Speaker 2: We will probably not talk about that part.
Speaker 1: But before we get into this whole episode, this episode
Speaker 1: is brought to you by the Chevy Silverado. It's still
Speaker 1: early in the season and every team is still in
Speaker 1: the hunt. And I mean ever, make sure to bleed
Speaker 1: that out. Make sure to bleed that out. And every
Speaker 1: team is still in the hunt. You might have started
Speaker 1: off oing three and you might think your season is dead.
Speaker 1: However that's not the case. It's still very early in
Speaker 1: the year. Your team can go on an absolute terror
Speaker 1: and h and ended up turning it around in an instant.
Speaker 1: It's the NFL any given Sunday Boys. But the team
Speaker 1: that has already won it all is the Chevy Silverado.
Speaker 1: According to JD Power, the Chevy is the most awarded
Speaker 1: brand for new vehicle quality and Chevy trucks have won
Speaker 1: more new Vehicle Quality awards than any other brand. Champions

Speaker 1: twenty U twenty twenty two US award information, visit jdpower
Speaker 1: dot com Forward Slash Awards. Now let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Where should we start? Should we start as scoot Ober?
Speaker 1: Should we let people understand like What'spootober? Or should we
Speaker 1: take a moment for the fallen soldier?
Speaker 2: So you guys are probably.
Speaker 1: Wondering why the boy h Taylor is not here to
Speaker 1: co host. He uh, we lost him early in the
Speaker 1: game last Monday night. Monday Night in Buffalo. Somebody shot
Speaker 1: him from up in the nosebleeds. He dropped I think
Speaker 1: on first or second play the game, and he just
Speaker 1: got told the information a couple of days ago that
Speaker 1: his season is over.
Speaker 2: So the boy is headed to I R.
Speaker 1: But if you're watching right now, I think what we
Speaker 1: should do is we should act like he's like dead.
Speaker 2: We should we.
Speaker 1: Should make it seem like he died like Taylor died
Speaker 1: on the field, he died on the grid iron. Because
Speaker 1: everybody's making I think there's some stuff going around Taylor
Speaker 1: appreciation posts.
Speaker 2: All that stuff is coming, is coming on the timeline.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I think we should just pretend that we lost him, Like, so,
Speaker 1: let's are.
Speaker 3: We gonna put Taylor in the clouds with Rambe?
Speaker 1: Maybe we should? I think we should Yah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: If you're watching right now, comment ri I P Taylor? Want,
Speaker 1: Are I pee the boy?
Speaker 2: Any of it?
Speaker 1: We're just gonna act like we've we've lost him in battle.
Speaker 1: But with that said, like, let's take a moment of silence.
Speaker 1: Tary lawan all time left tackle for the Tennessee Titans,
Speaker 1: no longer with us.
Speaker 2: Thanks boys, Taylor, We love you brother. See you next week.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: But that sucks, man, Like the boys battled the last
Speaker 1: few years and just I've watched it the whole him
Speaker 1: trying to g b O T get back on track.
Speaker 1: After the first ACL, tear my man gets popped for
Speaker 1: the PD thing, battles through that, coming back the next year,
Speaker 1: Tear's is a cl midway through the year, was having
Speaker 1: was having a good year. There's is a CL and
Speaker 1: that's what started the whole fucking up and down roller
Speaker 1: coaster rider coming back because it's tough, Like you look
Speaker 1: at Green Bay, like toris ACL the same year later
Speaker 1: in the year. David didn't play it all last year
Speaker 1: and he's been getting slowly put back in this year,
Speaker 1: so essentially like two years to bounce back from an ACL,
Speaker 1: and it's just brutal, man. I see the work that
Speaker 1: this dude puts in every off season or has put
Speaker 1: in every off season.
Speaker 2: Just get back on track.
Speaker 1: Like, mentally, that is a fucking grind to come back
Speaker 1: from a major surgery, especially when you feel the pressure
Speaker 1: in the stresses of being like the highest paid offensive
Speaker 1: lineman when he signed that deal, Like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of expectation of pressure that comes with that, and you
Speaker 1: can think of it as like, I mean, you're paid,
Speaker 1: it's all good, Like you're gonna be all that's true,
Speaker 1: but the human element, all of us, like you end
Speaker 1: up you end up subconsciously putting that pressure on yourself
Speaker 1: because you want, you love and appreciate a fan base
Speaker 1: in a city that drafted you and bet on you
Speaker 1: a second time for a five year deal, and you
Speaker 1: feel like you don't want to let those people down. Yes,
Speaker 1: you're taking care of forever, but like you hate like letting,
Speaker 1: Like football is the most selfish spport in the world,
Speaker 1: and when you feel like you can't be out there,
Speaker 1: you feel like you're disappointing your teammate, your coaches, the
Speaker 1: people that believe in you, your family like the fans,
Speaker 1: and everything else, especially when you know you're doing everything
Speaker 1: necessary every off season. My man, the food, like everything,
Speaker 1: the pts, Like he's done so much shit to try
Speaker 1: and bounce back, and for him to like be put
Speaker 1: on on ir again for the same knee, it's just
Speaker 1: got to be such a tough blow mentally because again,
Speaker 1: like you have some of the games last year where
Speaker 1: you come out or you get rolled up on or
Speaker 1: you're limping, or you have the swelling Hipri extended his
Speaker 1: knee in the Seattle game during fucking warm ups last
Speaker 1: year and can't play, And I would assume like as
Speaker 1: a player you think of like you get labeled as
Speaker 1: an injury guy, Like that fucking sucks because then when
Speaker 1: you're labeled that, like you feel like you have to
Speaker 1: over explain yourself for being injured because you're just so like,
Speaker 1: I mean, you want nothing more than they go out
Speaker 1: there and play and play at a high level. And
Speaker 1: then when you get taken out and it's to the
Speaker 1: knee and there's not like hope on coming back, it's
Speaker 1: just like it sucks because it's been like three years
Speaker 1: of that for the boy.
Speaker 6: Well beginning of the season two, when the Titans release Current,
Speaker 6: he became the longest tenure Titan. Yeah, so that just
Speaker 6: adds on top of what you're saying, like you don't
Speaker 6: want to let anyone down.
Speaker 3: It's like Taylor to One has been here, he's he's
Speaker 3: he was.
Speaker 1: Like the only guy in the roster who has seen
Speaker 1: a losing season in Tennessee because they've turned it around
Speaker 1: the way they have since Rabels came on board. And
Speaker 1: it just sucks, dude, Like it's it's uh, it's brutal,
Speaker 1: like that's just that fucking sucks, and like you know,
Speaker 1: I am on the business side of it. Like again,
Speaker 1: you you just you play all those games because you
Speaker 1: want to be in the two Tone balloon like two
Speaker 1: Tone Blue your entire career, and uh, yeah, you play
Speaker 1: so many different situations in your head and it just sucks.
Speaker 2: It just sucks your primetime. You're ready to fucking block
Speaker 2: von Miller.
Speaker 1: I mean fuck, I wouldn't want to block von Miller,
Speaker 1: but uh, and then to go out, I just fucking
Speaker 1: for what was it second play the game, first play,
Speaker 1: second play?
Speaker 3: It was in the first drive.
Speaker 2: I would know that, Yeah, I just I man, it
Speaker 2: fucking sucks.
Speaker 1: And to think like, oh, I'm about I got a
Speaker 1: clip back again like Thomas Davis towards ACL like three
Speaker 1: times and still a mask like a Pro Bowl and
Speaker 1: shit like that. But just the the mental like fortitude
Speaker 1: and shit, you need to have to like again, be like, fuck,
Speaker 1: it's about to be another grueling fucking year to about, Yeah,
Speaker 1: another battle to bounce back on. It sucks, man, But
Speaker 1: the boy will be back with us next week. You'll
Speaker 1: probably be be hearing from him. Soon, but obviously, given
Speaker 1: that he just heard his uh news a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago, he wanted to take a week in all
Speaker 1: respects to the boy. Remember, if you're in the comments
Speaker 1: right now, we're gonna, we're gonna he's dead like we
Speaker 1: lost him, but uh just just.
Speaker 2: Like like he's gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of dead, fucking Spootober is upon us. And
Speaker 1: for everybody knew that's sitting in that doesn't necessarily know
Speaker 1: what Spootober is. Spootober is the entire month of October.
Speaker 1: Like holiday season starts with Spootober, you get in a
Speaker 1: full month of Spootober. Then you got Thanksgiving and to
Speaker 1: look forward to. Then you got Christmas to look forward to.
Speaker 1: Holliday's seasons like here, and nothing gets you in the
Speaker 1: nothing gets you in the season like Spootober, like October
Speaker 1: coming up like Halloween. The Goos, the Goblins, the Killers,
Speaker 1: the Slashers, Mike Myers, Jason forhe'es all the boys. So
Speaker 1: here is how you participate in Spooktober rule number one.
Speaker 1: Refer to October as Spooktober. Rule number two. You watch
Speaker 1: a spook a day. What I mean by that it
Speaker 1: can be a scary movie. It can be like a
Speaker 1: Halloween holiday theme movie. It could be like Charlie Brown,
Speaker 1: it could be a cartoon. It doesn't matter. As long
Speaker 1: as you're in the spirit of Spootober. You gotta run
Speaker 1: a spook a day. Maybe you got kids at home
Speaker 1: and they need to You want to throw something on
Speaker 1: it and get them in the spook, get them in
Speaker 1: the vibes. But all you gotta do Rule number two,
Speaker 1: watch a spook a day. We will be dropping a
Speaker 1: movie that we watch every day. Engage with us, talk
Speaker 1: to us. We love that shit. We'll be sharing it
Speaker 1: because again, we are all embracing the spook together, which
Speaker 1: leads me to rule number three. A Halloween themed event
Speaker 1: every weekend. Whether you go to a pumpkin patch, a
Speaker 1: haunted house, you know what else? Boys out of what
Speaker 1: is it? The haunted cornfield? Yeah, haunted cornfields? A punkin patch. Again,
Speaker 1: you go to another bump up, different pumpkin patch. There

Speaker 1: But that's okay.
Speaker 2: You can double up our bumpkin patches.
Speaker 1: You go apple picking, something that just gets you out there,
Speaker 1: drinks some cider like partake. Maybe you have a little
Speaker 1: fire and you guys are embracing the spook somehow every weekend,
Speaker 1: figure out a way to embrace the spook. And rule
Speaker 1: number four, which I've said it with the last two rules,
Speaker 1: is embrace the spook.
Speaker 2: One way you can do.
Speaker 1: That outside of all those rules is we also have merchandise.
Speaker 1: What you see me wearing a Spootober dad had. We
Speaker 1: just added that to the toolbox. We got Spootober team
Speaker 1: shirts out there, uh store DP barstool sports dot com.

Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 1: We got the pregame sideline passes, the the the atmosphere
Speaker 1: in Tennessee is electric, Like I know, it's not. It's
Speaker 1: not that way for every game. It's not that way
Speaker 1: for every game. It's the big games that come to town.
Speaker 1: You would love to see some consistency with the Tennessee balls.
Speaker 1: It's like Nebraska, we can be zero to ten, we're
Speaker 1: gonna sell out the game or We're still gonna be
Speaker 1: loud for the first quarter anyway, Tennessee, like we went
Speaker 1: to Ole Miss and now Florida and like it's deafening noise. Bro, Mitch,
Speaker 1: I know you said Penn State, but as I've played
Speaker 1: in Penn State, I still think Tennessee's the loudest experience
Speaker 1: I've had. Not only but Tennessee's built straight up, whereas
Speaker 1: Penn State is a little bit more, It's got a
Speaker 1: little bit more outer, it's more bolt.
Speaker 2: That's a good point, A good point. Yeah, yeah, Mitch.
Speaker 2: By the way, Mitch, Mitch Carlsley, I'm just kidding. I
Speaker 2: know I was butcher and that on purpose. I already
Speaker 2: did it for the blog.
Speaker 1: But we got a new a shot a hey shot
Speaker 1: out Mitch his first pot, his first.
Speaker 2: Pod that he's been on. But Mitch is joining our team.
Speaker 1: We we uh, we got him from the NASCAR in
Speaker 1: NASCAR background. We saw him from NASCAR a little bit,
Speaker 1: offered him a little bit of money, tried getting him
Speaker 1: out of there.
Speaker 2: Ye, I don't know, am I allowed to say that?
Speaker 1: Like nobody's gonna take that the wrong way over in Nascar?
Speaker 1: Are they herebyes for the boys on NASCAR. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, but we're happy to have Mitch. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that's Mitch talking. He thinks Penn State's louder than Tennessee.
Speaker 7: I think Penn State's definitely loud of Tennessee.
Speaker 2: I'm not don't say definitely, like don't double down.
Speaker 4: I mean, but I being I've been to two Penn
Speaker 4: State whiteouts. The atmosphere is unreal. I would say Tennessee
Speaker 4: the checker like with the stands and everything that was
Speaker 4: that was dope as well.
Speaker 7: But I think I got a ride with pen You're.
Speaker 1: Just saying I was playing at the wrong game on
Speaker 1: Penn State. Yeah, it was the week of the Sandusky.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean that has everything to do with it then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, it was the week of the Jerry Sandusky case.
Speaker 1: They thought about canceling our game because people were flipping stuff,
Speaker 1: things were getting caught on fire. There was like riots
Speaker 1: going on trying to take him down. But that was
Speaker 1: the week of Sandusky. It was weirdly eerie in the
Speaker 1: in the theme of Spootober Jesus. But like we went
Speaker 1: and stayed at a motel that shared a parking lot
Speaker 1: with his uh whatever charity. It was that building, shared
Speaker 1: the parking lot, our motel, motel, walking outside outdoors motel. Dude,
Speaker 1: it was a spooky setting that we can then you
Speaker 1: like do a prayer before and everything else. So it's
Speaker 1: kind of like a people coming together type of thing
Speaker 1: because of all the ship that was going down with
Speaker 1: him and all the things that were coming out. But
Speaker 1: it was maybe that was like a just wasn't as
Speaker 1: loud because.
Speaker 7: The al sand one of their coaches just weird. Yeah,
Speaker 7: like in the lightness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Tennessee gets rowdy.
Speaker 7: They definitely he gets bucked rowdy.
Speaker 2: We love Tennessee. Tennessee loves the boys too. Like it was,

Speaker 1: merch were rolling out. We're getting into some other fan
Speaker 1: bases that's rolling out this Thursday. Beurely on it, because
Speaker 1: some stuff does sell out, like our two tone blue Titans.
Speaker 1: The boys hats those are out. Those are getting made

Speaker 3: We have the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Iowa Hawkeyes.

Speaker 1: I think that's it right, Like we're trying to work
Speaker 1: on maybe some chief stuff right right, that's a base.
Speaker 2: I think we're going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Timpto Look, everybody knows I bleed silver and black,
Speaker 1: A two tone blue, silver and black, red, big red
Speaker 1: commander's colors.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I bleed all of those colors at one time.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, all that stuff will be coming out. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you a Thursday dry it's dropping on Thursday. Make
Speaker 1: sure to pick that stuff up. Let's with that, like,
Speaker 1: let's get into the NFL headlines coming out of the weekend. Boys,
Speaker 1: I was I did go, uh whatever my record was
Speaker 1: this weekend, I lost. Surprisingly, I did not think the Bills.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that because I think coach McDaniel's is
Speaker 1: a really good coach. I think he's an offensive genius.
Speaker 1: It's been said by multiple people that he's a stud.
Speaker 1: But I did think Bills were gonna take We're gonna
Speaker 1: win that football game. I was surprising that they lost
Speaker 1: because they've outscored their opponent seventy something like fifteen and
Speaker 1: they ended up losing that game. And what a weird uh,
Speaker 1: what a weird sequence of events with Tua he getting
Speaker 1: like knocked out stumbling and then he's he's back on
Speaker 1: the field.
Speaker 2: Now they're going under investigation for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what happens with.
Speaker 2: That what is the protocol too, is this I don't know.
Speaker 1: So the protocol is somebody who's like gotten cancussed and
Speaker 1: not been a lot back in the game.
Speaker 2: You like go through this iPad.
Speaker 1: You have like the standard you do in the off
Speaker 1: season where you like play these games, right, you do
Speaker 1: all these like brain games, remembering letters, remembering words, remembering
Speaker 1: number sequences, walking lines, like doing a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: that's like on the iPad that you do that you
Speaker 1: compete at, and you get a baseline of what your
Speaker 1: times are like only and only like the iPad and
Speaker 1: the training room, they know those the baseline and where
Speaker 1: you are, like your reaction time, your focus, whatever, your
Speaker 1: memory and all that shit is what it's memory is
Speaker 1: what it is, what it is remembering. And so when
Speaker 1: you get concussed, you go through like that same testing,
Speaker 1: that same protocol you got to go inside.
Speaker 2: You got to go through all these brain games and
Speaker 2: everything else.
Speaker 1: And I think they correlate it with your baseline that
Speaker 1: you did in the off season. If you pass those
Speaker 1: numbers with flying colors, you get like the same times,
Speaker 1: you're good to go. They talk to you, you say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm good, like I can play and do this, and
Speaker 1: that you are usually free to go back into the game. Now,
Speaker 1: I think what everybody's getting pissed off about, like the
Speaker 1: NFLPA and everything else, is you look at the footage
Speaker 1: and it's like, even though the guy is saying that
Speaker 1: and he passes all these tests, like there should be
Speaker 1: an element of we're gonna look out for this player
Speaker 1: just because even though all the data says he's good,
Speaker 1: and he's saying he's good, we should take him out
Speaker 1: of the game. That's what I'm assuming without knowing any
Speaker 1: of the conversations going on on to a side and
Speaker 1: the team side, like obviously the team you want your
Speaker 1: quarterback out there. Let's say, let's just hypothetically say, and
Speaker 1: this could be the case, like you were looking out
Speaker 1: for your star quarterback, like you want what's best for them,
Speaker 1: Like when might happened. It was in Denver and it
Speaker 1: was our last game of the year. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: our last game of the year in twenty nineteen. There
Speaker 1: was like a half a quarter left in the game,
Speaker 1: and I did pass it fairly well, like I was
Speaker 1: a little off, and they're like, bro, we're just gonna
Speaker 1: keep you out. Like I mean, it's the end of
Speaker 1: it's the the season. We're not going to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: just the last game of the year. We're gonna keep
Speaker 1: you out now. I would assume that there are still like, Tua,
Speaker 1: are you sure, Like we probably shouldn't or we shouldn't
Speaker 1: do this and that, and it's like, how are you feeling,
Speaker 1: And maybe Tua is like saying, hey, I'm good, like
Speaker 1: I'm fine, Like I know how that looked, but I'm fine.
Speaker 1: I'm passing all these tests, YadA, YadA, YadA. They might
Speaker 1: look at each other like fuck man. Ultimately like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's your call. I'm just I'm doing hypotheticals right now
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to be in the position of all right,
Speaker 1: if you're Tua and you're really trying to play, like actually,
Speaker 1: like dude, guys, I'm fucking fine trying to play, then
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you let him go out.
Speaker 2: There, and I think where everybody's getting piss off.
Speaker 1: It's like, even though he's saying that, and even though
Speaker 1: he's passing all these baseline tests, you should know based
Speaker 1: on what happened out there, that he should not go back.
Speaker 2: On the football field.
Speaker 1: Those are all the different scenarios that I'm assuming and
Speaker 1: that's why I think like the NFLPA and everybody's gonna
Speaker 1: get involved with that. So here's so here's Ian Rappaport.
Speaker 1: Here's what he tweeted. When did he tweet this twenty
Speaker 1: three hours ago? Okay, so I just said all of
Speaker 1: that and I'm not I am not aware of the
Speaker 1: see and Rappaport tweet his tweet my understanding of the
Speaker 1: tua the tua situation. He tweaked his back in the
Speaker 1: first quarter on a sneak and didn't miss time. After
Speaker 1: the Matt Mulano hit, his back locked up, leading to
Speaker 1: him wobbling into the locker room for a full concussion check.
Speaker 2: Fully cleared, now on the field.
Speaker 1: So again, if you're two in that situation and let's
Speaker 1: just say he's fully like arguing to go back on
Speaker 1: the field, they could be saying, hey, this is look
Speaker 1: like that's my back locking up based on that sneak, right, Like,
Speaker 1: this is why I kind of went down because it
Speaker 1: pinched the boy. Listen, I didn't work out this morning.
Speaker 1: I got tweaking my back a little bit. That shit
Speaker 1: does happen. Your ten is in danger, but that like,
Speaker 1: that's my it's kind of like I guess my take
Speaker 1: as far as like if I'm fully two of the
Speaker 1: player and I'm fully trying to play versus like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna kind of like you know, it felt bad, like
Speaker 1: only he knows, right, That's why it's it's him arguing
Speaker 1: from his shoes if he wants to go back on
Speaker 1: the field, if he fully cleared again. On the baseline,
Speaker 1: it's like, it's a tough situation. I do see why
Speaker 1: the NFLPA and people are trying to get involved because ultimately,
Speaker 1: like we're trying to progress and grow from all this,
Speaker 1: these brain injuries and everything else. You don't want to
Speaker 1: see him go back out on the field, so like, hey,
Speaker 1: you need to step in and protect him, even though
Speaker 1: he's trying to fully sell that he's all right. So
Speaker 1: like I, you know, I can kind of see every side.
Speaker 1: The Raiders are oh and three. Listen. If anybody understands optimism,
Speaker 1: it's me. I've been in these situations in the NFL
Speaker 1: with my college football team currently with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Speaker 1: The Raiders have life left, They got the they have
Speaker 1: the ingredients. They just they came out flat against the
Speaker 1: Titans and hats off to the number one, and I
Speaker 1: don't want to.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Raiders being oh and three right now.
Speaker 1: I will get to the Titans out a fucking hell
Speaker 1: of a game and they had they needed that win,
Speaker 1: like they needed to bounce back and win.
Speaker 2: But right now, I'm talking about the Raiders being oh
Speaker 2: and three.
Speaker 1: You come out flat, you kind of together a good
Speaker 1: second half, but you have the ingredients to be a
Speaker 1: good football team. There's you can argue about the offensive line.
Speaker 1: We could get better here, we get better there. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the players were outter
Speaker 1: on the field to make you got DC barely overthrown
Speaker 1: Waller one time when he got behind the defense. You
Speaker 1: would love to see d wall bringing that thing in
Speaker 1: one hand and take it to the house. D wall
Speaker 1: had a tough catch in the end zone where he
Speaker 1: could have caught the ball and had six points and
Speaker 1: ends up bopping up Kevin Byer picks it off. They
Speaker 1: take it back like it's a game of momentum. You
Speaker 1: get that, you get an interception. I forget the safety's name.
Speaker 1: Shout out the safety. I'm not trying to be disrespectful.
Speaker 1: He picks off Tannehill in the third quarter and you
Speaker 1: are pretty much in field goal range. Penalties call everything
Speaker 1: else backs you up, and you have to you have
Speaker 1: to have a punt. You get no points out of
Speaker 1: the interception, which is a momentum swing. I guess I'm
Speaker 1: saying all these things is no, like, it's not like
Speaker 1: it's a bad football team and they're.
Speaker 2: Just not winning games.
Speaker 1: They're they're kind of they're not taking advantage of their
Speaker 1: advantageous situations and they're not capitalizing. Like when they have
Speaker 1: the opportunities to go up in the game last week
Speaker 1: against a car Erinals, you're up twenty to nothing. You
Speaker 1: gotta figure out a way to step on their neck
Speaker 1: in the second half. You're up twenty nothing at home,
Speaker 1: continue to like, you know, foot on the gas pedal
Speaker 1: and win that fucking game. You let them get back
Speaker 1: in the two point conversies and everything else. Again, they're
Speaker 1: up twenty to nothing. It's not like they're a bad
Speaker 1: football team. Getting beat by the Cardinals the week before.
Speaker 1: I guess what we're all thinking is a good Chargers
Speaker 1: football team. You lose that game by five points with
Speaker 1: four turnovers. Again, I'll find the optimism in all these
Speaker 1: games because I do think that they're a good team.
Speaker 1: They got they got so many weapons. Number ten steps
Speaker 1: up yesterday. It's like want of Renfros down all right,
Speaker 1: Davontae adamss together. You still got Josh s Jacobs, who
Speaker 1: who's averaging like six yards of carry yesterday. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you can stick with the run game, but
Speaker 1: also you're behind by two possessions in the second half.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to but you got Josh Jacobs,
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, Davante Adams, all these cats, bro and the
Speaker 1: defense bowed up in the second half because Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: They were moving the ball. The boys were moving the
Speaker 1: ball in the first half, and so it's like they
Speaker 1: got these weapons and then ten comes out of nowhere
Speaker 1: and steps up in the game. You really, you got
Speaker 1: another fucking weapon now when Hunter Renfro comes back.
Speaker 2: So again, it's like they have the ingredients.
Speaker 1: And I've talked to the boys, like they love like McDaniels,
Speaker 1: he comes from that that Patriot where like I do
Speaker 1: think that they have the culture stuff from what I've.
Speaker 2: Heard in that building, and I know the locker room.
Speaker 1: Like it's an awesome locker room to be a part
Speaker 1: of with the player accountability and like trying to eliminate
Speaker 1: the outside noise because there's a fuck ton of it
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Raiders fan base, like they're
Speaker 1: ready to they're ready to sell everything, cut car, fire
Speaker 1: the head coach, let's start over again. It's literally been
Speaker 1: one year if this is the first year they've all
Speaker 1: been together. But that's like the heat that's on the
Speaker 1: street right now. But they've got to win this next
Speaker 1: week against Denver. And look, I'm not a player on
Speaker 1: the team, so I can say whatever I want to,
Speaker 1: like they should beat Denver. Like Denver's not a better
Speaker 1: football team than the Raiders. They should beat Denver at home.
Speaker 1: And then you got some momentum going against the Chiefs
Speaker 1: before you go into your bye week, So there's still
Speaker 1: life left, like there's a pulse there, but you cannot drop.
Speaker 1: You cannot go into the bye week one and four,
Speaker 1: ro and five where it's like you're behind the eight ball.
Speaker 1: The good thing is that the Chiefs loss to the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. Wild cannot believe they lost to the Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 2: Some mahomes.
Speaker 1: You saw some argument going on the sideline, like that
Speaker 1: is a wild loss by the Chiefs. But if you're
Speaker 1: the Raiders, you needed the Chiefs to lose because they
Speaker 1: were them.
Speaker 2: Before this loss. The Chargers got whooped.
Speaker 1: By the Jaguars, and again our Jaguars them like our
Speaker 1: Jaguars about to run the South, which is a wild
Speaker 1: thing to say. They've been putting up close to thirty,
Speaker 1: if not north to thirty points per game. And I
Speaker 1: don't want to say that we were flirting with the idea,
Speaker 1: but we were rumoring the whole Doug Peterson Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 1: connection before the season started. We just didn't have like,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be the guy that says the
Speaker 1: Jaguars might win the division this year. I'm thinking it's
Speaker 1: either gonna be the Colts or the Titans based on
Speaker 1: their rosters and what they got on paper. But the
Speaker 1: Jags are fucking they can be legit, dude. They're playing
Speaker 1: good ball and they handled the Chargers. Who is a
Speaker 1: good football team. I guess time will tell because Chargers
Speaker 1: are what now. I know you were just on that
Speaker 1: Chargers are one and two. The Broncos are a sneaky
Speaker 1: two and one. I think they're a sneaky two in one.
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be a real two and one football team.
Speaker 2: This is me talking.
Speaker 1: I'm not a player, I'm not on the roster, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I can talk my shit a
Speaker 1: little bit. There's sneaky two in one. Shout out to
Speaker 1: boy Melvin Gordon's going. He's been going digital. Shout out
Speaker 1: to my man securing the football on the goal line
Speaker 1: and going it in for the go ahead touchdown last night,
Speaker 1: not fumbling it and the Chiefs loss. So again, I
Speaker 1: know we're owing three and we're down bad, and the
Speaker 1: Silver and Black were down bad right now in Vegas.
Speaker 1: But there is still a little bit of optimism. There's
Speaker 1: still a little bit of pulse. It's like, we're not
Speaker 1: freaking out right now. We cannot freak out. There's got
Speaker 1: to be some light and we will bear this cross
Speaker 1: of having some optimism going into these next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: A game I fucking love that bloss Say yeah, get
Speaker 1: the microphones, say that said.
Speaker 8: Oh, and three is the new O and two, so
Speaker 8: it's still possible to make it into the postseason.
Speaker 2: But say why you said three's the new O and
Speaker 2: two because it.
Speaker 8: Was an added game and people team to forget that
Speaker 8: all they're looking at is at O and three.
Speaker 1: I love yeah, sprinkle that shit up, brother Owen. Three's
Speaker 1: the new OH and two. And we're not panicking on
Speaker 1: O and two. This is not the league to do it.
Speaker 1: You can do it in the NC double A. That's kids. Shit,
Speaker 1: We're at the big dog table. We're not freaking out
Speaker 1: for oh and two. I love that. That juiced me
Speaker 1: up even more. That juiced me up even more. Bro
Speaker 1: Yo on that Broncos Niners game last night? Fuck, what
Speaker 1: are we doing? Bloss George Kittle.
Speaker 2: Like, ay, you you guys got the squad. You guys
Speaker 2: got a squad.
Speaker 9: We definitely do. We have the squad. We have the talent.
Speaker 8: We have literally a top five player and probably the
Speaker 8: most important positions. You have it at left tackle, you
Speaker 8: have it at full back, talk to him, You have
Speaker 8: it at at tight end, you have it at wide receiver, linebacker.
Speaker 8: I mean, our secondary is crazy, Our defense is crazy.
Speaker 8: Our defense allowed nine points. Our offense gave him two.
Speaker 8: That's why we lost.
Speaker 2: Gave him too.
Speaker 1: It was like seven to five going into the fourth. Right,
Speaker 1: it was such a weird weird score, weirdness set, Like
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is he the new dan Orlovsky. I saw
Speaker 1: Dan's tweet. I absolutely loved it. Freedom somebody else did it.
Speaker 9: But did you see the way Dan did it versus
Speaker 9: the way Jimmy did it?
Speaker 2: Saw the way it did it?
Speaker 1: But the results still the same? Yeah know what I mean,
Speaker 1: said to my man, Dan Orlovsky. He's out there, he's
Speaker 1: out there spinning game every week and educating the masters
Speaker 1: on football.
Speaker 8: Actually, speaking of that, did you see the butt kicking?
Speaker 8: The butt kick the butt punts? Sorry no, I saw
Speaker 8: Pat tweet about that. Don't say uh oh no, And
Speaker 8: I punted into the back of the ppe.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's bad ball, dude.
Speaker 8: Mark Sanchenz was happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shit happens man any given Sunday. But I love
Speaker 1: that for Dan Orlowski. We are massive fans over here
Speaker 1: busting the boys of Dani Rolovsky. He needs to come
Speaker 1: on the bus at some point in time. I'm glad
Speaker 1: he just feels liberated from Jimmy g getting a safety.
Speaker 1: And the fucking Niners are lucky too, because that was
Speaker 1: that was a pick six.
Speaker 2: It was a turnover.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they said he gave up eight points if that
Speaker 8: would counted, Yo, gave up six?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get in a safety to Big six. Oh god,
Speaker 1: the safety was a good thing. But I cannot believe
Speaker 1: you guys lost that game. I like, I'm like a
Speaker 1: I'm a little clause of niners man just because the
Speaker 1: boy kiddle like we need him.
Speaker 2: To pick it up.
Speaker 8: We're still not panicking though, remember those an extra game added?
Speaker 2: All right, well, talk to get them new hats on Thursday.

Speaker 1: episode Other Jacks Legit. Garrett Garrett is our our NFL
Speaker 1: insider for the Tennessee Titans. Yeah, our AFC South representative.
Speaker 1: He wears a two tone of blue. Hey, I know
Speaker 1: it's hard. It might not be as hard to say,
Speaker 1: but it feels weird to say, like the Jaguars might
Speaker 1: be them in the AFC South.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's tough to see, especially just because, like you
Speaker 6: were saying, nobody was talking about them.
Speaker 3: It was the Colts and only the Colts.
Speaker 6: But maybe they're maybe they're turning it around, right, But
Speaker 6: I know you mean it's gonna be It's definitely gonna
Speaker 6: be interesting. I haven't really watched a full Jags game,
Speaker 6: just the highlights, But what is it what's the running
Speaker 6: back name?
Speaker 3: James Robinson looks nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, etn He's a little dog.
Speaker 6: And of course I just I'm not a fan of
Speaker 6: Trevor Lawrence from college to now, like I have to
Speaker 6: play against him again, yeah, twice a year.
Speaker 1: He looks like a good ballplayer, like he's coming into
Speaker 1: his own. I think it's a lot.
Speaker 6: He is a good ballplayer, and he's got a coaching staff.
Speaker 6: It's hilarious to see how bad urban Meyer was.
Speaker 1: Right right, and it's like we we were talking about
Speaker 1: it before the season started. But Doug Peterson, he's like
Speaker 1: he gets them quarterbacks right, like WinCE was a dog
Speaker 1: when he was with him, and then when he went down, Uh,
Speaker 1: Foles comes in and goes right away and takes them
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl and wins it. Like Peterson's got
Speaker 1: the vibe. And one of my boys, Nate Gary, he
Speaker 1: was on the Eagles, like with the Peters sef and
Speaker 1: he just says like they're the fucking best, like they're
Speaker 1: awesome to play for.
Speaker 2: So it's like it's a combo.
Speaker 1: What I love about the NFL too, like with even
Speaker 1: with the AFC South now is the Colts beat the
Speaker 1: Chiefs like you think you're a shitty football team and
Speaker 1: you go out and beat one of the juggernauts of
Speaker 1: the NFL, like you have life now, right, Like, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: you go in the locker room, you hold.
Speaker 2: Up that football as the head coach, we can play
Speaker 2: with anybody. One of those speeches.
Speaker 6: Right, it's exactly what you said last week, like about
Speaker 6: the panic button, and you're saying that it's the NFL.
Speaker 3: Anything can happen, Anything can happen. Bro kind of showed
Speaker 3: that again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and again, like even on the Titans, like
Speaker 1: you start zero and two and it looks shaky because
Speaker 1: if you're just speaking objectively, like yeah, we could have
Speaker 1: some inside the locker room takes as far as like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's still a dog, even though he's not a big name,
Speaker 1: Like he's still a dog.
Speaker 2: He's a dog. Like you can say all this.
Speaker 1: Stuff about the players inside, but there's no firepower like receiver.
Speaker 2: Right, you don't have nobody like take the top off.
Speaker 1: The Titans are known for running the football, and all
Speaker 1: the stats coming out of the first two games with
Speaker 1: the Titans is that Derek Henry for the majority of
Speaker 1: the time is getting hit at or but line behind
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, like if your identity is running
Speaker 1: the football and you can't do that, like it's going
Speaker 1: it seems like it's going to be a long year
Speaker 1: for the Titans. But what I loved is on the
Speaker 1: mc V show with Aaron Rodgers, He's like, is Mike
Speaker 1: Verbel still the head football coach there?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Pa was trying to say somebody's like and shut the
Speaker 1: fuck up. And it just shows that Raves and that
Speaker 1: like that they they will get the boys playing like
Speaker 1: it might be gritty every game that you might have
Speaker 1: to win, but they're gonna know how to win.
Speaker 2: They're gonna know what it takes.
Speaker 1: They're gonna know how to try and exploit whatever they
Speaker 1: can to win that football game, and like a dirty fashion.
Speaker 6: It showed a lot in that first quarter especially. Yeah,
Speaker 6: they bounced out like thumping, like the ball was moving.
Speaker 6: Tannehill looked good, the receivers looked good, defense looked good. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and then it's still one of those things like the
Speaker 6: second half comes and it's like we play like we
Speaker 6: just play careful with the lead. Yeah, like you're saying
Speaker 6: that the Raiders needed to do last week. Keep that
Speaker 6: foot on the gas MM hm and hopefully hopefully we'll
Speaker 6: get that out. Yeah, hopefully we'll We'll keep doing that.
Speaker 6: But yeah, shout out Kevin BYRN.
Speaker 7: Beast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out the boys.

Speaker 1: person of the community and everything else.
Speaker 2: Like he's a really good fucking dude. Man. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: massive win for the Titans, bro.
Speaker 1: Like I know, it seems like I was on the
Speaker 1: other side of the fence because I was rooting for
Speaker 1: the Raiders to win the game. But it's like a
Speaker 1: it's a weird spot to be in. At the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I have a lot of good relationships
Speaker 1: on both sides. I feel like when everything that went
Speaker 1: down in December and I was in that locker room
Speaker 1: with the Raiders and all those guys, and like, there's just.
Speaker 2: Like I wanted them. I was, I was rooting for them.
Speaker 1: It's hard because I'm rooting for like everybody, but obviously
Speaker 1: you don't want to be a pussy and not pick somebody.
Speaker 2: So it's like, all right, well, I'm gonna pick the Raiders.
Speaker 6: Right Watching the game, it was one of those you
Speaker 6: see the Raiders offense and defense, You're like, damn, there's
Speaker 6: the boy.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, there's the boy. There's the boy.
Speaker 6: And then they get on defense You're like, oh, Mike,
Speaker 6: Jayon's there now, like oh everybody, and god.
Speaker 2: They got the foss on there.
Speaker 1: And I feel like I have some of those personal
Speaker 1: relate not that I don't have those with the Titans,
Speaker 1: but I feel like I'm talking to some of those
Speaker 1: guys in the Raiders a little more often. Like again,
Speaker 1: you got Max, Darren Waller, yeah Foster, like you got
Speaker 1: a mer Yeah, a mirror bro like Jayon, all those dudes. Man,
Speaker 1: you just got those some of the fellas on the team,
Speaker 1: and you root for like you like root for all
Speaker 1: the players, and they just have enough to where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for I'm pulling for the Silver and Black. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah they were. I did bet on them and they
Speaker 1: let me down heavy. But your boy made a hell
Speaker 1: of a fucking play and I hedged it in the
Speaker 1: second half, so I went I bet on the Raiders
Speaker 1: minus two and a half. And then when the second
Speaker 1: half came, I went back in and basically doubled down
Speaker 1: by going Raiders plus six and a half and they
Speaker 1: ended up covering.
Speaker 2: So I basically it was basically a w.
Speaker 1: It was a heady play, but it could have It
Speaker 1: could end badly, you know what I mean. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: get into our uh all that football talk, fire anything
Speaker 1: else that we needed and shout out the Boys day,

Speaker 1: either for the boys or you're against them type of mentality.

Speaker 8: noticed it until we started making that trip back from
Speaker 8: from Knoxville.
Speaker 9: I looked at my gas tank, saw.
Speaker 8: That I was running a little bit low, and I
Speaker 8: was holding out looking at those gas prices every county
Speaker 8: that we kind of went in, and I knew once
Speaker 8: it got below that three dollars mark, that that's where
Speaker 8: I should get gas. Because if I went and if
Speaker 8: I went to Nashville, I knew I was going to
Speaker 8: play pay that extra thirty cents. So I went ahead
Speaker 8: and filled up at that that that that gas tank
Speaker 8: in that county.
Speaker 9: That gets the gas presses right.
Speaker 8: So my shout out, no free shout out goes to
Speaker 8: filling up just before you get into uh into Nashville.

Speaker 10: you're o brother. The weather is starting to get a
Speaker 10: little cold. This isn't going where you think it's gone.
Speaker 10: So our noses are starting to get a little more stuffy.
Speaker 10: They will start to get more stuffy and This can
Speaker 10: happen outside of cold weather, but happens more frequently in
Speaker 10: cold weather. And there's nothing better. And parents might be
Speaker 10: upset at this, but there's nothing better than picking a
Speaker 10: huge booger out of your nose, going up there, seeing
Speaker 10: it and it's just a beast and you're like, hey,
Speaker 10: that felt good.
Speaker 1: There are some nose picks that feel good that you
Speaker 1: kind of pull out and you kind of feel sliding
Speaker 1: from your brain exactly.
Speaker 2: So I don't want this. I don't want this to end, dude.
Speaker 10: And what a lie that we were told our whole lives,
Speaker 10: like stop picking your nose, Stop picking your nose.
Speaker 1: I do agree with that, because can we can all
Speaker 1: agree that we're secret little nose we're sneaky nose pickers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like hard you never catch anybody else. So you think,
Speaker 1: like maybe you're a little twist in the head that
Speaker 1: you love picking it so much.

Speaker 3: Breathe the boger.
Speaker 2: That's a good one. You're right. Shout out to picking

Speaker 1: gonna get one. All the simulation. Like I'm kind of
Speaker 1: trying to talk her out of going, like I promise
Speaker 1: you it's okay if you don't want to go, because
Speaker 1: like a kind of sense that she didn't. She's like,
Speaker 1: oh man, I kind of want to back out of
Speaker 1: this because she was in Portland from Sunday to Thursday
Speaker 1: night and then we're waking up at like five in
Speaker 1: the morning to go to Knoxville and drive back.
Speaker 2: Rue was a nightmare on the way back, crying on
Speaker 2: the way home.

Speaker 1: with her and do everything else. And then we go
Speaker 1: to We got the tailgate Sunday morning at ten am.
Speaker 1: Like a lot boys. I wanted to kind of skip that.
Speaker 1: I was exhausted from the buck from the day before,
Speaker 1: but I literally thought to myself, like JP, Mitch and
Speaker 1: Bloss have been grinding too, Like those boys are grinding.
Speaker 1: And if I'm gonna sit here and make this and
Speaker 1: complain about man, I don't want to go and have
Speaker 1: a little party with the with Raider Nation and Titans
Speaker 1: Nation and then go watch a game like I'm such
Speaker 1: a pussy and a terrible leader. So that was like
Speaker 1: my little self talk because I was like, the boys
Speaker 1: have been grinding more than me. But then we go
Speaker 1: to the Titans game and bring Rude to that. Your
Speaker 1: boy dad of the year, Father of the year. I'm
Speaker 1: identifying that Charles has been doing a lot. So I'm
Speaker 1: trying to do as much as i can. When we're
Speaker 1: watching the Titans game, I'm changing rule on the couch
Speaker 1: in the back.
Speaker 2: I sweet, I'll get it this that.
Speaker 1: But I want to shout out my wife and my
Speaker 1: daughter Rue for just having a gritty weekend, not complaining
Speaker 1: about it, and Rude just having her first experiences at
Speaker 1: football games, like it was really cool to like get
Speaker 1: photos with her on the field and everything else.

Speaker 10: My Tier one month goes to July, middle of summer,
Speaker 10: peak heat, fourth of July, probably my second favorite holiday.

Speaker 10: even on your radar at all. Like in June, you
Speaker 10: still in high school, like hit the first couple of
Speaker 10: days and you're in summer. But July is just like
Speaker 10: peak summer, and I love summer.
Speaker 2: Love that you are. Yeah, I like, I wouldn't I would.
Speaker 2: I would kind of question you.
Speaker 1: I would think you're a fraud about your summer, your
Speaker 1: summer and sun vibes, because you're all about the sun,
Speaker 1: the beach and everything else.
Speaker 2: If you had you not picked like July.
Speaker 6: So Blossom and I agree on this one. And our

Speaker 1: coming in uh barstool, right, Yeah, yeah, him coming into
Speaker 1: barsol a lot with him and him and Aaron Foster's
Speaker 1: relationship on doing macrodosing with him and the team, because
Speaker 1: I just think it's a very unique duo, uh to
Speaker 1: do macrodosing. We also talk about the co Yeah, we
Speaker 1: talk a lot about my time at the Commanders. They're
Speaker 1: them having their show at ESPN, like how Pard might
Speaker 1: take started and some of their seasoned desist stuff that
Speaker 1: went on with ESPN.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: But yeah, a lot of talk about the R words,
Speaker 1: the f T s and the C words back when
Speaker 1: I played on the R words. So there was a
Speaker 1: lot there because PFT is a massive Washington fan. And
Speaker 1: then we did a roadback question at the end. Our
Speaker 1: tier talk was the best months of the year. But
Speaker 1: you guys will check it out anything else.
Speaker 2: Boys, I think with uh with T f T, there's clearly.
Speaker 10: You know, with us hitting number one a while back,
Speaker 10: there was some underlying beef that you and PFT kind
Speaker 10: of squashed.
Speaker 1: There was some friction like yeah, because they are the
Speaker 1: number one sports pod out there. However, we did dethron
Speaker 1: them for like a couple different rights.
Speaker 10: So y'all got into the originality of Busting with the Boys,
Speaker 10: right be the topic, right it?
Speaker 1: Actually it was good for me to learn about their
Speaker 1: part of my take creation, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Because we get a lot of people give us a
Speaker 1: lot of flak, and I'm like, you kind of just.
Speaker 2: Go with it because you just you know that nothing's
Speaker 2: really original at all.
Speaker 1: But that was fun to like learn about the beginning
Speaker 1: of part of my take and their little rise and

Speaker 1: As you can see, we got our We got the
Speaker 1: team mascot pft's dog Billy Football back in.
Speaker 2: The back recording right now. Yeah, we've been recording the hole.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: We were supposed to get potentially Arion Foster on, but
Speaker 1: he made he made a very clutch decision by saying
Speaker 1: I'm planning on being hungover while also giving us hope
Speaker 1: that he could come on. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: if I'm not on the pod, it's all good because
Speaker 1: I already told you I'm planning on the hangover.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so he is. He's indisposed right now.
Speaker 11: He's on campus for the first time at Tennessee since
Speaker 11: he graduated out there, or really since he left school.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So he's meeting up with all his friends, all his
Speaker 11: old coaches and stuff, and he's been.
Speaker 7: Pulled in line different directions.
Speaker 11: And last night we finally we got to do a
Speaker 11: drunk late night podcast for the first time with him
Speaker 11: on Macrodos and Macrodosing. So it was really fun. We
Speaker 11: went out to a waffle house and I think that
Speaker 11: is the first podcast ever recorded in a waffle house.
Speaker 7: So we sat at the table.
Speaker 11: He brought like two of his old teammates from college
Speaker 11: and he said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't be speaking out of turn Billy.
Speaker 7: He did jump permission idea to go to waffle house.
Speaker 11: Okay, Respectabilly. It was Billy's idea. It was a great
Speaker 11: idea that he had. And yeah, so we show up
Speaker 11: there at like two thirty or no, it was before.
Speaker 11: That's like one o'clock, one thirty, and we're all pretty inebriated.
Speaker 11: I accidentally took mushrooms last night, and so we're trying
Speaker 11: to macrodosing. Yeah, somebody slipped them into my hand and
Speaker 11: then I took them.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 11: So we were in the waffle house and we were
Speaker 11: recording the show, and it was actually, it was a
Speaker 11: really touching moment because he's going through all these emotions
Speaker 11: about coming back to college for the first time. And
Speaker 11: he's always been a dude who's like, he's not super
Speaker 11: friendly with college football because he looks at like what
Speaker 11: he did, and he looks at the way that the
Speaker 11: athletes were kind of exploited for a really.
Speaker 7: Long time, and he's got a lot of resentment.
Speaker 11: About that that he was he grew up pretty poor,
Speaker 11: and they kept him poor on purpose for longer than
Speaker 11: they need to, even though he was bringing in money
Speaker 11: to the team. And so he's always been like standoffish
Speaker 11: and had that relationship with college football. But being back
Speaker 11: here and seeing like some of his old coaches, his
Speaker 11: old teammates, and connecting with the fans, he's really like
Speaker 11: grown to appreciate college football in the entire environment around him.
Speaker 11: And he was like he was getting emotional and like crying.
Speaker 7: A little bit. Last night. It was it was really
Speaker 7: it was a beautiful thing. And then also on the pod.
Speaker 11: Yeah, then we got Big T, who was like the
Speaker 11: opposite of Arian in terms of he is like a
Speaker 11: college football nut.
Speaker 7: He's insane about college football.
Speaker 11: And seeing how happy Big T was back in this
Speaker 11: environment and the relationships that have kind of grown up
Speaker 11: around college football and the University of Tennessee, like Arians,
Speaker 11: started to get emotional and realize that there's a big
Speaker 11: connection between the players and the fans that sometimes he
Speaker 11: didn't always see. Now he also he still thinks that,
Speaker 11: like it was bullshit that they wouldn't pay the players
Speaker 11: for a very long time, and that's not going to change,
Speaker 11: nor should it in terms of like him not liking that,
Speaker 11: but getting to see him in Big T get like
Speaker 11: come close, like bros.
Speaker 2: It was really cool.
Speaker 11: And this all happened in a waffle house at one
Speaker 11: thirty am last night, and then afterwards he was so
Speaker 11: pumped up. He was like, I think I want to
Speaker 11: do that podcast with Will tomorrow and I was like, okay,
Speaker 11: all right, He's like I'm gonna be up early, just
Speaker 11: let me know. I was like, okay, we can make
Speaker 11: it happen. And then he's off doing something else.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, he's all good.
Speaker 1: Like if it's his first time, which is mind blowing
Speaker 1: to me, Like maybe it'll start coming back more now
Speaker 1: that he's kind of had that like moment, because I
Speaker 1: would love to talk to him about that stuff, because
Speaker 1: there's always like a there's always that separation mentally of
Speaker 1: because I agree with some of like the exploitation of
Speaker 1: the players, and you're happy that guys are getting paid
Speaker 1: in the Nile world. But there's also that like connection
Speaker 1: to the university and the connection that you have with
Speaker 1: like the fans, and it's hard to like separate, separate
Speaker 1: because when you speak on like what Arian always speaks on,
Speaker 1: you kind of divide yourself from the fans because fans
Speaker 1: can't necessarily always see it from your perspective because they
Speaker 1: love you know, they love the logo, they love all
Speaker 1: those banners up there so much, and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: why is and he being grateful about the time that
Speaker 1: he had. But then when you're in it, you can
Speaker 1: like it's a weird it's a weird bridge to gap
Speaker 1: at times.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're exactly right.
Speaker 11: It's just cool having that conversation and seeing like him
Speaker 11: opening up about some of the stuff that he's usually
Speaker 11: like a little bit guarded about.
Speaker 7: Yeah, now was that because the waffles were so good?
Speaker 7: Was that because the vibes or vibes.
Speaker 11: Were high and it was late and you know what
Speaker 11: it was, but it was It was a cool moment.
Speaker 11: And shout out to Billy Football whose idea was so
Speaker 11: to podcast from Walthless. Want to make sure to get
Speaker 11: that into Oh Billy Man. Billy is in the background
Speaker 11: right now. Yeah, just hanging out.
Speaker 1: So how do you get connected? How does the relationship
Speaker 1: with Aaron even come about? Like when you guys drop
Speaker 1: Macrodos and I see you and Aaron Foster doing a pod,
Speaker 1: Like I was thinking to myself like, oh, he doesn't
Speaker 1: even seem like somebody who would be like a barstool guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now he's doing a pod with you called Macrodosing
Speaker 1: where you guys seems like tall conspiracy theories or pretty
Speaker 1: much anything that's on your mind.
Speaker 11: Yeah, basically like whatever we're interested in that given week.
Speaker 11: But we we met through Actually he came on part
Speaker 11: of my take back in like twenty sixteen. I want
Speaker 11: to say yeah, and I started listening to his music
Speaker 11: because you want to talk about his music career, and obviously,
Speaker 11: like I had interact with him before on Twitter and
Speaker 11: like bust his balls about the whole, like, you know
Speaker 11: the debate he had where he said that he could
Speaker 11: take down.
Speaker 7: A wolfh rogue one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11: So he said on Twitter one time like I could
Speaker 11: defeat a wolf in my bare hands in combat, and
Speaker 11: that went so viral that he got He still gets
Speaker 11: asked on podcasts to this day to ask if he
Speaker 11: could a wolf, and he still does.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he still does things.
Speaker 2: I think he actually believes that.
Speaker 11: I think it like a betal wolf he could take down. Yeah,
Speaker 11: like a real you know, like not not a big one,
Speaker 11: like a medium sized wolf. Maybe one that just ate,
Speaker 11: not like the alpha, not a hungry alpha.
Speaker 7: No, not a hungry alpha at all.
Speaker 11: But yeah, So we interacted a few times online and
Speaker 11: then he came out on part of my take.
Speaker 7: I started listening to his music and we start dming.
Speaker 11: Each other because I was like, you're this is like
Speaker 11: legitimately good music that you're making.
Speaker 7: It's crazy.
Speaker 11: And then our mutual friend Tommy Alter. I don't know
Speaker 11: if you know Tommy. If you don't know him, you
Speaker 11: probably will soon because he knows literally everyone in the world.
Speaker 7: He co hosts that the JJ Reddick old man in
Speaker 7: the three.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so he knows everybody in the world. He's a
Speaker 11: great friend of mine. I met him back in like
Speaker 11: twenty thirteen, like a long long time ago, so he
Speaker 11: he kind of reconnected us.
Speaker 7: We got Arian back on part of my take. Arian
Speaker 7: and I kept in touch after that.
Speaker 11: And then Tommy actually said like, I think you should
Speaker 11: do a podcast with Aaron.
Speaker 7: I think you guys would click together really well.
Speaker 11: So Arian was like, yeah, let's do it, and we
Speaker 11: just kind of started with an idea from there.
Speaker 7: And then Billy overheard.
Speaker 11: Me talking about the podcast and he goes, can I
Speaker 11: just be like, can I just be like you're Jamie
Speaker 11: on the Joe Rogan Show and just fact check. It's
Speaker 11: very funny because like Billy's initial role was to be
Speaker 11: a fact checker on the podcast. Now he's the number
Speaker 11: one source of us needing a fact checker on the
Speaker 11: podcast because he screws up his facts. But Bill, but
Speaker 11: Billy was never supposed to be like, well, I don't
Speaker 11: want to say supposed to be on the show. It
Speaker 11: was going to be like myself, Arian, Big Tea, and
Speaker 11: we were gonna just kind of and Coley was like
Speaker 11: going to get into the mix occasionally. And then you know,
Speaker 11: Billy found out about it.
Speaker 7: It was like, yo, I just I want to be
Speaker 7: on the show. It sounds awesome.
Speaker 11: And I was like, you know what, Billy would be
Speaker 11: a great addition to the show, and he has been.
Speaker 11: So it's kind of like it's evolved and it's grown
Speaker 11: after it came out. And the first time I saw
Speaker 11: the numbers, I was like, I didn't want to see.
Speaker 7: The numbers at first.
Speaker 1: Dude, there's a weird anxiety that was like I'm doing
Speaker 1: something different, Like let's see that. It's like a new
Speaker 1: It's like a new gut check moment, like you're back
Speaker 1: on step one. You're about to go back into step
Speaker 1: one when you have the comfort of probably all of
Speaker 1: the PMT stuff, like I can just do this and
Speaker 1: be good.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But then when you branch off and do something else, it's.
Speaker 11: Like, Okay, now I'm going to actually see yeah a reset. Yeah,
Speaker 11: like it's reset. It's a new thing.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 11: I was terrified to look at him. In fact, I
Speaker 11: didn't look at the numbers for like the first I
Speaker 11: want to say, three or four weeks. And then Mikey
Speaker 11: Fowler or old podcast dada guy. He pulled me, so
Speaker 11: he's like, dude, you know, macardosing is kind of a
Speaker 11: wagon right now. And I was like, okay, thank god,
Speaker 11: I'm not a total loser. It was a good moment,
Speaker 11: I was. It's more relief than it was excitement at
Speaker 11: the time. But yeah, it's been it's been fun. We
Speaker 11: just shoot, we shoot the shit about whatever topic is
Speaker 11: interesting to us that week and just kind of let
Speaker 11: it rip.
Speaker 2: What do you think the pool is to like, why
Speaker 2: it's been successful? Was there a fear of you?
Speaker 11: I think big T big T big T, he's a dude,
Speaker 11: He's he moves merch.
Speaker 7: Big T is a uh he's an interesting individual.
Speaker 11: He's so uniquely himself and sometimes people don't like him
Speaker 11: at first, but as he says, like if you if
Speaker 11: you let me stick around for long enough, you're gonna
Speaker 11: end up loving me. Yes, he's he's very consistent and
Speaker 11: he is who he is, and even if you don't
Speaker 11: like him at first, it's like, yeah, after a.
Speaker 7: While, you have to.
Speaker 11: You have to appreciate the commitment to himself that he has,
Speaker 11: you know, which is cool.
Speaker 2: Were you uh, was were you nervous? Kind of.
Speaker 1: Being somebody being more yourself on like macrodosing, because it
Speaker 1: seems like you're more like in your element of talking
Speaker 1: about that stuff versus like part of my take, not
Speaker 1: that you're not a stud at it and also in
Speaker 1: your element, but it's like a it's like part of
Speaker 1: my take, and the PFT commenter seems more of like
Speaker 1: the character at times versus macrodosing seems.
Speaker 2: More like you're you're like what you're actually interested in.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so like part of my take, it's just about
Speaker 11: like fucking around in sports, right, and you got it's
Speaker 11: a very fast paced show, so he have to be
Speaker 11: like firing on all cylinders all the time. And then
Speaker 11: on on macrodosing, it's more just like a relaxed conversation.
Speaker 7: So yeah, you're right.
Speaker 11: I get to like, you know, take the shades off
Speaker 11: and just be me for a long time and extended
Speaker 11: period of time.
Speaker 7: So it's it's good to be able to talk, I guess,
Speaker 7: at a.
Speaker 11: Longer format and just be able to get like all
Speaker 11: my thoughts out there as opposed to just like go
Speaker 11: go go go go. Like I love part of my take.
Speaker 11: It's the best time that I have. It's still like
Speaker 11: every time I sit down and do the show. I
Speaker 11: end up laughing my ass off, and.
Speaker 7: Like after it's over, I feel like amped up.
Speaker 11: You know, I can't sleep after a part of my take,
Speaker 11: especially when on Sunday, because I still love doing the
Speaker 11: show that much. But with Macrodosing, it's more just like
Speaker 11: a free form thing. It's kind of refreshing to be
Speaker 11: able to just like, you know, just sitting down and
Speaker 11: just having a long, open ended conversation sometimes with your friends.
Speaker 1: So and you're kind of like learning along the way
Speaker 1: and you kind of just get to it's like you're
Speaker 1: like hanging hanging out. Yeah, you just get to talk
Speaker 1: about opinions and kind of like I guess, break them
Speaker 1: down and go whichever way you want to, whichever direction
Speaker 1: you want to go.
Speaker 7: Yeah, at least, what was your favorite episode?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: What was your favorite episode of what macrodos?
Speaker 7: The question Billy, Oh, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't listen to Macrodosing throughout.
Speaker 11: I respect that because a lot of people would be like,
Speaker 11: like I like them all, or they listen to last
Speaker 11: one that we just did. And people do that sometimes
Speaker 11: when they come on Bust and they like listen to
Speaker 11: the very last episode and they start like talking to
Speaker 11: you guys like they listen to the show all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they try to bring up the one segment
Speaker 2: that we'll do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard you guys talk about like tear talk,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm excited to kind of talk about that,
Speaker 1: and you kind of just know, okay, you just throw
Speaker 1: on the most recent episode. Yeah, because somebody's like, man,
Speaker 1: I really loved this episode, and then I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: did you listen to Like I either refer to the
Speaker 1: week after the week before that one and see if
Speaker 1: they actually listen to the episode. But some people come
Speaker 1: on just say, hey, I'm more of a I'm more
Speaker 1: of a Tier three, Like I just watch your guys's
Speaker 1: clips on the internet, but I love your guys' stuff.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And when you're doing podcasts, you don't have that
Speaker 11: much time to listen to other people's podcasts sometimes.
Speaker 1: For sure, Like you you start to see this people
Speaker 1: have like a library what they go through through other
Speaker 1: week out thereybody who's committed to podcasting where they kind
Speaker 1: of have like on Mondays, I'm gonna listen to a
Speaker 1: part and I think that comes out fresh. They have
Speaker 1: like all week long of how they like roll it
Speaker 1: out because people will get like frustrated times. He you
Speaker 1: should drop it here because this throws off my routine
Speaker 1: of listening to this podcast on Thursday.
Speaker 11: Yes, the schedule people have, Yeah, and people are like
Speaker 11: super organized about how they listen to podcasts that could
Speaker 11: never be me. Ever, It's like I just sit down
Speaker 11: and if it's on my phone at like at any
Speaker 11: given time, I'll.
Speaker 7: Just like pop it on for thirty seconds. Then I'm
Speaker 7: out again. Like I don't.
Speaker 11: I don't listen to the only podcast I listened to
Speaker 11: on a regular basis. Busting uh is Busting with the Boys.
Speaker 11: Number one, I'm a big I'm a bus boy. And
Speaker 11: then the second do you guys have like a name.
Speaker 7: For your your listeners?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, tier ones here one one, two, SERI we
Speaker 1: like divider, We separate everybody.
Speaker 2: You kind of know where you stand.
Speaker 11: I like bus boy, though I might be just the
Speaker 11: only bus boy. I'm a bus boy, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Start a different cult and then it's gonna be like
Speaker 1: we're gonna run with them, be like here you guys
Speaker 1: go stealing other ideas from PfP and big.
Speaker 7: There there you go.
Speaker 11: Honestly, like the reason why we're trying to get you
Speaker 11: a tryout so hard in a workout, and you've seen us.
Speaker 7: We're active in the text threads, right, Yeah, like we're
Speaker 7: pushing for Will Comps. The NFL is a better league
Speaker 7: when Will Compton's playing it. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And I was saying names and stuff. I
Speaker 2: don't I feel like you guys.
Speaker 1: I think dropped the name because people will be in
Speaker 1: my comments and say, oh, Will's going here because they
Speaker 1: already said it on PMT. But I do want to ask, like,
Speaker 1: how wild later that night when I'm actually getting the
Speaker 1: call for the tryout, knowing that we're in that group
Speaker 1: chat just fucking around, especially the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, I mean the reason why is because we
Speaker 11: want not only is the NFL better with Will Compton,
Speaker 11: but like we got to get you off the podcast
Speaker 11: treats like we're at part of my take. We feel
Speaker 11: the heat from the boys, and so we're like, we
Speaker 11: got anything to get him away from a microphone for
Speaker 11: a while. It's good for our numbers, so it's in
Speaker 11: our best interest.
Speaker 2: Oh so you guys, So you.
Speaker 1: Guys see you busting in your review a little bit.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of times we passed you out there.
Speaker 11: You're on the boat. Okay, that's all right. How did
Speaker 11: let's have the conference there? We can have the conversation.
Speaker 1: Let's have how did it feel when busting with the
Speaker 1: boys or passed part of my take as the number
Speaker 1: one sport podcast for I believe a few hours.
Speaker 7: It was inevitable.
Speaker 11: It was quite frankly, we knew it was gonna happen,
Speaker 11: and it was just a matter of when, not whether
Speaker 11: it would. But the way that the iTunes listenings are
Speaker 11: all set up, like Spotify as well, you know you
Speaker 11: know that they like whenever somebody has a new podcast,
Speaker 11: right and they get a bunch of subscribers all at once,
Speaker 11: they're always like number one. They always tweet out like
Speaker 11: a screen shot with the number one podcast America. Yeah,
Speaker 11: it's like do it for do it for six years?
Speaker 11: Do it for six years.
Speaker 1: You know, we were at We've been at it for
Speaker 1: three So the fact that we got to number one.
Speaker 7: It was good. I was happy for you guys. Honestly
Speaker 7: we needed it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, Like at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, like I think we all understand the
Speaker 1: game that happens and you got to take advantage of
Speaker 1: those most like, did you guys not did you guys
Speaker 1: have a thing where you were number one the first
Speaker 1: time you were ever number one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just like, oh, we're number one. We gotta
Speaker 2: we gotta live.
Speaker 1: In this moment for a second because we're number one. Yeah, now,
Speaker 1: you guys like, you guys are the best sports podcast.
Speaker 1: Like you can look at the algorithms on how other
Speaker 1: sports pause are like number one on the charts, but
Speaker 1: if you go by the episodes, if you click on
Speaker 1: top episodes that you guys, like all three of your
Speaker 1: episodes are always living in the top ten, like every week.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's been. It's been cool to see.
Speaker 11: Like at first when we were up there, it was
Speaker 11: it was almost like surreal.
Speaker 7: But shout out to ESPN for.
Speaker 11: Helping us out right off the bat because they they
Speaker 11: sent us that cease and desist letter telling us to
Speaker 11: change the name of our podcast like week one that
Speaker 11: we started doing it because it's part in my take
Speaker 11: and so it's part in the interruption and first take combined.
Speaker 2: I mean the creative genie.
Speaker 11: Well, I didn't even know that's why we called it that,
Speaker 11: honestly until ESPN sent us that letter. Then I looked
Speaker 11: at the logo and our logo was just straight up
Speaker 11: like we lifted that font. We just copied and pasted
Speaker 11: the pardon and from the take and smashed them together.
Speaker 7: And so they told us cease and assist.
Speaker 11: And that was the best thing that could have happened
Speaker 11: to us, because then I got to like, I wrote
Speaker 11: them a letter back. I wrote them my own seasoned
Speaker 11: desist letter, being like you need to cease and desist
Speaker 11: sending us cease and desist letters like step off. And
Speaker 11: then we started talking about that and the whole like
Speaker 11: back and forth. Like I remember, Big Kat, I think
Speaker 11: went on the next show and was like, fuck ESPN,
Speaker 11: they don't want you to listen to this podcast. And
Speaker 11: so it turned into a war back and forth between
Speaker 11: our show and ESPN.
Speaker 7: And that's good rating.
Speaker 2: Great for you guys.
Speaker 11: They fucked up by giving us all that, all that
Speaker 11: material to work with, so now we're the bad boys
Speaker 11: of podcast and getting getting legal action threatened against us.
Speaker 11: So that was that was the best thing that could
Speaker 11: have happened to the show, honestly, So it gave us
Speaker 11: good buzz right off the bat.
Speaker 2: So you guys aren't as original of you guys always
Speaker 2: claimed to be.
Speaker 7: We were, Dude, everyone's stealing from somebody else.
Speaker 1: I know, bro, there's no like I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of people share this thought, but there's like there's
Speaker 1: no originality really anywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I've I've listened to your show.
Speaker 3: I guess I'm.
Speaker 11: Really trying to like, you know, I love I love
Speaker 11: I love you. Will you know that like going back
Speaker 11: to your days when you were on Washington R word
Speaker 11: like I respected your game.
Speaker 2: We interrupt this episode once again because we got to
Speaker 2: pay the bills. Light Box Jewelry no free shoutouts to

Speaker 2: Did you respect my game?
Speaker 7: Nate?
Speaker 2: Nate tries to talk to me now like we're boys,
Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure Nate used to talk shit on me.
Speaker 7: No, I will I guarantee you he did.
Speaker 11: Nate talks shit on everybody, Yeah, everyone, that's kind of
Speaker 11: his thing.
Speaker 1: There's like this I and anytime I see him. I'm
Speaker 1: like trying to bridge that because that's my own that's
Speaker 1: my own internal therapy that I need to have with
Speaker 1: myself that I can't hold my guard up against somebody
Speaker 1: that I know talked a little shit at once upon
Speaker 1: a time, because there's always like that hit list of like,
Speaker 1: oh I remember you used to talk shit on me.
Speaker 1: It's hard to like remove yourself from the identity of
Speaker 1: being a football player. But yeah, I'll see Nate. Are
Speaker 1: we trying to get you back on the other the
Speaker 1: Commanders Year ten? And I'm like, no, note not for you, motherfucker.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well do it for me then, Like I did.
Speaker 11: I did appreciate your game back in the day because
Speaker 11: you were you were a captain, you were a defensive
Speaker 11: captain after being were you undrafted.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's great. He knew that. I did. I think
Speaker 2: he knew that. I appreciate you giving me the opportunity.
Speaker 11: To that's wild, that's crazy, like that doesn't happen. So
Speaker 11: I yeah, I always respected your game. I I hated
Speaker 11: having to cheer for Kirk Cousins. I absolutely hated it.
Speaker 7: Why dude, you you know you know exactly what do
Speaker 7: you do you think that Kirk Cousins is a fun
Speaker 7: quarterback to root for.
Speaker 2: What do you mean by fun quarterback? Like?
Speaker 7: What's fun about cheering for Kirk?
Speaker 2: He's gonna pull I pulled for the boy Kirk.
Speaker 7: You pulled for him?
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely.
Speaker 11: I just got so frustrated watching him because he would
Speaker 11: he would show glimpses of being great, but then he
Speaker 11: was always like so safe, and it was it was
Speaker 11: crazy how much he was like he had he had
Speaker 11: the R words in a prediction where they had to,
Speaker 11: you know, choose a whole franchise tag thing on him,
Speaker 11: and we mishandled that for sure.
Speaker 7: But he's just he's so frustrating to watch. I think.
Speaker 2: But right, you said it. You said it.
Speaker 1: He had the R words and such a predicament, but
Speaker 1: the R words had him in a predicament as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like they would always tag him. Like I remember
Speaker 2: we were golfing and uh, he was talking about the
Speaker 2: he was talking about potentially holding out, but it was
Speaker 2: never a thought on his mind.
Speaker 1: He say, I don't want to because obviously, like I'm
Speaker 1: trying to like help be a leader, and like you
Speaker 1: don't want your quarterback not being a camp because you're
Speaker 1: trying to hold out on something, but he basically knew
Speaker 1: he was already franchise tag. They talked about franchise tagging
Speaker 1: in the next year. Let's just say for this example,
Speaker 1: it was like around twenty five million a year, right,
Speaker 1: But the r words Bruce basically the way that they
Speaker 1: would negotiate to say, hey, we'll give you seventy five
Speaker 1: million dollars for three years and we'll give you fifty guaranteed.
Speaker 1: And Kirk's like, why would I do that? I know
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make fifty guaranteed based on the franchise tag,
Speaker 1: Like that's a dumb move, Like that's not smart for me.
Speaker 1: Now there are like theories out there, like and I
Speaker 1: don't know personally to where he would kind of play
Speaker 1: more safe ball because you got to protect your numbers
Speaker 1: because essentially you're gonna go to the market.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, like you're you're stuck.
Speaker 1: You're stuck in the middle of the fans and then
Speaker 1: the boys and then playing your game because you got
Speaker 1: to be selfish. But it's like the most selfless game
Speaker 1: to play, and you're always like in the middle of that,
Speaker 1: and it's like also has off for kind of like
Speaker 1: being in Sam Bradford, like Kirk, somebody who gets fully
Speaker 1: guaranteed contracts.
Speaker 2: All the time. Yeah, the ball's always in his court
Speaker 2: and he bets on himself.
Speaker 1: So I root for that because I know my man
Speaker 1: puts in an insane amount of work at corny as
Speaker 1: he can be at times like and like you play
Speaker 1: it safe, you see glances of greatness like the man
Speaker 1: like he gets after. I see the work that he
Speaker 1: puts in, so and I know kind of like the
Speaker 1: predicament he gets put in with whether it's all the
Speaker 1: contracting and he's not somebody who always talks publicly like
Speaker 1: he keeps everything close to the vest where everybody else
Speaker 1: can kind of control the narrative and can control kind
Speaker 1: of what's said about him, and he could. He's just
Speaker 1: got to take it to the chin. So that's why
Speaker 1: I pull for him.
Speaker 11: Okay, that makes complete sense, And I think I'm talking.
Speaker 11: I'm coming out just strictly from a fan rooting for
Speaker 11: a team point of view. As far as an individual,
Speaker 11: he seems like a very nice guy and a good guy.
Speaker 11: And from a business standpoint, he's done a great job,
Speaker 11: Like he is awesome at getting paid money to play
Speaker 11: football maybe the best ever you look at if you
Speaker 11: look at straight up talent to money, to being in
Speaker 11: the right place at the right time, betting on yourself
Speaker 11: in all the right circumstances. I think Kirk Cousins is
Speaker 11: the best money earner in the history of the NFL,
Speaker 11: I AI everything.
Speaker 7: So I don't begrudging for that.
Speaker 11: I'm talking about like strictly from a fan point of view,
Speaker 11: I feel like he's the worst type of quarterback to
Speaker 11: root for sometimes because he's so safe and he's also
Speaker 11: he's the guy that will get you to the playoffs
Speaker 11: and just be he'll be good enough to be like
Speaker 11: I think we could win a super Bowl if everything's
Speaker 11: perfect around Kirk, Like he's that guy that he's good
Speaker 11: enough to actually win you a super Bowl, and then
Speaker 11: it's just it's never gonna happen. And so that's frustrating
Speaker 11: from a fan standpoint, to be just that good, to
Speaker 11: not be great and not be bad, that's the worst
Speaker 11: place to be as a fan sometimes, Like I've accepted
Speaker 11: as a Washington commander that I'm going to never be
Speaker 11: happy truly with my football team ever.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of a good feeling.
Speaker 11: Like I'd almost rather be in that place than to
Speaker 11: have all this false hope and then just get it
Speaker 11: snatched away from a year after year after year, like
Speaker 11: Charlie Brown kicking the football.
Speaker 7: Like I'm a loser.
Speaker 11: I'm a big loser and I'm never going to be
Speaker 11: a winner and I'm fine with that, and and it's
Speaker 11: very comforting, like being at peace with that.
Speaker 1: It's easy to it's easier to just play that route
Speaker 1: knowing you're going to be disappointed.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So there's no expectation to get hurt.
Speaker 7: Zero expectations.
Speaker 11: Like I go into NFL Sunday, I'm like, I just
Speaker 11: hope we don't get embarrassed today.
Speaker 7: That'd be cool.
Speaker 11: Okay, we lost to the Lions, but pretty decent second
Speaker 11: half though, That's fine. Like I don't get as emotionally
Speaker 11: involved as I used to in the team.
Speaker 7: And part of that is the way that it's been
Speaker 7: managed for a while.
Speaker 11: You got to see a little bit of that up close,
Speaker 11: and what like a dysfunctional organization it can be sometimes.
Speaker 7: Uh. And then part of it is just you know,
Speaker 7: I'm numb from all the losing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it feels good for me because
Speaker 1: I could freely kind of talk about it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. People are like, hey, with the Commanders
Speaker 1: bringing back, it's like, I mean, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: know I've said stuff, so I would be surprised if
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm back there.
Speaker 11: It's funny because like that's one team that you know,
Speaker 11: people that used to play for different organizations in the NFL,
Speaker 11: they usually like you, they talk respectfully about them, and
Speaker 11: they say what a great time they had, and like
Speaker 11: nothing but class from this guy, this guy, this guy.
Speaker 11: And then when it's about the Commanders, people just be like, yeah,
Speaker 11: that's that's a weird place to play football, bro.
Speaker 1: And I actually I have a hard time with it
Speaker 1: because I was there for five years, longer than any
Speaker 1: team I've played on where I feel like I'm more
Speaker 1: part of the I'm more part of Raider Nation and
Speaker 1: Titans Titans fan base and stuff like that because I
Speaker 1: was there for five years. That's where I got my
Speaker 1: That's where I got all my opportunities, captain I got.
Speaker 2: I love that locker room.
Speaker 1: Like I enjoyed that locker room the most because that
Speaker 1: was the time where I felt most invested in football
Speaker 1: to where how are we gonna get better? This next
Speaker 1: year because we have some pieces in place so where
Speaker 1: we can make some noise type of thing. And then
Speaker 1: it sucks because from the organizational standpoint, it's just such
Speaker 1: a mess. I mean everybody, you talk about it all
Speaker 1: the time, like everybody sees it.
Speaker 2: So it's hard to like, I don't know, it's hard.
Speaker 1: To like playboth things because I would love to just
Speaker 1: fully claim them because that's where I got my start
Speaker 1: in football.
Speaker 11: Yeah, honest, and I mean disrespectfully, even though it's gonna
Speaker 11: sound disrespectful. Psychologies and invests when you got named team captain,
Speaker 11: where you like, what really really like me?
Speaker 7: You guys vote for me?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I remember when Jay Gruden came in and interrupted our
Speaker 1: linebacker meeting.
Speaker 2: It was like, hey, will can I see you for
Speaker 2: a second.
Speaker 1: And then like I was walking down the hall and
Speaker 1: I saw Tran, Williams, D'Angel hall, Niles, Paul, and Kirk
Speaker 1: and we all go into his office and he kind
Speaker 1: of tells us how we're gonna be captains. I remember
Speaker 1: sitting there being like, Yo, this is the coolest fucking yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the coolest like accolade, whatever you.
Speaker 2: Want to call. This is the coolest moment in my
Speaker 2: football career.
Speaker 1: And it still is like being like voted a captain,
Speaker 1: like buy your teammates and stuff like that, Like especially
Speaker 1: like being an undrafted guy, Like there's times I look
Speaker 1: back on them like I wish would have spoke.
Speaker 2: Up and said, somewhere did a little.
Speaker 1: I would have played more into that role, because there's
Speaker 1: so much like when you're undrafted and you're like starting
Speaker 1: and you're doing all this, there's a part of you
Speaker 1: that whether you take somebody's job, like when I overtook
Speaker 1: Keenan's job, where he was like a he was like
Speaker 1: a stud, right, and everybody like rooted for the guys
Speaker 1: who get drafted because they're all more in the team
Speaker 1: than like the undrafted guy who kind of makes his
Speaker 1: way in. There's a part of you that doesn't really
Speaker 1: feel like you deserve to be there, and then like
Speaker 1: when you are, it's just like I don't know, it
Speaker 1: was a weird dynamic, but it was the coolest moment
Speaker 1: in my life. Like it's something that I wish I
Speaker 1: would have took more advantage of, like with like those guys,
Speaker 1: because those were the times where I felt like most
Speaker 1: optimistic about like winning games and.
Speaker 2: Like actually feeling like I had influence on a team.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you guys, you made the playoffs, right.
Speaker 1: Just one second, there you go, my uh my firstborn
Speaker 1: she's she's getting a little fussy back there. I don't
Speaker 1: know if the MIC's are picking it up, but I
Speaker 1: need my wife to go ahead and take her on
Speaker 1: a walk.
Speaker 7: You're in big time mode.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you went like head over heels into that life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I have, but yeah, that was the whole
Speaker 1: captain thing was like, it's it's been the best moment
Speaker 1: of my career.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's very cool.
Speaker 11: I have to imagine like knowing that your teammates voted
Speaker 11: for you too, like, wow, this is not something I
Speaker 11: ever expected. And that was The defense was pretty good,
Speaker 11: Like we had a we were all right. We had
Speaker 11: a good team though, Like I like that team. That's
Speaker 11: I think when I first started to realize that Kirk
Speaker 11: was that that guy that was good and maybe not
Speaker 11: the guy that would I'm never going to see a
Speaker 11: super Bowl out of Kirk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I want to ask you, like, what was
Speaker 1: the last time you've actually gotten optimistic and felt like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna emotionally invest in this season with the with
Speaker 1: the whether.
Speaker 2: It's the R words, the the F, the ft or
Speaker 2: the c's. Yeah.
Speaker 11: Probably last week in the third quarter and Carson wentz
Speaker 11: through a touchdown pass, I was like, this is the guy.
Speaker 11: Like I know, I say, like, I don't care about
Speaker 11: the team anymore. I'm not invested. Yeah, when they play well,
Speaker 11: it's hard not to get like a little bit excited
Speaker 11: about it. But in terms of like actual aspirations for
Speaker 11: the team and like thinking that, damn, we're gonna be good.
Speaker 7: It might have been your.
Speaker 2: Team after the you like that you're going into the
Speaker 2: next year.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it might have been your It might have been
Speaker 11: your team before that. RGIE three's rookie year. RGIE three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is.
Speaker 11: Gonna sound cool. ARG three changed my life straight up.
Speaker 11: He changed my life. He made me love football again. Really,
Speaker 11: I had started doing the thing where I like, I
Speaker 11: check out and stopped paying as much attention to UH,
Speaker 11: to the Washington our words and UH. I was just
Speaker 11: thinking to myself, like, Okay, this team is never gonna
Speaker 11: be good, it's never gonna be fun. I hate Dan Snyder,
Speaker 11: you know the whole thing. I was like, I'm done,
Speaker 11: I'm done. I can't support this guy. The draft ARG
Speaker 11: three and I was like, this dude, this dude can
Speaker 11: fucking ball. This guy plays football in a way that
Speaker 11: like makes me like a little rush of blood to
Speaker 11: the head, you know. And I went to go see
Speaker 11: his first game in New Orleans at the Superdome and
Speaker 11: he just lit it on fire, playing football in a
Speaker 11: way that you had never seen in the NFL, at
Speaker 11: least since like Michael Vick. But it looked like he
Speaker 11: was a better passer than Mike Vick was when he
Speaker 11: first got to the NFL, and I was like, this
Speaker 11: guy's gonna win me multiple super Bowls.
Speaker 7: At halftime of that game, I.
Speaker 11: Was like, it was so cool because he's got some
Speaker 11: ties to the city of New Orleans, so they like
Speaker 11: him down there.
Speaker 7: And I was walking through the.
Speaker 11: Concourse of the Superdome and people were like coming up
Speaker 11: to me, Saints fans. I was wearing my Brandon Lloyd
Speaker 11: authentic Washington Redskins jersey, which I think I'm the only
Speaker 11: person in the history of the world to buy Brandon Lloyd.
Speaker 11: We got left to check that. I don't think that
Speaker 11: has ever been sold. They sold one and it was
Speaker 11: to me, and there were people in full Saints skier
Speaker 11: coming up to me being like, you got a quarterback
Speaker 11: and like hugging me and high fiving me and shit,
Speaker 11: and I felt like I was on top of the world.
Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, I did that, Yeah, my team
Speaker 7: did that.
Speaker 11: And so he made me love football again. That's when
Speaker 11: I started to write about football again. Was that year
Speaker 11: twenty twelve, and it got me back into sport. I
Speaker 11: started the Twitter account, I started blogging about it and shit,
Speaker 11: and it was because RG.
Speaker 7: Three made me love foot again.
Speaker 11: And then halfway through that season hurts his MCL. Then
Speaker 11: Kirk comes in against the Browns. Then it's always from
Speaker 11: that point on, it was like a back and forth.
Speaker 7: Are you an RG three guy or a Kirk guy?
Speaker 11: But that really set me that season, at least that
Speaker 11: first like eight game stretch.
Speaker 7: I thought I was gonna be.
Speaker 11: Like we got our Tom Brady, Like I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 11: gonna be Hank, I'm gonna be the kid at the
Speaker 11: parade with like a sigh and being like, yeah, thirty
Speaker 11: seven years old, seven rings in your face, everybody, you
Speaker 11: know that didn't.
Speaker 2: Happen seven years old. Waiting on an RG three auto.
Speaker 7: I'm still waiting on an RG three interview.
Speaker 2: He keeps he's such a tease. Well, has he not
Speaker 2: been on a part of my take?
Speaker 11: No, he keeps We DM each other all the time,
Speaker 11: and he like deems the main account too. And I'm like,
Speaker 11: when we're gonna get you on the show, and he
Speaker 11: tells me when he's gonna be in town and then
Speaker 11: he ghosts me.
Speaker 7: I get constantly ghosted by RG. Three.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's not a good look.
Speaker 7: If not, No, it's because there's like rumors too.
Speaker 2: Of like Shanahan was more of a cousin's guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fans were an RG guy and there was that
Speaker 1: back and board because I wasn't there the year.
Speaker 2: That he was like his rookie year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, came in like when he was going through when
Speaker 1: he was coming off of the ACL and they would
Speaker 1: like go back and forth in games like Kirk would
Speaker 1: like light it up and RG. They wanted him to
Speaker 1: be the guy he was the year before so badly
Speaker 1: like make some magic shake.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he kind of fucked up and and he screwed
Speaker 7: himself over because he did the like all in for
Speaker 7: Week one thing.
Speaker 11: It sounds like it's the most Russell Wilson thing ever
Speaker 11: that wasn't done by Russell Wilson, like the day after
Speaker 11: he tore his ACL, or very soon thereafter, he signed
Speaker 11: like an endorsement or started an ad campaign with Gatorade,
Speaker 11: being like, all in for week one, I'm gonna chronicle
Speaker 11: my return for my ACL.
Speaker 7: And then he was.
Speaker 2: Getting hurt in the playoffs, so it's already January, so.
Speaker 11: He's like he's telling everyone, I'm going to be playing
Speaker 11: week one. There's no way that you can know that
Speaker 11: when you get surgery, Like, this is a thing called
Speaker 11: a rehab process that you have to go through. And
Speaker 11: just because you say it and it's branded and you're
Speaker 11: doing like pull ups in a Gatorade commercial, that doesn't
Speaker 11: mean you can play.
Speaker 7: Football on it, no doubt.
Speaker 11: So he came back week one and he was very
Speaker 11: obviously not ready for it because of his but he
Speaker 11: had to do it because he told every one he
Speaker 11: was getting paid to be back by Gatorade, so he
Speaker 11: had to come back.
Speaker 7: Then.
Speaker 11: Yeah, then there was the whole Kirk Robert thing, back
Speaker 11: and forth, back and forth. And then that that coaching
Speaker 11: staff so out of the out of the young hotshot
Speaker 11: guys that are now head coaches. I love it when
Speaker 11: they put up that graphic on like Fox. It's like
Speaker 11: Kyle Shanahan was on that team, Sean McVay, floor Will Compton,
Speaker 11: Kevin O'Connell, like, all these guys are, Mike McDaniel, they
Speaker 11: were all in and around. I just why can't we
Speaker 11: just get one of those guys, you know, I know,
Speaker 11: any one of those guys.
Speaker 1: I know they couldn't climb the like you know that
Speaker 1: was that was Gruden's gig. And then they go from
Speaker 1: position coach, they get a coordinator job elsewhere when somebody
Speaker 1: when the coordinator leaves, and then they want to bring
Speaker 1: the position coach with him.
Speaker 11: It's not really you can blame the Washington organization for
Speaker 11: a lot of stuff. That one is not that fair
Speaker 11: to do. Because Jay Gruden was a coach and they
Speaker 11: had to They couldn't keep Kyle Shanahan around after.
Speaker 7: They fired his dad, right, that would be awkward.
Speaker 11: Yeah, right, So they had to fire him and Kyle
Speaker 11: had his guys that he brought with him. We couldn't
Speaker 11: keep McVeigh around because he got hired.
Speaker 1: Rick Shannan could have chows out of him, and he
Speaker 1: ended up taking Lafleur.
Speaker 11: Right, Yeah, Lafleur and m and McDaniel Yeah, So I
Speaker 11: guess firing Mike Shanahan was the worst.
Speaker 7: That was the worst move of all of.
Speaker 11: Them, even though like at the time everybody was like, yes,
Speaker 11: please fire Mike Shanahan because he he very clearly hated
Speaker 11: coaching that team and hated the ownership, like he was
Speaker 11: not going to stick around that relationship was it was toast.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So I guess if RG three doesn't do.
Speaker 11: The gatorade ad campaign all in for week one and
Speaker 11: he takes his time rehabilitating himself, then he becomes RG
Speaker 11: three again. Mike Shanahan signs contract extension, retires, hands team
Speaker 11: to Kyle, who then has all of his guys like
Speaker 11: as his coordinator.
Speaker 1: Probably a couple years, a year or two, but mcvay's
Speaker 1: going to do his thing, like out of that whole bunch, Like,
Speaker 1: you gotta say, McVeigh has been the more successful one
Speaker 1: because he got Super Bowl.
Speaker 7: Yeah when he was around.
Speaker 11: You were around McVeigh, right, Yeah, Were you like this
Speaker 11: this guy is different or were you like this guy's annoying?
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, everybody knew that that that crew was different.
Speaker 1: I mean they were like these young guns that we all,
Speaker 1: I mean, only they can answer that but we all
Speaker 1: thought they were just hyped up on that or all
Speaker 1: day long because they they'd be saying up all night,
Speaker 1: like excited about all the play designs that they have.
Speaker 1: You see him, They always had the most energy every
Speaker 1: morning early in the morning trying to like figure it
Speaker 1: out there. They were always excited about everything. Yeah, always
Speaker 1: like two excited. But they're like young guns in the
Speaker 1: in the game. Yes, like under Shanahan. Then some you
Speaker 1: know went with Kyle the others are working with Green
Speaker 1: was like a big wigg see that was coming from Cincinnati. Uh,
Speaker 1: but yeah, those dudes were always like all juiced up,
Speaker 1: always thinking ball a the time. I gotta be on
Speaker 1: scout team and mcvavid mcvaviid companies. He's like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you how we want you to read this,
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure he'll shake you up anyway because it's
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid, but we need you to like fall for
Speaker 1: this play on Jordan Reid.
Speaker 2: Jordan Reed was just toast me every day practice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but hey, we want to see how you play this one.
Speaker 2: And then of course I get fucking shook or something.
Speaker 1: I can't cover him, and they're like good, good, I
Speaker 1: think this will work for the game.
Speaker 11: That's that's interesting. So was it who is it to
Speaker 11: give confidence too? Was he to give confidence to Jordan
Speaker 11: or was this giving I.
Speaker 2: Get to give confidence to me at all?
Speaker 1: Like if anything, I'm just imprinting on my brain that
Speaker 1: I can't cover people.
Speaker 11: Yes, So are they telling you, like get a little
Speaker 11: bit shook on purpose?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll say play he play this like they'll play say, hey,
Speaker 2: play inside of three, but get a little head up
Speaker 2: on them because they want their guy to make the
Speaker 2: read day. If they get head up, you got leverage
Speaker 2: on them to go inside.
Speaker 7: So it's like telling them, hey, you can do this
Speaker 7: when this happens.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and then coach catch home with some swag and
Speaker 11: I'm like, god, damn it, will you fucking suck?
Speaker 7: What are you doing on this cover?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 2: They won't really great.
Speaker 1: They won't judge you on a practice squad film outside
Speaker 1: of like effort, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So you would never get that. Now.
Speaker 1: My linebacker coach at the time, who doesn't know what's
Speaker 1: going on, like, what are you doing? Take away the inside?
Speaker 1: Like we go over this all the time, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: they want me to get beat inside.
Speaker 2: But Jordan. That's another one. Just stud but just couldn't
Speaker 2: stay on the field.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was That was tough. And at the end
Speaker 7: of his career, I was like, dude, please don't come back.
Speaker 7: Don't like I'm.
Speaker 11: Worried about you. Like he keep healthy. I'm scared that
Speaker 11: you're going to get another concussion when you come back
Speaker 11: out there.
Speaker 7: He was. He was incredible though when he was playing.
Speaker 2: Bro he was such a study. Those years were good.
Speaker 1: This is basically turned into like a deep dive on
Speaker 1: the Washington Our words.
Speaker 2: Yeah, David, this is a good conversation.
Speaker 11: You're like the only person that I can commiserate about
Speaker 11: this team with because, like I bring up bring it
Speaker 11: up to Nate, and Nate just starts foaming at the
Speaker 11: mouth and just won't let me talk.
Speaker 7: Because he's just so angry about everything with that team.
Speaker 11: I find little bits of joy here and there and
Speaker 11: little things that I like to remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had.
Speaker 1: Our shot in sixteen, and we underperformed that year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because that was when the winning in game against New York.
Speaker 1: They were already out of it. The whole wide receiver
Speaker 1: corps is down in Miami on a boat that week,
Speaker 1: and we still end up losing to them when we
Speaker 1: knew every play that they're running Eli. If you look back,
Speaker 1: Eli literally is doing all of his audibles at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And if it was the mask, if
Speaker 1: he was saying a mascot's name, it was a run.
Speaker 2: If he's saying the city, it's like a pass.
Speaker 1: And literally he's saying this at the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: and we still lost the game, Like we still are.
Speaker 2: Like we still couldn't stop what was happening.
Speaker 1: And afterwards he's like, he's like, hey, h hey, will
Speaker 1: if are you able to predict all this stuff that's
Speaker 1: going on, Like can you understand everything that's being said?
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, if you guys gonna beat the
Speaker 1: Cowboys next week, Like Sean Lee will pick.
Speaker 2: Up on that in a heartbeat.
Speaker 1: But we still lost that game, Like we very much
Speaker 1: underperformed that year in sixteen.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so you're ten loading, physically, feeling good as good.
Speaker 2: As I can, which is always pretty good.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Really, you know what I mean? It sounds real good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like, can I give you just a little bit
Speaker 7: of coaching?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love to. I'm open all feedbacks.
Speaker 7: Just say I'm in the best shape of my life,
Speaker 7: like it's not that hard.
Speaker 1: Well, just but I think that's the mistake that happens.
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to be one of those guys
Speaker 1: who's always like going into training camp and saying that
Speaker 1: it's like this is the best I've ever felt on
Speaker 1: my body, because if you fuck up so stupid, like
Speaker 1: I hate guy say that, and if.
Speaker 7: You fuck up, they're like, this is the best he's
Speaker 7: gonna look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'd rather just be honest because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, like you're like, if everyone's been
Speaker 1: following me, I can't just sit there and post diet
Speaker 1: starts tomorrow and just all this stuff and hey, I'm
Speaker 1: in the greatest shape of my life, Like can I cover.
Speaker 2: Punts and and be an asset?
Speaker 7: Absolutely, it's the bod looking, that's the dad bod looking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like just like that, Like what you said, is.
Speaker 7: It better than it was in that picture that I
Speaker 7: always repost.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Like I've been getting after it the last couple
Speaker 1: of days, you know what I mean, Like we're trying,
Speaker 1: we're trying to get this thing alive.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I like that. I appreciate that. Just say like, uh,
Speaker 7: I'm I'm in decent shape.
Speaker 11: But I can play my way back into shape if
Speaker 11: you really need me.
Speaker 1: Exactly, over the last three years, I've proved that I
Speaker 1: can finesse training camp and come in at the drop
Speaker 1: of a hat and play if need be.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're like Brett Favre. Yeah, minus the welfare fraud.
Speaker 7: Probably don't.
Speaker 11: I don't know what you've done. I do not endorse
Speaker 11: what Will Compident has done with any welfare.
Speaker 2: Stealing from the poor. Okay, that's good. Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 11: I think on part of my take the other day,
Speaker 11: Hank said something about like stealing from the poor, and
Speaker 11: I was like, wait, that's like Robin Hood right.
Speaker 7: Oh wait, no, it's actually reverse. It's complete. He's a
Speaker 7: reverse Robin Hood.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, hey, sweetheart, you can take ruinal walk.
Speaker 11: Will does shift into dad mode. He like you hear
Speaker 11: the baby crying?
Speaker 2: You just do you hear it? Like as you're talking,
Speaker 2: do you hear like do you feel it's picking it up? Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's picking it up.
Speaker 11: Yeah, But like I can tell that you're like in
Speaker 11: tune with your with your child.
Speaker 7: Do you hear the sound You're like? Danger?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Danger?
Speaker 1: And also like you know, hey, we're trying to I'm
Speaker 1: trying to feed you, like you're really you're really hurting
Speaker 1: us here.
Speaker 7: Like taking food out of her mouth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's taking food out of her own mouth. Bryany, Billy,
Speaker 1: you were going to say something earlier. We never got
Speaker 1: to that.
Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Remember he was gonna speak up and say something.
Speaker 7: Yeah he was. I mean, that's happens.
Speaker 1: Like, how do you like describe Billy, because Billy's obviously
Speaker 1: grown in the in the barstel part of my take world,
Speaker 1: Like he's I feel like he's your guys's property.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's our dog. Billy's our dog.
Speaker 5: I mean I don't read free like a human one day,
Speaker 5: I mean I won't be in the back end interview
Speaker 5: one day, hopefully.
Speaker 7: I mean it in the best way possible.
Speaker 11: Billy is like, Billy's like a great dog that we
Speaker 11: have that occasionally misbehaves. But I was telling you earlier
Speaker 11: that it's like I look at myself. I blame myself
Speaker 11: when Billy misbehaves sometimes because it's because I haven't done
Speaker 11: a good enough job as a dog owner. So like
Speaker 11: I left it in its create for too long, it
Speaker 11: gets separation anxiety. It starts like chewing at the bars.
Speaker 11: It starts, you know, scratching itself until it gets a rash. Yeah,
Speaker 11: sort of thing. So I look at I blame myself first.
Speaker 11: And Big Cat and I have very different roles in
Speaker 11: terms of our parenting, our dog parenting. Where Big Cat
Speaker 11: is like he's he's the father, the strict father, like
Speaker 11: I know what's best for you, Just do what I say, yea.
Speaker 2: And I'm like the mother.
Speaker 11: I'm the artsy mom that like, you know, the Mortroy
Speaker 11: pajamas around the house and smells like Petulli And I'm
Speaker 11: always playing my weird records and dancing and trying to
Speaker 11: extract the creative side of Billy.
Speaker 7: And I'm like, look at her beautiful boy, Look look.
Speaker 2: What he drew. And you're trying to bridge the gap
Speaker 2: between father and son.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, look at look at what
Speaker 11: her son drew. Big Cat, isn't this beautiful.
Speaker 7: He's like, that's a fucked up house, Like the house
Speaker 7: doesn't have a door.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is he doing?
Speaker 11: And I'm like, I think it's a great I think
Speaker 11: he did a great job in terms of effort, you know.
Speaker 11: So we have different roles.
Speaker 7: I think they both bring different sides out of Billy.
Speaker 3: That wasn't patronizing at all.
Speaker 7: Complement of yeah, I love Billy, I do love Bill.
Speaker 11: I think that Macardosing has actually done a good job
Speaker 11: of letting Billy get out there.
Speaker 7: More and let Billy like cook long form you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, long game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, macro Dosing's been pretty awesome because there
Speaker 5: was basically a place where I could start putting more
Speaker 5: footwork and be able to contribute more than my role
Speaker 5: in part of my take where it's you know, you
Speaker 5: you're a bench player and you're just trying to get
Speaker 5: and make plays where you can. But Macardosing has been
Speaker 5: great because you know, I've been able to actually put
Speaker 5: in work.
Speaker 7: He's a starter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so it's it's fun. If you'd listened to
Speaker 5: an episode, you might know that.
Speaker 2: But so when part of my take started.
Speaker 1: Talk about that, because you came from the PFT comments
Speaker 1: or world, you're in part of my take, you guys
Speaker 1: blow up, like what's that cool?
Speaker 7: It was like being named team captain. That's what it
Speaker 7: was like for me.
Speaker 1: But it's gotta be like like just a huge I mean,
Speaker 1: I listened to your beyond the blog or behind the
Speaker 1: blog with KFC, and you go from like writing and
Speaker 1: like being hype about fifty grand to do like what
Speaker 1: you love to do, and now you're pft with part
Speaker 1: of my take. And you guys are like this massive brand.
Speaker 1: Like to be honest, like when I was getting introduced
Speaker 1: to bar so like I thought it for like when
Speaker 1: I was in college, I thought you guys were like
Speaker 1: the chid, Like you guys were like one of the same.
Speaker 2: And then also it would always throw me off, like
Speaker 2: PMT and PTI.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I thought these were these dudes
Speaker 1: like I always did the dude with sunglass.
Speaker 11: We got sued, Yeah, because it was it was confusing
Speaker 11: for people.
Speaker 1: But talk about like that transition and how that kind
Speaker 1: of blew up for you.
Speaker 2: I mean it was.
Speaker 7: It was cool.
Speaker 11: I was down in Austin and I didn't know whether
Speaker 11: or not I I could podcast or not.
Speaker 7: I'd done a few things.
Speaker 11: I did this thing It's Serious for like two episodes,
Speaker 11: and then they offered me serious offered me a bag
Speaker 11: to do my weekly show there called the Steamer Room.
Speaker 2: What kind of bag were talking?
Speaker 11: We're talking like I think it was seventy five bucks.
Speaker 11: A month something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he was gonna say something. No, they
Speaker 1: offered me a bag that Barcelol came in and competed.
Speaker 7: I remember when when I got the email.
Speaker 11: I got the email for seventy five bucks an episode
Speaker 11: when the vice president. I could probably look it up
Speaker 11: actually and see what the exact number was, but it
Speaker 11: was like it was a wildly disrespectful number that they
Speaker 11: that they tried to give me for it. And I
Speaker 11: was like, well, you can go fuck yourself, Like even
Speaker 11: I know that this is just insane.
Speaker 7: And so then Big Cat hit me up.
Speaker 11: He's like, yeah, we're getting this money from the Churning
Speaker 11: Group and they're gonna invest in Barstool and we're trying
Speaker 11: to grow some podcasts. I want to co host the
Speaker 11: show with you. I was like, yeah, okay, that sounds good.
Speaker 11: Let's do it. Wait, you guys are offered me a
Speaker 11: full time job. Okay, let's sign let's do it. And
Speaker 11: the funny thing about podcasting is like, yeah, it was
Speaker 11: pretty successful right at first.
Speaker 7: We had a nice little we had a great launch
Speaker 7: of the podcast.
Speaker 11: It was no, it was never a doubt in my
Speaker 11: mind that it was going to work. After we sat
Speaker 11: down and record the very first episode.
Speaker 7: I knew it was going to work.
Speaker 11: But as you gain like a little bit of notoriety
Speaker 11: and a little bit of like, you know, people in
Speaker 11: the media are like talking about you and shit, and
Speaker 11: you're it's very clear that you're making an impact on
Speaker 11: the sports media landscape even from day one. But at
Speaker 11: the end of the day, like podcasting is a very
Speaker 11: nerdy thing, So there's nothing glamorous, you know this about podcasting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like I.
Speaker 11: Was still sitting down in front of my computer and
Speaker 11: like talking into a webcam for like an hour a day,
Speaker 11: and that was my there's nothing cool to feel like,
Speaker 11: you don't feel cool while you do it. I like
Speaker 11: how I feel after the show because it's fun and
Speaker 11: it makes me laugh. But like the level of like
Speaker 11: internet fame that you're getting at one point does not
Speaker 11: correspond at all in my mind to like what the
Speaker 11: actual nuts and bolts of the job was.
Speaker 7: So I never felt like I was getting like massive
Speaker 7: and big.
Speaker 11: Or whatever, because at the end of the day, I
Speaker 11: still have to go sit down in my tiny little
Speaker 11: office in my rent assisted townhouse in Austin that I
Speaker 11: got at the time with Leroy behind me, like looking
Speaker 11: at the back of my foot as I'm trying to
Speaker 11: make jokes, you know, Dick jokes about college basketball on
Speaker 11: a podcast for an hour. So it was a very
Speaker 11: humbling job to have to do all the time, because
Speaker 11: if you don't, if you have, if you have a
Speaker 11: bad podcast, you feel like shit afterwards. Like there's a
Speaker 11: level of prep that you have to put into it,
Speaker 11: a level effort that you have to put into it.
Speaker 7: Billy knows prep.
Speaker 3: A lot of prep.
Speaker 11: Su Yeah, and so it's podcasting in a weird way,
Speaker 11: does keep you It does keep you humble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you see it.
Speaker 1: You'll see the reaction and it's it's kind of like
Speaker 1: the same thing like when when we were in a podcast,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's up the par It would
Speaker 1: always remind me like not playing a good football game.
Speaker 1: You want to get to the next game or the
Speaker 1: next pod bad so you can just you can like
Speaker 1: feel better about yourself or like right that.
Speaker 2: Wrong that you did, be like I'm gonna show up
Speaker 2: next game.
Speaker 11: Have you ever had to like delete a pod or
Speaker 11: record a pod that you're like, we're not putting this
Speaker 11: one out.
Speaker 1: Uh, We've had to delete a pod based on the
Speaker 1: guests not wanting it out there, which sucked.
Speaker 7: That usually just gets people to talk about it more.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was Thomas Rhett. Okay, yeah it was Thomas Rhett.
Speaker 1: We like, we did this pod and there are some
Speaker 1: things that he didn't want out there but you can
Speaker 1: find on Google anyway.
Speaker 2: It was like not one of the things of sponsorship, but.
Speaker 1: We could have edited, we could have corrected that, edited
Speaker 1: that out, and then it was kind of like since
Speaker 1: it was out there and the sponsors thing was happened,
Speaker 1: there's like something else he kind of didn't want in there.
Speaker 1: So it's like, hey, just take down the whole take
Speaker 1: down the whole episode. That's like a it's more of
Speaker 1: like an operational like frustrating thing because you can't it's
Speaker 1: hard to like explain that to your fans at the time,
Speaker 1: and you're not trying to you.
Speaker 7: Know, we had an issue.
Speaker 1: You're not trying to like you're not trying to shoot
Speaker 1: on the guests because you know it comes from their
Speaker 1: like media team, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So it's like a it's like a weird dynamic. But
Speaker 2: have we ever not ran a certain pod episode episode zero,
Speaker 2: like zero, like our first pod ever is triple zero
Speaker 2: because we tried running two. Yeah, right, right, right right.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't think we've ever had to delete
Speaker 1: delete an episode.
Speaker 7: I'm looking up right now. I'm not being disrespectful.
Speaker 11: I'm trying to look up what that contract was that
Speaker 11: serious offered me for the steam room.
Speaker 2: You can see it.
Speaker 11: You can look it up still in my email. Yeah,
Speaker 11: I don't delete any what's your email.
Speaker 7: At right now? You're in box?
Speaker 2: I think over four thousand.
Speaker 7: Yeah, those are rookie numbers. We gotta get this numbers.
Speaker 2: What's yours?
Speaker 11: I think I'm at like seventy three thousand, yeah, seventy
Speaker 11: three thousand emails? Yes, and then I've got two. I'm
Speaker 11: gonna drink some of my sea right now? Do you
Speaker 11: get a bev lokiv oky?
Speaker 7: Billy would like a bet?
Speaker 2: I've been pounding the cups ends? Or can we just
Speaker 2: get like a warring bowl?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Come on, I'm joking. I don't Joe, Yeah, like, I'm joking.
Speaker 7: I'm halfway joking about Billy.
Speaker 1: Like, I was very aware that you answered that question earlier,
Speaker 1: and then I went directly back to something with PFT like,
Speaker 1: I'm just like trying to play into the out of Billy,
Speaker 1: like how you give like an insightful answer, And then
Speaker 1: I just looked back at PFT and just ask him
Speaker 1: about pardon my take, and Billy's like, all right, I guess.
Speaker 2: I guess he just doesn't give a fuck.
Speaker 7: I love.
Speaker 3: I know you're still salty about the pants.
Speaker 5: I would like to actually apologize while where in front
Speaker 5: of the camera because I kind of feel bad about that.
Speaker 1: That is honestly exactly what I wanted to hear, because
Speaker 1: there was like, I'm all about the camaraderie and the
Speaker 1: banter and having fun.
Speaker 2: But I felt like he was a trade was a
Speaker 2: delicious Yeah.
Speaker 1: I felt like may crossed me because I did like
Speaker 1: I was fully bought into, like and this would be
Speaker 1: good for Billy, like this is the route to go,
Speaker 1: and you crossing me like that. I was just like, damn,
Speaker 1: I was in a position, really, I was in a
Speaker 1: position where really snaked me.
Speaker 7: I felt a little bit trayed by you.
Speaker 5: Why because you were trying to get me to do
Speaker 5: it to press to Dave.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and doubt that was just a bad move.
Speaker 7: You think about the numbers that would have done Billy,
Speaker 7: that you had torn Dave's jeans pants.
Speaker 2: Like at the end of the day, like Dave's all
Speaker 2: about contract.
Speaker 1: We literally stood him in front of us and I said, hey, Dave,
Speaker 1: think about this content idea.
Speaker 2: And we literally said what we were gonna do.
Speaker 1: We just didn't say it was gonna be I thought
Speaker 1: it was a bad screenlighted if.
Speaker 2: You knew it was gonna go viral.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, absolutely, And so I said, like, yo,
Speaker 1: you're good to go. If you go and get the
Speaker 1: head man the top of the mountain, go after the
Speaker 1: head of the whole machine, You're gonna do numbers.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, I kind of felt that
Speaker 5: you're trying to get me into a situation that wasn't
Speaker 5: gonna be good.
Speaker 2: Which that's in your own head.
Speaker 3: It might be, it was in my own head.
Speaker 7: It was probably would have gotten really would have.
Speaker 11: Gotten shipped on by Dave if you had so someone
Speaker 11: had to get getten shipped on by Dave in the
Speaker 11: name of contest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you wouldn't have actually gotten shipped on by Dave. Like,
Speaker 1: hey you're suspended.
Speaker 11: Yeah, It's it's tricky though, like a lot of people,
Speaker 11: you know, I don't know if they're if they're not
Speaker 11: like one of the original people at Barceol.
Speaker 7: They're always afraid of getting shipped on by Dave.
Speaker 11: But what they don't understand sometimes is getting shipped on
Speaker 11: by Dave could be the best thing to happen to you,
Speaker 11: right because it puts you, It puts you in a
Speaker 11: massive spotlight for a while. And even though there will
Speaker 11: be some people that like absolutely roast you.
Speaker 2: And because they're pro day like, it's like the the
Speaker 2: it's like the Dave stoolies.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so there's there's the guy Travis is what we
Speaker 11: call him, not Travy.
Speaker 7: When he posted that TikTok when.
Speaker 11: You first started working at barstool, it was like Travis's
Speaker 11: for the boys. When he was like showing his like
Speaker 11: day one, he.
Speaker 7: Got roasted by it by Dave because he was like,
Speaker 7: what the fuck is this?
Speaker 11: This is the worst thing I've ever seen. And I
Speaker 11: talked to him. I was like, dude, I know it
Speaker 11: sucks right now. It's like it's very bad for you,
Speaker 11: but it's gonna be good because one Dave knows who
Speaker 11: you are. He doesn't know who anybody else is in
Speaker 11: the entry class. And now you have a thing. You're
Speaker 11: a guy and people associate something with you because of
Speaker 11: that very cringey video that you put out, But it's
Speaker 11: still it'll end up being a good thing. It'll be
Speaker 11: a positive thing for you later. But like a lot
Speaker 11: of people need to realize that in the moment, it's
Speaker 11: hard to actually have that recognition because it feels like
Speaker 11: everyone's coming after you. But when Dave, when Dave attacks you,
Speaker 11: it can be very very beneficial if you just if.
Speaker 7: You play it the right way and you wait it out.
Speaker 1: Right, if you play into and understand that it's not
Speaker 1: as serious as what you're thinking it is, because another
Speaker 1: moment's gonna happen, it's gonna go by, and you're right,
Speaker 1: you get associated with something, which if you can play
Speaker 1: into that character like that's kind of the genius behind
Speaker 1: the creative right, and not get too wrapped up like
Speaker 1: because you can get mentally go down a rabbit hole
Speaker 1: by everybody attacking you, thinking like it's like a very
Speaker 1: personal feeling versus just knowing if you can like separate
Speaker 1: yourself from that person who's on social media and just
Speaker 1: know like this is this is the game.
Speaker 2: If you can learn to like play the game, you're
Speaker 2: in the driver's seat.
Speaker 3: It's a hard mental juxtaposition.
Speaker 7: It is.
Speaker 3: It messes with people's brains.
Speaker 2: But I was I think we were on KFC Radio
Speaker 2: talking about this.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like it's hard for you guys
Speaker 1: at times because all of you are around each other,
Speaker 1: like twenty four to seven in the office, and some
Speaker 1: people can feel a type of way on a personal
Speaker 1: level that's outside of the internet. That could that can
Speaker 1: you guys are all around each other like proximity.
Speaker 11: Yeah, if you're isolated, then it definitely gets more in
Speaker 11: your own head. Yeah, things are going bad because you're
Speaker 11: all that you have. It's like you and then the
Speaker 11: screen that you look at to get validations. Sometimes have
Speaker 11: you reached the point do you do you read all
Speaker 11: the comments?
Speaker 2: I read.
Speaker 1: I read comments to look for like more content to
Speaker 1: play off of. I like I've explained it on the
Speaker 1: pot before, like when I would look at comments playing
Speaker 1: ball versus looking at comments now to where people try
Speaker 1: and say anything about playing ball, Like I've I've been
Speaker 1: able to compartmentalize it because I would get wrapped up
Speaker 1: in it. But I feel like I've figured out I
Speaker 1: have a good.
Speaker 2: Separation from it.
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, I guess you could say I do
Speaker 1: read comments, but it's more it's more like, how can
Speaker 1: I play into the that the internet to like get
Speaker 1: some lass with people.
Speaker 7: That's a healthy relationship to have.
Speaker 1: Right because as long as you like take it what's
Speaker 1: being said bad about you, I can be an example
Speaker 1: for people who feel like they get shipped on and like, oh,
Speaker 1: he here's how he deals with and it's funny and
Speaker 1: it seems like it's not as serious as what everybody
Speaker 1: makes it because it's not.
Speaker 3: Our Twitter replies counts comments.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a comment kind of good question.
Speaker 1: You put out a tweet, you see the comments, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you could be looking for like it sucks if you
Speaker 1: put out something then you're reading the replies because you're
Speaker 1: seeing what people are saying about it. Yeah, Like I
Speaker 1: like to look at the replies and yeah, I'll be
Speaker 1: in a chat with JP. I'll be in a chat
Speaker 1: with JP and or he'll bring my attention to one
Speaker 1: of the comments.
Speaker 2: Because it's not like you can see. It's not you
Speaker 2: can keep up with every comment.
Speaker 1: You might throw off a tweet and for the next
Speaker 1: few minutes, like you're high. You're like you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this would be a funny one and then you want
Speaker 1: to see the initial comments. But after a while it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: why didn't you respond to this comment? Did you not
Speaker 1: see And it's like, look, you can't see everything.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not healthy to see everything either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get you get wrapped up in it.
Speaker 11: And then people attest their entire like self worth to
Speaker 11: the comments, liking them, and then the second they don't
Speaker 11: like you just crushes you.
Speaker 2: It would just you're not gonna please everybody.
Speaker 7: Never never.
Speaker 5: Also, the psychology that unhappy people are more vocal so
Speaker 5: like even if the happy people aren't gonna comment said
Speaker 5: that before.
Speaker 1: No, I said, that's well said, oh yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: the people are gonna vocalize more.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Mean that's just like psych one oh one?
Speaker 7: Is that psych one on one? Billy?
Speaker 3: All the happy people aren't All the happy people.
Speaker 7: Are being like fascinating being around Billy.
Speaker 11: You know what he said this morning? Uh this don't worry, Billy,
Speaker 11: this isn't bad. We're just like watching a lot of
Speaker 11: students and people around town. And I said to Bill,
Speaker 11: I was like, it's a very good looking university here,
Speaker 11: like it's very attractive.
Speaker 7: Everybody's attractive here.
Speaker 11: And Billy was like, oh, like low key, the reason
Speaker 11: that there's so many hot chicks is in the South
Speaker 11: is because of the Civil War and how like demographics
Speaker 11: shifted when a bunch of dudes went to fight and
Speaker 11: got killed.
Speaker 3: And Bill will Eastern Europe.
Speaker 7: Yes, Billy's like an anthropologist on set.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, seriously, if you look.
Speaker 1: At it in a macrodosing episode right now, like is
Speaker 1: this it?
Speaker 11: Yeah, this dude, Billy is like an anthropologist where he
Speaker 11: sees like the deep reasons behind all these uh from
Speaker 11: centuries ago exactly, and now it might be complete and
Speaker 11: total bullshit, but then he believes it.
Speaker 5: But like, that is something that's true in Eastern Europe,
Speaker 5: and you could apply the same stuff to the Southern units.
Speaker 11: Tell me about why people why women are more attractive
Speaker 11: in Eastern years.
Speaker 7: No, I'm curious. I'm being honest.
Speaker 5: I don't know. Well, there's more of them. Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: more like a numbers game.
Speaker 7: Okay, so that traces back to World War two.
Speaker 5: You're saying, I think so I read an article about
Speaker 5: I can't cite it right now, I'm gonna get wrong
Speaker 5: and I don't have to fact check myself.
Speaker 2: You're right, you're right. Hey, what time. Are we at
Speaker 2: JP al right?
Speaker 1: Cool because we can just we could continue to ramble
Speaker 1: all day long.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: What question do I want to ask you?
Speaker 7: Dude?
Speaker 2: I have a tier talk. You guys want to do
Speaker 2: tier talk or anything?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 2: Here we go tear talk.
Speaker 1: It's similar to like do you ever see like the
Speaker 1: ESPN and like Bleacher Report and people do like Mount
Speaker 1: Rushmore listened?
Speaker 7: Bleacher Report is pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do like this thing called Mount Rushmore where
Speaker 1: they're like do all their top stuff. And we kind
Speaker 1: of saw from them and we were like, oh, how
Speaker 1: can we do a list? And then instead of like four,
Speaker 1: they're all kind of equivalent. You can kind of pick
Speaker 1: them wherever and they're kind of on the same level.
Speaker 1: We like to kind of tear it out one through three,
Speaker 1: like one's got to be better than the.
Speaker 7: You guys invented lists.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say invented.
Speaker 1: We kind of saw it again, like from ESPNS and
Speaker 1: like the the mainstream media, like when they do the
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore's and and uh, we just kind of thought
Speaker 1: it'd be cool to do actual lists of tiering them.
Speaker 7: I like that that's very novel com like doing.
Speaker 1: Actual rankings versus being like, oh, here's the top ten,
Speaker 1: like we want to say tier.
Speaker 11: Okay, all right, so we do Should we do four
Speaker 11: of one or what's your tier that you want to
Speaker 11: talk about?
Speaker 2: What's the subject. Yeah, I would love to do months.
Speaker 7: Can I just do my four best months?
Speaker 2: A level?
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, you got a tier in one
Speaker 1: through three. If you have an honorable mention, you have
Speaker 1: an honorable mention. All right, so I'm three, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: start at three going up to one. You can go first,
Speaker 1: Billy can go second, I can go third. Wait, it's
Speaker 1: not a draft where if you say one, I can't
Speaker 1: say I agree with you.
Speaker 2: Open conversation and our very confusing to me. No, it's
Speaker 2: not just rank your top three months.
Speaker 7: Top three months, number three, number three. I'm going to
Speaker 7: go with July. I saw yours. I saw your three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bill, Bill, you can you can share it.
Speaker 3: You can share, Yeah, I was.
Speaker 11: It's like a communist version of Mount Rushmore. Yeah whatever
Speaker 11: whatever Mountain day chisels.
Speaker 3: We share the one we can both.
Speaker 2: Here's your list and like it's your personal list.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm put in July.
Speaker 2: No, hey, it's not your turn this down, Bill, Yeah,
Speaker 2: calm down. You'd like to have.
Speaker 1: Him have the floor the whole time so we can
Speaker 1: explain himself. We don't give a reaction, and then.
Speaker 7: Okay, so July number three.
Speaker 11: Why reasoning I mean July is it's a great month.
Speaker 11: It's it still has summer vacation vibes. To me, I
Speaker 11: don't think as humans we get so fucked over.
Speaker 7: We're grown up.
Speaker 11: As kids, we're taught for the first eighteen sometimes to
Speaker 11: twenty one years of her life basically that you get
Speaker 11: off work all of July and August every year, and
Speaker 11: then you become an adult and you're like, wait, well,
Speaker 11: I gotta no, this is vacation, Like I'm not supposed
Speaker 11: to be working. It's July that fucked me up for
Speaker 11: a while when I entered the real world. It's got
Speaker 11: you know, fourth of July great holiday. I associate July
Speaker 11: with beaches, just taking trips.
Speaker 2: Do not and I apolsize for interrupt to you.
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking of JP and Jack's comments about New
Speaker 1: Year's even about how it's such an overrated holiday, and
Speaker 1: we were basically dating it back to like you grow
Speaker 1: up with it in your Christmas break that it was
Speaker 1: hype then yeah, but now that it's kind of like
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of think about work the next day.
Speaker 2: You don't actually have the next few days off.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and then once you hit your thirties and the
Speaker 11: hangovers last for like two days.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Then it's actually just like it's a bad holiday.
Speaker 2: It's really bad high It's like you can't make it
Speaker 2: to yeah night.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate.
Speaker 11: I'm not a fan. Ours two crowded. You have to
Speaker 11: wait behind like five people to get a drink. It's
Speaker 11: always overpriced. It sucks. So July number three. So I'm
Speaker 11: going my number two right now, Yes, my number two
Speaker 11: month in the world.
Speaker 7: I'm going to go. I'm gonna do.
Speaker 11: I like November. I'm a big November guy. It's not
Speaker 11: too cold usually not a whole lot of snow. Thanksgiving
Speaker 11: is my.
Speaker 7: Personal I think it's my favorite holiday.
Speaker 11: I love Wait, wait, what's your Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving might be
Speaker 11: my favorite holiday.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 11: Just get together family friends. I love the food. I
Speaker 11: love turkey. A lot of people hate on turkey, but yeah,
Speaker 11: Thanksgiving is always always Austin. If you do a deep
Speaker 11: fried turkey, that will make you love the entire month
Speaker 11: of November.
Speaker 7: So I'm gonna go. November number two.
Speaker 11: We got college football cooking, we got NFL cooking. Like
Speaker 11: you start to get the in the hunt graphics start
Speaker 11: popping up in the NFL. Right around then the cornucopia
Speaker 11: that they put on the score bug at the bottom
Speaker 11: of the screen.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I love following the score bug. Guys.
Speaker 11: Like the season's change and the months change, because October
Speaker 11: you start to get like the.
Speaker 7: Leaves falling on there.
Speaker 11: You get one spooky weekend where it's like this jack
Speaker 11: lanyard and maybe like a ghost or.
Speaker 7: Something at the bottom.
Speaker 11: Then you go into November and you get to cornicopia,
Speaker 11: which I've never actually seen in person. A cornic copia,
Speaker 11: it seems like a rather inefficient way to present food.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just dumps alusive thing that you've never actually saw.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like Bigfoot.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, but that's another thing that we're growing up to.
Speaker 11: Like expect around Thanksgiving somebody's going to have a giant
Speaker 11: wicker basket that's overflowing with an abundance of produce that
Speaker 11: they're just gonna throw it on the table. It never happens,
Speaker 11: but so I love following the Scorebug. Then we get
Speaker 11: into December and you start to get to Christmas lights
Speaker 11: around the Fox NFL Sunday thing and then after Christmas
Speaker 11: you just get the snow falling. So that's every year.
Speaker 11: It's the same and I love it. I love falling
Speaker 11: it every year. So November November number two and then
Speaker 11: number one, my number one month of all time.
Speaker 7: I think we're in it right now, boys, I think
Speaker 7: we're in it. I think it's September. Whoa.
Speaker 11: I think September might be the strongest thing. Whoa because
Speaker 11: it's Will's birthday. Yeah, and a lot of people saying
Speaker 11: that if you're born in September, you basically have to
Speaker 11: make it in professional sports because you're older than everybody
Speaker 11: else in your grade, so you have a natural advantage.
Speaker 11: Like I was born in January, so I was I
Speaker 11: was doomed from the start.
Speaker 7: I was never going to be an athlete.
Speaker 1: You know, you're the kid, You're the kid where you're
Speaker 1: in the grade and you don't have the peach fuzzy
Speaker 1: yet coming in because you're like a few months later
Speaker 1: and you kind of get made fun.
Speaker 2: Of for, oh, you don't have beach fuzzy yet.
Speaker 7: You didn't have peach fuzz I still don't have peach fuzs.
Speaker 11: I only had like one armpit with hair in it
Speaker 11: as it first started growing. Meanwhile, I shared, I was
Speaker 11: next to my main man, Ali, that was in the
Speaker 11: eighth grade locker room next to me after gym class,
Speaker 11: and he had a full chest of hair and a
Speaker 11: full beard eighth grade and he was like three hundred pounds,
Speaker 11: maybe not three or maybe like two hundred and thirty,
Speaker 11: still a big boy for that age.
Speaker 7: And then it was me.
Speaker 11: I was like one hundred and ten pounds in eighth grade,
Speaker 11: only tiny bit of hair underneath one armpit. Standing next.
Speaker 11: I was like, we're not the same human, but that's
Speaker 11: what a September birthday will do for you. So yeah,
Speaker 11: you're kind of like it's a system month for athletes,
Speaker 11: but I think September is the strongest month.
Speaker 7: You get the best weather.
Speaker 11: I think it's not unbearably hot, but you still have summer.
Speaker 7: Vibes to it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you have football that gets started, which is fantastic,
Speaker 11: and then it starts to you start to feel the
Speaker 11: autumn air come in as the season gets a little bit,
Speaker 11: or as September gets a little bit you know, later
Speaker 11: in the month.
Speaker 7: So I think I'm gonna go September number.
Speaker 2: One, and that seems like it's based around all football vibes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, now that now that I'm thinking about it entirely.
Speaker 2: Grade, you better make it in football likes. It's everything's
Speaker 2: based around the football. I just live life on a
Speaker 2: football calendar.
Speaker 11: Sometimes we'll be like in the middle of like the
Speaker 11: March badness in the n c Double A, or it'll
Speaker 11: be like NBA playoffs and we'll be doing part of
Speaker 11: my take and I'll just refer to it being the
Speaker 11: off season right now. Big Ketill look at me like true,
Speaker 11: He's like, dude, this is It's the NCUABLEA tournament happening
Speaker 11: right now. This is one of the best times of
Speaker 11: the year. And I do love the NCAA tournament. But
Speaker 11: at the same time, like in the back of my head,
Speaker 11: I'm like, no, we're in the off.
Speaker 7: Season right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have to be doing this choosing it,
Speaker 1: Billy brother, I choose same months in different tiers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and listen, this is your top three lists. It could
Speaker 1: be the exact same if you want, you can say
Speaker 1: the exact wording and say that you changed my life
Speaker 1: with all those three picks.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with all of them, so for three,
Speaker 5: I think, okay for three, I'm gonna go with May
Speaker 5: because May is when it all starts popping off. So
Speaker 5: when you come out of like really come out of
Speaker 5: the winter, it's when you appreciate the warm days the most.
Speaker 3: It's the best for activities.
Speaker 5: A little you know, sometimes it's little rainy, but it's
Speaker 5: like the first like eighty degree days, first time you're
Speaker 5: really coming out of the winter, and it's just great
Speaker 5: for vibes. Everyone's buzzing in May. I do mean, think
Speaker 5: about it. I like Billy's explanation.
Speaker 7: Where it's the best month for activities. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 7: he's he's got a point.
Speaker 2: As much as I'm waiting on waiting for him to
Speaker 2: say something that we can kind of laugh at, like
Speaker 2: I'm on board here.
Speaker 5: I mean, like you're you're cooped up all winter, May
Speaker 5: comes out.
Speaker 3: That's when it starts popping off.
Speaker 7: Yeah, i'd say you.
Speaker 2: Said popping off as your reason, I'd say, yeah, if.
Speaker 11: We're doing a tier of like best months for activities,
Speaker 11: I think that might be I would include I'd.
Speaker 7: Say April in front of May. No, but life is
Speaker 7: all about activities. Yeah, No, I know that.
Speaker 11: I'm just saying April, I think is a better activity.
Speaker 7: April showers, Yeah, little rainy, you don't like you don't
Speaker 7: like dancing the rain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like you know, just wetending on where you are,
Speaker 1: you can still be cold in April.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a little.
Speaker 7: True Chicago, it's gonna be cold in April.
Speaker 1: April is not fun. Yeah in Chicago ship which you'll be.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that too.
Speaker 5: Uh my second tier, I'm going with December just because
Speaker 5: Christmas vibes.
Speaker 1: Christmas still is still you know, Christmas is still king.
Speaker 1: You know, Christmas is king, and we're saying it again, yeah,
Speaker 1: which is great.
Speaker 7: Merry Christmas.
Speaker 3: I mean, like it's still number one. I mean we're saying.
Speaker 11: Remember that we stopped entirely for like six years. You
Speaker 11: can say, Mary, you get arrested. Now it's back baby,
Speaker 11: Merry Christmas.
Speaker 5: No, but like football is number one roll sports like Christmas,
Speaker 5: and the holiday season of December is still number one overall.
Speaker 2: Playoff times coming yeah, I do.
Speaker 5: Like, No, that's when you enjoy winter. It's not when
Speaker 5: it's like, oh this is going on for too long.
Speaker 5: This is like first snows. This is when winter activities
Speaker 5: are fun.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But December twenty sixth, Like I feel like you just
Speaker 2: dive off a cliff.
Speaker 3: Like that, but you got.
Speaker 5: But the thing is, I was gonna butt in when
Speaker 5: you guys are talking about New Year's Eve.
Speaker 2: But New Year's Eve.
Speaker 5: Like its whole purpose is to give you a little
Speaker 5: life after Christmas. It gives you, it works you an
Speaker 5: extra couple of days to be like, oh no, it's
Speaker 5: not over. It's like between Christmas, gives you actually realize
Speaker 5: how overrated it is.
Speaker 2: Like, man, but yeah, you and keep this way.
Speaker 5: But January first is when the letdown comes. Not December
Speaker 5: twenty six you get some Bowl games December twenty Yeah,
Speaker 5: December twenty sixth, you're like living it up, like you're like, oh,
Speaker 5: we got something else coming and it's not all over.
Speaker 7: You know, Billy was the.
Speaker 2: Type of kid who showed off all of his Christmas gifts.
Speaker 1: He just said, December twenty sixth, you live it up
Speaker 1: like you know, we'd be going around showing off all
Speaker 1: of us.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, the best Christmas present you ever got, Billy, I.
Speaker 2: Don't even remember. Did you wear your Christmas outfit your
Speaker 2: parents got you?
Speaker 5: Like this first day back in No, Well, we had
Speaker 5: to try it on like that day, Like you get
Speaker 5: something for Christmas, it was like, oh, you gotta try
Speaker 5: it on.
Speaker 3: Then you go put on your new whatever.
Speaker 7: You definitely have like a favorite toy or favorite Christmas gift.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think.
Speaker 5: I mostly just got like cleats and new like sports stuff.
Speaker 2: You probably get the new in a like football video game.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean Madden.
Speaker 7: But you can't really show that off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like you seem like a kid who didn't get
Speaker 1: the video game right when it came out. You had
Speaker 1: to like wait for all.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I always got Madden at Christmas. I never got it
Speaker 3: in August.
Speaker 11: Because your parents were probably like, we can dangle Madden
Speaker 11: over his head and make him.
Speaker 7: Behave make him be a good boy. Yeah for four months.
Speaker 11: We get four months in good behavior out of Billy
Speaker 11: because he's thinking about Madden, going.
Speaker 5: Over to my friend's house playing the new Madden, being like, Oh,
Speaker 5: I can't wait to play Superstar Mode, Like yeah, like
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna have like several different superstars, like
Speaker 5: one quarterback, one linebacker, like sick.
Speaker 11: We did have this debate on on macrodosing at one point,
Speaker 11: and if you're listening in the car, right now with
Speaker 11: maybe a child that is under the age of eleven
Speaker 11: or so might want to might want to turn this
Speaker 11: part off even twelve. But is is Santa Claus the
Speaker 11: biggest conspiracy of all time? Like a conspiracy theory that's
Speaker 11: actually real. Like every adult gets together and we're like,
Speaker 11: we're gonna lie to every child, every child that's out there,
Speaker 11: and be like, yo, there's a big, fat guy that's
Speaker 11: going to reward you if you're good. Like that's that's
Speaker 11: a literal conspiracy theory, And for some reason we're like, yeah,
Speaker 11: it's cool to lie to every kid about this just trip.
Speaker 2: I think that's a very good point.
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of unpacking with that one. Yeah, because I'm on board
Speaker 1: with it, but I would hate to interrupt Billy's tear talk.
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm sorry, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, that's a great I
Speaker 1: think that's a great question that probably that probably deserves
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes of our attention.
Speaker 5: We mistrust the government because of Santa Claus.
Speaker 11: That's the scars every kid, every kid has to go
Speaker 11: through trauma and find out that every adult lied to them.
Speaker 11: Their entire life that Fox kids up like they okay,
Speaker 11: we'll get.
Speaker 7: Your child's right there.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna lie to your child?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? We gotta have the Christmas vibes up. We needed
Speaker 2: to be a good girl. Billy.
Speaker 1: You know you want some bow j Angles. Billy my
Speaker 1: number one, number one. So this is where I'm gonna
Speaker 1: agree with PFT. I am a sucker for July number one.
Speaker 1: July July fourth great holiday.
Speaker 3: July is just.
Speaker 5: Literally even though we don't have technically summer vacation anymore,
Speaker 5: there's always summer Fridays. You know, you a lot of
Speaker 5: people get all of July fourth week off, and you
Speaker 5: know week low key take the last weekend week of
Speaker 5: July off. You work remote, So it's goaded.
Speaker 1: July is goaded, all right, mine, I will say my
Speaker 1: Tier three, I share the same exact sentiment as Billy football.
Speaker 1: I think, may you're again, you're coming out. We were
Speaker 1: actually talking about the other day JP. He's horrified for
Speaker 1: the winter to come in because that seasonal depression kicks
Speaker 1: in where he gets starts super early. Like I think
Speaker 1: you do, you go through the winter months. That's what
Speaker 1: I think the benefit is about. Like living in the like,
Speaker 1: I mean, Tennessee's kind of the Midwest, or like the
Speaker 1: where you get all four seasons.
Speaker 7: You're gonna people, real, man, how many people they'll know.
Speaker 2: They all know him Midwest guys, it's all.
Speaker 7: It's all people from like Indiana and Ohio.
Speaker 11: They get so mad when people try to define what
Speaker 11: the Midwest is.
Speaker 2: They're like, fuck you, that's yea. Or when Virginia, like
Speaker 2: when Virginia's like, oh, we're part of the South, Like, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: you're not.
Speaker 7: I love doing that.
Speaker 11: I like to tell people online bad food opinions and
Speaker 11: then they get mad at me.
Speaker 7: I'm like, I'm from the South. I'm from Northern Virginia.
Speaker 7: Northern Virginia, y'all don't know how to cook. I was
Speaker 7: dropped the y'all in there. Yeah your season, y'all. I'm
Speaker 7: from northern Virginia.
Speaker 1: But Tennessee experiences all four seasons, and I think, like,
Speaker 1: you're excited going into winter, but when you come out
Speaker 1: on the other side and May is kicking off and
Speaker 1: you start getting teased with those warmer months all like
Speaker 1: sam volleyball starts getting played again. Activities all people are
Speaker 1: going outside. You go to like a local parking everybody's
Speaker 1: out there with their dogs already, Like the vibes are up.
Speaker 1: The vibes are up.
Speaker 5: So I share with that seasonal depression going into winter.
Speaker 5: That's like that makes that may like I don't even
Speaker 5: know what the opposite is.
Speaker 3: Like seasonal mania, like seasonal just like.
Speaker 11: Happy happiness, happiness, seasonal yeah, order, yeah, seasonal euphoria.
Speaker 2: All about seasonal euphoria. Yeah. My tier two is.
Speaker 1: So I know what my one is. My tier two
Speaker 1: is November. I agree that you're going into holiday season.
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving isn't my favorite month, but it's a or isn't
Speaker 1: my favorite holiday, but it's a holiday you can appreciate
Speaker 1: because there's no expectation of gift giving, which I think
Speaker 1: is like a very underrated thing. Like you're around friends
Speaker 1: and family, there's zero expectation of gift giving, like you're
Speaker 1: just there to.
Speaker 2: Like say what you appreciate about somebody.
Speaker 1: But and you're right, like the football season, you're starting
Speaker 1: to get into December football right after thanksgivings up the
Speaker 1: Christmas tree. The vibes are absolutely up, like you are
Speaker 1: playing Christmas music like it's Christmas all month long in December. Basically, However,
Speaker 1: those vibes start in November. Yeah, and you're in prime
Speaker 1: football season. My tier one, it's, without a question, October
Speaker 1: the month that we're coming up in Spooptober number one.
Speaker 2: We're big Halloween guys over here. We're a big Halloween podcasts.
Speaker 1: The weather's breaking, like the weather's breaking right now in
Speaker 1: this very back half of September, and the leaves start
Speaker 1: to fall in October.
Speaker 2: It's hard to when it's.
Speaker 1: Friday and you get off work or Saturday morning, when
Speaker 1: you were already in prime football season and you got
Speaker 1: that whiter sunlight that's coming out. It comes out in September,
Speaker 1: but fall you just have so much. The themes start happening.
Speaker 1: Pumpkin spice, lattes, pumpkin cream, cold bruise, all of the
Speaker 1: siders start coming out.
Speaker 2: Pople are tailgating for real.
Speaker 1: They're coming out with their unique dishes to October, like
Speaker 1: Spooktober all month long is the ultimate vibe.
Speaker 7: I think that's a good explanation.
Speaker 11: I also think in October you can the variety of
Speaker 11: clothes that you can wear is at the peak. I
Speaker 11: think that there's so many different combinations in that month. Yeah,
Speaker 11: it really It lets you dress it lets you start
Speaker 11: styling on people.
Speaker 2: You can.
Speaker 11: I think you can stunt on more people in October
Speaker 11: than any other month.
Speaker 7: Most dress.
Speaker 1: You can wear every variety, every variety, like you can
Speaker 1: still probably get away with shorts if you want to.
Speaker 1: People might judge you and then you're arguing with them.
Speaker 1: I'm like, who's whose flex is better?
Speaker 11: Yeah, you can do shorts, you can do scarves, even
Speaker 11: sometimes mixed up.
Speaker 7: Then you got costumes coming in at the end.
Speaker 11: Wide variety. Yeah, I got to wrap it up from
Speaker 11: mad Dog over there because we have the college football show.
Speaker 2: I think we all do we are?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta go over there.
Speaker 7: To y Yeah, we're all. That's true.
Speaker 2: Do you have anything else that we gotta do?
Speaker 1: Although the road back question, you're you're familiar with the
Speaker 1: last final question?
Speaker 2: Do you want to recite the.
Speaker 11: So Rollback it's the best company that you can choose
Speaker 11: for polos, quarter zips, hoodies.

Speaker 5: this October.
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, Like let's get like, let's get let's get
Speaker 7: let's get hooky.
Speaker 1: But my final roadback question, has there ever been what's
Speaker 1: been the most uncomfortable situation with you and Big Kat
Speaker 1: throughout your tenure at Barstool Sports, Like is it weird
Speaker 1: with the dynamic because he's in barstool, you're more of
Speaker 1: a talent, Like has that ever been? Has there has
Speaker 1: there ever been a little bit of division with that.
Speaker 11: I don't think that we've ever had like any weird
Speaker 11: tension field moment.
Speaker 2: I think it's been the most tension field moment.
Speaker 7: There we go, yeah, okay, the most tension field moment
Speaker 7: because you.
Speaker 2: Know, we need a little bit of drama, like we
Speaker 2: get to sit with you.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to think what it would be to hear
Speaker 7: the tea.
Speaker 1: Probably yeah, like dude us joining in, partnering with barstool,
Speaker 1: Like getting to know everybody, it's been awesome. And then
Speaker 1: I've watched all the documentary stuff that you guys have
Speaker 1: done to Eyboy's coming in.
Speaker 2: You get to know the company and how it's been built.
Speaker 1: It's like you're always curious, like what's going on behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, because it's it takes like a certain level
Speaker 1: of like it takes a high level of execution to
Speaker 1: keep everybody involved and bought in all the time, and
Speaker 1: so I'm curious, like those conversations are things that go
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes that nobody knows about.
Speaker 11: I like to think that that part of my take
Speaker 11: has been successful because Big Cat and I don't, like
Speaker 11: we never let our egos get in the way of anything,
Speaker 11: Like we realize how lucky we are to be doing
Speaker 11: this and it's very fun.
Speaker 7: It's the best job in the world.
Speaker 11: So I think we don't have there's none of that
Speaker 11: like headbutting that goes on.
Speaker 7: And he's a very easy.
Speaker 11: Guy to work with, Like Big Cat is the most
Speaker 11: talented person I think in sports media, so like I'm
Speaker 11: I'm lucky to get to work with him. I think
Speaker 11: maybe the most tention field maybe either after arsenol Vantalk
Speaker 11: got canceled on ESPN and we didn't know what, Like
Speaker 11: we were both mad. We're mad about the way that
Speaker 11: the whole thing went down. We're mad at everybody, like
Speaker 11: a wide variety of anger coming at from all directions
Speaker 11: for everybody involved in it. But that was just like
Speaker 11: a tension field time in general. Besides that, maybe the
Speaker 11: maybe the medium rare plus debates that we have sometimes,
Speaker 11: Like Big Cat gets mad about that because I tell
Speaker 11: him that the medium mare plus is a high in
Speaker 11: its order to make from a steakhouse, and it started
Speaker 11: out I was like, it's not that's not a real order, dude,
Speaker 11: Like I was saying it in a way that made
Speaker 11: it seem like there was no temperature between medium and
Speaker 11: medium rare. But in reality, it's more of a conversation
Speaker 11: have about whether it's an acceptable order to make at
Speaker 11: a steakhouse.
Speaker 7: Like if I was a waiter and I heard somebody say, media.
Speaker 2: You guys are close to going toe.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah, we've gone We've gone at it over
Speaker 11: that on the podcast a couple of times. We make
Speaker 11: clips out of it, and you can see that we're
Speaker 11: both mad at each other for takes on mediaware plus.
Speaker 11: But if that's the if that's the biggest fight that
Speaker 11: we have in like almost seven years of podcasting, I
Speaker 11: think we're doing okay.
Speaker 5: They's like third person perspective. They don't fight. It's kind
Speaker 5: of weird we have.
Speaker 2: I think that's good. That's good to know.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I've been curious that, Like, man,
Speaker 1: how did they balance everything? And like keep everything, keep
Speaker 1: everything solid.
Speaker 11: We have a very I think we have a like
Speaker 11: a a very healthy relationship.
Speaker 7: I think it's it's grown nicely.
Speaker 11: And then sometimes we'll like you know, we'll get somebody
Speaker 11: like Billy will adopt the child. And then if we
Speaker 11: ever have any if being big Cat ever have any
Speaker 11: like anger towards each other, our attention towards you, So
Speaker 11: we just take it out on Billy, which is a
Speaker 11: very healthy redirection of anything that we might also keep.
Speaker 3: It together for the child.
Speaker 5: So like, if you're wondering why, like if it so
Speaker 5: like if you're wondering why, like my biggest role it's
