Garrett

Jack
This episode, we don't really have a whole bunch of things planned because we've been.
Matt Rogers
Busy.
Jack
The. These boys were at the SEC Championship. We got more travels coming up for College Football Playoff locker room episodes. It's been. It's been a busy week at bus and.
Mitch
HQ. We got the.
Jack
OGs. So we got the.
Mitch
OGs. And plus.
Jack
Matt. Plus Matt. And Matt has a few questions cooked up for us that he'll be asking throughout the.
Garrett
Show. He needs his. What's our classification?
Jack
Ogs. Oh, no, technically, we're big.
Garrett
Bro. Yeah, we're big bro. He. He needs big bro.
Mitch
Answers. And we're gonna turn it over some yourself, too. Like, you know, they don't have to be like. Like, as we're talking about one, you'd be like, oh, like, he doesn't.
JP
Have. Like, I'll.
Matt Rogers
Piggyback. Are we. Are we ripping straight into this? Should we have a recap of this past weekend SEC Championship talk? I like. I know for you, G. Look, if you don't follow us on socials or anything or understand kind of the dynamic behind Garrett and the. Him having to film for Alabama. He is now currently 0 and 2 while working during an Alabama game. The first one took place in 2024 when Tennessee and Alabama played Inland Stadium. I've never witnessed a more gracious loser. Garrett cares about Alabama football a lot, and when you get to watch him operate in a work mode when his team is playing not just a regular season game, but the SEC Championship, it. I just got to give you your flowers a bit like it was. It would be tough for any to watch the opposing team's confetti fly after winning, and Garrett literally dove into that crowd to get the final shot for the vlog. So I gotta give your flowers, but take me through kind of what was going through your head. Were you upset? Were you just kind of in work mode? Just give me.
Garrett
Something. Yeah, it. Well, when the. The opportunity came up that we were going to go to the game and the guys are going to be on espn, which was awesome. Like, you guys listened to the bus and then the locker room this weekend, Will Taylor, Josh, and Harry absolutely crushed it, as we all know. But when that presented itself, I. There was a part of me that was like, damn, I really want to go to this game. And I know the only way is going to be to vlog.
Jack
It.
Garrett
Went to JP about it and ultimately, like, got in the situation where it was like, all right, G's gonna go and vlog this game. And aside from, like, the fact that we got our kicked in, being able to go experience your team playing, the way that busing gets to go and experience games will always be worth it. Like, it being on the field, throwing the ball around on the. On the Mercedes Benz turf before the SEC championship, bro, that's so sick. Throwing the ball around, just dicking around. Truly, just, like, raised on that game. It's. It was awesome. And yeah, in the back of my mind, I'm like, all right, work is first. But, like, also, I'm. We gotta lock in and try and win this game. Obviously, it absolutely sucks when it turns the way it does. I will say what makes it easier is when it does go south that fast, you're able to just turn and focus on, like, the work part. But, yeah, I mean, it's a lot of fun. It's cool to, like, see your squad, like, the school. You go to, like, field level. Like, it's just. I don't know, there's something about it that's really cool. It's like, when you're cheering for your team while you're at school, you're like, yo, these are my classmates. Like, this. This is my team. Like, these are our guys. And when I was there this past weekend, you're sitting there, like, on the field watching these guys warm up, and you just kind of get taken back to that moment of, like, this is why you love your school. Like, truly, just, it's such a big moment, and obviously you hope they go and deliver and represent well and win the game. But I don't know. There's something special about just being able to go experience games the way we get to. And I will never take that for.
Mitch
Granted. Yeah, that's.
Jack
Awesome.
Mitch
Yeah. What was. I was gonna go kind of away from the game, but still on the trip if you.
Jack
Had. Oh. I think, though, one of the things that has been cracking me up is Will's reaction to the Georgia fans barking. And the reason that it sticks out in my head is just because, I don't know, I feel like he. Both. Neither Will or Taylor fully understand the difference in SEC fan bases compared to Big Ten fan.
Matt Rogers
Bases. 100%. When we were in that stadium, it didn't even cross my mind until Will one point was like, bro, the barking. I was like, what are you talking about? He's like, the fans. I'm like, dude, have you ever seen.
Garrett
Georgia? That's white noise at this.
Matt Rogers
Point. We went to Athens and we saw Georgia, South Carolina in 23, and I was like, did you not hear that there? I'm like, I guess once you're just so accustomed to it, you just kind of get numb and pushes out of your.
Mitch
Brain. But, yeah, SEC fans are definitely, like, built different because of, like, the buy in, like, Big Ten. Like, yeah, you're fans of, like, your Ohio states, Penn states, like, your respective schools, whatever it is. But, like, it's more so, like, you're just a fan. Whereas with sec, you're like, it's a lifestyle. Like, it's like you, like, in Alec. Like, I'm sure in Tuscaloosa or anywhere in Alabama, you're walking out. Just like, they have a good one. Real tide, right? Like, that is not a.
Garrett
Thing. Yeah, I mean, they made an ESPN commercial about the. The simple phrase of roll Tide, and I haven't seen a commercial like that for any Big Ten.
Mitch
School. Yeah, like, I'm. I'm.
Garrett
Just. You pulled over. Hey, you know I pulled you over. Yeah. All right. See you. Roll tight. Hold the door. Roll Tide, the gap, Rainy day, sunny day, don't.
Jack
Matter. The gap between SEC fan bases and Big Ten fan bases is astronomical. And that's. Those guys can't.
Garrett
Make. And I just needed to get.
Mitch
That. No.
Garrett
I'm. I'm with you watching to Jack's point, but watching Will's face when that first. I told you earlier, that first rumble of the Georgia fans, like, hitting the bark and his face being, like, kind of shocked and like. Well, I'm like, yeah, bro. Like, this means more. Like, at the end of the day, it means more. And when you hear, like, one Georgia fan bark, it sounds corny because it's just human being barking. But when you have that whole half of the stadium doing it and it creates a more of a roar, it's like, you got to give them credit. Like, after the kickoff, like, when it's like we hit the roll, tie, roll, and then they have the immediate after bark, and it's just like. It means just so much bro in Jack. And I laughed about it, but, like, Georgia's band would start to play and they'd get like. And then immediately on that third note, Bama would play that same song louder, and then Bama would start something, and then Georgia would play it.
Matt Rogers
Louder. There was a moment, though, pre game when the. The Georgia was warming up in the zone that Bama's bam was in, and the whole Band is just playing out of tune, and it's the most annoying thing ever. And for a second, I'm like, all right. They're just kind of like, getting the pipes cleared, ready to roll. But it went on for three, four, five minutes, and they're playing the worst noise you've ever heard. And Garrett's like, yeah, they're playing out of tune. Just, like, getting in their head, and I'm like.
Garrett
Genius. It was.
Matt Rogers
Awful. Like, the band needs.
Garrett
Play. Flight as a bumblebee. Shout out.
Jack
Drumline. Yeah, shout out drum.
Garrett
Line. You ever.
Matt Rogers
Seen? That was my first time in. In Mercedes Benz, though. Nick Cannon talking to that mic.
JP
Bro Canon, the one with Nick.
Jack
Cannon. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. So, yeah, Drumline is sick. But that was my first time in Mercedes Benz. I mentioned it to you guys, but if you have the opportunity to go to Mercedes Benz, do.
Garrett
It. It's.
Matt Rogers
Fantastic. It's a class act of a stadium. It's just like what you would imagine a premier stadium to be built. Like, obviously, we had a different entrance in people, and it was very quick and.
Garrett
Easy. I mean, we still went in on, like, the concourse level. Took that quick ride.
Matt Rogers
Out. But, like, it's just beautiful, the ceiling. I. Obviously it was a cold day, so they didn't have the retractable roof as a play, but, man, I want to go back for a game, like, in that summer, I'm sure, like, what is it? Atlanta.
Jack
Fc? Yeah, Atlanta United. But a World cup game there.
Matt Rogers
Especially with that dome open, it'd be sweet. I want to get this out there, though. I am not pro. Atlanta, Atlanta. I don't enjoy Atlanta. I think it's dangerous. I think that it's. It's. The traffic, obviously, is a huge issue. It's so spaced out. Atlanta has good things about it, but I am not gonna just up and go to Atlanta for the weekend, so. But if there's people out there who have Atlanta United tickets, I'll take back what I said about Atlanta, but other than that, yeah, we also got.
Garrett
Peak Mercedes Benz stadium experience. Because Chick Fil A, we were able to get Chick Fil A. It wasn't.
Jack
Sunday. That's what I was going to ask is. I think a good list people could give is, like, when you go to the concession stands, what. And you can get three items. Which three items would you.
Matt Rogers
Choose? I wish we got up to.
Jack
The Beer Water Dog sessions, but, yeah, just in general, what. What's your go to.
Matt Rogers
Concession? I like this.
Garrett
Question. Should we do it right.
Jack
Now? I think we should do.
Matt Rogers
It. So can we. Can we lay parameters? Is it like one. One entree, one side, one drink kind of thing, and you can kind of justify.
Garrett
It. It's a loose. Let's do.
Jack
That. It's a loose. It's.
Matt Rogers
Loose. I think. I think I. I'm ready. You're ready?
Mitch
Please. I'm going.
Jack
Jelly. If.
Mitch
They. If they had it, I think I probably would pivot to that. I don't know if. If this is like.
Garrett
A. If you could call it third down. Everyone's getting loud Mitches, licking.
Mitch
The. I don't know if you would call this an entree, but, like, I feel like at games and I got stadiums, they're bigger. Like a pretzel. I love a pretzel. And then I'll probably get peanut. Peanut M M's. And then like a blue powerade.
Jack
Fire. Yeah, that's pretty cool, man. I think I'm going. Nashville SC has some great concessions.
Garrett
Options. That one's hard, though, because those are.
Jack
Like. I know restaurants, but I'm thinking, like, the. I'll go with nachos, I guess, as my. As my entree. Ideally, you know, if there's some sort of meat that they're throwing on there, whether they're. Yeah. Pork nachos, brisket, nachos. Any of those, dude. For the side, I think. I think I gotta go overall experience. Maybe popcorn. Because you can get other people involved, which is key when you're going back up to the stands to meet somebody, throw the popcorn in there and then drink. I gotta go with souvenir cup.
Mitch
Coke. That's a. Yeah, that's a good.
Garrett
Pool. Yeah, I will. I'll piggyback on the souvenir cup. Obviously, if you're not getting a beer, but you have to have some sort of liquid at a game, souvenir cup is just the only option. I will go with. I'll go with your classic dog. I feel like it wouldn't be right for me to not say dog after that photo from Notre.
Mitch
Dame.
Garrett
Yeah. Ketchup, mustard house, that thing. And then on the side, I'm trying to think, like. I feel like I don't really get many sides at games, but you said popcorn, and it took me back. I feel like there was maybe the Titans games back in the day, but they used to do. Was it Cracker.
Matt Rogers
Jacks? Yeah, Cracker Jacks are.
Garrett
Money. Like, they would do.
Matt Rogers
That. Get in your teeth like.
JP
Crazy. Yeah, yeah.
Garrett
Yeah. That's why you need that souvenir drink. That'd be.
Jack
Mine. Love.
Matt Rogers
It. Love that. I'M gonna explain mine from the experience of my Titans fandom because that's what I've been doing. Last week it was a little chilly. I've been going in there. All of the concessions or majority of them now at Nissan Stadium are these automatic tellers where you scan your car. It does 25 like you know, dollar withhold and then you go in and there's cameras. So it just knows what you're good. Which I kind of like because when I go in the Titan Stadium, it's hard enough being a Titans fans. I don't really want to. I want to limit the amount of communication that I have at all times there. So I start out before I go to my seat and I've been getting Little Caesars. They have these two slices of like the corner cut new or Chicago style pizza. So I'll get that, go to my seat, be there, you know, 10 minutes for kickoff. Especially right now when it's a little chilly. It's nice. Keeps the fingers warm, goes down nice. So I, I don't do like entree side drink. I do mine in two installments. So I get the pizza at the beginning and then depending on how hungry I am, typically I wait it out until the end of the half because I'll go up and see some people into halftime. About five minutes left for third quarter starts. I went and I got the loaded nachos this time. First time user of the loaded nachos in Nissan Stadium. Incredible. It was so good. The only thing is it was pretty chilly like I said and by the end of the nachos everything was cold. It's pretty cold still. Barbecue, barbecue sauce, jalapenos, some like candied peppers is what it said on there. And then I like a diet Coke. I haven't been drinking the last like month of these Titans games, which has been phenomenal. And so I do like a good DC or water and then you gotta have some nicotine there. Just throw in the.
Mitch
Lip.
Jack
Yeah.
Mitch
Boom.
Jack
Yeah.
Mitch
The. This is more of like. Have you guys ever heard of Chicken Pete's? Chicken Pete's, Chicky and Pete's. It's like a, I think it's just a Philly thing, but at, at the baseball state, like all the stadiums in Philly, they have like this chicky and Pete's and it's the fries and like crab fries and this cheese sauce and it's, it's really just old bay crab.
Matt Rogers
Fries. It's crinkle meat.
Mitch
And. No, it's like crinkle cut fries. It's basically just old Bay seasoning on it. But like, it's like, it's kind of different. But I just remember growing up as kids and like a couple of years ago when I went to the Flyers game, you just get chicky, chicky and Pete's. Their fries are just unreal. Just like a massive, like souvenir cup of fries. And then like on the side is like two little holders for the cheese sauce. And it is.
Matt Rogers
Unreal. So I have a follow up question then on that for, I guess, like Brian, Denny and Williams Bryce, is there like a notable food item that you guys have or that you would like if you were there? Like, oh, you need to go get that. Because, for example, in Tennessee is a big thing and it's, it's delicious. And especially when it's cold out, having like a good quality bowl of chili in a game, it's like the only thing you've eaten in 10 hours is. Is pretty.
Garrett
Solid. I might get. You can go.
Jack
Ahead. Yeah. Actually, it's very similar to the chicken on a stick that y' all had on five points. And one of you guys sent me a video of this dude, because the guy that owns it, it's called TK Oriental dude. This guy, he shows up at Carolina Calls on Thursdays where Beamer does his live radio shows. He shows up at parades. He shows up just on the street in front of the stadium before game. It's this older Asian dude and he has his Gamecock flag and he truly just waves it and doesn't say anything. And then his captions on stuff will be like, go Gamecocks, Go Lady Gamecocks, go. Asia Wilson, like, shouts out everybody and it.
Matt Rogers
Is. That's the guy who does the chicken on the stick.
Jack
Stand. No, it's kind of like, I.
Mitch
Remember the chicken with sticks.
Jack
There. Now, it's just because chicken, honest, that guy's not in the, in the games. But it's a. It's a similar thing. I, I more like fried rice on.
Garrett
It. But ours is gonna. You, you all are gonna love ours. Ours is Dreamland Barbecue Nachos. Dreamland's a local barbecue joint in Tuscaloosa. So it's only right to provide that barbecue for the nachos. That's kind of the thing. There's probably more I'm gonna get crucified for. But yeah, honestly, in college, it was.
Matt Rogers
Not. Yeah, it's not like, what am I going to.
Garrett
Eat? Yeah, it was, how many airplane bottles can I fit in my socks? And we gotta get going it was a Notre Dame. I got a lock.
Mitch
In. It was a Notre Dame kind.
Garrett
Of. We're not.
Matt Rogers
Sitting. It's Yeah I guess for college people and responding the comments for this if you're unk status which we can probably lead into the questions after this but for like me and G&JP our stadiums did not sell alcohol in them during our college tenure and I was having this conversation with someone and so I'm. I don't know if it does suck. I'm curious to know if it would have been better to have. Because I think it helped us in the long run because if I fantastic. Drank as much as I would have on a freshman game day going in Neyland Stadium 80 and continued and then drank.
Mitch
Beer. I pass.
Matt Rogers
Out. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. There was a. I'm curious if it would have.
Garrett
Been. I can tell a quick story on that. We played Arkansas one year and Justin's dad came down shout out Justin Mancini. Big Mike came down and we were. It was young enough to where we were like we need some Evan Williams and crushed whiskey before the game and Justin came to the bathroom and I was asleep on the toilet in the stall and then. And then I woke up in my apartment to the fireworks going off for a.
Mitch
Touchdown. Do you like teleported.
Garrett
Home?
Mitch
Yeah. That's.
Garrett
Scary. So yeah. Don't eat alcohol in the stadium.
Matt Rogers
First. I need more.
JP
Food. Jack, did you never have a smokey dog? Did you guys not have smokey.
Matt Rogers
Dogs? I mean I'm sure they were the same sentiment of G is like I wasn't necessarily running around for.
Garrett
Food.
JP
Our. Our era was smokey dogs, hot dog cheese down the middle. Yeah. I was like never had. They were like. They were like four bucks. You get like three of them. Yeah. So cheap. Then we had alcohol in the stadium and it was awesome. But they're.
Matt Rogers
So. I'm just like we.
JP
Lock. You run in, you run to the stadium. You and your boys tell, tell, teleport to the beer aisle. You get two tall boys. They were both 14 each. So expensive. Neon has the most expensive alcohol in college.
Jack
Football. Oh.
JP
Dang.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. 24 ounce.
Garrett
Beers. Some of it goes towards nil though.
JP
Right? I think I probably. Well there's the talent fee and all that. But it was dude, the. When you get your two tall boys, you stick them in the back of your jeans and you head down to Nealon. You're already.
Garrett
Pissed. See, I. I would not be wasting my time in the beer aisle like in the.
JP
Line. It Was.
Matt Rogers
Quick. I definitely would have been there. But I still am glad I wasn't because I would have been broke. If I'm drinking, say six of those beers in a game.
JP
You.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. And I'm spending a hundred dollars every Saturday. I'm already balling on a budget the smallest amount. So I think it was for the best for the.
Mitch
Uncs. I feel. I feel like it's also in on like.
Garrett
A. It's kind of part of it not thought.
Mitch
About. Thing is like, what? Like if you break the seal, you're going to miss so much of the.
Jack
Game.
Mitch
Yeah. Like you're either pissing your.
Garrett
Pants. All I need.
Jack
Is. You got a.
Garrett
Whole. All I need is an airplane bottle in the.
JP
Students. But see, they got. They got so strict. They had. We had like boot checkers, scanners. They would pat down your.
Garrett
Boots. That's because y' all throwing on the.
Jack
Field. Yeah, but it.
JP
Was. But not even that. It was just like everybody was smoking shooters in or stealing shooters in. And so.
Jack
Just. What's your top three concessions? Smokey Dog.
JP
Entree. No.
Matt Rogers
No. Smokey Dog.
Garrett
Three. Smokey dog down the middle and.
Jack
Grilled. That's.
JP
Fire. Every time I go to a preds game, I get chicken tenders, fries. I get the. I mean, that'll be my side. And then a beer. You got to get a.
Jack
Beer. That's a classic. Good.
Garrett
Answer. D3 Reds does have low key fire.
Mitch
Concessions. D3 games and sell beer. They were just kind of tailgating.
Garrett
Out. Not even like the local dude that just like had a.
Mitch
Cooler. Well, like our parents would come and tailgate, like so our stadium. And then there was like a train track. And then behind the train tracks was like the tailgate area. So all of our friends who weren't playing would just go back there and just get up. And then. You're not allowed to. You weren't allowed to bring it into the stadium. Not that there was really an entrance to the stadium, but like it was literally like a two minute walk back to the thing. So at halftime, like, my dad would just take a couple shots of whiskey when it was cold, and then he's.

Mitch
O.Com by the time it was after, it was starting to get a little cold again. I had to go back rip a couple more to warm up but like everybody would just go back there booze even harder. And then by the time the players, the game's over and the players go back to the tailgate, everybody's already like hammered. And I had a like a drink. I had one beer after one game and I immediately caught a cramp. I'm like I can't drink right.
Matt Rogers
Now. I love when people say I'm drinking to get.
Mitch
Warmer. That is my dad to a T to like he'll what's the you're.
Garrett
Just drinking to not think about.
Mitch
That. Yeah. Because what is it like bourbon that makes you like super warm? Like he'll like if for that.
Garrett
Sip. It's not like he's like super.
Mitch
Extended release if he's cold. Like when he comes home from work one day, like he'll have like like a little bit of bourbon just to like warm himself up. Like when he's hunting, he'll come back to The Our mountain house. See Rips and bourbon to warm.
Garrett
Up. If you're actually trying to drink something to stay warm in those situations, hunting or anytime you're out in the cold, you want a thermos of bone broth. That's what you.
Matt Rogers
Want. Yeah. You should be drinking more when handling guns. Is the. What were you talking.
Mitch
About? Well, no, he'll, like. He'll do it when he gets back from hunting. He's not doing it to go out.
Matt Rogers
But. Right Dan, he's messing.
Mitch
Up. Dan's locked in.
Garrett
Man. I might have to bring a.
Jack
Thermos of some freaking, like, thermos's duty to make a comeback. That concession conversation just had me so nostalgic. Because when you're a little kid, a concession stand is the.
Matt Rogers
Mecca. Especially if your dad, like, hands you like a 10 or something. It's like, go get that. Like, just bring me some M.
Garrett
M's. And you're like, that's how you know we're old. 10 bucks was good at the concession.
Mitch
Stand. Forbid you get a 20 you're.
Jack
Getting you and 20 you're getting you and your.
Matt Rogers
Boys. Like, my dad would not be giving me my brother 20 because he knows we would get one of the most cheapest things and just pocket cash, mainly my brother, and probably buy drugs with.
Mitch
It. But my.
Garrett
Turn. My dad would give him the.
Jack
50. Shout out, Jimmy, man, he's coming home for.
Matt Rogers
Christmas. We might have to have him.
Jack
On. We have.
Garrett
To. I.
Matt Rogers
Know. I just don't know if he. I think he gets the 20th and we in here. I'm caroling. Yeah, he'll definitely come.
Garrett
Through. Wait, we'll be.
Mitch
Gone.
Garrett
Yeah. Yeah, we'll be coming.
Matt Rogers
Back. Yeah, we'll come.
Garrett
Back. We'll be back by like six that.
IBM Advertiser
Day.
Garrett
Yeah. Which is kind of.
Jack
Nice. Although that's the.
Matt Rogers
Weekend. Wait, I have one more question before we get off concessions. Did Susquehanna have a concession and was it just like the mom's growing.
Mitch
Up some burgers and like, so, like.
Jack
On a roller, High school ones. Ravenwood has great.
JP
Concessions. Oh, my.
Mitch
God. The way it worked. Like, we had like a little dog there, a little concession stand under, like the. The main, like, stadium part. Like the main seating. So it was like a little window. But it wasn't like. It was just like those frozen.
Matt Rogers
Burgers and dogs which.
Garrett
Smash. If you get a burger. If you get a burger. Hot dog served to you in.
JP
Tinfoil.
Garrett
Yep. It's going to be good, but.
Matt Rogers
It'S going to be.
Jack
Good. We never had a burger under the bleachers, bro. I could.
JP
Tell. I definitely did. Bellevue, Baseball park. Bsa, but baseball.
Mitch
Park. Well, we like what. So what our families would do, like, so everybody was just in the parking lot, obviously, tailgating stuff, but each family member or family was in charge of, like, one.
Garrett
Dish. So, like, you tell Coleman, still.
Mitch
You would, like, tailgate out there, and you just kind of go through and have a.
Garrett
Montevallo. Tailgates would get.
Mitch
Up.
Garrett
Yeah. And then half the parents are.
Mitch
Canadian. Yeah. They're revving it up at the end of the game. Like, everybody also brought, like, dinner, per se, for, like, all the players when they're done. So you literally just go back, and it's literally like a buffet line. Go hit like the Simpsons. They got wings and other type of meat. Like, we were. We always had.
Garrett
Pizza.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. And then I thought you were gonna say PB and.
Mitch
J's. We always. We. My mom would order, like, five or six pies. We put two or three out, and we would save two for the night when we would go out. And then when we come back from being out, like, you have your drunk pizza, and it was.
Matt Rogers
Unreal. Heady play.
Garrett
Man. I was gonna ask something Hetty.
JP
Forgot. Yeah, I got.
Jack
One. Joe Clay got.
Garrett
Mad. Oh, wait, hold on. You said.
Jack
Ravenwood? Yeah.
Garrett
Yeah. How'd that l.
Jack
Taste? What round did y' all get knocked.
JP
Out?
Jack
Oakland. The playoffs. Were y' all in the.
JP
Playoffs? Rebuild.
Garrett
Year? No, but I actually went to the.
Jack
School. Our.
Garrett
Issue. Our issue this year was I'm actually from the.
Jack
State. Our issue this year was we had two.
Matt Rogers
Quarterbacks. So to give context to what's going on, Garrett and I went to Brentwood High school here, located 15 minutes from us in the city of Brentwood. JP within the last couple of years, we've talked about going to a Brentwood versus Ravenwood basketball game. Because that, notoriously, they're electric. Like, they sell out in the girls games. It's hard to get in, and it's just awesome. High school basketball. JP has now fully adopted Ravenwood High School, who, if you know anything about the Williamson county or just Tennessee kind of high school sports, massive rivals. One of the biggest rivals in the state Battle of the.
Garrett
Wood. Definitely a bigger rivalry than, like, Michigan.
Matt Rogers
Claiming. He's saying we. Our issue is two quarterbacks. And so, yeah, unbelievable. We gotta go to a game.
Mitch
Bro. You're a father, Ryan. Kid, why are you.
JP
Talking? Because my ex went there. I hate.
Matt Rogers
Ravenwood. Everybody else, Ravenwood. But if we go to the Battle of the woods game, you know how it's gonna end up. You're gonna have to sit on the other.
Garrett
Side. For.
Matt Rogers
Real?
Garrett
Yeah. They're gonna go, who is.
Jack
That? Because I went to the Ravenwood Brentwood football game last year, and that's what really sparked it. I saw the tailgating scene. The.
Matt Rogers
Campus. Ravenwood's tailgate scene is sweet. They got the massive crazy, and it's like a call, like a small. No offense, Mitch, at all. I don't want to catch a stray. But I bet Ravenwood's tailgating situation is at yalls level, if not.
Garrett
Better. Because the parents were, like, condoning underage drinking.
Jack
Bro. The.
Matt Rogers
Rainbow. Parents always let you smoke and drink at their.
Garrett
Houses.
Matt Rogers
Always. Don't send your kids to.
JP
Rain. Don't do.
Matt Rogers
It.
Mitch
Or. I don't.
Jack
Know. We do gotta the. Our stadium, though. We gotta upgrade it because it.
JP
Is. Y'.
Matt Rogers
All. Y' all see all that money on the Ryan.
JP
Stadium? Have you seen Father Ryan.
Jack
Stadium?
JP
Nah. Yeah, you have stadium in the.
Matt Rogers
Country. You've passed it on the.
Jack
Internet. Is that where.
Garrett
The. It has one side right.
Matt Rogers
Across. We got both sides pretty.
Garrett
Close. What's the other.
JP
Side? We got.
Matt Rogers
Bleachers. The other.
Garrett
Side. The three bleachers. We're about to get here.
Odoo Advertiser
Y'.
JP
All. We don't care about the damn.
Garrett
Rival. You have one side of bleachers and some garbage.
JP
Turf. Best stadium in the.
Matt Rogers
Country. That's crazy, bro. Go look up Dobbins Bennett High School just in. I thought he's gonna say state. Look up Dobbins High School football.
JP
Stadium. Okay. In the state. In the.
Matt Rogers
State. No, I just said look up Dobbins Bennett High School. And you're not. Look up Oakland. Oakland has a Jordan logo above their scoreboard. They're sponsored by.
Garrett
Jordan. As a high school, you have one side of.
JP
Bleachers. Yeah, but we have Zachary as our coach. We have Zach Manberger as our.
Matt Rogers
Coach. So what did he do front of the.
Mitch
Show? I think this actually brings up a For, like, I think next year.
Garrett
Next fall, we should Inside the Bus Fall tour. Inside the Bus.
Matt Rogers
Tour. Not a bad idea. If we at least did, like, one or two, like one main game or season.
Mitch
Opener. And if we. Or if we get Brentwood.
Jack
Ravenwood.
Matt Rogers
Ravenwood. We do those game. I just hope those kids still ride.
Jack
Hard. Now I'm speaking to the team.
Garrett
Before. Right.
Matt Rogers
Now. Me and Garrett speak to him, and the guy's like, y' all don't.
Garrett
Even. Who the is that.
Mitch
Guy? That would. I think that would be. If it's not a bus I.
Garrett
Still got my photo in the trophy hall.
Jack
Son. We should.
Mitch
Go. Let me know a destroying video at a Ravenwood or Brentwood.
Jack
Thing. Just some epic one on ones. Yeah, that'll be.
Garrett
Hilarious. You know Mitch, me sizing all those high school.
Jack
Kids. Yeah, dogging.
Mitch
Them. Yeah, but they're.
Garrett
Deep. That kid's going to Georgia. Yeah, he's trash.
Mitch
Though. I mean, he hasn't seen routes like.
Garrett
Me. She plays on the.
Jack
Line. He's a left.
Garrett
Tackle. All right, enough of the unk talk.
Jack
Now. We got the questions for the Unk. If you guys want to ask questions to the uncs, please leave a comment in this episode. We'll get to it next.
Matt Rogers
Episode. You got to be 25 years or younger. I'm not fielding questions for some. Some kid I was in the same age range of high school with. So we're not that.
Mitch
Old. Put your age in the comment.
Jack
Too. Matt is.
JP
24.
Jack
23. 23. You're Jordan.
JP
Here. 24 in a month. 24 in a month. I also have one.
Mitch
More. Yeah, bro, that is so crazy. I started.
Garrett
Here. 24 year old.
JP
Intern. Yeah, that's.
Jack
Crazy. That's ahead of all of us. Low.
Mitch
Key. All right, bro. I'm a 27 year old intern still, according to.
Matt Rogers
Jack.
Garrett
Yeah. Hell.
JP
Yeah. In the contacts, am I Matt Malone, intern. Any else?
Mitch
Context?
Jack
No. In my.
Garrett
615. Yeah, 615. Broke.
JP
Boy. All right, I liked this one. To start it off, what's something you thought mattered in your 20s, but absolutely does not matter.
Jack
Now? Damn, you can take that one, Jack. I'm still.
Matt Rogers
20. Honestly, I feel like I'm learning this like here at like my old age of 31, like in the last year. But it's just like going out and like partying all the time. I. I love being like social. Like, I. I used to like a ton. I used to be going out every weekend. I had to be there. I had to be at every party. I wanted to be with all my friends. If there was a gathering, that was a big deal in my head. I. I just like the camaraderie, the socializing. Now I value being on my couch on the weekends alone, not drinking at Titans games. I'm not sitting here being like, I'm a reformed man. Like, I'm going to a concert tonight. We'll most likely.
Garrett
Dr.
Matt Rogers
Beers. But I now don't feel the need to make an appearance to everything I get invited to. So you don't have to like be Mr. Cool and like, I don't care about this and that. But, like, if you have to miss something, don't get in your head that, like, you're gonna miss the best night of your life, but you might miss the best night of your life. So think about that, too, before saying no to the.
JP
Party. I definitely struggle with FOMO right.
Matt Rogers
Now. Yeah, FOMO is a big thing, man. It just takes a few years of just, like, being, like, man, this stuff really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of it. Like, building concrete relationships, like, having hobbies outside of your work, exercising. Things like that, to me, are very important. So I think that is something I like. I'm currently in the process of learning. So it feels good to, like, kind of start being on the other.
Garrett
Side. I would agree with that. And you. You caught a glimpse of it when you came over, what, a couple weeks ago when it's like, those types of hangs are way more fun to me than going to, like, try and yell and show face at a bar. Now, I, like, I will enjoy going out, but, like, I. I would agree with Jack in that I feel.
Jack
That you really listening, man. I'm proud of.
Matt Rogers
You. JP's out.
Odoo Advertiser
Here.
Garrett
Geek. That took the headphones off for that.
Jack
Answer. That's a good question.
Matt Rogers
Nephew. That.
Jack
Is. Appreciate.
Matt Rogers
It. Y' all have.
Mitch
Anything? I'm still in my.
Garrett
20S. Yeah, let me.
Matt Rogers
Think. So are you guys just asking me and Gary these.
Garrett
Questions? I would say, like, I just remember, especially young 20s, like, right out of school. I used to. I guess this kind of parlays into what Jack's saying, but, like, my. One of the things I hated the most is, like, when you would go somewhere and people would just be like, so, what do you want to do for work? Like, what are you chasing after? And that used to drive me crazy being younger. And now, obviously, it helps having this job for as many years as I've had, more comfortability in it. But growing into the phase of just being like, this is what I do. This is what I want to do, and being okay with it. Like, kind of going in the lane of not having to show face at every event, but it's just about, like, being comfortable with who you are. And that only will come with age. Yeah, real.
Mitch
Spiel. I mean, kind of, like, talk to me, Mitch. Piggyback. I, like, I just thought of this because it's kind of what my friend group is going through right now. Just high school.
Garrett
Drama. It's like, tell us.
Mitch
More. I don't know who's.
Jack
Watching. Come on.
Mitch
Goody. And it wasn't.
JP
Good. We saw Gabe.
Mitch
Today. Yeah, that's what Gabe. That's what Chef.
Jack
Said.
Mitch
Yeah. But it's like in the reality of the, like everything that is going on, like, it doesn't matter, like, if what isn't there like a rule, Like a three minute, three hour, three day rule or.
Jack
Something. Yeah, I know what you're referring.
Mitch
To. If, like, if it doesn't like three minutes, if it still matter, if it doesn't matter in three minutes or it doesn't matter in three days, it's not going to matter in three minutes kind of thing. I think I completely botched.
Garrett
That. I think I know that's my framework though.
Mitch
Yeah. Like, if, if someone is like a. No. Or like if you think the world is ending, it's not. If, like someone is pissed off at you, like, and is mad at you for some reason, like, who fucking cares? Like in. I have just, I'm just at my wits end of the, that I'm. We're dealing with in my friend group. So it's like somebody just needs to grow up and like you can be that person to grow up and like. All right, it, let's, let's just let bygones be.
Garrett
Bygones. It is, it's interesting because like, obviously you're just a couple years younger than us, but when you do get to an age where you see where some people have like past that point, some people are in the middle of passing that can't decide what. Which way they want to go on that point. And then the ones that are not even close to it. It's weird. Like when you get older and.
Mitch
You just observe, you can really see where people are at. Like, because I feel like I'm, I'm beyond the point. And then I think the. Whoever I'm talking about is in the middle and way.
Garrett
Below.
Mitch
Yeah. And it's just like annoying because it's like you two know you're going to be around each other. Like, that's just the facts of it. You need to accept.
Garrett
That. I really wish you would use.
Mitch
Names. It's.
JP
Schle.
Garrett
Wow. That was easy. That was easy. I won't say bleep them. I won't say who will bleep.
Mitch
Them. I'm on, like, I'm on both sides because I understand why both is mad at each other. But it's also like, grow up.
Jack
Yes. Yeah. I don't even have to.
Garrett
Know. Step out in the yard and.
Jack
Fight about it because I know these two are friends and it's like. And even if they're not boys, boys, it's like, what in the world are you gonna get at? What are you going to accomplish Being mad at each other.
Mitch
Bro? And it is. I. I'll tell you all once we're done, but it is the most ridiculous thing of all time. And I, like, I just want to scream at both of them, like, grow the.
JP
Up. Is it about a.
Mitch
Woman? And I've had. I've had conversations with both of them, and, like, one of them's more than the other, like, more ready to kind of move on and, like, yeah, let bygones be bygones than the other. And it's just not. And it's like, holy, guys, we.
Jack
Might have to have them all. We got two of.
Garrett
Them. Oh, my gosh. We have our own Florida Georgia Line.
Jack
Moment. I don't.
Mitch
Know. I don't know how that would.
Jack
Go. We'll make it work, I think. Only one more thing to add on Garrett's point when he was talking about people asking you and getting frustrated when you're young, like, hey, what do you want to do? What's next for you? What's your goal? Because it is an annoying question at that time period, and you do have time. But I think it's so important to have a goal and have something to say. It doesn't have to be this specific, detailed response, but I was listening to something, and it's just like, the goal is not the. Is not the important part of it. The important part is having a direction to live in. And when you have a goal, it creates a direction. And I think in your 20s, if you can have the direction, it changes everything. For your 30s, for.
Garrett
Sure. That's a great.
Matt Rogers
One. Well, before we go, I wanted to add one positive spin, because I feel like I went through this, and I feel like everyone has gone through this. There's always a moment in your early 20s when there's a trip taking place with your friends, and financially, you're not at the point to make it work. I'm not about to sit here and tell you you should be financially smart and say, take the.
Jack
Trip. Take.
Matt Rogers
It. Unless you are dirt poor and have nothing and you're using your rent money. I'm not saying that. But if you have enough money to float the trip, or maybe you can borrow, like, a couple hundred bucks from a buddy to pay him back, take the trip. I think that those trips are the most invaluable time that you can find. And so my only advice is just don't get too caught up financially if it's not, like, the end of the world type financial situation, which I know people are in. But take the trip, value your time with your friends and. And just get out.
Garrett
There.
Mitch
Yep. Yeah. That like, 100. You saying that kind of trust your gut. We haven't had our. Our boys golf trip, and, like, it's all my college buddies in, like, two years, and it's like, fuck.
Garrett
Dude. Like, when are you gonna get it.
Mitch
Back? Yeah, because, you know, like, as soon as. Because we did it, like, five or six years in a row. Four or five years in a row, and then as soon as you miss one, it's like, yeah, well, we didn't do it last year. Like, so you really like that? I'm. I know. I see all my boys at caroling and on our Myrtle beach golf trip, and, like, now.
Garrett
We.
Mitch
It's. There's no Myrtle beach golf trip, so it's like, all right. I see my friends once a year. Like, the people. Like, I do care about y'.
Garrett
All get it back.
Mitch
Though. Yeah. And, like, you got.
Matt Rogers
You. Maybe. I take that initiative, and it's. Get that group.
Garrett
Chat. It's okay to go through phases. Like, you'll go in and out of phases, and it's all.
Mitch
Good. You're saying this is more of a. If.
Garrett
My. You're speaking to specific people in this.
Mitch
Episode. If my. If my friends are watching, we need to make it happen.
Garrett
Again. Damn, I'm glad you have a public platform.
Mitch
To. I mean. I mean, it's not like I'm mad at anybody for that.
Garrett
One. Okay.
Jack
Man. All right, nephew, you got.
JP
Nephew. All right, let's see if y' all like this one. What's one chore you hated doing in your 20s, but now surprisingly.
Garrett
Satisfying? Chores and.
Jack
20S. It is a great.
Matt Rogers
One. Chores when you're 20, let's just say, like, high.
Garrett
School. Like your own.
JP
Responsibility. Yeah, like. Like when you're an apartment. Like, clean your apartment or click cleaning or, like, anything that now you're like. You get excited for changing your.
Jack
Sheets. I don't hate that one at.
JP
All. I still don't change my.
Jack
Sheets. Dang.
JP
Man. I do. But it takes a.
Mitch
While. Like, there's something about just. You put the fresh sheets on the bed. It's super, like, tight on the bed, and it just smells good, and you just want.
Matt Rogers
To. Oh, yeah, I feel.
Garrett
You. They a clean long. They ain't clean for.
Jack
Long.
Garrett
Shoot. I don't.
Jack
Know. And let's see. I think one for me, actually. God, I hope my parents don't hear this one because I have to be doing it all the time. But I, like, kind of enjoy the process of washing dishes because I. I think I'm able to. To shut everything out. And when I was a kid, I hated it because I was never doing it right. I mean, I wasn't using enough elbow grease, all this bull crap. And now I'm like, man, it feels good even when there's a pile to have something clean, finish it or have something dirty, finish it. Now it's clean. You feel like you accomplished something.
Mitch
But put up, put some music on.
Garrett
That. I was listening to somebody and I don't remember what it is, but I feel like it maybe was a Chris episode or something. But I think the joy in that is seeing it was the obstacle and completing it. And it's something as simple as that. Like, that will just give you that satisfaction of like, I did.
Jack
That.
Garrett
Right. It's such a small victory. I agree. I. I don't mind cleaning the dishes because, yeah, you do get to kind of just be in that moment for a second. And I'm also somebody that has a hard time with delegating. So if I want it done a certain way, I'm just gonna get it done. And I grew up where you have dishwashers, but somehow your parents are like, we don't use that. You're gonna use your hands. And so I always just wash dishes in the sink. And I'm still that.
Mitch
Way. I feel like it's more efficient.
Garrett
To do so for some things for.
Jack
Sure. And I do. I think I also like, kind of hate unloading the.
Mitch
Dishwasher. Yeah, I feel like I never know how to load it.
Jack
Right.

Garrett
Com. Hey.
Matt Rogers
Everyone. Ed Helms here. And hi, I'm Kal Penn, and we're the hosts of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook.
Jack
Club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Jenny Garth, host of the iHeart podcast. I choose me to discuss the new Audible adaptation of the timeless Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice. This is not a trick.
JP
Question. There's no wrong.
Jack
Answer. What role would I.
Garrett
Play? You know.
Matt Rogers
What? But I can see you as Mr. Darcy. You got a little Colin.
Jack
Firth. Okay, that's really sweet. I appreciate that, but are you sure I'm not the dad? I'm not Mr. Bennett here. Listen to Earsay the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your.
Mitch
Podcasts, which is.
Garrett
Like. What do you mean.
Mitch
Bro? Like, I'll. I'll put stuff in there. Like this. This happened a.
Garrett
Lot. Hold.
Matt Rogers
On. It just. Top row look.
Garrett
Crazy. I just know you got the cups in there. Water still in the.
Mitch
Cup. No, no, I. It's the opposite. I don't have enough stuff in there because when I, like when I live with foul in our apartment, that would be packed to the brim and, like, stuff was still dirty when it, like, the dishwasher was done. So, like, in my head, I would just put less stuff in there. And, like, I feel like I'm not strategic enough to, like, where I put my stuff that I run out of room super quickly. But then, like, so, like, Brook will open the dishwasher. Oh, there's so much more room in here. I'm like.
Garrett
Where. Hold on. Are you putting like a. Like a skillet pan in.
Mitch
There? I have before, but I don't do it all the.
Garrett
Time. That's a hand wash to me for.
Mitch
Sure. Like a night. Like, I'll typically hand wash it. Like, sometimes I'll put plates, bowl, silverware, cups.
Garrett
Dishwasher. For me, anything bigger than that I will.
Mitch
Do. Yeah. Like, I wash my crock pot wash my electric griddle wash Like a pan if I'm using it.
Garrett
Something. Do you have a.
Mitch
Stovetop? Yeah.
Garrett
But I don't know how to work.
Mitch
It. No, I know how to work it. It's so much quicker. Yeah, it was like 25.
Garrett
Bucks. I'm trying to think of another one. Man, she's.
Matt Rogers
Hilarious. Yeah, she was a good one. I feel that I, I truly enjoy like it or washing the dishes. When I was a kid, I like a weird texture thing with like feeling old food in the sink. It grossed me out. Now I'm like, yeah, I love, I love completing that.
Garrett
Task. You put music.
Matt Rogers
On. But mine though, it's not necessarily a chore, more of like a privilege. But is grocery shopping slash cooking, which also folds into the dishwashing, but couldn't be me.
Garrett
Cooking. Yes, it's Hate grocery.
Matt Rogers
Shopping. When you come into a kitchen and it's a clean kitchen, you do your whole process of cooking, eating, clean up, and then get it back to right where it was. That is a great feeling to.
Jack
Victory. Clean as you.
Matt Rogers
Go. Take a deep breath. Yeah, same. I like to do that as well. But you take that deep breath, everything's right back to where it was. Hit the light switch.
Garrett
Bam. Yeah, I wish I was, I wish I was better at grocery shopping. In my mind, I know what I want to accomplish, like cooking throughout the week. But it, it's not translating. Like it can I put here, but it's not.
Matt Rogers
Translating. I want to put some people on game here. And maybe this is game, maybe.
Jack
It'S not it you did, you got us.
Garrett
Going. Nephew, I might have some grace.
Matt Rogers
When we out of here. If you go to the grocery and you find yourself not knowing what to purchase or that you buy too much, especially on the side of buying too much. What I found works the best is do not even look at a cart. You grab the hand basket. And this also will dual thread as a little workout as well. Because you fill the basket up that last five minutes, those shoulders start screaming. But what I figured out is I, I get the exact same stuff at the grocery with a variation of maybe one or two items, but it's always two proteins, greens. I get a couple protein bars, iced coffee. I actually got blueberries one day. I get blue, I get frozen blueberries and Greek yogurt as like a little healthy dessert. Dessert. Yep. But by the time you get to a full, full cart, full basket, you realize you can realistically only spend max, maybe a hundred dollars. And that's if you get some like high grade meat that's gonna really chunk up up that price. But if you have a problem with maybe spending too much money. Don't look at a cart. Hold the basket. Make sure you switch hands so you can get both.
Garrett
Shoulders. This is a day one. Don't go.
Matt Rogers
Hungry. Oh my.
Garrett
God. Don't go hungry. You don't go. Yeah. Definitely don't do.
Mitch
That. I don't think that hearing your list.
Garrett
Is. You gotta have like compared to.
Jack
Mine.
Garrett
What? Jack said your staples with a little mixture.
Mitch
Variation. You want to know what I get when I.
Matt Rogers
Get. You don't have to reinvent the wheel at the grocery.

Release Date: December 12, 2025
Hosts: Will Compton & Taylor Lewan (absent), Inside the Bus (Jack, Garrett, Mitch, JP), Guest/Moderator Matt Rogers
Theme: A nostalgic, free-flowing hang with the original Bussin’ With The Boys producers and crew, swapping old stories, reflecting on lessons learned in their 20s, college football culture, and a deep dive into stadium food and practical life advice.
This is a classic, informal episode featuring the OG "Inside the Bus" crew—a spin-off with the original Bussin’ With The Boys producers and contributors. With Will and Taylor out for media travels, Jack, Garrett, Mitch, JP, and guest host Matt Rogers unpack a week full of SEC Championship highlights, share nostalgic stories about college football and stadium food, and dive into the “Unk” wisdom: practical advice about life, friendships, and growing up, all in the typical, irreverent, and conversational Bussin’ House style.
[03:16-07:01]
[07:08-09:46]
[10:11-11:38]
[12:01-18:40]
An in-depth and comedic draft of the crew’s favorite stadium foods/concessions.
Quote: “If you have three items to get at a concession stand... what’s your go-to?” – Jack, kicking off this segment [11:45]
[17:27-22:06]
[29:00-32:40]
[33:39-41:28]
[42:27-49:14]
[54:58-56:51]
[56:52-59:41]
[26:15, 61:49-63:39]
On College Football Fan Culture:
“The gap between SEC fan bases and Big Ten fan bases is astronomical.”
– Jack (08:36)
On Adulting:
“I love completing that task [of washing dishes]... That will just give you that satisfaction of like, I did that.”
– Matt Rogers (48:51)
On Life Advice:
“If you have enough money to float the trip, or maybe you can borrow a couple hundred bucks from a buddy to pay him back, take the trip.”
– Matt Rogers (40:46)
On Stadium Snacks:
“I feel like at games and stadiums, they’re bigger—like a pretzel. I love a pretzel. Then I’ll get peanut M&Ms and a blue Powerade.”
– Mitch (12:33)
On Outgrowing FOMO:
“I now don’t feel the need to make an appearance at everything I get invited to... don’t get in your head that you’re gonna miss the best night of your life, but—you might.”
– Matt Rogers (34:32)
Conversational, irreverent, full of banter and self-deprecating humor, but shaded with genuinely insightful “old head” advice. The vibe is one of earnest nostalgia, playful teasing, and humble recognition of growing up (without growing boring).
If you miss the glory days of tailgates, want to reminisce about the dumb things you used to care about, or just love hearing friends give each other hell while sharing legit wisdom and food tips, this episode is your jam. It offers a unique, behind-the-scenes look at the Bussin’ universe, where the producers take center stage and mix both life and sports talk—the bus, after all, is always moving forward.
