[Mitch]

Welcome back to another episode of Inside the Bus. The Bus. We'll get to that in a moment. But yeah, it's good to be back. This is episode nine. We don't have a guest today. We're also missing one of our fellow co hosts, Sherman Young. Congratulations to him and Jilly Bean. They had their baby girl, Scarlet. Young girl. Baby girl. Very proud of them. Very happy for them. I don't know when he'll be back, but for now it's just us. By popular demand too.

[Jared]

Who was that?

[Mitch]

Someone farted for sure.

[Jack]

Where's my shoe?

[Jared]

Was it really?

[Jack]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

Back at each other.

[Mitch]

But yeah, I. I'll let you know. Me and G weren't here for last week's episode but did do a little comment surfing. A lot of people are saying Jared beaming. The demon semen should be in front of the camera. So here he is. So Jared, take us there.

[Tyler]

Do something entertaining there.

[Mitch]

Yeah, dance monkey. All right, so yeah.

[Jared]

How was Greece? I don't got anything to say.

[Mitch]

Greece was.

[Tyler]

We need the top three. I think I gave my top three moments when I went. When I came back. So maybe I'll give your top three.

[Jack]

Go ahead, Jack.

[Mitch]

All right. I will say my third one would probably be going to the island of Eos. Our trip was very unplanned from the beginning to the end, and I think it was. Greece is a good place to go if you don't have a plan. You should have the. The initial plan of where you're. When you're flying. What airline book ticket and then probably the first hotel. But after that there's just a. A plethora of hotels and hostels if you're on a low budget or something, which we weren't. We were balling out, man. We were nice spots, you know, caviar. Hurting now, but yeah, standing the island. Eos is our last island we went to and it was just beautiful. Kind of like a party scene, younger crowd and a lot of just like melting pot people. But we had. We had a past. We met a few friends there, hung out with them the whole time. Just like everywhere you look like. I'm sure you can attest, jp, it's like you think you've seen the view of the weekend, right? Like the week. And then you just literally turn a corner and you just see something that makes you believe that there has to be a God out there. And it was cool. So, yeah, I'd say that's my third one. Do you want to go G? Third? Three and three, bar for bar.

[Jack]

Yeah. Yeah, my third. I wasn't thinking that entire time, honestly. But my third would probably be the. The boat ride we had with Lefty, our captain. It was me, Jack, my girlfriend, Tyler Boseman, Matthew Broadman, Kyle Brennan, an all star cast. We didn't get invited to the larger boat trip.

[Mitch]

Yeah, it was like the. Like, there wasn't groomsmen and bridesmaids. So the wedding party.

[Jack]

So we took the pirate sh with Lefty.

[Jared]

Is that the dude you're talking about?

[Tyler]

Sounds like it worked.

[Jack]

Different guy. It was. It was amazing. We would just cruise around the whole island in this awesome little dinghy boat swim, went to some caves, jumped off some cliffs. I mean, it was. It was an all star day. We got back and we were like, oh, how was yalls boat ride? They were like. I was kind of whatever. We're like, looks like we lucked out on that one.

[Tyler]

So that you can't rub it into them either.

[Mitch]

No, but it's something I'll remember for the rest.

[Tyler]

Right.

[Coop]

You hit a gainer, Jack.

[Mitch]

No, there really wasn't a place to do that. Maybe the cliffs. We had backflips off the cliffs.

[Jared]

Okay, but you got to hit it.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Greece.

[Mitch]

Yeah, but the rocks were jumping off of were pretty sharp.

[Tyler]

Gainers aren't really a move in Greece.

[Coop]

Yeah, it's not a European thing once you get there.

[Jack]

Pencil dive. Yeah, more of the pencil.

[Mitch]

Yeah. So that was your three?

[Jack]

That was my three, yeah. Sucks that that's three, because now I got to think of two and one.

[Mitch]

The funny side story from Lefty, our captain, he prepared us like a fresh plate of octopus.

[Jack]

I have a photo. We'll put it in there.

[Mitch]

An actual reference photo. Do we need to mark this down? Jared, do we need to mark this down?

[Tyler]

What? Oh, yeah, Put the photo.

[Jared]

Act like that. Sounds good to me.

[Jack]

I'm picky right now.

[Mitch]

I bet.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Jack]

It probably looks good.

[Jared]

Like, I'm picky.

[Tyler]

Have you ever had it?

[Jared]

What? Octopus?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

No, you haven't. Maybe. Maybe so.

[Jared]

I've been alive for 24 years and some change. I probably had octopus.

[Coop]

You probably have.

[Tyler]

Not probably.

[Jack]

Definitely not.

[Jared]

That does look gas. I know me, I wouldn't like it, but that does. What's the octopus?

[Jack]

That ain't at no.

[Mitch]

Sick.

[Jared]

We'll put the. We'll put the picture right here. I thought that was assorted nuts in the middle.

[Jack]

Nope, there ain't nothing hard on that plate.

[Jared]

That's pretty good.

[Mitch]

It was fire, but. So anyways, the two days after we go on the boat ride, we were at a. What's it called? Like, the. The opening party on Friday night.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

And it's at a bar and stuff, and we're leaving, and Bozeman had picked some random flowers, and we're walking out. I'm like, why do you have flowers? Like, I don't know, man. I need to find, like, a girl to give them to him. Like, that's a great idea. And all of a sudden, we see Lefty, our captain from Due Days Briar. He just passes us on the street, and he. He probably been out drinking a little bit with his girl, and he, like, hugs all of us. He's like, we love. He's like, I loved having you guys on the boat. Like, and then Bozo gives him the flowers, though, and gives it immediately to his girl. And his girl's, like, hugging him and kissing him, and he's, like, behind her back, like, winking. And we're like, dude, this is perfect.

[Tyler]

We got to get Lefty.

[Jack]

He was a legend.

[Mitch]

I'd say my second favorite, just generalized one is just the mopeds. Yeah. Every island we went to, we either rented a moped or an atv. And it's just, like, the accessibility of being able to drive around wherever, whenever the island went to. Originally Spets, this doesn't have public cars or transit. So, like, unless you're a taxi or, like, working for a restaurant, it's only ATVs and scooters. So I just love being able. And we. You could drive the whole island in an hour and a half on Spetsis on a moped, and you just see 30 of the craziest views you've ever seen in your life. So for sure, it was cool.

[Jack]

I'll piggyback off of that. My second one was, it felt like you were truly on what they call island time. Like, you woke up, you had no plan for the day, but everything worked out. Our friend Tyler, we've referenced him. We'll put a photo up of him. But he kept saying he was like, I'm exactly where I need to be. Like, if it felt like something could go wrong or, like, you know, whatever it was. But he would just always be like, I'm exactly where I need to be. Like, this is perfect. So number two for me would definitely be the true feeling of being on, like, island time with no plan and everything was exactly how it needed to be.

[Tyler]

That's fire.

[Mitch]

Yeah. Well said.

[Jack]

Bar.

[Mitch]

My number one, without a doubt, Garrett was, like, partially involved in this story. But, like, just hang with me. I'll try and condense it. I think I know, but so that when I was saying earlier about the flower situation and our boat captain, right after that, we were leaving, and we ended up going to, like, a bar. And it looked like a bar that you'd see in East Nashville and thank God, Atlantis, Garrett's girlfriend, like, came up to me and Garrett, and, like, maybe broads was like, hey, like, we can be in a bar like this whenever we want. Like, let's do something else. And she, I think, wanted to go to, like, an outdoor kind of atmosphere. And we ended up just shifting.

[Jack]

Yeah. We were like, let's just go. Let's be outside. Like, we go drink somewhere outside. There's so many places.

[Mitch]

Yeah. And it's probably, like, 10pm we're legit.

[Jack]

At Lakeside of Spets.

[Tyler]

When y' all posted the pool table.

[Mitch]

Yeah, that was in Santorini. And I was like, I found where I need to be. I Had to have a moment at a pool table. And she's like, I don't care. There's like all these clubs outside, like, need to just shoot pool and place you can smoke cigarettes. But. So we go to a beach, we're there for like an hour. We're driving back towards. It's like 15 minutes from where we were staying. We drive back towards, and right before we get there, there's like a really nice. All the beaches there are like, you can go on them at any time of the day. And mostly during the day you have to pay like euros to rent a beach chair. But, like, nothing is private, so to say, unless it's like the nicest place on the island, which we didn't experience. But we go back and right across the street from the beach access is like what looked like to me like the US Embassy. It was this massive, like botanical gardens with this long, like 50 yard pathway that led up to this massive, like, like school looking building. And there was like this huge cast iron gate and it was open and everyone's going to the beach. And I was like, are we not seeing what's going on?

[Jack]

Right? Like, it was like, very curious.

[Mitch]

And there's flags of every country, lining pathway. And it's like beautiful gardens. And I'm like, what the. I'm like, is no one want to go.

[Jack]

We were banged up.

[Coop]

Yeah, this is calling Jack right now.

[Mitch]

I literally like, do y' all not hear that?

[Coop]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

And so I'm like, dude, I had. And they started and like, no discredit to them at all. Like, they made the right decision. They're like, we're gonna go hang on the beach. So the Bozeman, Garrett and Atlantis go on the beach. And Broad just like. I don't know. Like, I'm kind of curious too.

[Tyler]

I can hear him, Jack.

[Mitch]

So. And as they like walk away, we look and like an old man, like 30 yards away, like, walks like through the bushes, across the path, like with a hose, and then like out of sight. And I'm like, okay, we got it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, get out.

[Mitch]

And so we. I'm like, matt, go ask.

[Jack]

Quite the opposite.

[Mitch]

Matt's so good with talking to people. I'm like, go see what's going on in here. I'm like, what the is this? And the. The way the path is. Do you know those stress walking mats where it like, almost hurts? Yeah, the rock formation is like that, but we have shoes on. We make it about halfway down this path. And Matt's like, excuse me. And the guy goes before you say anything, take off your shoes. And Matt's like, what? And he's like, take off your shoes. And we're like, oh yeah. Like, take off the shoes. And he's like, now, how may I help you? And so we walk towards him and it like hurts to walk on this.

[Tyler]

Oh yeah. But like, was he barefoot?

[Mitch]

Oh yeah.

[Jack]

Oh yeah.

[Tyler]

And just cruising through it like it's not. I don't know how they do that.

[Mitch]

And so he starts telling us it's like an old school that like stopped or ceased to exist for like students back in like the late 90s. He went there when he was like in high school. But he's like the night guard, slash, like groundskeeper of the garden.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

And next thing you know, he has got me and Matt working. We're fucking working for an hour. I'm not exaggerating, like weeding or like in the garden, we're watering everything. So he has like a knee bandage on. He's 60 years old. And he's like, he's like, if you guys want me to tell you more. He's like, go grab those buckets. He's like, I need help. I have a bad knee. And I'm like, yeah, for sure. And I'm like walking on this, the rock with like two big ass, 10 gallon buckets of water. And he's like, your friend walk. He's like, your friend walks good on this. And I was like, yes, thank God. I'm like, oh, that's huge. But so we end up like helping him for like the next hour. And then he brings us to his like night hut stand and me and Broad sit there and talk with him for the next three hours. And we, he's like, he's like, I'll pour you drink, we'll a cigarette. And I'm like, dude, yeah. Like, you're speaking my language. This is what I wanted to do all along. But like, I'm glad I earned it. And he was the nicest guy, nicest guy I've ever met in my life. His name was Adonis Ad Montana. He has a lot of names, but he was very fluent in English and just very wise. It was just like so good for the soul. It probably sounds like so lame once you get cliche about it, but like, it truly was one of the coolest experiences of my life. We went back the next day just to make sure the guy was real.

[Tyler]

Right.

[Coop]

Just like hallucinating.

[Mitch]

Yeah. And there's no building pull up. And like we hugged him and he's like, last night was amazing. He's like, thank you so much. And I have this video I took of him, and I. I'm like. I'm like, A.D. i'm like, give us a piece of knowledge. And he basically. And not trying to, like, like, be boastful, but he was like, you guys give America a much better name than I thought it would. But I. I was. There's music playing on my phone, so the whole time, you just hear the music. And it was, like, the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me in Broads. And all you just hear him is. And it's like this really chill, like, kind of, like, song. But.

[Jared]

So that was my God's plan.

[Mitch]

Yeah, Literally. But, yeah, sorry. Thank you for. For keeping with me if there's literally anyone listening to this still. But that was my number.

[Jared]

That is hilarious.

[Tyler]

Exactly where you needed to be.

[Jack]

Yeah, you were funny. Because we did split off, and all of us were not going in there. Like, the lights are on. Like, I'm trying to go chill by the beach, right? We have a vibe going right now. And like, dude, yeah, that was a. That was a hilarious experience. They called us, and they were like, we've met the king.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Jack]

I was like, if this dude. I'm not coming in there unless this dude is sitting on a throne. And I go in, turn left. And they're just sitting with this gardener, like, in the shadows, drinking some Uzo.

[Mitch]

But no, we were drinking. It was. It's Campari and soda. And, like, I. You know, we were kind of banged up, like. And I kept being like, what is that, man? And he's. And I'm like, is it liquor? And he's like. He's laughing. Broads knows what it is because he's, you know, traveled in Europe before. But it's like a digestive liqueur. So we've been sharing out of a cup. I asked to go get water, and I go in his little stand, and he's like, it's the clear bottle. But, like, everything's glass and clear. And so I grab one. I come out, and he's like, oh, my gosh. And I'm like, what? And he. He, like, says something in Greek. I'm like, is this the hard stuff? And it's like, liquor. And so me, him, and broads end up just start, like, drinking it just straight. Just like. And by the end of it.

[Tyler]

That's incredible.

[Mitch]

He's getting up. He's like, oh, my God.

[Jack]

Well, I went in there after a lot of hours And I had to take a. And it's like 2:30 in the morning.

[Tyler]

And you flush the toilet.

[Jack]

And I walk in. No, I walk in, I'm like. I. Like, unless I can go in there and take a. Like, I'm. I have to go back.

[Mitch]

It wasn't that kind of vibe.

[Jack]

No, it definitely wasn't. And I walk in, and he tells Bozeman, hey, your friend is stressed. Tell him to walk on these rocks. And I was like, yeah, I'm stressed out to dog. Like, no wonder. And then it got to a point where I did try and walk, and I turned around. I was like, this hurts. I have to. I was like, I will take this bad energy and I will go home.

[Tyler]

You guys, like, walk on the rocks.

[Jack]

And then it kind of made it worse.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Jack]

For me, because then I was just. Feet were hurting at a. It was a mixture. But that was a funny moment. My number one. After Greece, my girlfriend and I went to Italy and we did another boat tour. And this was probably number one, because going into it, I was like, all right. Our last boat trip was so much fun. This one is. It's definitely gonna be groups of people. It's like us two, this family of five with, like, high schoolish age kids, another couple, and then this other couple and maybe their daughter. So I'm going into it. I'm like, all right, this is gonna be fun. We get up right before we get on the boat, the dad somehow gets in small talk with me about where we're from. And I just remember. I really was not listening. And I remember him asking me, like, do you rent or own your home? And I was like, was he American? Yeah. Yeah. And that's how the conversation started, because I was like, oh, okay. But I'm sitting here thinking, like, I looked at Atlantis, like, we might have to get off this boat. Like, I can't do a whole day with this guy that's, like, right, gonna ask me dumb questions and get on the boat. Not even five minutes into the boat ride, the guy that's closer to our age, the other couple, he's, like, kind of talking to his girlfriend and, like, looking at me talking to his girlfriend. He looks at me. He goes, you work for busting with the boys? I was like, yes, I do. And he was like, dude, kiddo on back of the bus. And I was like, we're in good hands.

[Tyler]

International reach.

[Jack]

Hey. Then the dad that was, like, going crazy before leans up and he goes, hold on, wait. How do you know him? How do you. How do you know him. I'm like, I don't. Like, how do we explain this whole thing? He goes, you have a podcast?

[Tyler]

No, like, just Google me.

[Mitch]

I mean, we do have a podcast.

[Jack]

The other guy, the other, like guy. Shane. Shout out Shane and Cece. But Shane was like, well, you kind of do have a podcast. And I was like, that's my guy right here. But going throughout the rest of the day, it was like a seven hour trip. So it's basically the whole day on this boat going up and down the Amalfi Coast. And after that weird start, and then Shane luckily breaking ice, we all start talking. It couldn't have been a better day. That family was so funny. The dad was like such a goober. The kids were so good about being like, dad, you are so embarrassing. He ate it up. They were again, it couldn't have been nicer. The other couple, Shane and Cece, were so cool. They're from outside the Bay Area, massive Niners fan, but spend the whole day on the boat with them, swimming, doing all the similar stuff. We get back and the family's like, hey, whenever y' all want to come up there from Seattle, whenever y' all want to come up to Seattle, stay at the house. We live on the lake. More than welcome. Doors are always open. So then I put it together. I was like, okay, this family's rich. As the dad's a lawyer, they have no free shout out the his lawyer. His law firm's name is Washington Law Center. And he was just like explaining to me, like, the fact that you have like Washington in your law firm name is like, massive. So I look him up and he's like, one of the top lawyers in the state of Washington.

[Jared]

Damn.

[Jack]

And whatever. So we get to the point of like, this is either really cool or they're trying to fucking kill us.

[Coop]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Like, there's some weird shit going on. We end up spending the whole rest of the day with the other couple, Cece and Shane. Like, we had a dinner reservation. We called, we added two seats. They had a bar reservation. They call, added two seats. And we hung with them after the boat ride till like three or four in the morning. And just, it was so fun. Like, they were so cool. It felt like I knew them for forever. But yeah, so that's also a shout out to Shane. I know you're probably listening, but that was, that was my number one, which was hard to top anything in Greece. But the fact that that day turned around the way it did was he.

[Jared]

Could help us get our name Back.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jack]

What's crazy, I didn't even get the dad's name. I don't think I got anyone's name.

[Coop]

Yeah, I'm sure you could look him up and see him on the Spencer Parr.

[Jack]

That's what it was. I did get it from looking him up.

[Jared]

Damn.

[Jack]

When I looked him up.

[Jared]

That's a real time chat. Gbt.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Are you gonna go?

[Coop]

You gonna make a trip out of Seattle? What about. Would you go. Would you go out to the Bay Area and hang out with Shane and CC Again?

[Jack]

Probably not. They can come here.

[Tyler]

Shane will come.

[Jack]

Yeah, he.

[Mitch]

Yeah, he's listening.

[Jack]

Yeah, he's listening. But, like, I'm not trying to.

[Tyler]

That is a really good shout out. No free shout out. Because when Sid and I were going on our honeymoon, we were hoping hopefully we can meet a couple that we're gonna hang out with and be friends with when we leave. And it never happened. And it was a bummer. And then to hear that story, I'm like, that's what you want out of a trip?

[Coop]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Halfway through the day, I'm like, this is sick. Like, we're just chilling with, like, friends again. And then the fact that we got dinner with them, went and got drinks. Like, we all were talking about how it was just like, this feels so, like, normal.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jack]

It's so funny. They were leaving the next day. It was our first full day. But it was cool. I mean, I. I would go visit, but, like, they didn't. They didn't expect. It was like, there's more for them to do here.

[Coop]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Me to go there.

[Coop]

I just. I have. The reason I asked is my. My parents have, like, met other Americans and stuff on, like, out of the country trips. And, like, they've actually kept in contact with them and we'll, like, plan their trips together. To go down at the same time.

[Jack]

No. Hundred percent. Our door is always open if they come to Nashville. And he can come check out the bus. But, yeah, he was. He had the Niners tattoo in the sleeve design. The sickest Niners gold chain. And I was like, I need to just send a picture to George.

[Coop]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Hey, you need this.

[Tyler]

All I can think about as y' all are telling these stories is, yeah, I always forget his name. What's Yalls friend that does the commercials? He does the Jarvis.

[Mitch]

Sam Landers, bro. When y' all are Sam Landers, the real Dell on Instagram and Tik Tok.

[Tyler]

Because this where I saw this one.

[Jack]

Make her nine feet tall.

[Tyler]

As y' all are telling the stories. I don't know if you saw his video of, like, how active listeners will be. And he's like, somebody is talking about football. She likes. I was in a football game. He's like, oh, really? Football? Tennessee, man. It's got to be awesome, right? And the guy says, like, two more words, and then he, like, inches even closer and keeps on commenting. And all I'm thinking about the whole time you are telling the story is, man, Sam would have a great time doing a active listener skit if he's ever in Nashville.

[Mitch]

He would. He would 100% come on here.

[Tyler]

He's one of my favorite creators on there.

[Mitch]

We will plug his thing in here.

[Jared]

Put his video right here.

[Mitch]

We actually. Are we going to do reference photos and videos or not?

[Coop]

I mean, I feel like at this point, it's kind of turned into a bit. And Jared, that seems like a week.

[Mitch]

Oh, yeah.

[Jared]

I don't think that clips.

[Mitch]

We gotta put Sam in. But I feel like the listeners want it just like, if you watch on YouTube.

[Coop]

No, but they've also said in, like, in the comments, the guy. People, the fans are like. I think at first I was kind of annoyed, but, like, this is kind of getting funny now that there's no reference photos, because.

[Tyler]

Put in one per episode.

[Coop]

Yeah, you guys, I have never said let's enter a reference photo, because it's just more work.

[Mitch]

One per episode.

[Coop]

And you also have to send me the pictures that you guys want.

[Mitch]

All right, so if I send you a bunch, you're gonna put them in just one. I mean, what if I send, like, one every two minutes?

[Tyler]

You just gotta send a collage.

[Mitch]

Yeah, we'll put in.

[Tyler]

We'll put in the real friends over everything.

[Jared]

The reverence collage, everyone.

[Mitch]

But also kind of on some housekeeping stuff. We mentioned maybe that lawyer could get our name back.

[Jack]

Kid. Did y' all talk about this?

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah, we touched on it.

[Coop]

Yeah, we didn't want to, like, get to.

[Jack]

Did y' all have the name when you talked about it last? Or was it like, hey, we got to find a new name.

[Coop]

No, we had. Yeah, we had it. And. And we didn't want to go, like, too into Dev, because we didn't. The other Back of the bus. We don't want to know what, like, what that whole spiel looks like.

[Jared]

I was gonna say real spiel.

[Jack]

Wait, I have a box downstairs we have to open.

[Coop]

We. Oh, shit.

[Jared]

Yeah, we do.

[Coop]

We.

[Jared]

What do you mean?

[Tyler]

That thing.

[Coop]

Somehow I forget how we landed on. Oh, inside the bus.

[Mitch]

Hold on.

[Jack]

Pause really quick.

[Mitch]

Hey, Ryan.

[Jack]

Oh, well, you're under me. Can you get that custom ink box at my desk?

[Coop]

Oh, yeah.

[Jack]

Thank you.

[Mitch]

Are we 100% sold on inside the Bus? Are you? I'm not. I'm not against it. I'm just saying, like, do we branch off to something different than bus related in the name?

[Coop]

I. I mean, we had a meeting about it. We were. I mean, obviously you guys.

[Mitch]

Dude, I feel like you have to ask these questions, and we're gonna be stuck with it for life. Like, no, we made the right decision.

[Coop]

The timing. The timing was tough, too, because obviously you guys were abroad and, like, disconnected. Yeah. So, like, it was really just me, jp, Jared, and Coop just kind of, like, trying to figure out.

[Jared]

I think it's a fun little brainstorm sesh.

[Mitch]

I don't mind it.

[Jack]

I loved all the ones Jared sent me.

[Jared]

Backseat. Yeah, I like that one.

[Coop]

Then clump, clump has to go through and find and, like, make sure that they're, like, not something. So inside the bus is fine. If we want to rebrand again, I guess we.

[Mitch]

I mean, ITB isn't a, like, a solid acronym, too. Like, if you want to just have it out there. Itb, you know, the ITB boys and.

[Jared]

The logo didn't change too much.

[Jack]

Just want to throw that out.

[Mitch]

I know, I know. As soon as I just said if it's not bus related, I kind of look. Looked you deep in your soul. Well, even a little bit of. Even the word.

[Jack]

Even the wording part still fits.

[Mitch]

Like, it looks. No, I'm fine with it. Just drop in the comments.

[Jack]

Crazy dude. I think the name's Fire.

[Mitch]

We're gonna post. So who thought of it? Jared?

[Jared]

No.

[Tyler]

No.

[Jared]

Maybe. I don't know.

[Coop]

I think it. I want to say.

[Mitch]

I think the name's great.

[Coop]

Well, I feel like you're just kind.

[Jack]

Of inside the bus.

[Coop]

I feel like you're just kind of saying that to say that without causing beef right now. I feel like you don't like it.

[Mitch]

No, no. I seriously do not dislike it.

[Coop]

But you don't love it.

[Mitch]

No, no, no, I don't.

[Coop]

You can like it now.

[Mitch]

I like it.

[Coop]

Not love it.

[Mitch]

I don't know if I love it.

[Coop]

Yet, because I. I keep.

[Mitch]

I mean, don't not.

[Jack]

It is tough because we had such a fire one to start.

[Coop]

I know.

[Jack]

I don't want to give credit. It's like the Redskins going to the commanders.

[Tyler]

Right.

[Coop]

But, like, we'll grow.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Coop]

Right.

[Tyler]

You got to be good. We've got to have Jaden Daniels. Jared's our Jaden Daniels now all of a sudden, the Commanders is cool.

[Jack]

Yes.

[Tyler]

Inside the bus.

[Jack]

And they just went back to their retro uniform.

[Mitch]

So that's.

[Tyler]

I've been saying, Jared, who does Jane Daniels play for?

[Jared]

Do what?

[Tyler]

Who does Jaden Daniels play for?

[Jared]

Commanders.

[Tyler]

There you go, my guy.

[Jared]

Thank you.

[Coop]

I do have. I did say Will thought of the name Coop. Actually did. Because he thought of, like, inside the NFL, inside basketball, inside the NBA. So, like, that was a Coop range.

[Mitch]

I didn't mean to pat myself in the back. Hey, by the way.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

Pardon my bus.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Macro bussing or Danny Hood.

[Coop]

Danny Woodhead or Vanny Woodhead.

[Tyler]

Shout out. Danny Woodhead.

[Coop]

I thought.

[Jared]

I thought busting with the men was hilarious, but obviously. Busting with the what?

[Mitch]

Busting with the men.

[Jack]

Men.

[Tyler]

Menly manly men.

[Jack]

That would be a good one.

[Jared]

Jared, what show is that?

[Jack]

Men.

[Jared]

Men, Two and a Half Men. Who stars Charlie Sheen.

[Coop]

That's actually like.

[Mitch]

That. Be so impressive.

[Jack]

Who replaced Jake?

[Jared]

Who replaced Charlie Sheen Was Ashton Kutcher. Yeah, same on my two and a half man.

[Jack]

Hey, Jaden Daniels.

[Jared]

I love that show.

[Mitch]

Game changer Gas.

[Tyler]

Tell us, are we good to move on to this weekend? Saturday morning brunch?

[Mitch]

Yeah, just. Just comment. And if we should keep inside the bus. I think we should. But just comment.

[Tyler]

J. What are you most nervous? Jared has invited all of us to his house. He's been wanting to host a brunch. So this Saturday at 11am Jared is hosting.

[Jared]

Didn't we say this on the pod last week? Wasn't that. No, but I thought we was last week. Not when we were like, oh, we all need to hang out with our girlfriends. Or is that off? Yeah, but that's what we were pitching. That's when it came into my head. I was like, I want to. I still want to do topgolf. No, that's at this point. But when we talked about it last week is when I was like, I want to host everybody. But anyway, sorry, go ahead.

[Tyler]

No, it's on you.

[Jack]

You're the host.

[Tyler]

Oh, sorry. What are you most nervous about?

[Jared]

My number one. This is such a boring thing. I know about rain. I'm chairs. Oh, yeah. Chairs and rain. I don't have enough chairs for everybody. I was a little over ambitious on the invites. We got like 14 people coming.

[Jack]

Who's coming?

[Jared]

All of y'. All significant others, two of the interns and two of Mackenzie's friends.

[Mitch]

What's your address?

[Coop]

We didn't turn.

[Mitch]

We'll drop it in the comments.

[Jared]

Is Coming and you coming. Brian's coming.

[Coop]

I'm surprised Matt's not going.

[Tyler]

I was like, maybe I can come like six.

[Jared]

He said, maybe I can come before the wedding. Like brunch? Yeah. Bloody Mary or something.

[Tyler]

You've never had a Bloody Mary or.

[Jared]

No, I've had one before. I just don't like them.

[Tyler]

You should. Okay. I couldn't remember when we were talking about.

[Jared]

Yeah, so I'm most nervous about rain because, like, I'm gonna have like, the seating outside. Like, the idea is, like, we're all sitting in the yard, Mimosis are flowing, Bloody Marys are going.

[Coop]

Demons.

[Jared]

Yeah, we. We're adding to the menu.

[Tyler]

Are you getting drunk?

[Jared]

I'm getting hammered.

[Jack]

I can't wait.

[Coop]

I can't wait for you to tell us.

[Jack]

He loves us.

[Jared]

And if we get.

[Mitch]

Jared's gonna.

[Jared]

And if we get to UFC that night, if I. If we make it to UFC that night.

[Tyler]

Leaning.

[Jared]

Just leaning.

[Coop]

You, I guarantee you. I know. He said he almost did it our. At my party, there's gonna be.

[Tyler]

Oh, this is prime time.

[Jared]

If it's at my house, like, got everyone at my house so special. Y' all. Everybody start tearing up.

[Tyler]

Yeah. No, you're definitely gonna call for a speeches. Wait, do you have mimosas? Are you making merch or. Why were you sewing last night?

[Jared]

All right, well, this would be a big pivot. That was a great segue. That was a crazy segue. I'm trying to think how to make this not the longest, most boring story ever.

[Tyler]

Sewing at 11pm is what we've heard.

[Jared]

Super long story. That has absolutely nothing to do with the. The brunch. My dog just got spayed. Like she just had surgery. So she's like, when you perform the surgery. Yeah, I did the certain now. So, like, you know how, like, their. Their stomach's like, cut open or whatever when your dog has surgery and like, they have to wear the cone like this is.

[Coop]

Resell it together. No, that would be.

[Mitch]

That would be just a comfort pillow.

[Jared]

That was like hard or something.

[Tyler]

Oh, should be why you notice?

[Jared]

Doing you a favor. Long story short, like, she. She needs a cone. The cone didn't fit that they gave us at the vet, so. All right, I'll go out and buy another cone. That cone didn't fit. Like, I measured it. Go to the store, buy it. Doesn't fit. So then Mackenzie sends me this thing. It's like, oh, there's like this skin tight suit you can put on your dog, right? That like, covers its wound so it doesn't lick itself. It's 45. It's this place right by here. Shout out them. They were cool helping me pick it out, but I guess they aren't them because it didn't fit. We got all the measurements of this stupid. I love.

[Tyler]

I gotta see a photo of these suits, dude.

[Jared]

So I buy this suit. It's $45. Doesn't fit. Now we're like $75 in the hole. Then I go to Petsmart and buy. I'm like, you know, I don't want to go to any more stores. I buy another suit and another cones. I'm like, if neither of these work, we're like 150 in the hole. Now the other suit doesn't seem to.

[Tyler]

Be like, user error.

[Jack]

Can you not return the other.

[Jared]

This is a one thing you. They literally tell me, like, the cone probably, actually, but they're. They're cheaper. The suits are what's expensive and you can't return them all.

[Jack]

That being said, custom fit, fast forward.

[Jared]

It's like 11pm dog is just whining, whining. Hates the cone, hates the suit that doesn't fit her. I was like, you know what? Like, three years ago, my mom gave me a sewing kit, like, as a gift for something. And I was like, I will never.

[Tyler]

Use for some reason.

[Jared]

Yeah, like, it's just like a mom. Yeah, right.

[Tyler]

It's like some reason.

[Jared]

Like, do you not get, like, random gifts that you're like, I'll never use this.

[Coop]

I've never got a sign.

[Jack]

I'm 31 and I don't. I wasn't targeted.

[Tyler]

Hey, if you like to sew, that's honestly a. That's probably on a list of, like, attractive qualities that females see in men sewing.

[Jared]

It's never too late to learn how to sew anyway.

[Jack]

Really?

[Jared]

I've never sewed. My mom just got me a sewing kit. If you're so, then I don't know why I took it upon myself at like 11:30 at night. I was like, you know what? She's wearing this suit to go to sleep because she can't go to sleep without one of them. You know what I mean? Like, because if she goes to sleep without them, she's gonna, like, lick down there.

[Tyler]

Do you have a photo of the suit?

[Jared]

I'll look, I'll put on the screen if I do.

[Tyler]

But I just want to see it.

[Mitch]

Then I use our reference photo.

[Jared]

I take apart this suit.

[Mitch]

Sorry, guys.

[Jared]

I watch a YouTube video. Like, that's 30 minutes on how to sew. I Take apart the suit. Like I'm cutting it.

[Jack]

Stitching.

[Jared]

I redid the suit and it fits her now, but then like it's got a cape.

[Tyler]

Hey, so we can bring our suits for alterations.

[Jared]

It popped off later, but I learned how to sew. That's nice, but.

[Coop]

Shout out, Damon.

[Mitch]

YouTube. Or were you just hand eyeing?

[Jared]

No, I had YouTubed it.

[Tyler]

Smart be celebrity.

[Jared]

I was up till three in the morning last night.

[Jack]

Sewing machine on the table.

[Tyler]

Dang, man. What time did you get here?

[Jared]

9.

[Coop]

You were up until 3am last night with this dog?

[Jared]

Stop whining, dude.

[Jack]

So do you regret.

[Jared]

No, I love her. I love Maple so much. Shout out, Wags and walks.

[Tyler]

Actually, Coop, you take this one.

[Mitch]

Well, I don't remember all the details.

[Jared]

All I know is that Jared. And was it in college or high school that you just got so annoyed with your new puppy that you just got rid of it?

[Tyler]

Jared has a history of not eating dogs.

[Jared]

That is so far from the truth.

[Mitch]

Please. This is yours.

[Jack]

Maple's listening. Dude, you better.

[Mitch]

I need you to be very. Tell me. Never got rid of a dog.

[Jared]

Never got rid of a dog.

[Tyler]

Where is it now in the family still?

[Jared]

That's not getting rid of it was.

[Mitch]

Who?

[Jared]

Let me explain. Okay. Sophomore year, college, I bought a puppy. My parents had Yorkies and stuff. So I was like, I want a Yorkie. You know how you bigger Yorkies, they can get bigger?

[Coop]

Gave it to your family. You just gave the dog to your family?

[Jack]

Yes.

[Coop]

I don't want it.

[Jared]

Yeah, but, dude, the thing is, I bought this fucking Yorkie and it's already. My parents are like this big. A bigger Yorkie. I buy from the same breeder as them. I get a toy, a toy Yorkie that's like three pounds and it never got bigger. So. Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of Frankie. I'm sorry. Frankie, my old dog. I had him all the way through college. I kept him for three years. When I moved to Nashville, I told my mom. I was like. Like, I'm not bringing Frankie to Nashville. And I was like, zero remorse.

[Mitch]

Three years. Yeah.

[Jared]

Yeah. So I said, I'm either gonna. I had friends that had, like, watched him before. And, like, they loved them. Like, they were like wanting a dog. I was like. I mean, I spent like $3,000 on this.

[Tyler]

But you did.

[Jared]

So now. So I'm either gonna give them to a friend or give them to my parents. My parents already have Yorkies, so they have Frankie. So I see Frankie on the holidays.

[Mitch]

Okay.

[Jack]

Is he.

[Jared]

Every time I'm like, do you think he remembers. Like, do y' all honestly think he remembers those three years that we, like, slept the same bed every night?

[Jack]

Trauma, trauma. Trauma sticks with people.

[Mitch]

Dude, that's crazy.

[Jack]

Like, there's no way he remembers three.

[Jared]

Years of me abusing him.

[Mitch]

So think about that.

[Jared]

That's true. But he's a dog.

[Tyler]

When you walk in, does he get hyp or not?

[Jack]

We all.

[Coop]

Yeah, he remembers you. My dog will remember me, and I see him, like, twice a year.

[Jared]

Do you think he's like, bro, why.

[Tyler]

Don'T you care for that dog?

[Mitch]

He's like, why do you think he.

[Jared]

Like, literally, like, kind of like, he.

[Mitch]

Probably hugs your dad. Like, Will Smith and Uncle Phil hug each other and that why he don't love me, man.

[Tyler]

Why he don't want me. I learned to drive without him. I went on my first date without him. And I'm gonna be a hell of a lot better father than he ever was.

[Jared]

Jared's talking like it was three weeks.

[Jack]

He's like, do you think he really.

[Mitch]

Cares about three years?

[Jared]

How many dog years is it in dog years?

[Coop]

It's like, 21 years.

[Tyler]

Dang.

[Jared]

I want to be clear. I would never, like, just, like, discard a dog. I'd never give a dog to, like, the pound. I would never, like, get rid of a dog.

[Mitch]

That's different.

[Jared]

Just, like, giving it to the family.

[Tyler]

What is it? A dog is only a part. Like, a part of your life, but you're.

[Jared]

Yeah, I know. The dog's holding three years, and that's one. Shout out blue, my husky. Shout out maple, my little German shepherd. They're gonna make it their entire life. I did the math the other day. It's crazy that I'm 24 and I'll have this.

[Coop]

Jerry's holding it like he's rapping into it.

[Jack]

Yo, I got something to say.

[Jared]

It's so funny to me that I'll have Miss Biscuits until I'm, like, 35. Is that crazy?

[Tyler]

Ship her off the streets, are 35.

[Jack]

It's over. Miss Biscuits.

[Jared]

I'm over. I'm just saying that that's nuts. Like, I got her, like, randomly, like, a year or two ago. And, like, I'm gonna have her until I'm, like, in my mid-30s.

[Coop]

I mean, Jack will have Bonnie until he's 37.

[Jared]

Did you ever think about that?

[Mitch]

Jeez, man.

[Jared]

Like, you're gonna be, like, pushing 40.

[Coop]

I don't know how old Bonnie was.

[Mitch]

I mean, seven would be. Bonnie's sick, so. I mean, her living at 13 would be. I don't know. I was really thinking about this the other day. The dog park tearing up while I was walking around. I was like, God, man. Like, just give it to your inevitable day that you'll have to face just along with a pet or, like, a parent or anything. Like, it has turned hard. But it's. I mean, you have to. You have to acknowledge these facts beforehand, or else once the day comes, you're gonna be in shambles. So being able to.

[Jack]

Not that dark.

[Mitch]

I don't know.

[Tyler]

Did you have a dog before, Bonnie?

[Mitch]

Hug your. What?

[Tyler]

Did you have a dog before Bonnie?

[Mitch]

Me. And so what's funny is me and Bozeman actually had a dog in college. You got rid of it and. Oh, no, it's a different rip, dude. It is a different. It wasn't like I bought a. Like, you said you spent three grand on this dog. Correct.

[Jared]

It was like. It was like a covet. Check.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

So me and Tyler, we were living in a fraternity house at the time. We went on Facebook, Marketplace, and there was a dog. I'm telling you, we need to insert reference photos, man. But anyways, we go and pick this dog up. We drive 45 minutes outside of Knoxville. We stop at a Walgreens, and a minivan pulls up next to us. And, like, I can't make this up. The minivan door opens, and it's three little girls that probably can't be the oldest, you know, as like 11 maybe, and their dad, and they're all three holding the leash. And he's like, jumping around. He's like, 40 bucks and it's yours. And we're like, we'll take him. Get in the car. So we had Dewey for like, a year and a half. He lived with us through the house the whole time. And then we went to our new apartment complex. To be fair, I would never have chosen to get rid of them. My apartment complex threatened to evict us.

[Jared]

So you don't move there.

[Mitch]

Well, we. It was too late, you know, and. Dude, I think it's not your time to speak right now. Dog abandoner. We're one in the same. But he ended up staying in the fraternity house. Was kind of like a house dog for a while. And then, best case scenario, our buddy Spencer, he literally. Dewey went to the farm outside of Knoxville, an hour away. He went and lived near Pigeon forge on, like, 100 acre farm for, like, the last three years of his life. And then last year, he got cancer and died. So. Damn.

[Coop]

Rip.

[Tyler]

Rip, Dewey, rip.

[Mitch]

Dude, great dog.

[Jared]

But, yeah, Frankie's still rocking and rolling.

[Mitch]

So there's. There's still time for you to go reclaim with yours.

[Jared]

Come in. Right.

[Tyler]

Dude, this is because I want to say, were you gonna get evicted?

[Mitch]

I did get evicted for Bonnie.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Mitch]

With the house with Garrett.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jared]

That's. That's sick.

[Mitch]

Yeah. While I was in Hawaii.

[Tyler]

Right. So you learned from your. Your past one.

[Mitch]

You learned from it. So, I mean, you're only as good as your failures, so.

[Tyler]

As good as your last dog. Same damn thing.

[Jared]

Frankie's jealous. I know how to react to that. Think Frankie's jealous seeing you start a new family. Frankie doesn't even know. Frankie doesn't know that Maple exists. When you get put up for adoption, your dad just goes, makes a new family. It looks happy without you. I don't know what to say.

[Tyler]

I didn't.

[Jack]

Three kids.

[Jared]

I didn't want a toy for, like, a toy Yorkie. Like a little mini Yorkie where.

[Coop]

You should have done your research.

[Tyler]

That was the whole thing.

[Jared]

I bought it from a breeder that.

[Mitch]

Has this thing is a big Yorkie. Like a lap dog that's like, you're talking about. You want, like, a teacup?

[Coop]

You want, like, a little.

[Jared]

I got a teacup Yorkie? I didn't want that Yorkie, to this day is this big.

[Tyler]

Did you get this mad in front of her?

[Mitch]

Her.

[Tyler]

Him.

[Jared]

Oh, Frankie.

[Tyler]

Yeah. You ever hit him? No, I never feel like the anger that's going is.

[Jared]

No, no.

[Jack]

He kicked him.

[Jared]

That's nuts. I never would touch an animal in a harmful way, but maybe in another way, crazy way to work.

[Coop]

Should we. Should we pivot here?

[Tyler]

Yeah, pivot.

[Mitch]

I don't know. Are we. Are we all good?

[Jared]

Let's go back to bronze.

[Tyler]

Good. Name of this Pivot.

[Mitch]

Damn.

[Jack]

Gee.

[Coop]

What did you have Ryan bring us up?

[Mitch]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jack]

We could name this ridiculousness. All right, if someone wants to run down the. The background of the Josh pate debacle.

[Mitch]

I can hit it, because I feel like I was a part of the reason that it probably transpired. But Josh pay to commented on a bus with the boys tweet, and I obviously commented from the now inside of the bus Twitter, you should come on back of the bus, not busting with the boys, which is obviously the. The smartest financial play for Josh Payne anyways. But he looked at our Twitter, saw that we did not follow him, and I think his words were, I, like, admire loyalty. I value loyalty the most, which is very fair. We've since followed him and he. We made a mock up shirt of a paid state. If you don't follow, you're fired. Sent it to him. We said, would you come on the bus now if we got these? And he goes, if you get them made, we'll talk.

[Jared]

So.

[Tyler]

So time to talk. Josh.

[Coop]

Didn't he say he wanted to, like, he wanted to make one of us his, like, squire type deals?

[Mitch]

Yeah, I think Jared would be perfect for this role.

[Jared]

That and.

[Jack]

All right, Jared or ho. Come on, let's reveal it. I don't know what size I just.

[Mitch]

Gave you, but let me see one of those XLs.

[Tyler]

How'd she look?

[Coop]

Yeah, it says back to the bus.

[Jack]

We knew that.

[Tyler]

No, it's covered up.

[Jack]

We don't know what that says. Hey, toss me one large.

[Jared]

I got a large.

[Tyler]

Josh, you need an exhale.

[Coop]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Outside of being one of the greatest college football commentators, he also has got to be the most ripped dude. He is a unit. And now he has merch. We made merch before. He made merch for himself, I think.

[Coop]

Yeah. So, Josh, this is our formally or formal, like, making it up to you. We have our merch. We have our shirts. We have one waiting for you on the Inside the Bus podcast. So the ball is in your court.

[Jared]

Do we actually have one for him?

[Jack]

So funny that that was gonna be way bigger on the shirt.

[Mitch]

The, like, design itself or what?

[Jack]

Yeah, not the shirt that.

[Jared]

The shirt would be way bigger.

[Tyler]

Nah, it's fire, though.

[Mitch]

Yeah. Ball is in your core, Josh.

[Tyler]

You know this ball up top.

[Coop]

I would definitely. I would definitely, like. This is a shirt I would definitely wear.

[Mitch]

Yeah.

[Jack]

At the club, it was fire.

[Coop]

Oh, yeah. I'd wear this out.

[Mitch]

If you don't follow, you're fired.

[Coop]

I don't wear one's gonna be like, oh, what's back?

[Tyler]

We wear them on Saturday.

[Mitch]

Do you think you like them?

[Jack]

Are we allowed to leave this up or the boys gonna come out after us?

[Coop]

No, this is.

[Jared]

This is come and take.

[Coop]

There's been seven shirts made, so we're not selling these guys. These are limited edition, you guys.

[Jack]

You know, they're watching.

[Coop]

If you guys try and sue us over some personal shirts, what are we.

[Jared]

Doing wearing them to court? Yeah.

[Jack]

Let'S go.

[Tyler]

Another sports media personality. I feel like the back of or the inside the bus is kind of just not creating enemies. But we've been beefing. Mitch, you and Kirk. Ben. Kirk. He responded in a way I wasn't really.

[Jack]

I didn't expect it, but he was.

[Coop]

Coming even in my My. The clip that I posted, I was like, I would love to play him. He does exploit some games, things in the game that you can't really, like, beat. But he is the goat in my opinion of, like, at college football. But I said, I would love to play him. I would love to, like, learn from the best. Kind of like pumping his tires but also saying, I want to play him. And then I tweeted out. He quote, tweets. It goes, I will bend you over and bell to ask you. And then, then he responded. Then he quickly responded and he responded right under. That was like, respectfully, out of, like, in all seriousness and respectfulness, I would like, let's do it. That'd be awesome. Then he DM me and was like.

[Mitch]

No, seriously, I'm gonna whoop your ass.

[Coop]

Like, love what you guys are doing. Like, that'd be awesome if we could figure something out. So I think it would, like. I think it'd be dope to have either, like, whatever. We get the streaming room set up. Like, he's in his streaming thing, I'm in our streaming thing and we play each other. Or if you were to come up, you want to come on the inside the bus pod, maybe do like a stream with Will and Taylor.

[Mitch]

Bring us some more footballs, please.

[Coop]

Yeah, yeah, I have those whistlers too. I have been meaning to shout out the dime lab.

[Tyler]

That's a shout out.

[Coop]

They're footballs. I use them in a flag game. And I miked myself up and then I real. I went and watched the film, realized I didn't talk at all the entire time. Like, trying to hype up the balls, but they are. If you want some backyard footballs to just play around and mess around with your buddies, those are the balls to go get because they just got some grip to them. You can. I feel like you can just throw them a mile.

[Jack]

Something funny?

[Coop]

Yeah. What's funny over there, Matt?

[Tyler]

Real spiel.

[Mitch]

Real spiel.

[Jack]

Real spiel.

[Jared]

But yeah, the Johns are good.

[Mitch]

And we're also looking for sponsors and we might take payment in the form of footballs for just a start.

[Coop]

That would be my ideal sponsor.

[Mitch]

We'll do it for. Yeah.

[Coop]

But yeah, so I might be playing Kurt Banker and get my ass handed to me.

[Tyler]

Maybe not, though. Maybe that's why we play the game.

[Jack]

Should we set up another in if Mitch gets like, oh, yeah, absolutely. Blown out?

[Coop]

I think if I get 21, that's not fair because he, like, the game.

[Mitch]

Doesn'T end, you're saying? Yeah, yeah. I think that's fine. But if you.

[Coop]

Yeah, I guess the spread.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jack]

What's your spread be. What do you want?

[Coop]

I haven't played the game yet. I'm actually. I downloaded it Tuesday night. Or no, Monday night.

[Tyler]

Step.

[Coop]

No, I downloaded Monday night. I was at Brooks last night because we were looking at our first apartment.

[Tyler]

And then knowing that the game had just come out.

[Coop]

Yeah. We already had this schedule. But tonight I'm. I'm gaming the entire time, so I'm going to get in the way.

[Jack]

You know why he can't come to brunch?

[Tyler]

Oh, my God. Keep forgetting. There's like four reasons.

[Jack]

Now the game.

[Mitch]

Well, and. And I asked Mitch today because, you know, Mitch is a flag football connoisseur. He loves getting out on that gridiron. He's all. And he does softball. I've. Mitch knows I'm in a pretty competitive kickball league. I think y' all do as well. Been doing it for a while. Today I asked Midge, hey, man, I've never asked him before. I go, we could really use a sub tonight. We're one guy short and he knows one of the guys on my team. He goes, let me get back to you. So, Mitch, is it a yes or no?

[Coop]

Probably not.

[Tyler]

What? Why?

[Jared]

I was anti climbing.

[Coop]

I've been.

[Mitch]

Yeah, you could have at least kind of drawn that.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Coop]

No, I mean, you're good. I have played. I. Jack has played on my fly.

[Mitch]

Football team one time and what did I do?

[Coop]

He. Jack went off. I'm. Let me. Let me finish. Let me finish. So I do owe you one time. A sub. I just don't think it's tonight because I got it. I won't really, really want to play.

[Jared]

The game I'm feeling.

[Mitch]

And that. That's okay as long as you're. I want you to be tweeting though.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

At 8:15 when the game would normally be. I hope at least between that hour that you're going to be playing and I would like a tweet out of me playing.

[Coop]

Yeah, I. Yeah, I think I can make that.

[Jack]

Set an alarm.

[Jared]

Set an alarm.

[Coop]

I'm going to try and set an alarm. I think I'm going to do like. Have you seen. Have you guys seen those clips where it's like, first play of the new game and it's just something stupid. I'm going to wait until I have a sick play and then be like, first play of the game.

[Jack]

Well, thanks for just.

[Jared]

That's the thing.

[Coop]

I'm. I'm honest to a fault.

[Tyler]

It did Happen earlier today in the meeting.

[Jack]

True.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Coop]

I mean that. That's just Will taking any time he can to like big dog me. I should have phrased it at a better. In a better way.

[Jared]

You want to give context for our audience.

[Coop]

Yeah. So Christmas. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Chris, what were we doing today?

[Jared]

We're all.

[Coop]

We had a locker room meeting today. Locker room this year. Bigger, better. It's going to be unreal. Especially with the guys we have coming on.

[Mitch]

Locker room's a gambling show.

[Coop]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

If you're new to the program.

[Coop]

All right.

[Jared]

It's bus with the boys inside the bus fan. You don't watch Bus.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Coop]

But last Christmas I was one of. I took over the guy, the person of like getting the stats and like news and stuff for like Will and Taylor and Delaney like sound smart on the show to like, so they know what they were talking about and go.

[Tyler]

The delivery swing and go down swing.

[Coop]

And it was. We were recording the next day or the next week or whatever Christmas. And I, he. I didn't get their information for the games until super late at night. And I was back home. So I'm an hour behind. Even more so. It's like 12pm and they just got me their games. And Will did say like, hey, like, we know this is like late. It is like holiday, whatever. Like, you don't have to go in depth. But like me, like, I got it.

[Tyler]

I'm sure you do the job, you're gonna do it well.

[Coop]

100%. Exactly. So I was like, I. I sent back like this long ass message, was like, listen, guys, like, I need to get your information sooner if I want to like give you the best information possible. Will respond. I was like, shut. Basically shut the fuck up. We told you you don't have to go that in depth. And like, just do it. And then I was texting Jared on the side. I was like, this dude. Like, I was so pissed.

[Jared]

I think you and Will both were texting me on the side. Yeah, I think Will's like, what the fuck is Mitch talking about?

[Tyler]

Great communication here.

[Coop]

Yeah. That was like. I was at home, Brooke was home with me. And I was like, I was just like boiling.

[Tyler]

I'm out of here. I'm not coming back to Nashville.

[Coop]

I'm gonna give these guys the I. And then in my head I'm like, wrong stats. No, in my head I'm like, I'm gonna give him the best stats I can. Just it in and be like, you still doesn't matter.

[Mitch]

But then we asked for not.

[Coop]

Yeah. And then they didn't say anything about it. And I come back from the holidays, he's like, what the was that about? I was like, I was mad. Like I. And he's like, well, this is. I'm like, I just got big dogged.

[Jared]

You want me to read it? I found it.

[Coop]

What? Read what?

[Jared]

Conversation?

[Mitch]

Yeah, he started it with going forward.

[Jared]

Period.

[Coop]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

The.

[Coop]

Were you thinking I was mad? I was also like sick at the time too.

[Jack]

Like he was hungover from caroling.

[Jared]

He said, yeah, Mitch was in the corner going forward. We cannot be choosing games this late. I understand this week is different because of holidays, but getting all this information at 10:15 at night does not give me a whole lot of time to get the information you guys need and want. Then use a Taylor, you haven't even sent your NFL picture yet or either. And then that, that, that's not this. That's not it. And then Will replies to it and just says no. And then he. Then Will sends a screenshot of the conversation earlier that day where Mitch was like, I need Yalls picks. Like it's not gonna be as in depth because this week like yada yada. And then Will said, I'll get them to you tonight after the games. No doubt. Information is going to be hard tonight. And then I guess everyone was on the side after a couple. Yeah, this is.

[Coop]

Jerry was trying to play mediator and like, yeah, help me out. But also like play both sides. I guess he should. But I was just like, I was. I was hungover from caroling. I was sick. It was late at night, I was tired, I wanted to go to bed and I just. I mean that's what it is.

[Jared]

How dramatic this group chat is on December 27th. I don't know what happened, but Will left the conversation. It's not you.

[Coop]

I think that was it.

[Jared]

No, no, this is with. I'm not.

[Mitch]

Taylor's follow up message says, God damn it, Delaney.

[Jared]

We were trying to decide on like a day to film or something. And like Will's like, I want this day. Taylor's I want this day. And we're like, Delaney, can you make a decision? He said, I'm with whatever my guys. And then Will just leaves the conversation.

[Mitch]

I think people rage, people raging, leaving.

[Jack]

Group chat is like the funniest thing ever.

[Coop]

Like that was. And that's like, that group chat is.

[Jared]

So funny how like heated it gets for.

[Mitch]

No.

[Coop]

It's like peak locker room. You're in the dog days of the season. It's like everyone's bitching each other everyone's just annoyed with each other. Everyone's tired. Everyone, like. And it's like, you just kind of. All right, guys, let's just get through it.

[Tyler]

Was that the only time that it really happened? Like, bad last year for the walker?

[Jared]

Yeah. Like an argument or the picks coming in?

[Tyler]

No, just I think.

[Coop]

I honestly think after I kind of going forward and like spazzed a little bit. I would like to think that it helped out a little bit, but I mean, I don't know. Jared was doing the stats and stuff before I did it before.

[Jared]

Like, his complaint was very valid and like, the timing was like bad. I. I guess, like, I mean, like.

[Coop]

I should have picked a different weekend.

[Jack]

You can also like read text tones way differently forward.

[Coop]

Oh, yeah. And I like, I. I knew what I was doing.

[Jack]

Yeah, they did too.

[Tyler]

There's zero regrets about that message.

[Jared]

Dude. When I saw.

[Coop]

No, like in the moment, I was like.

[Jack]

Relived it earlier today.

[Coop]

Yeah, in the moment.

[Mitch]

Today.

[Coop]

Yeah. All of this to say that Will told me to. Like, I was like. We were going over wins and losses and I was like, a loss is kind of like, you know, remember that one time when you guys didn't give me that information in time? And he's like, what are you talking about? That happened once. And I was like, yeah, but you know, he's like, no, that's not.

[Tyler]

He hit the chair rotation on you.

[Jack]

Yeah, yeah, he did.

[Coop]

He's like, that's not it. That's. That's like. That's a one single incident. That's not something that happened all the time. And I'm like, it still wouldn't be nice to get your information earlier. He's like, no, that doesn't.

[Mitch]

He did.

[Jack]

He did triple down on it.

[Tyler]

He's like, yeah, but seriously, it sounds like it was a problem.

[Jared]

It was a problem. Always.

[Jack]

Yeah, we know.

[Tyler]

Hopefully you're listening to this, Will.

[Coop]

Probably.

[Jared]

Yeah, I mean I said in the meeting it was.

[Jack]

There's another one for me problem.

[Tyler]

I said it in the media, man. He could talk to me if he wants to.

[Coop]

But. Yeah, so that's basically that.

[Jared]

That was so funny.

[Coop]

Just a day in the life of the locker room in the thick of it.

[Jared]

Dude, that group chat literally was never not dramatic. Like everyone's just heated with each other for no reason.

[Tyler]

What happens when you lose a lot of bets?

[Jared]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tyler]

You gotta up the record.

[Coop]

I feel like we gotta come football season we need to have like a bit like the inside the bus parlay or something on this kind of like, yeah, to, like, rival theirs. And, like, if. Say, like, if. They're probably not going to be watching this, but, like, if our record goes better than theirs, like, we should.

[Jared]

We should prank.

[Coop]

We should be like, oh, who should really be on the locker room punishment again?

[Mitch]

Damn. Mitch is coming for blood.

[Tyler]

My record's better. I get your seat next year, Will.

[Jared]

Yeah, that'd be fun, right?

[Coop]

You can switch the cameras.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I love it.

[Jack]

Someone clip this out and just send it to Will.

[Coop]

So I'm sure this will be clipped out. Will be added. And come Friday, I'll be like, Mitch will be like, mitch, what the are you talking about? And I'm just gonna tuck my tail in between my legs and not know what's gonna happen.

[Tyler]

Nah, you'll stand on business.

[Jack]

Yeah, you got it, dude.

[Jared]

You do stand on business. We're teammates.

[Tyler]

Do I? Yeah, you did today.

[Jared]

This is 6V1 to a fault.

[Coop]

Yeah, but, like, I don't know. I mean, like, I'm the one saying all the things I don't know if, like, you guys are like, hey, I didn't say it.

[Jared]

Like you said on business to yourself that day. Like, whenever. Like, no one noticed you weren't feeling right. Yeah. You say, no, I'm be better tomorrow. Like, that's standing on business.

[Mitch]

Last two minutes to a fault.

[Coop]

Yeah. No, that's what I mean. I'm honest to a fault. I mean, I feel like that it's a good thing.

[Tyler]

It's better than the opposite.

[Coop]

Yeah. Well said. Well said.

[Jared]

What's the time on the soundboard?

[Mitch]

Damn.

[Jared]

Hey, did y'.

[Tyler]

All.

[Jared]

Oh, y' all didn't watch last week? But we'd been talking for so long, like, it felt like we had told, like, 10 stories. Like, felt so long. We're like, hey, man, how long we've been going? He's like, 15. Because he, like, read the thing wrong.

[Tyler]

We were like, 15. We actually suck at this.

[Coop]

He's like, all right. We actually been going for, like, 40 minutes. Yeah.

[Tyler]

We were like.

[Jack]

Which still felt short.

[Jared]

Teen.

[Coop]

Yeah. Even still, we're like, damn. Maybe.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Mitch]

I thought we went well over an hour.

[Tyler]

We hit the breaking news on Coop and his love life last week.

[Coop]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Now we all get to meet her this weekend.

[Mitch]

Yeah, she's coming.

[Jared]

She's popping out.

[Jack]

She's excited.

[Mitch]

What's your name?

[Tyler]

Let's go.

[Mitch]

[Jack]

She's probably watching this right now. Or listening.

Type.

[Jack]

All right, let's go.

[Tyler]

I think that's good, right?

[Coop]

Yes, sir.

[Tyler]

Josh Fate. We'll see you on here.

[Jack]

See you at the place. We do need to get Delaney.

[Tyler]

Oh yeah.

[Mitch]

Make it happen.

[Coop]

Whenever Blossom saying he wants to come on Delaney. Like Sherm texted Delaney a video of us dancing to Busin before we recorded and he responded in 30 seconds.

[Jared]

So like Delaney, like we should like not ask about the time once. We should just see how long we can go with Delaney. Oh yeah, like we should see if it could like literally be like four hours because he might like just can.

[Jack]

We start recording the morning then?

[Jared]

Dude, we should clear out our day when Delaney's on here because we should not stop him from talking.

[Tyler]

We got to drop a 12 hour pod. 12 hour shut up to Sleep Stream.

[Jared]

It's just Delaney alone sitting here just telling stories.

[Tyler]

Delaney will be right back. All right. Subscribe to Inside the Bus. Leave a comment Anything else?
