Speaker 7: Wow, what a time to be alive man. Christmas season. Holiday season, boys, we're all putting on a couple extra LB's. We're going a pinky swear to start our New Year's resolution, the same way we do every single year on Jan one, talking about get Jack to die try. I'm telling you this year it's changing this year coming up.

00:02:43
Speaker 3: I'm not every year.

00:02:44
Speaker 7: I'm just letting you guys know, look at me. I'm sick and tired. I'm being sick and fucking tired about this situation. It changes in twenty six, but for now, we we enjoy, we get more gout. Now weekend, let's go with little appetizer. What's here? Quickly about how will confidence? Weekend went right? Flies up to New York. Family's there. I got put on rue duty on the plane. By the way, we had an outstanding time, the two of us, outstanding time. But Will, how was your trip New York? Buddy?

00:03:15
Speaker 3: The trip to New York was fun. The highs were highs, the lows were lows. The chaos was chaos. I would say, holding your laughter. I would say as a as a man who grew up in Middle America, and I would I would say that I'm more introverted than extroverted. But I would say that the biggest sacrifice a father could make if you come from that cloth. The biggest sacrifice you could make is doing Christmas in New York with your family in the hotel room. Again, the moments that were there where I'm sitting back and I'm more as the as the dad happy to see my girls happy, like hey, let's go do this, let's go do that, let's hit all the things in New York. It was phenomenal. If you're into that vibe and you love the Christmas spirit and you want to visit New York, I would encourage and recommend a trip to New York. But when the chaos hits and the chaos ensues, those are the moments where I'm just like God, I wish i could just be watching some ball on the couch. I quickly try to stop myself and say, hey, these are the years where it's about making memories with the kids, and that's what we're doing. And in the chaos, the spirit, it's about the chaos. It's about the chaos in those moments where you have to embrace the suck. But overall, that is my opinion on our trip to New York. Had a lot of fun, had a lot of high moments, but again the Lows when they struck they felt like lows.

00:04:44
Speaker 7: Bad photo I'm looking at right there on that screen looks a little manufactured to me.

00:04:48
Speaker 4: No.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: I had a couple where I'm staying there smiling and then I'm like, let me embrace this one first.

00:04:52
Speaker 7: Okay, so not manufacturer.

00:04:54
Speaker 3: But seeing the tree like that one's in home alone? What is that tree called the New York like the Coco Fella? Try the Rockefeller Center, Like that's a vibe. There's just a I'm not like there's billions of people, So that's just not like my vibe. In my style. I'm sitting here looking around seeing all the places that I see in movies and a home alone and everything else, thinking this is sick. We did the little horse ride. We're sitting on the back of the carriage going around Central Park. Our hotel was right there by Central Park. We hit the Rockefeller with the FAO or the FOA Toy Center, like those moments were like unbelievable. But again, just in total my vibe what I'm cut from, it's just I'm in I'm doing uncomfortable things, but I know that that makes me better because I'm testing my boundaries and my wife gets me out of the house to do things like this.

00:05:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be back.

00:05:42
Speaker 7: Oh he'll be back. I can tell you that.

00:05:45
Speaker 3: I'll probably be back. Not from my own desire of wanting to go back, from your own selflessness, from my own selflessness there you go, JP, Yeah, from my own self.

00:05:57
Speaker 7: Good husband all around them.

00:05:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, Papa team six out there. That is the biggest sacrifice you can make. There are gonna be times where it sucks and you don't want to be there, but you have to embrace the suck man. Because when Scotty was running all over the restaurant we were doing breakfast, we just couldn't keep but we couldn't keep them both kind of we couldn't play defense very well. Charlee just looks at me. She's like, Hey, we're in the chaos right now, but this is this is Christmas at times like these are the moments you have to We're in the memory making business. We're making memories even though it sucks right now.

00:06:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, like really, because if we were at home, I don't think this would be happening.

00:06:31
Speaker 3: I don't know if you I don't know if you guys can see back there, like that's a battle wound. Let me see, that's a battle room from Scotty just trying to get her. No, not a hickey. This is Scotty grabbing my neck. She got her fingers in my nose like we're fighting at times when I'm trying to change your diaper. And again it's not I'm not on a high. It's not a high like changing table. We're we're on the bed. So I got it. I'm tapping into the low back mobility where I'm struggling at times, I'm just like Scotty. You have to stand still or you have to stay selling like hold in her legs. She's gripping me, she's scratching me. She's got some fight in or Scott'szilla's got some fight in or So you know it didn't come without a cost. That's all I'm saying.

00:07:10
Speaker 7: These are the moments where you look back and when your kids are teenagers and like they have this delusion of you don't care about me all this stuff, and you will think back it. Do you not remember twenty twenty five Christmas?

00:07:20
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:07:20
Speaker 7: Because I got videos photo while out here, I'm gonna show you exactly why I'm a good ass dad.

00:07:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, asking will how is New York? He's like, oh man, it was great.

00:07:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, got some scars, got some battle wounds, but it was fun.

00:07:32
Speaker 7: The little looking little sky little he's just ready, she said, my dad, if he even comes close. Yeah, taking some Well listen, good news about New York. The highs were high and the chaos was chaos. Yeah, that's exactly how I would say. Our trip to uh, Oklahoma and Texas, A and m was Hey.

00:07:47
Speaker 3: I got a message from Taylor saying like, hey, brother, be happy that you're out there doing Christmas in New York. I was like, I just put oh, was everything okay? And he's like, too much to talk about. I'll tell you them.

00:07:56
Speaker 7: I'll fulfill you when I see you next. But yeah, dude, first off, great weekend. Let's just give it that. The last vlog of twenty twenty five is in the books. Brett came with us. He was just a such a unique fatherly personality that came with us. Every time we get out of the car, he's like, uh, wallets and whatever, Waltson keys or we've got Walton keys. With all this, He's made a joke three times about the first night I was gonna have a six am wake up call to the point we're all thinking, this motherfucker really called Mike call us at six am to wake us up. So it was dude, it was awesome to have Brett and just like did a little bit of difference of him like being involved everything. I felt terrible for him at the end of the trip. We'll get there when we get there, and Boyce, for real, I know this is Will and I on a podcast, but you guys feel free to jump in for those that were there for this trip at any point if I'm missing anything. So the trip starts off like this. We obviously know that the College Football Playoff they're in charge of the credentials for the for the first weekend of culture Ball. So these schools are like, yeah, we can get you in, but really it's the Cultureable Playoff that has the last hey you can, you can you can have these guys credits that they're not credential There's a lot of moving pieces that clump can get way more to the weeds about we end up getting credentialed to be on the field for Oklahoma and for Texas A and M in their first playoff games. We head over to Oklahoma, the boys are fired up. We have a nice drive over. Our driver was incredible. We had this whole argument. We're volving around Timothy Shallowmey and Denzel Washington and will will Smith. We get into the stadium beaut beautiful. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get profiled in our uber. We had Weezer playing immediately when we got in there. That was a little crazy, but it is what it is. Sometimes you just got to keep it rolling no matter what, because we're guys that deal with adversity. We get to Oklahoma, you're popping out there. It's a nighttime. You're only getting the small little like what is what is Oklahoma? Norman Oklahoma? All about? Stadium in the outside of it was absolutely beautiful. It looks like a cathedral just across the street or some dorms that you're like, man, I can't. That's probably an incredible view to wake up every single day, go to class and see these boys love ball and they love the fall. And here we are in December, walk into the stadium, zero issues. Go down on the field. I see a couple guys we know we tap them up. Ty Simpson gives us a little bit of love. A couple of the boys from ESPNA there, Kirkie herb Street is there, Murray Kyler, Murray DAPs us up. We see Urban Meyer. I'm over there being like I walk up to him and go Ley, I heard you're considering the Michigan job, and we both laugh because we both know there's not a fucking chance in hell he's going to be the head coach for Michigan. So everything's going about as well as you can possibly go. The light show takes place. I'm in the middle of a conversation the boys were, I'm assuming a little bit underwhelmed by the light show.

00:10:37
Speaker 1: It just lacked the like the beat drop moment. Yeah, it was amazing, it was building, it was building, and then it never hit. Yeah, so there's a lot of meat left on the bone.

00:10:46
Speaker 2: And Bouncer, your favorite guy.

00:10:48
Speaker 7: He pissed me off. He was in there and honestly bless as hard as they would say in the South, like this dude was doing his absolute best to keep these Oklahoma fans engaged. But it definitely felt like, hey, this is the first playoff game in Oklahoma history. Like, I don't think there needs to be a whole lot for you to have to say to keep these fans into it. But he was getting on that mic every every break, every transition, every time out, every punt. He's like getting the crowd hype and I'm getting the player like less is more, brother less is more. Anyway, all good teams come out. And apparently there was a situation with JP. I was watching the game or something. I was I was near you, not next to you when this took place, So I'll let you speak on that.

00:11:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all know how it is. When we're on the field, we just grab some game footage, get some reactions to go in the vlog. Never been a problem before.

00:11:37
Speaker 3: It's showing the atmosphere and that's the number one thing we're trying to do is show people how loud the stadium is.

00:11:44
Speaker 1: And it was. I mean, they were rocking. And then a guy comes over and he's like, hey, who are you with. We're with ESPN. Oh, well you don't have rights to film this game. Only the broadcast people have rights to it. I was like, oh, this is kind of like what we are paid to do. It was film some of the game, get reaction, show off stadium. Well that's not allowed here. You need to put that camera away. I'm like, all right, no worries. I have an iPhone seventeen, so that.

00:12:14
Speaker 3: Sounds a little aggressive, little aggressive.

00:12:16
Speaker 1: Aggressive, the very like stern talk down on you tone, which was but you know, didn't talk back to him, complied, we'll figure it out. We always adapt and we make the most of it, and that's exactly what we did.

00:12:28
Speaker 7: It was so much of a non factor at this point in the game. I see JP on his phone. I'm like, bro, why aren't you using the camera? He's like, some guys that I couldn't use it. That's literally all I knew about that situation at the time. It is just, Hey, the guys that I couldn't do it, let me use his iPhone seventeen, which I think we're finding out might be the best camera in the world. Crazy, some of the things you were able to pull off so that happens. We're watching the game, we're all so into it. Cole Kublic keeps coming up to me between every single break talking about the offensive lines breaking down. Here's why you got a guy thinking we're talking. It's a lot of fun. But that wind chill was a nasty motherfucker on us. It was It was aggressive.

00:13:06
Speaker 2: Forty nine degrees on the weather app. But because it was fifteen to twenty miles chills, it felt like thirty on the app is what it said, and it truly did feel like it was below freezing. There's videos you'll see in the vlog of the flags. You have all these flags that line the stadium, and they did not for one second the whole game. Did they not are appointing the direction the wind's going. It was we got lucky being on the field, Yeah, because I feel for those people who are up in the top deck they were probably getting eating halted. Yeah, because it had to be a lot colder.

00:13:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was. It was freezing. So we start to get towards, uh, the halftime, and boys are starting to get hungry. Jared's been mentioning a couple of things about wanting to snacky. I'm like, duded. He kind of just kind of showed up, did he not? Like he he was the first guy. Oh we're not gonna eat, there's no food, Like JP kind of just invited you on this trip. You gotta fall back a little bit, like sometimes we don't get to eat till lake go ahead.

00:13:55
Speaker 1: That's what Brett he probably like tass me on the shoulder during the game, he goes, so you guys grabbed dinner. I was like, oh, you know, sometimes we don't really get it, but we'll go to the press box and grab something.

00:14:06
Speaker 7: Right because yeah, if you're ever in a pinch, the last thing we want to do is kind of like go to the concession stand because things can get a little hairy. Photos you get draped over a little bit, which is great, we love it, but sometimes we're trying to operate. So we go halftime happens. We go up to I think at least half a dozen people staff members asking hey, we've got this press this press pass, where do we need to go to like kind of warm up, grab a bite real quick.

00:14:32
Speaker 3: And where does this credential get us.

00:14:33
Speaker 7: There's a point where we go up a flight of stairs. Realize that's the place. We go down the flight of stairs, we go to one set of elevators. Those aren't the set of elevators. We end up in the middle of the of the concourse area where the elevators go up to the media and there's a door closing. We sprint to the door and just boom hit it out and I'm like, hey, sorry about that we're going up to six. Now this is where my brain gets a little foggy. But I remember us, our group getting in the elevator. There was a gentleman to our right that I did not know who had a quarter zip Oklahoma sweater on a girl, a man, and then a lady who's handling the elevator. Am I correct and saying all that at.

00:15:11
Speaker 2: This points, but yes.

00:15:13
Speaker 7: Two elevator attendants, two people that were not quarter zip our crew, were like, hey, we're headed towards someone said to go to six. We have the credentials. This guy says to us six is only for local riders and TV. We say we're with ESPN. He doesn't say it to us. He says under his breath, there's no place here for ESPN. And it's kind of like one.

00:15:37
Speaker 3: Of those things.

00:15:38
Speaker 2: He got very weird for. He got tight for a minute, everywhere puckered up like okay.

00:15:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, And the two people who are not in our crew but also in the elevator, they're feeling the tension as well. Elevator only goes up to the sixth floor, opens up, and this guy storms out, and we kind of like this is the floor we were told to go to, but I think we're just not going to go to this floor. So they're like, hey, take us down to the five.

00:16:02
Speaker 3: I shouldn't get off.

00:16:03
Speaker 7: Yeah, it feels like we shouldn't take us out. We'll go down to five because at the end of the day, we're just thinking, get warm, grab a bite. We have credentials.

00:16:10
Speaker 2: It's twenty minutes.

00:16:11
Speaker 7: We're not trying to be disrespectful. This is kind of how everybody has operated every other place we've ever been, so we think this is kind of how things roll.

00:16:19
Speaker 3: Every school's kind of rolled it out for Yeah, we go, we go to we have the.

00:16:22
Speaker 7: Fifth floor, realize there's no food there. We get back in the elevator and the elevator attendant is like, what are you guys trying to do? We're like, oh, we're trying to get food. We're just really trying to warm up and get food. She goes, that's on six. They have Jimmy. They just about Jimmy Jones up there, like that's where you guys need to go, and we're like you sure. It's like yes, tasas to six. Takes us a minute to get there because we end up doctor seussing it going down to get back up. We get to six, we see a couple of people. We're wapping up some local riders and stuff like that. Everyone's being pretty cool. There's no food, so we're like, I guess we're just getting warm and we're gonna whenever we get to Texas or on the way to the airport, will grab some food. All of a sudden, hot dogs start rolling through Beamon's eyes. They're that big. We start walking over and there's a line. This line's curling where Zigzag gonna like it. We're not in the fast past for Disney World. We're sitting there, we're waiting. We're talking with with everybody else with the local writers. Get our hot dogs. Demon snags two. That's probably the worst thing we did the whole weekend. Vehem probably shouldn't have grabbed two hot dogs. So we will concede to that dude. We we get the hot dogs. Demon scarfs a hot dog down so fat. He didn't put ketch of a mustard. He raw dogs this dog and we're kind of giving him a hard time. We're all kind of laughing about it. I get to the ketch of a mustard, fill my little get my little hot dog together. I'm a biting half into this thing. I'm starting to warm up. My belly is starting to feel a little full. This quarter zip guy walks up to me and verbally brings the fingers over. It doesn't poke the chest, but you say, he's he's about ready to put some hands on hands and he's I thought, I told you, guys, I already talked to your buddy here about his camera. I told you guys in the elevator you're not allowed on six, and here you are eating a hot dog. I'm gonna kindly ask you to leave one, very kindly. Jared's got a hot dog. Really, this is real.

00:18:07
Speaker 2: It's very quiet in there too. It is so like everyone around us is watching and seeing this happen in real time.

00:18:13
Speaker 7: Yeah. My personality, as you guys know nine times out of ten, is let me get a little verbal, like like not like fighting, but like chirpy with this guy makes him, yeah, a little passive, something like get it under his skin. And then big boy and me. He did it on the elevator too, And I'm just like, I didn't want the elevator.

00:18:34
Speaker 3: You guys aren't allowed to go.

00:18:35
Speaker 7: He said, you guys are all out of six at this point. This guy's got no credentials on him. I think maybe this is a local writer who just hates bustling with the boys, like doesn't like kind of like the comedy scene. We haven't been in the game long enough to be as like big as we. I don't have no idea.

00:18:48
Speaker 2: Everyone in the elevator too before we came back up the second time. Once he got off, immediately was like that was really weird. And they're like that, what what was going on? And we're like, we don't.

00:18:59
Speaker 7: Know because there was people on the elevator with us. We're also like, we're supposed to go up to six two, but we kind of they didn't go as well. So this guy kind of bodies me. I fall back. I don't see a wordom Jared keeps the hot dog in his mouth the entire time the guy's talking to us. So we're just like dumbfounded. How this dude just kind of came out in front of all these people, never introduced himself, never introduced him. You never say anything. I take my hot dog, three quarters of a hot dog, I throw it in the trash. We don't say a word. It's all I had, bro, It's all I had other than just like complete confidence.

00:19:31
Speaker 2: You missed the trash can on the rapper, which at first I thought Taylor threw the hot dog and just missed the trash can.

00:19:38
Speaker 7: Could you imagine miss And then I'm like, yeah, looking up the hot dog and then I put in the duction. Yeah, hot dog hits the rapper, kind of floats and does this little thing down to the ground. We go to the elevator and we're kind of the elevator is taking forever and he's hovering, and I'm thinking, we gotta find out who this guy is. Like he's kind of becoming a me at this point, Like I didn't even know I had to follow this man for the rest of his life and see what he's up to. We end up not even not even doing it. This guy is the most unapproachable human being I've ever kind of came across. In a while, we get on the elevator. Who's on the elevator. The two people from the original elevator ride with this guy and they're like, you kicked out too. We're like, yes, go down, And that was essentially that situation the rest of the trip. The rest of the Oklahoma game was awesome. We go back on the field fourth quarter, hits the guy that's in the military. It's like, hey, it's gonna be fifty cent. We're like, yeah, that'd be hilarious. All of a sudden, legit fifty cents fifty feet away from us, and we're like, how do we meet this guy? Like, how do we go up and shake his hand? My brother, you're the greatest troll to ever live on the face of the earth. Ends up not happening. I did walk up to the thing. I'm like, hey, I love to meet fifty and they're like, you were not with this crew. You can't come in here, like all good security guys, right, yeah, yeah, there's no place for ESPN here. Yeah yeah yeah. So we leave Eve probably five minutes that's in the fourth because the game is so good. Yeah, We're like, we'll stay for one more series. We'll stay for one more series. We end up getting to the airport flying out. We grabbed Bronze a Texas, Oklahoma. Broms. Yeah, Broms solid Solid Solid, wouldn't put it in my top five. But also if someone's like, let's go to Bromps, I'm going to brons it solid little place. Get on the plane, get to Texas and M right around one o'clock. Probably yeah, maybe a little blio, yeah yeah, go to sleep. All good, great next great day, Texas A and M, Miami tomorrow. No idea Oklahoma and Alabama's gonna pull that off. Can't believed Alabama came back from a seventeen point deficit. This is incredible. Wake up in the morning, cars picking us up at nine. I wake up at eight fifteen. I look at my phone. Jeremy Clump, Hey, call me when you get up. I'm thinking this can't be good. This can't be good at all. So I immediately call him. I'm still wiping my eyes. I'm just waking up, and Clump tells me that some guy at Oklahoma we don't know who, we have anything, any person we would say it is is just speculation. At this point, still still used himself, so I have I don't know. Calls Texas A and M and the college football playoff and says, these guys busting with the boys. Essentially, we're trying to cause a terrorist attack in Oklahoma. That's that's how it was truly framed. To me. Those aren't my words. Those are the words that were used to me when it's explaining what we did at Oklahoma. He tried to get our credentials pulled at college at Texas, A and M, so much so that Clump's like, hey, I didn't get to speak to you. I spoke to JP. He broke it all down for me. So I'm like, okay, so we're good. He's like, we'll see. We end up meeting somebody from ESPN. That person we met at ESPN to handus our credentials are like, don't go through that tunnel or that tunnel. There are people waiting for you specifically to not let you on the field.

00:23:03
Speaker 1: And we have the passes.

00:23:04
Speaker 7: We have the passes. They're waiting for you to not let you on the field.

00:23:09
Speaker 3: So we get there.

00:23:10
Speaker 7: There's a in the miscommunication of somebody's here, so we go there, but they got pulled over here, so we have to go to a different location. It's thirty minutes before the game, so we go on the field.

00:23:20
Speaker 2: And also the passes are now it's pre half in post and you have to leave the field thirty minutes before the game starts. It's thirty two minutes on the clock. I think when we were walking in there.

00:23:29
Speaker 7: Yeah, and we're told this is what the passes say, but honestly, the same thing that's worked for Oklahoma and worked for last year, like stay, you guys are gonna be just fine. This is kind of the process and we're just abiding or like, hey, this is where people say that are much more above us. We'll have much more pull in this world than we do that are telling us to do this. We're gonna do.

00:23:48
Speaker 3: This, and people the majority of the time they kind of take care of us.

00:23:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh majority, like ninety nine point nine. Everybody put Oklahoma, And honestly, I don't want to put Oklahoma in this.

00:23:59
Speaker 3: This is this is I hate hearing this because I got my boy Dabson, coach Dobson.

00:24:03
Speaker 7: I know man, strength, staff, strength, staff.

00:24:05
Speaker 3: That's my guy. I hate feeling like Oklahoma's gonna have to be dead to me after this whatever I hear the rest of the story.

00:24:11
Speaker 7: And the crazy thing is too is like playing a couple of layers back, just playing it back in my head right now, What do you think this individual is thinking during in the Red River rivalry when we were at that game, Like, I don't think these motherfuckers get on here. There must have been something one of us must have done something to him in a past life for the present life for him to act like this. And once again we're just assuming that this is the guy that called the CFP on us. It could have been something completely different. We get to the stadium, we get on the field. We're not on the field more than five minutes before some nice lady walks up and goes, hey, very nice, very nice, because we've been Yeah. She's like, hey, just so you know, like your passes, you're gonna you're gonna get kicked off. I'm giving you a warning. Someone's gonna come up, but you're good for now. And I'm like, hey, I'm in the mode now like word is clearly traveling fast and it's a word that's not correct. So I'm gonna just kind of to play nice guy through the whole entire thing from here on out. I tell her, Hey, no problem, whenever you want to get out of here, we'll get out of here. Teams go up, national anthem hasn't even happened yet. She comes back, She's like, you're getting you're getting the acts now. All good, stand there, get out. We go up the tunnel. The moment that the flyover happens and you just here when we're like, oh my god, I cannot believe we just missed that incredible moment. We're like, what do we do now? We show it to somebody staff memberg by the way that you guys people that are running at your schools, give the staff members a little bit more information, because those poor bastards are doing their best to help us, but just didn't have the information to like get us where we need to go. There's no seat for us, there's no suite for us, there's no nothing. So we go to like the top.

00:25:46
Speaker 2: At this point, people are pulling up ticketing apps and looking to purchase actual physical seats in just gin pop while.

00:25:52
Speaker 3: You're currently holding a credential that allows you.

00:25:55
Speaker 2: It says I'm on field pass.

00:25:56
Speaker 7: Yes.

00:25:59
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, meanwhile, Deep State college football try Yeah.

00:26:03
Speaker 7: But this might have been we might got kicked as a will college football. He's over here in New York at the Rockefeller Center.

00:26:10
Speaker 3: Snippets of coffee.

00:26:13
Speaker 7: Start a weekend because he thought the college football playoff was wrong.

00:26:16
Speaker 1: Starting that up.

00:26:17
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's starting that up. We go to this area and you.

00:26:20
Speaker 3: Personally didn't go to the games because I was boycotting the college of the playoff. I just told her about I was doing Christmas in New York and I was boycotting. Dude.

00:26:28
Speaker 7: We get out there and I know probably how the boys are feeling. I can only speak for myself. I was livid internally, and I'm thinking to myself, fall back for forty eight, don't make a fuss out of this. We got a vlog to make. Let's make the best out of the situation. I think we did.

00:26:43
Speaker 3: It was our.

00:26:45
Speaker 2: Highest performing club of the weekend too.

00:26:47
Speaker 7: What was that clip? Yeah, because we're kind of standing there, I look at JP. I go, I'm gonna try to get to that corner and you just see if you can film me.

00:26:53
Speaker 3: Once you finally see me up there.

00:26:55
Speaker 2: With that, I'm better and play because I roll with Taylor, because like, I'll try to get another angle. He's like, should a big bucket of popcorn? I'm like absolutely, I think that made it just even better.

00:27:04
Speaker 3: Just sitting wind blowing up there and I walk up.

00:27:07
Speaker 7: Dude, By the way, them stairs ain't no joke, bro, Them things are like straight up. I get to that corner and I'm kind of doing the thing and the guys are like, hey, you two the one like, like, what are you doing up here? I was like, dude, just trying to enjoy some good college football man. Give them the popcorn, watch them college and not enjoy the game like everybody else. Kick me out of here too. Yeah yeah, so buddy, dude.

00:27:34
Speaker 3: And I'm sitting there and I wroams me out bro standing room.

00:27:38
Speaker 7: A couple like a mom and a dad who recognize this because their son's like, hey, busting with the boys at the game. They're like, can we get like where do I get those hats? And I literally have a hat buckled on my uh on my belt loop. I'm like, oh, you guys can have this one, it says dad. It's for their kid. And he's like, hey, we really appreciate this. Puts it Jared and goes, can you buy that one on be like somewhere and we're like, I'm like, go, Jared, give me your hand, give me your hat. So we Jared gives in the hat, he gets a beanie like and I'm just dude, I am so frustrated at the situation. I'm frustrated all the things I think we did a great job at the end of it. But I feel bad for Brett because but it's like, hey, I'll leave whenever you guys want to leave. I'm like, let's get out of here.

00:28:17
Speaker 3: And Brett, by the way, massive Miami, Hurricane, Massive Miami. Yeah, he's one of nothing more than to come on one of the trips, right, and then Hurricanes in the college football playoffs to.

00:28:25
Speaker 7: The poor where I'm apologic. I'm like, dude, it does not usually go like this. It's usually so much more easy.

00:28:31
Speaker 2: And on the top of the on top of all of the destruction taking place, the game is so gross. Miami's won for four on field goals. It's just it's pathetic.

00:28:41
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's bad.

00:28:42
Speaker 3: It's a battle.

00:28:44
Speaker 1: It was.

00:28:44
Speaker 2: You're right, it was on par though for the day. Rat, and I feel like you, I'm now kind of understanding how infuriated you were, because you kept it very well together.

00:28:53
Speaker 7: I appreciate that. I do appreciate that I did have to mention it a couple of times, but yeah, I was. I was tired about the situation. So, oh, we just just to put this in a bow for you real quick. We end up going to a bar corner pup or something like that.

00:29:07
Speaker 1: Something corner, something corner something, Grab a feast.

00:29:09
Speaker 7: It was a nice little meal, and then go to the plane. We watched the end of the game on the plane and I'm apologetic to Brett, like, man, I'm really sorry.

00:29:18
Speaker 1: Jared asleep in the corner.

00:29:20
Speaker 7: Yeah it went down like this, but that is essentially our trip.

00:29:23
Speaker 3: So you don't know. It's we're speculating, But the thought is is that old buddy from Oklahoma called A and M called the collegewable Playoff, basically ran a coup to keep the boys out.

00:29:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, trust me. I know he just explained the whole story. But we could not have been more respectful throughout the situation. And I was telling Clump, like, the main goal of us going to these games, especially in a place we've never been to like Oklahoma, we want to show off Oklahoma. We want everybody to know about the atmosphere and hype up Oklahoma up. Ultimately, this guy, he wants the same thing for Oklahoma. He wants it to be the best experience for media. YadA, YadA, YadA. But him going after us, now we initially we had the same goal. Now we're going the opposite way, and it's making it worse for Oklahoma, right And it's like, dude, we're on the same team.

00:30:13
Speaker 7: Let's say people are gonna watch the vlog and I'm sure, like the well the tier ones are gonna have a stale, bad taste in their mouth because of Oklahoma. And I can't help but feel some type of way about Oklahoma right now. I don't want to because it's not the player's faults off the coach's fault. It's definitely not dobs fault. Might be Dob's fault. But like everyone was, did you hit it all? No, obviously a game we had. Who's who's this dude right here?

00:30:36
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:30:37
Speaker 7: Oh you talking to doll about it?

00:30:38
Speaker 3: No, I'm saying that's what I would like on the field.

00:30:40
Speaker 7: Like, guts are flying so much, it's going on.

00:30:42
Speaker 3: Hey, James Dobson on the side, Like, can you get him to come here for a second.

00:30:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, And dude, like eighty thousand plus people, uh, coaches, players, the whole thing, everyone was great. It was this one guy. This one guy decided just like he hated busting with the boys or that thought we were incredibly stepping onto And because of that, I'm like kind of fuck Oklahoma now, and I hate that I feel that way. I want to feel a different.

00:31:08
Speaker 6: Way, can I and I do just want to bring this up. This is all allegations right now, nothing can be confirmed, but I think like the litll be the base god curse. There is now a bust and curse that we don't mean to throw on people, but a certain team d MD us that you know, it doesn't really work that way. You guys can't really come onto the sideline at our school. That team only won one game after that DM, they were in the top ten. They'll they'll remain a name point.

00:31:39
Speaker 7: It feels a little egotistical to feel like that we have that kind of power. I feel little like Jeremy Clump right now.

00:31:43
Speaker 6: Oklahoma then pulls that and Oklahoma loses. Texas A and M then pulls that. Texas A and M loses. I'm just saying there's a there's a pattern.

00:31:54
Speaker 7: I don't think A and M pulled anything. I think this is called it like college foball playoff. Once you get in the playoffs, they're running the show over the school, which is a very ESPN right.

00:32:04
Speaker 1: That's what I was getting confused on I'm like, what do you mean only the broadcast people have the rights to the game, Like we're with ESPN. This game is on a ESPN channel.

00:32:13
Speaker 3: Right, and these credentials say that we're able to access these points because every time we go to a game, like we're always very aware that, you know, very appreciative that we get the access that we do. And sometimes there's a little bit of an imposter syndrome going on, like while we're trying to get into the games, but everybody, every school we go to, whether they're fans of the show or whatnot, Like people come up to us and everybody is super helpful with helping us because we're not trying to do things that we're not supposed to do. We're like, hey, we're trying to be on our best behavior to come here and essentially show off the school, show off the team. We eventually become fans of the team. Then next thing you know, we got like eight favorite teams that were rooting forth throughout college football. But this one, it's like, yeah, dude, kind of cheps my ass to hear that this dude was essentially being an asshole, because you know, he's he like whatever, spot he's in, he's probably got a lot on his play dealing with everybody the day of the game. But to be an ass holding people right, especially if it's not like you guys weren't doing anything and it'd be like I told him not to stop filming or whatever. And it's like, bro, when you went up and say, hey, would you mind not filming X, Y and Z, like ESPN kind of has rights, like oh no, totally get it. I won't film anymore of the game. Here's usually what we do. And then there's almost like a mutual respect, like, oh, I totally understand that. Just make sure if you do film it be on the crowd, but just try not to do the game because they're they're tight wads. I'm making us have the rights and everything.

00:33:25
Speaker 7: I put yourself on our side.

00:33:26
Speaker 3: Is this almost relationship that's forming, Like you know, nobody's trying to do anything disrespectful while we're there.

00:33:31
Speaker 7: And I think there was a more than a couple of times I asked the boys, I'm like, could we have handled that any different any better? Is there any way we could have gone about it? Because dude, a couple of times I was feeling myself like kind of creeping up and then let me chirp, Let me chirp at this guy, let me do the But that's just even then, I was like, let me just fuck.

00:33:51
Speaker 2: I knew that we had done the right thing when Brett Mays was like, no, we couldn't have been more respectful.

00:33:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brett Boys and Grace, Yeah yeah, yeah.

00:34:02
Speaker 2: You think Brat's gonna make a mistake like this? Now we're on his team. I think we're on the right side of history.

00:34:07
Speaker 7: And we're talking like my big concern is, like was is when Clump calls me and he's like people at ESPN called me. We had this conversation, and the people that called him from ESPN, I know what they've had to deal with in the past with other people. And I don't want the narrative to start like, oh, bustle with the Boys is like X, Y and Z, because I like to believe we try to handle ourselves the most inviting way possible. Fans, people that allow us to have access and everything, so shitty situation.

00:34:34
Speaker 3: You know, then you're just calling this bizarre world because some people are wanting to be helpful and it's like, where are we supposed to go. This is what we have. Like if we're not allowed to be there, that's totally fine. It feels like we'repped. Everybody keep saying we're supposed to be there, but then we go into the dudes like getting the finger at us and everything else to get out of there. You almost just don't know what.

00:34:49
Speaker 7: To do right And to be fair to this guy, they did have a seventeen point lead and they were fumbling the bag at that point when when he did see us. Anyway, that's the weekend.

00:35:01
Speaker 3: So is Oklahoma dead to us?

00:35:04
Speaker 7: Man at this point? Dude, it's too early to say, but yeah.

00:35:08
Speaker 3: I gotta call. I gotta call. I gotta call man.

00:35:10
Speaker 7: I don't even know if you can well, I mean I can talk to him. I think I think you let you let this clip get the Dobson and the first phone call he makes you you decline it. I called back five minutes later.

00:35:26
Speaker 3: There's a lot of players on the team that's like fans of the show, no doubts, no doubt. So bums me out could because this could be a spot that we'd want to gould before this happeneds like Oklahoma would have been a spot during our spring tour, fall camp or whatever it might be.

00:35:39
Speaker 7: Right and gay Biker who I played with the Titans. He he came in the same year as me. We're chopping it up. We're talking about game plans, the whole thing. Like he's a big piece of Oklahoma. He does a lot of like a radio show for them. He's really in the weeds with that school. He's like, you're gonna love it here. It's incredible, my buddy. It seems like it's an awesome place to be around. And then it just kind of goes bad.

00:36:00
Speaker 1: M hm.

00:36:02
Speaker 7: Tough. Yeah, But listen, boys, I hope he has enjoyed the blog because it's regardless.

00:36:57
Speaker 1: Coolest thing about Ties that when we went to Alabama spring tour, Book was telling us about him, like, hey, one of our quarterbacks really wants to meet you. And remember this is two years ago, so Ties like a freshman, he third string and just hype to be at Alabama. And he comes up, introduces himself, extremely polite kid. And to see him do college football the old school way, wait his turn, become a quarterback of a top team with a chance to win a championship, and to know he's one of the boys is an awesome story.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: Arc.

00:37:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, we were touching on that too when he got off as well. But you'll laugh at this. Book tries to face out. I don't answer because Charles sleeping like the kids are sleeping around because we had stay our I had stayed up and watched the conclusion of the game, and Book tries face timing me right away to talk noise bro and then as tis like you know one of my best friends, Saler Booker, and I'm like, I went back to it. I'm like, yo, book was trying to FaceTime me talking noise whenever the Crimson Tide came back and won the game. But yeah, great interview. I can't wait to have him on the bus in the offseason because there's there's some questions that we definitely wanted to ask or go. Yeah, but it's a fun interview.

Speaker 7: Hey, are we rolling all right?

00:41:39
Speaker 1: Teddy?

00:41:39
Speaker 7: We're rolling? We know you got only a finite amount of time. Buddy. First off, I know there's only three of us in the bus right now, but let's give Ty Simpson a round of applause for coming in, absolutely giving me probably tearing my chest this weekend. When he comes and you dap me up, you throw that shoulder pad into me, and you're like, be a fucking wolf. I don't even know what you said. What did you say? Because you hit me up. You hit me with some energy that I was.

00:42:02
Speaker 3: Not juice when I had fo When I'm looking at the scirts like, oh damn, this kid's ready to go.

00:42:07
Speaker 7: Because when they're like they started backing us up and they're like, hey, Alabama's coming, Alabama's coming. I know he the boy tie like he messes with the squad. Hopefully I get to see him. He starts power walking his ass toward me and I'm like, all right, dap.

00:42:19
Speaker 3: Up, hug here we go.

00:42:20
Speaker 7: This motherfucker body bags me and he says scream something at me. Two things went in my head. One kid's got juice. Second thing is I wonder if you saw ESPN and that's what he's commenting on.

00:42:33
Speaker 4: So yeah, man, I was I was fired up, right, Like you know, once in a lifetime game. Knew what was on the line, knew kind of the energy going into the game about you know, the the script of you know Alabama and how everybody, like I said, wrote us off.

00:42:51
Speaker 3: Will Compton.

00:42:53
Speaker 4: Saw the boy, right, and uh got fired up and he told me all the time, right, keep that ball, I keep it, keep it tucked. And I just told you I was like, I'm a wolf today. You know, I'm I'm a wolf. Let's go. And Uh that was the model going into the game.

00:43:09
Speaker 3: Dude, Yeah, that does fire me up from your perspective for the team's mind because as players, you kind of you get motivated. You alluded to, but everybody writing you off. You know the thing with the you see us all picking Oklahoma on ESPN, Like in your mind as a player, what do you feel like the locker room was feeling that was at stake? Beyond hey, we're in the playoffs getting an opportunity, Like what kind of chip was on your shoulder?

00:43:34
Speaker 4: I mean we just kind of had nothing to lose, you know what I mean? Of course, you know, having the days off, right, it was That's all everybody ESPN talked about was just you know Alabama didn't look good in the SEC Championship. They've fallen off the offense the last couple of weeks. You know, the defense can't stop the run. Just a whole bunch of just you know, talk that we didn't really appreciate, right, and people didn't you know, understand and uh value what we went through throughout the season, right, you know, the first game we get it, you know, didn't play our best. And then we go through an eight game stretch of you know, a hard, hard schedule, right we uh you know, go to Athens and get it done there. Then you know we play uh, Vanderbilt, who is you know, a really good team. Uh, then Missouri, then Tennessee, then go to a hostile environment South Carolina, just you know, back backs against the wall every game in the SEC, and then you know, we we drop on the Oklahoma which and honestly, right like if we just had a couple of plays back that you know probably probably is a different type of game. And then we didn't put our best foot forward the SEC Championship. So just the narrative of like Alabama isn't who they are, They don't have Saban, they don't have the same jews on the same squad like they used to. It kind of you know, to me, honestly, just kind of pissed me off because I was like, you know, why, why does everybody bring up the past? Like you know, I get that. You know, I came here with Saban, I had, you know, Ryce Young, I intersted as my teammates are you know the boy Tyler Booker who is my best friend? Like everybody wants to talk about that, but like nobody wants to talk about the twenty twenty five team and what we've done. Like everybody, you know, didn't expect us to make the playoff. We made the playoff. And then you know they're you know, writing this off about the Oklahoma game, like all right, let's let's do it, man, And you know, I was just excited. The whole team was excited. We have a team players only meeting every Friday before the game, or it would have been Thursday. And I just got up up and I was like, guys, I ain't got nothing to say, man, Like, let's go, y'all know how I feel. I need this game back. Y'all need this game back. We got, we got everything to prove. Let's go do it.

00:45:39
Speaker 3: God, hey, that exit. It went fleeting. But he mentioned Tyler Booker being his best friend. Yeah, Tyler Booker facetimed me, was facetiming me. Right after that game. I was in bed because I was out in New York with the fan doing the Christmas thing. So I had kind of the family in the room with me. They were all sleeping as I stayed up to watch the rest of the game. But book is face time of me at the end of the game. I didn't end up answering just because I was around everybody. But now that makes sense, makes sense.

00:46:05
Speaker 7: It makes even more sense now because you know the boys talk. It's like he had this team meeting on Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, He's calling, Hey, you gotta get out a will confidence ash. Yeah, I told you, I told you, yeah, what I say about them boys.

00:46:17
Speaker 4: Hey, he called me after he made sure that to tell me he was calling you.

00:46:21
Speaker 7: Will yeah, ty one day, dude. One thing that happens in the sports media world is this, right. People see a team, they see the Cribson tie, they see what they've done the last twenty years. All of a sudd you guys lose to Oklahoma. You don't look great, So hey, let's make a storyline out of everything. And I sit there and I'm like, I kind of understand it, Like maybe Tye's hurt, Maybe something's going on. They got some receivers that are dropping balls. Maybe Oklahoma, Oklahoma can get them twice. And you guys are hearing all that narrative. What's going through the mind of your psyche when you're down seventeen?

00:46:55
Speaker 3: Oh when when.

00:46:56
Speaker 7: Oklahoma you're like, hey, we're gonna do this, guys, I got nothing to say. We're gonna you know, I need this game, you all need this game. We gotta get this back. Let's prove everybody wrong. And then you're halfway the second quarter and it's like, oh shit, maybe they were right, you know that kind of feeling because your guys' offense wasn't didn't do a whole lot in the second in the first half, like you guys were kind of I think at one point, you guys had three drives, nine plays and five total yards and I'm looking I'm looking up at the board being like, dude, what is going on? Yeah with this squad? And so but then you guys obviously have the pick six. You throw a nice ball to get to the juice going with the boys in the second chord that iever believe you guys are going this incredible run, but what is going through your mind when you're down that much? And the narratives has been as loud as it has been.

00:47:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, the give a little background right that whole week, like going forward, I've been watching the Last Dance and then the Man in the Arena with Tom Brady and it just fired me up, right. You know, everybody was talking about, you know, in the last day. It's just you know, Jordan's mentality. The Bulls, you know, a playoff game. Uh one time to where he had like three media guys sitting on the front row and they had like, you know, uh picked the Bulls to get swept or something, and Jordan was like, you know, we took care of you last last game, took care of you the game before, We're going to take care of you this game. And then you know Tom Brady, Uh, he just talked about you know, the team and how you know, his how he got better towards you know the end of his career, just of how much he learned and uh, just about you know, the Patriots and doing his job, you know, all the comeback victories or whatever, and it really made sense to me, right because in that moment, you know, everybody knew it was gonna be hard. Right like on the road playoff game Friday night, down seventeen to nothing, right like that, that's a really really good team and you know, a really good defense. So down seventeen to nothing, right like, all all we needed was a chance. You just needed a spark. And so you know, going up and down the sideline like guys like, we gotta believe man, just you know, take your time, do your job. That's all I asked. If everybody does their job, like, we're gonna be fine. We just need something to get going. And sure enough, right third down they played man. Man, the last like four third downs that we've had, we get a you know, a lot of runs, a good route, get a good good protection. That was a spark we needed to flip the field. And once that happened, I knew I was like, let's go, man, like, just just give me the ball, you know, some type of some type of just spark and you know, that's that's all we needed. And once we got that spark, everybody was just like all right, like we can do this. You know what I mean, I got a couple of stops, got a couple you know, I gotta turnover, right, Like that's the name of football, you guys, know, Man, it just is a you know, a great game, fun game, and you know you just gotta gotta believe, man, Like so many things can happen in the game, but like, like I said, you gotta have that wolf mentality of like just let's go, man, Like give the the ball, read the rock and roll, let's compete. You know, let's let's hang out and ball for the boys.

00:50:03
Speaker 3: As you guys are taking over that game, talk to me about what it was like playing in that atmosphere. You guys are in the SEC, so you played in a lot of chaotic atmospheres. But was there a difference going into Norman knowing that it was a playoff game?

00:50:16
Speaker 4: Oh? Absolutely, I mean, you know last year, everybody knows what happened, right, Like, same type, you know, environment a little different because it wasn't a playoff game, but night game. You know, just rocking and rolling, but you can just feel the energy coming in and then you know, running out pre game, the student sections fill it up, I'm throwing you know, I'm warming up, and I got guys, you know, in my ears. It reminded me of the pick six that I threw at in Tuscaloosa and then the like show and the next thing, you know, fifty cent comes out. It's like, man, is this part of a movie? Like, what's going on?

00:50:51
Speaker 3: Dude?

00:50:52
Speaker 4: I mean, but you.

00:50:53
Speaker 3: Guys embraced that part though I saw you out there. I saw you out there. Get don't let a white boy get a little bit of motion though.

00:50:59
Speaker 4: Vanilla now come on, But dude, it was I mean it was electric, man, Like playing the SEC. There's nothing like yet, you know, Auburn, South Carolina. Anytime we get to, you know, play in an atmosphere like that, I love it just because you know, that's switch you dream of as a kid.

00:51:15
Speaker 1: Dude.

00:51:15
Speaker 7: We were sitting there right as a third quarter was ending in this Airborne guy who did the flyover, he's standing right next to us, and they're like, you know, hey, there's be a fourth quarter between the fourth quarter performance taking place, and I kind of say to JP, one of our guys, I'm like, man, who do you think it's gonna be? And the dude that's in the military. He's like fifty cent and we're like, yo, that would be just nuts for his fifty cent.

00:51:38
Speaker 3: And then it comes over.

00:51:39
Speaker 7: He's on the big screen. He's like, hey, ballah, it says whatever, and then many men like oh my.

00:51:44
Speaker 3: And he starts walking. At that point, You're like, holy.

00:51:46
Speaker 7: Shit, dude, this is fifty cent. Like I just got done watching the Diddy documentary. This guy is the fucking man out here right thing, and I'm literally watching him perform in front of everybody. You can just tell his comps always put a couple of pounds on. He's living the dream all that thing. And I start to pivot and turn and I look over at the ocle. I'm like, there's no way Oklahoma loses his game. Now, there's no way they're driving the whole thing. I look over Oklahoma sideline is kind of like chilling, kind of hanging out. There's gone a couple of guys, and I look at the Alabama sideline and Alabama sideline is losing their mind. They're all like half the team is over on like the fifth like in the middle of the field, getting all excited and stuff like that. And then you go on this press conference and you're like, yeah, I didn't even know he was there. Why did you think you should lie to the media and pretend like you didn't think that?

00:52:32
Speaker 4: Said no, like I didn't know that he was like actually there. And then like you know, of course, I know you know many men in the song we play it, you know, every Friday before we get on the plane to go to where we're going. And then like Caten Proctor like tap me uh and he was He's coming out of the tunnel and I was like, oh my god, like let's go. And then he just fired me up right, so like it was dude, we embraced that stuff, you know what I mean, like just being there, being in a playoff game. That's what I told the guys, you know, the night before the game, like you know, I thank them and I was like, guys, like this is gonna be awesome. This is something that we're gonna tell like our kids kids, like you know, we're gonna remember this forever, and you know, just embrace whatever happens and have fun with it. You're with your guys, like there's no other team I'd rather be with. And then twenty twenty five team going into this environment, and you know that's that's just what we did. And when that you know, fifty cent came out and I was like, let's go, man, like it's on the ride.

00:53:31
Speaker 7: I love that, dude.

00:53:32
Speaker 3: How how important was the the the downtime for the healthier football team after the SEC championship?

00:53:40
Speaker 4: Huge, dude. Just so I mean y'all, y'all understand, right, like one, you know, playing the SEC in our schedule right like every week, it's just like the NFL type you know what I mean, just you know, different different type of players, different type of vibes, just you know, taking them beating each week. You know. Unfortunately, you know, with with that, like we had some guys beating up, so you know, just being able to relax and like take a time off mentally and physically, it was so big, and it you know, kind of showed you know in the game, right just taking a breath is what you need, you know, because we're going you know, seven days a week, just whether it's meetings, walk throughs, practice like at the facility, getting treatment just is a full time job. So you know, those ten days were just so big for us to just relax as a as a group and just hang out is what we needed.

00:54:31
Speaker 3: Talk about the leadership of coach Debor. We've had him on a couple of times. We're big fans of his as far as talking culture and everything else. You can just feel that he's got he's got that it, that it factor when leading a football team. But with all the noise that was going around Coach Debor leading up to this band of game, with all of the talks of potential Michigan and again all of the media noise, how were you, guys, how how is that handled throughout the week? Player? Maybe from a player perspective, was there messaging and meetings about it, about it getting addressed? But talk about coach de Boor for a minute. Uh, with the week leading up, with all the noise on the outside.

00:55:12
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it starts with him, right, like just his leadership and what he shows as a head coach. It starts with him and then it trickles down through everything else. But that's you know, one of the reasons why I respect Coach the Boarder so much is one right, me being here with Coach Saban being one of the reasons why I came him leaving, And then you know, Coach the board wanting to, you know, have the opportunity to coach after him, right, Like not many guys would want to coach after the goat, you know what I mean, Like being able to take on that challenge and you know, all the expectations, right, Like, that's one reason that I respect him. Another reason is, you know, with all that noise going on about Michigan right earlier in the year about Penn State, like nobody really knew, you know, and nobody really knows now, like all coach the board you know has talked about it is just Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, and y'all saw it during the game, like none of it, you know, none of it distracted us. That Alabama is what he cares about and preaches and that's what he is going to continue to preach about. He just wants to be in a moment in the present. He talks about being one and oh and this is where he wants to be. And you know, that's just a testament to him, right of not letting the outside noise distract our team. And you know what he does because we're on a mission right now. And that's the way. You know, each game you can go one and oh, right, you know, first off, we beat Oklahoma, right, so now we go play a really good Indiana team in the Rose Bow and that's you know, our job and our mindset.

00:56:39
Speaker 7: Yeah, the classic Big ten versus SEC about to take place, no doubt, Killing too bore his culture, his leadership, everything like man would look fantastic, amazing will You're very lucky to have him, But you're talking about you came in under Saban. Saban decides, Hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna get out of here. I don't like the landscape of football. Whatever his decisions were, probably he is the goat of all college football. You're a five star and you're sitting behind a quarterback for a while, and this new nil era is Hey, it doesn't There's really not a whole lot of loyalty with the schools. It's more about where can I go get mine? Where can I go play? What about your mindset was like, Okay, the coach I committed to is now retiring. I don't know much about this killingd boor guy, what made you stay in Tuscaloosa?

00:57:21
Speaker 4: It was hard. I'm gonna be honest with you, guys. Uh, just with everything going on on the opportunities seeing you know other people who you know, I knew I could beat out and you know we're better than It was very difficult, but you know, going going to Alabama, I always had a you know mindset going in of right, like, you know, what do I want out of, you know, my college career and I've always wanted to be you know, the best that I can be, uh and playing the in the NFL and getting recruited by Saban. He always talks about, you know, creating value for yourself, you know, always whether it's you know, on the field or off off the field, and he said that you know, Alabama is the you know, the place to do that, whether it's with football or off the field with you know, marketing or you know media or just being you know in general with a with a degree. So you know, with everything going on right and seven retires, you know, I'm show shocked just as everybody else. I'm like, man, this is you know. I chose to come back. Literally like two days before I had a conversation with him like, hey, coach, you know what should I do? And you know we talked about it and he said, you know, I get it. If you want to leave. But you know, I know you, and I know what you wanted in recruiting, and you know, if you want to create value for yourself and you want, uh, you know, to be a first round draft pick, you know this is uh, this could be a great story for you and you could leave a legacy here. And so I thought about it, prayed about it, and I was like, you know what, like, you're right, And the next thing, you know, he retires. I'm sitting there and I'm sitting there and I'm like, well, you know that he just lied to me. But also as a coach's son, like I understand, I understand what was going on. I understand how he thought about it. We had a good conversation about it, and to this date we laugh about it. So, you know, going through the process, I'm like, you know, who's it gonna be, Who's it gonna be? And then you know, coach the board comes in and at first I'm like, man, you know, I don't know. Guy's a little you know, West Coast guy, like you know Pac twelve at the time, just took you know, went on the Washington But I knew his background and I knew he was an offensive guy. So you know, I'm like, you know what, you know, I chose Alabama. I love the SEC. You know, give it a shot, right, So I go through the spring. It was just like a complete one eighty just kind of you know, got to play ball. It was free, it was offensive minded and not defensive minded, and honestly, like it probably was better for my development in a sort of way just because it wasn't so it was honestly because I could just play, you know what I mean, Like the only reps that I got, you know, were I'm in the game some of the South Florida game, but it was all like defensive minded reps, and I could never you know, I had to prove to myself that I could actually play. I knew I could, you know, do it, whether it was you know, in high school or in in practice, but like during a game or during a you know, just a live action scrimmage. Like I need to prove to myself that I could, uh and coach the board. That's all all we did during the spring was just like, hey, y'all, just go play, man, Like just go do go do you And honestly, like I took a huge step and after that spring, coach talked to me and he was like, look, man, like, you know, I understand what's going on. You know, I understand Jalen's here, Like what do you want to do? And I was like, you know what, like why not? Like why why not stay? Why not do the abnormal thing and you know, prove to everybody that I want to be here and help out the team because I love my teammates. I could see myself on another sideline looking across and seeing Tyler Booker over there, seeing Parker Brailsford, Jeremy Bernard, you know, Deontay Lawston, and then you know, waiting one more year and then earning the respect of my teammates and trying to win the job next year. And that's what I did. And so you know, I wanted to you know, create value for myself in the in the draft process and earned the respect of my teammates. But also they'll leave a legacy legacy here, you know, the University of Alabama?

01:01:25
Speaker 3: Is it now?

01:01:26
Speaker 7: I need to know a little bit about was that. Oh way, we have a like question coming up. But before that, when you're having these conversations with the boar and trying to figure out do I stay, do I be abnormal whatever it is. What is the cell phone looking like? I'm sure you're getting blown up. You're a five star kid and there's there's a little duffel bags waiting around anywhere for you and these places. How tempting does that get at times when you have some random school call and be like yeah seven.

01:01:52
Speaker 3: Figures, yeah, and who was close to possibly get Yeah?

01:01:57
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're far enough along now we can talk about it.

01:02:01
Speaker 4: You know, It's never been about the money for me, right, Like I'm a coach's son. I love ball, Like I just wanted to play. So whenever, you know, I could play, get the most out of my ability and be able to create value like for myself, like coach Savan said, But like that was the biggest thing for me. So whether it's you know, at the best competition at SEC or you know, at a big time school, that's like what I wanted to do. I'm not going to throw any names out there because I don't want to get anybody in trouble.

01:02:31
Speaker 3: But maybe when you're on the bus post yeah, yeah.

01:02:34
Speaker 4: Exactly, when I'm on the bus, we can talk about it. But it was, you know, it was buzzing and We had you know, real conversations with with my dad and my agent just about like hey, like what do you want to do? And it just never felt right, like you know, whether you know, schools were calling, and I was like, you know, imagine myself at that city or or or that school, and it was just like, man, like, no, why would I want to go, you know, play there. I gotta go play, you know, so and so I got to go do this when I could you know, just wait one more year, learn, try to get some more reps, try to get you know, better understanding of the offense, and play against Tennessee next year, Georgia play against you know, Vanderbilt, like you know, guys guys like that, teams like that, played in a playoff game against Oklahoma, Like you know, if I would have went somewhere else, like you know, I feel very confident in myself my abilities that we could have gotten there, but like it would have been you know, it would have been difficult for sure, Bud like question.

01:03:34
Speaker 3: They keep flashes by like question.

01:03:36
Speaker 7: Then the boys got a meeting. He's Indiana top big bad Wolf of the Big ten.

01:03:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look I'll be giving you guys some more rat poison and some more bulleted board material when I get out there and start talking about how Indiana and for Nandam and Doze is gonna give you the nicest ass whooping of all time. But ty brouh for people out there watching too, because if clearly I've been one of the guys that spread that Notre Dame would beat all these teams and Bama should in the playoff and all of that stuff. I've been such a massive fan of yours. I've always talked about Ty Simpson high and tight everything else. But when you do come on the bus in the off season, for all the clips we have where you're yelling about being a wolf and everything else, we had a very cool conversation, like way back in the day when when you were buried in the depth chart and we got to meet at boost Fitness at the boost Fit club out here in Nashville, where I met you for the first time, and then as I see you again when we come out to interview coach Debor and then I'm following you this season and all the stuff that I'm now able to put together and be like, man, this is really cool that this dude. We had a conversation at boost Fit Club here in Nashville about being buried on the depth chart, and I'm thinking of my head. There's so many aliens at Alabama, like, hopefully this it works out for this kid one day. But whenever you come on the bus, would love to dive into that psyche of being patient, being steadfast in the process, all the challenging moments that you've had through adversity and everything else, because I can tell you're an absolute sicko. It comes to consuming things like Man in the Arena, the Last Dance, everything sports psychology related. So you have to come on the bus in the off season. Now that we're about to get to our.

01:05:09
Speaker 7: Podcast, I was like, yeah, hell, yeah, what's he gonna ask?

01:05:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to sit here and talk. I know he would love to break it down, but no one, he's got a meeting, like this is gonna be like it. It's gonna be a fun conversation, right, And I also just want to tell people as he's out there mindlessly yelling about being a wolf, like there's just there's context that I'm sure he pulls from of all of the different spots of adversity that you've had along the way that I would love for you to share whenever you do come on the bus one day.

01:05:34
Speaker 4: No, man, absolutely, And you know I want to say like thank you to you guys, because, like you said, will like you know, coming up to you at booth right, Like you know, I've always been a fan of y'alls, you know, because being a Tennessee kid and y'all playing for the Titans, right, Like, always kept up with y'all, but you know, y'all being athletes and just you know, showing y'all's platform of just being boys and just being fellas right and like having all the you know, this podcast and building your brand and just you know, showing people that athletes are guys too, and then y'all's mindset with the Wolf and then everything else in general. Right, Like we appreciate that, and I do, especially just because you know, when I listen to your podcast and watch y'all's videos you know, under the hood, like it just it puts as file on my face, right just because it's just you know, something to watch and something to uh you know think about and uh look forward to, and you know, just kind of get my mind off of football, knowing that you know, we're athletes and we think the same way and we can just you know, like like I said, and your model right like be a boy. So I appreciate you guys. Honestly, thank you dude.

01:06:41
Speaker 7: That is that is awesome. It's incredible for you to say. I cannot wait to break down all the psyche stuff and everything because you're right, like there is it's a different world when you're living in it and you're so zoomed in the process and you're motivating every little thing you're possibly you're reaching for to grab motivation. I can't wait to hear about more and depth of you guys this conversation. It's gonna be that hearing what he just said. It's gonna be that much harder picking Indiana. Yeah, but we're gonna have to but I'm gonna I gotta do what I gotta do.

01:07:06
Speaker 3: We gotta do it.

01:07:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, six and a half point favorites. They open up at six and a half point favorites the Alabama Crimson type. We won't get into betting now with the kid. We're not gonna do that. But the butt light question, all right, so people will do anything for an ice cold butt light. What is something that Ty Simpson would do anything for. Cannot say family, can't say family. But what's something you would do anything for? And there's something low hanging fruit staring right out there. But you're go and take it whatever you want.

01:07:33
Speaker 4: I mean, I gotta get the brave bill answer right, like anything for a national champion Yes, shure.

01:07:38
Speaker 7: That's the ass.

01:07:39
Speaker 3: So you're saying you'd cut your dick off for a national championship.

01:07:42
Speaker 4: I mean, you know I said I'd do anything, right, So whatever whatever puts nineteen up there for the for the Crimson town, you'll know what.

01:07:49
Speaker 3: Come on now, I love that he doing just a young thundercat. Yeah, no family yet, no nothing.

01:07:55
Speaker 7: That is the definition of being zoomed. Kid's twenty one years always like I'll cut it off right now. I will die, Yeah exactly. Everybody fans like you hear what our boy would do? Your your quarterback would cut his dick off. Ours would ravapause and Ty Simpson, man, we know you had a meeting. Man, you're the best. Once your season is over, hopefully a long time from now, come on the bus, come sit with the boys. Let's say, let's just have a great time together.

01:08:21
Speaker 4: You gotta do it, man, Love you guys, Appreciate you, and you know, like I said, keep doing what you are doing for you know, athletes like us and uh it's be a wolf.

01:08:30
Speaker 3: Now, come on you to keep that thing high and tight. I'm telling you you gotta go better than two for twelve on third down. Ty, you know that, you know that.

01:08:39
Speaker 4: Just whatever whatever it does to win the game, let's talk here about all right.

01:08:43
Speaker 3: Appreciate you, ty, Thank you, man.

01:08:45
Speaker 1: Thank you.

01:08:45
Speaker 4: Guys.

01:08:47
Speaker 7: Love some love sometimes I mean that that's what you want. Yeah, that's what you want.

01:08:54
Speaker 1: Man.

01:08:54
Speaker 7: A cat like that who just is willing to die for the brand.

01:08:58
Speaker 3: You can just tell too. Like I said in the group chat last night, I forget what I was responding to. It might have been him dapping you up and almost tearing your pack, but you can just tell he did. He loves playing football, He loves the mental stuff, he loves everything about because again he's a five star, so there's always like the thoughts on five stars and how they might carry themselves like this dude is obsessed with football.

01:09:21
Speaker 7: Is he Hays a five star talent with a one star mentality? Yeah, that's exactly I mean, we're sitting there on the sideline watching the game. And this is not a shot at Dramatier or anything like that, but like you could tell John Matier is like he's a football player, like he just either kids is just a He's athletic, he runs around, he does the backyard stuff. But you can tell Ty Simpson the way he plays. He loves the process. He loves loves the progression, the fundamentals of the game. He just seems like he's like immersed himself and like, how can I be the greatest quarterback I can possibly be for whatever team I'm playing for? And John Matier is like, let me go out here and fucking play.

01:09:53
Speaker 3: Some Well, John Materier, he might be obsessed with the fundamentals too.

01:09:55
Speaker 7: No doubt watching I'm watching like the how each guy plays, and you can just see John Mattier he's not afraid to get out there and rip around a little bit, and like Ty will sit there high and tight in progression, progression, Like you can tell this kid's he's doing exactly what he's coached. When John like we're not taking away from it because he's he's an absolute stud too, especially before you as a little thumb injury like he's a cat that's like one, two, let me go make a fucking play and be a football player. It's just it's it's different. They're both great.

01:10:25
Speaker 3: And just looking at this video, like just the look in his eyes. He had the same kind of look when he was having fun with us at the SEC Championship. But he's just got that when you're there on the field wanting to watch his playoff football game and like, hey, the quarterback for Alabama, Tye Simpson, and he's walking by and he's just got that look like he's he's got that uh, that young joy when playing, whether it be fourth grade football, eighth grade football, high school football, Like the dude is just ready to die, dude.

01:10:50
Speaker 7: And you say, like, he's got the same looking at buddy, that was a completely different look.

01:10:55
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's looking through you, like, hey, he's like I was just a beacon to allow that energy to come out, and he saw somebody he was relatively comfortable enough with that I'm gonna fucking because you know, in his head he's throwing warm ups and he's like, if I could just murder somebody right now for a victory, I would.

01:11:12
Speaker 7: He sees meeting he's like me put my shoulder in this motherfucker's chest because he like SC Championship. He was very like he was like, hey, he was meeting us for the first time, really like meeting me for the first time.

01:11:22
Speaker 3: We got to meet him when we were out there with the boor. He came in. He came in for a very when we said down, so he come.

01:11:34
Speaker 7: We wrap up at the SEC Championship and it's kind of like he's calm, he's more collected. See it feels like, Okay, this kid's got like he just feels confident. This is this is I'm gonna fucking kill somebody. Vibes like I'm this is this is the you and me in the locker room, tears in our eyes, thinking today's the day we die, and there's no better time to die than right now.

01:11:54
Speaker 3: That's that.

01:11:54
Speaker 7: That was the vibe I was getting from that kid.

01:11:55
Speaker 3: Man.

01:11:56
Speaker 7: And then they come out bro and it wasn't good Like they they they look terrible in the first quarter because, like by Josh Pate's analysis, he's like, we're gonna find out real quick who's who in the zoo when it comes to these two teams, And it really was like kind of who makes it. In my mind after the first quarter is like, who makes the most mistakes is gonna lose? This game ended up being true. But Ty Simpson when he threw that ball over to their sideline, broken play, kid was all by himself. Wasn't a great football, but he got the ball to his receiver, flipped the field, like he said. Once that happened, it was like all Alabama from then on.

01:12:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.

01:12:28
Speaker 7: I think right after that drive was a pick six.

01:12:29
Speaker 5: You could see that look in his eyes through the video. I saw that video after we were already down seventeen and was like, he's in there somewhere.

01:12:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just got to get woken up.

01:12:43
Speaker 7: And really with that kid, man, it's really just like get one play, Get one like one x plays all you really need from him. And then you just kind of see them all turning to.

01:12:52
Speaker 5: See what happens when he just has that one extra second of time.

01:12:55
Speaker 7: Right And Buddy, I'll tell you that, like during the game, on their third down, they're running the same kind of like game slash blitz. They were bringing the Mike linebacker and crossing the noses face over the center and it was putting them in shambles. And they ran it two three times, was getting pressure and like I think the first three third downs that's the pressure they ran. And it was the exact same look and everything. I'm thinking, if you guys can't figure this one out, it's gonna be a long day. And for whatever reason, like ty he gets the ball down the field and from then on and like, it was a completely different offense versus you know, a top ten defense in all of college football and made them look silly for two and a half quarters.

01:13:35
Speaker 5: I think the most impressive thing was what you're saying they did on defense to us in the first quarter, how quickly we adjusted on the defensive side of the ball.

01:13:44
Speaker 7: And that's great coaching. That's great.

01:13:46
Speaker 3: Well, the fact that the fact that Bama was getting after the quarterback like that, especially in the second half. What is it? Something starts with the.

01:13:53
Speaker 5: Y Pierre Oh, Yonz, Pierre Yonz Pierre him tophomore, Yeah, Kennedy, he was making his president.

01:14:01
Speaker 3: But a lot of guys were just getting after the quarterback, which you hadn't really seen from Bama all year long. I'll be curious too, like as people are listening and watching, like a part of me wanted to ask whenever I asked a question, how important were those weeks off? Like I'm just so curious if something was up with Todd.

01:14:17
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got that feeling when you asked that question.

01:14:19
Speaker 3: Because the way the way that he was balling in September October until he kind of hit I want to say it was South Carolina once.

01:14:26
Speaker 7: Once the Tennessee game was the last game, you were like, oh my god, Alabama is a juggernaut. Yeah, and he's in the Heisman talk, it was like, yeah, I think that was the last week in October. From then, it was like, what's what's Alabama up to? Like something's got to be going on with their team and all the injuries of the SEC. But you're yeah, I felt that when you were asking that question, because yeah, it did feel like he had something going on. And then the turtle kicked in right around that second quarter. Baby, he was rimping.

01:14:52
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm not kidding. In the second half when we started popping off, they shot that boy up in the locker room.

01:14:58
Speaker 3: There was no question what happened.

01:15:01
Speaker 7: Now, hey, they shot his ass up before. Dude, the way he fucking doing it to me, I'm like, god, damn, you know I gotta get back in the gym the way this kid's throwing me around right now.

01:15:08
Speaker 3: They Yeah, no, they had a hell of a comeback when they were down seventeen to oh. Like I'm sitting there like, man, dude.

01:15:14
Speaker 5: I'll tell you and everyone on.

01:15:15
Speaker 7: Twitter, I'll tell you this.

01:15:16
Speaker 3: Hey, I withheld from if you notice too, I'm talking to my head. I can't truly, I am in shambles from that Patriots tweet a couple of weeks ago or last week whenever I put it out, and then the Bills come back and win. But I'm sitting there when they're down seventy oh, because it was like, fuck man, like they are. This is not good. Yeah, not good for all of the arguments that have been going on around Alabama because they have just looked like a completely different football team in the month in November and December. Yeah, but when they came back, I'm like, oh God, Oklahoma, what just a choke job.

01:15:47
Speaker 5: How many people you think deleted their tweets?

01:15:50
Speaker 7: Well, I I kind of you kind of can't stay a little bit. I saw Brandon Walker, I saw a couple of Notre Dames like this is the team they had in over us, and I just screamshot just in case screenshot.

01:16:01
Speaker 5: You know they make a bookmark feature.

01:16:03
Speaker 7: Yeah, I can't even get to that, but I'll just put that on.

01:16:07
Speaker 3: To keep those tweets from being deleted. It's people, get screenshot. It's over out there. You put it out there, it's done.

01:16:13
Speaker 5: You got to keep respect to the people that left them too, because it is a funny read if you go back.

01:16:19
Speaker 3: Dude, it's so funny. Dude.

01:16:21
Speaker 7: Thursday or Friday, this TWU Lane fan account put this long tweet up and it was like basically going into how this tu Lane team's different. They have they were injured back then, they're going to be completely different. A lot of guys are saying they would even donate if tu Lane even wins. Looking at you tagged me and I see that on Friday and I'm like, huh and the cat I checked it. I checked it this morning. Tweets still up, kids standing ten toes down, didn't delete it, So shout out the two Lane wave fan that is It's beautiful, man, Yeah, sports, all of it. It's incredible. I'll say this, dude. When there was like a fourth and one and they're in the red zone and they call it. I'm out there is this kid on the on the Alabama sideline. Little cat didn't even didn't know who he really was. He was like getting stretched out a bunch of coaches walking up to him and at being Brooks seventeen And I'm like, this kid Brooks, like he why is everybody kind of talking to him? Two touchdowns in the game.

01:17:16
Speaker 5: Like he was a stud freshman, true freshman?

01:17:18
Speaker 7: I know, bro. And it pisses me off because I'm thinking three star because there's a piece of me that was buying into I have no idea how real the killing the board the Michigan thing was, but the more like you kind of live in it, and I'm I'm clearly in the depths of it, reading all the things the fan base is talking. You start to talk to yourself more and more into Oklahoma wins this game, to bores on it playing there.

01:17:38
Speaker 3: And when it's seventeen, oh, you're like, oh, we're gonna get yeah, b Wall. Brandon Walker tweets out congradulates the Michigan on.

01:17:43
Speaker 7: Game right, and I'm thinking, I'm thinking of myself like when Oklahoma is winning, because I have no dog in the fight up until this point, I have no dog in the fight, and I'm thinking myself, the next forty eight hours of my life are going to be so exciting, like just to kind of like the anticipation what's going to happen, the anxiety, and then the worst turn of events Alabama wins that. I'll wake up in the morning to Kenny Dilley Haam signing of this edge. I'm like, oh, that was the most boring sleep bro ever. Yeah, ever, dude, that shit pissed me off. Happy for Kenny, like I said on this bus, like he've probably been my one A and debor being the one bee. You can flip them anytime you want. I think Kenny would have been so successful at the University of Michigan, the energy he brings, a little bit of new blood. I think Michigan is now ready and willing to accept something like that. How outspoken he is. And when I wake up to that, I shoot him a text. Man, I'm like, hey, I'm happy for you. You would have been amazing, amazing blue and he just hits me with same thing I told you three years ago.

01:18:41
Speaker 3: You can say whatever, but I'll Kenny Dillingham, God, everybody played us, played you guys he because no one just knowing how things were going down and unfold. It got to a point to where I'm thinking of my head, like, man, the way Dilly has talked about being where your feet are and the grass isn't always greener, and how much he's obsessed with Arizona State, Oh, his kids, like all the family dynamic, they all live on the same street. All the stuff he's always said in the pressers and everything else. And then just hearing about some of the convos and how Kenny Dilliam could be a real thing for Michigan. It got to a point to where I just shoot him a message. I'm like, man, if this is what he's want to do, Like, I shoot him a message being like, hey, rooting for you for the Michigan job. And then whenever he stays, I just put LFG because I'm thinking, oh, that that fires me up. That he you know, all the stuff that he talked about, which I thought was becoming kind of like, oh, it seems like he's going to go he's wanting to go to Michigan. And then I'm like, LFG, He's like the same thing I said three years ago, and I'm just too Yeah, he said that to me too, and I'm just like, I felt a little different over this last month. Yes, and like that man worked everybody.

01:19:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, he did. And you know what's funny is when Kenny became like when this job first opened, I'm trying to to reach out to people, you hear the two names that really come up for everybody. It's Kaalen de Boorr and Kenny Dillingham. Obviously, I have a relationship with Kenny, so we talk a couple of times, but I'm not pressing. I'm just kind of giving the lay of the land, like this is kind of how the University of Michigan works, from like a fan base perspective, from a game day perspective, like this is the kind of things you can expect in your off season and everything like that. And he's he was. He never gave me anything like I want to go or anything like that. But it was just a curiosity conversation. And I talked to a bunch of people that knew Kenny, and one guy was like, Hey, don't be surprised if he leaves you with the altar for ASU And it's not like it's not a bad thing.

01:20:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, But then from other people, it seemed like, Oh, he really wants his Michigan job. Yeah, because I'm here and it's like, oh, he's like if this job would were to be because again it was de Boor and then the moment say Debor says no, or the moment let's just say Oklahoma wins, all the moment he gets completely shut down. It's it's going to be Dilly's job to turn down. Yeah, And I'm thinking if what I'm hearing is if he gets that opportunity, it sounds like this is where he's rolling.

01:21:01
Speaker 7: Yeah, And it's like I hate for him that he has to do a press conference right after someding his extension, being like can somebody please stroke a twenty million dollar check? And I just think to myself, I think it's so honorable him staying at his alma mater, the place he wants to be at, the whole talk about my family, my dad, my mom, and the up three doors down, all that, it's beautiful. And I did tell him, I was like, hey, you in the car right now. He's like, yeah, I go, it's sunny outside, isn't it. He's like it is. I go, you're not going to see that from November to May and an Arbor, Michigan, you will not see it. So just this you're living in a completely different world. Like my first year at Michigan. Thank god the transfer portal wasn't open because my ass would have been gone. Just from a weather perspective, I was like, get me the fuck out of here. It's a miserable I know you grew up in Arizona, Like there's like five days out of the year you don't see the sun and you don't realize that this hey that winter depression that sees all depression stuff that's real. It'll get you and then you get used to it or whatever. But uh yeah, I just breaks my heart. I hope somebody does stroke the check for him. He is very good and he's gonna maximize whatever talent he has in that building. But if you go wait before again and Michigan stays with Biff Pogi for twenty twenty six, we're gonna be knocking. All right, We're gonna be knocking once more.

01:22:14
Speaker 3: Back around.

01:22:15
Speaker 7: Just come back to him, go the way you wanted. No, all right, now, come back up Dan Arbor.

01:22:19
Speaker 5: You should just write a blank check and send him a picture of it.

Let's heart back to the episode. Let's get hard and get back.

01:23:52
Speaker 2: To this episode.

01:23:53
Speaker 3: Great interview with ty phenomenal and then we kind of broke it down there a little bit ago we got into and again we were starting get into college football talk. All that stuff happens in locker room yesterday that we dropped with Josh Pate. We do have the boys in the back of the bus for this part of the episode because we have some sports talk that's happening in our world. Matt Malone, a social media producer for our show. Jack went to support my man, to support our boy at his What beer league is.

01:24:20
Speaker 2: Beer League hockey game? So for anyone in Nashville, it's the Ford Ice Center out in Bellevue. Matt has been playing in this beer league, I think for a good minute now, but he's continually brought up, Hey, y'all got to come to a game. Gotta come to a game. The issue with beer leagues and a lot of these Rex sports is that the times will start between like five point fifteen and then the last game will start at nine to fifteen, or in their league it actually starts at ten to fifteen. So you're not gonna catch me on Sunday night going out to Bellevue to watch hockey.

01:24:49
Speaker 3: But what commitment by Matt there to play a game he loves.

01:24:55
Speaker 2: And part of me I want to see if he's competent, if he can skate, if all the talk. If you know Matt Malone, you know he's a talker.

01:25:01
Speaker 3: He talks a lot of shit about his game, and you know, so randomly goes shoresy on you out of nowhere and you're like, oh, okay, okay.

01:25:08
Speaker 2: And so I need to do my due diligence and go see if he actually is capable of willing to play hockey, or if this is all a bit and he kind of sucks. So without him knowing, I remember him mentioning his games at five forty five this past week. Fresh out of Nissan Stadium yesterday, I'm feeling good. Titans win first home win in over four hundred days. I'm like, you know what, I think this would be a perfect day to go for Matt Malone games at five forty five. Show up right at five forty first off, went to the wrong rink. All the guys in there looked like they were forty plus. I'm like, I don't think this is the one. Go to the other side Matt's game. They're warming up, so I walk in. I sent a video of Matt first see and me sending to all the boys. He could not have been more excited for the support.

01:25:50
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you remembered.

01:25:51
Speaker 2: And many of my day. I was happy to be there and it was just fun, especially because it was five forty five. I've got all my stuff done, I'm just hanging out, brought Shannon. We're having a good time. Taylor messages like I need a full detailed report on the game. So these are my notes throughout the entire game.

01:26:09
Speaker 7: Before you get into it. I saw Matt this problem.

01:26:12
Speaker 2: Okay, I will get to probably what you were asking about.

01:26:15
Speaker 7: Well, no, no, no, he tries to code to me and he has the bottom the energy of I gotta tell you something. I gotta get ahead of something vibes and I told I have no idea if that if I'm right or wrong in that. But I was like, hey, listen, I don't want to hear. I will hear the breakdown from Jack and I had to interrupt him a couple of times. So I'm very excited for this.

01:26:35
Speaker 2: Yeah. So we got the belt on the shoulder, and this is the will Matt Malone received the belt on any level. So here we go. Player Matt Malone production three points. Starts off, skated well all game, good pace at a competitive level. Defensively responsible, wasn't on the ice for a goal against. He made a smart decision on two on one by dumping the puck and getting a shift change. He generated off with a shot on net. Early and consistent pressure created scoring chances around the crease, including a wrap around look at the goalie kind of towed him on. It was a very impressive move by the goalie. So I thought he was gonna get this goal. And obviously with me being there, it's awesome to support Matt and I want him to feel like we care about his stuff, which we do. But I want to see him score. We all want to see him. I want to see him produce. So anyways, we're gonna keep going. He created that chance, doesn't get the wrap around. He needs better shift awareness. When he was tired, he missed a breakaway pass. Dude to just being gased. Simplify, get the pucks deep and get those moments tied up. He also tried to force a one o three and he got hip checked, went down, took a little bit of a spill. Needs better situational awareness truly, but overall so he finished with three points in a positive contributor strong skater offensive impact. He just needs to clean up shift management and the details in traffic to take the next step. So, where I'm sitting at.

01:27:56
Speaker 7: I love that review. Dude, that was perfect.

01:27:58
Speaker 2: Where I'm sitting at, I'm just bummed he didn't score. He had a shot to potentially score. He also had to assist, so I'm like, look for what it's worth. I looked at him as a good skater. It it was an entertaining to watch. It was a pretty, you know, high level competitive game for the circumstances. He's pretty bummed. In the third period. I'm locking eyes with him. I'm like standing on the glass watching and he's on the bench and I'm like lock in because i want him score. Yeah, And he comes off and he's kind of hanging his head. The team they were playing was arguably much better. They had some Apparently one of the guys played in the show. At some point you could tell he didn't come off the ice but one time in three periods, which, you know hockey, that's very impressive. You get gassed so hard and there's not a ton of guys playing already, they maybe have four or five subs on each team. Matt comes off kind of hanging his head. I'm like, dude, doesn't even worry, and he goes bro, you missed my goal. And my heart sinks and I'm kind of fumbling and I'm like, no, no, you go to my camera roll. You got to Shannon's camera role. There's thirty videos. It's like we were filming and watching the whole time. He goes bro. I had a breakaway top left. Look over to you guys. Both you and Shannon are on your phones. Oh and I literally am sitting there, like I can feel myself getting flush. I can feel the embarrassment and the shame in my body that I sat here and collected a whole page of notes. I have a whole camera roll full footage of him, and I miss his one opportunity. And I'm like, but he's like, dude, it's all I'm so glad you came, Like it means the world, Like I love you can be taking a photo and I'm like, I went to home goods. I feel like your son, I made a mistake coming to the game. Oh and JP, I I kind of mentioned it and like spared the details earlier, and he was like, He's like, you'll when you have kids, you'll never miss one of their games or one of the goals if they're on like the corner of the ice, you're putting your phone down. I'm like, one hundred percent. I felt even right now, I can feel this emotion of just utterly shame. I'm like, because it doesn't matter, like when I'm telling the story, y'all can believe me or not. And like, I'm locked in the whole game, got all these notes, it doesn't matter. I missed his one goal and on top of it, he went top left on him and it was against a really good team. And I'm sitting there like.

01:30:17
Speaker 3: You know he hit it too and just looked right over it.

01:30:21
Speaker 7: Celebrate with his team or nothing.

01:30:23
Speaker 2: Not just me, but Shannon two was on her phone, So both of us are sitting there in utter disbelief, like no, And I didn't go to Home Goods afterwards because down Belvy's right there. I was gonna look for something for my sister for Christmas. And me and Shannon do one lap around and she's like, are you okay? I go, I can't even focus right now. We gotta leave, and literally, Lee, I feel so bad welcome this morning. I'm like, okay, you know this is just another opportunity for me to get out there support him, and then leads me in to this other thing. I know he's gonna listen and maybe we cut this part out, but I think it would be one huge for his morale and it'd be an awesome moment if we could find a time where we all go to one of his games. I know that it's tough for you guys. But if they if they have a five to forty five game, they have these little bleachers right next to the ice. It would be unbelievable. If we just filled up one slate of bleachers and are just going nuts the whole game. He would be the most nervous he's ever been in his whole life. But it's truly, I mean, it was an hour thing. It's you're in and out. It's a nice little thing.

01:31:24
Speaker 5: But if that, I know, like that, if we go to a Matt Malone hockey game before a Mitch Carsly flag football game, we're fucked.

01:31:38
Speaker 6: Overall.

01:31:39
Speaker 2: Even with missing the goal, I would still give Matt the belt. I was impressed with his skating. He's definitely adequate for the sport. A lot of the shit talking makes sense. I need to see a little bit more. I think if I'd seen the goal firsthand, it would have changed a little. I still feel terrible. Oh all awesome experience, and it was just fun just catch in random hockey games these dudes.

01:32:02
Speaker 7: Okay, we do need to cut that part. I think if it works out schedule wise, we should. That would be awesome to do. From that twelve of.

01:32:11
Speaker 2: Us showed up, like we get like a couple of guys to paint up even or something. It would be so because there's one section of really small bleachers that I counted the seats and there's enough where all of us would just fit in this one little section. I just can imagine how he would feel we can maybe do some content out of it. It would it would be fun.

01:32:30
Speaker 6: So we can we open and invite it too, of like friends that are local and just people make inside.

01:32:38
Speaker 7: I agree. I love that idea. But if this is going to actually happen, which we'll see, it needs to be as quiet as possible. We can't so like, if we're gonna invite people, like, let's invite quietly group chats, we're gonna meet here at this time, and we're gonna come in all at the same time.

01:32:54
Speaker 2: His parents out there.

01:33:01
Speaker 7: Yeah.

01:33:02
Speaker 5: I want it to be known, Mitch when you're reviewing this that I stood up for you. I've actually come and played in a game. I don't want any it's Taylor.

01:33:13
Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt. This shitty thing for Mitch is like when he's playing his sport, it's the most busy time of the year for us, and it really is like it's so much now it's like the season's kind of winding down. It's still it's getting much more exciting, but it's winding down. There's lesson you have to know about. It's easier kind of get away and go watch a couple hours or something randomly. That's just my take.

01:33:37
Speaker 2: Washing there's a big entertainment factor there.

01:33:40
Speaker 4: It is fun.

01:33:41
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and just like being in like a cold ice rink. There's some nostalgic about that to me, and it just like it feels right and it's super quick.

01:33:48
Speaker 4: So do they have concessions gone?

01:33:49
Speaker 2: They actually have a really.

01:33:51
Speaker 7: Nice pretzels, nachos, get a hot dogs into the guy at Oklahoma?

01:33:58
Speaker 3: All right? Do they do they stream is games anywhere?

01:34:01
Speaker 4: No?

01:34:02
Speaker 7: Well, this is we can bigger something out.

01:34:07
Speaker 3: Look, I can't play favorites, man, I can't go to Malone. I just like you know what I'm saying.

01:34:13
