Bussin' With The Boys - Pat McAfee Is Walking Away From $120 MILLION & Selling Out To ESPN?

Episode Date: May 18, 2023

Recorded: May 17th 2023 | In this week's episode, Taylor is finally back. We pick up right where we left off on Tuesday’s episode by getting into Harry Potter vs. Star Wars again. Taylor adds a diff...erent perspective and picks his side in the argument. We then get into the news surrounding Pat McAfee and his new deal with ESPN. The boys talk about whether Pat won the deal with the new platform or if ESPN won the deal by adding such a massive name to their program. Some of the fans are worried that the show will go corporate and change despite everything Pat said about that not happening. Overall we are stoked for the boys over there. Another one of the boys, Jelly Roll, was on Joe Rogan podcast. He has been taking the world by storm as he should. Hopefully he gave the boys a little shout out on the pod as well. The boys talk about Joe Burrow possibly taking a team friendly deal in his new contract. Taylor teaches us what it means to have your 5th year option picked up and the different ways Burrow’s contract can be friendly. Moral of the story is, Joe is going to make a lot of money no matter what he does with his contract, it’s just whether or not he wants to keep some of his other weapons with the team. It’s another pod of just the boys but this time all the boys are here. Some good laughs, good conversation and good fun.

Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:10 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.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Another podcast from. some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman helped make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform?
Starting point is 00:00:49 We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman. Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last?
Starting point is 00:01:18 Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the Aihar Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of Boston with Boys. This is episode 2, 23, and we are here to talk to you about something very special near and dear to our hearts. That is the Chevy Silverado, you know we're a truck guys through and through, and the Chevy Silverado has been a partner with unstoppable grit and determination. It's been our most valuable truck. And now the first ever all-electric Silverado joins the franchise, dude.
Starting point is 00:01:53 It's just the eyes. You got it. You know this thing by heart. You know this thing by heart. We just see these things in experience. Let me tell you. It is an absolute game change. Available 400 mile range GM estimated on a full charge over 10 feet of length.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Tell me if you plug it in on a full charge, you get 400 miles. That's what I'm telling you, brother. Holy shit. It's an estimated GM, so you might get 405. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's incredible. It's a tailgate like. I'll tell you about the tailgate.
Starting point is 00:02:17 You want to know what the tailgate? It has over 10 feet of length in the bed with the multiflex tailgate combined with the multiflex midgate, a large 17 inch diagonal display screen. Large 17 inch diagonal display screen, brother. 17 inches? That's ridiculous. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:02:32 It can tow to a thousand pounds of max towing. Wait, what? 1,000. 10. 10. 10,000. 10,000. 10,000.
Starting point is 00:02:40 10. That is 10x this thing. Yeah. That is 10xed. Zero to 60 and 4004.5 seconds, which is my 40 times. That's right. With the wow mode, which I guess we're sticking with it, dude. Up to an impressive 785 foot pounds of pork.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Which people have told me. me over and over again with torque as I still don't know. Please head over to Chevy. Jack, what is torque again? How fast you get off the line. Oh, you get off the line. Will had that torque at that pro day when he's run that 4.5-640, dude.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Damn. So I missed a lot, dude. I missed a big conversation on Monday. It was about who would win to fight. Jedi's or wizards? The original argument was just if you had to get rid of one universe. That was the original question. And then it's now gone to who would win in a fight,
Starting point is 00:03:33 which I don't really have a horse in it because it's kind of obvious. Yeah, but it seems like if those are two different arguments, I might have two different conclusions. Because if you're talking about destroying a universe, like you've seen those Star Wars scenes where they're having big time fights, they have the little robots to kind of walk and just they kind of shoot and those guys in the white suits, those are going too. Like that's a whole, those are armies.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I'm talking about spaceships and all that. I'm pretty sure Hoggorse doesn't have that. They still got, they still got like horse flying horse-cair. Like those horses are getting binked in a second going over the top. So I'm thinking if you're going universe versus universe, I think Star Wars just is going to take it in the blink of an eye. Which I respect to edit because I know you're a big Harry Potter.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I think it's funny. I was laughing with JP yesterday because I was like, yeah, I actually mess with Harry Potter. It's just funny that now it seems like I'm hating on Harry Potter. Yeah. But I think if you go a one-on-one battle, who's the best Jedi out there? Yoda.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Yeah, I think Yoda versus what? I don't know if it's Harry. Would it be Dumbledore? Yeah, Voldemore. It depends, dude, if you're doing like a long distance, like from me to Jack, how far does that go? How far does the hand go? But these little Wingardian Leviosa,
Starting point is 00:04:45 is that little fucking beam of light that comes out of the wand, that might be a bit of a farther deal, you know? Yeah, he's got a weapon, but also like, he could do that with you too. You know, you know. Avedicadabra. Have we not talked about a vaticadabra? Because of Vatican's Airbo, he's gone. Instant blows up.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Disintegrated. Harry Potter boys can do that too. They're like mimes, but their shit actually happens. They can do whatever. They can put themselves in a glass box if they want him. The shit's over. Yoda is washing anybody who is in front of him. You think so?
Starting point is 00:05:20 Athletically, Yoda has it. I've seen him fight. He can flip and do tricks and stuff. Boy, says they're crutching in there. And the next thing, you know, he's flipping doing acrobats. Yeah, we had to talk about that too, because that pissed me off like in Willow. Wanka when the guy walks out of his chocolate factory on the coach and all of a sudden he does a
Starting point is 00:05:34 somersault. Yeah. And it's like, yeah, and Yoda does that. He's always making people, he's making people sleep on him. I mean, like, Anakin Skywalker, who is, Darth Vader, grows to, grows up to beat Darth Vader. Don't spoil it. A lot of people haven't seen it. How do you have to do it. Mitch included. Yeah, yeah, man. That's crazy. Well, that's, that's, that's, that's on you, brother. But Anakin Skywalker, he completely wiped out, destroyed, slaughtered an entire school of young little Jedi. Yeah. Like, what do you think he'd do with these?
Starting point is 00:06:02 At Hogwarts? With these muggles. They're not muggles. Well, these little half muggles. Those mudbloods? Yeah. I don't know if I could say that in the pod. We might have to delete that.
Starting point is 00:06:12 I might have canceled for that. I don't know, dude. I think a one-on-one battle, you're looking at maybe a 51-49 edge on a wizard. But I think most other tactical situations, you're looking at Jedi's taking the cake.
Starting point is 00:06:24 They got numbers. They got numbers. But we're talking, well, the argument we ended up getting to top seven, seven on seven. Your seven best versus our seven best. From how far of a distance? Are we talking, like, being on a football arena? Are we talking about...
Starting point is 00:06:36 Like hunger games where there's a big giant map and they're just trying to find each other slowly but surely. We're fighting like, it's like Voldemort when the... No, we're meeting in the parking lot. Yeah, like... Like Anchorman. The end battle. The parking lot, I think the Jedi's take it. They got the swords, so close contact, that's over.
Starting point is 00:06:50 So here's the thing with the force. Once you're in the grasp of the force, you can't cast a spell. So once I have you, And I bring you closer. Now we're getting into a few different worlds. Like maybe they have like this spell out there. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:07:03 They can use like a charm of some sort that allows them to displace the force. You know? They've never seen the force. Yeah, they've got alchemists out there. You go in, you play the video game. You know what it's like. You can put the video game. You go into the town.
Starting point is 00:07:15 They got potteries and all these different things to allow you to, you can be invisible if you want. PEDs. Yeah, they have PEDs. They have PEDs out there for the boys. So I'm sure these boys take a bunch of shit, stack up on a bunch of Austrian. They go out there and they play ball. You know?
Starting point is 00:07:28 A wizard wand gets real big. They're not piss testing these guys before they're going to war. So I think you go out there to, what's it with Hogsmead? You go out to Hogsmead, get some potions in you, get a couple of plants that bite, toss some things out there. Like you're even, you're even in the area. Couple plants that bite? Yeah, there's like a chomping cabbage.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Yeah, chomping cabbage. You didn't know about that, dog? So now while you're all disconfigure, you're trying to fight this vegetable, you're getting done up by the wizards. Seven on seven, I think go to the, go to the wizards. We have brooms. It's good for the argument. I like it's good just to have the argument out there,
Starting point is 00:08:08 but there's just no, we're talking about people flying on brooms. We're talking about kids, man. We're talking about kids. There's way too many beards. There's way too many beers we're just talking about kids. Top seven's going to be like 200 years old. Who's Harry Potter's top seven again?
Starting point is 00:08:24 Harry Potter's top seven. Who's coming out of Hogwarts? Oldenmore. Yeah, we heard Hermione drop. Oh, Lord. Hermione, she's just a great student, but I don't know if she's got the street smarts to handle the game. You are so...
Starting point is 00:08:36 Hermione is being so underutilized. Hermione is a genius, like a literal genius. You need her on the field, strategy, whatever it may be. She's getting dust, bro. I think she sits back... No, she's not getting dusted. She sits back in the command room and tells the boys what to do. Yeah, you need a leader.
Starting point is 00:08:53 You need a leader, absolutely, but what about Dumbledore? Yeah, he's in there. What about... Harry Dumbledore, Voldemort, Voldemore. Sirius Black. I'd probably put Belatrix the Strange in there. Snape. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:09:10 I'm putting, I'm putting, I'm putting Lucius Malfoy, Draco's father in there. He's a demon. He's like that? Yeah, he's like that. The death theaters are, don't fuck with them, I think.
Starting point is 00:09:24 But again, our argument was getting rid of the universes. I don't really have a dog in this fight, because I'm nervous. There's a lot of people in that Star Wars universe. Who was your top seven, B? You gotta go, Yoda, Darth Vader, Lord Sidious, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Ray. Yeah, Kyle Rounds, I mean, he was a beast.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Yeah, Kylo Ren. I mean, that's seven right there. I think you can substitute a lot, like our, even the depth. Like, I know we have a universe, but I'm talking, The depth of the force goes insane. Like, we're not even talking. JP brought up a good one. Liam Neeson, Quigon Jen.
Starting point is 00:10:11 He died to Darth Mall. Darth Mall is a bad motherfucker. Like, there's just... What are they bringing to the table? Are they allowed to bring their lightsabors and their wits about them? They're all their fingers, obviously, to do the thing? Yeah. Do you guys get to bring your wands?
Starting point is 00:10:23 Yeah, no. Lightaber... Bring your wand, right? Like, those are the same. Then we've got potions. We won't go invisible. Dude, like... Invisibility cloak?
Starting point is 00:10:32 It's the force, man. It's the force. and then all of a sudden they're crouching down, they're walking around. You are one with the universe. Your universe. The universe. Where's the home field? We can make it whatever planet it needs to be on.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Okay. Making it at Hogwarts then. Make it at Hogwarts then. If it's at Hogwarts, it's over. Yeah, the Pokemon level on Smash Brothers. Yeah. Oh, Lange's placed on Smash? Then they don't have a chance.
Starting point is 00:10:57 It's too close quarters. Oh, Han Solo, low key, would hold his own. I don't know. Han Solo is a true human. Yeah, I know. that that's what I'm saying. That's a whole other level. You're being disrespectful like that.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Yeah, you're trying to disrespect them. Yes. Like, I was good with this conversation until that comic came in. There's no normal human in Harry Potter that could compete with Han Solo and Han Solo can compete with. Well, Hermione's a mudblood. She's part human. Part human.
Starting point is 00:11:21 That's what I'm saying. Like, it's getting, it's over, man. Like, there's truly no, there's no shot. Like, the force is just a different animal. I get the potions, the learning. Isn't there only so many people that have the force? we're talking about the chosen the chosen
Starting point is 00:11:37 outside of that though it's kind of a bunch of just pawns yeah yeah we're talking about seven if we're talking about the actual yeah we're talking about if we're getting outside seven now we're trying to bring in the universe
Starting point is 00:11:49 like at the end of the day I have a dog in this fight yeah I was gonna say Star Wars has it you're saying that but you started off with I don't have a dog in this fight because it's so obvious and then you know I don't have a dog in this fight
Starting point is 00:11:57 because I'm scared yesterday it was like yeah we were going toes Was it just you? Mitch was there, but Mitch went and did a video where he was getting choked out by the force. So I don't know. It was a funny-ass video. It was.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Because when you go universe, like at the end of the day, Star Wars has the Death Star, and that thing disintegrates any type of planet, whatever. You have a Hagrid. You have a Hagrid, there's a little force field while it goes over Hogwarts. My argument from top to bottom before it was like who would win in a fight was that the cinematic universe of Harry Potter to me feels more authentic. Like there's like this storyline you grow up with
Starting point is 00:12:40 through all the movies. That's why I was The same storyline they piggyback from Star Wars. No, Star Wars is literally based around Dune. No, Star Wars is true. No, that is true. I think that is true. I was trying to think of something else. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's coming out. He's saying that. I've never seen Dune. I've never seen Dune.
Starting point is 00:12:59 But knowing I saw that comment, I'm like, I have no clue. when did do when did dune come out uh the well no the original dune came out in like the early 80s and then like the remake of the original dune just came out two years ago there's a new how many dunes are there there's only one right now out that is a remake of the old one and now there's a part two how many old ones were there only one oh well see yeah star wars is it was just like the idea star wars created the blueprint for the lightsaber no for harry potter Star Wars walks So everybody could run

Starting point is 00:14:16 I think I'll be rocking that one a lot on the course. If you guys are wondering, I want to think about something that's coming up, mark your calendar. There's 137 days. 137 days still spooked over. It's coming down the pipe. I think it's a big year. This is a big year for Spooktober. I think this is the, this is the contract year for Spooktober. This is put up or shut up.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Do I think so? I think the last couple years, they've been fun. They've been great, but they haven't touched. Yes, they haven't touched what it can be. You look nice, man. You do got that face white going on. I'm hot, dude. I've been traveling. I've been moved out. Yeah, of course. or a sweaty little boy But all the new merch is out Dad merch is thinking about Father's Day This is the drop That you guys want to shop for
Starting point is 00:15:13 The drop you want to shop for The drop you want to shop for A bit of a bar What is bust with the boys up going on? We got merch going on We have Spooktober to look forward to And we got a Harry Potter And Hogward situation
Starting point is 00:15:23 Big stuff going on Probably a little bit bigger than the next subject But Pat McAfee is going to ESP Let's give a round of applause For Pat McAxie Incredible What a pivot from the man obviously left Fanduel.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Left Fanduel. Left a lot of money on the table. Well, maybe not. Maybe he's getting more money. Who knows what's really going on. True. But he signed a four-year $120 million deal. You!
Starting point is 00:15:47 30 million a year. Left in the middle of year, too, to go to pivot and go to ESPN. Probably draft kings, I would assume. But who knows, bro? What do you make of the Pat McAfee show going to ESPN? There are clips. A lot of fans. It seems like they're divided.
Starting point is 00:16:02 you got a lot of fans happy for the boys. Happy for the Big W, happy for the big win. Another half that are mad and calling him a sell hot. Because they're going corporate. Because they're going corporate because there's close to McAfee back of the day saying they will fucking never go to a program like ESPN. Yeah. Well, I think it goes back to what we talk about in this podcast.
Starting point is 00:16:19 You can say whatever you want and you're always available to change your opinion. Maybe there's some different stuff like that ESPN has allowed Pat McAfee to do that it will still keep the integrity of a show because, I mean, everything Pat's done, it really seems like he's crushed. Yeah. And it's been like his way. So I think there's going to be no situation when he goes to ESPN and doesn't do
Starting point is 00:16:40 his same exact thing. I thought he had a great video of them doing the announcement saying that, hey, this is changing, that's changing, then it's actually a lie. Nothing's changing. Yeah, that was funny. Love that little. I thought they did a great job. That little sketch. It's a great video. And he's got a great relationship with ESPN. Obviously they did the mega cast
Starting point is 00:16:56 for the playoffs. And then he's on you know, college game day. Every Saturday. So, signing to do that one thing. It seems like it's a massive, a massive deal for the boy. Yeah, I think it's a big jump for the boys.
Starting point is 00:17:09 We'd love to see those numbers. The rumor is, Pat is getting $15 million a year annually from ESPN. That is the rumor right now. Yeah. 15 mil. And he's bringing all the boys with them. Like, look, at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:17:22 they saw an opportunity and I know a lot of things are changing in Pat's life that probably he said, all the videos he's posted talking about it, it seems like he sat with all the correct white collars and everything else of the world to make sure that they have creative control and creative direction. At the end of the day, ESPN has a massive platform. We're talking, what is it?
Starting point is 00:17:41 What's their subscriber following on YouTube? ESPN? Yeah, ESPN. I think it's like 70. I'll pull this up here. 9.3 million. There's a, I'll pull up this article. I was reading something earlier, boys, and I think this will be helpful for everybody.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Smy Smith for the classic like hands over the chin and their little, uh, their backdrop there. That's just a classic look. So ESPN is on 74 is in 74 million households. ESPN plus, which his show will be on every day. Subscribers, 25.3 million subscribers. ESPN YouTube subscribers, as Jack just showed, 9.3 million. Twitter followers, 45.5 million. ESPN Instagram followers, 25 million.
Starting point is 00:18:29 TikTok followers, 36 million. Obviously, Pat has a massive following himself. I think the numbers I was reading on this article, a total, you know, north, well north of like 50 million. But with ESPN, he's going to a massive audience, a massive fan base. He's going to be in front of everybody everywhere. We're talking bars, gyms. He's going to be in people's faces, in people's households every day,
Starting point is 00:18:53 just like his show is. He's still going to have it on YouTube. And it sounds like they have creative controlling. Look, they might not be dropping fuck. They might not be dropping. Yeah, can't say fuck. The boys, they can't say fuck all the time. But if it's one word that really throws you off as a fan, it's like, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Right. Yeah. And the idea of, and you're right, too, like everybody's got, everybody can have a change your heart, never be so committed to something that you won't change your mind. The boys saw something Pat now has a, as a new daughter with us. I was trying to think of. Yeah, she's alive. Yeah, she's alive.
Starting point is 00:19:24 She's with us today. She's doing well. But it seems like a lot of stuff are changing their world. And like Taylor was saying, he's on game day and he's on everything else. in the ESPN universe, it sounds like there's a lot of infrastructure help that he's going to be getting with ESPN to where it takes a load off at his plate because he's running the business every day. He's hands on a lot over there at the Pat McAfee Show with all the boys. And he got all the boys paid. I'm sure they got paid. Yeah, they're going to have a...
Starting point is 00:19:46 Yeah, man. Again, they're going to have access to that roster. Not that he didn't all the time, but he's going to be very well, like, immersed into that universe. He'll, he might be, a couple years of the biggest name at ESPN. Might be close right now. Yeah, he might be close right now. I mean, he's got to be one of the top dogs there immediately. And he's always, he's always done stuff his way, man. You know, back to his high school story where he basically went and made $1,500 gambling, and then spent that $1,500 to go like to this camp. And then he earned a scholarship to West Virginia, became an All-American, goes to the NFL, does it his way in the NFL. Leaves, surprisingly leaves after whatever year it was. He left millions on the table. He just got done being a Pro Bowl punter. Did it his way. Goes with.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Barstool, ends up not working out with the boys at Barstool. He's worked with these credible sources all the way up until this $120 million deal with Fan duel. And now the boy's pivoting and he is on ESPN. Yeah. Which at one point in time, we were even like, when we started the podcast about, oh, man, it'd be sick to make a good dump tour of somebody like maybe Barstool wants or somewhere like, no, fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Changed up quick. Yeah, quick. It's amazing the things that are happening, too. It's like he's really just crushing the game. And the most impressive part is he's doing it his way. He's not, it seems like he's not doing anything that would take away from what his creativity is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:10 We've had a couple. It's been a long. It's been a long. He's water here with us today. Yeah. But yeah, man. And again, they have creative control. So again, if you're sacrificing the F word, a few F bombs, just to make a little bit more
Starting point is 00:21:22 cash and make sure that structures foundationally there day in and day out for your entire operation. I think that's a massive win, dude. Yeah, one of the core beliefs of this show is. is not say the word fuck. So it's all good because you can't say fuck. Yeah, it's all good. All good if you can't say fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:36 It's all right. We can say fuck. Yeah, we can talk about sucking dick and stuff like that. Yeah. They probably can't talk about sucking dick. You probably can't talk about those hypotheticals anymore. No. But that's not the premise of a show.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Yeah. And if they were happening to break up, if something were to happen, whatever, Pat and all of them get the show. Like, they have the IP. They have the intellectual property. They have the ownership. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Yeah. I wouldn't see a world where they wouldn't anyway. Yeah. I mean, they've, position themselves like at the end of the day, Pat McAfee and that crew, Pat is a pioneer and a trailblazer in this space of going from athlete to media and making it successful and showing guys along the way that it's possible to own your intellectual property, your creative control, and do it your way. Because again, Pat's alluded to it many times. The ESPNs of the world were
Starting point is 00:22:23 people that wouldn't even entertain a conversation with them back in the day. Good thing he didn't harbor all that hate the entire time. Well, maybe he did it. Now he may. He may Maybe he did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was allowing it to sneak out there a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:34 But I think a massive win for the boys over at the Pat McAvey show. Massive win. And for all of them, too. They're all eating. They are all eating. That's amazing. They are all eating. All the boys.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Yeah. Seems like Pac-Man Jones jumped in at the right time. Yeah. The right time. Kind of snuck in there, didn't he? Yeah. Yeah. Well, good for them, man.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Good for them, for sure. Are their headquarters still going to be in Indianapolis? They got to move that, right? Oh. I think they're staying there. So essentially nothing's changing. They're just getting on more TVs. Correct.
Starting point is 00:23:04 So what are we mad about, folks? A lot of people, a lot of the core fan base is upset because in their, you know, OGs. Yeah, the OGs are saying he's selling out because there are clips and stuff of Pat saying we will fucking never be with the ESPN. Yeah. That was probably him harboring the anger. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:20 I mean, look, the tune can change, man. No question. For the right price, the right resources, the right help. Anteating to the next level. The question is from here and out. And we said this when he did with fan duels. What's the next level? What is the next level?
Starting point is 00:23:33 I don't know. He's pinnacleed multiple times. He's summited multiple mountains. Yeah. What would be in the move? I don't know. You think he'll get a Disney movie? McAfee does need a movie.
Starting point is 00:23:46 I'm sure he'll get one way. He made an animated character. Yeah. He made an appearance on the, I was going to say San Diego, the Los Angeles Chargers video. Him and AJ, they made a little appearance in an animated version of themselves. But Disney, bro?
Starting point is 00:24:02 I mean, he could get himself a little movie. That'd be sick. With that pinnacle of this? I mean, that would just be icing on the cake. Yeah. Like, he's just setting up shop at the top of the mountain. Yeah, at this point, he's, yeah, he's at the top, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:16 What else is there to even prove? I don't know. You did it your way. You held up the middle finger to anybody along the way that you wanted to by doing it your way. And then you're essentially, you know, getting in bed with people that, didn't want you at first. And that wild.
Starting point is 00:24:32 And now having them smile, wanting you at, you know, hoisting you up at the, the upfronts, the Disney up fronts that he was at recently. That's just crazy. Now he's on stage. On stage murdering it. Does anybody feel like they share the opinion of the OG fans that feel like it's more of a sellout move? I don't feel like it's a sellout move.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Or if you could speak from the perspective of it. I'll speak from the perspective of it just because it feels like Pat is been leading this charge in New Age media where it's like the anti-ESPN where we're all kind of like paving our own lane and like how sports is broadcasted now and power was definitely on the forefront of that and so I can see where the resentment lies in his fan base where it's like you were like paving this new lane to be the new sports media and now you're giving power back to these old traditional systems of ESPN and that to me I'm I don't I'm not bothered by it at all, but it is like, damn, like, we don't want ESPN to be winning,
Starting point is 00:25:33 but we want Pat to be winning, so it's kind of a tough mix-up. Yeah, I can see what you're coming from. We're giving power back to this old system that we felt like we were conquering for a minute. Like, we were becoming the New Age media. So that, to me, is a little shaky. But I'm super happy for that whole crew. Shout out Foxy or boy, he's getting that bad guy. Yeah, the boy Foxy, all of them out there.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Jack, you made a good point, man. Like, it's like you don't want ESPN to win, but you want Pat to win. I think that's like he is resetting the bar because if you're pat you're like whatever that was you know
Starting point is 00:26:07 the friction that was thought of about not joining the machine right whatever you were pioneering against you did so well and you showed the success of it so well that now they they have to notice it
Starting point is 00:26:21 they have to notice you and even admit that this is the right way and we'll bring you on board because we got the deep pockets to do so. But it also Yeah, that is a, it's almost like a tip of the cap to ESPN for understanding that mainstream media is dying. It feels like in a hurry.
Starting point is 00:26:35 In a hurry. Yeah. Yeah. For ESPN than it is for Pat, at least in my opinion. Yeah. Yeah. Are you seeing it because of the fact that like because Pat is the new media? I think so because he had to fuck you money.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Like the four year one, the four year one 20th fan duel. That's one sponsor. Yeah, that's one sponsor. Right. You can assume what, 150 million plus, I guess for the operation. Like if it's certain infrastructure help, you could almost think, okay, how can you source that out or bring somebody else in to help with doing those things? But yeah, I mean, I can see that a little bit.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Like ESP, it seems like a big win for ESPN to obviously smart on them to identify that. Yes. Pat still gets to do it his way. But yeah, they, you know, the big guy still figured it out. Like, okay, we still got to, hey, guys, this is it. Let's stop fucking around. Bring him in. I'm actually to see what those other mainstream media companies do now because this is going to have success.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Pat's going to crush it on ESPN. Yeah. Oh, he's going to murder. In that roster? The suit and tie, like all this buttoned up, like super business, mainstream media is going down the drain in a hurry. Yeah, they're bringing a lot more. You got to have fun.
Starting point is 00:27:40 But the thing that Pat does, Pat has a good time, but he's also extremely educational on what they're talking about. Yeah. They talk facts. They do it in a fun, fun way where you feel like you're just hanging out the boys. Yeah. And again, Pat is a good personality. It does feel like they're getting those useful,
Starting point is 00:27:52 youthful personalities there. It's just like you hate to see the white collar side of a winning because there's a lot of good people. it seems like over at ESPN. Agree. I think along with that also is like, I think fans are scared that the show's going to change a little bit, like that's going to go a little corporate
Starting point is 00:28:07 because what made them so funny and so like relatable is they would just like shoot the shit and like talk about stuff that shouldn't be on TV. Now that they're like on ESPN, like they're going to have more regulations and everything and that's going to go away. But we don't know that. It's not knowing.
Starting point is 00:28:22 It seems like they have the creative control. But you see what Mitch is saying like that you have, that you see that. happening with who we're with Barstool, with the whole Mitzie thing. Like there's, there's, once you join a corporate world, well, I mean, it's a little different, but once you join the corporate world, there are things have to happen because of the world you now live in. And so there's things that, whether McAfee likes it or not, whether he does it or not, and it does,
Starting point is 00:28:45 it's not going to change the integrity of the show. There are things he now has to stay away from. Yeah. He is not allowed to do X, Y, and Z. Fuck is a word. And like they, they're always, maybe though. I say the subtle difference there is Penn owns Barstool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:57 ESPN doesn't own Maccavy. So if there's a disagreement, like Pat'll never be. I think he was saying it today. Yeah, he'll throw up the deucey. He says he's very comfortable in the pocket, taking whatever throws or going at the show, and he'll stand in the pocket and, you know, make the best decision for the show.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Yeah. I think that would like the main, it would just take away like the authenticity of the show, I guess, in a way. Yeah. Where they can just kind of go down these little wormholes. It's just like, oh, we're going to make fun of this guy for doing something that probably shouldn't be talked about on TV. Whereas on YouTube, they could do that.
Starting point is 00:29:29 And now that they have, like, again, like these regulations, they can't really have to stay in these certain lanes. It's not going to allow them to. Yeah. And like when they go on those little tangents, that's normally when it's like the funniest parts. But now that they can't do that, I don't know. I think it's going to be a more buttoned up show,
Starting point is 00:29:44 which obviously it has to be on ESPN. But I still think it's good. Maybe not. I don't know it's going to have to be. Like, even the tangents, they can do the tangents. They can go on that. If he has all creative control owns everything. and I'm sure
Starting point is 00:29:57 They won his show because of what it is. Pat has done, he did his fan duel deal. He didn't have an agent. He negotiated that deal and got out of that deal. I'm sure he probably negotiated this deal with ESPN.
Starting point is 00:30:07 And if he did that. Yeah, he said he represented himself. Yeah, ESPN's probably a little nervous to say, hey, you can and cannot do these things. You know, he's probably in there being like, this is what I'm going to do. This is how the show's going to go. And if they don't like it,
Starting point is 00:30:18 he can just dip again and go wherever you want. Somebody as massive as like ESPN and let's just say Disney too, like, you know, if you're bringing on something like that, I'm sure everybody at the highest of levels are combing through everything with this Pat McAfee's show. To see the number of the dollar for year. Yeah, like to know what they're getting in, to know what they're getting in bed with. It's like, it's like the drafts, like any team that thumbs through absolutely everything on a player to know that they're going to make the right decision.
Starting point is 00:30:44 I'm sure the same process happened with Pat. Like, in the day, you know what you're getting. That's what you want to bring in. Yeah. Like, I guess if I were to play Devils Advocate and go to your side, the only thing that maybe I would think is, you're so conscious of it now that maybe you subconsciously button yourself up a little bit more. But as far as the show format and everything,
Starting point is 00:31:03 the layout, the tangents and everything else, I don't see that going away. I just see the boys like maybe not saying fuck. And then moments that they do want to say it, they have a little bit around it. They'll have a bit around it. Oh, don't say it. We know what you want to say.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Yeah. We don't say it. Yeah. I agree with you. Like, they definitely like comb through everything. It's just. They'll come through everything. I just don't.
Starting point is 00:31:24 I don't want like ESPN. to change and everything for him. And like, if they get to that line, like, is ESPN just going to drop him? Or is Patrick just going to be like... He holds the power. I think it's great. And that's where it kind of goes back to what Jack's saying about the mainstream media winning. I don't, I think now that we're sitting here having this conversation on the bus, I don't think they won at all.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Well, they got him. They got him. But I don't think they won. They might have, though, because they made the correct move and getting him. Yeah, strategically. And a lot of people wanted him to... For their business, they made the correct move. But they know that that foundation, like, Pat can do whatever he wants.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Like, we can't tell him what to do. Yeah. At the end of the day, I think ESPN was sinking. And now they're not because of it. They laid off 700 people. Yeah, like things are not going well at ESPN. The only reason it's successful is they have these long-term deals with the different leagues. And those deals are running out.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And Pat is the one who's saving them. So when you hold the power in the name of Savior, you can kind of do what you want. In the name of Savior. Amen. Oh. Oh. I love when Hope just comes in and drops one. Absolutely, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Should we hit an ad? 29, 14 seconds in. Some Stella Blue coffee. Being a dad, Taylor, how essential is coffee? Dude, being a dad and having coffee is an essential thing in the world. Because when you wake up in the morning, it's been a long day. Maybe the kids have been up all night long. You don't know how you're to get through the day.
Starting point is 00:32:43 How are you going to get that workout to maybe take down that dad bodge just a little bit more? Coffee is possibly the most essential thing you can have. There's nothing better than having that first sip of coffee in the morning. It's like getting... Tell us what it's like. Tell us what it's like having that first sip. It's like getting your first kiss every single day, dude. Stella Blue Coffee supports pets, unlike Big Coffee, for every, for every purchase. A portion of the proceeds goes directly towards helping homeless pets.
Starting point is 00:33:07 That's a big deal. Dude, if you love coffee and your karma, why not have Blue Stella Coffee? If you're not about helping dogs, dude, then fuck you. Yeah, then don't watch this podcast. Fucking ridiculous. Anyway. You can get yours tomorrow. It's available on Stella Blue Coffee,
Starting point is 00:33:24 and next day shipping on Amazon Prime. Get your coffee now before the boys sell out. That's right. Go ahead. Oh, you can, listen, you can get those things. You can get there available in pods. You can get them ground and whole bean. Get yours today.
Starting point is 00:33:38 They can barely keep the coffee in stock. That's how fast Stella Blue Coffee is selling. Go to Stella Blue Coffee.com. Use promo code boys for 10% off your next. Spell that for them. Spell boys. Spell boys. B-O-Y-S.
Starting point is 00:33:50 You're going to use promo code boys for 10% off. Your next order. The perfect gift for Father's Day. We hate big coffee. You should, too, buy Stella Boo Coffee and support the boys. I thought there's going to rhyme at the end. And the dogs. Support the dogs, too.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Yeah, the dogs. What else is going on out there? I thought that was a good conversation. That was fun, boys. I appreciate your guys' perspective, too, just because it is very divided. Like, you see people, you know, Twitter just runs it up in the comments, dude, a lot of good, funny, humorous stuff out there,
Starting point is 00:34:20 but also, like, the boys are going to be, the boys are crushing it. Do you think now this maybe opens a window for someone like Ryan Clark to bring the pivot under an ESPN umbrella? I was thinking that too. Potentially, yeah. Do they now just start bringing everybody under their umbrella? Right. Like RC, we see he's with ESPN.
Starting point is 00:34:43 We see what you guys are doing over at the pivot. He's a room for a conversation here because they do really well over at the pivot. It seems like a rock on. Yeah, they just had the fucking rock on massive. the white whale. I was jealous, I will say, and I did watch the episode, and it was very good. Did you get that information from me? I sent it to him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:59 He just takes back, fuck. Yes. But they absolutely crush it. I do think that they have a show that would align in that universe. Absolutely. They have a stud producer in Alicia, who I know puts a lot of that show development together. And the boys, Fred, Channing, and Ryan, R.C.,
Starting point is 00:35:20 they crush it with their guests. So it seems like that would. be an alignment that could potentially make sense. Like if you're ESPN making moves like bringing in the Pat McAfee show, I don't see why a brand like the pivot wouldn't be on their radar, especially because they got R.C. in house already. Yeah, but if you're not ESPN and you see ESPN get Pat McAfee, your Fox or you're these other companies, you're like,
Starting point is 00:35:41 we got to go fucking get the pivot. Right, but they have, the tie is Ryan Clark is exclusive to ESPN. So that would give. Those deals can be broken. Yeah, very much, though. But it's like, you know, that's where if you hold the conversation about it for the right price, I mean, the pockets that Disney and ESPN and them got,
Starting point is 00:35:58 like, they can do whatever they want. He's in trouble too, though. Yeah. You see, uh... Maybe it's the boys. Maybe it's a big. They're looking. For us.
Starting point is 00:36:10 They're going to have to bring those bags to get the boys, though. We're not going corporate for fucking anybody unless the price is right. Nowhere. You'll never see us on some corporate. We will never be on mainstream media unless they pass. ever unless they pay. Yeah. Depends on much they pay.
Starting point is 00:36:24 They pay bags. Well, absolutely. If it makes sense, we will leave. Fucking Jelly Rolls on Joe Rogan podcast. What a massive climb by Jelly Roll. At one point when we first started this podcast, I was getting my truck done over at a place. I'm not going to say their name because no free shoutouts.
Starting point is 00:36:42 I was getting my truck done. They're like, hey, there's this guy named Jelly Roll who's a big fan of you guys who wants to go on your show. And he, like, showed me some songs. And it was back when Jelly was just rapping. I was like, yeah, man, for sure. In my head, I'm like, this guy.
Starting point is 00:36:53 I don't even know who this is. Like, talking about a white rapper from Nashville, Tennessee. I didn't know what to think of it. Jelly came on our podcast, and obviously he's been a great friend of ours since then for a long fucking time. But in the last 18 months, this man has gotten so fucking famous. Ever since he's been on bus with the boys. It's crazy. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:37:12 To the point where you ask Jelly, hey, can you do something? And this is actually, this is a compliment to Jelly. You would call Jelly, like, hey, can you do something? I'll Bob, I'll be there in five minutes. Now, he don't take him. you back all the time because that man's so busy. Yes, bro. And that's honestly a compliment because that man has just crushed it to be able
Starting point is 00:37:26 to go on the number one podcast in the world. What do you think ESPN will pay Joe Rogan? The number one podcast in the world. In the world. He's going to perform in New York to do something for American Idol. He got how many awards? What is it? The Grammys, the Oscars. What is it?
Starting point is 00:37:42 CMOs. The CMAs. Yeah. How many CMAs he get? Three. Yeah, I think so. Three of them biscuits. Could have got some Oscars. Damn, so close. Maybe next year. And he's holding up like the losers, the misfits, we are winning. And dude, he is, man.
Starting point is 00:37:57 I'm so fired up. He went on fucking Rogan. I mean, when he's been on here, he's talked about how, you know, not being accepted by mainstream, by CMA. As soon as they let him in, look what's happened. Taking over. Taking over. So the same thing as McAfee, right?
Starting point is 00:38:13 Like not being accepted and now of a sudden he's taken over. Yeah. This is a misfits podcast right now, dude. There's power and numbers. Power and numbers. Have you guys watched the episode? Have you guys put pot on? I'm only 10 minutes into it.
Starting point is 00:38:25 I'm about 10 minutes in as well. I'm hoping to hear a little bustling with the boy. I know. I was hoping to hear of the same thing. You know one part talking about Kill Tony and the chemistry between him and someone else? Like, you know what else is that chemistry? Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:38:37 I'm like, man, I'd rather be on these pods, like, stuff like that. I'm like, come on, come on. Do it. Do it. Oh, I know. Just riding the coattails till we get there, boys. We will get on that fucking show eventually. One day, man.
Starting point is 00:38:52 He got to. One day. I'm just ready for that email, that text, something. Yeah. Did you guys be interested in going on Joe Rogan? Excuse me? Bro Jogan? That's the response.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Excuse me? Don't ever ask that question again. When do we have to be there? But he did it, man. He's just crushing it. Oh, he's going to do stadiums. I hope this man does fucking stadiums. What's awesome is he will be on busing again soon, promoting.
Starting point is 00:39:15 What does he have? A documentary going out on Hulu? I think so. Was that right, Hulu? Okay, thank God. And his wife, Bunny. I think they're both coming on. So we're going to get Jelly Roll back on the bus.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Got to get him back on the bus. Hopefully sooner or later we'd love to talk about experience with Joe. And then obviously what he's been doing as well. God, he had to have been nervous, don't you think? Yeah, hell yeah. Got to. They're all smoking weed on that thing too. Man, I don't know how you don't get paranoid as hell.
Starting point is 00:39:44 All them people listening. I know. I don't know. But that's jelly. That's fucking jelly. That is his realm, dude. Now, if I was on Rogan and you just see him, just smoke a joint, you're like, yeah, what is Will trying to do right now? If Will's ever on Joe Rogan smokes a joint, just know that episode's ending in the next 15 minutes.
Starting point is 00:40:00 You are fucking something else, man, mouth wide open, dude. Dryest mouth in the world. Yeah. I've got to love it, though. He's fucking killing it, dude. He's doing a great job. There's headlines going around. People are speculating on Joe Burrow.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Has he came out and talked about the contract situation? Is that why people are speculating on? I'm not sure. I know Gronks said something. Yeah, I'm not sure it was. Bronc said it on what, on what show? No, what show, J-Pee? Grong said it on somebody that actually recently has been interacting
Starting point is 00:40:33 with me on Twitter. Her name's Kay Adams. Yeah. The Up and Adams show. Okay. Shout out up and Adams. Well, I'd have K on someday, too. Was she in our Tuesday, 8 p.m. live? She was not. Oh, I thought you were saying last night she was. Like, how do I get K in here?
Starting point is 00:40:46 Oh, yeah, no, that's exactly what I said. Yeah. How do I get K in here? My screen always freezes where it's like it doesn't say, I don't see the comments or who's in it. I thought she must have commented something. You were trying to get her in. No, but she replied to us on Twitter after. What did say? And then somebody did translate that in Google translate.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Yeah. And it said the translation was, I'm into you. That's just what the, that's what the translation said. Yeah? You got to put these references on the screen right now, too, for people to see. Yeah. Yeah, we got to get her on next Tuesday. next Tuesday we have to get her on post up with JP.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Yeah, she said to host, to mediate. She was down to do whatever. Host, me, eight, water girl. That's so funny, dude. JP shot that shot. He's been shooting that shot, dude. You got to respect.
Starting point is 00:41:34 You got to be exhausted. All the shots being shot. When you're chasing after something you're passionate about, you don't get tired. You don't need an alarm clock. But I guess, you got something, Jack? I was just going to ask you a question,
Starting point is 00:41:47 just what we're talking about. do you, if you're Joe Burrow, do you take this pay cut and be team-centered and try and be a contender every year? Or do you look out for number one and try and push Lamar and Jalen Hurts contract? Question. Is he, when is Joe's deal up to make it seem like they're speculating? Next year. After next year? Is he in his fifth year right now?
Starting point is 00:42:11 No, he's in his third. He's going into his fourth. So they probably decided to pick up his fifth year option, I would assume? and people are, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, they didn't. Right, like not pick up his fifth year option. I'm sure they're, I mean, you can give us some, you can give us some context on this, like,
Starting point is 00:42:27 guys who get their fifth year option picked up, you were one, right? Yeah, you got my fifth year option. But when you pick up the fifth year option, basically teams are, you know, if you're somebody they want to keep you around long term, like yourself, like Joe Burrow, is basically they're wanting to pick up your fifth year option
Starting point is 00:42:41 to start the negotiation process. Like, hey, we're going to pick this up, but we'd like to start these conversations sooner rather than later. The fifth-year option is essentially just, it has to get picked up in the off-season between your third and fourth year by like May 7th, we'll say.
Starting point is 00:42:54 And so when it's picked up, it's like, hey, we got you on contract for another year. Hopefully we can get something done before that. But knowing, it's like keeping you away from free agency. Because the closer you get to free agency, that's obviously where the bigger dollars are at. So I don't think fifth year option is going to matter much for Joe, because he's going to get that deal done. He's not going to put himself
Starting point is 00:43:11 in a Kirk Cousin situation where it's like, do we pay him? Do we franchise tag up? He's like top three quarterback in the league. It seems like he wants to stay in Ohio. Yeah. I mean, if you were him, you'd want to, too, he's got a fucking team around him. He's got a wide receiving core. His offensive lines gotten better in the off season.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Like, there's no reason why he wouldn't want to stay there. I think there's so many ways to get paid and also, like, be team friendly. Like, look at Mahomes' deal. That 10-year, half a billion dollars, that was a team-friendly deal. Right. And it was front-loaded every single year. And, you know, he'd be paying for, like, only a couple million during the season. Like, they could easily do that for him.
Starting point is 00:43:45 But there's a, like, very few guys in the NFL are able to be cake eaters. Joe is one of those guys that will be able to do both. Team friendly. So the team can go out and get players and then go win a Super Bowl and also get as much money as everybody else in the market. So I don't think that's going to be a problem at all. I think him's taking a team friendly deal is just, if he said that, it's probably just him trying to look good to
Starting point is 00:44:06 for everything else. Like, he's going to get paid. He's going to get paid so much money. Yeah. And it's going to be, and the team knows he's going to be there for long term. for the next 10 years. So there's really no reason why it wouldn't be a team-friendly deal. So Jack's pulling this stuff up, essentially.
Starting point is 00:44:23 They're talking about it seems like a foregone conclusion that he will sign a long-term extension with the Bengals before Cincinnati kicks off the regular season against the Browns on September 10th. And he's talking about Joe has said, I think there are a lot of different ways it can work out. We'll see how it all plays out. Right now, according to Spot Track, what is it? Spot Track?
Starting point is 00:44:44 No disrespect to the boys that spoke track No free shoutouts, though also. It looks like the six, the projected market is a six-year deal that would pay them an average of $54 million per season. If you're in Joe's position, would you, I mean, essentially take like, what are we trying to say here,
Starting point is 00:45:03 45 million a year so that way you can go on and get more players versus like a $54 million year? You can keep both of them as opposed to keeping one of them if he goes down to like 40 to $42 million. because they're both going to have contract deals come up in the next two years, both of them. Yeah. Man, yeah, what would you guys do? I think, I think me personally, like, if I happen to be Joe Burrow, and you were alluding
Starting point is 00:45:26 to it earlier as well, like, there's ways to do this. Like, he's going to be a cake eater in Ohio. Like, if you're Joe Burrow, like, be with Cincinnati. You're the entirety of your career. Maybe sign a deal like Patrick Mahomes. Like, take less money because you're going to make, like, $40 million a year. I know you can make 54. Like, it's always like, get as much as you can,
Starting point is 00:45:46 get every dollar you can because the NFL is like your career could end tomorrow type of thing. Like, it's always like the small man versus the big man. But when you're in a position like Joe Burrell, it's like money is never going to be an issue forever. And you want to, you're going to have the key, you have the keys of the city. Like if you're somebody who values like the championships and everything else, I'm not saying players don't do that.
Starting point is 00:46:07 But you know, like money's never going to be an issue ever. Like, fuck you, money's never going to be an issue ever. Like, fuck you money's never going to be. issue. And being in the state of Ohio, it's like, take whatever. Like, hey, how can we get a championship team surrounding us, surrounding me? Like, I'll do whatever I need to do. Like, what would you guys do? I think Joe Cool seems like that kind of guy being from Ohio, going to Ohio State, and then having to leave, and then getting drafted to the Bengals. He seems like the guy that's going to, yeah, take the state, like, of Ohio and wear it with pride.
Starting point is 00:46:41 Yeah. He just kind of ride it to the wheels fall off. Yeah. He's not a me guy. I guess the question is how do you want to do both? Right. That's what I'm saying. He can do both.
Starting point is 00:46:51 He won't have to worry about it. You can get it if you wanted it and still be team friendly. How's that? How so? Pat Mahomes signed a, so instead over, yeah, a 500 million dollar deal. Yeah, over six year deal. You just make it a longer deal.
Starting point is 00:47:06 You can keep that number in there and then bigger signing bonus. And then every year do a, restructure where you restructure 30 million of those dollars into a signing bonus and then he plays for 20 or 24 and now you've got all the money in the world to go pay those other guys. So like in that sense of like the way Brady was doing in New England like every year you're working with the team like basically in the office, okay how can we restructure my deal to help you guys you're making more money every year. Yeah. But you're also like doing it in a way because the team like Duburo for the Cincinnati Bengals has made the value of that team 10 times skyrocket.
Starting point is 00:47:39 So there's him. He is him. He really. is him. And you got Jamar chasing those guys coming up. What he needs to do is have those conversations with Jamar Chase and been like, listen, if I take a team friendly deal, like, I'm expecting you guys to also take that deal because Jamar Chase is going to be the number one paid receiver when he's up too. Yeah, I think where it's slightly different is knowing that Joe B's the quarterback. Like the franchise truly will stare at you like, hey, you are exactly who we want to build around. Yeah. It's like if a quarterback, it's like if Joe were to do that and knowing that you're coming up, like, hey, I'm taking a team friendly. I'm going to need you to.
Starting point is 00:48:11 You're like, I think the longevity and the way an offensive lineman and basically every other position has to look at their careers a little bit differently than if you're a quarterback sitting in the fucking thrown. You know what I mean? I agree with that. It's like, hey, Joe, I feel you. I appreciate you taking the team friendly, but you almost want to take a team friendly just so Cincinnati can do whatever it takes to retain those guys.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Right. Because they are big time assets. You know what I mean? Yes. It's like, if I'm the quarterback and I think, I'm like, hey, I took one. Like, I'm going to need you to kind of shave the top a little bit for you. You're like, I mean, fuck, man. You're like, I get.
Starting point is 00:48:38 You're Joe Burrell. You're like, yeah, you're Joe Burrell. Your endorsements are going to be more than I'm making. He's going to make $10 million a year in endorsement. But if Joe is taking a team friendly, why would Jamar have to take some off the top? I guess you're just thinking about keeping everybody. Keeping everybody and acquiring new assets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Because you want, he's got, they got a team now, but they haven't gotten over the hump with the AFC championship. I know. That AFC is crazy. I mean, this is fucking NFL is crazy. But it seems like the AFC is just deep and has all of the quarterbacks. Mahomes. Allen. It's just crazy.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Who's old boy with the Chargers? Herbert. Herbert. Your boy, Justin Lawrence. J.L. Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Jerry's not. Jerry's not. Jerry's not. Will Levis? Will Levis? Are you seen a couple of the throws that Titans put out on Twitter? He's thrown like Aaron Rogers? He's thrown like Aaron Rogers?
Starting point is 00:49:32 I think it's a Fogazi right now. I think that's all fucking show. Like you see him like in the pocket. 7-07, he rolls out, turns his back towards the line of scrimmage and tosses it over and then 83, whoever the fuck that guy is. Makes a nice little catch. Yeah, we need to know that guy's. Puts it right in the, just right in the basket.
Starting point is 00:49:48 You look at that and you go, oh, fuck yeah, dude, we're so in. One of the Twitter comments. One of the Twitter comments under that video was like, there was no one blitzing. Why is he scrambling? Yeah, exactly. They're probably on the back going, run, run! Brave, they need to, like, plan and draw up a play that just makes it look insane and just let
Starting point is 00:50:04 them clip it just so it can they control everybody. Go and clip that. Yeah. Looks back. at AP and the boys. He could be the second coming of Aaron Rogers. That's just what people are saying. It could be. I hope he is. Yeah. I hope he is. But OTA's practice, brother. It's
Starting point is 00:50:18 OTA's practice. Yeah. Like who fucking knows what's really going to happen there? Because I had a thought earlier on the Oh yeah, it was Grunk. Because Gromk was saying how Tom, he's like, Tom was taking. Now you know Gronk, where he can fluff any conversation but he's like, Tom was taking like 50% pay cuts. Like maybe Joe doesn't take that much
Starting point is 00:50:34 but he takes a little bit. But I just thought it was funny how he's basically saying like, you know, basically played for minimum. Yeah, making 20 a year. That's my thought. Tom was making, he was like the not even top five big quarterbacks for the longest time. But he had that Giselle money in there. And that man's just building asset after asset.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Like he's got his clothing brand, which he did send us. We got the box. The Brady brand is here. But at what cost? I know. The Brady brand sent us stuff and then Michigan season dees us on our Michigan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We thought we were up to something sweet, dude.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Up to something sweet. And then there's always another hurdle to get over. Yeah. Michigan. Michigan, bro. You guys got to let us do shit, man. Come on. That was a tough moment.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Like, hey, guys started. I saw you go through a big fucking tough moment on Monday with what's his name committing to Georgia. Oh, yeah. I thought right then there, Nebraska's dead. You guys went from six and six to five and seven. Look, it ain't over. What's a commitment even mean these days? What's a commitment mean these days until they're signing on campus?
Starting point is 00:51:34 Got to get them back. You got to get them back. Get him back for the Boston Bowl. That's what I'm saying. Like, I'm not going to say a whole lot yet. I don't want to put negative energy out there because I do think we still have a shot. You never know.
Starting point is 00:51:44 But that was a massive fit. When he goes quarterback Dominic Raola, Dylan. Dominic is his dad. Yeah, yeah. Dylan Raola, I thought for sure he was about to say, like, University of Nebraska.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Yeah. But then I should have known. It's a good thing that he's with Georgia right now. He's going to take it. The headlines are there. It's going to make it so much better when he decommits and goes to Nebraska. No doubt, no doubt.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Like, if you want to be the number one player and go to the best team in college football, like, what's that say? Yeah. Big fish, big pond? Yeah. You just have a big fish in a small pond, bro. Start eating them little blue gills.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Be a legend. Be a legend. Be a legend at a place like Nebraska. God. You'd just be another one at Georgia. Yeah. You'll just be like, what was the quote? Like, you want a natty, sweet.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Who hasn't? Yeah. You know what I mean? You want to bring a program back to prominence? Welcome to Nebraska. It would be a nice little change up is if he went to Michigan. Be cool, right?
Starting point is 00:52:41 That would. Man, if you would have said Michigan instead of Georgia? My knees, bro. God. Just look up to the sky. Just dub after dove. Man. Yeah, it's going to be years before Michigan
Starting point is 00:52:52 or loses to Nebraska. Years. I don't know. It could be this year. It could be people are saying, people are saying upset alert. I got my squad back there. Anyone who puts on the red
Starting point is 00:53:04 during the blessing bull knows, too. they're just dying with you because you need somebody. Who's your squad? Who was it last year? It was JP, Jack, Garrett, were you? I am not on your squad this year. What's that? I'm not on your squad this year.
Starting point is 00:53:19 We don't fucking need you. And guess what? We don't fucking need you. I'm going to say it again. I'm not on your squad. I don't care if you want to hear it or not. I'm not on your squad. Don't come on the show next week.

I'm looking at you, Mitch. He was the one guy with me on Nebraska. Yeah, but what happened? You failed miserably, brother. So why not join some winners?
Starting point is 00:53:48 Jack, who's team you want? You already know. I'm on the team for whoever is at the rail on Saturday night in Lincoln, Nebraska. That's my squad right there. Gee, I got you. I know that, right, gee? Yeah. Got you right, brother? I mean Jack's loyalty belongs to the streets of Lincoln I used to have a little bit of a tie to the blue but our boy doesn't work there anymore He doesn't

Starting point is 00:55:58 Bill. Oh, yeah. So, um... So Will and I were flying from New York to, uh, Nashville about six months ago. And I was on a connecting flight from Chicago to Nashville. We went from New York, Chicago, Chicago, Nashville. And on this flight, I'm sitting in the aisle seat and the guy next to me, he's all sitting in an aisle seat.
Starting point is 00:56:17 I'm not going to say his name. And we end up talking. He does a lot of entrepreneurial stuff. Works with guys like Tony Robbins and allegedly, Mark Wahlberg, allegedly, and Pitbull, allegedly. So after the flight, he's like, hey, can I get your number? Usually I don't like giving out my number to people because I don't know the credibility or, you don't just, I don't like giving up. Anyway. So like a few months goes by and this guy's like, hey, this guy named Kyle is having a birthday party in Cabo. He's spending seven figures on his birthday. You should come. You should meet these guys. It'll be a great networking opportunity for you. So I decide that I'm not going to go. I've been traveling a whole bunch. Spring tour just finished. I need some time with my family and stuff like that. I tell my wife, my wife looks at me like I'm a fucking idiot and goes, you need to go on this trip. Go get coffee with this guy. So I go sit down with the individual. We have coffee at the well by Lipscomb. and he's like, hey, this fucking, this is going to be a wild event.
Starting point is 00:57:10 There's going to be people here that from a networking standpoint that are like, we're talking about three commas in the bank account type guys. So he's like, you need to go. So I essentially went on a blind date for 48 hours to Cava San Lucas. Stayed at the Cape, beautiful place. Nice little hotel. They had a nice little infinity pool looking over the ocean. It was cool.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I got to meet these guys that are just well-rounded dudes. Like down-to-earth guys. that also do really well in business. So I had the opportunity to meet with them and hopefully, you know, if something happens in the future with them, we'll see, we'll see where that goes. But I end up going to this birthday party. It ends up not being Kyle's birthday party.
Starting point is 00:57:48 It ends up being his brother Kevin's birthday party. The family is the Washington family. If you want to go and look them up, Kyle Washington. George Washington. And Kevin Washington. No, I don't think there's any relation to George Washington. There is... The Washington family.
Starting point is 00:58:01 What I'm told is that this birthday party was anywhere between $2.5 and $5 million. There's an area in Cabo called Chalino Bay. On one side near the water, there's a bunch of nice restaurants like clubs and hotels. And on the other side of the highway is desert for
Starting point is 00:58:17 forever. Now, they decided to make a party in this desert. I walked in. They imported grass. There's grass imported. There was a drone show, which I'll give you guys clips of this show. It was incredible. This guy, Kevin, owns the
Starting point is 00:58:33 most complete Tyrannosaurus rex in the world. What? Yes. So, like, the drone show was like, it was like drones doing this cool shit. Then all of a sudden they made a figure of a T-Rex. Then out of the T-Rex came a dollar sign and the T-Rex eats the dollar sign. It was crazy. Oh, I thought we were talking about, like, bones.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Like a display of a Tornosaurus Rex. No, no. That's what he owns that. Like Jurassic Park. Like a real, like a real dinosaur, a real dinosaur, the bones put together. He owns the most complete one in the world. They have like That's insane
Starting point is 00:59:04 They have like the second largest Bitcoin mining company In the entire world Like it was just It was crazy You're sitting there And so I'm walking But like it was a cool party
Starting point is 00:59:12 Probably 300 people there at this party And there were some big fucking names there But it was very L.A How big name drop? Name drop A guy named Bill Gates I don't know if you guys have heard of him He was at that party
Starting point is 00:59:24 Billy G G was at that party Went up to him, shook his hand Did you ask him Did you ask him that? I literally shook his hand He said hello My name's Taylor and I walked away.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Bustin with the boys. He scares me a little bit. He's too rich. And then I fucking, I go towards the back to the back right corner. There's like a little bar set up area. And there's, listen, let's call a spade of spade. There were some beautiful, beautiful people at this party. And I'm like, you know, when we're out, I'm out there socializing going around talking to a bunch of people and goose people.
Starting point is 00:59:55 And I would literally go up to these people. But hey, what's up? What are you guys from? And the cold shoulders you would get. Really? It was very LA. It was very like if you're not, if we don't know exactly who you are,
Starting point is 01:00:05 we don't want to talk to you. And that was, I was like, man, this is, it wasn't necessarily for me. But go to the bar. And I see this figure
Starting point is 01:00:13 that's like as tall, a little bit shorter to me, but like his head's sticking out like my head's sticking out. And I look over Vince Vaughn. Vince fucking Vaughn is at this part. And I think to myself, do I fucking even say anything to this man.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Please tell me he's coming on busing. So I look over. I grab a drink at the bar and I look over. there's like 15 people talking to Vince. And like it's not like 15 people are talking with Vince. People are all sitting there waiting for their opportunity to talk to Vince. Like he's standing here. They're all kind of horseshoot around him, looking at him, looking for the next available
Starting point is 01:00:42 chance to say a word to him. So I think to myself, there's no way I'm getting into that mix. Like if an opportunity comes up, it comes up. I get to there. I'm at the party at like 10.30. It's like 12, 15. I'm like, I need to go home. I'm going to get a flight in the morning.
Starting point is 01:00:54 I have to go to Arizona for a couple of meetings. So I, I start, I go wait. And the people are like, hey, cars are to take about 15. minutes. And it's fuming in the back of my head. Like, fuck. Vince Fawn, like, and I've been around him one time before. The Preds were playing to Blackhawks, and he was at the arena and I was with some guy from CA and he was walking by as I was walking by. And I looked at all. I was fucking Vince Fon. He's like, I do want to meet him. And I said, no. I don't want to impose and be like that fucking guy. But here I am sitting here waiting for this bus. In line. In line. I'm like,
Starting point is 01:01:24 man, fuck this. So I walk back. He ends up being with like three other people, three other guys. One guy is a guy that I met. He and I were talking. during the little drone show. He was actually enjoyable to be around. So I walk up and that's kind of like my way in. I put my hand on the guy's shoulders. I was like, hey, brother, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Like, kind of picked up where we left off in the last conversation. I look up. I see if it's funny. I go, hey, man. I don't let you know. My name's Taylor. I'm a big fan of you. I've been watching my whole life.
Starting point is 01:01:45 I love what you do. He looks to me right in the eyes and he goes, hey man, it's really nice to meet you. As soon as our hands leave each other, his two boys in the left and right of him, no joke. Turn their backs to me, put their shoulders together and escort him away from me.
Starting point is 01:02:00 It was the weirdest, most uncomfortable experience ever. I was like, yo, I just, I just, I guess I'll go then. I didn't say nothing else. So I went back to the bus and I was fucking rattled by.
Starting point is 01:02:16 I was like, what is that about, dude? What was that? I texted you the next morning and I was like, weirdest experience my life. I said, I can't wait to hear. And here we are. I know, I know. That is tough, man.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Like, that's a... It was a weird deal. Like, what? Like, what, he didn't do nothing. He was nice. His boys, like, you know, you talked about all those people who shoot around him. Like, I'm sure that's Vince Vaughn's life everywhere, like a lot of those
Starting point is 01:02:42 headlisters. Got to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm not willing to allow my hero to. Yeah. Like, maybe Vince fucks with it, right? But maybe his boys, like, they might have no clue. And they just hear that, oh, somebody who's watched him his whole life. He probably loves him.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Like, this is the drill that Vince is probably, we've all talked about. Yeah. I was big times. but I'm going to say by his boys, not by him. And one thing, too, when I was at the bar, I looked at him and he was looking at me. And there was a couple times where, like, I would look over and he was looking. And I'm like, are we boys?
Starting point is 01:03:15 Are you trying to talk? Are you trying to hang out? Because I'm trying to hang out, brother. I'm trying to be boys with you. I almost wonder if, like, if you took a Steve Byrne angle, like, if that would have worked. I know, but you know, name dropping's tough. I should have.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Yeah, but Steve's like, From Steve, like, they're like really good friends. Like if somebody was talking to me and I had no clue they were and they brought you up, like there's such a common friend there because, you're my boy. Maybe. Where it's like, oh, you know Taylor, you know JP or something like that, and you're like almost ready to hit it off about something else. Sorry, JP's who I looked at.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Like, I've had people come up. Right. Like where you call, you know, you've had, I've had like randoms come up before and then they have, they say one of your guys's names, like, oh, I'm boy. with Mitch or, you know, when your family came up and you don't know who they are and they're like, oh, I'm Mitch's so-and-so. And then you're just like, oh, shit, nice to meet you. Guard goes down a little bit.
Starting point is 01:04:07 Yeah, guard goes down. Okay, we have a really good friend in common. Yeah, dude, it was a tough ally took. I'm a good friend part. But I got to call Steve. I got to call Steve and figure out that situation because I'm not. And the thing is, the guy's a sports fan. He's a massive sports fan.
Starting point is 01:04:21 He's a regular guy, allegedly. Yeah, they have that media company, right? I believe so. I forget what it's called. Yeah, I just went in there. unprepared. You know, victorious four years win. It sounds like you said a good, you said said a good line. You were compliment of
Starting point is 01:04:37 yeah, compliment who shook his hand, but it just took a-respective crap, respect to, yeah. It took such a weird turn in such a fast way. There was really no way for me to get back out of it. Yeah. It was like, hey, you can see your head just probably gets in a blender. Yeah, and I was like, fuck, I just got to go. And I came back and they're like, you just missed the bus. It's 15 more minutes.
Starting point is 01:04:53 So I had to sit there and wait for another fucking bus to leave, dude. Get back at like one o'clock. Sad. went to sleep and fucking Taylor was on that weather half the whole night
Starting point is 01:05:07 at the party bro it was kind of like that he's gonna be in the 60s next week it was kind of like that who else so Bill Gates Vince Vaughn Bill Gates Vince Vaughn were the only two that I really recognized
Starting point is 01:05:20 Kyle the guy that I was initially going to meet he's a cool guy he'll be out here in August for like some sort of race not NASCAR but a different race he's like big into cars and motorcycles and all that
Starting point is 01:05:30 so we had a good conversation Good dudes. Was Will Smith there? And Will Smith was not there. John Legend? I, dude, if they were there, I would tell you. I'm just trying to jog the old memory. You jog the memory a little bit.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Yeah. But it was a cool experience to see. But it was very L.A. Elon Musk? Musk wasn't there. Musk was there like a night later. You see he was in Cabo? Uh-uh.
Starting point is 01:05:53 He was at a club doing the fucking Donald Trump. Fucking dance move. In Cavo. Yeah, dude, Cabo San Lucas. most beautiful place in the world. He had some good photos. Yeah, the pictures you put on Twitter were... Does his breakfast in the morning.
Starting point is 01:06:10 Sitting there. I love Kablo so much. I go back right now. So rate the trip. Rate the trip for us. Good group of guys that I was with for most of the time. Had a lot of fun with them. A lot of insight into a different world
Starting point is 01:06:25 that I've never seen before. Obviously, the party was very cool. but very L.A. Very standoffish people there. Obviously, the Vince Vaughn thing was just a nuclear disaster in my own head. I'd give it a 4.45. Sounds about right.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Yeah. Sounds like the right rating. It's tough, man. Did you tell the boys about the whole Vince Fawn? Like the crew that you were with? Are you guys like, yeah, I got to tell you this story? No. So what happened was the guy that I was with the,
Starting point is 01:06:56 originally, he and I were leaving together. And I was like, I got to go fucking do this one thing real quick. So I walked away. The Vince Vaughn thing happened to me. And I turned and looked and they were all kind of waiting for me. Like, do you get it done? You meet your hero? And I was like, let's go home.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Let's fucking go home, boys. It was tough. It was tough sledding out there. We're going to be aight. Yeah. Always going to be all right. You still got the Vince falling vibes. Just because you got big time, don't mean?
Starting point is 01:07:19 You ain't got the Vince following vibes. No, I watched a dilemma last night. I thought, brother, it could have been us. Yeah. You're just looking for conversations. Like, you know, what keeps him engaged? He, you, Fuck gives him engaged.
Starting point is 01:07:32 You're watching film on Vince Vaugh. All right. So this is what he likes. Yeah. Doesn't like when his friends get cheated on. Got that. All right. Move on.
Starting point is 01:07:40 But yeah, man, that was essentially it. That was the whole entire thing. Should we do tear talk? What kind of tier talk do we have this week? Should we do an ad? Should we? The last ad? Should we pay the electric bill?
Starting point is 01:07:54 Let's pay the electric bill with more labs. I don't know about you, boys, but I can't drink near as much as I could in college without feeling like shit. Even just a few drinks these days has me feeling like shit in a world where we're being pulled in a thousand different directions. You can't afford to miss a day. More labs created a nifty, life-saving drink called morning recovery that helps prevent rough mornings after drinking. Similar drinks have existed in Korea for a long time, for a long time. But there were no options like it in the U.S. that worked. So their founder quit his job at Tesla.
Starting point is 01:08:32 I shit you not at Tesla. Quit his job to fix that and create a morning recovery drink called just that morning recovery. It's super simple. All you have to do is drink one morning recovery while you drink or before you go to bed. It contains super herbs. We're talking Korean super herbs. Vitaments and minerals that help you bounce back, that help you bounce back after that night in the streets at the rail. and a proprietary blend of electrolytes that rehydrate you.
Starting point is 01:09:00 You guys have heard of electrolytes. They're really, really good for your body. So you can have fun at night and feel good the next day like a real human, like you did when you were 21. They conducted a clinical study, get this, boys, and users of mourning recovery felt up to 80% better than those without morning recovery across various symptoms after drinking. Go to more labs.com.
Starting point is 01:09:25 that's morelabs.com and use code boys, B-O-Y-S, for 20% off your first order of morning recovery. Yeah, we can get some morning recovery, boys. You're about to go out for a toe? You about to go on a bender soon? Yeah? This weekend? Yeah, we got to test the product. Like, let's see how hard we really can go.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Up to 80%. We need to have them packed for when we go on our trips, like spring tour or something. be a good one there You have fall tour maybe Next week More labs get on board Um Yeah what kind of
Starting point is 01:10:09 Should we do shoutout No free shoutout I'm down We do pet peeve Another pet peeve if we want We can do whatever we fucking want to boys We ain't we ain't owned by ESPN Yeah we can do whatever the fuck we want
Starting point is 01:10:19 We can do whatever we want Do you do um Do you do pet peeve of the week on Monday We did but we can do it again If you got one I got one You want to do shout on for show What vibe do you feel?
Starting point is 01:10:30 What vibe you feeling? I'm feeling pet peeve with the week right now. Okay. My story. Okay. Do you want to start it off? What's that? The pet peeve?
Starting point is 01:10:37 Yeah. My pet peeve of the week goes to individuals I think they're better than you. All right? And you fucking go up, shake somebody's hand and introduce yourself to somebody. Let's have a conversation, dude. Let's take three to four minutes and enjoy that whole thing. You don't got to walk away. You shepherded it away from me.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Not saying any individuals. I'm just saying sometimes if that ever happens to you, that's my pet peeve. you open the door now like anybody who comes up and wants to shake your hand. Remember this clip. Yeah, I was going to say. I'd like to change my pet peeve of the week. Think about, you know, there's a, there's a couple times in that spring tour to where we're like, hey, we got to figure this out. Yeah, but I was still very nice to everybody.
Starting point is 01:11:14 And then I booked it. Second, there was an opening. Yeah, well, he seems like you. Fucking Jake's. Crazy, dude. It was just, it was worse in the fall. There was that one guy in the fall, but it was, there was a lot of those one guy. Colorado.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Yeah. Colorado, man. I don't know what happened with you guys there. After the show... I felt like the whole squad. I felt we were all separated the entirety of the time. Usually we all like to stick together a little bit.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Have a couple drinks and enjoy each other's company. Like, hey, good show. What could we do better? We went upstairs, had that conversation, came downstairs. They divided and conquered us quick. Yeah. I was by myself for three hours.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Yeah. Anytime I made my way to even one of you guys, I'd seek one of you guys out, get over there and then some form of fashion, there'd be separation. And again, like... I want to retract. my pet peeve of the week. I'm retracted. It's retracted now. It doesn't count anymore.
Starting point is 01:12:09 I don't have a pet peeve of the week. I'm sure there's something in there. Yeah, probably. Pet peeve, when you feel like you have to change your fucking mind on something. I don't know if it's a pet. It's a pet peeve. I had that video go out of that person not turning left in that BMW. And I didn't look at all the comments because there were so many comments, but the people that still don't understand to get into the middle to turn left that were truly trying to fight. that. Like, I guess my pet peeve goes through dying on a hell not worth dying on. You know? Like, listen, just take a fucking left. You get out there. Well, what if there's an ambulance and all that? Well, fucking those cars will stop. You quickly get out of the way. You know? So just don't die in a hell you need to die on. Just take the fucking left.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Yeah. Yeah, that was good wording. I was like, is he going to do the turning left at the stop playing? The same one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a big one. People, That is a big one, dude. Yeah, because I was seeing some of the comments too, and I'm like, people just don't fucking get it. People just don't get it. Yeah, too many comments. Gee, you got a pet peeve?
Starting point is 01:13:24 Get some shit off your chest, man. My pet peeve, and honestly, it's my own self. It's my own doing. But anytime I fucking misplace my keys or my wallet or fucking forget to take out the trash or something, and I just verbally assault myself mentally. But I get so fucking mad. when I misplace something.
Starting point is 01:13:43 And so that's my pet peeve. My pet peeve is, I guess, myself. But it's like when I forget to do things or misplace something, I get so mad at myself. And I feel like that, that level of negative energy that goes on internally, you know, qualifies for a pet peeve. I could piggyback off of that.
Starting point is 01:14:01 I don't know if it's a pet peeve, but along the lines of something that I do to myself that, you know, then causes, yeah, like that frustration, like whether it's like I just like lolly gag instead of getting to A to B. Like if I wake up and like procrastinate. Yeah, but it's not even like that. It's just kind of like I don't even know how to explain it. But an example would be waking up and then not being efficient with my time.
Starting point is 01:14:27 And then kind of like your tweet the other day wishing you could get that time back. Yeah, dude, that was a nice little quote I saw. I was like, what is it? Lose an hour in the morning, spend the rest of the day thinking about it. Yeah. So I guess like I don't know if that is. I don't know if that is a pet peeve, but that would be along those lines of something that I need to work on. It's a pet peeve. It's a pet peeve.
Starting point is 01:14:49 Nothing wrong with sticking that hand. I'm like, yeah, I fucking hate myself when I do this. I love a good verbal assault. JP, what do you got? You deserve it, man. Sometimes you give it to yourself. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I got one.
Starting point is 01:15:04 I, my pet peeve of the week, part two, is adults that don't, know how to use silverware properly. I can't stand when I'm seeing an adult cutting their steak and they're holding their fork like this and they're cutting it in front of the fork instead of behind it. And I just wonder like, how did you grow up? How did nobody ever stop you? Who are your friends? And like who, like, why do you just continue to let this go on? Yo, I don't think I've ever seen somebody cut in front of the fork. Or even maybe sometimes not in front of the fork, but I guess holding the fork like this, I see amongst some people around my age, and I'm like...
Starting point is 01:15:44 Turn it down like that? Hold it like a caveman. Oh, yeah, you got a hold like this. Yeah, exactly. It's not hard. Put your finger behind that. What is it in front of the fork? Is this in front of the fork, or is this... Yeah, yeah. Because if I hold the fork like this,
Starting point is 01:15:56 then it's like swooped down like that. So like cutting like this. Behind the fork. On the back side of the fork. I'm with that 100% because I was thinking, maybe I am one of those people. But prices averted. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:11 That's, that's mine. Solid one. I have one on silverware, but I'll save it. I know what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Did I do that TV the other day? You're like, did you do that?
Starting point is 01:16:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Mine's also self-inflicted, but that would be last night. It's when you get all your belongings. You go upstairs and you're ready to close the door and you're not coming back out to the morning. And then you realize that you left laundry in either the washer or the dryer. Oh, that happens. with me too, bro.
Starting point is 01:16:45 It's really bad if you leave it in the washer. That's how to me last night. I realized I left it in the washer and hadn't dried it yet. But it go down and now I'm like, now I have to wait up for another like hour and 20 minutes and go back down and fold it. So obviously I just left it in the dryer until this morning. Oh, I do that all the time. But yeah, that, that.
Starting point is 01:17:04 When you're-dryer means execution. When you're ready to just retire to your chambers and then you realize, fuck, I've got to walk back downstairs again. Just, it hurts. Hey, that's a good one. Literally, it was either yesterday and the day before, I accidentally, I was going to go from the washer. I put it all in the washer before I went to work out. I was like, oh, when I get back, I'm going to put it in the dryer, and I'm literally going to execute this thing to perfection.
Starting point is 01:17:29 Forgot to move it to the dryer and left it in the washer all day long. So then you get to the point like, damn, I'm going to have to rewash these again. And then I'm going to go to bed and I'm going to, you know, forget again. Because I don't do the whole, okay, now I got to. gotta stay up an hour, hour and a half. If I'm like, okay, I'm about to take this L, I'll let it sit there again for a whole another day and then I'll reset tomorrow. GBOT tomorrow morning.
Starting point is 01:17:52 First day in the morning, GVOT. Mitch, what do you got? My pet peeve of the week goes to, it happens every time I get in my car. I plug my phone in to, like, start playing some music or something, and then it goes straight to Apple music. Bro. I'm a Spotify guy. It goes straight to Apple music.
Starting point is 01:18:15 and the first song it always plays. It's ABC by Jackson 5. Fire song. But you hear... Yes. I just hear it, as soon as I plug my phone in and it just drives me insane
Starting point is 01:18:28 because now I hate the song. Yeah. So, like, I just wish you could make it go straight to Spotify. I don't know if you guys have any tips. That should have in my truck
Starting point is 01:18:37 and the only thing I have on Apple is the fucking podcast. So I would unplug it. It was the Aaron Rogers podcast for a month. I would incrementally get like two minutes at a time. God. It just fucking pissed me off to hear Will's voice every time I get in my truck.
Starting point is 01:18:52 I bought one song on Apple Music and it was in college and it was the theme song or that sad song for The Warrior. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Heard her about today. About today. I just that drop every fucking time. That would be the song they'll play. And then I don't know if Apple, I don't know if somebody bought the album of U-2 on my phone.
Starting point is 01:19:13 And it came. it came with it on the phone. But you too would be fucking showing up a bad, man, I'm about to get clown for this if I got some of my homies in the car. Yeah, I mean, they got some, they got some bangers. But I think more of like listening solo,
Starting point is 01:19:28 they got some bangers. Like Nickelback back in the day. No, see, I've always been comfortable with Nickelback. Yeah, see, I... But I know what you mean like that. I feel you two has like the same thing as people feel... Oh, whoa, whoa, ooh-wick? Nickelback is like they already said them the most hated on.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Yeah, but I think that's fake, man. Yeah, obviously it's fake. They sell out arenas. Yeah. I get them back. When are they coming back? August 1st, man. Well, I'm back August 1st.
Starting point is 01:19:55 We need to get a... We need to get... We at this point, we do need to get anybody on this podcast. We've had a couple and they've dropped out. We're not going to keep that relationship going. Yeah, we want someone drop out today. Literally, yes, bro. Two hours before we went on.
Starting point is 01:20:12 When you sent that text, man... I can't imagine what you were going through. I was defeated just because the other one backed out yesterday that was supposed to be coming on Friday to say for next week. And then Vegas happened. Yeah, Vegas. We're going to go out to Vegas. Five good pods. We missed.
Starting point is 01:20:28 If you're interested in coming on bussing with the boys, please let us know. We've been, we're in a bit of a drought. I hope you guys are enjoying it. And we're at the drought with us. And again, let's give some context of the drought. It's because we've been, we, the goal was like pouring more into vlogs and everything else. And then we did the two a week. and we kind of gotten a little bit of a pickle because we've traveled to a couple different spots.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Had no time. They really sit down and get guests. Yeah. And every guest is like, seems that they can all do June. Seems like our dunes are really going to be full up. Right. Because like, then when we're like, okay, we got to get, we got to get ballplayers back on. Everybody's in OTAs.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Yeah. So you got to find time to either get them out here on a weekend or travel to them during the week and just, you know, we've got ourselves in a pickle. But once we get back to June when we're at our regular programming and going once a week, I think we're going to fucking... Not that we're not... It's not that we're not doing... Yeah, not that we're not going, we're just kind of like, you know...
Starting point is 01:21:20 Mm. It's all good, though. It's not as bad as we think. No, no. It's never as bad as you think. It's ever as good as you think, and it never as bad as you think. Give us another good quote, JP.
Starting point is 01:21:35 Or Jack. Jack's got a lot of good quotes up in the Noggin. I thought you're about to drop something. I said, here he goes. Master Splinter. Yeah. Shout out, no free shoutout. We got to do shout out, no free shout out, man.
Starting point is 01:21:51 We can't forget our bread and butter, our positive vibes. Just drop in the comments, like who you'd like to see on the bus. Drop in the comments who you'd like to see on the bus. Need you to get a shout out. Go ahead, Mitch. Sounds like you got something. Bring some positivity to this bus, the energy bus. Mine's a feel good one.
Starting point is 01:22:11 John Gordon. John Gordon, right? He wrote the book, Energy Bus. Too young for that, man. So I went home this past weekend. A bit mature. And my shout-out, no-free shout-out, goes to when you see your dog for the first time, you haven't seen them in a long time. And they are just so excited to see you.
Starting point is 01:22:32 They're like, their whole body shaking. Their tails, like, isn't enough. Yeah. And, like, they immediately just get on their back and, like, you just rub your tummy and their tummy and stuff. And, like, it's just seeing your dog again. What else you do with your dog? But so my shout-o-no-frey shout is seeing your dog after a long time. Get that dog.
Starting point is 01:22:56 If a dog miss you so much, they start whimpering a little bit. What a feeling. Just peeing all over the floor. Yeah. Who's this? Jackie? This goes out to our golfers.
Starting point is 01:23:10 Buy our golf merch. But it is when whether you are at the end of a round or you're after 18 and you finish taking off your shoes after a golf round is one of the best feelings in the entire world. Take the dogs out. Let them wiggle around.
Starting point is 01:23:27 You get in the grass for a minute. There's like, I don't know too many feelings that kind of live up to this. But don't be in the grass too long or else you might catch chiggers. And then the feeling is ruined. But for those few minutes, yeah, it really will make you think differently. So, yeah, letting the dogs breathe a little bit after a long round fire golf merch. That's a good shout out. My shout out, no free shout out.
Starting point is 01:23:57 goes to when all hope appears lost on the interstate and you're trying to merge over and you're running out of lane and you think this is probably it for me and some kind soul behind you just lets you in and you're able to merge over just before it's too late. Nice. Yes before it's too late. There is a panic like you think you're going to die. Like oh this is really how it's going to go, I guess. Start trying to call your family. Yeah. It's over. My shout out, no free shout out. It's going to go to my boy Robert Chrisman is his wedding this weekend. He's my roommate in college.
Starting point is 01:24:35 Can't wait to see him get married. It'll be badass. See all the boys. So, shout out, Rob. What's his nickname? Rob? Yeah, Rob. You were calling Bobby?
Starting point is 01:24:46 What his name? He was Bobby. Been up in Bobby again. Mine? What do you got, brother? My shout, no free shout out. It happened to me this a couple days ago. I was with one of my buddies
Starting point is 01:24:59 from Cactus Shadows, Nick Bennett, and one of my buddies from Chaparral High School, Tanner Technini. And the chemistry between the three of us was amazing. So my shout-in-offrey shout-out goes to when different friend groups get together and everything goes completely smooth. I loved it. It was so nice seeing them. I think I might have had a nice little friendship going.
Starting point is 01:25:18 Oh, different friend groups, like they're not boys. They know each other, but they, niggas from Cave Craig, Tanner's a Scottsdale boy. So didn't I know that? Yeah. I thought the boys already got along and stuff like that. Well, they all, that was got along. You know Tanner. Tanner misses the boys, too.
Starting point is 01:25:34 He wanted me to let you guys know. He fucking misses you guys. He said anything about me? You, Jack. Dude, Tanner. You say anything about me specifically? No. Actually, didn't even mention you once.
Starting point is 01:25:47 You wanted me to say back of the bus. He wanted me to specify back of the bus. He meant to say those four back there. My shout-out, no-free shout-out goes to bubble wrap. When I was a young buck growing up and you get some bubble wrap in the boxes and you just got to pop them and jump on them and snap them and make noises. It always fired me up. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:06 And still to this day, I'll, like, grab and squeeze and hear that pop and it kind of just brings me back to my childhood a little bit. Like, you see an acid trip, but like gets you right back to where you were. Yes. So my shout-out, no free shout-out goes to bubble wrap. Oh, yes. Sometimes I really do wonder the amount of friends will had growing up the more of these stories come out. What are you talking about? I just feel like you always have something
Starting point is 01:26:29 Like where you're doing something by yourself When you're little I was like man I would have been friends with you But damn What's that mean? I'm friends with you butt Probably not
Starting point is 01:26:39 Yeah I would Yeah I mean you know I don't mean That's a good shout out Bubble Rap was anytime you see bubble rap When you're a kid you love it Yeah were you not fired up on bubble wrap I was I was
Starting point is 01:26:53 Yeah Bubber raps are good You know Yeah good time good time you prefer the big bubble wrap or the small bubble wrap that's a great question the big boys

Starting point is 01:27:26 so that always fire me up but the big ones are more fun you get to be more intentional with the pop the small ones you're like I mean all right I'm going to try do this as fast you can. You ever get out one of them cookie rollers and fucking roll over it? You're like, all right, hey, nobody touches a little bubble wrap. This is mine today. Get it out, put it on the table and be like,
