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.
I'm Joey Dardano.
And on my new podcast, Hope From a Hypocrite, I'll be changing lives,
helping people in need with thoughtful solutions.
Sike, I'm a comedian.
I'm not qualified to give good advice.
Join me and my comedian friends as we riff, rant,
recommend some of the most legally dubious advice known to me.
This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know.
Listen to Help from a Hypocrite Wednesdays on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
There are times when the mind becomes a difficult place to live.
This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast,
and for Mental Health Awareness Month,
we'll talk with singer-songwriter Jewel about anxiety.
I started living in my car, and then my car got stolen.
I was having panic attacks.
I was agoraphobic.
This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations
about what happens when the brain goes off course.
Listen to Inner Cosmos on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Betting on a game.
Gonna tell us what you do.
And I'll just drinking beer and making that...
Bussing with the boys.
Bro.
There you go.
There it is.
North County High School is the, like, most...
I don't want to say generic because it's not supposed to be an insult, but, like, the most...
Hey, we need to do a football movie.
Write a script.
What's the name of the school?
North County High School.
Like that's, you know what I'm saying?
Like the go-to fucking name.
Yeah.
North County High.
Yeah, yeah.
We are rolling right now.
Well, I was talking about North County High with Wilcompton because we were talking about
this nuts thing, dude, then he just kept saying the word nuts over and over.
Who's nuts?
Yeah, exactly.
But before we talk about nuts, dude, let's talk about the Chevy Silverado.
What we're nuts about?
That's ZR1 that might be sitting out of the shop right now.
That belongs to Wilcompton.
That thing is absolutely.
I got the opportunity to drive that the other day.
Jackie and I were filming a merch ad and headed over to an establishment.
I thought to myself, this is a fantastic vehicle.
The performance on that thing is nice, right?
But let me tell you something.
There's a new family with Unstoppable Grit, and they are the official partners of
a bustling with the boys' family, and that is the Chevy Silverado ZR2 family, not the
ZR1.
The first ever Silverado Heavy Duty ZR2 joins the franchise to make Chevy ZR2 the only truck
brand with a full line of trucks ready for whenever you're a lot.
off-road adventure takes you with the exclusive
Multimatic DSSV dampers,
rugged, mud, terrain tires, and
up to 14 available camera views.
That's a lot of camera views. Brother, that's a lot of camera views.
The Chevy Severado X-R-2
and Silverado HD-ZR-2,
a family with commanding
and unstoppable grit. Head over to shrivy.com
and check out Chevy Silverado
and the family of Chevy ZR-2's the official truck
of Buston with the boys.
I got a story.
As a matter of fact, this morning,
pulling in to my favorite little coffee
coffee watering hole, atherners, pulling in very tight parking spot.
I'm talking I had the Austin powers probably three times, in, out, in out.
Because it was like a wall, right?
So I'm trying to get around it, trying not to hit the back tires.
But you were bringing up the cameras.
You don't pull that off without those cameras.
Because there's times, like, you know, I'm using the cameras to get in there,
and it's telling me exactly where I am compared to the car that's next to me in the spot to the left.
But if you're just eye in that, you think you are scraping the car.
You know what I mean?
Like, especially with the truck, it gets a little too high.
You're like, there's no way I have any more space here.
But with them cameras, bro, like, I know, here's what I thought of my head.
I'm like, keep your composure, keep backing out, in and out, in and out.
I know everybody's sitting in that coffee shop right now is like, is this motherfucker
pulled?
Was it a glass right to you and you were essentially backing into the glass?
No, I was pulling.
I was pulling because it was the very first spot coming out, coming off the main street.
So I didn't really have done to pulling in.
and then back in there,
it probably would have been a lot easier.
The back in a truck is beyond the best way to do it.
I knew everybody's in there.
Is he going to pull this off?
That crazy, my bastard pulled this thing off?
What is that?
Is that a Chevy ZR2?
I might have to look into that.
Yeah.
I'm telling you, it was nice.
It was a big win.
And there's obviously men out there.
There's probably six of them in the whole continental United States
that can probably do that without cameras.
They're probably all in Texas or Montana.
You know what I'm saying?
Some real true gritty,
not some domesticated cats like you and I,
but some real true gritty cats
that can pull that off,
but not everybody's built like that.
I'm glad you brought up the cameras
because you can't be ashamed to use the camera.
I know you're bringing it up.
I'm like, man,
people need a story that's like,
and that right there, I think is it.
Yeah, because 14 cameras, brother.
If you get a car accident with 14 cameras,
that's on you.
You need to reevaluate yourself.
You need to use the technology around you
to keep moving forward.
You know what I'm saying?
That's how winning gets done.
Yeah, that's how winning gets done.
But before I read that beautiful Chevy ad
and I did a phenomenal job bringing that tip of the cap to me,
well, you were talking about nuts, dude,
just saying nuts.
nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts over again before this show started.
And I was like, you need to bring that back up.
But then Mitch having that big brain energy, dude, he fucking just put the record button on.
I kind of gave me an end.
Yeah.
What is the nuts thing you're talking about?
Because you're trying to, essentially people who are listening.
We're trying to talk about new segments, which some of you are probably like,
we can't do another fucking segment.
But like, it's more, this is a work in progress.
This is how our podcast happens.
It's more to give it some, like, something to regiment somehow.
Because we get long winded.
We just get gone.
We get rattled.
And I'm thinking, like, you know, it was awesome.
of football. I can't wait to dive into it. I'm just thinking like,
what do we do coming out on the weekend?
Jesus. You, that motherfucker was on your forehead
earlier, too. He's been treating you bad.
I know. I know. I know. He has that fucking fly.
But it's like, yo,
it's like, whose nuts was a positive
thing at North County High School.
The North County Raiders, it was a who's nuts
player of the week.
Friday night lights would kick off, bro, right before
kickoff. Everybody's banging on the bleachers
with their feet, dude. And everybody's like,
who's nuts, who's on the sideline?
Who's nuts? Who's nuts? Like, who's going to be
the crazy psycho that flies down on kickoff and tattoos somebody.
And then there would be a shirt, Who's Nuts Play of the Week?
I'm just thinking, like, you know, how do we do like a Who's Nuts?
What are some headline?
What are some things that we're just like, like, I'm curious, who are your wins of the
weekend or who are some things that you want to shout out?
Like, who put their nuts on the line?
Who got, whose nuts got castrated?
Yeah.
I'm trying to like ideate, like, how we get in, hear yours, you hear mine.
Because you start, we try to talk to each other before the pot.
We're all like, save for the pot.
for the pot.
So we kind of just don't know what we're thinking.
Our friendships really turn into that where it's like, hey, just wait until
microphones are in front of our face before we have any conversation of substance
at all.
You call me.
I have a call.
I text you.
I'm like,
do you actually need to talk to me right now?
Can we just do this?
Can we just do this on the pod?
I'll see in three days.
Like, just relax.
And we've spent what?
Every single day together for two weeks, pretty much.
Yes.
Aside from our Sundays and even then we're texting about the games.
Yeah, because we're fired up about our bets, which, by the way, if you look at the
watch the S&P 500, that is a new show slips and
picks 500 bus with the boy releases every
Thursday. Thursday. Thursday.
We're kind of still figuring out.
Because our boys in the back are doing an incredible job
editing. But there's so much on their plate
right now that it's kind of like, you got to just go with it.
You got to be like water, my boys and girls.
You got to form to what's happening around you.
Bruce Lee.
Yeah. And so JP Hovey, he's the one that's editing
that in the back. And the man's just working because he's also
doing but the bus the week before he did
he did our vlog.
He does vlogs. All the boys are fucking
All the boys are just in a fucking blender right now.
And we're really just trying to get through the month of September.
That's how much fucking hard.
You can get through that month of September.
Pick is checking out these winners.
We're dealing on slips and picks.
We are looking, not us, William Gecko, Chet Savage, and Theodore the Mule.
The Mule.
He's the black guy.
Yeah.
But, dude, it is a fun.
It is.
You should check it out.
And I did.
I was looking at the wins and lost total of what happened this past weekend.
I'll tell you what, Chet Savage, he went to seven and five in his picks.
And he was.
was 5 and O before that
underover bullshit started to happen.
He's taking a little page out of Gecko's book
because he really did dial in
every single winner this past week.
So maybe check that out.
Also, we were in Athens, Georgia
this weekend and we go up to this suite.
Shout out, Georgia.
We need to go into that whole thing.
But this is the side little pieces.
We're up in this suite
and this guy comes and sits next to me.
Apparently this guy is like the Fandulul Fantasy winner.
Two time world champion.
Two time world champion.
Sorry, two-time world champion.
He's like, yeah, I've won $12 million.
Draft Kings.
Gambling, draft kings, yeah, not Fandul.
And he's like, seen there, literally showing me
trophy, showing me all this stuff.
And I'm, like, all right, so what kind of parlayes do you do?
And he looked at me like, you're, you're an idiot.
You're an idiot if you do only do straight bets.
Only do straight bets.
Now, I will say, though, slips and picks, easy teams favorite fun.
That hit, and I did bet on that thing.
That was like plus 326.
So, pickle the odds.
I'm telling you.
So I'm just letting you know, your boy, you know.
But he maybe can't pull it off, but slips and picks.
Yeah, yeah, we might be able to, yeah, I think we're pulling it off with our little parlays.
But the nuts topic, whether we're giving flowers for the weekend, we're handing out nuts, whatever the case may be.
What are a couple things you love seeing over the weekend before we start recap, kind of recapping the games?
When it comes to who let their nuts hang out, we'll start with college football.
Okay.
And we'll get flowers.
And I know that I haven't really put my, but,
my, I haven't jog a line in the sand yet about where I stand on this football team because
I've showed them a lot of support in the past, but not being the recipient of my team getting
support has really drawn me away from them.
But I do want to give flowers to the Nebraska Cornhuskers getting their first win in Lincoln,
Nebraska.
They played a good ball game.
They played a good ball game against an equally talented NIAU football team.
There it is.
And hold on, hold on.
They played a good ball game.
they, for the most part, to carry the football,
they had one turnover, but I think they got two, right?
They got two turnovers.
They ran the ball really well.
They managed the clock.
They put points on the board.
The defense played well as they have in the last three weeks,
aside from the second half of the Colorado game.
And it's just nice to see your friend
who is just truly fighting a battle that no one's fighting with him.
Get something to hang his hat on.
Because, I mean, I wanted to punch you out in the car ride back from Athens.
I really did.
It was so fucking annoying.
But also, like, I got to, they let their nuts hang out in Lincoln Nebraska.
They drop their nuts on the table.
That's my shout out for college.
Just for college, there's a lot of other teams that probably aren't deserving.
But, you know, one team as well, but I'll let you do yours because there is another team I want to give their nuts shout out to.
I will say my first handout, nuts in a barrel, wheeling them down on Victory Monday right now.
Mac Collins, his Twitter post, yesterday after the game, I loved it.
The Savage thing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I saw that.
Grabbing it over the DB Savage for Green Bay.
Who is a stud?
But Grah, like, and then his caption was,
everybody wants to be a savage until you see one face to face.
Yeah.
Yo, that is fucking awesome.
That is a fucking nice little deal.
That is a nice little deal.
But that'll be kind of my first dish of the net.
So we talked about going college and then you were right to the NFL,
but yeah, that's really good.
I feel like maybe it's the weekend.
Like dealing out, that's your weekend.
You're handing out the flowers.
You're giving the nuts out.
Right.
Dude, one team that did put their nuts out there this weekend,
the Florida Gators.
Oh, wow.
You're staying in college.
Yeah.
Well, I wanted to kind of stay on my topic.
Yeah.
And listen, we love Jack McPherson on this podcast.
So he said a lot of things.
He's emotions have been high, especially between him and I.
And I bet on the Tennessee volunteers this weekend.
I want the Tennessee volunteers to be successful.
But as a college,
football fan. You've got to appreciate
a team that's
you know,
underdogs in their own stadium
and playing the way they did.
The excitement of fucking
a fight going on in the fourth quarter
of the head coach is about to throw down
like they're in rough and rowdy, 46 or whatever.
Like it is, that's
what rivalry games are all about. Obviously it didn't
go the way McPherson wanted. My boy was
on Suey Watch until obviously Tennessee
Titans took a big win as the underdogs
as they always do against the Chargers.
Chet Savage did call that. But you got to give that
give their flowers.
I like the nuts thing.
You like the nuts thing?
Okay, cool.
I love that.
I love that.
I'm sure we'll work
and have some better
verbiage on just being like,
all right,
here's my,
my nuts are going here.
Yeah,
yeah.
Talk about some,
some wheelbarrel nuts.
Eric B.
enemy,
the host.
That's the second time
you use wheelbarrel nuts.
Like I said,
we'll get better.
Do something new.
Uh,
you drop in the nuts on the table?
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And half time.
Eric B.
Enemy,
the O.
For the Washington
commanders,
they were as good as dead out in Denver in that altitude.
Half time, it's like, I saw your tweet, the Broncos are nice.
The Broncos play good football.
Like, they're still a tough team.
I know they absolutely soiled it during the second half at home.
That is a tough look and going to be hard to bounce back.
They do have some vulnerabilities now.
But E.B, the OC, the halftime adjustments coming out and scoring 30, what was it, 35, 32, the final score.
But the commanders, it's like he's.
the new OC, so it's going to take them a minute to find their identity. But that second half,
boys, how looking more comfortable, getting in rhythm in the pocket, scary Terry going up
between two defenders in the end zone. Robinson, Brian Robinson, just running angry. Like,
Washington is nice. The NFC East is a very fucking tough, scrappy division. But my, yeah,
my nuts, yeah, on the table, EB, I think that that is a massive win on the road in the altitude.
dude, if anything else,
you're worse off in the second half out in Denver if you're not used to it, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And I think them coming out,
putting up,
putting up them points in the second half,
they were rolling,
bro.
It's hard to win in Mile High Stadium,
especially in September.
Shout out to commanders on that.
But if you're a Denver Broncos fan,
you're tuning into bustling with the boys right now.
Have no fear,
dude,
because I thought the Broncos are dead.
I said it a whole bunch before even week one happened.
You guys are O and 2,
but that's a damn good O&2 football team.
Sean Payton.
has done an amazing job of turning around the culture.
Things didn't go your way in the situation.
You get the two-point conversion.
Who knows what happens?
And overtime, like, that's a good ball club
that has a lot of wins coming their way down the stretch.
Maybe.
I, yeah, it's, you got to be able to step on their throat.
Just like you said, the AFCE, yeah,
you got to be able to step in the throat.
But he, this is a new, a first-year head coach
of a new franchise putting, like, implementing his culture
and the turnaround, I mean, they scored 33 points.
Did they score three points in total last year?
They were awful last year.
Good point.
You know what I'm saying?
Fair point.
They're getting things going.
And the ball didn't go their way.
There's four or five plays a game.
This is one of those games where four or five plays with a difference maker and the commanders took more of those
plays than the other team.
And I did say I messed up a minute ago and said 35 in the second half.
It was 24 nothing in the second quarter before the pro watching finally got on the board.
Yeah, that's wild.
But, uh...
And you're watching that game going, man, that altitude is crazy up there.
Yeah.
For whatever reason that's the thing you go to, dude.
They can win, man.
And it is tough, man.
They show people on the thing, sucking on those little oxygen tanks.
It's tough.
The two kid ball clubs and two of the best divisions in NFL football.
So.
Yeah.
That's my second.
That's my second set of nuts.
I'll tell you what the number one nuts needs to be, though.
It needs to be the special teams coach for the New England Patriots.
Literally, truly innovated, changed the field goal block unit forever.
How genius is that?
How come nobody's ever thought about that of lining up a guy on the opposite hash or towards the other sideline and watching the holder look back at the kicker knowing the timing they have if he looks one, two, flashes the hand, ball comes.
That's the type of shit that can be timed up, no problem.
Now you can do a fake flash and all that, and it's really easy to do because you're taught in field goal not to move into the ball of snap.
So you really just need the snapper, the holder, the kicker to be on the same page.
But you can switch that up.
but that's incredible and it's crazy that.
That was awesome.
Once again,
the Patriots changed the game years ago.
There's a thing called bungee.
And it's basically in the defensive line.
It's a critical part of the game.
And there's less than, you know, two minutes.
And there's a 10-second runoff when there's a penalty
when the clock's still going and you bungee that's where the D-line moves
laterally really fast.
The Patriots came up with that too.
And they're just continuing to innovate.
Belichick's been doing this for 45,000 years.
Yeah.
And they're still doing stuff like it's just, it's just beautiful.
And the reason Bungie is good and works at times is because the O line, you can correct me if I'm wrong.
You guys just aren't moving until the ball goes.
Like you said, it's the holder and the snapper.
They're the ones that's kind of on the same page.
It's not that cut and dry as it is in field goal.
Like you need to know what the snap count is, anticipate and move while.
But sometimes the silent count, right?
Yeah, but you have cues and all that too.
Got you, got you.
You got you.
You're cues on too.
But that's why you're anticipating the head movement of the center or the guard putting his
handout in the center moving his head.
That tells you when he's going to snap the ball and on what cadence.
But when you're watching for that way, and let's say it's on one.
And all of a sudden, said Hutt, Blue 80 and then on that second Blue 80, the D-Line moves, you could.
And you just hear that vocal too, move.
Yeah.
And that could really, really-
Sparks you for a second.
It gives you a little flinch for a second.
It does give you a little flinch for a second, dude.
So your third set is the New England Special Teams.
Yeah, my third set's got to be New England Special Teams, dude.
I'm surprised you're not going with the boys right here sitting in Nashville.
that gritty fucking win.
We just talked about them so much last week,
and I know we're talking about the nuts segment,
but they've been underdogs
and winning over and over again.
Like, they're four-point underdogs early
going against the Browns next week.
Like, it's not crazy just to bet on them again.
Yeah, you know?
That's something you got to do, dude.
But, like, I don't know.
You don't want to get,
you don't want to just turn this to do
an only Titans podcast.
Like, they deserve their flowers
and they'll get that when we talk more NFL football.
I'm just talking about.
My third set of nuts
is going to go to that fan that broke up the fight
between the Niners player and the Rams player.
Oh, I didn't see that.
Yeah, it was like close to the wall
and this fan is in there trying to separate him.
Hey, hey, stop, stop.
And I thought it was, it was ballsy.
It's ballsy.
You're sitting there.
You got these two gladiators.
I'm going to call these NFL players gladiators.
I love what people call him gladiators.
Yeah, about to scuffle.
And you just like, you're getting in there,
being the bigger man.
Hey, be mature about this.
You're better than that.
Yeah, because you're watching.
You think he'd side with this boy.
Look at stuff.
It's the Niners fan right there.
You think he'd like start to help out his boy, Dibo.
But he's trying to break up Dibo.
He realizes, hey, Dibo, don't be doing this now.
We need you.
We need you next week.
So that's where my point game too.
Yeah, that's where my third set of nuts is going to that fan for the fan.
I love his little hand wisp.
He's got two more little things.
He doesn't, he's just hitting air, but he's doing it for the love of the game.
He could use a haircut.
Yeah, my fourth set of nuts goes to, I'm just kidding, dude.
Yeah, you could absolutely use a haircut, dude.
And if you're going to go to a place, why not go to sport clips?
dude, your hair may grow fast,
but after going to Sport Clips
haircuts, you wish it grew even faster.
That's because Sport Clips has the best
seats in hair.
And then, when they put the parentheses,
I get, my whole system gets rerouted.
I have such a hard time.
Woo!
Okay.
We know that watching sports while getting a haircut
sure beats watching a reflection
get a haircut, which is why
at Sport Clips every day is Clippers
and curveballs, high tops and Hail Marys,
and even waves and wickets.
At Sport Clips, you can check in with the pros
and men's hair and totally check out with
Peer on an erupted relaxation.
So yeah, come watch an endless
stream of sports on TV while getting an
awesome haircut, sport clips. It's a game
changer. If I, hey, if I ignore the,
what are those called? The little half
half moons. Yeah, if I
ignore the parentheses,
I do a whole lot better reading.
But when I read that second one
and the parentheses came up, I was like,
Like, am I supposed to read that?
Brain just shut down.
But yeah, dude, I like the nuts thing.
Three sets of nuts.
Three sets of nuts.
Three sets of nuts.
20 minutes into the fucking deal.
Yeah, yeah, we'll clean it up.
We'll clean it up.
You want to talk more ball?
We'll talk more ball.
We can talk some more since we're on the NFL.
Since we're on the NFL?
We're on the NFL.
But yeah, and you brought it up before we even talked about.
Like, I can't believe the nuts aren't going on the Titans.
Like, I mean, Titans did exactly what Chet Savage said they were going to do on the S&P 500.
like anytime i think the NFL actually tweeted something like this too it's like 18 underdog wins
mike oh no he has the most 25 since 2018 underdog wins that mike rable has you know and it's like
he's never an underdog and it's it's really like that's why you kind of look at this clep and brown
game ago yeah you might have the titans is plus four yeah no problem or titan's money line low key
they played well man they played well because the charges are tough and tannhill too like everyone
calling for Tana Hill's head and like you know
it wasn't like the cleanest operation the cleanest
game in the world he was under a lot of duress
with pressure and stuff like that but he had a couple
of good bombs like a 60 year bomb and a 70
year bomb with Birx and
it's just the play calling
too like Tim Kelly has that Arthur
Smith that vibe to him
where they're going to start when they start
jelling when they inevitably do start
jelling it's going to be
a lot of points per game because Tim
he gets it he understands ball and he understands
how to utilize his weapons
so I think that's going to be,
it's a very bright future
for this Tennessee Titans, a very bright future.
Yeah, and their, you know, their defense
showed up when they needed them to at crunch time,
for sure. Like, your boy, yes, I had, did I have the
Chargers minus two and a half? Yes.
But you bet your ass all's up, yelling
who run at the TV when Harold Landry just shows up
there in the end and gets that sack, and I'm like,
I mean, I guess I'm going to lose the bet, but you never know.
Yeah, but you didn't. But I was fired up.
I was fired up.
It is one of those deals when you,
when you fade your own team, it's like, if you lose your bet, at least your team won.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like you're kind of in a win-win situation.
Yeah, you're in a win.
And it was good to see Tanny get that, get that gritty win with the boys because he was under a lot of,
he was under a lot of heat because he had a bad game last week.
Yeah.
And it also goes to show, like, from a talent standpoint, it seems like the Chargers
have more talent than the Tennessee Titans.
But a lot of Chargers fans right now are getting mad at the coaching staff because of their
their understanding of situational ball.
The way they were using their timeouts late in the,
in the fourth quarter,
kind of back and forth and how they,
they should have maybe gone for it instead of kick three.
And one thing that ties don't have to worry about is their coaching staff,
understanding situational ball.
Like,
got to give that tip of the cat to Mike Ravel.
Yeah.
It really is.
And the charges is,
it reminds me a lot of,
Nebraska back in 2021.
Go ahead, buddy.
Speak your truth.
But I see some people post.
They're like,
charges are the team.
It's like, we always almost always win.
It was something like that.
So good ball club.
I know they go through and they got Kellyn Moore.
I saw Orlowski tweet saying like, you know, you bring in Kellamore a top OC
and the offense looks the same kind of as last year as far as the operation, the play,
calling and everything else.
But I know Chargers fans are sick because they have a good team.
They have a good team.
They got, they should still have optimism, though, because that division, nobody's 2 and O.
Raiders dropped, got their ass whooped down Buffalo.
I hated to see that.
It does look like the bills are back on track.
And then also...
We knew that was going to happen, though.
Yeah.
Kansas City won, but they only won 14 to 6.
The only one...
Was it only 14 and 6, or was it 149?
179.
That's my...
Same point differential, though.
Same point differential, though.
Well, you're on top of it.
A couple field goals late in the game, yep.
Yeah, I think...
Yeah, like...
But saying like neither...
Neither offense, like, their defense,
as Jaguars D showed up.
Chief's defense definitely showed up.
Definitely showed up.
Chris Jones was wreaking havoc.
I think late in the third quarter,
he only had one sack.
He ended up with like maybe two,
maybe two and a half,
but he was getting pressures all fucking day.
He was getting pressures all day.
Yeah, their defense was looking nice.
Yeah.
And the chief's office line, man,
that poor kid, what's that kid?
His last name's Taylor,
that right tackle.
Was it?
Yeah, Jawan Taylor.
I feel bad for him right now
because all the stuff we saw
in that Thursday night football game
against the lines of him twitching
and moving and jumping off.
He had five penalties yesterday.
Five of them.
Yeah, I saw the fall start.
It's kind of like,
I mean, some of those were questionable
that Thursday night football game.
Yeah, and if I know you do it,
you were,
really good at doing it.
There's some of the guys
that way it was a Bach,
it's you.
Yeah.
Trent does that too.
Trent does good jogging up.
He was low key.
Damn near lined up
like as a wing on pun at times.
Yeah,
like you got to,
you got to know,
you just got to understand
that part of the game.
And I'm sure he'll figure it out
and your read will be up his ass
about it and all that.
But like,
also coaching staff,
like if this guy's giving up
pressures and sacks,
like give him some chips
and he doesn't,
if he hasn't had a lot of chips
before help him understand
that you don't have to rush out of there.
There's a whole bunch of shit
you can do to help him out.
Scroll back up.
And that's something you love to see, too, with your head coach.
Just want him to clear his head, like trying to get him out of his own head.
Because anytime you can get in the tank and have some penalties, you're like, God, I'm sure these fucking coaches.
Like, sometimes you're just like, they're just motherfucking me right now, yada, yada, yada.
Yeah, you just want out.
Nice when a coach is just trying to get you out of your own head.
Yeah, you just, and that's, I mean, I'm not worried about the chiefs.
I would have been if they lost it, Jacks.
Oh, the Hsie West is wide open, though.
It is.
The Wsie West is wide open for charges.
And like the Raiders are a good ball club.
you just, the worst thing to happen
to the Raiders is the bills
losing to the Jets without Aaron Rogers
and then playing the way they did on offense.
They started off scoring and it's like,
oh shit, the Raiders might be rolling out here.
Yeah, might be rolling out here.
And the Raiders are a good ball club.
They're a damn good ball club.
And they're going to be fighting for that one spot
with the AFC West.
I know.
They're at first, I do believe they're going to get second place.
Are the bills back on track?
Are the bills back on track?
Yeah, they're back in track.
Like Josh Allen, not the best game,
but he was,
He was efficient.
He handled himself.
Yeah, but it wasn't like, I believe either I said or Chet said it.
That Josh Allen is an MVP caliber guy.
Like first five weeks of the season, everyone's talking about how he's like the MVP guy.
It wasn't that, but he's a fucking stud.
31 for 37?
Yeah, stud.
274, three tuddies.
Bills might be back.
You know, I think in the AFC right now, it's, to me, it's bills or the dolphins.
They're in the same division.
What about the Ravens?
Ravens are 2-0, but I just don't know how the
AFC North is looking.
And Ravens had a sloppy week one win.
Like, I know they're 2-0, but I'm not like fully sold on the Ravens right now.
I don't feel like they're dominating.
Like, I don't know.
They beat the Bengals, but it's like, are the Bengals, you know,
are the Bengals not that great this year?
No, they're just having a rough start.
The Bengals, or I think Joe Burrow has started 0 in 2 in, like, his first two games,
like four of his five seasons started.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
this is nothing new for him.
Yeah, I'm not worried about the Bengals at all.
For whatever reason, they're going to be,
they're going to be doing them real soon.
I think a team that is...
We'll find out what the Browns, too, didn't I?
Yeah, I was just going to say,
I think the Browns are going to show us a lot today.
Yeah.
Who you got in that game?
Browns Steelers.
Browns.
See, I don't think the Steelers are that good, man.
I just find it so hard to think about,
like, the Steelers losing two games at home with Tomlin as their coach.
Fair.
But, yeah, I think I bet the Browns,
I might have done something differently on S&P, but I will know this next day.
Yeah.
Well, no, we'll be talking out of our ass.
But yeah, that's kind of how I feel about the AFC.
The NFC is what's the fucking, I think that's the conference right now.
I think that's where the ball's being played.
In the beginning of the year, what we're talking about, we're talking about, A,
NFC is essentially the Eagles and the 49ers, and that's it.
And the AFC is a blood bath.
But now we're saying something different.
Hey, you look at the, you look at the, you look at the NFC.
Beast. You look at the Cowboys, they're a fucking weapon. Washington, two and O. They're playing
nice. Eric Bianamy, we talked about him earlier. Eagles. That's not even mentioning the Eagles.
They're two and oh. And then you got the Giants who, yeah, absolutely abysmal. What did you say?
Six quarters, scoreless. Yeah, they went six quarters. Yeah, 60 to zero.
But you come out one to zero away and come back in that win. It might just be the spark that
they needed. But the NFC, you got that division. You got, you know, the Rams look tough. The Rams are a
tough team. I know they lost the Niners are
fucking awesome. Yeah, but the Niners
like 8-0 against Sean McVeigh.
Yeah, I mean, but the Niners are also just
the Niners. They're fucking nice. And I think the Niners
are early 10-point favorites against the
Giants. If Seekone doesn't play, I see that happening, but
if not, dude, it's like, they
showed, I mean, a 21-point comeback
in the second half all the way
across the country. Five-hour flight
going out west of Phoenix. Like, that is
wild to see. And then the Seahawks
beat a tough Lions team. And
And then it's like the NFC North.
I thought the Lions were going to win that one, no problem.
I don't know if they were going to win, like it said.
But I thought the Lions were going to win.
I thought their defense was too good.
I wasn't sold on Gino.
But Gino seemed like he had a good game.
He had some bad decisions.
You see him run backwards.
End up on like the two-yard line.
That was, you'll have to check out the highlight.
That shit was like, you know, hang on now, brother.
Did you watch your Sunday?
When Tua, the turf monster got him?
Yeah.
He just fucking rips that thing off to the sideline real hard.
That shit was wild.
But yeah, dude, NFC.
Seattle, I mean, NFC West, Seattle, Niners, Rams, good ball clubs.
Yeah, and Cardinals will be the fly that you just, it's going to be tough to kill every day.
Yeah.
You're going to have to show them and beat them.
Sometimes it'll land on your forehead in the middle of a podcast.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's going to do that.
But other times, you're going to get that motherfucker no problem.
Yeah, they're not like the Houston Texans or who else is a bad ball club right now.
Colts are a bad ball club?
They're not a bad ball club.
No, they're not.
Anthony Richardson's already concussion.
Anthony Richardson had a knee, week one, and a concurred.
Cushing Week 2.
Like, we see where this is going in this season.
They got, he's got to figure out a way to be a little more efficient throwing the
ball and also like stay healthy and slide.
Fair.
All I'm saying, he is, he is a ball player.
All I'm saying is the Cardinals might have a tough record this year, but they're going to be,
you're going to have to beat them every week.
Like, it's good, they're going to be tough to kill all season long.
Dobbs played well.
Dobbs played well.
Like, he actually played, like, very well.
Yeah, Dobbs is a good ball player.
When, no one, no one on this show has ever taken a shot at a dog.
He's not a good ball player.
No one's ever said that.
We have said,
we can advance playing has been tough,
but I think of anything,
we knew he would show up
at the drop of a hat at Arizona
and put together a nice outfit out there.
You're just not seeing them winning,
but you know he can step in.
There's no doubt about it.
And operate the offense.
We've always, always said that.
We have always, always said that.
One team that I am really excited for,
and I'm really happy about that they're two and no
is the Atlanta Falcons.
Yes.
I am fired up about that, dude.
Because I was scared.
That was a sell game.
on the S&P.
Like, I wanted to stay away from it because I didn't know how good Jordan Love was,
and I wasn't sure how good the Falcons were.
And it's like, first off, Jordan loves a stud.
He's a, he's a, he's a, he's a stud.
Yeah, that was that was not, that was not good.
That shit was not, though.
But Arthur Smith, 2 and O, NFC South.
Packers or the bucks.
Packers shit down their leg in that fourth quarter badly.
They play good, three quarters of ball.
Packers are tough.
It just plays into the NFC.
You got the Lions who are one of,
one, Vikings 0 and 2, but it's good when everybody in the division has lost.
Bears, they're absolutely fucking dead.
But the Packers are a tough team.
Like, they're a good team.
They just shit to bed in the fourth quarter.
But off of your, you know, the Falcons in the South, like, yeah, Falcons are a team to root for, man.
I know.
And it's like, I feel like they're going to take control of that.
It's crazy to me that the Bucks are 2 and O.
Yeah, I know.
You can't sleep on them.
They've covered both games.
You can't sleep on them boys.
Baker Doom.
Get your weight up.
Your weight up, boy.
I think he said a little boy.
I think he said, well.
I think he did say a little boy.
He did say a little boy, huh?
That's just crazy.
Like that, I do think the Falcons are going to win that thing.
That's a nice deal for Arthur Smith.
It'll be between them and the bucks.
And then you got, obviously, we don't know what's going to have between Carolina.
No, I think the Saints will be in there too.
Carolina could be.
No, I don't think Carolina's going to like in a couple of years.
As long as Bryce Young still develops, I think they'll be solid.
But like this year, I don't think so.
Who they got besides Brian Burns?
Carolina's in the boat with the Texans and, like...
You think so?
Bad ball.
No, I don't think it's not that.
I don't think it's...
I think the Texans are...
I like you having these takes, too, Mitch.
And their best receiver.
Is it DJ Shark?
He's questionable today.
Adam Thielen.
Oh, that's right, Thielen.
Yeah, I forgot.
I forgot the little...
First one and last one out.
Or good route runner, not very fast.
Yeah.
It's a smart run.
sneaky.
It's a smart run guy.
It's a smart route right there.
Yeah, it's a smart route.
Good IQ.
Yeah.
But, uh, NFC's tough.
NFC is tough.
It'll be fun.
You know your top three NFC teams.
No particular order.
Top three NFC teams.
No, okay.
Thank God you said no particular order.
Top three NFC teams besides the Niners and the Eagles.
Besides.
Okay.
Because they're obviously the top three teams.
Are they?
The Niners and the Eagles are one.
Niners are one.
Eagles up in the air.
Dude, the fucking Cowboys.
That's what I'm saying.
But like going into this year, everyone was talking about Niners.
Eagles. They're still, they're both
2 and O. They're both 2 and O. And they beat a good O and 2
Minnesota Vikings team. I will say.
I'll say the top three teams. If they were, if there were
power rankings right now. No particular order.
I would say the Niners. It just said no Niners or Eagles.
The Cowboys. Okay.
Commanders. They're 2.0.
So take out the Niners because I said no Niners or Eagles.
All right. You want to do that. No Niners, no Eagles. You got Cowboys.
I think you got commanders. And then you go
you either go Falcons
You go Falcons
Or I don't know
I think the Rams are tough
Now I honestly
Hand up
I didn't get to watch that game yesterday
The Troy
I should have won that
Aided Hutchins
Had a bad no
No call against him
A bad no call against him
That would have
But honestly
Overall you're looking at Niners Eagles
In the Cowboys
Yeah I think those are
Obviously your top three teams
For sure
Cowboys have blown me the fuck away
I
I've been able to watch those two games.
Michael Parsons is a fucking problem.
Michael Parsons is a more athletic JJ Watt.
Like, it is incredible to see him off the ball, on the ball,
every gap, move around, doing twists, doing stunts,
bull rushes, inside moves, spins.
It's just the dude can really fucking do it all.
Yeah.
It is, he is, he's a savage.
It's incredible to see.
He might be on,
his way to, like, this
we're so far down the road, but you see what he's playing
right now, he stays healthy and keeps doing what he's doing, like
we're talking about
Lauren Taylor's type stuff.
Would, uh, that's fair?
Would he get a sack on you?
Would he get a sack on me?
I mean, no.
Take a fucking shot, dude?
Did you ever go against him?
No, I never went against him, but you watched the way he plays, and it's like,
he, his greatest attribute to me
against the tackle is understanding
like the tackle's body language.
tackle oversetting, turning his shoulders,
being too far on his outside leg or inside leg,
like single punching or double punching or no punching.
Like he just, he brought, his, his computer processes the game
so quickly with tackles for,
and literally like, like, um, he, he reminds me of, uh,
Von Miller the way like he doesn't seem like the most powerful guy in the world,
but because he's so fast and so fast and,
so elusive, you keep tackles on your heels,
he's mowing dudes over.
Like, I don't know if his bench or squad or anything like that.
It's not, it's not going to be like,
you know, Callais Campbell or
whoever that.
Will Compton. On the edge, but like,
as far as like power goes, but like,
that's a dude that he is so, he can manipulate you so much
with this body movement that he's going to put you on your back
multiple times because of it.
It seems like he has a full toolbox, too.
Like he can do it all. And he just knows,
like you said, the computer processing,
the instinct, he knows
how to counter. His feel is just, it seems, from my perspective,
it's a great word. So fucking good. Even if he gets a, even if he's slower off the line
of scrimmage, like he just, he's got it. He's got that. He's got it. But to go back to your
question, Mitch, that's truly a game of chess where you'd have to switch up a whole bunch
of sets, change your angles a whole bunch and like hopefully you're seeing a step above him.
Because when you do a whole bunch of changeups, like I just said, like you can just be one
step behind. It's a long fucking day.
Or you start, like, you get a couple
quick wins early in the game and you start to realize,
okay, I can, this is where his weaknesses are.
And it's all about really playing
that game of chess. That's the best, that is
the best part about football. The fact
that, like, not only are there 22
guys in the field at all times, but
like all, all these individuals
are playing as one and playing a game
within the game of you playing
against somebody else. I'm also trying to do my job,
but I'm playing you in a way where
it's like, I got to figure out how you're playing
and use my strengths against whatever your fastball is.
And then switch it up enough where I got you on your toes now.
You're thinking like this,
I don't know how this guy's going to set me.
I don't know how he's going to use his punches.
I don't know.
Is he going to stay inside?
He's going to go outside.
And then you manipulate him.
Like you overset a little bit and let him go inside.
You can run him into the guard because you know you have the slide up with you.
And that's like the fun.
That is the fun part about football.
Oh, yeah.
When you're in flow state like that and you're just like,
I can literally do whatever I want to this guy right now
because I'm in his head two quarters in this game.
He's got the yips.
He's got the yips.
That is the best feeling, dude.
I feel like that's what happens in your position as a pass rusher and a tackle and a corner and a receiver.
Those kind of games happen.
It doesn't, like, you're saying that stuff, there was never necessarily, like, one-on-one stuff you're thinking, like, as a linebacker off the ball, or I'm sure with the safety because you're not in, like, those real one-on-one were fucking six inches apart from each other.
like having to play the game within the game
like outside of schematics
like guy versus guy
yeah that was cool to hear you play j j watt
and you're on the backside of a play
you know that he's going to step
inside and go outside
and then try to bank around the corner
eight times out of ten
so you influence him by going super hard
but like pivoting while you do it
and then you can wall him off now that
now that B gap's massive
and then and then you do it
and then you think to yourself
he's going to step inside
real hard and then he's going to go outside.
I'm going to step in hard with him.
No one's going to go outside and go with him.
And it just perfectly happens,
a play where you don't block him the way
necessarily you're supposed to block that play
because you played that player that way
and makes the hole so big
and we just hit a 40-yard bomb because of that
and you literally think to yourself, dude,
I am, I'm on a different level
than everybody else right now.
And it's just for one play.
Like the next play you might get beaten,
you might think, oh, I'm fucking terrible.
And then you're playing that game.
But like, for that one play, that feeling,
it literally, the only way I can explain
is like when you put on a pair of Georgia boots, dude.
When you put on a pair of Georgia boots that are designed
for the longest shift and the toughest jobs
like playing off its line in the NFL,
Georgia Boots. Georgia delivers boots
that are as comfortable as they are tough boots
that you can wear from work to the bar,
blue-collar comfort right out of the box.

fixing that shelf in your closet or grilling out back,
these Georgia's are the best boot for the job.
Georgia boots are designed for rugged,
demanding work environments that are built to,
Last, making them ideal for workers in various industries.

Do us a favor.
Do me a massive favor after I tell you this.

That's BUSSI and you're going to put 20% off on that bad boy on your purchase.
So do that.
Georgia Boot.com.
Use code Bustin BUSSSI in and you're going to get 20% off.
Do that.
Do that.
but yeah there's nothing fucking better than like
just having someone's number in the game
year 10 what you're talking right there
you got me a little excited it fires you up
you did bring up a good point about the turf
people are fucking mad about the turf which is so wild
because Aaron Rogers gets hurt week one
and then the Titans little go from grass to turf this year
and I was on the up of an adams show and she asked me about it
and David Bakhtiar is a guy that has been so
pioneering vocal about that
there's a stat like $12 million is all it will take to go
from take all the turf fields in the national football league to grass.
Divide that by 12 or 32.
Those 32 owners.
I don't know.
I'm not a math guy.
I did do some pretty good math before the show.
But that doesn't seem very expensive for these billionaires back and forth.
And it'll be interesting to see how it all develops.
Once we get into like that March time when they have like the owners meetings and all that,
everyone's sipping their mimoses and having a great time.
And they also do a little bit of work while they're there.
Changing the next kickoff rule.
It'd be interesting if they go talk about the turf and the grass fields.
Yeah, it's every player, I don't know of any players that would like the turf more than the grass outside of feeling faster on turf.
Yeah.
Which, if you're a young skill player, you're a young guy, like, you're not feeling any of the wear and tear yet on what turf can be like.
I know when you get older, five, six, however many years you get into the, you get going.
Like, you start feeling it even on practice.
Like, it might be, the weather might be bad outside, but there's even a part of you that'd be like, yeah, let's just go playing the shitty weather on grass outside.
versus being on the indoor inside.
I think the whole thing is like,
we need to stay outside as much as possible.
Yeah, but I'm saying as a young guy,
sometimes you're like, oh, let's just go to the indoor.
Like, you know, we're inside.
It's not as hot out there.
Like, there's no humidity.
We go inside.
It's going to feel a lot better.
But dude, as you get older, like the turf field,
the turf grass thing matters.
And I would almost just rather the owners be like,
hey, we're trying to cut this bottom line.
Like, y'all are going to play on turf.
And y'all are going to like playing on turf.
I would almost just rather than tall.
to the boys like that,
then just be like,
oh, we don't really have the data
to back it up.
The data, the sample sizes,
all the players are saying,
yeah, like,
you know,
we would much rather play on grass.
So it's like,
you would just say,
we're just,
you know,
we're trying to be capitalists here
and have some,
you know,
help out with that bottom line.
You got to hire grounds crew.
You got to pay them.
They got to do a whole bunch of stuff.
Water costs.
They have all of the,
the machinery to cut
and do all the grass and all that.
It makes it way easier
to just have turf
from a business standpoint.
Yeah.
And it is wild.
Like,
it's so funny how we play this game of like,
we're looking out for players.
And it's like, well,
if you just looked at the stats
of how many non-contact injuries happen on turf
as opposed to grass.
And I don't even know what that stat is.
If you just look at that stat,
it's going to tell you what the answer is.
It's the proofs and the numbers.
If it's the same,
then as an owner,
you have that to stand on.
And if it's not,
if there's a big differential of like 10%,
15%,
it's like it's pretty obvious you just need to do that because
I do think the owners that there is some date out there that plays for that gray
area a little bit on yeah it's not that lopsided um I just think if the players are that
vocal about it but how many vocal like like as an owner comes in they will
completely put a grass field they'll completely put on a grass field for the soccer teams that
come in even if it's a turf field what's up they are doing yeah
For their investment that's on the field.
Right, because you think of the bottom line,
like hiring that grounds crew, grass, water, machinery, all that stuff,
then you're keeping your top product on the field.
Let's just assume Aaron Rogers doesn't tears Achilles.
Now the jets are a completely different ball team.
You know, we're talking about them being in the AFC.
The AFC is still that stronghold division where you're like,
holy fuck, they're going to be them.
You know, it could be a totally different game that way.
because it's yeah
again I would almost just rather
just hear the owners be like you
fucking this capitalism voice
like what you're talking about yeah
you guys signed up for this
yeah yeah shut up and play yeah
shut up and play
yeah yeah yeah shut up and dribble
yeah yeah shut up and dribble
shut up and play boys like
because what's gonna happen right
like if you go all the way down the rabbit hole
it's like what do the players do
like not play on turf
nobody's gonna not do that
then you're getting into the
you're getting into taking away people's paychecks
and then it turns into like
what do we are what are we if it's not gonna happen
what are we mad about
Right.
We just go play the ball and know she signed up for a ball or a ball.
If the common ground is we want the healthiest environment for our players, our best players,
let's find the common ground here and our players want grass.
Our players want grass.
Make every field of grass field.
If that is the common goal that we all want to aspire to get at, don't play the fucking.
Yeah.
We got data here.
We got, you know, everybody's saying, yeah, we want grass.
Just say, hey, boys, this is way cheaper.
Shut up.
Do or do not.
There is no try.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just get, just fucking do it.
Should we move into some college?
I know the boys were going to be at South Bend this weekend.
South Bend where the Irish is going to upset the Buckeyes.
I'm praying.
Dude, it's going to be a fun game.
The Irish looks like a fucking good Notre Dame football team,
not like they do have a great schedule
to put them in the college football playoff conversation every year.
But usually it's like they don't necessarily treat the bad teams like bad teams.
Those are always close games or they have a close loss or something like that
that allows them to say, oh, we only have this type of loss schedule.
No.
have a tough schedule this year. Not only that, but they're, they're a fucking good team.
The quarterback's rolling, what is the Hartman? He's rolling and the Buckeyes, they're on paper,
extremely talented. But they're not fucking, it's like Notre Dame treats bad teams like
bad teams. Ohio State's not doing that. Well, that's not necessarily true. You don't think so?
No, they had a tough start just like Michigan did this past weekend versus Western Kentucky
where it's like, oh man, unless Kentucky, maybe going to upset them? And then they ended up putting up 61 points.
To about Bowling Green? Yeah, Bowling Green for Michigan, but Western Kentucky versus
Ohio State. It was like 10-3.
It was like, it was something like really close.
Like Kentucky was low-key about to score and tie it up 10-10.
It was like maybe like 10-3 with eight minutes left in the second half or the first half.
And then by the time the second half was over or the first half was over, it was Ohio State was up like 40.
Yeah.
That's Maryland.
But there was a, I think it was like 61.
They ended up putting up 61 points essentially covering.
And if the big argument is like good teams cover like they did.
Douchet.
That's a good ball club.
And they just do that, 35 points.
But that is what Ohio State can do.
Ryan Day, his squad, they have so much talent on the edges where it's like,
this is going to be a great test for Notre Dame and see what, to see what they can do.
It's going to be a good test for both.
This is their biggest test, right?
Yeah.
I mean, Ohio State, they got a new quarterback, Kyle McCord.
I mean, you have CJ Stroud as you're starting quarterback for two years.
There's definitely going to be a bit of a drop-off.
So I think once McCord kind of like
Identity gets going
It gets in a rhythm
I mean the skill positions that Ohio State has
Unmatched I mean Marvin Harrison
He is so good dude Marvin Harrison
This game is going to help us start to
Decide and separate
Who's really going to be in this college football
Playoff conversation
Yeah these are two
These are two big time contenders going at it
And one might fall away
Like I see Notre Dame schedule Jackie
Because
let's say Notre Dame loses.
Does Notre Dame have the power
in their
in their games to get back?
I mean, they play USC.
They do too.
They got, yeah, USC will be in the picture.
I'm telling you, USC is fucking nice.
Yeah, Caleb Williams is, is it Caleb Williams?
Yeah.
Duke is surprising everybody?
Yeah, Duke.
Yeah, so let's say they drop it to Ohio State.
They beat Duke,
beat USC,
and those are the only other two games.
They'll be a one lost under Dame team.
Yeah, well, one last under Dame team.
Yeah.
One lost Notre Dame team could absolutely find themselves in the cultural playoffs.
And here's where I think the small little secret sauces for Notre Dame,
let's say they drop against Ohio State, no conference championship.
So there might be...
What are we looking at?
Go ahead. Keep going.
Oh, there might be a situation where, let's say USC.
Well, they'll beat USC.
If they beat USC, let's say Ohio State's in it.
And they end up playing in the Big Ten championship.
But then they lose to, I don't know,
who, let's say Nebraska comes out of the Big Ten West, right?
They lose to Nebraska.
Nebraska's Big Ten champions.
Ohio State now drops out of the college football playoffs,
and because Notre Dame,
who went undefeated after losing to Ohio State,
they might seek themselves back in
because there is no conference championship game.
I know he just landed on my hands too, dude.
I was thinking about getting after him, too.
Really?
Yeah, you were in a middle of...
There he is. Get him.
I think you might be...
I don't know if you saw this earlier,
just on the note of college football.
Travis Hunter is out for three weeks.
Travis Hunter's out for three weeks?
Yeah, what a...
shot by that, yeah.
He's announced Casey Thompson towards ACL
done for the season.
That's the kid that was in Nebraska last year.
And where was he at now?
Florida Atlantic.
Oh.
Travis Hunter's gonna miss USC.
That is fucking tough for Colorado
and that sucks.
That cheap ass hit. I know. That was so bullshit.
People were calling for him to be
like banned from college football.
Oh, that's far.
Which is way too much.
Yeah, but he needs to be suspended for multiple games.
multiple games.
You think so? Multiple?
Dude, that was the, like,
that was such an egregious
over-the-top hit on their obvious
best player.
Like, Colorado might run away with that thing
if he's still playing.
They stand up still winning the game.
I don't think they're winning by 20,
dude, Colorado State was fucking playing,
bro.
And I don't think that,
I don't think Colorado wins by 23 and a half points,
but maybe it's a 10-point game.
Maybe they went by 10.
I did lose this bet.
I know I would have won, too,
had we, I got that in before we hit the border.
Yeah, that's fucking.
That sucks.
I hate that.
Like he's a,
Travis Hunter is a fucking stud.
That was a dirty hit.
He should have been kicked out of the game.
Also maybe,
maybe a game suspension.
But here's what I loved about it.
The rivalry,
that was everything you wanted in a rivalry game.
Yeah.
I'm talking headlines.
Taking out Travis Hunter being out,
like our hearts go out to him.
Yeah.
Well, for sure.
Yeah, that sucks.
I hate that for him.
But as far as like that,
rivalry. That was fucking, that game was everything you wanted and more. The headlines all week
long. Colorado State went into Boulder against not only the Buffalo, Dion Sanders, the Rock,
Pat McAfee, Lil Wayne, Offset, College Game Day, absolutely everybody. Coach talked about Deion
the day it's like, oh, it became personal. That, all the headlines that came out of that,
the shit talking, everyone was tuned in for that 10 p.m. Eastern game for Colorado,
of Colorado State, and Colorado State came out fucking swinging.
And not only swinging, but you can tell there's just bad blood.
Bad blood in that game.
They might have stormed the field, but you know there's a lot of Colorado State fans storm
in the field ready to probably just fight Colorado fans.
Like, I loved everything about that game.
Sucks the Chief Shot.
Sucks the Chief Shot.
Hate that Travis Sunderers out, but including that Chief Shot because that is a rivalry game
at its finest, bro.
And what makes that this piece of the rivalry game so beautiful is this number of
11 scumbag kid.
He takes that big hit on Travis Hunter.
Late in the game,
he's the one that got burnt as they get the touchdown to go into overtime, right?
It was overtime.
Like, that is like karma.
That is college football.
That is rivalries, everything.
Here's what I didn't like about Colorado, the way they reacted to this.
How come the quarterback is the only one getting in that kid's face?
Where's the office line situation?
That happens in the game.
Boys, we've got to clear the benches.
That would have been awesome to see.
I love Shudurgy.
You need 5, 6, 7, 8 guys.
You need 48, no helmet on getting over there.
Getting that guy's face.
Getting that, who is the linebacker for Houston on steroids?
Houston Texans.
Brian Cushing.
Going up to that Cleveland Brown's office line,
and he smacks him in the head.
His face is pouring blood.
That's what I needed from 48 on the sideline.
I know.
And the way, yeah, I'm with you.
That is the stuff.
And then also the fucking handshake at the end of the game,
very anti-climatic.
I watched the whole game.
It's okay.
I thought that was good.
Yeah, it's okay because.
Colorado State played so well against the team that they were literally 23.5.
point underdogs against.
But if Dion wins that game covers 23.5,
Dian got to, he got to walk his eight toes out there and be like,
what the fuck do you say?
Well, he was saying like he was going to take his head off, glasses off,
and shake his hand like a man type of thing and play into what coach,
is it Norval?
Norville, Coach Norvelle, what he was talking about,
when he got everything going and made it personal.
but the handshake after like, dude, that was a fucking fight for both teams.
I loved it.
And to your point, like on the sideline, you had number 11 hits.
It's like Colorado, standing right there on the sideline, the white boy comes over and hits your boy,
you got to be taking his ass out.
And all five offensive linemen should have been running there, getting that dude's face.
Because there's a level of you can show the team, we got your fucking back,
even though Travis Hunter's not going to realize still after he's in the hospital or wherever he went after.
because he's, like, laying in the ground, obviously, in pain.
But you fucking go over there and be, like, in that dude's face,
stay whatever.
You can just yell.
You literally just yell.
But you're showing that body language of, like, we're not fucking taking that.
Like, this is a different Buffalo team.
Like, we are the, we are fucking dogs like that.
That's that.
You need that from your offense alignment.
You need all five of those dudes to sprint at number 11.
Like, you, that motherfucker's, Richard Sherman, Marcus Mariotta.
That's the, that's the fucking move.
I'll call it.
I'll call it there for you, big dog.
It's a little different because it's a little different because it's.
It's a quarterback getting hit and that's a receiver.
But like...
Same thing.
It's same thing.
If you're an offense alignment and you have the opportunity and you have the grace of starting
in college football and one of your skill players gets hit and hurt like that in a egregious way,
it is absolutely your responsibility to go over there and talk some massive shit.
Now, do it in a way where maybe you don't get a penalty.
But if all five of you, fucking locking that dude up in a cage where he can't really get out
and you're fucking talking shit getting on them where the refs have to come and pull you guys off,
but you're not shoving and pushing so there's still no flags.
You're playing smart ball.
That's what you need from your offense alignment.
That's the thing I did not like about that play,
where I would be in that team meeting room the next day being like,
you guys fucking see this?
Like how come our quarterback's the only one going up in this guy's face?
It should be all fucking 105 of us out there on the field where they got to separate us.
They got to put up, they got to do, take three hours to clean up this mess.
The students actually coming down, which I want to hand up the students actually real quick
before we hit this ad.
We put Duke Canaan.
Colorado.
storming the field against Nebraska.
Colorado storms the field against Colorado State.
I don't love it, but this is a cool opportunity for Colorado to start a new, like,
tradition of every home dumb storm the field.
I'm with that.
I thought you were going to be like, what are we doing?
No, no, no.
I don't love it because it's like, no disrespect.
Nebraska, right?
They haven't made a bull game in a long time.
Colorado State, obviously not a good ball club.
Like, both teams are not good ball clubs.
and you storm the field, but now it's like storm the field every time.
I like this win, smallest win, storm the field every time because now that's fun.
I like the example of it.
It's not, it doesn't matter who the other fucking team is.
It's about them in Colorado and what they're going one in 11 last year and what they got brewing right now in Colorado.
And yeah, I like the storm in the field.
I know people, that's, that's great.
That's not that I don't disagree with that, but I think it's like internally what Colorado's got going on right now.
I love that they storm the field.
I just, I love that game.
I loved Colorado State.
I love that they were up 14-7.
That hit happens in the first quarter.
Like, though, I know that they were the bad guy in the movie,
but you had to be the fucking bad guy with everything going down.
And I love, I love the game, man.
I love the game.
It reminds me should be a trophy game.
Ooh.
Should be a trophy game.
It should be a trophy game, dude.
And speaking of trophy games,
you want to smell like a trophy game?
You want to smell like a winner, dude?
The new dude can't have said,
trophy game was created with the support from

Smells like the Big Ten West.
He is going to get punished in two weeks by the Michigan Wolverines.
Shout out the boys.
Shout out in the brass cornersters being one and two.
It's great.
You guys got yourself a dub.
Halfway there.
You guys are going to get one more of those in the year.
But this, hey, I'm telling you, Michigan's got bigger fish to fry.
We've got a national championship to win.
We're fucking, you guys are just in the way.
Y'all need to focus on Rutgers.
You guys are just in the way.
I'm just saying, I'm just telling you.
Y'all got to focus on.
What happened to us was having a bad game
against Bowling Green.
Dude.
And we still scored 42 points.
Nebraska is in the hunt for the West.
Just remember that.
Oh, shit, my bad.
Nebraska's in the hunt for the West.
Just know that.
And they got a good ball club.
I'm curious to see who they're going to start a quarterback
once Jeff gets healthy because Harburg,
he was operating well, running well,
not turning the ball over,
which was the biggest thing you needed to get corrected
going into this past week against NIU.
But I thought all phases they play well.
Run game, defense, just operation, all of it.
Bradford's in the Hunter in the last place.
Hey, you know what I mean.
Like, I get it.
I was 3-0.
But they're not a fucking tough 3-0 team.
I was not that tough.
Minnesota's 2-1.
It's like these aren't like teams.
It's not like we have Michigan, Ohio State,
or Penn State,
on our side.
You know what I'm saying?
You have a damn good 8 and 4 in the last
8 years Minnesota gopher team
that is going to take away that.
All I'm saying is like we got a shot for the West
after the product we put on the field over the week.
You guys are in a three-way tie with Illinois,
Northwestern, and yourselves for the last place
in the Big Ten West.
I think everybody knows outside of South Carolina
we are the toughest looking one-win team in the country.
It's good to give South Carolina those flowers
because they played a damn good football game.
They did.
That was fun, by the way.
Georgia was a fucking great time.
Yeah, it's probably best we don't talk about
the Boston Bowl too much.
A couple of reasons.
One, we don't want to get too hot.
We got a big weekend coming up with Gilly,
Notre Dame, Ohio State.
And y'all know how I feel about Nebraska,
so I don't want to get long-winded again on that.
Because it is very long-witted at this point.
And I think that, I mean,
we're going to have a bus divided in a week.
In a week, it's, we're not friends.
Yeah, I'm focused on us.
Listen, yeah, you guys will do you.
You guys are a good team.
but it's about us. It's about Nebraska.
It's not going to be some fucking hatred-fueled thing.
Like, we're coming in there to win.
Like we always do. You guys are too.
You guys are a tough team.
You've been making it personal for 365.
I think we've been watching.
We've been looking at all the newspaper clippings
of what Will Compton said about how great Nebraska is going to be
throwing a couple of subtle shots.
Michigan sees that. That's a smart school.
There's some smart students there.
They see the shuttle shots that Will Compton's made.
And I'm just keeping them honest.
Next week.
next week, it'll be personal.
Next week it'll be personal.
You were saying some shit in that car that did not resonate well with me.
What?
Did you guys have to fight for your life that first half against Bowling Green?
I don't think you remember what you had to say, brother.
You're not...
I know this.
I talk from the standpoint of Nebraska.
No, you don't.
You're about to get me going again.
No.
Brother, we know.
We know how you feel about Nebraska.
You're truly their number one fan.
I love that for you.
But it's going down in a week.
Georgia.
Georgia.
facility-wise, some of the best.
I think that they fall.
I don't know if they beat out Texas facilities.
Well, we have LSU at one.
Do we?
Yeah.
We had LSU at one and Texas at two.
And I think LSU took the Cape because of the locker room.
Yeah, fair.
It was really close.
And we just gave the edge to LSU over Texas.
You going to work every day and you're on the floor
where you've got the meeting rooms and everything else?
I think that floor, Texas has got that floor.
That's a tough, that's a tough floor to be.
That burnt orange and white.
Yes, bro.
I think that does such a good job.
So hard, dude.
LSU does a great job with the hallways.
Same with Texas.
LSU, as far as weight room goes, I like Georgia over LSU.
I like Georgia over Texas.
I like Georgia over Michigan.
Yeah, I mean, I would go weight room wise.
I would put Michigan at one.
I put Georgia at two.
and then Texas and Alice you.
I can't really remember their weight rooms,
but I don't remember being overly
I don't know if you got to go.
By either of those weight rooms.
Yeah.
Like, it's close between Michigan and Georgia,
both big weight rooms,
both very well put together weight rooms.
The floor plan's incredible.
Yeah.
I think Georgia's is so sick
because, man, black and red,
that color combination just is so,
it goes so hard.
And it's gone.
It just has stood the test of time.
Like, anytime you create a player
at NCAA,
14. What colors you're going with? You usually going with
a black and red, unless you're doing like your own school or
whatever. Like, you usually go black and red.
And it's just badass. And I think
LSU does a phenomenal job of
implementing that purple and gold.
I just think, like, Michigan using
Oosterbahn and that, when I was
there, that was all an indoor facility. It was all
an indoor practice field.
But now it's like double stories, loft
basketball court, the whole thing.
I'm going to give Michigan the edge
on that one. But everywhere else, everywhere
else, I think Georgia won.
Underwhelming loudness, they're on game day.
Yes.
But is that you and me having the highest of expectations
because everyone spouts off about SEC football?
Or is that truly because they weren't that loud?
Here's what I'll say.
I love it.
You did what last year?
You went to.
Didn't you say you like South Carolina's environment?
South Carolina was louder.
Louder?
Yeah.
So you got to taste that one.
You also, obviously, you're used to Michigan.
I'm excited for you to go back to Nebraska.
But when we go out to Tennessee, too,
like once you hear a couple of these,
they just, you just know.
And you're kind of just underwhelmed by the Georgia,
the Georgia stadium, I guess.
It's kind of built more of a little bit more of a bowl shape.
Similar like a Michigan.
Similar like a Notre Dame,
because we'll be out of Notre Dame.
I'm hoping that one's like rocking, maybe louder.
But it wasn't,
Notre Dame wasn't the loudest last year against Clemson 2
when we stormed the field.
It was one of those deals too.
I think Georgia's stadium has the perfect blend of college in NFL.
And you actually brought that point up,
but I wanted to bring that home is like,
the stadium itself looks really.
really, really like, it has an NFL vibe,
but then there's so many small nuances
that are college. Obviously, the hedges.
So historical. You walk around the gate
dude, and that big, that big G
is like kind of just implemented and put
in certain spots. And then they have the guy up
on the top of the, you know,
the stands, playing a
solo trumpet little
whatever the fuck it is.
It's just, it's really, it's really nice.
I'll tell you where Georgia lost me a little
bit is their pregame.
They didn't land it.
They did not land the pregame.
They had a hype video with no music.
The smoke is cool.
The smoke is cool when they're walking out.
And there's some big boys now.
It has a good high school feel of them.
And then going through a banner and all that,
that was really cool.
But I expected so much from a, you know,
two-time national championship team.
I'll say this about their fan base.
It's very similar to those well-kept hedges.
Very similar to those well-kept hedges.
Feels a little hoity-to-to-y out there in Georgia.
It was a little hoity-toity.
A little hoity-toity and a little front-runnery.
It wasn't even close to Tennessee.
I'm just comparing...
I can't wait to be in the SEC,
and I didn't get to go to South Carolina,
but you guys, obviously that place was probably fucking rocking,
knowing that they were at night game against Tennessee last year,
but it wasn't close to what we've seen.
They just announced South Carolina, Tennessee,
night game again two weeks,
Bust and Bulls, we obviously won't be there.
Yeah.
We'll be electric.
Oh, they'll be electric.
Is Bustin' Bold Night Game?
Yeah, it's the 30th.
But it's TBD on time right now.
Yeah, I would assume it would probably be
it would be a night game.
You'd assume it's the biggest trophy game, biggest robbery week
in color sports.
I hope it's noon.
Really?
An early game.
Yeah.
Get rocking, you know what I mean?
Just get an early game.
Get on, get off, get out.
I'm pro early game, dude.
I love early games.
Yeah, but you can't sleep on the fucking lights
hitting the helmet and grabbing an extra shine to the helmet.
It's, oh, oh, oh, oh.
And it's dark outside.
You can't beat the environment of a night game.
But I'm with you.
I love New York.
You were at Michigan, Nebraska, the night game a couple years ago, right, Jack?
Yeah.
I mean, the problem with the night game outside of like, you know,
a boy gets a little sleepy throughout the day.
I get a little tired.
Your boy struggles to make it in that second half.
I got to get off the old feet, man.
Or I got to wear some Georgia boots.
I think, Nebraska's sake, too, if it's a noon game,
that's a better situation for you all in Lincoln.
Yeah.
You got to get the fight started early.
You got to get the fight starter.
I hope it's a noon game.
Obviously, the pandemonium of a night game would be sick
because they got the fourth quarter of the lights
and everything else.
But I am excited for that game.
I just hope we, you know, we beat,
obviously we should beat the shit out of Lotech.
You hope that that's how it goes down.
Similar to this past week.
What was it?
42 to 10, 3510, some shit like that.
It's like 353 until they scored late.
I'm excited to head out there because I haven't been out there yet.
Dude, you'll love Lincoln, man.
You can fucking rip.
Dude, it does.
Everybody out there, they're just, it's red, it's red, 365 out there.
Obviously, you're going to feel the game day atmosphere just getting off the plane and seeing everything.
But people just love, it's the only thing out there, man.
That's why I got them.
Good people, too.
Good people, bro.
And you know what else you can do in Lincoln on Friday night?
Yes, our tickets on sale for our bus and live show.
Tickets are on sale.
We're going to be at the, what, the bourbon?
Bourbon theater.
Tickets are on sale right now.
they are, I think we got a text earlier.
They're almost sold out.
If you're listening right now, go buy those tickets.
The boys will be there performing podcast, live podcast, Friday night at the Bourbon
theater in Lincoln, Nebraska, right before the Michigan game, right before the boys go
at it on Saturday for the Bustin Bowl.
But tickets are on sale.
That's going to be a hell of a game.
Maybe a special guest.
Maybe a special guest.
We're kind of going back and forth on a couple things, a couple ideas.
You never know.
Yes, you never know.
But that place is going to be rocking, berries.
obviously heads up, boys.
That's what we might be.
That's where we might be,
probably be after the bourbon theater.
But I'm excited for no past.
Yeah, if you enjoy this podcast,
you're going to enjoy the show.
Because we're going to, a lot of interactive stuff too.
If you're coming to the show and you're listening to me now,
be ready with a shout or no for shout out.
Be ready with,
you know,
pet peeve of the week.
Be ready with, you know,
just all of our segments,
a twisted question that you might receive.
Jackie, he's been in the back a few times during our live.
shows asking some
some would you rather is that will
shake your soul a little bit so
it's going to be a fun time man do you have a twisted
question for us this week Mitch
do you want to talk about twisted tea
real quick dude by the Twisted tea
the go-to drink for game day
brought to you by Twisted tea the smoothest
hard iced tea out there the boys were out in Georgia
at the Silver Dollar wheeling and
deal in coozy's twisted teas everywhere
putting these things out there keep it twisted with
twisted tea grab a refreshing
Twisted Tea today. They're available absolutely everywhere. And I am telling you, I was taking
other drinks out of the boys' hands and putting Twisted T's in there. And I'm like, hey, I'm telling
you, if you're somebody who likes it a little lighter, they got Twisted Tea lights. They got half
and a half. They got peach flavors, raspberry flavor, the full on Twisted Tea, the original.
They are awesome. Five percent ABV. Knock your socks off. Get Twisted Tea. Party with the boys. Be a couple
of Twisted Kings and Queens with us. God, that's outstanding. You were in flow state right there.
Thank you. I was fired up. It's good when you love the fucking problem.
That is an easy product to sell.
That's an easy product to sell.
Go ahead, Mitchell.
All right.
Our twisted question of the week,
would you rather create history or delete history?
Create.
Create.
That's simple, brother.
I mean, delete history, like, Holocaust, deleted.
Yeah, that's gone.
Yeah, slavery, gone.
You know, like, you do a whole lot of good there,
but if you can create history, like back to the,
the future type stuff or butterfly effect
of stuff, there's a whole bunch of different
variables you can go on, but
I think the opportunity to be like...
Hot tub time machine?
Hot tub time. Yeah, exactly.
But like hot to the time machine, you go back in time.
One, two things change. You go back and see how much
it's manipulated the new world you live in.
But if I'm able just to sit here and be like
Titans are going to win
against the Browns by seven
this week and then I'm going to bet everything
on it. Selfishly.
There's no world war.
All right, I got a new one.
Okay, go ahead.
would you rather drink all of the half-finished drinks in a bar at the end of the night
or eat all the half-finished food at the end of the night?
Eat all the half-finished food.
You want to eat other people's food or finish their drinks when they didn't finish them?
Eat the other people's food.
Yep.
I think that's an easy one too.
Especially at the end of night, you're hungry, especially you're feeling nice and loopy.
You got your food.
Let's say you see like a platter of wings, someone left half-finished?
crushing the rest.
That's going to be good.
And I'm finishing off the meat they didn't eat.
Yeah, but think of-
you probably ain't eating them wings right.
And also, think about the end of the night, it's 2.30.
People are cleaning up and there's a bunch of half-drinking drinks.
You're going to have to drink all those drinks.
A lot of sugar, a lot of alcohol.
You're going to get the fucking spins, brother.
You're going to get the spins and you're going to throw up big time.
That's a hell of the food.
That's a hell over, brother.
That's a non-component.
I'm going to eat an ice cream, whatever the fuck it is.
Yeah, no, no, I'm just saying all the sugar in the drinks.
Like you have like a B-wall shot or a pink panty dropper.
and there's a whole bunch of those things in these little drinks
and you're mixing a whole bunch of alcohols.
It's fucking tough.
That's okay.
Tough showing for the twisted questions this week.
That's okay.
We can literally clip it, twist the question this week.
Create history, delete history.
We say create, create, and you're like, all right, that was a bad one.
That's the clip.
Then we get to be like, hey, the greatest twisted question of all the time came to us this week with Mitch.
I'll be better next week.
Should we do shout-out, no-free shout-out?
Yeah, let's do shout-out, no-free shout-out.
I'm jumping on this one early.
because the weather, the weather, the weather, I sound like Frank the tank.
The weather started, has started to break.
It was in the, felt like low 60s this morning, maybe the 50s.
And it was chilly going to the way of room early in the morning, flexing a little bit.
Yes, I'm up there before the sun comes out.
Your water being cold that you left in the car, I had a half bottle, a big one of body armor,
reached over and grabbed it, closed my eyes, like, I hope it's cold, I hope it was cold.
Right when I put my paw on it.
you felt the chilliness.
You're like, yo, it's go time.
We're in full swing, cold waters, leaving them in the car.
I know we've said that in the past.
However, you've got to bring it back around
because you know there are hundreds and thousands of people watching this pod now
that weren't before.
But shout out, no free shout out to leaving your water in the car
because you know it's going to be cold the next morning, ready to go.
I love that, dude.
That's a really good one.
My shout, no free shout out is going to go to something that didn't happen to me last night,
but I wish it did.
and that's when you put your kids to sleep and it goes seamless.
There's no problem.
They don't scream.
They're not yelling.
We're not throwing temper tantrums.
And they just,
good night, dad.
I love you.
Big kiss.
You're walking out the door.
And it's,
you know,
745.
And you're like,
man,
I might be the best dad ever with the best kids of all time.
Now,
that did not happen last night.
Last night,
I was in hell with my youngest daughter,
who threw the biggest temper tantrum I've ever seen in my life.
Pepi for the week.
Yeah, well, it could be my pet peeve.
I have another pet peeve, because I don't want to, you know, I don't want to shame my daughter too much.
But I will tell you guys, it was a little bit of hell.
And it made me sit there and reminisce on those those times you have every once or while.
They're like real easy put-downs, really easy, nine nights.
And it's like, it's such a great feeling, especially when you do both of them.
Like sometimes my wife's a little tired.
I'll say, hey, honey, I'll get both the kids tonight, no problem.
So I'll go up, I'll put Willow down first.
Rip over to win.
When's easy, dude.
She's a plug-and-play type kid now.
That kid can fucking rip.
That's no issues ever.
In and out.
That's the type of stuff.
Love it.
Boys, anybody got a shout out?
No free shout out in the back?
Sure.
Don't be too excited.
Jesus.
The enthusiast is crazy, brother.
All right.
My shout out.
No free shout out.
It goes to listening to music in the shower.
There's just like sometimes maybe you're in like a down mood.
Maybe you're in like a like a, like you're just in a happy mood.
You can find that right genre of music.
But when you hop in and you're,
You're either just like vibe and dancing in the shower
or you're just kind of putting your head on the wall
just like that typically when you're hung over
you just put your head on the wall,
the wall, let that water just soak over you
and just take the Sunday scaries away.
But there's nothing better than listening
to the music in the shower.
Hell yeah, brother.
Hell yeah.
My shout-out, never shout-out goes to the last bite
of a burger or sandwich.
We strategically corner it to where it's just the perfect bite.
you're like, all right, I got this one last little bit
that's going to hit, it's going to smack.
Usually the juices or like whatever you got on the sandwich
has been like gravity's working in your favor
and it's just that last really perfect bite.
So, yeah, shout out to that bite.
And God have mercy on any sauce that's left over
to just get scraped up and taken down.
The ultimate scoop.
Yeah, yeah.
Also, it's, well, this would be tomorrow,
but today's National Cheeseburger Day.
50 cent cheeseburgers.
Let's go.
Someone's birthday.
Someone's having a birthday.
I like everybody.
If you're watching right now, that's a good point.
Yeah, if you're watching right now, that's a good point.
Yeah, if you're watching,
I like everybody who's also watching or listening to also sing out loud.
And video yourself doing it so that we can see it more.
Yeah, dude, and send it to the bus with the boys,
tag well, confident in it, dude.
Let's get it on three.
One, two, three.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear will
Happy birthday
to you
That boy, 47 years old today
The oldest fuck
33, right?
34, man
Oh my God!
I know, I know.
Get up.
You want those spankies?
I don't want you to do the spankans, brother.
You, we've been doing for your...
You want a penny on the couch like I did in that first podcast, your first birthday?
The browsers clip resurfacing of the browsers clip.
Yeah, the resurfacing of the brazzers clip.
You want that?
Take your shirt off.
Come on.
I'll give you, I'll give you four for 34.
How do you want me?
I want you.
It seems lazy to me.
How do you want me?
How do you want to?
It seems lazy.
I'm not to fucking paddle his ass.
Hang on now.
Get his eyes.
How do you want me?
I want you.
You want you?
Put your hands there.
Hands on there?
Hands there.
Yeah.
arch your back a little bit from me too
Ready
One two three four
He's out
I was hoping so bad you would not park
I thought you were gonna switch
Did you see me out of me?
You see me out like this?
Oh you were about to go and I clenched them boys up
Yeah
Hey
I hurt
Thanks boys no I'm thank God
I'm glad you did it that way
I thought you were about to
I was fucking squeezing it tight
Because I know you know
Want to turn 33 some day
If you celebrate tomorrow
Maybe get after a little bit
You know it's going to help the morning after.
Bet the bus winning picks.
Nope.
Not too, but you know what's going to help?
Yes, our morning, yes, our official drink of the birthday boy Willie C
and busts with the boys, body armor.
From sports drinks to sport water, body armor keeps us hydrated all day long
and whether we're talking, watching, playing sports, having a birthday,
body armor is the go-to choice.
Real hydration, real ingredients, packed with electrolytes, vitamins,
and nothing artificial.
Body Armor has great tasting flavors like strawberry banana and blue raspberry.
However, I will tell you that Blackout Berry is my personal favorite,
the best athletes and podcasters in the world drink Body Armor.
They're available in stores nationwide.
Head on over to Body Armor, their store on Amazon and get yours today.
Body Armor.
Drink up.
Body armor. Any big plans for your birthday?
My wife's doing something for me.
I don't know what it is.
And surprises, I love them when they're happening.
However, the way my routine brain operates, it fucking throws me off.
Yeah, it might be my pet peeve.
It's so funny, dude.
It's so funny the way you just...
We get there, you're like fucking Charles planning something for me tomorrow.
I'm thinking it's your birthday.
Like, she's doing something nice for you.
Because every time it's happened.
The bus today, man.
It's just...
I know, it's just...
The wires get off.
You know what I mean?
I think there's nothing better than routine.
But when it's happening, I do love it.
Where there's that surprise when you're at Jeff Rubies.
She drove my ass to that fucking Wolf Park where we hung out with wolves all day long.
That was fucking awesome, but I was pissed.
I'm not lying, boys.
We packed the car up.
We drive to Montgomery, Alabama night one.
And I'm thinking, hey, sweetheart, like, is it here?
Is it in Alabama?
I don't know what's going to be in Alabama that's going to get my rocks off and you're going to fire me up.
And she won't tell you.
No, she won't tell me.
We got to stay in the hotel overnight.
She's like, all right, just to, you know, I'm like, how long is the drive today this morning?
We got to get up and leave at like eight or nine in the morning.
I'm like, how the drive's not going to be long?
Probably three more hour drive.
And by the time we're in the fucking, we were driving back from Athens, like on the windy roads or whatever.
Say you're in it like that.
I'm thinking, what in the fuck is going to be wherever we're going that you think I'm going to be so excited about?
And why couldn't we fly?
Yeah.
Like at this point, why couldn't we fly?
Why couldn't we fly?
What's the closest airport?
Where are we at?
But then we pulled up.
I was like, I don't, sweetheart, I go, I don't know what you're about to see,
but I'm just going to tell you right now,
I think it's going to be,
that you're going to be surprised about me being upset about this.
Because unless we're swimming with orca whales at this point,
I don't know what we're doing.
And at that time, you weren't as infactually with Oracle whales.
No, no, I've loved Orca since free willy.
I've had the compass.
I watched all the movies, everything.
That's a friend, not known a friend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But we pulled up to this wolf reserve,
and it was awesome.
So, anyway, I do love the surprises once they're happening.
However, I fucking, you know, I'm like, well, how long, she held?
What time are you going to be home today?
I'm like, I obviously got to get some stuff in if we're going to do.
If you don't want me to go in to work tomorrow, you know, we're doing the shows.
We're doing the S&P.
I want to be prepared.
Am I going to get to prepare?
Are we going to be able to watch Monday night football tonight?
Like all the things, right?
You know what I'm saying?
I feel you.
And it's a double-headed tonight, too.
I know, but she did say, listen, relax.
It's going to be chill.
the boy just his head gets in a blender.
However, love the surprises.
Love the surprises, dude.
While you were telling me the surprise about the Wolf Sanctuary,
I thought about a girl I dated.
She took me on a surprise, like a surprise trip one time.
And I might have told this on this show before,
but she took me to Huntsville, Alabama
and took me to basically like a rocket camp type thing,
like a space, a spaceship place.
And she pulls up, she's like drives me that.
She won't tell me we're going to,
three hours away onsville.
It's like a three hour drive or maybe it's an hour and a half.
I have no fucking deal.
But I get there and I'm looking around like,
it's my birthday. And I have literally camp starts in three days.
I'm like, what are we doing here?
She's like, you love space.
No.
I'm like, what do you mean?
What do you mean? What do you mean?
I love space.
And we watched, what's the movie with,
we watched Interstellar?
And I remember, I remember vividly,
I'm laying in the bed with her and I go,
hey, man, space is pretty cool.
Isn't it wild how like,
there's just so much of it?
that's all I said.
And she takes me to Huntsville, Alabama.
And I remember her whole family showed up.
They were so excited to, like, show me this thing.
She was also from Alabama.
I let me excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
I had to look myself at the mirror and be like, just have fun.
Just have a good time because it's going to be, it's going to be a fucking brutal day.
And essentially it was me, this girl I was dating her family and a third grade field trip.
And we would do this whole thing together.
That is the longest day.
hilarious.
But we made the most.
of it. It ended up being a lot of fun.
I can always imagine the conversation
is going on in your head being like, what in
the fuck? I was so confused.
Like, space is happening right now?
Like, why am I at space camp?
I'm like just turned like 23.
Like, what am I doing at space camp?
Nothing. It was wild, man.
Truly wild.
But yeah, yeah, surprises.
Nothing better than surprises.
When's happening? And she hasn't missed. So it's like one of those
things, I'm sure I'm going to love it. It's
just wrapping my head around it. You know what I mean?
I'm not used to doing vacations, and then you're going on these trips to Italy,
which ended up being fucking a blast, but it's just...
He says you had a great time doing that.
It's just like, you know, getting uncomfortable.
Getting uncomfortable.
Right.
Your boy would love to just clock in, clock out, fucking go home, wash some ball, benching shows.
I don't know how you find time to watch the shows.
I spend so much time watching football right now.
I feel like that's...
Hadn't been able to recently.
I want to get back in the suits because I feel like my wife, we just been two ships passing
in the night with some of our schedule.
but I'd like to get back into suits.
It does.
I enjoy some suits.
I got to start watching suits.
I got to finish Last Kingdom with Taylund.
She's...
Great show.
Great show.
Pheph?
Yeah.
Pett beef?
Yeah.
Mine, I guess, yeah, mine will be the...
What?
Yeah.
Mine will be to hating surprises.
All right.
My pet peeve of the week
and it happened in South Carolina
is when someone
tries to show you
new music
when all the boys are like
trying to go to the bar
or like pregame
get hyped up to go to the bar
and this happened
in South Carolina
is like we're in the car
and we just finished
the put punk concert
and we're all a couple of drinks in
and Will's trying to show me
this rapper from Cleveland
who isn't Machine Gun Kelly
and he's like trying to play
it I'm thinking to myself
bro we're going to Jakes
we've been to Jakes three four times
we're all a couple drinks in
like can we just listen to some bangers
that everybody universally loves
so we can get the fucking
vibe going before we walk
into this college bar. And he's like
no, but you got to hear this guy. And then he would tell
a stories that are essentially inside
jokes with him and other friends that we don't know.
And we gotta sit there and listen to the inside jokes
where it's like, that's great. Will, I'm so glad
you had a fun time. Listen to the thing. What is this guy's
guy's name Mike? Chip the Ripper.
And I knew because I heard Chip the Ripper
when I was in Michigan. They called me Chip.
The Rift. And hey, I'm sitting there.
And I was sitting there like, yeah.
And we're all kind of just sitting in the car like, yeah.
this is awesome man
and I thought right then I got to write this shit down
because what an inopportune time
we should have just
Jackie did you feel the same way
I remember Chip the Ripper
and part of me remembers him being better
I do and yeah I was same same
that's so funny here you remember a bunch of the boys from
Detroit showing me Chip the Ripper and be like this
I remember either being from Cape Creek Arizona
trying to be cool with the black guys or whatever
but I remember him like hitting
and I remember Will putting that
on and thinking to myself, hopefully
everybody else is enjoying themselves in this music right now
because for me, I'm like, it's killing my
vibe, a touch. That is so funny.
But I also like would laugh to myself watching
and really enjoy
telling us these stories and it's kind of
like your grandfather just telling
you old war stories about going uphill
both ways in the snow.
You're just like, man. I hope you're
enjoying it. I love hearing
that story because I haven't heard until just
now, but now that I think about that car
right over, I was hell
bent on showing you guys that song
and the lack of
hearing that now I'm like I can totally
see that my lack of awareness
trying to show you guys music when you're
just trying to get hype to go to Jake's bar
Jack you put something on we're all like kind of
bobbing to it and Will it's like yo
what's that guy's name let me get see Will
we're like man what's his name I know and he
was like he was watching me like a video
it wasn't even on the
it wasn't even on the
music down yes dude
he had to turn the music down just to hear it on my phone
and I'm thinking.
Yeah, he called me Chip.
Very right.
And he's like, yeah.
I was like, dude, what are we doing?
What's funny?
Two, Jack is when I heard it.
I was like, I do remember feeling a little more hype than what I'm hearing now.
That sounds like we got to get on the sound system.
It's a little different on the sound system.
But anyway.
Yeah, that was with two tens.
Two tens.
That's right.
Should we kick off CJ Uzama?
Yeah, CJ Uzama, dude, tied in for the Jets, played for the Bengals.
He's been on this podcast once before.
Awesome guy.
incredible dude cannot wait to hear what he has to say
about the New York Jets
who are like literally the headlines of the NFL
The dude wiped shittiest moment
I think we can assume what the shittiest moment was
But I can't wait for him to say it
Before we kicked it there
I have an announcement
Oh okay
More of just
I'll just get right into it
The last month since Taylor's been back
Emotionally I've been running on high
and I think it's pretty obvious to the fan base.
After this weekend, the Tennessee Vols crushed me,
and our chances are done,
but I'd like to formally apologize to everyone
for being extremely emotional, over the top,
and just a little too much.
I'm going to really just sit back and relax for the rest of the year,
but I just need to get this one out.
So, yeah, from the bottom of my heart, I'm going to be chill again.
I'm going to be chill again.
So, yeah, that's it.
Go ahead.
No.
You are one of the heartbeats of the Tennessee Vols.
I can't have you going out after one loss.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not saying I'm going to be chill with the balls.
I'm just saying I'm going to be realistic with my expectations,
and I'm not going to let my emotions get in the way
and make other people uncomfortable.
I deserve everything that's been coming for me
with all the shit I've been talking.
I will not be giving up on the Valls
in any way, shape, or form.
I just need to let you guys know and the audience know.
I haven't been myself the last month.
I flew a little too close to the sun.
We're still going to fucking ride for the Valls.
It's going to be a fun season.
But as a person, I'm going to be more emotionally aware.
and I'm getting back into therapy.
It's so funny
how you had that come to Jesus
moment with yourself just now
and Will, who literally
we could watch him any moment with Nebraska
be exactly how you were just saying,
be like, no, Jack, don't do it.
These are more just for the boys.
I love the passion. I hated
when I was driving us back from Athens
and I would see in my rearview mirror.
you do essentially surrender cobra
he was calmer and quieter than I thought he was going to be
no I well you once I saw
because G was holding the thing up and I was seeing it was like
26 to 19 or it was the game was over essentially
I locked I made sure the doors were locked
because I thought he was going to jump on the back
yeah I might fall out this trunk
I didn't do my seatbelt 20 minutes into the drive
yeah Taylor was
getting us home in a hurry oh that's so funny
and how was that driving by the way
I didn't care.
I was ready for you to blast someone.
You did a windshield.
You have been touchy the last month.
But it's football season, baby.
If you can't be a crazy fan and you can't just have all the biggest hopes and dreams.
Literally in my head as a Michigan fan right now, I'm sitting here going, if we don't win the national champions, we have failed.
We have failed as a program.
But in reality, they haven't won a big championship until two.
since 2004, and they've backed
back to back. If they can win three in a row, that's
incredible. If they can be to Ohio State for a third year
in a row, that's incredible. But
I have this delusion of my head about
how the Michigan Wolverines
need to win a national championship, or we're
nothing. We're pieces of shit.
And that is what makes being a fan
of your team so beautiful
is you have this delusion.
You have this. And this is just to be a thing that
pissed me off as a player, the fans
of this type of delusion, but now sitting back
and being able to be a fan of my college football team,
being a fan of the Tennessee Titans
and have a delusion of like,
we got to fucking win it all.
And this is why
and meticulously figuring out
ways to have the ultimate confidence in your team.
No one does it better than Will Compton.
Now, Will's delusion is getting,
he's used the word a few times,
very long-winded.
It's getting old to me.
Because I need the boys in Michigan
to stomp his bitch ass out
next weekend.
I need to silence that man in a big way.
But one thing you don't have to silence yourself
as we get out of this podcast,
and everything like that. We should talk about nicotine. Now, I have been sober. I'm on my fourth week
being sober from nicotine. I'm very proud of myself. But I know ball and I know nicotine ball. And if you're
going to do nicotine, it needs to be loosey. Dude, you need to visit l-ucy.com and use promo code
bust and B-U-S-S-I-N to get 20% off your first order. But if you don't use nicotine,
that's it. That's it. Dude, feel free. Okay, that's a whole forward, but I essentially just did that.
Lucy, nicotine gums, pouches and breakers all have.
three things in common. No tobacco,
no tobacco, powerful nicotine, and
delicious flavors. Lucy sent
me a bunch of products to try and I've
been really enjoying the breakers. Yes.
So, Beer Olympics.
They sent literally from
2 milligrams to 12 milligrams and everything
in between and what these breakers do. And the one thing I hear about
the Lucy competitors that people don't like is
how small the little
nicotine pouches are. With Lucy,
you feel that power in your lip
where you don't have to stack two on top of each other. You feel
kind of the bulk of it where it's like, oh, I'm really getting some out of this.
A lot of tobacco users when they're trying to get off tobacco, go to the nicotine.
And that's where they really, you really feel the biggest difference.
With Lucy, they have a bigger pouch and with the breakers.
You can break that thing.
And that's just a whole bunch of flavors, dude.
It's incredible.
Breakers have something that no other pouches do.
And that's a little capsule inside each one.
I just told you that if you break it with your teeth to release nicotine way faster
than other products.
That's essentially it.
It is a very delicious product.
Me, myself, I'm a flavor guy.

We're rolling right now.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we got the fucking number one Chiapet in all of NFL.
Fucking CJ Ouzman, brother.
Let's give this man a round of applause.
Oh, the boy, CJ.
Welcome back, bro.
I know we were just mentioning how last time we missed it with Taylor,
we had a great tier talk.
Phenomenal tier talk.
Matter of fact, I think with CJ was grades,
was it grades in school?
Oh, it was grade schools.
Yeah.
Grades in school.
Yeah, because I had a couple that,
I said it to you and you kind of gave me that look like,
you're an idiot.
Like, you paid those days?
But hey, listen, I guess we'll just start with an easy, like a law.
I'm just going to lobby this one up, brother.
A nice, easy question to kind of get us all on a good foundation.
Are the Jets dead?
No, no, I'm alive still.
I'm still here.
So, no, we're not dead.
We're all still alive, which is great.
So contrary to it's mainstream media, you guys are alive and well.
No, we are.
We are.
And, yeah, you know, as much as you, I mean, you know this,
like, as much as you try to, like, not, you know, tune everything out.
you always hear something.
You always hear some just random somebody saying something.
And the people in your own, you know, locker room,
the beat writers that are supposed to kind of be for you,
they're against you.
And so, yeah, that's just the way it is.
We're going to continue to hear that probably the entire year.
Like, oh, well, you know, even if they're going on a win streak,
it doesn't matter.
There's still this and that.
And it is what it is, man.
So, no, we're alive.
We're alive and well.
I saw everybody in the locker room today.
The boys are ready.
So, yeah, it's great.
What's the vibe like?
You guys have an emotional week one.
Rogers, he goes down.
Everyone knows that story right now.
He goes down.
You guys have an emotional win.
The boys are hype in the end zone
after that punt return.
Hype.
You're probably, you know, not writing high,
but like, you know, nobody's picking us to win,
which is a great spot to be in
and then playing a tough Dallas team.
What's the vibe like after a loss like that?
You know, obviously, we talk about mainstream media.
You hear all the room.
you hear all the chirps with Zach Wilson and Zach Wilson.
No, he's more confident with Aaron Rodgers.
Now he's going to be a different product this year.
He throws the picks that he does.
It's like, is it the same old Zach Wilson?
What is the vibe like overall with the boys after a loss like that?
Yeah, I think it was great after, you know, after the game.
Sometimes you're like, yeah, we just got to get back to work and we just got to correct
whatever it was.
And that's not what that's not the case, to be honest.
Like Justin Hardy came up and he kind of, he kind of, he kind of, he kind of,
to let us let us have it and we needed it you know he talked about all three phases not playing well
the defense i think played like 90 snaps offense we only played 49 uh and that's just that's not
going to cut it right like that's not going to win us win us football game so um yeah we kind of
we kind of let each other have it a little bit we're we're all looking at each other in the mirror
and we're kind of understanding that we honestly just played like shit and and kudos to them they're a
really good team and um they had our number and you know we have to take that under the chin but
we understand that we shot ourselves in the foot a lot in a really bad way it's not all on
Zach and we keep telling on that right like the quarterback's going to get the ground of it and he's
going to get everyone's going to just going to try to collapse everything onto him but he was just
trying to make plays and he didn't make plays you know he I think that he played he played well
you know he didn't play great none of us played great obviously we feel like we got killed and
but you know truth of the matter is we're going to come back and uh vibes are still hot vibes are
really, really high after kind of understanding that we played just absolutely terribly
and still we're able to have a little bit of success and the,
honestly, just the worst that we probably played in quite some time.
So, yeah, I mean, it's tough and we have Zach's back 100%.
We have each other's backs.
And yeah, this next week, divisional game is going to be a good one.
You brought up a big point of defense playing 90 snaps and you guys playing under 50 snaps as
an offense, like, where do you guys see that you can improve the most?
I mean, there's obvious answers there, but, like, as a unit, like, where do you see
you guys, like, being like, if we can just eliminate these couple of things?
We're going to have a whole lot more success, give our defense a whole, more of a rest
and not have to play almost 100 snaps during the game.
Right.
I think it's first down.
First down, we were killing ourselves.
We weren't getting any progress on first down, and whether it's communication error,
whether it's, you know, one person not doing their job.
I mean, whatever it is.
first down, we weren't productive and we weren't as productive as we needed to be.
And, you know, I think we were one for 10 on third down, but those third downs were like, you know, it's 10 plus almost every time.
And you can't, you can't really be successful if you're putting yourself behind the sticks like that in the entire game.
So that's the main thing.
You know, I think communications, communications on the fronts, communications with the ones that we were having.
We weren't able to get the ground game going because on first down we weren't getting any positive yards, really.
Maybe we're getting one yard.
And that's on us.
You know, that's on the communication from the line,
whether it's communication from the quarterback and the receivers,
whatever it was.
It just wasn't happening.
Yeah, man, when you get behind the chains, it is tough.
Yeah.
Because if you just start, like he said,
you went on first down and gets a little momentum.
You know, I know this is always the optimism of the player going into the next week,
but you do a couple of those things.
Like, it is a different ball.
As a player, if you can literally just live in a world of second and seven
or second and six, the playbook completely open.
up. You can literally do
absolutely anything you want to do.
This divisional game coming up, you guys
got it. I mean, we've already
kind of talked about the vibe in the locker room, but going
into this one, you've got to have a level
of confidence with the way boys played
this week and then, you know, catching
a dub the week before. So
I don't know where I'm necessarily
going with this at all. I thought you
got one more. I got one more
on that game. I'm not good at this job.
We have a, a sponsor
called Dude Wipes. And we asked
this question about what it what was the shittiest moment in that cowboy's game like you personally
when you're like god damn it this is this outside of probably the score but like what was the
shittiest moment in that game personal for you yeah i'll tell you right now it was we had a pinpole
scheme and it was against micah and i just i was like oh just i just got to hold on i just got to like
get the ball outside and we'll be good.
And I sustained for maybe two seconds, two and a half seconds.
And then he ended up pushing me off, slipping inside, hit the running back,
fumble, scooped.
Like he, I mean, it was, it was bad ball all the way around.
And I'm sitting here.
I'm going off on the side.
I'm like, like, this is not good.
That was, that was just an absolute terrible play.
And the defense holds him to a field going on.
I'm like, thank you, God.
Defense, thank you for a good.
to bail me out right there because that was not, I mean, that was absolutely terrible.
I was abysmal by my part or on my part and defense bails us out.
And then we go back and, you know, we're not, we're not able to progress.
But that personally for me, that was, that was not.
That was definitely the shittiest play.
When you're looking at a guy like Micah Parsons, we talked about him earlier on the podcast before you came on,
is there a guy in the league that's touching him right now on the defensive side of the ball?
I'm going to be honest.
I don't think so.
Like his his get off his I mean he's a freak he ran he's he's like running routes on defensive lineman like watching him play he's running I I love Gary Wilson Gary Wilson to me is is one of the if not the best receiver
that I've gotten the chance to play with right and I've played with a lot of greatest here so he's one of the best receivers I won't say he's the best he's one of the best results he's one of the best routes is ridiculous the way that Micah on the edge it seems like he's running routes on defensive
of lineman. He's just like, oh, I'm setting you up for this.
Slip. Oh, I'm setting you up for this. Oh, I'm going
outside and chopping and it's
ridiculous. So no, I don't know if there's a better
defense of player right now
in the league.
When you're sitting, when he's having the game
that he's having, do you just look over at the
old line and go, those poor boys over there?
Those poor, those poor thick boys are just
really going through it. Because it's not just the
tackles, dude. He lines up everywhere.
Do you see it? Do you see it in their eyes sometimes?
He's lining up at
three tech. He's lining up over the
center he's I mean I remember thinking to myself when he was lining up over the center I'm like this is
like miles Garrett when miles Garrett was playing basketball over the center and then so disrespectful so
disrespectful what are they what are they they're just putting this guy anywhere and saying hey go have fun right so
yeah no it's it's like for me I'm like all right nice like we're going to get we're going to get a chip on
nope he's lining up at three tech he's lining up at the nose we can't you're not going to be able to
chip him because you can't find what are you going to do you're going to line up in the A you have to
chip him and try to get out. So yeah, no, that was, uh, seeing, seeing him, he's a,
he's a freak athlete. He's an unbelievable player. And yeah, we were just, we didn't have
answer from him. And his, uh, celebration where he like crawls with, number one without his leg.
I'm literally tearing my fucking elbows to shreds trying to crawl like that on that turf,
the way he's able to do it. It's yeah. He does seem like he's out. Yeah. I mean, I look, no,
I don't know. Well, listen, I saw your, uh, I saw you, you had, you had shoes on. You weren't warmed up.
you had a nice little punt set.
I mean, you could have done a little bit more, I think, on the dump on the dumbbell.
I think you could do that.
I think you still got it.
You feel like the Billy football thing?
I appreciate that, man.
Do you think about Billy football at 10 in you?
I think so.
Yeah, I mean, that's shoes.
No, I'm talking about, I'm talking about, I'm talking about when you all were,
were you all at Georgia?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I guess, I guess he caught that.
You get it.
You can, hey, we'll get your punset damn near anywhere.
That boy, he's automatic with that.
Right when I walked in that indoor and I just started.
Oh, you guys want me to do this right now dry?
Okay, no problem.
Dude, a big area of conversation throughout the national football landscape is turf.
You played on turf this weekend.
Is it that big of a deal to you?
Because we go on about it how when you get older, you definitely feel the next day.
You do feel a little faster during practice or during games.
But after those joints hurt a little bit more, where do you stand on the whole turf, no turf thing in the NFL?
I think, for one, I think, Dallel.
talking about it. I actually, in terms of turf, I think that Dallas has one of the best
turf fields. Yeah, it's bouncy. Yeah, it's a little bouncy. And I kind of like that.
But in terms of turf in general, yeah, 100%. You could stand on turf and not do anything.
And the next day, your knees are in back or hurting. I don't know if it's, I mean, I'm 30 now,
so maybe that's the reason. But no, I think even prior to that, right? Like, when I was younger,
I'm like, dang, like, why are people talking about this? And I wake up the next, and I'm like,
my back like it's cracking in places it usually doesn't crack so yeah i mean i think there's
definitely a difference that you can definitely feel it even when you're out there if you're
the defense is playing in 90 plays they're going to feel it before the next day right and um and then
today you know it's they're like oh all right we got we got to kind of run this off a little bit
try to flush the system um but yeah there's definitely difference there's definitely a reason
why you know messy decided not to play at Atlanta right because they have a turf field and he was
like I'm not probably I'm not going to play on this turf field.
So, yeah, I think, you know, the obvious answer is, yeah, grass is way better than turf is.
Yeah, I know, because we would talk about it.
And that was basically what we're saying.
Like when you're younger, you feel like the turf just makes you faster.
You're just not really, yeah, you're not really aware of what the vets and everybody else is talking about.
Until you're like, you know, like, man, why do we got to practice on turf today?
Let's stay outside on the field.
Like, you just feel much better when you get done playing a football game on grass than you do turf.
but I don't know of any players that prefer turf over grass
unless you're like some young guy
and you just haven't felt it yet.
Yeah.
That's sure in high school, right?
I remember in high school,
there was one team that we played against that had turf
and we were like, oh my gosh, the coolest thing.
We need turf.
Like, this is sick.
And now I'm like, no, I'm cool.
Like, let's just, let's go grass as much as we can.
Let's get out of here.
No doubt, dude.
Was it you on the show that was talking about Odell
and during the Super Bowl,
how you guys really went out in the field
and the paint was a little bit different
for the Super Bowl and you're like,
you got to watch out on that 46-yard line
that paint going on there.
It's just crazy how much
a little bit of different texture
on the field can make a whole bunch of difference
on guys and non-contact injuries.
It's a wild deal.
Do it your favor before you get out of here.
I'm going to name three random teams
and I want you to rank them for me, okay?
So whistle pig, whistle pig whiskey,
tear talk right now, C.J.
Whistle pig tier talk.
Just three,
and I'm going to go off the top of my head.
It's going to be, let's go,
Bill's, Dolphins, Patriots, Rankham.
What do we think?
What is this?
If you just had to, if you're in your mind,
gun to your head.
We're going to pull the trigger.
Who's the third best in those three?
All right.
I got you.
I got you.
I got you.
All right.
Then I'm going, I'm going Dolphins one because my boy,
Mike White's on the squad.
I'm going bills too because they got Josh.
Josh is the boy.
And we'll go.
Patriots 3 because I don't really know anybody except for 100 or 100 there.
Smooth.
That was a smooth way to...
It was a good answer.
It was a good answer to a massive trap question.
That's obviously media outlets are going to be like, C.J. Usman, need to...
Well, my Twitter account's going to say, uh, Miami, Buffalo, New England, New York Jets.
CJs...
CJs is the people.
C.J. Zama rinks the Jets fourth.
We're going to have a problem.
I'm going to apply to Nashville.
C.J. Zama rinks.
Rinks.
That's fourth in the division.
Yeah.
I'm just kidding.
Yeah.
Dog, thanks for joining us.
This is going to be fun.
You are one of our recurring guests.
Do you have another one?
You got another question?
No, no, no.
I was just literally sitting back in this chair and kind of smiling to myself like,
we got a good squad of recurring guests.
I know.
And it fires me up, dude.
And next time, we will have a more fun tier talk.
That was such a nice, easy, low-hanging fruit that we had to do.
But we appreciate you coming all, man, because you are one of the boys.
You get everything we do, and that's what's going to
You understand the process for sure.
Yeah, I appreciate you guys having me on.
This is going to be fun.
Yes, sir.
Good luck this weekend.
Fucking, you do not want that green hair to go to waste, brother.
We are pulling for you out here at the bus.
Yeah, well, actually, I do have one more question.
When do we do that, the hair?
Because it's green and green is loud, but that's a loud green.
Yeah, no, it is allowed green.
So we did the green before the first week.
We dyed the hair before.
I have to make sure everyone knows this.
We dyed the hair before it was announced
and before I knew that we had hard knocks.
Because Aaron just kept just, oh, he did it for hard knocks.
He wanted everyone.
Not the case.
I did it before hard knocks.
I was just like, why not?
Like, how many opportunities we're going to have in my life to dye my hair
and people will not look at me like I'm an absolute buffoon?
People do that still.
But, you know, it's okay.
It's in a locker room that's with the boys.
So, yeah, I'm, I'm.
I'm going to mix it up a little bit.
Maybe like let Twitter decide what it's going next.
But yeah, it's fun.
Why not?
That's a great way to get interaction on your social media is asking the people what color you should go next.
And also, yeah, you're right, dude.
Be an NFL football player is an automatic cool card.
Automatic.
Even if you're that kicker for the Colts a couple years ago with the glasses, like automatically cool.
So when you go and pop on the green hair, there's some kid that's a fan of the New York Jets right now sitting in the Bronx going,
I want to be just like that.
and he's dying us here just like you.
So congrats on being cool all day long
with that haircut, brother.
I appreciate that.
Have a day, boys.
DJ, see you, brother.
All right, see you guys.
Appreciate you, man.
