I'm also having an anchoring for an ad read to come up on the screen so I can read it. That's what I really want. Are you talking about the Chevy Silverado? I'm talking about the most durable vehicle on the market, dude. Are we? Is it here? Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:02:44 Can you zoom in a little bit? My eyes, I think I've gotten worse than last month. Dude, it is football season. It is, dude. It is football season. There's a new family with unstoppable grit, and there are the official partners of bustling with the boys family,

Starting point is 00:03:59 You can't curse. Sorry, sorry. And I met... We're outside of the adored now. According to Steve, also that messes up your algorithm if you do it too early in the podcast. Fair. Well...
Starting point is 00:04:09 We're back. We're back. Yeah, the boys are back. The boys are back here. And the ZR2 specifically. Dude, you guys missed me or what? Let's talk about it. Of course we missed you, man.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Can you guys go around? By the last couple weeks, we're over here underwater trying to fucking breathe or trying to breathe, not effing breathe. Can't eff and breathe. Get back to the surface and, you know, we know you're out battling the wildfires of Canada. You guys said you're going to get into that, I'm sure. I was doing the same thing. I was fighting the good fight.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Yeah, you're out there fighting the good fight and, you know, good old Canada. Were you guys worried when Barstow was doing layoffs? Worried. Was I? Yeah, a little bit, actually. You didn't know what was going to happen. Get a call from Dave. Hey, Will's going to go ahead and take it from here.
Starting point is 00:04:51 You're just like, oh, no. Dude, last week was the Red Wedding. I mean, it was, oh, yeah, you're not a Game of Thrones. No, but I understood the reference. I understood the reference. Last week was like the Red Wedding. I mean, they laid off 25% of the squad up there. A lot of good soldiers.
Starting point is 00:05:05 A hundred plus employees. Yeah, a lot of good soldiers, man. It's one of those things, though, just business. Dave walked in there. He's bought the company back, realized how much overhead there was. I'm sure he's, they're in a pivotal point. Of the organizations, in a pivotal point right now. I can go one of two ways.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Yeah. And it seems like if there's any man to do it, it's going to be Dave Portnoy. Yeah. Lean and mean, get that machine back. No question. He's a little thicker right now, though. You can tell that the pizzas have been getting to him a little bit. Did you see his piece of review last week?
Starting point is 00:05:31 Yeah, with a buddy with a shirt that was way too small. Star Wars shirt? Dom of the year? It was he not. Dom of the year. Dude, was he not the best? He's taken. poking his little head in there.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Dom of the year. Back out. That was an incredible one. And it was great to see Dave just get mad at somebody. And then watch... Let me be clear. Fuck you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:48 And then watch the war on the internet of the guy... Because I went to the... I went to buddies... What's the name of the pizza company? Dragon Pizza. First off, in that review, how incredible is it, that Dave gave off the bad review
Starting point is 00:06:00 before the, like, conflict happened. Right. Made it so much better for him to really stand ten toes down, that whole thing. Then Dragon Pizza puts a... a shittily drawn six-year-old photo,
Starting point is 00:06:11 and Dave posted is like, hey, the guy made this amazing, should we sell this? And you can just tell bars was like kind of low-key doing barstool things again. Oh, yeah, that's a, that is barstool full, yeah, through and through. That is the Dragon Slayer t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:06:26 It's almost like they're paying them. Like, they paid that guy to do that. Like, that was so barstool that, like, it couldn't have come at a perfect, more perfect time, too. You could see how upset the guy was, too, like how Maddie was. And now that it's all, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:38 kind of coming in. into fruition like unfolding. It's kind of like he did exactly, he went exactly into the trap of Barstall Sports. You could tell it the guy, the owner, like if you think of what's going on through his head, probably Dave walked in and the other goes, hey, is that the, who is that guy? And they're like, oh, that's Dave Portnoy from Barstall Sports. He Googled Dave Portnoy. And the first thing that probably comes up is one of those hit pieces that. The business insider. Yeah, the business insider wrote on him. He reads it, he's like, oh, I don't fucking like this guy. And he goes in and goes, hey, I don't like what you do for small
Starting point is 00:07:06 businesses. No, like, no receipts, no knowledge of what Dave has done for small businesses and just kind of says, like, lofts one up. Like, I don't like you because this. And just a blanket statement. And Dave, obviously, as usual, comes correct. Yeah. Then he comes back. He doesn't get enough of it. And things had to go down the way it was. His receipts were everything, everything, everything. And it's like, come on. Like, you got the door. Use it. Like, go back inside. Hey, what are you got from me? And then get his employees to get a couple things. And then rip back out there. RIPD of that guy's business, though. He's fucking done. Yeah, his pizza will no longer exist. Unless it's close to like news insiders headquarters or whatever,
Starting point is 00:07:44 business insiders headquarters. Yeah. And hopefully they can have pizza parties there every day because that's the only thing that's going to keep him afloat. And then Dom of the year comes out of nowhere. He's been popping off on social media. I started following him too. It's, I love what he's doing. I love how he's taking advantage of the moment. I love how he's taking advantage of the moment. And one thing, one more shout out to dad. Dave on this whole thing is his ability to get in that argument with Buddy and shit on him back and forth.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Obviously fuming. You can see like the teapot is boiling. It's making that whistling noise in his mind. And yet people are coming up trying to take a photo with him. And he's like, you know, you were a piece of shit. Absolutely. Yeah, anything you need. Hey, let me take you another thing.
Starting point is 00:08:25 And she's like, oh, my king. With him in the background argument. Yeah. Fucking fantastic, dude. Fantastic. Look at all those one-star reviews now. Hope reviews. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:08:37 It's over. It's over, brother. Dragon Pizza. The guy just doesn't know what he's doing. The guy just didn't fucking know. Well, you can tell he doesn't really know he's doing based on the attire he had on to attack the day.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Like, what was he fucking wearing? I did, I didn't respect. I mean, but like put it on a shirt that fits, brother. But I love that. I love how he came out
Starting point is 00:08:53 just looking like he's out of Back to the Future just with a small Star Wars shirt just talking. He reminds me of the bully a back to the future, dude. He just, that shit was terrible. Just put a gun to the business's head. and unlike his attitude, unlike his fit one bit. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Dragon Pizza 2 is a terrible name. Not a fan. Los Angeles, California, cometh he and a guy in New Jersey. Oh, everyone from everywhere is going to go. Yeah. And Yelp and leave a bad review. They're going to crush him, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Absolutely crush him. Do we want to talk about your retirement first, Canada, or... Should we have a moment of silence? Greatest white linebacker named Will Content of all time? And also Jimmy Buffett. That was beautiful. I did...
Starting point is 00:09:40 I was really thinking. about it when I watched that video when you said it to me last night and I just thought to myself man it's one thing to be a linebacker it's a whole different thing to be a white linebacker in the NFL like dog
Starting point is 00:09:54 like that's incredible white any player in the other times yeah but off its line a little bit punter kicker off its line like those are kind of like we're like white guys are still a low key safe but a linebacker dog
Starting point is 00:10:07 it's a dying breed out there yeah you'll find a lot of guys you're a drop of milk in a sea of chocolate Yeah. And you just fucking, and it's, you did it. You really did it. Yeah, it was a good run. It was a good run.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I was nervous sending you that video. Because you called me afterwards. I was like, I was, you know, I was like, but also I need to send it to the boy and get his thoughts. Yeah, I thought you did a really good job. I was worried in the beginning. I told you this conversation, but we'll obviously rehash it again because people can listen to us. When I first started watching the video, I was like, I got nervous that you were going to fall back on humor too much and not like give. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Give the moment it's, yeah, it's time to, like, really, like, give the game of football. It's, like, it's great. And it's tip of the cap as you, like, finally walk away for real. Yeah, it was difficult. The boys can tell you, like, my head was in an absolute blender the entire week last week. Just trying to think of all the different things because it's, yeah, you like to leave with humor as a great defense mechanism on absolutely everything. But also, like you said, tip of the cap to the game to that young boy who was obsessed with the fucking game back in the day. But, no, I thought it went well, man.
Starting point is 00:11:11 It's fun to put it all to bed because you can only do the, you know, do the year 10 stuff for so long to where you're just like, yeah, I know it's debatable. Yeah. Because there was talk last year around February where we were like, you know, you'll be 45. I'll be doing year, whatever, 26 or whatever it is. Because after the Vegas year, it's kind of like, you know, my mom had passed and everything else and it's kind of like, oh, this is, this is the last year because it was the last five weeks of the season. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:36 You're going off, sending the game off, right, sending the boys off right? get the squad into the playoffs and, you know, show me the paperwork the next week. But, yeah, and then how the Arthur Smith and the Falcons just kind of, you know, came out of thin air. That's where it's like, oh, people are in trouble. We are fucking back and year 10 is alive. Give me a couple weeks. I need to get in shape a little bit.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because remember you came to the shop and you're just like, yo, what the fuck is going on? I was so thrown. Yeah. Oh, no disrespect. No, none taking. None taken. I'm really thinking, like, I'm driving over here.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Will Compton's about to go to the NFL who has not taken it seriously at all. And there's these cats sitting at home right now with a dream and a hope thinking like they're going to get their mom out of the situation. They're going to do X, Y, and Z for an opportunity. For the opportunity to be greatness to have their names etched in stone in the history of like being great. Yeah. Yeah. And you're like a friend of a head coach that's like, fuck it, man. We'll get you in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Such a crazy deal. I'll spice myself up for a workout. That shit was wild. Yeah, it was nuts, man. It's like it couldn't have ended any better. like it's just been fucking cool dude yeah been cool i got to have some good old glory years that you look you look back on finally and then you get to have like those three years where you're kind of balancing to and having fun with busts with the boys and busts with the boys was growing
Starting point is 00:12:51 and everything else to where i do think i got to end like you know with bassaccia and the silver and black and the boys out in Vegas got to play with the titans like those two different years that weren't back to back and then it's like uh you get to kind of be done and and make year 10 like a fun little bit, but also it got to like almost come back. It was just wild. It couldn't even get to almost come back and yeah. Being in, you know, like being just a minimum contract,
Starting point is 00:13:23 just vet free agent having like, hey, when do you want to sign? Like, hey, when would you like to come in? Wild. Just nuts. Yeah. Based on the relationships that were built throughout the career, which is awesome in itself. But it's been a hell of a ride. It goes to show.
Starting point is 00:13:38 It's not who you know. It's how it's not what you know, it's who you know and how you know them, right? Yo, you fucking hit it. Dial that shit in. No doubt, man. Fucking over there, smirking in the back, dude. I didn't like that, JP. Do you guys miss me or what?
Starting point is 00:13:50 So much, bro. Hell yeah, dude. I miss you guys, too. Was counting down the days, man. No doubt. I couldn't tell if Jack missed me or not based on the way his fuse was lit so quickly before we got in the show today. We want to talk about it?
Starting point is 00:14:02 Weird. Well, we can say it for the college football talk because I know, don't we want to get into some Canada? I see the look in your guys's eyes. Like, you know, you know, you know, you don't, Jack and I are good no matter what. You know, like, we're bonded. I'll be waiting back here. I'll be waiting back here.
Starting point is 00:14:14 You're in Canada. You were often in Canada. Do you want to talk any more about your retirement? Is there anything else that I need to cover? I want to think of one question to ask you. Okay. But you go ahead and say what you're going to say. I got to do the speech.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I got to throw in some humor. I thought it was very much like how I would want to do a speech and then say all the the right stuff there at the end, thinking all the people. And there's, again, so many people you miss. Like the training room. I'm getting to name specific players like you, the boy, Adam Hayward, a lot of guys that right there opening up that can of worms. You just catch your goals in.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I could rattle off fucking so many guys. Yes, Trent Murphy, Matt Ionitis, Houston Bay. Colt McCoy. Colt McCoy, Tress Way, just a lot of them. Jordan Reed. Yeah, Jay Reid. Ryan Kerrigan. Oh, I talk like that count.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Yeah, Ryan, yeah, RC. There's so many guys, but you leave out. Carrigan with a K. Yeah, Ryan Kerrigan. HBK, Heartbreak Kerrigan, dude. the sexiest man in the locker room that he's probably talking about Ryan Clark though now that that I'm putting together in my head I'm putting together right that's a day that's on me that's on me I keep you're having a swivel with confidence of mine brother thrust yeah yeah yeah but uh
Starting point is 00:15:24 you get to do the speech and then I got to have the conversation with Ben and kind of do a little intro outro and then the old man surprises it has a little video there at the end of that podcast that I did where it was awesome to see I know my dad is super proud he got to say some words and he just did it in the most. I was sitting there watching because my wife, she brings it up after I put Rue down and she's got it on. I'm like, what are you doing? Why are we watching?
Starting point is 00:15:50 What do you get the podcast on? Yeah. And she played it. She had it on the TV. I was like, you know what? Mitch did say that there was something there at the end. I thought Mitch put something together. And he's like, I think you'll like. I was like, he did say it so it's about to come up. Then my old man pops up on his back deck and just starts,
Starting point is 00:16:06 you know. What was your first initial thought when he saw the old man in the back deck? It was like a, um, He was like, I mean, look at, what are we doing up here, I looked at try and go,
Starting point is 00:16:12 did you do this? And she was like, yeah, I was like, this is awesome. That's awesome. And my dad got to have some words. And it just,
Starting point is 00:16:18 it fits in with what I was kind of wanting with that conversation is like, I'm thinking like down the road one day where Rue and if we're lucky enough to have more kids or they have families and, you know, I got grandkids. They get to see their grandpa talking about it. And not only that,
Starting point is 00:16:31 but they get to see their great grandpa talking about it about his son and being happy and proud. And it is just like a, it was fucking cool. So to put it to bed and, and do it that way was, you know, I loved it. What was the most difficult part for you when you were putting everything together? You said your mind was in a blender for a week.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Just figuring out what I was actually trying to do. Because when I sat with Ben, it was such a long conversation. You know, I'm talking about so many different things. And you're just like, you're trying to, it's just that balance of defaulting to humor, making it more of a bit, doing my, doing myself the right way, doing the game the right way, like all these different, like, I guess egos and, personalities I've thought about playing, playing out my career was, that was what was making it hard was, man, what am I wanting to do? Because there's a part of me that wanted to kind of do like that playoff, Willie Spin, where I kind of, I did that A.B.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Spoof and have JP in there with my jersey. And I'm like, thank you all for coming today. And he's like sitting there. And all the other boys are kind of like, is this dude having a press conference? It's like, today I like to officially announce that I'm walking away from the game of football. Then it cuts to JP. And JP's like, you notice he didn't say retired because you can't retire from greatness. And then all the other guys are kind of like having a weird little side eye. But then I was just like, as I was crafting the speech, I'm feeling like my real self that love the game come out and talk about it a little bit more. So I was like, you know, I need to lean more to that because it seems like that's what I'm actually wanting to do.
Starting point is 00:17:56 So that's kind of like why my head was in a blender. And then when I was editing the episode, because I was trying to convey to Mitch, Mitch, poor Mitch is sitting there. He's just like, you know, what things are you wanting to cut out from that? he's like, I know you can overthink about how like the conversation can go, which I very much do all the time. And since it was the retirement thing, I was like that perfectionist that like paralysis by analysis. I was just overthinking everything. I was like, man, just show me a couple ways to edit and I'll do it for you.
Starting point is 00:18:25 So that way you can focus on other things because there's a lot of stuff happening at the bus last week. So I started editing. And as I'm editing, I'm like, man, it'd be cool to throw in some photos. You know, some of these transitions as things got edited out. And as I start getting photos, I'm talking about stories as I'm listening to it. I was like, I'd be cool to have this photo in there or the photo where it's like, yeah, man, me and Taylor, before the boys things kind of took off the end of that photo of me and you in the tunnel, smiling. And then it's like I had to watch Dejean Gomes' Bulldog.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Like I knew I had a photo in my photo album of his Bulldog. And it's like he doesn't know where any of these photos are. It's not like you can find them. Some of them you can on the internet. But then I was getting in my album and then putting it in with the timestamps. Like, oh, it'd be cool to kind of do all that. and then that's where that mine was in a blender
Starting point is 00:19:07 because I was just thinking about how to go about doing it so much because it is. It's like I'm putting it all to bed. When you really came to terms with like, okay, it's really over now I'm not going to do the bit anymore of your 10.2 or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Like how long after you made that decision did you, did this video come out? Because the first time I heard about it was I think right before we were in L.A. Like when did the, you were 10.2 style bit started to wear off? When did you were like? When were you like, okay, it's time to put to bed the NFL career, not just like, we're going to put down the jokes of like 10.2.
Starting point is 00:19:40 And, hey, the NFL can only keep me down for so long. I'll be back, I swear. And then now it's like, okay, we're actually putting to bed, putting the actual stamp on a career and being done. You put it in the envelope in your. Yeah, it's like, I knew I was wanting to retire for the longest and I kind of wanted to figure out, like, how to do it. And then when the boys came out, John Rich and everybody for that year to an investigation. And I knew that would be a funny, like, that would be. like a funny piece and it's kind of like you can only do this shit like you know i don't want to just
Starting point is 00:20:09 sit here and beat a dead horse on this yeah this year 10 bit so i was just kind of like getting over it but the the hard part is like when people are like hey you know where we going this year 10.2 hey i'm still rooting for you and you're just kind of like me you just want to it's like you keep it alive just for that little bit of a flame that was still there for other people wanting it and rooting for it but it feels much better just to be done with it so i don't have to you know you lean into those things then what is it year year 11 then actually what you're 10.3 and then when art's texting like hey it'd be cool if we figured this out it's like are we being serious to I actually want to go fucking try and pull this off just for what the sake of the content I feel like we got we got to do that
Starting point is 00:20:49 last year yeah we got to like do that last year to where jp's literally uh writing with me all the way down to Atlanta just to go do a workout and only to afterwards go to like Popeyes and do a chicken sandwich review a chicken sandwich because we're writing how You go into that workout and you just like, it goes your way and they're giving you breaks, like water breaks and like, hey, take your time. And all the scouts and coaches are out there. And, you know, I was performing well because I had those breaks and they weren't running me into the ground. To everybody's like, oh, it seemed like you're working out and stuff like that. You're like, yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:21:20 And then you get out. And JP and I were like, you know, we're just hype. But it's like, what? Am I going to try and do that again this year? And obviously, like, I'm not going to. Yeah, how long does it last? Yeah, like, I'm truly not going to. I'm not wanting to.
Starting point is 00:21:32 so it's, I just need to say, it's done. Well, now, the way you answered that question, though, John Rich and those boys, you're going to take it as their investigation is what led you to actually retire. I know. So do you need to clear that up? That was the hard part, but like, once I was learning that that was the whole investigation piece, I thought it was funny.
Starting point is 00:21:51 And I know, like, John, they're, John and Vassoli, they're trying to make content for Barstool, right? Like, they're trying to find their own lane. So it's like, you know, how can you, you know, allow that to happen? But it did, it was kind of like, I know I'm retiring. So they're going to ultimately get to... Oh, so you knew before? Yeah, I knew I was wanting to do something to kind of put it all the bed and retire.
Starting point is 00:22:10 All right, got you, gotcha, got you. Because we, I, did you guys feel as way that I felt like you, when you said the investigation thing happened that made you really actually think about it? Yeah, that was me leaning into just being like, being resistant on, like, I'm not going to allow this investigation to sum up like, yeah, this is me actually retiring, like, actually giving in, putting on the ad. what you're saying. I'm not going out on the terms of John Rich and them. I'm going to lean into, no, your 10, your 10.2 still lie. Right. And so it took you about a week to get it done.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Do you feel now that it's all over? Like, how does it feel now that you're officially done? Relieving. Relieving. Like last week, they're like, we figure out that but the bet the bus, it was not week zero last week. He was week one. So we're just pulling a fucking rabbit out of the hat with bet the bus. They're all the boys. I'm literally telling them, hey, I need you guys to involve yourself a little bit more in bet the bus because i'm just not prepared to do the bet the bus all that kind of like the entertaining type stuff because i was so laser focused on this retirement stuff steven all of them they're one and a half conversations and i just know i was giving off a vibe of like i don't care about this right now like please stop talking to me yeah but uh
Starting point is 00:23:21 but yeah i don't even know what your question was but i was like projecting all the boys that you know mitchist sitting there's like hey what are you trying to i was like hey just show me how to do this or fucking how can, I don't know, be nicer to you. Not that I was being a dick, but you're just trying to figure out what I'm trying to do. There's a lot of stuff happening. And then all the layoffs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:41 You had all the layoffs happen. Like Ben had came in on Sunday. We shoot that conversation. I'm thinking about what I wanted to come off as and look like and yada, yada, yada. It's like, oh, is this gay? Is this not gay? It's shit like that. That's what ultimately is going in my head.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Shout out the boys. You know, Jack, he's coming up, hey, can we shoot this? Can we shoot this social ad? It's like, all right, I'll say, let's stop. You guys are pumping out social ads last week. Oh, my God. Doug, I'm telling you, it's a good problem to have because clearly Bustin is sellable.
Starting point is 00:24:11 But at the same time, we're sitting here like, hey, we're not fucking doing. A thousand fucking things. Yeah, like the month of September at one point, it looked like we were supposed to pump out 11 vlogs, two a week and on two different weeks, three vlogs in a week. And so we had to get on a call with a lot of the...
Starting point is 00:24:26 Yeah, what the fuck are we doing here? Hey, we're not doing this. Like, we're not, we're not doing this, but hey, how can we figure out a better way to essentially say we're not going to be doing this? Right. Those conversations had to be had. Those were had on like Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:24:38 They're obviously dealing with a lot up at Barstil HQ, so then all the layoffs happen. So then you lose some of the people you're in contact with out there. But, you know, we're taking care of by Barstool. Like everybody's reaching out to us to. Well, yeah. Like, if it was the exact opposite, where we're sitting here doing, uh, vlogs and everything every week and we can't fucking get an ad read, we'd be way more upset than being like, oh, we're oversold on everything.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just tough because the boys band with, I'm sure, in the back there, like we're in September and you guys are probably not only like, you know, half half empty maybe, but fucking, you know we have a big fall coming up with the fall tour and all that shit. It's going to be a nuts fall. And all the boys push the cart in the same direction right now is fucking doing it. It's going to be fun.

Starting point is 00:26:30 Phenomenal. We're fucking back on this thing. With our fall tailgate tour out, the list is out. This weekend, we're going to be at South Carolina. We'll get into the game Cox in a second. The week after that, South Carolina at Georgia, I know we're fucking stoked for Georgia.
Starting point is 00:26:43 A couple Cox? Two Cox? Two weeks? Two Cox? Then we go out to South Bend. Ohio State at Notre Dame. Notre Dame looks like a fucking team this year. Let's go Irish. About that. The week after that, that's where,
Starting point is 00:26:55 that's the buss and bowl, yeah? greatest, most prestigious trophy game in all of college sports, the second annual, baby. What is that? September 30th. And then we go to week off. Then we go to who's playing at Tennessee? A&M. That's going to be a bang or two.
Starting point is 00:27:13 October 14th. And to finish it off, which is going to be a juicy atmosphere as long as LSU kind of shows back up. Fuck. But Florida at LSU on November 11th, that'll be fucking, that'll be awesome. Dude, I'm so excited to dive into the college football season and even the NFL season. Like, I was obviously up in the Great White North earlier for this entire month and it's fantastic. It's wonderful up there. Much more slower pace.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Beautiful scenery and stuff like that. But my God, do they not give a shit about football? It is fucking wild. How was Canada? It was great. It was good. Here's what I'll say about Canada. I like your Vancouver is, what, Grand Theft Auto?
Starting point is 00:27:53 Yeah, with bears. With bears. That's all Vancouver is. That pissed me off Vancouver and I'll fucking get to that. Like this is one of those trips, Canada in general. This is one of those trips where you're going to have a thousand stories from it because of all the things that had to happen. However, like, if I had to say, was it fun, was it not fun? It'd probably be closer to not fun than fun because, like, all the fall tour stuff and then the Boston and then Vegas, like, all those things were in, like during Canada.
Starting point is 00:28:25 So just when I'm getting settled in Canada, like you get those two, three days. that we're like, all right, I can finally calm down. I'm off to Vegas and I get fucking domineed on the tables. That was... That's tough to even relip right now. Like, I literally just started sleeping good since then. Then I come back and I'm here,
Starting point is 00:28:41 I'm home for like four or five days in Canada and then boom, we're in L.A. for four days. Now, when I get to L.A., there's a bunch of fires going on in Kulana, which is where my wife's from. Colona, Lake Country, B.C., like right in that area. Fire's going on.
Starting point is 00:28:54 I go to fly to Colona and the fires are fucking... essentially I can't fly from Calgary which is in Alberta to BC because there's too many fires like the airport shut down so Talon drives her family and we meet she drives to a place called Lake Louise
Starting point is 00:29:09 for those of you've never been to Lake Louise a lot of you have not it's like a fucking screensaver the water is as blue as like the Titans blue on that hat like no shit it's literally like that the mountains are like the craziest landscape I've ever seen in my life because it's like
Starting point is 00:29:25 they just like it's you know when we go to Arizona, it's like flat and then straight up. Like, look at this. Go to the third photo, the third photo. That's, that's it right there. And that's legitimately what it looks like. It does look good. It is gorgeous, dude. It's insane. And there's a hotel right behind it that's like hundreds of years old. And it used to be a castle with the railroads going through it. And there's like a couple places that are haunted and one door is even sealed because like something from the shining happened back then. And there's a bride who fell down the stairs. And now she haunts the staircase. and there's like hidden doorways and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Like the place is just massive. It's a fucking zoo. Like if you live open concept hotels, don't go here. But like historic beauty, the town of Banff. Like it is incredible. So we, I meet the family there. And that's awesome. It's like when I was a kid,
Starting point is 00:30:11 we would go here all the time. So she like had a great time with it. That was a lot of fun. But I'm living out of that same suitcase from L.A. And I literally, you know how I pack boys. Like I'm, I got the same shorts on right now. And I actually just wash them.
Starting point is 00:30:24 So this is fresh. Pack light live heavy. Packlight live heavy. So I'm like wearing the same clothes. There's like those levels of frustration. We go from Lake Louise to Banff. Go and pull up Banff for me, brother. Because Banff is another like small little town.
Starting point is 00:30:37 That's like super touristy. They have the cute little like candy shops and stuff like that. Kids can roll around. There's trolleys and stuff like that. Like a beautiful little town. That kind of reminds me of I would assume a Durango. You know? It's literally, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:30:50 We hang out there for a couple of days. And then we cruise. Then this is when I have to go to Boston. So we go to Calgary and the girls go to Vancouver. And I go from Calgary to Boston for our flight. And then... Mind you, you're in all these different places because everybody had to vacate. Everyone had to leave for the fires.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Everybody had to evacuate. Now, luckily, obviously, like, you know, a lot of people lost their homes and stuff like that. So, like, while I'm over here having, like, this vacation with my family, Taylund's other family, like immediate family are in fires. Like, is their house going to get lost? Are their friends, there's friends' houses are burning down? I don't know if you guys have ever seen a fire, like the,
Starting point is 00:31:29 what happens after a fire. It's the most wild concept in the world because I'm jumping ahead a little bit, but when I got back to Lake Country, it would be like, you would see like burnt trees and burnt grass and it's all like ash. And then weirdly, like with these super exact angles,
Starting point is 00:31:46 it would like, the fire would just stop. And it would be like green grass. Everything's perfect. Nothing looks like it was even touched. And then like 40 feet from there, it's like back to chaos. And it's just, It's such a weird thing how like things are hit and missed when it comes to fires.
Starting point is 00:31:59 And it's really you're just based on like luck and wind. Like are you downwind from the fire? If so you're fucked. If you're not, then you're going to be all right. And so that is also going through our heads. We go over to Boston. Now here's where my turmoil and my heartache and all my adversity is, is I go to L.A. With you guys with two cans of Zins.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Now I go through two cans of Zins a day. L.A. is a communist country because they don't serve flavored zins. Fine, but they still have zin. So I get myself a few cans of the chills. Lose my wallet. Find my wallet. That was a big fucking deal. Get back. I think to myself,
Starting point is 00:32:37 oh, I'm going to get back to Lake Country. I have a little fleet of zins there. Nothing to worry about. I have to go to Calgary. Guess what they don't have in Calgary, boys? Nicotine. They don't sell nicotine at all. So now I'm a guy who for the last, let's call it three years of my life, have gone through two cans of zins a day, a day, to going to zero.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I can't tell you how much my family pissed me off for those two days. I literally, I remember I was in Calgary and Talon said something to me. She said something like, hey, can you do this? Can you do this for me? And I look at her and go, do I look like your fucking assistant? She said something to me like, hey, can you grab the suitcase out of the thing and bring it up to the hotel room? I look at her go, do I look at your fucking assistant, dude?
Starting point is 00:33:21 Do I have like, blah, blah, blah. And she's like, obviously it was like, go fuck yourself in a hurry. And even in my mind, like, I don't know if any of you guys have quit nicotine or heroin, but it's hard. Because, like, you know what you're saying and doing
Starting point is 00:33:37 and feeling is wrong. And you know that the feelings you're having are because a lack of something else. But you also don't give a fuck. So you're like, she gets mad at me, so I'm thinking, end of me. And so I'm coming at tail and literally, like two days ago, Taylor, we're on the phone.
Starting point is 00:33:53 She's like, Taylor, I love you. I will never go through another nicotine, like situation with you where you have to quit. So, luck of this whole fire thing, I'm actually 12 days sober. 12 days sober of nicotine. And, you know, it is like a mixture with your personality as well. Yeah, I have a very addictive. Yeah, yeah. An extremely addicted personality.
Starting point is 00:34:14 You go about it the way you pack. You pack like you live heavy. Yeah. And so it's very difficult for me to not have Zins. but every day's gotten easier. And also, I told Mitch this when we were walking to the Barstool Awards is the fact that I was feeling the way I did
Starting point is 00:34:30 because I didn't have something on me at all times was enough for me to be like, I can't do Zins ever again. Yeah, to live that way where you're just like, I'm not myself if I don't have this thing in my hand at all times, it was a shitty feeling because when I was with you guys in Boston, I was literally thinking to myself, like every minute was like an hour to me. Every fucking minute, like we were walking.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Like we walked for 10 minutes. I remember you bringing it up. Yeah. And I kept bringing it up. And Loki, I kept bringing it up in Canada too. And I was like, yo,
Starting point is 00:34:59 shut the fuck up. Like, we get it. And I'm thinking, you wouldn't tell me that if I was coming off heroin. So what's the problem? Like, nicotine is one of the hardest things to quit when I'm told. You're like,
Starting point is 00:35:10 I'm defeating substance abuse. I've done a lot of substances in my life. A lot. And I've done a lot in a mass amounts where you would have to literally come down. And nothing's been harder than nicotine. nothing. And so I do feel a whole lot better now. Like I am actually like sleeping a little bit better now.
Starting point is 00:35:27 And I do. I feel like. I'm starting to appreciate life a little bit more. I do. Yeah. Because I. Taylor and I were on the phone. Taylor and I was on the phone.
Starting point is 00:35:34 And that's what you're going to lead into. You're going to lead into when you get back. And Taylor ends up calling me. And I was like, the boy. And he goes, he goes, hey. Ask me how I'm doing. And I go, how you doing? And he goes, bad.
Starting point is 00:35:51 And we start laughing. And I go, who are you around? And he goes, nobody. And take it from here. Dude, I literally was just basically telling him, Will. Like, I don't know if I'll ever be happy again. He literally said that. Like, I'm fighting this nicotine thing.
Starting point is 00:36:06 And like literally like, I'm like 48 hours, 72 hours at that point. And I'm like thinking to myself like, I'm a very happy go lucky individual. At least I claim to be. And I am a positive person. No, by days. No, bad days. I'm a positive person for the most part. I legitimately am thinking to myself,
Starting point is 00:36:21 like, will you, like, will you ever be happy again? Like, in my mind, I'm like, was it just the Zins, the nicotine that made me happy go lucky? As if at 18 years old or whatever, when I didn't even know what a Zinn was, I don't even think they were even fucking being made. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:34 I legit was, like, going through that process. So anyway, I go from Boston. I finally, I think once I left Boston, that's when, like, the real, like, appetite for Zins, like, started to curve more. I still talked about it quite a bit, but, like, Boston was, fucking hell. And I knew I could go
Starting point is 00:36:50 get him in Boston. That's where that's where it really bothered me. That's where you were deciding am I going to go all in here and quit or am I not? And you kind of wanted to go get him, but also you did hate the fact that you were like enslaved to be like, I hate that I fucking have to like need this. We were at the bar. We were
Starting point is 00:37:06 at the bar and we were talking to these two fucking textbook Boston guys. Textbook, love the pads, love all that shit. I'm, I hate you guys, like, yeah. Pulls them out, pulls out chills. It's like, oh, you don't do flavors? He's like, they don't sell flavors in Boston. I'm thinking, what the fuck are we doing and the corners of America I kept trying to be like that little bird in your ear I'm like don't do it
Starting point is 00:37:23 Yeah he told me not to take one I took it out and I put it in my lip And what did I do? You immediately spit it out I immediately took it out And I was like I can't fucking be that guy Dude I can't be the guy like
Starting point is 00:37:33 I have two kids If I my kids get bad habits And I look at them in the eyes And I go hey You gotta stop doing that Like they're not gonna think Well dad in 23 you couldn't quit Zins When I was six years old
Starting point is 00:37:45 And three years old But I'll be a phony to myself. And I'll legitimately, that happened another time too, because when we got back to Lake Country, I had all those stacks of Zins. And I walked in there
Starting point is 00:37:56 and I stared at for about five minutes, and I put one in. And I walked out and I threw it. And the biggest thing for me was going back and seeing my family and being like, I just put a Zinn in, 10 seconds and I threw it out. But I wanted you guys to know
Starting point is 00:38:07 because I feel like, I'd be like, I want to lie to people. Like I want, no joke. Like, I legitimately, this is how crazy it is, dude, it's fucking three years, three years, two cans a day.
Starting point is 00:38:18 I legitimately wanted to lie to people and tell them like, I'm not doing it and then somehow sneak away and have my own zins to myself. I do that with chocolate all the time. Do you? Like, like, legitimately, legitimately be a fraud to myself.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Like, that's how I, hey, you're okay if you're a fraud, but if people view you as a fraud, it's totally different. And that was like, that's the kind of fucking thing we're starting doing. So anyway, I leave Boston.
Starting point is 00:38:44 I fucking, I go to, I go to Vancouver. Dude, all I hear about Vancouver is how fucking great it is. Everyone's like, it's so beautiful. It's amazing. Like, everything is just, oh, Vancouver. It's so clean. It's so majestic.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Like, and here's the thing, too, is Canadians don't like Americans. To say what you want. And I know that I have family and friends in Canada that are going to call me after then they see this and be like, come on, bro, we like, we like America. No, you guys don't. You guys don't like America. And you guys say shit about America. And then you claim like, like I had somebody tell me, like, you guys don't even know history.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Like, you get, they don't teach. Canadian history in America. And I'm thinking, why the fuck would they do that? But they're like getting on me about that. And they're like, you know, you guys in America are like this. I'm thinking, we're not so different. Because they're like, you know, Trump's an asshole. I'm like, how do you guys feel about Trudeau?
Starting point is 00:39:30 They're like, that's a fucking cuck. I'm like, okay, we're the same. We're the fucking same. Like, it's all the same. And it's just like, if you take, let me lay down a couple things for you guys. 95% of Canada's population is within 100 miles of the U.S. border. because the rest of it's fucking Eskimo's frozen tundra. Like you can't fucking live up there.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Like it's oil rigs and stuff. So if you just said, what are the values of Washington, the state of Washington, go up? It's the same exact thing as BC. What are the values of South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, all those little plain state go up, Alberta, it's the same thing. So what I just tell you, BC's real blue, Alberta's real fucking red. And that's kind of how it goes.
Starting point is 00:40:13 If you just go, whatever state is next, that's how they view the same shit. It's the same thing. They're just missing the Bible Belt. That's all that is in Canada. So people are telling me how amazing Vancouver is, and it's the cleanest city in the world. I get there.
Starting point is 00:40:25 I get to Vancouver. Let me start by saying, it is a very pretty city. It is. When you're flying in, you see the fucking water. You assume there's orcas everywhere, like bridges,
Starting point is 00:40:37 landscape, bears, you think, forest, it's all fucking beautiful. Yeah, it is. There's a heroin addict on every corner. There's drug, All that stuff is legal in Canada.
Starting point is 00:40:50 A lot of homeless people. A lot of homeless people. I thought to myself, why are there so many homeless? Like, people just fucking using syringes and needles and stuff like that everywhere. And it's the most expensive city of all time, too.
Starting point is 00:41:01 I go to, like, North Vancouver area on this, like, dock. And I'm like, I go in this little parking garage with my family and, and Taylor's like, hey, lock the car. There's a lot of petty crimes in Canada. Now, I love my wife to death. But every time we get out of a car,
Starting point is 00:41:15 it's like, hey, lock the car. there's a lot of... Blah, blah, blah. You could be... We could be in... Bontair, Missouri. But I've got to watch out around here.
Starting point is 00:41:21 It's like, probably not, honey. We're gonna be fine here with the petty crimes. But... Yeah, we leave our stuff in Lodagh in Fonter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:26 You can't get locked out. No. Yeah, exactly. I had to teach me that, hey, we gotta lock our stuff. Yeah, I don't lock my shit either. I've lived in America for 32 years.
Starting point is 00:41:34 I'm 32 years old. I've had a gun pulled on me one time, and I've had my car stolen twice. That's three crimes have been committed against me and my 32 years of life of living in America. Okay, so it's 1.2 crimes every 10 years.
Starting point is 00:41:50 You really thought about this. I've spent nine months total of my life, probably in Canada. I got my backpack stolen out of the back. Laptop that I fucking dialed in. Second laptop. Second laptop. Laptop stolen. Like, dude.
Starting point is 00:42:05 You got a question, J.B? I was just I was going to say, where's the first one? I left it in Vegas at TSA. But that's my own doing. It is at the Vegas airport. People would argue too that this is my doing too that unlocked the corridor, but it's like... There's no question that that's...
Starting point is 00:42:21 That's going to be unanimous. On me for sure. But Vancouver figures your shit out, dude. That's crazy. You can't be the most expensive city to live in in North America and also have that kind of crime. That's just crazy.
Starting point is 00:42:35 You can't have both. Yeah. Right? Pick one bad thing. You've both of the bad things. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And so, fuck Vancouver.
Starting point is 00:42:43 So when Taylor, hang on, hang on here. So when Taylin told you not, hey, locked the doors all, you're like, I got it, I got it. And also, this is, I'm, you carried up. Four days post ins at this point. Four days post ends.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Right. There was a little gap of flying over from Boston being on the runway, eating food, feeling sick, your tummy acting up. Yeah, I got sick. I literally landed from Boston and I go to the hotel,
Starting point is 00:43:06 Talon's at. And I'm like, hey I got to go throw up real quick. I really threw up. I felt like shit. I felt terrible. Manked, not a great start. And then I drove to the Airbnb. That could have been in, or it could have been the meal I had on the plane that was
Starting point is 00:43:19 I mean, you looked at it and you probably think don't eat that. And I still ate it. So that's kind of maybe more what it was. But yeah, I literally, my backpack got stolen. And it's not like I mean, we had this conversation. There's not a lot of things that bother me if I'm, like my wallet in L.A. Like, to me, those type
Starting point is 00:43:36 of things, like if you lose them, they're going to come back. That's one of the more wild stories. We can talk about that one right after this so we don't get on a tangent. For me, it's not like, if I lose something, it usually comes back because I don't put a lot of value in, like, things. In anything except Zins. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Literally, like, there's not a whole lot of items that I possess that I'm, like, so drawn to that it affects me. But I took a lot of time with this computer to fucking set it up, dude. A couple months. Hold on, bro. And it was literally like two weeks. I took a lot of time to set up this computer. No fucking joke.
Starting point is 00:44:12 And here's the shitty part is I started typing up a bunch of shit. And I kind of just putting my thoughts on paper, but also writing letters to my kids that I was going to give to them. Like when, you're six years old. This is what you like. This is what you and I do together. This is your personality, blah, blah. And I kind of write all these things down. I'm like, I have some value in this computer that's not just a dollar sign.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Right. And I'm like fired about it. And I wrote down a fucking. what's it called? You know that little thing I sent you on Instagram of what I want to do for Twisted Tea?
Starting point is 00:44:43 Yeah, yeah. I wrote down like a whole, like three one minute clips of it. And I was so, dog, I finished that shit, I was so fired up. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:44:51 lokey, I'm a writer now. You know what I said? I wrote that shit. I was like, damn, I'm kind of fucking Tarantinoing my life. I'm writing it.
Starting point is 00:45:00 You didn't set up the I cloud? No, I don't even know what that is. But that's what pained me. Do you be able to have all that stuff? I know. And the people don't, oh,
Starting point is 00:45:07 you said, I cloud. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't do it. Not on Google Docs or sheets. He's like, oh, I put on the notes. I put on pages. On pages on. I put on pages and saved. I did the fucking three sweep, the three finger swipe up that G taught me. And I had like different desktops. I had, the middle desktop was with all my pages on. I was like, I'm so fucking organized. And the left one, I had the Trello and all our fucking calendar and all that shit. I had all of it. And on the other side, I had my little, my texties where I would fucking pull it. I get my little clown horn noise
Starting point is 00:45:38 and I'd pull that up and be like, let me hit the sky back on my computer real quick. I have my shit dialed, bro. And no, if I might, because you could find your... Oh yeah, I put that in, too. No joke. When I found, when I found out my laptop was gone, I got so fucking mad and Taylin, bless her heart.
Starting point is 00:45:55 She goes, I told you. And that's the worst fucking thing you can say to somebody. But she said it like, she didn't say it like, she didn't say it like, hey, I fucking told you. She's like, oh, honey, I told you. Like, like, You should have listened. And I'm thinking, I'm about to throw you off this parking garage, dude.
Starting point is 00:46:11 I love her to death, but I was so mad at that point. But she was just, she was truly just trying to help. Dude, can I ask? Hold on. I walked around for four hours and looked at every homeless guy. I walked up on a homeless guy. And I was like, something with the home. I was like walking up on him.
Starting point is 00:46:25 And he goes, what's wrong? Dude, you never seen a homeless guy laying on the ground before? I was like, I don't know. Has a homeless guy ever seen my laptop? And I'm like, me and this homeless guy start talking. He points me in the direction of where I should go. I go out to a. homeless encampment with Quinn,
Starting point is 00:46:39 Taylin's brother, and we're like talking to homeless people and we're like, hey, you're trying to solve this case. I'm sounding out $500 for this laptop. I'm like, I'm on it, brother. And they're fucking cruise over and they fucking vanish into the darkness.
Starting point is 00:46:51 And they're looking for it. We obviously didn't find it, but go ahead, ask me the question. When Taylorin was like, hey, locked the doors, you made the conscious decision to continue to not lock the door? I'm glad you brought that up
Starting point is 00:47:02 because that could have been lost in translation here. When we got the rental, car, I was driving the rental car and I drove us to this parking garage area and then I get out of the parking garage I get out of the car and I was like, hey, we're the keys. And I was like, oh fuck, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I thought you had the keys. She's like, no, no, no. So we started looking for the keys. And we couldn't find the keys in the car, but the car would start. So I was like, okay, the keys are in here. She's like, well, you should really lock it. There's a lot of petty crime here. I'm thinking, we're going to be an hour, bro. Like, what's going to happen? We end up being like three hours. And I got back, dude, and it was just gone.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Where were the keys? Where did you end up in? I literally... Right. The keys were in there, right? They're in there. But it's funny. The reason why I found out my backpack was actually missing
Starting point is 00:47:44 is because I got into the vehicle and went to start the car and it said, key missing. And I was like, oh shit, it must have been in my backpack. So I end up calling.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I'm on the phone. I was like, just call and they'll turn the car in for you remotely. And I'm like, this isn't fucking I robot. Like, they don't do that. But I called
Starting point is 00:48:04 and they said, yeah, we don't do that. I was like, okay. So I'm there. And me and Jason are literally walking. I'm walking up on fucking everybody. Looking for a black Jan sport backpack.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Black, brown bottom. Not just a backpack. It was the first time since I was probably 16 years old. This was about 22 years old that I was legitimately like ready to throw down with the first person that like looked at me the wrong way. I could have very easily been on a Vancouver news. I probably wouldn't have got arrested. Huh? With the, your license photo.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Oh, the crazy look. Yeah. I would have done that to you. Yeah, dude. So that was, that was the worst part. Vancouver, I thought Calgary was the worst city,
Starting point is 00:48:45 but it's actually Vancouver. So, Lake Country's cool, though. I like Lake Country, dude. But you know what, you know what? After I got, dude,
Starting point is 00:48:54 after I got, like, after I left and got to the house, I just took some Duke Cannon out. I rubbed myself fucking down. Because you were stinky there for a minute. Yeah, dude. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:49:06 I was using? That new Duke Cannon sent trophy game, man. That shit is like, dude, it was created a support. Created with support from, dude, I, go ahead. I'm ready. No, you're talking about this trophy game sent, man. It was created with the support from yours truly the boys. And it's available in thick body wash and the big ass brick of soap.
Starting point is 00:49:26 The idea was hatched at the Buston Bowl with the Duke Cannon team. And we wanted to bring a scent to life that celebrates college football. Not only college football, but the greatest rivalries. The greatest game that is. going to be had this season, September 30th, the trophy game. And it has notes of smoked leather and amber and smells like collegiate bragging rights, not just your randomly assigned freshman roommate. It has a thick, high viscosity body wash. And this bottle of thick is formulated with a noticeably higher viscosity and built to work effectively on your body and not spew down
Starting point is 00:50:00 the drain, the shower drain. The big-ass brick of soap, hear me out here, is three times bigger than bullshit you're using anywhere else. It's triple milled for superior quality and it's made with natural oils. Find the new Duke Cannon sent at Duke Cannon.com slash trophy game and it is also now available in your closest Walmart. Shout out Walmart. No free shoutouts. But yeah, go check out that scent. We want to hear what you guys think about it. Thank God you had it on your trip in Canada. I needed it. I needed it bad deal. But one thing I didn't have how much of it was fucking college football. Yeah. I did see when you posted that video. like I'll keep me posted the Michigan game.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Like, oh, that sucks. It did kind of suck, dude, because I was like... So you're having a family day, so that's positive. Yeah. It's like, you do. It was solid, but it was also like, yeah, I was so... Week one.
Starting point is 00:50:48 But both back. I love week one, brother. And you just kind of want to fucking dive in. I almost fully loved week one. What? Oh. Because Nebraska. Yeah, dude, like, you guys,
Starting point is 00:50:58 you just got to stop being so soft on your franchise. Like, you just... What? I just kind of feel like you're always finding that silver. line and like sometimes it's like you need to have a good long look in the mirror for real and realize like hey let's really figure it out right so just to be clear you think that after the very first week of the rule era where the defense played well how did what I did we had four turnovers which is not
Starting point is 00:51:27 good you got to protect the football two false starts inside the five yard line where you don't come away with what you want you want me to draw a line in the sand and and start calling for heads after week one and chill up and panic like that? No, and that's a good way to use my words against me. What I'm saying is, is like every single time, like how many games do they win last year?
Starting point is 00:51:46 Nebraska. Doesn't matter. They won three games last year. Like, those nine losses, Will comes in here. Low key with a smile on his face. He looked like the way he did after we lost in beer ball
Starting point is 00:51:56 in beer Olympics. Like, roll the tape in the beer, nothing really has affected. Nothing's really affected him at that point. Like, he's just like, this is the reason why we lost. He's very understanding of it.
Starting point is 00:52:06 And he, like, gives up reasons why they lost and then he moves on. It's like, let's hold Nebraska a little more accountable for what's happening. And I understand Matt Rule is going to get Nebraska back on track. I don't doubt that at all. I really believe they're going to do that. Minnesota. Tell me what you want me to do. Dude.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Tell me what you want me to do on the accounting for a lot. Just a little tough love. I want you to give a little tough love. I just want you have a little more tough love. I've talked about it. I've talked about... You're being an MSNBC dad right now. No, you got to do.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Listen, we learned in the... from the same from the same head coach you got to build on the good you got to fix the bad and you got to eliminate the shit to get you beat no question cannot be false starting at on the goal line there's no question we can't be false starting we're shooting ourselves on the foot we can't not come away with points right before halftime however now let's think about the good the defense played well the defense hey well you didn't watch the game i'll watch the highlights it doesn't like you if you watch the game you see a defense that was playing with a uh a weird confidence and swagger that it was a little unexpected like okay these boys are out here thumping they're talking a
Starting point is 00:53:10 little bit of shit some things that you didn't see the back end is playing well i'm excited to see them play against colorado this week but it's like we're playing against the minnesota team we're running the ball yes we got to correct some things on offense but i'm not going to sit here and have some tough love on a quarterback that it's he just got to nebraskan it's his first week j sims yeah j jimms it's his first week and it's like we got to have some momentum and confidence we're not going to shell up and listen to the outside noise i'm not going to be one of those first fucking guys that just starts pointing the finger because there's good to build on. And again, yes, we beat Minnesota.
Starting point is 00:53:41 There's a debate out there is, are they good or are they not good? But let's not act like we're in Ireland and we're up 11 points trying to throw a little on-site kick against Northwestern who is abysmal as a football team last year. You're like Minnesota hasn't lost four games since 2018. They have a program that's moving. They have, they play good football. Yes, not the strongest offense from that quarterback. I think the jury's out on him.
Starting point is 00:54:05 But this is a program that has a program that has a. lost four games since 2018. And we had four turnovers. They had one. They were, Minnesota was minus three in the turnover category. If you're going in, if Rabel's going in and we have and we're what, what is it, minus
Starting point is 00:54:20 three plus three, if we're up on turnovers, what is that? If we're up, is that? Plus three? Yeah, you're plus three. If we're plus three, you're pissed that you came out of a game winning on a game winning field and the crowd storms the field. Nebraska was minus three in the turnover margin. and rain the ball well.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yes. We got to take care of the football. Yes. We can't fumble in four minutes. When we're running the football, well. It's nice to see this kind of passion. Irvin's got, he's punishing guys as you run. Let's give them the ball a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:54:47 But I'm not going to start doing the, here's what the coaches need to do. Here's what everything else. No, I want to build on the fucking, I want to give confidence. You just did that. Doing what? Doing what? What I said, here's what the coaches need to do? Here's what this need to do.
Starting point is 00:54:57 But I'm saying publicly, I'm not going to be the accountable. One sentence, you say we need to give that running back more. and then you say, but I'm not going to tell everybody what to do. Right, but I'm letting you know that that is there. However, I'm not going to be one of them fucking guys. What do you think I'm asking for right now? I'm just saying... You're asking for tough love.
Starting point is 00:55:10 You want me to publicly be like, when are you going to draw the line in the sand against Nebraska? Is that not how he's coming off with the question? Can I at least get some guys in the back to help me out? Go ahead, boys. Oh, how are we pointing to me? Go ahead, boys. It did seem like Taylor was trying to make Will draw the line in the sand against Nebraska. I'm just saying wins enough enough enough.
Starting point is 00:55:29 I'm saying wins enough enough. And I think Will... One week of the... Will does a phenomenal job of keeping it positive and that's great. But brother, how long are we to keep it positive? Like, this is ridiculous. But where's the negative that we need to be like, it's not the same team as last year? You know what the problem?
Starting point is 00:55:42 That's what everybody wants. Everybody's like, oh, same old story. But it's not the same team. I don't think it's the same team either. I don't. I think we're going to be real. I think we got to. But when you say a lot of things are going to happen this Saturday with Colorado and Nebraska
Starting point is 00:55:54 that are going to surprise a lot of people. Can I think that? Can I say one more thing? Can I say one more thing? Go ahead. When you say wins enough enough enough. But yeah, I know. it's not the same team as last year. When you say
Starting point is 00:56:03 wins enough enough, you're bringing in what? Any type of history? We've had one week. It's like, okay, when's enough enough? Your, uh, you're, your, your, your, your, overwhelming positivity to a, a, uh, a franchise that just isn't fucking doing it. Like you, did you not, did you not see the post game pantry? No, I'm not
Starting point is 00:56:22 absolutely positive. I'm trying to like, this fucking sucks. It sucks. The boys fought hard, but you know what? There's some good on the film. Let's not fucking buy into all the noise that goes on right now. Maybe I should have watched week one. I got a question. Go ahead. Before Michigan started being good again, did you die on the hill for them? No. So if Will's dying on the hill for them, even when they're bad, what's the line that he needs to draw? Ooh, thank you, gee. Wait, you asked me if... He's calling you a frontrunner. He's calling you,
Starting point is 00:56:54 he's saying now the Michigan's good. Yeah. Right. You're now, hey, gloves are off. I'm coming for heads. I'm this and that. Ohio State sucks. You guys didn't even cover against, who is it? Eastern... Eastern Carolina. Covering against a shitty school does not make... Why? Like, you pull your guys
Starting point is 00:57:10 as fast as possible when you get the dub and you move on. That's called looking towards a national championship. But what I'm saying is... Oh, something that you guys have failed to get. What you're asking me is,
Starting point is 00:57:19 you think I'm being a front runner. What I'm saying is, is when the standard wasn't good enough with the University of Michigan that I stand by and say, it's okay, guys, don't worry, you say,
Starting point is 00:57:26 I'd do a couple of things. I was like, no, it's bad. I literally said, we should fire a hardball. Was I wrong? Absolutely, I was wrong. But now look what the tough love brought brought them. They fucking look themselves in the mirror.
Starting point is 00:57:34 They go, oh shit, T. Lou is telling us we're not good enough. And they fucking did it. I talked to the boys at the golf course. I talked to him in the golf course. And they're like, hey, honestly, yeah, we were fucking pissed at you. We didn't like you very much. So I was in their fucking head. I made them look in the mirror.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Not just think, oh, it's going to be okay. We's going to play a little bit better ball. Frontrunner, dude. I'm willing to draw a line in the same thing. Hey, boys, shit's not good enough right now. It's tough as an alumna to see this. I hope to God it gets better. Do I think hardball's doing enough job?
Starting point is 00:57:59 No, I don't think he's doing enough job. Now, just as much as I can puff up my chest, I'm now laying down my sword saying, I was absolutely wrong about the situation. You guys looked in the mirror. You did your work. You came back, and now we're the number two team in the country. But you didn't call for Harbaugh's head after one game.
Starting point is 00:58:16 I'm not calling for your coach's head either. You're still asking wins enough enough enough. What? You know what I was it? Wins enough enough out of you. Like, what are we fucking... Why are we going to keep us over when we positive about Nebraska? Because we're in the fucking trenches, man.
Starting point is 00:58:30 We're in the trenches right now. Swing on them. Bro. We're in the fucking trenches, man. We got. Only one of us is retired. That's all I got to say, dude. Hey, it's...
Starting point is 00:58:43 I understand what you're coming from. You know... I'm trying to think about a moment that I can come from a... You saw how I handle my business with Michigan and you see how much it would help them. I'm just saying, you're just patting them on the back all the time, bro. I'm not patting them on the back. I'm not patting them on the back.
Starting point is 00:59:01 And also, you're just... Also, like, you're speaking out of both sides of your mouth, too. We, hey, guys running. He's running fierce. He's running me. We should definitely give him the ball a little bit more. But I'm also going to tell these coaches what to do because, well, you know, trust the process, blah, blah, blah. Like, yeah, but think of you as a player.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Like, when you fuck something up and the coaches, like, I should have called something different. And there's a moment to where you're like, yeah, maybe we should have. But also, fuck that. I should have blocked that motherfucker better. Like, but you figure out a way, hey, put it on me. Put it on me. And you need some of that. You need that mentality.
Starting point is 00:59:26 You need that accountability going on. It sounds like hopefully to build to progress. Hopefully a rule. Figures it out. Just right now we're going into Colorado and we can't be all frantic about it like a chick with her head cut off. We just need some, hey, there's some bad shit out there. Let's fix it. This isn't fucking, you know, start throwing grenades and start covering your own ass.
Starting point is 00:59:44 This is just week one. Don't worry about the outside noise. I'll tell you what Nebraska has is a major opportunity going into week two. We really do. Everybody is counting them out. We already knew TCU was a fluke last year. We fucking knew that immediately. Colorado is not as good as people think.
Starting point is 00:59:57 I want, we talked about this morning. I want so badly to be on the Dionne Sanders train, but I'm still a little bit skeptical. I think Nebraska, if they keep it within one score, I think as a Nebraska fan base, you need to be really proud of that. So you're always saying we're losing. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:15 We keep it within one score. Yeah, I think you guys are going to lose that game. What's the line? It's minus three Nebraska right now. I'm just kidding. It's minus three Colorado at Colorado? Yeah. Oh, I would take Colorado all day on that.
Starting point is 01:00:30 That's fine. I hope fucking people do. We're going to cover that. I hope people do. Oh, shit, yeah. But the good news is you guys are going to start 0 and 2, and then you're going to go to Northern Illinois, squeak out a win there and go 1 and 2.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Louisiana Tech, sleepy. Let's go 1 in 3. Mayor 1 in 4 gets Michigan. Illinois, toss up. We'll give it to you 2 and 4. then who you got after that? Illinois, Northwestern. I mean, that's a, that is like you guys a Super Bowl after what happened in a week zero.
Starting point is 01:01:04 So we're three and four. You guys, because hopefully Purdue, Purdue was abysmal this past week. We lost a Fresno State. So we're four and four. Now we're got to be happy about that. Gotta be happy about that. Michigan State, four and five.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Maryland, five and five. Wisconsin, five and six. Iowa toss up. Best case scenario, we're looking at a 500 team here. Best case. And low-key, it really hurt
Starting point is 01:01:34 that you guys lost to a fucking team that has no business being mentioned in the same breath as Nebraska. Who you talking about? Minnesota. Good luck with all that, man.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Six and six, do you want to know? Just, what is Will's prediction on his team? What is Will's prediction? Nine and three. Okay. I would, I'll bet all, I'll bet all the money.
Starting point is 01:01:57 I said the floor is seven wins. Whatever you want to bet that. My, my, my record's closer than your record. Listen, good luck. Good luck with, you don't got to pull up Michigan.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Losing the Louisiana attack. Michigan isn't 12 and no going to the Big Ten championship than the whole season was a fluke. Is there no worries on the game against ECU? It's because they seem to go a little slow. No. Well, first off, you got to think, too, is with the new rule changes in college football,
Starting point is 01:02:26 all, everything is a running clock until two minutes at half and in the fourth quarter. So time of possession is going to be way different, especially with the team that holds the ball a lot more and they're not a running gun spread offense. Like if you look at Ohio State versus Indiana, Ohio State versus Indiana last year, Ohio State had 17 possessions on offense. This year, they only had 10 possessions. Like that's with that rule change, it's a small little rule change, but it's also going to play in the favor of a team like Michigan who does a great job of holding the clock, playing good defense, and taking their shots when they need to have it. that's going to play big time into the University of Michigan. Not covering. That's just the line.
Starting point is 01:03:00 That's Vegas not keeping up with the rules. There's that. And also, when you have your head coach out, you want to get your lead that you know you're going to win with. Get your boys out of there. Get to week two because it's not, it's a long season.
Starting point is 01:03:14 It's a long season you want to get, not covering. This whole great teams cover. Like, no one gives an actual fuck about that. That's a cool line that's somebody made up that loves the gamble. That's all that fucking is. That is so false.
Starting point is 01:03:24 great teams covered because it means they're better truly. It's like a handicapped in golf what we were talking about earlier. Jack, if they didn't, if they didn't pull their guys, if they didn't pull their guys, if they didn't pull their guys five minutes in the third quarter, then they would have done it.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Dude, covering with a 33 point spread is way different than covering you in a seven and a half point spread. Obviously, Ohio State's going to cover a lot easier on Indiana because it's going to be a little bit more of a deal when they pull their guys out, and then Indiana is going to fucking bend the knee. When you get to, when you see Michigan and get into the low double digits
Starting point is 01:03:56 and the high single digits of it, now you need him to cover. Now you need that. What's the line versus UNLV? Probably 28? 27-5. What is it? Do you have a computer in front of you, Jack? Pull it up. Y'all's schedule is fucking a joke.
Starting point is 01:04:13 You guys play Penn State and Ohio. They don't ask how many. You guys play fucking high school teams. Let me just tell you. I want to tell you something right now. Michigan thinks that they're all that. I want to do the fucking playoff and get wiped every year. The way you're talking right now is projecting all. This is your brother butter.
Starting point is 01:04:31 You love to act like when you don't have a response. You're always getting mad. No. No, I'm just, I'm honest. And y'all schedule is always weak. And that's realistic. Jack, the arguments you're making weren't what we're talking about. We're talking about lines.
Starting point is 01:04:44 And then you go to your schedule is weak. Those are two separate categories of an argument. That's what I'm trying to say. The anger you're coming from is basically that when I said, Tennessee's got a lot of holes. So that's why you're protecting so much there. Let's look at the line. Let's pull up UNLV in Michigan.
Starting point is 01:05:00 That's 37, they will not cover that. Michigan will not cover versus UNLV. You got a computer. And I hope to God, bet the bus. What's that? I said, or the time where you just said, you got a computer, look it up yourself. Well, he's the guy that literally has the thing.
Starting point is 01:05:14 I say, we look at the line. I'm just saying, the aggression. So let's do, let's, you said it looks like Tennessee has holes. They did have a big win. What were the holes? This morning, this morning, Will and I were in the song, and Will said that out loud, so I just said that to make Jack Matt earlier. I mean, no, go look at my Twitter.
Starting point is 01:05:34 If you look at the Twitter in the first half of the Tennessee game, Will's not wrong at all. They struggled those special teams. We had a wide open 60-R pass. Keaton, unfortunately, he dropped it. We had issues. First game. You know, we still did, though, we covered. Great.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Like great teams do. Great teams. do. That's a fun. I know Nebraska's one and O against a spread. What's Michigan? O and one. Is that what you want? Would you rather be 12 in a spread and lose every game? Depends. Because you guys aren't going to be... How much money my swinging out there? Did you? Dude, I mean... 37? Michigan's not covering against UNLV. You can bet that. You said Michigan's not covering against UNLV?
Starting point is 01:06:15 37. I mean, have some fucking... I'm not betting that. I'm not betting that. Faith, what are you talking about? I want them to win the game. They're going to win the game by 28 points. Like, how much more do you want to win by? Just keep it fucking moving. Get dubs win a Natty. Dude, I can't wait until you're fucking losing. Michigan is in a fork in the road situation with their season. I don't think Harbaal is going to be there next year out of his choice. I think he's going to go back to the NFL. So they don't need to win the national championship this year. Jack, I hope Tennessee's in it. For the same reason, as I lay down my sword, I hope Tennessee's in it because they've had the same issues in the past that Michigan
Starting point is 01:06:48 has as being relevant in the 90s, not relevant at all in the 2000s and tens. And so Now we have an opportunity to maybe meet up in the playoffs, have a little fun that way. But if we're going to have an attitude like this, brother, like, let's, let's fucking... So you don't want, you don't want Nebraska to win. Same scenarios. Nebraska is not going to win. I'm not talking about things that are relevant.
Starting point is 01:07:04 That's not going to happen. Michigan, Nebraska is not going to be good this year. Right. They're going to be a six and six team at back. But you'd be like, oh, I hope they do good. I'm going to lay more sword down because we're familiar. I hope Tennessee is good. I hope Nebraska does good, but you got us losing to Louisiana Tech.
Starting point is 01:07:19 If Nebraska... You're trying to say, oh, losing to a team that shouldn't even be in the same breath of Nebraska goes six and six. If Nebraska goes six and six, that's Nebraska doing good. That's being in a step in the right direction. That's Matt Rule getting a program on the right track with obviously the players that aren't his players yet.
Starting point is 01:07:34 He's going to get transfer portal. You go six and six at a program like Nebraska. You're looking at at least an eight win team in the year after that and then you're looking at double digits after that. That's what I'm saying. Rule has that. He shows it in his track record. He's going to do a phenomenal job with that.
Starting point is 01:07:46 I'm saying you guys are not in the conversation that Tennessee and Michigan are in right now. Boys, five years from now, Michigan might suck dick, and it can be a big fucking jump on Taylor-Lawand party. We can have that party. But right now, I got the best team on this bus. You'll be nowhere to be found. If Tennessee and Michigan played today, Tennessee would win. We got a hardball?
Starting point is 01:08:07 We don't have hardball. You have whoever you want. You have a hardball? You can throw your fours up. And I mean that. I know that it's the most biased opinion coming from me. That's such a hypothetical. I know, but I think if we took a vote, Tennessee has a better team than Michigan.
Starting point is 01:08:20 That doesn't do nothing for this. You're right. Let's see. SEC guy, SCC guy, Ohio State guy. Yeah, if we took a phone, obviously they're going to go. You and LV, Bowling Green Rutgers, no offense. Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana, and then Michigan State.
Starting point is 01:08:35 Yeah, that's a, no. Yes, because half of them are high school program. The only, the only problem we have on the schedule. Hey, I was stoked with what I saw with Nebraska. They had promising stuff. I think they'll be. Just call them a high school program. No, I'm talking about UNLV bowling green.
Starting point is 01:08:51 Hey, well, you're, You're catching strays in Jack's argument. It's not about you right now. Don't take it personal. He's coming at me and my... Which, hey, Jack, I'll tell you something about the schedule. I don't give a fuck. I'm happy about this.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Like, bring out the pawns. We'll fucking have them all. We'll knock them over and we'll go into the playoffs with guys that are more healthy, taking care of... Because they're not thinking... They're not even thinking about big-thin championships anymore. It's literally win the natty or fuck off.
Starting point is 01:09:17 That's how Michigan needs to be viewing this thing. That's how it is. You've been in the playoffs two years and row. You can play off two years in a row. And I'll be honest with you, haven't done shit. That's the tough love. The tough love we're talking about. So when you're like, but your schedule, who fucking cares? They don't ask how, they ask
Starting point is 01:09:31 how many. Yeah, you're in the SEC. Congratulations. The SEC is the strongest conference. Maybe, I mean, but they're the strongest conference. That being said, Michigan, go in the nanny. We'll put fucking Georgia and Alabama in our
Starting point is 01:09:45 fucking regular season after that. Who fucking knows? But I'm just saying, what a weird argument that is. I don't understand that. argument that people have. You're a weird argument. You look at an SEC schedule versus a Big Ten schedule and it's very obvious
Starting point is 01:09:57 that we have more wounded going into war. No question. We have to be juggernaissance. You have a better team. Look at the Big Ten. Rutgers and Maryland is in the Big Ten.
Starting point is 01:10:06 That's terrible. Rutgers and Maryland should be like Washington State and Oregon State. They should just be fucking kind of floating in the abyss waiting to be picked up by some sort of things
Starting point is 01:10:15 so they can be bait for people fishing with bigger schools. Making strides? Who? Maryland and Rutgers. First off, it's Maryland. You and the pronunciation of Big Ten teams, my brother. It is tough.
Starting point is 01:10:28 Are you a little rattled right now? No, what's to be rattled about? You're talking a lot? I'm talking a lot because I'm back on this podcast. My team is at the tops. We're two in the country. Jack got a little mouthy. I got Mouthey with Jack, too.
Starting point is 01:10:41 And I can see... Taking wild under the table shots in Nebraska. For somebody that was... It's really not about you right now. Be a fan. We had your thing a minute ago. I'm making it about Nebraska. Make it about Nebraska.
Starting point is 01:10:51 Nebraska, if they go six and six, you guys should be the fucking happiest program in all of college sports. And that's a compliment. The bar is low for Nebraska right now. Like, what else do you want? I don't know. We could be talking about our week two matchup
Starting point is 01:11:03 against Colorado, like look into the future versus waiting 30 minutes on Michigan, East Carolina and Tennessee and whoever they just played. And you guys arguing over hypotheticals. Clearly, I'm going with each other, yelling, yelling. Milton played a good game. 70% completion percentage.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Your interceptions. Zero interceptions. Three touchdowns, 210 yards. Two touchdowns, but. Yeah. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:11:26 well, I thought he was better than actually was. How many JJ McCarthy have one? He had three. He had three. And what happened
Starting point is 01:11:35 in the third quarter? What's it? He points against ECU. Yeah, because he got pulled. He was done for the day. And so why Michigan.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Hence why they didn't cover. How do you think Colorado's going to do this year? How do it's going to do? It's so hard to tell. It's so hard to tell because we like we talked about this morning like what Colorado did against TCU
Starting point is 01:11:53 is truly historic and the way Dion's handling it. What he's talking about that receiver they missed him on 260 yard bombs. They guy plays both ways. Yeah. He plays both ways. He played over 130 snaps. Travis Hunter. And they're like, don't get a twist. We miss him on 260 yard bombs or two deep balls that Heism is in his living room.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Ket that. And he walks away like that shit's fucking, that goes hard. And it makes you want to root for stuff like that. I just, I worry that program. The coach is fucking elite. He's showing he's elite. But that is spewing that type of confidence.
Starting point is 01:12:26 And we've seen it so many times, getting overconfident. And then this is not a shot. A lesser team comes in and spoils you because you just had a big up. Like Colorado could be on upset alert this week. They're not, I think they're going to win.
Starting point is 01:12:41 But I think it's going to be like, you say upset alert like Colorado's ranked in the fucking top team. I think Colorado, I think Colorado thinks, oh, we're going to blow Nebraska out of the water after they just lost to Minnesota. I think it's going to be a lot closer to people think. But you said you bet all your money that Colorado was going to easily cover the spread against Nebraska. Because it's minus three.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Right. Yeah, they'll cover that. So I'm saying, but like, you're saying Colorado's a lock to win. What do you, okay, you're a casual fan. You're watching Colorado versus TCU. TCU was in the playoff and Colorado donkey fucks TCU. And you did, then you turn on the game and you watch Nebraska. What? It was 45-42.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Exactly. Donkey fuck. Then you fucking put on the game, you put on Nebraska versus Minnesota, and you watch that barn burner. And you say, oh, that team that just lost in Minnesota is now playing Colorado, who scored 45 points? You're thinking as a casual fan, they're going to blow them out of the water. You're thinking that too. I just said that it's going to be a lot harder than they think.
Starting point is 01:13:39 If they go in overconfident. They're going to go and overconfident. What do you think score's going to be? Hard to say. especially since I watched zero college football this past weekend. You're taking a lot of shots. Taking a lot of shots at these teams. What's yours?
Starting point is 01:13:57 A lot of shots at the futures. Obviously, I believe that Nebraska can win this game. I think we can win close one. I think maybe 2320. Game winning field goal? Maybe, yeah, something like that. I think it will be close because Colorado has offense. I mean, Shadir.
Starting point is 01:14:29 threw for over 500 yards, set a school record. And like Taylor was saying, like, what Colorado did, what Deion and that program has done in one year is historic. Nobody thought that they would beat TCU. They come in, and Deion had, it's like almost 70 new guys on that roster. To come in and put up 40-something points on TCU is historic. Like, what he did and what they're going to do at Colorado
Starting point is 01:14:55 is going to be awesome to watch. There'll be a documentary on it one day. but beating that TCU team, as much as everybody's like, oh, they beat the number 17 team in the country, the same team that was in the college national title game last year, arguably one of the top two teams. They start off in the preseason poll at 17. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:15:17 It shows that they don't have the depth. They don't have the turnover in the program to just, you know, spin them out every year. And they lost 14, I believe, starters. And they lost their OC. And they lost their O. Yeah, they lost their O. Yeah, they lost their OC. Now, their offense was playing well, but defensively, they were 91st in the
Starting point is 01:15:34 country last year in scoring defense. They have one, two guys retained from that defense. And it shows, obviously, like they were a wet napkin. Colorado, they're just throwing bomb for bomb going after each other. Colorado doesn't have defense. They don't have the guys in the trenches. I think their offensive line struggles with stunts and protection. Now, Sanders is a dog. He's good. I think we need to do whatever we can to take away his first reason to get him into his progression. to see if we can rattle them. But we do got to, I'm excited to see our defense play against that offense.
Starting point is 01:16:05 And Travis Hunter, like, they got three cats. He did distribute the ball around well. But they're three playmakers, Sanders, Edwards, and Hunter. It's like you got to find a way to. Yeah. Or your receivers with over 100 yards. I know. He really did.
Starting point is 01:16:20 So they played well. But again, against the TCU defense that, it's like how objectively that win. I get the historic stuff. But if you remove that and just look at the game, it's like how good is that offense going to be? And I think it'll be fun. It'll be fun to watch Nebraska play at Colorado against Colorado
Starting point is 01:16:37 because no one believes that everybody thinks the same old story. Nebraska is going to get blown out. The love of God, I hope not. But seeing the good from Nebraska, if they can just build on that stuff, block out the noise, and focus on, like, playing well themselves. Question about... There's going to be a lot.
Starting point is 01:16:54 Nebraska got blown out. I'm not sure. That's what sucks, man. It's like, close. 25, one score loss is now 26 in the last five years, five, six years now, which is hard. It's like you just need these boys to win. They're close.
Starting point is 01:17:07 They're close. They're close. But you go in, you run the ball. You run the rock again. I don't think Colorado doesn't have defense. You run the ball. You control the clock a little bit more. You protect the football.
Starting point is 01:17:17 I think that they can beat Colorado. And there's going to be a shitload of red in that stadium. I didn't know that before we had started this entire conversation. I didn't know that Nebraska had three turnovers or four turnovers. Four turnover. Four, yeah. And in crucial times. And Minnesota only scored 13 points.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Sounds like Blackshirts are... They were playing well. They were going to be given out this year. They were... I forget what their yards per carry were, what Minnesota was. But they played good defense, man. They challenged the receivers. Yeah, he'll go back to that.
Starting point is 01:17:45 Brown undercut somebody in man-to-man coverage and pick somebody off in the corner. Like, they played well. And, bro, what was the score right before halftime? 3-3? 10-3? Yeah. Yeah. 10-7.
Starting point is 01:17:58 Right before half, bro, on the go line, false start trying to get a, trying to hurry up on the ball, run a quarterback sneak, getting the end zone. Yeah, fall start. They got to go back five. They got to go back five yards. And then Sims throws a ball.
Starting point is 01:18:11 A little underthrown, but the corner made a hell of a play, fell off of his coverage and picked it off in the end zone. So you get no points going on half. They get the ball at half time. They got three right there. So if you get any kind of points, yeah,
Starting point is 01:18:22 you're playing up with momentum going in to coming out of half time. He just could have pulled that out because it makes this week much more enticing for things like college game day. I know, I know. But also since, again, if you don't watch the game and you just see the Nebraska lost to Minnesota, yada yada, you do think this is a blowout, but there are moments like...
Starting point is 01:18:38 You know that it's a blow it's 1310. And you see, you obviously see the one highlight. I'm saying Colorado's going to blow Nebraska out just because... Well, that's what I was arguing about before when it was kind of like a get mad at Taylor session is you're fucking looking at it and you think as a casual fan, you're going to watch him, like, oh, Colorado's going to blow out Nebraska,
Starting point is 01:18:53 which I don't think it's going to be the case. I got you. I mean, we weren't doing the hate on Taylor's says. No, no, no, that's fine. When you're saying all the stuff and kind of putting your foot in your mouth a little bit, it's like we got to go back and check some. Because reality is, like I've said multiple times, I don't watch any college football.
Starting point is 01:19:06 I'm kind of just saying shit. I know, I know. You know, but one one team that never puts their put in their mouth is Bojangles. Dude, Bo Jengles now is more family meals options for your next tailgator gathering so you can focus on fun and leave the food to Bo Jengals. Each big Bo Box comes ready to serve with 8, 12, or 20 pieces of hand-breded, boldly seasoned chicken southern fixings scratch made buttermilk, dude. They also have a 25-piece Supremes Party Box, which is now available exclusively with
Starting point is 01:19:37 Bojangles app, complete with 25-piece chickens, Supremes, two family fixings, five scratch-made butter biscuits, buttermilk biscuits, and five sauces packaged in a convenient Beau, Bo's Party Box. I'll be honest with you, mouth is watering. right now. That's okay. Mouth is absolutely watering. Because we kick it off this fucking weekend at South Carolina. And it's gonna be elite.
Starting point is 01:20:00 Bojangles is traveling with the boys. So the boys will be out there will be in some nice, some nice apparel, some Bojangles apparel, handing out boxes, spreading the good news of Bojangles and eating some buttery biscuits. Garrett, what's the thing you always talk about anytime Bojangles is brought up,

God, I don't sleep on the Cajun Filet Biscuit combo. And you can get on top of all this by downloading the app and getting that free Cajun Filet biscuit with the promo code BUSS-I-N. It is Bo-Time. It's Bo-Time. Also, Pup Punk plays at Bojangles on campus.

For South Carolina students, there will also be shuttles from campus to Bojangles running for three hours. So if you're worried about how to get there because it's a little farther from where you might be on a Friday night
Starting point is 01:20:57 There's going to be transportation It's going to be a good time We're all going to be there Party at Bojangles 8 p.m. Friday night concert We're going to get tore up Let Bojangles handle the food. We'll handle the rest.
Starting point is 01:21:09 Yeah, ooh, I like that. It's going to be a fantastic time. Should we dive into? Wait, hold on. Do we done with college football? Jack, there's any last thoughts you want to bring up about Tennessee? Anything you got about Michigan?
Starting point is 01:21:20 No, I've said my piece. We're going to win the next championship this year. Yeah. There you go. I'm good. Well, I do have one last thing on the college football landmark, and he squeaked through this whole thing. But I'm disappointed as well.
Starting point is 01:21:31 South Carolina dropping the ball against North Carolina. And I'm not saying North Carolina is a – hang on. I'm not saying North Carolina is a bad football team. They do have that Heisman candidate and Drake May. They were favored. But I understand that. But it was a bummer not to see South Carolina play. Like, I feel like there was this energy that, hey, they might come out
Starting point is 01:21:49 and show that they could be a player in the SEC. and I feel like they kind of fumbled the bag on that one. Yeah, I mean, it was hard to watch, but, you know, of course, there are excuses, always. We had a lot of injuries. Juice Wells didn't play. On, like, the first play of the game for our defense, Emmanuel and Mori got hurt, like, our best guy on defense. The O line was thin. And then, yeah, I mean, the O line, that's where we lost it.
Starting point is 01:22:18 And as bad as they played, like, we still had a chance to win in the four. quarter and kind of like how you're saying about Nebraska, the best thing about South Carolina's schedule is you have opportunities to change everybody's mind. This week we have Furman. Then we go back to back at Georgia and at Tennessee. Those will be big. I think we're going to steal one of the two. You got to steal one at and I don't think it's Tennessee. When we went three and nine a couple years ago, we beat Georgia when they were like number four in the in the country. Our three wins were Georgia, UNC who won the ACC that year. year and then like some
Starting point is 01:22:53 trap or we beat Vanderbilt and lost the Citadel. That's the thing about the SEC dude is they are always playing. The Jack's point about, I don't know what the point he was trying to make, but the schedule is just crazy. Like you guys can just, you just play
Starting point is 01:23:06 fucking teams. Easy, easy, easy, easy. That is the point. He's coming back. I know. It doesn't matter to me. No, it bugs you a little bit. That's okay.
Starting point is 01:23:16 The only bugs me is that you guys play high school teams all we get stuck with. Don't take shots in Nebraska like that. Will, for whatever reason, we'll do every can to put a chip on his shoulder by Nebraska right now. It's just, we need a few more weeks.
Starting point is 01:23:27 I thought Nebraska was awesome this week. I mean, there was obviously the issues. That's got to be even worse. You get a compliment on an L. No, I was. He understands that a program that Minnesota, like, has. Again, like last year, when I made all the excuses in the world
Starting point is 01:23:42 about the Northwestern game, this was a Northwestern team. I think afterwards, I was like, oh, Northwestern might be the greatest team in the Big Ten. We don't know yet. Time will tell. They were like the worst.
Starting point is 01:23:49 They won one game. That was the one game they won. Minnesota has a respectable program. Time will tell if they, you know, GBOT get back on track from last year. But, yeah, we lost to a program that hasn't had more than four losses since 2018. And this is a different Nebraska team. I do want to... By the way, our new merch is out.
Starting point is 01:24:09 Taylor and I were rocking our new distressed shirts. Distressed shirts. There's a few teams we have. I don't know. You guys know how the game works. The minute you guys cry for it and be loud and proud and we can show, prove the data that the fan base will buy the apparel, we will make those shirts. But until then, it's the Staples.
Starting point is 01:24:27 It's Nebraska. It's Michigan. It's Tennessee? Titans and Raiders. Titans and Raiders. So if we're not in Vol Country yet, that is one. I think we need to... Yeah, I don't know why we wouldn't be in there.
Starting point is 01:24:37 Again, it's got to be proven. Yeah, we got to earn it. We got to prove it. We're all about it. We just, we need you guys to be loud enough so we can go to Barcelona. I like, listen, we got to fucking get back. We got to make these. Yeah, these shirts do hit hard.
Starting point is 01:24:48 I like these. The distressed is the move. Because you feel like you're wearing something a little vintagey. This thing was pressed probably a week ago. Yeah. You know? Special. Very special.
Starting point is 01:24:57 Are we going to bring any stuff on our fall tours, G? We're going to bring any merch to kind of sell, give out? Bus and bowl. Bus and bowl is going to be a banger. And also, we're going to do a live show for the Buston Bowl. I don't know when those tickets are going to be on sale, but just get that thing ready. Get that thing ready. All those tier ones out there.
Starting point is 01:25:11 They might be available. We might need to find new material. I'm sure we have. Based on all this, I'm sure we'll have some fun material. We'll fly out something. So we transition to the NFL. We got a week one of the NFL season coming up. Thursday, and football.
Starting point is 01:25:25 We are back. Do we jump into our division predictions? Let's do it, dude. Pull them up. Where do we want to start? The AFC East. Let's talk about division and football. Bring that.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Well, let's bring that to the end. Okay. So go to, yeah, NFC West. This one's pretty easy, I feel like. Let's start with the NFC. Starting with the NFC West. We have the Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and the L.A. Rams.
Starting point is 01:25:51 something I do like is the countdown and saying our one word answer of who thinks is going to win and go from there. The division? Yeah. Who's going to win the division? I do like that. You want to do it? Sure, yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:06 JP, countdown from three? Three, two, one. Niners. Simple. Boys, is there anybody else who thinks any differently? The Niners are going to wipe the floor at the NFC West. Pretty simple. Yeah, I mean, anybody go back down, please?
Starting point is 01:26:24 Anybody who's going to compete? Watch out for the Seahawks. It's definitely not the Cardinals. The Seahawks, maybe, but I just, dude, I don't. I don't think, yeah, 409 escape a healthy quarterback. Yeah, it's not even, it's not going to even be close. But who's the fucking. Seattle is tough.
Starting point is 01:26:42 Gino's cooking, but dude. They got good defense. I'm not sold on Gino like that. Well, coach team. They got a really good defense. He was a phenomenal coach. Playing there was very difficult. It's loud.
Starting point is 01:26:51 You still writing Gino. I need to see a little bit more before I can really, you know, last year, yeah. He had a phenomenal year last year, absolutely. And it's like he's a re-s. Don't sleep on McVey and the Rams now. They can make noise, but I don't think this would be, I think they'll be competitive this year, but I do think it's the Niners division to lose. I do think that I do think to see I was a good football team.
Starting point is 01:27:16 Gino, give me two games. I'll tell you in two games. I'll let you know in two games how I truly feel about Gino. It's just tough to see, like, kind of the beginning part of his career and how he, he got drafted and things just won't really working out then he gets to Seattle, has a hell of a season. Like you said, he's setting records. I just don't know if I can, like, plant my flag
Starting point is 01:27:33 in the ground and be like, Gino's my guy for fucking life here in Seattle. You know what I'm saying? Pete Carroll, though, he's one of those coaches that's like, holy shit, dude. Like, you always had an opportunity to win with that guy as your head coach. Cardinals, no fucking shot. Shout out Paris Johnson, though. And Josh Dobbs.
Starting point is 01:27:49 And Josh Dobbs. Oh, it's right. He's a week one starter. Yeah. And what people don't know. Who they're playing? Who did they play in week one? Let's see. Who was the... Yeah, wow. Washington. In Washington.
Starting point is 01:28:06 In Washington? Oh, wait. Well, is that the... That's fucking time. They retire in Jersey day or no? No, it's later down the road. I'm working with the commanders right now to see, like, when I'm going to make my return.
Starting point is 01:28:17 Yeah. I knew there's a couple of dates out there about enough and anything been locked in. Yeah. To move on? We'll get out there. We'll get out there. So we're set with 49ers.
Starting point is 01:28:25 Does anybody feel any differently? No. move on all right NFC South this one's a little tougher you want to do 3 to 1 sure
Starting point is 01:28:34 right three two one falcons I kind of changed my stance on that really because I thought I thought you might go to New Orleans New Orleans
Starting point is 01:28:45 I think it's between I was saying Panthers but I think it's between the Saints and Falcons I think Ritter makes a big leap I think the way Bejohn Robinson's going to get utilized it sounds like he had a hell of a hell of a camp he is as advertised.
Starting point is 01:29:02 I think they got a good defense. And I think this will be where you got Kyle Pitts, you got Ritter, who'll make a big leap, you got Bejohn Robinson, you got some weapons around that, you know, art. I think he'll cook up some stuff based on what you saw a few years ago with the Titans when we led the league in scoring, average 30-something points a game.
Starting point is 01:29:23 Yeah. I think this would be the year to do it. You know what I mean? I do think the Saints will be tough. Yeah. I think they will be fucking tough. They got a lot of pieces. I think Carr is going to do well.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Having kind of a new start in New Orleans. They got a good defense. They always do. Cam George's still there. Demario Davis still there. Well coach, Tyron Matthews still out there. You know, they are going to be tough. They are going to be tough.
Starting point is 01:29:45 But I do think I'm going to give the edge to Atlanta. There is a little bias coming from that. But I'm root because I'm rooting for the boys. Obviously the last team I was with. But I think it's out. of Atlanta and the Saints. I'm going to want to go with Atlanta. I agree with everything you just said just to play a little bit devil's advocate
Starting point is 01:30:01 though. I think expectations need to be tempered on Beijon Robinson. He obviously had a hell of a camp. People are singing his praises talking about him being a first round pick and fantasy draft. He's still a rookie. And he could have one of those seasons like one rookie does every single year. But how often do we see the rookie that everyone's talking about in camp
Starting point is 01:30:17 unfolds as the guy at the end of the season? Now, I think Bejohn's going to be a fucking stud. And when the boys here, we do our fantasy draft on Wednesday, I'm going to be looking to snipe him up early. But it's going to be fucking hard. It's hard for me to say, like, there's so much hype,
Starting point is 01:30:33 and I hope he lives up to it. However, it's like, you got to give the guy a little bit of grace there. I think Derek Carr going to the Saints that changes scenery, all that, got some weapons. Who is the guy who only runs slants? Michael Thomas?
Starting point is 01:30:46 I mean, is he playing or not? Like, is he still in the NFL? He's playing right now. And I, I mean, you give it around 11. You give it to him. Car's going to be slinging it. the team likes to sling it. They've got the vets that you talked about.
Starting point is 01:30:58 So I think it's going to come down to those two teams. I think Tampa Bay is like the Cardinals. They're in that tier. You just, there's no shot. They're going to be good this year. They're going to be hung over from the Tom Brady area. It's done. I'm excited to see what Carolina does.
Starting point is 01:31:11 I think Carolina will be competitive. I'm room for Bryce Young. Yeah, I think Bryce Young dude, he's so little and adorable sitting there behind that massive offensive line. I hope he crushes it. I really hope he does a good job. So based on how you went through those teams,
Starting point is 01:31:22 are you New Orleans or you Atlanta? No, I'm Atlanta, but I just said, like, Devil's Advocke. In the beginning, I wanted to kind of pull a Dennis Kelly where I was like, I agree with those things. However, I want to see these sides as well because New Orleans always is a stout defense.
Starting point is 01:31:35 They play very sound defense. Bringing in Carr, a quarterback that, you know, people, is Alvin Camaro? Like, did he die? He's suspended right now, right? No, is he really? These games for what? PED?
Starting point is 01:31:51 Oh, that's right during the Pro Bowl, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's probably why there's not. a whole lot of news about him. I was like literally looking around, but I'm like, is he dead? He's at the Tennessee game as we can.
Starting point is 01:32:03 Paul Williams. Paul Williams. So yeah, I think, I think the Saints are going to be really good, but I think this is like the turning point for the Falcons. I think this is it.
Starting point is 01:32:14 Especially second year quarterback. They got Pitts, who's going to his third year, right? He's going to his third year. Yeah. Third. It's definitely not a second. I was thinking third of first.
Starting point is 01:32:25 forth. But yeah, they got studs. They got studs and they can really make it work in a division that's easily winnable. Before we move on in the next, just one word answer. Breakout a rookie player in NSU South. Is it Bejan or is it Bryce Young? I think it's Bejohn. I think, yeah. I'm going with Bejohn.
Starting point is 01:32:42 Even though I just said all those things like temporary expectations, that's going to be probably him over Bryce Young. All right. NSC North. The gray white north. This is tough, man. I don't think it is. You don't think it's tough? I think what we've seen in the last three divisions,
Starting point is 01:33:02 it's the same thing. It goes out of two teams, but a unique two teams. You ready, JP? I'm ready. Hang on. You all ready? No, I'm not ready.
Starting point is 01:33:11 I'm not ready. Good. Three. All right. It is fucking hard. Three, two, one. Vikings. I was thinking, I changed my guy.
Starting point is 01:33:30 My guy grew up at the end. You were going to go lions? I was going to go lions. I was going to go lions. at the end, I was like, you can't really take it away from Kirk. Like, his process, you watch the show quarterback, you see how fucking Dolly is. JJ, dude, he's a 99 on Madden.
Starting point is 01:33:43 Like, guy really can't be stopped. You saw when they did a joint practice against the Titans, he was letting them to fuck up. Their defense is super solid. To me, I think the Lions could definitely win this division, and I'm okay with being wrong in this situation. But Vikings just, the way they did it last year, they won a couple of big games.
Starting point is 01:34:00 They won the game, but like, Vikings are, team that are going to win the games they're supposed to win. I think they win this division. You know what I'm switching. I'm going back to the Vikings. Are you? Then let me talk about the Lions for a second, dude. I just,
Starting point is 01:34:14 O'Connell and again, the Rams coming over from LA, seeing what they did over there. Like, they're going to make a big jump. Here's why they have the hard. Right now they're deemed having the hardest schedule in the NFL. Who is? The Vikings. Yeah. Toughest schedule in the NFL.
Starting point is 01:34:28 Vikings are like the Tennessee volunteers. Yeah. Sounds like of the NFL. And, uh, But yeah, I honestly don't know why I'm pulling against them. Maybe it's the excitement surrounding the lines because I think they have a good roster. I hate, you know, I think the bears can be competitive. And I hate taking away from the backers, the boys of the Packers.
Starting point is 01:34:47 There's just too much of a question mark on the Pacer. Too much of a question mark. But I am. I'm going to switch. I'm going to go Vikings because I think O'Connell, I think another year in the system getting comfortable. Kirk, you brought up the quarterback in his process is like, man, I can't just bet against my boy like that. It's hard. I think he's got the right mental to do it.
Starting point is 01:35:00 Yeah, he's got the right mental to do it. and you could see in the process of like the show quarterback, like Kirk truly wants to be great and he's got the pieces around him to be great. Coach, another year in that system. He's dialing it all in. You saw like, literally that show quarterback just keeps ringing in my head of like how,
Starting point is 01:35:18 how much more respect I've gained for Kirk. And I just think that they're the team to beat in the NFC North. I think the Lions, bro, they got it. They've got the head coach. They've got the pieces on defense. their offense, yeah, they got players on offense, but at the same time, like, I just feel like the Vikings
Starting point is 01:35:37 are too much right now, but if the Lions win that division, it's one of those things where I'll honestly be pleasantly, like, pleasantly surprised. Like, I'll enjoy being wrong in that situation. Yeah. It's a better spot to be into. Yeah. And I think with the Packers, you're in such a question mark. Jordan Love plays well. They could be a tough. Like, you get Aaron Rogers out of that situation.
Starting point is 01:35:56 You don't think he's him to you, JP. No, no, no, I'm all. I love, I love, I want Jordan Love be good. I do, too, and there's got to be a breath of fresh air with Aaron Rogers 12 removed out of that situation, not that he's not one of the greatest of all time, but there was so much there, like there's so much history between Aaron Rogers and the Packers.
Starting point is 01:36:13 Now that it's removed and it's Jordan Love's team and you got, obviously you got everybody knows, I'm biased and love the staff there. They could make some, they could be surprising, especially if Jordan Love comes out wheeling and dealing. They'll be the team. Yeah, the reason why, like,
Starting point is 01:36:28 I want to hear why you want Jordan Love to be good, but the reason why I want Jordan Love to be good is, like, the history of the Packers. I go from Favre to Rogers, like, two Hall of Famers, and then this guy. And you see, like, kind of like the parallel history of the two, like how Fav was going out when Rogers came in. It's very similar to Rogers going out and Love Coming in. You kind of just hope it's like the same shit. That'd be so cool to me to see.
Starting point is 01:36:51 But I just don't see it. Why do you want Love to be so good? For that same reason. And I feel like while Aaron Rogers was there and when Jordan Love was there and when Jordan Love would get in, like, the fans kind of disrespected love. And, like, it was kind of like, oh, how is he not ready yet? Like, he's been behind Rogers. He's, I don't, like, I just feel like they haven't really respected him as much as, like,
Starting point is 01:37:12 he's never had an actual shot. So, always root for those guys. Mm. All right. Last division, the NFC. NFC. East. NFC. East. I got mine.
Starting point is 01:37:29 Ready? Yep. I got mine. Three, two, one. Eagles. Come on, Doug. Sam Howell, baby. Sam Howell.
Starting point is 01:37:37 He's got a lot. People are riding with them right now. I think, yeah, I think new ownership. They sold out this first game. I think there is a different energy in Washington right now. And I'm pulling for the boys. I like, who's their backfield, Gibson and Robinson? Love that one-two punch.
Starting point is 01:37:55 Eric B. enemy there, you know, coordinating that offense, calling the shots. You got a scary Terry on defense. They added Cody Barton in the middle to play with their, I'm drawing a blank on the linebacker who they drafted like the first or second round a year or two ago. But they have an insane D-line that they always bring back. Jared Allen, Payne, Chase Young, and then who is it, sweat on the other side?
Starting point is 01:38:22 Sweat. Yeah, Jonathan. What did I say? Oh, my fault. Yeah, Jonathan Allen was a stud, right? Yeah, Jared Allen was a stud. But Jonathan Allen, Payne, Chase Young, and sweat on the other side. Like, they have pieces, man.
Starting point is 01:38:34 and I think there's a new energy right now in Washington, and I want to pull for the boys. I do not want to be, put it like this. They play, they do what they can, potential-wise. I do not want to be on the wrong side of history, and I am pulling for the boys. I'm pulling for the boys in Washington. Yeah, but you're all, I feel like you're pulling up.
Starting point is 01:38:52 The odds are not in your favor in the situation. The Eagles are the best, the second best put-together team, if not the best put-together team in the whole entire NFL. True. But, Jack, can you pull up the Eagle schedule? and because I do agree with that. Eagles are going to be fucking tough. But the NFC East has to play the,
Starting point is 01:39:11 what is it, the AFC. They play the AFC East. They're playing the Bills and the Eagles are getting all that in the back half of the year, back half of the season. Like if you look at the Eagles roster, where are we at right now? They'll get that double against the Pats. Pats are dead.
Starting point is 01:39:34 Number one, they got to stay healthy. But if you look at later in the season when they're playing, you know, you got you look at Eagles, they travel, they play at the Rams. Then they travel and play the Jets. You know, Jets could be a player this year, right? Dolphins, they play the Dolphins. They play at the commanders.
Starting point is 01:39:52 They're playing the Cowboys. The Cowboys will be fucking tough this year. You got at Kansas City. Hold on. Go back to the Cowboys real quick. Why is there so much hype revolving around the Cowboys right now? They have one of the most exciting defenses in the game. Every year they have so much talent and they still can't put together.
Starting point is 01:40:06 So why will we go and bet on them now? I love the Cowboys. Every kid dreams of wearing the star on the side of their head. Their team has so much talent. Every year they can't put it together. So why in 2023 am I going to sit there and be like, okay, now the Cowboys are right? I mean, they have an aging offensive line, but they did get Martin back. They do got Tyron.
Starting point is 01:40:23 They've had Martin. Martin was holding out during camp. He got $6 million extra dollars. Good for him. He deserves that. But also like, dude, they're so good. Their talent wise, if you look at them on paper, they're probably a top five talented team in the NFL. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:38 But don't know what it is. If it's the water they're drinking down there or whatever, they just can't fucking put it together. So if I'm just being conservative about my picks, the easiest answer here is Philadelphia. And I know it's not the sexy thing because they're obviously going to be the favorite. I love the idea of the commanders, the new energy,
Starting point is 01:40:54 the defense they have, that front four, that front seven that they have. Sam Howe, big question mark, but he's got studs all around them, kind of like Brock Purdy had at 49ers when he first came in. Like, that's all exciting shit. But at the end of day, dude Jalen Hertz's quotes are fucking unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:41:10 And they're not, no, no, yeah. Around them. I'm not saying they're not going to be good. Jason Kelsey came back, and I'm sure it's like one of those. I'm coming back for one more because I really truly believe in my heart of hearts. He would have retired if they won the Super Bowl. Lane Johnson playing on a groin, torn groin, and he plays through it. Everybody, I don't know what this is either, but I've seen a lot of things.
Starting point is 01:41:28 Like, everybody's like, don't draft AJ Brown in early rounds. I don't know why the fuck that is such a thing right now. Because he's more of a home run pick, like you want to say, he's not. He's a stud every year. He's got thousands, he's got a thousand yards every year. But in a PPR league, if he's not getting around 10 receptions every game,
Starting point is 01:41:42 which he doesn't. It's more like the four to six, but he does take the top off. If he doesn't get that, it's, are you going to get all that production value for like a first? This is in the fantasy realm. He's obviously.
Starting point is 01:41:51 But also like Rable, when you listen to Brable, when you're playing and stuff like that, everyone's always saying like, um, everyone's like, hey, we got to get the ball in AJ's hands quickly. Like throw a couple of screens,
Starting point is 01:42:01 tell a couple of slants, a couple of things. And then you hit that home run ball with him. But I just, I don't understand. I feel like Philly's the front runner in the situation, and I don't see a reason to not stay with Philly in that type of situation. Yeah, I agree. Like, I think Philly's the best put together team, and it is their division to lose.
Starting point is 01:42:17 Like, I'm just like, if I'm going to have like a take that feels like last year, I mean, I don't know if it was a hot take, but everybody was picking the Packers. And I'm thinking like, hey, the Vikings could do it. That's going to be my Vikings pick. I feel like this year is I'm going to go with the commanders to win the East based on schedules and everything else. And when you were asking about the Cowboys, it's now Zeke's gone. And not that that's like, that could be a bad thing,
Starting point is 01:42:40 but also you're not doing this one-two punch with Pollard, who was like coming onto the scene. He can, he's kind of like a dual-threat guy. You pair that with Dak. You got, you know, the offensive line is aging. But you got C.D. Lamb. You got, who's a Brandon Cook, who can take the top off like. Who's literally like, you look at his resume on every team he's been on quarterback.
Starting point is 01:42:57 Always a thousand yards. Yeah. Always a thousand yards. Always a fucking stuff. They drafted that tight in in the second round, I believe. And on defense, they're like, they're a turnover machine. They have all so many pieces on defense, but if they can put it together, like, Dallas can be tough. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:11 But I'm just thinking, like, this could be the year, Washington kind of, it's going to be a competitive division. I just think Washington might squeak it out based on how tough that schedule is on the back end for the Eagles. And if you're not healthy, playing against those teams in November, December, I think it's going to be fucking, it's going to be tough. I think, I mean, a couple years ago, when you were on the Titans, we were literally talking with the NFC being the NFC least. and like they're so strong now they're so dumb it because one team we didn't really even talk about during that is the Giants they made the playoffs last year which is
Starting point is 01:43:38 which is crazy I don't think they're not even talking about them I think the Giants are that good of a team to be honest but they just find ways to win they're kind of like the Titans caught like in past years we're like you know they're not the best they just kind of find ways to win games and I don't know if they keep that up this year I don't think they're going to win the division but
Starting point is 01:43:56 be interesting to see especially with all the running back stuff and Sequan taking a deal $1 million more this franchise tag and all that. Like it's going to be fucking weird to watch these storylines unfold and all that. It's going to be cool to see. I got a piss. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:44:10 Do we got an ad? Yep. Or it's a segment one or should we hit a segment one before we do AFC? The last library. Yes. Lightbox. All right, while

Starting point is 01:45:39 A lot of nice little drama with the boys. Yeah, we're a one day. We still have the rest of the AFC in four segments. So. I know. We got to get it going.
Starting point is 01:45:49 Segments can be quick. Segments can be quick. Canada. That was fucking long winded. I love all the takes here with the Nebraska and the football talk with the boy. let's start
Starting point is 01:46:01 the boy is back I'm back I had to pay no longer I'm free you know it sounds really good right now though as in
Starting point is 01:46:09 what are we talking about starting with the AFC now we're into the AFC let's start with the AFC West let's start with the division
Starting point is 01:46:16 that everybody likes to talk about do you want to do the 321 countdown here yeah I think Chargers chiefs Broncos the silver and black Las Vegas Raiders
Starting point is 01:46:25 three two, one. Chiefs. Raiders. Yeah, I mean, buddy, I hope to God. I hope the Chiefs do not win the division.
Starting point is 01:46:39 But we're talking about who we think who thinks you know. No, I don't know if the Chargers are going to win. I think the charges are studs, but dude, it's the same thing as I was talking about betting against the Cowboys. It's like, until I'm proven wrong,
Starting point is 01:46:53 I'm going to bet against them. Until I'm proven wrong with the Chiefs, you got to bet for the Chiefs. Like it's just one of those deals They're so fucking good They won a Super Bowl last year And it's like do they have a hangover It's like well obviously not
Starting point is 01:47:03 They've been a Super Bowl like four last five years So they're just gonna keep doing it Travis Kelsey needs one more 1,000 yard season To become like the goat of thousand yards seasons Like he's got something to play for Patchman Holmes is now he's chasing Brady He's gonna keep doing patchment homes things And then the mainstream bullshit media
Starting point is 01:47:20 Keeps coming up with ways to be like The Chiefs aren't going to be as good this year Hey their wide receiver core is not this good this year Their defense gives up deep balls all the time constantly giving these chiefs the delusion to find an ability to put a chip on their shoulder. And it's like until we have the opportunity to watch them fail, we just got to keep
Starting point is 01:47:36 it's like Tom Brady, you just got to keep betting on them. I want the Raiders to win the division. It was my choice, and I was fucking God. The Raiders would be winning this division. But it's just, I think the Raiders get second. And they get second. If they do, that's a huge win for the Raiders because that's a hard fucking division.
Starting point is 01:47:55 I think the Broncos, I think any stock you can buy in them you need to sell that shit immediately. They're going to be so fucking garbage this year. They're going to be better. They're garbage, dude. They're going to be garbage. Sean Payton, I think he's a phenomenal head coach.
Starting point is 01:48:11 Russ is cooked. The Danger Witch is dead. That's not it, brother. They are not going to do it. I think, I think Sean Payton's amazing. I think the mainstream media is dialing.
Starting point is 01:48:25 in on the Chiefs losing this year. I don't think they'll win the division. Number one, I think the rain is over. Now they might get into the playoffs, but they're not going to win the division. I think this is the year where the Chief's Kingdom falls. And I believe in the Raiders. I believe in Jimmy G.
Starting point is 01:48:44 The boys got Josh Jacobs back. And you got to think right now they don't have Chris Jones in that building in Kansas City. And then without Chris Jones, number one, they're not the greatest defense anyways. But then without Chris Jones, they're abysmal on defense. They need to have Chris Jones.
Starting point is 01:48:59 But if they go into the year with not having him, like it's just going to make it that much, it's going to be that much more of a hole. And yeah, they are thinner at receiver than years past. And I do think this is the time where all the hot dogging out there by Patrick Mahomes and catches up to him. More turnovers. Why do you think that?
Starting point is 01:49:16 I just, that's what I think. It's so hard to have these numbers because I love you. I know you do. I know you do. Listen, I listen, I'm a, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I can, stand. I can stand on this. I can take care of myself out there. Look. I'm not worried about fans coming at you, but sometimes
Starting point is 01:49:30 I'm worried like how are you making decisions? Well, no, you're obviously. I feel like that decision you just made right there is a decision you're making because we're boys with the Raiders and you played for the Raiders and you want them to be successful. Not like looking at it from like a logical like look what's happened with the Chiefs in last five years
Starting point is 01:49:48 and how Patrick Mahomes says literally shouldn't zero percent. Zero percent should anything of slowing down only speeding up. That's fair. That's fair. I mean, they won the Super Bowl. That's fair. I just think like this is, this will be the time. You're doing the thing where you're...
Starting point is 01:50:01 Everybody's want to buy high. Continue to buy high. No, now the market's about to get hit. It's about to correct. And I think the Raiders are going to be there. Your confidence in the way you're sitting too. It makes it a whole lot cooler.
Starting point is 01:50:10 I get it. We're going to have to disagree. I hope you're right. I hope you are because I want the Raiders to win. Let's not forget. Last year, I only missed on two division winners. Let's not forget. I think you missed on these two.
Starting point is 01:50:23 Water. I do. I also think the charge of the first. is going to be good. It's going to be. It's going to be an exciting division. Even the Broncos, I don't think you can sleep on them. They have their healthy now receiver with Judy.
Starting point is 01:50:34 Because he got injured last year. But Russ, you know. Russ is not it. Oh, the chef had back on. Let that man get back in the kitchen. Let that man get back in the kitchen with the right coach. Russ has never been the best quarterback when he has to sit in the pocket. It's been his mobility that shows that gets him out of those things.
Starting point is 01:50:52 That really cool play had against the Cardinals back in the day where, like, Chandler Jones. He fucking made him him move and then threw it to Baldwin? But now Sean Payton's sitting next to him. Yeah, Sean Payton's next to him. Brother. The pocket passing.
Starting point is 01:51:05 Russell, he does not do well just sitting in the pocket and he's now that age you're talking about Patrick Mahomes is going to have. He's already shown that age he's not as mobile as it used to be. I think if the Broncos are good
Starting point is 01:51:17 it's because it's early and it fizzles out quickly. I'm not saying Patrick, by the way, is getting old. I'm just saying all the risks he takes out there with the way he throws a football everywhere. Last minute, make something out of nothing.
Starting point is 01:51:29 I think that's where it catches up. Similar to when you guys beat him a few years ago when the chief started off rough, honestly, because they had a lot of turnovers, everything like that. I think it's going to be that way. You know what I mean? Like a lot of those situations didn't go his way. Had a few turnovers against the Titans.
Starting point is 01:51:46 It's kind of like, oh, all these chances he does take is now, you know, it's not working out. The ball's not bouncing the way that it usually does when it favors the chiefs. I think it's now going to, bounce the other way. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying like, you know, they're over the hill and everything like that. I'm just saying all of the, all of that risk Mahomes takes trying to get out of bad situations. I think this is the year where it catches up to him.
Starting point is 01:52:09 Not that I'll stop playing that way. That's what makes him great. But I think the ball will bounce the other way. That's why I'm, that's why I have that take outside of wanting to just troll the fucking Chiefs Kingdom. Let's skip this next one. AFC South, we can't. We got to live in it. We got to lean into it. This thing is AFC South, brother. All right. Count us down. Three, two, one.
Starting point is 01:52:31 Tigers. Tennessee Titans are going to win this fucking division, dude. This is the year they fucking come back. How many years can you have the most injuries? How many years? Sell me. Sell me on the Titans. I'll say you the Titans, dude.
Starting point is 01:52:45 I'll fucking say. Give me two seconds. Okay, the reason I think the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to win this year, and listen, I'm pulling for the boys in two-tone blue. It does pay me. I know Jackson's got a smile. It hurts the boys. Listen, I love, I'm rooting for Tennessee every week, no matter what.
Starting point is 01:52:59 That's the fucking boys. But as far as having, not leading with my heart on absolutely every division, I think this is where I'm going to take the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's so wild that you've led with your heart in two different divisions, but the one, this one, you don't. I know, I know. Well, last year I didn't pick Washington. Last year I didn't pick Washington.
Starting point is 01:53:17 I picked the Eagles. I picked the Titans last year. You know what I mean? This is the one, and I think the way Jacksonville ended, I think Trevor Lawrence, like he's going to continue to be a, you know, cement himself as one of the quarterbacks in the league. And I think with that division too, man, Colts are a question mark. I don't know how Anthony Richardson is going to do.
Starting point is 01:53:35 They do have a good team, but do they have enough? There's a lot of drama with Jonathan Taylor. I think Houston, Texas, they've been in such a rebuild year. No one's even talking about them. However, I do like D'Amico Ryans. He's at the helm as a head coach. He, I think he's going to build something there. But nobody's even worried about Houston.
Starting point is 01:53:52 I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I just don't even think. It doesn't matter. Yeah, it's kind of like it doesn't matter. And then it comes down to the Titans. And, you know, to the boy, you're not there. I think they have a big question mark on that offensive line. I think their defense is going to be fucking good.
Starting point is 01:54:07 I think they're going to have to figure out ways to turn the ball over to allow the Titans to do what the Titans do. And that's win in the trenches, win with the run game. But I think there's a question mark on the old line because guys like you, Ben Jones, you guys are no longer there. And they're new. They haven't played a lot together. so that's honestly, that's why I'm giving it to Jacksonville
Starting point is 01:54:27 because I think like they're just going to build off last year and they got a lot of energy going into this year. Peterson's a coach that, no, they, has a Super Bowl, like Trevor Lawrence. I think they got it going right now. Jacksonville's got every reason. Jacksonville has every reason to believe that they are going to be the winners
Starting point is 01:54:43 of the AFC South. Here's where I think Tennessee Titans take it. I think DeAndre Hopkins going to the Tennessee Titans is not great, is fantastic because, not because DeAndre Hopkins is going to be the greatest wide receiver of all time, but he's making that core wide receiver group, Kyle Phillips, obviously he's done with an injury. I think it's an MCL he has going on right now. That's fixable.
Starting point is 01:55:04 He's going to be all right, whether it's the week one or later. I think Traylon Burks, the LCL injury, that's not a big deal. Those guys are going to come back. They're going to do well. That makes it a lot of a big year, I think. Yeah, I think Traylon, I think that's the biggest reason why DeAndre is there is to help Traylon not shoulder the burden of being white. receiver one right now. That's going to be a massive deal.
Starting point is 01:55:25 Our defense is so fucking good. They can play with anybody. They can hold these guys with Calvin Ridley and Trevor Lawrence coming in. Trevor Lawrence is coming to his own. He's a fantastic quarterback. They're a good football team. They're a good ball club. But they were a good fucking ball club in 2016 when they were Saxonville. Look what happened.
Starting point is 01:55:40 They got swept by us twice. Okay? I'm saying obviously you're going to look at this and be like Jacksonville Jaguars are going to win the AFC South. I think the Tennessee Titans have the better head coach. I think the Tennessee Titans do have question marks in the offensive line, but you have one of the greatest running backs of all time
Starting point is 01:55:56 in the backfield who still has it and they're going to give them the ball enough time to do it. I think that Spears kid that they brought from Tulane is a incredible change of pace back. You're going to be able to put them out in the slot. You're going to be able to take advantage of
Starting point is 01:56:12 defenses that want to stay in base. You're going to take advantage of those types of situations. Not to mention a new OC. A new OC. I think Tim Kelly is a fucking stud. No disrespect. Todd, I think he's a great guy. He just wasn't the man for the job. Tim Kelly is a dude that is a great fucking point.
Starting point is 01:56:30 Because he watches, he watches ball so much he knows the game. He was a main reason why Deshaun Watson was so successful. When they're at Houston, implementing RPO's. I think you're going to see a lot more RPO's. And the Tentaians going into this season. It's going to be difficult. And I might be leading with my heart a little bit in this one. I just came to Will on, but I,
Starting point is 01:56:52 I do believe the Titans, if they can stay healthy, which recent history shows they cannot. But how many years can you be that unhealthy, right? Cut the injuries down in half. Cut the guys. You get injured. Yeah. Cut the guys that get injured.
Starting point is 01:57:05 Get him the fuck out of there. And I think the Titans, I think the Titans win the AST South. I think they have absolutely have a shot to win it. Those are, yeah. I mean, I hope they fucking. I hope they win the whole fucking thing. Because you're right, man.
Starting point is 01:57:18 Like, Harold's healthy again. Like, they're going to have a squad. I just think they might be battles for 9 to 10 wins, and I think Jacksonville might just edge them out with a win. That's very possible. What happens? Torit Titans could still be an extra team in the playoffs. And I also like they brought an old boy from San Fran that linebacker.
Starting point is 01:57:35 Yeah, Alshear. He's a stud. He's just stud, man. Yes. That's yes. I wanted to shout out the boy Jack Gibbons, man. Shout out the white linebacker, dude. Dude, last year Jack Gibbons was cut.
Starting point is 01:57:47 Cut. Not even retained on breakfast twice. Exactly, bro. They literally said, hey, we don't have a place for you on practice squad. We do not have a place for you to be on our practice squad, Jack. You're out. 16-man practice squad. Chance Campbell, six-round draft from Ole Miss.
Starting point is 01:58:01 He tears his ACL, I think it was. And because of that, they had to bring Jack back. Jack Gibbons, who they call Dr. Gibby, play at the University of Minnesota, is a dude that knows he's going to get everybody in the same page. He's going to have the green dot. He is essentially Wilcompton. Jack Gibbons is the second coming of Will. Compton. He really fires me up. I'm so happy for him. He literally could be. It's fucking
Starting point is 01:58:25 awesome to see. Awesome to see. And him with, with Al Al Shahir? Yeah, he's stud. I heard he's bawled the fuck out. When Fred or Greenlaw would go down last year, he'd come in, like, he's a fucking good player. And there's a lot of good reviews coming out of him. I think he is as advertised. He's just now getting a shot as a starter in the league. I'm fired up for him. And then you got Dr. Gibby. Like, it truly fires me up. So I'm a little message. I was like, dude, I'm so happy for you fuck him all. Keep proving them all wrong. And I hope he's He does. Because he came in last year in some critical moments when guys would go down and he's out
Starting point is 01:58:57 there being a little tackling machine, dude. Also, dude, Christian Fulton, he's coming. He had a couple of injuries last year. He's in a contract year. This year. This year. Hick, I think this is year four, right? Bired.
Starting point is 01:59:07 Biker was hurt last year. They tried to fuck Bired this year. Now he's got that delusional chip on his shoulder now. Harold's back. I'm going to fuck him all. Harold, you know Harold wants. Harold wants sacks. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:17 He wants fucking sacks. That's all he fucking wants. He's going to get to eat because. He's going to get to eat. Jeff Simmons. is going to get double-teamed every fucking time. And Jeff Simmons, do you say all the things you want about Jeff Simmons in the locker room? But who says things?
Starting point is 01:59:29 Don't worry about that. Jeff Simmons is one of those dudes, dude. You pay him money, he's still going to work fucking hard. He's still going to get after it. The dude has it. He's, you know. And he'll watch the most underrated defensive lineman, probably in the league. Wasn't Jeff the number two detackle on the NFL's top 100 only behind Aaron Donald?
Starting point is 01:59:45 I think so. I mean, Jeff's, he's him. Yeah. He really is. They're going to have a squad. Yeah. They got to stay healthy and take care of the football. And just play that boring ass, don't get any ratings, ugly win football.
Starting point is 02:00:03 And you do that. Manage the game, brother. The perfect speeches for Coach Braves. The perfect... We can't just show up. We can't just show up. We're not good enough. They're not good enough just to show up.
Starting point is 02:00:14 But they're a better coach team. They're a better fundamental team. And I'm not... You know, man, they got to move the line. line of scrimmage. Yeah, that's the biggest question mark. I'm going to get DeHen. Now, granted, he's obviously proving the older model wrong, right, for the older
Starting point is 02:00:28 running back. He's somebody who gets better with age and stuff like that. He's like, that's what he told us. He's like, he's the one player in the second contract that continue to have like, what, a 2000 year out season or equal or more value. Yeah, equal or more value. That is right. But for DeHen to get rolling, you got to be able to move the line of scrimmage a little bit.
Starting point is 02:00:46 Yeah, yeah, that's where, that's the question mark. If you have Derek trying to make cuts in the backfield, you're going to get fucked. You have to be able to play sound ball. But I think that's easier if you start running more gap scheme type stuff, more, you know, deuses and trays and back blocks and hinges and a pulling guard than doing outside zone. Because outside zone can get really fucking hairy when you're sprinting on landmarks. When you sprint on landmarks, whiffs happen a lot more often. Backside cutoffs are a lot more difficult.
Starting point is 02:01:15 You need that hit mobility to kind of like move and bend. and did their shoulders. I don't know how these guys are. Andre Dillard. I don't know his mobility and how he is, how he's able to move. But into a pinch, Derek's shown he can be successful in the inside zones on the GAV scheme type plays. And those are more of your full proof. You have a shaky offensive line. You can do that. And you can also run a shitload of RPO out of GAAP scheme and zone reeds. And at an inside zone. You can run a shitload out of that. You can throw it out to the slot. You can run screens off of it. You can have that slant going over the middle. You can
Starting point is 02:01:48 run it off that backside linebacker. You can run it off the N-man Atlanta scrimmage. Like, there's a lot of things you can do to kind of shore up a questionable offensive line. So they have the coaches to do that, too. Tim, Tim has that brain. Because if you look at Houston, the track record of the Houston Texans when Deshawn Watson was there, the only good office alignment they really had was Lambert Tunsell. And Lamontz was really start coming along until his third or fourth year. I think at that time, maybe Tim was on his way out or whatever. That's when things were really starting to happen with Deshaun leaving and all this stuff, a lot of massage therapy things started coming out.
Starting point is 02:02:17 that's but you you can see with a inexperienced offensive line Deshaun had time roll out move the pocket type stuff that you're going to be able to do with DeAndre Hopkins and the Traylon Burks and a Kyle Phillips who can route cats up on one-on-one situations and not expose an inexperienced office line not saying they're bad just saying they're an inexperienced offensive line they've got it I've literally not only I think I've successfully talked to myself
Starting point is 02:02:47 into truly believing my pick. I believe myself. You know what? Titans are going to win the Super Bowl. That proper while is hitting Taylor. Yeah. Oh, fuck. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 02:02:57 Get another one of them boys. Up to the AFC North, you got the Steelers, Browns, Ravens, and Bengals. God, dude, I'm fucking love. Dude, we're back. We are back. I mean, Steelers, Browns, Ravens,
Starting point is 02:03:10 Bengals, you can almost, you can almost like take your pick, right? I think they're all going to be solid. I think every team in the NFL is great this year. No. Dude, it is the best about the beginning of the season. How fucking great an affiliate is. It doesn't matter who you're a fan of or what the media said.
Starting point is 02:03:25 It's like week one, all the opportunity. All the thoughts. Oh, and no, what's going to fucking happen? God damn, this is so exciting. You count it down. You tell us what's going to happen. I'll tell you. Hold on.
Starting point is 02:03:35 Two. One. Bengals. It's not that hard, brother. I don't think so either. Joe Burroughs. He's elite. He's still on his rookie deal.
Starting point is 02:03:43 He's still on his rookie deal. Ravens, Steelers, Browns. you're going bangles, Ravens, Steelers, Browns. In that order. I know what you're thinking, too. You're thinking about switching up Browns and Steelers, if anything, right?
Starting point is 02:03:54 If anything. Yeah. I think Browns could be surprising. But until anything happens, it's like one of those things. Chugs are you out there? I do think that they could be surprising. You never know.
Starting point is 02:04:06 Steelers. This has been the theme of this entire conversation. Prove me wrong. And then I'll say I'm wrong and bet on you next year. Like, the Browns have showed me absolutely nothing for me to have anything to believe in. they have a fucking studded Miles Garrett
Starting point is 02:04:17 after that you're right though it's where people go to die it's where people go to die but people said that about the bills five years ago look at them now so they had they it's not Browns aren't dead forever they're just dead right now Bengals people have said that about the Browns
Starting point is 02:04:29 forever and that's been the case Joe Thomas didn't die there I mean Joe Thomas got hot he came out of there he came out of the fire like a Phoenix yeah but what was this the last record that they had there I don't think he ever had a winning season that's all saying he still like he had his career
Starting point is 02:04:43 and died he was born there and died there. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good thing about dying. Being born in a bad franchise, like, you're just like, this is the norm. Yeah. I think the Steelers, though, are, if you're going to pick a sneaky, like, could possibly win it game here. It's in the N.S.C. North, it's the
Starting point is 02:04:59 Steelers, dude. Tomlin is one of the best coaches in the fucking NFL. Every year he's fucking good. I'm trying to brain fraud, but who's the quarterback? Pick it? Yeah. George Pickens. And then who's the receiver? Quarterback is. Dude, I get that. Yeah, so I'm glad you said that, gee, because I get really confused, too, on the
Starting point is 02:05:15 quarterback wide receiver. Their last names are so similar. Pick it. I'm fired up to see him and yeah, Tomlin, man. But love Jersey Jerry, dude. The Steelers don't have it this year. They're gonna be close, but it's not gonna happen. The Ravens, I think, are
Starting point is 02:05:31 battle. Yeah, because I like the Ravens. I like what they piece of added. Lamar's back. I think the Ravens are more shirt than trousers, brother. Yeah. They fucking look great, but they don't got no balls on them. They did, like Lamar is. Roquan Smith. You got players on defense, man. Yeah, but dude.
Starting point is 02:05:49 Got some cats, man. You got some cats. OBJ? Come on now. Dude, I love OBJ. Same draft class. OBJ. He hasn't played football in the year.
Starting point is 02:05:58 There's only been one football player I've ever seen to get a year off and be better, and that's Trent Williams. So jury's out, dude, it's just like Gino Smith. I'm going to have to see a couple games. Give me two games.
Starting point is 02:06:08 Give me two games on O'DL. He doesn't have to be the star. I'll tell you exactly how I feel. You don't have to be wide receiver one. That's their, what, draft pick, right? Yeah, Zay Flores This year? Yeah, man.
Starting point is 02:06:20 Ashah Bateman, University of Minnesota guy. They got some players. Yeah, I'm excited, but you're right. Pittsburgh could be sneaky. Joe Burrow, those who I'm where I'm putting my money.
Starting point is 02:06:31 You got to put your money on Joe Burrow. I'll put my money on Joe Burrow to win that division. This one's the hardest one. This is the last one, correct? This is where... Fuck me. Should we count it down?
Starting point is 02:06:42 Go pee. Go pee. Go pee. brother? What? I think we still got to do all our segments, right? We're in a two-hour podcast
Starting point is 02:06:55 right now. All right. It's our show. Do you know what we want? No fucking question. Yeah, I got what I'm going to do. I know who I definitely don't got. Patriots?
Starting point is 02:07:04 Yeah. Count it down, JP. Three, two, one. Bills. And that pisses me off that we both picked the bills. I know.
Starting point is 02:07:15 I thought you were going to go. I know. I thought you might go. I wanted so badly I picked the Jets. Jets. Aaron Rogers is he's winning like Kirk Cousins won in quarterback dude. He's becoming more likable because of the show. Jack, what's the show we watched in Las Vegas?
Starting point is 02:07:28 Oh, Hard Knox. First episode I ever watched my life, Jack and I were like too high little bunnies sitting on the sketch together. I'll go Jets. I like that. I need that. Yeah. You go Bills, I'll go Jets. All right. Well, I'm the one making the argument. No, okay, that's fine. I want to pick the Jets so badly.
Starting point is 02:07:43 But I just don't want to fall into the trap of like shiny new toy. At the end of the day, Roger, he's a fucking studs. Still an agent, he's an agent quarterback, but he's... I think he's going to light it up, man. God, I think so, too, and Wilson's so fucking good. Wilson. CJ
Starting point is 02:07:58 Oh, the Bills? Stefan Diggs. What about Wilson? Their receiver? Josh Allen is his own his own fucking weapon. Wilson's looking at a Taye Adams year. As a... Oh, it's the second year. He was rookie the year last year. Yeah, he could be looking at a sophomore slump, too. Yeah, but I'm talking about you're talking about A-Rod dealing him the ball.
Starting point is 02:08:17 Oh, you ain't lying. And they got... You know there... CJ Ozu, Ozuma. You know, he's going to be the cat that's like, you know, obviously the page that Aaron was on with, hey. Cigarette. He's up there somewhere. This might be a run right here, but I'm going to smoke one out to you.
Starting point is 02:08:34 And the head coach, Rob Sala, yeah? He, dog, he's always, everybody, all the players that have spoken about him, it's always high, man. They love him. He's a defensive-minded guy. What a complexion, too, by the way. You let you, no doubt. Gorgeous, insane.
Starting point is 02:08:50 Gorgeous, man. man. Bald-head guy, too. You don't get that a lot. You don't always say gorgeous man when bald heads are involved, but he's got a phenomenally shape. Somebody who look at in trust.
Starting point is 02:08:58 You know what I mean? Yeah. Lead the way. Go ahead, brother. But you let A-Rod and them handle the offense? Like, I think the boys will be fucking good. And Saul's Gardner? Who's the O.C.?
Starting point is 02:09:10 Who's the OC that was the head coach of Nathaniel Hackett? Catching some fucking strays from Sean Payton and then all of a sudden... Some nice shirt. That's some good drama. I love that. Some good drama. But it's like he's got a chip on. a shoulder now too. Yeah. Dude, fuck it. I'm going Jets as well. I'm going Jets as well.
Starting point is 02:09:26 And I hated that I said it out loud actually. I actually feel fucked up about it. But dude, the bills are good. But like, you hear the turmoil about Diggs and he's not happy. And then Josh Allen comes on and acts like it's nothing. Josh Allen's phenomenal. He's a, he's a generational talent. Holy fuck is he good. Check milk, brother. What's that? Check milk on the daily, cuss. But dude, I don't think Rogers had this much talent around him. Ever. They got weapons. Quentin Williams on defense,
Starting point is 02:09:55 they got, they got fucking cats. Dude, and who, Doc? Linebackers set. Who's the, who's the defensive end that went to,
Starting point is 02:10:03 was at the Bengals, and he got signed to Jets and he tore his Achilles last year before the season. That's such a hard Google for you, Jack. I'm so sorry, but like, Jets torn ACL.
Starting point is 02:10:15 You got to see Juzama? The boy see Juzama. Lawson. Carl Lawson. Dude, Carl Lawson is guaranteed sneaky comeback
Starting point is 02:10:26 player of the year. Jesus fucking Christ. Brother, he is so fucking deadly with his single arm. Dude, he's like short too.
Starting point is 02:10:35 He's like, I don't think he's even six foot. I really, Doc, he's like a Elvis Dumerville type. We played him when he was in the Bengals. It was like a second year
Starting point is 02:10:43 and I was watching him film. I was like, yo, why is this little dude pushing dudes back? He has the greatest inside, long arm that just puts people and fucking look at him. You get a boy
Starting point is 02:10:54 Carl on the defensive line, you know you're about to be in trouble. Yeah. Yeah. Gotta be moving, dude. Gotta watch that ass, bro. Like we're in black forces. You see somebody with them on? You know, they're swinging. Yeah, but dude, I'm saying this guy, we all knows, you know, when a comeback player of the year, this year, there's no question Um, um,
Starting point is 02:11:12 Demar Hamlin is going to win it. No fucking question about that. Like, all he has to do is step on the field and he's won it. Kind of like Alex Smith a few years ago, but. Hey, but also the bills. They've lost in the big games, right? But we're still talking about Josh Allen, Diggs. They got, they're still going to be the fucking bills. I think they're going to be a great team.
Starting point is 02:11:33 They were great all the way up until that DeMarre Hamlin situation last year. I'm talking like the premier team in the league. They're putting up points on absolutely everybody. There's still that team. It's just they have a taste in their mouth because they've lost in the playoffs year after year. There's a stigma about that. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:49 It's like, when are they going to get over the hump? I saw somebody talking about it. I hate that I'm not remembering, but somebody's like, well, at least they're on the hill. When are they going to get over the hill? A lot of people are trying to climb the hill. But they've never really fell off the hill. It's just making that extra jump to win the big game,
Starting point is 02:12:05 that AFC championship game, that division around, whatever the case may be. But the bills are fucking good. If they don't have that DeMarne Hamlin situation, granted, the Bengals came out swinging on them. I do think they lose the game. However, there's not all that drama surrounding them going into December football.
Starting point is 02:12:21 I see, I disagree with that statement. I feel like the DeMar Hamlin thing, if anything, is like that storyline, like, do it for DeMar. I know, I'm just... And it's like, and it wasn't like somebody got a D-A-W-I. The Bulls are the Jop. Don't sleep with the Dolphins.
Starting point is 02:12:37 It's a good fucking division. It's a good fucking division, dude. The Dolphins, Tua, he's in a year learning how to fall and shit like that. Like, he's got... He's got to go through a whole... What's that? right there? Yeah. That was a little weird.
Starting point is 02:12:51 But he's got to go through like all that learning how to fall shit. Jalen Waddle fucking Tyree killed. They've got fucking studs. They got a good defense too. That noisy kid who's up in the middle. What's that kid's name? Who into Clemson? Oh, Christian Wilkins. We also didn't even talk about Dalvin Cook on the Jets.
Starting point is 02:13:07 Right? I didn't even, I actually didn't even think about that. Rees Hall, too, could be nasty. Bro, like, I am firmly cemented on Jets now. I feel bad though, because legit like the bills really don't deserve that kind of disrespect.
Starting point is 02:13:22 And that's what's hard. They're just in that division now. That's kind of like, they're low key like the AFC West. Yeah. God damn. Are there any, should we do an ad before we do tier talk?
Starting point is 02:13:34 We've done all the ads. They're just sponsored. These are just the ads that run with them. Let's, let's pivot. Let's go back to college football with Jake. Are we cool? Yeah, we're cool.
Starting point is 02:13:43 All right, good. Of course. Yeah, because I do, I can see where tactically coming back after being gone for a month seeing you and then spouting off that quickly, that could have been I can see where I navigate
Starting point is 02:13:54 that incorrect. We're good for sure. All right. Dude, I'm telling you in the next three years, it's going to be no longer, there's going to be no NCAA, and it's going to be the Big Ten, it's going to be the SEC, and everybody else is going to be just kind of roaming their earth like without a home.
Starting point is 02:14:09 I actually saw a guy. The Big 12 is leaving. Isn't Texas going to SEC? Yeah, Texas is going, like, the Big 12 is Colorado's going to Power 5 though and explained it I watched this video last night It was like five minutes I'll send it to you all
Starting point is 02:14:22 It's a pretty good idea on how to Get the E&CA back on track Back on track Yeah To keep how Instead of just going to two like mega conferences It keeps the power five And it's like
Starting point is 02:14:36 I'll just add it to you Because the guy goes on forever Yeah send it to me But I really don't think it's a bad idea To go to SEC and Bay 10 Like the AFC and NFC and NFC and then knocking those divisions like Bay 10 North, Bay 10 South, Bay 10 East, Bay 10 West, and having your divisions there and kind of scheduling like the NFL.
Starting point is 02:14:54 So I think what's tough is the number one hurdle they're facing is there's so many other sports than just football. So are you really going to pay for your men's soccer team to go travel five times a year to across the country to go play? Are you going to fly your whole entire track team out a bunch of times? that's like the logistics I got to get through with all the other sports. That's a good point that I really didn't even think about it all. But I know this is like an elitist type of vibe here,
Starting point is 02:15:25 but football is kind of king in college sports landscape, right? For sure, but only like 25, now with NIL is different, but before only like 25 or 23 athletic departments are profitable. Yeah, before the NIL stuff, it was like five. No, no, no, no. Before the NIL, it was like in the, that 20 to 25 range. Oh, I thought it was like five. Like Texas was one, Ohio State was one, Michigan was one, Alabama was one, and like there was like one other. Yeah. But you did the
Starting point is 02:15:54 whiskey one? No, I didn't do the whiskey one. Your talk. Most exciting teams out of week one. We are about to dive into our tier talk segment. The tier talk segment this week is brought to you by Whistlepig whiskey. Summer Fridays are now a thing of the past and it is now considered Friday Rye Day. And with Whistlepig whiskey, you got plenty of options. You got three bad boys right here. You got their age six-year rye, which is their most popular. Listen, Whistlepig whiskey is known for their rye whiskey. And out in the mountains of Vermont, this is what they make the best. Taylor, as you see, is holding a bourbon, their first ever bourbon that they're rolling out with Bustin with the boys. We came out, we tasted the sweet nectar, we handpicked this bourbon, and Whistlepig has trusted
Starting point is 02:16:36 us to roll out their bourbon. You can grab either of these bottles at your local retailer that sells whistle pig whiskey or online.

Grab yourself a bottle of whistle pig whiskey and kiss your workday goodbye this summer and this fall with Friday, Riday Whiskey. Tear talk. Our tier talk this week is going to be most exciting college football teams coming out of week one. Taylor, you go ahead.
Starting point is 02:17:22 Fuck. Hey, Taylor, the one who didn't watch them, you go. Don't even give them a minute. All right, let's take a moment, boys. I just got to scroll the... Do you know yours, JP? How do you want us to do it? You want us to do one collective back to the bus?
Starting point is 02:17:38 Sure, yeah. All right. My tier talk, it's going to be short and sweet boys. Obviously, we had the conversation I wasn't able to watch college football this past weekend because Canada doesn't believe in college football my tier 3 is you can go to FSU versus LSU obviously LSU
Starting point is 02:17:53 having the hype they did being down there for the spring game you really drink to Kool-A you see that you think they're going to be one of those teams that's like oh this is one of the teams to beat this year however they very well still could be that but FSU going and dominating the way they did there I saw one
Starting point is 02:18:10 clip of the running back hitting a play to the right side and then a DB coming down you think of LSU as like a hard hitting defense and it just was fucking embarrassing to see that. What's up? That guy was on South Carolina's team last year. Oh. I saw your face and I was like,
Starting point is 02:18:24 I thought I fucked up and said something wrong. So that's my tier three. My tier two is going to go to Oregon because that duck, mostly Oregon Duck's mascot and all the gains he's receiving in 20203. To have that many push-ups in a day is just ridiculous. What about a hunter?
Starting point is 02:18:43 Got to get him on push-up Tuesday. Yeah, I was going to say. You got to get him on Pushup Tuesday, J.P. So that is, I love that. And then obviously what all of the mainstream media is going to be talking about for the rest of the week until Saturday comes when Nebraska takes on the Colorado buffs is Colorado. I mean, they deserved it. There was a team in the top 25 that they played against after Colorado hasn't won one game.
Starting point is 02:19:03 They won one game last year. They played T.C. So you see all of the alumni coming out of fucking the woodworks, dude. Daniel Munier, David Bakhtiari, Brandon Shob. Everybody's like all of a sudden a proud Buffalo guy or a proud Colorado Buffalo guy. or a Colorado Buffalo guy and that's just fucking hilarious to me. But
Starting point is 02:19:17 Colorado is the most hype school coming out. Now that's your one. They took a page out of the Luwambu. Well, they weren't critical like I was. I was critical from an educational standpoint. You know, he's different. Very different.
Starting point is 02:19:35 See, Lou? Start the one word, boys. Oh, yeah. Exciting. Solid. Exilarating. Awesome. Cool.
Starting point is 02:19:54 A lot of positivity. Nice. My tier three is going to go to Notre Dame. I'm picking Notre Dame. Now, look, I know they haven't beat. They beat Navy and they beat Tennessee State. However, I feel like there's this error, right, of them outscoring their opponents, what, 98 to 6 in the first two games?
Starting point is 02:20:20 Notre Dame last year, and I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, dropping the ball. Head coach, head coach, head coach. Marcus Freeman. Him coming with all the expectation he had in year one. And playing like close games against teams that shouldn't have close games, right? It's fun to see Notre Dame come out and absolutely treat bad teams like bad teams. I think they got something going with that OC. That's a new guy.
Starting point is 02:20:46 I know, but who is it? Yeah, but you got to imagine there's a lot of similarities. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But either way, either way. I'm fired up for Notre Dame. I hope they are a team this year for real because they always have like those fun schedules where they're playing ranked team.
Starting point is 02:21:02 I hope they beat Ohio State. I know like it seems like one of those years. Again, they're treating bad teams like bad teams. Hopefully all them big games, like they mean a lot more because they're not just because they're playing these close games against teams that shouldn't be close games, but because it seems like a Notre Dame team that we want to see out there on Saturdays.
Starting point is 02:21:19 My tier two is going to go to this was tough out of these two teams. I'm going to go with USC. Caleb Williams, 250 yards in the first quarter. In the first quarter. Is that real? Yeah, that's real.
Starting point is 02:21:37 That's real. 250 yards. And the throws these dog, I mean, talk about Mahomes. Like, he's out there making fucking plays. He's out there. He's in all the news. Yeah, like, I hope USC is, you know,
Starting point is 02:21:50 not back like they were last year, but drop at the end of the year. in the pack 12th title but all the way fucking back like i hope they put up games like that all year long i mean they basically benched them in the second half yeah they won like 60 something the three i believe but i'm going to go with USC because them highlights by Caleb williams 250 yards in one quarter tier two USC my tier one is going to go to florida state i think lSU obviously for good reason had a lot of hype coming into this year the number what were they number two five LSU was five?
Starting point is 02:22:23 Yeah. LSU, top five team. They were rated five, but there's a lot of promise going in with Brian Kelly's second year and some of the growth they have because they had like a younger team last year. They kind of came on late in the year
Starting point is 02:22:36 to where you thought LSU was going to be them and a Florida state coming to Death Valley and win like that. That quarterback last name, Travis, yeah? Did I mess something up, JP? The game was that neutral site. I hate that. I'm always like at whatever the team is, at Orlando.
Starting point is 02:22:54 But Travis coming in and ball in, like putting on a show, I think Florida State's a fucking tough team. Maybe you got the old Seminoles back, baby. Yeah, they run the football well. They're physical. They're fun to watch. But that's my tier one, Florida State, tier two, USC, tier three, Notre Dame. Strong football.
Starting point is 02:23:26 Dominant. Solid. Informative. You want it? Mitch can do it Mitch. Yeah, like, I know they're beating nobody's, but it's fun to see them, like,
Starting point is 02:23:37 you know, treat them like nobody's like, okay, this is going to be a team that's trying to, like, run through everybody. You know what I mean? Fires you up versus, like, Ohio State, who plays against Indiana? One by 20. And, yeah, you win by 20 fucking points. Like, that was insane.
Starting point is 02:23:52 No, I hear you. I would love to win by 20 points. Our honorable mention for the back of the bus is Oregon, just because they put up 81 points. Yeah, I respect that. Unreal. Tier 3, USC. They scored 56 points in the first game and 66 points in their second game. And Caleb Williams is unreal. And that freshman, Zachariah, like Patterson or something. Number one, he's electric. He's going to be fun to watch.
Starting point is 02:24:20 Florida State, tier two, they just played bully ball essentially against LSC, which was. It was wild to see. Crazy to see. And then Tier 1, Colorado, just because I guess they shocked everybody. but like you gotta think it's dion and like they have the number one recruit from two years ago Travis hunter he's unreal and then Chador doing his thing and just so many transfers like it kind of like was on the wall we just didn't want to see it so that is the back of the bus to your talk Colorado that is they that is exciting god damn it let's fucking go boys we really see if they're really that team come this week they come this Saturday Nebraska's gonna be a test that's the next
Starting point is 02:25:04 segment that they will fail. Who? Colorado. If Colorado wants to jump into those rankings for real, then they'll be the, they'll beat a team like Nebraska. Should we talk about our shittiest week? Shittiest moment of the week.
Starting point is 02:25:20 Brought to us by dude wipes, still using toilet paper. Gross. Drop the TP. Drop the TP and get some wet, extra large, flushable wipes that clears instead of smears. Wiping wet just cleans better
Starting point is 02:25:33 than wiping dry and get confidently clean with dude wipes that get all the crap out of the toilet and all the poop out of the colon and doesn't leave paper behind. You can pick up dude wipes on Amazon or Walmart and Target nationwide. Shittiest moment of the week.
Starting point is 02:25:50 Wipe responsibly. Wipe responsibly. Shittiest moment of the week for me is Nebraska losing. Legit. I mean, I was the promise going in like, legitimately could have started, should have started 1 and 0. And you just want that energy.
Starting point is 02:26:04 You want that wind injected into the locker room, winning a close game, injected into the state. The state craves it, dude. We just need, you just need a little bit of that momentum. Because now you're looking at a tough Colorado game, but it's like, you know, for me, selfishly, four and no going into that bus and bowl. It's like, the juice. Dog, that would have been something.
Starting point is 02:26:24 The juice. Still could. I mean, we take your business with, yeah, I know. Thursday games don't count to your point. Don't enable him. I mean, Thursday games, neutral site games. None of it goes on the overall record. I love that.
Starting point is 02:26:40 Now, that is where I could see you being like, you know, when, when do you, when is enough enough on the, on the spin zones? But to me, we are fully capable of taking care of business this weekend. And it just, it pissed me off so much. It hurts so much that we drop the ball against us. I think, I think if the line, I think, I know. If you, if you keep that. The line is three. Vegas knows something we don't, right?
Starting point is 02:27:03 If you keep that game within 10 points, you should be really proud of that. also we need to talk about the bust and bowl. Today I will be texting David, Dave, Dave Abloff. Jack, I need you with your law degree to write up something. We're going to email to Dave Abloff for the AED to sign off on. He agreed. You guys saw it at the golf thing. If you guys want, you can go to YouTube, go on the vlog.
Starting point is 02:27:26 You can go see everything. The AED of University of Michigan agreed to the Buston Bowl. We need to get him to sign because here's the issue I think we're running into right now. It'd be tough for us to go to brag. ask and ask them, hey, will you guys sign this after taking an L to Minnesota? Like, it's just not fair to ask them. It's better to have three signatures and then have their AD, just fucking sign it and get it done with. So it's officially official.
Starting point is 02:27:46 My shittiest moment of the week is going to be being in Vancouver. Oh, there's a lot needs to be said. My backpack was stolen. Yeah, that's tough. That's tough. That was tough. All right. Should we do a pet peeve?
Starting point is 02:28:06 Let's do pet peeve of the week Yeah, we can get, we can get into a pet peeve Yeah, we just I know, I know, but so we don't keep them all Or maybe it doesn't matter Maybe we just run into the next one, the next segment Yeah, just running the next segment I mean, we're running 2 hours and 30 minutes right now

Starting point is 02:32:45 about like, see, don't wear your sunscreen. I'm thinking like, I have made the mistake of not wearing sunscreen and I just get Yeah Yeah Burnt to a crisp Humans are we're outside
Starting point is 02:32:58 Until as caveman We've evolved Being outside our whole lives I forgot we're outside hunting dinosaurs still You just showed us stupid you are with that comment Yeah with your olive skin Fucking doesn't really get burnt Mother fucking ass dude
Starting point is 02:33:14 Not sure how to take that My shout out of every shout is maybe going to be a controversial one. It's going to be to the neighborhood palms up, interpretive talking old dads. I was hitting a corner pretty hard in Canada, and this guy was walking his dog, and he hit me with the palms up and then the slow down.
Starting point is 02:33:38 And at first it pissed me the fuck off because I was like, who are you telling me what the dude, but I was hitting that corner pretty hard. And then I thought, this dude is really just being the savior that this neighborhood needs between reckless drivers like me. And he's doing his job,
Starting point is 02:33:52 and he's more pissed off than I am at this point. And he just wants, he wants law and order in his area. And I can appreciate the shit out of that. And him taking the time at his day to show me his frustration and let me know, brother, hey, you're going too fast. Slow down. He knows I can't hear him,
Starting point is 02:34:08 but he knows the hand gestures. I can gather in my head what he needs. So I can really appreciate his effort to tell me what to do in that situation. So shout out those dads. That's a good shout out. Thanks, man. I do have a question. Like, when are you going to stop driving so reckless out there?
Starting point is 02:34:24 What do you mean, man? I don't drive that reckless. We got some stories. I'm sure. Who? Who? Who? They're an owl in there?
Starting point is 02:34:31 Yeah. Who's driving reckless? I'm just saying you're an aggressive driver. I am a confident driver. There's no question. There's a no, there's data out there to back up that claim. You don't want the red lights. We have the, the, the trip to Indianapolis.
Starting point is 02:34:49 Got out of that one. driving by Boots that one not driving by but when we left Boost and you were I was only 80 down at 45 got pulled over yeah I took out of that that one I mean yeah like I don't know like I dude I think it's like an attention thing because I sometimes I'm driving especially lately ever since Zins have been out of my life I'm especially more aggressive on driving because like there's nothing like taking my like I'm so fucking bored behind that wheel so yeah yeah what I'm so bored by
Starting point is 02:35:20 huh Oh, yeah, gum. Oh, I'll just do gum. I haven't thought of that. Oh, yeah, GAM. I went through, like, two packs of gum yesterday, brother. My shout-out, no-free shout-out
Starting point is 02:35:32 is going to go to... Ice cream. Had it three days in a row. Yeah. Over the weekend. Thank you. Do we hit the twisted question? Get those cans back up.
Starting point is 02:35:54 No, we got you. Breathe. Good funny. Ice cream. Three days in a row. Thank you. All right. Holy fuck,
Starting point is 02:36:18 my whole body is sweating right now. The twisted question brought to you by Twisted Tea, the smoothest hard iced tea out there. Perfect. For pool, parties, college game days, keeping it twisted with twisted tea, dude. Listen, I'm going to tell you something right now about this drink.
Starting point is 02:36:30 The fact that it's not carbonated makes it go down and way smoother. if it's a hot day, September, you've got the heat, you're down south. You're going to catch that Titans game this weekend against the New Orleans Saints. Guess what you're going to do. You're going to pop a twilight in there a couple hours before the game. You're going to enjoy the hell out of that. Get yourself a nice little buzz walking into Nissan Stadium.
Starting point is 02:36:46 It's going to be incredible. Let me just double check real quick. Is that Nissan Stadium, correct? When you're going to go to Mercedes Ben Stadium, that Anola? Dude, you're going to go down and you're going to see all those. Oh, Mercedes Ben Stadium? Huh? I thought it was Mercedes Ben Stadium.
Starting point is 02:36:59 That's the way. It's a super dumb. You got a super dumb dude. You're going to know what you're going to be walking down Broadway. You're going to see the hand grenades and the hurricanes and all that. Push those to the side. You got twisted tea. A refreshing twisted tea goes a whole longer of a way than any of those frozen beverages, brother.
Starting point is 02:37:18 A lot of people are wondering, do you taste too much liquor with the cocktail that is twisted tea? There's no such a thing as a stupid question, but that's pretty damn close. All you do right there, you taste delicious tea and then halfway through the candy go, I kind of feel great right now, dude. I'm kind of feeling like I can do anything. Go, yeah, go get me another one. Let me ask you a question.
Starting point is 02:37:37 Let me ask you a question. Does it go good on ice? Brother, it goes perfectly on ice. When it's hot, yeah, kickoffs, especially these first couple weekends, you're going to be out there tailgate and you're going to feel a little bit of that sunburn. It's going to feel a lot like that Tennessee game
Starting point is 02:37:49 at Nissan Stadium where the sun is out of it. You are battling the elements a little bit. However, when you have a freshly brewed, iced twisted tea in your hand, there is no better feeling. There's no better feeling. Grab a refreshing Twisted tea today
Starting point is 02:38:05 because they are everywhere. Dude, the thing about Twisted T too is as the weather starts to get more into that fall, it's just going to start tasting better and better.
Starting point is 02:38:14 And I literally, go ahead, we'll do the Twisted T because I was supposed about to talk about Spooktover. Go ahead. I'm so excited.
Starting point is 02:38:19 I'm so excited. Oh, yeah. I was about to get into it too, but Mitch, Mitch, coming to us with the Twisted T question of the day. Oh, I have a twisted question
Starting point is 02:38:27 for you. Where's our truck? Where's our dirt bike? I got to text the guy. I was planning on a texting him today. All right, cool. He's got some answers.
Starting point is 02:38:34 He was telling me about it last week. Cool. I literally drove up today, excited. I got here in a hurry, too, according to Will. I did tell you, it was on a Tuesday. You'd be getting it. But our twisted question is, would you rather lose your sight or lose all of your memories? JP Kent down from three.
Starting point is 02:38:55 So what, be blind or like have dementia? All right, ready? Three, two. Oh, that's what we're doing? I kind of want to hear other people. speak. I need to be sold. Because I don't know right now. But the thing Will just said, is it be blind or have dementia
Starting point is 02:39:13 essentially? Because it changes my answer. You're blind to lose your memory. Or you lose all your memories immediately. Now we talked about this before the show. Is it like Daredevil where I get to have superpowers now? Am I hearing stronger? No, you are you. You're asking for a right home.
Starting point is 02:39:32 Like men and black. I get that little pen on me. Yeah. So I'm just a vegetable. No, you're fully functioning. You don't know how you got here. Okay, I got my answer. What is it?
Starting point is 02:39:45 Sight. I'm losing my sight for sure. I think so. Absolutely without a doubt. Like the thought, think of like not seeing it how, dude, shout out all the warriors out there with all, not all the sense and they can't see. That shit sucks. The thought of me closing my eyes and wandering through life right now,
Starting point is 02:40:00 sounds really fucking hard. Well, you know what's harder? Knowing nothing. and doing like not understanding anything like if I lose all my memories everything I have no idea of the human being that I am the establishment I have of my family like any of that shit
Starting point is 02:40:15 now I'm just fucking wandering through life just a new human being do you get to acquire new memories or do I have one No let's just say I'm like Dory from finding Nemo You're like Channing Tatum in that movie where he loses his memory with his wife
Starting point is 02:40:27 Yeah Where he wakes up to get 10 second Tom from from 50 first dates Right like yeah yeah 50 first dates That's a great, that's a great place. You wake up and all your memories are gone and you're just, you're you, but it's not like you don't know. Like, what am I?
Starting point is 02:40:41 What are my hands? Without all my memories, I'm not really me. I'm just. But I'm saying like that's the type of person you are. Yeah, I stand firm. You're not like a vegetable. Neither one of them are great. Let's be honest.
Starting point is 02:40:50 It's not like I'm picking a winner out of here. But like this is the lesser of two evils in my opinion. I'm going sight. Does anybody disagree? I think I'm going sight as well. I'm going side as well because, again, you have all your memories. Ah, but if you don't have your memories. memories, people are still going to, you guys are going to be, hey, Will, this is, this is what
Starting point is 02:41:08 happens. Like, this is, this is what you got to do today. You'll, like, 50 first days, you get to kind of recreate them. Like, you guys are all going to rally around me. Never see your family again. Yeah, but you'll, dude, you'll be able to remember all the good times, though, too. And also, Jack, you lose all your memories. Guess who's getting taken advantage of you on a daily basis.
Starting point is 02:41:25 And you're like Ray Charles, Ray, who's all they're hitting them out. If you're hanging out. If you're blind, you get a cool stick in a dog, dude. Like, they're a pros to being blind. That's your argument. It's better than losing all your members. A new life. He's always yelling at me.
Starting point is 02:41:38 His voice is kind of gone. I'm talking. I'm talking. He's not going to like that. Look at them. Spirling. Yeah, that's tough. It's hard to pick.
Starting point is 02:41:50 Man, that is a fucking lose-lose situation. What would you guys other have? Listen to football forever. You go to movies. You listen to movies. People did that. People did that back in the 50s. That's called radio.
Starting point is 02:42:03 Yeah, it sounds awful. No, read a book. I've read a book lately. I read a book. The last time you wrote a book. The last book I read was the showdown at Lohawk. It was a Western book. I actually read it when I was in Canada.
Starting point is 02:42:15 And it was phenomenal. I literally thought to myself, wow. People who say, oh, if you have the movie was good, the book's even better. I understand why because your imagination gets to go a little bit. But you listen to the radio. They paint a picture for you, too. Those people, radio voices, do a great job. I think the memory thing.
Starting point is 02:42:33 Maybe. maybe losing the memories. Oh, you're leaving me. But here's why. Here's why. The way Will's explaining is you don't get more. You just reset every day. No, no, no.
Starting point is 02:42:45 And I reset every day. You were just talking about being a vegetable. Like, you don't know what, you don't know how to speak words because you're like starting at zero basically. Like learning how to walk. I'm saying like, you wake up tomorrow morning and you're you and your bed
Starting point is 02:42:57 realizing where in the fuck am I, but you're still able to like, you know, say we're in the fuck am I and talk. And people are just going to have to, tell you, show you memories. Like, what to show you all the videos on YouTube. Like, you could, you still see, still see who you were. You, you, you were misled, Taylor. I see why you thought what he was saying. Because the examples you gave, like, oh, so and so off of 51st dates. Yeah. No, they're saying you actually, you like reset your life. Like,
Starting point is 02:43:27 you get all your memories, you're creating all your new memories from this point on. Yeah. And you get to, no, I'm, then I'm switching mine as well. Like you don't have any good memories, baggage, whatever it is. They're all gone. Yeah. I don't think, I think if that is the case, because then if we're going to keep using 51st dates, dude, give me the video cassette of showing me all the cool shit that's happened in my life or whatever.
Starting point is 02:43:48 And now I can kind of piece the other things from there have that and to keep establishing your memories. When I'm thinking, every day is a reset. I have to relearn who my kids are. I have to relearn how to drive, all that stuff because all that shit is is just memories as well, you know? So yeah, I'm with that. I'm with that and I retract my blind statement.
Starting point is 02:44:06 Although... There's some perks to being blind. There's some perks to being blind. If you have the powers. Stand at the urinal pants, the ankles? What? For sure. But it's like the...
Starting point is 02:44:21 The... Yeah, like, you don't know any different. Yeah, man. I'm saying, like, when I was growing up in school, if there was, like, a blind student, he would... You'd walk in the bathroom,

Starting point is 02:45:15 They did. They're like, if you, if you were to get $10 million, tax free, everything, but you had to learn every single line in order to a movie.
