kept looking. Yeah?

I got to look first, by the way. There's no cameras back there. No, no, and if it was, we blurred it out, too. I got another sports question. Those are too beautiful not to pay for to see. Mark's dog. One more sports question. We got to ask some stuff about y'all.

I know. This is why you guys are on the bus. I'm getting lots of information. All right. So, you're. on the ground. Uh-huh. Somebody attempts to step over you.

Right. Do you grab, do you, what do you? Super disrespectful to step over somebody. Yeah, so what do you do if you're the guy? I've never been stepped over. Um, I think I just make fun of it. Like, just laugh or,

hey, what the fuck? Help me up, bro. Yeah. Just some weird shit. Like, I'm more like, just have fun being on the field, talking and shit like that. Yeah.

People take shit way too seriously. Yeah, that is true. Will does have a good time, no matter what. That's good. Hey, the only time I've seen you get mad, though,

is when we played against each other. No, no, I didn't get mad Oh, yes, you did What did you say? Oh, 1 and 0 Yeah, we What was playing for the Raiders the year after He played for the Titans? And like, sorry, well, what year was this again?

2019, 18, I think. Wasn't it? 19, I was on Titans at 18. Okay, so 19 At the Raiders. Yeah, that was the last year, yeah. Yeah, it was the second last game there too. Very cool to play there.

That was a very cool place. but I'm excited to play Will because Will and I are facetiming every other night kind of talking how's your season going? Oh, my season is going all right. And we're talking back and forth. And that's after the game.

And we go... Would he yelled one and O'd? No, no, no. We're on the field. We're literally in the middle of play. We, uh, Will and I are both warming up at the same time. I didn't see Will, but apparently Will saw me. And like, instead of coming up to me to say hello,

he walks off the field, big tough guy move on me. Which I didn't know because I didn't see him. Wow. I'm like, I'm literally hugging every. everybody. Yeah. I'm seeing all the boys. And Will's a glue guy.

Like when you want, you want to put a locker room together, bring Will in it, and he's going to have all the boys. All the GMs and coaches listening. He's a dude that keeps the boys together for sure. Nice. Absolutely. That's all the jerseys. Hey, the man.

Shout out Wesley Woodyard. That's what I'm talking about, Cam. Not a lot of teams get affordable right now. Oh, it's not. 2.30. So, so during the game, Will's starting. Someone got hurt or something like that. I'm splitting reps.

This is one of the times I was in. So the game starts in my head. In my head, I'm like, I'm like, I get to block Will the whole day because a lot of times I'm going up to the linebacker level and I get to block the guy or whatever and I see Will

and we call a certain play it's a gap scheme play where I'm going to the Michael Linebacker which is Will and I see I'm like this is my fucking op I'm gonna crank this kid dude I'm gonna fucking try to end Will's career right now

doesn't I go I hit the hip of this this three technique and I run up to him and Will's job is to get over top of me well my job is to wheel him out so we're both kind of like doing our job yeah

and the play wasn't by is like we're kind of just fucking. We know, we know we're against each other in this moment. We knew. It's something about to go down. And I grab Will, I turn so I start running them. And the play's obviously over and I give him another shove before I leave.

And I go, want to know. And I like, start to walk away. And Will's like, you can tell Will's like flustered. Doesn't have like any words in the bank. And he goes, hey, well, you fight. Fuck you.

I didn't have anything in the tank for it. And then Will, there's like, there's like, hey, I don't say that. Yeah. Will wakes up at like at 3.3. the morning in a cold sweat and you had the comeback. Oh, fuck.

That's the worst. When you have that, when somebody just completely stunts. God, that is the worst. I'm always, I always have something. Let me ask you this as one more sports question because, you know, the Rams, the Rams, just one too. Yeah, you might as well. But like, you know, the next hour of the podcast, we're talking about you guys.

Everybody's talking about Aaron Donald being perhaps the greatest defensive player. Is it a stunt? of all time. So what, but I see that, but then I'm like, I'm thinking about like with like Lawrence Taylor back in the day. Yeah. And, yeah, there's, there's been some amazing guys. But I feel like Aaron Donald's been kind of like a sleeper of the greatest of all time. I don't know if he's much of a sleeper.

What makes him, is it just all his stats or just like playing against him? Like he's like on his way. He's put together a resume early. Will had a great argument for this because people were saying he was the greatest defensive player of all time. Yeah, because it was Reggie. Oh, you're talking like a Red-J-W. He depends on the player. Period.

Yeah, period. Of all time. Yeah. Okay. Same draft class. By the way. I mean, the dude is just... Ray Lewis.

I think he's up in the... No? Ray Lewis, it's got to be up there. Ronnieville. I mean, there's safeties. There's... I know. There's Ed Reed.

There's Ray Lewis. I don't think he could continue to do what he's doing. He could potentially be in a great. Is he not retired? No, I think he's coming back. I think... And I'm just speculating. There was a lot of money thrown at Sean McVade.

I think go to Amazon for Thursday Night Football and he didn't take it. I think if Sean would have gone... It's like a hundred many dollars I think. Yeah, so I'm crazy. Moss. Wow. Yeah, Sean is... Sean McVeigh from everything I've heard in the videos I've seen on him, he is like, he's got a memory like nobody else.

What are you looking at? What is that? These are the... It's going through the all times. Well, I will say... But the thing about Aaron Donald that's really good is he's... I think him being a little shorter helps him out a lot. He's got that built-in leverage.

He's stronger than everybody. Is he like the strongest guy in the NFL? I don't know. some strong cats out there, dude. But he could quite possibly be in the running. So compact. Is Derek Henry, like, pound for pound one of the strongest guys in the NFL?

Derek is probably the strongest back in the NFL. Wow. Oh, my God, he's a beast. Yeah, he's an animal, bro. Holy shit. He's an animal. That's Ronald McDonald's brother? Yeah, that's him.

A long line of McDonald's, dude. He's compact. Yeah, he's a compact, dude. But he's extremely strong in shift. He's got great moves. Let's see him Derek Henry with that. buddy and fantastic four.

Well, can I ask you? Yeah. Welcome to bustle with the boys. This is it. I, I'm curious to know your perspective.

He's a fucking freak. He's a stud. He's a stud. Damn, this makes you want to go weird out. That's AJ. That's our wide receiver right there. And the next room is D.K. Metcalf. Wow.

AJ, just for reference, AJ is fucking built like a, like an action figure. Ripped. Shoulders. Shoulders like this. You just absolutely stacked. And that's how big D.K. This is why I quit playing football

after. my freshman year, I walked on. I was just getting hit by dudes like that and Taylor and I was like, I'm not going to make a living doing this, dude. I can't. I'm not going to survive another practice. Look up, look up the kicker for the Colts. Just look up hot dudes athletes. And then there's this guy. Same sport. Oh, yeah. Same sport. Okay, and fill out the shoulder pads. Go to the third row middle with his arms. No, one more down, one more down, right down from there. Is that the hardest? Is that the hardest job? That one.

But they get all the glory The Rexx on it. I bet if you leave it back in the second He can move it down. All the glory and then they miss it and then they take all the cults. No, dude. It's kind of like a quarterback.

Being a kicker is the smartest thing to focus on, right? No. Be a kicker. If you guys could go back Long snapper is by far the Not the easiest job, I'm sorry. But you don't get hit as a long time. Yeah, but you make one or two,

maybe a partner, bro. Really? Honor. No, I think it's a more difficult job. because I think not really. It's like watching golf. It's like watching golf

and going, why don't these guys just put it in the green every single time? Like, it's kind of one of those things. As a punter, you have to put it in the corner, you have to know where you're at,

you have to take some off of it, put some backspin on it. That's all you do. No, dude, I'm telling you, I think, I wish I had Brett Kurt on again, who's our punter, I think he would say something different.

Would you ever take, I watch this day to day, I would love his life. Oh, yeah. Can you like, can you put an easy life? Here's going to be a partner. Here's a question that I have. Because you know, are you a basketball player?

No, I was never a basketball player. Baseball, hockey and football. But like, if I'm a NBA playoff team, I'm giving Taylor like a 10-day contract just to man up somebody like a big guy or something. You'd probably fail as a gym. Just to have him that you made five falls during the playoffs. No, I'll definitely foul out. There's no easy buckets.

I'm not tall for basketball. The Titans should give LeBron like a two-month. contract. I don't think LeBron would do well in the NFL. I don't think he would. He couldn't do it. Soft. No, he turned. Soft. It's not something. It's just a different sport.

It's a different sport. I don't think LeBron's soft at all. I'm kidding. If you're listening. He's like 37 years old. I'm not dying on that. He's so fucking beat. I'm curious.

I'm curious. One game. Hold on you two. I want to know something because I grew up in the Bay Area. He was a player. He was a high school. I'm very interested in radio talk real quick. He was a great football player.

Put up a, uh, uh, who's a great football player. Who's the D guy? Hey, if y'all don't shut the fuck up. I can't start asking one question like four different times. And then he continued, I'm very interested to talk about Raiders. And you guys are just talking the whole time. I don't know what the culture was like in that, in that stadium. Oh, about halftime.

Oh, fuck, that's funny. It smells like THC all over the place. Yeah, every weekend. Was it the South End zone? Yeah. Oh, my. God, you're on the sideline and you smell weed, bro. Yeah.

Yeah, that's it. It's Halloween every weekend. Yeah, yeah. We would take the Bart there from where we lived. The closest bart was Dublin, so you can take it straight to Oakland Coliseum, and then, or whatever you want to call it, for whoever's playing. But McCaffee, whatever the fuck it was,

the year that we were going to see the A's play, but we would occasionally go, it was a little bit more expensive to go see the Raiders play. We would go to A's games. They had Dollar Wednesday, so you can get in for free and go, you know, eat a bunch of hot dogs and get shit hammered. Love those glissies, JP.

What was it like playing for that team, though? The Raiders at a stadium where it feels like... You just like... Pretty much contact guy. He doesn't remember anything. You don't remember anything? Because they were waiting to get out of there for so long, too. It was like five, six years in the... Yeah, I don't really understand. I didn't really get to know the culture like that until I was there,

and then you understood how important it was. But for me, like, I was hyped just to play on the Raiders because, in my opinion, they're like the best jersey in football. The best... The 49ers. The silver and black bro goes hard. Yeah, so good. I just love doing that.

Knowing I was part of the last year playing in Oakland, I kind of understood by, you know, seeing the fans and everybody else, how serious they took it. But other than that, I didn't know a whole lot going. Holly Roger. Yeah, wasn't a huge fan of the actual place, personally. It was not... Yeah, everybody kind of shit on it.

But at the same time, it's like, it's so historic. And how did you... How do you like playing over a band? baseball track early in the season. See, I missed that. I was a last half of the year. So I never had to play in the ball season. That sucks at all.

If you fall on that dirt, it's pretty much terrible. It was fine when you get to the pitchers mound. If you don't run over the pitchers mountain, is that unique to Oakland? Is there any other place that done that early in the season? My university of Miami did that right for a little bit? They used to have that.

I haven't been to, uh, what's the, The new stadiums where you got to go can. Sofi is unbelievable. Sofi. So which is the best stadium? Is it this or is it? Sofi is bad. Well,

is playing this one. And I play in the old Raider's stadium. I haven't played in this one yet. At this point, they're all going to be fired in several years, bro. Does it have like a field level bar? Oh, yeah. So is, uh, Vegas.

In Dallas, when you go play Dallas, you walk through, you go out of your locker room and you're, as you're waiting to go out of the tunnel, there's like a big glass, like a sheet of glass with people just looking at you drinking beers. I think the NFL being in Vegas is like the, like the, one of the best things to happen to them. We came out of halftime, and

Little John's performing, the lights are off, lights are going everywhere, and he's just performing shot, shots, and everybody, it's just like a club in there. He does who want to go see their team play the Raiders? Oh, 100% of the NFL fan. I used to not be a fan of Vegas. I used to not like it at all. But now I

love Vegas. I think it's an outstanding time. So you know the only difference between our jobs? Because every night you have to go on and you have to perform. Right? you have to perform in front of a bunch of people. Sometimes you go out there.

But just picture, I mean, you're playing your baseline, right? All of a sudden you get blindsided about a 315-pound guy. That's the only different. I'm not speaking for you guys.

Because for me, sometimes you just don't feel like going out, right? You guys get weeks between, a week between most without a buy, like games, right? You're working the whole time. Yeah. Sometimes we're out for like two weeks in a row

and it's a show every night, right? So by like halfway through, you're like, fuck, I don't want to go out tonight. The difference is we get to drink and do drugs if we legal ones before going out

to help with the anxiety sometimes going on the THC when you have I mean don't don't you have to you guys do that

I know you guys are tough dudes okay you don't have to be tougher than we already just said that you guys are the toughest

guys he's ever seen in his life that's probably not true good spelling too you like that he's good canon

it smells like he literally just washed that shirt um it's But, like, you can't just crack a cooers lie. I mean, I guess you could, but you could. Back in the day, they did.

Yeah. Smoke cigarettes a half time. But, like, does it psychologically, like, know that you can't just take something to escape whatever, like, the anxiety is going into... I guess we should start by saying, do you get anxiety going on the field at any given time? Yeah, I think, I mean, Will knows, like, we... Before a game, like, when you go out to pregame, when you're, like, warm it up and stuff like that, there's anxiety. When you go in before you come out for the National Anthem, That's when, no, that's when the most anxiety hits.

That's when you're thinking, okay, what if this happens? What if that happens? You go in and sit there for a little bit. Really, the anxiety doesn't go away to, like, that first snap. And as far as, like, drinking and stuff, like, you can. Guys drink after the game. Guys drink all the time. For me, it's like, that's a super dry season for me.

Like, very rarely do I drink during the season because you're always playing catch-up from recovery. So sleep is big. Huge. Sleep is huge. finding, you know, those alternative ways to escape sometimes is nice, but in a healthy way. Where are those? I can't really talk about that necessarily.

Oh, I'm kidding. Eating shit. No, no. Get an eye. Foot massage? Like, at my house. Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah.

At my house, I have, like, there's a float that's me. Not during the season. Not during the season. All right. I'm curious what these alternatives are because I'm actually in the midst of exploring these things. Have you ever, have you ever microdosed mushrooms? Yeah, actually. Mark got me on it recently.

It's outstanding, right? Well, here's where I use it. Taking a little bit before, when I'm not drinking, taking it before golf, I found it's like a performance-enhancing drug. I'm like, holy shit. My head's quiet.

I'm focused. I feel very zen. That's what I like these things for. I don't like necessarily mixing them with drinking because I feel like it's a kind of a weird... A weird deal? Head buzz. Well, how much are you taking of the micro-dose?

Just a... I don't know. how much are in these things, but they're parted up. Six or seven caps. It's a chocolate bar, and they come in sections, and I'm only taking a section of one. So I don't eat weed because it trips me out. And I'm done smoking it because of my vocals.

But like, so I don't, I do that. Yeah. And I found this stuff recently called, maybe I shouldn't say it because I'm not. No, if you feel bad after, we can always cut it. No, no, I don't feel bad, but I'm not technically an investor yet. Okay.

But it's called, I write this now. It's called Feel Free. And it's a Kava Kratom mixture, and it comes in a little bottle. Now, okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but Kava is like, I don't want to sound insensitive, but like a Polynesian, like, mud drink, right? Yes. It's a root drink, and they smash it and they put it in water and you drink it.

That shit's fire. Dude, so check this out. It's unbelievable. It's 10 parts Kava. Yes. One part Kratum. We're going to get some right. Kratum.

Kratum is also a root that they've been using to a lot of people have been using it. I thought it's a baby plant. I will explain this. It comes into a powder. Yeah, we've been so quiet. Okay, and they use the extract of it. A lot of people have been using it to get off of opiates because it gives you a similar feeling.

This drink right here? This is the drink that I drink now every night. Where do you find that? This is it up a little bit, though? No, here's the thing. You have to be careful. If you only drink it, you can drink one of these a night, and it feels like you've got a little bit of a,

a buzz. It's almost like smoking in indica. It's beautiful. I really love it. Very euphoric. Don't drink too much on this stuff because if you drink on it, you will suffer what happened to me in Vegas. It's one of the worst hangovers you've ever had in your entire life. So don't do that. But if you have this stuff in

as purest form, you just drink it. The cratum, too, is it's not synthetic and it's not extract. It's just straight to good stuff. It's a little bit of credit in it. This stuff is an incredible... My wife took it and had like a... Well, yeah, some people were allergic to hawks from beer, too.

We had a Polynesian dude a couple years ago. Like, right after the season ended, we're about to do, like, exit interviews, and he had, like, a whole, like, like, Home Depot bucket full of it. And he was, like, Kava. Kava. And he was, like, scooping out. And he's, like, drink this.

I'm like, you know, went in Rome, right? So I'm like, I kind of drink it. And I had, like, yes, dude. I was sitting there, like, I felt amazing. Yeah. But, like, I was also like, I can't really be doing public shit right now. Okay, you kind of felt loose. So there's coffee bars now popping up everywhere.

My dad was legal. Is it a legal thing to take? It's fully legal. It's cleared by the FDA. And University of Texas. Yeah, but there's... I love this stuff. We're talking about healthy alternatives.

I got to give my wife a plug. So my wife is just launching a company called Joggy, which is all alternative plant-based energy and, you know, and basically relaxation. enhancers. So it's full spectrum, CBD. Okay. Terapines.

Whoa, what? Yeah, it's cool, right? And this is like an NFT? Yeah, so she's, it's, it's two parts. So she's launched a company called Tyb, which is a essentially a decentralized digital community building software where fans and brands build and win together with like real currency and you actually can crowdsource and fund projects, etc. It's a little bit above my pay grade, but her first company under TyB is a performance company called Joggy.

So it's full spectrum, CBD, terapines, and a thing called THC5. Is there THC5 or THCV I feel? Which doesn't have any of the feelings in it? TGV, sorry, THCV, I always forget. And it is amazing because, you know, the idea is that she was trying to replicate the sense that you get when you are running like six miles. You really do get a runners high. They talk about that. And she's basically kind of recreated that in a dropper

and a gummy that you can take. Really? And then there's one, the ready, steady is how you come down and relax. But all this stuff is anti-inflammatory. It's good for anxiety, depression, energizing. And then she has the joystick, which is the full-spectrum CBD, Arnica Magnolia,

which is like a really healthy, natural icy hot. And this stuff's amazing. And it's anti-inflammatory. So, like, you know, I've got bad knees. Yeah, I rolled it on my knee. It's amazing. The rechargeies, Kim, you're going to love these. These are going to help with your anxiety.

But the runners high, the joggy, if you take, like, a full dropper of it, it feels like you're high. But without the paranoia of, like, the THC. Yeah. Because I get, I get, like, paranoid. And I love it. Where does your wife source all the CBD and everything at? So, actually, she works with a group out of Austin, Texas. They work with the University of Texas

And they were like the foremost experts The reason she got into is because there's so much Unregulated CBD You know you go to every fucking truck stop And it's like CBD Right but it's really nothing And actually is not regulated And sometimes you'll get like a CBD

Honey or something that you're taking for Because the benefits Are incredible from full spectrum of CBD and marijuana But if you You can get a CBD thing And it's fucking loaded with THC And you get higher than you've

ever gotten and you don't want to be high because there's oftentimes you got to go do a fucking interview or play show like you don't want to be that way so she got into that um working with these groups of this expert in um in Texas so everything is the highest integrity everything is fully checked um and it is I'm telling you man as far as like supplements go I'm going to send you guys it is fantastic for pre-workout post workout it's going to be great for you guys you guys get tested for marijuana you're not allowed to smoke weight in that. It's a strictly a test the way it is. How the fuck in this modern age is weed still illegal for athletes? It's fully beneficial. I think it's slowly trending that way. I think it has to go

wreck nationwide before. Yeah. Before you can make this. And mushrooms are next. Mushrooms are going to be legalized. I mean the benefits of mushrooms are lovely and insane. Now I think somebody was also talking about a natural a natural relaxer or are performance enhancer was Insolito Dequila. Yeah, we also drink.

Are you talking about your... Well, I saw somebody said, somebody said, somebody said 10 minutes left for your manager. Yeah,

we would love to get into some midland. You guys are our first fucking band we've had. We haven't talked about music at all. Let's ask you a sports question. I've had another sports

question. Well, we're such big sports fans. We've just been geeking out. How destroyed are you at the end of a season like physically? What's it like

at the very end? It's pretty rough because you feel like I was telling JP about this and he was kind of laughing at me because like when I get like the first three weeks our website looks badass sorry to interrupt you too but God I feel that's what a fucking great website it's a great tequila too thank you um the first three weeks after a season

like I have like a more difficult time the wait for the first what three weeks after the season after the season is it because your endorphins are down and like well yeah usually I get like really sick right after the season because it's like you've been going and going and like your body's like all right what do we doing next you're like it's over then your body like kind of just takes time to regroup and just sort of like figure itself out. But one thing that happens to me is, and it's been this way for a long time,

is I have a harder time like cognitively putting together sentences. And it's not like I'm just talking gibberish. But like I'll start like mumbling a little more, stuttering a little bit more. Hasn't had any fucking problem today. No, not one issue in the past three weeks. Fucking pot in the kettle black over here in the corners, boys.

But it is, it is definitely a transition. But like you get a month out of the season, you're fine. Feel good. Your body's pretty blown to shit. It depends. It depends how you take care of your body to during the season.

Well, I mean, not just after, but like at the very end, say you make it at the Super Bowl, you're in, you know, going into the playoffs. Is your body just like... Yeah, I mean, most of the time you're doing walkthroughs. You're doing walkthroughs. Like, you'll work out a little bit, like say at the beginning of the year, you'll be on tough for two or three days a week or something. And then by the end of the year, you're strictly like one or two depending on how your body is.

Because you're rehabbing a lot of stuff. So you're trying to do more like mobility and dynamic stuff versus like lifting heavy weight. Shout out Roman, no free shoutouts.

and by the end of the fucking tour, dude, you are literal, sound check is a joke. You're like, we're not going. Yeah. There's no sound check today. Don't ever ask us. Yeah.

You did a lot more recovery. And you're finding also, you're only doing one set. You're not doing four different sets, four different nights. You're like, no, we got the one set we're doing it. You want to go into cruise control

because your mind and your body are fatigued and you're trying to not put so much stress on your psyche and your physical. Do you think it takes away from your guys just like stage presence towards the end of the? Because at that point, you're like, well, this is the working set.

The other part of it is because the set has also been sorted out. You've weeded through the things that you've found that aren't working in the first couple weeks. From a song standpoint, like, or transitions or songs pairings, stuff like that. And you're like really found a vein. You know, we're not like Bruce Springsteen where it's like every night we're taking requests. And you're like, okay, you guys remember Chuck Berry's, you know, it's still like on rails, much more like the Eagles. like they had a thing on a tour and they fucking pounded it into the ground

and it was just like pitch perfect like you're really trying to get to that level of like performance purity and precision but like your your performance is you've got all these new tricks you know what I mean and like everything has evolved through it

so if at its best you're working less and doing more and sounding better than you have if you're not smoking weed and you're blowing your vocals out or like playing music after a show at a thousand percent or doing a podcast for two hours with your buddies or what are the things you're avoiding on tour

well it's funny because when we started it was it was wild yeah we were just partying every night I remember meeting you guys at the CA barbecue and I was like those fucking guys and dude we were wearing the crop top pennies yeah it was hilarious we were like that every night

and it exacted And exacted a toll. I had to go to see a voice doctor, a throat doctor, right before COVID. And he's like, he's like, dude, you can't, you can't, like, be drinking and smoking and, like, screaming and playing this. He's like, you're going to lose your voice. You have to get surgery. And then with COVID, we took a big break, and I was able to rest my voice. And then we've really evolved.

You know, as the stakes get higher, we've had to become athletes. you know we're again up in the morning and we're drinking you know our full spectrum shake with all the nutrients and you know fucking making everybody work out and getting a sweat in and stretching and and you know living healthy now um you still drink coors light on that night you know you have a couple cores lights to kind of to mellow out but it's it's become once you run under your cova drink well yeah you can't you can't it's the party thing if you want to get it to the next level which we're trying to um you've got to kind of be that Yeah, try this.

This guy, we've got it, with Cameron, has a whole thing now with our tour minutes. It's whiskey and fos. Vodka sodas. And he doesn't know, but he's just giving him soda at the end of the show. So Karen is like faking drunk. No, no, I'm done. Vaca on the road. No more.

Right now I'm off of it. After NASCAR. Really? Yeah, you have to go and waves on stuff. So let me ask you guys this. When you, this is your third album or fourth album? So it's our third studio recording for Big Machine. We actually put out four albums.

Gotcha. few. In COVID we put out the Sonic Ranch, which was a collection, it was a, it was our original recordings that we did to get a record deal is the thing we were showing people. And COVID happened and we basically went back to the vaults and found all the footage

from that first recording and these recordings and we went and mixed them and stuff. But now you're doing so much more stuff like you're writing for a movie, which hey, whether you're going to be in. Yeah, I don't know if you do that. This is a... We're announcing.

Yeah, you tell me the negative. Yeah. I put you a lot. Yeah. You're in like one. and you guys have a horror and you're acting too. What is, what are you guys this big plan as far as like from a band standpoint? Like how do you guys have a date of like, hey, we're going to do this for 10 more years? And then we want to like, yeah.

Kind of do our things, that's it. God, no, we've got a couple more albums on this. And you know, life on the road is, it's a blast. You know, playing shows, it's easy to get it, no matter how tired you are, because it's just like one of the, you guys know, it's like stepping on the field in front of that. thousands of people, you get such a rush. It's amazing. But the traveling and being away from home and, you know, being a grown man living three feet away from, you know,

your bandmate and business partner and best buddies, you know, that stuff really wears on you. So, I mean, it does, but I mean, I thought it was going to hit a nice little bit. You know, there's certain guys like Willie Nelson is, Willie Nelson's a road dog. Willie Nelson is happy. He wants to be out, 200. 80 days every year for his entire life. And I think we enjoy the road.

We've been touring so hard. This road life might be a little bit different than our road life. Yeah. I think, yeah, I think we're really interested in continuing to expand, you know, the full spectrum of being an artist. And, you know, Jess is creative directing for HBRC and designing and stuff. And Cameron's a really talented writer and director. And, you know, we've created Insolito from... from scratch with our partners and that was an amazing creative exercise and it's all related to it you know

it's all creation um but yeah it'd be it'd be fun to have some other things going and and maybe two or three months out of the year yeah yeah no doubt have you guys ever been tested like the band like the boys breaking up or anything like that have we been tested like have you like you guys ever been testing oh my god like dude we've we're brothers each one of us has thrown a fist any interchangeable fights there you know, that's happened. There's been times from the three of us are just fighting and you don't even know who's like fighting, you know? It's just, it's like family. That's right.

There's been a point where you guys go, I'm fucking one of you guys go, I'm done. That's it. And you got really many, many times. Really? Absolutely. What is it usually over? Do you live on a submarine, basically? Because that's what a tour bus is.

The tension of it. It's a cylindrical metal, you know, tube that you live on for months of the year and you sleep this far away from. somebody, you know, you brush your teeth going down the road, you know, knocking into people. Entions get high. Yeah, and you mix that with being tired, you know, because, you know, for a band like us, you know, it's a mix of fly dates and bus dates. Fly dates mean you get up really early in the morning. Bus dates usually mean that you go to bed super late and you don't get probably that great

of sleep, you know, so fatigue and... Dude, how about the performance pressure? You know, the pressure, the stakes are really high, the performance. You got a cool. I mean, which is, just that comment in general is kind of wild to me

because like, what was a lesson a month ago, we were at Soho House together. Just you weren't there, but like you guys were hanging out in the back. You're doing an interview with this poor woman who just wants to get serious questions at you guys.

You're like, oh, do the interview with us. I'm saying, you guys just like having a fucking great time. It's a small set, obviously, and you're probably doing a favor in a way, but it just seems super relaxed.

Like it didn't seem overly stressful compared to when I go walking to a locker room and I see guys, Well, you got the headphones on, staring at a wall, you know, shit like that. The big pressure that, like, we have fun. You got to have fun with it. And look, we love each other. You know, we're our brothers at this point.

We're really good friends. So we have a lot of laugh and have a lot of fun. But it's, you know, you're also doing something really intimate. You're creating and writing music, you know, and you have three really strong opinions. So you're naturally going to have that tension as three grown men, artists, creators that are, you know, also business. partners, also travel partners, also essentially, you know, roommates. And we don't, we're not like, you know, somebody like Eric Church or Chris Dapleton, like, you know, they tour, I was just looking at Chris's tour schedule and he's just touring his ass off for like

three months. You know what I mean? And then he's off. You know, he's on the road. He's on the road basically 12 months out of the year. We take a three-week break for Christmas and then it's like right back at it. And we've been doing that for, you know, eight years straight. It doesn't really end.

Why do you think that it's just the stages of where you guys are at in your careers? We don't know how to say no. It's hard to take your foot off the gas when you're getting constantly new. When the trajectory is going like that, you know, it's hard to take your foot off the gas and say no to stuff. You want to continue to strike all the hours of time. It went like that for four years and we toured nonstop. And then COVID happened, knocked us down for like two years. And now it's now we got to make a time, you know.

at a time when we probably felt like we would be slowing down. Now it's like turning the dial back in. The bigger you get, the less money you make because your company's growing bigger. You got multiple buses. You got more, the shows getting bigger. You got a much bigger crew.

So the overhead's getting bigger. And it's kind of like this vicious cycle. That's wild. You get stuck in it, but, you know, again, it all comes back down to the music to the shows. And that's what makes it so rewarding. so rewarding. It's such a rush. We love writing, we love recording,

and we love playing. So that's what makes it worthwhile. But yeah, man, I mean, it's, that's think about all the, all of our heroes that have flamed out and died early, you know. Yeah. The road is a dangerous place. Yeah. And, you know, and the temptations are real in a lot of ways. So

it's, it's tough being a family man, but three of us are essentially brothers, and we've been through fucking hell and back. And you know essentially we've lifted each other up as opposed to being like a solo artist where you're kind of out there on your own so as much as you know it sucks when you look at your bank statement you're splitting everything three ways um you know it's great it's great having a you know brothers on the road to kind of lift you up and get to be accountable too the whole time also

someone's flound off the rails a little bit and kind of hey fuck yeah bring them in a touch when it comes we got a rain Cameron and all the fucking time hey you got that juice now see y'all go i wonder if that is I'll NSF certify. I do, I really want to try that. From a writing standpoint, and I'm just peppering them now, because we took the last hour talking about God knows what. From a writing standpoint, what does the writing look like for you guys? Like, how do you sit down and go, like, do that process? We typically will just book time to go get together and write. You know, there's people that do it every day and they get together with people and they write every day or they write by themselves every day. Personally, for me, because there are many

outlets creatively, like, depending on what the state of mind I'm in at any given time, it's not like I'm not sitting down at the guitar every single day writing. So scheduling stuff as a band, we also don't live near each other anymore, all three of us. So we get together, we're like, we're going to write for the next album. You know, we'll block out time. And you'll come with a song idea, a song title, some chords, whatever, and then just, you know, start making shit. And the odd thing is

or the remarkable thing about this band is just how consistently we can get together and create good shit. You know, like I feel like even our mediocre stuff is 15 times better than shit that's

on the radio. And I'm bragging but it's the truth. Like we just make really great stuff I feel like, you know. And also this is another luxury of being in a band, you can say shit like that and not sound like an asshole. Right. If I was... Why don't you sound like an asshole right now? Eric Church, if I say what I do is

great, then I'm taking all the credit as opposed to sharing the credit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So... As opposed to sharing the credit. So I feel like we have a really great rapport

when it comes to respecting each other and like sitting down and fucking writing music. Like, there's also a level of like you have to be there has to be a different mode than like sitting around and stealing the mic you know what i mean it's a different totally different dynamic sitting down the right like you have to be very sensitive and have your feelers out and let everyone talk and do your thing like it's a total dark art form it's got be tough huh it's hard for everybody talks it's really hard for me yeah yeah i mean that was this

i was just meditating right now as he's talking out there's so many times i wanted to interject and jump in there Yeah, yeah. But my boy just was very eloquent and delivered that master's. He speaks beautiful. He really does. He's good, he's good. He's good to look at it. Now, we got a great thing going, man.

And this, the new album is, fuck, we haven't listened to it since, like, we, you know, mixed it for mastering. And we were just doing interviews right before this and going over and listening to the songs. And, yeah, it's going to be killer. Well, I'll tell you what, you guys, I know you guys have to get out of here, but I will, well, that's, worked out well. The, um, your guys'

sound for sure is, is different. And it's, it's awesome because it's almost like, almost making fun of like 80s music. Like it's very twangy and very more like, kind of bringing back older school country with like a new twist on it. And it's very,

way influenced by the 80s. Yeah. 90s country. It is. And you can see it too when you listen to it. It's, you guys are my most, my favorite band to listen to from a country standpoint.

And it's, it definitely, you guys do an amazing job. An amazing job. Thanks, dude. You're a, third favorite offensive alignment tour. Hey, top five boys.

Top five. Who's your one and two? No, Taylor's the best. And, you know, watching his highlights, he's very entertained. He's like watching a hockey player play, you know, play football. Yeah, before you guys, okay, we have

one bolded thing. Your favorite band ever? Ruth Springs scene in the East Street band. All right. Solid. I'm going to disrupt the pattern here. I'll go with I'm going with the Eagles. I'm going with Eagles.

That's what I figured you were going to say. Rolling Stones would have been like the first thing out of my mouth, but they made some shit records, to be honest with you in the 80s that I hate. And Eagles, because they broke up, they had a luxury of cutting themselves off, only put out bangers, one through the long run. So I'm going with Eagles.

Mark, what do you got? You're closing this spot right now with this for Mark. And you can talk as long as you want. Semi... You ever heard Semi-Sonic closing time? No. Yeah, that's... Closy.

Oh, that's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna say, no. Semi-Sonics really threw me off. My favorite band of all time is... This is gonna be really lame. It's, like, super boilerplate. But it's just...

Well, I was thinking of Radiohead, but I think it's got to be the Beatles. As far as, like, influence goes, I mean, the... That's all. safe answer. Yeah, it's boring, but then you go, like, also Paul McCartney and Wings is like also just a whole other obsession. But I mean, they're so prolific.

It's hard not to. And they've had a huge influence at us as songwriters and as studio, studio rats. Someone's going to say Beatles on you. It's got to be. But also, the Dark Horse would be Radiohead. I'm like obsessed with radio. Really? Yeah.

They're solid, man. This is the greatest live show I've ever seen. Their ACL performance was on mushrooms was nothing short of the greatest show I've ever seen. Oh, Tom Petty is also going to be like Wrenner's. My morning jacket was amazing last summer as well. Oh, we're talking about live shows.

Yeah, they were awesome. But they're also just a great band. Yeah. Okay, boys. And Midland. And Midland is my favorite band. So besides Midland, dude, I think Midland's my favorite. I'm not going to lie, man.

My wife put it on Midland on Sonos the other day. I was taking a shower. And because my daughter wanted, she goes, I want to hear Daddy. So she put it on. And I was like, what the fuck. And then you're like, hey, we got some hitters. And I'm not getting, because I don't like listen to Midland. Well, look.

I mean, you guys got it. But I would say Zizi Top. Oh, yeah. Zizi Top. Oh, yeah. They're like my favorite band to go to on game day when I'm driving into the stadium. Fucking, you just can't beat Zizi Top. A lot of Swagger.

So good. Yes. We got a lot of Zizi Top. Love Zizi Top. Two songs. King of Saturday nights. got a bunch of Zizi Top and a song that that we collabed with John Osborne

on called Paycheck to Paycheck is like just straight Zizi top shit. I love that. What do you got, Taylor? Oh, you know my favorite band of all time. Who's your favorite? Blink 182? I think that.

I fucking love that band. Okay, so I just went back and listened. Travis. Go on. Let's go. Unbelievable. And I'm out of the state. And I'm out of the state

and take out of the pants and jacket. Unreal. And the Blink 182 album they put it in 2003. The one with, Dahlina The slow song That's an absurd You know

I miss you I miss you Hello there The Angel of my nightmare So those three records I never got into that I never got into that In California

That was huge That was huge Fucking huge for Yeah And actually Cheshire Has a couple Bong or

Bong Spong rips bangers on it, but this was the one I had this t-shirt. And my mom was like, unacceptable. Dude, Ranch was fire. These three were really my go-toes right here. The point in A2, the take off your pants jacket. This one had damage. I did a deep time.

Yeah, that's a great song. I jumped back into Sublime. I put Sublime down for years. And Sublime was so fucking good. The Sublime is Pepper. I love the band Pepper, dude. You don't like Pepper? I don't like him as much as Sublime.

Wow. I think he said Sublime. Oh, no. Oh, it looks amazing for me. I love Pepper, dude. I saw Pepper Live, so I'm... Yeah. I've...

Everybody know it was an absolute genius. All of his... All of his reggae stuff. Who have you seen... The acoustic sessions? The most... The thing was just probably... It's better.

It's been to be seen the most live. I can tell you mine. That I've actually seen... I mean, I've seen... I've seen... In 311, I've seen more than anybody. I've seen them each, like, a dozen times, dude. Radiohead.

I've seen Radiohead about 12 times. I haven't been to many concerts. I'm not a concert guy. Me neither. I'm really not. The band I've probably seen most is y'all. Like at Old Red and then at Soho House. Wait, you guys don't go to concerts?

Not really. I don't go to concerts like that. I still love going to concerts. Fingleon is another concert. I probably make sure. Fuck, yeah. Their first three albums were incredible.

And actually, the album. Nickelback? No. Oh, like that. Yeah. Nickelback fucking hits, bro. Nickelback is, That's the fucking worst, man.

All the same thing is are my fucking bands. Kings of Leon, Youth and Young Manhood, and AHA Shake Heartbreak are two of the greatest rock and roll albums. Pull up Kings of the Mail real quick.

No, they weren't. Actually, they were there. They were there, but we were hanging out next to them. And talking to them. And they were like, get the fuck out of him. Well, Jared, the bassist and I used to be really close. He was a groomsman in my wedding. The way, like, we met was when you go to the draft,

And I, like, 72 hours before I got drafted, I was like, make my walkout song Rock City. That's a fucking awesome song. So I walk out there and I'm at Losers, which is in Midtown.
