  Speaker 5: think about these 400 episodes is absolutely wild. And then

  Speaker 5: the biggest tier one out there. I'm not saying there's
• 2:47

  Speaker 5: everything we do. He's been massive on.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: X, Twitter.

  Speaker 5: Both platforms. Dude, he's been everywhere. He was at the

  Speaker 4: Boys posts, he has a comment in there. And it's
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: just so sick to see the tier ones. The guys
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: were with us in the gravel parking lot, the guys
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and girls that they are, they are actually being rewarded
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: their ROI, the return on investment they have for listening
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: to a podcast. It's awesome to see. It is so
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: cool that people are like a part of it and
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: they're finally getting something out of it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Just the vibes are up right now.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Vibes are up. I'll just say that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Vibes are up. Spooktober's in the air.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It's here.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: It's a little cool outside.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's nice.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: We're starting to put jeans on a little bit in
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: the morning. I walked outside this morning. Mitch brought it
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: up right before we started rolling. 50 degrees this morning.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I walked outside. I was like, maybe I do put
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: a hoodie on. But then I looked at the weather.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Level of heads prevailed. But following like Wednesday this week,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Thursday this week, it's 70s. All day, every day.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Right in time.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Right in time for Spooktober.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Big one. Oh, yeah. Big one.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I would like to just suggest one thing and you
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: guys do whatever you want with the statement that I make.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Would love a little bit of grace. In the first
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: couple of days of Spooktober, we had that fumigation thing
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: happening over the weekend. So I can't decorate. I can't
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: coordinate decorations. I'm going to get with Sherm, Nolan, Klump,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: and maybe one other before then. And so then after
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the fumigation thing takes place, so October 4th, Spooktober 4th.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: It's kind of what we need to, is that okay?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Can I tell you something?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Tell me whatever you want. I'm not even worried about
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you with this spooktober.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Like there's no like micro, like when I've thought about spooktober,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: I haven't thought about, it hasn't been like a microscope
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: on Taylor LeJuan. So yeah, I guess you'll have the grace,
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: but I'm not even worried about it from the standpoint of,
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: I know you're ready to knock this out of the park.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Spooktober one is Thursday.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: But if I decorate and then there's a fumigation process,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: like I don't know how that stuff works.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it works.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Dude, we never even heard of fumigation. I mean, no
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: bad ideas in a brainstorm. Fumigation sounds like a good
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: opportunity for a haunted house here.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: It does sound like a good opportunity.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Fumigation is honestly probably a great start.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe we keep the tent up. We keep the tent
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: up in the shop. Maybe we come in this weekend.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Maybe we.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. With the bugs, dude.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: It's just like a smoke machine.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a giant.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Smoke machine that allows you to go to a different
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: alternate universe. And that's what Spooktober is all about, dude.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Getting banged up with the boys. Getting banged up with
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: your buddies, dude, while the weather is breaking. Is that
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: not what Spooktober is all about?
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: The audience is ready to take over Spooktober as they're
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: dropping happy 400 comments right now. Yeah. And also we
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: had comments last week. Again, you want to be featured
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: on the show. All you got to do is drop
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: a comment in the YouTube channel on Spotify. We'll find it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: We'll feature you on the show. Seth Miller here. Zach
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Thomas got to be the best interview of the year.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: It's hard for me to just say he's tip top.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Cause I feel like we've had so many great ones
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: this year.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: It's, but I'll be a prisoner of the moment.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: This is the same as when everyone's like, Oh, who
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: was the best guest you've ever had? It's like, dude,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Like we've had a lot of great guests.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: We've had a lot of fun.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I can remember like one specific one when people ask like,
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: who was the worst guest? I remember that one pretty good,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: but it's, I feel like that was more like you
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: and me early stages than anything else. Or was it
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: really him with the worst guests or best guests?
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: The worst guests. I feel like it was a mix.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: You kind of just know when it's happening, what's going down.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Like we have Darius Rucker on today for the interview.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: He was like the storytelling we get into toward the
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: end of the episode. I mean, he's one of the homies.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: He's awesome.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Can you zoom in a little bit more on this one?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Give me a little scoot there. Thank you very much.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: This one comes from Avance1. They were talking about White
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: House with the presidents. They were referring to Michael Irvin's
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: White House, the Coke Palace. And then Stacky Brown.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Media goes, yep.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I love the yep.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I do love the yep, too.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: The Cook Palace. Sherm, you're the one that pulls these? Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I love how you put the yep in there, dude.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. It's good to see.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: This is a good one here by old Nicky Brown, 5264.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: These fines by the NFL for acting like drinking a
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: beer are making me want to do the Stone Cold
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Steve Austin, then take two more beers and pour them
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: on Goodell.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: Oof.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: That's from Nikki Brown. That's from Nikki Brown.

  Speaker 5: This segment is sponsored by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.

  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: YouTube TV, multi-view, amazing ways to watch multiple games at once.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: 12 o'clock slate. Get the Titans and the Ravens. At
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: the Ravens. Titans looking to get back on track. Ravens
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: coming back from Rio. Excited to watch that one. Also,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Patriots and Bills. Patriots. Got to pick it up a
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: little bit on offense, but they've been playing well. They
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: were in the Super Bowl last year. The Bills seem
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: like they're absolutely fighting out the new stadium at Buffalo.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: They've been doing an incredible job. Jets and Bears. Jets
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: and Bears. Does Caleb Williams play? I don't know, but
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I do know one thing. Ben Johnson's always going to
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: have those boys ready to go. And the Jets seem
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: sneaky this year. They seem like a sneaky squad. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: then finally, the Jaguars at the Bengals. Bengals dropped one
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: last week to the Steelers. Both great teams. Defense has
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: shown up in a big way. Always Joe Burrow is
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: going to be there. And then how about Trevor Lawrence?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence and Liam Stone in Jacksonville. Those boys are
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: going to have them all firing. And that's what my multi-view.

• 9:01
  Speaker 4: you could find a Kevin's Natural Foods clean take in there.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: But it is just kind of crazy that the NFL
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: is deciding that all of a sudden we're cracking down
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: on cracking beers.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Kyle juice check. And again, I love how everybody-
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: You shake juice, juice, juice. Cause he's hitting some juice
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: or maybe a protein shake. Yeah. Again, it's like, he's
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: been doing that forever.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: And I hate to make this about me. I was
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: hitting a, I hit a stone cold celebration after an interception.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I never got fine.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Dennis Kelly, he scored a touchdown at the Titans and
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: we all, he was, he had a cooler tossed out
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: beers to the boys and we all cracked one together.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And that's the fun.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Like, don't tread on Fundum, dude.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Don't tread on Fundum.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Don't tread on Fundum and touchdown celebrations.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: People are going to hear us before the interview starts.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Shout out Bud Light because they sponsor the interviews.
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And they are the official beer of the NFL.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: So does Bud Light have a great opportunity here to
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: pay these fines?
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Bud Light does.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Does Bud Light have a great opportunity here? Every drinking
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: brand out there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: And drinking brand, I'm not, even outside of alcohol, like
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: even Holly Pop, any juice brand out there, Mott's Apple Juice,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Marinelli's Apple Juice, like what an op to go get
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: juice check right now on your roster, pay his fine,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: get him part of the brand, and run a couple
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: custom socials with him.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Dude, they always do like throughout like, In camp, they'll
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: bring people in and be like, hey, this is what
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the NFL is really cracking down on as far as
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: rules go. I wonder if it was mentioned. We're not
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: fake drinking beers anymore. We can't do that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And Juszczyk, the fact that he has... Juszczyk. Juszczyk.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Juszczyk, he's doing a little media from his locker. In
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: the corner of the locker, it says, not beer, where
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: his little cup is. And it's all taped around. It's
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: written with Sharpie. Like, everyone calls him Juice. The stadium
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: yells Juice every time he catches the ball or has
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: a run.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So... that's got to get rescinded.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so, hey, NFL, how can I celebrate my name
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: being Juice now?
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: You're going to take this celebration away from me. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: for people that weren't keeping up, that haven't followed all
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: these fines and everything else, multiple guys are getting sniped,
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: getting fines on the NFL. Over and over again. Because
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: they're doing drinking celebrations.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And Juice just does this.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: He does this. I think there's a world where he
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: goes full mime Capri Sun on them. Pulls it out,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: gets the thing, and then stabs it. That's his new,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: the straw. If you add the straw to a Capri Sun.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Imagine if you got juice breaking through a wall. He's
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: now the Kool-Aid man. He's like the guy for Kool-Aid.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Hits him with an oh yeah.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: That's a Dane Cook joke, by the way, Jared. That's
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: a good Dane Cook joke, if you're wondering. Oh, yeah.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. You better clean that up before my parents
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: get home.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That's good old-fashioned fun right there. Here comes the
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: ones from TrickDaddy55. Boys, die hard, Giants fan. Got the
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Jackson Dart news that he may be done for the year.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: I'm in such a dark place. WTF did he do?
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: What did we do to be cursed like this? No
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: way this is the boat curse still. This is a
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: higher power. that just hates the Giants. But know this,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: the Dark Knight Rises is in the works. Coleman, who's
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: our Giants fan, he said at the pre-production meeting, this
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: is what it takes for a Knicks championship. Because apparently
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: all these sports in New York are all pulled together.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: So if one does well, there has to be something
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: that happens on.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: The other side.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: This giant season, Jackson Dart, he was the sacrifice for
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the Knicks title. Heartbreak Hotel.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: He wrote that comment before you got You got nine
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: now in the house. JJ McCarthy getting traded to the Giants.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Flip around the six. And Coleman said this over a
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: week ago, trade for JJ McCarthy. And I was like, yeah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: We laughed at him. We laughed.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I thought to myself, this is too ridiculous for me
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: to even bring up on Get Up on Thursday.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: I thought it'd be a fun thing to do. But
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: now that it's actually happened, it's like, wow, what a
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: missed off by me. And I think the Giants made
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: the best move. I don't know, long-term with Jackson Dart
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: and J.J. McCarthy because J.J. McCarthy, I expect him to
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: play very, very well because he's coming from the school
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: of Kevin O'Connell and he's officially has the title of
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: bust on his hands.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: So it's like, you bring him over, Harbaugh, culture, Scataboo.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: It'll be very interesting to see what goes down over there.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because you can't have, you can't have Jameis Winston
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: and Scataboo running into each other.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: That's... Backed up on like their own three-yard line. That's
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: as tough as it gets. Hey, Jameis Winston, just a,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: we talk about poets, like, This guy is a poet.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: He doesn't stop cooking. He doesn't stop cooking, dude. He's
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: absolutely incredible.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Do you feel like he trolls?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Jameis?
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: A little bit on the mic now?
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: No, I feel like that's just him. When we interviewed
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: him at the Super Bowl, was it this past year
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: or two years ago?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple years ago.
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: He is truly like a reverend. He just speaks from
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: his heart. I don't think it's a troll.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I don't think Jameis Winston has a troll bone in
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: his body.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: He's a man of God.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: He's a man of God. He's a man of the people.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I love, too, after he talked about, that's what we wanted.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Six times suit 12 that's for you jackson dart it
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: was written it was like i love this win because
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: we scored 12 points yes and that's for jackson.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Dart uh one guy that definitely doesn't love this win
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: or a whole fan base that doesn't love it what
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: the hell is going on with the titans jack disgusting
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: it's disgusting won the weather in that game disgusting yeah
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: titans didn't have a first down until i think a
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: minute and 52 seconds left in the first half we
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: didn't have one first down Our O-line's actually playing decent.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: I think there was three pressures total, zero sacks.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: We just got to talk about the bad.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: We'll lose a lot of NFL audience right now if
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: we just continue to hammer the Titans.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: We're going to button this up into 90 seconds on
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: the Titans. We're going to start the timer right now.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: I love for one to be on the screen and go.
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: Cam Ward makes a horrible decision throwing a pick. It's
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: first down. We have two timeouts left. We're in the
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: red zone and he throws it directly through the secondary.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: You can truly do anything in that situation and come
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: out better than the outcome of the game. He could
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: have ran out of bounds. He could have slid and
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: taken a loss for yards. And it's just bad. We're
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: getting to this point now where the Titans fandom is asking,
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: is Cam Ward the guy we thought he was? And
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: majority are saying no. I'm not ready to have the
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: conversation yet, but I am so fucking close, man.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You're really close.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: I'm so close.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: That interception was kind of a little bit of a bow.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Where it's like, is he, is he not? That's where
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: a lot of people who are sitting on the fence
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: kind of turn towards. He is not the guy. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: you have that one multiple timeouts as well.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: We have two, we have two timeouts. And I mean,
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: it's like the urgency play. Everyone saw that one where
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: he's just standing back there like a civilian.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Which looks really cool if it's a 40-yard bomb.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: When he's at Miami doing it, it looks cool because
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: they're up like 50 to nothing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: And you see it with Dable. He's up in the boxes.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: Oh, slamming the press box.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: 30 seconds?
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: It's just tough, dude. It's tough to see. Like the defense,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: it looks like they played well, but like, okay, did
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: they play well or was that because of the weather?
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Because it was such a sloppy game. So everyone's being
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: very conservative with their play calling. The whole Northeast was
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: kind of in a blender with the clouds and the rain.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: So overall, dude.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Tough. Bad.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: We did say we're going to look at this team,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: how competitive they are in the fourth quarter, and the
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: reality is they were in both games the last two weeks.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: Like Salah said, we're two plays away from being 2-1.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And that's all the time we have.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Time, time, time.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Two plays away from being 2-1. You know who's 2-1?
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: The entire AFC North.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Wow. How about the Browns rattling off two in a row?
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: They're 2-1.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: How about the Steelers?
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Steelers are 1-2.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: No.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: No.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: What?
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Steelers are 2-1.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: They're 2-1. Steelers beat the Bengals. We're talking about get up.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: And you called it. And some underdogs. Well, who's an
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: underdog this week?
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, Steelers.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why next week. Yeah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: You went on national television, a place where people were
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: there to break down the football game. And you said,
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Steelers are going to win, but we'll find out after
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: the win.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Don't worry about it. What are the reasons why?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: We don't know those reasons until Sunday happens.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Because there's nothing for me to show you on film
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: that says this is why they're going to win the game. However, dude,
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: they ran the ball well.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the way the Bengals have been playing, this should
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: be a blowout.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Bengals at Pittsburgh.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: That's what makes NFL so difficult, dude. It's because every
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: week it's like, oh, this team's dead. No, they're not.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: They're back alive.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, this team's crushing it. They're going to be like,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: look at the Bengals. Look at the way they're starting.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: No, they're dead.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: And the Houston Texans, they're 0-3.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And Chargers, Bucs are 0-3.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: It's just- It's wide. I mean, I was about to
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: say it's wide open in the NFL. But honestly, it is.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: It's like you look at even the Patriots too.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: There's no team that's dominant. Patriots are in a bad
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: spot right now. Patriots are sitting there with Drake May going,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: is he even the guy right now? People are starting
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: to turn their back on Drake May.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I know.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: It is not good out there in New England.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: And I saw you guys just kind of whisper back
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: and forth about the Chiefs, but you watch the broadcast
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: and they're talking about The same thing that the Patriots
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: had last year, which is their schedule. They haven't had
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: an easy schedule like this in forever because they're playing
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: all the bottom tier teams because of how their record
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: went last year. So yeah, the Chiefs are kind of nice.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Last night, go watch the first three with Chase Daniel.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Chase pulled the stat that Drake May, through all of
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: last season up until the AFC Championship, had zero games
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: of two interceptions. In Drake May's last three games, In
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: three of the last four games, Drake May has thrown
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: more than two interceptions.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I know. You got Vrab going double arms on the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: shoulder pads. Yeah. Talking him down a little bit. Like, yeah, it's...
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: They're like, what is your concern level with this football team?
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Vrab's like, hi. He's like, hi.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: This is a perfect funeral meeting. Perfect funeral meeting taking
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: place at the Patriots. How many times every season do
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: we bring up the funeral meeting? And it's like, yep,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: this is another one for them to.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Get it done.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, you know who's dominating?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: It just clicked in my brain. Who? Silver or black? Bills. Bills.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Bills are nice.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Bills have been dominating.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Bills are nice.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: It feels like to me that the Rams should be
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: two and.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: One right now. Bro, that pass interference.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: That pass interference was not really pass interference, was it?
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: There was nine plays within the 15-yard line for the
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Broncos on that final drive. They had nine plays within
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: the 15-yard line.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: That's nuts.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: But also- Devil's advocate. Staff can't throw that pick six.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: Most pick sixes ever.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Two series before that. It was, and it's so funny
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: listening to Chris Collinsworth break it down because he's like,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: clearly this is zone coverage.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: And it's like, buddy, there's so many defenders across the
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: line of scrimmage. And they were just, I want to
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: say they might've been in man and Hufunga just goes
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: and makes a hell of a play. That's my guess
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: because the slant was also wide open because Hufunga left
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: the slant. It seemed like the other guy behind him.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I think it was an out and a corner. It
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: was like a smash little concept.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to say they were rubbing. One goes out.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: I want to say the other one was running like
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: a slant, right? He would have been wide open.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I think he broke in and then ran a corner,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: and that's why Hufunga jumped on the out route.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, whatever decision Hufunga makes there, you got
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: to just go to the other guy because they're wide open.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Because the other guy who was in coverage was a
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: safety or whoever behind Hufunga. It could have been a quarter.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: It could have been inverted.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: But see, look at old boy.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep. Multiple guys wide open.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: But he's talking about it being in zone. It's just
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Hufunga within five yards. The other guy is sitting in
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: the back end, and they're kind of waiting to see
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: it develop. Like Hufunga just makes a hell of a play.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: You see 22 back there?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: It's not like there were guys lined up outside the hash.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: It was just Hufunga sitting on top of that stack.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: And he goes and makes a hell of a play,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: takes it to the house.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: So Hufunga's telling you, man, everything else is telling you zone.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah i was just laughing because chris collinsworth is kind
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: of just going out just going after stafford he's like
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: clearly this is zone coverage right here it's like what
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: is kind of telling you zone in this look like
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: it's just ufunga standing out there so dude with.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: The next drive he goes three plays 80 yards for
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: a touch right.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Right yeah i stafford i mean jack kind of whispered
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: it but most pick sixes ever 33 yeah.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: He He does, yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Also, 20,000 yards thrown for two separate teams, first time
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: in history. Stafford got that done.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Clean take.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Clean take. I mean, that's just a clean stat.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Matt Stafford's a good football player.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Matthew Stafford is a good football player. Kevin Hesterfield's
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: a clean take.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Raiders, 3-0.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Hey, Raiders are a good football team. Another clean take.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: Kirko Thuggins is dealing. They got a bit of a
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: run game. They can get after the quarterback. Max Crosby
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: is Max Crosby. But the Raiders are spicy, man.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Kobe Dean, Clay Walker.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Dude, Kobe Dean shot the A-gap yesterday and put his
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: face on Kamara. And it was beautiful. I had to
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: run it back a couple different times. Oh, my God.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: At what point? Luke Kuechly breaking the depth. He's like,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: this is just a good linebacker football play right here.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: It's so crazy that we sat in the beginning of
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: the year and said, oh, I wonder how many games
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: until they replace Kirko with Mendoza. And now it's worth
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: looking at, hey, are the Raiders a playoff football team?
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Right now? Dude, they're undefeated. First time since 2021 they've
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: won their first three.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: God.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Shout out Kirko. And you know they're playing.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: With some juice Kubiak in the locker room after the game.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Like all the boys are fired up, Kubiak deserves a
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: lot of credit, man. When we sat with him at
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: the training camp tour, the fact that he was all
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: ball to the point where it's like, we're not getting
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: a whole lot of this interview. It's just kind of
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: nice to be in his presence a little bit. Like
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: the guy that's showing why he's all ball. Cause he
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: figures out ways, but points on the board, man, gets
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: his team to play the best of their abilities. And
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: they had good leadership.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And the defense is playing well. Yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I like that a lot. Tuckins with the grill. We
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: got to get, we got to get Kirko. One of
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: those mouthpiece grills. Get that done.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: Hey, you brought them up earlier. What the hell? is
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: going on with the Texans.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know, bro.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: I have no clue how to fix that, what to do.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: CJ Stroud, just money has just fallen away from him
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: right now because you can't, we can't have it. They're
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: not running the ball well. They're not really getting it done.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Defense is like, we, dude, the first week we sat
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: there and we're like, can the Texans defense like be
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: as good as last year or is it like a
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: little bit of a drop off? We're both like, no.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: It's the Texans defense. It's the Texans defense. They're going
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: to be unbelievable. And there's still like things just falling
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: through a little bit. Cowboys, I don't know what to
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: tell you about the Cowboys either.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: I cannot believe what happened in that game. I was
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: thinking we're getting OT right here. Dak, he's on my
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: fantasy roster in one of my leagues. But I'm like,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: all right, we're going to get an OT game here.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: Seven seconds left and you kick a fucking touchback. Spot
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: them on the 35. Then you give them a chunk
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: play on defense. It's like almost a 30-yard play to Flowers.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: They get down call timeout and bang it in for
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: the win.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even a touchback. They kicked it out of bounds.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: So they get on the 30.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: As opposed to the 25?
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I want to say the ball was spotted on the 35,
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: wasn't it?
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that's because they kicked it out
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: of bounds. Touchback, I think, is on the 25.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Got you, got you, got you.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I believe it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Isn't it normally the 40 for a kick out of bounds?
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Still, can't happen.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: Either way, can't happen.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Still, the Ravens, yeah, you'd be able to have that
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: chunk play against that defense when, you know, Derrick Henry,
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: two touchdowns and able to kick it with a couple
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: seconds left is just brutal. Just brutal for the Cowboys.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: That we both thought so highly of going into the season.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And a couple of things too, like Ravens is almost
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: blowing another fourth quarter.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got that monkey off their back a little bit.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But Ravens 2-1, Steelers 2-1, Bengals 2-1, Browns 2-1. I
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: am like Browns rattling off tuna road. Deshaun Watson getting
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: his first win at home too. Getting the first win
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: at home. I wonder what the fan base is thinking about.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: If you're a Browns fan and you're in this episode
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: right now, go and leave a comment. How do we
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: feel about the Browns right now? How do we feel
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: about Deshaun Watson right now?
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: They still boo him when he'll come on the field. Yeah,
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to be like that for a minute.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of baggage that comes with that guy. So, hey,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: but two wins in a row. What'd they say? Winning
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: solves everything?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's what they say.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: We'll see. We will see how real are the Browns
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: right now. And if you're... Who was the guy that
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: got traded for Myles Garrett?
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Jared Verse.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jared Verse. if you're Jared verse and you're two
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: and one, you look at your old team and they're
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: one and two, like that's a nice feeling right now.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Things could dramatically change very soon and knowing the Browns,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: but like go and soak that in on a beautiful
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Tuesday morning.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Suit that in and be like, yeah, look at us.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Cause we get to week eight could become, you know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: could be old school Browns and old school Rams and
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: it all flipped. Now you're a sad boy. Be happy
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: now on the horizon of spooktober.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: We're talking about trends right now. The Niners again, injuries
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: starting to pile up a little bit. Mike Evans goes down.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Trent Williams goes down.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I think Trent came back though, no? I want to
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: say it was just a stinger. It was just a
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: stinger and then Mike Evans was like a rib.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Don't sleep on them stingers now, bro. That shit is brutal.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: If you get a stinger and sometimes all it takes
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: is one little hit and then it flares up to
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: where even the gentlest of touch and direction, it's the worst.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Have you had stingers?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had a couple stingers.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: Buddy, I had it my second year. I got it
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: like week four and then I would get like three
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: or four a game. for the rest of the year
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: to the point where it's like, this is so brutal.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: It's a horrible.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: And your arm just goes numb.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Your arm just goes numb. It's a shocking feeling. It
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: feels terrible. You start to get nervous about putting your
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: face into things. You start like reevaluating like, okay, how
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: can I get into this block differently? Yeah, it sucks.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Trent Williams, greatest tackle of all time. So I'm not
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: worried about him, but still that shit sucks. Injuries going down.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Brian Burns down. They brought, I want to say, what
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: was it for Mike Evans rib?
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: Lung. Something like Oregon.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: It looked like he was not able to breathe. Like
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: it was in a, He was in a lot of pain.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you said A-chan, Brian Burns, both tore their ACL.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: I know Burns going down with the ACL.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: A-chan too.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It's all right. Yeah, J.J.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: McCarthy's coming to save the day. J.J. McCarthy's coming to
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: do it. It's a perfect script for him to go
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: ball out right now. It's a perfect script. Will he
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: do it?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: History says yes. He'll probably just be the backup, right?
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: For a couple weeks.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: You get Jameis in there, the playbook. You think J.J.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: 's going to take over the starting spot? You think
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: that'll be the plan with him trading? Is that the
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: talk right now?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Why else would you make trades?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, also, yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: To have just a solid back.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Up because you might not believe in the one behind
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Jameis Winston.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I think if everything goes their way, and I don't
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: know what they traded for, they would want J.J. to
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: show enough in prizes to be like, hey, Jameis, go
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: into debt. Like, we want J.J.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: To.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: They would want J.J. to succeed right here and be
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: the guy. Still a first-round pick. A lot of talent there.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: And he's been dubbed a bust. I feel like that's
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: the key thing here. He's been dubbed a bust.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that face is painted flying out to
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: New York right now. Yeah, dude.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: He's just gritting his teeth. I wonder who's on that
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: plane right now. Is it JJ or is it 9?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Because I'm sure you have to do an emergency landing
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: if it's 9 out there right now.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: You know? I don't know. We'll see, dude.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: We'll see. I don't love the trade idea for the Giants.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: I don't love it.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Vikings have looked amazing, too. Their defense
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: with B-Flo.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Brian Flores is always going to have them boys playing.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: He had them boys running around a little bit opportunistic.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: A lot of blitzes happening over there, Brian Flores.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Blake Cashman out there rocking the 51?
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: What?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Good ball players.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: I thought they unanimously voted for 51 to be retired.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: I told them immediately, no, no, we're not going to
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: do that. We're not going to make this happen.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 28:08

  Speaker 5: 11 consecutive titles. They're going for their 12th right now.

  Speaker 5: I was like, yo, you've won like 20 state titles
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: in the two thousands. He's like, yeah, I'll tell you what.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: They wouldn't be talking about De La Salle. If we were,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: if we got those 10 points back in, I don't know, 2013, maybe.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: And he's talking about these 10 points and the OC
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: is like, Oh, we've been chasing them 10 points. I'm like,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: you guys won 11 straight. And you guys are worried
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: about 10 points back in 2013.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And Coach Nick's like, the kids, man, you know

• 34:25
  Speaker 5: Dude, they were pumped.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: It was awesome.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: While Will's there, me and the boys were in the
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: back of your truck kind of waiting because we decided

  Speaker 4: or whatever. But right next to it is a food city.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: So we pull off in the food city parking lot.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Let's go hang out. Just talk some ball.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Talk some ball.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Talk about this win by Alcoa.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: We go in there, grab some snacks and it's kind
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: of winding down a little bit. Matt's over in the
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: corner doing God knows what. Me, Shane and Will are
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: sitting there. And Shane, what did Shane say about Matt?
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: He's like, yo, what's this guy's deal?
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: He's like, Hey, your boy's doing too much. And I'm like, Oh,
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: he's a good kid.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: He means well.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: And once I say that, it was like this right
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: in between the two trucks matches standing there and he's
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: yelling something.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: They don't know about me, man. And we're like, Oh yeah,
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: he does that laugh. And we'll just go, God damn it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Because you're trying to defend Matt. It's like, no, no, no, Shane.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: He's a good kid.
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: Matt flew too close to the sun because Matt, if
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: you go to his Instagram, posted a reel at the
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: Alcoa game, walking out on the field. And it was
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: a funny thing.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Friday Night Lights song.
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: JP and I convinced him to put it on his
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: hard grid instead of a story. Shane sees it. Shane says,
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: that's funny. And then we get to Food City and
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: Matt is like full in Drewski impersonator, like trying to
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: be this character. And then- It just went downhill for him.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Him and another guy were like going back and forth,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: like improv-ing skits.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: It was Connor. Yeah.
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: Connor.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: It was like a coach and like a player who
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: didn't have a good game.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: There was like talk about like homecoming invites. And the
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: reason I was like watching, I'm like, what the hell
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: is going on here? But at the end of the day,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: just a bunch of guys having fun.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Shane and I are sitting there and we're going
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: through old you cause you come to, and then we're
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: looking at your, uh, Arizona high school rankings. Yeah. Shane
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: and I are just on rivals. Cause I'm learning that
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: Shane had a bad-ass high school football team. LeSean McCoy
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: was the running back. He's naming.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Can I, can I, Hey, Hey, Hey, can I tell
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: you something? I'm watching Shane tell you guys about Pennsylvania
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: football and his high school he went to. And he's
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: like saying all the players. You're like, yo, that's crazy.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: And you go to tell somebody. And Shane walked over
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: and goes, I never went to that high school. I
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: was just saying that to get rid of it.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: And I forgot about that until right now. What am
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I supposed to think? Exactly. No, I'm with you. Like
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: you got got in a way. I'm like, oh, no
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: wonder you got a scholarship to Army. You had LeSean McCoy.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: You had everybody. You had all these goons.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: Because it should have made a little bit more sense
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: because he's going to the old Rivals Top 100 back
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: in like 07 or 08.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: And this is after he told me.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's like scrolling. He's like, he keeps bringing up,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: what's the school that LeSean McCoy?
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: He went to Shane Gill's in the Trinity.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, Shane, you son of a bitch, bro. But he's like, oh,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: they must've changed the rankings a little bit.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: Cause he's like, we had five guys in the top
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: 100 in rivals. I'm like, oh bro, you were part
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: of a squad. He said they went undefeated and they
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: lost to the state title game.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, my bad, bro.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: I didn't know, you know, much respect to you.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: You went over to like, hey, hey, Cody, you got
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: to check this out.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Listen to where Shane went.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Shane goes, I never went to that school.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Don't tell him that. It's such a weird thing. Remember
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl a couple of years ago? Like he
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: talked about him and LeSean, like they stayed each other's house.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Like they'd have like, they'd be standing up late playing
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: video games and stuff. I was like, I didn't put
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: it together that you guys are on the same team. Dude,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: that's so funny.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: This all started when we're driving to the game. everything's cordial.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Everything's nice.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: But Shane starts telling me like, you played on my
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: high school football team. You wouldn't even started Taylor.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: What are we doing?
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: What do you, what do you say? He's like, nah,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: you would have sat behind me. I'm like, Shane, what
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: the fuck are you talking about? And so then into
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: the banter had to go back and forth a lot, dude.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: So everything's awesome. We're the point where it's like, we've
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: maximized the potential of this night. It's now in the
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: wind down process where it's like, damn, it is kind
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: of late. We do have to be up pretty early.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: for this activation for the tailgate tour, it's probably time
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: to get out of here. And so as it's like
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: the feeling of like, we got to wrap this up
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: takes place. All of a sudden blue lights hit us
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: and the cops pull up. We got tipped to it though.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: I didn't get tipped to it. Someone said that there
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: was a tipping. I wasn't tipped on the tip.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Lady drives up, she's leaving. She's like, Hey, just
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: want to let you guys know that there's a gal
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: who went in there is complaining about, noise with you
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: guys just a heads up that there could be somebody
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: coming up to her that there could be somebody from
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: the store coming outside so we're like all right oh
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: good appreciate the heads.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: Up yeah so the blue lights pull up this cop
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: gets out and he's.
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: Like classic knoxville east tennessee cop the big the old.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Guy yeah he was like he was mad he was
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: like what are we what are y'all doing out here
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: we all kind of like is everybody around the truck
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: right now and this is my id he's like what
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: is the reason why.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Y'all are out here?
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: And I just go, there's not a reason that I
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: can give you.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: God, I want that play back.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: There's not a good reason. We love high school football, sir.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because you go look at a Knoxville coach and go,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: we wanted to watch Friday Night Lights and decided that
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: this is, we wanted to drink beer in a parking lot.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: You look around, you guys are grown men.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Grown ass men.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: And we don't have one kid playing on that team.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: That is crazy.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: He's like, what the hell did he say?
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: He goes, where are y'all from? We go, Nashville. He goes,
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure the open container laws are the same
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: in Nashville. They are in Knoxville. We're all just like, yes, sir.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir. Let me see some IDs.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Your boy Connor starts squirreling around the back. Starts like
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: popping the trunk and the cops are like, hey, who's
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: this one scrolling around back here? And I'm thinking, what
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: the fuck are you doing?
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: He just had his passport and it's locked in JP's trunk.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: So he's just like over there kind of like, oh fuck, like.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: I need it.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: And then JP's like, don't bring me into this.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. It's like, hey, just wait and be like,
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: you have your ID? Be like, oh, it's in the truck.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Do you mind if I go grab it real quick?
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: Not scrolling around the corner to pop a trunk where
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: this one cop has 15 dudes around him. So we're
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: sitting there and it's like, I'm thinking to myself, hey,
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: this is funny. Like hopefully we don't get in a
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: lot of trouble. And then another cop pulls up, black
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: chick gets out. She goes, oh shit, let's go.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: She goes, she goes, Jesus Christ, this is awesome.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: Another cop pulls out and he's like, oh, busting with
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: the boys. I thought they were lying over the radio.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: And I go, you think that's awesome, man. We got
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: an extra treat for you. Shane Gillis is right there
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: as well. He's like, oh shit. So we're sitting there like.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: We're still getting our licenses checked and everything else. And
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: the dude's coming up. He's like, hey, can we take
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: a photo? And we do the pose. I'm like, as
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: long as we're all good, Ted.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: He's like, as long as we're straight, yeah, we'll get
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: a photo.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: We're good to go. So we take a photo, dude.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: And the grumpy cop that pulls up, he ends up
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: being like, listen, take your snacks, take your beer, and
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: just get out of here. Go have a couple of
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: beers somewhere else. And that, it was- Such a peak
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: moment of Bustin' with the Boys.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: All of us just hanging out, talking about Friday Night Lights.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: The point where we're driving back, I got to take
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: Shane back to the hotel, which was the worst part
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: of the night. But I'm thinking like, how awesome would
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: it have been if we actually got arrested? And the
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: press release that comes out of Bustin' with the Boys
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: and Shane Gillis get arrested for going to Friday Night
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Lights and drinking beers in a parking lot. Like that
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: might've been the biggest W Bustin's ever taken in its life.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: We had to pull, we had to pull the Knoxville
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: three weeks later for like our court date. And it's like,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: how do you play? We're like, not guilty for being awesome.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: Like just having a good time. We would have, we
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: would have, we would have knocked that out of flying
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: colors though. Cause the, the, uh, we were calling him grumpy.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Like he, like he.
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: Was just kind of doing his, he was just kind
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: of going through the steps. He was going through the steps,
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: but he's like, uh, anybody here sober and i'm like
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: just immediately yeah yes sir yes sir like everybody who's
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: driving is completely fine there were three just hanging out
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: alcohol won a big one yeah they beat their ass
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: we wanted to celebrate because we hadn't gotten the boys together.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: We had three vehicles me will and uh jp had
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: not had one bit of not one beer nothing and
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: he's like all right get in your cars and get
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: out yeah not to mention i got pulled over at
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: five in the morning Yeah, I went and left my
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: house with Coleman and Klump, and I started going a
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: little too fast down the road, get pulled over. Within
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: four minutes of us driving to Knoxville, guy pulls up,
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: and within five minutes, he's like, listen, I know you're
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: trying to get to work. I'm like, oh, I'm going
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: to Knoxville. And Klump's like, no, no, no, we're.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: Going to work.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: That is work.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: And he's like, here's a warning, get out of here.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: So two, less than 24 hours, two interactions, two different
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: cities with two different guys.
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: Well, what's even crazier is that my route to Knoxville,
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: I got pulled over, but I did get a speeding
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: ticket because the system is broken for guys like me.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: You should have been respectful.
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: I was very respectful. And I said, I was going
• 43:19
  Speaker 7: to work too. And then I mentioned, I said podcast.
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: And I think that's immediately where he goes, this guy's
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: getting a ticket.
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: How fast were you going?
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: 82 in a 60, but it's at this point where
• 43:29
  Speaker 7: you're coming into Knox County, essentially, and you're going downhill,
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: and the speed limit goes from 70 to 60 in
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: 100-yard difference right over a hill.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Gravity.
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Gravity. But, yeah.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Did you turn the car off immediately? It rolled on
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: your windows?
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: Hands-on.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: I put my hand on the dash.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: But, dude, that was awesome. Damn, Jack.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: You must have done something wrong.
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't play in the NFL. That's what I
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: did wrong.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: He's not a multi-millionaire. But who's with you in that, Jared?
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: At-home doctors. Okay.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: For those of you listening, that is a different thing
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: between me and Jared. And I'm not sure why he's
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: bringing it up right now.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure why he's bringing it up.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: It fell on brand for the conversation.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Overall, great time. Quality Friday night. Good, awesome Friday night.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: And then the game, dude.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Like, atmosphere was unbelievable. Tennessee fans. They just, they were
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: all at the red carpet, dude. Air shot up one,
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: fly over. I'm able to catch punts or kickoffs like
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: on the field. They truly were letting us do whatever
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: we wanted.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Whatever we wanted.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: I was sitting there and there was like coaches. I'm
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: like sitting on the bench because it's a little warm.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: So I'm like sitting on the cooled benches and using
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: the Thera gun. And like anything you need, let us know.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: I'm like, trust me, I'm all good here. This is
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: exactly where I need to be right now.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: One of the equipment guys came up to me and
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: was like, hey, next time y'all are in Knoxville, not
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: on a game day weekend, get y'all back in here,
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: see the new facility, like upgrades, all this. And I
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: was like, dude, this is my university.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: It had to be super cool for like you and
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: chef and Matt to go back and like the red
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: carpet being rolled out like that. What was that experience like?
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: It was great, man.
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: Again, we said it on the college football intro, but
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: shout out Bill Martin. He always comes through for the boys.
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: Such an awesome experience. Such a loud noon game. The
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: flyovers from air force one were insane. We were right
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: there watching Texas about to run out and then it
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: just skims the top of Neal and it feels like
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: it was so low it was but I mean when
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: you got Trump in the building I guess there's no
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: no rules but yeah that that was all-time game experience
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: into the game obviously won a different outcome but man
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: Knoxville always treats us so well and I can speak
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: for Chef and Matt. Going back there as alumni, it's
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: awesome to see how much we get to be integrated
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: with them and how cool they are and the access.
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: It was great. And Kern's Bakery, too, where we had
• 45:55
  Speaker 7: our tailgate, was a perfect location for it. Weather could
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: not have been better. It was a fun time.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Good time.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: That dog, too, Smokey.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Smokey. That's a good boy.
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: They were about to retire him last year because he
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: was a rescue, and he wasn't trained well enough. And
• 46:12
  Speaker 7: they went and started pounding the pavement. And now he's
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: back and doing well.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: If they retire Smokey after this year, would you be
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: willing to house Smokey for the rest of his life?
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: I'm actually, after this football season, thinking about getting a
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: second dog too. So maybe that's it. And I already
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: have like a hound mix.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine if you got Smokey? Me Smokey.
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: That would be sweet.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: God, that'd be so beautiful.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Sherm.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: I have two things.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: One involving Smokey.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: Where we parked was, what was that neighborhood that we
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: were talking about?
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, the fort. The fort.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Where Jill and I parked for that day, they had
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: all the game day sheets hanging from the houses and
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: the signs. And my favorite one by far, there's three
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: shirtless guys in their front yard, 7 a.m., speaker blaring
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Fetty Wap. And it just said, Dear Arch, or hey Arch,
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Smokey gonna bite your balls off. And the sheet was
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: hanging off by like two strands of tape. That was incredible.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: And then the other thing that I truly say this
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: from my heart, as somebody that grew up around college
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: football and just loves college football, all the guys in
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: this office that are affiliated with the University of Tennessee
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: should be so proud of their university. I truly don't
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: think anyone in the nation does it better than them.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: It is so inviting. It is college football. What you
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: think is college football, they put it on steroids. It's
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: the best experience. We are not worthy.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: It's so sick.
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: They have a great game day environment.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: I'll say this about SEC, dude. Like, Big Ten and
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: SEC both have great fan bases. But, like, SEC has
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: an incredible, like, home field advantage wherever you go play
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: in any team. But, like, they under, like, The fan
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: bases understand the marketing that they should do for their
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: fan bases. Like they show up every single time. They
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: get after it. It is extremely impressive to watch SEC
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: fans kind of go.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: And something about.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: That white and orange too.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: That orange color they got on Afternoon. The checkered going on.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful. And the weather.
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: How did your wife fare with Tennessee fans? Because it
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: seemed like she'd be. A couple clips I saw that
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: you posted. Soon as she was ready to throw.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Down a little bit.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: She fared. She fared.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: I was telling the guys the full story. When we
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: initially walked by those frat boys, she only got booze.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: That was it.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: When we started and we were going to a coffee shop.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: So when we were coming back to them, walk to
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: the stadium, they see us in our burn orange and
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: they see me with my phone out already. And they
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: understood the assignment. And we're like, Oh, husband thinks it's
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: funny and wants to film. And so they, you know,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: raise the level on it. And we're giving her some.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: You know, go to hell, go to hell and.
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: Do the horns down.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: But they're dying laughing as they're doing it.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Stupid bitch. And I'm sitting there and I'm going. She
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: was like, they think it's funny.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: I'm going, Jill, you got to give them a hook them.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: You got to do something. And she, once the camera
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: went down, she was like, I'm good. I'm going to
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: let the, our play on the field do the talking.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: And I was like, okay. Okay.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Okay but we we loved it it was like a
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: really great it was honestly a vacation we had Scarlett

  Speaker 1: Taylor go head to head. Kamaru Taylor's nice. Kamaru Taylor's
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: a great player. I was very impressed with him. But
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: I think skills-wise, I think Lil Norris is a better player.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: And I think... We just didn't give Lenore a chance
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: to prove that. Didn't give him a chance. I don't
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: think we did. We all saw both those interceptions. They
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: went head to head. Everybody had those interceptions, man. Come on.
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but those interceptions were bad.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, everybody had those interceptions. That's not what,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: you know. I just think, I don't know, it just
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: always seems, and I don't do this for a living.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: I don't call plays and everything. It's just, I still
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: don't think we've had an offensive coordinator who's really Use
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: Lenores the way he should be used.
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: Cock Nation, you guys are all the same, man. How

  Speaker 1: You know, it's a spot where it's like, good coach,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: better human being. Right.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: Because Beam's awesome, but it's like JP in the back,
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: he's the number one South Carolina fan on this bus
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: as of right now. We'll find out before this.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: He's number two. He's number two? Yeah, he wasn't there
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: in 84, man. That's fair. No, he was not.
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: But his thing is always like, whoever has the headset
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: on with the head coaching title, that's my guy. But
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: the OC and DC, they're always, put them with the
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: firing squad if you need to.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah i'm exactly with them yeah my god.
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: When you're uh as a fan when you're watching the
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: games and like mississippi state is a great example where
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: it's like this is a gotta have a situation a
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: lot of times you said this like well you would
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: kind of circle that game be like that's one you
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: should call a win We didn't know about Kamario Taylor
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: until this season, so it's not the Gamecocks' fault.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: It's like, we'll learn against Bama. Yeah, you'll learn about.
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: Who you are against Bama, which I think Bama has
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of flaws. Bama has a lot of flaws
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: that we can get into. But as a fan, when
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: you're watching South Carolina this year, what things stick out
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: to you that are a weakness? We can get to
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: the positives in a second.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: I thought offensive line was going to be a weakness,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: but we got a bunch of kids from out of
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: the portal and stuff that we liked a lot, but
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: that's always been a historical weakness for the team. Yeah,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: and I really thought our strength was going to be,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: you know, defensive line and our edge rushers and stuff
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: like that. We need Dylan Stewart back on the field.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: We do. That hurts a lot. God. He's the best
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: guy in the country. He is a star.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: He's a monster, dude.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get him back.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 4: That would be huge.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: But I just thought offensive line was going to, and it's,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: I think every team, that's the thing about college football.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Most teams has a lot of skill players.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: You know, you get.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Skill players, but. Those big guys up the middle that
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: win championships, man.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: A lot of demand, very little supply.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: All the time. What kind of NIL? They got into
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: the Darius Rucker pockets yet? Of course, but that's got
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. You need to go out
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: there and get you some interior guys, man. I've done shows.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: We've done some stuff. Of course, I want to participate
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: in that. I love our university and what we're doing
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: in women's basketball and you know, equestrian and the soccer
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: team and the golf and women's, you know, all of
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: our teams are doing so great, you know, and, you know, but,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: you know, you win one football national championship and, you know,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: and you can't talk to me for a long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 5: Same, similar pocket with Nebraska.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 5: Good at a lot of other sports.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they haven't won since you've been alive, have they?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: Since I've been alive?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, 90s. I was born in 89. When
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: did they win the 90s?
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: 94, 95.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Some people talk about 97.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: Don't do that. I'm just saying something. As a Nebraska
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: Cornhuskers fan, who won the 1997 National Championship?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Will Compton says the Michigan Wolverines won in 97.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: I'm just making sure on all that. You brought up,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we were rolling, but you said
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: every time there's a National Championship, you get a ring?
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. How'd you spin that? I do a
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: lot for the university, man. What's your favorite national championship ring? Oh, well,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: my favorite is the last one is national championship. That
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: one is just a beautiful, beautiful thing. But my second
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: favorite is our first equestrian national championship ring. It's this big,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: beautiful ruby. It is so gaudy. I wear that one
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: to football games all the time. No shit. Equestrian ring,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: Do you ride yourself?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: No, no. Just a fan of the game. Yeah, but
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: you can't curse on this show, can you? You can
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: say whatever you want. Yeah, but don't fuck with our
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: girls riding horses. I'm going to tell you that right now.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: I love that. Do we want to hit this fan
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: question already?
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: We might as well.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is Beach.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: He says, would you trade every dollar you have made
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: off of Wagon Wheel for one South Carolina football national championship?
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say this, and I'm going to preface
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: this by saying this. The reason the answer to this
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: is I didn't write Wagon Wheel. If I had written
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Wagon Wheel, this answer would be totally different. But the
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: answer is yes. A hundred percent. Fair enough. So if
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: I had written it, he's got a chance. No shot.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: No shot. You know who's playing that, man? No, no chance.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: Who wrote Wagon Wheel?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Bob Dylan and Catch Akora, the singer from Old Corbettian.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: So Bob Dylan had written the chorus and Catch wrote
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: the verses.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: And how does it work when somebody else writes a song?
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: Do you hear that song and you're like, oh, I'd
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: love to cut that song? Or do they go to you?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: How does that process work?
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Most people, you don't care if you do their songs.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: You just see it. You just go cut it. Oh, really?
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: You don't have to ask permission?
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: No, you just go cut it.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, no doubt.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: I had no idea about that.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, sometimes if somebody really doesn't want you
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: to do it, don't make a mistake about it. Most
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: people just, okay, if you don't want me to do
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: your song, you know, it's fine. song ain't that great though.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: So you're not getting, you're not getting to eat the
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: way you'd like to off a wagon wheel. I mean,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I've eaten off some big songs, you know,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of crying and so, you know, all right.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: But no, You know, don't get me wrong, I get
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: to eat your performance. It's a performance. It's a billion
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: streams or whatever it is. That is nuts. That is crazy. Yeah,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy. We knew it was going to
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: do something. We didn't know it was going to do that. Yeah.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: Was there ever a song that you wrote or cut
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: or anything that you're like, this is going to be
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: just as big as Wagon Wheel and didn't do it?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: No. You know. If anybody ever... writes a song and
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: says before it's going to be as big as a
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: wagon wheel, I'll bet you anything you want to snog.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. Fair enough.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: Dude, Will said earlier about getting in the pockets, your
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: pockets from an NIL standpoint. And he said, like, we
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: do shows and stuff like that. We've talked to Shane
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: Gillis and he's talked about, like, Notre Dame. He's a
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: big Notre Dame fan. And, like, doing a show. How
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: many shows have you done for South Carolina to, like,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: help out with the NIL and all that?
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: A few. Quite a few. Yeah. I've done... A few no-shows.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Probably my favorite show I've ever done was when we
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: won the first Women's National Championship. I went to the
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Coliseum and me and Nelly played. And they gave away
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: 15,000 tickets to all students.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's awesome.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: That is badass.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: People were just going off the whole time.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: It was awesome. Man, we said some things. I forgot
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: the internet existed. I said some messed up things. I
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: was seeing, too, that you want your... your last show
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: to be at Williams Bryce? Yeah. You know, that's, that's,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: it was funny. You know, Dan asked me that and
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: I was just messing with Dan when, when he's, when
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: he asked me, I was going to retire because he's
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: going to retire two years. So I was like two years. And,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: you know, after all that noise went down, I started thinking, man,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: I'm really might. It's, if Hootie the Blowfish, I don't,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Hootie the Blowfish is not going to play forever. You know,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: cause I'm really getting to that point where I don't,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer I really want to
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: be out doing it all the time. So I know
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: we're not going to play forever. So when we're done,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: I really think we will say, hey, look, you guys,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: because when we're done, we're going to pull the RM.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: When we're done, we're done. When we say that. And
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: so we're going to go play William Spryce.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: Because you did, what, 110 shows last year?
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Just saying that out loud is, yeah, that's crazy to
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: me because, I mean, That's just, I mean, that's a
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: lot of work. People go, oh, a hundred times two,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: you should work whatever. You don't realize you have to
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: take every show and you multiply it by two or
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: three because there's days, there's travel days and rehearsal days
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: and everything you got to put in there with that.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: And so you're out doing that and you're just away
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: from everybody. You're in a different town every night. Every night,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: you're in a different town. And that gets... I just
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: hope God knows I love, I love my job and
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: I'm blessed to do what I do. But just at
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: some point you just really start going, man, I'm a song.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: I want to be on the road like this. Right.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: Running around chasing, like say you've like, you've kind of
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: achieved everything you want. I'm sure from a financial standpoint,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: you've hit every marker you thought in your head as
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: a kid. And so you've have all this greatness and
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: it's like, kind of look back and like, at what
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: point am I going to celebrate all the things I've
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: done and relaxed you over a hundred shows last year?
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: Was this the first time that you're like, man, do
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: I really want to keep doing it at this pace?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: Or was there something before then? They're like, maybe I
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: should tone it back a little bit, slow down. Like
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: have the ability to say no.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you and say that it really
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: started probably at the end of last year where I
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: really started going. I mean, it's a lot of shows.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it was, I'm spending
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of time in London now. I got a
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: place in London. We spend a lot of time there.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: And I'll go home for two weeks and then fly
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: in the air for four days and then you fly
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: back over and you just go, man, I just want to,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: I want to, like I said the other day, I
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: want to chill and spend some of this money now.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: Sit back and hang.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: What's the tell for you on like wanting to retire?
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: It's like, if you're an athlete, your body just breaks down.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: So you kind of know your time is coming.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: You know when you want to do it.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: You know when you want to do it for two
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: more years. Like what's the tell for you? Is it,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: The family life? Is it knowing, like, yeah, I'm kind
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: of over fucking traveling all the time?
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: That's really what it is for me. It's the two
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: things you just said. It's the traveling. I still really
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: love playing shows. I mean, that's really cool. But, like,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: the traveling is just awful. And I'm not getting any younger.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: You know, it takes a toll on your body. And,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: you know, being, you know, I'm being married and getting
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: married and all that stuff.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: And the kids are adults now and they have their
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: lives and you want to go see them and be
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: a part of that. Yeah, that was really, just in
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: the last year or so, I really started going, man,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: if I don't quit, I got to slow down. I
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: just don't want to work like this. Yeah.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: So London.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You love it. I love it.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: You love being out there.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: I do love it.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: Fish and chips.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, fish and chips.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: Fish and chips. And y'all, I'm going to say this
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: to Americans right now.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: That food is crazy.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say this to Americans right now. We
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: think we drink. We don't drink, man. The British culture.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of rednecks right now that are getting
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: pissed off at that comment.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: The British culture of drinking is unbelievable. It's just a
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing. From about 4.30 to 11. every day, these pubs,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: and I live in Soho. There's probably 100 pubs. within
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: five blocks of my house. And every pub is packed
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: with people from 4.30 to 10 or 11. Every day.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: Was it just the booze that made you fall in
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: love with London? Or what was the part for you
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: that was like, oh, yeah, I mess with these clouds?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: I think the best thing, the thing that really did
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: it for me is as a kid, you know, you
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: have those dreams. You have different dreams. Of course, I
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: wanted to sing and all that stuff. But one of
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: my dreams as a kid, I always said I want
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: to live in a foreign country someday.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 5: You say you won what?
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: We'll live in a foreign country someday, just for a while.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: And I moved there really to make a record that's
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: going to be coming out. Actually, my single, I wrote
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: over there and cut over there. And me and my fiance,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: we kind of wanted to leave Nashville, you know, keep
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: my place, but go to another big city. And after
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: three weeks, and y'all, I hate winter. I mean, I
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: hate winter. I hate rain, I hate when it's cold.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: I hate it.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: I hate it. And we are in London in December
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to the studio every day and I
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: don't think I saw the sun for three weeks. And
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: three weeks in, not seeing the sun, I actually said
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: to her, hey, what do you think about staying in London?
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: And she's like, I'd love to. And so we, we've
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: been there two and a half years.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: Let me put this together real quick.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: So you hate the, that's how much I love London.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: I hate winter. You loved it.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: Cause I'm like, I'm with you. Like I grew up
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: out West where the sun was shining all the time.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: I go to Michigan for school and the first winter,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: you don't see the, you don't see the sun at all.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: Like from late November to March. And I'm thinking to myself,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: why am I sad? I don't understand why I'm so sad.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: It's just like, it wears me down. So you loved
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: it that much.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: I loved it that much.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: Was it like a cultural thing? Because truly, I'll be
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: honest with you. I'm not a world traveler.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: Like I got the continental- We're finally getting, we got
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: another trip or two booked.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: I got the continental United States on lock. Cabo San Lucas,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: I'm with you on that. But other than that, I'm
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: like kind of, I've been out to London for 72
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: hours and that was to play a football game. And
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: then we flew right back. What was it about London
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: that you loved so much?
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: The people I met when I got there were cool.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: I have friends there already, but I met some people
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: when I got there in the music industry that were
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: really cool. I just really, some of us felt like, okay,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: this is kind of home for a second. This could
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: be home for a second. And I do well over there.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: I play arenas over there and everything, but it's not
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: like it is here. You know, I go anywhere and
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: somebody might come up and recognize me or whatever, but
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: it's very, a lot more rare than it is here.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: And I just really, it really was important. I was like,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: I just want to hang out. And my kids know,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: my kids love it. You know, they want to.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 5: How's the food over there?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: I will say this. It's gotten great. I've been going
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: there for 30 years. Gotten great. When I first started
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: going there 30 years ago, the only thing you ate
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: was fish and chips, shepherd's pie, or McDonald's. That's all
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: you would eat. But now they have great restaurants down there.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: There's so many games over there. I can't believe you
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: guys haven't brought the show over there during the game.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 5: They tried a couple of times. They tried a couple
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: of times.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Come on, Portnoy, get off the money. Come on, send
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: the boys over there. Are you kidding me right now?
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: I will host the show with you when you come
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: over there.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: I'll do that. I'll definitely, I'll run over there. You
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: got extra bedrooms for us?
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: I actually do. I got a big ass.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: Was there any other places abroad that you were like, oh,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: this place might be a spot?
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: Amsterdam was number one.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: For real?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: Amsterdam was number one. Amsterdam was probably my favorite city
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: outside of Charleston.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: Those coffee shops?
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: Coffee shops are great, but you can get that anywhere. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: But Amsterdam, it's an amazing walking city. And it's the
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: thing that people, we say, and it sounds so cliche,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: but I walk around a lot in these cities. And
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: we go to see a church. Like my house in
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: Charleston was built in, you know, 1868 or something. We're like,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: oh my God, so old. And, you know, I walk
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: around the corner and there's a church that was built
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: in 1101. And, you know, it's just stuff like that.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: You see, like my house, I think Edgar Allen Poe
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: lived in my house or something like that. Oh, shit.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: So there's a plaque on the wall. Writer. That kind
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: of crazy stuff. Yeah, he wrote a book. Appreciate that.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: He wrote a book. It was books. I mean, I
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: love the history stuff. I love that stuff.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: No, I completely understand that. Amsterdam. I don't really, I've
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: just never been.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 5: There's a movie about Amsterdam, wasn't it? What is that?
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 5: Was it Eurotrip?
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 4: The Scotty Doesn't Know movie.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Eurotrip. That's about all I know. Eurotrip,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: that was a banger.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 5: That's about all I know about it.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the, how is it, do you enjoy the fact
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: that when you go over there, you're not recognized as much?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: You kind of mentioned that earlier, but being in, Nashville
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: and Charleston and these other places where people see you
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: and recognize you a lot, did that ever get old
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: to you?
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Oh no, it never gets old. You love it. I
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: don't say I love it. This is what I will say.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: This is, you know, you don't give yourself props a lot,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: but this is one thing I'm very proud of myself.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: There's times when you're tired or you're having a shitty
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: day and you just don't want, you all know, something's
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: wrong and you just don't want to deal with it.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: And somebody will come up and they'll be overly, overly
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: Friendly and really want to talk to you. And everybody
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: gets that second where you want to be a dick.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: You get that second. And every time I get there,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: it happens to me. It's never not happened. My brain
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: clicks and says, hey, man, nobody asked you to do this.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: There's not one day in your life anybody walked into
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: your room and said, hey, Darius, you want to sing?
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: No one ever did that. You decided this is what
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: you want to do. And the byproduct of what you
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: do and if you're successful is this. And this person
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: wants 30 seconds. And your whole life came from that
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: person wanting 30 seconds. I can give them 30 seconds.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: I like that. Have you ever had a bad moment
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 5: you look back on and eats at you by how
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 5: you interacted with a fan?
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: Probably. I'm sure I probably did something, especially back in
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: the drinking days. Yeah. I'm sure there was. Yeah, well,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: the back of the partying days, I'm sure I did
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: or said some stuff I'm really shit.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 4: No doubt, but you can't be held accountable for those
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: things you can't remember. If you don't remember, you can't
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: be held accountable.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you a crazy story. When I tell this story,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: and it's still unbelievable to me, we're playing a show
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: one night, and the show's over, and it's a big party.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: We're at a big party backstage, and we're raging. There's
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people back there, and there's this
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: dude over in the corner. He's got on a white suit,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: white three-piece suit. White shoes, white shirt, white three-piece suit. Hair,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: you know, little bob. Staring at me the whole time
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: before I go. After about an hour or so, you know,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: I go, hey, man, nice to meet you. What's up?
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: He doesn't tell me a name. He talks to me
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: a second. He looks me straight in the eye and goes, hey, man,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: I'm your guardian angel.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 5: What the fuck?
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: I freak out. I freak out. He got to go.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Freak out. He sits there and somehow... He gives me
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: 45 seconds and he just tells me how he's there
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: to protect me and he's going to see me and
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: this whole thing and finally I just get away from
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: this guy. So I'm like, all right, that's crazy, that's crazy.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: Two weeks later, we're playing Vegas at the Hard Rock
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: and there was this area that you walked in as
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: a band and you had to have credentials. No one
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: could get here. No one, like the band and the crew,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: there was just a door. No one could be in
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: this door. And I'm walking in and I'm talking to
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: the bass player and I look up and that dude
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: is standing in the frigging door. Standing in the door.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: No credentials, nothing, just standing in the door. He said, hey,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: good to see you. Told you I'd be watching out
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: for you. I ran. Oh, hey, was you wearing the
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: white suit and everything? I had the white suit on.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: You had everything on. White suit. White on white on
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: white on white. Three piece, dude.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: And did it make you curious at all? Like, maybe
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 4: I should sit down with this cat?
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: No. Are you crazy? I don't know.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: If somebody tells me they're my guardian angel, 45 seconds,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: they break down a bunch of stuff, keeping me safe.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: I freak out. Maybe I'll sit down. And then in
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: a different city? Yeah, maybe I'll sit down. This cat
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: kills me. I'm good.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you have a couple witnesses with you for sure.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: That's nuts. Something about to happen that night. Oh, look
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: at this picture right here, by goodness. Why do y'all
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: even have that?
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: How was your football career?
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: From the age of six to 13, I truly thought
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: I was going to play in the NFL. I made
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: the Arsenal team all the time. We won championships. I
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: think that team went 0-10, and then the next year
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: we went 10-0 and won the championship. What position? That
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: year I played running back. The next year I played quarterback.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: And we were... I'll never forget this, it's freshman high
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: school football. And there were these two big middle schools
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: that we played on the park together and we all
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: came together and we played together. I'm walking to the
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: first practice and I got my pads on and I
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: walk up and I come over the hill and I
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: look down on the hill and I look out on
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: that field and I thought, I played football with everybody
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: out on that field. And I said, I'm not faster, tougher,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: or bigger than anybody on that field, I think I
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: would just go home and sing. And I turned around
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: and went back. And I joined Middleton Singers like three
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: days later. That was actually when you decided? That was
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: when I decided I wasn't gonna play in the NFL. Yeah,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: I should probably just stick with that singing thing. No shit.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: You seemed like you was kinda nice though, if you're
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. I can play, I can play. You can
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: move around a little bit. I can play, I can play.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have played past high school, but I can play.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: That's fucking, that's wild.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 5: Did you do any other sports, younger growing up?
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Coach Reese, he coached college also for a minute. And
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: then he came and he coached, he came and coached
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: Middleton and coach Reese. Coach Reese was that coach you
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: hated in high school. Like, it's your senior year, you
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: take P.E. every year. It's your senior year, you take P.E.,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a party. You know, Coach Reese's
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: first year of school, he makes us lift weights all year.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: I still want to go for that. So, he's a
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: basketball coach, and he's my friend, and he's cool, and
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: I say jokingly the first practice, I say, Coach Reese,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: don't you cut me the first practice. Don't you cut
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: me the first cut. He laughs, he goes giggles, So
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going on, and we're playing in the pass ball practice.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I'm playing my ball. I'm playing. I mean, I'm shocked
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: that I'm balling. I mean, I think I might have
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: missed four shots in like eight practices. I'm balling.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: I'm balling.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: First cut comes by. I'm like, he didn't cut me. Sweet.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: I'll go. Second cut comes by. I'm like, oh, my goodness.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: It's about a few days from third cut. I'm looking.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I got a shot. And I mean, I
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: go out, dude, and I'm shooting. I'm lighting it up
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: from three. I'm so bummed. to follow myself, and I
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: go last cut, and I look at the board, and
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: he cut me, and I went and said, Coach Reese,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: how could you cut me? I was playing so well.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: He said, dude, I told you I wouldn't cut you
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: in the first cut. I was like, oh, man. That's
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: messed up. He kept you alive. Yeah, I got cut. No,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: that was it. That was my last. No more sports
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 4: That was the last sporting event for you right there.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: That was my last sporting event.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 5: Coach, I only missed four shots, and you only took five.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: Dude, when did you decide? So you decided, you walked
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: over the hill. Football is over for you. I'm picking
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: up a guitar. I'm starting to sing. When in your
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: brain are you like, oh, I'm going to be able
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: to make it doing this singing thing?
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Singing and playing things. Reality sets in after senior year
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: in high school and everything. And, you know, I got
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: a job. And so I went to school, broadcast journalism.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do what you guys were doing. Yeah,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: and so I went to school for that. And it
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: was really, I wouldn't say it was a I give
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: up thing, but it was just like, South Carolina, I
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: have no idea how to do that. You know, I mean,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: I've been singing on these things and I don't know
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: how to do that. And met the guys, met Mark
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: and Dean and Sony. And I guess my favorite story
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: about when we thought we could do it was Dean's parents.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: Dean got a scholarship to Elon to play bass in
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: the orchestra and they didn't take. came to South Carolina
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: to party instead. So his parents were mad at him
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: and said, you can't play bass. You're not gonna go
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: to a party and play bass. So he couldn't play.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: So he was playing with us on the side and
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: never told them, never told them. Finally, after three years
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: of playing, he finally tells them, I'm in a band.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: Because we're gonna play in D.C. Dad's angry. Dad is angry.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: He's angry. I can't believe you're doing this. So we
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: go to the show. This is the third time I
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: play at his bar. And they're driving us to the show.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: And we're driving up the street. It's called K Street.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: And there's the bars here. The street goes down about
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: a block and a half. And then it turns up
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: and goes way up the street. And so we're coming
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: up that street. And there's a line of people. This
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: line is seriously maybe 500 people deep outside the club.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: And we're pulling up. And Dean's dad goes, I wonder
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: what this is for. And Dean said, well, dad, thanks
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: for us. It was like, oh, people waiting to get in.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: And so we get in and we walk in. And
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: as soon as you walk in the door, you realize
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: there's not a single person out there getting in this
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: bar tonight. This bar is just so packed. Nobody outside
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: is getting in. And we're walking up and he's in
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: front of us or behind. He looks at all the
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: people and he turns around and goes, all right, y'all
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: can do this. And that's what I thought. That's when
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: you knew you could get it done. Yeah, we can
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: probably make it now. No shit. Yeah, if we can
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: convince his dad. We had a real shot of making it.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: Was it always Hootie and the Blowfish? Did you guys
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 4: have a different name before that?
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: Mark and I were the Wolf Brothers. I wish we
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: were still the Wolf Brothers. No shit, the Wolf Brothers
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: kind of ripped. That's a great name. Yeah, it's a
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: great name. I wish we were still the Wolf Brothers,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: but yeah, Hootie and the Blowfish. I still can't believe
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't think anybody was going to call me Hootie.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. Yeah, that is, that's a misread on
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: your side.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 4: Look how hammered I am in that picture.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna do. I mean, you could
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: be hammered in that photo. Look at your boy's hat
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: in the back. That's brutal.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 7: That's brutal.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 4: That's brutal.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 7: That's brutal.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: That's brutal.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 5: That's brutal.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 7: That's brutal.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: That's brutal.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 4: That's brutal.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 5: That's brutal.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 4: That's brutal.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: That's brutal.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 8: That's brutal.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 4: That's brutal.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal. That's brutal.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: That's brutal.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: That's brutal.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: That's Them boys right there. I had one of those
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: in third grade. I wore it every single day for
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 4: like three months. I thought I was the man.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: I love my artist Gilmore beard I got there going.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: It's kind of nice, dude.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 5: Kind of like a skater.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: The Gamecocks hat on though. Always. Always. Always. When you're
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: hitting these clubs, like how much are you guys pulling
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: in a night?
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 5: Way back then.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: At that point.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 5: Like that might just be what, gas money?
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: At that point, that was probably, well, we had made
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: it by then, but like right before we made it,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: I guess the two years before we made it, each
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: of us made like 60 grand. Mm-hmm. And that was
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: more than out of our friends who had gotten degrees
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: we were making. So we thought we.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 5: Were living the dream. What age is that?
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: We were 26, 25, 26.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 5: Rolling in it.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was thinking about buying a car.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: And what year did you kind of just become Darius Rucker?
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: When was that decision made?
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, to go with the country? I guess 2005. 2005,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: we were touring every summer and Sony came. Called a
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: band meeting, and I think that was the third band
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: meeting we ever had in our whole band existence, and
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: said he didn't want to be in a touring band anymore.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: He said they didn't want to be a touring band?
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: A drummer.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: And so we, we're a band, man. It wasn't like
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: we were going to go, okay, well, we're just going
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: to get a drummer and play. Four of us are
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: what we are, and so I was like, well, we'll
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: see what's happening in Nashville. We're trying to get you
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: guys to do it. I'm going to go do it. Yeah.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 4: So you went and did it on your own.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 5: How much friction was there during that?
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: When he's like, I'm not going to. There's never really
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: any friction with us, man. We just, okay.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: What was his reasoning to want to be done?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: We were always on the road. Yeah.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: We were always on the road. He's where you were
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: back then, now.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: He had just gotten remarried. We were always on the road.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: He was like, I just don't want to live like this.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, get it.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 4: And instead of just keeping the name and keeping the
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: band and finding a new drummer, you're like, I'm going
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 4: to go. roll this thing solo? Was there fear of
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: becoming a solo artist? Because you see a bunch of,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 4: very rarely do big bands. The lead singer breaks off
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: and has a successful solo career. Were you worried about
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 4: that at all?
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: When I was doing it, at first I was doing
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: it for me. I really wasn't thinking anything of it.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even trying to get a record deal. Because honestly,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't get good to get a record deal. I
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: always say that if I was my brother, And I
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: was in the same situation I was in. I was
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: a president of Warner Brothers Records. I wouldn't have given
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: me a record deal. Who's going to give the black
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: guy who's coming from a pop rock band a country
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: music record deal? No questions. In 2006, it's never going
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: to work. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think I might
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: have said this on the show before, but there were
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: three or four people, and they're my best buddies now,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: and they'll give me that extra spin if I needed
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: to get number one. But who told me instantly when
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: I sat in their office, my audience is never going
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: to accept a black country singer? Really? Just like that.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you got guys who break away, like,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 5: in rock and roll and stuff like that to do
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 5: their own thing, but to be a black man going
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 5: into country music.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: Especially the carpetbagger. That's what they call guys who comes
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: from pop and rock, the carpetbaggers. Especially the, you know, really?
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 9: No.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: You know? But I got lucky that the music, I
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: had a label, my president label just believed in it
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: so much, and, you know, we gave them the right records.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 4: How was it initially received by the public when you
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 4: jumped into country music?
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: It was great because I had to go to 105
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: radio stations, man. Oh, you were rolling around. Old school.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: Four day.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 4: Car washing.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: Three or four day car washing. Just ripping around. And
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: sitting in the program room while they're eating lunch, playing
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: my songs, you know. It was instantly the first play.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: Quick story. You know, Texas is infamous for... you know,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: being really strict with their country music on the radio.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: So I was finishing up some shows and I was like, yeah,
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: oh yeah. They are, Texas is the only. That's one
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: way to point it out, but yeah, okay, Texas is strict.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: You've been in Texas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so Hootie
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: was finishing up some shows and we were going to
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: Texas and my single was about to come out and
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: so they told me to just go by this radio
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: station in San Antonio. And so we were like, okay,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: and we go to the meeting and Mike Dungan, who's
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: the president who signed me on the label, Walks in,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: sees him going to San Antonio, and curses everybody in
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: this room out. Curses everybody in the room out. Says,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: why would you do that? Why would you send him
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: on his first excursion to a place that we know
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: is not going to play? He was just really mad.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: But they were like, he's already going to be there.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: He might as well go there. We'll go there. And
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: so we go there, and we play it for George King.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: And I still thank George King to this day. We
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: play it for George, and he loved us over there.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: First thing he said was, oh my God, it's a
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: country song. And I said, what the fuck were you expecting?
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: He said, I expected I only want to be with
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: you with a fiddle. I was like, well, I don't know.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: I said, what are you going to get? And so
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: he loved it. And he said, we're leaving. He says,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: I want to play it. And we're like, OK, in
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: two Tuesdays, we're going to do a big ad. Can
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: you wait to add it then? And he's like, yeah,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: we'll wait. So we leave. We're driving off. The phone rings.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: And it's George. And the song's playing in the background.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: He goes, man, I'm going to add it right now.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: And he added it that day, and every time we
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: went anywhere that said, hey, well, I don't know if
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: it's for a country, we could say, well, they're playing
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: it in Texas. And that went a long way.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: That went a long way.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 4: Got the needle to move from other places.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: So thank you, George King, again. Shout out to the
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: boy George King, man. That went a long way.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: Shout out, Georgie, dude.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, question. Was there, as you're going through that, is
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 5: there an insecurity that you have walking into basically every
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 5: room when you're starting to pump all this stuff?
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I was shocked, because I had just come from
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: playing arenas with Hootie. I went straight into this other thing,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: and I was shocked how I felt. I'm a brand
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: new artist. I felt like I had to go out
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: and prove myself to these people when I just sold
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: 25 million records. And I really felt like a kid
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: out there, proving to these people that I could sing.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: But it was great. Because I think the way that
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: made me feel really came across to them. And I
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: think if I had gone into those rooms going, hey,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: I'm Darius Rucker, Rudy Bofors. You should play my shit
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: because I'm Darius. They wouldn't have played it. You know,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: but I was really, you know, I was happy people
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: were going to see me. Yeah.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 5: You get to walk in rooms where you feel like
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 5: the doubt is there.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And kind of like, oh, I can't wait
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: to prove these dudes wrong. The one thing I knew
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: that was in the business everywhere was doubt. Mike Duggan
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: tells a story of the night he decided to sign me,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: he was just at dinner with my manager. He talked
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: to him and signed me. And he went to work
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: the next day. And he called the 13 people in
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Nashville he thought were the tastemakers, the real people who
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: were making country music happen. And he told them he
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: was going to sign me. And 12 of them told
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: him it would never work. And he said half of
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: them told me that I would be a laughingstock. No shit. Dude,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: that's gotta feel fucking good.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 5: After all the success that you've.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 9: Now had in that world.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 4: I know, the middle finger move is always the best
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 4: revenge is massive success.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: Always. That's what I say all the time. I don't
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: get mad at people. The best revenge is success.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 4: That's right. What was the reason to go to country
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 4: music for you? Tell me from a completely different genre.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 4: You just loved it.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: I've been telling Hootie for years. And after we got
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: really big and things started coming down, I was like,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: hey man, let's just go make a country record. I mean,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: we listened to so much of it. In the bus
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: and in the van, we listened to so much of it.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: And when I heard this guy, Radney Foster, who's not
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: near as big as he should be, but he had
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: a band called Foster and Lloyd, and then he had
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: some solo records. When I heard him, I just wanted
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: to do that. I wanted to sound exactly like that guy.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 4: When you get to Nashville, who were the up-and-comers? Are
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 4: you a guy that finds yourself in competition internally with
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: other people, or is it always with yourself?
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: Always with myself.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 4: Always with yourself? So there was never numbers going on
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 4: you're nine, somebody else is eight, and you're like, nah.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: Man, I'm fucking. No, because music is, for me, there's
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: room for everybody. And so if I'm number five, I'm
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: not competing against number one. I'm just trying to do
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: what I can so that many people will listen. Because eventually,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: number one's going to fall. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: not gonna stay, number one. Well, unless you're Ella Langley. Yeah,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: she's on fire right now. She's on fire. Yeah, she's
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: on fire. But, you know, it's not gonna stay. So
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: I'm just really, I'm always uncomfortable against myself. Yeah. You know,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: and the ultimate goal of any song you put out
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: is number one.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 4: But it's so rare to see, like, somebody... have so
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 4: much success from multiple decades like you have? Like what
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 4: was like a secret sauce for you to be able
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 4: to sustain this level of success?
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: That's a great question.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: And I haven't... I tried for one episode.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 4: I have one good question.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: I was about to say finally. We get there always, man.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: We get there slowly but surely. But, you know... I
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: don't know, what was the question again?
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 4: Sustaining success over multiple decades.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: I thought about that. I probably thought about it for
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: the first time starting this year when I turned 60,
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: about how long I've been getting to do it. And
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I don't know. I
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: like to think it's maybe just the voice and the
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: fact that, you know, when I get in a room
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: with some guys, I can write some pretty good songs.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, but I thank God for it.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: You know, because I really want to thank I'm 60, man.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: You know, I got this new song out that I
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: got a real shot. This song could be number one.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: That's crazy to think about. And I've been doing this for,
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: since I was, I've been playing music since I was 19.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: I've been doing this for 41 years.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 4: It's just wild. It's crazy to have that much, that
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 4: much success. And it's just wild. Like, especially because every
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 4: decade there's like, you would go to Spotify now and
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 4: you'd be like, check out the tens, check out the twenties,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 4: check out the two thousands. And like, you can find
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 4: a specific difference in that sound in every single decade.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 4: When you're rolling through, not only changing genres, but becoming
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 4: a solo act, and now you're having success there, and
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 4: you're switching over from the 2000s to the 10s, were
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 4: you ever at a tug-of-war with yourself about the sound
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: you liked versus the sound, the direction of that decade?
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 4: No, you stayed you no matter what.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: I never know what the... I just always just go
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: make my records.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 4: That's it, no matter what?
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: If it's not going to work, it's not going to work,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: but I'm just going to make my record. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: And I got great producers.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 4: Is that an earned perspective that you have?
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: I think so. I think it's a great way to
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: put it. Because I think early on, especially with the
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: producers we worked with, I really stayed out of it.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: But now.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 4: Let them make the kind of decisions on what comes
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 4: out first.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Or if we use that instrument, if that instrument
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: sounds better or not. Now, if I didn't like it,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have said anything. Now, if I hear something back,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: that's not.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's so interesting. We had Eric Church on here,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 4: and it seems he's awesome. But it seems like you
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: kind of sat back and were like, hey, whatever you
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: guys think is best from a single standpoint of putting
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 4: this instrument in, EC's totally different. He's like, no, no, no,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 4: fuck that. We're going to have it this way. This
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 4: is how it's going to be. He's fighting with his
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 4: label and all that.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: He kind of went around the labels back to release
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, he released one, which is crazy. A
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: lot of artists are like that, who... You know, they want,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: especially with singles and everything, they know exactly what they want.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: I'm that guy, if I put a song on a record,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: I love it. It's as simple as that. If I
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: put a song on a record, I love it. And
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: I know nothing about radio. I just know what I like.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: And so when it comes to stuff like that, I
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: don't care what you put out. I think every song
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: on this record's great. I have a rule in my life.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: If I don't want to sing a song for the
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: rest of my life, I won't put it on a record. Because...
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to be a hit. And
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: if you have a big hit, you got to play
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: it the rest of your life. And so when it
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: comes to singles, I don't care. But the new one
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: was different. I kind of begged for the new one.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you begged for the new one?
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but- I feel like, hey, listen.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: With 41 years, you don't got to beg for shit.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't really have to beg. Okay, beg's a big word.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 4: You had to ask politely and firmly.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: I asked nicely, and you know- He's got good relationships.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: He's got good relationships. I got good relationships with MCA Records,
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: and they were very good, and they loved the song too,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: so that.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 5: What's your favorite, you know, like your friendship with Tiger Woods,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 5: you also have a NASCAR team. What's your favorite extracurricular
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 5: outside of music?
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Golf, of course, is my favorite thing. But the thing,
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: you know, it's funny you brought it up because something
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: I'm really starting to love is what I'm getting to
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: do with the NASCAR team with Legacy. You know, I
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: get to go, like Jimmy, this is a funny story.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: Jimmy is racing the trucks out in the desert earlier
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: in the summer, and I got a couple days off.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to come down, come watch you race
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: the trucks. He's like, oh, cool. So it's our team,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: and we're down there, and he's qualifying. And he goes,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: all right, man, I'm going to qualify. I got to
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: qualify to run two laps. And then a couple of
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: guys are going to finish, and I'm going to take
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: you around the track in the truck. Yes. Yes. So
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: he's going around. He finished qualifying. He finished his qualifying lap.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: His last lap, he hits this. Hits a ramp. flips, boom,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 1: lands on the, and just, the car never, wheels up,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: he's down, him and the navigator get out, laughing, and they're,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: you know, everybody's making sure they're okay, cool. So, they
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: take me back to the garage area, and Jimmy's back there,
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: and the truck is there, and they've got it all
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: fixed up, and Jimmy goes, okay, when everybody's done, I'm
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: gonna take you in the truck and take you around.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, there ain't no fucking way. I'm gonna
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: get in that truck. You just flipped in qualifying and
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: I know what you're trying to do to me. So no,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going to be okay. And I didn't
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: get in the truck. But I mean, it's really, I'm
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: getting to do some great stuff. I've always loved NASCAR,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: but all the other stuff that Legacy does is pretty awesome.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: How did that opportunity come up for you?
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: Jimmy and I have been friends forever.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 4: And Jimmy just came out to you and was like, hey,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 4: let's start a little thing here. He's been going.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: When I moved to London, he was living in London.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: And so we were hanging out a lot.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: So we were hanging out a lot and we were
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: out drinking at the Devonshire one night and he was like,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: hey man, I'm thinking about doing this thing and I
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: really want you to be a part of it. And
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: that was, I was like, how much do you want
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: from me? For real. He's a cool dude, too. Was
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: that easy? Yeah, that was a no-brainer. That's so awesome.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: Jimmy was the one rocking the vans, too, when he
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: was on Racing with the Boys.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 4: I know, he's got that Cali vibe for sure.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: And NASCAR has changed. After the Michael Jordan, after all
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: that great, all the stuff that just happened with the
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: court and everything, NASCAR is.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 4: that's a good place to be host of ours just
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 4: punching blaney in the face you see that hell yeah
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 4: i saw that hey i tell you we had the
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 4: ceo on here uh for our racing with the boys
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 4: show and he was talking about kind of loosening the
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 4: reins on the fights as long as the pit crews
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 4: don't get into it yeah and the drive it's just
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 4: the drivers like we'll let that slide so when i
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 4: saw a host of our host of our land went
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 4: flush i was like okay we're.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: Back i can't believe Blaney just took it and smiled.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 4: It's not, listen, we pulled that video up real quick.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: He tried to get one back too.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 4: And he couldn't like, yeah, it was like a little,
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 4: it was like a brush of the cheek because he
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 4: clipped him twice.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 4: And Blaney, he's been on the show twice. He's a
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 4: dual friend of the show, similar to yourself. And it's
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 4: just like, I hate it for him, but also I love,
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 4: how much all these drivers that come on hate Josevar. Like,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 4: having a villain is so great for a storyline in
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 4: any sport.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: But the thing is, he should... If I was in
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: his camp, we would be... playing that up, we'd be
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: cow-bushing that. Yeah, I'm the villain. Absolutely, I'm the villain.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna whoop your ass on Sunday.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 4: You like the villain?
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: I don't pull for the villain, but every champion needs
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: a villain. Every hero needs a villain. If you don't
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: have the villain, who's the hero gonna be?
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 4: Exactly. I was gonna say, were you watching LSU Ole Miss,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 4: hoping to God Ole Miss pulled out?
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: I will say this honestly. I couldn't care less about
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss football. And you would have thought they were
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: the Gamecocks. Oh, no shit. You would have thought they
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: were the Gamecocks. I was the opposite, man.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 4: I love a good villain. I love a good villain.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 5: That's a good pull because I was finding myself fist
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 5: pumping like the Huskers were playing when they were going
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 5: up when it got up 24-7.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: Really, dude? Oh, yeah.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 4: I love the way Lane handled.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: I do too.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 4: I don't love the way he handled it, but I
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 4: love the position he put himself in for the whole
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 4: nation to be like, fuck you. Because we all sat
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 4: there in week three and even the most casual fans,
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 4: Big Ten fans were turning on that SEC matchup being like,
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 4: I can't wait to see all this go down.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: That'll be one of the most watched games of the year.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 4: What's that?
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: I bet that'll be one of those.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 4: I'm sure the ratings come out. Because I think like,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 4: what was Ohio State Texas in week two? It was
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 4: like 18 million peak viewers.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's going to be.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 4: It was something nuts, bro.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: And you also go with LSU. Lane Kiffin just pulled
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: a Ric Flair. He went down to Ole Miss. He
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: lost the title to Ole Miss. And then you go
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: and you win a national championship. And everybody's happy. Ole
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: Miss is so happy they got that win. Everybody's happy.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: And you just did what LSU just gave you all
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: that money.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 5: Because Ole Miss, they got their closure. Them getting the win,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 5: they got their closure. I just wanted it so bad
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 5: for them because of the way everything went down.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: They deserved the win.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but also to the villain, The villain aspect, it's like,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 5: that's what's garnering the emotion of me being excited about it.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 5: So it's like, that is, it's good for all of entertainment.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 4: It's like when you watch the Batman movie with the Joker.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 4: It's like, there's pieces of you during that movie that
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 4: are kind of like, man, I kind of hope that
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 4: Joker pulls this off. Because he's such a good villain.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: And like, I wasn't watching that game for Ole Miss.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: I was watching that game for Lane Kiffin. Ole Miss
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: just happened to be the team I was pulling for
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: because they were the team playing against Lane Kiffin. And
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even pulling against LSU. I was pulling against
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 5: And everything that was happening.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: And that's a great villain right there.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's great too because even the quarterback for LSU,
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: he was at ASU last year. There's just so many
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 4: kids that are just kind of thrusted into this. Like,
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 4: holy shit, the storyline is nuts.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: And you're the main vocal point.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: It's awesome. Oh, I love it.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 4: Trinidad is a gangster, dude.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: I love it. Lane don't care. He doesn't give a shit.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 5: You can actually see, though, at the end of the game,
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 5: you could tell, like, I don't know, it hit him
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 5: differently than I think he was anticipating.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: Going into that game.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: That pisses me off. He had his post-game press conference.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 4: He's like, people got to realize I'm human too. Shut up.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 4: Don't fucking do that. Like, stay villain.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: Stay Darth Vader. Yeah, stay. Exactly. Exactly. Don't show up.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: I need you to be. You should have walked in.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: Be Michael Myers the mascot. You should have walked in
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: that press conference and said, oh yeah, they beat us.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: We'll see you in the championship game.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: Or not.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, keep it going. Because after Ole Miss Sealy tried
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 5: reaching out to give a couple high fives to his players.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: And they're like, yeah, they ain't having that one bit, man.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 4: Not one bit.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 3: It peaked at $ 16 million.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 4: $ 16 million.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 3: Texas, Ohio State, and then they have yet to publish
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: the Ole Miss LSU numbers yet.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 5: That one's going to be fireworks.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 4: You see that in the second game right there, Oklahoma, Michigan,
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 4: $ 8. 2 million.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: That's a ball club right there. That's a good ball club.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: Gamecocks don't want to see them.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 4: In your career, of all the successes you've had, what's
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: one thing that you wish you were able to do,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 4: whether it's like, getting out of your comfort zone, doing
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 4: some acting, doing something different, like some doors that you wish.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, goodness.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 4: Because there had to be some things that opened up
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 4: that you passed on that you look back on.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: The things that I wish we had done, stuff like
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: when Jerry was alive, I wish we had played with
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: the dead. Like we got offered a Grateful Dead show
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: once and couldn't take it. I wish we could have
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 1: taken that.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 4: Why couldn't you? Just scheduling?
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, another show. Scheduling, couldn't do it. You know, because
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: I was a big deadhead in college and everything. And,
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to get to go see Jerry play,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 1: that was gonna be, I wish we had gotten to play.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: When Zeppelin got back together for a minute there in 94,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: we got offered a Zeppelin gig and same thing, was
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: already booked and couldn't do it. That's just, I still
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: wanna punch myself in the face for that one. That's
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: just crazy. But that's the kind of stuff that, the
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: stuff you didn't get to do, because really, I mean,
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: I got to do so much cool stuff.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 4: You kind of have to do it all.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 4: Did you ever want to be like acting or anything
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 4: or anything else?
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: No, I've done a little bit of stuff, you know,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: done little things here and there, but that's not, that's
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: not for me. That's not your bag. I saw one
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: time you went under. I'm a shallow hell. Shallow hell.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: I'm a shallow hell for 37 seconds. That's a great movie.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: I got the theme song. Did you? People like, yeah,
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: this is my world. This is who I am. That's me.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: People don't realize. People be sleeping on me. Yeah.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, dude, because you're a good actor. I saw a
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 4: clip of you going undercover.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 4: Dude, the undercover stuff is so, I wish more singers
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 4: and actors and actresses would do shit like that. Because
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 4: when you, have you seen the clip?
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: I have not.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 4: He like goes up and is like, I don't know
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 4: what the, I only seen like the 90 second clip.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 4: It was an undercover boss.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, undercover. And they wanted to do a celebrity undercover boss.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: And I went to Austin, Texas. And I busked. and
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: went to bars and was trying to find a singer.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: And they had me, oh man. I was in the
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: makeup chair for four and a half hours every morning.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: Four and a half hours every morning putting the makeup on.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 4: And bro, he gets up and he's getting these people evaluating.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Holy shit.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're evaluating people and he's falling over the mic,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 4: kind of fucking up a little bit. And then he
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 4: goes in and just starts killing it. And then people
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 4: are like, whoa, what's.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: Going on here? The hardest part was having to sing bad.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: That was the hardest part. For real? Yeah. Yeah, that
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: is a crazy get up right there.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 4: See, that's the kind of stuff, man. If I was
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 4: in your position, I'd do this. I'd probably be in makeup.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 5: All the undercover stuff.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 4: I think that'd be so much fun.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: That was fun. I ain't gonna lie to you, that
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: was fun. I still keep in touch with most of
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: the folks. The light, that's.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 4: Just solid stuff right there. That's just good quality cinema.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: That's me in like 20 years. Yeah, because the hair's
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: going to be back by then.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 5: We had some fans write in to give you some questions.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 5: We call this segment Hashtag Tear Talk. We got one
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 5: here from DakotaKid21. Your best golf handicap that you've carried.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: The best I've ever had was a 3.1 right before
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: my last hip surgery. But right now I think I'm
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: like a four, four, four, five.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 5: Hip surgery.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I've had my knee and my hip replaced, man. Oh, yeah.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Million dollar man. Oh, yeah. And I wish I had
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: done them years before. Oh, goodness. Yeah.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 4: Does it feel, can you like work out?
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: Can you move around? It's like everything. Nothing I can't do.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 4: Because they were telling me I got to get my
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 4: knee replaced someday. And I'm like, oh, that sounds like
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 4: it's going to be awesome. Like, no, you can't do,
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 4: you can't like be super active. But you're telling me
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 4: you can do whatever you want. You're operating out there.
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 5: You got to get with the right doc.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: Sounds like it. I do everything I want. Who did
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: your surgery? I do the Stedman Clinic out in Vail.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 4: Out in Vail.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: All right. Colorado. All right.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 5: This one right here from All Arrows Point. Talk about
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 5: reinventing yourself and the things you told yourself early on
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 5: after being on your own to keep going.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a crazy word for me because people say
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: I invented myself. I don't ever feel like I did.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: I just feel like I just said, okay, I'm going
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: to go over here and make some country music. And
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: the funny thing is we all talk about nobody looking
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: like me and everything. The one thing I said to myself,
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget this. One thing I said to myself
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: when I left the radio station, I said, Charlie Pryde
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: won Entertainer of the Year. country music in 1972 okay
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: 1972 can you imagine what he went through from 1955
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: to 1972 can you imagine to have to play those
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: little honky tonks the stuff he had to do in
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: that period of time nothing i will ever go through
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: will be as tough as that and i told myself
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: i can take anything they dish out yeah because nothing
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: i have to do could be as tough as what
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: he had to go through yeah he got it he.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 4: Got a song in Texas.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 5: Got a song in Texas.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 4: This is a two-parter from Zach Taylor 10.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love this.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 4: Can you tell us a little bit about your relationship
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 4: with Dan Marino and why you think country music and
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 4: football have always gone hand-in-hand as one of the greatest
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 4: combos out there?
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, Dan Marino, that friendship came, as everybody knows, I'm
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: a big Miami Dolphin fan. Tough, man. Gamecocks, Dolphins. We
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: had two huge hits that our label would have done
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: anything we wanted them to do. And we're in a
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: meeting for Only Want to Be With You coming out
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: as a single, and they say, what do you want to,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: What do you guys want to do with this video?
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: And we are, I mean, we've been drinking all day.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: And what do y'all want to do with this video?
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: And I looked up and said, I want to meet
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: Dan Murray. That was it? That was what I said.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care what else y'all do. I want to
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: meet Dan Marino. They wrote up this thing and we
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: sent him and he said, yeah, he'd do it. And
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: we go out to Chicago and we meet. And instantly,
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, instantly became friends. I think two weekends later
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: I was at his house. And people, this is how
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: close we were. He built a house the year I
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: met him, he was building a house. When the house
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: was finished, the guest house in the back had a
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: plaque that said Darius's house because every home game, I
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: would show up at his house on Wednesday and I
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: would only leave on Monday just to get out of
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: their hair for two days. If it was another game
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: and I come back on Wednesday, for three years of
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: his career, I stayed at his house every home game.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 5: Let me get out of here.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 4: That is wild.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And country music and country music and football, I mean,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: what do we have to say? I mean, that's obvious.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 5: That's a bad question.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, it's America. It's what we're all about.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: It goes together, tailgating and country music.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 4: What are you more optimistic about right now, Miami Dolphins
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 4: or South Carolina Gamecocks football season?
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 5: Good question.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: I'm probably more optimistic about who do you have in
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: the number one again? And I know that ain't gonna happen.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: So right now, who's closer is the question you think?
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 4: What are you more optimistic about?
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: I'm more optimistic about the Gamecocks right now. Hell yeah.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 4: Alabama.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: I really think, I mean, it's called football. If we
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: play a great game, we can win the game. I
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: tell you what. Let's make it a little more clear.
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: Dolphins winning the division, Gamecocks winning the conference. Which one
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: would have a better chance of Gamecocks? I think there's
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: a better chance of the Gamecocks winning the division than
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins winning six games.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 4: What the hell?
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: And I love my Miami Dolphins.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you got the shirt on.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: It's tough to watch.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 4: It's tough to watch.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: But, you know, hey, I love Arch Manning. Cooper... Somebody
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: says to me the other day, I say something about Arch,
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: and somebody goes, yeah, well, you got to build a
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: team before you get the quarterback. Yeah, I'm going to
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: have Arch Manning and an edge rusher, and I'm going
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: to take the edge rusher so I can build my team.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 4: What would you rather have as a Miami Dolphin, Arch
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 4: Manning or Lenore Sellers?
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, good question. They had three Kevin's Natural Foods questions.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: You might as well ask. You brought up politics just now, man.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: We can do that next time. That's not cool. That's
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: a terrible, hard question for me to ask. I would
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: want either one of them. But the upside of Arch Manning,
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: if he's really what they say he is.
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 4: He's Manning.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: It's going to be.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 4: Think about this, though. You talk about our edge rusher.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 4: You get an edge rusher in the first, and the
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 4: way that Lenore's is going right now, you give him.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: A third or fourth. That's true.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 7: Dylan Stewart in the first, Lenore's in the third?
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: I'll take that. Oh, you want that over Arch? Absolutely. Okay. Hey,
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: that's a good spin. Most smart GMs would make that trade,
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: don't you think? No. Yes. I've done two picks, man.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 1: Two picks, man.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 5: One of three.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 4: Dylan Stewart is a dog. There's no doubt about it.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 4: But if you can get a franchise quarterback for the
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 4: next 10 to 15 years....
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: And he's gonna have, and you're gonna get that quarterback
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: that has that thing that's so rare in the NFL.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: He's gonna really have to mess up bad to ever
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: be talked about. I mean, look at, you know, he's
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: gonna be in that Herbert category.
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 4: Who is?
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: Arch? Arch. where it's going to be everybody else's fault. Yeah.
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 4: I do worry, yeah, the name part. The expectation's always
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 4: going to be so high on him. He legitimately has
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 4: to be a Hall of Famer.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: Has to be. For it to pan out at all.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: Has to be. He's got to be Derrick Henry. Absolutely,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: he has to be. Yeah.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 5: Which team messes up your weekend more? Probably the Gamecocks
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 5: because it's Saturday.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And they lose on Saturday. you know, I'm watching
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins and I'm expecting it, so I'm already upset.
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 4: God, that's heartbreaking.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, dude, you people, it's not as bad as it
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: used to be. Honestly, people laugh at me. You still
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: make the Dolphins still make you cry? And after the
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: 1-16 season, the 1-15 season really changed, wow, look at football. Like,
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: that was tough to take. And the Gamecocks, we had
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: a stretch where we went 1-21. Like, Lou Holtz, his
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: first year, he was 0-10. So we had I've known
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: like really bad football. So, uh, you're a real fan.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: I'm a real, I do that every, every year. Because
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: every year, I believe, y'all. I'm going to tell y'all,
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: until game one, I believe the Dolphins were going to
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. And that wasn't me joking. I
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: believed we were going to win the Super Bowl until
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: the first game.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 4: Legitimately, I just feel like I'm talking to a six-year-old
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 4: Mortan JP.
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 4: You two are the exact same when it comes to
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 4: your South Carolina fandom.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 2: And South Carolina water, man.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 4: Might be the most beautiful fan base of all time.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 4: Just the optimism.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: The crazy thing about South Carolina in football is we've
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: never won anything yet. And we believe.
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, buddy, the internet's starting to get there, too.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: The harsh truth. Oh, we're getting crushed. I know. But
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: we believe.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 4: Are you tapped into the, like, South Carolina internet? Do
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 4: you have, like, a burner account?
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: No, I don't do that. I don't do that. But
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: do you have an account that you just look and
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: see what everybody's up to? I do. I keep up
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: with it. I keep up with it. You know, and
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of friends at the athletic department
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: and stuff. And so, you know, it's... Yeah, because... We
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: want to win. Hell yeah. We want to win. We
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: want to win. We want to win baseball. We are
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: the women's basketball school. Equestrian. We got two national, equestrian. Defending.
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: Defending national championships. Once again, our new motto at the
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: University of South Carolina is don't fuck with our girls
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: riding horses. That's all I'm going to say about that.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 4: That's a new motto.
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: And all of our sports programs are so great. That's
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: what they really are. We got great coaches that are
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: doing great things. And somehow we only wanna win one.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: We don't wanna be a dynasty. We're not stupid. We
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: wanna do what Indiana did last year. I wanna get
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: a bunch of 26 year old kids to come and
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: spend two years in South Carolina, beat up on a
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 1: bunch of your kids and go coach high school football.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 4: Just late 20-year-olds selling insurance after.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: That's one thing I said to Coach Beamer after Indiana one.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, we just saw the blueprint. That's the
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: only way we can do it. We're never going to
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: be Alabama. We're never going to be Michigan. We're never
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: going to be Notre Dame. That's how we have to
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: do it. And the window's going to be this. It's
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: going to close as soon as it opens. But when
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: it's open, you've got to go through it. Indiana went
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: through it.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 4: How many kids do you have?
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: Three.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 4: Are they doing well? Okay, I'm glad you answered that
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 4: question because there is an opportunity for you when it's
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 4: all said and done and this beautiful life you lived
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 4: has come to an end. There's a world, if your
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 4: kids are doing that well, that maybe all the money
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 4: you've made can go and get that done for the
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 4: South Carolina Gamecocks.
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, you mean to tell me give my money to
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: the Gamecocks and not my kids?
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 7: Oh, no.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: You said they're doing well. I don't know. My kids
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: will kill you. I mean, they're doing well. Fair enough.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: I'm doing well, but I'm pretty sure they're counting on that.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: My son might give it all to the game. He's
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: a bigger fan than I am.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 4: For real?
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's going to school there. He might give it all. God.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: At least you got it in the bloodline, man. Yeah.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 5: That is nice.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: But you know what sucks? Anybody here a dad? Growing up?
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: Your son's supposed to love your team. Your son's supposed
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: to love your team. He's a big Gamecock fan. So
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: one day, I'm going on the road. I just started
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: country music, and I'm on the road with Brad Paisley,
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 1: and we're playing... And we just happened to be playing
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: in Green Bay on Friday night. So this is Tuesday,
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm watching the highlights. Jack and I are watching
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: the highlights. He walks in my room with, Dad, I
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: got a new team. I said, who's your team? I
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: think he's like five or six. I got a new team.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: Who's your team? The Greenway Packers. I got a new
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: second team, he said, because we were a Dolphins fan.
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: I got a new second team. I said, who's your team?
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: The Greenway Packers. Absolutely, man. You love the Greenway Packers. Okay.
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: So I go on the road, and Friday we just
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: happened to be playing in Green Bay, and they had
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: a bye week. So everybody comes out, Aaron comes out,
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: everybody comes out, I get everybody to buy, to sign
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: a jersey for him. I take home the jersey, I
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: give it to him, he freaks out, it gets framed,
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: and they win the fucking Super Bowl. And my son
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: is now not a Miami Dolphins fan. Doesn't like them
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: at all. Strictly Green Bay Packers. So once a year
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: I'm up in Lambeau with 87 damn coats on, sitting
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: outside in Lambeau somewhere so we can go to see
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: the Packers in the winter. because that kid wants to
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: go see it, yeah. I had a job.
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 5: What if he walked up to you and said, I
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 5: have a second team and that team's Clemson?
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, he would be disowned. He couldn't live in the house.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: He's like, hey, Dad, I'd rather go to Clemson for
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: college than South Carolina. This is how much I know
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't do that. My kids knew it was a joke.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: Don't come up to Dad and say, hey, Dad, I
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: got into Clemson. I'm thinking about it.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 4: Don't even apply.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: Don't even do the joke. Yeah. Because I told him,
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: if you get into Clemson, you can go. You will
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: have no car and no money. You will have no
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: car and you will not have a penny. You can
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: have fun. You need to get a job and a scholarship.
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: You need a job and a scholarship.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 4: How does your heart feel seeing the state of Clemson
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 4: football right now?
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, we talk a lot of trash about Clemson
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: and everything, but I like Clemson. I got so many friends.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: I got so much respect for Dabo.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 7: I do.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect for Dabo. I know
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: Dabo's a friend. I got a lot of respect for Dabo.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 4: He's a friend.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: He's a friend.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 4: Has he been to your shows?
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 1: Yes. I think I've done some charity stuff for them
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: and everything.
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 5: Working with a rival.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: But I'll be honest with you, I'm really glad to
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: see you. When Clemson loses, my day's a little bit okay.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: Even though the Gamecocks lost, But Clemson lost too, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 4: You guys are in a good spot right now for
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 4: that last game of the year. Debo might not be there.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: Neither might Shane. I'll be there.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 5: I'll be there.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: I'll be there too, man. I will be there.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 4: Is it in South Carolina this year?
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: It's at Clemson. Is it at Clemson? Yeah. I won't
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 1: be there. You won't be there?
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 4: You ain't going there?
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: I went to one away game at Clemson in my life,
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: and I will never go again. I always go. I mean-
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 1: I've been in a lot of fights in my life,
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: and I don't mind fighting. I've almost gotten five fights.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 4: They're nasty fans?
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: They were not happy that Hootie was there.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 4: No, I love that.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, I won't do that again. They were not happy
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: that Hootie was there. Hootie's here.
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 4: Should we ask him the number one question we've been
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 4: talking about for, I think, over two years?
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, I want to hear this question. So I will
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: bow out of this.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 4: This is more for JP and for Will, because I
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 4: was not on the first podcast. I have not been
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 4: a part of this, so I will let you guys
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 4: have the floor.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: Which one's this?
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 5: Are we talking about the BLQ?
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: No, no.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, we're talking about Manning.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about Manning.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 5: Got you, got you.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, please, I want this question. Who do you
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: think is more globally famous, you or Peyton Manning? Oh,
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: it's Peyton Manning.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 2: Humble.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: Humble. Humble.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 7: That's the answer you want if you're on my side.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 4: Football is not even really relevant.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: Across the pond. It's just commercials. The commercials and everything
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: is what makes it. Because even, like, I've seen Peyton
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: Manning commercials in England. Yeah. Oh, for real? And, like,
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: you know, billboards and all that stuff. You see it
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: over there. So it's Peyton.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 5: Who do you think?
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: And he's a member of Augusta.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 4: I would have guessed that.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: He's a member of Augusta. You're not a member? No.
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 4: What's going on?
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: That is another question. Okay, fair enough. Onward?
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I would have guessed Darius for sure. Just
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 4: because from a global standpoint, you say you play arenas
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 4: in Europe.
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. And I play arenas in Australia and
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: New Zealand too.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 4: See, Australia and New Zealand probably aren't very familiar. They
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 4: probably know who Tom Brady is, but from a fame standpoint, like, oh,
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 4: I want to go see Darius play.
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 7: But see right there.
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: I know you're right. If you're talking about getting people
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: to come to, like if Peyton was on tour and
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: doing a meet and greet in Australia, I'm.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 4: Pretty sure that would go under.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 5: What's AI talking about?
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: It's saying Peyton Manning, but it's saying it's close.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: I just looked up your, so Hootie and the Blowfish
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 2: has 5.1 million listeners on Spotify. And then you have 9.5.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: So that's like 15 million monthly listeners across your two bands.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 2: Peyton Manning only has 1 million followers on Instagram.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 4: That's the worst comparison.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: That's a bad comparison, but I love the angle.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 2: Think about 15 million monthly listeners.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, 15 million monthly listeners.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 5: How many Super Bowls is Darius Rucker.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: At?
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 4: He's got two national championship equestrian rings.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 5: I know that.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: He's got a women's basketball championship. I got three women's
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: basketball championships. He's got five rings. I got more than that.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: I got our SEC women's golf basketball. What, an SEC
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: golf championship? Women's golf? I am the honorary coach of
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: the women's golf hours on SEC. You see that?
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 4: Peyton Manning is the honorary coach of the women's golf team.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 5: I will say what I respect, too, is that he
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 5: has these national titles with those teams. It's not just
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 5: South Carolina Gamecock football. Darius could arguably be the number
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 5: one celebrity fan out there.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 6: Because usually they just rock with the football team.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Or just the basketball team.
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because the first one that came to mind was
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 4: Luke Holmes, but he's just... He's a free agent. He's
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 4: kind of a free agent. But he loves ball.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. See, I'm that guy who won't wear another team's jersey.
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: I won't go to play in Knoxville and wear a
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: Tennessee jersey. Don't get me wrong, I got my fanatics
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: line and when I'm doing my model work, I wear whatever.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna walk in your stadium and wear
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: your jersey. Yeah, like people all the time, like even
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: like I'll play, I won't walk, like play in LA
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: and stuff. What is Raiders jersey?
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: Dolphins. Dolphins and Gamecocks.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 4: You go up north in the Big Ten country, you
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 4: rock any different jerseys?
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 7: Gamecock.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: Gamecock hat.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 2: No. That's a good call, Will.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: People always try to do it. Especially if you're playing
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: in a basketball arena. They'll come back. Notre Dame or
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: something pretty. They'll come and give you a jersey with
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: Rucker on it. Nice. I ain't wearing that. God, I
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: respect that. We got the internet. I ain't wearing that.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 4: The way you're operating right now is so honorable.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 5: Has anybody else came up in your head while we're
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 5: sitting there thinking about that? As far as number one fan?
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: No. I got mad about something because somebody did that
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: online once and they were like the number one fan
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: from each NFL team and the number one fan from
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins was Johnny Depp. And I'm like, I didn't
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: know Johnny Depp was a Dolphin fan. Everybody in the country,
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: there's people that don't even know who Darius Roker is.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: You go, you're Darius Roker and he's a Dolphin fan?
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: Johnny Depp, I've never seen him operating from.
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 5: A Miami Dolphins.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: I was like, wow, Johnny Depp was the biggest Dolphins
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: fan to me.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 4: He's all tied to the Caribbean one time, and he's
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 4: down by that area.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you get a movie by the ocean.
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I'm downhill with my teams, man.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's three right here. Jack Nicholson, Lakers, Spike Lee, Knicks,
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 4: and then Drake with the Raptors.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: But I think it's only NBA. I'm personally talking like college.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: Across all sports. Yeah, that's interesting. Because the South really...
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: The South is where... The South is where college... Like,
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: you got Luke and Jason Aldean with Georgia. Yeah. Eric
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: Church with North Carolina.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 4: Thomas Rhett's a Georgia fan.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: You got... Yeah, Thomas Rhett's a Georgia fan. You got
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 1: Longs Rain. Oh, God, that's my friend. Yeah.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 5: Josh Turner?
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: Josh Turner's a big Clemson guy. Josh Turner's a big
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 1: Clemson guy. So it was... Yeah, I don't... Clemson. Anyway,
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: but there's a lot, in country music, there's a lot
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 1: of guys with colleges.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 4: Any piece of you ever want to be a Titans
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 4: fan living in Nashville for so long?
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, Dolphin fan. I've never thought about being
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: anything else. All right. It's never. That's fair, and you
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: did it so respectfully. And I pulled for them. Don't
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: get me wrong, if the Titans, if I go to
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: a Titans game and they're not playing the Dolphins or
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: the game doesn't matter for the Dolphins, I'll pull for
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: the Titans, but they're not. The Dolphins are, my blood
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 1: runneth aqua.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 4: It'd be a hell of a game, though, between the
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 4: Dolphins and the Titans right now.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: But I want you to, and I really hope this
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't hurt my standing with the Dolphins, but the Dolphins
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: are the organization that had the greatest quarterback to ever
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: play the game and could not win a Super Bowl. Wow.
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 4: Tom Brady is the best quarterback.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 5: At that time, though.
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 1: Everybody, you need to get off the crack. Joe Montana said,
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: I saw his interview a few months ago. Somebody was
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: talking about football. Joe Montana, who, I'm going to take
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: his word more than yours. They were talking about quarterback.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 1: Montana was like, no. He said, who's the best quarterback ever?
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 1: He said, oh, Dan Marino. If Dan Marino had won
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, we would not be having this conversation.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but Tom's got seven.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tom's had seven in one of the greatest organizations
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: of all time. They were, please plug it. Y'all keep
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 1: giving it to Tom Brady. Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft. You
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 1: saw him have the Bill Belichick after he left. Yeah,
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 1: but that's having the owner.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 5: Tom went and won another one.
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I'm not coming down on Tom
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: Brady at all. Feels like he are. Whatever he is,
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: I think he's a great player. I just don't think
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: throwing the ball, I don't think taking six steps. With
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: five big guys in front of you, and you've got
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: four guys running that way, and you've got six guys
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: trying to stop him, one throw, I don't think Tom
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 1: Brady's close to Dan Marino in that situation.
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 4: You're talking about a thrower of the football.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: One throw, throwing the football, making that decision, throwing that football.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 4: So you're saying Dan Marino is the best thrower of
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 4: the football?
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 1: Of all time. I was just going to say Aaron Rodgers.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is also great. Aaron Rodgers is probably number one.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: And all of this comes from the fact that I'm
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: a Dolphin fan. And Joe Montana's a genius. So I'm
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 1: going to let y'all... Yeah, all these people are great.
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: They're great. And what they all have that Marino doesn't
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: have is a Super Bowl. They all have that.
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 4: I love this right here. This is a strong next group.
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 4: You're at the bottom of the list. South Carolina Gamecocks.
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 4: Gamecocks alum.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: Very public about it. Very public about it. I love it. Oh,
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: it's so funny.
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 4: McConaughey, though.
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: McConaughey in Texas. Oh, he's big. He's big in Texas. Yeah,
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: he's at every single game. He's got his own. He's
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: a professor.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 4: That's your next move, by the way.
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: When Hootie made it in 94, when we got big
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: in 95, applications to the University of South Carolina went
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 1: up something like 80%.
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 2: McConaughey ain't doing that at Texas.
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 4: McConaughey's already done it.
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 7: He low-key, though, hopped on the Texas train late.
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 1: I thought he went to school there, didn't he?
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 6: He went to school there, but him being publicly at
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 6: all of these events and being Mr.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 1: Texas Longhorn.
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 4: He's got more time now, man. He's married.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: For sure. He had to work, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 4: I think that's the move. Once you're done, once you
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 4: get your London fix, you come back and you're a
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 4: professor at South Carolina. That's the next move for you.
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 5: You travel with the team everywhere.
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, they've offered me. They've offered me to teach a
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: class a million times if I wanted to.
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 4: In Houston? not into it? What would you teach other
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 4: than music?
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's what I would teach. Something like touring or
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 1: something like that. Like our old tour manager. History of
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: country music. Yeah. Our old tour manager is a professor there.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: And so once every other year I go and teach
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: a class for him.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, no shit.
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 1: It's a music business class that he teaches, yeah.
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 4: That's awesome.
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 5: By the way, that little stat that you said when
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 5: everybody was kind of talking, the applications went up how
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 5: much percent?
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: Like 80%. It was crazy. Like they almost doubled applications
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 1: in 96, 97 or something like that. It was crazy.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: It's still way up.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 4: That is wild. Hootie and the Blowfoot you said when
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 4: you guys made it what is like the biggest difference
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 4: culturally for the genre music you're with Hootie compared to
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 4: country music as far as like bands getting along with
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 4: each other artists getting along with each other is it
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 4: more like the pop punk it feels like it would
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 4: be a little more edgy like we're a.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 1: Little more hands up. Rock and roll, rock and roll.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: We didn't have a lot of friends. There's not a
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 1: lot of people who were hanging out.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 4: It's not like a rising tide lifts all ships situation, right?
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: No, you see, the competition is there. When did you know?
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: It sucks. It sucks because a band like Dave Matthews,
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: we've been playing with Dave for, we played frat houses
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: with Dave in 91, 92. We used to be best friends,
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 1: but it was the competition. We were playing the same clubs.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 4: And you didn't view the competition back then? You were
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 4: just trying to make it yourself?
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 1: Of course, back then you probably felt it, because you're
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: all playing the same clubs. And you get into the
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: club and they just play two nights before they sell out. Yeah,
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: so we got to sell out today. You're running around
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 1: campus handing out flyers and shit. But after we made it,
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: we didn't feel any competition. It was competition anymore.
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 4: When you were playing for frat houses, what was your
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 4: form of payment back in the day?
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: Money and beer. I guess probably that Dave Matthews show
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: we played with the Frat House, we probably got $ 1, 000
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: in all the beer we could drink.
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 5: There you go. All the beer we could drink.
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 4: I heard there was a rumor in our pre-production that
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 4: you got paid for cases of beer to play at
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 4: fraternities when you guys first started.
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, I first started, absolutely.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 4: And the price went up. It went from like two
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 4: cases of beer to three cases of beer.
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Our first probably 10 gigs or 15 gigs were
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: strictly for beer. Strictly for beer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: love that. We had to steal the PA from the
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: university because we couldn't afford to rent a PA. So
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 1: I was in a show choir and we had our
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: own PA and the guy who was in charge of
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 1: it was a friend of mine. So we'd steal the
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 1: PA and take it to the club and play and
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: take the PA back. No shit. That's why I love
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 1: South Carolina and stuff like that. I mean, if I
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: hadn't gone to South Carolina, my life would be absolutely different.
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think I would have played in a band.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think, I definitely wouldn't have had this kind
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: of success. And when you look at all four of us, Dean,
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: like I said, should have gone to Elon. He thought
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: he was. Mark wanted to go to JMU and didn't
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: get in. Sony wanted to play soccer, and the only
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: reason he came to South Carolina is because the only
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: Division I school would give him a scholarship. I decided
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 1: a month out of South Carolina I was going there
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 1: because they were in the Playboy Magazine's Top 25 Party
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: Schools article. That's how I decided to go there.
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 4: That's why you read those magazines.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 1: It was the article.
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 4: It was the article.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 5: Some good write-ups in there.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, always. That was really good. Arnold Bombeck wrote that.
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 4: Article. JB, what's those little, what are they called? Cockaboos?
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the cockaboos.
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 4: Do you have one?
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 4: Do you still have one?
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: I have the best tailgate spot at South Carolina.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 4: How often do you use it?
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: You use it every weekend. I probably only get to
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 1: go to two or three games a year.
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 4: So if there were a couple guys that had a
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 4: podcast on a bus and they happened to go to
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 4: a South Carolina game.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, please. If you want to do your podcast from
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 1: my cockaboos, I would let you. It's perfect.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, that would be bad.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 1: That'd be fun. It's perfect. It's perfect. We got a
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: place you could sit up and you look and watch people.
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: I got a perfect place for you to do your show. Really?
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we want to do the show.
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 4: We just kind of want to hang out. Well, you
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 4: can hang out too.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: Hang out, be bros. Hang out. We'll walk to the
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 1: game from my cockaboos. It's like. You have to see, yes.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 1: I have a cock-a-boos, and yes, you're invited to come.
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 1: I want you guys to come to the club. Not
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 1: this year. I'll tell you what game I'm going to.
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 1: You guys come to that game. And I've got tickets
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 1: for you, too. Oh, you've got tickets? Absolutely.
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 4: All right, I feel like we're kind of in a nice.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 1: Little relationship here. I have four tickets in the regular box,
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: and then I have my own box with like eight, so...
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 1: And then we'll sit with you in the box. We'll
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: hang out.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 4: Talk about wall wear. South Carolina Gamecock stuff.
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 1: Be out there. I don't want him wearing no Gamecock stuff.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 1: We don't need no Huskers.
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 4: Bad juju.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: As long as I can wear a Husker hat. Yes,
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 1: please do. Please do. Just respect. I hope they're playing
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: at the same time so I can talk shit while
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: they're leaving. Do you know what game you're going to
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 1: yet this year? No, but I'll find out.
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 4: I heard you.
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: Talk about playoffs, man. Playoffs!
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 4: This buzz is cautiously optimistic about the Huskers right now.
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 4: We have, well, mostly me, have been pulling the reins
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 4: on Will quite a bit. We will say, he will say,

  Speaker 1: Gotta handle business.
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 4: Handle business.
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 1: And then who's after that? Don't know.
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 5: It's all focused on Michigan State.
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 1: Damn right. Damn right.
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 4: It's a trick question.
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you do know.

  Speaker 1: At the Haymarket?
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 5: You're talking about the rail.
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: The rail, the rail, the rail. Off of O Street.
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 1: Shut up.
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 4: Sherm has a steal of the movie, Ted, when they're
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 4: seeing karaoke. Did you have to sign off on this
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 4: or did you find out?
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, they called us. They called us before they
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: made the movie.
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 4: Did you say, hey, go ahead and do it?
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: We said, please. Oh, they paid.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 4: Got to.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: They got to pay for that. If you see us
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: in a movie, they paid. I love that. Oh, yeah.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: The funny thing is, you know, I think they thought
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 1: we were going to, they really like said, a representative
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: to really show us how they weren't making, you know,
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: they were not making fun. It was like, I don't
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 1: give a fuck if you're making fun of us, it's funny.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 5: It's funny.
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: Just do what you think is best. Do what you
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 1: think is funny.
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 4: And then Bayard did a great job of making fun
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 4: of Bayard's music.
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 1: When they tell you who's in it and who wrote it,
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: you know, McFarlane wrote it, I'm such a huge fan.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, please do that. That is awesome.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 5: We were talking earlier, you getting paid in beer sets
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 5: up great, a great question we love to do on
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 5: Bust With The Boys. It's called the Bud Light question.
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 5: People would do anything for an ice cold Bud Light.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 1: It's true. What is something Darius Rucker would do anything for?
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 4: Can't say family.
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, you talking about like beer?
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: You would do anything for.
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 4: So people would do anything for a Bud Light.
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 4: But what's something separate from beer that you would do
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 4: anything for?
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, good question.
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 4: So we've had, do you want some examples?
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, give us some examples. Yeah, please.
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 4: People said they want to go to space, time travel.
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 4: We had a tight end that says he just wants
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 4: a nice steak.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 5: Joe Thomas- Bull semen.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 4: Bull semen.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 5: From a Wagyu bowl.
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: Japanese Wagyu bowl. I really know the answer. Okay. I
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 1: would do anything for four months in a row off. Oh.
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: Four months what? Four months in a row. Off.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 4: With nothing to do.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 1: Without having a show, without having an interview, without. I
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 1: would give anything for four months in a row off.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 1: You said interview. Interview.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, I love this.
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: This is not an interview. See, a hang's different. I
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 1: would do this. I got a radio show on BBC,
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: and I was talking about that kind of interview, me
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 1: interviewing people.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't want to do that.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 1: That's work. You want to be the interviewee, not the interviewer.
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 1: I like the E.
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I thought for sure he was going to say,
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 1: go back in time and get Dan Marino his ring. Oh, yeah. Oh,
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 1: I would do. I thought he was going to say it. Honestly,
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 1: I say this, and this is one of the things
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 1: you say, because, you know, but I mean this. I'd
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 1: give up two of my Grammys for Dan to have
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: won Super Bowl.
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 4: How many Grammys do you have?
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 1: Three.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 5: But still, you'd give up two of them.
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 1: I know, but is he really giving really anything? He's
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 1: still got one. Would you give up three? No, fuck no.
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 5: Dude, do you know what it means? Say you give
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 5: two to Dan Marino. would you give the final one
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 5: to the Gamecocks for a natty?
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 1: In the same year?
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 5: Yes. You give up all three of them?
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 1: In the same year. If I could have the Dolphins-
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. In the same year. If I
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: have the Dolphins and the Gamecocks win in the same year,
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 1: I would probably give up all three. Can I keep
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 1: my American Music Awards, though? Can I keep my CMA, ACM? Damn.
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, that would- I don't think people- As nice
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 1: as I'd like to be, I don't think people understand
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 1: who I would be for 364 days after Super Bowl
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 1: Sunday if that happened. Pull the curtain back. What would
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 1: you be like? First of all, y'all would be wherever
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 1: you guys were doing your remote someplace. All of a sudden,
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 1: Darius is standing behind you with a shirt that says
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: Dolphins on your TV show. I'm on game day every
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 1: weekend coming up, just trying to get on stage, letting
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: everybody know that the Dolphins have won and it would
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 1: be crazy. It would be crazy. I'd be on the
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 1: news doing stupid shit. I would have a show with
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 1: both it'd be split right in the middle Dolphins on
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 1: one side Gamecocks on one side that would be the
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 1: greatest day of all time.
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 4: Could you imagine?
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 1: What a turnaround too.
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 5: That would be.
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, could you imagine?
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 4: No.
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 4: Not really.
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 5: I don't think I could.
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 1: Dolphins and Gamecocks winning the title.
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 4: Like there's so many things on this earth that I
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 4: think a hundred years ago, they look back and be like,
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 4: there's no possible way. And I'm sitting there right now
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 4: thinking that same way about this situation. I hope it happens.
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 1: For both of you. It doesn't even have to be
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 1: the same year, but if it could happen the same year.
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, this is sad to watch. And
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 1: it's just sad to be where I am. I really look,
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: because I love the sports. I don't watch them casually.
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I watch in depth. I watch coaching changes.
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 1: I watch what's going on around the country, what other
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 1: people are doing, and I watch. And I keep watching.
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins are getting better. You know, we look at
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: the Tua deal with Pastor Herbert. We look at all
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 1: that stuff, okay? The people are making these decisions, okay?
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 1: Why are we not getting better? And now we're here,
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 1: and then we see Shane get us to a point where, okay,
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 1: here we go, we're ranked 11 preseason, and then we
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: don't make a bowl game, and then you lose to
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State after a 16-0 lead, and you sit there
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 1: and you look at the fan and you go, where's
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 1: it getting better? And that's tough. God bless. Heart goes
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 1: out to you, man. But the Reds.
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 5: That'd be a good clip.
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 1: The Reds, the Reds, you know, we got, we got Dale,
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 1: we got Dale Cruz down there performing for the Dodgers
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 1: and the Yankees.
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 4: Do you like the, the Dolphins owner?
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.

• 2:19:45
  Speaker 1: I got to meet him a couple of times and,
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: you know, he said to me, I was in his
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 1: box and he said, uh, And Darryl said, hey, you're
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 1: a big fan. You do a lot for the team.
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 1: What can I do for you? And I said, Mr. Ross,
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 1: you can just win a Super Bowl.
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 4: He says, please, for the love of God.
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 1: I will do anything. You want me to play a
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 1: free show? I'll come play a free show. How many
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 1: do you want?
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 4: How many free shows would you play?
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 1: What do you want? For winning a Super Bowl?
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 4: For a Super Bowl.

• 2:20:13
  Speaker 4: At Hard Rock.

  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, man.
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 4: God, what are you working on here, Sherm?
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 1: JP, just the ending bite that he had where he's like,
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 1: and that's tough.
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 7: You have no idea where I felt that in my soul.
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 4: JP, I feel like there was a single tear going
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 4: down your cheek while you were saying that.
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 1: You understand, man. Oh, yeah. The thing about Gamecock fans,
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, we, all of us, and I don't know why,
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: all of us believe... We're right there, always, no matter what.
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 1: We were one in 21 believing, man, we got Lou
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 1: Holtz now. We're two years away from playing for the
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: national championship. We weren't. We were three, four from Spurrier
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 1: making us relevant for a second. But you believe and
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 1: you get to this point and, you know, it's like
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 1: when you're a Reds fan and you're five weeks into
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 1: the season, you're mathematically eliminated. As a sports fan, I'm
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 1: just really excited that I'm so happy with my life.
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 1: I love Emily. I cannot wait to be married to her.
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 1: I love my career. It's amazing. My kids are awesome.
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 1: My kids are amazing. They're making me so proud. I'm
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 1: so glad that part of my life is going great
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 1: because my sports life sucks ass. And not in a
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 1: good way. He had to bring up the good. I
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 1: love my family, man. My kids are good. I hate to.
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 4: Bring this up, but Sherwin, what do you even have
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 4: on the screen here?
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 3: It's the compiled odds of the Dolphins winning the Super
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 3: Bowl and the Gamecocks winning the Natty.
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 1: Looks like a one in 300,000 chance. I'm headed to
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 1: Vegas right now. We're back on. Come on. Dad, those
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 1: odds are actually better than I thought. It was better.
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 4: They are better than I thought.
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 1: I thought it would be worse than.
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 4: That, too.
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 1: I thought it would be worse. I thought I'd be worse.
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 1: Anybody got a lock for me this week, by the way?
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 1: Can I give you one? And I'm going to tell you,
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 1: if you hit this, I need your phone number because
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 1: I fucking suck. Amen, brother. Can I give you one
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 1: that I'm proud of? Florida Ole Miss under. I will
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 1: take it. Yeah. Florida Ole Miss under. Three weeks. Three weeks.
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 1: Two and 21. No way. I remember whale numbers. You
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 1: do wait weekly picks, right? I'm at least three for
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: 10 every week.
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 5: Two and 21.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 1: Dude, I got one.
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 4: I sent it to JP.
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 1: I went 5-1 in college last week, though, but I
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 1: didn't bet any of those games. What's your luck?
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 4: Do you know that South Carolina, as bad as they are,
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 4: how good they are in the first half?
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 2: True.
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 4: They're incredible in the first half. Alabama is notoriously, in 2026,
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 4: very slow at starting and picking up in the second half.
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 1: Yep. Right now, minus 105, Gamecocks, plus 6.5 at halftime.
• 2:23:20
  Speaker 1: That's your bet right there. All right. I'm betting it.
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 1: Minus what? Minus six and a half?
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, plus six and a half. Odds, minus 100.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 4: So it's basically a straight bet.
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 5: For a halftime bet.
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 7: For a halftime bet.
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 5: I like that.
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 4: Dude, I was racking my brain after this game you
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 4: guys had because of the love I have for JP
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 4: and Cog Nation. It's probably the most lovable fan base.
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking Alabama this week, where's a bet that we
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 4: can feel good about it? And that to me, Can't
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 4: say locks. There's no guarantees, right?
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 1: There's no locks yet. There's no locks.
• 2:23:50
  Speaker 4: But I feel as confident as I ever have about
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 4: that bet right there.
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: I'll be on it big time. Yeah. And if I lose,
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 1: imagine that. I'll never have your number. If you lose,
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: what's changed? Imagine that. Ole Miss, Florida, under in the total.
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 1: Two letdown spots. But one of my least favorite things
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 1: to do in the world. It's taken under. It's 100%.
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 4: That's everybody's least favorite team.
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 1: I took three unders this weekend and lost them all
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 1: on the last drive of every game.
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 5: You want an over? Go USC-Oregon.
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm going to take that.
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma State-West Virginia is a great over.
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 1: I hope somebody's writing all these down. We'll send you
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 1: a list. We'll send you a Google Doc. I mean,
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 1: I'm awful. I'm going to just go with y'all. Hey,
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 1: to be fair, we are not doing well right now.
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: So I want your picks.
• 2:24:38

  Speaker 1: to lose. That's for sure. There you go. That's the
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 1: way it works. That's for sure.
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, though. Sports gambling is fun. Baccarat, blackjack,
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 4: you sit at a table with the boys for a
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 4: few hours and do that.
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 1: It's hard to beat that. That's my, that's like, sports
• 2:26:56
  Speaker 1: gambling has become just like, really just, you know, sometimes
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 1: I think about it, I'll go put some money on
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 1: the game. It's not something I sit and think about
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 1: like I used to. But getting to go to Vegas.
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 1: Like the other night when I played in Vegas, I
• 2:27:08
  Speaker 1: sat with my boys after the show for like five hours,
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 1: took them for big money.
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 5: What'd you play at?
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 1: We were playing at the Aria. We played at the Aria.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 1: And playing two deck at the Aria and just killing them.
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 1: Playing four or five hours, just having a blast. Yeah,
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 1: just sitting there, you know, having a few drinks, not

• 2:27:40
  Speaker 1: enjoy Vegas.
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 4: What's the most you've ever won on a weekend in Vegas?

  Speaker 1: The biggest weekend I ever had in Vegas, I walked
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 1: away with, I think, $ 6. 50 one weekend. No shit.
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Playing blackjack?

  Speaker 1: And as I walk in the room, there's an Olympic
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 1: sized swimming pool in the room. And the guy says, well,

  Speaker 1: there's like eight rooms in here. Just pick whichever one
• 2:29:02
  Speaker 1: you want. I saw it walk out and every room

  Speaker 1: was like 1,200, 1,500 square feet, each room. And I'm like,
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 1: this is crazy. And so Charles comes a couple hours later.

• 2:29:28
  Speaker 1: to the fight and we have a great night gambling,
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 1: sitting there. The crazy part, like he plays roulette. They
• 2:29:33
  Speaker 1: bring a roulette table and set it next to a
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 1: blackjack table so we could sit there and drink and
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 1: gamble together. And we're having a great time. And the next,
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 1: he says to me, so how are you getting home tomorrow?

  Speaker 1: me and Charles, and I'm freaking out. We land in Phoenix,
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 1: and Charles says to the guy, take him to Charleston.
• 2:30:04
  Speaker 1: No shit. Take him to Charleston. 747. This was at
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: a point in my life where I got these friends,
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 1: and they're like my best friends. I see them all
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 1: the time now, like we do boys weekends. But we
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 1: had a couple, like some months or years where I

  Speaker 1: of the rednecks walks by and he walks by and
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 1: he kind of says something to Charles. You know, we
