And then our colleague, Will Compton, who is currently a free agent in the NFL, talked to us about Grit, about making an NFL roster, being one of those end-of-the-roster guys, what you need to do. Awesome interview with him. And also kind of a full circle because he was coached by Bo Polini, one of the first ever Grit Week guests. We also have Hotsy Cool Throne, guys on chicks.

It is the day of our 24-hour grit stream. That's right. Hopefully you listen to this show in the morning because you're going

to have 24 hours starting at noon of strictly part of my take. Of dudes. It's just dude stream sponsored by Dude Wipes. And Body Armor. And Bud Light. And Bud Light. So we've got, in addition to all the different activities we're going to do, which we'll get into in a second, I feel like we should discuss the hourly challenges that we will each be undertaking because there's been some debate going on back and forth about who has it the worst when it comes to these hourly challenges. Big Cat's going to be eating a hot dog. One hot dog every single hour. I will go back and forth between buns. I will probably eat more buns than less, but there will definitely be some hours that I raw dog. You'll be switching back and forth between his buns and his meat. Billy

will be doing 26.2 miles. A marathon. He's doing a marathon over the course of the day. On a treadmill. On a treadmill. He's also going to be trying to get a new topic trending every hour, wearing a t-shirt with that topic. And he's just going to have to keep every single t-shirt on. So change shirts or add an additional shirt every hour until he's wearing 24 t-shirts by the end of it. By the way, we should start, you should, if everyone can help, the first one should just be grit stream. Yep. I like that stream should be the first one at 12 o'clock to kick it off. So as soon as you wake up and hear this, let's start tweeting, grit stream, we'll get a trend and get it ready. We also, this was a G. I don't even remember who came up with the idea that Billy was

going to be on a treadmill, but it was a genius idea because we've essentially neutralized having to hang out with Billy for all 24 hours. So we just put them away. We're like, it's like walking a dog. The only, you know, a good dog is a tired dog. Billy will be tired out and we don't get full Billy the whole time. Billy has been trying to negotiate with me behind the scenes a little bit this week, trying to switch up tasks because I have to drink a beer at the top of every hour. One beer per hour. I'm still a little bit nervous about that. I don't think I've ever drank 24 beers over that long of a period of time before. Yep. Maybe once or twice in college, I might have crammed those 24 beers into a shorter timeframe, but this one is going to be interesting. I don't

know how my body's going to react. I think what's going to happen is at the beginning of the stream is going to be very easy. At the end, when we're low on sleep, it's you're going to start getting drunk. So Billy was trying to negotiate and say, Hey, how about we trade off where he can drink 10 beers and I can run 10 of his miles? And I was like, wait, Billy, I'm not going to drink 14 beers and then get onto a treadmill afterwards. I don't think that anyone's going to like that. Also, I was telling Billy it's for his own good that we're not letting him drink 10 beers on this correct. So and then Hank has to read what a page out of a book every single hour. And that's the worst. Actually, that's the worst. And then it should be a Jane Austen novel. Jake is

going to be doing a rebellion pack of cards every single hour. So he's open for that Fauci card. Yeah. So it's going to be, it's going to be, I think Billy has it the worst. I think it might, I think I might have a second worse. I don't know. The real question is, is obviously, and me and Jake are probably excluded from this because it'll be easier for me to read whatever 24 pages Jake and open 24 packs of cards. The real question is, which one of you guys is going to bow out the earliest? Like and like, will PFT, how many beers out of 24 will PFT drink? How many hot dogs out of 24 will big cat eat? And how many miles out of 24 will Billy actually do? So that is the bet that people should be judging. He'll bow out first. He's going to have some major shits after

like five or six. I'll be fine. I'm going to eat them all. Yeah, you can poop. Can I throw up? I don't know. Yes. Okay. I might throw up at some point. I actually think I had this idea last week. I think you guys are both going to, all of you will be closer to like 15. Could we barter behind the scenes? Could I be like, Hey, big cat, take two of my beers. I'll take two of your hot dogs. No, I want to eat 24 hot dogs. I want to be up for the challenge. Now, with Hank, I had this idea last night. Tell me what you think about this. Instead of reading a book or maybe in addition to reading a book, you remember that game, the 24 challenge challenge 24 cards that have four numbers on them. And you have to figure out how to get to 24 using those four numbers. What if we what if we gave Hank

a three dot card at the top of every hour, and he's not allowed to participate whenever fun activity we're doing till he solves the three dot one. Okay, I like that. Where are we going to get that? I ordered them. Okay, perfect. So we're good to go. Okay, Hank has to do a puzzle. What Billy, do I have to do 26.2 miles or 24 miles, 24 miles, a little less than a marathon. Yeah, 24. That's fair. We're doing 24 beers, 24 hot dogs, 24 miles, 24 packs of cards, 24 puzzles. It's going to be great. You see a baker's marathon. Yeah, I like that. I like that. And also kudos to Billy for waiting approximately seven minutes into recording this to trying to get out of. Oh, I mean, yeah, he's Billy, Billy time and place for Billy is just irrelevant when it comes to like, Hey, Billy, you

got to do this. Yeah, like maybe takes a breath and he's like, Do I really have to do that? So we have a lot planned though, it's going to be fun 24 hours, we're going to be raising money for the Children's Miracle Hospital Network. So if you have, you know, money that you, you know, want to donate to a great cause, it's a dollar sign part of my take on the cash app. So we're going to raise money throughout, we're going to dump it all into the Children's Miracle Hospital Network at the end of the stream. We'll do that live on the stream. You can watch us. So that will be great. It's going to be a great cause. And then we also have some fun things planned. We have we're going to play some Jenga. We have some ping pong. I think we are going to do a couple

interviews. We have maybe Danny Woodhead, who's going to be putting us through a workout at like 6am. We're going to play some video games, maybe against some guests of ours. We're going to do an episode of Chopped for dinner, two episodes, two episodes. And for breakfast, we're going to do a spelling bee. And then at the very end, we're going to do a dozen's trivia with Jeff D. Lohan, Brandon Walker, which should be just horrendous by us. So I actually want to nominate by the way. I saw the teams. I would like to, I would like it's Hank PFT and myself versus Jake, Billy and Brandon. I would like to make an amendment to those teams. I think that it should just be Billy and Brandon. I think Billy and Brandon, Billy, Brandon's going to have such a

heads up like a leg up on us because we will have not slept and Brandon. You'll be drunk. I'll be sick anytime. Brandon is not on camera. He is sleeping. Right. So Billy and Brandon, though, the combo, the two of them dealing with each other. So I don't mind that at all. I actually like that. The problem is Jeff has it in his head because he runs the dozen trivia contest where he has like these graphics set up and the boxes set up. Jeff doesn't like having an off kilter screen where there's a ton of people on one side and two people on another. So if we can convince Jeff. Well, we can all sit in the screen together. Well, we could be in one screen, but the way that he has it set up on screen, like the way that the graphics package is going out is that there are

two screens, one on each side. Right. But I'm saying it could, like the four of us could sit on one screen together and the two of them could sit on one screen together. He just doesn't like the off balance. Right. Right. Okay. Well, we'll have to. We'll have to negotiate that. You just want to lock me in a room with Brandon. I think it would be very funny. I want Brandon Walker to actually murder you. Right. And Jake would be too much of a speed bump because Jake is like a reasonable human being that Brandon Walker can reason with. So that would eliminate the tension between you and Brandon. Can I give you a sneaky little pick into who I think will be the first to murder somebody else? Because I don't think that it's going to be Brandon murdering Billy.

I think that might be the second murder of the live stream. I think that there's an outside chance that Hank murders Jake. Because you don't think Hank first Billy, Hank hates Billy. Yeah, but we're going to be playing ping pong in the second hour or the second segment. And Hank and Jake have an actual rivalry, an actual like Pittsburgh, Baltimore, these teams don't like each other very much rivalry. Good thing they'll get mad at each other and then we'll just have 22 more hours to hang out and instigate them. Yeah. Remember that when you were a kid and you'd have like one sleepover with your best friend, it was the best night ever. You're like, this is sweet. Let's do it again. And then by the end of the second night, you just wanted to kill each other. You're like, get out

of here dude. It's going to be like that except in the second hour first. Yes. So we're very excited. Again, if you just started listening this year, we usually do a grit week and a training camp tour. Obviously we can't. So we thought this would be a fun way to do something that follows all the CDC rules and the pandemic rules. We're all together and we're going to make the best of it and it's going to be fun hop in when you can. And by the way, we'll tweet out, but we're going to watch two movies. We're trying to figure out exactly how we can do it so you can watch it with us. So you can just pull up the screen and see what we're seeing, mystery science theater type. So we'll do that in the middle of the night and we're also going to record reviews of that that

will be on Friday show. So we'll let everyone know what those movies are. So if you can't stay up, you're not up with us, you'll be able to watch it and we're going to pick some classics so everyone will be able to probably have seen it before. So that is coming noon tomorrow. Get excited. Other news. Baseball is all the way back, except the Marlins are just done. Yeah. I mean, I would have bet my ballsack. It was going to be the Mets that would have all their players infected and every other team be fine. So that's actually saying I bet my ballsack. It's pretty cool. It's got a little ready. I would bet my ballsack. I would wager my beanbag that it would be the Mets. So I'm shocked that it's the Marlins, but it's like what 17 players and the way that they handled it

was probably the worst way that they could handle the situation where they had a bunch of players, I think four tested positive on Monday, right, or on Sunday over the weekend, I believe. And then they all got on a group thread together and they were like, Hey, do you want to keep playing? And the team was like, Sure. So then Don Mattingly said, Yeah, we're going to play this game. There was no checks or balances put out by Major League Baseball. So now the whole team is sick. Listen, I I love baseball. I stayed up till one in the morning watching the Cubs almost blow the fucking game to the Reds. And I had that moment where I was like, Why am I doing this? Because this season could just be canceled at any moment. Why am I investing my time? But I'll still watch every

game. But I don't I think I'm like a lot of people right now. Every bad news. My first thought is what does this mean for football? Because I don't know if you have to cancel the entire season for a single team. And I don't think they're there yet, but they didn't say they're canceling the week, which I don't get how they're going to like rectify the schedules and everything. The schedule for the Marlins is canceled until Sunday, right? Everybody will be fine by Sunday. So and and so the Marlins are canceled for a week. We had a bunch of people in the NFL, no like big time, big time guys, but a couple notable names opt out for this year. And it just makes me nervous. I'm just nervous. I just want I'll say it again. Maybe it's been too long. Maybe I haven't been

forceful enough. Nerds come up with a fucking vaccine. Feel what you feel. Do it. Feel what you feel you're allowed to be nervous. I think we're all in that same boat together where every little bit of bad news you're like, Well, what how much longer is this going to go on? We say no big names. You're kind of right. But the entire Patriots defense is basically like what five or six guys. So do you think that this is Belichick being like, we'll just get Trevor Lawrence? Well, there was a quote given to Adam Schefter today from an anonymous GM. And it said, you know, Bill is masterminding all of this somehow. For what reason? I don't know. That's why he is who he is. So everyone in the GMs are just like us. Yeah, everyone assumes that

Belichick has his shit together. I think that the Patriots might be putting together like a shadow team and just getting through camp. And he's got all these guys that he knows want to be impact starters. He's like, they're gonna be my shadow team. They're going to stay healthy. And then I'm going to bring him in before the season starts. That's just me being too woke because Belichick is always up to something and have way more cap room. And he also just doesn't. I mean, he has the ultimate whatever not like 100% job security, he has like double that. So he knows that he could probably tell his guys like, Hey, if you don't want to play, you don't have to play. Look like a good guy and then possibly draft Trevor Lawrence. Have we gotten to take

from Gottlieb yet that all these players are dropping out on the Patriots because Cam Newton's a bad leader? Yeah, or they're just not having fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's another one that could be kind of I don't get the Trevor Lawrence thing like the Patriots are the exact opposite of a team that would be like we need Trevor Lawrence. It goes against everything. You don't need Trevor Lawrence, but it would be better to have Trevor Lawrence. But the like six players opting out like the Patriots, they're like the Dolphins last year, like everyone thinks they're going to be bad. But even when they're bad, they're going to they're going to yeah, they're not going to be in the Patrick Chong takes care of his body. Okay. Yeah. Don't you think he's also about to have a

baby? Yeah. Oh, well, that that makes sense. There's a lot of guys that are in like the high risk factor. Like if I think it's your if your BMI is over a certain point, which is not saying that you're not an excellent athlete because those guys are usually the best. No, you see though, no, like Eddie Goldman from the from the Bears opted out. I think that the nose tackle from the Vikings opted out. Some of the bigger guys are probably like, yeah, this is not worth it. Marquis Goodwin opted out from the Eagles. So they're back to having no wide receivers. Perfect. They're ready to go. I actually think that Goodwin is just he's saying I'm going to train for the Olympics next summer. I was wondering this. If you opt out like David Price, right? He opted out.

If if the Dodgers, which they will make the playoffs, if the playoffs happen, can he just be like, fuck it, I'm opting back in. I want a chance at a ring. There are probably some rules around that, I would imagine, because that would be the ultimate. Like I'm going to opt out and I'll just wait and see how my team does. And then I'll opt the fuck back in. I mean, Roger Clemens did that for four years. Right. Brett Favre did that several times. It's kind of a genius thing to do. The more people do opt out, the more I start thinking maybe, you know what, maybe Brett Favre could come back. Yes, you might have another year left in them. I'm just I'm getting nervous. I am not there. There's also this you get like a million retweets now on Twitter

to be like, why is sports media? Why are sports media people rooting, rooting against sports happening? It's like, I don't think anyone's really doing that. I think we're just nervous. We don't it's an unknown. I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea what's going to happen. And that makes me terrified. I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea what's happening, but I am very much rooting for there to be a football. Yes. If there's a football season, I'll be happy. There's zero part of me that doesn't want football to be played. But I also don't know what's going on. And it sucks. So yeah, that it just it's just one step forward, two steps back every single time. So they should there should be a punishment for the Marlins or for baseball. I don't know because

you could make the argument that it's not necessarily the Marlins fault, because most baseball players would say, yes, we want to play this weekend. You know, right? I don't think that most players maybe a few here or there would say no, I don't want to show up. But for the most part, they want to play baseball. So do you punish madingly? But he's not like an infectious disease expert. No, you punish baseball. I say you punish Derek Jeter. Okay, I think that that's fair. You make Derek Jeter go out there and he plays. I like that. Yeah, like an old timer. Tell me you wouldn't watch a game where the Marlins, it was just like Derek Jeter, Gary Sheffield, all the old Marlins fucking superstars getting out there and just whiffing on every pitch.

Yeah, I as long as it's just nice to see sports, it's nice to have like the ability to go home and be like, Oh, there's a sports game coming on. And I'm just scared this is going to be taken away from us. Although the bubble life seems to be working because NBA is going to start on Thursday. And it feels like they're good. Knock on knock on knock because I did I did start Monday's show saying baseball is all the way back. And then it was like, boom, the Marlins have been canceled. Well, I think when you see the bubble life, it's worked for MLS. It's worked for the women's soccer did it? I don't. Yeah, I think MLS season is officially over. Okay, somebody won. That's not true. Is it it's still going? They play their games at like 130. Good job, MLS. You did it. MLS

plays their games as if it's a Korean World Cup soccer match at like 130 in the morning. I can't keep track of where it's going. But MLS, I don't think they've had a single positive case after people have been like quarantined in the bubble. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll hopefully it works. By the way, the talking soccer at two 45 tomorrow swans, he's got their their game to try to get to the final game before they can go up the semifinals to reach the peak of the lower league. Correct. So we'll have that on. We won't be able to show it on the stream, but I'll be we'll have it on somewhere in the stream. Okay. All right. So let's get to hot seat cool throne before we get to juju Smith Schuster and will Compton. Grit week 2020 is here. And while it may be a little different

this year, our friends at Bud Light want to keep it help keep it special.

My hot seat is the chain smokers. They had a quote unquote social distance concert in in the Hamptons last weekend. And they

like, for whatever reason, put out a video themselves being like, look at how successful the social distance concert was. It was a it was a drive in and everyone had to stay in their own camps, six feet apart from everyone. And in the video, you don't see any cars. You just see it looks like a regular concert, people like wall to wall, yeah, right next to each other, freaking out. Their song is closer, not like maintain a safe distance away from yeah. And so and then and then the articles that came out. This was the headline, which is just a ridiculous headline, organizers defend the chain smokers dicey Hamptons concert for fuck Jerry's tequila brand. And apparently, the opening DJ was also the CEO of Goldman Sachs. Oh, oh yeah, that guy that guy

like he's a pretty prolific DJ. I've seen him around a few places in the news. It's it's I think that that might be the doucheiest sentence you can actually come up with. Yes, organizers defend the chain smokers dicey Hamptons concert for fuck Jerry's tequila brand. No, no, no, not that one. Opening set done by DJ, who's also an executive at Goldman Sachs, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, did a DJ set in the Hamptons opening for the chain smokers. That's the death sentence ever created in English language. It sounds like a Gary V mad lib. That's so bad. Oh my god. Holy shit. You just add like as an undercard for Paul Brothers fight. Yeah. But yeah, they're in the hot seat big time. People are mad. Cuomo's mad. Everyone's mad. And then my cool throne is leaking

or his nipple ring. I saw a tweet. I don't know how his nipples were going for that tweet. And the cool throne is LeBron literally. So you guys, I'm sure you guys have seen how they're doing the NBA media interviews. And they'll tweet like the behind the scenes of like a player sitting on a stool in front of a zoom call. LeBron was literally sitting in a throne. And like he was like, I need to lower my chair. Someone was like, Hey, it looks like you're sitting in a throne. And he said, absolutely not. It's one of these hallway chairs. Everyone sits in. Frank Vogel did the next interview. He was back in the stool. So literally only LeBron James. I was sitting in the throne and he was acting like it was like, Oh yeah, this was a coincidence, total coincidence.

Okay, I need to look up and see if this was actually a throne. Yes, please. LeBron throne. Okay. Let's see. I like it though. LeBron sits in throne like this is from LeBron wire.com. Oh, no, that's a that's a throne. No, you know what it is? It's one of the it's one of the lobby. It's a lobby hallway chairs. No, it's a lobby. It's a lobby chair. It's a lobby. It does look very throne-ish. You're right. Because it's got the red velvet on there. By the way, I had no idea that USA Today had a website like a subsection of USA Today is called LeBron wire dot USA. Look at Frank Fogle's chair that's immediately after he's sitting in like a children's kitchen chair. It is a lobby chair. I respect the hate Hank. I think you're you're you're on the right

path. Did you see that video of LeBron pulling out a big sack of ice from just right on his penis? He was just sitting on the sidelines of the game and just had an ice pack on his penis. Damn, he's got the grays too in his beard. Big time. That's just saying washed king. He's not he's not getting any younger. Alright, PFT. What's your hot seat? Cool. My hot seat actually Hank is Taco Tuesday because there was an NBA reddit account. It's let's see it's angry you slash angry centrist. So probably putting up some threads on Twitter. Yeah, seems like probably works for the Lincoln project. I would imagine so he did a statistical analysis of every single LeBron James game played on a Tuesday night before the Taco Tuesday era and then during the Taco Tuesday era. I like what

he find found might shock you. He found out that pre Taco Tuesday he had a win percentage that was four percent higher than normal. So Tuesday nights were LeBron James nights. He would win at a higher clip than he would any other night of the week almost in the Taco Tuesday era. It's minus two percent. So he's doing statistically way way worse bubble on Tuesday nights because he's eating so many tacos or maybe he's waiting to eat him till after the game and that's all he can look forward to. He's hungry. So he's like I need to just get through this game so I can get to Taco Tuesday. That's actually probably why he had the ice pack on either his penis or on his testicle anus area because it was good. It's good. The taco seasoning on his hands. Yeah. My cool throne is the full

back assist. The full back assist is on the cool throne. Chris Collinsworth replied to our initial offer and he has a counter offer. Would you like to hear it. Yes. OK. So he addressed it to New York New York. Barstool HQ July 28 2020. Dear Mr. Cometer PFF agrees to add a new state of the art metric the PFT Cometer full back assist. The full back assist will chart all touchdowns assisted by full back. Both parties enter into a full commitment to normalize this long overlooked metric in exchange. Barstool's PMT and PFF agree to split profits on a luxury line of affordable full back assist. And here's a guy merchandise. In addition PFF agrees to give Big Cat a free PFF elite account with personalized concierge service to prove that even a Bears fan can win money. Cheers

PFF. Well yeah. And that's you know what Chris I don't like that because I have had an elite account and I I suck at gambling still. But you didn't have the concierge. No I did. I had everything. I fucking paid everything. So jokes on you dude. So he's he's made a counter offer. I don't hate it. I like the idea of the here's a guy line of menswear. I like the idea of creating a full back assist merch. And I think that sounds good to me. He power shifted on us by the way. I tried to pull the art of the deal with any power shift. He also realized that we weren't going to do any follow up. So he just took it into his own hands. Well no I wrote a blog. Oh yeah. But after that yeah I wasn't going to be. I said the ball. I would have died forever.

I said the ball was in his court. Yes. He responded which means that I think I think we should just take this. Yes. No take the deal. All right. No no no no no no no. Add. What would be like maybe 25 Chick-fil-A sandwiches. I was going to say maybe just like a $50 gift card to $25 Chick-fil-A sandwiches. And 25 Chick-fil-A sandwiches. A mix of spicy and regular. Yes. And more spicy than regular. 13 spicy 12 regular and some Polynesian sauce. Extra Polynesian sauce. And one milkshake. That can be your choice. Yes. Flavor is up to you Chris. Yes. A ball is in your court. Deal. Done. All right. My hot seat is Aaron Rodgers. I don't know if you guys saw but he has taken to the bottle which scary stuff. He said that when he found out

that Jordan Love got drafted he used some tequila to cope. So problem drinking. I thought he said that he liked Scotch. Yeah. Problem drinking. He's mixing his liquors right now. Problem drinking. He was like I need the hard stuff. I'm going to the tequila. So I don't know. I'm just I'm just reporting what I heard. I'm not I'm not making a decision one way or the other. Just ask yourself if you're a Packers fan. Do you have a problem. He broke up with his girlfriend. She might have crystal put a crystal curse on him. He's getting older. You just drafted Jordan Love. He's drinking way too much tequila. Is there a problem. I think it doesn't bode well for him. He's going to be very very wobbly on that bike ride out to Lambeau Field with the kids. Yes. Yes. And then my other

hot seat is all of us because we had to we had to basically live with a getting a FaceTime. We had to live with a Clay Travis vs. Darren Ravel feud on Twitter. That was that was tough to wake up in the morning. That was hell. Hell when I when I opened up Twitter before my god. Who's FaceTime. I'm trying to do some kid time. Okay. Being a dad. Yeah. That tweet. What was that tweet that I retweeted. Who's that guy. The rapper. People said that I needed to get him on currency. Dude. Yeah. Would love to get currency on it. Can we get him on. What was the tweet that he said. I was like my kid doesn't realize you tell me. Yeah. Hold on. I'll find it. When did your kid learn how to use FaceTime. It's not my kid who's using the impressive.

Oh. Hold on. It said currency is his name. We said my son is the homie. Straight the fuck up man. This kid doesn't even know man made my life full as fuck bro. My heart. I was like yes. I believe that. My son is my homie. He doesn't even know. Don't you actually think it's more valuable skill to teach him how to FaceTime as opposed to holding the camera up in front of him all the time. Yeah. So he'll get there. Give a man a FaceTime. He'll get there. He'll sex for a day. Teach him to FaceTime. And you're talking about my son. I mean your son's going to learn about chill out there. Jeffrey Epstein. Listen. I'm just saying one. Just going to want to talk to his girlfriend eventually. Cool thrown Kirk Cousins. Cool thrown Kirk Cousins

because he wears socks with his sandals and gives himself a toe wedgie which you know what I'm going to say it for Kirk Cousins. We always bash him. He's consistent. That is a man who uses tin foil on his grill for his stakes. That is a man who is as corny as possible. I'm happy that he is consistent in what he wears. Holy shit. What a lot. So it's the socks and then the thong sandal that goes in between your big toe and your second toe. Right. That I don't know what it is about that look. It just makes me like shiver thinking about it. I don't know. I don't like it's it's gross. Yeah. It's he came out of the womb as a dad. Yeah. He's just embraced dad life his entire life. Also he got the 14th. It was either 14th or 15th best quarterback in

Sando's annual quarterback tier rankings. So that's good for Kirk Cousins. He's up. He's normally like you can pencil him in. He's number 16. Right. All the time. He's right in the middle. Now he's all the way up to 14. So good for him. Wow. Great for him. All right. Billy your hot seat cool throne. My hot seat is reoccurring guest Paul Rabel. Oh. Rabel the commissioner of the PLL has not been playing well as a player. Interesting. So he might get cut from his own league. He might cut himself. What can we cut him. No he's on our team. But we can make the Paul Rabel clown shirts. Right. Yes. Because he. Yeah. Why. Your. Your. You're a fucking Atlas fan. You. That's all. Well he's on the Atlas and he's playing terribly. Okay. Zero goals. Zero assists.

What do you think the reason is. I think he's wearing shorts too short. Okay. Now. Anyway. He's a quad father. He's not getting involved in the offense enough. They're not getting the ball enough. Anyway my cool throne is Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes buys into the Royals. And if his quarterbacking doesn't work out he can fall back on being a baseball owner. Wow. Or is five hundred million dollars. Hey you guys hear this joke. Patrick Mahomes now owns two teams the Royals and the 49ers. That's pretty good. I don't think that I would I would like to own the Royals. Well I especially if there are no like fans at the games I think I'd just be like it's not going

to be forever. It'd be a lot of paperwork. I don't think he's just buying it for this 60 games. Yeah. Just going and having to watch like a hundred sixty three Royals. Dude is right next to the facility. Yeah still. I. Baseball team baseball team I'm in for. I'd buy a baseball team. I see like the owner's box after a practice just like with all the food there. Right. It's not even for the base. It really is the same. They never show. They don't really show it when they show Arrowhead. They don't show the Kaufman stadiums right there but it is right there. So I think if there's any if you're going to buy in on a team might as well have it right next to your job anyway. He's definitely going to try to play at some point right. Yeah he's got to.

Or he's going to win training throw batting practice. Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Is that the first owner player in sports. Well LeBron I think under the table is taking money from the calves Jackie Moon the heat the Lakers. All those. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. I think also there's I think there's a bunch of. No I don't know player coaches but not owner players Jerry Richardson who owns who owns the Nets with Jay Z. I thought there was like a whole group and maybe a couple players. That's a Russian. A Russian billionaire. No I know he does but I'm saying like Jay Z and then I don't know. OK. We'll look into the Williams sister own part of the Dolphins I believe. Who. The Williams sisters. Oh and that's right. Play on a team. Look at that. The team and Serena

Williams daughter owns part of the new NWSL and so she's probably going to play on that team at some point. That's pretty cool. Yeah. All right. Let's get to our interviews.

Okay here he is Juju Smith Schuster. Okay we now welcome on a very special guest. It is Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver pro bowler Rose Bowl champion. I got to mention the Rose Bowl greatest bowl game in America. It is Juju Smith Schuster. Juju thank you for joining

us. We got a lot of things we want to get to but let's start with just how are you feeling about the season starting and are you ready to go? Do you know like is there a plan? I mean first thing first and I just like thank you guys for having me on here this is pretty big. Honestly you know I feel great you know I feel great you know with my body where I'm at with training as far as the season goes you know that's something that's up in the air between the NFL PA and the NFL. What we're doing right now is basically that we report hopefully next the 28th next week and there's definitely we're being tested like every two days and coaches and like are being tested like every day pretty much so far so I think our first test would be Tuesday and then from there

it's every two days you're you're constantly being tested and we'll do that for about two weeks hopefully and then see if we get something to stir up so and I hope you have a season man I mean you know obviously like sports is pretty much one of the reasons why you know a lot of a lot of people you know live. Yeah we go insane when there's no sports on we barely made it through the last four months it was like tooth and nail to get through. As like a veteran as an established guy on your team is a part of you kind of excited you're like hey I only have to do like nine practices this preseason and maybe half of those are just you know wearing shells and shorts. Almost definitely you know when I came in my rookie year I was definitely the guy that I was

practicing every day you know scout team, offense scout team you know pretty much doing everything I can but yeah as a vet my practice and you know my playing time is not not as a lot as I you know as I would want it to be but that's just how it is during the preseason so you'll see very few me during the preseason and then you know when the season starts you know that's when we get rolling. So Big Ben have you have you thrown the ball with him he's he's looking so skinny what the hell happened? Do you guys actually call him Big Ben now? What do you guys call him? He's like Slim Ben. Yeah Slim Ben. Me and Ben. Have you ever seen him in a walking boot? I've never seen him in a walking boot. That's a lie. Not true. You're lying that's fine that's fine.

He keeps walking boots in his closet like they're Timbs. Yeah he just like slaps one on in the morning he's like yeah it feels like a walking boot day. Come on. So obviously we've been working together that's something that you know he brought us together as you know as a team as you just to talk to us and you know also to throw and work out and that's something that you know working with him on this offseason he's pretty much back to where he's at you know back to 100%. As you guys know he lost some weight and that's probably the better for you know for him and the better for our team so I'm super excited what he was going to bring to the table you know like I said he'll always be big then to the stillest fans. Yeah I mean NFL's more fun with Ben in it.

Does he when he's in the huddle what's he like is he ever like fucking juju just get open like I'll I'll fucking hit you dude like I'm gonna throw wherever I want. Bro I wish I mean I wish in the huddle he's more of like you know come on boys like we've been here before this is nothing new this is just practice you know we worked on it you know since day one you know like especially when it goes to like two minute offense where we have to drive down the score you know as a kid and you know I grew up watching him and doing that and then when fast fast forward like five six years later I'm in the same huddle as him and he's you know he's talking to me and I was like this is what it feels like but it's fun man like when you're in a huddle you don't want to leave

or let nobody down so it's all about you know your teammates. Yeah was there like an adjustment period learning how to play with him at quarterback because a lot of times you'll run your route and then Ben will somehow have like two defensive ends on his shoulder pads like a stray cat ran on the field like bit his leg and he's dragging that around he's got another guy around his waist but he's still like extending that play and looking for you downfield like were there some times when you cut off a route and you're like oh he's sacked right now oh shit he's still up. Yeah man with Ben you just never know what's gonna happen it's hard to you know back in you know obviously his eyes and that's something that you know in practice we do a lot of scramble

drills a lot of drills that you know you pretty much are running you know left and right and I would say half of my plays that I've made this season is obviously off of just broken up plays. Yeah um how is uh bougie doing your dog very cute dog. Oh bougie's lit man I was just with him right now he's with his girlfriend uh Porsche they're hanging out so the dog is cooler than I am. Dude 223,000 Instagram followers bougie and right now he's lit and he's hanging out with his girlfriend Porsche. That sounds like better than anyone else is doing right now. Man that's awesome how long they've been dating for? Honestly I would say since they first met so I would say about almost two years. That's that's what 14 dog. Dude bougie better put a ring on it. Yeah I know for

sure you know bougie's you know I'm trying you know get some babies out of them. I read that you played for Snoop Dogg as a head coach back in the day is that right? I did I did. Yeah Snoop what's he like as a head coach like compared to Mike Tomlin is Snoop Dogg a visor guy. Bro hi yeah at the end of the day is like whatever he says it doesn't really matter because he's Snoop Dogg and our team that we have was legit like legit like all the players we have on our team we all pretty much went D1 just because you know he had the most lit team it was his league and it was fun man I played with his son too so it was a fun experience. I can see a little bit of similarity actually between Snoop Dogg and Tomlin in that you know they're probably polar opposites

personality wise but they both have this ability to say things that don't really make sense but you understand exactly what they mean when they say it. Yeah yeah yeah now for sure I mean one of the things is like you know one of the things that Coach Tomlin would say would just be like like no matter like who you are how you get here doesn't matter all that matters is that we got to go out there and win and it's just like what we take out of that is like obviously we got to win right the standard is the standard extra stuff but he says it but at the end of the day like it gets all of us pumped up fired up and we go out there we get the job done we went again we go home that's it. Yeah how many times a day do you think Mike Tomlin says at the end of the day? Uh I don't even know

that's a good question. You should count you should bring a clicker like to use it for us to count people uh and just kind of count them out one bit. Yeah probably like five or six ten. Yeah I'd say yeah probably double figures. Does he ever say shit that you're just like what is he what is he talking about? We have a couple we've done a couple segments Mike Tomlin quotes because I think he's one of those coaches that uh he's obviously a big time player coach but then sometimes he'll say something very relatable actually where in your head it's like this is going to be profound and then it comes out and you're like wait what did he just say? What what was the big one that we had last year? Uh I mean he came up with the standard. The red barn thing remember he had something

about fuck now I can't think of it. Painting something bring bring your own paint if you want a barn I don't know. Does he have quotes that you're just like wait what is he saying right now I don't fully follow but I know he's right. I mean when you when you ask someone who's you know who's been coaching for you for what the past three years you know you kind of like it's repetitive you know you hear the same things uh you know some things may change a little bit but uh at the end of the day uh so like when someone gets in trouble or like someone gets like a fine all he says is bang bang so like if like if you're late you get fine for 5k or if you don't make a practice or a meeting and you walk in late or your phone goes off he's like bang bang. I like that I like that I'm going to start

using that for Billy our intern when he fucks up I'm just going to point the guns at bang yeah got fine $500 intern gone. I have a bone to pick with you because I was watching one of your videos that you put up on Twitter the other day it was your garage workout thing that you did you had you set up a garage to work out but you left out the most important part of a garage workout and that's the fridge that you keep in the garage that only has beer in it and then you drink your beer after the after the workout every garage has to have that fridge in it why did you not have a beer fridge I don't drink man that's something that's that's personal to me I've never been a drinker um I mean I'm not I drunk one time in my life and uh wasn't the best it wasn't the

best feeling actually it was in college I was playing beer pump for the first time you know I'm not I'm a football player at this fried party you know you know I'm having a great time you know this guy this uh my teammate's like you know let's play man I really beat these kids out you know my my teammate he was really good I mean he was I would say that he was probably the one of the best players I've ever seen and that night he had too much to drink so we lost I'm drinking beer I don't know what type of beer it is so I'm drinking beer and like the next morning I'm supposed to be on like Fox Sports West talking about pipe twelves football stuff and I ended up like not making it like black that whole like because I had too much beer like I woke up my voice was like all like

raspy and ever since then like I've never like I've stopped you know drinking and that's uh that's why I don't have to be in the refrigerator you're probably gonna live longer than all of us I probably like that probably you can feel it in uh like doing athletic stuff I this is a dumb question that I ask uh most wide receivers we have on but do you ever have a moment where you're just like it's fucking awesome to be this fast like you're just running and you're like this is sick I'm fast um it's a dumb question I'm a slow guy so I don't know what it's like to be fast like is it ever just like oh shit this is cool man I'm fast no for me it's not more so about I would I would say like when I think about oh I'm fast I'm like yeah I think I'm fast like

fast enough to get away but I'm not like fast like you're talking about like we talk about other guys fast like I look at them like damn he's fast like there's guys on my team he's fast we're from myself I'm like yeah I can get by like the second defender and yeah how much I can get before I get tackled okay okay I like that answer um I'm a huge college football fan I do believe that I love traditional powers I do believe USC not being good the last few years has uh hurt the Pac-12 and college football overall because we need USC to be good how the hell do they get good again what's going on man honestly brother like I think we just got to recruit better and then the biggest part for us like recruiting is we got to go down south we need like those big guys you know who's

gonna be in the trenches because we're gonna have the athletes we're gonna have the skill players you know California like that's what we're just known for receivers running backs we're gonna have a quarterback you know that's the most definitely we're gonna have but our biggest problem is I think where we could be great at is like I think we could be better in the trenches yeah that's an interesting problem I've never really thought about it that way that like the state of California is too healthy to produce great offensive linemen and defense alignment would would you say that's accurate yeah yeah I mean I would say it's up there you know if you think about the down south like you think about like Alabama you think about those top tier teams like

they're a running game team like they're gonna run they're gonna run a ball pound the ball they're gonna throw it too I think in the Pac-12 like we throw the ball a lot you know and I think it's awesome you know it's cool I like when we throw the ball but at the end of the day like I think we have to be able to just run the ball more uh and just dominate in all aspects of the field so I think USC you know like I said we started off you know we've been slow the past couple years but you know I think we're on the rise and I think we're gonna be a team like you said a traditional team that's gonna come up uh so one thing I love about you is you seem to you seem to be like a guy who doesn't uh take life too seriously and you do little things that are always

very funny you went trick-or-treating as yourself in full uniform um that's a hilarious move how many people like how long did it take for people to realize like oh wait that's juju like he's wearing his full uniform that's juju for for a while man like a lot of kids and like obviously like when you're on out you're wearing such uniform we're like the whole legit like oh my gosh it's juju it's juju but it's like is it really juju because it's on I have a visor and they can't really see my face and so I took it off they're like oh my gosh it's really juju so um it's just something that's that's my personality my life you know I don't I feel like we have a lot of uh we have a lot of NFL guys you know who are you know pro athletes who legit just focus on their

own sports which is totally fine I don't have nothing against that you know I think that if you love football if you love golf hockey basketball whatever it may be like that's all you but um like you said like like LeBron he's more than an athlete like those are a few guys who are just like out there who just like show more of your personality and you know with football players it's so hard to do that when you have a helmet on so outside of football you know I live my life to the fullest I make youtube videos I do things that you know I can't be doing I do collabs with other youtubers I do stuff for other instagram people but at the end of the day you know I do love football and that's one thing that I always get shit for is that like because you really love football because you really

care about football but at the end of the day I'm just a human being too and I love what I do I love football I love my teammates I love to play football but at the end of the day I don't want to be you know juju myself because when football is done like what am I gonna hire right right I think it's more than possible for for somebody playing the NFL excel at the sport and to have a personality off the field too I think that we're starting to see that more and more yeah that's like also that's one of the hardest things to do is it's a dominate on the field and also to be you know active off the field because once you once you start doing bad on the field and people look at other things oh he's doing youtube videos he's playing too much video games stuff like that well I the twitch

part is great because you get to interact with your fans and I know your big you know fortnite we so we rated part of my take twitch rated your stream like two weeks ago and we brought I don't know like 10 or 15 000 people over and what I don't understand I hope you can explain this to me you play in the NFL you played at USC you play in front of hundreds of thousands of people millions watching on tv but when your stream went from like 600 people to like 10 000 you're like holy shit all these people are watching me why well how is that nerve-wracking when you play in the NFL I was like it's totally different you know you have millions of people watching like the fans and people on tv who are watching you through tv it's different because like you're out there by

yourself and I mean you're out there like with your teammates and everything you haven't humbed on no one's really focusing on you unless you make a big play right and then you get on the computer and now you have like this camera that's just white right in front of you and it's just one on one and you're interacting with your friends and and it's crazy like when people rate anybody like it can't even be a thousand viewers and people go crazy you know and it's just that you know I'm excited I'm happy um you know when you guys rated me when other people rate me um it's cool because like you said it's it's a different platform for me this is not my original platform you know if they had a football stream me I'm pretty sure you know my viewers probably a lot

higher but you know to be on twitch it's it's unbelievable man like it's so awesome like what you can do on twitch shows yeah you know it just gets me excited man when you get like even like a thousand years I'm like oh let's go let's go yeah yeah and I saw that you started your own esports organization team diverge is that it yeah man so uh growing up as a kid I was been a huge gamer it was always a passion and um you know at one point I was part of faith and you know being with them like I've learned so much and it's unbelievable what they do and I was like man like if I'm if I'm so into gaming I love gaming and if I would start any business of mine my personal from the bottom up what would I do and then they came down to gaming and that's something I've

been passionate about and hopefully you know we'll be launching soon within the next two weeks and you know we'll be in organization and we're we're not just gamers but we're also lifestyle oh I like that I like that a lot all right so juju I had one last question uh it is grit week so we're going to run this during grit week that's next week um and we're sponsored by body armor grit week uh you can go get body armor at drinkbodyarmor.com or uh any other flavors on amazon I'm a strawberry banana guy I love it it's the best so go get body armor right now so my body armor question so it is grit week we always ask our guests what does the word grit mean to you and when have you had to use it in your career I mean what is give me give me an example how you

would use grit um all right well uh making a team or um you know what it takes to be excellent in the NFL like that extra bit when your talent doesn't get all the way that you know I mean like when your talent uh isn't enough you have to put in that extra work that extra effort like you know has there been a moment where you said to yourself you know okay I have god given talent but I'm gonna have to do x y and z to make sure that I'm getting to the next level yeah man that's a good one uh for myself I would say grit is something that um you know I've always been I was always you know fortunate to be on a good team and I was always fortunate to make the team and to be you know do enough you know to get by and then when I got to NFL like that's when I had to like

face you know adversity and that's when grit came into my life because you know I was put on a team on the side of me where you know I had ab I had labion I had big band I had you know James carna come in and he's from pit I had so many other you know martin this brand you have so many unskilled players that I like I've never ever had the face of like not starting a game like my whole life I've always started a football game whether if I was up warning going to high school I was always top tier number one and I got to NFL I kind of got like sit down like you're not starting this game and it even got to the point where like am I even gonna suit up this game and that's probably one of the hardest things I've had to face you know being behind you know ab martin this brand and

like those guys and Eli Rogers not being able to start a game and that's where grit came in like that's where I had to put in the extra that's where I had to you know stay at the meetings talk to my coach put an extra film um mentally you know because um that's the only way I was gonna play it wasn't the physicality it wasn't the mental thing like I had all that that came to me get it I was naturally with that the only thing that was the hardest part was how much do you know the playbook how much playbook do you know like where where can you play where where do I fit in this and that's an example of grit being able to know all the positions and all the players you know on the team because at the end of the day you know like everyone's is established and everyone's gonna get

there get their way I like that answer I like that answer a lot we're gonna let you go before we do let me just grab one quick headline out of you what is your record going to be this year is it going to be 11 and five or 12 and four you said 11 and five and 12 and four which one am I taking yeah uh man I'm going I'm I'm going with uh 13 and three 13 and three even better 13 and three I gotta find these I really want to go back down the rabbit hole next time you come on oh if you have oh here it is if you have red paint you paint your your barn in red that was a mike tommy oh yeah he was talking about you're talking about mason rood off get into the game yeah barn yeah if you have red paint you paint your barn in red simple as could be

I mean at that standard is that like I don't even know what right right it's my tommy quotes yes I'm gonna put that something together that's like okay if you run a 14 if you have a 14 heart route run your route at 14 yeah I think he's I think the context of that quote was mason rood off is our starting quarterback this week so we're going to start mason rood off yeah he also had I think about duck like he hasn't killed us yet I hope he doesn't kill us or something like that it's like what's going on I love mike tommy he's fast that's awesome yo and uh the best flavor is uh probably watermelon from body armor oh okay perfect I actually like that one too we like strawberry banana and the watermelon too yeah yeah strawberry banana watermelon just go to you all right well

know the the guy who has to find a way to make the roster not the you know first round draft pick the gritty guys to fill out a roster the guys that don't get the acclaim as some of the uh glory boys out there so that's right you're the perfect guy uh let's start with actually can we just kind of go through some parts on your blog because i thought the best part was you gave tips to guys like how can you be gritty and make an nfl team yeah let's start there okay shut the fuck up and lay low was the first tip what what uh what is it like when you first go into a locker room in the nfl and you're thinking like oh i played in a brass guy played some big time football and then bam holy shit this is a different different world yeah i mean you're nervous as

shit like you're walking in a locker room with grown men you're not in college anymore no one really knows who the fuck you are and no one like over the years you see rookies come in you see guys do well you see guys do poorly in camp and no one likes when rookies come in with some type of running their mouth at all talking too much a saying i always heard shout out shawn laval he was like the first one to say it don't speak unless spoken to he would tell rookies that at the table jason hatcher who came to the red who came to the football team he would say he would tell rookie say don't speak unless spoken to no one wants to hear a rookie speak keep your head down work so that was kind of the first thing because for myself writing a blog i have a podcast

now i obviously i'm on social media a lot i put in there i love the fucking circle jerk as much as the next guy like i love joking i love talking a lot of shit i love having a great time but when you're a rookie going in don't don't follow suit of all the social media you've been doing don't follow suit of everything you see around you don't follow a veteran you gotta fucking put your head down shut the fuck up and you're there to make a football team so where where does the line get drawn because i know a lot of players come in especially if they're a high pick you were undrafted but if if they're a high pick they come in they've got some pride right they've got uh like almost like a small sense of entitlement sometimes especially if they're a high first round pick

where does that line get drawn between like hey you can stand up for yourself you have to respect me as a human being and yeah i'm a rookie i'm gonna shut up and do whatever the fuck you asked me to do and keep my mouth shut yeah i mean it never gets it never really gets that disrespect pull it's kind of just assume that you understand and if you don't um as you guys know like sitting around a table with all the boys like somebody gets shirt that jokes on and usually guys are able to take jokes well um but if you're somebody who has like say for instance you go up on a rookie for a rookie skit and you're like what's your sign of bonus and somebody's like you know a million dollars everybody just starts going crazy like oh shit he's a paid guy blah blah blah like veterans

don't don't care um how much like a rookie comes in because that guy who's like a high round draft pick like you still got to prove yourself and a lot of those guys understand that like we actually just had aj brown on and he actually seemed like an awful rookie by the way arthur won you're a shitty rookie um but apparently he was like uh no i'm not gonna take no shit like he's somebody that kind of was like went against the grain i want to say des brian might have been like that saying i'm not gonna carry pads around and do this and that but it's just kind of like the fraternity of entering in the nfl last year when i was on the saints this rookie he didn't want to do a rookie skit and if you suck at doing rookie skits and you don't have anything to perform

or make fun of or do a presentation they usually make you get up and sing and this one this one rookie he was actually an undrafted cat it was tough to watch dude i just watched him basically crash and burn right there i knew he was gone and um he didn't want to get up to sing kind of the whole prideful thing like you know i'm not going to be disrespected blah blah blah and demario davis stood up and this was i was only on the saints for like 10 days and um demario davis stood up and kind of went off about how close the saints were to a super bowl and how it came down and he started asking guys hey how many plays away were we from going to the super bowl hey how many obviously that one play that everybody knows about and um he's like it's not about yourself

like you're in this room you're in a you're in a you're in an environment of a team like cameron jordan spoke up in the back and you kind of just felt that like dudes the team policed themselves i'm sitting back listening to demario very well spoken cat a lot of respect for demario and he's explaining to this rookie like hey you got to get outside yourself and i don't care what what the fuck people tell you to do like you're a rookie you're doing it because you're on for the sake of the team not your own individual self like yeah you're gonna get laughed at and people are gonna wipe paper and throw it up at you and boo you off and it's just part of it like you're getting like initiated you're part of the you're part of the fraternity like everyone's

taking you in outside of that like it's just part of the gig we're doing this for the for the team not your individual self so that was that's where i guess i would explain a line being drawn because that shit does happen guys get a little guys get a little defensive and prideful about having to do something if something as small as like singing a song but uh but you know when leadership stands up and speaks like somebody like demario and cam jordan you got all those guys kind of standing up and speaking to you everybody kind of just shuts up and listens what was your skit that you did i made fun of all the coaches so um i i said i would sit in the deep the linebacker room and i would kind of take manualisms and stuff that my linebacker coach would do like his one

liners and i can uh i would mock him with a clicker with a laser pointer of how we watch film i would make fun i made fun of the decorator about how he presents film and so i kind of just did a bunch of different coaches and then i had guys kind of reenact like what they actually did a film like if they had a dumb answer and how i would respond to them whether it's somebody like london fletcher compared to if somebody had the same answer if they were a rookie and how i would shit on the rookie but but be like oh that makes a lot of sense london that makes a lot of sense and uh i also did it on the titans i made fun of rabal i had a great skit with rabal would you cut your dick off no that was before the dick cutting but brave brave brave you guys know brave

yeah he's a football guy dude but uh through yeah he was he was uh he was super fun to do him and uh his assistant stretch shout out stretch we put together this whole highlight film of like you know taylor got turned around by jason pierre paul in our joint practice and um bust of taylor's ass about hey how much hey john how much we fucking pay this guy and just did a whole bit but that's kind of like my stitch making fun or mocking people so i i always wondering when you talk to nfl guys they you know they truly do just care about what you can do for the team on the field as a guy who went in and you know was you know towards the end of the roster was there a moment where some of the guys who've been there for a while look to you and was like wait this guy

can actually help us and that like validates why you're there yeah those are that's probably one of the better feelings to get is like a rookie or going into my second year when i actually made the team because the first year i just i was on practice squad um but when those vets come up to you because when you go into camp and like guys who have been there like your room is already predetermined um not predetermined but everybody kind of has a sense of like when somebody gets drafted each year and if it's a linebacker you kind of understand that that backer might be there you're not thinking of any undrafted together they bring in you already think your room is set and then once you get there and you start witnessing um like an underdog type guy showing

out and the coach talking about them in meetings and bringing them up and then a vet comes over to you and talks about hey man like you can make this team like you you legit have a shot and you don't know how stuff's gonna work out you can't think about that don't think about are they gonna keep an extra db are they gonna keep this like just keep doing your thing man because i'm telling you like coach doesn't say this or guys don't think this way about it um but once you once you start to feel that from a veteran um that's when you you feel good about where you're at because guys just it's like it's like you guys like if you guys already understood who you're going to be working with and then some person that you never even heard of or

was on the list in front of you they're kind of showing out and you're kind of like yo i respect that dude like who is that like that should be your intern or somebody who works with us and then you kind of validate them it's probably like you know fucking waking up on christmas morning and and the reverse happens too like not to name names but i i've i've heard stories where guys have said like yeah we would bring in you know our first round draft pick or our second round draft pick and almost instantly the veterans on the team be like no this guy's this isn't like he doesn't have it like he doesn't yeah he doesn't have he's not going to be an nfl guy for long and it's crazy to think that like just playing with a guy on the practice field you could probably figure something

out faster than a scout could do watching a guy for four years yeah for sure i mean obviously between players and like scouting department players think scouts suck scouts tell players they probably stick to playing um there's always like that division of like who can judge talent shit like that because as a player you're like you know i fucking do this blah blah blah and then you got the scouts who judge you and people in the media who could try and place you in a box but um yeah like i i always hate it for those high round guys who might not be showing tapping into their potential yet and guys are already trying to say you know use the word bust or something else just because it's like you just know it's a young mind still stepping into this

grown man's game so however he's being talked to whether your arms around them or you're hyping him up or giving him confidence like it affects everybody mentally i mean it's it's not like anybody's superman in the head like everybody's acceptable to any kind of criticism so it sucks to see when that happens one of the things that i saw that you listed here was uh you need to get to know the special teams coach if you want to make the team as an undrafted guy obviously special teams coach controls a lot of the numbers because he can be like i can i use this dude on kick return i use this dude on punt return etc etc and it kind of gives you a home uh so in other words you're saying like be a suck up be a little bit of a suck up the special teams coach what did you

do did you like bring dany smith extra packs of chewing gum or like how did you get in with him um how i got in with him well i was always um it took me a little bit to get uh to be a better special teams player because i didn't play it at nebraska and i wasn't the best special teamer that's probably why i was on practice squad my first year because i was always solid at playing linebacker like i get back up every spot but special teams i was struggling for whatever reason in my second year adam hayward took me under his wing shout out the boy adam hayward and um he's like a minutes he was like a minute special teamer played like nine ten years in the league and he was brought to the uh washington football team as a special teamer and so adam

and i were super tight he kind of took me under his wing so the fact that i was around him and he would joke with me and tell the special teams coach like no coach like i got him he's my guy blah blah blah this and that that helped me out um i wasn't necessarily a suck up but you know you gotta you gotta have some good jokes in the old bell you gotta you have to play the game man hey pft you know you're going into these going into the world of football like you're trying to rub some elbows every now and then you got to learn how to play the game without seeming too much like a try hard yeah me and pep we were just playing grab ask for a while on the sidelines there because i knew that at the end of the day he was going to be the one who decided if i made the team

or not yeah if you're if you're a fringe guy they're going to ask the special teams coach how is he at special teams uh more specifically the punt team because that's the most trusted unit and that's the coach is going to kind of stand on the table for you so you want to make sure he has good words to say because if he shits on you and he's got a lot of respect in the coaching department like you know you're going to be cut that was my problem is i they asked like how is he at special teams and they're like well he sucks that's his entire job he's the play specialty and he's not good at that so it was tough for me um so will the we always hear about guys you know hurt versus injured and trying to make a roster i'm sure you were in that spot a lot where you were banged up

and uh had to show up and work what what was like the worst moment with the lowest moment when it comes to like holy shit i don't feel good but i got to go in and i got to practice and i can't i can't give up reps from trying to make this team no doubt um yeah that's a good question and there's so much gray in that question because it's hard to judge how somebody's like feeling because stuff that we might play through some other guy can't i mean whether or not we want to say he's a pussy or not it's just it just is what it is but um my hardest moment and probably my most pivotal moment um was my first year when i was obviously fighting to make any kind of part of the roster i was seventh on the depth chart out of seven linebackers so there's a first team of two

a second team of two a third team of two and then me and um it was brutal it was very humbling and you just realize that oh these guys aren't bow polini and they don't they're not as close as bow makes it sound to where everyone knows who you are and they know i'm some heady savvy football player like no one gives a fuck and um the first day of training camp kina robinson tourist peck the first day he was out the year before with the peck injury and um the next year training camp was supposed to be like him and london fletcher and he tears his peck so immediately i go up to the threes and there was another undrafted cat ahead of me named jeremy kimbrough and in the second week of training camp kimbrough strains his hamstring and so i now get to move up with the

twos and mind you all summer long i'm i'm breaking down the redskins offense because i'm trying to figure out shanna ann mcvayla flur they were all in the office of staff i'm trying to figure out every tendency that they have based on what they're going to try to get better at in practice during training camp which is going to be some fundamental stuff but i i knew that the couple reps i would get in practice i had to be perfect at those reps i had to like vocalize like if i knew what the play was like i was going to just fucking scream and yell it and if it worked out if i'm me on hey watch play pass play pass play pass ball one it happens you want coaches to know like yo this guy kind of knows what the fuck he's doing out there um and so then i got thrusted into the twos

and that week that i got thrusted into the twos was the week leading up to my first preseason game and i actually tear my hamstring that week and i didn't know it at the time that i tore my hamstring i just thought i had a really bad strain i like woke up the next morning i could like barely walk and we go out to walk through and like you know obviously all the undrafted like all of us we were we have to do the walkthrough like we have to be the serves team and i kind of like weaseled my way into the back and didn't show face and kind of skipped the walkthrough because i was trying to figure out how i can get through and practice because in my mind it's like this is my opportunity and i can't this is this is this is fucked because my hamstring is fucked right now

so i went to a trainer that i trusted i called him dr evil shout out dr evil and um i basically told him i'm like hey do whatever we can to basically duct tape this thing to where i don't have a lot of flexion kicking up and because i have to practice like the guy ahead of me is out with an injury he's you know running stuff on the side like you know he's an undrafted cat and he chose to you know do rehab and stuff like this is my chance to show stuff so he like tapes me up i'm taking tour at all you know i'm doing the shit that guys you know obviously you read bad stuff on that you don't necessarily that's not the healthiest route to go i'm not saying you everybody needs to do that that's what i chose because the most important thing at that time

was making the redskins the football teams football team and um that day i go out there fortunately my mentor flies in that same day he's like making sure it just works out that he flies in that day he's just asking me he's like you know what do you think i'm like i there's truly like i have to try and go and if i can't i'll just get injured while i'm out there on the field in front of him because right now they don't necessarily know what happened to me i kind of didn't say anything and then it woke up and it's way worse than it was then i thought it was i go out there and have two interceptions and a pbu and that day was the most pivotal day for me personally because shanahan comes out to me coach mike shanahan he's like hey i'm gonna have to start

calling you like mr intercept interception i get the nod to be the number two that week in pre-season i led the pre-season that year in tackles like all of my opportunities came to make the practice squad that year and that kind of set me up for the next year because i was on everybody's radar at that point um but that was probably my toughest like injury the whole be a fucking wolf mentality thing comes from is like that's the moment that i feel like made my career in the nfl so then what how long did you did you have torn hamstring for the entire season yeah so the doctor like uh i mean pft you i mean you might know being around uh the facilities and stuff like you know it's you don't get the best treatment washington football team doesn't have the best name in the training room

i was told that it was a strain and i didn't know until the next year from a like an outside source because you start learning like i started asking vets like how do you take care of your body and this and that and we're using other we're using other sources to go visit and get uh get checked on and get body work done and that's uh finding out from another uh pt i found out he was like rubbing over this huge uh scar tissue he's like hey do you uh do you tear hamstring before and i was like no not that i know he's like man it feels really bad up here like it was at like the bottom of my ass it's like the worst part to have it and um that's how i kind of found out i had a torn hamstring but i was always told i had like a strain and i would just kind of do the whole

ice and stem and you know all this stuff the bullshit that they do in the training room nowadays anyway at least it wasn't like a cancerous growth on your scalp they're like oh no it's actually not your hamstring uh we're just gonna operate on that hey no doubt dude and hey i'm glad you're like a washington fan because you know a lot of these stories that was pretty fucked up it's fun oh for sure fucked up and i'm uh you know i have a story where i was my first year of free agency when i signed with the titans before i went to the titans um the bills had just i think Preston Brown just signed with the Cincinnati Bengals and so the bills had a void a middle linebacker the bills call me within like probably 10 minutes to fly out do a physical

i actually found out that i had a a growth a white mass growth in a c-spine MRI and the doc at the bills was actually saying hey we're not talking about football anymore like you need to go get this checked out that the redskins we looked back on stuff and the washington football team kind of missed my c-spine MRIs because i was getting checked out because of some stinger history uh so that's why i had an MRI up there and the redskins had missed seeing that white mass in my skull so i had the i flew back the washington football days took care of me um like i know i have there's some sketchy stories in there but they also take a they took very good care of me when i got in and they found out that fortunately it was uh it was just a cyst that i had that i had had for a

while but the neurosurgeon or the neurologist or whatever that does uh the brain MRI readings he thought it was cancerous at first and that entire night after my bills visited because we're like obviously we're not going to offer you because you have this growth that we have no idea what's going on in your brain right now that you need to get checked out fortunately it turned out it was just a cyst but dude going off your story with tron Williams like it's uh for it to happen twice in the same locker room is not that's not like a ringing endorsement like i'd i'd rather have field surgery in the civil war and you push back on me when i said alex smith's personal physician cleared him yeah exactly yeah that is a good thing yeah you should you should use your

personal position i know i heard i listened to your guys episode with deon at the day that was phenomenal um i had a question about when you get offered to be on the practice squad or when you get told that they're going to try to put you on the practice squad and at that point you still have to clear waivers right you have to go through like any other team can sign you to their active roster um it's obviously not like dejecting like getting cut but you're you're probably not super pumped either that's a practice squad right or did you have like did you think that's what was going to happen yeah you're not you're not super pumped because so going into the fourth game a scout had came up to me i was like hey man you actually you have a shot

of making this team like if you just black out and make a couple plays on special teams and i was thinking in my head at the time i was like fuck like i hate special teams and um he was like you got a shot and um unfortunately like i didn't make the team but they call you uh that morning you wake up you understand pad days come and the grim reapers coming for you you walk in the facility there's usually the grim reapers are the scouts are standing all over the rails and you're just waiting to be picked off if you can make it down it's kind of like walking into a buckle if you can make it to the back of the store without being talked to if you need help if you make it down to the locker room without being asked to bring your ipad to the facility or to the office you've made it

so i walk yeah i get i get the phone call like hey man we have good news and bad news like bad news is we're gonna cut you i'm like okay i don't know how it goes up from here but the good news is we want to have a practice spot yeah yeah yeah yeah uh but the good news is we want to bring you back on the practice squad if you clear waivers oh my all right and so you're kind of in the shuttle with the boys like all of us are getting cut you're kind of just sitting there like what they tell you like oh we just got a phone call kind of texting your you know the people that are in your circle you're like hey i'm fucking i'm getting cut and then i got to clear waivers for 24 hours but um you know they say they want to bring me back on the peace squad

and it was um nerve wrecking because there was nine of us on the shuttle and there's only eight guys who are on the we're on the peace squad at the time turns out they bring us all they were trying to sign us all and they realized they had nine guys and they ended up having to let one guy go after they told me you made the peace squad it was devastating dude we're all we're all in the room like once we cleared waivers like guys were like hey come like you might get picked up like your number three linebacker right now on pff or whatever and i'm like oh hell yeah let's go obviously don't get picked up because it doesn't matter that much and then so the next day i'm like okay we can do peace squad um solid money to practice a few days a week and you know you're

hoping you don't get cut in a few weeks and so we all get in the room to sign our paperwork and somebody comes in they're like hey i don't know if you guys know this but we can only have eight and there's nine of you sitting in here they're like uh uh my man i won't say his name they're like hey my man you got to come with us and he like stands up stay out of the show i love it i'm a survivor whose job was it to count though i feel like that's a pretty basic football operation like jpp was in the back of the room trying to figure out how many guys are there and how many get to to hang out like you should know it should be it should be eight guys right that's not that difficult yeah we understood when we were all sitting there like hey uh we all

think we're making the practice well but there's nine of us sitting in here so we're all kind of just sitting waiting but hey pft man you know it's it's that operation well it's probably also the number they probably thought one of you guys was gonna get picked up so it's like by someone else possibly but that's 24 hours right yeah but that's 24 hours the next day you're still in the hotel they gotta send you a shuttle to bring you over at that time you gotta know like the the ninth guy the odd man out you should have already let him know once the waivers happen yeah so now that this year is gonna be a little bit different you address this a little bit in your blog but um as an undrafted guy if you only have it looks like what eight or nine practices where you're where you're going full

speed to show off and and show what you have uh no preseason games it doesn't look like how are you how how is the uh evaluation process weighted towards like if you do it in a preseason game doesn't mean a whole lot more than if you're just super consistent in practice or there have been guys that you know absolutely sucked in practice but then killed it during like game two and three and they end up making the squad yeah all of those situations like preseason games are definitely weighted for guys that are bubble guys guys that aren't seeing that are going to make the team for all those young guys that are trying to fight for a spot preseason games matter because you can ball out and practice and be terrible once you get under the lights in the game because when you're out

there coach isn't holding your hand he's not the plays aren't scripted for you you can't go back and watch days before and realize okay i'm in run period right now they're all going to be runs and maybe one play action pass in my set so you can't guess like you can't say okay we're in seven on seven we're in team blitz period we're in team third down like you're out there trying to think the game as the game's going with tempo and coaches want to see you guys execute that without a coach stopping the play stopping anything oh wait he needs a fucking tie a shoe um you're doing it out there and trying to communicate uh with all the players and you're trying to prove that you can take from the practice field to the game they're also the opposite happens that you brought up where

there might be a slappy in practice where he kind of gets a bad rap out of the gate um and he shows out in the game to where eyes get open and coaches might be not not forced but um advice to give a little more attention and see if that guy has something to him that practice um because he could have had say he could have gave a bad first impression or done shitty rookie skits and he's just got a tarnished name but then he balls out in that first preseason game everybody's like oh he the man can play a little bit so all of those things happen that's why i hate that preseason isn't happening like being older like it's nice that preseason isn't happening but for those guys who are trying to make it the way i kind of came in um it's gonna be fucking hard man yeah um all right

so i had one last question uh it is our body armor question you drink body armor right love body armor drink body armor calm check it out you can also buy on amazon uh love the strawberry banana body armor is the best um so my last question was we this is actually kind of full circle so our first i think it was actually the first grit week ever we talked to bo polini who you played for at nebraska so uh what was the biggest like life lesson grit lesson that bo instilled in you when you were uh playing for him in nebraska oh that's easy dude it's it's his full it's his full mantra it's his creed when he's when he's coaching and leading it's focused on the process compete every day and it sounds stupid it's cliche as fuck but bo would always say like i am not here to babysit you

like you're either like we he had a standard of going to class like teachers would email him notes and he would read him he would read him in the team meeting room and fucking you can only imagine how he is in a team meeting room but he'd be like uh uh josh uh molak and josh we kind of like pick his head up and he gotta he'd say his name wrong he'd be like josh molak he'd be like uh molak sir he'd like stand the he'd like stand the fuck up and he'd talk about sleeping in classes and that he'd fucking chuck a water bottle and he would say like uh basically i'm not here to babysit you guys you're either an all the time person or you're none of it like you're not just going to show up on saturdays and play you're going to go to class you're you're going to practice you're

going to prepare like everything is all about the process like if you live in a results-oriented world you're going to fail because you're going to be moved by external factors all the time people are going to label you you're going to buy into it because all you give a shit about is what results are being said to you and what you're trying to attain and what you might miss out on it's like it's all about the fucking process and that was probably the biggest thing bow instilled in myself and i know he carries it for everywhere he coaches it's focused on the process compete every day and it's funny because he coached deon in san francisco i was listening to your guys's interview with deon which is awesome um he is the best to ever do it but he had a story about deon because guys would

want to you know wear you know be swaggy or dance or do stuff in college and not that bow made guys do it his way or the highway but he would kind of tell stories and bring up examples of somebody like deon who he got to coach in san francisco he said one time they were watching film and this guy he messed up on a play and the teammate was like oh don't worry about it i'll get it on sunday and he said deon um bow's words not mine i don't know if deon actually put him against the wall or grabbed him by the shirt collar but he said deon told the man that hey you're either gonna get it all the time or there's not gonna be a sunday you're either gonna put it on film all the fucking time or you're not gonna be out there with us on sunday and he would always

say that less and it's it's just always stuck with me dude because it just the world doesn't give a shit what's what's going on with you like you i say it in the blog like you're the one who lives with your stress at night like hopefully fortunately everybody gets to have a wife and they kind of take some stress with them but even she doesn't know exactly what's going on at night when you're laying there thinking about what's coming the next day in the day ahead and the sun's gonna rise the next day and you have a fucking choice to either bring that big dick energy or to shell up and let external and let external people and factors move your emotion because when you rely on that you're just gonna fail like you got me we scroll on twitter all the time you read bad

shit about yourself and you're in external shits moving you like you're gonna feel shitty about yourself but if you know what you're doing and what you're gonna give me you feel me i'm working like medium average dick energy which is huge dick it's a great yeah i'm not great message but that's what i roll with but i have to ask with that message what did bow we were texting last night i happened to be just flipping through the channels and there was a game on the big 10 network um what did bow say after the big 10 championship when wisconsin won 70 to 31 and hold on wisconsin curt philips the starting quarterback for wisconsin his stat line 70 points pft guess his stat line um wait when you were texting with bow last night no i thought that was with will

oh i have no idea he did say will before the show okay i thought you were texting with bow no with will okay on nebraska you played on nebraska when they lost to 70 to 31 and what was the quarterback for wisconsin's stat line i think he probably had a uh was it like 21 for 22 he was six for eight for 71 yards and wisconsin's went up 70 how was that pot i'll tell you how it's possible you were a linebacker yeah eight rushing touchdowns 539 yards jesus christ hey dude a big guy was texting me and he's like hey i'm like that game legitimately like i i know alex engold he played at wisconsin and he talks about the game like i try and trip wisconsin but truly i never feel good about bringing up wisconsin's name ever because i am so fucking destroyed about that performance um he's

like hey at least uh taylor martinez he had a solid run in the first quarter trying to make it better yes it doesn't make it hurt any less dude what did bow say after that because that has to be like the bow that you don't want to see no honestly you didn't see that bow because we yeah you got we got our shit pushed in so bad that i don't think anybody understood what was happening to us at the time so when uh we were in the locker room it was it was fucking sad dude it was uh it was just quiet like everyone's just quiet and it's just like you know there is not a lot to be said i think everybody understood what was at stake what we shit down our lake and that's a great example of knowing like the sun is gonna rise the next day and you have a fucking choice yes to uh

to put that game behind you or you know as everybody likes to say let it define you but uh but man that was dark that was that's the worst game i've ever been a part of and as a middle linebacker i think i told big cat that three running backs might have had over 200 yards and everyone alludes to melvin gordon have been 400 the next year which thank god he broke the school record because it kind of took did some spotlight away we don't talk about the three guys that had 220 on it yeah from what actually happened the year before which i was actually like okay the brass are lost but thank god we get to kind of be put on the shelf a little bit but man that was that's the worst game i've ever been a part of melvin gordon had 216 yards

on nine carries this is such a ridiculous stat line to see 70 points in eight pass attempts and then have melvin gordon nine carries 216 yards hey dude i think i missed a big run they like we we fucking sucked that game dude but i will say bo if you listen to this fucking podcast i would tell you to your face now dude that we didn't adjust and we only call one call in that personnel and now now now that i'm older and understand the game a little more i'm just thinking why in the fuck didn't we send pressure off the edge away from a speed sweep guy like we didn't adjust that game so we take it as a team dude i love you bo i miss you yeah all right well thank

you will this has been awesome yeah busting with the boys will cop then he was a legend of the uh i think i have you guys ranked as the number four our words team of the last 30 years the uh the nine and seven 2015 red sea that was the you like that year right yeah that was a fun year dude that was that you like that game is when i actually got my first start that year to finish the rest of season so big fan of that game there you i would say that it was more you coming in that's what turned the tide and not because it's yelling at a complex sports reporter or whatever and no hey pft did you were you gonna wear were you gonna wear the boy back back in my uh watching football days yeah i remember watching you play and i was like this guy is actually good like i have

with coming up with the hottest things of the day and giving it to us before the show we have UFOs real who know everyone knows they're real this is so stupid i'm sick i'm sick of the alien shit just tell us that we know that the aliens exist tom along proved it tom along from blink way to prove this a year ago so stupid and so this is old news by this point aliens came we didn't care you tried news yeah you tried to get us interest in the fact that aliens have invaded in the past and that we're not alone in the universe but honestly it's boring we exist they exist we know that um you said demon sperm Billy then said parenthesis just say that and don't say anything else i think that'd be a sick name for the washington football team demon sperm the washington

demon sperm that's a that's a really shitty goth like band name yeah demon sperm screw the yellows hot topic is stocked with those teeth teeth that's my arm uh last chance to use back sports illustrated supplements Billy we've tasked you with coming up with the PMT supplement what do you got well i so sports illustrators make their own supplements honestly their supplements kind of suck really yeah they're basically just kind of like uh kool-aid with caffeine for their pre-workout and just like okay i love by the way that the sports illustrators doing supplements the entire like internet roast it because like sports illustrators getting the supplement supplement game and then billy takes the zag on it and he's like listen you have every

right to make supplements just don't make shitty ones yeah no that that's the first thing that occurred to billy was i want to see what is actually in these things so it's beta alanine and caffeine in their pre-workout right well there's not even that much beta alanine and they're all propriety blends okay they don't actually have to put the amount they say so what's in our supplement so if we were to make a part of my take mass gainer i think we should make a bacon blast weight protein first of all yeah you need you need to work on the branding i like that we're doing a mass gainer but if it's barstool it should absolutely be like zoom ass should be the name of it zoom ass zoom ass and unlock the power of harambe oh so it would just be like bacon bits

weight protein chocolate and uh creatine and austrian and that would be an awesome mass gainer okay just toss that in there like like listen it's just pretty much like bacon and chocolate and just a little bit of steroids maybe a little toroidal and it's fine totally fine okay good billy then we got a pre-workout okay and we call it not a drug guy pre-workout you know just be beta alanine torene silt denofil and then dmaa and dmha well the worst spin-off of breaking bad you also had you also had nitrous oxide right yeah nitrous oxide booster and what were the other things in there oh no it's a nitrous oxide booster and silt denofil is for a pump um it just gets your veins what about the viagra and mass yeah that's what silt denofil is the active ingredient viagra but

it's sick for pumps okay yeah i'm gonna stop you billy i like where we're at with a mass gainer i'm on board with that sounds delicious i like where your head's at with part of my take viagra that's a good idea well it's a pre-workout but no yeah but people just get it yeah they put it in their kitchen cabinet and they say like this is my pre-workout but it's actually just viagra it's disguised viagra all right harden my take oh i like that all right so and then the barstool recovery bar yeah it's just like a protein brownie with delta 8thc cbd and i like this so we take so we take steroids meth viagra and weed yes okay good job what do we do to recover from the heart attack this the delta 8thc we contact 3g be like we want to make a protein brownie okay some thg just to

go to sleep we should we should actually make it stool softener i like this stool soft i like this good job billy all right uh you also had bizarre scam as chinese students in australia kidnapping themselves yeah basically they're like you have to pay this fine so kidnap yourself and pretend that actually happened when i was in wisconsin her name was audrey sealer she kidnapped herself she just went and sat it went in the woods for like two days did you know they found her or no she came out and then they're like yeah why'd you go to home depot and buy a bunch of rope right before you disappeared interesting so did you get money ransom money no i i think she just wanted attention i think she dropped out after that okay it's kind of cool yeah it's kind of cool i i mean if you're

if you're a product of uh the chinese one child policy i imagine that that shoots your value way up in the eyes of your parents right true because if you got two kids and your parents are like fuck it i can get rid of that one i got a backup in the shed and now the last one was just ellen sucks okay sure oh wait oh mike tyson joined shark week again i think we're out on shark week yeah we're out on shark because it's because they don't kill anyone yeah okay lame i want death okay more like shark week yeah it's just not site violence from the sharks yeah yes yeah yeah do stark week and it's just shark decapitations we need something like to get the juices flowing all right hey guys on chicks and then we will see everyone at noon on uh wednesday for today for

our stream and if you're tuning in after noon just tune in now because we're probably still alive yeah i could be dying from heat exhaustion under 24 shirts over under 10 miles for billy he's gonna get over because he's got i know billy he's gonna burn himself out he's gonna do like 12 miles in the first two and a half hours and he's gonna be like do i have to keep going yeah the calculation is going to be when is billy bitching at us like untenable and we're just like you know what fuck it billy will you just quit yeah it's gonna fake fall um i would actually be very funny just took that away from him it's uh put a name are i gotta update from the bread bread boy we'll call him oh yeah it's me again so in the short time that i texted you and up until now things have become

worse i was shocked y'all actually read my issue and my boyfriend let's just call him parker found out through a friend who listens to your show and is now convinced that it's normal because y'all thought it was awesome so thanks for that yep i don't know how these things are supposed to be but i'm just going to tell you all that everything i'm just going to tell you all everything because the bread really isn't even the worst thing so like i said he eats bread but literally everything it's not like a freaking utensil to him he scoops soup with it cereal obviously he uses four slices when making a sandwich two on top two on the bottom i can't wrap my brain around this my friends all think it's super gross especially when we go out to a restaurant and he has to get

a couple of bread baskets for himself i i'm fine with that for the record like getting the hot bread delivered to your table getting a restock of that as long as you tip well i think that's an alpha move he isn't that overweight but what worries me is if his metabolism slows down he's going to gain a ton of weight he doesn't work out and when he isn't working he mostly plays video games or watches movies i love parker he's super funny and is very smart but i feel like he's going way too far with the fucking bread i'm not scared that he hears this because he already knows how i feel and he just shrugs it off always with something like you're overreacting it's just bread or so what i fucking love bread what are you gonna do break up with me i mean seriously am i overreacting i'm

officially giving y'all a final say as to who wins help uh i don't know what to do i i really don't like it sounds if you didn't have a problem with the bread then there's no problem yeah you're cool with it then it's not an issue but if it's reaching the point where you're embarrassed that you're basically dating a duck in a park then yeah then you need to have a conversation if you can't adapt then it's time to cut i think you just need to just suck it up this there's a lot of bad things in the world eating too much bread it's not one of them what Billy i have a solution for yeah what she's got to do is she's got to take laxatives and just keep poisoning with laxatives and so he's shitting himself all the time then be like oh maybe you become allergic to gluten gluten free and

then you convince him he's gluten free oh okay that's not a bad one not a bad one by the way i saw someone tweeting being like i can't believe you guys thought that was real i just want to make a PSA real quick this goes for the waffle house guy too which i've heard maybe not real i don't give a fuck okay we are what what what you think it's good we're just gonna get more fake thing that's fine i don't give a fuck if it sounds remotely real i'm gonna read it it's like wrestling just shut up and let me have a good time don't be the guy on the internet who's like fake fake fake shut up yeah you don't need to snopes check a guy's on chicks question correct and this girl followed back up yeah and without anything funny just being like no this is serious

like what the fuck do i do if it's a great tale and it goes on for weeks and weeks and weeks and has plot twists and everything i'm just watching you know real housewives i don't care it's fake i think this girl sounds awesome the fact that she's just dealing with this yeah she realizes it's strange at the product it becomes a problem when you forget how weird it is hey pmt boys especially you honk and cat daddy i've recently been getting into arguments with my boyfriend because he has really been making me feel guilty about going out with my girlfriends again last night he told me that he refuses to get sick because i want to go out and get wasted at a bar now he does everything without me he cooks dinner and takes it outside while going

for a long walk to avoid eating with me he sleeps in the rug in our room because he apparently can't be in the same bed as me i told him countless times i have other people i want to see is he being a paranoid little bitch or do i need to understand his concern how do i go about wait what's his concern getting sick oh she's going and hitting the bars with her gals oh it's coronavirus got it he doesn't want to get sick i just yeah you're kind of being the jerk here yeah just get an antibody test yeah you're so you're going out all the time and then you're like can you believe my bitch boy boyfriend like doesn't want to get coronavirus uh-huh so but her complaint is that he's hanging out around he's sleeping on the bed or on the floor next to the bed yeah he's just

basically staying away from her yeah but if you're going to try to not get coronavirus you want to put a little bit something more than like two feet yeah i just he's not even doing a good job yeah i'd say you probably should have a talk and be like hey maybe i won't do this all the time no i don't think he's being the bitch here uh we also asked for suggestions for staying up for 24 hours and uh this person said for 24 hour grit day have Kate come on the stream and show you how to make ranger dip and use hot sauce under the eyes to keep you awake is that like is it like bees and we might want to bring yeah we should be people said that as well as cool as shit let's get some bees hey pft big cat and future obx star hank be oh yeah congrats hank thanks i don't know what what for

get my boyfriend to stop making that slurping noise when he's blowing me i've asked him before because it grossed me out but he must keep forgetting in the moment i don't want to interrupt and kill the mood also you guys should try caffeine caffeine to stay up yeah okay how do i get my boyfriend to stop blowing me no making that slurping noise oh okay it's the noise that's an issue i i suggest just getting your peanut butter yeah peanut butter smear peanut butter on your penis this is i mean it's a weird weird edition of guys on smooth not everyone in the past month or so my boyfriend has developed a weird habit of licking me all the time we will hug and as he pulls away he will lick the side of my face i reach to hold his hand and he will grab my hand

and lick it i've told him to stop and then i don't like it but i think he's doing it without even realizing it i get that quarantine is hard but any advice on how to get this weird habit to stop i'm tired of feeling like a lollipop and not in a hot way not peanut butter no that will be worse billy yeah i just really was a fucking mental pretzel do you like wait or wait yeah wait gotta say peanut butter is he allergic to peanut butter how about no because then peanut butter well how about poisonous peanut butter super bitter peanut butter spicy peanut butter all right well let's let's end there and or do you have one more i got one more okay let's keep it weird hey sexy cat pft frat boy hunk hank and big dick billy my boyfriend has started to call me milkmaid anytime

he wants to have sex he says in the child boys he wants his milk and he says it until we do it that's it they didn't even ask a question they just fuck yes i like it too we're a nice guy my milkmaid you see there was one of those obviously fake reddit things going around today where this girl was like a i dated a 19 year old guy and he gets upset at me because when we fool around my nipples don't lactate and he thought the guy thinks that that's when girls come keep going with it keep going all right milkmaid is that's a very good compliment yeah you could be called a lot worse it's a great nickname um all right we'll see everyone on the stream billy you want to talk to people give them a little uh you've done a terrible job with this by the way

you were supposed to give a speech at the end of every show so closing thoughts please do it love you guys um well honestly there's aliens of course in the government but i don't think the aliens come from outer space i actually think that they come from within the center of the earth because think about it what's more likely people or beings traveling from thousands of millions of miles away in different universes to a place with life or a place with life having more life just deeper underground because think about it there's two sources of heat and energy coming to earth it comes from the center of the earth and the sun we live on the surface of the earth so we get energy from the sun and that's how photosynthesis works but there are life forms

down in the deepest parts of the ocean that get energy from the center of the earth geothermal energy so it's very plausible that there are beings at the center of the earth that are coming to the surface and those are actually the aliens what about the ufo's they fly where do they come from they come from the center of the earth how do they fly where there's a lot of air they come yeah they just know how to travel through the water like people say ufo's sometimes come from the triangle Take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me. Take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me, take on me.
