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, S&L'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,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
podcast.
What's up, fam?
It's Isaiah Thomas.
And I'm C.J. Toledano.
It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, Point Game, the playoffs.
We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season.
And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments.
If we didn't talk ever again, I was crying.
You just understood.
That's how personal it got.
Wow.
Then after that game seven, Marquis come in.
He's like, you know, I love you, dog.
You know, it's all love.
This was just playoffs.
This was just basketball.
So listen to Point Game on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your
Podcasts.
Oh, now we're on, dude.
I just wanted, I was eating a donut, for those of you listening or maybe watching one of the cameras on.
Just eating my feelings, dude.
I've had two meals in 48 hours.
But I bet they've been tasty.
Hey, they've been crazy.
I know.
I've been tasty.
I'm about Chinese food.
Oh, we had pizza after the game.
Yeah.
Oh, I remember.
Yeah.
So I haven't eaten a lot.
But when I've eaten, I've eaten a kill.
Right.
You know what you have for breakfast?
What's been your favorite breakfast meal?
I haven't even had breakfast, I don't think.
I haven't eaten today.
When we were on FaceTime yesterday, you were talking about pancakes.
Yeah, that was my other meal.
It was like a fried chicken sandwich and pancakes.
Hey.
And there were, you couldn't, there were no survivors.
You know what I'm saying?
There was nothing there, dude.
People were asking for help.
Couldn't help them.
Mouth was too full.
Mouth was too full.
Do we even, should we do the, before we get all negative,
we should probably talk about probably the most positive thing in all of 2021 and heading into 2022.
Like it's crazy you get a player of the year type of mentality and you know they're about to do it for a second year in a row.
It's like there's no one really touching them.
And that's the Chevy Silverado, you know?
2021 is the news.
Talk about the news of 2022.
I haven't even broken it yet.
Dude, you guys, it's really not even us.
All we were was the messengers, right?
Yeah, we're the middleman.
We're the middleman.
Chevy said, hey, we want you just to just.
We want you to do us a solid.
And we said, go ahead, bud, what you need.
I said, we want you to spread the word about the most durable, reliable truck out there.
And we said, okay, right?
Yeah.
That's all we said was K.
We've sent, though, and with a period, since then, we've been telling you guys this whole
entire year, really just half the year since October.
Yeah.
Since October, how much the Chevy Silverado does everything and they're going to take care
of you.
Chevy's the greatest of all time.
And what did you guys do?
You match that energy.
You went out.
And Chevy has now called us and said, we can't, we can't.
can't be without you now. You're such a staple of our
foundation that we need you to come
for another round. So here we are.
22. Shevys
the presenting sponsor. It's a presenting sponsor.
It's outstanding.
Did we see it coming? No quesh.
Right? We saw it coming.
We would have been a little let down.
No, there would have definitely been a little bit of a letdown.
But I think stars were aligning.
When you have a bus as
durable from a podcast standpoint,
not necessarily a driving standpoint, as us
and a vehicle, it just
works perfect, right?
The Chevy Silverado is the most durable, reliable vehicle ever.
Chevrovalo really made some news.
And we're not just talking about Silverado and the Lowman Award or Coach Prime
and all the goodness Dion's bringing.
Okay.
They gave us that line to read and I feel like they were really pumping up Dion there,
but we did good too, right?
I just gassed us up that whole time.
All the good news that the boys have brought all the 2021.
We're talking product news.
The Silverwado ZR2,
Chevy's new flagship off-road truck was introduced in September
and in the spring you'll be able to see it at your
I would say local Chevy dealer
For us I think it's easy
Freeland.
Yeah, Freeland Chevrolet.
When I'm having a tough day, like we lost to the Bengals,
I drove to Freeland just to sit in the parking lot
because I knew like, I need this kind of reliability.
You know what I'm saying?
You're asking.
They were trying to give me a tow truck winches everywhere.
I was like, hey, boys, I'm good.
I've been here before.
You know what I'm saying?
But then knew that the boys sent me.
And what's next for 2020?
dot, dot, dot, time.
Just a couple days ago,
da, dot, dot, dot.
Chevy revealed the first ever
all-electric silver bottle built from the ground
up on the ultum,
ultium, ultium, is that right?
Ultium.
I struggle too.
Yeah, Ultium battery platform
that brings it with new power,
new flexibility, and of course,
a new range of what is possible in a truck.
That's outstanding, right?
We're going green, everybody.
It's a beautiful thing.
I'm a gearhead myself.
I can't really change the oil,
but I love looking at cars
in the way they sound,
but I love that we're reducing our eco footprint.
It's a beautiful thing, right?
Right, left, anywhere you're sitting between.
It's nice to be able to breathe.
I think we can all say that, right?
Amen.
We've seen the Silverado EV, and it's really cool on the outside and on the inside.
It's got all kinds of new features, just a lot of first for an EV truck.
Head over to Chevy.com to learn more and reserve your Silverado EV today.
You crushed it.
I do.
I just, I crushed it because I love Chevy Silverado.
You know?
How's it treated you all year long?
Just as durable as can be.
Dependable?
Yeah.
I had a buddy who had another truck.
I won't say the brand, but I will say the first letter.
F.
And he was stuck in a ditch in one of those snowstorms.
And he said,
you drove right by him?
No, no, no.
I pulled over because he's a boy.
Right?
He subscribes you rate five stars.
Just because he didn't make the best decision in his life.
Doesn't mean I need to make sure he's late to work.
Pulled his out of there, no problem.
Bing, bang, boom.
We're out there in time.
And I bet he's going to head over to Freeland Chevrolet this off season
to get himself a nice little shabby,
brought up, maybe the EV.
And let them know that the boys send.
And the boys, I mean, the boys are always sending you, right?
I think that's enough of getting into ad mode.
Let's go back to being satisfied.
Yeah, that was a, what, four, three, four minute ad read right there.
So shout out Chevy for that presenting sponsorship.
We're back, baby.
Huh?
I know, we are back.
We're back, baby.
And we're back for real.
We're back for real.
Every time you were coming on, it'd be like a surprise or somebody would ruin the surprise, Jack.
That's crazy, too.
We still got to talk about that live.
But obviously, definitely, definitely.
a year of ebbs and flows, peaks and valleys.
But we are
officially back. We have a huge
year ahead for everybody. We don't know what's
coming, but I'm saying that because
I believe in us, and I know it we're capable of.
Yeah, you don't know what's coming, but get out of the way.
Right, right. There's a freight train coming, baby.
What did I say? Always ready, never prepared, man.
I don't know if that,
is that the way we want to go about it?
That's not a great thing. Yeah, yeah. I kind of liked it,
though. Always ready, never prepared.
I would almost go with knees, been ahead, and a swivel over
that.
I like that. I like that.
tried and true statement.
I like that too.
It's a one-up on me, but I do like that.
I was getting ready for this podcast this morning,
and I put this poncho on,
two for 25-up at pilots, if anybody's wondering.
And I was like, I wore this last time I was on the pod.
I think you've worn it every day.
I thought, I need to change.
Yeah, dude, I don't really change very much.
I'm in depression mode.
It's either that or the pitter-patter, let's get out of a shirt.
That's only in the fall when the weather hasn't broke yet.
That's in the fall when the weather hasn't broke yet.
But I want to show off the arms,
better fatter.
In a first-gen spooktober-tobater.
Yeah.
that pitter-patter let's get at her or this one right here that one right yeah that one of my
first generation embrace the spook with the uh jason bore he's on the back
still one of my favorite spooks of all time god i can't wait for october i know we're we're really
dancing around the sadness we need to live in that for no i don't want to live in it yet let me beat
this bush for a second right or at least beat around it okay cannot wait for spooktober
it's going to be an exciting year again full of this hang on hang on don't say again
Talk about like this and the execution.
Don't say it again.
I think we did a good job executing a couple years ago.
This past year was tough.
It was tough.
Your boy was missing a couple games.
You're right.
It's hard to like tweet when people are like, kill him.
Right.
You know.
Fighting it.
You feel like, hey, kill him.
Yeah.
Like, damn, bro, my back.
Stown this bitch ass.
Hey, bro, it's my back, chill.
Just catching straight bullets because you're my boy.
Right.
Tough.
Yeah.
It's tough to live out of here, dude.
It's tough to be in the stands watching those games.
It's hard.
that one game especially.
Right, right, right.
Week one, I had to leave the stadium.
Week one, Will was my ride at home.
I had to catch an Uber.
You know what I'm saying?
I got done.
I'm like sitting there kind of sad, like kicking rocks and I'm like, where's Will?
Three hours later, I didn't even catch a drift.
I was, we were an Uber then.
It was darker.
I was scared.
My family was one where I was.
Phone was dead.
But yeah, you were definitely battle in injuries.
You couldn't be in the Twitterverse that much.
Yeah, no, it's a bummer too.
Spooktober was kind of like, I hate to admit it,
it kind of a wash this past year.
It was a wash.
But that's living in reality.
We're not going to, we're not going to, you know, fluff it.
Right?
We take accountability.
We get better.
Be better.
This year, we'll be excited.
We'll be ready to go for Spooktober.
That's January.
It's 10 months.
I know.
It's not even close.
We'll be ready to go in 10 months.
Yeah.
So many things are going to happen until then that we could also be way more excited about
because it's sooner.
For sure.
But what about Spooktober that we let down last year?
A month of Spooktober.
I know, dude.
Eight minutes.
Eight minutes of small talk.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Let's start this thing.
Yeah, so the sadness of the game.
Let's be sad. What the fuck happened out there?
Oh, I have no fucking idea.
Like, when we threw a pick to first play of the game,
literally all of us were like, okay.
Like, don't matter.
I turned around.
I was like, hey, we didn't expect that one to happen, boys.
Let's, uh, let's, uh, we're lying.
Sourty God.
We were just all sitting up there quiet.
We kind of like, I told you what the play was, right?
Yeah.
I thought it about the first play of the game was a pass.
Like, we're going to rip it on.
It's going to be great.
They're going to be ready to go against, stop Derek Henry.
He's going to be hoping.
And then, yeah.
Then that play happened
And I was like
Yeah, that's probably the last thing
We thought would happen
But let's fucking
Let's get back in this game boys
Let's get back
But once our defense stopped him for three
I was like, we're going to win this game big
Yeah
The whole time I really thought that
Trust me
The thought and the energy
And the hype and the excitement
Leading up to the end of the game
Bro and the electricity of the stadium
Oh my God
It's the best I've ever seen it
In my life
But you should have been an Acme
Yo, I heard
I heard my boy was A list
Oh bro
It was crazy.
McConaughey could have walked in there,
but like, fuck this dude, Will!
Like, they fucking loved you out there.
I mean, we were all fucking chanting.
Everyone shan,
for the boys,
for the boys.
We have,
since the people were in there
in a corner and hyping it up,
like, it was great, dude.
They were like,
they're yelling,
they're screaming,
they're hootay chan.
The Titans fans are flipping them off.
We're just,
everyone's having a great time.
We're doing chugs with the chug,
but by the way,
go pick those up.
Yeah, shut up,
just mic.
But the energy was electric,
dude.
And was it that way
even throughout the watch party?
Because we ended up believing to go
To go obviously see the game
Yeah, they were on the sideline for the game
Taylin and Will were absolutely gone
Shit-faced
Like trying to talk to me about shit
I'm going after warm-ups
Like you're both
Yeah, you're going with the blinders on dude
I'm the thoroughbred
I'm in the gates
And you're like, hey, by the way
What's up my boy?
And I'm like, yo, I'm fucking out of here, dude
I'm trying to get hype with each player walking by
Yeah, let's go, let's go
All right, Will
Hey, well, Braves was trashing you today about that
That's hilarious.
Yeah, he's just chirping the boy.
He's like, Will thinking he's a fucking celebrity on the sideline.
You know how he's racist.
He's such a hater, man.
Oh, he's not a hater.
You know what?
That's just how he shows love.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, ask Carter and Tyler.
I bet they're like, I was in the, I was in the braybo punch him in the arm that man, I love you.
Yeah, I was in his suite.
I was in the Vrabble suite with all, with his family.
Hey, that's a weird flex.
Just, I had to put that out there because everybody that thinks like rape chirps, like, yeah, you know.
Hey, rape chirps, everybody, though.
I've raised him doesn't trip you and just lets you go about your business
He fucking hates you
Right, because he walked up
He's like, hey, you know, we need to get you out there
And I was like, hey, what's up?
I took off my jacket with the jersey
I tried hitting a little punset for him
And then he just walked off
He didn't really...
Bro, that's so funny
He threw you a bone
And he asked for a glass of milk here
You fucking terrible
You could have had something there
Right
He pat me on the back and I shit in his hand
Yeah, exactly.
On the ass
And we both fucked up both those phrases
That's how sad we are
Yeah.
That's how sad we are.
You're not really that sad.
You know.
You wanted the boys to lose.
I didn't want the boys to lose.
Okay.
Hang on, don't do this.
Like, don't do this.
Don't do what?
Like, what were you going to say?
Okay, so I get to go.
Don't say it.
So what do you want me to do?
Sit here?
You really think I wanted you guys to lose.
If I had a chance to clarify.
Okay, okay.
Go ahead.
Yeah, I think you wanted the boys to lose.
No, I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
Dude, I really think,
I don't think you want.
the boys to lose, but the thought of the boys getting that ring without you on the roster,
it ate at me.
Right there.
It ate at me a little bit.
It was right there.
And by the way, that hoodie's unbelievable.
Is that a new piece?
Yeah, it's our, this one, I don't know if this one are the great one, but our new
hoodies are the bestsellers right now.
It's crazy, dude.
The material's incredible.
Feel it.
Yeah, Marty Mush was in one.
Don't lift too high.
I just started the, uh, I just started the, uh, you know, diet.
We got the diet going in a couple of weeks.
Books season.
Yeah.
Is that Alex said right there?
Yeah, I think.
Yeah, dude, if we were out there hosting a Lombardi trophy, like, yeah, you're hype for the boys.
Right.
But in your head, like, a lot of things to go through your head, but one thing that would go through your head is like, damn, Taylor's always got this on me now.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think I would have thought Taylor's going to be like, damn, like, he's going to bring, because I get the replica put in the back.
Once you started making it, and once you started chirping, yeah, once you made a scene, like, yeah, yeah, once you made it that way, I'd have been like, yeah, damn, he's always got this on me.
But yeah, I think I would just been like, fuck, I wish I was on the roster with the boys, man.
God.
We all wish you were there too.
We all wanted the boy there.
In spirit.
Yeah.
I mean, once you gave out that information to me
before the news team he came out about
Playoff Willie getting cut before we were using Playoff Willie.
I told John.
I mean, we were all in the chat together.
I literally went up to him.
I'm going to tell you something.
But you can't tell no one.
Like, you can't tell anybody because this is like a secret information.
He looked at me like I was like, this is a real thing.
Hey, John, come here first.
Step aside for a second.
Yeah.
These are in warmups.
Hey, the Raiders are going to cut Will today.
he starts flicking his pants
like he had a boner dude
he was like really you think we can get him
I was like I clear waivers
you know what I'm saying
deep in that waiver wire
yeah yeah
you better hope fucking jaggs weren't like we need them
you could be like you know you guys pulled
Zach Cunningham but
yeah you might be able to get a little
I think you and Zach are a toss up
if you're drafting either one of you
you really got to think like
you guys both have pros
you guys both have cons right
I think the edge goes to you
do you want to build
your roster around talent or do you want to build it around leadership?
Are you saying Zach's not a good leader?
No, I'm laughing because I just heard the whole back
and I had their reaction and you kind of were just
like look down and like we're thinking about it.
No, because once you said that, I was like, I can't say nothing
that's my teammate. So I can't like go on with this shirt.
You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm your boy. It was fun.
You stood in my wedding.
Yeah, I did. In the back.
Yeah, I had to go behind.
When Will was going through his cruise
I'm not saying nothing to put the boy under the bus.
But he's like, hey, I'm trying to figure out the groomsman.
I don't want this person or that person.
I'm like, dude, just do it shortest to tallest.
It'll be the easiest way.
That way no one gets mad about their lineup.
Knowing damn well in my head, I got this thing in my back pocket.
If something like, this situation comes up.
There's a perfect time.
I'm glad you didn't put all that out there.
But I gave it to him only to have something for me.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's what a relationship is, folks.
You know?
Yeah.
And when he said that I was like, that is a good idea.
And he would end up in the back, which would be a better look.
I didn't want to hurt Nick's feelings.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, Nick.
Because you did ask me to be your best man, and I was like, I can't do it to Nick.
Okay, then now we're...
Yeah, you're right.
And I'm, I don't want to hurt Nick's feelings.
You're right.
Well, you're kind of just adding in fluff.
It's ain't porn, bud.
There's no fluffing here.
Yeah, I mean, you kind of lost...
You kind of fell out of the best man running when you didn't go to the bachelor party.
Well, well, you would understand.
I was trying to rehab an ACL.
Hindsight's 2020, probably should have gone
because week one would have gone either way.
You know?
Probably came back too early anyway, right?
Pride.
Probably comes before the fall.
Yeah.
So the game, dude.
I know.
It's hard to even talk about it.
Like, I watched a film,
and, like, they just had more guys
than we could block it certain times in certain areas.
We had to play on fourth and one,
and they had more guys that we could block.
You know, there's penetration in certain areas.
The boy Taney's out there taking a lot of heat.
We're talking about stowing him and stung him.
I've seen the tweets out there.
They've got that week one, LeWan vibe on him.
Somebody had like a rope meme in one of the fucking replies,
which is a little fucked up.
Yeah, yeah, the noose always...
The noose really kills a vibe.
Kills a vibe, bro.
Yeah, but it's more funny.
There's no...
There's no...
There's no...
It's just SpongeBob, halfway...
It's a levitating too.
You never know.
That is a news contradiction.
That is. You bringing that up?
Is Jack the one that put the news?
I had a little...
Is Jack the one that put the news?
And that's why he's coming out of you?
But it was like a how-to thing too.
Like, it just really kills a fucking vibe.
What do you guys think?
As a fan, like don't, like, don't sit here
and like, if you say whatever you feel,
you're able to speak for it.
You're able to speak to.
I'm going to speak too, but I don't want to speak
and sway their opinions.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So I want to hear what they have to say first.
I was telling well earlier, the reality of the loss set in today.
Yesterday was more of like a recovery trying to figure it all out.
Yeah, you got what it happened?
Yeah, but it still didn't feel real.
Like, there seemed like there's so many opportunities where it could have gone our way and it just didn't.
Yeah.
I don't know, you know, from a fan perspective, it hurts, obviously.
The whole city was convinced, and I still feel convinced that we were going to go to the Super Bowl,
like even this morning when I woke up.
And then it's like, nah, it's over.
I don't know.
I don't want to, like, put it all on Tanny.
He had a couple bad throws, but, like, there was a lot of those picks, too,
they were, like, right there fingertips.
And I don't know.
It's tough.
Very sad.
Sad for the city.
Sad for y'all.
Put in the work.
I don't know.
I mean, it's one of those things where I don't have much to say.
Just kind of.
I'd say what?
That's just sad.
Yeah, he is sad.
When we lost and it was like, it's like, damn, it's all over.
Raiders are out, Titans are out, there's no, like, playoff Willie's dead.
Yeah, there's no more fun.
Like, you get the perspective of like being a true fan and like rooting so hard and playing into these bullshit-ass characters we make up.
And like, damn, fun, the fun is like over.
Like, we don't get to have the Acme session again.
And you see that selfishness of a fan of being so mad at a team for losing because you more so just don't get to have fun anymore.
Like, rooting for that team.
It's so much fun at Acme.
And it almost made it worse.
Like how good our tailgate was, it's like, then we lost and was like, fuck that tailgate.
Like, I'm never going to be.
That tailgate happened.
And we're like walking over the stadium.
I'm like, man, this thing's going to be even crazier next week.
Swear.
The one thing you hope from something like that being the one seed from like a player hoping for the fans is like, we made fans this year.
Like when I got here in 14 and as it's gone, like the fans have gotten better and better and better.
People saw the low.
We got the die hearts.
We got diehards.
wrong.
But I'm saying like teams that have been around forever, like the Steelers and Packers,
like even Detroit.
You know what I'm saying?
They got the diehards.
And we're just a younger franchise.
And so you like to hope and think like, man, we're a one seed playoff team this year.
Next year going in that week one game, you're really hoping is going to be like a packed
house again.
You really hope that you're just going to get more and more fans as you go and you're just
growing that fan base.
Because we've had a lot of heartbreak.
this year as far as like, you know,
kind of in Classic Titans fashion
being like, we lose to the teams
we shouldn't lose to and we win to the teams we shouldn't
win. You know what I'm saying?
We shouldn't, we shouldn't have won.
Like, everyone was like, we shouldn't have won to the
bills or against the chiefs or the Rams.
You know what I'm saying? Like, all that.
But then you lose to the Jets and Houston, but that's like,
people are going to understand, like, even if a team
is a bad win-loss record,
you could still lose.
Like, the bills lost to the Jags.
Nine to six.
Right.
Like the NFL is the fucking...
Like the NFL.
Like everyone's paid.
And sometimes you have good days.
You have bad days.
You just hope that there's carryover.
Like, because seeing Nissan Stadium like that was fucking electric.
It was cool as shit.
Oh, dude.
Really?
Bro, it was so loud.
It's the only time in my career at a home game that I've had to lean in to somebody talking to me because I couldn't hear all the demons on the field.
Only time ever.
Yeah.
You know?
And when you're like, came to me.
Kansas City, like, you can't hear a damn thing.
When you play, like, Kansas City, you play Baltimore in that, that divisional game.
Like, you can't hear nothing.
Like, you're literally just mouthing words at each other and hoping to God, like, you can read their lips.
Right.
And it was almost that vibe.
And so you see the Titans are now doing like a $600 million renovation and it's just going to get better and better.
This town's really buying it.
Oh, I was going to say the buy-in is happening, bro.
Like, and I feel like, too, the expectation.
Like, I think next year, going into next year,
it's more, it's like, you go 11 and 5 last year, 12 and 5 this year,
and you go one and out, like next year.
It just seems like it's going to feel like a long season
because all that matters is what the boys are going to do.
And not to obviously be ahead and think we're going to be in the playoffs,
but it's like we got to get to the playoffs and then like the season starts
because you want to win in the first round.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got, I mean.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, exactly.
You want to win them all.
but you got to win the first one.
Right.
You got to win the first one.
I see Brave doing his press conference and everything else.
I mean, man, it's like you just want to fast forward and get to where, you know, the boys make it, get into the playoffs.
And it's all about that fucking winning that first game because.
No.
Boys haven't won since, obviously, they've been spoiled a little bit.
You guys went three years in a row now making the push of the AFC championship, 11 and 5 and out in the first round last year, 12 and 5 and out as a one-seat this year.
Do you feel like being a one-seat and having that by week hurt you guys at all?
No, I think it helped.
I think it helped.
I just think the cars didn't go our way in this game.
Because I think you can tell, you know how it is during a week when you watch practice,
when you see the energy at practice, you're like, how are the guys feeling?
During the divisional week, dude, it was like you would have thought we were like fresh at a camp.
Like dudes are flying around.
Guys are ready to play.
No one seemed tired.
It was just like we were ready.
And Braves did an amazing job on the biweek too.
It wasn't a grinder.
It was like we had a couple days of working out and stuff like that and conditioning.
and he's like, it's on you guys.
Like, you got to stay in shape.
Like, take these three, four days,
relax, get away from football.
Come back, ready to go.
And look how fresh our defense looked.
And our offense was playing fast.
It's just, you know,
there were times we were running the ball
against a goal line defense
in the middle of the field.
Like, it was just tough.
And there was times we blocked it.
You know, Borman had that big run.
And it was, they had too many guys to block there.
you know, and it just worked.
And we've been in situations a couple years ago.
We were playing the Patriots at home.
They were in a 6-2 front, 6-1 front in a 4-minute,
and Derek was just slicing them up.
You know, so it just didn't go our way.
And I think a lot of fans are saying we lost that game more than the Bengals won it.
Like, here's a deal.
I said that too.
Did you?
I'm part of that.
I'm part of that.
When you win, you get to win with grace.
When you lose, you got to lose with grace.
Like, there's a winner and a loser in competition.
And they won.
Like, we might have hurt ourselves.
in a lot of ways, but they still won the game.
Yeah.
So, I mean, Joey Brewer has got swag, dude.
And stuff to be a gracious loser.
It's fucking hard to be a gracious loser.
It sucks, dude.
It sucks.
But as long as you use it, I don't know.
What does McGregor say?
Like, you sleep on a win, you wake up with a loss.
Okay.
I was thinking of, like, the humble and defeat.
Yeah, humble and defeat, humble and victory.
And then he called Boyer's Wife a Whore.
Yeah.
sometimes it flows like that
you know what I'm saying?
It just flows different
Sometimes shit just flows like that dude
It just dude
This one was shitty because
Like when we went to the AFC championship
Like we all thought we were going the Super Bowl
But like we proved everybody wrong
For multiple weeks
Right
And it feels like in a way that like
Somehow we kind of prove people right
People saying like oh we're the worst one seat
We definitely weren't the worst one seat ever
Like we've we fought
That game came down in the wire
like we deserve to be the one seed our record says it we played we played ball but when you have the national media doubting you like you really just want to you know earn the earn the respect to the national media they don't it doesn't mean anything right doesn't mean anything when like if you know if k adams picks the titans to win that doesn't change nothing you know if rich eisen picks us doesn't change anything we still got to go win but it just seemed like it just seemed tough it just this one hurt more because
there was so much more expectation.
Like we all thought everyone here on this bus,
I thought we were going to Super Bowl.
Oh, bro.
In my head, I'm like, like, Rable said during the biweek,
the playoff by week, he's like,
these next three days, like, do what you need to do
and then tell everybody, like, you're booked up for the next month.
Like, we're fucking going.
Tannel had a fucking great little speech.
Like a classic goosebumps speech going into that byway for the break.
And everyone's just like, you know.
stood up and
yeah
so boys I ain't got a lot to say
yeah and then he said a lot
yeah
and he fucking killed it
and you're just like
just tough
just tough as an offense
I hope like
like our defense
came into this camp
with a chip on their shoulder
like they
they got dummied a lot
two years ago
statistically was a bad defense
and they came in
and they came in
was like
chip on their shoulder
and I don't think
by no means
that our offense
I think we were just going to be
great just because
just because you guys had all the weapons
I just hope that we come in
I hope we come into OTAs hope we come into camp
with that same mentality as our defense did last year
and if that happens
then we'll have an opportunity to be in the same position
yeah
yeah it just fucking sucks man
what was the vibe on the sideline throughout the game
oh we're gonna win
like there was never like
dude we've been in so many games
decided by three or less
like it's just part of it
like when we played the Colts at home we spotted them 14 points
And even then we're like, yeah, we just got to score sooner.
Like, it was really like, there wasn't like a thought process of like, damn, like, that's, this culture is not the issue.
Like, when you get up on some teams in the NFL that don't have that culture yet, I've been a part of it.
Like, you can just tell.
They're like, fuck, it's over.
And it's the first quarter.
And for us, it's like, we just don't think like that.
And it's not just one guy.
It's like a collective group of like all these dudes that really think we're just going to win every single game.
You know what I'm saying?
It just sucks.
It does.
Watching that kid go through the uprights.
Legit, like.
What was going to your mind when that third pick happened?
When that pick happened for them, they're like, oh, shit, now they're fucking on office.
They're about to get in field goal range.
Yeah, I looked up at the time and our timeout, and I was like, hey, we got a chance.
Because they were out of field goal range.
They're on the fringe area.
They're like on the 50, right, when they picked it off.
And then they got a penalty for taunting, which put them back 15.
or 20 or 5. I'm sorry or 10.
I'm not sure what a taunting
penalty is. How many yards?
No, no, no. That's why
quickly retracted that. Yeah, 15s as far as it goes.
15, 20, 30.
Is that 50 yard penalty? They start on their own
end zone.
So, like, in my mind,
I'm like doing the math in my head. Like, okay, there's this
much time left. We have this many timeouts.
I'm thinking, we're about to get, like, let's see if we can get this
ball back. You know, because the way we were doing
two minute, we had,
it was 225 or right around then,
and you have all your timeouts
and you have the two minute,
like you're in regular ball
from the 25-yard line.
Like you got to get, you know,
a couple of chunks.
That's not a huge issue,
especially when you're in a two-minute situation.
Their rush,
I mean, they had Trey Hendrickson
who has, you know, had 15 sacks this year.
He does a good job getting off.
But like, they had dudes that were hurting the interior.
In my head, I'm like,
we're going to be able to protect.
You know what I'm saying?
So once, and any time that happens,
you give Taney some time.
He usually diced his dudes up
no problem. So I'm thinking in my head like, okay, what's the vibe here? Are we going or are we
going to run it? So when we started like running it and playing the time clock, you could tell
like the situation was, is we're going to get it to where we need to go, run it down to like nine,
eight seconds, and then kick the field goal for the win. Worse come to worse, we punt and go to
overtime. And even then, we have home field advantage. Our offense can line up an instant just like
theirs can. I'm not taking anything from that. I'm just thinking this is our, this is my thought
of the mindset of what we were doing.
Right.
Our defense is playing lights fucking out.
Nine sacks.
Dude, Joe Bro, couldn't breathe.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm laughing because I'm thinking of,
we can talk about Larry, too.
Yeah.
The Q Spain tweet after.
Yo.
My boy, Huggy Bear, dude.
Yeah.
Just that old line wasn't blocking nobody.
Wasn't blocking nobody.
Well, and you know what, dude,
they're a fucking great defensive line.
There's a good defensive line.
DeNiko, I think, is one of the most
underrated defensive players in the league.
Like when we played the Colts and Danico was there, it was a dude that you go,
okay, we got to watch it.
This dude fucks cats up.
Right.
On the inside on Pass Pro, like, we got to watch out for him.
Like, he tears dudes up, got him for a steal.
Oh, yeah, he's a monster, dude.
And hit him with Jeff and Harold and Bud.
Yeah.
Bud, it was in the same situation as me.
He's coming off in ACL, like, everyone knows, like, the second year is like the year, unless you're Adrian Peterson.
I expect Bud Dupree to be a stud next year.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
And, like, you don't, like, that's the number.
I just fucking did it.
I just fucking did the thing that Vrable says not to do
is like expectations or predictions and stuff like that.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I'm careful?
You can't just put the bus in that on.
Yeah, I can't just do that.
Now I'm officially on the OTA's fucking film.
Say this real quick.
And then I'll say it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fucking Will said it.
I didn't see nothing.
But, I mean, Bud's a studd, dude.
When he was at the Steelers, he was super productive,
he's got a great attitude.
He's a great team guy and he plays super fucking hard.
And, like, he's going to be better than he was.
and I just think
I just think that the old line
I think they had confidence
because Joey
the way he throws it
but like
those who's not to block those four dudes
Those who were fucking eating
They were fucking eating
Eating
I just say man I can't believe it
Like nine sacks to one
You say I know you say that out loud
And it's like and they the boy's still fucking
We lost
I know
And you know
And playing the armchair quarterback
And I know
I'm sure it's the right called
99% of the time, but it's not kicking the extra point?
No, I mean, the, everything, statistics say you go for it.
Like, you're on the half yard line, the king's back, like, why not?
Right, I mean, that makes...
Clares Day, and I don't want to put you in a weird position to speak on that stuff.
No, I just did.
I don't disagree.
I don't disagree with all.
Like, how many times there's a reason...
Has coached the year been decided yet?
I know Fox gave their coach the year, which was Vrabble.
NFL hasn't done it yet.
yet.
Well, there's a reason why Vrabel's, like, a top head coach of the year candidate.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, the guy's football IQ, we've talked about in the podcast before.
His football IQ is stupid.
Like, he knows every situation and he makes sure that we know every situation.
And when he made that call, it's like, we obviously sit there and go, fuck yeah.
We're going, okay, we're going to go by two here instead of one.
Yeah.
Like, Grant Scheming things doesn't make a huge difference.
I mean, I guess it would have because it was, you know.
Because you guys would have been running the ball and not.
Yeah, but it's like the butterfly.
affect you because we're up by one
do they have to throw it earlier and maybe catch
Jamar Chase on a deep ball you know what I'm saying
or maybe this happens like you can't
just because this play happened at the beginning of the game
like if we would have got
X Y or Z like later in the game
they could have changed up their play calls
based on where they were at if they're down
right you know I'm saying
no I feel you somebody was like
why didn't we do this I'm like
man I don't know I was like
I was like I know I was like I was like
I don't know I was frustrated
I'm frustrated too because I'm thinking, man, why don't we just kick the fucking extra point and just be in the lead?
Like, just be up.
And I was like, man, I don't know.
I was like, but I know fucking Vraben Stresh has every situation dialed in that you could possibly imagine.
So I'm like, I'm sure there's like a perfect reason for that happening and it just didn't work out.
But I was frustrated just like everybody else.
But again, I'm like, these dudes are literally on top of any situation.
They're on top of situations that haven't even came up yet in the league.
Even rulebook-wise that I'm sure that, you know, will come up on.
day. But yeah.
It just sucks, dude.
You never see it coming.
The picks are, dude,
here's what I have to say about anybody who's like questioning Tanna Hill is years past,
even this year, him fucking having the confidence to throw it into situations and it's
worked out before and you guys all fucking said he was the greatest.
Like, just because it didn't work out doesn't mean he's any different, dude.
He's a fucking stud.
And with the boys ride or die with Tanny.
he is literally revived the Tennessee Titans
along with the new defense
you know
he's a fucking you know
he's a fucking awesome dude too
I just hated it for him when that
how all that went down and I just know
he probably puts a lot of that
like every competitor does
you just put a lot of like blame on yourself
and he knows that it's everybody knows
that it's not one single player
or one single game or one single play
but you just know dudes like
they wake up and think about that shit
like, damn, if I would have done this, I would have done that.
Like, if I would have made this tackle
or if I would have made this play during the game,
like it would have went a different direction.
But, so I just hate that for the boy.
That sucks.
It's crazy.
It's just over.
I know.
I'm like staring out in the fucking,
I'm just staring at the blue light.
I was just sitting a second ago.
Like, someone was about to change.
Like, they were going to, I mean, he had called,
but, like, just kidding.
We won.
What was the vibe like in the, in the locker room day?
Obviously.
You know how that is, dude.
dude, you know how it is.
He just is over.
Ray walks in, he's like, you don't prepare a speech for this.
Like, he loves the boys.
He's, he rides with us.
Like, the culture is not the issue.
Like, if you have a cultural problem in a team,
you're in bad shape, boss.
But we don't have that issue.
We got good dudes who work hard and want to win.
Like, want to succeed.
So it's just a bummer, man.
He's a bummer.
Dude.
Like,
Mike
Yeah
It's fucking tough
It's tough to come on here
Like I woke up this morning
Lokey excited to do a podcast
With the boys I just love being around the boys again
Like you feel like
I was the dad that went out for a carton of cigarettes
And some milk
And now I'm like all of a sudden
Back in your guys's lives
But you know what I'm saying
But like
I fucking miss the boys
I miss doing this
But I feel like it's too soon
You know
Like it was supposed to be
It hasn't been 48 hours
Yeah for real
Yeah.
It's about to be for you.
Should we hit an ad?
Yeah, go ahead, ball.
All right, what we got, Alex?
Sport clips.
Hey, shout out to boys at Sport Clips.
No free shoutouts.
I don't take my broken phone screen to a mechanic
for the same reason I don't trust my hair
in the hands of my grandma's stylist.
No question.
I want someone who specializes
and me and the experts at Sport Clips
are trained specifically for guys's hair.
Long, curly, short, thinning, thick,
chubby face, skinny, skinny,
whatever your look is, they know how to cut and shape your hair to fit you the best.
Women's hair is harder to cut than women's hair.
Wait, what I said?
Men's hair is harder to cut than women's hair.
I bet you didn't know that.
Jaw structure, hair line, everything else.
They know how to cut to your best assets.
Afterwards, you may even get a pinch on the cheek from Grandma.
Sport Clips, the pro in men's hair.
Go look one up locally.
The cheek pinch was a weird place.
You know, I'm not the ghost writer.
I'll tell you what, Sportcliffe's Rips, though.
Yeah.
What a value.
That's a great value.
Vraib goes there.
Blas said it pods months ago.
He saw Vraib in there, getting the hot towel look, getting the face massage.
The fresh shoes are cut, the five on the sides and a fucking, that straight wick-up thing, that little fucking ramp.
Yeah.
He's got the fucking half pipe on the top of the sport.
How does he seem to keep a tan all year round?
He's got a tanning bed, bro.
Yeah.
They're coaching the Pro Bowl this year.
I saw that.
Yeah.
to bust out to Vegas
The Titans
Yeah they're coaching the Pro Bowl
You gotta get a hold of Deion
Say Dion, if you watch this
Don't go to the Pro Bowl
So your boy can go
I'm an alternate
Oh, you right outside of it
Yeah, I'm right outside of it
Let's fucking go
Let's go
Just sneak in a little Pro Bowl
Come on, Dion
I'll give you the money
Hey
Just need that accolade cuss
is uh kb he was the only one wasn't he yeah which is weird as fuck dude i was an alternate
harold was an alternate and denico was an alternate i can't believe jeff did not make it out right
wild that is wild fucking wild just such a stud dude
um good dude good fucking dude dude season dude a lot of fucking media people i feel like some of the media
people's favorite question is to ask you about your future with the tennessee titans yeah
I want to ask, why do you think that they, why do you think that's a valid question from them?
Like, Wayne, what is your fucking future of the Tennessee Titans?
So people don't think we evade any type of topic or conversation on the bus.
I think, I think it's a valid conversation because of the year I had.
Like, it's not hard to, like, it was an up and down year.
Like, my, like, if you look past, from a past pro standpoint, I won't do the positives.
From a run game standpoint, like, I didn't have as much power in my legs.
I just wasn't as strong
and my explosion wasn't the same
so my run game performance was down
that's just the reality situation
I missed four games, got knocked out one
you gotta assume
based on my production the last few
before the ACL
that I'm gonna go into this offseason
do what I do every single year and train
this is my first year I've been able to train in two years
like 2020 everything was shut down
you can't pay somebody to train you
and then
sorry, 2019, was that to,
so 2020, going into 2020 season, sorry, I was,
you can pay it to get trained and then 20,
and then I tore my ACL.
So I spent this whole year trying to rehab an ACL to get my ACL able to play.
And what lacked was power, what lacked was strength,
what locked was a lot, and I noticed a lot was conditioning.
I usually did, I'm running around the field and I'm ripping.
And I'm finding myself breathing heavy after a couple of plays.
like it just wasn't
I wasn't myself
and for me to sit here
if I were to be like
hey guys
now I played greatly
I really didn't
like I was up and down
I think over the grand scheme
of things of 32 teams
like did I play an above average year
I guess
like yeah I play an above average year
but by no means is like
what I'm capable of at all
but it's a valid question
and it's a question
that I found myself
like had a couple times
with myself like damn
like is there a chance
like it cut this year
Like, is that a real thing?
And, dude, if I did, that would just suck so bad.
Because I just feel like there would be,
there would be like, I would just feel like I wouldn't have a chance to prove myself.
You just feel like you have a lot in the basement that you know.
I just know, I just know, like, there's better times ahead.
Right.
Like, I'm going to be myself.
Like, Trent Williams is 32 years old.
He's playing his best ball, 49er.
He's a fucking monster.
He's the best tackle in the league, no question.
But he's 32 years old.
He's playing better than he was in year eight.
and he's in year 10 now.
Yeah.
Or 11, whatever it is.
Like, tackles range differently.
Coming off an ACL, like, it's not going to be the same.
Right.
You know?
Now, if you want to talk about, like, past pro production,
like, after week one, I give up two sacks in week one.
I know Chandler Jones had five, and everyone likes to put that.
Like, I had two sacks in week one.
Now, it goes way more than the two sacks.
I also was getting bold.
I gave up pressures.
I gave up hits.
Like, it was, I got donkeyed out there.
You're, yeah, your second half of the.
year looked a lot different for your first. And obviously, you made a lot of progress.
Yeah. I think people hang on to that first quarter of season. And obviously, again, even in the
first half of your year, the availability that you had too, I think kind of plays into the mindset.
Because you see, you see week one happen. You see the availability thing kind of happen.
And you can just kind of create this story in your head. You see like a dead cap of a low number
next year. And people are like, oh, we need to get rid of him and stuff like that. But I do think,
and I would like you to speak on kind of the progress of the peaks and valleys of the first half of the year,
and kind of coming into your own a lot more in the second half of the year.
Because I think that's where a lot of the mindset is.
You get stuck on that first part and see, you know, the injury stuff that was happening.
But in the back half, bro, I thought the way, and I know it was hard, like,
and we had a lot of, like, good conversations too.
And that shit is just fucking tough to kind of battle through.
It's mental warfare with yourself.
Yeah.
And then you guys start winning and stringing these games together, and you're coming into
your own a little bit more.
But I just think it's a, you know, I was proud of you.
I was hyped for you playing a lot better in that back.
half because I know you were battling a lot
in that first part of the year. Yeah. And I think
like to finish the thought I was having is like
after a week one, I gave him one sack the rest of the year.
Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like that
from a past pro-production standpoint, that's there. And that's what like
traditional that you're there to be as a left tackle. Like
I, in you, there's another whole facet of the game as the run blocking, which
will get fixed with strength and having an off-season do those types of things.
So I'm not worried about myself from a playing standpoint. And I know that
there's the media needs to do this for a whole lot of reasons.
One, it's a valid question.
Like, could the Titans get rid of me?
Yes, they could.
And then they...
Just like everybody.
Just like everybody.
Nobody's fucking safe.
Anybody who doesn't have guaranteed money, he could get cut.
Right.
That's it.
Like, you're right, the beginning part of the season, it was just like, holy shit.
Like, where's a turbulent-ass flight?
Right.
Like, after week one, I was struggling mentally big time.
Like, my confidence was shot.
I was like, I'm done.
Like, I'll never be the same person again.
This is over for me.
Like I'm
And I've always said
Like I'm not gonna go out
Like some Nancy boy fuck
Like I'm gonna I'm gonna go out
On my own terms
I'm not gonna be some dude
That just keeps riding the wave
And people be like yeah
Remember Luwan?
Yeah he's just old now
I barely can move
Like your boy can still move
You know what I'm saying
And like once I started
What's how?
I'm not gonna be this dude
That just rides the wave
And fucking I was like
Oh no
I slowly start to just look
Toward the back of the bus
No I fear
You keep going to me
But like I'm not
Like I'm just not gonna do that
Like when I start seeing my
when I start seeing my potential like dwindle,
I'm fucking out of here.
Like I'm not going to be remembered
as this dude that's just like crippling, walking around.
Trying to keep the dream alive.
Trying to keep the dream alive.
Like that's just not who I am.
Like I came in this league,
a dominant player.
I'm going to leave a dominant player.
You know, I just,
this year just wasn't a dominant year.
And like that happens.
You know,
everybody has off years and stuff like that.
And I have some sort of insurance,
somewhat of insurance policy with coming back from a knee.
There's lots of guys
that had knees that also had a really hard time coming back.
One of the guy whose friend is Bakhtiari.
He said he's had like a really, really hard time.
It seems like you don't, I mean, I'm not going to speak for him.
It just seems like he, because he didn't play the whole year,
which I think was smart.
Like I think like if I could go back and we kind of have that conversation
in the gentleman's what would you change?
Well, nothing.
No, I'd change it.
If I went back, I would have handled myself way differently.
I wouldn't have put these extremely high expectations on myself.
I would have kind of
I would have understood where I was
and I probably wouldn't have played that first game
I probably wouldn't have played as much as I did in camp
which wasn't really that much
I would have kept getting my leg stronger
and maybe came back week three
week four week five
and I don't think we're having this conversation right now
I don't think it's a conversation in the media
Yeah I think definitely like
looking at the load you had
going through preseason and everything else
because even you were like
oh I might not play the fourth preseason game
and was it?
Oh yeah yeah the last preseason game
because I remember thinking of my head
like I you know it seems like it
be good to just be out there and move around and block some of these dudes just to like get ready
for somebody like a Chandler Jones in week one and stuff like that but there's definitely a
when you look back and think about how you can do things differently there's definitely stuff that
you can think about that you would have switched up loaded differently like okay I am feeling this way
let's put a little more on it hey let's take a little more back yeah listening to your body and
and stuff like that yeah and so I just you know I think that I ended the year on a good note like
I mean, you, yeah, you choked out Hendrickson.
He's a homie, too.
I was going to say, Henderson is my boy.
When I was at the Saints for just a cup of coffee,
I sat with him a lot because his...
He was like an accountant.
Yeah, his coaching college was a, like a giant fucking accountant.
His coach in college was Carl Polini.
So we're sitting back there having a lot of funny Carl Polini stories.
Carl is Bo's brother, who's a fucking lunatic.
But shout out the boy Hendrickson.
I was just saying that to jab him.
chirping the whole game too. He started talking shit from
Snap 1. I was like,
dog, I saw you guys. We're living.
We're living in this is my world. Yeah.
I was like, hey, the boys are chirping each other.
I was like, man, I wish I could be in Taylor's ear.
Like, hey, call him a bitch. Call him a bitch.
Sam Hubbard. Yeah, point at his head.
Sam Hubbard, 94. He's got
the elbow brace and my bro, you love JJ White.
White guy just fucking grinding it.
He's like, no, I dislocated my elbow. I was like, bro, you're a
super fan. He was getting hurt.
It's all good. You're superfan.
They're like, why don't you just go to your podcast, you pussy?
And, like, halfway through the game, they were saying something.
drastically changed. In the beginning of the game, a lot of shit talking going on.
And then as the game progressed, he was now trying to be nice to me.
Yeah. We already started here. We're going to finish here.
Keep the same energy. Yeah, keep that same energy boss.
Like, hey, let's not be front runners right now. You know what I'm saying?
So I thought they came out to me and I was like, you boys really want to come with a podcast, don't you?
Like, it was like a timeout or something like that.
It was always after Armani Hooker got that pick, that interception.
And kind of like both offenses and both demons were like kind of hovering around the field, like waiting to see what they call.
and, uh,
Tray, I was like,
Sam Hubbard, like,
walked up to me.
By the way,
guy walks with his arms out like this.
And I told that,
dude, your last aren't that fucking bake.
Put your hands down by your waist.
Like,
you need to relax.
Yeah,
I told that during the game.
He walked by,
he, like, gave me a look at my bro.
Put your fucking hands by your waist.
Like, what are you holding up right now?
He's like,
he just goes,
I was a weird chirp
and kind of, like, walked away.
I got just,
like, walked away from me.
And then I saw,
they were, like,
kind of coming over.
And they're,
now they're being buddy buddy.
Yeah.
And I'm like, boss,
way, it's the third quarter.
We still got 20 minutes.
Yeah.
And fucking, that was like,
come on.
That was like, you boys trying to come on.
And Sam Hubbard hits me with you.
I'm not going to lie.
I couldn't do.
And your boy,
Hendrickson's like,
yeah,
I mean,
only reason why I'd come on is because of Will.
Like,
Will's my boy.
And I was like,
whatever you got to tell yourself,
Bob.
He's trying to keep that.
Yeah,
yeah, wait.
Hey, you keep that same energy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, dude.
But I liked playing against him.
He plays super hard.
He's a good pass rusher.
And it was like an actual challenge.
He's strong as fuck.
Strong as fuck.
Like strong as fuck.
He was a stud.
So, you know,
yeah, I just won the battle.
But, like, we're going to see each other again.
You know what I'm saying?
We're going to see each other again.
And let's hope we both have the same energy.
Yeah.
You know?
We play them next year.
I think we play the whole AFC North.
I thought you played the...
We play the NFC East.
You play the Raiders next year.
I know that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But do you not play the whole AFC West?
I don't think so.
You guys know, Gary Jack?
At the Eagles or here?
Dude, that's awesome.
You're gonna fucking love that, dude.
What bad?
I've been there.
Oh, yeah.
I've been every stadium.
Oh, yeah, because you said how many years you got to be in the league?
And you played it every...
You've seen on one team for eight years you play every stadium.
That stadium's so fired, dude.
They just fucking hate you.
Dude, they hate you.
And they'll flip on their own.
team in a second. I ain't nobody's safe in there.
You know what I'm saying? At one point, we're all just huddling up
together. Like, we got to take these dudes out.
Dude, it was a fucking wild
deal. We should probably
touch or anything we still have
of that last comment because I know it's a big question that people
have, so I want to make sure we touch everything
so no one thinks we did anything. Call to action. What we're talking about
here? Bird dogs.
Oh, first bird dogs read. I'm stuck to
get their gear. You know, MJ?
You like it? You a bird dog fan?
You a fire bird... I'm sorry.
You a bird dog fan? It might be
the deal of the week also? We might be able to hook it up.
Might be able to. I think anybody
could because that's why we're doing the thing, right?
Bird Dogs, this is one of the best
podcast promos we've ever had.
They wrote it, and we're going to
mean it. We wrote it. We wrote that?
Yeah, I think we wrote that, right?
Did we write that? Yeah. I don't write
shit, right? We show up, and I try to
read it a fourth three level. You wrote that. You wrote that
this is one of the best podcast promos.
I'm with that C-T-E, boss.
All right, go to birddogs.com, enter promo code
B-U-S-S-I-N. That's B-U-S-S-S-I-N.
and they'll throw you in a free bird dog's whistle, whistle football?
One of those whistling footballs.
When you throw it?
Yeah.
Beautiful, dude.
If everyone looks, he whistles in the back.
You remember those nerve vortex howler footballs that whistle when you throw them, question mark?
It's that.
Those are fire, though.
Dude, you could rip those things?
120 yards, no problem.
Oh, my God.
Imagine Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen throwing one of those things.
Ripping one of those things, side-on-on-old.
have its own gravitational force.
It would leave, dude.
It would just start orbiting with the satellites.
And if you got the light up one in the dark,
hey bird dogs.
Play catch in the dark.
Yeah, bro.
That's a good way to hurt yourself.
That's birddogs.com promo code Bustin, B-U-S-S-I-N.
And boom!
A free bird dogs football with your pair of bird dogs.
You will not take these things off.
I promise you.
Listen, bird dogs, let me tell you something real quick.
Don't underestimate my reading level.
Like, I know I read at a fourth grade level,
but we really love your shit.
We really do, dude.
Can we curse on this thing?
I think we can curse a little bit.
Specifically,
we can curse.
Do we love your shit?
Specifically, the joggers and the pants.
I think that's what I'm most looking forward to to wear
because I hear their company's fault.
Not just from JP.
You give them the staple of approval
honestly means a lot more
just reading an ad read.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Anybody who doesn't know JP's got very sensitive skin,
he'll break out in a rash with any kind of fabric.
So with bird dogs, putting those jogger pants on anything like that, you just know his skin says, thank you.
And your skin will say the same thing to you.
Use promo code bussen, get them things.
It's a beautiful thing.
It feels delicious.
And your balls will thank you.
I think they will.
They have built-in underwear.
Do they really?
Yes, with the pants and joggers.
Not even a huge underwear guy.
You don't even have to be, you can go commando now and just throw the bird dogs on.
It's not commando, but it's not commando.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love, huh?
Yeah.
Just looking out.
Yeah, you're fucking right.
Bird dogs.
Sacked back here, boys.
Well, if you would have had the bird dogs on.
I just like, I did the lean back in my chair,
and my sack went under my butt.
Fucking drugged those things down, dude.
They're sad right now, dude.
It gets caught between your thighs.
God.
You're trying to, like, cross your legs for a saying.
Because when you have a kid, dude, I don't know why.
Because when you're playing with them,
they'll start, like, crawling on you and stuff,
and I don't know what their feet have targets on your nuts.
They just absolutely, you're getting punched out on the daily.
I feel like Johnny Knoxville out here, dude,
taking shots in the nuts.
It's brutal.
Shout up my kids.
Hey, the pregnancy is going well, by the way.
I know we didn't answer that last week,
and everybody has asked like,
hey, how's the wife and the baby doing?
The pregnancy is going very smooth.
Yeah, love that.
Shout out to Girl Charo.
To finish up on that last thing is,
it's a valid question.
And I think you should ask all the questions, right?
You should question everything.
Yeah.
What are we finishing up on?
On the me getting cut thing.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the worst one was probably
when I got cut by the Titans last year.
Yeah, you were down bad,
about that.
I was pretty boned about that one.
Yeah.
That one kind of came out of nowhere.
Not that these didn't come out of nowhere.
It was just like a different,
it's just a different situation.
Mm-hmm.
But.
Do we do the questions thing?
Or is that you just put that up there?
Questions thing.
You say we're going to do questions from the audience?
Not the audience.
Do we have any questions?
The audience.
The audience.
The audience of listening to us.
You guys are welcome.
Oh, bro.
All these games were like legit.
Hey, we got to.
We got to offer an apology.
to Blas?
Why?
Because we went hard on the Niners
in the first half of the year.
Remember they started off.
What did you guys start off?
What was your record?
Just a simple answer.
It's just two and five.
Two and five?
They started off two and five
and we was like Bloss, man.
We thought the,
what were we saying?
Thank God we have the AFC South on our schedule.
No, I mean,
I mean, you guys beat them, so.
Every team in the playoff we beat.
But the NFC, what is that?
The NFC West?
The NFC West.
Electric.
I mean, they are the dominant division.
They really are super-divided
half of the year.
It was like,
damn, what happened to the 49ers?
And now they've kind of ripped
and roared back,
kind of like you guys in 19,
similar to like the Giants
back when they beat the Patriots
on that undefeated season two.
Bro, if you're the Packers,
you got to be sick.
Sick, bro.
You guys didn't score.
You guys all say plus.
You guys didn't score it off as a touchdown.
No, we didn't.
It was all special teams.
Wow.
Wild.
Wild, dude.
You got to be sick.
You know that is sick.
bro. When we lost
Loki, I was praying for the Packers
to lose to. Just because they were
a one seed? No, because then I didn't want Dennis
to get that ring.
Yeah.
Oh, hey, Bigger and Rogers
fan. Big Aaron Rogers fan.
Yeah. Yeah. I can't
believe just
his whole year.
Obviously, he was, he's been on
Pat McAfeele's a show a lot. He's like, kind of like
been out there in front of the public out in front.
Yeah. And he had an, did he
get the MVP?
Not yet.
Did he get it for Fox or whatever?
He's just a frontrunner, right?
All right, well, I'm dumb.
Having an MVP season, and it's just the hype that the Packers have year in and year
out, and he's only had that one Super Bowl.
And what, they scored 10 points in that game?
Just sick.
The weather was crazy, though.
Yeah, but that's Lambeau Field.
You're supposed to fear going to Lambo field.
Your California boys going out to Lambo.
True.
They've had their week.
It's cold.
that's got all this stuff.
I mean, you don't have it.
When we went out to Lambo last year in the snow,
we got whooped.
And it's just...
I would the kicker kicking over their tunnel
as they're running out during pregame.
What kind of alpha-moot shit was that, dude?
That was some alpha shit.
Did you see that?
Speaking of kicker alpha,
should you see with the Bengals?
Joe Burrow telling that story?
Yeah.
Saying we're about to go the AFC championship?
Yeah, well.
Hey, swag.
Yeah, that's swag.
Did you see that video of gold kicking before the game?
They're all out, doing their hands.
introductions and he's like moving it up
and just kicking field goals right next to him.
He should have flat one, just flat one
right in the back of somebody's helmet.
And then go like, yes, sorry.
Yeah, yeah, my bad.
Whoops.
Pointed the snow.
But, uh, yeah, dude.
Tom Brady almost came back against the Rams.
Yeah.
Holy shit, dude.
And they asked him if he's gonna retire.
Like, he ain't fucking retiring.
You never know.
Not like that.
Never know.
Not like that at all.
Bro, what are you talking about?
We'll have them all bust with the boys
and we'll ask him those questions.
I like to have him and A-B-on at the same time.
A-B's chirps.
Yeah.
We're definitely, after Will's antics, we're definitely not getting A-B-on.
I don't know.
I just promoted his song on Instagram.
You just played.
Dude, you are both sides of the fence guy.
I just, that's what J.P. makes.
And J.P. is, you know, obviously you know where he stands on the side of the fence.
Yeah.
And that's what he gave me.
So I'm like, all right, let's ride him.
Was it Super Gremlin?
No, I'm talking about.
Isn't he like, aren't you Team Super Gremlin?
All day.
What about him is like all you?
Hit the mic.
He loves how serious and mad people get
and he just likes to play the other side.
Yeah, look, Will gets like anytime
if you just breathe A.B.'s name,
Will.
No, man, I just don't get it.
How could you do that?
And it kills me.
And I met him last year.
Shared a little time with him.
Made him a video, right?
It was like a meeting greet?
Made of a, nah, made him.
What'd you say?
What did you say?
It was a meeting greet.
Kumbaya.
Yeah, we come by us.
Hey, you bought tickets to a mean green?
Yeah.
Hey, he won a radio show thing.
You know I met him.
There was a deal on those tickets, too.
No, I met him.
I filmed like a workout video for him in this Instagram influencer.
Yeah.
He facetimed Tom Brady.
Introduced us Tom Brady.
So I'm a bit of a fan ever since.
Yeah, if he, like, that's kind of have a goes when you meet dudes like that.
And they're like nice to you, like he'll die for him.
Yeah.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
I respect it.
A.B.'s done a lot for me.
Will?
The question.
Up and down, right?
Exactly.
He's giving me content, so I guess that benefits.
It's like beneficial.
He's done some stuff for me.
I've done some stuff for you.
What have you done for me?
Just kidding, just kidding.
Yeah.
Hey, he said that, Just kidding.
So plain, too.
Like, he really didn't mean it.
Yeah, he didn't mean it.
Just kidding.
That's tough, dude.
Yeah, but A.V.
Tripped the shit out of those dudes.
And I really think, I mean, all four games,
four games were unbelievable.
They were unreal.
all games decided in the last four seconds
Best round of football probably of all time, right?
Has to be.
How do you beat that?
And the fucking Bill's Chiefs game, dude?
You got to talk about the OT.
Yeah, I was going to ask that.
What do you?
Oh, overtime.
Do you think there's a chance that ever gets changed
or is it going to stay sudden death?
No, because, I mean, maybe between those two teams,
but when we went against the Jets,
the Jets won their coin toss,
and they went down to the goal line
and didn't, oh, they kicked three.
Like, we had a chance to go down also, like,
I could see, I mean, anything can change.
The NFL just changed it anyway.
I was going to say it used to be
first time, first team to score, it's over.
Even field goes included.
You still got to play defense.
Yeah, I mean.
People say defense was championships.
If you're the league, don't you want that shootout scenario?
Like, don't you want to see them?
Oh, 100%.
I want them to reset that clock for OT number two.
As a player, and you definitely don't want that.
That's a lot of trade on the tires
getting taken off for one game.
But what if you go to college style
where you just put it in the 25
and go back and forth?
I like the college style, bro.
You like it?
Yes, I love it.
It's like the last cup and beer pong.
Yeah.
You got a rebuttal, dude.
Yep.
And then you're in a lot.
You're in a shootout.
Yeah, that's cool.
I think it's the best format of O.T.
You can even move it back.
25 yard line.
You just put it on the 35 if you want for NFL.
But you just put that thing on the 35 and just let teams go at it.
They're kicking 60-yard field goes.
Now put it on the 50.
Like whatever.
But it's at least got to,
you got to go back and forth.
Yeah.
Put the ball down on the logo.
Yeah.
I kind of like that.
I do too, man.
I kind of like that, dude.
Ball in the logo.
Yeah.
And fucking play ball.
And then if he score,
you have a chance to rebuttal?
Yeah.
You got a match or beat it.
And then you just go back and forth.
So.
But if it's on the 50,
then does punning even come in a,
play because when you're backed up that much, you're basically going to use all four downs of
score.
You're kicking a fourth down.
Oh, yeah.
That's electric.
Yeah.
Four downs of fucking score.
You send your punter home early telling we got it from here and we're going to score.
Go shower up, kid.
That's it.
Every quarterback can throw from the 50 end of the end zone.
Right.
Well, if you're on fourth down, you're probably trying to make your way.
It's just four down territory.
You're trying to like get a first down to keep the series alive.
Yeah, it totally changes.
Because the time the clock is now out.
You take the clock out of it.
and you just set that thing on the logo
and just keep going back and forth,
make teams go for two if it gets to that.
First and goal from the 50.
I think that's all.
I think that you're getting into like backyard rules there
to where you just have four downs to score a touchdown.
We're leaving it up to a coin flip right now.
What's the difference?
It's really not leaving up to a coin flip, though,
because you still have to play defense.
Like you're playing, like,
not everyone just scores in the first drive of the game.
I know.
It's not that exciting, though.
Yeah, but you go to the 50s and just play regular ball.
No, no, no, no, it definitely was.
It was insane.
It was more exciting if we got to see Josh Allen come out and get the ball.
But you're talking about very specific quarterbacks doing right now.
For sure.
Yeah, you're talking about this one game.
I'm just overall, I think that's a great idea to just put the ball in the 50.
Take the punters out of it.
Clock's now gone.
And you just play it just like college.
And then eventually you've got to go for two if it continues to go that way.
Yeah.
But you've got four downs to get a first down and shit.
Then you decide if you want to kick a field goal.
So on this hypothetical situation, if you're on the 50 and you get sacked and you're on the opposite 45,
and you go all downs,
does the other team get at the 45 or they have to now start the 50?
I think they just restart it and put it on the 50.
I like that too.
I was saying it's first and goal from the 50.
The first and goal means you have four downs period.
You have four downs and 50 yards?
Yeah, 10 yards convert.
Yeah, conversion.
I like actual situational football.
No punting allowed.
No punting.
I mean, you're not going to punt.
If you punt, you're just turning it.
Once you turn it over, it just restarts on the 50.
Yeah.
You don't even have to have that rule in.
What have you been pun it through the uprights for one?
that's too many bells and whistles
I think
I think us talking
us talking right now about that
I think that's awesome and hilarious
but I think that's
for an actual rule
I stand on what we just came
about 14 points
and overtime
you know what I'm saying
so the score's now crazy
yeah we have like you know
21 points per touchdown
yeah you know what I'm saying
scores like 150
yeah
just bringing rocket league cars
and then everybody's fucking
driving around
it becomes a big dome
and guys are just fucking
The esports team has to come in
Yeah
We actually both teams have 12 year olds
Who are just fucking Rocket League players
They bring out this big screen
And they got to put
Seven on seven
No did you let the boys play
Yeah you gotta let the trenches work
You're going to problem
Now it's a problem
Yeah now that you went too far
I mean the bills and chiefs were basically
Playing seven on seven for the last couple minutes last night
That was insane bro
Bro they scored
And it was like what
18 seconds left or 13 seconds left
13 seconds left
13 13
You squib kicked that.
It's over.
Yeah.
I know.
That's what everybody was saying.
They were talking about it.
Which is true.
You should squib kick it, run some clock out.
13 seconds.
How much time did Tom have that one year when you guys were against him in the first round, that wild card round when you guys beat him?
And Logan Ryan picked it off and went to the end zone.
There was 26 or was there only like seven?
No, there was like 26.
Hey, loki, when we were in that situation, we were all like, it's not over.
It ain't over.
Tom got the ball of time left?
First time was like 20.
But 13 seconds, man.
You got to wonder about what their defensive calls were about.
It looked like, and listen, I'm not a coach,
but it looked like they were really protecting the out of bounds.
The sidelines.
The sidelines don't know I said it like that.
The sidelines have played a game 48 hours ago,
my noggin is hurting.
Yeah, they're protecting the sideline, and they had three timeouts.
So you can throw it over the middle every single time instead of their timeouts.
It's the same thing.
Yeah, you got to play ball.
And they were rushing like four.
I think they rushed five on that last one.
What does that say about Dak Prescott?
That's a tough situation like, oh, the 14 seconds that happened?
That was bad situation in football.
We said that.
When that happens, I mean, you guys get coached up in it every Friday.
You don't toss the ball of the rep.
You don't set the ball down and let the ref touch it.
You literally turn around and hand the ball of the rep
or give it to somebody who's going to hand it to.
And as a defense, you lay on the guy too.
I was more than just talking about what Patrick Mos Holmes was able to do with 13
and what the Cowboys couldn't do with 14,
and he drove the ball down further.
Yeah, I mean, the answer is like the Cowboys just played bad situation with football.
And the Niners play a different defense.
They were doing the same thing.
They were protecting the sidemline.
Was it wide open in the middle?
Yeah.
I don't know what?
How many timeouts do they have?
None.
They had zero.
They're in the fringe, too.
If you're at 14 seconds, you're an ozone situation.
You can't do a hurricane field goal where you rush everybody got on.
You need 18 seconds to do that.
So if you have no timeouts, you protect the middle of the field.
You lay on them.
It's over.
Who did they play the Niners?
The Niners should have laid on him.
But if they would have operated it,
the way that you guys are coached to and everything else,
you're able to hand the ball to the ref.
They would have probably had one second by the time he clocked it.
And the ref, first off,
there's got to be a rule with these revs.
They got to be in better shape.
These refs got to be better shape and probably younger too.
And I don't, like, this is not me like coming at refs.
This is literally me just saying like in high intensity.
The way the game is evolving.
The way the game is evolving, how fast everything is going,
how guys do you play more.
no huddle, like a turbo type of thing
where you're kind of just muddle huddling the whole time,
and the ref has to touch the ball.
Now, that dude ripped it from all the way back.
As soon as he saw Derek,
or not Derek, Dak,
running a QB draw,
he should have started coming up the field also.
And they probably would have got it off.
But the center's also got to look to the line judge
to make sure he knows where the line is
to back it up and put it down.
I love that.
You know what I'm saying?
Better shape.
Well, they got to be, yeah,
they got to be a better shape and they got, I mean.
Like there should be a test
There should be like a test
And another thing too
Like every quarter of the year
There should be
Whether it's a combo
Or just like a test
And make sure that they're in shape
And they can they can handle their job
Yeah because those guys have regular job
They have regular jobs too
They're good dudes
Like I know a lot of these reps
They're great dudes
But like
If you can't run down there
Yeah
They run down the field like that
And they go and touch the ball
It's tough
The NFL can consistently
It's like
The athlete evolves
Bigger faster stronger
Like we need the same evolution
With these referees
You know what I mean?
And also like
They need postgame conferences.
They need postgame pressers to answer some of these fucking questions, bro.
Yeah, that's a good.
Like the Bengals Raiders game.
Like, in their report they left out that I guess somebody asked them,
doesn't make much sense to me, but all right, like weird, but okay.
The report that we read and that's it?
Like they said the whistle blue after he caught it.
Like it was obviously not that.
Right.
That's obviously not the case of what happened.
You know, and like I said, does that change the game?
In some ways, yes.
But I could have shake that a whole bunch of different ways based on situational
ball. Like the Bengals still could have won that game.
Yeah.
Oh, blah.
Did you watch the fourth quarter of the Raiders Chargers game?
No.
Did you, any of you guys, watched the, all the way through that game?
Remember when the ref missed that face mask penalty on the sideline, literally right in front
of that referee?
The fact that you just can't look up at the screen and see that that his head is literally
turned sideways and that it was a bad call, the fact that you can't, like, on something
like a face mask, you can't just, like, hey, we fucked that one up, you throw a flag.
I think that also needs to happen.
But that guy didn't have to go to a podium and answer that question.
because, like, yo, you fucked that up.
And everyone was just murdering that, dude.
I know I already recapped this on the pod.
Another thing that needs to go away is this taunting penalty.
If it's like egregious, like over the top, like fucking one of those, not bad.
Hey, that was aggressive to do your face.
I was thinking the same thing, like a middle finger in somebody's face.
Yeah, middle finger, but you're like getting in their face.
waving or something.
I think if it's at the level where like teams are getting involved,
then obviously that's too far.
But like, like the guy that stood over Taney and got the thing like.
Eli Apple?
I'm probably
I'm probably saying something too
like that's just part of it but if it
stirs up like the team to get
physical then obviously that's too far
yeah if things get like
there's got to be a level of common sense with it
right you can tell when things have
progressed way too much
but if guys are getting chippy shoving back and forth
like let the boys play yeah
you know but that might go I think the rule
had the rule was in place
for good intent to keep the game
more clean to keep people doing it but like at the
same time you get i mean let the boys that might change with the the ref thing we were just talking about
that it's better for everybody too sorry garret go ahead my fault i was saying if the ref age changed like
that might their judgment on some of those things might be different too yeah because how can
how can tyrie kill run in going like this at the 10 yard line and not be called but the guy in the
for the bucks last year did it right in his face and he ended up getting a fine yeah but i see what you're
saying. I think it's better for everyone
involved that the boys can chirp.
Yeah. For the boys? Better for the atmosphere
and the environment. Better for people watching on TV.
I think that shit is fucking hype.
It's awesome. The boys getting lippy
a little bit. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, I think
but the rest are good dudes.
And it's crazy because if you watch
the Bengals Raiders' wild card game,
there's so many penalties.
A lot on the Raiders side and some on the Bengals side.
And it's like,
some of them were obvious holding calls. Some
were obvious DPIs, but the same, like, you got to, like, in the playoffs, it's like, let's let
the boys make the decisions on the game.
Right, you can't, the refs can't be deciding games.
Now, the refs we had for this game, they're unbelievable.
Like, one of the refs came to me for the game is like, hey, like, we're doing our best
and make sure that you, like, you guys are playing.
Was it his crew?
Yeah, it was cleat.
Nebraska boy shout out.
Yeah, and he, like, he always comes up to me.
We've, like, known each other for a long time.
He told me before the game, he's like, hey, we're not trying to get, like, we're
letting you guys play ball, you know, just like, don't, if, if,
something happens, you see something, they're doing something to you just come tell me,
and we'll keep an eye out for it.
But like, we want you guys to go play football.
You guys play for the most part.
Yeah.
And it's like to be able to know that, like, there's holding on every single play.
There's contact in every single wide receiver for the most part.
Like, that stuff happens.
There's rules that are put in place to protect, like from the quarterback standpoint.
But there's also weird rules, too.
Like, if the quarterback breaks the plane, like it breaks the tackle plane and is rolling out
and you go high on him, you're going to get a penalty.
But if you dive at his legs, you're not going to get a penalty unless it's overly late.
Like, you could hurt them just as bad.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
When you say when they get outside the tackle box?
You know, when they get outside the tackle box, yeah.
Yeah, the quarterback stuff is so fuzzy for me, dude.
It's like, and it's funny because you see the game evolving because I saw, you know,
you see Burrow one time trying, like, guys are trying to, like, fake these things happen,
which is part of the game.
You're trying to, like, figure out the rules and, like, you know, if I can get away
with this and help my team, I'm obviously going to do that.
Yeah.
But you see the game evolving with these rules that are getting put in place.
because these dudes are, like, flopping now.
Yeah.
Especially quarterback.
Yeah.
But, like, that's, dude, that's chess.
Like, that's what they're just trying to do.
Derek Carr did one.
Like, somebody, like, barely placed their handles in the Chargers game, I think.
And Derek, like, threw his head back.
We got the penalty.
He's like, thank fucking God because that was an incomplete pass.
Weird spot to put God in there.
But, yeah.
We get that for sure.
It's a tough spot to put God in.
It's a tough spot to put God.
But, yeah, man, I think these rules, like, there's so much gray area.
And it's funny kind of watching them,
watching everybody adapt with them.
Yeah.
Hey, let's hit a ride.
Go ahead, Ball.
This is probably,
this is definitely a top,
well, you know,
we don't want to play favorites,
but this is one of our more favorable brands
we like to rep.
Well, they've been riding
and dying with us for so long.
The whole time,
not the whole time,
but the majority of the time.
And we wouldn't shout them out
if we didn't believe
in what they were doing.
Exactly.
And that's why we were bringing
Georgia Boot to your ears right now,
the world's most comfortable boot.
Georgia Boot is America's hardest working boot.
And for over,
80, we're going to say 81 years
because we've been doing this,
I feel like we've been doing this
average for, you know, at least a year.
Yeah.
Georgia's been making boots that work as hard as you do.
Tough enough for your job, cool enough for everything else.
The boys like looking good.
And even when we're working, even when we're on the field,
I know Taylor Healy, who's coming in the stadium,
he's like, hey, you got a pair of Georgia boots.
The new ones haven't got here yet.
I'll get him to you next week.
Yeah.
But he's trying to wear them into the stadium
because they're that fucking comfortable
and they look that damn good.
That's the thing, too.
It's not just a comfortable boot.
They get people go, eh, it looks all right.
the guy looks kind of weird, but at least he's comfortable.
Like, you're comfortable and styles at the same time.
Right.
It doesn't matter what...
For every occasion.
And it doesn't matter what season you're in, winter, spring, summer, fall.
They hold up in any condition, and they have the comfort technology of an athletic shoe packed into a great-looking boot.
So whether you're working on your feet all day long, working around the house, grilling out with the boys,
these boots won't sacrifice comfort or style.
They offer the best work boots, wedges, loggers around.
Whether you need a waterproof boot, steel-toe, soft-to, square-toe, met guard, non-puncture shank, non-slip-sul,
They've got it all.
Head over to Georgia Boot.com.
Scroll their website.
It's a fantastic, well-put-put-together website.
Whoever did that, they did a great job.
And use code Bussin, B-U-S-S-I-N, for a generous 20% off from the boys to you for Georgia Boot.
Not to go back on something that we already talked about earlier, but, and maybe do two ads.
It's not really two ads in a row, but where can you get that hoodie?
I need to get me one of them.
The Barstill merch store.
You go to store.
barstillsports.com
and under brands, you click brands,
scroll down just a little bit, just a tad.
Just a tad because we're moving out.
Yeah, it's Bustin with the boys.
You hit on Bustin with the boys,
and I would argue that we
we probably have the best merch store in the Barsdil store.
Yeah, it's nothing against them too.
We just do it.
Yeah, like we're a little biased, but also like
I legitimately, I legitimately think
we got elite merch.
It's comfortable. They look good.
Yeah. That thing looks like
it's just special.
The comfort level, I'm telling you, the way, like,
And the way that they've been going on the shelves, too.
Barstall, I think, is going to be a little bit more generous working with us on getting the more top-tier quality shit this year.
Well, here's one thing that Barstall needs to keep their head on a swivel about.
We're in a contract year.
Ooh.
And we love...
Boys are going to a free agency.
We love sport analogies.
Dave love sport analogies.
That's how he kind of negotiates all of his stuff, too.
So, yeah, looking at that, being, you know, athletes like ourselves, we are in our contract year.
Stoked.
We've loved Barstool.
Loved it.
We've loved our time with Barstool.
We've given them a lot.
they've given us a lot.
I kind of keep talking too much about it.
Yeah.
But hey, there's been a lot.
We've helped them quite a bit.
I don't think they get to where they're at right now without us.
Yeah, right.
I also don't think we get to where we're at without them either.
Exactly.
It's been a give and take.
Unlike you and J.P.'s relationship, it's been like a lot of back and forth.
It's been a great partnership to be real, though.
I've really enjoyed working with Erica.
Dave's been awesome.
Like, everybody at HQ, they're about the boys.
We love them.
They love us.
I've had a lot of fun with the partnership so far.
Yeah, Barso Rips.
We got to get out to XG.
You know, dude.
We got to get out to HQ soon.
When you're ready, I'm ready.
I mean, I'm ready.
I'm fucking ready to go.
I know the boy can be a moving target at times.
I know.
Hey.
He said, I'm ready.
Whenever you ready.
Let's go, baby.
Predictions.
What are we thinking about next week?
Oh, so I think.
Take me through Niners Rams real quick.
We'll hit NFC and we'll go over the AFC.
Give me your if ands and wise.
So I think on paper, the Rams,
like the most talented football team in the league.
Yeah.
And they got Future Hall of Famers.
They got Pro Bowl.
They got all the bells and whistles, dude.
I do think they're coming into their own in the playoffs.
They're kind of hitting the stride a little bit.
They're looking like that explosive offense from early on.
Matt Stafford's playing with that chip on his shoulder.
Jalen Ramsey, he's probably my favorite player, football player to watch, period.
Dude's a side shout out the boy, come back on the bus.
But the Niners look fucking tough, man.
And I just like, I like their underdog mentality.
They're really embracing it, like coming out with the speakers.
the speaker interest they do, like walking down at the away games.
Hey, the boys you guys need to adapt that next year, yes.
And you can just tell they're playing with that back against the wall mentality.
Probably a lot like you guys, like the vibe you guys had in, what was that, 19?
Yeah.
Where you just know everyone's basically counting you out and you just don't give a fuck.
We're going to go into your trap, take over your trap.
That's the song that they were playing.
I think that I'm pulling for the Niners.
I'm pulling for the Niners.
That's all well and good
What you're pulling for?
Who do you think is going to win?
I think the Niners are going to win.
I think the Niners are going to win.
I get scared to kind of say my predictions now
because we've been finding a trend
that everybody at root for pretty much loses.
Hey, Blas is hot right now.
I know.
He got David, dude, God, damn it.
What about William the Niners?
Dude, I love, I'm a big,
you tweeted about him last night too,
but I am, I'm a huge fan of Kittle.
Love Kettle.
I love following that dude.
I just, I like what he's about.
His energy's all time.
It is.
He's positive vibes on.
Only.
And he's Viva.
He's about the boys, too.
Yeah, he really is.
And I'm also a huge, uh, Trent Williams fan.
Love Trent.
So, like, going, going off those two.
I'm, like, pulling for the Niners.
I just like, their swag they got going right now.
Yeah, Trent's the most dominant office lineman of football.
Yeah.
It's not even close.
You think he is, like, ever?
I don't know enough about offensive linemen.
Okay.
But dude, the first thing that comes to my mind is a buddy from the, the,
uh, the Cowboys back in the day.
Allen or something like that?
He was a guard.
He was massive.
Larry Allen?
Larry Allen?
he was a massive ass dude that can motor
and he just can dudes too
but when you see Trent off the ball
in that Y like that Y sift
bro
fucked dudes up
hey I ain't hit nobody like that
or different hey
my boy we're different body types
yeah but you got that
you got that ability you can move like that though
yeah I can move like that I don't got 50 extra pounds behind me to
matter you're bigger than Firks are swinging across the goddamn formation
first aren't swinging across no formation dude
Jeff Swam, any of those boys.
Yeah.
I'll do it.
Hey, I'll die for the team.
I'll die for the cost.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
But yeah, that man coming to cut you off.
Jesus Christ, though.
He's like a cheat code out there.
His backside cutoffs,
which I know people don't really care about.
Like, I'm just saying,
his backside cutoffs are so unorthodox
and we get so many, like,
if he was playing on our offense,
we'd get torched apart as far as how he does it,
but he does it so well.
It's unbelievable.
Knocks the dude's hands down when his hands are too aggressive.
When the dude beats him, he fucking gives him that nice little reach-around block.
He's a lot of little holding calls.
Yeah, because he's Trent.
Yeah, I know.
You know what I'm saying?
But that doesn't take away from his dominance.
I know.
He's the most dominant dude in the league.
He needs to come on the fucking bus too.
He's got a hell of a story with how everything went down.
Yeah, his documentary just came out too, right?
And buy that he's selling.
That's awesome.
I'm going to check that out for sure.
Yeah.
NFC championship, 49ers Rams.
I agree with everything you said about the Rams being
the most, probably the most talented roster in the NFL,
and they are coming to their own.
And I'm a huge Stafford fan.
I think him having the success he has had is,
is pretty all time.
Yeah, you're right.
I think we just talked about it.
Kiddle love Kittal. I think the 49ers
got a vibe that I fuck with.
You know what I'm saying? It's like a team you kind of want to be a part of
because it seems like everyone's super close and just really about that action.
You know?
Yeah.
I think the Rams have kind of taken on their, like,
mantra of like they're bigger than life Hollywood.
You know, like they kind of got that vibe.
Like they got the stars, they got everything.
I think the 49ers defensive line is dominant, but I also think the Rams
defensive line is dominant.
And it's kind of hard.
Like they got Nick Boas.
Y'all got Nick Bosa, who's a fucking stud.
And loki, all those dudes are really good.
Armstead's a stud.
I'm forgetting the dude's name who's number 56.
He's a stud dude.
He's quick. He's powerful. He can move.
But the Rams got Aaron Donald,
enough said, right?
They got Vaughn Miller, Nuff said.
But he's he erased him with Trent.
Vaughn versus Trent?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm saying Trent's going to win that.
I'm saying you don't got to worry about that side.
Yeah, Vaughn plays more on the right that it doesn't left tackle.
Oh, he does?
Yeah.
Like, Vaughn will go over.
All right.
For the most part, he's got RIP.
Wait, no, that's my boy Tom Compton, isn't it?
I think Tom Compton's on the right.
I can't go against my cousin.
54 for the Rams too. Floyd, he was,
I think he was a Georgia Bulldog.
First round pick,
Leonard Floyd.
Yeah.
Is that right?
I don't know.
That sounds like an old ram.
Hey,
not to sound like that got,
like,
is that right?
Oh yeah,
we're right.
All right.
He's a stud too,
dude.
Low-key, he's underrated.
Like,
he's a super long,
twitchy dude
that's slippery as hell.
And they had a backup over there.
I think he's number 45.
He's got a deadly spin move on the Rams.
Like,
they just got dudes
that can get pressure.
like that.
They got great coverage with your boy Ramsey.
He's the fucking.
They are great coverage.
So that they're going to get there.
I think the Rams beat the Niners.
And I'm not saying that for you, Blas.
I'm not saying,
it's hard to beat a team three times,
let alone six going on the seventh.
Oh, my.
Hey, dear God, Blas.
Like, there's the,
is it in L.A?
It's in L.A.
What's crazy?
It don't really matter where it's at, yeah.
But if the, the, the,
the, the, the, the, the,
essentially have two home games.
Like the NFC championship is that in L.A.
And the Super Bowl's in L.A.
Which would be the first time ever.
Yeah.
The 49ers have more fans in L.A.
Oh, no shit.
Niners have more fans in L.A. than the Rams.
They outnumbered them the last time they were in Levi Stadium.
Oh, shit.
Levi's of the South is what they call it.
I'll show you a picture.
L.A. Stadium is hype as fuck.
I know.
The stadium is dope.
That seems like as fuck, man.
The best stadium I've been to you was the Dallas
stadium and then that one definitely took it.
I haven't been to the Raiders one.
The Raiders one's fucking crazy.
The old Colseum was dope.
Yeah, it would be it was dope, but it wasn't, I mean, that shit is like a
fucking club now.
The entertainment factor that goes with is probably a lot of similarities like LA.
Yeah.
But it's just fucking cool to be there, man.
Yeah, I got the Rams on that, dude.
I think I got the Rams.
Honestly, Andrew Whitworth.
I want him to get one.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
He's 40.
Yeah.
He was with a band.
Bengals for 10 years when, like, they and Joe Burrow in the Bengals.
So Witts never won a, won a Super Bowl?
Bro, hasn't.
He just went to that one with a...
He went to it and lost.
Yeah, that would be cool if he got one.
Yeah.
I remember for McVeigh, too, and also Stafford, he hasn't.
Yeah, he's a dog.
He's been with the Lions all the time.
Especially having, like, that situation with the Lions.
I don't know that franchise.
I don't know any, like, it seems like they're on the up.
Low-key, even though their record wasn't what it was.
Their head coach, what's his name?
Dan Campbell.
Dude seems like an absolute homie.
Like, seems like a dude you want to play for.
Yes.
You know?
And the fact that they're like winning games in December or won a game in December.
You're going nuts in the locker room?
Nuts.
Like, dude, it ain't like that when you're losing games like that.
Right.
You win a game even in December like, whatever.
Don't matter.
Yeah, you're like, well, you know what I'm saying?
A couple more weeks to get home, man.
Hype about that shit.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, I mess with him.
But, I mean, obviously, Stafford didn't have him.
So I want whoever-
his situation was.
I want whoever wins the NFC to come to win the Super Bowl.
Like, those are the two teams.
Like, if I'm really,
rooting for teams, it's like, it's Niners and then Rams over like Bengals and Chiefs.
Really? Why?
I don't know. I'm just, you know, I think the Chiefs, I think the Chiefs will beat the Bengals.
It's like, you know, if the Bengals are able to keep up with that offensive firepower,
like you can go back and forth with the Chiefs, they'll obviously be in it because I don't
think the Chiefs have that great of a defense.
Or they've, there has been at times where they've showed that they're really good,
but for the most part, they've been like a bottom tier defense.
And I don't know
I mean the Bengals beat the Raiders and you guys
So it's like I just want those motherfuckers
To lose
I don't know why I want them to lose
Not like I guess I'm a hater
Right
Sound like a hater
And then the Chiefs I don't feel like I can root for the Chiefs
At all because Raiders
And that's like the biggest rival
Of doing it for the shirts man
We're trying to make shirts
It's just it's a business
It's business
Yeah
He had a great game
If I could talk to Pat right now
I would say he had a very good game
I respect what he does and what he's about.
He's been great on social media.
He's a great follow, you know.
Pat, who?
My homes.
We've, like, the last few pots we've been on here and, like, I'll just mention, you know,
because Pat did unfollow me.
I don't think he ever followed you.
Oh, he did.
Oh, he did.
Really?
Yeah.
We'll DM back and forth.
Show me the DMs.
Show me the receipts.

You don't have to say 0-0 when it's like...
I said 64-0-0,000, and then I saw the thing that said 64,000.
Right.
You said 64,000.
Then you can proceed.
I can't jump.
I can't joke because my reading level's not that high, dude.
Yeah.
My reading level's not that high.
Disclamer must read.
I read that part just fine.
Well, and I wasn't even supposed to fucking read that.
Can I cursing this?
Probably not, dude.
That's right.
You does right.
All right.

So I just read Will's receipts with Patrick from my home
Sounds like you pressed them a little too hard by coming on the bus
That's wild
That's wild that you just put me out there like that
Well, I just read the receipts, my dude
Yeah, you're like, hey, come on the bus
And he's like, yeah, let's get one done after the season
But that was in August, right?
Yeah, you didn't see anything said after that
So I left him on the last thing
Maybe that's what he's upset about
No, I think, you know, we've said what we thought it might be
What do you think it is?
Jackson, my home stuff
We talked about some of us stuff early in the year
Oh, you were hating on Jackson?
Not hating, like just talk, speaking about the facts
And what's the facts?
Nothing just how it's probably
difficult to deal with that game where
the mom, the wife, the Jackson
is going out and doing
all of his TikToks and they were in that bad
streak of losing. Doesn't sound like you said anything
that bad. Well, yeah.
And who knows how he filtered it, though? You know what I'm
saying? Yeah, it might have just been
that he probably hears that all the time.
Limiting distractions.
Yeah, and he just, I don't
think there would ever be a reason to unfollow you.
You're not a demonstrative person.
Well, he unfollowed me. I don't
trust me, I'm with you.
you. I thought I was like, hey, what are we doing? How can we fix this, man? How can we get that?
Just so I get, hey, how can we get that follows you back behind your name when I click on your profile?
That'll make you feel like you're worth it? Yeah, that's where the value will come in at.
Damn, do, doggy, I'm sorry. It's okay. You know, better days ahead. You know tough times don't last.
They don't ever last. Tough people do, though. So we did the NFC. We did the NFC.
AFC, Bengals, Chiefs. I've already kind of told you my spin on that game. I think the Chiefs win that game.
but I don't know.
I want whoever comes out of the NFC to win it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you have much?
I mean, you play both these teams.
You're an AFC guy.
Bengals beat you is one of those things you want them to win it since they beat you to make it seem like a better loss.
I mean, I think they're both good teams is the reason why they're an AFC championship.
But I think if I had to guess just sitting here as a fan, I would think the Chiefs are going to win.
They've been in the situation before several times.
They had the same StarCidic cast.
Mm-hmm.
You know.
All the Chiefs need is that one touchdown that Mahomes feels best about,
and he does that fucking flex and looks up at this guy and yells and shit,
and then goes and dives everybody else saying, let's fucking go.
That's like the face where it's like, oh, shit, it's on.
Yeah.
I think the Chiefs win that game.
I think both teams are good.
I don't know where we were out before.
I don't remember what we were doing.
The big news we got for everybody listening is we're going to have some the boys shirts dropping.
By the time you listen to this, we haven't figured them out yet
because we've got to look at who won in the voting,
but we're making the boy shirts for a couple of these teams.
I love that.
I can't wait.
Bengals?
Really?
I thought that was surprising.
Yeah, I know they're pissed.
Like, I get it.
I understand why they're pissed.
I won't wear the shirt.
Yeah, I'm not going to wear the shirt.
Just, hey, and then you cut me in like I've worn the shirt already.
We got a text from Barstool.
Hey, should we make T's for any of the teams coming up?
Like, find a couple teams, blah, blah.
And I was like, I'll take the Twitter and see what shirts to get made.
And I figured we get everybody chirping and having fun with it.
I'm hoping they're having fun with it.
Oh, them dudes are trying to live their lives on that thing.
They don't have fun.
They're dealing with real shit.
They're actually fucking doing it.
Because I tweeted like, do you think I enjoy making shirts and asking you guys for money?
Like, obviously it's a joke and people like, hey, who gives a fuck what they say, man?
Just keep doing you and this and that.
That's so funny.
I'm just thinking like, yeah, I know.
Like, you know, I'm just joking.
but I mean, we got to do what's best for the brand.
Yeah.
The brand is the boys are a national brand, and we're for all the boys.
I don't know how many times we have to explain that.
If you're for the boys and they're of different colors, then it's just, that's the division between us.
It doesn't mean we hate you.
Because bust with the boys represents everybody.
If you're for the fucking boys, it doesn't matter what colors you are.
You're part of the squad.
You're part of the crew.
We had Bengals fans in the A Glegate that were having fun, slugging beers.
I'm sure Jack was looking at him a certain way, but he understood the cause that they were there for.
and they were being there for the boys in black and orange.
So it can all coexist.
All can be right.
But the boys got a business to run.
You know what I'm saying?
You good, Jack?
That blood sugar all right?
Oh, hey, that was tough.
He was really sitting down sweating like I'm bored.
Jesse.
You can argue that.
When I saw the tweet,
even considering making shirts for the teams that we won,
just got to be by.
And another, that has beat us the year previous
in the biggest game that we had.
the last 10 years.
It made me very hot.
But from the business side, I get it.
It's like, you know.
Hey, for real.
I'm not at you.
I'm not at him.
I'm with Jack.
Right now.
And I know Twitter is with us, too.
It was your idea.
What are you?
I already said the phone call, I have it.
What are you fucking need?
I'm sweating.
It is hot on here today.
Doom.
Hey, I feel you.
I understand.
I understand.
I get what you guys are feeling.
I acknowledge those feelings.
I think they're valid.
It doesn't matter.
It don't matter.
At they're just trying to collect a check right now.
Look at him.
No, no.
We're trying to, you know, continue.
We should do.
We're trying to continue to grow in other,
in other demographics and other areas.
What we should do is make shirts for both the NFC championship and the
NFC championship.
What do you mean?
To commemorate the game?
Yeah.
Like both teams on the shirt.
Boat the game.
Bang.
Like, yeah.
Yeah, we can look at doing that.
But people aren't going to get those shirts for a while,
so we should just do the Super Bowl.
Like, you should do like a...
Well, we're doing...
Niners versus Chiefs or a Bengals versus...
We're doing print-on-demand.
So if we get the ideas rolling today,
we'll be able to print on demand.
So they'll get them in a fast period of time.
Like, people who ordered the play-off Willie shirts
have already gotten their play-off Willie shirts.
Oh, that's dope.
So you're getting them within a week.
Yeah, I don't...
Listen, I'm not going to sign off at anything, Bengals.
Like, and I'm not trying to be a...
or a loser, I just, we just, I lost him
40 hours ago. I've lost to him twice.
You know what I mean?
Stay strong.
Titans fans back here have their hands in the air for the record.
Bro.
It's personal. You know what I mean? You got to just have that separation, I feel like.
There ain't, bro, there ain't no separation.
You got to have that.
I'm not going to do that.
This is what breaks up the podcast.
You don't have to. Now everyone knows. Everyone knows where your stance is.
You really want to do that?
It's already like in motion.
You want the bang? We're going to make a bang.
we're going to make a Bengals T-shirt.
It says for the boys.
I just thought this whole thing was a joke.
I thought you and Jack were like both knew it was a joke.
Like Michigan, like the Michigan,
like the Michigan Cornhusker, Tennessee valls,
like those shirts.
A Bengals version.
It says the boys on it.
It says the boys.
So people in Sensi that are for the boys
that love the pod,
they support us,
buy our merch.
They have something for their team colors.
Let's do that after the Super Bowl.
For them.
What do you mean?
Right now?
That's why you do it right now.
I love that.
I don't want to be a sort of loser, but no.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
How am my teammates going to feel about when they see a busting with the boys fucking
Bengals T-shirt?
You know what it is.
Over there.
And it's just busting with the boys for the boys who day or whatever the fuck they say.
I'm going to say, for the boys who day.
Like this.
I promised it on the helmet though, right?
Maybe.
Right.
But you know what it.
You, bro, you just tell them, bro, please scroll to a minute to a minute 30 of the pod and just
listen.
And you're going back, this is on will.
and I'll fucking take the bullets, dude.
I'll be out there taking the machine gun to the chest.
I'm hoping you have my back at some point in time.
How can I have your back about this?
If it gets dirty out there, like if it gets very violent and mean,
then you're like, hey, guys, this is a fucking podcast,
and we'll pull the shirts down.
We'll pull the shirts down?
Please stop throwing rocks at the house.
We have people threatening to stop following the show if we make this shirt.
Busting with the boys don't want to lose tier two right now.
Yeah, so we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're,
We're taking the opinion of a tier two?
Wow.
They all matter.
Now they're not enough.
I'm just saying to me, the real ones kind of get it.
Bro.
It's been a good pod.
I don't think we're done yet.
Subscribe rate five stars.
I don't want to sign off on this without a conclusion.
You want to make, we're going to get off this podcast.
We're going to make bangles.
I'm not trying to put you on blast right now, but like, could we just talk about, like,
what our main fan base is and probably not.
the like too soon type of vibe.
Yeah, I know, but why don't we make
Chiefs for Spangled shirts and fucking
49ers versus Ramps shirts?
We can, we can do that.
We can look at doing that.
Bro, do not talk to me like you're my boss.
The problem, here's the end.
You can look into doing that.
Okay, here's what?
I will take them into consumer.
Oh, hang on, no.
Your feelings are warranted and I'll get back to you.
What would Matt Neely say about that?
he'd be he's fucking
What would neelie?
Hey, right over right there, dude.
Right over on that it says right there.
What would Matt Neely say about this situation?
Look, hang on, there's a few questions being thrown at me that need different answers.
The reason for the Versus shirt is the fact that we don't have a certain design yet.
Like the boys ones, it's a concept that you can mess with and throw in like if it's the bangles.
Don't fucking talk to me rational, Will.
You're asking why?
It's emotional only, dude.
Like, I would rather do the versus one.
The only reason I said, you know, we'll talk about it.
It's just because I know we can...
All you got to do is put another...
I know we can...
I know we can just, you know, plug and play with the Bengals one.
And then I think it's probably Niners.
I saw it was 50-50 last time I checked.
But that's the answer.
And as far as the whole Titans thing and, like,
we can't do it because we're going to piss off the Titans fan base and stuff like that.
Listen, I love the fucking Titans.
but we are more than just a local brand.
No question, dude.
We're fucking taking over the universe.
I don't doubt that.
But I think we could hold off
on taking over the Cincinnati universe for a week.
You know who's, and those two are the ones clapping.
They're pure-bred Titans fans.
Yeah, but guess what?
Like, it hurts like this.
Right now, the three of us are hurting.
In a week, two weeks, it's like, ah, yeah,
I think, hang on, hang on.
And it's just, we're going to be all right.
Time heals all wounds.
Hey, right.
Right.
Right.
You're right.
The bingles shirts will do it.
We can get the shirts and when we get a bumboys want 10%.
When we get a box of the shirts and we can just burn them.
There's ways to spin into other stuff.
What happens if we make a bingo shirt though and they get it just totally trash next weekend?
And then it's like those shirts were just a waste.
Yeah, but then they get to keep in their closet.
It's like everyone who bought the back-to-back shirts with the Titans.
Like they get to have in their closet.
I'm sure they're going to still wear it.
Are you still going to wear your Tennessee?
volunteers, the Boisei?
That has nothing to do
with this conversation.
They lost to the Music City Bowl.
Of course I'm going to wear my jersey.
It's like, we're not expecting the Titans fans to buy CINCY shirts.
The people in CINC that watch this pod and are about the podcast would buy them and they'd
have in their closet.
A couple things.
One, Cincinnati is in what state, Ohio.
People in Ohio fucking hate me to begin with.
And I just lost to a team from Ohio.
Like, the only people that hate me is the people on the other side of Michigan more.
that's East Lansing.
Like,
and we're just going to do them a solid
by giving them epic fucking swag?
By showing gratitude.
You got to kill people with kindness.
You got to kill people with kindness.
I got to play the Bengals at the Bengals next year.
And you just...
I'm going to go, I'm going to walk in for a warm-up,
and I'm going to see the boy shirt.
You guys would be like, the fucking boy.
And I'm like, damn,
fucking Tennessee fans out here already.
And then they're going to move the hoodie,
the flag over to the right.
And it's just a fucking who day
or whatever the fuck they say.
And I'd be like, kill myself.
And I'm just going to die on the field right there.
I'm like, this is my nightmare.
If we make that shirt, I will kill myself.
You see that?
You're talking about death.
Yeah.
You want that to happen to Jack?
Look how fragile he's got a hood over his head.
He's been sad for a long.
He's barely getting his voice bag.
It's been 48 hours since we kicked off.
48 hours and 30 minutes since we kicked off.
And Bo, you're ready to bury the body.
I'm not ready.
It's warm.
And we're like, literally like, we haven't even done an autopsy yet.
We haven't found that what happened.
Yeah.
Uh, you know.
They do that.
Oh, shit.
Just fucking military boss, man.
You hear that, dude.
You're the Middle East now.
They're so teased?
You just said it, though.
Boss, the hardest dude in here.
I'm heels, man.
The boss is the hardest dude in here.
If there was any doubt.
Now, we ain't cutting that out, boss.
It's far.
Yo, doggie.
Like, we can, I mean, we're going to get nowhere.
Let's just wrap up the show and then we can.
continue to talk about it.
I want this to be on record.
A lot of it is on record.
Everyone knows your stance.
Everyone knows the boys.
Everyone knows I am sitting in a solo corner
and Bloss is just back there going.
You know what, Times Station?
Do you?
Times Day should buy...
Bloss is back there giving me a thumbs up.
Everybody else, yes.
Against the boy now.
Time has need to buy all the shirts.
And then burn those motherfuckers.
Exactly.
Hey, tough.
Tough way to end this podcast.
I have way better energy coming in than I am leaving.
I think you have good energy right now.
I just think it's a different
energy.
You think so?
Yeah.
Sign off and tell the people to subscribe.
As much as like, hey, it's Will's fault, everything else.
Let's talk to about a lot of good stuff, man.
I got it.
To all our loyal Tennessee Titan fans out there, we just want to say thank you for the
amazing year we have had.
Now, you're going to hear a lot of things coming out about us in the next
couple of days, based on what Will, who apparently is our superior now, has decided to do
with this business.
I want you to know the decisions that he's about to make does not directly
reflect my decisions or my views on how these things are about to go. I love you. We all love
you. Jack loves you. Garrett loves you. We're all a part of it together. Now, just in case you didn't
absolutely throw your computer against the wall while Will was trying to burn down the whole entire
city, what you should probably do is do the boys of favor. And I know you're angry,
but just do it while you're mad. You're going to feel better about it when you're happy. Go and

You're going to go scroll down just a touch,

And then you're going to hit Bustin with the boys.
We got the best merch in the game.
There's going to be one piece of cancer in there, dude.
That's going to be tough for you guys to see,
allegedly.
Now, I'm still going to have to work through that in this process.
Buy it up.
Why?
Because we love your support.
We're still trying to produce for you guys
the way you guys have just given us an opportunity
to have a bigger stage, and I'm sorry about Will.
I really am.
Like, you can't hold it against him.
My man's just a mercenary for hire.
Like, he's just out here living.
And he's still got a chance that Bengals might pick his ass up today.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, playoff Willie could still be alive.
So we got to give him some grace.
We got to give him some grace.
Don't judge somebody what they're like in their worst moment.
Don't do that because Will's really showing some cards right now.
But this isn't him.
This is an opportunity for growth for him.
I love you.
