Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:09 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.
Starting point is 00:00:27 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.
Starting point is 00:01:05 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? On the Radio 831 podcast, join us. Sanjana Basker and Tyler McCall. As we unpack all the trending tropes, fuzzy adaptations, book talk drama, and celebrity love stories with hot takes and sharp guests. Each episode digs into what these stories reveal about desire, fantasy, identity, and how we love now. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Joey Dardano, and on my new podcast, Hope from a Hypocrite,
Starting point is 00:01:45 I'll be changing lives, helping people in need with thoughtful solutions. Sike, I'm a comedian. I'm not qualified to give good advice. Join me and my comedian friends as we riff, rant, and recommend some of the most legally dubious advice known to me. This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help from a Hypocrite Wednesdays on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:02:10 or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.
Starting point is 00:02:50 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
Starting point is 00:03:07 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
Starting point is 00:03:29 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.
Starting point is 00:03:59 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.
Starting point is 00:04:14 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. Visit jdepower.com forward slash rewards 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,
Starting point is 00:04:33 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.
Starting point is 00:04:53 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
Starting point is 00:05:08 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
Starting point is 00:05:25 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
Starting point is 00:05:41 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.
Starting point is 00:05:54 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?
Starting point is 00:06:06 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,
Starting point is 00:06:15 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
Starting point is 00:06:22 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.
Starting point is 00:06:32 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
Starting point is 00:06:41 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.
Starting point is 00:07:12 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
Starting point is 00:07:33 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.
Starting point is 00:07:49 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.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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?
Starting point is 00:08:23 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.
Starting point is 00:08:34 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.
Starting point is 00:08:46 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.
Starting point is 00:09:03 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.
Starting point is 00:09:37 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
Starting point is 00:10:10 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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
Starting point is 00:10:49 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.
Starting point is 00:11:17 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.
Starting point is 00:11:28 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.
Starting point is 00:11:40 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.
Starting point is 00:11:56 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.
Starting point is 00:12:07 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.
Starting point is 00:12:26 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.
Starting point is 00:12:45 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?
Starting point is 00:12:59 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.
Starting point is 00:13:12 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,
Starting point is 00:13:25 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.
Starting point is 00:13:53 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.
Starting point is 00:14:10 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.
Starting point is 00:14:23 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.
Starting point is 00:14:39 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,
Starting point is 00:14:49 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.
Starting point is 00:15:03 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,
Starting point is 00:15:20 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
Starting point is 00:15:33 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.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Alabama wins against Oklahoma, wins against Auburn, you're guaranteed in the SEC championship and the playoff. See, that's the mindset
Starting point is 00:15:56 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
Starting point is 00:16:09 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
Starting point is 00:16:25 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.
Starting point is 00:16:47 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.
Starting point is 00:17:08 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.
Starting point is 00:17:32 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,
Starting point is 00:17:47 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,
Starting point is 00:18:00 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.
Starting point is 00:18:20 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.
Starting point is 00:18:32 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.
Starting point is 00:18:44 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?
Starting point is 00:18:58 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.
Starting point is 00:19:25 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.
Starting point is 00:19:38 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.
Starting point is 00:20:01 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.
Starting point is 00:20:11 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.
Starting point is 00:20:37 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.
Starting point is 00:20:51 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.
Starting point is 00:21:07 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.
Starting point is 00:21:36 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.
Starting point is 00:21:58 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.
Starting point is 00:22:23 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.
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.
Starting point is 00:22:50 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
Starting point is 00:23:04 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.
Starting point is 00:23:35 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.
Starting point is 00:23:44 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...
Starting point is 00:23:55 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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.
Starting point is 00:24:22 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
Starting point is 00:24:47 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
Starting point is 00:25:15 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
Starting point is 00:25:28 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
Starting point is 00:25:40 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?
Starting point is 00:25:56 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
Starting point is 00:26:22 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
Starting point is 00:27:09 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.
Starting point is 00:27:25 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.
Starting point is 00:27:37 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.
Starting point is 00:28:00 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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...
Starting point is 00:28:26 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
Starting point is 00:28:41 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,
Starting point is 00:28:58 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.
Starting point is 00:29:18 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.
Starting point is 00:29:30 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.
Starting point is 00:29:44 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.
Starting point is 00:30:01 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.
Starting point is 00:30:12 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.
Starting point is 00:30:24 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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.
Starting point is 00:30:53 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
Starting point is 00:31:08 touchdowns let's get to this draft king read get getting some holiday shopping done this weekend good pick up some touchdowns they're on sale at the drive king sports book unofficial sportsbook an official sportsbook partner of the nflb what else would you expect from the number one place to bet touchdowns draft kings has a doorbuster profits boost and bet one get one promotions on all types of touchdown bets.

What a call by Delaney.
Starting point is 00:32:01 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,
Starting point is 00:32:20 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,
Starting point is 00:32:37 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.
Starting point is 00:32:51 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.
Starting point is 00:33:05 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.
Starting point is 00:33:22 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.
Starting point is 00:33:42 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.
Starting point is 00:33:57 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.
Starting point is 00:34:13 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.
Starting point is 00:34:23 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.
Starting point is 00:34:58 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.
Starting point is 00:35:13 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.
Starting point is 00:35:28 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.
Starting point is 00:35:45 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.
Starting point is 00:36:02 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.
Starting point is 00:36:14 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.
Starting point is 00:36:25 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.
Starting point is 00:36:37 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...
Starting point is 00:36:46 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.
Starting point is 00:37:01 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.
Starting point is 00:37:22 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
Starting point is 00:37:58 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.
Starting point is 00:38:10 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.
Starting point is 00:38:20 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.
Starting point is 00:38:28 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
Starting point is 00:38:38 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
Starting point is 00:38:49 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
Starting point is 00:38:59 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.
Starting point is 00:39:08 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?
Starting point is 00:39:18 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
Starting point is 00:39:33 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
Starting point is 00:39:45 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
Starting point is 00:39:57 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.
Starting point is 00:40:08 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.
Starting point is 00:40:25 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.
Starting point is 00:40:35 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,
Starting point is 00:40:49 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.
Starting point is 00:41:09 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.
Starting point is 00:41:26 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
Starting point is 00:41:43 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
Starting point is 00:41:58 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
Starting point is 00:42:05 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
Starting point is 00:42:12 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
Starting point is 00:42:25 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.
Starting point is 00:42:37 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.
Starting point is 00:42:53 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,
Starting point is 00:43:07 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.
Starting point is 00:43:27 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.
Starting point is 00:43:39 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
Starting point is 00:44:06 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
Starting point is 00:44:18 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.
Starting point is 00:44:30 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,
Starting point is 00:44:42 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
Starting point is 00:44:56 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.
Starting point is 00:45:07 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.
Starting point is 00:45:16 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.
Starting point is 00:45:32 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.
Starting point is 00:45:53 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,
Starting point is 00:46:06 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.
Starting point is 00:46:14 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.
Starting point is 00:46:27 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,
Starting point is 00:46:36 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,
Starting point is 00:46:43 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.

Starting point is 00:55:01 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.
Starting point is 00:55:23 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.
Starting point is 00:55:33 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.
Starting point is 00:55:48 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
Starting point is 00:56:18 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.
Starting point is 00:56:39 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.
Starting point is 00:56:59 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.
Starting point is 00:57:10 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.
Starting point is 00:57:33 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.
Starting point is 00:57:54 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,
Starting point is 00:58:06 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:59:54 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
Starting point is 01:00:28 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.
Starting point is 01:00:40 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.
Starting point is 01:00:54 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.
Starting point is 01:01:07 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.
Starting point is 01:01:22 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.
Starting point is 01:01:33 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.
Starting point is 01:01:49 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.
Starting point is 01:02:12 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.
Starting point is 01:02:22 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.
Starting point is 01:02:38 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.
Starting point is 01:02:52 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.
Starting point is 01:03:04 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,
Starting point is 01:03:19 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
Starting point is 01:03:34 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.
Starting point is 01:03:50 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
Starting point is 01:04:04 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
Starting point is 01:04:31 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

Starting point is 01:05:01 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.
Starting point is 01:05:14 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,
Starting point is 01:05:25 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

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

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
Starting point is 01:10:22 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 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.
Starting point is 01:11:33 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.
Starting point is 01:12:06 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
Starting point is 01:12:36 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
Starting point is 01:13:25 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
Starting point is 01:14:00 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.
Starting point is 01:14:20 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.
Starting point is 01:14:47 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.
Starting point is 01:15:15 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
Starting point is 01:15:50 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.
Starting point is 01:16:05 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.
Starting point is 01:16:24 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.
Starting point is 01:16:43 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.
Starting point is 01:17:11 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.
Starting point is 01:17:44 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.
Starting point is 01:18:06 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.
Starting point is 01:18:29 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.
Starting point is 01:19:00 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,
Starting point is 01:19:21 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
Starting point is 01:19:31 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.
Starting point is 01:19:40 That's what I love it, man. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, boys. Dude, being a dad is. It's hard.
Starting point is 01:19:45 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.
Starting point is 01:19:54 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.
Starting point is 01:20:05 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
Starting point is 01:20:24 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
Starting point is 01:20:39 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.
Starting point is 01:20:53 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.
Starting point is 01:21:13 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 phenomenal cookies i mean buddy what are those called oatmeal yeah i was like one of charles favorites and they are insane like butterscotch oatmeal yeah the fuck bro they're crazy and jp and sitting went nuts i don't know if did you make them at all jp or was that sitting i had moral support moral support sitting went crazy with them

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.
Starting point is 01:23:36 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.
Starting point is 01:23:55 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.

Starting point is 01:24:40 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
Starting point is 01:24:56 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
Starting point is 01:25:09 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

Starting point is 01:25:45 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.
Starting point is 01:26:05 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.
Starting point is 01:26:14 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.
Starting point is 01:26:28 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?
Starting point is 01:26:44 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

Starting point is 01:27:28 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.
Starting point is 01:27:38 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,
Starting point is 01:27:54 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.

Starting point is 01:29:22 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.
Starting point is 01:29:28 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.
Starting point is 01:29:36 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.
Starting point is 01:29:51 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.
Starting point is 01:30:14 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.
Starting point is 01:30:31 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.
Starting point is 01:30:47 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.
Starting point is 01:31:08 Classics. High finish. Strong finish. Okay. Yeah. Tasty. Fat. That's what's all about on Thanksgiving, dude.
Starting point is 01:31:19 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.
Starting point is 01:31:35 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.
Starting point is 01:31:44 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
Starting point is 01:31:51 But yeah You're just pure Whatever sitting there It's got corn Out of the can Dump it Warming up That's it
Starting point is 01:31:56 I'm good with that I'm with it Tracker food Uh Honorable Oh, Solid Expected
Starting point is 01:32:02 Simple Constipated Gobble Gobble Hypenated Back of the bus Tear Talk Rip them Honorable
Starting point is 01:32:14 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.
Starting point is 01:32:28 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,
Starting point is 01:32:40 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.
Starting point is 01:32:58 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
Starting point is 01:33:13 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.
Starting point is 01:33:37 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,
Starting point is 01:33:49 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.
Starting point is 01:34:01 Girl dad, boy dad. Be a fucking wolf. Be a fucking wolf. We got it all. Got it all. Big hugs, tiny kisses. Thank you guys. Hell of an episode.

Starting point is 01:35:05 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.
