• 1:50
  Speaker 3: like I said, man, seeing the evolution of what's happened
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: with busting and then like you guys, man, like obviously
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Will and Taylor, you know, they have a lot going on.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: But to see you guys start this and to watch
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: like your individual like growth through social media, dude, has
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: been such a treat. Anytime I get an opportunity to
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: just comment or like or whatever and show love, man,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: like I try to do that. I'm not the greatest
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: about it, but just know that, like I'm rooting for
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: each and every one of you man.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: For sure, when when you're first meeting with Will, you
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: can break down how you met up with Will for
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: the very first time. But before you get into that,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: when you did meet with him for the first time,
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: did you see it getting to where it is now
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: or was it more just like, let's see, I know
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Will's talented, but I wonder how he'll be able to
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: scale it. Yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: No, So honestly, my first reaction and do you want
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: me to kind of go into the story of how
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I got Yeah, for sure, it'll lead to that obviously.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But so at the time, I had just got out
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: of the Army and I moved from Hawaii to Tennessee.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: And I chose Tennessee because, well, it was a little
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: it wasn't California. I didn't want to go back to California,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: right and I didn't want to stay in Hawaii because
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: it was too expense. If and I don't care what
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: anybody says, if you're on an island for three years,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: it's kind of boring, Like you could only hike, you
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: could only surf, you could only do so many of
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: those same activities before you want something different, man, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: you're limited on who comes here. So like right as
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: far as like you know, shows, comedians, all that stuff,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Like you're not getting any of that stuff unless it's
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: somebody I like a retirement toward just kind of like
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: you know, paying like giving back to those those people
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: who supported him. So you're not getting any of the
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: new town Like Taylor Swift ain't coming to why right,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: but you know she's not maybe because he's on the
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: back end. But yeah, So I was kind of over that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Tennessee held a special place in my heart because this
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: is where I deployed from Afghanistan from. There was just
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of pride that I had in the unit
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: that I served here, So I just wanted to come back.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: That southern hospitality really left a mark on me. So
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I chose Tennessee and also pushed me out of my
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: comfort zone, right, like not being around family, you tend
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to just kind of like, hey, if shit goes wrong,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: like at least I got my family. When when you've
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: moved to a different state knowing like one person, like
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: your back's against the wall, like you got to make
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: it happen, right, So that was kind of a mentality
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: that I went into it with, and you know, I
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: started doing some real estate photography and stuff like that,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: and ended up getting hired by a luxury realtor at
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: the time who was doing like I think he was
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: selling like Derrick Henry's house, Pecorine's house, so like these
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: houses I was going to. I was just like, Wow,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: this is incredible, but also like you know, in hopes
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to make more connections and stuff like that, because everybody knows, like, dude,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: you can have all the talent in the world, man,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: but if that door isn't opened for you, or if
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: that opportunity doesn't present itself, like good luck, you know.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: But now with social media, I mean you're able to
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: put yourself out there a little bit more, so it helps.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: But yeah, man. So I was working, you know with
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: him and filming houses and stuff like that. And then
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I was standing in an apartment with my buddy Aaron
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: at the time, and he had got contacted from a
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: friend of his and he was like, Hey, there's these
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: two NFL players who are trying to start a podcast
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and they're looking for for like producers and stuff. My
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: buddy Erin was fortunate enough to like work for ESPN,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: so he kind of had a sports background and he
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: was just like but he was like, I love you, Aaron,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: but you're like a nerd and.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: He doesn't love sports.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: He doesn't love sports. So he was like, yeah, I
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: know how to work all the equipment and stuff, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: you know, I could get it all set up, but
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I could give two shits about the Titans.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you've got a guy like that now here. So
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: he's on the show, but he's not currently here.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Oh I'm pretty sure you could pick him out pretty
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: easily down there too.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: What year is this when you're like referencing all this
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: stuff doing the house real estate?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: So this is your buddy.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen. I get out of the army and,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: like I said, man just kind of hit the ground
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: running with real estate and stuff like that. And then
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: you know, my buddy Aaron is like, Hey, there's these
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: two NFL players they want to start a podcast. We're
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: gonna meet with them. Well, at the time, his buddy
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: was meeting with them. So buddy gets the gig, right
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Will It's like sure, I mean this guy sells Will
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: a fucking dream that he cannot refuse, and Will will
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: tell you that story better than I ever could, because
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I still I still hear about it, you know, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I heard about it while I was on the bus.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: You know, just sells him this dream, right, and I'm
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: coming in as just help. I'm like, hey, this is cool,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: this is an opportunity. I'm gonna I'm just gonna be there.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: To learn, right.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I wasn't even getting paid at the time. So I
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: came in and uh we signed.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Like they weren't paying anybody for the longer.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: The first year, the first employees did not get paid.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Dude. It's compared to what you all are getting now.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: They're so rich, but now, man, So I came on.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I saw it as an opportunity again, like just to
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: showcase like what I can do and in hopes to
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: you know, to continue on the journey with them. But
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, we got brought on for the summer, so
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: you know, it was it was the off season of
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the NFL and they wanted a bank as many podcasts
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: as possible. So you're you're asking about, like, you know
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: what I thought of Will? Honestly I was. I was intimidated, man,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I was intimidated. You got two NFL players. I mean,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Taylor is freaking.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Seven seven seven seven six, Bro so like in me like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I'm yeah, I'm not I'm not gifted in that in
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: that department at all. But now, man, So I really
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: didn't speak to them too much. Man. I just kind
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: of stayed quiet, you know. I spoke when I when
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I was spoken to, and just learned as much as
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I could from Aaron because I knew if an opportunity
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: had presented itself and he couldn't be there, that I
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: was gonna be ready for.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: So every morning when we got up to set up
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the bus, uh to film, I just sat there and
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey, let me set everything up today,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: and you just watched me. So that's what I did, man,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: because I had experience in like composition and the cameras
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But what I didn't know is
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: how the broadcasting world worked. And at that time everything
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: was brand new. I mean, yeah, you know, there was
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: a road road casters just had came out, like nobody
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: really knew anything about them. You know, you look at
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: that board. It's a little bit intimidating the first.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Time for sure.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: So my job was to just stay quiet and learn
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: as much as I could.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: And but yeah, no, sorry to answer your question, No,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't feel any kind of way about
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: will is just intimidated, I guess, is what.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: You At the time, thick, I was about to ask,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: did they They clearly had the bus when you started.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: But y'all were in the gravel parking lot.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So we were in a gravel parking lot
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: at the time, and we were running off of a generator.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: But that wasn't the only bit of adversity we faced either.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, one, we were we were hoping that the
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: generator always had gas or gas and stand by. And
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: then two we we were running power from like several
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: businesses that were that were on that parking lot as well.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: So there was like a hair salon place that we
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: would in a camper world that we would run power from,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: and they would get so pissed, dude, because we would
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: trip the breaker, right, they'd be doing people's hair and
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: like just trip the breaker.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Oh man.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: So like there were a few times where we had
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: to like, you know, sneak up the stairs and like
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: kind of lean over and plug stuff. Oh my gosh,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: just to try and stay quiet.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: In the train. And then the train's ripping by the train.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: That's another bit of adversity. Yeah, the train would rip by.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I mean when you when you showed up and that
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: was where you guys were recording out of for you,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: like what the hell are we getting into middle or
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it just kind of like this looks fun.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, honestly I was. I just I looked at
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: it like it like just an opportunity.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, I'm just to figure it out. Yeah.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I was like, this is kind of crazy, and like
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I feel like podcasting really wasn't where it is today
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: at that time. Yeah, so I was just like, I
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: guess this is just what they do, yeah, you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: and like the setup in there was really cool, but
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: we had to borrow cameras from like lipscumb like Aaron
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: pulled that off too, because they didn't have cameras or anything.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: All they had was like the roadcaster and like a
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: couple of mics and stuff like that. But they were like, oh, yeah,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: by the way, you guys have to have your own cameras.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Say that you know, will searched how to start podcast
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think the first couple episodes of Busting,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: we're all audio. They didn't really have a video element
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: to it. That's why, like you won't you won't see
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: a video on those first those first few episodes actually
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: just clips from it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Were you there on episode one?
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I was not there one I came in at the
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: first episode I recorded. I believe it was Jalen Ramsey
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: and that was cool. I think it was like episode.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Six right there, one of the first viral clips.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: It wasn't yeahlfriends.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: I just saw someone made a quote graphic of that,
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: like this was last week and so like that the
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: clip is still reservicing to this day, which is cool.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: That is cool, man. But like seeing him and Taylor
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: meet for the first time was so crazy because like
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: you saw the people on TV right and then you
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: have this division rival coming in to do your podcast,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and everybody's just kind of like sitting around watching how
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: they're going to interact. They couldn't You would have thought
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: they were freaking best friends, dude. Like I mean, it was.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: It was incredible, dude. And but you could see the
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: talent pretty early. The chemistry was there. I honestly never
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: thought that it wasn't. It wasn't gonna. Did I ever
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: expect it to get to this point? No, because I
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: just didn't think the trajectory of like podcasting would be
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: where it is. But to say that I knew that
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: they would be successful based off of just like talent
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: alone and being on the mic, like, it doesn't surprise
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: me at all.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So after this, who would be the next employee
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: that comes into the bust In universe?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: So the next employee that came in was No, Neely

• 13:21
  Speaker 3: We were recording in the warehouse. Never had a c

• 13:34
  Speaker 1: so not only the generator running, but an AC unit, yeah,
• 13:37

  Speaker 3: I came to Tennessee and you know, we started working
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: for Busting together, Like dude, he took me to my
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: first Titans game, and uh, it was cool man, Like Matt,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Matt was a big deal around the Titans community. He
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: would never tell you that, but like when I couldn't
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: believe it when when I went to the Titans game
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: with him, dude, I mean we couldn't make it to
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: our seats. Everybody was stopping to say hi to them.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: O G boys, dude, And I was like, Yo, you
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: downplay this shit. So I was like, He's like, you
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: know it was it was cool man. But he loved it. Man.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: He loved interacting with everybody and for him to just
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: like you bring me along the way that he did
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: and introduce me though a lot of the Titans fans
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: that I know today. Man, I I love you, dude,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: and we miss your every day dude. Seriously.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I was at a Titans game, not last season, but
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: the season before, and someone was wearing a Neely jersey
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: and I was like, man, that's so cool. I do
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: love still around and I liked him. I was like, yo,
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: the boy Neely and he was like, do you know Matt?
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: And he was like an oor guy and He's like,
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: I'm Matt's father. And it was one of those where
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: we like hugged it out and I was like, I
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: now do what he did for busting. Yeah, it was
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: a cool moment. I feel like I'm getting chills talking
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: about it now. But he really did make an impact
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: on a low market NFL team. And if you talk
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: to anyone who's been in the trenches of Tennessee Titans football,
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: you know who who knows Yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Maybe Bane. I feel like because I never knew Matt,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: but Nate Baane does such a good job of keeping him,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: like his spirit alive within.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: The tighten the fuck up.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: He does that for so many every Sunday.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Like yeah, like, yes, he one hundred percent does it
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: for Matt, but he does it for other people who
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: support the team as well. Dude, even if you're like,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I know he's supported this podcast.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, heavy, you're talking about Nate right, yeah,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: under he's incredible.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Here again another person who who just opened his arms
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: to somebody who he didn't have to and made me
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: feel like family, dude, Like Nate, you're the man, dude.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, dude.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: It is wild to think about because I don't like
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: remember the first day being around everybody, but you brought
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: up episode one hundred and that being JP's first day,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and the fact that Dave Portanoy was.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: There, brought the pizza box, brought the pizza bocket.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like all the things encompassing, like busting barstool,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and then that thought of like Dave's looking at this
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: bus and where we're recording, going, what the hell did
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I sign up for?
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's I mean, he's used to be. He's used
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: to be in a high in a high rise in
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: New York, Right, it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Was so funny.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: Well, you said it was pivotal for you, and when
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Jack and Garrett joined, was that when you were going
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: to the police.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Cau Yeah, so that you know, I wouldn't have been
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: able to do what I was doing and making that
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: pivot pivot to the police department if it wasn't for
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: you guys, man, because you guys essentially took my place
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: and I was. I was there from a distance, you know,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: just trying to help as much as I could. But
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: you guys allowed me the opportunity to even explore that
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: because I was fighting an internal battle, like, yes, I
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: was doing this cool job that most people would freaking
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: I mean killed being or do and and it is
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: a great job and it but it comes with a lot,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: you know, and that's that's a lot of the things
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: that people don't see, Like these guys are grinding. Man.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: The amount of shows that you guys are putting out
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: now gives me anxiety knowing.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: If it's it's nice to be seen.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Dude, the amount of anxiety that I would feel doing
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: all that stuff, hoping one stuff works to getting it
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: set up three the editing. I mean, dude, y'all are
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: y'all are absolutely crushing it. Man. It doesn't make me.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: It makes me so freaking proud to know you guys individually,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: but uh, y'all are the unsung heroes, dude, of this
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: entire operation. Dude, and uh, I freaking love watching you
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: guys succeed man and do what you do.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: But man, it doesn't it doesn't happen without having people
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: like bloss on a career in your story. Because I
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: can't speak for Garrett, but I feel like I can
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: in this moment when we come in, it's like he said,
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: Will and Taylor, they can be intimidating their NFL players,
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: So on top of all of the existing anxiety that
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: presents itself, you come in and just hope that there's
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: like a cool operation of guys that maybe aren't gonna
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: like be a little competitive or like, hey, you don't
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: come for my job. And Bloss for like day one
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: was always so helpful. Like it's like a guy you've known,
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: like you're just catching up from high school and he
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: never like made it about himself or other people, like
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: just always like involved us and like was there to
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: help and like mentor and train and so like our
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: success doesn't happen without you being there to.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like some of the even like the smallest
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: things on the bus that like how we operate, how
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: we start the show, how we finish it still is
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: like a in a way, like a BLOSS system is
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: all like that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: That would be a.

• 27:52
  Speaker 5: that's why it sucks so much to see somebody like
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: him to.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: A better person.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Like Man, Yeah, I feel like I always describe George
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: or somebody that understands his situation in life is so rare,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and he does such a good job of not taking
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: it for granted and like share or too seriously, like
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: he truly is having so much fun, but also understands
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: like that he's like I would imagine, like a very
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: lucky guy. Like it's just yeah, he's a good representation
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of just being a good fun dude.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: I think you put it perfectly.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: It's it's somebody who knows the position they're in is
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: going to do everything he possibly can to just touch
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: you know, any fan out there or anybody that supports
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: him or or whatever. Man, if he could just brighten
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: your day, like you could count on George to do it. Man,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: sure has absolutely no, No, he has no reason or not, like,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: it's not his obligation to do that.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: But just like you said, understand, he's just liked that.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: He's just a good dude man. And he threw me
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: a follow after that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, there's nothing better than getting followed by some
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: of the guys that come on the bus that are
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: that you're either fans of or just massive names. So
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: when you grow up watching and it's just like, yo,
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: what I actually kind of know this person now.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so George was definitely one of those people. You
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: know who else was? This is kind of crazy Sean
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Johnson Yeah really yeah, the first female I bet.
• 29:16

  Speaker 3: Her those gold medals?
• 29:24

• 29:29
  Speaker 5: I feel like for everybody around our age is etched
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: in our brain it's that gymnastics team. And then Michael
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Phelps eight or nine gold medal run. I can picture
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: all those competitions and all of his I remember where I.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Was watching Phelps. Yeah like that, like, yeah, that that
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: one will be that's legendary.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man, So seeing her in person was was crazy, Like,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I just remember setting up the bus and again this
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: was that we were at the gravel parking lot during
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: her episode Gold Medalist. Yeah, and I like walked out
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: and I in the corner outside of the bus and
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: she's like right there, all pregnant, and I was just
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: like whoa, and like she said hi to me, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I like, and I just dude, oh my gosh. I
• 30:12

  Speaker 2: Husband, right, yeah, hey nasty. I mean, oh, bro, seriously,
• 30:18

• 30:19
  Speaker 3: And then I ran I ran into her. Uh at
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Jimmy John's, Dude, that's so cool, dude. So like I
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: ran into like, I.
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: You love freaky fest ups too, right, dude.

  Speaker 3: So I uh, I was walking out of Jimmy John's
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: and the you know, I held the door open and
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: she walks out, but her kids walk out right behind her.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: She stops them and she goes, what do you say?
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: And they're like thank you sir, like blah blah blah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: And I was like, that is so cool, man.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: That's.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: You start playing the grow sounds.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: I was like, what you don't know is I know
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: your mom from way back in the day.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: So that would have been what twenty nineteen, I assume.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: So since then on Busting, I think since Sean Johnson,
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: there's been one of the three other girls too, Bunny.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, okay, okay, yeah, so since then we've had
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: four women in almost six years.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Wait for the next six years, something we won't dive into.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: But I feel like I need to say, just for
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: lore of this is Bloss after Dark.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: We don't have to get into. Yeah, I remember that
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: as a fan. That's how like, I just remember listening
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: to that as a fan.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Now that you are in Bloss's old seat. They like
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Will and Taylor used to put Boss in a blender
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: all the time.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: That is that I am the like I think Will
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: and Taylor told me, like, you are the new Blass.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Like every time it happens, and all I think about
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: is man to prospect here and I.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: Remember, yeah, I remember, let this man speak.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Remember every time you would try and like speak, you
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: would like stutter, And that's how I was in the beginning.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: And they're like, really, dude, it.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Was now that we more, it's easier, but yeah, dude,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: starting out and they're like you have something to say,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, no, not really, I.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Just want to be behind the camera just leave me.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I had.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: I had zero interest of being on the episode or
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: anything like that. But like, and then the times where
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: I felt confident speaking, they made me feel and I
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I'm really never fucking talking anything.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, how about the forty nine ers, like shut

• 32:40
  Speaker 4: being like corrupt files and stuff, and we talked about
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: it earlier with the Vermont trip. You guys have to
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: dive into that because I wasn't here.

• 36:55
  Speaker 5: sort of floating. As we go to the next spot.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Wells just kind of drops back and I just hear
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: a little bit of like splattering slash drops on the
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: sidewalk and turn around, kind of turned back, double take.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Bloss is kind of wiping his mouth. I don't see anything,

• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Walking, Yeah, yeah, no, that's exactly how it happened.

• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, I was gonna I was just gonna say you

• 43:11
  Speaker 5: Will's house on Mischief Night, and all the boys are
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: in on it. We're all hype, and I'm thinking, man,

• 43:18
  Speaker 5: who do you call when you want to take things
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: to the next level? You call Bloss called bloss Of.
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, we got to pull off this double
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: prank on the boys. This is what time will be there?
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: Do you think you can make it? In mind you
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: I did this very last minute and.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: So last minute. It was Game seven of the World Series,
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: and I'm a big Dodger fan.
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: And bloss still showed up. And dude, when he rolled up,
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, it could not have turned out better. I
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: Delainey the fence.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am within his back in Will's.
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: Backyard, jumped or jumped the fence.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: I thought went with him, though, I think, yeah, I
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: put through brother, the video you have of all of
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: us just walking down.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: The street with we parked right next to youear.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So I'm watching the whole time, and I'm like,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: I hope they don't see me. I reclined the seat back,
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: but I'm like, I got a capture investigator.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Everybody.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: He said, oh ship the cops.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Dude to feel that though, like, I'm so envious of
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: that feeling.
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: I can still feel the rush I got when Delaney
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: screamed that, and everyone just.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Kind of a nice rush.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Somehow, Will still didn't realize we were out there with
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: the lights on.
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: He just was pregnant.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Pregnant sorry due to uh dude, the way you guys
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: described it, the one like when you guys debriefed it
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: after man is just like, Man, I feel like a
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: kid again. Man, I feel like a kid. Yeah, because
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: I used to do that stuff when I was a kid.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Why we that feeling resonates with us, man, But used
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: to go ding dong ditch man, you.
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: Know, used to people's running from the cops like there's
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: just nothing better.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: So we would just do that.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: We would see we would see cops on the road
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: and me and my buddies we would be out past curfew,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: and we just start running.
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: Didn't do anything, start running just to see, just to
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: feel that rush, man, and to know that I was
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: able to give you guys that feeling a true gift.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: Dude, So cool.
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: Last like on the funny side, I don't know if
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: your goal more serious. One of my other favorite blossism
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: is just when he would post hilarious food on Twitter,
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: like what.
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: Like it'd be like gross, hot dogs up.
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: It's like it'd be like dinner tonight.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hot dog salad was the one.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: No, My my question was gonna like start leading into
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: when you left busting to go pursue what you're doing
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: now if you wanted to kind of get into that,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: because you mentioned earlier that like us coming on kind
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: of helped you see this other lane that you kind
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: of wanted to You're welcome to see.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, seriously, I appreciate it. But yeah, no, So
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: it was obviously like an internal battle that I was
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: I was fighting at the time, man, because you like
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: your gifted this opportunity, and you don't want to seem
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: unappreciative of the opportunity. But at the same time, like Will,
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Will is like such a reasonable person man, and just
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: kind of he just gets it. So when I had
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: told him, I was like, hey, man, like I'm really
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: fighting this internal battle. I had served in the military
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: for nine years and that feeling of like of service
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: hadn't left me. And like I said, it was something
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: that I was battling every day on the bus, and
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: I was just like, man, should I be doing something
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: something else? Like I was so used to just doing
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: something bigger than myself and not saying that, like, you know,
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: working for the bus didn't do anything for me internally,
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: It one hundred percent did. I was just fighting a
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: different battle internally. So I brought it up to him,
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: and I still remember I like, I was in East
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: Nashville at the time, and I pulled in the burger
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: up the parking lot and uh. I just remember calling
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: him and I was like, hey, Will, like, I really
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: think like I want to, like, I think I'm gonna
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: go to the police academy. And it kind of caught
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: him off guard and he's like what. I was like, man, Like,
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: I'm just I'm really finding this internal battle and I
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: just feel like, you know, that's where my that's where
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: my purpose is at. And he's like all right, He's like,
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: what is it What is a number that it would
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: take to keep you here? And I was like, holy crap,
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Like what a number? Like you mean like like like
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: a dollar amount And he's like, yeah, what you know,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: what number is it going to take for you know,
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: to keep you here? And I was like, I was like, well,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's a number that I could put
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: on a piece of paper that could uh that could
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: replace what I'm feeling right now. And he's like, I
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: respect that. He's like, I can't, I can't. I can't
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: put a price on purpose. And he's like, go go
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: do what you need to do. And I was like,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: I know at that moment, I felt like, you know,
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: weight was lifted off of my shoulders because like for
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: somebody like him, you know, and Taylor, like, dude, you're
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: on this trajectory path. You know, you're having success and
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: your main producer is telling you that they you know
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: that they want to leave. I don't even know how
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: they felt about it, you know, at the time. But
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: the way will handled it, I'll always I'll always be
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: grateful for because had he said something else or made
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: me feel guilty about it, it's probably something that I
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: would I would uh, I would resent him for right,
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: you know, and not pursuing you know, that career path man.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: So I mean, I appreciate the way he handled that, man,
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: And I don't think I've ever told him that publicly.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: So if he sees this, you know, hey it man,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: thank you.
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, watching will operate with you in that moment and
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: then the moment when you fully left. Yes, just says
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: everything you need to know about Will as a person,
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: and you know, he's he is a good lead and
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: like somebody that you do want.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: You said it like it.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: That is something that is so scary to go and
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: try and tell your boss in a very cool situation
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: that we're all part of that. You know, it's just
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: there's something inside that isn't getting itched and I gotta
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: see it through. And yeah, to get that responses, I'm
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: for you. I'm sure you're kind of like, all right,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: that proves even more of the point that I need
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: to go and.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: See what this other opportunity could could have for me.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for sure. And he was like, he's like, hey,
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: can you just do me one favor and can you
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: just can you just help you know, whoever replaces you.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: And at the time, you know, Zach Patton was you know,
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: coming back from school, I think he was on break
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: or whatever, and he was going to fill in, and
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: then COVID happened. Having you guys there, y'all, y'all literally
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: made the transition so so seamless for me to allow
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: and do that and get through the academy and then
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: you know, finishing at the academy and talking to Will,
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: He was like, you want to come back so sick,
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: And I was like, for real.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that. So you had left for a
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: bit and then came back for a bit.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: I left for a bit, but I was still still
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: helping and Will didn't know that. So Zach, you know, Zach,
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: Zach was you know, making phone calls. I was still
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: helping him edit it. At time, I couldn't get could
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to tell Will and he found out
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: later on, But like I couldn't get paid during that
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: time because I was working where I was at. And
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: I think that spoke a lot to Will to know that,
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: like I had still been helping, not asking for anything,
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: and yeh, you know, you know I think that, uh.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Well, there's like a weird thing I feel like with
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: this place that a lot of us sitting here can
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: agree on is being there so early and you obviously
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: before us, Like there is a weird like sense of
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: like ownership in it, and so you trying to help
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: that next wave whatever it is. Like, yeah, I mean
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: that is obviously helped us get going, and it it's
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: only helped the rest of how Buston is gone.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: So I mean, you know.
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: That mean with the Ninja Turtles and Splinter and then
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: they're grown up.
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: And like go to post that.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: Like it's kind of going off like what you said,
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: like being able to trust us to like, all right,
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: I know when he when you were training JP, I
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: trust JP, He's not going to fuck this up. And
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: then when you were training me, I trust mit, she's
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: not gonna suck this up. Like I'm sure we didn't
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: really know it at the time, but like thinking about
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: it that way, it's like it's cool that you trusted
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: us that much, and like we trusted you to like
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: teach us and everything, which is it's it's cool to
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: like think back.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: On hearing hearing that is is such a such a
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: such a reward man that like I didn't anticipate like
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: getting like emotional or whatever, but like hearing that man
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: like brings me so much joy and uh again, like
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: it just it continues to just uh, you know, to
• 51:59

• 52:42
  Speaker 3: lot of times where I'm just.

• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah you did you? I know. But you know what
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: I'm saying.

  Speaker 1: Here at the shop, you pull in behind like a
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: guest or somebody was it Lany?
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: It might have been somebody.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Boss has great pranks now that he's yeah.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. Whoever has the task of arresting that man.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Could look yeah human, it's easier.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he just used weapons. That's why you got a
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: gun belt.
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: Anytime, anytime, like if I get pulled over in Nashville,
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: I immediately am shooting bloss of text.
• 53:26
  Speaker 7: I'm like Hey, is there any way I'm getting out
• 53:27
  Speaker 7: of this.
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: Tickele And he's like and he's like, dude, this is
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: not my side. It's like I swear I would I
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: would do it. And then I like, I hit up
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: Bloss for every petty crime that happens in my life.
• 53:37
  Speaker 6: When my headphones got stolen to Second Vegas the second
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: time in Nashville. They have been Clarksville, and he's like, bro,
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: I'll come pick you up right now.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: We'll go.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: I'm just gonna let you know. It's at an apartment complex,
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: so if you're prepared to go knock on every door,
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: I'll come pick you up. And I'm like, no, I'm
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: not doing that, but I do appreciate you being ready.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I know, because I like, dude, if it pops
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: up on my feet, I'm like and it's like, I'm.
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: Pretty sure hit me up like oh yeah on Twitter
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: and he's like, bro, are we rolling?
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: Like I said, man, any anytime I get a chance
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: to help, you.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: Know, yeah, don't mess with us here at the bus, dude.
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: So I like when you left Busting Forward the last time,
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: like when it was final. Obviously there's some anxiety that
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: goes into that and I think it's cool because I mean,
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: you already had another full time job as well. But
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of people out there that listen. I
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: feel like, especially our core demographic that probably listens to this,
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: who always think about a career change, or even if
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: you love your job but you feel called to something different,
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: what is just like some advice. I know you have
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: the the no price on purpose, but like when you
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: were officially making the jump, like were you anxious? Were
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: you a little bit scared? And what kind of put
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: those things at ease?
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: No, And I appreciate you asking that question because I
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: think this is this is really important for a lot
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: of people to hear. So this wasn't the first time
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: I made a transition, right, Like I'd got out of
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: the army after giving nine years, you know, of service.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: So there's a part of you, there's a part of
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: that situation that prepared me for leaving for busting right,
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: And I watch it happen so many times with like
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: younger soldiers, older soldiers, and even soldiers out there today,
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: you know, committing suicide. You know, there's twenty two soldiers
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: that commit suicide each and every day, and that stuff's
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: not forgotten. But I feel like a lot of those
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of those suicides probably come from people who
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: place their identity into something so much that you forget
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: who you are at the core, and the moment that
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: that's stripped away from you, you find out who you are.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: So anybody that's out there who's making a transition, whether
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: it's on your terms or whether it's on their terms,
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: because it can happen to anybody, don't place your identity
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: into something so much that it handicaps you. And that
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: goes that would I fault? I took that and I
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: came to busting with that because this brand is so
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: big now and it's, like you said, you take ownership
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: and a lot of the things that you do here
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: right because you helped it grow. But if I would
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: have held onto that and made it my identity so
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: much that it handicapped me, I wouldn't have been able
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: to make that transition. So if you're out there, you're
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: a police officer, you're a soldier, you're a part of
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: a brand that you're proud of, Like, don't put your
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: identity in it man so much that it handicaps you.
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: You know, be who you are, Be proud of who
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: you are at the core and what you bring to
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: the table as an individual. Don't let that brand define you,
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: let your last name, let the name on your back
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: define you.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, hell yeah.
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: That was awesome, man, And it's like one of my
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: favorite you know, Simon Sinek, he has this thing where
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: he's it's like the the theme of it is All
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: You'll Ever Deserve is a styrofoam cup, and he talks
• 57:03
  Speaker 5: about how one year he was invited to speak at
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: this conference. And when he was invited to speak at
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: this conference, his plane ticket was paid for, he was
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: in first class, he had a driver at the hotel,
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: he had coffee waiting for him and everything. And then
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: the following year he wasn't a speaker, he still wanted
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: to go to the conference. He paid for his plane ticket,
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: he booked his own hotel, and he had to pick
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: up his own coffee. And his whole thing was people
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: are respecting you, not for like the person that you are,
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: but for the position you're in. And so always keep
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: that in mind when like, you know, don't confuse your
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: position with your person like with your personality with your absity.
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: And it's because that was a perfect way to explain
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: it on your end. So that was awesome. That was
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: a great explanation.
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it, man, And like I said, Man, it
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: just made the transition easier.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: Was it bittersweet? Absolutely, you know when when Will and
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: I sat down, and it's crazy that there was a
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: fan there they he captured that much.
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: Because I could remember fel was one of the people
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: from the squad or feels.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: A random was like I remember tweeting, you know, just
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: kind of like that I was leaving the podcast and
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: somebody posted under that and saying like I think this
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: is the moment where and I was like, I'm not
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: going to acknowledge that, but yeah, that.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: Is but it was.
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: It was crazy, man. And I still remember the conversation.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: Bill was so great about it, man, and he was
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: just like, you know, just asking me, like, are we
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: ever going to get you full time? You know, one
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: last effort, you know, but it's like, you know, you
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: get to you get to leave, you know, with your
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: head held high and proud of you know, the work
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: that you did and where the brand was at man.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: And it's it's something that I carry with me and
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: I'm proud of and I'll display all over my new office.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: You know, the accolades and the you know, the plaque
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: that he gave us, you know, the silver play button,
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: all that stuff, you know, will be hanging on my
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: walls and proud and continuing to root this brand on
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: absolute leaving on your.
• 59:07
  Speaker 6: Own terms is powerful stuff.
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.
• 59:10
  Speaker 4: It's like one of the things here, Like I mean,
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: it's always an open door, right you can literally just
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: show up when you want, and it's.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: Like, that's the coolest thing.
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: It's like nobody has ever nobody, nobody has ever made
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: me feel unwanted here. You know, Will Taylor always embraced
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: me like I'm family. You know, you guys the same thing.
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just cool, man. It's always nice to
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: come back. I try to stay away because, like I said,
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: you don't want to be that guy hanging around. But
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: it also just makes seeing you guys that much more special.
• 59:40
  Speaker 7: Right, absolutely, I think of anything you don't come around enough.
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: And dude, rind and dude, I know what it's like
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: for people to come in and just throw you off
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: your rhythm and your flow, especially with everything that you
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: guys have.
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: Day like football season is different.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: But I mean Thursday streams if y'all want the boy
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: to ever pop in because those look like a lot
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: of fun. Dude watch yeah, dude, So because I was
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: to see him today.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: You just miss Delaney too.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: Oh he always Clay always bounces right away whenever we're done.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: Really Yeah, because he went to a Goora high school
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: and I went to real Mesa, so we're like rival school. Yeah,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: I just missed Clay. But I believe I played against
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: his brother Casey uh when he was an Oaks Christian
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: That's so crazy and is so small.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: So small man. But I just remember hearing all about
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: Clay Matthews like in high school. Yeah, so it's cool.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: I was hoping to say, what's up.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: And we got you gotta come those worlds together. But yeah,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: if you can somehow sneak by before NFL season's over,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 5: meet each other.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: So is he living here full time?
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah? And so yeah, he's full time with the NFL
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: locker room. So obviously there's only like two weeks.

  Speaker 3: But even Delaney too as a as a forty nine
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: er fan, like delay, you're forty You're not tight, don't
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: do this man that man, Yeah, we were man, because

  Speaker 3: we had Vernon Davis. But like Niner fans still remember
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: how alive he did come up, Like, yeah, his talents
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: were were unleashed and unlocked when he came to Nashville,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: but like you bet you're ass he wasn't. He was
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: still balling on the Niners behind the scenes and under
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: the radar out there. But we had got on the
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: times for seeing that.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 6: We had Delaney on a couple of months ago and
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 6: he like fully walked us through like his first years
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 6: in the league and I don't think I really like
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 6: sat down and like actively listened to every detail and
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: it's such a just awesome story.
• 1:01:37

• 1:01:44
  Speaker 6: similar like to George Kittle to where it's like he
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 6: has every he's and especially like where he grew up
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 6: and like the circumstances and him making it out of that.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: He's just one of the nicest, most respectable guys, funniest dudes.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: And he talked about in that episode just being like
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: I know that I had like I had talent, but
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: people helped me get here and I am not taking
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: that for granted.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: But he definitely gets it too.

• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: like so nice and just hey, man, I got an
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: extra ticket. He's a season ticket holder, so he'd always

• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: with me. The three of us are there, and uh,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey, Jelly just told me to come

• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: share it with as many people as we possibly can
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: and right and bring them in, you know, inappropriate times. Man,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: So to be able to do that for him, and
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: then for Jelly just to like just just remember somebody
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: on the bus and invite me up there. His old
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: family's up there and everything like that. Again, doesn't have
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: doesn't need to do that. Just such a kind soul man.

• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: the internet, right, and like it's okay you can say fat,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of like it's funny. Yeah, but we
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: so Zach hit me up actually after I had left Busting,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: and uh, I was just like, dude, I just left
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: like one of the biggest podcasts. Dude, Like I don't
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: I don't want to do this, Like I left probably
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: the biggest platform. Like I'm not gonna help you start
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: a podcast. But he just like blugged me for like
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: months and months and months, and I'm like, what exactly
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: are you trying to do. He's like, man, it's gonna
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: be one month, bi weekly. You record whenever you want,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: get the episode done whenever you want, like on your terms.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: Everything's on your terms. And I'm like, all I find dude, Oh,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: we'll help you. So we started this podcast called the
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: After Action Podcast where he would just have like a
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: lot of it was like military centric, just bringing in
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: veterans telling their story all that stuff. It goes really
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: well well. He has the fat electrician on there, and
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: they hit it off really well. We ended up recording
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: like three episodes like for three hours and ended up
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: staying in the studio for like five hours. Dude, Like
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: that's how that's how good they hit it off. So
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: fast forward. You know, a couple of months, we stopped
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: doing the the after Action podcasts just because of studio
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: space issues and stuff like that, and we decide to
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: show fit for the moment. Well, at the time Nick
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: and Zach get together, they come up with this idea
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: to start their own their own podcast. They approached me
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: at one of the range days that we had and
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: they're just like, hey, we want to start a podcast.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: I'm right. I'm like, I'll never get out of this
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: world further I try to pull myself, the more fucking
