Tyler Looney He was also a number 36 Couple legends out there Couple number 36 legends Apologize to all the other 36ers out there If we missed you Promise it was not personal We have an awesome episode Basically going to recap our weeks After the Super Bowl We all went different places Yes we did Saw things for the first time Experienced things for the first time Tasted things for the first time And then the end of the episode We're going to interrogate Some of the other members Of the back of the bus About why an episode did not go out last week we apologize for that episode not coming out drop the files drop apparently the files are nowhere to be found yeah that's what they're saying that's super weird they're sending a screenshot from the episode if we can find the epstein files we can find the inside the bus file they just we can find those files deleted the whole thing just so never see the light of day well apparently they recorded twice it's so nice they recorded twice and they couldn't even find it there's a double recording? Yeah, because the first one was so bad that they were like, alright, we need to do this again, and then I guess it was worse the second time. I wonder how long it was going for. Matt, did you sit in on it? Oh, dang. Do we have a... Let's give him one of these mics for a second. Give him that one. I was in the files. Oh, no. Alright, clip that. So anything you want to get off your chest before we go through all this stuff? No, I mean, it was terrible. But is it as bad as it's being made out to be? Yeah, it was so bad. But like in what way, I guess, is my... Like it was just not funny at all. It was so not funny. You guys are the backbone, I guess. It was terrible. This was your guys' time to shine. Didn't you just say you wanted to be talent on here? yeah i was caring for sure but like every like it was not funny thank you for caring we turned your camera on so you you have yours oh shit um this is matt he he's he's in the files his words not mine it just wasn't fun how long was the first recording like i don't even i don't even think there were two recordings i think it was one big long recording i don't even remember oh so maybe like halfway through you guys like we've got to start over almost probably like yeah I like cut and be like, welcome to. Yeah, I don't even remember. I don't remember two recordings. I just remember one really bad one. So what if they left Matt out of the second recording? We'll have to get into it once we get. We will. One thing I really want to get into is on the company card, they spent over $100 on orange T-shirts to match. So that's the company's money. All for this to be not. Yeah. What? I didn't even know. That's news to me. Yeah. So that was the most expensive episode in Inside the Bus podcast history. We didn't even have to pay to have George. Look at our decoration. Yeah, we had George Kill on no payment. And you guys went to Walmart to all buy matching orange jumpsuits just to delete the files. I didn't do that. I was just given a t-shirt. I will say Coop was given one task. And at least he had them boys in orange. He did. I was proud to hear that. Was that a thing we had to say? Or we told him he had to do? We just said Coop was in charge, and he said boys wear orange. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. And I will be interested to hear also just how the week went in general with everybody being gone. I feel like it's always a vibe. Yeah. Do we want to have Matt say how the week went? I don't want to wait until Coop's up here. Okay, cool. Because Coop was leading it, and then Matt can chime in. True, true, true, true, true. Matt is climbing his way up the rankings is what I'm personally taking away from all this stuff. that's good yeah wait with what in the good rankings like like of the job you're committed to the brand you're the job yeah oh just the bus and power rankings yeah i hope so i was yeah the inside the bus brand you're that's the most that's the most important brand right well said like the next time there's an open seat on this couch so there's a note on the window that you can't see that says don't say anything or else from jared b there you go you it's on there i respect that how to get that up there he's got a stick up there yeah oh it's gone now as it should be see there's a lot of files in this episode they're scared about something yeah the files well we said some bad stuff to deep dive into it but how's everybody's week off i mean do we want to talk about our last episode that was actually put out yeah we We could start there with the Super Bowl. Arguably the greatest episode in bussing as a whole in the history of this brand. I feel like I'm cheesing the same way I was cheesing in that episode. You were definitely smiling, but your eyes are way more open this time. Where was the place we were right before we recorded? We were at the New Heights. New Heights. Oh, yeah. Partying. With Delaney. Yeah. Where were we before that, though? We were at George's. George's. The Rubicon. Or was it Rubicon? This is not a name dropping situation, but we got to a point at that party where it was like, I don't know what made me think. I got to know what Delaney's doing. So I just text Delaney. I was like, where are you at? And he was like, Travis's party. Come through. I was like, we're not. We can't get in. He was like, I got you. Travis's party. Taylor's here. Oh, yeah. Taylor was there. Taylor was with us. Yeah. Yeah. Taylor was with us and then wasn't with us. And then was at that party. Obviously I don't remember a ton We went to the Rubicon event And then we ditched Taylor We knew Taylor was never going to come to that Neither was Will So we go and JP did a great job of putting the brand Bust with the Boys in front of Important people Shout out JP And I think we carried it well For the brand I was actually talking about this yesterday How our bosses weren't necessarily Showing face But we had to at least go and shake the hands Like we appreciate you guys always coming on And this and that And then we You somehow connected with Delaney And that's when we figured out that Taylor LeJuan Is at the New Heights party Which if you know Taylor, Taylor doesn't drink very often He doesn't go out He prioritizes his sleep very well So to hear that he was at this party We were shocked And then I'll let you take it G Because you started just buddy-buddying With Delaney and he's like get over here yeah exactly i just hit him up and obviously knowing that delaney runs the bay i was like i gotta text the king and immediately was like just come through i was like we're not on the list he was like it doesn't matter like come on we show up and what does delaney do he's like they're all with me so we get in there and i think you brought it up and i didn't really notice the situation but we walk in and like however the room's laid out like there's a area over here to the right that is packed with people and then an area over to the left that has a good amount of people but more room to like walk around delaney walks us over to that side and then on the other side of that is a rope and we are in this next area which felt like vip vip yeah and we were one vip section past joe burrow's vip section that yeah when you said that i was like oh okay i was like there what we were chilling comfortably but did anyone ask delaney like why we were over there delaney just took us there yeah y'all were in the vip the vip vip wait but what happened in beast games we'll get to that and we will get to that i think we need to discuss and is clump gonna come on this at all i hope so because we we had do we want to talk about the joe burrow situation we need him to come up here for this he'll be up here but we we can talk about Joe Burrow situation. We'll kind of go over it lightly, but we were trying to get Joe Burrow on the podcast, as we have been trying for years. Joe Burrow's not a big media guy. You don't see him on too many interviews. Jeremy Klump, I will give him credit. In Super Bowl week, he operates. And he has zero shame. Fearless. Fearless is the perfect word. Zero shame. We get to this party, and the first thing he does is runs up to Joe Burrow and goes, dude, we'd love to have you on Bustle the Boys once again. And we're like drinking. And you can tell like this is a time where like, yeah, networking is OK. But it's kind of like, let's put the phones away. Let's like hang out and hang out. Yeah. And I don't know if anyone remembers Joe's direct response, but I believe it was something along the lines of I don't. Yeah. Got to be honest with you. No shot. Yeah. Like something like that, which honestly, very respectful for Joe B. And it's like guy knows what he wants to do, knows what he doesn't want to do. knows his worth but then him and taylor over there talking to them and i don't know clump was like devastated but then he was like talking about like it was the coolest moment of his trip and i was like the best it's like all right i don't know clump and taylor were both like but they asked him again they asked joe a second time yeah he's like if you catch me on the right day for sure but oh he said that no he said yeah cool they were like what if we came up for training company he was like no uh what if we come up for this other time no and they were like what about ota's he was like i could maybe do ota's okay and said something along the lines of i don't do podcasts but if i did i'd be good at it and that's when i think the respect where he was like all right respect to joe b but okay i mean what a way to get denied twice by joe b if we get them like we'll have to all bend the knee to clump at least for a day oh yeah because that'd be awesome but that was a fun party at this point though we are in the process this was on like wednesday i think out there correct because we knew this was the first night we had like events to go to and we knew that whole day that we were going to record inside the bus with jeremy clump for the first time and the objective was to definitely get a buzz and the night went the way it did and the fact that we still recorded objective was confirmed insane there were some cuts i don't know if you were able to tell which is bullshit honestly drop those files i will soon enough if you guys pester me enough i'll drop those files but it was one of those when we were at that New Heights party that that completely slipped my mind. And on the way back, when we were going to Klump's room to get him is when I was like, oh yeah, we're about to record. And then we're all four of us walking to his room. Yeah. We get to Klump's door and it's a, that door flies open and he's walking out. He was waiting and looking through the eye hole for us. I'm like, you were there 30 minutes before us. I'm just picturing him cracked Just looking But Shout out Travis Kelsey that night too Coming and chopping it up Shout out Mitch Shout out Mitch Just you know Networking with Trav I was like dude I don't know if you remember this Mind you this is like the fourth time I've said this Like dude I don't know if you remember this It's the first thing he says to Trav too This was like three years ago But like We took a shot on my birthday You wish me happy birthday It's just a cool thing Come on dog And he's like Bro I don't know why you think I keep forgetting this. And I'm like. He said that so fast to you. And I'm like, there's no way he remembers saying happy birthday to you. You know, it's all love. But he stood on it very hard. I think he does remember, dude. After that, I think. He might not remember the shot. He might remember Mitch asking every single time we see him. Like, hey, man. I was sitting there and I remember drinking my beer and almost spitting it out. Being like, we're doing this. That's when you just have to keep chugging. Well, you know, because you were being like, bro, like, Trav, we can't thank you enough being all cool to the boys. I was like, you've always been cool to us, like letting us back. He was like, it's all good. And Mitch is like, man, I don't know if you remember this though. I think you said happy birthday to me three years ago. I'm literally dying. I'm like, I'm like, all right, well, there goes our credentials in this VIP. Well, what's funny about, you're so cool about it. You being like, you're so cool about letting us back here. In his mind, he's probably like, how the fuck did you all get in here? He probably was. He's like, well, I can't like go back on it now. They're going to get slandered on inside the bus. I don't think he honestly really cared, to be honest with you. I think we went late enough that it didn't matter. It was just funny that we were past a certain section of security that Joe Burrow was not in. It was truly Delaney and Travis. Delaney, Travis, and one of them. And Colson Loveland, who I thought was Trey McBride. Mitch, it was 0 for 2 that night. Have you told Coop about that yet? No, I haven't. You might have to pull that one up. Not for this episode, though. We're not giving them any ammo. But we start recording inside the bus. Well, first, I think I probably charged $150 in drinks from the mini fridge. I took... Opened everything. I mean, they only had one drink of each thing. I think I ended the night with a whiskey and a bottle of champagne. Wine. Like a shooter of... Shooters. And I think I was the only one really drinking it. You just kept pouring club strength? Yeah, it was just pouring champagne. He's like, what the heck? He's like, no, dude, it's fine. Dude, it's an accident. In the accident, he's trying to put it in his glass. Just be nice, dude. Drink it. And Klump did. He's kind of a tank. Yeah, for sure. Klump was yugging, dude. And that two and on story was all time. Yeah, there was a lot of information that I wasn't really aware from Klump's past. And Klump's a good storyteller when he's in his element. Oh, yeah. He put that hood on. He put the hood on. We got to have a part two with him. For sure. We have to. Part two and on. Part two and on. I'll try to remember what the word was that you kept saying. part two and on. One of my favorite things about those trips is going back through the shared album. Afterwards, it's scrolling through. Mitch had some iconic photos at Bud Light Party. Green Day was awesome. Gavin Newsom was at the Green Day concert and sees Taylor and seeks him out. He's like, man, love your show. Would love for you to come on my show. Would love to come on your show. So stay tuned for that. I think next week we'll probably have Gavin Newsom. He'll be sitting right here. I saw Michael Irvin. Yeah, yeah, I was in the bathroom and Michael Irvin's agent was like are you Jeremy clump from boys? No, I saw clump coming out of the bathroom motion You know when clump is like trying to tell you something But he's also trying to tell someone more important than you that same thing and he's like yeah He doing that and he like we got over we got over we are and I like you did not just go to in the bathroom and Approach Michael Irvin and get it He like no no no I swear to God I did He was his agent He was right there And the next thing you know it like Taylor Klump Michael Irvin, his agent, and they're all just chopping it up, like laughing. I'm like, Klump is fearless. He had motion for real. And think about how far we've come since the Drake Party Super Bowl and how far Michael Irvin has come since the Drake Party Super Bowl. Wow, that's a full circle moment. Because Michael Irvin, when we were at Drake Party, Super Bowl, standing outside of the Drake Party at the Super Bowl, Michael Irvin also tried to get into that party, maybe made it in for a few seconds, then five minutes later we see him walking out solo, very drunk, very happy. He definitely had maybe a little bit too much fun inside, and he was pissed coming out. But fast forward a couple years, inside the bus and Michael Irvin, both in the parties. At the Green Day Party. The Green Day Party. In the VIP. Green Day Party ripped. Yeah that was great I was worried that we were Going to miss it We missed the two best songs But We walked in And what song were they playing Those are Broken Dreams God Thank God we got to see that one Me and Gary In the span of 24 hours Saw Post Malone Green Day Diplo Disco Lines And Sorry Matt We can talk about that too Matt We can Honestly The Disco Lines event Was awesome Yeah cause after Yeah cause after Yeah Again Shadow Clump An absolute monster for just going up to disco lines at this event where it was a form energy. So it was a workout. 10 a.m. disco line set. 100 people working out, huge energy and disco lines there. But they said you can't film him, which is like, what? He clearly didn't care about that. Klump, fearlessly before this event starts, just goes up to disco lines and FaceTimes Matt Malone. Anything special that was said on that call? So I'm like hungover as hell. It's like 9 a.m. on like a sat was that saturday yeah it's 9 a.m dude it was 10 a.m for us on the west coast i was just i was i get a call like a face time from clump but i was like bro you're probably stressing like i was stressing i was like either i was like i was like either he's mad at me or clump's drunk and so i was like whatever and so i get this face time and it's just disco lies bro and he's just like twin and i was like what up twin and i forgot i then it kind of got awkward for a second i didn't know what to say i was like he's blacked out i was like you at the super bowl he's like yeah man i'm like hell yeah and then he was like you're handsome as hell bro and i was sitting there like damn bro i called him chop bro he did you called him chopped on this podcast i know and he was like do you're handsome as hell he said that and i was like fuck so are you i was i said so are you and i was like he's like he's like where are you at i'm like i'm at home they They left me. And he was like, where are you at? I was like, I'm in Nashville. He's like, you need to come perform a pinnacle. And he was like, I got you, bro. Part three loading. Part three loading. We'll see, though. If Disco Alliance is in town, we need to reach out so y'all can meet up. Bro, Matt behind the decks with him. Y'all got to stop. I'm getting too excited. He's saying about the potential husses. He said that. Oh, yeah. He wanted to move the office to the Gulch. because he said of the ladies in the gulch so we can be around that. Imagine Matt in Disco Lines running a two-man. I feel bad for... Never mind. I feel bad for any woman. But yeah, that was the last event we did and then we all scattered in our separate ways. Is there anything else from... Well, you say that about in a matter of 48 hours all the people you saw. In a matter of 72 hours, Garrett was all the way in Europe. Garrett had to have been one of the most traveled humans on the planet in in 48 72 hours I didn't calculate the miles but going from Sam Fran we I was home for I don't know not very long at all we landed back here at like 9 p.m. on Sunday yeah no Saturday Saturday you offer like 10 and then you were gone by 5 p.m the next day yeah uh flew to amsterdam it was awesome but from sam fran to amsterdam it's a nine hour difference and somehow adjusted to the time i think like fairly well but yeah it was definitely one of those where i'm glad that i left that fast because i didn't have time to really like think about it it was just kind of like all right well we're just going to get there and then we're there uh but that first full day there when i landed i was like holy Holy shit. Row to yourself too on the way there. Do what? Row to yourself on the plane. Elite row to myself. Lay down the whole flight. Huge. That was clutch because I needed the sleep. And I knew I was going to be exhausted from the week before. So I was kind of baking. Did you actually lay down and sleep? I woke up. My foot was out in the aisle. Like definitely just fully stretched. And I just woke up to someone like bending my leg, walking by and just putting it back. That's so funny. but yeah i definitely needed that sleep because when i landed in amsterdam it was like 10 45 a.m so it's like we're going like you gotta stay up until like you're going to bed um amsterdam is amazing though like i want to go back when it's warm like we went definitely during the slow months and it was still a blast like you got to walk around lines are way shorter except for this one food place every single day when it opened at 10 the line was like down the street that's those sandwiches you were showing me yes oh is it the one you reviewed or a different one no a different one did bobby and cam go to this place maybe because i remember them talking about a place they wait in line for forever um the but yeah the trip to amsterdam like in the warm months it i can see it being like one of the best places to be at least for like a couple days that's the other good part is it's small but there's so much to do that like you're not bored by like day two or three um like in comparison to like a u.s city what would you compare it to size wise greenville like bigger than nashville it's just i don't know like it's different because it people are biking everywhere so like if you think that like a 20 minute bike ride is long then like it's big but if you don't think a 20 minute bike ride's long then it's not very big. I'd like to work. I'd like to work. It's such a different ride, though. Like, hey, such a different ride because it's so flat there. You're everywhere fast, bro. Yeah. I mean, it was awesome. We stayed in this just south of the city center of Amsterdam in De Pipe. And that neighborhood was really cool. There you go, Matt. It's D-E space P-I-J-P. De Pipe. He booked it. but bro it was a cool ass neighborhood like very like low-key calm chill good restaurants bars like a ton of like vintage stores but a very cool vibe to like end up in in the afternoon after you go to the city center because it is like very touristy down there yeah but very cool um had a million guinness which was awesome even though we're in the land of heineken uh their olympic team is going viral right now does that add up you know based on the looks of their olympic team i didn't see a lot of them walking around italy because they're all in italy um i've been kind of tapped out of social because my sake that part was uh attractive women oh yeah yeah if the olympics were based on looks they're dude they're gold medals they're just the dutch and their summer they trained at img academy when i worked there in the summer we'll talk about as well yeah i was there during that time and dude they're working out in the gym and they got out all men and women included all extremely good looking all ripped and just elite athletes across the board i'm like this the dutch seemed like one of the fittest of of the kinds they they were a very fun group to be around obviously like the people we're around are the ones that are still in the pubs in like february so they're just splitting g's just trying bro that was the one thing is it took so long to like i actually get it i don't know if america has like the wrong cup wrong glass but i don't know and you turned 32 there turned 32 on wednesday out there uh went to a meduza concert which was absolutely insane oh the videos from that are unreal it was so fun and it was one of those i was showing you the videos yesterday like they have way more songs that i realized i knew and it slapped this uh the venue was like an old church and so it in the background behind the stage has like all the old like stained glass windows and they've put lights in them so like it was it was tight um very fun show after that we just fucking stayed up till like 3 a.m and just rage turned 32 left it all out on the field have to um but yeah then we woke up and trained to berlin and i don't want to like piss anyone off but germany sucks like what's across the board what's that across the board it sucks or the food i mean i put that picture up of meat loaf it was just a fucking hot dog square grilled uh i thought i was getting mashed potatoes it was potato salad that was awful i had potato soup and that was like the only good meal i had actually the barilla tacos were pretty good um potato soup sounds like a just like a dish it's basically it's hearty it basically like german food i realized was just like very hearty it feels like they're still eating in medieval times yeah um i mean they're like best known for like a bratwurst so like yeah what do you what do we'll take that throw it on the grill yeah july kielbasa uh watch us make it better but i don't know germany's just i think also it being cold it just like felt even more like eerie yeah because it's already a scary place you know yeah um but we went to a soccer game on saturday which was sick our team got their shit kicked in saying our team because i bought a scarf um but you told us like when you buy tickets you have to buy this yeah you have to pick the team yeah it requested you to pick the the team and i think it's because in the stadium they have like uh these glass dividers around so like on the home team on the hearth aside there was a glass barrier i don't know like say there's like six sections within this glass barrier and i think it's to just like make sure there's no like riots or fan fighting um yeah it was it was cool it was a very cool experience they were rowdy they love their team but they lost we lost i'll take that um but yeah germany was a quick trip we went to i was telling matt about it we went to this like uh very hard techno show and while it was a very cool experience it was also very frightening uh where i was like maybe drugs are bad uh it was i don't even know how to explain it other than like very dark and like once you're in there everything goes and we definitely stuck out as americans and so you're kind of just head on a swivel the whole time but it was uh what was going it was an experience house of sin yeah basically a massive house of sin uh no but apparently in like the warm months it's rowdy um like people just don't wear clothes apparently it was very weird this event also starts at 10 p.m and goes till 10 a.m. Oh, dude. And so it's... We showed up at 12, 15 a.m. Because our train was at like 7 a.m. We were like, let's just stay up and then we'll just get on the train and sleep on the way back. Because the train ride's like five hours. So we get there at like 12, 15 a.m. and we roll up and it's me, Justin, his cousin Sean, our homie Sid. Yeah, I didn't know Sid came and met you guys. He was there for work and ended up staying an extra day to hang with us, which was awesome. Yo, I'm actually here. It was sick. And then a guy that works in Sid's company, Stefan, was with us. We had like a squad. And we show up and like, I don't know. It's already kind of sketchy. And I'm a very observant person when I get somewhere. And I'm just like scoping it out. this building is looks like an abandoned like garret born school like like old school not like old school like an old school building with like six floors and then there's like a courtyard situation but you get to the door and the guy is like typical like german door guy at a club puffer jacket like i don't even he could have had a shy steon i don't know but he was like uh first question was like what are you doing here and we're like we're here for the show luckily sid talked the whole time i didn't say a word but uh like we're here for like the the show or whatever and he was like what are your intentions and it is a hard german accent and i'm just like low-key i'm like god if he says no i won't be mad yeah because i can hear the how hard the techno is from outside and i'm like this is i know we're here for a while and this is gonna be rough because it's just not my like taste in music um eventually we get in we're just so confused we're like where the fuck do we go apparently there's a coat check you go up like a couple floors in the stairwell and you end up on some floor that has like this insane like low lighting situation going on so immediately when you get in it is a full-on experience and there's probably like four to five different rooms throughout this building that are having like people spin so one room's like really fucking trancy techno one's like the hardest techno i've ever heard the fastest pace i can't even explain how it felt like the subs were so hard and when i would leave the room it felt like my entire body was moving in slow-mo for from how fast the sounds that's crazy oh yeah it was again very like wild experience because i'm like this doesn't happen in the u.s like the closest thing is like the 4 a.m set at bonnaroo like yeah disco lines yeah and even then like i feel like i've seen some people on drugs but this was a different they're in a different world and it was just dark and like scary honestly but again cool to see that's how they get down and it was the germans drug of choices it was molly 100 yeah oh yeah because they had like multiple uh sucker stands and everyone's just and like that's hilarious so on top of that like everyone's like locked into like this whole experience the whole night like lily palmer was like the main artist that played and apparently she's a massive german techno artist like over a million followers on instagram like she's huge deal for them and so when she went on it was like 2 a.m i listened to one song i was like i i can't do this there was a room that had a bar and the guy was spinning what i like coined as like german disco it was still like kind of like this this place sounds insane like i the other things too is like they tell you don't get your phone out so like people are like sneaking videos every once a while but like i was truly like i'm not taking my phone out but there are like dark corners of this building that i hope those people are okay i'll say that that's scary dude yeah it was fun but i was like we'll never do that again also like america's figured out electronic music yeah i think we're probably better at it so hot take let's go germans are just weird man just a weird it was I mean it's definitely Berlin's a city with a lot of history and you feel it everywhere you go bad history I'll say that yeah not good history and it being cold just made it way worse it's like a cold community gray yeah yeah no one was very friendly at all I feel the German accent isn't a very like not very well yeah yeah and we we went back to Amsterdam for like a half a day to fly out and that half day was it was like a warm hug just going back to like a pleasant city and environment and somewhere i kind of already knew the landscape right so that was nice but overall it was an awesome way to spend our week off um i am exhausted though like i feel like i adjusted the time coming back but today i woke up and was like oh shit i tired yeah like for real tired but worth it now it's time to lock in yeah we gotta lock in after this weekend it's time to lock in post instagram story sent me the rest of 2026 and it was goku and super saiyan locked in after this weekend strings week after this weekend strings week matt doesn't like billy strings no you don't i offered matt a free ticket and he said no what is that real bullshit no it's not that's crazy i said i said give it to a guy who probably likes billy more so why would you give it a shot i would love i don't i remember the titans game when we all had the best day ever we did have the best wait was is the seat next to you and every like the whole squad it might have been i mean it's with me yeah dude i just feel like so he's gonna go if it's not no no but i'm I told G, I was like, give it to a guy who truly loves Billy. All right. So give him to a string head. Give it to a string head, man. Is that what they call them? That's what you, them, them. No, I forget what they call them. There's a name for it. And it's, it's, I don't know what it is. Stringers. Stringers. Stringers. Strung out. Strung out. Yeah. Jack, you were in the number one city in the USA. You really were. Yeah, I was in San Diego. I don't know if you can hear my voice. I've been recovering from the flu this week. And I also got sick last week. So from San Francisco, I made a last-second decision. I went to Vegas with my girlfriend, Shannon. I forgot about that. And we met Taylor. And we had a very quick and fun little run. What's funny too is we're talking about how we saw Post Malone Green Day, Diplo, Disco Lines I also saw Bruno Mars in a private concert Oh dude I saw that Crazy So whenever me and Taylor go out to Vegas It's very business forward Like when I say business It's like gambling being the business And like the UFC and the vlogs We never go out We're not partying Every now and again I'll sneak out on my own Like meet a friend that's in town Go do that But for the first time Dana and his crew they're like we're going out and I was like oh that's news to me and I'm looking at Shannon because it's my girlfriend like this her first time experiencing this whole world I'm like this doesn't normally happen we go to this club called Pinky Ring in Caesars Palace which is which was news to me is Bruno Mars' club and what they do it's you walk in no phones allowed it's the tightest security I've ever seen in a club and we go in we're one of these private like boots section and we walk in and uh dana is like dana's such a gentleman when it comes like women being around and because shane and my girlfriend being there for the first time he's being extra like kind and like sit down take this seat blah blah she's seen the video yeah and we're with dan lanning i don't know if we should talk about that i mean he could just say that part yeah dan lanning's there dan lanning absolute legend um but yeah at one point uh dana's like you guys like bruno mars and we're like yeah he's like he's literally just sitting right there where you are shannon and then he's like he's about to go and play and he ended up playing like 10 songs and none of his songs all just like awesome rock and roll covers um it was a really good time and then we're kind of ready to go because shannon and i have a flight the next morning but it's like you don't leave until the big guy leaves dana was partying that night like he was just waiting i'm drinking this whiskey thinking it's for the table and it turns out it's dana's private stash of whiskey and there's like a whole other and i've been mixing it with diet coke and i look up the retail price of this bottle of whiskey and just off of like a wholesale shelf so the cheapest you could find this whiskey is 1200 so i can imagine in a club this thing is probably minimum five grand probably around 10 and at towards the end towards the end dame is like who's looking at the server she's like who's been drinking that no one should be drinking that and then i'm i'm like i have my glass and i'm like i lean back and i'm like oh no and of course the lady just points at me it's like he's been drinking it all night and he looks at me and it's like he doesn't know who's making eye contact with and he sees me and then he's like oh okay no and I was like I looked it up and dude when I looked up the bottle like it was like five seconds I took a you can't have phones out there and Dana had brought Shannon right next to her to get like the front row view of Bruno and I'm like Taylor you have to get a video of Dana Bruno Mars and Shannon I'm like her dad's gonna lose it and so Dana I mean Taylor pulls his phone out like this and I would say count to five and by five someone's over there flagging Taylor and we're in the it's like we're Dana White we're in the section of all sections right and they're like no phones and he's like oh my bad and I'm like shit my bad Taylor about 30 seconds later I see Shannon and I'm about from like me to you JP I see Shannon pull out the phone she makes it like a minute and she's standing right next to Dana female watching man she finally gets flagged and then I see like Dana like whisper something and I'm like she looks like she's fine and I asked her later i'm like what he said she goes oh he goes yeah that's such a stupid rule like don't even worry about it sweetheart or something i'm like so we uh we do that whole run dana and us we leave we have a flight the next morning we go to san diego i think because of all the hustle and bustle sunday night once we got settled i ended up getting like kind of like fevers and like uh chills and i was sick for two days and then we had a blast san diego is one of the best spot if If it wasn't for the taxes, I'd live there tomorrow. 100%. We had a good car, so we were just driving up and down the coastline. Yeah, BMW 450i. Matt sent me the photo. He was like, bro, I'm so salty that I'm not in the whip right now. I was like, dude, chill. Stop pocket watching. In the backseat? I haven't said that at all, bro. That was never a thing. I will say this was my first time. He said, damn, look at my guy. That was my first time ever using the app, Turo. And Turo's great. If you need to rent a car. It is so goaded, dude. I literally rented the car as we were taking off from Vegas, and it was ready for us to pick up outside the airport within an hour. So it was an awesome time. We had a fun car, you know, driving around San Diego with nice weather and a convertible with your girlfriend. Can't beat that. Awesome food. Continued the Mexican food streak. Went to this place called the Taco Stand. If you're ever in San Diego, definitely try it out. It's unbelievable. You know Mexican food is going to be good when you walk in and they speak zero english um and you just start pointing to stuff you're like you know you start having an accent out of nowhere and like but uh we had a good time she has some friends that live there really just like enjoyed the scenery we had an unreal airbnb that slept 12 people but it was just we have to save that what we have oh yeah on gary's birthday i was facetiming him and i like walked him through the whole place but it could sleep 12 people it had a private drive like all the way you're so secluded you know pool hot tub grill it like could sleep 12 but didn't look like it no but it also looked like it'd be comfortable for you could you could sleep eight people 16 if you wanted to uncomfortably but it was just the b&b dude driving into this private drive that's vacation doesn't deserve a yes sir but yeah san diego has my full stamp of approval i've only been there once when i was a kid and jp was like you're the only thing you're gonna be upset about is leaving yep and uh he was couldn't be more spot on i we had such a good time i wish i could spend more time there and then i wasn't sick and then i came back and then got sick again so i think just all the traveling knocked me down a peg but yeah like g's saying it's about to be lock-in central once billy strings is over and i'm sick one more time what was the uh how was that taco spot because we had a we didn't talk about it when we were in san fran but la taqueria was i'd say i'd put la taqueria above the taco stand but there was something about i'd really never dove into california burritos like the french fries like i think i've had one maybe but it's never been like top of my list shannon me split one i got some tacos and it's just like i think it all boils down to the protein it's how well prepared the protein is and it's like the steak was just felt so fresh and like steak yeah it felt like steak that's how it was at the lataka ria place like you could taste like almost the grill like seriously from it being cooked that place was so good by the way also i think the taco was better yeah san diego is littered with good food i mean you just throw a rock and you're gonna hit a good food spot and the seals are so epic yeah we stayed really we were like five minutes away from where those lion or the yeah lion seals yeah sea lions uh and they just hang out there they're so funny to be bro they started moving around they started like yapping at each other it's cool so definitely need to revisit san diego at some point but um yeah i gotta get there yeah i'm trying to go back especially with brook you're about to move to charleston bro yeah you just went on a beach run yeah we uh brook and i went to charleston my aunt uh shout out beth shout out beth um she's got a place on Daniel's Island out there. Is she the one who's a professor? Yeah. Yeah. Y'all met her. Yeah, we met at Carolina. She's got a place on Daniel's Island out there, just like a little townhome, but it is like the most perfect spot. Like the vibe out there, I texted, Brooke and I went to a sushi spot that I think Sitton may have recommended. Maybe, yeah. I had never been there, but Sitton, she probably did. Texted JP like, out here expanding my palate and literally like, this is the one, this is the place that I could live. It is like the vibe out there. Everything was so clean. And Beth was saying like they're doing a bunch of construction and stuff. But the way they do it is like kind of discreet enough that it's not like downtown Nashville where you just see a fucking crane. And it's like this place. It's like dirty just construction. Yeah. The vibes out there were like each day Brooke and I just went to a different neighborhood and just like big houses and just drove around. That is a shout out. No free shout out for me. It's just driving and looking at big houses. It's like there's something about that. It's like window shopping. You go down to Brentwood and drive through some of those neighborhoods. There's some freaking. What's the street? Kind of by Harpeth. Chickering. Yes. Yeah. I need to check that out. There's some nice houses. By the steps and like the park you can run at. No, the with the golf course, Harpeth Hills. Yeah. So if you take a right right before Harpeth Hills that goes down the side of it. Yes, it would lead you to there. And there's some. Yes, yes, yes, yes. but yeah i mean like we went to like this one neighborhood it looked like venice italy because there were like just like little not uh like river streams kind of thing going through yeah but it was it was awesome and just being able to like go out there and relax for a couple days like the weather was good enough to where you it would be cold cold in the sun or in the shade but like yeah like it in the charleston's awesome i love charleston i haven't been there in a in a while but it's a it's a vibe we weren't able to hit up any beaches or anything because it's like too cold too but we were able to meet up with one of my buddies from college who lives out there and saw him and like he was saying like the history of charleston is insane like it is yeah who landed there uh i know blackbeard he said there's a liquor store there that like the the lore around behind it is that blackbeard used to go there and like hang out around there but he was saying Yes. It's like the oldest thing in the liquor store. That's fake as hell. What were you laughing about over there before? What were you laughing about? Hold on. Sorry, Mitch. I'm trying to talk, and I'm like, I guess my story's not interesting. I drive by big houses, too. I do that for fun, but then I pull in my driveway. Okay. Wait, your parents' driveway? Mitch, go ahead and continue. That's insane. You're sorry, man. Sorry. But what was I saying? Charleston's like the second most history, historically preserved city in the world behind the Vatican, which is like insane to think about. And can you shut the fuck up? Is the Vatican a country? Yeah, it's its own country. The Vatican? Oh, no. I'm talking about the Vatican. that whole area is like it's the smallest country in the world do you want to just take over the pod man no man my dog died during break we don't have to talk about it damn bro don't flip it on I was trying to feel bad for you now it's like the fifth time he said that this week guys so if we have a cold reaction that's why he's been using it damn I don't feel bad anymore now wait Charleston was sick I do want to I want to go to Charleston like when it's warm and do all the stuff because when I was down there it was before covid so it has been a long time but they do a um i think it's on wednesday nights like there's on one of the beaches there's like a live music at the wind jammer maybe i don't know shims creek is that what it's called yeah yeah shim creek that's actually where we met my buddy and uh that place is cool they were saying like outer banks and stuff was shot right there so like we kind of we tried to go see some of the outer banks like shooting places um but they were I think it was Aunt Beth she was saying, I think it's once a month they'll have what's called a golden hour at the beach. There's all golden retrievers. Everybody just goes there and just take their golden retrievers and just hang out for an evening. One of the neighborhoods we were walking through, there was like a dog happy hour happening there too, and everybody down there was so nice. We would just walk to the happy hour the first night we were there, and people that we were just walking by were like, hey, how's it going? That's cool. it's like oh shit this is a lot different hey oriel but yeah i just remember i texted jp i'm like this place is sick yeah yeah dude fourth like summer in charleston growing up when you're in college and going visiting fourth july was so epic there's this place called morris island that basically everybody around our age in college maybe just out of college will go to and one of these times it's hard to get out there because you obviously got to take a boat when you're in college not a bunch of your friends have boats so you got to fight for your spot but we were out there one time and it was our first time so excited already having the best day and game cock legend devin taylor he's played d line for us played on the opposite side of clowny but played for the lions for a little bit he comes rolling up he's from the low country in this massive boat and i'm like tap on my friends like yo devin taylor demir bird are pulling up he's like i don't know how to park this shit what and you know some people are like waving him down like take off the gas whatever he basically just like rolls right on up to the island and uh one of my friends that was friends with demir bird they're like jp come up here i'm like oh snap i'm up there on devin taylor's boat like daffing him up fanboy and heavy they probably couldn't stay in me but it would dude it was so fun the way like they also they call it like the low country yeah and also i was listening to like little radio and they call it chuck town too i think that's just what's is low country pretty self-explanatory yeah okay and then like another name for charles is chuck so i'm like that's kind of that's kind of dope chuck town chuck town bound that's what everybody put on their snapchat stories back in 2013 damn how was that you were you were in two spots you were a lot of spots yeah i was in dallas then to nashville then to naples but Dallas was awesome. Got to meet up with my boy, Dennis Shapovalov. Shout out, Dennis. Shout out, Dennis. He had a nice little run, made it to the semifinals. But it's always cool because he was the first pro athlete that I ever got to work with when I was at IMG. And that was in 2019. I believe he was probably 19 at the time. And so I just have like a special place in my heart for my friendship with Dennis and the fact that it's lasted from 2019 to now. to see him go on in his career and do well, to have my stuff grow, and then for us to still be able to work together is always like a really cool moment because that's a pre-Busson friendship and relationship that has helped me out so much. So to go to a tournament, be a part of the behind the scenes, especially as a big tennis fan, to be a part of the team for a week was really cool. You see Fritz walking around, Ben Shelton, all the guys that I watch on TV each week and see how they work how they train what it's what the schedule's like that was awesome it was a kind of like a work week but it's fun to get back out there and like make creative edits take some photos yeah get the creative juices back flowing in the brain and then i went to my brother had his bachelor party in Naples but it was just me him and my dad And we went to the beach one day went on his, I guess my future sister-in-law's dad's boat for a little bit. Weather was perfect in Naples, food was awesome, and got a little bit of a sunburn. So that was, we'll be back in two weeks. First one of the year. And we'll be back in two to three weeks for the wedding. That'll be sick. It's going to be fun. They're throwing the form square ball up. Is that our cue? Yeah, should we get into the B team? How long have we been going? Probably a while. Solid, yeah. We can bring them up. Do we just roast them behind their backs? We could. I mean, yeah, I guess we could ask them. And then if nobody wants to face the music. Should we get Coop up here? Yeah, we definitely need Coop. Coop will definitely come up. Yeah. Hey, Coop. Do you have a minute? All right. Hey, Jared. You have a minute? No. He said no one sec. Two of the guys should come up here, chat about what happened. Hey, actually, I have someone. All right, we'll come up here with them. He said no one sec. I don't know if y'all remember the episode before we went to the Super Bowl. The episode before we went to the Super Bowl, we said that we were going to record one while we were out there. And then the guys that stayed back and didn't go to the Super Bowl, we said that they were going to record. Obviously, you guys saw ours. No one sec is also hilarious. I want to see. Are you back? Oh, wait, hold on. Close the door. Clumpy. Let's go. We were just talking about you 50 minutes ago. Clumpinator. You can go to that. Yeah. Usually, if you close one with a. One sec. What's up, boys? What's up, G? This is a squad right here. I feel like there's something up because Jared's saying, hold on. Matt's mic. Take that mic from Matt. No, you don't need to. Keep Matt's mic. Nope. I don't. Come in here and just say nothing. I don't want to perjure myself. I have met with legal guidance. Klump will be representing me in this case. Klump, take it away. So what questions do you have, boys? damn you just leaving i can answer i can answer why uh damn that's so sad how much do you know that's soft my client has told me don't do this shit yeah don't do this shit because you said in our group chat turn his there needs to be an episode of inside i did find out a wrinkle of why they didn't record they did record though on zoom on zoom okay say some bullshit that we took their equipment i was told there was no equipment to record when they came up here i think the studio was not set up i think uh jared has a podcast of his own does jared do a podcast is he not a producer for our gambling show does that mean he they just so if the equipment's not here for us we just don't have to work that's what i'm hearing i think if we don't have equipment we don't need to work in my client's defense i think it should have been set up for him how much is your client paying that is the biggest sack of bullshit I have ever heard so the guys who are producing shows here for us should have the guys who are working for a whole week in San Francisco make sure that they're spoon fed and can do their work so that we unless I'm confusing where this is going hold on hold on I feel confident because in Jared's fence is our head of house. Jared worked very hard during Super Bowl week. Jared worked very, very hard during Super Bowl week and the off week as well. Shout out to Jared. We're not saying he didn't work hard. What I'm saying is my client did not have a capable recording studio to walk into and he had other work to do so he didn't have the time. He was on the clock for Bussin to Was Jared the only one that worked last week? Well, I'm saying I'm representing my client. He was grinding. We're not discrediting that. How many people did you hire recently? Again, my client is Jared. What's it say? Your family stick to the plan. As I said, I'm on retainer. I'm so mad I laughed at that. My client is, if there's one person who deserves no blame, it's my client, Jared Beeman. So I want that to be known. If there's other people you want to bring up in question, that's on you guys. Who do you think we should bring up to question based off what your client has told you? Have you brought up Chef yet? We have not. I think Chef should be the next one to be brought up. He's not my client. He's not paid the retainer. I also just want to, like, where I'm confused is the frustration that you showed that there was no episode put out last week. We have it in writing. I did not get perfect information on that nothing was set up. That's why I was confused on why they didn't record. If we're being honest and candid, that is bullshit. Because those, the tripods that these cameras were on were downstairs. Some people, the information I was given by my client, it was not set up and suitable to record in. And that's why they did Zoom. I still think they should have released the Zoom. I'm just going to, we're going to move on because I'm going to say things that. The Zoom should have went out. Were my words. We should have released an episode. Coop, welcome back, dude Coop, good luck The more you're here, the more we're going to say stuff that we don't want to say I stand by my client I stand by my client, Jared Beeman I believe it should have been set up for him Is that what y'all were glazing each other all day yesterday about? This is a setup against Jared No, we're questioning everyone We're grateful that Jared was grinding We'll just cut all that I support Jared Beeman Alright, and cut When are our end of year reviews? And can they be done on the podcast? So how was... No, first off. First off. Is this one on? Yeah. First off. Dude, it's good to see you. It's good to see you, bro. We missed you a lot. Mr. Versatility right here. I'm telling you. If you had one job... I'm kind of nervous right now. No, no, no. You're more nervous than I was. That diffused everything. You're good. We're Team Coop also. Yeah. All Team Coop. How are vibes? You had them boys in orange. Yeah. We just want to know about the week. I tried, you know, Mitch asked me this the other day, and it's going to be so boring because, like, legit, it was just, like, really nothing special happened besides, you know. The files. The unreleased files, which. What does it say? So now they want to be paid for the work that they get paid to do. Next sign that comes up, just ignore it. Unless it's funny. Yeah, unless, yeah, true. unless they take another person hostage. But speaking of the orange, I will shout out Derek for that. You know, I wasn't going to remind everybody Sunday coming in your orange. I want to see who remembered. Right, you shouldn't have to remind myself. Love that. Wait, did everyone wear their individual orange to work or did y'all go to Walmart and buy orange t-shirts? That came later. So when we recorded the file, that was not Monday. That was, I think, Wednesday or Tuesday. but Monday I wanted everybody to show up in orange, you know, I show up in orange and I think the only other two were, I think Ryan showed up in orange and then Sherm kind of cobbled together some orange from the shop. Bounce some orange around. Yeah. But like, you know, that's, that's more than just being like, Oh yeah. Matt. Oh, damn. Nah. Damn. Anyway, the orange shirt thing, I'll shout out Derek. Hey, man. Damn, this is time. Who carries the office in these weeks? Or is it just pretty quiet? It was pretty quiet. I mean, I don't know what Matt said already. He hasn't said much. Yeah, he really hasn't said much. Good. Actually, yeah, anything. Coop said good. But Derek went to Walmart and bought a little tiny bulk pack of the orange shirts so that we could get dialed for the Zoom that we thought was going to be funny. for the file. I really want, I want y'all, I don't want y'all to see, I want y'all to see the Superfly because it is funny. So it isn't deleted. Apparently it's unfindable. Yeah, see, I don't know about that. I don't have my hands in that jar. You're just talent. Yeah, I'm just talent. I'll give Matt, to Matt's credit, when we all kind of realized this was a train wreck, I think I said it on the episode, like we're not releasing this. And I kept fucking around with my background. That's why you had the, Celtic Shack. That's how I felt recording the pod. I was like, we're washed. That's why I put that on there. We actually shouted out Celtic Shack in this episode. Really? Episode 36. Matt tried to bring us all up. Matt tried to save it. It was unsavable. He's been climbing his way up in the rankings. Was there someone that was derailing it, or was it just kind of not good chemistry? It's got to be hard on Zoom, too. We'll give you that credit. The Zoom idea was funny in theory, and then we all kind of dispersed and got on Zoom, and it's like... Should have game planned it better. Should have game planned it better. I don't want to... I might be the one to blame because we said on episode... I guess it was 34. 34. And y'all directly told me, hey, y'all should get an episode recorded. But like... That's good accountability. It kind of falls on me. I texted Mitch during the episode. I'm like, hey, man, I got bad news. Yeah. I was like, this episode ain't going out. Yeah. But then you said we're going to record later. So I'm like, all right. And then we were going to record later. That falls on all of us, kind of. And then we were going to record Monday when Bryce was in. With Bryce, too. Then we did it. I will say the one video you all made of the wheel and he was in charge. That was funny. That was funny. That was actually pretty good. Maybe Sherm's best performance yet. Yeah. That was another credit to Derek. That look away grin is all time funny. It's his new contact photo for me. Do we give them another chance to record an episode next week? Yes. I think so. We'll have the mics. We'll have them set up. We'll avoid that. I'm done doing that. No, no. Just so y'all, there's an episode out. I thought I was hopping back in the trenches. Yeah, redemption episode. if you guys want to set it up and provide the silver spoon you can I will not be participating in that I know it's already probably been talked about but I don't know any of this stuff I do graphics but they're like none of the equipment's here which I did on zoom and I was like alright and then I guess you can still get it done on zoom but we just didn't so I really don't know no excuses from us there No chemistry No heart Would you guys want another Matt showed heart though Yeah there you go I think Matt wants an opportunity Matt just wants any time To be on camera Hey we're We're 37 episodes in Like we earned This is chemistry we've earned Amen We didn't have it That's true We didn't have it I bet if we went back And looked at episode one It wouldn't be This smooth And Coop's a unique piece Because he's a part of This game is a part of the other team. Wait, say that again? Is that good or bad? No, it's a great game. You're a unique piece because you're a part of this team and you're a part of the other team. On the middle of the game. That's why I didn't like you saying B-team. That's why I didn't like you saying B-team. It's endearment. Maybe we should leave it up to the comments. If they want a B-team episode, give them another shot. They were all over their Instagram post. They were. Drop the files, man. And then it felt like an even bigger burden for me because I had like five different comments tagging me like, release it. I was like, fuck, they watched the last episode. They knew I was in charge. That's funny. Well, it sounds like we have some unfinished business. We should release the screenshots that Matt took of us in orange just to give him a taste of what it looked like. Honestly, I need that. I think there's a shot for it. I think so too. And we can make all of this. We can all come together as one. And then maybe y'all can interview a couple of us. Can we do an A-team and B-team episode before we're all piled in here? It's loading for sure. I don't know if we have enough equipment. Not enough equipment. Share mics. Yeah. Well, we need to see a B-team episode first to make sure that that chemistry would work on camera. I hope it's out. Y'all can see it if it's not really gone. How long is it? Do you know? I bet it was like 30 minutes. Watch, it's like three hours. I don't know. Three hours. I was pulling up Chachi Gutierrez questions trying to stir them off. But then Matt would cut people off and be like, that's a bad answer. That's a bad answer. That sounds about right. He was cutting off my story about being a Charleston. His dog died, Mitch. I think one of the questions was like, what would y'all want to be on for Halloween? Hey, you're really moving up. Dude, it's February. Just like that. I said if you could wear one Halloween costume every day for the rest of your life. Okay. What would it be? That's a good question. What would yours be? Mine was... Ferta? Probably some extremely handsome, like rich guy. What were you doing? You were on something this Halloween. He didn't want to wear that afro. He was like a disco show. He didn't want to wear that afro for the disco fit. That's what he was. Well, no, I always wanted to be John Travolta, which he is a handsome cab, but I really like Saturday Night Fever. And I wanted to be a disco guy. I wanted to wear bell bottoms. The afro is chopped. It's like, this is disco. I know, my fault. Now you're just dressed up with a button down with three extra buttons. With some flares. I saw him that night, too. He was active. Feel good? Feel great. Let us know in the comments if you want to see a B-team episode. And if you want to see a B-team and A-team combined after the B-team solo. Check it out. And we will see y'all. possibly next week. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall.
