Speaker 4 (01:31):
Another think you can touch and know how it feels
immediately is the Chevy Silverado presented by We're presented by
your good friends of Chevy. There's a reason why I've
never known a tear talk on best pickup trucks, and
that's because Bust with the Boys. At Bust with the Boys,
there's only one truck, and that is the Chevy Silverado.
Why is that, I don't know. Maybe it's the eight
cameras on the truck with fourteen different views. Maybe it's
that when you're driving with your family to and from

(01:53):

feel safe knowing that the Chevy Silverado is taking care

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Of mouthful, and I was on my phone because I
was searching some data. We talked about the painhandling, just
having a good reminder at the top of the episode
for people to subscribe, and why it's important, which I'm
sure we'll hit on in our in our meeting tomorrow
when kind of de briefing the last week. Sam Marrill's
episode is sitting at like sixty something thousand of views,
fifty million the subscribers we added last week three hundred

(03:10):
and seventy two. Now for perspective two weeks ago, Rich Eisen,
that episode's at like one hundred and fifty thousand, that
is currently sitting at two hundred and sixty one new subscribers.
So just the simple call to action, and maybe it's
it's just reminding the boys, like, hey, just make sure
you're subscribed to the episode. It does help. So the panhandling,
just the request, I think I think helps a little bit.

(03:32):
What we got JP back. JP's back from his honeymoon.
The man, oh, he got the ring.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
He's seen the field, hit a full body cramp this morning,
He's seen the.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Field as clear as he ever has. I think, in
my JP would be a fair assessment.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Fair assessment. Everything that everybody is thinking is true.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yes, that's at all. Let's go JP.

Speaker 5 (03:56):

So where should we start, fellas, Let's.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Start a JP's wedding. I want to talk about that, okay,
I want to talk about your experience, JP. How was it?
How'd you feel? Man?

Speaker 1 (04:56):
So on the rehearsal dinner day was pretty stressful. The
caterers got the like two three hours late.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
How was your old man?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
He was hot? Y'all saw him. He he was He
was holding it together for the people for the most part.
But I think he found himself by by himself for
a little while where he got to let off some
steam to a few people.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
If a dog was by him, it would have been
bad to be.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
The dog exactly shout out Kai. But once the food,
once we sat down, did the speeches, had the food.
The food was incredible. My parents did an awesome job.
My mom, she has three boys. We've never the biggest
party we've thrown is probably one of my birthday parties
at the pool and the biggest coordinating is like getting

(05:37):
enough popsicles in pizza and pizza and so they did
a great job. They were stressed out. I cannot say
thank you enough to my parents. And then the pool
party after y'all two people, three people on here got
to experience a pool party and that was that was peak.
I don't know if y'all talked about.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
It, but we talked about it a little bit.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah up, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I mean it's just like if if you're wondering, like
who I am? Like that to me, man, it was.
It was awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
The relays, the contest the boys in the beginning because
I didn't get in the water first because I saw
some of your friends that were playing physical fighting, just
over the volleyball and they're like, well wall, you know,
get out of Yeah, it's a little too rough for
me out there right now. I gotta warm up a
little bit. Then the storm came and even though everybody scattered,
like the moment the storm was happening, like just that

(06:29):
little short video where your boy catches.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
The right I think Evan caught it. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
You see the the wind happening so hard that you
kind of see the water moving.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
It was a dream, dude, it was a dream. And yeah,
your five second video captured like the perfect essence of it.
I wish we had the video of the relays smoked
well twice, but Jack and I we came away with
the dub and one of them, my brother.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Came away with dub.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
And the second one you were on team with my brother.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, the second.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
One, when he first came in, we took him on
our team.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, will fall started in that one.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
Okay, fall start.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
You went before? Yeah, you went before the What I
was what I was.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
Trying to do is Timey hitting the water on Gough smart,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yeah, that's using the rle serie advantage. It's a smart move.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Yeah, and what the the rumors are? Here was the
phrase used if JP even beat me, It was that
was a photo.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Finish after you got a head start.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
From Aquaman himself, the guy who claims that he's the
fastest swimmer of all time.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
That's not true. Jack is faster than me.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Yeah, you guys never did race. There's part of me
that thinks, like, maybe you don't want to know who
would win.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
I have said Jacket is faster than me.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Second before you said that, I was trying to get
something going.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
It's not about that, it's not about the thread time.
I do feel like, you know, we found out. I
got to find out like how competent I was like
swimming against Like I mean you you had some swimmers there.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, he did, Tyler, Joe, Alan Jack, my brother. He
made the final one.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Of the four.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
That's like, hey, let's just do a one race, good on, good,
down and back. With just fifty meters. Jack was holding
his own until probably the last fifteen meters.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
And I will say from the camp barstool stuff, it's
like I I was about to catch a full body
cramper I was in. I could not get comfortable because
my quads are so on fire, and I will say,
just to clear the air. I was laying on the table.
Garrett Can attests to this, and I was being very
serious too, because I was hurting, like my oh, my arms,

(08:36):
my tricess, my back and my quads more than anything.
And I was like, hey, I just want to take back.
I said some things about Michael Phelps a couple of
weeks ago, and I'll be honest, I found out a
little bit more about the swimming, the swimming physicality.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Of it all, best full body work.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
To see Will in that position.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
I was hurting.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
You had a full week of like going through stuff.
You have the toe the first day and the next
day it was.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
The toes getting a little better. Yeah, but do you
want to see it?

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah? I do, because Will jam this till we were
playing softball White.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Sox daya bro it.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Oh it's got a lot better. Yeah, maybe just a jam.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Then I was putting the I was putting in the
old little foot spot that I got at home. Yeah,
thrown some ice every now and then there, trying to
just move it.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
The thing that surprised me the most about this toe
is that it didn't bother you sleeping at night because
toe pain. Yeah, and the blood float of toes.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
And your heart beat.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yes, yea, he didn't have it, but yeah, it really was.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
It was kind of fun sleeping in those bunks. It
was I was comfortable. I don't know about you. I
know you're a big cat, You're a big guy.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
I was so tired at the end of each day
that it was. It was fine, but like, it was
the first weekend that actually, like my back was hurting
all weekend. Yeah, my knee was swollen all week in.
My back was swoll a weekend. I was like, that
was a good time.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
But Taylor almost slept like twelve hours one night.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah. Yeah, that's the first day I like went And
just the problem was I got too hot when we
were fishing, and I was like, so I was, let
me go look at my phone for a little bit.
Phone and I was like, I'm not getting up. I
got up to brush my teeth and then I went
to bed. That was it, man, I was I was cooked,
absolutely cozy. K Bartol was it absolute blast. Let's talk

(10:12):
about after the wedding.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Winners and losers of the wedding, because I got a
couple for JP losers, I.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Got a loser.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Let's hear him.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
I got a loser too, what's your loser. I don't
know the lady. She was wearing a whitish dress, like
a pearl colored dress, and she had a little purse
with her. That's really all the I got for a
blonde haired lady wearing white. Yes, but I love the
idea of open seating. However, it was a little bit

(10:45):
of a chaot ideal me Will Charro went and got
our food and there was a table and I sit
down and the lady in the dress is like, you're
sitting in my seat. I was like, oh, I'm sorry.
And then I walked over to the other side of
where Charle was and there was her purse right there,
and I noticed it was the Purst letter because she
was holding it. Later and so I noticed that she
was taking a couple of seats, and then you ended

(11:05):
up getting up and they moved into your seats. So
I ended up just walking away. That's really my only
loser of the wedding. That's my loser of the wedding
is being.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
I love how you identified a person, because my loser
is going to be the open seating concept, the standing
the I think A winner is the buffet phenomena huge,
incredible food.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
The things were unbelievable, flinters out there just trying to
get food everywhere.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
I got, like, I got like a little plate. But
I saw photos of the spread after Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Ohoh, even my wedding when I didn't get to have
like the appetires that were going around because we had
to go take photos and everything and they were all
kind of gone. When I was back, I was like, fuck, man,
I feel you on that.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
The sushi God, hey, yeah she was good too. And
then you had so much the ch and the eel
sauce in tubes, which is great because that's a great
little thing that you always get someone the sushi, and
you wish there was a little bit more of you
feel kind of weird asking for those things.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, you could drench that shit, no problem. It was
so good.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Another a winner, the uh, the priest, the pastor, Yes,
rust David job storytelling that.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Pissed me off, but it was really good. He did
a really good job.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
The camaraderie at the toward the end of the night,
like when you got to kind of you know, you
were saying hi to everybody, but you get to enjoy
your moments with the boys. You guys are having a
great time throwing you up the ale. Oh that's a winner.
But my loser was the open seating because a couple
of reasons. One the one Taylor mentioned like if you're
if you don't know a lot of people, like I

(12:35):
knew our crew, and I'm sure other people from other
parts of your life are like kind of trying to
figure it out who's who and everything else. But when
you don't know where to go, it's almost better to
be told, hey, this is where you're sitting, this is
where you're going, because then it kind of takes the
pressure off of a situation where it's like there wasn't
a whole lot of tables. You had a few standing tables,
so you're trying to figure out, man, how can I
sit down and eat all this? Because it was good grub,
Like every different station.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
You' getting multiple plays too, so the whole standard had
like three.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
Different buffets going on. It was great.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
It was all the time, Trivia, Gregg's, crab cakes.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
And It's And another reason it was a loser is
because I could not hear Sidon's dad giving the speech,
and I was low key getting a little fired up
because the back half, if you're sitting down at your table,
you kind of know when somebody's talking and everybody's quiet
and watching, but nobody really knew that it was speech
time and you couldn't get that. You couldn't hear anything
because the back half of the room they were like

(13:24):
partying in Mingland.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
And every for sure.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
So that was the only thing that was the only
loser that I was really bummed.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
If we're not identifying individuals, I have one more loser
of the wedding, and I don't want to feel like
piling on wedding. It was a great wedding. It was
a It was a great wedding. But because I knew
how excited you were for your walkout song, I was
bummed out for you. There wasn't that people. There wasn't
like one individual like the party planner going hey, everybody,

(13:51):
they're gonna they're walking in. Everybody stand over here, because
I didn't really know you were walking into because the
one was I knew is I saw you, like, hey,
we're about to walk out. So I walked over and
it was like our little crew and then maybe like
you know, fifteen twenty other people. But the rest of
the way the room was set up was like L
shaped and that on the other side there was like

(14:12):
more than half the party grabbing drinks and getting their
food going to where the walkout didn't get the love
it should have gotten, right, didn't go very long either.
He didn't go keep it going. So you guys walked out.
You guys walked out, and then I went to grab
more food, came back and the dad was in the
middle of the speech. I was like, damn, I want

(14:32):
to hear these things.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
It's also an issue with a bigger wedding. I think
there was like three p fifty there.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
Fun wedding winter. The people. Yeah, people at the wedding,
like all your friends, the parents, everybody was awesome. Bro, Yeah,
got to be wonder boy.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
He was.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
He was great with this great Yeah, welldude, so awesome
to meet you when he's like this, Yeah, just a
gracious cat man, truly nice post.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, like when he because his brother texted me like
on Wednesday, because I was helping one of my other
friends who's in the UFC that was there. I was
trying to coordinate a practice session for them too, and
then his brother hit me up like, Hey, what's the
details for Saturday? Because back when we were in Miami,
I went to go see them and I was like
just kind of messing around a little bit, like Hey,

(15:20):
y'all need to come to the wedding, like it will
be awesome. And then his brother hits me up in
that same text. He I was like, Hey, what's the
details for Saturday. We want to come by, but we
don't want to like you know, take food away from
whatever since we're not like on the official list. I
was like, oh, a snap, like they're really coming. So
the Thompsons are the best man. And without the Thompson's,
like I wouldn't have got a lot of opportunities I

(15:40):
got in Florida because they opened up their gym to me.
So I was able to shoot some stuff with Steven,
and then I was able to go back down to
Florida and tell these other gyms like, hey tell them
like Mike's Jim, Hey, I've done stuff with wonder Boy.
So like you know, I had some like legitimates to
me and so like even it was so such a
small act from them, but truly change like the trajectory

(16:02):
of my life.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Probably, yeah, because then you end up in Nashville.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
Hey, which brings me to one more loser of the wedding.
Michael Chandler. Ooh, Michael Chandlers had the invite, had the invite.
We talked about it didn't go bad. Look for Mike,
stand up guy, great individual, amazing family. Didn't go to
the wedding. I told him to say, Hey, I'm driving

(16:27):
there and back same day. I'll drive you. No, man,
I got it. Stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
I do need to defend the seating for there. There
could have been more tables, but I'm a huge I
hate sit down dinners. That's what I heard, because I
think they killed the vibe. I think you lose. We
had a really good crew at the wedding, so it
probably wouldn't have. But almost every wedding I've been to
that sit down there's like a good twenty five to

(16:53):
thirty percent that don't get up and like get to
the dance floor and the energy just falls off quick.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Right.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Don't disagree with you, but I think the people that you.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Had there for sure, you would have never had.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
To worry about because you got people who are just
so excited, they're fun so the dance floor. Would have
never because I heard I was like, that was one
of JP's calls. Yeah, it's probably the only one that
if you had this year before the before the wedding.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I wouldn't I wouldn't have listened to you at all
because I feel good about it, sitting liked it. I
went there was more tables.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Again, you wouldn't do that.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
There could have been more tables for people.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
Could be more tables, but it's all good. Like a
random move.

Speaker 7 (17:37):
At this last wedding that we went to, they had
to sit down, and usually it really is like people
just kind of trickle onto the dance floor. You don't
get too much action. They were like, hey, everybody, get
up from your your dinner. We're doing a group photo.
Everybody at the wedding. Brought them onto the dance floor,
took the photo and then it was turned down for

(17:57):
what and like shut down.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
That great idea? Sure didn't you get a last minute invite?

Speaker 7 (18:05):
I got a very friendly invite from JP because I
was at I was at a day party at Mitch's
house and to save the date was on the fridge
and I sent it to JP and I said, dude,
I can't wait. I'm excited to come. And it was
a complete joke and he sent a really friendly text
message back and it was like, hey, Bro, but seriously,

(18:25):
if you and Jill want to come through. So I
appreciate you saying that, but I would never put the
pressure on the guy like that. But I should have
showed up. I should have showed up. That's the look
I'm getting right now.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
I think I think your thought process was in the
best intention for JP. Yeah, but obviously Slug's a good vibe.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
This big slug. You had had a great time. Yeah,
and you heard the whole thing with wonder Boy like
he still came through.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
That's true.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
I did hear that.

Speaker 7 (18:54):
But wonder Boy brings an energy that I could never
that could never match.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
It's a calmness.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Yeah, it was a fun way bro in Greenville a
winner Greenville, Greensville, suuter Alna massive winner.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yes, you'll see what I'm standing on the table for it.
Each week a.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
Six four even, just driving in a little downtown area
before we went anywhere, It's like, yo, we're gonna have
a solid little time here. There was stuff to do,
the street market that was going on in the morning. Uh,
the spots to eat. I'm talking Yelp Haven, Bro.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
What's crazy is like Yelp Haven. In even middle school,
there was a curfew downtown so like if you were
under eighteen, you had to be home like by nine
because it was dangerous. And the developers that built the city,
like they crushed.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
Oh yeah, man, that's what is it? Falls Park? Yeah,
great little spot.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
It was fun, man, glad everybody had a good time.
I will say another loser.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
No, no, no, no, no, I'm just I was trying to
figure out before I say it, if it's going to
be like an emotional thing, like if I'm reacting to it,
I don't think I will experience another welcome party the
way you had your welcome party. There's nobody that's gonna
go out of the b like that and do a
pool party and you're almost curious if it's going to
hit or not.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, you know what I mean. And it was so
good because the people that like didn't bring their swimsuits. Uh,
A ton of them came up to me. They were like, man, like,
I can't believe I didn't didn't bring my swimsuit. Like
it raining was. They were like it raining literally felt
like God was just like laughing at me, like, look
at you, dumb in your little suit collared shirt. Not

(20:25):
in the pool right now.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Yeah, your dad tried coming out there and saying, hey,
lighting might be here in like fifteen minutes, so we're
gonna have to get out.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Obviously it didn't happen. We said we'll die.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Before we get out.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Man. It truly was like the greatest weekend ever, best
weekend of my life. The honeymoon was awesome. Like I
was just so thankful everybody that showed up. It was
so cool to see everybody from all different walks of
life and it was special.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
So how was it seeing sitting walk hear those church doors?

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Also? I was crying, like, oh sun, bro, it was
It was bad, man?

Speaker 5 (21:01):
What hapened?

Speaker 4 (21:02):
You just you know?

Speaker 5 (21:04):
So you just immediately look at JP because you can
already see that he's emotional kind of before it even starts.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Moving back and forth. I was like, oh not the shoulders, bro.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Well, it was my my friend, my friend Michael, because
he was one of the last ones to walk down.
And I've known Michael since I was like three, maybe
even two, and like Michael has been through a lot
of things and so like we've just I don't know,
seeing him come down kind of like sparked it. I
was already emotional, but I was just like man because

(21:40):
I was in his wedding. He's the one whose photo
I dressed up as the bride for his first look,
and so like seeing him and just somebody that I've
known since I was two or three years old, and
we just like have experience of a lot of things together,
mainly him going through a lot of hardships. Uh, it
was just like, oh, Man, like I have photos with
him from kindergarten situation, now I have photos of him

(22:01):
at my wedding and sitting wrote me the nicest letter
of all time, and like another little gift from before that.
I was just like, god, dagn So.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
At what point during it were you like, all right,
this is gonna be horror than I thought.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Emotionally, probably like fifteen minutes before I went out there late. Well,
she sent me the letter, and there's like this song
from a movie. The movie is called ten Years. It's
a great little like fun watch. The cast is crazy
Oscar Isaac Channing, Tatum, Anthony Mackie, Chris Pratt, and it's
like a high school ten year reunion and there's this

(22:33):
song in it called never Had, and it's basically Oscar
Isaac singing to the girl like she was the best
thing he never had, and because they had like a
little fling. And so Sitton rewrote some of the lyrics
and had our friend Hannah Klein sing it, and she
sent me the song and it was like so sweet
and just like means a lot and sitting. I love

(22:54):
that song anyways, and so I'm listening to the song
and I'm just like, I mean, I was a mess
in the morning and then I like it that feeling
sort of subsided as we the day got ready, and
then like I was like, I listened to the song
one more time, and I was like I should not
I have done this, but you the mental Yeah, it's
just sweet. I mean, like sitting our best friends for
a long time, so it's just like it's just cool.

(23:18):
I think like her and I have a really special relationship.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
That's awesome. Yeah, I love I love to another Winner
of the Wedding the phone that you pick up.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
And I can't wait. We haven't listened to it, doc,
I can't wait.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
I did it and then once it was like, please
leave a message. I was like, oh fuck. I was like,
what happened. So there's obviously you know the book you
can write like notes. It's like pictures and you can
write notes. And but on the next to it there
was a phone, like an old school phone that you
pick up and it would ring and then it would
say please even message for the bride and groom.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
After the beef.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
So now they have all these messages from people from
the wedding. Damn. It's idea. It was a great idea.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
I was like, I'm back.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
I'm so guys, but I love you. It's like an
old lady behind me.

Speaker 8 (24:11):
She's like, I'm like, hold on one second.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Get off my heart. Small break from the wedding part.
People are probably sitting here watching this episode, wondering what's
changed in the bus.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, because we get into with Will left.
But we got some new chairs.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
New chairs, and so will we.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
Little upgrade, little upgrade, little upgrade.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
This was talked about on Thursday, and I get to
the bus today and here like I pulled the trigger.
We're doing it. It's like, all right, fuck it, And
I think I personally like it.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
Do you like the round table as well.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yes, because there's just more room. And I love the swivel.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
Yeah, having the swivel is I think it helps with
the guests who because then he can face us a
little bit more like also in the back you.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
Can kind of swivel and look back.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Yeah, we'll have to figure out if there's like a
fourth at some point, but that usually, like you were saying,
when we were when we were like talking through last
week at the restoration hardware that came, but that's like
few and far in between.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Yeah, having multiple game and.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
Once we tried it, it's like, yeah, let's just rock
with this. As long as they felt comfortable.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
It's good to pull the trigger on things and see
how it works. Yeah, I'm personally a fan of it.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
You guys know that I hate bringing up like anything
that could be a little too that could create drama,
you know, But I do feel like we have to
just throw just put it out there, just reporting. This
isn't me wanting to cause anything whatsoever. Did you feel
any type of way about Taylor is supposed to be
driving and then he left that night again.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
And I do want to say this too. If you
do feel some type of way, I completely understand.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
I don't. I don't hold grudges, so like I haven't
carried it with me once, you know, once the wedding
day was over, but I was. I was taken aback.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah, when you came and.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Broke the news to me, because I also heard the
wedding planners came and spoke to you and then they
locked it in with you. Yeah, So I think it
was the fact that was locked in, and I was excited.
I told people. I was like, man, I'm stoked. Like Taylor,
he's taking us off. The photos are going to be hilarious,
Like he.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Would have to officiate. Yeah, yeah, I would have probably
done just as good as a job.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Well I guess, like, how do we know you would
have shown you wouldn't have No, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
I get that. Here was My whole thing was is
I was traveling a lot. The lot the two days
before that. I get back and I drove that day
and my head Taylor had been gone. Her flight was
like bumped around a lot because there was like weather
in Toronto, so she was pushed and so I was
going to be able to see him the weekend before,
but ended up I had to leave and then they

(27:49):
were getting back. They didn't get back until we were
actually in Wisconsin for camp barstools. So but at the
time I thought they were getting back in town at
like nine am, ten am. So I was selfishly thinking
to myself, man, like, will it's not drinking. I would
love to get back on the road and just be

(28:11):
a home so I can my family and see them.
Was it been like a week or something like that.
And then you know, Karme is a bitch because I
ended up leaving. I get a call from Tanna at
like three in the morning. I've been like two hours.
She was like, our flight got canceled. So you know,
if you do it all over again, I would have
absolutely done it. But I was. I wasn't necessarily being

(28:31):
as present minded for you as I should have been.
I should have stayed and just powered through that drive
late at night.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
I appreciate you making the trip from Arizona to Greenville.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
I appreciate that, and I should I should drove. I'll
make it up to you. I'll figure out a way
to make up.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
You got me one of the best wedding gifts ever.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
But you see, so two weeks ago you were like,
this is the best gift, and I was like, bro,
I'm telling you there's someone's gonna come out of nowhere.
Someone's gonna come out of nowhere. And at the wedding,
I was like, hey, is it still staying. You're like, unfortunately, no,
shout out Grammy, shout out, shout out Grammy. But it
was a good gift. Yeah, a gift you could have
been on.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
I have one for him coming.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Yeah, say it was my birthday gift. You'll get that.
That's your five year wedding anniversary. You guys still be like,
here's a wedding gift that's.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Still sitting in the truck I had. I had that
for your birthday.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
The truckle outside right now. Yeah, don't give it to
me until you give.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
You how many run on and get it right now? No?

Speaker 4 (29:22):
No, no, no, no, no, I'll we'll exchange gifts on September fifth. Okay,
I'm just looking at I can go grab it. No,
I don't want to love it. You're gonna love it.
Grab it, you're gonna love it, love it. I always
feel uncomfortable receiving gifts in front of people. So get
it all right, this is let's go.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
What do you think it would be? Originally I feel
like it was going to be a book.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Probably will be. It'll probably be The Daily Dad, which
he thinks I don't read, but I've sent him multiple
photos of me reading it. Also, Michigan favored by twenty
one and a half against Fresno State. Take that run
with it. Set the tone. Tennessee's favored by thirty nine
and a half. Yeah, well, I can't feel time, can't

(30:15):
feel time. Battle of the State wrapping is incredible. It's
a dish of some sort. Just open it up.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
Hearts pound check.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
For one million dollars.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
That would be something.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
That's a good gift. Yeah, that's a good gift. Don't
show her body. The best revenge is massive success. Frank Sinatrak,
put your keys on.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
Yeah, lost in the past. That is nice for my life.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Hey, that's a great gift. That's a great gift, dude,
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Best gift ever ever, It's ever I've never received the gift.
Best gift you've ever received.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
On August twenty sixth until twenty twenty four, Yes, no doubt,
it's all I needed. Make sure you take that home
and I expect you put that, expect you to send
me a photo of it being used.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Okay, So there's there's some.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
Here's why, okay, because then I know you'll start utilizing it.
It won't be a gift that just like I'm not
a gift, but it won't be a thing that's just
like throwing the side, because that will benefit your life.
As men, we do a bad job of leaving stuff
in our pockets that were chilling. I'll remember where I
put this. Then you're looking everywhere for me and you
never find it. Just the spot that you come in
at every day. Have it setting somewhere so that you

(31:53):
can put your stuff on it and you just stick
to it and it'll change your life.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
And it's not like you can just buy those anywhere.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
You can't get no. Yeah, this is like as you
were as you were saying, that's like, what that's a
top three quote of yours.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's an awesome quote.
I have that Neon sign in my recovery room.

Speaker 5 (32:09):
I saw it. I was like, Taylor birthday, this is
gonna be birthday.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
It's a great gift.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
And as like I always thought to myself, like, where
am I gonna put this key? I don't have like
a a table stand by my door.

Speaker 5 (32:23):
I'm trying to work through your as well.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
As you were saying that, I was like, oh yeah,
I'm gonna put that in my bathroom because at night,
I have this little shelf I put my wallet, my
keys and everything on. Now I'm just gonna put that
in there.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
I think it's so funny that it's like, the bathroom
is a spot where you're back, I'll put my wall keys.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
But it makes sense. Yeah, because he's got my stuff boom. Yeah,
it's about it making it there when I get home.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
That's why I need the photo.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
Now we'll cut. We'll cut this part. We'll cut this
part right here, Mitch, so makes you cut this part.
I don't leave my keys in my vehicle. Yeah, I
don't even you do. Yeah, I had my truck right
now the same.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
But when I get home, yeah, I just I just leave.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
I've gotten better bringing my keys in and putting them
on the thing. But I'm I was the same way.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
Yeah. Even my car got stolen twice and I still
get my car back. That's keys. Yeah. Yeah, as you
were driving my gift. I did just lightly put out
there that Michigan's favored by twenty one and a half
and they should take.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
That bet twenty one and a half against too on
President State. Let me scroll through since we yeah, since
we don't have the gambling show this week, it's probably
let people know where heads are at.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
A wild parlay out there, A wild parlay by the
by the slug.

Speaker 7 (33:42):
Presented by the Slugs.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Now, let's let's start with this game first. Let's we'll
do We'll just start with this.

Speaker 7 (33:47):
We'll start with this.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
We are traveling to Texas. A and M for Texas
and M versus Notre Dame. A and M is favored
by three points.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
There's a twisted ttail gate happening from three to six
pm that the boys will be at. So come look
us up outside of Kyle Field right, just to let
you guys know about.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
I think I'm going A and M. Are you really?

Speaker 5 (34:05):
A and M's favored by three But there's just something
in the air that makes me think like maybe they'll
be tough this year because they have some insane recruiting classes.
Obviously they have a new staff. They're gonna come out
fired up, especially cayle Field, Like that place is one
of the loudest places in collegefora I heard.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
I actually, I can't wait to hear.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
You're gonna love it.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
Man.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
We got you know, we got ref screwed us over
in our game at cayle Field.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
And that's legit, that's legit. Sherman had a couple of
good points about Notre Dame. I like you to say
those before I make my pick. Okay, do you want
to tee it up for you? Yeah? Okay. Sherman does
not like Notre Dame. He's not a fan of it
at all. But these got receipts behind It's not just
because oh I don't like their colors. Like me personally

(34:53):
growing up, I was never a fan of Notre Dame
just because of I just wells as a kid. As
a kid when you look at schools, Oh, that school
is cool to me for X, Y and Z, like
when we were in high school, Like Oregon is cool.
Look at all the uniforms they have this, you know,
Alabama was cool because they're winning all the time. When
I look at Notre Dame, I never really had that
like fire of like oh sick, yeah, I love them. Yeah,

(35:14):
you look at Notre Dame and I thought, like college football. Yeah, okay, so.

Speaker 7 (35:18):
Sure, okay, So growing up as a I grew up
in Fort Worth, Texas. My entire family, they're all horned frogs.
I was grown up a huge fan of TCU. We
would have these teams like the Rose Bowl team that
beat JJ Watts Wisconsin team. Great TCU teams come through.
They don't get the BCS bid, they don't get to
go to the ship. But these Notre Dame suspect Notre

(35:41):
Dame teams every single time in the media. They're the
media darlings. They're always making the big games. They're over
in every single New Year six BCS and CFP game
they are over and I believe it's like over six.
And that's what drives me crazy is looking at if
you look at their schedule this year, this A and

(36:03):
M game is it?

Speaker 1 (36:06):
It is?

Speaker 7 (36:06):
Really it like week one. If they beat A and M.
I would not be surprised if they went undefeated. They
play nobody, they don't have to play in the conference championship,
which is a huge loss for like Georgia. That Georgia
team that didn't get to play in the CFP last year.
Would you have won your Michigan Wolverine's lineup against that

(36:27):
Georgia team last year? You wouldn't feel comfortable about it.
But you wouldn't feel comfortable about it.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Yeah, but you don't feel that when you're when you're
in the dance, brother, every team's good.

Speaker 7 (36:36):
Well, would Notre Dame scare you in the dance or
would you go, thank god we get to play Notre Dame.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
I think the team I was able to support last year,
I would be like, thank god I have this team,
Oh for sure.

Speaker 5 (36:49):
But you would rather you either see a draw of
Notre Dame than Bama.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
I think at the point, yes, I think at the
point we were with the SEC. Now he's kind of
been like de crowned. Thank you. It's like at that point,
it's like, yo, Alabama, Georgia. You look at any of
those teams, you're like, oh fuck, that's a big bad wolf.
Now it's like that's just the second best conference.

Speaker 7 (37:09):
They've also been outscored by like forty seven combined points
in their CFP games, Like they just don't perform.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
So you're saying Notre Dame for fraudulent score.

Speaker 7 (37:18):
I just think they're fraudulent, and I think I think
they'll probably get the win this weekend, and I think
they'll probably go undefeated for the rest of the season.
It really drives me nuts.

Speaker 5 (37:26):
So you're taking Notre Dame and you're gonna go money.

Speaker 7 (37:29):
I would take Notre Dame.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
With the new.

Speaker 7 (37:32):
Texas A and M is really hard to beat at
Kyle Field, but with their new coach, a lot of
things moving around, I haven't seen anything promising from quarterback
play from A and M in a while. I would
take Notre Dame. They have a really good transfer quarterback.
I don't remember his name. Yeah, dude was solid before
he got hurt at Duke. He was so solid. If

(37:55):
he's playing like he did at Duke, they get out
there with.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
The w see. I think I think you take the
minus three with A and M. But what I will
be doing I'll be using my heart because I know Shane.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
He will be there, he will be in attendance this weekend.

Speaker 5 (38:09):
I can't just sit there and ride against I can't
sit there and write against my guy. I'll be going
Notre Dame money line on the DraftKings app. But I
do think A and M minus three is a that's
the play.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
Would be the play Are you wearing Notre Dame stuff too?

Speaker 5 (38:26):
Not? Can't do that? A and M's allowing us to
come and be on the sideline like I wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
I wouldn't do that. Yeah, yeah, it's either neutral colors
or A.

Speaker 5 (38:35):
Yeah, you have to for sure have to.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
But that's kind of my thought.

Speaker 7 (38:41):
I love that thought.

Speaker 5 (38:42):
Where are you going?

Speaker 4 (38:44):
It's hard because I really thought watching f SU forsus
Georgia Tech, I was like, FU is gonna wipe the floor,
but not realizing that new season, new people, getting the
rust off and all that, I think the edge is
gonna go to the home team in this situation. I
think there's a lot more pressure. Like listen to Utah

(39:04):
Notre Dame. This is their one big game this year,
and even if they lose this game, they could win
out the rest of their games and still make the
College Football Playoff, like you like to say, because ND
gets that like college football privilege. So and A and
M is twenty. They're on the outside looking at know
that every they're gonna have to work their way into
the top twelve. So I'm gonna take A and M.

(39:25):
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to take A and M boys.

Speaker 8 (39:34):
I don't have too much information backing. I don't follow
A and M and note M too well. But I
am curious outside of the gambling perspective to see the
yell leaders in person. And I'm not gonna say anything
nasty because A and M has been gracious enough to
host us. But I'm interested to see this cult mentality

(39:55):
that they have building at A and M. I think
that's gonna be fun. But if I had to pick
a winner, I've heard that Kyle Field is extremely loud
being the first game of the season, shaking the rust
off everything. I think they can get a good homed
up so and I'd like to see A and M
win for the sake of our experience. So I think
I'll be not rooting for A and M, but rooting

(40:15):
for a good environment, which usually ends with a home
team win. So hopefully it's the Aggies.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
But good thought process to have. That's a good thought process.

Speaker 8 (40:24):
We see with the yell leaders still in question always that's.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
All right, yeah, it's okay, well sorry, and then there's
nothing wrong with asking questions curiosity.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
I'm most excited to see the dog they got Ah
they got a yeah, like a border Collie shell tea
maybe or reverly can't wait to meet you. Seen a
lot of great things about you. With that being said,
I did grow up Catholic, so I do have to

(40:54):
have to rock with with Notre Dame. And I get
I didn't know Shane was going to be there, so
I'll be rocking. I'll be on the ship train. I'm
also on the shame train with the game calls. Will
also win this week. Yeah, I'm going Notre Dame all right.

Speaker 5 (41:07):
I like Georgia minus thirteen and a half over Clemson. Yes,
I think Georgia will wipe the floor with.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Them in Atlanta.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
And I always feel like, especially the last few years.
It doesn't jp correct me if I'm wrong, but they
Clemson doesn't usually start off that well or they have
in years in recent years.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Yeah, I mean they never have any hard games in
the beginning.

Speaker 5 (41:28):
So I like Georgia minus thirteen and a half then
bet and Clemson has kind of falling apart too.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Really, the marriage between Dabbo and I think the current
college football because he doesn't like the portal, he doesn't
like an il. Obviously, they're paying guys but he like
is out there, like we don't need to go to
the portal, like our recruiting classes are portal. Like you
weren't good enough to come here in the first place.
Yeah you guys, Yeah, both like guys.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
You like Georgia, Yeahgia. I think Georgia's a tough ball
club this year. Oh yeah, every day.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
That's a team that's one that's won like thirty something
and one in the last few years.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Yes, this is this is more of a hope than anything.
But I hope Colorado covers against North Dakota State, their
favorite at nine and a half.

Speaker 5 (42:19):
That is a game, I'm telling you. And it's not
because Colorado is going into Nebraska the next week. I
just think you cannot sleep on North Dakota State, like
they're like a legacy team in the D one double
a world.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Yeah, and I really just think about us in our experience.
If Nebraska and Colorado are both undefeated, Michigan and Texas
both undefeated, going to those two schools next week, it's
just gonna make it more fun.

Speaker 6 (42:43):
Now.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
Yeah, if Colorado lays an egg against North d Coota,
it's like, well, fuck man, Like not really, I.

Speaker 5 (42:48):
Don't want them to be pissed off going into Lincoln.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
Yeah, but I think that just the storylines play up
more like good. I'm with you, a solid rivalry.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
Colorado can win, But I'm taking in the nine and
a half with North Dakota State. Dude, I don't know.
I those teams. It's like they usually have a you know,
non conference game that's just like their super Bowl. And
I'm telling you they're gonna be a well coached team.

Speaker 7 (43:13):
Montana State this last weekend. Yeah, they came to play.
I do have that five leg parlay dial h.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
Yeah, let's let's hear that.

Speaker 5 (43:21):
Hang on, let me go one more. Miami minus two
and a half at Florida. I like Miami. I think
Miami can win the ACC this year, and I think
Miami can be in the College Football playoff. Man, I'm
kind of wanting to buy Virginia Tech two. But Miami
minus two and a half at Florida. I also like
LSU minus.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
Four and a half at USC. I like Lsu. I
went those are my picks.

Speaker 7 (43:47):
I went the opposite direction as you on both votech
and Miami. I got Florida money line, West Virginia money line,
Vanderbilt money line.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
Who's Vandy plan Tech?

Speaker 4 (44:03):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (44:05):
I got TCU to cover in Oklahoma State to cover.
That's my parlay.

Speaker 5 (44:13):
Money lines plus four.

Speaker 7 (44:17):
Oh, they're they're high. The odds are high. We're looking
at plus fourteen thousand.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
There ain't no way Vandy's beat Virginia Tech. I hope
you're wrong because I took bader Belt money line.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
Come on, I like I like North Dakota State with
the points. I like again Heart Notre Dame money line.
I like l s U a USC covering, and I
like Miami covering at Florida, and I like Georgia covering
at home against Clemson.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Those are mine.

Speaker 6 (44:50):
I like Georgia.

Speaker 7 (44:51):
I don't think Georgia is just gonna cover.

Speaker 5 (44:54):
And you want a futures bet, we already know that.
I'm I'm all about this. But the over under from
the brsca's win total seven and.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
A half.

Speaker 5 (45:03):
Over and a half this weekend, we we're not gonna
touch that. If there's anything I've learned, it's just not
bet on Nebraska games, because if I bet the cover
there and you know, Nebraska wins, I'm like gonna be
bummed if they don't cover. You know what I mean,
I don't.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
Like being in that massive line too.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
I'll probably take the money line just in the parlay
or something.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
In these early games where like good teams are playing
really bad teams, like Ohio States favored by fifty and
a half versus Akron. I think you get to a
point where you're pulling your starters at halftime and it
doesn't get to a fifty point deficit. So I would
take Akron in that.

Speaker 5 (45:39):
But imagine even the second Imagine the third team Alabama
against Alabama. Yeah, oh hot, imagine third team Oha State
playing against Akron. They're covering that. If it was eighteen
and a half.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
South Carolina's fair by twenty and a half. It's old dominion.

Speaker 5 (45:56):
South Carolina could be scrappy this year.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
Now, one team that I like that has a that
has a big number attached to them is Tennessee. There
thirty eight and a half, and the remember the argument
last year when Jack and I were going toes on
Michigan and Tennessee, and like, good teams always covered, Tennessee
always happened to cover these types of games. So I
would leading Tennessee and they go and a half. Yeah,
they got a lot of firepower. Everyone everyone saying that kids,

(46:20):
the the truth could be stollic by Jack right now. Yeah,
he's got.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
All you know, it's game week.

Speaker 4 (46:29):
It's game week.

Speaker 5 (46:30):
He's got to reel it in slow Burn.

Speaker 4 (46:33):
And well, I don't know, I want to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
What we're doing today?

Speaker 4 (46:38):
Oh, we're going to Tennessee today. Yeah, we're driving to
Tennessee today.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Not to give the full details, but yeah.

Speaker 5 (46:44):
We're going a little sneak peek. We got a white
whale joining us for an interview next week. Can we
give one hint white whale.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
I'm gonna give massive hint, massive bore it is he's
an officer of the law. Yeah, we can get that.
If that's too that's too much.

Speaker 8 (47:09):
Are we gonna post about it later today, like where
it would even matter? Or are we gonna save that?

Speaker 4 (47:15):
That's true, let's go. He doesn't do a lot of
interviews either. I know. Hey, he text us over his
foot bump.

Speaker 5 (47:26):
He did text us with the with the PM at
the end, he like thanked us for coming on the
Manning cast.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
Oh, and I think he sent us the photo at
the end of the year where he's like Eli did
most of the drawings. I don't remember that he said
something like that and then it was PM.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
But it's gonna be awesome. One thing I want to
know about you ever heard you heard the story McAfee
tell us about Roulette Team. I want to know if
that's true. I think it is right.

Speaker 5 (47:53):
I mean, you've got a story that they tell I
think that they've told often.

Speaker 4 (47:58):
Has he told him?

Speaker 5 (47:59):
He was on the they were on the Magnet Show
talking about him.

Speaker 4 (48:02):
Well, there it is. I guess I got my answer. Oh,

Speaker 4 (49:21):
As we were sitting on the bus, Will Levis our guests,
who should give a rid of the blaster? Right now?
Give a I will say this.

Speaker 5 (49:30):
We've been asking him for years.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
First Titans quarterback? Really, first Titans quarterback on the bus? Yeah,
you're right, isn't that crazy? I was thinking about that
and Marcus has always said, yeah, come on, but then
something always comes up. Yeah, So the first Tennessee Titans
quarterback to ever step on it, Let's give him one more.
Let's give him one more. But you're asking as we're

(49:53):
getting on, what's changed in the bus, and literally up
until you stiff on this bus. Not a whole lot.
Maybe a couple of these pictures back here. But these
chairs chairs are new new. Will and I went, Will be.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
Scared about this?

Speaker 4 (50:05):
Mike, Yeah, well, comp and I we went to restoration hardware.
What was it Thursday? Yeah, Tuesday days one of those days,
and we were talking about doing chairs all that. We're
talking to a lady who was very nice, talking about
a discount. We almost got there. We kind of got there,
and then all of a sudden, Hey, Wyon, don't you
sleep on it. I get here to day and was like, hey,
I'm pulling the trigger. Now I'm on the bus and

(50:26):
we're learning this for the first time.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
There we go going from seventy dollars Amazon chairs to
some some rh ones.

Speaker 5 (50:31):
Yeah, these are nice, he's about u. No, these are
like five hund though.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
Are they really?

Speaker 9 (50:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (50:40):
Contract to your contract a little bit, yeah, illrustration hard
that's a different ball. That's yeah, game changer. It's a
game changer.

Speaker 5 (50:49):
We're getting a few though, we're for the gambling show.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
Yeah, that'll be a nice little deal. Yeah, the locker room. Huh, dude,
let's talk about first year you're with Rabel, second year
here with Callahan. It just seems like in these couple
of preseason games I've seen, it's the first time since
I've been in the Tennessee Titans world that I can't
guess what you guys are doing next. Does it feel
nice to have some variety in your playbook?

Speaker 2 (51:13):
I mean, I love their offense we had last year
and rabes it will always play a huge role in
my development as a player. And Calli's coming in and
doing a great job with the identity he wants to
establish with what we got going on, and I love it.
I mean, it's I think it suits my traits and
it does a good job of focusing on the talent
that we have across the board and distributing it evenly.
So the additions we made in the offseason were awesome,

(51:36):
and Cali has just done a great job of pulling
everything you can out of the playbook to let guys
go out and make plays and do them fast and easily.
I feel like the biggest thing has just been completions
have been out there, and then We've just been able
to take them and move on, and the shots come,
and we understand that as we take more of those
completions that are a little quicker and easier than those

(51:56):
shots will come. And all the other stuff with every
single different run scheme we've put on tape already in
the first three games of the preseason and our screen
game and everything else, it's just a very complimentary offense
and I uh, I'm excited to see kind of how
it's going to evolve throughout the year.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
As a quarterback, what do you feel like you've learned?
What are a couple of tidbits you feel like you've
learned the most, because obviously Cally he comes from Cincinnati,
He's worked with somebody like Burrow, and then when Burrow
went down last year was what was his name, Jacob Browning?

Speaker 4 (52:25):
He ends up he ends up bawling as well.

Speaker 5 (52:27):
But you got you talk about the variety of offensive
and everything else, Like, what's something What are a couple
of tidbits like in the film room that you feel
like you've picked up on that you've learned from Cali.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
I think just playing within the system and really understanding
the intent of the play that is putting that he's
putting out there, And like I said, I just feel
like the concepts that were majoring in are a little
different actually than the concepts that I've typically majored in
the in the straight drop back pass game and my
previous offenses. And at first, it's like just kind of
weird because you're not even throwing a lot of those balls.

(52:58):
You haven't read routes or concepts that way. But after
doing it the first few times like it, it becomes
more natural and you start to learn the intents of
the plays and why and when the intent isn't there
and why it's not there, and then what your next
option is. Like it's just been coming really naturally, and
I really liked how it's developed. And then physically too,
I can't remember the last time I had a quarterback

(53:18):
coach that helped me from the mechanics and just like
physical throwing standpoint, he just kind of threw some suggestions
out there with what he saw from me from the
beginning of spring to the end of spring. And I'm
always gonna take anything any of my coaches says with
an open mind. And I implemented a couple of things
into my game on one of which I really kind

(53:39):
of did stick with and that's been helping me a lot.
So that's been cool, Like playing with my bass, playing
with my mechanics, talking to a guy who's seen so
many quarterbacks and worked so many to understand the different
things that go into the position. That's cool to hear
from a head coach talk about the I want.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
To talk what the hogs, dude, because obviously count Brian
Kin comes in, he brings his dad, and just watch
in these couple of preseason games, it seems like the
offensive line is playing with a whole lot of confidence. Obviously,
you pay your center fifty million dollars. You take a
guy JC Latham in the first round, h Scronsky, who
was a first runner eleventh overall last year. But then
Dylan Raiden's who is going to a fourth year. I

(54:16):
think this is his fourth year and he's kind of
been jumping in was he a tackle? Is a guard?
And now he's like cemented himself as a starter, Like
are these these boys seem like they've really putting it together?
Have you seen a dramatic drump from your rookie year
to now?

Speaker 2 (54:30):
There there's been a big jump in confidence, and I
think just work ethic too, Like Bill has been on
those guys to really make sure they're coming out there
with you know, their their head on swivel and really
know o Bill Kelley. Oh yeah, no doubt he's He's
just been such a pleasure in the building. And I
think it's it's a tone that he's set from day
one that that they have ran along right with him

(54:53):
and every day after practice, the extra indie work, the
constant you know, the meetings and the terminology and I
guess physical like body positioning and hand placement stuff that
he talks about with these guys that the attention to
detail is something that like I've never heard before in
that position. So it's really cool to to hear and

(55:16):
to see these guys work to implement them when we
get out there in practice and obviously in the game.
So far, I've done a really good job. So I
felt comfortable back there. I feel like I have the
time I need. You mentioned Dylan him stepping up for uh,
you know Sadiq, something we didn't necessarily uh expect, and
and that was just a crazy situation and we're wishing
them the best and but Dylan has just taken that opportunity, uh,

(55:36):
head on, and it's done really good job with it.
So all those guys, you know, everyone that's competing up there,
even even our backups, have been really impressed with how
they've been able to work with with Bill and you
know the mentality that Bil was established with that room.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
How go ahead? Did you have something I wanted?

Speaker 5 (55:52):
If it was a different topic.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
I was gonna see that talk about the level of
protection last year when you when you started obviously game
against Atlanta was unbelievable. Then after that a lot of
people it was like a SIV a little bit through
the offensive line. No disrespect to them, but just statistically
it was what it was. You took a lot of shots.
How did that then affect your confidence at all last
year and then seeing the kind of difference this year
so far?

Speaker 2 (56:14):
Uh yeah, I know. It's not like you take a
couple of hits and you start playing the game differently.
You can't really think of it that way. It's more
of a reaction thing, and you can't go into a
drop back pass without the confidence that you have the
time to make the read that you that you need to.
So it's not like I was like going into anything differently,
but I do feel like I'm more confident, and it's

(56:35):
just a testament to how they've worked and the development
that they've made throughout the offseason and just the good
football they've put on tape throughout camp, and it's been
really big. And I've just been trying to do my
best to instill even more confidence in them, and Bill's
continuing to push them as hard as you can, and
I know that they're nowhere near where they want to
be yet, and I know as well as no one

(56:55):
else is on the offense as well. So just looking
forward to keep getting better and pushing these guys for
when the real deal comes in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
So, dude, as a as a rookie, what was it
like for you ultimately taking over the rule of the
starting quarterback Tannehill? He was down, he was injured. You
come in, you play well. The job is basically yours
when he comes back. Like, walk us through that, walk
us through those couple weeks, because that's always like, I mean,
we've all been in the locker room when a position
change happens or somebody takes over a starting spot, you're

(57:24):
kind of wondering how you know the starter's feeling, like.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
You just know what it is.

Speaker 5 (57:28):
Ultimately, you have to suppress your emotion because we sacrifice
for the team, so you have to put your own
personal agenda aside to ultimately, Like I'm sure Ryan was
a good teammate, even though probably internally he might not
have wanted to be. But for you in your spot
being a rookie and that moment happening, what was that
like for you in that moment?

Speaker 2 (57:46):
It's tough because you know, every quarterback I feel like
they obviously want to be that guy so bad no
matter what your position you're in, Like one quarterback play
is like, it's such a tough position to be at
a backup quarterback just because like you know, unless you know,
borrowing an injury or something crazy happening, you're probably not
getting me get a shot on that Sunday. So it's

(58:08):
doing everything you can with your actions throughout the week
and and whatever other role that you're put in to
to be a leader in the other ways. But it's
it's it's you're never gonna get to that same kind
of level or exposure that the starter is that you're
going to be able to you know, touch and affect
the people that you might want to if you're a backup.

(58:30):
So to be kind of thrown into that role like
suddenly halfway through the year and not having that off
season of like knowing you're the guy to kind of just.

Speaker 5 (58:40):
Put your kind of like fingerprints.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Exactly to mesh with the rest of the locker room,
you know, I didn't really have that, And being a
rookie too, it's uh, it just it was it was
a lot more difficult, but uh it made me. It
didn't really give me an excuse to not be the
leader that I wanted to, but it just gave me
time to warm up to that and to use that year,

(59:03):
that second half of that season to understand kind of
what I feel like leadership should look like at the
quarterback position, more looking from outside in and just getting
more comfortable growing in that role. And that was my
biggest kind of goal for this offseason too, was to
continue developing in that and to roll into this season

(59:23):
with a better identity as a quarterback, as a leader,
as a person, as a teammate. And that's really what
I was focused on. But the beginning of that process
was really really hard because you're, you know, stepping in
for a guy that has won a whole lot of
games for this organization, will go down as one of
the best quarterbacks this organizations ever had. And it's tough
to just kind of flip the switch and be like,

(59:44):
all right, now it's your turn. And you can't just
try to pick off where Ryan left off and do
the same things that he was doing. You have to
kind of find your own flair and find your own
way of doing things. So that process was difficult, but
it was a lot of fun at the same time.
And I got to thank Artie too for how he
handled that process. Because anytime any guys loses a position
like that, there's two ways you can go with it.

(01:00:06):
You can kind of not give the guy any attention,
or you can be the best team that you can be.
And that's that's what Ryan did, and he helped me
immensely throughout that whole process, So I got to thank
him for that.

Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
That's awesome. You say that because in the beginning, when
you first get drafted at thirty three, Tannehill has that
press conference that was kind of going around It's like, oh,
it's not my job to essentially help you take Tannehill's job,
which is which is true, which is true, but it
kind of starts the narrative right that everybody wants to
do in the media cycle of like, oh, Tannehill's not
helping Will. Now there's a little bit of a rival
be going on there instead of like a you know,

(01:00:38):
older vet comes is here, young guy comes in help
him up as much as possible. Was there a transition
or was he helpful from the beginning where he was
kind of fighting it and then all of a sudden
you become a starting job He's like, I can do
whatever I can to help you. Or was it pretty
good from the start to finish.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
I think what he meant by that was just like
I'm not gonna you know, groom this guy to be
the starting quarterback, but he's still going to. I mean,
he didn't say it, but he still answered anything I
ever had to ask him. He wasn't going to go
out of his way to do those things. But he
was always open and you know, very communicative with what
he was seeing, you know, how he saw things and

(01:01:17):
how it could help me. And he was he was
never you know, he didn't avoid that at all ever.
So now he from day one. He was a great
teammate and treated everybody and me and everybody in the
quarterback room the right way. So yeah, nothing really else
we said.

Speaker 5 (01:01:33):
There going back to draft night, how'd you feel? What
was your emotion like, like ultimately falling to thirty three.
I know it was like there's a range of where
Will Levice could go, but ultimately falling to thirty three
your emotion when you did get drafted juiced me up.
But I'm sure there was a lot on your mind
up until that point.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
No doubt.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
It was a lot long process, you know, going through
that whole year, throughout my whole senior season, in kind
of hearing the things I was hearing from the people
that I trusted about, you know, potential for the draft
and stayed and stayed steady in that first round kind
of grade the entire year. And it was cool to

(01:02:13):
to to see that and hear those things, and you know,
despite the stressful season that I had not the greatest
way that I wanted to end my college career, but
still based on what I'd heard, had a really good
shot there at going and first round, first half of
the first round even, Yeah, pretty cool to.

Speaker 5 (01:02:30):
What conversations are you having with teams too, like to
where you're even in cement you even more in the
thinking I don't know exactly where I'm going to go,
but it seems like I could go.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
In the first half the dayble one exactly the top
thirty visits, I was taking the interviews that I was
having with these teams. You know, some teams at the
end of the first round were kind of like not
even telling me, like, you know, I'm not probably not
going to be there when we're there anyways, so like,
you know, nice to meet you, but yeah, so it would.

Speaker 4 (01:02:55):
Be a great feeling when they said that tea, Yeah,
I was like, you probably won't be there, but they're
looking at your career and you're like, might not be there?

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Actually no, I mean, but we got there, and you know,
I was already I got my nice suit on. I
rented I think a like one hundred thousand dollars Paddock
to send it back next day, sent it back, didn't
even get seen with itally, It's a smart move.

Speaker 4 (01:03:19):
Smart move.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Gosh what I was happening that day we were on
the red carpet in Kansas City. I got I got
everyone at the draft on the red carpet that did
this interview got a hundred inch television from a brand
that I won't say, you know, no free shows, smart smart,
but you know, every they're expecting everyone in the draft

(01:03:43):
to have first round money, to be able to have
a nice big house to put this hundred inch TV in, right,
you know, get a nice big wall. I Meanwhile, I'm
over here, you know, second round money in my one
bedroom apartment taking up the entire time.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
That might be even better. Actually, it might be even better.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
There's mom and dad y that was that was on though.
That was really cool. And then just sitting there in
that room, we knew that if it got past uh
really the Titans first round pick, it might be a
long night and instead of uh and if someone didn't
trade up for me towards the end of that first round.
So you were kind of just waiting on that, waiting
on that, like waiting on maybe a phone call. And

(01:04:19):
I think I picked twenty nine. Get a phone call
from somebody. It was a prank call from somebody.

Speaker 4 (01:04:27):
You got a prank calls somebody you knew.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Yeah, no random number, my god, So I still have
the numbers saved. I'll find them someday.

Speaker 4 (01:04:36):
Your wheels out for vengeance.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
Yeah, it was a conversation. No, they just they just
like did you seturd? And like hung up?

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
Yeah, they laughed.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:04:46):
God, And at twenty nine you got it. You're sitting there,
think how the fun again.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
I literally got off the phone. I said, let's go guys.

Speaker 4 (01:04:53):
Really. Yeah, you didn't say for the last three picks?

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
No, no, no, I think it was in between thirty and
thirty one. Maybe not twenty n yeah, because there's only
thirty one picks.

Speaker 4 (01:05:02):
Dude, what is the feeling like? What is the feeling
like when the Titans one goes by? So you and
your pants are sitting there and you're like, it's probably
gonna be a long night. But now you're getting to
the twenties and more and more cameras are coming towards now.
It essentially goes from hey, yeah the pick is in. Oh,
this is who it's picked. Now let's go to Will
Levis and see what his facial expression is doing, which is, buddy,

(01:05:25):
that's got to be.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
What else do you know? I mean, we did a
good job. He just kept it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
I don't know how you are, that's your Mom right there. Yeah,
I'm sure you're like, Mom, Please, for the love of God,
you're making it straight. Just look, just please, just stare
into the distance.

Speaker 2 (01:05:43):
There was one point where we were playing cards. I
brought cards. They didn't want to film that. I don't
know why, but it was like, it's like playing, just
messing around.

Speaker 4 (01:05:53):
And so you at thirty you're like, I'm getting I'm
getting the hell out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
I think it was just as the last pick was
coming in, but in between the thirty thirty first I
think that's when the call came and we're like, yeah,
let's let's pack the show up and go back to
the hotel. I think there was a rack of shake
Shacks Burgers waiting for us celebratory four and then went
to bed.

Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
All the emotions all right.

Back to the episode Dude, who who do you feel like?
In your own selfish brain, feel like oki doch you
the most to where? Maybe you were excited to potentially
go there, and you felt like you were getting kind
of the best vibe of going there, and they didn't
end up getting you to where. Maybe it's like you know,
you can't wait to get it back one day.

Speaker 4 (01:07:41):
Maybe it could be the Titans. Well the Titans, yeah, yeah,
but it's like, yo, y'all could have picked me out one.
You're in your first round pick at eleven? What are
y'all doing?

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Yeah, that's I mean, that's true.

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
I'm sure there was a piece of you. At first.
There was like fuck the Titans.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
And every day and try to show them that I
should have been their first round pick.

Speaker 4 (01:07:58):
Yeah, but against every day like you son up a bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
Hey, they made a good pick with him. I love Pete,
but now I'm not gonna give anybody any you know.
But there were definitely just few teams. I think the
ones that I thought I had a good shot at
going to there was actually murmurs. I think a lot
of people were putting bets on me to go first overall,
not a lot, but like some because like someone on
Reddit had leaked that I had told like a family

(01:08:23):
member or something that Carolina was going to pick me
number one. Overall, that didn't happen. I told my family
the opposite. I said that they were not gonna pick me.
They pretty much told me it was like a formality
to invite.

Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
Me in Yeah for real now, but just like checking
a box so they can throw them off the sin.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
I mean, it was just the vibe I got. But
no I knew, I knew, I confident I wasn't going there.
You know, I wasn't feeling great about Houston, but Indy.
I felt good about Atlanta, I felt decent about I
don't know, like Vegas. There was a few few other teams,
but Tennessee and Indy were the two that I felt

(01:09:01):
were really vibling with me most.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
But so it's Andy you like to play against.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
I mean, I want to beat any anybody in a division,
especially but Andy.

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
Yeah, really staying and by the way, you're phenomenal at
the politically correct media, like you've been well trained, no doubt,
But we all know it's Indy Cults. Anthony Richardson getches
his shoulder. Will was like, I'm kidding, dude.

Speaker 5 (01:09:26):
You had an interesting journey in college too, Like you
were with Penn State for what three or eight years?

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Yeah, two and a half years. Really, I got my
undergrad there and then I was in the right in
the middle of the There's a lot of big changes
in the college landscape during my college career because you
had to be a graduate to be immediately eligible before
the transfer portal, and then when I transferred, that was
right when they established the transfer portal, so I didn't
really have to be a graduate. But that's what I

(01:09:51):
was like on track for because I wanted to be
able to play right away. So transferred to UH Kentucky
and then had two seasons there and caught it for
the last year of NIL too, So just a lot
of weird changes. But yeah, three years of Penn State
too at Kentucky.

Speaker 5 (01:10:11):
Why why transferred to Kentucky? Why Kentucky over the others
that I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
I just, I mean all I wasn't getting the opportunities
I wanted to do at the quarterback position. Like I said,
only one plays and the guy who was starting for me,
Sean who I'm really close with, he's with Green Bay now.
He was only one year above me. So it's one
of those things like I was looking at it from
you know, most guys who go on to you know,
get selected in the draft and have a good professional

(01:10:37):
career start for more than one year in college and
just to get that experience, I thought it was going
to be important for me. So getting my undergrad and
get into Kentucky and starting for two years. There was
the plan from the jump, and you know, things worked
out pretty well.

Speaker 4 (01:10:52):
Did Was there ever, like a was there quarterback competitions
going on at Penn.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
State a little bit? Yeah? After my freshman year, my
freshman year spring training we did or spring ball, we
had a little bit of a competition and I just
came out, just just got edged out. So Sewan ended
up getting the job. And then I was putting the
kind of a wildcat third down goal line quarterback situation

(01:11:17):
spot and I just really wasn't getting the opportunities to
throw the ball that I wanted to and needed to.

Speaker 5 (01:11:22):
So would you get told by the coaching staff that
your opportunities would come and happen, and then when it
wouldn't happen, it almost frustrates you more. That would almost
buy into like, hey, I think I'm gonna take off
after this year, not in like a selfish way, but
just in the way that every competitor wants. Like, you
know how you have certain conversations with coaches at times
where you feel like, hey, in this maybe we're up

(01:11:43):
in the second half and I'll get in there more
or maybe you'll get whether it's garbage time whatever, but hey,
we're going to rotate you in. We're looking at doing
the plan this way this week, and usually most of
the time it doesn't go that way. Were those things
playing into your situation at all?

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
There wasn't.

Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
Just Sean was the guy.

Speaker 5 (01:11:58):
It never really changed from that, and you were like, hey,
I gotta kind of think about my own future.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Yeah. I just kind of saw the write and I
feel like I wasn't. I just wasn't getting the opportunities.
As much as they tried to kind of involve me
and give me different opportunities to even throw the ball
a little bit. It was mostly just stuff that I
knew at the end of the day, it wasn't going
to get me prepared and give me the experience I
needed to to play quarterback at the NFL level. So
I mean, I loved it. It made me a better

(01:12:24):
football player in general. Like I think, you know, the
stuff I did in the run game there and what
we were doing with the different quarterbacks and what have you.
It was a lot of fun. But I wasn't. For one,
I wasn't good enough in the drop back passing game.
They didn't trust me that way, so I understand why
they didn't play me. But I needed that experience to
get better. So that's what I was really looking for,

(01:12:44):
and Kentucky gave me that opportunity. So I ended up,
you know, getting the reps that I needed to to
develop as that you know, more pure passer and really
benefited me.

Speaker 4 (01:12:54):
Did you ever doubt yourself? Because it sounds like when
you're going through the transfer portal, you're like, I need
an opportunity to show I need to go to the
NFL and do X Y and Z. Was there ever
a point at Penn State where like, maybe I just
can't do it? No, you ever doubt yourself at all?

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
I always had, you know, pretty solid confidence in myself
and my ability. I just I knew that if I
had the opportunities to get the experience that I that
I needed, then you know, it'd be hard to stop me.
So I was. I was excited for that and to
get the chance to do that at Kentucky was fun
and just do I. I had the attributes, I just
didn't have the opportunity to put them on display yet,

(01:13:31):
and I was glad I did.

Speaker 5 (01:13:34):
That photo reminds me of Miami Jack. You didn't mess
with Will Levis at first. Right the photo you get
the photo of him jumping over to Tennessee, and it
was kind of making me think. I was like, wait
a minute, Jack was kind of before the draft happened.

Speaker 8 (01:13:53):
Well, I'm Jack, nice to meet you.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
Tell him what happened?

Speaker 8 (01:13:57):
All right, So when you were not in the first round,
I put out a tweet and it was like, when
you don't select Will in the first round, it's some
like dumb dancing gift. And it was nothing against you.
It was purely for the value play the second round.
When we got you out.

Speaker 5 (01:14:11):
Before that week bust and you're like, I hope you
don't get me.

Speaker 8 (01:14:14):
Well, I'm a Tennessee guy. I'm a Tennessee fan. So
you know, previous season there was it was fun to
go back and forth. So you have a rival quarterback
coming into Tennessee, and you know you want to have
as much fun with it as possible. But when you
got selected the second round, and then when you had
your first breakout game with the Titans, when you and
d Hop had those like Matt what was it three
TD something like that, I did my due diligence and

(01:14:36):
in the parking lot. Afterwards, I said I was wrong.
I was wrong, and I said, I'm fully on the
Levis train, and I want him to be as successful
as he can, whether it's with the Titans or somebody else.
So I'm I'm fucking stoked. I've been seeing your praises
around town.

Speaker 4 (01:14:49):
I know you're going to be a dog out there.

Speaker 8 (01:14:51):
So but but it takes a man to admit when
he was wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:14:54):
April April twenty seven, twenty twenty three, Anthony Richard Greater
sign Will Levis.

Speaker 8 (01:15:02):
Wait, Jack McPherson, are you or hen even remember?

Speaker 6 (01:15:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:15:07):
I don't even remember that, but that obviously again I
was wrong. Pull the video of me, of me showing
where is the video?

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
Uh? Pov the Titans passed on Will Levis?

Speaker 8 (01:15:21):
Dude, Yes, and I was wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
Dude, we're feeling a Super Bowl contending team this time.

Speaker 8 (01:15:29):
And then and then who was it?

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
Freezing cold? Takes?

Speaker 6 (01:15:32):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (01:15:33):
The Twitter account, they just repost anybody who's fucked up
when you got drafted immediately, I was in Florida on
a bachelor trip and I started getting notification, notification, notification,
you'd been drafted, and I'm just I'm catching a lot
of heat everywhere, and I was like, this is fine.
We want somebody who wants the job, and I'm here
to motivate him. That's my goal. And then then when

(01:15:55):
he came in, him and d Hob had that game,
it was it was a great first showing and.

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
I couldn't be happy.

Speaker 8 (01:16:00):
I have a eight. I have a I have a
number eight Titans Jersey. I have a number eight Titans Jersey.
So Mac, I mean that's my name though, but it's
still you.

Speaker 5 (01:16:12):
Know, another part just to go out listen, this is
what you want.

Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
You want one of the day ones, the guys who
grew up Titan fans to be pissed off, not turned
around one eight and being like this is our savior.

Speaker 5 (01:16:25):
He's also that much more heels on the ground because
he's such a diehard Tennessee fan that basically any kind
of quarterback in ESSEC he almost wants them to fail.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
Did that year I was.

Speaker 4 (01:16:38):
I didn't bring that, bring that that would all connected it?
Huh that would all connected it?

Speaker 5 (01:16:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:16:45):
I really am, I I will. I'm a massive levels fan.
Now I'm really happier on the bus. And it takes
a man to admit when he's wrong, and so I
do apologize to you. I looked at the show notes
and I was like, all right, they don't have my
name on there, but I know are gonna sneak it

(01:17:06):
in at some point.

Speaker 5 (01:17:07):
I really not until that Tennessee pick. I was like,
that's right. Jack didn't like you. Hey, I lovething I
didn't like.

Speaker 4 (01:17:15):
Hated. Yeah, you hated knowing Will for the short time.
Will is like he's you're computing all this more more
of a chip on my shoulder. Good good.

Speaker 5 (01:17:28):
I just know that it takes a man.

Speaker 4 (01:17:31):
Takes a man, right, Will, Right, Will, It takes a man.

Speaker 8 (01:17:34):
And I'll be wearing my eight jersey every every home game.

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
I'll be in there.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
Never let him.

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
That would be hilarious.

Speaker 5 (01:17:45):
If there's just a photo, a mug shot at you,
you can't get in Titans games, you'd be wrecked.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
That would that would hurt.

Speaker 1 (01:17:53):
That would hurt me.

Speaker 8 (01:17:54):
But you know, if that's what means bringing Super Bowl
to Nashville, I'd be willing to do that for the
city of Nashville.

Speaker 4 (01:18:00):
What a good transition do How were you received when
you first got to Tennessee. How do you like were
people excited about it?

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
It was definitely like half and half. I'd say, yeah,
there were definitely people that were very excited, and there
were definitely people, you know, like you were stuck college
roots regards, stuck in their college roots. No, but I
knew that it was gonna take some convincing for for
some Tennessee fans. So I still got a lot to prove,
and but just trying to keep doing the right things

(01:18:27):
to turn those people's opinions around, you know, right.

Speaker 4 (01:18:30):
And so your camp goes by, we don't, we don't
hear a whole lot a couple couple of weeks ago.
By now, all of a sudden, the Tennessee Titans are
wearing the Houston Oiler uniforms for the first time. Tannehills
got an ankle, He's got a little anky issue. He's
not being able to put the uniform on. It's your
first time going out. What was it like going on
Nissan Stadium for the first time?

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
So sick? I mean, first of all, I've been waiting
to wear baby blue, light blue my entire life. Just
like the cool Swaggy is coolest.

Speaker 4 (01:18:54):
The coolest uniforms, Those are the coolest uniforms in all
the NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:18:57):
Exactly, and and to be able to start my NFL
career in those you know, they gave me a little
confidence boost. That was cool for sure. But it was
fun and it was a pretty serendipitous situation.

Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
Oh Google, Yeah, Google, serendipitous.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
No, like just with you know, we're not getting hurt.
And then we had to buy the next week, so
I really had two weeks to prepare for this first
game of mine. So that was that was nice, And
uh just was also coming back from a little bit
of an injury from training camp, and it was perfectly
kind of timed up with where I was finally feeling
even just that week, like healthy enough to play and

(01:19:35):
confident enough to go out there and do my thing. So, uh,
it worked out really well. And I just feel like
everything came together that game and all the stuff we
dialed up were there. I was seeing things clearly, you know,
Hop was doing his thing and pulling everything down and
finding his way to the end zone a few times,
and uh, it was crazy. It was also like one
of those things too, where as well as it felt

(01:19:56):
like it was going on offense and how everything was clicking,
we were it was still at one score game, like
by the end of the game. And that was my
first like, oh shit, this is the NFL, Like every
game is going to come down to the wire. We're
gonna have to pull this out and just but just
what a great way to you know, get your career
off started and gave me a lot of confidence to
finish that year.

Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
It was fucking awesome. It seemed like the Hop was
in your ear all week. But like, yo, just throwing,
which is that's the receiver you want? You want your
receivers to be like that?

Speaker 2 (01:20:22):
Yeah, I want my receivers to be you know, dickheads
about wanting the ball.

Speaker 4 (01:20:27):
You wanted me to be selfish, yes, like, hey, throw
me the ball. Get frustrated when they're not getting the
ball in the first three plays of the game.

Speaker 5 (01:20:33):
My boy Colet McCoy, who was the backup Arizona who
played some games last year a couple of years ago.
But when, oh whenever d Hop was on the Cardinals.
But he'd say he'd come to the sideline the ob
back bro, just throw me the ball. And sometimes he
said he would just make up a route on the
fly and he would just throw it to him because
he'd just be like, yeah, hey, just trust me, like,

(01:20:54):
just throw me the ball, Like, don't worry about what
they keep calling, Like, just throw me the ball.

Speaker 4 (01:20:59):
Don't worry about keep calling. Yeah, yeah, you had d
up and now you've got I mean, Ridley got two backs,
Pollard and Spears like you a chig. You have so
many guys, so many tools, Like do you feel like
you've got everything you need?

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
Yeah, And it's gonna be gonna be tough because a
lot of guys are you know, deserve the ball and
they are gonna want the ball. So yeah, beyond me
to uh, you know, just trust what I see and
play within the offense. But we have a you know,
a lot of fun players at our fingertips, and uh,
you know, the backs are gonna be a lot of
fun to play with and getting them in different formations,
getting an empty two backs in the game. They're both
incredible catching the ball out of the backfield. They both

(01:21:36):
do some amazing things. Crazy thing trying to jump over
that guy yesterday, That was that was crazy. Antonio Brown
someone Yet Antonio Brown someone yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:21:44):
Kicked him in the head.

Speaker 2 (01:21:45):
Yeah, yeah, it was great. He fell from like nine
and a half feet up. But I just that fired
me up, because you know, not a lot of guys
even think about that stuff like that. He was back
in his home state. He was a leguice up.

Speaker 4 (01:21:57):
Yeah, leonidasing somebody just said kicking them in the face. Yes,
but dude, Miami game. Yeah, putting your right shoulder into
somebody and everyone's getting hyped up into you. I know,
Bravolvers like, listen, brother, don't ever do.

Speaker 1 (01:22:08):
No that hurt.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
I mean when I'm see jailing next all time that
you know, I probably got the shorter end of the
stick on that one. But no, that was cool and
that was a big play and a big game and
probably our most fun win last year for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:22:24):
It has to be. Man, what a comeback.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):

(01:23:10):
dot Com, use code Boys. Back to the episode when
you talk about leadership, like what are things that you
can do? Like you talked about all the weapons you have,
like keeping guys in it. Maybe they're not guys who
really get down on themselves, but you know that the
ball is gonna have to get spread around. Our guys
feed off. Maybe touching the ball early in the game
touch them all more. Maybe they don't mind to fall back.
But like, what do you do, Like what are you

(01:23:31):
conscious of when being a leader in those situations when
you have that many weapons?

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
Yeah, I know, I think it's just conscious of what
you just said. It's conscious of how guys tick and
how guys need to be motivated and if guys do
need to have that boost of confidence or moment to
kind of get them going in a game or in
practice or something. So it's it's there isn't a uniform
way of leadership throughout the time. I feel like it's
just a way of understanding people more so than and

(01:23:59):
having a strategy with how you you go you go
about it. But it's it's a tough job. It's probably
a harder job than the quarterback poisition itself. The leadership
job I'm saying, and I'm still growing in it. I'm
getting getting better as the as the days go on.
I think I wanted to go into camp and like
I feel like it's like one of those things to
where you got to earn it with your actions, Like

(01:24:19):
you got to earn how you play on the field.
Like you can't just go out there and start talking.
At least some guys feel like they can. But I
feel like I have to kind of prove it with
my actions before I can back it up with how
I talk or how I act in that way. So
camp was great because you know, being able to get
some good reps in camp and to you know, ingratiate
myself with the guys and to just or ingrain myself
with the guys and and and show them that I

(01:24:41):
am our guy and the leader for this team and
that that's just a great few weeks of progress for
me to just keep, you know, climbing in that role.

Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
How do you differentiate being the leader you want to
be and not forcing it as opposed letting.

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
It come to you exactly? You got it's got to
be natural, Like you can't you can't just decide like, hey,
I'm gonna be the RARA guy today and I'm gonna
get guys fired up. And you got to make sure
that you're true to how you feel and and kind
of what you want to get out of it. And
there's there's it's not to say that you can't change.
I think that that's that's a big misconception. Like guys

(01:25:14):
think that they're this type of teammate and they have
their their whole life and they've just stayed that way
because they might be afraid to walk in the next
day and people to be like, wait, that's not who
you are, you know, But it's not bad to consciously
kind of try to change the way you are for
the betterment of yourself and the team. And I feel
like i've I've I've done a few things and tweaked
the kind of ways that I've I've just interacted with

(01:25:35):
people and then just been around the building and it's
helped me for the better. So I was stuck in
that for a long time too, Like I didn't want
to be inauthentic. I didn't want to be the guy
that I'm not. But I realized it wasn't that. It's
more so, I have, you know, this vision for who
I want to be. What do I need to change
and improve in my life and my actions and in
my values to get me to that position. And when

(01:25:58):
I got over the the fear of being inauthentic in
that pursuit, then it, you know, improved me a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:26:07):
I love that, dude. Do you uh?

Speaker 5 (01:26:09):
Do you listen to Brady a lot when he's on
whether he's doing interviews, because as you we're talking about leadership,
there was something really fascinating that when he was breaking
it down, it made like talking about like knowing guys.
He was talking like, if you're the ex receiver, if
you're like one of the top receivers, but most of
the time you're running out of the huddle every time
out usually outside the numbers. Your route treats cutting half.

(01:26:29):
Like these guys who got to do that play in
and play out and sometimes they're not touching the ball early,
and he would talk about how he communicate, like, hey,
we'll get you going, because he's just aware of the
fact that, you know, even though they have this diva
perception by everybody else, He's like, you got to understand
these guys coming to the huddle, they run out, they
run outside the numbers, everything's everything is like halfway.

Speaker 4 (01:26:47):
Cut off for them by themselves.

Speaker 5 (01:26:49):
Yeah, they're by themselves. They're going as hard as possible,
and then the one one or two times they don't,
they get kind of like, you know, they get that stigma.
But he's like just understanding that, even knowing how to
try to communicate with those guys throughout the game if
they're not touching the ball earlier, knowing you got to
get into them quick just to like keep them involved.
I always thought that that was real, real fascinating, And

(01:27:09):
I forget the question that I initially asked because now
I'm thinking about to Brady and oh yeah, yeah, you
like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When you see him, yeah,
when you see him, yeah, I guess having interviews or
is he somebody who like gravitate towards Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
I mean, that's that's the guy I've looked up through
my entire life and obviously being from where I'm from
and being a Patriots fan and Boston sports fan, like
that was my idol, like growing up, like that's who
I wanted to be, the winner that I wanted to be.
So yeah, anytime I can listen to him and speak
on whatever you can about, you know, the position or leadership,
it's definitely something that I pay attention to.

Speaker 5 (01:27:43):
I forget that you're a Boston guy. Stooly Stooy big
ten big Stooley, grew.

Speaker 4 (01:27:47):
Up on it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:48):
Yeah, I was telling them I was kind of that
first generation of like Instagram. I think I was like
more Facebook first, but I think I got Instagram in
like seventh grade or something and it was my buddy.
He was like, yo, yo, you gotta follow this page
Barstool Sports. He was like probably the one of my
first follows after like just like my best friends and stuff.

(01:28:09):
It was like Barstool Sports, ESPN Sports Center.

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
Yeah, so it's just funny. We were talking about that
before and now, look at.

Speaker 5 (01:28:18):
Who's your favorite barstool personality.

Speaker 4 (01:28:21):
It was I'm a big cat guy.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
I love I love big cats.

Speaker 4 (01:28:25):
So you're anti no, no, no, I love.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
I was gonna say Dave because I think I knew
Dave first, but I was I was peing part of
my takee guy. I listened to them for years, so
I'm still a big fan of the show. But they're
They're great and Dave's great. I've met Dave a couple
of times. They are Big Cat a couple of times
as well. They came to Lexington for the Reader's Cup
a couple of years ago. Oh yeah, yeah, we were

(01:28:49):
hanging out afterwards at some bar, so that was cool.

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
We were we were in New York for the draft
and Big Cat was talking about you, saying you were
a Stuley guy. He was singing your praises a little bit.
He was about it. So you got a fan on
the other side as well.

Speaker 2 (01:29:02):
Awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:29:03):
Yeah, do you have no should we go?

Speaker 5 (01:29:09):
Mayo? Should we go? I also want to You seem
like you come from a family of athletes. Your old
man played, Your mom was an All American soccer player?

Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
Is was she?

Speaker 5 (01:29:19):
Is she where you get your genetics?

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
Yeah? I think she had a freaking six back until
she had her fourth kids, So yeah, she is a
beast and she was the you know tom Boy did
it all kid and as a kid growing up and
played baseball until high school I think, and then found
soccer as your sport and ended up going to Yale.
Was all American there and yeah, just a just a grinder,

(01:29:45):
and both her and my dad were big athletes. My
dad played D three football at Dennison University in Ohio.

Speaker 4 (01:29:51):
Your uncle played, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):
Yale running back, and my and then there my mom
and his dad. My mom and my uncle's dad was
a coach at Yale for twenty five years.

Speaker 5 (01:30:03):
So I did read like Yale. I think I read
Cornell somewhere. It makes sense with the what was the
word he said earlier, super superfluous superfluous? Yeah, polus.

Speaker 4 (01:30:13):
I don't believe that was the word. That was not
the word that was not the workous Yeah, superfolous.

Speaker 5 (01:30:21):
Yeah. But a lot of a lot of academic I'm sure,
a lot of expectation in the household grown up.

Speaker 2 (01:30:26):
Yeah, a lot. I don't think it was more like
expectations more so than it was.

Speaker 6 (01:30:30):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
I think me and my sisters realized that there were
just a lot of you know, impressive, like established people
around us, and we wanted to do our best to
just live up to our family's name. And I think
our our our parents told us that from a young age,
more so from a respect standpoint, not a performance standpoint.
Just everything that we do is going to reflect our
family's name for the rest of our lives. And we

(01:30:53):
took that very seriously. And all of us just went
hard hard a ship and everything that we did. And
and me and all my sisters are you know, I
think we're all proud of the spot we put ourselves in.
And the youngest one is gonna be a junior in
high school and she just she's gonna start getting us
getting some offers to play lacrosse in college. So she'll
be the last one. But they did a heck of

(01:31:13):
a job with us as kids growing up to you know,
put us in the position to succeed.

Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
That's awesome. So all athletes, your sisters.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
H the one h the oldest one is not anymore.
She was an excellent athlete. The middle one just graduated
from Central Connecticut, she played lacrosse there, just moved here.
Actually she's going to school at Belmont for grad school.
And the youngest is still in high school. But she's
probably the best athlete.

Speaker 4 (01:31:35):
Of all of us.

Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
She's beast.

Speaker 4 (01:31:39):
Where is the family located now?

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Are they Connecticut?

Speaker 1 (01:31:41):
Connecticut?

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
Connecticut got you?

Speaker 4 (01:31:43):
And then when everyone's out of the house, do you
think your parents are going to move from Connecticut?

Speaker 2 (01:31:47):
They've been talking about it. They've been talking, not not
Nashville specifically, but just like getting somewhere further down south.
But last time I talked to them, they said no,
they're liking the New England living.

Speaker 4 (01:31:56):
So when it's all said and done for you, you're
thinking back up to the northeast.

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):
I don't, No. I think I definitely have like a
dream vacation spot up there, like whether you know I'm
Nantucket or like Martha's Vineyard or something like that, And
I think that would be a really cool second contracting
right next to Portois. Yeah, yeah, but I don't know.
My mind's not quite there yet. Yeah, there's definitely some

(01:32:20):
some really nice Yeah, always.

Speaker 4 (01:32:23):
Fun to dream. Always for of dream and also pros
and cons of not going in the first round. There's
no fifth year options. Did somebody give you that conversations
and that's a huge win. So now after next year,
it's like voice, you put it pay the fuck up?
You know, you know, you know you know what I'm saying, right,
You're gonna do it right. Yeah, so the numbers gotta
be there. The first time I ever heard about you,

(01:32:46):
you were at the SEC Media Days and you took
a cup of coffee and some man, some mayday's a
cup of coffee. What what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
Okay, I'll give it. I'll give the whole rundown.

Speaker 4 (01:32:57):
So give me the rundown on that, because I know
we got a fragrance out now that is literally sold out.
You can't even get your hands on it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:02):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:33:03):
And you've really taken this thing and put it to
the moon. But it started with a cup of coffee
and some mayonnaise.

Speaker 2 (01:33:08):
Yeah, it was. It was wild. In college, I was
pretty active on social media, like just you know, posting
you know bs that I thought was funny on TikTok whatever.
If I thought it was funny, it was going up
and I thought other people might get some laughs at it.
Two and uh and yeah. I was making a little
cash on it too. It was helping on the little
on the marketing deal with nil and stuff being there,
I was grounding my ass off, fell as. I didn't

(01:33:28):
have no collective to get get handed any money I made.
I didn't really make much, but i'd work for what
I made in college, and I'm proud of it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:35):
But uh, it was.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
It was a breakfast I was at and we got
our coffees and there was no cream or sugar on
the table, just a bottle of mayo. And some of
the person I was just like, hey, you should you
should post a video of you drinking it or something
and that must be how they drink their coffee down
here or something like that, and I was like, you
know what, I will, And so I poured the mayo in,
stirred it up to made a little, super little video

(01:33:58):
and you know, it was funny. People liked it, and
then it got re picked up when I went to
SEC media day and they asked me to do it again,
and then that kind of sparked it again, and then
it kind of picked up some more steam during the
draft when everyone's trying to find all the dirt and
ship to pick up a lot of people like who's
going to draft this freaking idiots stuff. Yeah, So that

(01:34:20):
was a weird process because I was like trying to
convince people that I'm not this psychopath weird with with
a weird sense of humor.

Speaker 5 (01:34:28):
They want you to be the face of the franchise.

Speaker 2 (01:34:31):
Yeah, So dealing with that, and I really like at
first was like, I don't want this to be a
part of my personality, you know, I want to be
known for the person that I am, not like this
silly antics that I might pull on camera. And it
didn't take long to kind of shift that thought process
when I talked to the Hellman's marketing team and they're like, no,
I think there's something here, like you should lean into this,

(01:34:54):
like we could do a really funny campaign. It was,
you know, authentic in terms of I actually do really
like man, it's in the specifically humans, which was a
staple in my family's fridge, my entire life. So talking
to them and and and it just made me realize like, hey, like, no,
this is this is funny. We can make this even
more funny and and you know, at the same time,

(01:35:15):
I'm gonna get a pretty sweet deal out of it too.
So we did a couple of things last year. They
extended me for a couple more years and we did
this crazy Hey you crushed the commercial, the lone commercial.

Speaker 4 (01:35:28):
Yeah, how long were you on set doing that?

Speaker 5 (01:35:31):
Bullshit over and over and over and over.

Speaker 4 (01:35:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:33):
This was at the Titans practice. It was the longest
day of my summer. Actually. I did the live pro
am at the Grove here in Nashville, which is an
awesome weekend, and then I did a radio show for
an hour, and then I did that shoot from four
to midnight for to midnight. It was It was a

(01:35:55):
long day and I'm pumped with how it came out.
And there should be something else come not soon with them,
which will should be fun. I'm excited to want to
show people.

Speaker 4 (01:36:05):

Speaker 1 (01:36:05):
Here you can see a sneak peak. You can see

Speaker 2 (01:36:09):

like something coming out soon. Yeah, when does the back by?

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):

that this.

Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
This helms hes helmets.

Speaker 4 (01:36:59):
Yeah, it's amazing. The lake thing is so funny, he said.
Those old school old spice commercials.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
Yeah, you remind me of that. This that's what this
whole campaign reminds me of, like kind of the old
school old spice because it's so tongue in cheek, like.

Speaker 4 (01:37:14):
Yeah, the old spice commercials were awesome. Yeah, they're unbelievable.
Is it so they're the biggest player as far as
your marketing goes? Is there anybody else you have your
eyes on that You're like, I love to be sponsored by.

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
M I've been saying it ever since, and I think
the day and I all became a thing. I tweeted
at Levi's jeans. I was like, let's do something here. So,
I mean, it's been thrown out there. I'll keep I'll
keep poking them, but we'll get there eventually, I think.

Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
But let's talk about true classic. Dude, have you put before?

Levi's is good, but it's not the seventies anymore. It's
not you know, it's time to move on.

on the line for True Classic. I think you'll love it.

Speaker 4 (01:38:17):
Yeah.

be like, all right, let's do this the.

up making the thirty six length for me. And it's

I think for giving me the I don't know, vascularness.
I don't know, but my body's always just been like
a little just nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:43:15):
Like sit on the bus making a dude feel comfortable
about how good he looks, you know, was like, I
don't know how to answer this question. Buddy, you check
him out all the time. It's all good at that dude,
Are you kidding me? That's a quarterback, not a linebacker. Yeah,
I feel proud about that.

Speaker 5 (01:43:29):
I would kill one of my producers for your body,
like I would stab them with the nine inch blade.

Speaker 2 (01:43:33):
I think you would say, though, like you.

Speaker 5 (01:43:36):
Can roast you over a fire, put an apple in
your mouth, slug a big slug, just slowly let that damn.

Speaker 2 (01:43:47):
So yeah, I remember like that one, like I posted
like I think my progress from pre draft. I was like,
this is just how my body the one to the
left there, like how my body progressed.

Speaker 4 (01:43:58):
Like the second row, second row, and like I.

Speaker 2 (01:44:00):
Pushed that sounds like that's like good ship. You know,
like I worked hard to like improve my body, like
it's not that's not uncommon, like especially with athletes or
people like tracking stuff like that. And then I you know,
that was put out there and I just got dogs.

Speaker 4 (01:44:15):
Yeah, dude, the fat are gonna hate on that. Listen,
you got to be proud of that.

Speaker 1 (01:44:19):

Speaker 4 (01:45:15):
He was playing his ass off.

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
Shoutout neck rolls and the old linebacker no neck Look,
you know that just it brought a tear to my eye.
It was like, we are so back. College football is back,
and it is a dying breed, but there are still
some left, apparently at the Georgia Tech Zoo.

Speaker 5 (01:45:29):
So they were like that player was like the first
one they showed too in the first series. You're just like, oh,
who is forty four about that?

Speaker 2 (01:45:36):
It's like you had to custom make his jersey, right,
I mean it was the.

Speaker 4 (01:45:41):
Biggest traps of all.

Speaker 5 (01:45:43):
Hey, Georgia Tech was scrappiness, scrap scrapping.

Speaker 4 (01:45:46):
They got a dub. Yeah, okay, it's a number a
top ten ranked college football team. Yeah, lost both my bets.

I didn't even watch most of the game.

Speaker 1 (01:46:12):
I don't know you.

Speaker 4 (01:46:13):
Saw the result. And you have a top ten team
losing to Georgia Tech, stuff that stuff, and they played
in the call. They didn't get in the college fotballlayoff
last year, go to play against Georgia who should have
been the college fall playoff, and get donkeys stopped. And
now it's like, Okay, we're a top ten team.

Speaker 1 (01:46:26):
We we should be in the.

Speaker 4 (01:46:27):
Playoffs this year. And they go and do something like that.
That's tough. Georgia Tech's nice, though, Georgia text nice, but
it's all the antics. Florida State that they're like suing
the NCAA.

Speaker 5 (01:46:34):
R all mad. They got a few like they got
they got like holl ree.

Speaker 4 (01:46:39):
I was just on their defense a talented roster and
then that was like, my god, the team ar man gotcha.
They went nine times out of ten shouting out is
probably the top five in this bus. Yeah from the
hip to like that was incredible and he's he's kept
us in check with the no free shoutouts.

Speaker 5 (01:47:00):
Yeah yeah, accountability. You like that out of your starting QB.

Speaker 4 (01:47:04):
One need that out of your starting q one gotta
have it. Yeah good, any boys got shouts in the back.

Speaker 8 (01:47:12):
Shout out the Titans first undefeated preseason since two thousand
and three.

Speaker 5 (01:47:19):
So shut up, shut up men who can admit that
they're wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:47:24):
Yeah, real man, it takes a real man. Man, it
takes a real man.

Speaker 1 (01:47:28):
Shout out to Honeymoons not anymore. The best part was
the sea turtle, So also shout out to sea turtles. Zero.
Shout out to the people that make our oceans dirty,
because I don't know why you would mess with these
beautiful creatures. We went on a little sea turtle excursion

(01:47:49):
and probably like it was a it was a baby
sea turtle and he comes swimming up like the six
inches to my face. The instructor, dude, Danny. Shout out Danny.
He was awesome. He was like, do not move, Like
if you touch it, I'll get fired, Like you could
go to jail. I'm just like sitting there underwater like
this sick that I don't have a GoPro on me,

(01:48:10):
and it's just getting closer and closer. And it was
one of like the coolest most like wholesome, almost spiritual experiences.

Speaker 4 (01:48:18):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:48:19):
So it was cool. Yeah, it was crushed, bro crushing
Uguay and me in the ocean.

Speaker 2 (01:48:26):
I hit the Nashville Zoo last week for the first time.
I'd like an hour an hour to spare. Were like
kind of in the area and we saw the billboard.

Speaker 4 (01:48:37):
He's just threw off. Let's go, Let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:48:38):
I was so disappointed though, because they're they're advertising that
red panda everywhere. Pump pumped it. I'm a big red
fan Panta fan speaking of masche Fu. Come on, bro Panda,
He's not He wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (01:48:54):
Broke.

Speaker 5 (01:48:56):
That red panda they have on all the billboards.

Speaker 2 (01:48:58):
Yeah, all the billboards all over time, Like, come guys
in Nashville Zoo. No, it wasn't there that exhibit.

Speaker 4 (01:49:06):
Did you ask anybody? Did you ask a person saying
popcorn in the corner, like, what's where's the red Panda?

Speaker 2 (01:49:10):
I couldn't find like someone reliable enough to ask a
questions too. We just went back to the lizard exhibit,
which was pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:49:15):
But have you seen Red Panda the movie? Yeah? I
don't think I have.

Speaker 2 (01:49:20):
I think about the Bowl girl, do.

Speaker 4 (01:49:22):
You guys know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 2 (01:49:23):
Yeah, the halftime performer who does the the unicycle and
She's kicked. Her name is Red Panda too. That's what
I was thinking.

Speaker 1 (01:49:32):
The Disney movie, the Disney movie he's talking about going red.

Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
Oh there is a Disney movie with the solid movie.
I haven't seen that.

of your honor right now?

Speaker 5 (01:50:22):
Just finished the first season nor I think so people

Speaker 4 (01:50:31):
I'm phenomenal. If you like Ryan Reynolds, are gonna like
that movie.

Speaker 5 (01:50:34):
Do you watch House of Dragon our Game of Thrones?

Speaker 2 (01:50:36):
I do, Actually, I think I finished three of the
last season of House to Dragons so far I got
to catch up.

Speaker 4 (01:50:42):
But you so, what were you at in House of Dragons?

Speaker 2 (01:50:45):
The last thing I saw was the the twins, the
one that pretended to be the other to go try
to kill.

Speaker 4 (01:50:55):
Yeah, yeah, got speak more vaguely, speak more vaguely. You're
gonna be oh disappointed in the finale. God, don't say sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry so disappointed. It just goes to
show you gotta binge watch shows instead of staying the day.

Speaker 2 (01:51:12):
I just watched one hundred foot Wave. Have you seen
that documentary?

Speaker 6 (01:51:17):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:51:17):
Oh my gosh, our coaches were talking about and then
I threw it through that on Insane.

Speaker 4 (01:51:23):
What's it about?

Speaker 2 (01:51:25):
Yeah, the biggest waves in the world and Portugal that
surfing surfing? It ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:51:31):
Didn't Edelman just do a podcast with one of the
guys that did this. I think he.

Speaker 2 (01:51:39):
Was one of the interviews in this Yes, Yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:51:40):
Games with names name shout out the boy. Yeah, dude,
that is a fucking crazy thing. Why was that Maui
In twenty fifteen during like Jaws, when they had that
big swell come in and we were on the small
little boat watching these dudes get towed in and hit
the like what hit those waves? It was insane and
pretentially the boat guys like driving the boats like he

(01:52:01):
if these guys fall, they could basically just die. That's
how big and terrifying these waves are.

Speaker 1 (01:52:06):
Would you laugh about during jows?

Speaker 4 (01:52:09):
Yeah, jaws is what the area is called.

Speaker 1 (01:52:11):
Got you got you? Oh that's my bad. That's my
bad during Jaws. That's bad.

Speaker 4 (01:52:17):
That's all good, bro, that's how I see you trying
to catch me. We're looking at it.

Speaker 5 (01:52:21):
You seem presumed innocent. Great, that's a great show too.
Check that one out. You can binge that.

Speaker 4 (01:52:27):
Yeah, I need to watch that show. I have a
hard time with shows, man, I have movies better than shows.
I think shows you show literally eight seasons, I know.
And that's where really in the middle of it, I
was like, Man, this is why I can't watch shows
because my add I'll literally.

Speaker 1 (01:52:42):
Just take it.

Speaker 4 (01:52:43):
I can't stop watching it.

Speaker 5 (01:52:44):
But you just argued for binging shows.

Speaker 4 (01:52:46):
I know, if you're going to watch the show being
of show instead of staying up to date with the show.

Speaker 5 (01:52:50):
Ye, you're like, but how are you personally with your
two philosophy is going to be able to enjoy a show.
If you're like my ad d, I can't just wait
for all the.

Speaker 4 (01:52:58):
Seasons essentially sit there and be like I got month
and then in the middle lose my life to a
show for and then in the middle of it you're like,
see that's what you got to binge it, man, so
you don't have to stay up to date on it.
The the binging part was because of if you're in
season two, is the season two of Pounds of Dragons? No,
season three just finished? Okay, so season three of House
Dragons finish season just let's say this thing goes six seasons.

(01:53:20):
If you finished the finale of season three, but you
can go watch season four, episode one, then that finale
is not as bad as you thought. It's just like, oh,
I can't wait to see what's next. Yeah, you don't
have a year two years I heard is the next
production for this for the.

Speaker 5 (01:53:36):
Before you start watching and then you're up to date.
It's tough conversation toil end of a finale. I know.

Speaker 4 (01:53:43):
I think when season four is going to come out
is when I'll probably start watching House and Dragons because
I still haven't even seen Uh, thank you crazy, I know,
I know, it's just too many storylines, and it's I
don't know, man, I always fall back on the things
I know, like Scrubs.

Speaker 5 (01:54:01):
I'm gonna watch it just easy watches if you don't
want to keep.

Speaker 4 (01:54:04):
Up the door, just in time. It's just I love
that show. Any heartbreak I ever had, will any sort
of adversity I ever had Scrubs. Yes, the first show
to come on. But yeah, I heard this show is amazing,
and that just goes. If you're gonna watch a show,
you should wait a couple of seasons, be out of
the conversations a little bit, and then you binge it
and you're like, oh shit, whatever, man, Yeah, let'sheit some

(01:54:25):
tear talk.

Speaker 5 (01:54:25):
Oh we got a good tier talk for you.

Speaker 4 (01:54:27):
Do you know tear talk?

Speaker 5 (01:54:29):
All right, tiar talk for those that don't know who
might be joining in, mister and missus Levis who were
probably tuned in tier talk. We're gonna tear a system here,
three all the way up to one. In that order,
you give a little description of why you like your
tier three, your Tier two, your Tier one. You can
also have an honorable mention if they just missed the cut.
The tier talk today will be Mayo Combinations Mayo combinations.

(01:54:55):
All right, So whether it's the way you like to
use Mayo the most, be our tier talk.

Speaker 4 (01:55:01):
Okay, Taylor, a draft, it's yeah, no, it's not a draft.
You're gonna start your three. So I don't know a
whole lot about Mayo. No disrespect to your game, will.

Speaker 5 (01:55:14):
If you don't know Mayo, it's just disrespectful.

Speaker 4 (01:55:17):
Here's a Mayo guy. So I didn't I when this,
when this teer talk was presented to me, I kind
of I jumped around a little bit. But my Tier
three and it's gonna take me back to bourbon steak
a little bit. Or you go to those kind of
fancy restaurants and they got the fries come out and
it's not your basic souce, but they bring on an
aoli on you, specifically the garlic aoli. Anybody who's watching
the show for a long time. Boy loves to fight

(01:55:39):
bad with a lot of garlic. And so Tier three
is going to go to garlic aoli, which is a
combination with Mayo.

Speaker 2 (01:55:46):
Have you tried to have like a flank steak or
something like that with a garlic aoli? That was like
our family, one of our staples as a family, like
my mom would it would be like our little fancy
like addition to the steak we have for that night. Yeah,
which really good.

Speaker 4 (01:56:02):
You bring up a good point when you go to
a steakhouse and it's like a faux pa to ask
for a sauce. Exactly, it's like that's dead. That's got
to be completely dead, Like what are all the sauce
you have? Okay, everything but the blue cheese. Bring it
to me and I want to dip and I want
to try to take out all the sauces with this
one steak and figure it out. So that's my Tier three.
My Tier two is a nostalgia Tier two for me,

(01:56:22):
and that is Chipotle Mayo. I think Chipotle mayo is fantastic.
You go to Subway as a child and you get
this sweet onion chicken TARAOKEI I would get the sweet
onion chicken tariokee sauce, and then I would add the
Chipotle mayo, which is added a little extra ump to it,
making one of the best sandwiches of my childhood. And
then I went a little rogue on my tier one.

(01:56:44):
I went a little rogue. I find it when you
combine mayonnaise with sour cream, buttermilk, dried dill weed, dried parsley,
dried chives, onion powder, garlic powder, fine sea salt, and
finally crack pepper. You mix it all together, what do
you get Ranch? You get ranch. So my Tier one

(01:57:04):
of mayo combination is gonna go to Ranch. Ranch.

Speaker 2 (01:57:08):
It's a great list.

Speaker 4 (01:57:10):
It's a great list that is mine.

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
And what you brought the attention to a lot of
people here today is very important, which is Mayo is
the base and used in so many other great sauces
and dips that people always say they love even though
they say they might hate mayonnaise one, which is just
a sigma I've been trying to crush the last couple
of years. So I'm just I'm starting.

Speaker 4 (01:57:34):
We're doing your work out here.

Speaker 5 (01:57:35):
We're doing the front lines in this podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:57:37):
Will back you?

Speaker 4 (01:57:40):
We uh? Now? In after Tier talk, whoever went, we
go around the room and we give one word. Will
We'll start with you.

Speaker 6 (01:57:46):
Tasty, saucy, yummy, veteran, solid.

Speaker 1 (01:57:58):
Good, hall of fame hyphenated.

Speaker 4 (01:58:04):
That would way better than I expect it, that way
better than I expected.

Speaker 5 (01:58:10):
My Tier three and it shares with yours, but just
aoli in general, I feel like anytime you're you're going
through a menu and you see aoli in the description
for whatever reason, you might not even know if you
like aoli, but it sounds nice, it sounds interesting, it
sounds unique. But any type of aoli where you're mixing mayo,
I think is a listen. I love fucking mayonnaise. I

(01:58:32):
love mayonnaise. Did you guys read Patty Mayonnaise is where
the love started?

Speaker 6 (01:58:37):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:58:38):
My tier too, that's got My Tier two is mixing
mayo with ketchup. Anytime I have fries. Obviously, if you're
at your Bourbons or your nice steak houses where they
have an aoli to come out with it, that is great.
But anytime I have fries, I want mayo, I want Ketchup.

(01:58:58):
I would say, two parts Mayo, one part Ketchup.

Speaker 4 (01:59:04):
I think that's right, two parts mayo one park.

Speaker 5 (01:59:06):
Do you know in Europe? I think it's European, but
they bring out both ketchup and Mayo together the little glass.
I think America needs to adopt that. I think we
need to take it on basically everywhere we go. My
Tier one simply put sandwiches, any sandwich, any sandwich, I can.

(01:59:28):
I can have mayo on the sandwich that's already on there,
but I want extra mayo that I can squeeze onto
the sandwich. That's how horny I get for mayo. I'm
telling you. I'm telling you that's my tiar talk. Hey, listen, helmets.

Speaker 2 (01:59:48):
Wholesome, horny.

Speaker 5 (01:59:50):
Yeah, that's what I wanted to hear.

Speaker 1 (01:59:54):
Overload cream two times.

Speaker 6 (02:00:02):
All right, Patty.

Speaker 4 (02:00:07):
Iconic, that's a good little gotta feel tough.

Speaker 2 (02:00:14):
I well, I mean you took a couple of mine.
I think the early route safe and sandwiches in general,
I've always been a believer there's really no American sub
that can go without Mayo. I'm gonna go number three.
I'm gonna stick to my New England roots. Even though
I am a hot lobster roll guy, but nice cold

(02:00:37):
lobster roll he's always made and tossed with some mayo.
People forget that. You know, all your like kind of
you know, chicken salads, all tho kind of suads. I'm
gonna do lobster salad. I'm gonna go a lobster roll,
uh tossed in mayo on a bun with some lettuce.
Then all that's kind of hit. Number two, I'm going
Buffalo Chicken dip. I'm going Buffalo chicken dip. You know

(02:01:00):
there's always a big base of mayo that is included
in a Buffalo chicken dip.

Speaker 1 (02:01:04):
That is your.

Speaker 2 (02:01:05):
Sunday Saturday, you know, amazing dip appetizer. That's a staple
at any kind of tailgate. You gotta have that. And
a number one. I'm gonna say a burger. I think
my classic best burger, like all American burger that you
know you can't go wrong with, is a bacon cheeseburger
with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and onion. If you like onion.

(02:01:26):
Sometimes onions I do too, but sometimes yes, sometimes no,
But I feel like.

Speaker 4 (02:01:32):
That is raw.

Speaker 2 (02:01:34):
That is the burger. You know. I grew up on
my mom's. My mom's pregnant Craving was a Wendy's bacon eater,
and I would go into the drive through with her
as an eight year old and smack probably four or
five Junior bac and cheeseburgers. And that's that's that is
the junior bac and cheeseburger recipe. And that's how I've
made my burgers and ordered them whenever I can my
entire life. So that's my list.

Speaker 4 (02:01:57):
Great job, great job.

Speaker 5 (02:02:00):
I would take the bacon off the burger. I'm more
of a purist, but you're so right about even the burger. Okay, sorry, sorry,
I love you.

Speaker 4 (02:02:14):
We're oh uh fantastic, Eli serendipitous.

Speaker 2 (02:02:22):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (02:02:24):
Hyphenated my qb.

Speaker 1 (02:02:27):
Oh G malt rushmore wow, good tears of all of
busting talks.

Speaker 5 (02:02:39):
That's emotional.

Speaker 4 (02:02:41):
That's emotional. But let him feel it. Let let him
feel all the emotions flow down onions.

Speaker 5 (02:02:52):
That's a good question, though, raw grilled.

Speaker 2 (02:02:54):
I like both. There's a place for both. There's a
place for both.

Speaker 4 (02:02:57):
Raw.

Speaker 5 (02:02:57):
I think raw horrible place for raw.

Speaker 4 (02:03:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Raw is the move more texture, it's better.

Speaker 5 (02:03:05):
And I love how you went with the colder lobster
role because a lot of people like the warm one
with the butter and everything else. But I'm always second
guessing that pick because Mayo is on the fucking colder one.

Speaker 2 (02:03:17):
But I would say I do prefer the hot.

Speaker 4 (02:03:19):
I didn't know you loved Mayo like this. I knew
you liked Mayo, but man, seeing this as wild.

Speaker 5 (02:03:24):
Yeah, Mayo's my favorite condiment, all right, Male's my favorite
condiment even when we were at what was it Joey's Oyster?
Oh yeah, the cold one lobster, roll fire God, great
tear talk, great tier, great tear talk. Will you've been phenomenal?
Do we have any I know? We got to get
my man out of ten? You got what time is it?

Speaker 2 (02:03:44):
Right now?

Speaker 4 (02:03:44):
We got a question, twisted question? But what is uh?
What time is it? Five minutes? Or what you got? Okay?

Speaker 2 (02:03:50):

You wake up in year twenty seventy four, what is
the first thing that you google? You only have like
one googleable thing? What's the thing that you.

Speaker 4 (02:04:24):
Go one googleable thing? And this is, in my opinion, emotional,
maybe the best twisted question we've ever had.

Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
This is tough. Yeah I want to I'm gonna go
through my thought process here. I'm thinking first timething in family,
you know, like who's still around for my family? Like
who can I find? You know whatever. I'm thinking sports
like recent champions I'm thinking like you know, if my
you know, Kentucky they won a national championship whatever, like Titans,

(02:04:55):
like super Bowl, like we get a super Bowl. And
then I'm thinking financially, I'm thinking my stock portfolio and
looking at you know, what the what the S and
P is looking like? So looks like, yeah, I'm going to.

Speaker 5 (02:05:10):
Go twenty seventy four. So the people that have died
have died, Like we're just frozen and we wake up
and you get Google.

Speaker 4 (02:05:16):
Yeah we were Austin Powers, we go in the crowd chamber,
we wake up.

Speaker 7 (02:05:20):
Yeah, that's a good wrinkle in it. I fifty years
where Will was going with it that like you're going
to go back, like you're not going to stay?

Speaker 1 (02:05:27):
Oh is that for?

Speaker 2 (02:05:28):
Yeah? Are we going to go back.

Speaker 7 (02:05:30):
I think you're going to go back in time. That's
why you only have one Google searchtch so you.

Speaker 2 (02:05:33):
Can use that information to your advantage when you come back.

Speaker 4 (02:05:37):
Okay, okay, done. I would Google so it's today, it's
August what twenty sixth I would look up. So I'm
going I'm getting at Google. I'm coming back. I would
google what were the lottery numbers for whatever? August thirty first,

(02:05:59):
twenty four Done? Send me back. I'm going to get
a ticket. Probably not, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 5 (02:06:08):
Even that idea makes your stock one that much that
much nicer. One you understand the few ticker symbols that
you're like, I'm right, I'm going literally all in on
these mothers.

Speaker 4 (02:06:17):
Yeah, Fortune five hundred companies right now.

Speaker 5 (02:06:19):
But honestly, I just don't think I could not just
sit at the laptop and just type in Nebraska corner
Huskers National championships in football, and then you see twenty
twenty five in there.

Speaker 4 (02:06:32):
Bro, what if you saw nothing twenty twenty six like
you were just three in a row. That's like that's
basically say, like when and then I get to come
back on.

Speaker 2 (02:06:40):
But you're gonna fuck it all up you're gonna change
the whole.

Speaker 4 (02:06:43):
Yeah, but fly.

Speaker 2 (02:06:46):
No, hey ya.

Speaker 5 (02:06:47):
I'd be so sick because then I'd be trying to
tell you guys what I saw and they'd be like,
he's insanely delusional. We gotta get him to a hospital,
and then it would happen.

Speaker 4 (02:06:54):
But what if you if you google that and it
said Nebraska corn Huskers National championships and you said the
last one is nineteen nine seven, then you come back
and you're like, we're gonna be great this year with
the night. It's like, you know, that's not true. Yeah,
that's that's like googling Like that's like, that's like googling roo,
like go putting her name in there and then you

(02:07:15):
could find out if she's alive or not, or what
she's doing with her life. Then you go back and
you essentially know what she's doing. It's maybe something you
don't want to know. I think I do want to know, though,
you would want to know when you die that type
of situation.

Speaker 5 (02:07:28):
Yeah, I kind of want to know when I'm dying.

Speaker 4 (02:07:30):
That's very I don't know, brave or I don't know
if that's brave courageous. Yeah, that's courageous. Of you, I wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (02:07:40):
Just let me know.

Speaker 2 (02:07:40):
Man.

Speaker 4 (02:07:42):
Now, that's so I'm googling the lottery tickets for the upcoming.

Speaker 2 (02:07:46):
Yeah, that's the right answer. I think I will stick
with my thought process and do the same thing with
the stock stocks and just look up Yeah, who Finance,
get the S and P five hundred. Few stocks I've
never heard of that probably aren't businesses that even exist
yet that I know when they do exist, they're going
to pop off.

Speaker 10 (02:08:02):
So just google performing companies in the last Yeah, that's
decade in the last year.

Speaker 5 (02:08:17):
Biggest misconception of Will levis.

Speaker 2 (02:08:20):
The biggest misconception of of Will levis I don't know.
I think I just wish more people got an opportunity
to just meet me in person, get to know like
kind of who I am as a dude. I'm not
outside of photo that I think a lot of people
think I might be with, you know, like that commerc

(02:08:41):
the crazy commercial. But this was an awesome piece that
they put together. They did one for and one for me.
But I think that gave a good look and so
kind of what my day to day is looking life
right now. But yeah, I don't know, I don't really
know what the public perception of his of me per se,
So just to help keep doing the right things to
show people who I am.

Speaker 5 (02:09:02):
The good thing is like you've spoke about it, and
now you can almost lean into the to the weirdo stuff,
Like everybody who knows.

Speaker 4 (02:09:08):
You knows you.

Speaker 5 (02:09:09):
Now you leave the world you know, now you just
start leaning into the bullshit.

Speaker 4 (02:09:15):
In my opinion, no, no, I think that's a great
way because the people that will just follow you online
will never that will never know You're like, who cares
that their opinion is. So you can be as goofy
and as weird as you want, play into it, and
then everyone else is like the right people know. People
are like, yo, Will's a weirdo. It's like no, man,
if you knew them.

Speaker 5 (02:09:31):
Exactly, it's like, you will really weird like that. You're like, no,
he kind of just.

Speaker 4 (02:09:35):
Fucks around, Yeah, which is kind of the best compliment. Yeah,
when he kind of just fucks around really not.

Speaker 5 (02:09:41):
For sure he's fit for a straight jacket.

Speaker 4 (02:09:43):
It's tough when everyone's like, hey, is Will really love
Nebraska that much? I have to be like, yeah, he
really believes that, dude, we're rooting for you. This year man. Yeah,
got that over under five and a half game for
the testsee titians and I will be betting the over,
don't Will, Will just I am betting the over on that.
