Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries. If they're just there, that hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it.

And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face and the habitual liar. This episode is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. So, where I was getting with that was Bradley Beal's IG post. I don't know if video pulled this up, but he did not take out two articles

in two different cities to thank them. He just went to IEG and he surmised his entire experience with a singular emoji, the peace sign emoji. Deuces. Deuces goodbye to Phoenix and in the comments, there's another emoji but it's from Kevin Durant and it's a crying face emoji, suffice to say. Not a big fan of his experience over there in Phoenix, and if you could blame

him, although he had a lot of blame in his own right for that. Jeremy, before we close the loop on Damian Lillard, what is the heat propaganda perspective on Damian Lillard deciding to go to Portland? I don't know how real Miami's interest was in Damien. That was something that a lot of Heat fans were kinda deducing. This makes sense, especially on a sweetheart deal, but that's pretty much where it was. It just lived in the minds of Heat fans,

and we never got any concrete reporting on the Heat's level of interest on Damien Lillard. Ironically, it was basically at the same time that Bradley Beal and Damien Lillard became part of the conversation, and then the Heat ultimately traded for Norm Powell, interest on Damian Lillard. Ironically, it was basically at the same time that Bradley Beale and Damian Lillard became part of the conversation, and then the Heat ultimately traded for Norm Powell, and both of those guys were pretty much eliminated

from contention unless Dame was willing to take, what, a two-year minimum, because the Heat don't really wanna go into next season with more big contracts on the books, particularly for an older player. Who knows what the level of interest was? Maybe they were really interested and tried to pitch him on it and Portland just made more sense for him to sign that three year deal.

It is a pretty big money deal. Yeah. And it's specifically because they're a team with so many young players that a lot of those guys, I don't believe, are up for extensions for a while, and the ones who are might not be guys who they want to make max level players. So it made all of the sense in the world, but we were workshopping it back here. Like there's a whole bunch of other players in the NBA where reunions could happen like this

at the end of their careers right now. Like there's rumors of Chris Paul back to the Clippers potentially. Love that. There was actually a report that the Hornets were interested in bringing back Chris Paul to the North Carolina region. He started his career, I believe they were the New Orleans Hornets when he started his career and it's a different franchise, but you know, kind of the full circle thing and

he said no thanks. Right. And the Clippers really, that's the place you're really going to remember Chris Paul. So it would be cool to see him go back there as a piece of one of the like oldest teams that in 2012 would have been one of the greatest teams you would have ever seen. But between him, maybe at the,

cause he doesn't feel like a guy who would take the minimum right now, but maybe in a couple of years, Russell Westbrook going back to OKC would be an awesome story to be a guy to contribute on a team that's now been built out. We already heard rumors this off season of LeBron going home to Miami.

Oh, come on, don't say that. No, obviously Cleveland is the place, right? That's the spot where you would see LeBron go. If you go to Miami in the middle, you don't come back. No, that's true. If you start there, you come back. Or if you never come, you're in there. Right.

But you don't, like, when you come and you get your crazy out Miami, and then you're like, can't go back there again. Yeah, your Miami phase. And Cleveland would be that spot for you. At that point, the family's like, we're not going back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no. It'd be really cool.

It'd be really cool to see him back in Cleveland, whether it's this year or somewhere else in the future, when he becomes a free agent after this season. So there's all sorts of guys. I mean, even for that matter, like it'd be cool at some point in the last year of his career to see Mike's least favorite player, Kyle Lowry, go back to Toronto. Like there's all these guys that were sort of lifers with their franchises. And now that Damian Lillard has done this, you almost wonder like, will he be a trendsetter

for some of the older players to decide, hey, you know what, it's worth it to go back, the difference obviously being his injury. I mean, Lowry did, in a sense, go back home, Villanova guy, and he re-upped with Philadelphia. So that's also a nice heartwarming place for him to end his career. This doesn't feel like a Riley and company whiff, though. No, not the same way. It's certainly not to the level that it was last go round when we were singing Sad Peppas.

This is, I don't even know how real Miami's interest in him was and plus we don't wanna do anything to jeopardize the cap situation as we go and reacquire LeBron James for Terry Rozier and Andrew Wiggins. And maybe Hawk is, we'll see. Bleacher Report suggested a trade in just sort of workshopping trades for LeBron

that was Wiggins, Rozier, and two firsts is what they included for LeBron and Brawny. But a superstar deciding to not, not to ring chase anymore, and again, very few examples of ring chasing going so poorly. The Milwaukee thing was an abject failure. Even Portland's hall was a failure.

Cronin remains on the list. I mean, this, that was another thing that bothered me. Why are you rewarding this guy? This guy was a dirt bag to you, Dame. But either way, it was a breath of fresh air. And speaking of fresh air, Jeremy, you love that feeling, don't you? Oh, I do.

And kudos to the engineering team over here. We got the AC. We finally have some fresh air. Thank God. Is it good over there and back there inside of the studio? It's all right. It's getting there.

You have a top five. I do. I have a top five breath of fresh air slash sigh of relief feelings that can really change your day. And this stems from, I was really overdue for a haircut and I went and got a haircut yesterday and the way that that made me feel completely changed my day.

So I came up with some others here. I have a couple of ol eyes first ol I beating traffic getting out of a concert or a game leaving a parking garage so breath of that's a breath of fresh air for you mm-hmm well it just it just feels good I was trying to figure out like what the it's not top five good feeling figure out what the list is breath of fresh air or things that feel good that first time that there's a little Nip in the air in South Florida as you approach like February. That's a good Literally a breath of fresh air that you don't have like an entire ecosystem around your balls anymore. Yeah summer traffic driving to work

Summer traffic driving to work. That's pretty good. Summer traffic driving to work. I was able to leave my house at 7 15 this morning and get here at 8 o'clock. Ah, the lack of traffic. So there's a lack of traffic. Summer traffic. That's real because I'm like why is it so much easier to get to the studio from where I live and that makes sense. This summer season is particularly slow in Miami. Restaurants are super empty.

The Herald did a whole piece on it. Restaurants are really struggling down here in Miami. It is insanely hot, but this is always the slow season, but tourism in the United States, even people traveling who are American within the United States, they're pulling back their dollars. The US tourism industry is absolutely on ice right now. Yeah, not a ton of people here right now,

and that is the best possible feeling. Last OLI, that first sip of Miller Lite on a hot day at a barbecue. That's OLI? It's 96 calories. That is OLI. Have you seen the gold can? It's beautiful.

Oh! 50 years. Doesn't look a day over 49? It's gorgeous. It's beautiful. 50 years. Doesn't look a day over 49. That's a number one for me. Number five. Finding sunglasses or AirPods that you thought you lost. Could be any small item, could be your keys. Something that you thought you lost and ultimately finding it when you're not looking for it.

That's more of a leaf. I had a situation, I don't really know where the keys to my house are. I have one of those smart locks that I can change the code every now and then. I'm getting my house tented next week, and by law the people were like, we need a key to the house.

I'm like, they'll have one. They're like, well then we probably can't do this anymore. I'm like, okay, see ya. It became like a battle of wills, but then I ultimately decided, let me look for this thing. I couldn't believe I friggin' found it. Could not believe, I, it was just- Did you go through a bunch of keys and be like, oh, that's not it.

I did. Oh, this one isn't any, either. I haven't held keys in my hand because I have all these fobs now. I haven't held a key in my hand in like five years. And I was, I certainly forgot the feeling of putting a key, a lock, and the gratification that you get for it actually working. I was like, would you look at that? I tried like ten keys. I'm like, all right, the level of effort here is we're approaching

is the juice worth the squeeze territory? I got a hard set of keys, can you imagine? Number four, first step into your hotel room after a long day of travel. That's good. As a traveler, I am all in on that one. Especially if it's, can I switch it up a little bit? Please. Can I give you a derivative?

Yeah, please punch it up. A hotel that's nicer than you thought it was. Yes. Oh, that feeling's incredible. Oh my goodness. Look around and be like, ooh, this is nice. Yo. Oh, I got this cookie.

Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I'm in the room too. Come on out. The opposite of that is like the worst feeling is when the hotel is nowhere near as nice as you thought it was, or like way worse.

Nothing sets me off, though. Like, I have to touch the mattress. That is like the end all and be all, because I can't do the super stiff mattress. I have like a shoulder injury right now, because I'm 40 and I slept on my I'm a side sleeper Yeah, it was this Disney hotel that I slept on my side and I'm just jacked up now all my IG ads are for shoulder braces Number three is Dan Orlowski like doing this from what I've been told taking off your bra at the end of a long day Because I've also heard that that is a thing, but I don't have

the personal experience, but I can get it just based off of what's going on down here in the Miami summer. You know me, I'm always here to white knight for everyone. That's it. Number two, putting on socks straight out of the dryer. Particularly if you've been caught in the rain, you've got wet shoes, damp socks, long day,

and you have an opportunity to walk in and put on socks or even sweatpants straight out of the dryer, it's a really comfortable feeling. I'm not a hot clothes kind of guy. I get that. I understand. Maybe that's not a good one for here in South Florida. And number one, the long overdue haircut.

Taking a leak nut there. That's a big one for here in South Florida. And number one, the long overdue haircut. Taking a leak nut there. That's a big breath of fresh air for me. When you're holding a relief. We're definitely confusing relief and breath of fresh air. Yeah, there's like a, it's a hybrid list. It's why I said both. I don't have a bra,

but that probably is a relief category as well, right? Could have all been just a feeling of relief, maybe in your day. What was the football version of taking off your bra? The shoulder pads coming off is a good feeling. Cleats, though, too. Helmet. Yeah, cleats if you got the feet problem.

But helmet, I mean, your helmet's on and off, not a big deal. Yeah. The shoulder pads, like, represent my day is done. It's like, yes, it's a good feeling, but also it's like, work is over. That's a clock out moment. There are some guys that go their entire playing career because they didn't have great equipment staff

in high school that just decide, Eli Manning was one of these guys, Peyton Manning was one of these guys, I'm just gonna squeeze my head into this and comfort be damned. Putting on a helmet is an uncomfortable experience for me my entire career. When I was playing in high school I hated,

I was like, do we have any more of these? This is terrible. And they're like, no, you get what you get. I'm like, it hurts. Yeah, no, that is a football experience. It's weird, you just get used to it. Really, there isn't a soothing feeling where you put on a helmet and you're like,

wow, this is super comfy. Only if you've grown up in that era and then you put on the new helmets, you know that, but like, even the comfortable helmets today, if you put one on today, you'd be you put on the new helmets, you know that but like it's uncut Even the comfortable helmet today if you put one on today You'd be like, yeah, this was like a pillow on my head. My kid would be like, this is the most uncomfortable thing I've ever put on like yeah, that's football buddy. You gotta get used to it Howdy folks, it's Mike Ryan. If you were listening to the show just a couple days ago

You know that Jeremy came up with the top five breath of fresh air type of list, a really refreshing feeling. And on that list, Jeremy, help me out. I mean, that first sip of a Miller Lite at the barbecue on a hot day, crack it open. That sound feelings better. That sound ultra satisfying. And then that first sip it hits. And yes, while it's hot outside as it is presently cools your body down, it hits a little different down here in South Florida. But as someone that had Miller Lite north of the border, and basically football tailgates as the leaves turn, there really isn't a bad time to turn into Miller time. Next time we should do a top five times to have Miller Time. I like where your head's at because it's every time.

That's right. Every time. Morning time. Well, scratch that. Nah, morning time. Morning time if you need it. If you're on vacation. If you're on vacation.

Faint Manor with the halo going across his head. Yeah, and the old school helmets were like, it's just, I mean.

The Riddell helmets with like the hard pattern inside. Yeah, the Riddell. Put them on in Riddell, yeah. Relief is a football version, another football version. Going to a team with a star player and he's chill. Really? Or not a relief, a breath of fresh air. It's like, oh, I didn't expect you to be that cool.

Your star player was Joe Thomas. That's a good example. Yeah, but Joe Thomas, the star player, being an offensive lineman, he better be chill. Yeah, but I mean, you like just, it's everywhere. Like you meet like Gronk. It's very easy to be like, oh, Gronk, he probably, he's a superstar, Gronk, you get down,

he's potato suck, man. Yeah, but he's, you are really just like Gronk. That's cool. But he's a star player. He was never the biggest star on the team. No, well, he was a pretty big star, though. Yeah, he was a huge star. If you rank stars, he's still a top 10 star,

even though the star in his team was the number one star. Yeah, he was probably, during his era, top 10 star in the league, right, Gronk? Oh yeah, for sure. Well, Hawks bias, he grew up with him. Yeah. That's true. Let me tell you about when he was a youngin' why he's such a star.

Did he send you a thank you note for the kind words that you said in his documentary? I'm sure his family watched his documentary and are like, yo, who the hell is this? And why does he have so many sound bites about what we did with our family growing up? I'm sure. I got a question.

When you're getting into the lunchroom and everybody's getting lunch, everybody's getting food, is Tom there or is he like at another spot getting other food? You know, there's like two tiers, right? No, Tom is a great leader. And again, I was there for three months. So I'm an expert at this. Okay. Tom is a great leader. And again, I was there for three months, so I'm an expert at this.

Okay. Tom is a great leader in the sense of, Tom was like 40 when I was there. The new guys coming in, they're about 21, 22 years old. It's like regular life. A 40 year old has nothing in common with a 22 year old. Right, if you go into a restaurant and there's a bunch of like 22 year olds

in different tables, you're not gonna sit down and be like, hey, let's talk. We have nothing in common. The things you're talking about in life, they haven't even begun to even think about experiencing. But Tom, he would go out of his way in the lunch rooms, in the breakfast rooms to go sit at the tables with the young guys to have and start the conversation.

And me, being a quasi old guy at that time, I'm like, I see you. I see that leadership style. I see that you're trying to build that rapport because you know you're going to need these young guys and you know you need them not to look at you as some mythical figure that you're never around and that you're better than that. We're all in this together. And that is exactly how the young guys felt around Tom Brady. Is there somebody that you played with that did have that like mythical figure thing and

like acted on it? Um, like don't talk to me. Don't look at me in the eyes. Like I'm going to be over here with the coaches and the GM and the presidents and all these people who's a dick. No, not on my teams. I mean, there's a lot of people like that, but not in the teams I played with. You know, I was in Cincinnati, AJ green was a rookie.

He was our star. We were basically our first years together in the league so He was cool. Andy was our quarterback Andy Dalton. It was his first year in the league. We didn't know any better. We were just You know, we didn't house Tyler I for I for was the man. Yeah, he was very cool. Let's play a game Hawk top five dicks and this is how hard Sam Crazy top five second. That's not even that. That is a crazy top five. Hold on a second. That's not even, no you don't hold on. You just can't open the comments like that, bro. Hold on a second.

Top five dicks. And then you just give us a name. And then we have to decide attitude or? That's a good dick. No, I refuse to participate in the conversation. Why? Attitude or ratitude, how about that? Yeah.

I can give you my top five probably favorite teammates. That's a complete opposite of what he's got. All right, well, why don't we call my list that and then we'll just, it'll be code. Breath of Fresh Air, here's my Breath of Fresh Air, real quick. Okay, perfect. Breath of Fresh Air player, Miles Austin. That's right, he was in Cleveland.

He was in Cleveland for one year, and you gotta know, he was a cowboy receiver, which makes him a megastar, right? He was dating Kim Kardashian. Light eyes. You know, like was a cowboy receiver, which makes him a megastar, right? He was dating Kim Kardashian. Light eyes. You know, like, and you just, I just had this perception of Miles Austin, and when I met him, when I say complete opposite,

Miles is my favorite teammate in my NFL career. Yeah, but Miles also had a trajectory not unlike yours. He wasn't a highly touted draft pick, he had a fight for his spot. He became a superstar a really organic way. Yes and no, because it doesn't quite, that doesn't, yes he fought his ass off to be who he was. But you know it's like a fast track if you do it in Dallas.

Like if you're a guy that doesn't, like if you're a brink guy and you make it in Dallas, you kinda skip to the front of the line of fame and whatever, like if you go to the Seahawks and you battle from undrafted to whatever, it's like you still gotta do that a bunch of places. In Dallas, it's like, yeah, you can be Cole Beasley, Miles Austin, the list goes on and on.

You'll be a household name if you do it in Dallas. What a year he had in 2009. Oh, he was a monster. He was on a tear, bro. He won catches 1,300 yards in 11 touchdown What a year he had in 2009. Oh, he was a Monson. He won catches 1,300 yards in 11 touch-ups. But he broke in with a tryout, right? There was a coach. Yeah, he was the Monmouth, which was like non-scholarship FCS football.

Tony could have gotten an offer. In Jersey? Yeah, Tony could have been a tight end at Monmouth, for sure. Absolutely. He could have, especially at that time. Not today. Their scholarship now. I was looking up eligibility for Division III to see if we could actually get you on the check NAIA

They seem to have a little bit more lax rules. Okay, well division 3 you don't need like there's basically they left Academic standards up to the school which is like pro for you But I think there's also like a clock that you may have missed, but NAIA, I'll look into. NAIA, anything can happen there, I think. All right, so number five was Miles Austin, or he was outside looking in? No, Miles was my number one Breath of Fresh Air player. All right.

But he was also one of my top five teammates as well, so give me another one. There it is. So Miles Austin, I would say, man, it's gonna be a lot of hurt feelings here. Are we doing descending order? No, we're not descending. I'm just gonna name five that come to the top of my mind.

Most New was a great teammate. Just wanted to sort of hear a few. Joe Hayden, Joe Thomas, both of the Joes, they were great. Just great guys, great teammates. Travis Benjamin was just an incredible person. These are like shirt off their back type of people that are like. All right, so now we've established one end of the spectrum

and I think all Billy's trying to say is like, who's on the other side of the spectrum that you're comfortable taking out? Well, I mean, what are we saying though? I mean, you played with Johnny. Like people I don't like or like that are just. You played with Johnny. A-holes.

Yeah, A-holes another list. Those dicks. That's two different lists for you. Yeah. OK. See, this is what I'm saying. This is why I don't want to partake in your list. Oh. OK.

You want to do a top five dicks and a top five assholes. But now I'm distracted. I'm looking up Tony's NAIA eligibility. Yeah. Those are different, though. What'd you get on your ACT? 28? I don't know.

OK, good. You had to have a 19, I believe. OK, I got like a 28. So you're OK. All right, I'll do it. Number one is Lenny Kravitz. When he's like shredding at the leather pants. Yeah, we all saw it. I mean what a rockstar moment. What is this list? I don't know. That's what I'm saying. I don't know. Julio Frank over here. And we also saw Connor McGregor. There was a barbell attached to it. Julio Frank. Oh, this is like, okay.

I saw a guy. You see where we're going now? Bottom of the list, Brett Favre. I saw a guy yesterday. I saw this going from the start, I knew where this was headed. Pee in the parking lot of a grocery store, but like plain sight.

Like, and. No cover up. Dude, he went behind his car for some reason, and I was like, no, but it wasn't, because I was in the spot facing his car, and he stands behind his car, because it's like the angled spaces, and I ordered a pizza, so I'm waiting for the pizza,

so I'm just sitting in my car in the AC, because it's hot out, and I just see this guy, I'm like, he can't be doing what I think he's doing, and he's just peeing, like, in plain sight, but he went behind his car, I guess, to get cover up, even though then he was, because he went face in, he's like in the aisle where cars are driving by and he was peeing, but like the pee was hitting his bumper.

Like he was peeing on his bumper trying to use it to get cover. Why were you watching so long, bro? I was so confused as to what was going on. I was like, I can't believe that this is what's actually happening right in front of me where my car is facing. Yeah. Because I see water falling. I was like I can't believe that this is what's actually happening right in front of me where my car is facing yeah because I see water falling I was like is that like is that what I think it is that what I think curiosity yeah

that's why you're looking like there can't there just can't be it wasn't long but there was a shake so I know what it was whether I see but the stance alone will tell you if a guy that's the thing it was such an irregular like literally it's just it's a this no but it wasn't that it it was like a sideways. Gotta widen up your face though there. No, you look like you're putting right now. Yeah, that's a putting point. Yeah, at the same stance.

No, I didn't have it, this guy was almost like leaning on his car sideways like this, and that's why I see like a splash on the floor, I'm like, it can't be what I think is going on right now. Yeah, what time was it? And then there was a shake. This is at 2.30 in the afternoon. What else would he be holding the middle of his body for

with liquid? I pee out, I pour out bottles and stuff sometimes if I don't want it in my car. Of course. So I didn't, and the part that was confusing beyond just he whipped it out in front of everyone in the middle of this parking lot in the middle of the day was why is he actually wetting his bumper with pee?

Splash bath. You could go anywhere but why would you pee on your own car? Would you be more upset if he did it on the car next to him? There was no other cars around him. It was so out in the open. It was so weird. I don't really have the visual that probably.

And he was like old which I think is why he thought like I could get away with it. Oh yeah. Cause like old people just think they can do whatever they want. They don't give it. It's not that they think they can do whatever they want. They don't give it. It's not that they think they can do whatever they want. They don't care.

Like who's going to check me where I really give a damn about what they think. This is at the grocery store? Yeah. Don't grocery stores have like public bathrooms? Why didn't he just walk back in? Beats me, man. I didn't even think about it until now.

He got in the car after, so it was his car. He claimed it by the pee and then he decided it was his car. Maybe it was Mark and Tara's. Yeah like I guess that's how it works. This is how he gets cars. Right now. The old bear. Why is it in the bathroom here at Metal Lark you have to get so intimate with the toilet to flush it? Yeah it's a little too. It's one of my least favorite things about this place and I love everything about this but it is like you cannot flush the toilet it's like touch it's damn near fingerprint-censored like I tried and one of my pet peeves is having to touch a toilet, period.

And I'll try to like get tissue to like, and it won't work. And it's like, you gotta bathe, like you gotta get really intimate with this thing to flush. And it really upsets me while we're talking about urination. Yeah.

You ever pee yourself while you were playing? Have I peed myself? No, I don't think I peed myself. You ever do something worse? Yeah almost man. Burst it. Almost? Yeah, but you answered that like yeah, you did and then you said almost. Yeah almost cuz I didn't quite get there I thought I did I Thought I number two'd myself in the game and it was like a game It was like a game-winning drive against the Ravens at the Ravens in 2015 Josh Mcount is quarterback And I like

catch a pass. I go for 30 and I'm like, man, he's a great dude. Oh yeah. That's fifth. Yeah. He's, he might be number one. Did you ever play basketball with him? Um, no, but he can hoop. He can do everything, man. He's a really good athlete. That was my fifth and he's probably, him and he's probably near the top. Him and Miles are neck and neck for top guys. But so we're in this game and he's driving, I gotta go and I'm saying it in the huddle like, y'all, I gotta go take one, man. They're like, bro, we need you just to stay in.

I end up scoring the two point conversion. If you watch the video, I score a corner route on the opposite sideline. I catch it, I flip it to the ref, and I run up the Raven sideline all the way to the opposite side of the locker room and go in. And I like missed half of our next drive because there was a turnover. But I had to go, man.

And I thought I went on myself. And I was like, hey, somebody bring me an extra pair of pants because I think I'm almost positive I just scored that two-point conversion. Oh, you weren't wearing the brown road pants. No, they were whites man. I'm like this is not gonna look good on television. It was all whites that day? Luckily it was a false alarm. Don LeBataard. And then that staffer threw him 25 and two. Oh there's a brand new kid in town out of BYU.

Stugats. They call him Pooka Pooka, Pooka Nakua His quarterback is not named Tua Yeah, he is Pooka Pooka, Pooka Nakua This is the Don LeVatar Show with the Stugats! The brown road pants came along. Was there any discussion in the locker room? This could actually come in handy.

This actually helps us. Because I'm sure it almost happened to you. It happens routinely. No, it happens routinely. All the time. Like, conscious decisions. It's not like, oh no, I peed on myself or I took a shit. No, guys are like, well, I'm not gonna come out of the game.

What's the highest profile instance? You can protect the names of the innocent here, but was there like a memorable high profile moment in NFL history that you caught wind of, like something was going on there gastrointestinally? No, not that I call off hand, but not that it, cause there's not, because it's such not a big deal,

it won't register as like, I can't believe this happened. You know it's just is it happen to quarterbacks What they take shits or that they pee or like yeah everybody every position Pete not every player But yes, if you have to pee and you're in a game. They're just gonna pee and get a new pair of pants Especially Lyman. It's mostly Lyman liminal pee in the hot tub There's any sick goes in the hot tub sicko's are like you know what I'm gonna pee on myself just cuz I know that I'm gonna rub this pee all over like everyone in the pile yeah yeah like I'm gonna make this eye contact yes give them a nod down like check this out let me tackle you yellow in this uniform

huh so what do you think that is top of that yeah yeah I think there's no yellow in this uniform, huh? So what do you think that is? Top of thing. Yeah. Yeah, I think there's guys like that I think there's definitely guys like that top five teammate poops You got a top five. I don't have a top five but when I think of the NFL and I do think of poop a lot because you go on road games and Away locker rooms are like the worst places on planet Earth They like try to set them up like they feel like prisons purposely.

You mentioned the one in Buffalo and it does seem like. It's horrible man. I mean it's horrible you gotta share lockers because they purposely don't put nearly enough for the team. So we're like sharing with each other in the same space. There's barely any showers. There's like 10 shower heads for 60 people purposely

to make it uncomfortable. And like a lot of the places will have the stalls with no doors. And there's like two toilets. So everyone is nervous and everyone knows what happens when you get nervous. So we get to this. And there's a line out of the bathroom for two stalls that you got to just take deuces back to back with the doors open because there's no doors on them and they just like,

we want to make you guys It's an uncomfortable as possible before you come to the field so away games are just I try to get there as late as possible Because it's just a bad experience man. I don't like that. All right, let's keep testing him now. Here we go Hawk old faces new places Where is Joey Bosa right now? Gotta go quick. Wait, you're going to retread list? I'm going to retread. No, you can't do that.

He doesn't know. I don't know it. He doesn't know the list. You can't. We can't do that. You guys know the list. You owe the audience more than y'all. Hark.

Like legacy listeners. Yeah, but the problem is there's only so many new faces in old places or old faces. Wait, stop the music. This is stupid. We can't. We can't run back to the same exact list. I can't, I'm not going to ask them old podcasts that might be real or fake. There was other guys on the list I didn't get to.

Okay, get to those then. But I was going to start off with somebody easy. Get to those. Okay. No retreads. No retreads, man. No retreads. Bring back the music, answer it.

Where's Joey Bozza? We gotta go over. Alright, he's in Buffalo. Of course he is. Alright, where is Laramie Tunsel? Houston come on, huh? He's a commie now is he with the command? He's a commie. All right. Where is Javante Williams former Bronco? Cincinnati He's a cowboy now

I knew that actually ran for wait. You knew that that? I literally just talked about him when he was playing other day. He ran for 7,000 yards against Miami. Still run harder. He was 8,000. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was one of two running backs that every player has like that team that they play against that, that elongates their NFL career. Like the Ravens, I wouldn't have played for six years if there wasn't for the Baltimore Ravens. You take out my Raven stats and I'm a one and done guy for sure.

You knew how to find the pockets in the zone. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Where is J.K. Dobbins staying on the running back train? Where's J.K. Dobbins at? J.K. Oh man. What a guy. Had a good little season with the Chargers. Obviously got hurt. Trying to get back to form. Where is J.K. Dobbins? Baltimore? No, that would be a homecoming for him. Yeah, he went from Baltimore to the Chargers. Where is he at? AFC West.

Wow. Bronco. Broncos. Okay. First time not playing for a hardball. You might like that. Maybe. Where is Deontay Johnson?

Much maligned Deontay Johnson. Yeah, his career is a little weird, man. Yeah, it has been weird for him, and he's such a good player too. I think a lot of Deontay's problem is like, or issues as far as trying to... Are you a mentor of his? I am a mentor of his.

Yeah, because he's a Toledo Rocket. He is a Rocket. Yeah, I've known him for a very long time. A very long time. I think he's very, very talented. Yeah, because he's a Toledo Rocket. He is a rocket. Yeah, I've known him for a very long time. A very long time. I think he's very, very talented. Yeah, he's really talented. If he can lock in. I think that's what he's missing, right?

Locking in? Yeah. How do you help him lock in? It's tough, because he's bounced around. That's like a different point in your career. Are you a bad mentor? You got to go through. Are you a bad mentor?

I'm not a bad mentor. He's not listening. It seems like it's getting worse in the league He's made a lot of money. That's a win brother. I mean he had a rough year last year Yeah, everyone has rough years. You never had a rough year. I'm yeah last year. There you go I'm having one right now We're in the middle of rough years, bro. Every time I open up social media. I'm having a rough enough filibuster. Where's Deontay Johnson? That's not filibuster. I know that one. Oh, okay. He

is. Yeah, he is. He's a brown brown. Yeah. So he definitely picked your brain on this one. No, but he is number 16 as well. You didn't keep that one. You didn't keep it in. Retire. Yeah, I was a surprise. They didn't retire. All right. Last one. We're gonna go back to back here since they're both wide receivers, both retreads. Hunter Renfro. Where is he? We're gonna go back to back here since they're both our receivers both retreads hunter Renfro. Where is he?

Tennessee Close Carolina Panther Panther homecoming Panther. That's right. And and this one is should be easy for you. Where's Tyler locket? This is a tendency yeah, that's where that's where Old old faces new places Yeah, that's where that's where that's where wide receivers old old faces new places What's going on in Tennessee where all the wide receivers that have illustrious career sign there and then you know, it's over It's happened a lot. It does so true though. Yeah, give me other examples Deandre Hopkins Andre Johnson Randy Moss Kenny Britt Kenny Britt DeAndre Hopkins left there

He had a great season or two and DeAndre Hopkins is now with Kansas City But like once he went to Tennessee you realized all right the days are over of DeAndre being good I don't believe that it's it. There's something on the water. I don't think so I think it's it's it's tough like depending on who you play with everyone gets older That's just a part of the process what but why when they get older they decide Tennessee for me? Well, because Tennessee is like, I need receivers. You go where someone needs, man. It's like, yeah, we're willing to take the flyer

and maybe kick the tires on it. I think Tyler Lockett still has something in the tank. I mean, as a game ward guy, I hope so. I think, who went to Tennessee. Tyler went to Tennessee, and then Renfro. Went to Carolina. Went to Carolina. Homecoming.

Yeah. Yeah. Tyler's a gamer, though. Hall of Famer? No, he needs to do more, right? Maybe, no, not an NFL Hall of Famer. Seahawks, Hall of Famer. Definitely, Ring of Honor, don't doubt.

Definitely Ring of Honor. I think he's one of the most underrated receivers over the last decade. Absolutely, I mean, if you pull up the leading receivers over the last decade, you'd be shocked to see where Tyler Lockett ranks. Definitely in there, definitely in there. I know he played alongside DK Metcalf.

There was a time there where their output was day near the same, and it was confusing. Everyone knew prototype, that's DK Metcalf. He looks like the number one wide receiver, but in terms of production. He's on there, He's on the list. Brandon Cook's probably on that list. Yeah.

He's a weird player, though. What do you mean? Because he's got undeniable talent, and he's got speed that you can't teach. Those guys, the fast guys, they find ways to stay in the league forever. My theory is Tyreek Hill's going to end up playing for like four more teams.

Because when the dog. Four more? Yeah. Because when the adults. Four more? Yeah, because people are just gonna be so enamored with that speed. Look at the end of Deshaun Jackson's career. He kinda went to multiple different spots because they know that nine route,

we can always count on that. But Brandon Cooks was doing that throughout his entire career. And he seems like a decent dude. Great dude, man. Yeah, not a bad locker room guy. I just don't understand. We played in New England together.

That's right, briefly for two weeks. But when you think of Brandon Cooks, I guess you think of him as a New Orleans Saint, I guess. No, no. Played for the Rams for a little bit too. He went for a stack for damn near every team he played for. For almost every team, yeah. Until I think the Cowboys.

Cowboys, Texans, Rams. It was like seven or eight straight years with 1,000 yards receiving for four different friends. That's really uncommon It is that's what I'm saying. That's why it's underrated especially to be wherever you go produce thousand yard seasons But why don't they want to keep that? Why isn't there ever a team that's like hey, man, we really love that thousand yard season We'd like for you to have another one with us. Yeah, I don't know. He's not a bad guy He's not a bad guy, but he's very like he's business like though

I like them. I'm sure you love the the early 2010 you know 10 Seahawks where you had Doug Baldwin on one side Tyler Lockett on the other side ripping apart the league both going for A thousand yards and basically almost 100 catches every season That's been good for you to see that and been like yeah We're Doug Baldwin and how long did they overlap? Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett couple of years. Cause Lockett came in what, in 2016? Doug Baldwin did it a different way too. Lockett's got good speed.

Baldwin came in on 2011. I think Lockett came in in 2016. Baldwin was a very special one because he was, I believe, undrafted. He's a guts and guile guy. Yeah, that was a Stanford team that I believe had Griff Whalen, who I believe got drafted to the Colts,

Ryan Whalen, who got drafted to the Bengals. And Morgan Whalen. And Morgan Whalen, who obviously became an incredible music artist in the Whalen family. But also, Andrew Luck was the quarterback, and Richard Sherman was there. Kobe Flaner? Kobe Flaner.

They had all these people that went to places. And Baldwin was the guy that went undrafted. And he just, from day one, just ripped it up. And he was a big piece of Russell Wilson being Russell Wilson in the whole Seahawks phenomenon. Had three or four years that they were overlapping where Doug was obviously A1 on that team. 2015 went 78 for 1,000, 69 and 14 touchdowns.

We mentioned Mike Williams retiring from the Chargers and I don't know why anybody would retire from the Chargers when you see the latest uniform set that they put out. Around the league, is it reputed that the Chargers just got the nicest threads? I like the Chargers threads. Uniforms are a big deal to players, no? They are. I think the Bengals have great threads, man. I mean, but look at this. Chargers got a nice big.

The baby blue. When they're all together like that, that does look cool. Look at all the options, too. They have a lot of options. Tip of the spear there. I love the Navies. Those are my favorites, man. The old school ones, the Junior SAO,

the Daniel Thomas and Navies. They are. Those are dope. I do feel like the Bengals. Because the good thing about the Chargers, it is they have like that aesthetic that head to toe is cold. The helmet is cold, the color scheme is cold.

The unis are cold. Not a single bad luck there. There's not man, you know. And it's undercover, like they have a dope helmet. Not everyone has dope helmets. You haven't been sincey. The bangles has the best. Bangles white tiger helmets is fire.

Yes, of course. The bangles helmets are tier one. The Bangles has the best. Bangles White Tiger helmets is fire. Yes, of course. The Bangles helmets are tier one. The Rams got dope helmets. The Chargers got dope helmets. What other dope helmets are there? I like Baltimore in the all black with the purple accents. I mean, it's a great color scheme. I know obviously you're a little biased, but.

I like Carolinas. Carolinas, they got a dope color scheme. Dallas got cool helmets. I mean like just the design. Like the decal is like, oh, that's fire. I'm trying to think who else. Eagles got a, yep, they have a dope one. The Kelly Green one is gas, with the gray pants.

Eagles. You were in Cleveland when they decided, hey, we're going to modernize these uniforms, right? Those were a disaster. I did like the pants, though, that set browns on them. Yeah, I guess. I wasn't a huge fan. We changed the orange.

And it was big. And the letters were so big on my jersey. As a smaller player, the letters were wrapping around my torso. So I was like, yo, I love the iconic Browns uniforms. Those ones, I was not a fan of. As soon as the year contract was up, they went right back to the other uniforms.

When those uniforms came out, I was like, damn, we're gonna be bad. We're gonna be really bad, because we look bad. It's look bad, play bad.
