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.
Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face.
I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out.
There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin.
And I just like really regret not living in the present more.
You don't need to have everything figured out right now.
You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.
Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Why are we all so obsessed with romance?

Be like, uh,
bussing with the boys,
and hanging with the fed.
Betting on again.
Gonna tell us what you do.
I'm just drinking beer and making that
and being with the fed.
Busing with the boys.
Bro.
Up on here, ladies gentlemen,
welcome to another episode of Bus with the Boys,
episode 304 and Thanksgiving week.
Let's get a round of applause for that.
We have a lot to be thankful for,
but one thing we're more thankful for
than most is the Chevy Silverado,
and there's a reason why we've never done a tier talk
of best pickup trucks,
and that's because for Bustin with the Boys,
there's only one pickup truck.
the Chevy Silverado. Why is that? Silverado is a partner, a partner you can depend on. We've all spent
time driving and using a Silverado for all kinds of adventures and other shenanigans. Silverado
was a partner with us on the spring tour and they were on the fall tour and God willing they
will be in 2025 as well. Silverado brings grit, legendary grit paired with modern truck
tech inside and out massive screens and up to eight cameras and with 14 different views to help
make driving, towing, and parking all easier. We love the bold blacked outlook of the new
Silverado HD Trail Boss.
There's a reason Chevy is America's most awarded brand for a new vehicle quality over the last
three years, according to JD Power.
Will Compton, as always, has himself a ZR2.
That thing looks amazing every time it pulls in the parking lot.
Heads turn.
Next crank.
People go to the chiropractor.
That's the action it takes.
Go ahead and head over to Chevy.com and build your own Silverado or Silverado HD and
check out all the current offers on Silverwater.
Discover a world of strength and capability, all behind the wheel of our favorite truck,
the Chevy Silverado.
Chevrolet received the highest total number of awards
compared to all of the brands in JD Power
2022 through 2024 U.S. initial quality studies.

for more details, awards based on 2022 through 2024.
Let's give another round of applause for
the boys in Lincoln, Nebraska,
for the longest time, have not been able to say they are,
but now they are officially rolling that ball down the lanes.
They are going bowling!
And in just great fashion, too, stomping out,
getting a win, going bowling, and also getting right from that 2012 game against the Wisconsin
Badgers.
Will, congratulations.
Thank you.
You boys are bowling.
Thank you.
You've done it.
How do we feel?
It feels amazing.
Look, feed us the SEC.
Oh.
Feed us the SEC.
We just mopped the Wisconsin Badgers, by the way, who took the number one team in the
country down to the wire.
Nebraska pre-Hulgerson took Ohio State.
State, the number two ranked team in the country
all the way down to the fourth quarter.
I'm not going to sit here and speculate
where we would be if we would add
Holgerson all year long, but I'm telling
you this, eight wins are staring
us right in the face and it's going to be through the
SEC and I can't fucking wait
because the SEC just showed their ass
this weekend. Number one, I apologize.
Thank you. I apologize. I did
an official statement on Twitter. Crazy.
I was trying to be realistic. I was like,
you know what, Will? Put the sword
down about the Big Ten.
let's give the SEC their flowers.
They're talking about this college football playoff picture.
For the first time and a long time,
I'm kind of seeing eye to eye with them.
I agree.
It's like we don't need the Boise States,
the armies of the world.
We don't need them infiltrating the college football.
You also said mean things about Arizona State.
I didn't say mean things about it.
On the locker room.
What I say you mean about?
We said Boise State, Army, Arizona State.
And you said how do you think they would do
against these big, bad SEC teams?
Is that what I said?
Yeah, you were basically saying, hang on time.
You were basically all these non-powerful conferences.
Hang on, hang on.
I don't think I said anything.
mean about Arizona State.
I think I said,
I think I,
I said I have Colorado
winning the Big 12.
They lost.
So yeah,
I'm fired up about Arizona.
I said I'm fired up
for an Arizona State
a Big 12 championship game
for them to go,
knowing that they were ranked last
and counted out from the very beginning.
I never said anything bad about Arizona State.
It's been a lot,
been pretty crazy out there.
It's been a crazy week for Wilcompton,
flipping.
Yeah.
All just,
well,
because I was having a sense of realism.
You have nine teams that are ranked
inside the top 25.
Pretty much you're thinking about this chaos
that's going to ensue
in the big,
in the SEC between all of these two lost teams like Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee.
And they just folded over the weekend to all these very below average SEC teams.
And I'm sitting there watching it.
And I'm not upset that I was wrong.
I'm happy.
I'm elated that I was wrong because I was like, you know, the Big Ten really does have the best teams going for them right now.
And the SEC, especially like guys like Paul Finneybaum.
A lot of our busts in the back.
They're all pro-S-E-C.
It's like, oh, they kind of are average.
They aren't who we thought they were, the SEC is.
Yes.
And now we're sitting here in a spot where, Jack, I have to say sorry to you.
I came in last week, was trying to start chaos.
I was like, hey, it seems like Tennessee is going to be the one-two-loss team
who's just going to be unlucky in this whole matter because Alabama's been handling business
since you guys beat them by three points out in Tennessee.
It sucks to be Jack.
Sucks to be Tennessee.
Jack, are you going to just take this from them?
Are you going to just sit there while bam
and all these other teams have their cake about it?
I was trying to get you worked up.
And now I apologize because you guys have a shot now as well.
A real shot.
Because of how much the SEC shit down their leg over the weekend.
It's looking like as long as all the teams play out this following weekend,
that we can have a rematch versus Georgia in 8 versus 9,
which would be really intense.
Time out.
Tennessee versus Georgia in the SEC championship.
No, no, no, in the cultural football.
College football.
Tennessee is not going to the SEC championship.
You guys don't have a shot?
Which is the best case scenario for Tennessee.
Or is the winner of Texas in Texas.
Yeah.
Say it again, JP?
Georgia's in.
Georgia doesn't have anybody this week?
SEC championship?
No, they have Georgia Tech.
Yeah, so it doesn't matter.
Hang on now.
Georgia's got to get past Georgia Tech.
It doesn't matter for the SEC Championship.
Yeah.
Oh, man, that sucks.
But they do got.
That doesn't suck.
Tennessee doesn't want to play an SEC championship.
why not? I wouldn't want to.
Yeah, yeah.
Extra game. Also, you got to go play Texas.
And then there's just too many factors that go into that that would scare the shit out of me.
They right now, they have easy street on their way to the college football playoff.
It's just, I, I, I, guys, I am so sorry.
Taylor, I am so sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
I am so sorry.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Apologize, actually.
For a week falling off the horse, acting like the SEC is that conference.
They're in such a place that they don't want to be a part.
of a championship game because they're too scared of all the variables going into a college
football playoff. That's not the SEC. Everyone talks about it. Ever, no. Any time, anywhere
any place is how the SEC talks. Now they don't want any part of, hey, I don't think I want
to go in the SEC championship because it makes me nervous. He said the word, he said the word scary.
He said he's scary to me. Too many variables. Too many variables that are scary to me.
I love how cameras over here when he's like, dude, they don't want to go. They don't want to go.
It's the easiest thing for Tennessee. And when, you know what, when Tennessee's in the
playoff because my boys will be at the music city bowl play to god i'll be rooting for
tennessee unless they're playing organ they're playing oh they're playing oh they're playing oh
they're playing oh they're playing oh they're playing o'hawst day for sure absolutely would love tennessee to win that
game but hey let me just say something you brother let me go ahead unless you're what
i mean to see a winner of the if we do play georgia yeah yeah yeah yeah i want to just say to
you thank you for you to go in and have the strong stance you had last week after years
of you and me sitting arm and arm side by side saying the bait ten is the best
conference and then have a lapse in judgment, which yeah, it hurt me.
And I said, I said a couple things.
The new dad brain could be just un-falling, hours, hours, just not even getting
to sleep and stuff like that.
The diaper changes, the hey, do you minds?
All the hey, do you minds?
They can wear it.
All the dishes I've been worn.
And so I got my daughter out in Michigan this weekend.
I'm thinking, man, my best friends changed.
And I'm really having a hard time being present with my oldest daughter because I was so
hurt by this.
But now, dude.
And also a lot of people, they would still stand 10 toes down, but like, no, no, no, no.
that's why the SEC is so good is we can just beat up on each other and that's how it all works
that's why people take advantage us for you to come in here and get back to reality with me brother
come here come on that is amazing give me south carolina oh yeah give Nebraska
South Carolina we're beating anybody's ass right now line them up we're knocking down
Nebraska data holmesis that might be the easiest game on our schedule no sir you guys
almost lost to missou yeah Missouri is ranked missou is not that good
I don't know which Missouri team you're watching.
They started out, not so great.
The team that lost 30 to nothing in Alabama.
They started out.
Alabama just got mopped by Oklahoma.
That Missouri team is.
They started out, not so great.
They started out not so great.
You're as piss as I am.
I'm upset too.
I live-bedded Alabama three times.
Three times.
I live-betted them three times.
I saw JP even tweet and I'm like, yeah, bro.
Listen, I'll do it again.
I'll fucking do it again.
A man can only take so many would-do-your-mines
before you come in with pissing vinegar like this.
No doubt.
I get it, man.
Sorry for interrupting you.
Sorry for interrupt you.
But yeah, go ahead.
Talk about how Nebraska would be your easiest game.
They wouldn't be our easiest game because we did just play Wofford.
But it would go Wofford, Old Dominion, Nebraska.
Okay.
Missouri.
You think out of all the big 10 teams.
I think Missouri is better than Nebraska.
Okay.
Not a shot in hell.
Y'all lost to UCLA.
We did.
But that was Satterfield.
That was pre-Hulgerson.
That was pre-Hulgerson.
Pre-Hogerson.
JP, out of all people, you're going to sit there and say this Hogerson guy's not a difference maker?
He's a difference maker for sure.
Putting a sat back with the tight ends isn't a difference maker.
That Matt Ruhl just put his ego aside, everybody calling for him,
had to make a tough decision and brought in Dan Hulgerson.
Tough decision.
That might have been the easiest decision.
I'm saying you know how people get when a head coach is sitting there like,
oh, how are you going to make a decision now when you're paid millions and millions of dollars
that you think this is the best move to bring somebody new in?
Everybody wanted him to do that.
all to say, you don't think him going
Hogerson over Saddlefield is not a pivotal decision.
Yeah, it's a great decision.
But he needs two games.
I'm not going to be like this guy is the greatest
offensive coordinator in the country.
I'm not saying he's the greatest.
I'm saying we mopped the Wisconsin team
who took Oregon all the way down to the wire,
the best team in college football.
So is Wisconsin good?
If we have Hogerson, we beat Ohio State.
We don't know.
I mean, I hope y'all would.
You're right.
I don't want to speculate.
But yeah, but probably.
I would want y'all to be to Ohio State.
I want Nebraska to be the best team in the Big Ten.
Sorry.
Here's a question.
Speaking of Ohio State,
does Indiana deserve to be in the clutch full of playoff?
Yes, they deserve it, bro.
I would say when they got...
Jay, you passed me out, water.
When they got their ass kicked by Ohio State over the weekend,
which was very...
Disappointing.
I'm sitting there and I'm like, oh, damn.
The case now for Indiana to be out is very much alive and there.
But then you flip over to find...
fucking Ole Miss, Alabama, these teams that are just dropping that they should not have dropped.
Like, we will have fun and talk about the fall of the SEC and we'll badger each other and try to get under each other's skin.
But, I mean, Garrett Bama cannot get mothed by Oklahoma.
We score three points.
Ole Miss, when they have everything in front of them have paid for the roster that they've paid for.
Three interceptions in one minute.
That offense, you cannot drop that game.
You cannot drop that game.
Jackson Dart, too horny.
Couldn't do it.
Couldn't pull it off.
Yeah.
It was a tough watch, especially seeing how Ole Miss went down.
Texas A&M.
Even Colorado.
Texas A&M, bro.
You cannot lose that game.
Jordan Hare is cursed.
I mean, you heard Nick Savan say it on game day.
That place is cursed.
Everyone knows that from watching the last game.
Like, I'm glad we play Auburn at home this weekend.
Because if it was there, I don't like it at all, which is crazy to say.
What I see
Venables,
Venables?
Venables, yeah.
He's smiled the entire game.
I'm like, oh my God.
He's got like a villain smile.
He's got a villain smile.
He's got a villain smile.
I mean,
they ran basically Vandy's
offense scheme against us,
ran the ball,
which is crazy that
we still anticipated the pass.
We played 3.35 the whole game.
We didn't blitz.
We blitzed with 14 seconds left
up 42 to 7 against
Old Miss two weeks ago.
And we blitzed like four times
against Oklahoma.
Doesn't make any sense to me.
Offense, it was pretty bad.
I mean, where we've had success is running the ball,
and we try to do it again and force it.
Sometimes you've got to throw it.
When Ryan drops his first pass,
I was like, oh, we're in for one.
We're in for one.
And he did a fucking TikTok with Baby Grunk.
That's the issue right there.
It is the issue.
You get influenced by Baby Gronk's dad.
But no.
We go all the way to Norman to kick a field goal
and
but yeah, it's not good
not good at all.
Especially when it seemed like
like you guys could
kind of control your own destiny.
Well, before the game starts
because Ole Miss loses.
Alabama wins
against Oklahoma,
wins against Auburn,
you're guaranteed in
the SEC championship
and the playoff.
See,
that's the mindset
of a guy
who's seen a lot of championships.
He sees a path to the SEC championship.
And you go out there
and you fucking do
nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Now, I didn't get to watch the game.
I was in Ann Arbor. Did Oklahoma storm
the field? Twice. Twice.
They stormed with 28 seconds left.
Are we? Which is so nuts
that they can't see a clock.
Are we getting to a point?
Because every time Alabama loses,
the team storms the field.
Are we going to get to a point soon where
we're not storming the field anymore against Alabama?
Is that rain of Alabama over?
Is the question? I don't, I don't think
so. I think what's
is that DeBoer has just inherited all this shit that Alabama's given to everyone for the past?
I think Oklahoma Storm because they've had such a bad, very under-expectation year.
They've underperformed all year long.
Well, they've ruined somebody's season.
That's why.
Right.
I would say not necessarily Alabama, but the thought that they just took down Alabama with everything they've went through all year, just underperforming and then having a performance like that.
It's not like, I mean, Nebraska fans were coming off to the field.
Yeah, but that's a first bowl game.
For sure, for sure.
I'm just saying like probably the psychology.
Yeah, it's stormed the field for a bowl game.
Bro, if you're not, if you had the longest drought in college football.
It's not necessarily, it's not that we made a bowl game.
It's just the pain that has been endured for a decade, bro.
For a decade.
They're happy.
They didn't storm the field like we just upset a team.
Like they were slowly coming on the field celebrating with the players because the senior
class, some guys that stuck around that stayed with the team.
that whether they declare for the draft or hit the portal to go somewhere else,
like the group of seniors that stayed,
it was just like a,
this is a massive win for the community for the state for the end.
Who,
so who's that no tackle,
zero,
white guy,
the polar bear?
Yeah.
Polar bear is,
polar bear is zero and then Ty Robinson is nine.
That polar bear kid might be my favorite player on Nebraska.
Just always going.
He's a senior, right?
You could be having,
you're probably thinking of tie.
whoever the big dude that when we went to Michigan and we saw Mason Graham and then we went to Nebraska.
He's the one who's done like the press conferences that talk about this is what it's this is why you play for Nebraska.
I haven't seen the press conferences.
I'm talking about the big thick boy in the middle on defense.
I mean you got zero.
You got Ty.
Show me Ty real quick.
That one's tie.
Okay.
Show me the other one.
They're very similar.
Both have buzzed heads, big corn fed white boys.
Yeah, just grinders.
Yeah, this one's Nash.
Number nine is Ty and Ty Robinson.
Yeah, if this gets a senior,
nine, that's who it is.
That's who I'm looking at, nine.
Grinder.
Yeah, he's a senior, yeah.
Just seeing the effort from that boy.
And he's a senior, right?
Yeah.
Okay, I've asked that three times.
That's, that's the kind of shit.
That fires me up for a kid like that to have the motor he did.
When we saw him against Colorado, dude, I'm fired up for Nebraska.
Congratulations again.
That's amazing.
Bull game.
What are we thinking?
You go, you want the same thing as Michigan.
Yeah, I don't know.
I kind of forget how the bowl game.
games factor, but if we win when we beat Iowa this week and we're seven and five, I would almost,
or another underdogs.
I would say there will be four teams getting into the college ball playoff from the Big Ten.
I would say Nebraska will be the one that whatever, whatever bowl game gets first pick of Big Ten
will probably be salivating to get the Oscars.
So I don't know what that is.
So you think you're going like a JN1, like a Capital One bowl?
I don't know.
I don't know how the bowl games.
I don't know how they sort them.
Especially with the new playoff.
Yeah,
I wouldn't have any.
But look at our standings.
Go to our standings.
I don't play Vandy.
Yeah, you're going to have,
you're going to have pretty much all of us tied.
Well, I mean,
oh, you guys have a lot.
I hope you guys win.
I need y'all to win.
If you guys beat Ohio State,
we will all sit in there being tied.
That's what I was going to say.
Like, the bowl committee,
I would almost assume that there'll be
Salvation to try to get the Nebraska family.
Right.
So going off Michigan and Ohio State, as it stands right now, Ohio State's favored by 20 and a half points.
As it stands right now.
Hey, now here's, here's, here's, here's, you put a 50 on Northwestern.
And you know what?
Ohio State put on Northwestern, only 31.
And they let them score a touchdown.
So this is, this is the reason why I believe, and I'll talk more about this in the locker room.
I believe that this is maybe the lock pick of the year, Michigan plus 20 and a half.
Okay, plus 20.
I thought you were going to say money line.
No, no, no, no.
But there's a huge possibility for that as well.
You never know.
But if you look at just the time that I was at Michigan,
and when I was at Michigan, we were terrible.
I got to, I got a change to speak to the team today.
Or sorry, on Friday, before the Northwestern game,
which I put up the most points ever,
is that a coincidence that I'll let the fans decide?
But I spoke to them, and I even told them, like, hey, I was ass.
So thank you for bringing back the culture of Michigan.
It was amazing.
When we were as bad as we were, we ended up going seven and five on a year,
we were fighting for that six and six.
We would always be, you know, double-digit underdogs against Ohio State.
And 2013, I believe, was when Ohio State was banned because of the little tattoo scandal from going to any bowl games.
They were undefeated.
We were, we had five losses, four losses about to have five.
And it was 41, 42 with us with the ball going for two at the end of the game to win it.
And we had no business being in that game.
This is a week where if there are large lines on rivalry underdogs, this is the time to take those picks.
I love that.
You got to take those picks because it's just.
something about those colors versus the other colors and seeing them in the hatred,
they just have a way of playing up because we know Ohio State has paid for all their talent.
Ohio State has maybe the most talented team in college football.
Will they put all the other one in national championship?
I don't think so.
But you got Michigan, who they've lost a lot of guys.
They lost a head coach.
They lost their quarterback all in the time that the transfer portal was going on.
So once they leave, Sharon Moore gets in.
Now the transfer portal is like the tier two or three guys.
you haven't had a good chance to grab that chunk of the people that were grabbing them,
like Indiana was, like Nebraska was, those types of things.
I think they play up this week.
And I think covering 20 and a half is huge.
There is a world where Michigan just owns Ohio State mentally.
And they've done the last three years in a row.
And they go into Columbus, Ohio, and they shock the world.
That is a possibility.
You haven't seen them play like this this year against Northwestern.
50 points running the ball on the ground.
we had a two minute.
There was a minute and 20 seconds left.
So, 7.6 at halftime.
There was a...
I was like, they might lose the Northwest.
Hey, relax.
That's all the same when I saw the score.
Just when I checked the score.
Hey, I was thinking the same thing.
176.
I was thinking the same thing, dude.
But when we go, literally,
we're a minute and 20,
two timeouts left,
and we have the ball.
And they threw the ball.
Michigan, 24, Michigan Wolverines,
through the football
and scored a touchdown
before that.
half and then got the ball right after the half scored again just saying man oh so it was teams
looking different it was almost 10 to 6 going in a half time yes well you guys mocked them i'm just
just when i was checking the scores i was like yes was just playing this a little too tight right now
underwood was at the game brys underwood was there that's why your qb showed out a little bit
a little bit got a lot of chains on for a high school football player i'll say that he had a lot of chains on
that makes me a little bit nervous bag old tom he was rolling he was rolling like 20 people too also
makes me nervous.
I know, dude.
He had an entourage with the large...
He had a squad.
He had a squad.
Detroit kid.
Detroit kids.
He had a bunch of people with him.
Stallions was not there.
Stalian was in the parking lot.
He's not a lot in the building, I don't think.
But Chris Bryant was like, hey, Taylor, meet Bryce.
I was, hey, man, good to meet you.
Your first game.
He's like, no, I've been like four years.
I'm like, oh, my fault.
He definitely had a...
He had an oar about him.
I'll say that.
He had an o'er.
He had an o'er.
I'm him about him.
He did a big dog, but he definitely had no fucking clue who I was.
All good.
Just go and win games, brother.
You don't have to know who I am.
Don't ever open up that DM that I sent you three weeks ago about coming to Michigan.
Don't do it.
Don't need to.
But now as kids from Alice, you calling, how much am I offering?
I've committed some money to Michigan.
I did that this weekend.
I told them, hey, you guys need a little something I got you.
Not going to do the Portnoy method.
It's not going to have two commas.
But I'll help out.
Let me get like a, yeah, let me get one of the mini-fridges named after me.
You know what I'm saying?
That's one of a little.
mini fridge named after me in the in the uh shembeckler hall but kids from ls u are calling are calling
michigan saying hey we want to play with underwood gee i hate putting salt in the wound but that tackle
from alabama that five-star kid that everyone's raving about that's coming into alabama we're on the street
is he wants to flip and out of michigan so this is we have depth this is a domino i know i know listen
i get it Alabama's big and bad for now i get it it's just lost to alcona tv barely made a bowl
Right, right, all good
And I kind of just explain why that's all good
So I'm just saying there is a change of the guard happening at Michigan
Yet again
A lot of things to be excited about yet again boys
I will see you guys in 2025
Are you going to the game this weekend?
No, no, I'm going to hang out of my family and do that
Ohio State Michigan
I will watch it
I will watch it from home
It's going to be amazing I can't wait
I can't wait and we're going to Vegas next week Jack
Are you prepared that
If Michigan doesn't cover
that that potentially goes down on you
and your fandom
and you carrying the torch
from Michigan?
Yeah, me, yeah,
if we don't cover 20 and a half points
and I am sitting on the bus right now
saying we're going to cover 205 points
and we don't do that, yeah, it's on me, sure.
It could be on the 150 guys that play the game,
but yeah, I'll be there,
I'll take some of that, weight on my shoulders,
I get it.
JP, where is South Carolina at?
Where are you guys positioned?
Because obviously I love just...
The road's there.
Would love a South Carolina.
Nebraska game just for us for the path is there if South Carolina does make it
we're going to piss off almost the whole country because we would be the only three
lost team and no matter what I believe is there a path like is there a path where the
country so the biggest thing that would have to happen is Tennessee losing to
Vanderbilt and I think if that happens and we beat Clemson convincingly it is
that 12th spot would I think go to us
based off rankings because Clemson right now and the AP is ranked like 13 you'd probably also need Texas to beat Georgia
Alabama right was Clemson 14 yeah Clemson might be 12 but would you also need Texas to kind of be Georgia just to make it that much more definitive
is that at that point Georgia's a that's in the SEC championship yeah like one of those ones yeah really we would need my
That's what it is.
We need Syracuse to beat Miami
so that Clemson goes to the ACC championship
and that we have the win,
a big win over the ACC champion.
I would love that chaos.
You got to bet all those games this weekend.
I truly would love that chaos.
What's crazy is Clemson moving up so far.
I would love to see Michigan beat Ohio State
just for next week.
We all come in and we're back shitting on the Big Ten.
Like the Big Ten, how do they lose the Michigan?
No, no, we're not shooting on the Big Ten.
No, I know, but.
It's the best conference.
We just beat up on each other.
just this time of year.
Hey, look how dumb this is, though.
Because this past weekend, South Carolina was ranked 18 and Clemson was ranked 17.
Clemson beat Citadel.
They moved all the way up to 12.
We beat Wofford and moved two spaces over to 16.
How does Clemson go all the way to 12?
It sets up this weekend.
Yeah, but it's just dumb.
You know, Sweeney's got some connect on the inside.
Whatever.
You know he does.
That's the same reason.
Dude, the chaos this weekend in all of football,
really you mentioned the rivalry
underdogs like divisional underdogs
in the NFL this weekend.
Yeah.
You got the Browns, you got the Titans,
you got the Cowboys.
Cowboys, man.
That game was insane.
Two missed PATs by the commanders.
Yeah.
Crazy.
Though last one of the...
And dude, here's the problem.
Even though the Cowboys won,
both teams did try to lose.
Both teams tried to lose that game.
But being a...
and 11 personnel and 12 personnel,
offset gun for the Cowboys in four minute,
the most blasphemous fucking thing
I've ever seen in my entire life.
That is crazy.
How are you not 13 personnel, run the ball,
two hands on the ball,
stay in bounds, no penalties.
That is the rule is a four minute.
Under center, run power, run duo, run kick.
Yeah, if you're throwing balls,
they're running some bullshit, dude.
Just crazy.
Just because, yeah, a boot.
Yeah, you can, you can, you can do a little, it's just, it's just, well, as a special teams guy, the end of that Cowboys, uh, Commander's game, they kicked that on side and Cowboys snagged it and ran it in.
Yeah, you got to go down.
You got to go down.
You got to go down.
The game's over.
But if that's you, then you give a chance.
That day had a hell merry shot there at the end.
But if that's you, though, and you got a clear lane to the end zone, are you going to the end zone?
Are you going to the end zone?
No, no, I'm going down.
I'm going down.
I'm sliding.
I'm doing something.
I might go head first, five, you know what I mean?
Yeah, fumble, I might fumble.
You would get hawk.
You got hawk.
I'm not getting hawk.
Even if I got hawked, I'm going to stiff arm.
I'm like, oh, Sequin did the 58 or 56 last night for the Rams.
True.
I forgot you were saying.
Is Seekoine MVP?
Is Seekoine starting to get that MVP?
Seekon's in the conversation.
God's for sure in the conversation.
He's on pace to break the rushing record.
Eagles seem like they're showing more and more.
They're that team right now.
Siriani.
The physicality of the.
Eagles, man. Teams play them close until halftime.
And then it just,
Eagles lean on them.
Katz are not, like, I thought the Rams had a good
shot to beat them. And they just don't have
the, they just don't have the horses to do it.
They don't.
Hell of a center for the Eagles.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, Jirgin. Yeah, Jirgin.
Beef Jirgy. Some Jirgy.
You're eating the best guy?
Yeah. He's got, he's got some beef jerky.
Taking over.
Man.
Maleta, how do you say his name?
Yeah, how do you? Myelada.
Myelada.
Myelada puts him on his back and talk shit to him when Fist
gets his sack.
Myelada put Verst down on the ground.
It's like talking shit to him.
And then verse just runs through his face, bro.
I mean, what a match up.
The Rams got a great young D-Line, bro.
All their starters across the D-line for the Rams are all,
they're all draft picks in these last two classes.
Like, they're going to be nasty.
They're going to be dangerous, bro.
But the Eagles just have such a good offensive.
I mean, they're running game.
They have A.J. Brown.
I mean.
Yeah, if you want to bet on the Eagles, where would you go?
Draft Kings.
Drive Kings.
By the way,
draft king's like hand up jesson jefferson didn't get your touchdown pass i know we're trying to score

What a call by Delaney.
What a call.
Yeah, that was the most insane stat, dude.
Yeah, Delaney.
Took that out of nowhere.
Most 98-yard touchdowns this season.
Great, thank you, Delaney.
And it calls NWI.
And G-M-G drops that text in the group chat on Westbrook,
and I'm watching the Vikings game just getting so pissed off.
There was one that they had a nice, deep one to Justin.
And he got held on.
on a PI, he kind of had to track it differently.
Yeah.
And I was so mad, dude.
We've got to get to be Justin Jefferson.
It's getting to the point where we have to hit one of these,
but the boys parlayers just by the end of the season.
It'll happen.
Don't even think about a streak right now.
Let's just think we're running out of time.
Josh Jacobs.
But dude, I thought about that too.
He had three touchdowns.
I was thinking, oh, man, this is going to be my guy this week.
But I just feel like when you have that many touchdowns,
and next week it just doesn't happen.
We all we have to, we have to get.
And they play on the Lions.
No, they don't.
We have to get right on the Lions.
Almost everyone scores.
Yeah, I know.
When I saw Jemir Gibbs again, I'm like,
the only time Jemir Gibbs doesn't score
is when we bet on Jemir Gibbs.
It's like the kiss of death for those guys right now.
The only reason why NFL players should watch the locker room
is to make sure that they're not picked.
Have y'all picked Sikwan yet?
Yeah.
Yeah, Sikwan's been picked.
I don't think we got them.
I think it was like maybe the one game this year he didn't score.
Sequin should have been the lineup so much so that we eliminated him like we did Derek Kennedy.
Yeah, you might as well just called dibs on him this week.
Sequin, no, I want to get in the trenches again.
I feel like I got to get one that's like Westbrook-esque.
Westbrook is the most insane.
The most insane thing.
I love how we have not hit one, but we still want to keep moving the goal boost back farther.
Let's just get even more day.
Hey, hey, Bo Nix.
Bo Nix?
Real.
Bo Nix, bro.
I don't hate it.
But there's so many other.
I'm just talking about them in general.
Offensive rookie of the year.
A professional.
Professional, bro.
And those who are listening to the show right after we film this,
we are flying to Chicago to do pro football football show,
great opportunity for you to put it down Big Cat's throat.
We already started to last week with Bo Nix.
Yeah.
True professional, man.
Yeah.
Big Cat, he's a Bo Lever now.
That's what he says.
But yeah, bro, Bo Nix.
He's humming.
About 19, since October has started.
Since October football.
almost 1900 passing yards 15 touchdowns and two interceptions yeah they got Broncos got their guy
they have a great defense Broncos could get spicy they should have if they didn't get their
field goal blocked by the Chiefs should have beat the Chiefs but this is a real this is a real
football team right here Chiefs got closer to the Panthers this isn't like a question mark
mark like I would say you could put a question mark now on the Houston Texas say that again I like
The Broncos aren't a team that has like a question mark on them.
Like they're a solid football team who could win in the playoffs.
Who could win a game or two in the playoffs?
They don't have a question mark like I would say the Houston Texas type of question.
I just feel like something's up in Houston.
Something's going on.
Something's definitely going on.
The sophomore slump a little bit.
I mean, they got so many weapons.
Can we pull up CJ Stroud's stats?
I'm surprised that they're not playing to a level.
You know what it could be.
Stefan Diggs.
He's hurt right now.
I know, but I'm talking about culture-wise.
When he was in Buffalo, people were talking about
culture all the time, those types of things.
Maybe it comes in.
I don't know about this one guy, bro.
You got Tank Del Nico Collins in that room.
It's not like they're leaning on Stefan Diggs to be the guy.
I mean, he's not.
Yeah, it's not terrible.
No, it's not at all.
He's playing well.
He's probably had a better stat line from his rookie season up to this point than he does now.
Yeah, he came on the same crazy last year.
Do the Titans?
Now correct me, because I haven't followed the division with the AFC South.
They got a shot.
Oh, they got a shot.
Do the Titans have a shot to win it now?
I mean, the Colts lost.
We talked about it last week, like the Houston Texans who were like,
we just thought we're going to run away with it.
They're only a game up like two games, right?
Yeah.
Like the Titans have a chance to go and win it.
2019.
You said actually this last week.
Yeah.
You said that.
One game.
Yeah, you're right.
One game at a time.
The Jags.
I mean, that's a dumb.
I'm done.
I'm done.
Betting against the Lions.
Yeah, why?
Done.
Well, because all these...
It's so...
All these bigger lines, I'm thinking, they'll win.
I'm not saying they're going to lose.
I'm saying they're going to win, but one of these teams will cover.
But I'm done.
Against the spread, they might be on the...
Or they might be just...
They're like...
They've only lost two to the spread.
They've only lost two of the spread this year.
Oh, okay.
Let me...
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a tough one.
I think they're like six and a half point underdogs.
Hey, I mean, they can...
Titans can win, bro.
I mean, the commanders, you got a, you got to, you got a...
The way that the Cowboys are playing,
you've got to beat down a team like the Cowboys.
It could be kind of, everything could be kind of catching up to the commanders a little bit.
Not catching up like they're a bad team, but they're obviously beatable.
Hey, listen, it is.
You drop a game like that, especially when you play poorly at special teams, man.
Special teams is deciding football games.
Kickers are deciding football games.
Bears win if they don't get two field goes blocked.
And interception that ends up being a DPI.
Yeah.
It's, and you bring up the Bears, bears are playing the Lions.
Thanksgiving yeah 10 and a half point underdogs they're gonna cover lines are
cover I don't know I was like dude I was looking at it last night and I was re-watching
because I was flying all day yesterday I was rewatching the Bears Vikings and Caleb Williams
some of the throws he's making are fucking yeah he had a real game he was throwing piss missiles
to Ken and Allen he was actually dishy it all over the field it's a it's a world where maybe
ten and a half's not crazy well look the way I the way the game
gambling gods treat me.
I'm going to take the lions this week.
Which means they're not going to cover.
Check out the locker room,
which shows that the Bears
is probably going to win this game.
It all depends on how you bet.
Yeah.
But you did get,
you got Kansas City when you finally bet on,
I'm sorry,
you got bills two weeks ago.
Yeah,
and I should have took the fucking Panthers.
Panthers covered against the Chiefs.
I know.
I know.
They,
Panthers came back a little bit,
right?
Because they were,
Bryce Young was looking nice.
Bryce Young's been looking good
since he came back in.
Come on, ma'am.
I don't know
something's up with the Chiefs too
Like are they just gonna do this bullshit the whole year
Where they barely win games
The whole time
I know trust me I'm with you
I'm trying to
I'm trying to just pick it my brain
And just say all right
Where could I be
Where could a blind spot be with the Chiefs
The Chiefs could just be fucking around
Like just seeing what what works best
Let's try to find new fun
It's like us
It's like I bet the boys parley's
But they're winning them
And like let's try to fuck around
And see different ways they're sitting
In their staff rooms
And just looking at
Hey in the Red Zone
Let's get worthy going a little bit
let's see if this package works.
Right.
They play the regular season like a preseason.
Yeah.
Just trying different shit out.
I'm with you.
It is crazy.
I'm with you.
They don't seem strong.
They don't seem strong.
But they,
the way that they lost one or nine and one,
whatever the record is.
10 and 9 and 1.
It's 10 or 9 and 1, right?
10 and 1, yeah?
10 and 1 does not look like the line.
Correct.
Their 10 and 1 is not this dominating like lions.
Lions, Eagles,
to where they're just starting to press teams.
If the Chiefs played the Lions right now,
Lions being up by double digits
You think you would think
Vegas would put
I would know
At like minus or plus 10 and a half
Dogg
I'm telling you
The lions are that fucking good right now
They probably go lions minus two and a half
And the lions will win by like
20 points
It is wild
I mean their defense
Like you said suffocates you
Yeah
They will not let you go anywhere
And their offense is a fucking machine
They scored 24 points this weekend
It was like
with one of their worst point games.
You know.
Just bad.
You know who I'm like, fuck.
The run could be done right now.
No, the Niners.
Oh, yeah, dude.
I know.
And Kittle had himself a day yesterday.
And I am so fucking stupid.
Why?
Because you didn't know Brock Purdy was out?
I officially changed my pick.
I saw the line move like the Niners got five and a half points or six points all of a sudden.
And look, when it was Friday going into Saturday, we're going, Nebraska.
Nebraska is going bowling.
Like, I wasn't.
check in many of the headlines.
Like I didn't know Brock Purdy got benched until after I made my official,
not bench,
but he was hurt.
Yeah.
Until I made my official switch.
And then I'm sitting there watching the Packers beat the shit out of the Niners.
And I'm thinking to myself,
because even when I saw Purdy,
when he goes down,
I'm like, okay,
maybe some backup magic for a game.
But then I'm thinking to myself,
I picked the Packers when they were just favored by two and a half,
and the line moves three points.
And all of a sudden I think that's worth going to the Niners.
Like Brock Purdy plus two and a half is not as favorable
as a backup quarterback plus five and a half.
That's as dumb as it gets.
It's not just brought pretty. Nick Bosa was out too. Trent Williams was out.
Kiddle was hurt.
Got her. He played.
Right, but he's hurt now.
I'm just saying like, I'm so fucking stupid.
I'm watching that.
I'm watching that.
Newborn baby at home.
I know, but again, if I would, not at,
number one, I should have checked.
I should have checked to knew that Purdy was out.
And even when I stuck.
to it because I'm like okay maybe the backup
he'll make something shake and I'm sitting there I'm like
do I really think this backup QB with three
extra points is what's a better bet than
the one I previously already made with the Packers?
I'm so stupid dude
and Josh Jacobs too dude there he had multiple
runs on the five three or
five yard line where there was no holes and he just
decided to put his shoulder and the rest of his big boys
just run yeah like the kid
squats a G
like it's insane
he I mean
I'll tell you
I'll tell you which one
Packers are spot on
Jordan Love too
is another one
that's just like
he's just throwing the rock
at a different velocity
than everybody else
Yeah
and he's gonna continue to get better
That's how he got
That's how it was last year
I mean they were
They were fend to beat the
Niners
Yeah
Those last two minutes
Right
What
They're fin to beat them
They're just fin to beat their ass
Who is
I'll tell you what I was spot on about
And that was
Notre Dame Army
Spot on
about Notre Dame Army.
And before we get into
Notre Dame Army,
this read is from Sport Clips.
This football season,
don't walk around with helmet hair like a total rookie.
You've been in the game long enough
to know that how you wear your hair matters.
And just because your team mascot
is a Wolverine doesn't mean you have to look like one up top.
Keep your head in the game and go to Sport Clips.
Their pro stylists have mastered the X and O's of men's hair
so you can get a tight fade while kicking back
and watching some fade routes.
It's called a Hell Mary,
not a Hair Mary.
So don't just go anywhere.
Head over to the pros in men's hair.
They will have a perfectly crafted game plan to make you look your best.
No halftime adjustments needed.
This week, Will Compton.
He's the pro in haircuts because Sherm,
Sherman Young are producer in the back.
He has to get a buzz cut for losing the Notre Dame Army game.
We had a money-line bet there.
Remember the difference between an okay cut and a great cut of sport called sport clips.
It's a game changer.
And I will be buzzing Sherman's hair because of that asshole.
And I do want to say to my soul,
I hated shouting anti-America last week for God.
That was insane for religion.
I know.
It did pain me.
Also, I haven't been to church in a minute.
It did pain me.
But I knew that that's how the game was going to shake.
You know in the first two drives, it was a wrap.
Yeah.
It's just a different game out there.
Army scoring that one touchdown super early gave me so much hope.
Just because they kept showing the quarterback and talking about how he,
how he's on pace for all these touchdowns in a season.
His old man, he played Texas football like he's built for this moment.
I was also
I was never super high on Army
I was never crazy about Army
Come on Sherry, come on Sherrme
Come on, land the plane
I just hate Notre Dame
I hate him so much
I don't want them to make the playoff
I'm pissed
Everybody's stroking them
because they beat a military academy
by 30 plus something points
It's crazy it blows my mind
It blows my mind
You know what you should
And I just thought
A team that you were like
They should be in the college football
Playoff.
I thought they could mess around.
And Notre Dame,
I don't think highly.
Mop the team like that by 30.
I know.
A playoff caliber team.
Well, I mean, we're having fun here.
We just,
we want them to make the playoffs.
We're having a good time.
For the sake of this show and people watching,
should we go and quickly go buzz Sherman's hair
and come back so people that are watching
show can enjoy seeing his head shaved?
Yeah.
We can put them in the sport clip share
after the show.
We'll buzz it.
Okay.
I think it'd be funny
if you would just cut right to Shirm
now having a buzz cut.
We could do that?
I think it'd be funny.
Okay.
All right, let's go Buzz his head.
Let's go Buzz his head.
Good call, good call.
Let's go Buzz his head.
All right.
We just buzzed Shirm's head.
Let's go to the camera.
Let's go to the back of the bus.
Sherm, go ahead, reveal.
Yeah.
Got the show gun going.
How do we feel Shirm?
I'm, dude, walked in.
I feel good.
I still hate Notre Dame.
This doesn't change anything.
I feel like the lesson that I learned from this bet is don't let hatred feel a bet,
but also trust your boys with a buzzer.
That was actually kind of nice.
It was like nice everybody's standing around.
They're like, whoa, hey, actually it kind of looks okay.
We learned from sport clips.
We did.
Yeah, we did.
So people were even saying like, hey, what if the whole team just went buzz cuts,
which would be sick.
There is, there's talks going on.
Would you do that?
Yeah, if we do a buzz cut part of like,
I was prepared if Army,
if Army won, I had,
I would have had to be the one
and get my head shot.
True. You've already put yourself
in that fire.
Yeah, yeah.
This was actually like,
this wasn't that bad.
It's not a terrible look.
Yeah.
I'd like to go a couple guards up
if I did mind.
Oh my gosh, the pony in the back.
That thing is nuts.
And we put that,
so we put that in a pony
before we shaved his head.
A lot of that hair is being held up
by the tie.
Should I,
should I pull the tie?
No, don't, don't pull.
Don't pull.
Don't touch it.
Yeah,
don't touch you.
Down the bus.
Yeah, not on the bus.
We'll keep the bus clean.
But yeah,
we should do like a,
make up like a parlay,
a buzz cup barlay,
live stream a game.
If our parlay doesn't hit,
our whole squad's got a buzz on it.
I'm with that.
I'm with it.
And, you know, fans who want to engage
and take the parlay with us.
They got a buzz as well.
They got a buzz as well.
If we all lose,
they just drop.
Photos.
Yeah.
Hey hey in the back in the back
They drop hashtag buzzcut parlay
So if we lose
And fans who engage with us
That want to go into the parlay with us
If we lose that parlay
We all get buzzcuts
Can it at least be like a
Like a nice done part
We should get Alan in here
Get somebody from sport clips
Yeah
Even better
Yeah Alan from sports clips
Yeah sport clips
Yeah sport clips
Hey great work Sherm
I agree with the voice
Stay tuned
Stay tuned on the bus
It looks better.
You look,
you look handsome.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I feel handsome.
Do you?
You cold?
Yeah, why'd you stick with the shirt off?
There's so much hair.
So much hair.
Okay, yeah.
When I just shook my head right there,
I mean, I was like...
Scattered it down?
Oh, disgusting amount of hair.
So I'm not going to move, really, for the rest of the one.
You look, saw it with the shaved head.
It'd be interesting to see Mitch with the shaved head.
I had a shaved head for the first.
first 22 years of my life.
Like buzzed like that?
Oh yeah.
Really?
I didn't do anything.
So you're used to that.
Oh yeah.
I mean, I haven't done.
I like my parents were like,
you should just get a buzz because it's like clean cut and fine.
Yeah.
And then my friends finally bullied me enough.
Like hey, you,
you look stupid.
Oh, okay.
So it wasn't good.
No,
I know.
I'm not surprised you went 22 years of your life just getting the high school.
High school, I had the buzz head.
I had the bus head in high school thinking like this is probably the best move.
I don't want to put stuff in my hair.
All ball all the time.
You did rock a buzz.
I rocked a little buzz.
Pull it up, dude.
My hair line would be tough right now with the buzz.
Oh yeah, yeah, back in the day, me as Sherman High School?
I love that.
Shaptown.
That knowledge came for me purely just the amount of times I've Googled Young Taylor Rue.
That's a little buzz.
A young Taylor Rooke.
Yeah, I do that.
I had a rookie haircut.
Did you ever get a rookie haircut?
Uh-uh.
Must be nice, man.
Yeah, I was lucky.
My rookie haircut was I had all this right here shaved off.
I only had like this little part right here and then this.
So if I had a hat on, it looked totally normal.
It took my hat off.
It was like, it was rough.
It was a rough look for a little bit.
Bit of a skinhead look.
Bit of a skin head.
Yeah, I definitely had that American History X look to me.
Look at that boy right there.
At that USC.
Oh, everyone.

He was a captain. Was a captain for the team. But it was awesome, man. And what else was cool, too,
was obviously I was like an honorary captain. We go out there from the beginning, got a nice
little applause, which is great. But Jake Long was there. Jake Long was on my flight from Nashville
to Michigan. And Jake Long, you guys know this, but some people who are watching the show for the
first time, like the reason why I wore number 77 is because of Jake. Like, the reason why I went
to Michigan is a big reason because of Jake. And him, his, you guys, you guys. And him,
his wife, his kids were there.
Jake and I are so different.
So opposite human beings.
Because people were like going up to him, giving him love.
And you could just tell he's like uncomfortable with like people knowing who he is and like
celebrating him.
People coach me.
I'm like,
David Lai, thanks man.
This is awesome.
I appreciate you.
But like dude,
Jake is like he is the 77 goat at Michigan.
Him and John Jensen.
For the honorary captain stuff,

They said it should feel illegal to feel this good before a game.
He told me.
Good shoulder.
Oh, good times.
Dude.
But yeah, man, it was a lot of fun.
A lot of fun.
I want to do shout-out, no free shout-out real quick.
And I want to shout out Harry Potter.
My daughter.
So my daughter, these photos, you're pulling up.
So my daughter's been, my daughter's been super into like the idea of Harry Potter.
Obviously, Spooktober just happened.
She was big into witches and all that stuff and alchemy and wands and brooms.
Hocus, the whole thing.
She catches wind from one of the kids at her school about Harry Potter.
So it's learned about in the first movie.
He kills the snake, all these things.
He's the boy who lives.
She's like, where is the boy who live mean?
Who is he who should not be named?
All of these things.
Yeah.
So she wants to watch the movie.
You look it up.
It's like kids with big imaginations should not watch this movie
until they're at least eight or nine years old.
So I told her, hey, eight, when you're eight,
you can watch a movie.
But we're out in Ann Arbor, and it's like,
our flight's at 430 yesterday.
So we're kind of just cruising around State Street.
There's like this old, like, bookstore.
So we cruise in there.
We go and they have like first edition books of Harry Potter.
But then they have like the ones you would just buy, like, as a kid.
And we bought the first book.
And we read like the first 50 pages of that book yesterday.
And just reading the book,
man literally kind of makes you it makes you like so nostalgic thinking about like i remember
being eight nine 10 years old when the first movie came out and being so fired up at the
possibility of getting the letter from hoggwards and now watching win be like i she's like
okay so harry potter's 11 i'm like yeah she's like okay so i have four more years and then i could
possibly get the letter like she's like talking about going to hoggworts now and i'm reading
the book door and she's like stopping me asking questions she's like so she's
She learns about Voldemore.
She goes, so Voldemore tried to kill Harry and killed the parents.
Like you got to keep reading to find out.
So, okay, there's different schools, like different classes in Hogwarts.
Like, what are the, and I was like, got to find out.
So she's like super into it.
Took the book to school today.
So shout out Harry Potter and that nostalgia, man.
It is, it is just cool.
You know, you got to prep her with like some preliminary letter for Christmas or something like that.
I get her going on that.
She has a little mailbox to Santa right now.
She's like funneling letters in every single day too.
She's like, she is peak kid right now.
All about Santa.
Like she hasn't found out yet that it's all a lie.
She hasn't found out.
She's so into the idea of becoming a wizard.
Seven.
Okay.
She's got.
Maybe.
With school, dude, you never know.
Like, this could be the last year that Wynn really believes in Santa.
Maybe.
Remember my story?
You were like 14, right?
Yeah, but I was going, and I was going toes with people at the cafeteria table because my, my parents had such a great job of being like, I'm like, I understand.
Yeah, you guys go to midnight mass and come back.
I know what you're saying, but I swear to God, I saw this man.
So you guys can say what you want, but I saw him with my own eyes.
Dude, we'll do this thing on Christmas Eve where after the kids go to sleep and we'll watch the cameras.
We'll say like, when's like starting to fall asleep?
I'll walk, I'll put these big boots on.
I'll take big steps.
I'll yell ho, ho, ho, like jingle these bells around.
And every time she pops her head out, she's like, she's like, knows.
She knows he's in the building.
She like brings it up.
She's like last year I was like falling asleep and I heard him.
I heard him dad.
I was like, no, you really hurt him.
He's here.
He was there.
So it's Pete Kidd right now.
And I am dreading the day because she also asked me questions like,
Dad, you've never lied to me, right?
And I literally the thing that crosses my mind is like Easter Bunny, Santa and Wizards.
And I'm thinking, no, honey, I've never lied to you, knowing good and well that she's going
to find out someday that I've lied to her face.
Someday she will.
She's going to listen to this far.
Someday she will, man.
I know. I've worried about clips coming up sometimes.
What other ad reads do we have, Sherim?
We have.
Because I have a shoutout as well.
Game time.
Were we at Game Time?
You love me.
I'm going to rip.
I have a, I have a, I mean, it's an all right shout out, but I have a shout out.
But before we get there, let's shout out game time.
Football season is here, and we can't wait to get out some games this fall.
With the help of Game Time, the official ticketing partner of Barstle Sports,
you know how much we love Game Time.
And now with their brand new game time picks feature,
they're making it even easier to get to a game.
Game time picks filters out to fluff to show you only incredible deals on great seats
so you don't have to waste time searching through thousands of tickets.
We were looking at possibly going to the South Carolina Clemson game.
We saw an amazing deal in game time picks for great seats.
Just pull up your chosen event and turn on the GT pick setting at the top of the screen
or browse the best local game time picks deal near you on your game time app homepage.
What are you waiting for?
Go check out those Nebraska, Iowa.
seats those tickets right now
with game time picks.
What time is it?
Game time.
Is Iowa in Nebraska?
Is it at Iowa?
Yeah.
Love it.
Love it.
Let's go on the road.
Let's go on there.
If I'm going to start being this confident,
like we've got the,
who knows how good of a team Iowa is.
They're a little streaky.
I think they're on like a linebacker as their quarterback right now.
They're two starting quarterbacks I think are out.
Like we should beat this team's ass.
But yeah, let's go on the road.
Let's go to a hostile environment like Iowa.
Let's take over their state.
and let's take over their cattle let's take over their corn take over everything everything they
love it's good to see september will back yeah it's good to see september will back
i was so fired up watching that game on saturday yeah you guys dominated and you're sitting there
you're like man everybody has to feel so happy that we finally just got over this fucking hump dude
just lighter brighter brighter brighter because i tell you what when we lost to ucla i'm just
just thinking, holy hell.
Yeah.
And we all felt that too.
When you guys lost UCLA, it was like,
here we fucking go again.
Like, what if they don't even make a bowl game?
I know you were thinking that also like,
holy shit.
How do you lose to the Bruins?
When you go out to Columbus and play like,
and have a chance to win that game and then you just
lose at home to the Bruins,
a shitty football team.
Dominated by them.
Dominated by him. All four quarters.
I'm just sitting here.
We're going into a buy week.
Not a time you want to go into a by week.
I'm truly thinking like,
This might happen again to us.
This might happen again to us.
Thank God for Hogerson, man.
Thank God for Ogreson.
And all the boys, too.
Hogan is it for president.
He challenged the receivers last week.
I publicly stepped out.
I talked about, yeah, you block like shit on the perimeter.
If you're going to get the rock, you're going to block.
Block for the rock.
And the boys are humming.
Running backs are running through people.
I'm talking about moves I haven't seen all year long.
Like the boys are playing inspired football.
And you just see they got some juju right now.
Now you got a chance.
Yeah.
Was it a trophy you all play for?
It's a big piece of corn.
The heroes, the heroes game.
Heroes trophy?
Yeah, big piece of corn.
It is.
No, it's like a, I mean, it's a pretty big trophy.
We did hoist it in my years there.
But yeah, big game this weekend.
My shout-out, no, free shout-out goes to great fathers.
Great fathers.
We're all very aware of the inequities that go on between men and women in parenthood.
And my shout-out goes to those men, those troops, those fathers out there bridging the gap.
We're talking about when.
We're talking about guys like your.
You're just like myself, guys who are also proud enough to talk about the stats and the numbers that they put up on a weekly basis to help their significant other, to help their wife.
Just bridge that gap.
To take on the mental lows.
Oh, let me think about dinner.
Let me make dinner.
Let me do the dishes.
You watch football.
I'm sitting there just greasing the dishes yet last night.
Charles watching football.
I'm going to watch football.
Get off your feet.
You've went through.
Hell, let me handle this for you.
Making dinner.
Heating up dinner.
Making different dinners.
Got to heat up Charles, got to make ruse, got to make myself a little bit of a plate.
We had some Thai basil chicken I found on Pinterest last night.
Yeah, yeah.
So I made that.
Your boy, look at scrubbing the dishes.
I had to get a flick.
I had to set it up, put the timer on, get a little flick.
My wife, she's sitting there with the two girls.
They're watching football.
I want to say, who was playing on this game last night?
The Broncos had just scored.
It was Broncos Raiders.
And your boy's just grinding away in the kitchen.
How did you get that photo?
Don't know.
Don't know how that photo came about.
out, man.
You know I got cameras all over my house.
But set up the timer.
Set up the timer.
I was like, oh, this would be perfect.
Definitely not outside.
Just thinking about my girl Paige out there, watching from afar, just seeing this dad being
the trenches, mad, mad.
Just number after number.
But yeah, that's my shout-on-known-for-shot-up.
That's awesome.
To the great dads out there, to the dads in the trenches, the proud fathers in the trenches,
bridging the gap of inequality between husbands and wives.
People don't talk about dads enough.
Yeah.
People don't get after it and understand that we get it.
Moms, you're the heroes of the household.
You're heroes.
but dad's man.
Yeah, we got, you know, I know you saw, we were at war with the, uh, with the haters of
postpartum fathers last week.
We were at war.
I mean, you've won them all.
Fortunately, fortunately, you know, there's been a couple.
There's been a couple dicey ones that I haven't really came back from.
Like what?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm sure there are a couple.
Yeah.
But, ma'am.
I'm sure she had no idea what she was getting into.
She didn't.
She had no clue.
You know, and I'm for her.
cause of pushing that. I just, if I was in her, you know, advisory board, it'd be, let's encourage
the fathers out there that are showing themselves. Not like trying to get off your high horse.
Not trying to drag examples that you see out there. Clearly, Hugh has, she had no clue that we
were in the middle of a joke of me venting those numbers. I remember going home that day and telling
Char, I was like, hey, sweetheart, just FYI, I vented a little bit on the pod. I pumped my numbers a little bit.
And I had a little good time with the boy. She's like, oh, I can't wait for that clip.
When she came out of stats.
going viral and the next thing you know
I'm getting back from Chicago
on Thursday and I see this happening
I'm like we got another cold war
coming boys she had no clue
what she was getting into
she had no clue what she was getting into
you see yeah
I saw the boys in there doubling down with her
you were one
Taylor was one
Shirm was one I'd Shirm you might have
DM'd her he probably did
you DM'd no he said okay to send
did he actually send that DM?
Yes.
Yeah, he actually sent the DM.
That's a little much.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
I'm like, Sherim, what are you doing?
I was hoping to get under,
getting the other side of enemy lines.
Get her on my side for a second
and stab her right in the back.
My boy, Nick Hallett,
he sent me a screenshot that he had deemned her.
And she, like, laughed at his response.
Why did he be able to?
What did you tell her?
He's like, I'll keep that between us.
So there's some of my own guys
working behind the scenes.
But she messaged me and talking about how she's disappointed me,
being a girl with that,
like mentioning that kind of stuff,
yada, yada, yada.
I'm thinking about she DM'd you yeah oh she was staying too serious yeah she's one of those
she saw that I was starting to clap back and everything else because I said yapping for four minutes
obviously again leaning into the joke like you don't know what younger you're walking into just
know you're about to get bit and she's like oh I as a girl dad yada yada and like I understand
where she's coming from however the disappointing thing is you're not doing your own due diligence
on your boy you see a clip a viral clip you just want to make content you want to try and drag
me through the mud like you're messing with the wrong one i'm the wrong example to do this with
and we're about to show you you reach i teach you reach i teach yeah yeah yeah if anything i'm a potential
ally of her she just doesn't know it she doesn't and you know what the way this could work out is
she could become an ally she could become an ally she could become an ally but she she should see if
she wants to come on the bus it just depends if she wants to bend the knee or not yeah send her merch
for sure need to send her merch yeah and great shout out right now she could be
there shirm i was telling her at the end of my little four-minute video the next day
had an opportunity to start pushing our black friday merch we got new boy mom stuff new girl
dad stuff we got a lot of fun merch dropping there's a sick be a fucking wolf hoodie taylor's got on
right now with the boys up front it's got this whole design on the back if you guys were watching last
week you saw it but be a fucking wolf on the back um we got some girl dad social club stuff coming
out we got a lot of fun merch stuff dropping on black friday you'll get 20% off 20% off yeah it's gonna be
all time big weekend
for the boys. Big weekend for the boys. Got to be pushing merch. Huge weekend. But you got a,
you got a dad in mind, you got a boy mom in mine, go ahead and buy him some merch. If you're
dad yourself and you're looking for some merch to represent being a proud girl dad, you can buy it
at our store. And there's nothing wrong with you as a father buying that merch for yourself
to represent. Because I think a lot of fathers want somebody else to get it for them. There's no
shade and going to store.com to brusseldoporosports.com forward slash busting with the boys and
get yourself some girl dad merch yourself. Yeah. And it's being like, I'm going to do this not only for me
but for all my kids. Yeah. So people know.
that I'm taking this step forward.
And if somebody's expecting,
what better way to enter for that baby
to enter the world
with some girl, dad merch
or some boy mom merch.
Beautiful.
Big weekend, fellas.
Big weekend for Black Friday.
Yeah, big weekend for Black Friday.
And all of Barstow, really,
there's probably going to be
a lot of awesome merch on the store.
Store.orgal.com.
That's right.
What we got else?
What else?
Twist a question.
Twist a question.
Should we talk about what we're thankful for?
Yeah.
It is Thanksgiving.
It is our Thanksgiving episode.
Should we go around the room?
Yeah
Let's do it
Go ahead Mitch
Start us off buddy
Let's get the worst one out of the way
I'm not starting
Missed a bit of an attitude too
Well I mean it's just constant
Well we were sure
Oh okay come on
Well you gotta remember
You're hurt in my pockets right now
I owe you 500 bucks
For going off for nothing all over the intermural
Now by which by the way
I'm assuming your entire team knew
What was at stake here
Oh yeah I sent I sent that
So you're like hey you gotta just throw me
Ball after ball for the end zone
No I said
I sent it into
our group chat, I was like, boys, we're playing for more than just championship tonight.
Did you tell the opposing quarterback, what was that state?
No.
Dude, I, I will.
Just throwing you interceptions?
I will be, I, like.
We'll think he was playing catch.
Yeah.
Yeah, that team was, that competition in that league was really, really bad.
So, like, yes.
Shamed us, we should have done our homework.
Yeah.
Yeah, like, the stat line is impressive, but it wasn't like, any, like, it wasn't, they weren't good.
So it wasn't like, okay, I really put it on out there.
So what are you thankful for?
Okay.
On a serious note, I obviously, one thing I'm super thankful, I mean, I feel like it's going to be a common theme, but this being our job is something I never thought I'd see myself in.
And I can't thank you too enough for be like two years ago willing to take me on and bring me on a part of the boys.
Thankful for everybody in the back of the bus.
I mean, yeah, we're co-workers, but we're also kind of brothers at this point and really, really good friends.
so super happy for that and also thankful for my family i don't get to see them as much as i would like
but everything that they've done for me friends um yeah just happy for for where i'm at in life
and didn't think i would be enjoying my job as much as i am so thank you to you guys for that
that's a great one right that's a nice one happy thanksgiving man yeah that was really good
very thoughtful uh i am it's a hard
one to follow. I'm thankful for the community that we have found here in Nashville. We've been,
my wife and I moved here really for this job and we're not going back to Texas for Thanksgiving
just because of her work schedule. But it is nice to like be in a new area where you might not be
as close with some of the friends here that you are back home or your family, but you still get
invites like Taylor's doing something at his house.
We have another couple friend that they have a friend that's doing something for Thanksgiving
that we got invited to.
Gee,
invite everybody in the office to like a Friendsgiving that we weren't able to attend sadly.
But it's awesome that just in the short time,
the community that we built.
And it's really cool.
So thankful for Nashville and kind of right off of Mitch.
Thankful for just like the boys.
All right.
Nice.
Sure, very nice.
Happy Thanksgiving, Sherim.
Yeah, happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
Obviously, thanking for the boys.
The camaraderie feels like this year it's been a special year.
We've built like a really good chemistry and community here, which has been awesome behind the scenes.
So thankful for that.
Really grateful that I live in a city that my parents live in.
I know a handful of these guys, you know, families live out of state.
And I just constantly remind myself how grateful I am that I can just run over to my parents' house.
and use them for advice or just to hang out and went there yesterday.
So grateful, too, I get to go see my two nieces in a couple days going down to Atlanta.
We're doing Thanksgiving there.
And I was sick last week.
So to have good health this week as opposed to last week, really beneficial thing because I wouldn't have been able to go down, not see my nieces.
And my friends, obviously, my dog, and most importantly, I'm so grateful that Sturgle Simpson is the greatest.
recording musician on planet earth right now.
And so if you're not on Nugs, go ahead and get on Nugs.
He just played his last show of the North American tour last night or two nights ago.
And he's doing something special with music right now.
So on top of my family and Sergel Simpson, thankful for you guys.
Shout to Sturgle.
For Zach Bryan.
Just kidding, guys.
Just kidding.
A lot of good things happen for me this year, getting made.
being the number one, number one thing, but something I try to focus on this year and I still
did not do the greatest job, but trying to be thankful for all the good things that happened and all
of the bad things that happened. Because truly embracing the bad things does make everything
else that much better and it is hard to do, especially in the, like, in the moment. And even when
there's like tragic things that happen, stuff like that, like embracing it, knowing that somewhere down
the line it's going to make sense and that like you'll be better for it because it happened
that's what i'll be thankful for and something i'll try to continue to be more thankful for and
conscious of happy thanksgiving very nice very nice um yeah very thankful for everything all these guys
have said family friends this job living in a good city um you know it's i don't know i feel like
we're very lucky to do some of this stuff that we get to do and when you have fans
family and friends that back you up and like kind of cheer you on through it all is like really
refreshing and nice. So yeah, shout out to, you know, those little things, but they mean a lot
and hope everyone else has a good Thanksgiving.
Yeah, I would say I'm thankful for number one, getting to do a podcast. I thinking to do a podcast
with my best friend is always something that I would be thankful for,
something we hit on every year.
I'm thankful for you guys in the back,
like that none of this is even possible or happens
without the work that you guys put in.
I'm thankful for my family.
I'm thankful for including parts.
Number one, I'm thankful for my old man.
I'm thankful for my dad.
He started off at probably like 280 pounds when he stopped,
when he went sober in July.
And my old man is now down to 213.
13 pounds.
He texts me every week to let me know what his weight is.
And he's been an awesome example to look at.
So I'm very thankful for my old man.
I'm thankful for my brothers who get to come down this week.
There's been a lot of adversity internally with the fam since the passing of my mom.
And this will be like the first kind of holiday to where everybody is together in a positive way.
I feel my voice shaking.
I'm going, hang on a second.
You got this Willie B.
And, uh, dude, I'm thankful for my wife.
My wife, she's been a fucking superstar.
I'm thankful for a healthy baby number two, Scotty Jolie.
Um, my wife, man, like we had a C-section.
She's been, she's been in some adversity herself with the nerve stuff going on.
But the way she handles it, the way she journals, the way she gets out of walks, the fact that she, you know, Taylor, you know, like when you're watching your wife carry around your child for nine, 10 months.
My wife, she's also, she, she's a business owner.
She runs like two bar three studio.
here in Nashville and just seeing the way that she's taking everything on and taking everything
in stride allows me to you know we're obviously two weeks out from having a baby trying to be home
as much as possible but she allows me to continue to go out to Chicago for a quick day and get
my ass back right away allows me to be around you guys she knows when it's like hey go take a
couple hours and do this um so super thankful for my family man I feel going into this Thanksgiving
having our family come to us her parents now live in Nashville they're out in Mount Juliet
so they're a phone call away.
That's been very good for us.
My family coming in this week with my dad, my brothers.
That's going to be an incredible time.
My wife just shout out everybody.
Shout out you guys.
My Bustin family and my immediate family,
I am super thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving, Will.
Very nice.
Obviously, I'm thankful for the boys in the back.
Without you guys, this show just does not exist.
Well, and I don't have the capabilities to do what you guys do
and bring this thing out every single week.
So I'm thankful for each and every one of you for specific reasons.
I'm thankful for this year.
2024 has been an awesome year.
It's been so much more fun.
I think a couple of you guys touched on it.
The fall last year was just an absolute grind.
I think we all got in and over our heads a little bit.
I remember looking at JP's eyes in the middle of October while he was doing the vlog, doing slips and picks, doing part of a bus.
At the bus.
Yeah.
Oh, I forgot even we even did bet the bus.
But those types of things.
And being able to like everyone take a piece of that pie and,
seeing how we knew we were getting ourselves into this year. And I think everyone's enjoyed and
embraced. It's crazy to say, but the suck of like the fall. Getting after it, going on these trips,
consistently being away from our home, sleeping in hotel beds. Like that is something that I think
has overlooked quite a bit because we do travel so much and it's kind of just expected from you guys.
And it is fun. But I'm super grateful that for the most part, we all take it on the chin and keep
moving forward and try to make the best content we possibly can.
And so I'm very thankful for you guys in the back.
Obviously, as always, I'm thankful to do this podcast.
I think it's super underrated to have the ability and the chance
because your friend when you're high in 2018 at a Chinese restaurant is like,
let's start a podcast, not knowing about the inevitable end that comes with football,
that a lot of people kind of touch on but don't talk a whole lot about it.
So like how hard the transition could be.
The transition was very easy because there was a sense of purpose.
and a sense of being able to creatively still make something.
And if it wasn't for us having that conversation and you wanted to take that leap,
it would have never happened.
And it's turned into something that we both never expect.
And I think that's, you know, we talk about a lot.
I think you especially do a great job with gratitude and stuff like that.
But just constantly hitting that home, it's really important.
Super thankful for my wife.
So 2023 was, it was a tough year.
A lot of ups and downs, a lot of adversity.
Not necessarily for me and my wife, but exteriors outside.
that we're trying to affect our home.
It was very difficult.
And 2024, you've seen a lot of those things kind of turn and go into our favor.
And it wouldn't be going this way if it wasn't for Taylin being the rock that she is at our house.
I have a tendency to hit more of a roller coaster when things are good or bad.
And Taylor does an amazing job of staying consistent.
She's also found her passions.
She started a company called Nature Ad Nurture with her friend Delaney, Ernest's wife.
They are finding passion in nature and how to slow down life and just try to give something back to the world,
which I'm extremely proud of and grateful for her seeking.
She's an amazing mom.
I'm grateful for my two kids.
They are outstanding.
Just getting this weekend with Wynn.
It's insane to know that we talked about it's like, well, she's Pete Kidd right now.
And soon that'll be gone and soon she will be a teenager.
She's not going to want to be around her parents so much.
So having those
moments of just, you know,
something she doesn't care about
like going to a football game
is super special
because I know that's going to now
be a core memory for her.
So that was really nice.
And as always, man,
I'm thankful for the future
because I think this,
not only this bus,
my family,
but for all of us,
I think we're all headed
in a great direction.
I'm very excited
to see what happens.
That's what I love it,
man.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving,
boys.
Dude,
being a dad is.
It's hard.
Did you start talking
about your kids
and you feel it.
like I don't want to cry right now.
Yeah.
I don't feel like doing that right now.
Yeah.
It's way different, ma'am.
It makes you pissed off at all people.
It's like, yeah, I remember when I had a dog.
When I got my first, it's like, no.
It's not even fucking close.
It's not even close.
But fortunately, they'll get to find out when they hopefully.
Hopefully.
Everybody has a girl.
Dude.
And Rue and I, we've been heading, we've been heading a stride to, obviously,
Charles around Scotty a lot more than she is able to be with Rue because of all the needs
that Scottie has right now.
and so it's allowed time for Rue and I
to connect even more
and it's just
it's the best man
it's awesome even the tough times too
like when they're having temper change from a bad attitude
about something like if you're able to be present
and be like this is a teaching moment
and you kind of can work through those weeds you're like
man maybe I am fucking doing this right
I mean Rue Roo
what does Daniel Tiger say
I need you to take a step back and take a breath
if you're frustrated just take a step back
I need that right now
Yeah.
Daddy, are you happy?
Dad is going to be happy here in a second.
She's very good.
She's starting to get awareness with emotions a lot.
Yeah.
About like frustrated and angry and sad.
And she's got this keen ability to know the minute, the second you start to get a little off-killed to her.
immediate go-to is Daddy, you happy?
It's like, don't do that.
Don't do that.
Don't fucking flip it on me right now, kid.
Wynne has this insane, like, ultimate curiosity about everything.
She asks these questions that you're just like, what the fuck?
we doing it's amazing she is that kid's special jp almost didn't get out of the house
jp shut up the boy he he dropped off him and sitting came over and dropped off some cookies

Yeah.
The shaped head looks good.
Once you take off that back part, it's good.

Gentlemen, the question
Twisted question this week
Aliens have come to destroy Earth
Unless you can impress them with your cooking
What dish and sides are you making to save the world?
I'm going to keep it simple
I'm going to hand them a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch
With some whole milk
I'll say go ahead and try that
Let me see some raw milk, dude.
Get them down to earth.
But, yeah, I think a nice bowl of cinnamon toast crunch.
We'll make peace.
We make peace with the aliens.
That's the taste you can see.
I mean, I'd hook them up with some Thai basil chicken.
But if I'm like, you know, something go-to that is like a, you're extending a hand of peace and collaboration, you take a bite of cinnamon toast crunch.
That'll solve a lot of your problems.
You want to do a chili and peanut butter sandwiches?
There's a lot of things.
that I would do.
There's a lot of things that I would do.
He's trying to be as safe as possible.
Yeah.
Knowing that these, the taste buds of these aliens
will probably feel the best with cinnamon toast crunch.
Yeah.
And some whole milk in their mouth.
The lead alien will take a bite,
it'll start passing the bowl around.
I'll say, don't know, no, no, don't do that.
I got more spoons, I got more spoons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Germs, germs, yeah.
You get hit with y'all haven't even got
to the best part.
And then they drink it after.
Oh my, you see, let's see,
let's sit, let's have to have their own bowl.
Yeah, here's a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch
just been sitting for two minutes.
Go ahead and enjoy.
Hold on, hold on.
All right, go ahead.
I would make...
I would make double dags.
I would do, I have gone...
We're dead, bro.
Hold on now.
I fuck with double eggs.
I think it's such an underrated dish.
And low-key, I'm kind of decent.
I've gotten to this weird little world
of boiling eggs and I don't know
Taylor did you
Hey relax
dude let me finish out
I'm kind of nice at boiling eggs man
I do peel them nice
I do peel them nice
Pull them cold water
Put him in there for 10 minutes
cold water ice already in there
Pop them in there and I get myself a Yeti cup
Put one in there
I shake it around
so it's crumbly
That thing just peels off
Like it's nothing buddies
It's nothing
So I just start doing that
I'm thinking to myself
How can I take these
these boiled ace next level
A little bit of mayonnaise in there
A little bit of hot sauce
Put a little package
Cut the
Cut the plastic
Squeeze you that thing on top
With it all mashed in
With the yellow stuff
And then you put a little
Everything bagel on there
It's not hard to make
Bring us some bro
Yeah, bring us some
Not after your reaction
Not after your reaction
We're talking about saving the world
And you're talking about that way
But yeah I'm saying
I'm thinking to myself
I have to make something
And recently I've been making this dude
You know what I wanted to say
I wanted to say my jalapeno apple ribs
but I know how they've tasted like at their best
and you guys haven't gotten to taste that.
So part of me wanted to reel that one in.
You know, we do.
We just call Chef Kuso.
But I need you to do something real quick.
For sure, you get a lifeline that's going to Chef Kousso.
Or 100%.
Or Chef Donnie.
Or Chef Jason.
Yeah, or Chef Jason.
Or Chef Willion.
Weilley.
Chef Boyarcom.
Yeah, it says the guy who said cinnamon toast crunch.
I'm just saying cinnamon toast crunch, you take a bite of that.
You're going to know like you're in a safe space.
Yeah.
Yeah, I get that.
Devil's eggs, like, those are hitting myths with people.
Especially this time of year with the cinnamon in the holidays.
There's not a person in the world that doesn't like cinnamon toastcrows.
No doubt.
I understand.
I'm really flipping a coin on the devil's egg, especially me making it.
It's like a 33% chance now.
I'm saying if I had to make something, that's where I'm going to sit most confident,
actually making something.
Yeah.
Not pouring milk in a bowl.
So you're eating on the cinnamon toast?
No.
I think it's a great decision.
I think it's a good decision.
I'm thinking to myself, I actually have to make it.
something not open a box take a bowl and put milk in it you gotta go with the
sure thing let's run the football run the ball let's run the football oh
shit the man you're talking shit all right do you two talk do we want just you and me
me too talk or do we want to mention the cinnamon toast crunch you bring in you
You bring in like 10 boxes, you can take them for the road.
Hey, go up and talk.
Go talk with your high council up there.
Just bring them this.
I got some bowls.
Here's some spoons.
Here's some boxes of cinnamon toasts.
You can make this up there.
Those fun, like, cartoon spoons too.
No eating.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
It is the best answer.
It is the best answer.
Those devil d' eggs, though.
We'd probably die.
Devil dags.
Obviously, tier talk.
Let's hit Thanksgiving sides.
I'm assuming your tier one's going to be devil day.
No, no, no, no.
I actually didn't think devil d'aigs was like a Thanksgiving side.
Like when I was going through my brain of Thanksgiving sides,
I didn't think to myself double-d-age.
Some people don't do it.
I know I've done it.
I was thinking more of traditional Thanksgiving when it came to my tier talk.
Are you and I just doing tier talk and none of the boys?
Or should we just do us too?
We can have three lists out there.
Three lists back of the bus, Taylor will.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to take a quick break from this episode.

Let's get back to the episode.
You want to go first?
You want me to go first.
I'll go first.
You did the thankful thing first.
I'll do this first.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
So when I was...
You've got to be quick because we got to roll.
Yeah, you're right.
We have to roll.
Okay, we got to roll.
So you guys got to be fast out there too.
Not a lot of explanation.
All right.
Where the fuck my notes at?
Okay.
When I was putting together my sides,
I thought to myself strictly the sides
because I think there's a lot of like green bean casserole.
To me that's like,
That's a well-prepared dish.
I want to get to the basics of everything, except for my tier two.
Honorable mention is going to go to mashed potatoes.
It's basic, but the way I look at Thanksgiving is this,
nine times out of ten, your turkey is going to be dry.
I like to take all of the fixings that I like, put them into one dish,
cut it all up, and mash it all together.
And I think mashed potatoes do a great job of adding, enhancing that dish.
Then you take cranberry sauce and gravy, you just drizzle the thing over the top,
boys we're talking about getting fat on this day.
My tier three is going to go to cranberry sauce.
I think it goes a long way.
I didn't respect it as a kid.
I respect it now.
My tier two is where I kind of get off the trail a little bit.
Sweet potato casserole.
Sweet potato casserole with the marshmallows on top.
Two years ago, three years ago, we did a little thing at our house.
Jason had to go be with his family so he couldn't cook.
So Taylor and I had to make sweet potato casserole.
I put it in the top of it on the top shelf.
Matt Chay was caught on fire.
I started a fire in my house when people were at the house.
It wasn't my best moment.
That was a shit day.
For the most part, with the marshmallows on, it's really good.
My tier one is going to go to a Thanksgiving classic.
It's something that as a kid you despise, you don't even like looking at it.
But as you get older, you start to figure out why it is so important.
And that is stuffing.
Stuffing is my tier one.
And that is my tier talk.
Strong.
Yeah.
Classics.
High finish.
Strong finish.
Okay.
Yeah.
Tasty.
Fat.
That's what's all about on Thanksgiving, dude.
Catching them out.
Keep it short, keep it sweet.
My tier three is going to be corn.
And my tier two is going to be mashed potatoes and gravy.
And my tier one shares with yours, stuffing.
You put all of those sizes of the other, that entire tier talk.
You put them all together with the gravy on top.
That is your ultimate side dish for Thanksgiving.
Throw some turkey in it.
And you're set for a plate.
Nebraska.
Not eating cream corn, just corn.
Corn.
Corn.
I don't mind.
I don't mind.
It's crazy.
is
Yeah, creme boule corn
is number one.
Oh, that's a rich shit.
Corn cassero
There's a lot of different
corn dishes out there
But yeah
You're just pure
Whatever sitting there
It's got corn
Out of the can
Dump it
Warming up
That's it
I'm good with that
I'm with it
Tracker food
Uh
Honorable
Oh,
Solid
Expected
Simple
Constipated
Gobble Gobble
Hypenated
Back of the bus
Tear Talk
Rip them
Honorable
Mention
Cranberries
I love cranberries so much.
I used to get them on Christmas.
Cranberries and glass bottle of Coke would be wrapped up under the tree.
Cranberries is my honorable mention.
Who wants to your three?
This one has not been mentioned yet.
It gets,
I don't know how it got to overlook,
but mac and cheese,
but it's got to be doing well.
It's got to be somebody with an older grandmother
who really knows her recipe.
She maybe got like the extra cheese she puts on top
after it's already been done,
put it in the oven for a sec,
let it get a little crust on top.
But I think a mac and cheese is a solid dish
for Thanksgiving. I'm going to do
green bean casserole.
It's warm. It's got some
juice to it so it can mix with stuff
and it's got a little crunch on the top.
So triple threat
and yeah.
And yeah.
She's far.
I'm going to go with stuffing.
It's the ultimate
classic. It's like iconic
for Thanksgiving. You never like
sit down for a meal at any other time
of the year and eat stuffing.
It's Thanksgiving dinner. It's one of the best side.
it brings it all home stuffing.
Another honorable mention, I guess
it's not the meat of choice, but ham.
Ham's a good one.
And for Christmas, though.
You're right.
I don't know why I said that.
I almost just said that to create some animosity.
As we wrap up this show,
can I just say one thing about mac and cheese?
Yeah.
It's a little bit overrated to me.
When it comes to Thanksgiving,
it's a little bit overrated to it.
I agree with you.
Can I say something else about mac and cheese?
Go ahead.
20% off this Black Friday.
No way.
20% off this Black Friday.
Bustle with the boys gear.
Girl dad, boy dad.
Be a fucking wolf.
Be a fucking wolf.

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 and ask questions.
Well,
Sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick.
Tired and sick.

Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science
behind the biggest roadblocks we face.
I was six years into my career.
the 80-hour weeks and just the first one in, the last one out,
and I ended up burning out.
There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like,
was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin.
And I just, like, really regret not living in the present more.
You don't need to have everything figured out right now.
You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.
