Welcome to the Greenlight podcast.
Cowboy.
Today we celebrate Bo Allen, recently retired NFL superstar.
Chris Bow and Dr. Fax are going to recap Bo's career.
Talk his favorite teammate, his stints on the Eagles, Patriots, and Bucks.
Talk about the Eagles Super Bowl run.
After Bo recaps his career, we dive into a draft.
It's the most dangerous worldwide custom.
To begin the show, Chris and Dr. Fax are going to do a little news round up.
We're going to talk about what if the NFL went all indoor states?
We'll talk about Aaron Rogers tattoo and the Baker Mayfield Browns Panthers with Chris giving an interesting take on the next QV who could be traded
The next thing you'll hear though is a message from Kyle Long the go fund me. He references is linked in today's show description as well as his Twitter page
Please consider donating and if you're not able to donate please spread the word and pass this link around
So I was contacted by three-year letterman who's a popular meme poster on Twitter and he wrote me a message that he lives near the Highland Park
mass shooting that happened at the 4th of July parade and he wanted to partner with me to get the
word out about a verified go fund me you can find it on my page but if you could just take a second to
take a look at it um and help out if you can i'm going to be donating a thousand dollars today and
it's a great cause and there's kids that that need it and families that need it thank you i want to
start the show by saying we did uh an interview earlier with uh gulbert the rassler who i
I was a big fan of growing up.
I know most guys in my demo probably were.
Who wasn't?
Nate, you know, like, read, I'm sure.
When you were a kid, were you a wrestling fan?
I wasn't a big wrestling fan, but I know of Goldberg.
Everybody knows a Goldberg.
Hey, listen.
Even before the longest yard.
And then when you watch, even when, you know,
a non-wrestling fan watches the longest yard,
you get pretty into the, the, his tattoo and just dropping people in the football field.
Yeah, dude.
That was what he was all about.
He was actually a legit NFL player.
I mean, evidently he didn't, he tore his ab.
Nate, you were telling me off the bone.
Wipped it off, ripped his ab off his pelvis.
Yeah, so that was night night for the NFL career,
but he was able to get in the ring and make an even bigger name for himself.
And I'll just ask you this, Reed.
We did this interview earlier.
Y'all will hear it next week.
I'm so excited about this interview because sometimes I get really excited about shows we do.
And, you know, people are just like,
Yeah, whatever. But I love certain shows. I really love doing this show. So regardless of how people feel about it, I thought what you're going to come away with is that like you want to hang out with and solicit advice from and like just, you know, have a Bill Goldberg around at all times. This guy would be a great friend. Give me like an adjective or two to describe his personality because I think that would be really, it's crazy. I didn't know how sage.
say H.
Yeah.
Like,
like,
wise almost even beyond his years.
Like he's just had an amazing perspective on everything.
Engaging.
Because anytime you had something,
you threw something Adam,
he came back with not just an answer,
but three different paths we could go from that answer.
I'm going to say unpredictable because he said at any moment,
you can be going to a little league baseball game
and see him pull up.
a kangaroo.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah.
You have to hear more about that.
I would say humble.
That was like the word that I, and that's like, whenever I learned that about somebody
with who cast a big wake and they're humble and they're cool and like,
that guy doesn't need to be fucking cool to us, but he was super cool.
And you'll really enjoy this interview.
So speaking of Rasslin, Pat McAfee, friend of the program, one time Pat McAfee called in
here. I'll tell you this. That's a guy who casts a big wake, Pat McAfee. I mean, he's about as
popular. He's got the world by the balls, right? But I'll say this about Pat McAfee. We texted him
because we didn't have a guest one Sunday night last fall. It was like an emergency. I texted him
at like three in the afternoon. I'm pretty sure he's drunk or something. He's having a good time.
He's living that Pat McAfee life. And he got back to me and came on the show within a couple
hours notice and didn't just give us five minutes gave us 30 from the man cave so we love pat
mcalfi but i just want to you know when i'm about to take an absolute dump on somebody's take
that i that i build up the positive energy pat mcgafee had a punter take today he doesn't do it often
and pat you know like a rare miss you know what the kids say online rare l for pat mcgapy today
he posited that all NFL games should be indoors
wrong just wrong but he said it that he said that the quality of the game would improve
if they did it unquestionably the quality of the predictability of the game you can
play in quality and predictability um I think it's more the thought of leveling the
playing field all the way around how do we need to level it you know now I'll just say this
If it's about the quality of the game, before we do that,
a 55 to 51 football game looks real pretty to the fans sitting at home,
but to a guy who's watching who played defense,
it doesn't look so pretty.
And some people like chaos.
You know, I had fans in my mentions saying,
well, you won't have to deal with that 1410 game
with the Bills and the Patriots last year.
Best game of the season.
It's the most fun I had watching football.
I was like, holy shit, look at the wind, dude.
Like it became a spectacle.
Football is interesting enough when you add an element in
and you take away the predictability.
Yeah, it makes gambling, sketchy and all that.
But I really do think, like,
if somebody's talking about quality of game,
are they really talking about predictability or quality?
Quality of game is totally subjective, in my opinion.
And I like some fucking chaos.
I like the wind.
I also as a fan hate watching indoor football.
It hurts my eyes, dude.
The worst thing they do, if Pat McAfee was the mayor,
he would make every Thanksgiving,
he wouldn't change a fucking thing.
They play every game indoors nowadays.
Like two out of three of the game,
66.6 repeated percent of the football
that you watch on Thanksgiving is under unnatural light.
That is not how God intended football to be played.
The elements are part of the history of the game.
Like it goes along with football you think about snow you think about rain like I've never played in it and I'm sure it probably fucking sucks especially if you're a punner
But like got to love watching like a rainstorm game or a snowstorm game think about it who remembers
Remember one game from the 2013 Eagles season
I'll tell you what game it was and you'll be able to remember exactly what it was it was snow game
Snow game I remember where I was when I saw that game how much fucking snow was on that field I just went we were in arizona
getting ready to play the Cardinals,
dude, they were playing the Lions, right?
In Philly, there was a foot of snow on the ground.
It was some of the most fun,
and I've heard guys say this,
that they had some of the most fun playing in that football game.
I'll tell you what, I had fun watching it.
LaShawn McCoy had a lot of fun,
29 carries, 217 yards, two touchdowns.
Yeah, dude, that stuff's fun.
Pat McAfee's the mayor.
We never see snow again.
So I think it's a bad take.
I just want to say that.
I just want to,
I think some issues,
I should have opened the show with this issue, honestly.
Pat McAfee is against outdoor football.
This is, this is...
Matt Stafford didn't have much fun in that game.
He had five fumbles.
Yeah, well, that's going to happen
when there's a bunch of snow on your hands
and you can't feel your hands and shit like that.
And he's playing out of a dome
where the lines usually had played.
I get it, though.
If you're a punter,
it's scary enough to think about catching the snap, dude.
You know what I mean?
Like, I just have to run into somebody
and just try not to slip.
Speaking of Pat McAfee
and the Pat McAvey show,
Aaron Rogers,
uh,
I hear is,
has a tattoo.
And,
uh,
where is it at?
Where's it?
Where's it?
Where is it?
It's on his arm.
Forearm.
Oh,
wow.
So,
um,
don't tell us.
I'll show you guys in a second,
but I want to know your,
yeah,
I want the guesses.
My guess was he got the V for Vendetta mask.
That was my guess.
The guy Fox mask.
The guy Fox mask.
I thought he probably heard.
Is that true?
He got a slice of,
a cheese.
Nah.
No?
That's below him.
That's below him?
Yeah, dude.
He's not getting a slice of cheese.
I didn't know it was on his arm.
I thought it might have been on his chest
when I was thinking of this.
But I was thinking he'd get like the red circle with the line through it, the cancel
tattoo.
No.
No, dude.
No.
So he got a number of things.
We'll try to decipher this.
But you guys,
you guys check this out.
You know you're a big time.
Holy shit.
You know your big time.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
This is a thinking man's version of two clowns.
Oh, no.
This is a thinking man's version of the laugh now, cry later tattoo,
or the two different clown masks that you see at a lot of CD tattoo shops.
So you guys have a similar lion.
No, dude.
Look, lo, lo, look at those lions.
No, I'm just wondering how long you're going to do this.
I'm just saying, hey, but that's, that's, let you run this out.
That's an Illuminati eye.
I don't know about that.
That all seen eye.
Oh, yeah, that is that aluminum.
I'm a lot of the eye, dude.
So he said he captioned this on the same.
Free Mason?
I guess so.
That eye, right?
No, it's not just the, I mean, there's some free masony looking.
So he said first tattoo, there's a deep and meaningful story in connection to absolutely each element of this art piece.
And I'll share a little bit more about that one day.
For now, just thankful.
We got a decipher.
What are we looking at?
What are we looking through here?
There's this.
There's constellations at the top.
You see that those are like,
the big dipper.
Is that the big dipper?
Orion's belt?
How about the Orion's belt scene in men and black?
What a fucking cliffhanger that was.
How great is that?
Ooh.
Where is Aaron Rogers from?
What is California?
California.
Oh, is that like the,
maybe the artist?
Like, what is that flag?
So that hungry.
It makes sense.
Okay.
His style is described as distinct, identifiable, and meticulous.
So his artwork, his work is heavily influenced by ancestral practices with ritual, spiritual, sacred geometry, and occult and sculpture.
So just off the bat, the first game, if I'm a D. Lyman standing across from him, the first thing I'm saying to him is that tattoo is trash, bro, just to see if it gets under his skin.
Because if he takes, if he takes,
tattoo will get under his skin,
but if he takes all this time
to make this post,
unless he maybe got the tattoo for free
for posting this artist.
I don't think he wouldn't need a promo, dude.
But he's like leaving it up.
He's making, bro, he's like,
why is he leaving a cliffhanger of all the meanings?
And like now you have all people asking,
hey, what does it mean?
What does it mean?
Okay, well, hold on.
He's got the new tat shows two lines facing one another across from some sort of geometric sign.
You'd seen an astronomy textbook above the lion.
Above the lions appears to be the eye of Providence, which is the Illuminati Eye, All-C-N-I.
What's the all-seeing eye God?
Yeah, so it's obviously on the U.S. dollar.
Maybe it's something with like the Fed.
Maybe he thinks the Fed should.
Yeah, people don't like that.
It should end the Fed.
religious teammates they're not going to like that shit
what I think it represents
bro your god like tattoos in it of itself
or are not supposed to happen according to the old testament
so but like that's like a luminaity sign some people
don't like that they don't play with that
i'm just telling you who do you know that doesn't play about the
illuminati just telling you can we call somebody that
can you can you prove who
who
the first comment marcus veldous scantling
not no chance what does not no chance mean
You know, I'm not sure if that means
Because not a chance and then
Devil.
No, no, that's like when people
Illuminati for like the black community
sometime, that is synonymous with
oh, that's some devil shit.
We don't like it.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
Some people do feel that way
and they,
whether that eye means that or not,
that's how they feel about it.
But he gave him the flame emojis.
That hell?
Is MVS saying hell?
I don't know.
Not a chance.
Hell emoji.
He thinks that's the hell emoji.
I don't know. This is
okay
let's see
I'm just seeing what it means. Free
Masonry, I'm telling you.
Yeah.
Thomas Smith Webb's the free mason's monitor
in this use the eye
representing the all seeing eye
God serves as a reminder that humanity's
thoughts and deeds are always observed by God
who is referred to in masonry
as the great architect of the universe.
Hmm.
I think he's
He's the lion that's calm.
Everybody on the left is the angry lion that's trying to cancel him.
And you see the God, he can see that.
So he's going to take that in an account when he gets to heaven.
And what's the spyglass looking out over water kind of thing?
Still waters run deep, Reid.
As you can see, that's largely a still body of water.
How about the peacock at the bottom?
That's a peacock?
Well, what is that?
First, I was saying a fan.
Yeah, first I was thinking a fan, but then I was like, it looks like a peacock's head and, you know, kind of down below that little ball.
Looks like the shape of a peacock's head, right?
And I wonder what these things are here.
These little tick-tac-toe kind of things.
Nate doesn't like it, dude.
I don't like it because then he's going to do one of those things.
See, C, C, C, C, C.
Look, look again.
Like the rough water is in the darkness, but the still water's in the light.
He is the still water.
Nate tweeted Aaron Rogers parties with the Illuminaity 35 seconds.
Nate's tweeting her in the show, dude.
That's fucking good.
You're just, you're setting yourself up for an alley-up, dude.
If I was him and you came at my tattoo, automatically somebody died.
I'm just going to be like, hey, well, that's fucked up because this tattoo's about somebody
that died.
Nope.
Nope.
That isn't, no, it's still trash.
Like, we're playing against each other.
Matt, you have any conspiratorial theories here?
It looks like something somebody on acid at a festival would get.
and then regret.
At Burning Man?
Yeah, something like that.
I don't know.
I'm going to actually investigate all of these little individual symbols.
I'm sure there's something smart behind them
or at least thoughtful in some way.
It's definitely thoughtful.
Adaxation of Puerto Rico.
Okay.
I'm just reading some of the tweets and then we're going to move on
because we have real football news.
It's also like damn near trolling Baker Mayfield.
The day that Baker Mayfield gets traded,
the Aaron Rogers is like,
time to show the tattoo.
You know, like just totally fucking stealing the show.
This is funny.
Okay, let's see.
Somebody said,
spent too much time in Boulder.
Motherfucker dates a girl with a tapestry on her wall one time.
That's pretty good.
Tattoo artist,
what you want to do today?
Aaron Rogers.
Have you heard Kyrie Irving talk?
Artists, say no more.
I'm done, bro.
Let's talk about Baker.
And hey guys, there's a layup line today.
We'll go Tumbling Dice by the Rolling Stones.
I'll say this first.
I tweeted this very cautiously this morning.
I posed as a question,
and Matt, you like the Stones?
I said, how highly could I rank tattoo you as an album
before somebody
laughs at me and calls me a noob or something,
like a Rolling Stones historian?
I think if you put it in the top five,
somebody would probably come at you.
Well, fuck that person, dude.
Because the albums that you're talking about here,
like let it bleed like I would agree it very important like uh an album that they made right like
tattoo you is a it's a collection of songs from the 70s right they it was the 80s this was their
last great album that they weren't getting along and they kind of yeah it was like it was like
toss-offs and like unpolished tracks that they like then later brought together like you know we
often have extra stuff when we record yeah they had some extra it's their best of show here's the deal
tattoo you is more fucking fun than let it bleed it's a more fun album than let it bleed it's more fun
might be more fun more fun's a nice like convenient way of saying it so you can't really be wrong but
it's not but you really can't be wrong if you say it's better either that's true it's taste if i'm an
alien and i'm zapped down with no musical context and i didn't read any fucking blender articles
or slate pieces or you know like i don't have a beard and i use beard oil and have records and
Like I might just like tattoo you better.
Or you might just be in one of your phases.
It might be a phase because tattoo you is a great summer record.
And of course,
you guys are all saying that tumbling dice is not on tattoo you.
I fucking know that, okay?
I'm just saying I've had a lot of rolling stones in my head.
And I was listening to tumbling dice.
And then Baker Mayfield got traded.
And I was like, man,
Matt Ruhl is tumbling those dice.
You know,
he's just rolling the dice.
he's extending
he's getting bad hair plugs right now
is what he's doing
like the hair line is going
we all see it like you might get fired next year
but you're doing
the Bosley treatment at all costs
you're fuck fuck it
you know we've already given up a
what have they given up already
for their quarterbacks
second second third
third uh two fourths
fifth and a sixth
yep and one of those is conditional right
because that's the Baker Mayfield trade
yep I say that to say he's doing
everything he can to just hold on
he's hanging on dude he's getting all kinds of weird haircuts to you know like it's not going
anywhere to like change the angle but the hairline is receding he might get fired next year and i think
he's just fucking throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks i'm not really sure if in his
heart of hearts he thinks this will work but you know what it's going to work do you think so i think
it's going to work i think it's going to buy him more time and i think in the process baker mayfield's
gonna uh god i've nobody remember that i said this only remember that i said this if it works but i
think this is going to work dude i'm jumping out of the gym so at at least try dude i'm totally
on board with the fucking as many quarterbacks as possible why not i mean the panthers now have
the two quarterbacks that have the most interceptions since 2018 and you think robbie
is changing tune and is getting excited.
Yes, over Sam Darnold.
This is an upgrade.
But you remember he had his Instagram post.
What did he say?
What did he say about Baker?
Yeah.
Someone proposed Baker to the Panthers like a few months ago.
Oh, fuck.
And he posted under it.
No.
I forgot about that.
I mean, that was then.
And now he's on the podium saying,
don't paint the narrative.
Yeah.
When it's like, is that is funny?
Is that as funny as when my, did he say that?
He said, don't paint that narrative.
He said, you guys are trying to.
and don't try to paint that narrative.
But we have it in writing.
We haven't in writing.
The funniest shit, he's trying to clean up.
Trying to do the right thing.
Good for him.
And you know what?
I get it.
Robbie Anderson wants to win.
You have no choices.
Just like, hey, like what, I'm going to shit on my new quarterbacks.
Like when I'm the, I'm the, what, number one or two receiver on this team or
expected to be?
Like, how's that going to end up if?
I also think when he said that Deshawn Watson was still out there.
and I'm not saying I agree with this,
but he was probably maybe
when he said that was Deshawn still out there
before the Browns?
Kind of, yeah.
This is right before the Deshaun rumors were.
But what are the options for Robbie Anderson?
I would ask Robbie Anderson like,
dude, you're a great player, right?
You can't afford down years
on this journey.
And receivers always have to deal with this bullshit.
Like receivers are
more dependent on
you know, who's playing that position,
then a lot of other position groups looking at somebody else.
Like pass rush, you look at the corners.
You're like, are we going to play man this year?
Am I going to be able to eat?
You know, running backs.
You're looking at the offensive line.
Quarterbacks, you're looking at the offensive line.
But no position depends on somebody as much of receiver.
So I get the angst.
But what is the fucking alternative, dude?
For the Panthers.
You better hope the kid from Ole Miss is pretty good.
In a down draft,
yes, you moved up, right?
but it was a down draft.
I mean, Sam Darnold,
you know what that commodity is,
even though he said otherwise
I'm busting with the boys.
Shout out to Sam Darnold,
having confidence.
And I would try my best to do the same thing,
but like you've got B.J. Walker.
Okay, all guys that have stories,
there's a lot of content in this room,
but you don't have a guy that's won a playoff game.
You know, this guys want a playoff game.
I'm not saying he's fucking Aaron Rogers,
but what I am saying is that
I think you're going to get a motivated guy
who's backed into a corner
and I think even he knows when
to say when
and I think now it's time to say when
and be a little bit more compliant
fucking show up to work
and go out and play this year
and maybe revive your NFL career
because the team
is playing in a division
with James Winston
and Marcus Marriota
not going to talk about Tom Brady just yet
we're not talking about winning the division
if you haven't noticed
a million teams
make the playoffs now
all of a sudden you got
all right
let's beat Atlanta twice
let's split with
New Orleans
fuck around and get lucky
against the bucks
that's how you start thinking
and then you look around
at the NFC
and you're like
it wouldn't be too hard
would it
so like Matt Rule
I see what he's thinking
I don't know if he thinks
it's the right football move
I don't know if he thinks
it's just a you know
a Bosley thing
or if he really believes
in it, but I think ultimately he's going to look
up one day this year and
say like, fuck, I was glad I did that.
I'm going out on a limb
here. I know this is a hot take,
but the guy won a playoff
game, and it's all going to be about his health.
So,
best storyline division. The AFC
West is the best quarterback division.
The NFC South is the
best storyline division.
Do you think the Panthers have any pressure?
So if he plays more than
70% of the snaps, he gets
the Panthers turn that fifth into a fourth.
That's the conditional part.
Do they have any pressure into playing him?
Say that they lose a couple games.
He's not playing as well.
You don't think there's any pressure.
You're not pressured to play him.
I don't think so either.
I don't think it's too low in those two picks.
Exactly.
You know, like I don't think you make those decisions.
I don't even think I don't know what the situation would be
where you'd actually make that consideration.
Like there's almost no situation.
I think it's more about you're not bringing
this kid in to fucking mentor somebody okay this guy doesn't have mentor written all over him but
they're gonna push these iron sharpens iron like they're gonna push each other in a way i feel
iron are both as players yeah i i guess but if if it's like a small pool like pool to choose from
it's just hey like we have two semi like mediocre quarterbacks in hey like the the worst thing is
that we have a season that like we just have.
Best thing is we improve just a little bit more.
I just realized I just said Baker Mayfield's going to work out in Carolina.
I realized I really said that.
But I'm biting the cheese here a little bit.
I'm listening to you talk.
And yeah, competition on top of it.
Like just being in the room.
And playing the odds, dude.
Okay?
There's not going to be four of them on game day.
But maybe one of these guys might improve.
One's going to get healthy.
maybe Darnold fucking...
Or I think about it like this, your defense is going to improve.
One of those two quarterbacks are really going to be going hard on scout team.
One of those two quarterbacks are really going to be going hard in practice
because at the end of the day, every rep counts when you're in a situation like that,
and it's either or, and it never hurts to have two capable quarterbacks.
That can at least go in the game, and who knows, like, hopefully these guys are hearing all the
waters and they're just like, I can't wait to show everyone that,
hey, I'm a good quarterback or we're good quarterbacks, and maybe they make it work.
I also think Baker Mayfield is looking at this stadium, and he's saying, yeah, it's got a bow jangles,
but it hasn't been updated since its completion in 1996.
So I'm kind of nervous about if I'm Baker, like, yeah, strong D-line.
You got Robbie Anderson, a second chance, thank the Lord.
But you got to live in this stadium that I'll just say.
What company was it that he does the ads for?
they're pissed. They got to throw all those out.
Progressive. Do you think that they
find all the orange
in those ads and they just make them a certain
shade of blue? No, people don't know.
No, they can't. They're too big
of a company. Like, people like, they're
going to know. They're going to know. The Reddit thread about that would be
ripped that. No, no, no. They just
like superimposed that Panther
that was on the intro video. They superimposed
the panther in the background of some of them. That'll make it a
Carolina enough. That would go over
well. You superimpose a
Panther over Jim Brown.
Those are the two statues outside those fucking stadiums.
Or you,
you,
you,
you,
you,
you,
you,
you,
statue over Jim Brown.
That wouldn't go well.
But this is ultimately three people cleaning up a body, dude,
is what it is.
I hate to be morbid,
but that's what it is.
It's Baker Mayfield saying,
I don't know,
I'll take a little pay cut.
I'll convert some of this in incentives.
It's the Brown saying like,
we'll eat 10 million.
It's the,
the panthers saying,
we'll eat what,
five mill?
Is that what they're eating?
It's three people being like,
how do we do something here?
And everybody's working a little bit.
Now, somebody's doing a lot of heavy lifting here,
and that's the Browns.
Because they're paying Baker 10 and Deshawn 45 big ones this year.
And neither of them are likely going to be playing.
Well, part of this, I wonder, you know,
I floated that like Baker Mayfield should,
if he had the opportunity and Deshawn was suspended for a year
and the Browns had no choice.
First off, I'm surprised that on a level
that the Panthers felt they needed to trade for him
because eventually you could just wait and wait and wait.
But another reason why I think they're serious about him
and not just insurance, like they want to give him time
to get with the program.
But the Browns here who are eating $45 and $10 million on top of that,
I think this might mean that they know
that he might not get a full year.
I don't know.
Like, because why would you trade him
until after the suspension?
Is there a leverage conversation to be had here?
I think you trade him just to save the money.
Maybe he had made it clear that he wasn't going to play for them
and they knew it was like we got to get rid of them.
And it might not work in Carolina,
but they're buying at the absolute low.
If you think about buying low and high upside,
it's a nice play for them.
It might not work out.
What team do you think woke up after the trade
and felt more dangerous?
Cleveland with Jacoby or Carolina with their quarterbacks.
I think the Panthers feel more dangerous because they have, like I said,
success in this situation doesn't have to be 12 wins.
And maybe eight wins or nine wins doesn't get it done from that rule.
But this is a team that could win eight games.
I haven't looked at their schedule.
I mean, but, you know, like their defense was pretty fucking good last year.
I know I'm probably overlooking some holes.
I'm sorry I didn't watch every Panthers game last year.
but I think they're going to be better with Baker Mayfield.
Let me ask you this.
Offseason, if you're Robbie, Donald sends you a text.
Baker sends you a text.
We're meeting at this local high school to throw passes.
Who are you going to catch passes with?
Baker.
Yeah, dude.
He's probably fun to hang out with, honestly.
I don't think Baker's a bad guy.
I think Baker's just when he's pushed competitively.
He's like a rattlesnake and he starts just biting everybody, dude.
And you're like, fuck, man.
Don't you don't even bite him, you know?
Makes an otherwise kind of mediocre week one matchup pretty juicy.
And that is almost worth, although I, you know, like short game,
let's get a real juicy week one matchup and I'm buying like I'll place the bet right now
on the Panthers over the Browns.
But it would have been even juicier to see him in a Browns uniform all year long.
Not that that was ever going to happen maybe, but yeah, this is must-see TV.
This is this league, man, this league.
So speaking of the Browns,
I think they're going to be making a trade for Jimmy G
here in the next fucking...
Do you think so?
Yeah, dude, I think so
because you do need that insurance.
Dude, the Browns owe it to their players.
I know they have Jacoby and everything.
If they think that Jimmy G.
gives them a better chance to win,
it is their duty to these players
who have to stand at the fucking podium
and answer questions about massages, okay?
And obviously worse.
just saying that with a big tone.
Massages, dude.
Baby pose.
Yeah, baby poses and stuff.
This circus, dude,
you put your players to this fucking circus.
You owe every one of them
an opportunity to win.
And if you think Jimmy G
gives you a better opportunity to win,
you go get him.
You think that Jacoby goes to
St. Virginia in that situation?
I don't know.
The two New England Patriot teammates flip?
I don't know, dude.
But all I know is,
Hmm.
Huh.
Why would they do that?
Huh?
I'm waiting to get into Wynn horse mode.
But I really think that,
I really think, hmm.
What's the question we should be asking?
I don't know what the question we should be asking is.
Because you have Jimmy G.
And then you have Baker Mayfield.
And it just feels like it's a game of musical chairs here.
So nobody wants to be Trey Lance.
Because I don't think that's going to go well this year.
It's just a feeling I have, dude.
Is there any way that Carolina,
is like planning on like something crazy and trading both of them.
Hmm.
Why would they, yeah.
Let's talk about this.
Why would they send Baker Mayfield?
A good player.
Huh?
Yeah.
So Nate, yeah, I think I think you might be on to something.
Which of those three quarterback aliens in Seattle if you want to trade Jimmy G?
I think, I think I maybe think Drew Locke is,
is Seattle's guy.
US Open tweet.
How about the U.S. Open?
Now, I get the fact that everybody with a blue check gets to take a fucking pot shot
and dunk on people online, and I've been guilty of it.
I want to talk about this.
But hold on a second.
US Open tennis, dude.
I looked up the ratings on a David Blow football game against the Denver Broncos a couple years ago,
and they were higher than the ratings on the entire fucking tennis tournament
that were in question here.
So like I know that like people are like, we, you call football a sport and ha ha ha,
Drew Locke, let's make fun of a pro athlete.
But your tennis tournament, if a tree fucking fell in the forest, dude, I know a lot of people
like tennis, but if we're just doing popularity, more people are watching the Lions play.
Not on Thanksgiving, like regular ass Lions games.
Who's approved in the US?
Like all these companies are trying to get more reviews, cloud chasing?
There's so much cloud chasing going on.
It's disgusting, dude.
Did you see, have you guys checked out radio shouts?
Twitter lately?
Well, that's not cloud chasing.
That's a guy on PCP.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They took,
yeah, they took over Radio Shacks.
That bought Radio Shacks Twitter and then it's
masquerading.
Yeah.
It's pretty fucking hilarious,
honestly.
It is.
Yeah.
I'd love to get one of these airlines,
you know,
like buy their Twitter because I've always had this bit
going that when somebody complains about it,
like an airline,
I changed my header,
my name and everything like Delta.
And then I say like grab a
bag of peanuts and sit tight and they get so mad but so yeah the only quarterbacks to turn it around
in their second contract that were like number one picks for their teams and I mean like first rounders
and that sort of thing but Jim Plunkett is a guy you got to go back to like Jim Plunkett who was like
I think it didn't go real well in New England he ended up in Oakland and Super Bowl there and everything
so you got Jeff George who was better in Atlanta but still pretty controversial
The funny thing about Jeff George was
he got drafted by the Colts, right?
Which a lot of people forget.
So the Colts got that pick from the Falcons
and then they sent him back to Atlanta
where he became famous.
And then Jared Goff question mark
I have on my list. Could it be
Jared Goff next? Matt's like
man, fuck, it could be. Matt gave me
the this. He's like, he could.
Maybe he's got a good infrastructure.
He's got a good team. That's what I'm saying. And fucking, I believe
Brad Holmes a little bit.
I think Brad Holmes will put the right players around him.
Yeah.
So here's Bo Allen, who just retired this week.
I want to say something nice about Bo.
Bo always needed one compliment a day in the league.
That was like his schick.
So he would come up to my locker and be like,
tell me something nice straight, Chris.
And I usually tell him, like, your hair looks great or whatever.
Like, cool shade of blue your eyes are, man.
Or, hey, great job last week taking on that double team.
But it was always one compliment.
Okay, so in the spirit of giving Bo one compliment,
I'll say, you know, I'll give him a couple.
He was one of the best teammates I ever had.
He was incredibly important, one of the biggest unsung heroes on that 2017 season team.
We don't win a Super Bowl.
Philly doesn't have a Super Bowl if there's not a Bo Allen.
Like if we don't stop the run and he was the one guy who was consistently, consistently interested in doing that job,
we don't get to third down and play into one of our biggest strengths,
which was a really deep dominant pass rush.
so Bo was really important
in a Super Bowl run he was a great teammate
and a really fucking good player dude
really good player if Bo played in 1995
everybody would know who Bo Allen was
just born a little too late
otherwise he'd be a household name
but he was a fucking good player
great friend of the program
great friend of the program that's that's the
that's the biggest compliment I can give him
he actually came in
flew in just to be a part of one of our live watches
and to join us for the podcast
and got snowed in at my house we did a blizzard pod dude everybody got shit-faced in here was that what happened we did
we were up until about like two or three and he was just like along for the ride having fun the whole time and then he had to leave for richmond the next morning at six
yeah i felt really bad for him but uh i got two kids so uh you know i only have so much sympathy yeah we hope he
does more of that needless to say we hope bow joins the green light family we're gonna this is a verbal
offer to join us.
Terms, we'll hammer those out, but we'd love to have you
as a part of the family. We'll see if you
even listen to the podcast.
Bo. All right, man.
Here's Bo.

So I have newly retired, Bo Allen, here. How does it feel on the other side, dude?
Wow. Yeah, it feels good, man. A giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
No, it does feel good, though. It's different.
You know, you play football for a long time, and then all of a sudden you don't play.
Feels good.
It's just fucking beginning.
Essentially, you've had a weekend off.
Yeah, I know, right?
Talk to me in August.
You're going to really feel cool when you see guys on TV at training camp.
Well, I think it's, I was thinking about that, too, because it's such a dead period for NFL football right now.
Football in general, you know, kind of the last month before you got some college games, some preseason football games.
So it's not really anything crazy because all.
the guys are off, you know, my buddies that are still playing are off. But once I think fall rolls
around, you know, during camp, we'll be like, oh, fuck, yeah, I'm retired. Like, this shit's awesome,
you know, but then, like, once the games roll around, I think it'll be a little bit different
animal, but, you know, I wasn't on a team last year. So kind of got used to it, but it feels good
right now, but hit me up in like, fucking, you know, when there's some playoff football or,
or a big Monday night game or something. That can, that can suck. Nate, have you felt that since
you've been done? Oh, absolutely. I feel like there's always a couple
games in a season that you're watching.
You're just like, you might get the chills
or you might watch a play and just be like,
fuck. Like, it'll be like, damn.
Like, if I could have made that play or
damn, like, I made a play
like that makes you reminisce.
And of course, like, I feel like
any player, like, I
think you would have to not
watch football as a retired
player to, like, to really
be like, yo, I don't miss it. Like, you would just have
to, like, not. And still
then, I think you would probably be lying
to, to, you know,
yourself that you don't miss it a little. Then you remember everything it took Monday through Sunday
to get to Sunday. And that is why you're retired. Nobody retires because of the game day.
How you feel week 16. I think the thing is too, Chris, like you're a hater, you know. I don't know if you
guys on the podcast listeners. I figured that out yet. I was just about the guy. I had the same insult
loaded up for you. And I was just going to say as somebody who's retired, go ahead, say what you're
going to say. And then I have something for you. We're all competitive, right? All football players
competitive. It's just in your DNA. You can't fight that. And, you know, you see guys that,
you know, you've played against, or maybe they're your draft class, or maybe they're a year
younger than you, and they had a good season and they got paid or something like that. And you're
like, what the fuck? That guy's still playing? Like, oh, that guy made this or, you know, blah, blah,
or like a guy that's really balling that you're a little bit surprised and jealous of. I think that
kind of, you know. Who's that going to be? Who's that going to be for you, Bo? Because this was going to be
my first piece of sage advice to you when I text you the other night was don't look back.
That's a dead serious thing.
You're going to look back at times, but like just fucking go forward.
And then second, for you, because you are a hater, an enormous hater.
You are buck, you are buck nasty.
You're a lover.
But I'm generally miserable, okay?
Like you are happy as can be till you see some other detackles succeed.
So who's that going to be that bothers you the most?
watching them make plays on Sundays.
Well, there's this guy who was the same draft class as me.
I'm not going to mention any name specifically,
but you probably figured out by context.
I think he went to Pitt.
Pit maybe.
Same draft class.
I think he was a first round pick,
which is kind of bullshit,
because an undersized guy,
not really that good.
You know,
it doesn't really work out much
or kind of just naturally given.
And, you know, he's,
I think he's in his eighth year now,
nineth year coming up,
just signed a really huge deal.
And that's got to grind your gears.
Yeah, you know, I think he was like the, you know,
defensive player of the year for the last seven years straight or something like that.
I'm talking about Aaron Donald's.
You didn't figure that out.
Well, some people at home.
Yeah, some people are stupid.
Anyway, he's a fucking great player.
If you guys couldn't read that sarcasm, then I don't know what to tell you.
Anyway, Aaron Donald, hold on.
Here's the aggregated headline.
because you're on a big time podcast now.
Bo Allen hates Aaron Donald.
Yeah.
Bo Allen hates Aaron Donald's family.
That's the perfect.
He thinks his career is better.
No,
watching him kind of drives me crazy
because it's like all the things that I
physically could never do.
You know, like you see him,
I remember I'll never forget one time
like trap lock, you know what I mean?
Or like a trap.
He's getting a trap.
Pull, backside guards,
come to kick him out.
He gets up.
field spins around it makes a TFL and I'm watching this show on repeat for like five minutes like
how the fuck did did you do this um it's unbelievable yeah but I think the thing what I was going to say is
like the thing about you know not playing anymore is now that I have a lot of buddies that are
retired it's maybe not quite as hard but you see your your friends that you're so close with you know
like I'm I have a place on Tampa still from my time with the box and like so my really good friends
are still on the team and it's like god just that fomo you know I'm a
big phomo guy.
You are.
Fuck,
where these guys doing it at?
What's going on?
Like,
what's this Wednesday practice look like?
So that's what I think.
You get fomo about shit that's not even fun.
Yeah,
but football is not fun,
man.
Yeah,
exactly.
You know who I hate on,
Bo?
I want to hate on him,
but I can't because he's too fucking good.
It's T.J.
Watt.
Have I ever said anything negative about T.J.
Watt on here?
Let me police myself because I constantly have the urge to hate on him.
He's just so fucking good.
he has such amazing ankle flexion and such great Ben and such long arms god damn it and he's a white guy
dude he's a white guy walking around there and and the reason i want to hate on him is because
you know i feel like the elephant in the room if my family's looking at the game is like why
weren't you that good he's white i'm like he he's got that uh that gene that j j has too where
like they make fucking plays man you know like they'll guess they'll guess
on a boot and it'll be right and it'll be like a 15 yard sack and like holy fuck that's a little hating
from you though guessing on a booze guessing now okay let me rephrase that like like not get like
you just feel it pre-snap maybe i don't know sorry i got my mom here she's bringing me some lunch
chris you want to say hey how are you you didn't know you're going to make it on the pot did
no it's so good to have you on the pot i haven't seen you since uh beau made us go to that
bar in philly uh where all the 18 year olds were because his
siblings were underage New Year's Eve 2018.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, good times.
I kind of finessed Chris on that one.
He sure did.
He sure did.
He was like, man, I got this killer place.
It's going to be awesome.
My sister was like 19 or 20 at the time.
It was the only bar that would let us in.
So I got like this table, right?
Because this New Year's Eve, like she was stoked about it.
I think, I feel like that's when we played that cold fucking game against the cowboy.
Remember what I was talking about?
We had to play way too long.
dude, I had to play way too long.
Chris and I were playing every fucking snap, dude.
And it was like, I mean, I'm from Minnesota.
It was fucking cold.
Week 17, okay?
They're resting the guys, bro.
They're resting the guys.
I play the whole first half.
It's zero degrees we're tackling Zeke Elliott.
So I'm already having a fucking day.
But I remember at one point looking over,
Chris was like third quarter.
Game was going slow.
And Chris is like, what the fuck are we doing out here, man?
What the fuck are we doing?
They don't have anybody else.
like we played like 50 snaps or something and then afterwards they trick chris to go to this fucking bar
where we're sitting like i got us a table right i was like yeah man it'll be low key it's me and chris
and chris and mrs and meg and meg's there and meg and so happy to ring in the new year with your mom
as i was with yours like the bar was packed to the guilds with underagers like and everyone was
just staring as like, oh my God, that's Chris Long.
He bawled out today against the Cowboys.
Yes, he did.
But I was curious as to why he was bawling out.
Jason Witten was in for six plays.
We had like a conversation.
And then like after the second series, he was like,
see you later, brother.
Like you still,
you,
damn, they still got you in here, huh?
Like Witten was like incensed.
And that was the first quarter, man.
So yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
I knew I was going to be in.
Oh,
that was a good, you know,
I'll fucking take that.
That's some P.
play performance for you boy like
I don't go you know but Chris
Furious face cheeks are all red
Nicole so red dude
Hey can I just go when we woke up
that morning dude I remember looking
out the window at that airport Hilton or wherever we
stayed because I had like a parking lot
and parking garage view
and it was just like the steam coming out of the
the grates were like was like solid
steam dude it's just there was a frozen
sun there were cars out there that
were just smoking and I was like god damn it's it's like a one p.m. game. I can't believe this.
The game finished Dallas six Philadelphia nothing all six points were scored in the fourth
quarter. I did my fucking job. Yeah. Yeah. Brutal that's but anyway, great New Year's Eve.
You know, we had fun. What the fuck? What were even talking about before that? We were talking about
here's where I was going to go. Bo you alluded to your FOMO problem. What are you going to miss the most about
football and what are you going to miss the least i mean the things that you're going to miss the most
right are the guys just spend it surely show the guys every day in the locker room kind of uh you know
i don't know if there's necessarily a career maybe in the military where you're kind of around
a group of very you know similar like minded similar age you know competitive guys and uh where you can
where you have like downtime in the locker room and you kind of just get used to talking about
all your fucking fireman.
Fireman.
We are like less,
less unselfish firemen.
We're at less risk.
We're not actually helping anybody,
but we have a fireman thing going.
Yeah,
but I mean,
that's what I'll never forget.
I had this coach one time that I wasn't a huge fan of.
And so he played in the NFL for a long time.
Good player.
And someone was like,
what do you miss most about the game?
And he was like,
oh, you know, those lights, you know, having all that attention on you. In my mind, I was just like,
what the fuck? Like, if you ask that question to somebody and they don't say like being around the
guys, then it's a real big red flag. Is it though? Is it though? Can I mean, can I say, can I say,
you're asking a noseguard, what he misses about the game? Like, what about competing?
Yes, competing. That's inherently what we miss. Now, the guys, here's my point. I'm not trying to
Zag. I miss the fuck out of the guys, but I feel like we're still tight. You and me. Yeah.
I feel like me and Fletch are still tight. Me and me and Kelsey are still tight with. Nothing
against the guys I'm not still tight with, but you didn't need a hundred friends.
You know, like I really do believe it works itself out. The guys you would have missed,
you stay tight with them. Yeah, but I mean, it's also guys that, you know, you kind of just
naturally drift apart. Other people, you know, guys live in all across the country.
like completely different areas and have you know some fits as fucking seven kids kind of hard
to get a hold of them sometimes you know um but the thing is too is like uh you know we want a
super bowl together which is great all the guys you just listed out for all eagles players i know but
i'm also let me not name i you know how tight i am with these guys still like my group
text with with the rams d line it feels like we're all still together a lot now physically we're
not going to be able we talk about a fishing trip we've got this fishing trip going and
coming up, it's been coming up for two years, right?
William Hayes lives in North Carolina.
You can't get either of us to leave our
fucking houses because we love our kids or
we're taking a nap or working.
Right. And, you know, so, like,
it's hard to physically get together,
but the guys that you, that you
really have meaningful relationships
with. And that's one great thing about
having Nate here is, like,
it's not just the fact that we're
tight, but it's the fact that we all
understand each other.
That is, that's, that's going to be a hard
thing for you in retirement, which you'll adjust better to than most because you can get along
with anybody and all that. But like, we are a little bit different. I'm not saying we're better.
We're just, we're wired differently and we're used to a different level of like whatever that is.
And by that I don't mean attention. By that I mean like fucking chaos, uh, stress. You know,
the whole thing like goofiness. We can do the goofiest shit at our jobs. We're also the most
uncomfortable at our jobs out of most people we can get away with a lot I think yeah you can get
like football players and get away with a lot but no so the guys absolutely miss the most you know
competing at a high level where like you feel like it's really on the line like definitely miss that
one other thing I was thinking about is like just having a such a regimented schedule I feel like
is good for someone like man.
That's a big one, dude.
That's gonna come up.
Yeah.
So that's something I'm trying to force,
force myself into.
Yeah, but then like,
it's other small shit that,
that I kind of like,
fuck, I'm gonna miss that.
It's, uh,
I used to steal so many,
so many brand new pairs of socks on game day.
So,
you know,
with the little,
yeah,
with the socks with a little ankle padding,
bro,
you come up,
you come over by the Allen household.
You'll see probably like,
my old man's got him on,
uncle.
Everybody's rock.
My dad is rocking my grades, dude.
It's the same thing, dude.
We outfitted, like, an entire family.
You're talking about the ankle socks, like the no-shows that have, like, the puff in the back to make sure you don't get a blister?
No, but those socks are fucking pure, man.
I mean, I need to talk to some of my buddies and, you know, maybe bribing equipment a manager or something.
Get some more of those fucking socks.
Those things are fresh.
Yeah, they're sweet, dude.
I got a whole drawer of gray.
It's shit like that, too.
Stealing supplements from the facility and stuff, you know?
Yeah, like, hey, how about, hey, even the days when, hey, if on the offhand chance, my wife was out of town or my family was out of town, you could definitely bring to go boxes home.
But also, like, hey, you're sitting at home, you're bored playing Xbox for the first hour you've had free all day because at this point you're institutionalized and you have to feel like you're in the facility.
You could drive to the facility and get a hot tub and a cold tub and a fucking snack bar and a Gatorade.
And I think I'll sit in the steam room to sweat some more.
more today. Like that's the like you're part of a country club dude. It's a really
difficult country club to get into and it's a motherfucker. It's not all fun. But at the
end of the day you got a sweet facility right there. Yeah. The locker room is your fucking
spot, you know, or you know there's going to be a guy or two in there too if you're bored.
Just rip in there in the offseason or something. Sproles. Shoot the shit.
Sprouls used to be in a locker room all the fucking time. There'd be nobody in the building
and I'd be like, man, I wish somebody was here. I walk around the corner and Sproles
would be there just sitting in his stool
all the time. You know, he just
got some fucking workout in now, you know.
Yeah, or JP. JP practically
lived there.
Yeah.
Playing pool in the back
by himself. That's the thing. Like, when you
say you miss, when I say I miss
the guys, I mean, to your credit, yeah,
like you're definitely going to keep in touch with your boys
and, you know, everybody. And it's a lot
easier now with Instagram, social
media, Twitter, whatever. But like,
you know, you said Sproles.
Fucking best pro ever, best guy ever.
probably never interact with Darren Sproulson more for football.
You know what I mean?
I mean, obviously, but you get what I'm saying?
Like a locker room puts together so many guys from so many different areas that are so fucking cool
and you get close with these guys that you never would have been exposed without football.
And that's something that I think I'll miss.
But retirement didn't do that.
The team would have done that.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Whether it was the team did that to us.
But you're not going to find somebody of,
you know, Darren Sproul's caliber
working at fucking State Farm. No, no
question. In a
way, yeah, I mean, like,
I don't want to be like an elitist
here for people listening to do a bunch of other
jobs that are just as important and harder
and more difficult, but Sproles is an
amazing person, to
Bo's point. And yeah, you're not going to see
those guys anymore. You're right. Like,
there are some really rare individuals in
locker rooms. Like, I don't get to be around a lot of Matt
Slaters out and about.
I guess I wasn't necessarily trying to
shit on State Farm. I was more so trying to
gas up. Gas up
sproles a little bit. It's one of our sponsors
so yeah. I was like
Jesus. My best stay farm. I'm just joking. I'm about
to go through the roof. I'm just joking. We haven't
we don't have a State Farm deal. You don't
miss game day? Is that
that goes without saying?
I mean, I love game day, dude,
but some games are just
such a fucking ground. Like we played Dallas
you know, when their hey they have
running the ball with Zeke and that old line and
like they're going to run dive solid.
30, 40 fucking times.
It's a lot of, you know, that's a lot, that's a grind for me.
That's a lot of living.
That's a lot of living, though.
You're, you're fucking, you're in the arena.
You love it.
Yeah, you love it.
You love it.
You love game day.
Definitely going to miss game day, but, you know, I would say like a couple times a year,
it's, you're really, you're really working.
No question.
No question.
But you love it.
So it's not, like, I got.
don't want everyone at home to be sitting here like god
this motherfucker just retired from a great career
like whatever
all he's doing is bitching about it
not we're being honest we're being honest
this is like fuck some some games
are a grind that's all I'm saying
you could bitch you can bitch if you want to
you you went through it so
yeah you got the right but it's a love
hate thing like you love it and there's things about it that you hate
and there's things about that you love so much and the end of the day
obviously the good outweighs the bad
so that was the good list
Now let's talk about the bad list
He's like man
I don't anybody think I'm just bitching about this awesome game that I love
Now let's move on to the stuff I don't like about it
Let me tell you about when I signed in Tampa
Okay you know fresh off of the Eagles
Super Bowl victory
And I signed down to Tampa and I remember
I'll never forget Trey Burton was like congrats man
You're gonna love Tampa it's beautiful down there
It's really really hot though
And I was like yeah okay all right
You know, all right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely really hot.
I get it.
It's Florida.
Dude, that first camp, you know, I went in.
I was probably 3.30.
You know, I finished that last season in Philly, probably like 3.30-ish.
I was so goddamn hot you would not believe.
They would, I mean, I grew up in Minnesota, okay?
You weigh yourself before and after practice, you know what I'm talking about?
And to, like, try to get higher.
I would lose, like, 20 pounds a day.
I'd be throwing up an individual, dude.
Every day.
It was horrible.
Probably like every other day, yeah.
Just heat, pure heat.
Just, you know, rip a quick barf on the side of the side of the sled.
So like basically those heat, those hot summer practices, you know, we're like, like period 10.
You're taking every step you take.
There's a sweat, you know, coming out the top of your shoes.
Ooh, I like that.
I didn't like, I hated, I hated period one in camp.
My least favorite time in football was the first 30 minutes of a training camp practice.
God.
Trying to get going.
Yeah, trying to get going.
Once you're going,
like you're already dead, dude.
I'm in the pool, bro.
Like, you know what I mean?
Hell, take us go to nine on seven.
But I'm with you, though.
It's that heat.
It's the heat that's so hot you can almost hear it.
I know I sound high right now,
but we used to walk outside.
The louder those heat bugs were,
as Michael Brockers called them,
they're just cicadas.
The louder that the bugs were,
you could fucking,
you almost just knew how hot you can feel,
you can taste it.
it in the fucking air, dude.
It activates all your senses, bro.
I mean, in Tampa that time of the year, like August, it's so humid too.
It'll, you know, it'll just rain in like a mid afternoon or whatever.
But you go out and you look at there's just giant bucks flag.
It's like, it was huge.
And if that thing wasn't moving at all, it wasn't waving in the wind, you knew you're in
for a long day, man.
And guys would just walk out and just shake their head just, you know.
Yes.
Fuck yeah, dude.
So that's one.
I mean, here's another one, underrated one, is I got a couple.
One is like West Coast night game, you know, you get back like 6 a.m.,
especially after a loss.
Brutal, brutal.
And then or or you walk, you know, kind of along that same thing.
I was like walking into the building Monday morning or Tuesday morning, you know, after a loss
and just kind of looking at everyone around the facility.
The sadness Olympics, dude.
The sadness Olympics.
Everybody's got to be walking around there
with their fist clenched or you're getting cut.
Which coach took this loss
the hardest?
Who's really putting the blame on themselves for this week?
You know?
Special teams coach always.
Oh, hey, that's fucking good, dude.
Special teams coach always.
That is good stuff.
Oh, man.
But honestly, Dave Fipp didn't really do that in Philly.
I just want to shout him out.
It's not that I'm saying.
No, great coach.
Now, Joe Judge is a great coach,
but he was upset after losses.
I mean, everybody in New England is fucking mad after loss.
It's like, hey, Bill, I'm mad.
And then St. Louis Bones, Fossil was fucking, he'd come in.
And ironically, he was the guy that lift you up after loss.
I think the D-line coaches have to be heard.
I think they feel like they have to be heard.
Especially after like, you know, you only got like one or two sacks or something or like
team runs like 150, 200 yards.
and he grinds a clock down in the fourth course
we're fucking tougher you man we gotta set the
tone it's like well here's the thing
though I'm telling you what that comes from
there's a couple issues number one
D-line coaches are working at a deficit
because they feel insecure about the fact that we haven't done
shit all week like really like we're pretending
to watch film because our schemes
are generally pretty simple
what you watch in your own time is where
you figure out like the next level of
D-line play and then second
the problem is it's very simple
to boil down rushing yard
to the D-line, except there's a million gaps on the field, and they all change.
Except you're playing cover two into fucking, you know, 12, 13 personnel, and they were on the ball
for 150 hours.
Or how about the fucking rookie corner just makes a business decision?
You know, like Trent Williams is pulling, and the rookie corner runs to the sideline
instead of, you know, like, or somebody misses a tackle dead and the whole Bose
holding up two guys and the linebacker whiffs.
like this is not our fault you know but the D-line coaches they feel that way because they're easy
targets it's always our fault when the ball is wrong Chris and when the ball is thrown too because
hey we got to get there we got to get there we got to get there what else did what else won't you
miss that's about it about shitting around other men dude I don't have that problem bro I'm a private
pooper I'm sneaking them in places you'd never expect that's why you got to get to that bathroom
behind the, through the NovaCare Center.
There's like a secret, there's a secret.
There's a secret portal to like a,
everybody knows, all the vets know where a secret bathroom is
in the NFL.
How about the anxiety, the anxiety from just seeing
if you're gonna make the roster or new guys coming in,
new players coming in, things like that?
It's tough to like, to feel that for,
like not feel it for guys, but just the vibe
of the whole building is just so tight.
And then like, you know, like,
then the,
the room cuts down in half and everybody's supposed to be happy, but you know a bunch of people died.
Like you're like everybody's like just talked about that.
Like, or that's a good question.
Any guys that, did you ever feel like you didn't want to get close with a teammate that you maybe thought like, oh, this is a cool kid?
But you knew, hey, he's probably not going to be here next week.
Yeah.
I mean, not necessarily like that.
There's always like me in the beginnings.
I think me in the beginning.
I think he was like, man, I like this guy.
but they got them practicing on field three.
Yeah.
This comes on a field goal,
field goal block with me.
Like you might not be a rock,
you are.
No,
no,
no.
The best one they had you sharing a locker
during camp,
bro.
Oh my God.
How mad was I?
But I was justifiably mad,
bro.
I was an absolute fuck this mode.
You were like really mad,
but it was like,
it was like a little conversation during camp,
like during the lab.
No,
no,
so my,
so 2017,
when I got to Philly,
I always told this.
story. We go do the first AOTAs. Like me and Bo were tight right away. Like we, you know,
we hit it off. But it was kind of like, I don't know if you were on field one, but they, they,
they ran me over to field two or three. And I'm getting over there. And I'm like, didn't I just
see this motherfucker in the 2016 tape playing D line? They just converted this guy from a D-Lyme into a tackle,
and I'm rushing against him over here on field three. I go, I know exactly who you're talking about, too.
That's a chance of me. And I whipped, I whooped him left-handed.
bro. This is after you won the ring.
Yeah, it's after New England, bro.
They, what they were doing in Philly was
what they were seeing if I was a good locker room guy.
They were testing me. And then we go to the first scrimmage.
And they had me in a shared locker with,
with a rookie.
So I'm in there and fucking like bumping into some guy's ass
trying to put my pads on.
Oh, they were trying you.
Yeah, well, so it was so funny, though,
because the people that had been around were kind of like,
like you walk in a locker
for the first time, you know, in the preseason or whatever
and you're kind of like,
oh, I wonder where they put my shit this year or like,
you know, they do like the little changes or whatever
every off season. And so you're kind of like
looking around seeing where they got everybody.
And it's like, you see they got all the D-Lyman.
Chris is sharing a locker. It's like,
I wanted to say some shit to you about it so bad.
But like, I took a look at it,
but I could tell he's actually really butt hurt about it.
Yeah, dude.
I don't even say anything.
And not even it's not even your ego.
It's more just like, God damn it, this is a lot of work.
I'm doing a lot of work right now for this.
It's one of those like small annoying things that like just gets under your skin.
That's kind of just overall representative of something else.
But so to answer your question, Dr. Fax, it's not like you never, I always love, you know,
I actually really loved, you know, the young players who, you know, like they kind of know,
they're going to get cut, but they're going to do everything they can so that at the end of the day,
like, they're, you know, they're happy. But I think the one, and I never had any problem,
like, trying to fucking help those guys out or except, like, I was a seventh round pick, dude,
for four years in Philly. I thought I was getting cut every fucking day, like, seriously.
Um, but the ones that I think hurt the most are like the guys that are like,
fifth, six, seventh round picks or like late draft picks that like don't really know,
like they think they made it. Like, this is the highlight of their life. And it is, it is. You know
what I mean, but like, they don't understand, like, there's going to be 53 dudes on this team,
and it is not going to be you.
You start doing that math, bro.
Yeah.
Yeah, and they don't really pick it up, pick up on it.
And, like, all the other guys that kind of, the guys that have been around for a little
bit are kind of talking about, like, because there's really only, you know, what, five real
roster battles in camp, you know?
Yeah, usually, like, on the actual team.
And then the special teams guys, like, they're really out there getting it.
That's all it is.
You got to make the, you got to make the punt here.
You got to have, you got to have, like, yeah, the more you can do.
Got to make the, you know, are they going to try to hide a guy on I.
Are they going to, you know, try to hide this guy on P Squad?
But then the ones that hurt, though, are the guys that, like, you know as a vet that they're not going to make the team.
Like, week two or three of camp.
Yeah.
And they don't know.
And you see impulped a facility in this fucking brand new Mustang.
And they're talking about this house that they're looking at for the season.
And you're just like, yo, man, like, let me, like, let me, like, come here real quick.
in the hot tub like let's fucking let me tell you how this actually is going to go like
here's how this thing's going to go down there's going to be a guy that you've you're not
sure if you've seen him before but he's he looks like a coach and he's going to have all
your stuff and an iPad he's just going to run up on you call him the grim reaper
just know how was hazing your rookie year did you did you did you did you have tough vets
um we didn't have like this is going to sound fucked up but like we didn't have
like formalized hazing, you know.
So my first year was Chip Kelly's first year and he kind of was
adamant, I guess, about kind of treating everybody the same.
But there's still hate.
I mean, it's not, you know, I had a rookie meal and it shit sucked.
And, you know, carrying pads off for guys.
But like, I was more the mentality of like, I was just trying to shut the fuck up
my rookie year.
And like, thankfully, like, for real, though, it was like, you know, I became good
buzz of Kels my rookie year because we would work on stuff after practice.
Like he legitimately helped me out a lot.
Because he, like, it was a bad matchup for him, you know,
if I was like bull rushing him and stuff like that.
And it was bad matching for me if I had to two gap him on like outside zone stuff.
So we would work on a lot of different stuff.
Talk shop and we got along pretty well.
And so, you know, you get, but like, you know how you get haze.
Like, it's not, it's like subtle shit a lot of the times.
Like, it's not, you know.
No, there's no.
The H word is misleading.
Like, people imagine like this formalized hazing.
They stopped doing that in football facilities a while ago.
but a lot of times they'll cut hair
you know they'll make guys sing
yeah singing
I mean I wasn't gonna let I've had long hair
I'm not like that's
that's what I'm wondering because like a lot of
times the where the rubber meets the road
is guys that don't want to get their haircut
especially dudes with dreads because I'm like
dude you've been working on that a long time
and you know what sucks I tell like
you know what sucks about that
like I'm good bro
you guys if you really want him to get his haircut you're going to have
to do that, bro. This is a grown man. What sucks about that situation? He also is jacked. I'm like,
Jesus Christ, his rookie's big. Like, I'm 33. What always sucks about that situation, it's usually
a guy that shouldn't be dictating, hey, cut his hair that's doing it. It's not a, it's never
like a star or a quarterback that's like, hey, guys, like, it's just, like, you're, you're part
of the team now. You got to do it. It's always a guy that you're like, yo, you might not even be here
by the middle of the season.
Like, why would I cut my hair?
Very excited.
For, because you're saying it,
and you're getting upset saying I'm like,
I'm not being a good rookie.
We used to try.
We used to be like,
hey,
we're doing haircuts,
and it was almost like a test to see
if you knew you had any agency.
And if you were like,
nah,
I was like,
all, cool.
You know,
like,
fuck, dude.
Hey,
but imagine how that would look.
Let me give you one more look at this.
You sure?
Nah, bro.
I'm good.
What it's like to be a rookie, man?
You're already worried about making the team.
Now, like, damn.
Now I'm going back to my dorm room thinking, like, all these guys hate me because I don't want to cut my hair.
Also, the last thing you want to do is fight some hungry rookie rookie in the bathroom from North Carolina A&T, dude.
Because you don't know.
You have no intel on them.
He's been training harder than I've trained in a decade.
I'm working smart at this stage.
He's been on top-tier meal preps for the past.
12 weeks
This kid just looks just like the fucking guy
I saw at the combine with his shirt off
and he's standing right in front of me
and he's hair cut
Imagine getting worked out
like the first two weeks
by a rookie in the locker room
And you're a vet
It's not worth the wrist
If you're willing, hey
You know how hey
And if I'm gonna
If I got any living left to do
I'm gonna be willing to die for that inch
All that, oh Pacino bullshit
Goes out the window
When there's a lot to lose
When the rookie is built like
fucking, I don't know.
Anybody.
He's got traps and shit.
No, I'm good.
Chris,
we had Vita Veza as a rookie.
Is my family in danger?
Fuck, yeah.
We're all doing like rookie haircuts and stuff.
And like some of the rookies are kind of like about it a little bit, you know,
which is,
it's like,
let's not be too eager about this guys.
It kind of takes a fucking fun away.
But,
uh,
Vita,
right?
He's just 360 pounds.
It's fucking huge.
He's a rookie.
And we're all like,
are we,
are we,
he's got really long hair,
right?
And we're like,
are we going to
try to cut this guy's hair?
Like,
can we get some fucking tranks from that?
Like,
can we get some fucking ketamine and slip in his fucking meal?
His post-workout shake.
So we're kind of just like feeling out like,
all right,
be like,
you know,
you're trying to do his rookie haircuts or what?
He's like,
no,
no,
I'm going to.
And we're like,
all right.
So we just fucking shirt his eyebrows off.
Like,
that's going to.
That's worse.
Hey,
how about that,
though?
like they're at the dinner they're at the lunch table and they're building up the courage to do this for like a day and he's just like nah but i got i mean i have long hair too someone cut my hair be fucking pissed i'm like i was basically like hey man like we're not going to cut your hair but uh like let's get those eyebrows you know what do you think's the maddest you ever got in the NFL oh dude that is a good question because i don't really get you don't that's why i'm curious what it took.
Because I play my best games
And I'm just kind of like
You know
Level
Not too high, not too low
Yeah exactly
All right Villanaueva shows up your rookie year
What's the buzz in the locker room?
Like I think maybe we have a guy
Who might have killed a guy
Yeah so I mean
He
First of all he's fucking huge right
But he was a D-Lignment with me
So he was a two guy
But that was before he switched to all line
With the Steelers
But
The funniest thing
because, like, he was a wide receiver in college, like a red zone fade ball wide receiver,
which is fucking insane to me because he's legitimately six foot nine.
I think he probably finished up.
He was probably like 350 pounds.
But I'll never forget.
And we got close, you know, because you're, when you're a rookie, like, you just kind of hang
out at the kiddie table with the other rookies.
He was a rookie too, you know, technically.
But, like, he had the funniest weight of, like, putting perspective on things, right?
So like, you know how I was bitching about the heat earlier, like losing all that weight in the heat.
I'd be on the phone at breakfast during dog days of camp looking at the forecast.
Like, oh, man, it's fucking, you know, 90 degrees, 80 percent humidity.
And he'd be like, yeah, well, you know what we do when we're on patrol?
We grab a fucking 20-ounce bottle of water.
And then we'd get ready to go and patrol for 14 hours.
I'm back, yep.
Yeah, yeah, we'll be all right.
But he still had to do all of his, like, Army Ranger.
all the Army Ranger protocol where they had to like run certain times and stuff.
So we would get done with practice like Chip Kelly's fucking fast-ass practice where we're doing like, you know, 48 plays during a given, you know, run pap session.
And then the rookies, you know, usually like stick around after like get more work on stuff.
And then after that, Al would go fucking run laps around the practice field at like 330, 340 pounds.
Or like we get in on a Monday because, you know, OTAs.
like Monday to Thursday.
I'm like, how's your weekend, man?
What did you get going on?
Like, your boy was at the bar or playing video games.
And I was like, oh, yeah, I had to drive down to Georgia to do my like physical fitness
stuff.
And I was like, yeah, I just got out of the car.
It was a 14 hour drive.
Like, oh, oh, okay.
Like, this dude is just on another level.
You know what I mean?
I mean, it's amazing how much success he had.
Like, and I'm not saying that because he wasn't good.
I'm saying because when you consider all the things that you just laid out, like the fact
the guy was a wide receiver, uh, then a D-Lyman.
and he was an Army Ranger
and then he ends up in the NFL
and not just a good player
like he was a Pro Bowl kind of guy
dude so
yeah that's pretty fucking cool
and you also play with Tebow
another American hero
I did play with Tim Tebow
yes I did
so what do we think man Tim Tebow
he uh what's he like
bro so
good guy
so
we're with Tebow
what
I didn't even, you're such a fucker, dude.
We were with Tebow.
I don't even remember that way you, that was.
Yeah, maybe 2015.
Let's just say.
Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.
You looked that up, huh?
I was a big Tebow fan at high school because we'd play NCAA, like, you know, the fucking...
Greatest college player of all the time.
2009 or whatever, and me and my buddies in high school, we'd play like the option challenge with Florida.
And we, it was a stupid fucking.
mini game and NCAA football.
So we like had this running joke about Tebow and like how pure he was.
He's like God's gift to, you know, football.
So it's pretty fun to come back around and, you know, have him as a teammate,
get to know him in the locker room, you know, check him out a little bit, talk to him, you know.
Check him out.
All right, right.
See what he's about.
Remember one time we signed Tebow, because like it was the off season, like,
fucking dead part of the off season, but we all work out of it.
and Novacare.
Me and Kelsey and Connor and Selk and shit.
And Selk's all juiced up
in the breakfast line or whatever
talking about, dude, we fucking signed Tebow.
He's fucking sick. He's going to be so good for us.
So like, they're like,
oh yeah, they're about to go work them out right now.
So we go out and we're watching them throw balls
to fucking like stationary receivers.
Some of the worst footballs I've ever seen thrown here.
And selling just goes,
what the fuck?
That's the best college football.
football quarterback all time.
It is the funniest shit ever,
dude, ever.
And like,
Selling is dogging him out.
And then we go workout.
We're all eating lunch later.
Tebow,
like,
finish up.
He's like,
hey,
mind if I join you guys?
Like,
sit down and talking to us.
Like,
nicest dude ever.
Little to know,
we were all fucking crushing him earlier,
watching him trying to football.
Hangers.
Hey,
he called me a hater earlier.
They're out there watching Tim Tifo's workout,
just dog cussing him.
This is the most recognized.
college football player of all time
this dude came to throw a football 10 years. That would have been
the funniest fucking story. The transition
of Selk being like, dude,
we got Tebow, like he's going to fucking help us up.
And then literally five minutes later,
he's like, what the fuck are we doing?
You know, why the
fuck are we signing this guy? Bro,
who do you think got it the worst in
Philly?
I'm trying to think about that, man.
Like, Aguilar got some memes.
Nellie got some memes. But then he got to
He got to win because he got a Super Bowl, then he fell off the horse,
and then he ended up getting like a bag and playing great.
Yeah.
I actually, you know, there's nobody I love more than Jason Kelsey,
but I'll never forget the early years with Chip.
He had a couple stretches where like some bad snaps, you know,
and I hope I hope Cal still didn't hear this,
but my boy was getting dogged out on social media.
And I remember seeing him, like,
like looking up his name on Twitter and just sitting there like you know how Kelsey gets all worked up
about shit you know coming the next week like all this social media is deleted
fucking so Kelse went through it a little bit but you the thing about Kelsey is like you know
how much he takes that stuff to heart yeah dude we yeah yeah Joe from south philly is talking
shit about Kelsey's bad snaps you know he is fucking thinking about it all night it hurts because
Kelsey cares he cares dude he wants to win he wants to be
you want that you want guys names searching themselves after the game in anguish you know like
you know what's coming and you do it anyway i'm trying i mean i think there's been a i don't want
i never like to mention specific names you know but there's been some wide receivers that have
yeah i'll do it i'll do it this is my job at this point whether you're part of the media yet
that's yet to be seen but uh the the poor guy j jrthago white side has had a rough run
dude. I mean, there was a play, I think, in the Dallas game last year that it got so bad that
like there were three terrible plays and everybody was booing like hell. This was weak, I think 17,
one of these things. Michael Parsons didn't play. And he dropped the ball and I was like, yep,
he's dead. Like there's no chance now. He was already dead. He's like underneath the graveyard
now in Philly. And you just hate it because honestly, football players, this is one thing that
the general public doesn't get. I always qualify all our job is hard, all this stuff.
You can do something poorly on a football field and that can follow you your whole life.
It's the first thing people think of. It's how they judge you personally. They make assertions
as to what you're like because of that. Yep. And you just weren't good at football, dude.
It's a really hard sport.
Or you just had one fucking bad day.
Or you had just one bad play that just impacted the seasons.
I mean, look at like, I think like Cody Parky, you know, I played with him in Philly.
He was the Bears kicker at the double doin.
Great guy.
But it's like, it's fucking so frustrating to think that that's going to follow you forever.
It's like, it's like Ace Ventura, man.
Yeah, right.
Finkel.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Scott Norwood.
Scott Norwood.
Everybody always says, everybody always says,
well, they get fucking paid a lot.
First off, Scott Norwood probably had to work
after he stopped playing,
like most players who play in the 90s.
But also, what amount of money
would you accept to be Scott Norwood?
You at home.
I'm saying you at home, because they'll say,
oh, you guys all have money.
You don't know.
I'm telling you it wouldn't be that fucking easy, dude.
It wouldn't be that fucking easy being Scott Norwood.
It also wouldn't be easy being Parky.
it wouldn't be easy being the kid
for the saints that
no-showed on the tackle of digs
in the Minneapolis miracle.
I got a long list of these guys because I feel
for them every time it happens.
Every time it happens, you just get that sinking
feeling in your stomach and also a little
of relief like, oh God, thankfully
it wasn't me. A lot of that.
A lot of that, dude.
A lot of that. I mean,
there's a big difference between being a fucking noseguard
and having a run, you know, hitting your gap
for like seven yards versus
being a receiver and dropping a touchdown pass or you know missing a crucial kick in a game and
people don't fucking know when I'm fucking up as a noseguard but they know when a quarterback or a
bad snap is just you know let's talk about when you were fucking up as a noseguard 2015 November
22nd versus the bucks 27 for 235 for Doug martin what happened that day oh that was a bad day
dude. And Jay Boo was
balling. Dude, that was a
fucking bad day. That's
one of those days like we talked about earlier where the
DeLine coach comes in.
But that one was a little bit deserved.
We got absolutely
fucking ran on, man. Thanks for
bringing that up, Chris. No problem. No problem.
We got a whole research department
here. Yeah. Chris has got receipts.
You think I was just going to blow you for an hour
about your career?
Why else would I come on the show?
That's true.
That's true.
He was like, I got as much time as you need.
I'm being eulogized.
Yeah, exactly.
Send me up.
Let me right off from the sunset.
There should be a podcast about everybody when they die.
There should be an hour-long podcast about everybody when they die, no matter what.
And it should be done by a famous person.
That would incentivize you to live right, wouldn't it?
Like, they just kind of go through your failures.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Like, you want to be.
spoken highly of you don't not you don't want too many Doug Martin nights talk to me about
Doug Martin good I mean I I'd never play with him in Tampa actually but uh all the all the guys
no that night that night but what happened was it the A gap was it the B gap all the above man
I don't know what to tell you it was a D P out there in gap yeah D line didn't play well
obviously but there was an individual on our defense that day that had one of the worst
of anybody I've ever seen in my life.
I'm not going to say who it was, but...
Bad. It was not me.
Go watch the tape. Go pull that shit up, all 22.
Damn.
He's going out dry snitching on the homies.
Yeah.
Yeah, someone's going to fucking be searching their name.
All right. Let's talk about the best players you play with.
And then we're going to do this draft here.
So, like, if you, if you could, the five best players you played with,
and excluding Tom Brady, who you almost play with.
That had the fucking suck almost playing with Tom Brady.
I know you were excited, but you were close.
Ships in the night.
I'm sure he feels the same way about throw out.
He does.
He does, dude.
The one that got away.
Give me the top five players that you play with.
Yeah.
I mean, it's hard because in terms of like just best football players.
Best football players, like linear scale,
one to 100 guys that have a shot to go to camp.
I mean, I don't think there's anybody that does
plays, you know,
this specific brand of football better than Kelsey.
And I know we fucking suck him off all the time.
But it's,
there isn't anybody that just pre-snap,
you know, also in the locker room,
but, uh,
blocking on the second level, being mobile,
using all the little vet tricks and all the technique stuff.
against guys that are at this point, you know, physically, you know, bigger,
stronger, faster.
I got mad love for Kelsey.
That trash can did not stand a chance that day.
Not a chance.
All the stuff you just listed, all those accolades, all that greatness.
Remember Twitter?
Trash, trash dude got punked, dude.
Remember Twitter?
Remember Twitter caught him in the indoor that day?
And by the way, I, as you know, if you listen to this podcast, agree second.
everything Bo just said, but Bo was with him a ton
longer. This fucker's a genuine
article. He's like the best person
but he could get upset in practice
and he did get upset
and took it out on a trash can and one of the
reporters put it on Twitter.
Oh yeah. Cardi B was playing in the indoor.
I guarantee it, bro. That
video is burned into my brain, bro.
I remember we're on the other side of the field.
Whatever. Dude, that shit was so... You're so goofy
after practice because you're so tired and the workday's done.
You've been there like a million hours.
you just laughed so hard at shit
and this happened at like 240.
Look at him.
You know when he's mad.
He's motioning.
He's saying something.
He's walking away from the people.
Boom.
Out the door, dude.
And there's Joe the trainer smirking
as he walks out the door like,
all right, Kelsey,
walk it off.
He's talking to Chance Warmac, Isaac.
They're like, fuck.
He gets like this.
Accelerates Martin Gramatica
through the trash can.
Boom.
Out the door.
He wanted the door to hit the wall.
And there's the trainer smirking.
So fucking good.
Brooks is like,
get this motherfucker out of here.
He kicked that thing super hard.
Yeah,
he was funny,
dude.
All right,
top five,
number one,
Jason Kelsey.
Oh,
Brooks.
That's another one.
No,
no order.
See,
like,
that's the thing.
I play the,
no order.
No order.
No order.
So for my time in Tampa,
uh,
this is like a duo.
But Mike Evans and Chris,
Godwin are two unbelievable
wide receivers like Mike
Mike makes this shit look so easy
and he's had like a thousand yards
receiving I think every year he's been in the NFL
and I think people take that for granted a little bit
I mean I was it eight years in row
or something I think something like that it's really
crazy and um Chris is like
he's like you're you know
underappreciated
unbelievable workhorse blocks his ass off
does everything right
battles through injuries,
works so hard in practice,
does a lot of thankless things that.
So those two,
I mean,
it's,
it's impressive.
I mean,
it's hard too because it feels like I'm biased
towards like guys that are,
you know,
my favorite,
but we played with somebody.
I mean,
you mentioned Brandon Brooks.
Like,
I've played against,
I've played against him a lot in Philly,
you know,
practice and played against him when he was in Houston.
And unbelievable player.
So big.
So,
fucking at his peak so good at his peak he was fucking you know second to nobody and then
same thing with lane lanes up there i put lane up there and then fletch two guys up front
in philly i mean i'm fletcher obviously is an easy one i mean there's i'm trying to think of
some guys that i feel like might fly under the radar will you hate on fletch for a second well let's
hate on fletch and talk about how great he is and talk about all the things we hate about how good
he is.
Man dog.
Dude,
like, you know when you're a rookie
coming in the NFL and you don't, I remember
talking to Fletcher, okay?
And he's telling me all this stuff and like, blah, blah, blah.
And it's, you know, I've been in the,
I think it was his third year in the league at that point.
And then eventually it comes out that he's like fucking nine months older than me or
something like that.
And I was like, what he's going on here?
Like, what the fuck?
like this dude is a freak athlete first round pick i thought he was going to like 30 you know
but he's you know he's 22 just like me she's 23 i'm like what the hell is going on
let's just a dog bro i mean his first step that kind of like the the pure brute strength
like the kind of 90s strength that he plays with he can like stand up and move people like it just
he's amazing so yeah i'm who are so i got to think of some db i mean i got love from now
It's hard, I'm biased.
But, like, I love Fitz more than anything.
He's probably one of my favorite players have ever played with.
So I'm going to throw him in the list.
On the best players.
Fuck, yeah, bro.
You don't stick around the NFL for 50 years like Fitz unless you're really good.
Yeah, but I'm with you on that.
I'm not saying he's not really fucking good.
I'm just saying, like, there's a lot of the five players, man.
I'm looking at guys like Sue, JPP, Fletcher, Tim Tebow.
Yep.
Sproles is a fucking if they would if they would if they would if they would look at it this way
I mean he's a hall of famer depending on how you look at it well Matthew Slater I mean that's
not a joke at all slate is as redefined the you know it's the same thing it's the same thing
JPP what was he like bro we're about to get to the 4th of July thing so jpp is so fucking funny
would not believe.
Like,
getting to know him.
Oh,
yeah,
you guys played,
yeah.
Oh,
yeah,
in New York.
Yeah.
So,
like,
first time you meet him,
he goes to daft you up,
right?
And you're,
it's like slow-mo.
You're sitting there and you're like,
it's happening.
He's coming in.
Yeah.
And then he'll,
he says,
the funniest shit,
too,
like,
talking about how much stuff he's been through.
He's like,
I blew my fucking hand off.
I'm still here.
It's like,
oh,
yeah.
Like,
like,
he'll,
he'll,
he'll,
he's not shy about
talking about that whole thing
talking about everything really man
anything and uh he's got some
unbelievable energy too it's fun
we used to play rock paper scissors
for a per diem money in in tampa
I was another guy too Gerald McCoy
so Gerald and I would play
rock paper scissors for like
you know they give you two 50 dollar bills or
something we'd play for the 50s because we're fucking
degenerate rock paper scissors
so so
so Gerald and I were playing
and then JPP's
I want it, I want it. We're like, all right, man, cool. Didn't even fucking think about it. And he
comes out with the fucking Trump card, play rock paper scissors in his hand. He's like, it's scissors. It's
scissors. It's, bro. Are you doing? It was the funniest shit in the world, man. We gave him.
We gave that one to him. You know, you got to, dude. You got to, bro. And that's why, that's
kind of why Beau's here. We're talking about, we're talking about the Fourth of July. We're talking
about dangerous customs.
We're going to do a quick dangerous customs
draft because 4th of July
has just become, holy shit.
It's like fireworks every year are getting
more dangerous. Were there any
fan customs you didn't like
for any of the teams you played?
Like or dislike
more than others?
This is a safe space.
No fans are going to get offended
at all.
They never do.
I don't even fucking, yeah.
I don't know if I have any.
anything great. I mean, one that I always thought
was really funny is
Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Like,
you cross the 30 yard line or something.
I don't even know. Maybe 20. When you get
in the red zone, they fire off a huge cannon.
Scared the shit out of me, too.
And we're like, it's like military
appreciation day and stuff.
So there's a bunch of like combat vets in
and, you know, they're fired
off the cannons.
We're just doing it anyways.
I'm like, yo, can you fucking read the room
a little bit? Like,
come on so that's one that I thought was real fucked up yeah dude you're like I don't know if I
have any but this is actually awful this is about all I got objectively a bad idea fuck yeah you know
what how about the guys that fire the muskets in new england that could kind of I feel like that
must be dangerous those guys are chill as fuck I really enjoyed getting to know them but yeah
dude by the way y'all got in the red zone a lot when when we played you to open the
season after our Super Bowl run.
It was like a reunion down there.
That was one of the hottest
fucking games I ever played. That was hot.
And you guys, Deshawn Jackson, really
skull fucked us. He really
took it out on us. I was like, dude, I didn't
cut you, please. Retrayed you
or whatever happened. I'm sorry for whatever happened,
but stop.

Let's do this draft.
Basically, the 4th of July's gotten out of control,
Chief Keefe had to hide behind a car.
Okay, like Chief Keefe doesn't hide for anything, dude.
He hit for the fireworks because they were going crazy in his driveway.
Everybody's seen the ring camera deal.
It's dangerous.
It's out of hand, bro.
I'm not into fireworks up close.
Yeah, and then the YouTuber.
light in the Pikachu. Did you see that video, Bo? He liked
I saw that. I saw that. Yeah.
That guy was kind of good sport about it though.
The fire department had the cone.
There was a video I saw too of people like driving around
Minneapolis like just shooting Roman candles at people outside their car,
which was insane. Yeah.
Yeah, it's definitely getting a little bit of control. It's insanity. No,
eight miles with the paintball gun. It's it's I don't like and it's because my brother
Howie, shout out to dirty Harry.
who comes in the pod now but shout out dirty Harry dirty Harry is like a fucking pyro and I don't
know what it is like that happens to make somebody a pyro but uh my brother like insists on lighting
him off so I've just been every fourth of July I have to watch how he drunkenly and confidently
way too confidently light these fucking things off and I'm just waiting for somebody's hand to get
blown off so I am anti up close fireworks the perfect distance is about I'd say a quarter mile
If I can be a quarter mile away from a big show, that's my perfect firework experience.
Yeah.
I don't like to be that close either because when you're close to you get that floating like
ash rain or like that debris sometime that comes down.
Get a little piece of plastic.
Yeah.
And you never know like someone like you never know what can happen with that.
Hey motherfucker.
And I always think about like the fireworks just happening to like redirect like.
redirect like just like it's just one of those things what if it just struck a struck a luck it just
happens to redirect to the crowd like we see all these videos happen but even with the big shows it's
just like you're saying like half a mile that that or a quarter mile that still might not be
far enough away how far some of these fireworks are going up so if they're going a different direction
the other night at a quarter mile i felt pretty good so anyways we agreed the fourth of july is a
dangerous custom. It is an American custom.
And we will be conducting a draft on the most dangerous customs that go on around the world.
Cowboy Reed, anything I'm not laying out here.
No, I think you did great.
Just make sure that, uh, be able to pronounce all the airports when, you know, that we're
talking about for all these customs.
Oh.
All the customs in the airport.
Oh, that's okay.
I guess good.
You, right?
You nailed this draft.
You really did.
That's the, that's pretty fucking good, Reed.
And then, uh, and then Nate, um, no.
No arguing with the judge today.
The judge is...
Stop questioning my integrity.
He gave you a fucking win yesterday.
And I got the random order for this draft.
It's Chris first,
Beau, second.
Here we go.
I bet.
You're third and read your fourth.
Digging up dead people.
That's what they do in Indonesia
in the Sulawesi region.
Every six years or three years,
they dig up dead people.
seen this they dig up their dead friends and they dig them up and they change their clothes and
do all types of creepy shit with uh with the yeah dude sounds dangerous doesn't it yeah sounds dangerous
that's how like new um pandemics start and shit like that you don't dig up dead people that have
been underground for three years they sit around with them and like have a beer it's like a fun
thing for people out there it's a custom that should stop first overall pick people no offense of
course, the people of the Sulawesi Island region, stop digging up dead people. It's usually
after the August harvest. So if anybody in Indonesia is listening right now, can you deliver that
message, please? Respectfully. Is that a bad pick? Chris, you did some research. First of all,
when I'm fucking dead and gone, you can dig me up and have a beer with me anytime you want,
buddy. You know where to find me. Anyway, I'm going with the low-hanging fruit, running with the
Bulls, you know?
I didn't want to be.
Yeah.
Is that too?
Is that?
No, that's a great pick.
That's probably the best pick of the draft.
It's the most well known.
It's very good.
Yeah, you probably just won the draft.
People get gourd there all the time.
I lost the draft.
Americans go over there and think it's fun and then they
die.
Go ahead, Bo.
Yeah.
Thanks, guys.
Win the draft, Bo.
Go ahead.
All right, Nate, you're up.
I'm going to go with
riding elephants as a bad custom it's a custom yeah where do they do that we do it in america
we do it at we do it at we do it at elephants in america i was on the same article hey we do we do it at
we we do it at zoos and it's something that it's really not safe elephants are large animals
yeah and also you wouldn't want to have someone just jumping on your shoulders no i wouldn't
and telling you and pulling you around in a circle.
No, I wouldn't.
For a crying kid.
No, I wouldn't.
No, I wouldn't.
Absolutely not.
It's a bad custom.
And that elephant's not going to forget either.
We're going to Greece and we're going to do the rocate opolomas.
And it's these two churches that fire rockets at each other once a year while they're having service.
They launch, and they do like a faux war.
And they just launch rockets at each other's steeples.
So this is a great pick.
I think it's obviously
fucking unsafe.
Yeah.
And it's not godly.
Is that a way to get the kids to come to church?
Yeah,
like if I was a kid,
like that would be like,
mom,
are you like,
are you ready yet?
We have to be there.
People have died doing this.
People have died.
They've destroyed homes,
25,000 rockets every year.
The kids.
Wait, like rockets, like not like fireworks?
Have we seen videos?
No, like pretty aggressive rockets.
Rocket, church.
Torch war.
Time on, time on, time, on, time, on, time, time, time.
Like, what do you guys mean by rocket?
Like, rocket, like a, like a, a weapon, not a firework?
Well, I'm about to show you.
It looks like fucking tracers.
Looks like, um...
Like, but is it coming out of a gun or...
They're small rockets.
60,000.
Oh, yeah, they're like firework rockets.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But still, people have died.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, this...
Like, they're like Roman candles.
like a bunch of them.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, just lighting these things off.
Yeah, it's sketchy as fuck.
I really don't understand what they're doing here.
And what happens if you're like a tourist and you're like,
hey, I think I'd like to go to Sunday service.
I think, hey, and it happens to come on this day.
I think if you're in the, if you're on the Greek island of Chios,
you know that this is where it goes down.
And they know exactly when it goes down.
If you fucking book your travel to the Greek island of Chiles,
the exact weekend that you deserve to get hit by and you don't know you deserve to get hit by a rocket hey
is it is it packed though you think it's like how they're you know you have Easter you got the Easter
people versus people yeah fuck yeah dude all the pews are full for rocketopolis dude that's right
we should go there that would be sick we should go there I'm game I'm down only one they said like
there was a death I think was like kind of like well they do is every year yeah every year if we go
prepared and we bring we get some like fire retarding suits fire and return suits and like a push
icedy mask will be good a push isy mask yeah yeah nice pick read all right chris you got first
picking round too uh okay yeah not getting circumsized is it is it terribly uh i'm looking around the room
right now like jimmy butler and that jiff to see if anybody in here is uh he's got a hoodie going on
but uh and all do all due respect to anybody who's uh who's wearing the poncho but it's not as safe
they're the risk of urinary track infections and males is low but these infections are more common
and uncircumcised males severe infections early in life can lead to kidney problems later which
you don't want i don't want nobody wants that so yeah i've never had a uTI thank god
wait are you are you uh you got a hoodie on definitely not
Perfect mushroom
Yeah that's not
It's not safe
I'm surprised you didn't know that Chris
I thought you guys were close in this podcast
No no no not as close as you
And the greatest college quarterback of all time
Fuck I knew that was going
Anyway I think I'm off for this draft right
I don't know if I'm necessarily doing this the right way
Um, dangerous, uh, you know, cultural custom.
I'm going to have to go with October Fest.
Yeah, dude.
That's a great.
That's a great pick, though.
Yeah.
Uh, I didn't even have to do any research because I'm creative.
I'm like you guys.
Uh, yeah, people are getting really fucked up.
I love watching those videos.
Uh, it's definitely a bucket list item for me.
I'll be there someday, but let's be honest.
People drink a little bit too much at October fest.
So that's my pick.
Who's up next?
It's me.
And we're heading to Pakistan.
Oh.
And they do something called bear baiting.
And they take a young bear and they grind its teeth down.
They take its nails, claws out, basically all its natural weapons.
And they put it in a pit against dogs.
And it's something that people they bet on.
And they said it's usually something where it either ends in the bear dying or the bear,
winning against the dogs
but the bear usually doesn't live that long
because these fights are barbaric
and they, I think they usually,
they said they usually, it's a betting thing.
I'm trying to look up the video to see,
but I think this is like seeing like a snuff film
or something. It's just not okay.
And it's this article I'm reading
and it's basically like all,
like something like all the degenerates.
Jesus Christ, look at these bears.
Yeah, all the degenerates would be at to watch.
Yeah, that shit's crazy.
This is awful, dude.
This is awful.
Jesus Christ.
If you think about it, it makes me think about, like, what they did.
Oh, this is bad.
This is worse than I expected, Nate.
It's kind of a downer.
Game of Thrones when they put...
Kind of a downer pick.
Hey, we're picking the worst...
We're picking the worst customs, right?
You're right.
It's such a good pick that I'm frazzled.
It's run by organized crime in Pakistan.
Fucking figures.
I'm afraid to say anything else about it, so let's just go to...
Read for.
Why?
Why are you afraid?
The bear looks in bad shape.
Yeah.
I wouldn't want to watch that.
God, I don't hope not.
I think if somebody in this building was watching fucking bear baiting videos,
I'd fire your ass.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, in a heartbeat, dude.
That goes for the foundation, too.
If any of you all are listening and working at my foundation,
you're watching bear baiting videos,
I don't give a fuck what they say about me.
I'll fire everybody in the building.
My second round pick is the Onbashira Festival in Japan.
God damn it.
It is literally
Japanese men riding 12 ton trees
down mountains.
They have to carry the,
they cut these trees down in the mountains.
They carry them up and down and up and down
over throughout the,
throughout the region,
over 10 kilometers.
And they have to replace them
this temple, but to get them down the mountain and improve their bravery, they ride on top of these
logs.
So I would love to to put on our bucket list here.
We're going to the Rocket Festival.
Yeah.
Like be a vice correspondent there.
And then also just we're going to go do mushrooms and watch this festival.
Yes.
Yeah.
You know what else?
Have you seen this festival?
No.
It's insane.
Well, like, remember ESPN used to do the great outdoor games?
Like, I want to do that stuff.
that's like with all the trees and like riding oh like the lumber job yeah the lumberjack
that's what it makes me sound like i sound but the garb here is really what separates do do do
do people die did you do yes oh a lot of people died in multiple festival years in fact two men died
yeah they just straddle it wait wait wait drowned the yeah because they got to ride the log
over the fucking river dude oh wait wait wait oh wait wait wait i'm not you gotta go down a hill
look at this shit dude yeah look at those ropes that guy
ACLs just that they don't even have the ACL like staff on there's people pulling this
Golly that shit looks lit lit they get mad at each other we can really we can really straddle that thing though
No but the things rolling huh things rolling like if it gets too far to one side team you got to get your team together to keep it straight
Bro this is the coolest thing ever why would anybody stop this this is honorable read I feel like this is almost racist that you want to
to stop this. These people have been doing this for half a millennial. I mean, I don't want to stop it.
They've been doing it for over 1,200 years. I mean, good for them. It's just very dangerous.
This is a great pick. Certainly dangerous. Isn't that look cool, though? Am I up?
Yep. First pick round three. Rum Springer. This is a, this is a, it's an Amish right of passage.
And it's kind of genius because correct me if I'm wrong. Do you guys are familiar with this?
of course you are because we were all fishing in the same pond
but rum spring is a festival wherein the amish boy
the young Amish boy is set free and say hey
do whatever the fuck you want for this period of time
and obviously this horse has been in the stable for like a while
so it's going to run wild and at the end of this right of passage
you either return to the church or you probably are banished
forever because you just did the taste of it was too good the taste of that life was too good and so these
people do all types of drugs they do all types of partying they risk risk uh adverse behaviors
scary time for omish teens they just go out and get to do whatever they want they do whatever the
fuck they want and can you imagine not even being like seeing you know a swimsuit issue
kind of the plot of kingpin it's the pot of kingpin that's pretty good
Oh, I mean, the masturbation that you would do on Rum Spring is dangerous enough alone, dude.
Rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, porn addiction, cataracts, start beating off in front of a laptop.
Holy shit, dude.
These guys, they don't know what, like, it's dangerous.
How do you go back from that, you know?
Well, you say, no, you sow your wild oats.
you go out there, you sow your wild oats, and you come back and you say, you know what,
turning that butter looks good now.
I'm looking at this, uh, this Britannic article you guys are all talking about.
So I'm, I got, uh, the Peru Christmas fighting festival.
He found the article.
He found the article.
What's up now?
Tell us about the Peru Christmas fighting festival.
Yeah.
Uh, some areas of Peru Christmas is celebrated with bare knuckle man.
basically from these very reliable sources
neighbors family others settled disputes and grievances
by challenging each other to fist fights on December 25th
so imagine you know last year your aunt Becky you did something to her in spring
she's been sitting on that for 10 months you're ready to just pummel you on Christmas
Christmas Day.
You got to think, but you also, do you know, do they hype them like, like boxing matches or is it like, hey, people just show up at your door.
Like, hey, Ro, I'm here.
You got to be ready to.
You got to be ready to go.
I'll tell you what happens.
I'll tell you what happens, Chris.
They settle fights and makeshift rings with spectators looking on.
Fighters and spectators to attend the festival wearing costumes based on local folklore.
I kind of like this.
This is the best part, though.
To keep the proceedings from going out of control, the referees,
wips.
So like, how do you get that job?
How are you rough?
Yeah, this is just gonna, this is bad.
At what point, at what point does a fist fight get too out of control that you got to take a whip in there?
Yeah, you're like, hey, motherfucker.
It's probably for the people that try to get that, that are secretly mad at the guy getting
their ass kicked.
And then they want to want a piece.
They were to jump in the arena.
All right.
That's my pick.
They're pretty dangerous.
That's a dangerous one.
All right, Nate.
I got a semi-dangerous one.
We're heading to England for the cheese roll.
Fuck!
Dude, this just seems like fun.
This would be a blast.
It does, but the hills that they're on, the hills that they're on, they look very steep,
and that cheese is rolling very, very fast.
And I just think about the feeling of face planning, like, while you're running downhill, like,
as fast as you can.
Yes.
With a bunch of people behind you, either behind you or in front of you.
Like so it's, it looks, it does look a lot of fun.
But reading in this article, I guess it's a little better to know that the cheese company,
they can be held liable if you do get hurt running down the hill chasing out to the cheese.
That's what the local authorities say.
They like the company and also the location.
the locale that that hosts this event.
They're like, you guys are gonna get in trouble one year.
She should stop doing it.
They're like, we don't care.
We don't care.
Dude, I would love to go there, and I'd love to know the ACL numbers on that too.
Yeah.
Like just all the, you know, the concussion numbers.
The concussion numbers, everything.
Cannibalism seems like a, uh, a rough one.
We're that.
Just like any, any different.
I might, I might use, I might say football next round.
You know?
Right.
Reda-war.
American guns.
Cultural custom of famine.
Reed, that's a fucking killer
pick. I mean,
that's a kid. I mean, it's pretty dangerous.
At least someone dies.
Who's it dangerous? Yeah, well, yeah.
The person. Are they eating them alive, though?
You know, I don't know. See?
We need to interview a cannibal.
Let's go take edibles.
The halitosis, no.
On that, motherfucker. We definitely do that over Zoom.
Oh, okay.
Good, good, good, good.
Go ahead.
Yeah, is it me?
Yeah.
Round four here.
We're going to wrap this thing up with the baby dropping ritual in Solapur, India.
You know, 15 million, not 15 million.
15 million babies are dropped a year.
No, 15 meters is how far they're dropped here.
So 15 meters, do the math there.
It's a long fucking way.
That's multiple stories dropping a baby onto a white sheet.
now the faithful claim there's never been an injury yeah uh half a millennium old that's a lot of time
without an injury to a baby i have a hard time believing that i say dangerous get rid of it what does
the tradition do um gives the baby good luck so it guarantees the baby good luck which you know i'd like
to do a follow-up with all those i mean and if they don't catch them if you think about it if they
If they don't die, they probably already have good luck, right?
A bunch of luck is that.
Hey, Ireland, Ireland is not the lucky.
It's actually India.
They're very lucky in India that no babies have ever been hurt.
15 meters.
Boleks nervous over there for that last pick.
I mean, this article has been thoroughly.
So, wrapping my brain over here.
I got, I mean, I got, oh, fuck it.
Here's,
Hold on, I'm doing some really quick thinking here.
All right.
Here's one.
This one is very dangerous, especially dangerous in the Allen household.
And that is the cultural tradition of disappointing your parents by being probably hung over on Thanksgiving.
That's a good one.
That's pretty good.
What happens when you're hung over on Thanksgiving in your household?
Your mom will not speak to you.
Really?
So last year I wasn't on a team for the first time.
I went home for like the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.
I went out at the bar with all my buddies from high school.
Got drunk as shit, okay?
Was so hungover on Thanksgiving.
I barely ate any of my mom's glorious Thanksgiving feast.
She was very, very disappointed in me.
It was a dangerous time.
That's the only way to treat a hangover on Thanksgiving is to stuff yourself.
and get distracted by how full you are.
Couldn't do it.
Jesus.
That's a really good pick, though.
It was totally off the board for me.
No, that's not a very good pick, Chris.
I need some more Botanica articles here.
All right.
I got one for you.
Eating blowfish in Tokyo.
Anybody can have that.
You want that?
No, I'm good.
The other one I was going to say was the Japanese tradition of salary men
because they work themselves to death.
But I didn't think that really applied.
Salary men?
That works.
Yeah, you ever heard of that?
No, I don't know.
That's, I know what he's talking about.
That's the one that...
It's basically...
You from Japan, Reed?
Well, no, that's what Justin Wren.
That was the thing that he was telling you about,
that they work like 90, 100 hours a week,
and they die on the subway,
on the way back and forth to work.
Good thing.
There's no subway here.
You're right.
Unless we'd be down a producer.
This motherfucker fuckers, like, uh, seriously.
Good thing.
It's called like Karoshi, I think,
where they literally die from overworking.
not as danger says
Subuki where you die from a sword
to the chest
I think that's
Sep Kew
Are you talking about
this?
Yeah what is that?
Sepku
Sefku
Yeah
Read more evidence is mounting
The reads from Japan
All right Nate
So since I'm in it to win it
I'm going to take the lowest hanging fruit
Since no one said it already
And say fireworks
We can't
We literally talked about.
But no one drafted it.
I'm really glad you.
Judge,
is that legal?
Yes,
it is legal.
Okay.
He just wants the draft to wrap.
Perfect.
It works perfectly.
Hey,
you got to use,
you got to use what you can use.
That's good.
That's a good one.
I think fireworks might win you the whole thing.
Hey.
It's topical.
They're dangerous as hell.
They're dangerous.
Like,
you're not supposed to sell them.
And even the ones that they sell,
you would think that.
they would be a little less dangerous but yeah the the type of fireworks you see shot off illegally
now they look sometime better than the professional ones yeah in some cases and i that's really scary
and especially this year people that are making those fireworks you know just like the the level
of attention to detail oh yeah those plants all of it but i think about too like think about all the
potential accidents if it's a little too hot.
No question. Whatever.
Just think about like trusting a firework that came from a place where like kids are being
forced to make fireworks.
The last pick, La Tomatina, whatever.
It's, uh, it is this festival in, uh, Valencia, the Valencian town of Buno, uh,
where people just chucked tomatoes at each other.
Every year, they just launch tomato each other.
So in one way, it's dangerous because you get pelted with tomatoes.
they probably hurt in another way it's dangerous because people saw pictures probably see
pictures and they're like oh something really bad happened because they're covered in red
sauce and they think everyone's really it's not America folks it's actually
right right or tomatoes acidic too dark too soon I don't know I don't think so okay
Bo nodded night shades though a lot of night shades in the in the in the room man
there's a lot of egg you know like they Tom Brady will tell you Bo's almost teammate will
tell you the nightshades are bad for you so
you would never see Tom Brady
they should punish Tom Brady by making him go
to that festival.
Don't tomatoes at him? Just go have to be there
dude now that he's a medium model
he would probably be ripping tomatoes
at people.
Yeah, dude.
Fucking sniping people with tomatoes.
Yeah, let me pay you man.
Put them out there. Okay.
The rulings in. Go back
through the draft and then we're
this has concluded our show guys.
Bo has been really gracious and before he goes.
will let him know that he won or did not win the draft we'll see all right so
Chris had digging up dead people not getting circumcised which I thought that was an
amazing pick that was way off the board I was not expecting that whoa from springer
that's good baby dropping ritual not bad definitely a contender for the win
contender it's up there bow I thought running with the Bulls it's chalky but it's good
pick October Fest genius through Xmas fighting I didn't know
about and you kind of gave us two
but I think the Japanese work culture
one is really good. You're accepting that
one? He turned in shitty Thanksgiving.
Come on, Commissioner.
I didn't do any prep time like you're right.
You're right. We have seven
other drafts though. Nate, I didn't love
the bear baiting one, although I do like
the cheese rolling one which kind of compensates
for that a little bit. And then I thought
re-nailed three out of four. I don't feel
so great about cannibalism, but his
clearly says a death of research.
I'm going to go
fourth place, Nate, third place.
Chris.
Second place, Beau, first place,
Reed. He won with a tomato throwing
contest. I know it's not fixed,
but God damn it, how many people
die at that fucker? You know, probably more
than you would think. They might get buried under the
tomatoes. A lot of tomatoes get thrown.
I'm not. I'm not. Animalism?
The fuck? That's not a cultural
practice.
In some cultures? In some cultures, it is.
don't be weak
don't be soft
no they're not
I'm not gonna shift down to cannibals
if there's a lot of cannibals
listen to the other than cannibals listen to the
no no no mostly yeah
most of people yeah
who don't have Spotify
I don't think
or eating people
the conspiracy continues
which is
Matt and Reed
Matt and Reed
doing their
like the perfect
perfect executed
I might have gotten absolutely
fuck today
but that's
those are the
breaks, dude. Those are the breaks.
They're running their pick and roll perfectly.
Okay. And I'm going to keep an eye on it.
Okay. Well, Bo, congrats on, hey,
congrats on the silver medal in
the draft. And then also
a big congratulations on a wonderful
career, man. Congrats.
Yeah, congrats, dude. Appreciate that.
Thanks, guys. You guys hiring or what?
Yeah, we'd love to hire you. Like, we'll talk in
30 minutes. I'll call you.
No, thanks for me. I appreciate it.
Come join our locker room, bro.
Come join our locker room.
Yeah, there's no bullshit.
Yeah, we shave.
Yeah.
Trim at least.
I'll be the judge of that.
Bo shows up.
Drop them, boys.
Chris sent me a very nice heartfelt text the other day.
I just want to throw that out there.
I really appreciate you, Chris.
You've been a good friend, a good teammate.
Anybody else is Green Light.
Thanks for having me on.
It was fucking fun.
Little warning next time, Beau, would be nice,
because I felt like, like,
Woj fucking super drunk
getting some important news.
I was drunk on the river
and you're like, I'm retiring.
And I'm like, fuck, I got to craft a tweet
and the whole thing.
So a little warning.
Next major event, please.
Yeah, I'll let you know
when I'm on retiring
so you can break it.
Okay, good.
Nice.
Appreciate that.
