Hey guys, it's us
The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.
But, you know, tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Just listen.
We don't care where you hear it.
Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite.
Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends.
Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.
This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel
help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Where does your group perform?
We do some retirement homes.
Those people are starving for banter.
Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the I-Heart Radio app,

Winning on Clay is an art.
The rallies are relentless.
And at the French Open, only the toughest survive.
I'd know.
I competed there for decades.
Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast
for no-nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches,
the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of Busen Spring Tour.
This is a very, very special opportunity for two reasons.
One, to tell you about the great Chevy Civil Rout on how amazing it is, how affordable, beautiful, rugged, tough, and dependable.
that 9 to 5 are working back and forth
doing your thing on a daily basis.
You know you're getting from point A to point B
without an issue and looking great.
The Chevy Silverado truly
something to really love and believe him.
Another reason why I'm so excited.
I don't know why you keep touching me.
Another reason why I'm so excited.
It's like the Chevy Silverado dependable, durable.
I'm not saying you jump in with something.
But here we are, am I right?
You get going.
You got that silver tongue.
You just flow, and I'm like, I don't want to interrupt you.
It's beautiful.
There's a lot of things.
This tongue.
Oh.
I know like that.
Relax.
I got Denar Robinson, who maybe the most versatile best dual threat quarterback of all time in NCAA.
In NCAA history.
And NCAA history came in same draft class as me.
And Chris Bryant not only was a great football player here, now works at the university.
I recruited my man here.
And he's been slaying it for the blue ever since.
Let's give a round of applause for the boys.
I don't know.
He said that's my
I got it.
I'm already swam.
Hey,
go,
I want to take a back pedal for a second.
Because we were talking before.
Right,
right.
No,
no,
what you were,
saying,
how you were introducing them?
Would you agree with that?
Uh,
what do you think you rank
in top,
and top most
dual-threat quarterbacks
of all time?
Jesus Christ,
I don't know.
I'll never thought about that.
Who comes to,
like,
who comes to mind that's with you in that case?
Mike Vitt.
That's not to say,
Mike Vitt, Lamar.
Oh,
Lamar Jackson.
You all say Lamar Jackson.
Shoot, you got to think about...
Damn, it'll be some guys.
You got to think about it.
Like, I watched Markovic growing up.
Like, that was my dude watching him, you know, do his thing at Virginia Tech.
Watch him do it at Atlanta.
I was like, I'm going to be like...
I try to throw the ball left-hander for a second.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, Vic was our guy.
Like, Vic was my guy.
So watching him, I was like, that's who I wanted to be like.
I think the thing with the gnar and most of it, like, you got to see him in practice.
Bro, he did the dumbest shit at practice.
He didn't guys look so stupid.
What do you mean?
Like, first off, the man doesn't tie his shoelaces.
Does not tie his shoe.
So he'd go out to practice, before they made him like some custom ones,
his shoelaces would be flopping on the side.
And you're like, bro, you're going to slip over.
He's like, ah, I'll be all right.
And he was from Deerfield Beach, Florida.
Yeah.
My man could enunciate now, but when you first met him,
you're like, him and the Pahawki, Florida.
You know exactly how I'm talking about.
You and the Hokie Ford of kids were talking.
I'm listening.
They're like, oh, this is a different language I've got to learn.
There was a run-on sentence the whole damn time.
Oh yeah.
This hit me in the huddle.
Bro, he could not say a word.
Anyway, so this dude would, like the first couple days of practice,
because Tate Forciet came in with you.
And then Tate, he was like one of the early enrollee guys.
And so everybody was all pumping Tate's tires like that.
Oh.
Oh, that's crazy.
I went to Tate's house.
Bro, he had a big weed pipe in the core, like, bombs and stuff.
He's like, we get down here.
I'm like, oh, shit's kind of dope.
And Tate House is always the place to go to.
You had to go to Tate House.
100%.
Taye had everything.
When we get out to camp and like
I'm 250.
I'm redshirting.
I'm like,
I'm gonna party.
Let's have some fun.
Let's do this.
The Nard is fucking breaking dude's ankles
left and right.
And he would be like
DBs would be chasing him.
He'd just be like him pulling away
by yards bro.
Right, right.
Killing,
stopping on a dime,
shoes not falling off at all.
And Adidas shoes of all
shoes.
That's a solid brand,
but that's before they actually
like kicked up their games. They've got a lot better.
I agree with that. Back then, the D-Daz was just like
getting in the football market. Yeah.
But this dude was fucking killing dudes, dude.
Absolutely killing him. You remember?
He was murdering the game. Were you guys all the same class?
No, no. Just me as to know.
I was tough a year.
I always said, I always said Grizzly bear.
Because you got an interesting story the first time you met, Taylor, right?
Oh, yeah. I wanted Taylor.
The day one of Taylor, I saw loving him. I was like,
this dude, my dude. Like, this is going to be my dude.
So the first time, the first, who was in the dorm room, right?
What was that place?
You're a jerk?
You're a jerk that first came out.
You're a jerk.
I know.
You're a jerk.
I know.
You hit the jerks on.
Let's go.
Hey, I took a good 20, 30 minutes and learn how to do it at my husband.
Put the YouTube out.
All the dudes are doing it.
I got to do for the fellas.
Hey, you're the one white guy in the locker.
Oh, they're fucking get to.
He's doing his thing.
So, so here's the story.
So the first night I meet him, we learned how to do the jerk.
Taylor learns it.
He's like, I got it.
We go to a party, right?
Tell him what the party was at, though.
What was it at?
It was an all black fraternity.
You know, bro.
An all black,
every walk in,
it was like,
it was like,
what's up,
Ed, Dono?
Oh,
what's on how you're doing?
They kind of look over.
They kind of look over.
It's like a movie with you.
It was like a,
like a bad comment.
Dude was looking back like,
who the fuck is this cracker?
And I kind of walk in,
hey, fellas,
how we're doing?
He's excited to be a part of the crew,
you know what I'm saying?
He wasn't,
he fit in.
And you could tell you he,
he was one of the boys.
Like, we got there.
and when some, like swag sir came on.
Yeah.
Hey, I got that.
Swat.
That was in my man.
That was so much, so we started doing that?
Oh, my God.
We did that.
And then, like, we went to another frat party.
Go to another frat party.
This one, it was a big frat party.
I don't know who frat.
It was, like, one of the big ones over by the big rock.
So we go, we go there.
Taylor take the ox.
Like, I just learned how to do the jerk.
I'm going to take that.
We're going to put the ox on it.
Yeah, we took on the whole frat.
He took on a whole frat.
17 years old.
He started drinking on the table.
Did you put on Blink 182?
No, I started doing the jerk.
He started doing the jerk.
You're a jerk, I know.
You're a jerk.
Imagine, what, you're six seven?
Yeah.
Six seven and he's on somebody's at table doing the...
Fucking ripping it, dude.
They were all about it.
Oh, yeah.
And, like, I never really danced like that before,
so I was like, man, I'm fucking killing.
I could have been dying.
I could have been, like, not doing well at all.
It could just be hype.
Like, at least he's doing it.
I'm from Cave Creek, Arizona, dude.
All of a sudden, like, people think I can dance.
Like, girls start coming on up, start doing the...
Yeah.
The piece to piece
Now I'm against the wall
Like having a seizure
Like what's gonna happen next?
But be honest bro
There's no better feeling
What are you talking about
Than getting accepted by the brothers on the team
That he's not
There's no better feeling
That is so funny
That's so true
It's like Taylor fit in like this right
He had a teammate that came in
Craig Roe
Oh poor Craig dude
Craig was like
Super religious cat
Like went to bed on time.
Yes.
Full point O students.
Yes.
And we were roommates.
Oh,
I got high school.
So imagine,
imagine him and take,
like they're two opposite.
Like,
really completely opposite.
And I mean,
so he got,
he fitted right,
right away.
Watching him in the,
Craig,
Craig is going to bed early.
I'm like,
I know Taylor's killing this dude.
I know Taylor's killing this dude.
He hated you, huh?
He did.
I've told the story before,
but like there was a point where like,
he had his Bible and he,
like, pray for people.
And it'd be like,
grandma,
you know,
has this going on.
Dad,
broke his ankle or something like that.
And at the end, it would just say, Taylor.
Like, no explanation.
Just the fact that I needed Jesus.
Shout out Craig Roe.
Craig.
Craig said to him.
I bet you.
I bet you help this guy out.
I mean, look what he had now.
All your friends worked.
He's appreciate you.
We got it.
Got it off, baby.
Let's go.
Let's go.
So I mean...
Can we get a...
Before we continue, can we get a moment of silence for Craig Row?
Thank you.
Appreciate the boy.
Appreciate that boy, man.
That was a big deal.
One thing, dude, and so, like, when we were playing and stuff like that,
you never want to ask questions because, like, we're all just the boys.
I don't want to ask stuff that's, like, going on with you.
But when we first got there and they were playing Tate first,
first game was Western Michigan.
Right.
And they had Tate starting and all that.
Like, what was, like, because you guys were in a quarterback battle in the beginning?
What would, like, were you like, hey, I'm way better than this guy.
Like, what are we doing?
I know I was way better than him as in, like, ability.
but he knew the offense.
Yeah.
So, like, that time that he came in for spring,
he learned the office.
So he kind of knew how to get on the board
and draw it up and do all that, everything,
you know, new defense.
I didn't know defense.
I came from DeFle Beach Florida.
Yeah.
Like, we're just going out of beach,
being you at football.
That's it.
So I started learning it.
When I got here, I started learning it.
And I knew I had more ability to him
to throwing the ball, running the ball,
whatever.
But I knew he knew the plays.
So, like, coach him and go over hit the guy
that didn't know the plays.
I didn't know the plays.
I was out of just being raw.
Yeah.
So shit, my first play, I dropped the snap.
I forgot to play.
Bro.
His first play.
They come out.
Like, we got to pull this clip up, too, when we put this out there.
He's jogging out there, dude.
The biggest fuck Western Michigan.
Donkey.
He's jogging out there.
I'm sitting there, dude, a rail, 250.
Like, just watch, hey, let's go, guys.
We're fucking do it.
We're all winning.
And DeNari comes out because Tate's been starting.
It's first play.
They're, like, showing.
They doesn't tie his shoes, which I didn't believe you knew how to tie your shoes.
I really thought you didn't know how to tie your shoes.
not a tiger shoes.
And he comes out, takes a snap,
and I think it was like Taye Odoms coming across, right?
It's supposed to be getting a reverse.
Yeah, so he's reversed.
He drops the ball.
Like, do you know, look at this man's hands.
Yeah, he's got some big fucking hands.
He got some meaty sticks on it, dude.
He drops the ball and picks it up
and then runs 45 yards for a touchdown.
First play ever at Michigan.
Yeah.
It was unbelievable, dude.
Everybody's just going electric in the coach's a private.
This motherfucker.
I didn't even know what to play with.
And Coach Robb was like,
You didn't know the play did, I was like, I forgot it.
Because, like, this literally happened.
Like, the first play that, actually, we got an outside pinnum.
Because I, like, I got up there.
I'm nervous.
That's the big house.
So, like, I get up and I'm like, down, said, hut.
The left tackle don't really hurt me.
He jumps off sides.
So I got, that's five yards back.
So I'm like, I can't mess this up.
I can't mess up.
Were you left tackle?
No, I was Richard.
It was.
It was Perry, right?
No, he was playing right tackle.
Who was something, Or?
Or, that's what it was.
Yeah, not Michael Or.
I don't know, Jordan or
White did.
Grindr.
Okay.
Lunch bail guy.
So then he jumps outside.
So then I'm like, all right, cool.
The next play, I'm like, I got to say loud as hell.
So I said that loud as hell.
And I forget the whole play.
I was like, stop.
Ball come to me.
I'm like, fuck.
Oh, shit.
Got the ball, picked the ball up.
I was like, I don't know the place supposed to go right.
I'm going right.
I'm going right.
And from then on, we're all like, oh, this is just that guy.
By the Michigan State game, you were starting, right?
No, I didn't start freshman at all. I didn't start at all freshman year.
I had a lot of drinking. A lot of drinking freshman year.
Not one of that.
I was seeing them twice out there, you know what I'm saying?
You probably didn't even really watch the games.
I was not.
I thought they were being a fan.
Did you guys have to travel to away games?
No, we didn't travel to all right games.
No, so he had a good Friday.
Fridays, I know y'all hated Fridays.
Yeah, we had killed in the weight room, but then after that.
Let's go.
It's on.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, dude.
It was the best, bro.
We had a fucking blast doing that.
Barz used to probably kill y'all in the wait room, huh?
Yeah, Barbers is killing us all the time, but you know that.
Oh, my gosh.
We used to run more than anybody ever.
The first workout.
Tell us about the first workout.
All right.
You're the guess, but I'll tell you.
The first is first.
You have to know about the show.
That's about the first workout.
So the first workout we get there,
we do like hypertrophy workout,
three sets of 12.
We do the whole barbell complex.
We do three sets of 12 squats.
We're fucking dead.
Dead.
Then we do pliometrics until like,
till we're like our legs are gone
I'm like cramping
I'm stuck in a little ball
and he's like he walks over to me
and Barlow says this glass eater
like the way he talks
and he goes hey
welcome to Michigan
how do you like my dick in your mouth
and he walks away from me
and I'm like oh my god
I fucked up coming here
I fucked up back
coming here dude
it was dude and we walk out
and it's like time to go run
and then we go do
a double fifth
which is two times we're on the field
and then we do two single fist
then we run like 8-110s
Yes
Then we run 840s
A couple 120s
And then 300s
To finish
That was all time
That was one run
That is fucking
Mondays Mondays and Fridays
It's not even good
It's not good for you
Oh no
But you're in college
I was in the best shape
I've been in my life
He was running track and field
Too in the offseason
Yeah I read track too
Yeah
So I did that
Did that on top of
And then I went to go to track
I want to do 60s
And hundreds
And 200s
So I literally came from that workout
To that workout
Yeah
We all go to the check and feel
Meets be like a lot of shit for DeNard
He's always smiling
He's gonna watch him
Yeah, I'll fucking go, you know
That's like high school vibe
Our old high school vibes
Our 09 class was like tight like that
We was really tight
Yeah
Super tight class
So what happened to y'all
We fucking
I was just kidding
I'm just kidding
I'm just kidding
I'm just like so
I still watch the bus
You know what I'm saying
Brandon just started a podcast too
So he started one
Who?
Yeah
Oh, no shit.
Yeah.
I haven't smoked the Gibbons in like five, six years.
Really?
What podcast is he doing?
I don't know, yeah.
He asked me to get on there.
So I talk to him.
I still talk to everybody.
You know, everybody can still come back and text me.
Roar, since I got the job, so a lot of people start texting me.
You know what I played with us?
So they all talking about.
Drummond Gallows is a part of class.
There's Hawthorne in there?
Hartthorne in my elbow because of him.
What do you think he's doing now, Taylor?
Hawthorne?
Yes.
He's a Florida kid, right?
Yes.
He's back in Florida.
Yes.
What is he doing in for?
Ooh, this is a good question right here.
I don't know.
I felt like this is like a trick.
It is a trick.
Oh, shit.
Who's this?
Brad Hartford.
He's another one that spoke a different language
when we first got here.
Crazziest player on a team.
They're asking you, what is he doing now?
I'm going to go to safe answer to selling insurance.
He's a police officer now.
No, he's not.
No, he's not.
He's a police officer in Orlando, Florida right now, man.
That is crazy.
He's like everybody get away with everything.
No, he's actually not.
He told me he was 26 for 27.
of chase downs.
Hocking kids?
Yes.
No shit.
He probably can't wait to do shit like that.
He showed me a highlight of him catching a kid.
With a cam?
Ripping after him?
It was like a up.
He told me he gave the kid.
He was going.
He was a wildback tomorrow.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, he smoked.
Hey, future job.
With the NFL's?
Future job.
When the NFL's over,
you hawks some kids down for sure.
He said he gives him a nice little head start
to make it fun for it.
No shit.
He's past as hell.
He's a funny.
He's a legit.
like four or five, four, four.
Yeah.
Like, legit.
I want to hear stories,
your guys' perspective
about the boy.
Oh, man.
Go ahead, Chris.
I recruited you.
Oh, yeah, you got, you guys.
Yeah, I want to hear some stories.
Here we go.
Man.
Nothing's off limits here.
I don't really remember my official visit.
That's what you want.
That's always good.
That's always good thing right here.
Remember my official visit,
but I know it was good enough for me to commit here.
I know Taylor, when I came here,
The only thing I remember is being in the back of a pickup truck.
I don't remember who had a pickup truck.
I remember, like, me and Jack Miller was in the back of a pickup truck.
Oh, I don't even remember that, dude.
Jack Miller.
I didn't have a pickup truck.
I had that catalyctaville with the steering wheel on it.
I loved it.
Somebody had a pickup truck.
Me and Jack Miller's in the back.
That two-seater bike?
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
I had a two-seater bike going to ride the class in by myself.
Oh, my gosh.
If anybody wanted to ride down the hill, there was a fucking blast, dude.
Taylor in the summer turned into a different guy.
Him and his right-hand man.
Look at it.
There you go.
The hand? You got to get that tattoo.
The right-hand man, yes.
You can talk about it.
Recruiting.
They really wanted you.
You were like the pride of Illinois.
We were coming out.
They're like, hey, you got to get this kid.
So I was like, all right.
And I remember, well, it's basically the same thing for every recruit.
Like take them out.
Get him hammered.
Everyone's probably thinking, oh, he's 17 years old, Taylor.
What are you going to do?
Just grow the fuck up if you're watching this in your upset.
So get him hammered, go out, take them out, and just let them enjoy their life.
That's really it.
I had a tight end one time that I took a nine iron and I gave it to him at the Red House.
And I was like, go and hit the walls.
So we like took out a wall one night, like 2 a.m.
Ran through a wall?
Ran through a wall, took an iron and just started beating the wall in.
It's like, we're good.
It committed that next day.
I was just for asking did he commit.
He committed the next day.
I forget his name.
Tide in, though, white kid.
It was awesome.
That's hilarious.
Get him hammering, put them on some chicks.
Yeah, oh, 100%.
Oh, yeah, that was it.
That's really all you had to do.
That's the game of recruiting, right?
That's it.
That's all it was.
Yeah.
Did you miss on any recruits?
I guess Sheriff Houses.
One.
I think it was Jeff Fisher.
Oh, the kids that went to Oregon?
He went to Oregon.
Then he went to Cincinnati and became a tight end.
But I was batting a thousand.
I had everybody.
Everybody I hosted committed.
Yeah.
And it was awesome, too, because you would get like, when you hosted guys,
you get fed
at the nice food too
And you eat a cup of
Yeah
You get some Per die of money
And I was like living like
A king $200 you fucking kidding
Yeah
How much did you give the recruit though
What?
I didn't see nothing
No I know
I didn't see a dog
If he did ask for you
Not getting it to him
Right
Yeah right right
Right
But you're talking about
Taylor
Taylor still won't give you that shit
No you're talking about
You get nothing
I did you get a little selfish
With that paper
You get me money
To get back on the tiger
He said he was not giving you
A million dollars
No, you want to tell you.
You saw a made-dollar contract.
Can't give me a million.
Yeah, you know when you're in elementary school growing up,
hey, well, I hit the lottery, I'll give you a million.
We finally got that situation in real time.
He's like, nah, fuck that.
Bro, I didn't buy a ticket from a gas station.
I play football.
I'm out of your grinding.
Doesn't matter, bro.
80 sounds way better than 79.
Way better.
You're at 82, though.
You're at 82, 83.
No.
83 sounds way better than 802.
How did that make you feel?
Oh, damn.
I wasn't surprised.
Like, I knew it would happen.
Like, I knew, I know this guy.
He's selfish.
It is what it is.
That's wild, dude.
In front of my friends?
You're going to soil me like that, dude?
But, no, when we play here, Taylor used to give out money all the time in the spring.
Spring in the summertime.
You're talking about when Taylor would come back?
No, no, no.
When Taylor didn't get any...
I didn't give a kid's money.
You're working for Nebraska, huh?
Yeah.
No, no, no.
I'm saying, like, when he was in league, he'd come back.
No, no, no, this was before he even had the 83.
Before he even had the rookie contract, Taylor was sitting on his porch and drop money off a little bit.
Tell what?
With his little two-seater bike and handing out $5 bills.
Yeah, I tell you what, this is a good lead to.
Yeah, we used to get into some nice summer workouts or whatever in the summertime.
And I'm going to let Dinar finish this one.
I'm nervous.
I feel like Taylor used to just like, it was a lot of things like Taylor would just tell you like,
come on, we're about to go do something.
You know what I mean?
You don't really know what you're getting into.
You know it's probably not safe.
It's probably not good.
But you were Taylor.
So you're like, fuck it.
We ain't going to get too much trouble.
Everybody loves Taylor around here.
Another story just came in my mind.
Remember you had a fucking pig?
Yeah.
Dr. Hamlet the third.
Dr.
What?
Dr. Hamlet the third.
Bro, we had a whole...
A long lineage of doctoral pigs, Gary.
Bro, we had a whole team meeting because the animal patrol people came and took the pig from Taylor.
But anyway, that's a whole other story.
I didn't even know about that.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
But so, like, yeah.
So Taylor used to stay, bro.
Right behind us, it's a red house car.
Red House, right down there.
Red house, bro.
Legendary, bro.
I tell Rucous to this day, that's where Taylor Luan stayed, right?
That's hilarious.
We used to have this game after workouts in the summertime.
Got a lot of free time or whatever,
where Taylor would round up all his before NIL, NIL money that Taylor was still getting some.
What are you talking about, bro?
Oh, you get some money, huh?
I never got paid a dollar.
It's all good, bro.
I wish we got paid.
I wish we got paid.
I, no doubt.
If someone were to give me money, I did get free food.
That's all that we got.
I bet he did get some money.
Free food.
Free food.
I like to think the Don got money.
He was living a little different.
Lace ain't no way.
You were different, bro.
I wish.
I tell people all the time,
I didn't get paid now.
Hold on.
You ain't get paid for being on the front of NCAA?
Yeah, but that's after college.
It was after everything.
But like, when I was here playing,
I got not one dollar.
You never signed a bunch of autographs
for a few thousand dollars.
That was after I got them playing.
Never, never did it before like that.
All right, Will, that's enough.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know how much that's the story.
He's reeling in money.
Yeah, so Taylor's got,
I don't know where Taylor get all this money coming in from.
Bro.
He went on the story.
He's leading you to a great story right now.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
So Taylor round up some of the guys.
We'd be sitting on the front porch or whatever.
So I'm just chilling.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm from inner city Chicago.
I'd never played this game.
This giveaway money game that we got to play.
So Taylor going to the house or whatever.
You know, we all just sitting out there or whatever.
Taylor disappeared for a minute.
And Taylor come a little $5 bill or whatever.
And it's kind of a little $5 dollar bill or whatever.
And it's kind of a little.
like clothes, but it's kind of
stuffy where you can't really like
you know, whatever. So I didn't, I had
no idea what's going on. Taylor got $5. So Taylor
just kind of walk off or whatever.
And I'm still not asked the question. I'm just observing.
Taylor walks like across the street on this side.
And he had just dropped
the $5 bill on the ground. So I'm
looking like, oh damn, look at Taylor. Just making people's
day. Just somebody's going to walk out of the academic
center today, just find $5.
Go grab him a $5 subway and, you know,
whatever. So if we sit down, Taylor's come back
giggling and shit laughing and stuff.
So I'm not really figure out what's going on.
I want to say, I can't remember if it was the first one
or like maybe the seventh one that came down
after we didn't did it so many times.
Somebody came down, picked it up.
And I remember this one specifically
because it was an old couple.
You probably don't even remember this.
No, I think I did remember this.
It was an old-ass couple, bro.
I mean, old as shit, bro.
And they see the money.
He might have been like a $10 bill on the ground.
They just walking.
He'd pick it up.
As soon as he grabbed it, he just kind of like got stuck there for a minute.
And he just let the money go.
And it's shit all that.
Oh, my.
My God, bro.
You were that kind of dude.
Poop dollar, dude.
It was the best game, dude.
It was the best.
You put a five out there, and no one saying no to a five on that on the side walk, bro.
So you go.
How do you set up poop dollar?
You take the money that you would earn, not be given.
You go to the shit in the toilet, and you take a knife, and you take a knife, and you kind of scoop out some of the poop,
and then you smear it on like butter.
And then you fold it gently.
Walk it over like a little purse.
And then lay it down, pooped down.
And then we would, the hockey boys lived right next to us.
So the hockey boys and us would just kind of pack up,
bunch of 30 racks, hang out, and just kind of pry under our little porches,
waiting for somebody to pick it up.
Once they pick up, oh, you picked up the shit.
You fucking got you.
Guys are giving the birds.
Whatever.
And then the game would always end the same way.
Homeless guy walks by, sees the shit.
wipes it on the ground.
Pocket that $5.
Pocket that $5 out of there.
It was wild.
Then you're going to find $5 more dollars.
Well, $1 bill is not as enticing.
You see that $5?
Even a $10?
Holy shit, if you had a $20.
Yeah, that is hilarious.
That's so fucked up.
It's not that fucked up.
It's hilarious, but it's a little, you know,
I mean, shit, you know, on a dollar bill.
Hilarious prank.
The worst thing is, like, you get so pissed
and then you look over and you see it's like 12 people of like 6, 7, 6, 6.
There's nothing you can do about it.
You can do, but you should have to move on the fucking.
What are you going to do?
Do you see these two guys on the porch and they're laughing at you?
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
Nothing.
Like, fuck all these dudes sitting here laughing at me touching this poop doll.
Fuck you guys, man.
Just keep walking.
Yeah, keep walking.
Fuck.
Dude, that's so much fun.
Oh, man.
Oh, go ahead.
Do you guys something?
I got a story for you about you.
I remember one time we went to this frat house
and we took the fire scene
and we went in there and just
like...
Oh, and the rooms.
Yeah, the whole upstairs.
Yeah.
You took a what?
We went to this frat.
Oh.
And, um...
Oh, my God.
We would go to frats
because in our head it was like,
these are all the rich kids
that got everything.
We didn't have anything.
And we were mad about it,
so we would go...
We would go to the frat
and we'd take out their fire
extinguisher and we'd walk upstairs when
no one was looking and we'd open their room. Like someone would be
locked, someone would be locked, but the ones that weren't locked
we'd open the door and then take the fire
extinguisher and cover their entire room
and go to the next room.
Just because.
Just because, man. I hope a young Teril Luan
gets in your house one day.
Oh, dude.
I was such...
I was... And I know people are listening to this, probably thinking
like, man, Taylor was a really fucking bad kid.
I was... Everything was in the name of fun.
Everything was in the name of fun.
Now, those frat kids that had to deal
with a frothy room.
Like, that's my apologies.
Those of you who picked up the poop dollar
should have kept it.
That's currency.
That's on you.
That's not being financially responsible.
Yeah, the pig thing, that's a tough deal too.
Bro, what did y'all, first of all,
where did y'all get that pig from?
And who's idea?
It was me and Michael Schofield.
Skofield came up with this?
Yes, well, we were talking about
owner of the pair.
It was another guy we keep in contact with.
Yeah, Schofield's awesome.
He's a super bowl with the Broncos.
Right tackle.
So Schofield, I was roommates with him
in that White House.
I showed you that I lived in my senior year.
He's dating this girl, and we're talking about owning a pig.
And the girl's like, y'all are ever going to own a pig ever.
And we're like, done.
That's enough.
Go on Craigslist.
Craigslist, $250 for a pig.
Game set, match.
That's easy.
They're going to have the pig off Craigslist.
So we pull up, like, the dude's like in wherever Michigan.
The hand, everyone shows you where they're from.
It's like, he's here.
We're here.
It's an hour both ways.
We'll meet in the middle of this random ass station, something out of a horror movie.
We get there late at night.
It's like 8 p.m.
He pulls up.
in like a Chevy Suburman
and opens it up
and his kids come and start piling out
and he's like telling us
with the pig hey you got to feed it
if you take it outside
you got to put sunscreen on it
because it burns easy
you know like it's really
there's some SB of 50
yeah no for real
and the little girl
one of the little girls is like
he bites and the dad's like
get the fuck back at the car
and in my head
I'm not even seeing the red flags
with this pig
I'm like fuck yeah dude
we got this pig now
this is the dopeest shit ever
and so we get the pig
we bring it
and then I come to find
find out that pigs don't, pigs don't,
pigs don't do well on tile.
They do better on,
on carpet.
And in the house,
all we have was like this small little,
maybe the size of us in a square carpet.
So the pig decides that that is now his territory,
and no one else is a lot to live in that,
go in that area.
And the only way to get from the front door to the kitchen
was do the carpet.
And this pig,
every morning would burrow,
burrow into this blanket.
And in the morning,
you'd be like creeping down the stairs,
slowly, dude.
and all of a sudden, like one creek of the stairs,
and you just hear,
his little nose would come out.
Then it'd be like me, Eric Gunderson, Mike Schofield,
and the pig would be looking at it.
It's like, we'd move left, he'd move left,
we'd move right, he'd move right,
and then you'd like push Gundy and run to the kitchen.
And realize, like, this is too much.
This pig is mean and nasty.
So one day I get like a pillow.
I always get these pet stories, man.
I get a pig and a pillow and a broom,
and I'm like, ushering this pig out to the front deck.
And every day I'm like wrestling the pig.
Oh, we get down, like, rubbing SPF 50 on it.
Because I don't want him to burn.
See?
He was a great guy.
I was great to this thing.
And then one day I'm, like, coming out.
I'm feeding the pig carrots.
And these girls walk up, like, what do you do?
And I was like, kind of like rattled.
I was like, I have this pig and I just give it carrots sometimes.
Like, I know what this is here.
And they're like, oh, all right.
That's kind of cool.
And I'm like, yeah, you want to, you want to see me to carrot?
And they're like, where do you want to see me to carrot?
And I like kind of tossed the,
Toss the carrot out a little bit.
The pig eats it.
Like, does he live out here?
And I'm like, yeah.
And like, can we take a picture of the pig?
I was like, yeah, for sure.
Well, they take a picture of the pig.
Like, the next day I'm, like, sitting in my living room.
And I got to knock at the door.
And in my head, I'm like, someone can't be that the pig's going to get them.
And I open the door.
And it's one of like the, I don't know, the people that take away animals.
What are they?
No, it ain't Pete.
It ain't the J.J. Gargantuan of taking away animals.
It's like the humane society comes up and they're like, hey, we got an
An animal, an animal abuse thing.
And I'm like, oh, shit, about what?
And they're like, oh, a pig, do you have a pig?
And I'm like, as it's happening here,
this fucking dick comes out.
I'm like, you should get in the house right now.
You should get in the house before he gets you.
The thing starts like, come at him out.
I'm so like, I get him in.
Save his damn life.
And I close the door and the dude's like,
do you abuse this pig?
I'm like, no, I feed him carrots.
I put SPF 50 on him.
Like, this is my homie.
We're just having a bit of a mutual difference right now
that we have to work through.
Yeah.
And he's like, is this, is this the picture of the pig?
And it's the pig.
The shoes in, and you can see my shoes in the picture, I'm still wearing the same shoes right there, the red vans.
And I'm like, yeah, that's the pig.
And he took them.
And now, and I have no idea what happened to Dr. Hamlet, the third.
Social services got him, man.
Take away my boy.
I hated that pig, though, dude.
I got to be honest.
How long did y'all have them?
This four weeks.
How big was he?
25 pounds.
Jesus Christ.
I've never seen this pig, dude.
Yeah, you were gone after that because you didn't redshirt.
So it was like my senior senior year.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
It's a crazy little deal.
Man, when Taylor first came and I did not know he's going to be that fucking left tackle.
Like, when he first came, he was skinny as hell.
Looking like a great day in there.
Like, really, really scared.
But the thing is, the thing about him, I gave him credit because he was, he was, he still had that, like, I'm a fucking bully.
I bully guys, too.
And I remember you going against Brennan Graham.
Yeah.
And I think you got on Brennan Grave nerves.
a little bit.
Yeah.
Because we was on scout team.
Yeah.
You were on scout team.
And, uh...
Bairner and was a 13th overall pay for the Eagles.
He just stopped.
He's motors at his world.
He weighed more than me, my freshman year.
Yes.
I'm blocking him.
Yes.
And I think you said something to him.
And that whole prideness, man.
That motherfucker was coming after me.
The whole frowness up all day, dude.
He goes hard, man.
He's nasty.
He goes hard.
But he talks a lot.
Because he's not long.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
But when he talks a lot.
But when he gets tired, he gets a little tired.
He gets a little quiet.
He gets a little tired, he gets a little quiet.
Oh, BG, where you at now?
He's like, oh, I'll get you, man.
I'll get you.
In the middle of a game or something like that.
It's hilarious, dude.
But you show that day one, though.
Like, you had that dog in you.
Like, nobody, you can't coach that.
It's called it.
Well, we just, like, it was kind of like we're all kind of there
trying to, like, posture, like, figure out who's going to be the dudes around here.
Like, you go in the class, you're all boys with everybody.
But at the same time, like, you want to be the top guy.
Yes.
You know what I'm saying?
I knew DeNar was, like, I mean, halfway into the first practice.
are like, that's the guy got to hang out with.
That's the guy got to be around.
Because he's got to be a stud.
Oh, he had the juice.
And he was a real deal leader, too.
Yeah.
I wasn't a good leader.
I just got to fucked around.
You know what I'm saying?
Man, you got your role?
I had my role, but I was trying to fit a whole different role by the end of it all, ma'am.
Oh, we run a little, a little on time here?
I know.
We're taking a little long.
It's fun and listen to him tell stories.
Come on, Dave.
What's up, dude?
I'm Taylor.
What's your name?
Are you ready to commit?
We want the first commit on the, on the, on the,
Yeah, you want to come up right now?
First commit on bussing.
He goes, what?
No, don't get, don't put him in a bad spot.
I'll do.
We'll be done 10 minutes, and I want to meet you.
We're going to hang.
Is this your family?
I'm his family?
I'm his next to meet.
Hi, I'm Taylor.
Nice to meet you.
Well, okay, or one thing before we, like, finish this thing up,
I wanted to talk about your game against Nebraska
that you had that nerve damage.
Because that's kind of when it all was towards the end, right?
Definitely.
That's when the quarterback career was out the window.
Over.
We earned our black shirts that game.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Because Russell Bellamy had like KBRA rate of 6.
It is what it is.
We won, however bad we won.
It was his first game ever playing.
You know what I'm talking about?
You know what I'm saying?
I love Russell.
I love Russell.
But that was a tough game.
We ran a 13.
It was a tough game to come in on too.
Like, you know what I mean?
It wasn't a blowout.
I don't even know if the whole game was a blow it anyway.
Y'all didn't blow us up.
I don't think it was like 20 to 13 maybe.
Yeah, it was a good game.
Y'all got lucky.
Y'all got hurt.
Oh, we got lucky.
What happened the last time we played?
That was the year before.
The year before?
What happened the year before?
We got dunked.
It's right over there.
We came back right to go.
We bounced back.
And what did I do that game?
Which game?
The year before.
No, yeah, you murdered us.
I'm not saying, yeah, y'all whooped us.
For real?
I'm not saying you got lucky that game.
Like, y'all whooped us that game.
Yeah, but you guys, like, I stopped.
I didn't play the rest of the game.
It was in the third quarter.
That was the third quarter.
And the game was tight.
No, it wasn't that tight.
It was like 17 and 13 or something like that.
They never scored after I got out of the game.
Us, us earning our black shirt
mean we played insane defense.
Like, the quarterback draw wasn't working that game.
What?
Check the game.
I'm going to have to pull that film.
We got to pull that film here.
We must pull that out.
I love the banter right now, by the way.
Love it, dude.
My thing is this, though.
We had a couple of plays that game that didn't go out with
because, like, Roy called a deep, deep ball,
and they caught incomplete.
But that was right before, that was right before,
right before the...
You're just like this last game against Nebraska
this past year, the boss
had been blown dead before they ripped it out and took it in the house.
I'm just saying, we're going to make
excuses. I can't do it.
I can play the rest of the game. So for the third quarter,
you don't have to run by the guy that...
Will, so if he was healthy, y'all would have won.
Oh, we're winning that game.
Oh, Jesus.
We're winning that game. Stop.
If you know, the ball of the same score?
No, no, no. Maybe... I mean,
they still have to play defense. They still gave up
27 points. Yeah, defense wasn't great.
A defense, no. We never had a good defense.
Never had a good defense.
Oh.
We were clicking that game defensively, bro.
Oh, come on.
And y'all were at Nebraska.
We was at Michigan the year before.
Y'all won.
That was our first.
We walked y'all to the Big Ten for a-uh.
Yeah.
Y'all had, because we tripped each other back and forth because Taylor had to, like, a block on me, which we have fun with.
You bet you can do?
No.
It was in the fourth quarter, and the game's obviously over.
We were in power, and I block him to the sidelines.
And Will swung on me.
And Taylor, like, the tackles being made, and Taylor's still, like, showing that he's still, you know,
that he's still finished.
So the scouts trying to get that first-up hit.
But that game, y'all had like two yards rushing.
Two yards total.
Rushing?
Yeah.
Stop.
Stop.
You got to pull it up.
We got to pull it up.
We got to pull it up.
You know me.
I'm ready to get on this phone.
I'm ready to get on this phone and get that.
Hey.
Yeah, Michigan versus Nebraska, 2012.
It was that in Nebraska.
Look up.
Look up.
DeNard's rushing in.
Before you guys.
You're not going to like it.
The note.
I'm just letting you know.
Before you say those numbers.
we got sacks so many times
that goes against our rushing total.
We got sacks so many times.
Russell got sacked like nine times.
Okay, I got you.
Block.
Wow.
Dernard had 46 rushing yards.
What are you talking about?
In the third quarter?
That's more than two.
That's one of two yards.
You're just saying we had two yards.
Yeah, no, no, no.
He said, you're not.
He said, John.
What is it's been myself?
If it's all you're going to be a lot.
You would have been over 100 so far.
Can we run that part back where we said we had two yards total.
before we...
That's crazy, well?
What was the total yards?
Two yards?
What was the total last?
I had 46 myself.
And I probably had nine carries probably.
Nine carries, 42?
How many yards I had?
That's how many hours I had?
You played three quarters, bro.
He's a quarter of and he throws the ball too.
He had 10 carries 46 yards.
That's 4.6 yards.
Yeah, but you're Donald Robinson.
You're electric.
You're over like 10 yards.
Like, you were running.
Y'all had two.
Martinez.
He's electric.
Yeah, we won.
First of all, how many years did Martinez do?
A 17.
I mean, you're the Lepardino's game.
Every year they have a team.
Is it the fucking squad?
What do you need?
Let's look at a box score in the third quarter.
Will's tackles.
I think I only had five.
Well, actually, no, Will was electriced that game because we put that up on YouTube one day at the O'Hourners.
Yeah.
And they were just highlighting Will.
Leader, la-da-da-da-da-da.
He's this guy, that guy.
Uh-oh.
Hey, Will was that dude?
I'll tell you what, the will had the crowd pretty pumped at the Nebraska game this year when he came back.
Electric, right?
Oh, you didn't go like that?
It was the weirdest vibe, too, because you guys were on the goal line and kept, like, basically scoring, but there was a challenge flag.
They didn't score, I guess.
What do you got, Garrett?
Oh.
That environment was hype.
Yeah, it was.
His facts already going already.
It's up the window.
He said, two years rush.
I have 46 myself.
Hang on, though.
My man was a All-American running back.
Listen.
I know what presence I'm sitting in right now.
I'm just saying we earned our black shirts that game,
and we would have still won the game had you not gotten injured.
I don't believe that.
No, I don't think so.
He was a king of the fourth quarter comeback.
Notre Dame, 2011.
We had seven fourth quarter comebacks by senior year.
Seven.
Seven.
Seven in the year.
2011, 2010.
I'm going to bring this up.
2011.
Indiana, we had Notre Dame.
We always came back.
It was never a game that we was out of.
Yeah.
If it was it.
No, there's never a game you all weren't out of.
We had seven fourth quarter comebacks my senior year, that year that we're talking about.
But you guys was not going to beat us that year.
What ball game did I go to that year, Will?
Capital One.
We lost, unfortunately.
Outback.
No, we went to Outback, yeah.
We played Outback.
That's what clowning.
Comparable, that's the clowning thing.
No, because Devin was the quarterback.
Yeah.
My fault.
Hey, my fault, 23 to 9.
That was the score?
23 to 9 was a score.
I'll score, right.
And you had six carries for 55 yards.
Oh.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
No, no.
Man tank carries 46.
You were six for 11 for 55 yards.
Zero TDs, zero interceptions.
You remember that you five yards a pass?
He had nerve damage, Will.
What was the score in the third quarter?
He had nerve damage.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
This is crazy, bro.
Game cast.
Let me hit this game cast real quick.
Don't worry, boys.
Hey, uh, while we was doing that,
you remember like we'd be in the middle of games?
We were running Zone Reed.
And I'd be like, hey, this guy,
I can take them anytime you want
and you'd be like, all right, just take them.
I'll just run it this time.
Yes, that's the time.
All the time.
Yeah, the total score was, uh,
it was 16 to 9 in the third.
And we only scored one touchdown in the fourth.
So think about this.
It's 169.
Four points.
I'm thinking about it, though.
Seven points.
I'm thinking about it.
Oh, I'm thinking about it.
That's too many heads.
Don't worry about it, though.
Don't worry about it, though.
Don't quit.
So who was only down by seven?
That's what you're telling me.
My fault. Hey, the two-yard thing was you guys averaged two yards of rush.
Yes, because Bellamy got tackled a bunch and fits in run for very much at all.
Yes.
I'm just letting you know.
But think about it.
So you're going to be it's.
You're not a whole offense.
I understand.
But Donar Robinson's usually got 188 in a first half.
I'm just saying you guys have 180 in the first half.
I don't know.
I don't know how many sides I had that.
Yeah, that's all.
That's a fucking.
That's Derek Henry numbers.
And you all had the ball for more time in us.
Huh?
And you all had the ball for more time position than us.
Yeah, because...
I'm just letting you know we still win that game.
Okay, look at the rest of Russ and Bellamy stacks that game.
He had three televised.
He had three interceptions.
He had three interceptions.
I know.
He is all right.
Look, let his tag on there.
You guys.
Russ, I love you.
Russ, I love you.
He had three interceptions.
I guess all I'm saying is you said...
Wait, wait, because I just told you, if I was in the game, you think I'm throwing it three...
Russ, I love you, Russ, I love you.
You think I'm throwing three interceptions?
No, I'm not saying that.
I would have a touch that.
I would throw it.
Words in my mouth.
I'm not saying that.
You said y'all got lucky that I got hurt.
I'm saying we would have still beat you.
We were already winning.
16 to 9.
We were holding you already.
Bro, we were holding you.
Oh, Jesus.
You had 100 total yards of offense that game before you got her.
In the third quarter.
And Donald Robinson has over 200 at that point.
Okay, here we go.
There are.
Everybody think they're holding Derek hearing until the fourth quarter happens.
Yeah.
We were fourth quarter.
Hey, we were fourth quarter team too.
Is that true?
We had the fourth quarter comebacks in the entire season.
We came back seven times
We got 30 seconds left on the clock
Notre Dame
Let's talk about it
That's Notre Dame
Let's talk about it
Let's say that
Nebraska and Lincoln
What are you talking about
Dude?
That was the most electric game
We've ever had though
By far
At the Notre Dame game
I don't even remember
They scored
They scored
It was like three touchdowns
Right
Three touchdowns in a minute
46
Yes
It was 30 seconds left
On the clock
30
On the 20 yard line
Stefan Tuit
I said
We're gonna go to out
They left too much time
On the clock
Boom
What we do
Tell them deep
I was
I've watched college football just like, y'all.
So that's what I'm trying to tell you.
So that's what I'm trying to tell you.
Southside end zone.
Roan-Row-Tree.
Hey, give me the ball.
Let's go get it.
Let's rock out.
Hey, can I say something that's like completely going to mess this whole vibe?
Go ahead.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Tree, my dog, I love you.
Uh-oh.
He dropped that ball.
What?
Are you saying?
Tree dropped that ball.
That catch?
In the end zone.
Tree, know it.
Tree.
Tap in.
Tap in, Tree.
Tee, I hate to do it to you.
So you're saying the whole, the mission.
The Michigan
Come back against Sunder Dame.
The Notre Dame.
It should have never happened.
I mean, that was my freshman year.
I was one of the best nights
on my life downtown in the harbor,
so it should have happened.
It rocked out.
But,
because it was rocking that night.
But if we go back...
I know you guys against Sonderdane,
that's always like a dope game.
If we could bring up the small film on this
before we show it,
pull up tree,
and he catches it and hits the ground
and the ball is like,
not even in his hands.
The ball is rolling.
But it hits the fist.
It was a pass and first.
It was the first.
15-year-offs and then we got to play.
Fair. Fair. So we won the game. I made Tree sit down and watch film and admit that he
dropped that ball. No shit. And he actually admitted it? Yeah, he did. He does not like
Trin. I don't think Roy, Roy, you didn't admit that, did you?
That money did it. Oh, Jesus Christ. But we won.
What Tree would say is, he said back then that was a catch. If it was today, it would have been
incomplete. That was his, that's what he said. I don't know. I don't know how the
college rules have changed. Y'all got the, I don't think they have changed. It doesn't matter.
Yeah, we got the memories. They went home. Mantite Teo?
He called his girlfriend on the way home.
He's like, babe, man, this happened.
Tell me about it, man, time.
Tell me about it.
Tell me about it.
Oh, my.
That's the story.
He was a stunt.
Hey!
Perry!
The legend, the owner of the brown jug.
The brown jug.
That's the legend.
Hey, remember the stories I tell you about the brown joke?
That's the man right there.
That is the man.
We just created our first trophy.
You did?
You heard about it?
The bus.
Bus.
Bus trophy.
I was the trophy before you got.
That's fair.
Perry, he deserves a lot.
Pay your respects.
Pay your respects.
Pay your dues, baby.
Yeah.
What's that?
Chris,
you gotta go, Chris.
All right, let's do it.
Well, quick.
The Duke's segment, right?
Duke.
Duke.
You had it in me 25 minutes ago.
Oh.
Yeah, Duke Cannon.
Hey, that's wild, dude.
Appreciate you.
Bring him over here.
Who is it?
Is it recruit?
Who is it?
Who is it?
Who?
Oh, bring him over.
What?
Different kid.
Different kid.
Oh, okay.
New kid?
He's going to meet you.
So many.
Is this.
Is this.
kid also want to meet me this other kid?
Hey, I just want you to know, too, y'all, you average
3.4 yards per pass that game as well.
What a nerve damage.
Yo, that's crazy.
Two yards, hold on.
We have to end this.
Do you can't.
2012.
Huh?
That's 10 years ago.
10.
Jesus Christ.
This is mad.
We're tough out here.
We're tough out here.
We struggle.
Yeah, we struggle.
What are we doing?
That's tough.
That's a tough deal.
Barstool.
So I hit your head to Duke Cane.
I don't even have a question.
I don't have a question.
Shout out Duke Cannon.
Sorry.
Lockroom segment.
Duke Cannon, baby.
Shout out you guys.
Yeah.
All right.
Actually, we'll do the, we'll do the peek in.
Yeah.
Before you go, are you doing it around on some Duke Cannon?
The Duke Cannon segment.
Okay, this is the official scent of Buston with the boys.
It's outstanding.
It comes in a very cool box.
And I'm not bullshit.
Give that a little smell.
Put your finger in that.
You put your finger in this and he'll smell that.
Yeah.
Put your finger in this.
We got to give me a little more lead on before you're talking about my finger in.
Tell me how it smells and let me know if you trust me or not.
Yeah.
That's fire, right?
Exactly.
What do you do with it?
It's a cologne.
It's a cologne.
It's a cologne.
You put it on your finger and you put it on your neck.
Do canons.
Hey, we're going to get you guys sent a whole box of this stuff.
Do you can.
We got home you to it now.
Absolutely.
It smells good, right?
Yeah, it does.
Just a different lead up, Will.
Yeah, I just got the box two days ago.
Okay.
And yes.
I'm in it all day.
I told Taylor, I go,
He phased at me in the shower.
Yeah, I called him, I said,
I'm not shitting you.
This is going to be my official scent from here on now.
So y'all do peek in the shower.
So here's a deal.
That's our question.
Hey,
when you in the league or in college,
you never peaked?
Come on.
Like, yeah, it happens.
Like, you see him.
Blake,
your running back acts like he's never seen one in his life.
He's lying.
He's already too short, bro.
He's, he's out of having them thanks.
Think about being next to you.
He's short.
But, like I said.
Think about it.
You're just sitting in the, you're sitting down in the locker.
You're going to sit.
I mean, especially as a freshman when, like, Taylor them playing,
because they made the freshman shower in one corner with, like, two showers.
That's crazy.
It was crazy.
I didn't even know I did that.
It wasn't just Taylor, though.
It wasn't just Taylor, though.
It was tradition.
It was some people that, you know, would make sure that the tradition stayed in line, like, Taylor.
Yeah.
You know.
Did you either, you guys ever get, like, initiated?
Not like initiated, but, like, that fun little banter.
All of us.
Like, I'm pretty sure everybody
Did I got thrown in the
The pond
Oh yeah, the pond that one time
He got thrown in
The dirty laundry hamper
Oh yeah, they would tape you up
You in the showers
Oh, back on taping was
Yeah
Taping was around when I was in high school
Oh, that's a bit of a deal now
I know you guys taped in college
Oh yeah, we taped
Yes
They make the freshman run
And jump in the pond
And get dirty with his like
Quick saying shit and seen
It would be the last work out of the summer
Yes
Before we're going to have a break
And so like they
They did me dirty
I didn't know what he was doing.
So, but all the seniors, like, stood around me because they knew they couldn't catch me.
I didn't know why they were standing around me.
So I was like, we walk into the golf course or whatever.
Yeah.
And I was like, what's up?
And like, yeah, what's good, man?
I'm just looking at him like, I don't know.
I don't know you all around me right now.
Like, what's going on?
And so it was like, yeah, you're getting in the pond today.
I was like, ha.
So I just laughed.
I gave him one of the chuggles like, you can't catch me.
Yeah.
And I took off.
Yeah.
So it was like, they were to chase me all day.
I was like, no, I'm not.
So I was like, I'll just, I'll just do it.
Just go in there.
Because if I didn't, they were going to try to catch me in the locker room.
So I was like, I'm not.
Go ahead.
Just do it yourself.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Just do it with yourself.
Let's do it.
Some guys wouldn't do it, though.
You have to throw them in yourself.
Yes.
Yes.
I just throw myself smelling my finger on accident.
That's just, right?
I do you can.
I do you guys on board, dude.
What's it like, are you with recruiting?
Like, what do you guys both do with Michigan?
I'm director of player development
So director of player development
This is just a director of player of personnel
What is it like coming back to your alma mater
And being like
You know you guys have a direct impact now
On the culture of Michigan where you guys played
It's dope
I mean I think when you're a player
You don't never really
When you're playing here
You never really think about
That one day I'm gonna be walking
You know the halls upstairs
Like when you're a player
You don't even think about all the other roles
That goes into the team
But you joke on those dudes
Yeah you like joke on those
Not saying that they joke on you
but I'm saying like,
when you're a player, you like joke on the dudes
probably not y'all-in-the-te-tee.
What's up?
I'm saying, he's saying they joke on us.
Probably not y'all, because you guys played.
Nah, it's the part.
Like, you got to do stuff that you didn't do as a player,
you know what I'm saying?
So you host it, you got to make sure that everybody's happy,
the family's happy,
and you got to really show them that what University of Michigan is about.
Like, it's really no university, really better than the University of Michigan.
I'm being honest, honestly saying it's like from the alumni,
from the school, from the big house,
from all the sports.
Like, you're going,
you're never going to get to somewhere else.
Like, from the time I was here,
the baseball team made it,
made it far.
The basketball team made it
to the national championship game.
You know, like, the softball team was always good.
Softball team was always killer.
Always good.
We won a sugar bowl here.
You know what I'm saying?
Around, I don't say it around,
but we turned the program back around.
We had one good year.
Yeah.
I'll be honest.
We had one good year.
We were five or seven of first year.
Yeah, that was tough.
I mean you guys are very notable
Obviously you played a big role in that
Yeah
But he was
My mom loved him for just being
Oh yeah
I mean he's a studded he was the first round pick
But I'm just saying like DeNard Robinson
Like the whole
Shoes Untie thing
Little Wayne was hot back then
You had all the
The blow going on
Like you're just saying you were the man
You know what I mean
Definitely definitely definitely
But like
This university
Basically made me that man
Because we was on TV every week
Yeah
You know so ESPN coming in all the time
And talking to us
They want to be around
They want to talk,
we're walking through campus,
you know what I'm saying?
So, like,
the stuff that University of Michigan brought for me,
I was like, man,
like, I never thought I'd be doing this,
you know what I'm from Diff?
I feel like,
you never heard of Diffa Beach.
And, like, I always tell people,
like, I'm from Diffa Beach,
you can make out anywhere.
If you're from,
wherever you're from,
you can make it out anywhere.
So, like,
I never thought I'd be at University of Michigan.
I thought I was going to be at FAAU.
Like, I'm playing ball there,
you know what I'm saying?
But, like, I got here and took off.
You know, thanks to my old line,
them boys.
Like,
Moog was a stud.
Yeah.
Mug was a stud.
Scoatfield.
His favorite one,
Ricky Barnum,
that's my guy.
Hey,
shout out Ricky Barnum,
dude.
He was a boxer,
because he was my translator
for the line.
So, like,
he's the only thing
that could understand me
and talk to these guys.
So, like,
sometimes, like,
Vincent used to have to tell you guys
the plays,
because they couldn't understand
what I was saying.
So, like,
it's funny that,
like, all that stuff happened,
and now look what I'm at right now.
Like,
when I first came out,
people couldn't understand what I was saying.
Like I literally took a class just to learn how to...
Annunciate.
Yeah.
And Quentin Washington?
Yes.
Quentin Washington had a, like this one guy we played with, he came in with us also,
had a massive stutter, couldn't not talk.
And then he gave a speech his senior year accepting his Mering.
And he spoke beautifully.
Yes.
And it was like he could not...
Like you met him and he couldn't get a sentence out.
What did you say?
What of Nebraska down for their play?
Nebraska is dope, man.
The way you speak about Michigan is like the same way I feel about Nebraska.
It's all the things that you talk about, like alumni facilities, all that stuff.
You get all the bells whistles.
But the people at Nebraska, I feel like, to me, in my opinion, is what is a stick there.
Like Taylor was there last week, and it's like, you know, the same way everybody's treated me here.
He's a very home environment.
Everybody feels welcome.
That's true.
If you could go back, would you do it again?
100%.
No question about it.
No question about it.
Every offer on the table.
Every offer on the table.
Did Michigan offer you?
Yeah, Michigan offered.
Did you come visit?
No, I didn't.
I forget who the line by our coach was at the time.
He had the old guy, white hair.
I can't remember.
I can't remember who the coach was at the whole time.
No.
That had to be, no.
Well, that was before us.
I never came out to visit.
Because if you came to the big house, like literally my official visit, we went in the big house.
I told the coach, I told Rich Riles, said I want to be snoring because I've never seen snowing my life before.
So I was like, I want to be snowing.
And we came up.
Fish visit, we had a snowball fighting in the big house.
Oh, that's dope, man.
You can't beat that kind of.
Like, what school is going to, and the big house is the big house.
I mean, you've been inside that before.
You know how that place is, you know.
So, like, there's no bigger, there's no bigger state in the United States, like, the big house.
I feel like it gets louder.
I feel like it gets louder at Nebraska.
Yeah, it does.
It does.
But the night game, the first night game.
But you guys, again, like, we're comparing, like, I say elite programs.
I know we've been struggling over the years past, but as far as, like, program with the university.
Historical traditional programs.
Yeah, what people put into the program.
Like for me, it was more like playing for Bo Polini staff
and playing for those coaches.
Hindsight, you want to look at a school
and be at a school, look at their academics and everything else.
But I very much, I would still make the same decision
because I feel like Coach Bo and those guys, like I loved my experience.
I was a big fan of Bo.
He's a man, bro.
How did you get to know, Bo?
Was that like the Big Ten media days?
Media days.
And he kind of recruited me a little bit.
Oh, for real?
Bo's fucking awesome, man.
Bo's fucking awesome.
My dad loved Nebraska.
He loved, you know, Nebraska.
Because the quarterbacks, you know, they used to always run the options.
You know what I'm saying?
If you're a candidate, we're probably winning an Addy.
Come on, not, not.
Ted Martin's a lot.
That's enough, Will. You guys didn't have a talent.
Come on now.
Yeah, we did.
Levanti.
Randy Gregory, Kenny Bell.
The year with Sue, when we went to.
Rex Burkhead.
There were, I want to say, three out of the five years I was there,
we were like 10 and two going into the championship game.
Oh, really?
I don't know that.
Yeah.
We lost the Big 12 championship twice.
Back when Sue almost won the Hizeman single-handedly.
didn't really have a quarterback then exactly.
Hey, I love you, brother.
But we scored like seven points that game.
Jesus.
Sue had like five sacks.
Then we played Oklahoma the year after that.
We stopped running Rex Burkhead.
Taylor threw a couple picks.
And then the freaking Big Ten championship game,
we just got dummied by a goddamn Wisconsin.
There's probably nothing we would have been able to do there
because defensively we were garbage.
But I'm just saying I felt like you're like a quarterback.
I say that weirdly because Taylor was like a high.
Heisman candidate and everything else.
But we had good teams, bro.
Definitely.
He was a stud.
I hate to play.
He's still that, dude.
I hate to play.
He had 27.
That one game where y'all woke us.
27.
Yes, that game where y'all ran us out of the whole city,
Levanti had 20.
He was the only one who could hang his hat on something.
So you want me to tell you why I played that way that first time I played against y'all?
It was because of Lavante David.
He played me in high school.
Oh, for real?
No shit.
Because he played a Miami Northwestern.
That's like the prominent Miami.
Miami school.
So, so, like, he beat me, he beat me.
He probably got the worst football store I can ever tell.
Because we were supposed to go to state championship.
Play against North Western.
They beat us.
It was a minute and 30 seconds left.
They won, with 99 yards to win the game.
99?
99 yards to win the game.
Oh, my God.
They had a squad, too.
They had, like Sean Spence.
So imagine, Benjamin?
They had, they had Sean Spence.
They had Levante David.
Travis Benjamin?
Travis Benjamin.
You know, they had, they had Tommy Streeter.
they had Adiris Johnson, they had
Kendall Tompkins,
Kenil Tompkins, I think he went to, I think he went to
University of Cincinnati.
So they had, like, they had,
they part was the D1 College.
It was the D1 College, legit.
Like, their whole team was like,
they had a documentary on that school.
Yes.
Their whole team was like going,
everybody went to Miami.
You had Levante went to,
I think he ended up going to, like, a Juco first,
and then he went to Nebraska.
And then, like, those dudes were already ready.
They was, they was ready.
Like, we played them, and literally is only,
we only had, I only had three D-D,
one the dudes on my team.
Oh, damn.
And we took them to the right.
We should have won the game.
So, like, that ate me up.
Like, that drove me to be like, okay, I'm going to be the best player.
Like, so that game we played against you.
I was like, we're playing a guy with the Northwestern when I'm playing.
You're like playing Levanta.
You're playing Miami Northwestern.
I was playing Miami Northwestern that game.
That's crazy.
I had no idea about that story.
That is crazy.
I never tell people that story because, like, that was a heartbreak because that was the game
to go to state.
Whoever won that game was going to win a state championship.
Yeah.
And they beat us.
It was last game in the Orange Bowl.
So, like, that was like, I was like, fuck.
So, like, I, when I, I shook Levante David Hand after that game.
I was like, yeah, this is a Northwestern game.
He probably don't remember that, but I remember saying that, so I was like,
that's a Northwestern game, man.
Yeah.
I literally, literally, I had to beat you just because of that reason.
Yeah, well, y'all did work at that game, for sure.
Yeah.
It's been fun, man.
Hey.
Let me ask you this question.
I want to ask you this question.
Who was the best D&U blocked while you was in college?
Um, because we had some guys.
Like at Michigan?
Yeah, at Michigan.
Oh, Frank Clark.
No, no, no.
I'm sorry.
Shout out, nitty.
Oh, played against.
Yeah, yeah, shout out, Frank Clark.
Nitty.
The best, I don't know, because my, our, my registered freshman here was Cameron Hayward, your boy.
Carrigan.
Ryan Carrigan.
Uh, J.J. Y.
Oh, shit.
What was the D.N from Michigan State that slapped Taylor?
Ghostin.
Ghostin.
We still got beef with you, man.
Yeah.
I broke his.
bitch ass off that next year, though.
Yes, you did.
Yes, you did.
Hey, Will, no bullshit.
Taylor trained the whole summer
with a picture of Will Goldston.
And every time, I remember that game.
There was a screen lock on my phone.
I knew his mom's name.
I knew where you lived.
Did you get a personal penalty
to first play the game name?
Yeah.
Taylor said, I remember Taylor saying that whole week,
like, yeah, I'm just letting y'all know,
we starting off, like, first and whatever.
What was?
First, another 15, you know.
He was, but, but, we had came to agree with.
He was like, I'm going to jump all sides.
I'm going to knock his head off.
Yeah.
And that's going to set the tone of the game.
But he tried to break your head down.
He tried to, like, rip my neck.
He, like, tried to bring my neck.
He was trying to do some dirty shit when we were there.
And we, we didn't win that game by a lot because it was, like, a defensive game.
It was, like, 9 to 6.
But I never seen Taylor so focused on, like, a person for a whole year straight.
So, yeah, I focused on him different.
I'll tell the story after we get off the camera.
I'll tell you what I did.
But, yeah, Will Goldson.
It was, like, revenge tour, the whole, the whole.
Yeah.
He was, like, the lock screen on my phone.
legit.
Yeah, I get that.
Yeah.
Because that was a tough look.
He put, well, the whole week they're like,
because they knew I get a lot of penalties.
They're like, you can't overreact.
They're going to do something.
Don't overreact.
The whole time in my head, I'm like,
if they do anything, I can't overreact.
And he fucking punched me.
And I was like, first off, hurt like a motherfucker.
That shit hurt so bad in me.
I turned around.
I was like, I'm going to fucking kill this guy.
I'm going to fucking kill this, ma'am.
Whatever.
They showed us up.
They beat her ass too.
They beat her ass that game.
Their little kid came in.
They were, they was more aggressive than we was that game.
Like, all the way around.
Like, they literally was doing everything nasty.
Like, they would take pillings and didn't get, didn't get two shit.
Like, the coach, it seemed like the coach said, okay.
Antonio?
Yeah, it's see like he said, like, just go play however you want to fucking play.
Anything afterwards would just do it.
Like, we're going to sit in the message.
We never won at Michigan State.
No.
They were, that stadiums was loud.
Yeah.
Props to them for sure.
Hey, last question I got Taylor.
I always wanted to ask you, what happened with you and Richard Sherman that time?
Oh, what that? Marcus?
Oh, no, oh, that's your boy.
Well, it was a...
Josh Norman.
Josh Norman.
Josh Norman.
My fault, not Richard Sherman.
Oh, Jay-No?
Yeah, so we were in...
It was like Christmas.
It was like the day before Christmas.
And we're playing the Redskins, now known as the commanders.
Shout out the commies.
Shout out the commies.
And it's four minutes.
We're winning the game.
And Derek, we run left, smart move.
Oh, that's right.
And we run left, Derek.
It's like four yards.
And Josh Norman tackles on charge of a gator roll.
his leg. So I get in his
face. Derek's my fucking dude. I love Derek
so much. I get in his
face and he starts mouthing off to me
or whatever. So after the game, he's like on the
sidelines like this kind of just like real upset.
And I go, hey, Josh,
he looks up with me, I go, get
the fuck off my field, bro.
And he's like, would you say it? And I
go to do it again. And he fucking throws the helmet
at me and I put it up one more time and he smacks
the shit out of my hand. You stood a tent to, if
the definition of ten toes
was in the dictionary, it would be you standing
in there.
Just continuously to do it.
Just shouldn't speak arrows out.
That was his celly, right?
That was just like his go-to move.
When you pull out the arrow, that's your boy, too.
Yeah, I always wanted to hear
what happened in there, bro.
I appreciate that, man.
Wilson is a nice guy.
Oh, he is a nice dude.
He's a nice dude like that.
He shared a good chirp at you later, right?
Oh, yeah, he did.
The P-cup.
Oh, that's right, bro.
After Taylor had gotten suspended.
Because after that happened
with the Taylor and the bow and arrow thing,
We had a guy who runs a, it's called Hang 10 merchandise.
And he sent Josh Norman a shirt that says Taylor Wan is my dad.
But Josh probably thought like Taylor sent him that thing.
So whenever Taylor got suspended, Josh figured, tried to find out,
had his assistant reach out and try to figure out,
hey, what is Taylor Wan's address who sent this shirt, tried to get the address?
And obviously Ryan's like, you know, I didn't say anything and I kind of hung up or whatever.
Ryan's guy who owns Tang Tan.
The guy who owns Tang Tan. Yeah, my fault.
And so Josh figures out the return address and sends like an empty P-cup in the mail.
She's it to Ryan's address like, all right, he'll get the message.
I'm sure he'll pass it along.
That was a phenomenal chirp back.
You know, I wanted to start like a fake beef when I was at Jacksonville and you was playing Tennessee.
I want to start a fake beef with you.
Yeah, there was no way that was going to happen.
I know.
There was no chance of that ever happened.
I was so mad that I could.
I want to have a fake beef so.
bad, but I was like,
you probably could have
if he was on defense.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
But, like, if you was there,
I would, I would,
I want to start it with you.
A fake beef?
Yes.
Probably.
It was a lot back.
I was like running back.
I would have a fake beef with him.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
I mean, I feel like...
It would have been a good fake beef.
The way we got a little,
the way we had a good banter earlier.
It would have been a good fake beef.
Yes.
That'd have been fun for you guys.
So do you have a fake beef with somebody in the league right now?
I guess Jaylen would be my fake beef now.
Could I fuck with Jalen?
Why would he be your fake beef then?
Because we used to really beef.
And now...
Oh, that's right.
He's our boy now.
Well, he hit me up the other day to go to the, like, the premiere of Batman.
He had like a private screen before.
I can't believe you didn't go.
I didn't go.
I didn't put the kids.
Because my kids are going to go see Batman when they're four, Dandard.
No, no, no, no.
My daughter gets scared of trolls, dude.
I'm not putting her to see Batman, a scary-ass voice.
The Joker running out of nowhere.
Well, you want to kill me.
Exactly.
Hey, shout out to you.
I heard you got a baby on the way coming in days away.
Yeah, days away, bro.
Congrats.
Are you ready right now, man?
I don't think so, but I don't feel like it's one of those things you're prepared for until you've got to go through it.
You know what I mean?
You're right.
You got to be in it, homie.
So what kind of car you're driving with the baby?
No question.
It's not even a thought.
If you're going to have a baby in the back of your car, it has to be a Chevy.
Yeah.
It's the only way to get done.
Reliable.
The most advanced dependable vehicle on the market.
and the multiflex tailgate they have now.
Oh, it's crazy.
Unbelievable.
It goes nuts, man.
Six configurations.
We won't get into that, but just look into it.
Okay.
I heard about it.
I'll do.
I heard about it.
Hey, I appreciate you guys, man.
It was awesome, man.
Awesome.
Hey, guys, it's us.
The Jonas Brothers.
I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?

We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to our first people to do podcasts.

way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick, tired and sick.
