Speaker 4 (02:01):
Two episodes ago, episode five, when we talked about me

Speaker 7 (02:11):
On the boat with us. He made We're dialed.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
We I'm making it up to him and we are

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Insert picture of you guys on the boat together right there.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Insert screenshot of Mitch and Coop jumping off the cliff
together holding screenshot from the video holding hands, both mouth open,
about to get enter the water.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
I think there's a mandatory Instagram.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Collab that yeah, oh absolutely, And that's not like.
Speaker 9 (02:44):
A Sunday post that's midday on the water or does
it even mean anything?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Because Jack, what content works best on busting and like
you know, when we're traveling, you know, like collab real time?
Speaker 9 (02:58):
Yeah, in real time, and that's why we run our socials. Yeah,
so we do need a clap post for sure.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Absolutely, it'll be Cooper and I shaking hands on the
because it'll be a double decker boat.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It will be us too.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
At the stage the invite all it'll.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Be us to shaking hands, making up for it. And
then I was holding hands going off the uh, going
off to Johns.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Maybe a couple of beers deep something that I don't
know if they should have rubbed me the wrong way
or not. I'm not involved in the situation, but I did.
I did just find out that Coop is paying one
hundred dollars to go on the boat, and now I'm
wondering how much you also, no, I mean, you know,
miss paid is due, but when you're inviting somebody to
(03:43):
the boat, and we also did find out he was
your third option. I mean no, yes, but.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
We're not going to They're not turning against you.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Right now what they're trying to do here. I don't
mean to pick this, but when you guys, how do
y'all feel on the invite things? Cause I know, like
for rich people, say will or Taylor, if they have
a birthday party and they invite people out to dinner,
that they pay for everything they're rich. I know that
(04:14):
I'm not saying that you should do it, but I'm saying,
what level of money or what level of status do
you think you need to get to to be inviting
like people to dinner?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And did Delaney have to pay for racing with your brother?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
No, But if Mitch would have made me pay or
not made me pay, like hey, like I got you,
I would have been like, I'm good, like like honestly
paying is like a plus because then I feel like
I'm part of like I'm just like everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Else paying a plus quote graphic.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
If I was the only one that would just be
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
No, yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Did, was like he showed me, proved like everyone's paid already.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah. I was like, hey, Coop, so let me see
the receipts. How do you make sure everyone's actually paying
one hundred dollars?
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I want to make three of the people.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
They say, no, do you want to go?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
No? I didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I said, I want to make this up to you.
Would you like to come on the boat this weekend? However,
it is one hundred dollars, And I didn't want to
be like if you don't want, if you didn't want
to comment, that's completely fine. Like obviously one hundred dollars
is one hundred dollars, especially when we don't we're not paid, Like.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Does Coop have to bring his own alcohol or no, we'll.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Have We'll have like plenty of alcohol, saving money some stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
No, I mean, Coops just gonna bring the vibes.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
He's gonna I mean, yeah, it's a he's a he's
an impact player when it comes to that is actually
the one thing you do need to bring sunscreen screen.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
No, I gotta go buy some y no sunscreen, somebody,
no sunscreen. I was apeeling for like the last two weeks. Yeah,
Memorial Weekend was bad. I turned red.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, we we gotta. I don't want you to get burnt.
And it's gonna be luckily we're.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Going where where we're going, Priest, Percy, Priest, you see
mid the water and then put it on, snap a flick,
it'll be in the water. I'm saying, if if all
of our fans are like five million listeners.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah even already, But the only thing that stinks is
like the uh oh yeah, like the hours or like
you can go at nine forty five one or like
four thirty, and the one o'clock slot was already like booked,
So I figured if we like at nine forty five
or at four, I feel like if four, we're gonna
be kind of like waiting all day, and I'm sure
(06:25):
like we'll be like drinking it stuff beforehand. We might
be a little bit too tuned up to go on
the boats. Like nine forty five, like I think that's
a good start, Plus it's supposed to be like ninety
five degrees on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I was really sold on nine yeah, yeah, yeah, and
like well a few hours.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, I think we might be like one of the
earlier people out on the water, which like there's like
a little party cove where everybody kind of docks up.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
But I don't know if there's gonna be people out.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
There, it's gonna be packed.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
I feel like if yea more honestly, one even feels
late to get out on the water.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Yeah, so I think you guys are in how long?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Was a great time? It's like three?
Speaker 5 (07:03):
The next the next ride is at one, so you
go off a nine.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Oh gotcha? So you have just that time soon to
be back with the boat.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Yeah, because and it's nice too because like shout out,
Rowdy's wild rides, no free shoutouts, but they they have
like this, Yeah, they have the shuttles. Uh, like the
shuttle service that'll they'll come pick us up at the
house and they'll drop yeah, drop that and that. That
was an extra two hundred bucks. But for me, no,
(07:33):
but I do like if you think about all the
ubers that we're gonna have to get from.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Percy, Yeah, that's for sure.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
It's definitely saving money for sure.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
How many people are going twelve? Oh okay, that's a
that's a good price. Yeah, it's one hundred per yep.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, So I mean.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
I think it's gonna be we need a boat, dude

Speaker 4 (13:05):
There for like a year year and a half. And
we went into the harbor and we were like doing

I kept getting like cold feet and I got scared.
So then I was like, all right, one more, all right,
one more, and then I finally did it and y'all
ran out of cards. No dead asked, and I was
I was like, so, how do you know that you're
in love with somebody?
Speaker 5 (13:35):

before we all are gonna live. You've lived in some
insane places.

Yeah, you moved like four times.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
No, So I was in my apartment building for six
months by myself, and then Foul moved down and then
I was there for another year. So I was in
my apartment for eighteen months, and then I was moved
into the house in East for uh yeah, literally four months.
And then from the East house we moved to this.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
House to the house. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Three three three places in three years.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Good deal.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
The one in East was.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Crazy, The one in East was This one is too
that he's in.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
I think the one in East was bigger.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I think the one in East was definitely bigger. But
it was made of paper.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, well it was also it wasn't just the house.
The decor at the one on East was crazy. It's
like a magazine.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It came it did come furnished.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Remember, but remember you pulled up and you had your
sleeves off.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
That was the that's this one right now one?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Remember that was when YouTube just and yeah I rolled up.
That wasn't But then you showed up again for the
fourth of July. Did you were you there for fourth
of July and you weren't there.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You was the only one. Yeah, you and Jill one time.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Yeah, yeah, as soon as I rolled in that first
time with y'all to I walk in that living room,
I guess somebody's girlfriend lives here, Like this is crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Yeah, it came furnished and I did not pick out
that house. That was Chlez and Parallel and Ryan. They
all picked out that house and then uh that three
of them lived in there, and then Paraleul moved out
to New Orleans, so then Fall and I moved in,
took his his spot, and like it saved Schlez and
Ryan money. It saved us money. So it was like
(16:28):
it was perfect, and Jared had been Jared was probably
there the most.
Speaker 11 (16:32):
Yeah, I was about to say side note as someone
that toured houses with you, Yes, the houses that Mitch
picks out, I mean, dude, we were literally touring like
you'd think like they're like Mark Mark Zuckerberg's like little property,
Like they were ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
But they weren't like we would look, we would do pricing,
and they weren't.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
No, and Mitch is also so organized on the house
search hit a Google sheet had it by price, a
rating system. But they're all penthouses.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Anywhere, oh exactly like the house that we're living in
right now is we have four people, and it was
I mean I don't really care.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It's forty five hundred for split between four people.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And Mitch actually does his research one point five mil oh.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
I think I think I looked it up and I
think it's like eight hundred.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Dang market going down street Parking took it down, yeah hill. Yeah,
so it's flooding.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
But it's so random because like you have like these
crazy houses and you just have like a little like
a house that's.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Been there for a minute, you know it right, just
the owners don't want to give it up.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
But yeah, that was when Jared and I me, Jared
and Fou were going to live together.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We toured a bunch of houses.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
We've We've toured at least like six or seven places,
and then Jared was like, listen, I'm gonna have to
pay four months double rent. I don't think this is
gonna work.
Speaker 11 (17:43):
Yeah, And Mitch tried to make it work. Mitch like
tried to get the cost of the house so low
that it would make up for it and the money
I would save alone. But like Mitch had this ship.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Like Mitch is about to be running the dormitory.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
Dude, Mitch had it planned out. The only reason it
was just made I was like this, just I can't
justify just wasting like, yeah, eight thousand dollars, yeah, to
live with y'all, like to double pay rent.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
But yeah, so that kind of knows.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
That kind of goes back to show how how much
how long Jared and I have known each other.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
But yeah, fire, great year, great year, great, great year ahead,
excited for twenty seven and what what's gonna come?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I will do let's go, but it'll be it'll be
a good part.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Maybe since it's your birthday, we don't all do our
favorite sandwich, but we just get Mitch's favorite sandwich.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
For sure, since it's birthday.
Speaker 2 (18:27):

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Actually, what we need, Mitch is a photo of you
in your birthday post with a PB and J in
front of you with a candle in it. That would
be a man idea that or just fat cookie yeah.

Sure, or in your works, in your picture, in your
picture with Coop just hold hold your hand out with
your picture with Coop and well Sora PBJ with the candle.

That'd be guess I can't just edit it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah, we saw the Chad GPT. I don't know if
y'all saw my story last night. It's not good for
the brain. When you use chad GPT a certain amount,
it's great your brain activity, it's it goes great pretty
much as opposed to when you're creating something on your own.
There's all the different stuff going on in the brain.
Just be weary out there of you chat. GPTs obviously useful,
(19:26):
but it don't abuse it.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
When drum the boat with Coop, take a picture with him,
but hold your hand out. We'll have Coop put a
PBJ with a candle in it.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Yeah, I think, yeah, good.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Good.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
If you if there's another thing you want to bring,
you can bring a PPJ to that.
Speaker 3 (19:41):

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Main focal in the middle.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Yeah, you know, like you know those artists do murals

Speaker 8 (22:22):
That would I mean, if you under we're all under
your arms kind of.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Like holding you children.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Have you seen our logo?
Speaker 7 (22:29):

Speaker 3 (22:33):

Oh like the graphics, yeah are cool. Yeah when people

Speaker 8 (22:51):
Oh yeah, maybe you're all the bus overhead press.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
Right now?
Speaker 7 (22:58):
I don't really Ben, I do dumbell bench press?
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Now, smart?
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Where are you got on there?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Like one for three d A R?
Speaker 6 (23:07):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
What? Well, there's beef here too, because when George came
on the bus, he said, who's the guy with the
Cardinals shirt? I did? Yeah, I'll never.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Forget him though, right, Yeah, that's a lot on impression. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Also, they went to and overs San fran last year.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
They did.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
They did also on the years before that. I'm you're
this you're probably a.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
New fan to the team.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's okay fan, Yeah, who's your favorite player? Who's your
favorite player of all time?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Larry fits as you should be he's a monster. I
ran into him last summer in Minnesota and he was
bigger than me. D Yeah, he was like six four
two fifty five and he doesn't even look like he's
that big.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I was like, you're a monster.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Who's your favorite player of all time? My favorite player
of all time? Growing up, it was Ricky Williams. Ricky
Williams was my favorite player. Actually, I got to talk
to him on was It Hey k Adams Show, like
he was the next guest after me, and I just okay, okay,
I just sat on the show. I was like, I
just like not hang up and like sit here for
five minutes. He's like, yeah, for sure. And I just
(24:12):
talked to him. He was like, oh, you dude, you're
a legend.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Ricky Williams was one of my favorites. And then probably
like Brian er Lacker or like Dallas Clark classic he's
an tight endy.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
What does it feel like when you grew up in
like this league where the Titan was more blocking position.
Now you guys have kind of revolutionized that with the
position and you get to hang out with the Dallas
Clarks and all these like massive people.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
You probably grew up playing.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
With so fucking sick, Like we have Jeremy Shockey coming
this year to tighten you and like blown away so
wid I'm so excited. Like I literally watched his highlight
videos before a couple of games last year. Just got
me amped. So like, he's fantastic. Hang out Dallas Clark
is always a great time because he's an Iowa guy,
like just getting to kind of connect to the old
school players who like because I mean, yeah, like twenty
years ago, everything it was just like a you're the
(24:56):
six offensive lineman, right like, and if you were a
smaller guy, you didn't make the league. And now it's
just evolved into like, yeah, big guys, you got small guys,
got the guys in the middle like me who do everything.
It's just like the positions just you get to do everything,
and you do everything at.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
A high level.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
So it's I'm really annoying.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
It's got to be one of the best positions. And
we've talked about it probably our collective favorite position group
because of the vibes.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Oh dude, right, yeah, because Titans one your friends with
the offensive lineman, you're friends with the wide receivers, the
running backs, the quarterbacks, all the defensive players, like you're connected.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
To everybody, not just score touchdowns.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
I get a score touchdowns, I get a run routes,
I got a run block. I get a pass pro.
I get a pass pro defensive ends that make one
hundred million dollars, Like I enjoy doing everything. Some Titans
throw passes.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
Would you rather catch a game winning TD or pancake
flop one of the best d n's in the league.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
The fact that you added the past defensive end the league.
I might take that one at this point. Yeah, if
it was just a normal pancake, I would take a
touchdown because stats is what get you paid. True, But
no pancaking like a like Perennial All Pro guy.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
That's a dream.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
And the good news is you guys won the game.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Still, so so.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You just see George getting up laughing. I do that
NFL SoundBite would just be George laughing though, I just
I cackle.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Dude.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
I'm just like, I can't believe you let me do
that to you.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But would you be a little worried? No, I'm saying,
but everything that comes after, like hopefully it happens at
the end of the game.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
No, No, I will do it early because then you
just discourage him because I'm in his head for the rest.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Of the dame talk.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Yeah, you talk who Like I'm telling you every D
line room. You can ask any D line in this
their defensive cord, their defensive line coach is going, don't
care who this tight end is. You're gonna beat his ass.
We don't get blocked by tight ends. All this X
y Z, and then he has to sit on Monday
and watch himself get pancacked by a tight end that's hard.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
To beat, and it'll live forever on the internet.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
I'm also in his head for the rest of his life.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
So when you're talking shit, are you more of like
a mean talk kind of guy, are you more like
just kind of like fun, friendly kind of jabs just
laughing at.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Him when you're ninety percent of it is friendly jabs,
and then ten percent of it, like if you say
something really stupid to me, I it's quick trigger.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
At this point, I.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Like, I can't remember. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
name the kid even I'm picturing his face in his
jersey and his name right now, but I'm not gonna
name him green. Anyways, he was a rookie and like
I had to play. I had like a chip to
like a release and I'm like the check down route
on it, and I chip him, and as a release,
he like just grabs me by the collar and throws
me down to the ground and I turn around.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I look at him, and he like.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Turns around and he goes, sit the fuck down, you
pussy bitch. I looked at him, and then the flag
comes in because it's an obvious holding call, and I
looked at him. I was like, hey, hey, turn around,
so I know what your fucking name is. Buddy. I
was like, who are you talking to right now? No
one here knows you are. And then his coach is like,
get over here, and he didn't play the rest of
(27:44):
the game. I said, yeah, go back to your fucking coach.
Sit on the fucking bench and think about.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
What you've done. That's one of the best trips. Like
who even are you?
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Juice does that all the time to people. It's so funny,
Like he does it to everybody goes, who are you?
Nobody knows I'm like, oh, like, I don't put like that.
I've only said like once or twice. Most people aren't
like dickheads to me because I'm pretty friendly, but like
for someone to say, like, sit down, pussy bitch, I'm like,
as a rookie, yea, who the fuck are you?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Bud? Is there any defensive guys that are hilarious to
play against? Like every week it's not so much you're
looking forward to the match up, but you're like, Yo,
this guy is entertaining.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 8 (28:21):
You're looking for those highlights.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Yeah, that's a really good question. There's a couple dbs
that are always fun to go against because they just
chirped the whole time and then like all run at
them to block them, and they run away from me
and they go, man, get the fuck away from me.
I don't I don't want to know these problems. Those ones
are always fun. Like, uh, there's a couple like d
Linen that are always fun to play against. JJ Watt, No,
TJ Watt. JJ Watt was really fun to play against
when he was with the Cardinals a couple of times
(28:44):
because he just talks the whole game. And then, uh,
TJ's fun too because we chipped on him every single play. No,
this is we played them in Pittsburgh two years ago.
We won the game, but like, we chipped them every
play except for three plays, and on those three plays
he had three sacks, damn and liqually, but we chipped
him all three the whole game. And he's so mad
(29:04):
the whole game. He's like, dude, leave me alone. I'm like, never,
it's like your mind, baby, your mind. Thost conversations always
really fun, all right.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
I know we can talk about football all day, but
I feel like that's probably Yeah.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
Are you an amusement park or a water parky water park?
Speaker 9 (29:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
I get I get crazy motion sickness on roller coasters,
but I still do them because they're really fun.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
What was the last water park that you visited?
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Oh, dude, couldn't even tell you. Probably like ten years ago,
probably somewhere in Iowa.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Well, okay, So we've been flowing this idea around.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
We've got these interns. You might have breezed by them
at the end of the summers. I've run it by
will and we want to take them to Nashville Shores.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
I don't know if you've ever been to Shores.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
It's a pretty you know, B tier water park, b
tears really giving them flowers.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
That's awesome.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
We're going to take everyone in the shop there at
the end of the summer. You know, it might be
too close to training camp, but if you're around him,
the invite is extended if you want to come rip
a water park.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I love water parks on people watching as you could imagine.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
It's fantastic. Are you kidding? Mesion stands hit different too
at water parks, dipping dots.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
We all got to wear goggles the entire time.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
I'm gonna wear ski goggles.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Oh yeah, just incredible.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
Oh I'm in for that. That sounds like a great
time water park. There's nothing like a good water park
as a kid, Like, what's the hotel that has a
water park in at the Wolf Lodge? Great Wolflage, shout
out those guys, like there's nothing. I had to stay
there one time, like a year or two ago, like
the hotel books fell through and there's a great Wolf
Lodge in the same city. I was like, I went
(30:37):
down the water side once. It was fantastic there. It
was like a Tuesday afternoon, no one was there.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I was like, this is awesome.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
As far as professional fandom in the state of Iowa, like,
what are the teams of that state.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
So basically, did you have a choice. If you live
in Iowa, you have you're an Iowa football fan. Probably
you're not an i a state fan, and then you
either go to Minnesota, you go to Wisconsin and the city,
or you go to Chicago. Like those are your four
that you pick, and like that's just kind of how
it is. My dad was a Bears fan, so I
became a Bears fan and a Cubs fan like my
(31:15):
dad's dad was a Vikings fan. I have a ton
of friends who are I mean, most of my wife's
entire family with diehard Packers fans, So that was that
was a fun transition to get them to be like, hey,
stop cheering for the Packers.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Stop it.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
And they've all done a great job since then. Now
they all have nine or stuff. But yeah, no, I
I grew up a Bears fan.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I couldn't imagine living in a state and like having
a pool for a state team in another state. It's
it's really weird, Like do you have like Chicago's on
like two it's like a two hour drive. That's not
bad at me. Ask where he's from, Let's know, where
are you from.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I'm Pennsylvania.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
You're from Pennsylvania, So what you are? What a Patriots
Yankees fan?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
And then like the Lakers to it gets better, Only
I don't have any I'm a football fan.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I don't. I don't really care about the other sports.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Okay, sure, but.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I'm an Ohio State fan and the Kansas City Chiefs fan.
So basically the Yankees.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
And the yeah, the New Age Yankees.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Yeah, yeah, no, that's that's totally fine. And you live
in Tennessee and you're from Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Yeah, remember last year when we when you were on
the bus and we recorded longer.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, this is last year you guys when you came on.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Yeah, we were you were leaving for I was trying
trying what happened?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I missed? You know? You know Mike?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Yeah, he's like my favorite artist.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I'm like a.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Massive missed it missed it.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
That sucks for you.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yeah, but I'm seeing him July fifth when he comes here,
So that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I just fifth Georgia.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
July fifth Saturday.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
That's a Saturday Saturday's Oh for July Fridays, I'm.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Gonna be on the river probably is where I'm gonna be.
Speaker 8 (33:04):
What rivers usually going out towards.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
The South Harpeth. No, my sisters bought a cabin with
river access, and like last year, we set up all
the all like the pong tables in the river because
it's all like two feet deep in some parts. So
we're playing beer pong and beer ball like in the water.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
That was a fantastic Those are good days when you
float the Harpeth.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Oh, those are great days.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
So the water like at that point too. In July,
it's like seventy five eighty degrees.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Where is the heart?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Just west, Just go west twenty minutes you'll run into
the Harpeth. Just drive off the bridge.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And untapped are in Nashville.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Still Kingston Springs, Baby, yeah, I love it out there.
It's great, hard to beat. I want to open up
either a bar or a sandwich shop in Kingston Springs.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
What about both?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
We get the interns work there daytime, subs nighttime.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
But very interesting.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
The tough thing is that I think there's like one
family that basically owns everything in Kingston Springs and they're
not they don't really need to sell because they sure
they don't need to.
Speaker 9 (34:01):
Can you walk a step through step what is George
Kittle's favorite sandwich, whether it's your creating it or you're's
your own favorite sandwich spot.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Oh, let's see. First thing is if I'm going to Subway,
the Subway melt is my favorite sandwich. Quizno's Chicken Carbonera,
shit's gas or the chicken honey Mustard.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That one's gas.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
Jimmy John's Club, Lulu's so good toasted dude. They just
started doing that.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
It's a raise special. It's so good.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
It is a place called Ikes Sandwiches out in the
out in California, and they it's called It's fun because
all the names are completely random, like they name a
lot of them after athletes in the Bay. But they
have one it's called name of the Girl I'm dating
is the name of the sandwich. And it's like shredded
chicken with like some it's like it's basically like a
Yum yum sauce and it's like the Dutch crunch bread,
(34:49):
like the super Crunchy one. I have that one at
least twice a week. That shit is so good.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Have you tried Chiba hunt?
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Yeah, Chiba Hut dude, one of my old one of
my Carrie Hyder former defensive en for the Niners. She
owns like four Cheaba huts. Sounds like, do good for
you making money?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (35:04):
Did I think they're all in college towns too?
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Oh yeah, he's we hit the one in Eugene. Yeah,
it was. There's one here. There's a Cheaba hut here, Yeah,
recently this.
Speaker 9 (35:15):
I don't know if you're into designer sandwiches, but like,
you know, something's gonna maybe cost about sixteen seventeen dollars.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
What is it?
Speaker 9 (35:21):
But there's a place called Smoking Oaks and it's off
of Wedgwood and Eighth Avenue, and it's like partially a
butcher shop, and then they also make some like really
good sandwiches.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
And if you're ever there, it's, uh, it's definitely worth it.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Basically order your meats, then you get a sandwich, and
you eat your sandwich while you wait.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
For your meats.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
Exactly. Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yeah. Have you been a room forty in Nashville?
Speaker 7 (35:44):
I feel like I have. Is that like a really
small restaurant. No, it's different.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
No, it's a room for these nuts. No. I definitely
ate there.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
I definitely ate that you killed.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
It's brutal because I got robbed with it on the pod.
That's a good one. I remember that one.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
They fuck you like you do me a favor, Shut
the fuck up.
Speaker 2 (36:05):

Speaker 6 (36:17):
That is a huge w for Jared Beeman over there.
Speaker 11 (36:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Oh, I get like the worst heartburn. I get the
worst heartburn from it. It's also like there's no way
that's healthy to swallow it for your gut lining, So
like why would I? I did shoot a back over
twelve years, so that's not healthy for you either.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
But it is delicious, damn.
Speaker 7 (36:41):
I'll say this one of my favorite things. I went
to Uh the Dead and coat the sphere. Shout out
my hat, Shout out your hat. I went one time
with it was me, Bosa McCaffrey, Juice and Jake Tung
just one of our tight ends. Golfed all day, went
to Grateful Dead. Had so much fun that I went
the following weekend. Convinced my wife to go again, so
then it was me my wife Bosa went again fantastic,
(37:03):
and we brought a couple off Linemon Ben Bartch and
Nixickel and we got to meet John Mayer the second time.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Dang.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
And well, first we walk into his room and he's
just hanging out with Kenny Chesney, which was pretty sick.
And my wife knows Kenny Chesney really well because she
met him like ten years ago. She's found to like
fourteen of his shows. Yeah, but John Mayer, he doesn't drink.
And we're like, well, what's like your vice now? And
it's Kodiak Winter Green, which is the same tobackguard that
I chewed for twelve years, and he's a gadu. He
(37:30):
was like, I just he goes. I just put in
half a can like for like ten minutes and he
takes it out. I'm like, oh my gosh. I was like,
that's gasoline in the fucking lip.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Damn.
Speaker 8 (37:40):
Kodiak is not for the fane of.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Far No, it is not.
Speaker 7 (37:42):
I remember I chewed Kodiak in front of Luke Comb's
and he's shooting Copenhagen and he was like, you are
putting gasoline in your lip. I'm like sorry that I'm
a man and you're not.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
How insane. Is this fear though?
Speaker 7 (37:53):
It's one of the cools.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I went last year. Jack went recently. Obviously you went
in the same time.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Yeah, I went the weekend after you. You in and
see him see what you were just talking about.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
I guess when when I my wife together, I wouldn't
sick of you what it told.
Speaker 9 (38:07):
Me I was out of Kodiak, so I wouldn't have
felt good going that was.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
It's an experience though, it's I think it really depends
on where your seats are too, because if you're like
under because it's like was you have the ground floor
then like the one the one hundred level, but it
goes up and there's a deck over it, and if
you're like underneath the deck and you can't look up,
it's like that's like that's not you're not if you're
tucked under, it's just like you see some of it,
(38:32):
but it's not as cool. But like if you've kind
of hurt your heart, if you ever go to the surve,
you want to be either on the ground floor, you
want to be in the two hundred level. That's what
because big Cat he goes all the time, and uh,
but like it literally.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Is it's like an egg and it just goes up
over your head.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
And like the way like they can make the room
feel like it's a small little room, or yeah, they
can drop it down you feel like you're in a box,
or they open it up and it.
Speaker 6 (38:53):
Goes up forever.
Speaker 7 (38:55):
It's one of the coolest experiences I've ever been.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
Anytime the Grateful Dead is there, all go again.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
With your like status of celebrity. What is the coolest
thing that has just fallen in your lap, some kind
of experience like getting to meet John.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
Mayer That that is a I mean, like, the only
reason we got went to Grateful Dead was because Bosa
got a random invite when he was because he lives
in Fort Lauderdale to what's the Electric Music Festival in
Miami DC uh or what is it? It's some big one.
It's either e DC or something. But his favorite artist
is dead Man, and so he had like a random
(39:31):
invite to go watch Dead Mount perform on like on
a Sunday night, and he went and like Dead Mound's
head of security is friends with the Grateful Dead, Bob Weir,
who's like the the last guy of yeah, the og.
He's friends with his head of security and he's like
a Niners fan and he sent it to him, connected
him and he goes, you guys want to come to
the sphere next week, and so then he brought all
of he brought us and then we had so much
(39:52):
fun they let us come back again. So like that's
the reason we got to go like shit like that.
When that happens, you're like they put us in like
one of the sweets. It was just an absolute who.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Of the time.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Yeah, I mean, you guys playing in same friend that's
where they're from.
Speaker 7 (40:04):
So I feel like dude and Dude the Grateful Dead.
They have a three day show are you going to get?
At the Golden State Park and.
Speaker 8 (40:11):
Billy Strings, Sergil Simpson Tryastasia first.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
The first day of the show. We have a body
that we have an off day the next day from
training camp, so we have a group of guys that
are gonna go up for the show amazing, and then
Morgan Wallens there the next day too.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I think Thomas Edwards plays a couple of days after
that up there.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
He plays that weekend at the at the Gorge.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Shout out to the security guys. The security guys are
always loveless people.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
Plugs, They're just dialed and it's like sick to like,
we're watching this, We're watching the show, and it's right
to the left is his main security guy.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
His name's what it is his name? Oh yeah, that's
his name.
Speaker 7 (40:49):
He is a big ass white dude, yoked out of
his mind. I'm like, you could kill me with one punch,
and he just could not be any more chill finger.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
What does a George Kittle festival fit look like?
Speaker 7 (41:04):
Oh uh, it just depends on where I'm going. My
wife likes me to wear some designer stuff once in
a while. I'll wear a Gucci lou Vuitton once in
a while, But majority of the time I'm wearing like
either a Lord of the Rings shirt or WW shirt
jersey with like Jeane shorts and nice sneakers. Yeah. Like,
I go every year at this festival in Napa Valley
called Bottle Rock, and it's like every type of music
(41:24):
you got em, you got country, you got rock, you
got pop. Like this year's headliners. One of the nights
was Benson Boone yea fall by Just and Timberlake, and
then the next night was like Noah Khan, So like
that was phenomenal, but like up there, it's like the
it's the cleanest festival I've ever been to. Like everything's turfed.
It's got all like Napa Valley food and wine type
(41:46):
stuff they take really good care of. Like if you
like get the nice passes and stuff so liked, you
could wear like the nicest fit ever and you won't
get any dirty at all.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
It's so bougie.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (41:57):
I've not been a bonder this last year looked tough.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Yeah, Garrett.
Speaker 9 (42:02):
Garrett went up for thirty minutes and then literally gets canceled,
turns right back around head.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
I saw the.
Speaker 7 (42:08):
Videos of people that were camping there. Yeah, yeah, GA
was brutal.
Speaker 9 (42:11):
Lot they need They got to do a lot of
infrastructure kind of re situating. The drainage system is just
impossible to get around. But luckily me and Garrett have
been upwards of ten times over the course since we
were like eighteen was the best person.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
It's hard because Tom Petty played one time and like
that's one where you're just like I got to see
Tom pett Yeah, But then you have ones where I
mean like red hot Chili Bebers.
Speaker 9 (42:34):
Last year was phenomenal. But like I remember again with
Elton John one year and like and everyone loves like
an Elton John tune or two. But you see him perform,
you're like, oh, I understand why this guy is the
state of.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Who he is an icon.
Speaker 6 (42:47):
Yeah, and so, but.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Everything's been like some great like back in the day
orl grime shows where you're like, yeah, throwing down.
Speaker 6 (42:54):
Absolutely, so there's a good mix out there for sure.
Speaker 7 (42:57):
Definitely that's a I guess a song Blona is a
bottle rock that was last year.
Speaker 8 (43:03):
He probably strings out for a song, which is awesome.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Yeah, Post is he's a he's a fun We got
to get him on this show.
Speaker 8 (43:10):
Post Malone center back back of the bus.
Speaker 7 (43:13):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 8 (43:14):
Yeah, I mean bud Light.
Speaker 9 (43:15):
Well, I guess we can start with busting and then
kind of segue because bud Light.
Speaker 7 (43:19):
Yeah, you have five minutes. Yeah, it'll be nice and
easy for you.
Speaker 6 (43:23):
There was a brief reference to l O t R.
With the T shirt. Yeah, what's your Love of Lord?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
The rings look like.
Speaker 7 (43:30):
Oh, I mean I just got a brand new tattoos.
Oh my god, yeah, thank you. I got the words
of the ring on top. He's wearing the Ring down
here too. I love Lord of the Rings like my dad.
That was my bedtime story when I was a kid.
My dad would read me the books. So yeah, I
am obsessed with Lord of the Rings. It's one of
my favorite. It's the best trilogy of all time that compares.
(43:51):
It's what what it won like seventeen losers like, come on,
it's the best.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
The best ever. I need to watch him.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Yeah, I recently I've seen.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
So you're from Pennsylvania, like Ohio State and Kansas City.
You've never seen Lord of the Rings. What do you
bring to the bus besides the idea of it? Sorry,
the back of the bus.
Speaker 8 (44:08):
He doesn't bring invites, you.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Know, I don't want to hear it. Actually I don't
really bring.
Speaker 7 (44:12):
So what I would do is just watch Lord of
the Rings.
Speaker 9 (44:14):
Extended Sydney Cuts and we're gonna stream it all one day.
Speaker 7 (44:19):
I watched all three extended cuts every year, no matter
what you have to right after the front fifteen. It's
fun too.
Speaker 6 (44:26):
I did not as much as the original.
Speaker 7 (44:29):
They're not as good, but they're still good.
Speaker 8 (44:31):
Rings of Power I watched TV.
Speaker 7 (44:35):
I watched like a season a half of it is
where I'm at right now.
Speaker 8 (44:37):
Yeah's been harder for me to watch.
Speaker 7 (44:39):
Not a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, which
is okay. She still lets me watching stuff. I shall
watch it with me, but like when we watch TV shows,
it's like I need to watch on that something.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (44:48):
Luckily she likes like government conspiracy and like assassin move
TV shows. You guys seen The Jackal, No, it's on Peacock,
I think. Okay. Do you know uh, Harry Potter and
The Fantastic Beasts. Yeah, the main character of that, he's
the assassin. Yeah, very cool, and he is a sniper
who just murders people. It is very fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
Other than that show, what are your favorite shows currently?
Speaker 7 (45:11):
I'm watching and Or right now, season two. I love
Star Wars. It's fantastic. And Or is great. And then
what was the other one? Oh, Shory Shorsy's fantastic Taylor
that Oh my gosh.
Speaker 8 (45:23):
A lot of short Zy doubters in this shop.
Speaker 7 (45:26):
But you guys don't like it.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (45:28):
Shory's fantastic, the humor behind it you don't like. Oh
I thank god, we do. We have one thing in common.
Let's see.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
No.
Speaker 7 (45:38):
But my favorite thing about Shorty is because I watched
that before i'd ever been to like before I went
to Montreal, and it's the whole show is like DM music. Yeah,
and then I didn't realize, like Canada is all EDM music.
In between every time out is just DM songs. It's fantastic.
It's literally a party in there. I'm just like, what,
that's sick.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
It's so sick.
Speaker 7 (45:56):
I'm just listening like Calvin Harris in between, like a
buck dropping what.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (46:01):
I love The structure of each episode is five minute
montage at the very beginning yep, then you know whatever
the plot is of that episode, last five minutes montage.
Speaker 9 (46:12):
It's so good and just revolving back door of jokes
that have been said for the.
Speaker 7 (46:18):
Sotted like there's nothing better than when he's like the
ref just chirping.
Speaker 8 (46:23):
Fourteen year olds kids in high school.
Speaker 7 (46:25):
My gosh, you roast those boys every single fucking time.
That's a He's a genius that show. And it's like
what eighteen minute episodes?
Speaker 3 (46:32):
Yeah, very sure you could get into it. Oh, dude,
Taylor really wants to get on. It would be fun.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
You just have one chirp from the bleachers and that's
your moment in shory.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Oh, do you know what it would be? Turn around
so I can know your name?
Speaker 7 (46:45):
No, I would So when I was when I was
in college, you had the Iowa rough Riders hockey team
that was in Cedar Apps, So it's like a twenty
five minute drive, and we would go to games for fun.
It is like a stadium called the Barn, and I
mean it'd be like forty percent filled and so like
tickets for like ten twenty bucks at the most, and
we would always we'd always sit behind the opposing goalie
(47:06):
and we would chirp him the entire game. And one
of my favorites was whatever his name was. I just
matched their mom on tender. She gave me a great
tug last night or something like that. That's always like
telling guys I matched their mom on tender.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
What's he saying saying? Lot, He's like, is that your
sister out there?
Speaker 7 (47:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (47:20):
They aked shut up, Porter, Shut up Porter. An epic
cameo would just be Suorsy on or I guess he's
coaching now. But you just hear a fuck you Shorsy
and then uh, fuck you George Kittle.

Well, I mean we can talk about how it went
with our first guest, Thomas. I thought it was pretty sweet. Dude,
drop bars. If you haven't watched that episode, go back
and watch. Yes, it was pretty cool. I feel like
with the guests that since this is our second one,
we're finding a little bit of a rhythm. It helps
us not have any dead air. And it actually does
sound like we're having fun. And in the comments, I think, uh,
(01:31):
let me back up. Jack started a really good segment.
So in the comments, if you want us to continue
the sandwich talk, drop it. Drop your favorite sandwich in

Speaker 6 (01:57):
Kissed about it?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So this was was it?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Two episodes ago, episode five, when we talked about me
not inviting Coop to the party with the interns, Coop
is actually coming.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
On the boat with us. He made We're dialed.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
We I'm making it up to him and we are
about to have a hell of a time. I said,
I had him at cliff jumping. It's going to be
it's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Insert picture of you guys on the boat together right there.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Insert screenshot of Mitch and Coop jumping off the cliff
together holding screenshot from the video holding hands, both mouth open,
about to get enter the water.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
I think there's a mandatory Instagram.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Collab that yeah, oh absolutely, And that's not like.
Speaker 9 (02:44):
A Sunday post that's midday on the water or does
it even mean anything?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Because Jack, what content works best on busting and like
you know, when we're traveling, you know, like collab real time?
Speaker 9 (02:58):
Yeah, in real time, and that's why we run our socials. Yeah,
so we do need a clap post for sure.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Absolutely, it'll be Cooper and I shaking hands on the
because it'll be a double decker boat.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It will be us too.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
At the stage the invite all it'll.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Be us to shaking hands, making up for it. And
then I was holding hands going off the uh, going
off to Johns.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Maybe a couple of beers deep something that I don't
know if they should have rubbed me the wrong way
or not. I'm not involved in the situation, but I did.
I did just find out that Coop is paying one
hundred dollars to go on the boat, and now I'm
wondering how much you also, no, I mean, you know,
miss paid is due, but when you're inviting somebody to
(03:43):
the boat, and we also did find out he was
your third option. I mean no, yes, but.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
We're not going to They're not turning against you.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Right now what they're trying to do here. I don't
mean to pick this, but when you guys, how do
y'all feel on the invite things? Cause I know, like
for rich people, say will or Taylor, if they have
a birthday party and they invite people out to dinner,
that they pay for everything they're rich. I know that
(04:14):
I'm not saying that you should do it, but I'm saying,
what level of money or what level of status do
you think you need to get to to be inviting
like people to dinner?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
And did Delaney have to pay for racing with your brother?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
No, But if Mitch would have made me pay or
not made me pay, like hey, like I got you,
I would have been like, I'm good, like like honestly
paying is like a plus because then I feel like
I'm part of like I'm just like everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Else paying a plus quote graphic.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
If I was the only one that would just be
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
No, yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Did, was like he showed me, proved like everyone's paid already.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah. I was like, hey, Coop, so let me see
the receipts. How do you make sure everyone's actually paying
one hundred dollars?
Speaker 6 (04:57):
I want to make three of the people.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
They say, no, do you want to go?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
No? I didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
I said, I want to make this up to you.
Would you like to come on the boat this weekend? However,
it is one hundred dollars, And I didn't want to
be like if you don't want, if you didn't want
to comment, that's completely fine. Like obviously one hundred dollars
is one hundred dollars, especially when we don't we're not paid, Like.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Does Coop have to bring his own alcohol or no, we'll.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Have We'll have like plenty of alcohol, saving money some stuff.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
No, I mean, Coops just gonna bring the vibes.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
He's gonna I mean, yeah, it's a he's a he's
an impact player when it comes to that is actually
the one thing you do need to bring sunscreen screen.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
No, I gotta go buy some y no sunscreen, somebody,
no sunscreen. I was apeeling for like the last two weeks. Yeah,
Memorial Weekend was bad. I turned red.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, we we gotta. I don't want you to get burnt.
And it's gonna be luckily we're.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Going where where we're going, Priest, Percy, Priest, you see
mid the water and then put it on, snap a flick,
it'll be in the water. I'm saying, if if all
of our fans are like five million listeners.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah even already, But the only thing that stinks is
like the uh oh yeah, like the hours or like
you can go at nine forty five one or like
four thirty, and the one o'clock slot was already like booked,
So I figured if we like at nine forty five
or at four, I feel like if four, we're gonna
be kind of like waiting all day, and I'm sure
(06:25):
like we'll be like drinking it stuff beforehand. We might
be a little bit too tuned up to go on
the boats. Like nine forty five, like I think that's
a good start, Plus it's supposed to be like ninety
five degrees on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I was really sold on nine yeah, yeah, yeah, and
like well a few hours.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah, I think we might be like one of the
earlier people out on the water, which like there's like
a little party cove where everybody kind of docks up.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
But I don't know if there's gonna be people out.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
There, it's gonna be packed.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
I feel like if yea more honestly, one even feels
late to get out on the water.
Speaker 8 (06:58):
Yeah, so I think you guys are in how long?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Was a great time? It's like three?
Speaker 5 (07:03):
The next the next ride is at one, so you
go off a nine.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Oh gotcha? So you have just that time soon to
be back with the boat.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah.

like this, Yeah, they have the shuttles. Uh, like the
shuttle service that'll they'll come pick us up at the

That because I still get chirps on the Internet like,
oh you rode a five three bro, check the proof
exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
There's there's tape. Check the tape. Never enough for the Internet.
I know.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Honestly, it's gonna sound like kind of dumb, but it
has to be like signing with FanDuel and like the
bonus and everything. I mean, that's I mean, that's life
changing money. But if we're gonna like do it like
an experience with like.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
We're talking about work experience.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yeah, yeah, forty The super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (09:41):

Speaker 6 (09:43):
Why because your Chiefs lost?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
No, it's just New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Everyone was sick.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, and like me and Sarm, I don't know how
you were, but I was like, obviously it's known that
I hate throwing up, so I was bugging the entire time.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
He was nervous to catch it if it was a bugger.

We all ate at the same place every single day?
Speaker 3 (10:05):

Speaker 6 (10:06):
And I went on we got something new on the
menu every day.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Honestly, the trip out to Oregon, Yeah, so sick. Even
though it's like I might be recency bias, but that
was that was awesome. I mean I didn't. The only
fall to whur I went to was the Alabama Tennessee game.
That was sick as well.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was stoked that you got to
go to Oregon because we've been before.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
And yeah, you got anyone's gonna love that place.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It's Mitch, especially the gear.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I was gonna say, especially me landing the Neon kid
in high school.
Speaker 6 (10:36):
We need that photo.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, no, Organ was that that was awesome, But personal
life probably getting my girlfriend shout out Brook.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Dang, that is just within the year.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Well, I I we started dating May right before my
birthday when I was twenty five. But like this, actually
I'll reset going out to San Diego with her, and
that was.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Because where were you, Steve.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Yeah yeah, ironically enough, everybody, I don't know if you
guys know, I'm a massive MIC fan, I'm a Steve
And ironically enough, Brook is from Stevenson Ranch, California, which
is like something premeditated.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, obviously I knew that before.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Trying to look them up E Street.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
But yeah, and then that we were able to go
out to San Diego, and then that was the first
time we said I love you to each other.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So you went to that same coffee spot that we
went to send me a photo.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, and so that was in year twenty six.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
That that was in year twenty six. We started dating
when I was twenty five.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
But how did you? Could you run us through? How
you said it?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
So like we uh, we do these things like we
when we were like talking and first started dating, we
did these things called like uh, I don't know if
it's like we're not really strangers, but know those things.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Dude. Literally on my TikTok the last probably three weeks
is Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, which side note, Hell ya,
that should never happen. Yeah, Benny Blanco, dude, the stories
that I hear of him, yeah really Yeah, if you
want to write for Benny Blanco, you can stay over there.
I want to.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
I kind of want to hear about this. Just what Yeah,
where the story?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Not that he's bad, he's just weird.
Speaker 10 (12:25):
He's greasy, he's caliber, right, I mean he's written though
like every hit for the last twenty years, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I don't know if that's the way he looks. But
also heard character things.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Okay, okay, it's not like it's not like he's a
like necessarily done anything bad.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
He's just like kind of like a weirdo.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I'd love I'd love to have him on the podcast.
We could talk about it. Yeah, Benny will put you to.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
The pod.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
But uh yeah, so we've done.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
We did like these questions where like you just kind
of like get to know each other. And then I
knew I was going to do it because like San
Diego is where she went to college.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
It's like she lived.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
There for like a year year and a half. And
we went into the harbor and we were like doing
these questions. I was like, all right, I have one
more question. And then I was like the question was, how.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Do you how do you know? How do you know
that you're in love?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
What's the question?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
And I was like I wanted to ask it, but
I kept getting like cold feet and I got scared.
So then I was like, all right, one more, all right,
one more, and then I finally did it and y'all
ran out of cards. No dead asked, and I was
I was like, so, how do you know that you're
in love with somebody?
Speaker 5 (13:35):
And then she like gave her answer, but she's and then.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
She was like, have you always been the first one
to say I love you in your relationship and I
was like, yes.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I have.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Too, and she's like, yeah, I've always been like I
have never said it first, but I want to say
it first to you. So I was like, you still
have my thunder but then yeah, So that's how we
said it. We were having like a picnic in the harbor,
got like pizza. It's like the perfect sons. I mean,
San Diego is just unreal.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But yeah, year you're twenty six, So is I love

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Will you moving? Moving in will be year twenty seven?
Moving in together will be year twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Mitch's been on Zillo recently broke if you're listening.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
She's been on Zillo with me.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
So here you go go.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
But yeah, you have a like there's a high ceiling
before we all are gonna live. You've lived in some
insane places.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
So, for those that don't know Mitch, how long you
live a minimum of three stories and Mitch's three years
in September, Mitch has lived here for three years. You've
been in what six places? No? This is my third.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
No, there was like three and six months.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, you moved like four times.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
No, So I was in my apartment building for six
months by myself, and then Foul moved down and then
I was there for another year. So I was in
my apartment for eighteen months, and then I was moved
into the house in East for uh yeah, literally four months.
And then from the East house we moved to this.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
House to the house. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Three three three places in three years.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Good deal.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
The one in East was.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Crazy, The one in East was This one is too
that he's in.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
I think the one in East was bigger.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I think the one in East was definitely bigger. But
it was made of paper.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Yeah, well it was also it wasn't just the house.
The decor at the one on East was crazy. It's
like a magazine.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It came it did come furnished.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Remember, but remember you pulled up and you had your
sleeves off.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
That was the that's this one right now one?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Remember that was when YouTube just and yeah I rolled up.
That wasn't But then you showed up again for the
fourth of July. Did you were you there for fourth
of July and you weren't there.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You was the only one. Yeah, you and Jill one time.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
Yeah, yeah, as soon as I rolled in that first
time with y'all to I walk in that living room,
I guess somebody's girlfriend lives here, Like this is crazy.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Yeah, it came furnished and I did not pick out
that house. That was Chlez and Parallel and Ryan. They
all picked out that house and then uh that three
of them lived in there, and then Paraleul moved out
to New Orleans, so then Fall and I moved in,
took his his spot, and like it saved Schlez and
Ryan money. It saved us money. So it was like
(16:28):
it was perfect, and Jared had been Jared was probably
there the most.
Speaker 11 (16:32):
Yeah, I was about to say side note as someone
that toured houses with you, Yes, the houses that Mitch
picks out, I mean, dude, we were literally touring like
you'd think like they're like Mark Mark Zuckerberg's like little property,
Like they were ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
But they weren't like we would look, we would do pricing,
and they weren't.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
No, and Mitch is also so organized on the house
search hit a Google sheet had it by price, a
rating system. But they're all penthouses.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Anywhere, oh exactly like the house that we're living in
right now is we have four people, and it was
I mean I don't really care.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It's forty five hundred for split between four people.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And Mitch actually does his research one point five mil oh.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
I think I think I looked it up and I
think it's like eight hundred.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Dang market going down street Parking took it down, yeah hill. Yeah,
so it's flooding.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
But it's so random because like you have like these
crazy houses and you just have like a little like
a house that's.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Been there for a minute, you know it right, just
the owners don't want to give it up.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
But yeah, that was when Jared and I me, Jared
and Fou were going to live together.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We toured a bunch of houses.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
We've We've toured at least like six or seven places,
and then Jared was like, listen, I'm gonna have to
pay four months double rent. I don't think this is
gonna work.
Speaker 11 (17:43):
Yeah, And Mitch tried to make it work. Mitch like
tried to get the cost of the house so low
that it would make up for it and the money
I would save alone. But like Mitch had this ship.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Like Mitch is about to be running the dormitory.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
Dude, Mitch had it planned out. The only reason it
was just made I was like this, just I can't
justify just wasting like, yeah, eight thousand dollars, yeah, to
live with y'all, like to double pay rent.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
But yeah, so that kind of knows.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
That kind of goes back to show how how much
how long Jared and I have known each other.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
But yeah, fire, great year, great year, great, great year ahead,
excited for twenty seven and what what's gonna come?
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I will do let's go, but it'll be it'll be
a good part.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Maybe since it's your birthday, we don't all do our
favorite sandwich, but we just get Mitch's favorite sandwich.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
For sure, since it's birthday.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Three yeah, one, two, three, yep, yes, yep.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
You got insert video photo.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Actually, what we need, Mitch is a photo of you
in your birthday post with a PB and J in
front of you with a candle in it. That would
be a man idea that or just fat cookie yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Sure, or in your works, in your picture, in your
picture with Coop just hold hold your hand out with
your picture with Coop and well Sora PBJ with the candle.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
That'd be guess I can't just edit it.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah, we saw the Chad GPT. I don't know if
y'all saw my story last night. It's not good for
the brain. When you use chad GPT a certain amount,
it's great your brain activity, it's it goes great pretty
much as opposed to when you're creating something on your own.
There's all the different stuff going on in the brain.
Just be weary out there of you chat. GPTs obviously useful,
(19:26):
but it don't abuse it.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
When drum the boat with Coop, take a picture with him,
but hold your hand out. We'll have Coop put a
PBJ with a candle in it.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
Yeah, I think, yeah, good.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Good.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
If you if there's another thing you want to bring,
you can bring a PPJ to that.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
That would be perfect. How long we've been going Jared
B twenty one?
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Probably good, Yeah, it's probably good.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
So we had obviously we had George Kittle.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
We got I mean it was I personally didn't ask
a lot of questions because I was intimidated.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
It's the first interview we've ever done. He did.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It was a rough
showing for me.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
He bodied me too.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
When I said, uh, I wish I was ready with
it because I was like cardinals were two and Agastya

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Main focal in the middle.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Yeah, you know, like you know those artists do murals
and stuff. You should do a back of the bus mural.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
That would I mean, if you under we're all under
your arms kind of.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Like holding you children.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Have you seen our logo?
Speaker 7 (22:29):
I think so it looks like back to the future ish. Yes,
that's actually right.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
That was cool.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Hey what about this, let's think about this since you

Speaker 6 (22:39):
The bus for the episode.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Oh like the graphics, yeah are cool. Yeah when people

just be me holding you guys all like my kids? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:51):
Oh yeah, maybe you're all the bus overhead press.
Speaker 9 (22:56):
Right now?
Speaker 7 (22:58):
I don't really Ben, I do dumbell bench press?
Speaker 6 (23:00):
Now, smart?
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Where are you got on there?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Like one for three d A R?
Speaker 6 (23:07):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (23:08):
What? Well, there's beef here too, because when George came
on the bus, he said, who's the guy with the
Cardinals shirt? I did? Yeah, I'll never.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Forget him though, right, Yeah, that's a lot on impression. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Also, they went to and overs San fran last year.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
They did.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
They did also on the years before that. I'm you're
this you're probably a.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
New fan to the team.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's okay fan, Yeah, who's your favorite player? Who's your
favorite player of all time?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Larry fits as you should be he's a monster. I
ran into him last summer in Minnesota and he was
bigger than me. D Yeah, he was like six four
two fifty five and he doesn't even look like he's
that big.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I was like, you're a monster.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Who's your favorite player of all time? My favorite player
of all time? Growing up, it was Ricky Williams. Ricky
Williams was my favorite player. Actually, I got to talk
to him on was It Hey k Adams Show, like
he was the next guest after me, and I just okay, okay,
I just sat on the show. I was like, I
just like not hang up and like sit here for
five minutes. He's like, yeah, for sure. And I just
(24:12):
talked to him. He was like, oh, you dude, you're
a legend.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Ricky Williams was one of my favorites. And then probably
like Brian er Lacker or like Dallas Clark classic he's
an tight endy.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
What does it feel like when you grew up in
like this league where the Titan was more blocking position.
Now you guys have kind of revolutionized that with the
position and you get to hang out with the Dallas
Clarks and all these like massive people.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
You probably grew up playing.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
With so fucking sick, Like we have Jeremy Shockey coming
this year to tighten you and like blown away so
wid I'm so excited. Like I literally watched his highlight
videos before a couple of games last year. Just got
me amped. So like, he's fantastic. Hang out Dallas Clark
is always a great time because he's an Iowa guy,
like just getting to kind of connect to the old
school players who like because I mean, yeah, like twenty
years ago, everything it was just like a you're the
(24:56):
six offensive lineman, right like, and if you were a
smaller guy, you didn't make the league. And now it's
just evolved into like, yeah, big guys, you got small guys,
got the guys in the middle like me who do everything.
It's just like the positions just you get to do everything,
and you do everything at.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
A high level.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
So it's I'm really annoying.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
It's got to be one of the best positions. And
we've talked about it probably our collective favorite position group
because of the vibes.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Oh dude, right, yeah, because Titans one your friends with
the offensive lineman, you're friends with the wide receivers, the
running backs, the quarterbacks, all the defensive players, like you're connected.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
To everybody, not just score touchdowns.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
I get a score touchdowns, I get a run routes,
I got a run block. I get a pass pro.
I get a pass pro defensive ends that make one
hundred million dollars, Like I enjoy doing everything. Some Titans
throw passes.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
Would you rather catch a game winning TD or pancake
flop one of the best d n's in the league.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
The fact that you added the past defensive end the league.
I might take that one at this point. Yeah, if
it was just a normal pancake, I would take a
touchdown because stats is what get you paid. True, But
no pancaking like a like Perennial All Pro guy.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
That's a dream.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
And the good news is you guys won the game.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Still, so so.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You just see George getting up laughing. I do that
NFL SoundBite would just be George laughing though, I just
I cackle.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Dude.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
I'm just like, I can't believe you let me do
that to you.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But would you be a little worried? No, I'm saying,
but everything that comes after, like hopefully it happens at
the end of the game.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
No, No, I will do it early because then you
just discourage him because I'm in his head for the rest.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Of the dame talk.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Yeah, you talk who Like I'm telling you every D
line room. You can ask any D line in this
their defensive cord, their defensive line coach is going, don't
care who this tight end is. You're gonna beat his ass.
We don't get blocked by tight ends. All this X
y Z, and then he has to sit on Monday
and watch himself get pancacked by a tight end that's hard.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
To beat, and it'll live forever on the internet.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (26:43):
I'm also in his head for the rest of his life.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
So when you're talking shit, are you more of like
a mean talk kind of guy, are you more like
just kind of like fun, friendly kind of jabs just
laughing at.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Him when you're ninety percent of it is friendly jabs,
and then ten percent of it, like if you say
something really stupid to me, I it's quick trigger.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
At this point, I.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Like, I can't remember. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
name the kid even I'm picturing his face in his
jersey and his name right now, but I'm not gonna
name him green. Anyways, he was a rookie and like
I had to play. I had like a chip to
like a release and I'm like the check down route
on it, and I chip him, and as a release,
he like just grabs me by the collar and throws
me down to the ground and I turn around.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I look at him, and he like.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Turns around and he goes, sit the fuck down, you
pussy bitch. I looked at him, and then the flag
comes in because it's an obvious holding call, and I
looked at him. I was like, hey, hey, turn around,
so I know what your fucking name is. Buddy. I
was like, who are you talking to right now? No
one here knows you are. And then his coach is like,
get over here, and he didn't play the rest of
(27:44):
the game. I said, yeah, go back to your fucking coach.
Sit on the fucking bench and think about.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
What you've done. That's one of the best trips. Like
who even are you?
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Juice does that all the time to people. It's so funny,
Like he does it to everybody goes, who are you?
Nobody knows I'm like, oh, like, I don't put like that.
I've only said like once or twice. Most people aren't
like dickheads to me because I'm pretty friendly, but like
for someone to say, like, sit down, pussy bitch, I'm like,
as a rookie, yea, who the fuck are you?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Bud? Is there any defensive guys that are hilarious to
play against? Like every week it's not so much you're
looking forward to the match up, but you're like, Yo,
this guy is entertaining.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 8 (28:21):
You're looking for those highlights.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Yeah, that's a really good question. There's a couple dbs
that are always fun to go against because they just
chirped the whole time and then like all run at
them to block them, and they run away from me
and they go, man, get the fuck away from me.
I don't I don't want to know these problems. Those ones
are always fun. Like, uh, there's a couple like d
Linen that are always fun to play against. JJ Watt, No,
TJ Watt. JJ Watt was really fun to play against
when he was with the Cardinals a couple of times
(28:44):
because he just talks the whole game. And then, uh,
TJ's fun too because we chipped on him every single play. No,
this is we played them in Pittsburgh two years ago.
We won the game, but like, we chipped them every
play except for three plays, and on those three plays
he had three sacks, damn and liqually, but we chipped
him all three the whole game. And he's so mad
(29:04):
the whole game. He's like, dude, leave me alone. I'm like, never,
it's like your mind, baby, your mind. Thost conversations always
really fun, all right.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
I know we can talk about football all day, but
I feel like that's probably Yeah.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
Are you an amusement park or a water parky water park?
Speaker 9 (29:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
I get I get crazy motion sickness on roller coasters,
but I still do them because they're really fun.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
What was the last water park that you visited?
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Oh, dude, couldn't even tell you. Probably like ten years ago,
probably somewhere in Iowa.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Well, okay, So we've been flowing this idea around.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
We've got these interns. You might have breezed by them
at the end of the summers. I've run it by
will and we want to take them to Nashville Shores.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
I don't know if you've ever been to Shores.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
It's a pretty you know, B tier water park, b
tears really giving them flowers.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
That's awesome.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
We're going to take everyone in the shop there at
the end of the summer. You know, it might be
too close to training camp, but if you're around him,
the invite is extended if you want to come rip
a water park.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I love water parks on people watching as you could imagine.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
It's fantastic. Are you kidding? Mesion stands hit different too
at water parks, dipping dots.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
We all got to wear goggles the entire time.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
I'm gonna wear ski goggles.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Oh yeah, just incredible.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
Oh I'm in for that. That sounds like a great
time water park. There's nothing like a good water park
as a kid, Like, what's the hotel that has a
water park in at the Wolf Lodge? Great Wolflage, shout
out those guys, like there's nothing. I had to stay
there one time, like a year or two ago, like
the hotel books fell through and there's a great Wolf
Lodge in the same city. I was like, I went
(30:37):
down the water side once. It was fantastic there. It
was like a Tuesday afternoon, no one was there.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
I was like, this is awesome.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
As far as professional fandom in the state of Iowa, like,
what are the teams of that state.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
So basically, did you have a choice. If you live
in Iowa, you have you're an Iowa football fan. Probably
you're not an i a state fan, and then you
either go to Minnesota, you go to Wisconsin and the city,
or you go to Chicago. Like those are your four
that you pick, and like that's just kind of how
it is. My dad was a Bears fan, so I
became a Bears fan and a Cubs fan like my
(31:15):
dad's dad was a Vikings fan. I have a ton
of friends who are I mean, most of my wife's
entire family with diehard Packers fans, So that was that
was a fun transition to get them to be like, hey,
stop cheering for the Packers.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Stop it.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
And they've all done a great job since then. Now
they all have nine or stuff. But yeah, no, I
I grew up a Bears fan.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I couldn't imagine living in a state and like having
a pool for a state team in another state. It's
it's really weird, Like do you have like Chicago's on
like two it's like a two hour drive. That's not
bad at me. Ask where he's from, Let's know, where
are you from.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I'm Pennsylvania.
Speaker 7 (31:52):
You're from Pennsylvania, So what you are? What a Patriots
Yankees fan?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
And then like the Lakers to it gets better, Only
I don't have any I'm a football fan.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I don't. I don't really care about the other sports.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Okay, sure, but.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I'm an Ohio State fan and the Kansas City Chiefs fan.
So basically the Yankees.
Speaker 8 (32:11):
And the yeah, the New Age Yankees.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
Yeah, yeah, no, that's that's totally fine. And you live
in Tennessee and you're from Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Yeah, remember last year when we when you were on
the bus and we recorded longer.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, this is last year you guys when you came on.
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Yeah, we were you were leaving for I was trying
trying what happened?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I missed? You know? You know Mike?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Yeah, he's like my favorite artist.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I'm like a.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Massive missed it missed it.
Speaker 7 (32:48):
That sucks for you.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yeah, but I'm seeing him July fifth when he comes here,
So that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I just fifth Georgia.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
July fifth Saturday.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
That's a Saturday Saturday's Oh for July Fridays, I'm.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Gonna be on the river probably is where I'm gonna be.
Speaker 8 (33:04):
What rivers usually going out towards.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
The South Harpeth. No, my sisters bought a cabin with
river access, and like last year, we set up all
the all like the pong tables in the river because
it's all like two feet deep in some parts. So
we're playing beer pong and beer ball like in the water.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
That was a fantastic Those are good days when you
float the Harpeth.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Oh, those are great days.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
So the water like at that point too. In July,
it's like seventy five eighty degrees.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Where is the heart?
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (33:32):
Just west, Just go west twenty minutes you'll run into
the Harpeth. Just drive off the bridge.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And untapped are in Nashville.
Speaker 7 (33:38):
Still Kingston Springs, Baby, yeah, I love it out there.
It's great, hard to beat. I want to open up
either a bar or a sandwich shop in Kingston Springs.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
What about both?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
We get the interns work there daytime, subs nighttime.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
But very interesting.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
The tough thing is that I think there's like one
family that basically owns everything in Kingston Springs and they're
not they don't really need to sell because they sure
they don't need to.
Speaker 9 (34:01):
Can you walk a step through step what is George
Kittle's favorite sandwich, whether it's your creating it or you're's
your own favorite sandwich spot.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Oh, let's see. First thing is if I'm going to Subway,
the Subway melt is my favorite sandwich. Quizno's Chicken Carbonera,
shit's gas or the chicken honey Mustard.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
That one's gas.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
Jimmy John's Club, Lulu's so good toasted dude. They just
started doing that.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
It's a raise special. It's so good.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
It is a place called Ikes Sandwiches out in the
out in California, and they it's called It's fun because
all the names are completely random, like they name a
lot of them after athletes in the Bay. But they
have one it's called name of the Girl I'm dating
is the name of the sandwich. And it's like shredded
chicken with like some it's like it's basically like a
Yum yum sauce and it's like the Dutch crunch bread,
(34:49):
like the super Crunchy one. I have that one at
least twice a week. That shit is so good.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Have you tried Chiba hunt?
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Yeah, Chiba Hut dude, one of my old one of
my Carrie Hyder former defensive en for the Niners. She
owns like four Cheaba huts. Sounds like, do good for
you making money?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (35:04):
Did I think they're all in college towns too?
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Oh yeah, he's we hit the one in Eugene. Yeah,
it was. There's one here. There's a Cheaba hut here, Yeah,
recently this.
Speaker 9 (35:15):
I don't know if you're into designer sandwiches, but like,
you know, something's gonna maybe cost about sixteen seventeen dollars.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
What is it?
Speaker 9 (35:21):
But there's a place called Smoking Oaks and it's off
of Wedgwood and Eighth Avenue, and it's like partially a
butcher shop, and then they also make some like really
good sandwiches.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
And if you're ever there, it's, uh, it's definitely worth it.
Speaker 7 (35:34):
Basically order your meats, then you get a sandwich, and
you eat your sandwich while you wait.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
For your meats.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
Exactly. Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yeah. Have you been a room forty in Nashville?
Speaker 7 (35:44):
I feel like I have. Is that like a really
small restaurant. No, it's different.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
No, it's a room for these nuts. No. I definitely
ate there.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
I definitely ate that you killed.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
It's brutal because I got robbed with it on the pod.
That's a good one. I remember that one.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
They fuck you like you do me a favor, Shut
the fuck up.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, that's class I got got.
Speaker 6 (36:08):
We do have a pretty epic moment moment here. If
do you have pouches in right now?
Speaker 7 (36:13):
I do have a zimbabwe in Okay, and you spit
I spit pouches.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
That is a huge w for Jared Beeman over there.
Speaker 11 (36:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Oh, I get like the worst heartburn. I get the
worst heartburn from it. It's also like there's no way
that's healthy to swallow it for your gut lining, So
like why would I? I did shoot a back over
twelve years, so that's not healthy for you either.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
But it is delicious, damn.
Speaker 7 (36:41):
I'll say this one of my favorite things. I went
to Uh the Dead and coat the sphere. Shout out
my hat, Shout out your hat. I went one time
with it was me, Bosa McCaffrey, Juice and Jake Tung
just one of our tight ends. Golfed all day, went
to Grateful Dead. Had so much fun that I went
the following weekend. Convinced my wife to go again, so
then it was me my wife Bosa went again fantastic,
(37:03):
and we brought a couple off Linemon Ben Bartch and
Nixickel and we got to meet John Mayer the second time.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Dang.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
And well, first we walk into his room and he's
just hanging out with Kenny Chesney, which was pretty sick.
And my wife knows Kenny Chesney really well because she
met him like ten years ago. She's found to like
fourteen of his shows. Yeah, but John Mayer, he doesn't drink.
And we're like, well, what's like your vice now? And
it's Kodiak Winter Green, which is the same tobackguard that
I chewed for twelve years, and he's a gadu. He
(37:30):
was like, I just he goes. I just put in
half a can like for like ten minutes and he
takes it out. I'm like, oh my gosh. I was like,
that's gasoline in the fucking lip.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Damn.
Speaker 8 (37:40):
Kodiak is not for the fane of.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Far No, it is not.
Speaker 7 (37:42):
I remember I chewed Kodiak in front of Luke Comb's
and he's shooting Copenhagen and he was like, you are
putting gasoline in your lip. I'm like sorry that I'm
a man and you're not.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
How insane. Is this fear though?
Speaker 7 (37:53):
It's one of the cools.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I went last year. Jack went recently. Obviously you went
in the same time.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Yeah, I went the weekend after you. You in and
see him see what you were just talking about.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
I guess when when I my wife together, I wouldn't
sick of you what it told.
Speaker 9 (38:07):
Me I was out of Kodiak, so I wouldn't have
felt good going that was.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
It's an experience though, it's I think it really depends
on where your seats are too, because if you're like
under because it's like was you have the ground floor
then like the one the one hundred level, but it
goes up and there's a deck over it, and if
you're like underneath the deck and you can't look up,
it's like that's like that's not you're not if you're
tucked under, it's just like you see some of it,
(38:32):
but it's not as cool. But like if you've kind
of hurt your heart, if you ever go to the surve,
you want to be either on the ground floor, you
want to be in the two hundred level. That's what
because big Cat he goes all the time, and uh,
but like it literally.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Is it's like an egg and it just goes up
over your head.
Speaker 7 (38:45):
And like the way like they can make the room
feel like it's a small little room, or yeah, they
can drop it down you feel like you're in a box,
or they open it up and it.
Speaker 6 (38:53):
Goes up forever.
Speaker 7 (38:55):
It's one of the coolest experiences I've ever been.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 7 (38:58):
Anytime the Grateful Dead is there, all go again.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
With your like status of celebrity. What is the coolest
thing that has just fallen in your lap, some kind
of experience like getting to meet John.
Speaker 7 (39:08):
Mayer That that is a I mean, like, the only
reason we got went to Grateful Dead was because Bosa
got a random invite when he was because he lives
in Fort Lauderdale to what's the Electric Music Festival in
Miami DC uh or what is it? It's some big one.
It's either e DC or something. But his favorite artist
is dead Man, and so he had like a random
(39:31):
invite to go watch Dead Mount perform on like on
a Sunday night, and he went and like Dead Mound's
head of security is friends with the Grateful Dead, Bob Weir,
who's like the the last guy of yeah, the og.
He's friends with his head of security and he's like
a Niners fan and he sent it to him, connected
him and he goes, you guys want to come to
the sphere next week, and so then he brought all
of he brought us and then we had so much
(39:52):
fun they let us come back again. So like that's
the reason we got to go like shit like that.
When that happens, you're like they put us in like
one of the sweets. It was just an absolute who.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Of the time.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Yeah, I mean, you guys playing in same friend that's
where they're from.
Speaker 7 (40:04):
So I feel like dude and Dude the Grateful Dead.
They have a three day show are you going to get?
At the Golden State Park and.
Speaker 8 (40:11):
Billy Strings, Sergil Simpson Tryastasia first.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
The first day of the show. We have a body
that we have an off day the next day from
training camp, so we have a group of guys that
are gonna go up for the show amazing, and then
Morgan Wallens there the next day too.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I think Thomas Edwards plays a couple of days after
that up there.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
He plays that weekend at the at the Gorge.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Shout out to the security guys. The security guys are
always loveless people.
Speaker 7 (40:36):
Plugs, They're just dialed and it's like sick to like,
we're watching this, We're watching the show, and it's right
to the left is his main security guy.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
His name's what it is his name? Oh yeah, that's
his name.
Speaker 7 (40:49):
He is a big ass white dude, yoked out of
his mind. I'm like, you could kill me with one punch,
and he just could not be any more chill finger.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
What does a George Kittle festival fit look like?
Speaker 7 (41:04):
Oh uh, it just depends on where I'm going. My
wife likes me to wear some designer stuff once in
a while. I'll wear a Gucci lou Vuitton once in
a while, But majority of the time I'm wearing like
either a Lord of the Rings shirt or WW shirt
jersey with like Jeane shorts and nice sneakers. Yeah. Like,
I go every year at this festival in Napa Valley
called Bottle Rock, and it's like every type of music
(41:24):
you got em, you got country, you got rock, you
got pop. Like this year's headliners. One of the nights
was Benson Boone yea fall by Just and Timberlake, and
then the next night was like Noah Khan, So like
that was phenomenal, but like up there, it's like the
it's the cleanest festival I've ever been to. Like everything's turfed.
It's got all like Napa Valley food and wine type
(41:46):
stuff they take really good care of. Like if you
like get the nice passes and stuff so liked, you
could wear like the nicest fit ever and you won't
get any dirty at all.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
It's so bougie.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (41:57):
I've not been a bonder this last year looked tough.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Yeah, Garrett.
Speaker 9 (42:02):
Garrett went up for thirty minutes and then literally gets canceled,
turns right back around head.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
I saw the.
Speaker 7 (42:08):
Videos of people that were camping there. Yeah, yeah, GA
was brutal.
Speaker 9 (42:11):
Lot they need They got to do a lot of
infrastructure kind of re situating. The drainage system is just
impossible to get around. But luckily me and Garrett have
been upwards of ten times over the course since we
were like eighteen was the best person.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
It's hard because Tom Petty played one time and like
that's one where you're just like I got to see
Tom pett Yeah, But then you have ones where I
mean like red hot Chili Bebers.
Speaker 9 (42:34):
Last year was phenomenal. But like I remember again with
Elton John one year and like and everyone loves like
an Elton John tune or two. But you see him perform,
you're like, oh, I understand why this guy is the
state of.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Who he is an icon.
Speaker 6 (42:47):
Yeah, and so, but.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Everything's been like some great like back in the day
orl grime shows where you're like, yeah, throwing down.
Speaker 6 (42:54):
Absolutely, so there's a good mix out there for sure.
Speaker 7 (42:57):
Definitely that's a I guess a song Blona is a
bottle rock that was last year.
Speaker 8 (43:03):
He probably strings out for a song, which is awesome.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Yeah, Post is he's a he's a fun We got
to get him on this show.
Speaker 8 (43:10):
Post Malone center back back of the bus.
Speaker 7 (43:13):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 8 (43:14):
Yeah, I mean bud Light.
Speaker 9 (43:15):
Well, I guess we can start with busting and then
kind of segue because bud Light.
Speaker 7 (43:19):
Yeah, you have five minutes. Yeah, it'll be nice and
easy for you.
Speaker 6 (43:23):
There was a brief reference to l O t R.
With the T shirt. Yeah, what's your Love of Lord?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
The rings look like.
Speaker 7 (43:30):
Oh, I mean I just got a brand new tattoos.
Oh my god, yeah, thank you. I got the words
of the ring on top. He's wearing the Ring down
here too. I love Lord of the Rings like my dad.
That was my bedtime story when I was a kid.
My dad would read me the books. So yeah, I
am obsessed with Lord of the Rings. It's one of
my favorite. It's the best trilogy of all time that compares.
(43:51):
It's what what it won like seventeen losers like, come on,
it's the best.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
The best ever. I need to watch him.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Yeah, I recently I've seen.
Speaker 7 (44:00):
So you're from Pennsylvania, like Ohio State and Kansas City.
You've never seen Lord of the Rings. What do you
bring to the bus besides the idea of it? Sorry,
the back of the bus.
Speaker 8 (44:08):
He doesn't bring invites, you.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Know, I don't want to hear it. Actually I don't
really bring.
Speaker 7 (44:12):
So what I would do is just watch Lord of
the Rings.
Speaker 9 (44:14):
Extended Sydney Cuts and we're gonna stream it all one day.
Speaker 7 (44:19):
I watched all three extended cuts every year, no matter
what you have to right after the front fifteen. It's
fun too.
Speaker 6 (44:26):
I did not as much as the original.
Speaker 7 (44:29):
They're not as good, but they're still good.
Speaker 8 (44:31):
Rings of Power I watched TV.
Speaker 7 (44:35):
I watched like a season a half of it is
where I'm at right now.
Speaker 8 (44:37):
Yeah's been harder for me to watch.
Speaker 7 (44:39):
Not a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, which
is okay. She still lets me watching stuff. I shall
watch it with me, but like when we watch TV shows,
it's like I need to watch on that something.
Speaker 3 (44:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (44:48):
Luckily she likes like government conspiracy and like assassin move
TV shows. You guys seen The Jackal, No, it's on Peacock,
I think. Okay. Do you know uh, Harry Potter and
The Fantastic Beasts. Yeah, the main character of that, he's
the assassin. Yeah, very cool, and he is a sniper
who just murders people. It is very fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
Other than that show, what are your favorite shows currently?
Speaker 7 (45:11):

Star Wars. It's fantastic. And Or is great. And then
what was the other one? Oh, Shory Shorsy's fantastic Taylor

I thank god, we do. We have one thing in common.
Let's see.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
No.
Speaker 7 (45:38):
But my favorite thing about Shorty is because I watched
that before i'd ever been to like before I went
to Montreal, and it's the whole show is like DM music. Yeah,
and then I didn't realize, like Canada is all EDM music.
In between every time out is just DM songs. It's fantastic.
It's literally a party in there. I'm just like, what,
that's sick.
Speaker 3 (45:55):
It's so sick.
Speaker 7 (45:56):
I'm just listening like Calvin Harris in between, like a
buck dropping what.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (46:01):
I love The structure of each episode is five minute
montage at the very beginning yep, then you know whatever
the plot is of that episode, last five minutes montage.
Speaker 9 (46:12):
It's so good and just revolving back door of jokes
that have been said for the.

ref just chirping.

That's a He's a genius that show. And it's like
what eighteen minute episodes?
Speaker 3 (46:32):
Yeah, very sure you could get into it. Oh, dude,
Taylor really wants to get on. It would be fun.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
You just have one chirp from the bleachers and that's
your moment in shory.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Oh, do you know what it would be? Turn around
so I can know your name?
Speaker 7 (46:45):
No, I would So when I was when I was
in college, you had the Iowa rough Riders hockey team
that was in Cedar Apps, So it's like a twenty
five minute drive, and we would go to games for fun.
It is like a stadium called the Barn, and I
mean it'd be like forty percent filled and so like
tickets for like ten twenty bucks at the most, and
we would always we'd always sit behind the opposing goalie
(47:06):
and we would chirp him the entire game. And one
of my favorites was whatever his name was. I just
matched their mom on tender. She gave me a great
tug last night or something like that. That's always like
telling guys I matched their mom on tender.
Speaker 2 (47:17):

sister out there?
