Welcome to Busting with the Boys, Episode three seventy seven sevens.
As always, we are presented by the number one sportsbook
in America, the FanDuel of Sportsbook. Ladies and gentlemen. We
are inching closer and closer to the twenty twenty six
NFL Draft, and you already know we're gonna get into it.
But if you think you know how the Knight's gonna

(01:06):
play out, you've seen the cards, you've had the visions,
you've peered into the crystal ball, and you know that
your big board is the big board. Fandel is here
to help you cash in. Fandel's got a ton Fandal's
got tons of markets cooked up just for the NFL Draft.
From the first wide receiver taken, feel free to add

(01:28):
your pick to the number two overall pick. Feel free
to add your pick and everything in between. Plus you
can parlay those picks together for even bigger payouts, and
once the first round is complete, maybe you feel juiced
up about your squad because you got the steal of
the draft. Take a look at some futures markets and
see how you feel about your win total. No matter
how you play it, Fandel is the place to be

(01:50):
when your team is on the clock. Just head to
fandel dot com slash Busting to get started. We're here
Boys Draft week. If you're new here, hey, we got
Mario crystal Ball on the podcast. If you're Miami Hurricane
tuning into the Boys, welcome to Bust with the Boys.
Just a couple of old ballplayers, well washed up guys,
never dream alive, that never stopped being teammates. That's it.

(02:11):
And in the draft this week, we got undrafted, we
got drafted, We got the combination of everything to where
this is locker room talk. The locker room never closed
on this show. We keep the locker room open. On
Busting with the Boys. We're going to dive into some
draft stuff, maybe some draft stories. We're gonna talk about
Mario crystaball and what we got, what we did this
past week last week at the University of Miami. What

(02:32):
else are we going to be touching.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
We're hitting callbacks from the boys in the last episode
that took place with Marcus Freeman and CJ. Carr, and
also hit a little tear Talk because every single week
the boys put out a little tweet, little tweets. He said, Hey,
use hashag tear Talk with the question below to get
featured on the show. So, if you're a Miami fan
looking for a community, honest saying, oh damn, the locker
room still alive, I can be in.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
It, I can hang with the boy.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
You can leave a comment here to be featured on
the callbacks or when the Tear Talk comes out, you
can just leave a little comment and just like that. Boys,
there's no entry feet all right, there's no there's no
dress code here. It's just community, locker room vibes and love.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Sure you have a question quick addition to what you
are talking about. New iteration that I've been seeing on
tear Talk. People are now commenting on previous episodes.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
With the hashtags. Are you kidding me? Right now? That's
the way to do it, because we're scanning them all.
It's evolving. And don't sleep on Spotify. Spotify's got a
comment section. Spotify's got a comment and we go to
those every week. The boys are locked in on some
Spotify comments. But great work getting the hashtag tear talk
in our Bust with the Boys episodes. Also, Miami fans,

(03:38):
we did the same thing. We're building community, like Taylor
was saying, now in the community, if you enter the community,
just know that last week we had Notre Dame week.
So now we got Catholics. Now we got.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Convicts all together, all together being for the boys. Right,
But if you don't like being called convict, that's listen,
that wasn't us.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's all good fun. It's all good fun.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Yeah, you' only hear in convicts like it's just part
of the fun.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
We like to have fun on busts because we know
what week seven, Week nine, eight eight, I'm hoping, We're hoping. Yeah,
two undefeated teams hope basing off South Bend, Indiana. It
has to take place south and and you know what,
God gotta let us happen. We'll we'll be there. I
didn't say that correctly, looking talking about God, I were

(04:19):
gonna be there because it's another name, Okay, but well
we'll be there.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
And the Shane episode, that one was dropping next week. Right,
I'm laughing because when he was busting our balls, like
He's like, you guys got a backlog as me as
you can before.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
We just starting, Buddy, the CT thing, I like to
fight it. I like to get away from it the
minute I lose a little bit of sleep. That's why
I really see and started to keep peeking over it.
St to get over a little bit.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Got teams undefeated, you're gonna go get us. Coaches du
two teams, teams eleven, they're gonna go. We're gonna play hopefully,
were there as well, wearing helmets, shoulder pads.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Let's just keep going, all right, two different uniforms, all right, dude,
Should we talk about the I mean, fando futures. The
draft is this week. We will be in Pittsburgh this
week for the draft for flying out Wednesday evening for
all of this to go down. I know we saw
a little about first wide receiver taking. Do you want
to count to three and see who we think is
going to.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Be number one receiver taken? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (05:26):
The options okay, okay, okay, So I'm thinking to your
best Yeah, Tate's gonna be your best option. He's gonna
be in the minuses old boy from A and m
old boy from A and m uh no no, probably not. Yeah,
but he wrote the letter. He's not going to be
the best. He's gonna be the best. Draft Jordan Tyson
from A s U. He's a monster.

Speaker 7 (05:48):
He's going to media darling this week too.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
He's been getting lots of love.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
That's where people start to creep this. This week is
the best week because this is when all the House
of Cards type of game strategy people are gonna start lying.
Maybe they're not gonna take Bana Mendoz even tho they
said they're gonn take Fana me dozs. The type of
shit's gonna come out.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Oh, they're taking for Nanda.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
They're fora Doza, no doubt. But this is where everyone
starts to well are they though? Is the question mark
just where.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Ty Simpson has been coming up in a lot of conversations.
Are they going to make some sudden surprise at the end.
But Fandel's telling us there's an over under on ty Simpson.
Whether he's gonna go before the twenty eighth pick or
twenty eight and a half is where the line is at,
So twenty eight and earlier or twenty nine and after,
and the over that beyond twenty eight is at minus
one fifty, so there should be no surprises. There's gonna

(06:34):
be no surprise, gonna be this him going over for
Nana Mendoza.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
When I think about draft predictions, I think about one
man and the genius that came out of him, and
it is Delaney Walker, and you're bet with him. Last year,
Shadur Sanders said he wouldn't make it to the top
three rounds. I sat there while you were making the bet, thinking,
Will's got this thing locked locked, locked.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
I don't have my phone. I don't have my phone.
Actually we know, but Delaney is a cube, he whispered.
He kind of is dude. He called mac Jones, he
called Sanders. He was like, on the money, what do
you say, fifth round? Yeah, that's what I say.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
That was.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
That was a one off Mac Jones conversation.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah, that's my dog.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
He's gonna crush it this year. He's gonna get opportunity.
He's gonna kill it. It's like, all right, yes, you're
got a big brock perty fan. All of a sudden,
bang he takes place in therese conversations people trying to
rubble some feathers down to the forty nine ers of facility.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Boy, what up? First ring, Mitch, Mitch Caldy said, you're
gonna answer on the first ring, Delaney. We're sitting here
and busting with the boys, and we're trying to figure
out where you think Ty Simpson is gonna go or
how soon he's going to get drafted. Right now, the
line on fan duel the over under is twenty eight
and a half pick twenty eight and a half. So

(07:51):
is he gonna go Alabama quarterback? Alabama quarterback? People are
saying maybe the Raiders get him over Mendoza. Not a
lot of people, but there's a few out there. Mm hmm.
Dan Orlowski says Ty Simpson is the better player, the
better option, or the better quarterback. I could just be
putting words in his mouth right there.

Speaker 8 (08:08):
Yeah, I mean, god, that's that's gonna be tough for
me to say.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I don't know if he's gonna go over Mendoza.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
You got Ty Simpson going in the first round or
the second round? That's a better question.

Speaker 8 (08:21):
I got him going in the second round.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Okay, Okay, you guys heard it from why you know
you don't know he just got a feeling. Yeah, he does.
He woke up.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
He's Dylan.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Are you laying bed right now?

Speaker 8 (08:35):
This off of what happened, I mean, he started late.
He was a beast though. Don't get me wrong, he
was a beast. I just don't think I think he
gonna go in the second round. That's good though. That's
a good that's a good that's a good round.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
To go in for him.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yes, that is second rounds a good round. It's a
good round.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Better than the third, yeah, way better than the fourth.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (08:53):
I'm just saying. You know, I ain't saying. I didn't
say he was gonna drop. You know, I give you
if he was gonna drop, be good.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
All right, So there you go, FanDuel minus one fifty
take the over on twenty and a half on picks
one fifty. All right, Delaney, we miss you, we love you,
we appreciate you. You are the best. Your Supercross blog was unbelievable.
I'll see you boys, all right.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
That's d right there. That was walk right the first ring.

Speaker 7 (09:20):
He's gonna answer his phone whenever I called him for Supercross.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
It's like, hey, what up?

Speaker 3 (09:25):
What are you doing?

Speaker 4 (09:26):
He's just ready dude, Delaney is that type of friend.
He's ready to answer the call. He's the who's car
we taken guy? Yeah, at all times, at all times,
he's the best kind of friend you could possibly Yeah,
you gotta have that guy in the chamber. That being said,
I think he's wrong. I think Ty Simpson goes in
the first round. And we did talk about it before
we started about the Cardinals. They have the third overall pick,
but they also have the thirty fourth pick. Love the idea.

(09:48):
I don't know who brought up. This is not my
original thought, but the idea of the Cardinals jumping in
to the first round, Yeah, to snipe him, similar to
Jackson Dart last year. Jackson Dart last year. And I
believe this was Lamar Jackson as well.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Correct, get that fifth year option if you get the
first round pick, right at the fifth option, right. Yeah,
But but the Ravens didn't. The Ravens traded into the
second round or the first round. Again with the Chiefs,
it's hard for me to believe that, not that only
one quarterback is going to go in the first round.
Knowing how teams operate, Yeah, whether they trade up, they
take guys to early like people argue about JJ McCarthy
the Vikings a couple of years ago. But every year

(10:24):
I feel like there's a surprise in the first round
of a quarterback being taken higher than what they're projected
to go. It's just such a premium supplying demand. And
no one Danny O dan Orlowski talks about Ty Simpson.
It seems like this kid's a dude.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, there's a lot of things about Danielle right now
that I respect a lot about Danielle. These things I'm
not respecting about Danielle, like bets, like bets not being tough.
Tough look for Danielle. A lot of people having a
tough fluck with Bets right now. It's not my only bet.
We'll get into that. We'll get into.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
That helps us kick off callbacks from last week's episode. Again,
last week we had on Marcus Freeman and CJ. Carr
aw some Notre Dame vlog that's out there right now.
Check that out. The Miami volog of us going in
the Miami Hurricanes facility that dropped last night on our
YouTube channel. But this kicks off the betting for some
callbacks here. We got one here from Mike Hawk Underscore

(11:11):
sixty nine sixty nine. This is on the YouTube channel
Mike halk hell, I see what happened. Guys are having fun.
What's crazy is I didn't even know what you guys
were laughing about in the pre production meeting.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Really Yeah, seven forty seven over the head, which.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Terms like it's not a burner of minds, just the
guy having fun on the internet, like Mike Hawk Like
sounds like it's the sixty nine. Like, are we in
middle school? We're in high school? Go ahead, all right,
let's see here we go. Mike Cock. Uh, can we
get an update on Taylor's bet with Kyle from note?
Did Bro flake on the puck bet? Did Bro flake

(11:48):
on the puck bet? I just say one thing about Kyle.
I like Kyle.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
I think I was a good guy, seems like a
good business man, seems like a dude that really has
kind of figured out the lead, the leash, the niche,
the lane of YouTube and production and doing all the things.
That being said, I think he flaked on the bet.
I think he flaked on the bet.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Have you had any comms with him? Yeah? Since the videos,
since the hockey game, since USA took down Canada.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
How many Let's look up how many days it's been
since the the Olympic gold medalist men's hockey game took place.
I texted Kyle in March and I say, hey, buddy,
things are kind of settle.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Now.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
Let's get you on. Let's get you on the list.
Come on, busting with the boys. That's part of your bet.
He has two things. One he has to go to Washington,
d c our Nation's capital with a USA Hockey uniform
on with a sign this is Matt's words. Great job
by Matt. I don't know, puck. USA Hockey is the best.
That was one of the deliverables he had from Bust
with the Boys number one and Busting the Boys is
number one. Correct, it's been fifty seven days right now

(12:48):
since February twenty second, which is when the gold took off?
He had is it ninety days? Ninety days? So we
could we could be getting over our skis a little
bit right now, right sixty three days away, thirty three
days away. Excuse me. He's got a month, He's got
a month and just a sprinkle of change to get
it done. I text him in March. I'm like, hey,
we gotta get you on the books. Let's get it going.
When's a good time for you? He said, April is

(13:10):
gonna be great for me. That's when there's a good time.
It's like cool, I'll hit you in April. April comes,
send a little text, Hey do you want how do
you want this to work? Do you want me to
put you in touch with my people aka Jimmy Clump
and then you can put him you know, all the
things get in there. No response, and since then it's
been it's been bone dry. And I know there's been
a lot of back and forth with other guys in

(13:32):
his world and all that. There's like some some fighting.
I don't care to get into that world. I don't
care to get in the span.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Oh you have is your ward at the end?

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Oh you have who you are as a man?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Right?

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah, it's your word, that's number one. If you don't
have that, what do you have? And he told you
April would be the best, best month? Awesome, I'll follow
up in April. You follow it up in April. Didn't respond.
It's been crickets ever since, crickets ever since.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
No.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
I don't know how to digest that. Maybe you guys
could help me, right, go aheads firm, you got something.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Full parlay you could throw his way. Hey, our independence
day is July fourth, that fits in those thirty three
days that you have remaining. Let's just do it on
Independence day. Give him a data out there.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
It doesn't that does not fit, That is not fit
in the thirty three days. That's two months away, So
that's sixty days away.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
So that prank that I just pulled on you guys, Yeah,
everybody passed. Oh nice, especially he's a mathematician.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Yeah, mathe image has always been a small way pulling
the joke here. Yeah, and I was I love that.
So about digesting, about digesting? How do we what do
we think about this? This is more than is a
community conversation right here. Doesn't have to be just me
and Will. I just gave you guys the facts of
what's taking place. I like to know where your guys
heads are at.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
What if he doesn't I mean there was literally.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
A contract sent over per his legal team saying if
the contract is not fulfilled, then it's a lifetime of
ridicule from the other individual. So we might be a
little ahead of it, but maybe it's a little kick
in the ass. We need so, I mean, Matt, you
you were a part of this whole entire process. There's
a microphone right there.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
I made the contract and I was talking to his
team and they were in on it and no words
my email you.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
So I think we need to call him out on
the internet. I think this is what a place we're
on right now. That's exactly what we're doing. Well, maybe
you get physical. Who are you, bro? If you don't
hold up? Yeah, the standard is a standard. Yeah, just
go and pit him down.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Next time I see him. I pulled him around.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
You can come on or what. Give him a call?
I know on my phone. That's why you order the coffees.
If I have to come back, you want me to
go get my phone real quick? Yeah, yeah PHONEQUI.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
Yeah, I really hold it down.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Taylor just gives him a little visit, you know. Maybe
they're in Vegas and he sees them. Hey, if I
have to come back here and you don't fulfill this
bet or you saying I'm not a man If I don't,
if you're not a man of your word, what the
fucks you say about me? And if I have to
come back here a second time, these hands are gonna
go around your neck and we're gonna watch your soul

get in a situation where we're gonna have to get

Speaker 1 (23:21):
You're going to be beat.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Kyle's beg Kyle's as now.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Fuck, dude, I knew Steve was righting about something.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Man, did you see the Joe joking joking the podcast,
Fun on the show. It's the locker room. It's closed, right,
did you guys see the viral stuff going around? Zach
ryat branch getting arrested at what was there a bike
There was a bike festival going on in Georgia. He
was back for the spring game, gets arrested. It's what
twelve twenty twenty minutes past midnight, gets arrested for something

(23:53):
so stupid, so dumb. Did you see how you caught up? Yeah,
I'm caught up on the police officer circle. You do
my favorite move? He like he has a little bit
of an attitude. Smirks. No, no, no move he smirked, took
a step back, moved and the cops like that. Okay,
eventually just get right. Yeah, we're having fun the show.
We're having foot on the show. Yeah, we're having fund
the show.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Stupid stupid by the cop. Yes, let's take let's get
the cop first.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Assuming what is out there is that it's known that
it was that small, this little it was all about, Hey,
can you get out of the way. Everybody's packed on
these sidewalks, so you can imagine that there's just chaos
going on at all times. Sure, can you step over here.
Very small thing to get upset and arrest somebody over Yeah,
because the botle was like thirty nine dollars, Like what
do we do? Are you just wanting to splash the
badge and show that right here? Yeah, because we don't

(24:40):
want that. You don't want that place. Okay, that being said,
that's dumb. Now to go Zachary Branch equally dumb. But
you're a week away from your dreams coming true of
being an NFL football player. People talking about you being
a Day two pick. Maybe you might seek into the
one who knows what's gonna happen. We all know that
we saw you at the SEC Championship. You're an absolute
dog during that game. Give us some flexing for the
can gave them shorter individuals with this family too, like

(25:03):
with this brother playing with this brother coming from USC
set a.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Record at Georgia for most receptions in one year. Like
the guy is an absolute study. He's gonna have himself
a hell of a career. But if you're sitting there
and a cop wants a bodybag you a little bit
with his ego, let him have the ego, right, Ryan Holiday,
ego is the enemy, Go and stand off to the
side bell, Yeah, you got it hurt my bad? Is
he in the wrong the cop of the wrong, no question.
But also we'll be doing dumb shit for and you.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Just know, bro, like you get told this stuff all
the time, like when we were players in college, even
in the NFL, Like at all times when they're talking
about going out, being say, being responsible, all that stuff,
it's like they're always just telling you like cops are
just looking for a reason, like, hey, you got a name.
They know, they know who zach RYA. Branch is, right, Like,
you know, hey, cops, right, I think I can make
a name for myself right here. Again, assuming that what's

(25:45):
out there on the report is exactly what happened. Told
him the step back. He gave me a smirk. Basically,
I got upset. I gave him a lawful order. He
didn't follow the law, so in those legalities I can
arrest him.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
This is pulling somebody over going five miles over the
speed limit.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
But you know you have more of a target on
you because people were pissed Georgia fan or like Zachari
Branch for fans, people that are defending zach Ry Branch.
I get because the arrest is stupid. It shouldn't even happen.
The cops should not be going that far. Again, thirty
nine dollars bond on bailout getting out. But just I

(26:19):
agree that shit is dumb. But on Zachariah Branch's side,
if I'm sitting here thinking about everything, Taylor is saying, like, bro,
what are you doing out that late? I get that
you are in town and you want to be at
the spring game and you want to probably enjoy. It's like, yeah,
you're this close to the draft, your name is hot,
you're out there with the boys. You guys are having

(26:41):
fun whatever you're doing. I don't care about that. But
you just have to know as a player, brod, you've
got to be overly protective about what's going on because
you've worked your entire life to become an NFL prospect
to be draft eligible. Now you're in a spot, bro,
you've bawled this entire year. You transferred, played with your brother,
you bald. You're in a spot to where you're projected

(27:03):
second round. Your projection's probably not going to get hurt.
Enough gms and people that are diving into this before
the draft. It's a it's a nothing burger. I'm assuming
it's enoughing.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Further, but if something else happens, it's like we should
have seen it come out.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
But is that being out even worth questions being raised?
Like even if they get to the bottom of it
and nothing hurts, Like, bro, say you were going to
be drafted. Say you get drafted fifty fifth overall, but
a team sitting at fifty one was going to pick
you and somebody just didn't get enough context or they
just made a decision of like why is he out
this late? This goes into our character for whatever it

(27:35):
is to where you could have been fifty one and
now you're at fifty five, Like that's thousands of dollars,
Like none of that is even worth risking. Like your
boys that know, hey, you know I'm gonna get in
early tonight, YadA, YadA, we got the draft coming up
next weekend, Like we'll get it back. On the other side,
boys like I need to be it basically needs to
be low profile, high focus at this moment in time
because the last four months has been nothing but an
interview for this draft process and the ultimate goal of

(27:57):
the ultimate dream is happening big at a moment of
your life is happening this week at the NFL Draft,
why put any of it in jeopardy over Like, I'm
just relaxed. I'm just gonna enjoy myself for a little bit.
I saw that he wasn't drinking, like he was doing
all the things right, right, he just happened to piss
a cop off because he just stepped back and went
to the right a little bit. But even then, Bro,
you know the saying nothing good happens after midnight? Like,

(28:19):
why even be in that situation? Exactly? Not in a
way that where I'm like I'm anti zach Rya Branch.
I'm like no, i feel like, whether people believe it
or not, I'm thinking I'm pro the player. Like if
I'm sitting there in a room with you and I'm
one of your boys, It's like, why even go out tonight? Bro?
You're about to get You're about to be a top fifteen,
top twenty pick next week, bro, and you're like, hey,
will should we go out? Blah blah blah blah blah.

(28:41):
If you're even saying that, but we're sitting there having
a conversation, like, Bro, why even risk that?

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Right?

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Because nothing, nothing good can happen like in the stage
is set right, spring game takes place, you're back at
school after training, you do the combine. Every guy feels
this way when they're in the draft process, like I'm
I'm the man, I'm like I've done it, Like I'm
kind of like, let me go out and kind of
show myself up maybe a couple hundred.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Let me get an post.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah, you know what, we're going to post up a
little bit. But you got to that's where you have
to one protect your own legacy and understand that everybody
around you is not there to protect you as well.
Guys also want to show you. If I'm with Zachariah Branch,
look at we're boys, He's going to be a draft pick,
probably a Pro Bowl player at some point. Like all
the things. They don't have that opportunity. You have that opportunity.
So when your boys are like let's go do X,

(29:22):
Y and Z. If there's even a little bit of
a risk, just walk away from it. And it does
it makes you seem uncool in the moment, but long
term it play it pays off dividends because the NFL,
like we both know now that were washed up football
players eventually your ask gets kicked out one way or another,
one way or another. So these guys that you're around,
I'm sure most of them are great, but just you

(29:43):
got to really figure out who's who and who really
has your best interest involved. And at the end of
the day, it's like you have to make the best
decision for yourself. Yeah, because I mean, I have a
bunch of examples of things I could have done better
when I was playing, And if I could go back
and back, man, I would have, you know, not gone
out and gone crazy my first couple of years in
the league and all those things. But now that you're
sitting there and you're thirty four years old, two kids,
Like it's so clear, Like, dude, just take care of

(30:04):
your house first. Yeah, yeah, put your oxygen mask on
first before helping anybody else.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Because all you have two is your reputation. Like say again,
he does nothing wrong. All of it comes out. This
is like he pissed the cop off. Cops thinking, oh
that's zach Ryiat branch. Hey, listen, you're not the one
with the power in this situation. I need you to
get your ass back. He gives a smirk. He gets mad,
He gets arrested. Well, let's just say you did absolutely
nothing wrong. But the fact that there's questions that come
out that the headline is Zachariat Branch gets arrested. That

(30:29):
happens first, and more context comes out. But even if
you're on the straight and narrow, all it takes is
for one other slip up for people to say, oh,
he was like that guy that got arrested back in Georgia.
Then they've lost all contexts. Guys, oh he got arrested,
or he got into a dust up. A second thought,
maybe he was. Maybe there was things going on with
that cop back in Georgia that we don't know about. Right,

(30:50):
Because again, when you're building up your reputation, what is
the quote with Warren Buffet, takes twenty years to build
a reputation of five seconds to ruin it. You just reset.
You just reset back to that founder of people that
know nothing about this other than seeing Zachariat Branch gets arrested.
They don't dive into the report, they don't dive into
the context, they don't dive into anything to know that
you aren't an issue whatsoever the next time something could

(31:12):
come about, because again you don't know how everything works.
You can't control what people do with you. You have
another bad situation that comes up, people that don't know,
they're just going to relate it back to the first one.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
They're gonna fall back on the domino effect to be
like this happened, that happened. Bad guy, Yeah, bad character.
Hey listen, Georgia. I don't know what the years was,
how many years it's been, but so many years have
gone by. There's been thirty arrest and thirty one draft picks.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
And to that point too, when we talk about reputation again,
you did again, Zachari Branch, nothing wrong. You're tied to
that reputation of Georgia. So if there's been thirty one arrests,
you know, their last thirty draft picks, whatever that stat was, Like,
immediately people are going to think, oh, Georgia, yep, of
course it's a Georgia kid. Of course he's going to
get arrested without wanting to understand anything. So it's like, dude,

(31:59):
protect your bag. You were so goddamn close, bro.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
So talented too.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
He's going to be a beast in the slot in
the NFL. And again, this is going to ultimately be
a nothing burger. He'll still get drafted. People are going
to oh Dune, you get a risk, like all that
stuff is going to happen all because it's like for what.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Man, why even allow? Why even allow some sort of
narrative to take us about you?

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Because you want to go hang in a bike festival
or you want to go hang with the fellas like dog,
just fuck the phone profile high focus.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Yeah, I love it, Zach, Right, branch handled you brought
back up the draft? Do we want to talk about
FanDuel at all?

Speaker 3 (32:33):
We can receive? We gotta go. We gotta a couple
more little callbacks, right, that's that you mean to hit?
Crazy Man sixty four three three five, Crazy Man, thank
you for commenting on our the episode.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Crazy Man six four three three five. Anyone else helping
anyone else having moneyline Matthew's withdrawals.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
I am dude. I think about Clay multiple times a week.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
Yeah, absolutely, somebody you just want to pick up the
phone and call yeah, see what the boys up to?

Speaker 3 (32:58):
For whatever reason, I just don't do it, and I
get mad the next time I think about it. I'm like, man,
I said I was gonna call them up.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Yeah, And now what's the two weeks they've taken place.
What we need is just a selfie video of Moneyline
Matthews the next UFC event. This is my parlay because
the people are we're on life support. We need some
something of Moneyline Matthews coming out.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Should we call him.

Speaker 9 (33:19):
Just go?

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Should we call him Hurricane Fans? We have a show
called the Locker Room that we do yeah, yeah, yeah
during football season where Clay Matthews, Delaney Walker, we all
do a show together talk about all of our all
of our bets for the upcoming weekend in the NFL.
Moneyline Matthews is a thing. So again, just for all
the new listeners out there, all the new audience members, and.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
If you want to know peak Moneyline Matthews, go to
like week six to ten. Don't go past ten.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
They don't.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
We don't even worry about what happens after past ten.
Six to ten is where you want Moneyline Matthews. Because
the kid was on a absolute heat of an aura
about him.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
He did Delaney does. Somebody commented and said, we need
a Clay Can.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
Series, a Clay Can series. I'll love some Clay brother
who doesn't love He's doing for the draft this week,
Like he's probably gonna.

Speaker 10 (34:04):
Clay Matthews did text me recently. He just sent me
a screenshot of him reaching out to a Facebook marketplace
someone selling a casket. He just said, how heavy is
this casket? And can you give me the rough dimensions?
He had to add the note using this for a
prop as.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Well, already thinking about the locker room pronection.

Speaker 10 (34:21):
So this was during last year. He was going through
his old things. He found it. He tried to order
a casket during the.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
He's a sick, oh bro, He's a sick the world,
the world needs it. We got one from Steve Pilgrim
nine to six six two.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Though WILLI willly Willy.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
Had to have been comical, I wasn't there. It seemed
like when I watched it back on the Notre Dame blog.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Getting carried by the by yeah, like I would have
loved more buy in, would have loved more buy and
I get we're trying to have our rudy moment. I
was fully bought into having a rudy moment. The old linemen,
they were kind of like, shit, will carry you, Willie,
because we caught the punts and by the way, defense
carrying you. They're just carrying you at their chest. But
I wanted some buy. You want to just won the

(35:02):
game and then switch from Rudy to Willie. It's just
me by myself saying that I'm trying to pat the boys.
Get the Willie chant going with me. It didn't help.
Didn't help you pull out of guy's l five s
one that it was a tough look that was on me.
I say, I was so excited that's been jumping and
I know better. And the guy was he was all
below back to pick you up. Yeah, he was all

(35:23):
if that would happened to me, Number one, I'd be dead.
I'd be in the hospital right now, paraly from the
way your last bread you probably swing on them. Yeah,
I been like, are you fucking kidding? And then yeah, yeah,
but yes, it was a fun time. Go check out
the Notre Dame vogging again in the Miami vlog day drift
last night.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Miami and Miami fans, if you want to get watch
a little film on your team and you're playing against
week eight, week nine, somewhere in there something like that,
something November November. That's you're gonna want to see that
You're don't want to take a peak ski at.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
That boy right there.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
We got Mike Hawk, Uh, we got Josh Lawless nineteen
ninety one, Shoe one the euro was born. Freeman has
brought to and swagger Notre Dame has needed for decades.
I hope he sticks around and wins that Natty. A
statue will be built and he will be a living
and d legend.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
I hope he states a Notre Dame forever.

Speaker 4 (36:10):
Yeah, I mean, where's he gonna go to the NFL?

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Could go to the NFL. And there's another one too,
like he was a buck guy. Ohio State doesn't need
a coach right now, but if in any version down
the road, Ohio State gets in a sticky situation, a
Ryan Day moves on, you get this slot at Ohio
State now becomes available. In my brain, don't know this whatsoever.
I'm just assuming. I'm thinking Marcus Freeman's one going to

(36:36):
think about it.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
He's gonna want to go there for sure, And it's
like that's allegedly that's our own impressions. But you staw
want to ask him about tattoo situation. Very quick to
defend his boys, very quick to defend the Ohio State University.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
He bartered a couple things.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
No, he was he listen all good time has passed
that you limitations is over.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
You keep that hairline like that? Yeah, twice a week crazy,
He bartered a couple of things. Yeah, state, Yeah, especially
with those rent check shoot, I getting two haircuts away.
I wanted to go back to start building the neck up,
get the thicker neck going, and shave the head again.
Bald Freeman is the freeman that I want.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
My Bald Freeman is a scary looking individual. This freeman handsome,
he's doing the photo shoots. The whole thing looks younger now,
looks younger than he did in his high school profile
pick on rivals. Yeah, but yeah, you want to maybe
maybe we did that tough guy back.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
We did that.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
He's pretty right now. Yeah yeah, yeah. Miami fans loved that.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Hey, listen Miami fans again. You check out that vlog
that drove last night. The intensity that goes on in
this practice, this killer be killed mentality, this culture that
they had still in Miami. It was a feeling of
you're back in the nineties, getting a behind the scenes
look at practice because there wasn't cameras, there wasn't social media.
There wasn't all these things. There was no nil world.

(37:52):
It was just how when the hell are we going
to be the Apex predator? And that is how these
guys work when they have all the pads.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
Yeah, the psychological warfare, it takes place the minute they
stepped in the field. I'll just speak for the off side.
They're doing drills, so they're they're warm before they even
go to the warm up. Once the warm takes place,
you got one hundred people that aren't even practicing and
loud music taking place. Yeah, irv out there just on
the microphone going crazy on the boys. It seems like

(38:20):
you're being forging fire at every single moment.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
Where they were sprinting from drill to drill, tak but
an hour and a half practice to our practice. Yeah,
and they did not rest one time. It truly felt
like old school nine on seven football taking place the
whole time.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Getting coached hard. Yes, I do feel like in the
in the the state of Florida coaching, you do gotta
be harder on these thing. Yes. Why is that they
grow up differently in Florida? Go ahead, expand, So like Levonte,
he grew up and he went to the high school
Miami Northwestern, where there's more you're more like in the

(38:54):
streets in Miami where these dudes grow up, so all
they know is being coached hard. If you're not if
you're not getting in their ass and creating these boundaries
of like here's what we do on the field, here's
how we go off the field. If you're not in
their ass at all times, they can they can deviate
from the course. But I just feel like youth football
in Florida is coached way differently to where we would

(39:14):
watch a practice, say we had a say we say
we had sons, we'd be watching a youth practice. If
we watch youth practices in Florida, we'd be like, oh shit,
this is a I don't know if we want our
kids getting coached this way mentality. Yeah, you know what
I mean. I'm with you on that. I'm gonna pass
these out real quick because you will. And again, even
in high school, like I watched when I was in

(39:35):
high school, I watched this documentary called The Year of
the Bull where in the documentary they're covering like this
four or five star athlete at Miami Northwestern is one
of the best high school football high schools like in America,
and the way that they had these boys in the shower,
you like, yelling at him, throwing hands at them, They're
fighting at practice. Like it's just a different culture down

(39:56):
in Florida. So then when you get to whether it's Florida, Miami,
Florida State, like they the kids that come from Florida there,
they're coached a certain way and you can't let the
foot off the gas. When we were in Texas Tech
and we were talking to I was talking to one
of those strength coaches that played at Bama and he
was in Florida with coach Napier, and he had all

(40:17):
the greatest things in the world to say about Napier,
but even him, he was like, there's a way you
have to coach these guys when you're down in that area. Now,
even though Napier is all the time, he loved Napier,
he's like he just everybody that was operating over the
University of Florida. They lost the pulse on that to
where the players ended up kind of not like doing
whatever they wanted, but the discipline and the way you

(40:38):
have to get after these dudes, it just wasn't there.
And then you're playing ketchup when you all, He's like,
all you have to do is get behind in one
recruiting class or two and then you're playing ketchup the
whole time. The culture's not instilled there, and that's the
vibe I was getting at Miami watching the practice go on.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
But we had a bunch of guys from Florida and
Michigan when I went there, and there's a bunch of
dudes from a spot called Pahokee, Florida, and everything I
could gather from the town of Pahokee, Florida was low
income area, tough life to live, and their football program
was everything you explained to the point where their conditioning
was they would take rabbits and they would put them

(41:13):
in this like round penned area and their conditioning for
that day was like catch the rabbit and you couldn't
leave until you caught the rabbit.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Yeah. No, uh.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
Dinards from Deerfield, different different spot, but there was like
I don't know I was getting. I was getting in
hell with that fucking sticker dude. But Odem's tay Otem,
Brandon Hawthorn, handful of guys that I played with, But
they would they would talk in a way that you
don't understand, where you're kind of smiling and nodding the
whole time until you can kind of figure out the
lingo a little bit. And once you did figure out
the lingo, it's them telling you about like, oh, this

(41:44):
ship we're doing in college when you're we're all dying,
like this shit's easy compared to where we came from.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Yeah, this is nothing to us. I think about Lavonte
talking about his experience at Fort Scott, the Juco route
crazy while the boys are there and they're like fight, like, hey,
you got to run five miles to this lake. Now
that you get to the lake one on one, you
guy's got to basically fight and wrestle. Whoever wins gets
a ride back hill or be killing. And you're saying
it too like those in those environments, it's the meal
ticket out is through sports against through athletics. So it's

(42:11):
just a different intensity that goes on. Yeah, and it
was definitely on. And that's what I was basically trying
to say about Miami, right, Yeah, yeah, about coaching and
all that being said, what you got called.

Speaker 10 (42:22):
The area you're talking about has produced over sixty NFL player.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
Yeah, Bro, that's what I mean. Bro, it's fucking pajocy.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Florida. I've never been. Couldn't pick it out on the map.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
If you showed me a whole the state of Florida,
I could not tell you where it is. But it
is like all those guys that I play with built different, hardworking,
discipline cats who are just willing to die on the
football field because it's how they're brought up.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Florida is a.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Different fucking state. We have the conversation all the time,
my best football state all that, Florida's clearly always in
and I always argue for Arizona, but Florida really might
be it. They got speed, grit, athleticism, everything you can
possibly ask for.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
It.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
It's just molding these guys into what they need to be.
And that's what christ of ball's new at Miami because
and guys like they just kept saying to each other,
killer be killed. Yeah, like let me walking by each other,
because you would go you would split off somewhere else,
I would go somewhere.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
But they tell me passed. It was like a like
a killer be killed. You just knew that was the
monster taking place in that building. The mentality is you
either get out of what's going on at home because
there's there there's no turning back, like you don't want
to go back to or have to end up back
at home. Yeah, Like they just have like it's like
back against the wall mentality. It's like Clump, Like Clump's

(43:29):
talking about is a five year old flag football team.
I bet the fly football teams in Florida. Clump will
probably go there with Jajy and standing there and be like, hey,
we might try out for this football team they watch
practice take place in. Clump will probably like Jesus Christ,
like this is a yeah, and that's all those kids. No,
you know what I mean from the privilege. Do you
come from the areas, the suburbs, stuff like that, you
go out in some of these street these other areas,

(43:50):
the low income areas, It's like it's a different world,
bro right right, lotto yes, and monsters come out of it.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
Monsters check out the blog man got the blog because dude,
it's awesome And dude, Jackson can't will. I mean, I've
never seen a freshman offensive lineman go through one on
one period and win every single one. Never seen that
in mind tat might have been a great day for him,
might have been a regular day for him. But my god,
when I saw I was like, oh, this kid's got
every single piece. There's a reason why I dm this

(44:17):
kid to go to Michigan over and over and over again.
I see the reasons now they're right here.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Ye. Yeah, because he's got it, dude. And the way
his computer works, dude, he operates. He seems like a
good soul too. Yeah, I'm like Missouri boy down here
in Miami. He's like, it's a different Well, I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
Yeah, it's different up here. And he's from Nixon, Missouri.

Speaker 6 (44:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
And for him to say the quote only thing to
come out of Nixon his cigarettes beer Jason born in himself.
But like any guy that would be like, I'm one
of the only things to come out of here is
like kind of like an arrogant thing to say. You
would think the way he says, you're like, fuck yeah, dude, bro,
pull up the right tackle to seventy eight. Because this
cat he came up to me the beginning of practice

(44:59):
right as they're like from the warm up to the
drills he goes through. He was playing right tackle. They're
doing like their inside zone steps. He finishes holding the dummy,
comes with me legit grabs me by a caller and
he's like, anything you have for me today, tell me anything.
And it was just like I need to learn and
chasing the ball, yeah, hey, how fun? How many reps
did you get to chasing the ball? I'm in a
chasing ball guy? Well you're telling you, You're like, hey,

(45:21):
I'm beating Crystal Ball's ass. And then I'm like, okay,
let's get a little competent. Coach Crystal Ball. Taylor's saying
he's rocking. And you know what's crazy is as bad
as my eyes are, my ears have gotten stronger.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
I heard you told.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
So the next one, I'm thinking I'm running. So I
go down on that that one or whatever, and I
see him and I saw the with the yard line
he turned off at I hit myself an extra yard. Yeah,
christ of Ball did not beat me in a sprint
all day, I'll say that.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
But the juice that even comes into coach Crystal Ball
challenging all the coaches make sure you're chasing the ball.
So chasing the ball means a rep goes on and
when the play's dead, whether somebody thuds up or plays
over or drop ball, whatever, whenever there's a stalemate in
the plays. Over All, the coaches and everybody's chasing the ball,
running in the middle, juicing up their boys, coaching their
guys hard. Yeah, massive fan of the defensive coordinator, is it, Heatherman,

(46:06):
You're just on a massive extension to did he well deserved?
You can tell bro any meeting room I sat, and
you can just they're talking about situational football, you know,
down in distance, hey, third down period, red zone period.
They're in such situational teaching right now as far as
their installs go in spring ball to where a lot
of teams are a lot of things that you see
is they're just installing from the start how to line

(46:27):
up on defense, how to do these things. You're not
necessarily in the weeds of situational awareness. The fact that
he's up front in the defensive room talking about situational awareness,
and the entire room of players is sitting there coaching
loud what they need to be doing. Like for the
guy next to them, it's not a coach lt thing.
He frames the situation going on. They're going through motions,
but all the players are speaking up loudly. They're talking loud.

(46:49):
They're just getting right to where I'm like, Yo, Miami's
gonna be.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Nice this year.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
Yeah, yeah, especially you see two years ago with cam
Ward and that was the biggest Achilles shial for them
was the defense. Then the turn around that did this
past year is just awesome to see. Let me just
give this kid a shot. Requick real quick, Matthew McCoy.
This cat dude, from the minute we stepped in the field,
grabs my call and is like anything you can tell me,
I need the help. The great thing is he's got

(47:13):
a great off. It's a line coach. I need you
to look him up his name because I'm just I'm
terrible with that CTE. But this coach, he's like, his
stature is a smaller stature coach. Me and JP we
go sit in the old line room and he's going
over the install that they have. It's breaking down their
gap scheme where the tight ends lined up inside zone
and some of their mid zone outside zone stuff. While

(47:34):
he's talking. Halfway through the whole entire meeting, he takes
a break. He doesn't bring me up, but he introduces
me to the rest of the room. Tells me, listen,
we're gonna teach these guys. Anything you've played, you've had
the success. Fuck what we think anything you can tell
these guys you're not stepping on anybody's toes. So he
already gives me the pass like, go in, do you things,
help these guys any way you possibly can. And while

(47:55):
he's putting in the install for all these guys, he's
also looking at me multiple times and be like, hey, Taylor,
just so you know, we put this number in front
of that. That means how many tight ends where the
tight end is going to be to the point where
I go out to practice and on a very loose
and a very loose standpoint, I understand now what we're
doing today. So when they're calling the plays in that
period where we're chasing the ball and all that, he's like,

(48:17):
they're telling me the number and I'm like, okay, so
that's duo this way, and he's like, yes, absolutely tight ends.
Letting up on that side. So now I'm over during
a break between that period and two minutes where I'm
talking the tight ends about how they line up and
everything like that. Because a couple guys kind of figured
out that I knew what the install was and the
numbers because the numbers are so predicated on where the
tight ends. Like, it was awesome how inclosive they were

(48:38):
while also being as violent and tough on those guy
tough on those guys Alex mirror ball am I saying
that correctly, this guy is incredible a dude that Yeah,
I swear to god, this guy's five to seven, but
his attitude and his energy. The guys in the room,
their eyes are massive, they're looking they respect him so much.

(48:58):
It's really cool to see as you see these gargantuan men,
dudes that are towering over me, and they're looking at
him like like feed us information.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
Yeah, bro, Like it's just really cool. It's the quote
of it's not the size of the dog in the
fights and size of the fight and the dog this
guy and he comes up to us afterwards too, like
appreciating us for the cam Jurgens. He's like, anytime, but
you guys have an old lineman on. I send it
to all my guys. Yeah, I sent it to all
my players. Hey listen to this right because he's like,
I listen to you guys all the time, Like just
when I'm out on a jaw, and I'm like, heil,
let's fucking.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Go, dude, Puld the assistant on line coach, because he
was he and I. He didn't break character until about
halfway through practice and he's we're looking at the sheet
and this is probably around the chase chase drill because
we're both chased, and he's.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Like, I gotta tell you, man, I've been watching your
guys this show forever. But he was awesome, dude. I
we got to get his name because he was so great.
The on line coach and christ Ball were high school teammates.
By the way, Yeah, ever, it's awesome Chris Ball. Obviously
you guys are gonna listen to the interview, but he
talks about in the interview how they've known each other
for what forty years.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
Forever and they would just talk about if they were
ever coaches.

Speaker 11 (49:58):
Weren't they the men and each other's wide to uh.

Speaker 4 (50:01):
Mirror Ball was Chris Chris Ball was the best man
and Mirraball's wedding. But Chris Ball was like, I couldn't
my brother because he would have killed me. That was
that for CT That was a good callback. But sometimes
I can give myself a little. All right, you still
got it.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
We had fun with coach Chris Ball two in the interview.
Did you tell some questions? Right, Hey, this is this
is not us, Yeah, this is not us. It's the
internet asking.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
Yeah, letting the fans ask question is such a loophole
for us to ask the dumbest ship.

Speaker 7 (50:26):
In the world, especially when the question comes for tailor.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Sometimes you gotta get a couple, man,
But yeah we don't. I mean we can look up
the coach. I do want to give him some flowers.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
Their middle linebacker too. Yeah, but you look at it
this this dude. Yeah, from the waist down, you're just
like mind even the waist up, bro, the shelf he's
got sitting on his shoulders.

Speaker 4 (50:50):
You see, I only saw him shoulder pats on, so
I didn't get to I didn't get to see the trap.
The traps and a T shirt set the tone for
me with with mid boulders.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
You out right here to where the teeth? Yeah, you
know you know what look I'm talking about. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
Hey, we all want it, Yeah, we all want it.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
He didn't him up, but I felt his back whenever
I tapped him up. He doesn't know it, but I
was getting a nice little.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
If you can get that, yeah, you can get that
backstrap that before the spine. You dap somebody up. You
feel that. It's like, all, we got somebody here, we
got somebody here. I understand now why coaches kind of
grab you so much. I remember like going like on
recruiting visits. I can't see that far clon. Yeah, yeah,
all right, Danny Jar, Danny Hjar, shout out, Danny.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
He was awesome, like like essentially my host if I
was the recruit, Like he was just taking me around
everywhere during practice. He was so great. But yeah, dude,
coaches grabbing you. You remember like going on visits and
coach all right, you see man, You're like, why the Yeah,
I get it now though, I understand it because I
see a couple now. I'm like, all right, when I

(51:55):
was we were at Texas Tech, that right tack, I
started put my hands on a little bit. You could
see he was he was already on.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
I'm gonna start taking the I'm gonna start diving into
my instinct. I'm gonnadap him up, and then I'm gonna
go down and just start feeling the quads. Yeah, like,
how you doing claws more than this? Man? I love
some clubs, some quads. Yeah, dude, shout out Danny, you
are speaking of quads. Go ahead, Uh Texas Tech linebacker Nope. Rodriguez, Rodriguez,

(52:23):
Jacob Rodriguez. I wonder where he's gonna go in the draft.
Should we start talking some draft dope I've been trying
to Yes, you have been before we get into the
draft talk or we're gonna talk about cracking one to
ollipop right here? I got classic grape. It is in
my top three.

Speaker 7 (52:44):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Nice taste of lollipop right there. If I was drafting
this week, my first overall pick would be the brand
of Ollipop. Ollipop is a new kind of soda that
combines classic soda taste with the benefits of a functional
ingredient blend to support digestive health. Ollipop is reimagining soda
with high fiber and low sugar. You can get a
free can of Lollipop when you buy any two cans

(53:06):
of Volley Pop in store, and we will pay you
back for one. Works on any flavor any retailer. Just
go to drinkollipop dot com, Drinkollipop dot com slash bwtb
Ollipop is sold online at drinkolipop dot com and on
Amazon inavailable in the soda aisle with the chilled beverages

(53:26):
at thousands thousands of retailers nationwide, including Walmart and Target.
Drink Lollipop. Let's talk about the NFL Draft.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
I saw an interesting thing where it's like talking about
jacobro Riaz will be the second linebacker taken. He's more
of a Day two guy taking place. Then you watch
the film and you start to realize, oh, he doesn't
really have any flaws in his game. My question when
I'm watching the clip, I can't remember who it was,
might have been DJ breaking down him. It's like, why
would Jacobar Ricaz be a Day two guy and the

(53:58):
second linebacker taken? When he had the stat line he
did he was? Was he a finalist for the Heisman?
Or was he he was like a fifth or six?
He was in the conversation towards the end, like is
he gonna get the invite to go get the Heisman?
You watch that kid's film from a leadership standpoint, you
see when he's got the green dot on everyone their
eyes just go straight to him. Instinctual he finds the ball,

(54:19):
he has great hands catching it. It was a quarterback
in high school. Correct, yep, quarterback in high school. I mean,
I'll let you kind of break this kid down a
little bit more, but I thought impressive. Great mustache has
left so much of a legacy. When we pull up
to Texas Tech, the three linebackers who look the exact
same same height, same stat line and weight and everything,
they've all got mustaches. And that's not a coincidence because
Jacob Rodriguez was just there just a minute ago.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Yeah, I think he's uh. I think he's in a
great spot if he's going to go in the second round,
because again, then he won't have that fifth option, y
fifth auption tied to him. He'll get the free agency
sooner because for him, even when we're at Texas Tech,
they talk about how smart he is and how much
he plays from the neck up, because all the things
on film, like, yeah, he's a Heisman, he was in
the Heisman whether it was finalists, semi finalist. But he
has high ball production and defense like scouts, everybody loves

(55:03):
when you have high ball production. So he's somebody who's
around the ball at all times. He's obviously going to
fill the stat sheet with tackles, you know, assists and tackles,
all that stuff. A guy who makes a play behind
the line of scrimmage, guy who makes plays when he's
got a chance, an opportunity at an interception, getting your
fist on balls, creating force fumbles. He has a high
ball production. So that's that's sort of me. It's like, dude,

(55:23):
if he goes in the second round, honestly, good for
him because he's not going to have that fifth year
option tied to him, because he's going to be a
stud in the league.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
If you can get if you're not in that top
fifteen range for the money, that money is as big
as it is now, you should be thinking of yourself,
how do I get in that early second because the
only reason is that fifthyer option you've already brought up. Yeah,
because you're not tied to anything, you can be faster.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Clean take, clean take, Oh sure, sure wrote this down?
Sure clean ta, dude.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
I hate to do this, interrupt like Kevin snatchral Foods
clean take.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
He's the steal of the draft wan cake in opinion,
and you're ainion.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
You don't have to take it or leave it. Michael
Trigg also just.

Speaker 4 (56:03):
Got okay, yeah too. Yeah, two steals steal clean take.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
You'd rather be drafted early second than from the that
twenty to thirty two slot. Clean take. I take. I
like Kevin's, Kevin's Natural Food, Kevin from notre Days. Yeah, Kevin.

Speaker 4 (56:26):
Kevin's Rip dude, And that's it. That is That's a
sneaky clean take because a lot of football players they
want to get picked for that twenty to thirty two
so they can say I was a first round draft pick.
But truly, bro from a longevity standpoint, really a more
money standpoint, you gotta get in that thirty three range.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
Now, it's about getting to that second contract.

Speaker 4 (56:43):
The guys that get drafted thirty three to forty steals
at the draft, steals for themselves. That might be a
Kevin's Natural Food clean like that clean thirty three to forty.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
You're living easy, You're living good.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Brother.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
Did you see there's a quote going around about is
it Riley talking about how much.

Speaker 4 (57:01):
Told this car last night ripping packs? By the way,
pulled his card go ahead.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Riley Leonard, Yeah, how's the ripping pack thing going? Body?
Last night?

Speaker 4 (57:07):
I think was incredible with Courtyard dot I shout out
Jared Beeman. I want to give him actually a round
of applause. The way he came in tell us tuning in.
So every Sunday night, seven pm Central Time, we go
live on my Instagram. I rip packs, we do Pokemon.
In the beginning, we get some football cards, and then
just last night, for the first time, we've used courtyard
dot Io. It's an app that you can actually it's

(57:29):
like thrill shopping randomly pulling slaps. So I brought three
different fans in and I gave them three five hundred
dollars rips, and in that exact moment, once they picked
the card they wanted, I sent it off to them.
Some guy hit a Dan Marino Kaboom card, which is
I think it was a five hundred dollars pack.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
The card was a.

Speaker 4 (57:45):
Valued at eight hundred and forty five dollars when he
pulled it. But Beaman comes in starts spamming the chat.
I know I wanted to be a group chat because
all of a sudden, all the boys are in a
group chat, all of a sudden, spam and everything.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
So we had it. We had a good, good group
of boys in them. And so when people hit this
courtyard io, they just tapped the screen, it'll like like
spin or whatever, and then the pack opens up and
it shows them the card that they get exactly.

Speaker 4 (58:06):
So you can do like anywhere from ten dollars cards
like five thousand dollars cards, and if you like, I
need a new watch, but I don't know what I
want to get, they have five thousand dollars rips and
ten thousand dollars rips for that where you can just
get certain certain kind of cards. Then when the card
with the cards come out or the watch comes out,
you can do three things. You can sell it back
immediately for like at ninety percent of the value of
whatever you pulled and then go rip again. You can

(58:27):
put it in this vault and send it to a buddy,
or you can actually have it sent to you into
your house.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
So the minute that damn Marino card got pulled that
it was a five hundred dollars pack.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
It was a five hundred dollars pack. The card was
worth over eight hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
And you take that damn Marino card and you send
it directly to that guy to where he can either
keep it in the vault, or get it shipped to
him directly.

Speaker 4 (58:44):
Took my user name to L one seventy seven and
send it to him right then and there, and it
says transaction complete. So it goes to him. Now he
has the card and he just get in mint condition,
mint condition. How sick is that?

Speaker 3 (58:55):
That's awesome?

Speaker 4 (58:56):
Yeah, because rip it packs is awesome. But raw cards
don't hold the same amount of value as a car
that's been graded. So a card, that's great, you have
to pay for that process to go in. It's like
twenty business days or whatever it is. Then it comes
back to you. It could be this could be that.
So ripping slabs unbelievable. And this new chrome tops thing,
by the way, is so much fun. You know, we
gotta do what we gotta do.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
You know, we gotta do.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
I know what we gotta do.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
Imagine. Yeah, Yes, it's an audience member out there. You're
the audience. You're the audience.

Speaker 4 (59:26):
You're the audience. That's the reason why ripping packs really
started was just figure it out a way to give
to the people. Because we thought about it, we talked
about doing a lot of different ways to give away.
There's one clear path from a monetary value to give
it away to fans, a lot of red tape, a
lot of red tape for us to go down. So
this is a nice little way for us to get
back to the fans in a big way.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
Especially if people got like a team and they Miami
Dolphins fan, they get a Damn Marino kaboom kaboom, a
Damn Marino kaboom that gets boom. Yeah, dude posted it like,
oh yeah, the car right now, because I have you
said they do rolexes, buddy, you can just rip a lot.
You can watch, but is just up here. Hey, we're
gonna rip an audience. Remember watch boom all right, who

(01:00:05):
wants to watch? They'll watch them with papers and everything.
It's nuts.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
Let me show you this card. This card is actually
sick because the Pokemon cards my kids and I are into,
but these football cards are sick.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
It's just a holographic Damn Marino kaboom boom boom kaboom
baby booms.

Speaker 5 (01:00:27):
Players power players. Those power player cards look sick and
tops was at the draft last year in Green Bay.
Hopefully they're they're in Pittsburgh because they were in and
out a ton of cards. You guys, last year.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
So if you're a collectibles fan, you love ripping packs,
you mostly do what NFL college Pokemon literally.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
So with collector, what I can do is I can
rip any If you like baseball, can rip baseball, if
you like hockey, I can.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
Rip anything you want. You'll just bring a fan in
and they'll tell you, Yeah, what do you want.

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
Me to rip for you?

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
This is the year the audience is not about me.
If it's me, I'm ripping a Pokemon card. But what
do you want to rip?

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Got you?

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Yeah? So anybody tapped in. If you're a collectibles fan,
go to Taylor's Dream every Sunday night, seven pm Central Time.
That is correct, sir. That is if you get pulled up,
share a screen, you get to pick the collectible you
want to rip, right and tell it. Tell Taylor Rolex, Yeah,
we're doing five. We're doing five. I'll get you a fossil.
Let's go. We got a five hundred dollars. You'll love this.

(01:01:25):
You'll love this.

Speaker 4 (01:01:26):
The uh that Caleb Guy I pulled. I brought him
on Instagram live. Both of his kids are sitting right
there and his he had a boy and a girl
shout out him having the American Dream, and I was like, what.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Do you want to rip? He looks at his son,
He's like, what do you want to He's like football,
So his son is getting that card. Oh that is awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
I had a Bears fan. Best CARDI pool was a
Packers bart Star card that to day. It's a great card.
I think it was like six hundred dollars in value.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
He's gonna have it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
He can go sell it if he wants, go sell it.
Rip what you want?

I want to get the cards. Let me try to
get something nice exactly, let me go shopping on Mother's Day. Actually,
don't do that, btw TV dot comments you want to.
But I'm fascinated with this Courtyard thing. It's kind of genius.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
Like what can't you rip? That's what Cordny needs to
figure out. Like, let's get some real estate in there.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
We have ten thousand acres in Arkansas. You that right now,
sixty thousand dollars. See what you can get Tennessee.

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):

you do cars, cars or bags or hats whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
You real estates.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
They have it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
They haven't uh, they have it broken down into regions
and it's just land in the region. Exactly. You just
get a nice plot of land in Chili. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:02:53):
We're ripping cliff sides in Grease today.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
We're at beachfront properties here on Courtyard Dot. You're telling
me all I gotta do is sign up for Courtyard.
I can give you guys this property that I'm selling
and I'll just get a commission fee when somebody rips
the back.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
All right, yeah yeah Courtyard.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
Yeah, Courtyard needs to maybe just sitting in with us, no.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
Bad ideas in a brainstorm.

Speaker 4 (01:03:19):
Real estate might be the move commercial buildings just he
why'd you get this?

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Courtyard?

Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
Just got some premium spot in New York City. It's
ours now we have.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
This just start ripping services like say you need a
plumber and you're just ripping. Okay, look at my budget's
fifty and you just rip a pack to get a
better value. Plumber, Oh shit, this plumbers was seventy five?
Who come to the house right now? Oh this one's
ten dollars?

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
Yeah, this one, I sell them back, get another ripping.
What can't Courtyard do is a question fans were all
about to do. Should do it for the NFL draft?
You start ripping players? Yeah, that's how the NFL draft
should do. We're taking.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Yeah, ship, we got fors the hell? Yeah? Trade them back?
We don't want that one. We have a quarterback for
the tenth pick. The Cowboys are gonna opt to use Courtyard.
I ow, I got a second round for Jackson? Guy?
Should should the Eagles do that?

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
For A J? Brown?

Speaker 3 (01:04:14):
Who are gonna trade him to? Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:04:16):
The A J?

Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
Brown? Hey diner was right, Hey clean dead diners. Gota
had a crazy turnaround in the last seven days. Yes, bro,
what you save a family?

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):
And I dude, I saw that like six times before.
I was like, okay, is it real? I didn't know
if she was like I saw them like, I'm not
gonna comment on this. Were gonna watch them afar?

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
My brain was going to the PR team And does
anybody watch the TV show The Boys. When you put
that in the group chat, I thought, I was like,
this has gotta be funny for somebody. Yeah. I saw
Derek chime in with a laugh. I'm like, all right,
let's see who because anybody who's watching The Boys right now?
Phenomenal show, by the way. Uh but it's it listen,
great show, go check it out. But what about that's

(01:05:01):
who's operating her PR two? Got you? Okay, that's who's
operating her PR two. All right, yeah, it's the joke.
Let's go say kids.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
Yeah, like that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
I'll get you at any hot water you can possibly
get in. We're gonna have somebody flip their vehicle. You're
gonna r right there on the scene, dive in up top,
pull the old man out, pull him out. Yeah, she
gets a machete, she cuts the seatbelt.

Speaker 4 (01:05:20):
No problem, they hired. She's just completely prepared for everything.

Speaker 5 (01:05:22):
The actors on the curb and goes, oh shit, is
that Diana Rossini.

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
Yeah, she looks over. There's a camera privilege. She wings
into the camera. It's Diana Racini. It makeup's perfect. Yeah,
but hey, a g Brown of the Patriots. It's not official, right,
It seems likely that it's gonna happen. Here's what I do.

Speaker 4 (01:05:40):
Here's what throws me off. June first, and I know
there's like contractual things that take place. The new league
year starts March fourteen, but all these things, a lot
of things between April twentieth, this is where we are now,
shut up my anniversary and June first, a lot of
shit can go down. Yeah, especially with that GM.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
For the Eagles. Man he's a gangster.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
Yeah, he's probably behind closed doors manipulating some stuff. Just
head head to swivel. Patriots fans head to swivel.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Yeah, yeah, I'd love to see a J. Brown be
a Patriots I would love it too. I think that's
exactly what they need. Think if you're the Patriots, what
happened last week, You're like, all right, now, we got
to get out some AJ Brown talk to come to
the Patriots or is that how you on the Eagle side?
Let's get this float this out there for something optically.

(01:06:25):
I just I'm always fascinated with the game inside the
game that.

Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
Goes because there is always a game in the game,
Like any sort of news thing that takes place after
something does happen. Everything is strategic. Yeah, everything is strategic.
Why would somebody talk about a trade happening in June
first in April.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
And then tag the word likely likely like shut out
Schefty breaking that news? Yeah the boys. Yeah, but who's
Schefty talking to to release that headline?

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Right? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
He won't tell us either, he would. I think Chefty.

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
I think Chef Chefty's always been good about Like, anytime
I had a question about behind closed doors, he always
texts me. I think there's an understanding. I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna step on your toes. I just want
the education of what's really happening. Yeah, because Chefty, he's
in the weeds. Man, he break it down at a
breakfast club. Yeah that Chefty's great about that. But don't
talk or I'll show at your door.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
Right because you know he's got connections in that way. Yeah,
he's got connections. I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
What else happened in the news. Uh So, for those
who don't know Miami fans, we used to be with Barstool.
Shout out Barstool. Great company, gave us some wings, made
our wings a little bigger so we could fly. But
something took place this past weekend between Will Compton and
Dave Portnoy where Dave I didn't watch the full video,
I saw there was a spat going on.

Speaker 3 (01:07:46):
I looked at it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:46):
I got back from Vegas with my kids. I'm like,
I'm too tired to even invest in what's going on here.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
But see what.

Speaker 3 (01:07:56):
You want to what happened.

Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
He was stilling shaded at the number one number and
look at brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
Brilliant marketing on their side. They're trying to trying to
show that they have free insurance for players in the
first half on injury, like and if the NBA Playoffs
is a big prop betting NBA is a big prop
betting game for the NBA and for these sports books.
So when I saw Dave kind of doing a breaking
news and he says Fan Duel is charging people for insurance,
and he's like breaking breaking, saying DK does it for free,

(01:08:26):
I had to dive into what was going on, and
I'm thinking, Okay, they're marketing as free first half insurance
for if a player gets hurt in the first half,
you will get free insurance, like your bet will get
paid back. But you go into fan Duel because FanDuel
offers it's called bet Protection Plus. And what bet protection
plus is is say you have a probably, say Jeremy

(01:08:46):
Clump's gonna get over ten points in this NBA playoff.
Hell yeah, and you hit the toggle on opt into
bet protection Plus. They charge a three percent They charge
a three percent insurance fee, but it covers you for
the entirety of the game. So Whetherjeremy Clump gets hurt
in the first minute or the last minute, you are
protected across the board. So I'm thinking of it. I'm
seeing Dave do his thing on fanduels, say DraftKings or

(01:09:08):
America blah blah, you shouldn't be charged on insurance. I'm
thinking this isn't about what costs less. This is about exposure.
No matter what. If you opt into free for the
first half, like, that's not that's not protection. It's exposure
sold at a discount. Like, it's all about consequence. So
if you're taking say you do one hundred dollars bet
on Jeremy Clump to have over twenty points in this
NBA playoff, points just went up. Yeah, you're protected throughout

(01:09:31):
the entire game. So if he again, if he gets
hurt in the fourth quarter, you're gonna get your straight
bet paid back to you within twenty four hours. Or
if Jeremy Clump's part of a four legg parlay, if
he gets injured and you opted in a bet protection plus,
it won't count towards the parlay, but you're covered throughout
the entire game, not covered in the first half. So
that's what I was going back. I see Dave do
his video, He's like, alert, Alert, Alert. I just found

(01:09:53):
a fun moment to like, I'm gonna mock Dave's video
and I'm gonna tell people about the opportunity that you
have the FanDuel, How fanno does it compare to everybody else,
because it's not just it's not just first half, like,
this is the entirety of the game.

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
And because this is not Dave's fault. He's never been
an athlete in his entire life. He's never understood the
grueling being on a court or on a field and
how soft tish injuries take place. So it's not Dave's
fault that he has no idea how the human body works.
We've seen him walk around, clearly my boy's melting away
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
But most injuries he's getting steps. For a guy who
eats pizza every single day's a phenomenal physic. It's hard
to beat that physique. He pizza every single day. However,
if you are an athlete, most soft tish injuries take
place in these second half of things because as when
your body's when broken down a little bit, electrostarts, electrolights

(01:10:44):
are depleted, you're less hydrated, all the things. People get
a little more sloppy, a little more tired. You're out
of that zone two cardio. You're now in the zone
three or fourth. You're beathing a little bit bit. Heavier
injuries happen more at the end of games, or in
the second half of games than any moments. Are higher
in the second half. The intensity of the game like
you were just talking about, and the fatigue that you
have on your muscles, like more injuries are more likely

(01:11:04):
to occur in the second half.

Speaker 4 (01:11:06):
All that being said, I don't blame Dave. He doesn't
know what he doesn't know, right, And for that FanDuel,
whether it's three percent, but you're getting full coverage, like
if I'm if I'm gonna have insurance, I love full coverage, right,
not a sometimes coverage because it's a little bit cheaper.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Yeah, it's like pulling up those to those loan chops. Hey,
we got free cash loans. You're free. They markets free
for your free. No, you want if you're gonna bet smart,
you're gonna bet responsible. You want coverage to mitigate the
risk throughout all of your exposure. Fandel offers entire game protection.
So if you're again Jeremy klump one hundred dollars, bet
you opted a production plus an extra three dollars to

(01:11:44):
protect me if he happens to get hurt. I want
my money back at any point in the game, any
point in the game, because you got these fugazis out
there being like, oh first half free, first have free
first that free. No, no, no, no, no no. You
need to mitigate your risk. You want to be smart here.
Nothing's free, nothing, nothing's free.

Speaker 5 (01:12:00):
Bumper to bumper protection, bumper to.

Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
Bumper protection throughout all sixty minutes, even over time, off overtime.
God love that, dude, Gotta love that.

Speaker 10 (01:12:08):
While we're on FanDuel, they did just add a new
little draft tab for the conference. Total number of Big
Ten players drafted over under eleven and a half. The
SEC is only listed at over under eight and a
half big ten SEC.

Speaker 4 (01:12:24):
Yeah, listen, the ten sec situation is it's already, Jack, right.

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
The change of the guard is taking place. It's taking place.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
Is that fair?

Speaker 11 (01:12:34):
Besides, Matt, I'm the only SEC stand guy here.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
So Lump is a Florida Gators fan, yes, crazy shot.
Demon's a Georgia Bulldogs fan.

Speaker 12 (01:12:46):
No, okay, sure yeah, Demons a Bulldog fan the same
way that my Look, I'm not going to go into
this battle right here. This is an uphill battle pushing
the rock for me, you guys. Recency bias, yes, doing well.
It's all cyclical though, it's gonna come back, and that's
all off.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
It's a cycle. Cyclicals good.

Speaker 4 (01:13:07):
Cyclical is good? Is that just means cycle? I think
a cycle.

Speaker 11 (01:13:11):
Because that that's the correct way. It's cyclical, cyclical.

Speaker 3 (01:13:17):
Do you want to give you want to give me?
I want to give a little confidence.

Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
He's walk a little bit too, just Jack objectively? Yeah,
the best conference is the SEC is the big ten
right now, and it's it's right now. The facts, all
the facts are happening. We're looking at draft picks. We
see where the numbers are at. We look at the
last three national championships where those are at not just
one team, three different teams. So yeah, just right now,

(01:13:42):
the Big Ten is the best.

Speaker 3 (01:13:43):
That's what makes the SEC is the best regional conference.
The Big Ten is the best national conference.

Speaker 12 (01:13:50):
Right, that's a great Hey, there's a thousand ways of
skin a cat. You guys are gonna you're getting there. Look,
I'm an SEC guy. You're never gonna hear me say
the Big Ten is elite. Two compare them to the SEC?
Because I love the South, so I'm not gonna talk
about this. How much do you love the South?

Speaker 11 (01:14:10):
A lot more than most?

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Prove it? How about this? Is there only one team
or one conference that can be elite?

Speaker 11 (01:14:20):
No, I don't think so. I think multiple conferences can
be elite.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
So could you can you say right now that the
Big Ten is an elite conference knowing that the SEC
is alteractically?

Speaker 11 (01:14:30):
Yeah, they are, but I'm not saying they're more elite
than than others.

Speaker 3 (01:14:33):
Okay, all right, that's fair.

Speaker 4 (01:14:36):
Another question may progress then, Yeah, do you think, uh,
what do you think the ceiling for the Tennessee Balls
is this year?

Speaker 11 (01:14:43):
It's a big year.

Speaker 12 (01:14:44):
Josh Hypel could be one of those where if we
don't get over eight wins, his name.

Speaker 11 (01:14:48):
Is on the hot seat one hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
I think that's a big mistake for times.

Speaker 11 (01:14:52):
I mean, I agree, I love Hyppool.

Speaker 12 (01:14:53):
We also were going through a quarterback change right now,
so it's we had g Mac who's most likely going
to be the starter, but then we us have phase
on Brandon, who is gonna be elite. But you can't
start phase on Brandon at the beginning of the year
solely because the Tennessee Falls. Our fandom is chaotic, it's crazy,
it's stressful. If you get this new kid going in
here and he makes a mistake up front, our fan

(01:15:15):
base is gonna flip on him. They're gonna lose confidence.
You already have a guy who's had a couple experiences
playing in the sec. Let him make a few mistakes
if he will, and then if that happens where you
need to make a switch, you still have phase on
Brandon in the backseat. Put him up there, let him
get some game time experience.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
We'll see.

Speaker 12 (01:15:32):
But I am we're getting that point of the year
where man, that fall is creeping up, creeping.

Speaker 11 (01:15:38):
I am fired up.

Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
Chefy Baby and I were having this conversation last week.
It's like when the Super Bowl happens. I'll speak for myself.
I'm ready for a small break. I'm a little footballed out.
We do it every single day. You're looking into stuff,
You're doing the ESPN, We're doing the gambling shows, We're
doing the breakdowns and everything to where it's like this
has been an absolute grind getting through the fall. I
could use myself two weeks just to kind of decompress,

(01:16:01):
get the batteries back to neutral before we start going
on the long run. And yet again, I'm officially in
that mode right now where it's like we love some
ball back. Yeah, we love some ballback right now. Michigan's
spring game took place this past Saturday, and it's just
like it's just nice to see the winged helmet out
on the field. Nice to see a pack stadium washing
in a spring game and the Kyle Whittingham saga starting.

Speaker 6 (01:16:23):
I enjoy that.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:16:24):
I'm just like, Buddy, we get into June, I'm gonna
be itching. Yeah, I'm having withdrawals. I'm having I'm having
people are having Moneyline Matthew's withdrawals. I'm having football withdraws.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
Yeah, because we've had a couple of months.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
I'm wearing a white shirt for God's six.

Speaker 3 (01:16:36):
We've had a couple of months now, and now it's
like we just did the Spring Tour and it kind
of gets the juice is just going for some excitement,
some football.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
And you know what pisses me off about the Spring
tour is I swear I would do ten of those.
I think it's so I'm bummed we did just three.
It was awesome, Every experience was incredible. But you know, dude,
it's just it's so hard to beat going to these
guls and how we've kind of put ourselves in a
position to be like, these guys are essentially recruiting and

(01:17:04):
they're showing us the best.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
The best.

Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
We had a we had a damn high dive at
Miami Beautiful that we erase.

Speaker 3 (01:17:09):
The swim team liked the experiences we get. I would
love to just keep keep going. The women's swim team
was yelling at me, we don't got all day. Scared
boy was out there, legs were shaking a little bit
up when Taylor came back up and was giving me
the one, two, three, like, hey, you can do this,
bro yea because you're still going back down like that ladder.
Getting up there, I'm in my head like, okay, I

(01:17:31):
don't want to jump, but I'm definitely not going back
down because it's even scarier to climb the ladder back down,
and you willly you can't be a bitch like you
got up. You're on the GoPro right.

Speaker 4 (01:17:40):
They're going going like the ladder. That high dive was
the scariest part for me. It's like, bro, because you
kind of get in, you did it narrow my shoulders.
I couldn't really get in, like do I go outside?
Do I go inside?

Speaker 12 (01:17:50):
Get on that last ladder man and you and you
feel if the worst possible scenario happens, it's over for me.

Speaker 11 (01:17:57):
It's all all just for this bit.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
It was worth it then exactly. And then you're up
too high. Yeah, you can't go back down because you
know the ladders wet, narrow, Like it's just why is.

Speaker 4 (01:18:09):
Everything around a pool gott to be so hard?

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
You know?

Speaker 4 (01:18:12):
Have you ever noticed that, like she's just a little
more rough around a pool? Yeah, pads and ship exactly, guys.
But yeah, I dude, watch and you jump off.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
That was awesome. Yeah, I was up there for what
four minutes, there's a hang on, we'll be up there.
I don't think that I'm not going anywhere soon right now.
I just wanted to kind of go.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
Again because I knew like we had a fight out
amount of time. I just I think that's so fun.

Speaker 5 (01:18:34):
For some marketing, uh, for the blog, JP would be
remiss if we did not mention Will's scream. Going into
the water is worth a rewind at least three times.
I know I showed it to Will.

Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
He was giggling, dude scream.

Speaker 4 (01:18:52):
After I went up with Will and he jumped, we
were both in the water again, We're kind of sitting
there holding onto the side and we just goes. I
was waiting for it to get fun all the way,
but it just wasn't. I'm thinking, hey, that's got to
be such a weird feeling to be like, I'll enjoyed
this once I'm in the air.

Speaker 3 (01:19:10):
Yeah, Like the entire time of being in the air,
you did not have you know, like you lose your stomach,
but at some point the stomach will kind of come
back and you'll enjoy the last fall down. And it
just never really happened. It never really happened.

Speaker 5 (01:19:22):
There's rivers that will you're retired from jumping off the
ten meter dive.

Speaker 3 (01:19:27):
I might be retired, However, I would still consider, don't
you say got still consider skydiving? You would consider skydiving
because it's so far, like there's something about like you
can feel the ground closer to you even though you're
still up high. Like I'm just not I am afraid
of heights, not roller coasters, but just free falling heights.
I know we're free falling out of a plane, but again,

(01:19:49):
it's so low, so you got another guy strapped to
your back, and it's like it's just nothing but air
all around you. I can't see the concrete. I can't
think about slipping off the ladder, and I'm dead. No
matter what I have time to where again, I'll lose
my stomach. And at some point it will be fine
as we're just kind of free falling. Then a guy's
gonna pull the shoot for me. I'm sure I'll get
scared of I'm getting closer to the ground logic like

(01:20:09):
I would. I don't even know if that logic makes sense.

Speaker 4 (01:20:12):
It doesn't because you're, what five thousand feet in the air,
something crazy, and it's like my thought goes to whenever
I'm like jumping off like a high dive, or you
do it when you're a kid at the lake or
your cliff jumping or whatever. To me, the biggest fear
was like is the water deep enough? And if the
water is deep enough, I feel like I'm gonna get
through whatever's gonna happen, le something goes crazy, and get

(01:20:32):
enough from the rocks. Right, Yeah, there's that. There's all
those things. But in my brain it's like is it
deep enough? Because being a tall boy, that's always scary.
And once the answer is yes, it's like, all right,
we're gonna go the free falling thing out of a plane. Yeah,
you got a guy on the back who's done whatever
a hundred jumps. He's got a little patch on a
shoulder that tells you he's really good at his job.
But you're still hoping that the string and whatever the

(01:20:56):
parachute is made out of holds up for you. For
to me, that it's the free fall. The free art
is not the scary part. It's the and you're like
floating down now, yeah, and you have like another three
thousand feet or whatever it is to like just kind
of float down to the bottom, and it's like, is
this chicken hold?

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
Yeah, you might have just scared me out. You might
have scared me out of doing skydiving. Yeah, you definitely.
We don't want the Virginia Tech guy.

Speaker 4 (01:21:23):
He's safe, correct, we know he's healthy, he's fine. That's
a tough l And you knew he was in a bad,
bad jape. You see that flag. The wind on that
flag is nuts.

Speaker 6 (01:21:32):
He won.

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
That boy was just stationary for a little bit. He
wouldn't go nowhere. Virginia Tech New Year knew us parachute
guy lands on the score board.

Speaker 12 (01:21:40):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:21:40):
James Franklins just watching that like god damn. And then
the social media guys like coach somewhere this is great content, ye,
great exposure for himself. These fucking social media guys now
everything to be content. Everything's gotta be content. Bus what
the boys guys were out there on it? Not on
the fucking the Oklahoma one that I fell for.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
I I.

Speaker 12 (01:22:03):
Up of the weekend and I knew that Oklahoma fans
were going to lose their minds. And we got context
noted on Twitter, and I'm like, I saw jobs done.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
Jack knew what he was doing. I see Oklahoma and
I just thought it was there springing. They're all tripping
over each other in the smoke. I forgot that it
happened when they were in the Big twelve. Yeah, so
I'm like, oh tough, Look, did Texas do this? Everybody's like,
oh no, will you got God? I love the comments.
It's like, you guys are just doing this because they
were mean to you during the playoff game and stuff.
Those ones were good. I thought about that one. I

(01:22:35):
do feel so way every time I see the Oklahoma logo.
Maybe it did come from that.

Speaker 4 (01:22:40):
I didn't post about it, but when I saw I
was like, you know, I just kind of kept going.

Speaker 3 (01:22:44):
People want you to feel dumb that you got gott
and I'm thinking, yeah. I ended up saying like I
felt for a double reverse. Yeah, sometimes you get god
flea flicker, Oh my god, it's a run. Oh shit,
And now they're talking the back in it's the past people.

Speaker 4 (01:22:54):
First, I'm gonna play in tu Lub of Texas from
Arizona and I see that Autars is doing a reboot
like my Life's they faked you out and then you
go up in the air and you're just sitting there
being like what a great day. Entourage is coming back
and you land, you finally get surfaced and it's like, oh,
I got got it happens.

Speaker 3 (01:23:09):
Yeah, it's gonna happen. You're gonnake a false step.

Speaker 4 (01:23:11):
Sometimes you get got by somebody else and sometimes you
get got by your own team. And that's what happened
at Michigan State today doing this dumbass dizzy bat thing.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
What are we doing?

Speaker 11 (01:23:19):
I don't know?

Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
So is this real?

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
Could be ahead of the game.

Speaker 4 (01:23:22):
To be ahead of the game, let's get really dizzy
and go play ball boys, That's just that's hard.

Speaker 12 (01:23:27):
My question is with dizzy bats, and this is kind
of off topic for Michigan State, but when you're doing
a dizzey bat, do you not feel like the bat
should be planted in the ground Because every time you
see a dizzey bat, people are just spinning holding a
dizzey batch to their forehead. You should be spinning around the.

Speaker 3 (01:23:41):
Bat if you if if a dizzy.

Speaker 4 (01:23:44):
Bat is not stationary, it's just a wolfle bat, that's
all it is, and just having fun, making have fun.
But like, let's let's do it correctly, right. Devil's in
the details.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Yeah, devil's in the details.

Speaker 4 (01:23:56):
And I hate Michigan State. Love Ryan Fitzpatrick, Yeah, I
love him. Fitzgerald Peral Jesus Christ idd that every fucking time. Fitzpatrick,
Pat Fitzgerald, Yeah, all of it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:11):
I'm gonna State love Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Speaker 4 (01:24:14):
I'm not I'm thinking to myself, bro, I did that
to Ryan Fitzpatrick. I was talking to him and I
said something. I think I was talking about Larry Fitzgerald
and I said his name. He's like, I'm I'm Ryan Fitzpatrick.
I was like, let's move on, non war onward anyway.
And Max Bull, what about Max Below, He's the d

(01:24:34):
C at Michigan State.

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
Is he love him? Yeah? He's a stud. He's a stud.

Speaker 1 (01:24:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
Who's the OC for Michigan State. He was at Alabama.
I was I was gonna say earlier too, you were
started talking about the Spring Tour. I feel like we
are idiots, but a kind of genius how it fell,
how it fell together, because now we go to the
Draft this week, so that's like all of our content
next week is going to be about us experiencing the Draft.
That the Spring tour's kind of be find.

Speaker 4 (01:25:00):
Us now fair enough, fair enough. I'm just sat it's
behind us.

Speaker 3 (01:25:03):
Yeah, the way the way every team Texas Tech Notre
Dame in Miami treated us when we were there, shout
out everybody's staff. It was so much fun.

Speaker 4 (01:25:10):
It was awesome, and Texas Tech truly set the tone.
Man set the tone, and then but Notre Dame in
Miami they had an opportunity to watch that and try
to outdo them.

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
Coach Pasacia called me, He facetimed me the other day
being like, when you guys gonna come to Clemson'm like,
we tried to come to Clemson. We tried to come
to He's like, who said no. I was like, I
don't think it's not It wasn't a not thing. It
was scheduled, just didn't line up correctly, right. But Pasaca's like,
you guys need to got to hear. I'm like, trust me,
I want the world to see a rich Pisacia speech
in a special teams media.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:39):
I was like, we would love to come to Clemson.
He's like, do you guys do anything for training camp?
I was like, we might. Who knows we can be fun?
Yeah we can. We're available. The problem with training.

Speaker 4 (01:25:47):
Camp is things are just a little more. It's tighter
like spring balls, like OTA's in a lot of ways
where people are having fun. We're growing, but there's not
that sense of urgency to be like we gotta be
like listen, but was were playing a.

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
Month, no doubt, we gotta be ready to go. NFL
could be different from college because no matter what, in college,
like you're always playing the game of recruiting in content
along with the football being played. NFL teams they don't.
They they're into content everything else, but they're not having
to go out there and recruit and show people inside
looks of whatever everything that goes on inside of training camp.
Whereas colleges, you might be more open to it because

(01:26:20):
no matter what, you're trying to show what goes on
at your program to get guys there all the time.

Speaker 4 (01:26:24):
Yeah, the Clemson thing would be awesome for obviously Bisaccia,
but having JP have to make a blog out of
Clemson would be I think internally just a great.

Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
Deal for.

Speaker 4 (01:26:34):
Clemson would be fun too because JP's the blog guy.

Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
Cmson would be fun too because I feel like drawing
a blank on the head coach right now, Devlo Sweeney.
I feel like he's in kind of a pressure situation
going into this year with the whole adapting, il will
fire me fire man? Yeah, yeah, the go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:26:53):
And I think even non Clemson advans are like, you
don't want to fire him? Yeah, think of where you
were before him.

Speaker 3 (01:26:59):
It's fascinating to kind of observe, like Jack was talking
about hype if he has a bad year, the pressure,
the stakes, the anile, the money that goes in, like
people want speed, Like there's just patients get smaller and smaller.
I feel like every year, especially for college now, because
you see programs like in Indiana, We'll see what happens
with Virginia Tech this year to where you can just
flip the script going into the next year if you

(01:27:20):
have the right staff in you build it the right way.
But it's all the building. The right way has to
take place now in the off season because you're not
going to get a leash of a coach being there
for a long time if you don't show some type
of progress.

Speaker 1 (01:27:31):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:27:31):
Yeah, Signetti really ruined it for a lot of schools. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:27:35):
Could you also imagine a video of Willie see racing
Dabo down the hill into the stadium.

Speaker 3 (01:27:41):
I mean little back slips, I fall down, tumble down
the restaurant.

Speaker 4 (01:27:44):
I don't know how guys will fall down all the
time on that damn hill. Oh bro Well, every time
I watch, I'm like, oh, niece, yeah, every single time.
This weekend I went to Vegas. My family will flew
out Wednesday. I went out Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:27:56):
Great weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
It's not about my weekend. Shane Gillis at a show
at Bridgetone Arena. He was on that that that podcast
will come out next He.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Only had a show at Bridgetone because he was coming
on Busting with the Boys, Right, so how.

Speaker 4 (01:28:07):
Can we schedule? Yeah, you want to do two for
one boys bridge down Exactly. A lot of things happening
that Shane Gilli's podcast. We can break down next week
on the intro. But I see here Shane Gillis Green
Room featuring Bust One Busting Boys.

Speaker 1 (01:28:20):
What took? What did you go?

Speaker 3 (01:28:21):
What was the story? I did not go?

Speaker 4 (01:28:22):
Okay, I got that was gonna be my first question.

Speaker 3 (01:28:24):
Didn't make it. Pizza Friday, Pizza Friday, Pizza Friday, bedtime.
By the time I would have went, I would have
probably gotten there the time Shane went on stage, because
you know, the day before when we were hanging out,
He's like, I'd love for you to show up at
eight because then you can hang you can kind of
bust balls, you can hang out for a little bit, right, So,
knowing that I was just gonna watch Shane perform and
not get to see him really because once he would
have been done, I would have got back home to
get the sleepy time.

Speaker 4 (01:28:44):
And yeah, your team, you gotta get the disciplines, routines
all that I saw this morning on the you're walking
on the treadmill. Yeah, will Willy C's doing this, yeah
popatine fit like we are treading Yeah, yes, like it's
I've had a couple of conversations with myself and they
weren't pretty like, they weren't so I to kind of
get after myself. Hey, and I love that for you
because I don't want to say anything. You know, you're

(01:29:06):
happy you're having those conversations. Yeah, yeah, those conversations been
at green room.

Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
What happened?

Speaker 4 (01:29:10):
What took place? Beman, I was not there, Okay, so
nobody was at the show.

Speaker 10 (01:29:15):
Shout shout out to Shane and great. I think it's Grace, right,
Grace setting the boys up. It was so much fun.
We had our own little like the Boys green room. Basically,
the show was amazing. Shane crushed truly incredible performance, and
then uh, we all just kind of hung out and
had fun and talked a little ball. Shane, I feel
like it was a good time. It was just it
was vibes, great vibes. So what happened with the young guy?

Speaker 3 (01:29:38):
What happened? So why is it on?

Speaker 11 (01:29:39):
The Clump was living dude? Clump was living, living Clump.

Speaker 3 (01:29:46):
Chef's not on here but on on for the dads.

Speaker 10 (01:29:51):
Chef did make a comment that he's been kind of
bodying me lately, which he has been whenever I try
to pick on him. Chef's been crushing me. He takes
the high road, almost makes me feel bad sometimes when
I try to trying to troll him. So I found
a little opportunity. Shane Gillison, I bodied is probably a
little bit of an overkill. But Shane just started getting
on Chef about Tennessee versus Notre Dame type things, and

(01:30:12):
Chef was in a blender.

Speaker 7 (01:30:14):
As Shane just wouldn't let him talk.

Speaker 3 (01:30:16):
Was fitt It was.

Speaker 10 (01:30:17):
It was incredible and it was great and I walked
away and I was like, hey, couldn't take the high
road there, Chef.

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
It felt good. Shane, Shane's just he's great.

Speaker 1 (01:30:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
I was just behind shangu Yeah yeah, yeah. I was
just backing the way he was your sword? What he
was your sword? How was he swinging the sword against Tennessee?

Speaker 10 (01:30:36):
Basically just calling Chef an SEC homer that he only
cares about the SEC's like you celebrate Auburn wins. I'm sure,
just like just really, and Chef was getting no, it's
Tennessee only He's like, Notre Dame's got an easy schedule
they're going through. They were in like twenty thirteen Notre
Dame arguing their schedule with each other.

Speaker 1 (01:30:53):
It was It was great.

Speaker 5 (01:30:54):
Imagine sweet Chef just walking like he's getting to go backstage,
high profile, and his boss hires the number one ship
talker of all time to go sick his ass, and
Cheff's have to stand there going toe to toe with
Shane Gillis. I wish I had been there to see it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:12):
Jeff did great though, he was hilarious.

Speaker 10 (01:31:14):
It was so fun, just one of those times hanging
out and I was gonna give you a shout out.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
I will.

Speaker 10 (01:31:20):
But Matt Malone, there's something about him as he's speaking,
he just commands the room. He was he was, he
was a character that night. That's a really nice compliment.
And he was just holding court. We're all just sitting
like Matt's telling stories, and I just kind of like
zoomed out, like, look at this young cat and all
these people around just holding court talking.

Speaker 3 (01:31:37):
The young bull. It was awesome. Learning's Hey, I love that, Maddie.

Speaker 5 (01:31:41):
That's a fantastic compient.

Speaker 3 (01:31:42):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (01:31:43):
They're a litt uncomfortable, aren't you. I got a compliment. Yeah,
he got a compliment. I appreciate it. But also, well,
it's good. So I guess this note for Shane Gillis
screen room was it went well?

Speaker 3 (01:31:55):
Boys said fun? I love it, dude. Should we get
some tear talk? Do some tears tomorrow? Crystal Ball a
little bit of tear talk?

Speaker 9 (01:32:04):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:32:06):
Kyler Riley nine to two zero says hashtag tear talk,
Spring tour gear giveaways, question mark, question mark.

Speaker 3 (01:32:14):
He brings up a good point. Yeah, when we got
home at the end of last week, like the amount
of bags I just had sitting on my couch from
Texas Tech Notre Dame in Miami, Like, it's so much
gear right to where what we just we packaged some
of these teams.

Speaker 7 (01:32:28):
And I will say some of the guys that don't
travel would like some of that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
Stuff as well.

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
Oh oh, okay, you're the audience, you're the boys, You're
you're the back of the bus. You're in the back
of the bus.

Speaker 9 (01:32:37):
Cooop has said, like, I just want somebody to bring
me home a shirt, just once. I don't even care
where it is. I just want a singular shirt from somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:32:45):
Okay, all right, not for.

Speaker 10 (01:32:47):
Next year's teams, because they all just started copying Texas Tech.
The bags laid out, everyone's names written, became the norm
for everywhere we went. They just wanted to all do
the same kind of thing for everyone.

Speaker 4 (01:32:56):
Okay, So do we want to address giving fans stuff first,
guys in the back of the bus or bo do
we want to address it? Here's my thought, Like, I
agree with everything you said.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
There's so much gear.

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
When I look at a lot of it, like the
perfect Michigan Notre Dame, like there is a rivalry in that, Like,
am I going to wear a lot of this Notre
Dame gear. The answer is probably not. Actually almost wore
the shoes today because those shoes do kind.

Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
Of got shoes. I will wear the shoes.

Speaker 4 (01:33:22):
But when I look at it's like this was a
gift and the words of it's fun. The painting was
a gift. Hod I've been taking it with me like
I will.

Speaker 3 (01:33:29):
I don't see.

Speaker 4 (01:33:30):
I don't see from like a moral standpoint, being like,
thank you for the stuff. Let me give this away
to people.

Speaker 3 (01:33:34):
Now, let me say, hey, comment, retweet makes your phone.
I'm gonna give away this Notre Dame double bag, right,
And it's like I'm gonna keep the ones that I want.

Speaker 4 (01:33:43):
But exactly I think, I think Kevin, I think of Kevin. Yeah,
I think of Kevin, and Kevin's like, wow, I really
like let these guys have all this stuff. They did
press me really hard for the jersey and I have
I got to give them the jersey. But it's like,
now I've given you stuff, and you're gonna go on
the internet and give away our.

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
Stuff that we gave you. Fair point.

Speaker 4 (01:34:03):
That's a clean, clean, clean take clean like presence, man,
you get one. It might not be the present you
exactly want, but it still gives someone thought about you
enough to give you something like you should take pride
in having those things clean.

Speaker 3 (01:34:14):
Take great question by Kyle Riley.

Speaker 9 (01:34:16):
There, we talked about it before we h A couple
of us were like cleaning out like our old merch
section and we just have a fat table of a
whole bunch of just random stuff. Brings up a point
again of having maybe a bust and garage.

Speaker 4 (01:34:28):
Show clean take clean take.

Speaker 3 (01:34:32):
A lot of logistics and ship that goes into that.

Speaker 4 (01:34:33):
But I feel a year like Texas Tech, Notre Dame Miami.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
I need a year.

Speaker 4 (01:34:38):
I need a new spring year to take place before
I even think about like, oh do I want to
give some of this Miami stuff with this Notre Dame
stuff Tech Tech, Like the gift is so fresh, and
I feel like, like Joey maguire clean. He's on the
internet quite a bit. He's gonna see me being like
who wants this Texas deck Jersey garage sale and be like, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
What are we doing?

Speaker 13 (01:34:56):
Oh well, yeah, I think Mitch is talking about the
old old step Yeah brain keeping this same subject line,
all of the old stuff that we haven't and maybe
next year if you're no longer want any of the
stuff that you got.

Speaker 1 (01:35:09):
From some of the schools. You went to do it again.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
No longer want but re up. Yes, yeah, Kevin, shoot
us a bag. Yeah you can see Kevin the Freeman line. Yeah,
we need the Freeman line.

Speaker 5 (01:35:22):
Now that this has been said loud, Kevin would probably
hear this and go, oh, you know what, next time,
I'm gonna have a giveaway for their fans little bag
so they can.

Speaker 3 (01:35:33):
Because Kevin scouts, he self scouts. He did. He did
text me and thank you guys for the shout out
on the last night. Yeah up, yeah, next day, I'm
taking my morning too. And I got the shoes on him,
just like love the shoes. Yeah, Like we're hanging with
Kevin's all time, dude, Kevin's Kevin needs to come to
the bus and he's making a trip to Naturville. He
will be.

Speaker 4 (01:35:52):
Kevin's got an open invite to always come to the bus.
He's gonna come in here and be like, what the fuck.

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
Set up?

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
We can't wait to hit the group chat after we
film this. Hey, we talked about you a lot again.

Speaker 4 (01:36:05):
I almost don't want to hit it up because I
just want to see how much he really is in
the weeds and Bust with the Boys now fair?

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
Yeah, fair, and see if we get a text tomorrow.
Yeah yeah, what we needed.

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
What we should be thinking about is not giving away
the stuff we got. It's how do we give back
to the schools we went to.

Speaker 3 (01:36:22):
That's the that's a clean take. That's a clean take.

Speaker 4 (01:36:25):
How do we get Busting with the boys merged to
these locker rooms for these guys fun box, put it
on all their locker locker or something for them to
display they have something that's in the like Texas Tech,
how do we do a deal with Texas Tech to
give them bust with the licensing deal?

Speaker 3 (01:36:41):
Notre dame? How do we do it with them?

Speaker 6 (01:36:42):
Miam?

Speaker 3 (01:36:43):
I know you you're probably already on it, on it
with all three of them on it that that would
be sick. That's a great idea.

Speaker 4 (01:36:51):
That's you know what's not a great idea.

Speaker 3 (01:36:52):
It's a clean take. It's a clean.

Speaker 1 (01:36:55):
Play.

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
Hey, shout out, hang on. We are getting away from
this audience. Remember that's like, hey, spring toward giveaways for
the audience. We should also think of, like how you
we give how do we do something, whether it's a
box or something that we could feature or send to
a fan. Yeah, I know that. It's like a curated
Busting with the Boys box.

Speaker 4 (01:37:12):
The perfect platform might be ripping at seven pm on Sundays.
Perfect platform might be for that. That is the area
when we give away we have options options. How do
we integrate all of busting with the boys and give
it to the fans, whether it before the dads, the
walker room, busting, ripping with the Boys, whatever, inside the buss,
sickle fans for inside the bus, inside the bus.

Speaker 3 (01:37:34):
So there's just a like a U sock that's signed
by all the boys in the back of the bus. There,
you know. I agree? So you talk here from a
D two College Football spotlight D two FB spotlight on
x hey at underscore, Will Compton, what is your connection
to NSU Wolves, underscore football hashtag D two football hashtag

(01:37:57):
to your talk? Great question my connection and is just
the boys?

Speaker 1 (01:38:01):
Was it you?

Speaker 3 (01:38:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:38:02):
I think they reached out to me. Was that correct?

Speaker 6 (01:38:04):
Sherm?

Speaker 4 (01:38:05):
This is a long time this is this is like
six months ago, so my brain's not fully going to
register how this all happened. But this D two football team,
they were doing some dope like reveals on their uniforms
and all that, and they had two gritty, high effort guys.
Do a dear Maria count me in remake with the

(01:38:26):
shoe and the whole thing. And I like posted on
my story like this is bad.

Speaker 3 (01:38:30):
I shout it out.

Speaker 4 (01:38:31):
They DM me and are like, we would love for
you guys to do a giveaway for us. Maybe you
remake the video we're releasing these black helmets, these black uniforms.
My first thought was, I love the idea. I'm not
gonna make this happen. Send it to Sherm Sharam gets
it done. We make that video for them. But I
think we're Wolves fans for life.

Speaker 5 (01:38:53):
Oh hey, Matt, Northern State.

Speaker 4 (01:38:56):
I don't know who's hotter right now, matter Mitch, they're
both on two. Heater is taking place right now, the
Northern State Wolves, the Northern State Wolves Dogs. We got
to hear Christopher Dawes at c T. Dows at Busting
with the Boys. If you had to visit three group
of five schools during the spring tour, where would you go?
Hashtag tear hawk tier talk Perhaps at Coastal Football.

Speaker 3 (01:39:21):
Coasty Coastal football would be fun. Jmu, I think is
a no brainer.

Speaker 4 (01:39:25):
I think Jamie is a no brainer. With North Lane,
North Texas, Toulane, North Texas. I kinda that's kind of
my bag of G five schools.

Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
Yeah, you want to go to the you want to
go to the ones that have earned the spot in
college football playoffs, the spot there in college football.

Speaker 4 (01:39:39):
Let me sit in the judgment zone of I've said
all these things with the G five schools. Go ahead
and tear me down.

Speaker 3 (01:39:43):
Yeah, let's talk with the head coaches. Say hey, you
guys should have your own G five playoff, right, yeah,
coach do yeah, Army, Army, Navy, Army Navy. Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:39:51):
Support stupid move, not even.

Speaker 3 (01:39:57):
To be the stupid move, double stupid move.

Speaker 4 (01:39:59):
I didn't know the they were G five schools.

Speaker 3 (01:40:01):
Fair clean take. With that clean tape, I'm thinking this
is not that these guys are perennial, right.

Speaker 4 (01:40:07):
I love the idea of a small table, two microphones
and a round table of chairs, and I just say
something nasty about G five schools and the first one
to run up gets to bait me on it. Kind
of an original thought, Yeah you believe that, Yeah, kind
of an original thought of content we could do. And
I just stand on you guys, just aren't good enough.

Speaker 3 (01:40:24):
Army and Navy. I just you gotta have speeches from
the strength coaches addressing the room. All right, great question
there by Christopher Dawes C. T. DAWs on X. We
got another one hear from Dan Jenkins, our final one
before we get into Mario crystal Ball tolerance on locker
room beers hashtag tier talk. What does he mean? They're like,

(01:40:45):
what's our tolerance? Love, like if we drank like a rack.

Speaker 4 (01:40:48):
Or the amount of beers, just like, hey, can beers
be in the locker room? I think the answer to
both questions are the same, and it's tolerance is high.

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
Let it happen. But if we're given in side, He's like, hey,
what is the tolerance of beers? Like in the locker room,
you don't really see beers unless the seasons ended. Like
we going for trash back day, final meeting day, you'll
have some beers. You'll have the bud lights of all
that stuff kind of sitting around to where boys are
kind of just kicking back, and hey.

Speaker 4 (01:41:13):
The time you're gonna find beers around a football team
is going to be away games. Coming home from the game. Yep,
that's where you see it on the airplane, guys, get
it now that I know. There was a little bit
of a scuff up with the Titans a few years
ago in a situation with the beers where the NFL
really cracked down on it. But before that, beers were
always on there.

Speaker 3 (01:41:30):
Yeah, Darren Base is telling the story. You had some
vitamins on them plane as well, back from London. Absolutely,
and so that's where those things take place.

Speaker 4 (01:41:38):
I think it was high now. Actually the answer is
I think it's a little lower now of beers being
allowed in the facility.

Speaker 3 (01:41:43):
Boys are down to crack a col Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:41:45):
A couple of beers. Also, locker room beers might be
a top five beer.

Speaker 3 (01:41:50):
The boys are down the cracks. That's a clue. That's
also a quote graphic. Okay, there's two separate conversations.

Speaker 1 (01:41:56):
But you like that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:57):
Take like your take, like theirs. I didn't hear their Yeah,
double clean, take double. And what Dan is learning is
this is what happens when you get beers in the
locker room with the boys. You get bustled with the boys. Yeah,
exactly exactly taking place right now. Hey, good good trow

Let's get in to Mario Christaball. Yeah, Coach Heather seems

(01:44:57):
like a brilliant psychopath. This is kind of the words
I've gotten to and in the best way possible. Like
I was sitting in the defensive room and then the
backers room, but sitting in the defensive room. The intensity
overall around this entire place, it's very intense, Like I
know why, Like walking in and coming around, there's like
a that healthy intimidating factor of like these guys. It's

(01:45:19):
it feels like killer be killed in the intensity with
the coaches and in a way to where coach otherman,
he's commanding the entire room. They're going over stuff defensively.
You hear the entire room everybody kind of communicating and
talking out loud, where sometimes you'll sit in rooms and
guy players will be a little hesitant because maybe they're
unsure or maybe they're not confident where coaches are trying
to get him to speak up. But from the jump

(01:45:40):
it's like first row, second row, third row, like guys
are communicating the whole time. And then even in the
linebacker room when again he's got this bravado about him
of intensity, and then guys might not be doing something
right to where in my mind I'm thinking all man,
coach might be about to get in his ass for
not paying attention or not saying the right thing. But
then he gets to a level of like teaching the
guys in like having a conversation with them or why

(01:46:02):
they do X, Y and Z versus harping on maybe
a false step or maybe I'm sure those things come,
but I don't know. I was fascinated by his approach
and just kind of the command he had of everybody,
and it felt like very much like a player led
ran room, if that makes sense, And.

Speaker 1 (01:46:16):
That's kind of my observation, Well, it was. It was
important to how you guys sit in in those rooms, respectively,
our defensive coordinator and our offensive line coach, because like
the other guys you saw Jason out there as well,
we really feel they're they are elite teachers as well
as elite human beings, and their progressions are legitimately challenging.
But when you the more you get them down, the
confidence that comes with that, you know, it's you witness

(01:46:40):
a meeting that all that talking loudly with confidence permeates
the room and it changes the mentality. It allows guys
to play fast and free. So his entire goal, as
it is for our entire program, is to earn the
right to cut it the blank loose, you know what
I mean, Yeah, when the lights are on or whenever
the is placed on the tee, and you got to

(01:47:01):
earn that and we feel that there's there's been so
many greats that have come through here and have done
it on a green Tree practice field. We have to
earn that right every day.

Speaker 4 (01:47:10):
So you know, a lot of coaches, a lot of
a lot of programs they preach like avoid distractions, avoid
like chaos, like let's just he let's be solely focused
on this goal. Right here, We've been to a handful
of places, and like walking into the meeting rooms, you
see how intentional everybody is, how the coach is talking
about steps and fundamentals, where you see the teaching process happen.
And then you walk up to practice. There's a bunch

(01:47:32):
of people on the sidelines. I don't know if it's
it's parents, it's recruits five star, but there's a lot
to look at in a lot of ways, a lot
of alumni. Then music starts. Coach irb he's on the
microphone going off on guys. People are screaming and yelling everywhere.
Then you guys are sprinting right to individual drill where
guys are getting their asshooes. And I mean this in
a massive compliment to where it's like it's very old school,

(01:47:55):
but like I can't imagine being a freshman like a
Jackson can't well walking into this for the first time.

Speaker 3 (01:48:00):
I'm sure this like his eighth practice or from practice.

Speaker 4 (01:48:02):
From Missouri right BF Missouri. I think he said there's
four things that came out of their cigarettes beer. Jason
born himself, by the way, Yeah, Nixon Missouri. Oh Jack,
he gave us the spiel. He had the whole elevator
picture of this on Nixon Missouri. But like, it's there's
a level of having distractions intentionally so that when the
chaos is taking place on the big stage, everyone is

(01:48:24):
like in a in a calm state because it's it
feels erratic a little bit. The first ten minutes. It's
like kind of feel like, oh, I'm like crazy stimulations,
yeah the way like you you feel like because you're
not used to it. But then you start to see like, oh,
these offens alignment. They're unphased by how they're being talked to,
they're unphased about the work ethic that they're putting in.

Speaker 3 (01:48:45):
They're running. They know exactly where to go. Next year,
old next drill. How long did it take you to
instill this old school intentional Like, this is the process
we're going to go about in the springtime.

Speaker 1 (01:48:55):
Well, I think we're still in the process of establishing that.
And you know, I've been I've been lucky to have
played for some really good coaches all the way dating
back to high school. Who I still think is the
best coach I've ever had, Dennis Level and then working
for coach Saban, playing for coach Johnson, coach Ericson, working
for Greg Shehano. These guys are all they're elite teachers.
And along the way, the thing that stuck most was

(01:49:18):
the best thing that you can do as a football
coach is to conduct elite practices. Conduct elite practices. In
other words, if it happens in a game, it deserves
a drill, whether it be in the form of indie,
whether it be in the form of two on two,
five on four, seven on seven, and that has to
carry over to elite meetings and elite walkthroughs. Right and

(01:49:39):
in a world where right this has become the day
and age of the portal and older teams having a
lot of success, we'd like to think that we could
take spring ball and have these guys gain a year
of maturity by the way that we practice by presenting
these intense, high paced, challenging, adverse situation practices that really

(01:50:02):
test them and we're going to take them to the edge.
We are, but to the edge. In terms two, we
want to get to a breakthrough as opposed to a breakdown.
We don't let guys, you know, we want to push
them right there, see what that threshold is. We won't
find a way to break through. And the response has
been awesome. Everybody we recruit, we bring to practice, they
have to watch us practice, and if they are all

(01:50:24):
about it, if they love the way we probably they
want to be part of it. Then it works. And
you know, for for the most part, guys happened sometimes
you know, it's not for everybody, and we don't judge,
and we're not offended. We just we just believe in
this blueprint and we're going to stick with it.

Speaker 4 (01:50:37):
Have you been in a situation with a recruit, maybe
as a four or five star type guy, you're fired
up on him, you bringing to practice and hits you
with like you guys were pretty hard.

Speaker 1 (01:50:46):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (01:50:46):
You can just tell he's like, oh, this kid might
not be about the things we're about. Where you truly
pulled back. Has that ever happened to you.

Speaker 1 (01:50:52):
Yeah, it's happened once or twice, you know, where there
was maybe too much attention to the phone, or you know,
for example, we meet relatively early, not so early now
in spring, but and the same guy was late. It
wasn't really into the meeting. I mean, come on, man,
I mean, I know you're assessing the University of Miami.

(01:51:14):
We're also assessing you, right right. It's an interview, a
two way interview. So but for the most part, we've
been very fortunate, very for to have targeted some high
like high mentality, high achieving mindset type of guys that
they love it, they're all into it and they know that. Man,
we have one goal make them as good as they
could possibly be. And there's no kind and cuddly way

(01:51:35):
to get there. Right, Yeah, we got a roll.

Speaker 3 (01:51:37):
So yeah, how do you identify a recruit that is
like this high level mentality? Like I'm sure there's like
a philosophy or maybe some core things like you and
the staff like look for, but what are some onion
the layers you try and peel back on the onion
of figuring out if this is a high level mentality guy.
Is there a question? Is there is there something that

(01:51:59):
you're like the rest of the process.

Speaker 1 (01:52:01):
Yeah, there's questions, but it's more putting our eyes on them.
I mean, we go and we watch every ounce of
tape that we can here, and then we go and
watch every ounce of practice workouts, you name it, we
go see it. And you know, there used to be
a time we could get guys in camp, right. I
remember Pool we had Pina soool at Oregon. I thought
it was there was the ultimate recruiting process. It's it
was like a car wash. They had all the different
schools waiting in line to work with the prospects. Man,

(01:52:24):
I'm watching this guy go from stop to stop to
stop and they're just kissing his butt and I'm looking
over at coach merbat Alex and like, when he gets here,
we are going to grind his butt. Man, we are
going to work bump doubles, double unders, right, ripping reads
and all that kind of stuff. And he comes over
and we are trying to wear him out and he's
just launching human beings all over the place. And we

(01:52:47):
always think back to it's like that's what that's the
DNA that that we're looking for, and it's hard to find.
It's not for everybody. And again we don't judge along
the way, and you also have to project there's some
guys that haven't been exposed to that. So there are
there is a little bit of a you know, a
risk factor and a gamble, you know, rolling the dice
on a guy that you think can but just hasn't
been exposed to it, and you know you cuertainly do

(01:53:08):
your best buy it?

Speaker 3 (01:53:09):
How do you try and figure out the DNA off
the field or outside of the tape that you do see,
Like whether it's like going to high schools, Like if
recruits out there like listening to this right now, yeah,
knowing that they're also getting interviewed, Like how do you
figure out that DNA you think you see on film?

Speaker 1 (01:53:25):
Like wherever they live? Film doesn't lie, man, you know?
And who are they hanging out with? And at the
end of the day, do you really love football? Do
you love football? Do you are you the kind of
guy that understands the importance of me? And look at
this place. It's a private school with one hundred thousand
dollars a year education. I mean, your diploma here is
going to take you even farther than your NFL career.

(01:53:46):
So guys that absolutely cannot live without football, but that
understand the importance of a high level diploma, an elite
diploma like the University of Miami, and can be a
good decision maker on and off the field, right choices
and decisions. Brother, that's what it comes down to.

Speaker 4 (01:53:59):
You know, has there ever been a point in your
coaching career, like pre nil era to now post nil
era where you see these kids are just at the
flash of a hat. They're like, yeah, I'm not I
don't like the way I'm being treated. I'm gonna get
out here. Their feelings get hurt, so they end up
just leaving. Did you ever kind of compromise like in
the beginning about listen, I know these guys are a
little different right now. This is this is a new

(01:54:22):
group of kids that are growing up where they're getting
pat on the ass quite a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:54:25):
They're getting a lot of money and taking ten dollars.
All about dollars and how much you're gonna pay me.

Speaker 4 (01:54:30):
Was there ever a point where you're like, I want
this five star guy, but it seems like I need
to like coddle him a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (01:54:36):
You know, we've maybe we've been lucky. It's just we
believe in this. If you have to change the way
that you coach and treat people because you're afraid of
the portal or nil, you shouldn't have been in coaching
to begin with. You know, you were doing things in
a manner that wasn't for the principles and standards that
football was originally, you know, intended for. We believe in that.

(01:54:56):
We have not ever changed the way we coach. We
believe we treat people right way, and we do everything
possible provide them with the resources, the teaching, everything to
make them the absolute best that they can be. And
we're truth tellers, you know, and people that want to
get better they want they want a truth teller. And
we haven't come across that where you know, there's an
issue of that. So at least I don't know. Maybe

(01:55:19):
they left that was part of it, but there's no
you know, Tom Brady said it right or I'm sorry,
Bill Belichick. I think it was to Tom Brady, No
sacred cows, right, Like can you imagine if that existed?
Knowing what comes with this? Because like like I'm people
making money. I'm all about as long as they're responsible,

(01:55:41):
know what to do with it, don't flash it put
all over the place. At I mean, ball is still ball,
And when we come here, I don't coach and player,
I don't care what you make. You're making what you're
either earned, what you settled for negotiate. I don't care.
But when we're in here, I want to hear jack
about money. Yeah, we're gonna to do the Miami Hurricane

(01:56:01):
Way and things that have been done here for a
long long time. And so so far it's work force
really well, and we just got to make sure we
keep getting the right kind of people that believe in that.

Speaker 3 (01:56:10):
Knowing that there's like a high amount of money involved,
knowing that you're playing at a university like the University
of Miami, you get to wear that you on the
side of your helmet, like knowing it's got like this.
Everybody wants to go to the NFL. How do you
help them prioritize how important education is, like holding the standard,
holding the line with academics to keep it just as

(01:56:32):
important as what they came here for in the first place,
was just playing football.

Speaker 1 (01:56:36):
No doubt, the internship programs that we provide here are
off the charts. You know, I'm like, man, where were
they when I was coming out this chance? You know,
so in every field from real estate to business, finance, retail,
sports management, broadcasting, you know, they have opportunities that are
just unbelievable, Like true career path, not just a job opportunity.

(01:56:58):
And so along the way, the amount of opportunities guest speakers,
network opportunities, hands on internships, hands on like service trips.
I mean, we're going to American SAMO. This year, we
went to Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Spain, World. So we
got all over the place, Like we expose these guys

(01:57:18):
to real deal stuff. So we're you know, like growth
is growth is a two way street too, now right.
You gotta want to grow and then you got to
push yourself to experiencing. So we're just kind of relentless.
And this is I guess the best way to describe it.
This is a very vocational kind of thing for us.
Like we love this, you know, I know, you know,
we're kind of boring to the outside world because we

(01:57:40):
grind and we work and whatnot. But I love it, man,
I mean, this is this is about who else would
have given me a chance. I'm a local high school kid,
you know, nobody with you know, two parents that never
really got to speak English till they learned it, and
they spoke like Scarface if you ever saw that movie. Okay, man,
you understand what I was saying. Thing, you know, like yeah, yeah, yeah,
and by by the grace of got us with a

(01:58:00):
great high school coach man and Jimmy Johnson went and
got us and dude, so we're super grateful.

Speaker 3 (01:58:06):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:58:06):
We just work and want to do right by people.
Did get I heard a rumor that was your roommate,
Mike Sullivan. Mike Sullivan was my brother's brothers Russell Maryland. Okay, gotcha,
both those guys.

Speaker 4 (01:58:17):
Solely Mike Sullivan was my assistant offensive line coach of
the Titans. There we go for the whole time I
was there. Great truly the guy legends and he's got
a short fuse too, a short fuse on him because
he's happy, go lucky, jovial type of guy when you're
in the meetings. But there's been once a year he would.

Speaker 3 (01:58:34):
Just go off on me in a crazy way.

Speaker 1 (01:58:36):
To the end.

Speaker 3 (01:58:36):
We had off fighters. Like we go. He's like, yeah,
you stopped sucking.

Speaker 1 (01:58:39):
Around that, you know, great player, great player.

Speaker 4 (01:58:42):
And I found fantastic coach too. Like I came in
the league and like didn't use my hands at all,
and he like preached it over and o. He would
grab me, make me work at it, and my two
hand punches became like the strongest part of my game
because of him, so solely was he was awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:58:57):
Stay in touch with them, Oh yeah, talked to him
all the time. He always comes with a house and
steals my money.

Speaker 1 (01:59:01):
Is that right? Yeah? I got yeah, we had.

Speaker 3 (01:59:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:59:04):
The other one is Robed Chatzinski. He was the other
roommate who ended up being in the NFL for a
long time.

Speaker 3 (01:59:09):
That's awesome, cool.

Speaker 1 (01:59:10):
How do you go ahead?

Speaker 4 (01:59:11):
It's just there's very rare, like very unique schools like
ls US a unique one, Miami's unique one. Uh, there's
there's a handful where it's just like, it's not just
you can't just be a good coach. You have to
also like fit the culture and be a guy that's
from here. How easy of a fit was it for
you to come in here, understand the landscape of everything,
and then bring guys in, whether it's from the Midwest,

(01:59:33):
the Northeast, the West coast and have them I feel like, Hey,
you're gonna come here, it's gonna be more different than
anything else you've ever seen, because Miami is its own
it's his own little country down here.

Speaker 1 (01:59:42):
Yeah. I mean you you saw it, man. We become
in every size, shape, color, ethnicity, language, hairstyle. I mean
we are. We're like the mixed salad bowl man. I mean,
Miami is has got everything and and honestly, growing up
here was absolute best nothing. I can't even imagine grow
up anywhere else. And that was the day and age
of Miami Vice, you know, Sunny Crockett, Ricardo Tubbs, right,

(02:00:05):
and like this brotherhood because I used to sprint over
here every day or grab a grab a ride, ride
my bike to watch those monsters practice. So I talk
about the Jerome Browns, you know, the Danny Stubbs, Alonzo
Heismiths of any Blades and Michael earned these monsters. So
I was dying to be a hurricane, like dying I

(02:00:26):
had to be. I was going to be a hurricane
or die and one or the other. And so like
getting that it was it's a life changer and it's
an experience that I mean, it's why I really came back.
I mean, it wasn't because I was born here, was
because I was part of that brotherhood and it's like
here you could be you. You know, as long as
your mindset is about nothing is going to get in

(02:00:48):
the way of one to zero. And I'm talking about school, football, life,
good choices and decisions, treatment of people. As long as
you're of that mindset, you fit here. And I love
that about Miami. Miami is like as diverse as energetic,
Like I wish you guys could spend time in town
to see how what this season has done for this community.

(02:01:10):
Like it's insanely like lit up, like just galvanize and energize.
And and it's because down here it's about It's about
the Canes, man, you know, and uh, I live and
die by the Orange and gree now, brother, you know,
like uh, and I love seeing we're gonna have four
hundred and fifty to five hundred alumni here next Friday
for the alumni reunion. Probably a scrimmage out here in

(02:01:30):
the damn indoor.

Speaker 3 (02:01:31):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:01:32):
You can imagine when those boys get together what it's like, right,
So it's what is it like?

Speaker 3 (02:01:37):
It is? Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:01:39):
Man, I don't know, it's a you know what, just
the mint I don't just do whatever I can be
me as too, or what I've learned from the guys
I've coached under and go lights out relentless every single day,
demanded of myself first and foremost, so that the coaches
could also demand that of themselves.

Speaker 3 (02:01:58):
What was it like seeing the community come to life
last year when you guys are making your run.

Speaker 1 (02:02:02):
Especially it's like when I'm thirteen years old in eighty three,
watch the black and white TV. You know, Miami beat
Nebraska in the city. You know, the pots of the
pots and pans come out, you know on a street, right,
people go bananas. No, it was you know. And then
there's you know, the positive anger side. We fell short
there at the end, an opportunity and we didn't finish.
Now monster progress. It's great but legitimate. Like you know,

(02:02:26):
I've said it before, like positive anger man, that energy
just you give it a direction, it burns clean. You
set your goals and you go. And that's where the
program is right now. From a mentality standpoint, you know,
let's just go, let's just go get better and go.

Speaker 4 (02:02:40):
How do you you clearly start the season with a
big win against Notre Dame. It's like you watch that
last two minute of that game with CJ. Carr running
for his life and those two dns just absolutely wreaking havoc,
and it's like, oh, Miami clear front runner. They they're
coming out of a sec in all of our minds,
SMU happens and Louisville happens.

Speaker 3 (02:03:00):
How are you addressing the team to get everybody back
on track, because I mean clearly, like you guys had
more talent. You were a better team than both of
those teams. They just stay won that day, and to
keep everybody on the right track to be like, you know,
our destiny is still right in front of us. Have
the mindset.

Speaker 1 (02:03:13):
Well, I do think this nowadays. Everybody has good players
and if you're not at your best, you're gonna get
your ass beat. You are. And then there's a side
of me that says, you know, everybody's saying you shouldn't,
should not have lost, You shouldn't. Well we did, and
we beat these other teams we weren't supposed to be
so well, maybe you guys got it wrong when you
voted these other teams at a certain level, you know

(02:03:34):
what I mean. Yeah, So, but it was a simplicity
of us getting together. It was the best meeting ever
man after SMU, because that's the lowest point ever. And
it was face to face eye to all of us
in here, and it was like, no, it was just
like walking, and you know, walking that was a field rush,
and you're walking back to locker room and you're every

(02:03:55):
step is like what the you're gonna say? What are
you gonna say? You know, knowing that's a long ass
ride home, knowing that the moment they get back, their
phones are going to be obliterated with all kinds of negativity,
right everyone taking shots at them. So we found a
way to you know, gather up and get back here.
And we you know, the next day, we got in
here and it was like, look, we have awesome people,

(02:04:16):
and we have really hard working people that have a
really high care factor, but we ain't getting the result
we want and we're losing in the margins and we
need to understand and realize who the hell we really are.
And we had put together five games worth of cutups
of you know, the football tape, just cut the lights,
no music, no presentation, just cut it and sat here

(02:04:40):
in silence and watched about fifteen minutes of just silence
and watching and watching and watching, and pick the lights
back on. And we made a decision, just one day
at a time, man, our absolute best. I'm going to
be your biggest advocate. You're going to be mine. I'm
your biggest fan, I am your family. We're going to
be each other's family. And we're going to cut out
every everybody else. No one else matters, and nothing else matters.

(02:05:03):
And we're going to do that every day. And if
you see my button getting down, you're going to get
me up, and the vice versa. And it was a
collective effort. And the thing I'm most proud of is
to be a member of this organization. And the way
all the men and women of this organization on a
daily basis said let's go and it with. The practices
were awesome, and it ended up spilling over to game

(02:05:25):
day and I could tell, like after that NC State game,
I'm like, Okay, we're about to get rolling here, and now,
by the grace of God, it did.

Speaker 3 (02:05:33):
Yeah, what was being the five games of cutoffs? Is it?
You with the clicker going through everything?

Speaker 1 (02:05:39):
Now, we made it concise enough so it doesn't have
any dead time, you know what I mean. But it
was a simplicity of you know, we had the splash
plays like this debat of Mesit or Sacks, but also
some of the unbelievable blocks by wide receivers just laying
out so Mark Fletcher could split a defense, you know,
the offensive line taking those piles and running them fifteen
twenty yards. You know, just watching not not the score,

(02:06:05):
but how we play the game. And we took a
lot of pride in building a physical, tough team, and
we practiced in that manner. We lost our edge for
a couple of games in the margins because if you
watched the tape, we did play physical, but not to
the level, not to the extent of what had made us,
you know, get off to that great start.

Speaker 3 (02:06:24):
How where'd you watch the a SEC Championship game?

Speaker 1 (02:06:27):
Where did I watch it?

Speaker 4 (02:06:28):
Yeah, that's a good question because that's that's it, right,
Like you're watching that game, and who would do with
a duke in Duke Virginia Virginia a SEC championship, a
SEC championship And it was essentially like Duke wins that game?
Duke is in or his advice?

Speaker 3 (02:06:43):
Was it? Virginia wins there you wanted like a lot
of like in that. If I can go back to
that time, it was like with Miami getting in everybody
arguing about the head to head, Notre Dame Miami. It
was with championship week coming up. You wanted to see
blowout in the SEC Championship in Big twelve, and you

(02:07:04):
needed Duke to just upset Virginia.

Speaker 1 (02:07:07):
Right because the Duke was what seven and five? Yeah,
I think there were seven and five. They played a
hell of a game and won it, but I never
I never saw it that way. I'm gonna be honest
with you, and the reason being is in twenty twenty four,
we lost at Syracuse in the last game, and there
were a bunch of ten and two teams on a
nine to three team. I felt like that was a
legitimate court case, like, let's all present the facts. It

(02:07:29):
could go one way or the other. But I felt
this year, with a head to head and with other
common opponents, I thought that that had to matter most
and I did in a respectful manner, but I thought
it was a matter of presenting the information, irregardless of
who won that ACC Championship game, a game that's going forward.
The tiebreakers are fixed, but the answers to a five

(02:07:52):
and six way tiebreaker was you know a little bit different.
You know, any other conferences tiebreakers we would have been
playing in that game. But there are no excuses. The
two teams that played deserve to play because that was
the format, and Duke won. In credit to them for
winning end no either way. Selection Sunday, when that thing

(02:08:13):
came out, that was quite a moment. Now big a
big moment.

Speaker 3 (02:08:17):
How was it college? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:08:20):
What was the feeling when the brackets? Because the AP
and then the college football bracket comes out and it's like,
you guys aren't on it, and no, and Notre Dame
is on it, and for the longest time, I'm like,
you guys are just kind of put down, and then
it gets to this, like this head of the AC Championship,
you need the SEC blow.

Speaker 3 (02:08:34):
Mist having them too low or having Notre Dame too
high to where the conversation kept going to where it
had to matter about this when it's like both these
teams are awesome teams because Duke winning gets into two
G five teams. Yeah, but they're obviously there needs to
be fixes in the system because but that mistake was
like having such a separation and it's probably did the

(02:08:55):
College foota playoff come out the week after the the
second loss? You guys have like I'm just assuming this
subjective opinion that goes into why you guys are so separated.

Speaker 4 (02:09:05):
Because they're making a level of an assumption like, oh,
they lost to lowse TCMs, they're probably going to lose again.
I had the same conversation with Notre Dame yesterday. It's like,
they beat you head to head? How does it not
it should have been the way the result was. What
the answer should have been other than the G fives
that you don't have to comments on that. I think
the G five should completely be out of it. But
to have Notre Dame so ahead of you guys, and

(02:09:26):
then them realizing that they're making the mistake over and
over again, you're seeing that at first you have to
be a little at like uneasy about like how are
we in this position?

Speaker 1 (02:09:34):
The only thing I always felt good about it always
said best and most deserving, you know, and if they
played out the facts and the criteria was taken into account,
like it said that it was going to work out
in our favor as long as we kept winning at
a high level, as long as we kept dominating opponents,
and those final you know whatever. It was four games.
I think we were on the road for almost seven

(02:09:55):
straight weeks where you know, we played we played our
best football, like legitimate domin in football and Carson Beck
was playing out of his mind. So we felt really
really good about it. And I think it showed, you know,
during the playoffs that we deserve I.

Speaker 3 (02:10:07):
Was gonna say, you guys made all of that irrelevantly,
made it to the championship.

Speaker 1 (02:10:12):
Yeah, it's just it's an imperfect process. I don't think
anyone's trying to, you know, screw over anybody, but you know,
in this particular case, yeah, I felt strongly that we
deserve to be in there, and our players deserved that opportunity.

Speaker 3 (02:10:23):
If you guys didn't make the playoff, w what you've
done in the bowl game?

Speaker 1 (02:10:26):
We always was this one of these trick questions or
something like that. It's, uh, you know, we don't. We've
always played in the bowl games, whatever bowl game that
we've gone to. So we would have played in the
bowl game. And that's our process. Yeah, And I don't
think that anyone should ever We don't judge anybody, So
I don't think anyone should ever judge us one way
or the other. But yeah, we would play in the

(02:10:47):
bowl game because that's what you're supposed to do.

Speaker 3 (02:10:50):
Thoughts on the current like football calendar, everybody's got a
lot of strong opinions on how the football calendar needs
to We need to make it just it's with the
football could so that way, it's not to where you
guys now the national chips you gamed this next year
is what a week later than it was this past year.

Speaker 1 (02:11:07):
I like football, man, I'd play year round, you know,
but I know we can't do that. We just got
to start earlier. So we get to end a little
bit earlier so the portal makes sense, and then we
get on the road. I'm not in favor of all this,
Like junior recruiting, like in January. I think that's brutal,
you know, I mean I can't even get in January. Yeah,
where you gotta have contacts at the school. You know,
they're still not a senior. They're going to be senior

(02:11:28):
as a following. That's a total And it's been now
in effect for two years a couple or three years.
But like, I can't even get in a home now.
That used to be like the thing, right, the head
coach goes into the home, you finish it off. You
got to meet the families from Like I can't even
do that now. So and then the teams. The further
you play into it, the more of a disadvantage you're
at as well. So it's almost like Nfellish, right, the

(02:11:49):
more you win, the lower you pick, the lower you draft. Yeah,
it kind of plays in a sideways kind of way
into that format. But the calendar's got to change because
right now it's it's pretty messy.

Speaker 3 (02:11:59):
Yeah, I don't know why we don't do away.

Speaker 4 (02:12:02):
I know why it's the money, but like conference championship games,
just do it like they do in the NFL, where
it's like you have your tie breakers, but the best
record you guys are a SEC champs. Now, okay, congratulations,
you get a bye week going into this game, and
then right after winn conference championships would be that would
be your bye week, and then you're in the playoffs
all through December. We're in National championships taking place that
first week of January. Portal opens up right after the

(02:12:23):
National championship.

Speaker 3 (02:12:24):
Coach, I don't know if you're listening, but we got
to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (02:12:26):
Yeah, I mean that was that kind of nice, right,
I mean, you get this right here. Yeah, make sure
you guys got a copyright.

Speaker 4 (02:12:35):
Did you hear any flaws there, man, nobody watches the show.
You can say whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (02:12:44):
Yeah, no, you guys are it's well thought out. It's
just this is what I know. Look, excuse me, is
that every year we change the calendar without really thinking
it through, so then we end up changing something else
the next year. It's been a relentlessne just NonStop adaptation
year after year. So that sounds like it has a chance.

(02:13:06):
You know, you like it. I do like it.

Speaker 3 (02:13:08):
What was the pate?

Speaker 4 (02:13:10):
But you brought this up to me that somebody about
bowl games because that's where the money is, right, these
bowl games, and see they make a lot there, so
that's why they're.

Speaker 3 (02:13:16):
Coach Coach McGuire. Coach McGuire or last week was talking
about having was it Bowl weekend? The first yeah, first
bunch of the.

Speaker 4 (02:13:26):
Clemson and Georgia they'll play in Atlanta. These teams are
playing neutral sites. So you just have you have your
Gator Bowl or whatever that bowls. Now you have those
those games on the week one neutral, have them go
play there. Everybody makes their money. And now in the
season you don't like that, tell me, why, no, it's.

Speaker 1 (02:13:43):
A I mean, it's like it feels like a preseason format.

Speaker 3 (02:13:45):
Yeah that was dumb.

Speaker 1 (02:13:48):
Play. What the last year's team earns? You know? Yeah,
I don't know. I can't buy that one right now?

Speaker 3 (02:13:52):
Okay, fair enough, but we like the other thing pretty good.

Speaker 1 (02:13:55):
I don't have to see it on paper. I got
to see it all right down. Yeah, right to change
his mind. The whole lineman usually have, you know, pretty
good perspective of the way things the way life should be.
So you know, thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:14:08):
Yeah, I would you for life, But would you love
to put your paws on on this specimen over here
as a young recruit.

Speaker 1 (02:14:15):
This guy, look, I can have you by what time
is it now? Twelve forty? By three thirty? I can
have you a fake I d juang luis me this
eighteen year old senior from a local high school. Brother,
we could start this thing all over. Get an one
heck of an nil deal, all right? You know, you
get you with coach V to the little functional strength

(02:14:35):
assessment and make sure all the tires you also have
your tread on.

Speaker 4 (02:14:38):
Tires are not great. I'll be honest, there's one tire
that's not doing too well for a year out of Hey,
I'll get you. I'll get you a damn good year,
and I don't want to gain weight. I kind of
like where I'm at right now. Let me just put
a tight end eligible number on and I'll be your
blocking tight end and old swear to go.

Speaker 1 (02:14:52):
Those are the creatures we try to recruit now, I mean,
that's that's exactly what you want up front, now, you know, Yeah,
powerful athletic dudes that can flat out you guys. Big boys,
got some big boys, got big athletic you know what.
They all can run for the most part, they all
can run. One guy's getting a little bit better, getting
his weight under control, but for the most part, they
can get after it. And you saw coach mer Ball.
I mean that guy is he's a creature coach.

Speaker 4 (02:15:14):
You know you've you've used the word relentless. His coaching
style is clearly relentless on those guys twenty four seventy.
They just he owns the room when he walks in.
You see the stature, His heart's ten times bigger than
the stature because the guys respect and love him a lot.
You got a kid, a freshman kid from Ohio that
placed in wrestling. He got the number one, You had

(02:15:35):
the number one overall prospect and a guy that's starting
with at the ones with you right now? What are
you seeing from those two individuals from a freshman standpoint?

Speaker 1 (02:15:42):
Just fearless, you know, and there's sponges like they are
like then, not exactly an assembly required type of toy.
They require some but their instant fixes, you know, they
can coming back to the huddle. They're kind of there
to the point out where they realize, all right, you
know I'm understep that, or I didn't open my hips enough,
I didn't get my hat across, or you know, I

(02:16:03):
didn't get my fist to the stern. I'm like, they
are speaking the language like every great culture has their
own language, right, like every great position group like they
speak a certain language. They're speaking the language. It's just
rolling out of their mouths and they are applying it. Now.
You know, we got to get in the bend at
the knees more and get their heels in the ground
for more balanced and power. But those guys, they they
get it, and you talk to them today, you know

(02:16:24):
how they want to get more confident with their hands, right,
but they're you know day one or day three, third down,
you know, was a nightmare for them. Right, not understanding
their set lines, the twists and the suns that come
with it. And now today you saw a good amount
of progress in their game. So it's awesome to be
around those guys. They're going to be great players.

Speaker 4 (02:16:43):
I'll say this, I don't think I've ever seen a
one on one series so lopsided where the offensive line
had had a hell of a day.

Speaker 1 (02:16:50):
It was.

Speaker 3 (02:16:51):
It was awesome to see.

Speaker 1 (02:16:52):
Well.

Speaker 4 (02:16:52):
And then Jackson, clearly he comes in as the number
one overall recruit, but his hands, he understands the angles
of the set and how they should be his hands.
There's a couple of things you can clean up, but
they're in the right place at the end of the
end result of the play. He knows where he's at
as opposed to where the quarterback's at in the pocket.
He understands when games are coming. It seems like when
you guys that did that like crazy Exotic Blitz period,

(02:17:16):
you guys have all these all these calls that he
can hear kind of what's taking place, and you can
see him process it in real time. It's a little
bit slower because it's like, you know, he's don't had
so many reps, but I walked to the camera multiple
times and was like, hey, his kids got all the
tools in the world. I mean they they really do.
A couple of those squatty guards. You were competent on them,
them boys, surprise surprising them squatty guards. You don't sleep

(02:17:39):
on the squad boys.

Speaker 3 (02:17:41):
Yeah. I hope you all are enjoying the Miami interview.
But real quick, it isn't about.

Speaker 6 (02:17:47):
Us, Nah, It's about the you. You got a long
day and no time to cook. You actually want something
that tastes good.

Speaker 3 (02:17:55):
You want that clean eating feeling without the work.

Speaker 6 (02:17:57):
That's Kevin's high protein eat ingredients ready to go.

Speaker 3 (02:18:02):
Kevin's Natural Foods has been fueling. It's all spring tour
and it's loaded with protein.

Speaker 6 (02:18:07):
Oh no, no, no, no, we said it wasn't about us.

Speaker 3 (02:18:10):
It's all about the you.

Speaker 6 (02:18:12):
All about the Kevin's Natural Foods.

Speaker 1 (02:18:19):
You know, again, anything you can note up that you see,
it would be good to you know, pick your brain
on some of that stuff because you know, those guys,
as you know, playing with that kind of length, there's
a you know, an acclamation period so to speak, where
you know, understanding the timing and the power that comes
with some of those edge rushers. I mean, Jackson's baptism

(02:18:40):
of fire was going against Bain and Mesdor during the
bull time. You know, he's like, man, where's Nicks? Let
me go home in Yeah, but and from day one
he just he attacked it. And he's he's always always
trying to get better.

Speaker 3 (02:18:53):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:18:53):
He's always asking questions, he's always investing extra time, and
he's learning that, you know what, all that's becoming functional strong,
you know, and learning how to finish his place. So yeah,
Skuy's a limit for those two guys. And you know,
we have a couple other guys that are banged up
right now. I wish you could have seen him. That
are massive human beings. I mean, these guys are eighty
seven inch wingspan one of them. I mean, it's insane.

(02:19:14):
And we're both at three forty three thirty and take
a flat out role. So I think we're getting, you know,
more and more talented as the years go on, and
looking forward to our guys hopefully getting drafted, you know,
in a great place here the next couple of years.

Speaker 3 (02:19:27):
Like you've got to be so proud knowing you've got
old lineman like you do, like getting four guys potentially
drafted talking about the room you guys are talking about
right now, like as an old lion guy, like you
gotta be yeah, trenches.

Speaker 1 (02:19:39):
Now, Coach. Remember and I went to high school together. Man,
forty years. We've known each other for forty years. Really,
I was a freshman. He's like, hey, man, I need
to ride home. I'm like, who the hell are you?
He's like, I'm sure teammates, so can I got to ride?
I'm like sure. Forty years later, man, here we are.
You know, he's uh one of a kind. He's a brother.
You know, I was the best man at his wedding.
My brother had to be the best of mine or

(02:19:59):
he fight me.

Speaker 3 (02:20:00):
Did you give a hell of a speech?

Speaker 1 (02:20:01):
Did I? It was O line related? I mean you
know it was.

Speaker 4 (02:20:06):
Trench warfare. You guys are now in the trenches together,
keep them tight?

Speaker 1 (02:20:11):
Well, I mean we talked about it if like, you know,
we were like manic, like we'd watch eighty six Yesta
Bowl Penn State Miami over and over again because one
of those games where they finally had like close up
shots of combo blocks man blocks. But anyways, we always
swore that if we ever had a chance to coach
who would create like Trench Heaven, you know, O Line,
d Line, just massive human beings. Train him in the

(02:20:31):
way that never make a cookie cookie cutter. Make it
in a way where those bodies are developing differently. The
structure of practice, you know, cater to their development, because
we felt that part of the game was being you know,
kind of ignored a little bit. And so that's what
we're trying to do here at Miami. Make it, you know,
Trench city man, you know, whether the trenches come to
develop at a high level if he loves.

Speaker 3 (02:20:53):
You the way he coaches to be married forever.

Speaker 4 (02:20:58):
In the UH in the transfer portal this past year,
you got Carson back, very unique storyline with him. It
seemed like he was kind of they kicked him out
of Georgia. It was the big question mark was was
Georgia of the issue? Is Carson back the issue for Georgia?
He comes in here, he has a successful season. What
did you see in him? And how did you get
those things out of him that your counterpart from Alabama

(02:21:19):
couldn't get?

Speaker 1 (02:21:20):
Yeah, you know, I I saw twenty three film and
the dude that was just lighting it up at the
highest level, thinking he was probably the best quarterback in
the country in twenty three and then twenty four. I
felt that they were watching tape, that they were different systematically.
I thought his old line had lost a lot, so
he was getting peppered.

Speaker 6 (02:21:36):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:21:36):
He was getting hit from all over the place, and
the receivers led their you know, the country and drops
that year. So it was like the perfect storm of
not good stuff that led to him just getting battered
and bruised. And you know, I trust certain people in
the industry and the people that we spoke to, you know,
they had nothing but unbelievable things to say about him.

(02:21:58):
And then talking to him and getting in that mind
as best we could, We're like, we provide this guy
with the right line, and we do what we do,
which is it's a blend here. You know, we have
the power run game, but we also have you know,
the air raid concepts tied in a play action play
and our screen game is really good, and we're like,
this guy could launch the ball all over the place,
he could get us in the right run game, he

(02:22:19):
could make the right checks it, He'll kill it here
in Miami. And so it went well with our conversations
and next you know Carson becks a hurricane.

Speaker 3 (02:22:27):
How's the relationship with Coach Smart? Obviously there's some some
virality of your guys' clips going around from you both
kind of roasting each other.

Speaker 1 (02:22:34):
I never expected to be in a roast. I went
there totally to hand an award Malec hy TONI and
they informed this is kind of a So I don't
like those kind of things. I'm not liking.

Speaker 3 (02:22:43):
I'll tell you what you did well.

Speaker 1 (02:22:45):
I mean, I had no choice.

Speaker 3 (02:22:46):
You don't like him, but you thought choice did well.

Speaker 1 (02:22:50):
You should have seen the rest of the clips. They
were good, they were better. But I just you know,
I don't I don't like that kind of suff I
really don't. I know, I'm not in a like talking
smack and all that other stuff. But we all worked
together way back at Alabama was quite the room, you know,
very competitive. We all learned a lot from coach statement,
and we all busted our butts for coach because we

(02:23:10):
felt he again gave us a great opportunity. And you know,
I wanted a more exciting answer. Man, I don't have
I don't like anybody, you know what I mean. You
used to want to coach ball.

Speaker 4 (02:23:22):
Yeah, it's all he wants to do. He wants to
coach a little bit of ball.

Speaker 1 (02:23:24):
You want to coach a little bit of ball and
and do right, do right by our dudes, man, like
he this is like their last pit stop. You know
how it is. You've you've done it right a good
like a really really good coach and mentor right. You
remember the bad ones. I remember the ones that I
couldn't stand. Like, dude, you're you're done coaching me. I

(02:23:46):
will do whatever you ask. I respect you. I was
born to be a race, to be a respectful young man.
But like, you're no longer affecting me. That's how I
viewed the bad coaches in that. Man, we have an
opportunity to absolutely change, you know, and not by being
a softy or catering to moods and emotions. That's not it.
That's not That doesn't do anybody any favors. You know,

(02:24:07):
unless you're being a true teller and confronting and demanding
someone's best, you know, you're you're failing these guys, and
you know, I don't know. It's just awesome, man, it's
awesome to be able to get to do this, especially
with these creatures. These guys are awesome.

Speaker 4 (02:24:20):
How do you keep these creatures in South Florida? Like,
there's so much talent comes out of this area. And
with the new nil world, a lot of these guys,
you know, these north these Midwest schools and now Northeast schools,
they kind of they have money to give these guys
and say, hey, come on up here, come come be
fast up here.

Speaker 3 (02:24:39):
How do you sell well them being fast down here?

Speaker 1 (02:24:42):
I think we had to first and foremost rebuild Miami
because I think when we arrived here it's heartbreaking. I
mean I'm watching from across the country and for twenty
plus years, man, twenty plus years, I got to play
here with these You met one of them, You met Vilma.
I was a ga when Vilma was here and was
strying to come back. Oh absolute, just monster. And I

(02:25:02):
played here on two national championship teams, lost the third one.
The worst we finished was like third in the country.
And that's what I always knew Miami as. And then
so when you start coaching, you gotta go away, you know,
you gotta cut your teeth. And but watching from far
away for twenty plus years like absolutely infuriating, you know,

(02:25:23):
to the point where that's it, Like, I've had enough
if this, you know, this is real, that Miami's providing
this opportunity for us. We're going to get our teeth
kicked in early because that roster needs a complete overhaul
and the culture needs a complete overhaul. But we're going
to do this, you know. And uh man, that was
the most difficult professional year of my life at twenty two,

(02:25:48):
that first year here, and we had given up a
team that we had just built into a perennial conference champion,
you know, with some monsters coming and h but it
was all for the right reasons. It was all for
the right reasons. And you know what, it's we're now
attracting the right type of player. And I have no
idea if I answered your question. It kind of went
off on a tangent there, but it's just all these

(02:26:08):
things always led back to to this place and how
we do things, and we want to get the best
players locally we do and we're doing a much better
job of that. You know, the Malachi Tony's and Mark Fletcher's,
Reuben Bains. I mean, we're littered with these guys, but
we're also a national brand and we're going to build
this team in the best way that we possibly can.

Speaker 3 (02:26:28):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:26:29):
So there's not a ton of large human beings in
the state of Florida, but the ones that are here
are awesome. So we go to Nixon, Missouri, right, Yeah,
we go across to Las Vegas, to California. I mean,
we've had guys here from Portland. I mean we've we've
gone all over the country and it's good because this
city has made up from people from all over.

Speaker 3 (02:26:48):
What made that first year so challenging everything like like
the vibe you get today and for people watching, like
definitely check out the vlog. But relentless has been such
a word that's been used. But the relentlessness that is
all over this building, the intensity, just the vibe of
we want to be the best team in the country

(02:27:10):
and we are going to work to get there. And
it's business demeanor. Guys are having fun as well, but
it's very Everything is very intense and intentional. But obviously
that takes time to build. So when you're establishing this
standard like in year one, what were some of the
most challenging parts that made it the hardest year of

(02:27:31):
your professional career.

Speaker 1 (02:27:33):
It's not not having the right people.

Speaker 3 (02:27:38):
How do you identify those because obviously it's like the
kids get it right, But it doesn't just come from
you to the kids. It's you, it's the guys on
your staff, like those lateral moves of getting guys that hey,
you're the one that you're the ones that's going to
be impacting them every day. How hard is it to
like find those guys to know, like, this is a
guy I have to have on my staff, versus probably

(02:28:00):
experiences where you you look back and you're like, Okay,
I can see where I went wrong here, or maybe
it was a certain question I look for now when
I talk to coaches that come in, But how do
you identify those guys that are going to essentially bleed
bleed into the kids what you bleed into them?

Speaker 1 (02:28:15):
Yeah, they have to understand this is a lot of
times a twenty four to seven job, I mean it is.
This is not for people that want to check out
early and go on vacation and just you know, you
can't just put down the phone and say, Okay, I'm
done with work for the day. When you leave the office,
like you're you're dealing with somebody else's son. Times one
twenty right, yeah, so that's that's the thing. And you know,

(02:28:35):
upon arrival, like when we played here, we had an
unbelievable culture, and upon return, the roster was a complete
you know. And I want to say in a way
because I don't like to sound like I'm disrespecting those
that came before. If you wore this year, whether it
was a good year or bad year, you're a hurricane,
so forever hurricane, and I respect that. But it certainly
Miami for twenty years was floundering, you know, minus one

(02:28:59):
or two seasons, and it needed a complete overhaul. And
it starts with the people in the building. And it's
not just player, it's not it's easy to point at players,
that's not it. It's staff. You know, you have to
make moves and bringing people that are all about the
University of Miami first and then everything else after that.
And that's hard because some of the you know, some

(02:29:20):
of the biggest obstacles are inside the building. You know,
it's just as important to eliminate and move on as
it is to acquire. I'm a big fan of that.
So you know, addition by subtraction and uh, you know
that sometimes hurts feelings, and you know, there's misconceptions and
misperceptions out there on how that thing works. But this
is this ain't about tweeting how cool you are, and

(02:29:41):
it's not about you know, like, hey, I you know,
you know what I'm saying, Like I don't have any
bullshit when it comes to this stuff. Man, you've got
to be a real one and and awed to say
that you're actually yeah, yeah, And guys, the reason I
say that and I get about it is because like
this is like a real deal way of life. Like, man,

(02:30:02):
that's the reason we coach is because we had like
real deal mentors that like changed our lives. And if
you're getting hired to come into Miami, that's that's it.
There's no two ways about it. There's no faking it,
there's no like, there's no misunderstandings. Right, that's the way
we're gonna roll, and and that's what we needed, and
that attracts the right type of players, players and players

(02:30:26):
you remember, you guys, you can see right through the
bs of a coach that wasn't all in right. You
could tell, man the details of a practice of the
guy's snapping the ball the wrong way, if he's reading
the script or he's off by one on a consistent
basis if you can't tell you the consistent alignment that
you got to. I mean, so anyways, I went off

(02:30:47):
again on a tangent. You know what I'm saying, real ones.
You gotta have real ones, man, and and Miami. Miami
means the world to me and all the guys that
I played with and and really I'm back here because
I feel that I owe Miami. So we're just rolling
with guys. Have been a very rigorous interview process bringing
in people that we feel that could change things. One
of the latest ones, you know, Baving Upshaw with the

(02:31:08):
Broncos and Mike Viedi, who's a war hero. You know.
I mean, these are like real deal guys that could
really have an impact. So sorry for the lengthy answer.

Speaker 3 (02:31:17):
Listen, we love you can tell it all means right.

Speaker 4 (02:31:21):
There's a lot of coaches they don't have the affiliation
of being here before growing up in the same area.
But for you to like love it as much as
you do, I'm sure that comes across to every single
home you walk into. When it comes to the mother
and father being like, oh, you didn't take care of
my kid. For the next three to five years, so
that that means a lot broad when you when you're yeah,

(02:31:43):
is there some I was gonna ask about the last
season comparated this season? Did you want to ask something
I was just gonna ask I was going to ask too,
like id in uh, Like coaches or people that you
bring in the hire, do you have like a.

Speaker 1 (02:31:52):
Go to question?

Speaker 3 (02:31:54):
Do you have like something that's like you know you're
going to ask it no matter what to help you
there or anything, something that's like if I was a coach,
I'm coming out here, I'm gonna I'm gonna shadow you
for three months because I want to be a next
head coach and we're sitting in there one day and
I finally break down the barriers, maybe we tear up together,
and then I'm just like coach if I'm taking all

(02:32:15):
my notes. Do you have a question that you ask
when I go off on my own journey that I
should keep with me that helps me identify the real
from the bullshit?

Speaker 1 (02:32:23):
Well, I mean, you put these guys on the board,
you make them stand up and demonstrate, you know, whether
it be blocking, running a route, you make them you
make them do what they do as well. So see
if they can actually like hold a room, if their
presence is one that can captivate the audience and have
a command of that audience as well. And then you
start throwing your stuff after to kind of test their

(02:32:45):
their capacity, their aptitude to see, Okay, can this guy
handle new concepts and teach it to the players and whatnot.
And then you want to see them around people, right,
and then you make the goo zilion phone calls you
got to get you got to find someone you trust
that really knows this person to get a valid one.
And then but the questions, man, yeah, we we go
pretty deep. We go at it. I'm not going to

(02:33:05):
say those on here, but you got to find out
if they're willing to do the things that come with
this job. And I think sometimes it's misunderstood all these
guys are in there till two in the morning every night. No,
it's not that you know all the time. It's it's
we do put in some hours. But it's everything is
geared towards helping people, you know, whether it be winning

(02:33:25):
the game, whether it be making sure they do the
right thing. Sometimes you got to hammer them right when
they're not exactly doing what they're supposed to do, and
it's only because if you help them modify that action
or behavior, you know what, they're going to be better
by it. And having the guts as as a coach
to be able to confront and demand the right things
of your players if they're not doing it, because it's

(02:33:49):
going to make them better and then they're going to
be a better teammate. And we're lucky we don't have
a lot of that. And the guys here fall in
line because the older guys they do a great job
with the locker room. So but I think that's really
and I think that was the biggest hurdle upon arriving.
I don't think there was much interest in doing things
a certain way.

Speaker 4 (02:34:08):
Conflict before cooperation. When you're evaluating, like how close you
were last year. You're in the National championship game at home,
you fell a little bit short. Now you're in spring
ball the following year with a lot of turnover. You
have four different offensive lineman, now you have a new quarterback,
you lost your two big time defensive ends. How are
you evaluate where do you see your team at now
compared to this time last year? From a ceiling standpoint,

(02:34:31):
from a buying standpoint, effort standpoint do are guys getting it?
Do you see it all coming together?

Speaker 1 (02:34:37):
You know, buy in effort, attempt to do the right things. Great,
I mean, exactly what we would expect and not picking
up where we left off, but advancing as to where
we left off before. Last year is different. You have
the spring portal, so your team really changes in the summertime.
This year, you have what you have and you're going forward,

(02:34:57):
so you have more players. We have I think four
new players right now. We didn't have that last January February,
you know. So we feel strongly about our team. But
I also feel strongly about shutting our mouths and working
really hard and understanding we have a long ways to go.
That everybody has really good players, and I think we
have to stay along that mindset. There's a you know,

(02:35:19):
and told the team though, the hardest thing in the
world is handling success. And everyone's been telling you how
what a great run, you know, a really super job here,
and it's like, brother, get these people. Get all that
toxicity it just away from you. That's doing us no good.
We got a long ways to go. We got we
have to get so much better in so many different areas,

(02:35:40):
and we're investing the world and our time into it.
So that's got to be the focus. And we really
can't stray from that. Don't talk about Oh when we
go back to the go back to what we got to,
go back to work. We got practice, we got a
big scrimmage coming up, you know, and after that when
we get to August, it's going to be about one
and oh one game at a time, one day at

(02:36:02):
a time. So I think that I think we're achieving
that better than we have in the past. So but
I'll leave it at that. Shut our mouths. A lot
of work to do and go get better. It's like
would say it right, also say that you is back right,
never ever ever say that again. Never that is man.

(02:36:23):
That was all that for years, for years, for years.

Speaker 3 (02:36:27):
But I think it too, Like, I mean, you get
this for me personally, Like I remember n Cuba like
one of the first iterations of it on console, like
on PlayStation it was Florida State in Miami. The shine
that comes off of the helmet, Ken Dorsey, the streak
that was going on, the feeling that you had as
a kid watching the U or understanding the University of Miami,

(02:36:47):
then you're right for the twenty years that it doesn't happen,
and the excitement that came, like to my young self
remembering Miami and knowing that you guys are in the
picture again. It's like that feeling gets reignited for the
you being back, the documentaries, the stuff to where people
love to say obviously the US back and I know
you hate it.

Speaker 1 (02:37:06):
I get why you always say that you is here.
You know, we say, we say mine we are here
right now, and we are. And the best part is
the alumni. They're all about going forward to they don't
talk about back anymore. And they come, they all come
and speak and they're awesome, Like are the best part
about being here. You don't really need any guest speakers.
You've got all these unbelievable alumni or former NFL greats

(02:37:27):
that are living in the city, you know, So you
have just tons of unbelievable speakers that have a great message.
So and we keep it we like keeping it tight.
You know, we're man. We're as simple as it gets.
There's no like hocus pocus, like Hong Kong fuy like craziness.
We're like legitimate, like nuts and bolts, meat, and potatoes,
the right stuff and just doing it face to face,

(02:37:50):
eye to eye and getting after it. And we we
just want to get better. That's all we're focused on.
I love that. I love it.

Speaker 3 (02:37:56):
We have some fun little fan questions. Yeah, Internet, this
is from the internet from us.

Speaker 4 (02:38:01):
These are so if you hear a question you do
not like, understand that.

Speaker 1 (02:38:05):
I don't like that.

Speaker 4 (02:38:08):
This comes from Canes dot h Q.

Speaker 3 (02:38:11):
They have blue check by the way too. I think
they paid for that.

Speaker 1 (02:38:13):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 4 (02:38:14):
I mean, don't We'll get you.

Speaker 3 (02:38:15):
We'll get you on there, get you.

Speaker 4 (02:38:16):
Who is Marios?

Speaker 3 (02:38:17):
They should they should say coach? Who is coach's favorite team?
To be f seward, notre dame?

Speaker 1 (02:38:23):
Everybody? I want to know against everybody, but which one?

Speaker 4 (02:38:28):
If you have to pick, which one gives you something about?

Speaker 1 (02:38:31):
Are going to suck? Just so you know.

Speaker 3 (02:38:35):
If you want, we're gonna have fun doing just one one.

Speaker 1 (02:38:36):
I love want to know. Nothing is more important than
being one to know the zero bulletin board material coming
out of this zero blink.

Speaker 4 (02:38:45):
Once if it's fluid state, Coach, do you want to
we can change us up and we can ask these questions.
You just give us one word answers.

Speaker 1 (02:38:54):
We're not going to do. This is what it is.
I'm gonna go against the green on this here, brother,
whatever you want, any smoothie downstairs, the food that you want. Gear.
But questions, I just they're going to be really boring answers.
But you said, you know people are wired at certain
That's why I'm wired.

Speaker 3 (02:39:10):
Yes, No, I love that. And you made a statement
there about we can have any equipment we want.

Speaker 1 (02:39:15):
Do you mean that I did?

Speaker 4 (02:39:18):
I said that on camera, said it on cameras. So
that's law. Now, all the exclusion we hold on. I'm
trying to get someone with us.

Speaker 3 (02:39:25):
Can we have a jersey?

Speaker 1 (02:39:27):
Depends what number I think we can make that happen. Yeah,
fifty with the ID and the freshman status all over again. Right,
all right, man, here we go.

Speaker 3 (02:39:39):
Freshman coach. What about fifty one five to one? I'll
tell John I won't even like this. They won't.

Speaker 1 (02:39:48):
We'll get it done.

Speaker 3 (02:39:49):
It'll be paying homage to him.

Speaker 1 (02:39:51):
We'll get it done.

Speaker 3 (02:39:52):
Hey, we're having fun. We're having fun right now.

Speaker 1 (02:39:54):
Hey not is that buying me out of these questions? No?

Speaker 4 (02:39:57):
No, but hey, you got to know if these aren't ours,
these are not our question.

Speaker 3 (02:40:00):
I know this this an old school guy.

Speaker 1 (02:40:03):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (02:40:04):
We haven't broken down. We've broken through with him, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I don't know. Coach underscore buildings. What's one non negotiable
standard in your program that every player has to meet,
no matter their talent level. As a coach, how do
you teach accountability and discipline to the players in a
way that actually sticks beyond football?

Speaker 1 (02:40:25):
Early is on time, brother, Early is on time, absolutely,
no excuses, none, zero, ear least on time. And that's it.
We don't have a huge book of rules and policies.
You know, respect people give your absolute best effort early
on time, respect, respect, respective.

Speaker 3 (02:40:41):
How do you feel about jewelry in the locker room?

Speaker 1 (02:40:43):
Oh they're fine.

Speaker 3 (02:40:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:40:45):
When we go out to the field to play, we
don't put on jewelry just because either you lose it,
you get cut on it, or whatnot. But no issues.
Shirttails go on the field, shirts stucked in, shirt stucked in.
Yeh yeah, they come out during practice, you know it.
But we we always start off all right.

Speaker 3 (02:41:02):
He might like this one second page top.

Speaker 4 (02:41:07):
This comes from Jay at Danny CEO for two to
two Ask coach crystal Ball. How much Cuban coffee he
has a day and take a shot of Cuban coffee
on air with coach crystal Ball.

Speaker 1 (02:41:18):

I don't think we won't have it here, but uh,
a fair amount, you know, it's a it's rocket Shool's.
I make my own in the morning and then one
of the coaches makes it in the afternoon here, but
throughout the course today probably four okay, four cups of coffee,
but yeah, there's they're tiny, like little shots. Got you
haven't had any? You didn't have some last night at

(02:41:38):
the restaurant or wherever you guys went.

Speaker 3 (02:41:40):

us after the interview. That's what I've heard.

Speaker 1 (02:41:46):
Yeah, he'll make it. You'll love it, You'll you'll be
wired for weeks.

Star when you beat Ohouse State on New Year's Eve?

Speaker 3 (02:42:35):
There we go to the Giant, you know, did you
feel like pul Cogan dropping the leg drop on Andre
the Giant when you beat a House State on New
Year's Eve?

Speaker 1 (02:42:43):

become a really good team and we were the better
team that night.

Speaker 3 (02:43:21):
I'm curious, Rubin.

Speaker 4 (02:43:23):
The first thing I would do is take away his bulrush,
so I would the first third down where I had
a slide, I would jump set him favoring the outside.
So when he went inside, my guard clean him up.
So now he's thinking.

Speaker 1 (02:43:33):
About that is coming with you.

Speaker 4 (02:43:35):
If I have a slight side, I'm talking about clean
We have four down front. We got a guy on that.
We had a shade and a five, and he's the five.

Speaker 3 (02:43:40):
This is your chess match. This is my chess match.

Speaker 1 (02:43:43):
Now we're taking the linebacker, walking him over to demand
the sword side goes to the other side on one.

Speaker 4 (02:43:47):
Then I'm going to make him beat me laterally, not vertically,
so I would I would jump set him immediately, and
then the next set I would do a forty five
degree angle and I would make him go inside so
I can wash him down to the back of somebody
because he'll trip. I can get him a dump. Now
it's mental warfare taking place.

Speaker 1 (02:44:06):
I would say this, I would say that we would
have to somehow or the use of AI bring your
prime self versus Ruben right now and see what that
looks like right now today Ruben Bain all day. Brother.
Guess he's got a lot of power. How are you?
How are you coaching a tackle to approach? I think
that was that's a great strategy right there. You have

(02:44:28):
to you have to be aggressive, you know, because if
he gets his second and third step in the ground,
watch out like his his power, like his numbers in
the weight room, if you had the metrics that are insane,
like the way he comes out of his hips, and
have you seen him like without a shirt, he looks
like something I'd love to Yeah, I don't know about you.

Speaker 3 (02:44:49):
Like he's like the physical nature of a Yeah, he's
a man. He's yeah, like Mo the backer number one,
he's a buddy.

Speaker 1 (02:44:56):
Those guys have really built themselves into those are mature
like physical like stout dudes man him and Mesador. They
just explode through people if you watch them. A lot
of the stuff was just combobulating people where they couldn't
get their bearings about him. After the initial collision so
they couldn't refit a hand or that inside foot gave
way opened up. So great stuff. It's great stuff talking

(02:45:18):
technique and strategy when going against defensive that's important. We
do that a bunch with our guys. One on one.

Speaker 3 (02:45:22):
I'm gonna make a statement so that you don't have
to answer the question. I just want to know if
you agree with me or not. I think it's bullshit
that people are knocking Reuben Bain on the length of
his arms, and that violence is violence, and you can
have short arms or longer arms, but the end of
the day, you still have to stop it.

Speaker 1 (02:45:38):
Yeah, whoever is trying to I think maybe people create
narratives to try to jockey their way in a position
to draft him. Yeah, because we've been open practices to
the NFL all year, every single year, and everybody that
comes in says, that's the baddest son of a gun
they've seen him in Mesador, that they're the two best
edges out there, because not only do they do that
in the passing game, they absolutely knock people back in

(02:46:00):
the run game and set edges like nobody else. So
all the feedback and all the conversations I've had with
the higher ups from the NFL think that these two
guys are the absolute best, and they've proven it against
the best offensive line.

Speaker 4 (02:46:13):
The photo of him at Pro Day with his nose
essentially grazing the turf, that level of bend, it's terrifying.

Speaker 1 (02:46:21):
Yeah, him, you know, in practice, when you get in
that mood like he just wants to kill you. Yeah,
trying to block him was like insanely hard. But then
you have Francis Minou on the other side, who's another
Jurassic Park one, right, Yeah, and those two guys was like, man,
just just incredible physicality, great technique and level of competitiveness

(02:46:43):
because they would always seek each other out. There's not
a day that went by that they didn't seek each
other out for one on ones. They never avoided each other.
It was awesome and so they've set a great standard
for those young guys.

Speaker 3 (02:46:55):
That's awesome. We have one final question. It's our bud
light question. You know how people would do anything for
an ice cold mud life. What would coach Crystal Ball
do anything for?

Speaker 1 (02:47:06):
Can't say family. Can't say family, can't say family, church, anything.

Speaker 3 (02:47:11):
Like, no, no, no, religion, politics, family out. Yeah, where
the dinner table.

Speaker 1 (02:47:19):
I want to know. Nothing gets in the way of
want to know. Brother, I love it. God you are
