Adnan Burke (2:38)

This is a podcast called 25 Whistles. Talking Football. A whistle yet stupid.

Jason Demers (2:46)

But what did you expect?

Adnan Burke (2:47)

It's a podcast called 25 Whistles. Hi Daddy. Blow whistle. Looking at our parlay and Kevin and I missed.

Bobby Bones (2:57)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (2:58)

Last night.

Jon Stewart (2:59)

Yep. So me and Reed got it right. It never happens out of the four of us. It's crazy.

Adnan Burke (3:05)

Yeah.

Jon Stewart (3:06)

Wow.

Adnan Burke (3:07)

Wait, we'll talk about it.

Jon Stewart (3:08)

Well, that goes to show you that, hey, this is all just kind of luck.

Adnan Burke (3:11)

It's not. I mean, it's not even me. Hey, I will start by saying this though. I have have been on a cooler and so I've hit six in a row. I didn't bet the parlay. I'll be honest with you guys.

Jon Stewart (3:22)

That's why.

Adnan Burke (3:24)

No, it's not. I tell you guys, I don't like the parlays. I hate having to make them.

Jon Stewart (3:29)

But if you don't have faith in our parlay, how are we supposed to put that out?

Adnan Burke (3:33)

Mostly I'll bet them if I do all them.

Jon Stewart (3:36)

Oh, when we're all. I got you. When we're all pitching in. I got it.

Adnan Burke (3:40)

Yeah. Makes sense. I fit six bets in a row. I was so cold that I then was like, let's just. And then I did a heat check where I bet during the game. I bet lad McConkey and Texans wide receiver Nico Collins score. Touchdown. Both as a parlay.

Jon Stewart (4:02)

Boom.

Adnan Burke (4:02)

Hit them both. Couldn't believe it. Couldn't believe it. I bet a thousand bucks on Ohio State to cover. And I bet big on the one we bet on. Notre Dame. Notre Dame.

Jon Stewart (4:16)

Yeah. We were the ones.

Adnan Burke (4:18)

Easy go. Kind of easy come. I'm not quite back yet, but I'm off the. I'm off just eating green cold street. Yeah. That's all I was doing was eating green peas for like three days. Is a rough one. We'll start with Kevin. How about you?

Bobby Bones (4:33)

Yeah, big deal.

Adnan Burke (4:34)

Kevin is a Mass Patriots fan. That's right.

Bobby Bones (4:37)

That's right.

Adnan Burke (4:37)

Even bigger than him getting engaged.

Bobby Bones (4:40)

Yeah.

Jon Stewart (4:41)

Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. Bigger than that.

Adnan Burke (4:43)

Mike Vrabel's head Coach of the Patriots.

Bobby Bones (4:45)

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, forget the twins that are coming. Mike Vrabel is our head coach. You guys, Mike freaking Vrabel, your thoughts? I love it. It was a very, very good way to start the day. Like the one and only with the. Dan Hurley, I believe at Yukon said, you better get us now because we're coming and the Patriots are coming back. We got the quarterback, we got the head coach. That's the two pillars that you need to restart this organization in the right direction. And we're on our way.

Jon Stewart (5:11)

Not if the jets have something to say about.

Bobby Bones (5:13)

You guys are going downhill again.

Adnan Burke (5:15)

Well, they don't have a coach yet. Rex Ryan's going to be able to. I love it.

Bobby Bones (5:18)

I just, I watched the. The news conference this morning and Vrabel, he fires me up, man. I'm ready.

Adnan Burke (5:24)

If they would have hired Vrabel from the Titans, meaning when the Titans, they were just playing ho hum. If they would have hired him from the Titans, how would you have felt? Like right when Belichick left. Belichick, we're hiring Variable from the Titans because my feeling is you wouldn't be as pumped.

Bobby Bones (5:41)

I would have maybe.

Adnan Burke (5:43)

Because here's the thing. These coaches that sometimes lose a job and have a year off, they kind of get rebuilt by the media. How amazing. And again, I'm not saying he wasn't amazing at what he does, but it's almost like a rehab year.

Jon Stewart (5:54)

Mike McCarthy.

Adnan Burke (5:55)

Right.

Jon Stewart (5:55)

He took a little time off.

Adnan Burke (5:56)

A lot of that happens with a lot of coaches.

Bobby Bones (5:58)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (5:59)

I don't know that you would have loved it as much if Vrabel comes from the Titans and goes right to the Patriots.

Bobby Bones (6:04)

Maybe not as much. That's a good point. It's always that saying too. You don't really know what you're missing until it's gone. So you're always like, oh, Belichick, it's time for him to go. Let's get something in. The mayo comes in, you're like, oh my gosh, this is really bad. And then you get something new and you get a little like, you know, rejoice in. In something new. And Bravel coming in, but his team's. I mean, he had Henry, he had Ryan Tannehill, and they went like 12 and 5.

Jon Stewart (6:24)

They had the one seat that one year too.

Adnan Burke (6:26)

But didn't he draft Marcus Mariota or is that before that might have been before him. And then did he have Mariota and.

Bobby Bones (6:33)

Then his front office got rid of AJ Brown, Derrick Henry eventually.

Adnan Burke (6:36)

Well, then stand up, be A man and keep him. You're asking me as a coach. My point isn't so much about Vrabel, but a lot of times when a coach gets fired and takes a year off, there's kind of like this new polish that's put on them.

Jon Stewart (6:47)

And.

Adnan Burke (6:48)

And it's like, oh, I wonder, because he has all these options. Well, he didn't last year.

Jon Stewart (6:52)

And is it. Do you think Vrabel is a good coach, or is it that he's a Patriot and he's back home?

Bobby Bones (6:58)

No, I think he's a good coach. I think Mayo had trouble leading, like, a team and an organization and getting the right coaches. And then Vrabel comes in and he's immediately. I feel like going to have these guys respect and the entire team and the organization is going to buy into what he's selling. With Mayo, I mean, he was all over the place all year, like, throwing his players under the bus, his coaches under the bus, where Vrabel will be, whether it's good or right or right or wrong, he'll say, this is my fault. I'll get on track.

Adnan Burke (7:24)

He's had experience being a head coach. Mayo has not.

Bobby Bones (7:26)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (7:27)

So again, you're comparing Mayo's first year to Vrabel's head coaching career. But again, that's the reason why they're hiring him. I think he's a culture guy. I think he's also a good coach. Because as much as I'm messing around about. Would you have wanted him for the Titans? Like, he did a lot with a little here.

Bobby Bones (7:44)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (7:44)

Or we are.

Bobby Bones (7:45)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (7:45)

It wasn't like they were loading him up with weapons and.

Bobby Bones (7:48)

Yeah. And he said, we need to get the past game going for the Patriots, so.

Adnan Burke (7:52)

Well, then I'm loading. That's what he said.

Bobby Bones (7:55)

We're coming.

Adnan Burke (7:57)

Let's go big. Okay. Let's do best news, then. Best news of the weekend. And it can be in whatever form you want. If it can be sports or life. Is yours going to be variable? Oh, yeah, Eddie.

Jon Stewart (8:08)

I mean, mine's breaking news. I think the best news for us is the Dallas Cowboys got rid of Mike McCarthy and not necessarily it.

Adnan Burke (8:14)

I've been so. My head's been in work all morning.

Jon Stewart (8:16)

We're finally.

Adnan Burke (8:17)

Coach.

Jon Stewart (8:17)

Listen. Now we're open.

Adnan Burke (8:18)

They wouldn't let him interview with the Bears and they fire him.

Jon Stewart (8:21)

Apparently they couldn't get the contract, Right?

Bobby Bones (8:22)

Yeah.

Jon Stewart (8:23)

So it took time to get the length of the contract.

Adnan Burke (8:25)

That's dirty, dog.

Jon Stewart (8:26)

Boom.

Adnan Burke (8:26)

They wouldn't let him interview with the Bears and Then they cut them. Bears job still open, though. Unless.

Jon Stewart (8:30)

But is it dirty dog? Because they let Ezekiel Elliott go to the Chargers and play a playoffs game.

Adnan Burke (8:35)

That's not the same thing.

Jon Stewart (8:36)

Levels it out a little.

Adnan Burke (8:37)

Dude, I did not know you got to film. Is there any other news to that? Again, that's it.

Jon Stewart (8:42)

And he's no longer a cowboy, so now we're open for business.

Adnan Burke (8:45)

Did it just happen?

Bobby Bones (8:46)

Yeah.

Jon Stewart (8:46)

Yeah. Deion Sanders, we're here.

Bobby Bones (8:50)

That's who you want, huh?

Jon Stewart (8:51)

If you bring Shador.

Adnan Burke (8:53)

But you can't just bring Shador. It's not like he can just put him on the flight and be like, I declare Shadora cowboy. And your.

Jon Stewart (8:59)

Your other two sons, even the social.

Adnan Burke (9:00)

Media guy, bring him to Deon Jr.

Jon Stewart (9:03)

Yeah, bring him, too. I mean, look, McCarthy I think, was a pretty good coach. I honestly think that if the Cowboys. If they can just. If Jerry can just let a head coach be a head coach.

Adnan Burke (9:16)

But that's. You're saying if. Dude, he's not done that in his entire lifetime being the owner.

Jon Stewart (9:21)

I know, but I think there are certain coaches, certain people, certain personalities that could do that. And I think Deion could be a personality like that. They can be like, hey, Jerry, come on, let me do my thing.

Adnan Burke (9:32)

Does he sound like Hulk Hogan to you, brother?

Jon Stewart (9:36)

Come on, brother. Let me coach.

Adnan Burke (9:37)

Here we go. I'm just seeing it. So it's posted from when we record this 48 minutes ago. With Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy eligible to talk to other teams after midnight Tuesday. Still haven't been in negotiations on a new deal. And then that gets updated 12 minutes later. Mike McCarthy is not expected to return to the Dallas Cowboys. It is now set to become a free agent. The two sides engaged in no discussions about a new deal. See, that's what sucks, because that makes the Bears thing completely. If they had no talks about a new deal and they kept them from interviewing with the Bears, that sucks.

Jon Stewart (10:09)

It is dirty.

Adnan Burke (10:10)

That's dirty dog. I'll go back to it. McCarthy is expected to be a candidate in Chicago and New Orleans. So Chicago hasn't filled that job. So he can still go.

Jon Stewart (10:18)

There we go. It's okay. We're all good.

Adnan Burke (10:20)

Dang, that's dirty dog, dude.

Jon Stewart (10:23)

So I don't know. It's good news for us. I think just starting new is good news for us. That'd be great.

Bobby Bones (10:26)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (10:27)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (10:27)

Outside of Dion, like, say, a Ben Johnson or because Dion wanted to go.

Adnan Burke (10:32)

To the Raiders, but now they're saying the Raiders don't have interest in Dion. Because Tom Brady's running that. So let's say it's not the Raiders. Let's say it's not the Cowboys. Like, who, Who. Who is it? Because again, Ben Johnson, but he's never been a head coach. You don't think Jerry's going to push him around? He doesn't really have the credibility to go to, like. No. This is how I plan to coach this team.

Jon Stewart (10:51)

Saban saving. Come on.

Adnan Burke (10:53)

Why would you want a college coach who failed in the NFL his first time and is also in his 70s?

Jon Stewart (10:58)

We're all about second chances, dude.

Adnan Burke (11:00)

He's going to live 10 years, much less how long is he going to be able to coach?

Jon Stewart (11:04)

I don't know, man. I don't know.

Bobby Bones (11:06)

Pete Carol, while we're on the old man.

Adnan Burke (11:08)

He wants back in. Yeah, he wants back in.

Jon Stewart (11:10)

P. Carroll's pretty cool.

Adnan Burke (11:13)

You really don't know?

Jon Stewart (11:14)

No clue, dude. No clue. And even, like, if we try to guess, it's going to be someone that we didn't even know.

Adnan Burke (11:19)

How about this Sark?

Jon Stewart (11:22)

Oh, Sark. Not a bad move. Three hours up the road, then have.

Adnan Burke (11:27)

To pay for a big relocation fee.

Jon Stewart (11:28)

Right, right. The moving fees are that bad. Sark could be good.

Adnan Burke (11:32)

If they can't.

Jon Stewart (11:33)

Boom.

Adnan Burke (11:33)

Breaking news. Steve Sarkeesian is now the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Your feeling would be.

Jon Stewart (11:38)

That'd be interesting. But I don't think. I don't think Jerry's gonna let him tell you.

Adnan Burke (11:42)

Would be.

Jon Stewart (11:42)

We're same. Same thing. We're gonna be in the same position. Just another coach rotating through.

Adnan Burke (11:47)

That has been how it's been for like the last 20 years.

Jon Stewart (11:50)

Forever, dude.

Adnan Burke (11:51)

Forever.

Jon Stewart (11:51)

It's the same coach coming in and then them trying, oh, they're going to be the savior and then two years later, like, get rid of them.

Adnan Burke (11:56)

But then why do you think this will be different if Deion.

Jon Stewart (11:59)

Someone like a J like Jimmy Johnson, who can come in and be like, I'm the coach. Let me be the coach. Trust me. Trust me, Jerry, I got this.

Adnan Burke (12:08)

But it hasn't happened in 20 plus years.

Jon Stewart (12:10)

You're right. But who we add Wade Phillips. Like, who we had Jason Garrett just clapping Jason Garrett. Good turnover. Good turnover.

Adnan Burke (12:17)

So you're saying if it is that, that you'll be happy. But do you think it'll be someone like that? Is my question.

Jon Stewart (12:22)

I think it's going to have to be someone like that. So Jerry and the kids understand the situation. They're going to allow someone like that back in.

Adnan Burke (12:30)

Good luck.

Jon Stewart (12:31)

Ah, thank you. Gracias.

Adnan Burke (12:35)

Casey.

Jon Stewart (12:36)

I mean, I'm a Jet fan, so it's been pretty bleak, man. I don't know. No news. I mean, Rex Ryan might be coming back. I don't really want that. I mean, surely like it.

Adnan Burke (12:44)

Surely not. Right. I don't know.

Jon Stewart (12:46)

I mean, he seems pretty convinced on.

Adnan Burke (12:48)

I've watched him be convinced and I've watched him say he hopes that he gets to coach so he can beat Vrabel a couple times a year and say that stuff. But is there really any chance.

Jon Stewart (12:56)

I don't know. I mean, I'm hoping that we could get that Aaron Glenn guy from Detroit, the defensive coordinator, you know, the. The best option I think that we realistically have. As.

Adnan Burke (13:05)

Do you feel like you need someone though, like Eddie's saying, because Woody Johnson, a culture guy.

Jon Stewart (13:09)

Right.

Adnan Burke (13:09)

But someone that can actually have a voice against the owner.

Jon Stewart (13:15)

Yeah. I mean, I was hoping that was Rabel, but once we interviewed him, that's when Kraft fired Mayo. So, you know, the jets helping out the Patri.

Adnan Burke (13:23)

Best case scenario for us, coach.

Jon Stewart (13:25)

Best case scenario. He goes. Dion. I mean, honestly, I think it's got to be Glenn or Ben Johnson, but I want to. One of the Lions guys. Yeah, that would be my pick.

Adnan Burke (13:36)

Reed, what's your best news for the weekend? Oh, man. Mine actually pertains to TV shows. You actually shared it and you shared that the second season of Severance is coming out this week. And that is like one of my. Yeah, one of my favorite shows I've ever watched. And I had no idea that there was even going to be a second season until I saw your story. You didn't even know there were second season.

Jon Stewart (13:54)

No. So you broke the news, Bones.

Adnan Burke (13:56)

You broke the news. Dang. I'm Adam Schefter of Reeds. Come on. Mine is just stopping the. The freezer that I lived in for betting because I was.

Jon Stewart (14:05)

I figured it would be the Texas loss. No, that wasn't the best thing.

Adnan Burke (14:08)

No, it's not. And here's why. I don't like Ohio State either. I'm glad Texas lost eventually. I think the best case scenario for me would have been.

Jon Stewart (14:19)

They both.

Adnan Burke (14:23)

I think Ohio State's just going to run Notre Dame. I don't think Texas would have run Notre Dame. So if Texas would have, like, lucked out. Not even lucked out. They played pretty good. You know, they were. They had a chance close for they first and one. First and goal from the one. Yes. Had Texas been able to win that game, I think Notre Dame would have probably beat them. I Don't think Notre Dame can beat Ohio State. I don't like Ohio State. Winning it.

Jon Stewart (14:51)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (14:51)

So not the best. I'm happy they lost. Thank God they lost. Mostly it's like a relief more than it is a happy little.

Jon Stewart (14:56)

Happy.

Adnan Burke (14:57)

No offense, Mike. Yeah, it was bad. Yeah. I told myself, like, as long as.

Jon Stewart (15:00)

We were competitive, I wasn't gonna be sad, but I was still sad.

Adnan Burke (15:03)

Like, one yard away. And you got to the same spot both years, right?

Jon Stewart (15:06)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (15:06)

Isn't this it? One game away, Final Four.

Bobby Bones (15:08)

What about the screen, Mike? At the end of the first half? 75 yards.

Adnan Burke (15:11)

That's stupid.

Jon Stewart (15:13)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (15:13)

Like, that is so frustrating.

Adnan Burke (15:15)

Well, it was like the worst case.

Jon Stewart (15:17)

Money on it.

Adnan Burke (15:18)

Defensive. Yeah.

Bobby Bones (15:19)

Plus three and a half. Texas, they might screen in the first half.

Adnan Burke (15:22)

It was the worst.

Bobby Bones (15:22)

Three and a half.

Adnan Burke (15:23)

Worst ever defensive call.

Jon Stewart (15:25)

Oh.

Adnan Burke (15:25)

You had a halftime bet. And. And the perfect offensive call because they blitzed.

Bobby Bones (15:29)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (15:30)

And they threw the screen. One guy missed and he was gone.

Jon Stewart (15:34)

Gone.

Adnan Burke (15:35)

So we can second guess that forever, but it was the worst. Meets the best. Worst thing they could have done at that point with them running the screen was blitz those guys. So that's a bad one.

Jon Stewart (15:46)

You see, they benched the kicker, too. Yeah.

Adnan Burke (15:48)

Auburn doesn't kick anymore. I know that hurt, dude. After Stark was all like, you're my favorite. I love you. You're my lovey WW you're my lovey W. Then he moves on.

Jon Stewart (15:57)

Oh, and they kept showing him on the sideline with his curly hair.

Adnan Burke (15:59)

Classic Cowboys coach. You know what I mean?

Jon Stewart (16:03)

That's a Texas thing.

Adnan Burke (16:05)

Yeah. No, mine is again. I think I hit five in a row. I didn't bet the late game last night because I didn't think I'd make it to the end. And I.

Jon Stewart (16:13)

Did you make it?

Adnan Burke (16:14)

No. And I saw the joint this morning.

Jon Stewart (16:15)

Well, it wasn't that late.

Adnan Burke (16:17)

I was tired, dude.

Jon Stewart (16:18)

Okay?

Adnan Burke (16:18)

I was really tired. What time did the game end?

Bobby Bones (16:20)

Yeah, it was like 10:30.

Adnan Burke (16:21)

Oh, yeah. That's late.

Jon Stewart (16:22)

What are you talking about, 10:30. The late news. The night Nightly news.

Adnan Burke (16:26)

I don't even watch the news.

Bobby Bones (16:29)

Yeah, I went to bed, too.

Jon Stewart (16:30)

You missed the doink.

Bobby Bones (16:31)

Yeah, I just.

Jason Demers (16:33)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (16:33)

And also, I didn't even care about that game.

Bobby Bones (16:35)

I didn't care.

Jon Stewart (16:36)

Playoff football. You guys going to sleep early?

Adnan Burke (16:38)

If I were going to rank the games I cared least about, that was probably the one I cared least about.

Jon Stewart (16:44)

It was the closest game out of.

Adnan Burke (16:46)

All of them because again, yeah, they all sucked. Yeah, pretty much. But. Yeah. No, I didn't. I didn't care that much, so. And we can roll through that in a second. But the first round of the NFL playoffs, much like the first round of the college football playoffs.

Jon Stewart (17:02)

Yeah, it was wild cards or the dud.

Adnan Burke (17:04)

Yeah. But it was, it was good because I made a little money. We like that.

Jon Stewart (17:08)

Yeah, man, we love that.

Adnan Burke (17:09)

As we look at the Parlay, we went 2 and 2 of 4, and if you even miss one, you get none.

Jon Stewart (17:15)

Right. That's a parlay.

Adnan Burke (17:16)

Yeah, it works. So that's it. So we didn't. We didn't hit that. To everybody who bet that. I'm sorry.

Jon Stewart (17:21)

I think we missed the first game.

Bobby Bones (17:23)

Yep, we did.

Jon Stewart (17:24)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (17:24)

Oh, the Steelers.

Bobby Bones (17:25)

That was me.

Adnan Burke (17:25)

Yeah. But that was a late Saturday game, so we didn't feel like losers until late Saturday. So all like Saturday, before it even hit, we're like, yeah, we haven't lost.

Jon Stewart (17:33)

Yet because we didn't bet on the Texas game, the Texans.

Adnan Burke (17:36)

You should do pick six, though. Pick six is awesome. You can even do pick six in places where maybe you can't do it, like DraftKings, but pick six and you could do it with the game tonight. You choose more or less. If they have a stat like for example, Vikings at Rams. Sam Darnold, more or less than 265 passing.

Jon Stewart (17:53)

Eddie More. Justin Sling it.

Adnan Burke (17:56)

Justin Jefferson, more or less than 89 yards receiving.

Jon Stewart (17:59)

Way more.

Adnan Burke (18:00)

Puka Nakua more or less than 91 receiving yards. You want all more?

Jon Stewart (18:04)

I think you got to go more. Right?

Adnan Burke (18:06)

And Matt Stafford more or less than 241 passing. That's even less than Sam Darnold's.

Jon Stewart (18:13)

Let's go more.

Adnan Burke (18:13)

You going Four mores.

Jon Stewart (18:14)

Jon Stewart (20:12)

Now you wish you could pull off my short shorts, Ferkie.

Adnan Burke (20:15)

That's sure to cause a ruckus. Listen to NHL Unscripted with Burke and demers, the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or.

Jon Stewart (20:21)

Wherever you get your podcasts.

Adnan Burke (20:28)

Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new podcast, Lots to say. With Bobby Bones and Matt Castle between us, we have over 17,500 passing yards, multiple New York Times bestsellers, and one mirrorball trophy from Dancing with the Star. So where else are you going to find a show with that much athleticism and football insight? Based in Nashville, we're more than just your basic NFL show. We talk sports, but we talk pop culture and music and a little bit of everything because we got lots to say. I texted you and you texted me back. Now, I don't know if you have the update, but, like, all the little thumbs up and heart and stuff, like, it's all colored. They changed it and the heart's a little pink. It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest, it was a little pink. There was something sentimental when you. When you send it. It was like, do I send the heart? Now? I don't like the Color Edition. It's extremely pink. Listen to Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I want to play this for you guys. It's phrases from the 90s. This was a video they put out, like, but it was a vhs, and it made, like, a news show. And this guy's giving phrases from the 90s so parents could know what their kids were saying. Oh, wow.

Jon Stewart (21:44)

This is crazy, dude.

Adnan Burke (21:45)

It's hilarious. Here we go.

Jason Demers (21:48)

Be sure to sound hip in the 90s. Yo.

Adnan Burke (21:51)

A greeting.

Jon Stewart (21:52)

Yo, Curb, what's up?

Jason Demers (21:55)

Clutch the Pearls said in amazement or disbelief.

Jon Stewart (21:59)

Well, you know, he's married.

Adnan Burke (22:00)

Clutch the Pearls. Oh, my.

Jason Demers (22:04)

In the 80s, it was just wasted.

Adnan Burke (22:06)

I don't know how many I had.

Jon Stewart (22:07)

But, boy, did I get.

Adnan Burke (22:08)

I sure felt that was really the worst thing I'd ever bucked. Buck was that one. I hope you didn't drive home.

Jason Demers (22:16)

No way. MacGyver is in the TV show where the impossible is often accomplished.

Adnan Burke (22:22)

I can't believe you got off that speeding ticket.

Jason Demers (22:25)

What a MacGyver.

Adnan Burke (22:27)

Oh, my gosh.

Jon Stewart (22:28)

Secretly, that's funny. I never use Clutch the Pearls.

Adnan Burke (22:33)

When someone clutches their pearls, I don't use it in a saying.

Jon Stewart (22:36)

I'm still going.

Adnan Burke (22:38)

You've really been novel.

Jason Demers (22:41)

Black and Decker or a real tough assignment?

Adnan Burke (22:44)

You get the analogy, right?

Jon Stewart (22:45)

This job is a real grind.

Adnan Burke (22:48)

Just a Black and Decker. Some phrases may be around forever.

Jon Stewart (22:52)

Well, look, I got to run. Peace.

Adnan Burke (22:54)

Bye, Tom. Peace.

Jon Stewart (22:57)

Peace. Peace.

Adnan Burke (22:58)

Clutch the Pearls. If someone's clutching their pearls now, it's like they're faking, like they're offended, and they're not. So you never say it.

Bobby Bones (23:04)

I've never heard that one.

Adnan Burke (23:06)

What?

Jon Stewart (23:06)

Clutch.

Adnan Burke (23:07)

Clutch Pearls. Well, you don't even say it now. It's just like, if you're like, all right, stop clutching your pearls. That's like. Stop acting like you're offended when really you're not.

Jon Stewart (23:13)

Have you ever said that?

Adnan Burke (23:14)

No.

Jon Stewart (23:14)

Okay.

Adnan Burke (23:15)

The only ones of those I've ever.

Jon Stewart (23:16)

Said were Black and Decker.

Bobby Bones (23:19)

MacGyver.

Adnan Burke (23:20)

MacGyver.

Jon Stewart (23:21)

I used to. MacGyver.

Adnan Burke (23:22)

You did?

Jon Stewart (23:23)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (23:23)

Yeah.

Jon Stewart (23:24)

Wow. MacGyver. How'd you do that? How'd you get here so quick?

Bobby Bones (23:26)

I said that one time to my dad, and he's like, you know that.

Jon Stewart (23:29)

He's so proud.

Adnan Burke (23:30)

Maybe like, yo.

Jon Stewart (23:31)

Of course, the greeting piece.

Adnan Burke (23:34)

That was about it. Eddie may have gone a little too hard at basketball practice. Yeah. Are you coaching?

Jon Stewart (23:39)

No, I'm not coaching, but I go to. I take my son to practice. And then the two coaches usually get dads from the. You know, they're sitting on the side and will you help just kind of like stand in or help us kind of with passing. And we were doing charging. The coaches teaching the kids how to take a charge. And so they're like, eddie, Coach Eddie, why don't you get the ball and just like act like you're driving the lane and charge. And so I did. Oh, no, dude, I don't half ass anything, man. I got that ball and I went. Drove the lane. And one. The first kid, he didn't really do it right. He started walking backwards. So then he tripped backwards. I fell on top of them. I made two kids cry the whole. The whole practice. It was terrible.

Adnan Burke (24:18)

It was terrible. There's videos when they do parents versus kids and their kids are like six and they're in football.

Jon Stewart (24:22)

Football. That's good stuff.

Adnan Burke (24:23)

The moms, dude, that's hilarious. That's kind of what I feel like that is.

Jon Stewart (24:27)

Yeah. And some of the other dads are like, okay, Coach Eddie, don't go so hard. Line up on this one a little bit. The brakes, bro. But I feel like if I didn't go hard, they would never learn how to do it. You know what I mean?

Adnan Burke (24:37)

That's not true. They don't need a adult man to run into them.

Jon Stewart (24:42)

No. Like, what's gonna happen come Saturday when a kid comes charging down the lane?

Adnan Burke (24:46)

That's when they learn. That's when you learn. Not when I'm through experience of.

Jon Stewart (24:51)

Okay, maybe I should have lightened up a little bit.

Adnan Burke (24:53)

Your peers gonna give them ptsd. You didn't do that with your kids, though. You just hurt other kids.

Jon Stewart (24:58)

I do it with my kids too.

Adnan Burke (24:59)

No, no, but I'm saying it's a practice.

Jon Stewart (25:00)

No, no. Well, my kid knows how to take a charge. We've already practiced that on our own.

Adnan Burke (25:04)

You'd make him cry at home.

Jon Stewart (25:06)

Exactly. Get it out of the way.

Adnan Burke (25:08)

Just when no one else is around. Ready? You're not. You know, I'm assuming you didn't watch a lot of sports this weekend since you don't normally. Negative. What did you do?

Jon Stewart (25:16)

Let's see.

Adnan Burke (25:16)

This weekend I cleaned my house and I actually recorded a pilot slash first episode of my podcast. So that was fun.

Jon Stewart (25:26)

Wait, I've been a guest on your podcast?

Adnan Burke (25:28)

Yeah, you have. You are a guest.

Jon Stewart (25:30)

Oh, but that's the pilot.

Adnan Burke (25:32)

No. Did. You made the pilot. It'll never be aired. Oh, my goodness.

Jon Stewart (25:34)

That's what I'm hearing.

Adnan Burke (25:36)

That's a Tester, man. It was a tester. I don't know what I'm doing. That's never going to be heard. And you gave your time.

Jon Stewart (25:42)

Hey, that's a dirty dog.

Adnan Burke (25:46)

He was a caller. That's dirty dog, dude. One of our favorite regular guests on the show is BRANDON Marcelo from 247 Sports. Brandon is as dialed in as anyone when it comes to reporting and having insight and follow him at bmarcelo. He has a new podcast out and he talks about that at the end. So let's talk college football with Brandon Marcelo. Brandon looks like he's going somewhere special today. Maybe a job interview. He's got a. A collar under a sweater. What. What's the occasion?

Jason Demers (26:11)

Football Coaches association annual convention meetings. There's like 9,000 coaches here and yeah, where are a lot of Glad it's in Charlotte. It's. It's the one. It's. I think it's. This would set the Guinness world records for loudest daps because it's just a large convention hall and there's thousands of coaches. Just every. And everybody daps. That's. That's all they do, that no one shakes hands. Everybody's dapping. So I. It's very loud in there and it's just constant clapping.

Adnan Burke (26:41)

Who's like the big dog? Who's the star that everyone's like, just looking to get a picture with or say hello to?

Jason Demers (26:46)

Great question. I would probably say.

Jon Stewart (26:52)

You know, the.

Jason Demers (26:52)

Problem is, is that the playoff is still going on. So like the. The coaches that are winning games. I would maybe say Kenny Dillingham at Arizona State because he's the young buck and he just went to the playoff and he's here. A lot of coaches, the head coaches, they don't swing into like the last day, but Kenny Dillingham is someone who's very popular at things like this.

Adnan Burke (27:16)

Well, let's take a look at these past couple of games. It almost feels like you know the song now I can't even sing it.

Jon Stewart (27:23)

Which one?

Adnan Burke (27:24)

I don't know. It's where it's like, now it's time to say goodbye. Not M I C K Y M O U S C but like Sinatra song where he's like, I did it my way. Yeah, it's over. It's like I said goodbye. Like the season's almost over. We got one game left. So we're getting to that point here we got Notre Dame. Let's go there first. Do you think the reason they're not hated as much right now. Two reasons. One because they're playing Ohio State and Ohio State's hated, and two, because Marcus Freeman's like a really likable guy.

Jason Demers (27:51)

That. And I also think because Notre Dame was humbled earlier in the year by losing to Northern Illinois, and I think all of us wrote them off. And for so often, you know, Notre Dame's always been the quote, unquote, overrated team, which is actually, if you look through it, the numbers, it's not actually statistically correct because they've, when they start in the top 10 in the preseason, they usually finish there or near there. So they're not really overrated. But I think what happened is everybody goes in the preseason hating Notre Dame because of that. They think they're overrated. And then in week two, they lose to Northern Illinois, are all like, ha, ha, ha, told you. Notre Dame sucks. And then what do they do behind the background, in the behind the scenes? They just keep winning. They bounce back from that. They handle it the right way. They're underdogs here in the playoff in a lot of games, and they just keep winning. Plus, as you said, Marcus Freeman is a nice guy. He's just a very agreeable guy, someone that you just get along with and comes along pretty well on. On screen. And all of a sudden, Notre Dame's become this just like, underdog story. They're. They are living up to, like, their Rudy legacy, so to speak.

Adnan Burke (29:00)

Do you think there is any chance now, if Ohio State loses, that Ryan Day won't come back next year?

Jason Demers (29:07)

Oh, great question. Anything's possible. I think the one thing that really sticks with me with Ryan Day is just the stories that have come out about his family just really just not liking all the pressure of that job. I mean, you've heard the stories of, and I've seen them, too, at the game against Michigan, them crying on the sideline. Just the pressure is immense there, even when you win, let alone when you lose. And you know there's NFL opportunities out there. You haven't heard Ryan Day's name really come up tie directly with anything. But I'm sure that if he showed interest in an NFL job, one that's open now or might be open later, they would give him a sniff. I just don't know if he'd be. I don't know if he's trying to do that himself, but I think that's the only way he leaves at this point is that the right NFL job comes open and he shows some interest.

Adnan Burke (30:02)

Well, then can I offer a extremely hot take question? If he Wins. Could he leave? Because he's like, this is miserable.

Jason Demers (30:09)

Maybe, yeah. Why not? Again, I think it, again, just seems to be the pressure's immense. And I think it's, I mean, listen, he can stand up there and say, this is what I signed up to do. And you know, how we, you know, not to get too psychological on you, but you know, when you watch these press conferences and I've been doing this for years, Bobby, it's just, you start to realize that coaches and people in everyday life, they're projecting. You know, whenever someone says criticizing you, it's usually a reflection of that own person. And so when I hear Ryan Day at practically every press conference saying, hey, this is what I signed up for. This is, this is why they pay me the big bucks, it just, it sounds like a guy of that's trying to deal with this even internally himself, like, how do I handle this? This is just, this is just terrible. All the hate I get and the pressure I feel and my family's under the gun all the time. And as I said, his family really affected by it. Seen them crying on the sideline. If you win a national championship, it's not going to get any better than that. It's impossible to get better than that. So why not just let that be your legacy at Ohio State? Why not just walk away? So, yeah, Bobby, I could, I could see that happening. He wins a national championship. I could see Ryan Day walking away and going to the NFL. The right opportunity presents itself.

Adnan Burke (31:33)

What would he like? What is Ryan, Ryan Day? Obviously he gave Chip Kelly the play calling duties, but like, where did he cut his teeth? Because again, mostly what I know of Ryan Day is the Ohio State guy who is next up, who could never, who can't beat Michigan, like what it's been so overwhelmed. His story has been that, that I think most people don't know his origin story well.

Jason Demers (31:56)

I think that his origin story in a lot of ways is that he was just, he was an incredible assistant coach, obviously someone that was kind of in line under Urban Meyer previously to keep that going. He understood the culture. You understood how to build that thing out from what it was even under Urban Meyer, because as we know, Urban Meyer went there. Urban Meyer really changed college football twice. And by that I mean he went to Florida and the SEC was strong, but he made it much different. He made it a situation where the sec, other schools had to start raising their level. And I'm talking about like Alabama going on its run, of course, in the 2000 and tens. That's because of Urban Meyer. He raised the level in the sec, then he goes to the Big Ten, and he raised the level there. I'm not so sure Michigan would have won a national title this past year if it was not for Urban Meyer pushing Ohio State over the hump because they were always there in the national conversation under Jim Trussell. And then Urban Meyer took it to a different level. And so Ohio State wanted to keep that going, so they just. They bumped up Ryan Day to keep that going because he understood how that got that all going. And he's been more or less about as good as Jim Trestle, the guy before Urban Meyer. And Jim Trestle's a Hall of Fame type coach, don't get me wrong. But it's not someone who was contending and winning a national title every three years or so, despite he had that run there in the early 2000s. And that's. That's going to be the stigma on any coach at Ohio State. Like, if you don't win a national title, like, in your first, like, four years on the job, you're just dog crap to a lot of people. And that's. That's a. That's an issue. And it's. We've seen it at Florida. The guys who replaced Urban Meyer there, like, they get pushed out quickly. And then. So you not just go to Ohio State where they. They want to win national titles and they have hall of Fame type coaches, but you get Urban Meyer to inject, like, this absolute nitrous oxide into the system of, we got to win, got to win. Winning national championship now. And then Ryan Day steps in as the disciple, and he's not doing it. And also, he's losing to the rival Michigan every year. You can imagine the pressure that goes with that. And I think Ryan Day gets an unfair shake. I think he's an incredible coach. It's just that he gets a bad rap for that, and every little movement of his is ridiculed. And Bobby, I mean, you saw it a few weeks ago at the game against Michigan. I followed him around, you know, filming him just to kind of get his reaction at the loss. And of course, that fight breaks out, and Ryan Day kind of froze up and just stood there and watched it. And you could read in the body language and all that stuff, but the fans just absolutely jumped him for that. Like, why. Why are you not a man of action? Why aren't you getting involved? Why aren't you pulling your players back, telling them to go back to the Locke and get away from that Instead, you're just standing there being completely impotent. And again, every move of this guy is ridiculed. And so I. It goes back to your previous question, like even if he wins a national title, like what else can you do there? If a job came open and it's going to be less pressure, why wouldn't you take it?

Adnan Burke (35:11)

I remember he said, what happened? You had to read his lips when that fight was happening. He was like, what? What happened? And yeah, I felt like again he was even unfairly criticized. He really was wondering what happened. But I hear you and let's go to that game first. Ohio State and Texas. How do you feel Texas played as far as what the expectation was of Texas when they played Ohio State?

Jason Demers (35:35)

I said going into that game that I would not be surprised that Texas takes an early lead. Well, that obviously didn't happen. Ohio State was about to jump on him. And then Travion Henderson had that personal foul penalty where he shoved a guy in the face, Ohio State's running back. And it stopped Ohio State from going up big early and allowed Texas to hang around. Texas had the horses defensively to slow down Ohio State. I think a lot of us knew that going into that game. I just didn't expect that offensively somehow they would have a chance late to win the game or even tie it as we saw late. But then the Quinn years that I've grown accustomed to seeing popped up again. They're about to score late in the game to tie it and he gets strip sacked and they scoop and score and return it for a touchdown and go up 28, 14 and the game's over. It's just Quinn years always seems in these big moments to always have a bad turnover or some situation. And you know, I'm not sold on Quinn yours as a future NFL guy. I know he's high on draft boards and everything, but man, when, when the pressure gets to him, and by pressure I mean like defensive lineman, he just doesn't know how to act back there and his past success rate is just incredibly bad. And you can't have that. I mean we're seeing in the NFL playoffs now, rookies that have done very well are first or second year guys. Jaden Daniels, Michael Penix with the Washington commanders. You know, Penix is a guy that I saw last season at Washington and Washington beat Texas in the College Football Playoff and it was because of Pinnock's just being calm and collected and Texas had an incredible pass rush. But Penix was the guy that got them over the Hump. And that translates. It translates to the NFL. He's now in the NFL, winning. I think the commander's first. I mean, it's just incredible. Like, all this stuff that you see with Michael Penix and then obviously Jaden Daniels as well. You know, Jaden is a special player, Heisman Trophy winner. But you see these guys that were uber successful in college football, and it's translating to the NFL almost right away when they're given their chance. When years, when he gets the NFL, I don't think you're going to see that. I think you're going to see a guy that's going to maybe bounce around from team to team trying to find a spot as a backup.

Adnan Burke (38:04)

I think C.J. stroud's another example of that. Although he's not a rookie this year. Last year he had a great rookie year coming out. So do you see any parallel? And I remember back in the day, Major Applewhite started quarterback at Texas, and it was like, we got to get Chris Sims in. We got to get Chris Sims in. Big controversy. You got Ewers, you got Arch Manning. Well, all of a sudden, when Chris Simms is in, they're like, dang, we kind of miss Applewhite. They're like, wait, you know, maybe jumped the gun. We kind of missed Major Apple White a little bit. Any parallel in your mind there at all?

Jason Demers (38:31)

Good question. I don't think so, because I do think Arch Manning is legit. Like, I. I mean, there'll be people like, rumbling, like in this first, second start potentially next season if he throws an interception, like, oh, Quinn, yours wouldn't have done that. But I think more often than not, he's going to. He's going to be able to make big plays because he's much different from Quinn years from the standpoint that he can run the ball. We've seen that this year they brought him into special packages just to run the ball and pick up downs on third down or even fourth down, even. And he's been very successful in doing that, you know, And I don't think that having the Manning name bothers him or is going to get into his own brain. And I. I think he's going to live up to the hype. And to be quite honest with you, man, I mean, I know, like, people thought Quinn, yours was great, and then they would ridicule from time to time. But, man, I'll tell you what, I think the Texas fans were very patient with Quinn years. I thought this season there were several times where they could have really called for Arch Manning to go in there. But maybe what calm that down. You know what, it's incredible actually still that I think of it because remember Quinn yours got injured and Arch Manning had to go in and start, you know, a game or two. And you would think after seeing that they would be like, no, just keep Quinn yours on the bench. Let's keep going Arch Manning. But I think a lot of people just saw we're winning, we're still winning. This is Quinn yours's last year. Let's just ride this out. Let Archman continue to develop in the backup role and coming on the field every now and again, give us a taste of it. But I think it's probably the best thing for all parties at this point because Arch Manning didn't get that pressure to be a starter right away. He's had an opportunity to develop over these last couple of years and I think he's ready to go, man. I think next season he's going to be a superstar for Texas.

Adnan Burke (40:17)

So if it were three years ago or three years from now, I would think Quinn Ewers best move would be going to the draft, maybe getting a second or third round draft. But because the money is so heavy right now in the portal and it's not going to be like this for long. This is. I would compare this to the time when the NFL decided hey, rookies can't make $100 million. And I think Sam Bradford is one of the last rookies to be able to get that top pick and make money forever. Now they got a, you know, four plus one. You get rookie scale contracts are only so much. But right now look at, you know, look at Miami and you know, they just took the Georgia quarterback and they're paying him roughly 4 million. If I were yours, I would probably go and make more money one more year somewhere else that 3, 4, 5 million bucks. Even if I could be a second or third round pick in the draft.

Jason Demers (41:07)

And those rumors have been out there about him maybe trying getting the transfer portal, we haven't actually heard anything from his camp on along those lines, but there's been discussions in the background among other schools about potentially trying to lure him. And I think there's definitely a point to be made there. Any quarterback or for that matter even receiver or something like that, a guy that you see that's not going to be a day one pick or maybe is a borderline day two to day three pick in the NFL draft, like why wouldn't you come back for another year in college football. Because Bobby, you hit it right on the head like the money. Not to say it's going to dry up, but the money distribution model is going to change after this upcoming season. You know, revenue sharing is starting in college sports in July, but we've got kind of stop gap between January and July where schools are able to just freely spend really whatever they want in nil. And to keep players on campus they're saying hey, they're going to get revenue distribution here in July. But until then, here's a nice little, you know, million dollars, $2 million. And for the high profile guys like you mentioned, Parson Beck going to Miami, you know, it's three, four, five, six dollars. And listen Carson, that's, that's incredible money for Carson Beck. One, because he probably wasn't be selected highly in the NFL draft as far as day one. But also he just had surgery, he just had surgery on his elbow, his throwing elbow and he's going to be out at least until July or August, not able to really throw or participate in practices. So he's going to get paid by Miami all the way up until that point. The revenue sharing model goes into effect starting in July. And so you get to go down there and get paid handsomely to recover and get your body right and then maybe try, you know, not maybe, but he's going to try and play this season. NFL if you're trying to get all that done and you can't throw for the combine, any personal workouts, pro days and all that, your draft stock's just going to continue to fall. So this was a different type of situation to say Quinn, yours but this just made absolute perfect sense for Carson back. But I could see a scenario where Clint, yours is sitting there, you know, and the deadline's coming up obviously here, but that he could maybe do it. But that chatter was really heating up going into that playoff game about a week ago and it's kind of cool since then. So it certainly looks like at this point he's probably going to go to the NFL draft.

Adnan Burke (43:27)

Well, we saw Cammore to get a third, fourth, fifth round grade last year and go to Miami and now he's going to be the number one or two overall pick. So I also think that there's an example of it actually working while also making a lot of money, more money than you're going to make in your first couple to few years in the NFL. I have two final questions. One, James Franklin, the, you know he lost another one can't, you know, I'LL say what everybody says. Can't win the big game. What do you say?

Jason Demers (43:53)

Can't win the big game. Yeah, I mean, He's. He's what, one in 18 against the AP top five in his career, including his days back at Vanderbilt. One in 15 or one in 16 there at Penn State. And, you know, I know a lot of people go, well, listen, he won two playoff games, and yeah, that's great, but they weren't necessarily. They weren't top five type programs. I mean, SMU obviously in the first round, but it's. It's almost, you know, people go, well, that game wasn't his fault. It wasn't coaching mistakes that led to their loss. It was. It was Drew Aller throwing interceptions, throwing an interception late. And my argument for that is that players play the way their coaches coach and act on the sidelines and throughout game week. And it just seems like Penn State, it's not just this year, but every year when it comes down to crunch time late in games, they find a way to lose and losers find a way to lose. Winners don't find ways to lose. And the common denominator and all that has been James Franklin on the sidelines. I think he's a great coach. I don't think he's an elite coach. Elite coaches win top five games one out of every three times. He doesn't do that at all.

Adnan Burke (45:07)

Championship game. Does Notre Dame have a puncher's chance?

Jason Demers (45:11)

I think so. The defense has been incredible all season. I think a lot of people are underplaying the idea that Notre Dame can match up well against Jeremiah Smith, the receiver, freshman phenom for Ohio State. I think that they could potentially slow down that passing game. And look, just this past game, Texas, their defense, slowed down Jeremiah Smith. One catch for three yards. And Smith, as we saw, exploded in that Rose bowl against Oregon just a week prior to that and was great in the first round game against Tennessee, but Texas slowed him down. The key for Notre Dame is just to play well on the outside. Keep Jeremiah Smith and check. And that defensive line where they've lost their top defensive tackle, Riley Mills, led them in sacks, seven and a half sacks. They've been playing without him the last two games and done very well. They gotta slow that run game down and kind of make Ohio State a little bit one dimensional. And by being one dimensional, I think you make Ohio State one dimensional by forcing them to run the ball. And that's how you beat them because that's how Michigan beat them. I mean, Ohio State Kept trying to run the ball against them and they couldn't do it. And then they refused to pass the ball for whatever reason. But if you could slow the passing game and force Ohio State to run the ball. I really like Notre Dame's chances.

Adnan Burke (46:32)

I've been watching your podcast with your wife. How'd you get your wife to do a podcast with you?

Jason Demers (46:36)

It's. It was really kind of her idea. She's been talking about it for years. She even came up with a name for it that I. That's not safe for work.

Adnan Burke (46:45)

It's safer here, though.

Jason Demers (46:46)

We had to. Okay. She wanted to call it Basic Predicts.

Jon Stewart (46:52)

I love it.

Jason Demers (46:55)

That that's what she wanted to call it, but I was like, we can't do that. It's derogatory and all that. It's bad enough that we're doing a podcast together where it seems like I'm talking down to her, but the whole idea is that the idea of the show is she likes college football. She just doesn't know the ins and outs of it. And at home, we barely talk about football or my job. And so this is an opportunity for her to learn more about what I do for a living. But also kind of, she gets to ask just bare bones questions about what's actually going on in the game. And she gets to present ideas that I think every common fan thinks about but is afraid to say because they'll be labeled as dumb or not in the know. And she's just freely out there asking those questions. And, you know, we've done a couple of episodes so far. I think they're going to get a lot better. We've talked about, because we just kind of just sat down, said, let's do this, and we've talked it over and we've got some good ideas. And she's been holding back a little bit on the show and I can't wait till she fully unleashes herself.

Adnan Burke (47:54)

Yeah, it's called Basic af, but Basic Ass Football, right? I mean, that's. That's what it is, right?

Jason Demers (47:58)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Much better than the first recommendation for my wife, but I. I did laugh when she brought it up.

Adnan Burke (48:06)

You guys check out the podcast. I watch it on YouTube. Brandon Marcelo, thank you so much for being with us over the last, you know, 10, 12 weeks. Big fan of your work. You need a vacation.

Adnan Burke (51:24)

Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new podcast, Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. Between us, we have over 17,500 passing yards, multiple New York Times bestsellers, and one mirror ball trophy from Dancing with a Star. So where else are you going to find a show with that much athleticism and football insight? Based in Nashville, we're more than just your basic NFL show. We talk sports, but we talk pop culture and music and a little bit of everything because we got lots to say. I. I texted you and you texted me back. Now, I don't know if you have the update, but, like, all the little thumbs up and heart and stuff, like, it's all colored. They changed it and the heart's a little pink. It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest, it was a little pink.

Jon Stewart (52:07)

There was something sentimental when you.

Adnan Burke (52:09)

When you send it, it was like, do I send the heart now? I don't like the color edition. It's extremely pink. Listen to Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. I announced this week I signed a deal with the NFL. It's called Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. This is us. It's five minutes of us talking with Jared Allen. When you play the game, though, the most exciting part for me was always to watch your youthful enthusiasm. Like, you had fun when you played the game, and that. That permeated throughout the entire team, right? And when you did your sack and you did the bull or whatever the heck you do, right? I mean, that. That's the type of stuff that, you know, not everybody has that they have this workman like mentality, and they're told to act a certain way or do it a certain. In a certain method of. Look, this is how you're supposed to act, but just how you Went out each and every day and we had fun. Like, that's what made you a great teammate, but that's also what made you such a lovable player in the NFL, man.

Matt Castle (53:11)

Yeah, I. Life's too short not to have fun. You know, I gotta remind myself of that in retirement sometimes.

Adnan Burke (53:18)

Now you're just parenting.

Jon Stewart (53:19)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (53:20)

No, do your homework.

Matt Castle (53:21)

Oh, my gosh. Real life issues. No, I thought. But I mean, I literally was fortunate. I told my dad when I was 8 years old I was gonna play professional football. Most parents are like, all right, Johnny, like, go read the books. My dad would drop me off. My dad trained rain and cutting horses, so I managed ranches. So my dad at the ranch we lived at the time was about a mile or so from the gate up to our double wide trailer. Because we were high class back then.

Adnan Burke (53:43)

Yeah, baby.

Matt Castle (53:44)

And so.

Bobby Bones (53:46)

And he.

Matt Castle (53:46)

I was, I could. I mean, what was I, 10 something? And I would run. He'd make me run every night up to the hill. And his whole philosophy is like, you want to be in the pros, you better eat, sleep, drink it, because somebody out there is doing more than you are. So you better, better make sure you're doing the most you could ever do. So most parents are like, yeah, okay, have fun, you know, go to, go to school. My dad was like, you want to be in the Burrows, let's get it. And he. It was, it was hard nosed on it and. But that was, that was all I ever wanted to do. And so when I, When I got to play professional football as a living and make a living doing it, man, I, that's. There's no great. Even on days that suck, even training camp days when you want to. You're just bitching, complaining because it's training camp. You look back and you're like, dude, I'm getting paid money to play a game. This is dope.

Adnan Burke (54:28)

How many celebrations did you have that didn't work out? Because we all know you for the tie. But did you ever do like the giddy up? Did you ever have, like, you have some that didn't catch on?

Matt Castle (54:37)

Yeah, well, that was a thing. My very first one. My very first one I got find $5,000. So my, my tight end, my buddy, my roommate in college are tied in. Never scored a touchdown, right? So I told him, I was like. And he had, he had this brilliant set or touchdown celebration that he's gonna have, right? So we were gonna, we were gonna high five, you know, low five, and then bring it back around, slap the thigh, like bodybuilders and flex it out, right? That was. That was. And I was like, you never got a chance to do it in college. My very first sack. I'm doing that. That preseason don't count, but who cares?

Adnan Burke (55:08)

Yeah, preseason.

Matt Castle (55:09)

First preseason game, I sacked Eli Manning.

Adnan Burke (55:12)

Bam.

Matt Castle (55:12)

I hit that leg. Shake it out. Bam. Flex it. $5,000 for sexually suggestive behavior.

Adnan Burke (55:17)

Oh, my God. That's what they said.

Jon Stewart (55:19)

It was the outside of your thigh.

Adnan Burke (55:20)

Yeah, right here. Were they thinking you were slapping your butt? He's probably trying to.

Matt Castle (55:27)

They said, I gotta find. Well, I didn't get a fine because I was a fourth round pick, so there's other people with my number on the team, right? There was an undrafted free agent lineman with the number 69. They sent him a fine for $5,000.

Jon Stewart (55:38)

For sexual suggestive behavior.

Adnan Burke (55:41)

He's like, what is this?

Matt Castle (55:42)

Oh, he called the league and got it sent to me. And so in the preseason, if you get fined, you don't pay it until you get. Make.

Adnan Burke (55:48)

Make the team.

Matt Castle (55:49)

I'm like, bro, you know, you're not making the team. Like, you.

Adnan Burke (55:51)

You know that. You know there's honest truths, right? He didn't need to push that on to you.

Matt Castle (55:56)

It still cost me five grand for that. And then I had the. The vets, my first couple years, they would just pick celebrations for me to do. Like, all right, this week you're doing the lawnmower Dallas. I had like two sacks against Dallas one year. And Jelly Roll, the original Jelly roll, Lionel Dalton, he's like, all right, this year, this game, you're doing spirit fingers and high kicks.

Jon Stewart (56:17)

I'm like, oh, geez, yes.

Matt Castle (56:19)

This sucks, bro. So finally, finally we caught on. And I gotta give. I was actually telling Dustin Coke with this yesterday. Neil Smith, we went out to dinner. Neil Smith got put into the ring of honor, and Hank Jr. Sang the. The national anthem game. Okay, So I meet up with Neil, and then we ended up going out. We went to dinner with. With Hank Jr. Afterwards, which is a whole nother amazing.

Adnan Burke (56:44)

Yeah, I'm sure that was good.

Matt Castle (56:45)

And. And so Neil's like, hey, man, I really appreciate you doing my celebration. He's like, but, you know, you got to come up with something of your own. So. I grew up on a ranch. I grew up calf roping. And so that's how we came about it. It's talking about. It's like, yeah, let's tie him up. So when you calf rope, you know, you flank your calf, you tie up three legs, throw your hands up. That's when they stop the clock. So we just started doing that on quarterbacks and it stuck.

Adnan Burke (57:05)

And then here's the question for you guys. I have to go on Good Morning Football Tomorrow.

Bobby Bones (57:11)

Awesome.

Adnan Burke (57:12)

On NFL Network.

Jon Stewart (57:13)

Very cool. Incredible.

Adnan Burke (57:14)

Great. Love it. What the crap am I gonna talk about?

Jon Stewart (57:17)

What do you mean?

Adnan Burke (57:18)

Because here's the thing, they're interviewing me. And you know, cuz that show, they have real ballplayers. What they gotta be like, what are we even gonna talk? I have to do a pre interview today. Which means they have somebody call me and go, okay, so here's what we're gonna like. I have no credibility.

Jon Stewart (57:36)

What are you talking about? Mainly your podcast.

Adnan Burke (57:39)

Yes. So they want me to come on to promote lots to say the show I do with Matt Castle, which is an NFL product. Right. It's their show and so they want me to come on to promote it. What do they want to talk to? Like what? Again, I have no credibility in that show. It's like I'm just saying funny stuff or having crazy opinions. I mean, I was getting dragged a little bit for telling Kurt Warner he was hot and take his helmet off.

Bobby Bones (58:05)

I saw some comments.

Adnan Burke (58:06)

Yeah. But then they ended up playing that on other NFL shows because they thought it was the funniest thing ever. Oh no, for sure. I would do it again. I'm just saying I'm not the typical person that you'd put on like a hardcore football show on a hardcore football network. So I think what makes me different is I have a question. It's like, hey man, you're really good looking. Does it suck you have to wear a helmet? Like that's the kind of stuff I think about. So maybe I pitch stories to them today for me to talk about. What do I pitch them?

Bobby Bones (58:33)

Top five best looking quarterbacks?

Adnan Burke (58:35)

Maybe I don't.

Jon Stewart (58:37)

You go all that route, that's going to be your brand.

Adnan Burke (58:39)

Then I don't think they're going to. They're going to interview me, right? So it's not like I'm a host coming up with segments. Like when I hosted Rich Eisen, that's what I did. I came up with segments that's much easier for me because I can have. I come up with a thousand segments that are sports related. I'm pretty knowledgeable, pretty funny. But like those guys, they're gonna be like, what the crap do we talk to him about? Because it's not like I know more than them about anything in football. So on a football show, what are they? What? What's the deal?

Jon Stewart (59:10)

What if you take the angle of like, you're just the fan, like, because you do geek out over these days.

Adnan Burke (59:15)

That's every podcast. Every podcast is like, we got the fan and the player. That's like, lame. And that is. It is. That's everybody.

Jon Stewart (59:22)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (59:23)

Because that show though is more of like a pop culture show. Because it's a morning show, like a typical, any like news morning show, but it's a football related morning show. So you can almost take like a pop culture sense of it, whether it's country music or whatever.

Adnan Burke (59:34)

I don't want to go on talking about country music.

Bobby Bones (59:37)

You worked in top 40 before. I don't talk about music in general.

Jon Stewart (59:40)

Well, Titans got number, the number one pick. So they might ask you about that. So maybe.

Adnan Burke (59:45)

Okay. So I can tell them to ask me about that. Okay. Because I know enough about. And I'll be like, I also think they need to change the color of their uniforms because they look slow.

Jon Stewart (59:51)

That's good stuff. There we go.

Adnan Burke (59:52)

Their colors look slow. They're slow colors and we have them and we're never going to get to the next level unless we change our colors. That'd be the kind of bullcrap.

Jon Stewart (60:00)

Who likes baby blue?

Adnan Burke (60:01)

Dude, there are slow colors.

Bobby Bones (60:03)

New stadium coming. They got to get new uniforms with it.

Adnan Burke (60:06)

But I don't. So maybe something about that number one pick. What should the Titans do? But again.

Jon Stewart (60:12)

Oh, you know what you're really funny at whenever you talk about playing Madden because you, you're really good at Madden and then you try to pitch Madden.

Adnan Burke (60:20)

Stuff to like, yeah, maybe I should just. Maybe that's what I should do. That's a good point. Because I like talking about Madden or college football.

Jon Stewart (60:27)

Yes.

Adnan Burke (60:27)

And dude, I've learned a lot though. I'm telling you, like, you know, different shells defensively and shells into formations and, you know, good job, dude. Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure.

Jon Stewart (60:38)

You're putting in the work.

Adnan Burke (60:39)

I'm putting in the work. I've put in a lot of film, study on YouTube, watching like other 12 year olds tell me how to be better on defense.

Jon Stewart (60:45)

Kevin, we were working out and he was like watching his phone. I'm like, what are you doing? You watching a game? Because it sounded like a game. He's like, yeah, I'm watching a game. Like, who's playing right now? It was like 3:00 on a Thursday. He's like, oh, no, it's a Madden game. One of our buddies playing a Madden.

Bobby Bones (60:57)

Game on Twitch or something.

Adnan Burke (60:59)

Yeah, it was on Twitch and it was NCAA Football. And we have a gamble league.

Bobby Bones (61:03)

We have a gamble league, yeah.

Adnan Burke (61:06)

So we gamble on the league. And it was getting close to the College Football Playoff and I was making sure, you know, I was watching him.

Jon Stewart (61:12)

I'm sure everything was kosher.

Adnan Burke (61:14)

I was getting ahead of it a little bit.

Jon Stewart (61:16)

So maybe that's it, Bones. I don't know.

Adnan Burke (61:17)

I think that's funny. Like a humorous way to get into it, because it's not like they're gonna ask me or care about what I really think when it comes to X's and O's with the NFL, that's not even what I do. Right. So. But I'm doing that tomorrow. It's live tomorrow. Oh, I'm gonna do it from here.

Jon Stewart (61:35)

What time?

Adnan Burke (61:36)

I think I'm doing it from here. Like 10:30 or something.

Jon Stewart (61:38)

Okay. Are they on the east coast?

Adnan Burke (61:40)

West.

Jon Stewart (61:40)

Other west coast.

Adnan Burke (61:41)

Yeah, west coast. We can go through the games real quick. Chargers and Texans. I've said this forever, so I'm not saying this right now for the first time. I've said this for every time we've spoke about this for three years, Justin Herbert. Meh.

Jon Stewart (61:58)

Yeah. I mean, you just waited. You've waited a long time because you're like, I feel like he's going to turn around, it's going to get better. But it never really got better.

Adnan Burke (62:07)

No, that's not what I say. I feel like at some point it has to, based on what everybody is saying.

Jon Stewart (62:12)

There we go.

Adnan Burke (62:13)

I've never seen it. It. They have. They anointed him.

Jon Stewart (62:16)

Right.

Adnan Burke (62:16)

And I've been saying forever, I don't see it. But again, I just watch Madden. Right?

Jon Stewart (62:21)

You're a Madden player.

Adnan Burke (62:22)

Yeah, Madden player. So. Oh, I do four touches. I do four interceptions. Yeah.

Jon Stewart (62:26)

The lights are just too bright for him in the biggest moments.

Adnan Burke (62:28)

And it's. Listen, he doesn't have a lot of weapons. I get it. I think McConkey's about it.

Jon Stewart (62:32)

He's like. He's 12. Yeah, 12 and a half. Looks like one of my kids out there. But he's so good.

Bobby Bones (62:40)

That touchdown was unbelievable.

Adnan Burke (62:41)

Oh, yeah. Like the adr. Yeah. Texans ran.

Jon Stewart (62:46)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (62:47)

Especially at the end.

Jon Stewart (62:48)

Second half, I was making chili and I could just hear the tv, like, another interception block. Field goal for two points.

Bobby Bones (62:56)

Like, gosh, our guy, Cameron Dicker got lit.

Jon Stewart (62:59)

Yeah, he did.

Adnan Burke (63:00)

Stanley played awesome cornerback for the Texans.

Bobby Bones (63:03)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (63:04)

Ravens and Steelers. Now, I'll confess this about this game. I watched it and I think it was 28 nothing and I turned it off. I think that was the score. It was over. And then I turned it back on. It was 2814. They had the ball. I was like, oh, God. And then I was like, nah, now it's over.

Bobby Bones (63:17)

Yeah, I did the same thing.

Adnan Burke (63:18)

Yeah, I. I didn't even really jump back in. I was watching. We were watching a movie at that point, watching Arrival. Have you guys ever seen Rival Amy Adams?

Jon Stewart (63:25)

I don't like Amy Adams.

Adnan Burke (63:27)

Oh, I know. You have a weird thing.

Jon Stewart (63:28)

I don't know what it is.

Adnan Burke (63:31)

Paintings or something, and it's like aliens communicating. Right?

Jon Stewart (63:35)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (63:36)

Yeah, Yeah, I liked it.

Adnan Burke (63:37)

I loved it. It. Yeah, I love those type of movies. Me too. I thought it was awesome. Freaking sign. The. Yeah, No, I go with science. The science. Oh, you say science movie. Oh, no. Signs is a good one too, though. I. Yeah, I saw Signs.

Jon Stewart (63:49)

M Night.

Adnan Burke (63:50)

Yeah. Yeah, I think I saw Signs. It was good, though.

Jon Stewart (63:54)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (63:54)

Yeah, I like it. You're just now watching it? My wife will look for movies. And she goes, hey, we should watch this movie, Arrival. And I'm like, I don't know. And she goes, well, it's got aliens in it. I'm like, to watch it. It's great that she likes those type of. She doesn't, but she tries to find one that she can stand because I hate movies in general. It's too long for me to sit there. And so we watched it. She loved it, too. Yeah. Yeah.

Bobby Bones (64:18)

Jeremy Renner, huh?

Adnan Burke (64:20)

Why'd you hate me? Why do you hate Amy?

Jon Stewart (64:21)

I have no idea. Just see her on screen. I'm like, I don't like that. I don't like how she makes me feel. She doesn't make me. She doesn't make me feel good. I don't know.

Adnan Burke (64:27)

She's like, wholesome.

Jon Stewart (64:28)

I don't know what it is.

Bobby Bones (64:29)

She's awesome.

Jon Stewart (64:30)

Is there a role that she plays where she's really mean or something? Hmm. Maybe I watched a movie where she was really mean.

Adnan Burke (64:37)

Let's just look up Amy Adams movie, shall we?

Jon Stewart (64:39)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (64:39)

Well, you think she's got a punchable face or something?

Jon Stewart (64:41)

I don't know what it is. It's like Joaquin Phoenix, too. It's like something about him, like he makes me nervous.

Adnan Burke (64:48)

Amy Adams movies. She has a movie called Disenchanted. It's like a. I don't know, Disney type movie. Dear Evan Hansen. The woman in the Window.

Jon Stewart (64:58)

The woman in the Window. She's got to be mean in that one.

Adnan Burke (65:00)

So have you seen it?

Jon Stewart (65:01)

I don't know. Maybe.

Adnan Burke (65:02)

But you would know if you've seen. You can't just pick a title. Hell of a movie. And be like, I bet she's meaning that one.

Jon Stewart (65:06)

It's not true. The other day, somebody was telling me a movie. I'm like, oh, that's cool. What's it about? And. And they started telling me, like, I've seen that movie. I just forgot the title.

Adnan Burke (65:12)

I've not seen the Woman in the window maybe.

Jon Stewart (65:14)

I don't know.

Adnan Burke (65:15)

Justice League Hillbilly Elegy Vice by Dick Cheney.

Jon Stewart (65:20)

Oh, where?

Jason Demers (65:20)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Adnan Burke (65:21)

Dick Cheney was Arrival. Batman versus Superman. Big Eyes. American Hustle. Her lullaby.

Jon Stewart (65:26)

American Hustle.

Bobby Bones (65:27)

When she, like, she's like a con. Like the.

Jon Stewart (65:30)

She's the wife of someone, right?

Bobby Bones (65:32)

Yeah, of.

Adnan Burke (65:33)

Was she punching it?

Jon Stewart (65:35)

No, no, I didn't say that. Read.

Adnan Burke (65:36)

Did I say that? Man of Steel. Trouble with the Curve. Clint Eastwood. The baseball movie.

Bobby Bones (65:42)

The Fighter.

Adnan Burke (65:43)

The Fighter.

Jon Stewart (65:44)

I don't know.

Adnan Burke (65:44)

The Muppets. It's probably for the Muppets.

Jon Stewart (65:46)

Oh, it's gotta be the Muppets.

Adnan Burke (65:47)

Dude, I think you have this thing where you probably like and secretly in love with her and you can't have her, so you hate her.

Jon Stewart (65:52)

Not true.

Adnan Burke (65:53)

She's been in a lot of movies. Golly, catch me if you can.

Jon Stewart (65:58)

That's Tom Hanks, right?

Adnan Burke (66:00)

DiCaprio. That was awesome. Yeah.

Jon Stewart (66:02)

True story.

Adnan Burke (66:03)

Ish.

Jon Stewart (66:04)

Based on a true story.

Adnan Burke (66:05)

Yeah. Talladega Nights, Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Dude, I know what the movie is.

Jon Stewart (66:11)

I don't. Both. You can name all the movies. I don't know what it is, but when I see her, I'm just like, I don't like her. Or if somebody's like, hey, let's watch this movie. It's Amy Adams. I'm like, I don't want to watch it.

Adnan Burke (66:22)

There's something.

Jon Stewart (66:23)

Do you have an actor like that?

Bobby Bones (66:24)

Yeah, I have.

Jon Stewart (66:26)

Shoot.

Bobby Bones (66:26)

Why can't your name. Pretty is a pretty woman.

Adnan Burke (66:28)

What's.

Bobby Bones (66:29)

I have that about Julia Roberts. I don't know what it is either.

Jon Stewart (66:32)

Boom. See, you can't explain it.

Bobby Bones (66:33)

Yeah. I'm like, I see her on there. I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm good. I don't need to watch that.

Adnan Burke (66:36)

So has she done a movie you watch? It was really bad. And then you think, I don't want to sit through another.

Bobby Bones (66:40)

That's what I've always. I tried to pinpoint it to that. I'm like, what movie did she. That I watched? Maybe when I was young, but I can't. I don't know.

Adnan Burke (66:47)

Movie. Mike. What's wrong with these guys? I don't know.

Jon Stewart (66:49)

Amy Adams is, like, always a nice.

Adnan Burke (66:50)

Person in most of her movies. Yeah. Wholesome. And Julia Roberts, America's sweetheart. Yeah, I'm not. Yeah.

Bobby Bones (66:57)

I don't know, guys. I wish I knew. Maybe it has a deeper meaning, you know?

Jon Stewart (67:01)

Reed, do you have an actor like that?

Adnan Burke (67:03)

I kind of feel that way about Amy Schumer now. You can not like her comedy, though, or feel like her personality, because these. But with Roberts, and they're just actors. Amy Adams, you don't really know about their personal lives that much. You. With Amy Schumer, you can just hate her comedy.

Jason Demers (67:17)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (67:17)

I don't know, because she's really not known as an actress. She's done some acting, but I think mostly you just hate her comedy, I guess. So you guys hate anybody's comedy where you're like, they're just not funny and everybody loves them.

Jon Stewart (67:31)

I don't hate his comedy. I just don't understand why everyone loves his comedy. And that's Nate Bergatz.

Adnan Burke (67:37)

Same. Oh, he's super funny to me. And he's super clean.

Jon Stewart (67:40)

He's very clean.

Adnan Burke (67:40)

Yeah. And so you don't get. You don't get why he's so popular right now.

Jon Stewart (67:44)

Correct. Like, I'll watch a special and I'll watch for 30 minutes and maybe do a. That's the most. I would laugh.

Bobby Bones (67:50)

Yeah. I turned his. With the one on Netflix. I would watch 20 minutes. I'm like, I'm okay.

Adnan Burke (67:55)

Why you think that is? It's just not for you.

Bobby Bones (67:57)

It's just not for me. And I'm not hating on his comedy because I know what kind of comedy I think I like, and that's just not it.

Adnan Burke (68:02)

You like lots of F words and.

Jon Stewart (68:04)

Yeah, you do. You like the.

Bobby Bones (68:06)

Yeah, I don't. I like the cussing. I think it's more relatable for some reason, to me.

Adnan Burke (68:09)

I like the cussing, too.

Bobby Bones (68:10)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (68:10)

I don't mind that. I don't know. I think he's funny. I think he's found a way to be funny, clean.

Jon Stewart (68:13)

But, like, my wife loves him and she'll, like, we'll sit. Sit together, watch the special. And she's like, crying tears, and I'm looking at her like, are you serious? Like, well, this is why you don't think I'm funny sometimes.

Adnan Burke (68:24)

You know who, for me isn't that funny? And I think it's just a culture thing. Or any of the Mexican comedians.

Jon Stewart (68:30)

What the. Raised up Gabriel and Glacia. What you talking about, man?

Adnan Burke (68:36)

And not all of them, but when they do. And it could be, it could be Gabriel Iglesias or Carlos Matias, they have really funny things. But when they go into the Mexican culture stuff, sometimes I just miss it.

Bobby Bones (68:46)

Oh, you can't relate to it or.

Adnan Burke (68:47)

Yeah, I mean, I don't even know what they're saying sometimes. Like when they're making like jokes and throwing in Spanish words, I'm just like, I don't know what's happening.

Jon Stewart (68:54)

Yeah, George Lopez does that all the time.

Adnan Burke (68:56)

So. Yeah, and I've mostly George Lopez on tv. But it could be, I guess it doesn't have to be the, the Mexican ish comics. It could be any culture. I don't understand. I watched a guy who was Asian and he was doing a lot of Asian jokes and it doesn't get, I didn't get them. So I was like, man, I bet people are loving this. I just don't get it. That's not my culture.

Jon Stewart (69:19)

I see what you're saying. Cause the Mexican comedians, there's a lot of like, oh my gosh, we do do that. That's funny and that's what we think is funny about it.

Adnan Burke (69:27)

And I would bet that there are Mexicans, Hispanics, Latinos that would watch like get er done and be like what the heck, you know, that like real redneck type stuff because some of them are very culture specific. And that's when I get lost. I completely respect because if people, a lot people think it's funny, there's something to it that I'm not getting. But yeah, a lot of those guys, cuz they're so big, like the Gabriel Iglesias, he's huge. He's huge. And some of his stuff is so funny. But when it goes really Mexican, I have trouble. I don't know, I don't, I don't get the joke.

Jon Stewart (69:57)

That makes sense.

Adnan Burke (69:58)

Yeah, I don't get the joke.

Jon Stewart (69:59)

But Nate Bragazzi, like he's a dad like me, you know, Like I think what he's saying is funny. Like the topics he's talking about is funny. I just don't understand how he's selling out. Like a huge arena. It feels like when he does stand up, it feels like I'm at a little dinner party and he's at the table telling a story and I'm like, that guy's funny.

Adnan Burke (70:17)

He is your Gabriel Iglesias. You're Mexican. You don't get the white guy's humor, man. That's what it is. Okay, so I'm gonna go with the. Yeah, like the culture comedians That I don't get. Sometimes Matt Rife's not that funny to me.

Bobby Bones (70:35)

Yeah, he's a little extra sometimes, but.

Adnan Burke (70:38)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes he's not that funny to me. But again, my opinion doesn't matter because I'm only one person who's really funny to you.

Bobby Bones (70:46)

I've never seen. Well, no, I was gonna say a full stand up.

Adnan Burke (70:50)

I don't know.

Bobby Bones (70:50)

But I mean, Theo Vaughn just in.

Adnan Burke (70:52)

Clips version is podcast the Ovon super funny.

Jon Stewart (70:55)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (70:55)

His stand up stuff's pretty good.

Bobby Bones (70:57)

Okay, pretty good.

Adnan Burke (70:58)

But him long form is way better.

Bobby Bones (71:00)

Really?

Adnan Burke (71:00)

Yeah, I think. Mike, what do you think about that? Yeah, I would agree.

Jon Stewart (71:04)

Small clips.

Adnan Burke (71:05)

Yeah. I don't really think he's known for his specials. Like, I watched one on Netflix. Yeah, it's pretty good. But again, him, I will watch the Ovon crap when someone's like, someone asked him if he was racist and he goes. I don't say he goes. But I guess sometimes I get so mad, I'll write it down like, that crap is so funny because he's just like thinking, I think he's best in.

Bobby Bones (71:24)

Like the whole interview part too, because he just coming up with stuff as. As it's flowing and you can see it in his head, working, working, working. Then he comes out with something. So to me, like a stand up for him would where it's more thought out. I don't know if it'd be as good.

Adnan Burke (71:35)

He was so funny. I told you. We had like dinner with him. Yeah, like, he came over and sat with us. It was me and my wife and Brett Eldridge. And we're just at dinner and he was sitting one over. I don't want to bother anybody, but he didn't have food on his table. And I wasn't like in a Met, and so I was like, hey, Theo and Bobby Bones, this was a big fan. I think it's super funny. And he just has a notebook out and he's like writing on his notebook. Hey, man. He goes, oh. I said, I watch a lot of your stuff online. He goes, I'm a big fan of your videos too. At this point. I'm like, is he really? But I don't know. And I was like, well, thanks, man. Don't want to bother you. Walk back to the table, go, do you mind if I come over and hang out with you guys?

Jon Stewart (72:10)

I'd be like, huh?

Adnan Burke (72:11)

And I was like, all right, come on. So he walks right over and sits down with me and Caitlin and Brett for like 15 minutes till his food shows. Up because he'd ordered it.

Jon Stewart (72:18)

That's cool.

Adnan Burke (72:18)

I remember the story told. It was so freaking funny. It was something about his buddies. One of his buddies took him, like, turkey hunting, and they had. This is not a joke. It's a story. And I'm going to tell it poorly, But I remember being so funny. This is what he thought. His buddy, like, took him turkey hunting because he's from Louisiana and, you know, grew up around all that. By the way, his dad had it when he was, like, 70. Yeah, his dad was born, like, 1910 or something.

Jon Stewart (72:44)

What the.

Adnan Burke (72:44)

Yeah.

Jon Stewart (72:45)

Oh, and he's from another country, too, right?

Adnan Burke (72:46)

No, he's from Louisiana. Yes.

Jon Stewart (72:47)

No, no, no. But he sometimes. He always talks about how he's, like, Chilean or something. He's like, real, bro. I'm Nicaraguan, dude.

Adnan Burke (72:56)

I thought. I thought you meant really Ovon.

Bobby Bones (72:58)

Yes.

Adnan Burke (73:00)

So he sits down, he's talking about his buddy taking him turkey hunting. And he goes, man, we go out all day, we don't see any turkeys. Have a little lunch, go back, go back out again, three more hours, I don't see any turkeys. He go, it was because we're talking about Arkansas. And that's where he went turkey hunting. So this is how I know this wasn't, like, a bit. He goes, oh, well, we went over to Camden. We were turkey hunting. He goes, spent first four hours of the day and seeing turkeys. We went and ate, went back out and seen turkeys. Said, finished up, got back in the truck, put all our stuff away. We're driving out and we see some turkeys. My buddy's like, pull truck over. Let's shoot these turkeys. He's like, no, the game's over. Like, he's like, the horn sounded. You know, you don't finish a basketball game and be like, I feel like, I can take him now, coach. Let's go get him. He goes, no, we time expired. We were done. And I remember laughing so hard.

Jon Stewart (73:42)

That is really funny.

Adnan Burke (73:43)

And I was like, this dude's, like, funny. Like, I don't know if hanging out with him for that brief period of time, I don't think it's an act or a gimmick. Like, I don't think it's a put on.

Jon Stewart (73:53)

It seems genuine. Yeah.

Bobby Bones (73:54)

Yeah.

Adnan Burke (73:55)

And it was just, like, odd, but very funny. And then he was like, my food's over there. I'm gonna go eat now. I was like, all right, buddy, see you later.

Jon Stewart (74:04)

That's hilarious.

Bobby Bones (74:04)

I met him at a concert one time.

Adnan Burke (74:06)

Really?

Bobby Bones (74:06)

Yeah. I just Took a quick picture with him. That was it. But it was super cool.

Adnan Burke (74:09)

Before he was famous.

Bobby Bones (74:10)

No, this is three years ago. Still. Adam Morgan wall in concert.

Adnan Burke (74:16)

Let's see. Broncos, Bills. Bills. Hey, the game's a game for a second.

Jon Stewart (74:24)

Yeah. Bills dominated this game for like, the first two minutes.

Adnan Burke (74:27)

Yeah. Three, four minutes. Eagles. Packers. You know what? The Eagles didn't even look that good.

Jon Stewart (74:32)

No. A.J. brown was reading a book.

Adnan Burke (74:34)

Yeah, it didn't.

Jon Stewart (74:34)

Apparently that book is now like an Amazon bestseller. The one that he pulled out.

Adnan Burke (74:37)

Yeah, it was called, like, he was.

Jon Stewart (74:39)

Reading a book on the sideline.

Adnan Burke (74:40)

It was called, like, giving it your best or winning or something.

Jon Stewart (74:42)

It's a motivational thing. Yeah, he did that on Purp. Nervous because the cameras. There's no way he has, like, catch for 10 yards.

Adnan Burke (74:47)

So that was like his way of.

Jon Stewart (74:49)

Passive aggressively, you know, causing the scene. So that makes sense.

Adnan Burke (74:52)

And then Commanders beat the Bucks 20 to 20. And they kicked. There's a game tonight.

Jon Stewart (74:56)

Rams.

Adnan Burke (74:57)

Like we talked about the. Brandon, you got the national championship. Who cares? I think we're good. I hope Notre Dame wins, but me too. Probably not going to.

Jon Stewart (75:06)

That'd be cool. That was a good game. Penn State, Notre Dame.

Adnan Burke (75:10)

It was good.

Jon Stewart (75:12)

It feels like a lifetime ago.

Adnan Burke (75:14)

It does. With all the games since then. It was. And shout out to my wife because there was a lot of football over the last three or four days.

Jon Stewart (75:21)

Oh, really? See, I felt like this was a treat for my wife because there was more. I guess there were more important games that we had to watch, but there were less games and a little break maybe, like. Right.

Adnan Burke (75:34)

I feel like all the games are so important. I need to watch all of them. Yeah. Because they were all so important. So it was like, gotta watch the CFP game. Gotta watch this one the next night. And we're all. We were snowed in too, so there's nothing else to do except hang out. And so.

Jon Stewart (75:47)

But there was a break, I think, on Friday. No, there wasn't.

Bobby Bones (75:50)

No, Friday night.

Jon Stewart (75:51)

There were no breaks.

Adnan Burke (75:51)

Also, Arkansas play basketball. You're right. I watched that game.

Jon Stewart (75:54)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (75:54)

I pulled array and I watched the NFL game on my laptop while. Because my fiance's mom is in town while they watch tv. It was great. No sound.

Adnan Burke (76:04)

So shout out to my wife for that. That's it. I think that's it. We'll be back later on this week. Shout out to all the comedians we loved. And for the record, I like Mexicans. It's just when I don't understand the comedy and not all Mexican comedy. Just parts when it's in Spanish or it has to do with, like, Mexican culture, I don't get. So you know what? Say what you will.

Jon Stewart (76:30)

I got you.

Adnan Burke (76:31)
