00:05:14
Speaker 5: Year, the audience. We got everything dialed. Wilson's that a little text text the group chat. Take care of your your wife, your kids, your family. Like this is These are Titanic rules. You got to take care of your your own house first. We've kind of dialed dialed it into an extent because we all have internet. Will's just without one more item than we are. Monday happens and was like eight am, you call me or text me eight am. Will it hits me with the text, Hey, man, I'm not gonna be able to make it this hill I got it's an uphill, it's a this is this is a this is a hill. Now, I'm not gonna be able to make it out. No time out.

00:05:52
Speaker 4: Here's here's where I need the time out is. I said, go ahead and leave me because I don't. I didn't want to be going too long because there's there's there's just there's chaos going on. The text the night before was you you were down to handle the podcast, but I was basically letting everybody know, hey, if the shop is shut down in your brain and you like, the podcast is priority number two right now, so there's zero expectation for anybody to come in. So on that night I was already pretty much not like doing the pod in my head. Got you. So Monday, Monday eight am happens. I love to get some salt. Willie Boy ain't getting out of this driveway.

00:06:32
Speaker 5: It's too steep.

00:06:33
Speaker 4: Road's dangerous driveways too steep, is what I heard. Oh buddy, it's like, you know how, we're driving around San fran like we were hit. We were hitting some of these hills. I saw one sign that basically said Willie Ces driveway as we were driving up.

00:06:50
Speaker 5: Huge, huge incline. So I think, I tell will listen if you need me, I'll bring the salt first, and then I'll go do all the stuff for busting with the boys. Will leave me go without me, save yourself, Go do busting with the boys without me, because this driveway is too much for me to handle. That was outside, and I was like, this is insane.

00:07:11
Speaker 4: Okay, hey, gonna time my time out. So yeah, I said, don't worry about coming to drop the salt off because I'm talking to the cats who are there. Jared, who was trying to figure out an Airbnb. Sure's like, hey, I got a dip right after the pod. I'm thinking, all right, don't push anything back because you just got to come bring me salt right right, which.

00:07:26
Speaker 5: Is which is a boy move. We come, we do the show. I think we made lemonade at a Lemons we did it was Yeah, it was a good show. I thought we had a lot of fun. Uh, definitely got Uh. We gotta save zips. That's that's it. That's staying the same.

00:07:40
Speaker 4: Biggest takeaway, save zips. And also Josh paid storytelling.

00:07:44
Speaker 5: With Josh paid storytelling with how insane was that nuts?

00:07:48
Speaker 1: Dude?

00:07:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good one to go listen back to.

00:07:50
Speaker 4: So we're like you.

00:07:52
Speaker 5: Will had a great comment to the boys, Hey, think about things you can do for making content, for busting in a time like this, right, it's it's shitty out. Will's doing it best with the generator. He's at the E five L one S two code going on as generator. But you need to fix that. I got all the things for you on the generak. I believe he called, not knowing he was called generak Jack.

00:08:11
Speaker 4: Time out, Jack, Hey, time out?

00:08:15
Speaker 5: You getting five minutes.

00:08:16
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, ain't gonna sit here and be like I didn't know what it meant.

00:08:19
Speaker 6: I don't know if Will pronounce it right or wrong. I will say Will is a king of content, and he knows how to capitalize on a good situation. And maybe he knew the term generack and maybe he did it.

00:08:32
Speaker 5: I had five people text me, but make sure your boy knows. To Will's credit, he's literally texting me.

00:08:39
Speaker 6: It's like he's texting me about to set the world on fires, Like I'm about to call it a gain iraq.

00:08:43
Speaker 1: He's like, just wait for the comments.

00:08:45
Speaker 4: Oh I actually I look.

00:08:49
Speaker 6: And then within two minutes of the tweet, he's like already sitting me screenshots.

00:08:53
Speaker 1: He's like, people are texting me and like people just.

00:08:56
Speaker 6: Want to get mad at Will already online, especially in these moments. And this is why I really respect him, is because he takes it one step too far and he's out there getting these good old boys rouled up and he's he's wearing the full camera.

00:09:11
Speaker 4: But I love it.

00:09:11
Speaker 5: It's a heady play. Did he text you also and be like I'm gonna tell Taylor my driveways in Sanley Steeve? No, I didn't get that text.

00:09:17
Speaker 6: Bro and and and JP also, uh, we have to credit JP. He was like, Hey, it would be great content if you guys delivered some salt as well. So that's what we did. You you were in your side by side. I drove my four four runner that's got two hundred and ninety seven thousand miles on it and.

00:09:36
Speaker 5: The pits of hell that no one could drive it, especially around West Nashville. Couldn't do it.

00:09:43
Speaker 4: I will say it.

00:09:43
Speaker 5: Though I'm taking selfie videos, you're taking videos.

00:09:46
Speaker 4: There's nothing.

00:09:47
Speaker 5: You're out of timeouts.

00:09:49
Speaker 4: I'll tell you, guys, come over. It'd been sunny. It was like in the middle of the afternoons.

00:09:54
Speaker 5: Not the point had.

00:09:56
Speaker 6: The one saving grace that Will has is the main road the old Hillsboro High School runs off of.

00:10:02
Speaker 5: It was destroyed, destroyed.

00:10:04
Speaker 6: Every single property you you were weaving in between one lane, it was destroyed. When we got to Will's house, I could have put my car in two wheel drive and gone a backwards.

00:10:19
Speaker 1: Yo yo.

00:10:19
Speaker 4: Got by the time y'all came over.

00:10:22
Speaker 5: Out of timeouts, I'm driving and I'm look over and I'm looking at my phone like, okay, this is in five hundred feet and I'm looking. I'm like, these are flat lots. These lots are flat. So I'm thinking and knowing my brain, I'm like, I messed up the address on this house. I turn up in this driveway one percent in climb, get up a driveway I get out, I look at Jack, I go, hey, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Goes craziest non steep driveway of our entire lives.

00:10:54
Speaker 6: We were We were laughing for a minute straight until Will came out, and then he goes, have y'all been bitten?

00:11:00
Speaker 4: It was the first thing he says to us, and Taylor came some. I am legend to my head like, show me your hands, do you have any bite marks?

00:11:09
Speaker 6: Taylor breathe and but honestly, it was great. We got to see Will's new house, beautiful property home. I love the crew, saw all the cool stuff. His gooner cave is all time great shades of green everywhere.

00:11:23
Speaker 5: Love the shades of green.

00:11:25
Speaker 4: You guys got there in the morning at.

00:11:27
Speaker 5: Will's house is like a roll xbox gold. Honestly, yeah, I can see that.

00:11:34
Speaker 4: I didn't know where you're going.

00:11:37
Speaker 5: The green I've been obsessed with for a while now.

00:11:40
Speaker 4: In the morning, that entire driveway was ice bro The streets were ice. There was a massive tree down to my right that was cleaned up. By the time you guys got there, the road did look good. The road did look good. But like by the time you guys came over the road did look good?

00:11:55
Speaker 1: Weren't you driving around to target earlier in the That.

00:11:58
Speaker 4: Was when it was slush.

00:12:00
Speaker 5: So when we had the media of the show, he tried to say, like, oh, none of the ice storm came the next day, Like the ice storm already came on.

00:12:07
Speaker 4: That if you're in Nashville on Saturday, it snowed about two or three inches. The next morning is when there was a rain. There was like a rain moment. Why it was slush going.

00:12:16
Speaker 5: On Saturday mornings when that happened.

00:12:17
Speaker 4: And but Sunday is when it dropped down to single digits, yes, to where everything was hardened over throughout that night. Right, So I don't I don't like the snowstorm. The ice storm didn't happen like on like Saturday night to where everything was down in the single digits part like ice happened, but not to the extent where it got even worse and hardened up overnight on Sunday because it was single digits on Sunday.

00:12:40
Speaker 5: Dude, Saturday morning, five am, Taylor wakes me up and she's like the powers out. I go outside, not knowing what to do. I'm wearing Camo gear that I got from from me eater thinking this is enough, and I'm wandering around outside thinking I do I'm not sure what she wants me to really do, but I'm gonna be out here and I'm gonna try to figure out. It's twenty seven degrees outside and it's raining. Yeah, it was the weirdest. It was the weirdest thing ever. I'm looking off in the distance. I'm hearing like gunshots go off, but it's branches that are breaking in the distance because the ice is already piling up on top of it. I go to our generator that's not starting. I'm fuming thinking about the guy who built our house, being like this is I gotta do something?

00:13:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was terrify was You'd.

00:13:24
Speaker 5: Be like, there's no way Tales beating this guy's ass. He's way too strong and handsome, he be he would handle me. I go over literally juke box, the thing. I just start hitting it, and ice crumbles off this little event area. It starts right up. Been running two hundred hours ever since Doude. Those things grind, man, those things grind. Yeah, I FONSI did, dude. I just hit it. Ice fell turned on. I'm like, I'm a handy man. I've I mean, I've been having a pocket I've had a pocket knife in my pocket since that day. Having because we're in a commercial flight today that don't have it right now. But I'm I'm changing my identity because of this storm. I become more of a man had We've had to do more. I brought Cowboy but I'll be wearing them tomorrow. I feel different. I've saved people.

00:14:10
Speaker 4: It was solid ice on Monday morning. And there's a couple of things you just don't do. You just don't mess with ice, like I don't play around with ice, you know. And you can say flat in one percent, but you'll be wrong on a one percent incline.

00:14:28
Speaker 5: All right, there's no way for me to go to the public and like prove this without like putting your house on blast, like this is Will's house.

00:14:35
Speaker 4: I'll figure out a way to measure it. We'll post inline.

00:14:38
Speaker 5: Whatever you post is fake. Yeah, it's more than one percent.

00:14:43
Speaker 4: It's the drive The driveway is is an incline, like it's by definition, show me the hand he put it on Twitter. Will put this driveway on Twitter. Yeah, I posted it's crazy. I posted the photo.

00:15:02
Speaker 5: That freeze frame now screenshot that that gift is going to go crazy.

00:15:06
Speaker 4: Over for Compton.

00:15:08
Speaker 3: That as an immediate game.

00:15:10
Speaker 5: It's like that, yes, bro, Like like I am when I pulled up to your hats when I thought Will needed a vacation day and out, that's okay with me.

00:15:21
Speaker 4: Oh so no, no, no, no, bro. We had guys.

00:15:25
Speaker 5: I thought, oh, my man just didn't want to come into work.

00:15:27
Speaker 4: That's all good.

00:15:28
Speaker 5: He could just told me, hey, I'm really not feeling it today.

00:15:33
Speaker 3: No.

00:15:35
Speaker 5: No, the way he was talking to me on the phone in the morning, I'm thinking, this, man, you never wear at my.

00:15:41
Speaker 4: I literally told and I told you too. I was like, you don't have to bring the ice right now, or not the ice to salt right now.

00:15:46
Speaker 5: I did that like six times to that morning.

00:15:48
Speaker 4: Like you don't have to bring the saut right now. You can do it after. But yeah, in my brain, I'm like, bro, there's power lines down everywhere. There's trees down everywhere. I've driven around. Like the two guys that were at the shop that were going to run the podcast were just sleeping there because they had power out at their house. Like you have sharm with this family. They're trying to figure out a hotel situation because they're staying with their friend. Jared's there with his two dogs. Surem's there with his two dogs. Jared's also there with Mackenzie. They're trying to figure out an airbab. In my head when I'm making a call on how it being single digits on Sunday and how it's gonna freeze over, It's like, Yo, doing a podcast should be the least of our worries. Not I want a vacation day.

00:16:26
Speaker 5: Well do you think I really thought you needed a vacation day?

00:16:28
Speaker 4: That's what you just said.

00:16:29
Speaker 1: What do you mean?

00:16:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, I said, There was a smirk and a smile on my face.

00:16:32
Speaker 4: Well I know, but I'm saying like that. That was like what was going on through my head. Like when when I'm basically saying like, yeah, there's no need to go in if you don't want to go.

00:16:40
Speaker 5: In, I just need you to admit your driveways like that.

00:16:44
Speaker 4: I will say this, My driveway is higher than a one percent incline.

00:16:48
Speaker 5: That's fair, less than five.

00:16:51
Speaker 4: I'm not good with the angles and shit like that, but I'm saying the driveway is like it's on, like it's you want to hill, bro?

00:17:07
Speaker 5: I'll take you till you're not hitting zone two Cardio. On that you're not you're not gonna be able to hit zone two Cardios.

00:17:13
Speaker 4: That my driveway was a mile long, you being zoned to Cardios, you be in Cardio probably it would be man, you had a beautiful home. You thought about me out there laying on the ground with a ruler and ship trying to figure out I need you with that little a little balance guy that's not a ruler, Yeah, a pro tractor.

00:17:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, that protracted tonna be like two point one and you're like, fuck, as long as it's higher than one. Maybe I did want a vacation day god Lee, but hey, it's awesome to be out here this superball. It's been hell. It's been hell in Nashville. Boys, it's been hell from no hour's out in San Francisco. While Well and I as wives are just spending for themselves with children.

00:18:11
Speaker 4: Bro and tro hit me up today too, saying like the generator is still blinking green, but it's got a yellow back light, so I'm like, all right, let me figure it out. But essentially we figured out that like if it's blinking green, that's good, and the hours because it can go like I want to say, the generat twenty four k watt can go like two hundred hours at a time. And I just don't think it reset like whenever I did learn whenever I did figure out how to change the oil. So I just don't think it reset. I think it's still running off of hours protected from day one that it started working.

00:18:46
Speaker 5: So what does that mean?

00:18:47
Speaker 4: I think she's good. I was like, hey, I think you're fine, but I'll get somebody out there to check it.

00:18:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, at this point, it's kind of just who's going to sustain the grit longer at the power outage or the generators.

00:18:57
Speaker 4: At this point, I'm just hoping the power gets up, bro. Like they they're saying the latest can be on Sunday on February eighth. But my optimistics has like maybe they're just airing on just the worst you would host scenario, because again, the house that we just moved out of, it's in the same zip code, and that one came on yesterday. So I'm just thinking, like, you know, slowly but surely, I'm sure they'll get him up and run there.

00:19:21
Speaker 5: I was on the way back from media days or wherever. What is that the name of what we were just at Media Days opening night? On the way back, I'm on the phone with Tail and she's like, there's nests like a couple of blocks away from where we're at right now. But the block, the blocks they're at are to the right where all the power is. So I don't know what they're doing. Probably getting warm.

00:19:40
Speaker 4: You're I mean Jared situation. His power went off what three different days?

00:19:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, tell that story because that's maybe the most gangster move of all time.

00:19:47
Speaker 4: So his power went out for a decent period of time, then the power kicks back on. So then he comes back from the Airbnb because his power kicks back on, then his power goes off again. Did he go anywhere that night or that day? Did he go back to the Airbnb like he still had the Airbnb? I think no.

00:20:02
Speaker 3: I think when the power came on, they got rid of the Airbnb and then they were in Limbo. I think that's why they stick. He took and then they tried to take schrm's Shore Hotel room I had come back on. Apparently the hotel was diabolical. There was a million dogs just yapping everywhere.

00:20:19
Speaker 4: Right because there's a pet friendly hotel. Yeah, goly bro, there's a friend that I had that was in the hotel like all week long. But anyway, the power comes back on for the second time. Jerry gets back and he's fired up. Power goes off for the third time because he's sending when the power came back on the second time, he's like sending photos like in his house, like hands up like Poe's and being funny. And then he's showering the next morning and in the middle of him showering, the power goes out and he just says his body just fills with rage, and he puts on his clothes. He goes outside and starts driving to find any strucks. He finds him at a gas station and he said he was super kind about it, but he was enraged at the same time. It was just like, hey, what did he say? He asked at first, like, hey, in the power are like my powers out at the house are like, oh no, your area. We just got it up and running. He's like, no, it's not. And he's like, I said it way nice for that, but I'm like, no, uh no, it's not. He's like, oh, I'm pretty sure we got all up and running He's like, do you want me to show you? He's like, yeah, if you want me to show you, and he said he got in his car and he started driving to his house and the entire fleet of the NIES trucks were just behind him. As he's going to show him the powers out in his house and other people around in the area. He gets out, starts twenty at wires. He's like, this one's out there out over there. Ours went out and they stayed there and fixed it in that time. In that time, right, yeah, yeah, they got it up and going, like within an hour, I.

00:21:37
Speaker 5: Believe Dayling like Sunday yesterday. Sunday was like, hey, can you just go find and ask people and ask them questions, like, ask them when they're gonna get it done. I'm like, I would love to, but you know that's not gonna me going up to some real man and me pulling up my car and be like, hey, when are you guys gonna fix my power?

00:21:57
Speaker 4: They yeah, people that's just been driving by they have.

00:22:01
Speaker 5: And I understand where her heads at. She's like, she just wants answers. We all just want answers. But I'm thinking, you just want me to get my truck in because.

00:22:07
Speaker 4: There hasn't been a whole lot of transparency on like when all the car is going to get up a run.

00:22:10
Speaker 5: And they don't know, they're just making subject to Hey, you guys are going here now and they're gonna be there, And it's like when they're like Karen's and Taylor pull up and we're like, hey, why aren't you at my house? Like, what the fuck's wrong with this guy?

00:22:22
Speaker 4: We're on day seven over here.

00:22:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you understand I'm having a hard time. It's like, yeah, bitch, we're all having a time.

00:22:29
Speaker 4: We've been operating three days straight.

00:25:26
Speaker 4: But also while we're out here in San fran if you're in if you're in the Bay Area watching this right now or listening, drop some spots we should go eat.

00:25:34
Speaker 5: Drop some Mexican spots we should go eat because I know you guys went to El Cilantro or wherever you all went to.

00:25:41
Speaker 3: That's crazy, you said El Cilantro.

00:25:43
Speaker 4: Why you hating on El Cilantro bro? Oh wait, hang on, what was it called just slunch Cilantro?

00:25:49
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:25:49
Speaker 4: Why you gotta hate on the Mexican food in Nashville.

00:25:52
Speaker 5: Because it's not that good Mexican food in general. If you make Mexican food is good, it's just a good meal.

00:25:58
Speaker 4: Like Mexicans honestly, it's hard to.

00:26:01
Speaker 5: It's hard to. It's like pizza. Pizza is always good when you eat it, but there's obviously a different variety of this is much better and this is not, and Nash will be in the category of not. It's just not. And that's okay. You think it's bad for Mexican if you were just to put Mexican food as a meter, because, like I just said, you can't really fuck up Mexican. So any Mexican food place you guys go to, I'm sure there were comments made like the service was great, love the vibe in there. What what about say when the food is lacking? The chips and sauce was great, I'm great. The caeso was great Missouri, Pennsylvania. But bro, what's so difficult about making some of these dishes? And what's so special about like the great of the greats of the great? It's not like it's like, oh, this guauku is insane because I'm eating it in Arizona. It's the way they make it in Arizona. It's the way they make it in California. But how to make it in Texas?

00:26:58
Speaker 4: What's this? What's the rest? Everybody that they love Mexican food, wouldn't be able to come to Nashville and recreate awesome.

00:27:07
Speaker 5: With an answer, I have a Mexican spot Nashville. I don't know these amazing ingredients, but you know why. There's not a high Mexican population in Nashville, so more Mexican dense populated areas are going to have better Mexican food.

00:27:22
Speaker 4: The entire argument. I've never disagreed in saying that Arizona and in all these spots like Texas West Coast has better Mexican food over like, there's way more places and opportunity and done. I'm just not in the campus saying like Nashville has bad Mexican food, because that's just not true.

00:27:40
Speaker 5: Because there's no such thing as bad Mexican food Mexican food.

00:27:44
Speaker 4: But there's also good there's also you can find good Mexican food in Nashville. I haven't. I have not.

00:27:50
Speaker 5: Now I've gone back and forth with a bad food in Nashville or overrated you guys have, I've walked that off a little bit.

00:27:56
Speaker 4: But the Mexicans, so hang on, Just to be clear, you're saying you're wrong about saying nationals are bad foods.

00:28:02
Speaker 5: I've said what I said, but I'm saying I know I just said, but I said that earlier this week.

00:28:07
Speaker 4: Right, but now that we're on cameras on mic just wrong. Yeah, But let's just for the podcasting audience.

00:28:13
Speaker 5: For the podcasting audience, you can go back on our socials and see what I talked about. When I was referring back to the conversation we had about National for.

00:28:20
Speaker 4: A hard time taking an l bro L, you were saying that you were wrong.

00:28:26
Speaker 5: Nashville has blind spots in their food, in their food category. That's not to generally say, to generally say that Nashville's food is bad is wrong. Correct, that's a good that's the take.

00:28:38
Speaker 4: That's the Nashville's food is not bad.

00:28:41
Speaker 5: It has blind spots.

00:28:42
Speaker 2: Like natural Mexican food's not bad, but it's not great. I'm not talking about talking about it's this not it not even started. It didn't even the whole thing didn't even start from Mexican food. It was the food scene. No, it was the food scene. It started from l A lookout. We'll look out.

00:28:56
Speaker 4: We're out here in LA and can find some great food. Like Nashville has a bad foods, and I was like, no, no, no, no, no, that's wrong. Has good food.

00:29:04
Speaker 5: I feel like Nashville is missing a good, solid, middle class tier of food, which would be fixed by Zips.

00:29:10
Speaker 4: Middle class food is like overall, we're just talking about average places.

00:29:15
Speaker 5: Fire depends about affordable food. Zips is affordable and delicious, not average. Would you say Zips is an average place.

00:29:25
Speaker 4: I love Zips. I'm saying average. My takes are I love Zips. Nashville has a good food scene. Okay, I'll do.

00:29:32
Speaker 5: Both those perfect with the next thing, with the next thing of but they have.

00:29:37
Speaker 3: Some blind spots, which is there is there one plate, like one type of food in particular you wish that Nashville had in that in that.

00:29:44
Speaker 4: He wants affordable Mexican food with that knocks him off his feet and reminds him of the West Coast. Yeah.

00:29:53
Speaker 5: I went to Sunday last.

00:29:54
Speaker 4: Night because if ye know, I've never been there.

00:29:56
Speaker 5: It's crazy.

00:29:57
Speaker 4: It's Sunda is a lawant staple. It has been since twenty eighteen.

00:30:04
Speaker 5: Nice dude, I am a creature of habit.

00:30:09
Speaker 4: And then Taylor. Taylor got tacos last week, get a spot next to Sunday and he's like I liked him. There's also there's good you got neighbors.

00:30:17
Speaker 5: They would be people would go if if I took you guys at Keli Taco which no justices, but you walk in there, they got the thing going. They have a nice little vibe. They have a little corner where can put all the fixings on. I ordered tacos. What happened? I ate the tacos, and I thought to myself, people from Nashville would think this is the best.

00:30:33
Speaker 4: You said, I like the taco.

00:30:35
Speaker 5: I saw it. You win because I've already said Mexican food is good, point blank. There are different levels of Mexican food. Yeah.

00:30:42
Speaker 3: Hey, speaking of different levels of Mexican food, apparently the world's best burrito is in San Francisco.

00:30:49
Speaker 4: We're going.

00:30:51
Speaker 5: The world's best burrito zero give it it's flowers.

00:30:58
Speaker 4: If it's could be the country.

00:31:00
Speaker 5: So here's For the longest time, I was like, Southern California and Arizona have the best Mexican food in the country. I stood ten toes on that ball bill. People like no text Max tex mex That's the shit that those kind of guys would fight against. When we were in Houston and we went to that place that was the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life. There's not a place like that near Nashville. Houston's closest place.

00:31:26
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. There are spots. There's Mexican spots in Nashville. I'm like, this is good.

Speaker 5: If someone's like, I'm in uh Portland, Oregon and we make great hot chicken, I bet you hot chickens a Nationvill's hot chicken.

00:31:42
Speaker 4: If you got to think too, like everybody who's like, oh, Nashville Bonte, all these different spots. It's just like when our group goes to the Northeast and tries bagels and we're like, they're not out of this world. Like when you go and have Mexican in these different spots, it's not like it's so out of this world to where it's like, oh yeah, I see what people mean when it's not even close, like you still get within the ballpark the majority, especially in cities.

00:32:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, they'll look the same, Tacos will look the same, burritos look the same. But buddy, you've never had a taco from Indian Village.

00:37:05
Speaker 2: Is?

00:37:06
Speaker 5: I don't think the question. I think he's coming back with a vengeance. But you had a guy who is what mid to late thirties playing the best ball of his entire life. Pooka Nkula probable MVP probable MVP Pooka Nakula, the yak King, Pooka yak Nicula and then DeVante Adams having a resurgence in his career, red zone threat. But's you got a lot to be proud about, a lot to be a devious defensive line, a lot to be proud about. Next year might be your year. I think as fans, you guys have a lot to look.

00:37:35
Speaker 4: Forward to, the biggest factor of all of it.

00:37:39
Speaker 5: Blake Horn Sean McVay, Sean McVay. Another year of wondering if Sean McVay comes back.

00:37:46
Speaker 4: Is he starting, Is that starting to get out there?

00:37:48
Speaker 5: I don't know, starting to get out there every year? Every year it's like a Sean gonna come back.

00:37:53
Speaker 4: I fact he kind of found, like some of his old interviews he's done like over the past like year, year and a half. I feel like he's he's found, Like it is his rekindled love for coaching football.

00:38:03
Speaker 1: That's good.

00:38:04
Speaker 4: I am curious if Stafford is going to come back though, speaking of love and Stafford and shout out for the dads.

00:38:11
Speaker 2: That clip of him after the loss going home to his kids. I don't know if he saw it.

00:38:14
Speaker 4: I didn't.

00:38:17
Speaker 2: There's like two am he just got back from losing just walked in the room, gave the kids a kiss on the monitor, and like walked out.

00:38:23
Speaker 4: It was awesome.

00:38:24
Speaker 2: It was a great clip, one of those ones where you're like, man, these are these are people as well is awesome.

00:38:29
Speaker 4: Shout out to Matt Stafford.

00:38:30
Speaker 5: And another clean take. Once you become a father, it's so much easier to cry at almost anything. Yea, is it not a clean take? For the dad's watch parent trap the other day with my kids Bald dude when the girl so when they switch and the girl goes to the dad, which, by the way, the ranch house and Napa. The thing, the funniest part of that that movie to me was the the mom is like some fashion wedding dress designer in the heart of London who has a butler, and the dad is a Napa Valley like vineyard grantcher. And then they get plugged into this first date like back in wherever. On the boat, they're like, how did you guys afford this? It's like, how the fuck you guys could clearly afford renting a boat for an hour.

00:39:22
Speaker 1: And the.

00:39:24
Speaker 4: Which is crazy.

00:39:26
Speaker 5: But when the when she's in the car and she keeps calling him dad, Dad, Dad, over again, and he's like, why you keep calling me dad? She's like, I don't know. I just love saying dad. And he's like, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. And every kid meets their dad. I was just sitting there, like Lindsay Lohanna is so right right now, fucking I'm sitting there. I'm like a swivel chair and I swivel over the tail in tears of my eyes. She goes, look at you like Lindsay Lohan and usually, how do you not love this movie? This is incredible? Yeah, but it's beautiful. It's a beautiful movie. Linday li by the.

00:40:00
Speaker 4: Way, and the child actor and just the chances of them linking up at a camp crazy.

00:40:07
Speaker 5: It's like there's a lot of holes in that movie. The boat thing. You're gonna send your kid to a camp and then your husband. You guys haven't talked to eleven years, but you split the kids when they were born, right?

00:40:19
Speaker 4: Is that not nuts?

00:40:20
Speaker 6: No?

00:40:20
Speaker 5: One like talks about how that's like a thing like, hey, this is obviously not working out between us.

00:40:24
Speaker 1: Which one?

00:40:25
Speaker 5: Which one do you? Which one do you want to take the other one? We'll never see each other so weird. I'll take that one Frock Paper Scissors over one of them. Great movie though.

00:40:33
Speaker 4: Great movie.

00:40:34
Speaker 5: Great movie.

00:40:35
Speaker 4: Huh is.

00:40:38
Speaker 5: That the girls? It's like how they become friends, Like, oh yeah, oh shit, I must have missed that part.

00:40:46
Speaker 4: I haven't seen it in a while.

00:40:47
Speaker 5: So Michigan. Michigan was playing Nebraska the same night, So that was between cries. I was watching.

00:40:55
Speaker 4: People. People have been saying, too since we dropped the shirts, Nebraska zone too. Oh, who'll lose to again Illinois? But we're still ranked nine Illinois five. Apparently Illinois really good? Yeah they are?

00:41:07
Speaker 5: Is he getting close to a Willie curse?

00:41:10
Speaker 1: Hey?

00:41:10
Speaker 4: We put that. I don't really I don't really post about it, like I follow him, but it's not like I'm sitting there watching every I was gonna say every snap, but every minute of every game, and I am cautious, I legitimately, in my brain, I'm like, don't tweet about Nebraska basketball because the Husker fans are just in my head telling me that I'm a curse.

00:41:28
Speaker 3: We posted that one graphic of the ranking of y'all in the uniforms, and people were like, please keep will Compton away from my basketball.

00:41:36
Speaker 4: Oh, I tweeted about that Michigan game happening just one time, justing acknowledge that I was watching it, and then that's when Michigan took the lead in the last three minutes. Yeah yeah, it was just crazy.

00:41:48
Speaker 5: Yeah it was the first like three too. Yeah, yeah, because y'all were up by like ten points at one point.

00:41:53
Speaker 4: I know, I'm sitting there, I'm like, man, it is crazy on Nebraska is a good team, Like this.

00:41:59
Speaker 5: Is all these turnovers. I'm thinking, this is not fundamental basketball.

00:42:02
Speaker 3: Make March madness a lot of fun.

00:42:04
Speaker 4: Because I got done on like hardball game and everybody's like, oh the rest I'm thinking will be one seed.

00:42:11
Speaker 1: What are they ranked right now?

00:42:13
Speaker 5: I think two or three? I really don't know. I know Arizona's one, Michigan Arizona.

00:42:21

00:42:23
Speaker 5: I might have to watch that first day again.

00:42:25
Speaker 1: We're falling off, I.

00:42:26
Speaker 4: Mean our teams, Nebraska is gonna be in it, y'all might be that right there? Could I just now said? I know I said, but I'm thinking, like.

00:42:42
Speaker 5: I mean, how many games could possibly be left in the season.

00:42:44
Speaker 4: I'm assuming February that we're not only gonna we're gonna we're gonna have like a good ranking. I'm assuming based on my my surface level knowledge, which is nuts.

Speaker 1: Yeah. Probably a lot of that depends on what personnel we have out there.

00:44:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gonna.

00:44:58
Speaker 1: On the goal line package, aren't you?

00:45:02
Speaker 4: Troy Lions.

00:45:04
Speaker 1: I still have that. I can go find that clip, right, I know you can Friday tape. Yeah, show uh defend every blade.

00:45:11
Speaker 4: Of grass get out there, will you see?

00:45:15
Speaker 1: So I couldn't tell it was day One that hit it out and you just recovered it or did the hit knock it out?

00:45:22
Speaker 4: Are you sure that that was publicly? I will set the record strate. I got the stat for forced fumble, but but it started it loose, but the helmet was placed nicely. It was.

00:45:33
Speaker 1: It probably would have come out either way.

00:45:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like they have we talked about this before.

00:45:38
Speaker 5: I don't know if we've talked about it publicly, but I know that Day One like pulled you over in the locker room after the game big win takes place.

00:45:44
Speaker 4: Ye came in and was upset with me. He's like, they're gonna give it to you because your social media. I was like, hey, man, I'll tell everybody.

00:45:51
Speaker 1: That you have it. You have it. This is the first time that you public give.

00:45:57
Speaker 5: And he's sitting there.

00:46:00
Speaker 4: That was the only defensive player I had that game.

00:46:02
Speaker 1: I will say I've been there before where you're like, I know I'm going to get credit, but I also know in the back of my mind that probably wasn't deserve it. But you're trying to get every stat that you possibly anything you possibly can. Is like that dynamic of do I come out or do I just you know, let them know you, but you're not going out publicly, and then some defensive linemen they'll like turn it in, like be like, hey, can you turn this playing? I need a half a sack.

00:46:33
Speaker 4: So so you're you been in a situation where you might have gotten a sack. Absolutely yes, A dude comes to you and he's like, hey, you want.

00:46:42
Speaker 1: To turn that and then mistake you know, I mean like the media, like our media person would like turn it in and then they review it the Elias Sports group they review it for like sacks.

00:46:54
Speaker 4: Have you ever gotten to get back for your status? Like have you have youned?

00:46:59
Speaker 1: I think probably I turned in have to.

00:47:01
Speaker 5: Did you ever have like a incentive like you get this certa amount of sack certamount of tackles you get like extra.

00:47:06
Speaker 1: No, I think it was I think it was just playtime. It was just play time. When I was in New England, it was just tied like pet yeah, yeah, fifty sixty seventy and you had to make the playoffs or something like that, and the Pro Bowl. No, just just play time. Okay, did you guys go over there yesterday to Pro Bowl?

00:47:28
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:47:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you guys wouldn't miss that. That's like tight end you on steroids.

00:47:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's just down.

00:47:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, they need to go back to the game and do it. Because we walked it. It's like a conference center and we like get off the plane. We immediately rushed there and like you're judging the kid in competition. We get there, like, hey, so what's the deal. They're like, tell if they hit tell us if they hit it or not. And it was kind of like there's just a little people around like they they still they still take it. So fans want to come in and watch and everything else. But it's just not uh, I don't know.

00:47:56
Speaker 1: It's it's it's tough. I think I coached the last year our staff, which the last year that it was an actual game or they went out onto a football field. Yeah, I wouldn't consider it a game, but it had to be better than what they're doing now.

00:48:09
Speaker 5: It's way better they just having a game, even if it's a jog throw.

00:48:12
Speaker 4: Dodgeball was happening, and so two teams were playing AFC NFC. But if the guy, any of the guys who weren't part of the first game, they were starting to just trickle out because they could have came in and played like after a game is done, new guys can come in. But it basically was just the two same teams for like four or five games.

00:48:30
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys should put something together and fix it.

00:48:33
Speaker 4: We might have to. We might have to.

00:48:36
Speaker 1: So is this a big week for you guys? So she got on.

00:48:39
Speaker 5: Here secrets right now, we can't allude.

00:48:44
Speaker 4: To it being secrets, but really we're in crunch time and we need some plays to be made and are not getting made.

00:48:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay.

00:48:51
Speaker 5: There'll be conversations had during this week about hey, this is where we this is this is the ship that gets you beat.

00:48:56
Speaker 4: Type of conversation.

00:48:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll be in the team meeting with a couple of people the ship to get your Yeah, hey, listen, these are the things we did good. We sandwich it. This is the ship right here. We're gonna lose a lot of games doing this.

00:49:06
Speaker 1: And this is the guys. These are you guys personally get These are.

00:49:11
Speaker 5: The guys that when we're in the team meeting, we put JP. You know what I'm talking about, clump am I right? Like just like you hit Jeffrey Simmons or KB or Derek in a meeting like over and over and over again. Yeah, these are the guys you can rely on. Back here we're talking going. We got the best players that need to play their best and in order to win, we gotta have it.

00:49:29
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Yeah, you didn't play every game, but you all the time.

00:49:38
Speaker 4: Not all the time.

00:49:39
Speaker 5: I'll tell you, there is nothing that makes you tighter than those damn team meetings. It ain't that funny, will shut the funk up.

00:49:46
Speaker 4: It's funny because you knew something was coming.

00:49:49
Speaker 5: Something and he's like smiling, like okay, he's on a high horse. You didn't play a whole lot.

00:49:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna flip the script is going to be completely professional. I am so proud of you guys. I could have never dreamt this for you guys in a million years. You guys are crushing it.

00:50:08
Speaker 4: Thank you.

00:50:09
Speaker 5: Hey, that's a big time.

00:50:10
Speaker 4: And to think about it, the clip of you cutting your dick off that went viral kind of put us on the map, didn't put.

00:50:19
Speaker 1: We don't need, we don't need. Let's just call it what it is.

00:50:23
Speaker 4: Let's just call what it is. But what six years later?

00:50:26
Speaker 1: Here we are, here, we are at the Super Bowl one.

00:50:30
Speaker 4: You're with the page.

00:50:31
Speaker 1: You guys are covering Daddy. You guys are staying at the team hotel, family plan.

00:50:36
Speaker 4: We got it. All is exactly right. I'll sketching up with Gin yesterday. I know they get in today. What can be some fun questions to ask coach Braves? Well you got anything out there? And she was like, just just play the hits, bring back up, the bring back up, the cutting off the piece in the super Bowl.

00:50:54
Speaker 1: I mean that we guys got plenty.

00:50:56
Speaker 5: You guys have what is how many times have you been asked this week about that?

00:51:00
Speaker 1: Just a couple and then somebody asked me in Boston, Yeah, what was your answer to them? I mean I'd probably cut it in half. Okay, lever six.

00:51:16
Speaker 5: Do we show our gifts I have in my pocket? Well, we have gifts.

00:51:20
Speaker 4: We have another gift.

00:51:22
Speaker 5: Do you want the this is so we went out, we looked all over the earth and we found this for you. So this is just just in case you get it. And we know what the situation you've got. You talked about six well for centimeters.

00:51:34
Speaker 4: We know you're about the details.

00:51:35
Speaker 5: So that's so right. You want to clean cut, you want to clean cut, So we got to make sure we have that.

00:51:41
Speaker 4: Can we just get you just a smile?

00:51:43
Speaker 1: And for some reason I feel like the boys.

00:51:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, how was what was like when you guys are playing the Bronco with a backup quarterback? How much was was it humbling your squad to be like, hey, you're not going to get up every single day and just put clothes on and beat teams, doesn't matter if Bow's out.

00:52:09
Speaker 1: Well, again, you can see the defenses in this playoffs disgusting. They are good and the longer you go, the better the defenses get. So quarterback play is critical. I think the way that the weather turned out, it turned into a defensive game. We were able to take care of the ball and sometimes you don't know how it's going to go, but again, we took care of football. We talked about the three teams. You guys would have loved this. There were three teams that had gone into Denver in the past two years and one I called, you know, they were part of the Mile High Club. I said, said, you guys want to join the Mile High Club. And I asked one player, I said, you know what that is. He's like no, I said, well, Digsy explained it to him, and so I said, the Mile High Club is you know, when you're on a plane whatever. But our mile High Club is going to be Jacksonville, Pittsburgh and the Chargers were the three teams that beat him the last two years. None of them had turned the ball over and they had gotten two turnovers from from Denver. Low and be Hole. We go out, we don't turn the ball over, we get two turnovers from Denver. So it's a hard place to play. You know. We got altitude, seventy five thousand people, great defense, and so again we played the game pretty much how we needed to play it.

00:53:22
Speaker 4: The Blizzard hit too. That's crazy, bro nowhere.

00:53:28
Speaker 1: I mean, well, we walked out for pregame and it was like one of those like forty two degree days sunny. You're like, I got too much. Take some of this stuff off within two hours, hour and a half. It was fifteen degrees. I look over, everybody's face is just covered with snow, and I'm like this, this guy real in a hurry, and sometimes that's how these things go.

00:53:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, handle business. You were bringing up uh digsie and there's the the clip that was going viral about him coming up to you on the sideline want to block and you're telling him to shut the fuck up. But what is he said? Storylines and headlines throughout his career. What do you feel like is the biggest misconception with Stefan Diggs that.

00:54:13
Speaker 1: He's somehow not a great teammate. I mean, he's been an unbelievable teammate. He's been engaged. I would say that he has some sort of relationship with everybody in our building, whether that's his wide receiver, coach Todd Downing, whether that's Josh, whether that's the quarterback, whether that's defensive players, that's me. He's got a great spirit to him. You guys would love him, and you know, he's been a great addition.

00:54:39
Speaker 5: We camp. We were talking about his significant other, Cardi ban I haven't met her yet, heard good things can't wait, how is your relationship developed with miss Cardi Bean good?

00:54:49
Speaker 1: I think she's absolutely hysterical, But I mean, I don't see her bunch. I saw her after the Denver game. Couldn't miss her. She had lime green hair, was the only thing that was standing out in the snow. But the stuff she said. Sometimes as I take them to Touloum tonight on Delta, I'm like, this girl is hilarious. And again, whatever they do, and however, if they seem like they're having a good time and enjoying this thing, and I'm sure I'll see her this week.

00:55:18
Speaker 4: I love it. Dude.

00:55:19
Speaker 1: How what are you getting nervous? You forget? The questions are reminiscent when we signed you late in the year during COVID.

00:55:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just thinking the coach speak we might get. But how nuts is it you guys are sitting at seventeen and.

00:55:38
Speaker 5: Three about the super Bowl?

00:55:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, not no coach training camp, but we're looking around.

00:55:45
Speaker 1: So when when I had you guys in Tennessee, clearly that wasn't enough to get us to the super Bowl. So I had to get different players. I had to go to another place. I mean, to get guys better than you guys for us to get to the super Bowl. That's want coach speak.

00:56:04
Speaker 5: You told me nineteen we got a squad that can get it done. I know we had Derek aj Tannehill was slinging it, great offensive line. We were playing all of us.

00:56:16
Speaker 1: All out there, all of us. Uh it is uh, we were Hey, I played these guys take this for granted. And I and I hope that you guys realized that in your career is to not take it for granted. Uh. And we also talk a lot about everybody's journey being different to the NFL and what your career looks like. Again between the three of us, different journeys, first round pick, third round, Willie's story, but it doesn't matter. And I think that this is this is this is no because you're like getting teary eyed, like.

00:56:56
Speaker 4: I'm up for a good cry being a dad. Now. All your boot.

00:57:02
Speaker 1: Right is it's just don't take it for granted, don't take these opportunities, don't take these moments for granted. But also, you know, we've got a lot of guys from a lot of different places that have come together quickly, and I think that you guys would appreciate it. What they've done in the off season of building a team, not taking yourself too seriously, making jokes. You know, we do this thing we've added on Friday tape. We've added the weekend Update, So give us some weekend will Willie Campbell does the weekend Update. He'll talk about the weather for the game, he'll talk about birthdays that are coming up, any any events, and then we go into this like monologue of like making fun of people. And he goes up there with his like Southern draw and he kind of dead pans it. And you know, we have a group of writers that write these.

00:57:51
Speaker 5: Jokes, so it's like, don't make fun of me.

00:57:58
Speaker 1: It's like the same six people just rotating, and the guys love it. Everybody laughs. And then I tell him to sit down, and then he goes through the food menu on Friday. You know, I mean like, you know, oh, we're having burgers from this place or you know, tacos from this place or burritos, whatever the Friday menu is that they bring in and it's something that we've added and the guys love it.

00:58:20
Speaker 4: That is awesome.

00:58:21
Speaker 1: So we've got the last one this Friday.

00:58:23
Speaker 5: Getting Campbell up there too to talking for the team. I'm sure the first four or five times he was nervous. Is he kind of learning it now?

00:58:29
Speaker 1: Dead aren't brutal? And these last three weeks like bringing heat and I'm like, you're going to be amazing. You're going to be amazing next year. I'm not doing it next year. I go, hell, yes you are.

00:58:43
Speaker 5: How has his rookie season like there was all a bunch of criticism run the arm length, which I think is ridiculous. He gets drafted fourth overall. I thought he was playing relatively well and then he goes into this gauntlet and he's getting a lot of criticism. Are you having that sit down conversation like, listen, man, you have a couple of plays here and there. It's like you just got to.

00:59:03
Speaker 1: You sign up to play left tackle, you sign up to play corner.

00:59:07
Speaker 5: I mean, that's what happens, right, there's any games you get got.

00:59:10
Speaker 1: And that's what this that's what this league is about. It's about it's not about to success. It's about can you have adversity and come back the next week, come back the next play. And I said, listen, we you're the guy that we wanted to play this position. And uh, and we can't wait to watch you continue to play and improve get better. I mean, we have a lot of guys that are twenty one, twenty two, twenty three years old. Our quarterback's younger than Carter, if you can imagine that. And that's exciting to think that. And again, you know, this is how this league goes. Whether you get beat as a tackle, you get beat as a corner, whatever that may be. You know, they just come back the next day and next week and keep fighting. So I'm proud of them for doing that. And you know, but you gotta protect a quarterback, you guys know all that, all right?

01:00:02
Speaker 4: Quick, little potty break to shut out Neutral. Neutral tastes great and tastes much better than anything else out there that we tried. Neutrals made a real vodka and real juice. That's what makes it taste great. It comes to a variety of flavors like watermelon, black cherry, strawberry, new flavors like peach and blueberry. And it's perfect for social occasions because it's such a crowd pleaser, especially during spring vacation and basketball, college basketball, or holidays like Saint Patti's Day or Marty Graw. They have their new variety twelve packs that launch nationwide. That is their biggest pack yet. They got bucket deals. You can go, you know, grab a twelve pack of Neutral for the game, or grab a bucket deal in your favorite bar as you root on your favorite team. Neutral. Keep it tasty. We are also brought to you by Jim Beam. This postseason is upon us and there's really nothing like it. But the postseason can be stressful. Crushing losses, wild ups, that's your six game parlay falling apart at the literal last second. Things can get rough and it can leave you feeling a little sour, but you gotta look on the bright side. Once your team is out and headed to off to decompress, you can finally relax. Now you can actually enjoy the postseason without all the heart palpitations. That's why we're partnering with Jim Beam. We want to help you turn that lemon of a loss into delicious, tasty Jim Beam and Lemonade because it's really the perfect bevy for the offseason. It's refreshing, it's got that perfect sweetness, that little bit of tang on your tongue, and it's best paired with stress free watching when your team is out, So gather the boys and grab some Jim Beam and Lemonade to make the rest of the postseason just a little bit sweeter. Refresh your season with Jim Beam and Lemonade, best enjoyed together. Please your irresponsibly. Jim Beam, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey forty percent alcohol by volume, twenty twenty five. James B. Beam Distilling Coke, Clermont, Kentucky. Back to this episode. Yeah, I know, obviously you're as competitive as anybody. What is your brain? What is going on in your when you see all the chatter of this when people talk about the strength of schedule and the path that you guys have had to get here.

01:02:07
Speaker 1: I mean, they let me do a lot of things. They don't let me schedule the games. They don't let me schedule where we play or who we play. I mean I have control over a lot of things as the head coach here. That's not one of them. We've tried to improve. I think we have regardless of who we've played. I think we've gotten better and we're doing a lot of things that you need to do in the playoffs to get to this point.

01:02:29
Speaker 5: Well, what was alluding to this before when we were at camp kind of watching your your team, looking at the roster, you kind of walk around you see like, okay, this team's young. Hopefully Drake may takes a step, but you know, probably with the cold, with the Raves culture, we're going to double the wins from the cultures, right, Yeah, Tom beat for second type situation. And I'm sure you guys sat there as a as a staff and sat back in like what of our expectations this year? And behind closed doors, at what point were you guys like, hey, we really we really got a shot at this thing logically, not like hey we're going to every game.

01:03:02
Speaker 1: You know, I've never I've never tried to set expectations one because that way you're not disappointed.

01:03:09
Speaker 5: Peter, happiness is little expectation.

01:03:11
Speaker 1: That's it.

01:03:11
Speaker 4: Do you ever have any for like you have taken on this next job as a head coach knowing that they were three and thirteen the two years prior, like, have some type of expectation for yourself?

01:03:22
Speaker 1: No. I wanted to build a program that when the player to think what would I wanted to have as if I was a player, And I said, I want to try to build a program that when these guys walk in, they feel like this is what it's supposed to look like, everything is in alignment, everybody knows what their job is to help us, and that the players feel like this is something that's heading in the right direction. Whoever the players ended up being, that was my goal to try to unite the building and make sure that everybody was moving in the same direction and they knew what the expectation was now once we got going. You know, I think the joint practice again Washington was good. I think the joint practice against Minnesota was good. Took some lumps, came back, you know. I mean it was back and forth against a really good defense. So I was like, okay, let's see what happens. You know, put the quarterback in a blender with all the blitzer blitzes and stuff like that. Handled it pretty well. You know, started off with the Raiders, and again, I think we're just tentative. You know, we didn't really know, and that's that's on me. We didn't really know how we wanted to play or that we were just kind of guarded and cautious, and I said, we're going to have to be attack and be aggressive and h not be worried about making mistakes. And so you go through this little stretch. You go to Buffalo on Sunday night, win that game. You know, my dad said something to me that he I didn't really. He's like, you got a lot of young guys that just went out there on a big stage on Sunday night, crowd, noise, environment, all this stuff, and you won the game. And I didn't. Really. It didn't dawn on me that again, whoever plays plays I did an age and everything else, But I guess you have to look at some of those things. So I think that helped us get going, and then I think we got better along the way. We finished strong. We had you know, we lost to Buffalo. We had some adversity there where we were up and then gave up a lead and and then finished strong.

01:05:17
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I was out on Twitter talking about his ass whooping happening in New England right now, and then it backfired. So it was a tough l to take by the end of that game. The second one, just saying personally, the second Buffalo Bills.

01:05:30
Speaker 5: Game, yeah, and coming off, Braves is undefeated by oh, this is a clear yeah.

01:05:35
Speaker 4: With the pods and that media, and they're like, you're kind of attacking the whole strength of schedule thing. Buffalo's coming in, They're whooping their ass and here we go.

01:05:44
Speaker 1: You're like, can we get a punt here?

01:05:45
Speaker 5: Can Josh Allen? We One thing that you clearly do extremely well is game management. Having your guys understand two minutes four minute. Hey, this situation.

01:05:58
Speaker 1: Here, I don't want to cut off. We changed it to five minute. Why is that? Because the timing roles coincide with being under five minutes. So instead of saying four minutes, we say five minutes because the clock stops when you go out of bounds under five minutes, gotcha, we might as well call it five minutes so that the players all know, like what the timing rules are, but go ahead, Sorry to cut you off.

01:06:20
Speaker 5: No, it's a great yeah bag brain thought. And it's exactly where it leads me to the question, is your players when we know this from experience, like everyone knows what to do and when to do it, but you also have guys in the headset you're putting the launder in the field when you want to challenge something, what is the process when you're reviewing plays and it's so like you know, bang bang, as far as like guys are trying to get the ball, like big deep pass happens, right, Is it a catch? Is it not a catch?

01:06:45
Speaker 1: Point? Obviously, Stretch and I are constant communication.

01:06:48
Speaker 5: Is it just you two like that are on the headset during those situations?

01:06:52
Speaker 1: Yep, Stretch has his own dedicated line just like you guys. You guys can talk to there.

01:07:01
Speaker 5: It is what what stretches percentage on challenges?

01:07:06
Speaker 1: I think I overruled them one time and I was like, I just was pissed and so I challenged. It's like I told you not to challenge. It was going to mess his record up. I think it's okay. I mean it's tough sometimes right now to figure out where they're going. And in review, I would say that the call in the field is very critical that you understand what the call in the field is because they need a lot to overturn it.

01:07:29
Speaker 5: Why do you think your teams do such a good job with those situations, then you see other teams that maybe lack in that area from communication, I can.

01:07:37
Speaker 1: Only coach one team at a time. I don't Again, I'm trying to focus on explaining what we're trying to do at the end of the game or the end of the half to help us. Trying to have everybody in place so that the coaches understand that I'm stretching out of communicating. I'm communicating to Josh about what we want to do, and I'm communicating to Zach on what we want to do defensively. Uh, and as long as our players understand it, that's the most important thing. We we rep it, we practice it. We'll have to do it this week. We've got a whole practice dedicated to that on Thursday.

01:08:11
Speaker 4: What stretches ego like these days? I know, I see he's above saying what's up?

01:08:18
Speaker 5: Now? You know what's crazy is early in the year, like the first three weeks of the season, I would text and call Stretch and he would text and call me back. Late in the season, I have about three unanswered texts to him.

01:08:29
Speaker 1: He's he does a lot, he's doing a lot.

01:08:32
Speaker 4: And he's doing a lot of things.

01:08:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he had a podium last night at the media.

01:08:41
Speaker 5: You know, miss is crazy.

01:08:45
Speaker 1: If you yeah, you're not gonna he's not going to do many interviews, but uh, you know, you guys know what he means to me personally, to this team and to my family. So I'm thankful that that he's he's with us and he's along for this journey.

01:08:59
Speaker 4: Are you Are you ever sitting there thinking like I'm gonna have to keep fighting to keep this guy around, because I mean it's starting to it's leaking, it's getting out.

01:09:10
Speaker 1: Let Stretch go anywhere?

01:09:12
Speaker 4: What would the record be without stretch?

01:09:15
Speaker 5: Leak's built to be leagus, built to be five hundred leagues, built to be what do you, yeah, what do you think it would be? How vital is strikes?

01:09:29
Speaker 1: I've said this all along. He's helped us win games when we're in Tennessee. He's helped us win games here.

01:09:34
Speaker 4: When we were at a training camp, we were talking about the leadership with Drake and Bussy, you were busting his balls about celebrating after touchdowns are big plays. What's the leadership learning curve been like for Drake? And what have you seen like this season?

01:09:47
Speaker 1: Good? And again you have to understand he's young, and in his mind he's like, I haven't done anything, and so I don't want to, uh, you know, lead or be out there if I haven't really done it. I said, well, that's not really how it goes. You know, many of the quarterback here and you have to you know, there's certain things that you have to do. And he embraced that and you can see the growth there and you can see the way that guys respond to him and him being the conductor. And you know, when the quarterback does stuff, then people are like, okay, you know we can that's okay to do, It's okay to celebrate, it's okay to do these things. And again we talked about everybody's personality being different. Certainly Drake's mindset is exactly what we want. The competitiveness, the energy, and the performance go ahead.

01:10:38
Speaker 5: When you take this job and you and all the coaching staff are watching the film of the previous season, you're not the head coach down, but you're seeing a lot of the same guys in the way they're playing in the field. And you look at Drake Mayho has fifteen touchdowns, ten interceptions last year and then you fast forward to the end of this year and it's thirty one touchdowns to eight interceptions. Make some message on basically doubles his passing yards, like what has been the most change that he's had from year one to year two.

01:11:03
Speaker 1: Man, I think that there's a great system. I think Josh does a great job. I think Ashton Grant quarterback coach, provides a really good balance between Josh Ashton's younger. So Josh does the majority of that stuff and then Ashton is able to kind of fill in the blanks and be a different type of coach. And then it's obviously, you know, Drake's improvement. I think our receivers have done a fantastic job. We've had guys step up each and every game. And it's not been just one or two guys. We've had guys fill the stat sheets. Everybody has a couple, you know, you know, touchdowns, everybody's got yards and catches and you know. So I think that's a very unselfish group that has allowed him to succeed and that he has confidence in each and every one of those guys.

01:11:50
Speaker 4: Are those treats that his wife brings in? Are they they like that?

01:11:53
Speaker 1: They're good? They're delicious? Yeah, And Michael does a great job. Bake Miss was good, Bake Miss, Bake Miss.

01:11:59
Speaker 5: What's big Miss?

01:12:00
Speaker 1: It's a holiday season instead of Christmas, It's bake miss, and so she bakes something every day, every day, every day that she had. I think there was a snickerdoodle with like cinnabon.

01:12:14
Speaker 4: Icing on that. Yeah, the snickerdoodle, but they got an icing on top.

01:12:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a cinnamon butter cream cinnabon.

01:12:23
Speaker 5: How's How's Carter? Carter and Tyler taking all this good handling it well and they letting it get to their head that their dad's in the super Bowl.

01:12:33
Speaker 1: Not Tyler, you know, I mean, Tyler doesn't say too much.

01:12:36
Speaker 4: He's pretty He's.

01:12:39
Speaker 5: That Carter's out here. He's got to be enjoying Carter.

01:12:44
Speaker 1: He's in root right now out here. But again, there's not a bigger supporter of me than Carter. And he when somebody says something bad about his dad, he's ready to fight and he will hold grudges. And I love him and he is loyal and I'm glad that he can enjoy this. Jen said, when Drake got that first down in Denver, she just felt this like somebody like Jacker from behind, and he was like just squeezing her for like a minute because he was just like, you know, we getting this business and we are always judged. You're judged as a tackle or judged as a player. I'm judged as a coach. And so the people that love us the most they see that stuff and they're just like, I'm keeping the receipts and I'm going after each and every one of them. That's how Carter is. So I'm glad that they can enjoy this. They are great for me and allow me to be here and do this, and and they're a large part of it.

01:13:46
Speaker 4: You still put the beanie cap on and get out there and mix it up. I feel like I haven't seen a whole lot of v able moments throughout this season, mixing I.

01:13:54
Speaker 1: Put the pad on. I don't, I mean I put the pad on.

01:13:57
Speaker 4: Try to get around and O line d anybody putting you on?

01:14:02
Speaker 1: Mean that game that day you guys were there for training camp, I went diving into a fight. It was like I was going to save Taylor from another fight. I had to go jumping another training camp fight. I had to go diving into the pile. Do you have to play victim?

01:14:14
Speaker 5: Do you have a player like Jeff that you protect under any circumstances.

01:14:20
Speaker 4: I wish, I wish we could find one of their old moments in training.

01:14:24
Speaker 1: Camp, I heard like Carter. Carter said, you guys had like this Twitter moment.

01:14:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I was watching them both analogized to I'm watching I'm watching the game, and I'm literally watching jeff manhandle individuals. But it's like he's getting double teamed. He's still just killing people, and it's to the Poinum, I'm like, I have to publicly acknowledge how dominant Jeffrey Simmons is and I do, and he like tweets above it appreciate you, big dog. He comes on the pod and we start breaking down a story that happened.

01:14:52
Speaker 1: I was an.

01:14:52
Speaker 5: Nineteen twenty camp where you know, zone blitz on the right and drops Jeff tries to loop out.

01:14:59
Speaker 1: And light one.

01:15:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, get him. I was like, what, well, yeah, you're not you don't like.

01:15:05
Speaker 1: That, we're not taking shots. No, No, it wasn't a shot.

01:15:08
Speaker 5: It was it was just obviously I gotta put something into used. And okay, so you're on Jeff's side. Okay, I remember I catch him on the hip to day, but do you remember him trying to fight me for like the next six days straight.

01:15:22
Speaker 1: Yeah? I loved every second.

01:15:27
Speaker 5: Hey, Raves. It got to the point where I'm walking around the halls. I'm like, if he's around the corner, I feel like he's going to start swinging on me. And hey, hey that's a big guy, big scary man. That's it, And I like the in game, have fun. But there's a line there and he said some things.

01:15:43
Speaker 1: But now you guys are you guys are good? Yeah?

01:15:48
Speaker 4: Like when we were at the kicking competition for the Pro Bowl, Jeff's he's kind of hanging out with us.

01:15:53
Speaker 1: Where he and so he came out. You guys had him as a guest.

01:15:57
Speaker 5: Yes, and it's I'll say this clump reached out to me like Sunday night. He's like, how do you fee about Jeffrey Simmons. I'm like, fuck, I guess, man, I guess we're gonna have them on. And I'm walking into the pod being like, I really don't want to have And.

01:16:11
Speaker 1: So what are you doing in Nashville? Where is it where you guys have the bus? You guys still have the warehouse or what? Yeah?

01:16:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, still got the s same setup.

01:16:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, the last time you came home with the trash bag, we're still there.

01:16:23
Speaker 1: How much of that stuff did you keep it was the traction. I thought it was your equipment. I thought there was some of your equipment and stuff.

01:16:30
Speaker 5: You guys took that personally, didn't you? That was that was funny.

01:16:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was funny.

01:16:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, coming in with the juice bag.

01:16:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got I remember getting called from Puff and he's like, what are you doing? We're getting We're getting killed over here for like leaving you. I'm like, dude, I really, we're coming in with the trash bag. Did you see have you seen the clip going around with Cushing? Yeah, everybody got you.

01:16:59
Speaker 1: You know. The guy was like the scout team running back and like a walk through and I you know, I mean, and he knocked the ship out of me one time in Houston, and it's a lot of years later he wants to talk about it. I was like, dude, this didn't happen, Like, you didn't knock me on my ass.

01:17:16
Speaker 4: Well he did knock you on your No. No, he made it seem like he's like I put everything into and I knocked him on his ass. Coaches were coming up like yeah, and.

01:17:24
Speaker 1: Then he like he cut put blood on his forehead and he was like, ah, yeah, that's it's just cush.

01:17:33
Speaker 4: What else? Man?

01:17:34
Speaker 1: I feel like this has been It's been a great week. What our time too?

01:17:39
Speaker 4: What I was here and we got longer?

01:17:41
Speaker 1: Now, you guys, the deal was on the it was thirty minutes.

01:17:46
Speaker 4: Thirty Yeah, keep a little longer.

01:17:51
Speaker 5: We keep at longer.

01:17:52
Speaker 1: How is it ot? It's time and happen?

01:17:54
Speaker 5: Getting to this game as a coach as opposed to a player, and then being able to like emotionally catch yourself, because.

01:17:59
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the biggest thing, is trying to catch yourself that you're here right, because it happens pretty quick. We stayed the night in Denver because of the weather, and it took us a while to get back and then it was like, okay, like put this schedule together and try to figure out what we need to do to get the team ready. And I think just as a player, you just have a different mindset. The players like, yep, I lock in, I know what to do. When it's done, it's done, and then I can kind of get back to it the next day. I think as a coach it just continues to like linger and stay on your mind and am I doing this? And what do I have today? And you know, I think that's been the biggest thing.

01:18:36
Speaker 5: Seeing like haws and dudes and like all the old coaches, watching them walk around like media as you just tell like buddy, I've kept going with them like yo, you're one game away from having a ring on your finger. You see their eyes like light up, but then quickly like like can I sit back like I got I can't have that type of emotion.

01:18:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I want them to enjoy it. We've talked this whole year about embracing the preparation, embracing how hard this league is, and also enjoying what you do, where you do it, and who you get to deal with. And then obviously enjoyed the execution.

01:19:07
Speaker 4: I got nothing else he's getting.

01:19:10
Speaker 5: He had a time limit in his head watching once.

01:19:14
Speaker 4: He said time and a half.

01:19:16
Speaker 5: O's got one who was harder to cut in your career? Will or Taylor? Uh?

01:19:28
Speaker 1: Both both fairly easy, man. Those are easy decisions, maybe with the team's best interest in mind and no emotionally Uh Will Will?

01:19:43
Speaker 5: And the thing that sucks to clemp is I knew that was the answer, but I just hated here to come out of his mouth. I hated every bit of that.

01:19:53
Speaker 1: I'm proud of these guys. Man. I appreciate the friendship.

01:19:56
Speaker 4: Jack did have one. He's our titan. Well, that was sorry that. I didn't mean to do that, Jack.

01:20:02
Speaker 5: Come on, yeah, And I do want to say just one thing. We were in Cabo when Rabel called me and he's like, hey, listen, we're gonna you know what's gonna happen, like you go and pick the day like when we're gonna kill you, essentially, and I was like, hey, I'd love to do this. He's like, we gotta do it before the combine, so it's gotta be sooner than that. Yeah, And so I go in and braves just like.

01:20:22
Speaker 4: You get off the phone because we're out there together and we kind of just sit there quietly, and I'm like, that's how you feel, And it sucks.

01:20:29
Speaker 5: You knew like when I when I was you know, twenty two, when it's like you play two.

01:20:32
Speaker 1: Games longer than in the conversation I got when I got traded from New England to Kansas City that lasted about nine seconds.

01:20:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can. When I went into your office and you're like talking to me, Hey, Yeah, we're at Park City of Utah skiing I'm thinking myself, man, just pull out the gun schedule, say like talking to me. Ran comes in. I don't even know Ran, and you're like, hey, so you know the deal. I'm like, all right, yeah it was. Then it just got uncomfortable. Let me just get out of here.

01:20:55
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead. What do you got.

01:20:58
Speaker 6: So I know all the Titans fan is back home? I would like to hear about this our recent hire Robert Sala. The news media wants to say that we fired Mike Rabel and hired a lesser Mike Rabel. I think the Titans fan just want to know if there's anything you have to say about Robert Sala and what you think of him as a coach.

01:21:15
Speaker 1: I think he'll do a great job. I enjoy my relationship with Robert, and I think he'll do a fantastic job back there.

01:21:24
Speaker 4: Feel good? Yeah you can live with that, right?

01:21:29
Speaker 1: We make you guys.

01:21:30
Speaker 5: So I sent him an Instagram video of like how Titans fans are? Guy been at a party, But no, I'm happy for him and this dude like basically saying like he's for the He just takes me back, hi buddy, for.

01:21:41
Speaker 4: The Titans base. I feel like It's one of those situations where you're happy seeing very achieve and accomplish all the things, but now that he's gotten to the super Bowl, it's like God.

01:21:50
Speaker 1: He's basically he is a huge titan guy. Huge titan guy, huge titan I know. But that doesn't mean you still have to like you at cheerleader.

01:22:00
Speaker 5: Now that's very Actually I'll take it. They would say the opposite.
