Episode Date: June 13, 2023

Recorded: June 12th 2023 | On this week's episode, the podcast gods have struck again and we are without a guest. So it is just a good hang with the boys. Will and Taylor immediately get into previewing the Beer Olympics. They have a long discussion of how the format should be, the game to play and how the winner should be decided. Leave in the comments your guys thoughts on how the winner should be decided based off of their conversation. After that they get into the latest in NFL news with DeAndre Hopkins and Dalvin Cook. They react to the possibility of Hopkins becoming a Titan. However the Titans haven’t had the best of luck with veteran wide receivers so the boys talk how they hope that could change. Will and Taylor react to Dalvin Cook getting cut from the Vikings and Saquon holding out during mandatory mini camp. The running back market is always ever changing so it’s tough to decide whether or not to pay a guy. Over the weekend, Will had a bit of a run in with Baby Gronk. So Will gives his final thoughts on the situation and Taylor chimes in as well. The boys end the pod with the weekly staples: Shoutout No Free Shoutout, Pet Peeve and a legendary Tier Talk.

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 helped make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform?

We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman. Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last?

Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, Episode 227 of this podcast is now starting right now, dude. A little bit. A little bit.

Your voice raised. Your voice did raise. You got a little jolt in there? Yeah, my peck, I think, flinched a little bit. I scared my daughter last night, big time. I tell you what never gets scared on the road. And that's the Chevy Silverado. Dude, you know where truck guys threw and through.

And the Chevy Silverado has been a partner with unstoppable grit and determination. It's been our most valuable truck. And now the first ever all electric Silverado joins the franchise. We got to see this thing in action. Let me tell you some. then it is a game changer. Available 400 mile range, GMS made on a full charge.

Wait. 10 feet of length in the bed with the multiflex tailgate combined with a multiflex midgate, large 17 inch diagonal screen display screen. It can tow up to 10,000 pounds of max towing, 0 to 60 and under 4.5 seconds with wow mode. My 40 time.

There it is. Up to an impressive 785 foot pounds of torque. Repeat that one. I want a little bit more enthusiasm. You kind of did it with an exhale. Up to an impressive. Up to an impressive, 785 pounds of torque.

Head over to Chevy.com to learn more. First things on the docket, boys and girls. We might be looking at us and going, what the fuck, dude? We've seen you guys all of May getting double pieces in there, left, right and center. We've got enough of the boys.

We want to see more guests. We want to see more football guys. We fucking tried. We tried our damnedest. That's true, but I think a lot of the OGs out there, They don't mind this. They don't mind it.

Because you see them in the comments. They get noisy in the comments. They're all about it. They're all about letting us to give us some validation. That's the foundation pieces. We've just been stacking over and over like Lincoln Longs. Dude, we are making something beautiful here. Yeah.

However, the podcast gods are trying to take us out a little bit. The podcast gods have been very difficult with this recently. We were supposed to have Delaney Walker on today. Now, Delaney Walker. He's somewhere in the air right now. Who knows? His flights were getting delayed last night. He got the text that.

Like, what was that? Midnight when he said? I'm, it's not looking good, getting rerouted to LA or something like that. I did wake up to a, that was not a good way to wake up. I know. The number one reason why not to check your phone immediately when you wake up. Yeah. Kevin Byard was supposed to, that was supposed to work at one point.

He had a personal thing. He had to drive down to Atlanta for that's getting rescheduled. But that's going to be soon. Jay Cutler, this is, this is kind of a. Which I'm actually glad you said something because. Breaking news? No, maybe we're spilling tea. No, no, this is worth feeling tea.

We're spelling tea, which may turn into breaking news. Yeah. Jay, if you're listening right now, like, let's call Spade. to Spade. You have ghosted us. Ghosted the fuck out of us, buddy. He was all about coming on the pod. All about it. We talked about June 7th.

Locked it in. Yeah, he was all for. Multiple confirmation. He was all for, yes. And I texted him, man, no response. Texted him again. Shot him the eyes on the next day. Or after a good, I think I gave it a good eight, nine hour cushion.

Right. Shot him the eyes, no response. Then I followed. His girl. Right. Yeah. Not his girl, but his like manager. Yeah.

Yeah. And I was like, hey, you heard anything from Jay? And she was like, oh, no, this is, you know, not the, not the, she says kind of his, all right, all right, all right, all right. He's already catching heat right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we, we know he's a fan of the, I know he's a fan of the show. And he's a fan of, like, all the dad content that we talk about. But then I followed up the morning of, like, all right.

Like, boys, because I'm updating the chat, the guys want to know, hey, what time we go? What time we're going? I'm going to let you guys know. I was like, I shot him a text the morning of because I was like, guys, I'm truly, I'm getting ghosted by Jay. Like, he hasn't responded. Deirdra's not. like she hasn't heard nothing either and I sent him to the text

the next morning I said if this has anything to do with 2015 Washington at Chicago when I called out your jailbreak screen and we ended up winning the game I think it's been long enough we can let bycons beat bygones still no response I haven't heard that was with the last text I was probably the dagger though he probably was about to respond

then he had to bring that back up reopened that's a tough one for him that'll be fun to you know when he does when he does I think when he comes I think he will come but I did sub-tweet the boy I reached out to Kristen Cavalari and I did say, is that her name? Yeah. And I said, I get it.

Yeah, yeah, just subliminal. Just subliminal. And then people are like, hey, don't come at Jay like that. And I'm like, if you guys only knew, what the damage you did to us? Yeah. But all to say, it's been, it's a tuss lot here in these podcasts. You're trying to get guests on, trying to book guests, get them. Schedules move.

Schedules change. Flites change, apparently. I'll tell you what the good news is, is mid-end June is going to be, we're going to have more podcast and we know what to do it. Oh, we're about to get in the tight-in you right now. Yeah. We got tied in you coming up, NASCAR, Barce bar opening up.

We got a twisted announcement coming very soon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going to be electric city, dude. It's going to be awesome. We got, obviously, Bureau Olympics was happening. And so that's going to be a fun time. That's a buzz of the town right now. I'm going to be honest.

There's a lot of people come out to me and say, hey, what's going on? Can I get on that? It's not going to happen, brother. I have a list. You've put out, like, you haven't put out a list, but you're saying, like, to get in, you got to be on the list. Yeah, there's going to be legitimate security. This is the Drake.

This is Drake. This is, yeah. We said, we're Drake. We can't be Drake this time. We don't have to be like those guys out there this time. But people are, I will be at the mall. For whatever reason, I'm at the mall. And I'll be stopped.

People asking, can I come? I've left other people on red. I've Jake Cutler to other people. Kind of just goes to them because they're like talking to me. They're also in, hey, let me come to Beer Olympics. I'm like, oh, this is what you wanted. This is the end of that conversation. Yeah.

I have to fucking just get out of there. Get out of my own DM. Yeah. People want to be a part of it. And I get it. is it going to be massive? Yes. Some people are saying

it's bigger than the Super Bowl. Some people. But I'm just, it's going to be a big, it's a big fucking deal. That is going to be a good time though. What do we got?

12 teams right now? 12 teams right? 12 teams locked in. Yeah, there was like a, right towards the end there when we were really finalizing everything. Guys weren't getting back to me.

So I had to reach out to a couple guys to say, hey, get your own teammate. It seems like this guy's not coming. Now we got two guys that are back in. So they became a team. It's a, it's a lot of work,

dude. It's a lot of work getting beer Olympics together, but it's going to be, I think, better than either one of us expect. Can we talk about the layout, the games that are going to be playing? Yeah, we can talk about that. So are we ready to talk about it, though? Because we kind of... I think so. I think we got the games dialed in.

We start off to seed. Yeah, we'll start off to seed. So we're going to figure out where everybody's at from the get-go. We have a three-beer chug. You and your partner will both have three beers. You will drink the beers as fast as possible. Hopefully I'm going to get a d'os. boot situation though, a little tip of the calf, the beer fest.

And then based on your times, you average them. That's how you get seated in the first tournament. That's how you get seated in the first tournament. The next game will be Flip Cup. Now, what we haven't really figured out, though, is how we're giving out points because every single game, there's going to be a receding series. Yeah. First, second, third, fourth, fifth.

Yeah, maybe a top five, you get points. Top five gets points. Obviously, first you get the most points. Five get the least benefit points. If you fall under five, you're not going to get any points. So in the scoreboard now, it'll be kind of like the, like golf, like PGA tour. Like people will be moving, sliding the standings throughout the day.

I'm hoping to get a giant board. We can stick them on, slide them through, whatever you got to do, and then have the PGA sticks where the top three are there. I like to have somebody, I don't know if it's in the back or we just hire someone to stand there with the stick and it's holding the top three people. Gary, each match going on, you just have the guy holding the stick with the four participants. Yeah, that would be elite. I was talking to you because you love golf.

I feel like you're the golf guy. You're the golf guy. What are you having the mic? Yeah, he was going to chime in. What do you say? I don't even think this mic works, does it? That one's on. Yeah, I think that would be great.

I think we can find somebody else there to hold the pole. Oh, I was more saying it in like a humorous way. Like it's honestly not going to happen. It reminds me like happy Gilmore. Yeah, that's what we're going for. That's exactly. Good job. I love that.

I think we're doing Flip Cup. It's going to be a double elimination. No. No, no, no, no. Remember. It will be two out of three. Flip Cup will be two or three. So you go head to head with the other team, obviously, two out of three.

Then after all that. Remember, you get a three. points. You get seated to go on to the next tournament. Next tournament will be beer ball. Your ball. Which is an incredible game. That'll be some good arguing, some, a lot. That'll be a lot of shit talking going on in beer ball. I think at that point, I'm going to be like a beer ball. Yeah, well, you had a big controversial moment last year. Yeah, with, yeah, with Hilliard and, uh, Naquine, Naquan Jones. Yeah. I invited Naquan to come this year. I think he's a little salty because he wasn't invited to be a part of the competition. However, he is invited to witness, be a part of the audience.

people competing in beer Olympics. Now, for those of you don't know, beer ball, those of you who didn't go to college or, you know, didn't have fun playing drinking games with your buddies. Beer ball is, you have a table. You have four beers, one in each corner. You and your partner are,

if you have the ball, you're throwing the ball. If it hits the can, your partner drinks the beer as fast as they can until the other team retrieves the ball and puts it on the table. Once it happens, you must stop drinking. First team to finish their two beers win the entire game.

That will also be a double elimination. I don't believe it'll be best two out of three, though. We'll figure it. Yeah, it's all getting decided, but that's the game. Beer Ball's a game. Now, this is where...

The finale. The finale, which I... You know me, I wanted the chug at the end. I wanted another chug at the end. Yeah, I understand why, yeah. I understand why you would want the chugger in the world sitting right next to me. I think it's hard to continue to play

that you're not one of the fastest chuggers in the world when you're clearly publicly out there chugging fast a lot. No, that's... Those are all half beers. I've been cheated. this whole time. I really can't chug like that. Okay. You are still going to do that.

You are the fastest. I am a very incredibly lightning fast chugger. I would have liked to have that going in because I'm assuming easily we're making Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt. And you put it, puts you in the finale. However, the final games will be and now we're still trying to figure out two out two out of three, you know. I think beer pongy straight go single elimination.

Single elimination. Single limy. Just the final tournament. However, throughout the chugging, the three beer chugs, flip cup and beer ball, that's your final seating going into the big dance. That's the postseason. Yeah, but here's my fear of the whole thing. Let's say you and I are sitting, let's say Shane and Burt are sitting top three

the whole time and they lose the first round of fear pong. It's just over? No, it's not over, but that's zero points. Oh, so it doesn't really matter. Yeah, I mean, because each tournament, right, we're getting points that go into the overall standings. If you're sitting in number one and somebody's within, like within reach, they need you to get out at some point. Like maybe somebody needs you to get zero

And they need to win the whole thing And they get five Here's where I want to get back To having a chug at the end Because let's say someone has just won every single game They get first or every single one They cannot be taken out They don't even have to play beer pong at the end

Yeah they get the shit talk the whole time All the way home Like the little biggies man I like something that's climactic Like this is it This is the end This is for all the marbles right here I feel like that does it

You're just saying like if you're number one And you end up losing in the beer pong you won't be in that final tournament that'll... No, that's the end. After Beer Pong, it's over, right? But ultimately, it's a standings type... What is the word I'm looking for? Like, what are they called?

It's standing. Yeah, I know what you're saying. Like, it's a standings type tournament. It's not a tournament tournament. It's like golf. What do they call that the board? Just a leaderboard. It's a leaderboard tournament.

You know what I'm saying? But they're just finishes. So first place... I said something right there, huh, J.P? What'd you say? Yeah, I just repeated what Garrett said. looked at you and JP goes, hmm. What a gem.

I just think there needs to be like a final race. Like all the marbles, eyes are on the top two, top three teams. It doesn't have to be a chug. You can do something completely different. But does anybody ever... Obviously we had this conversation. After talking about it a little bit more, I'm more convinced than ever there needs to be a finale race.

We could do like an egg toss. Have we changed anything? Everyone's hammered and we're just doing an egg toss? Or a sack race? you guys are getting off track of what we're trying to accomplish here at beer Olympics. Are we, we're still with Will on this. Yeah, on the beer pong, because it gives the arena feel. The arena feel, but if we come into a situation where first place is already taking the cake, it's over.

What's the point of playing beer pong? Well, number one, if there's 12 teams, there's a first round by. So if you're sitting top solo, you're already in the second round. Yeah, but if you're already top solo and you don't even have to play the beer pong, you can literally get last and you're still going to win the whole tournament. What would it matter if it's a different game? the different game you would take the top three teams of all the points so if someone's got 100 points the next team's got 60 points and the other team has 50 points you can literally go and be like okay

these three teams made it to the grand finale of everything now let's have like the final dance the podium makes yeah and the podium has like a final game podium has a final game do you see where i'm coming from on that yeah yeah see where i'm coming from that yeah yeah so did i does that change you guys a thought process at all hear me out hold on i just want to i just want to hear if that, just that in general, change the thought process. Maybe. Okay. That is not helpful at all.

Let's, hey, lean in there and give you no one order. There too. Viewers out there too. Like, drop a comment on the YouTube. Help us decide this. You could very well be over after Flipcup and beerball. Like, they could just be one and then, you know, second place got last. And then they get set.

You know what I'm saying? The numbers might not add up. Where they literally, okay, all I do is play's fifth here and we want it outright. You know what I'm saying? I'm alone here, but I feel like I'm making the most sense. Hang on, hang on. Maybe what if we make this switch? We go,

I like it. We go, here's where it would, here's where it would basically nix a game for the entire group. But if you did chug, beer ball, then beer pong. And the finale is Flipcup, but it's only at the top, however many teams. And whoever it gets to, whoever wins two first wins. Huh? When's the top one? You know what I'm saying?

Like, you ultimately want the entire thing to go down, but then you want the ultimate arena. This is the championship for all the marbles feel at the very end. You can't do that if you're having a moving leaderboard the entire time. At some point, everyone figures it out throughout the season, and then you get seated, and it's winner go home. But in this case, it's still a final number. You know what a playoff situation?

Yeah, but like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but if that's the case, then a couple teams can't even make beer pong. from the way you're saying it. What if... No, no, I'm the final event, I don't know how much I've gone into it, but like if you just take the top two teams at the end of whatever the games are,

and then they play beer pong against each other for the championship. Like, yeah, if... Say we're in the league. Let's say you're hypothetical that you're worse... No, no, just the last... Yeah, just the two teams. So, sincerely, let's say Taylor's worst nightmare comes of life.

We're in the league going into beer pong tournament. We lose round one. out zero points. We happen to be, we happen to fall to number two team after the whole beer pong tournament. Then I think what you're saying, J.P., you take the one and two,

if it's still us, to play a final game of beer pong. Yeah. To decide the entirety of the game. All I want is a championship game at the end. If you want me to corral the entire party and we watch you choke five in a row,

we can do that. No, no, no, no. It's funny joke, but I'm also saying, I want, I've got it. You've really ran that home. I'll put on the referee. Yeah. You're doing a phenomenal draw. We'll stream it. And you're doing a great. It's phenomenal. Everything you just did right there was so great.

However, I'm really just trying to say there needs to be a championship something at the end. I'm with that. Okay. So the top two teams will fight for absolutely not a chug. It'll be something completely different than a chug. Here's why I can do, we can do, I think, I think beer pong is. You do one final game. One final game of beer pong. I'm down with that. Because then you get like the two and three team. That leaves a lot more room for anticipation going into that last round before the championship round.

There just needs to be something that's like, these are the top two teams. This is for all the marbles. The differential of points could be 50. Who fucking knows. I can get on board with that. I'm on board with that. All right. For whatever reason, you got to think about the beer chug.

Well, here's why. Because the beer chug is what you wanted. I think there's zero parody in beer chug. Like, it's like whoever the fastest are, they're going to win. Have you not seen Beer Fest? I've watched Beer Fest. They had a tie. And at the end, what they do?

Well, that's hook the beer. This is a movie. We're talking about a movie. Like, he's not that drunk. Like, you know, pull it up, Jack. Pull off the fucking ending scene of all I'm saying. Like flip cup, beer pong, even beer ball. Like those like level the playing field.

Like, yeah, chugging plays a small part, but you've got to have some skill involved. Yeah. You got some athletic ability. Absolutely. I'm with all of that. That's why I've always played against the beer, the beer truck. Because that was your first recommendation. My man's about to get the eye of the two.

We've seen, we've seen beer. Have we, though? We've seen beer fest. They got a tie and it's such a massive rivalry between Ireland and America or Russia and Germany and America. Germany and America. And the two best chuggers went toes. That's what I'm saying.

So, okay. That's why I was so on chugging the beer chug. Look that. Like last year the tournament. Last year when we did the beer Olympics, it was decided that you had already won and you still made us do the beer chug. Because that was the ending game. We decided that was the ending game. And that's okay.

But it was over. You're the fastest chugger out there. I'm just saying. This is the ending. Beer Olympics is going to be fucking awesome. It's going to be the best. I do like the final finale, the top two that came out of the hunt in points.

They showdown in the best beer game out there, beer palm. Yeah, I suppose so. Let's talk about something that's, let's just pivot real quick. If you're trying to get ready for the beer Olympics and you want to feel yourself out, you go to a dollar show.

I cannot wait. I love it. A lot happened over the weekend. Some NFL news circulating, we got the OTA news, headlines. Dalvin Cook gets released. Saquan Barkley doesn't report the minicamp. DeAndre Hopkins made a visit to Nashville that we'll talk about. And I sent Baby Gronk's dad to the sunken place.

Yeah. So a lot to talk about, a lot to unpack. Where do we want to start? It's knock out that Dalvin Cook, dude. The thing, we were talking about a stats a little bit before. Guy had four 1,000-yard seasons in the last four years. Yeah, he's a stud. 43 touchdowns.

Like, it's pretty ridiculous. Like, Minnesota has the opportunity. They're a team that can go win it all. They can really do it. They have the wide receiving team. The wide receiving core. They have the quarterback. A lot of people don't think they have the quarterback.

They have the quarterback. And Dalvin Cook, like, you're making them one to make. mental unless they have something in the backthroat that we just don't know about. Right. Or they bring somebody else in or who knows what's going to happen. But it's like the argument that's been circulating a lot more, especially recently with all these running backs. Like you got Josh Jacobs not signed his franchise tag. Sequin Barclay not signed in his franchise tag.

This thing happens with Dalvin Cook. And a lot of the arguments that always happen year after year is running backs earn their keep in that first contract. And then the tread on the tire wears off. And teams usually make a bet like after that first contract. contracts over to not necessarily pay them. Like not everybody's Derek Henry. Derek's kind of proving that he's standing in the test of time on popping out almost 2K yards every time if he's not hurt.

Yeah, Derek is, I think there was a stat that came out that he's like the only running back in the last like 10, 15 years that has played better throughout his second contract than he did in his first contract. Yeah. And he's somebody who gets better in the back end of the year too, like somebody who's built for December, built for the playoffs. He's built for the cold weather. He's built for the cold weather.

Border boy. built for the cold weather. Yeah, it's going to be, what I'm curious is if one of these teams, like the Raiders, or even the Giants, right, like just strictly thinking the business side of it, goes after Dalvin and then releases are, or yeah, yeah, yeah, or it goes away from the franchise tag. Not release, but not offer the franchise tag. Like, let them go to the open market. Once they said, hey, we're putting a franchise tag on you.

I think they have to let him do that. he's going to. Well, he hasn't, they haven't signed. Do you really, is that really the thing? I think so. Now, I might be speaking out of pocket here, but I think when you do the franchise tag, when a team says we're putting a franchise tag on you, it's up to the player then to sign the franchise tag. They cannot play, but I don't think they can necessarily get out of it. I don't think the team can go, okay, fine, fuck it. We're not doing a franchise tag. We're not paying you. You're not a free agent. I don't think that works like that. But, man, I'll be curious.

I'm curious. What was, was making, supposed to make this next year. Here you go. Cook was set to make 10.4 million in base salary in 2003. Got you. That sounds better. Just need somebody for $2 million. Just a little update. A little update. A little update. That's crazy. I don't know.

I don't know what the Vikings are thinking. They must have something that we just don't know about. Or the thing about going to get somebody. Maybe they trade for a Sequin Barkland. Maybe they trade for a Josh Jacobs. But for me, it's like, dude, what is, I guess the next thing you'd have to look at is what is their salary cap? issue after this. Like, is there a reason? They cleared $9 million, so they still ate a million dollars in cap. And they probably think that they can go get a running back that can do just as well

or within the range that they'd like to see for cheaper. Did they draft running back? Which, yeah, and he's solid. He's nice. Madison's nice. He's not Dalvin Cook. He's still nice, though. Like, he's still good.

They brought Alexander Madison. Right, right. And who knows how Madison will do with more or more of a workload? But again, that's always the argument of running backs, man. It's like, do you want to pay north of $9, $10 million for running back when you feel like you could get whether or not they say it's same production, but right, for cheaper? The thing that sucks is that the running back market is in such a shitty position right now

because it is so true that you just look at the stats over and over again. It's like guys just don't do well after like year six, things just fucking fall apart. Give them the totes, giving the rocks that many times. Like it's a fucking hard deal. You guys take a lot of hits and they just get slower and slower. You see it with every single person. Right. So they've all they've talked to like there's always been a rumor every year about running backs.

You know, rumors and talks of them wanting to unionize and having their own CBA and being outside of the, the, yeah, collective players one that we already have for everybody. Just because their position. Yeah. Right. Because their position is, you know, they, over the years, they've trended down when it comes to paying running backs. And Dauvin is such a. receiving threat as well. Such a receiving threat.

I'm really curious about this non-franchise, this franchise tag thing if you can take it back. Yeah. I wonder how you even look. I wonder if guys like Debo Samuel and all them are hurting the running back market because they're a good fucking point. Say that again, JP.

If guys like Debo Samuel are hurting the running back market because he's getting the ball from so many different spots, he's playing running back sometimes, he's playing quarterback, he's playing receiver. It's kind of like we don't really need running back as much if we have a guy like Debo. Who are you going to do that? Who else does that, though?

Like Cordero Patterson would be one of them. Mara does it? Tomorrow. Tomorrow. It is a unique little like... I mean, there's a few of them right now, but I feel like they're going to start to be more. Yeah, Taseom Hill, his contract was all fucking weird, man.

That was just a weird, weird, weird deal. That's such an odd thing. I wonder, um... Because they're still... They have such an opportunity to win. They haven't paid Justin Jefferson yet. They cut Adam Feelein earlier this year. That's a guy.

DJ Hockinson? Yeah, they have Hawkinson. But they paid him, right? He's paid. Poor Jack's over here looking up six things at once. Was there in his keep? Working right now. All right, so the exclusive tag,

under the designation, the player cannot negotiate with other teams. However, the price is higher. Under the exclusive franchise tag, the one your salary for the player is either the average of the top five salaries of the player's position. You kind of knew that one by using a player could still end up playing for a different team during the season,

but only via a trade. Only via a trade. Seems like the key little phrase there. Yeah. Yeah. Type in Josh Jacobs. Josh Jacobs, Dalvin Cook. Why?

Because there could be, uh, would the Raiders, yeah, would the Raiders rescind Josh Jacobs franchise tag and sign? Dalvin Cook. So this is per pro football talk, PFT. Under the rules of the CBA, the Raiders use the franchise tag to keep running back

Josh Jacobs in place for at least another season at $10.1 million. The Raiders also could, under those same rules, rescind the franchise tag. The question is, would they, if Jacobs won't accept their best offer on a long-term deal, the deadline for that is July 17th, as we all have said, it would make sense to consider their options, and they could, in theory, pursue Dalvin Cook,

a potential replacement for Jacobs. Can they get out of the fresh? They just said, yeah, they could rescind it. They could rescind the tag. So that would make it interesting because I know Josh just came out and talked about it's, you know, the positioning he's going is he's wanting to get a long-term deal done in his favor, obviously. The reason he won't sign right now is because in his, I want to say he has said it's bigger than him. It's more about just him as a running back.

he's trying to help the running back market, which I think a lot of guys are doing. I want to say Sequan's doing that. What was the recent headline on Sequan? He hasn't participated in any of the OTAs or anything yet. Yeah, he missed mandatory minicamp, right? Which is per the new CBA is an automatic fine. They can't rescind the fine.

The team can't. Like, that stays. Let's say $80,000 fine. What's the fine per day that you miss? I don't know that per day. I think, like, when I miss mandatory minicamp, it was $90,000. They just...

Altogether. For those three days. So whatever that is. So $30,000 a day? I know. I went to John Robbins' office too and I was like, hey. Was he right after that year?

And I was like, you might if I get some of that back? And he's like, it's a precedent. We have to set for everybody else. No. And I end up talking to him more and he's like, we'll give you $5,000. Jack, what's the paragraph right up above that?

The first thing... Right. So when you're looking at this Seekwon-Barkley article courtesy of... NFL.com? Yeah, NFL.com. The first thing that comes to mind. when a player suggests he might sit out is Levy on Bell when he did it back when he was on the Steelers.

He skipped the 2018 season during a contract negotiation. Bell got paid by the Jets the following year before he quickly washed out of the NFL, never the same back as he was before skipping a year. Bell has since said he regrets of the decision. So they obviously brought that up to Seekwon. And Seekwon had talked about, he said, I think when you sit back and you look at it, there's obviously there's a situation where it happened with Leveon. on and some people say it didn't work out for him or whatever, I think I would have to sit down and actually go through that whole process and think about that whole process when that situation comes up if it comes up. For me, it's like you got until July 27th. They could say what they want. We can say what we want. At the end of the day, I can focus on, I can only focus on the little things and I can focus on the moment. And I think I've been vocal before to you guys that I'm the type of guy that just lives in the now, just one day at a time, one day at a time. Now, if that day comes up and I have to sit down and have to sit down and have to sit down and,

have that conversation, then I would sit down and have that conversation. We'll see what's the best plan for me to do. I personally think with Sequin, the Giants, that something will get done. Maybe not as friendly as he'd like, but I think that's something they want to get done. It all depends on what he's willing to give up, though. Right, right. The key thing is, it's not as friendly as he would like. And if he's sitting there and he thinks he deserves all that, which a guy like Seekwon does, right, has an ACL in the year two, comes back. We don't know the next year after that. Two years in a row. Bald last year. Right. came back, did what he was supposed to do when he was coming out of Penn State.

Now it's like, all right, do you take the risk to pay that guy? And when truly he was a foundational piece of bringing the Giants back to a playoff attending team. Yeah, Sequan's a stud, man. I mean, he can line up outside at the one spot as a receiver. Which is why. Yeah, and be in the back field, but he's a stud. I know that there's like something that every player, I feel like they go through,

like when they're going through big contract negotiations is a lot of the misleading reports that always leak out about the player because the, front office and everybody, the front office has direct lines with the media, right? Yeah. So in the media's writing reports, they're going to write it in ways that it seems like the player is sitting out, they're holding out, they're doing things. They're like, hey, they're not talking us. They make it seem like it's more the player versus the team.

And I know, like, Seekwon, he was talking about, he's like, I would like to address that. I feel like there's been some things out there that's been misleading. You know, obviously the sources or the stories that have been out there, but I've been public. I came out public and I've been open about it. I want to be a giant for life. This is where I want to be.

And at the end of the day, it's all about respect. That's really what it is. Did you ever go through anything like that when you were going through your negotiations? No. Like any reporting, say P.K. or anybody writing articles that made it seem like Taylor's, you know, holding out or not showing face. There was a bunch of backlash when I held out for a mandatory mini camp. But it really was, you know, they're trying to figure it out.

We think it'll get done. blah, blah, blah, blah. That type of thing. Now, I'm office alignment, especially left tackles are in a much different situation than running back certain because they, we've been, we as a culture or a group have been proven, we get better as we get older in a lot of ways. More savvy, more technical, those types of things. So there wasn't a big, a lot of, like, thought of risk of what's going to happen if you pay me. And so the whole thing for me is way different than the running back market.

Sitting out, there was definitely a bunch of articles that came out, nothing that I can, like, truly put my finger on that I remember, like, being, feeling slided by. But I remember talking to my agents and they're like, hey, when you sit out, this is what's going to happen. the Titans are going to release. Hey, we offered this guy this amount of money. We're going to tell him. We're going to tell them that, you know, he's leaving all this on the table. We're doing our part. He's not doing his part, that type of thing.

And you've got to be able to be okay with that type of stuff. And know that, yeah, and just understand that it's going to happen because it is part of the game. Yeah, it's part of the game. But you also got to figure out, like, what's best for you? I remember when I was in the contract negotiations, and we recently became friends. It was very, we were very fresh in our friendship. You were telling me you should hold out for guaranteed money. well, he goes, you should get a fully guaranteed contract.

And I'm like, well, that's got to happen to the quarterbacks first. Kirk Cousins did it. And then after that... I'd point the finger, too, in your position. You put the finger at me? No, I'm saying if I was you, I'd be like somebody else has to do it first. Yeah. Could have been a lot of strength in being the pioneer, the trailblazer.

We can be trailblazers and other things. We're doing it right now. Trim the five years down the three take fully guaranteed, maybe take a little bit less ceiling for that guarantee to set an example. I got what I needed. Yeah, right. I'll let the other boys fight that out. Yeah. Now you can become like, hey, this is what we need to happen.

You guys need to do this. Market change. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to see this market change? Which is wild because the money is higher than it's ever been, ever been.

Do you ever when it was a big thing for players when they were signing into the NFL for them to get all their signing bonus in Bitcoin?

Yeah, whatever happened to that? I don't know. Trevor Lawrence did it. I believe, I believe, Sequin was another one that actually did that as well. Odell did it as well. Odell did it as well. Tom Brady did it. Tom Brady was doing the FTX commercials.

The FTX had absolutely tanked and went through all that. Oh, for real? Yeah. Yeah. I mean. No, I didn't know about the FTX. I'm not as well versed in cryptocurrency as probably the next individual, but...

I'm pretty sure I just drink an old, very old. Oh, I know. An old coffee. I see you giving a shout out over there, too. I want to turn that up a little bit. I'm in a... How do you feel right now? I'm in a haze right now.

I'm pretty shook about that. Been in a blender. I mean, that's fucking wild. The aftertaste is there, too. That's fucking disgusting. I wonder where they fucking got the financial advice to put their money in Bitcoin. Now, it seems like it's worked out.

Like last year was way down. Now, Bitcoin's coming back up. Right. Oh, it didn't work out for Tom Brady's part. FTX, yeah. I don't know about the FTX thing, but I know that the bigger ones, that Dogecoin and Bitcoin and all them.

I was in some Dogecoin for a minute. Oh. Lost a little bit. Lost a little bit. That's down 63 points today, Bitcoin. Bitcoin, dude, I remember when it was, for me, it was hot during 2016, 2017. That's when it became huge.

Because I remember 2014. Because I think it was around before that even, too. Yeah, it was before. that, but 2014, I remember I was at a place doing cryotherapy over by my old house when we first met and someone's like, hey, you got to get in this Bitcoin thing.

Get in this Bitcoin thing. And I called my finances and I was like, do you, should we feel like, you know, $100,000 at this thing? Or what do we do? And he's like, now, now's not the time. And then two years later, it's like massive. They're like, if you would have put $100 in, you made $100,000 in Bitcoin. I'm like, God damn, bro.

Bro. That's some crazy money out there. Yeah, man. I don't understand this. how you take the Bitcoin, you're like, okay, you want to sell? Do you get cash back? Or do you like, like, I know when that was a, when, I mean, I would assume it's still a movement, I guess. But when that whole thing was hot, everybody was talking about, no, you buy and hold because that's ultimately going to become the new currency. Yeah, but now they're talking about the government, government making a whole new, like, electronic currency and all that. And then that's going to shut down Bitcoin and all that. I don't do hypotheticals.

There were those old ones, those, not old ones, but there was like, pretty sure Dogecoin was one of them, where it was like selling when it first started. What? Right? Yeah, but it was as a joke as that they started. But it was selling it like...

It's a shit coin. Like 0.00 of a penny or something like that. Yeah, and if it moved over like two decimals, you're making whatever, two zeros more than the money you put in. And the whole thing was, is like if that goes up and you want to sell,

there's no like real money to actually give you your money back. So you're kind of just in it no matter what. Isn't that kind of what happened with FTCX, right? They didn't have... All I know is that dude, the owner of it, was just like lying like crazy. Yeah. Lying to the investors. And then all of a sudden, I think it caught up to him.

And he's like, massive scam. Yeah. Damn. Them scams on there. Whatever, bro. Boys out there getting stamed. You got to hide all them commercials going with the athletes being involved. Damn.

Yeah. FTC's collapsed in early November 22. The Staples Center, wasn't the Staple Center named after it, like, became the FTX? Yeah. But was it FTCX? One of them was Let's see Yeah, and in November of 2020

They faced the liquidity crisis And search for bailout funds Yeah, did not end up well I had, I had I don't know if I used FTX, I can't remember I used a couple different ones Coinbase, that was back in like

2017 to 16, 2017 because I remember Kirk That was when they had a Netflix documentary come out on it like what is bitcoin who's the mastermind behind it they couldn't figure out who it was uh we had i forget who it was but he came in the locker room just spouted off how he had made millions and he don't need this he didn't need football anymore there was always the people too my brother being one of them that was like you know now when a bitcoin made his jump in like 2021 or whatever yeah he's like oh dude i don't remember my uh my password to my account and yeah there's like

$5 million that would be my, like, and I'm on my last password try. And half of them, I feel like are lying. The other half I'm like, dang, imagine being in that group. Because the Bitcoin's one, that's like the most stable one. Like that's, like, what was that? $27,000. Yeah, it's solid. Like $22.

It's high as in the six figures. I know that. Yeah. I was back in when it was like, to the moon, bro. And everybody's talking about how it's all transitioning to that space. Like during when it was COVID, everybody was locked in their homes. Yeah. I remember being on like Zoom calls.

people were kind of breaking it down and talking about it. Here's how you do it. They're starting to teach you about the value of a dollar and how this is basically going to be the next dollar. All that shit, man. Lita coin. People were doing contracts. It might still be.

It was like real estate. Like each coin meant something different, like a different contract that was happening, digital contract that was happening. Gary. Yeah. It was insane. It kind of freaks me out a little bit. The idea of like actual, just the dollar being gone.

Yeah. It's just being all digital. I just don't feel like the dollar can leave. I just don't. What are you? It's one thing about me. I'm going to find that next comma. No matter where it is.

Come on. I'm going to find that next comma, dude. Someone else is finding the next comma, DeAndre Hopkins in Nashville, Tennessee. Yes. Put himself out a little story, too. It looked like he was in a nice spinner van. Willampton did talk about how Raiblet took him down Broadway in 2018 when he was

trying to figure out if he was going to be a Titan or not. Did you get the cool sprinter van like that? No. No, we're talking very personal. He's like, yo, hop in. You can have shotgun. I was like, really he gave the front seat. Yeah, he gave me the front seat.

Every time I've driven with Rable, he's always going to be sitting back metal. So that's really nice of him to do for you. He was driving around. You know, he had a lip in, and he was just, the predators were in the middle of the playoffs, and he was just pitching how Rowdy Broadway got. He's basically taking me around like I was a college recruit. Really? Yeah, we were just talking shop, talking wrestling.

You know, we have the same agent, so we were talking Neil's stories. But, yeah, and then we had a nice little breakfast in the lobby. He had the hotel at the time. Yeah. Nice little spread. I think I had Cheerios. He had Frosted Flakes. He had Frosted Flakes?

Yeah, yeah. He's a Frosted Flakes guy. Like that's getting a little thicker. We know. But we had a good time. When he met Coach Dean P's, he, Dean took me to the Southern. Oh, yeah?

Steakouts the night before. Nice. Yeah, the night before. That is a nice old. They roll out the red carpet for you, huh? They rolled out the red carpet. I was a high priority. High priority and that's what?

Foundational peace to get the voice of the playoffs like, you know, in the future. Not that first year. I never promised year one, but eventually it usually goes that way. Great things take time. Yeah, great things take time. Do you think, boys in the back, now, we already went through a Julio Jones situation a couple years ago. Technically, the Titans are still paying Julio Jones $8.6 million this year.

And he hasn't been on the team for what will be the second year in a row. Do you think that scares the Titans away at all of getting a veteran wide receiver like this? Or do we feel a little more comfortable because Vrable was with DeAndre in Houston. And now it's like, hey, this guy hasn't shown the type of stuff. talking to Jack, I'm talking to Garrett mostly YouTube. I think you guys are big Titan fans. I don't know. I mean, as a Titans fan, I'd love D-Hop to come

because we have a very limited amount of receivers right now. But notoriously, the Titans are where veteran receivers come to die. True. Randy Moss, Andre Johnson. I don't know how to feel about it. But I mean, again, at the end of the day, as a Titans fan, we need them. I would love them. But, yeah, for his sake.

For his sake. I don't know. I just don't, I don't have an opinion on it. I don't, right. I would love him as a Titans fan to be here. And I hope it works out.

Do you think you pay him premium money? Or do you not paying him premium money? Say, hey, you got to prove it for the boys. Probably not premium money because we just saw what happened with Julio. You just said it.

We're still paying him millions of dollars. And he hasn't made a catch in over 20 months. That boy put on the ski mask here in Tennessee. He put that ski mask on, bro. Yeah. When when Julio Jones got to the Titans, I was like, I was so fired up.

Like, I saw him in the equipment. room with the boys, he's putting his helmet on, get everything going. We're in the training room. And I'm like, he wasn't practicing. I was like, oh, bro, you don't practice? He was, man, I don't need to practice. I do that shit in games.

You've seen. I'm like, yeah, I have seen. Yeah, you are going to do shit. The way he was talking, I was like, yo, legit, we got Julio Jones. And the way he was talking, I was like, man, this dude is still him. He really is. And he, unfortunately, was not. Soft tish.

Soft tish guy. Soft tish will get you. Soft tish. Now, Hopps had a couple of deals here in there, too. Right? he was hurt last year or something like that. I think he played nine games last year and had... He was suspended.

For what? Ostrande? Yeah. Hey, it's the best of us. I fully support DeAndre Hopkins. You know, his are boner pills.

He had them gas station boner pills in his system because you can pop for those too. Oh, yeah, the horny goat. Yeah, I've heard he is the horny goat. I've heard he's the horny goat. I think we've seen he's the horny goat, right? There was a video that popped up a while ago, right?

Is he the horny goat over his eye on? No, Zion's number one Horniest goat right now But I think there was Horniest goat We might be talking about Old Boy in Cleveland DeShahn

Yeah, that's a resume Yeah, that's a resume right there The Tiers, horniest athletes of all time Yeah Yeah, Miss Roger Watson I don't know man I think

I personally think That they've done this experiment before And it hasn't worked out With the veterans Whether it's clowny Whether it's Vic Beasley Julio Jones

I knew Vic was not be him the minute they signed him. Bro, Vic Beasley. What a fucking year. Funny dude. And that man broke in three quarters. I was like, oh, he is not. Bro, I remember my first day.

Because remember, that was the year where I got signed. And I was like, guess what? I was like, they're signing me. Like, I'm coming back on the Titans. And my first day there was when all of the... Oh, this is 2020. Yeah, 2020. This is when all the social justice stuff was going on.

And teams were basically sitting out of practice. and doing it and like, you know, arm and arm, like, let's not practice today. Let's get out on the streets and stuff like that. Do you remember that meeting? That's my first day back in Tennessee. Yeah. And I remember sitting there, and I didn't know who Vic was. Like, I knew Vic Beasley, but I didn't know that was him with, like, the massive fro and

everything else. He chimes in from the back and says, like, you know, I think, and apparently somebody who never spoken up because he had the hole where he sat out for like two weeks in training camp and nobody could find where he was and this and that. And he says like, oh, I was trying to get my truck towed to Tennessee and came in out of shape with cramps, got hurt, was sitting out everything. It was just an abomination of a signing. And he apparently, or he chimes in from the back and says, like, I think we need to sit out the entire season.

I remember players being like, yo, what the fuck is this dude talking about? Like, you haven't even practiced, like, at least get on the field and do something and gain some respect before anybody like listens to him chiming in and be like, we need to hold out and not play the entire season. That was my Big Beasley store. Funny cat, apparently he had like a puppy, and you just had the puppy sitting in the... In the truck, in the middle of August. Yeah, in the middle of August in Tennessee.

His truck, too, was a duly truck with a flatbed. It was like a work truck. And he would just pull up to my deal. What are you doing with the thing? We just chirp him every day. Like, hey, who'd you go tow before you showed up here and stuff like that? Like, again, funny dude, but... Was that you that was sitting in the elevator with him before a game?

They almost were late to the game because the elevator broke? No, no. So there was somebody in there in the elevator with Vic Beasley before a game. And the elevator like shut down and then like an hour went by and the elevator started back up and he was pissed off apparently.

And he was like, man, I'm trying to see and see. Killing collect. Oh, I believe that. I fucking believe that, man. He definitely had that vibe. Like I said, we played him in 2015 and he was like the sixth overall pick or something like that.

And he came in the first quarter he was talking a lot of fucking shit, a lot of shit. And by the third quarter, he was like literally just stopped talking. He was quitting. It's non-existent. Non-existent.

And then when we signed him, I'm like, damn, bro, this dude ain't the guy. Because I think he just had what? Like tendonitis? That's why he was sitting out? Yeah, he'd always do this swivel thing with his knees. He would always, like, do you remember he would do that? Yeah, yeah. He would move his knees around.

I never really saw him dead, but the boys were always chirping him about it. You sell it with tendonitis. That shit is weak. I mean, 10itis hurts, but, bro, you got to play. Oh, I'm saying you might get, depending on how bad it is because it can act up differently for everybody. But you get a couple days, a few days, but, bro, Pierragone had bad. bad tendonitis and that dude would be out there fucking everyday dog being a dog in practice.

And I'm talking he'd spend all day long in the training room before and after just talk about his tendonitis. Really? Eating his tendonitis. But he'd be out there getting it. Like that's again, not everybody's built like that. Like Pierrot's son was a fucking dog. But yeah, my man set out for, I think the entire training came, but then a few weeks into the season

before he came back. Because they find him. And Vic said, I'm going to get my money back. I'm going to get my money back. by missing games before I go back out on the field. Like, let's just say his fine was, I'm just saying some shit right now. Just a random number. Let's just say his fine was $50,000.

He was going to sit in his mind, he was going to sit out the first, however many weeks it was, until he felt like he got that $50,000 back. Like he got his from the team. Gotta respect it a little bit. When you're in the cold tub and the hot tub hearing that, you're just like, man. There's a little bit of envy, but also like, what a fucking pussy. but also like, ah, it's nice to have that kind of juice, I guess, but, yo, we're trying to fucking win.

He really didn't have the juice like that because he played one year, and they went to the Raiders for a year. Yeah, I'm in the XFL now. He's playing still? Yeah, for the Vipers. There's not a lot of people that come to mind that I thought hated football more than that man. Right.

And that you're playing. He just hated ball. Going back to DeAndre Hopkins real quick, I think it'd be obviously be a huge signing for the Titans. I think if you get him, you're taking more pressure off that eight-man box that they're putting on everybody

just playing man out there because at the end of the day D'Hawkins is DeAndre Hopkins his catch radius is stupid let's say you know he does twice as much more than Julio Joneses

which still isn't a whole lot it's gonna help the Titans offense so much know that there is a threat out there like a DeHondry Hopkins a name out there where guys are like hey we got a watch

just fucking dude yeah yeah make sure he's good maybe put a safety over there for the first couple of games just to make sure this dude doesn't fuck us up yeah it helps with Burks

too, like taking the pressure of Berks. And again, they do have a thin room. He'd come in and be like the number one, number one, number two, wide receiver immediately. So that makes it a nice deal for the Titans. Yeah, it gives him a chance to breathe in your tomb. All right, let me get a thousand yards season. Let me become like the dude everybody wants me to be. Right, right.

Because, again, it's like, you know, the Titans, they want guys who want to be here. They always want that like, hey, like, they want you to be a fucking Titan, which respect to that. And it's like the experiment with the vets, especially with guys who kind of have this history of, you know, not being a diva, but being a diva. You know, the track record's not the best. And it sucks that he's getting measured up. And compared to Julio Jones, like, that's a tough measuring stick to have going into it. Right.

And if Julio didn't happen, I think everyone's seeing from the rooftops. We need to sign the Andre Hopkins. And his nine games played last year, he had 64 receptions, 717 yards, and three touchdowns. Yeah, he's got to get signed. You've got to sign him, bro. you got to. 96 targets. Give Traylin

just a little bit of a cushion, bro, because that's a lot of responsibility to be going into year two. Everyone's like, hey, you're the fucking guy now. Yeah.

And, you know, and Traylin started coming along was a season before he started getting turf toe and all that or whatever. But obviously, an abysmal start for Trey. Like, we were at OTA's man had like asthma or some shit.

And he was out of shape. He was like, it was a tough thing to watch. And then he just got better and better. Dude, you just give him a chance to be great on his own without all the pressure. Yeah.

Hey, and not on the thing about, Colt would tell me, because Colt Murray went down, Colt McCoy would come in as a starter. And he said, bro, and he said, DeAndre would just come over and be, hey, what are you doing? Throw me the ball. No shit. He said he would run sometimes his own routes.

But he said, like, within the confines, like of the system, like within the play. Yeah. And he would just fucking throw it to him. And he'd always make plays. And he'd like, see, I'm telling you, like, just feed me the rock. And he just had juice like that. I'm fully on.

Yeah. He's the bad, man, you got to throw the new. No, you don't want to say that to two Lattigans around Will. Yeah, I can't. You don't want to say that. Will is a big D. Hall guy. D. Hall is my fucking guy. But his soul got snatched.

And some say his career got snatched the day that DeAndre Hopkins. I don't start nothing. I just finish it. He said that shit. That's tough, bro. That's fucking hard. That was before Deandre Hopkins was DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Because I gave him the, I gave him. the handshake where I moved my hand and said nuts. And so he just looked at me like he wanted to fight me. And I was like, oh, shit. No jokes, no jokes. His hands are five-x glove hands. Yeah.

Just kidding, brother. I hate good catch out there. Nuts. And one of my boys was to hype me up. He's like, oh, you got his ass? And he just, like, staring me down. I was like, damn, man, I'm just kidding. Yeah.

And everybody about that joke, those jokes. No, I know. That was when you guys had a massive fight too, huh? Massive fight. Who started that? Okay. Dude, I think so Ben Jones was on the Texans then, right?

Yeah, I would love to hear what his side was. I will say that Chris Baker was being a fuck to him. He was one of our D-Lignment. A lot of shit talking going on when it was nine on seven, right? And I want to say it might have been day two of practice and guys were just kind of fed up, especially on the line of scrimmage. And my boy, Adam Hayward, who was a linebacker

and somebody who was like, he was just waiting on an opportunity to fight somebody. but they caught one and on that field it fucking went down and then both fields. The other field ended up seeing it and then they started swinging. Well, who's big dog?

Vince Wilfork. He took the center. Reaches back in his ancestry and comes fucking flying and almost connects with Niles Paul. I'm talking both feet off the ground tries throwing a massive Superman punch. Mrs. Just misses and Alice Paul

you saw that one on tape and literally he might have fucking killed him. Massive man just looking for a reason to fight. Jay Grun went in there and afterwards we had the meeting where he was like broken up. I want to say that's when we ended practice. It was all done. This is also the best, dude. When I stopped practice, you're like, yeah, let's fucking go.

It's low-key what players are looking for. Yeah. Dude, I heard, so Ben Jones told me that you guys kind of bullied the Texans the day before. Like, y'all got the better room that day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Bill O'Brien was in a team meeting at the hotel the next day because they were practicing with y'all at your spot, right? Bill O'Brien's like, now I'm not telling anybody to fight. But if somebody starts some shit, y'all better fucking finish it, that type of thing.

Yeah. And Ben was like the minute we went out there, we knew this practice was going to be 25 minutes tops. Yeah, man, it was, we did have the upper hand on him that first day for sure. Not only that, but we had this backup full back who shouldn't, I mean, obviously no one should be fucking doing that. But he's out there trying to, he threw a cut on somebody and seven on seven. God damn. Seven on seven. You don't do a cut in practice in general, let alone seven on seven.

And that fired people up. Obviously, there's a target on his back. They're one to dummy. And I want to say the majority of our team was like, yeah, yeah. I mean, he was kind of a fuck. He was kind of a fuck. Like, yeah, you guys can have him. Dude, fullbacks are always kind of like that.

But the second day, even in seven-on-seven, somebody came out of nowhere, I want to say a DB on Houston, and licked one of our running backs on the sideline. Like, again, in seven-on-seven. And you could tell he was starting to fester up, and then that big fight happened. Jay Gruden ends up getting wapped in the face. Vince Wolf-Fort flies off.

You know, Vince Wolf-Whorke taking the Redskins center and pushing him back past the quarterback and just kept driving him into the ground. I believe that. We did his practice, and we were like, Oh, shit. Those of you who think, oh, this team's practicing against another team, what great work for the team?

That is, by far and away, harder than any fucking game, any kind of two-a-day practice. It is truly the biggest bloodbath. When you know you're practicing against another team, you're like, boys, just buckle up and stay safe out there. Because it is a fucking... It is a fucking bloodbath. Yeah, especially on day one.

Dude, tell you what, dude, when you're leaving that area after a big fight, and you need to get back, the buses probably aren't ready. You need yourself a vehicle to get, and you're going to have to get Toro, dude. Turro. Okay, Turro. Let me tell you something about them. It is the world's largest car sharing marketplace.

With Turro, you can book any car you want for just about any occasion. From community to local, dude, I really, I swear to God. A community, a local host across the U.S. I got it. Local hosts across the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia. Book an SUV for a road chip, something easy and affordable of getting around on vacation or test drive and EV. You can test drive.

drive and EV. You can even get a vintage car or something classy for a special event or a photo shoot. Every trip is backed by liability insurance, terms, and conditions and exclusions apply. Find your drive. Forget the boring rental cars at Toro.com. Toro. You like it a lot, Will, right? I love tarot.com. You use that little piece, right? I've used it before. Yeah, yeah. Like on last week's episode, I used it going down to Florida for a family trip.

again 30A, a lot like Italy, we got to experience it in our, in our Chevy. He said that again at the farmers market on Saturday. He just kind of reminds me of Italy, huh? We're in Franklin for a farmer's market. But yeah, I'm all in on DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah. This whole conversation got me all in. I talked about, especially the, uh...

Give me the ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just don't want the motherfucker to, like, get hurt. Yeah, but I feel like... It's the risk you take, right? risk you take everyone can get hurt yeah you're right you're right you're right just what happens dude i just want to work out for the boys but dude o t a i just want the free agent sign to work out for the boys man yeah you want to get them get that monkey off their back yeah yeah because you know if you're like

if i'm if i'm if i was rape i'd be sitting there like all right we're looking at sign of this man he has history i don't know what his history is with uh i'm saying like i don't know what their personal relationship was or anything like that like what rave thought of the product and everything else. But you know, Vrae's probably sitting there like, man, if this one doesn't fucking work out, I don't be so pissed off. Like, we go off to these free agent signings that could be splash plays and

good signings that should work out and they just don't. It's got to be just frustrating. And now, you're looking at another one that makes sense because you do need a number one, number two-wide receiver. DeAndre's out there, and it's like, you want it to work out. So, I just want the best

to the boys. Another guy not to sleep on is Kyle Phillips. He had six catches for 66 yards. Two great part returns against the Giants last year. Then he ended up getting that LAC joint or whatever. Kid is a baller. He's a baller. He's just small. He's got the hairline to be a solid slot white wide receiver. Like a hunter Renfro. Yeah, exactly. I'm telling you that kid is, he's good. He's just got to stay healthy. He does. He's small. He's small. And he's really like that too. He's got that little attitude on him. Yeah. Like I feel like you've got to have some of that sauce. He's got to have a undersized cat at his skill position. Yeah. But man. Oetis is over for the

boys. I think they did, they did mandatory minicamp last week and then this week, they're done Wednesday. Oh, really? Yeah, they're done Wednesday out of that. I think they have Tuesday, Wednesday, and they're done. Dude, OTAs is the best, bro. It really is. Remember when we got to play the sword game? Yeah. That's probably my favorite OTAs. We ever had. Man, maybe. There's a, I had a good one in Washington where we just had this core group. We'd always hit the golf course and we'd have front nice competition going nice little ride. We'd be talking shit. We sucked at golf and we just argue every day about getting back on the golf course and and chirping each other.

However, the OTAs with the Titans in 2018, one of the best of all time. We played a game. We've talked about in this podcast before, but like the facility was the safe zone, but we had these foam swords. And if you got it on film of you touching another player with the foam swords, they're dead, they're done. Games over for them. For the rest of OTAs, at the end of OTAs would be a crowned winner.

I don't think we even finished it. Because it was money, right? Everybody had to add in or pay stretch, like pay the pot, like $100 per team. And for a team building activity with Vraib, we got all these foam source, dude. And every day he would go over all the deaths that happened. So it would be like he'd just have it in the team meeting. Put the music in the background. Yeah, put the music.

He'd always have a presentation going out because you would have to send the videos to stretch. Stretch would then make a PowerPoint for Vraib, and Vraib would go over it every day. And man, it would get interesting. remember the first time because all the rookies and then, uh, fridge and guys, they'd be in the hotel right down the road, Candlewood Suite. Shout out the Boys of Candlewood Suites. That was a fucking war zone. War zone on day one and day two, because that's not part of the safe zone. The safe zone is when you're at the facility, when you're at work, there's no, there's no none of that. But once you leave the vicinity, everything's free game. So it was a hotbed at Candlewood Suites for people

trying to get people because everybody's there. Everybody's looking over the shoulder, trying to make, trying to make alliances, but turning their backs on each other. I'm calling Taylor like, hey, come pick me up around the exit. I'll sneak down there properly around, like, let's just say one o'clock. And I'm trying to get out of there and not stay there. I'm trying to stay at Taylor's house because Taylor and I was a teammate. And it would get dicey, man. People were like, because we,

Camp and I, Michael, Mike Campanero's team, our teams had an alliance. So Camp and I was in the hotel and we're getting rookies. We're filming it. You're chasing people down. Don't worry about Taylor either. Right. We're messing. Yeah, yeah. At first, like, we get in, we see like rookies, meet with their parents,

mean with their family. Boom, getting them on the couch right there in front of their parents. RIP to them. And then Tailing came over when, I forget what made us even want to come over there. It was the day you told me to come pick you up and I can't pick you up or I bought Taylor. I guess nobody was fucking with us.

Yeah, well, no, because the day I came to get you, you were literally running away from like 10 dudes. But I'm surprised at nobody was trying to get us like while we were there doing our knock on the door. Taylor's wife dressed up as a Caterwood Suites employee. She had a T-shirt, collar shirt. Call her room service. And they'd open the door and then me and Will would come around the corner

and just bink their ass. Reach in. Dude, my wrist, my hand almost got got one time. It was scary. But she would knock on the door and talk about your AC. We need to check on your AC. Yeah. She'd open them up. Bam, we'd get somebody.

But that game was so fucking fun. So much fun. Because then we'd have to do physicals at the hospital and everybody was on alert. That's when I got God. Somebody turned their... Ben Jones turned his back on me. Right. Ben Jones hacked my phone and shared my location with him.

And so I'd be driving home and he'd be like, hey, what are you doing next to the Baskin-Robbins? And Taylor & I would be driving like... I was like, yo, what the fuck? I called Will. I was like, yo, he's out the game. He knows where I'm at. And then Taylor would call him, be like, hey, there's two guys in the back woods of our house. Like, you know that is?

I was like, it's Ben. It's Ben Jones. Is it fat? No, she's like, yeah. I'm like, it's Ben Jones. He's back there. Man, that game was so fun, bro. So much fun, dude.

Whatever. Who ended up winning? The bearded dude who was good at shooting the guns when we went to the, uh, we went to shoot guns at the end of OTAs, at the police academy. Tyler Merritt. Yes. Merritt's carrots. He ended up winning because he also won that challenge with the guns.

He was really good of doing that. He got the money. Yeah, he got the money. I was going to say, a stretch is holding like $9,300. Because there was like seven teams that were left that made it to the very end. So then they had the shoot-off thing, who was better at the accuracy at the police. The day you got banked was one of the saddest days of my life. I know.

Vraib really played into that one, too. He did to get our hands on one of those videos that Stretch made with the deaths. Yeah. I know I got some of my phone. I got some of my phone and I might have made one when I died like the best got taken out type of thing like in the end.

Yeah, yeah, one of those. Who are you calling? Stretch. Dude, OTAs is so much fun. Because everybody hates OTs but at the same time like OTAs is really like the most stress-free football you're playing. All the boys are just grinding together,

working together, having a good time. Yeah, yeah. It's like youth summer camp football. Youth. It has that vibe. Essentially, It's like for you summer camp or OTAs, as we're comparing them to, because I won't get up.

I'll jump on that wagon for you. Summer football camp. Yeah, summer football camp. It's like you're after a few months and you're really in the groove of just being home and everything else. Like, fuck, we got to go into OTAs, especially if you're a vet and you've done it for a few years. Like, oh, time to go in because you realize the mind games that get played. And the young guys are really nervous and everything else.

She's like, damn, I hate that we have to go in and do this because really not a whole lot's going to happen or go on. You're going to do installs, especially you have the same. coaching staff, things that you already know is going to happen. Yeah. And then, but once you get in there and you realize you only go from like eight to noon, you go from eight to noon, you have the rest of the afternoon off and everything else until you get into the two weeks of practice and all that kind of thing. But it ends up just a big camaraderie builder. Like you have your inside jokes, you're everybody's winning the Super Bowl at that point. There's no pressure. You're not playing

anybody soon. Coaches are loose. They're having a good time. I think, when you really gain the relationship with the coaches? Yeah. That is the most fun time, dude. Someone that, might not ever see the OTAs because of what Wilcoffin did to their father this weekend is poor baby grong his first off I want to say

I feel terrible for that 10 year old kid because he has no idea he's living a crazy life of luxury right now but his dad is essentially a modern 2023 Michael Jackson's father he's just using his kid yeah for the greater good and everything else

father yeah having him sign away there's a fucking problem He named his kid Madden. Like, this is not, this has been premeditated since before the kid was even born. And unfortunately, we made this bastard go viral. The father. He was going, like, baby Grunk has went viral for some years now. Like, he's always made, he's always made headlines in some kind of capacity, like, at different points of the year.

Definitely on, like, I know there's videos that get made and collaborated on, like, TikTok and reels and everything else. Because, like, to your, like, you had the DM where there's been a few different ones. But I remember when baby Grom. that profile had DM'd like when we had first started or a couple years ago and everything else. Like his dad's been in the game trying to do this hustle thing for a long time. And when he asked, because I remember we went to the LA, the movie premiere for Burke Kreischer, he had DM, I was like, yo, the baby Grong profile DM'd and as they come on bussing with the boys. And we were saying how we weren't going to do it.

And so I was like, I appreciate you. We're going to have to pass. And then when he DMed on that Friday night, was it Friday night? on that Friday or Saturday night the other day and said like, hey, we've been trending for a couple days. I think we can make a good show. And I had read that article that he did with, I think TMZ, the New York poster, The Athletic, and just saw it.

It's just like, yo, this dude is a, is fucking delusional. He's one of those delusional fathers living through his kid. What really pissed me off is when he tries to play this, I'm doing this all for him. I'm doing this all for him. I understand. There is a, like, there's a, there's that part of me that sees parents and they, They're kids.

They might have profiles. And I know, I understand the layout now, the game of social media and everything else. Kids can have profiles and brands and everything else and they can capitalize monetarily off of them. I understand in some capacity of that game happening. But the way he's doing it through his own son because he's essentially doing it like all himself. The whole, this has been premeditated since before he was born. His mind's been programmed since he was six. he's saying all this bullshit

that that was what festered me up about it when he came back around to want to get on the bus is like yo I haven't seen anybody like step out and like say or go against I saw Mac be kind of baby gronk how about yeah they want to come on the show or what do we think about this boys and you kind of seeing them playing into it and I was like yeah and then you see all these

profiles collabbing with them and saying baby gronk going around to 10 different schools he's got offers so he's got more offers in high school kids. Yeah. And then seeing as that, you know, we decommitted or we, we, you know, we're not committing right now to Oregon and saying all this fucking dumb shit. That's what made me be like, you. I'm going to step out. Like, you have the kid a chance to breathe a little bit, dude. It's crazy. Yeah, I'm going to step out and check this. You did a great job checking because I was just going to leave it alone. It's kind of like, never again. But you literally, once you posted it, it became a landslide of everyone. But I'm like, yeah, fuck this guy. Yeah. And then when somebody, I want to say, it might have been like the boomer. Yeah, there's Oklahoma. Oklahoma. Oklahoma, some Oklahoma. a profile of the boomer one. Shout out the boys. I'm not trying to butcher your name. But once they showed the DM and I was like, I guarantee you, there's several people, because I knew us in house, every account, unfortunately, except for JP, every account was getting

DM to get on Bustin with the boys. It's like, my man, you're not coming on bus with the boys to fucking parade your kid around. He reached out to Ashley Brewer, who is on ESPN. Ashley and I went to high school together. We were talking last night about how we're fucking ridiculous. They wanted him to do a story on the kid. And it's like, and the worst part is, Bustin collabed with me on another thing saying the star continues at that DM. There's whatever, however many hundreds of comments and baby grunks in all of the

comics with blue checks saying, yo, hey, what's up? So-and-so, what was going on? Like, bro, how fucking delusion. Like, you're literally looking at this. Like, this is a positive thing for you. He spent the entire day on his phone that there's no question of my mind. He texted his buddy who ended up, you know, having to get it. He texted his buddy to make a video.

I don't even know who his fucking friend was. He said, oh, supporter of baby Ronk and speaking out against Will Compton. It was one of those things like, what do you, what do you? On the post with Taylor and bust. It's fucking ridiculous. Hey, it's baby Grong's dad. Let's do a one-on-one interview. We don't need Will in it.

And I literally had the same type up like, brother, no fuck yourself. Like, there's no way that's happening. And I was like, I'm just going to leave him with an L-O-L. You put the L-O-L. I was wishing you would have fucking, I remember I called you, I was like, yo, if you can muster up a fart right now, I was in the middle of getting habachi. Yeah, but you were getting habachi. I couldn't hear a word you were saying.

You said something about a fart. I'm like, I just text me. He never texted. Yo, if you could muster up a fart right now and just fucking fart him into oblivion, do it. Yeah, yeah. And I've seen people be like, you know, you guys are giving him exactly what he wants and everything else. Trust me, I understand that. But we also get paid to make content too. Like, he's out here reaching.

You reach, we teach. Like, we teach. This is what we do as well. It's like, yo, this goes in the- This is the game we're playing. Yeah, this is the game we play as well because people are like, oh, Will, you're cloud chasing as well. We're all on social media. We're all playing the game.

Yeah, this is the brand. This is the brand. This is what happens. You had to, it's been a while since I've taken somebody and walked. Somebody had mentioned it. When that was happening, that Gronx, I was happening, and I saw a second DM because it's not like I just sought it out. He came back around again after I respectfully declined. Respectfully. Respectfully. And again, that compared with all those articles he's going around, I think it's absolutely ridiculous. It's somebody literally vicariously, like, living through their kid. Wow. He can say whatever he fucking wants. A dude's a fucking loser. He's a loser. Maybe Grunk's dad is a fucking loser.

Yeah. That's tough, man. We did just give him exactly what he wanted. Now he's got a clip on Bustin with the boys. That's okay. Again, we get to make our content like we do. They're not sitting on here. We'll see what happens with them in the next decade.

I know where the boys are headed. Yeah. This is just part of our game. The moon. Whether the podcast gods want to take us down for a month or not, dude, we're fucking doing this. This is part of our game. Yeah. We got to fight the good fight, man.

But anyway, is there anything that I'm missing on speaking to or we're missing on speaking on? in terms of baby gronk Yeah in terms of that whole thing like any I will say one thing from a social media perspective I fucking hate the whole situation but it is impressive from like marketing they're executing

a very successful marketing campaign without being on anyone's shit yeah but at the end of the day get fucked yeah absolutely like no one's knocking the I guess hustle about it the way you're hustling about is what

where people are having an issue with. It's the dad issue. It's the dad issue. It has nothing to do with the kid, man. It has nothing to fucking do with the kid. He can't help that his dad's feeding him scripts on saying stuff. When all that stuff was going on, he DM me again, sent a video that I didn't put out there. DM me again of his kid.

Hey, Will, while playing Fortnite because he's going out. My kid plays Fortnite. They were in a hotel room probably going on their next trip to go somewhere else to where they can finesse some content. But it's the way he's going about it. It's the way they're going about it. They've made money. The kid, okay, he's going to have a bank account at the end. And again, yank fucking yank.

But it's just the entire rollout in the way he's going about it because it is all about him. And he can say the times are changing. It's a new game. People can't play outside this and that. We play outside every fucking day. Yeah, we play in the pool for what? Three hours just next. Yeah.

There's, hey, look, there's a million different ways of skin a cat. And the way he's doing it is a way that I felt like, y'all, I'm going to check this motherfucker. I don't agree with it, but whatever, man. Whatever. They have, they've made a quick buck, though. But again, it's a great time. Again, in the game of making content in branding and social media and podcasting and news and everything else, you got to take advantage when something's hot.

Yeah, but at least at least if they could hit puberty, he could hit puberty and not grow a fucking inch. Yeah. And then what? What happens when he gets to like to that age and he never gets like an offer or anything doesn't go to a big school? And like now all of these like media people are all these normal fans or whatever are going to come after him personally like the kid.

Right. And not the dad. Like he's a bus. You suck. Like his dad just putting him in a very vulnerable position to get absolutely shit on later if he doesn't get it. If he doesn't get it. You already know too when he comes back and either talks about it, brings it up or whatnot. Like his dad's going to feed him some shit about this program that he's had like he's none.

The kid looks like, you know what I mean? Like staying emotionless. Yeah, that right there In this whole thing He's going to be spewing some bullshit About Who God knows what All I know is that ultimately

It's not going to end well Like we've seen this play out And I am going to be super interested How this plays out when he does get to high school Or than if I just feel bad for that fucking kid Dude Because it's not going to end bad for the dad But the dad's going to be fine

He's not the one that's on social media It's the kid that's on social media And like you said When he gets no offers Or he doesn't pan out the way Unless this kid's a full first overall pick or a first round pick in the NFL draft. It's like, are we, it's a bust.

I think if he goes to the NFL, like, then there's some, there's some comeback around to that, right? But again, you face that, you battle that bridge, you cross that bridge when it gets here. But, um, most like I said, that was another thing, too, that was that, like, he talks about how he knows this game so well. Like, you're doing it through a kid, through your own 10-year-old. Like, if you are that privy and you know the game that well on content, social media, marketing and everything else, do it with your own fucking profile.

learn how to do it with your own game. We interrupt this episode to bring you black tucks, not to get all adult on you, but it's time we had to talk.

You think so? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's get that a secret. God's going to be pissed when they find out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's going to be fun, though, man. And it's an evening race this time. So hopefully, I know last year there were storms, right?

Did you talk to Wi-Fi about that? We can do the garage. We could absolutely do the garage. If it needs to happen, it's going to happen. Right, because there's got to be a pivot. You can't just be out there throwing balls into the wind, man. Maybe we have to. We'll figure it out there will be.

There will be a way to get this. Right, to get that thing in. But, yeah, man. NASCAR's going to be sick. We might as well talk about NASCAR while we're here, the upcoming race, the Alley 400, Nashville Speedway, Super Speedway, June 25th, like Taylor said, at 7 p.m. Eastern on NBC. Parker McCollum is going to be doing a pre-race concert, guitars and fast cars under the lights in Music City.

It gets you going like that? I've never been in the pit before either I'm excited to experience all that. I heard it's a rowdy time. Man, and the best part about the pit? Poohy's. Paul Swan's going to be there. Paul Swan's going to be there.

Smoke show. Smoke show of a human being. Great looking cat. Yeah? But he embraces you with fucking massive energy. Of all the good looking dudes we know, where would you put him? Where would you rank him?

Ooh, that's a good question. You know some handsome people? Three? He's top three. That would need to be a tier talk. Handsome, most handsome dudes? Yeah. he's top three on people that we know or have been on the bus.

You got Riley Green. He's up there. Who else? Mark. Mark, yeah. Mark from Midland. Yeah, and then you got Paul Swan. He's a stud, though. He's an awesome dude. And then I'm laughing about the video you made last year, JP, where you were like, what were you doing? You were like walking. You were like going with the race.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, right. I set my phone up and I just put like NASCAR. car sound under and I just ran across the screen real fast. Hey, don't forget tonight, as you guys are listening right now, push up Tuesday. Yeah, JP. PM, CT, CDT. J-Hovey-34. We'll be going alive. We will be going live. Where should we start? Should we hit shout-out? No free shout out of the week or Pet peeve of the week. Let's hit Pet peeve of the week. I have one yes or no question for you guys. Everybody needs to go around to answer. I was polling people all weekend. Taylor, you can answer first.

Do you pee in the pool? Yes. Yes. Garrett? No. Don't lie, Mitch. I swear to God I've never peed in the pool. Shut the fuck up, man.

Don't say never. Just don't say that. Say 99% of that time. I bet you did when you were young. Okay. Maybe when I was a baby. Well, you can say never. Okay.

I do not consciously piss in the pool. Okay. Jack, if we're ever in the pool together and you guys see me swim away? If you have the opportunity to like piss in like a bush or something, you should. but sometimes it happens. I didn't like that answer. But sometimes it happens. I think the answer is just yes.

Yeah, I pee in the pool. Almost every time I go to the pool. Yeah, I pee in the pool every time. I got to hurry because I got to pee. Exactly. I'll tell you what's weird, though, is like peeing in the pool when your torso is in the pool is fine.

But if somebody stood up and just pissed in the pool, you'd like, hey, what the fuck are you doing? That's a felony. Yeah, but it's the same thing. Yeah, it is. It's the same shit, right? Yeah. But anyway.

That's a good point. Yeah, I don't know about the whole. I do not pee in the pool. There are some people that are strong about that. I remember my pool for three hours yesterday. Didn't get out once. I did to get the ball a couple times. Yeah, but yeah.

No, I did not pee. You peed. No. Yeah, I did not get out to pee. Yeah. Correct. Correct. I do.

I pee in the pool. I remember one time people were really tripping me because I tweeted that I peed in the cold tub or the hot tub. In the facility? Yeah. Hot tub can be different. Hot tub can be different because it can get smelly. And it's, yeah, it's close quarters. Like, you're sitting in the hot tub in one place for like 20 minutes.

Dude, have you ever peeing the cold tub after a hard practice? And you kind of look down and you can kind of see like the yellow. Yeah, the yellow thing. You're kind of like mess with the water. Move the hips a little bit. Yeah, get it out of there. Yeah. But this is the same dude that eats ribs with a fork.

That happened one time. That happened one time. No. It happened one time. My hands. So you guys don't pee in hot tubs? No. Sounds like a lot of boys in the back don't know how to handle their meat.

Jack, do you pee in the hot tub? I mean, I guess. 50-50 maybe? I don't know. I feel like when you're in a hot tub, though, you're not in there for an extent of amount of time. Like 15, 20 minutes maybe. But you know how it is when you hit the hot water? As soon as those toes hit the hot water.

It almost, I feel like in cold water would make more sense. Are you, dog, think about it every time you get in a hot shower. Yeah, I pee in the shower before. You do the whole prank too. You put their hand in a warm bowl of water. Yeah, not a cold bowl of water. You know what I'm saying? The heat makes you want to pee.

Yeah, no, no. I pee. Before I've gotten in the hot tub and then I get in the hot tub and I pee again. I think the close quarters makes it a little weirder. And the cold tub, that's criminal. That's criminal. But we're talking. I also was just in a cold tub with Taylor like two weeks.

Time out, time out, time out. That's like, you're, you're in a, you're in a fucking... I was a hell of the time, and I didn't pee in there. You're in a tub. I appreciate that. You're in a little tub. You know what I mean? There's not, the only reason I feel like I'm completely fine saying I've peed in the hot

tubs and cold tubs throughout my career is because there's so much fucking chlorine in that thing. I mean, by the end of the season, my hairs are like fried off my fucking legs. Yeah. Also, peeing in a bathtub? I had no issue with that either. Definitely I'm an issue with that. Like you're a bad, like, you're bad.

your bath water that you're cleaning or something? I mean, it's only you in there, so it's like if you do that, it's... It's terrible. I mean, I would take... I'm trying not to do that, but that's what you do. During the season, I would take Epsons salt baths twice a week, one right after the game and one around Friday. Sometimes if you're laying in there, dude, that little piece would kind of bob.

It got a float a little bit. So I start peeing, you do it would almost break the water. You could see it pushing up. Like, oh, something's going on down there. But yeah, I pee in the hot tub and the tub and all of them. All of them. Little tubs are like those troughs, when you know the boys are getting in and out, I'll stay out of that. Big facilities, I'm peeing that. Dude, you know it's a bit of a rush.

Dad. You feel like you're being sneaky? Taking a dump in a lake. Aqua dump. Yeah. Dropping an aqua dump out there. Say you're a, whether you're a party cove or you're just out. I've never done that, but I also haven't been around a whole lot of lakes my life.

I mean, I'm just saying I've pinched a few off out there in the lakes before. Really? Yeah. You at least have a It's kind of comfortable. Take like a 50-yard swim away. Are you like... Yeah, I mean, I'm not trying to shit where I'm hanging out.

Floating, too. That should be still funny, dude. That would be so funny. What's funny is you just feel like your, uh, your swim trunks just down around your knees. Borderline drowning. Yeah. Are you trying to float or you kind of find some ground, like shallow enough? I've done both.

Wow. But I'll just say it's an aqua dump. It's a fun. It's a fun experience. Shorzie. Episode one. Did you saw it? I have.

Big plot line episode one of Shorsey, season one. Pet peeve? Pet peeve of the week? Oh, yeah, yeah. Back to Pet Peeve of the week. I'm ready. I'll go. Go ahead.

My pet peeve of the week is going to go back to traffic, dude. When you are at a light and the other, the crossing traffic, the left and right, and you're going north and south, they're going east and west. And there's nowhere to go. It's backed up traffic. Cars choose to go into the, like, into the median area when they know they can't move. And then the light turns red and then your light turns green. There's nowhere to go.

That is my pet peeve of the week. Like, just, if you don't have the room to go, it's okay to miss the light, but you're fucking up everybody else. And that shit pisses me off. I almost caught one a day. But instead, I caught somebody running a red light instead. Just fucking crazy. So that is my pet peeve of the week.

That's a good one. Thanks, Bob. What do you guys got? I guess I should go, yeah. My pet beef of the week is coffee cup leakage. When you have that to go coffee cup and the cap's on top. And it's usually the, what is it, the foamy type cup? It's like foam mixed with plastic type deal.

Yeah, sour foam. Or cardboard. But fuck, I don't know. But when you get the lid on top and you're taking a sip and the coffee find some leakage somewhere in the rim, no matter what, because it's got that paperish rim, that pisses me off. Number one, it happened over the weekend. Some coffee cup leakage, my white shirt that I was going to do for family photos.

Yeah. Had to retire it. But I just feel like that always happens with those paper cups. That's what it fucking is, paper cups. When you get the paper cups with the lid, dude, I'm telling you, never holds. It never fucking holds. And we got to do something about that. Need more plastic.

But my pet peeve of the week is coffee cup leakage. Gee? My pet peeve of the week is when I'm driving and I see someone in a nice car smoking a cigarette with the windows up. What are you doing? Oh, that pisses you off. Yeah, I mean, let me drive that nice car. You can smoke a cigarette in my car out there or crack the window or just don't smoke a cigarette in your car in general. My pet peeve is when I see someone hot boxing their leather interior with a cigarette.

I have to disagree. It's his. It's his pepeep. That gets his fucking blood going, dude. They gets your blood going, brother? What if somebody was doing that in your new car outside? Well, that's different if they're doing it in your car. If it's my vehicle.

And leather seats, leather seats don't really hold the smoke like that. That's not a pet peeve. That's you cross the line. Now you're running to a whole different issue. Right, but it wouldn't piss you off to see someone with a cigarette. They're doing in their car.

I'm just thinking, no, you're inky. You got cracked the window just like, hey, that's more for you than it's for anybody else. But do your thing, boss. Kills me. I'm sorry you wouldn't do that. Mitch, what do you got, big dog? Put some enthusiasm in your voice.

My pep peeve of the week this week is something that happens to me and I just feel so, so dumb. Mitch looks good. After it. It's when you're going to say something and like something that happens and then it's like you're trying to talk again and you forget what you're going to say, you literally just feel like the biggest idiot.

and like playing football, like, is this CTE coming on? Like, what's going on in my head right now? Like, am I just dumb? But. You're saying your pet beef is when you forget what you're saying. No, when you're going to, like, say something and, like, somebody else says something real quick, and then it's your turn to talk again and you forget what you're going to say. And you're just like, well, now I just look like an idiot because now I don't, I'm just sitting here and not saying anything.

I got you. Frustrations with yourself is, that pisses me off. That negative self-talk immediately just. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a fucking idiot, man. Are Bonita Fish Big? Oh, you go ahead. You get that reference?

Anybody get that reference? Yeah, so I'd say they're pretty big. I'm sorry. He's like, oh, I forgot what I was going to say. Yeah. Jack, what's yours? I thought we've talked about this before, but I don't think it was a pet peeve. Why pet peeve people with a week is, especially when it's your close friends, people

VINMO requesting you for under like $10. Especially if it's to like a decimal point, like 434 for the coffee, that shit pisses me off. Did you say this one already? I don't know. I think you did. It's like I was it before, but it's still a good one.

Maybe even within a month ago. I don't think it was it. Well, I'll double down on it. Because it's always the cats who flex their money. Oh, no. VINMO requesting you for fucking 434. And it didn't happen to me this past weekend, but it's happened me in the past. And I just kind of came across my head.

And I think it's one of those things is if it's a stranger, that's fine. If you got a VIMA request me $8 or we have to do it to you because, like, we went and got drinks and, like, I paid for your girlfriend something or whatever it is. But when it's your good friend, when you know it's going to come back around, it bugs me when people try and VIMO request you for $7 or something bullshit. It's like, we're grownups. Like, I'll get the next one. Let's just call it at that. So, yeah, I might have said that one before. but I think in my mind,

it needs to be fed twice. But fuck you for doing it. So that's, that's where I'm at. Oh, my pet peeve of the week goes to pedestrians with zero road integrity or bike riders. When people are, I'm mainly thinking of like runners and bikers when they're running on the road,

but there's a sidewalk right here. And they're just causing everybody to have to get over into the next. lane when you could easily just be on the sidewalk. Or if somebody's coming, then you've got to slow down for a minute to let them pass, so then you can kind of roundabout way around them. And you know they hear you. And like, you're running on the road and I don't know. It just bugs me.

Or when people just, you know when you think in your head you're about to cross the street, like, they're not going to hit me. Can't. It would be murder. So you just kind of use your power to your advantage. Yeah. Oh, I don't like that. I know.

Yeah, I don't either. College town thing. College towns, like, I don't know how Nebraska is, but Ann Arbor, Michigan, them motherfuckers will just step right in front of the road. You'd be on your little vestment fooder. Like, hey, I could have just took you out, but it's like that. It's like, hey, that'd be murder. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You have someone on the brakes from them, boys sometimes. So I understand that, Pepey. Bike riders are big in Arizona, too, especially in the wintertime, little shorts. Yeah, I'm not understanding if you got a road bike, can you be on the road, but if you're just on a normal bike, like, there's a sidewalk for a reason. Right.

Right, right, right. How about shout-out, no-free shout-out? Let's get some positivity. Yeah. All right. Get your list? I think I got something. I got something in the bank right now.

I think my shout-out, no-free shout-out of the week. Oh, before we start, should we hit an ad? We hit them, didn't we? Oh, Sport Clips! Yeah, talk to them about Sport Clips. Shout out, no-free shout-out to Sport Clips. Gentlemen, we want it all. We want to play it by ear and have definite

plans and we want to overshare life stories and remain mysterious. We want to be hip and wear the same sweatshirt every day. But sadly, we can't have it all unless we're at Sport Clips haircuts. Where you can tune into the game and tune out of work pings where we can put our hair in our hands of pros and put our brains on Do Not Disturb. At Sport Clips, we get unbeatable haircuts and some uninterrupted down. Time? Yeah. I'll just support. I'll interrupt the downtime with the MVP experience complete with massaging shampoos and a hot steam towels.

In other words, we get to have it all. Walk in or check in online sport clips. It's a game changer. Your hands are so warm. I know. Yeah. It helped. Oh, good. That was nice. That's my shoutout. Boy supporting boys. A warm hand on my shoulder. A warm hand on my shout out, no free shout out is when all the boys decide on a. spot to eat. Sometimes you get caught in a little indecision. You're like, man, what are we going to do? Boys, what are we going to do? Last week when we had strikeout wings, and we all decided like, oh, let's do strikeout wings. We decided on a couple of sauces were up in the air. But when we nailed in what we wanted to do and we were fired up about it, that energy is good. And that is my

shout-out, no-free shout-out. When you and your boys are a group of friends, you guys all decide on the spot to eat, especially if it comes right out of the gate. And you're like, oh, let's go here. And it's like, yes, dude. Start chest bumping and hugging, high-fiving. That's my shout-out. Anybody else have a shout-out? My shout-out, no free shout-out. You don't really do it as much when you're older. I guess you still do.

But is ordering a pizza, you know how I feel about delivery. I don't usually do delivery. But getting a pizza delivered to the pool. And I'm really thinking about when you're growing up, you're with your friends, somebody's mom or you guys all throw in to get some Papa Johns or Domino's, Little Sears. And sometimes when you guys. the extra for the two-liter soda.

There's nothing better than having that pizza delivered to the pool and just hanging out in your one table. So that's my shout-on-no-free shout-out. You talk about tag teams out there. A pizza and a two-liter of cola? Crazy duo. I don't want a large barva. Yeah, yeah.

I love how I just threw two in there, too, like he said, too. I think he's just a leader. Yeah, but you can have a two-liter, a little. Oh, good day, yeah, yeah. Good is fair. Two-liter cola. My shoutout goes two people in an activity. But the two people are Derek Lyle and Claire Lyle.

There are friends who just got married in New Orleans this weekend. But my shoutout revolves around the second line. If you've ever been to a New Orleans wedding, I just had my first one, the second line, after the initial party for the reception. You go outside and you, like, get a permit, basically. And it's just a parade for like 20 minutes. You walk with the whole wedding party through the main streets of New Orleans.

They got a whole band. walking with you. People are smoking cigars. Everyone's got the handkerchiefs. It's like a traditional thing. You're just dancing, having a good time. Like, couldn't be beat, and they also do it when you die. So for the birth of your marriage and then the death of yourself. And it's a beautiful thing. Like, everyone couldn't be, like, happier about it.

You're hugging, you're kissing. It's fun. So shout out to the second line, but more importantly, shout out to Derek and Claire Lyle for their beautiful marriage and an awesome wedding weekend. 50 shot, boys. Good luck. Doing a big curveball with that death part, too. Well, my grandfather had a second line.

I forgot about it, and I told my mom about the second line. She's like, you remember Papa Bear was his name. We called him, and I was like, no. And she showed me all these photos. And I'm, like, having, you know, time because I'm a little kid when it happened. But everyone's crying. But it's a beautiful thing, I think, you know, a way to celebrate someone's life. Yeah.

I want to go back for a second. You called your grandpa, Papa Bear? Yeah. Mama Bear and Papa Bear. That is cool. I like that a lot. Have you had conversations with Charo about what you're going to be called as a grandfather? Grandpa.

Boys. Yeah, grandpa. I guess I do have a shout-up. My shout-out is going to go to, well, it just kind of came to the dome real quick. Go off top. We drove to New Orleans, a group of I. A group of us. I was wondering.

And I just want to show you. shout out to when the person that decides to drive does the whole trip. You know, you make a couple pit stops. You offer like, hey, let me get in there. Like, I'm feeling pretty antsy in the shotgun seat. But shout out to that person. Hey, whenever you want to lean on me, go ahead. Whenever.

I kind of was like asking a lot because I wanted something to do. Yeah. But yeah, shout out to the person that makes a long haul driving us seven plus hours. That's a good off top shout out. That is a good shoutout. My shout-out, No Free Shout This Week, goes to a good book. I just started a book last week. It's actually a book that my Pupupup gave me.

It recommended me. What's Pupup? Pupup is my grandfather. Oh, dude. Nice. My mom and Pupupup. They watch the show every single day. Do they watch the show?

Yes. Hell yes. Who was it? Who is that South Carolina? My aunt. Your aunt. Amphal. What?

Was your grandmother? What? wasn't your grandmother there or something? No, she just has white hair. Oh, I got. But yeah, so he, I went, when I was home for when we had our week off, I visited my grandparents and, like, I was just talking about books and stuff. And he recommended this book.

It's called Orphan X. It sounds dope. And so I'm only like 100 pages into it, but it's so, it's really good so far. So when you find that good book where you're like, okay, I can't wait to like read it again or you can't put it down, it's like a cool little feeling because it's not like you're watching a show. you're actually reading and kind of like more sophisticated than watching a show, I think.

So I shodd I know if a shout out goes through a free book. Are you a guy that when you read a book? Do you think you're better than us? Are you a guy when you read a book and then you see the movie, you get out of the movie theater and you go, it was good, but the book is so much better.

I haven't really read many. You know his bitch asses like that dude. Yeah. I haven't read many books that were like put into like movies, I guess. Harry Potter? I'd never read the books. Those books are wrong. I read the first one.

My shout-on-no-free shout-out goes to getting the week started correctly. Woke up this morning at 6 a.m. And got myself a nice little rollout. Hit the Juve Light for, 10 minutes, got a rollout in, hit the cold tub after that, went shorn. Got all the shit done. By the time the kids were up, I was kind of knocked out

most of the morning, felt good about the rest of my day. So shout out. Getting your week started the correct way. That's my shout-up. Should we go to your talk? First, can we talk about them shoes? What about them? Come on, man. Oh, gee. Yeah, I've had these boys for almost 10 years now. I think those holes just got

they weren't like that all this year, 2023. Those have been like that for five years. The holes in the... Literally, as I was re-following Jeffrey Simmons on Instagram and telling him it wasn't personal, I looked back and there was literally a photo of me wearing these shoes, and he said, I'm buying you a new pair of vans.

This is getting a hand. You've had holes in both for the last five years? Yeah. I'm just not noticing. Yeah, I could probably find a photo quickly. Yeah, I would like to... Maybe the last podcast we did. Yeah, maybe.

We do got to figure that out. What's wrong with these? Come on, you got holes in them. They're still good. No or not, you can get a new pair of black vans. Don't listen to him, Taylor. Don't listen to them. Thank you.

You got to have a pair of OGs. You can slip on any time. I love these shoes. You see the sweat marks? I work out in these, too. I ain't say you don't have to love them anymore. I'm just saying you need to wear some different shoes. I got other shoes.

There we go. We got a few of you back there.

Who wants to kick it off? Yeah, go ahead, JP. I got mine. I got mine, too. All right. It's going to be fun. This is going to be a good little time. Hear about the old nicknames,

realist and war stories. I know. It seems like all the older people have the best nicknames. But maybe not. Honorable mention will go to white chocolate. I don't even know Yeah, I mean, he gave hope to every single white kid that ever played basketball.

And he's gotten better, like, as time has gone on. I don't know if you ever hear his interviews or anything. He's just like, white chocolate lives on forever, and that's one of the best nicknames. He defied all odds. He did defy all odds. And fun fact, he was a football player of the year. the same year that Randy Moss was basketball player of the year at the same high school. Okay.

Tier three, Julius Dr. J. Irving. I think any time you throw in the doctor label into a nickname and with how smooth he played, you know, the iconic rock the baby dunk, it's like you're a doctor out there. You're just clinical on the court. Saving people's lives. Saving people's lives and taking people's lives. No, number two, this is recency bias big time. And it's tough because of an upcoming fight.

But I have The Notorious at number two. And what's cool about it is fighting. It's tougher because those guys can easily lose. But he lived up to his name, Connor the Notorious McGregor. So I just think Notorious is a dope, is a dope name. Yeah. And tier one, shout out to one of my favorite movies of all time. It's not a movie character, but Calvin Johnson, Megatron.

Because I just pictured all of the sounds when he's putting on his pads and his helmet. I picture him transforming in that moment and becoming Megatron. So that's my, that's my tier talk. Great. Nice. Doctor. Solid. You go? No, I think I'm going to jump.

in and go. I'm going to jump in here and go and he gets caught. My honorable mention is going to also be white chocolate. I was bummed when you said that. I was like, fuck, I thought I might be the only one. That's what made me think immediately like, I got to chime in here and get

in this. I've had a white chocolate jersey hanging in my closet that was gifted to me by Bashad Breeland from when we were on Washington. Yes. Nothing, like when you, when, When a brother gives you a white chocolate jersey, it's like getting an invite to the cookout.

Nothing better than being referred to as white chocolate in your craft. My Tier 3, the Hick from French Lick, Larry Bird. My Tier 2. Love this one. Love this one. Come Bucket, Jonathan Caminga. Jonathan Caminga is a small four for the Gold State Warriors. And this one doesn't have any backstory.

The fans just skipped this guy, this God-tiered nickname as soon as he was drafted. You have a nickname, Cumbucket, incredible. That is my tier two. Love that name. My tier one is straight paying homage. Walter Payton's sweetness. That is my tier one, Walter Payton. I wanted to be Walter Payton when I was young.

But that's my, that is my favorite nickname. I love to watch him Walter Payton, all of his highlights. My dad was obsessed with the 86, 86 bears. So he'd always talk to me about Walter Payton, how he would run that hill until he threw up, just all the stuff, all the Walter Payton stories. So my tier one nickname of sports nickname of all time, sweetness, Walter Payton. That concludes my tier talk. Enthusiasm. Old school.

Unifying. Dumb. Horny. Throwbacks. Robacks. All right. I'll go. My honorable mention is going to go to someone who is extremely controversial, and that is shoeless Joe Jackson, getting his name

when he had blisters on his feet, so he took his shoes off at back, at bat when he went play for the White Sox. Now, this man should be in the Hall of Fame of the MLB, however, is not because he was paid $20,000 to throw a game in the World Series forever being banished to the MLB, but I think Shoeless Joe Jackson is a cool fucking name. So I mess with it. also the eight other teammates

they're now called the Black Sox. My tier three is going to go to Wayne Gretzky, the great one. I think you get a name like the great one. It just seems like,

I recently watched Pokemon with my daughter in the second movie. And Ash was like the one. And if there was all this mythology of these three legendary Pokemon, he was the one. I was like,

man, it'd be so sick to be like the chosen one. But Wayne Gretzky is the great one. My tier two is going to be, going to be a salute to Kobe Bryant, the Black Mamba. What a fucking badass name. Is there anything else to say? Dude, that is...

First off, snakes are the scariest thing in the world to me. They got no arms, but they move swiftly. And the Black Mama, all the intensity of everything he did, the 2 a.m. workouts, all that stuff. Everybody loves Kobe Bryant. And my tier one goes to Dale Earnhardt

Jr.'s dad, the intimidator. Dude, if you are in a sport And your nickname is the intimidator. I don't think there's a whole lot more badass than that. So a tip of the cat that Dale and her RIP. That is my true talk. Legends.

Pioneers. Tough. Great. Studs. Sick. Sick. All right. My tier talk for nicknames.

My honorable mention is going to go to Johnny Football. That's a good one. That's a good one. My tier three is going to be. going to go to the king, Derek Henry. Tier two is going to go to the freak, Javon Curse. And tier one's going to go to Air McNair, Steve McNair. Homer.

Tennessee. Titans. Nice. Sick. Is that it? Yeah, I forgot. I forgot. You already went to it. My honorable mention, this is more of a newer one. The legend was born, 2018.

on the run to the Super Bowl. Big Dick Nick Falls. I think that's just hilarious. Number three, also in Eagles guy, Shady McCoy, the Shaw McCoy. I just think that's kind of a cool little nickname. And then my tier two, please don't be from Philly.

Like, get off the tip. Go ahead. Number two, the sheriff, Peyton Manning did not, he's not from Philly. He's not playing Philadelphia. Same size said. Yeah, that is true. That is very true.

And my tier one, one of the smoothest swings in baseball of all time, the kid, Ken Griffey Jr. Cheese steak. Big. Top heavy. Dreams. Can't. I'm going with Delco.
