G
Happy Thanksgiving.

As a, as a young buck in the league, I would always sit there in the dog days of camp and Mike Sullivan would sit there and as I'm sweating grabbing some water, you'd always go, hey, man, you're gonna blink and you'll be in Thanksgiving. And it always gave you that extra piece you needed during the dog days of camp to get through that day. And here we are, boys. Thanksgiving, the biggest week of college football is about to take place this Friday and Saturday. A lot of implications when it comes to the NFL. It's an exciting time to be alive.
G
Yeah.
A
Is it the best week of the year?
H
Yes, it's definitely top three because you.
G
Got a short week.
A
Short week.
G
Everybody travel safe on Wednesday. Be a lot of traffic out there. And yeah, I mean, there is a. There is a great argument there. Some people get lucky enough, like you school, you get the fall break. Some people lucky enough you'll get Wednesday through the weekend off.
B
Yeah.
G
You got games.
A
Rivalry weekend.
G
Rivalry weekend. And just a moment to chill too. Like, I'm. I'm fired up that we're not doing the. We don't have the stream. We don't have ESPN this Thursday. Right.
B
It's fun to do those things.
G
But yeah, it is fun to do.
B
It's nice to get Our own little type of bye week.
G
Yeah. Like knowing in our mind we're gonna have. We're gonna get to have some stress free of weekend ball and gratitude.
B
Sit there. Friends, family, loved ones.
G
Yeah. I feel what you mean. There'll be stress with your team but.
B
When it comes to performing for espn, getting prepared, watching all the games work on your mind. Yeah. What am I going to talk about? What's my takes those types of things. Like there's never like you don't have that worry this week. Like tomorrow we're going to run by the seat of our pants doing the locker room both college football, NFL. Not a whole lot of time to prepare. So we're just having good vibes Thanksgiving talking about some rival we football taking place. Gonna be a lot of fun Thursday boys coming over, bringing the family.
G
Who else is going to Taylor's on.
B
The bus, Shermy's Mitchie. I'm going.
G
Mitch always ready for Mitch is always.
B
Mitch might stay at my house from Thursday to Sunday.
I
Mitch and foul will be there.
B
Hell yeah, they will.
A
Yeah.
B
Hell yeah. I think Matt, your fantasy football teammate is coming as well.
G
Yeah, there we go.
B
Matt's going to be there. He's going to bring his family. I think that might be it.
F
Ryan.
B
Is it Ryan? Ryan's bringing his family as well. Yeah, the young bucks.
G
Young Sean from and Sherm had it up on the screen. But again, reminder, be safe on Wednesday. Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving is fourth overall for DUI R s. So be smart, be smart, be safe. Don't drink it. Don't drink and drive.
B
Uber, Uber.
G
Uber, Uber. Were you guys. I would love to hear some stories because don't.
F
Don't.
G
A lot of people though, like go back. They go back home, they hit the local bar night before Thanksgiving, go for.
B
A walk with your cousins.
G
Yeah, I felt like that was always something I heard about too. Like playing college and everything else. Like people getting back to the. Being back at their local spot, hitting the watering hole.
J
Blackout Wednesday.
G
Blackout Wednesday. No.
B
Okay, so that's what some game on Blackout Wednesday.
J
Yeah, I. I've dabbled in it a few years from time to time.
B
Oh yeah.
J
I think I've grown out of that. I'm going down to Atlanta, visit my sister, her husband, their kids. So I will most likely be playing Call of Duty in their living room, which I couldn't be more excited about. But yeah, Blackout Wednesday. I think it's just great. If. Especially for me personally. I've lived in Nashville for majority of my life, so I can Imagine if you live out of state, let's say you live in New York. You come home, you see the fellas again. Maybe you go, like, hit a pregame in your buddy's basement. You guys used to hang in all the time. Just the vibes are there. I. Yeah, maybe some carol. Well, caroling. What you do caroling. Yeah, you're a month ahead, but yeah. Blackout Wednesday. It seems like a good time just getting to recreate some old memories with your fellas. Drink one too many beers, maybe go play some pool. You know, there's nothing better than not having to travel for Thanksgiving. Yeah, I'm gonna have to drive down to Atlanta. Very excited to see my niece and my sister and my brother in law. But the Nashville to Atlanta commute on a normal day can really promote a little bit of anxiety, some stress, and I'm sure it's only going to be worse on Wednesday.
G
Some rage.
J
Yeah, some rage. But if you're one of those guys, it's partisan. Or girls participating in blackout Wednesday.
B
Take the Uber.
J
Have a. Have a dd. You're at this age, or at least I am, where there's some people who don't drink. Have them come out with you. Get the Uber back. Who knows? But yeah, be safe.
B
Be safe.
H
Some call it Blackout Wednesday. Jack's calling it Black Ops Wednesday.
B
Very nice, G. Very nice.
G
It is. It is fun to kind of just slum it up, like, knowing that there's not a whole lot. You get kind of eat food, stuff your belly, play games, engage with people, tell. Tell a family member, hey, Trump's really doing a good job, isn't he?
B
Yeah. Knowing that they. They sit on the other side, you.
G
Leave the room, you get the party started.
B
Yeah, I'm big on going in and being like, hey, this person's a big Trump person. This person's big Kamala person. And letting them be like, what'd you say? What was it? And then they kind of just let that. Let that marinate as I dip and go somewhere else. Like, I love to stoke a fire and leave.
G
Yeah, we really messed up not getting Kamala in the office. And then just let the crazy uncle, you know, an aunt or a niece on the other side, they're barking at each other. Then you just walk out of the room.
B
Ninja smoke gone. I do love that, man. I got.
G
We miss Biden. And then just let the war ensue.
B
Let the war. Yeah, man, it's great, man. It's a great time of year. Comps will be there. We're gonna have A good time. The most buttered turkey. That's up for grabs. I'm not partaking this year. I have gout.
A
How many years running Were you champion?
B
1. The first year we did it.
G
The most buttered turkey.
B
Yeah, it was. Who could gain the most weight? So you would come to Thanksgiving, stand on the scale. Who could gain the most? Last year I gained 20 pounds.
I
Yeah. What was I, like, five?
B
Yeah. But it was weeks in advance. Yeah.
I
Didn't work out.
B
I think I had, like, six bagels before dinner even took place, so.
G
So you don't get to participate in the. The Thanksgiving feast.
B
Nah, dude, I'm.
G
What's the update? Update the people everybody's worried about.
B
Okay, so gouts, It's. I think we're fully on it. Is for sure. Gout. The worry of the infection. After we shut the locker room, when I got the text from my doctor saying, hey, tester abnormal. I go after. This is my third appearance at the ER in, like, less than a week. We get blood work done again. They start doing the blood work. And then I go to Dr. Petty, who is the orthopedic surgeon for the Titans. Meet him, and he pulls blood out of my ankle. I sent you guys a photo. We can put that up, too. For those watching this show on YouTube. Pulls the fluid out of my ankle. You saw how big my ankle was. Then just think about that. Much more fluid in it. They take that test, and so then what they do is they put it for multiple tests, one for inflammation, one for infection, which is they have to do, like, a culture on it. Is that what it's called where you have to sit, like, put it in this little, like, test tube or a little, like, tray and let the bacteria grow to see what kind of infection it is, if it is an infection. And then what you do with gout is you take a little bit that blood put under a microscope, and if the white blood cells. The white cells are crystallizing, then you know that you have gout in your hands. Very rarely is it gout and infection. This situation seems to be the worst case of gout any man has probably ever had in their entire life.
G
History's ever seen.
B
This is, you know, when kings and queens ruled the earth type of disease, like, where they didn't know. And they just kept eating through it and it got worse and worse. Like, that's what I was kind of dealing with. Multiple medrol dose packs, multi anti inflammatories, multiple gout type of prescriptions, pain medicine. It was. I was telling you about this on Saturday, bro. It was the most horrific situation I've ever gone through in my life. Yeah, awful, dude. Couldn't walk. Sat there with my wife. Like, it was Friday morning and I'm kind of. I can't get comfortable. I'm in pain all the time with small bouts. If I can get, like, in a comfortable position where I have like four to five minutes of kind of being comfortable before it all just restarts again. And I'm making these noises. She's sitting there, like, playing a switch. She's playing the Pokemon game on a switch, like. And I was thinking to myself, like, you are a big, strong man and your wife has to see you like this. And I kind of look at Taylor and I go, can you do me a favor? She's like. I was like, can you, like, leave the room? I hate. I hate this. And she's like, yeah, okay. And just kind of leaves. And then I'm like, really in pain. The pain medicine starts to take over and I'm, like, starting to calm down a little bit. And I think, like, okay, you could have probably been rude to Taylor the way you were, like, in pain. I'm not sure how I delivered that message. So I text her. I'm like, hey, I'm really sorry if I came off as an asshole. I'm just in so much pain. And, like, I kind of. I want you to view me as a strong man. And I feel like what I am right now is not that. Talon's text back to me is almost a full line of HA's and goes, Taylor, that's not really your MO. And that. That fucking hurt, dude. That fucking. She's like, you're not like the big tough guy. That's not you. That's not who you are. And I go, hey, what the fuck are you talking about? And then she comes in the room. She's explaining me. She's like, taylor, like, when it's nighttime, like, you get scared at night. Like, if we hear a noise in the dark, like, you're like, come with me. And I'm like, that's strategic, Taylor. Like, if we separate and someone quietly chloroforms me in the corner, like, you're not going to know and you're going to be worried. We might as well stay together so we know what the issue is in front of us. She's like, yeah, but, you know, what about you and snakes? I was like, those are serpents. They're demons. And she starts kind of going through these things, and I'm like you like you, dude. That's not.
I
How were they kicking you while you're down?
B
That's how it felt.
A
You know who this reminds me of?
B
Tell me.
A
Sherm, get ready to pull this up. You're gonna love this. It's like when Mr. Krabs is going back to his reunion with his war buddies and he was used to be all armor abs Crabs. But he doesn't want to show up because he has now shedded his. His armor. And when you see naked Mr. Krabs.
B
That'S what my body looks like right now.
A
That would be the comparison I'd give you for from that story.
B
That sucks, dude. Thank you.
A
But is accurate.
B
That is accurate. Yep. It's more accurate than Mitch calling me a vegetable last week. So I guess we'll take it the.
A
End of the episode, Mr. Krabs on top. They're like, just accept it. Be yourself. We love you. You're always armor abs.
B
I can't. I can't accept this.
A
Not yet, but you will be able to.
B
Yeah. No, no, no. I cannot accept this. I know, but this product we have right now, you look in the mirror and. And you just go, someday this will be better. And that's all I can hang my hat on is the potential, the opportunity to be better after this. Because like we talked about in the NFL recap with Greg, I set my alarm for 6:00am this morning. My alarm went off at 6:00am oh, no. I woke up at 8, and I came here. So that's how. That's. I'm having a tough time starting. And it's the worst time to start. What would be your New Year's resolution? Because you're. You're a month away for some holiday food, man. Yeah. And I have to sit there when you come over for Thanksgiving and I see your full, beautiful plate mushed together. Mashed potatoes, the stuff in the turkey gravy drizzled all over it. Taylor's gonna bake. And, you know, Taylor's baking goods are some of my favorite, especially the cinnamon rolls. And I'm gonna sit there with carrots and celery, and it's like sitting at the kids table. I probably should be put at the kids table. Like, oh, what you got? I got an autoimmune disease or some. I'll.
G
I'll do my best not to.
B
Yeah, I got allergies.
G
I'll do my best.
B
Pushing my glasses up.
A
And if you could.
B
That's my. That's my Thanksgiving plate right there. Not the Getty Images Portion.
A
But if you could select one food to eat from the Thanksgiving spread, which food would you choose?
B
I would choose the. The cinnamon rolls that Taylor makes. And it's not close over there.
G
How about from a traditional Thanksgiving feast? Like, take. Yeah, I mean, I guess pies. It can be in there.
B
To me, dude, it's not about one thing. And Thanksgiving, like, I like the getting a multitude of things and mashing it together into one, like a slop.
A
I'm presenting you your reality right now, though. You got one item that you might be able to choose. Which item do you choose?
B
Presenting you your reality? Probably mashed potatoes and gravy, I think. Come on. I think that would have to be it. Didn't you say.
J
Did you say you can eat turkey? Turkey and chicken?
B
Yeah, but sparingly. But, dude, like we were talking about before the show took place, like, I am.
G
Like, taking a piece of turkey and just throwing it.
B
Yeah.
G
Throwing it on this plate.
B
Yeah. Can't have too much and try to get it. You should do that, dude, because I'm gonna be walling around hopefully out of boot by then. And it's like, yeah, I'll look at the cranberries and I'll think, lots of sugar in that turkey. I can have maybe one piece before my gallon flares up. Stuffing, bro. Probably can't have that. I don't even know what's in stuff. I don't think anybody actually knows what's in stuffing. Even people that make stuffing don't know what's in stuffing right yet. Delicious. Probably can't have it. There's gonna be Mac and cheese staring me in the face. Hey, but the sweet potato casserole, the positive with the marshmallows on top. Melted, bro.
A
It's like a fighter having the weight cut before a Thanksgiving fight.
B
Yeah.
A
Why would you choose?
B
Like, think of the fight. There's a fight taking place on December 6, and those fighters are. Me and them are in the same position this year. Can't get it. You can look at it, but you can't touch. It's a fragile display.
G
But the upside, though, if you're out of your boot, you'd be feeling much better.
B
Yeah. That's when the brain has to be strong.
G
Yeah.
B
And you. And there's going to be a period where you catch me in the corner huffing a cinnamon roll. You know, I might be like Ben Stiller from dodgeball, dude. Like, smell. And then stuffing it down my pants. Like, that's what might happen.
G
Take bites of it and then just spit it out.
B
Yeah, maybe I'll do that, dude.
G
Takes bites just standing over the trash can. That tasted good.
B
That's gonna be me. I'll be Ben Stiller, dude.
G
Yeah.
B
We're in a tough position right now because, like, it's not just Thanksgiving, bro. It's like the next six months of my life. I take more tests. I have to do, like allergy things, stool samples. Eat, essentially a vegetarian diet. I can have eggs and, like, eggs, fish and a little bit of turkey and chicken. But like a little bit other than that, I'm eating eggs, which is great. I love eggs. I need a confidence booster, right? I need a ribeye in front of me. And I need to know that this ribeye is going to help me, not hurt me. And here I am, dude. I'm a vegetarian right now. Could. Yeah, could. How do you get ripped on a veget on a vegetarian's diet?
A
Look at all the weights, man.
B
Pe, protein, beans. Yeah. Plant based powder.
A
Tom Brady Djokovic.
B
Tom Brady has never been jacked, bro.
A
Djokovic is cut up.
B
I look like Tom Brady's combine photo. That's what this body looks like right now. Just like.
G
Yeah, we'll get you. We'll get you healthy.
B
I look like. I look like Josh Allen ran at the combine. That said, like my body, if my body was a movement, it'd be Josh Allen's 40 yard dash.
G
That's you. We'll get you healthy and I might sneak you to McDonald's. Tell them. Tell it.
B
Tell.
G
Tell you. Hey, we won't tell nobody.
B
Yeah.
G
Moderation.
B
Yeah. I can't even do the walk this year. Like a piece of me wants to get cooked in the corner of the house. Dude.
C
What?
B
Walk the walk. Cuz if I do that, you know where the brain goes? You know, Cinnamon rolls. I can't. You know, you. You know the walk. You and I have gone on the hundreds of walks together. 45 minutes before dinner takes place, you look at you, you look at your boys, you look at your boys and you're like, hey, let's go take a walk. You take a walk. Lighter comes out. Mom's home. Go back inside or ready to fucking eat.
H
Yeah.
B
Huh?
G
Just take a walk before the Thanksgiving feast.
I
Yeah.
B
Not an actual walk.
G
Like, yeah, get the tummy ready.
B
Yeah. Yep. All right. Go to Radnor Lake. Hit the trails. You understand?
J
I don't think he does.
G
Yeah, yeah.
F
The walk.
B
Explain to me the walk. Without being cute. Yeah, without being cute.
G
You go outside, you take a walk, you do the mom's home. To get you nice and excited and get the instinct going to just demolish food.
B
All right. He gets it, right? Yeah. No, he doesn't. Mom's home. He understands that. And if he understands that, he understands what we're talking about.
G
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Which is that a God tier event.
A
You gotta rate walks there. That could be a great list.
B
That might be top three walk.
I
I've never done it.
H
Frank's walk's got to be on that list.
G
Get some Vitas. Got your system.
B
Yeah.
I
I've never done it.
B
You should do it this year.
I
I would if I. If I get invited. If I get invited onto the walk. Because I haven't been invited before, but I would.
J
No.
H
You can do your own walk.
B
Yeah, you could. You just go by yourself, see other people on walks. But that's nice. I don't have a solo walk. Yeah, foul.
A
You and Falcon go on a walk.
B
Sit at the dinner table, pretend like nothing's up, like you're an adult. No one's gonna judge you, but you're still, like, trying to pretend like nothing's going on.
I
I'd be a bot. Just.
B
Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's him.
G
Mouth open.
B
Yeah. What? You know. You know what's crazy? We're all here together. We are?
I
Yeah, we are.
A
I got something to say.
B
Yeah, I guess. Yeah. Oh, here it comes. Here comes.
G
This shut me down for a couple minutes and I'm napping on the couch, bro.
B
What are you thankful for, bro? I'm thankful for y'. All. This, like, is this.
G
Not this moment?
B
Hell, yeah. Well, hell, yeah.
G
Think about how we can breathe the same air together.
B
Right?
G
And now this moment in time. Right?
B
Don't finish the thought. That's textbook. Textbook. Yeah. The walk. The walk might be. That's something Derek should do. Yeah. Top 10 walks.

Yeah. Clump, put your phone away. No, no, no, no. Put your description for our show. You can do that. No, no, no, Clump, you can do that later. Wait till this conversation that involves you. We've been doing this for 20 minutes and it is about you. That's why phone.
J
So again, if you listen to the show, you know that about a month ago Clump decided he was going to be affiliated to a college team for the rest of his life. And he was very adamant on who he was choosing. It went from Tennessee to Vanderbilt to Florida. He decides on Florida. Last week, Club says Florida's going to beat the out of Tennessee in the swamp. What happened? Florida got their dick kicked in Clump now saying that the signing day was a was 12th December. Now is the 4th December 3rd. Clump is now retracting his fandom from Florida, going, I haven't officially committed to anything. I'm not a Florida fan. He goes, vandy is gonna beat the out of Tennessee. So now Clump is saying that he didn't actually choose Florida. He's not a fan of that. He's waiting till the 4th to decide. So what I'm hearing, though, is that Clump truly just isn't a fan of anything. He. And we knew this. We knew this. Clump is just a troll, but he acted like he was gonna be a real Florida fan. And he sat here. He didn't watch one play of the game while it. While it went on versus Tennessee versus Florida. The biggest Florida fan on the bus didn't watch one play live, look at the basket, and was texting me.
B
How are you texting him without watching any part of the game?
G
I hope everybody on audio could just see the Passion of Jack right now.
B
Grab a mic. There's two mics and a timeouts.
G
Not.
B
There's no timeouts in life.
G
We'll get to the.
C
All the other stuff. But texting you. I wasn't texting you anything. We had Tennessee Moneyline in the fanduel bus with the boys parlay, which did cash. Tennessee Money line was in that. It did Cash I want. So I was just texting that. That I saw that Tennessee was being them. But, yeah, I was, you know, hanging out with the kids a little Saturday night. Didn't watch the game. Hung out.
J
I was hanging out with my kids. I didn't expect a father. But you didn't watch any other games on Saturday?
C
I watched games. I didn't watch any of it live. I went back and watched it. Embarrassing performance.
H
But you got drunk on Saturday morning.
C
No, I did not get drunk on Saturday morning.
B
He did feel a little toasty.
C
That's crazy.
B
Crazy Uber.
C
But yeah, I'm still verbally committed to the University of Florida right now.
B
No, no, no, dude. You put it in writing. You put it in.
C
Our national sign day is December 3rd. I will.
J
You sent a notes app that you wrote out three paragraphs saying you were a Florida fan, and now you're backing up because y' all got your kicked in.
G
This is.
B
You know what the problem is? You know what the problem is? You don't think Lane Kiffin's going to be committed to Florida and they're. And their recruiting class sucks because they don't have a coach. And so you're going to have to deal with a couple years of them sucking and you're not willing to sit in the bad days when you're talking to somebody who went to the Titans game this past weekend.
J
By myself.
A
Friend bailed on him.
C
Can I go?
B
Am I good? Go ahead. I don't know if you're allowed on this bus, bro.
C
This is College Football 101. It's the new age of college football. I. I'm waiting for national signing day, which holds weight in. In college football. I will make my full decision on national signing day right now.
J
Already made your full decision. You're not playing for the university. You're acting like you're a fan.
B
Dude, I am verbally. Look at Jack when you're talking.
C
I am verbally committed to the University of Florida right now and National Sign Day.
B
Until what?
J
Until some worse happens.
C
I'm verbally committed to the University of Florida.
J
So why didn't you watch the. One of the biggest rivalry games of the season? If you're verbally admitted as a fan, you didn't watch one play live in your home stadium?
C
I. I watched Severance with my wife. Way better.
B
Great.
C
Great show, by the way. I'm starting to think you are sever.
J
I don't have. I mean, it's. I really just don't even care at this point. I'm just not gonna even hear. No, I just don't care about your fandom and your. Because it's. Honestly, for. For our job's sake, it's kind of disrespectful to every person, including Jared Beeman, on how your fandom has operated.
C
Hey, December 3rd. National Signing Day is all I got.
J
So why. Why are you just now talking about December 3rd? Why? Because. Because if Florida had beaten Tennessee, you had been singing a very different tune.
C
I might have been, but December 3rd. Nobody's watching your signing day, brother.
B
Third.
J
Yeah, it's just.
G
Do we. Do we have a final three? Like what?
B
Yeah, if you were to go to your rival website 24 7, where you.
J
Vanderbilt and someone else.
C
Oregon is in my final three because.
B
They won over Vanderbilt.
C
Oregon because I love Dan Lanning with a passion. Florida, Vanderbilt, Oregon, final three, clump.
B
We sat here a few weeks.
C
December 3rd.
B
Week. We sat a few weeks ago when you were the main topic of conversation when you pledge your allegiance to Florida and everybody was kind of coming at your head. I kind of sat here and I was like, I like your move because you're buying stock low. You. You're assuming that Lane Kiffin's going to make it now. I don't know what to make of you, dude. Because it's. Because I'm. I got to sit there with everybody else now. I'll be like, hey, you guys were right.
G
He had.
B
I should have, I should have had.
G
He had such an opportunity too to just rock with Vandy. Like it's. The local squad kids are going to grow up here. Like it's. He's.
B
They're going to suck. In a couple years though, Clark leaving.
C
Vandy's in a great spot if they do get a. On national signing day there's rumors that five star quarterback Jared Curtis could be flipping to Vanderbilt.
G
So you'll have your.
B
Where's he committed right now?
C
I will have my eye on that one. December 3rd.
J
He ain't flipping. Not knowing that you're about to go be a Vandy fan. He's not even a troll anymore. He's just a fraud. Like there's a level of troll and fraud and you've activated peak fraud.
B
Club. I mean, is he wrong?
C
No, I think he's completely right. It's College football in 2025. There's no real alliance.
G
You know, the tier ones are about to drop.
J
You're literally sitting on a bus of five of the biggest of their home teams.
C
I said you guys all have great alliances. The schools because you went to Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, Nebraska, Michigan. I went to Ithaca College. So I don't have a real college football team. Shout out to the Bombers though. So it's not, it's not like I can just be a die hard fan because I went to the school.
B
So do you ever see like the, the clips on Instagram or what when people go to fan bases and they're like, hey, did you go to Michigan? Everyone's like, no, I didn't go to Michigan. It's. You don't have to go to school to be a real fan of a school.
C
They're clowning those people in those videos.
B
They can't clown them, but that's the idea. That's fine. But they're still real fans like that you don't have to have a degree from the school you root for. You got to figure it out so.
C
You can become a fan. You're basically saying even if you don't go to a school.
B
Yeah, okay.
C
December 3rd, National Signing Day.
B
No.
G
We'Ve let this NPC just affect our game right now. Yeah, yeah, that's what's happened.
B
You're free.
A
Doing this for decades.
G
Yeah.
B
Do you like what you're doing right now? Are you getting enjoyment of what you're Doing.
C
I do find it funny.
G
Yes.
C
But I do. I do agree with Jack that I need to actually, like, be a fan of a team. And I think I need you guys to hold me accountable that no matter what, wherever I commit on December 3rd, we.
J
You already committed.
B
December 3rd.
C
December 3rd, wherever I commit, no matter what, do or die. Gotta be a fan.
B
You know what's laptop.
J
What's gonna happen is that it's gonna decide what Tennessee and Vanderbilt. That outcome will. He's gonna choose Vanderbilt if they beat Tennessee, and if they don't, he's gonna jump on the Oregon bandwagon if Vanderbilt loses next week. So just so everyone knows what's gonna happen. Yeah, Florida's out because Clump can't hang with a losing franchise right now. He's just. He only wants to be where it's easy and. And his bed's been made and he gets kissed good night.
G
Hey, it's Thanksgiving week, Jack. Let's. Let's. Let's hear you tell Clump something you're grateful for.
J
I'm grateful that Clump is a great fantasy manager because we're co fantasy managers. He always does that. So I'll give him that. He's a great fantasy Tennessee manager. And I love Clump. But as a fan, Clump makes me, like, actually sick to my stomach because it's disgusting.
C
What?
J
He was talking about Tennessee last week versus Florida, and now he's completely off the Florida train talking about Tennessee again with Vandy. It's so dumb.
B
One thing that's very consistent is Clump does not like Tennessee.
J
Yeah, but yet his wife wears Tennessee gear. His son wears Tennessee gear. I'll show you photos of. Of his text messages before he moved here saying we're being Tennessee fans.
A
Hey, screenshots.
B
That laughs Alone Clump. That laugh you just had, that's an alone laugh. My.
C
My wife and kids are Tennessee fans. But I will. December 3rd. I'm just gonna keep saying just know.
B
I'm sorry.
C
December 3rd. Sorry.
B
Just know. Don't.
C
After the egg Bowl. For sure.
B
I hope don't join your family after December 3rd. Lane Kiffin is a coach at Florida, and I hope in the next four years, Florida wins a national championship.
A
Oh, my God.
C
They are still in my top three. Florida.
G
Yeah, because listen. December 3rd.
C
December 3rd.
B
After December 3rd.
C
He will not pick his job after December 3rd. I can promise you that.
B
Well, you can promise me that. You must know what nobody else does.
G
He's. Hey, he's. He's a little injured right now, like his Eagles just lost. Blue 21 point lead against Dallas. He's projecting a little bit.
B
I don't think it matters, man. Like, the way you're. The way this is being handled.
G
Yeah.
B
You can't really jump on board with this.
H
Created this clump with the.
B
No doubt.
G
You gotta appreciate some. A little. You gotta appreciate a master of chaos.
B
We got multiple zombies walking around this office clump. Clay Matthews. What we'll do with Clay last week, he's about to be a issue on the locker room.
E
That is a fact.
G
Like, yo, Clay goes undefeated in this slate.
B
Yeah. You got to respect it. I don't respect the way he went about it, because if he would have just picked the games the way he was supposed to, he could still be.
G
But he was never going to.
B
Right. So what's your point? That's. That's literally called. That's the opposite of standing on business. Like, hey, Clay, you can't pick highly favored money lines. Yes, I can. He's standing on.
G
That's business.
B
This is the show. Our show has to stand on business.
G
I know, but there was nothing getting him to accept that he had to pick the spread.
B
It doesn't matter.
G
Like, so he was standing on business.
B
He would have just had three picks that game this week.
G
What was your record on the.
B
I got my pushed in this week. I think I'm at one and I. I'm one in four right now with. I got 49ers. We're. We're shooting this on Monday at the 49ers minus seven.
G
So Clay.
B
Clay's. Clay's got 49ers moneyline, so let's hope he pulls that. Pulls it through.
G
So Clay will be. He'll be kind of big bro in you.
B
No, absolutely not.
G
I'm saying, are you not going into the locker room just thinking like, oh, God, no, Clay. Clay won the whole thing. Clay won everything he wanted.
B
No, Clay. There's nothing respectable to me about the way Clay went about it. Like, he can have the great record, whatever, but this is like, this tarnishes the competition of the locker room.
G
But he tarnishes. He parlayed him. He parlayed them all together plus 1400.
B
That's awesome. I'm hoping he gets his money. I hope his money makes him comfortable at night.
C
He also sent what his spread picks would have been on the locker room, and he's undefeated on those.
B
Yeah. Which would have been awesome. He just did that on the show. It's just nuts.
G
Clay, Moneyline, Matthews, though.
B
Yeah. Well, it's good I hope he has the winning. He should have the winning record in the locker room now. He should absolutely have it with moneyline favorites, you know, over a touchdown.
G
You know, it's gonna be brutal, too, because we got.
B
The Rams are 13 and a half favorites. Let me get them. Money line win.
G
It's like I can see winning by 3, 17, 34.
B
Yeah, I can see him win a whole bunch of ways, but what I do see clearly is them winning the game. It's like, what are we. What are we talking about, man? So, yeah, there's nothing respectable about what Clay did, and he can have his record. I'll just sit there and giggle to myself in the corner like, all right, bro.
G
And then Delaney's come back into the fold. Another ex money line guy.
B
Yeah. I think Delaney understands it enough to where if he was sitting there with us, he would do the honorable thing and try to explain to Clay like, you can't do that. Don't trust me. I try to do that. You can't do that. And then Delaney would go, I. I feel you, though. Yeah. And so it's like, all right. Well, I tell him, clay, yeah, I.
G
Was doing the same thing. They was doing that to me, too. I don't know why we can't pick the money lines.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
He's been crushing, though.
G
Yeah, he has.
B
He's. He's done a better job for sure. His personality is coming out, and it's the best thing, I think, for him. Like, everyone gets to see, like, Clay Matthews for real, and it's awesome.
H
It is the Foursquare ref, though. I don't know about him as the ref that's decisive. Yeah.
A
Brawling.
H
A lot of calls, though.
G
If you tune into our streams on for Thursday night games, the past few weeks, the boys, they've been. They've been competitive with Foursquare. Now we have rankings out. You can feel the tension when the ball's about to be tipped off. Sherm's been a ref. Clay's been a ref. Ryan, his. His buddy, his buddies were visiting over the weekend, stepped up. They filled in to be a referee. But a lot of competitive juices going on in the Foursquare world.
B
Love that. One thing I'm most excited for when I get this foot right is just getting on the board. And as much as I hate Derek's list, like, I'm just going to try to get on the list. My goal is just to make it on the list now and then take over that one spot. How do you guys feel About Coop getting the one seed and him saying this feels like a make a wish that's his own.
G
That's his own mental journey.
H
No one understands.
B
He explained to me it sounded like a comment.
G
He can feel that way, bro. That on that particular night he earned.
B
Them once for himself.
G
Yeah. He's not on here to speak for himself right now.
B
So. Yeah. I'll just say I. I see where he's coming from. Being on there's kind of wild.
G
It's been a. You were talking about Clay, how he's been good. Like I feel like the locker room shows with both NFL having the. The additions of Clay with Delaney. Josh paid for college football. It's been a fun year with the locker room.
B
The locker room's been awesome. I've had a lot of fun. It's my. Probably my favorite year doing a gambling show so far. Yeah, it's been awesome.
G
Just picking games. Talk about having the commissioner of college football on each week. I kind of trolled everybody over the weekend. Try and bust his balls about that.
H
Gotta know what he's talking about. Gotta know what he's talking about.
B
I'm sure. I'm sure if he had real information, he would keep it up. But the text he sent Will, when Will text him is the same text he sent me.
H
Yeah. Why would you give it up though?
B
Because I think he would tell us behind closed doors and then just let the Internet keep doing. The Internet's doing.
G
I feel like if anybody would have known it like of all the figureheads in college football, when Josh pay puts out something like that, you feel like, okay, Josh knows.
B
Yeah.
G
What everybody else doesn't right now. And just knowing that he was trolling the entire country. Hats off to him because I'm sitting there, I'm like, man, does Lane. Even though you think Lane knows. We already talked about Lane.
J
Yeah.
G
I'm just so fast.
B
I love the way lanes is stringing us all along too.
A
Announcing on the bus, right?
G
Yeah.
H
Lane.
B
Yeah.
G
Flying right from the Egg Bowl December 4th.
H
Busing with the boys day after signing day.
G
For now could change. It could change on Saturday.
A
It's up to him.
G
Yeah.
B
Yeah. One thing I just to get better than clump thing real quick. I think we should not if Columbus gonna pull this bullshit. We take Florida away from him. He's not allowed to have Florida.
G
He just the pro. The issue with Klump right now is he's. He's getting himself to a point where nobody's going to take anything he does like seriously about. Okay, cool you pick that team, nobody cares. Exactly.
B
This is the same conversation I gave Matt. It's like you're making your own bed. And six months from now, when you're having. When you're finally getting serious about something in your life, no one's gonna believe you.
G
Just because he was kind of having a heart to heart with me on him, like, picking his college team. And he's like, would it be weird or bad if I got on the Vanderbilt train? I'm like, bro, if you're like, if you're gonna be here in Nashville and you want to root for Vandy, like, yeah. People probably will be sitting back seeing how much of a fan you are, but you want to go all in on a squad. Like, go all in on a squad. We love fandom on busing with the boys and the fact that he plays so much with the fandom for the trolling and everything else.
B
It's a year. Taking something sacred to what bust with the boys has kind of established. Like, a lot of media companies are like, hey, we can't be biased. We can't be biased. It's like, we are absolutely biased for our teams. And people kind of respect that because everyone who watches sports have a favorite team, that they're kind of hoping, hey, if I was in the situation, I would be biased as well.
G
Yeah.
B
And you're making a mockery of blessing.
G
With the boys and you troll and have fun with other fan bases because it's like, this is the team that I hope wins.
B
Right.
G
He's just like, he's trolling. He's drawing everything we appreciate about fandom.
B
Yeah. It's okay to, like, have a team like you for sure. Don't like, that's okay. Like, if Tennessee is that team for you, then that's great. Will has it with Kansas City. Right. Where it's kind of like he just hates on Kansas City. No one really knows why, but he just does it.
C
December 3rd.
G
You're dead to me, dude.
B
Yeah. Onward.
C
Josh Pate will be. Josh Pate will be announcing my commitment on December 3rd.
B
Then we'll see what else we got, man. Oh, yeah.
G
Tear talk holiday drinks.
B
I love that we want to tear.
G
Talk some holiday drinks.
B
Can have beer. I've got, dude. Yeah. I'll tear talk some holiday drinks. My tier one is going to be eggnog.
J
Thank God someone else likes eggnog.
B
Dude, some people love to hate on eggnog. But something about it, like, what it means this, like, between, like, Friday and the end of the year, it's like, eggnog is a go. And whether you want to drink it with alcohol, without alcohol, that's completely up to you. To me, it's like, describe to me.
G
What'S the difference between an eggnog, like, milkshake and eggnog? The drink, I think.
B
What's in it?
J
I would assume. Yeah, you're adding ice cream.
B
Yeah, probably.
G
But does eggnog have alcohol in it?
J
No, no, no. It doesn't have, like, or, like, some kind of liqueur into it. Eggnog just comes in the dairy shelf at the grocery store. It's just like a more thin, thicker, sweeter milk.
B
Yeah, it's delicious.
J
I really like it. But I feel like the majority of people lie on the side of the fence where they do not like eggnog. They don't hate it, but they're like, just not for me.
G
Yeah.
J
I've actually never had eggnog with alcohol.
B
In it, so, you know, like, I've.
G
Ever given it a chance.
B
I don't know if I have either.
J
I might have to try one with, like, a little brandy or something in it.
B
Yeah, I feel like that would actually make it better too.
J
But, yeah, I hear what you're saying. It's like once Thanksgiving hits, you go to the. The grocery and it's just. It's there, it's stocked up. But yeah, if you're drinking eggnog after, like, January 1st, go see somebody. Go see a specialist. That's not cool.
B
Eggnog to me, is in the same, like, playing field as, like, a pina colada. Like, it's either four people that are just like, ah, it's not for me, because I'm a huge pina colada guy.
G
People don't like pina coladas.
B
People don't like coconut. That's the thing that throws people off on is people are like, coconut kind of bothers me. So they lean more towards, like, the strawberry daiquiri category. For me, it's like, I think a pina colada goes.
G
So I've never heard hate on pina.
J
I feel like everyone.
B
Oh, really?
J
Does anyone in here not like, dude.
B
I think pina coladas hits?
G
So they got a song about being Nicolas.
B
Yeah. If you. Only if you like them, but that the whole song is about if you like pina coladas. So if it's not even a question. People like pina coladas, why that song even exist? Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like someone's gonna answer no to that for that to even be a question. In a song, you know? Huh.
H
We need an eggnog song maybe.
B
Yeah.
G
I like a good hot chocolate. I like a good hot chocolate during anything in it.
A
Marshmallows.
G
Yeah, marshmallows. Just on top. Let them soak a little bit. Kind of slurp them up as you go.
H
Or.
G
Or just try to, like, sip, like, drink around it until it gets to the marshmallows at the bottom. Then you just spoon them out.
B
Yeah. Kind of like similar to, like, the whipped cream on top of a milkshake. I kind of feel like hot chocolate's a little overrated. My kids die for it, and I just kind of look at it. I'm like, all right, I'll drink it. But it doesn't. It's, like, always missing something to me.
G
Dang.
B
That's surprising guy. I'm not a huge chocolate guy. That might be the answer. I know. It's more of a me thing.
G
I would have never took you as anti hot chocolate.
B
I'm not anti. I'm just not a huge fan, you know?
G
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Are y' all apple cider people? Hot cider.
G
I like. I like a warm apple cider.
A
Yeah, that's my number.
B
I love the idea of you like apple juice.
I
No, I said I like it cold rather than warm.
B
Yeah. I think both go hard, but they, like. Like, apple cider and eggnog are so similar in the sense, like, when you're drinking it, you know exactly what time of year it is. Yeah. And that's awesome.
H
That's like a White Russian.
B
Yeah.
H
We're nearing that season.
B
Yeah.
G
White Russians.
B
What's a White Russian? Sounds like gout. Sounds like a recipe for gout.
I
Boys, when it comes to, like, holiday, like, coffee drinks, would you rather have, like, your October, like, pumpkin type flavored coffee or, like, the Christmas flavored coffee? If that makes sense.
B
That's a great question, Mitch. I personally go spooktober holiday flavors. Personally, I think when we get to the holiday, it's, like, more peppermint.
I
Like gingerbread.
B
Yeah, Gingerbread is solid. That you can turn me a little bit there. But, like, it's. I feel like it's mostly peppermint and chocolate. Love the idea of them. Not necessarily my favorite taste. So for that, I lean more towards the fall category.
G
When I get more into wintertime, I just. Traditional hot coffee. I end up finding myself making more pots of coffee throughout the day. I love some hot coffee in the wintertime.
J
Yeah.
G
Cozy up on the couch.
B
Cozy.
G
Pick up a book. Pretend to read it.
B
Yeah.
G
Put it back down.
B
A little fire plane, little fire in the background. You hear some crackling of the wood.
G
Yeah.

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 question. There's no wrong answer. What role would I play?
D
You know what? I can see you as Mr. Darcy. You got a little Colin Firth.
G
Okay, that's really sweet, I appreciate that. But are you sure I'm not the dad?
B
I'm not Mr. Bennett.
E
Here, listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
B

G
And that's another thing too, as far as arguing for this week being the best week of the year. After Thanksgiving, universally, we'll be getting the Christmas lights up, people spending the weekends with each other. The holiday music comes out. Which flick are you going to watch right out of the gate?
B
Yep, yep, yep. Polar Express.
A
Good question.
G
The Grinch. Spirited Love actually.
B
Love actually is great. You've gotta watch.
G
Yeah, something with the rhinestones.
I
Righteous gemstones.
B
No. Nope. It's like the family stone.
G
Family stone. Family stone.
B
You gotta watch that. This year Gotcha. And don't say you're gonna, like, you're gonna watch the movie. J.P. wanted us watching. Not like, I need you to watch.
G
But everybody knew I wasn't really gonna watch that, man.
A
You told me you would.
B
30 days. Well, he had to do something, right?
G
Because you wouldn't leave me alone.
A
Yeah. You know who you're acting like, so you're just lying.
B
You're hurting your own.
G
This one, it just keeps going. I'm like, I just gotta tell him I'm gonna watch. Yeah, I'll check that out, man.
A
So that's what we. That's how you feel? You haven't seen anything yet.
B
What's that movie called?
A
Yeah, Greatest Showman.
B
Greatest Showman.
G
I did start it, but once I realized it was a musical, I didn't watch it, Bro.
A
He lied.
B
He's just not a musical guy.
A
This is your clump era.
G
Oh, don't.
A
No, I did do that.
G
Don't do that.
A
And you have. You have an opportunity to fix it.
G
Yeah. What now? Where I can start to wrap my mind around a musical. I watch Wicked over the weekend.
B
Wicked's great.
A
I watched it last night for the first time.
G
Yeah, it was good.
A
Yeah, it was good.
B
The trolling of those two. The two main stars, like, SNL trolled them. Like, how they kind of always holding each other's hands, like, petting each other during interviews. So weird. I have not seen the movie. I don't even really know what the idea of the movie is, but seeing people troll that, I think that is so funny to me.
I
There's some, like, the origin of the.
G
Wicked Witch and how she was good.
I
There's some, like, legit conspiracies about, like, what is going on with these two. Because that.
J
That is all. That's all marketing. Like, people don't understand that. That the weird dynamic they do in these interviews, they know that it gains traction. And this is what's beautiful about marketing. But it's also creeps you out, them hugging, holding each other's hands. What should be talked about is how skinny. Horrible, horrible look for young girls. I'm being so serious when I say this. Like, for.
B
Forget.
J
I know for, like, girls in middle school to see these girls that their collarbones are exposed more than, like, their shoulders. I think it's just really bad for girls growing up at a young age, thinking that they need to be this grossly skinny to, like, compete with, like, normal beauty standards.
I
Yeah, that's what I was.
J
That is marketing, though.
G
So that's w. It or something.
J
It's the two Men. Yeah, it's Ariana Grande and then the girl who plays the witch.
I
Or Rivio. But like these. These two did not used to look like this.
B
No, Grande used to be a rocket.
I
Yeah. And then like the conspiracy.
G
I haven't seen these photos.
I
The conspiracy I was talking about is more so like something like. Because it's not just them two. A couple of the other characters or actor. Actors on the show have lost like a ton of weight. And it just like. Like Jack says, it's just an awful like standard beauty standard for young kids. Because it's like a musical. Like young kids are gonna go see it. Like, this just does not look healthy or right. Or like something that's nuts.
G
Why. Why she lost all that weight.
I
That, like, that's what. That's what the conspiracy and stuff is. Like, something must have happened or this Wicked, like, cult type deal. It's something. It's. It's just really, really weird. And it looks very, very unhealthy.
B
Should it kill it?
A
Kills it.
B
Yeah.
J
Wicked's an awesome movie.
B
Really? Yeah.
G
Look, I like the movie.
B
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
G
All this stuff beyond.
B
Yeah, that's crazy. That shit's going down. I hope whatever the issue is, it gets figured out. No doubt about it. But it sounds like. Yeah, sounds pretty crazy.
A
So you watch with you before you watch Greatest Showman.
G
Yeah.
B
You're not.
A
You're a Wolverine guy.
B
You're not gonna like Spirited.
E
I know.
B
Because you're not.
G
Showman's not about Wolverine.
A
It's Hugh Jackman.
G
Yeah, but like, he ain't Wolverine in the Greatest Showman.
B
He's better.
A
Pretty close.
G
Look, listen, Jack or jp, I'll watch the movie.
A
No, you won't.
G
I'll watch them.
B
No, he. This is.
D
This is.
B
I'm trying to get JP off my back.
A
Trust me, I can feel it.
B
Yeah, I think we all see it. And like. But this is what. Hey, this is what happens when you lie. This is what happens when you lie.
A
Right.
B
The next time you go to do something, do we all believe you? That's the question, dude. Just getting on the Greatest Showman. My kids watched that for the first time last night. Rips. Rips. My oldest daughter was truly beside herself. And I can't say what happens. But when the promoter and Hugh Jackman, that one thing happens. The one thing happens.
G
I can't watch jp.
B
No, no, I just say that one thing happens. You know what I'm talking about?
A
Oh, yeah.
B
When that happened, when Rebel the one was, like, unconsolable, crying, thinking, how could this happen?
A
Yeah.
B
Where Taylor had to come in and be like, you see this? This ever happens. Like, you see. So that's all set because you need to watch the movie, and it'd be great if you would have kept your promise and watched movies so I could talk about it. However, I cannot.
A
Will you watch it before the end of the year?
G
No.
A
God dang.
B
Hey. Hey, bro. Don't be mad at him for being honest. Yeah, no, no.
A
But I think I, you know, I believe I could get him to watch.
B
It before he needs to watch.
G
I would love to surprise you and watch it before, but I can't promise that I will watch it before the years.
I
Movie Friday.
B
For real? That's a great one. Yeah. But, hey, Rue's age and, yeah, this is your kid, so maybe it's different, but like. Like, when it's not cartoons, the attention span kind of can get away from you pretty quick. My kids are now getting to the age where it's like, you can kind of put on.
G
Yeah.
B
Not cartoon movie. And they're kind of, like, feeling it.
A
You skipped a Nebraska game to watch an indie film movie before you watched Greatest Show?
G
Come on, man, don't do that. That wasn't.
B
That wasn't crazy right now.
G
That wasn't intentional. Like, that wasn't me making those decisions.
B
So it sounds like we gotta go to Charo.
A
I will.
B
By the way, I texted Charlie this weekend, said, automatic 200 on your team's play because she went to Maryland. No response. I'm gonna need that, Venmo.
G
She's like, hey, what's Taylor mean by this text? He's like, oh, Maryland's playing Michigan today. They're getting mopped, though, so don't respond.
B
She sent that to you or showed you that when you got home?
G
She was telling me about it. She was like, hey, Taylor texted me about we have an automatic bet or something like that. Like, what's happened? I was like, oh, Maryland plays Michigan. They're playing right now. Do you don't want to look at the score.
B
Man. Nothing. If you watch college football. Recap. Nothing's more important than this weekend in the game.
G
Big weekend.
B
Massive weekend. And what sucks, too, is I spent, like, the last three weeks, like, on the. On the couch because my foot hurts. Now my foot's a little bit better. There's no world where I can sit there and watch all these games this weekend, which kind of sucks. No, bro, I have, like, in a weird sense, neglected my Children on the weekends because of this foot, they. They come see me like it's visiting hours in prison. Hey, dad, how are you checking on me? Bring me a water. We love you. And they go and they go and play like, what am I supposed to get my 8 year old and 5 year old? Hey, hang out with me.
G
What you've been doing with.
B
Can't build a fort, dude. I just lay there.
G
What you've been doing with the, with.
B
The free time just sitting there, man.
G
I'm saying, did you just sit. Do you play video games?
B
Stare at the ceiling? No, I play video games. Truly, like, I was in so much pain. There was no focusing on video games for me. It was. I mean, yesterday was all football, Saturday was all football. Friday was a. I was like going through the process of like, I need to watch something, but I can't figure out what to watch. I end up leaning back on Sopranos and it's like, that's such a slow burn to where I like, wasn't. It's like they take a whole episode to explain, like one thing going on when there's so many other things you're kind of interested in. But it's like I'm so far in it now, I gotta see the end and my brain's not in the right spot to watch your Dark Wolf or whatever that's called because I watched 30 minutes of it. I'm like, this acting sucks. And I kind of just moved on.
G
That's nuts. Crazy shot at Dark Wolf, right?
B
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. I'll have to get out of my. I'll have to get out of my pill abuse phase to go re watch it because I'm like, not in a great headspace. But yeah, I didn't. I didn't take advantage of the time I had alone like I should have. But I think every father goes through that when they get a little time to themselves. The first 12 hours, like, oh, it's amazing. Anything after that, you're like, you're. I'm bored. And you're more just focused on being bored than you or anything else. So. Yeah.
G
So you're playing A lot of 2048.
B
Oh yeah. A lot of 2048. There's undo, undo, undo. So yeah, yeah, yeah. That's kind of what my life is. Because I thought about playing a game, but it's like, what am I do? Okay, I did. The thought of like getting the chair over, putting the headset. I was just in pain, bro. It wasn't like, I'm kind of sick. And I'm getting to stay home from school so I can enjoy this day. This is like, I'm wondering if I'm ever gonna walk again. I'm wondering. I got up this morning and I legit was like, okay, I can walk. I, like, walked without the boot for a little bit. Took a shower and a piece of me, like, was like a newborn child. Like a child first learning to walk. I. I don't have my motor skills about me. That's how horizontal I've been the last three weeks.
H
So gotta get on the game.
B
And now my diet sucks too, so my life.
H
Gotta distract yourself by getting on the game.
B
Yeah.
A
Watch the Diplomat.
B
Now you see it. I did watch Snowden. Y'. All. Have you all seen Snowden? Solid. Yeah, it's a solid movie.
I
Yeah.
B
Great movie. Yeah. What's our take on that? Do we think this guy is a true patriot?
G
I don't even know what you're talking about.
H
You haven't seen that movie.
B
So this guy. This guy Snowden. Yeah. Well, this is all based on true story.
G
Just.
B
You could look up all these things, but this dude worked for the CIA and starts learning, like, back in, what, the early tens. Yeah, the early 10s, about what the CIA is doing as far as invading privacy of the. Of the pedestrian of America. And, like, how you're able to access people's computers, their phones, all these things to watch anybody anytime, to where they could be listening to us right now, Obama's up there saying, we don't do that. The only thing we utilize that for is to make sure, like, if someone were looking after, like, yeah, they're trying to make the world safe. This dude basically whistleblows on the United States of America, breaking the Fourth Amendment of, like, the private, like, privacy and security. He brings these journalists in there to explain this story to them, tells them the entire story, gets them to publish the story, and then flees to Russia, where he now lives in Russia still to this day. And every president since Obama has been like, if he steps on American soil, he'll be arrested for treason or espionage, whatever it is. And a lot of America is like, this guy's technically, like, the most patriotic dude. We should be celebrating this guy for exposing this issue, then being like, this guy's bad.
G
Just hearing that, it feels like he's a patriot.
B
Right?
G
Feels like he wanted to let the people know what was happening.
B
Let the people. He's done.
G
We see these TV shows.
B
Apparently he's done Rogan a few times via Zoom. It's like the one, the only ones that Rogan's done via Zoom because he has to stay in Russia. His wife came to see him in Russia and they're like, can't come back to America. So now his wife's in. In Russia as well. And, like, Putin's like, yeah, he can stay as long as he wants.
G
Yeah.
B
It's odd, man.
G
So it sounds like he exposed a massive government secret to the people. Yeah, the American people.
B
Yeah. And got away with it too. Well, he's just. It goes into all the storylines that we love. The House of Cards type stuff. Like, behind.
G
That's what I was thinking.
B
Behind the three seasons, all these things that are happening. It's like you're being able to see it. I didn't love the ending in the movie. I didn't love. I wish they explained him, like, fleeing and getting away. Because there was a piece there where America is trying to track this guy down and get him before he's able to get to a country that they can't get to. And he just. He's just in Russia. And I kind of wish they went after him. Him, like, running through a hallway. They almost got him. Even if, like, make a little more theatrical. Yeah, gotcha. You know?
G
So, yeah, you gotta watch Terminal List.
B
Dark wolf. Dark Wolf 2. I have not. I've only heard Chris Pratt speak in that movie. I have not even seen him act in that movie. But the first scene on the bridge. I don't know about this. What's that?
I
Taylor Kitsch.
B
Is that the dude?
G
Yeah. Taylor Kitch is awesome.
B
Okay.
G
It's a good series. And I highly encourage. If anybody hasn't watched the Terminal List, I highly encourage watching Dark Wolf first and then hitting the original. That came out in 2022.
B
Now, when does the next season of Severance come out? That's in August, right?
G
Oh, dang. Do we got Stranger Things coming out this week?
I
Yeah, Wednesday.
G
Oh, and Landman's out.
B
Second episode's out.
G
I haven't watched second.
B
I haven't watched it either.
G
TV on these winter months.
B
Yeah.
I
The first five episodes of Stranger Things come out, like, Wednesday at, like, 7pm Central.
G
Five episodes?
I
Yeah, because it's in 2X. So, like, the first act is like, thanks. Like, around Thanksgiving time, and then the second act is around Christmas. So. But, like, have you seen the show? The show times of each one, it's like there's not a single episode that's under an hour and a half or hour 20.
B
That's gotta fire you up. Yes, that's Gotta fire you up for I am so with Landman, I'm in my first kind of like waiting week to week situation because we talked about this before on shows. I. If I'm going to watch a show, I kind of wait for all the fuss to be over, all the episodes come out so I can just binge watch the out of it. And I watched that first season of Landman and now I'm kind of for the first time in my waiting week to week for this second season. And I love it, dude. I love Landman.
G
I'm in a good spot right now. You got Landman? That comes out. There's still episodes of Tulsa King dropping weekly, so I got Tulsa King, Landman now Stranger Things coming up like, it's it. We're about to have a hell of a December Boy Toys.
A
Are y' all Avatar people?
G
Yeah, my kids are trying to get on preview the new movie.
A
I'm definitely going to see that.
B
I still have not seen it any of them.
A
The people that hate On Avatar and James Cameron for doing it are some of my least favorite types of critics.
B
Yeah.
J
Never seen Avatar.
B
I know. I've done the ride at Disney and the ride is out of this. Have you done the ride?
D
No.
J
I've seen the movies, though.
B
It's out of this world, dude.
G
I don't believe I've seen the second one.
J
The second one's really good.
H
Sick.
J
Y' all need to watch the.
B
Is it? No, it is sick or is it not the second one?
J
They're both awesome.
B
Yeah. Because my kids. My kids did the ride at Disney World. They're like, hey, we got to watch Avatar. My wife and I like, it's PG 13. Do we let them watch it? And it's three hours, so now I gotta go watch it at some point, knowing I'm gonna have to watch it again if it's appropriate for children.
I
The first one, there's a weird scene that you may have to just skip through.
B
What. What is the scene? I mean, the movie's been out long enough to like. You can give me this.
I
Yeah, it's the scene where the. The paralyzed guy and Zoe Saldana are like. Are in like, the trees and they.
B
Like, connect parts because that's how they have sex, right?
J
Yeah, it's their tails.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Doesn't come across like. I know what you mean, but.
I
Well, I mean, for like, how old Taylor's kids are, I feel like that could be like a little. I mean, I don't know what your. Your gauge is, but, like, that's the only really weird part. And then there's like some.
B
Taylor's a little more strict on the movies and shows than I am. I'm kind of like, we can let it rip, see what happens.
I
There's just like some Spears and.
H
Yeah.
A
I feel like it's so effect heavy that that's what kids kind of really focus on.
B
Yeah, the show. Yeah. I think I gotta. That's something to do in this nice little holiday break is to bust that out with the kids because then I can get juiced up. By this third one coming out, I guess it's gonna be sick. But I am, I am. I am sort of leaning towards the kind of spot I'm in in life. I am leaning towards the show as opposed to the movie. I love movies. I love sitting down for those two hours, enjoying it, just immersing myself, no distractions, no phones. And then you're kind of. When it's done, it's like, wow. You can kind of break it down and move on. But the ability to break down these shows and have every detail kind of uncovered, I'm really liking that. I'm really enjoying every aspect of it.
G
TVs in its shows are.
H
Yeah, shows are great for community and they have been for the last couple of years because of what you're talking about. And I think Game of Thrones was one of those ones that kind of started that brought the world together and trying to think of what they're gonna do next. Like, you feel like you're a part of it with some of these shows.
B
I like really good. I like that a lot.
H
Have you done severance yet? Are you waiting?
B
No. That's why I asked. Hey, when's the next season coming out? Because I want to time it up. I am going to watch the show. Seeing where you guys were at every week. It kind of sounds kind of exciting. So to me, it's like, when do I start watching that first season? And it sounds like I need a piece of me is like maybe the Stranger Things. Maybe it's time for me to dive in.
H
You haven't done that ever?
B
No. I don't even know, dude. I don't even really know what it's about. And I kind of like going into it like that. So we can. We can just leave it there.
G
You love Stranger Things.
H
Yeah.
B
Oh, there's. There's two seasons of Severance.
H
Yeah.
B
Oh, it's come. Coming late 26, early 20. Okay.
H
When is shrinking coming out? Because I feel like we're due for.
G
That another Show I'm watching right now is Pluribus.
B
How is that? What, four episodes in now?
G
It's solid. I've watched. I've watched four. I've watched all four. Yeah, I know. It comes out, what, every Wednesday, I think.
J
So I feel like after episode four, you kind of get a gist of where they're going, but almost like a severance where you understand the plot, but you don't have a whole lot to work with on, like, where directionally they're gonna go. Like, what's the objective, essentially?
G
Like, what's the angle of everything?
J
But I'm enjoying it.
G
I think that her getting on the whiteboard.
J
No, it's, like, based in modern time, but, yeah, Fallout's a great show too. But I don't know Pluribus. I. I have faith in it. I really like that actress. I think she's. She's really good.
B
Yeah.
G
Yeah.
B
Pluribus. I don't think anybody knows, man.
G
Some good tv.
B
Yeah, good.
G
So just hanging with the boys, just talking ball that we should watch.
B
Yeah. One.
H
I do think one time maybe in the off season, we pick a show that we all haven't seen. Watch it so we can, like, recap it on here.
B
Okay.
G
We'd have to.
B
Hopefully it's Chad Power, season two.
H
True.
B
Would love a season two there. Love it. Mobland needs to come out with season two immediately.
G
We could break that if everybody gets in five eps, Stranger Things.
I
I'll be there with you. I'm.
G
I'm excited.
I
Wednesday night. Wednesday night. I plan on trying to knock out all five.
G
Oh, and what a weekend.
B
Staying up late to do it.
G
Yeah. Yeah.
B
Get a little bit. Yeah. All right, boys. We feel good, feel great. Happy Thanksgiving.
G
We wanna.
B
Yeah.
G
Happy Thanksgiving. Do we want to go around? Just do something quick. What we're. What we're grateful for.
B
Yeah. We can do it quickly.
G
Urge the fans just to maybe think a little bit.
B
Yeah.
H
Shout out the fans.
G
Shout out the fans, dude.
B
Yeah.
G
Go ahead, clump.
B
Yeah.
C
Something I'm thankful for.
G
Yeah.
C
Can't say family or can say family.
G
You say whatever you want.
B
Yeah. All right.
C
I mean, obviously my family.
B
I'll go.
C
My wife, Lindsay, she is a big part of bus with the boys in a sense of. I work a lot of hours and she takes care of the kids and kind of holds it down at home while I'm here grinding. So shout out to Lindsay. Thankful for her and everything that she does.
J
She rocks.
G
Shout out Lindsay. Man, I know she's gonna make a masterful pie.
I
That's gonna be fire.
G
We'll get her to make something for you.
B
No, dude, I don't. Don't have her making me nothing. Just let me stare at it for a little bit. Give me five minutes alone with that boy just to look at.
I
Thankful for all of you boys. I mean, this, we say it every year. We've been doing this, but like, this isn't. This doesn't feel like a real job. We just come home, we come, come here, hang out with everybody and just like, we're all friends and like, it never feels like it's a, a grind. It's like, oh, I gotta go to work. Like, this is so much fun. Thankful for you two for letting us be here and kind of giving us creative freedom to do whatever we want, which you don't get a lot of places. Thankful for my family as well. Being far away up in pa, like, sometimes it's tough not seeing them and everything, but being able to talk to them and then thankful for Brooke. She is the happiest I've ever been with somebody, like, and I'm really, really happy in my life right now. And she's a big part of it. So thankful for, for all of that stuff.
B
Hell yeah, dude. Pull the trigger. Pull the trigger. Yeah. That being said, Brooke, if you see this episode, thankful for family, Thankful for this job, Thankful for extended family. And just kind of like you learn how important family is when you have a kid and like they're helping and it's really fun to see like my mom and dad buying into being grandparents. That's a ton of fun and just thankful in general. Nice.
J
Yeah. Shout out family. Thank for my family. Thankful for you guys to. To live in an area where you have good friends. I have my parents close is great. And then to go to a place of work where it's just chopping up with the boys all day long. It's great. I'm also thankful for Shannon, my girlfriend. She's been awesome. That's kind of new in my life.
B
And I'm also podcast official podcast official.
J
Well, on this podcast, but if you guys listen inside the bus, that's it. But yeah, yeah, but for this podcast for sure. I said earlier how I was like kind of dreading driving to Atlanta. I also feel very grateful and thankful that I have the opportunity to drive to Atlanta. That I have a car and, you know, gas money and make it down to go see my nieces and my sister and, and my brother in law. So that's always a beautiful thing. And also I'm I'm grateful to have spent yesterday in Nissan Stadium. Even though the Titans suck. It's cool that I have that ability to get up, go to a game, have a ticket, watch a team that I usually love and doesn't always hurt me. But it's nice to, to be able to do stuff and to live in a country truly where we just have opportunities left and right and you can kind of get lost on those things sometimes. So, yeah, shout out to America.
G
Yes.
A
Everything that everybody else said. Thankful for you guys, friends, family. Thankful for sitting. But more specifically, her enthusiasm towards life. It's so refreshing and so encouraging to be around somebody that is just always fired up about what's going on, whether it's in her life or my life. And it is one of the biggest gifts ever. So if you are looking for somebody, I highly suggest trying to find somebody that has an enthusiasm for life and especially like the small things. Then this year also, I'd say I'm thankful for new friends. I feel like this year I've made a bunch of new friends and I've tried to be intentional about it and like going deeper with them and it's been cool because there's so many people that this time last year I didn't even know and now I've had like meaningful, deep conversations with them, which has been awesome because usually I feel like you have it in your head when you get older, you kind of have your friends in its set so you stop seeking different relationships. But some of the most fruitful ones are from people that I just now am getting to know. So it's, it's never too late to make new friends, new quality friends.
H
Amen. Yeah, same thing. Grateful for family friends in this office. I feel like the last two and a half months have been kind of tough for me just personally and having a place like this that you can come to and it distracts you from whatever it is in your personal life that might be hard. And actually having people here that care and ask questions and want to, you know, make sure that you're okay is incredibly refreshing. So, yeah, it's, it's interesting when the place that you work is sometimes where you look forward to going the most because of the people you're around. So I just, I really appreciate everyone in here for that.
B
Yeah, obviously family. I just, I talk about all the time being in the position I am as a father where my kids are at age wise right now, it just feels true. Like, like the peak of being a dad and like what it's all about. And remember, like you think about, like being the good times. We juggle time, like we're in it. Like, I truly feel like that's where I'm at right now. Like, my knowing my oldest is getting older a couple years from now. She's gonna in puberty and boys and friends over over family for that little, little stint. They usually go to hoping they come back. But it's just like, truly enjoyable to like, be around them and like, have like, looking forward to going home and like, having fun with them. It's like the playing is. Is out of this world. And then my wife, like, I share the same thing you do, J.P. like being with somebody that has an enthusiasm for life, has a overall optimistic view on life when things are not necessarily going great, but also like a rock in the family is awesome. Like, these last three weeks, I haven't done shit and Taylor's like, done essentially everything for the family. Hasn't complained, hasn't bitched, like, keeps on pushing. And it's just you. I'm so grateful about getting that right because I looked at some pastors and ships that maybe I was bad for or they were bad for me or it was both. Like, I could have easily fell into some of those relationships and been in a really tough position now. And knowing that I found the right person to do my whole life with is like, I mean, there's something so amazing to be said about making that right choice, and that's huge. And then you guys, dude, like, this has been this year, the opportunities that you and I have gotten to kind of like, figure out, like, do we love doing these things? What do we not want to do? Like, the world of opportunities that have opened up for busting with the boys, not just for me and Will, but for all of us. It's just so cool to see where this brand is going and honestly understanding that, like, the only limitation of this brand is what we all decide it is. And then that is. It's so freeing to, like, have that and also know that, like, we're in the driver's seat of our lives from a professional standpoint. And that's such so cool, especially being in lane. We're at so incredibly grateful for all those things, man. It's very cool. And it's like, you know, the next question you ask yourself, like, is how much better can it get? And then to see what the universe provides to you, and it's just awesome.
G
Well said, bro. A lot of the same things, I think family, like having kids, it just it gives you such a different perspective on how to slow down and enjoy these moments. Like a core value of ours. A bus and a smell in the flowers. And getting to do that with Rue and Scotty and then also my wife. Like having a life partner where you enjoy or embrace the suck with them. Sometimes you're at each other's throat about stuff.
H
Stuff.
G
But knowing that you have a foundational piece that I do in Charo and like getting to embark on, like, we're about to get in our new house here in the early next year, which I'm fired up about. And we've been having a lot of these, like, gratitude moments late at night, like when we're laying in bed, just getting to raise our kids. Like, super thankful that I have the family that I do, the extended family, like my brothers, my dad getting to work at this place. Like, we went through a massive transition early this year. We're leaving Barstool and going with FanDuel and betting on ourselves and like getting to do it with each other and seeing everybody, like raise the standard. Welcome in new employees, chasing the things that we have, whether it's with espn, the fall tour, stuff that we do. Adding shows like for the dad, Sherm, I'm grateful for you and Chef and Derek and the new guys that have came into that paid the locker room with Clay, like juicing those shows up a little bit the way you guys have worked. Truly grateful. Truly thankful for you guys because again, when you're in a gig for, you know, five plus years, it can get very monotonous and you can lose a lot of that hunger. But I feel like you guys find a new hunger. You guys have found a new hunger like throughout the year in each thing that we do. So very grateful for that. Grateful for my health, even though my low back is in hell at times throughout the course of the year and I don't treat my body as my temple like I should. What else, man, yeah.
B
Hell yeah.
G
Gratitude.
B
Gratitude.
G
Love you guys.
B
Let us know in the comments what you're thankful for. That's big time. Oh, bud light question.

Hey, audiobook lovers. This week on the podcast I'm sitting down with musician, producer and walking encyclopedia Questlove. We're talking about Mark Ronson's memoir, Night how to be a DJ in 90s New York City. All right, like we talked about before, Mark Ronson found sanctuary in the DJ booth. What's a tool or piece of equipment in the studio or on stage that gives you the most control? So I have two microphones on stage.
I
We have the microphone that you hear as the audience. Then we have a second microphone in.
B
Which we communicate with each other.
I
Each other. I feel like that second microphone kind of saved all of our friendships.
G
No.
I
No band likes each other after 20.
G
Years or 25 years.
B
Like the Beatles broke up in seven.
I
And a half years. And we're going on 35.
B
Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iheart.
E
Audiobook club on the iheartradio app or.
B
Wherever you get your podcast. Hey, Will.
G
Oh, no. Yeah, I think we have a good one here.
B
Oh, do we?
G
So, Bud Light question. What would you do anything for? People would do anything for Bud Light. Sherm. What is something that you would do anything for? Let's get to know our guys.
B
All right, we can't say family. Can't say family.
G
Can't say family.
B
God, I'm trying to go quick. Sorry. This is bad radio. What would I do anything for? A while ago, we talked about liquids being shot out of our fingers and Delaney had a really great answer of like, ice cream, gasoline, blah, blah, blah. I loved his answer so much that I would love to adopt what he said. But I do want to add, I would take away whatever my least favorite of that is and add soft serve ice cream. So like, like pointer finger shoots out soft serve thumb shoots out gasoline. I think beer was one, water was one. I. I can't remember what the other one was, but that'd be sick. I would do anything for that. Hell yeah.
G
Nice Sherm.
J
We all going around.
B
Sure.
J
I would do anything to ensure that my dog stayed alive as long as I did. I. If you've met my dog, Bonnie, you know she is truly one of a kind. I get very choked up sometimes thinking about, she'll be seven in April and she's perfectly healthy. Nothing's wrong with her, but she's truly just such a kind soul. She's like a grandmother trapped in a dog's body. And I just think that I've been so favored and blessed by getting her. It was very difficult getting her at first. I got evicted from my house, but it was. It's the best thing that ever happened to me. And I consider getting another dog maybe here in the next year or so just because the idea of losing her and not having a dog alongside would take me a very long time to get a new dog. That's how much she means to me and how special she is. But yeah, I think I do anything just to keep Bonnie around as long as possible. And obviously that won't happen. But I'm very, very blessed that. That I am her owner. She's in my life. So, yeah. Shout out Bonnie.
B
Shout out Bonnie.
A
I would do anything for, obviously Gamecock National Championship, but that's family, so that doesn't count. I would do anything for. For the ability for some of these shows that I love so much. Some of these anime shows, if they were just real. Because I get so invested in these characters and I'm like, man, if I could just become friends with Kachan or Todoroki, then life would be so full. Fortunately, that won't happen right now, but that's what I would do anything for. For my favorite shows to come to life.
H
I'm trying to think still. If you want, go ahead. I'm not ready.
G
I would do anything. We talked about, like, superpowers before, but I would do anything to be able to just. Just to touch a book and consume all the information and knowledge Just by touching the book. I do anything for that.
B
I would do anything on that same category to manipulate time to have full access similar to the movie. Click where I can go through a scenario and I can rewind time and then we go through that scenario. Think of all the possibilities, dude. Think of FanDuel Sportsbook. You watch a 12 o' clock slate and you're like, I couldn't have been more wrong. Rewind. Replace those bets the way you want to baccarat playing the game. Oh, oh, it was banker, not player. Rewind. Let me put it, all of it on banker right here, dude. I mean, think of the ops. If you're able, you get an argument with your wife and you're like, man, I really rewind. Go through it. Hey, I see where you're coming from. And I know you're probably thinking this, but actually that, hey, let's handle that situation. Like, dude, playing football. Being playing football and like up a play and being like, rewind. I know what this guy's gonna do now. Bing, bam, boom.
G
Like, I'm about to pick this off.
B
Yeah, like, you could do anything, dude. Hey, I'm exhausted. Pause time. Take a nap. Wake up. You're back. You don't have to sleep anymore. To the rest of the world, could be midnight. You're like, I guess I'll just take a nap real quick. Pause time. Wake up, it's still midnight. You are fully aware and awake now. That's. That's the win. That's the move. And I would do anything for Michigan to beat Ohio State this weekend.
H
I'll keep mine short and sweet. I would do anything, anything to be able to play one round of golf every single day of my life. I would do anything for that.
B
Oh.
C
I think this might have been said before on the bus, so I'm sorry if it. It has, but I would do anything to be able to clear my mind of a TV show or a movie that I like, loved and enjoyed and like, re watch it and just experience, like, Entourage for me. I've watched it so many times through. If I could clear my mind and just watch it again and just see it from a different lens and have fun. Truly one of the greatest shows I've ever watched.
B
That show's so great, dude.
G
It's a good one.
H
Your Sopranos.
B
I know, but like, that Sopranos to me, something I could just turn off Entourage. If I start it, I've got to finish it. I've got that kind of time.
I
I know we said. I mean, I know the Thing is, we can't say family. It's kind of sort of like that. But I would do anything to have a better relationship with my brother. I see, like, JP's relationship with his brother, like Jack and his relationship with his brother G with his brother. Nate and I aren't the closest, and we're all we have. And it kind of kills my parents that we aren't as close as we want to be, but we're just so different. But, like, I would do anything to kind of like, not that we really have, like, a bad past or, like, had a falling out or anything. We're just not all that close. So I would do anything to make sure that we have that, like, we're able to get closer and, like, we have each other for the rest of the time we're here.
B
Sounds like of all the Bud Light things, that's the most doable one. Yeah, that and time. Yeah. Yeah. But my. My version's way different, man. I'm not. There's no repercussions for my actions.
G
Yeah.
B
And I'm not fast forwarding. I think in all my scenarios are my fat. I'm just rewinding and replaying it. Baccarat, dude. Baccarat. Going the run of your life.
A
But would it. Would it be as fun?
B
Yeah, it absolutely would. It absolutely would. Put. Put together the most insane parlay. I always be like, I don't know, man. I'm like, dude, I'm telling you, just hit this. And then they don't. But the next time they do and they hit again, then it's like, oh, I had to throw people off the scent. So you fuck up a parlay just to it up. But hey, don't take this one.
H
I mean, dude, hot tub time machine, though.
B
Think of. Dude, I like football. To me, it's always the. The thing that goes in my head of like, hey, I wish I could play, like one more high school football game. And like, all the things I know about football now, like, imagine going back and playing a high school football game. But the time thing, like, just thinking about getting my rocked and be like, case coming with a bull rush. You know, you're back and you're like this bullish is nothing goat, bro. The goat. Like, be able to know someone's gonna fumble the ball. Just. Okay, rewind that again. Pick it up. Okay, juke left this time. Ah. Okay, rewind it again. Like going through reps and so you just get it right. Never, ever, ever lose a football game.
G
Hey, ref, I'm eligible.
B
Never lose a football game.
H
I kind of. I like Wills because I'm bad about doing the process of that. So if you could just touch something.
G
And that's a book and you consume everything inside that book, I'd be sick too.
H
But you would be saving time.
B
Yeah, you'd be saving time for sure. Can't go back though. Can't go back.
