Bro, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another episode of Busting with the Boys. In his episode two ninety one, let's give a ride of applause. We have a big guest. Today's name is Will Levis. You gonna have a great time.

To listeners that come and view this podcast on your YouTube, your rumble, your Apple, your Spotify, your downcast, anywhere you consume this podcast, more than fifty percent of the people that listen to this podcast will do you know something. They're not subscribed. It's bad they haven't just pressed the button,

It's like, hey, you want to support the boys, if you want to be for the boys, just hit the subscribe button.

All you gotta do is just all you gotta do. Just just touch it, just for a second, just to see how it feels.

Dude.

Another think you can touch and know how it feels immediately is the Chevy Silverado presented by We're presented by your good friends of Chevy. There's a reason why I've never known a tear talk on best pickup trucks, and that's because Bust with the Boys. At Bust with the Boys, there's only one truck, and that is the Chevy Silverado. Why is that, I don't know. Maybe it's the eight

Of mouthful, and I was on my phone because I was searching some data. We talked about the painhandling, just having a good reminder at the top of the episode for people to subscribe, and why it's important, which I'm sure we'll hit on in our in our meeting tomorrow when kind of de briefing the last week. Sam Marrill's episode is sitting at like sixty something thousand of views, fifty million the subscribers we added last week three hundred

He's seen the field, hit a full body cramp this morning, He's seen the.

Field as clear as he ever has. I think, in my JP would be a fair assessment.

Fair assessment. Everything that everybody is thinking is true.

Yes, that's at all. Let's go JP.

Should we should we hit on? Should we touch on? Recap? The wedding? Guy? Know, when we were at the wedding, You're like, hey, try to hold off for a week so we can talk about when I get back, I get some wedding shenanigans. I know, we just had Georgia Tech Florida State. We could talk about our first bets of the season. We got big Week one of college football coming up. Our gambling show is not coming out this week. It's coming out next week, the first week

We will be doing that.

So where should we start, fellas, Let's.

Start a JP's wedding. I want to talk about that, okay, I want to talk about your experience, JP. How was it? How'd you feel? Man?

So on the rehearsal dinner day was pretty stressful. The caterers got the like two three hours late.

How was your old man?

He was hot? Y'all saw him. He he was He was holding it together for the people for the most part. But I think he found himself by by himself for a little while where he got to let off some steam to a few people.

If a dog was by him, it would have been bad to be.

The dog exactly shout out Kai. But once the food, once we sat down, did the speeches, had the food. The food was incredible. My parents did an awesome job. My mom, she has three boys. We've never the biggest party we've thrown is probably one of my birthday parties at the pool and the biggest coordinating is like getting enough popsicles in pizza and pizza and so they did a great job. They were stressed out. I cannot say

It, but we talked about it a little bit.

Yeah up, yeah, yeah.

I mean it's just like if if you're wondering, like who I am? Like that to me, man, it was. It was awesome. Yeah.

The relays, the contest the boys in the beginning because I didn't get in the water first because I saw some of your friends that were playing physical fighting, just over the volleyball and they're like, well wall, you know, get out of Yeah, it's a little too rough for me out there right now. I gotta warm up a little bit. Then the storm came and even though everybody scattered, like the moment the storm was happening, like just that little short video where your boy catches.

The right I think Evan caught it. I don't know.

You see the the wind happening so hard that you kind of see the water moving.

It was a dream, dude, it was a dream. And yeah, your five second video captured like the perfect essence of it. I wish we had the video of the relays smoked well twice, but Jack and I we came away with the dub and one of them, my brother.

Came away with dub.

And the second one you were on team with my brother.

Yeah, the second.

One, when he first came in, we took him on our team.

Yeah, will fall started in that one.

Okay, fall start.

You went before? Yeah, you went before the What I was what I was.

Trying to do is Timey hitting the water on Gough smart, you know what I mean?

Yeah, that's using the rle serie advantage. It's a smart move.

Yeah, and what the the rumors are? Here was the phrase used if JP even beat me, It was that was a photo.

Finish after you got a head start.

From Aquaman himself, the guy who claims that he's the fastest swimmer of all time.

That's not true. Jack is faster than me.

Yeah, you guys never did race. There's part of me that thinks, like, maybe you don't want to know who would win.

I have said Jacket is faster than me.

Second before you said that, I was trying to get something going.

It's not about that, it's not about the thread time. I do feel like, you know, we found out. I got to find out like how competent I was like swimming against Like I mean you you had some swimmers there.

Yeah, he did, Tyler, Joe, Alan Jack, my brother. He made the final one.

Of the four.

That's like, hey, let's just do a one race, good on, good, down and back. With just fifty meters. Jack was holding his own until probably the last fifteen meters.

Yeah.

And I will say from the camp barstool stuff, it's like I I was about to catch a full body cramper I was in. I could not get comfortable because my quads are so on fire, and I will say, just to clear the air. I was laying on the table. Garrett Can attests to this, and I was being very serious too, because I was hurting, like my oh, my arms, my tricess, my back and my quads more than anything. And I was like, hey, I just want to take back.

Of it all, best full body work.

To see Will in that position.

I was hurting.

You had a full week of like going through stuff. You have the toe the first day and the next day it was.

The toes getting a little better. Yeah, but do you want to see it?

Yeah? I do, because Will jam this till we were playing softball White.

Sox daya bro it.

Oh it's got a lot better. Yeah, maybe just a jam.

Then I was putting the I was putting in the old little foot spot that I got at home. Yeah, thrown some ice every now and then there, trying to just move it.

The thing that surprised me the most about this toe is that it didn't bother you sleeping at night because toe pain. Yeah, and the blood float of toes.

And your heart beat.

Yes, yea, he didn't have it, but yeah, it really was.

It was kind of fun sleeping in those bunks. It was I was comfortable. I don't know about you. I know you're a big cat, You're a big guy.

I was so tired at the end of each day that it was. It was fine, but like, it was the first weekend that actually, like my back was hurting all weekend. Yeah, my knee was swollen all week in. My back was swoll a weekend. I was like, that was a good time.

But Taylor almost slept like twelve hours one night.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the first day I like went And just the problem was I got too hot when we were fishing, and I was like, so I was, let me go look at my phone for a little bit. Phone and I was like, I'm not getting up. I got up to brush my teeth and then I went to bed. That was it, man, I was I was cooked, absolutely cozy. K Bartol was it absolute blast. Let's talk about after the wedding.

Winners and losers of the wedding, because I got a couple for JP losers, I.

Got a loser.

Let's hear him.

I got a loser too, what's your loser. I don't know the lady. She was wearing a whitish dress, like a pearl colored dress, and she had a little purse with her. That's really all the I got for a blonde haired lady wearing white. Yes, but I love the idea of open seating. However, it was a little bit of a chaot ideal me Will Charro went and got our food and there was a table and I sit down and the lady in the dress is like, you're sitting in my seat. I was like, oh, I'm sorry.

I love how you identified a person, because my loser is going to be the open seating concept, the standing the I think A winner is the buffet phenomena huge, incredible food.

The things were unbelievable, flinters out there just trying to get food everywhere.

I got, like, I got like a little plate. But I saw photos of the spread after Oh my god.

Ohoh, even my wedding when I didn't get to have like the appetires that were going around because we had to go take photos and everything and they were all kind of gone. When I was back, I was like, fuck, man, I feel you on that.

The sushi God, hey, yeah she was good too. And then you had so much the ch and the eel sauce in tubes, which is great because that's a great little thing that you always get someone the sushi, and you wish there was a little bit more of you feel kind of weird asking for those things.

Yeah, you could drench that shit, no problem. It was so good.

Another a winner, the uh, the priest, the pastor, Yes, rust David job storytelling that.

Pissed me off, but it was really good. He did a really good job.

The camaraderie at the toward the end of the night, like when you got to kind of you know, you were saying hi to everybody, but you get to enjoy your moments with the boys. You guys are having a great time throwing you up the ale. Oh that's a winner. But my loser was the open seating because a couple of reasons. One the one Taylor mentioned like if you're if you don't know a lot of people, like I knew our crew, and I'm sure other people from other parts of your life are like kind of trying to

You' getting multiple plays too, so the whole standard had like three.

Different buffets going on. It was great.

It was all the time, Trivia, Gregg's, crab cakes.

And It's And another reason it was a loser is because I could not hear Sidon's dad giving the speech, and I was low key getting a little fired up because the back half, if you're sitting down at your table, you kind of know when somebody's talking and everybody's quiet and watching, but nobody really knew that it was speech time and you couldn't get that. You couldn't hear anything because the back half of the room they were like partying in Mingland.

And every for sure.

So that was the only thing that was the only loser that I was really bummed.

If we're not identifying individuals, I have one more loser of the wedding, and I don't want to feel like piling on wedding. It was a great wedding. It was a It was a great wedding. But because I knew how excited you were for your walkout song, I was bummed out for you. There wasn't that people. There wasn't like one individual like the party planner going hey, everybody,

It's also an issue with a bigger wedding. I think there was like three p fifty there.

Fun wedding winter. The people. Yeah, people at the wedding, like all your friends, the parents, everybody was awesome. Bro, Yeah, got to be wonder boy.

He was.

He was great with this great Yeah, welldude, so awesome to meet you when he's like this, Yeah, just a gracious cat man, truly nice post.

Yeah, like when he because his brother texted me like on Wednesday, because I was helping one of my other friends who's in the UFC that was there. I was trying to coordinate a practice session for them too, and then his brother hit me up like, Hey, what's the details for Saturday? Because back when we were in Miami, I went to go see them and I was like just kind of messing around a little bit, like Hey, y'all need to come to the wedding, like it will

Probably, yeah, because then you end up in Nashville.

Yeah, exactly.

Hey, which brings me to one more loser of the wedding. Michael Chandler. Ooh, Michael Chandlers had the invite, had the invite. We talked about it didn't go bad. Look for Mike, stand up guy, great individual, amazing family. Didn't go to the wedding. I told him to say, Hey, I'm driving there and back same day. I'll drive you. No, man, I got it. Stuff.

I do need to defend the seating for there. There could have been more tables, but I'm a huge I hate sit down dinners. That's what I heard, because I think they killed the vibe. I think you lose. We had a really good crew at the wedding, so it probably wouldn't have. But almost every wedding I've been to that sit down there's like a good twenty five to thirty percent that don't get up and like get to the dance floor and the energy just falls off quick.

Right.

Don't disagree with you, but I think the people that you.

Had there for sure, you would have never had.

To worry about because you got people who are just so excited, they're fun so the dance floor. Would have never because I heard I was like, that was one of JP's calls. Yeah, it's probably the only one that if you had this year before the before the wedding.

I wouldn't I wouldn't have listened to you at all because I feel good about it, sitting liked it. I went there was more tables.

Again, you wouldn't do that.

There could have been more tables for people.

Could be more tables, but it's all good. Like a random move.

At this last wedding that we went to, they had to sit down, and usually it really is like people just kind of trickle onto the dance floor. You don't get too much action. They were like, hey, everybody, get up from your your dinner. We're doing a group photo. Everybody at the wedding. Brought them onto the dance floor, took the photo and then it was turned down for what and like shut down.

That great idea? Sure didn't you get a last minute invite?

I got a very friendly invite from JP because I was at I was at a day party at Mitch's house and to save the date was on the fridge and I sent it to JP and I said, dude, I can't wait. I'm excited to come. And it was a complete joke and he sent a really friendly text message back and it was like, hey, Bro, but seriously, if you and Jill want to come through. So I appreciate you saying that, but I would never put the pressure on the guy like that. But I should have

I think I think your thought process was in the best intention for JP. Yeah, but obviously Slug's a good vibe.

This big slug. You had had a great time. Yeah, and you heard the whole thing with wonder Boy like he still came through.

That's true.

I did hear that.

But wonder Boy brings an energy that I could never that could never match.

It's a calmness.

Yeah, it was a fun way bro in Greenville a winner Greenville, Greensville, suuter Alna massive winner.

Yes, you'll see what I'm standing on the table for it. Each week a.

Six four even, just driving in a little downtown area before we went anywhere, It's like, yo, we're gonna have a solid little time here. There was stuff to do, the street market that was going on in the morning. Uh, the spots to eat. I'm talking Yelp Haven, Bro.

What's crazy is like Yelp Haven. In even middle school, there was a curfew downtown so like if you were under eighteen, you had to be home like by nine because it was dangerous. And the developers that built the city, like they crushed.

Oh yeah, man, that's what is it? Falls Park? Yeah, great little spot.

It was fun, man, glad everybody had a good time. I will say another loser.

No, no, no, no, no, I'm just I was trying to figure out before I say it, if it's going to be like an emotional thing, like if I'm reacting to it, I don't think I will experience another welcome party the way you had your welcome party. There's nobody that's gonna go out of the b like that and do a pool party and you're almost curious if it's going to hit or not.

Yeah, you know what I mean. And it was so good because the people that like didn't bring their swimsuits. Uh, A ton of them came up to me. They were like, man, like, I can't believe I didn't didn't bring my swimsuit. Like it raining was. They were like it raining literally felt like God was just like laughing at me, like, look at you, dumb in your little suit collared shirt. Not in the pool right now.

Yeah, your dad tried coming out there and saying, hey, lighting might be here in like fifteen minutes, so we're gonna have to get out.

Obviously it didn't happen. We said we'll die.

Before we get out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no.

Man. It truly was like the greatest weekend ever, best weekend of my life. The honeymoon was awesome. Like I was just so thankful everybody that showed up. It was so cool to see everybody from all different walks of life and it was special.

So how was it seeing sitting walk hear those church doors?

Also? I was crying, like, oh sun, bro, it was It was bad, man?

What hapened?

You just you know?

So you just immediately look at JP because you can already see that he's emotional kind of before it even starts.

Moving back and forth. I was like, oh not the shoulders, bro.

Well, it was my my friend, my friend Michael, because he was one of the last ones to walk down. And I've known Michael since I was like three, maybe even two, and like Michael has been through a lot of things and so like we've just I don't know, seeing him come down kind of like sparked it. I was already emotional, but I was just like man because

At what point during it were you like, all right, this is gonna be horror than I thought.

Emotionally, probably like fifteen minutes before I went out there late. Well, she sent me the letter, and there's like this song from a movie. The movie is called ten Years. It's a great little like fun watch. The cast is crazy Oscar Isaac Channing, Tatum, Anthony Mackie, Chris Pratt, and it's like a high school ten year reunion and there's this song in it called never Had, and it's basically Oscar Isaac singing to the girl like she was the best thing he never had, and because they had like a

That's awesome. Yeah, I love I love to another Winner of the Wedding the phone that you pick up.

And I can't wait. We haven't listened to it, doc, I can't wait.

I did it and then once it was like, please leave a message. I was like, oh fuck. I was like, what happened. So there's obviously you know the book you can write like notes. It's like pictures and you can write notes. And but on the next to it there was a phone, like an old school phone that you pick up and it would ring and then it would say please even message for the bride and groom.

After the beef.

So now they have all these messages from people from the wedding. Damn. It's idea. It was a great idea.

I was like, I'm back.

I'm so guys, but I love you. It's like an old lady behind me.

She's like, I'm like, hold on one second.

Get off my heart. Small break from the wedding part. People are probably sitting here watching this episode, wondering what's changed in the bus.

Oh yeah, yeah yeah, because we get into with Will left. But we got some new chairs.

New chairs, and so will we.

Little upgrade, little upgrade, little upgrade.

This was talked about on Thursday, and I get to the bus today and here like I pulled the trigger. We're doing it. It's like, all right, fuck it, And I think I personally like it.

Do you like the round table as well.

Yes, because there's just more room. And I love the swivel.

Yeah, having the swivel is I think it helps with the guests who because then he can face us a little bit more like also in the back you.

Can kind of swivel and look back.

Yeah, we'll have to figure out if there's like a fourth at some point, but that usually, like you were saying, when we were when we were like talking through last week at the restoration hardware that came, but that's like few and far in between.

Yeah, having multiple game and.

Once we tried it, it's like, yeah, let's just rock with this. As long as they felt comfortable.

It's good to pull the trigger on things and see how it works. Yeah, I'm personally a fan of it. We inter up this episode to bring you Draft Kings. We had an appetizer last week. Now it's time to feast. College football is back. Don't miss any of the action. Jump into Draft Kings Sportsbook. It's a full slate of games in week one, including a big matchup and Atlanta. Between preseason number one and number sixteen. It's super easy for first timers to get started. Try betting on something

You guys know that I hate bringing up like anything that could be a little too that could create drama, you know, But I do feel like we have to just throw just put it out there, just reporting. This isn't me wanting to cause anything whatsoever. Did you feel any type of way about Taylor is supposed to be driving and then he left that night again.

And I do want to say this too. If you do feel some type of way, I completely understand.

I don't. I don't hold grudges, so like I haven't carried it with me once, you know, once the wedding day was over, but I was. I was taken aback.

Yeah, when you came and.

Broke the news to me, because I also heard the wedding planners came and spoke to you and then they locked it in with you. Yeah, So I think it was the fact that was locked in, and I was excited. I told people. I was like, man, I'm stoked. Like Taylor, he's taking us off. The photos are going to be hilarious, Like he.

Would have to officiate. Yeah, yeah, I would have probably done just as good as a job.

Well I guess, like, how do we know you would have shown you wouldn't have No, Yeah.

I get that. Here was My whole thing was is I was traveling a lot. The lot the two days before that. I get back and I drove that day and my head Taylor had been gone. Her flight was like bumped around a lot because there was like weather in Toronto, so she was pushed and so I was going to be able to see him the weekend before, but ended up I had to leave and then they were getting back. They didn't get back until we were

I appreciate you making the trip from Arizona to Greenville.

I appreciate that, and I should I should drove. I'll make it up to you. I'll figure out a way to make up.

You got me one of the best wedding gifts ever.

But you see, so two weeks ago you were like, this is the best gift, and I was like, bro, I'm telling you there's someone's gonna come out of nowhere. Someone's gonna come out of nowhere. And at the wedding, I was like, hey, is it still staying. You're like, unfortunately, no, shout out Grammy, shout out, shout out Grammy. But it was a good gift. Yeah, a gift you could have been on.

I have one for him coming.

Yeah, say it was my birthday gift. You'll get that. That's your five year wedding anniversary. You guys still be like, here's a wedding gift that's.

Still sitting in the truck I had. I had that for your birthday.

The truckle outside right now. Yeah, don't give it to me until you give.

You how many run on and get it right now? No?

No, no, no, no, no, I'll we'll exchange gifts on September fifth. Okay, I'm just looking at I can go grab it. No, I don't want to love it. You're gonna love it. Grab it, you're gonna love it, love it. I always feel uncomfortable receiving gifts in front of people. So get it all right, this is let's go.

What do you think it would be? Originally I feel like it was going to be a book.

Probably will be. It'll probably be The Daily Dad, which he thinks I don't read, but I've sent him multiple photos of me reading it. Also, Michigan favored by twenty one and a half against Fresno State. Take that run with it. Set the tone. Tennessee's favored by thirty nine and a half. Yeah, well, I can't feel time, can't feel time. Battle of the State wrapping is incredible. It's a dish of some sort. Just open it up.

Hearts pound check.

For one million dollars.

That would be something.

That's a good gift. Yeah, that's a good gift. Don't show her body. The best revenge is massive success. Frank Sinatrak, put your keys on.

Yeah, lost in the past. That is nice for my life.

Hey, that's a great gift. That's a great gift, dude, Thank you.

Thank you.

Best gift ever ever, It's ever I've never received the gift. Best gift you've ever received.

On August twenty sixth until twenty twenty four, Yes, no doubt, it's all I needed. Make sure you take that home and I expect you put that, expect you to send me a photo of it being used.

Okay, So there's there's some.

Here's why, okay, because then I know you'll start utilizing it. It won't be a gift that just like I'm not a gift, but it won't be a thing that's just like throwing the side, because that will benefit your life. As men, we do a bad job of leaving stuff in our pockets that were chilling. I'll remember where I put this. Then you're looking everywhere for me and you never find it. Just the spot that you come in

And it's not like you can just buy those anywhere.

You can't get no. Yeah, this is like as you were as you were saying, that's like, what that's a top three quote of yours.

I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's an awesome quote. I have that Neon sign in my recovery room.

I saw it. I was like, Taylor birthday, this is gonna be birthday.

It's a great gift.

And as like I always thought to myself, like, where am I gonna put this key? I don't have like a a table stand by my door.

I'm trying to work through your as well.

As you were saying that, I was like, oh yeah, I'm gonna put that in my bathroom because at night, I have this little shelf I put my wallet, my keys and everything on. Now I'm just gonna put that in there.

I think it's so funny that it's like, the bathroom is a spot where you're back, I'll put my wall keys.

But it makes sense. Yeah, because he's got my stuff boom. Yeah, it's about it making it there when I get home.

That's why I need the photo.

Now we'll cut. We'll cut this part. We'll cut this part right here, Mitch, so makes you cut this part. I don't leave my keys in my vehicle. Yeah, I don't even you do. Yeah, I had my truck right now the same.

Yeah.

But when I get home, yeah, I just I just leave.

I've gotten better bringing my keys in and putting them on the thing. But I'm I was the same way.

Yeah. Even my car got stolen twice and I still get my car back. That's keys. Yeah. Yeah, as you were driving my gift. I did just lightly put out there that Michigan's favored by twenty one and a half and they should take.

That bet twenty one and a half against too on President State. Let me scroll through since we yeah, since we don't have the gambling show this week, it's probably let people know where heads are at.

A wild parlay out there, A wild parlay by the by the slug.

Presented by the Slugs.

Now, let's let's start with this game first. Let's we'll do We'll just start with this.

We'll start with this.

We are traveling to Texas. A and M for Texas and M versus Notre Dame. A and M is favored by three points.

There's a twisted ttail gate happening from three to six pm that the boys will be at. So come look us up outside of Kyle Field right, just to let you guys know about.

I think I'm going A and M. Are you really?

A and M's favored by three But there's just something in the air that makes me think like maybe they'll be tough this year because they have some insane recruiting classes. Obviously they have a new staff. They're gonna come out fired up, especially cayle Field, Like that place is one of the loudest places in collegefora I heard.

I actually, I can't wait to hear.

You're gonna love it.

Man.

We got you know, we got ref screwed us over in our game at cayle Field.

And that's legit, that's legit. Sherman had a couple of good points about Notre Dame. I like you to say those before I make my pick. Okay, do you want to tee it up for you? Yeah? Okay. Sherman does not like Notre Dame. He's not a fan of it at all. But these got receipts behind It's not just because oh I don't like their colors. Like me personally growing up, I was never a fan of Notre Dame

Sure, okay, So growing up as a I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. My entire family, they're all horned frogs. I was grown up a huge fan of TCU. We would have these teams like the Rose Bowl team that beat JJ Watts Wisconsin team. Great TCU teams come through. They don't get the BCS bid, they don't get to go to the ship. But these Notre Dame suspect Notre Dame teams every single time in the media. They're the

It is?

Really it like week one. If they beat A and M. I would not be surprised if they went undefeated. They play nobody, they don't have to play in the conference championship, which is a huge loss for like Georgia. That Georgia team that didn't get to play in the CFP last year. Would you have won your Michigan Wolverine's lineup against that Georgia team last year? You wouldn't feel comfortable about it. But you wouldn't feel comfortable about it.

Yeah, but you don't feel that when you're when you're in the dance, brother, every team's good.

Well, would Notre Dame scare you in the dance or would you go, thank god we get to play Notre Dame.

I think the team I was able to support last year, I would be like, thank god I have this team, Oh for sure.

But you would rather you either see a draw of Notre Dame than Bama.

I think at the point, yes, I think at the point we were with the SEC. Now he's kind of been like de crowned. Thank you. It's like at that point, it's like, yo, Alabama, Georgia. You look at any of those teams, you're like, oh fuck, that's a big bad wolf. Now it's like that's just the second best conference.

They've also been outscored by like forty seven combined points in their CFP games, Like they just don't perform.

So you're saying Notre Dame for fraudulent score.

I just think they're fraudulent, and I think I think they'll probably get the win this weekend, and I think they'll probably go undefeated for the rest of the season. It really drives me nuts.

So you're taking Notre Dame and you're gonna go money.

I would take Notre Dame.

With the new.

Texas A and M is really hard to beat at Kyle Field, but with their new coach, a lot of things moving around, I haven't seen anything promising from quarterback play from A and M in a while. I would take Notre Dame. They have a really good transfer quarterback. I don't remember his name. Yeah, dude was solid before he got hurt at Duke. He was so solid. If he's playing like he did at Duke, they get out there with.

The w see. I think I think you take the minus three with A and M. But what I will be doing I'll be using my heart because I know Shane.

He will be there, he will be in attendance this weekend.

I can't just sit there and ride against I can't sit there and write against my guy. I'll be going Notre Dame money line on the DraftKings app. But I do think A and M minus three is a that's the play.

Would be the play Are you wearing Notre Dame stuff too?

Not? Can't do that? A and M's allowing us to come and be on the sideline like I wouldn't.

I wouldn't do that. Yeah, yeah, it's either neutral colors or A.

Yeah, you have to for sure have to.

But that's kind of my thought.

I love that thought.

Where are you going?

It's hard because I really thought watching f SU forsus Georgia Tech, I was like, FU is gonna wipe the floor, but not realizing that new season, new people, getting the rust off and all that, I think the edge is gonna go to the home team in this situation. I think there's a lot more pressure. Like listen to Utah

I don't have too much information backing. I don't follow A and M and note M too well. But I am curious outside of the gambling perspective to see the yell leaders in person. And I'm not gonna say anything nasty because A and M has been gracious enough to host us. But I'm interested to see this cult mentality that they have building at A and M. I think

But good thought process to have. That's a good thought process.

We see with the yell leaders still in question always that's.

All right, yeah, it's okay, well sorry, and then there's nothing wrong with asking questions curiosity.

I'm most excited to see the dog they got Ah they got a yeah, like a border Collie shell tea maybe or reverly can't wait to meet you. Seen a lot of great things about you. With that being said, I did grow up Catholic, so I do have to have to rock with with Notre Dame. And I get I didn't know Shane was going to be there, so I'll be rocking. I'll be on the ship train. I'm also on the shame train with the game calls. Will also win this week. Yeah, I'm going Notre Dame all right.

I like Georgia minus thirteen and a half over Clemson. Yes, I think Georgia will wipe the floor with.

Them in Atlanta.

And I always feel like, especially the last few years. It doesn't jp correct me if I'm wrong, but they Clemson doesn't usually start off that well or they have in years in recent years.

Yeah, I mean they never have any hard games in the beginning.

So I like Georgia minus thirteen and a half then bet and Clemson has kind of falling apart too.

Yeah.

Really, the marriage between Dabbo and I think the current college football because he doesn't like the portal, he doesn't like an il. Obviously, they're paying guys but he like is out there, like we don't need to go to the portal, like our recruiting classes are portal. Like you weren't good enough to come here in the first place. Yeah you guys, Yeah, both like guys.

You like Georgia, Yeahgia. I think Georgia's a tough ball club this year. Oh yeah, every day.

That's a team that's one that's won like thirty something and one in the last few years.

Yes, this is this is more of a hope than anything. But I hope Colorado covers against North Dakota State, their favorite at nine and a half.

That is a game, I'm telling you. And it's not because Colorado is going into Nebraska the next week. I just think you cannot sleep on North Dakota State, like they're like a legacy team in the D one double a world.

Yeah, and I really just think about us in our experience. If Nebraska and Colorado are both undefeated, Michigan and Texas both undefeated, going to those two schools next week, it's just gonna make it more fun.

Now.

Yeah, if Colorado lays an egg against North d Coota, it's like, well, fuck man, Like not really, I.

Don't want them to be pissed off going into Lincoln.

Yeah, but I think that just the storylines play up more like good. I'm with you, a solid rivalry.

Colorado can win, But I'm taking in the nine and a half with North Dakota State. Dude, I don't know. I those teams. It's like they usually have a you know, non conference game that's just like their super Bowl. And I'm telling you they're gonna be a well coached team.

Montana State this last weekend. Yeah, they came to play. I do have that five leg parlay dial h.

Yeah, let's let's hear that.

Hang on, let me go one more. Miami minus two and a half at Florida. I like Miami. I think Miami can win the ACC this year, and I think Miami can be in the College Football playoff. Man, I'm kind of wanting to buy Virginia Tech two. But Miami minus two and a half at Florida. I also like LSU minus.

Four and a half at USC. I like Lsu. I went those are my picks.

I went the opposite direction as you on both votech and Miami. I got Florida money line, West Virginia money line, Vanderbilt money line.

Who's Vandy plan Tech?

Oh?

I got TCU to cover in Oklahoma State to cover. That's my parlay.

Money lines plus four.

Oh, they're they're high. The odds are high. We're looking at plus fourteen thousand.

There ain't no way Vandy's beat Virginia Tech. I hope you're wrong because I took bader Belt money line.

Come on, I like I like North Dakota State with the points. I like again Heart Notre Dame money line. I like l s U a USC covering, and I like Miami covering at Florida, and I like Georgia covering at home against Clemson.

Those are mine.

I like Georgia.

I don't think Georgia is just gonna cover.

And you want a futures bet, we already know that. I'm I'm all about this. But the over under from the brsca's win total seven and.

A half.

Over and a half this weekend, we we're not gonna touch that. If there's anything I've learned, it's just not bet on Nebraska games, because if I bet the cover there and you know, Nebraska wins, I'm like gonna be bummed if they don't cover. You know what I mean, I don't.

Like being in that massive line too.

I'll probably take the money line just in the parlay or something.

In these early games where like good teams are playing really bad teams, like Ohio States favored by fifty and a half versus Akron. I think you get to a point where you're pulling your starters at halftime and it doesn't get to a fifty point deficit. So I would take Akron in that.

But imagine even the second Imagine the third team Alabama against Alabama. Yeah, oh hot, imagine third team Oha State playing against Akron. They're covering that. If it was eighteen and a half.

South Carolina's fair by twenty and a half. It's old dominion.

South Carolina could be scrappy this year.

Now, one team that I like that has a that has a big number attached to them is Tennessee. There thirty eight and a half, and the remember the argument last year when Jack and I were going toes on Michigan and Tennessee, and like, good teams always covered, Tennessee always happened to cover these types of games. So I would leading Tennessee and they go and a half. Yeah, they got a lot of firepower. Everyone everyone saying that kids,

All you know, it's game week.

It's game week.

He's got to reel it in slow Burn.

And well, I don't know, I want to talk about it.

What we're doing today?

Oh, we're going to Tennessee today. Yeah, we're driving to Tennessee today.

Not to give the full details, but yeah.

We're going a little sneak peek. We got a white whale joining us for an interview next week. Can we give one hint white whale.

I'm gonna give massive hint, massive bore it is he's an officer of the law. Yeah, we can get that. If that's too that's too much.

Are we gonna post about it later today, like where it would even matter? Or are we gonna save that?

That's true, let's go. He doesn't do a lot of interviews either. I know. Hey, he text us over his foot bump.

He did text us with the with the PM at the end, he like thanked us for coming on the Manning cast.

Yeah.

Oh, and I think he sent us the photo at the end of the year where he's like Eli did most of the drawings. I don't remember that he said something like that and then it was PM.

But it's gonna be awesome. One thing I want to know about you ever heard you heard the story McAfee tell us about Roulette Team. I want to know if that's true. I think it is right.

I mean, you've got a story that they tell I think that they've told often.

Has he told him?

He was on the they were on the Magnet Show talking about him.

Well, there it is. I guess I got my answer. Oh, we got speaking up. We got to be impacking for Knoxville.

Yeah, we got to get in the Will Evis. People are here for Will Levis. Let's dive into Will Evis. This he was an incredible guest. It's an awesome interview.

All right.

As we were sitting on the bus, Will Levis our guests, who should give a rid of the blaster? Right now? Give a I will say this.

We've been asking him for years.

First Titans quarterback? Really, first Titans quarterback on the bus? Yeah, you're right, isn't that crazy? I was thinking about that and Marcus has always said, yeah, come on, but then something always comes up. Yeah, So the first Tennessee Titans quarterback to ever step on it, Let's give him one more. Let's give him one more. But you're asking as we're getting on, what's changed in the bus, and literally up until you stiff on this bus. Not a whole lot.

Scared about this?

Mike, Yeah, well, comp and I we went to restoration hardware. What was it Thursday? Yeah, Tuesday days one of those days, and we were talking about doing chairs all that. We're talking to a lady who was very nice, talking about a discount. We almost got there. We kind of got there, and then all of a sudden, Hey, Wyon, don't you sleep on it. I get here to day and was like, hey, I'm pulling the trigger. Now I'm on the bus and we're learning this for the first time.

There we go going from seventy dollars Amazon chairs to some some rh ones.

Yeah, these are nice, he's about u. No, these are like five hund though.

Are they really?

Yeah?

Contract to your contract a little bit, yeah, illrustration hard that's a different ball. That's yeah, game changer. It's a game changer.

We're getting a few though, we're for the gambling show.

Yeah, that'll be a nice little deal. Yeah, the locker room. Huh, dude, let's talk about first year you're with Rabel, second year here with Callahan. It just seems like in these couple of preseason games I've seen, it's the first time since I've been in the Tennessee Titans world that I can't guess what you guys are doing next. Does it feel nice to have some variety in your playbook?

I mean, I love their offense we had last year and rabes it will always play a huge role in my development as a player. And Calli's coming in and doing a great job with the identity he wants to establish with what we got going on, and I love it. I mean, it's I think it suits my traits and it does a good job of focusing on the talent that we have across the board and distributing it evenly.

As a quarterback, what do you feel like you've learned? What are a couple of tidbits you feel like you've learned the most, because obviously Cally he comes from Cincinnati, He's worked with somebody like Burrow, and then when Burrow went down last year was what was his name, Jacob Browning?

He ends up he ends up bawling as well.

But you got you talk about the variety of offensive and everything else, Like, what's something What are a couple of tidbits like in the film room that you feel like you've picked up on that you've learned from Cali.

I think just playing within the system and really understanding the intent of the play that is putting that he's putting out there, And like I said, I just feel like the concepts that were majoring in are a little different actually than the concepts that I've typically majored in the in the straight drop back pass game and my previous offenses. And at first, it's like just kind of weird because you're not even throwing a lot of those balls.

To talk what the hogs, dude, because obviously count Brian Kin comes in, he brings his dad, and just watch in these couple of preseason games, it seems like the offensive line is playing with a whole lot of confidence. Obviously, you pay your center fifty million dollars. You take a guy JC Latham in the first round, h Scronsky, who was a first runner eleventh overall last year. But then Dylan Raiden's who is going to a fourth year. I think this is his fourth year and he's kind of

There there's been a big jump in confidence, and I think just work ethic too, Like Bill has been on those guys to really make sure they're coming out there with you know, their their head on swivel and really know o Bill Kelley. Oh yeah, no doubt he's He's

How go ahead? Did you have something I wanted?

If it was a different topic.

I was gonna see that talk about the level of protection last year when you when you started obviously game against Atlanta was unbelievable. Then after that a lot of people it was like a SIV a little bit through the offensive line. No disrespect to them, but just statistically it was what it was. You took a lot of shots. How did that then affect your confidence at all last year and then seeing the kind of difference this year so far?

Uh yeah, I know. It's not like you take a couple of hits and you start playing the game differently. You can't really think of it that way. It's more of a reaction thing, and you can't go into a drop back pass without the confidence that you have the time to make the read that you that you need to.

So, dude, as a as a rookie, what was it like for you ultimately taking over the rule of the starting quarterback Tannehill? He was down, he was injured. You come in, you play well. The job is basically yours when he comes back. Like, walk us through that, walk us through those couple weeks, because that's always like, I mean, we've all been in the locker room when a position change happens or somebody takes over a starting spot, you're kind of wondering how you know the starter's feeling, like.

You just know what it is.

Ultimately, you have to suppress your emotion because we sacrifice for the team, so you have to put your own personal agenda aside to ultimately, Like I'm sure Ryan was a good teammate, even though probably internally he might not have wanted to be. But for you in your spot being a rookie and that moment happening, what was that like for you in that moment?

It's tough because you know, every quarterback I feel like they obviously want to be that guy so bad no matter what your position you're in, Like one quarterback play is like, it's such a tough position to be at a backup quarterback just because like you know, unless you know, borrowing an injury or something crazy happening, you're probably not

Put your kind of like fingerprints.

Exactly to mesh with the rest of the locker room, you know, I didn't really have that, And being a rookie too, it's uh, it just it was it was a lot more difficult, but uh it made me. It didn't really give me an excuse to not be the leader that I wanted to, but it just gave me time to warm up to that and to use that year, that second half of that season to understand kind of what I feel like leadership should look like at the quarterback position, more looking from outside in and just getting

That's awesome. You say that because in the beginning, when you first get drafted at thirty three, Tannehill has that press conference that was kind of going around It's like, oh, it's not my job to essentially help you take Tannehill's job, which is which is true, which is true, but it kind of starts the narrative right that everybody wants to do in the media cycle of like, oh, Tannehill's not

I think what he meant by that was just like I'm not gonna you know, groom this guy to be the starting quarterback, but he's still going to. I mean, he didn't say it, but he still answered anything I ever had to ask him. He wasn't going to go out of his way to do those things. But he was always open and you know, very communicative with what he was seeing, you know, how he saw things and how it could help me. And he was he was never you know, he didn't avoid that at all ever.

There going back to draft night, how'd you feel? What was your emotion like, like ultimately falling to thirty three. I know it was like there's a range of where Will Levice could go, but ultimately falling to thirty three your emotion when you did get drafted juiced me up. But I'm sure there was a lot on your mind up until that point.

No doubt.

Yeah, it was.

It was a lot long process, you know, going through that whole year, throughout my whole senior season, in kind of hearing the things I was hearing from the people that I trusted about, you know, potential for the draft and stayed and stayed steady in that first round kind

What conversations are you having with teams too, like to where you're even in cement you even more in the thinking I don't know exactly where I'm going to go, but it seems like I could go.

In the first half the dayble one exactly the top thirty visits, I was taking the interviews that I was having with these teams. You know, some teams at the end of the first round were kind of like not even telling me, like, you know, I'm not probably not going to be there when we're there anyways, so like, you know, nice to meet you, but yeah, so it would.

Be a great feeling when they said that tea, Yeah, I was like, you probably won't be there, but they're looking at your career and you're like, might not be there?

Actually no, I mean, but we got there, and you know, I was already I got my nice suit on. I rented I think a like one hundred thousand dollars Paddock to send it back next day, sent it back, didn't even get seen with itally, It's a smart move.

Smart move.

Gosh what I was happening that day we were on the red carpet in Kansas City. I got I got everyone at the draft on the red carpet that did this interview got a hundred inch television from a brand that I won't say, you know, no free shows, smart smart, but you know, every they're expecting everyone in the draft to have first round money, to be able to have a nice big house to put this hundred inch TV in, right,

That might be even better. Actually, it might be even better.

There's mom and dad y that was that was on though. That was really cool. And then just sitting there in that room, we knew that if it got past uh really the Titans first round pick, it might be a long night and instead of uh and if someone didn't trade up for me towards the end of that first round. So you were kind of just waiting on that, waiting on that, like waiting on maybe a phone call. And I think I picked twenty nine. Get a phone call from somebody. It was a prank call from somebody.

You got a prank calls somebody you knew.

Yeah, no random number, my god, So I still have the numbers saved. I'll find them someday.

Your wheels out for vengeance.

Yeah, it was a conversation. No, they just they just like did you seturd? And like hung up?

Yeah, they laughed.

Yeah.

God, And at twenty nine you got it. You're sitting there, think how the fun again.

I literally got off the phone. I said, let's go guys.

Really. Yeah, you didn't say for the last three picks?

No, no, no, I think it was in between thirty and thirty one. Maybe not twenty n yeah, because there's only thirty one picks.

Dude, what is the feeling like? What is the feeling like when the Titans one goes by? So you and your pants are sitting there and you're like, it's probably gonna be a long night. But now you're getting to the twenties and more and more cameras are coming towards now. It essentially goes from hey, yeah the pick is in. Oh, this is who it's picked. Now let's go to Will Levis and see what his facial expression is doing, which is, buddy, that's got to be.

What else do you know? I mean, we did a good job. He just kept it.

I don't know how you are, that's your Mom right there. Yeah, I'm sure you're like, Mom, Please, for the love of God, you're making it straight. Just look, just please, just stare into the distance.

There was one point where we were playing cards. I brought cards. They didn't want to film that. I don't know why, but it was like, it's like playing, just messing around.

And so you at thirty you're like, I'm getting I'm getting the hell out of here.

I think it was just as the last pick was coming in, but in between the thirty thirty first I think that's when the call came and we're like, yeah, let's let's pack the show up and go back to the hotel. I think there was a rack of shake Shacks Burgers waiting for us celebratory four and then went to bed.

All the emotions all right.

We interrupt this episode to bring you game Time. Football season is here and we can't wait to get out to some great games as fallen and with the help of game Time, the official ticketing partner of Barstool Sports. You know how much we love game Time. I love game Time Now with their brand new game Time Picks feature, they're making it even easier to get to a game.

Game Time?

Back to the episode Dude, who who do you feel like? In your own selfish brain, feel like oki doch you the most to where? Maybe you were excited to potentially go there, and you felt like you were getting kind of the best vibe of going there, and they didn't end up getting you to where. Maybe it's like you know, you can't wait to get it back one day.

Maybe it could be the Titans. Well the Titans, yeah, yeah, but it's like, yo, y'all could have picked me out one. You're in your first round pick at eleven? What are y'all doing?

Yeah, that's I mean, that's true.

I'm sure there was a piece of you. At first. There was like fuck the Titans.

And every day and try to show them that I should have been their first round pick.

Yeah, but against every day like you son up a bitch.

Hey, they made a good pick with him. I love Pete, but now I'm not gonna give anybody any you know. But there were definitely just few teams. I think the ones that I thought I had a good shot at going to there was actually murmurs. I think a lot of people were putting bets on me to go first overall, not a lot, but like some because like someone on Reddit had leaked that I had told like a family member or something that Carolina was going to pick me

Me in Yeah for real now, but just like checking a box so they can throw them off the sin.

I mean, it was just the vibe I got. But no I knew, I knew, I confident I wasn't going there. You know, I wasn't feeling great about Houston, but Indy. I felt good about Atlanta, I felt decent about I don't know, like Vegas. There was a few few other teams, but Tennessee and Indy were the two that I felt were really vibling with me most.

But so it's Andy you like to play against.

I mean, I want to beat any anybody in a division, especially but Andy.

Yeah, really staying and by the way, you're phenomenal at the politically correct media, like you've been well trained, no doubt, But we all know it's Indy Cults. Anthony Richardson getches his shoulder. Will was like, I'm kidding, dude.

You had an interesting journey in college too, Like you were with Penn State for what three or eight years?

Yeah, two and a half years. Really, I got my undergrad there and then I was in the right in the middle of the There's a lot of big changes in the college landscape during my college career because you had to be a graduate to be immediately eligible before the transfer portal, and then when I transferred, that was right when they established the transfer portal, so I didn't really have to be a graduate. But that's what I was like on track for because I wanted to be

Why why transferred to Kentucky? Why Kentucky over the others that I'm sure.

I just, I mean all I wasn't getting the opportunities I wanted to do at the quarterback position. Like I said, only one plays and the guy who was starting for me, Sean who I'm really close with, he's with Green Bay now.

Did Was there ever, like a was there quarterback competitions going on at Penn.

State a little bit? Yeah? After my freshman year, my freshman year spring training we did or spring ball, we had a little bit of a competition and I just came out, just just got edged out. So Sewan ended up getting the job. And then I was putting the kind of a wildcat third down goal line quarterback situation spot and I just really wasn't getting the opportunities to throw the ball that I wanted to and needed to.

So would you get told by the coaching staff that your opportunities would come and happen, and then when it wouldn't happen, it almost frustrates you more. That would almost buy into like, hey, I think I'm gonna take off after this year, not in like a selfish way, but

There wasn't.

Just Sean was the guy.

It never really changed from that, and you were like, hey, I gotta kind of think about my own future.

Yeah. I just kind of saw the write and I feel like I wasn't. I just wasn't getting the opportunities. As much as they tried to kind of involve me and give me different opportunities to even throw the ball a little bit. It was mostly just stuff that I knew at the end of the day, it wasn't going to get me prepared and give me the experience I needed to to play quarterback at the NFL level. So I mean, I loved it. It made me a better

Did you ever doubt yourself? Because it sounds like when you're going through the transfer portal, you're like, I need an opportunity to show I need to go to the NFL and do X Y and Z. Was there ever a point at Penn State where like, maybe I just can't do it? No, you ever doubt yourself at all?

I always had, you know, pretty solid confidence in myself and my ability. I just I knew that if I had the opportunities to get the experience that I that I needed, then you know, it'd be hard to stop me. So I was. I was excited for that and to get the chance to do that at Kentucky was fun and just do I. I had the attributes, I just didn't have the opportunity to put them on display yet, and I was glad I did.

That photo reminds me of Miami Jack. You didn't mess with Will Levis at first. Right the photo you get the photo of him jumping over to Tennessee, and it was kind of making me think. I was like, wait a minute, Jack was kind of before the draft happened.

Well, I'm Jack, nice to meet you.

Tell him what happened?

All right, So when you were not in the first round, I put out a tweet and it was like, when you don't select Will in the first round, it's some like dumb dancing gift. And it was nothing against you. It was purely for the value play the second round. When we got you out.

Before that week bust and you're like, I hope you don't get me.

Well, I'm a Tennessee guy. I'm a Tennessee fan. So you know, previous season there was it was fun to go back and forth. So you have a rival quarterback coming into Tennessee, and you know you want to have as much fun with it as possible. But when you got selected the second round, and then when you had your first breakout game with the Titans, when you and d Hop had those like Matt what was it three TD something like that, I did my due diligence and

I know you're going to be a dog out there.

So but but it takes a man to admit when he was wrong.

April April twenty seven, twenty twenty three, Anthony Richard Greater sign Will Levis.

Wait, Jack McPherson, are you or hen even remember?

Yeah?

I don't even remember that, but that obviously again I was wrong. Pull the video of me, of me showing where is the video?

Uh? Pov the Titans passed on Will Levis?

Dude, Yes, and I was wrong.

Dude, we're feeling a Super Bowl contending team this time.

And then and then who was it?

Freezing cold? Takes?

Uh?

The Twitter account, they just repost anybody who's fucked up when you got drafted immediately, I was in Florida on a bachelor trip and I started getting notification, notification, notification, you'd been drafted, and I'm just I'm catching a lot of heat everywhere, and I was like, this is fine. We want somebody who wants the job, and I'm here to motivate him. That's my goal. And then then when he came in, him and d Hob had that game, it was it was a great first showing and.

I couldn't be happy.

I have a eight. I have a I have a number eight Titans Jersey. I have a number eight Titans Jersey. So Mac, I mean that's my name though, but it's still you.

Know, another part just to go out listen, this is what you want.

You want one of the day ones, the guys who grew up Titan fans to be pissed off, not turned around one eight and being like this is our savior.

He's also that much more heels on the ground because he's such a diehard Tennessee fan that basically any kind of quarterback in ESSEC he almost wants them to fail.

Did that year I was.

I didn't bring that, bring that that would all connected it? Huh that would all connected it?

Yeah?

I really am, I I will. I'm a massive levels fan. Now I'm really happier on the bus. And it takes a man to admit when he's wrong, and so I do apologize to you. I looked at the show notes and I was like, all right, they don't have my name on there, but I know are gonna sneak it in at some point.

I really not until that Tennessee pick. I was like, that's right. Jack didn't like you. Hey, I lovething I didn't like.

Hated. Yeah, you hated knowing Will for the short time. Will is like he's you're computing all this more more of a chip on my shoulder. Good good.

I just know that it takes a man.

Takes a man, right, Will, Right, Will, It takes a man.

And I'll be wearing my eight jersey every every home game.

I'll be in there.

Never let him.

That would be hilarious.

If there's just a photo, a mug shot at you, you can't get in Titans games, you'd be wrecked.

That would that would hurt.

That would hurt me.

But you know, if that's what means bringing Super Bowl to Nashville, I'd be willing to do that for the city of Nashville.

What a good transition do How were you received when you first got to Tennessee. How do you like were people excited about it?

It was definitely like half and half. I'd say, yeah, there were definitely people that were very excited, and there were definitely people, you know, like you were stuck college roots regards, stuck in their college roots. No, but I knew that it was gonna take some convincing for for some Tennessee fans. So I still got a lot to prove, and but just trying to keep doing the right things to turn those people's opinions around, you know, right.

And so your camp goes by, we don't, we don't hear a whole lot a couple couple of weeks ago. By now, all of a sudden, the Tennessee Titans are wearing the Houston Oiler uniforms for the first time. Tannehills got an ankle, He's got a little anky issue. He's not being able to put the uniform on. It's your first time going out. What was it like going on Nissan Stadium for the first time?

So sick? I mean, first of all, I've been waiting to wear baby blue, light blue my entire life. Just like the cool Swaggy is coolest.

The coolest uniforms, Those are the coolest uniforms in all the NFL.

Exactly, and and to be able to start my NFL career in those you know, they gave me a little confidence boost. That was cool for sure. But it was fun and it was a pretty serendipitous situation.

Oh Google, Yeah, Google, serendipitous.

No, like just with you know, we're not getting hurt. And then we had to buy the next week, so I really had two weeks to prepare for this first game of mine. So that was that was nice, And uh just was also coming back from a little bit of an injury from training camp, and it was perfectly kind of timed up with where I was finally feeling even just that week, like healthy enough to play and confident enough to go out there and do my thing. So, uh,

It was fucking awesome. It seemed like the Hop was in your ear all week. But like, yo, just throwing, which is that's the receiver you want? You want your receivers to be like that?

Yeah, I want my receivers to be you know, dickheads about wanting the ball.

You wanted me to be selfish, yes, like, hey, throw me the ball. Get frustrated when they're not getting the ball in the first three plays of the game.

My boy Colet McCoy, who was the backup Arizona who played some games last year a couple of years ago. But when, oh whenever d Hop was on the Cardinals. But he'd say he'd come to the sideline the ob back bro, just throw me the ball. And sometimes he said he would just make up a route on the fly and he would just throw it to him because he'd just be like, yeah, hey, just trust me, like, just throw me the ball, Like, don't worry about what they keep calling, Like, just throw me the ball.

Don't worry about keep calling. Yeah, yeah, you had d up and now you've got I mean, Ridley got two backs, Pollard and Spears like you a chig. You have so many guys, so many tools, Like do you feel like you've got everything you need?

Yeah, And it's gonna be gonna be tough because a lot of guys are you know, deserve the ball and they are gonna want the ball. So yeah, beyond me to uh, you know, just trust what I see and play within the offense. But we have a you know, a lot of fun players at our fingertips, and uh, you know, the backs are gonna be a lot of fun to play with and getting them in different formations, getting an empty two backs in the game. They're both incredible catching the ball out of the backfield. They both

Kicked him in the head.

Yeah, yeah, it was great. He fell from like nine and a half feet up. But I just that fired me up, because you know, not a lot of guys even think about that stuff like that. He was back in his home state. He was a leguice up.

Yeah, leonidasing somebody just said kicking them in the face. Yes, but dude, Miami game. Yeah, putting your right shoulder into somebody and everyone's getting hyped up into you. I know, Bravolvers like, listen, brother, don't ever do.

No that hurt.

I mean when I'm see jailing next all time that you know, I probably got the shorter end of the stick on that one. But no, that was cool and that was a big play and a big game and probably our most fun win last year for sure.

It has to be. Man, what a comeback.

We interrupt this episode to bring you Shady Rays get ready for a game day with the latest addition to the Barstool Sports rival collection, Barstool College. Shady Rays has partner with Barstool Sports to bring you a new lineup of premium polarized shades that are perfect for showing off your team pride. The Barstool College Collection features bold colorways inspired by some of the biggest names in college sports, ensuring you'll find the perfect pair to wp your team.

Yeah, I know, I think it's just conscious of what you just said. It's conscious of how guys tick and how guys need to be motivated and if guys do need to have that boost of confidence or moment to kind of get them going in a game or in practice or something. So it's it's there isn't a uniform way of leadership throughout the time. I feel like it's just a way of understanding people more so than and having a strategy with how you you go you go about it. But it's it's a tough job. It's probably

How do you differentiate being the leader you want to be and not forcing it as opposed letting.

It come to you exactly? You got it's got to be natural, Like you can't you can't just decide like, hey, I'm gonna be the RARA guy today and I'm gonna get guys fired up. And you got to make sure that you're true to how you feel and and kind of what you want to get out of it. And there's there's it's not to say that you can't change.

I love that, dude. Do you uh?

Do you listen to Brady a lot when he's on whether he's doing interviews, because as you we're talking about leadership, there was something really fascinating that when he was breaking it down, it made like talking about like knowing guys. He was talking like, if you're the ex receiver, if you're like one of the top receivers, but most of the time you're running out of the huddle every time out usually outside the numbers. Your route treats cutting half.

Cut off for them by themselves.

Yeah, they're by themselves. They're going as hard as possible, and then the one one or two times they don't, they get kind of like, you know, they get that stigma. But he's like just understanding that, even knowing how to try to communicate with those guys throughout the game if they're not touching the ball earlier, knowing you got to get into them quick just to like keep them involved.

I mean, that's that's the guy I've looked up through my entire life and obviously being from where I'm from and being a Patriots fan and Boston sports fan, like that was my idol, like growing up, like that's who I wanted to be, the winner that I wanted to be. So yeah, anytime I can listen to him and speak on whatever you can about, you know, the position or leadership, it's definitely something that I pay attention to.

I forget that you're a Boston guy. Stooly Stooy big ten big Stooley, grew.

Up on it.

Yeah, I was telling them I was kind of that first generation of like Instagram. I think I was like more Facebook first, but I think I got Instagram in like seventh grade or something and it was my buddy. He was like, yo, yo, you gotta follow this page Barstool Sports. He was like probably the one of my first follows after like just like my best friends and stuff. It was like Barstool Sports, ESPN Sports Center.

Yeah.

Yeah, so it's just funny. We were talking about that before and now, look at.

Who's your favorite barstool personality.

It was I'm a big cat guy.

I love I love big cats.

So you're anti no, no, no, I love.

I was gonna say Dave because I think I knew Dave first, but I was I was peing part of my takee guy. I listened to them for years, so I'm still a big fan of the show. But they're They're great and Dave's great. I've met Dave a couple of times. They are Big Cat a couple of times as well. They came to Lexington for the Reader's Cup a couple of years ago. Oh yeah, yeah, we were hanging out afterwards at some bar, so that was cool.

We were we were in New York for the draft and Big Cat was talking about you, saying you were a Stuley guy. He was singing your praises a little bit. He was about it. So you got a fan on the other side as well.

Awesome.

Yeah, do you have no should we go?

Mayo? Should we go? I also want to You seem like you come from a family of athletes. Your old man played, Your mom was an All American soccer player?

Is was she?

Is she where you get your genetics?

Yeah? I think she had a freaking six back until she had her fourth kids, So yeah, she is a beast and she was the you know tom Boy did it all kid and as a kid growing up and played baseball until high school I think, and then found soccer as your sport and ended up going to Yale. Was all American there and yeah, just a just a grinder, and both her and my dad were big athletes. My dad played D three football at Dennison University in Ohio.

Your uncle played, yeah.

Yale running back, and my and then there my mom and his dad. My mom and my uncle's dad was a coach at Yale for twenty five years.

So I did read like Yale. I think I read Cornell somewhere. It makes sense with the what was the word he said earlier, super superfluous superfluous? Yeah, polus.

I don't believe that was the word. That was not the word that was not the workous Yeah, superfolous.

Yeah. But a lot of a lot of academic I'm sure, a lot of expectation in the household grown up.

Yeah, a lot. I don't think it was more like expectations more so than it was.

Uh.

I think me and my sisters realized that there were just a lot of you know, impressive, like established people around us, and we wanted to do our best to just live up to our family's name. And I think our our our parents told us that from a young age, more so from a respect standpoint, not a performance standpoint. Just everything that we do is going to reflect our family's name for the rest of our lives. And we took that very seriously. And all of us just went

That's awesome. So all athletes, your sisters.

H the one h the oldest one is not anymore. She was an excellent athlete. The middle one just graduated from Central Connecticut, she played lacrosse there, just moved here. Actually she's going to school at Belmont for grad school. And the youngest is still in high school. But she's probably the best athlete.

Of all of us.

She's beast.

Where is the family located now?

Are they Connecticut?

Connecticut?

Connecticut got you?

And then when everyone's out of the house, do you think your parents are going to move from Connecticut?

They've been talking about it. They've been talking, not not Nashville specifically, but just like getting somewhere further down south. But last time I talked to them, they said no, they're liking the New England living.

So when it's all said and done for you, you're thinking back up to the northeast.

I don't, No. I think I definitely have like a dream vacation spot up there, like whether you know I'm Nantucket or like Martha's Vineyard or something like that, And I think that would be a really cool second contracting right next to Portois. Yeah, yeah, but I don't know. My mind's not quite there yet. Yeah, there's definitely some some really nice Yeah, always.

Fun to dream. Always for of dream and also pros and cons of not going in the first round. There's no fifth year options. Did somebody give you that conversations and that's a huge win. So now after next year, it's like voice, you put it pay the fuck up? You know, you know, you know you know what I'm saying, right, You're gonna do it right. Yeah, so the numbers gotta

Okay, I'll give it. I'll give the whole rundown.

So give me the rundown on that, because I know we got a fragrance out now that is literally sold out. You can't even get your hands on it.

Yep.

And you've really taken this thing and put it to the moon. But it started with a cup of coffee and some mayonnaise.

Yeah, it was. It was wild. In college, I was pretty active on social media, like just you know, posting you know bs that I thought was funny on TikTok whatever. If I thought it was funny, it was going up and I thought other people might get some laughs at it. Two and uh and yeah. I was making a little cash on it too. It was helping on the little on the marketing deal with nil and stuff being there,

But uh, it was.

It was a breakfast I was at and we got our coffees and there was no cream or sugar on the table, just a bottle of mayo. And some of the person I was just like, hey, you should you should post a video of you drinking it or something and that must be how they drink their coffee down here or something like that, and I was like, you know what, I will, And so I poured the mayo in, stirred it up to made a little, super little video

They want you to be the face of the franchise.

Yeah, So dealing with that, and I really like at first was like, I don't want this to be a part of my personality, you know, I want to be known for the person that I am, not like this silly antics that I might pull on camera. And it didn't take long to kind of shift that thought process when I talked to the Hellman's marketing team and they're like, no, I think there's something here, like you should lean into this,

Yeah, how long were you on set doing that?

Bullshit over and over and over and over.

Yeah.

This was at the Titans practice. It was the longest day of my summer. Actually. I did the live pro am at the Grove here in Nashville, which is an awesome weekend, and then I did a radio show for an hour, and then I did that shoot from four to midnight for to midnight. It was It was a long day and I'm pumped with how it came out. And there should be something else come not soon with them, which will should be fun. I'm excited to want to show people.

You want to break it?

Here you can see a sneak peak. You can see a sneak peak.

But are you able to are you able to say that this.

This helms hes helmets.

Yeah, it's amazing. The lake thing is so funny, he said. Those old school old spice commercials.

Yeah, you remind me of that. This that's what this whole campaign reminds me of, like kind of the old school old spice because it's so tongue in cheek, like.

Yeah, the old spice commercials were awesome. Yeah, they're unbelievable. Is it so they're the biggest player as far as your marketing goes? Is there anybody else you have your eyes on that You're like, I love to be sponsored by.

M I've been saying it ever since, and I think the day and I all became a thing. I tweeted at Levi's jeans. I was like, let's do something here. So, I mean, it's been thrown out there. I'll keep I'll keep poking them, but we'll get there eventually, I think.

Like sit on the bus making a dude feel comfortable about how good he looks, you know, was like, I don't know how to answer this question. Buddy, you check him out all the time. It's all good at that dude, Are you kidding me? That's a quarterback, not a linebacker. Yeah, I feel proud about that.

I would kill one of my producers for your body, like I would stab them with the nine inch blade.

I think you would say, though, like you.

Can roast you over a fire, put an apple in your mouth, slug a big slug, just slowly let that damn.

He was playing his ass off.

Shoutout neck rolls and the old linebacker no neck Look, you know that just it brought a tear to my eye. It was like, we are so back. College football is back, and it is a dying breed, but there are still some left, apparently at the Georgia Tech Zoo.

So they were like that player was like the first one they showed too in the first series. You're just like, oh, who is forty four about that?

It's like you had to custom make his jersey, right, I mean it was the.

Biggest traps of all.

Hey, Georgia Tech was scrappiness, scrap scrapping.

They got a dub. Yeah, okay, it's a number a top ten ranked college football team. Yeah, lost both my bets.

You already know he's had like four acs on each side.

Two, maybe Florida State a bunch of frauds fraud.

I didn't even watch most of the game.

I don't know you.

Saw the result. And you have a top ten team losing to Georgia Tech, stuff that stuff, and they played in the call. They didn't get in the college fotballlayoff last year, go to play against Georgia who should have been the college fall playoff, and get donkeys stopped. And now it's like, Okay, we're a top ten team.

We we should be in the.

Playoffs this year. And they go and do something like that. That's tough. Georgia Tech's nice, though, Georgia text nice, but it's all the antics. Florida State that they're like suing the NCAA.

R all mad. They got a few like they got they got like holl ree.

I was just on their defense a talented roster and then that was like, my god, the team ar man gotcha. They went nine times out of ten shouting out is probably the top five in this bus. Yeah from the hip to like that was incredible and he's he's kept us in check with the no free shoutouts.

Shout out to the people that make our oceans dirty, because I don't know why you would mess with these beautiful creatures. We went on a little sea turtle excursion and probably like it was a it was a baby sea turtle and he comes swimming up like the six inches to my face. The instructor, dude, Danny. Shout out Danny.

Man.

So it was cool. Yeah, it was crushed, bro crushing Uguay and me in the ocean.

I hit the Nashville Zoo last week for the first time. I'd like an hour an hour to spare. Were like kind of in the area and we saw the billboard.

He's just threw off. Let's go, Let's go.

I was so disappointed though, because they're they're advertising that red panda everywhere. Pump pumped it. I'm a big red fan Panta fan speaking of masche Fu. Come on, bro Panda, He's not He wasn't there.

Broke.

That red panda they have on all the billboards.

Yeah, all the billboards all over time, Like, come guys in Nashville Zoo. No, it wasn't there that exhibit.

Did you ask anybody? Did you ask a person saying popcorn in the corner, like, what's where's the red Panda?

I couldn't find like someone reliable enough to ask a questions too. We just went back to the lizard exhibit, which was pretty cool.

But have you seen Red Panda the movie? Yeah? I don't think I have.

I think about the Bowl girl, do.

You guys know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, the halftime performer who does the the unicycle and She's kicked. Her name is Red Panda too. That's what I was thinking.

The Disney movie, the Disney movie he's talking about going red.

Oh there is a Disney movie with the solid movie. I haven't seen that.

What was the for Shot movies were telling Will He's got to get on how to Train Your Dragon? Yeah? How have you popped that on for yet? The Bourns the Bourne movies? Yeah? Did you We're talk about Disney movies?

Oh?

I thought we were saying movies that I gotta get on.

Oh yeah, yeah, okay, I guess so that you are then, uh white fifties one? Yeah, but he said it's he said, no nice guy?

I saw nice guys?

Would you think of nice guys?

I was right next to you, was Great's tell you watching the plane?

You watch it on the plane?

Which one was that?

No nice guys? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, in the middle of your honor right now?

Just finished the first season nor I think so people people have been talking about it.

I'm phenomenal. If you like Ryan Reynolds, are gonna like that movie.

Do you watch House of Dragon our Game of Thrones?

I do, Actually, I think I finished three of the last season of House to Dragons so far I got to catch up.

But you so, what were you at in House of Dragons?

The last thing I saw was the the twins, the one that pretended to be the other to go try to kill.

Yeah, yeah, got speak more vaguely, speak more vaguely. You're gonna be oh disappointed in the finale. God, don't say sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry so disappointed. It just goes to show you gotta binge watch shows instead of staying the day.

I just watched one hundred foot Wave. Have you seen that documentary?

No?

Oh my gosh, our coaches were talking about and then I threw it through that on Insane.

What's it about?

Yeah, the biggest waves in the world and Portugal that surfing surfing? It ridiculous.

Didn't Edelman just do a podcast with one of the guys that did this. I think he.

Was one of the interviews in this Yes, Yeah, Yeah.

Games with names name shout out the boy. Yeah, dude, that is a fucking crazy thing. Why was that Maui In twenty fifteen during like Jaws, when they had that big swell come in and we were on the small little boat watching these dudes get towed in and hit the like what hit those waves? It was insane and pretentially the boat guys like driving the boats like he if these guys fall, they could basically just die. That's how big and terrifying these waves are.

Would you laugh about during jows?

Yeah, jaws is what the area is called.

Got you got you? Oh that's my bad. That's my bad during Jaws. That's bad.

That's all good, bro, that's how I see you trying to catch me. We're looking at it.

You seem presumed innocent. Great, that's a great show too. Check that one out. You can binge that.

Yeah, I need to watch that show. I have a hard time with shows, man, I have movies better than shows. I think shows you show literally eight seasons, I know. And that's where really in the middle of it, I was like, Man, this is why I can't watch shows because my add I'll literally.

Just take it.

I can't stop watching it.

But you just argued for binging shows.

I know, if you're going to watch the show being of show instead of staying up to date with the show.

Ye, you're like, but how are you personally with your two philosophy is going to be able to enjoy a show. If you're like my ad d, I can't just wait for all the.

Seasons essentially sit there and be like I got month and then in the middle lose my life to a show for and then in the middle of it you're like, see that's what you got to binge it, man, so you don't have to stay up to date on it. The the binging part was because of if you're in season two, is the season two of Pounds of Dragons? No, season three just finished? Okay, so season three of House Dragons finish season just let's say this thing goes six seasons.

Before you start watching and then you're up to date. It's tough conversation toil end of a finale. I know.

I think when season four is going to come out is when I'll probably start watching House and Dragons because I still haven't even seen Uh, thank you crazy, I know, I know, it's just too many storylines, and it's I don't know, man, I always fall back on the things I know, like Scrubs.

I'm gonna watch it just easy watches if you don't want to keep.

Up the door, just in time. It's just I love that show. Any heartbreak I ever had, will any sort of adversity I ever had Scrubs. Yes, the first show to come on. But yeah, I heard this show is amazing, and that just goes. If you're gonna watch a show, you should wait a couple of seasons, be out of the conversations a little bit, and then you binge it and you're like, oh shit, whatever, man, Yeah, let'sheit some tear talk.

Oh we got a good tier talk for you.

Do you know tear talk?

All right, tiar talk for those that don't know who might be joining in, mister and missus Levis who were probably tuned in tier talk. We're gonna tear a system here, three all the way up to one. In that order, you give a little description of why you like your tier three, your Tier two, your Tier one. You can also have an honorable mention if they just missed the cut. The tier talk today will be Mayo Combinations Mayo combinations.

Okay, Taylor, a draft, it's yeah, no, it's not a draft. You're gonna start your three. So I don't know a whole lot about Mayo. No disrespect to your game, will.

If you don't know Mayo, it's just disrespectful.

Here's a Mayo guy. So I didn't I when this, when this teer talk was presented to me, I kind of I jumped around a little bit. But my Tier three and it's gonna take me back to bourbon steak a little bit. Or you go to those kind of fancy restaurants and they got the fries come out and it's not your basic souce, but they bring on an aoli on you, specifically the garlic aoli. Anybody who's watching the show for a long time. Boy loves to fight

Have you tried to have like a flank steak or something like that with a garlic aoli? That was like our family, one of our staples as a family, like my mom would it would be like our little fancy like addition to the steak we have for that night. Yeah, which really good.

You bring up a good point when you go to a steakhouse and it's like a faux pa to ask for a sauce. Exactly, it's like that's dead. That's got to be completely dead, Like what are all the sauce you have? Okay, everything but the blue cheese. Bring it to me and I want to dip and I want to try to take out all the sauces with this one steak and figure it out. So that's my Tier three. My Tier two is a nostalgia Tier two for me, and that is Chipotle Mayo. I think Chipotle mayo is fantastic.

It's a great list.

It's a great list that is mine.

And what you brought the attention to a lot of people here today is very important, which is Mayo is the base and used in so many other great sauces and dips that people always say they love even though they say they might hate mayonnaise one, which is just a sigma I've been trying to crush the last couple of years. So I'm just I'm starting.

We're doing your work out here.

We're doing the front lines in this podcast.

Will back you?

We uh? Now? In after Tier talk, whoever went, we go around the room and we give one word. Will We'll start with you.

Tasty, saucy, yummy, veteran, solid.

Good, hall of fame hyphenated.

That would way better than I expect it, that way better than I expected.

My Tier three and it shares with yours, but just aoli in general, I feel like anytime you're you're going through a menu and you see aoli in the description for whatever reason, you might not even know if you like aoli, but it sounds nice, it sounds interesting, it sounds unique. But any type of aoli where you're mixing mayo, I think is a listen. I love fucking mayonnaise. I love mayonnaise. Did you guys read Patty Mayonnaise is where the love started?

Uh?

My tier too, that's got My Tier two is mixing mayo with ketchup. Anytime I have fries. Obviously, if you're at your Bourbons or your nice steak houses where they have an aoli to come out with it, that is great. But anytime I have fries, I want mayo, I want Ketchup. I would say, two parts Mayo, one part Ketchup.

I think that's right, two parts mayo one park.

Do you know in Europe? I think it's European, but they bring out both ketchup and Mayo together the little glass. I think America needs to adopt that. I think we need to take it on basically everywhere we go. My Tier one simply put sandwiches, any sandwich, any sandwich, I can. I can have mayo on the sandwich that's already on there, but I want extra mayo that I can squeeze onto the sandwich. That's how horny I get for mayo. I'm

Wholesome, horny.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to hear.

Overload cream two times.

All right, Patty.

Iconic, that's a good little gotta feel tough.

I well, I mean you took a couple of mine. I think the early route safe and sandwiches in general, I've always been a believer there's really no American sub that can go without Mayo. I'm gonna go number three. I'm gonna stick to my New England roots. Even though I am a hot lobster roll guy, but nice cold lobster roll he's always made and tossed with some mayo. People forget that. You know, all your like kind of you know, chicken salads, all tho kind of suads. I'm

That is your.

Sunday Saturday, you know, amazing dip appetizer. That's a staple at any kind of tailgate. You gotta have that. And a number one. I'm gonna say a burger. I think my classic best burger, like all American burger that you know you can't go wrong with, is a bacon cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and onion. If you like onion. Sometimes onions I do too, but sometimes yes, sometimes no, But I feel like.

That is raw.

That is the burger. You know. I grew up on my mom's. My mom's pregnant Craving was a Wendy's bacon eater, and I would go into the drive through with her as an eight year old and smack probably four or five Junior bac and cheeseburgers. And that's that's that is the junior bac and cheeseburger recipe. And that's how I've made my burgers and ordered them whenever I can my entire life. So that's my list.

Great job, great job.

I would take the bacon off the burger. I'm more of a purist, but you're so right about even the burger. Okay, sorry, sorry, I love you.

We're oh uh fantastic, Eli serendipitous.

Wow.

Hyphenated my qb.

Oh G malt rushmore wow, good tears of all of busting talks.

That's emotional.

That's emotional. But let him feel it. Let let him feel all the emotions flow down onions.

That's a good question, though, raw grilled.

I like both. There's a place for both. There's a place for both.

Raw.

I think raw horrible place for raw.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Raw is the move more texture, it's better.

And I love how you went with the colder lobster role because a lot of people like the warm one with the butter and everything else. But I'm always second guessing that pick because Mayo is on the fucking colder one.

But I would say I do prefer the hot.

I didn't know you loved Mayo like this. I knew you liked Mayo, but man, seeing this as wild.

Yeah, Mayo's my favorite condiment, all right, Male's my favorite condiment even when we were at what was it Joey's Oyster? Oh yeah, the cold one lobster, roll fire God, great tear talk, great tier, great tear talk. Will you've been phenomenal? Do we have any I know? We got to get my man out of ten? You got what time is it?

Right now?

We got a question, twisted question? But what is uh? What time is it? Five minutes? Or what you got? Okay?

Yep?

Twisted Tea is refreshing, hard eyed team made with real brew tea and five percent alcohol. Full of flavor and very refreshing. Twisted tea goes down smooth. There's no carbonation that makes it easy to drink all day long. Twisted Tea fuels on and celebrates extreme fandom on game day. It's a perfect alcohol slashed beverage for game day. Whether you're tail getting the parking lot, watching at a bar, or watching with friends at home. Twisted t is here

You wake up in year twenty seventy four, what is the first thing that you google? You only have like one googleable thing? What's the thing that you.

Go one googleable thing? And this is, in my opinion, emotional, maybe the best twisted question we've ever had.

This is tough. Yeah I want to I'm gonna go through my thought process here. I'm thinking first timething in family, you know, like who's still around for my family? Like who can I find? You know whatever. I'm thinking sports like recent champions I'm thinking like you know, if my you know, Kentucky they won a national championship whatever, like Titans,

Go twenty seventy four. So the people that have died have died, Like we're just frozen and we wake up and you get Google.

Yeah we were Austin Powers, we go in the crowd chamber, we wake up.

Yeah, that's a good wrinkle in it. I fifty years where Will was going with it that like you're going to go back, like you're not going to stay?

Oh is that for?

Yeah? Are we going to go back.

I think you're going to go back in time. That's why you only have one Google searchtch so you.

Can use that information to your advantage when you come back.

Okay, okay, done. I would Google so it's today, it's August what twenty sixth I would look up. So I'm going I'm getting at Google. I'm coming back. I would google what were the lottery numbers for whatever? August thirty first, twenty four Done? Send me back. I'm going to get a ticket. Probably not, I'll tell you what.

Even that idea makes your stock one that much that much nicer. One you understand the few ticker symbols that you're like, I'm right, I'm going literally all in on these mothers.

Yeah, Fortune five hundred companies right now.

But honestly, I just don't think I could not just sit at the laptop and just type in Nebraska corner Huskers National championships in football, and then you see twenty twenty five in there.

Bro, what if you saw nothing twenty twenty six like you were just three in a row. That's like that's basically say, like when and then I get to come back on.

But you're gonna fuck it all up you're gonna change the whole.

Yeah, but fly.

No, hey ya.

I'd be so sick because then I'd be trying to tell you guys what I saw and they'd be like, he's insanely delusional. We gotta get him to a hospital, and then it would happen.

But what if you if you google that and it said Nebraska corn Huskers National championships and you said the last one is nineteen nine seven, then you come back and you're like, we're gonna be great this year with the night. It's like, you know, that's not true. Yeah, that's that's like googling Like that's like, that's like googling roo, like go putting her name in there and then you could find out if she's alive or not, or what she's doing with her life. Then you go back and

Yeah, I kind of want to know when I'm dying.

That's very I don't know, brave or I don't know if that's brave courageous. Yeah, that's courageous. Of you, I wouldn't.

Just let me know.

Man.

Now, that's so I'm googling the lottery tickets for the upcoming.

Yeah, that's the right answer. I think I will stick with my thought process and do the same thing with the stock stocks and just look up Yeah, who Finance, get the S and P five hundred. Few stocks I've never heard of that probably aren't businesses that even exist yet that I know when they do exist, they're going to pop off.

So just google performing companies in the last Yeah, that's decade in the last year.

Biggest misconception of Will levis.

The biggest misconception of of Will levis I don't know. I think I just wish more people got an opportunity to just meet me in person, get to know like kind of who I am as a dude. I'm not outside of photo that I think a lot of people think I might be with, you know, like that commerc the crazy commercial. But this was an awesome piece that they put together. They did one for and one for me. But I think that gave a good look and so kind of what my day to day is looking life

The good thing is like you've spoke about it, and now you can almost lean into the to the weirdo stuff, Like everybody who knows.

You knows you.

Now you leave the world you know, now you just start leaning into the bullshit.

In my opinion, no, no, I think that's a great way because the people that will just follow you online will never that will never know You're like, who cares that their opinion is. So you can be as goofy and as weird as you want, play into it, and then everyone else is like the right people know. People are like, yo, Will's a weirdo. It's like no, man, if you knew them.

Exactly, it's like, you will really weird like that. You're like, no, he kind of just.

Fucks around, Yeah, which is kind of the best compliment. Yeah, when he kind of just fucks around really not.

For sure he's fit for a straight jacket.

It's tough when everyone's like, hey, is Will really love Nebraska that much? I have to be like, yeah, he really believes that, dude, we're rooting for you. This year man. Yeah, got that over under five and a half game for the testsee titians and I will be betting the over, don't Will, Will just I am betting the over on that. What's that? We need Will to.

Sign our new helmet.
