Main Sections & Key Discussion Points

1. Kay’s Career Pivot: Leaving NFL Network and Building Up & Adams

[56:51 – 65:00]

• Kay reflects on her time with Good Morning Football, describing it as precious for the relationships and unique chemistry with co-hosts Nate, Peter, and Kyle.
• On leaving the show:

  “I felt so good about the work I did there, and I knew that I didn’t want to stay. I had an offer to stay, and I was like, ‘Man, do I really want to do this for four more years?’ Do I really? Is this the right time to leave?” – Kay Adams [63:29]

• Launching Up & Adams with FanDuel:
  • Credits FanDuel’s willingness to let her shape the program: “They were just so willing to support me and say, ‘What do you think this should be? What kind of guests?...’ I’ve always been a fan-first person.”
  • She admits, “I wouldn't say I run the show. I just host it. I’ve never had a master plan; I just know what works and trust my gut.” [59:25]
• Discussion of bringing freshness to sports TV: embracing mistakes, breaking the fourth wall, and making the viewer feel present.

2. Challenges of Hosting and Navigating TV/Media

[65:01 – 75:00]

• Kay contrasts the creative freedom on Good Morning Football and Up & Adams versus the rigid structure of shows like ESPN’s Get Up.
• Will and Taylor share stories about prepping for national TV, the pressure to have “a take” on every talking point, and the pitfalls of producers pushing for hot takes over authentic opinions.

  “You don’t need to always have some scathing take. You can be in the maybe zone. I certainly do.” – Kay [72:32]

• Kay’s role as a connector: She focuses on good interviews, asking real questions, and letting curiosity drive her content.

3. Personal Stories: Vulnerability, Hustle, and Growth

[91:01 – 104:16]

• Will and Kay discuss fixing their teeth for TV, joking about “veneer podcasts.”
• Kay shares about “doing anything for airtime” early in her career: taking on unpaid and overnight gigs at SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, seizing every opportunity to learn and be seen.
• “I would do anything to be on air. You are begging people to put you on the air. And I would do anything. So for like, midnight to 6am I would... anything for reps.” [95:51]
• She points to her break when an NBC exec (a fantasy football fanatic) heard her on the radio and offered her a shot.
• Her move to New York, early struggles, living off couches to chase the dream.

4. Life, Relationships & Dating Philosophy

[115:14 – 127:04]

• Kay candidly admits her career tunnel vision has meant little time for dating, and most of her relationships have jumped quickly from “first date to relationship.”
• She describes herself as “ready to settle down” and discusses the qualities she values—loyalty, stability, intelligence, and wit.

  “I need to feel secure. I need somebody who makes me feel secure. So loyalty is more important than anything.” [122:01]

• On first dates: “It should be romantic. It should be planned entirely by the man... First date, they have to pay.” [119:29]
• The group jokes about “cuffing season,” with Kay recognizing she’s in a new, more open phase of her personal life.

5. NFL Deep Dives: Fan Bases, Coaches, Trades, and the MVP Debate

[131:21 – 159:33]

• The crew dives into coaching changes, specifically the firing of Brian Daboll in New York, and possible replacements (Lou Anarumo, Joe Brady, etc.).
• Kay lists her favorite and most challenging fan bases (Packers as “family,” Bears as “the beef”), noting the unique behavioral traits and loyalty of each.
• A robust MVP discussion:

  “You have to say Jonathan Taylor. He’s not going to get it. They’re going to put... but like if it’s between Drake Maye and Jonathan, you should give it to Jonathan.” [154:26]

  • Kay and the boys break down why Taylor is the most valuable player, referencing his stats and impact compared to QBs.
• Other NFL topics hit:
  • Playoff predictions and the strengths of the Patriots, Colts, Chiefs, Ravens, and more.
  • The role of trades/free agency, and Will’s admitted disinterest in tracking “who’s on the block.”
  • The importance of defense and leadership characteristics in building teams.

6. Fun & Wholesome Tangents: Animals, Pranks, The Locker Room, and Laughs

[162:13 – End]

• The classic “Bud Light question”: What would Kay do anything for? Her answer: “I would do anything to have a baby fox as a pet!” [163:44]
• Spirited sidebars on favorite animals, domesticated foxes, skunks, and dream safaris. Kay shares she cried on safari from the emotional experience.
• Locker-room humor about pranks and why guys “will do anything for a good laugh.”
• Reflection on meaningful moments, both on and off camera.

[B]

Your intro just now, like we were all kind of Ryan High. Mitch came at me from my tone of voice before we started the intro for you to kind of radio, radio me in there. Like I'm getting in my car in the morning. I got a long drive ahead of me. It's cold outside. I'm waiting, frigid. I'm waiting for the heat to turn on a little bit because I didn't proactively think I need to turn on my car before I get in the car. I'm just gonna go turn on my car and I'm hoping to God the AC works a little bit faster than I want it to. You calmed the viewer down.

[A]

You calmed me down, the driver down.

[B]

Yeah. So for that you probably saved a couple accidents today on the road.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

So if you're out there and you're driving right now and you've already subscribed, probably at a red light, thank Will Compton in the comments for saving you from Getting into a car accident this beautiful Tuesday morning. Boys. Hell, we had a hell of a football weekend. We did the whole entire recap. If you're looking for that. That's. We have a college recap and an NFL recap. I can't remember which one came first, but they're all there on the YouTube now, so it doesn't really matter when they came out, but we had a hell of a weekend. A hell of a weekend. Just as it from. From dudes being dudes, ripping around. Jack's living in sorrow in November. That's okay, because Thanksgiving's right around the corner. Will Compton, he had himself a little date night. I'm sure he got himself a little something extra on the own thing too. Because if date nights aren't free, those things aren't free, brother.

[A]

It's gonna cost you, baby.

[B]

And myself. Saturday afternoon, I was at Dave and Buster's. Not just with one, not two, but with five children. Rocking solo. And I'll be honest, I crushed it. Key is to this whole thing. Have more fun than them. How was the weekend, Will?

[A]

Good little weekend. We had a nice Movember Gillette event on Friday night. We got to do pizza Friday. They're watching Peter Pan, the live version. Not very good. Not a very good movie. Would not recommend to anybody.

[B]

Okay. Okay. Gotta see it to know.

[F]

Not Hook.

[A]

Maybe it's Hook, the Peter Pan with.

[F]

David Hoffman who's like Hook. If you're saying that's a bad movie.

[B]

Oh, let. Let them. Let's find out if this is.

[F]

We gotta figure that out because that's. That's Spielberg.

[B]

Can you look at the live action movie I watched?

[A]

Was not very good. I. I thought it was Peter Pan. I was driving and getting pizza and Charles, like. Do you want to do the old version of Peter Pan or the one that came out in the 2000s?

[B]

Oh, oh, oh. He's talking about.

[A]

I think it's called Pan.

[F]

Okay. There are a bunch of live actions. I just wanted. Because I'm not trying to.

[B]

You saw this one? I saw this one.

[F]

Looks incredible.

[A]

It's not paying.

[B]

Is it that one? Is it that one?

[A]

Let me see who the main actor is for.

[B]

Please don't be. Is that him?

[A]

No.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

It's not that one.

[B]

How many Pans are there?

[A]

Dude, he wants that bootleg. Peter.

[B]

It wouldn't be subtitles. Was it that?

[A]

It wasn't that.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

No, no, no, no, no. It was not that.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

Fun fact. I haven't seen.

[F]

Cool. That's fine.

[B]

Continue. Onward. Doesn't matter which one Will saw.

[A]

Went to Hank's coffee shop Saturday morning, went to the farmer's market, had a little good time at the house, and then took the wife. We went on a little date night for dinner at abba. Abba. A book.

[G]

What was your thoughts?

[A]

I liked it. I loved it. I thought it was a fire spot. They got like Christmas trees and stuff hanging up everywhere. You have no clue where you are. The food was very good. The service was very good. We had a great time. Then we went to see an indie film over in. Is it Belmont? Bellevue?

[F]

The Belcourt?

[A]

Probably, Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Garbage.

[B]

Oh, what was the movie?

[A]

It was called the Mastermind. About like a heist in a museum. And I'm like, all right, I'll give this a shot. Charlie didn't want to go see Predator, which really chapped my ass.

[H]

So it's like National Treasure.

[G]

She learned her lesson.

[A]

Oh, bro.

[C]

I.

[B]

What did Charlie think about the movie?

[A]

Yeah, it was not good.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So she, she apparently, apparently there's a, there's a, there's an audience for indie films that like go to the festivals and stuff like that. They're more about it for the art instead of the Sundance. They're more about it for the art instead of the box office. But this, this was as bad as it gets.

[B]

Can I.

[A]

A couple giggles, like a couple like good lines for some last. But overall, I had no clue what I was watching. I wanted to leave within 20 minutes. I sat, I, I, I tried to invest myself in the entire movie. I did invest myself into the entire movie, but just a brutal movie, top to bottom.

[B]

Is this it?

[A]

Yes, that's it right there.

[B]

A couple of things.

[F]

Yeah, that's the critic score. I feel like those are the very indie films where it's a high audience. I mean high critic score, low audience score. I'm with you. Like, I appreciate good movies, good art, but if the audience score is so low and the, the critic is so high, it feels like it's always going to be a snobby film.

[B]

The only thing that matters is the viewers, the people. Viewers rating this, this whole. Like you were talking about it. Like you go to a movie, people aren't really about the movie. They're more about the art. That is so dumb to me. Like you can have a fun self expressive. I want to tell my side of the story in this very unique way, but it's got to be good.

[A]

I can't.

[B]

You can't fucking. You can't do that, man. You can't fucking do.

[A]

The bell corps was like, my first red flag, but, you know, I'm embracing it. I walked in, I was going to go, let's give a little combo here. They did sell Raisinets, so I was fired up about that. But I walked in. You know, you're kind of crammed in, this 4040 person. Apparently Belcourt was built back in, like, the 1920s, which is fun.

[B]

That's fun.

[A]

I'm sitting down. A little uncomfortable sitting down. Kind of doing one of these to where I, like, my arm is around Charo the entire time.

[H]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm watching this thing, and it's going to be some heist at a museum. Like, okay, you know what? Didn't get to watch Predator, so let me watch this heist at a museum, Right?

[B]

Maybe you'll culture yourself up a little bit and be like, hey, boys, you got to go see this movie.

[A]

This is like the 1970s. It very much felt like you were in the 70s watching a film that just released in the 70s. So we're watching this heist. This is just a local at a local museum that just took a couple paintings, like, put stuffed them in, like, pillowcases. And he was like, hey, boys, this is what we're going to do. Like, he doesn't have a job. He's a husband and father. He's not around. He wakes up late. His wife, she's the worker and grinder and takes the kids to school, and he's just sitting around. Like, they go to dinner with the family, and he's just listening to his dad make comments, you know, about, hey, he did all. Your buddy did all this. Like, why couldn't you do anything? And he's like, this is where I'm gonna get my lick. I'm gonna steal some paintings at a museum. He steals these paintings with a couple of his boys who. One pulled out a gun and they made the girl. Just made the girl, like, hide under. But there's. There's no intensity going on. Like, it's just like the camera set up and you hear the quiet and the silence. And she's. He's like, get on the floor. And she's just, like, laying on the floor. And these scenes are brutal. And so he steals these paintings. And I'm like, all right, I wonder what his come up's gonna be here. He's. He's sitting down with his mom. Hey, mom, can I borrow some money? Like, I'm working for this architecture or this architect. I'm gonna get you this money back I'm thinking he's gonna do some high level right now. He steals the paintings and he's just, just looking at him in his living room. I'm like, is he gonna sell them? Like, what, is he gonna go to the black market? He just looks at the paintings. Then he goes and hides them out at a farm. And I think he was just gonna keep the paintings. And then there's this. There's like, hey, if you bring this guy in, he makes the local paper. You bring him in, we're gonna get $2,000 in reward. I'm thinking this couldn't have been what he thought.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Taking these paintings, he gets detectives in his house. Within a day or two, his wife and kids leave him. He takes the paintings. Like he gets caught by like some mob. Like they stuff him in a car. But very. No intensity, no like, no, like peak vibe of the movie. Then he goes, tries and freeloads around, like, gets caught, takes the paintings. Detective kind of catches him. They haven't arrested him yet. There's a warrant out for his arrest. The mob or this other group from his buddy that went with him. They take the paintings from him. They basically forced him to go drive to the farm and show him where the paintings are. He willingly does it. And he's just kind of sitting there.

[B]

Like, really attached to these paintings.

[A]

No. And he's like, what am I going to do next? He goes to his buddies and he stays overnight with them. They drink a lot of beer. And the wife sets him down the next day and she's like, I can't have you in this house anymore. Like, you got to stop talking to my husband. So he leaves there and catches a train. Tries to muster up 11 bucks and change to go to the next spot. Goes to the next spot. He's at his all time low and he's trying to figure out what he's going to do. And he just takes a purse from a lady so he can take her money and go buy a ticket to the train. Goes into this march, some political march, and this guy's like, hey, here, you dropped the purse. Because he took the money out. He's like, all right, I got my cash and I'm gonna get out of here. And the guy behind him's like, he throws the purse down. The guy picks up, he's like, hey, you forgot this purse. And he hands it to me. He's like, thanks. Gets beat over the head with a nightstick. They throw him in the back of a of like a cop car and drive him off because he's part of this march. And then the film ends. Oh, dude, Black. Yeah.

[B]

And it just says Finn at the end. Yeah, Finn.

[A]

Apparently in indie films, you're supposed to sit and watch all the credits and everything else.

[B]

Your ass is up there.

[A]

Hey, let's get out.

[B]

What are we doing, Charles? Probably. Hey, come on, sit down.

[A]

We're walking and, you know, I like, look over at it. She's grinning. She's like, what'd you think of the film? And I was like, you didn't want to go to Predator for this.

[B]

Good on Charlie for trying something new.

[A]

But now we know she lied to us. She knew it wasn't a good movie. She's just. She's more of like, the whole art aspect. Indie film. She's trying to explain to me, like, why it's important to the audience that still continued to sit there and watch the credits at the end. And I'm like, I don't. Yeah, that's. That. That was. Anybody that tells me, oh, this film made it to a film festival right now that holds zero credit in my eyes. Right?

[B]

You don't believe in Sundance anymore.

[A]

You know, they don't want to appease the box.

[B]

French film festivals that happen anymore. You're out on out. Here's the thing, dude. You deserve a lot of credit because I know you're a big Predator fan. You also deserve a lot of credit because I feel like a common movie watcher will see a movie halfway through, decide the movie's ass and leave. I think that is a big no.

[C]

No.

[B]

You should always sit and watch the movie. And this when you're telling your story. I'm falling asleep. Like, it sounds like nothing's really happening. This entire movie. There's things happening, but it's like, not at the excitement level that we're all hoping it can be yet. So credit, you know, for sitting through that, not staying for the credits.

[A]

Can you. Can I tell you where some more credit will probably be thrown my way?

[B]

Go ahead and, hey, lob this one up so I can dunk on them for you.

[A]

So since we're watching this movie, you know, this was part of the first half of the Husker game. Huskers at ucla.

[B]

Stop you right there.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

That is. Now I. Charles, a great wife to you. She's a great person. Someone needs to have a sit down conversation with her when it comes to the fall and when the Huskers play. Because if we sit on this bus and we all know Will Compton, what's he want to do on Saturdays when the Huskers are on. Aren't on a bye week. He wants to watch the game. There's this situation. And then there was your birthday last year.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I don't know if I'm not the guy to have that conversation, and I know. Damn sure you're not the guy, but maybe there needs to be some sort of Inception that takes takes place with. With Charlo this off season, or it's like, Saturdays, Huskers Saturday.

[A]

So I would like.

[B]

You ring a bell every time. Huskers. Like, you ring a bell and give her a piece of candy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, Inception. Inception. Inception.

[A]

I'd love to be putting bullets in her chest about this, but this one was on me. This one. I. I brought it up.

[B]

Like, you let me talk about drawing like that the whole time.

[A]

Yeah. I was gonna. I was gonna cut in there at some point.

[B]

You should have just.

[A]

You just. You kept it going. And I'm sitting there thinking, like, we were going over. I was like, oh, my God. I was like, the Huskers kick off at 8. Like, we're gonna be in the movie. And she's like, oh, no. And I'm like, that's all right. I'll be able to, because this is a movie. Since we're not going to Predator. I was just letting her know, like, I'm going to be tapped in on YouTube TV with the Husker Game, and she was completely fine with it. However, in this indie film stuff, do we talk about this niche audience? I'm checking the Husker game, and some lady. No lady. Leans over, and I'm like. I, like, have my jacket up. I have the screen on as low as possible because I know we're kind of crammed in. I'm not trying to. I. That's a vibe. Like, don't have your phone out and everything else, and you have the light.

[B]

Beaming off of you.

[A]

But it wasn't that much of a light. And she caught it one time because I just adjusted like this in my seat. She's like, excuse me, sir. That. That. That light is really bothering me. Can you not. And I was like, oh, I'm sorry.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I close. I close the phone. So I don't get to keep up with the Huskers.

[B]

You go to the bathroom.

[A]

I folded like a lawn chair. Like, she kind of.

[F]

I think that's honorable. For that lady who probably really, like, carved out some time to be at the Bel, even though all of us probably hate it. That's big of you. I respect that.

[B]

What you should have done at the end of the movie, though, is look back and go, was it worth it?

[A]

Yeah. I'll tell you what, those that it, like, I sat there and I was enraged for the rest of the movie. And I like, watch the rest of.

[B]

The movie, but maybe the movie was actually good and Will is just blinded by anger.

[A]

I was so angry that if she brought it up again, I already had another story in my head to kind of like go back and like, hey, we're first time parents and our kids are. We're away from our trial for the very first time. I was just checking on. We were just checking you were just gonna lie to this man. That's how enraged I was getting about.

[H]

Getting checked my son's place.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

When I was like, you know, I was keeping it very 35 key. But that didn't happen. I did like, she was sitting and watching. I had to kind of like go by her and I'm like, you know, as big as I possibly can, like, trying to like nudge her knees a little bit, like. But yeah, I didn't get to catch like the first. It was almost halftime when I started to tune back into that. Damn.

[B]

And it sounds like Latif had a hell of a game. I've only been in that situation one time and I. I did say something and it wasn't me. I went and saw. It was me, my mom, my dad, my brother. It was like a little family. We're gonna. Hey, we're gonna go watch a movie. We went and watched 42, the Jackie Robinson movie. And there's a lady. It's like a relatively, relatively packed film or theater. And there's a lady sitting behind me. What? This is a Karen. Before Karen's were Karen's. That's everybody was every fucking. Every like, white guy being mean to black guy thing that happened. The lady behind me is like, oh my God. Oh. And then like they make N word or something like that. She's like, I cannot believe they would say that. Like, hey, the movie's taking place at the time when he's breaking through barriers, right? Like, he's breaking through. He's the first black guy to do it. It's ruffling feathers of white people. That's the story. And I think the fourth time, I don't even remember how old I am, bro, but I'm sitting there and by the fourth or fifth time, she's like, I can't believe they treated him like that. I look Back I go, hey, we get it. I look like, oh, we understand. This is not good. But, like, this is what the movie's all about.

[A]

Can we just.

[B]

And I sat back there, dude, and my dad leans over to me. I was nice. We kind of fist bumped. And I was like, I think that was like my. When I became a man, like, that was. Oh, I stood up to a Karen right there. It's like, hey, sweetheart. Honey, we get it. Like, that was bad that people said and did those things. However, the movie is how he overcame those things.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So we got to see the bad to end up at the good. We can't just be like, black guy plays baseball. Home run, home run. Home run. Guy's a gangster. Everyone loved. And it was like, this black guy. We should let the rest of the black guys in here. It's like, no. Like, oh, we had no idea black guys were good at sports. No, bro, you gotta show the white guys being mean to the black guy first. So it's like, look how much the trials and tribulation that he had to get through. And it's like, imagine how bad the guys that weren't so good at the sports were. You know how they treated that guy. So anyway.

[A]

And just don't give us color commentary on the move, bro.

[G]

Yeah, like, it's like she didn't know how the story ends.

[B]

Hey, I'll tell you when. When's been. She's been hitting that little. Like, a scene comes on. Like, we've watched Harry Potter now seven times. And Natalie, her kids came over so that if there's five kids, they sleep over on Friday night, we put on the Harry Potter movie. After we get back from the Gillette thing. I'm juiced up because I come home, like, every Thursday. I come home, Natalie, and all the kids are there, and it's like, it's awesome to have a house. She's, like, full of kids. But we're watching Harry Potter and, like, you know, the Sorting Hat comes out. They go to the stand in front of the Sorting Hat, wins. Like, he's gonna go into Gryffindor and what's his name's gonna go to Slytherin. And I'm thinking, I kind of pulled it to the side of the room. He's like, you can't do that like that. That's. That's. You gotta. You gotta tell your kids, like, listen, there are certain kinds of people, and if you go down this route, you're not going to be the kind of person that people want to Watch a movie with, like. If you've seen it, let them enjoy the experience. So we had it. We had a good combo that night because we. I can't have old Jackie Robinson win Rebel. Become the Jackie Robinson girl. Can't have it. We get it. It's bad. We didn't want that. So good on you, man.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. It was. Because the initial date night was playing for Friday, but that once we started to commit to the Gillette thing, we kind of had to get some moving pieces. So it's kind of like an urgent moving. And then I realized on Saturday, I'm. Oh, shit. I booked this, like, while the Huskers play. Yeah, but go to. Go to abba. Abba, whatever. I think it's a great spot. I went.

[G]

The food was definitely super high quality. Wasn't pleased with some of the portions, but, like, I saw you got the kebab. That's kind of crazy.

[A]

I didn't get the kebab.

[G]

I thought it was on the.

[A]

I got the chicken thighs, and they should. The lady was like, you should mix this. This chicken thigh dish with. She's like, I'll throw in some rice for you. She's like, it's awesome. Mixed in with the juice and the sauce. Yeah. Troll got the kebabs because she was asking Charles Insanely hungry, and she was looking at doing either the beef or something else. She was like, get the lamb and beef kebab mix.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

If you're wanting a lighter meal.

[G]

The fish was incredible.

[A]

See, I'm not. I'm just not a fish guy.

[G]

Yeah, that hurts.

[A]

So I was like, should I get the salmon? Like, dude, salmon sucks. Oh, no.

[G]

I wouldn't say I heard. I forget what it was, but it was awesome.

[A]

Yeah, it was cool.

[G]

The vibe was great. It reminds me of, like, it would be, like, in LA or Miami type thing.

[A]

So that's cool.

[B]

I'm hung up on this fish thing for a second. Hold on. Halibut. You get like, a crusted halibut that hits.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Salmon, I'm kind of with you. Salmon's just like, anyone can do it.

[G]

I like it all.

[B]

See, I. Dude, it's me. In the landlocked states, I have a harder time. Sushi, for whatever reason, raw. I don't know why, but my brain's like, you could handle this.

[A]

But, yeah, I love sushi. I'll eat a good sea bass.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Chilean.

[A]

Yeah, some sea bass.

[B]

I don't even know what a kafilta fish is. I love to say it, though. We had a Rose. Spicy tear talk. Best date night spots. Oh, best date night spots. Where would you put ABBA in Nashville? Date night spots.

[A]

Probably not in the top three.

[B]

Oh, wow. So he liked it, didn't love it.

[A]

Yeah, you're young, 20s.

[G]

It would be a good. It would be like top. Top 10.

[A]

Yeah, it's a good spot. Like, we love trying different spots. I mean, it's hard to beat getting up top and having a great view at Bourbon.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Cane.

[B]

And something about the appy with the fries and the three different sauces. Like, you gotta have good appies on a date night.

[A]

Yeah, there's spots that I'm just not thinking about. I suck with names, so I'm just not remembering. There's a Mexican spot over 12 south or 12 south we like to go to. No, not Locust.

[F]

Lucas. Nashville officially got their first one star Michelin restaurants. They got three of them this past week.

[A]

Oh, really?

[F]

It's Locust, Bastion, and the Capper Seed. So.

[A]

Capper Seed sucks.

[F]

All right, There you go. No fish allowed.

[G]

Michelin one stars are like indie films, bro.

[B]

Yeah, that's a great. That's a good take.

[A]

You would hate cappers.

[B]

I have.

[G]

The way you said it, I already. I don't even have to see the menu. I'm like, he's right. I promise he's right.

[A]

You'll be paying a lot of money. You talk about portions. That's a spot that takes themselves so goddamn serious on creativity. You just get, like, little tastings. It's 12 courses, but it ain't. You barely getting a full course, bro.

[B]

What was the place we went to in Germantown that one time was like, you, me, Taylor, and Charo. Like, there's a handful of other people and it like, the chef would come out and explain the story of the dish.

[A]

Do you remember that Bobo was there?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I forget what I think it was.

[B]

Like, called, like, tailored or something like that.

[A]

It might have been Taylor.

[B]

No, no, no. Hey, they're. They're bacon wrapped. Quail fire. No, this is a spot that's like one of the brick old spots in Germantown. They. It's like a little tucked away. We all went there. It's supposed to be this, like. I'm pretty sure Bobo put us on it, too. It's definitely a Bobo spot. And we get there and this, like, chef comes out, introduces himself to the entire place. It commands the stage, tells a story about how he grew up, and that is the first dish. You're going to get ass.

[A]

Here's. Here's why it got. Here's why I got a bad vibe. We were on some vitamins going in there. So when they're sitting there talking and getting long winded about these stories, I'm like, for the love of God, I need the next course.

[B]

And bro, he. So he brings out a bunch of dishes. One of the dishes was the steak. And we looked at each other, we're like, steak kind of ass. Like, the steak was like our least favorite thing. This dude, the chef comes around and goes, and I know my big Titans players need some more food. So I brought you guys some extra steak. Brings a whole mound to steak. And it was like the one thing we're like, I really don't want this.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Oh, dude. I have a theory that Cookout and some of these fast food chains are in bed with these types of restaurants. Because the first thing on my mind when I'm at one of those restaurants is where am I going to eat after this? Like, I gotta go pick up something.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

And you always end up at one of those fast food chains.

[B]

Hey, best date night spot though. Tier one, home. Keep it home.

[G]

Dude, what you making?

[B]

You know me, I'm making whatever Jason's making. Hey, keep it in house.

[G]

What are you choosing Jason to make for your date night.

[A]

And how you going about? Because I'll be honest, when you say home, unless it's like you're. Unless it's like you're in a relationship and your girl's coming over, if you're at home with the wife and you're like, hey, we're gonna do date night at home tonight. Like, to me, it would be all on the guy to put set up an experience. Not like, I got the chef. We got, hey, we're gonna do date night at the house tonight. Seven o'.

[B]

Clock.

[A]

Jason's gonna have some.

[B]

Yeah, five o'.

[C]

Clock.

[B]

Five o' clock with the Lawan house.

[A]

Let's go get in the closet real quick, put on something nice and we'll sit down with hopefully something like a.

[B]

Nice soup or something. Especially this time of year. Weather's breaking, getting a little colder. Little soup, little chicken on the side, something like that. Some. A little like me, little rice fixtures, a little design around it. Jason Crush, is that. Are you getting dressed up for our date night? As dressed up as I get on a daily basis.

[H]

Like that.

[G]

Yeah, all black on this is me.

[B]

Yeah, all black. I'm actually dressed up today. I'm wearing gray. Yeah, I like that.

[G]

It's a number one home.

[A]

Number one home.

[B]

Number one Home is for me. Tier two, tier two. I like bourbon. I like that. I like to take on bourbon. Tier three, I'll throw in a sushi spot.

[G]

No co say no code.

[B]

Oh, yeah, no go. Oh, that's the corner on the east. Honestly, 210 Jack, for whatever reason, like, Taylor and I probably go on, like, four dates a year and 210 jack in the fall. It's just a staple. Warm, belly up to the bar, tapas. I love that. I love it.

[A]

My tier three, I would say something fun, like. Like an escape room, like, to where you're kind of doing something like a game together. A tier two, I would say, like, you're going to have dinner, but, like, on the side, you're like, almost at a workshop. You're, like, making something along with, like, whatever. The courses are.

[B]

Like, ceramics. Yeah.

[A]

Like, you might be painting something. You might be. What do we do that one year? What do we do that one year? Like, what did we make? We were having cocktails. We either made like, a candle. That sounds. I mean, that sounds gay, but it was a fun time. We, like, made a candle.

[B]

How you make a candle, you just melt wax. Right.

[A]

Building something together, essential oils in it.

[B]

Call it a day. Right? Yeah.

[A]

You're like. You're like, building something together. You're doing something, like, as a couple to where you're, like, creating something. I would say my tier one is a staycation. Doing a staycation to where you go out, you get dinner, you can either stay in the hotel, watch a movie, we're out. You know, for my birthday, we were out and, like, we're having cocktails after. We're having a good time. To where you're just. You're being boyfriend and girlfriend again. And, you know, you have the hotel room, you're sleeping, you don't have the kids with you. So that would be. I would say staycation would be my tier one.

[B]

That's nice. You love that. South Hall.

[A]

Yeah, South Hall's been a good vibe. Or we've done a state. We've done, like, family staycations there. And one where it's just like Charl and myself, but, like, just getting out of the house, like, doing, you know, home to me is hilarious.

[B]

Yeah, home's awesome to me.

[A]

It's like just getting out of the home vibe of being, like, dad or being husband and it's like, let's go be some young Thundercats again.

[B]

I don't know. Just in it.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Sometimes you just having some fun. Just having some fun. Get out there. Yeah, but something about home, man.

[G]

State fair, amusement park, water park. The big three.

[A]

The big three.

[B]

Do we want to announce our true classic gunner of the month?

[A]

Dude, let's announce our true classic gunner of the month.

[B]

Give a run of applause for Derek, baby. Not only one guru of the month, but ran away with it. How do we feel?

[I]

Terrific. I did not know I ran away with it. I was told it was very close in my own head and so very excited.

[A]

Ran away with it. The. The tagline with true classic. Look good, feel good, play good. You make us look good, you make us feel good. And we're out there. You're executing your ass off. You crush it this past month.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

So our. Our gooner. Our gooner of the month, Derek. Tell us a little bit about yourself, Derek.

[B]

Oh, hey. I will say on Inside the Bus for the dads, you've done a great job, obviously, behind the cameras, but your appearance on Inside the Bus with the top 10 beers, phenomenal.

[I]

I've been holding that in the chamber since 2018.

[B]

Yeah. And it seemed like you did. You did it. Worked it in front of the mirror like you were. You knew exactly where you're going with every single sentence, everything. That's incredible.

[I]

Inside the Bus. Great podcast.

[B]

Terrific.

[I]

Great host.

[A]

Made you feel comfortable.

[I]

Hospitable if you could. A little bit about me. No, just Pittsburgh born and raised. I've been here for about what, two months now, I guess. Official on for the dad. Shout out for the dads. Moved to Nashville like five years ago and am the happiest I've ever been. I love you guys. This is awesome.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Let's go.

[I]

I do like indie films. That sucks to say out loud.

[A]

So I can see knowing that you had the beer rankings list and everything else, I don't see you being an indie film.

[I]

I got like a balance.

[A]

You can be a guy that appreciates what goes into.

[I]

Takes time. I don't.

[A]

I need something like they had. We had up Transformers. Like, give me some Transformers. I need some. I wanted to see Predator. Yeah. Yeah. Give me. Give me a Michael Bay.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

What is it about Indian. Indian indie films.

[I]

Indian in the Cupboard is a great movie too. It. The work that goes into it. Like, I can appreciate all of the that goes into it. No matter how bad it is. Like, I always try to find an appreciation for like that. Because even like a bad song or bad. I'm like, you know, somebody put a lot of time to this. It was worthless time, but they put a lot of time into It. So I try my ass off to like it.

[B]

Looking back at your 10 beers or your top 10 beers, are there any that you thought, man, I forgot to put this one. I should have put this one in there.

[I]

Not forgot. There's some that I have gotten since I wrote that blog in, like, 2020 or whatever it is. And I had a lot of people commenting. But, like, the tough part about that is there's situational beers, and then there's people who are like, dude, you forgot the beach beer. And I'm like, the beach beer is not a beer. You're just drinking a beer on the beach. Like, it has to be, like, a thing that's a part of it. Some people did say, like, the ski Slope lodge beer. And I was like, that's a decent one because you're getting back. You take all your clothes off. It's, you know, a nice little beer in a hot tub or something. But Now I stand 10 toes down on that list.

[B]

You love it. Love it.

[A]

I stand 10 toes down on that list. And, you know, the whole indie film thing, I can do. I can do a better job of appreciating it. But my mindset going into it, I had no clue what this world was like. It's like, oh, we're gonna go see a movie called the Mastermind. There's gonna be a museum heist. And do not go in with the mentality of, like, I'm about to watch an actual good movie.

[B]

Was this guy at any point in the movie a mastermind?

[A]

No.

[C]

No.

[A]

He stole a painting, did it very poorly. They got caught within 24 hours. The detective was at his house. His wife and kids left him. He was a bum. He's going and trying to mooch money off other people and gets rocked steel money, then gets thrown in the back of a cop car. And then it just ended.

[B]

Yeah, fair enough.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Now that's still.

[A]

It's a fantastical treasure. That's a heist.

[B]

That's a movie. National trailer. So underrated, dude. Rips. Should we get some tear talks in?

[A]

Let's get some tear talks in.

[B]

This one comes from Tom, and the last name I can't pronounce. Hashtag tear talk. If you could chill for a day in any historical era, which one would it be? That's a great one.

[A]

Roman Empire. Marcus Aurelius.

[B]

Chill for a day.

[A]

Some of the best Stoics were slaves. Facts. Some of the best stoics were, man.

[B]

I would probably say, like, the Roaring twenties, like, right before that crash, like, bootlegging's going on. Everyone's dressed to the nines 24 7. Something about Gatsby too. That movie. Not an indie film, but still a fantastic film. I think it'd be fun to get out there, walk around a little bit, wear a top hat, see what it's all about. Have to be in the northeast.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Have to be.

[A]

This one's from Caleb Ingram, maybe the biggest tier one of all tier ones. What is a life changing quote or lesson you leaned on during an adverse time in your life when you were ready to quit?

[B]

Never ready to quit.

[A]

Do what?

[B]

Have you ever quit anything? Football.

[A]

Well, there's definitely been times where I.

[B]

Wanted to quit a quote.

[A]

Mine is nobody's coming to save you.

[B]

That is nobody's.

[A]

I'm gonna save you. Nobody cares. Work harder. Some people wait for eight. Some people wait for fate. Others create their own destiny. Those are the. Those are like the big three that have always stayed kind of true in my head.

[B]

One that my daughter knows verbatim now is those who suffer before it's necessary suffer more than necessary. I love that quote and I feel like it works so well with like all the uncertainty of what could happen. And you're just, you're torturing yourself with the thought process. Process of things you can't control. Just get to that point and if it's the worst case scenario, you'll handle it then. If not, hey, look how much you didn't have to worry about it. That's a big one for me.

[A]

Well said, jp. You love a good quote.

[G]

I love a lot of good quotes along the hard working ones. I love one from Hormozi. It's like somebody or I don't even know if it's from him, but somewhere out there there's somebody that came from less than you and has more than you. Which means the only difference is the work, which is just hits you hard in your soul. Then I also love the one you have. You might have to help me on it. But it's like the more defined your why is, the more clear your how becomes.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Which I love that one because it's. I think so many times we, we struggle with our why and then it makes everything else that much harder.

[A]

Yeah. Because a lot of times you chase a lot of things too for like surface level. Right. For like surface level reasons. Yeah. So getting all the way down to why you want something and that being kind of your right motivator for how it gets done. Another one you were bringing up work. I, I always love the Quote too. It's like the work doesn't care who does it. Yeah. That's a fire one.

[G]

Direction is more important than speed. Oh, love that one.

[A]

So many slow until smooth. Because smooth is faster than speed.

[H]

Yeah. My dad has always said that one because he related it to when he used to race motocross.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, yeah.

[H]

Just hit home.

[A]

Here's a tear talk too from Winnie the Bish 33. Waffles are pancakes for the bus and crew. Which is better?

[B]

Waffles.

[H]

I will say something about something about like a chocolate chip pancake.

[A]

Oh, something about it.

[H]

But like a plain. A plain waffle versus a plain pancake. I'm going waffle. But if you're going chocolate chip pancakes over a waffle, I'm going chocolate chip pancakes.

[B]

Something about the. The texture of a waffle over a pancake. For me. Just crispy. You bite into. It's nice and soft in the middle.

[H]

The cups of syrup.

[B]

It's just like, come on now.

[A]

The only thing that the game is a kid.

[B]

You put it in all little holes. Yeah.

[A]

And I'm with you on waffles over pancakes. But the thing with me is just getting them when the. The craters are big. And you just gotta take so much time with the damn butter, bro.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Hey, that's why you gotta spread it.

[A]

It falls in the morning. Like scooping it out. You're like, I want to kill this waffle right now. I just gotta. I gotta take my time.

[B]

Yeah. The. The assembly process for a waffle takes a little longer than the pancake.

[A]

Sometimes I'll just stop a quarter of the way through. I'm just like, I gotta eat this waffle. I'll save this buttered part for the last. My last bites, dude.

[B]

Yeah. The waffle. And you put all the fixings on it. You can do with the pancake as well. But I just feel like the waffle dress is better. You can put the. Whether it's chocolate chips you want to put on it, the strawberries, the whipped cream all. It just dresses nicer.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Than the pancake does.

[A]

I do love a good pancake, though, man. Especially you. Throw some peanut butter on that pancake.

[B]

Hey, that is really good peanut butter.

[A]

That is nice peanut butter, man.

[B]

Peanut butter goes a long way.

[A]

Yeah, butter goes a long way, man.

[B]

Evan Coop says, could the back of the back of the bus boys rush for a TD on the goal line in the NFL? Hashtag, tear talk. Yeah, I don't see why not. Depends what defense is happening.

[G]

I'm not going through the middle, I'll tell you that much.

[B]

JP's not scoring. I'd push your tush.

[A]

So on the goal line, let's. Which. Let's get. Be specific. Which yard line are we doing, the one or the two? Three.

[B]

Go three.

[A]

All right, so ball is placed. Balls place at the three yard line. This is any. Any scenario. You think you put the boys in a running back, a jp, Mitch, whoever, get in there.

[B]

It's got to be no fair dodge. It's got to be a down hole. Down hill, gap scheme, play. Can't be. Hey, we're gonna buck down with the tackle. Guards gonna go up. You're gonna go into the sea gap. That's too much reading. I need ISO. I need wedge. I love ISO. Put the full back back there and be like. Just follow him. And then hopefully along the way you have good blocking up front, probably the left side, and it works out. But if there's not good blocking, no shot. You think Damon's getting in there? No.

[A]

Demons getting killed.

[B]

Demon. Demon is getting murdered. Murdered. I think the only person, though, yeah. Mitch has got a shot.

[G]

Mitch and Jack's body, like, yeah. Are built the most for it.

[F]

I mean, look at a photo of me next to Derrick Henry. I'm literally getting in that end zone. Without a doubt. If we do run ISO. Yeah, that's going to help a lot.

[B]

But ISO. ISO's the play.

[H]

Give me a toss.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

I would put.

[F]

If we had to put one person.

[A]

We'Re all getting our whole team.

[F]

We're putting Mitch out there first. We're going to put Mitch out there. And then second, third, probably Mitch again. Third comes around. Maybe give me the rock. I don't know. I would put my trust in Mitch, though.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

Here's what I like.

[G]

I'm closing my eyes, running through there.

[A]

Dippy going to run in the back of an old follow over.

[B]

Oh, yeah, bro, that. That is such a.

[H]

What about. What about Matt Malone?

[C]

Broken.

[A]

He's fumbling.

[H]

Who do you think does worse, Matt or Jared?

[B]

Jared.

[A]

Jared.

[H]

That was Matt.

[F]

Matt's gonna be pretty bummed to hear that one.

[A]

Nobody is scoring unless the offensive line just moves the line of scrimmage.

[B]

If they score with their guy in the end zone, you got a shot.

[F]

We trust our hogs.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

I got Cade McConnell blocking for me.

[H]

Come on.

[B]

Come on. I think I'm getting in there, bro. God, again, such a miserable.

[A]

You get in there. If the offensive line moves the defensive line into the end zone.

[F]

Damn.

[G]

He's saying you're not Making someone miss.

[A]

No, you're not making anybody.

[B]

You're not making nobody miss.

[H]

I mean, I'm not saying I'm making anybody miss, but I think, like, I'm not going to get stonewalled. I think I could fall forward for a yard or two.

[A]

You think?

[B]

The problem is, you think the chances are, buddy, you can. You probably falling forward for a yard or two, but you're getting met a yard or two in the backfield. Like, you got to make. I'm just letting you know, man, it is.

[A]

So you think the chances are higher of you getting stonewalled? Are you falling forward a yard?

[H]

Stonewall. But I'm gonna say I got. I'm doing it for the boys in the back.

[A]

Yeah, we're supporting it.

[B]

I. I believe you're going 100 miles an hour that first play. I believe that that second play, after what just happened you in the first play, that's when I think that's when it gets. That's when question marks. Doubt creeps in your head of like, oh, my God. I've never been touched like that.

[H]

I would feel more comfortable trying to catch a touchdown pass and rush for a touchdown pass.

[G]

Mitch versus Nate Wiggins. I got Mitch.

[A]

Nate Wiggins is taking a strike.

[B]

Yeah, we got to get you on the gridiron. We got to get you a tryout or something like that.

[H]

Delaney talked about doing the tryouts. Like, I'm about that. And J.P. yeah, there.

[G]

But there's also no way that's real, right?

[B]

There's no way that's real.

[A]

Delaney, that was a movie. He's like, yeah, they do tryouts every year.

[B]

I don't think.

[A]

I feel like we would have already.

[H]

We would have heard of it.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Dude. We had a guy during camp one year at the Titans camped out outside the fence with a sign being saying, give me a shot. And he was out there for, I think, over a week. Yeah. The Titan. Tennessee Titans do not hold open tryouts for. For the main NFL teams. Yeah. Doesn't happen. Yeah, we gotta get you out there for an OTAs, though. Hopefully the next Titans head coach, he's a big busting fan. We can get you out there, get you in for, like, four days.

[A]

Just get him a goal line rep. Midge Powers. Yeah, we need to create this.

[B]

Yeah, it should happen.

[H]

I don't think there's a DB that would, like, sign up for it because, like, they'll be either. Either I do something against them, and then they probably get cut, or they, like, just go ridiculously hard at me and be like, this guy's a Get him the out of here. Why am I even doing this?

[A]

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. On that note, on that final Bite by Mitch.

You brought to you by McDonald's. We have a Final Bite segment the Final Bite Segment presented by McDonald's all right, going into the Final Bite, this Final Bite segment is presented by McDonald's, a sponsored segment that delivers our sharpest takeaway heading into the weekend. Whether it's a bold prediction, a hot take, or storyline flying under the radar, the Final Bite gives fans the one thing to keep in mind before finishing their week or tuning into kickoff. Let's dip in some denim.

[B]

Let's dip it down.

[A]

Let's dip in some denim. And where dipping in denim came from is McDonald's does have a new Buffalo Ranch Zhang, a tangy zang of buffalo with creamy cool of mild ranch. It's mild and wild and at the same time, it's a sauce that balances itself and complements our crispy chicken. Love myself a McChicken or a McCrispy. A McCrispy chicken sandwich or McCrispy strips that Sherm introduced us to last Thursday on the Thursday night football stream. Or it pairs perfectly with a snack wrap. There's a new sauce in town, and it's at McDonald's. Tangy, creamy buffalo ranch. Order now.

[B]

Now, we talked about dipping and denim because last week when McDonald's came to us and we're like, hey, we want to promote this zesty buffalo ranch. We want you guys to have a take along with it. Shermshaw ripping back and forth, we started talking about dipping and denim. And I see in about 12 point font on the screen here, it says, what are the dipping and denim parameters? Sherm, do you have those? I don't. Oh, you just thought that. I thought that could be something that we established here on the pot. I think here's what needs to happen this week because you're going to the Navy this today. I'm hitting up old Navy today. Got to. Have to. And we need to get denim. Doubt. We need to do a field trip over to a Mickey D's. Get us. And we need a dip in denim. For real. Post that photo and then challenge the tier ones and to also dip it in denim. Right. I did. Parameter set, parameter, parameter, set. Take the photo and then you guys take a photo. Hashtag dipping in denim. And if you know, you know, chef's kiss. If you know, you make a McDonald's.

[H]

Commercial, dip it in denim.

[B]

Don't add it.

[A]

Dip it in denim.

[B]

Yeah, I'm down. I'm down at dipping denim.

[A]

Do you have a final bite?

[B]

Yeah, my final bite. Something for you guys to chew on, nibble on a little bit. And it happened yesterday. It actually happened today. But we're. The shows came. Comes out on Tuesday. This happened Monday. Dable firing. I'm gonna go on record saying that's a mistake. You shouldn't have done it. You find a little bit of juice. Russell. The Russell Wilson saga ended. Everyone doesn't like Dable. He needs to go. He gets his quarterback, the one he's most excited about in this draft. He comes in hims cam scatter. Boo. What do they create?

[C]

The.

[B]

Create the creatine Caucasians. We got juice flying all over the place to where this media market of the New York Giants is now being uplifted. They're winning games. They're at least, at the very least, extremely Competitive in games. Jackson Dart goes down, gives himself a little concussion. He's in the protocol right now. Regardless of how this season ends. I believe they should have gave Dable another year because what happens, you go on a coaching search. The the gm he goes and picks a guy. He finds this guy's a. Maybe he's a suit. Maybe he's very serious individual. You have very unique personalities when it comes to Jackson Dart and scam Cam Scatterboo. How is that gonna gel with this new head coach? It seemed like Dable was like firing all cylinders with these boys and I think it should. You should have at least gone into the first seven, eight weeks of next year before you make this decision. I think it's a. It's the wrong move by the Giants. That's my take.

[D]

Good take.

[B]

How do we feel about that take? Good take. Anybody disagree with the take?

[H]

Who would you like to see as a Giants new coach?

[B]

Too early. I found this out right before we walked in the bus.

[A]

I would say the firing got warranted over the last like again they've been ahead by 10 points in four games a season in the second half, the two losses that they had being up with the Denver Broncos and then this, this past week against the Bears. Doesn't help himself out again going down. It's fourth and goal. Defense gets a penalty. You're on the half yard line, you opt to average. We're still going to take our three points.

[B]

Yeah. Shoulda. Should have went for it. Should have put Mitch Carsley in the backfield and ran a goal line play.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So should have done there.

[H]

I'm getting in that end zone.

[A]

It's going to be a split reaction. I don't see any benefit of firing your it's just you don't really see a whole lot of benefit of firing your head coach in the middle of a season.

[B]

You really don't. And it all it does is cause more concern and lets the players understand that it's over for them. I don't disagree with the you're up by 10 in the fourth and you lose. That should. That should very rarely happen. But that can get better. Who knows if this coach is going to jail or this coach wanted Jackson Dart if he agrees with the personalities. I think it just it's a very unique situation. You should have kept the coach because the personality is fitting for the situation. I but the you lose four games being up by 10 in the fourth quarter. All the reason in the world to fire head coach but this one to me is Very unique.

[A]

Yeah. I feel like too, all the things that was like making day ball great, especially when you look at his first year where he had some success, is kind of like getting some culture wins. And I feel like even though you've lost your guys again, being up in the fourth quarter like a culture guy, culture wins. They still take place. Even though you get beaten down, losing your quarterback, you've been without Malik Neighbors and Cam Scatter. Boo. Defense hasn't really done anything. They haven't stood up even though they have guys all over the place defensively. So I feel like that's like. I see. I understand why it happened. I think it. It's just tough for anybody to get fired in the middle of the season. You know you're going to get rid of them. You can easily do it right. Right out the rest of the year.

[B]

Wait till Black Monday.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait till Black Monday. My, my final bite for McDonald's is going to be Jacob Rodriguez. Should be talked about a top five guy in the Heisman conversation as a linebacker. I don't know where he's at on the odds right now. I don't even think he's anywhere on the odds for Heisman, but he should be somebody strongly considered as a defensive player getting more notoriety in the Heisman conversation. Right now he's averaging 8.8 tackles. The last defensive player to be in the Heisman conversation, Manti Teo, he had about 113 tackles, seven takeaways. This Jacob Rodriguez is averaging more tackles to where he's going to blow that out of the water. He has seven force fumbles alone. Ten takeaways on the season. Three what picks? Three picks. Yeah, three picks, seven force fumbles. He had 14 tackles this past week against BYU. Got an interception, recovered another fumble. But let's put. Let's get Jacob Rodriguez. He's starting to get on the map. Let's get him more on the map going into this weekend when you're dipping in denim with McDonald's.

[B]

So your take is we need to talk about this guy more.

[A]

Yeah. He has no odds on the fantasy sportsbook. He's not. He's not in any conversation. There's a few articles out there, but he needs to be in the conversation as a possibility for a defensive guy in the Heisman.

[B]

Wasn't Jabril Peppers and the Heisman conversation?

[A]

Yeah, he was for like a little bit. Like, I know coming in.

[I]

I'm pretty sure.

[B]

I think he went to New York.

[A]

Did he?

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Honey Badger.

[B]

Honey Badger. That was right around the same time as Manti.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Right around the same time. Did Sue.

[C]

He didn't go.

[B]

Sue went.

[A]

But that was sue win. That was before Manti.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to figure out the Manti thing. Manti.

[A]

It's guaranteed. Nobody's been there since Maytateo. As a linebacker.

[B]

As a linebacker. I mean. So the take is talk about this guy more. I'm saying let's get him to New York.

[A]

Yeah. The take is Jacob Rodriguez should be in the Heisman Trophy conversation.

[B]

I love it. I'll disagree, especially because we have McGuire on.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The way he was talking about him to my. What's next? He's getting the whole team up in front of the weight room.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That fires me up. That's leadership right there. I love that he's got an elite mustache, by the way.

[A]

He is all in on the Movember movement.

[B]

What else can you ask for? What else can you ask for? Should we get into this episode with K. Adams? Boys? Feel good. Any parting thoughts?

[C]

[B]

Here it is.

[A]

Finally on bus with the boys. JP's not on here.

[B]

No, he's not. But he was here earlier. You know how guys get around pretty girls.

[A]

He gets a little nervous.

[B]

He walks up here, okay, good to see you. All right, out of there because you don't want to last. You don't want to spend too much time.

[C]

You really start to figure out, yeah, he was wonderful. He's very married. He's very like adults. Like, I feel like he's growing in front of my eyes. It's nice to see. I wish I would have been invited to the bachelor party. That's what I came all the way down here to like, give him for that. Like, I would have loved to do a drive by wherever they had their bachelor party.

[B]

Just pop up in Greenville.

[C]

Pop in, buy him a drink, buy him a cold Bud Light, do some push ups. Great time. Yeah.

[B]

Your show. Can I just tell you, Every Tuesday, we do your show.

[C]

Thank you.

[B]

When we do your show.

[C]

Thank you for doing my show.

[B]

We, we come on. They the people. Hey, can you hear a fine. Can you see her? Fine. All right, great. You're gonna come on in a little bit and then you go to break and you start having a conversation with the other gentleman.

[C]

Who's Matthew Hamilton.

[B]

Matthew Hamilton in that you'll start asking questions like clockwork. Tomorrow we'll do this Will. Will start answering you back. Oh, and we have to go, hey, Will. Like, she's. They're not. And finally your production team's like, hey, by the way, she can't hear you.

[C]

Or see you, but it's just popping.

[A]

You are every single week, every time. And the flow that's happening. Do we think the Rams. Do we think, like, a response? It's like we're all having a conversation, and then they got to tell me.

[C]

Hey, it's that Midwest vibe. You just want to dig, right? And thank you guys for being on time. Thank you for being really on the program. I don't know that that happened. They should just, like, let. Let you guys flow.

[A]

Yeah. I'm like, ah, I don't know. I think if you do that, I will. They. They can't hear you.

[B]

Yeah, they can't. He'll be in the middle of a take, going through it, Then you'll ask, and he'll, like, kind of get through what he. His first original thought was way better than a second thought.

[C]

It is very difficult to interview two people on, like, a zoom or on anything, and you guys somehow finish each other's sentences. You guys hold such space for each other. I don't know that there's a team because we're holding hands now. I love this. That is easy. Because I was worried about. You can ask my production. I was like, I don't know if the both of them together is going to be difficult for me. And you guys have just been amazing. Amazing. Can we fanduel hold hands? It's beautiful.

[B]

How has it been running your own show coming? And I want to get into good morning football and all that.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Really starting to make your mark. But, like, you being solo, what were the original, like, worries, concerns? You obviously went off the diving board and like, hey, we're gonna give it our best shot here.

[C]

Not worried about that. I, like, I sort of just feel like I'll land on my feet. I have this just idea in my head that I'll be okay. I wouldn't say I run the show. I would say I host the show. Like, I am not a. I'm not good at business. I'm not good at, you know, leading necessarily, But I know I think what works. I think I know. And I'm really guided by what the fan feels. I think I've always led with that in my career and asking you questions, you questions. Whoever I'm talking to in for sort of forming my point of view, I've always been like, a fan first person. It's why I love YouTube. It's why I love FanDuel. Like, it's, you know, sort of knowing your audience. And that led me. So when it came to creating content solo, I just knew I really wanted to interview people. That's my strength. I like talking, I like conversation. I'm naturally curious. So that part wasn't hard. Partnering with fanduel was really necessary. I don't know that I could do it otherwise because at the time especially, they were just so willing to support me and say, what do you think this should be? What do you think we should do? What kind of guests? Oh, you want Taylor Lawan on every morning? Let's try to see if we can make that. Or every week, let's see if we can make that happen to get his point of view. Like, I sort of have that. That idea. Even Daniel Jones, right? That was like, oh, you want Daniel Jones on your show every week? That's. He doesn't talk very much. But I just have those sort of. Those sort of ideas that they were willing to support. But as far as, like, running it, I wouldn't say. I mean, I don't even run my life. Like, I like, they can all tell you. But yeah, it's obviously like having a good team. Like you guys have here, the welcome wagon on busing with the boys. You guys had like candy and coffee for me. Like, that little stuff goes a long way. So it's just been really. I don't. I won't. I wouldn't say that I have some master plan, though. I just have never operated that way.

[A]

Well, we got some cleaners in here immediately. Okay. Next week we're like, let's get some deep clean.

[B]

Hey, this. This office is running way different. You walked in today, it's cleaner. Like, every Monday we have a candle lit in there. Yeah, every Monday I walk in and there's like the debris, the smelling debris of our Thursday night stream.

[C]

Like, boy, it smells like in here.

[B]

It smells terrible. And then like Wednesday by Wednesday, like kind of finally clears out before the next Thursday stream. Food comes in and messes it all up. No, I walk in a day, dude. It's clean. Things are orderly, put together. We get done with the intro for Bussin and Sherm's playing like meditation spa music in the side. There's an essential oil fragrance coming out. I'm like, what? We do it. We're all playing. Yeah. Okay. This is how. Sorry for the mess around here. The cleanest the shops ever been.

[C]

Estrogen walked into the building with my team, and it felt great.

[B]

It was like a pre estrogen before the estrogen.

[C]

I feel like once in a while, you need a little of that energy at least to get the place clean, you know, dust off some stuff.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Hold this. Like, rechange the standard.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Reset our expectations. Okay. Love, sweet candy.

[B]

Let's get the 8th and roast coming in.

[C]

Bench press.

[B]

Yeah, that was. How did that come up? Because I just walked up, and you're like, yeah.

[A]

She walked into to our nest, and as men, we're like, hey, our guests, we like to do bench press. Let's get on the ride.

[C]

Little grunting.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

He asked me if I wanted to slap a Lucy in, and I was like, I should have done that before.

[A]

I was like, jp. I was like, jp, chaos walks in, you get a little nervous, like, you want to bench press.

[C]

I tried. I tried.

[B]

You impressed?

[C]

Oh, did I?

[B]

Yeah, I thought maybe one, but you kind of went down. Yeah, this is kind of easy, boy.

[C]

No, I thought that I did one, and then you called me out and said, you got to bring it all the way down, dude.

[B]

You got to bring it all the way down.

[C]

Yeah. And then I did. And then I, I. I kind of did one. I was. I was proud of myself.

[B]

You should be.

[C]

Thanks.

[B]

I think you. You blew my expectations going back to.

[A]

What Taylor was talking about it. So it doesn't seem like you were nervous at all going solo. Like, I'm thinking you're kind of. No, you know, you are essentially betting on yourself because you had. You guys had an incredible show going with Good Morning Football. It was very fun. It was energetic. It was something I felt like in our. When I was on the Titans, like, something we had on every morning, and it seemed different than what you're used to seeing. And then the news of you going solo, like, I'm assuming that there would probably be nerves in doing that, but listening to you, it sounds like you kind of had a vision.

[C]

No, I wouldn't say I had a vision, Will, but I. It was such a good feeling. Like, I had. I had felt very good about sitting with fanduel and what that could look like. And I thought, okay. And at that point, Pat was still with fanduel, and I loved that. Like, I loved what that looked like and the support FanDuel sort of gave him and the creative freedom, honestly, which now, gosh, this is my fourth year. I'm. I look at it, and I'm seeing other people do that and that where content creation can go and I feel like I'm ahead of that, which I feel like I made the right move at the right time. I loved Good Morning Football. Being on in every important facility is, like, invaluable, right? You walk in and you have this three hours. It replayed for three hours. So six hours. You're on in the most important places where, like, you guys sort of saw me and. And did my thing. But I felt so good about the work I did there, and I knew that I didn't want to stay. And it was. I had an offer to stay, and I was like, man, do I really want to do this for, like, four more? Do I really? Is this the right time to leave? And I. I very much feel great about when I left.

[A]

How hard was it to leave with the relationships that you guys. The chemistry and everything else?

[C]

Yeah. I mean, there was, like, a nut, though. I don't know that they'll ever. I'll ever be part of something. Like what it was like being, you know, with Nate every morning. And then Peter and Kyle, of course, just for, like, absolute lunatics when it came to football and loving football. So I think I. But I think I did. I realized it while I had not at this point. When I left, Nate had already been gone, so we already started mucking with the first one.

[B]

Step out. Correct.

[C]

He did. He left. And then some. We did. We. We had, like, Lashelle McCoy in there a bunch. We had. I think I'm a Cordy or two in there to fill in that, like, you know, person who sat next to me. But I will say no, I'll put, like, Sean o'. Hara. But I would say, like, you know, Kyle and Peter were always the editorial compass. They were, like, Peter's, like, dialed in. This is what everyone's talking about. This is what matters. Like, the way his mind work, Kyle's ability to sort of go there. But I think at that. At that time, like, we're talking 2016, it's actually insane to think about, like, how much. How long ago that was. We were really interested in, like, breaking the fourth wall, which back then, you didn't really do. You guys bring that to get upset all the time. I think that that's now prevalent and normalized in the content space, whether it's linear TV, YouTube, whatever. But we were just so down from the beginning to say, oh, snap, my mic fell off, or, oh, like, we got tripped up on this wire, or, like, I dropped an F bomb, or like, whatever that happened. That was, like, sacrilege in the way that TV Used to be handled. We were just. And we really, like, loved and embraced those moments. And then by the time Covid happened, when everybody had to sort of embrace those kind of moments, we were ahead of it. We just really. Without talking about it, we loved that vibe. And that vibe, I think, has continued with. With that show, of course, and in our respective worlds and really in sports content altogether.

[A]

Yeah. I feel like all four of you guys are crushing it.

[C]

Thanks.

[B]

Oh, absolutely.

[C]

Thank you, Nate.

[B]

I mean, Nate. Was he on Good Morning, Good Morning America now?

[C]

He was CBS Mornings.

[B]

CBS Mornings.

[C]

Gotcha. Yeah.

[A]

He's a monst. Peter's been crushing it. Yeah, Kyle's been crushing.

[B]

Kyle does a great job with the monologues.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He kind of dives into the.

[C]

It's unbelievable to watch.

[B]

Does he write all of that himself?

[C]

I think so, yeah. I mean, he's.

[F]

He.

[C]

He had his process, I would say. So. Like, Kyle is so prepared. Like, he's so prepared to attack that kind of moment and knowing what it is. And it's like, I don't prepare. So to watch that and, like, how much goes into it is, like, remarkable. And he's just, like, whip smart. Like, quick as a whip. Get all those. All of them. We'll have to do, like, a reunion.

[B]

That would be that.

[C]

I'm looking at these pictures, like, holy moly. We'll have to do a reunion show at some point. Yeah. But thanks for watching and, like, caring about that show. Thank you, guys for, like. Like, it really only worked because players wanted to come on. And. And I think that from your perspective, being in that locker room, it was like, holy. They're. They're attacking this from, like, a way of. More of. Of levity and celebrating us instead of not.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, it was.

[D]

It was.

[B]

Yeah. Because you go in in the mornings, like, 5:36, 6:00am and you guys are. You're on every single TV in the cafeteria.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It's like, even when the volume wasn't on, you can see the level of entertainment because we're just having fun the entire time. And then you guys come to Nashville, and I remember, like, ca. Or somebody called me. I was like, do you want to do.

[C]

Oh, yeah, the draft.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Good morning football. I'm like, bro, yes. That would be awesome. And I walked in there, and I'm like, obviously very nervous. I remember walking with Kyle, and he's kind of giving me the low down. Hey, this is what's gonna happen.

[C]

We were like, at Tootsies, right?

[B]

Yeah, we're at Tootsies.

[C]

And dude, it was Tootsie smelled like what? Tootsie smells like shop.

[B]

Usually.

[C]

We got there like four in the morning and I was like, this is interesting. Okay, there's like people still making out in the bathroom, but here we are.

[B]

You guys on it the whole time. It seemed like a level of improv too, where you guys had these stuff on the monitor, but you just kind of kept going and feeling each other out. It was really fun to be a part of.

[C]

You guys have that vibe. It's like the you can kind of count on each other to pick each other up kind of thing. Those three guys definitely had that.

[A]

Oh, stop.

[C]

No, it's true.

[B]

Stop it some more.

[C]

It's true. Then you guys walk in to get up. When we've talked about this on up and Adams like, to bring that energy is meaningful and I think it's really valuable. And I mean, I hope you guys are getting as much out of it as. As they are, because you guys are really effing bringing it to that. And you guys fly up there to do that. I'm not kidding. It's real.

[B]

I just, you know, it is. You're sitting in here in a room with a bunch of other guys and you're complimenting us. And so there's a level of us being like, how do we show supposed.

[C]

To be about to say?

[B]

Because everything you're saying, like, I hope is true.

[C]

You guys work hard at that. Or is it like, how much do you guys Prepare for those 24 hours? If.

[A]

Are you talking about for get up?

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I mean, we'll do the. The pre production call. It's just. It's such a new world because you got to be on. You can't just sit there and kind of like podcast. Like you're going to have.

[C]

Have spaces and you're live. You're live on tv. It's totally different.

[A]

He looks at you and says, what if I told you this? And then you have to have something formulated to where it's more of a national audience and not necessarily the niche audience to where they might know personalities.

[B]

And stuff like that. Yeah, because there are like, when, like last week, Will goes to his friend's wedding and. Was it last week or two weeks ago?

[D]

Two.

[B]

Two weeks ago. He go. He goes to his friend's wedding, doesn't get to watch a whole lot of football. He comes on the show Monday and it's me, Greg Olson and him, and he's like, hey, boys. Full transparency. I wasn't able to watch a whole lot of Football. And so we can kind of put that out there. And then me and Greg can kind of be like, hey, this happened. Like, oh. And then you can talk about it. Like, there's none of that taking place. Espn, like, you have to know and watch everything. The stressful part for me is like, we get this call Wednesday and the last is about every single game taking place. So there's whatever 16 games those games are taking place. And then we're going to talk about four of them, but I don't know the four we're going to really talk about until like 5pm oh, is that true? Yeah, because they're, they're. They're getting together their run of show. And so, you know, like, cowboys are mostly be talked about, you know, gets fired. If they were on a day, we know that would be talked about quite a bit. But like, they really get your opinion on all of the games.

[C]

But do they press you for a take? Like, you know, like, you be like, like, Taylor, you're the king of like.

[B]

I don't love the weave. I love the weave. Weave.

[C]

I feel like you practiced. You, you. You got into the bob and weave on up and Adams a couple.

[B]

Yeah, that was, that was my first time. And that was like, I was like, bro, I feel like she wants me to do takes, but like, yes, I'm.

[C]

I don't want to give a take. So I'm like, taylor, give it to me.

[B]

Taylor, how do you feel about. I'm like, hey, them boys are trying hard out there, right? They're doing the best they can.

[C]

At that point, he was too close in it. Well, I thought, like, he just came off the field. There's no way he's gonna. But years later, you're still. Still sort of.

[B]

You see, even now, like, like on your show, I said the Brock Purdy thing, I said, hey, I have. I have a source. Well, yeah, because it was my first time being like, okay, I could see what Kay wants. I understand, like the world they kind of want me to live into. Let me dive into that. And somebody did say that to me. So I'm like, let me make this a take.

[C]

Oh, no.

[B]

I do that. And because I'm close with Kittle and.

[C]

Christian, it's the worst.

[B]

They reach out and they're like, bro, what. What the are you doing? I'm like, yeah, you're right. What am I? And then they go to the super bowl. So I like, go to the media days. I'm like, hey, just so you know.

[C]

But also, like, you're welcome. Because I lit a fire. I guess I clearly got you like you literally. You're welcome.

[B]

Right.

[C]

And I deserve collateral thank yous from Brock and company.

[B]

And the thing that's so crazy about like daily shows like yours or ESPN is there you. There has to be a form of entertainment every single day. And so if it's like Thursday on week four and you're like. Or ESPN's like, Taylor is. Are the Giants gonna make the playoffs this year? That's like, I don't know, two and two. Like maybe. Hey, can I say maybe on the show? That's like the thing I have the hardest time with like skirting around what do I actually believe and what am I just saying?

[C]

But also, you don't need to. Oh, I think that's what you guys like, you don't need to always have some scathing take. You can be and you can live in the maybe zone. I certainly do. But yeah, but that, I mean you guys crush on espn. I love it.

[A]

I love doing something that kind of champions whatever the storyline might be and then add entertainment factor. There were a few weeks ago. I'll, I'll, I'll give you an answer on that.

[C]

Tell me.

[A]

Walked into a take. So there's a few. There's a few weeks ago and they were asking me. I forget what game it was. It was the Colts and somebody else and Colts, Chargers. It was Colts.

[B]

Chargers. Yeah, because they were going to la and you're like, look who they. Anyway, go ahead.

[A]

And I was like, you can, you can kind of help fill in holes with this too because I kind of can't remember a whole lot. I just remember whatever I said. And I'm like, oh, I think the Chargers, I think the Chargers get out with come up with a win here. And they're like, do you feel like the, the Colts are overrated and this.

[C]

Is like on television?

[B]

No, no, this is the pre pro.

[A]

And I was like, ah, charges.

[C]

Listen to YouTube. Pre pro.

[A]

Yeah, yada, yada. Would you say I'm like, the, the Colts haven't really played anybody. And I think when they play against a good quarterback like Herbert, because at the time I want to say their wins were against like quarterbacks who weren't like, of substance. So I'm like, I see Chargers winning this game. They're like, would you say that the Colts are overrated? I was like, I mean I wouldn't say that they're overrated. I just feel like they haven't like played, they haven't been challenged yet. So that's why my opinion of the Chargers winning is. That's why I'm taking the Chargers. And the next day, we get in on there and in the rundown.

[B]

But hold on, like, three times on that call.

[A]

Okay, so he circled back at the very end.

[C]

Yeah, they love it. You're a good producer.

[A]

Straight out of my. Straight out of college. Compton takes. It was. He had. He was like, the charge or the Colts are overrated. I was like. I did not. Say again. I did not. I do not think the Colts are overrated, but I can see where if you guys are wanting me to do that, like, I can lean in or play into the Colts being overrated. And is that how it went down, or did I say no again?

[B]

No, you said no. You said no multiple times. But this is when I went and got a haircut. So I'm looking at what Will talk.

[A]

Not overrated.

[B]

They have like, these are what will. This is who Will sticking. Blah, blah, blah. And I see culture. Culture frauds on my. On my phone. I'm like, that's a crazy take by Will. Okay, well, they have the best record in the NFL right now. And so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 5 and 1.

[C]

I didn't see that.

[A]

We're flying out there and tailorings it over to me, he's like, you think Colts are fraud? I was like, no, bro. Keep asking me on the phone, like, who I think's gonna win the game. I think the Chargers are gonna win because they haven't played anybody. And that's just turned into me saying, I guess, that they're frauds.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's. We get it. 6am rolls around, and we're, like, doing the. Hey, this is what we're talking about. The show. Straight up. Compton's Will's got the Colts being frauds to Will. And it was just shrugs his shoulders. I'm like, all right. I guess it's what we're going with. But this is what Will did great is obviously, the Colts go. They beat the Chargers.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

And so they're like, now. They're now a team that's been, you.

[A]

Know, people are coming after, goes to.

[C]

The AFC Championship game. You're freaking welcome.

[B]

Because the Colts lose last. Last week, they. Yeah, they lost against the Steelers. And then Will just tweets out, maybe I was right. So it's like.

[A]

Everybody'S coming after me. And I'm like, all right, maybe I was wrong. And then everybody.

[C]

Do the Colts have this fan base that's coming after you, though, or. No, it's Interesting.

[A]

I had so. So Pat messages me, and he's like.

[C]

Can we see bloody Daniel Jones? Can we see that? Can we see this? This recent. This recent one? Just. Just for the ambiance.

[A]

Pat messaged me and he's like, will.

[C]

Look at me making demand.

[A]

I was like, what's up? And he's like, your Colts take. I was like, I don't feel like you guys have played anybody at Pat McAfee.

[B]

Oh, you double down on Pat.

[A]

I didn't, like, double down.

[B]

I don't think you guys have played anybody yet.

[A]

Yeah, I got the Chargers this weekend.

[B]

I got.

[A]

Then when they lost, I tweet up, maybe I was wrong. Everybody's coming after me. Then they lose to Pittsburgh. I'm like, maybe I was right.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

They basically have to win Daniel Jones. You have to win the super bowl for Will to be wrong.

[C]

Literally, in.

[B]

In Will Compton fashion. Like, he's gone against the Chiefs every damn year, and every year they're in the Super Bowl.

[C]

I've seen that.

[B]

Yeah. The Colts are on their way.

[C]

I don't know if this is the year for the Chiefs. We'll see. Gosh, you might be right.

[A]

It's not good. Chiefs are going to win this year, but last year we beat him. Being the Philadelphia Eagles, we beat the Chiefs. But now I got Philly. Now I got Philly coming after my neck because I've been kind of like, ah, there's something there that I think hasn't been exposed yet. I don't know what it is until it happens.

[C]

My take on the Colts, Colts is not take on the team, but, like, they. I'm sort of like, I. You know, the pulse of the fan. Right. The fan base. They're handling success very well, these Colts fans. I do.

[B]

So it's.

[C]

What do you mean? I feel like sometimes when teams do this, like, when the Bills got hot, it was, why aren't you talking about the Bills? Or like, at the rate. You know, there's a lot of, like, there's a lot of teams that handle fan success. Not as well. They handle it very well. I think that they are doing. The Bengals aren't here right now, but when they. When the Bengals were on their super bowl run, they were just like, why I got in on it is they were just, like, really enjoying the ride. And I. As a fan, there's nothing better. There's nothing better than, like, packers fans. They expect it. They're too great. They've had great news. Too much. So if they do really well, they're Not. They're not like as excited and they're not as like. I'm just enjoying the ride. The Colts are enjoying the ride and I love that. I don't think that they're like we should be talked about more. Why are you talking about Jonathan Taylor? They're just enjoying it, at least for right now. And I do love that about this cold steam is why they're easy. They're easy to root for right now.

[B]

The thing, the reason why I thought, like I said, oh, it's easy for them is because I've never played in a stadium that is more well trained fans and that's because of Peyton Manning. You're not going to walk into Lucas Oil Stadium and when the offense is on the field, it does not matter. You can hear a pin drop.

[C]

They're smart, dude.

[B]

They are so smart and then they get up and super loud like they understand the game. Them probably better than any other fan base.

[C]

You think they're the. Are you saying they're the smartest?

[B]

See, here you go. Trying to get me to make a take.

[C]

But I'm serious. Are they. I would say the packers probably up there, right? Packers have to be.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Packers to me come off as very savvy smart. No. Will, why are you looking?

[A]

I'm thinking about more teams sometimes that's my kind of my default face.

[B]

Yeah. He opens his mouth like you're like.

[C]

Yeah, okay. Got it.

[A]

I'm also thinking Patriots.

[C]

Oh yeah.

[B]

Patriots are probably. But like have you.

[C]

How are they. What are they? 8 and 2? What are they? 7 and 2. 8 and 2. Oh my gosh. I can't believe we're here.

[B]

Best in the NFL right now.

[C]

Best team in the NFL right now. Patriots.

[B]

Clip that shit.

[D]

I don't think.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Can you do that, Greeny? Try to try to do that on Thursday with these gentlemen.

[B]

I can't. I can't do that. I can't do the Patriots. Will's been on the Patriots. If I were to go and have a take like that's served up perfectly for me.

[C]

But smartest fan baseball.

[A]

He picked Tampa Bay over the weekend.

[B]

I did.

[C]

As what? Best team in the NFL.

[A]

No.

[B]

To beat the Patriots.

[C]

Oh, no, no. We're doing two different things. Fan. As far as I. I would say Colt. Smart fan base. Packers smart fan base. Who's smarter than them as players who played in these stadiums?

[B]

Chiefs smart fan base. You don't like that?

[C]

I don't. I.

[B]

Why not?

[A]

What do you.

[B]

What do you stupid quote graphic.

[C]

I think. I think they're too emotional. I think when you don't mention Patrick and you're talking like, oh, that's what I'm talking. I guess that's what I'm talking about. Like football iq. But that also there's an emotional intelligence that comes with that too. Like I think their Chiefs hands can get bent out of shape. I think they can get like overly. They're not like this Colts fans right now aren't getting. But you. I don't know how to explain it.

[B]

It seems like we're talking about two different things that better than the other is like you've been in the media space for much longer to where you know when fan bases are doing well when they usually don't you get more mentions. Hey, why don't you talk about them on your show or get up. Not get up. Good morning football when you were doing it for us. I'm identifying it as like the fan bases while you're there. And like to me there's not a better trained fan base than Indianapolis.

[C]

I love that.

[B]

Chiefs are arguably the loudest for sure. Packers are chief stands know how to.

[C]

Behave, how to use things to their advantage. That's fair. That's fair.

[B]

Packers have like just more of like a prestige about them. Like we. They've done it seems like the longest.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

They've. You know, their. Their head coach is named after the trophy literally. So they.

[C]

Who are we missing there, Commander? My all smartest, my all time favorite line on up in Adams with Will was like, you know, I created the. I. I set the foundation for the commanders and what they are. I literally was peeing in my pants laughing. Yeah. Are they the.

[B]

I don't think we've ever seen a man take more credit for football.

[C]

As well you should.

[B]

You should see what Will Compton amazing. Matt Rule of built in Nebraska, by the way. Yeah, it is beautiful. Emmett Johnson's not Emmett Johnson. Are they doing Holgerson do.

[C]

What is Nebraska doing?

[A]

Well, seven and three. We're out of.

[C]

Oh, we're kind of fantastic.

[A]

Oh, it's absolutely incredible what we've been building.

[C]

Jeremy is that bad?

[A]

Yeah. Well, we've been building over the last what few years with coach Rule since he's came to town out of our playoff hopes. We're kind of 99 out of it.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Well there's always going to be 1%.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

You guys are out of the playoffs.

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

You never know what's. I'm just saying you never know what.

[B]

Is happening in college football. If you have More than two losses. It's like you're not making a play.

[C]

Oh, I don't know anything about that.

[A]

Yeah, but Nebraska's having a good season. They're having a good year. They're having a good year.

[C]

Do you guys like that? I call him Jeremy and not Clump.

[B]

That is a unique.

[A]

What do you think of his mustache stache?

[C]

I didn't notice it because I was too stuck on him saying Clump. And then I was like, huh? Your name is what? And then I thought Augustus Gloop. And then I didn't like that. So then I said, I'm going to.

[B]

Call you Jeremy Augustus. I mean, iconic character.

[A]

Memorable. Memorable.

[C]

The handlebars. Is this what you guys made him do this?

[A]

They. For men's mental health. They bullied me.

[C]

That seems.

[A]

Well, we went in like a little pre production meeting and they were like, what do you guys want to talk about? And Taylor made eye contact with me and I knew what was coming. He's like, well, Clump, you're gonna. You're gonna shave your beard in front of.

[C]

How come guys do that? Like, we have to shave your head? Why is that like this? Is it just kind of like. Like the thing. Why tell me. Teach me about.

[B]

Well, it's Movember. So if we're gonna partner up with Gillette and focus on men's health.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And the whole thing is having a mustache for the month of November. It's only fitting that everybody who can should have a mustache.

[C]

Happy Will is in this. Look how Jeremy looks. Everyone looks really happy. So I'm for it.

[A]

That picture was. I didn't see what it looked like till Taylor took a selfie with me. So that was the first time.

[B]

That's the first time you got to see it.

[A]

It was actually funny.

[I]

It did.

[B]

That was this past Friday. Gillette did a little event and we had to like, speak for a little bit. And they're like, hey, we want you to hit these little points. So we hit the points and then we brought Clump up and shaved him. That's actually. We did that. We shaved him.

[C]

You shaved your head? That's what I'm saying. I feel like boys always do this.

[A]

Like, that's JP.

[B]

JP's big on hair.

[C]

But does it work? Does it track? Do boys.

[A]

The boys will do anything for a good laugh. Yeah, that's pretty much. You got to shave your head. You see, a guy doesn't want to shave his head. A guy doesn't want to shave his beard. You got to do it. You have to do it.

[C]

Don't get no, like.

[A]

It. Just those five seconds of laughter. We got them.

[C]

I don't know that they're all busing with the babes. Equip. Like, I don't think any. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Do you miss that a little bit?

[A]

Dude, There was some freedom. There was some freedom with a bald head and a bald face.

[C]

Will, what was, like, the best. Me, like a metaph. Who, like, the best comp. The best comment you saw on social media of, like, what this was was, oh, man.

[A]

There was Professor X. Like, put him in a wheelchair. There's Professor X. Mr. Clean. Mr. Clean.

[C]

Mr. Clean's a great one.

[A]

Josh Pate. We do a show with him.

[C]

I love a Josh Pate. Yes.

[A]

Josh Pate.

[C]

Yes, yes, yes.

[A]

But there's nothing like laying a clean head, bald head on a pillow at night.

[C]

I will take your word for that.

[A]

You should try it.

[C]

I. I don't think there's a bet you guys could make with me that would have that happen.

[B]

Yeah, I don't think I. I don't.

[C]

Think you were like, I could. Now you can definitely wig it up, though. No, I have extensions in, so I guess there's that. But I can't look now. We're putting a handlebar mustache on your.

[A]

Yeah, anything for a good laugh.

[C]

Anything for a good laugh.

[B]

Yeah. He should be producing the show. Instead, he's using word art.

[C]

You guys should do that with, like. You guys need to get greeny or shefty in on that.

[B]

Well, yeah, we've tried.

[A]

Tried poking a little bit, but do they.

[B]

Not right now. There's. I think there's still. They're very professional. Like, those guys are like.

[C]

I would say you guys are. You try to make me bald right now on one of these, I will make cable go. Go for it.

[B]

Let's see.

[C]

Let's see what it looks like.

[B]

What do you. So you talk about guys. What do girls do for, like, if you guys are.

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

How do girls bust balls?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, man. I don't know. It could be a girl. Every.

[B]

Every way I'm thinking in my head is like, the most inappropriate thing.

[C]

Don't hit that word. Don't hit any word that you're thinking. What a question. I don't know. I think. I don't think women have to, like, you're sitting there. You're technically do anything.

[B]

Oh, Janice, you're such a catty bitch. I bet you won't do this.

[C]

No, I don't think I Don't think.

[B]

It'S like, okay, I bet you I would.

[C]

I think we're like, let's. Let's make a TikTok. Like, let's. I don't think there is that.

[B]

But you guys don't ran us. You don't.

[C]

You know what?

[B]

You guys are sitting there and as you feel free to grab the mic if you want as well.

[C]

Can we give each other.

[B]

You guys are in the car and you're sitting there and Kay's like, you bitches won't do. I don't know.

[C]

No, there isn't. That doesn't exist.

[B]

I'm trying to joke around. I'm trying to have fun.

[C]

And you can't. No, I don't think that. That.

[A]

Do you ever say janet, you sound like such a pussy right now.

[C]

Why is it Janice and Janet, first.

[B]

Of all, Justine who.

[C]

Why are we doing that? Why is Janice and Janet and Justine.

[B]

We're focusing on minor details.

[C]

Women call each other out, but I don't think a woman's like, I bet you you like, why don't you cut your hair into a bob? No, that isn't. It's just. You look good with a bob. No, there's no one's date, no one's like daring anyone to do that.

[B]

But what if she doesn't look good with a bob?

[C]

You tell her.

[B]

Do you?

[C]

Yes. We were just talking on the way here and I was saying.

[B]

I'd love to hear this.

[C]

I was just saying that, like, would you like to tell people if something doesn't look good on them? And I would be so upset if somebody didn't tell me that something looked bad. And I would, you know, because some people you can tell that to. And some people, people you can't. I rely on. Here we go.

[B]

K goes, goes to the salon. All right. She sits there. She's in for three hours. She texts you both, hey, I'm. I'm trying something new. She gets a little bob. Right? We got the.

[C]

I would never do it without asking. I would never do it without us approving it.

[B]

Okay. Yeah. Let's just hypothetically, K makes a decision on her own. The decision is not good. However, it's a long term. Ouchie. How are you. How are you gonna tell K? Because she's done the bob. There's really no going back. Like, you can't really fix a bob.

[C]

Kay can fix anything.

[B]

Okay, this is. This is getting out of hand.

[C]

Karina. Karina. I'm with Karina everyday. Karina would find a way to Say, oh, I really liked your long hair. Don't I? Don't you miss your long hair? That's how she would message it to me. And I'd be like, message received.

[B]

Yeah, but if you receive that message.

[C]

Too late, what are you gonna do then? You can't. Why would you tell me that? Because then it's just gonna hurt my feelings. Feelings.

[B]

Yeah, but. Okay, what about this game?

[C]

You just reaffirm. You have to reframe and say. I mean, how would you say it to, like, your better halves to my wife? Yeah. Would you be like, taylin, I don't like your hair? You'd say, no, I missed your long hair a little bit. You'd say that's how you'd frame it for the feminine.

[A]

I'm trying to think that's true.

[C]

Great.

[A]

You're right.

[B]

Because even.

[A]

Even when I went bald, there's a level.

[B]

There's a wife. I don't know if you guys. I do love your long.

[C]

She said that?

[A]

Yeah. I love your long hair.

[C]

I love you. So cute.

[A]

I love you with hair.

[C]

Yeah. I love you. I miss you with hair. Do this. But, like, okay. Like, I. Yeah. I can't wait for you to grow your hair to grow back. Like, it's like a. More like, affirming.

[A]

Yeah. Or she back. Do you like this outfit? I'll just be like, oh, I like the other one more.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So I would, like.

[C]

Right.

[A]

And then she'll come out with the outfit back. Okay. I guess my opinion doesn't mean to you.

[B]

No. I'm trying to think. Because you guys aren't wrong. I'm thinking, like, if Taylin got a haircut or something. Something that was, like, really long, she wouldn't tell you. No. I think any decision she makes like that, she definitely comes. Hey, what do you think about this?

[C]

Same with your hair. Like, we. We knew you were gonna cue ball, right? She knew. She knew it was coming. I remember talking about this.

[B]

She did it, by the way. You look solid.

[C]

Bald, stunning. You should take me at the Oscars. I should have done that. It would have gotten more play.

[A]

A statement.

[B]

That is a statement.

[C]

What do you mean, crazy? Crazy beautiful. Absolutely crazy gorgeous.

[B]

No one here is looking like that with a bald head. We can say that. No, Will, this is.

[C]

We can take it down now. Go ahead, Will.

[B]

I'll let Will tell you how he told his wife.

[C]

He. I feel like we talked maybe shave his hand.

[A]

We did. We covered.

[C]

What?

[A]

On her show.

[C]

I think you. How did you. How did you tell her?

[A]

She. Oh, I told her she found out on the Internet.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

So she's like, hey, you're gonna. You're not gonna shave your head, are you? I was like, sweetheart, I gotta shave my head. She's like, why? I was like, I lost a bet.

[C]

Do you two have the best wives in the business?

[A]

They got to go with the flow a lot.

[C]

Just feel like they might. And I'm looking you guys in the eyes.

[A]

They might be.

[C]

They might be the ghost. They're all time of wives.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, my wife was with me before my veneers as well. So I don't know if you've ever seen my old teeth, but yeah, she's. She has my respect.

[C]

I have not. But I'm saying like, you guys. Oh, gosh. You guys, you know, run around. Oh, Will, those are your teeth.

[B]

Yeah. Those are God given.

[C]

I like them.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

They give you character.

[A]

That is what these veneers don't get. Your teeth, your old. Your teeth right now give you character.

[C]

Do you think that they would have let you on get up with those chompers or no? Did getting veneers change your success 100%?

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

Absolutely.

[C]

Wow. You still would have done this. You would have started busing.

[B]

You know what's crazy about this is I've said this so many times. When he had those teeth, I knew Will. I was ground floor with Wilco.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

He was talking to me about getting veneers. I was like, bro, your teeth are fine. And I look back and I'm like, wow, what was I. I must have rose colored glasses on.

[A]

Now. I'm thinking my old teeth would be better now.

[C]

Do you miss them? It almost makes you like the stray hair. Just think of like if stray hunk closes that.

[B]

Yeah, but is that a way to live life?

[A]

I love a good joke.

[B]

You? Yeah. Will balls with those teeth that have.

[A]

Been every reply on Twitter with a bad take.

[B]

All Colts fans are just, oh yeah, the Colts fans would have.

[C]

I fixed my teeth. Not the bottom, I fixed. I have two that are fixed that are fake. So I fixed. See?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Did you. Do you like chip them or something like that?

[C]

No, I just didn't have. My parents couldn't afford braces. And so I had gone through like college knowing I wanted. But like knowing when I grew up I wanted to be on tv. And I'm like, the second I get. Get a check, it's the first thing I'm doing. So when I moved to New York from St. Louis. There we go. Sorry. Anheuser Busch got You. When I moved to St. Louis, it was my first thing I ever really spent money on.

[B]

It was.

[C]

It was. I want to. Don't try to find teeth from back then. I will literally walk off the bus. But I didn't. They weren't, like, that bad. But they weren't TV teeth. Like, they would have probably. Taylor. It would have held me back a little bit because they were like, a little, like, I had too many teeth in my mouth. They weren't spaced. Whatever.

[A]

Have enough teeth.

[C]

Oh, see, there we go. Between you and me, we're great. And so I did. It was one of the first things. And I became, like, very close with my dentist. It was like, a lot of painful. I mean, getting them is a pain in the ass. The veneers, like, having, like. Do you guys have, like, the fake ones? No.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I did it while I was on tv. So I would have these, like, fake ones while these were getting. And I didn't have, like, money. Yeah. But I didn't have money either. So I was, like, doing, like, a pay as you go. So I was really. I remember, like, being in Denver, covering something for the Broncos and, like, them falling out, out, and me being, like, the do I do now and having to go to, like, an emergency dentist.

[B]

Crazy.

[C]

It's. And there's like. They're like. And it's kind of, like, traumatic because you have, like, these. Do you, like, look at them when they, like, shave them down?

[B]

Oh, yeah, there's a photo.

[C]

No, I don't want to see it. That's, like, a little too much.

[B]

He showed me once.

[C]

Oh, no, I never. I never took a picture. But I looked at him and was like, that's aggressive, and that's a lot. But I think they just gave me confidence. And it's just like, an aesthetic thing. And. And. And that's it. So more power. Look at us with some fake. Fake teeth.

[A]

The veneers pod out here.

[C]

The veneers pod.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, the veneers. When I had the. The temporaries, it was like 30 days, and they're like, hey, be careful about, like, biting things. You're doing thing. And I didn't know I grinded my teeth at all until I got.

[C]

Yeah. And then you. Yeah.

[B]

And then, dude, like, all these four or five, like, come off.

[C]

So you have, like. All these are fake. Yeah.

[B]

Top and bottom. I want. I want both rows.

[C]

You really did it. But must be nice to be rich Taylor.

[B]

That is the temps. Like, half of them were, like. It was like, four slots, like, half One, two. Yeah, there's like four teeth, and those would just pop off in like the middle. I'd like choke on my fake veneers for a second.

[C]

I was literally, I promise you, at a tailgate for a Broncos game doing some gig. Not even. And I like, clicked. I like ate something and clicked out. And like, then you're just, what do you do? And I had to go to like an emergency situation, but now, now we're good. Tweaks are great, you guys. I don't know the. It's interesting, like my. But I could not wait. It was the first thing on any list of, like, I need to fix my teeth because, like, I believe in myself and I'm gonna be on tv.

[A]

When was that? When, when did that dream start for you wanting to be on tv?

[C]

Probably when I was little, I was like, I can't believe this is a job. It's so easy to like, be in front of a camera. I can't. Like, how can I, how can I convince people that this is like a gig? I wanted to do like E. News. I wanted to be like on a red carpet. And I've, I've, I have been there and I've, I've done that. But sports kind of just like yanked me. Yeah, I bartended. That was it, you guys. I bartended and waitressed these like, slow ass happy hours at Willy's Pub and Pool in Columbia, Missouri. Willie's. Yeah, loved it. Field Willy's Field House. And I would have like, regulars and they'd be watching sports and I could just. I was just interested. I was interested in like pushing regulars buttons and getting them drunk in the middle of the day and we would just like watch sports and one of my. Yeah, there we go. There's Field House. One of my. On Broadway there in Como. One of my regulars was, Was like, there was a couple things where, like, I have to be so honest, like, the, the energy of sports just push. Pulled me. Like I had different, different people. And then, and then Sirius XM was launching a fantasy sports radio channel and they were like, you should try out to be the update person. And I was like, no, I think I want to do entertain. But I was, I. At that point, I had to explain, like, like, at that point in life, like in 2012, ish, 2011, you're like, I will do anything to be on the air. Like, I will do anything for airtime. You are begging people to put. Because at that point we didn't. You didn't have like YouTube where you're getting an audience yourself, like you were, to, like, get somebody to let you on the air. And I would do anything. So for like, midnight to 6am I would. I would. I would do updates on radio, and I would do updates on sports radio, and I would do anything. And then I kind of got into it and it kind of took off from there. So a lot of luck. But, like, really? Yeah, that's me covering boxing. Like, you think I knew what I was doing covering boxing at. In London? No, but was I on a flight with Sugar Ray Leonard on a private jet traveling from O2 back to New York? I was, and it was crazy. I just would say. I would say yes to anything, anything to get on the air and get those reps.

[A]

When you look back, what were a couple of the biggest breaks where you're like, I'm glad I said yes to that, or, I'm glad I reached out.

[B]

About this conversation or said no to something.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

I didn't say no to much, really. No, I really did. I. It was like the air was like currency. It was. I didn't care what it cost. I didn't care what, whatever. Like, losing money on air. Like, I would do things for like, Bleacher Report that, you know, like. Like anything that I could do in that. But that's how you meet, like, Adam Lefkoe or Chris Sims or you have the opportunity to do, like, to do. I don't. There's. There's nothing I regret as far as airtime, which I. I'm. I guess I'm blessed to say, so. I'm grateful for that. My big break. I mean, good morning football, but good morning football doesn't happen without a guy, an executive at NBC Sports, hearing me on Sirius XM Sports Radio, because he's a fantasy football freak in the heyday, the. The peak of fantasy football. And he would, like, drive home. Back at home for work on the East Coast. I knew I wanted to be in New York, but I didn't know how I'd get there. And he would listen and be like, this girl's good. She's great. Like, why don't you come up here and do this sports show with Mike Florio? Because, like, when NBC Sports Network was. Was. Was a thing, and I got to do that, and an executive liked. Liked me on the air and pulled me and said, we'll give you. We'll give you this money to come move to New York and do radio updates. And that's. And I was like, I'm doing that. Did that Lived on couches, fixed my teeth, and then went and banged on every door at NBC that I could could to, like, try to get on tv. And eventually did, which is great.

[A]

That is wild.

[B]

How did. How did.

[C]

And then somebody at. Somebody at. When I was at NBC Sports, there was a man named Michael Davies. The guy who. Did you guys know him at all? He did.

[B]

Sounds familiar.

[C]

Yeah, he, like. He created who Wants to Be a millionaire in the US like, hired Regis to do that. Did FS1. Remember that? When Regis was on that. Katie Nolan, all of that. And he would be at NBC doing Premier League soccer. Men in blazers. They were like the OGs of like, we're gonna do our own thing. Content creation. And he was like a show here.

[B]

In Nashville in, like, 2016.

[C]

Oh, really?

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Yeah. And so. And they would, like, sell out. They were doing this stuff before anybody. Look at that lighting. I wasn't a diva enough to complain about it then. Look at that. But that was up in New England. I did a show for. For Boston. I was just saying. I was, like, on a chart. Yeah. I just tried to, like, say yes to as much. As much stuff as I could, but he liked me. And he was this British guy who was like, I think that we could do a better show or a great show for. For football. What should we do? And then it became this thing of. And that's what. That's how Good Morning Football happened.

[B]

Were you, like, the first domino piece? What domino piece? Were you as far as, like, the four original hosts of Good Morning Football?

[C]

I think I was the first.

[B]

You were the first. So this British guy comes up to you. He's like, hey, I think we can do an amazing.

[C]

Yeah, I had known him for a while, and it's like, what does this. What does this look like? What does this? Is it one? Is it two people? Is it three people? Is it four? Is it a morning show? Is it not? And I was like, michael, you don't know anything about football. How are you going to convince NFL proper in media to let you, like, create their morning show? And he somehow did. And. And. And, yeah, we were like, yeah, that is. Look at how cool it is.

[B]

Where. Where was Kyle and Peter at at this time?

[C]

Kyle, I think, was at Jim Rome, okay. Being his producer. Jim Rome's producer. Peter, I think, was doing Fox Sideline and writing and doing stuff for Fox. And Nate was at NFL Network. I think. I think that is our second. I think that is a photo of maybe our first week on the show.

[A]

Man, that is probably Crazy to look at.

[C]

It's awesome. Gosh.

[A]

What is a gig?

[C]

How tall Schrager is. Is it triggers the tallest man alive. He's like, true.

[A]

Taylor's pretty tall.

[C]

Yeah, that's fair. But I mean, like, I feel like people don't expect Trager to be that tall, but he's. Yeah, he's. He's tall. What were you saying?

[A]

I was going to say, what is. What was your. What was the gig you hated the most?

[C]

Probably like radio updates when I. Right when I moved to New York. That was. That was just reading that. How do you guys not get distracted? Do I have adhd?

[B]

Yes, you do.

[C]

Undiagnosed. Unlike under medicated shows.

[B]

And sure, we'll just be googling the most random stuff.

[C]

No. And I'm just like, really put. I could. I literally could never. I would be so distracted by that. If I hear like a crinkle of something in studio, I'm like, I can hear that. I can hear that.

[A]

Sharon brought something up, and it says, Peter Schrager is literally a 6, 5 broad shoulder check.

[C]

I don't know what. I don't know what that means. But. But he is a tall. He's a tall drink of water, that Peter. Sorry, what was the question? Oh, the gig. I hate. So when I moved to New York, my job was. And I just said yes to anything. I was like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Like, get me out of. Sorry. Look out of St. Louis. I was just done.

[A]

Damn.

[C]

I know. I mean, I loved it, but I was. I wanted to move on.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

The Cardinals, too.

[C]

Yeah. I like, somehow, miraculously, when they won the. Their World Series in 2011, the David Fries of it all, I loved it. But it wasn't. It wasn't like, look at that. It wasn't like, what kind of a spray tan. Have you guys ever had a spray tan?

[A]

I have not.

[C]

You've never had a spray tan?

[A]

I laid in a tanning bed and got a little sticker on my hip.

[B]

But you got the sticker on the.

[C]

Head, the Playboy bunny, the palm tree.

[A]

What did you pick? Ready for the parade?

[C]

You've. None of you boys have ever had a spray tan. I. I'm. I'm. Liar.

[B]

Whenever my wife does a spray T.

[C]

At the house, there's always something smells so bad.

[B]

And they do like the. It's all. That's. I'm. I'm very tan there. I went into a tanning bed in Bradenton, Florida, and it was me, Zach Martin, a handful of Trent Murphy. Like all of us Are like, hey, it's dead. A winner. The tone tatter. You got to pick.

[C]

I would be in the tanning bed every day at Mizzou. Gary Pinkle used to use my. The place that I used to go. Yeah. To get my talent. God, that was like. Like, I could not have made dumber decisions. But anyway, so I. I moved to. When I moved to New York, it was like, go to this booth. This, like, imagine, like a little voiceover booth from 5 to 10pm in Times Square, of all places, which is like a hellscape. Anyway. And I'd go and I'd be by myself and do these radio updates, like, every 30 minutes. Like, here's the scores. Here's what's going on. And I would just. Fuck. I don't know what I was doing. So it would be. And I don't really have. There wasn't like, someone there to produce for me. So I would just write up these. And they had to be. It's kind of hard to say. Like, you have 30 seconds to spit all this stuff out. And it wasn't. It wasn't. It was. NBC Sports Radio was my gig. And I would just. I would say, like, Patrick Boy instead of Patrick Waugh. I would say, like, no. Like, I would really f up. Like, I would. And then. And Jordan, my. Yeah. Or like, why, what's that one?

[B]

Jordan Mayava is a quarterback. Quarterback for usc. And I was like, Jordan Jaden Mayava, right?

[C]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

And I was like, on our. On our gambling college show, like, God, Jordan, my Lava. He's only got four interceptions this year. But everyone's like, what are you talking about?

[C]

So that wasn't my favorite gig because it was, like, reporting. It was legit, like, and the score. And that's not me. So, yeah, like, really broadcasty. Which wasn't never really my vibe. But then, like, Sirius XM I loved because I got. That was my first. My first thing I got to do. I had a show called Live in the Fantasy, and it was Sunday, and I got to give credit to Sirius XM Fantasy Sports Radio for letting me do that. Like, who the. Let's. I don't. And I just. I did. And I give a lot of credit, like Matt Deutsch and Steve Cohen and the guys are running SiriusXM sports thing because they were like, you're good enough to carry your own thing. Do this on Sunday nights. And I'd be at SiriusXM with, like, you know, whatever. That's like a wild. A wild world. But look how look, pull up that picture bigger. I look like I'm 12 years old.

[B]

Just fired up to be there.

[C]

Fired up to be there. And I would just. And we did, you know, like, yo.

[A]

You'Re good enough to carry the show. You got, you got it.

[C]

Yeah, they let me do it. And I. Look, I almost didn't. When you talk about, like, betting on myself, like, I almost didn't get it. I was like, I didn't get that I was getting to do this. Really cool. Which I'm really grateful for.

[A]

Yeah, I love that.

[B]

This might be a dumb question, but we fly every week. We fly to New York, work, and we go there, we immediately go to sleep and we walk literally one block to go to get up.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

And every time I walk in there, I'm like, bro, how do people, how do people live here full time when you're like dying to get there? What is. How do you not just get lost in the sauce out there?

[C]

I went there when I was 15 and I like fell in love. And I think I really did manifest it. Like, I was like, I'm going to end up here. I mean, I remember I like cre. I like created a breakup with my, my boyfriend at the time in St. Louis because I knew in the back of this extension filled head, I knew that he was going to want to like stay there St. Louis and, and all of that. And I was like, oh, no, I want, I want to be the little fish. Like he. I. And I knew it. And I was like, I'm just gonna cut. You know, we're gonna figure this out. And I love the. I love you and what you're doing with all of this. I knew, I just wanted to be part of that. I just. The energy of it and the convenience. I didn't like driving. I didn't learn how to. I grew up in Chicago. I didn't have a license. Like, I didn't want. You know, going to Missouri was a huge change up for me, Columbia especially. I wanted, I wanted the big city. Now it's interesting because I'm in LA and I'm like, oh, I hate la. But now I'm used to it. Now I'm like, oh, fuck yeah, nice weather.

[B]

You mess with LA over New York space.

[C]

I think I really am in the point where I like visiting New York. I think I need to work on like, what. Where I want to have roots though, you guys. I don't have. I mean, I'm not married, I don't have, like, kids. I'm trying to figure out, like, there's a benefit to, like, being able to do whatever you want, but also, like, you do want roots somewhere. You want to figure out where that is. I don't think that that's New York right now for me. I don't know. It's a good question.

[A]

Yeah. The big city life, just not for your boy.

[C]

You guys don't like it?

[A]

No.

[B]

So that. I don't like it. I just. It's something I've never. I went. I grew up in Cape Creek, Arizona, and then I went to Michigan, and then this is the biggest city I've ever lived in. Nashville, which is, like. It feels like a small town.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's getting a little huge.

[A]

When I first came.

[C]

Oh, really?

[A]

Yeah. When I first got there, I was like, oh, everybody's like, this ain't a city. A lot of people around here.

[C]

So when you were with the Commanders, you weren't, like, going up to New York anytime you could? No, I would.

[A]

No.

[C]

If I was, like, in a cello trip, I'd get to Philly, I'd cry. I would want to be. Be in a big city. I liked that.

[A]

Yeah. Anytime. I had to go visit my wife back when she was my girlfriend, she lived off, like, 14th. 14th and U U Street in D.C. i just hated it. Driving the truck up there, going to park it. I like.

[B]

Yeah. Parking a truck in a city. Yeah.

Pull up the third photo right there, Sean. This is where I'm from right here. Cave Creek. 5,200 people.

[C]

Tell me. Tell me the best meal there.

[B]

Best. There's a place. Okay. Okay. Kind of. So there's a place called the Satisfied Frog. All right. There was a couple that was married. It used to be like this old, like, Western that looks like.

[C]

If you were to create, like, an AI image of a small. Oh, yeah, cute town.

[B]

So this couple started the Satisfied Frog. They get divorced. The wife takes the divorce money and opens up a restaurant across the street called the Horny Toad. Yeah, that place has got the best.

[C]

Horny Toad, I feel like. Is something in the Ozark?

[A]

Know like, I know of Ozarks like two, two and a half hours.

[C]

I grew up in Chicago, but when I went to. When I went to Mizzou, I would say it was like three hour drive. And it was that, that.

[A]

That was like in the summertime, that's where you go.

[C]

I could not believe that we'd go in the winter sometimes too. The Lake of the Ozarks is. I know, like Ozark has given it a different vibe.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But like there was nothing like pulling your boat into one of those docks and those dock. The fact that, I mean, I think I don't get colds in the flu or anything because I survived Party Cove.

[B]

Oh, it's like that over there.

[C]

Oh, it's like you can make it here. You can make it anywhere.

Like I didn't go to football games. Like I just, I had to work. That. That was like you could make like 2 grand on a football Saturday at Willy's Pub and Pool.

[B]

You never went to a game?

[C]

No. I think I might have gone to one freshman year. But I gotta say, like, even like I. You guys prepared me for Notre Dame. I liked it, but I can't. You have to almost grow up in it to appreciate it.

The stadium is beautiful.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Other than the linebacker, it's like, what we got going on around here.

[C]

You would drive to Chicago. I would drive. Like, I remember being in. Being very. Having no money and being in Columbia, Missouri, and I would drive to Chicago. I would drive to, like, St. Louis all of the time. Like, Mardi Gras. Like, I would just want to get out of where I was a lot.

[B]

You just constantly wanted to just move around.

[C]

Wanted to.

[A]

Did you hit Mardi Gras now?

[C]

We're really good. Yeah, that.

[B]

What's your MySpace profile?

[C]

I love probably. It's probably, like, some county crow song from 20 2008. I don't know, but it's probably like. Like, I used my space as, like, warfare against whichever boy was in my life at the moment. Like, I would literally, like, change my song up or change just to, like, get to them, send a message. I would. I was very much.

[B]

Change your top 10 friends.

[C]

Oh, yeah. I was, like, nuking. But it was always about a boy, though. It was always about, like, watch, I'm going to put this guy in my. Or, like, I'm going to send this cryptic, you know, matchbox 20 song. We're going to see what you think about that. It was kind of messy Meanwhile, the.

[B]

Guys are still, like, messy. The guy doesn't care.

[C]

No idea. Oh, yeah, there we go.

[B]

Dude. MySpace was the best social media of all time.

[C]

Most things I worry about. Oh, Tom Petty. Look at me. How cool was I? I don't know who's logging in that. That last log, and that's definitely not me. The dude from the Big Lebowski.

[A]

Enjoy the holidays. You don't want to see everybody.

[C]

Yeah, somebody for the holidays.

[A]

What are you doing? Oh, I'm staying in with the. Yeah, staying in with the girls, the.

[B]

Fireplace, running, watching a couple of movies, some hot cocoa. All the fixings on top of that thing.

[C]

All of it. It's a good time.

[B]

Oh, a cold autumn in winter months. You know, as a period of when it is especially desirable to enter into romantic relationship. Coughing season.

[C]

That's it.

[B]

Why do you think. Think right now is your time? Is it because. Is it because you've been so, like, career focused your entire life and now you've realized, hey, I've had so much success, now I want somebody to share it with.

[C]

I think I, like, haven't known what I've wanted super much. Like, I think that I'm always in survival mode of, like, what's. What's next? How am I going to survive in advance? That's just been like, that's a life.

[B]

Thing to quote, we love.

[C]

And now I feel. I do. I feel like I'm like. I'm very happy with where I am. Am. I'm settled. I'm a little more Calm. Like, I feel, like, a little more able to be there for someone else. Like, I feel like that's where. Where I am. So. Yeah, it's dating's funny, though, you know?

[B]

All right, I'm. What is your ideal first date?

[C]

I just want every. Some. Who. Anybody that might be watching to know that I like very much. Like, I'm just having a good time right now.

[A]

Certain somebody out there, best interest. She's just having a good time.

[B]

She's just having fun.

[C]

I'm just having fun with my boys. Okay.

[B]

Okay. So what is your ideal first date? A cozy dinner at a local restaurant. An adventurous outing. Like hiking. Oh, gosh, like hiking or biking. A concert or live show. A night in with movies and popcorn.

[C]

The truth is, I have realized that I have very little experience dating will. Like, I, I. I feel like. And I give, like. No, it's not even that. I am a relationship girl. And by the time that you are so persistent that I'm on the first date with you, we're already in love. You're my boyfriend, and we are just consummate. Not, not physically, but consummating like this works Like, I am not somebody that.

[A]

The first date is a DTR that you've. You're defining the relationship.

[B]

First date is boyfriend and girlfriend.

[C]

It's very. I've noticed this. Like, let them. I. I've been in. Been many serious. Not many, but I've been in all my relationships. It's like the first dates just like, Yep, now it begins. I don't. I've been on so, in so few first dates. Like, very recently have I been on, like, first dates where I'm like, oh, this is what you do. And, like, I don't know you. And now we're gonna, like, get to know each other. And, like, ick, I'm not into that. So that said, I don't have much experience, but I would say it's got to be a dinner. I love a cozy dinner. It should be romantic. It should be planned entirely by the man. This is, generally speaking, when that bill comes, who's paying on, like, a first date? A man. A man. But I paid. In relationships, I like to, like, contribute, which probably isn't great. I need to, like, relax on that because I want, like, a manly man.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But I'm very extremely successful.

[C]

I'm very quick to be like, I got it up, whatever. But first date, they have to pay, pay, right? Yeah.

[B]

All right. Okay.

[C]

I don't even know what that would be like to have someone See, that's what I guess. What I'm, I'm, I'm so hard to get out that if I was ever, I can't even put myself in that situation where somebody would be like, want to split this? Like, I would die. That said, men dupe me onto dates all the time.

[B]

Dupe you on the dates. However, you don't do dates.

[C]

Meaning, like, a guy will be like, you know, I've got this. We should, we should meet up for lunch. And like, I get convinced, Convinced under the guise of like a work thing or like an opportunity or whatever. And then I'm like, why are we at the World Series? How did that, like, you know, like that kind of a thing where it's like, am I. Did I get. Doesn't happen to me a bit. I get tricked on cats. Like, I'll get like, tricked where you.

[A]

Don'T know you're on a date and.

[C]

It'S a date where it's like, is there a chance? And then I'm like, And then I'm like, oh, no, did this happen? And then that's kind of weird, but yeah. Cozy dinner. Nothing.

[A]

Which trait is most important to you in a part? Partner? Kindness and compassion. Excitements and spontaneity. Intelligence and wit. Loyalty and reliability.

[C]

The last two.

[B]

Gotta pick one.

[C]

Oh, okay. Well, I can't, I can't do the Taylor Lawan answer of picking, picking multiples.

[B]

Not on this show. Maybe on the show, but not on the show.

[C]

Okay. I will say attraction wise, like on a first date kind of thing would be intelligence and wit, but there's nothing better than banter. And I have that with so few people. But I would say the loyalty, I need to, I need to feel secure. I need somebody who makes me feel secure. So loyalty is more important than anything. And I'm a very loyal person. I, I am that. So loyalty. Okay, let's, let's keep going.

[B]

All right. What hobby?

[C]

I can't believe this is what I was happening right now.

[B]

What hobby would you like your partner to have? Volunteering or community service? Extreme sports or outdoor activities. Reading or playing music. Cooking or gardening?

[C]

Not cooking or gardening. Volunteering. Your community. What hobby? I, I would say reading or playing music.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

I, I, Yeah. The person I've loved most in my life ever, that I thought I'd marry did both of those things, and I loved them. So those.

[A]

Yeah, that gentleman's out there listening right now. What kind of vacation appeals to you most? A relaxing beach holiday. An adventure, packed road trip.

[B]

Very nice.

[A]

A cultural trip. Filled with museum visits, a staycation, exploring your own city.

[C]

I will say, relaxing, beach holiday. That's just the vibe. I could do all of that, but I like. But I do explore. I think, like, also really important to me is, like, food. Like, if you like where I. I don't like somebody who's like, I don't care where we eat. Let's just go to. And I'm like, no, I need to. We need to find the best place that's got the best vibe. If we're in the city, I want to eat, like, the best. Like, today, I want to go to the best place in Nashville. Tonight, like, matters to me to, like, have life is. I like, that's an important experience.

[B]

Immerse yourself in the culture.

[C]

Yes, that's important. Somebody who's like, let's just stay at the Four Seasons and, like, eat at the restaurant here. When you're in the middle of, like, Italy, I'm like, what do you mean? What do you mean? Let's go to some old Italian woman's kitchen and make noi. You know, that's how I get on board.

[B]

I can understand that.

[C]

Thank you.

[B]

I definitely am the guy that's, like, convenient. Like, we're here.

[B]

Because there's so many places or anywhere.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

I do like Cabo. All right. How do you prefer to communicate? Communicate your feelings through thoughtful gifts and actions. With grand romantic gestures. Through deep and meaningful conversations. By spending quality time together. How do you prefer to communicate your feelings?

[C]

Which one falls under direct and honest? Most? So not romantic.

[B]

Thoughtful and deep thoughtful.

[C]

I am. Like, through deep and meaningful conversations. Yeah, let's do that.

[A]

Probably one of the bottom two.

[C]

Yeah, that's perfect.

[A]

What must have quality questions are there. I'm kind of worried we can cap it at.

[C]

Are we going to talk about stable at this point? Okay, let's buzz through these.

[A]

What must have quality should your partner possess? A caring and nurturing nature, A daring and fearless spirit, A great sense of humor, A strong sense of commitment.

[C]

Oh, my gosh. A caring and nurturing nature, Daring and fearless. No, no, no. Oh, gosh. See, I get baited by the sense of humor because that just shows Intelligence and that, but that strong sense of commitment. Boom. Somebody who's self disciplined.

[B]

What kind of movies do you enjoy watching together? Romantic comedies, action and adventure. Documentaries or intellectual thrillers?

[C]

I don't watch any movies.

[B]

Classics or dramas?

[A]

Not a movies gal.

[C]

No notes, not a continuity. I'm weird. Documentaries. I like to documentaries.

[A]

All right, all right, which of these is a deal breaker for you? Insensitivity to others feelings, A lack of ambition or drive, A poor sense of humor or unreliability or unpredictability.

[C]

Attracted to unpredictability? I shouldn't be what I am. I don't know. What do you got?

[A]

A deal breaker. I would say a lack of ambition or drive.

[B]

Yeah, it sounds like all the things you've said.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I feel like that's that. That might be you.

[C]

Sure.

[B]

During a disagreement you value a partner who can listen and show empathy. Keep things light and find a quick solution. Offer logical reasons and discuss facts. Stay calm and committed to resolving the conflict.

[C]

Last one. Stay calm and committed to resolving the conflict.

[A]

How are you in arguments?

[C]

Direct, honest, confrontational. And people don't like that.

[B]

All the things you're asking for in a man. It seems like the hardest tool for a guy to have is what you're asking for right there.

[C]

What?

[B]

Having the tool to be able to sit in the batter's box. A lot of guys, it's like a learned skill.

[C]

You think?

[B]

I believe. I, I, I don't know.

[C]

I feel like guys either have it.

[B]

Or they listen to my wife's friends. Myself, at some points in my life, I have difficulty of like, okay, there's a conflict. I want to kind of back away from this and let it breathe for a little bit. And that scene is running.

[C]

See what you're saying? But I, but, but I'm sure you're like, I need a minute or like, whatever. I just think like the courage to.

[A]

Like, have a tough conversation.

[C]

To have a tough conversation. Like, can we get to the other side of a tough conversation? That would be like, like, that's important.

[B]

Yeah. I feel like guys like, like to be, hey, it's all good. And it's like, well, it's really not all good. We haven't finished the conversation. But like, no, no, it's fine.

[C]

But I think a lot of women are really good at like, all right, that's just what it is. And I'm like, to maybe like insecure for that. I'm like, let's hash it out. Like, I want to talk about it to death.

[A]

What role do you See, for your partner in your life, a supportive best friend. An exciting life companion. An intellectual equal or a stable independent partner.

[C]

A stable and dependable partner.

[A]

This is really dependable.

[C]

Yeah. Okay. Oh my gosh. What? Are we gonna have to put in an email?

[H]

Sure, we'll put in his email.

[A]

You got. Loyalty matters most. You crave loyalty and stability in a relationship. A dependable partner who honors their commitments is your ideal match. They provide a safe space for love to thrive, making trust and mutual respect the cornerstones of your lasting bond.

[C]

Yeah, somebody who's available. Somebody who's. Yeah, that. That works out. So who is that? Who is that?

[A]

I don't know. Big holiday season coming up.

[B]

Coughing season.

[A]

Season.

[B]

Cuffing season. You're probably. You're in the wrong city. Feel like it was wrong.

[C]

Go on. Do you know things that I don't.

[A]

Know that you know, possibly.

[C]

We. What is this?

[B]

There's a lot. There's a lot that's taking place that Will's opened me up to about your life.

[C]

No, Will has truly. Like. I feel like you know more than. Anyway, we'll talk later. D. I think D's watching and he's like, are you guys ever going to get to me in this situation?

[B]

I'm already on record on the show. Before you came on, we did the intro. I think it's a terrible idea.

[C]

They. They fired him like when they did.

[A]

I think he should have my whole thing. If he's not the guy. I. I totally get that. Like his resume again. We were talking about blowing the fourth quarter leads and your defense not playing up like D in the first year was known as like a culture guy. Even when you lose these guys like Jackson, dart cam, scatter. Boo. You know, Malik neighbors just being up by 10 or plus in the fourth quarter. Blowing the leads. Yes. Defensively, culture wins are going to still would still happen. They'd still get you. You want.

[C]

You need the head coach that's gonna somehow impart onto Jackson that he needs to protect himself. Lack of recklessness. So I think like even just after yesterday, like, you don't want to watch Jackson get put out like that. I think that might have to do something to do with the timing of it. I'm guessing. I like that Kafka's getting A a chance here because when we they did have neighbors in Scatter Boo like he's Jackson looked good out there. Those things are great that we've seen. So I'm like I'm. My dream is that in like a heart like a 10 year coach not one of these like you know Joe Brady's interesting. He's the belt of the ball though. But like what if you kept Kafka interim fine keep him as the OC so you don't like completely screw Jackson over as far as some continuity for next year. What if you bring in like a Lou Anaruma?

[A]

Just saying pull them up Sherm. What about with Lou?

[C]

It's like did his. I I know from like my closeness to the bank singles players love him and now look what he's doing. If you know like you get a good thing around him he can lead. He can lead men. I believe that I. I happen to know that and then so if you have so if you keep Kafka let's say Kafka does a great job the rest of the way just as far as being a wizard. You bring in a looter run the thing he's I think he's from New York.

[B]

Oh he looks like he's from New York.

[C]

Yeah I think looks like he can handle this. So maybe you could do. Maybe you could do Joe Brady thing. I don't know if he'll be. If he'll be available we'll have to see but I like this kind of a keep Kafka there so you've got some stability and an offensive hopefully wizard because he did look good with them. And then you bring in just a little bit of new blood A guy who hasn't gotten a shot defensive minded crossover in their.

[A]

In their careers. Who the OC for the Giants currently and your boy.

[C]

No, I don't think so. That's fair. That's kind of. But I'd like to see. Yeah that's fair but who else would you put. It's very interesting like there aren't like the sexiest candidates for these. No.

[A]

But do you go who Kubiak, Seattle. Mike Le from the Rams.

[C]

Sure yeah if you want your offensive.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Which I guess you do want with back.

[B]

I don't know what's Doug Peterson up to?

[A]

I the so Mitch just brought up.

[C]

I don't know much about Mike K.

[A]

Oh to me it's Kelvin Shepard.

[C]

He's a maniac.

[A]

Yeah he's a maniac. I like great defensively but again it's like the trends you see, I feel like in the NFL is you want such good alignment. Alignment with your head coach, your quarterback and offensive minded guy. Especially if you have a young developmental guy.

[C]

He's gonna get great interviews though. I love him. I. This team loves him. They play for him. I guess that's what I'm looking for with the Giants. Like the stuff about offense makes sense with what's going on, but like, why is your defense not.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

For you? Like I want to see. And I think that is like giancy football and I, I wouldn't mind seeing a defensive minded coach. I wouldn't.

[A]

I wouldn't mind Kelvin Shepard going down to LSU.

[C]

Oh, really?

[A]

For LSU's job? That. That's a job opening in college football.

[C]

Thank you for telling me. I have no idea.

[A]

Joe Brady was an OC when Joey B.

[C]

He's gonna get. He's gonna get broke off, huh? That Joe Brady?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I talked to James Cook about him this past week about keeping him there. I think they all kind of know he's gone.

[A]

Who are some of your favorite players to interview?

[C]

Oh, I love a Jordan Love interview. We just had him on every time. He's just very. He's very good at walking the line of not saying anything as a quarterback should, but will always, always be pretty honest. I've had a lot of fun with Jordan Love on the show. I don't know what to make of this packers team, but they're not as consistent on the field as he is in interviews. He's super fun. I'm trying to think who else is super fun. I love when you guys come on. Tez Johnson, star. Oh, this is probably my favorite interview and I didn't do it. Yeah, he's right there. It was at the Panini rookie premiere and I had no idea. And he's my size. We have a guest. What's going on? Oh, he's my. He's. Geez Louise. He's. So how long can go by before you. Like, how, how long can. How much time can go by before you need one of those?

[A]

Well, sometimes it's just for sport.

[B]

I took it out like 20, 30 minutes ago and there was an itch starting.

[C]

How did you take it out where I didn't notice.

[B]

Huh?

[C]

How do you take it out without me noticing?

[B]

Use my tongue, kind of windshield wipe it.

[C]

And then you just like spit it into something.

[B]

There's nothing glamorous about it. Okay. Sometimes you just gotta get where the getting's good.

[C]

This kid's great though. He's A star. He did his thing yesterday. Bucks. I don't know what to, you know, are we out on the Bucks?

[B]

I don't know, but I like the Bucks. They're not healthy. No.

[C]

Yeah. I think they gotta get Bucky.

[A]

They have a favorable division.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. If they can get healthy, they can get their guys back. They get Bucky back.

[C]

Guys. Patriots are so good. Your boy rapes.

[B]

I know. It's actually.

[C]

I don't know. I don't understand how the defense looks so freaking good and they don't have.

[B]

A lot of guys.

[A]

Number one rush defense in the NFL.

[C]

But what is it that he. I don't. I don't know him. I don't know that I know a coach less than him. Tell me, like, what is the how. How is he doing this and why he should be. And by the way, if you're a fan of the sportsbook, Coach of the year, it's like, between him and Steichen.

[B]

I think he's clear number one right now in the favor handle.

[C]

No. Is he really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, but Steyk. And also putting together.

[C]

Hell, yeah.

[B]

But.

[C]

And I was thinking about this on the show this morning. No, like that they're rebuilding. He's doing this with this record and this while they're rebuilding. Whereas, like, Colts were like, we're going. We're here. We're ready to go. Like, we're. We've got the. I think the cult traded for saw.

[A]

Is saying, we're going for this.

[C]

Yeah, they're doing this. They didn't add anybody because they're like, well, hold on. Like, we're rebuilding, but for them to be. For them to be. And it's so. I mean, this. I wouldn't say that I was like, super. I was excited for them, but not super convinced because they've got some weird losses and, like, you know, they got the win over the Bills and it was whatever. But as after this thing against the Bucks, you've got to just give it to Rabel. You've got to give it to Rabel over Stiken.

[A]

Yeah. And they are positioned right now as far as first in the division. I mean, their schedule, you know, a big pushback. When you're talking about. About Patriots being one of the best teams in the NFL, everybody talks about their schedule and everything else, but they are. They're as favorable as anybody to win the AFC East.

[B]

Especially after the Bills just dropped a deuce against the Dolphins. Dude, that was crazy.

[C]

But do we throw that away because Miami is such a weird place to Play like Miami.

[B]

Do you throw the Falcons game away? Like they have the Falcons and they go on a buy you kind of get away.

[A]

You got it with that. You jabbed her. She's like yeah, but do you still. Yeah. What about the Falcons?

[B]

Because I'm with you. Early in the year I picked the Bills to like be like this is the year Josh Allen gets over the hump. He finally gets his first Super Bowl.

[C]

Do you feel like it's not though? Are we going to have a Bill's Cheaps wild card weekend?

[B]

Very. I think, I think that will. We could.

[A]

I just got big.

[C]

Well, we could have that. It could like what and then.

[D]

Huh.

[C]

That might be a thing.

[B]

You're absolutely right. Right. I think the Patriots after this past weekend like their, their schedule is so favorable they're going to win the AFC East.

[C]

The Patriots like I didn't like their.

[B]

Keep the same trend they're doing right now. If Drake Bay doesn't change a thing, they will win the AFC East.

[C]

Okay, but then what happens? Like what do you. What's, what's like fair with them expectation wise.

[A]

Oh, you pull their schedule. I.

[C]

No I'm talking about like playoffs. Like let's. I, I'm. They go to the playoffs.

[B]

What so if you get the Bills and Chiefs wild hard they're one of them's going to knock off the other.

[A]

And dude, this is one where it's like you're sitting there. You, you, you, you could possibly give a take but you just don't know.

[C]

What look like at the back. Well yesterday we saw against a great team. The Drake made like a very I'm a second year quarterback play right decision. Like he made some. I don't think Patrick and Josh are making those but it's to be expected. Like he's not going to be perfect. He's young. We can. He's. They're rebuilding and they're younger. I'm. I'm into their run game which I wasn't into before. Like them giving Henderson the ball like this. There's a home run hitter.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Them doing this now I'm like ooh, I'm. I like this and like Diggs. I want Diggs deep in the playoffs because like he's always just going to show up for that magic play and he did it with that onside yesterday. Like he, he's just so. They've got these Kyle Will. They've. They've got it going on but it's like when you get into that playoff situation, I also have to Bring up like, hand size. Twitter with the wet ball yesterday. Is that a thing? You guys subscribe to that at all? No, the hand. Drake May. What's Drake Me's hand size? This is. I don't. I don't.

[A]

Big hands.

[C]

No, I think he's got smaller hands. I think people are doing that, like, wet ball thing.

[A]

Oh, no.

[C]

Is that a thing? No, like a Brocky thing thing. I saw it on Twitter. Is it not What's. Yeah. Is that small for?

[B]

I feel like that's kind of big.

[C]

Is it?

[B]

I think those are like, under undersized, right?

[H]

Yeah, I think that's pretty small.

[F]

Yeah, that's.

[B]

That's undersized.

[C]

I think that's the thing. It's like, if they get in and it's wet and it's. And has Drake Me played in weather? Those are those, like, boy things that are being.

[B]

He's going to play in weather in December.

[A]

Just does a very good job with messaging to the team. Like, he paints such a clear picture of how you're going to win a football game if they are in December and their run game continues to get better. And you know, Drake May continues to do a good job of not turning.

[C]

The football over, which he's done until really yesterday. But it's also.

[B]

He had one interception yesterday and it was a bad interception in the end zone.

[A]

But because Rabel just finds ways like, they're winning right now. But Vrabel does a great job of. This team's not going to feel like their records with the record going into this.

[C]

Got it. Rebel also said like, I think he said, like, be upset about it for 30 seconds and let's move on to play. Which is like, that's the kind of, I guess coach he is, but just like, phenomenal job. Why are we looking at Russell Wild? That I'll never understand.

[B]

Russell Wilson.

[C]

Just what I just will never. I don't get it.

[B]

Subway.

[C]

What?

[B]

Subway Ruined it all once. He did the day. Oh, you think that was the. The start of the.

[A]

Let's ride.

[C]

This isn't what I. But I. But I do. Yeah. I'm into the Pats. I. I guess I feel stupid because I said all last week, like, you guys should have made a move. Why didn't you make a move?

[A]

The Patriots.

[C]

Yeah, like, make you guys. It's all in front of you. Who cares if you're rebuilding like, Elliot, go bring somebody in the wide receiver, try for waddle, whatever. But they don't. I don't think they need it.

[A]

I think this Is one area. The whole trade stuff is one area in my game to where I don't know what's going on.

[C]

Oh, really?

[A]

Like, to where I think anybody does other. Yeah, but other people are, like, fascinating. Like, here's moves that can be made. Like, I don't even think about that stuff in the season.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, if we go on your show the day before, hey, what could be a spicy trade? I'm just thinking, like, oh, shit. Like, I have no clue potentially on.

[B]

The block who's on the trading block.

[A]

Because you're so used to, like, as players, too. You're just conditioned that our team's a team. However, well, we're doing or not what we're doing. You're never thinking about who could we bring in from the outside that could give a spark to this team. You're just. You're so in your own shit. You're like, how are we? How do. How does this unit. How do I get better? How does this unit get better? How can you communicate and be better with the defense as a whole? Like, when trades happen, you're kind like, oh, we traded for so and so. Or, damn, we. We shipped this dude off. Kind of just takes you by surprise. So that's like, happen.

[B]

You're like, we.

[C]

Yeah, but it affects you, right? Like, the cults, like, bringing in sauce. That has to. If you were in that locker room, you'd be like, right, that. That matters. Right?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just saying, like, in my. If I think about myself. Myself in the. The game of media, something like, I just don't even think about or.

[C]

It's kind of the same as free agency, though, right?

[A]

Like, yeah, I'll sit there and stare at schedules and, you know when we were talking about the bills, how they could be. How they could make a run. Like, I'll stare at stuff like that and just kind of get fascinated by the. The game that's happening.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Or looking down the road in somebody's season.

[C]

But you do it with thinking. You're never like this. Oh, yeah. No, I love that for you. It's like, half. Yeah.

[B]

The draft and the combat are two things that I watch people break down. I'm like, I have no idea how you are able to keep, like, an understanding of all 50 of these guys.

[C]

In these position groups that draft in Nashville together.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And it was you, me, interviewing Daniel Jones.

[B]

Right. That.

[C]

Can you imagine how long that was? 2017?

[D]

Can you.

[C]

Isn't that so wild? I think I probably have a picture.

[A]

On my do you even remember interviewing Daniel?

[C]

Way down in my Instagram, it was like, Devin Bush.

[B]

I remember because he's CA guy. And I. I think after we walked, me, him and Pat Collins walked to, like, Red Door after, like, I could.

[A]

Be sitting there hearing that and be like, oh, yeah.

[B]

It was like, Duke or North Carolina. It's one of those schools I remember.

[C]

But I remember, like, there's. I have a picture, I think of you, me, and Dan, and I'm like, this is so insane. Just, like, what his.

[B]

And this is, like, the first media I ever did. And we got, like, three.

[C]

It was so fun, though. We got three into it.

[B]

And K goes, hey, can I give you a piece of bread? I was like, yeah, go ahead. She's like, just have fun. Like you're trying to. Basically, she's telling me in a, hey, the bob doesn't look good on your head. She's like, hey, just have fun and ask fun questions. Like, you don't have to worry about being, like, a reporter.

[C]

Taylor brought me a cowboy.

[B]

And right after that, I was like.

[C]

Oh, yeah, you brought me a custom cowboy hat.

[B]

Because I was nervous before. I didn't even really know what I was doing, but that. That little piece.

[C]

Did you know them? You were like, I'm gonna be in.

[B]

No.

[C]

Really?

[B]

Shut up. 2017. No, because you didn't come. I knew there'd be, like.

[C]

Not that you'd be doing this, but that you were, like, planning for your future.

[B]

No, I was just doing it because it was fun.

[A]

What?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Is this when the draft was in? That.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, so this was the. This was our first year of busing. Because that's a rich.

[B]

Was that our first year of busing?

[C]

No, this was before you. I swear, before you had done anything. I'll look at my Instagram. You think it was.

[A]

Were we not rolling then?

[B]

Was it 2017 was when the draft was here. Okay, so 20. Yeah. So we were a year in the busing.

[A]

Oh, we were about to start busing with the boys.

[B]

Oh, that's right, April. The buzz you were not doing because.

[C]

NFL media was like, taylor Lewan's going to be the big thing. It was raining. I remember we were backstage, and we somehow got to talk to these players when they got off the stage for some reason.

[B]

It was so fun. Fun. Josh Allen got drafted by the Jags.

[C]

And just like, oh, my gosh.

[B]

Yeah, he was. You just. He was with this kid. And I remember him, like, I remember thinking, like, I have to play against this guy this year. But he was so complimentive about me and, like, the process and everything. It was such a weird feeling to be sitting in that seat because I was still very much playing.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But, yeah, as far as, like, doing good morning football with you that week in that, to me, it was just like, oh, this is fun opportunities.

[C]

The draft is, like, the best time of the year. Year. Like, that job that, like, you'll never have a gig like that. Getting to be backstage when they come off stage and they're all just like, they've won. There's. There. You can watch these millions of thoughts in their head. There's, like, nothing better than feeling the emotion of these guys when they're backstage. It's like them and their agents. You have all of these, like, Jerry Maguire moments.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You got to do the moment of making it. It's unbelievable. And like, the. It's just really. That's. That's probably as far as, like, access and, like, special moments. Cooler than a Super bowl in a lot of ways. When you get to be back there, there watching them have. You almost feel bad being a part of their moment. But. But, yeah, that's so interesting, too.

[B]

Like, there's, whatever, 32 guys in there with all their families, but no one is like. It's not like a room is having a moment. It's like 32 individual moments taking place. It's so unique.

[C]

Yeah, it's very cool.

[B]

Big fan of that.

[C]

I feel like we inter. I interrupted you guys in talking about. What were we talking about?

[B]

We were talking about trades, talking about Dable. I think it's a bad idea. You guys didn't really say whether or not you thought it was a bad idea.

[C]

I think it means he's not their guy. I mean, my. My head goes as Shane Sting was.

[B]

What?

[C]

Is Shane gonna stay? Is Joe gonna stay? I don't know. Are they gonna fire dope?

[A]

That's right. That's where the interruption from myself happened.

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

And she heard a little tidbit that they all kind of know that Joe Brady's gone.

[B]

Yeah. Oh.

[C]

Not that they know that he's sorry. That I think that they know he's going. If he wants to leave, he'll have the world.

[B]

Like, the world is the NFL version of Lane Kiffin.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Joe Brady.

[B]

Lane gonna be everybody's head coach.

[A]

Joe Brady, fan of the show. Future friend of the show.

[B]

Future friend of the show.

[C]

Do you. I mean, Lane in the NFL happened once, right? Raiders.

[B]

Raiders.

[C]

And didn't work out.

[A]

Yeah. A long time ago. That was a long like what, two decades ago.

[C]

He like him and him and J. Jackson.

[B]

Dar Kiffin, as Josh B. Say.

[C]

Why doesn't he. Does he not want the LSU job?

[A]

Is that a thing now? Now that clump just brought that up. Lane Kiffin of the Giants just shocked the entire world. Everybody in college thinks he's coming to their university.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I can't wait for Landis to stay at Ole Miss.

[C]

Everyone's like to be made for like life is good here. Like no Ole Miss. Yeah. In the new Nile world is he like, isn't it going to make people stay where they are more or am I crazy?

[B]

I think just this is wild structure you have. That would be awesome.

[C]

I'm here for this. And I don't think does Dave will get a head coaching gig next year. I don't know.

[B]

I mean I know who's Italian side coach going to be. That's what I want to know.

[C]

I asked you that question because dude.

[B]

I have no idea.

[C]

I don't know either.

[B]

That's why I like leaned out like Arthur Smith because it's like I don't know.

[C]

Oh yeah. I don't know him either.

[B]

That. That the franchise is more disorganized than ever before. It feels like they just have no idea which way is up and I got to figure it out.

[C]

Ask me a trade that I thought would happen that didn't.

[B]

Okay. What's a trade you thought that happened that didn't.

[C]

Bree Hall. I feel so bad for. I feel bad. I don't know. Somebody I don't know.

[A]

With the Chiefs.

[H]

They offered a fourth round, but the.

[B]

Jets won a third.

[C]

But why would you not do that if you're. But I can't question Beach. I would never veach. I would never question you. But I also feel like his.

[A]

Why would the Chiefs do that?

[C]

That.

[A]

Yeah, I'm with you. Could you thank.

[C]

This is the one I don't get. What?

[A]

Thank God the Chiefs didn't get them.

[B]

You can't think the Chiefs aren't going to win that division after watching the Broncos this past weekend.

[A]

Yeah, I can.

[C]

Why?

[B]

Because the Thursday night game was horrible.

[A]

An abysmal Thursday night.

[B]

Worst one of the worst football games I've ever watched.

[A]

But this is where all the noise just gets in on it. And then they. Who do they got this.

[C]

But their defense is so freaking good.

[A]

Broncos.

[B]

Who do they have?

[A]

Chiefs. Then they beat the Chiefs this weekend or next week or the. Yeah, Broncos.

[B]

Chiefs.

[A]

Yeah. Broncos.

[C]

Chiefs.

[A]

Here we are.

[B]

Here we're going to Find out.

[A]

This is where they're going to mop them. This is. Yeah, this is where. It's across the board. Chiefs.

[C]

So we all just think Chiefs are going right back.

[B]

This is where Will Compton is the one solo one on espn. It's his Broncos.

[A]

Yes, sir.

[C]

Well, you know that. I mean, Sean. Sean has his number a little bit. Patrick.

[A]

Yeah. Defensively, have somebody look, that number's done.

[C]

He's done a good job. Just win loss, I think against Patrick.

[A]

Yeah. Fans. Joseph, that D coordinator.

[C]

No, I just think. I think the. Sean has beat.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Has beat him. Has beat Patrick. I don't know how I'm annoyed. They, like, did you guys see what, like, Achan did against the Bills?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So, like, if you're. If I'm like, a Chiefs fan, I'm like. And that. I don't know. I didn't. I didn't hear that rumor. I. I'm like, we couldn't. What would Breece have done? So, like, let's talk about wild card weekend. Let's talk about the AFC championship game. So, like, I think that there's this idea that they don't run. I've just not been impressed with their run game. I just haven't. The Chiefs, I want to, like, feel good about it.

[B]

They don't really like where you're impressed by them in the run game, though.

[C]

I mean, under Andy. I guess, like, I look back. Yeah. I guess not like Clyde Edwards away. I don't know. I just feel like in those games, though, that are going to matter. I don't know. I'd like them to have. Have a little. I'd like. Yeah. I think Bree hall could. Would matter. I think he. I think when you have to go up against Derrick Henry and that run game and James Cook and what they're doing, but also, like, defensively, those are teams that can get got on the ground. I would. I would have liked to see them get Reese also, like, don't leave Reese there. You move Sauce and Quinn in.

[A]

And poor Breeze is like all of his boys.

[B]

You know, once in a row, though.

[C]

He didn't get adopted. Like, you know who does? Yeah. By the NFL.

[A]

You know who does a third rounder. You know, who goes up and is like, all right, you want a third? I'll give you a third. Howie Roseman.

[C]

I love him.

[B]

You think he does?

[A]

I think if he's. If he was operating Chiefs like they're making. Okay, you want a third? All right.

[B]

How he might be the Goat man, the way he just moves around in The GM World, dude. I don't think there's another GM doing it like that, dude.

[C]

See the Eagles go back.

[A]

Jeremy.

[C]

Jeremy.

[A]

The Eagles go back. Yeah, I believe so. I think the Eagles are the best team in the NFL and they'll show it tonight, which. Well, when we listen on Tuesday the Eagles will be double digit point winners against the packers on Monday Night Football.

[B]

Was the camera, I mean I could definitely see that.

[A]

Oh, we don't have a. I wish we would have had a camera for clump there so that we would add something. But yes, I think the Eagles, they're, they're set up. They go out and get Jaylen Phillips for a third rounder because how he's the awesome move and you know they play the comp game so if they lose Jalen Phillips on a contract year, they'll get a third round pick back anyway. So Howie's just basically playing with house money always.

[C]

He's the greatest. He might be the goat. When all said and done, he might.

[B]

Be friend of the show.

[A]

Friend of the show.

[C]

Friend of my show too. Up and out.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

What else do we have? I do think we have something else.

[C]

What else?

[A]

There's some NFL questions for you. Which NFL fan base treats you like family?

[C]

Oh, the packers probably more than anybody. I'm like very in tune with them. I don't really know why I'm from Chicago, it's a whole mess. But they, they, they credit me with bringing them Xavier McKin, their local strip club, the Oval Office always have a welcome invitation there. They send me their merch, which I love. Oval Office salute to you. Never been there, so calm down. Yeah.

[A]

Which fan base has the most beef with you?

[C]

I think cuz I said the Packer is probably the Bear. Bears. They, the Bears.

[A]

That's when you can kind of handle though.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

It's a hard. I don't know that I'll ever. How do you, how do you fix that? You know, I don't know how to remedy that. I've been critical of them and then I can't credit them because then it stay over there. Be a Bengals fan, be whatever. Yeah, Chicago's like a very unhinged, understandably so fan base given like they know greatness, they want to get back there. Great sports talent down. I believe in this team though. I do.

[A]

I think I was gonna say they're making it hard on you now. What are they? 6 and 3.

[C]

Yeah. Unlikely wins too. Like wild wins that they used to lose. So I'm, I'm rooting for Them. But yeah, Bears fans are. I think half the AFC west is mad at me. Kind of like you're saying you walk into takes Chargers. I, I supported the Chargers all throughout my good morning football world. Like, loved them, but I said that in clutch moments I'd rather have bought which actually think. Then I said on the off season and like, Herbert fans freaked out.

[A]

Yeah, Herbert fans.

[C]

That's so I love the Chargers, but I'd say like the, the When Raiders fans think I'm a witch because I, like, got Devon, they thought that. They think that I had something to do with devonte Adams leaving because he'd come on up in Adams and, and talk about it. But. So they want to burn me at the stake. They think I have the power, which I appreciate. But. But no, but that's a hard one. Those are hard ones to win, hard ones to win back. But I really do love every team and I really try to see the best in every team. I don't, I can't think of a team that I don't love. Like, I love all of them, but yeah, they don't. I'd say those three. I'm on, I'm, I'm getting.

[A]

Do you love the Browns?

[C]

Gosh, what a good question. No, I don't love the Browns. And I, I, I don't love the rounds. And I can't believe Miles is there at the end.

[A]

How about the Jets? Do you love the Jets?

[C]

I do longsuffering, been there, done that. Love them. I like the Jets. Yeah.

[B]

What about the Titans?

[C]

I want them to, like, be great.

[A]

Do you know?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I don't know what that, like, it's sort of wild when I think I had Derek Henry on the show the other day, and I was like, do I ask him a Titans question? And I'm like, I don't even freaking remember. Remember that? Like, I'm trying to him and that. Or like D Hop. Or like, that's like. Or aj. Like, it's just sort of.

[B]

I know, but I do, like, so many things up.

[C]

I like Amy, I like, I love the city, L.A. midwest, Nashville. That's what it feels like. Y' all have everything. La. Are you guys getting an Erewhon? Sounds like. Are you ready?

[B]

They had a smoothie there.

[C]

Are you really? Oh, boom. This is like. It feels very LA these days.

[B]

Wife. What's her name? Haley.

[C]

Bieber.

[B]

Bieber, buddy. She's got a. She's got a smoothie at Erewhan named after her. That is. Have y' all had it no, none.

[C]

Of us have ever heard of that.

[B]

It's like 27 but that thing is a game changer.

[C]

Is it yummy?

[B]

Oh my God. Yeah. When I got my knee done again with Elliotrosh one a day, maybe two, I was sitting there.

[C]

Do you have a full knee replacement?

[B]

No, no, no.

[C]

This I have to. I can tell you this one's still.

[B]

God given but it will. I will need a knee replacement event eventually.

[C]

Okay. What did they do to it?

[B]

ACL and then had to refix the ACL from the original surgery.

[C]

I'm sorry, that sounds awful.

[B]

I'm doing this now.

[C]

I might need that guy's number. I gotta get my mom her knee.

[B]

Oh dude.

[C]

Really?

[B]

Oh he's.

[C]

And he's in LA and he would do like a. He does. Did your surgery.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, he's the best too. Very stoic.

[C]

I will buy you a Haley Bieber smoothie Ellis Alcatraz.

[B]

Give me you 30 make with San Francisco.

[C]

Sure. I know that dude. I'm not. Yes. I'm not dumb.

[B]

I don't think you are.

[C]

Thanks. Appreciate that. Okay, what else?

[A]

Midseason mvp.

[B]

Say the right answer.

[C]

Like who? I think Jonathan. You have to say Jonathan.

[B]

That is the answer.

[C]

He's not going to get it. They're going to put. But like if it's between Drake May and Jonathan, you should give it to Jonathan. Nothing like he has two top 20 single game performances. He's unbelievable. Three more touchdowns yesterday and then like we're talking about like Daniel Jones. You tell why is Daniel Jones getting hit so much but he's running free. What's happening?

[B]

So weird.

[C]

Tell me. I don't get it.

[B]

Up until like three weeks ago the office. I only give up like six sacks. There were second.

[C]

So tell me what. What do I need to know about that?

[B]

I gotta rewatch the film.

[C]

I'm a Daniel Jones girl.

[B]

I need to watch that game because it was on 8am and I kids from 8 to 12.

[A]

And then in football, the early Sunday games, international foreign soil. I'll have to go in the sand.

[C]

He was having the time of his life.

[B]

The Steelers game it was the tackles. The tackles were getting worked by Highsmith.

[C]

And tj I don't know but he's. He. It's him. He's the most valuable player. But also like Drake. It's him or Drake. But I'm going to give it to him this week. Am I wrong? What were you.

[B]

What's the obvious answer?

[A]

No, I think those.

[C]

He's not gonna get it right.

[B]

He Should. I mean, he's on pace to do more than LT did when he wanted to.

[C]

The touchdown record. That's a. That is the. One of the sexiest records in the NFL.

[B]

The 20. Was it Mitch? 32, 28.

[A]

The hard part is it's been just such a quarterback award. I'm just. I know if we're playing down the road, say Jonathan Taylor continues this terror. But if Drake may ends the. The year as like the one seed with the New England, if they.

[C]

If they sweep the Bills, it's over. He's getting it. Drake's getting it.

[B]

28.

[C]

It's 28. I thought it was 30. No, it's 31. Heals the record. I'm talking about that one. Most total touchdowns in a single season. It 31 is crazy.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And he might get that, I think.

[A]

Yeah, he might.

[C]

If he. He would have to do that, right? He'd have to do that.

[B]

Yeah. Because that's a perfect person to lean back on, be like he wanted. So he should win it as well. Especially if the only other person is Drake may. Because like Josh is not first. Josh has had a couple.

[C]

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Sorry. We should not not. I mean, he's having the best stretch of. Can I tell you the coolest thing about Stafford? How many touchdowns does he have?

[A]

Thirteen in the last.

[C]

He's crushing it. Okay, but guess how many picks he has. Two. Yes, you guys, he only has two picks that is. Is MVP worthy because when you think of Stafford, he's going to throw it. He's going to sing. He has it. He has his whole career. But in his super bowl year, how many touch. How many interceptions did he have?

[H]

25.

[C]

He led the league in interceptions his super bowl winning year. For him to be doing this right now with like, how do you. How do you at that season of your life cut down on interceptions in that crazy way? Like I do. I don't know what he's. How he's doing doing that.

[B]

He didn't play all camp either. Like he had that back issue. So he didn't do anything.

[C]

And he did it with poop showed up. He's doing it. Like. I just think that, gosh, it's hard to think that they're not gonna win the Super Bowl.

[A]

Yeah. The chemistry he has right now with devonte Adams too around the goal line is nuts.

[C]

I'm so happy for both of them. I like when the OGs, you know. Yeah. I don't know what's going on. Is Roger, are we Done with the Steelers, dude.

[A]

The. The Steelers, man.

[C]

You're like, don't ask us questions, K.

[A]

But don't you feel the same way? They're just so inconsistent.

[B]

I.

[A]

Defense shows up one one week, then they don't. Aaron Rodgers, he's swinging the rock.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

The Falcons of the afc.

[B]

Yeah. The most inconsistent team in.

[C]

I want it for him. Like, I want. It's. It's better for all of us, I think honestly, if he's there at the end. End.

[A]

Like when the Ravens were one and a half.

[C]

So are they gonna.

[F]

Like.

[C]

My thing is like, I don't want to see them get into the playoffs and just get crushed. Like, that's like. That's like. That's the Steelers. Right.

[A]

Like their story. Yeah.

[C]

Lately. And then like, you want it to be, but like with him, don't you. Do we feel like you have a chance? Like, do we feel like. Like, I don't know.

[A]

We always feel like. You gotta show Rogers. What's just nuts is The Ravens are 1 in 5 coming out of the Bible.

[C]

They're gonna.

[A]

They're going favorites in the. In the books as like they're gonna win the North.

[C]

You guys show me the Raven schedule the rest of the way. The guys, they're going to go to the Super Bowl. You can't convince me otherwise. Look at the schedule. I believe it's the Jets, Browns, the Bengals twice. The Ravens or sorry, the. Who do they have.

[A]

We were on get up last week and we're saying that the last game.

[B]

Browns, Jets, Bengals, Bengals twice.

[C]

Derek Henry is going to go crazy on the Bengals twice. This is the best schedule in the NFL. They're going to have momentum. And of course the Pats. Yeah, that's. That's a fun one. But I'm saying they've got. They've just got the best schedule.

[A]

Last game of the year, Raven. Steelers. January 4th, both 9 and 7.

[C]

Ravens.

[B]

Dude, I think December 7th. It's gonna get figured out.

[C]

Yeah, they still have. So they got. Yeah. This is a beautiful little thing that the Ravens have. I'd say they're going to be your second half. Like, let's go to the moon here. I do.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What a fun game. Colts, Patriots. AFC championship.

[C]

Colts, Patriots.

[B]

[A]

[A]

This week on the podcast I am sitting down with Jenny Garth, host of the iHeart podcast. I choose me to discuss the new Audible adaptation of the timeline Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice. This is not a trick question. There's no wrong answer. What role would I play?

[C]

You know what?

[A]

I can see you as Mr. Darcy.

You got a little Colin Firth.

[A]

Okay, that's really sweet. I appreciate that. But are you sure I'm not the dad? I'm not Mr. Bennet here, listen to earsay the audible and iheart audio book club on the iheartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Anything?

[A]

What would K. Adams do anything?

[C]

Oh my gosh.

[B]

For can't say family.

[C]

Wait, what?

[B]

Can't say family. Family.

[C]

What are you guys talking about?

[B]

What's something that you would do anything for? What is something that you would do what is something. So Brock Bowers comes on the show.

[A]

You do anything for that person.

[C]

Oh, for.

[B]

Brock Bowers said, I'll do anything for a steak. A nice steak dinner. Steve Rinella comes on the show. He says, I would do anything to make this one documentary that no one's gonna care about but me. What was the other one? Dale said?

[H]

Nothing.

[B]

Yeah. Dale Earnhardt was like, I've done it.

[C]

Let me think. I would do anything for.

[A]

So earlier in your career, you're like, I'd do anything to get on tv. You're now on tv. Is there a new ambition?

[C]

No.

[B]

Love.

[A]

Would you do anything for love to settle down?

[I]

No.

[B]

That's a good answer. Peace.

[C]

For peace. No. I don't know, guys. I have to think of this now. I don't know. This was. I'm sure Kat told me this was coming and I forgot, so. You did, didn't you?

[B]

Anything for.

[C]

I don't know, but I do anything for. I would love a. Daniel. No, it's not going to happen. Jonathan Taylor, the. He's got no chance. I would do and I would do anything to have a. A. A baby fox as a pet.

[B]

Oh, that's a good one. That's a really good one.

[C]

Have you ever.

[B]

Have you watched YouTube videos on foxes as best?

[C]

No, but I had. Oh, my gosh. But look at that.

[B]

I'm.

[C]

I'm. But I don't. It's like a. A dog and a cat had a baby.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And it's a fox. I had a dream last night.

[B]

Fenic fox.

[C]

A what? I had a dream last night that I found a fox. Nurse it to health and it became. No, that's not cute.

[B]

You don't think that's cute?

[C]

I do not think that's cute. That's.

[B]

You don't think that's cute, buddy?

[A]

No.

[C]

You think that's cute?

[A]

I.

[C]

Show me a baby. You do.

[B]

I think that's pretty cute.

[A]

I feel like it does have the Chihuahua vibe.

[B]

Yeah. With giant ears.

[C]

Did you guys see the Chihuahua wolf thing?

[A]

No.

[C]

Can you guys go on, like, social. Like a, like search on tick tock or something? Search like wolf, Chihuahua.

[A]

Like a mix between those two.

[C]

No. Like, there's a little. I don't know the whole story. I haven't done my research, but there is a. This prob. Oh, my gosh. This makes sense. Why I had the fox dream because I was in this world. No, no, it's not going to be on, like a Google search. You have to, like, search it on tik tok or something.

[A]

There's a Chihuahua.

[C]

There is a Chihuahua that somehow, like, escaped there.

[B]

Why is this the first thing up?

[H]

That's hilarious.

[B]

What is going on here?

[C]

I can't believe you got a second go on that.

[B]

I'm gonna go again, too. My second one was all right. It wasn't great. Have you done a first pitch?

[C]

I have twice. How you do.

[A]

Oh, the wolf and the Chihuahua is hanging out.

[B]

Out.

[C]

Did you see us? Did you see?

[A]

I see kind of the black and white video.

[C]

Yes, that. Okay, so there's like a. This all makes sense. Why have you seen this? There's a wolf. Explain it. There's, like, a wolf pack, and there's a Chihuahua that has, like, left the coupe, like, left their domesticated home. And this Chihuahua is like the. The like, the OG Gangster kingpin of a pack of freaking actual wolves, and he's crushed. We have to see this. These things are so. But the Chihuahua thinks that it's a wolf, and the wolves think it's a wolf. It's actually kind of amazing. But, yeah, I would say I want to. I want a. A pet fox. That's my new thing. No, this isn't it. Yes, that stuff on the right.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Click that one.

[A]

Look at this guy just watching over his pack.

[C]

I'm not. It's not. There's so many of these videos with this, and it's, like, true. Truly. Le. It's kind of amazing. Now this makes sense why I have this.

[B]

Back up, homie.

[C]

Well, like, wire and fox.

[A]

Let's stunt in front of this camera right now.

[C]

Wire and fox.

[B]

That is so funny.

[C]

I don't know what the. What's the background story on that cat?

[B]

Look at this I just sent you.

[A]

This one's sick.

[C]

I thought it was AI for a long time.

[A]

Oh, it might be AI. You could be right.

[C]

Oh, it might not. No, this is. And then they're like. And then they're. Yeah, I don't think this is AI.

[B]

No, that's real. That's why CH was rip. That's real. Not.

[A]

Hey, that is badass.

[C]

And so. So I think I saw this before I went to bed, and I had a dream that I. That I adopted a fox. And then I was like, why aren't foxes pets? Why not? And there's. So are dogs and cats. What do you mean? How is it different?

[B]

There's, like, a fox farm.

[C]

Yeah. So like a domesticated fox. Like, why can't that be? Think about how regal and badass. Sorry to swear. God, we have to cut That I don't like swearing some more.

[B]

Sorry.

[C]

I'm so.

[A]

You're on the bus.

[C]

I mean, if I were to read some of these bumper stickers.

[B]

Don't.

[C]

Out loud. This would be.

[B]

You see how the purple stickers are over some of them?

[C]

Oh, gosh.

[A]

It's a good one. My child is on the honor roll. There's a lot of like elementary.

[C]

There's a lot of four letter words flying around.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

What was I saying? Oh, yeah. I want a fox. I would do anything to have a domesticated fox.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I would look so cool walking around with that.

[B]

What. What about a skunk? We talked about smelling things with the smelling things out of his bum.

[C]

No, I don't think that they're attractive. A fox is like beautiful.

[B]

Skunks are dark adorable.

[C]

No, you're like, I think Pepe le Pe right away.

[B]

Okay. First off, he had game. If it wasn't for the smell.

[C]

Interesting. I don't know about that. That's not cute.

[B]

Okay. We get. Get a full grown one.

[C]

Can we. A full grown one.

[B]

Look at these guys.

[C]

No, that's not cute.

[B]

Are you kid. Still not full grown. That's like a week older than the one you.

[C]

No, it's. It's giving rodent. But I like. But show me like a fox tail. Like there's baby foxes or two. And then like when they tell me.

[B]

A fox tail's better than that. That skunk tail.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And the noises they made too.

[C]

They're cooler than dogs and cats. Foxes. I don't know why we aren't hanging out with them more.

[B]

That's not your favorite animal is a fox?

[C]

No, but I just. I really don't even think I've really seen a fox until we were googling them this morning.

[B]

Have you ever heard of fox yell?

[C]

We. We looked at it. Cat was. Yeah, but look at that. Look at those. That is cool. Look at that tail.

[B]

You need to find the same tail on a husky. And I'm telling you right now, the high maintenance dogs.

[C]

I'm not saying it's not, but it's not any more. I don't know. I think I'm into it. I think everyone's.

[A]

Look, this is her question. This is her truth.

[C]

Yeah, this is my bud light.

[B]

Sure. Dude.

[A]

She'd do anything for.

[C]

That's what. I don't know why I'm trying to.

[B]

Fight you right now. Go ahead. You can have whatever you want.

[C]

I would do anything to have a fox as a pet.

[B]

If you could domesticate one animal, would it Be.

[C]

Well.

[A]

Either a tiger or lion.

[C]

You wouldn't freak that. I would. I couldn't.

[A]

The question, though, as if this is a domesticated animal.

[C]

But the worst thing a fox could do. You still are like, you're just going to chew at my furniture. Bite me. It's like a dog. No. You can do nothing worse to me than a dog can do.

[B]

Right.

[C]

Whereas that. We're in a different.

[B]

Yeah, we're in a different. Or something like that.

[A]

But again, if it's fully domesticated, like, hey, you want to go see my lion in the backyard?

[B]

And he's just chilling.

[A]

Yeah, he's.

[C]

Yeah. Must be nice to have space like that guy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Life is good for Buzz. Yeah.

[B]

There's Will right there.

[A]

That would be sick. Look how beautiful that tiger is.

[C]

Gorgeous, but real.

[A]

You need to look up. A wolf would be sick, but I just feel like a massive.

[C]

A wolf would be crazy.

[A]

Yeah. A wolf would be all time. But again, look how beautiful those tigers are. And then if. When you get time, cat do this for. For k. Kevin Richardson lions. Watch some Kevin Richardson lion videos on YouTube. Yeah, he's just a lion.

[C]

That is like, wild lions that got to have like. A wolf would be so crazy. Or like a cloned puppy like Tom.

[B]
