If Daniel doesnt release a “Bewmah Sewnah” shirt ill be disappointed 🤣
On it!
I know, I like it!
It is already out for over a month almost 2. I have a picture of 1 on my phone. A black hoody with 75 above the words BEWMEH SOONEH
DA needs to get his own podcast. 😂😂 Dude's hilarious!
He has a channel! Just search Daniel Akinkunmi
That was your best pod yet.. have him on again please.
Crumpets. Boomuh Soonuh!😂
Nick said Shit! I spit my beer!!!! My absolute favorite interview on platform!!!!!!
Top notch episode the energy was great. Also so glad he chose us we are gonna need him, He's gonna end up a beast!
lol I love this. OL never get the limelight.
I love this dude. Daniel is absolutely hilarious. As a fan It's awesome to get the opportunity to know who you guys are outside of football.
One of my favorite episodes so far! And the premium gas is just higher octane
This is the best podcast so far. Daniel is awesome. He needs a podcast.
So excited to have you Daniel! I know with your attitude, energy and faith you will do great things in Norman. Cheers❤️
If he wants the country accent send him to Tahlequah lol
YES YALL FINALLY POSTED
Hello twitter man
“CRUMPETS”
BEEWMA SEEWNUH
@@SmallGameBoomer xanax
I enjoy all your episodes, but this was by far the best one. Daniel is fun to listen to. He seems very hungry to learn the game and master The Craft. And I think he's got a little chip on his shoulder showing that he's got a lot to prove and showing that he can not only compete but Excel against the best competition in the US..
Daniel has a big personality it’s so cool to see
Daniel my brother. Big Up
Aye dog this dude is gold haha glad to have him here in Oklahoma haha
Laughed so hard! Great episode, can't wait for the next!
Great conversation!!
Can’t wait to see my boy on the hype vid before the games yelling “Bewwmuh suunaw” 😂
Daniel is a very good interview. Getting geeked up to watch you all do your thing in the SEC this next season.
Very enjoyable episode!
Real talk. This y’all best interview. All 3 of yall had a great convo. 🧬
You three killed it! Dope!!
Crumpets! Nice pod, super stoked to have Danny on our team
"Crumpets" what a great interview! BOOMER!!
I have never laughed so much during one of your podcasts! This is def my favorite!
I laughed so much , great episode. Boomah soonah 😂
Great debates. After all of that it comes down to football is a team game and everyone has to do their part or it doesn't work.
Great show guys! the debate on the hardest or most important position is hilarious. Daniel: its the QB bru
That’s manslaughter bro!
Best red dirt interview by far. Daniel's experience across the pond very interesting.
omg y’all have me laughin so hard at the end
Can’t wait to watch Daniel play.
Dude got a bunch of food from 711 and was surprised it messed his stomach up 😂
Crumpets? More like scrumpets! Haha. I've been a fan of Daniel since watching OV video. Really enjoy learning about him and his background. Great stuff.
Scrumpets! haha OMG Daniel is hysterical! As a life long sooner fan, I subscribed to his channel when he committed and it's awesome. His joy and energy are infectious and his sense of humor is outstanding!! This was a very fun episode and I can't wait to watch him play. He should totally do up some merch with BEWMAH SEWNAH on it with his pic and number. sbrilliant innit?
OH and one thing he can work on to get a more American accent is hitting hard consonants like T in the word mountain. It's MOUNT-in NOT MOU-UHN.
Or like pronouncing words like quick, gotta put that hard K on the end.
but none of that matters cuz I love his accent!!
Great episode! Crumpets!
😂😂😂 best one yet
Those ramps are a WORKOUT. I haven't ran up them before, but the spring game when Baker Mayfield had his statue revealed. We was a little late getting in. And the only available seats we could see was WAAAAY WAAAY in the top north east corner. We all looked at each other, nodded, and said let's go.
We also had 2 little ones with us we had to carry at times. We wasn't going to let them miss the game.
We had to jog faster than everyone else in order to get ahead and get a seat.
And BOY !!!!! Those ramps are NO Joke.
It feels like they go on forever and ever and ever.
I don't know how many ramps there are, but I started getting tired about halfway up.
But we did get our seats! It was worth it!
I feel bad now knowing you guys have to actually RUN up and down the ramps.
I remember my legs being so soar when we walked all the way back to the Loyd Nobel center where we parked.
I was super sore the next day.
Crumpets. Great job guys.
Ha! Ha! Love You guys😅
The Australian accent and Caribbean accent is the hardest one to get down.
Some times for fun. I'll order food in a drive thru in one of those accents.😂
Crumpets. Man, this was the best yet. I'm very, very impressed with this young man and I think he's going to be a special O lineman in the future!
Daniel needs to try chicken fried steak. He needs some New Orleans food as well.
"crumpets" and BOOOOOMER!
Let me calm down 😂
Crumpets! Need a sequal!
He needs his own show!
Boowmah Soownah with a crumpet.😂
Truly enjoyed this episode. Great work gentlemen. Boomer!
7-11 calls their Icee's Slurpee's.
Crumpets "yuck"
30:16 - YES!!
Need a “Bewmah Sewnah” shirt with the Union Jack inside the letters
Love this segment, fr didn’t y’all want to tell newbie UK to pump the breaks, we’ve been ballin’ our entire lives, love him though ✌🏾
Love this dude! BOOMER!
The coliseum is only 11 miles from Compton lol.
Crumpets. Keep it going
Crumpets! Boomah!
Bew-mah "bloody" Sew-nah!
Need a recurring segment, Daniel explores America
37:00 - I remember when they changed the chicken nuggets to where they only had white meat. Which aggravated me as a kid, because dark meat of chicken tastes way better than white meat.
There's also a great documentary video someone did on why the ice cream machines are always broken at McDonald's.. They're pretty much scamming every franchise owner with those machines and the specific repair technicians that they have to call who are insanely expensive.
Classic

I love this podcast this is what we want to see football driven convos… I think Daniel had some good points but QB has to be intelligent on the field
I’ve been working at the University of Arkansas recently and my GC said if we hit a student they get their tuition paid for
Oh man, I know if any of us had to drive in the UK. We would 💯 % mess up at some point. It's like a mirror universe to us too, so don't feel bad about that at all Daniel. I've actually thought about how hard it would be for me to the a turn in the UK after watching a documentary that shows people driving around in UK.
Everything just seems to go against your instincts you are used to your whole life.
Byewma sewna!
Booumah Soonah Baby
I went on vacation to Miami and they were all mad I don't do drugs cause apparently that's all they do in Miami lol
Crumpets!!
Man these 2 hosts are 6'4 and DA makes them look small 🤯🤯🤯
Wanna hear Daniel do the MK rap
34:40 - If memory doesn't fail me, I thought I saw a list showing that we were like the 17th as far as obesity. Could be wrong.
And supposedly the UK and New Zealand isn't far off from us.
Slush puppies are big on East coast
For the o-line vs qb argument I would look at the bowl game. Obviously Arnold made some rookie mistakes that nobody blames him for BUT how much of that was caused by a depleted o-line
1:19:18 had me dyin
Is shaggy going to play this year? Is he any good?
2 on 1. Not fair
Im so glad he commited hes going to ball out!!!
I think Kaden wins the argument on what he has to know on the field. But Daneil seems like a really smart dude. And Nic was cracking me up being all antsy in his seat.
Crumpets. Let’s kick ass in the SEC y’all. BOOMAH SOONAH!
Physically he is right about the oline position.
I mean, if Walter Rouse doesn’t block two people then DG doesn’t throw that TD. So saying a QBs mistakes are more costly is not necessarily always true.
Has anyone prepped him for Tornado season? 😁
Daniel is right on about McD here versus the rest of the world. Outside the US McD is so much better because they use 100% meat without any fillers.
Listening to the "fuel" conversation, i feel that one of the coaches needs to hold a class on octane levels of "gas" or "petrol"
Bro you ate dinner from a gas station in the middle of the night and you were surprised you spent 2 hours on the toilet? You're lucky you survived
😂😂😂😂
Nic gets 15 TDs this year
Very eye opening about how our food is straight poison vs food in the UK that is more healthy.
Crumpets
McDonald’s in Ireland is so much better than American Mcds

Krumpets
Just for the record. Daniel's NFL Academy team played and beat IMG Varsity. They did NOT play IMG's National team. The National team is IMG's top squad.
Booma Soona
Link Daniel’s CZcams channel please let’s get him up and going ⭕️🧬
OL > QB
Michigan just won a natty with a mid QB and a fire OL
Yall no its not really broken, its nobody likes cleaning them! They lazy as hell
Imagine if a white person said that about other girls of a minority background driving like that
What are you talking about 😑
Are you a Caucasian woman?
I mean Ou is a pwi so I’d assume most of the people driving reckless would be of white decent… nothing wrong about what was said😂
Who cares. If it's the truth, it's the truth.
Don't mirror oversensitive people that you don't like by being oversensitive yourself.
Our McDonald's and most all of the processed food is nasty. Eat Carnivore!
