Speaker 2: it's easy for all the boys to tail us or fadus.
Speaker 2: I started off very tough to be fair, Maybe fade
Speaker 2: possibly faith possibly for either way, you get to see
Speaker 2: what we pick. So you can either tail the boys
Speaker 2: or you can fade us.
Speaker 4: Because the world knows that the boys are kind of
Speaker 4: walking into uncharted territory for busting with the boys. We're
Speaker 4: not sure what's really going on out here, but we're
Speaker 4: gonna make the most of it. Dive into the analytics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know they.

Speaker 4: other day. Actually, Michigan football, hockey, baball and basketball. We've
Speaker 4: just dominated a house state. It's not a big deal.
Speaker 4: It's it's kind of like the norm now for us.
Speaker 4: Best wanted to this is the news.

Speaker 2: up on LSU and LIS She's the number two team
Speaker 2: in the country. We were up like five oh quick,
Speaker 2: and I almost just started going crazy on the internet.
Speaker 2: Fortunately I stood down because LSU came back and beat us.

Speaker 4: little fine print there gotta have plus one hundred. Boys,
Speaker 4: how do we feel? How are we feeling about FanDuel
Speaker 4: sportsbook in our lives right now?
Speaker 2: That felt good, sponsors felt good. I love the color blue.
Speaker 4: Love the color blue. Hey, and it looks going to
Speaker 4: you right now, let's go behind you. Looks good in
Speaker 4: your eyes. Fantastic.
Speaker 6: It's the perfect time. It is the perfect You couldn't
Speaker 6: ask for a better time to partner with the best sportsbook.
Speaker 6: Right before March Madness, right before the Masters in April,
Speaker 6: NBA Finals, in June, Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 4: Whispers of the Derby Derby talks going on right now? Huh,
Speaker 4: boys all dressed the nine three piece suits, fun hats,
Speaker 4: maybe corn cob pipes. It's gonna be electric, electric March Madness.
Speaker 6: That's the one in this weekend was the perfect example.
Speaker 6: Why Yeah, Tennessee Vanderbilt both getting buzzer beat and it
Speaker 6: is we're going to see soda and Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Hurt.
Speaker 6: I think this is gonna be the best March Madness
Speaker 6: we've ever had because we've never had this many good teams,
Speaker 6: this many teams close to each other. And Missouri could
Speaker 6: easily beat an Auburn or a Florida duke could beat
Speaker 6: anybody these teams on the West Coast, they could beat anybody,
Speaker 6: and I feel like we have not had this many
Speaker 6: high level teams in college basketball in a long time.
Speaker 2: That fires me up because obviously we're kind of blockheads
Speaker 2: when it comes to college basketball. Absolutely, our first crack
Speaker 2: at it was last year with March Madness. That was
Speaker 2: a shitload of fun. I'm a massive fan of like
Speaker 2: first attend them little like live, bet them life prop bets.
Speaker 2: But uh, because JP's saying that, I'm like sitting here interested,
Speaker 2: why is it? Why could this shape up to be
Speaker 2: the best March Madness of all time? Because I feel
Speaker 2: like every year you start to get that itch, like
Speaker 2: back in high school when you'd be on the ESPN
Speaker 2: whatever whatever app had where you could have all the
Speaker 2: group tournaments and you're like putting in fifty of them
Speaker 2: just to see like the percentage that is still left
Speaker 2: that's alive. Like it's like, hey, you're in the top,
Speaker 2: you know, ten percent left, it's still alive in a
Speaker 2: perfect bracket.
Speaker 4: I'm excited to I'm excited to hit the bracket. I'm
Speaker 4: excited to possibly some whispers going on about the bust
Speaker 4: with the boys doing a couple of streams. Maybe during
Speaker 4: March Madness checking out those games. And I love the
Speaker 4: thought process of live betting, the first attends, all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Just keep it.
Speaker 4: Everybody dialed in. It's gonna be a hell of a time.
Speaker 7: Are we gonna do a bracket challenge? I have to Yeah,
Speaker 7: I have to gotta with bets. Yeah, FanDuel, now we
Speaker 7: should do We should do a challenge and maybe a
Speaker 7: punishment nothing, no shaved heads?
Speaker 4: He comes, Yeah, we should punishment. Okay, well, off the
Speaker 4: top of your head, what's the punishment?
Speaker 2: M taser? We did find out the tasers worked. Mitch
Speaker 2: had his boys in town. If you were listening last week,
Speaker 2: we got hustled by somebody coming in and sell us
Speaker 2: these flashlight tasers. They are incredible. But we found out
Speaker 2: over the weekend that they do work because Mitch's boy
Speaker 2: there a little sauced up and they started tasing each other.
Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know, you know, I mean, you know, dudes?
Speaker 8: Are they my My one buddy, Mike found it and
Speaker 8: then I showed him how to how to make it work,
Speaker 8: and I accidentally taste my hand and then he found out, oh,
Speaker 8: this ship actually hurts. So I'm gonna just terrify everybody
Speaker 8: with it and just run around and he he cornered foul, not.
Speaker 4: Foul, and like, no, not sweet foul dude.
Speaker 8: But no, he tased me. He tased me in the
Speaker 8: leg and I still have a mark. And he did
Speaker 8: that Friday. So those tasers definitely work and they definitely hurt.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 7: Ship, Well, we had a we had a week at
Speaker 7: least to decide on punishments before they get brackets.
Speaker 4: Submitted those things.
Speaker 2: Down there, maybe you know, for our sake, maybe some scouting. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the SEC tournament is in Nashville. Maybe you should because
Speaker 2: I'm a good thought in the SEC conference is like
Speaker 2: this is the best conference. This is the best the
Speaker 2: conference has been in forever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they haven't won a national championships and Evan, sure
Speaker 4: it's been a minute. You could possibly say the SEC
Speaker 4: might be due very due.
Speaker 1: They're due.
Speaker 2: I'm here on they got like twelve teams that could
Speaker 2: be in the tournament.
Speaker 9: That would be I'd I think because of the not
Speaker 9: everybody has a lack of knowledge on college basketball. But
Speaker 9: since there is an overarching lack of knowledge of college
Speaker 9: basketball over busting with the boys, maybe jay Rod could
Speaker 9: like build out a nice little presentation, have a compile
Speaker 9: everything about college basketball and present it to the boys.
Speaker 2: Or just get like super fans calling in just to
Speaker 2: tell us why, what the look like, what story, what
Speaker 2: story is resonating to why it could be their year?
Speaker 2: Maybe get a maybe get an expert analyst on the
Speaker 2: pod to break it down a little bit.
Speaker 4: What should we be looking for? Were you kind of
Speaker 4: rooting for right? I gotta know these storylines. I gotta
Speaker 4: know what's going on, the rivalries and all that when
Speaker 4: it comes to this college basketball in the march madness.
Speaker 4: But this, this is where I'm going to take the
Speaker 4: opportunity to lean on these tier ones. And hey, boys,
Speaker 4: we all know them a little green. So help me
Speaker 4: out understand this basketball thing and I'll just I'll ride whoever.
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm a blind horse. You just take me
Speaker 4: everything you want, put the halter on, walk me around camp.
Speaker 2: We're just looking to win bets.
Speaker 4: That's all we want to do. I don't care if
Speaker 4: it's I could put my name on the thing, but
Speaker 4: if we can do it together, boys, that's what matters
Speaker 4: to me. Yeah, that's what matters to me. Let's give
Speaker 4: him more round of a paustive Fandel, Huh what a
Speaker 4: time man?
Speaker 1: Unreal?
Speaker 2: Should we cover anything else on fames?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we actually know, no Fandel, No, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yourselves just throwing the question out there.
Speaker 4: So I got pissed off because I saw it was
Speaker 4: on the monitor. Oh yeah, so that wasn't that wasn't
Speaker 4: a shot. That was not getting mad with you. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that was getting mad with yea life and how bets
Speaker 4: don't go your way sometimes. Yeah, but uh, we can
Speaker 4: jump in a Fandel in a second. We can jump
Speaker 4: into whatever we want. But I just want you to know.

Speaker 4: He might be second to none when it comes to
Speaker 4: the crowd work as well. Guy is top, top tier, funny,
Speaker 4: willing to blur the lines anyway. Another person who blurs
Speaker 4: the lines made a second appearance on SNL. Let's give
Speaker 4: a round of apause for the boy. Shane Gillis monologue hilarious,
Speaker 4: walked into liberal territory and decided to go super trump
Speaker 4: on all of them clips were funny. I'm not the clips.
Speaker 4: The skits were hilarious, like the couple of beers ones,
Speaker 4: a couple of beers and hey, just a little bump,
Speaker 4: a little bump. That shit is so hilarious. It hit me.
Speaker 4: For those of you who watched the last podcast that
Speaker 4: resonated with me big time. That was a hell of
Speaker 4: a skit. A hell of a skit, dude.
Speaker 2: It was awesome.
Speaker 6: When they're guessing the suspect dude of Black and White.
Speaker 4: Three, we're up three.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 6: The buzzer beater one was crazy, like her name Lakeisha
Speaker 6: Tomsy he's there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Shane, he killed. He seemed much more comfortable.
Speaker 4: He was like he was in flow stand in that one.
Speaker 2: I was watch man. I didn't watch it live. I
Speaker 2: was just seeing all of it on on social media
Speaker 2: on the x app because I was busy. I was
Speaker 2: busy gooning on pubg with Sharon back there. We were
Speaker 2: running duos on pubg. Ho had a go last night
Speaker 2: the solid. You know, we didn't get a dinner. We
Speaker 2: didn't get a chicken dinner, but we did get it two.
Speaker 2: We got third or five, then a couple of top
Speaker 2: fifteen finishes, but we were we were out there throwing
Speaker 2: some leads.
Speaker 4: So you guys are like an above average little duo,
Speaker 4: I would.
Speaker 9: Say, I would say, when I'm not playing selfish, we
Speaker 9: ride like we we can cook poetry.
Speaker 4: I've never played PUBG with either one of you. I've
Speaker 4: never played PUBG in my life, but i have played
Speaker 4: Call of Duty with both of you. And the small
Speaker 4: sample size I have with you, Suram is you're the
Speaker 4: most selfish player I've ever met in my entire life.
Speaker 4: Not a team a little bit, but so you need it.
Speaker 4: When we're on that map and you just decided to
Speaker 4: take the bomb and run into the water, I was
Speaker 4: so confused.
Speaker 9: Was anybody else playing with us on the on the
Speaker 9: bus or was it j Rod? And yeah, essentially I
Speaker 9: would just grab and search and destroy and grab the
Speaker 9: bomb and then I would seal dive into a swimming
Speaker 9: pool and get the entire squad to then submerge underneath
Speaker 9: the water. It was for Vibes.
Speaker 4: It was Vibe bro it lost, and they'd be doing
Speaker 4: the countdown before you start off, and you can kind
Speaker 4: of look around at all the players but to play,
Speaker 4: and sure, I'm just like rolling on the ground and
Speaker 4: like looking in the air, not saying but just all
Speaker 4: these guys like standing there with their guns than one
Speaker 4: dude in the corner spazzing out, and just everyone's like, hey,
Speaker 4: we're going left. And then everyone goes left and you
Speaker 4: peak to your right and you just see one guy
Speaker 4: trailing off by himself, and it's just.
Speaker 9: I do I hone it in and pubg because it
Speaker 9: is a bit higher stakes, it's a longer game. I
Speaker 9: don't know I did, but I do. Get on the
Speaker 9: mountain bike and I go a little crazy with it.
Speaker 9: But Will's been coaching me up, helping me be a
Speaker 9: better team.
Speaker 2: Coach, Willie Man, you get him honed in. He's a weapon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I see the way he when I
Speaker 4: die very quickly and call it duty and have the
Speaker 4: luxury of watching him.

Speaker 4: how to use a weapon.

Speaker 4: Power Slap will be at UFC. Obviously you will have
Speaker 4: all the bets for you guys, and all that get
Speaker 4: to be an exciting, exciting time. Main card. Alex Pereira
Speaker 4: this man, and I'll tell you right now, I'll give
Speaker 4: you a little spoiler alert. Alex Peyra will be in
Speaker 4: my parlays. He will be in a solo bet as well,
Speaker 4: and it might be a knockout because what I witness
Speaker 4: last time this man staid in the octagon was truly incredible.
Speaker 4: JPTE knows what I'm talking about. This dude with the drums,
Speaker 4: the music, the bow and arrow, which he may or
Speaker 4: may not stole from me, the screaming, the stare down,
Speaker 4: the lake cake, all of it. Dude, I got Alex
Speaker 4: Pereira in a big way.
Speaker 2: JP.
Speaker 6: What do they have those odds at right there?
Speaker 2: Perrera right now is minus one twenty and what's on
Speaker 2: clov minus one oh six.
Speaker 6: It's dude, This one UFC is tough to bet on anyways,
Speaker 6: just because everybody does have a punch of chance. But
Speaker 6: on klav is A He's a beast on the ground,
Speaker 6: He's a big dude, has some man hands on him.
Speaker 6: I think Pereira is gonna win, but this will be
Speaker 6: a fight. I think we won't have seen this Alex
Speaker 6: Pereira before in this fight because he won't be able
Speaker 6: to be the normal one. I don't think.
Speaker 4: Tell me why we won't see this Alex Peira.
Speaker 6: This is what he's gonna be better, I think because
Speaker 6: a lot of people are out there talking on him, like,
Speaker 6: you know, I think somebody tagged you in that video
Speaker 6: as well. That fan he was like, what's one mma fighting?
Speaker 6: You think you could beat in a fight? He's like
Speaker 6: Alex Perera, He's like, I'm a college wrestler. That guy
Speaker 6: doesn't know anything about wrestling. Obviously, he does know a
Speaker 6: lot about wrestling. He works with Glover to share a
Speaker 6: But I think we're gonna see his ground game elevate
Speaker 6: and he'll get it done. He'll probably I think he
Speaker 6: will knock him out. But I wouldn't be shocked if
Speaker 6: von Klav does, like you're.
Speaker 2: Saying, if van Klav does, it's gonna be on the
Speaker 2: ground right on.
Speaker 4: And Geigie's fighting as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah against Physiev, which is a rematch and.
Speaker 2: The last go back, go back to those odds, Mitch, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Geechee right now plus four. I just want to ride
Speaker 2: Gae Chee because I saw him quote tweet that video
Speaker 2: of him getting knocked out in that in that uh
Speaker 2: Halloway fight. Yeah, where he's like on the ground.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that they fight correct point into the middle.
Speaker 4: With the last ten seconds stuff, Halloway kind of pieced
Speaker 4: up Gee Chee. He won that fight. That fight was
Speaker 4: pretty much over. He could have ran away for eight
Speaker 4: des but Halloway to sit there point in the middle
Speaker 4: of the ring and be like, let's give these people
Speaker 4: a show and still give them that little bank on
Speaker 4: the chin was being incredible.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 6: For that reason, I don't feel as good about him,
Speaker 6: because I feel like with these guys that are a
Speaker 6: little bit older. Obviously he's still young in normal people world,
Speaker 6: but he's like he's taking the big knockout and then
Speaker 6: fall off happens fast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm saying I want to write
Speaker 2: him just because I love how he needs to love
Speaker 2: into the fray of like, yeah, you guys can see
Speaker 2: me just seizing out on the ground right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's like, this is why I do it.

Speaker 4: I'm gonna I think I put a couple bets. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna put out some bet with your heart bets and
Speaker 4: then that with your brain bets. But and we'll we'll
Speaker 4: just we'll have both of them. We'll be separated. You
Speaker 4: guys will know which ones are which. But I think
Speaker 4: we got to put something on Gaechie for sure, just
Speaker 4: to see the heart, to fight the soul.
Speaker 2: This is why I do it.
Speaker 4: While Pulsa in the ground. You've won me over, You've
Speaker 4: absolutely won me over.
Speaker 2: And then after you have see the boys will be
Speaker 2: out in Montana again later this month. We will be
Speaker 2: doing a collab with Meat Eater, so Steve Rannella will
Speaker 2: be and Cal shout out the boy cow. What was
Speaker 2: their dog's name again.
Speaker 4: Beauford, I don't know his name.
Speaker 2: That's a great name.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that hates his dog, Steve.
Speaker 4: It seems like a lot of people are hating on
Speaker 4: the dog too.
Speaker 10: I like the dog.
Speaker 4: I know the dog was most one of the most
Speaker 4: well trained dogs I've ever seen. In a couple of
Speaker 4: comments were like, yes, dog's not trained at all. I'm
Speaker 4: thinking you have not met my dogs.
Speaker 2: You haven't met waffle, Yeah that is, that'll be.
Speaker 6: Or we can't say.
Speaker 2: The meat eater.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. If we can't say what we're doing,
Speaker 4: let's leave.
Speaker 2: That up in the air where it was so fun. One.
Speaker 4: There's levels right when duck honey lie year, we're hitting
Speaker 4: a new level this year. But that kind of that's
Speaker 4: a bit of a deal. Quarter mile, I said, quarter
Speaker 4: mile snow Yeah, is there?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: They said they got a lot of snows this year,
Speaker 4: Montana dude be Going there the first time was a
Speaker 4: little nerve wracking because you know how these men's men
Speaker 4: were going to be ended up being the most hospitable
Speaker 4: individuals of all time. Like Steve Ranella is one of
Speaker 4: those guys that you're just like, you want to impress
Speaker 4: him and someone you want him to tell you a
Speaker 4: good job. We didn't get that last time. Hopefully this
Speaker 4: time we'll get something like that. But there's a there's
Speaker 4: a comfort factor about walking back in there and being
Speaker 4: like we're going to see the boys now, not meet
Speaker 4: the boys.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Coach is hard.
Speaker 4: Coach is hard if we're being dumbasses to you're being dumbasses.
Speaker 6: But he he thinks highly of the boys because I
Speaker 6: told y'all last week I sat next to the guy
Speaker 6: at church that owns the land in Montana that we're
Speaker 6: going to, and he was showing me the text and
Speaker 6: he was like, I have the busting with the boys
Speaker 6: guys coming out to the farm. The guy sitting next
Speaker 6: to me was like, who is that? He was like,
Speaker 6: the are these two guys that used to play in
Speaker 6: the NFL. They're really funny. You need to check them out.
Speaker 6: They're good, they're a good time stay. But they don't
Speaker 6: know anything about like tools or anything.
Speaker 4: I didn't know we are worthless.
Speaker 2: They don't know about tools, but they're funny. God feels
Speaker 2: good with not a lot of emotion. So just knowing
Speaker 2: he sent a message like that his heartwarming, which.
Speaker 4: Is exactly how you'd want it to You wouldn't want
Speaker 4: to say it to your face. You'd want to hear
Speaker 4: it from somebody. A game of telephone be played so
Speaker 4: you can hear something. One thing Sam's got up here?
Speaker 2: Do you want? Sham asks a question because I know
Speaker 2: he just dies to get this.
Speaker 4: Let it out.
Speaker 9: I think the sorry, Hey, should we all go paintballing?
Speaker 9: Like as a group?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 9: That could be fun. It could be a good vlog opportunity.
Speaker 9: We get it sponsored.
Speaker 4: Thoughts.
Speaker 2: You want my real thoughts? Yeah, this is a no brainer.
Speaker 2: Even if they're even there were no cameras and there
Speaker 2: wasn't a sponsor. Whatever it is. Pain balling is so fun.
Speaker 4: I did not think that's how you were gonna what
Speaker 4: you're gonna say?
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, we go.
Speaker 4: You want to hear my real thoughts. I thought he's
Speaker 4: about to shoot this down so hard and I'm having
Speaker 4: to come in as their daddy just hit the kid
Speaker 4: at the dinner table. Hey, listen, he's just stressed out
Speaker 4: right now, like he's taking me a right. I agree
Speaker 4: with one hundred percent. We should absolutely go paintballing done.
Speaker 4: Put the face paint on all of it would be awesome.
Speaker 4: It'd be nice. There is like a little army base
Speaker 4: around here. We can figure something out about us versus
Speaker 4: like sixty seven cats that are like legit, no, the
Speaker 4: way the way cats operate on the paint, would they
Speaker 4: not be so much fun?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: But I can give myself a little spots now. Forgot
Speaker 4: about my story. I can get hilarious to worry about me.
Speaker 4: They'll need to worry about me. I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 4: I'm an issue out there.
Speaker 2: Have you hit paintball courses once?
Speaker 4: And I was?
Speaker 10: I was average.
Speaker 1: It is so.
Speaker 2: When one of your boys growing up would have like
Speaker 2: a paintball a paintball party and just you and the
Speaker 2: dads would travel out to a course and just play
Speaker 2: all day long, like it is so much fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like Bontaira is like where the courses are.
Speaker 2: There's some courses out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are some courses out there, he said, travel
Speaker 4: out to a course like win around the block.
Speaker 2: People dudes loved it so much. Like you just play.
Speaker 2: You just go off in the woods somewhere and set up,
Speaker 2: set up shop and play. Yeah, we're fun, bro. And
Speaker 2: then it's like your first time playing, so you're like
Speaker 2: you'll get camoed up or wear too much clothing and
Speaker 2: then just the afternoon hits and it's like what are
Speaker 2: we doing? Then you're out there with T shirts on.
Speaker 2: It hurts a little bit more, a lot more actually,
Speaker 2: but it's fun, man. But you do not want to
Speaker 2: get with going against some special force younit even some
Speaker 2: paintball team, like you get pegged and it's over and
Speaker 2: they're flying. I'm talking a quick trigger out there.
Speaker 4: You're trying to set up you know, you know your boy,
Speaker 4: I'm let me, let me defend this a little bit,
Speaker 4: because I still feel good about it. We should go
Speaker 4: out as a group have a little fun. They let's
Speaker 4: let the amateurs play a little bit, grow up, figure
Speaker 4: out the gun, figure out the way, and who's good
Speaker 4: who's not. I think eventually it'd be fun to see
Speaker 4: if we could just get one of them, like you
Speaker 4: know how they do like hostage situations. Maybe we're the
Speaker 4: host like the uh, we're the bad guys I don't know,
Speaker 4: I don't know the right term to use, or the
Speaker 4: bad guys and.
Speaker 2: They gotta get us.
Speaker 4: I think that'd be so much fun, especially if you're
Speaker 4: getting banked once, like here's real bullets will when I'm
Speaker 4: gonna die?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but here's the problem. We're going out
Speaker 2: to this course and we'll probably be renting all of
Speaker 2: our equipment for the most part. These people come in
Speaker 2: and they have their own weapons, they have their own everything, right,
Speaker 2: and I'm telling you, the paint is flying yes, and
Speaker 2: so you're getting Hiteah, Yeah, you're getting hit like it's
Speaker 2: an automatic.
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I'm not saying like I'm still down.
Speaker 4: I still gonna be a lot of fun. We'll get
Speaker 4: out there. Let's get out of there, just us. I
Speaker 4: could see that we're gett a little push back. That's
Speaker 4: all right, Let's get better. Let's become a good team.
Speaker 9: Something I have heard is that the rental uh baseline
Speaker 9: has gone up. They used to just hand you a
Speaker 9: tipman a five with like a regular hopperment that wasn't
Speaker 9: electric and stuff.
Speaker 10: I've heard that.
Speaker 2: He starts cracking while you're shooting, like my ship's not working.
Speaker 2: Then you're just getting pelted.
Speaker 9: Yes, I've heard that the baseline for rentals has gone up,
Speaker 9: So that's a good sign. Also, I think you guys
Speaker 9: should draft the boys. You all should be team captains.
Speaker 9: You all should draft, and we should do at least
Speaker 9: one busting with the Boys. On busting with the Boys,
Speaker 9: capture the flag game agreed.
Speaker 1: The end.
Speaker 6: Delaney, Yeah, we should do it on his property.
Speaker 2: Which which one Claire Delaney. You guys see Delaney's.
Speaker 1: Uh, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: That barn dominion the barn god thirteen thousand square feet.
Speaker 4: Looks like that's what that.
Speaker 2: Man's up on him. I think trying to take down
Speaker 2: a couple of trees. Just doing his own thing.
Speaker 6: Because he pulled up on coop he did buh.
Speaker 1: It was.

Speaker 4: Oh my god, he got first. Of course, bro, I love.
Speaker 2: On Thursday. If Delaney wants to pull up to the
Speaker 2: to the go karts on Saturday.
Speaker 4: He said he asked all the boys and they couldn't
Speaker 4: do it. And then he kind of like half asked
Speaker 4: asked me, said I know you probably can't. I was like, dude, no,
Speaker 4: I have two kids, Like I'm not gonna I can't.
Speaker 2: It's just last minute because one of their boys and
Speaker 2: the bacher party dropped out right, so they were looking
Speaker 2: for an extra fill in.
Speaker 10: But I did tell him.
Speaker 4: I was like, you should h up Delaney. He's like,
Speaker 4: you think he'll come. I was like, Delaney loves that
Speaker 4: f one place. He will for sure go and he
Speaker 4: one after he goes.
Speaker 2: And wins the whole thing.

Speaker 6: I'm there.

Speaker 4: be so much fun to do.

Speaker 7: that k one.
Speaker 4: The honor system though what the honor system Airsoft is
Speaker 4: a little different because you can't like see who you

Speaker 4: let me be different. We do this, Dad combine and uh,
Speaker 4: we have to mow Alon. By the way, there's no award.
Speaker 4: There's no punishment if you get last place. It's just

Speaker 4: comes over to me and goes, we're gonna win this
Speaker 4: for sure, Like, yeah, what are you talking about, guys,
Speaker 4: don't worry. Took care of it. So we start mowing
Speaker 4: and their lawnmower turns off and I'm like, I don't

Speaker 4: their gas line. I'm like, you understand. I feel like
Speaker 4: the father in that situation talking to like, you know
Speaker 4: when your dad's like, hey, you are representing me when
Speaker 4: you go and mess something up. I had to like
Speaker 4: have that talk with David, like you know, you understand.
Speaker 4: Like people are saying, oh, that's good because Taylor cheats.
Speaker 4: Now you cheat.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Speaker 4: I eat that comment and the thing to think, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean he's on a percent, right.

Speaker 6: making too?
Speaker 2: Yeah? They hit like a hammer of some part in
Speaker 2: the building process.
Speaker 4: I just found out about that a couple of days ago.
Speaker 4: By the way, what you guys started hiding parts at
Speaker 4: the grill?
Speaker 2: I don't think we did. You have to check the
Speaker 2: tape on that. Yeah, I'm tripping.
Speaker 6: I thought y'all were hiding it. You were hiding it.
Speaker 2: No, they've they've tried hiding something at first, but it
Speaker 2: was like an obvious thing. And then like later on,
Speaker 2: when it was close, I threw some part. Hey, they're
Speaker 2: going to need this part. Yeah, I just threw like
Speaker 2: up under something that.
Speaker 4: Makes me feel a little bit better. That makes me
Speaker 4: feel a little bit better.
Speaker 2: Look at us, you know, and it is. It's like, Yo,
Speaker 2: we're just mowing a patch of grass.
Speaker 6: The damn mower won't start.
Speaker 4: Damn more sounds like the gas they fool that.

Speaker 2: this this this bus. If you haven't learned already, we're
Speaker 2: massive fans of mister Milchick. The weird the weirdness of
Speaker 2: this show is all time, and mister Milchick just he's
Speaker 2: becoming one of my favorites on the show.
Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, he's he's started off rocky in season one,
Speaker 11: but now you get to season two when he's the
Speaker 11: main manager, and I feel like he's he's got a
Speaker 11: backstory that.
Speaker 10: We need to hear about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's gonna switch up. He's gonna switch
Speaker 2: for sure by the end of the series. I don't
Speaker 2: know how.
Speaker 10: I don't know when.
Speaker 2: He's just gonna continue to learn that it's it's him
Speaker 2: against corporate. He's just gonna learn that he's just a cogit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's a new puppet, like when he's in the in
Speaker 2: the mirror, grow grow, like trying to dumb down his
Speaker 2: language because he says too many big words in his
Speaker 2: performance review.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but it's awesome the way he talks.
Speaker 6: But this episode that we just watched with Gemma, did
Speaker 6: y'all do y'all have any idea what the numbers might
Speaker 6: be that Mark ask.
Speaker 2: And the crew has no clue about the numbers. So
Speaker 2: I was seeing that, you know how, now are you
Speaker 2: watching like a recap on YouTube that's a breakdown on
Speaker 2: TikTok Actually love it shut TikTok. Yeah, And so this
Speaker 2: guy was saying that, you know how, Jemma is going
Speaker 2: into all those different rooms right, and there's something wrong
Speaker 2: with each one. Her hand is hurting when she's right.
Speaker 2: In the thank you notes, it's always Christmas. Also with
Speaker 2: the thank you notes flashback when they're doing her in
Speaker 2: Mark's story, She's like, I'll write a thank you note.
Speaker 2: Mark's like, you hate writing thank you notes. That was
Speaker 2: in their normal one and then in her severed self
Speaker 2: she's writing thank you notes. So there was a few
Speaker 2: things that she didn't like in her.
Speaker 6: Outside world that she was doing in her any world
Speaker 6: that she also didn't like. And so what they're saying,
Speaker 6: they're trying to make the progress and they think these
Speaker 6: numbers might be the progress to where she got. She's
Speaker 6: getting severed into four different like people, four different roles,
Speaker 6: like the one that's doing Christmas all the time, and
Speaker 6: that Mark is the one that's doing it with these
Speaker 6: numbers and is like the one completing her severed like
Speaker 6: her severed brain into all these different people on.
Speaker 2: Things that she doesn't like to do. Mark's the one
Speaker 2: fulfilling those twas.
Speaker 6: Right to get you severed fully to where now like
Speaker 6: you don't have bad experiences ever in your life. Kiera's
Speaker 6: trying to create a perfect a perfect world where nothing
Speaker 6: is bad. But the only way to do it is
Speaker 6: to make these people do things they don't like and
Speaker 6: somehow rewire their.
Speaker 11: Brain so it's like a programming system.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I heard.
Speaker 2: I just felt so bad for Jim. And when she
Speaker 2: finally makes it to the elevator because I wanted her
Speaker 2: to drop that old bag that was chasing her, Like
Speaker 2: she dropped that one dude in the room and she's running,
Speaker 2: I'm thinking you can score up on this old broad
Speaker 2: because she probably signaled up to milcheck when she's going
Speaker 2: up the elevator. She gets severed, goes off the elevator
Speaker 2: and then he's mister milchick just pops in, what are
Speaker 2: you doing up here?
Speaker 6: God?
Speaker 2: And she's curious about Mark as like I've been down
Speaker 2: there long enough.
Speaker 11: Takes different rooms, I mean, like yeah, all the names too,
Speaker 11: for the rooms that are so key that they show
Speaker 11: in the shot, and then Coop brought up a good
Speaker 11: point that on Mark's desk of the little face thing
Speaker 11: of his, it says Mark s Allentown. So there's got
Speaker 11: to be some sort of tie back to that room,
Speaker 11: that room before them.
Speaker 2: Because we've seen what cold Harbor that's the Yeah, this
Speaker 2: is one that's going to change the course of Lumen forever.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: I'm curious too how the whole death is going to
Speaker 2: unfold with Jemma, because Mark, as the Chinese restaurant talks
Speaker 2: about I saw her body and then we see in
Speaker 2: this episode with Jemma the cops kind of come up
Speaker 2: to the door, and I'm curious kind of what happens
Speaker 2: after that, like what he actually sees.
Speaker 6: Now I thought, because I thought he said to his
Speaker 6: sister at one point, which, by the way, people are
Speaker 6: starting to say, I think sure might even first put
Speaker 6: me on this that his sister is bad and working
Speaker 6: with lumin because working with Loomin because her first reaction
Speaker 6: after Mark's thing went down was to call miss Kobel
Speaker 6: even though she knew and they're saying this was like
Speaker 6: intricate detail when they zoom in on her phone, she's
Speaker 6: using a droid Apple is very keen on not letting people,
Speaker 6: not letting villains use their product in Apple shows, in
Speaker 6: Apple shows, So they're like, because she's aroid, it's.
Speaker 2: Only you're sitting here talking with everybody with We do
Speaker 2: it all like once, we're like, hey, who's watched the show?
Speaker 2: And we go into like the streaming room and just
Speaker 2: talk shop like you're at a workspace. You're teaming up
Speaker 2: with everybody who watches the latest episode where they show
Speaker 2: you a lot but also show you nothing at all,
Speaker 2: and you're just talking theories the entire time. And this
Speaker 2: is one of those shows.
Speaker 6: And the last crazy piece I saw was you know
Speaker 6: when they first meet and they're sitting down with each
Speaker 6: other and like she's filling out some paperwork or whatever,
Speaker 6: when they're getting those ivs. Yeah, the top of her
Speaker 6: things was loomin.
Speaker 10: That's exactly what Cooper said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, when, yeah, when they were first going in
Speaker 2: to talk about them like were they doing IVF? Were
Speaker 2: they trying to do IVF?
Speaker 6: No, No, I'm talking about when they first met. Oh okay, okay,
Speaker 6: like when they're sitting there and at the library.
Speaker 2: Or wherever they're at.
Speaker 11: Then maybe I misunderstood the time before what Coop was
Speaker 11: talking about must have been.
Speaker 2: I think also said that like when there's been multiple
Speaker 2: He was saying, like when they sit down as a
Speaker 2: couple to talk about meeting with somebody to help them
Speaker 2: get pregnant, that the that the dentist or whoever in
Speaker 2: Loomen he like walks back, he's he's in like he
Speaker 2: like walks past in that text in a group text
Speaker 2: somebody that.
Speaker 9: You or Coop did No, I saw that on TikTok.
Speaker 9: And not to derail this conversation at all, but just
Speaker 9: a nerdy shout out that the cinematography in this last
Speaker 9: episode they shot all those flashbacks on film insane. Anybody
Speaker 9: that is just like a fan of cinematography of film,
Speaker 9: Holy moly, like storytelling with outlines just like beautifully shot
Speaker 9: it was.
Speaker 11: Wasn't it the first episode with a new director too?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first one where you don't se Ben Stiller
Speaker 2: is at the top of the.
Speaker 9: Crowd directorial debut. That director had been a cinematographer their
Speaker 9: entire career and then come on directorial debut, crushed it insane.
Speaker 10: What a crazy episode.
Speaker 6: Because they also serve you, I might need your help
Speaker 6: on this one because it was I think Jemma said
Speaker 6: to Mark ask hey, like where are you right now?
Speaker 6: And then his sister also said that to him when
Speaker 6: he comes to after he's unconscious. So that's another reason why.
Speaker 11: They were so that they think, yeah, that thin. Do
Speaker 11: you think she's tied to Lumen because of Ricken?
Speaker 6: I don't know, man, I think as well, because.
Speaker 11: They asked the last time we saw Ricken, they asked
Speaker 11: him to write the book for Lumen.
Speaker 9: I know, I still want to believe she's good, but
Speaker 9: there is there is just a ton of and I
Speaker 9: could be totally wrong for fans of the show, but
Speaker 9: they have mentioned that there has never been any shots
Speaker 9: of the sister by herself being angry with Lumen, not
Speaker 9: trusting Luman when she's around Ricken and she comes in,
Speaker 9: Natalie's in the room like she's around Ricken, so she's
Speaker 9: like acting that way towards Natalie, and then she leaves
Speaker 9: and she's more upset about Ricken's writing that he's changing
Speaker 9: the writing, not really talking bad about Lumen. It's it
Speaker 9: definitely is an out there conspiracy theory. It probably won't
Speaker 9: be true, but it does. It's fun to think about,
Speaker 9: like does she kind of know already that there's stuff
Speaker 9: going on that Jima and Mark signed up for this.
Speaker 10: Together.
Speaker 11: Who have we not seen their outside world yet? Milcheck?
Speaker 11: Is he the only person we haven't seen?
Speaker 10: Like there his audi?
Speaker 6: Well he is, because he's their business whenever he's out
Speaker 6: of work, pulling up with fruit baskets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is just around the clock the entire time.
Speaker 1: All the time.
Speaker 6: But for how much longer? There's a long coming for
Speaker 6: that seat?
Speaker 2: I know?
Speaker 6: And did they ever change mister Blick's desktop?
Speaker 2: Well, oh where he's like? Yeah, yeah, where he's just.
Speaker 1: Right right right?
Speaker 6: I need that for him? There he is.
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you're not watching Severance because this show
Speaker 2: is unreal, Yeah, this show is unreal. All right, Tailor
Speaker 2: you can tag back in. I'm coming back guys.
Speaker 9: A Taylor crushed the photography back here, by the way,
Speaker 9: he legitimately took some really good pics of y'all.
Speaker 1: Switch.
Speaker 2: Just how long we've been rolling?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 4: You know what's awesome is I have not seen Severance.
Speaker 4: I know, avention, I'm going to see Severance. The way
Speaker 4: my personality works is like everyone will watch it and
Speaker 4: then a year from now, I'm like, Bro, have you
Speaker 4: guys heard a severance and he will be like, yeah,
Speaker 4: this shows dope, and then I'll try to talk about
Speaker 4: with you guys for a month and a half and
Speaker 4: then it'll be over, just like suits. And the good
Speaker 4: news is I sat there on my phone and my
Speaker 4: add took over and I didn't hear a word y'all said.
Speaker 4: Heard some about a desktop, though, hurt something aout a desktop.
Speaker 4: Hopefully that's it. A couple more things than we'll get
Speaker 4: out of here. We'll get it to a very wholesome,
Speaker 4: wonderful podcast and a couple of OG's. Matthew Stafford signs
Speaker 4: with the Rams. How much is that contract? Do we
Speaker 4: know how much that was? Because that I feel like
Speaker 4: he wanted fifty.
Speaker 2: I want to say A source told me that the
Speaker 2: Raiders and the Jets Giants Raiders Giants, one of the
Speaker 2: New York teams, we're offering him forty five and the
Speaker 2: Rams were offering him forty. So sure enough when we
Speaker 2: were talking about that last week, retire over forty million dollars.
Speaker 2: But I know that they met the Rams and Stafford
Speaker 2: they met over the weekend in person. Obviously struck a
Speaker 2: deal huge for the Rams. There was a part of
Speaker 2: me for a minute. I'm like, Man of the Raiders,
Speaker 2: is he about to go to the Silver and Black Lives?
Speaker 4: That would have been huge him, Pete Carroll, Max Crosby
Speaker 4: in Vegas Allegiant Stadium, there were the nuts. If he
Speaker 4: was with the chip Kelly Yes, what a crazy office.
Speaker 4: I wonder how Matthew Stafford thirty seven years old would
Speaker 4: do it at chip Kelly offense. Would be interesting, would
Speaker 4: be interesting to see chip Kelly and how good of
Speaker 4: a coach he is well to adapt to a corback
Speaker 4: that doesn't run.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's cool that he's sticking with McVeigh. Him
Speaker 2: and they all worked it out because you saw McVeigh.
Speaker 2: He went on what's their pod? Big Witt and fits.
Speaker 4: Went and fits just I think it's Wit and fits
Speaker 4: the maybe fits great podcast. Those guys are all.
Speaker 2: Trying fits Magic. But he was having a real candid conversation.
Speaker 2: It was cool to like listen to. I saw all
Speaker 2: the clips that were going on where he's talking about
Speaker 2: the Stafford negotiation, talking future, what you have to plan for?
Speaker 4: Fits in with oh perfect, Yeah, fits in with good podcast.
Speaker 4: Couple of legends, great guys. Andrew Whitworth one of the
Speaker 4: seventy sevens. Yeah, respect that man debo, but hold on,
Speaker 4: just on the Matthew We'll cook on the Matthew Stafford thing.
Speaker 4: Diana Rassini has her own show and she had Chase
Speaker 4: Chase Daniel. Yeah on there, and you guys are talking
Speaker 4: about the whole retire thing. That is the dumbest fucking
Speaker 4: thing I've ever heard of my life, The whole if
Speaker 4: you're only gonna get forty million dollars, you should retire
Speaker 4: and made me rethink the conversation that we were having
Speaker 4: on the bus last week, being like, yeah, okay, something
Speaker 4: needs If your reason for retiring is just you're getting
Speaker 4: forty million dollars inteat of fifty million dollars, the only
Speaker 4: reason why you should ever retire from a sport is
Speaker 4: injury or you don't love it anymore. Those are really
Speaker 4: the two things to get out of jail free cards
Speaker 4: in my mind, Like, I'm sure there's a couple of
Speaker 4: things I'm not thinking about, but to walk away when
Speaker 4: you're like, hey, we're only going to pay you forty
Speaker 4: million dollars for a year of working, and you feeling
Speaker 4: that's disrespected by.
Speaker 2: It amount because he's made so much fucking money throughout
Speaker 2: his career. It's different if it was like, you know,
Speaker 2: you're trying to get nine million and they're only offering
Speaker 2: you two or three, and just thinking to myself like, yeah,
Speaker 2: how much do I love the game anymore? Do I
Speaker 2: love the game enough to play for two?
Speaker 10: Everyone?
Speaker 4: If you play long enough, you will get to that point.
Speaker 4: But forty is way different than two, Way different than
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. And I think this Chase
Speaker 4: Daniel's cat, Like I watched the video and I'm thinking, like,
Speaker 4: no disrespect to the cat, but he's speed up the tone.
Speaker 4: I all want to speed up the tone when he
Speaker 4: speaks a little bit because it does I'm like, hey,
Speaker 4: where we like, let's let's get it going. And he's
Speaker 4: saying if I was him, I would retire, And I
Speaker 4: thought I got to turn this ship off right now.
Speaker 1: I was crazy.
Speaker 2: You're messaging back and forth. He's like, yeah, I might
Speaker 2: win a little overboard. You're laughing back and forth.
Speaker 1: He's a good guys.
Speaker 2: It's just like bro, yeah, oh yeah, quarterback from a zoo.
Speaker 2: I mean he was a Sun and he was kind
Speaker 2: of like one of those journeyman backups where he's getting
Speaker 2: a nice chunk of cash just to be the backup
Speaker 2: because he could be four years. Yeah, yeah, no, like
Speaker 2: more than that. No, she was getting pull up.
Speaker 8: He was making like ten or fifteen a year bring
Speaker 8: back up.
Speaker 4: Maybe he would have retired for forty ven. I don't know,
Speaker 4: but him the way, Just when I saw that clip
Speaker 4: and I went and rewatched the interview itself, just the
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford portion, Yeah, it turned me off. It fires
Speaker 4: me up that you're same clips.
Speaker 2: For the internet though, for everybody to argue over and
Speaker 2: breakdown fires me up. You're saying he's a good dude.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he made forty one mill in his career, Super
Speaker 6: Bowl Champion with the Saints in twenty ten and he
Speaker 6: played with one, two, three, four, five, six seven teams.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Nice, he's in a nice backup role's getting paid too.
Speaker 1: He was.
Speaker 2: He was insane in college.
Speaker 6: Man because then Blamed Gabbert came right after him.
Speaker 12: Oh so Missouri had a couple of yeah your eight
Speaker 12: years and that was the crazy eight season where it
Speaker 12: was between Kansas and Missouri for the Big twelve North
Speaker 12: championship representation.
Speaker 9: It was number one versus number two, Kansas versus Miszoo.
Speaker 2: Crazy because that year, I want to say, Miszoo beat
Speaker 2: Oklahoma when Oklahoma was number one, and that's when they
Speaker 2: stormed the field and Missoo was just having a hell
Speaker 2: of a run. They were having a hell of a run.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But that's all I had to say about the Chase
Speaker 4: Danil thing fires me up. That he says a good
Speaker 4: dude and you know him personally. Yeah, Because when I'm
Speaker 4: watching that, I'm just thinking this is madness. I was
Speaker 4: sitting in the I was sitting our den and I'm
Speaker 4: just watching the video Will Jersey and set up for
Speaker 4: the Red dead stream. I'm just like fuming on that
Speaker 4: chair by myself, like, what the fuck are we talking
Speaker 4: about here? So good fire has been put out? Devote
Speaker 4: the commanders. Go ahead, debot the commanders. I think that's
Speaker 4: a big move. Now, debo he's got the injury history
Speaker 4: as of recent but I feel like trading getting just
Speaker 4: traded for a fifth round pick, that's like big potential
Speaker 4: upside for somebody who's like a utility dog out of
Speaker 4: the backfield and the slot wherever you want to put him.
Speaker 4: The creativity in a Klingsbury offense. I think it's a
Speaker 4: big win for Washington. Yeah, you just hope he stays healthy.
Speaker 6: Because they have other weapons too. It's not like it's
Speaker 6: just on Deebo.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: I think that's gonna make him even more dangerous and it.
Speaker 2: Helps opens up those guys on the outside.
Speaker 10: Again.
Speaker 2: If he can stay healthy and he's got the chip
Speaker 2: a boulder on a shoulder because he got traded for
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick, I think it's it's big upside.
Speaker 2: It's not a lot of it's not a whole lot
Speaker 2: of risk because you know what you're getting in again,
Speaker 2: you just gave away a fifth round pick.
Speaker 4: Right, Deebo strikes me as a perfect candidate to add
Speaker 4: the boulder on the shoulder for a fifth round pick
Speaker 4: trade like he is that guy's going to take that
Speaker 4: personal and the best way possible. The utility weapon like
Speaker 4: he's saying. The word utility guy can often be seen
Speaker 4: as an insult when it comes to Debo. We're able
Speaker 4: to put him all over the field except for the
Speaker 4: starting five offensive line, like he is a weapon that
Speaker 4: you have to account for every single week when he's
Speaker 4: on the field. Hopefully sustains those things, not having so
Speaker 4: many injuries like he did this past year, but the
Speaker 4: dude is an absolute stud. Game Cock go Cox, game cap.
Speaker 4: But this is this is a perfect example of winning.
Speaker 4: In the draft. You get a guy like Jane Daniels
Speaker 4: where you're like, yo, we have a team that could win.
Speaker 4: Now we need a couple more pieces. Juice up the
Speaker 4: offensive line a little bit, get the defense to get
Speaker 4: in that top ten, you know, get out of that
Speaker 4: middle of the pack range. You have the affordability to
Speaker 4: go and get and take on a large contract like
Speaker 4: Deebo Samuel because you have a quarterback that's on their
Speaker 4: first contract in the NFL. If you're able to do that,
Speaker 4: these next three years for the Commanders are gonna be one.
Speaker 4: You're like, hey, Jake and legit, go and win it.
Speaker 6: They could go and win a nice window.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a great window. And as long as Jane stays healthy. Man,
Speaker 4: as long as he stays healthy, because he does take
Speaker 4: some hits. He falls gracefully, but he takes some hits. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he said, yeah, I had that. I was talking about
Speaker 4: that in the season. Like he does know when he's
Speaker 4: like out out of like there's too many guys around him,
Speaker 4: so he gets down. But there's a couple he's getting
Speaker 4: like tossed doing somersaults in the air, and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 4: how do we avoid those couple of boys right there?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 4: So, I think the Commanders are in a good spot.
Speaker 4: If you're a Commander's fan, if you're a part of
Speaker 4: the Commander's team, you're sitting there, you're smiling, going, hey,
Speaker 4: we got a shot this year.
Speaker 2: Looking at a good futures bet, good sports book, good
Speaker 2: futures bet.
Speaker 4: Let's just look it up on the Fandel sports book
Speaker 4: right now, pull it up.
Speaker 6: Well, they're looking it up. The Bills also, they've they've
Speaker 6: put their bid in for Miles Garrett. No ship if
Speaker 6: they could land.
Speaker 4: Him, buddy, if they can land him, I know the Bills.
Speaker 2: The Bills are just in the spot where nothing matters,
Speaker 2: nothing matters except for the super Bowl. Right what there's
Speaker 2: is this for to win the super Bowl?
Speaker 4: That's for the Super Bowl plus two thousands. It might
Speaker 4: be time to jump.
Speaker 2: In, be fun to jump in and ride?
Speaker 4: Yeah, why not? I think this year we should do
Speaker 4: that too. Is all kind of pick a team that's
Speaker 4: out of our norm and be like, okay, we're gonna
Speaker 4: ride with when you when we start talking with the Bills,
Speaker 4: That's why I started thinking about that, because you want
Speaker 4: the Bills to win it. Man, you want the Bills bad.
Speaker 4: Was this NFC?
Speaker 9: Nope, just super Bowl. I don't see AFC NFC yet.
Speaker 2: Like division and conference, got you got you don't take
Speaker 2: a little time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, drafts gotta go buy for agency all that.
Speaker 11: I wonder if those are I wonder if those are
Speaker 11: odds before the debo contract or since the debo contract.
Speaker 4: It's a great question.
Speaker 2: I bet it since Yeah, I was gonna say, I
Speaker 2: bet it's I bet it updates very very thinking about
Speaker 2: what it was. Gambling world, if it was that different.
Speaker 4: Commander Super Bowl.
Speaker 9: Champs, Bangles are sitting there pretty high.
Speaker 4: They gotta fix our defense for not making the play.
Speaker 4: They gotta fix that defense. If they can fix the defense,
Speaker 4: they could win it all next year. Question for Will
Speaker 4: Compton if the Commanders win the Super Bowl, were the
Speaker 4: changes you get a ring? Oh eighty twenty?
Speaker 1: Who knows?
Speaker 2: Probably a fat zero, a fat goose.
Speaker 4: Oh really you never know? You never know? You were captain?
Speaker 2: Yeah, who knows? How they treat their alumni.
Speaker 4: We'll find out if the Raiders will not probably get
Speaker 4: a ring, No shit.
Speaker 2: The way that they treat their alumni, no doubt, man.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying all teams treat their alumni badly.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like it's crazy. I feel like with
Speaker 2: the with the Raiders email, the alumni email, the access
Speaker 2: that they give them, just all of it.
Speaker 4: And if you're always reaching out, if you had the
Speaker 4: luxury of playing for a few teams like you, did
Speaker 4: you get to compare contrast these other teams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, alumni, Yeah, we do not there who's wrong out
Speaker 2: the red cart? Who's going to recruit?
Speaker 4: Raiders are number one by far?
Speaker 1: Do you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, Okay, Washington is up there because again, Washington
Speaker 2: is where I spent most of my career. That's where
Speaker 2: I have my best football memories besides as far as
Speaker 2: the luxury of recruiting.
Speaker 4: So that's twenty eighteen. Yeah, dude, we got to help
Speaker 4: a podcast for you guys today, man, Jelly and Ernest.
Speaker 2: Hey, how excited bro? Again Not to just continue to
Speaker 2: harp on Fandel the boys going independent, but this is
Speaker 2: this is the next chapter.
Speaker 10: We're in it.
Speaker 2: And for people who are curious about like, you know,
Speaker 2: the whole, the whole sellout, the whole sellout headline people
Speaker 2: act like Barstools shooting with us in the gym the
Speaker 2: entire time, like we were staying in this thing up
Speaker 2: before Barstools, they identified a great asset. People called us
Speaker 2: sellouts when we were going to Barstool. Now that we're
Speaker 2: going independent, like we're going fully independent, and for people
Speaker 2: who are having trouble wrapping their brain around it, it's like,
Speaker 2: here's an easy example as I can give. We were
Speaker 2: on the phone last week with our with our sales
Speaker 2: and everything else, talking about like what partners were going
Speaker 2: to be working with, like this deal that ultimately we're
Speaker 2: in with people like oh money, this money that like
Speaker 2: we're going to be making like overdouble what Barstool was
Speaker 2: able to offer off the few partners that we now have,
Speaker 2: whereas last year the offer that we have all encompassing
Speaker 2: for Barsol, we worked with what thirty different partners. There
Speaker 2: are times we felt like we're just saturated with our
Speaker 2: content because we're making so many.
Speaker 4: Feel that way. But you also see in the comments,
Speaker 4: you're like, hey, why there's so many ads? Why is
Speaker 4: there so much this? And it's like we weren't in
Speaker 4: control of that process.
Speaker 2: We do we're told do? Yeah, yeah, we did, contract
Speaker 2: to poper belief. We were good soldiers. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we were incredible soldiers. Can we sit there, lay on
Speaker 2: the grenade?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: So getting getting to be picky, getting to kind of
Speaker 2: just do our own thing. And again we're making the website,
Speaker 2: we're going we're going at it with our own merch,
Speaker 2: but just to kind of be a little bit more
Speaker 2: selective with our partners in the future. We're able to
Speaker 2: do that. We have full control and we get to
Speaker 2: do it the support of fan duel and I mean,
Speaker 2: it's fucking exciting.
Speaker 4: That's awesome, man, it really is. It's gonna be it's
Speaker 4: gonna be a fun few years. See where we can
Speaker 4: take this thing run around we.
Speaker 2: Can do I mean, the boys talking in the back
Speaker 2: of the bus are some whispers of a short bus podcast, Yeah,
Speaker 2: working title, Working.
Speaker 4: Shorts podcast.
Speaker 8: Comments are comments are flooding in saying I need it
Speaker 8: like I need to breathe. Oh okay, I mean I'm
Speaker 8: not that's not me saying. That's the comments that are saying.

Speaker 4: them before they break.
Speaker 1: Yeah, eyes, will you say gee, we.
Speaker 10: Can cut it?
Speaker 11: If not, but do you all want to tease the
Speaker 11: video that you are working on?
Speaker 4: The video will play before at the start of this episode.
Speaker 11: I want to talk about making it.
Speaker 2: The video is fun to make Boom making the video,
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, going into the video, it's going
Speaker 2: to be a big announcement. You're wanting anybody, whether it's
Speaker 2: the tier ones, the stoolies, people who love the who
Speaker 2: follow the podcast in industry, people who just want to
Speaker 2: know our story. It's like we wanted to craft a
Speaker 2: video they kind of like told our story. So getting
Speaker 2: to go back to where we shook hands at the
Speaker 2: Best Walk Chinese restaurant, getting to go back to the
Speaker 2: gravel parking lot, the shed behind the abandoned church, getting
Speaker 2: to hit all those spots and the guys who were
Speaker 2: shooting it to shrm JP Jared, guys who had fully
Speaker 2: grasped all the history with busting before we became where
Speaker 2: we are now. It's like we wanted to kind of
Speaker 2: capture all of those things in that video announcing our
Speaker 2: awesome partnership partnership with FanDuel. So that's kind of like
Speaker 2: what we were wanting to hit on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was really well put. There's not a whole
Speaker 4: much to add for that, but like the my favorite
Speaker 4: part of making that video was between takes kind of
Speaker 4: reminiscing on the gravel parking lot all the train that's
Speaker 4: going by right now, Hey where every bus with the
Speaker 4: Boys podcast, you're gonna get the train. Then going to
Speaker 4: the shed. Walking inside the shed, it's literally like a
Speaker 4: time capsule like our old Seltzer are Hunter Briley, one
Speaker 4: of our first sponsors, being able to see all that,
Speaker 4: like literally nothing changed we left and no one's been
Speaker 4: in that shed since we left, like three years ago.
Speaker 4: It was unlocked. And then yeah, we the church, the
Speaker 4: abandoned church. It was just it was awesome to film.
Speaker 4: It was a fun, like full day of really being
Speaker 4: able to break all this down and seeing it and
Speaker 4: then watching it come together the way it has. Man,
Speaker 4: it's it's awesome. And anybody who like tunes in for
Speaker 4: the first time, if they're like fans of Jellywell or Ernest,
Speaker 4: are they just seeing like some rumblings going on about
Speaker 4: us going into pen and they just want to check
Speaker 4: it out, Like it is a great snapshot to see
Speaker 4: like how these last five years have gone with Bust
Speaker 4: with the Boys, and it's just it's cool to see
Speaker 4: this next chapter and what's gonna what's gonna happen next.
Speaker 4: We don't know, we have an idea, but there's just
Speaker 4: so much opportunity out in front of us, and we're
Speaker 4: excited for everybody that's that's joining.
Speaker 2: And just this whole thingies like renting a fucking generator.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just a shave costs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, hey, let's rent first, because we don't know.
Speaker 4: You don't know where, you don't know.
Speaker 2: No clue.
Speaker 4: And I remember thinking like, well, like in the beginning,
Speaker 4: we'll put in he bought all the cameras and mics
Speaker 4: and everything like that. I just paid for the bus
Speaker 4: and to gut the bus and get it all kind
Speaker 4: of done up. Everythinking myself, Man, if I can make
Speaker 4: this ten thousand dollars back, that's a good investment. Like
Speaker 4: this this is it'll be a fun, good investment. And
Speaker 4: to see it truly turn into a career, it's awesome.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't happen without people watching every single week, subscribing, unsubscribing,
Speaker 4: commenting all those things and.
Speaker 2: Seeing where the industries went too. And I'm not saying
Speaker 2: like we were the pioneers and any of this, like
Speaker 2: who knows if people were pulling inspo from it, but
Speaker 2: just to see where the industry's at, where athletes are
Speaker 2: now having podcasts like it was so foreign at that time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because again the only true inspo as from athlete to
Speaker 2: podcast media was McAfee and McAfee being a pro bowler,
Speaker 2: having the big time contracts that you know he talks about,
Speaker 2: like his comedy tour, like he had a lot of
Speaker 2: things going already that allowed him to just be like, Oh,
Speaker 2: this is gonna be the move to retire because I
Speaker 2: have shit I can do. We saw it in front
Speaker 2: of him, Yeah, he saw in front of him where
Speaker 2: it's like he's like I can make this money, Like
Speaker 2: this is no big deal to walk away to where
Speaker 2: I know me personally I'm sending back. It's like you're
Speaker 2: kind of going like, hey, ho, you don't know if
Speaker 2: this podcast is even going to take off, Like let's
Speaker 2: figure out if you can you know, play football while
Speaker 2: trying to stand up some podcasts, right, and just seeing
Speaker 2: it all unfold the way it has with the just
Speaker 2: the inspiration in the blueprint of a Pat McAfee and
Speaker 2: also when you look back, like JJ Redick in the
Speaker 2: basketball world, but there really just wasn't anything going on,
Speaker 2: and see where the industry's at now with athletes having
Speaker 2: their own thing and doing their own collaborations, whether it's
Speaker 2: podcast content, vlogs, YouTube channels, whatever it is. It's just
Speaker 2: cool to see that we took a shot back then
Speaker 2: because it did it very much felt like a shot
Speaker 2: that we were very insecure about at first.
Speaker 4: And there's a point in this video where's very quick
Speaker 4: where you see me and Will talking in a team
Speaker 4: meeting and Rabel standing in front of us pissing off Rabel.
Speaker 4: I cannot stress to you how much anxiety took place
Speaker 4: when we were sitting in team meetings when the podcast
Speaker 4: first started. Well, it wasn't even we Yeah, it was
Speaker 4: even it was me by myself for you what was
Speaker 4: underplot for it? And then walk in during OTAs after
Speaker 4: de Landy Walker talking about almost dying on an eye
Speaker 4: from an IV and walking in the trainers of him
Speaker 4: and be like, you're a fucking piece of shit, like
Speaker 4: what do you what are you trying to soil us for?
Speaker 4: And I'm I'm not trying to obviously, he's just he
Speaker 4: told the story. He's alive. And then you go into
Speaker 4: a team meeting and pulls up a clip of me
Speaker 4: and Will sitting on a bus with Delaney in a
Speaker 4: grabber first episode, our first episode. He's like, guy, listen,
Speaker 4: it's great. You guys want to start your media thing.
Speaker 4: That's awesome, But like, let's just remember the keys when
Speaker 4: we're talking now that you are the media, Let's talk
Speaker 4: about the keys how we handle ourselves. And you're just
Speaker 4: sitting there. There's one hundred people upper management, guys like
Speaker 4: guys that just got drafted. There's ninety three players, and
Speaker 4: then you know another twenty thirty staff and you're just
Speaker 4: feeling you're all alone, and everyone's like, what the fuck
Speaker 4: is Taylor doing?
Speaker 2: What an idiot?
Speaker 4: Because I sit there.
Speaker 2: Rule number like rule number one is like, don't do
Speaker 2: anything that hurts the team, right, And Delaney tells a
Speaker 2: story about almost ivy and not only did he tell us,
Speaker 2: I doubled down and said, yeah, me too.
Speaker 4: JAG's game Thursday night football. I remember feeling terrible because
Speaker 4: too much air got my IV Like.
Speaker 2: That's why you need to get like third parties with
Speaker 2: ivs and stuff like that. I kind of just put
Speaker 2: the training room in such a tough spot, just absolutely.
Speaker 4: And then when you went to the Raiders and you
Speaker 4: called me and you're like, dude, this is cat this
Speaker 4: rookie named Max Crosby, who's like about the show. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and just thinking like all the way across the country,
Speaker 4: and well, yeah, in Oakland at the time, there's there's
Speaker 4: people that are watching the show and embracing it. And
Speaker 4: then with us being and I don't know.
Speaker 2: If we are tasting the bubble outside of Tennessee because
Speaker 2: even though I wasn't on a team, when I'm sitting
Speaker 2: and watching you guys, because again, that was their year,
Speaker 2: that was the year you ended up going to the
Speaker 2: AFC Championship, but you started off like two and four.
Speaker 2: Like when I'm sitting there watching you guys, lose. All
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about is fuck man, I hate that we
Speaker 2: got to put out another episode and I'm like, I
Speaker 2: don't even want to ask Taylor to do an injury.
Speaker 4: Not only that, the first season Bustwo the Boys came out,
Speaker 4: I was suspended for the first four games, sitting at
Speaker 4: home and they're like, this fucking guy in this podcast,
Speaker 4: you'd rather do it, but I'm like, I really want
Speaker 4: to be on the field and due ude this second guessing,
Speaker 4: the being like just scared about everything. Like Will and
Speaker 4: I would get off the bus. We would do like
Speaker 4: three episodes in a row to backlog for the season,
Speaker 4: and we on our car right tone would be on
Speaker 4: the phone like what do you think about this? What
Speaker 4: do you think about that? That was kind of stupid?
Speaker 10: No, it was fine.
Speaker 4: I think it was fine. And it's like this game
Speaker 4: of insecurity of us trying to fit a puzzle piece
Speaker 4: to see where the next thing is. And I don't
Speaker 4: know if it's like a lot like we always go
Speaker 4: back and forth like were we the first like players
Speaker 4: to start a podcast where we not like let's just
Speaker 4: say for like like we were, let's just say we were.
Speaker 4: It's so cool to see now in twenty twenty five
Speaker 4: that everybody's got a podcast, and whether we were a
Speaker 4: big piece of that or a small piece of that, Like,
Speaker 4: it is so cool to be a part of like
Speaker 4: the changing of media and to sit on this bus
Speaker 4: and be able to change the landscape of media. Whether
Speaker 4: it's half a percent or eighty percent, it's just it's
Speaker 4: awesome to give the voice back to the players and
Speaker 4: the players taking that and being like, well, we everyone
Speaker 4: wants to tell our narrative, why don't we tell our
Speaker 4: own narrative. That's why I bus with the voice has
Speaker 4: been successful as the people that come on, they sit here,
Speaker 4: they talk to us, they say things, they feel comfortable
Speaker 4: to say things with us. Then they get off and
Speaker 4: they're like, I didn't like this is this? We don't
Speaker 4: keep it and say, oh, sorry you said this, So
Speaker 4: it's going to come on the show. It's like, let
Speaker 4: us work with you to make sure that you feel
Speaker 4: comfortable coming back on again and again. Yeah, that's why
Speaker 4: you see so many recurring guests on Busting with the Boys.
Speaker 4: So it's awesome. It's awesome that you guys get to
Speaker 4: see that three four five minute video of how this
Speaker 4: whole thing started.
Speaker 2: Just a snapshot of Yeah, it's again. It's like we
Speaker 2: stood this thing up. It wasn't like we pitched an
Speaker 2: idea to a network and then you go in and
Speaker 2: they own all of your stuff. We were able to
Speaker 2: position ourselves in a great spot to where now it's
Speaker 2: like reaping those benefits to where the number one sports
Speaker 2: book in America wants to be our presenting sponsor of
Speaker 2: the Bust with the Boys.
Speaker 4: They believe in us enough to put all their shit
Speaker 4: on our shit, yeah, and put us on their app
Speaker 4: and be like, please help us grow this brand. It's like,
Speaker 4: how fucking cool is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: And you know we've worked with them, We've were i
Speaker 4: mean for a couple of months now. We've been in
Speaker 4: talks figuring out how we're gonna launch this thing and everything,
Speaker 4: like it's gonna be fucking awesome. It's gonna be awesome,
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be it'll be fun man.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And with the boys too, Like this crew that's sitting
Speaker 2: in here, like there's gonna be a vlog dropping, I
Speaker 2: assume this week or soon about how the Boys have
Speaker 2: been able to feel a similar impact that we have
Speaker 2: from the deals.
Speaker 4: We've got to say too, much.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and obviously you boys know how much we love you.
Speaker 4: We we we tried to explain it to you, and
Speaker 4: we all sit down this bus and talk to you
Speaker 4: guys like you guys were have been like such a
Speaker 4: big part of how Bust from the Boys has been successful.
Speaker 1: It's just because.
Speaker 4: Billingarn the mic, like do editing the videos, like late nights,
Speaker 4: like planning all these things out, Will and I being
Speaker 4: idiots at times and fucking stuff up, having to redo
Speaker 4: custom socials, having to go back because we put the
Speaker 4: kick on a couple of years ago, and getting yelled
Speaker 4: at by Dave and all those things, like thank you
Speaker 4: for everything. We really appreciate y'all.
Speaker 2: What's what's what's been your most frustrating moment with the boys.
Speaker 10: With us?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I feel like this one's like because
Speaker 11: we're kind of telling him I know where it is
Speaker 11: we do this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like I want to I do. I would
Speaker 2: love to know.
Speaker 11: The easiest one is whenever you need will and you
Speaker 11: text him and he doesn't answer, but you see him
Speaker 11: tweet like twenty times.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, look, you know, let's stop this game.
Speaker 4: I'll co sign that. Willie I'll say goodbye to Will,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh fuck, I forgot tell him this.
Speaker 4: And Will and I are way differently. I'd rather much,
Speaker 4: I'd much rather call you than text you, because I'm
Speaker 4: just like, hey, real quick, boom, I'll call and we
Speaker 4: just said goodbye. It's been three minutes and he won't answer,
Speaker 4: and then I'll see him tomorrow and there will be
Speaker 4: no answer. I'll have to ask that question the next day,
Speaker 4: doing do me?
Speaker 7: Do me?
Speaker 10: And get it over with.
Speaker 8: Just I said mine before, and I was the first
Speaker 8: one to say and I felt awful for what was
Speaker 8: mine was the same thing that she said. But yeah,
Speaker 8: I Will knows that I have like so much anxiety
Speaker 8: texting him, so he does his best to respond back
Speaker 8: to me.
Speaker 4: Look at you care in a big stick, yes, do me?
Speaker 7: Do you for you?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 6: Like, I don't know, maybe like a it's not a
Speaker 6: crazy big one. But if ever, there's an influx of ideas.
Speaker 6: It feels like we need to do this, this, this,
Speaker 6: this and this, and in my head I'm just thinking
Speaker 6: of the editing of all of it, and the amount
Speaker 6: of hours of editing does not match up with the
Speaker 6: amount of days that it would take until it feels impossible.
Speaker 6: So I'm like, I don't know how. I don't know
Speaker 6: how I'm gonna please this guy.
Speaker 10: That's fair.
Speaker 4: That's fair, big ideas guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think uh and Michkid probably speaks of
Speaker 6: this too, because it was frustrating and it's wasn't even
Speaker 6: so much on y'all as it is just the nature
Speaker 6: of the business, but like getting the text at eleven pm,
Speaker 6: like hey, we need to take this out of the
Speaker 6: the podcast, and then having to come back up here
Speaker 6: stay till like three am before and let it export
Speaker 6: and everything, and then even if like yeah, stuff like that.
Speaker 6: But I also will say, y'all handle those like ar
Speaker 6: mistakes very well, and like, oh yeah, I mean y'all,
Speaker 6: y'all are really good about handling our mistakes and being
Speaker 6: kind of like gracious or showing grace with those.
Speaker 2: And on a positive yeah, great shit sandwiches served right there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was nice. Kind of makes you forget about
Speaker 4: the the critical eye, Like I said, something nice.
Speaker 2: Jack over there stroking that mustache, even waiting for an
Speaker 2: opportunity they.
Speaker 1: Got too much. I don't have much.
Speaker 7: I mean I feel like, well, if you could guess,
Speaker 7: you would know and It's what Mitch says when I
Speaker 7: text you over and over for videos and then you
Speaker 7: like you're like, yeah, I got you, and then it'll
Speaker 7: be two days later I'm like.
Speaker 10: Hey about that video. But no, no, I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 10: you guys.
Speaker 7: You guys are gracious with us, so I think we
Speaker 7: can can be too. And we also are all around
Speaker 7: each other constantly, like in such tight quarters that it's
Speaker 7: bound to get a little heated sometimes. But over the
Speaker 7: last five years, there's never been something that's like dramatically
Speaker 7: made I feel like people angry. I mean maybe, but
Speaker 7: I think everything's cool.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 10: I love it.
Speaker 9: Sure them you got anything in your first nine months, Yeah,
Speaker 9: I don't know with that sample size if I really
Speaker 9: do have a good one. Nothing that was like super big.
Speaker 9: I feel like with Taylor, we had a ton of
Speaker 9: communications through DMS before I was full time, and so
Speaker 9: that communication was like super helpful with the types of
Speaker 9: memes and stuff that I was making with them. You
Speaker 9: are big on calling, You're also big on voice messaging.
Speaker 4: Whereas I love the voice message, which is.
Speaker 9: So helpful and it's changed a ton since I'm here
Speaker 9: in person. But to that point, with Will, it was
Speaker 9: more so just a text of the broad idea. And
Speaker 9: then you send them the meme and then he's like,
Speaker 9: not what I'm looking for at all. And that's like
Speaker 9: all you get back. And then you're like, oh, well
Speaker 9: I can what would you like to change?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 9: It's good already posted something. Anyways, we're all straight, I'm like,
Speaker 9: oh damn. But now that I'm here in person, like you,
Speaker 9: you're big on face to face. You talk a ton
Speaker 9: when you're in front somebody will but uh, you know, yeah,
Speaker 9: you can pick something apart in the text. There's nothing
Speaker 9: wrong with that. Pick it apart, all right, all right,
Speaker 9: I had to dig for something that was all I.
Speaker 2: Could come up with.
Speaker 8: The cool thing like what JP was saying. It's like
Speaker 8: the graciousness and stuff like that. It's like some places
Speaker 8: you're like, hey, you need you need to cut this out.
Speaker 8: They're like, hey, cut this out, and it's like they
Speaker 8: don't you don't understand. They don't understand like what that
Speaker 8: means for us. But you like Will has been or
Speaker 8: Tailor's texted multiple times like hey, this sucks, but you're
Speaker 8: gonna have to go cut this out.
Speaker 6: I know it's ass, but like you got to and
Speaker 6: it's just yeah.
Speaker 8: And like even a couple of weeks ago when I
Speaker 8: and then I came back and I sent Will like, hey,
Speaker 8: maybe we need some of that that little food for
Speaker 8: the boys, and then you ended up hooking it up.
Speaker 8: But it's like you guys know that, it's like kind
Speaker 8: of asked that we have to go do it. But
Speaker 8: and it like so it makes it easy, like Okay,
Speaker 8: they know they're not like, hey, just go do it.
Speaker 8: They know like, hey, this is gonna I know this sucks,
Speaker 8: but you kind of land the plane easy.
Speaker 9: Thank you for your grace last week.
Speaker 4: Thank you your grace.
Speaker 2: You should we jump into the interview.
Speaker 4: A little at sky. Before we jump in, let's talk
Speaker 4: about something that's near and dear to our hearts. And
Speaker 4: that is true Classic, Oh buddy. One of my biggest
Speaker 4: worries when we were leaving the pirate ship to go
Speaker 4: into petit was is true Classic going to stay with us.
Speaker 4: Because I am a cartoon character, I pretty much wear
Speaker 4: the same thing every day. In the winter time, I
Speaker 4: put the same jacket on, I wear all black, I
Speaker 4: wear the black jeans like everything. True classic shirts. I've
Speaker 4: never had a shirt that's fit better. I've never had
Speaker 4: a pair of pants that I enjoy wearing more. And
Speaker 4: the best part of these pants, it's like they're like
Speaker 4: old school pants. They don't wear and break the longer
Speaker 4: you wear them. They like it like it learns your body.
Speaker 4: It's like what were those tempepediing mattresses? Like you lay
Speaker 4: on it and eventually it just kind of learns you
Speaker 4: a little bit. These jeens learned me. They understand me
Speaker 4: a little bit. They learned me, and I like it.
Speaker 4: They had a couple things on here. I want to
Speaker 4: gas them up for a second. But they have twenty
Speaker 4: new styles in tall this year. I feel like I'm
Speaker 4: a little bit of part of that because they did
Speaker 4: not make these thirty six thirty six is before. Now
Speaker 4: they're going to that's big time. If you don't mind
Speaker 4: buying online, they're at Target and they're a multiple Nashville
Speaker 4: if you're local. The number three things perfect fit field price.
Speaker 4: No matter what you buy, it's going to have three
Speaker 4: things tops or bottoms. Their mantra is look good, feel good,
Speaker 4: love anything you want to say with your classic No.
Speaker 2: I'm fired up that they came over with us, because again,
Speaker 2: when we're going through all that stuff, you're kind of
Speaker 2: like trying to be as gracious as possible with you know,
Speaker 2: things coming to an end, so you're waiting on them
Speaker 2: to give you the green light on reaching out to
Speaker 2: sponsors versus trying to just go in and take as
Speaker 2: many sponsors as possible. That we're working with you, and
Speaker 2: it is cool that True Classic's coming with us. Like
Speaker 2: when we first got in touch with him, I just
Speaker 2: remember the CEO Ryan, like, I had a massive order
Speaker 2: for Christmas from my brothers and my dad. I spent
Speaker 2: like over one thousand dollars. He identified, He's like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's a that's busted with the boys ends up sending
Speaker 2: a bunch more free merch and they end up coming
Speaker 2: on with us just because of that big purchase that
Speaker 2: was made. And so knowing like we have a cool
Speaker 2: relationship with Ryan and knowing that they're that he's coming
Speaker 2: with us, that he's bringing True Classic with us, it
Speaker 2: is big time. I mean from head to toe. They
Speaker 2: was talking about the jeans, the sweatpants, the shirts.
Speaker 4: Up pants had a little bit more so stretching at us.
Speaker 4: You can see the cap you're wearing nothing, You're basically
Speaker 4: wearing nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, super comfortable and he just got sending us these
Speaker 2: new shirts. They've kind of done some new material with
Speaker 2: the T shirts. Yes, bro, and uh it is big time.
Speaker 2: We're fired up that they're coming with the boys, working
Speaker 2: with the boys, because it's like, even even if they weren't,
Speaker 2: we had started wearing True Classic before they came on
Speaker 2: as a partner, So.
Speaker 4: True Classic kind of fucked up because if they said no,
Speaker 4: we're not gonna go with you guys, I'd probably still
Speaker 4: just wear True Classic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you know.
Speaker 4: Us because I'm still gonna wear the ship. And also, dude,
Speaker 4: what I love about Ryan is like he understands like
Speaker 4: the giveaway game, like the pricing everything. So like I'm
Speaker 4: sure in the next year there will be so many
Speaker 4: True Classic giveaways.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, It'll be like when a big memory that
Speaker 2: comes to mind is when the tornadoes were happening in Nebraska.
Speaker 2: He's sending a shipload of product everywhere in Nebraska's when
Speaker 2: people were affected by that. So he is massive on
Speaker 2: the giveaways. Just he's just the guys guy.
Speaker 4: He's the guys guy. And if you want to feel
Speaker 4: it a guy's guy while wearing guys guys stuff, go
Speaker 4: to True Classic dot com forward slash bust and that's
Speaker 4: b uss. I am true classic dot com forward slash
Speaker 4: bustin let's get to this episode. Uh, this is a
Speaker 4: special episode for us. We were kind of like, hey,
Speaker 4: this is the big announcement podcast. Who should we do?
Speaker 4: Should we get this big time guy? We've never talked
Speaker 4: to guests? And then we started talking a little bit
Speaker 4: more and it was like, why don't we get a
Speaker 4: couple of people that have been on the on the
Speaker 4: bus several times? Ogs Not only are ogs if there's
Speaker 4: like being around us in our homies, but they also
Speaker 4: have ascended to new heights that are crazy. Jelly Roll

Speaker 4: I look back at that episode and see if we
Speaker 4: just left Wills as if he was here in spirit.
Speaker 10: Yeah, let's see what it was looking believe. No, there
Speaker 10: was the dude, I'm where, I'm dressed like Rocky Balbo,

Speaker 1: on this bus so much. Yeah, yeah, you're right. There
Speaker 1: was a time where it was just me and Wheel
Speaker 1: and I sat there, and there was a time where
Speaker 1: it was me Taylor, and I think Ernest was. Yes,
Speaker 1: we did a three piece because obviously you know me
Speaker 1: being so much.
Speaker 10: There was one time you came on after my fourth
Speaker 10: of July.
Speaker 1: I know, when I almost shipped myself.
Speaker 10: On this that's you.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, you had to go and leave panicked ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: never forget that ship. The rest of you're moving. It
Speaker 1: looked like I passed a weed basket. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It is crazy how much y'all have been on this bus.
Speaker 10: We built this busy.
Speaker 4: We built this because when we first had you on,
Speaker 4: you were going.
Speaker 10: You and me are like, ah, that's like road thirty

Speaker 2: God damn?
Speaker 4: Completely different human beings, completely you know we're looking at

Speaker 4: How long ago was this episode?
Speaker 10: Two years? Two years?
Speaker 4: Could have been two years?
Speaker 2: And did look smaller there? Oh the black?
Speaker 1: Maybe since happened years?
Speaker 10: I want to start two years ago. You still had
Speaker 10: a job two years ago, he's.
Speaker 1: Talking about, talk about.
Speaker 10: Jill lost a bunch of weight, Rosie O'donnald.
Speaker 2: You know what I love about this.
Speaker 1: It reeks of real friends. Thank you' all boys for
Speaker 1: having us back. Hell yeah, y'all. The first episode conversation,
Speaker 1: I was like, this is how we would talk outside
Speaker 1: of the bush.
Speaker 2: This is the launch of our independence. It wouldn't It
Speaker 2: wouldn't feel right if it wasn't on.
Speaker 10: This is it, this is it's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just wrote out that closeship independence. We're rolling
Speaker 4: now going.
Speaker 10: Independent.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it first. Y'all want to live there?
Speaker 1: Y'all want to do it separate without us?
Speaker 10: No, No, we'll live there there.
Speaker 1: Congratulations, man, listen. I know not that y'all y'all were
Speaker 1: in a great deal, but there was a time in
Speaker 1: my life that I was in a bad deal, and
Speaker 1: getting out of that deal made every ownership decision after that,
Speaker 1: every independence, every next move means so much more to me,
Speaker 1: And I wonder if that's how y'all feel sitting here today,
Speaker 1: like the fucking bus is back.
Speaker 4: God's that's a good question, because you did you We
Speaker 4: weren't a great deal before why Barstool was awesome to
Speaker 4: us in every way, and it was a difficult decision
Speaker 4: to like kind of go independent. But once, like you,
Speaker 4: once we saw the path, it was like, Okay, this
Speaker 4: the bus, nothing's changing about the show. Like this, the
Speaker 4: show is going to be the show, but like the
Speaker 4: opportunities that it presents with the access to other places
Speaker 4: to go to being able to because like Barstool is unbelievable,
Speaker 4: but there's also a lot of red tape sometimes, like
Speaker 4: if you try to do stuff in the NFL or colleges,
Speaker 4: stuff like that, because they've been around for so long
Speaker 4: and they've pushed the boundaries. A lot of people don't understand, Like,
Speaker 4: especially when we first started, they didn't really understand how
Speaker 4: Barstool is not trying to like hurt people, They're just
Speaker 4: trying to be real about conversations. And then as like
Speaker 4: towards the end of our deal, people were really starting
Speaker 4: to be like, Okay, barstool people were trending more towards
Speaker 4: the barstool world. But this is going to be awesome
Speaker 4: to like find new people to like kind of be
Speaker 4: a part of this thing, go and see like different
Speaker 4: events that we've never gone to before.
Speaker 1: Have that type of access acting as a complete independent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's you know, like that's a that's a cool thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like me and Ernest were
Speaker 1: just talking about it. To throw Ernest under the bus
Speaker 1: is that Ernest is producing his next record. And in
Speaker 1: my eyes, I knew Ernest was a producer three years
Speaker 1: ago when I got him to produce Son of a
Speaker 1: Center four years ago, Ernest didn't quite know it yet, Like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I've decided to produce my own records.
Speaker 1: I was like, fucking I screamed that four years ago.
Speaker 1: But it's so cool now. Ernest's sessions are different, Like
Speaker 1: he's not locked into a writer's room now. When he
Speaker 1: texts me at night, he's like, Yo, I'm at the studio.
Speaker 1: He's at the studio and he's producing records.
Speaker 10: No ship, it's pretty fun. I mean, it's gonna be
Speaker 10: with other produce. I'm gonna co produce and bring other
Speaker 10: people in. But like Joey is so busy and they're
Speaker 10: launching the rock the rock stuff. They're going all in
Speaker 10: on rock. And because of him, like I feel confidence
Speaker 10: in being empowered to just state my own opinion in
Speaker 10: a studio. I'm know by no means a mix engineer
Speaker 10: or even an engineer at all. I'm not the guy
Speaker 10: at the computer. I like, I hear the music. I
Speaker 10: want to pull the band together and sing the parts
Speaker 10: and stuff like that. Those are That's what I'll bring
Speaker 10: to the table as a producer.
Speaker 4: And you're producing your your next album right now.
Speaker 10: I'm about to start. Yeah, we just did. We got
Speaker 10: the Cadillac Sessions coming out, which is with record. I
Speaker 10: started a record.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, celebrations around.
Speaker 10: Deville Records. So I've got Chandler Walters, Rhys Rutherford, and
Speaker 10: Cody loadin and we went and cut like sixteen songs.
Speaker 10: Each of the guys got two original songs and did
Speaker 10: a cover. I did like three or four originals, did
Speaker 10: a cover. I got a Snoop Dogg feature on there.
Speaker 10: We got Miranda Lambert, Jake Worthington. There might be one
Speaker 10: other last minute that comes through, But yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 10: launch it all together. I'm gonna put these guys on
Speaker 10: as best I can, and then they got to go
Speaker 10: out and make it happen for themselves.
Speaker 2: Now did you did you have kind of these plans
Speaker 2: in place before your independence kind of kind of set off?
Speaker 2: Just talking from our experience, it's like, yeah, the Fan
Speaker 2: Duel deal got us away from barstool, but you're sitting there,
Speaker 2: it's like once those conversations started to take place and
Speaker 2: you realize like, oh, we can collaborate and kind of
Speaker 2: work with whoever, and the phone's kind of blowing up
Speaker 2: and we can kind of pick our brands.
Speaker 4: When you saw my fel out loud just now, part
Speaker 4: of me was like, we gotta cut down.
Speaker 2: I knows were to even say Fan Duel and the
Speaker 2: Cats out the bag with everything else. But did you
Speaker 2: have like this, were some of these plans in place
Speaker 2: where you're like, all right, I'm going independent. I do
Speaker 2: believe in myself.
Speaker 10: I'm not independent. I'm still in partnership my label. It's
Speaker 10: still Big Loud Records.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 10: And then my my joint, my joint venture with Big
Speaker 10: Loud is the Deville Records. So as an artist. I'm
Speaker 10: still signed to Big Loud Records, and I'm just going
Speaker 10: to take on some of the responsibility of bringing my presenting.
Speaker 1: My album to the label.
Speaker 10: Like has some of your own creative direction, Yeah, and
Speaker 10: they've always given me creative direction. But I think this,
Speaker 10: this is gonna be uh without Joey moy which is
Speaker 10: scary because he's the best, the best.
Speaker 4: He's the best, and one is Joey. He's a producer,
Speaker 4: producer and.
Speaker 10: Literally literally on Billboard Hot one hundred, he's been number
Speaker 10: one for almost I feel like years from from starting
Speaker 10: Nickelback to Florida Georgia line at their peet Morgan wand you.
Speaker 1: Know what he's done. Why I respect Joy Moore and
Speaker 1: I think he's the best, one of the best to
Speaker 1: ever do it in any genre, is that he's proved
Speaker 1: ever all timer is that he's proven he can do
Speaker 1: it over and over again, and he creates sounds around
Speaker 1: times and artists like, think about how how different Nickelback
Speaker 1: sounded when we first heard Nickelback. Think about how different
Speaker 1: Florida Georgia Line heard when we first heard Florida Georgia line.
Speaker 1: Think about how different Morgan Wallen sound and when we
Speaker 1: really got into the Dangerous record, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: we've watched this dude make the biggest artist on earth
Speaker 1: four times over Hardy's rock sound like that's Hardy's spirits,
Speaker 1: Hardy song right nor where he wants to go. But
Speaker 1: that's a guy that can create a stone cold country
Speaker 1: record but also knew enough about a Nickelback record, like yeah,
Speaker 1: we put out a metal record. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: This dude is like that is what to me. That's
Speaker 1: like the range when you have that kind of range,
Speaker 1: like fuck you man, ud he's the best.
Speaker 4: So this guy is staying with the times and also
Speaker 4: finding the new times. When we look back at the
Speaker 4: twenties and the tents, we'll look back and be like, yo,
Speaker 4: that that was Joey essentially.
Speaker 10: And that's what he's doing. Look for the next wave
Speaker 10: and it's going to be rock and roll, and Joey
Speaker 10: moy is gonna be right behind.
Speaker 1: You know, I got a rock and roll boys.
Speaker 10: Don't leave me hanging, but watch I'm calling it rock
Speaker 10: and rolls next in the in the big Oh you
Speaker 10: got three? Oh damn, I never saw you. I've been
Speaker 10: looking at this guy and nobody's looking at That's why
Speaker 10: I've been talking. I've been talking to the one camera point.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
Speaker 10: Looking making direct? I'm breaking the fifth wall. I didn't
Speaker 10: even know that.
Speaker 4: It is nuts. It's nuts to see you guys blow
Speaker 4: up the way you guys have. And then the relationships that,
Speaker 4: like I was saying, trying to say before, like when
Speaker 4: we had you on, you were going viral for doing
Speaker 4: fake cracking open beers they make the angel Yeah, sitting there,
Speaker 4: it goes every time, yeah, time. And then Jelly and
Speaker 4: I were talking about this at the Grendel Opry, sitting
Speaker 4: in his car while I was like in panic mode,
Speaker 4: they're coming, their coming feeling I was too yeah, but
Speaker 4: him him saying, I remember sitting there with somebody at
Speaker 4: a truck place and be like, hey, you gotta have
Speaker 4: this this jelly roll guy on. I'm thinking we just
Speaker 4: started this podcast. I don't know who this is. I
Speaker 4: don't listen to rap. And then Shop comes and you
Speaker 4: just rolled with him and you were just such an
Speaker 4: awesome dude. We're like, yeah, well for sure to get
Speaker 4: this jelly roll guy on. And then look where we
Speaker 4: are five six years later.

Speaker 10: orange juice. Was just hammering mimosasp I'd.
Speaker 1: Like to say, Ernest is growing up, y'all. It's been
Speaker 1: really cool.
Speaker 10: I mean he was still you know, there's a lot
Speaker 10: of to grow, but I've.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he left room for improvement, of course, but he's
Speaker 1: doing great.
Speaker 10: I'm moving vertically on my on my chart.
Speaker 4: That's all you need, that's all you need.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: By day Yeah, Geronimo, here comes the crash.
Speaker 4: So so when so when you're starting to produce this album,
Speaker 4: you're you're about to do it, Like, how does that?

Speaker 10: The Cadillac sessions is done, We got the masters back.
Speaker 10: That'll come out sometime this spring. But for my album,
Speaker 10: I just now started wrapping my head around writing it.
Speaker 4: How sick was it with Snoop Dogg?
Speaker 10: I mean that is I only met him because of
Speaker 10: Jelly Roll I mean, that's all. That's all Jelly. He
Speaker 10: created that relationship because he's Jelly Roll. And then Snoop
Speaker 10: came to Nashville to pop up with Jelly Roll. And
Speaker 10: I tell people all the times like I didn't follow
Speaker 10: my nose backstage because that would have done me no good.
Speaker 10: It always smells like Snoop Dogg's backstage. But I went
Speaker 10: to where the most security was and I was like,
Speaker 10: I haven't told you this, it's the best way to go.
Speaker 10: I went to where there was a bunch of security
Speaker 10: and I went to one guy and I was like,
Speaker 10: Snoop back there, and he goes no. And then the
Speaker 10: guy that knew me comes back from behind him was
Speaker 10: like he's back there all right. So I weaseled my
Speaker 10: way back to the door. There's one more guy and
Speaker 10: I was like, my name is Ernest. I just played
Speaker 10: out here. I'm opening for Jelly. Can I meet Snoop.
Speaker 10: He opened the door, He's like, Snoop, You're good. He
Speaker 10: was like yeah, come on. I go in and Snoop

Speaker 1: it's probably like five fifty six.
Speaker 10: Dude.
Speaker 1: I started it like double digits, no ship, my estrogen
Speaker 1: was so double digits. Wait, double digits doc. They've never
Speaker 1: seen it. It was listen.
Speaker 10: Transition record.
Speaker 1: I had to take another test because they didn't believe it.
Speaker 1: They were like, this is crazy, really dead ass dude.
Speaker 1: And I lost a little weight and six months later
Speaker 1: took another test and I was like one.
Speaker 4: Twenty had to feel good to see this three digits.
Speaker 1: Even then I was like, oh, I'm getting there. They
Speaker 1: were like, we'd like to see you in a thousand.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not there nowhere. My estrogen was
Speaker 1: as you could guess, super highestosteron.
Speaker 4: You gott you know what I mean.
Speaker 10: And then I wanted to get an estrogenes, just that one.
Speaker 1: Up here that you've got a little more than most.
Speaker 1: That's the first tale that's right there in the boob beach.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: Ernest.
Speaker 4: The other night I walked in door wide open to
Speaker 4: his room. He's just sitting there, shirt off, chilling, shirtless.
Speaker 1: You're fucking a festival fifty thousand people. Earth is not
Speaker 1: getting man.
Speaker 2: I love my body. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Australia, that'll happen.
Speaker 4: That is so funny.
Speaker 10: In Australia. This is a This is the reason that
Speaker 10: ended up happening is because two days prior at the
Speaker 10: outside festival. They were all screaming shoey, shoey, shoey, and
Speaker 10: two songs in I was like fuck it. I did
Speaker 10: a shoey, drenched my shirt and alcohol took my shirt
Speaker 10: off through into the crowd, and then my next song
Speaker 10: was Ain't as Easy, which is like a slow sad song.
Speaker 10: I had to do the rest of my forty five
Speaker 10: minutes shirtless. I mean, I got sad songs. I'm holding guitars,
Speaker 10: and I'm looking like that holding guitars. Day be a
Speaker 10: good day for T shirt shops someboddy. Yeah there it
Speaker 10: is like that, what a look.
Speaker 1: What a commitment.
Speaker 2: We spend enough time on this double digit testosterone the
Speaker 2: highest levels like what twelve hundred I think, so I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm for you to get medically like if
Speaker 2: football players are below like two ninety or three hundred
Speaker 2: or something like that, like three times that they test
Speaker 2: that way three times, you can medically get prescribed to
Speaker 2: stosterone because your testosterone is very low for you to
Speaker 2: be double digits like that is I've never heard of that.
Speaker 1: It was like unreal, and then it was now we're
Speaker 1: getting way more even I got another blood to This
Speaker 1: is my first blood test, and like I'm doing every
Speaker 1: three to four months. Now I was doing every month.
Speaker 1: I'm doing every three to four just because I see
Speaker 1: what's happening. So it's like that blooding gonna tell me
Speaker 1: that my body's not showing me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Does that makes sense now? Where there was a time
Speaker 1: where I had to watch it all the time, like
Speaker 1: just make sure we don't have any heart markers going.
Speaker 1: When you're five hundred and fifty pounds and a full
Speaker 1: blown alcoholic does cocaine, you got to worry.
Speaker 10: What's happening for quite a while. I feel like a
Speaker 10: drug dealer could have told you that. You know, it's
Speaker 10: like you want how much?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: It's been cool man, getting my getting my I got.
Speaker 1: I started with Gary Breca, who was the first person
Speaker 1: that came in and really like got me right. And
Speaker 1: then I've been working with UH. Since Gary split, I've
Speaker 1: been working with ways to well down in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 1: Bring them in doctor Denise, they do Burt, they do
Speaker 1: all the all the all the Austin homies, and they've
Speaker 1: just dude. And the cool thing was she came in
Speaker 1: on some really cool stuff. She said, look, we're gonna
Speaker 1: go back to grassroots with you. We're gonna get off
Speaker 1: all this stuff. We're gonna take a little testosterone. And
Speaker 1: she gave me a met foreman because I still haven't
Speaker 1: took the shot. And for the record, I want to
Speaker 1: be clear about this, it's not that I'm against the shot.
Speaker 1: Like anybody out there that's struggling with major obesity. If
Speaker 1: your doctor believes that the shot is the way for you,
Speaker 1: I think you should take it. You tell them ozimpic
Speaker 1: what I don't know what they are, Whatever they are,
Speaker 1: I think there's more than ozimpic with any one of
Speaker 1: those shots. If that's actually can I think I know
Speaker 1: people around me that has changed their life. My problem
Speaker 1: was it had one side effect that everybody had the
Speaker 1: same side effing. It was indigestion and ascid reflux. The
Speaker 1: way I've treated my body, my stomach is the worst
Speaker 1: thing I have going, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't afford to fuck my stomach
Speaker 1: up anymore. Like I'm to a point now I won't
Speaker 1: take antabotics. When I get a cold, I'll take an
Speaker 1: antabotics shot, but I try to bypass the gut because
Speaker 1: I focused the last year on really resetting my gut.
Speaker 1: So that's why I didn't do the shot. So she
Speaker 1: was like, look, your insulin is through the roof. Though.
Speaker 1: She's like, at least take a met formant. It'll start
Speaker 1: helping you. That's it. That fast testosterone started going up,
Speaker 1: estrogen started coming down naturally. I didn't have to do
Speaker 1: an estrogen blocker or nothing. It just kind of naturally started.
Speaker 1: She was like, trust me that the titty number is
Speaker 1: gonna come down when the Pecker number goes up.
Speaker 10: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's a layman term for me to get it. So
Speaker 1: it's been working, dude, it's just been that. And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you something else. And I'm really speaking more so,
Speaker 1: do y'all watching this anybody who's dealing with real obesity,
Speaker 1: like super obesity, there is no getting around food in
Speaker 1: and food out. You can. I don't care what diet
Speaker 1: you try to chase fether it's keto. Whatever works for
Speaker 1: you works for you. But it only works for you
Speaker 1: because your body is burning more than it's consuming. It's
Speaker 1: that easy. You just have to be disciplined in that
Speaker 1: that extra Reese's cup that you think don't matter if
Speaker 1: you do that four times a week. That's an extra
Speaker 1: two thousand calories going into your diet that you don't
Speaker 1: think about, you know what I mean. It's like, these
Speaker 1: are the little things like I had to cut out.
Speaker 1: I had to completely change my relationship with food in
Speaker 1: every aspect. I had to get very I have to
Speaker 1: treat food the same way I treat cocaine now, like
Speaker 1: I don't want it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10: That's only weekendwich for forty y'all known me long enough.
Speaker 1: When I said that, y'all, we're all looking like, I
Speaker 1: wonder where this is.
Speaker 4: For the first time threat cocaine.
Speaker 2: It's said in such a moment too. I gotta treat
Speaker 2: it the same way I treat cocaine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I doesn't want When they first showed me this
Speaker 1: picture to the left, y'all, I thought somebody had distressed
Speaker 1: my face. Y'all know, I didn't know I was out
Speaker 1: there looking like that.
Speaker 4: But dude, even your skin, your skin looks healthier, like it's.
Speaker 2: It's a crazy change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're happier, way happy. Yeah, man so much.
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this. You've you've done a bunch
Speaker 4: of like you've come on the bus lots of times
Speaker 4: you've had the lemon water. You're saying, I'm changing the stands,
Speaker 4: changing that. But like, for whatever reason, you'd stumble, what
Speaker 4: was it about this time that puts you on such
Speaker 4: a consistent drive?
Speaker 1: And it's funny at the very beginning of this journey,
Speaker 1: I got on the bus last year about this time
Speaker 1: talking about this, and I'd love to go, but I
Speaker 1: can't wait to go back and watch some of that
Speaker 1: to see where my head was at the beginning of it,
Speaker 1: because a year later, I can tell you that what
Speaker 1: it really came down to was two things. One, I
Speaker 1: knew I was going into my forties, and I knew
Speaker 1: that nobody at five hundred and fifty pounds lived to
Speaker 1: be fifty. I seen very few six hundred pounds men
Speaker 1: at fifty years old, Like that was that obvious, And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is crazy, Like that means
Speaker 1: I wouldn't see my son graduate high school. Like I
Speaker 1: started looking like that. That started getting like more mortality,
Speaker 1: more than I care to admit, had something to do
Speaker 1: with it, like genuine like dude, I'm gonna die, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I could feel it too, though,
Speaker 1: like I was so fat. I couldn't sleep comfortably on
Speaker 1: any bed, any situation. I never had energy. I just
Speaker 1: DoD I mean, you know it. I mean I was
Speaker 1: just I was getting flat disgusted with myself, like every
Speaker 1: facet of myself. And I'm already fight with these demons anyways.
Speaker 1: So you start adding, like, you know what, what else happened?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 1: This is probably too honest. But I always thought that
Speaker 1: when I got to the success that i'd, like all
Speaker 1: the mental problems I had, all the addictions I had,
Speaker 1: would just like disappear, like ah, I made it. I'm
Speaker 1: out of the neighborhood. I've got money and financial security.
Speaker 1: Now you know, I'm just like the world's gonna turn
Speaker 1: into butterflies and care bears and fucking Hallmark cards, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it wasn't that way. Instead,
Speaker 1: it was more pressure and more shit, and I just
Speaker 1: dealt with it the way I dealt with all the
Speaker 1: pressure in my whole life, eating, drinking, drugging, all that
Speaker 1: old shit. So I just started getting and then just
Speaker 1: little things. I couldn't wipe my ass a five hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty pounds, dude, it was a fucking workout, dog.
Speaker 1: I would have to put my arm on the wall
Speaker 1: and turn a little bit with making sure the wall
Speaker 1: would keep it that way, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 13: And there were times you have no clue what a
Speaker 13: five hundred and fifty pounds man has to do fucking.
Speaker 2: Having to make sure your arm stays there.
Speaker 1: I want to reenact this for y'all.
Speaker 4: Man, you're doing this up, I hope.
Speaker 1: You gotta put wipe your butt.
Speaker 2: And then he looks at It's like, bad ship wipe
Speaker 2: a lot?
Speaker 10: Did we not early on you?
Speaker 1: Like, look at this, Look at this, this big dude
Speaker 1: down here, middle page right there. He's not wiping his
Speaker 1: ash out for sure. That dude six hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: seven just sitting on it. For sure. He's just just fast.
Speaker 1: About once a week somebody comes and cleans him.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, first but day was a game changer. It's crazy,
Speaker 1: but day helped me.
Speaker 10: So much, so so much of a day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the day is also a guessing game.
Speaker 1: You're gonna tissue.
Speaker 2: Clean, you still like to make sure one and they're like, okay,
Speaker 2: I got a little bit more work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this.
Speaker 2: Let me get up on the wall and put.
Speaker 1: The shoulder there. Son, I'll show you, dude.
Speaker 8: It was.
Speaker 1: It was insane. I had to do it for so long.
Speaker 1: I went to do it the other day out I
Speaker 1: have it. I was like, I don't have to do that.
Speaker 13: Just fucking wipe, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: That is so awesome and eat and clean too.
Speaker 2: You probably get to experience some ghost ships where you
Speaker 2: don't have to wipe very much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're like, am I something wrong? They are awesome, dude.
Speaker 1: Get them big old fucking, big old fibery looking living
Speaker 1: Just sit down there and just make There's a quote
Speaker 1: in the that I heard the first time I went
Speaker 1: to alcoholics Anonymous that says, uh something along this line
Speaker 1: is that people only change when the pain to remain
Speaker 1: the same as greater than the pain it takes the change.
Speaker 1: And I hit that moment in my life that's the
Speaker 1: truth where I was like, I have everything I want
Speaker 1: and can't enjoy it at all because I've allowed this
Speaker 1: this addiction food thing kill me. And immediately it was
Speaker 1: like just snap. And also having a no compromise mindset
Speaker 1: like I do not I have not ate something with
Speaker 1: bread in a year like this. In fact, I'll give
Speaker 1: some super obese people. Just one real tip right now
Speaker 1: that'll change your whole life today is if it's baked,
Speaker 1: fucking anything that has to be baked, No fuck, it's
Speaker 1: that easy, unless it's chicken.
Speaker 2: Head.
Speaker 1: It takes anything that takes flower flower, anything that involves
Speaker 1: baking like that fast. You cut so much stuff like
Speaker 1: everything that's really tearing your stomach up and carrying that
Speaker 1: way though unnecessary calories that are just sitting on you.
Speaker 1: I just got rid of that. It's kind of that easy,
Speaker 1: and it's but it's a non negostible for me, Taylor, Yeah,
Speaker 1: last non negotiable.
Speaker 2: Last year, craigt me if I'm wrong too, But you
Speaker 2: were also talking about potentially having a kid as as
Speaker 2: your health journey kind of started and something that kind
Speaker 2: of got you in check and staying.
Speaker 1: True to it.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 1: We announced that on this podcast, me and Bunny's journey
Speaker 1: into having a baby, and we're still right in the
Speaker 1: middle of it and feeling bet talked about that was
Speaker 1: that was the call I had this morning, was with
Speaker 1: a doctor about that. So that it's good and good.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to have something more to say because
Speaker 1: it's such a stressful journey as y'all know, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You've been through something similar. So
Speaker 1: it's like you when you get finally you don't want
Speaker 1: to get too excited, But anytime you get a little
Speaker 1: good news, you're like, oh, we're trending, right, But I
Speaker 1: know that. Like I told Bunny, she you know she
Speaker 1: worries at times against us, But the way my health
Speaker 1: is right now, times only for us, Like for the
Speaker 1: first time in my lifetimes. Not I spent my whole
Speaker 1: life time was against me, Like time's for me right now.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I'm buying time for the
Speaker 1: first time.
Speaker 2: You were talking about like death, like getting fifty and
Speaker 2: guys being obese and being over five hundred pounds and
Speaker 2: now living in their fifties. Like I'm sure maybe you
Speaker 2: guys felt the same way. But there'd be times where
Speaker 2: I like think about our relationship like yeah, I love
Speaker 2: the hell out of Jailly, Like I hope he I
Speaker 2: hope he's around to enjoy like more moments with him,
Speaker 2: because you do think about like, yeah, this dude is massive,
Speaker 2: like he could he could show up, Like you would
Speaker 2: never be surprised if something popped up the next day
Speaker 2: on the Internet or a headline like jelly rope.
Speaker 4: It wasn't. It wasn't the way thing too, It was
Speaker 4: like your habits. Yeah, so like yeah, we went to
Speaker 4: there and like, yo, obviously love the guy.
Speaker 1: No, I was pouring gasoline on a flame. That dude
Speaker 1: right there to the left. I keep looking at him.
Speaker 1: I thought that face was distressed. You got to realize
Speaker 1: that I don't. I didn't see that. Like, That's something
Speaker 1: else I want to talk to my big pole about.
Speaker 1: Is that you don't. You might, you don't when you
Speaker 1: get so in it. You know it because you feel
Speaker 1: it when you're fucking can't wipe your butt, but you
Speaker 1: don't see it that way. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like when you start seeing it now you look back
Speaker 1: at it, it's like drug addicts, Bubba, Like anytime I've
Speaker 1: been around a drug addict that was really in that stuff,
Speaker 1: I wanted to be Like if you could, if completely sober,
Speaker 1: you could see you right this moment, just for one second,
Speaker 1: you would be so lost and disgusted with yourself you
Speaker 1: would change. You would stop what you were doing right
Speaker 1: now and check into a rehab. Like I know that
Speaker 1: because I know who you were before you look like this,
Speaker 1: You don't know you're out here looking like this, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's like I didn't know I
Speaker 1: was out there looking like that, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: have no clue, Yeah.
Speaker 4: And trying to have that conversation with somebody who's on
Speaker 4: drugs at that time, and that's it's the best thing
Speaker 4: in the world. But it's a feeling. You're like, there's
Speaker 4: no issues right in this very.
Speaker 1: Moment, and they're shame in it too. So it's like,
Speaker 1: as soon as you know, dude, people used to I
Speaker 1: felt so bad. I used to watch my wife get
Speaker 1: berated online where people would be like, you really loved him,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't let him be this fat, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And she's like, do y'all understand that my
Speaker 1: husband is a fucking poor street kid. That's a little honery, you.
Speaker 10: Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like he's already a little fucking anti establishment anyways, and
Speaker 1: he's already in his shame and his guilt. Like that's
Speaker 1: it's hard to talk to people about what they're the
Speaker 1: most ashamed of. And that's why I'm starting the Loser's
Speaker 1: Run Club. Was important to me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like participating in these five k's and like it was
Speaker 1: important to me to lose the weight in front of everybody. Man,
Speaker 1: I don't want to make this whole podcast by my weight,
Speaker 1: but it's the coolest thing happened in my life. But
Speaker 1: it's like I I remembered. I would watch people be
Speaker 1: so ashamed of how big they got, celebrities, and they
Speaker 1: would go hide and lose the weight and then pop
Speaker 1: back out like knew me? Who this? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And then they could never really connect because
Speaker 1: people always like this is weird, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: For me, it was more like, no, man, I was
Speaker 1: so fat, I have lost all of this weight. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna lose another one hundred pounds. The best part is
Speaker 1: we're still I still bru. I was so fat that
Speaker 1: I'm still fat. So fat. Think about that. I was
Speaker 1: so fat that I'm sitting on your bus right now
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy five pounds and we're proud of me.
Speaker 10: It's before and before you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like yo, but it's I see it now
Speaker 1: and I want people. I want that because I want
Speaker 1: people to follow with me my goal in life more
Speaker 1: than it's ever been, right, now is that. I hope
Speaker 1: people that are challenged with severe obesity and food addiction
Speaker 1: are watching what's happening with me, because they're watching it.
Speaker 1: There's I know, it's like, it's hard not I give
Speaker 1: you a guy that made me want to do it.
Speaker 1: You talk about things that inspired me, my buddy, I
Speaker 1: should shout them out. His name is Greg Sanford. He
Speaker 1: was the bondsman in Nashville, Tennessee. I think he's a
Speaker 1: bondsman of Williamson County. Now, oh no, he's a real
Speaker 1: estate agent. But we're still really good friends. Greg lost
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty pounds or something a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, and I watched him do it. I sat
Speaker 1: beside him. I was five hundred some pounds and I
Speaker 1: watched this guy and if he didn't never push it
Speaker 1: on me, he would invite me to hang. He would
Speaker 1: invite me.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: He just kind of preached to me and tried to
Speaker 1: hook me up with his nutritionness. You're not an I
Speaker 1: got it. I lose one that shit you're on. But
Speaker 1: I remember watching him do it and being like, fuck, man,
Speaker 1: I have no excuse not to do this, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I just watched the dude older
Speaker 1: than me and not as big as me, but you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, a big dude lose a lot
Speaker 1: of weight. It was like, I hope people are seeing that.
Speaker 1: You can watch my whole tour last year me and
Speaker 1: earn a shooting basketball. I'm sixty pounds heavier. I didn't
Speaker 1: disappear to lose the sixty I did it slowly over
Speaker 1: the weeks.
Speaker 10: Your lifestyle has been so consistent. You live a healthier
Speaker 10: lifestyle than me by far, think you like, Yeah, No,
Speaker 10: I mean I felt like a lazy piece of shit.
Speaker 10: So many days on the road. I'd right smoke a joint,
Speaker 10: right stretch, walk out. Jelly's getting back from like a run,
Speaker 10: drinking this. It'll be four in the afternoon. I've had
Speaker 10: three meals and Jelly like, where's my banana?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 10: And so I admire that, and I you know, I
Speaker 10: tell you I haven't changed my life.
Speaker 4: Hey, over time, do when you want?
Speaker 1: My dude will be here at about yeah, about hour,
Speaker 1: about an hour, fifteen minutes. I'll be right here to
Speaker 1: drop off a meal out. I meat like a regimented
Speaker 1: like that. Sure if you had crystal, but I'll still
Speaker 1: go eat sushi. That's the cool thing is that one
Speaker 1: thing I didn't do neither. This The last I want
Speaker 1: to talk about is I swear. I'm so sorry y'all,
Speaker 1: But it's just imagine losing this much weight and never
Speaker 1: getting to talk to people about it. Is I didn't
Speaker 1: want to change myself to like I knew that baked
Speaker 1: food was just hurting me, Like it was just not
Speaker 1: good for me, Like drugs are not good for me.
Speaker 1: I don't do good with them. I'm a worser person,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Besides that, I go eat
Speaker 1: like I'm not weird if you ever ride it right now,
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, we should God met me for dinner.
Speaker 1: For dinner, I don't have no problem, Like I'll go
Speaker 1: out and need a steak, which I'm cool with all that.
Speaker 1: Like I don't live in a I'm not in prisoned
Speaker 1: by this no more. Either way. I was once in
Speaker 1: prison to the weight, and then I watched people who
Speaker 1: lose the weight get in prison and not being able
Speaker 1: to do normalist things, you know what I mean. But
Speaker 1: it's like I just don't have to eat a dessert.
Speaker 1: I don't have to eat the bread when it comes.
Speaker 1: I just you know, like, give me a steak and
Speaker 1: potato a steakhouse.
Speaker 4: Though when you first sit down, you're hungry, and that
Speaker 4: that bread comes out the.

Speaker 1: sure that whenever I came in the studio, I was
Speaker 1: ready to blow along, you know what I mean, because
Speaker 1: I knew just how special his voice was too. But
Speaker 1: more importantly, dude, he's a dude man. I got to
Speaker 1: get him on the bus. Bro, He's not what I
Speaker 1: love about him is y'all know my faith, and y'all
Speaker 1: also know I've been outspoken about my issues with the church.
Speaker 1: But he is. He just loves people like he truly
Speaker 1: is what Jesus stands for. He's just a good dude.
Speaker 1: Like one of my people was around him. I was
Speaker 1: doing an interview Apple Music with Kelly and Kelly cuss
Speaker 1: in front of him and was like, oh, sorry, Brandon,
Speaker 1: And right then I was like, he's the only Christian
Speaker 1: I don't feel that way around. Like, you know, you
Speaker 1: get around Christians and you say something a little crazy
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my man, it's the polar opposite
Speaker 1: with him, Like he loves you wherever you are in
Speaker 1: your life. Like he makes like he came to my
Speaker 1: bar and sung at midnight with me this song. Like
Speaker 1: he hung out at the bar with us all night,
Speaker 1: him and his whole crew. They wasn't weird. They didn't
Speaker 1: feel like outliers in there. They didn't separate themselves from
Speaker 1: the bar, like they were in everybody's conversation hanging with it,
Speaker 1: like it was really cool. Like that dude's different. Man
Speaker 1: he's he is going to make the word of God
Speaker 1: digestible to so many people who have been afraid to
Speaker 1: take a bite of it. I'm so proud of Brandon
Speaker 1: Lake man. That's awesome being around the cats.
Speaker 2: You guys have been around Obviously, you guys have blown
Speaker 2: up big over the last five years, like who's a
Speaker 2: Who's who's an up and comer.
Speaker 1: Ernest has got his pulse on this more than anybody,
Speaker 1: because Ernest introduced me to Jake Worthington probably three years ago,
Speaker 1: and he was like, this dude is gonna be huge.
Speaker 1: One day and two month, six three months ago, I'm
Speaker 1: watching TV and he's in a Hennessy commercial. Yeah, He's
Speaker 1: in a full blown Hennessy commercial. And I was like,
Speaker 1: that's just Ernest, Ernest. Ernest always sees it early.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty good at seeing it right because like
Speaker 1: even Brandon, I seen the I didn't see the Brandon
Speaker 1: thon comics. I don't know about Christian music, but that
Speaker 1: dude is already selling out arenas and stadiums. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's he's probably the in the last decade. Yeah. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't want to blow.
Speaker 10: It, but yeah, he's such an old soul and has
Speaker 10: such a great He's got one of those generational voices
Speaker 10: like when you hear George Jones or Merle Haggard or
Speaker 10: Keith Whitley, Tracy Bird, those those voices that are just
Speaker 10: gonna cut for forever.
Speaker 1: That's Jake. Zach Tops another one of that, of course,
Speaker 1: was here with the Dream Black of Baby.
Speaker 6: But Zach Tops popping.
Speaker 1: Off right now. He's on fire right now.
Speaker 10: But he's gonna I was seeing him on TikTok three
Speaker 10: years ago to just doing little Lives.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's this is a little whispering about Zach
Speaker 4: Top in the back of the bus.
Speaker 1: This kid's the dude. He's a great kid. He's a
Speaker 1: great singer. He's pure. He writes the way he wants
Speaker 1: to write. It sounds like authentic old nineties country. He
Speaker 1: knows his country, he knows his country music history like
Speaker 1: I like me and Ernest dude. But more importantly talking
Speaker 1: about just a voice and an attitude. He's gonna be here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna hear this never Lie song and then
Speaker 1: be like where did Zack Top go? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like it's going to be the opposite. This
Speaker 1: kid's fixing the habit. We're watching this kid on the
Speaker 1: front side of a big run. It's I want to
Speaker 1: remind y'all, I sat on this same bus right before
Speaker 1: the big Morgan and Hardy and Ernest run started, and
Speaker 1: I was like, we're watching the front side of what
Speaker 1: is going to be a really big run. It's it's
Speaker 1: a tsunami that's nowhere near stopping right. This is the
Speaker 1: beginning of a zach Top run for sure. Hey, you
Speaker 1: you saying the and he knows his history. Like, how
Speaker 1: big is that in the community. Because I've also heard,
Speaker 1: like when people talk how well Post Malone has transitioned
Speaker 1: into the country music world, I want to say I
Speaker 1: heard something similar even with Post Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 10: In the grand scheme of things, I guess it doesn't matter,
Speaker 10: but it's something that matters to me and I and
Speaker 10: I and I appreciate and gravitate towards the people it
Speaker 10: does matter to, and I feel like it is our
Speaker 10: responsibility to Like when it talk about gospel is like
Speaker 10: put people on I like doing covers of old records
Speaker 10: to keep those songs alive. Jamie Johnson said it too,
Speaker 10: He's like, as as country singers, it is our responsibility
Speaker 10: to keep the spirit of those before us alive through songs,
Speaker 10: whether it be writing in that spirit or covering those songs.
Speaker 10: Those songs are meant to be sung like they don't
Speaker 10: have to just belong to Like Merle Haggard died, that
Speaker 10: doesn't mean his songs have to You can't go cut
Speaker 10: his songs. So those songs exist. The lifespan of a
Speaker 10: song has no cap on it. It's going to outlive
Speaker 10: all of it either way.
Speaker 1: So my second Grand Old Library performance, I sung Whaling ever,
Speaker 1: because it was important to me that I won. When
Speaker 1: I did it the first time, I did it like
Speaker 1: they'll never bring me back because you just saw I
Speaker 1: thought about everything. Then I was like, this is the
Speaker 1: one around the sun for me. And when they brought
Speaker 1: me back, I was like doubling down. Let's sings Whaling,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because I believe, like he
Speaker 1: said in probably the Grand Scheme, it don't matter and
Speaker 1: to the community. You know, it matters to some, but
Speaker 1: like like I just love country music though, like always have,
Speaker 1: so I just naturally, like he said, we flocked towards
Speaker 1: the people that because like dog, you've been out with me,
Speaker 1: I turn every bar into a hockey tom As soon
Speaker 1: as I get into a bar, we're taking hook up
Speaker 1: my phone or show me where the touch tunes is,
Speaker 1: and I'm finna put one hundred dollars in this thing
Speaker 1: and run this the gauntlet on y'all for the next
Speaker 1: two hours. It's gonna be ay. There's gonna be a
Speaker 1: hockey talk, you know. And the first thing I noticed
Speaker 1: about Post was he's the same guy like we now
Speaker 1: find each other after like Saturday Night Live when we
Speaker 1: do that. When he did the post Nirvana thing, it's
Speaker 1: probably you know, dude, that was probably one of the
Speaker 1: biggest things happened in his career. Think about how big
Speaker 1: of a career he's had. And that night there's all
Speaker 1: these parties out there, Me and him instead ended up
Speaker 1: with THEO at a die bar, no bumping country music
Speaker 1: all night because we just we knew what we like.
Speaker 1: That's us, that's the party we want to be involved in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we knew there wasn't gonna be another party in
Speaker 1: New York City that was gonna be playing Merle Haggard
Speaker 1: her that top.
Speaker 10: On the Losers till four in the morning, hooked up
Speaker 10: to bluetooth, playing old Hank Williams songs and old records.
Speaker 1: It's really cool. But his artist, though, Chandler is I
Speaker 1: think got a chance to be huge.
Speaker 10: Chandler Walters, that's all in that.
Speaker 1: Jake Zach that era is coming.
Speaker 10: You could just feel that Chandler's got that Gary Stewart
Speaker 10: Vince Gill thing going special.
Speaker 4: Man, I don't know who those two people are, but
Speaker 4: I'm with Hill, you see.
Speaker 10: But it's my job to go look him up. Yeah,
Speaker 10: that's tell something cool about the Opry Again. When I
Speaker 10: was ten years old, I went to the Grand Ol
Speaker 10: Opry for the first time. Backstage, uh a girl that
Speaker 10: played for my dad. Her dad was the steel guitar player.
Speaker 10: My dad was a basketball coach in high school. Her
Speaker 10: dad was a steel guitar player in the Opry band,
Speaker 10: and so he knew that I was like getting into
Speaker 10: bluegrass and I had a banjo and was into music
Speaker 10: and stuff third grade, and he was like, you want
Speaker 10: to come to the Opry. So he took me to
Speaker 10: the Opry. We went through that whatever the tent walkway
Speaker 10: signed in catering. Back there, I sat around while they
Speaker 10: did sound checks. I stood side stage and then in
Speaker 10: between set changes, like in the intermission he took me
Speaker 10: out to stand in the circle as a ten year
Speaker 10: old and I got to look out and I was
Speaker 10: like I wanted, I want to be here one day
Speaker 10: and it was always a lifelong like more than anything else,
Speaker 10: any award, anything else, Like I want to be a
Speaker 10: member of the grand Ole Opry, my mom and grandparents.
Speaker 10: That's one everybody can wrap your head around. To me,
Speaker 10: that's like you made it if you're a member of
Speaker 10: the grand ol Opry. Yeah, and like it just yeah,
Speaker 10: it means the world standing in that circle. The next
Speaker 10: time I stood in that circle with my grand Ole
Speaker 10: Opry debut was on most twenty years, probably to the
Speaker 10: date because it was in January, which would have been
Speaker 10: basketball season. But I was thirty years old and it
Speaker 10: was like, wow, the full circle the Opry just is
Speaker 10: there special to me?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that circle is intimidating. It don't get no yeah man,
Speaker 4: but it's cool, like, uh, you brought back the Opry
Speaker 4: back up. The coolest part to me that night was
Speaker 4: watching both of you on stage together, seeing after all,
Speaker 4: it was awesome sure to see you two standing up
Speaker 4: there doing your thing like it was like I just
Speaker 4: kind of sat back from the side, being like, Yo,
Speaker 4: my boys are kind of just they said they were
Speaker 4: going to do something and they went and fucking it
Speaker 4: was our first.
Speaker 10: Some share in the opera stage first and stood in
Speaker 10: the circle together first age.
Speaker 4: It was cool too when you were saying and then
Speaker 4: you stepped out of the circle and like invited. That
Speaker 4: was It just seemed well polished.
Speaker 1: It seemed like it was the circle because that was
Speaker 1: just some nerdy ship. Yeah, yeah, we forgot people were there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was like they're really just in that one
Speaker 4: little space time you guys for them to a big stage.
Speaker 1: I should have moved the mic stand even to get
Speaker 1: a better picture of it. But I was just so
Speaker 1: like the thought of me and one of my best
Speaker 1: friends standing in this circle together and I got to
Speaker 1: do that with Struggle when he debuted, he didn't but
Speaker 1: we didn't get to sing together.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So it was like really really really.
Speaker 10: Cool, get to sing a song we wrote together. From
Speaker 10: that it was my first number one, first number one,
Speaker 10: the song that got me invited to.
Speaker 1: The Grand Old Opry, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: it's really cool.
Speaker 4: There's a bunch of different layers you you like obviously,
Speaker 4: like you went by snow at one point. Yeah, you've
Speaker 4: jumped into like the You've done like the emo music
Speaker 4: as well, Like I've.
Speaker 10: Done every I've done all kinds of music. But the
Speaker 10: one consistent thing songwriting. Yeah, always whether it be rapping,
Speaker 10: making an emo song for fun country music, I'm writing songs,
Speaker 10: and I've I've always explored different avenues somewhat out of
Speaker 10: like early on it was out of rebellion. I didn't
Speaker 10: want to do country because duh, you know, it's like
Speaker 10: everybody's country. I'm from Nashville. I've always loved rap. I've
Speaker 10: always gravitated towards rap, word play, beats, the energy, like
Speaker 10: the confidence and rappers and rappers, and like, I've been
Speaker 10: able to take my ability to freestyle into the writing room.
Speaker 10: So like, even if it's just picking up a guitar,
Speaker 10: I'm freestyle in a song. Yeah, it's just got melody
Speaker 10: and stuff in it.
Speaker 4: That and then Jelly, you were like you were a rapper,
Speaker 4: and then at one point when you started transitioning into
Speaker 4: the country music, you sat here It's like, hey, don't
Speaker 4: get a twisted, I'm still a rapper. But it seems
Speaker 4: like you've really, like both of you have found your lane.
Speaker 4: And like the country rock era, did you see it
Speaker 4: going this way? Or was just like once you saw
Speaker 4: the pet path, it was like all that's clear.
Speaker 1: It was a little different than earnest because I didn't
Speaker 1: know I could sing, so I was just doing what
Speaker 1: I thought my voice would allow for the longest. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But my love for hip hop
Speaker 1: extends way beyond rap, right, like he says, like our
Speaker 1: love for hip hop is deeper than just I love rap,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but man, I love their fashion.
Speaker 1: I love the hip hop culture. I loved, you know,
Speaker 1: I just love everything about it, from graffiti to break dance,
Speaker 1: and like, I was just always fascinated with these kind
Speaker 1: of like these elements because they were all very rebellious,
Speaker 1: Like even early hip hop, like the idea of like
Speaker 1: Biggie standing outside of his project building with a microphone
Speaker 1: and a DJ scratching a sample beat from the rap
Speaker 1: over like it just always felt so outlawed to me,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But always felt the exact
Speaker 1: same way about nineteen seventies country music. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's always Ernest's same thing is that
Speaker 1: we've always been in the same house. It's just been
Speaker 1: different furniture. I've used that from him so many times,
Speaker 1: but it's like, so yeah, to me, I was just
Speaker 1: doing with the voice aloud for the longest time. Frankly,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I didn't think even when
Speaker 1: I was singing on songs. I didn't think I was
Speaker 1: singing on songs. I thought it was more like I
Speaker 1: didn't know the difference between a harmony or a melody,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I was like, yeah, this
Speaker 1: is more like harmonizing, because I've listened to bone thugs
Speaker 1: and harmony, so I thought anything something with my voice
Speaker 1: that was a little no, no, no, no, I was harmonizing.
Speaker 10: I was in my thirties.
Speaker 1: Ernest was playing bluegrass music in the third grade.
Speaker 13: I was shooting nice you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know what it's like, I didn't I didn't pick
Speaker 1: up a guitar till I was in my early thirties.
Speaker 1: I didn't learn the motherfucker until I was thirty nine,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like, so it's been
Speaker 1: a little bit different for me, but the same thing.
Speaker 1: And I think our kinship outside of just hip hop
Speaker 1: is songwriting because at core, I was just trying to
Speaker 1: write songs, like in any form, like whether I was
Speaker 1: harmonizing a hook as I said back then, or I
Speaker 1: was rapping a hook or rapping a verse or had
Speaker 1: these kind of slow melodies.
Speaker 10: We just always writing a note.
Speaker 1: Always. Yeah, I would write anywhere. I still I still
Speaker 1: handwrite everything, except for when I'm in a writer's room,
Speaker 1: like it's three or four of us because I'm not
Speaker 1: a scribe, so some more technological yess voice. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's like I still even in my house right now,
Speaker 1: I'm planning the biggest thing of my career. I'm working
Speaker 1: on that project. And if you go to my house
Speaker 1: right now, it's like a mad scientist. It's like handwritten
Speaker 1: notes all over my downstairs wall, I mean downstairs, like
Speaker 1: my studio desk, my coffee table, my smoke room desk.
Speaker 1: It's just like I look like a sign. It looked
Speaker 1: like a possessed man. It's just like I was taking
Speaker 1: a shower last night. In the middle of the shower,
Speaker 1: I don't called my wife in and I was like
Speaker 1: text this to my computer right now because I was
Speaker 1: thinking about it in the shower, like I'm obsessing about
Speaker 1: it that much. So I still handwrite tons of stuff,
Speaker 1: Like I'm still old school even in that regard. I'll
Speaker 1: still go home and like I'll still like write my
Speaker 1: wife notes, you know what. Like, Yeah, I started back
Speaker 1: writing and cursive this year too. It said, dude, crazy
Speaker 1: when I realized my kid couldn't read cursive, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh no, I got a write cursive. It's the only
Speaker 1: way teacher, you know what I mean. And she's better
Speaker 1: at it than I thought she'd be.
Speaker 4: But it's a lost art cursive. Yeah, that little project
Speaker 4: you got coming up.
Speaker 1: Incredible, the biggest it's the biggest thing in my career.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't even knowing big.
Speaker 1: Things in my career. Can I say this though? Can
Speaker 1: I shamelessly promote something on here? I came here with
Speaker 1: a small agenda. Will knew this.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's about to come up?
Speaker 4: Olympics.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I am the official artist in residents on American
Speaker 1: Idol this season.
Speaker 10: Let's go.
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable. Yes, yes, thank y'all. Ye gig, I
Speaker 1: got this gig the coolest way you can get it
Speaker 1: to I hope they're not mad at me for telling
Speaker 1: the true story, but they invited me. They do mentors
Speaker 1: every year in Hawaii and two different artists mentor a
Speaker 1: different group, and you mentor twelve kids. And I had
Speaker 1: been a fan of the show, so I was always
Speaker 1: tuned in and sung it a couple of the finales,
Speaker 1: and I was there for the em togy season and
Speaker 1: so that's how I got the mentorship job, was just
Speaker 1: being a fan and then I did so good. They
Speaker 1: called him, was like, I know this sounds crazy, but
Speaker 1: we want to create a position where you do that
Speaker 1: the whole season. Wild. Yeah, dude, So I think when
Speaker 1: you look it up, so I don't blow this bubba,
Speaker 1: I think they I think that. That's why I want
Speaker 1: to come right here at y'all's debut week, too, was
Speaker 1: because this is my debut week. I'm not on this episode,
Speaker 1: but I think American Idol starts this week March ninth
Speaker 1: or seventh. I'm spitballing here. Don't leaving linger too long.
Speaker 1: I'm dying, but it's coming soon. Fucking I don't like
Speaker 1: he don't even know when the fuck this thing's coming out,
Speaker 1: but I know the first three or four episodes I'm
Speaker 1: not in because they whittled it down to the top
Speaker 1: forty eight or fifty and then I come in at
Speaker 1: the top fifty and start mentoring through the whole Season's
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna mentor from fifty to two. Whoever wins
Speaker 1: this thing.
Speaker 4: How long were you out there shooting?
Speaker 1: I've already shot for like five or six seven days
Speaker 1: now we've been doing. March ninth season premieeres March ninth,
Speaker 1: ABC stream on Hulu. Dude, I am already biased because
Speaker 1: I'm so involved in this season already. There is so
Speaker 1: much fire on this season, dude. There is so much fire.
Speaker 1: There are so many just heart wrenching stories. There's so
Speaker 1: many fun stories and happy stories, so many great voices.
Speaker 1: Never seen a wider range of talent on American Idol.
Speaker 1: I've watched every season for the last since I've been
Speaker 1: home and watched them from Ruben stuttered forward like I've
Speaker 1: but secret stuttered yeah, ache, dude, right, secret, secret, past, secret,
Speaker 1: Pleasure was always idle, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: to be a part of it, dude, it's huge.
Speaker 2: That's perfect too, because getting on is the mentor role
Speaker 2: with like the final would you say forty something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like ultimately for an artist, like everybody, everybody is good
Speaker 2: and it's up to them to figure out how to
Speaker 2: kind of bring their story out. I feel like you're
Speaker 2: kind of the you would be the perfect mentor for
Speaker 2: something like that. Wait till you see how much we're
Speaker 2: getting these kids stories out, Like how hard was that
Speaker 2: for you to do?
Speaker 1: Well? Believe it or not? The Yeah right, damn, I've
Speaker 1: never seen it more in them right now, dude, big rube, dude.
Speaker 10: Raised Tenpenny wears a Ruben Stutter shirt to this day
Speaker 10: like he's had it for probably dog.
Speaker 1: I would I would wear a Ruben Stutter shirt right
Speaker 1: and shout out right look at them, Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the That's when they came back a couple of seasons ago.
Speaker 1: I was there that night they came back and reunited,
Speaker 1: which I thought was crazy. Yeah, yeah, Ruben loss a
Speaker 1: turn away. It looks the exact doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 2: How was it working with the artists though, Like was
Speaker 2: it tough to get like their their stories out of them?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of artists too, like everybody's
Speaker 2: very like I don't want to I'm just saying EMO
Speaker 2: for lack of a better for lack of a better word,
Speaker 2: but very like to themselves. They just want to create.
Speaker 2: They just want to write. They just want to do
Speaker 2: music and to bring in their backstory and everything else.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's probably hard to.
Speaker 1: Do for sure.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: The coolest thing I get to experience with these kids
Speaker 1: are the difference between them and most things are They're green, Like,
Speaker 1: these kids are like super super you know. These kids
Speaker 1: literally most of them live more often than not hours
Speaker 1: away from a metropolis. Had to drive to that metropolis
Speaker 1: for their audition, you know what I mean. They're like
Speaker 1: closet singers more often than not. They're just great voices
Speaker 1: and this is such a culture shock for them to
Speaker 1: like the idea that I tried it out for American Idol.
Speaker 1: I was bold enough to do it. Then I got
Speaker 1: picked and sent to Hollywood. It's crazy, you know. So
Speaker 1: like you're catching a lot of people who are just
Speaker 1: you know, I always use the term green as a
Speaker 1: pool table twice a square, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: They don't know what's going on.
Speaker 10: It's a pool table twice square, twice as square. Yeah,
Speaker 10: you having trouble with that one, Yeah, Sam.
Speaker 4: Super green, super square, got you got you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Nice?
Speaker 10: Remember where are the ones that smoke?
Speaker 2: I saw Jelly and Hawaii.
Speaker 1: And he I invited Will Compton. I was gonna start
Speaker 1: this podcast this way, but I cut him a breather.
Speaker 1: I find out that Will Compton's in Hawaii. My wife
Speaker 1: hits somebody on my my guy. She's like, Will Compton's there,
Speaker 1: And in my mind, Will Compton's on the island right,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, dude, tell him whatever. I want to
Speaker 1: pull up on him. I got some pot with a smoke.
Speaker 1: I know he's on vacation. He didn't bring nothing, you
Speaker 1: know what. I was like, where is he at? I
Speaker 1: want to go see him. I want to get my hug. Also,
Speaker 1: let him know I'm doing a dinner tomorrow night. He
Speaker 1: should slide through. I'm with I'm here for America. I'm
Speaker 1: here with American idol. So keep now mind you this.
Speaker 1: I invite Will Compton to a dinner. No, this kid's
Speaker 1: even better. Lionel Riches there, carry Underwoods there, Josh Grove
Speaker 1: is there, Luke Bryan's there, A shanty's there.
Speaker 4: You might have to cut a shaky too.
Speaker 2: When I heard a shot the damn.
Speaker 4: I mean literally, who shot is.
Speaker 1: It's like literally like I'm not inviting you to like.
Speaker 11: It, like was just me.
Speaker 1: Island a dinner for two, you know, like your voice.
Speaker 2: I've met so many men and it's like they're all
Speaker 2: the same. Remember that when he hit it with that job.
Speaker 10: Rule, you're not getting out of the rest of the story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he can finish up.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened.
Speaker 2: I ain't gona understand.
Speaker 1: You might have to say yes. Yeah, he politely declined,
Speaker 1: and I was just like, who turns down the American
Speaker 1: Idol dinner? And he blamed it on like that a
Speaker 1: parenting or something something weak we had just laying listen,
Speaker 1: it gets even better. I sorry to cut off, but
Speaker 1: now you don't get the goblet on hear your story.
Speaker 1: So it's just fucking yeah, you stood us up. So
Speaker 1: I wake up the next morning and I'm the first
Speaker 1: thing I wake up and think is literally, man, fuck
Speaker 1: will Compton. I'm like, and that's how my guy comes
Speaker 1: to get me, and we go to take off for
Speaker 1: our walk and buy the pool playoff Willie Dog shirt
Speaker 1: off ten Am sunburnt, big white looks like he's gonna
Speaker 1: play football with the big white things. Across the just
Speaker 1: so he didn't want to get tan right here, but

Speaker 4: It was a block of walking distant from the got
Speaker 4: gotta live with the steps.
Speaker 2: The rebuttal is. We landed that day in the middle
Speaker 2: of the afternoon. So when we got there, we checked
Speaker 2: in the hotel and we're walking off to see then
Speaker 2: to go check out the sunset, and we see the
Speaker 2: American Idol states you can put up. We're like, oh shit,
Speaker 2: American Idol. Like maybe someone off or some side quest
Speaker 2: of American American idols out here, because I haven't kept
Speaker 2: up with all the American Idol stuff. But I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's sick. I wonder if like Ryan Seacrest and Carrie Underwood,
Speaker 2: and they're out here. Sure, they start getting they get
Speaker 2: they get introduced and start walking out. And then like,
Speaker 2: as we're walking over to the to the spot of
Speaker 2: the hotel for the sunset, I hear jelly Roll, so
Speaker 2: I kind of like look back and see if he
Speaker 2: ends up walking out. I'm like, man, did I hear
Speaker 2: that right? Because I don't see jelly walk out. I
Speaker 2: don't know how. I don't know how that went down,

Speaker 2: American I don't tics I just need to know, like
Speaker 2: when I can see Jelly because if he's here, I've
Speaker 2: got to see him before we split up. I find
Speaker 2: out he's staying at the Four Seasons. Oh this is perfect.
Speaker 2: He's like, we're also gonna get dinner tonight if you

Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is fucking insane.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Van Go, I'll be sto like a little.
Speaker 1: Off. That's I had. So I didn't know who Vang was.
Speaker 1: I know nothing about art. And we were on the
Speaker 1: flight from Hawaii to New York after I left you
Speaker 1: because I had to go do the S and L
Speaker 1: fifty thing. So we had like one of those you know,
Speaker 1: ten hour travel days, you know, just just just straight
Speaker 1: travel days. So we're just sitting on a plane cooking, right,
Speaker 1: We're just like bacon bacon, and I get high enough
Speaker 1: if somebody tells me this dude cuts his hair off
Speaker 1: for a girl. Yeah, No, I didn't hear that. I
Speaker 1: just heard it was just some crazy.
Speaker 4: Did mail it to her too. He cut his off
Speaker 4: for a girl and mail.
Speaker 1: Is that why he went to the to the place
Speaker 1: where he drew all the stuff that ended up being
Speaker 1: the ship that really went and he died, and which
Speaker 1: is yeah, no, hold on, hold on, Almost all of
Speaker 1: them died before it popped off. Yeah, for sure, this entire.
Speaker 10: Yeah, God, I love you.
Speaker 6: Kidding me.
Speaker 10: That's him.
Speaker 1: Then. So anyways, we got so high, and while we're
Speaker 1: on the way there, I'm getting so excited about this.
Speaker 1: We find out that the Starry Night painting was at
Speaker 1: the Mama. It's a museum of modern arts in Manhattan,
Speaker 1: and it was like a block away from our hotel.
Speaker 1: So the night after Saturday Night Live, they they opened
Speaker 1: it up for us after hours and took us and
Speaker 1: taught us about all of We walked through the whole moment.
Speaker 4: You're pulling New York. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Did you blow in in there? Wow?
Speaker 1: We hit the rig.
Speaker 2: We hit the rig, We hit the rig.
Speaker 4: They had this like a immersive little deal in New
Speaker 4: Orleans one time when I was there for a van
Speaker 4: go and put the little headset on and walked ough.
Speaker 4: Yeah it was pretty dope. But just as you get
Speaker 4: high before that, No, no, and not. I should have
Speaker 4: arts way cooler high all that's crazy.
Speaker 10: The thing is, there's so many times when I'm at
Speaker 10: cool places, and most of the time I am high,
Speaker 10: But when I'm not, I'm like, should have gotten high.
Speaker 2: For this medium, not that I.
Speaker 4: Little It's like turning up just a little bit.
Speaker 10: It's like you can run and grass without cleats on,
Speaker 10: but cleats definitely help. And that's we so.
Speaker 1: Much.
Speaker 4: He's never made me paranoid, though sometimes I get too paranoid.
Speaker 1: Sober Jelly would be like, so this dude painted something
Speaker 1: and cut his ear off about a girl. Stone Jelly
Speaker 1: is like, you're telling me this, dude, this is the
Speaker 1: most famous painter ever. And he clipped his ear off
Speaker 1: for a chick.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta see this. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like, as soon as I was thrown,
Speaker 1: I was like, tell me more. And he had a rival.
Speaker 1: I think his name was Gang Gagan. It's spelled different,
Speaker 1: but like g au Gi or something like that. But
Speaker 1: he was like his because his paintings are there and
Speaker 1: they uh, yeah, that's it, Paul, but it's spelled it
Speaker 1: says how you pronounce it's different. But this dude had
Speaker 1: some really dark ship. He was another one that didn't
Speaker 1: pop to He was more popular than Van Go, but
Speaker 1: it didn't pop until after he died too, for real, for.
Speaker 4: Real, dude, that's got to be the worst none of
Speaker 4: your life.
Speaker 1: None of them lived to see it. Yea god I
Speaker 1: think I think Da Vinci and Michaelangel are the only
Speaker 1: two that like lived to be like the heroes that
Speaker 1: we know them to be. The other ones were just
Speaker 1: like considered fucking wild lunatics and.
Speaker 2: It just popped.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we may not live to see the shadow of
Speaker 10: the tree with sieves in which we plant today. That's
Speaker 10: just your n brother. He came from the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we seen some Picassos too.
Speaker 10: Yeah, dude, have you ever been to Sonic Picasso?
Speaker 1: His whole ship was outlaw.
Speaker 2: By the way, what Sonic ranch? Sonic Ranch is?
Speaker 10: It's also, Yeah, that's where I've been.
Speaker 1: I've been once, but I ain't that where.
Speaker 10: So I went out there. I went out there with
Speaker 10: co and me and Cheese did for like three days.
Speaker 10: That place is an insane haunted vibe on the old
Speaker 10: record of the one he's working on now on the
Speaker 10: old record, and all the rooms are insane. But the
Speaker 10: guy that owns the property grew up on that property.
Speaker 10: His parents were murdered on that property, probably by cartel.
Speaker 10: That's right on the border. There's all kinds of shit
Speaker 10: going on there. But like, I think the cats are
Speaker 10: literally human spirits reincarnated there. They're all such a vibe.
Speaker 10: But there's Picasso's all over his property. He's an insane
Speaker 10: art collector. He's got Steve Ray Vaughan's guitar.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 10: That place, the the energy in there is the kind.
Speaker 1: Of place you go locked down and recording. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like when you go you got two months to
Speaker 1: work on an album. Yeah, it's kind of place you.
Speaker 4: Just go lock yourself into a place where two people
Speaker 4: are murdered by the cartel reincarnated cats with reincarnated.
Speaker 10: Cats, the cats bro I have two cats. I get
Speaker 10: the cats are like a different thing. But these cats,
Speaker 10: dog were like looking at me on some I'm a human,
Speaker 10: was a human, this is my area. We're cool. Like
Speaker 10: he got on my bed and would not leave. I
Speaker 10: was like, I open the doors that you have to go,
Speaker 10: and he just just kind of rolling around trying to
Speaker 10: slap at me, which you're you're probably just like it's
Speaker 10: total cat behavior. I'm like, dude, I'm like, dude, I'm
Speaker 10: gonna go to dinner. I'm gonna leave this door crack.
Speaker 10: You have to be gone when I get back.
Speaker 4: You're talking to the cat.
Speaker 6: When I get back.
Speaker 10: This is creeping me out. And the cat was just
Speaker 10: there looking at me like that. When I got back
Speaker 10: on the so I got back, there wasn't that cat was.
Speaker 10: It was like a dark gray cat and he was
Speaker 10: just staring at me like you made it back. I
Speaker 10: didn't leave, And so in my mind, that's reincarnation.
Speaker 4: That's checks out.
Speaker 10: That checks out. That's the other cats would have just
Speaker 10: gotten up and gone.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, two cats.
Speaker 1: Yet you like your cat. I love how many pictures
Speaker 1: there's cats all over the property.
Speaker 10: It's all the people that have died in the You die,
Speaker 10: you turn to a cat and stay at Sonic Branch,
Speaker 10: get to listen to co wets on music. Is it heaven?
Speaker 1: Does?
Speaker 10: It depends on what you like?
Speaker 1: What's what's your favorite studio you've ever worked out of?
Speaker 10: Mm hmm. The Castle was a good vibe. I'd say
Speaker 10: East Iris Cave is probably the amount of time I've
Speaker 10: spent there is more than any other studio I've spent
Speaker 10: time in. But the vibe there allowed it to be
Speaker 10: the best time. The Cave of East Irish.
Speaker 1: Dude, I got it. It's probably Electric Lady in New
Speaker 1: York City. But you know, oh yeah, yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: they saved me of a center.

Speaker 10: Will I don't name it after you?
Speaker 1: This man, this dude, it's it is like it would
Speaker 1: mean so much. I wanted to be the last show
Speaker 1: at the old, the original stadium. But now that I've

Speaker 1: feel like maybe that itchcat scratch a little bit, it's
Speaker 1: gonna Does that.
Speaker 2: Mean they said no as the last show in the stadium?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, No, I didn't even try. I didn't

Speaker 1: you got to pick one there, and that's a. That's a.
Speaker 1: That's a tough struggle, Henry. It sucks so bad.
Speaker 2: That sucks, it's so rough.
Speaker 4: But that stadium is going to be insane. It is insane.
Speaker 1: It's gonna beautiful, man, It's gonna be so good for
Speaker 1: the city. I just hope we can figure out a program.
Speaker 10: When do you think we'll have a super.
Speaker 4: Quickly after that? Two years series after that? I don't
Speaker 4: know how far in advance.
Speaker 1: They do it. And that's my other dream. I would prophesytic.
Speaker 1: Now they're gonna let Morgan do it, or they're gonna
Speaker 1: let Garth do it, and either one of them are gonna,
Speaker 1: fucking God willing let the local boy come out and
Speaker 1: do his versus. Just my first verses saved me, just
Speaker 1: so I can say to the super Bowl, like Doctor
Speaker 1: Dre did when the Homies came out, will play the
Speaker 1: super Bowl time? Because I mean, who you know, hopefully
Speaker 1: what I mean My dream would be whether it's that
Speaker 1: they when it comes to Nashville, they do a country
Speaker 1: music super Bowl and it's not even about an artist,
Speaker 1: Like it cuts to Garth on one stage and he's
Speaker 1: doing Friends, and then it goes to Riba and then
Speaker 1: Laney and then Me and then Morgan. It's like, yes,
Speaker 1: eighteen minutes landscape, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm doing a shoeye with my shirt off.
Speaker 10: That would mean the name of the coliseum. I wish
Speaker 10: they would bring back the Adelphia Delphia Coliseum was the
Speaker 10: hardest name. So is gay Lord.
Speaker 1: So that's the old Nissan behind it, right right next
Speaker 1: to it, so it's literally on the banks the.
Speaker 4: Park to the highway that is, that's where the new
Speaker 4: stadium has. Wow, they're downing it in hopefully it's yeah,
Speaker 4: I think it'll be unreal. And it's definitely tailored around
Speaker 4: like Nashville culture, not just football. Like they definitely have
Speaker 4: a lot of things where people are gonna want to
Speaker 4: go to the game because it's also there's events going
Speaker 4: around the game as well. That's what National runs into
Speaker 4: is that there's so much to do in that city.
Speaker 4: There's so much to do, live music, so much talent,
Speaker 4: and so it's like you go to go on vacation
Speaker 4: in Nashville, but I mean you catch a game possible.
Speaker 2: They need to know is build the stadium like the
Speaker 2: BNA Airport. You get off the airport and you know
Speaker 2: that you are incause they got all the local hits.
Speaker 10: Don't have it at the airport.
Speaker 1: I'm sure.
Speaker 4: I'm sure you guys haven't been in the commercial terminal
Speaker 4: in a while. It's really nice.
Speaker 10: Too much time in the commercial Yeah, I was Southwest

Speaker 10: in the middle. Perfect. I'm like one of the last
Speaker 10: ones boarding. I sit in the window seat, windows really
Speaker 10: hot because the sun's beating down on it, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 10: this is fine.
Speaker 1: And then are your eyes closed because you're reliving it.
Speaker 10: I need to get out of that moment. But this
Speaker 10: dude's coming. He's like he's not a super big Dude's
Speaker 10: just a bigger dude. And he's wearing a big coat
Speaker 10: and he could have picked twenty seven other middle seats
Speaker 10: and chose this one dog. And I was like blustered
Speaker 10: when he says that, and it's like, we got this
Speaker 10: much space, We're doing great. Yeah, you're somehow taking up
Speaker 10: less space than this dude. He was like sitting like
Speaker 10: this and didn't take his coat off for a four
Speaker 10: and a half hour flight, and the sun was on
Speaker 10: my shoulder for a four and a half hour flight.
Speaker 10: And it's like he's obviously got both both armrest and
Speaker 10: I'm like pressed against it, so I've my elbow's gone

Speaker 4: We got on the planet's him and his nutrition and
Speaker 4: the plane is twice the bush.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The cabin is massive. Yeah, just like I love a
Speaker 4: sandwich to go to the kitchen and cook. The damn
Speaker 4: thing that they hooked up. Man, I was like, damn,
Speaker 4: this is nice.
Speaker 1: It's a man, it's the best, it's the best. It
Speaker 1: was a game changer.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: What happened was I was joking with Keith Urban about this.
Speaker 1: He was giving me some advice. Keith Urban is such
Speaker 1: a good mentor him him, Keith Urban, Uh, Kid Rock
Speaker 1: and Eric Church have been the most giving a real
Speaker 1: advice to me, like liter like good like good mentorship.
Speaker 1: And Keith said, look, man, the travel day is not
Speaker 1: an off day. And I said, Keith, you think I
Speaker 1: get travel days right now? I was like, we worked,
Speaker 1: you know, like we landed, talking about you know how
Speaker 1: we went to go see the sunset and rested because
Speaker 1: we flew all day. I flew the same flight, landed
Speaker 1: and had to do a six hour shoot. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like that's how tight the schedule is
Speaker 1: for me. Like I would, I don't fly private this
Speaker 1: much because I don't want to one. I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: to justify, but I will. I don't fly private. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, but I do it because we don't have
Speaker 1: a choice. Like there's no way I'm getting from Hawaii
Speaker 1: to New York and then doing a song that night
Speaker 1: in New York when I worked the night before in
Speaker 1: Hawaii without getting on a jet. Imposs crazy logistically, it's
Speaker 1: white vacation. Took a shot right there. But he said,
Speaker 1: we don't get to go see the sunset. Change my life, dude,
Speaker 1: for sure. It's so much cool. We still fly commercial
Speaker 1: probably three times, like when we don't have to fly
Speaker 1: fly commercial, but what a pain in.
Speaker 4: The yeah on once you've had it, once you get
Speaker 4: on the flight, you're like this, I see what all
Speaker 4: the fuss is about for people trying.
Speaker 2: To day for Nebraska Michigan. When we got to hit
Speaker 2: that Taylor.
Speaker 1: But the Taylor thing was actually one of those you
Speaker 1: know and Taylor hanging out at the fight, We're sucking.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the boys, so right, yeah you should have. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 10: He was a Charlie Hansome's wedding, Charlie Hanson's my chef
Speaker 10: was the plus.
Speaker 1: One because Ernest couldn't come. I got the coolest thing
Speaker 1: set up.
Speaker 10: I watched from the wedding.
Speaker 1: Saw you. I was like, bro, I'm telling you. I
Speaker 1: was like, between Amber, Dana and Hunter, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: the best seats on earth.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 1: I was like, we gotta go, like, trust me, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be fired. Like we're gonna we're gonna go eat,
Speaker 1: We're gonna go see the fight. We're gonna come right
Speaker 1: back home. And Ernest is like, fuck, yeah, I'm in,
Speaker 1: and then he hit back. He's like, fuck, it's Charlie
Speaker 1: Handsome's wedding and I'm in the wedding. So the chef came.
Speaker 1: So we're leaving. I'm looking at Taylor. I'm like, I said,
Speaker 1: when are you going home? He's like tomorrow. I was like,
Speaker 1: what time is your flight? And he was like if
Speaker 1: he'd have been like two out of been like, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe him and Taylor are trying to, like, you know,
Speaker 1: wrestle around the night and sleep in and go see
Speaker 1: the fucking the Empire sty.
Speaker 4: Try to wrestle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel me. I'm like, I don't know. And
Speaker 1: then he's like but he' said yeah, it's like eight am.
Speaker 1: I was like, Bubba, it's midnight. You might as well
Speaker 1: just get on the plane with me.
Speaker 6: Dog.
Speaker 4: It was awesome. It was actually fucking chaos for me
Speaker 4: and JP because we like, we were like four blocks
Speaker 4: away our hotel. So we went and ran got our
Speaker 4: suitcases and ran back. And then I'm like, dude, there's
Speaker 4: no way because you said we had to get there
Speaker 4: by twelve thirty.
Speaker 1: You know, the plane turned. The plane is like a bus,
Speaker 1: you know that it turns into a pumpkin after twelve.
Speaker 4: Hours, right, because the pilots have like this, regulations, regulations,
Speaker 4: so we were cutting it. Dude, I thought there was
Speaker 4: no way we're gonna make it, and there's we had
Speaker 4: all of NYPD giving us a ride to the airport.
Speaker 10: Talk about some of these escorts. I've been in crazy, Hey,
Speaker 10: I gotta I want to We've never even got to
Speaker 10: hash this out because we've just been on the escort
Speaker 10: and then we had to go work. That is some
Speaker 10: of the most intense driving scenarios I've ever been to myself,
Speaker 10: been found myself in. We're like, yeah, in a police escort.
Speaker 10: There's a cop in front of us, two cops behind us,
Speaker 10: and me and Jelly Roll are passing a joint around.
Speaker 10: Somebody's ripping a dab brig in the back. Jelly Roll
Speaker 10: loves to wait until right here to stop. And I thought,
Speaker 10: but you know, the first two times I was in
Speaker 10: the cars like, Oh, he didn't give a fuck. He's
Speaker 10: just gonna rear into cop. We'll get in the second suv,
Speaker 10: the cops will have to figure it out. We'll be
Speaker 10: on our way. I never thought we're going to jail.
Speaker 10: I was just like, oh, we're definitely gonna have some
Speaker 10: sort of bang in with. Eventually I realized that, oh,
Speaker 10: he just knows how to whip like that. I was like,
Speaker 10: bro's he's been whipping. He's gonna be fine. He's not
Speaker 10: worried about it. I think he probably likes it. I'm
Speaker 10: about shipping my pants and I'm over here. It's like,
Speaker 10: there's obviously not a break on the floor board, but
Speaker 10: I'm fucking I'm like this while I'm still and dude,
Speaker 10: it never we never had any wreck. There was a
Speaker 10: close one, but it was a dumb ass that tried
Speaker 10: to just pull into the escort. It's like, uh, but yeah,
Speaker 10: no recks got there smoothly. The cops all knew what
Speaker 10: it was because he's so good to each department. You
Speaker 10: take care of them, gives them challenge, coins probably makes
Speaker 10: a little donation, takes care of them and then they yeah,
Speaker 10: and it's great And we should have been doing this
Speaker 10: twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: I thought, I've been thinking that all the time. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I wish I would because the police they're nice to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who would have thought the coming straight from the underground. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how I feel.
Speaker 4: It's sucking off Oh no, the fucking nuts. That drive
Speaker 4: is crazy because you already you were a passenger at
Speaker 4: that time, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I got that's the only city I won't
Speaker 1: drive in New York. Man, I trust that guy.
Speaker 4: You guys, are you gonna go to more UFC fights?
Speaker 1: Dude? I have so. Dan and I went to the
Speaker 1: Apex that first time. We hung out at the Apex,
Speaker 1: and I had I'd been to seeing the wiman Anders
Speaker 1: fight before, but I sat like in the nosebleeds and
Speaker 1: it was still crazy. But when we were in the
Speaker 1: Apex and you could hear, you know, it's.
Speaker 2: So quiet in there.
Speaker 4: You could hear flesh on flesh.
Speaker 1: Flesh on flesh, Like when that dude would hit a
Speaker 1: spinning kick, you would hear the thud. It was in you.
Speaker 1: By the third round, you hear them dudes audibly like
Speaker 1: crazy breathing. And I was like, this is nuts. So
Speaker 1: then we went to the UH. We went to UH,
Speaker 1: the other one, and that's whenever I caught the bug.
Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta go to like one of
Speaker 1: the big, big ones, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: then when we went out to that fight, I've been
Speaker 1: wanting to go so bad it's the there is no
Speaker 1: greater live sporting event. Then if you're sitting in there,
Speaker 1: like when John Jones kick Steep Pe in the liver
Speaker 1: and same that sounds shot through that arena like a
Speaker 1: shotgun and once and then the the pop, the explosion,
Speaker 1: just you're so close to it. Also, you forget, like
Speaker 1: John Jones not only being the greatest of all time.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I wonder how you feel about
Speaker 1: this because you're such a big man, but like, dog,
Speaker 1: I've seen John standing right in front of me, and
Speaker 1: you're like that, dude's scary, motherfucker dog because he's so
Speaker 1: humble and quiet and smiles and all his interviews, Like
Speaker 1: you know, he's big, and you watch him hurt people,
Speaker 1: so you know we can hurt people kind of, But
Speaker 1: it's still different than when you're standing right from here
Speaker 1: to JP from him and you're like.
Speaker 10: What in those he's a distraction? Okay, y.
Speaker 1: Wan size. If Taylor Lawan did nothing his whole life
Speaker 1: but lift weights and fight, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 10: Arguably, would you have a box? No, dude, No, did
Speaker 10: you ever get any good fights?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: When I was younger, I would get some scraps, but
Speaker 4: I haven't. My last time I ever intentionally thought somebody
Speaker 4: was twenty fourteen, my first like three weeks here in Nashville,
Speaker 4: and since then it's losers, losers.
Speaker 10: Nice dude, it don't happen.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I used to be a little menaced. I
Speaker 4: I used to look for a way, look for a
Speaker 4: reason in any situation.
Speaker 10: Get that's such a hard video, but now that is.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But dudes like John Jones who are like you, just
Speaker 4: they're also nice and around, but you just know what
Speaker 4: they could do. It's like, that's got to be the
Speaker 4: best feeling in the world to be like, no one
Speaker 4: can really fuck with me if they tried, and it
Speaker 4: would take four or five guys.
Speaker 10: We sat by each other. A power slap that was.
Speaker 1: That was a vibe.
Speaker 2: Going full seasons themselves.
Speaker 4: No, you're just standing there. You're holding a padded stick
Speaker 4: behind you and you're just green. Like he flinched.
Speaker 10: Get back up there.
Speaker 2: It's like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 10: On Thursday night.
Speaker 4: Dude, it is a zoo in there.
Speaker 1: There's so many differ person under his beard is from
Speaker 1: him turning.
Speaker 4: That's that's the wolverine.
Speaker 2: From Missouri.
Speaker 4: He's from Missouri. We we interviewed the Power Slap one.
Speaker 4: We interviewed a bunch of guys and the winner gets
Speaker 4: like ten thousand dollars, was starting yeah, and we're like, hey,
Speaker 4: what are you gonna What are you gonna do with
Speaker 4: the ten thousands? Like, oh, man, I think I'm a
Speaker 4: My wife wants a new pair of tits. That like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: good investor, good investment.
Speaker 10: Good investment. Yeah, man, actually lasts a long time, twenty years.
Speaker 4: Those says are good.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 10: It's spend two grand at a strip tonight, or spend
Speaker 10: ten grand and look at a good pair of tits
Speaker 10: the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: This might not last for ever, but this will at home.
Speaker 2: Let's fix the home life.
Speaker 1: No doubt.
Speaker 10: What did you say about your home life?
Speaker 4: The UFC, though, Dude, the way they put us at
Speaker 4: like every time we go, I'm just like in awe
Speaker 4: about how close.
Speaker 1: We are, how they allow us to do what we
Speaker 1: do there Hunter and Diana do for you and me.
Speaker 10: It's amazable, Like it is just.
Speaker 1: Dana is like you know what, it reminds me of Rogan,
Speaker 1: Like they have that similar spirit of like when you
Speaker 1: get in that ether and you become a part of
Speaker 1: that family. It's it's over your family.
Speaker 2: You're in it.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, like how fast everybody is just like, no,
Speaker 1: this is our guy. Like and listen that dude to
Speaker 1: the writer of Dana does not get enough fucking.
Speaker 4: No, he does not.
Speaker 1: He's a savage, is the motherfucking man. Dude. Hunter is
Speaker 1: one of the best dudes i've He's his business but
Speaker 1: his spirit. Dude. He came to see my showing in Vegas.
Speaker 1: He came in and hung out the whole night like
Speaker 1: just one of the dudes. Man, he is one of
Speaker 1: the sweetest dudes man, Hunter, Dana. I know y'all might
Speaker 1: not see this clip. We want you to know on
Speaker 1: behalf of the Boys and Jelly Roll thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a thousand thank yous is not enough. Literally, Amber, thank you.
Speaker 10: And I love y'all from a distance.
Speaker 2: I remember when Taylor was talking about you went to
Speaker 2: was it McGregor diaz right, yeah.
Speaker 4: Back in like sixteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just remember, like I never really had a
Speaker 2: bucket list, but a bucket list thing was like being
Speaker 2: out a UFC fight in Vegas and knowing these seats
Speaker 2: that they hook you up with, bro and you you
Speaker 2: just walk out the tunnel and they go and sit
Speaker 2: you like right there, and you're kind of just looking
Speaker 2: over like, y yo, how in the fuck did we?
Speaker 1: You know what else is crazy?
Speaker 4: Every UFC fight I've been to, I have been in
Speaker 4: the front of front rows before it gets to like
Speaker 4: the media desk where data and like Trump sit and
Speaker 4: so I'm like as close as post. But the only
Speaker 4: time I haven't was when it was like Trump just
Speaker 4: got elected and it was Tulsi, Gabbern the whole squad
Speaker 4: and we were like we just had one behind. But
Speaker 4: every time I sit there, I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, our cabinet was in front of me.
Speaker 4: There was a time, did you just do something nasty
Speaker 4: to America? That would be it?
Speaker 1: You know, it was crazy. It wasn't realized this. That's
Speaker 1: why jd Vance wasn't there. Yeah, makes sense, because I
Speaker 1: looked all night and I was so confused. I was like,
Speaker 1: why is jd Vance not here? It'd be a great
Speaker 1: time to show unitudes like you can't have the president
Speaker 1: and the newly evicted price vice president in the same room,
Speaker 1: especially when there's been an assassination attempt on the president elect, right,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? They did not because I
Speaker 1: was confused because j D's like seemed like the kind
Speaker 1: of dude that would go and hang out too, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. He'd be like, no, I'm not they.
Speaker 4: Gonna switch off you for a fight. Trump's like he
Speaker 4: was at slat boxing.
Speaker 2: I was like speaking of he was like us watching from.
Speaker 10: That who's that one dumpling?
Speaker 1: One of the heavyweights? He just did Hawaiian They just
Speaker 1: have a second fight.
Speaker 4: Is that the Russian cat?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Cat, Well, he's the big He's got a big
Speaker 1: be a beard. I don't know if he's rushing or
Speaker 1: white trains, but it all breaks similar to me.
Speaker 4: Dude, He's not Russian anywhere the US. He just to fish.
Speaker 2: My thought.
Speaker 4: The UFC thing is just crazy that there's probably so
Speaker 4: many people that should be sitting in those seats. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we get to sit there.
Speaker 2: You look at your right. That one time we were
Speaker 2: there and it's like Mark Wahlberg's.
Speaker 4: To Mark Wahlberg, DAPs me up. Now, He's like, hey,
Speaker 4: good to see you.
Speaker 1: I'm like when we want We.
Speaker 2: Walked in the hotel and he's like, I love what
Speaker 2: you're doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know there's no way that dude, No, but I'm.
Speaker 4: Powerlap Is after all these fights, like guys getting knocked
Speaker 4: out or whatever, there's always this big gambling party at
Speaker 4: the Fountain Blue high Roller and they just they're just
Speaker 4: rolling around the swollen faces and everything.
Speaker 1: Dude, I like him. Doesn't that look like cats?
Speaker 10: That looks like a Roman sculpture.
Speaker 1: That looks like the dude I'd be a fan of.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Go Doublinggo.
Speaker 10: Michael, Michael Angelo.
Speaker 4: Those cats are different, man, different.
Speaker 2: It's blown up.
Speaker 4: But yeah, the US is awesome.
Speaker 1: The best.
Speaker 10: Are those are those fake biceps?

Speaker 4: like it's an obvious yes to.

Speaker 4: Nothing like hitting him with a beach ball.
Speaker 1: That's dumpling too.
Speaker 4: He's about to kill this little neck.
Speaker 2: That is hilarious. Look at this motherfucker.
Speaker 10: Oh my goodness, two classic T shirt.

Speaker 4: Yeah, Rush we enner up this episode to bring you
Speaker 4: our Roe partner.
Speaker 1: Roe dude.
Speaker 4: So it's always a litt uncomfortable right sometimes jumping into
Speaker 4: the bedroom. Do you want to perform at your best
Speaker 4: all these types of things. Row, you can't beat it
Speaker 4: with Roe. They got these nice little things called rose sparks.
Speaker 4: There are two and one prescription treatment for guys who
Speaker 4: need a secret weapon against softness. They hit the bloodstream
Speaker 4: faster because they dissolve under the tongue and getting hard
Speaker 4: faster means there's no more waiting to perform after rose
Speaker 4: sparks dissolves. They work in fifteen minutes on average, all
Speaker 4: based on metabolism, right like sometimes fifteen, sometimes we'll hire
Speaker 4: sometimes a little lower, but on the average that's fifteen.
Speaker 4: Rose sparks stays active in your system for thirty six hours,
Speaker 4: so you can go back to back to back round
Speaker 4: after a round, be ready the morning after. ROW connects
Speaker 4: guys with a medical provider one hundred percent online, so
Speaker 4: there's no awkward conversation with in person providers. If approved
Speaker 4: treatment ships directly to their door.
Speaker 2: And it's discreet, and it's true discreet, that's the big thing.
Speaker 10: You go out.
Speaker 2: I went out to my mailbox over the weekend, finally
Speaker 2: got me. Somebody threw one in under my tongue and
Speaker 2: let my wife know it was about.
Speaker 1: To be on.
Speaker 4: Yeh, I'll see in fifteen to thirty. Yeah, I'll see
Speaker 4: in fifteen minutes on average.
Speaker 1: Well, I let her know.
Speaker 2: I said, hey, if you don't mind, you can go
Speaker 2: ahead and go to bed. Your boy's gonna go up
Speaker 2: and goon on pug for a little bit of sureon.
Speaker 2: But I went down and woke up from her sleep
Speaker 2: and let her know. And then after I got done,

Speaker 2: boys rocked up ready to go the next morning. But

Speaker 4: Talking about the studios. What what makes a studio great?
Speaker 4: Is the sound in it? Or is it the story?
Speaker 4: When you're talking about this hunted place in Vie.
Speaker 10: It could be a super nice, high tech, brand new
Speaker 10: studio not have the vibe. It could be an old,
Speaker 10: ranky you know, smells like cigarette smoke and be the
Speaker 10: best vibe.
Speaker 1: Jim Henson in l A love that place so much
Speaker 1: history there sometimes history too, like you know what else
Speaker 1: about studios even when they're like old, Like I love
Speaker 1: that when you go into older studios that had that
Speaker 1: old original wood they put in there, keep it that, like,
Speaker 1: never lose that feeling of that old studio. Would Man,
Speaker 1: it's Jim Henson, No, dude, it's it's awesome. So you know, Keith, Dude,
Speaker 1: John Mayer just bought this I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's public or not. But John mayeror just
Speaker 1: saved this place from getting bout. Yeah, it was like
Speaker 1: he wanted to keep it how it was like just
Speaker 1: a musician and it was like fuse to little corporatize
Speaker 1: it and turn it into something. That's where we are.
Speaker 1: The world was cut.
Speaker 10: We are that's right, we are the children, that's right.
Speaker 10: They were right there where we're facing what we're facing
Speaker 10: the tracking room in Nashville. Keith Urban just bought and
Speaker 10: it is exactly how it's been for thirty forty years.
Speaker 10: All these massive records have been cutting there. And I'm
Speaker 10: standing in there with Keith and he's showing me a
Speaker 10: video of him on his He showed me on his
Speaker 10: phone a video of him recording some of his biggest records,
Speaker 10: standing in the place where he is in this video,
Speaker 10: and everything's exactly the same. Dude, it was like inception.
Speaker 10: I'm watching Keith Urban watch a video of him right
Speaker 10: there in the same chair and like the green walls
Speaker 10: behind it, and dude, I'm like, oh, this is a
Speaker 10: head trip those moments and like being an abbey road
Speaker 10: going to walk through the bow, and like here in
Speaker 10: the they have like a reverb chamber. It's just like
Speaker 10: an old bomb shelter basically that they've miked up. It's
Speaker 10: like those where history is soaked in, taking it back
Speaker 10: to the circle. The like the wood in the in
Speaker 10: the Ryman Auditorium lived through so much history and so
Speaker 10: many moments and so much energy, keeping that spirit literally,
Speaker 10: keeping that spirit alive through studios. I think that's important.
Speaker 10: Like it's sad when they tear down Studio A and
Speaker 10: music Row and put a restaurant in or something. We
Speaker 10: need to preserve these because what we're doing, the concrete
Speaker 10: base that started what we're doing is recorded in these rooms.
Speaker 10: And I am the type of guy that would love
Speaker 10: to go in there and soak that out. Yeah, those
Speaker 10: are the reverb chambers.
Speaker 1: And they got hold on. They got one in sound
Speaker 1: pulled up sound important a room. It's my favorite room
Speaker 1: in Nashville. It's got a it's got a reverb chamber
Speaker 1: that you've got the crawled in. Yeah, like in the
Speaker 1: very very back of it. So does that room look
Speaker 1: for me or to anybody here? Yeah, you all ready
Speaker 1: for this. If that camera was turned the other way
Speaker 1: and you see where that microphone is right there in
Speaker 1: this one right there, imagine there was a camera in
Speaker 1: front of it. That's where I shot Saved Me. That's
Speaker 1: where I recorded save the Center. It's where we wrote
Speaker 1: some of a sentence I wrote save Me.
Speaker 4: So if all the places you guys have been, what's
Speaker 4: the number one if you had to pick one that
Speaker 4: was like this is the work out of or been in,
Speaker 4: got to go to video to work out of there?
Speaker 1: It is? Ye see, yeah, same room. That room is
Speaker 1: my favorite room. Man, so that's the one where you
Speaker 1: got to crawl into the uh, into the reverb chamber
Speaker 1: if you want to get the big echoey stuff like
Speaker 1: it's like a like a probably the size of that
Speaker 1: door right there, but it's up, so you got to
Speaker 1: kind of step up on something and crawl through it.
Speaker 10: I want to go in muscle shows a bunch of I.
Speaker 1: Haven't record an album a muscle shows, but to just
Speaker 1: like do it old school and pull up the bus
Speaker 1: and camp out for like two months. Yeah, we should
Speaker 1: go together. Should that be our album?
Speaker 10: Yes, muscle shows? Yeah, and we film it all. It's
Speaker 10: it's the're not like everything, you don't everything.
Speaker 2: I feel like we're in a think tank with him
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of love it. Yeah, it's just such
Speaker 4: a different world that we're even we have no idea
Speaker 4: to go.
Speaker 10: To Musclesho and do that though I Loved you or abroad.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What's it like when you feel like you've made something
Speaker 2: that it's going to be a banger and it's just
Speaker 2: not or it doesn't even it doesn't even make the album.
Speaker 2: It's kind of maybe a little shot to the ego
Speaker 2: that everybody's not buying in this.
Speaker 1: Depends on how you feel about it, though it depends
Speaker 1: like it's not always for it depends on what your
Speaker 1: expectation was of it, Like.
Speaker 2: Well, have you ever had that highly expectation with just
Speaker 2: you yourself?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, early in your career, and then you
Speaker 1: sometimes realize that stuff you love is not the stuff
Speaker 1: that is loved, so like, very seldom has my favorite
Speaker 1: song on the album been everybody's favorite song on the album.
Speaker 1: So once you go through that a couple of times,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, and then it makes it really cool
Speaker 1: because you know what that does. You still have some
Speaker 1: selfishness in your songwriting, which is important. I think, like,
Speaker 1: I know that I'm writing for a group of people.
Speaker 1: I know that I'm trying to speak on behalf of us,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to tell our story to critical mass
Speaker 1: and pop culture. But then sometimes I like that I
Speaker 1: still selfish enough to just write a song for me,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, I think it's important
Speaker 1: as a song right. I don't know if i've me
Speaker 1: be a Hurston never even talked about this.
Speaker 10: I mean you're speaking like you know what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, Like, every now and then I need to write.
Speaker 1: There are songs that I have that I've wrote that
Speaker 1: were literally for me, like I needed to exercise something
Speaker 1: in that song. And maybe I shared a little too
Speaker 1: much or maybe I set a name even but it's
Speaker 1: like I needed to get it out of me personally. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that it's like I needed you know sometimes So yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's like I'm okay with it now, will if
Speaker 1: I know that it's for me, Like I just accept
Speaker 1: like I like this song. So if it doesn't go
Speaker 1: that's cool. I get it, but I like it, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean.
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's like, yeah, there would be the first and
Speaker 10: only moment that's happened to me. It was early on
Speaker 10: was I thought I was gonna have somebody's next single.
Speaker 10: They announced it to a room of people, It's gonna
Speaker 10: be the next single. So that would have been like
Speaker 10: a big first radio single for me as a songwriter.
Speaker 10: It ended up not being that, And it was like
Speaker 10: that moment your expectations you just got to manage them
Speaker 10: and know that going in. But like with in the
Speaker 10: case of Morgan, big song, we've written a ton of
Speaker 10: big songs that aren't big songs. You know, you just
Speaker 10: can't pick and choose what's gonna pop off The only
Speaker 10: thing we can control, which we can't even help but do,
Speaker 10: is just write more songs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I will say this. I've had singles slip
Speaker 1: through that I was like, oh damn, I wish that
Speaker 1: would have been the single. That happens all the time,
Speaker 1: like whenever, similar to him, like whenever, Like you think
Speaker 1: you write a song and it's gonna be somebody single,
Speaker 1: there comes a point where you have enough singles or
Speaker 1: enough things going on that you're like, oh, damn, I
Speaker 1: hate I missed that. It's not like you're mad about it,
Speaker 1: but you're just like, damn, Like post right now, I'm
Speaker 1: praying they pick losers for his next sing Me Too,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's a that's you feel me,
Speaker 1: you know?
Speaker 10: Yeah right.
Speaker 1: But it's like there's a chance they won't. It's a
Speaker 1: label thing. We're not in charge of that, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. But it's like we're over here like, oh.
Speaker 10: It's showing that it should be losers.
Speaker 1: If y'all are saying what we're saying, dog, I mean,
Speaker 1: that thing's streaming, dog. So I got almost one hundred
Speaker 1: million on Spotify, like rolling, So it's a that's the thing,
Speaker 1: you know, like, that's like came me and Kane's record Haunted.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the next single on his album
Speaker 1: is because I'm on his album. I'm like, I'll give
Speaker 1: you one where it happened in real time. I've never
Speaker 1: told this story, but it's a cool story to tell.
Speaker 1: Me and Cody Johnson, who's one of my best friends
Speaker 1: in country music. I love Cody Johnson. That cowboy is
Speaker 1: one of the most authentic real dudes, love you kind
Speaker 1: of dudes. I mean, he is the most christ like
Speaker 1: dude I met in the business. He is awesome, and
Speaker 1: we got to do a record together on his album.
Speaker 1: That's how much I love Cody Johnson. And I thought,
Speaker 1: there's no way this isn't going to be his next
Speaker 1: single after the Painter, like as hot as he is,
Speaker 1: as hot as I am, as hot as this song is,
Speaker 1: like the meaning of it. And then his album comes
Speaker 1: out and I hear a song called dirt Cheap.
Speaker 10: And take your hat off to that one.
Speaker 1: I called him and said, well, Bubba one, congratulations on
Speaker 1: what's going to be an award winning album, which it
Speaker 1: did go on to win the see in the Album
Speaker 1: of the Year. I said, because this album is unbelievable,
Speaker 1: I said, but me and your dream of having a
Speaker 1: single together just died. He's like, why you say that.
Speaker 1: I was like, dirt Cheap might be the best song
Speaker 1: I've ever heard, you know what I mean. I was
Speaker 1: like literally, and of course it went on to be
Speaker 1: one of the biggest songs of his career, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like, you know the hug you
Speaker 1: gave him when he won too, I told you so.
Speaker 10: Yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was a motherfucker Because Cody's so humble. He's like, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna win this thing. He's backstage like mixing
Speaker 1: a cocktail or something like not a chance, and I'm like, Bubba,
Speaker 1: this is your year, Like you're fixing to take this thing.
Speaker 1: I'm telling him that during the commercial break before they
Speaker 1: call it, so as soon as they announced, I ran
Speaker 1: over to him and looked like a little kid, like
Speaker 1: he was staring hugging his wife and I'm just standing.
Speaker 10: There jumping way.
Speaker 1: As soon as he gets through huging his Wife's like me, now,
Speaker 1: hug me, Cody, Because I was so like, I tell
Speaker 1: I whishper, That's what I whispered to Jo, Like I
Speaker 1: fucking told you so motherfucker. It's like I told you,
Speaker 1: he was like, dude, whatever. Then he went up there
Speaker 1: and Rick flair Wood.
Speaker 2: That's dope, man.
Speaker 1: But that's that's that stuff happens all the time behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, you know what I mean. Like right now,
Speaker 1: I hope Kane's next single is Haunted, but it's obviously
Speaker 1: what I want. I'm on it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great song, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But he might have another song that's trending better and
Speaker 1: doing better. And that's just part of it too. And
Speaker 1: I want what's best for Kane too, like I wanted
Speaker 1: what's best for Cody, you know what I mean, And
Speaker 1: what's what was best for Cody at the time was
Speaker 1: dirt cheap.
Speaker 10: There's five hundred big songs getting written today and probably
Speaker 10: only two or three of them will pop off.
Speaker 1: Maybe.
Speaker 10: I mean, you got that, maybe two or three that
Speaker 10: are written this week and pop off.
Speaker 1: We'll be in. It will be somebody's kind of maybe
Speaker 1: career moment for them a little bit.
Speaker 4: Or we talked about this when we were in thirty
Speaker 4: a about like you picking and choosing what type of
Speaker 4: music to keep for you and then go. But when
Speaker 4: I was We're at goren to Operator, I'm reading you
Speaker 4: like eleven number ones and one for yourself, Like, how
Speaker 4: is it a level of selflessness or is a level
Speaker 4: of being like this is not my this is not
Speaker 4: how I.
Speaker 10: Want aware, not selflessness and self aware. Like for the
Speaker 10: first six or seven years of just I was in
Speaker 10: the service industry of writing songs, and that was being selfless,
Speaker 10: but also hadn't really discovered exactly what I want to
Speaker 10: say and how I want to sound. So the moments
Speaker 10: that did feel like me, I kept along the way,
Speaker 10: and my real goal was stacking a catalog of songwriting
Speaker 10: credits and saying yes to rooms and getting in there
Speaker 10: and you know, building that up as big as possible. Now,
Speaker 10: because of that success in songwriting, I have a little
Speaker 10: more freedom to focus on myself more, which is why
Speaker 10: I was locked in a studio last week. I just
Speaker 10: rented it out to write focus on me, the same
Speaker 10: way that we rent out a studio to go in
Speaker 10: for months at a time for posts. It's like, Hey,
Speaker 10: instead of that, I'm going in for a week by myself,
Speaker 10: for me, for me, by me, And it's like now
Speaker 10: having that freedom, I'm able to luck in on a sound,
Speaker 10: and I think this would be the first time I'm
Speaker 10: make an album with so much intention of time versus
Speaker 10: a collection of songs throughout a twelve month period that
Speaker 10: I'm like, Okay, I have seventeen or eighteen or thirty songs,
Speaker 10: whatever it is. Yeah, now it's like, Okay, this is
Speaker 10: the allotted time I'm going to give myself to go
Speaker 10: in and make an album.
Speaker 1: I was. I was saying this about Eric Church the
Speaker 1: other day whenever I got to do the conversation with him.
Speaker 1: Was early in Air's career, before he dropped Centers Like Me.
Speaker 1: He had a song called Guys Like Me and he
Speaker 1: just got a big cut on a Brandy record, I
Speaker 1: think like his first number one on radio or something
Speaker 1: with a Brandy record, and he was at that pivotal
Speaker 1: point of his career where you know, he had to
Speaker 1: figure out what Eric Church was singing as opposed to
Speaker 1: what he was going to give to other people. And
Speaker 1: the cool thing was when I asked him that, I
Speaker 1: thought he was going to be like, oh, what you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I knew what was for me and I knew what
Speaker 1: was for them. He was like, no, I kind of
Speaker 1: got put into the artist thing because people wouldn't cut
Speaker 1: songs that sounded so uniquely me that, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, That they just couldn't cut him anyway, so
Speaker 1: they sounded so uniquely him. What I think makes Ernest
Speaker 1: one of the greatest songwriters of our generation and artist
Speaker 1: is that he knows the difference between what he should
Speaker 1: be the vessel for and what he shouldn't be the
Speaker 1: vessel for, you know what I mean, and is willing
Speaker 1: as an artist to pass up hits because he don't
Speaker 1: feel like he's the right vessel for him. That's what
Speaker 1: makes Ernest special to me is to be sitting on
Speaker 1: a grenade. It's a grenade, but knowing it's not the
Speaker 1: grenade you're supposed to throw. That is such a hard
Speaker 1: decision to make in life, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But that also comes with knowing who you are as
Speaker 1: an artist, you know what I mean. That's why you
Speaker 1: can't pitch Jelly Roll the song one. It's not It's
Speaker 1: not because I'm that egotistical as a songwriter, which I
Speaker 1: am a little bit because I write songs, But it's
Speaker 1: that you don't I know who I am as an artist.
Speaker 1: You can't manufacture that in a room without me, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. That's hard, Like I'm that specifically me.
Speaker 1: I'm that particular about what I'm willing to sing me personally,
Speaker 1: And I've had to pass hits. I've had hits in
Speaker 1: a room that I wrote on, or hits that I
Speaker 1: wasn't in a room but my boy was in the room.
Speaker 1: Was like, Yo, you need to hear this song that
Speaker 1: went on to be a hit for somebody else that
Speaker 1: I had to be like, Man, I love it, Bubba,
Speaker 1: but I'm not the vessel for that song, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like it's crazy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And then other songs come along that you're like, you
Speaker 1: talk your way into getting on because you know you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be a part of the vessel. That's the juxaposition, right,
Speaker 1: Like when I hear hard Fought Halloluju, I'm like, Yo,
Speaker 1: I need to be on this song, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like this song has got so much meat
Speaker 1: in it. I relate to it in such a compassionate
Speaker 1: and deep way that I want to be a part
Speaker 1: of the record. So yeah, Losers another one for sure
Speaker 1: where I didn't write Losers at all.
Speaker 10: But while you're in that room, it was like, the
Speaker 10: only person that could top on this.
Speaker 1: With us is for sure, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So it's not an ego thing. It's just to know
Speaker 1: who you are as an artist thing. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what makes Ernest special. Then what makes Ernest special
Speaker 1: outside of that is being in a room writing on
Speaker 1: a post Malone album and going, hey man, we can't
Speaker 1: cut this without jelly roll. There. I can't not hear
Speaker 1: jelly roll on this song. I've been hearing it. I
Speaker 1: heard his voice in my head. This is a jelly
Speaker 1: roll kind of song. Like that's awesome, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. That's also the test of his ear and
Speaker 1: the test of my artistry of like when you can
Speaker 1: stand as an artist for so long as what you
Speaker 1: do specifically that sometimes people can't get around working on
Speaker 1: that with you. That's I don't know if anybody liked
Speaker 1: this part of the podcast, because this is real how
Speaker 1: the sausages make.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fit's dope because especially, I mean just listening
Speaker 4: from my vantage point, I enjoy listening to music, but
Speaker 4: to hear things like that you're saying about being the vessel,
Speaker 4: not being the vessel when you think, well, why was
Speaker 4: you just cut all the ones that you know are
Speaker 4: going to be hits? But then it seems like you
Speaker 4: lose the identity of who you really are. And you're
Speaker 4: talking about locking yourself in a room being like I
Speaker 4: found my sound, and I'm thinking to myself, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: What does that even mean?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, because I'm so like green whatever the
Speaker 4: pool term it is. But I don't even fucking it's
Speaker 4: It's hard for me to even compute because it's not
Speaker 4: the world I've lived in at all.
Speaker 10: You've got a keychain full of keys, You're standing at
Speaker 10: a door and finally one works.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so how do you Okay?
Speaker 1: So if not, what are the keys?
Speaker 4: Is it like you want a guitar? Is you want
Speaker 4: a piano? Is you just humming in your head?
Speaker 1: Uh? No?
Speaker 10: The keys would be different directions to go with music. Like,
Speaker 10: obviously I've played you every type of music I've ever made.
Speaker 10: The one that I present the most to the world
Speaker 10: and the one that I want to stand on and
Speaker 10: be forty and fifty years old if I have to
Speaker 10: go sing at the opry is country music?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: But you but you're talking about the album.
Speaker 10: You're right, but so that the sound being I've I've
Speaker 10: found that sound in the last two hours.
Speaker 4: Old traditional yeah, no, yeah, it's it's awesome.
Speaker 10: So that that would be in flower shops was that
Speaker 10: moment for me. I was like, Okay, I love this.
Speaker 10: This is a key on my key chain. If this
Speaker 10: is what's going to open the door I got.
Speaker 1: I got that, save me what was mine. But the
Speaker 1: flip side of that is a lot of artists don't
Speaker 1: know who they are. I guess that's why I'm talking
Speaker 1: about this, is that there's so many artists that have
Speaker 1: five hits or three hits, and you look and they
Speaker 1: all sound completely different. They have no it's just he's
Speaker 1: just searching for a hit because he don't know who
Speaker 1: he is, you know what I mean. It's kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, like if you don't Actually, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: preaching the kids on American Idol. At some point in
Speaker 1: this process. I want you to find out that this
Speaker 1: is what who you are as an artist. That's why
Speaker 1: I want you to tell your story, because I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna come from who you are as a human
Speaker 1: more often than not, you know what I mean. But
Speaker 1: and there's the other kind there are the ones that
Speaker 1: lab shop that who they are as a human who
Speaker 1: they are as artist are two different people, and it's theater.
Speaker 1: That's cool too, you know what I mean if you
Speaker 1: figure that out. But a lot of artists don't know
Speaker 1: who they are, so they'll have a couple of hits.
Speaker 1: I'll name them off camera and you'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. I did hear that song, But I
Speaker 1: wonder why I never heard from that dude again, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's like because he had no
Speaker 1: true identity, where guys like Luke Morgan, like we know
Speaker 1: what a Luke song sounds like. When you hear a
Speaker 1: Luke com song, you know it's a Luke Coom song
Speaker 1: before Luke Comb starts singing. When you hear a Morgan song,
Speaker 1: you know it's a Morgan song before Morgan starts singing.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like, this is just what
Speaker 1: we know.
Speaker 4: I feel that I do love the Time capsule Ast
Speaker 4: country music. You'll be that stuff is top notch, so
Speaker 4: you're going back in time.
Speaker 1: It's getting popular now, but I love that he did
Speaker 1: it before it's popular. I love that Ernest was just like, yo, man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like he was in the middle of writing
Speaker 1: the biggest album in the world and was like, but
Speaker 1: on the side of this, I'm gonna make some real
Speaker 1: honky Tom Roberts Western world music. It's like it, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put that out as me for fucking fun, which
