  Speaker 2: within that a year, so yeah, excited to be here,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: National champion.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: How do you before we really get to do it,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: do you think that was a fraudulent national championship?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I was about to say, I was about to say
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of haters in this building.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: The craziest part is, like, think about it, we had
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to go on the road. Depends without Harbaugh. You want
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: to talk about overcoming adversity.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: But did y'all have Biff Pogi at that time? Or
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: was he?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: It was it was Sharon.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We'll get We'll get to him too, so don't worry.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Also, before we get too far into
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: this legendary of forty seven jerseys, you guys know we
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: always try and shout out some honorable athletes who rep
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the number of the episodes correlated with forty seven was
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a tough one.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Forty seven is tough. We had to do some research.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I had to do some research. We landed on John
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Lynch Tampa Bay buccaneer at forty seven.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Chris Cooley Redskins legend, and that might have been really
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: it bear Bachmeyer, I would call it the legend, but we're
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: kind of bottom of the barrel. Verst of forty seven's.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Clay Matthews.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Clay Matthews in college was forty seven Southern cal but
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: we gotta let the other one introduced.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, go ahead, try nice straight.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Pierce.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: I played the tackle Newiversity of Michigan from Chicago, Illinois.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Happy to be thank you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Where'd you say you were from? Zach san Diego, Oh,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: san Diego. I love me and JP love San Diego.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think we're in some like quiet
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: minority groups saying we love San Diego.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I like it too.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: It's one one of the best players ever. But we've
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: both recently been there, not so long ago. Great food,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: great atmosphere. But I think what I want to ask
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: right off the bat, because we got an offense and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a defensive guy, what's the superior side?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Of the line has to be offense. I mean, we
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: know what's going on like that, I will say their
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: reaction has to be better than ours. But the fact
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that like we we get to just go out there,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: play full speed and get after it, like offense has
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to be better, all.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Right, Trey, If you have any grit, any love for contact,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: any violence in your heart, if you if you are
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: basically if you're a dog, you play defense. That's just
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: the fact. I think everybody knows that. I think everybody
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: kind of you watch the game, You're like, oh, yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: you kind of have to be a nut job to
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: do that. Like you gotta be, like you gotta have
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: some shit to you to do that one. So, I
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: mean offense, they make place, they may score touchdowns. But
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: if you got you got any any violence in you,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: any any need for contact, you need to play defense.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: You gotta like I don't even understand, like how this
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: is a question.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You have any need to win? You can always win
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: on offense.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: You can winch championship.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I was gonna follow up with that, you really win
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a single game by scoring more points than the other team.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: There's definitely been games out there where there's only been
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: defensive points scored. I obviously could probably Iowa. Yeah, maybe maybe.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: That's how I didn't they score more points.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: That's like I would Nebraska every year.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They were like yeah, I think like the points were
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: scored by the defense. Like two years ago, remember that
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: OC was like the kid of the head coach.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one time they one time they bet the FCS
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: team like ten to seven, and they had like two
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: field goals and like two safeties, like they crazy. They
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: didn't score a touchdown. They had ten points and that's
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: ten points. That's ten points score anyway.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you gotta love it. You gotta love just
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the the team camaraderie completely mixed with like fuck you,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: motherfucker were better than you in practice, We're gonna motherfuck you.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I like that stuff. Tell me a little bit about
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Kyle Whittingham. You guys have spent some time with him now,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I've heard some rumors that back in the day and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: still now, he could throw up some weight and he's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a physical guy. Just give me like first impression you
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: guys have had with coach Whittingham.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: First impressions, He's an intense guy, focused guy, and like
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: he's more like he's more Jack than you think, like,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you know, like like not to be no pause, he's
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: pretty he's he's a rocked up got pause. He's a
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: solid guy. Like he's pretty solid guy.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean if you look back in the day
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: he does anyone remember what number he wore or Wittingham?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Can somebody can you peep that? Can somebody check if
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he was forty that might be historic because he I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: think he might have been forty seven and wore a
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: cowboy like a full neck roll.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I mean that's he looks like he's a great dude linebacker.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, what's it feel like h playing under
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a coach who's defensive minded as an offensive guy? Is
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: there like, is there any kind of like where he
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: seems like he favors a defense a little more or
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: is it more like the ocs like you guys are more.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: N It's really funny. Forty four Okay, they still a
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: good number though, great number four fourths, shout out Max Pretison, Cap,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: that's Cap. But you were saying defensive minded. I mean
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you get to the end of the practice with an
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: offensive minded coach, and if the defense has a really
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: good day and the offense has a decent day, dude,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: he is mfing you, like going at you. Meanwhile, a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: defensive minded coach is like, wow, that was a really
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: competitive game, like a really competitive day. Like I feel
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: like offensive minded coaches really care about, like the offense
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: scoring points and say you like only score once or twice,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: they will get on you crazy, worst practice we've ever had. Meanwhile,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: like a defensive coach is like, yeah, great, great stops
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: by everyone.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: H a little back and forth.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, yeah, like, like I said, the offense, the defense
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: does terrible. It's like, man, that was a great practice,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Like everything was firing on all cylinders, and then the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: defensive coordinator pulls them the side and it's like, oh, man,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that sucked.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I will say this though with like as a defensive guy,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: when the offense is having a bad practice, it it
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: practice does feel like it sucks, Like it feels like
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: we're we're in the same side of the field the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: whole practice. It's like, oh, like I would say that
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: the impact feels worse when the offense is worse. When
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: the defense is worse. It's like, oh, we're firing right, like.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Our offense is cooking. Man, we're gonna points. The defense
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: is gonna do their job, but we're gonna put up
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: points like that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but then the offense is going not going good.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: It's like it's like, yeah, it doesn't look like it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: muddy football.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: So what's the message after the spring game when there's
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: point when it's a very low scoring game.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: You know, I mean, hey, yellow team may seem one.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: That's all I gotta say.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: No crazy stat about spring games. I'm oh for four,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: damn four four spring games. Oh for four blue team,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Blue team, mased team, blue team. Hopefully that's that's a plan.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: But like three for three spring games, never lost undefeated.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: H JP wants to know if y'all were both recruited
• 7:28

  Speaker 2: My buddy?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: His name is Austin Winfrey. He was on the strength

  Speaker 1: but there I cannot remember.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: That's when I showed up.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it might have been right at the end. But
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: he would always tell me hilarious Harball stories about him
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: showing up, you know, five am, and he's working out
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in his khakis and cam felt on, and he said,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if he was just trying to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: pull one on me, but I believe Hi when he
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: says it that after workout one day, he got in
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the cold tubs, full khakis, full polo on, and then
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: gets out and then like proceeds to go through his day,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, there's there, Like there's no way. The
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: feeling of wet pants on is one thing I know.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I know Harbball can be a psycho. I'm sure, like
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a good psycho, but I don't think anyone's psychotic enough
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to do that. But maybe he is that guy. I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: don't know if y'll have any of those. How long
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: was Harball with you guys? And until he was gone

  Speaker 3: a coach for going to the NFL, Like come on,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: like that's what that's what we're especially when he got
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: like so close to his Super Bowl when he was there,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Like he was good in the NFL before he was
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: at Michigan.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Also, just the quality of life in the NFL versus
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: college as a coach, like being able to actually have time.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, probably even more so, Like nowadays it's more money
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: for less work.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: It's more money for less work. They don't have to
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: do the recruiting. Like think about that. The coaches aren't
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: selling you on the recruiting.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: He he doesn't have to deal with nil anymore either,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Well he got out of.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's called a collective bargaining agreement, so you know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: gets paid exactly what they are are told.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Like the GM NFL is way better as a coach,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Like you can go to the NFL, Like come on,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: it's like displayer. If you can go to an NFL,
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: you go to the NFL.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: So I mean, yeah, I feel like you can't follow
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: him for that how long? I forget the timeline? So, like,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I guess you all technically had like I know you
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: hired within, but you had a like a coaching search
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: for a little bit, Like did they like update y'all
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: about like because like y'all are kind of like suspended
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: and like kind of in flux. So like what did
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: y'all know about like your next head coach after that?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Which one after Jim or after after Jim after Jim.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I mean we kind of we were pretty clued in.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: They were like, we're going to make sure that we
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: check everything right. The athletic director came in here, like,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: we're gonna try to make sure we check all you
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: know what it's it, cross all your teeth, dot all
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: your eyes, like make sure that everything was ready. But
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: we knew it was going to coach more.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: So yeah, they I think at that point they were
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: like really focused on like keeping the roster together. We're
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: like a lot of guys from the nat of year
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: who had another year left, like like all that that
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: whole twenty two class got drafted first, second, third round,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: so I mean they were really just going to keep
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: a lot of guys there. So they were like, I mean,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: they made the pick this round, so yeah, they're just
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: trying to keep us out all there.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I feel like if you're like a Mason Graham or
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: like Kenneth Grant or cold, like if you're like going
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: in the first round and you just want to Natty
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: like why would you leave, Like did you have one
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: more year? Like go play, like why would you leave
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: money money? But like but like I don't know how
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: much they were making. Actually I was gonna say they probably.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: They had to retain people, you know what I mean retained.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: And the craziest part is like that was I mean,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I guess after that was like the first year of
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: like people really getting good contracts or even kind of
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: starting the contract thing. I mean, if you could have
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: been a freshman in twenty twenty four, that would have
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: been the best time, like to be a freshman. I mean,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: those guys are still righting the coat tails of just
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: getting paid. Crazy. Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: Well yeah, like, welcome to college football, you guys.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if if y'all couldn't hear JP he said, he's
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: asking what they're welcome to college football moment?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Is I have a good one?
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Do you have a good one? I don't have a
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: good one, but you can mine.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Mine's in a practice which Tray was giving the movie Tray. Yeah. No,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Trey actually showed up on the first day and just
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: started little like little boying everyone. So you know he was.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: He was three hundred and fifteen pounds, just yoked and
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: running straight through all of our senior guard's faces. No,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. But for me, it was in a
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: We had this drill called beat Ohio and this linebacker
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: that ut pays plays at Georgia State. His name's Jayden Hood.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: You remember j Hood Hood, and he would take the
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: soul out of people like puss pause, but he would
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: just hit you so hard. There's no poth yeah, no pause.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Jaden Hood hits so incredibly hard and always leads with
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the crown of his helmet like just that guy half
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the time, ninety percent of the time isn't gonna make
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the play, but he's gonna hurt the person that he hits.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: It's great, it's fantastic. And we I had a I
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: basically had like insert inside zone on him. And I
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: was seventeen years old, two hundred and eight pounds on
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: my third day, Cali boy man bun and everything. Dude,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: we don't have to bring that back.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: But I'm a reference pick bro.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I answered through that hole and I'm standing just like
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: this as Jaden Hood just runs flat through my face.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: My helmet ends up tripping up our running back like
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: it it's the worst play ever. Like, I'm not giving
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you all the film for that. I think I tried
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: to delete it from the exos you know database. It's
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: somewhere someone has that film and they're probably gonna bring
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: it up in like my NFL. You know they have everything.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: They have everything, dude.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they know everything. Honestly, my welcome to college for
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: the moment was like, honestly, I didn't get like crazy.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I probably like against Iowa Big Ten, I was like
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: on punt return and I was like trying to break
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: the shield up. I'm running, so I'm running as hard
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: as I can. It's a shield. Some like savvy like
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: guy on the shield. He just like gets me right
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: here under my helmet, gets me my like like jaw.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: He like fractured my jaw. Yeah, I didn't. I couldn't
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: eat normally for it was like it wasn't too bad.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: I don't have I didn't eat surgery or anything.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Mouth jaw break seems like one of the worst injuries
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: eating from.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: A tube that that Kanye wire jaw just using.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: A blender tube. All right. On the opposite of that question,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: what was the moment where you were like all right,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I'm here to stay like I'm I'm making plays like
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: where you were like you're screaming up at the Big
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: House like this is my fucking city. Like y'all got
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: a moment like that. It doesn't have to be at
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the Big House. But you know what I'm saying, yelling
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: back to Michigan.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: You know it's bad because we lost this game, and uh,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: I didn't do I didn't I had a good game.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: I didn't play that much of my sophomore year. Uh
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: you know they that sophomore year, you know, we ha
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: KG and Mason Graham like so we're I wasn't playing
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: like a bunch. But we played Oregon at the Big House.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: They put me in for like four plays and I
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: made like two tackles tackle for loss and that I
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: was like, all right, yeah, I can play this game.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Like they had the starter stealing, so I was like,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: all right, I could play here.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: And going off the sideline to everyone's smacking your help.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah a feeling.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: And I had like messed up earlier in the game.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: I had like messed up bad like if you watch
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: the game, you know, like I had a penalty that
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: was pretty bad. And then like so I went back
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: in there and I made those plays. I was like,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: all right, all right, I feel a little bit better.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: But I kind of have two. One on like special
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: teams where I was like, Okay, I can actually like
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: participate in this, and then one in like actual game.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: The obvious one is against Washington, right like first like
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: real start, first play the game. I'm in second place,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like the whole entire game
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I was. I was, I was the one, and then
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: going for five seventy two on a todd like winning
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: that game because it was kind of an important game,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: like a lot of part exactly, a lot of people
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: were like you lose, we lose that game. It's like
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: it's the rails are off there, Like wasn't gonna I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: wasn't gonna let that happen, especially with that being like
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: my first real start, So that was very important, like
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: a real moment of like yeah I can. That was
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: when I went from being like I could be a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: contributor to being the guy versus first play of the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: twenty would that be twenty five season or twenty four
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: to twenty five season play Fresno State? Yeah, the opening
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: kick return, I just sprint. I'm I was one of
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the shield guys last year, like full wed shield run
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: through it like back up to the ten yard line
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: is just sprint at some crazy linebacker at the five
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: position and I got a pancake on the opening kickoff
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: and I was like, all right, I can do this.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: That was That was kind of my moment. Washington. Washington
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: was home this year. Last year was away and we
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: lost that game. I don't want to talk about it.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Shot out Jack Tittle.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Dude, it wasn't that loud.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: It's beautiful though. The drive up we're driving on like
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: the bridge and we see like the boats in the water.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: I'm like, wow, this place is. I can move to
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Seattle like that was. It's beautiful.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: That city seem sick that Actually I wanted to ask
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: besides the Big House, this might be a two parter. Well,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: the first one is like favorite stadium you played at
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: it's not Michigan. And then the other one is besides
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: the Michigan State and Ohio State, who do you all
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: hate the most in the Big Ten Conference?
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: Rival talk?
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Stadium wise, like Washington's fire like Washington, that's that's the
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: best stadium that I've seen. I think because I haven't
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: been to like I've been to Heavy Valley that the
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: stadium is like it's allowed, but it's.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: So ugly, like it's so ugly of concrete.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: And then yeah, but like Washington, that stadium is beautiful, man,
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: like Seattle's beautiful city.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Like the second part is going to get you all
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: in trouble, bolton Board materially, you don't have to answer it.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Rivalry, Well, I'll landswer to the stadium because I'll give
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: you more time to think about who who we can
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: ruffle feathers Worth because I already went onto the podcast
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: and said Michigan State sucks. So I know, I mean
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: like I was a little fired up. I went a
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: little aggressive.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I was just happy to be here, guys. But I'm
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: not back Michigan, but like, yeah, I was, I was
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: fired up. Now, as far as stadium, Washington's most pretty,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: but like as far as coolest vibe, just kind of
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: being there, it might be like Nebraska Illinois.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Nebraska by three touchdowns. Yeah, I mean, all the juice
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: is out of that place almost.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: They were in the balloons were cool.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Is one of the coolest things in college football, like
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that whole I've also heard that Iowa was really cool.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: You went to Iowa?
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Right, Oh no, we never haven't four years we have
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: even been at Oregon.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: We go to Oregon this year we go to Austen.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Will be fun. And then as far as like people
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: that we just like, I guess I'd have to put
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: it at like someone that I thought was going to
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: offer me and then it so like it's more like personal. Yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: would be either SC or U c l A. Like
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: both of them they're supposed to like offer me, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: then like neither of them offered me in their backyard
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: in my back home state, and I was like super excited,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: super pumped to talk to both of them.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: And then who would you rather go on to becides
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: U c l A or UC of those two.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have really came down to a lot
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: of factors, like how much flight time I would.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Get, how much money they're getting.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bread never hurts. Huh.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Now that's fair. I like that because I feel like
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: you're not giving too much bulletin bull like that that everybody.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Has, that everybody has.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: That that's like a good one to if you want
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: to represent your state, you're I guess it's not my city,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: but it was my parents' city, you know what I mean?
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Like La La is important to me. That's where my
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: family's from. Yeah, but now I'm out here in ann
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Arbor and I have zero regrets.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Zero outside the football culture and in Arbor. What's y'all
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: favorite aspect of that town?
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: The restaurants. But I've been me, and I like me,
• 25:10

  Speaker 1: Like college football programs. The parking lots just gotta be
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars.

  Speaker 2: Like, those are the two things. You got, your your
• 27:58

  Speaker 3: You could be talking about.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: That's fair.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: That's fair my guess.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Honestly, that would have been my guess to chef.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Really, I feel like this got Derek written all over it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Honestly.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a Derek side quest.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: That is all right? So you did say kind of backtracking, U,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: C l A or USC would have been an awesome
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: school if you got offered. What is one school in
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the nation that if you if you're not giving any

  Speaker 2: Line cheap shot in people.

  Speaker 1: World No In I own money. I just person you
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: can say coach.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be my old tight ends coach Steve
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Casula wherever he ends up, Like I would love to
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: play with him if it's the NFL college like that amazing.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: He's an amazing person. Whether I can coach side by
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: side with him, Like he's one of those people like
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I would follow the store for Like love that guy.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: He's made me who I am today.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: I love it Texas right now, that's not a bad
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: place for say or.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: In I own money.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, NFL, that's pretty good school.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: I was just factored in, like uh in Io like city,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: like they're good at football right now, Like I got
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: I got one of my boys down there. Like I
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: would say Miami, Like Miami seems kind of fun.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: He's got to visit Miami And if if I was
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: lucky to even play college football at y'all's level, Miami
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: would be an awesome place to go the workouts in
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the summer. You gotta earn in your spot in Miami.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: But man, that is one program they got building back
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: up to uh a historic level. Marrow christ Ball too
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: is just an absolute dogs like him and maybe have
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: some similarity crossovers in the vinn diagram. But yeah, Miami
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: is a good answer. And so it's Texas.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: So what what NFL team do you.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: All feel like?
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: For you defense most fun defense part of offense?
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Do you think that audience?
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Do you have an answer go for I'm d lineman
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: right now, But the Texans are crazy. They have fun
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: over there, like yeah, Will Anderson, Man, they just got
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: they got some guys down there, a good team.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: That's a great wow, and the guys are awesome.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they just drafted Kim McDonald from Ohio State. They're
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: gonna be Yeah. I mean, bro, they're gonna be good.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: They seemed fun to like that defense seems fun to
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: play in general.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you got about to have him on
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: on busting here pretty soon. But the Sean McVay offense,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: the way they use their tight ends, like the way
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: they used hybrid receiver tight ends, like all of it. Right,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I could go in line, I could line up, go crack,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: crack block, do all of it. So being an offense
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: similar to that, I'm not saying rams you have to drive,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: but I would love it. I'd love it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: He just wants against the Cardinals.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two free wins against Cards. I want to beat
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: the Niners every single every single year. That'd be great.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Dude.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: George Skittle is still my favorite favorite player period, like
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: favorite player in the NFL. It's it's George Kittle, friend
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: of our show.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: He's been on George, which I assume George Kittle listens
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: every week. But he still owes us a game more jersey.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: That he said, and he actually went to the extent
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: to he d m me on Twitter and was like, hey, uh,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: send me the address for this jersey and I sent
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: it to him. He's a busy guy, you know.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: He and he know he lost in transit, lost in transit.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: They could have been And that's why I'm I'm hoping
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: because we consider Georgia close friend of ours. We ran
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: into him at the Super Bowl. He's always been great
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to us, a kind man. So we're we're not at
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the point where it's gun to the head, but we
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: are loading the gun. So, okay, outside of football, if
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: you guys weren't playing, what what would life be like
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: for y'all? Like, what do you want to do if
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: if you guys weren't like trending for the NFL?
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: You'd also add like what are you doing in school?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that too.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah for me student first, I was always going to
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: play like college sports of some sort, whether it was
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: gonna be rugby or football. So I guess I would
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: probably be doing rugby at like an ivy or something
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: like that. But as far as just academically, if football
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: were taken away from me now, I would still go
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: into like football operations stuff. On the business side of it,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: whether it's agency, whether that's starting and recruiting and working
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: my way up to being either like a GM or
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: something of that nature, would be like kind of my
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: dream dream situation. And I want to help like put
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: together like a union for a Double A players like
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: things like that. That's that's what I'm really really into,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: like building that like business community around myself.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Yeah, that's a great question. I mean major
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: in communications right now, so I think maybe something to
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: do with that, like, but man, that's a that's a
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: great question, hopefully. I mean, I think I'd still be
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: playing a sport. I'll probably be playing baseball.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: But you're going to the league, bro, don't even worry
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: about it. I mean, you're going to the league's.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: En We asked questions.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: Came.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that the like summer interns.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the non sport athletes.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think that. I don't think the Michigan interns
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: last year came out here. I don't even think we
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: had started.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: No, we I don't think we had that. We started
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: like a month after right before Grinders. Yeah, I can't
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: remember really all those questions we asked the guys who
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: most of them now currently work here. We're pretty much
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: like gotcha journalism questions.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I mean we could ask like what, like, what's I
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: mean it's only Wednesday.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, let me give you guys a little compliment,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: like not to dig on Nico and what's the other
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: news name. Not to dig on those guys. And they
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: did an awesome job. We had a great time, you
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: guys being like very prominent, you know, Michigan football players.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: It's cool to see you guys jumping to learn things
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: and seeing me all at desks the last couple of
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: days and like really trying to evolve yourselves in the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: work process because like at the end of the day,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: y'all necessarily wouldn't have to the same reason we just
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: asked that question. You're like, man, I'm going to the league.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: You didn't say that. We said that, you know, and
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: we believe that. But it's cool to see you guys
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: jump in the mix and like really be eager to learn.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: And I know everyone here appreciates that. So again, kudos y'all.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: And it's already been dope and we're only halfway through
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the week. But I feel like, what's y'all's first thoughts
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: on this work, because it's been an interesting week no
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: matter what we have, it's been a weird week in
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: general for what's going on.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: And you can also add like favorite parts so far,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: even though, like we said, it's Wednesday, we got half
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: the week to go.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: The fact that we just called a team meeting and
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: sent Matt alone to the other side of the fricking country. Dude,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: we just sent him to go get a car. Now
• 37:33

  Speaker 2: going to your brother. That's a crazy take. Crazy, that's
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: not unheard of, not at all.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's it's been great having him there,
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: like shout, shoutout, Chris. We don't they put the freshmen
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: in or like in the transfers, they put them in
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: a nice ass apartments. Yeah, but it's expensive, so I'm
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: not living out there. I'm not living on campus.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Pretty yeah, pretty on the dot. We do need to
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: get tapped into this live stream for mad. Do we
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: have any other questions before we kind of start wrapping
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: things up.
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not the question guy.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: I got a question for you guys.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: If you weren't working for Busting, what would you be
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: doing right now?
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Probably playing the league? You know? I JP? Do you
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: want to like you here?
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I walk this one well, I mean JP, I think
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: JP has got the most followers of all of us, so.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: JP on Twitter?
• 42:40
  Speaker 7: Does I think if I was completely removed from Busting
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: and like doing work with brands and everything, I'd probably
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: be a teacher. I love working with kids or like
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: maybe a like a camp direct, like a summer camp director,
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: and like, yeah, I just I get so much joy
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: out of working with kids trying to help, you know,
• 43:03
  Speaker 7: like mold them into good, good people going forward, and
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: or I would love to do my own podcast on
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: the side, which I would love for it to blow up.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's that's probably be my answer.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, JP be an all star teacher, and if you've
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: known JP for five minutes, you know immediately he would
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: fit that mold so quickly.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: But what subject, that's the real question.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: I know, probably like a like a college course on entrepreneurs.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Oh so like an entrepreneurship class. Yeah, that's that's actually far.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: That's actually far.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: I think, do you want to go? You want to go?
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: You know what yours is?
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: I would say, like probably if I wasn't a bust
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: and I would be doing graphic design. My goal, like
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: when I started out design was to be like a
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: pro baseball football team or like a high level like
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: college like basketball football, uh like in their creative team
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: whatever like that. But I would say if I wasn't
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: doing graphics like period, I'd probably still be like in
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: the family business doing like mortgage loans back in Texas,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: and I do love Texas. It was hard to leave Texas,
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: so I would definitely still be back home like DFW
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: because like sometimes I get fomo. I know my my family,
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: like my brother and dad probably get fomo for something
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: I'm doing. But sometimes they're like they're going golfing today.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: I'm like, uh, like I'm not. I'm not back there.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: I can't hang with them, so I'd probably be back
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: home doing the doing the family stuff.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: That's real. I like a realistic option. My dad I
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: did like door to door sales and a couple different
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: sales jobs. Like realistically, probably like a sales job. I
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: know I'd be good at it and make good money.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily love it, but an unrealistic one that
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: I could, I would. My soul would be rich, but
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: my pockets would be broke. Would be like ocean photography.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: My brother lives out in Hawaii, and there was a
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: moment before I started working here where I wanted to
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: go and move out there and like basically film all
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: kinds of like action sports stuff on water and mainly
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: surfing stuff because I love swimming and I'm not a
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: good surfer, but I am a good swimmer. So being
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: able to just like be on the water and capture
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: that and just kind of probably build like a following
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: around that because there's not like you don't just like
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: apply to be like an ocean photographer. It's not like
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: jobs jumping out. But I guess yeah, that'd be my
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: like to kind of what if, you know, a realistic one.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: And then somewhere where I'm out at the beach just
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: hanging out, putting on too much sunscreen. So yeah, I
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: think that's where we're at. That's for the league, so
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: or the league.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go to the league.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: It early me too early early, he said.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: JP said he chose not to cho Yeah, it was
