Ferda
Thank you, guys. I. I'm glad to be back.
Coop
I.
Sherm
Busy boy.
Jared
It's raining.
Ferda
Busy boy. And honestly, it's been like a really fun week. Jill and I had like our first dinner date last night. I had friends over and Scarlett killed bedtime and then we like had a slow bedtime Morning. This morning. Like, made breakfast. It's been kind of lit.
Jared
Well, brecky friends over, but none of us there, huh?
Sherm
Yeah, because we're hanging out with Sherm all night tonight.
Ferda
All night tonight. And Jill's 30th last night.
Jared
Dude, I'm gonna get so hammered at her birthday party last night. I'm gonna get hammered at Jill's birthday party.
Chop Malone
Good.
Ferda
That's. That's the.
Jared
Sherm's got an open bar at the house. I can walk there.
Sherm
Sherman, you getting banged up?
Jared
I'm pre gaming Jill's party.
Sherm
You're gonna get banged up?
Ferda
Yeah, it depends on how much of baby duty I'll be on. But if I start. Well, it's her birthday.
Jared
I'm gonna scare the out of Scarlett all night.
Ferda
But I'll get. I'm getting a little bang now.
Sherm
Yeah.
Jared
Nightmare, nightmare, nightmare. You hear what I said? So I'm gonna scare the out of Scarlett. I'm gonna get way too drunk.
Ferda
Will you tell them the story of when you met my dogs for the first time?
Jared
Jared's.
Sherm
Jared's gonna be in front of me.
Jared
Can we find that video? I've still never seen the video. Like, I. I mog the hell out of the Scarlett the first time I met her.
Sherm
Jared, you're 24 years old. That baby is.
Jared
I'm not 24. I'm 25.
Sherm
25 years old now, y'.
Chop Malone
All.
Sherm
You're gonna mog a baby.
Jared
I fortnite. Emote it all over Scarlet. I don't like the way that sounded. I don't like the way that sounded.
Ferda
Tell them what you did when you first met my dog. And we all know dogs aren't safe around Jared.
Sherm
For real.
JP
Check out episode two.
Jared
Wait, because I gave away that dog?
Sherm
Gave away is a loose term, but yeah.
Jared
Well, I mean, then check out episode seven, where Jared argues. Dogs in the bed.
Sherm
You don't have to put that thing in your mouth, brother.
Jared
Like this.
Ferda
I was talking more about when you met Goose for the first time, and you were going in his face and you started freaking out.
Jared
It's my favorite thing to do with dogs.
Ferda
He looks at me and goes, hey, he's got a hyper.
Jared
Yeah, I don't know why. It's my favorite thing to do with dogs. Just like. And they all, like. They match the energy. Like, you sure humans don't do that? Dogs do that. Like, Maple. Every morning when I wake up, I just turn around, I grab her face. I'm just like. And then she goes all like. She runs all around the bed.
Chop Malone
She trying to run away. She has nowhere to go.
Jared
No, she loves it, dude. Dogs love when you go crazy. They're like, why are you acting like that? I go crazy at least once a day with the dogs.
Ferda
I just love with the yo shirt. He's got a hyper.
Jared
You got. You gotta match your dogs. Like, you gotta show your dogs that you have Zoomies once a day.
Ferda
That's true.
Jared
That's kind of like my attitude on it. I get real serious. That's kind of my mantra on Zoomies.
Ferda
When I see it, like, I try to embrace.
Sherm
Oh, yeah.
Jared
Just like it's kind of that little.
Sherm
Pat on the ass.
Jared
Oh, yeah.
Mitch
Yeah.
Jared
When they're.
Ferda
Yeah, I swear.
Sherm
Keep going, keep going.
Jared
That's literally so true.
Ferda
I will start cheering on Wrigley in the front yard. I start doing a high pitched voice.
Ad Read 1
Go, Wrigley, go.
Jack
Go, Wrigley, go.
Ferda
And it literally juices them up.
Sherm
He starts going harder, speeds up.
Jared
I basically just do that. But I just do Zoomies. Like I start the Zoomies and then she's like, oh, we're doing it. And then she just goes nuts.
Ferda
We'll do it to Scarlet.
Jared
You shouldn't do it. I guess with your. Not dogs that aren't yours. I guess that is kind of disrespectful.
Ferda
No, I didn't find it disrespectful. I found it funny.
Jared
Maybe I shouldn't do it too. Your friend's newborn baby.
Sherm
Probably not.
Ferda
You do have my permission to do that to scarlet on Jill's 30th birthday.
Sherm
Guys, that is rain. If you were hearing that. The skies are opening up.
JP
Never hear of rain.
Jared
How does it sound in the mic?
Sherm
Probably pretty shitty.
Jared
You can. You can hear it.
Sherm
You can absolutely hear it. We're like five feet away from it.
JP
That's good. It sounds like it's just a little pass by.
Ferda
I feel like it's rained half the.
Sherm
Times we've done this.
Jared
I really feel like I don't remember any times it's ever rained.
Coop
I don't know, Jim.
Jared
I feel like it rains a lot.
Ferda
I forgot to put my grill cover on. I'm pissed.
Jared
I have my grill cover on. It's getting wet. Yeah, let's dive into that.
Sherm
We want to dive into that or we want to dive into.
JP
Yeah, well, speaking of rain, last night did not rain. Mitch, you had a flag football game, correct?
Sherm
I had a flag football game. We first one of the season and we were. We were running low on guys and everybody here knows that Matt has been on his. I don't know, I don't want to say.
Jared
That's the producer, by the way.
Sherm
Matt. Yeah, Matt, our producer, Chop Malone, as we call him, or Ferda. But Matt has been wanting to play and show off his athleticism for a very long time. Now on Monday, was it Tuesday that I made you. We didn't make you try out, but you did a little Tuesday. We ran some ransom routes in the, in the street. And so we were short. We were short a couple guys and.
JP
Matt, why don't you come sit down. I'll hit the switcher while you try and defend yourself.
Jared
Class act.
Ferda
But round of applause, Round of applause.
Coop
That's crazy.
Mitch
I've been on here since the intern.
Sherm
Welcome.
Jared
Fresh haircut too.
Sherm
Matt Malone.
Coop
Appreciate it.
Sherm
Oh, boy.
Jared
Here we go.
Sherm
Foul. So we get home. I get home last night. Foul is like, are we going to have enough for tonight? I'm like, we have five. He's like, we. We definitely need one more. And I was like, all right, I know a guy. And foul's like, all right, call him. So I literally start dialing the phone and I said, watch this.
Mitch
I think it was one ring.
Sherm
Yeah, it was like one or two rings. Matt, answer. He's like, what's up, dude? I can already tell he's at the gym. Like, your number has been called. And he's like, dude, are you serious? Let's go.
Mitch
Off the squat.
Sherm
Yeah, he ended. He ended up showing up and.
Chop Malone
He.
Sherm
I like. Matt is like, can hold his own. Not gonna say he made anything crazy. Did anything crazy like, oh, like, like not nothing. Like when Jack. Nothing like when Jack showed up and just like one handed snag and like, oh, yeah, we got a guy. But Matt, Matt showed up and did his thing.
Coop
Serviceable.
Mitch
Two drops though, that I was. I still, I like, I couldn't sleep last night after that. Like that first drop for the extra point.
Sherm
You had a couple and like that last.
Mitch
Well, that last one was just like you yucked it up.
Sherm
I mean, the last. Yeah, like the last couple drives. I was trying to force feature and it just.
Mitch
It's not really my game, I don't think. I think I'm not really a white out anymore. But that first. Yeah, that extra point. I'm glad it didn't hurt us in the end. Yeah, I mean, dubbed him. I'm not gonna lie. He had a crazy performance. He went. He went crazy.
Jared
It's good too. Side note that you were free. Like you had no plans last night, right?
Mitch
I never have plans?
Sherm
No.
Jared
Like, there was no prior plans.
Mitch
No, I was.
Jared
No canceled plans.
Mitch
Yeah, I got. I got stood up last night.
Sherm
It stood up, bro.
Mitch
Decided I didn't actually get. I didn't. I didn't get stood up. I didn't get set up.
Chop Malone
We'll. We'll.
Mitch
We're linking up next week, but there you go.
JP
Let's go.
Jared
He had a date planned, but Mitch.
Mitch
Made my day because I was, like, pretty bummed out about it.
Sherm
As I'm leaving the shop, he's like, hey, I'm mad. If you need somebody, I'm mad. Like, all right, Matt.
Mitch
So he calls me. I'm at the squad rack. You in? Felt like a. Like a draft pick. Like, it was. I thought it was like, Pete Carroll calling me. I'm DK Metcalf. He was like, you ready to go? I'm like, yeah. Yeah. And I was pumped. But, yeah, my performance was just. I mean, I did. Honestly, I think I've just. I play better defense.
Sherm
I mean, defense isn't that hard.
Mitch
I had a sick pass deflection. I couldn't. Dude, there's no way I could have picked that. That was like. I was at a dive.
Sherm
If you would have had, like. I don't want to say football IQ because that, like, if you got your head around quicker and, like, knew he.
Mitch
Was coming to you, maybe. Maybe that's. First game.
Sherm
So you still did make a playoff.
Mitch
Yeah, first game jitters. I mean, Calvin Ridley had two drops against the Broncos, and. And I was watching literally football highlights last night after it, just trying to. Trying to get better, and so.
Sherm
No, it was fun, though.
Mitch
I had a blast. Someone asked us on hot mic.
Chop Malone
Is.
Coop
Is Matt comparing himself to NFL star Calvin Ridley?
Jared
Is Matt comparing himself to NFL star Calvin Ridley?
Mitch
No, I'm not comparing.
Sherm
That's what you just said.
Jack
Honestly.
Coop
Yeah.
Mitch
You know what? I am comparing. I'm standing. I'm standing ten toes on it. I'm comparing. I. But not like, I'm Calvin Ridley, but he had two drops on his debut, and I'm ready. Talking about my shitty football performance yesterday.
Ferda
Are you.
Chop Malone
Are you in here full time now, or are you just spotlighted? Okay, this is like a zoom in.
Ferda
An inside the bus spotlight.
Chop Malone
Holy.
Jared
No, let's not get that.
Mitch
But I like the guys. I like the team. You guys have a good squad.
Sherm
Yeah. And it sucks, dude. Like, this. This league two years ago was super competitive, and then the last two seasons that we played in this league, it's just not.
Mitch
She's not what it Was we are looking for sure.
Sherm
Like, they're like. They don't like. So we got there early. The first game, is it like where they were playing at 7:30? They had a double header there. The team that they played was bad and they like dog walk them and then we dog walk the team like that won the game before.
Jared
Yeah.
Sherm
It's like the. The competitiveness isn't there, so it's not as like, fun and like, serious in that way. But then it also makes it more fun because you're just messing around.
Mitch
I mean, dude, you were balling out. I'm not gonna lie. Like, Mitch had like the. That first hut. You had like low key masa, dude. And I was sitting there, like, sitting.
Sherm
There like, I'm so pissed Brooke didn't have the camera rolling for it.
Mitch
She wasn't. She wasn't recording.
Chop Malone
We need someone to go film Mitch's flag games. Like, for real.
Ferda
100.
Chop Malone
This is not a shot at Brooke at all. But we have heard many times she.
Mitch
Was trying to help her.
Chop Malone
I like to imagine she should just watch.
Sherm
No.
Chop Malone
And like, she doesn't have to man the camera.
Sherm
And I'm not like, I don't ever like, hey, listen, I want, like, if you're gonna come, I don't want you to feel like you're working.
Chop Malone
Right.
Sherm
Because there was another.
Chop Malone
That's why we need to hire somebody.
Jared
I like to imagine that y' all have like a perfect relationship and this is the only thing you'll argue about.
Sherm
No, no.
Jared
Y' all getting huge.
Sherm
Literally. I did do that. I like, did you get that one? She's like. She had a fat smile on her face. I'm like, you didn't get it, did you, dude?
Jared
Did you? I got the end of it, babe. I'll talk later.
Mitch
They were talking a little. They were talking a little like, oh, did you get that on camera? I'm like, bro, you just got mossed. And your chop, like, they were.
Jared
And your chop.
Mitch
That team was so chopped. And yeah, bro, that.
Chop Malone
But did you get a haircut?
Mitch
I did. And then, dude, I should have heard.
Sherm
The excuses he was making because he was dropping, bro.
Mitch
My hair was in my eyes. Every time I was running.
Sherm
He had to put on foul's hat.
Mitch
And guess what? I had to catch that drive. I'm telling you, dude, like, I think.
Ferda
Everything'S fakes now that the hair has been cut. I did want to highlight that.
Chop Malone
How's his route running? Did you cover that?
Jared
No.
Sherm
I told him, hey, Matt, run, dude. But I run straight and he's just going across the field because I. Dude, I don't.
Mitch
Like, they were playing going against the.
Chop Malone
Grain, but I'm like, you know, if.
Sherm
You run straight, it's a one on one ball, and I'm just gonna throw it up like, I was trying to get you the ball.
Mitch
No, I know, I know. I just don't think that's my game, dude. Like, I think I'm just like, a little.
Chop Malone
You're a little slot guy.
Jared
Let him do his thing.
Sherm
I will say Matt was very good at rushing the quarterback. Like, not that. Not that he got any sacks, but, like, he got the guy platform and anything.
Mitch
I thought I was playing better.
Chop Malone
Like, damn, we got to get some film.
Mitch
I was locking that dude down with the ass frat shirt he had on.
Coop
The Lipscomb kid?
Mitch
Yeah.
Sherm
He comes up to me, this dude was wearing a fraternity shirt on. He's like, hey, this is so and so frat.
Coop
This.
Sherm
This is war. This is.
Coop
Although this.
Mitch
This kid I know started his own. This. This kid who played hockey. Actually, I'm not going to.
Coop
Yeah.
Mitch
All right. I think my time's done on the list.
Ferda
The good news is he did get a haircut. So no more drops.
Mitch
No more drops.
Chop Malone
And you got brick hands.
Mitch
I had a blast. It was so fun.
Sherm
No, like, and then, like, as much as I was, like, giving you a hard time out there and, like, just.
Mitch
I'm coachable.
Sherm
No, no, I'm like, I'm happy you were able to come out. Like, it was fun.
Mitch
Are you gonna do I get another.
Sherm
Call back eventually if we need somebody? Absolutely.
Mitch
Yeah. That's all I needed. That's all I needed. Maybe.
Sherm
Maybe I'm not. We might need to get Ryan out for a game and then see who does better.
Mitch
Oh, I will play.
Chop Malone
I will live tryouts.
Jared
You running from the grind?
Mitch
No, I'm not ready for the grind building. Yeah. All right, how about me and Ryan, like. No, no, let Ryan go out there. Let Ryan go out there. But I'm telling you, I'm better than Ryan, and Ryan's my boy.
Jared
Damn. You hear that, Ryan?
Sherm
Yeah, you heard that first.
Ferda
Hey, we need to have a combine.
Mitch
Yeah, like something. That's what I was really about to say. Like something.
Sherm
Listen, I've been trying to do a bus and combine since I got here.
Chop Malone
Mitch just wants to hold that most athletic.
Ferda
Fun to do an entire office one. But it would be fun to do a Ferda versus Nolan Ryan, because, you.
Sherm
Know, Matt would be, like, trying most. Just like I would be trying to the most out of us.
Mitch
Yeah, I will take that 200. I'm not gonna let. Again. Ryan is my guy, but I'm not letting him out athletic me at all.
Jack
Ever.
Chop Malone
I don't know, dude.
Sherm
He's got a silky arm.
Chop Malone
He's got a silky jumper, too.
Mitch
Five reps on the bench.
Jared
Oh, athlete.
Ferda
How many did. How many.
Mitch
Okay, I'm not gonna say, but how.
Sherm
Many did you get?
Mitch
25.
Sherm
How many did Ryan get?
Mitch
Like, I'm not gonna say.
Sherm
I think. I don't think I got that many.
Mitch
I'm telling you, like, if we're gonna.
Jared
Like, I got one.
Mitch
Let him sub. Let him play.
Jared
Pulled a hand.
Mitch
That's my boy. He'll. He'll probably do well, but I'll do better.
Sherm
Okay, so.
Mitch
All right. But I did have fun.
Sherm
No, And I.
Jared
We.
Mitch
It was a blast.
Sherm
We did have fun.
Mitch
That was a blast. But yeah. Did you guys go out without me last night?
Sherm
No, it was 9:30.
Mitch
Because I heard a little rumbling about Centennial. I was like, oh, like, is Michigan.
Sherm
No, you guys, we went. We went home, showered, and went to bed.
Mitch
I was like.
Jared
I was thinking, like, this isn't intramurals.
Sherm
I had to get up and get like, my U haul because your boy's moving again.
Mitch
He's moving.
Ferda
Come on. Hey, also, can I safely say, if you guys were going out, he would a million percent get the invite.
Mitch
Yeah, dude, I was making sure because, like, that's.
Jared
He didn't throw that.
Chop Malone
That's where all this energy is coming from.
Mitch
I'm saying that's where.
Jared
At the very end, just. And y' all don't go out without me.
Mitch
That's why I would have stepped up for sure. Like, you would have been impressed on that point. I thought I'd be like, okay, like, I didn't have a bunch of catches.
Coop
But I'll get Mitch a couple beers. They'll be happy.
Sherm
We did.
Mitch
We.
Sherm
I promise you this. We did not go out. So don't worry. You didn't miss anything.
Mitch
I was like, dude, I had two drops. Like, you think they in the car? Like, listen to drink.
Sherm
If I was cramping in the car, we had to go home.
Jared
God, dude, you're just.
Mitch
Dude, the team. The team is quick. Who's the guy? That's.
Jared
I feel like we've exhausted this topic.
Mitch
I gotta take a piss.
Jared
I'll be right back.
Mitch
Quick.
Coop
It's good.
Mitch
That guy's quick. No, they have a good squad.
Chop Malone
See you later. This boy, this story. It's pretty boring.
Mitch
I don't have any way to talk.
Ferda
Hey, what are those?
Mitch
Weekends? Plans.
Ferda
What are the plans?
Sherm
Moving.
Ferda
Yeah. Where are we going? Out.
Jared
You want to come to a distillery with me?
Mitch
I'll be in Knoxville.
Jared
Then why the hell do you ask?
Mitch
I was just asking.
Coop
What do you do?
Ferda
Not to kick it back to Jill's 30th, but I did just want to put it on Ferdis radar.
Chop Malone
Did you forget that half of us will be gone?
Ferda
No.
Chop Malone
Okay. When you sent that, I was like, oh, no. Did he forget that we're gone?
Ferda
No, not at all. It. And it's like, it's 100. A open invite thing to where? If y' all have friends in town, hit people up.
Chop Malone
Like, I might just hit my group text. Like, hey, guys, there's a party at this house on Saturday.
Ferda
I'm serious. We don't know that.
Sherm
That sounds so much better than going out anywhere else.
Ferda
But I was gonna say, how did he.
Chop Malone
How do you play?
Coop
He's even.
Chop Malone
Let's go. Been worse.
Sherm
You missed the flag recap.
Ferda
Look at him.
Mitch
We don't talk about it anymore.
Ferda
He dropped some passes because his hair was a little too long. Don't worry.
Chop Malone
Got a haircut.
Sherm
Yeah. We don't have to. We don't have to die back.
Jared
They had fun. That was the serviceable.
Coop
He got. He got another. He's getting another opportunity. That's.
Mitch
That's all I need. That's all I need. I bring my boys to you.
Ferda
100 can. And what I wanted to tell you is how many. Some of Jill's single nurse friends will be at the birthday party.
Chop Malone
That's like Matt's kryptonite.
Ferda
You said what?
Jared
Hey, dog.
Sherm
Or I live with Gunner, so.
Ferda
Yeah, I mean, if they haven't gotten the invite. They are invited.
Chop Malone
It's her 30th birthday.
Mitch
Are they, like. How old are they?
Ferda
Most of the people at. On her floor at the hospital are your age. Like, you're going 22 to, like, 26.
Mitch
I don't know. Some. Because a lot of my, like, girls.
Jared
I know most girls my age.
Chop Malone
All right, Matt.
Sherm
Matt, back to producer chair.
Mitch
Hold on. Tennessee has a great nursing program, so.
Coop
How old are they?
Jared
They're your age.
Ferda
I probably know you might. I probably.
Mitch
They're probably like, people I know, but.
Ferda
It'S sounding like you. You will come and.
Mitch
And I'll be there for sure.
Ferda
Well, that's promising. That's a good start.
Jared
They have a guest bedroom.
Mitch
Michigan margaritas and Nebraska Negronis. Is that what you said?
Jared
Yeah, Nebraska Negronis. Or Michigan mudslides.
Ferda
Yeah, Michigan mudslides. Margaritas or Moscow meals. But golly, another xlr if.
Coop
What's up?
Ferda
If Ferda got too banged up at Jill's birthday party and had to crash in our guest room. So that might be Jack.
Coop
You take the seatbelt in that night.
JP
Wait, wait.
Coop
This is just.
Jared
This is so awkward.
Ferda
You want to sit in between? I'm Jack. Watch your hand.
Jared
Viewers, we're going to have to take a second because it's going to get really awkward between the guys.
Coop
Yeah, you're good here, Jack. I'm going to sit on the couch. Jack, come here.
Chop Malone
So, hey, as our producer, can you get us more equipment?
Jared
Remember you asked me, like, a week ago, you said, I really hate working on the weekends. Can I just be a producer here? It looks so easy. Where's our mics? Second time you told me that today.
Sherm
Yeah.
Coop
Is there an XLR under the. Under there somewhere?
Sherm
All right. Yeah. We can't derail this whole pod.
Chop Malone
It already is.
JP
We'll be good.
Jared
Guys, guys, a little behind this.
Chop Malone
How long have we been going inside the bus?
Jared
The way. The way this podcast started is we took the equipment from every other show here, like in the off season, and we built this studio. And then now that football season just started back, we are just scraping by. Yeah, yeah.
JP
Here, Honestly, if you can't tell. Cut. Cut to Mitch and Garrett's camera.
Chop Malone
Let's go. Pov.
Sherm
Yeah. This is the squad.
Chop Malone
This is a POV shot we're rocking here. This is the pov.
JP
Honestly, I think we've done a decent job. All the artwork, too, is basically just repurposed stuff.
Chop Malone
The only thing, but it falls off the wall.
JP
Stuff that's been out on that we've gotten to. So again, I, I, if you, if you're tuning for the first time ever. Sherm, if you want to hold that jersey up.
Ferda

Sherm
Yeah, but it's gonna go in like people are gonna take it. Like hey, did you get a package for Mitch?
Jared
Yeah, and it'll just fall off the wall like everything else.
Chop Malone
Damn Jared.
Jared
Upset because I hung all that stupid up there.
Chop Malone
Dude, what do you love?
Sherm
Minecraft?
Coop
Blue Minecraft, MacKenzie Michigan Muds.
Chop Malone
In that order?
Jared
In that order. Love my dogs, love my Minecraft and I love my girl.
Chop Malone
What else do you need?
Jared
Nothing. I played Minecraft last night. You want to get into that?
JP
I think, I think on the on the topic of football, let's go over. Garrett and JP aren't aware but you guys can pull up your FanDuel sportsbook app. Shout out to FanDuel best gambling platform on the planet. We are building an inside the bus parlay so it will be seven legs. We could even let Chop get in on this one if he wants it.
Sherm
We got to do it. We got to do just us for now. Chop will get in there.
Chop Malone
We got a hit.
JP
Sorry Matt, I tried I was. I was willing to.
Coop
You can feed me your pick and I'll just.
JP
I'll. I'll throw your. All right. So, Mitch, I don't know if you want to go.
Chop Malone
You must have not played very well.
JP
Yeah, you must have not played very well. J.P. a little bit of time.
Sherm
Yeah. So my. My pick is going to be the Patriots plus one and a half against the Dolphins. The Dolphins are in shambles right now.
JP
No, just NFL. Just NFL.
Sherm
Yeah. The Dolphins are. Are dead. And they just. They just got a beat down from the Colts, so. And I think Braves and the Patriots. Patriots plus one and a half.
Chop Malone
That's what I.
Ferda
Earlier I was probably the Eagles over the Chiefs one and a half. And then we started talking about the injuries that Kansas City has been facing. We've been talking about how the Eagles could even blast the Chiefs in this game. A lot of people expect the Chiefs to lose. So that I changed my mind and we're going Chiefs plus one and a half because these are the types of games that the Chiefs have no business winning, and they still find a way.
Sherm
Bang.
Ferda
I am going. The Atlanta Falcons, I think, are better than people realize. They have a huge Sunday Night Football matchup this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota Vikings look shaky for like 3/4 against a Bears team that I don't.
Coop
Think is that good.
Ferda
I'm taking Falcons plus three and a half on Sunday Night Football to cover, and I think they're going to win, personally.
Chop Malone
So what's your pick?
Ferda
Love that.
Coop
My pick is the Falcons plus three and a half.
Chop Malone
Someone putting this together.
Sherm
Yeah.
Coop
Do we have to do spreads?
Sherm
No, if you want to do a player prompt, I. We could have done that.
Coop
But yeah, I mean, I got. I can pick a team or wait, y' all should say yours first. So I don't say anybody's.
JP
I mean, I was gonna go Lions, my six and a half. But then I think about Ben Johnson, and he was the old OC of the Lions. He's now the head coach of the Bears. But the way the Bears just absolutely the bed on. Was that Sunday night or Monday night? Yeah, Monday Night Football.
Sherm
The Lions loki the bed too, though.
JP
Yeah, I know.
Sherm
But if the packers are the only.
Jack
Thing that prevents you from taking the Lions minus six and a half is the Ben Johnson effect.
JP
And honestly, I just don't think the. The Bears are developed enough to hang with the line. So I'm gonna go with my gut and take lines minus six and a half.
Jared
So the Browns are going to be taking on the Ravens The Ravens are heavy. Eleven and a half favorites.
Coop
What I'm going to do is I'm.
Jared
Going to move that line down to seven and a half. Ravens by seven and a half. I'm not even going to read all this. I got Grok to give me all the reasons why seven and a half is a good pick. And I'm not gonna. I don't even understand.
Sherm
You want to do seven and a half or six and a half, right?
Mitch
Six and a half.
Coop
Six and a half.
Jared
Six and a half.
Chop Malone
There's just one. One. But yeah.
Mitch
Yeah.
Coop
What I meant to say.
Chop Malone
Grog. Typo. Gro. Typo Gro.
Jared
Sorry, guys.
Coop
I will do Bengals Jaguars. I'm gonna do Bengals money line because it's minus 180.
Sherm
I like that. I love that. I love that.
Coop
I'm gonna go Bengals money line. I couldn't love that more. That was gonna be one.
Chop Malone
All right, I'll. You guys help me with this one because I'm between the Cowboys covering four and a half against the Giants.
JP
Or.
Chop Malone
The Broncos covering against the Colts. Two and a half. I do too. Not that I'm like. Not that I am worried about the Broncos Colts game. I just.
Sherm
The Colts.
Coop
Molly walked the Dolphins. Dolphins.
Sherm
But is it because the Colts are good or because the Dolphins are bad?
Chop Malone
But I also think Denver's. Obviously Denver's defense is good.
Ferda
So also it probably doesn't matter for this week just because of the nature of football. But like the Cowboys own the Giants every single time they play.
Jared
Like.
Ferda
Like own them bad.
Chop Malone
So we want four and a half.
Sherm
Yeah, I think I like that. Or if you do want to do two and a half.
Chop Malone
No, let's do it.
Sherm
All right, so I have that all together. Patriots plus one and a half. Chiefs plus one and a half. Falcons plus three and a half. Detroit minus six and a half. Baltimore ultimate alternate spread minus six and a half. Cincy moneyline and Dallas minus four and a half plus 52.55. Put ten dollars on that to win. 525 dollars.
Coop
Let's go.
Chop Malone
Charge it to the game.
Sherm
That feels.
Chop Malone
Charge it to the game.
Sherm
Low key.
Chop Malone
Feels good at some. After this weekend. After this weekend we have. If Jack. If Stu yes hits we might have.
JP
To for a night which would have been last night. So it wouldn't matter. So I guess we can revisit it. But when we. We landed in New York last night late, he texted me and said, you.
Sherm
Want to give a background who Stu is?
JP
Yeah, she's my buddy from high school and last week on NFL, he went 10. 0 on picks. And he's not just like looking at Houston. He's looking at quarterback birth charts, like astrology. And I mean, he just said stats were never going to be enough. And, you know, you think it's kind of crazy and kooky until this goes 10. 0 in NFL. And he was also like, I want to say 8 and 1 in college football. So. And I, I tailed him on a bunch of stuff. So we're calling it the Chun Method. His name's Stuart Chun. Shout out, Stu. We might have time on the show as well if he keeps it up. But he said Commanders when I landed, which made me a little nervous, especially home game in Green Bay with all the hype around the packers. And I know the commanders have just as much juice. But then he texted me as I was landing back in Nashville, and he goes, I. I think I've switched. And he thinks it's going to be.
Jack
Well, let me read the exact text so I don't botch this because he's.
JP
A man of many words.
Ferda
Yeah.
Chop Malone
If you.
Mitch
Yeah.
JP
He said, there's a chance I may change my pick. Today looks like a better day for Jordan than Jaden. So I said, let me know. He said, will do. So at this point, looks like he's going to switch to packers, which in reality makes me more calm. But also it's like maybe, maybe it is the Commanders, but I don't know. I'm. I'm gonna tail him with whatever he does. As of right now, I. He's taking. I'm assuming he's gonna take the packers, but I will tweet out before the game whether the Chun Method is on packers or Commanders, just so it is out there in the ether so you guys can go back and look, see if he was right. But, man, I hope he continues to streak because I'm trying to get him on the locker room. I've already talked to Will. I'm like, if he goes, another historic weekend, like, you'll have to legitimately consider him coming on for like a five minute segment.
Chop Malone
Is Stu a generational talent?
JP
I mean, he's on the verge of being a generational gambler or just like a generational statistician mixed in with birth.
Jack
Charts and, yeah, horoscope. So maybe your crazy ex was right. I don't know.
JP
I don't know.
Sherm
I know.
Jack
I know Matt liked that one. But, yeah, sweet. So take our parlay. Let's move on from football.
JP
What else we want to talk about.
Chop Malone
You want to get into Minecraft.
Jared
Minecraft.
Coop
Thank you.
Jared
So.
Sherm
Thank you. Of course.
Jared
So my realm. No, I mean, not gonna. Unless you want me to break down the construction I've been doing on the world.
Ferda
I would love to hear about it, honestly.
Coop
Do you have a time limit on how long you play?
Jared
No.
Coop
Just because of.
Jared
Oh, the back.
Chop Malone
Yeah.
Jared
Minecraft's the one game that all limits are off.
Coop
Yeah.
Jared
PUBG said we got to get off by 12. This game you gotta get Minecraft is like therapeutic for the brain is calming. It is alone.
Coop
You just building stuff, you're mining stuff. And if you're like locked in.
Jared
Me and my buddy Samuel. Shout out Samuel Sheffield. We've been working on a subway system on this world for the last three years. And we just. We just had like a like opening day for that.
Coop
The subway open to the public.
Chop Malone
Ribbon cutting.
Jared
Ribbon cutting just happened.
Chop Malone
Let's go.
Jared
We now have a subway system that goes from the main house to the main town.
Chop Malone
This is like Elon's tunnel. He wants to build board company.
Jared
It's like a 45 second long ride, which is very long across the street. That would be a do. What took you three years? Legitimately? Yeah.
Sherm
That's insane.
Jared
Since COVID we pay monthly to have.
Chop Malone
What's the name of your world?
Jared
I think it's called like Samuel's gamer tags world because it's technically like he's paying for it. Sometimes I don't remind him, but sometimes I pay him for it. But he's been paying for this for Samuel.
Chop Malone
5 Venmo request Jared.
Sherm
That's insane.
Jared
It's like not that cheap. It's like 10 or 15 bucks a month, which is cheap. But it's like for a Minecraft world for five Minecraft years, it's so fun.
Coop
A lot of people getting Nintendo switches. We got to run a Mario Kart. Oh my God.
Chop Malone
We would if we did that. We'd need to do an inside the bus stream.
JP
Yeah.
Ferda
Who all has switches here? Yeah, I just got a switch.
JP
Mine's not even mine, so. And it's just. It's the original one.
Ferda
And I've been grinding Mario Kart. So if you want to do tournament, let's do it.
Chop Malone
Have you been playing that more than.
Coop
I have one, Just not the new one.
Jared
Mitch has a great game if.
Chop Malone
If the chun method hits, I'll buy one.
Jared
That driving game we used to play at your house that you made. A drinking game.
Mitch
Yeah.
Chop Malone
Where it does the random.
Ferda
We should all lay bets that would make us win enough money for a Switch.
Chop Malone
Yeah. If our parlay. Our parlay. I think I'm saying if we hit the parlay. If.
Jared
I think literally a switch is 500 bucks, right?
Chop Malone
If we hit the parlay, I will buy a switch the next day.
Jared
I agree on that. If we win this parlay, each of us, then we will all buy a switch.
Coop
No. Yes. Well, I have. I'm not buying one. You do, just not.
Jared
You're good.
JP
I'm not buying another one.
Jared
Yeah, you're good.
Chop Malone
Coop, you got to buy something. What would you want to buy?
Jack
A new game?
Mitch
Yeah, maybe I'll buy. Maybe I'll buy a new game.
Coop
Yeah.
Chop Malone
Another controller.
Coop
You and I will buy wings for the stream.
Chop Malone
Deal.
Jack
Damn.
Chop Malone
Let's go. 500. 500 parlay.
Jared
Like, we all have a understanding that if we hit it, like, we have to make one purchase with the amount.
Chop Malone
Like, yeah, we are switches, like every week.
Jared
This one doesn't hit, then the next one. Like, if there's ever something else, like, we have to make a 500 purchase.
Chop Malone
Maybe if we hit a fat one, we can get another microphone.
Sherm
You think we can get this on fan like the app?
Chop Malone
Definitely not.
Jared
Check out the inside the bus.
Coop
Keep going harder.
Chop Malone
We got to hit one first.
Sherm
True.
Jared
Will and Taylor don't have to hit starting this week.
Ferda
We're hitting them.
Jared
We're good.
Chop Malone
They put Will until we can ask.
Sherm
But yeah, I mean, they seem pretty cool. Shout out. Fanduel.
Coop
Yeah, fanduel. You're sick.
JP
I got.
Jack
I could talk a little bit about New York today because there's one little.
JP
Interesting piece that just kind of sucked, but it's just how things go when you travel. We fly out. So you're listening to this.
Jack
If you're listening to it tomorrow. Friday, September 12th. Today is September 11th. Also, let's take a little moment of silence. September 11th. Thank you to all the people who sacrificed their lives. There's a serious moment on this pod that we don't have many of, but thank you. Well, I was gonna, like, after I said it, like, do it, but you get the gist one.
JP
Flying into New York on 9 11. Interesting idea.
Jack
I. I was halfway there, and Shannon, she texted me and she's like, you're flying in New York on 9 11? And I was like, oh, yeah, Cool.
JP
All right.
Jack
Like, you just kind of like, all right, I'll. I'm gonna text you when I land.
Ferda
Yeah.
Jack
Let you know, like, all right, we're good. So obviously we're fine. We go to the hotel, we get in our rooms, like 12:30. JP and I went last week we discussed this. They thought they put us in the Four Seasons. They put us in like the four, the four points. It was a, it was a mess of a hotel. So they upgrades was like a, a loft hotel. So it was nice, especially like the lobby and stuff. The rooms were fine. My sheets though were killing me. They're scratching. I'm. I cannot sleep with a T shirt on. But I had to last night. So it's like yeah, I like, I was like, I'm not gonna go to sleep. So it's 12:30 by the time my head, it's the pillow. We gotta be up at like 5. I had my alarm set for 5:10 because we got to be in the lobby 5:30 to go down there. Right as I'm about to get like, like, I swear it's like that little moment where you like think you're asleep. Crazy loud alarm goes off. For 25 minutes. A fire alarm went off in our hotel and it just did not stop. And so there was a really loud siren going on that sounded like it was coming out outside because I had an like a avenue facing room. And then it would switch every like 15 seconds the cadence. And it would be like a fire alarm in your high school but in a room smaller than this. So. And you just hear people opening their doors outside the hallway. So you're just like someone hopefully is reporting this because it's not gonna be me. I probably, I'm like. And then it got to a point where it just never went off. So I'm timing it where in my head I can hear the outside alarm and I'm not like hearing it as much. But then when I get went inside in your room, it is piercing. So I had it perfectly synced up to where right when I heard that one, like the cadence like drop, I just plug the ear. And then I remember just waking up in a rush. I looked at my phone and like in Hindsight it said 351, but I read it as 551. And last week Will was like 5, 10 minutes late getting down and it like ruined his morning. And you just don't ever want to be that guy. Like it's in reality it's not the biggest deal, but it is. And you just don't want to be that guy. Cuz when you're not that guy, you're like, oh dude, I, I really, I'm good for the rest of the day. And so at 3:50 I like, I rush up and I'm like I'm getting in the shower. Even though I had showered at, like, midnight, like, so I didn't have to shower. And then I. Yeah, and then it just kind of hit me and I was like, oh, my gosh. 3:50. I was like, at least the alarm's not on. Fell asleep. Woke up at like 5:05 for the alarm. Just kind of set up and was.
JP
Like, like, all right.
Jack
But dude, the people at ESPN are so cool. All the dudes, same guys that were there last week, the omelets finally got the unlimited one with all the toppings. They kind of, they kind of got mad at me last week. But, yeah, overall, it's going to be a really good relationship. And Will and Taylor are dialing in. They're actually going to do a, A, actually, I probably shouldn't even say this. I'll tell you off camera, but yeah, overall, continue to watch. Get up on Thursday mornings at 8am Eastern, 9pm, 9am Central. It's a fun show. They had Hawk on today, Andrew Hawkins, which was cool. Shafty's always a legend. So is Orlovsky.
Chop Malone
How about Taylor getting the Tannehill question? So that's a troll job by them. It has to be.
Jack
Himbo is the guy who asked those questions. And he was like, hey, we're gonna do that segment next. And he, like, showed me the questions and I was like, I was like, is it, is it Tannehill? And he's like, yes. And he was like, taylor was on concussion protocol then. So in my mind, I'm like, I mean, he, he's probably not gonna get it even if he was playing in that game. And he ends up texting me and I give him the information. I was just like, it's Tanns. Like, you were concussed. It was a 273 game. And so I think they intentionally said that wrong to have fun with the joke. But next week he's like, we're coming for two and one. I don't want any, any hint. So I, I appreciated Taylor being like, you know what? I know the answer. But I, I, I did not know the answer was giving the answer because he wanted it. And he still chose to take the fall. So I thought that was honorable.
Mitch
Yeah.
Chop Malone
What.
Coop
How come I saw on the post he got, did he get into the set late?
JP
It, it wasn't even like, late. We, we were there with plenty of time. They were. His hair was not cooperating, and it was so funny. The girls doing it were keeping him.
Jack
Longer, and he was like, I really gotta go. It was like 7:57. They gotta be on it at 8 and he. They gotta mic him up. And he got, he got out and it was crazy. And he's like, they weren't happy with it. I'm not happy with it. So. But right as he walked in, yeah, those guys started operating. They were stressing out, trying to get his mic on. And he got on because, you know, in those shows they always do like, it'll be like a VO of. Of Greenie, like talking about, like the docket ahead and like, what's been going on. And so in reality, he probably had like an extra minute and a half, but he got on.
Chop Malone
What's funny about that?
Ferda
This morning. This morning, one of like our buddies.
Jared
That we do our boys trip with.
Coop
Texted in the group chat and says, coop, does your boss wear a wig?
Ferda
Looks like he just woke up.
JP
Did he send a photo or just saying that?
Ferda
He just said it. He was watching.
Coop
He just said it.
Jack
I mean, I have like a.
Sherm
His hair looks. And like, yeah, last week when you did, like the surfboard on his hair, like, it just looks so unnatural.
Coop
But he has such good hair, such.
Jack
Such a thick hairline and like.
Sherm
Yeah, I mean, I guess it's because he's always. It's always. He's always wearing hats. So it, like, yeah, it's fine. But like, I don't know. I don't think they need to do his hair.
Chop Malone
Oh, like, he just needs you. I mean, you kind of have to in. In tv.
Mitch
Bad.
Jared
On tv, it doesn't look bad.
Chop Malone
What are you all talking about?
Coop
I feel like I didn't notice.
Chop Malone
I would have never noticed that. What?
JP
Like, I don't know if you just looks more poofy.
Coop
And I'm like, I wish my hair was.
Chop Malone
It might be. It might just be a little long right now. Yeah, just the guy, Some slack, dude.
Sherm
No, no, I'm just saying, like, it's a joke.

Jack
What's his last name?
Coop
Let me pull it up. He went to Brentwood.
Jack
Reed Mangelsdorf.
Chop Malone
No.
Ferda
That's a sick last name, dude.
Chop Malone
Right?
Coop
Telling you, this guy Matt probably knows Reed Smith.
Jack
Reed Smith.
Coop
He's friends with Early. He played basketball, so he's closer.
Chop Malone
I feel like I gotta.
Jack
James or Joey.
Coop
He's in between James and Joe.
JP
Gotcha, gotcha. Go Bruins.
Coop
Dude, he like, he shoots documentaries where he goes to Nepal. He goes to Uganda.
Jack
Oh, he's out there.
Coop
He is out there and hit child.
Jack
Soldiers type for golf tournaments, literally.
Coop
No, no, for the world.
Jared
Like, but today I'm. Today I'm doing this doc on this golf tournament.
Coop
World issues. Like we think so we think bad things happen here. Dude, this guy has been in like the front lines of insane things. So it was cool to meet him. And they were all following around his brother in law. So that was fun because I just went solo and then I ended up walking with this family for.
Chop Malone
Does he have his own chant? Like, is it a channel or does he do them for a company?
Coop
He's independent, so people will hire him out to join their documentary team.
Chop Malone
Oh, nice.
Coop
Or they'll hire his documentary company.
Chop Malone
Oh, cool.
Jack
Where. Where was the golf course or which golf course? Oh, nice.
Chop Malone
Legendary.
Jared
I remember, like, side note on that. What happened to that dude that made the Kony 2012 documentary?
Chop Malone
Like, go ahead, Jared.
JP
I remember Coney very vividly, but, like, I don't remember. Like, I remember that time of life.
Jared
Crash out within like a year after. Because I mean, remember, like, that was the biggest thing on her earth. Like, that was like Coney, he. He like had a full crash out because of how big it got. Like, he never thought it would get that big. And like, there's like a video of him like naked walking the streets of la, like tweaking out. And then I think he went like, on Oprah. So I just watched this video about the other day. The way, the way he explained it kind of was sad. He's like, I've been like trying to push this thing my entire life. Like, almost how they say about like Olympic, like gold medalist, where it's like kind of depressing after he's like, my life's mission was like, Coney. And then it became the biggest thing on earth.
Sherm
I forget what it even was about.
Jack
I was like child soldiers stopping Coney.
Jared
And it's crazy because like no one's next question. He did like end it. Like, it worked like this. Like, the guy, like, apparently like his whole army.
JP
Like now he's like hiring child soldiers to get a new rebellion going.
Jared
It's like way worse. Anyway, sorry, that was the golf tournament.
Ferda
How'd your boy.
Chop Malone
While we were speaking about football?
Coop
He finished even so. Oh, it's day one.
Ferda
That's good.
Coop
This is the Corn Ferry Tour finals. So now there's like more people get cut after each tournament.
Chop Malone
Yeah.
Coop
So instead of like, you know, the typical 72 that make it now, it's like only 60. Make it next week. Only 50 will make it following week. Just 40.
Sherm
So it's like, is there like a cut line or how does this like.
Chop Malone
You'll know after today. Yeah, you got to have two days even.
Ferda
Usually safe for a couple.
Coop
No, I would say really tomorrow, like at the end of tomorrow. I bet he would have to be like four under.
Ferda
Okay.
Chop Malone
Are they playing from the tips? I'm trying to figure out how long it is.
Coop
It's what they're playing from the furthest ones.
Ferda
Yeah.
Chop Malone
Tipped out. Boy, was this Legends. It's where Vandy. It's Vandy's home facility.
JP
Awesome course.
Chop Malone
Yeah. It's sick. They have two 18s out there.
JP
That's a real supporter.
Coop
Yeah, because I mean, I would have.
JP
Been a one day guy. It would have been the second. It would have been tomorrow though.
Jared
I would have been a one whole guy.
Chop Malone
Well, he. He teed off. Teed off this morning.
JP
Oh, I mean, that's different.
Chop Malone
Yeah.
Ferda
I don't.
JP
I feel like this golfer, guys.
Chop Malone
No, it was Keenan who say to.
JP
Him and JP aren't close, but probably aren't the level of friendship that Garrett and I are. But I mean, realistically, it would depend on the person if it was even someone like remotely close that I believed in. Yeah. I'd want to be out there supporting me.
Mitch
Yeah.
Chop Malone
Yeah. What do you mean four?
Sherm
Damn it.
JP
We know you were making the cut, but we'd be out there every.
Sherm
Yeah. Whenever you tee up. Demon home.
Jared
Happy Gilmore.
Chop Malone
I wonder what those nerves are like.
Coop
Oh, man.
Chop Malone
I mean, dude, was there anybody like, were there a lot of people out there?
Coop
I was gonna ask that decent amount because that's tough.
Chop Malone
On a third Saturday there will be people I remember going growing up to watch on Saturdays.
Coop
That Blades kid isn't the mix. He was.
Ferda
Yeah.
Chop Malone
That BA kid.
Jared
Yeah.
Coop
This kid, for those who don't know, he was like at one time, I guess the number one, like 16 year old golfer in the world. And he played his way on to the Corn Ferry Tour by making like hella Monday qualifiers. And so now he's in the corner. Corn Ferry Tour finals. Nashville kid.
Jack
His name is Blades.
Chop Malone
Blades Blaze Brown.
JP
He was born to play golf.
Jared
Name is Blades.
Coop
Yeah.
Sherm
That's sick.
Jared
That really feels like a character out.
Coop
Of like sticks or.
Sherm
And the only. The only way you can get your card correct is winning the entire Corn Ferry. Or how do you get your pro card?
Chop Malone
Oh, you got to win like a. A few tournaments.
Coop
Yeah. So you get. You can get auto bid to PJ Tour if you win three Corn Fairy if you finish first. And three Corn Fairy tournaments over the course of the year. Plus I think it's the top 10 or 15 at the end of your rankings. They get their cards 16 through 70. Get full status for corn fairy the following year. 70 to the end. Get conditional. Like 140.
Sherm
And where's your boy at?
Coop
He's like in the 120. So like, he really needs to make this cut.
Sherm
Yeah.
Coop
To secure at least conditional status next year.
Sherm
And what does conditional.
Coop
Because it's hard to get.
Chop Malone
There's so many people.
Sherm
What does conditional mean?
Coop
Like how many people qualify to join? Sorry, this isn't plugged in.
Ferda
Depending how many people qualify to join the Corn Ferry, it would then bump people out of that last ranking. Correct.
Coop
And so when they show up to a tournament, not everybody plays every tournament. So he's like in that next crew that gets in. Got you to fill out.
Sherm
Got you, got you. Gotcha.
Coop
Plus X amount of guaranteed starts like three to five.
Mitch
I think.
Sherm
That's so sick. The golf. The golf world seems so sick, but also so stressful at the same time.
Mitch
Yeah. Yeah.
Chop Malone
I mean, it's just you and your.
JP
Thoughts and so many guys for hours. Just as good as you and way better.
Chop Malone
Yeah.
Coop
This year. Yeah. Like you'll always have one on Corn Fairy, but a lot of times it could be a different person each tournament, which could be.
Chop Malone
And like you're paying out of pocket a lot of money for this stuff.
Coop
Because he's staying with me this week. That's five nights of lodging. I'm charging him like 300 a night.
Chop Malone
It came prime one night.
JP
Maybe there's an idea out there for our next inside the bus vlog where we do a four man scramble.
Chop Malone
We need to.
JP
With this group, Obviously whoever has GS, their captain will have a significant advantage, but.
Coop
Pretty bad.
Chop Malone
I don't know. We. We could come up with something.
JP
I think I should be an auto.
Jared
Geez.
JP
I don't know who all plays golf in here, but I would assume it would be G and I's captains, and there's a massive differential between. Between me and G. But, I mean, I have broke 80, so people forget that I've.
Sherm
I've broken.
Chop Malone
Hey, Jack hasn't played golf since.
JP
No, but I haven't played golf in a minute.
Sherm
I've broken 90 twice. So.
Jack
Yeah.
Chop Malone
I mean, Jack was almost there when I broke 70. Yeah, almost broke 70.
JP
69 at the. @ the bridge.
Chop Malone
I would have buried the clubs.
Coop
I'm not that good, but I serviceable.
JP
I think it'd be fun to get out there.
Chop Malone
It would be very, very fun.
JP
We could.
Chop Malone
We don't have to, because chef would play too.
JP
We don't do a full 18 of golf. We could truly go do a putt. Putt. Yeah, like, because that. That make it. That's cheap and easy.
Chop Malone
And we could play. We could play 18 film nine. We could play 18 film nine and then Dick around or people leave. Whatever.
JP
Or we could go to. We go, like, Spencer Creek, too. Or not Spencer Creek. The. The little. Not the little course. I'm thinking of all the places in Spencer Creek.
Jack
The one by bga.
Chop Malone
Yes.
JP
Shelby.
Ferda
Vinnie.
JP
I'm thinking of Vinnie Links. These are all golf courses just for people who are wondering what's the one.
Chop Malone
That I. I always go to Nashboro.
Ferda
Nashboro's fun.
JP
Nashville's got a decent disc golf course.
Sherm
Smyrna's pretty.
JP
So the one thing about Nashboro, this is such a niche fact, but if you've ever been up to Nashboro that you will notice there is so many Oregon flags, and you're like, is this like a. An ex alumni community?
Jack
Yeah.
JP
And it turns out the guy who basically owns the entire neighborhood offered every rental place a percentage discount on their rent if they fly an Oregon flag in their yard. So the whole neighborhood just has go ducks everywhere. So honestly, kind of a sick thing for them.
Ferda
That makes and so much sense.
JP
If Dan Landing's listening, y' all should send a crew out here to do a little scoop on that, because it's. It's hilarious.
Ferda
And you're talking about those cottages, too, right?
JP
Yeah, exactly.
Chop Malone
Yeah. Like, on three, just go look. You can see them on the T. Bo bucks right there.
JP
See him everywhere. It's so funny.
Jared
Like, he's, like, big dicking all of his tenants.
JP
Like, but, I mean, if you don't care about football, it just feels like.
Chop Malone
Clearly that guy does not. It doesn't matter. That discount to him.
Jared
People over for, like, a Tennessee watch party. Why do you have an Oregon flag.
Sherm
Up it's like I'm getting a discount on my rent.
Coop
Yes, I know.
Jared
It's like you're instantly.
Chop Malone
It's on.
Mitch
It's alpha.
Chop Malone
I could be wrong because I've never seen the front of the houses, but it might just be even like on the golf course.
JP
I think that is what it.
Chop Malone
So like, the front of your house can be like.
Jared
That makes more sense because I was.
Chop Malone
Like business in the front, party in the back.
Jared
That he wants all his, like, tenants.
JP
I mean, imagine how much money he in turn is technically, like paying for flags to be flown if it's that percentage off the ramp.
Chop Malone
Another thing Nashboro does very well is their hot dogs. It's the best hot dog I think I've ever had. They split the dog and grill it.
Ferda
Grill it on. Really?
JP
That's a real OG move.
Coop
We might got to go on a hot dog tour in Nashville.
Chop Malone
Okay.
Ferda
All right.
Chop Malone
So inside the bus, dog will host us.
JP
They hit me up all the time.
Chop Malone
All right, so inside the bus. We should do a. Some sort of vlog. We need a vlog. While all these could be vlogs.
JP
Okay.
Chop Malone
National shores. We did that. They're about to close a hot dog tour like that. But what's another food tour we should do? Obviously we all love wings.
JP
There's. There is a panda fest is coming to Nashville, which is a big thing that happened.
Chop Malone
Like express.
JP
It's like an Asian food festival.
Chop Malone
We'll be there.
JP
Like, there's just.
Mitch
Yeah.
Chop Malone
Who needs to go to Japan?
JP
I think. I think it's in either. I think it's October, but yeah, it'll be like on the streets for two days and it's just ton of Asian food markets and like every kind of weird obscure thing.
Coop
I'm gonna be volunteer. What's up, Matt? Good looks.
Chop Malone
All right. Yeah, Maybe we lean into the food food world.
JP
We'll figure it out. Drop comments and.
Chop Malone
Yeah. What would you like us to do?
Coop
We'll do a Cribs too.
JP
Also comment.
Sherm
We should.
JP
Yeah, we can do that. We'll do that for your apartment for your. Once you get set up too.
Sherm
Yeah. Moving this weekend again.
JP
Again. Drop comments here on what questions you want to ask Coop on the next episode or just any of the guys, but try and direct them at cooperation. Also comment what you want to see us do for a vlog first, whether it's a food related one. Putt putt. Maybe frisbee golf.
Sherm
Taylor's pool party vlog is actually doing very well for us.
Chop Malone
Jared could stream Minecraft.
Jared
Yeah. If you guys want me to do a hardcore Minecraft, I'll do that.
Chop Malone
What does hardcore mean? You have to stand up.
Jared
If you die, the world's over. There's no.
Sherm
No.
Chop Malone
How do you die in Minecraft?
Jared
How do you die?
Chop Malone
I've never, I've never played. I've never played.
Jared
I've never played zombie villagers on zombies.
Ferda
So all these, all these things can hurt you. Like, do you have that on your world right now?
Mitch
Yeah, because you said you just get on and chill. Like you got to be on.
Jared
You got to be on. You gotta fight the monsters. I'm on normal. I'm on normal life. Every night I'm on normal play mode, though. Not hard or easy. I'm on normal. So they're not all over you all. But if you play hardcore Minecraft, I think it's automatically on hard. And then if you die, it's over. I die like every night. I die like 10 times.
Ferda
Are there chicken jockeys?
Jared
No. And I hate what that movie did for the brand. Everybody's saying chicken jockey.
Sherm
It doesn't drop comments.
Coop
You and Dale landing, son.
Sherm
If you guys have questions, what we want to talk about, ask Coop some questions.
Coop
I'm answering.
Sherm
And yeah, that's all we have for you.
Chop Malone
I love the like 8 sign offs we do every time. Coop, sign us out.
Sherm
Yeah, sign us out.
Chop Malone
See y' all next episode.
Jared
You're just not talking to a mic. Oh, I thought you were.

Hosts: Will Compton, Taylor Lewan, “the Boys” (rotating group, including Sherm, Mitch, JP, Chop Malone, Coop, Jared, Ferda, Jack)
This episode of “Inside the Bus,” a Bussin’ With The Boys spinoff, is a classic crew pod delving into their week’s highlights, especially focusing on producer Matt (“Chop Malone”/”Ferda”) finally getting his shot at flag football, recapping Jill’s 30th birthday plans, and diving into building their signature “Inside the Bus” NFL parlay. The group interweaves banter, playful roasting, sports gambling picks, gaming (Minecraft, Mario Kart), and future vlog/segment ideas.
(02:13 – 04:44)
“I’m gonna get so hammered at her birthday party last night.” (03:07)
(04:39 – 06:14)
“It’s my favorite thing to do with dogs… like, you sure humans don’t do that? Dogs do that.” (04:44)
(07:03 – 15:19)
“Felt like Pete Carroll calling me, I’m DK Metcalf.” (10:12)
“Ryan is my guy, but I’m not letting him out-athletic me at all.” (15:17 – Mitch)
(25:03 – 32:12)
“If we hit the parlay, I will buy a Switch the next day.” (34:42 – Chop Malone)
(35:51 – 42:38)
“It’s like a fire alarm in your high school but in a room smaller than this.” (36:42 – Jack)
(32:23 – 35:16) / (41:39 – 43:02)
“We now have a subway system that goes from the main house to the main town. It’s like Elon’s tunnel.” (33:12)
(56:01 – 57:12)
“Guys, y’all should send us questions. Coop would fucking love that.” (45:25 – Jared)
Matt (reflecting on flag football debut):
“I play better defense… I had a sick pass deflection. …First game jitters. Calvin Ridley had two drops…” (10:33)
On the “bus combine” athletic challenge:
“I’m not letting [Ryan] out-athletic me.” (15:17 – Mitch)
On why dog “zoomies” are essential:
“You gotta show your dogs that you have Zoomies once a day.” (05:17 – Jared)
Pledging Switch purchases if the parlay hits:
“If we hit the parlay, I will buy a switch the next day.” (34:42 – Chop Malone)
Espousing Minecraft therapy:
“Minecraft is therapeutic for the brain… calming. …We’ve been working on a subway system on this world for the last three years.” (32:41-33:07 – Jared)
Reflecting on travel woes:
“A fire alarm in your high school but in a room smaller than this… it did not stop.” (36:39 – Jack)
Vlog brainstorming:
“We should do a vlog—hot dog tour, food segments, maybe a Cribs.” (56:44 – JP/Chop)
