0:00 How was uh tell us about the games though, dude? It was it was it was a lot of fun. However, there's some question marks I have on Josh Pate.

0:07 I had to which I hate to say. My god. Here's the deal, too, is like Josh has been nut there's been green flags all the way. Like, we're far enough along to where it's like, damn, I can't believe we found like a red flag

0:19 at this point. And that red flag came at 2:00 in the morning when we were shuttling to our hotel after the Fiesta Bowl. So, we land, we go to the Miami, the Miami Old Miss game, which by the way, that Miami Old Miss game was incredible. If you guys listen to our football recap show that came out yesterday with Greg, we talk a little college ball on the back end. Uh, so check that out. But watching that game, getting to see it in person, and like every few seconds, I'm just nudging JP. I'm like, look at those boys on the Miami's offensive line. JP gets me. We're trying to put in a food order, try to have some food lined up for when when we fly to Atlanta. But so going in and planning out this trip, it was we had to hit the game in Arizona and then fly out right after because Josh Pate was going to be doing ESPN. He was on First Take. He was on Get Up. He was going to do it or he had to do it from

1:05 the site of the Peach Bowl of from Atlanta. So the the plan was always to okay, we're going to fly out after the uh the Arizona game, just take a late flight, land at like 2 3 in the morning in Atlanta. We're just going to have to eat that because the boy Josh, he needs to do his big hits on ESPN. Dude's been he's been becoming a star right in front of our eyes as he should. The dude is a beast. He's a stud. He is the commissioner of college football. And um so it was like, "Oh man, it kind of sucks that we can't just stay in Arizona, sleep in, get some good breakfast, like catch the vibes." Like the weather out there in Arizona, you're walking around it like as you're going to Vegas, but we're walking around it like before we go into the game and we're just like, man, it just it just feels so right being out here. It's cleaner. It's greener. You have all It just felt so good and felt so right.

1:52 And uh greener as in like healthier. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You felt healthy walking around. You're just like, "Man,

1:57 it's a healthy state." You're like, "Man, it's just nice being out here." But we can't we can't after the game just go hit a hotel cuz the game the next day, the Peach Bowl in Atlanta is not until 7:00 at night, Eastern time.

2:09 Could have got zips, too. We did have actually the trip planned originally. We booked the flight. We were staying in Arizona. that had to get changed because Josh needed to go to Atlanta

2:19 again. He had to be there on site at the Peach Bowl. Stadium, he had to be there. They wanted him on site with the backdrop and everything else.

2:26 When I when I saw what you're about to say, I weren't even with you guys and I was heated.

2:31 Oh, buddy. Go ahead. We land and we get in the shuttle to rip over to the hotel in Atlanta. And again, you just This is what we signed up for. This Hey, we're road dogging it right now. We're road dog. We're ready to go. taking we're flying nice but we're we're eating it as far as like sleep because we had ESPN the day before it's like when we fly out on that flight it's like 8 8:30 9:00 at night we land we only get 4 hours of sleep before we do get up in the morning but I've just been up we've been up all day long

2:59 and so it's 2:30 in the morning like the next day now we're flying to another crossing a couple time zones we land and we're in the shuttle and all of a sudden I don't know what happens I'm kind of just like sitting there JP and I might be we might be slap happy over a couple things we're kind of sitting there I hear clump ask a question. Then I hear Josh essentially say like, "Oh, no." Like they switched it. Like I'm just going to be zooming in from my hotel. I say, "Oh, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on."

3:25 And also, when Will says, "Hold on, hold on." He's still looking out the window. He's just like this. He's like, "Hold on, hold on, hold on." Hold on. Repeat that for me again. You don't You don't have to be at the stadium for your for ESPN. He's like, "No, I'm just going to be zooming in from my hotel room." And I was like, "When did you learn this information?" And you know, because we all we're all like kind of like laughing now knowing this bomb that he's just dropping on us. And he's like, "He knew the information like in the airplane flying to Arizona."

4:01 And I'm thinking, "Buddy, we could have switched we could have switched the operations or we could have slept in Arizona." Yeah. like all these fantasies that we had about sleeping in. Again, we're not in a rush. We We don't have to be at the Peach Bowl 14 hours ahead of time anymore. Why are you keeping this information in on us? And we're all laughing and it's I can't even remember at that point. It's so late in the night and we're just trying to get to the hotel and everything else. But I'm thinking, buddy, why in the hell would you not share that with the squad? We could have we could have slept in. We could have had good Oh,

4:35 and could have had zips. That's all that that's could have had zips, dude. And who's the first face we see the next morning when we go down to the lobby on that big

4:44 P on first take arguing with a you know Stephen A Cam Newton RC. He and RC had some chemistry though.

4:52 Him and RC had some good chemistry. They had some good chemistry talking about the SEC. Yeah.

4:56 And how it's fallen and everything that's inside of the SEC talk. But I'm looking at him, seeing him zoomed in from that [ __ ] hotel room across the street, just thinking like, man, we could have we could have [sighs and gasps] I I don't know. I don't know.

5:12 The clip of Will watching the TV when he comes to the camera is over five minutes long.

5:18 Hate watching him on ESPN, bro. That breaks my heart for you because I was the whole week. I'm talking to Clump like that's just crazy. They don't just stay there. And why does he have to be on the field? I don't understand that at all.

5:29 Again, I after they hey, if that's what they wanted and ESPN wanted to be from the stadium, we're eating that% that was never you. If we're if we're all homies and you're you were going to help your career and like this is an opportunity to help your career and this is what they want for your career to go up,

5:45 we will always lean on the let's help our boy out for his career. Help our boy, man. Let's get in the foxhole with him.

5:51 But there's got to be communication. And if you don't have it, what do you have? If you don't have communication in relationship, you've got nothing.

5:59 How do you essentially Titanic going in an ice? What did you ask him, Clump when that when that bomb dropped?

6:04 Weird. It was like a quiet ride. So, I just look at him like, "Hey, what what time you got to be at the stadium tomorrow?" And he kind of started stumbling over his words. I don't even think he wanted to fully say it. And then he's like, "Uh, I actually don't have to be there tomorrow." And then it just

6:17 And to JP's point, I'm like, I'm looking at the other side, but I'm just sitting there. I was like, "Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on." He says, "JP, get the camera."

6:28 Josh is like, "Oh, what breaks my heart is you guys lit I I've said three times you could have had zips." And that just

6:36 that just to me is like, bro, could you imagine watching the Fiesta Bowl, Miss Miami down to the wire, Trinidad Chamblas last second could have been a penalty, could not have been a penalty. And it's like, what a crazy game. Let's go have the greatest bar meal of our entire lives and talk about it only to go to a hotel, relax in a bed, know you're going to get a full 8 hours, wake up well rested for the next game. [snorts]

6:59 Hey, and that was another issue is we had to leave the game early because the game again, four lead changes in the fourth quarter. Four lead changes in the fourth quarter, but Clump's like, "Hey, if we're going to get out of here, there's 20 to 30 planes trying to get out after the game. We could be sitting on the runway for a long time to where we could be landing at, let's just say four or five in the morning in Atlanta. So, we're all communicating and decided, okay, we're gonna have to step out of this amazing game that's taking place just to sit on the runway and we're taking off. And the last few plays, if there's like maybe 20 seconds left for the sake of this story, the last play, what does the phone do, Will?

7:36 [snorts] Freezes. Freezes on the last play. And we're sitting there as we're taking off like, man, we're not we're not witnessing this. We're going to have to be surprised whenever we get connected to Wi-Fi and figure out who wins and who loses. But we would have gotten to stay if we're not taking off from Arizona

7:51 and had zips. And to your point about we probably would had zips that night. What do you mean

7:56 we could have could have [clears throat] could have the reason why we might not have been able to is because we didn't break bread with Josh one time over this weekend.

8:05 Oh, don't right. Not once, man. We just wanted a meal with him and the best we could get was some sushi on the plane. loud. No internet.

8:14 No breakfast the next day. No breakfast the next day. Listen, no pregame meal. And Josh when he was like, "Hey, the fall don't tour. The fall don't lie tour.

8:23 Let's roll together." And I, you know, I'm telling I'm like, "Hey, if I'm just meeting you in Atlanta, cuz I don't know if I'll be able to work. There's no point in me getting a plane and going to Arizona. Like, I won't be able to work. Me flying to Atlanta by myself to meet you. If you're going commercial to fly to Arizona, I'm not just going to meet you in Atlanta to see one game. Like, I'll just watch it at the house." I'm like, I'm thinking we're roll we're road dogging this together.

8:44 We fly together, we eat together, we sleep together, we bathe together, wash each other's back, we get in the foxhole. And he's like, "That was a test. You pass." So this trip comes alive

8:55 to like travel and do all this stuff. Bro, he ain't eat with us. Not one time. Not one time.

9:02 He ain't sit with us. Not one time. I I hate that I'm asking this question. Oh no. Did you

9:12 Is Josh Pay a selfish friend? NO. NO. NO. I'M JUST ASKING. I'M JUST ASKING. He's not.

9:18 No, he's not. He's a great friend. What I just heard is what I just heard is way different than what a unselfish friend would do. I So, I'm just asking the question

9:29 like didn't break bread. Couldn't grab a coffee in the morning. Couldn't [clears throat] sit there and just chop it up with the boys. Oh, not my boy Josh.

9:41 In his defense, I give him a defense on the sitting with this part. He had his wife Savannah. Savannah rocks. Tyler, he had Tyler with him. Tyler Rips. They just had press box seats. [sighs and gasps] But he, as we're walking into the Fiesta Bowl, he's like, I got to go down here to this gate. We had his credential to see him on the field pregame. And again, we were it was getting tight. It was getting tight the window that we had pregame. So, we weren't even going to be on the field that long. But he's like, "I'm going to go get them set up and then I'm going to meet you guys." But then we didn't hear a word from him until it was like, "Hey, we're deciding to fly out early." And then we just saw him on the plane. So if I'm in his shoes, maybe he wanted to sit with his wife and Tyler and everything else. That's totally fine. But it comes back to what, man?

10:22 And the word starts communication. Communication and and but here's the deal. You bring up the wife and it's like, I get it. Like you got buddies who's got to like handle Savannah can hang. She can chill. She's like, she's one of the girls that can hang out with the boys.

10:37 Oh, for sure. He's talking about like when they're up in the press box. Oh, yeah. Talking about the press. And it's like in my mind it's like that's that's on P just not asking the question. Hey, so what do you guys want to do? And then kind of putting it on like, hey, we came with these guys just so we all know like let's just communicate and it just falls on P. I love him. Listen, I love him. I love them.

10:58 That's our I know. That's why I'm asking this question. Is Josh for the boys? Is Josh for the boys?

11:04 I hate that that's even a question. He unquestionably is for the boys. Two Josh's

11:11 He's unquestionably for the boys. But hold on. Hey. Hey. Hey. I get it. And I love I wish I could sit there and be like, you're there's no doubt about that. There's no doubt that Josh P is for the boys. But the story you just told me tells me there can be even if it is just a sliver of doubt if he is for the boys and I'm

11:35 this is a guy that I know is undoubtedly for the boys and we can just learn from what happened

11:40 cuz also in his defense when it came to the food we did only eat one meal that whole trip.

11:47 So really he just didn't come to breakfast. We didn't eat lunch. We had dinner at the stadium. We ordered it to the hotel go out.

11:56 Yeah. Like we weren't like, "Hey, you trying to grab a bite to eat?" Nothing like that. And when we got breakfast, like you guys are kind of giving out new pieces of information.

12:02 We don't want to give out the information. You guys had one meal. We went and got breakfast while he was doing ESPN.

12:08 48 hour trip. We had a hate breakfast. Yeah. You guys had one meal and you want to come on the bus and be like, "He didn't break bread with us. He didn't sit with us." And you got me in a corner being like, "Is he for the boys?" You're like, I can't believe you. To be fair, we had breakfast.

12:24 Josh probably hate. If you're getting just the information I'm getting, I'm thinking to myself, godamn hate.

12:28 Yeah, there's probably three or four times you could have sat down and broke bread with the boys. I'm thinking of a coffee break. I'm thinking of a brunch. I'm thinking of a late meal before we

12:36 worked out with us. He didn't work out with us. So, y'all worked out. We worked out, but we also didn't offer him.

12:42 We Yeah, but at that point, we were we were protesting. Are we at that point? We was protesting. Do we need a question if and I'll put myself in it cuz I'm a part of the boy. Are we for the boys?

12:52 Oh, we're for the boys. Did we not get our candy asses on that flight to fly in at uh 2:30 in the morning in Atlanta? We're for the boys.

12:59 We just wish we would have understood that information. Like, did Josh have to wake up early and grind it out on ESPN while we slept in? Yeah,

13:07 you should have had to. One part of that story that we need to set the record straight is we wouldn't have been able to get to Atlanta if we left the whole game. We had to leave because the the way the hours worked, we would have had to land in Dallas. So that's why we had to leave the game early. So it was only because we had to go to Atlanta.

13:22 Yeah. But you could have sat and had zips. Could have had zips. And Zips. What does Zips do?

13:27 Rips. Rips. It sets the tone. It causes all of you to break bread together. And you guys now get to be the friend that I was to you guys driving to Zips being like, I'm just telling you, man, you're about to have a great meal. You're going to love it. It's the perfect post playoff game meal to have. It would have changed the trajectory of the whole trip.

13:44 Yeah. Yeah. And when I was saying we wouldn't had zips that night, I was thinking more of like a lunch the next day.

13:49 Not like don't have zips at all because we're stepping foot in Arizona. Yeah. Yeah. Fair. That's fair.

13:53 We're talking two times, not just one. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm with you. I'm with you.

13:57 Yeah. But maybe now that all the information is out, maybe it's a little cleaner.

14:01 Yeah. Next time, let's do our best to start with the information. Yeah. But that doesn't make that doesn't make for a good story. Maybe don't jump to conclusions so fast.

14:10 The office now. We had plenty more info to give you. Tune in on the locker room this Wednesday.

14:16 Man, that's Josh P. I almost wish you guys didn't tell me the last part about only one time breaking bread. So, I I would go in the locker room with a completely different mindset.

14:24 I know. But once you start saying that questioning, you know, like, oh, maybe we got to give a little bit more information. But listen,

14:30 if that is all the information you gave me and it was just wasn't just the one. It wasn't the the like

14:36 the first part of the story you gave me, it is pretty easy to sit there and be like there's doubt that can creep in. Is he for the boys?

14:43 Is he a selfish friend? When he hit the don't have to be there, I'm zooming in from my hotel room at at 2:30. I was like, "Oh,
