Recorded: July 15th 2024 | On this week's episode the boys are joined by fellow boy and friend of the show, Minnesota Vikings tight end, TJ Hockenson. The Boys start off discussing last weekend's wild turn of events. Including, the assassination attempt towards former president Donald Trump. They give their thoughts on what happened in Butler, Pa. how it could have been better handled, and the potential trajectory of American politics. The Boys then take a sharp turn and talk all things football. First, TJ discusses his knee injury he had at the end of last season. How his road to recovery has been, and ways to fight off negative thought cycles. T.J. then discusses the differences between all the QB's he's played with. Matthew Stafford, Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff, and Josh Dobbs to name a few. Finally, Will and Taylor ask about T.J.'s mindset for 2024. Does he have any bitterness towards the Lions for trading him? What happened with the Vikings last season and the frustrations that went along with it?
