Speaker 1 And participating, McDonald's. Thank you again to Coors Life for sponsoring all the grit week.
It's been an unbelievable week, and it's in large part thanks to Coorz Light. Okay, let's go.

Speaker 1 Down in the streets, there is violence,

Speaker 1 and there's lots of work to be done. On a nose, if we got to look at no place to hang out the washing,

Speaker 1 and you can't blame me, all I'm the sun. But let them know we're gonna run onto electric momentum.
And then we'll take it higher, higher.

Speaker 1 We're gonna run onto electric mama. Let's do one rap.
We take it higher, higher, higher, hallelujah.

Speaker 1 We're running so hard like a soldier.

Speaker 1 And I can't afford a king on TV. You know you woman said she lost.
Even in my eyes, I'm a warrior.

Speaker 1 And I can't afford

Speaker 4 Pardon my take because anybody bought those books.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Pardon My Take, Jennifer By Coors Light. Today is Friday, August 20th, and we are recording in a very special location.

Speaker 1 We are at the Knights of Columbus on on Kenmore Ave in Buffalo, New York at Wing Nuts, our official favorite wing place of all time. It is Grit Week finale.

Speaker 1 We still have a couple interviews coming up next week that we filmed, but Grit Week finale. We are here.
We're sitting at a table. We just ordered 100 wings.
Boys, how are we feeling?

Speaker 1 I'm feeling great.

Speaker 4 I woke up this morning thinking about chicken wings still, and I had the thought...

Speaker 4 As I was getting ready, packing up my bags,

Speaker 4 I wonder if it's a crazy move to come back to Wing Nuts today. So we were out in Orchard Park talking to Josh Allen, Brian Dable, Mitch Trubisky, and afterwards we were like, where are we going to go?

Speaker 4 There's a great wing place right nearby, but we figured, you know what? Like, it's calling us. Yes.
When are we going to come back to Wingnuts next time?

Speaker 4 I didn't want to leave the city of Buffalo without having it a second time.

Speaker 1 The city of Buffalo is, it's the greatest place on earth. We went to the meet and greet yesterday.
It was like two and a half hours straight of meeting people, taking pictures, and it was awesome.

Speaker 1 And we, like, I don't know what what it is about Buffalo, something special. It must be in the wing sauce, but there's just something special about the people here, and it's so much fun to be here.

Speaker 1 A great finale for a grit week. I think are we all like still

Speaker 1 a little bit like you know, we were on the road, everyone feeling okay, road life.

Speaker 4 I'm feeling great.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we were at the studio until like 1 a.m. I slept on the bus.
I'm feeling, I'm feeling gritty as hell. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, we went to, we did the whole Buffalo because we did.

Speaker 4 It's like, that's how Native Americans used to do it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we did everything.

Speaker 4 Every part.

Speaker 1 We took every part of Buffalo. We did the wings.
We did Josh Allen. We did Bill's Camp.
And then we recorded a new track with Benny the Butcher in the studio, which will be out in a couple weeks.

Speaker 1 That, yeah, there was a moment where I was like, I should have been in bed three hours ago, but I'm here recording a

Speaker 1 song with Benny the Butcher, this fucking rules.

Speaker 4 Benny the Butcher is Buffalo. He's the nicest guy in the world.
We sat down, we recorded.

Speaker 4 We got to see him do his entire creative process, which was him coming to the studio, listening to the track, which I was a little bit nervous about that because like we just came in with a track that me and Arian put together and did not have any idea if it was going to be something that he would vibe with.

Speaker 4 He walked into the engineer's room, five seconds, he's like, yeah, I can fuck with this. And that's all that he needs.

Speaker 4 So he takes like five seconds to hear the track, sits down, writes it in his head, steps into the booth, like 30 seconds and he's done. Absolutely nails it.

Speaker 4 Everybody's like, holy shit, we just, this is better than watching Picasso paint. And then we're like, who's next? And then Big Cat has to follow up and he butchers.

Speaker 1 It sucked listening to his flow and then I have negative flow. But it was an incredible experience.
Sass and Roan on the track as well. Two people not on the track

Speaker 1 because we care about Jake and Billy. So there was a dog in the studio.
That's why we didn't bring Jake.

Speaker 1 And Billy, if we walked into a studio to record a rap song, everyone would be like, who brought the cop? So we didn't bring Billy.

Speaker 1 What did you so Jake and Billy were the only two who were left behind? And they went on a date last night. You guys went on a date in Buffalo.

Speaker 5 Yeah, we went to a bar, had some nice cores lights, mountains were blue. Okay, grabbed some sandwiches, and it was a good time.

Speaker 1 Anything like remarkable? Any wing challenges that Billy failed at?

Speaker 6 No, we did some Rubens, some really good Rubens, it was a great time.

Speaker 4 Okay, so when we told the people at the Bills Stadium where you guys went, they just immediately laughed. They were like, Yeah, that's where we used to go when we were 17 years old.

Speaker 4 Oh, where did you guys go? Was this like a high school bar?

Speaker 5 This place called J.P. Fitzgerald's.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice. Yeah, nice.
Shout out to Pylor at the bar.

Speaker 1 Do they have Flare on the Wall? No. Like Waiting.
What is that? Yeah, the movie Waiting, yeah. Shenanigans?

Speaker 4 Shenanigans, yeah. You have to have a minimum like 12 pieces to flare.

Speaker 5 I lost him some Major League Baseball on a Wednesday night.

Speaker 1 Oh, it was off the space. It was off the space.

Speaker 1 You were watching the Yankees game.

Speaker 4 Wow. So, wait, this morning, so I think the reason Big Cap brought it up was because this morning you guys were like, boy, do we have a story to tell you?

Speaker 1 I was giggling. That was Billy hyping it up.
We just got to see what you're saying. Billy said we're going to be able to get some of the comments.
Tell me, like, what's.

Speaker 6 Well, you guys had a lot of fun. And last night we wanted to show you guys we had a little fun, too.

Speaker 1 What did you you guys talk about? Just talked about like goals. How we got here.

Speaker 1 Guess what? Let's talk about goals.

Speaker 1 What goal did you share, Jake?

Speaker 1 I mean, we all have goals. Yeah? Give it to us.
We sure do. What was, I would imagine Jake's like, my goal is Sunday night football, broadcasting Sunday night football.

Speaker 1 And Billy's like, I just want to squat 350.

Speaker 1 Which

Speaker 1 along those lines?

Speaker 4 Jake's like, I want my mom to be proud of me. Billy's like, I want the biggest frog.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jake's like, I just want want to, I want to be able to broadcast my alma mater in a basketball game, go to the dome, Syracuse, a coming home moment. And Billy's like,

Speaker 1 I just want to figure out the right mix of creatine and whey powder so that I don't get the bloat.

Speaker 1 Did we nail it? Did we just get the clothes off?

Speaker 4 You did miss a great dog last night, though. Yeah.
Benny the Butcher's dog. It's like a nine-week-old golden doodle, and his name's Sawyer.
And he made sure to tell us it's not like Tom Sawyer.

Speaker 4 It's named after the gun. Sig Sawyer.

Speaker 1 Sig Sawyer.

Speaker 4 So, yeah, he's got a dog named after a gun.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 4 It is actually funny finding ourselves in those situations once every couple years where we're in a studio with professional engineers, professional producers, and maybe the best rapper alive,

Speaker 4 Lil Sass, and Betty. Yes.
And then Roan, who's really good. And then me and Big Cat just parachute in once every two years.
And we're like, yeah, we're rappers for the day. So bad.

Speaker 1 My flow is so bad.

Speaker 4 I think it's going to end up being a really good song.

Speaker 1 It's a crisis of confidence every time I have to get in front of a mic in a rap studio.

Speaker 4 I'm not a drug guy, but it would have been disrespectful for me to not partake in the party favors. And you're still high.
I'm still high.

Speaker 1 A little bit. A little bit.
I can tell your brain hasn't turned on fully.

Speaker 4 So I was talking to one of his guys, and they were talking about going out to California and hanging out with Snoop and how they smoked with Snoop.

Speaker 4 And I was like, I've heard that his stuff is really good. Like, he gives it to people basically to alpha them to knock them out and be like, look, I'm Snoop.
I'm still your dad.

Speaker 4 And he was like, nah, it was just as good as ours.

Speaker 6 So whatever I had last night, yeah,

Speaker 4 good percentage that I am am not fit to operate heavy machinery.

Speaker 1 Buffalo. All right.
So anything in the sports world? The only thing I had two stories that we could touch on. One is Max Kellerman is out.
So

Speaker 1 officially, like Stephen A. Smith, I think Skip officially has won this breakup because Stephen A.
Smith is now moving on from the rebound.

Speaker 1 It was a five-year rebound or whatever.

Speaker 4 Yeah, they were both rebound situations, but I think that Shannon has actually grown into being like, you know, like Skip's keeping him around for a little bit. Like, I don't mind this.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 I listened to the Undisputed podcast the other day. Love him on FS1.

Speaker 4 He's the man. It was actually a really entertaining show.
Yeah. I actually downloaded the podcast and I was like, this is good.
I'm into it. So I think that Stephen A.

Speaker 4 Smith is basically like, now he's moved on to getting into a battle with Mike Greenberg over like whose man's is ESPN, who's Batman, who's Robin over there.

Speaker 4 So they're getting rid of Kellerman, and it's going to be, I guess, just a rotating cast.

Speaker 1 They're getting rid of him, though, right?

Speaker 4 Well, no, they're moving him on to the Greenie slot in the morning on the radio show yeah but uh it's just gonna be like a rotating cast of characters for uh stephen a smith to just like step up and mow down verbally he's just gonna dominate everyone coming coming it's like almost a espn hazing which they do

Speaker 4 also it's cannon this is yeah whoever the new guy is it's like get abused and dominated by stephen a smith put down like the dog whisperer holding like with his hand on your neck on live television yes um so yeah i don't know i don't know who they're gonna fill it up with like i really don't they need to bring skip back skip is not, he's not skipped a beat, no pun intended, but I saw this morning, he was up at 2 a.m.

Speaker 1 and he was tweeting and Instagramming at LeBron saying, I'm up at 2 a.m., about to get my first workout, and where are you at, LeBron?

Speaker 4 Well, Skip's also on tilt from the whole Urban Meyer doing the restless snipes to New Jack City.

Speaker 1 It's been a tough week, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And then the other one was Andy Dalton saying that it's his time now. So that's nice guy.

Speaker 4 Nice guy, Andy Dalton. It's his time.

Speaker 1 I still can't believe he said that, but whatever.

Speaker 4 You have to say it, though.

Speaker 1 What do you expect of us? Well, what the Bears

Speaker 1 is the exact same thing. Just feels better than me.

Speaker 4 They did the exact same thing with Mike Glennon, where they're like, hey, we're going to get you in because we want you to be the starter.

Speaker 4 So he has to at least pretend like he's still the starter for a while and then hope it all works out after the fact. But yeah,

Speaker 4 you're right. He's a nice guy.
He's a nice guy.

Speaker 1 Nothing bad to say about Andy Dalton. Nothing.
This guy's a veteran. I wish him the best possible outcome as a backup quarterback.
It's also

Speaker 4 trying to figure out, it's the second to last week of the preseason. Is this dress rehearsal week?

Speaker 1 I think. Well, so

Speaker 1 we were just interviewing Josh Allen and Brian Dable. Josh is not playing in the game on Saturday, so I don't know if it is.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but I also think that's the Mitch move where it's like, this is revenge game for Mitch. But we want him to play against the British.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I think dress rehearsal might be gone.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I'm so confused by it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because we three, they're not going to play, probably.

Speaker 4 Maybe the first half. We need someone who's really good at fractions to figure out, like, what does three-quarters of three games translate into?

Speaker 4 Like 75% of three games, I think it's like the first half of week three. Yes.
It might be dress rehearsal.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so it is very...

Speaker 1 These are the dumbest things that we think about, spend our time thinking about, but they are. Oh, it's important.
Yeah, it's very important.

Speaker 1 All right. Anything, some people walking in.

Speaker 1 Wingnuts? You didn't even explain

Speaker 1 coming here yesterday why we came here. Yeah, so yesterday we came to wing nuts.
Well, let's, we're going to get Ed in here in a sec. So we'll do that.

Speaker 1 Is there anything else story-wise before we get Ed on?

Speaker 4 The football team's narrowed it down to, I guess, three finalists, but they released a list of eight finalists.

Speaker 4 So it's amongst the Armada, the Brigade, the Commanders, the Defenders, the Presidents, the Red Hogs, the Red Wolves, and then the Washington Festival. Those are names.

Speaker 1 Just keep it for football.

Speaker 4 It's eight. So if they make the playoffs, it has to stay a football team.
Hank's shaking his head no, because you don't understand that we're a football team and we play football.

Speaker 1 Keep the football team. Teams need mascots.

Speaker 1 I'm okay.

Speaker 4 I like Red Hogs. I like Red Wolves.
I also think that they might just say this is a fake list and bring back Sentinels. I think they like Sentinels for some reason.

Speaker 1 They should go bullets. Bullets? Okay.
I'm down.

Speaker 1 And the only other thing was Billy's wing video that was the most disappointing video of all time.

Speaker 4 How's your butt?

Speaker 1 And I was also chipping myself to death during it.

Speaker 6 I'll save it for my Fire Fest.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right, perfect. Any other sports stories? The Yankees are back all the way back.

Speaker 1 I wasn't able to watch right at the studio, so I didn't get to watch, though. I haven't given him my full attention yet, so that probably had something to do with it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, also an early who's back, Rashid Wallace. Yes.

Speaker 5 He's joined Penny Hardaway staff, and he's reuniting with Larry Brown.

Speaker 1 They're both assistants.

Speaker 5 Yeah. Of course, those Pistons.

Speaker 1 Larry Brown is on that team, too.

Speaker 5 He just got hired this offseason, too. So that bench is crazy.
And they just got a number two recruit, Jalen Duran.

Speaker 1 They're relevant again.

Speaker 4 Larry Brown's definitely a Jim Calhoun guy who retires to go coach more basketball. He's never going to not coach basketball.

Speaker 1 He's an advisor that slowly just sneaks his way into the bench and then next thing you know, he's coaching the team.

Speaker 4 But if you're a kid, why would you never, why would you say no to going to play for Penny Hardaway and Rasheed Wallace? It'd be awesome. Rasheed Wallace, the man.

Speaker 1 It would be incredible.

Speaker 4 All right,

Speaker 1 I think that's all the stories. I mean, I'm trying to think if there's anything else.

Speaker 1 I mean, there's, we've been on the road. We're going to get to our Firefest.
We're going to get to our Mount Rushmore. Anything else that we can think of that,

Speaker 1 Billy?

Speaker 6 OnlyFans is taking off explicit content. Oh, no.
Which is sort of like McDonald's stop selling burgers.

Speaker 1 That's a good analogy, Billy. Damn.
I like that. Thank you for speaking in my terms.

Speaker 1 That sucks. How much money is your OnlyFans a month, Billy? I shut it down.
Oh. Billy Feetball.
No, I was saying how much of your subscriptions. Yeah.
Oh, no, I don't know. What's in your budget?

Speaker 1 Are you just like...

Speaker 4 Well, so it said like sexually explicit content, right? So I don't think that nudes are always sexually explicit. They can be beautiful.
Listen. So where does the line get drawn between like a

Speaker 4 painting of a French girl done by Jack from Titanic and then just like hardcore pornography? Where's that line? Because you could have tasteful nudes on OnlyFans.

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's also just, I mean, anytime they try to take porn off of the internet, it's like that's what the internet was

Speaker 1 is the driving engine behind the internet is porn.

Speaker 4 Yeah, no, it's like they're trying to shovel a driveway in Antarctica.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like you can't, like, this is what it is.

Speaker 1 If you took all the porn off the internet, people would just not be on the internet anymore.

Speaker 4 Do you think it'd be like verbal meme, like, if the world didn't have porn and it's the like city of the future?

Speaker 1 Yes, I think so too. Yeah, absolutely.
Now we're sounding like Josh McCount. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's true.

Speaker 4 You could take off in Omaha and land and where?

Speaker 1 I think it was he took off to Detroit and they said, we're in Omaha.

Speaker 1 Like, what? We're not supposed to be here. That's what happens when you go down a rabbit hole of porn.

Speaker 4 I'll tell you this: somebody that spends time out of their day going to film an anti-porn PSA watches a shitload of porn.

Speaker 1 Yes, they're overcompensated for something.

Speaker 4 If you don't watch porn, you don't go around telling people, Hi, hey, my name's PFT. I don't watch porn.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
Sure. You don't watch porn.
Not a porn guy. Not horny.
Not a porn guy.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's get let's try to get Ed on, and then we're going to have Josh Allen and Brian Dable on the show.

Speaker 1 Again, we tape, we have a couple extra Grit Week interviews coming next week. So we have Mitch coming on Monday and then Ryan Fitzpatrick on Wednesday.
So it's a little like grit week ball.

Speaker 1 It's the it's the

Speaker 1 credits roll and then you sit in the theater and it's like the funniest moments came after.

Speaker 4 Sometimes that's the best stuff.

Speaker 4 I don't think that there was any real like rhyme or reason to what order, whether we decided to go with like Rivera first or Fitzy first because I think they're both great interviews.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, they're all great.

Speaker 4 So yeah, it's going to be amazing. Should we get Alicia too?

Speaker 1 I think it's only two of them, so they got to

Speaker 1 make the fryers. Yeah, gotcha.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 4 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 4 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 4 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 4 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 4 Okay, actual breaking moves.

Speaker 4 There has been.

Speaker 4 Yep.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 We're going. That's grit.

Speaker 4 There's been a cowborn named Baby Ben with a seven

Speaker 1 on his head. That's sick.

Speaker 4 Baby Ben.

Speaker 1 That's awesome.

Speaker 4 Hank is giving me the look, the CAP look.

Speaker 1 That's Baby Ben.

Speaker 4 That's Baby Ben.

Speaker 1 But don't call Ben a cow. But that is Baby Ben.

Speaker 1 I'm not throwing out the hat flag, but. You know what? Yeah.
What? I just don't know. I feel like we got something else to say.

Speaker 1 There's like a repurposed thing. Oh, that might be a repurposed thing.
Something that's been out there that just gets to be. That's okay.
It's new to me.

Speaker 1 It's new to me.

Speaker 1 It's new to me.

Speaker 4 I don't think that Reddit would repurpose something.

Speaker 1 It's new to me.

Speaker 4 No hat detected.

Speaker 1 I love it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Jake, you want to give us one? No cap. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 You guys asked me to. Yeah, I know, but it's still hers.

Speaker 4 I'm beginning to see the other side of the table.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 4 When I would say things and you guys would hear it, I'm going through that same experience right now with Jake.

Speaker 1 It's like a deep in your belly, you feel it when someone throws it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's like the people that don't have empathy for a situation until they go through it themselves. That's what I'm experiencing.

Speaker 1 So now you understand Hank Liam, and Billy doesn't even be listening. But Hank, Liam, and I have been going through this for a very long time.

Speaker 4 The rest of the world.

Speaker 1 Yes, the rest of the world. Okay, we got our guy Ed here.
So a little backstory. So yesterday we were in Buffalo.

Speaker 1 A listener, Joe,

Speaker 1 tipped me off to this place called Wingnuts. We walked in.
It's in a Knights of Columbus, so it's not even a restaurant. It's a kitchen in the Knights of Columbus.
We walked in.

Speaker 1 At first, we're like, we're in the wrong place. This isn't a restaurant.
This isn't a place that we should be. Then we walked in the door and we're like, no, this is the greatest place on earth.

Speaker 1 We're here.

Speaker 1 And we got a bunch of wings. We started talking to our guy, Ed.
Ed and his wife, Alicia,

Speaker 1 run Wingnuts. And we woke up this morning and said, we got to come back.
So we're taping the podcast at the Knights of Columbus at Wingnuts.

Speaker 1 And we figured we have to get Ed on for five minutes to explain to us how he created the greatest wing that we've ever had.

Speaker 7 Okay, well.

Speaker 7 Back in 05, my wife and I went out for wings and they were terrible.

Speaker 7 And we were driving home and we're like, how can we live in Buffalo, the capital of the world for chicken wings and have them be this bad?

Speaker 7 So we decided to identify the problems and start working on them. And we identified three problems, size, sauciness, and crunch.
And we thought if we could get that into a wing, we'd have a product.

Speaker 7 So we started with a little tabletop deep fryer in our basement and we threw in two wings and we tried them. Oh, they were terrible.
We threw them away.

Speaker 7 And we tried two more and oh, they were horrible. We threw them away.
And we did this over and over for a year.

Speaker 7 Finally, we hit the texture that we serve now.

Speaker 7 And in doing so, we were creating the sauces.

Speaker 7 And then when we were ready, we decided to try them out on some of our friends. So we had two or three people over to our house on a Friday night.

Speaker 7 That turned into 23 people over to our house on a Friday night.

Speaker 7 And we ended up busting out of our basement and ended up in the backyard. So we had people come to us and ask,

Speaker 7 if I do a party, would you guys make wings for it?

Speaker 1 And we were like, yeah.

Speaker 7 So

Speaker 7 we ended up getting a restaurant-sized deep fryer. And instead of doing drop-off catering, we actually took the fryer with us to every single single party and cooked the wings on the spot.

Speaker 7 Sometimes it was upwards of 800 in a day.

Speaker 8 And it was very successful.

Speaker 7 People kept asking us all over if we would do this. And we did bunch parties, but we couldn't do anything in the winter.
So we ended up doing this for nine summers.

Speaker 7 And then some guy came up to us and said, I had your food at one of the parties.

Speaker 7 I'm buying a bar, and I'd like you and your wife to work for me, make the Wingnuts wings in the Wingnuts' name in exchange for bringing people in. And we said, yes.

Speaker 7 And we worked there for 10 months, and it was over. The job ended, and he moved or something.

Speaker 7 But a few months later, we were driving by the Knights of Columbus one day, and the sign outside said kitchen for rent.

Speaker 7 So we turned around and we got an interview, and we asked them, aside from renting the kitchen, can we rent this room too?

Speaker 1 And now we have a dining room, and we've been here for three years now. Incredible.

Speaker 4 And so

Speaker 4 you were thinking about maybe expanding a little bit over the last couple years. I guess COVID was tough on the business.

Speaker 4 I know you guys can't even do the gravy now or the beef because of the prices and things like that. Right.

Speaker 4 But you guys were about to expand. And you know what? You can't do it just yet, but you're still looking maybe in the future.

Speaker 1 Oh, yes. That's the goal.
We do want to get out of here. Yes, yes.
Even though this is like it's incredible to walk in here because it felt like

Speaker 1 it's just a unique experience. Well,

Speaker 7 Alicia and I are very quality-based. All of our food has to be top-notch or it doesn't go on the menu.

Speaker 7 Now, you guys know what the wings are like, but her and I have a whole bunch of recipes that are just that good.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 7 The problem is we don't have the equipment in the kitchen or the storage or the refrigeration or any of that stuff to be able to do them all.

Speaker 7 All of our recipes sit in a folder in our dresser drawer at home, waiting for the day when we have an actual real kitchen and a real restaurant.

Speaker 4 I love the story behind it because I told you this yesterday. That's a quote from Gandhi is, be the change you want to see in the world.
And you took that and applied it to wings. Yep.

Speaker 4 And you did a hell of a job. They're amazing.

Speaker 4 They are honestly the best chicken wings I've ever had in my life. And I've eaten probably thousands, tens of thousands of chicken wings.
They're the best. They're as advertised.

Speaker 4 And we just got back back from talking to Josh Allen. We went out there.
We told him, you got to try wing nuts. So he's going to come.
I don't know. like, he didn't give us a time frame.

Speaker 1 He's going to come by.

Speaker 4 He's going to try your wings. Yes.
And, yeah. And if he loves them, he's going to keep coming back.
And he's going to tell the bills, too.

Speaker 7 My prayer is that we're not sold out when he walks in.

Speaker 1 Yes, that's true.

Speaker 1 So we came here, we posted about it.

Speaker 1 I hope that didn't get a bunch of people, like too many people coming here, but we loved it. We loved it.

Speaker 7 After you folks, we're already sold out today.

Speaker 1 Really? And it's like 2 o'clock. That's incredible.
So

Speaker 1 let's end with this, the Bills this year. How are we feeling? So you told us yesterday your whole story.
Bills,

Speaker 1 lifelong Buffalo guy, Bills through and through.

Speaker 1 Is this the year? Yep. Okay.

Speaker 1 Done.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I mean, Josh, if you can hear this, I've loved the Bills my whole life, and you are the man.

Speaker 7 I mean, like I said, I was at the very first game I ever played in Rich Stadium. Yeah.
And it was wonderful, and I have been a fan. I played high school football.
So, I mean, football's king.

Speaker 7 There's no doubt about it. Football is king.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.
And

Speaker 7 so that's the deal. I just won Super Bowl, you know.
I mean,

Speaker 7 watching four in a row go down, I was just so hard.

Speaker 1 And the fourth one, were you like...

Speaker 1 Yeah, we're not going to be able to do it.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you knew right away.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 But it was the first one that killed me the most because it was on my birthday.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, your birthday weekend.

Speaker 7 You know, everybody in this city thought they were going to win it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Did you watch the 30 for 30 that they produced, ESPN?

Speaker 7 Yes. The one with

Speaker 1 the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Was that hard to relive it? Although, I mean, it also is, it's one of those things.

Speaker 1 Maybe, obviously, you didn't win a Super Bowl, but enough years have passed where it's like, that was an incredible run.

Speaker 7 Oh, you know, there are more Buffalo Bills from that fourth Super Bowl run in the Hall of Fame than any other team that never won a Super Bowl. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 7 And I am, I couldn't be more proud of that team. I love Jim Kelly and all those people.
Saw them play live hundreds of times. Just, you know, I went to games all the time back then.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 And I was at the very first game. Cornelius Bennett came out wearing 55.
And you couldn't believe how fast that guy was.

Speaker 4 Do you have a favorite Bills moment of all time?

Speaker 7 I have a favorite Bills game.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 7 The Oakland Raider AFC Championship game. That was their shining moment.

Speaker 1 That game. In that 30 for 30, they had a bunch of clips from it.

Speaker 1 It was like a perfect cold Buffalo day and looked like the biggest party of all time.

Speaker 7 And there was no team in the league that was going to beat Buffalo that day.

Speaker 7 And the way Jim Kelly geared the no-huddle offense, I would love to see

Speaker 7 Josh do that, you know, because he's got everything he needs to just walk right through defenses like they're not even there.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so that's what we need to do.

Speaker 4 We need to get home field advantage for the Bills this year, get them in the playoffs all the way at home, have some snow games, some snow football in Buffalo, and then we'll have you cater the AFC championship game after party.

Speaker 7 My goal for wing nuts would be

Speaker 7 30-foot semis to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Oh, there we go. Yes,

Speaker 7 that's been the dream for a long time.

Speaker 1 I love it. Well, Ed, you're the best.
We really, I mean, we're back a second day in a row, and hopefully, we'll get something going with Josh. And

Speaker 1 I want to see Ed and Alicia wing nuts to the moon because it's that good.

Speaker 7 I appreciate it, guys. You guys are the best.

Speaker 3 And go, Bills.

Speaker 1 Go Bills. Go, Bills.

Speaker 1 What's up, guys? It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey. How do you make an Irish entrance? You ask?

Speaker 1 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 1 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt. Age four years in bourbon bourbon barrels.

Speaker 1 Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 1 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish Apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 1 So get out there and make your Irish entrance. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 4 And now here is Josh Allen and Brian Dable.

Speaker 1 Okay, we now welcome on very special guests. We are at Buffalo Bills training camp.
It is Grit Week 2021. We're brought to you by Coors Light.

Speaker 1 We have five-time Super Bowl champ and national champion, offensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, Brian Dable.

Speaker 1 And then we have MVP of the famous potato bowl, Josh Allen. You might have heard of him.
So thank you guys for joining us. We start every interview on Grit Week with the same question.

Speaker 1 By the way, you'll hear practice in the background. They're like hitting sleds.
It's very gritty. But let's start with you, coach.

Speaker 1 What does grit mean to you?

Speaker 8 I'd say that guys that never give in, have a lot of toughness,

Speaker 8 probably have faced some adversity in their life or failure on a practice field and really didn't let failure define them, but more refine them, if you will, which I think we got a lot of guys here that kind of define that word.

Speaker 1 Okay, and Josh? I'm going to one up you. Buffalo.
Yeah. There we go.
There you go. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a few words.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's simple, but I like it. You were talking about not letting failure define you.

Speaker 4 What if you failed so much on the football field that you decide to start a podcast instead talking about football? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 So you embrace that. Well, if I was making what you guys make, that might be okay.
Yeah, that's true. 82k an episode, no deal.
No doubt about it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I could see like if you were a kicker, maybe, you know, and you tried it out and made a couple field goals, but maybe didn't make the team. Like podcasts would be probably where you started.

Speaker 1 With that one IR

Speaker 1 one face mask. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah, those who can't kick podcasts.

Speaker 1 I've good one before.

Speaker 4 That needs to be a teacher. Actually, when I say it out loud, that's really depressing.

Speaker 1 So we have coached Abel for about 15 minutes. Then we're going to, people are probably like, why haven't we brought up Josh Allen owing us $15 million? We're going to get to that.

Speaker 1 But, coach, so you have coached under some incredible guys, Sabin and Belichick, a bunch of different coaching trees. Sure.
Who's funnier, Belichick or Sabin?

Speaker 8 They're both a little different. I'd say Bill's kind of dry humor.
Nick will get you some zingers in there. I'd say Nick definitely dresses better than Bill.

Speaker 8 That's probably the big difference between the two.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 8 But both awesome coaches. Grateful I had the opportunity to work for them.

Speaker 8 Bill's dry humor, though.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he does great impressions of both.

Speaker 1 Can we get a Saban impression?

Speaker 8 Yeah, no, I should.

Speaker 4 Honestly, if you did a Nick Saban impression right now and it went viral, would he kill you?

Speaker 8 No,

Speaker 8 I don't think he would. But I mean, this guy's more of the impression guy, so I'll leave that to him.

Speaker 1 But serious question about Belichick.

Speaker 1 So you went, you were at the Patriots then you went with Mangini yep so you were basically Fredo you like went against the family and then you went back to Belichick how did that conversation happen when you were welcomed back in

Speaker 8 yeah I mean Bill Bill is great he had an opportunity to talk to him kind of when it went down in terms of Kansas City and had a good conversation with him he's he's the best man he's a he's a mentor of mine he's been he's been awesome he just you know he called me and said what do you think And I said, yeah, that'd be a good deal.

Speaker 1 Okay, so last Belichick question. So when you're coaching against him, you're coaching offense, he's has his hands in defense.
Do you ever psych yourself out?

Speaker 1 You're like, he thinks I'm going to do this, so I'm going to do this, but then he knows I know that he knows that.

Speaker 8 Yeah, Big Cat, I think that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, okay, all right. That happens sometimes, you know.

Speaker 8 I think that whether it's Bill or either other guys you work with, you're always sitting there and game planning and thinking, shit, they're going to do this. Nope, let's do this.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he knows knows what I think I'm going to react, so now I got to do the other thing, but he also knows that's how I'm going to react. Exactly right.

Speaker 1 All right, I'm already coach Klein from Waterboy.

Speaker 3 Yeah. You give to the running back.
No, you fake. Yes.

Speaker 1 You fake to the running backs. Yes.
That's how I, yeah, I would just be paralyzed and never get the play call in.

Speaker 4 So one thing I love about your offense is, well, I mean, especially like the Hail Marys, the fullbacks. I love those plays.
Whenever you incorporate them,

Speaker 4 I'd like to encourage you to run more of them, but you do use a fullback.

Speaker 8 That was a long night. He called and said, hey, can we get this in? I said, shit, that's what you want.

Speaker 4 yeah. But I do love that you use a fullback because I feel like it's gone to a point in football where so many teams have said we're never going to have a fullback on our team.
And

Speaker 4 defenses have kind of like adjusted to that a little bit. So if you do have more of a smash mouth element, you do get a competitive advantage at times.

Speaker 4 As a fan of the fullback position, can you share with me what makes you love that so much?

Speaker 8 Well, it gives you another lead blocker, and then sometimes it puts defenses into base defense, if you will.

Speaker 8 so if you're evaluating let's just say you're evaluating team b you're getting ready to play them and they have a fewer amount of calls in base defense maybe that helps the quarterback out look everything we do is to try to help this guy out

Speaker 8 so if that's the case that's that's a good deal for us

Speaker 8 but fullbacks you're right you know you look at these college you're in college and you're recruiting and you're doing all these things They're a dying breed. There's not many of them out there.

Speaker 8 Not many little kids in Pee Wee football say I want to be a fullback anymore. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Secretary.

Speaker 1 Are you going to more CD formation this year?

Speaker 8 Yeah. Yeah, you're not getting me on that one.

Speaker 8 That might be good. I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 Josh texted me last night and he's like, we got to get coached with some bofas and some CD nuts.

Speaker 1 No. All right, we'll have to figure out something else.
My boy Johnny Ligma tried to get me on that.

Speaker 4 Big guy brought up Belichick and Saman. There's also Tony Sperano.
So we were a big fan of the Wildcat formation when it came out.

Speaker 4 I've always thought that just the name Wildcat made it catch on way more than it would have if it it was called something stupid. But like hearing Wildcat, it was like, oh, I want to try to run that.

Speaker 4 When you were working with him, I think that was past when that was.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I got there after. Yeah.
I got there after with it when they had Ronnie Brown and those guys. But go ahead, sorry.

Speaker 4 I was just going to say, did he ever look at you like, maybe just put one Wildcat play in this weekend?

Speaker 8 Yeah, no, Tony was the best. God rest his soul.

Speaker 8 He was an awesome man. I'll tell you, there's a...

Speaker 8 You know, there's a little

Speaker 8 carnival up here. It's kind of big.
It's a little church carnival. There's a lot of people that go to it.
You know, beer tent and little things like that.

Speaker 8 You know, high school reunion from probably 1970 to 2010, right?

Speaker 8 So he comes up and visits me in the summer. He's like, let me go to this.
He's got this dry voice. Let me go to this carnival with you.
So I'd bring him to the carnival.

Speaker 8 And, you know, it's a bunch of people from Buffalo, my hometown, some towns around there, and no one really knows who he is. And he had a great time, right? So we're in a preseason game.

Speaker 8 And I'd call a play, and he'd be like,

Speaker 8 you don't want that, Tony? Like, I'll do something different.

Speaker 8 No, go ahead.

Speaker 1 It hit.

Speaker 4 Maybe we'd catch it.

Speaker 8 He'd run 10 yards. He wouldn't say anything.
I'd call it again.

Speaker 8 Minus two. I knew that was going to happen.

Speaker 8 So we hit another one. He gives me an we score.
I think it was to Reggie. And I'm on the field, you know, screaming, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he knows I was kind of giving it back.

Speaker 8 And he goes, hey, Daves, I'm not one of your Q of H buddies, you know, like he was at this deal. So he was a great guy, man.

Speaker 1 God bless the soul.

Speaker 8 I miss him a lot.

Speaker 1 All right, so Josh, we always talk to you about,

Speaker 1 your play. It's always so electric, but you usually have once a game the smash every button play where it's like you avoid a sack, you're like falling down, you're throwing the ball.

Speaker 1 So I want from your perspective what's going through your head, and then I want from coach's perspective what's going through your head when that play comes out.

Speaker 3 Well, really, my perspective is just try to make a play.

Speaker 3 Like, again, when I get in those situations where I'm 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage, I'm like, I can't take a sack here. Like, I got to do whatever I can to get out of this.

Speaker 3 So that's really the whole main thing behind it. Like, I'm just trying not to put ourselves in a negative situation.
You know, they say negative times a negative is a positive.

Speaker 3 So, that's that's kind of my mindset.

Speaker 4 Wait, wait, I'm trying to do the math real quick. Negative times a negative is a positive.

Speaker 1 So, you can positively.

Speaker 4 So, if you're if you're having a really shitty play, if you do something even shittier,

Speaker 1 exactly. Okay, that makes sense.
Yeah, that's black.

Speaker 3 It works out most of the time, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 8 I got got full confidence in him.

Speaker 8 So, look, there's going to be some of those plays, and that's what really makes him a good player, too.

Speaker 8 You know, he'll have a bad one, and he knows it. Probably early in his career, I got a little bit more frustrated with him when we were first starting out.

Speaker 8 You know, he's in field-go range. He gets a sack.
I'm screaming at him before the plays even over. He's looking up at me underneath the pile.

Speaker 8 But, you know, part of what makes him a really good football player is he's instinctive, and I would never want to take that away from him.

Speaker 8 So we get, you know, sometimes there's going to be some bad plays in there, and it's how do we respond and rebound? And he knows I got a lot of faith and confidence in him.

Speaker 8 And, you know, he makes the right decision most of the time.

Speaker 4 Yeah. How has Philip been? No.

Speaker 1 You guys are good. I mean, right back to back.
That's good. We've got to come stronger than that, fellas.
What the hell?

Speaker 8 You sound like all the guys on a team because when he walks around outside on the practice field, I mean, no one's even talking to him.

Speaker 4 So I'm not even going to try with Imagine Dragons.

Speaker 1 No, that's right.

Speaker 1 Keep them rolling. Keep them rolling.

Speaker 8 We'll give you some good ones when we get out of here.

Speaker 1 Up your game a little bit.

Speaker 4 I did read that

Speaker 4 you were Brett Favre's quarterback coach for a while. What's that like being Brett Favre's quarterback coach? Are you just like, can you just throw one fewer interception a game and we'll be good?

Speaker 8 So

Speaker 1 what are you hitting me for? What do you want to do?

Speaker 1 No, I don't want to tell that one.

Speaker 8 No,

Speaker 8 he was awesome.

Speaker 8 It was a brand new system for him, right? So he had played in the West Coast with Mike and all those guys. And, you know, Mike T trades for him.

Speaker 8 We get him at the Jets, and I'm sitting there with him going through. He's like, hey, you got to translate some of these for me.
The West Coast. I didn't have no idea about the West Coast.

Speaker 8 So he'd get in meetings. Finally, he picked it up and he was good with it.
He only wanted about, he's like, dad, he called me Dabs. Dabs, we don't need like 50 plays.
Just give me these six.

Speaker 8 I'll make it work.

Speaker 8 So

Speaker 8 finally got it.

Speaker 8 He'd be in our meetings. He'd go, all right.

Speaker 8 And I was a quarterback coach. He's like, let's do the sitcom game.

Speaker 4 All right, Tuti.

Speaker 4 Where's she from?

Speaker 8 Facts of life. So we'd spend like 10 minutes.
He'd start rattling off like sitcom characters.

Speaker 8 And the two young quarterbacks, I think it was Ainge and Brett Ratliff and Kellen Clemens are like, can we get going?

Speaker 1 He'd be like,

Speaker 8 yeah. Hey, put that highlight on back on 1994 when I did this.

Speaker 8 And then, you know, the other thing, he'd be, you know, he can sling it. You get an unbelievable arm.

Speaker 8 So we'd have certain plays that say, hey, look, cover two, you really want to focus on this side. Not a great play on this side.

Speaker 8 He'd be like, hey, dabs, I got 372 completions in cover two on that side. Yeah.
So, but

Speaker 8 he was awesome. One of my favorites.
He's just, he's fun, great personality.

Speaker 4 Well, there's that story of him. I think he was the one that told it where he was sitting down in the film room and his coach was explaining what nickel coverage was

Speaker 4 when he was in the NFL. And he's like, oh, you just mean the extra cornerbacks.

Speaker 1 That's what you call it.

Speaker 4 Is that kind of how he was? He's just like kind of he knew the game, but didn't have all the nomenclature.

Speaker 1 No, no, no, he knew it.

Speaker 8 I mean, some of that is blown out of proportion he knew it he'd call me at night he'd be like hey talk to shoddy you know go back and see if you can get this 1998 plate third quarter i think i was going away from like he just had a really unbelievable memory um

Speaker 8 awesome the first play he had at the jets were running a little flat slant you know now all these quarterbacks do these lookoffs and throw it one way it's first time i've seen him do it he looks over at the flat and jericho cottries running a slant and what's that what's that uh one movie the guy didn't have great hands what's that movie featherstone I think you're trying to set me up.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Featherstone.
I think that's the name.

Speaker 8 Booms, right off Cotry's helmet, goes flying up the air. And Cotry's like, God damn.

Speaker 1 And it was like a rocket ball.

Speaker 8 But he was a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 So who's got a better arm, Josh or Brett Favre?

Speaker 8 Yeah, they both got great arms.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 I know that answer now.

Speaker 8 I'm taking my man here. He's been with me for four years.

Speaker 1 Josh, what do you think right now? Throwing, has it gotten, have you gotten like farther in terms of your ability to throw it? I don't think so.

Speaker 3 I think, again, coming out in college, like, that's what I did.

Speaker 1 I threw it hard. Rock it on.

Speaker 3 Just rock it on, you know? And I've kind of toned it down.

Speaker 3 I've learned how to, you know, use different clubs in the bag, if you will, and just haven't spent a whole lot of time on long toss, which that's kind of what helps you throw the ball a little further.

Speaker 8 He had one today to Beasley. It about took Beasley's off.

Speaker 8 Beasley came over and he's like, Jesus Christ, that was like, it was on him before he could even turn, and he caught it, but it was, it was humming.

Speaker 1 Yes. It was humming.
There's not many throws that he can't can't make yeah i uh oh sounds like there's a throw he can't make

Speaker 1 so there's not many yeah so there's not

Speaker 8 one that's probably i said it the wrong way so what

Speaker 1 he can he make

Speaker 1 every throw every throw every throw every throw i read that your offensive philosophy is uh everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler is that is that fair because that was that's a genius quote i i read it like five times this morning i was like wait wow that should be a that's like a life lesson yeah like let's not make this game too hard for these guys.

Speaker 8 We all played it or played different sports growing up. The more you got to think about,

Speaker 8 the worse you usually are. Now, we have a lot of stuff, but you need some smart guys to do it.
And once you do it, there's, you know, he's great with the receivers and get open, catch the ball.

Speaker 8 You know, Diggs last,

Speaker 8 he's doing today a walkthrough. He's like, just get open and catch the ball.

Speaker 8 We try to make it simple.

Speaker 8 and let these guys play as fast as they can.

Speaker 8 And it helps when you got a quarterback that can help kind of orchestrate it all. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I love hearing stories after games of like old timers when they say, you know what, we ran the same play nine times in a row because they couldn't stop it.

Speaker 4 And we said we're going to run it until they prove that they can do something about it.

Speaker 4 Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you're like, you know what, we're going to go power right until they can tackle. Let's just keep doing it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I think I've been involved in a few games like that. Probably not as much of a play caller as just being part of the staff.

Speaker 8 But I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You know, we do it out here sometimes in a in a team pass drill.

Speaker 8 I'll say, hey, look, just take this play and call it 10 times in a row you know with the different options and just look they're going to play something different you know odds are so you're getting you know different looks at it we're kind of um i don't want to say football geniuses but we're pretty close no i'd say that we think outside the box

Speaker 4 and uh

Speaker 4 along those same lines what i used to do in madden all the time i would just go hail mary all the time like first down second down

Speaker 1 second and three verts four verts baby four verts maybe we'll try to have you ever saturate that might be a good that might be a good uh little package because people only run hail mary at the end of a half or or at the end of a game.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Like, why not just break it out on second and three? Yeah.

Speaker 3 You know, the last play of the game where you just keep lateral?

Speaker 3 That's why we want to do first play of the game.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 4 I've been trying to get that through people's heads for a while.

Speaker 8 I like a couple of our staff meetings here.

Speaker 4 Design downfield laterals. That's the future of football.
Yeah, we'll set up.

Speaker 4 But honestly, the Hail Mary on like second down, they'll never see it coming. Never.

Speaker 8 No, and that's a good thing about a play caller. Keep them guessing, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I like it. Do you have, so you got to go in a second.
Do you have Train Off Jill Seattle in your playbook still? We do.

Speaker 1 Do you have that, Josh? Do you like that play? Is that one of your favorite plays? He's not kidding you.

Speaker 1 No, it's okay. Yeah, yeah, okay.
So it's the play that Tua won the national championship. Gotcha.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Which I read the story that you basically had a list of his favorite plays in the top right corner of your play card, and that was like second and 26. Like, let's just do it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, you know, we called the first down play there that we thought had a chance, and shit. We're sitting there at second and 26th.

Speaker 8 They kicked a field goal, and that was one of his favorites and did a great job with it and looked off to safety and threw it up to Smitty.

Speaker 8 You know, all those championship games that I've been fortunate to be part of, they've all come down to the last play. Yeah.
As crazy as that sounds.

Speaker 8 That is that play, the overtime against Atlanta, the Seattle Super Bowl. You know, we intercept the pass.

Speaker 8 There's the field goal against the Rams, field goal against the Eagles, interception against the Eagles, field goal against Carolina. Could easily go the other way.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 You could tell that

Speaker 1 when Tua got in, Tua was going to be ready to go i was so mad at you guys because i bet georgia did you and i was like that this isn't this shouldn't be legal yeah because like that like i bet against jalen hurts all good you know all due respect nice guy and all that but like that's what my bet was about and then you brought in two i was like this isn't fair yeah so what quarterback are you talking about tudi's nuts

Speaker 1 she's all over

Speaker 4 All right,

Speaker 4 this has been a stalemate.

Speaker 1 This is like two bull elephants on the open savannah staring at each other. This is good.

Speaker 1 We love competition.

Speaker 8 You know, so we go back and forth at it.

Speaker 1 Well, Coach, you got to go.

Speaker 1 We now have to basically hold Josh hostage for the $15 million that he owes us.

Speaker 3 See the security guy back there? I'm a little scared. Yeah.
He's probably

Speaker 1 back there, yeah. But, Coach, thank you.
Best of luck this year.

Speaker 8 Yeah, thank you guys. We appreciate it.
Appreciate you guys coming in, and I hope you enjoyed Buffalo. It's a great town.
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 Love this place. Careful about Ligma.

Speaker 1 This guy. This guy.
What? It's a tick, tick, the Ligma tick.

Speaker 4 You like Chef Buerty?

Speaker 1 Oh, ho.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was athletic. He could recover.
All right, thanks, coach. All right, so you owe us 10

Speaker 1 million dollars.

Speaker 3 Did I specify which contract we were talking about?

Speaker 1 The next one, yeah. You said the next one.

Speaker 3 Did I say the next football contract?

Speaker 1 Well, I think I noticed that when you signed the contract,

Speaker 1 I wasn't like aggressive about it. I said a very nice, like, hey, congrats, you deserve it, text.
Never got a reply. So I figured, huh, that's weird.

Speaker 1 He must think that we forgot about this $15 million he owes us. So you said 10%

Speaker 1 of your next contract, and we're being nice right now, actually, because we're doing just guaranteed money. Yeah.
So 15 million, cash or check, what do you want to do?

Speaker 3 Maybe just like a trip to downtown Buffalo to get you shopping or something.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. So

Speaker 4 I did not consult with Big Cat when I I tweeted that out. First, I want to say the first thing I did not do was ask you for money.

Speaker 4 The first thing I did was just be like, wow, Josh is rich as fuck now. Congratulations.
So I wanted to get that out of the way. But then the second thing I did was, we're not greedy.

Speaker 4 So I figured like $50,000 in a downtown Buffalo shopping spree for the boys would be a nice little settlement.

Speaker 4 Yeah, there's a bunch of boys. There's a bunch of boys here.

Speaker 1 But it's really, I mean.

Speaker 4 But we've got...

Speaker 1 You know, take care of me, PFT, and Hank. Yeah, like what we're saying.

Speaker 4 Maybe $10.

Speaker 4 And store credit, and then maybe a little extra on the top to wet the beak would be okay. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I mean, we could work something out.

Speaker 1 We actually want to work out a real deal because we went to this wing place called Wingnuts that is incredible.

Speaker 1 We told the owner, he like almost cried when we said we're going to tell Josh Allen about this place. They have a kitchen out of the Knights of Columbus, so they don't even have a restaurant.

Speaker 1 I don't know. It would be cool if we could get them a restaurant space.
Maybe go in.

Speaker 3 And you'd be okay with that? That's your computer.

Speaker 1 Yes, all three of us may be investors and wing nuts i don't know so it's it's ed and his wife

Speaker 4 yeah and you can vouch for the like you guys are these wings are great they're the best wings i've ever had in my life incredible and we eat a shitload of chicken wings yeah and this guy ed his story is he's the most buffalo person in the world yes he went to the very first buffalo bills game he was uh he was watching the super bowl on his birthday when scott norwood missed the kick wide right and he's been in this town i think his entire life yeah him and his wife went out for dinner one time Wait, we don't want to, we might have him on the podcast.

Speaker 4 We might have him on the podcast. So should I not tell the story?

Speaker 1 Yeah, don't tell that part. Okay.
You got to have him tell that part. But he's as buffalo as it gets.
Okay. Yeah.
What PFD is saying is exactly right. He's as buffalo as buffalo gets.

Speaker 3 I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to go to Wing Nuts.
I'm going to eat it. And then we'll talk.

Speaker 1 Yeah, try it first. Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 4 But actually, that's better because you'll probably want to give them more money.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, you actually, you'll be like,

Speaker 1 you actually, that probably will fuck us because you'll kick us out of the investment group. No, we're not.
Because you'll want it all on your own. 33,

Speaker 1 25, 25. Yeah, and then you're the money.
You're the cash guy.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you're the executive producer.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 And we're boots on the ground.

Speaker 4 So let's do it.

Speaker 1 What did you buy, though, for real?

Speaker 3 Nothing yet.

Speaker 1 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 4 You didn't get like a new truck?

Speaker 1 I thought you bought... Didn't you buy some trees?

Speaker 3 Well, that was prior, but yeah, we put in 155 acres of pistachios, so that was fun.

Speaker 1 What are you going to call it?

Speaker 3 It's Allen Family Orchards.

Speaker 1 Okay, what are you going to call the

Speaker 1 things that come out of the trees?

Speaker 3 Josh's nuts.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's nice.

Speaker 1 Is that what you want?

Speaker 1 That's exactly what I want.

Speaker 4 How many trees is 150 acres?

Speaker 3 It's about 21,000 trees.

Speaker 1 Wow. Yeah.
Damn.

Speaker 3 Give or take.

Speaker 1 Did you help plant them?

Speaker 3 Personally, we didn't, but there's a crew that comes out and they plant it in a couple days. It's pretty spectacular to watch.

Speaker 4 So when you decide that you're going to buy that many trees, do you do it because it's an investment for the future or do you do it because you just love trees?

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's an investment for the future but again my dad's had this farm for shoot as long as I've been alive, he's been alive, it's kind of a generational deal and we've been doing row crops and the problem with row crops is you can't really tell what the weather's going to be like and there's a lot of things that you can't control but putting in trees it's a solid investment.

Speaker 3 It takes about four and a half, five years to produce an actual plant though. And so that's what's the it's a it's a long-term play.
But once it starts rolling, it's pretty good.

Speaker 4 There's money in trees. I like it.
Although arborists are a crock of shit. They are.
They don't know what they're doing. But I think that's actually a pretty cool thing to spend money on.

Speaker 4 You don't think about buying plants and then having them pay dividends in the future with certain types.

Speaker 1 I saw a quote you had about the media. I just want to make sure you're not talking about us.

Speaker 1 But you said, no offense to the media, but the bar I set for myself is higher than anything anyone else can set for me.

Speaker 1 You're not talking about us, right? No, of course not. Okay, all right, good.
You guys are

Speaker 3 like, I'd call you journalists.

Speaker 1 Yes, not yesterday.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 are you in, like, I mean, it's kind of a bad question. I guess I'll ask it.
But, like, have you had the thought of like,

Speaker 1 everyone was so impressed with what I did last year, and they expect me to keep going, keep progressing, keep getting better? That's a lot of pressure.

Speaker 3 I mean, I expect that, too, though.

Speaker 3 It's something I set for myself as well.

Speaker 1 The thing that would really fuck me up if I were in your shoes, not to make you nervous or whatever, you're not going to be nervous, but if you won a Super Bowl for the city of buffalo i actually think that like i don't know like they would you would be the king of buffalo forever god like the people we were out yesterday meeting and greeting the people of buffalo we love buffalo but their excitement for the bills and their excitement for josh allen is so out of this world it's like insane so not to make you nervous again Literally their entire happiness, life, everything is resting on your shoulders.

Speaker 3 I mean, I've known that since we got here, you know, and it's no different now, but it is, again, when I first got here, stories about the early 90s, the early 90s, be the next Jim Kelly.

Speaker 3 Like, you're going to be, like, it's just like, I get it.

Speaker 1 I get it.

Speaker 3 And the excitement that the fans have here, and it's unbelievable. Everywhere you go, like, it is live, breathe, die, Buffalo football.
And people's lives actually are affected by how we perform.

Speaker 3 Yeah. And I swear there was a statistic a few years ago.

Speaker 3 Work attendance after we won, like, on average, was like decreased by 50% the next day.

Speaker 3 People just, they love, they love the bills.

Speaker 1 Are you ruining the local economy?

Speaker 4 Is Josh Allen actually bad for Buffalo?

Speaker 1 It's a byproduct of playing. I love it.

Speaker 4 That's great. I would actually think it would be worse if you lost because people, like, I don't know, maybe it's kind of the same for me.

Speaker 4 Like, I don't know whether or not to get drunk in joy or get drunk in misery. Yeah.
But you probably want to go to work to take your mind off.

Speaker 1 That's the balance, you know. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm excited, though. I'm excited for the people of Buffalo and excited for you.
So, you, what are, like, how are you feeling this camp has gone? That's a real real traditional media question.

Speaker 3 Yeah, no, it's it's been a really good camp. Um, the addition of Emmanuel Sanders, you know, he's he's been fantastic for us.

Speaker 1 It's good that you said that because I didn't know he was on the team. Yeah,

Speaker 3 he's doing really well. But the plays that we've been putting in, guys are working their tails off right now.

Speaker 3 And I'll tell you what, we drafted a few rookies on on the D line and the offensive line that are going to be really damn good.

Speaker 3 And I'm excited to see them progress and how they're going to play here in the next couple preseason games.

Speaker 3 And I'll tell you what, Brandon Bean's going to have some tough decisions to make because we have a really good roster yeah have you uh have you gone horseback riding with that oliver yet i have not but i have been driving down the road to go eat and he's just galloping along and he's just literally in the middle of the street just on his horse

Speaker 4 that's amazing i love it is that how he usually gets around has he ever ridden a horse to practice he has not yet but i don't know if we should tell him that because he will do it he should absolutely do that he definitely will you piquette was just talking about like the media and um and how you know they kind of changed their tune on you last year a little bit.

Speaker 4 I like to think that we bullied them into starting to change our tune because I think week two, we were like

Speaker 4 earmuffs, Josh. Suck my dick if you didn't believe in Josh Allen.

Speaker 1 Suck the whole goddamn dick. It's not big, but you can fit all it all.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 4 we were kind of bullying people into starting to apologize because you probably have the most cold takes surrounding your career of any quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 4 Everyone was sure that you were not going to work out when you were rookie as a first-round pick. Has anybody reached out to you personally to apologize? Good question.

Speaker 3 Not that I know of.

Speaker 3 Not like, hey, I thought I was wrong.

Speaker 1 None of that. No one in the media? They're still waiting.
They're still hoping. No,

Speaker 4 here's why this is a crock of shit. Because when they realized they were wrong, they just apologized to everybody that followed them on Twitter and made the apology.

Speaker 4 Like, look how great I am at apologizing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right. And when I'm in the world, I'm all in this.

Speaker 4 But you are the aggrieved party. They should be personally reaching out to you.

Speaker 3 But based on what he did in college and the numbers, this is what it was supposed to be.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and retro, you know what? I was right, but then retrospectively, I was wrong. So I was wrong.
I was right about being wrong.

Speaker 1 Correct. Yes.
Correct. Yes.

Speaker 1 All right. So I have one last question.
It's a mattress firm. Oh, wait.
Actually, before I ask that question, do you have a have you said like officially what your favorite wings place is? Barbill.

Speaker 3 Okay. Barbill Tavern.

Speaker 1 Should soon to be Wing Nots. Okay.
All right, the Mattress Firm question, unjunk your sleep. Meet a sleep expert today.
Start at mattressfirm.com.

Speaker 1 Billy and Hank were sleeping on the mattress firm mattress all week. They had great sleep.
All right. So my last question is,

Speaker 1 looking over your shoulder a little bit at all?

Speaker 1 I don't know. He's coming out here in a minute, but

Speaker 1 pretty big backup quarterback signing with Mitch Trubisky.

Speaker 1 And just saying, are you... I freaking love it.
Higher draft pick than you.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Fact. You're fat as a fact.

Speaker 1 So he's technically better.

Speaker 1 Just based on that. Does he have more winds?

Speaker 1 Probably. I think he's got more money than you, yeah.

Speaker 3 I've got more wings eating, though.

Speaker 1 Yes, that's right. So Mitch, though, Mitch is a great guy.
We're going to have him on in a second. But

Speaker 1 how's he fit in with the whole thing?

Speaker 3 He's been unbelievable. Just his personality,

Speaker 3 his ideas, his knowledge of the game. Like you said, he started 50-plus games.
What he's brought to the table for us has been fantastic. We actually were at dinner last night.

Speaker 3 He's got a birthday here on Saturday

Speaker 3 on game day playing against Chicago. So I'm super excited to see him obviously play against them.
And

Speaker 3 there's a couple guys that, you know, Chicago, like, these preseason games mean a lot to people,

Speaker 3 whether people believe that or not. But,

Speaker 3 no, he's been fantastic, and I'm super glad that we have him. I really am.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 4 I got one last, last question.

Speaker 4 I kind of need a player to speak out on this very important topic about, you know, people getting bullied for saying we when they're talking about their team.

Speaker 4 Like, if a Bills fan's watching the Bills play on Sunday, let's say you guys win 30 to 17. On Monday, fans should be allowed to say, like, we kicked their ass yesterday, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Right? That's totally fine to say. Do you take offense?

Speaker 1 No, we're all one family. Yeah, okay.
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 If a fan claims a victory as their own, that's fair.

Speaker 1 Buffalo also is like absolutely we. They're 100% we.
Absolutely we.

Speaker 4 There's some not we towns.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I would say like Miami, probably not a wee town. Yeah, right.
Maybe Anaheim.

Speaker 4 Miami.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Anaheim, not a a We Town.

Speaker 1 Not a We Town.

Speaker 4 Arlington, Texas.

Speaker 1 Yeah, not a We Town. We're going to piss some people off.
That's okay. I think they would.
But Buffalo is like at the top of the list

Speaker 1 in We Town. Yes.

Speaker 4 They're Mount Rushmore for sure.

Speaker 5 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
All right, Josh. Thank you.
We always love having you on.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 you just didn't bring any cash?

Speaker 3 It's, see, I have IOUs.

Speaker 1 I thought maybe you would be like, hey, here's like 500 bucks. Just, you know, let's get the payment plan started.
Who's the not even that?

Speaker 3 Who's the Mets player that gets paid by Vanilla?

Speaker 4 If you want to do like $100,000 for the next, what, 70 years?

Speaker 1 You can either. That would actually be smart because we're not going to live that long.
Yeah, yeah. So you could just be like, hey, I'll give you $10,000 for the next 500 years.
Little arbitrage.

Speaker 4 The more money you give us up front, the more likely we are to die sooner. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 So front load it and then, yeah, just taper it off.

Speaker 4 We'll take, tell you what, we'll take it.

Speaker 3 Side note, though, I am loving the Rob Lowe hat.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so you like the, well, it's actually, it's a Washington football team hat. I turned it backwards out of respect.

Speaker 4 People gave you a lot of shit about the bucket hat. I think it's a good look.
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 3 I don't know. I just wore it.

Speaker 1 It's also the bucket hat is like, it is a training camp look. For sure.
You don't bring it to the regular season. No.
But bucket hats belong in training.

Speaker 1 And wear out walkthroughs out here and you got to cover everything. Yeah.

Speaker 4 It gets hot. I'm sorry.
I have a third last question.

Speaker 4 You're not going to wear that visor in the regular season, right? What the fuck? Please talk me down from that one.

Speaker 1 Don't do that. You don't want me to wear it?

Speaker 4 No, the visor has never won in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've never wearing a visor. Okay, all right.
I told you this. Remember when you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 All right, yeah, yeah, when you didn't record me while you called me, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 You didn't tell me you were recording.

Speaker 1 We actually saw the other time we called you and recorded the kid. Shout out the kid.

Speaker 1 We saw him at the bar last night when we had that kid in the studio and we called you and you gave him a shout-out.

Speaker 1 So you're a man of the people. Hashtag the kid.
Yeah, hashtag the kid.

Speaker 1 No, he actually said he's going to be really upset about that because I guess he's like a 40-year-old dude and he's like, everyone keeps calling me the kid now.

Speaker 1 And I was like, well, why did you tell me that? Because now I'm definitely going to bring it up and we're going to do the kid again. So, hashtag.

Speaker 3 Well, I got a question for you.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 NCAA should be coming out, right?

Speaker 1 That being the ones.

Speaker 3 Yes. Is Doug's making a comeback?

Speaker 1 Yes, absolutely. Dougs has not had his last season.
Okay. I don't know when, but Doug has not had his last season.
Okay. So, all right, well, Josh, you'll be able to do it.

Speaker 3 Okay, well, then I got another second-to-last question.

Speaker 3 Will you coach my pokes?

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 I'll consider it. You consider it? I'll consider it.
I think that maybe

Speaker 1 if I could win a famous Idaho ball, it would be a dream come true.

Speaker 3 Get their prestige up a little bit and help us out.

Speaker 4 I think his salary right now is, what, $10 million a year?

Speaker 1 Yeah. For Doug's.

Speaker 4 So if you know anyone that's got that kind of cash.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you could wet the beak.

Speaker 1 I could be bought for Idaho.

Speaker 3 Wyoming, it's the only four-year institute.

Speaker 1 Wait, where did you go to college? Wyoming. Yeah, Wyoming.
Why'd I say Idaho? Oh, because that's where the bull is. Idaho Bull, yeah.

Speaker 4 It's like the same state.

Speaker 1 I was like, what the hell? Why did I say Idaho? All right. Yeah.
Well, those piss yellow uniforms? Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 Let's take it easy, all right? I mean, they are. I love that shit.

Speaker 1 I love the potato. I love it too.

Speaker 3 That potato bowl when it was maroon and yellow versus brown and gold on the blue turf.

Speaker 1 It was beautiful. It was a funky combination.
I love it. It's like a big pot of potatoes.
I love it. Oh, man.
All right. Well, Josh, thank you, man.
Appreciate it.

Speaker 4 Thanks, Josh.

Speaker 1 I'm not going back to college to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber one for students.
It saves you on Uber and Uber Eats.

Speaker 1 I'm there for $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 10% off smoothies, and 6% Uber credits back on rides. Just to be clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you think college is for.

Speaker 9 Get Uber One for students. A membership to save on Uber and Uber Eats.
With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student. Join for just $4.99 a month.
Savings may vary.

Speaker 9 Eligibility and member terms apply.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 thanks to Josh Allen and Brian Dable. We're going to finish up the show with our Mount Rushmore and our Firefest finishing up Grit Week.
A great grit week. Great to be back on the road.

Speaker 1 Great to see the people.

Speaker 1 Again, we have some big stuff coming, right? Like recap video, obviously the song with Benny the Butcher. Liam

Speaker 1 saw color for the first time. Liam saw color for the first time.
Maybe the best video we've ever made.

Speaker 1 We've got Mitch Trubisky Monday. I'm going to win on that.
I mean, let's just say we're not going to quit our podcasting job for acting. Okay? It's pretty simple.

Speaker 1 We don't deliver lines well. I thought it was great.
You know what?

Speaker 4 It wasn't about the lines. It was just about helping our friend Liam be able to see a beautiful actor.

Speaker 1 Well, Liam was the worst actor in it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So we were all terrible.

Speaker 4 I thought that was real.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was real. I thought it was the first time you ever saw Killer.
I was crying. All right, so we have that.
We have Mitch Trubisky Monday. We have Ryan Fitzpatrick Wednesday.

Speaker 1 So Grit Week is over, but not really over because we still got some more stuff.

Speaker 1 All right, let's get to our Mount Rushmore, then we'll do our Fire Fest.

Speaker 10 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado, built for the hustle, ready for the game. Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 10 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 10 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 1 Okay, we're going to do the Mount Rushmore of things you do at a hotel, hotel moves, because we've been in hotels. Although, Hank, you made good on your disc golf bet.
You slept in the RV last night.

Speaker 1 How was it? It was great. Shout out out to Mattress Firm.
My sleep was great.

Speaker 1 I slept on a bus for four months straight. So one night at an RV park, it's basically like a hotel, if not better.
Yeah, you're good. And people, there were some people like, oh, this isn't gritty.

Speaker 1 You guys sleep in hotels. First of all, I think we slept in hotels from the beginning.
And second of all,

Speaker 1 I'm a little bit older. I was making the joke the other day that when we're 50, Grit Week is just going to be eating two spicy meals back to back.

Speaker 1 Also, it really shows the level of your AWL-ness if you say it's not Vanny Woodhead when the real first grit week was on an RV that was the exact same as the one,

Speaker 1 correct. So you're telling on yourself, people.

Speaker 4 I think we slept in that one one night. One night.
And the rest that was in hotel rooms.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So we're gritty. We're out here.

Speaker 4 I mean, we're doing a podcast of the Knights of Columbus right now. Absolutely.

Speaker 1 With our guy, Ed, who's our future partner in all business.

Speaker 1 Like, we should just make him executive producer of everything we do. Ed.
We need an Ed.

Speaker 4 Every dude needs an Ed around.

Speaker 1 Take some trailers to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 All right. So Mount Rushmore Hotel Moves.
Do I decide the order? Yeah. All right.
I'll go. Handily.

Speaker 1 Besides Liam's win on pizza toppings, this was the biggest slop side ever. Yeah.
I was justified by that.

Speaker 1 It was a huge cell phone.

Speaker 1 Context clues matter.

Speaker 1 Context clues. The conversation cell phone never made sense.
Yeah. Cell phone.
It didn't make sense. Yeah.
Cell phone made sense, not cell phone. Cell phone didn't make any sense.
Cell phone.

Speaker 4 So wait, is this, Hank, is this yours or is Bubba doing it with with you?

Speaker 1 Team Hubba, we're just, we're bonding hive by life. All right, I'll send me any, but you're happy.
It doesn't matter. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Are you happy?

Speaker 1 I'll start and we'll go this way, Hank, and then back around. Okay.
All right. Easy 1-1, cranking the AC as low as it can possibly go.
Yeah. That is the number one rule of every hotel room.

Speaker 1 You get in there. It's not your AC.
Pray it goes below 60.

Speaker 1 Dude, the one we were in last night was at 60.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I checked in and it was at 60. I absolutely loved it.

Speaker 4 Incredible. This is like if the person that won the Super Bowl also got the first round draft.

Speaker 1 This is like Andrew Luck. This is the Andrew Luck draft.

Speaker 4 You're just taking an Andrew Luck. You're just going to, that's an obvious 1-1.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. Because I actually like drafting on the wraparound 4-5, but

Speaker 1 I had to do one here. All right.

Speaker 5 All right. We're going to go with shout out, like, Mike, ordering room service.

Speaker 1 It's a great feeling. Okay,

Speaker 1 picking it up. Yep, on my list.

Speaker 1 Good pick. Okay, I'm going to go

Speaker 4 with running the hot shower for as long as you want. Even turning it on before you get into the shower, like letting it go cook for like 15-20 minutes, get the bathroom real steamy and foggy.

Speaker 4 Again, you're not paying the hot water bill. It's a luxury.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.
I thought you were taking this when you said cranking, but jerk off. Yeah,

Speaker 4 I had jack in it.

Speaker 1 Specifically in a robe. Yeah.

Speaker 4 That was my number two.

Speaker 1 Using the lotion because there's always lotion.

Speaker 4 There wasn't in Pittsburgh. Ah.

Speaker 1 I noticed.

Speaker 4 Okay. Conditioner.

Speaker 1 Sorry, you got backed up. Yeah.
Speaking of lotion, this is my patented thing. I might trademark this move, but the shampoo soup.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You get in the shower, you just take all of the free complimentary bottles and you just pour them into your hand and just rub it all over your body.

Speaker 1 Call it the shampoo soup. I love it.
Listen, that's not really shampoo. It's not body wash.
It's all basically the same thing.

Speaker 1 You just combine them. It makes no sense, but I love it.

Speaker 4 You make a little Long Island iced tea of cleaning products.

Speaker 1 This is the man who brought you Barbara Cuffalo. Barbara Gell.
And what was the Nyquil thing? ListerQuill. ListerQuill.
So Hank just basically, all his ideas are just combining everything.

Speaker 4 Hank just sees every liquid in his house, and he's like, there's got to be a better way.

Speaker 1 We've got to put this all together.

Speaker 1 Never. All the cream separate, but then shampoo, you can only got three bottles.
Let's just fucking... Let's get nuts.
I can say it was not on my list. It wasn't on my list.
Yeah. All right.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 4 I can't believe.

Speaker 1 That he took shampoo soup?

Speaker 4 No,

Speaker 4 jacking it. I thought Hank would be too bashful to go cranking it.

Speaker 1 No, dude, Hank Fox.

Speaker 1 And it's also a hotel. It's like, how much of a list list is there?

Speaker 1 There's only so many things you do in a hotel.

Speaker 4 Okay, I'm going to go with

Speaker 4 for my next one, using one of the two beds in your room as the bag and clothes bed.

Speaker 4 As a shelf, you just put all your stuff out on there, dirty clothes, that goes on the bed too. It's actually, most bedrooms that are being designed right now in America.

Speaker 4 America should have a second bed. Yes.
Because it's so much easier to just use a bed as that than it is to use a closet or a dresser.

Speaker 1 Yes, absolutely. One thing I always think about in hotels, actually, I guess we'll get there.
Maybe someone will use this. Okay.
Actually, they're not going to. Okay.
Why,

Speaker 1 at what point, what hotel convention in the world did they decide we're going to get clocks with iPhone 4

Speaker 1 targets on it? Yes. Every time it's like they went all in on the iPhone 4 and it's just useless.
Yes. It's like, oh, look at this cool little dock port.
You can plug your phone in and play music.

Speaker 1 The worst is when you go to a hotel and like you don't even realize that there's an alarm set and it will go off. That happens like once every, you know, 10 times, but it's brutal.
Like a 6 a.m.

Speaker 1 alarm, you just have to fucking smash that clock against the wall.

Speaker 4 Somebody got paid off that iPhone 4

Speaker 4 when the hotels all decide at once to be like, you know what? It's the year 2014. Now it's time.
Let's make the move to the iPhone 4 market. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes, big time. Okay.

Speaker 5 So we're going to go with something that really makes you establish your presence. It's your room.
Putting the do not disturb sign out on the front.

Speaker 1 Good one.

Speaker 5 Not letting anyone come in.

Speaker 1 Good one. Respectfully.
Good one.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 You ever walk down the hallway and just take people's do not disturbs off?

Speaker 1 No, that'd be mean. That would be mean, but but awesome.
All right.

Speaker 1 I've done it drunk. Okay, my next pick is going to be very specific, but it's

Speaker 1 checking out the gym. Not actually working out, but checking it out and being like, oh, okay.
All right. You know, you know how you always pack the shoes.
Yeah, you pack the shoes that you don't.

Speaker 1 You're like, oh, well, what if I work out and you never use them?

Speaker 4 I pack the shoes this time.

Speaker 1 But every time you go, you're like, hey, let me just... All right, before we go back down to the lobby, let me just check out the gym real quick.
Yeah. They got a pool, maybe?

Speaker 4 I walked down to the gym the other day and then turned around and walked back up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I always just like to look at the gym, be like, oh, okay, well, maybe they got like, you know, something cool that I don't want to do.

Speaker 4 I'm going to make a mental note of where the fitness center is.

Speaker 1 Right. Never going back, but I checked it out.

Speaker 1 And then mini bar, hitting up the mini bar.

Speaker 1 It feels like you're, obviously it's very expensive, but it always feels like you're kind of stealing because you're like, ooh, these peanut M ⁇ Ms are $18, but they're great in the moment.

Speaker 4 Well, if you don't have to pay for it at the time, it feels free. Right.

Speaker 4 That's a future me problem. I'll make that money up.

Speaker 1 And it's also like there's something, it's almost like a dare where you're like, I'll look at the prices and be like, oh, these gummy bears are $28.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm going to fucking eat them. Like, fuck you.

Speaker 4 Oh, I've always said if you put like a super expensive drink on the menu, I have to order it. Yes.
There was one time I got a margarita. It was $100.

Speaker 4 All the other margaritas were like $13 on the menu. There was one that was $100.
I was like, well, I can't be a broke boy and not get the $100 margarita.

Speaker 4 I asked the owner, I was like, how much does this really cost to make? He's like, probably about like $35, but I sell more of them if they're they're 100 than I would if they were $37. I love it.

Speaker 1 I love it. I love it.
All right, Jake and Billy.

Speaker 6 This is one for like when you're at an AAU tournament or something.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 6 playing ding-dong ditch.

Speaker 1 Just ding-dong ditch and going down. That's good.

Speaker 4 Bad boy life.

Speaker 1 That is good. Knocking on random doors.

Speaker 4 Getting yelled at by security. Yeah, that's good.
Hey, you kids.

Speaker 4 Well, this is kind of awkward because my next one,

Speaker 4 the business owner, Alicia, just sat down, so I don't want to say it in front of her, but I'll just spell it just F-U-C-K-I-N-G.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 It's always better.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 You're like in a different environment. Things are like, you know, it's not the same

Speaker 4 place that you normally get in. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That sort of thing. It's always more fun on the road.
Damn. A little road trip actually.
Didn't know my boy got down like that.

Speaker 1 Pryo knucks. Yeah.
Knucks me, bro. Oh, fuck this.

Speaker 4 Just F-U-C-K-I-G.

Speaker 1 He's fucking.

Speaker 1 I'm out of of picks.

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 1 I'll just go with.

Speaker 1 This is what I did this week. So I'll just go with what I did this week.

Speaker 1 You're getting an RV. I turned on the TV and I watched the guide channel.

Speaker 1 It's a good pick, actually. I just sit there and watch the TV.
You're just like, all right, well, because obviously there's no guide. You have to watch the guide channel.

Speaker 1 You can see what's going on. And then you're like, wait, maybe I missed something.
I don't hate that. I think I let it go through like four times.
I'm like, I'm actually tired.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to go to sleep. I don't hate that pick.

Speaker 4 I was so high when I got back to the hotel last night that I put it on the guide channel.

Speaker 4 And I tried to go up and down but i kept changing it to like a different input yeah so it was going to like the hdmi one and then i'd have to like put it back to the actual tv channel yeah i couldn't figure out why my tv didn't have any i honestly sat on my bed for about 15 minutes just hitting the up and down button until i figured it out all right and your last one

Speaker 1 come on you got one unpacking my clothes in the dresser no i'm just getting numbered on that in my fucking life that actually is probably boss i love it's the best movie you go on a vacation hank maybe on a vacation vacation, but not in a hotel.

Speaker 1 It does. On a one-night trip.
On a vacation. If you're there on a vacation for three, four days, but like one, two days, not happy.

Speaker 4 I do it every, like, if I'm down at the Super Bowl or something like that, I'm there for five days. I'm now a big time unpack my stuff, put them in the drawers, guy.

Speaker 1 All right, it just makes you feel

Speaker 1 good. Put it on the list.
I had it on the bottom. I've never done it, but it actually makes you feel like a boss.

Speaker 4 It does, like an adult. Now, I'm not willing to go far enough to say making your bed would be a good move.
That's a Field Yates move.

Speaker 4 He makes his bed in hotels.

Speaker 4 First thing I do is put my suit

Speaker 4 on.

Speaker 1 Even when you're on vacation, you bring your suit. Yeah.
Just in case. All right, PFT, your last pick.

Speaker 4 All right, my last one is going to be the hot tub.

Speaker 4 The hot tub in the pool.

Speaker 4 Just getting a, if not using it, like Big Cat said with a fitness room, like walking by and being like, got a hot tub here, and let everybody in your group know that there's a hot tub in the hotel.

Speaker 4 But if you're on like a vacation and you're staying there for a couple nights, if it's not really like a work trip where you're working late at night, the hot tub is a great thing to come back to at the end of the day.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 6 Losing your key, just your key card, just losing it.

Speaker 1 Everyone does it going

Speaker 6 to the receptionist, being like, I lost my key. Yeah.
And then them being like, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it happens every time. Every time.

Speaker 1 All right, my last one is: I like to first, one of the first things I do when I get in a hotel room is I rip the sheets because

Speaker 1 they always make the bed so fucking tight that if you try to to get into it, you like, you basically get trapped. It's a straitjacket.

Speaker 1 So I like to rip up the bottom of the sheets and kind of loosen up the bed.

Speaker 4 Like, sometimes your feet can't even get the full extension when you get into the hotel.

Speaker 1 It's crazy how they do that. Yeah, it is.

Speaker 4 But I actually like it.

Speaker 1 I like the fact that

Speaker 4 I'm snug. No, I like that it's there.
Yeah, yeah. But then I just get in and I immediately dismantle it.
It's like a dog with a toy.

Speaker 4 It's like, I love this toy, but I'm going to rip all the stuffing out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so when I, if you get in and you try to kick it

Speaker 1 off, you'll always kind of end up in like a tangled web. Yeah.
So I like to rip it first

Speaker 1 all right things that are missed I I don't know if this counts as a hotel move but when you like go on vacation calling your hotel room home after like three hours like are we gonna go back home yeah and it's like you're talking about your hotel room I like that I had leaving towels on the floor after you're done with them big time this one would have been controversial I don't like doing it but I always do do it when I go to a hotel room ironing

Speaker 1 because it's right there. Like I don't iron at home, but I iron at a hotel room.

Speaker 4 I had missing the Continental breakfast.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 4 It happened to me today. I came down there at 9:45.

Speaker 1 Five minutes. I missed it by 5.

Speaker 4 I missed it by 15. And it still smelled like breakfast down there, which was the worst part.

Speaker 5 Charging something to the room is always a good feeling. Yeah.
Down at the restaurant, requesting late checkout.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 1 Do you check out a hotel room, Jake?

Speaker 5 Never in my life. I didn't realize people actually did that.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know when you're leaving. I mean, now we're dating ourselves, but like staying at hotels back in the day where it was an actual key.

Speaker 1 Like that actually would happen.

Speaker 4 So, if you stay in a hotel that has a key right now, it's always one of two things.

Speaker 1 Who's checking out a hotel?

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's either like if you have a key to unlock your door, it's either a very quaint place, yes, or it's just a crack house, yeah, and there's no in-between whatsoever.

Speaker 1 Um, dramatic opening of your curtains and staring out at your view, even if it's a terrible view.

Speaker 1 I also like to do um a little life hack. If your curtains don't fully close and get it, it gets dark in there.
Take the clothes hanger and fasten it shut. Oh, okay.
I do. Yeah.

Speaker 4 That's bold. That's like MacGyver's shift.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because you need to get like, there's nothing worse than. I accept my fate when I see it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, when you go to a hotel room and there's that little crack of sunlight and you're like, oh, this is going to fuck me.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 I have

Speaker 4 the small boxes of cereal that you get at hotels. Really, the only place that you ever eat them.
Yep.

Speaker 6 Stealing the shampoo and conditioner from the maids cart, all the little things.

Speaker 1 For soup? For more soup? More soup. How much soup can you have?

Speaker 6 Like, sometimes they're like.

Speaker 1 I love shampoo soup. It's like my favorite pic of the summer.
Shampoo soup. How much stuff? You see Hank just standing in the shower, just squirting into his hand.

Speaker 4 How much stuff do you think that you can combine into one thing? Like realistically?

Speaker 4 What items?

Speaker 1 So you have shampoo, conditioner, body wash,

Speaker 1 bubble bath.

Speaker 4 No, I'm saying like forget about what they have in a hotel.

Speaker 1 No, that's it. Only in a hotel.
Yeah. You don't have to.
Not if you drink, yeah. I love it.
No, yeah. I love it.
Treat yourself. Well, at home, you have like a two-for-one or whatever.

Speaker 8 One thing I never understood.

Speaker 1 It's a literal, like, instead of two-for-one, that's why people are going to mock it. It's like you probably use two for one fucking shampoo conditioner.
Yeah. This is me just doing it all at once.

Speaker 4 You're saving time and the environment. Right.
I wish hotels had liquid soap to wash your hands.

Speaker 1 Like who uses a bar at home? And it's a waste. You wash your hands.
Because you hand it for like two times and then they throw out the bar. Good thing.

Speaker 1 The other thing that pisses me off is no toothpaste. Why? Yeah.
Hotels have all these complimentary. Or socks.

Speaker 1 No new socks.

Speaker 1 But two. We're talking about things that we forgot to pack.
Toothpaste should be part of and socks. No.
And underwear. No.
You know what the worst is?

Speaker 4 When you stay at a hotel that has the video game console hooked up to it and it's like, pay me $30 to unlock your video games.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, because it just taunts you. Also, one of the worst things that happened to me yesterday happens probably every other time I go to a hotel is clogging the toilet and then having to call down.

Speaker 1 And yesterday I just walked out and I was just like, hey, someone clogged the toilet in 313. And the guy was like, okay.

Speaker 1 Like, this sucks. Like, you just, you basically just have to tell them, like, hey, I take big dumps.

Speaker 4 Hey, someone used all the lotion in my room this morning. It's just last night.

Speaker 1 Never gets not embarrassing. Brutal.
Brutal.

Speaker 1 All right. That was a good Mount Rushmore.
Shampoo soup lives on forever. I'm going to do it.
I can't wait to go to a hotel now. And you just shampoo soup the fuck out of me.
Yep.

Speaker 1 All right. Firefest of the week.
Should we start? Let's get it. All right.
Grit week, firefest.

Speaker 1 I don't think you can have a fire fest on a week as beautiful as grit week, but if I were to have one, it would be that I didn't pack a charger, and I've been chasing a charge this whole week.

Speaker 1 PFT was nice enough to give me a charger.

Speaker 1 I gave you one. I lost PFTs.
Oh,

Speaker 1 I will get you another one. It was one of the nicer ones, too.

Speaker 4 It was really nice. It was a luxurious six-foot core.
Oh, you can't lose it.

Speaker 1 Those growing trees.

Speaker 1 I passed Apple Store on my commute to work, so I will be able to get you another one.

Speaker 1 It's got to be, I think you got to go 12 feet. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's one of those ones always. If I lost like a shitty small charger, I'd be like, yeah, whatever.
I got you.

Speaker 4 Did you lose Big Big Cats too?

Speaker 1 No. No, because I stayed on his ass.
Uh-huh. Because he was like walking around all free and like it was, it had been a couple hours.
Like, you still got my charger. Show me your charger.

Speaker 1 Because I knew he had lost yours. So I was like, this guy, Hank, he's just fucking eating chargers this time.
I got back. I bought a charger, gave it to someone at the stew,

Speaker 1 and then I forgot to get it back when I went back to the bus. I had 10% when I got back to the bus.
No chargers there.

Speaker 1 Going to sleep with like 10% on your battery and not knowing whether or not it's still going to be alive when you wake up. Yep.
What a rush. Yep.
Yep.

Speaker 1 That's great week. Yeah, that is great week.
All right, PFT, your

Speaker 4 firefest of the week. Okay, I got two.
One, my debit card got stolen while I was away.

Speaker 4 Somebody bought like an $1,100 iPhone in New York while I was on the road, so had to cancel that, which means that now I'm without a debit card for the next probably week or so, which it sucks, but it also has a silver lining because it resets everything when it comes to all the monthly charges that I have.

Speaker 4 It's like the circle of life.

Speaker 4 It's like

Speaker 4 winter time. Everything freezes over and only the strong seeds grow back.
I have to go ahead and reauthorize every single monthly payment to continue.

Speaker 4 So I'm probably going to say, actually, between that and OnlyFans, this is just a great month for saving money. Yes.

Speaker 4 And then also a Firefest is at five o'clock this morning, the people directly upstairs. from my hotel room started pounding it like fucking

Speaker 1 right there they were

Speaker 4 i'm telling you like i've never heard a bed hit the ground i swear to god i opened my eyes it's 5 a.m right and I think like there's no way that this is what I'm hearing my brain tells me I think I must be downstairs from the fitness center because that's the sound of somebody running on a treadmill and because they went for like 30 minutes and I was like this there's no chance and they got so after like 10 minutes I started hearing some of the noises some of the groans and then I heard a guy just saying get some

Speaker 1 get some get some that's right

Speaker 1 I'm gonna ask a question that I think is on everyone's mind did you jerk off listening to it no pussy because I'm still suspicious. I would have.
No, because it's fucking free porn.

Speaker 1 Because I was still high. That's the thing.

Speaker 1 Dude, you have to.

Speaker 1 You have to jerk off.

Speaker 1 I probably would have. Did they sound hot? You have to.

Speaker 4 They didn't sound hot.

Speaker 4 All I heard was the guy. So, like, who knows?

Speaker 4 I didn't know if it was sus or not because I would have just been, oh my God. I would have been cranking it to just a guy going, get some,

Speaker 1 get some.

Speaker 1 He's just jerking off.

Speaker 4 I think I'm going to have to start saying during sex now because it sounds like an alpha movie. Get some.
Get some.

Speaker 1 Get some.

Speaker 4 But yeah it was um i think if it's between the hours of like midnight and three and i woke up and i heard that you're right free porn yeah um but like four and five a.m that's when i'm in that middle i don't know if i'm alive or dead zone my brain doesn't work correctly

Speaker 4 yeah when i'm when i'm in a hotel room by myself i'm like pray that the people next to me fuck just so i can get a quick show i was i i normally don't mind that but this was it was aggressive and i wanted to tell you guys all morning because of what a crazy sound it was that was coming coming from, like directly upstairs, not like an adjacent, it was directly over my head, just the sound of the bed going like

Speaker 4 oh, hell yeah, for 30 minutes. Hell yeah, get some, get some, get some.

Speaker 1 Um, all right, firefest. I got two.
Um, well, no,

Speaker 1 no, I have one. I have one, uh, and I actually don't think you guys even know this happened, but it happened like five feet away from you.
Uh, I puked on the bus. I puked on the bus on the ride from

Speaker 1 are you pregnant to myself?

Speaker 1 We hit a bump and I swallowed a pouch.

Speaker 1 I was in the back.

Speaker 1 This was part of the spillage. It was like a whole, it all happened at the same time.
It was like, it was like spitting, bump, spill, swallow. I went into the bathroom, I puked.

Speaker 1 You guys were listening to music, so you didn't hear. And I was like, thank God they didn't hear.

Speaker 4 It sucked.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I puked a lot.

Speaker 4 When was the last time you threw it from dip?

Speaker 1 It had been a long time, but it was like the perfect. And shout out Ben.
Ben's been a great bus driver, but he hit a bump, and I just fucking swallowed a full pouch. It was so bad.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, that was my firefest. It was actually more that, like, I don't want them to hear me puke.
So, thank God you guys didn't hear me. Yeah.
Great job hiding. Yeah.
It was like a music.

Speaker 1 Well, there was music. It's loud on the bus.
But, like, you know, that, like, there's that moment where you puke and you're just like, oh, fuck.

Speaker 1 Like, the embarrassment of everyone be like, did you puke? So I was able to.

Speaker 4 From a body image standpoint, I know that you've got a lot of compliments on how skinny you are. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Is there something you want to talk about? No.

Speaker 1 I wish I could do that. Sneaking away.
No, that's not healthy. Don't do that.

Speaker 4 Sneaking away thrown up. I wish I could do that.
How are your teeth? How's the enamel in your teeth?

Speaker 1 Oh, nice. Put them on there.

Speaker 1 Also, I miss my kids. That was my other funny thing.
I should have worn these all.

Speaker 4 I'm glad that you said kids.

Speaker 1 I miss my kids a lot.

Speaker 4 The last time you said that you missed your son, it sounded like a Drew Brees situation.

Speaker 1 Well, someone pointed that out, but my daughter is three months, so she can't talk.

Speaker 1 My son is at the point now where it's like I'd rather hang out with him than anyone else in the world because like we just fucking bro out. So my daughter will get there.

Speaker 1 She'll learn words and all that shit.

Speaker 1 Also, I totally forgot to say it. Shout out Peggy, who was integral to Grit Week.
Absolute sane. She works with us, helps us book guests.
She's a great guest booker.

Speaker 1 This has been like a four-month process dealing with Teams, COVID, vaccinations.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the vaccines and all the paperwork and shit that went into this movie compared to other ones.

Speaker 4 She's on top of everything. Yeah.
And she's super communicative. She works with us, going back and forth with the teams.
So she's super professional all the time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so maybe just everyone,

Speaker 1 if you feel inclined, just tweet out, shout out Peggy, because she was awesome this week and she's great to work with. All right.

Speaker 5 Jake, Firefest. Yeah, so yesterday I was taking a bunch of pictures of you guys at the AWLs, and next thing I know, a bunch of beer falls on my back.

Speaker 1 And now I have an outfit full of beer that hopefully isn't smelling up the rest of us. So Billy hit a drink

Speaker 1 and said nothing to do with hundreds of people smashing like hundreds of people absolutely plates and glasses.

Speaker 4 It was the loudest crash I've ever heard at a restaurant in my entire life. And Billy just like trying to walk away from it like he didn't do anything.

Speaker 1 No, I did not do it.

Speaker 4 And then Jake having his entire back covered.

Speaker 1 It was a perfect encapsulation of Jake and Billy and like who they are. Billy's a guy who like, even if it, let's just say it wasn't your fault.

Speaker 1 Even it wasn't your fault, you're still like at the scene of the crime and everyone's like, God damn it, Billy. Like, people, well, I was going to say people started an asshole chant.

Speaker 1 I started an asshole chant, and the whole bar did it for you.

Speaker 1 And then Jake, like for the next hour, was like, my back is so wet. This is gross.

Speaker 6 Actually, who do you think knocked it over? The person who was totally dry or the person who was wet?

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 who's closer to it? So that was unsolved.

Speaker 1 Dude, there's nothing like starting a good asshole chanting.

Speaker 6 I know, and I know the thing is, everyone started chanting. I felt bad for the actual person who knocked it over.
No, you didn't.

Speaker 6 No, that's why I started doing it like OJ. That's why I started doing it.

Speaker 1 You can never go near a drink card again? No, that's

Speaker 6 cleaning up the stuff because I was like, oh my god, because the person who actually did it was Yeah, Billy started just picking up glass with his bare hands.

Speaker 1 Pretty cool move.

Speaker 6 Yeah, well, they're big pieces. But I felt, yeah.

Speaker 4 Are you saying, though, that it might have been Jake?

Speaker 6 No, it wasn't Jake. I know who did it.
Who was it?

Speaker 1 I'm not going to embarrass. Say the name.

Speaker 4 I'm not going to embarrass you. It's always you.

Speaker 1 If you did do it, how would you have done it? Yeah.

Speaker 6 No, it was unfortunately one of the servers put something on there and the whole thing you say servants servers.

Speaker 1 Oh, oh,

Speaker 1 all right, Billy, you're uh Mount Rush or Fire Pass.

Speaker 6 The whole wing fiasco. The worst part about it was, so I failed the wing challenge.
You were close, though. No, not at all.

Speaker 1 Yeah, fail is like, I think they wouldn't. I don't even know if they give you an F because that would show that you showed up.

Speaker 4 It was incomplete.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so basically took one down, realized having no beverage, no blue cheese, no nothing was ridiculous.

Speaker 6 Like when you're chewing a whole drumstick in your mouth because you're trying to get it down fast because speed's the only way it works.

Speaker 6 Like where you can get away from the heat, you get caught up and then you realize like once you take it the second bite, like, yeah, you're not doing this. Like, you gotta get out.

Speaker 6 But the worst part is that the video didn't show like the several like hours afterwards where I was just like sweating, you know, like my lips blew up like Billy tried to say the humidity reactivated the heat like three hours later.

Speaker 6 It did. I put the put a mask on and was sweating and then my lips started burning again.

Speaker 6 There was like a little bit of sauce on my wrist that like was not on the glove and it like was burning till like the next morning.

Speaker 4 So what is the excuse that you're going to make?

Speaker 6 I'm not making an excuse. It's a very hard wing challenge.

Speaker 4 Okay. All right, because there was an excuse that you were making yesterday, which was that they amped up the spiciness of the wings because they had it in for you personally.

Speaker 1 No, you think that they made it spicier than normally.

Speaker 6 The chef sees a bunch of cameras and some guy's doing the wing challenge and he's like, oh, I'm going to fuck this guy up 100%.

Speaker 1 By the way, last breaking news, breaking moose.

Speaker 1 Breaking news, breaking moose.

Speaker 1 There was a poll done by Scouts and Executives, and LeBron James got zero votes as best player in the NBA.

Speaker 1 He then tweeted, Thank you, all caps, as if I didn't need more gas or

Speaker 1 didn't need more to fuel me. Hashtag washed.

Speaker 4 No, hashtag washed King.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, I missed this as that.

Speaker 4 That's a nickname that everyone's calling him.

Speaker 1 All right, so Billy, you got anything else?

Speaker 6 Yeah, we have, there was a new NIL sponsorship signing with Kool-Aid McKinstry, who obviously signed with Kool-Aid, and they did a really cool picture on their Twitter, which was like the Arnold Schwarzenegger picture where it's the two guys.

Speaker 6 like holding hands but it was him and the kool-aid man funny bob was here yeah that's a great name other signings, we have a bunch of quarterbacks who are assigned to chickens restaurants.

Speaker 6 Sam Howells, Bo Jangles, J.T. Daniels, Zaxby's, and Spencer Rattlers was to Raising Cane, so a little chicken rivalry there.

Speaker 1 And yeah, that's pretty good. Nervous little bird.

Speaker 4 Billy, are you ever going to get a chicken advertisement after your performance?

Speaker 3 Probably not. Probably no, never.

Speaker 4 Probably going to go vegan. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Ooh, you should go vegan.

Speaker 4 You should do a vegan food challenge.

Speaker 1 You did look really skinny, by the way, in that one picture.

Speaker 6 Yeah, no, I definitely get in bulking season.

Speaker 1 Yeah, what's going on with that? People are saying you're a beta? No. Oh, okay.
I just read it. I was just like, I was reading the internet, dude.

Speaker 6 I was trying to get a six-pack, like Hank said, because I thought Hank actually might do it.

Speaker 1 Now it's like a

Speaker 1 Billy's like disgust when I say the word beta. No,

Speaker 1 that's not true.

Speaker 1 Jake, you want to do numbers? Get the random number generator? 76. 8.
99. 69.
99.

Speaker 1 645.

Speaker 1 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8.

Thank you, everyone who listened and saw us out. We fucking love Grit Week.
We love you guys. And

Speaker 1 yeah, we have more Grit Week coming up. Hank looks like a fucking douchebag.

Speaker 6 In an ode to Buffalo, there was was at one point 30 to 60 million buffaloes across America, and Lewis and Clark said that it was so crowded with buffaloes they had to like push them aside to get across the Great Plains.

Speaker 1 Wow, buffaloes, discentrate. Love you guys.
