The elephant in the room… Jack is officially on his honeymoon, so Adam called in a substitute from the bullpen: fellow football junkie and Gridiron Spice Company co-founder, David Myers.

David makes his 4th & Ward debut, sharing his football journey from California Pop Warner and CIF championships to playing and coaching at Tabor College in Kansas. The guys swap hilarious stories from their days as players and graduate assistants, including bush league moments, flooded dorms, mattress jousting disasters, sketchy hotels, random side jobs, and the reality of grinding through college football for next to no money.

The episode also dives into the origin story of Gridiron Spice Company and how two football-loving friends turned late-night porch conversations into a business built around food, football, and friendship.

If you've ever been part of a football program, you'll relate to the chaos, camaraderie, and stories that prove you truly can't make this stuff up.

Summer is officially here, and the boys have stories to prove it. Adam recaps a trip to the Texas baseball state semifinals, a legendary stop at Babe’s Chicken, and a family road trip bathroom emergency that nearly ended in disaster. Jack gives an update on his first week as a defensive coordinator and the countdown to wedding day hitting single digits.

The guys answer a listener question about coaching careers, moving states, and whether Texas is in Jack’s future. They also dive into a passionate discussion about the good, the bad, and the downright ridiculous parts of modern 7-on-7 football culture.

Plus, the official launch of Jimmys & Joes, the new community-driven recruiting database on 4th & Ward, where players can submit film and fans can help evaluate prospects. The episode wraps up with more entries into the popular Drip or Drown high school uniform database.
