Bussin' With The Boys - Theo Von On Rise Of 'This Past Weekend' Podcast + Turning Down Sandler's 'Happy Gilmore 2' | Bussin

Episode Date: July 29, 2025

Recorded: July 28th 2025 | This week on Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan have on the legendary Theo Von! From deep thoughts to deep woods, Theo takes us on a ride through his fasting-fueled introspections, sketch comedy chaos, and SEC football hot takes. We kick things off with a fun intro discussing Dieon Sanders news, and the upcoming Bussin’ Bowl Live Show. After our electric intro, the Theo interview kicks off starting with Theo sharing about his current fast… yeah, he’s starving, but it’s got him thinking deep. He opens up about how not eating for days makes his mind sharper and his soul weirder, and how it’s even made him re-evaluate his dream guests on This Past Weekend. He hopes to have an episode with The Pope and Marilyn Monroe. Theo also drops a bombshell: he was approached to be in Adam Sandler’s ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ on Netflix but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts. The boys chop it up about Theo’s long-time friendship with Bobby Lee and the success of his True Friends podcast. He reflects on the early years of grinding in LA, podcasting before it was cool, and what it was like trying to find his voice while bouncing off other now-huge comics. The boys also talk about Theo’s viral “Digger” sketch with Shane Gillis and Druski, breaking down the behind-the-scenes chaos and what it’s like working with comedy heavyweights. Then things get outdoorsy as Theo talks about his fun camping trip with none other than Glenny Balls and the owner of Jimmy John’s Sandwiches. We even get a heartfelt moment as Theo opens up about his friendship with UFC star Dustin Poirier, sharing some behind-the-scenes stories and what it means to know a guy who's still as real as they come. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Bussin’ episode without some football talk. Theo, Will, and Taylor break down their bold predictions for the upcoming SEC season, roasting a few teams along the way and throwing out some sleeper picks you probably didn’t see coming.   0:00 Intro3:23 Bussin Bowl Live Show11:26 Taylor’s Bday Present16:31 Will’s Trip To Canada30:56 Madden 99 Club45:23 Lewan BBQ Party58:49 Happy Gilmore 2 Was A Hit1:11:26 Deion Sanders Health Issues1:18:51 NFLPA Drama 1:29:07 THEO VON INTERVIEW STARTS 1:29:09 The F Word Has Become More Popular1:31:23 Theo Lost His Smile1:33:11 Growing Up In Louisiana 1:34:57 Does He Feel That He Always NeedsTo Be Funny?1:37:05 This Past Weekend Podcast1:50:27 White Whale Guests1:54:51 The Diggers Movie?2:01:23 Glenny Balls & Theo Went Camping 2:10:01 Huge SEC Fan2:14:41 His Relationship With Bobby Lee And Andrew Santino2:18:09 Happy Gilmore 2 Approached Him?2:23:11 Vanderbilt & Diego Pavia Expectations2:34:50 Fear In Leaving Barstool?2:41:05 Those Who Suffer Before Necessary Suffer More Than Necessary 2:46:59 Breaking Away From Kast Media2:55:11 Going Early To UFC Fights3:04:26 Bud Light: What Would You Do Anything For?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

And the day before that, like Willie just said, we will have a live show. In September 19th, fun fact. Is, can I say it? Go ahead. It's a special boys' birthday.

Sherman, I'll give you a guess on who it is. Hint on the bus. Double hint, a host on the show. Triple hint, owner of the show. God, I mean, that's between you and Will. Right. But you just had your, it's Will. It's Will.

It's Will Compton. And happy future birthday to Will. 36, 36. 36. 36. The death year. The death year, baby. Birthday weekend in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Last time we went and did a live show, it was packed. Packed house.

Shoulder to shoulder. Got a lot of booze. I got a lot of booze when I walked out. That place was covered in a sea of rain. Vives will be high. Vives will be high. And God, that weekend is everything. Michigan right now favored as a away team, minus three and a half.

Total points that game, 45 and a half. Too early to tell them the total. Way too early to tell them the total. Too early to tell. That's good though. But I will say, I will say, boys, we had this conversation last week on the intro when I was winning a solo intro. Will needs this.

Will needs it. And to be frank, this trophy game needs it. Right? It can't just be so one side all the time. Do I think it's going to work out for Will? No, I don't. No, I don't. But I hope that God we can find a way to love the boy up.

Because it can't be me. It's got to be you guys. It can't be me to lift Will up because I'm going to be public enemy number one. I need you guys to love on him, nurture him. Yes, Shirm. Technically, you can't lose because Michigan technically needs a Nebraska win for this rivalry to mean something. So technically you can't lose. I love your thought process.

However, every year's a new year. And does Nebraska and Michigan play in 2026? Yeah. No. Exactly. Exactly. So now I got to deal with we're two and one. What about your last game?

That whole conversation, Will's head, Bailey fits in the bus when the year, even there's a scent of maze in the air. Like it's just hard to get them to work, you know? Every year's their year. Every year's a national championship year. Best three win team of all time. I just worry. I worry about my boy. And I got a balance, you know?

I got a balance. this and it's going to be a tough little act for me to follow but I love you so you're in a win-win no that's what Sherman was that was the initial I said I said I liked it but then I explained why I don't want that I'm kind of I'm still in a win-lose hey that's why we play the game man so I play the game why we play the game excitement in the air rivalry in the air a little bit of hate and anger already I don't know why I can't tell you why I don't know it's the last week of July we're living you know you said you said others can love me up it's gonna depend on them

The only ones who can love me up are the ones who are going to be riding with me. The ones who are going to be riding for the Nebraska cornhusers. I think you'll have a good set of boys. You'll have a good set of boys. He's got me. Yes, sir. JP knows what I'm talking about. I know why.

I know why. And you know what? I deserve that. You want to explain why you were so quick to answer that question? No, he's riding with the Huskers. You tell me why. Don't make this about you, bro. Because I was nasty to you.

When South Carolina played Tennessee, when you guys upset Tennessee at home. And I was not the best friend I could possibly be that day. So I get it. But I've forgotten about that. This is turning point year for Nebraska. You don't have talked to me about last week.

What are you talking about J.P? But that has... JP doesn't know what I'm talking about. They don't know what I'm talking about? That has nothing to do with this game. Because I remember I turned on him last time. I'm with you. He did.

But this is a year for Nebraska. This is a turning point year and this is a turning point game. And if they win that game, the trajectory is probably what he says it will be. And I want to be a part of it at the home crowd at night. It's at night? It varies? I don't even know.

It'll be dark by that point. It'll be dark when the trophy gets lifted. Okay. Jack, this is the one. Oh, I'm going Nebraska. What the way? Yeah, yes. Whole way.

I mean, I've said this many times. I have a huge love for Lincoln and the vaults or Knoxville. have similarities. And it's the home game in Lincoln. It's a lot easier to support the home team when you don't have too much blood in it. But everything J.P. said, I think, is true. Like, you want to see Nebraska get a win. You want to see Rule get a win to, like, really solidify that, like, what he's doing there is something's working. And so I don't want to see Nebraska just revert back to, you know, post-Scott Frost era, like trying to figure it out. So I would love to see those boys catch a win. Post-Scott Frost era?

Yeah, like just in the last two years? It's both Scott Ross. Okay. Do you need, yeah. Matt Ruhl has been the head coach the whole time. It's okay. I understand what you're at a corner. Onward?

Sherman. Yeah. GBO. Do it. So, the trigger. This isn't a red versus blue thing. For me, this is, I'm a big Dana Holgerson guy.

People know this. So I got to go big. The sickos know that you're big Dan Holgerson. The sickos know that I'm a big Dana Holgerson guy. So I got to go. go big red we already know where Mitch is going I mean that's my that's my that's my spring game

it's my coordinator right there yeah yeah GBR all right Garrett finish the sweet buddy finish the suite buddy finish the sweet you want it in the front of the head or in the back I want it in the front I want you to look me in the eye

and pull the fucking trigger you know I can't go with Michigan for what you've done the last year twice twice one year twice one year um but you're going to go into this fight alone and maybe you'll make it out alive.

I will. But on Will's birthday weekend, it's the Huskers. That's crazy you're not. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. This is exactly, exactly what I wanted.

Good. I needed all of you guys to support Will on his birthday weekend when his dreams are fucking crushed. I bet Matt were I'd with you. What's it? Matt were I'd with you. Matt

Oh thanks Not alone Well on this trip There's still Jaredi Kooten ain't coming on the trip But they still might have your back They ain't coming on the trip

I'm like kind of in this me against the world's mentality right now. That's okay. I'm going to take it. I'm going to, I'm going to pull it away. I'm going to pull it away right now. I'm going to push it to the side. I'll pick that up in a minute. Very thoughtful of you to get me a gift regardless. That's why we play the game.

That's why I play the game. Yeah. Fun rivalry. A little bit of hate. A tad. A touch. A touch. Yes.

But let's not ruin this moment. Can I shake it? Can I guess? Sure. Go ahead. He says you're going to have fun with this one. It makes me feel like it's Legos. I don't know why.

Maybe it's a puzzle. A 20-piece puzzle set. It's a rocket puzzle, I see you. Yeah, you don't keep me busy as the box. Just rip open the tape, dude. Just watching your highlights, dude. This is nothing to you.

Were you proud when you got this gift for him? I was. I was. No. He's looking at it. Just know what else is in that box. There's a bunch of little trinkets. A bunch. That's what you see right there is not what's just in the box.

Penn State. pick was he second pick in the draft this year lighting shit up in camp what numbers you wearing boys 51 51 there's a rumor going around that abdul carter called will compton and said

I know it's not the same team but it is the NFC East and I would feel like I have to ask you if I can wear this jersey number and what did you say well he also said man I've admired your career so much from afar I grew up watching you play even when you're in the Even when you're on the Huskers, it would be an honor if I could rep your 5-1.

May I do it? I said, buddy, absolutely. This game's not about me. It's not about you. Yeah. It goes beyond me. It's about everybody else. Yes.

It's about the young guys coming up, the youth coming up in the game. Young bucks. And so, you know, I give him my blessing. That's beautiful, man. That is beautiful. God, what a good person. Good person, good family man, a family man that went to Canada for the past week. How was that, Will?

Dude, it was incredible. A little up and down with the weather. Yeah. But that's okay. It happens. It happens. We went and saw, we saw Lake Moraine, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake. We did like Sunshine Falls, Johnston Canyon or Johnston Falls, Marble Canyon.

It was, dude, it was an awesome time. The way I would explain Canada for all the sightseeing in the Banff area is you see the photos like the blue water. The glacier water. Yeah. A glacier. From Alaska. Probably a pushy water. Name that movie.

Water boy. Water boy. Nice job, firm. And you get some of that water like on different beaches. You might go to a nice spot and see this nice, bright blue water, but you don't get the forestry around it. You might get the forestry in Montana or Colorado, but you don't have the blue water. This area had both things, and it was gorgeous. Yeah.

The scenes, 10, the people, 10. I mean, just one of the most accommodating trips I've been on as far as just like strangers. People that are working everything. Even the flight there, we took a, I think it's called West. West Jet. West Jet. We took West Jet there. And even the flight attendants were just phenomenal to us and the kids.

Wow. Dude, it was a great trip. It was a great trip. And going with, I got to be, I feel like I'm walking on eggshells a little bit. I don't know why I feel this way. just to say this because it has nothing to do with best friend, this, that, the other. So I'm titling it as like a first generation best friend, somebody I grew up with. Honestly, one of my first friends that I ever had.

And just to be on a trip with him and his family and see, like, he has a couple little ones, Hudson who's four, and Grady, who's one and a half, and Rue is three, and Scotty is like eight months old. But just to have kids around that same age and to see Hudson and Rue play around. And I was just kind of sit back and be like, buddy, we're 35 now. We have kids. And we've been like long time friends and just to see our kids play together. It was, dude, it was awesome.

We stayed in the same Airbnb. We stayed in the same hotel room. It was a lot of fun. That's awesome. Yeah. It was cool. I'll recommend everybody to go to Canada. Their bagels are shitty.

I will say their bagels need a lot of work. I'll say my time in Canada, I've never been blown away by the food except for Cactus Club. If you've been in Catast Club, they have amazing lettuce wraps. Best lettuce reps I've actually ever had in my life. life other than that it's like yeah you know the Fairmont Hotel had incredible food that's the castle right yeah but as far as like going out is that place it's it is so cool probably my favorite moment was like we were climbing up rocks and just sitting on a rock looking out at Lake Moraine can you pull up a photo of Lake Moraine and it was just it was awesome

Rube that was one of her few hikes to where she was having a great time on climbing all the rocks doing all the fun things so it was like you had a moment of a little bit of peace yeah that is nice because she didn't her legs would she'd go paralyzed At the beginning of the hike. Really? Oh, legs don't work as she's walking. It's like, sweetheart, we can't carry you the whole time. There was one, and it was hand up.

It was my fault because I read a comment on Twitter from somebody that said, hey, hiked the Mirr Lake. Kids can handle it, great views, and he posted this photo. And it was a beautiful mountain, and it's just the water, just mirror in the mound. It looked incredible. And we started hiking on going up to Mirr Lake, which is right there around Lake Louise within 10 minutes. legs are burning hamstrings are burning i got scotty on my back in that hiking baby carrier backpack

and the elevation she's just bobbing around the elevation was just steady right here the entire time and i'm thinking this fucking guy saying that he's got like kids can handle it they couldn't handle it and then we get to mere lake and mirlake was cool but it wasn't that photo and then i go back because i'm wanting to respond to him to let him know buddy this is not the view that you showed me and the kids did not have this was a four mile hike four mile two miles uphill

yeah it was brutal brutal and we got out there and I looked back at Nick I kind of like look around I'm like looking for this mere mountain lake and shit I see this like you know

it's solid lake like if it was just adults if we were just hiking up and we went to this spot we'd have a great time right but it's like you're treking all all the kids you got Grady in one carrier

Scotty in another Roo can't walk Hudson's handle well going on the way up, struggles on the way down, just chaos. And we get up to this lake and I look around, I look back at Nick, I go, what the hell is this? He just starts laughing. I was like, look, I'm going to go back and pick up Root because Charles was far back behind us because she's like walking with her ride, Scotty. I'm sweating my fucking balls off, put the carrier down, trek back down the hill a little bit,

grab, I'm like, hey, we're getting up here. And I'm like, getting that beautiful sweetheart. And she's like, it doesn't really look at the picture that you showed me. Charles said that or Roos said that? Charles said that. And I was like, I'm just going to say this. This is my fault. because I let us... We're supposed to go out to Lake Moraine again and just enjoy like a little picnic, hike a little bit and do all this stuff,

but we were taking a shuttle so we would have to take uninstall both carriers out of the car, reinstall them in the shuttle, do the same thing on the way back. We're gone for... Which is a pain in the ass. Two extra hours than doing this hike

that my man said would be, kids can handle it. It's only going to be a few hours. It was a few hours, but it was fucking... It was a battle. God. And I pivoted us from doing the shots.

Like, hey, let's not do the shuttle so we don't have to mess with all the car seats. And this will be quicker. We're here. This Lake, Lake Louise is beautiful. We want to hike up the mountain a little bit anyway. Somebody said there's a mere lake up there.

It looks awesome. Like, let's just, let's scrap. Let's scrap the shuttle. I'll go in and try to get our money back from that. And then we'll hike up and do Mir Lake instead. And everybody was on board. And then by the time we got up there, we're sitting and we're feeding them.

Then it starts raining. Everyone's thinking, Will. Everyone's thinking, who's idea was this? I felt that anyway. I felt like everybody was thinking this. Everyone's just standing. You're like, this dude made us walk four miles up there. And then it started raining on us, and it was raining the rest of the way down.

Is that, so when you're looking at the photo that buddy posted, could you see that on a clear day, that could be the photo? No, no, no, no, no. I went, okay, so the spot where I said I went back and wanted to reply to him and tell him my disgruntledness on what he led me into. Right. I go back to reply to him. He had another reply to me saying, that's awesome. It's going to be great. By the way, I looked at the photo.

That photo is from Lake Agnes. That was like another 800 meters or 1,000 meters up the hill. So we would have to go up even farther to see that lake that he was talking about. This hill's got how many lakes on it? That's the one Quinn was saying like Beehive, tea tree house or something, T tree. But there's like three or four, I think, spots that you can see scenic-wise. Yeah. I mean, it is beautiful out there.

It's a game changer. It really is. But that moment's one where I have to, you know, I have to take that one on the shin. I let us down the wrong path. Was that your first time in Canada? Yeah. Oh, second. time. I went to Vancouver for like 24 hours once. And the drive into Vancouver is just incredible.

But we weren't like spending any time there. Vancouver, big place to see some orcas. Big place to see some orchids. That's a bucket list right there. Yeah. Seeing some work of whales. That's easy as us just being like, we want to make a vlog of us seeing orcas. I think everybody who listens to the show would get behind it. Buddy, I remember getting the first VHS set of freewheeling. It came with a compass. And I kept that compass as long as I can remember. I ended up obviously losing it, but I love that compass. I wanted to be Jesse so badly reaching his hand up touching the orca whale

as he jumps over the rocks. Just a sprinkle of sea water on your hands. I love that idea. Do what? Go to where they filmed it. Where was that? Probably Washington.

Yeah. By the way, just for your reference, that is the lettuce wraps. Incredible. Incredible. The two sauces. Oh, yeah, P.F. Chains. This thing nuts on P.F. Chains.

dude. It doesn't stay at a chance. No shot. I'm just telling you, speaking of, they're taking a bunch of shit. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with the name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call. about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers.

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. 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. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Gentian win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but.

But I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. It's Canada right now. What's your thought on Canada now? Like seeing the place? Yeah. Highly recommend. Highly recommend. Highly recommend they go out and see Canada.

Get out there. It was gorgeous. Get out there. So where you were, Banff is like in the mountains. Where Talon's from is like down the mountains into a valley where you still have a bunch of of mountain ridges and stuff like that, but it's much warmer. During the summertime, it's like very much like kind of always sunny. You'll get a couple of days of rain here and there, but it's like for the most part sunny.

Lakes everywhere. Like you, there's just like one little hill. There's like two lakes that you go over this hill and there's like a giant ass lake. you just go tuning go hook up little sound system tune around for a little bit we're getting that weather

I was wondering if it's kind of like that because I'm like I don't even know if this is factually correct but I remember thinking my head like I guess we are close to Seattle you are not why it's cloudy you're not close to Seattle

because when it's in the 60s or low 70s and the sun's out it's great your shorts and a t-shirt but when it's raining in the morning or later in the day it gets a little frigid yeah you don't want that but like Kelona, Lake Country, Vernon.

It's not too far from Seattle. I mean, if you keep zooming out, it gets even closer. That is true. That is true. It looks real close there. Yeah, like, but you're also past the state of Washington. Yeah. Seattle is on the far west side.

But I'm thinking northwest, known for the rain. That's like being in Arizona being like, we're right next to San Diego. It's like, yeah, you're a six-hour drive-away. It's technically past Idaho as well. You're parallel. Idaho probably gets a lot of rain, I guess. But there's a whole mountain range there, buddy. I mean, you get past the mountain range.

That's how weather gets fucked up a little bit. But yeah, it's a beautiful spot to be at. Really, there, left. That's where you want to be. Yeah. There and left. When you go right, it gets a little more plainsy, a little more cowboy, and then it gets real French.

Dude, also this, like when we were out in Bamp, like, every spot we went to, I felt like it was the most international type spot that I've been at to where workers and everybody, you're hearing accents from Ireland, Australia, Middle Eastern, like a bunch of different types of people, all the different types of accents. So I felt like that was cool too. Yeah, that's awesome, man. Guy was running some more as he's from Australia, talk about why he ended up moving up to Canada and stuff as he's talking about the history of the mountains and everything else.

A lot of busing fans out there. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. One thing I keep hearing every time I go to Canada, I get stopped all the time. You guys need to ship to Canada. Yeah. A lot of people are wanting us to ship to Canada. That would be a G question. It looks like he's a little confused by that question.

It seems like we might ship to Canada. I'll find out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's find out. Said I'll find out for the Canadians watching. Because I got, I'll be honest with you guys. Every time we go to Canada, people are like, I love this hat. I love this shirt. I'm like, dude, just tell me what you want.

I'll get it for you. I'll just send it up. Don't buy it. I'll just send it to you. And then they send it to me. And I'm like, all right, great. Then I come up again. I'm like, oh shit, I forgot it.

I'm actually going back in a couple weeks. I'll bring it back. And I go back. We do the commercial. This happened last week. This is like two weeks ago. This happened. I'm back for a third time.

They're like, they don't want to say anything. They know what I don't have everything in my hands. I don't get them any of the merch. So we got to, there's a, there's a fuck ton of people in late country that are looking to support some bus and merch. Or want it. Maybe we'll send you up with a big quantity of each item. That'd be, that's smart. Yeah.

We'll do a yard sale. Yeah, yard sale. We'll do a yard sale in Canada. See how it works out. I love that. Yeah, it was a good time though, bro. I love it. The kids, like, obviously, you know how to travel with the kid.

I was like, there's just... It could be a war at times. Yeah. There's moments of peace where you sit there with your wife and you're like, man, the kids are going to appreciate that mom and dad took me when we were, you know, in the summertime, when you go here or there or whatever, we always take a trip. They're going to love that. Sometimes it sucks for the parents.

And being with Nick's family too, like them both being in the three, four range and they're both in the, you know, learning how to share. I want to press the elevator button. The elevator button's a whole. You got to give them a real, real talking to. Yeah. Pull them aside. It'd be a whole ordeal. And it's also like if you can have the foresight to kind of just tell them to like, okay, Rue is going to press the button first.

Next time we get on the elevator, you're going to press the button. Then this one's going to press the button. And they kind of know. so we know his turn is, but the first time you get on elevator, you just see a bunch of magical buttons, they want to press them all. They want to press them all.

They want to press them all. They want to press them all. They're fighting over it. They're screaming. It's a lot, dude. It's a lot to handle. It's a lot. Have you boys met Nikki?

Willie's boy? No, I don't. Baseball game, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. He was at the baseball game. Great, dude. Outstanding individual.

That's all I have to say about that. That's literally, that's literally it. Do you want to hit an ad real quick, buddy? Dude, I would love to. Come on. After that, I want to talk a little 99 team. Madden. It's in the game.

You got it? Yeah, because I'm assuming he wants me to read the highlighted one. The one that's blued over. And you see it here behind me. Form Energy is a sponsor of the podcast. Form Energy delivers best in class taste with natural flavors and zero sugar. Form Energy has natural caffeine. derived from green tea.

Form comes in a variety of flavors. Available flavors screaming freedom. That's the rocket pop inspired. Grape smash, blue blitz, orange fury, perfect for those who put in the work. For the person who wakes up in the morning, gets a workout in, puts in a full day of work,

and still gives it their all when they come home to the wife and kiddos. Form energy, we do the work. And these flavors, look, I know we've talked about it before, but they are, what you think they are. You see Orange Fury,

it tastes like some orange soda. Yeah. It is incredible. Yeah. If you just think of the flavor blue, just think of the flavor blue, it like packs a punch. Yeah.

Yeah. If you love flavor, the fact that it's derived from green tea, this stuff is phenomenal, tastes great. I love it. I'm a big fan. Big fan of that.

Dive in the Madden Club? Madden Club. So I did see our friend of the show, Lane Johnson, 99 Club first time. Oh, wow. The Eagles, only team with two players.

that are in the 99 club. Lane Johnson and Sequin Barclay, obviously Sequin, he gets on the Madden cover, but the dude had an incredible year. They win the Super Bowl. Lane Johnson is an individual that,

respectfully, no one's going to care. People who are just casual fans of the game are going to see that Lane Johnson is in the 99 club and be like, well, Trent Williams got a couple years ago, I guess they're just letting Offence of Lemonon. Lane Johnson is a staple

of the Philadelphia Eagles. He's going to his 12th season. 12 or 13th. One of those two. He's the one of I'm thinking 99 Club, that late in the game. Like, that is incredible. That's the thing with offensive linemen, though.

They kind of just age gracefully, and the special ones keep it going at a high level for a long time. Lane is a dude that puts in the work. This guy was a quarterback in high school. Went to Oklahoma as a tight end, ate himself into an offensive lineman, and then ran a four-seven at the combine. That's the kind of athlete we're talking about here, boys and girls.

Just a quiet individual who goes against guys like Von Miller, Micah Parsons, Joey Bosa, Nick Bosa and they have Max Crosby. Max Crosby, T.J. Watt goes against them and the Philadelphia go say, well, if they're on lane, we have nothing to worry about. The peace of mind that that franchise has, knowing that they're right and left tackle, both of them, by the way, their left tackle is incredible too. But just talking about Lane, like, you can leave him alone all day long. And he's going to be able to handle his business, make sure the quarterback is protected and then pave lanes. Pave lanes and lift heavy fucking weight.

Lift heavy fucking room. So I want to get that out of the way. The 99 Club. You're excited about Josh Allen and Jamar Chase, Miles Garrett, Justin, Jeff, all those guys. Can you bring up that list again? Bring up that list again, Shirm. What you're mad about it? Why are you so mad about that?

You got Josh Allen, Jamar Chase, Miles Garrett, Justin Jefferson, Lamar Jackson, Lane Johnson. Lane is definitely the most surprising on the 99. He's the most surprising, but he's also a guy that just quietly is elite. Every single year. He's quietly elite. Is it a troll that Mahomes is not in the 99 club? Or Joey B?

Yeah, Burrow. I think based off of burrow, bro, that's tough because he had an awesome year last year. But Mahomes year last year probably wasn't 99 worthy, even though they made the Super Bowl, but like his stats weren't. That's a fair statement. Like the other guy. Yeah, his stats weren't the best. Joey B would be a great argument because he was running for MVP. Have you watched insane, had an insane year.

Have you watched quarterback on Netflix? I've seen what I've gotten through the first episode. Okay, you go watch a few more of those episodes and you'll just see Jamar Chase. Go crazy 24-7. And then how they speak about Jamar Chase, how, you know, they talk about the relationship of Joe Burrow and Jamar when they're at LSU. Now they get to play together. But literally any time Joe Burroughs in a pinch, he's like, take it, Jamar. And Jamar just goes for 60.

And it's very impressive to watch as you're rewatching the season. Because a lot of times there's so many games on, you don't catch all of the games. to re-watch Joe Burrow getting a motor where he's like I'll just give it to Jamar and watch what he does it. Those a small little screen out there. That guy is incredible. Yeah.

Incredible. The thing that surprised me was that this is the first Vikings wide receiver for Justin Jefferson. He's the first Vikings wide receiver to be a 99 overall. I'm like, how was Randy Moss never a 99 overall? Right.

I feel like they didn't really give out 99s. I was going to say the same thing. Only created player like you create yourself. I feel like, yeah, back then it was. probably like one or two guys but yeah how was randy not one of yeah i feel like that's definitely become a thing in the last few years where they're making a big deal out of the 99 club yeah where guys would in the past would be like they'd be like one guy in the whole NFL that was a 99 and everybody else was at 98 or in 97 did i was always in 99 were you because i got your

i got your mad at your madden 2016 will compton on the redskins 70 that's a good that's a good rookie It's a good rookie score. Because previous men's, I don't know why all I'm mad and like, that's five seasons. We obviously know, you know, we know the lore. Yeah. But I always thought I was in the 60s. So this is, uh, this is actually fun to see. 75 in 2018.

They say the biggest jump is between year two and year three in the NFL and you definitely made a five point jump. That wasn't, dude. That's year five and six. Oh shit. That's right. That's right. Speed.

You got faster too. Got faster. People was checking my social media. They could see you. Yeah. What did you want a 4-6? 4-6 on a 4-5-6? Oh, I'm talking about at the combine we did at the Super Bowl.

Oh, 4-9. That was a 4-9. Was it that? Oh, yeah, yeah. We used the out-of-tummy. Yeah, that's fair. One of the best madden arguments of all time was when we heard right before we interviewed Donald Trump and Delaney was talking about, didn't he say he was 99 or something?

He said something crazy. I feel like there's like cards or something you can get where, like, because I'll get tagging things but I got a 99 in Lawn I'm like I've never right been an ultimate team do I feel like you got disrespecting I know every time I see my rankings I'm like what the fuck happened here 879 81 83 88 85 85 81 84 85 81 oh no 90s speed's disrespectful too no 90s and I think like four is like four of your third pro bowl you ain't in the 90s isn't that crazy yeah that's um you they got you I mean you pretty quick Right there?

For a left tackle, that's fast for an offensive lineman. Buddy, I ran a 4-8 though. No, I hear you, but I'm just saying like... Like, give me an 80 or a 78. What are you going to do? Like, why does the left tackle need to have that kind of speed? Because are we trying to make the game like the player? Okay.

Because you want to run left. Fair point. And if he becomes an eligible receiver. Right. Which... Done that. I mean, you can do that for sure with a 75 speed. I mean...

And I will say... this for Big Brain Mitchie back there. He is, he is, he's detailed with all the, with all the video games. Yeah, I know you're, you're begging to. So he's actually saying 75 is a great. I actually just won the national championship with Delaware. Oh, congrats.

Nice, nice, man. Wow. College football 26. Did they get NIH on my name? Probably. I mean, I, I just, this morning when I got in early, I, uh, I filmed myself playing the game and myself, like the TV and myself playing. So I'm going to tweet it out and hopefully I can get a part.

of that like VIP experience for yeah yeah we need that we need that for you michie i grew up going to delaware game so it's kind of cool in take it home cool helmets great great helmets did you play madden a lot when you were younger no no i really i really did i really did it i really didn't i really didn't i always created a black guy i'd be like to i'd be like tyrell tyrone smith chamol jerome lewis smith oh yeah bro i had dreads i was spadding i was just made myself black. No, no. Just fucking, they were dreads.

No, my cat was nasty. I was always begging the Road to Glory on NCA. I thought that was so much fun and I was for the most part black, for the most part. Every once in a while though, I'd be pale. I'd be a pale Paisy's a guy. Yeah, they might be green grubs right now. But dude, I'm stoked for Lane Johnson. That's awesome.

Why is Trent William's not? Again. It's a lot of snubs, dude. Snubs, dude. A lot of snubs. There's a lot of... Trim might have had some injuries last year, too. He had a couple of things going down, but he's still...

But it's like if you're in 98, are you snubbed? Right. When Randy Ma'i... 97, 96, 95? Yeah, who's in that range, I wonder. We did... We did... We did get disrespecting to Matt, and I appreciate you saying this.

Yeah. Every time I saw my rankings, all the boys would be like going off. Man, Dale, you got a trash in this game. I'm the third best player on our team in the game. What we talk about? You're looking down the locker room and I'm a 75. I'm a... Boys, I'm 75.

Give me out there. Give me in the game. Give me out there. I always felt a little something. Derek Henry, he's only had one 99 rating, which is kind of surprising. Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson after their record breaking years. So Randy Moss, he broke the receiving record in 2007. The following year, he didn't get the 99.

Calvin Johnson, after he broke the receiving yards record, he wasn't 99. What was he? 98? Yeah, like 97 or 98. It's really a lot more recent. Where they've been, yeah, the 99 club. The 99 club has become a much bigger deal where they're actually making an event out of it.

They've been chains and shoes and all these different things. Yeah, EA's been doing, they've been playing a heady game. Yeah, they've been doing it. Yeah, because people want to get into it. Yeah. No. Did y'all have any teammates that were always dialed into the Madden ratings? I think it was always the DBs.

Yeah. But the DBs were always like on the game. We had a league. When I was on Washington, there's probably eight of us that played in the Madden League during the season? Yeah. See, I never. They say London Fletcher.

he's kind of a snub over the course of his career for never getting. I guess his highest rating was like a 92. But like according to his stats, he's a, oh yeah, he's a hall of fame. He's somebody who's argued about the Hall of Fame every time it comes around. Isn't he like one of the all-time leading tacklers like in the NFL?

Yeah. He's over 2000. And one of the longest careers for a lineback. 256 consecutive games. Yeah. The Iron Man, London Fletcher, undrafted came from a D3,

I believe. I think he went to, I want to say, I don't it's not Mount Union but it's idea I did go to a really small school yeah and it was for basketball at first this decided to put a helmet on get after it oh I'm gonna make it to leave in your career I don't know three 300 something three maybe in the 350s yeah 2000 bro that is insane there's not many guys

who have 2,000 tackles in their career I thought like a thousand was like it's No, a thousand is insane, but 2000 is fucking... How many years did you play, like 16? Yeah. I think London played 16, 17. Because every time we would talk about your days in Washington, you'd always bring up Fletch and, like, yeah, look at him. Like, he was a guy, like, I can't believe he's still doing it.

Yeah, like, my rookie, my first year on Peace Squad was his last year. And when I got active that very last game, I just, one of my, like, sick-ass moments is, like, I got to back up London Fletcher in the last game of his career. Did you ask for a jersey? No, but I asked for a fucking. photo. Did you? Yeah. Got a little photo where thick boy got the little chicklets in my mouth. You hit one of those? No, no, no. Dang. The only person that has more tackles than him, they didn't

start keeping the stats until 2001, but it's Ray Lewis. Ray Lewis had 2009. Fletcher had 2039. Because Ray played for every two, I think Ray played 17 years. And they're both almost over 200 tackles more than the next people. Junior say out, Derek Brooks, Donnie Edwards, Bobby Wagner. Bobby where's Bobby at he has 1700 as of 2024 think of the think of the career Bobby's had yeah probably has more now after like a thousand is a big deal 1500's a massive deal and he's been he's somebody who's gonna be a Hall of Famer and he's he might not hit 2000 how many Pro Bowls did London Fletcher make I don't he was never all pro I'd yeah let's see I think he was somebody kind of

of like I mean not Levante level but somebody who would get snubbed a lot damn I wonder what goes to a guy's mind like that. When you're getting snubbed for that many years, and there's just a younger cat who has like a better year that year, but might not be better than your like totality of career. Yeah, four-time pro-bowler. Yeah, see, that'd be tough. 16-year career that is arguably a Hall of Fame career

that people debate year in and year out every time it comes in. Levante David has to make it. But I want to... He'll be in the same spot because he's only got one pro bowl. Yeah, but knowing Levante's personality, how do you think he's handling not making a pro bowl every year? Oh, I don't think he... I don't think he thinks too much about it.

Like he might think about it, but he doesn't. Levanti is just a dog, bro. He's just an authentic, he wants to play ball, humble. Loves it. Yeah, just like that Ed Reed kind of quiet, but gets after it. That juices me up. Yeah.

Yeah, because he's still, I mean, yeah, he's still kicking. I think he's going into year 13, 12. 1600 tackles. Crazy. Oh, that's combined. Are you looking at solo or combined? Yeah, you go like with all these numbers, you go off the combined. Which is insane.

That is crazy. That's insane. London Fletcher. Dude, I knew he was going to be a star. I knew he was going to be a star. You got like 30 tackles. 27. We got 20 fucking seven.

London Fletcher should have played one more game because he and Derek Brooks are tied for most consecutive games played at 256. What happened? Derek Brooks and London Fletcher are tied for most. consecutive games played as linebackers at 256. You got to get one more in. He couldn't, bro. Like, even watching him throughout that last year,

it was just like a hard year because he's just, he's older. Like, he'd have to warm up forever. We'd joke with him. Like, when we're out during stretch, you get the WD 40 on for practice. He'd come out maybe on Thursdays. Hmm. But.

Dang. But Derek Brooks. Yeah, that includes postseason for him. Penalties and discipline. Shirm typed in. chat GPT like why wasn't Taylor rated higher in Madden? Taylor-Lawain wasn't rated higher than 88 and Madden for a few key reasons despite his Pro Bowl status and most of them come down to how Madden evaluates lineman his playing style

and contextual factors. Oh, the contextual factors, penalties and discipline. Madden likely downgraded his awareness or discipline-related traits. Yeah. Luan had a reputation for penalties. That's tough. Limited dominance metrics. What are they the dominant metrics?

I'm thinking a lot of hells on this podcast today, man. All my boys. Oh, there were a few more traits, but Shurms not. You must not want to dive into them. I want to get out. We're really breaking this down. Yeah. You guys, just to switch topics, you guys had a little pool party?

Yeah, we had a little summer bash, man. Yeah. Because we talked about what in May boys? Like right around May I was like, hey, sun's coming out, starting to get warmer. Like, let's be sure. We've been talking about it for years. Yeah, we really have about getting all the boys over for a pool party. When I got back last week, I think Tuesday or Wednesday, Jared was like, I guess we're not doing that pool party thing, aren't we?

Well, you go to the events, we have like beer Olympics and it's like, yeah, the spot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. No doubt. And it really was just my brain. I just, I said, hey, we should do this eventually.

And I forget just move on about my business. So when Jared said that, I was not. I was like, yeah, we really got to do it. So I went home that day, talked to Jason. I was like, here's a deal. I love to have the boys over on Friday. They don't, like, we don't need to have like steaks and all this like office of line dinner type thing. But like, would you make burgers and brots?

And I was like, I don't need anything else. I'll just order some pizzas as well. And he's like, no, I'll handle it. I'm like, you don't have to go all I. I'll handle it. He handled it. He fucking handled the ribs, dude. And I think I talked about it.

He talked about it on Thursday, I think. So I because I texted the group. And I'm like, hey, you guys want to do that, the party tomorrow. And then JP responding fast. So I'm like, JP, tell everybody to respond so I know who's coming, who's not coming. And it actually ended up working out great. Dude, I had to sit there and I was looking at it. And I was like, buddy, you're in Canada.

Look outside. Enjoy the views. Enjoy the family vacation. Because it's like, that's a camaraderie builder. We could just do it again this Friday. We really, I mean, Mitch had us on the good game. Mitch had, hey, that was a great game. Shout out the pool game T.

If you've never heard of it, it's a pretty simple game. But I didn't realize how long it was going to take. Dude, it took forever. But before you explain, let me just finish what Jason had. Yeah, yeah. Smash burgers, hot dogs, brats, brisket, and ribs. And he went, all the fixings, everything we needed. Chef even threw in some cowboy caviar.

Okay, chef, Jack. and then cramped up and almost died. Yeah, we were sitting out there after our six-hour game of tea. Tailing walks in our, like, kitchen area. She's like, I heard someone's having like heat stroke out there. I'm like, what the fuck is going on? I walk out, chefs just like down like this.

Apparently, he caught a cramp in the deep end. Oh, buddy. We were standing by. A calf cramp in the pool. Yeah, it was. They hold the ball and they land on their back in the bullshit in the air. So I don't even know what's going on.

I see chef jump and he's like just with back into the water and the ball just kind of dribbles off to the side. I'm like, what the fuck's he doing? And then he gets like pulled up and he's like grabbing. It's like, his leg looks so disconfigured. I literally thought I was like, this motherfucker just snapped his leg in my pool. I thought we were in that. He's like, it's a cramp.

I'm like, he had the legs straight out. He's like, J.P. Grab me because I was in the water and I grabbed him and he just yanks me under. And I just like push him from below the water. Bro, the fear you know, crazy. When you catch a calf cramp in the pool. Yeah, it was. I had to be there like stretching his calf out and everything.

And he- Grab it, grab it, grab it, grab it. I would let go. It would immediately cramp up again. Dude, and it was, like, gnarly looking. I went over, like, got an actual jar of pickles. Took all the juice, gave it to him. And then he goes and sits down to my living room. And I walked in, I'm noticing he's still wearing those wet shorts.

And that's inside living room furniture, isn't it? So I walk by, I go, you dry? And he's like, what was those? Like, nothing, nothing, nothing. He got up. It was wet. Don't tell you. It was wet.

It was wet. But it all got taken care of the dry and it was fine. It was totally fine. I was worried about the chlorine. But it was a good time. Yeah, this game. Shout out to, yeah. So T. Will, you would love this game. Dude, it is a blast. You put, you get a golf tee. It's super simple.

You just put the T at the bottom of the pool and then it floats up. And then as soon as like you think you can jump in and grab it, you have to yell T, you jump. You have to like catch it. And then if you catch it like that rounds over, you're officially safe. And now everybody left has to go and do the same thing.

So when it gets down to like the final. two or three, it's like you're pushing and like shoving and stuff. And like if you if you get jump in the water, you miss the tea, you can't just grab it while you're in the water. You have to get out and re-jump in. But like the people who didn't jump in like can like get it, go in and get it. Because after there's all the splashing and like bubbles around even with first person misses, everybody has lost the tea.

Yeah. So then you're trying to find it. And then it'll like pop up like right next to somebody and just go teep and then go and grab it. But like Cade would fall in there like a water buffalo, bro. every time when somebody giant splash and the thing would go everywhere and you're just like

what the fuck when you yell T is that everybody kind of stops to see if you grab it No you can like three people can jump in at once and all you'll T Jack and I jumped at the same time

one time we both like kind of rolled as we were trying to do it but we like hit we like hit the air Taylor's pushing me as I'm trying to go in I still do hey I will say I will say I will say I was so when we would get on

when we get like towards the deep end Mitch was legit Mitch was like laying out like that would be way out He'd be like, T, dive, and be fully extended. I'm like, ain't no fucking way he grabs that. He would snite that thing. So got to the point, I'm thinking like, okay, if I want to make it to the final,

I got to figure out a way. Started getting rage out there. I was like, I got to figure out a way to get Mitch out of there. So I would go, Mitch would yell T and I would literally give him a push as he was jumping. His body would go sideways, bro. His body goes sideways and he'd still reach out and get the damn tea. It was one of the more impressive things I've ever seen. It's a lot of fun.

The way you were acting. was a little crazy. I was feeling confident because I was talking confident as what he was doing. I, I like had played the game a lot before and like,

you're an athlete. No, introduce the game. So like I have played and know how like when and where to grab it and stuff. So like I do, I will say I had a level up.

I did not make it to the finals. I did not win. Ryan knocked me out. But it, we should run it back from. We got to run it back. We can go back this weekend if you won. Don't ask.

Who? Did you beat? Ryan, Ryan. Oh, he won the first one. Best of three. Yeah,

the finals of best of three. And the first one, I didn't even see him. I go, he just grabbed it, no problem. I got to, I got to get this.

Ryan was low-key nice with it too. He'd be like, Tee. Yeah. You know who is kind of saucy. It never like, didn't really make it until like the final four was Jack. Jack came in with that crazy shot outside.

He was just hanging out with that girl. Like he, they came over and they're like sitting. Jack's like sipping on a beer, talking her up. And then like when the pack would get weeded down a little bit. up and go tea grab that thing go put the tea back up go lean back sit back with her hang out light skin vod like this dude's kind of doing this thing right now you say what light skin

vye yeah yeah for real it was it was fun awesome game he you need to carve out about an hour hour and a half for one game because we had probably 12 dudes start yeah and then by the end of it yeah you're like tired after it's 430 and it's yeah and then we try to play categories after and at that that point we're kind of like Jared's the only one Jared's like one of the Jared said so I sit around play this dumbass game for three hours now we we stop after four four games of categories yeah categories was crazy and I don't understand why you're all trying to go the width of the pool like it's too it's yeah it has to be the long way you know Jared Jared probably likes to play the game where you're just you cradle

somebody and you just guess the colors they don't get it right you dunk him he asked he asked Kay he asked Kay to do that is it blue no Shut the fuck. That's a game? Yeah. Yeah, it's categories with with two people. Yeah, kind of nice. And once you get the correct one, you just get flipped over.

But he was like, Cade. He goes, hold me, man. He goes, dunk me until I get it right. And Cade's like, shut up, dude. That's so funny. Oh, no shit. He had a, yeah. But like, um, clump brought his kids and wife.

Who else? Mitch, you brought your girlfriend, Jared brought his girlfriend. We had, we did have a will there. Who? Well, you're the landscape guy. Oh yeah, yeah, Willie. He was awesome. We pulled up.

We pulled up and he was out there just pulling. I was like, bro, we're going to have like some people over. You can just come over whenever you're done. And he came over, played for a little bit. I'll tell you what, you would have hated. In the beginning, I had to pull basketball set up. And I was kind of just hanging out. And then Mitch and I had to put our hands on a couple of people.

I wouldn't have hated that. Like, you guys want to play pool basketball. No. It's just you know going into it. Like, I'm just saying like the rage of pool basketball. ball goes just beyond boundaries that you can't comprehend. Coop caught an elbow from Matt, like within the first three minutes of playing.

Matt was also talking crazy all day. Yeah, Matt was being Matt. He lost so many aura points throughout the entire day. Dude, that one more thing on Jared, he was like, he's like, I just want to let you know, JP. Like, I don't do this and I do agree fully with your take. But every time I jump into the pool or leg, like, dude, my nose hurts so bad. He's like, I don't plug it, but.

Yeah. I was like, well, you got to blow out. He's like, bro. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news.

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a podcast. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, oh, we were thinking. I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,

and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. 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.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Genshin win. I mean, she went down in three to Roebuckina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me.

And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerner Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now and I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. I just don't know how to do it. I promise I don't plug my nose, but it was so funny.

He doesn't. He doesn't plug it, but I'm like, you're just letting it go up. If I want my back under water, if I like go upside down, I got a plug. It just shoots up there. It gets in my brain and it hurts too bad. You don't open your eyes underwater either. No, I not, no, I don't. I'm not a big open my eyes on here. I'm just out there feeling around.

No, dude. I already got bad eyes. I'll be in there. My eyes will just be beat red. Contacts in, just looking under the water. Contacting is crazy. I don't even wear contacts. When I left Taylor's, like the whole ride home, I'm just like,

I was lorry. Dude, we were out there for four hours, five hours. The amount of pee that was in that pool, it had to be. It had to be. I didn't see. I just lukewarm. He said, dude, he didn't pee in the pool.

Usually I do, but I did not. That night. You're a good man for that. You're a good man for that. Yeah, we might have to run it back this weekend. We should. All right. It was so much.

All right. It was a good time, man. And the pool basketball, Mitch, like, we dominated. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's like a two on two. That's kind of like an unfair match. We did play chef and Matt. So, like, the teams,

We're a bit. Yeah, but I feel like they were kind of... Because it's like, pool basketball. I was like, I'll take whoever, because you guys were playing for a minute. Yeah, me. And so I was like, I'll get a game in, but I was like, I just want you guys to know, like, I play this game for keeps. I play for real.

And then the chef in Coops Boy, Ryan. Yeah. Yeah. They were kind of talking a little crazy. I looked at Ryan before I go, I apologize for what's about to happen to you. And then we went five-0 on them. It's like it's, pull basketball starts as like this gentleman's game. You try to feel out shots.

But the minute it gets physical down low, that's where the entire game. goes I'm calling fouls out there no that don't count ball back out I was watching them play and I'm like no part of me wants to be involved no part it's so fun dude yeah it's six seven bro it's so fun yeah it's your body's out of the water yeah yeah it's a pool tears your feet up though I didn't put some aqua socks on or something my feet were hurting yeah you go see me on Friday this week I'll have a little aqua socks something flop it around out there some little toe I got a pair of those.

They're awesome. Multiple pairs. They are fucking awesome. Get some good grip on the ground. Yeah, you can have more mobile that way. My kids too. When and her friend, uh, McKenzie, who was like at the neighbor girl, they like came over and they were doing the tea thing where they put the tea at the bottom.

The first time, when played the little trick on us where she put the tea at the bottom or faked put it down and held it and kept it and swum back over to me. And you see, I'm like, I was like safe for the next round. There was like, eight guys. There's like, look. You know, I don't see it. And then when just like holds it. it up. And then I was like

once you went that again, I was like, she didn't do it six more times. Yeah. I was letting you guys know. Shirm, you made it out there with the fam? I made it out there with the fan. Boys got to meet Scarlet. They got to meet Scar, Scar. We're out there very briefly. But I had so much fun. I was actually really glad that everybody got to meet Scarlet.

That was fun. It was a good time. She's tiny baby. J.B. goes, she's not real. Yeah. Her fingers looked way more like normal people's fingers than baby's fingers. Yeah. Yeah, but tiny.

I was just like, because they're long and thin. I was like, oh my gosh, I never seen a baby like this. She's skinny. Yeah. And she was comfortable. She was comfortable. She was. Yeah.

I told the story on For the Dads this week as well, so more detailed there. But Jill, double packed formula for your swim party all in one container and forgot about that and dumped it all into a bottle when I texted you that we're feeding. Scarlett in your driveway. Yeah. So she got the equivalent of like three-time feed. And dude, it came out later that night, like in the diaper. It was nuts out. Is that the tweet you put up?

Yeah. It was bad. All right. We ended up this episode to bring you neutral. Have you tried neutral? If not, you're missing out. Neutral is so much better than any other seltzer I have personally ever tried. It's made with real vodka and real juice.

And that's what makes it delicious. Neutral comes in a variety of flavors. personally I'm a pineapple and lime guy but there's a whole bunch out there you can go ahead and try neutral is the perfect drink to bring when you're hanging out with friends and trust me boys it is such a crowd pleaser neutral let's keep it tasty let's keep it tasty back to the episode

we did have a conversation as you were leaving we did about happy Gilmore I hadn't seen it yet but I was very excited about the opportunity I haven't got to watch you I've been seeing everybody's takes out there yeah and I want to who has seen it. Okay. JP, that's surprising. I was at a wedding this weekend. I'd love to hear you guys' takes. I can give mine, but I want to hear what you guys have to say as well. I watched the original Happy Gilman before just because I'm like, you know they're going to do a bunch of

nods and little callbacks. And I feel like in the second one, they did a good job. It felt like an ode to the first movie. I've seen the positive comments. I've seen the negative ones. I'm on the side. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Yeah. There was moments in it. And and certain storylines that people are like, this was a stretch. And I'm sure the people who've seen it know, like, how the movie begins. And like how the whole, just storyline is set up pretty ridiculous.

But, I mean, there's so many cameos. It's like the top 10, 20 best golfers in the entire world. Five of them are like actual characters in the movie. It was funny, like, I don't know, probably an hour, hour, 20 minutes in. I was like, damn, I was like, we've interviewed at least four people in this movie. far on Bustin. I was like, that's kind of cool.

Yeah. But I had so many good laughs. They did a good job like painting back to certain characters in the old movies. The thing is though, I had such low expectations for this movie when like a generational film like Happy Gilmore transpires, 30 years later they make a sequel. Obviously that it is never going to live up to what the original was. I think they did a good job shifting the storyline, having fun with it, being stupid dad, humor at points.

Like it was a two hour movie, which I enjoyed the length of it. But yeah, I mean, there was no part of me that was ever going to dislike the movie. Like, I would have been disappointed maybe if it was just like boring. But I thought the cameos were good. I thought there was just like fun laughs. And it was exactly what I was expecting it to be. But I want to hear, did you enjoy it or not enjoy it? I really liked it.

Okay, cool. Because I went to the lake this week with my family and one of my dad's friends was there. And he's like 55. Me and my brother-in-law, I've been talking about it. He sits down. He's like, y'all seen a. He goes, y'all seen that happy Madison too yet. And I'm like, it's happy Gilmore.

You fucking retard. No, I'm kidding. But he started shitting on it. And I'm just keeping my mouth shut. I'm like, he doesn't get it. He doesn't get it. I think that's people that have unrealistic expectations. Yeah, he's like, there's way too many cameos.

I'm like, dude, what? That's what that movie is going to be. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. I, so I don't know. I think it was Jordan Schultz texted me. And he's like, this is before we put out his take about how bad the movie was.

He's like, what did you think about the movie? And I was like, I'm only, because I watched like half of it. And then I had to go. I was so exhausted. It was Friday night. And then Saturday, we finished it. And I was like, dude, I think it's really good because I have, I would not even put it near Happy Gilmore One. Happy Gilmore One is its own entity.

And I hope to God Adam Sender figures out a way to make all his classics before he like retires and it's all over. But he was mad. I don't know how to get around this without giving spoilers with James. Pee and Will, but the beginning. Just in the beginning that changes his entire life. Which is absurd. Yeah.

I think without that. But listen, this is my, I looked into it. That movie came out in 1996. Happy, happy, happy, good one. Adam Sandler got married in 2003. So I think that has to do a big plot with it, with a, having that type of a relationship in a movie. And also, all of his kids are in that movie.

Yeah. And tell me you didn't get teared up when his daughter looks at him and she's like, you remind me a lot of my dad. Yeah. And you're like, fuck, that's real. Even though that is her, you know what I'm saying? I love the cameos. I thought Travis did a great job.

Yeah. I thought he did. I thought John Daly did a great job. Awesome. Is it Bad Bunny? Am I? Bad Bunny was incredible. He was really, he was a great actor.

Dude, and it was even a cameo. He had a full-blown role in that movie. I thought his little cousin, Marcello, he was funny. Dude, he was great too. And he does a great job in S&N. like yeah overall it's so much fun they play into so many like jack said so many fun storylines they even play into like internet lore of just like golf um i thought the the way it ends like the back half the movie is so ridiculous but i thought it was so funny yeah i thought

the last 25 minutes i was going to say that's where it kind of like if the whole movie was like that i could have sat on the other side of the fence right because i thought they did a great job of like this is why he quit this is why he came back look at it no he does this oh he has a fall off all the he did it a great job with that and then it's like we got to go and play this game for golf and then like that game is like 10 minutes long i want to see the suspense of everything because the first happy gilmer when he's playing at shooter mcgavan which by the way shooter mcgavan the dynamic of that was incredible you see the video too where he gave him the the jacket is that in the movie or was that like a side video that's just that's just on set they gave him the

gold jacket to wear. Yeah, but like, it does a great job of getting you to the point of like, all right, we're about to have this face off. And they're like, seven holes. And it's just so fast pace and you're kind of like, which is kind of nice. You kind of get lost. I don't like that. I was kind of hoping for a little more drawn out.

Maybe he has another struggle. He goes back to his happy place type of thing. Like, he tried. And he went back to his angry place. Yeah. But I thought it was. Another part that I enjoyed it. I really liked about it is the director is, uh, the director and one of the guys from

workaholics. Yeah. knew a check. Yeah. If that gives you any insight to like humor that's in the in the movie. Yeah. I thought the humor was solid. I thought it was exactly what it needed to be right.

An Adam Sandler remake. Anyone that. Yeah, I don't feel like I can not like it because you're just, you just wanted to see the guys get the, uh, I was going to say happy to go more than I was going to say Billy Madison, but Adam Sandler how he puts in all of his boys. He puts all of his boys in his movies.

They are all in there. They are all in there. They're all in there. They're all in. talking about he has like writers or people he's worked with in the past how he's just kind of put them in the movie all the cameos i just love i just love how adam sandler operates with his production company happy madison productions and everybody you see you see comments where it's like hey he's he's one of the good guys in hollywood and you can you just know that adam sandler's a guy who's just always had fun and made movies the way he's want to because this is like here here's the heater that he was on from the 90s to the early 2000s billy madison happy gilmore the wedding singer the water boy big Big Daddy, Little Nikki, Mr. Deeds, eight crazy nights, 50 first dates. Like, the dude had a catastrophic run and he's still making movies and paying homage back

to the old. The people just enjoy the Adam Sandler vibe. And just sitting down and watching, I don't feel like I can be unless it's like once I see the end of the movie that you guys are talking about. It's kind of hard to botch what he's going to do. You're going to love it. It's like, to me, the movie's impossible to botch if you have the right expectations for it.

If you're like, I'm putting this up against Happy Gilmore One, then yeah, yeah, you're going to be mad. I was so excited going into it, like pacing around the living room, like, right? We're about to watch Happy Gilmore too. Dude, my kids will look forever to go to sleep that night. I'm thinking, bro, my God, I fucking watch this. Yeah.

Like, and I was probably not the best dad in that moment, but I was thinking about me. I'm about Adam Sandler, really. Yeah, I mean, this is. You just seen him come on camera. You're just like, I feel like you're just going to be in a good mood watching it. Yeah. That's why I hope they make like a wedding crashers too, not to compare it to the first one, but just to see Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn and another movie together together.

Well, the internship does that for you. Right. And I enjoyed that. It's not as good of a movie as the wedding crash. I still really enjoyed the movie, but you just see the dynamic. Yeah.

The back and forth. Dude, if Adam Sandler could do Billy Madison, do redo all those movies. I know. A couple of them would be like, I'm thinking about Billy Madison. Hold on,

hold on. If they remake Waterboy and we don't make it in that movie, I'm committing arson. Not sure where or when, but it will happen. What's making you feel? feel that way.

Dog, because the movie, this Happy Gilmore 2. A lot of podcasts in it. A lot of podcasts in it. And I'm thinking, yeah, I'm not a massive fan of golf.

However, we got a solid podcast and I'm a huge fan of Adam Sandler. Would have loved. What would have loved to know that they were doing. That's two out of three. Two out of three, dude.

That's solid. That's a passing grade. I will say on Twitter, there's been a lot of hate towards Happy Gilmore to you. Josh Pate put out his take on it. And the only thing I'll say, I'll keep this quick, is if you're going into an Adam Sandler movie and expecting, like, it to change film, like, you are going into it with the wrong mindset.

Yes. All these Happy Mask and films are pretty much paid for before they even hit streaming, before they even hit theater. Every single scene has product placement. If you go back and watch Happy Go More 2, every single scene has product placement where they are holding it and they are saying their line and it's right there. Like the movie is bought and paid for. Now they're just having fun with it. He's got past directors he's worked with playing main characters. He's got writers of movies that he's been in playing characters.

He's got his wife, kids, family members. Like he doesn't give a fuck if you like his movie. He's having fun with his friends making movies. So, yeah. Ben Stiller's daughters in it too. Yes. Which is awesome. And son.

She's like one of the cashiers at the gas station or something. something like that. And there was a guy on Instagram breaking down like here's the top 75 cameos. Yes. The daughter of the CEO of Netflix is in it. Like everybody's in this movie. He's not making it. So you go, oh my gosh, it's better than Happy Gilmore one.

Right. That was not the goal. I thought, dude, the beginning of the movie. Yeah. When he's like, it's doing it's the same way as he's explaining his life and Happy Gilmore one. He explains it and Happy Gilmore 2 like what's happened since. Incredible.

It is it's solid dude It's a good movie Also Sandler Without giving too much away He really plays such a good Like depressed drunk Yeah He really does

He just has a dumb bit of everything's Just in a ball Like he's drinking the cucumber Yeah Go watch you I know dude Fuck it's good Uncle John daily

Did an awesome job Did an awesome job The hand sanitizer I was seeing that People were talking about How Trave killed his cameos Trav killed. Yeah.

So I was text with Trav about it. And he said the first scene he shot. The first thing he shot was the bear scene. No. Yes. And now I was like, bro, that's got to be the most difficult. Welcome to set. Yeah.

Just, hey, this is what we're going to do today. And I'm not going to get into it anymore, but you'll see. Okay. You'll see. But bad bunny. Bad Bunny. Don't know a whole lot about the guy. But banger music?

Awesome. He's a banger actor too. He just been in a few. I don't have you seen Bullet Train the movie? Yes, with Brad Pitt. He's like the wolf, the Mexican guy that they, like, poisoned his wedding. Is he really? That's him.

He's a solid actor. Bro, because that movie is really good. It's an awesome movie. And I feel like no one really talks about that movie. Have you seen Bullet Train? You got to see that. I know, that's another one, too. I've watched a movie three times now.

I haven't seen, I want to watch Superman. I want to watch Fantastic Four. Superman doesn't. It was. I have zero. want to. Why don't you want to see Superman? You're not a superhero guy though.

Yeah, you're probably right. Like, there's superhero movies. I love Deadpool. But like, yeah, I don't, the traditional, I love Batman. Yeah, because yeah, that's just like an incredible movie. And Deadpool, too, is like a comedy. Yeah. Yeah.

I guess I'm just not. Maybe I'm not. But I saw Fantastic Four about what in 2000s when I came out? It's a good movie. Great. I'm going to see the new one tonight And I'm pumped I'm excited

Yeah I want to see those Really? I've been here in positing In the older fantastic Jess Galba Oh yeah How you make her I forgot that that was her

Oh yeah I mean Brad Pitt plays the Vanisher I'm just saying I'd rather look at Jess Galva Oh shit for real Brad Pitt's up there He is but he's not

It's a one A Should we talk some... Who's one egg? Maybe Jesse Alba. Should we talk some football headlines? We got the Hall of Fame game this Thursday. Football's officially back, starting on Thursday. Back!

Football's back! Obviously, officially, officially back at the end of the month or beginning of September when the regular season starts. However, football is back. Yes. Yeah, we do have Theo coming in here in about 15 minutes. That's right. Where should we start?

There's been a lot of headlines. I was seeing some stuff in Canada. I saw Traylon Burks. he's on a i r broke his collarbone which is like just does another does a press conference right before being like what's if it's been this year and last year he's like i'm healthy and dude that sucks man i think i saw buck rising's tweet where it's like this is his contract year too so breaking your collarbone yeah yeah i mean it's four years yeah four years

he's had injuries over and over and over again and he's the the kids talented collarbone's not i don't want to say it's easy enough to come back from but you can like get a plate in there do the rehab and like you'll be back in yeah but what What I'm saying is like hard going out. For sure. He was fighting for like a second string spot. Yeah, hard going out. The empathy factor is just like, you know, he was a first round pick.

He's had up and down so far because that pick was him, him getting to the Titans because of the A.J. Brown trade and all of that stuff we can talk about. Ownership probably feels seeing their, seeing Trayland Burks get injured. But just knowing like he's going into his contract year, you know mentally and individually, he knows he's got a chip on a shoulder, has a lot to prove. Yeah, I saw. And going down for the year. Like, yes, he can come back from it.

But this is, I know in his mind personally, a massive year to kind of show out. Yeah. You know, ownership's just like, fuck. Yeah, they're just like, God damn it. I mean, they're not thinking about the empathy portion of it. They're thinking about their investment. Yeah. They're watching AJ win a Super Bowl and go off and they're just like this.

Because who's been their first, who's been like the history of first picks recently? Yeah, well, I can't remember who wrote out this tweet. But I commented. I was like, I knew this, but I hated seeing it. written down. Was it Clay Travis? Yeah. Clay Travis wrote like 20 like Titans history 2020, 2020, 2021, 22,

Isaiah Wilson, Caleb Farley. And then finally, um, Traylon Burks. I forgot about Caleb. And it's like, bro, that is a tough set of guys. It's nothing against them at all. Like they, they, maybe, maybe, definitely against Isaiah Wilson. Isaiah Wilson. He fucked up his own shit.

But like, uh, Caleb Farley, my experience with him, he was always a guy that wanted to do good, which is always caused by injuries. I was going to say he had kind of injuries coming in when they drafted him. He had back surgery before and an ACL, right? Yeah. But the reason, I think the reason why they went and took him, because he was a, like, a top five pick type of guy and missing his last year. Because they were talking about him being like honey badgers, right?

A.C.L. But Jeffrey Simmons gets picked and he obviously pan out. He was coming off an ACL from Mississippi State. They ended up taking him 18th overall. So I'm sure John Robinson is thinking, I'll let, I want to take this kid. so we get the most value at us, somebody let him get healthy, and then we'll have a stud.

Yes. Now we get to pick it at the 20 second spot or whatever Caleb was picked at. I understand the logic there. Isaiah Wilson is as big of a swing and a miss as you can possibly hit. I remember sitting with the strength coach, I think it was Frank.

He asked me about Isaiah Wilson during camp. And he's like, what do you think about this kid? I know he's super talented. He'll never play a meaningful snap for the Tennessee Titans ever. And I think he played four snaps that season got cut.

Yeah. I mean, it's just tough. And then trailing, like you, imagine being Trailing Burks and having that type of expectation put on you when you have AJ Brown who was arguably the best receiver that the Titans have ever had or going to be like if he stayed with the Titans, he's going to be the best receiver of Titans ever had. They trade him away to pick you. And now you have all these injuries. I'm sure at some point you get the yips. You think about Marcus Mariotto's interview. Talk about the injuries.

They started compile on him. He starts getting in his own head. Like I'm sure that's happening with Trailing quite a bit right now. He's sitting somewhere rehabbing this collarbone like in an absolute blender. But yeah, Clay Travis, putting out bad vibes. Putting out bad vibes. Yeah, it's tough, man.

You see Dionne Sanders seems like he's going through it. I know as we're recording this show, he's got a press conference coming out. I wish we got to consume it before. Nothing's been released as of right now. But, man, I, I, I, the stuff that he had a video that dropped yesterday is talks about how mentally it's been a struggle with the last. a few days in the hospital or wherever he was at.

And he was like, this is the first time I've had to write a will and think about like not being here. Wow. So he's got to be in something because it's just, it's weird to see him not around the team or not starting at training camp and all this kind of like, everybody's wondering what's going on with them.

But I would, rumors are, rumors right now are the cancer. Yeah. But he's had the toe. He's had like the circulation problems. You all we're talking about earlier. That would be brutal, bro.

You all were talking earlier about he had a video that he looked tough in. It looked like he's been going through it. Yeah. Can you pull that video up? It's like he's just sitting on, he's sitting in a room whether it's a hospital bed or something.

He's kind of on his phone and just kind of talking about, like it's a vlog that'll be coming out too. Just talking about how difficult it's been and how he had to write a will. I just hope, man, I hate to think of the worst. Yeah, a guy like him too, who's been.

just as legendary as he could possibly be. Oh, buddy, just an icon at every stage of life that he's been in. Yeah. Always been the man. Yeah. I wonder if his health issues were like preexisting or something that he kind of

like didn't take care of himself because like as a two sport athlete and one of the most dominant athletes in like NFL like how is like your circulation a problem. I don't know if that's like hereditary or something. That's more hereditary. Yeah. Any type of heart condition or like high blood pressure, cholesterol, that can be just genetics.

I mean, this video, I mean, I guess you'd see like, it's kind of, he looks a little run down. Yeah, it looks like he's lost a bunch of weight. Yeah. The amount of pills he takes every morning is crazy. He was running through it with Shannon Sharp. And it was like close to like 40. Man. Where like every day he's got to do it.

He's go, Gary Brecker. Yeah, I mean You know he's got to be talking to the top people I was going to almost assume he's talking to the top people Like I don't know man I hope he's all right Yeah Because that'd be tough

We'll see with the press conference Obviously you guys are listening to this now The press conference is out But Yeah That is tough Something that kind of just happened Bryce Harper

Apparently he was like Nose to nose with Manfred like the MLB commissioner and was like, Manfred's going around to all of the clubhouses because the MLBPA and MLB contract is like up in 2026. So, you know,

they're trying to avoid a lockout. And MLB wants to create a salary cap for the players. Obviously, the players don't want that. And apparently Bryce Harper was nose to nose with him and was like, get the fuck out of here if you ever want to talk about, or if you're trying to talk about the salary cap. And like literally face to face with the. commissioner telling him to have a fall.

Can you imagine in the NFL? Dude, I mean, there's a lot of union stuff going down. Did you guys talk about that stuff last week? We did. I said, you know, we've had our back and forth, but the PA. I was like, I don't want to get too much into it, but this one kind of leans towards what I've been saying. What do you mean?

It's a crooked, it's a crooked union. Yeah, I mean, that's such a blanket statement for a lot of people that put in a lot of artwork. There's a lot of work. Like, J.C. Treter is a guy that I think has put in a lot of work. I'm sure there's a lot of good things. You know where my. opinions about that goes back to my PED and how there was truly no way for me to get out of that.

And so I had a really hard time. All seriousness, I don't know a whole lot about it other than this guy. Lloyd? Lloyd Howell? Lloyd Howell, he's like going to strip clubs. He's, you know, riding the office of business expense. I feel like that's more like smoking mirrors. Like that happened and that's a bad thing.

But I feel like media-wise, it was making a circulation as more of like, this is the topic of why he's stepping away. But if you look at Pablo Torres and Mike Floreo from PFT for football talk, they do these, Pablo Torres finds out his show. There's a couple episodes that breaks down a lot of the inside details of the union and the NFL and how there's been possible collusion between both parties. And it is fascinating, bro. It's definitely one of those things like I put out my tweet about JC, like him stepping in as the interim executive director and just all the findings throughout the past couple of years.

I kind of put out my tweet a little emotionally because that interim executive director was going to get voted on and figured out the next day. But dude, it is fascinating stuff. If you have time, if you have a couple hours of time and you check out the Pablo Torres

finds out between the NFL and the NFLPA, it is wild. Because it's like the NFLPA found things to say that the NFL's colluding against doing having guaranteed contracts for players because of Deshaun Watson. The NFL, the, the owners, it's like who's going to tell all it, like what owner's going to tell Jerry Jones, hey, here's how you all got to pay your players, because they're all going to operate their own way. They're all like independent of each other. Their own entity. Under the umbrella of the NFL. There's this management council that the NFL ownership consults with. And the idea is, think of the management council is like the Illuminati. Whatever they're suggesting, they're telling you, hey, we're suggesting this. But you should optionally go this way, kind of like OTAs. Like, hey, you should optionally be here.

If they suggest it, you follow those rules. So that way the NFL can stay clean on, these are suggestions. We're all meeting with counselor, consultants to do this stuff. But then when I want to say the first domino was Kyler Murray's contract got done. And then there's text exchange between the Chargers owner and the Arizona Cardinals owner saying, hey, this is a really good job with your contract. This will help us on our quarterback on our contract next year, not guaranteeing Kyler Murray a fully guaranteed contract.

Yeah. So he was the first time. Then you got Herbert. Then it was like Russell Wilson didn't take like a fully guaranteed deal or something. J.C. Treader is like on Texas Exchange with either D. Marie Smith or somebody that was on the executive team being like talking about how how dumb it was to not have a fully guaranteed deal. NFLPA brings it to light of this possible collusion. Then the NFL, they hire an arbitrator. They don't make it public.

They keep it private. They hire an arbitrator that comes in. And when you bring it an arbitrator, it's like, you know, whoever the lawyer is coming in to work on it, you're kind of going to go with the way of the biggest, who has the. biggest sort, which would be the NFL. Arbitrator says there's not enough findings here to prove collusion, but there's text exchanges with a few different owners. I'll just use the Chargers and Cardinals as an example, but there's a few owners that have been talking back and forth about we're not guaranteeing contracts anymore from this

management council's suggestion to not do it because it's not good for business. And when the arbitrator came back and said, there's not enough here to prove collusion, NFLPA stayed quiet about it and kept it just kind of swept it under the rug. and the fascinating stuff with like Lloyd Howell, J.C. Treader and all that. J.C. Treter was the, I voted for him as the executive director that first time around when we were going

through those CBA negotiations. This is in 2000, 2018, 19. Yeah, it was like right before COVID hit. I think it was 2019, in that range. Yeah, yeah. That is me. I've been like in the weeds trying to listen to all this stuff.

It sounds like you. It sounds like really, because the only thing we really talked about was the thing we saw with Lloyd, but you're saying that's smoking mirrors that definitely plays that seems like a very smaller game compared to all this collusion stuff. Because I got a couple of texts from a couple of big dogs in the league being like,

have you checked this stuff out, you guys should be talking about this, yada, yada, yada, or you should put everybody on blast. And so I'm thinking, I don't even know what's going on. So I was spending those days trying to go through everything. And then the interesting thing with the J.C.

Treader Lloyd Howe stuff is when J.C. Tredder became the president. That was when D. M. D. Murray Smith contract was up as the executive director. So J. treter is head of hiring the next. He's a lead dog with the executive committee to hire the next ED. That ED was Lloyd Howell. Lloyd Howell already had a job with the Carlisle Group,

which is a private equity firm that is on a very short list of organizations or private equity groups that can invest in NFL teams and organizations for minority ownership. So right there's a massive red flag for conflict of interest. Lloyd Howe was a consultant with the Carlisle Group, knowing that that was known he was also hired as our executive director. J.C. Treader gets cut from the Cleveland Browns, and as you know, if you're an active player and you get cut and you don't have like you're not active on a team, you can't sit in as the president. But eventually Lloyd Howe creates a whole other position to bring J.C. treter back on the staff as like a strategic guy for all these findings.

And then all of this stuff, this 61-page document that Pablo Torres and then break down about all this collusion, the owners texting back and forth. what happened here each step of the way. Pablo Torres gets his hands on this 61-page document that hasn't been seen by anybody. It has been made public. Pablo Torres is making it all public and showing these unfoldings. And people are talking about how Lloyd Howe is, you know, he needs to get out. The PA needs to get him out of there.

Then comes the smoking mirrors, Lloyd Howe stepping down and resigning. And then the J.C. Treader, he doesn't want no part of it. I would love to pick J.C.'s brain and figure out and ask some questions about it. You didn't go fill your hat in the ring a little bit. That's so much work, dude. Think about, think of, that there is a shitload of work. The spot that we're always up against is like there's tiers of players in the NFL to where you wish guys were fully invested in the PA and trying to get all the best stuff. But then when you dangle a carrot, hey, we'll give you $100,000 signing bonus.

We had that, you had that conversation about how the issue with having guaranteed contracts is you have to have quarterback started. Quarterbacks have to have fully guaranteed contracts and then it'll slowly trickle down position by position. Eventually, you'll have it. but anytime you go into a lockout CBA or CBA they go into we want higher negotiations we want more more piece of the pie as far as revenue share and all that when it goes to the players but all the all the teams have to do is give it to the guys that are like bottom of the total pole as being like hey we'll give you guys a hundred thousand dollar signing bonus we'll add yeah the minimum we'll be now higher go from 720 to 920 or whatever it is now then that's the majority of the NFL

because the life the life in the NFL could be a year at a time how can I guess how can I go be a guy like me who's making as much as I'm making and look at a guy who's on practice squad and be like bro you've got to hold out for this and it's like bro he's got bills to pay too you got over 2,000 guys or around 2,000 guys in the NFL collectively that are active it's hard to get 2,000 guys on the same page for the union for the executive committee for the leadership team all the way to the tip top to go against these 32 billionaire experts that they're always dialed in it's like when we were having that CBA meeting about wanting to get potentially locking out or holding out when we're having that meeting there's a voting that's

happening the next day and half the league or half the voters already voted as players before we could all get together and even talk about what we should do. And even when that CBA got figured out, about 70% of players that most in the league even voted on it. So people aren't even aware of all this stuff going on. I just, I wish players would invest more. I wish representatives would be talking more and get, get everything tighter more and hire a fucking leader who knows how to lead the PA and not have some scumbag who's got conflict of ventures with private equity groups and is in bed with the NFL also leading the union. Yeah.

But the issue that you're running into is a guy who's looking to the future being like, how do we fix these issues? You're looking at guys like me being like, bro, I'm just trying to play football and essentially have a good time, make some money and create a legacy for myself. Yeah, it's tough to get everybody on board. And you have guys are too near-sided and two zoomed into their own world. And getting football players, active football players, to zoom out and actually focus on things bigger than that what just they have going on, that's very far and few between.

For sure. You probably have one or two guys on each team. Let's do this. I'm going to listen to that podcast you're talking about. Let's break this down a little bit more in next week's episode. Our guest is here. Yes.

We get to see each other around town, but we haven't gotten to come and do this for a while. Yeah, this is awesome. Happy to be here, man.

and thank you guys for your patience too. One thing I love about you is every time we're around each other, you're just out there taking photos. I remember we're at the U.S. Random photos in the wild. Yeah, you mind if I get a photo real quick? I'm like, yeah, dude, for sure. And I go to like, get ready for a pose and you just face the camera at me.

Oh, yeah. Me and Will take a photo of us. I appreciate you, man. Yeah. And then you get a one. And every time I see you, there's a photo being taken place. Like you took one of us right before we started this. Yeah, yeah.

I don't like being in them anymore. I'm so sick of seeing myself. So I'm just like, you got, you know, you guys get in them. I can't even smile anymore. My smile broke like about 18 months ago. And yeah, I can't even do it. It's like it doesn't, I think I just did it so much. I can't do it.

And maybe that sounds crazy, but I just, I think I just need like a break or something. Break from smiling or break from photos. Probably a break from, yeah, smiling, having reactions to things. I don't know. It's like so much gets documented over time. You know, it's like, I don't know. So yeah, but yeah, man, always great to see you guys at the, UFC and stuff.

So much fun, dude. It's so much fun. Like, so lucky to be able to sit there and watch the fights and, like, be around, like, some of your buddies go. We got to go to the Dustin Porrier one, and I got to bring my sister got to go, which was crazy. John Shahidi got her some tickets, which was so sweet. And they brought, I think, her boyfriend in some kind of, I don't want to say mentally impaired a man or whatever, but you knew it, you know. and and and and uh and uh and he had a first name i'm not i don't want he did have a first name i don't sometimes people are like this is him and they don't even say i was like dude that guy has a name

yeah yeah he works offshore right um but uh but so that was great and then like my friends from growing up some of them got to come so it was crazy dude they're like we're all sitting right there it was so much fun how far you grew up in louisiana how far from new orleans did you grew up. I grew up probably 47 minutes away. Yeah. What was that childhood like? I've seen you break down a whole bunch of stuff, but what was it like growing up in Louisiana? Oh, a lot of, you know, a lot of human reverb out there. Uh, you know, a lot of, you know, a lot of, um, I would say kind of genetic, kind of like, who done it, you know? Yeah. You know, like at anybody's house, it could have been like one of those like missed murder mystery like dinners or whatever. Yeah. You know, but

somebody been murdering that ass, you feel me? Because it, yeah, it was semi-incesty, I would say, or whatever, you know? Just people, you know, they had a guy in our class as felony American, they said his dad was his brother or whatever. So just like, a lot of like clue, like kind of like

sexual clue, I guess. Yeah. Sexual board games. Yeah. Consistently. Yeah, just a lot of, yeah. A lot of just, I don't know. How are you doing? Good? Yeah. Good.

Sorry. I'm jacked up. I've been fasting, dude. So I think I'm like kind of like ride and that, you know, that energy will kind of hit you a little bit. Oh, yeah. What hour are you in right now with fasting? I'm probably about hour 40. I'm going to eat this afternoon.

So I'm excited about that. What did you do 40 hours? I just been doing it a lot recently, man. I did like four days and that felt good. And then now I'm just like every, I would say I'm like once a week. I'll do 30 hours. It just makes me feel. feel like a little bit more control. I can think faster.

What else do I like about it? Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, news? Huge news. 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. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.

Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the I-Honis. Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis. And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian win. I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me.

And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. I guess, yeah, I can think faster.

and it feels like a little bit more of a challenge sometimes, you know. Dude, I'm so pumped you're on. You've, I mean, you're hilarious. You've made people laugh for a very long time. Do you ever like get tired? Like, do you ever feel an expectation when you're in a room of like, I have to be funny? And I kind of don't feel like being funny right now.

Or does that ever get like tiring? Because you're, you're, dude, you go on YouTube, but you can find stuff where it's deep, thoughtful stuff. Like, you're in motivation. You're in like motivation university now. You're like on that YouTube page where people are giving game. You're also like the most clippable dude. I feel like of all time to where you're having funny moments.

Does it ever get like, you know, walking in a room and you feel like you just have an expectation on you? Let me think about it for a second. I don't. I think the tough part is if you're in a place where you don't know a lot of people. Because then it feels like, yeah, maybe there's some expectation. or you know now like you have to like you might have to take photos of people and stuff which is cool but that takes up a lot of the interaction so whereas before if you didn't know people and people didn't know you then you could just conversate and you could kind of be a surprise that was one

thing I liked about I think being funny when I was young was it was a surprise right so when it's a surprise dude there's so much more as possible because nobody has any clue you might be funny or might be different or whatever so that I think was something that I really really miss like just like, just like being in a place and being like, these motherfuckers don't know what's going to happen. And they're thinking, who the fuck is this guy? Yeah. So that I love like just see, you could see people walking off in the distance, like apologizing

to their mothers for things that were said in company. You know, like shit like that. I love like that kind of thing. I think I really like kind of miss to be honest with you. But then sometimes when you're around friends and stuff like that and people that you don't feel there's an expectation. Recently I've been feeling like a little bit more. like funnier from like kind of like

I don't know that might sound egotistical say but I like I like I used to enjoy being myself a lot of times and then yourself kind of becomes a product I think that gets a little bit strange sometimes but yeah because your fame levels high bro like legitimately your podcast is like one of the top five

in the world I feel like you anytime you drop another episode it's just some fascinating figure that's massive in whatever space they're in I was just asking you before we came on like yo Jo Jo Jo Jo Jo Jo Jo Jo Like you're getting on insane people. It's just, yeah, your level has been, it's been awesome to watch. It really has.

It seems like there's been a lot of like different trials. Thanks, man. Like you've been kind of, you've jumped around. You had like, I think in like 2020, you had like three or four podcasts you're doing all one time. Then you move here and you're kind of bouncing back and forth from L. I don't know if you still do that, but it seems like you've really honed into something that you truly want to do.

Yeah. You really just talking to guests now that like you're a character, you're, you're an individual. that people are going to come to see you. And then it really is, like, the guest is like a little bonus. The fact that you have a big guess is awesome. But like you are a guy that people are just like interested in knowing more about. It seems like you've really taken on like a Rogan-esque type of approach to the way you do podcasts. Like Kreischer was on here talking about how he does his podcast.

He doesn't prepare at all. And then he was talking to you and you're like, all right, I had to go study for my, this podcast I have to do tomorrow. Did you, have you always been a guy that's like, I have to study for all these things? Or was like, I'm just going to let it fly. Oh, I'll let it fly. and then it flew off, you know? That was the thing. I got to the point where I was like,

damn, there's nothing in the nest. You know, I didn't just didn't, like I think I got a little bit, maybe brain dead or something about it. Just like, well, I started realizing like, I think sometimes I started realizing there is like important people that I could talk to that like I could learn something from, right?

And so, and then if I can learn it, then other people can just be like a listener, basically try to become like a listener for other people. And I know that sounds a little bit egotistical, but I didn't really think of it that way. I just felt like, fuck, people are listening.

I don't want to waste their time, right? That was, I think, a thought. And so, yeah, sometimes, man,

we get to talk with some neat people. There has been more like celebrity type folks. I think we're going to try to get back in and getting more regular folks. But then it's a, the, the tough part is like finding time to research guests and do all that. It's just like, it's been hard to do so many things.

And so I'm trying to get a little bit more help. And so, yeah, that we can kind of just continue to do it or keep it interesting. You know, there's a lot of neat people out there. I'd like to talk to more people that are in recovery or more people that have been through certain experiences, stuff like that. You go from that and, you know, getting shouted out during the victory speech for President Trump, the boys, we were all sitting there too. sitting together right now, yeah. Isn't that, it just wild? You guys did too.

Yeah. What the fuck. Isn't that just weird? Just all of us here on the bus. It's the craziest thing ever. It's horrible? It's highly irresponsible of America. I feel like,

yeah, yeah. But hey, I woke up the next day to all these sexes. You got a shout out. It was like 1.30 in the morning. I was like, what? Yeah. See Dana White just given. Dude, you're telling me bus, sorry to interrupt you,

but I'm gonna. But do you, are you, never mind, go on. What were you saying? No, that was about it. That was about it. You got it. I'm just joking, dude.

But no, you guys, I mean, it's like the fact that you guys are going to shout out, you guys fucking drive a bus, right? You guys are like girls going wild without any chicks. Do you're like, well, at least one broad get on this bus? You know what I'm saying? Like the closest, most beautiful thing you had on here was Josh Allen. So it's like, it's like the simple fact that that is getting like referenced, I think is bizarre.

It's just a sign of the times that everything's like WWE now. Yeah. I do, yeah, I think all that had to do with Dana White. You know, Dana is like a facilitator. He's a guy that gets things done. That guy's pretty magical, I think. And if anybody, I think, had a big hand in that election stuff. It was Dana probably.

Oh, yeah. I mean, him and Musk were the two guys that seemed like they were pushing the rowing the boats the hardest. Yeah. If anybody else. And Musk is out there just gooming or whatever they call it. Gooning. Gooning right now. He's always fucking murping or whatever they call it.

He's up to something. Have you had one on your show yet? Uh-uh. I would love to get to me. meet him. I just don't know. I don't know if we'll ever meet. Yeah. I met it. We met him. Where we meet him at? Was that in New York? Yeah. I think it was in New York. MSG for a UFC fight. He was there. It was like, oh, fucking Mosk is right there. So I had to get over. That's crazy. Gila a hand trick. I think it was when all, yeah, it was when Mike and Oliver fought. How'd you get there?

No. And that's a good, that's a good question. So Mike and Oliver did their fight. And then I went to go like walked over to say what's up to Mike after the fight as I'm walking back instead of like going to the my row I went like to the front and I was like hey man just want to introduce myself I'm Taylor will say got was pretty disappointed with the firmness of his handshake but I that's kind of one of those things you expect dude he probably didn't upload enough megabytes into the shake does it not seem like he's always just like thinking about the world and ones and zeros like he'll just you think he'll be honest foe he was honest full like the entire time and then he would just like stare off in the distance for five minutes and it's like I'm not

Like, wow, that's crazy because his brain just works way different than all of ours. Yeah. He just always is on to the next thing. He's just doing a thousand things. Oh, it's that designer autism. All these guys have it, you know? It's like that fucking Fendi autism or whatever these guys have. Fendi autism.

It's that new shit, man. They're on it. Yeah, dude, you think a handshake impress this dude? You should have rolled up on him with something solid, a handshake, a Neanderthal fucking hello? Yeah. This dude's fucking doing angel dust off a Neptune and you're out of here. and like, when you teach you a move from the 1100s, dude. Sorry, I'm just joking.

Now it was miscalculated on my phone. You're absolutely right. Fucking send a fucking idiot. I'm just saying send a drone over to it. Yeah, like a note. That it can't be on a piece of paper. It's got to be like an iPad or something. I can do whatever you got to do.

Dude, send a drone. I think a note on a drone would have been very nice. Would you like to meet me? Yeah, check yes or no. I'm sending three things down. Yeah, George Strait. Yeah, George Strait. And then he just pins it back on.

He flies back and he's like, yes. You know he would for sure say yes. Of course. Like he'd be so curious about how did this drone get to me? And it just goes like one row behind me. They looks back. It's me. And a couple of droner homies, dude.

But once you give him the drone, do you shake his hand? Or you just walk up on him? I think a handshake scares somebody like him. You do not want to put your hands in the cage, bro. You steer clear. See, there's probably a sign on him that says when there's visiting hours, dude. you're talking to a fucking like an alternate being man yeah you know i think anyway i mean look at this right here yeah i'm like that's a lot going on oh dude this guy i think you can see us through that

picture right now that's how good his computer works yeah yeah um you said you wanted him on uh on your podcast who is one like if you could anybody could possibly have on your show who's like your great white buffalo oh the pope and maryland manson actually are two of my heroes right now that I would love to be able to talk to, specifically the Pope, because I think, like, more than ever, we need religion to, like, take a stand if it's going to or Christianity to take a stand if it's going to, because otherwise I think it's going to disappear. And that might be crazy take, but I think people are in fear of that. But yeah, the Pope, the Pope and then the non-Pope, dude, Marilyn Manson. Yeah, the Antichrist. Oh, he was my first concert ever went to.

Petapile took us over there. Yeah, he's got, like, he had the biggest rumor in the world before the internet. We even had the internet. would you ask the hard question. Yeah. Did he remove a rib? Yeah. I would say, have you ever been to T.J.

Ribs, that's what I would say. Yeah, okay. Is that a chain restaurant or not? I don't think so. Okay. I've never heard of it. I laughed for it. Let me think of another rib place.

T.J. Riz. Is there a famous rib place? Chili's. Chili's baby rib. Have you ever been to Chili's? Yeah. And ordered the.

And I'll just say that. Yeah. I want my. Oh, maybe I would do that. Yeah. What do you guys been up to, man? talking about me. I just got back from a family vacation in Canada.

It was amazing. Oh, I saw some pictures. We all in a canoe or something? Yeah, bro, a little sunrise canoe. Got the kid I was up at like five in the morning, bit of a grind getting down there. Roo didn't want to wake up or do anything. The kid didn't want to wake up? Yeah, she wanted to stay in bed.

She wanted to go to sleep. What? Yeah, yeah. And so they operate sometimes. Yeah, it's how they operate. Is that true? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There'll be full battery, then they'll turn off and then sometimes getting the battery going

again it's tough like when you're waking up in the morning so kids but you always hear the kids get up and they wake up the parent that's not always the thing yeah i mean i i have we haven't experienced that yet to where she's like you know she wakes up on our own she'll just stay in her crib she'll stay in her bed until we go up and get her but she has what's she's doing up there she's just chilling she's singing songs saying the abcc's oh that's good it's reiterating a book that she's memorized but she's in like that little half crib half bed deal but she'll just stay she'll stay in a room until we come up and get her Oh, yeah. That's a big win.

My kids do not do that. My kids, my kids wake up. Like, if they sleep in separate beds, my youngest will wake up. She'll come in my bed, like two in the morning. Oh, really? Every single time now. No way. Yeah, but when they sit together.

Do you have to let them in? I mean, the door's unlocked. Okay. Yeah, yeah. They know how to use handles and all that. Like, they're pretty advanced for five. So they do the thing. But, like, yeah, sometimes you like, I got up our kids at like 420 for our flight back

from Canada because I was in Canada from my June 30th to July 21st. And we hung out there the whole time. but flying back, we had to get by like four in the morning to case of West Jet fly back. And so my oldest wanted nothing to do with getting up, but my five-year-old got up like it was nothing. Kids is awesome, ma'am. They're great.

It's a war, though. Vacations, just traveling in general, kids, is the biggest thing. Yeah, it's like a military tour. When you get down with family vacation, you need a vacation from the vacation. Yeah, yes, absolutely. Are you ever, do you ever want to,

I mean, this is going to sound crazy, I guess, but just leave your family or whatever? Like, do you ever really have honest thoughts about that and be honest with me? There are times with the first one, Rue, when you're up there. She's a quarter, quarter, quarter Filipino. Okay, good. Wife's half Filipino. I'm full-blooded.

Yeah. There's times when you, you know, you have your first one and you're doing these night shifts and you're just up and they're not going to bed and you just think, man, I could just dip out right now. Yeah. And what would you do? You would set the baby where? I probably put her back to sleep try to get her back to sleep

at least set mom up for success when she wakes up and maybe just write a note and say do not write it in marker dude that's a shittiest dad that's leaving fucking wrote it in marker

it'll be fun for the kids like a teenager like they'll be more fun because it's colorful yeah oh that's a good point yeah it'd be more fun for them

leaving ma'am I think it crosses every man's mind at one point at some point maybe a big fight with the wife it's got across the moms too

but they just see you know they're there's such better parents. Yeah, but it's got a better parents. Are they? Yes. Why are they?

Because I feel like they have the- I would argue against that, bro. Yeah, I mean, say what you want about her. I think she's a great mother. I'm just saying, I know, like, you're saying they're better parents. I think I'm like a good, I think I'm going to sleep on my- But who's wife is better.

Here's what I'm saying. I think naturally women are better parents than men. Men make more of a conscious decision to be a better parent than women because when they get pregnant, they're spending nine months and they feel the baby the baby's growing inside them there's some sort of connection that's right yeah so when the baby comes out like they there's already a bond and for me it was like I have to learn to establish a bond like people talk about all the time how like when the baby comes out everything changes it's so crazy I thought to myself like this is I just don't

want to fuck this thing up like I want to make sure this child grows up and like as a productive member of society and as a good person and all those things but like six month mark yeah When that walked in, they started smiling and noticing me. That's when I'm like, all right, this is, this is fucking awesome. Like, it was all great before. I'm not trying to take it away away from that. But I feel like naturally the woman has more of a bond at the beginning and is more tied to the child. Whose wife you think is a better mother do you think if y'all had a guess?

What a division. I mean, obviously I'm biased. I think charro. Yeah. I would put tailing up against anybody. All right. And we're going to go to the fans in a moment. and we're going to take a commercial break right now.

That might have been time for a break, you think or no. We'll do an ad read right there. We'll do an ad read right at that moment. Are you struggling with boners?

because you think that might be dying. Organized religion might be dying. What makes you think that? I just think we need it more than ever, maybe. I don't know if it's that. I mean, we need morality. I don't know what we need. I just feel like we could use a spark.

I don't know how we get it. And maybe that's just me. And let me just say that. And maybe it's just my own relationship. with God. I don't know, you know. So I don't want to say, you know, like it's on people. I don't know. I'm just kind of surprised that there's so much going on sometimes in the world. And sometimes the Pope seems kind of quiet to me for such a big position. Yeah. They should be saying more, tweeting more, doing more stuff.

Well, I guess, I mean, where the world's at with, you know, I'm ignorant saying just social media, but everybody, it's like you can get your voice out there more, much more urgent. Is that kind of what you're. Yeah. I mean, I mean, even just the fact that like there's like a genocide going on and the, it's like you think the Pope would rattle off a few more tweets about it. You know what I'm saying? Like to find inspiration. But then what do I know? I don't know what it's like to be the Pope.

I don't know shit. You know what I'm saying? I'm a fucking honky. I know I am. BLM. You know what I'm saying? But I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I think maybe I'm also just like I haven't been eating. Dude, when you don't eat, you start looking for the Lord. So I don't know if we need. I don't know. know if we need to visit the Vatican or if I just need a sod of nachos. But anyway, do I sound crazy or I sound okay? No, you sound solid.

You sound good. It was interesting. It was a statement that I heard that I was like, I want to go back to that and figure out what your actual thoughts were. Yeah, I think that's it. You know, sometimes, I don't know. But then also, it's hard to pay attention to everything. I think sometimes that is kind of scared in the world.

But then I think people have always felt like that throughout history, you know. I think maybe we've been very comfortable in America and so we forget. get that like life is uncomfortable for a lot is more is uncomfortable for a lot of folks you know yeah yeah not to bring it down but anyway yeah seeing all the stuff in the world is kind of like it's it's it can be overwhelming if you look at it constantly yeah always see everything that's going on for me it's like my wife's always bringing things to my attention like you see this happen you see this happen in uh louisiana texas or all this and it's like for me my first natural reaction to most of these things,

it's probably the wrong reaction is like take a step back because I just get like, I get overwhelmed about that stuff and then I think to myself like what am I gonna do? Right. Like what a,

you know, you see that like, you know, the genocide you're talking about or like Texas, the floods is it randomly happen in Texas? It tells like, how crazy is this?

And I'm like, I almost get like nervous and like I just need to take a step back from that and like live more ignorantly which is definitely probably the wrong way to go. No, I think you're probably right,

man. I think, uh, I think, yeah, because it's like what can you do? And then sometimes you speak up and then it's like, well, what am I really doing? So yeah, I don't know.

I think it's just a place where, yeah, it's like a lot of confusion. And then we are in a place where you see a lot of stuff. And then that can like affect your, you know, your day to day and your moment. And sometimes watching it is like, you know, and were we ever supposed to see all that type of stuff? But anyway, you consume it so much. It's like this cycle that comes in your brain and where it like takes up. And you're thinking, well, I got to take care of myself with what's going on in my life. And then, yeah, I don't know.

Then we have, you have platforms and sometimes you're like, is it my responsibility? You kind of feel a sense of responsibility or expectation. Should I do this? I don't feel like I know enough about it. You put one thing out that everybody reacts to and you're just like, what the, then you're trying to get consumed by it more. It's just like this vicious cycle in your head. Yeah.

Where then it's like, I need to just step back from. I know. Yeah. I always lean towards like the whole, like if we're looking at everybody, every country is like their own house. Like America is its own house. It has a bunch of problems going on too. So when I see or hear about a bunch of things going to,

around the rest of the world. Personally, internally is like, well, I feel like we should take care of our house first and make sure our ducks are in a row before we start telling everybody else what to do and how to do it. But then I, that's when I start to get overwhelmed. I'm going to go to sleep. I'm going to fall asleep now. Now it's time to go to bed.

No, it's a good point, dude. Yeah. Because it's like, well, we should take care of our own. You should take care of people in your place first. And maybe my algorithm is just hot, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

But, yeah. So that just feel like, but yeah, anyway, let's talk about something else, man, because I don't want to bring down the vibes, dude. I got a fun question. Could be an absolutely dumb question. Yeah. But is the Diggers movie real? Or was that just a social piece of kind? Because I'm watching it and I'm like, this movie's going to be a bang.

Yes. Well. And then at the end of the scene, it doesn't say coming out when, I'm just like, I was kind of in a haze. Well, I'll be real honest with you. So what happened was we made this thing. We made it like probably a year and a half ago. And that's it right there to diggers. And yeah, it's funny for a little while.

But as I know of now, it's not, this movie will not get made. But, and I think I am thankful for it in the end. Because I was the one having to say digger a lot. And you say it a couple times, it's cool. But then you get a loose. You're comfortable saying it. Well, what happened to me was I was in, so you go and they're shooting a thing, right? And so, Drusky came up with it because he's trying to spark racism or whatever.

If I want to say it. And some people say he's mixed. I didn't say that. Yeah. But I'm just saying his 23 and me had a picture of Jason Williams on that thing. That's all I'm saying, bro. Okay. Now he was making a backwards behind the back pass.

So I think that, you know. Yeah, it elevates it. But, um, so anyway, they're like, okay, this is it. This is Mr. Digger. He passed away. And you're playing, uh, the, the, the, uh, what's a fucking male wife? What is it? A male wife.

Husband. You're playing the husband, right? Sorry, dude. I am. I have a, look at my hands shaking, dude. 40 are fast. Haven't eaten, dude. And some of that's racism trying to get out of it.

but some of it's not he said the male wife anyway uh so i have to be there's a room full of predominantly black folks and and uh and so i have to come in and i'm like drunk and i'm like taking the microphone from uh druski who's making a speech at his father-in-laws at his father's funeral so i have to come in and i'm like this digger right here was the greatest digger, right? Like saying shit like that, right? And you do it one time, it's kind of cool, right? But there's adult black folks in the room.

I'm a white guy, right? Semi white, right? Matt finished, right? You fucking, I had to do it like nine times, dude. I said the word digger in front of these people 42 times probably. Yeah. After six times,

do not you shouldn't do it you shouldn't do it anymore and Drewski's like nah you're gonna be fine baby get back in there he's like sorry I'm busy I'm talking to cars and send out on FaceTime get back in there and he kept sending me in to do it dude and they do not want to hear it at a certain point

and I just felt I started getting sick to my stomach so at one point was it a thought to be a movie or was the intention always for us to be like just a skit like a social clip. I think there was a thought, but nobody had to sign on and agreed to it, and then Shane got very busy with his series. We've talked about doing something together.

We've discussed it a few times over text. We just discussed it the other day about trying to make something that could be neat. I think it would be awesome, depending on if we could figure it out. But then, yeah, people's schedules and some people want different things out of their careers and stuff like that.

But yeah, I mean, even just getting to do that. And Shane, like, flew in especially for, which was really cool to him. Like, it was pretty cool, you know? I mean, it was definitely a fun day. But it was also scary for, I thought it was just verbally scary kind of. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, why do I got to be in this role?

I'm like the only guy saying this over and over. Yeah. You got to assume, like, the majority of people that saw this video were the same as Will and I were like, is this real? Because we want to see this movie. Yeah. after the video gets released, like, how many people were flooding you being like, we want to do this movie?

Oh, yeah, people were hitting us up. People who thought it was already done. People had thought it was already made, and it just wasn't made. You know, to be real honest with you guys. Yeah. You got to make a movie with David Spade, yeah? Yeah.

Fully funded by you two? Yeah, we funded ourselves. Yeah, it's called Bus Boys. We both were Bus Boys in Arizona at one point. We were younger, and so that's what it's about. And so it's interesting. We learned a lot.

We're editing it right now, which is like a big process learning that. We had, not to name drop, but yeah, but Ben Affleck came on the podcast one time and we're talking about movies because he had the accountant too was coming out.

And he said, he said, oh, he'd gotten back a first cut of a movie and he didn't leave his house for like six weeks because he hated it so much. made him so like just miserable at what they had created. Really? And then he said, yeah, he had to go back and just redo it and finesse things and stuff like that.

So, yeah, so it's a learning curve. We're figuring it out. We're doing a lot of editing. It's kind of tough because the editor is over Zoom and David lives in L.A. and just schedules and stuff. But it was certainly awesome. David's one of the funniest guys that exist. And Nate Diaz was there.

And I mean, it's bizarre, dude. But yeah, we just learned. We learned a lot, man. And it was super cool. But I don't want to talk about me anymore. Let's talk about something else. All right. What you want to talk about?

My shit. I don't know. We got the Ovan. We got the Ovan on the bus. It's been a long time coming. Am I talking too much? No, this is exactly what you want to podcast. Yeah.

When you have a guest on and they just like don't want to talk or don't say very many words, is it kind of tougher? Oh, yeah. You've been doing great. That's tough when they don't. You want to talk about the, uh, the joke I had pulled with the Caleb Presley death. You're still thinking about that, huh?

Every now and then it crosses my mind. Well, what happened? You're close with Caleb. Being close with Caleb, like we're kind of connected. Yeah, I just went on a camping trip with Glennie Balls this weekend. Oh, yeah. Did you really? I saw he was on your show.

And he said about food like the whole time. Oh, I mean, he just, he, you know, he's part of a cheese group or whatever. he is I mean you cannot he's just he's remarkable he's just like a human kitchenette

That's where it is. Yeah. Similar to Bond. I thought it was on Bond Lake. No, that's what I thought it was on. Okay. Let's find out. Let's do some jumping on that.

Do a recon. I'm sorry, guys. And I'm sorry, Sherman. But it was, yeah, and it was just great, man. You're up there and there's, like, different families come and their kids were there and these kids have been meeting up during the summers. And there's, like, cabins. And, like, and I got put in a cabin.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. 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.

It's like 1,400 square feet, maybe smaller than that, two bedroom. And it's me, my wife, both of our kids and her. And we just shack up for a whole month. And the mother.

And the mother. Oh, wow. What's her name? Her name is Tanna. Tana. Tana Whitfield. Miss Tana. Miss Tana is a rock star.

She's like maybe the greatest type of grandmother you can possibly ask for. Yeah, she's amazing. The kids. That's us and BAMP. That's where Will just was. That's us a couple of years ago. Wow. And Bamp is awesome.

That West Coast Canada, everything's a screensaver out there. You walk outside. It is very, very beautiful. Yeah. Canada is so great, dude. I would not mind marrying someone from Canada. There you go. You know,

but I think Canada's great. Just had a show in Winnipeg out to meet the, um, Taylor Park Boys, dude. Oh, how was that? Unbelievable. Someone's here? Someone's mom's looking for him.

I'm not even joking. That's Tanna. Some shit on the ground and left. Miss Tana. What's up? Bring them in. Dude, Trilat Park Boys.

Yeah, they were just so great, man. Just bubbles in the gang. A lot of great guys. They were blasted when I got there. Were they really? Yeah, they were trying to see if the fire would burn them. and it did well but that's a point when people aren't doing well

you know what I'm saying yeah yeah we know the answer so yeah but that was great dude and then Winnipeg just yeah it was really it was cool I never been I met Josh Morris Morris C he plays hockey have you heard of him he plays hockey I met him in a um little bathhouse somewhere up in Seattle and so he invited me to a game or whatever but I haven't been to a game but he but we got to go to Winnipeg and They're great. Yeah, dude.

Will run. What's going on? Oh, single Canadian women. Oh, these are the lipstick. Everlavin did not know. She's single. I thought she was married. Yeah, I feel like.

Sean Mendez is a man. But rumored to be gender fluid. Oh, okay. So that's good. There's an option. There's me and Cam somewhere. Where was that? Oh, SEC Championship.

that was fun dude sometimes you can't even believe all the fun places you got to go isn't that the craziest thing when you get to like kind of reflect on your life a little bit and realize like look how much dope shit you get to do

and go and be a part of and people be like yeah you can have front row tickets to this you can go to that the water cooler on the Tennessee head coach right and that's also yeah your fandom is so unique to me

because you're wearing a Vanderbilt shirt we talked about Diego who's an awesome cat yeah pouring a water cooler on Hypo on Hypo. He's also LSU, I assume, yeah. Yeah.

I'll support LSU, man. I mean, first of all, the SEC is great, bro. The SEC. It's a strong conference. It's a strong conference. It's one of the best conferences. I know you guys pittled in other conferences. Yeah.

But it is so phenomenal. And I'm just joking, guys. You guys, murder me right now, you know. No, no. It's a conversation we love to have. It's a great conversation. The last two natties.

That's a good point, huh? What the F? NIL. We can now pay players as well. You know where the SEC is going to get up on us, that documentary they got coming out. I know, I saw it. And it does look awesome.

Any given Saturday, is that what it's called? Yeah, it's like a... It looks unreal. What is that called? Like, what's the, like, production company? Like the untold stories where they did the Fortigators, 2008. They broke that down, but there's like an SEC documentary coming out. I don't think they did it.

Wait, this is the same production company that did like Johnny Mansell's and like... Oh, actually this is like a quarterback. Okay, yeah. This is like quarterback. Yeah, Omaha Productions. Okay, yeah, this is going to be good then. Dude, yeah. Because I got the Johnny Mansell and like the

Swamp Kings or whatever it was, they just kind of left out a lot of shit that's like publicly known. But this right here, this documentary that's going to be coming out. Yeah. It's fun, man. I mean, just the fact,

just like getting to be around the SEC has been crazy, you know? Yeah. Like, um, it's just so great. And yeah, I wonder why, yeah, the past two natties, they haven't been able to figure it out. That's because,

Everybody can pay players now. That's what, yeah, exactly. But what about- coming in there strong? Maybe they were the ones paying them before and they just like, like, oh shit, you know?

It makes you wonder what happened. Yeah, I know, I wish Iowa had done better. I'm still pissed at a bed two years ago or whatever. Who? Iowa, the Hawkeyes, whenever they had that good defense. Remember like two or three?

It might have been. They've always had a good defense. I think that's the year they lost to Michigan, the Big Ten Championship. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we went to that one, right? That was the cheating.

year, yeah. They should have put Caitlin Clark in, dude. That was a different year. No, no, no, no. That was they literally should have put Caitlin Clark in. You tell me she's not going to score at least eight points on fucking offensive football. She's not that's great points. She'd figure it out. She's a stud. There's no doubt about it. She is a boss. She is single-handedly bringing WMBA into making profit. I watch, I've watched probably almost all their games this year. No way. I watch 90% of their games. I feel like they're a fan base too. She's tuning in because they want to see Caitlin Clark. Yeah.

She's been out. She's been injured. I'm friends with her boyfriend, Connor McCaffrey. And their brother, Patrick McCaffrey. Not to Ed. Okay. But their dad was a coach at Iowa. He coached basketball over there.

But they're great, dude. They're hilarious. But yeah, she's great. I just got somehow in it. I don't know. I just can relate to WNBA more. They can't dunk. I can't.

Jumping up at layups, rebounds. Some of them are high. You're like, all right. Yeah. You're like, you know what I'm saying? It's a little bit more, you know, I just can't get attracted to these men on the NBA teams. Fair enough. Fair enough.

With your, we were in the vanity with the Tennessee, LSU. Like, do you pick a team every year, like, I'm going to go for this team or you just love the game. You just love watching the sport. No, I mean, I'm an LSU basketball fan at heart. That's my main, like the team that I really love. That's what I grew up watching. My dad was LSU basketball. All the greats through there over the years, Ronald Dupree, Chris Jackson,

Shaquille O'Neill Stroh Miles Swift Big Baby You know Or behind Barbie They call him now But you know I love LSU basketball

Dale Brown those guys So that's where But I Yeah and I like LSU football too I support them That's the home state You know But then

Living here I like I support Tennessee Because I live in this state now And then Vanderbilt's the Underdog They've been the underdog You know what I'm saying I think they're the

And I always love the underdog. So yeah, it's kind of all over the place, but that's where I'm at, you know? And the SEC's just been such a blast. Dude, we got to go to some, do some shows at some SEC campuses, right? So we're outside at Arkansas, right?

We're outside, and this guy comes up and he's driving the golf cart, and it's Sam, what's Pittman? No, what's the coach's name? Yeah, Sam Pittman. Coach Pittman, right? Yep.

He comes up. And he gets out, pull a picture of Big Sam, they call him. Or white Sam, I think they call him. And I say, I don't, they, I didn't, they don't call him that. Great guy, though. He comes up and he gets out. He's like, hey, man, I used to meet you. And they'd let us use their gym to work out that day just to get some, you know, wellness in or whatever.

And then he's like, you know, tell me about Bobby. And I'm thinking he's talking about Bobby. Kennedy Jr. Right. So for two minutes, I'm with my buddy, Amir K, the other comedian,

and he's, that's, we're touring together. And he's great. And so he's really great, actually, if you haven't gotten to see him, Amir K.

But we're, we'd start talking about Bobby Kennedy. We're doing impersonations of them, you know, like, we got to get the lettuce is dirty, you know, just shit like that,

you know, you know, like, there's Filipinos in Canada. Yeah. So we go through all this. For two and a half minutes, we're talking about Bobby Kennedy Jr.

And then he goes, Bobby. And he was talking about Bobby Lee, dude. Coach Pittman is a Bobby Lee fan. And he was talking about that clip of me and Bobby. I was trying to impersonate his father one time. Buddy that was so funny. Yeah, dude.

Bobby doesn't give you any rules when you're talking to him. So it's like he blames everything on everybody else. but the simple fact that if he listened to all that he didn't say one word we're too i mean we're talking all about robert kennedy his plans and everything and maha and then he's like bobby oh shit you're talking about bobby lee that was crazy dude we got to do bad friends podcast and that's probably my favorite podcast we've ever done yeah what was it like dude it was awesome let's be honest though i mean they're hilarious like they're a bit the entire

time they're constantly running essentially improv and they're just like feeding off each other and i I thought it was. Bobby, like they're both just so funny. So funny. Santino, he's just so witty. Bobby, he talks about whatever. You kind of don't know where you're at on the total pole. Bobby just the way he talks or kind of makes, you know.

Oh, yeah, he's like something that's just fucking biting your shoes. Yeah, yeah. But I knew Bobby from Matt TV growing up because I thought Matt TV was so funny. And so getting able to hang out with him, obviously knew Santino a little bit. Like I knew his comedy career, but just being around him, their energy is awesome. Yeah. They're hilarious. They're fun, man.

They're the best, dude. Yeah. And you see Santino kind of like kind of running the show from a sense like he's keeping direction on it. Yes. But then they'll both go down this like crazy path and you should try to keep up. Yeah. And I think that is so much fun. Oh yeah.

But for Bobby to say, pretend to be my father and you not to try to use an Asian accent. Like that's, you went the right direction. Yeah. You can't discredit his freaking father, dude. Yeah. Exactly. Who passed away also. Yeah.

Yeah. Allegedly or whatever. Yeah. Dude, he could easily just. slip off into a pack of Asians at Disney World and who would even fucking know, you know what I'm saying? And RIP, Mr. Lee. Yeah. We had a little note from Shirm here.

Did Happy Gilmore 2 approach you? Yeah. Yeah, I got all asked to do. Oh, yeah, because bad friends guys are written that podcast. Yeah. Their podcast is in it. Yeah. Yeah, they reached out about it, but we were just, it was just like a busy time.

And I just couldn't handle, like, saying like, yes. I think I was just like, like, it's been kind of a. tough you're just keeping like like you know trying to keep sobriety under wraps trying to stay on top of recovery like that kind of shit and then like getting like overwhelmed you know yeah i mean you got the podcast you're touring i can check you know i can uh you know i'm a dumb fish you know i can fucking you know swim a little bit well i can get a they put that shiner out there and i'll go after it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i'll bite the same thing every time yeah yeah toss them right back in there feel all there it is again i'm gonna get that and then you

you're in some guys boat or whatever. You know? Yeah. So Happy Gilmore, too, was like, we can't be doing this right now. It was like a lot. And it was with the podcast. I just didn't know what was going on. I just didn't even have a chance to really hear it out.

I kind of like, I think it's awesome. They came out. They got a ton of cameos. So I watched like 20 minutes of it. Yeah. So. What was your take on those 20 minutes? It seemed fine, man.

I mean, it's like a, I felt like it's really an homage to Happy Gilmore. Yeah. And to the whole universe. Yeah. like that they maybe they wanted to do it because it's just such a big part of lore in life you know that you want to kind of come out and almost like not take a bow but you know take a very entertaining bow so I want to watch the rest of it I think it's cool that they got a shooter back in it and like characters that you love and like um I want to see his kids more in it so I just started

watching it yeah I finished it this weekend I thought it was like we were we were talking about on the intro before you came on. Anybody who watches that show and tries to put it right next to the original Happy Gilmore is seeing it through the wrong lens. Right, like they're trying to do like an actual sequel.

That's not the expectation. That's not the expectation. It's like, celebrating. The expectation is like, yeah, like this has been however many years, it's almost been 30 years since this movies come out.

And it's like, let's have some fun. Happy Gila and bring back these old characters. You have a bunch of cameos. I love the storyline. I thought like the last 20 minutes of the movie was a little fast. They could have drug that out a little bit longer. to have a little more like context you'll see you'll see when you finish it but i enjoyed the

movie thoroughly i was bum the mom died out the gate though that that was a spoiler i was trying not to give away it's okay i'll still watch it enjoy it's happy to get more too so real quick real quick i think the reason why is we talked about this in the show is the movie came out in 96 Sandler got married in 03. And so I'm sure that the love interest thing was a little tough because all of his kids are also in the movie. That's his real kids? Those are his real kids.

Like the girl doing ballet, the ballet teachers, his mom. Not the boys. The boys are not. Yeah, yeah. And, so that's most of his kids,

the boys. No, no, he's got two girls. Oh, he does? Yeah, two girls.

But the boys that plays boys in the movie are not. I got to pay attention. I thought their characters were awesome, by the way. Yeah. Those four guys did a great job. Oh, nice. being little psychopaths. I got to pay attention, man.

I think I was vaping while I was watching it. Why don't you do a little nicotine? You do a little nicotine guy? I don't like that. I don't want... Have you tried it? I just don't like reaching in my mouth around a bunch of other men. Yeah?

That's fair. Yeah, same. For sure. It just feels like, what are we doing? Lucy. That's what you want right there. Want to put this in your mouth? Some guy says, it's like, I'm not, what are you guys doing?

It's three milligrams. I don't give a shit what it is. I'm going to the bathroom and put it in, but I'm not putting it in out here. Go to the bathroom and put it in. But yeah, so, yeah. So what else, dude? Yeah.

Did you go out playing sports? Yeah, dude. I saw that route at Tide in you. A little shaky. Well, the... You're probably nervous going out there in front of everybody, too. Yeah, first of all, one guy's arm was five and a half feet So that should be illegal, I feel like.

There's people with no arms. Yeah, why's he going to arm? And this greedy motherfucker's running around all armed out. Fucking army hammer. Look at this guy. Leg arms over here. This guy who wears shoes on his hands sometimes for fun. You got the right cleats.

Diego gave me those cleats, man. I did get off of him. And he didn't track, so that's on him. and the field was uneven. Yeah, that could be a problem. So, oh, that's why a lot of Vanderbilt players, you see them their left leg is a lot stronger. That on the uneven fields.

The practice field's uneven, dude. That was fun, dude. That was fun being out there with Diego out there. I'm a Pavia fan. So you guys should get him and do like a, like a football de America or whatever, you know? What do you think the expectations are for Vanderbilt? Because Diego's confident

Diego and Kate We kind of de-recrued him a little bit When he was on the show We're like hey listen You gotta bring it down It's like buddy you are You're a good player You're a great player

But bandy actually winning the SEC title Who we talked about We had the little thing in my house on Friday And Kate is cornering me in my pool Being like we're gonna win the national championship What did he? You had tickets to Vegas Who Kade McConnell?

Cade McConnell? Yes Is it McConnell? Yeah Yeah yeah yeah He's been an intern for us for two months. Oh, great.

Yeah, he's entertaining, dude. Neat guy. He's like, yeah, we're going to win the national championship. Like, you guys are not. He's like, you're hating. I was like, no, I'm aware. Well, it sounds crazy coming off the lips. What?

Yeah, yeah. Vanderbilt's going to be the national champion. Could you imagine the Vanderbilt hosting, hoisting the trophy? It would be crazy. They would probably use like a, they would design a hoist probably, first of all, because they're Vanderbilt, right? Dude, the craziest thing was, was when they beat Alabama last year, they're they're taking those goalposts right we left we left the stadium probably 40 minutes

after the game we went over to 1230 club to get something neat we're sitting upstairs and the windows are open so you could see all the people just going down and uh look at that guy fucking aura farm and get your shit up that kind of shit fucking that's cultural appropriation first of all um but oh yeah there he is I'm trying to get a Zen from one of his buddies I'm sure

Anyway they tried to Valet Park the fucking goalposts dude They were like at whatever that's called Smith and Walenskis or something They're like can we park these with the fucking valet guy

I was like what the fuck you want me to do with them dude so they threw them all the way down in the river that's crazy but the simple fact is just the utter like oh well valet park them that some fancy Vanderbilt kid thought that, you know.

Yeah, a lot of money at that school. Yeah, but what a great time for them. That night was amazing, dude. That was amazing. Yeah, I just love the underdog. If somebody, you know, if somebody's underdog, I can't help but really be locked in for them, I think. Yeah, man, it would be cool to see them win, I get. But can they, well, they, it depends on how good Virginia Tech is out of the gate to boost their confidence.

Bring up their schedule, if you don't mind. Love going through this. Love this. But when he'll lose Pobvi is the happy, he's like the most excited dude in the world. But if you guys did like a yeah, huh, busing with the with the. Hermanos. Boys. Hermannos.

Yeah, Armados. Yeah, bossing with these cerotes. Build our, yeah, build the Mexican demographic. Bussing con el, the gente. Yeah, they might have two L's out of the gate. Okay, hold on. That's a lot to say.

Can we zoom in a little bit because- Virginia Tech in South Carolina. Well, first of all, they're playing Charleston Southern out of the gate. Yeah. And it's at... Where? Yeah. Up there, August 30th.

Okay, yeah, okay. That's a win. We'll take that. They lost to them last year. Okay. So what are we talking about? No, you're thinking you're thinking it lost Georgia State. Sorry.

They lost to Georgia State. And I am sorry for confusing those teams, but everybody does. Yeah, Vandy. I'm a fan of Vandy, but we're just, we're one and O'clock. Virginia Tech, they beat him in overtime last year. Yeah. But it's at Virginia.

But it's at Virginia Tech. It's at Virginia Tech. Let's be optimistic. Okay, optimistic. They're two or no. They're in South Carolina. Come on. Yeah, I think that's an L.

That's an L. How good is that South Carolina quarterback going to be this year? The best in the country. Do you think so? Oh, yeah. I'm a gamecock fan. He's a home.

He's a shirt early. You had a Gamecox thing on. Yes. Or no, he did. You're also a Gamecox thing? You're also. I'm in Ohio State. Okay.

So what are you doing? What the fuck you am I talking about? I'm wearing this motherfucker. Hey, fuck them, dude. I got you, dog. Yeah, type shit, homie. But no, Utah State. Who knows?

Georgia State, then Utah State. And then Bama. But will they be better than last year? I don't know. I don't even know their roster. Pavi is talking about, I have new black toys. Really? Yeah, he said,

Oh my God. I got these new little black toys. You're supposed to say chocolatey heroes, yeah. So apparently they're going to be better. What? He can't say that. So we had to have been Georgia State,

who they lost you last year, and then beating Utah State, Alabama in Alabama, in Tuscaloosa. Then LSU, Missouri, Texas, It doesn't get easier. God, I felt better for I got over here. Right? It's tough.

And it's like, yes, I'm fired up for Vanderbilt to be a competitive, football team in the SEC. And we're rooting for the boys. We're rooting for them. Yeah. They got MK.

They got Eli. They got some great dogs on there though. They got one of the top tight ends, I think. There you go. So yeah. But we'll see what happens, man. It'll be exciting for them. What team do you think in the SEC that's going to lay an egg?

Who do you see a team that's going to surprise people or negatively surprise people, unsurprised people? Unsurprise them. Tennessee. Wow. Yeah, I could see that. Jack, that's not hate. That's not hate. Feels like it.

No. You've been in some of the same combos. Like if it's surprising people, we already lost Nico or he's choose to go somewhere else. Joey Aguilar coming in. No tape for really anything in SEC play. You guys had Amia Levin. Who's that guy? Nico I, I'm a LaVey.

He's a Ami Levin. But yeah, so I feel like the expectation is set already that like... And your quarterback... That was a bad joke. Your quarterback went to... Your quarterback went to Appalachian State, transferred to UCLA, and then Nico transferred UCLA. transfer to Tennessee.

No way. Did two quarterbacks swap? They basically just swapped. And do they play each other? No, we don't play. Oh, figure it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can't play each other. Why? You both have fucking trucks and buses and gas money. Yeah. Figure it the fuck out. They should play. Sherm, you brought up Auburn. Why do you think Auburn?

I think they're getting. Yeah, there's a microphone. A lot of people are saying the same thing that they're saying about Nebraska with Matt rule, that it's usually the third. year is when lightning strikes. For Hugh Freighting, striking in Lincoln, Nebraska. And I do believe in the Matt Rule hype, I do not believe as much with the Hugh Freeze hype.

You know who owns Hugh Freeze? I think surprising good year is South Carolina. And I think surprising, just the expectation, Jack, you might have minimal expectations. But I think Tennessee being good the last few years, I think it'll be like them taking a little bit of less time. What about Ole Miss? What's going to happen with him?

They lost Jackson Dart. Who's a quarterback coming in? I feel like that every year they have so much money in NRL. I heard somebody talking about this next quarterback like he's the one. Their freshman, or he was a freshman last year. We got in a couple of games because Jackson was hurt, but he's a stud. He played baseball too. He could throw like 92 miles an hour.

He's a lefty. He's an athlete. You know, I'm interested in to see. There he is Austin Simmons. What is Texas do? Because they have the last couple of years been pretty incredible. And now they're- I think Archman of Archman.

And people are not even talking about him. Yeah, they're talking about him winning the Hizman. Are they really? I mean, yeah. they're talking about i think i saw uh things might have been like troll someone trolling but it was like NFL teams are already like wanting him and it's like he hasn't even played significant because they're they're paying like the connections of who's the agent of the mannings who's the agent or works with uh was it the browns or the saints so people are putting together like if

they lose like archmanning going to you know one of these teams arch is the favorite to win the heisman according to fanduel archman saints might get him then I think he's going to be a stud. What about Nussmeyer? How does he do over there? I think he's going to be good. He's solid.

I think he'll be what he was last year. Mm-hmm. Interesting. It's interesting, man. You know who was really cool that I got to meet was the Texas A&M quarterback? Who's that? Marselle Riesse. Yeah, Marcel Reese.

Nice guy. He's going to be good, too. Have you been doing a game in Ada? I'm not. Is it great? Yeah, yeah. It's cultish. Very cultish.

Very cultish. Yeah, I would love to, yeah, this guy, some of him, his buddies, they came to a show one time. It was awesome, man. Just class act. And you know who is the coolest dude? The guy from Alabama took us around their campus, the quarterback. Ty.

Ty Simpson. Yes. I mean, dude, that guy, I wish the best. Their whole squad, they had like five guys. Another guy that just got drafted for them. But they all like, they spent like half the day with us. I mean. Really?

Oh, Tyler Booker? Oh, dude. He is such a good dude, man. Bro, just these, I mean, they literally spend half the day with us. Like, they probably should have been in school. Yeah. Right. I'm not going to say that.

But, uh, but they like just took us around and like, we're just like, it was awesome, dude. That was really cool. Tyler Booker is one of those cats. It's just like, one of the best people. Salt to the Earth. Like, he loves the game so much. Like, when he ends up, what's the quote where he talks about you see the life leave them to where.

they're not having fun anymore playing football. That's why he loves playing football. Oh my God. And dude, Zach Martin retires who's going to be a Hall of Famer and they just go pick up Tyler Bucker to replace him. What number was he? Was he 16 in the draft?

Yeah, I mean, he was. He was right around that area because that's where Zach Martin got picked in 2014. Do you? 12. Okay. Do you think Tennessee, how, will they be better this year? Tennessee volunteers or Titans? Tennessee Titans.

I think they could be better I did dude I know they had like a little scrimmage in Nissan Stadium and I saw some of the throws that Cam Ward made and it looked it was very impressive

his moving in and out of the pocket he crossed the body throws a deep one to Calvin Ridley and then there was one it might have been Calvin as well but it was like triple coverage and he put it in the only place

that his receiver could catch it there was a couple and it's like highlights right we're showing we're showing some stuff but yeah I'm impressed maybe girl I like it Yeah, I'm impressed with the Will Levis stuff happening. They ask Cam about it and Cam's like, I'm focused on Cam Ward.

Somebody said they took a muscle out of Will Levis and put it in a Cam Ward. That's what the surgery was about. Really? That's what I heard. I could see that. I could see that. There was like, there was something extra. Will Levis is a built individual.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He had extra. He had extra. And it was part of this part of some deal they made. But I think, I think, you know, we got a, have cautious. expectations on the Titans this year. You can't be like... I think they'll be better than they were last year.

They will be better than they were last year. They're in a tough division. I hope, uh... Are they just made that up? No, you can say that. Not necessarily. Yeah, they'll be fine. Like, you got the, you have the Texans.

Yeah. C.J. Stroud. CJ Stroud. Jacksonville, Jaguars, getting Travis Hunter. What else you guys? Travis is, like, I'm excited to watch him play. Yeah. I saw it.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news? Huge news. 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. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it.

Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down. Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. 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.

Podcast Network on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The first two days of camp, he was on the defensive side of the ball, and they're like, today he's going to the offensive side of the ball. And that's just badass. It's something you've never seen before. Dude, were you guys, I'm going to change the topic, is that all right? Yeah. Yeah.

When you guys left, Barstall, was that scary? And now was it feel different? Like, because I've been thinking a lot about like fear and like what's on the other side of fear right like and how things present themselves and they're scary and then like how things are often like different on the other side um was it scary or did you guys you guys are like this is we know this is the thing to do i think it was uncomfortable at first yeah like even going in and knowing that the deal was going to shake up and we're going to go independent and do a new thing before our contract was even up i know it's been a while

but we haven't got to talk about it yeah our contract was up in february And I want to say we started March 1st in this new contracts. It's really only been four months. Right. But we had it figured out that we were going to leave in like November. Yeah, November. Yeah. And at first, it's like, it's intimidating and scary because you got, you know, you're with

a, you're with an infrastructure and an audience of Barstow sports. It's just crazy. Like they're, they're, they're fan base, everything is massive. And so when you started to get on the other side of it or when it was coming up, you kind of feel weird around seeing everybody for the last time and then getting to the other side of it. I want to say like that first month, there were some, you're, you're just nervous about being uncomfortable and doing something new. Because you know, like, when you're going independent, it's kind of all on you. Yeah. You don't have like all the help, you know, and personalities,

the playoff of. We knew when we were leaving, like, we probably wouldn't be on a whole lot of things that involved them. So it's kind of like you're, you're kind of pushing your own boat at that point. Yeah. I mean, Bealbbing, they were always so great to us. Oh, yeah. That's so much fun. It was definitely safer staying. But like at the end of the end of the, like, eventually you have to like take a leap of faith. I think the phrase you use is like jump when you can afford to drown. Yeah, jump where you can afford to drown. It felt like at that point it was like, this is the opportunity for us to like see if we're really if we're really able to stand up on our own and do these things we got with great partners that have like have access that gave us the ability to do stuff, more stuff with the NFL because like bar stool and NFL have a whole thing.

We obviously are a big NFL podcast. So it was like, oh, these are like these new avenues we can kind of go down. But you never know like how it's going to work. Right now it's going well. Like the first, like Will was just saying the first month, it's like, oh, fuck. Like this is a little scary. And then now as you're getting into the fall, like we're starting to get our fall together, figure out the schedule. It seems like it's going to be like a massive year.

And you just hope it's going to be what it is. But yeah, leaving them was tough. I think the hardest thing was calling Dave. Like Will and I sat. Oh, buddy. Yeah, that was. Who called? Who actually?

Who responded you use? We used Will his phone. We were on speaker. It says a lot. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So dude, we sat there when we made the decision because we went back and forth a bunch.

Yeah, that's scary, dude. Eventually it was like, okay, we have to call Dave. And you see. What time of day was when you called? Sorry, I just have. It's probably like 1 p.m. Okay. We'll say it's early.

Had you guys eaten or not? I can't remember. Maybe not. Either just ate or still was. Maybe not. This guy was a fucking gangster, dude. And they're quitting work on an empty stomach. Yeah.

Fucking. Crazy. Bush League. Dude. Only quit. work on a full stomach day. Right. Because the two,

if you out of work and empty stomach is a horrible place to be. Yes. So dude, wow, this motherfucking Christopher Columbus

dude over here. Wow. We sat there with like a whiteboard full of pros and cons. And it's like, all right, this is the decision we're going to make. We've talked about it.

And we go to call Dave and Will goes to press his, it's all super dramatic. So we have like the phone down. and we'll go's to press Dave Portnoy and we misses, he misses like the button to press to actually call Dave

so we took a five. Yeah. So shit, we need a, yeah, let's go take a lot. You see all the things. You see Dave in the breakups

and the champagne bottles and you're like, you just, he's been so good to us. And we have such a great relationship with him and it's like, you don't want to fuck things up. Yeah.

Because like, what if this is not the move? You have all these doubts going on. We called him and I don't know. I think it went 10 times better than we thought it would. Yeah, he was nothing but supportive. Nothing but supportive.

Because the number, Like the number got too, the number got too high because I think at first we're thinking we're probably not going to leave. Maybe we can leverage and get barcel to where we want them to be. Right. And then it got to be where it was like, this feels like a no-brainer, even though it feels super uncomfortable. And then, yeah, when it went down, like Dave was awesome about it. Right. And, yeah, it was wild.

Wow. Yeah, it was wild. Yeah, because I think there's a lot of people out there. Sorry, you're going to say something? I was just going to say the last time we saw Dave, he stood us up at dinner for two hours. Okay. That was, that was deserved, though. That was, well.

On my part. On my part. Would you do? I've missed like, you know, I've been late. We were at Nebraska. We were late getting the dinner. Yeah, but it was also the Mahomes thing. I left early from the, I left early from the Super Bowl dinner, which I didn't know that

that was a problem like me and Caleb. Yeah. Oh, I know, but you know, Dave. He keeps it tight. Yeah, he keeps receipts tight. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dave was nothing but good. You were saying something about for other people, other podcasts?

Oh, yeah. I'm just thinking like in general, like the fear of talking to a boss or the fear of saying something, right? I was just like in this meeting this morning and somebody was talking. talking about like the fear of like telling a girlfriend something or tell you know and then you like carry around this fear for so long like when I think in my life of like how many fears I've been like things of and then I'm just carrying around like it could be sometimes be a liar it could be something I want to do but I'm afraid to and for years I will have this every day you should do it you're not going to this is why and blah blah you have to stay but instead of talking with the person or whatever it is and it's kind of different than what y'all are talking about I don't really know why I'm talking about it but um but instead of doing it doing that, I'll just, it's almost like when you see people keeping a balloon in the air, you ever see that game or whatever? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Where it's like two kids love that game. And it's usually, I don't want to call them out, but it's poor kids, right? You throw a balloon in nausea, let's go. Yeah, first of all, yeah, if, yeah, it's poor kids and they're like diving over fucking full ass trays and fucking that type of shit, you know, not like some of them have burned on their legs or whatever. Yeah, it is what it is. But, um, yeah, and they're just trying to keep that balloon in the air.

Like that's how I feel sometimes when I think back on like Like just bullshit I've carried Instead of having a conversation Right, compos you should have had soon. Yeah, it's totally different than we I was talking about I don't even try to relate those two things. But yeah, but I think some people are probably afraid to talk about stuff And then they do and it's just like fuck

I kept myself in this cage for so this fucking playing just pickleball Just with myself and just just bullshit or whatever. It's crazy. Anyway, I get on you to tell you. And then you need to tell the truth to someone. But it's like most, yeah, most of the times you have those fears about having conversations with people, you're suffering and then you finally have the conversation. I know.

And it's way better than you thought it would go. And you're like, why was I? Because the other person was probably feeling kind of the same. And you're just, you're just apart from each other. And you're just assuming shit. And it kind of just builds up. Assumptions of what kills everybody from an anxiety standpoint. Dude, my daughter.

That thing we did of my daughter the other day. She called one of the kids. My daughter. Yes, dude. my I don't like talking about my kids too much of the show so like my my daughter was uh telling kids at school like Harry Potter magic is real and it's like isn't real is not oh no is sorry is real saying is real and I think the old is asking isn't real it's not real it's a movie well well you don't that's true that's true like I am a muggle like I've never been blessed with a wand it's worked for me

yeah but she's telling kids at school like I'm having a hard time well she's she's saying Harry Potter magic is real and then we're in Canada and she's like not sleeping like she's having like a trouble going to sleep and stuff like that and I'm like what's going on and she finally relayed she's like I told these kids that Harry Potter magic is real I know it's not real

and I need to have a conversation with them to tell them that because it was basically eating her on the inside it was eating her up and like three nights ago like the day after they came into work with me they came into work with me like last week sometime and we did a little podcast and she was like very vocal about like this is something that she's going through in her life right now.

And that night we go to bed and it's like 9.45 and she's like I can't sleep. I'm like, I might get the point like, dude, what do you need from me? Like what's keeping you up? She's like, I think it's the Harry Potter thing. So I gave her the whole quote like those who suffer before it's necessary, suffer more than necessary. Like Marcus Aurelius. Yeah. So right now all you can control.

Who do you play for? Who was that? He was Rome. He played for Rome. Oh, ancient Rome. Yeah. My bad. I'm thinking of.

Yeah. Who am I thinking of? Marcus, uh, Lattimore, Marcus, is that somebody? Yeah,

I'm being Marcus Spears. Bring out Marcus Spears. He could have said that. He could have definitely said that. What a beard too. Anyway, going, yeah.

So we had this conversation like, all right, let's, like, let's have action items. Like, what do we need to do? We need to get these kids' phone numbers.

Okay, let's get the phone numbers. We'll give them a call. Like, what if they don't want to be my friend anymore? I was like, if somebody doesn't want to be your friend because you lied to them,

but then told them the truth, they're probably not going to be, It's not going to be a great friendship anywhere. So she goes to sleep. The next day, my wife gets on the phone, gets one of the kids. She calls the kid, dude. She calls the kid and she, like, walks away. We practiced.

We practiced on this bus. We practiced before that, too, her conversation. And I walked over and watched my kid, like, look at the window, pacing, like, seeing true anxiety as she's, like, calling the kid and has the full conversation. And I have, like, tears in my eyes, like, watching, like, my kid is essentially taking the next step towards a job. dollhood. Pretty cool.

Hailing her proms. And I'm like, she finishes the call, like, how do you feel? She's like, I feel so much better. And like,

it all is like, I told her the quote like four times since then. Because I wanted to be like in her brain. But like that night, eight o'clock, she was like asleep by 8.30. Wow. And she just like slept great.

woke up. Like it was, it was awesome. So yeah, fear, dude. What's the quote again? Those who suffer before it's necessary, suffer more than necessary.

Oh. Right? God. Yeah. I could have years back. It's a bar. I mean, I've made a lot of amends, but yeah, sometimes things just still eat you up a little bit, you know? Do actions of your past that you've already, like, admitted to, eat you up still?

I think sometimes not being a good boyfriend, probably at certain points in my life eats me up sometimes. Even though I've made amends and like, I wasn't bad. I mean, I just like, I don't know. I didn't know what was going on. I think I was trying my best, but probably being afraid sometimes to speak up or have certain conversations, you know. Or being transparent. Yeah. But sometimes I couldn't tell what was real and what was like an instinct and what was like a, I just had a really bad gauge of like what was me believing something.

Wait, let me think about it. Like are you making something up or is it actually real? Yes. It was so hard for me to figure out like what's fantasy and what's real. Yeah. So is this me just wanting this to be real or is this real? It was just like some confusion. But, you guys, I think like, that's a man.

I mean, that's me and a man right there. He said some old girlfriend conversation. That's my buddy Ryan Thomas, dude, RIP, dude. He passed away, dude. He was a baller. Great dude, great dancer. Great dude. Creative.

He went to Chico State, I believe. I think he passed away up there. And my buddy, Billy Conforto, passed away RIP to him, man. RIP. RIP, Billy. One of the toughest gay men ever. We interrupt this episode to bring you Lucy. Let's level up your nicotine routine.

Did you ever have, like, did you have fears? Because you were with, like, were you in a podcast network? Like, and when it was like you, you, Brandon, like King of the Sting, you were involved in a lot of podcasts out there in that L.A. scene for a while. That's okay. That's okay. Thank you, though. It's all good.

You've been in that scene out in LA with all the podcasts that you guys would go back and forth. I don't know who was in the brain. I know you were with Shaw v. King of the Seag. Oh, yeah. That was the best. I remember messaging you that one time when you went, took to your platform to call out, was it Podcast One, Cast Media? Colin Thompson? Yeah, Colin Thompson.

That was the guy that I believe robbed us and others. And that's when you were in a network, right? Before you kind of go solo, dolo. Uh-huh. And what's he doing now? I wonder, let's look that up. I just want to make sure because my team and my employees, we've never. never received any recoupment from this gentleman.

But yeah, Colin Thompson is his name, and it's okay to put his picture up there. I think creative executive entrepreneur storyteller. That part's true. I mean, I definitely... Scroll down, Sherman. What is his... Cast Media?

Yeah, it seems like he's still with cast media. I thought that they'd fallen apart. But no, those days were fun, man. I mean, the fun is the beginning of, like, podcasting. I remember Dustin Poirier was like one of the first, like, guests that we had come on that was kind of like a celebrity guest and um tate fletcher um he came on yeah that's him right there yeah tape fletcher edy bravo just like getting to like be around some of those guys and like it was so much fun and we shared a wall with like uh king and the sting and so we would

like bang on each other's walls and shit and like talk shit like you know when you're in a group it's just like so much fun i mean that's why even walking in here and seeing you guys's group and y'all studio and like you guys have employees and interns and it's like I was like wow this is a real thing you guys have going on and it's awesome man you guys are so inspiring I think you guys have probably inspired a lot of other um podcasters a lot of other athletes that want to figure out something to do after their careers you know or figure out how to like implement something or be brave enough to even try something you know because yeah I mean you guys were kind of one of the early groups to it I know they have like some other pod I see like raw room

Have you seen that one? Yeah, yeah, it's our boy, Darren Bates. Yeah, Darren's great, man. I remember meeting Darren over at the gym and, like, I'll see clips of his come up sometimes. And that really makes me, like, just excited to see these guys, like, you know, just making things for themselves, I think, you know. Right. Because I bet it's got to be interesting after sports. And after anything people do when things change, you know.

Right, when your identity's wrapped up into something for so long, talking to just athletics in general. And then it does end. It kind of ends before you expect it. I'm thinking like what am I what am I good at what can we do yeah like my buddy's dad was gay or whatever right yeah or whatever you know but definitely he was gay yeah and then he left the mom and then he came back he said he's not even gay anymore well he said to figure it out yeah but what so what do we do it was like six years he was you know just be or I don't want to say being gay but he was like curious him pretty gay yeah yeah and I

It's like, well, now what is he just, and it's fine, you know what I'm saying? Whatever, Red Rover, Red Rover, you know? But it's definitely got to be kind of crazy or whatever. The Red Rover is a crazy comment. You think, I don't, these days, who even knows, dude? You don't know it, you know, you got to make love to a woman twice for you even know if she has a cock on her these days. It's definitely turned into a crazy time. That is so funny, dude.

No, it's, that's cool to hear you said that too because, again, you being in like these. the, like the middle 2010s when all the podcasting was kind of happening, and you and all the comedians out there in L.A., I feel like it was a big inspiration for us, too. Like, we fought, I followed a lot of that stuff. When you guys would all get together, cross-collabor with you, Cal and Shab, you had Dahlia, you had all these comedians. Oh, so much fun. Dude, and some of the best moments and clips were just, yeah, it was awesome.

Yeah. It was cool. I consumed all of it, too. Yeah, I did. I remember when, honestly, funny enough, Nick, how. my boy back home, he put me on you. And then like one of my first clips, like, watching from you,

maybe not first clip, but like after following you for a little bit, seeing that clip, oh, Daniel on the, the hose out back. Oh yeah, that hot hose hit. Yeah,

that hot hose hitter. He would take that first hit off that bitch whenever they, whenever spring started up and they finally cut the hoses back on. Yeah. He would not even let it flow first. He would fucking put his mouth right on that bitch.

Yeah. Take that first hit. God. I mean that's fucking crazy dude That is just a beer bong from Satan right there dude They don't even make that type of shit bro That shit's just 2,000 proof dude Two thousand proof dude

Shit had spiders in it You know what I'm saying That first fucking coming out of the earth Traveling through that entire hose Probably 17 feet of fucking spiders and dirt Burns you for a second for it cools down You would see his neck turned red when it was going in him He was going in him.

He had enough neck where you could just barely see it. But God, I remember that, dude. But yeah, dude, I remember like in the beginning we would talk. My boy, Billy Conforto Dodge, shout out, dude. He was like the first gay prize fighter or whatever out of Louisiana. And he would just beat the fucking straight out of you. You know? RIP Billy Mince, man.

He was a legend, dude. We were bus boys together. And in hindsight, yeah, he was something, you know, he was, you know, he was, you know, he was like 15 years older than me. And it was, and I was a child or whatever, but whatever. You know, I was saying, shoot or shoot. And, but yeah, he was kind of like, he became like our, like, he would like, so weed all our friends, but he also became like our protector, like in high school, like his dude, we would go somewhere. And he would get us all in the club.

We'd all be fucked up kids in there. And then if people tried to fuck with you fucking knock him out, dude. He was like Don Flamenco. Remember that guy from Mike Tyson's punchout? Bring him John Flamenco there. Yeah, I need to see that. Let's get a shot at him. Having him as a protective, would you like going to the bar

and kind of start some shit on your own, just see your boy knock him out? Where he was right there. He was Don fucking Flamenco. And he tried a lot of early hair plug action and shit. So his shit was crazy, dude. He fucking sew his own eyebrows onto his scalp. That dude didn't give a fuck. He was like that.

And he was a vibe. He trained these violent dogs, dude, like these crazy, like, I don't say violent, but they, you know, the ones that, like, kill a child every year or whatever, like, pit bulls. So, and I love how people are like, they're the friendliest. That's fine, the friendliest, but they kill a child every year. Yeah. You know what I'm saying, dude. You know, so it's like, you have to just agree on both things.

But yeah, dude, just being around him. Just characters like that from my area, dude. Billy was fucking hilarious, bro. this dude was unreal. And he would always think everybody was gay, bro. I would take him all like he and my brother were roommates

for a while and shit because they were both that thing, like, I don't know what they were doing. Nothing gay, but I think they were, they both smoked weed and shit.

But anyway, Billy would be like, bra, he would come in the room and my brother would leave you, like, bra, I think your brother's gay, bro.

And like, my fucking brother who has three girlfriends right now and can barely take care of one of them. But he would always do that, dude.

He was the best. But we were fucking bus boys together. Dude, it was hilarious, bro. So I don't know why I told you all that. But, oh, I met up with his brother. I got to see his brother and his nephew came to the fights with me over at the Porre fight. So we all went over there.

Just like, it was a big Louisiana celebration. Yeah. So you basically, do you... And I don't talk about him enough. That's why. He's a friend. You enjoy going to the earliest part of the fight where you're kind of sitting there solo, dolo in the stands?

Is that something you kind of tripped into, didn't realize the time? I saw you a quote tweeted somebody the other day saying like, I think it was like exactly when somebody was like Theo now has the expectation to be there, be the first person there. You kind of like, I got to go to now. But I also love it.

Because here's the thing. You can watch a couple of fucking Muppets in your apartment complex fucking, you know, slap each other over some detergent of shit. Or you could go out here early and see two guys who have been chasing their dreams fucking live out their action.

It's crazy to me that people don't go really. I've seen some of the best fights ever early, man. The fight two cards ago, the first fight, that was one of the best fights that I'd ever seen. Man, I think it was two heavyweights too. Carly Judeease is a young lady. I love that. It is weird.

It feels a little like, even some of the fighters like, what is this guy doing? Yeah. He's enjoying how many people? How many people are in the arena? Oh, the arena is not that many the the the the the the the the the rose they are like in the you know kind of in those rows where

dana and uh nicole give seats um there's nobody there this photo this photo reminds me of jango when leonardo caprio's first introduced to the movie it's just him and like two of the guys sitting in a room while two guys fight well just you by yourself watching two guys chase their dreams i don't think even say jango with this picture that's fair hold on my hands starting to shake again it's an observation it's an observation but one white guy watching two black guys fight to get to be i mean it's just like yeah i just love it you know like i wasn't good at like fight when i was a kid i wasn't brave enough to defend you know just like i didn't have any coach in that type of shit so to get to see these guys out there and you have to think they want to just like they just

want to fight right they want to express themselves i think right i feel like they just want to express themselves but the only way it can do is against somebody else right so it's not like they want to kill everybody in the place they just want to show that that they're a great fighter and the only way it can do that is against somebody else i used to have this perspective of it like it's so violent it is but they it's how they express their ability right it's not as much against the other person as much of it is someone else has to be there does it make any sense or no it does they're trying to show off their skill what they've learned so they can be a champion the person in front of them it's not about beating them. It's about being their best selves. Right.

Which I think it just, like, I don't know. I just love it, man. It's like literally my Christmas, dude, when I get to go there. And the people that were, I mean, Dana just does such a great job by hiring folks. They're so good to everybody. Everyone, dude. And it's not just you. It's like the group that's with you. Like, when we got the boys, they just treat

everybody so well. Right. Right. What do you stay when you are out there to Vegas? I'll stay over at the wind. Yeah. You know, buddy Jasmine works over there, so I'll stay over there. You got to come check out Red Rock. sometime, man. The hospitality is second of none. Everyone treats you like an absolute king there.

I don't want to, I have addiction issues. I do not want to gamble. I don't want to embarrassingly gamble. Like, people are gambling racks and shit. And I'm putting like $40 up there or whatever. For $18. I understand the addictive personality standpoint. I definitely have that. Have you lost a lot of money gambling?

No, I've won a lot of money gambling. Really? Yeah. Which is crazy. It could end at any moment. But as of right now, yeah. Has your wife ever sat you down and said what's going on? My wife has sat me down and been like,

when are you going back to Vegas? Oh. I like you to go back to Vegas. My wife is, she's all about it. She's all about it, man. But yeah, addicted personality stuff.

I'm right around there with you, for sure. But I do want the next time there's a Vegas fight, we might have to go at the same time as you. And it's going to be us, all of us just sitting there hanging out. Yeah. Like we,

so bad. Oh, yeah. That's a great point. And it's just, And you're like the only person here. You feel like it's like just for you. Like it was like a like a chucky cheese went crazy. And you got like it's just you and like a couple of the band members that are pissed at each other.

You know? Because you're just sitting in there by yourself. Oh, yeah. Yeah. What you got going here? Oh, I just get in it. When Dustin's in there, dude, I can't even help it. How'd you feel about the last fight with him and Max?

I thought it was great. I thought there was too much on his plate for the week. I thought having like a weekend, this is my retirement weekend. There's so much extra, like there's so much extra video and promo and like goodbyes and like a lot of emotions going on, you know, like. And I just thought that's a lot to stack onto somebody who's also cutting weight who also is retiring. So I thought that was a lot. It felt like I love watching Dustin a fight. It didn't feel like he ever got entirely into his flow.

Yeah. To me sometimes, I don't know anything. The guy could fucking easily put me into a. serious coma easily. But I just felt like there was just a lot going on. You know, it's like, and I, in some ways Max is still going. Max is still

fighting. Yeah. So Max, you know, there's more for him getting the victory. You know, because he can use it to continue to propel himself forward, right? Yeah. Whereas Dustin's like, he is, you know, he's retired. So it's like, it's almost like, Dustin's a gracious dude. Not that he

gave the fight. He didn't at all. And Max is a fucking warrior. I just felt lucky that we all got to do it in Louisiana, but there's a sacrifice that comes with that of doing it and having it there and so much attention on you that I feel like draws a lot of extra energy out of you. And I didn't mean any offense to Max and that at all.

And I just thought it was so funny. Can you play that clip at the end where he's like, we didn't even get he's like, we didn't even get fired at a night, man. Oh yeah. We're like, we did it. They're both just like talking through fucking, you know, they're breathing through their ears. They're so banged up. Eyes are so swollen.

Yeah. It is crazy. Max, it did seem like Max was controlling that fight, 95%. But even mentality-wise, like knowing you're going to retire. And I think Dustin was even saying it on a show after the fact. It's like when they're standing there the last 10 seconds and standing and banging, it's just like, you're also thinking about I can't, I don't want to take too much damage because I'm about to be done.

Whereas Max hallway, like you're saying, this is, this win, he's still got a killer instinct. And you kind of, when you know you're retiring, this is going to be your last one, you'll just have that in the back of your mind. Like, I'm going to try and protect myself a little bit. 100%. Yeah. I love the way Max handled it after the fight too. When DC walked up and he's like, what do you think?

He's like, champ, UFC handle however you want. This night's about dust. And he like dipped. Yeah. I thought that was awesome. Yeah. And I think it's just great to see like these are two of the most beloved guys, you know. Yeah, can we play with some audio?

That was the most people at a prelim that I'd ever seen was in New Orleans that I, for myself. I haven't been to that much, but that I'd ever seen. And then everybody stayed at the end. I didn't see one person. Every seat was full at the end for like the video and when he walked out and stuff like that.

The video was awesome. It was. That's probably cool to see him being your boy and just seeing him just, I don't know, everybody appreciate him and go out like that in the video that they made when he's tearing up. Yeah, it's special man. He's a special guy and he's so fun. I mean, I just, I think a lot of these, you know, it's like, I think we're living a lucky time where you get to see past some of these guys just their ability to fight.
