Bussin' With The Boys - Taylor's First Solo, Handshake Drama, and George Kittle

Episode Date: December 7, 2020

Recorded: December 1, 2020 On this week's episode, we have another BWTB first: Taylor hosts his first solo pod. To start things off, Taylor gives his thoughts on the Titans' season so far, he breaks down Mike Vrabel & John Harbaugh's post-game almost-handshake, and he throws a special shoutout to the boy, David Lee Quessenberry. Next up, Taylor recaps the Titans' Week 12 win in Indianapolis, and he also gives us an update on his ACL rehab. Finally, 49ers tight end, George Kittle joins The Boy to discuss the NFL season possibly ending early, the Nebraska vs Iowa rivalry game (sorry Comp), and how soon he thinks he could return to action. Another awesome episode, and a big shoutout to Nashville's Dad for crushing his first pod by himself.

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. 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 harmed.

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 I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is not what you thought it was.

Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Danny Shapiro. And these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of Family Secrets. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to Season 14 of Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, are you on the NFLPA? Have you heard anything about this season possibly, you know, cutting short and going right into the playoffs? Because I've heard a couple rumors about that. I'm anxious to hear what that phone call happens after that phone call happens this evening. Are you going to be on that call? There's a phone call this evening?

I'll tell you what we, I thought a long time ago when I would see like Theo or Chris Delia do their own podcast. I would sit there and I'd be like, I could fucking do that. That's no problem. That's like, looks like an absolute blast. And now I'm like kind of, I was driving my, my truck over here and I was like you know what I got some I got some butterflies in this thing I got so a couple little flutters going on all right they were caterpillars last week when I said

I'd do it and then slowly but surely over the weekend they cocooned up and now here we are on a Tuesday and we got some fucking flutters in here right now but I'm excited I got my emotional support team Garrett's here uh Josh Alex Jackie boy don't think I didn't forget about you you still rocking a mustache or what fucking rights boys I was um I thought of a lot of things go down the last couple weeks. I had a I've had a little bit of an emotional roller coaster. Jerry's been out lately. He's been doing his thing because the game, the Indianapolis game, fucking that thing,

watching the boys do what they did just overwhelmed me. It was overwhelming. It was just a strong, strong situation. And I'll get into that all that because there's usually the point where Will slows me down and says, hey, we got to do the intro on the podcast. So I will now welcome to bust with the boys. My name is Taylor Luan. I'm not accompanied by Will Compton today. We'll get in that once this intro is over.

Brought to you by Barstool Sports. We're happy to have you, but we're also happy that you guys bought in to the weeks, to Cyber Monday, to whatever the Friday thing is, Black Friday. And just the overwhelming support's been, it's been crazy. It's been amazing.

You guys have been much more than Will and I ever expected this to be, not even two years into this whole entire thing. It's pretty unbelievable. But keep subscribing. been keep rating five stars and it's a word of mouth baby it's like you guys are following us and that's good but unless your buddy's looking over your shoulder 24-7 they're not gonna they're not gonna know about bust with the boys the tier three cats you see on the explore page keep throwing those likes

keep subscribing keep rating five stars we need that right because we're just gonna keep on scaling this fucking ladder hold it hold a hold like fucking holland dude we're getting up that motherfucker so we appreciate you and don't think we're gonna call some of you guys today it's gonna be amazing. Hopefully if you pick up, I literally said, we're like the cable guy, man, between three and five. And those are really fucking good numbers for a cable guy. After I, the dude, I tell you what, boy got a car accident last night. So I was a little banged up. And I thought that's when I sent that tweet out. So, you know, I looked at it. I was like, man, three to five is a lot, a big stretch. But really, it's not. You got the refrigeration guy going out to your house.

It's fucking two to six, two to eight type of situation. You're eating dinner. You're putting your kids asleep and the guy's ringing the doorbell to come to work on your shit. We're not going to do that to you here. But as always, we're really happy to have you here on Bustin with the boys. Getting back to where I was at before the intro, the pre-intro, before the intro, was Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans. And I know this thing always plays,

which is a Tuesday right now. So it's been two days since the game. And this will play on what Monday? So we'll be in December, baby. That's the last month of the year, which 2020, ups and downs for a lot of people. I like to say more ups and downs. but it's probably a 50-50,

like a 51-49 type of situation. But one thing that's been a lot of ups is the Tennessee Titans, ma'am. And it was really cool to see the kind of the progression. And as always, Derek, in November and December, for whatever reason, man, I'm not a running back.

I don't know how to run the fucking ball. And Rable will probably kill me for even talking about the situation the way I'm about to talk about it because I know how to play left tackle. And that's the only thing I know how to do is to play left tackle. But when you watch the Tennessee Titans,

play the Colts two weeks ago. And yeah, I got my Twitter out. I'm tweeting because I want, you know, I'm supporting the boys, right? I'm being the number one fan I can possibly be. But when I'm watching this whole thing, and, you know, there's a special team stuff, things aren't looking as sharp as you like them to,

and they end up losing the way they did. And then a week later, come out and beat the Ravens. When you saw on the 50-yard line, for the record, we have done that. We, I'm on the team still. for the last four years, we have done that. We have literally gone to the 50 yard line and broke it down on away games. We've done that.

We do that to our own home game. And then Harbaal's puffing his chest out. I get it. I can understand why it's disrespectful. And it is a little disrespectful. It is. I kind of like it. I think it's a sassy little fucking thing to do.

And yet, I think four years ago, and we've been fucking nine and seven for God knows how long. We've been nine and seven for fucking ever. That's like our stamped, well, Tennessee Titans are going to be this year, nine and seven. they're going to be one above 500 and they're going to be okay at best. And, you know, to have that kind of attitude, that's, that's, I like that I like a little piss and vinegar on the team. And you can see it. You can see it with the team and it's awesome.

Malcolm Butler, dude. Malcolm Butler, AJ. And then Vrable, let me tell you something about Mike Rable, dude. Let me just fucking lay this piece of work down. All right. This man, he might have just pretended like, ah, it's nothing. He had a, like, he was six to midnight, dude. He fucking, when he saw.

another coach walk up to his players. Rabel fucking took a deep breath. He went, it's fucking time. And he walked his ass out there. And the most Rable, most alpha male thing of Rable could do. Rable hardly even looked at,

is it John? Which hardball is it? Is John. Guy, keep fucking that up, dude. He doesn't even look. He's looking at the ref. John's here. He's looking at the rep.

He's like, just go coach the game. And he kind of like side-eyes him. Just go coach the game. And it's disrespectful. Just go coach the game. You know, just go coach. Vrable, you know the way Vrable fucking did that. The way Malcolm Butler got in his face, the way, or the way A.J. Brown was there smiling with his beautiful white teeth.

That guy has, he told me he doesn't have veneers. It's a fucking lie. I don't believe you for one second, AJ. You absolutely have veneers. Just, oh my God. And then for the guys to go out, put on a dominating run game performance, I don't think there was, I think there was a sack. There was a one or two sacks. but the protection for the most part was really good

the defense played well they played really good and then a couple things you know the the niggas you always have to talk about the niggas and the positives right so like the team overall played it very well in that game with the Ravens then you know tisembrello rip to the boy you hate to see another guy go down and we'll get into we'll get into david lee in a little bit

that guy the way he fucking the way he fucking took care of business was unbelievable tie sombrella goes down that's that's a heartbreaker man because he works his ass off it's it's tough to see that I feel bad not only for him I feel bad for the rest of the offensive line because it's tough dude when you let I had I had an absolute swing door around me my first couple of years with my guards he's Quinn Spain came in he and I were together for three years or so but that first two years it was a it was an absolute like a like a buffet

like I was getting a little bit of this a little bit of that I looked at the desserts a little bit but you know my sweet I can do it but overall I had like five or six different guards in my first two years it's a fucking lot to get the chemistry down. And I think that's, you know, it's a fucking, it's a lot. It's a lot to work on. And to watch Tygo down was tough.

I'm not sure what his injury was. I'm not going to make the mistake of fucking bringing that up again because I actually got a text from Vrable when I brought up Corey Davis's Turftoe, which I'll probably get it. There it is again. You just did it one more time. Fuck.

I'll probably get a text about that. But I brought up Corey Davis's Turftoe third time. And Vrabel fucking, what do you do? Oh, Mike Vrable, text message. And he's like, well, I can't wait to show this. That's another, that's positive for COVID. Because of COVID, we didn't have OTAs. Couldn't show that in team meeting.

Save myself fucking some red cheeks, you know. Also, Jayon Brown goes down. You see what happened at Jayon. Man, the poor bastard. Jayon is one of the most lovable, likable people you'll ever see. Be around, ever. The guy is just, he's a smiley, happy, like, kind of just a little everywhere guy. He's unbelievable.

And to see him go down on that kind of pain. Taylor and my wife absolutely loves Jayonne and I know some of you're thinking it's not like that She just likes him all right They're friends they've talked They have a good rapport You know what? Anything else that happened?

I don't know I trust the both of them You know, the boy and my girl So it was tough to see those guys go down But then so you beat Baltimore After you beat Baltimore with that performance AJ Brown fucking hulking cats

On his fucking little Like what? It's like third and seven Catches a slant Woulda got stuff Stop short. Beast mode. Beast mode. Punch in the face. And then takes a linebacker. Yes, I know, Queen, if we ever play together, or if you ever hear this, yes, you're up high. That's how the situation goes. You weren't low. You were trying to get over to save it. But you know what, AJ kept those fucking legs absolutely turning. It was impressive. Corey Davis is always. One of the most underrated guys of the season, I think we can all agree on this. Corey Davis. Guys not talked about enough. His fifth year option wasn't picked up. You know he was frustrated about that. The passing of his brother the last two weeks. Like, and the dude puts up on the last three games,

two and a hundred yard games? Did he have 100 yards this past game? I don't think he did. I think he had a little less. Because he had a nice catch against the Colts, but I digress. Was that? Nothing.

I'm looking up. Oh, you're looking it up. Okay. Yeah, Corey Davis, very underrated. And Queen, you know what? Hey, you got stood up, my guy, and you fucking backpedaled in that goddamn end zone. That's what happens.

I've been decleted before. I've been got before. That was a situation. where you, Marlon Humphreys, Peters, Patrick Peter, what's his name? Peters, Marcus Peters. And I know he's a shit talker,

so he's probably gonna see this and get mad at me. Listen, my dude, it happens, right? I give up sex, TFL's. Shit doesn't look good sometimes. You guys didn't look good right there. For that kind of winning performance by the Titans. And then for Rable, right? So he's already big-timed hard-ball once.

Rable's already big-timed him with the fucking, the side-eye. He handled the situation great, I think. I really think he didn't. I think it was hilarious. I'm all about a little running that edge a little bit about, is he being disrespectful? Is he not?

I think Vrable handled that first part right. Then the fucking steak in the heart, he walks up and goes to shake his hand. Vrable knows. Vrable knew 30 yards away when he was jogging to John. This mother, this dude's definitely not shaking my hand. And after this, I know for a fact, I'll never play for the Ravens. I am looking at, hey, listen,

I'm not trying to be. It's respectful. You're great football team. Brable is walking over, and I feel like Vrable is walking towards him with his hand ascended as far as he possibly can. Shoulders coming out of the socket. Like he knows. He's going to come in.

He doesn't, but that's how I felt Vrable was doing it. He walks over and extends his arm as far as he fucking can in my mind. And John goes, I'm good, thanks, or whatever. Rewind it. I want to try to make out exactly what he said. He's wearing a mask because he's following COVID protocols. Fuck! That's a negative COVID.

That's a negative situation of COVID. Look at. Braybill, after he extends the arm, his arm is this long. He sees John doing a, you can tell it's not a yes. It's not a no. He's not really shaking his head. So you see him bring it in. You see him bring his arm in like this.

Like he's going to grab his six shooter. Like he's in a wild western fucking movie, right? And he's about to. But instead of doing that, he leans in. Like, oh. he leans in like this dude this close me and the mic Harball

Vrable this is not six feet probably could get fined for that right COVID huh leans in like this and he I don't even know what the words works and it was probably like go fuck yourself okay and out of there

that was probably it it was lean in go fuck yourself all right W and Vrable left dude now if we lost that game that shit you know Harbaal would have fucking came out the hand and probably gave him the fucking

the Donald Trump poll like, hey, fucking come here. Don't ever disrespect me again. That's probably what he fucking would have done, right? It worked out in Rabel's favor. It was a, it was, and I played for the Titans.

So I love it. If I'm a Ravens fan, I fucking hate the Titans. And I don't know a lot about this, that the Ravens history, the Titans history. I know Eddie George gets on his, his rampages about that once in a while.

I didn't really watch football growing up. And I know there's a lot of history there. And now the rivalry is back, right? I don't know how you do that when they're in the AFC North and we're in the FC South. It's literally two different degrees like like that, like a compass. We're literally in the opposite spectrums. Boom, we're like that.

But it's back. It's fucking back right now. And the fucking the arm to the pistol to the W. Vrabel out of there, dude, it could not have worked better. It could not. I just, Brabel went home and probably put the same fucking video on YouTube and just did horrible things to himself. I'm just saying, dude, I fucking love Mike Vrable, dude. And I love the shit.

does and I'm gonna get in trouble for this I feel like but the about face though what's that how quick he does the about face as soon as he realized though we're not shaking hands oh yeah and then the prideful next two steps are the greatest moment his chest like dude like he literally went to the chiropractor hey hardball thanks for the chiropractic work I'm out of here dude as a as a player watching the game as a individual let's say I'm not with a tyin's here fucking I don't know what this is but this is me getting out of the time Titans. I'm out of the Titans. Now fucking I'm watching this. That's just good shit, right? And there's

going to be like five years from now. I don't know. Hopefully I never lose to the Ravens again. But 10 years from now, we're in the distant future. How far away? And it's 2036. COVID is still rampaging. Joe Biden's the president. And fucking the Ravens win. And then then fucking Harbaal does it to that shit's funny too. And now it's double funny. Right. Now we're double funny back and fourth. That shit I love, dude. I fucking love, I love the back and forth. I hate that we lost Jayon. I hate that we lost tie. But you know what? It was a good team win. And it was beautiful. And I think John Robinson has done a great job with this team. And you know what? Some of you were like, he knows exactly what he's talking about. He plays football. I have no fucking idea what I'm talking about.

I need you to know that. So when you're getting my little like my, my, cerebellum, my brain shots into your ear, they probably don't mean anything, right? It's probably a Fugazi. You know what I'm saying? It's a fairy dust type of deal. Whatever. This is just one man's humble opinion.

And you know what? I have a bus. I have a bus with three tiers of people and they're fucking following, baby. You know what? I love it because you guys crushed it. See, we're full circle. It's kind of nice.

It's kind of nice. I miss the shit at a will and I'll get into Will and then we'll go now we've literally Tarantino this thing again where we've done that before and then the intro and then the Coltsville wait. How about the Ravens? and then we'll get back into the Colts

because I, there is shit about this team that as an individual who's been used since 2014, the growth, the love, I am obsessed with it. But it is kind of nice

without Will here to fucking rain me in. I can kind of just do whatever I want, right? I'm blazing saddles right now. Dude, I'm kind of just riding bear back and we're hoping to God

it's going to work out. Who knows? But Compton, yeah, and also it's been a little bit of a theme. I don't know if you've seen, COVID, COVID, COVID, it's been in my shit.

This whole fucking thing's been in my podcast shit is the COVID situation. And part of the, part of the COVID situation is NFL's, dude, it's tightening shit down. Your boys on IR, another silver lining of COVID, right? We're keeping score. I think that's 2 to 1. Another silver lining of COVID. I'm on IR, all right? Now, does it bode well for my career?

We'll see. But one thing it bodes well for is I can do the podcast. But me and Will cannot be in the same room. According to the new COVID rules. And it's crazy. I got to read the fine print because they sent a document. There wasn't any pictures. So you boy didn't read much.

But my agent called me and he told me a lot about it. Basically with the new rules that's happening is they're doing their best. I know there's a call tonight with the NFLPA, which they'll probably fuck up. And I don't feel bad saying that because they're a PA sucks. But they'll probably fuck it up because they're talking about, I don't know if the season's getting shut down early. I don't know if that's happening. If they're going to go to playoffs, there's some shit going down. I'm not a part of that call because I'm not a representative or whatever.

but Will is like a third alternate. He is, he's going to be on that call. So I'll know more about that tonight and you'll know more about that two weeks from now. And, but on this, in this new COVID protocol, is one of the things is that you can't be, basically you can't be seen outside anymore.

Like, it says a bunch of shit, but you can't really be seen outside anymore. You can't, like me and Will can't hang out for Thanksgiving. They're saying, hey, don't have anybody, don't have anyone come to your house. Don't even have family members coming to town. And I get it.

I know there's the fucking you Slytherans out there, dude. Just fucking snaking around thinking to yourself, Well, you guys are paid millions of dollars and you guys shouldn't complain. Stop it right there. Let me just fucking stop you right there. Because we're going to complain, all right? We're just going to do it. All right?

I don't give a shit if I make $60,000 or $6 million. The Thaians do. an amazing job. And this is a good job by Vrable. Because Vrable, yeah, we have a PR team. They fucking tell us how to do shit. Vrable sits in front of these team meetings and he says, this is how we're going to handle this shit as a team. You don't hear the Titans really bitching about shit, right?

They are. Let me just tell you right now. They're in the locker room complaining. I promise. But they're doing it keeping in house, which is a really good job. Now, other teams scurrying around, not going to say name, Steelers, are upset about shit, right? Because

now the Steelers have had a bad fucking didn't break all year. So I understand why dudes are mad. And I follow Eric Ebron, who has been an absolute fucking bouncing ball in the league of talent, who was drafted one one pick before me. Fuck you, Eric. In a nice way. I actually respect the shit of you. So Will is not able to come to the podcast with the boy. And I miss the fuck out of him. Honestly, and I fucking, I was talking, I just miss him, right? I just want to put my big hands around them, grab them, maybe give him a pre-cup couple birthday spankans, all right? No pause. Beautiful teeth. And I just I think about, man, I would, the rapport we have, right?

The back and forth. Hey, hey. Oh, jump up and shout. That's fucking it, right? If you think about, if you think about the fucking opening scene of wedding crashes. And Vince Vaughn's doing this. And we lost a lot of good guys out there playing for the Yankees. Yeah, to trades, unruly fans.

I don't want to talk about it. That kind of shit. That's the back and forth that I love with Will. I miss him. I love him and I wish he was here. But fuck, man, I'm proud of the boy. I'm really fucking proud of him because, I think Will's been trying not to play in the NFL for the last three years.

And let me tell you why. Will goes to the Redskins undrafted cat, right? Dude, he's a real fucking... Who's the cat for the linebacker we talked about forever for the Steelers? Oh, Spillane. Robert Spillane. God. I fucking blow the guy for 10 minutes in a pod.

I can't remember his name the next week. CTO! He was a real Robert Splane getting in there, dude. Just fucking love football. Loved football, dude. And he was all about fucking the Redskins, right? Oh, oops. Don't mean to take DeLea content, but that wasn't oops.

He was all about the Washington football team. Fucking live for it, died for it, breathe for him. Met his damn fiancee there, all right? Which her and I have actually established a better relationship in the last couple days. We'll get to that maybe if there's time. Because I'm starting to realize that this fucking motor mouth over here is getting a little much. Jesus, we're 22 minutes in.

I got worried on this pod. am I going to make it even 15 minutes? Well, looks like we've answered the question. Will plays for the Washington football team. Loves it, lives it, breathes it. Is a special team's captain? Like, that's a huge accomplishment.

Especially the kind of guy wills. It really shows a lot about him and who he is as a person. You know, it just says a lot. Comes to the Titans on a minimum deal. Play is, kind of plays, doesn't play, whatever. He and I became really good friends with that. Me, him and Mike Kampanaro.

My camp, Mike kind of fizzled. And me and Will. kind of skyrocket. And he's like, I'm kind of, I think I'm done. I don't know if I want to play again. I just want to go out my terms. So the next year rolls around, he's like, ah, I don't know what I'm going to do.

What's going on? And ends up playing for the Raiders, as you all know. This year, like, not even a fucking chance in my mind. We literally talked on the phone two weeks before we got signed to the Titans. And I was like, do you be so sick if you play for the Titans? There's zero fucking chance of that happening. Well, when you know it, 2020, silver linings, right? Somehow COVID made this happening.

That's three to one. Will is now on the Titans and it's unbelievable. And so Will plays week, you know, I say week five. I guess it was week seven, but it was game five for us. You boy, we already know the fucking thing. I tore my assail. And it's like whatever, you know, fucking it's going to work out. And Will, but Will's on the fucking active roster.

He's making good money this year. He's, dude, his ship is sailing in the damn wind. Dude, he's just living the dream. Fucking sailing on a boat. calm waters, dude, but a nice breeze. The boy, you know, I think, Jackie, do you remember when he got cut? Because were we in Florida when he got cut or was like right before?

We were in Florida. Is it a day after my surgery? Jack? That's great fucking work, dude. You look like the burglar from home alone. So we fucking, and that's a compliment, I think. I don't know if you're the tall one or the thicker one.

You're probably the taller one without the hair. Nope, you got to be a thicker one. He wears the beanie. Will gets cut, goes their practice squad. Now, egos are hurt. However, there's a deal here, right? There's a good deal because we'll still get to make all that money from this year. But then there's the practice squad money that, you know, we'll call it change compared to what it was.

And I know I just talk to you haters out there about the whole complaining thing. Don't complain millions. It's changed compared to the other situation. Now, all right, silver lining is everywhere. Poor Jayon, I hate it for him. I love him to death. But what happens? Will gets called back up to the active roster.

Now, I don't know how the situation works because I haven't been in it, and I really hope I'm never not. Knock on wood. I don't know what the situation is about how you, on a weekly basis, up down, through and around, how you get back on the active roster, how many weeks it takes for you to have a whole new contract. But this is called, you go to Dairy Queen, you dip the cones. This is not one, but this is a double dip for Will.

All right? And I asked him. And that's a big deal for him from a financial standpoint. I'm really, really happy for him because, and it's not the Titans fault, right? Like situations that they couldn't see in the future happen to them, right? We're reaching for shit that we don't fucking see, right? And he's fucking, he, now he made his money. He went practice squad, change.

And now he's getting reactivated, making half of the money that he, like half of that other contract. So the boy is almost doubling his money for the year. And I am like super happy for him. I don't know what is going on with his life the next year. He always says, like I said, less three years, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done. The boy's going to play 15 years probably. You know what I'm saying? He's going to have a fucking cane.

I can do one more. You know, one of those situations, he'll look into the distance. Well, it was 1970, one of those deals and he'll fucking play. Because the guy's a legend, and I love him to death. But, you know, pros and cons, right? Now boy can't sit in it because COVID. And so that's three to two. And I hate it.

I hate that he's not here. But it is a huge positive that I'm not just going to get interrupted sometimes, you know, or be told to be put back on track because I got the reins. I'm running the show. And that's where we go back to the Indianapolis Colts. But before we go back to the Indianapolis Colts, let's listen to one of our sponsors because you guys listen enough for us to get those.

I, let me just let you know. I know. we're following the bouncing ball as it goes. This is, you're welcome to my brain, right? Because I'm just, this is what's up here. And it just,

instead of getting translated, organized, and then this is the organized, it just goes like this way. It goes a different, and it comes out that way. So we're not very organized right now, but we're getting it done.

Joshy boy. I'm going to give you the jazz snaps, dude, because the videos that you're putting together right now, you're not only snipping, you're not snipping Titans fans' giggle box, but you're also snipping other people's giggle boxes, all right?

I don't know if, I don't know if I don't know if I don't know if I want, want to stay on the fucking hill of giggle box, but you've done a great job of putting the faces and the mouse moving and the star, and I know Will had a goddamn boner of the Star Wars thing. Did he tell you to do that? No. Yes. I love that.

It was 100% your idea. No. The scene was Garrett's idea. So, John, Garrett! Jazz snaps. Nope, we're doing jazz steps today. We're switching up because why I have the reins. That's nice.

I kind of like that, though. We might have to live on that. Well, only when Will's not here. If Will tries to do it, fuck him, dude. We're not doing it, right? we all have inside jokes now and you guys are in on it um fucking josh you made a great video dude of i don't watch star was i don't know which one it was it looks like one of the newer ones not from like the 80s with fucking yoda with a little puppet mask but it is a newer isish one right yes is it an older one

well it's it's not like 2000 and like seven yeah yeah 2000 yeah 2000 yeah 2000 yeah early 2000 i know dude but like star wars came out when i wasn't born right and then i lived i earthed and then later in life they made more and that's the situation we're at, right? Now we're doing the Mandalorian or whatever that is. But no free shoutouts for Mandalorian because I don't know how you would sponsor us, but I don't see a baby Yoda next to me. So fuck around.

You've done a great job, Josh. I love them. Every week I'm like excited because Sunday, oh, dude, talk about living on a prayer, right? Some people bet on games. Josh sends me videos of what we're going to post if we win. And I'm like, dude, I'm literally, I'm like journey, baby. I'm living on a prayer, dude. I'm hoping to God.

We would obviously win the game because what the boys do win the game. but fuck man i am like just dying to post that thing because it's it's hilarious the shit you do man you do you do great work and i'm happy to have you on the bus you're doing it's phenomenal shit appreciate it man no worse so the boys go play the indianapolis cult if you've seen that video you know we won if you pay attention to football you know we won now this is where my moods have been a touch up and down through and around right like a roller coaster 2014 I was drafted the Tennessee Titans You would not even fucking like as a Titans fan

You think to yourself there's no chance that they're gonna win in Indianapolis right Like hey hopefully we spoke with the Colts this year because they went from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck pain manning blip on the radar andrew luck right As a Titans fan you're like hopefully we can win it split with them and then but a bit a bit about a moment you know what I'm saying because they were so so impressive the Colts coming in having the performance they did to the untrained eye, you would think they would probably do the same thing at home. Now, I wish to God Bloss was here,

because he's going to catch a little shade from the boy in a second. But I'm very proud of the way the Titans did it. And this is why I brought up 2014. In 2014, we went 2 and 14, all right? And 2015, we went 3 and 13. You, if there was a touch of adversity, a sprinkle, right? You're making a pie. You do the fucking, what's that Mexican cat's dude name,

the chef dude? He sprinkles it on his form Salt Bay. You fucking salt bay something on there, whatever. It's fucking over, right? Like there's no chance that team, the attitude of that team. And there were good players on the team who didn't have that attitude, but as a culture, it wasn't there.

And that's something Amy's really done a really good job of John and Vrable, because it really didn't come until they were here. You know, and it's no offense to the other coaches that were there. I have a lot of respect for Wiz. He was here for a year and a half. malarkey, you know, whatever. But then Vrabel fucking comes in and does an amazing job of change. Just Vrable's attitude, right?

When Ravel talks to the boys, it's always like his eyes are a little, and he's doing this and his shoulders are shrugged. And it's just, listen, like, it's fucking football, right? That's literally usually how he starts the sentence. And then he goes into a thing. So to watch, you know, to watch and be a part of the teams in 2014, and then, yeah, the juries and uniforms have changed, but it's still the same team to see them going. and do that. Nothing's perfect, right? Things happened. Things were missed during the week. For them to go and do that was like as not only a fan, but as a player of the team, you know, you're like, fuck, that is the coolest shit ever. Like how, like, that's awesome. And I don't know, like, every year is different. But this year 2020, all the adversity. And that's where we go back to teams talking about, you know, oh, you know, we, well, we didn't get a buy week. And it's week four. And we're not playing. Like, it's true.

Like, and I, for the Steelers, I feel terrible because the one fucking bi-week they did have, right? Or the small little break that Thursday night game. Now it's getting fluffered everywhere, dude. The Ravens have no teams. Now people are calling for the Ravens heads. They should forfeit when week five we were doing that shit. It's fucking all over the place, my dude. It's a crazy gig, but to watch the Tennessee Titans, not a lot of complaining, not a lot of anything,

just the amount of varsity that they went through. And you guys might get mad because you guys broke the rules. I didn't see any fines. I didn't see anything take place on the Tennessee Titans that were of a great magnitude that people thought was going to happen. People thought we were going to lose draft picks. People thought, no joke, I'm not kidding.

Someone in the NFL who's very close to the NFL, who I'm not going to say his name, told me he firmly believes that Vrable and John are spent it for a year. And now all the film has been looked at, and it just shows, you know, with this COVID day, it's a fucking weird deal. Some guys, some guys get it,

get it a bunch. Some dudes don't, people get really sick. People don't even show shit. And regardless, when you're in the football season, like I said about the blinders before, you're fucking, you got these little bitches on. And if something, you know, the wind blows a little hard, one of those fucking little blinders moves, it's hard to stay on track. And you go into that Bills game or you go into, you know, the Colts game and stuff like that

with all this adversity going on around you, in your team, all this stuff. And to play the way they did, man, it's just cool. It's just cool and awesome to be a part. of and it's really cool and awesome to be a part of Nashville, Tennessee, because watching the love you guys have had, right, you go from 2014, 15, 16, 17, talking about, remember when Eddie George was here, Matt, Keith Bullock was here, McNair, and those guys are amazing football players. And it's awesome. And I had the same thing at Michigan, right?

It was always, you know, what about fucking who's the guy, the team, the team, the team? Oh my God, I'm going to get absolutely murdered for this. what is his name I'll tell you what man we're showing a little couple signs I sit to a listen to car sit to a

just type in the team the team the team do you know what it is a Michigan guy yeah he's a Michigan coach Beauchampbeckler didn't if you're listening I didn't need the Google

and I hope Josh or whoever did it caught it up a little bit so I didn't look so stout but like the Michigan talks about the coaches oh back then right like

2004's last 10, then they won a bit of a championship. It's always about back then, back then, back then. And now to see the span from 2014 to now 2020. Now people are talking about the present Titans. Fans are excited. And there's nothing cooler than an excited fan base, dude. I was at those games.

You saw me chugging the beers at the catfish at the Predators games. That shit is cool. Like being a part of like a fan base that's into and supporting a team the way Nashville does, when the teams deserve it. Now, I know there's fair whether. fans everywhere. And I know things are up and down and people can be fans, but kind of take a step back. I'm totally fine with that because I understand it's hard to root for shit when shit's not going

right. But fucking seeing Nashville kind of get back on that damn bandwagon, dude, just like you guys have done with the bus. It's unbelievable. I absolutely love it. Obviously, things go better for the bus when the boys are doing well. But it's fucking awesome. So fast forward to this Colts game.

And the boys come in and I'm nervous. I'll be honest with you. I'm nervous. I don't know, right? because things have been a little bit. I'm watching as a fan now. I don't know the play calls anymore. I don't know whose fault is this or what's going on that.

Obviously, you see the punt getting blocked. You can see on the replay who did what in that in the first Colts game. But you go to, you watch this Colts game. And Derek Henry from the start, dude, is just taking off. 17 rushes, 144 yards, three touchdowns. Dude, that's fucking cool. Now there was one that was like a fucking, it was a pass, but it was counsel to run because it was technically a lateral.

Sure. I'll fucking take it, dude. I love Derek. He is one of my favorite teammates of all time. Not like, you know, NFL all the time. High school, all of them. Like, he's one of my favorites because the way he plays so hard. And the way he comes alive, dude, the way he just fucking takes it and keeps rolling and keeps going.

I think it's unbelievable. AJ's another one dude that you, I just love being around him, right? He's got an infectious personality. And for him to have the success he did. But one of the coolest things that you can see the Titans, do that I like listen I don't watch a lot of football outside of my team and who we're playing against on film

if you watch Tennessee Titans and you watch our wide receivers they fucking block dude and yeah sometimes they miss blocks sometimes they fuck up so I fuck up you know what I'm saying sometimes shit just goes down right but if it was right after the two minute warning in the first yeah it had to be in the first half it was like a minute 56 seconds

fucking make me an idiot if I am or not but you fucking you watch that and you know Tan Hill does something I think he checks it. He says something, blah, blah, I'm not going to say

what he says. He says it. Now you see Corey Davis come down in next to the tight ends. So you know, it's probably not a pass,

you know? Some dude fire fucking crackers inside and Corey blocks these shit out of him. I think that in a nutshell just says what

this fucking team's about dude and it's just cool. It's cool that I get to say I'm a part of that team. It's cool that you get to say that you're a fan of this team. That's the kind of shit that's so epic.

You know what I'm saying? when you watch a play, you can see Derek Henry make great runs. But you're not watching the offensive line. And listen, here's a quick spoiler. Did not like Keith Carter when he became. We're still on the rock sometimes, right? We fucking, you know, your boy can be a little up and down sometimes. And I'll say Keith can't too.

But the way he's fucking got the offensive line playing right now is awesome. You watch, there are several plays where you can see Nate Davis and Roger Stafford run to the linebackers and take Roger consistently takes dudes out of the screen but just take dudes take him for a ride buckle up hey keep all arms and legs inside the frame

at all times during the ride type of shit you know what I'm saying there's an absolute warning sign when you got fucking Roger Saffel coming at you and it's terrifying my boy Will knows if he was here he talked about that first point in the Raiders game my fuck

but those dudes man the way they play now all this goes down all like the defense plays great 39 Brockers borders Borders. Now, I don't even think we were on the team together. I don't know if I was. Hey, listen, it was fucking, it was a dizzy year. Borders, like, boom, right? He catches one right between the three and the nine. Or he drops one right between the three and nine. Absolute shit. Then he fucking, snips one out of the air. Could have had two. Like, just, dude, the fucking, the short memory on that cat to be able to do those things, right? Will will tell you, he and I talked about after the game. He had a shit first series. I don't know shit about, I don't know shit about defense. I do not know anything. All right. You can go watch my highlights as a junior in high school on YouTube.

They're literally awful. It's a tall kid standing straight up, finding the ball and running after it. That's my highlights. Will literally had a bad hit about series. He bites, dude gets a big game, blah, blah, blah, and then he's in and out, all this difference. It had a great second half. But the short memory, the dude had a short memory.

Harold Landry, right? You bring in Judeven Connie, bring in Vic Beasley, bringing all these dudes. Harold was there from the get-go. Now, Harold's the only dude right now because injuries or whatever. I don't know what's going on in there because I'm not in the building. Harold plays an effort every single day. He plays just as hard in camp when I was playing against him that he does in the games. That's the shit that's just awesome.

That's the shit that as fans, yes, you can look at other things and be like, oh, that was a bad pick here, right? Polkarski, that was a bad pick, and this was a bad pick. But what about the bad this pick was? Look at all the things John has done since he's been here. Picking dudes getting third rounders. Nate Davis couldn't tie his shoes and chew gum last year at the same time playing football. It was tough to watch at times. Now, the dude has taken a step like,

dude, I'm telling you, I'm, I don't know what he's going to be. I don't know what his future holds for him. I'm just happy for the guy that he's doing well. And you see the fucking, the transition. That's coaching. That's fucking good job on coaching. That's good job on players buying into a culture that we have. All right?

And it's exciting to be a part of even as a fan because I'm here with you now. But the biggest story of the Indianapolis Colts was, was David Lee Quessonbury. Now, back up to, I think it was 2014 or 2013. I'm going to butcher this a little bit because I don't write notes down, okay? Your boy fucking made it through college with the 2-0. It was a bit of a deal.

David Lee is a is a walk-on. I think I saw it in his brother's Instagram post on Sunday. It was a walk-on to San Jose State. The guy gets a scholarship, obviously, plays, and it's drafted in a late round to the Houston Texans. Now, in OTAs, if you heard the podcast of David Lee with his dog and me and Will sitting here, it's a great one because you want to talk about fucking university.

People want to complain about their 9-to-5 jobs not making enough fuck around with that dude David Lee's gone through that shit now I'll take the questionberry family over anybody at this point David Lee um starts feeling some pain starts feeling I don't you know it's just just not feeling right right so he goes to one of the trainers and the trainer's like hey hey won't you go to the hospital go check some stuff out trainer new he said after the whole thing if you if you've watched the podcast I'm not going to refer to that anymore if you haven't listened by now fuck you um David Lee you know goes to the hospital

ends up having a very aggressive form of cancer the dude Listen, there's a phrase called scratch all day, match all way to learn this this year. That dude is the definition of that phrase. He goes, beats the shit out of the super aggressive cancer. Talk about cats die with this shit. I know everyone does. There's all forms against people that are from. But this dude's got aggressive shit.

It's not like I have a blemish here that could be. Let's skip that out. He's got to go through chemo. He's got to go do shit. And not only that, once you beat cancer, it's not like, oh, we're out of the woods now. it's like a three to five year deal of, you know, it could come back anytime. So anytime, like when you and I hit the winter months and we got sniffle, like you're, you're a boy up here, I'm a little stuffed up top or I got a little fucking little thing back here.

I'm in my head and like, ah, fuck, I guess I'm getting a little sick. David Lee, for those three to five years, is like, am I getting cancer again, dude? Like, that's some crazy fucking shit, am I right? The dude is just, it's insanity to me. So this guy beats the shit out of that, right? Goes Houston Texans. I don't know anything about the Texans owner who passed away. But I know they had cancer at the same time.

And David Lee says so many good things about him. And it's really cool to hear about an owner and a player, you know, have that type of connection. It's unfortunate what the connection was. But it's a beautiful thing, right? And that's something that people need to pay more attention to, especially in years like this. He beats, he beats it, goes back to Houston. The guy doesn't start a game, right? But he fucking got cancer in the NFL said, I got a dip for a second, fellas.

Cruz is out, gets down to 245. Literally said, and I'm not going to refer to it, because if you didn't hear it the first two times, fuck you, but you can go back. Says, I saw myself in the mirror, and I didn't even know who I couldn't even recognize myself. So now, this dude's 245 works his ass back, right? Now, if you don't know David Lee's past, I do, I'll fill you in.

His family's military, dude. His dad was a Navy pilot, I believe. His brother went to Navy, served for four years, and it is now on the practice squad for the Patriots. The family needs to write a fucking book, dude. It's cool as shit. And then Scotty, we, we, I'm part of the family too. We make fun of his ass all time because he's like the blue chip kid, right?

Nothing really has. You know, he's got scholarship. They're drafted, plays. Love Scotty to death, though. Kids an absolute petition. Follows the pod, too. Good for him. David Lee goes from the Houston Texans to the Tennessee Titans.

Let me tell you about how shit works in the league. All right? If you're undrafted or you're a low free agent signing, it's not like, in every. Every league is going to be like this. Everybody's going to be like, everyone's got a fair chance. Don't care. That's not how it works.

If you're fucking a first, I was a first round pick, right? Dude, I got the silver spoon straight up my asshole. Right? First round pick. People are just absolutely taking me down. And I'm getting loved, right? But then you get to camp and the shit gets a little fucking haywire. Now you're everybody's bitch.

But you're going to have your chance to start. It's your job to lose. I didn't do it for my first five games. I didn't have the scratch. I couldn't get it shit done. Obviously things worked out a little bit better towards the end. I have that silver spoon. When David Lee comes over, it's a great story, kid.

It's a great story, but that's it. You know, now it really matters everything else. You don't necessarily get a fair shot. That's how the shit works. You have to do more if you're not a high draft round pick or a high free agency sign. You just got to. If you want to play, you got to do more. David Lee did that.

All right. Now, I worked out with David Lee from the beginning of March in California through the entire offseason. This is March of July. And he took some of my mojo because the knee's gone. David Lee is one of the hardest working individuals I ever met. His whole family is unbelievable. The whole fucking crew, Questonbury family is spectacular. This dude told me he's like, I'm going to play.

He's like, this is going to happen. Something's going to happen, blah, blah, blah. I don't know what's going to, like, I don't know what. But sometimes it happened. I'm going to play about halfway through the year. I said, I can't wait to play with you, dude. Like, I'm fucking stoked. Who knows what he was doing when I wasn't around?

I probably had a cauldron fucking playing some of my pubic here and pop. popping in the fucking thing and then making a voodoo doll out of me and stabbing my knee. Don't know. Don't think David's like that. But the guy's worked his ass off. Now, doesn't make the team. Practice squad. Spoiler alert.

He's not happy. And for good reason, right? The dude worked his ass off. Had a great camp, I thought. I thought he played really well. And when you were back up in the league, it ain't like there's 15 offense alignment, dude. You got like 10 cats.

So you got to be able to play all sorts of ways. Fucking David Lee, practice squad. I end up getting hurt. And I'll tell you what, this shit sucks. I have not liked this at all. I've hated,

I've absolutely hated this situation in my name. I cannot be happier for a guy like David Lee to get an opportunity of the way he has because no one deserves it more. And for him to come in, the entire time Will was on the field, on defense, I would just watch Will. I don't know what he's doing.

I never played linebacker, but I know what the fuck left tackle is doing. Everything I saw from David, like, you don't turn on that. TV and say, oh yeah, it looks like there's four stars on the field and a guy filling in. You turn on that TV and watch them and you're like, holy shit, dude, that's five fucking legit stars in the league. That's the kind of shit David Lee did on Sunday versus the Colts.

Now, we're playing the Browns. You're going to see this on, what, Monday. And you're going to be like, well, you're behind. Listen, this is the fucking the way the shit works. Okay. So just calm down. That man, I'm so happy for him. I'm so proud.

I'm going to hope he keeps it up, right? It's a big test this week. Olivia Vernon and Miles Garrett, they're studs on the outside. They're studs. And I just, I think, I know he's gonna do well

because that's what the dude does, man. He doesn't give a fuck who you are. He's gonna attack you the way he attacked cancer, the way he fucking beat cancer, the way he beat the Colts. But it's Justin,

dude, that dude's a fucking stud. Like, you look at him and you're like, oh, that's weird. Did the statue start moving? Like, he looks like a goddamn Greek god. And fucking handled himself, dude.

Now he wasn't always on him to Buckner wasn't there. I fucking put the fine print in there for you, Blas. Buckner wasn't there. Fucking Autry wasn't there. Yes, they were missing dudes. 2018, I got knocked out in the first game. Jack Conflin still wasn't back from his knee. And Dennis Kelly had a thing that week.

So we were on our fourth and fifth tackles playing in that game. And we beat the Houston Texans. So adversity is fucking all around us, boys. girls and it's just fucking how you handle it and I'm proud to be a part of the Tennessee Titans and how they've handled this shit. Now let me tell you where I'm coming through from now. I'm fucking I, the last three days, like I said, Tuesday, Sunday, Monday, and not today, have been the most miserable three days since I've touring this ACL. All right, Jerry's been out quite a bit. All right, he's sad. And why is he sad? Because his knee hurts. And I sit there,

I'll thank to myself, man, I could do that. I could do this. But then I stand out. And I can't, right? What? What? Come in a day. And that's the thing is I fucking sit there and I just daydream about fucking this block, that cutting that guy off hands inside, perfect punch, those types of things. And I can't.

And it's fucking, it just, it's a mind-blowing to me because I used to watch guys get ACLs. And you're like, fuck, man, you know, that sucks for him. See him next year. Right. And then it's fucking, you're in the blinders. You're in the blinders in the season. So that guy, now that he's gone out of your blind, you don't see him anymore. I'm the guy out of the blinder now.

And it's, it's just, it's made me appreciate football so much more. And it makes me so excited, regardless of what happens the rest of the year, right? Makes me so fucking excited to come back and play in 2021. Because,

fuck man, this team's awesome. The guys are great. The dudes are awesome. We're eight and three. And you know what? Nine and three is not fucking, you could do it.

The Cleveland Browns are good. But damn, we can fucking do that too. And we can just keep on stacking them chips. I don't know how long the season is going to take. But dude, this last three days I've missed football more than I ever have. And it's been really hard. It's been really difficult.

I've been in my feelings a little bit, not quite crying yet. But we're fucking right around that corner, right? We're at the bus stop waiting. I don't know what bus is going to pick me up. But we're fucking right around there. I'll tell you what we're going to do. We may or may not come back to this. I'm not sure.

But we got a fucking great guest coming up. And that's going to be Mr. George Kittle. He is a stud. And he's gone through adversity. this year too. So guess what? Looks like the pods making a little bit of fucking sense, right? You didn't fucking see it at first. But now we're making a little sense.

The score is three to two. We're beating COVID. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we have a fabulous surprise for you. You probably already know because you saw the trailer. It's George Kittle joining us on Busset with the boys, multiple time pro bowler, arguably one of the best tied-ins, the NFL, Travis Kelsey,

and you guys are going at it pretty good. But I'll tell you what, Georgie, I've seen your work ethic. I love the way you get after it. I might give it to you. How are things? I appreciate that introduction. It's much better than anything Will would have done. Much kinder, too.

So I appreciate that. I'm doing great. You know, I'm just hanging out here in California and moving to Arizona tomorrow. Yeah, dude, that's a bit of a situation, isn't it? Yeah,

just a little bit of a situation. But, hey, adversity, man. It builds greatness. So we're just going to attack it one day at a time. We get down to Arizona tomorrow. And we'll be there for the foreseeable future. Where are you staying in Arizona? Are you in a sweet spot like Scottsdale?

Are you in the slums and Chandler or Mace or something like that? We're in Glendale, I believe. That's slummy. I actually don't know. If I go south of Scottsdale, I'm like, I don't know what the fuck I'm at anymore. That's awesome, though. But I'll tell you what, if you're your situation with your foot and everything going on there, you didn't play last week, correct?

No, I did not. And you were talking about, I heard a three week talk in the beginning, which knowing your work ethic, I know it's a big. bit of a deal. But within the playoff contention thing, weighing the pros and cons, you've got to be smarter about your career. Talk to me about your foot. Give me an update on what's going on with you.

You know, my goal's always been six weeks, and I think we're at four right now. And I'll say in the last couple days, the progress has, progress has been great. So definitely very optimistic that will return to play sooner than rather than later.

You think with as far as being optimistic, optimistic on the foot's great, because I didn't need my boy to be healthy and him to be right. But 49ers playoff hopes. Are we optimistic on that and how those things are going? Well, I got a very, very important win in the division, swept the Rams, which is, you know, that's hard to do. Yeah, I wasn't a part of it. I got the first one, but the second one was all in the boys.

But, you know, that was a huge win. We got the bills on Monday night, followed by the Redskins. No, it just, we're definitely in the hunt. And that's what's exciting. you know, definitely a lot different than last year. But, you know, we have every opportunity to be able to sneak into the playoffs. Yeah. Especially we get some going.

You said that one more time. You see this thing to get what going? Just get the momentum going. You know, that was a big win for us. And, I mean, football is all about confidence and momentum, I believe. And so I think the boys are confident. You know, we get one of our watch receivers back in Iuke. So, and Debo just had a great game.

So I think the boys are, they're ready to go again. I'll tell you what. they get their fearless leader back in a couple weeks. That'd be able to make a lot of differences. And Arizona's a nice place this time of year, so it's solid. Yeah, I mean, California is nice too, but we can't stay here. But Arizona will be fun. Arizona will be fun.

It's going to be a good time. You know, I got family down there, some former teammates at I. Did you lose me? I did, but I think I have you back now. That's a situation we're dealing with. We're on the bus, ups and downs, abs and flows. We deal with adversity every single day. That's the theme of the day.

And also the theme of the day for our podcast, which you'll definitely listen to because I know you're an avid listener. We're keeping score on COVID. You guys having to not, can't be playing in your county. That's a point for COVID. COVID's winning that battle. I think it's like four to four now. Three to four, three to four, three to four, three, three, three.

Three, four. So, hey, it's ups and downs everywhere. You said you had teammates in Nebraska and Arizona. Now, I was a part of a very gruesome group chat. And it was hard to be a part of. No one likes shitting on Will Compton more than me. But you absolutely took the poor kid to town on, you guys a situation between Nebraska and Iowa.

call me ridiculous. I didn't know that it was that big of a rivalry, those two teams. It seems like it really hasn't been dominating. Nebraska, Iowa? Yeah. Who. Yeah, it is. It's a great rivalry from, you know, especially when Nebraska got back into the Big Ten.

That was my freshman year that they got back into the Big Ten after leaving the Big Twelve. And, you know, we've got up or down. You know, I think I went three and two against them in my career. The two games I got to really play, and though we definitely whoop the heck out of them, both in Nebraska. That was really fun. But yeah, it's a good rivalry. And, you know, I think when they first came back into the,

end of the Big Ten, they definitely said that we'd have to win some, we'd have to win some games before they considered it a rivalry again. And I hope that six in a row makes it a little bit of a rivalry, at least, you know, for them, because I don't know if it is for us anymore. I feel so bad that Will is not here to absolutely protect himself in this type of situation. But Nebraska is on the Michigan train, right? Kind of steering away. Looking at relevant said,

no, I'm good, taking a right turn. I love you to death. Big brothers at the border. That is fucking hilarious, dude. Oh,

my God. A solid flex, dude. That's unbelievable. Poor Will is not here. If he'll watch this, he'll be upset. Well,

I just thought I would, you know, so Will can't be here today, but definitely his words will be with us today. No question. We'll make sure and play his, his video he let it's a little long we might play like 30 40 seconds of it the parts he hates

the most we'll put those in it i do have a question what's it like having all those iowa boys and the titans uh i you know what i was kind of it was it's it's all right you know some guys are good so it's it's how it is i would say iowa is a school i never truly respected playing but never really beat so there was a weird thing going on for me there for sure did you ever play Yeah, no, we played you guys three times and I lost all three. Hmm. That's something. My Richard, my, my, my retro freshman year was Adrian Claiborne, Carl Klug,

Jeff Daniels, and then there was another guy who, Mike Daniels, excuse me. So that, that defensive line, you can only imagine they did horrible things to us. It was non-consensual. What's, is Michigan doing anything consensual this year? I don't know what's happening with them, dude. as far as like Michigan goes with the it's a bit of a deal dude I think if they move on where are they going to go

because they've wanted horrible since I was there and when they didn't get him he's the Great White Buffalo and now they have it and you know kind of the what you wanted it wasn't as good as what you got right did Michigan Penn State or no no they didn't well you know these answers you follow football like no I I I'm bad of keeping up with college football so I mean I pick in the win and

you want me to do you want me 20 bucks then Taylor. Penn State was, was, has not had one win on the year and then beat them by 10 points. It's just bad. It's just bad at there. I feel bad for those kids. Yeah, it does suck.

It definitely. Losing, yeah, losing just sucks in general. But, you know, when you're, I think there's, I mean, definitely like when you're, when you practice really hard 24, 7, you're just taking a lot of reps and you're losing. That's not a lot of fun. Yeah, you know college, dude. They'll beat those kids. the ground, no problem. Like the only way, the only is what we're losing, because we're not

tougher than we should be. And they fucking just put the pads back on and just keep going, dude. It's so, it's so much. It's a pain in the ass for sure. 9-7 and some blocks drills. And, you know, I think the toughness will make us win the next week. No question. Give three guys concussions. That's how you do it. That's awesome, dude. Who do you guys got this week, Taylor? We are playing the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Browns, 8 and 3. It's going to be a nice little showed out both very good run teams it's it home or what it is a home it's a it's a home it's a home if we win this one it's a in the colts lose we're looking it's looking pretty DCPCs it's

looking kind of like a nice little deal so hopefully things can work out a little bit that's a big one afc who yeah yeah you got to get this one for sure who the Colts playing we don't know I don't know I'll tell you what that's that's an important thing we need to look at her who's winning your division now the Seahawks seehawks yeah that's yeah that I think they're eight and three. Rams are seven and four. Cardinals are six and five and we're five and six. That's tough, man. Have you, now, are you on the NFLPA? Have you heard anything about a season possibly, you know, cut in short and going right into the playoffs?

Because I've heard a couple rumors about that. That's about as much as I've gone. I've heard a couple rumors about it. But, I mean, definitely like, I mean, just like in the last, what, 10 days, like the COVID cases have just exploded everywhere. Yeah. We took yesterday and today We're both mandated days off by the NFL. That's wild to me, all the shit that's going down right now.

Do you, are you for or against shutting down the season? Well, probably very against from a money standpoint and from you want to play the whole season because you want to have an opportunity to get in the playoffs. I mean, I would like to be able to play again. And I know that if we cut the season short right now, I don't know if the Niners would be in the playoffs and that would take me out of playing again.

So I would love the season to keep going. but I definitely, health and safety should be the number one priority. And if guys are continually not being able to stay safe, then I mean, I definitely puts the NFL in a very precarious position. It does. And that was a hell of an answer to you. Literally, you crossed all T's and dotted all eyes on that one. I love that.

I love that about your man of the people on both sides. Yeah, I mean, like, like I said, it's tough. And, you know, at the end of the day, what I'm thankful for is that I just work here and those aren't the decisions that I have to make. Yeah. No doubt. No doubt. Those would be tough decisions for sure because I know a lot of guys, there's some people that are like, hey, screw it, let's go into the playoffs. I know, I mean, for me, just watching, I'm like, hey, please God, play the entire year.

I would love to make my entire salary this year while doing nothing. That would be unbelievable for me. Yeah, it'd be nice. Yes. But as it sits right now, the Titans would be a, would host their own home game in the playoffs. So it's a win-win. There's some more wins for me in some other situations, but right now it's a win-win for everybody. And I could see it going either way.

I'm anxious to hear what that phone call happens after that phone call happens this evening. Are you going to be on that call? There's a phone call this evening. Oh, well, now you know that there's a phone call this evening. The NFLPA is, are you representative? Are you an NFLPA guy? Are you like a pilot? You're not.

That's all. Okay. I thought you would for sure be in that. The kind of guy you are, you seem like you need to be in it, actually. You need to be a guy that is fucking holding the flag and the torch and sending us in the direction we need to go. You're that type of person for me. I don't know if I show some of these other hooplaws running around here. you know what I'm saying? You're the guy. I'm going to try to learn as much as I can from

Sherm and I'm going to let him do it because he's super, super smart and he knows how to be politically correct with all of his answers. He does a great job. Yeah, he does a really good job with that. And he also, he does a great job of speaking for all the players. Like he's not a vet thinking only for vets. All of his decisions and all the thing that he talks about is trying to make the league as best as it possibly can be for everybody that plays. So I'm a huge fan of Sherm when he does that stuff. So I'm going to try to learn from Sherm a little bit here. Um, but, uh, you know, we, we had a couple. We have some great reps in there. And I trust the decisions of our guys for sure. I'm happy. You guys have good reps. Hopefully they make up for ours. Ours is Dennis Kelly.

Love the guy to death. Terrifies me sometimes. Please devil's advocate too much with me. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes I just want you to be on my side, you know, all the time. Just be on my, tell me what I want to hear. You know what I'm saying? That's the kind of guy I am. I want to be told what I want to hear. And he doesn't give it to me. Tell me what I need. Yes, exactly. Absolutely. All right, buddy. Go enjoy your caught. I appreciate it coming on the bus today, bud. I'm actually cleaning my apartment right now because my wife's been out of town for a couple

days. And so, you know, like that situation where you're home alone and you leave the house a mess? Right. Can't do that. No, because if she comes home,

the shit's going to fucking be a hellfire. And you're sitting there playing cod cheetahs on your chest, some payway or no, Pan Express. That's your stuff right there. I appreciate it. You know, if Will's ever gone again,

I would love to just, I'll take a spot. Don't worry about it. Next time you're in town, dude, right here. I'm sitting and we'll seat right now, but you can sit right here. On your lap?

Is that what you just pointed to? You could do either one. Honestly, we'll do anything twice on this bus. Six feet. Six feet. Well, hopefully everyone's saying, you know, the year's almost over. That's going to vanish January 1. So we'll see what happens.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Cool. Cool.
