- 1:23Speaker 3: it's uh.
- 1:23Speaker 4: You know what's interesting, it's uh, I would say, I
- 1:26Speaker 4: credited to TikTok. A lot of our growth, like things
- 1:30Speaker 4: all oomed off on TikTok, just some like kids. There's
- 1:33Speaker 4: like sub cultures on TikTok where there's like this drinking
- 1:37Speaker 4: culture that I wasn't aware of. But we started, like
- 1:41Speaker 4: we went from doing the flash sales on them, where
- 1:44Speaker 4: I would.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Were literally in my like fucking house in La.
- 1:47Speaker 4: I had assembly line of like five of my buddies
- 1:49Speaker 4: putting these things together like these just assembling them, roughing it.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Figuring it out and start.
- 1:58Speaker 4: And then we would do like we'd just crank out
- 2:02Speaker 4: like two thousand.
- 2:03Speaker 2: It would take us like three weeks and then they'd
- 2:05Speaker 2: sell out.
- 2:05Speaker 4: But we were I was marketing the whole time in
- 2:08Speaker 4: a discrete way, but I was just like kept doing
- 2:10Speaker 4: them on my stories.
- 2:11Speaker 2: They'd been what the fuck is that thing?
- 2:12Speaker 4: You know, And by the time we put them on sale,
- 2:15Speaker 4: they would just they would fly. So then the first
- 2:19Speaker 4: time when we started mass producing, like probably about three
- 2:22Speaker 4: four weeks into it, for whatever reason, it went from like,
- 2:25Speaker 4: you know, five three four thousand dollars a day in
- 2:28Speaker 4: sales to like just quadrupled.
- 2:31Speaker 2: And we had no idea why. It turns out like some.

- 2:44Speaker 3: It's two for his music and the choke.
- 2:47Speaker 4: It just became a thit. It just became a thing
- 2:49Speaker 4: on TikTok. And then we just when did you start
- 2:51Speaker 4: making them? We've been doing We've been producing them for
- 2:54Speaker 4: about a year, working on them. Like I acquired I
- 2:57Speaker 4: acquired this. So this kid hit me up. He was
- 3:01Speaker 4: a college kid making him in his dorm. Just had

- 8:08Speaker 3: as you and me and Will watching you. I can't
- 8:11Speaker 3: imagine what that was like in college. To start, there's
- 8:14Speaker 3: start at college for you. Take me in the beginning
- 8:17Speaker 3: you're freshmen, don't know which ways up, and then hit
- 8:20Speaker 3: me obviously the next year whin the Heisman.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, it was. It was quick man, crazy story.
- 8:26Speaker 2: I graduated early, so I got on campus, you know,
- 8:29Speaker 2: and at the beginning of January. Anybody else does when
- 8:33Speaker 2: they first get there, especially being the young guy in
- 8:34Speaker 2: the locker room fucking lost. Yeah, no idea, which way
- 8:39Speaker 2: is up? How to get here? Just literally a fucking
- 8:41Speaker 2: punk ass kid trying to get into a bar and
- 8:43Speaker 2: maybe drink a beer away from your parents for the
- 8:46Speaker 2: first time. But yeah, graduate early, go to a and
- 8:49Speaker 2: m I red shirted my first year. We were in
- 8:51Speaker 2: the Big twelve as well, which was a big, uh,
- 8:55Speaker 2: big difference over the years. Get into red shirt and
- 8:57Speaker 2: travel with the team the first year and go to
- 8:59Speaker 2: places like names Iowa and all and Lubbeck and all
- 9:03Speaker 2: these places had to go the next year the rass
- 9:05Speaker 2: it came to us. But then the next year we're
- 9:08Speaker 2: playing in the SEC and obviously getting a chance to
- 9:10Speaker 2: actually go out and rip it up and play a
- 9:12Speaker 2: little bit. It's just completely different getting to see the
- 9:16Speaker 2: the two conferences that way. But you know, funny story,
- 9:19Speaker 2: I haven't told a lot of people before. You know,
- 9:22Speaker 2: so I go into spring football that year. This is
- 9:25Speaker 2: your year in twelve, Yeah, this is my red shirt
- 9:28Speaker 2: freshman year, first chance to get a chance to you know,
- 9:31Speaker 2: get any reps, get some get some playing time. Anything
- 9:33Speaker 2: in the spring had as bout of abysmal the fucking
- 9:36Speaker 2: spring as you could have. Throwing picks all day in practice,
- 9:39Speaker 2: can't run around, can't do my thing, just feel cooped
- 9:42Speaker 2: up and uh. In the spring, fourth on the depth chart,
- 9:47Speaker 2: not even close to having a chance to compete for
- 9:49Speaker 2: the starting job, Just fucking struggling. Somewhere between that time
- 9:55Speaker 2: between into spring ball and fall camp, you know, I
- 9:59Speaker 2: go out, have a couple too many red white and
- 10:01Speaker 2: blue Budweisers on the fourth of July weekend and I
- 10:05Speaker 2: got caught with three fake id's and my wallet. It's
- 10:09Speaker 2: this thing, go online, type in all your info and
- 10:12Speaker 2: then this little toy car would show up. We're come
- 10:15Speaker 2: in like a toy from China, and then you'd open
- 10:17Speaker 2: it up and underneath you take out the batteries of
- 10:18Speaker 2: the car and there's your fake ID and everything. Oh perfect,
- 10:24Speaker 2: really really good. Had to get Louisiana because Texas ones
- 10:26Speaker 2: are really.
- 10:26Speaker 3: Hard to say, so I hate cutting you off, but
- 10:28Speaker 3: why three? It was a package deal trading carding.
- 10:34Speaker 2: The cool thing was when you go to a like
- 10:36Speaker 2: a gas station or something, you hand him ID and
- 10:38Speaker 2: the guy knows it's not you or knows it's fake,
- 10:40Speaker 2: you can just walk out without having to try and
- 10:41Speaker 2: get it back.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Yeah, snap it from him and get out of there.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Hit the hit the right, straight out the door, and
- 10:46Speaker 2: just just take off and just beat it. So, uh,
- 10:49Speaker 2: you know, that little incident happens. And I'm fourth on
- 10:52Speaker 2: the depth chart. Recently walking out of Brian College station
- 10:56Speaker 2: jail and uh, you know, looking pretty bleak. And this
- 10:59Speaker 2: is July. Fast forward eleven days in THEO you know,
- 11:04Speaker 2: college football training camp and play great, win the job
- 11:08Speaker 2: in eleven days. We played Foard to the first game
- 11:11Speaker 2: and then you know, a Heisman season kind of goes
- 11:12Speaker 2: from there.
- 11:13Speaker 1: That was the year you won the Heisman.
- 11:15Speaker 3: So you won the job in eleven days.
- 11:17Speaker 2: How do you?
- 11:18Speaker 3: How do you go up the depth chart? One position?
- 11:21Speaker 2: I credited the Cliff Kingsbury man. That's a guy who
- 11:25Speaker 2: really changed my life for the better. I mean, he
- 11:28Speaker 2: was like, listen, we're gonna get your feet wet in
- 11:30Speaker 2: the spring. You're gonna learn the system. You're going to
- 11:31Speaker 2: do this. But you know, he whether we had a
- 11:34Speaker 2: depth chart or not, he wasn't grating me off any
- 11:36Speaker 2: of that. He was greating everybody what we had in
- 11:38Speaker 2: the fall and what you look like coming back after
- 11:40Speaker 2: summer workouts. So you know he's I hang out with
- 11:44Speaker 2: him a lot. Now he's obviously in Arizona with the Cardinals,
- 11:46Speaker 2: and you know, I'm a Scottsdale guy, so I see
- 11:48Speaker 2: him a lot. And he's always told me that, uh,
- 11:50Speaker 2: he wanted me to be his guy. He saw a
- 11:52Speaker 2: lot in me, watched me. He's from New Bronfiles in
- 11:55Speaker 2: Texas and I played right outside of there, so just
- 11:58Speaker 2: a guy that believed in me, gave me a chance,
- 12:00Speaker 2: played really good in springball, and life changed in three
- 12:04Speaker 2: months from there.
- 12:05Speaker 4: Part of that story you're missing out on that I
- 12:07Speaker 4: think is you got in trouble and then you ended
- 12:10Speaker 4: up having to run like a well that ye, that
- 12:14Speaker 4: is a that is.
- 12:14Speaker 2: A big story. There's two. So when I got in
- 12:18Speaker 2: trouble at Texas A and M is a big school
- 12:21Speaker 2: of like honor code and ethics and things like that,
- 12:23Speaker 2: to where if you get in trouble even outside of
- 12:27Speaker 2: campus or just in the town and Brian College station,
- 12:30Speaker 2: they pretty much send your case to a review board
- 12:33Speaker 2: of the school. So when the job in eleven days
- 12:36Speaker 2: and then the day after I get named the starter,
- 12:39Speaker 2: I go to this meeting in front of this review board.
- 12:41Speaker 2: From my behavior or whatever, I go through the meeting
- 12:45Speaker 2: and tell tell them what happened, obviously apologize, and they
- 12:49Speaker 2: suspended me from college athletics for a year and put
- 12:53Speaker 2: me on academic suspension. So when the job one day
- 12:57Speaker 2: next day, go to this meeting thing, I'm just going
- 12:58Speaker 2: to you know, slap on the wrist on the gonna
- 13:00Speaker 2: happen to getting completely banned and not even be able
- 13:03Speaker 2: to play intermural athletics, which would if I'm not gonna
- 13:07Speaker 2: be able to play start in the SEC, I may
- 13:09Speaker 2: as well go to the rack and fucking yeah, no question.
- 13:13Speaker 2: So that happens. I had to meet with coach someone.
- 13:16Speaker 2: He's pretty much like every day we have a practice,
- 13:18Speaker 2: even if it's in the morning or in the afternoon,
- 13:20Speaker 2: you run ten gassers before the practice, and you run
- 13:23Speaker 2: fucking ten after. Yeah, and you practice. So they're fucking
- 13:28Speaker 2: wearing me out. But I ended up leading the SEC
- 13:31Speaker 2: and rushing that year, rushing Todd Gurley somehow, and I
- 13:36Speaker 2: think a lot of it was beneficial from that punishment.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I think I was in the best shape on the
- 13:40Speaker 2: team because I'm out there running one hundred twenty half
- 13:43Speaker 2: gass a week half gassers.
- 13:45Speaker 3: So this happened. This happened your retrofreshman year, your name
- 13:48Speaker 3: is starter, and then he has suspended for a year. Well,
- 13:50Speaker 3: how do they send that?
- 13:52Speaker 2: Collect a ton of letters from people within the like
- 13:57Speaker 2: our academic office or the place, our study hall, our teacher, coaches,
- 14:01Speaker 2: and had to collect probably twenty letters family members back
- 14:04Speaker 2: home from high school.
- 14:05Speaker 1: No way.
- 14:05Speaker 2: They all wrote letters for me and probably got about
- 14:07Speaker 2: twenty or thirty letters and sent them into the review board.
- 14:10Speaker 2: And I went back up for another review and they
- 14:12Speaker 2: were sending it to like a lower level of academic
- 14:15Speaker 2: probation so I could play sports.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Did you do that or did the school like a good.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Questions something I never really wanted to find out. I
- 14:22Speaker 2: was really nervous. Man, I'm just a kid trying to
- 14:24Speaker 2: ever touch the field in the sec which less you know,
- 14:27Speaker 2: we're playing Florida, the first game at home in front
- 14:29Speaker 2: of a hundred thousand people, new conference for us. This
- 14:33Speaker 2: is all I could have ever dreamed for. And I
- 14:35Speaker 2: get named the starter. In the next day they told
- 14:36Speaker 2: me to fucking you're out pretty much.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Do you feel like like you're obviously running twenty gases
- 14:44Speaker 1: a day to continue to be the starter, like when
- 14:47Speaker 1: you got in trouble and you're having to go through
- 14:49Speaker 1: all this stuff, like it seemed like you were pretty remorseful,
- 14:51Speaker 1: like you wanted to like, Yo, this isn't this isn't
- 14:54Speaker 1: who I want to be, This isn't what I want
- 14:55Speaker 1: to do going into unless you were just like good,
- 15:00Speaker 1: like fucking grunting those gassers out every day, still thinking
- 15:03Speaker 1: like you know, I'm still gonna be fucking you know.
- 15:06Speaker 2: I think it made I think it made me better.
- 15:08Speaker 2: I think it made me better for sure. That period
- 15:11Speaker 2: allowed me to put myself in a position to have
- 15:15Speaker 2: success that I did that year in college. I think
- 15:19Speaker 2: I've always worked better with somebody being jumping down my
- 15:22Speaker 2: throat and being on my ass because I tend to
- 15:23Speaker 2: get lazy and not do shit that I don't want
- 15:26Speaker 2: to do a punk ass, but uh, you know, I
- 15:30Speaker 2: think it. I think it kept me in line and
- 15:32Speaker 2: got me to a point where I really went and
- 15:33Speaker 2: focused on trying to be really good at football and
- 15:36Speaker 2: play well and live my dream type of thing. And
- 15:39Speaker 2: that's what I got to do that year, and I
- 15:40Speaker 2: think it was a great step in zone at all.
- 15:42Speaker 2: I look back now and say that there were no
- 15:44Speaker 2: accidents in my life, even with what happened in Cleveland
- 15:47Speaker 2: or this, and that I think everything went exactly the
- 15:50Speaker 2: way that it was supposed to. I think there's other
- 15:52Speaker 2: things out there that I'm meant for, and I think
- 15:54Speaker 2: fate has worked its way in a way that things
- 15:57Speaker 2: have gone exactly the way that they should have.
- 15:59Speaker 3: Yeah, you think things went exactly the way I was
- 16:01Speaker 3: supposed to go.
- 16:02Speaker 2: I do.
- 16:04Speaker 3: That's interesting. It's the only reast when I say that
- 16:08Speaker 3: is because like, things go the way they're supposed to
- 16:10Speaker 3: go when they're when the things that are uncontrollabile happen,
- 16:12Speaker 3: of course, but the things that you and we'll get
- 16:15Speaker 3: with this is a little further down the road now,
- 16:17Speaker 3: when you got to the NFL, like everything, all the
- 16:19Speaker 3: actions were controllable.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:20Speaker 3: Probably so so when you say, like, it's it's all
- 16:25Speaker 3: what did you say? It happens for a reason or
- 16:26Speaker 3: or it's supposed to.
- 16:27Speaker 2: It was supposed to happen way it's supposed to.
- 16:29Speaker 3: So if you went back, you wouldn't do anything different.
- 16:31Speaker 3: You do it the same way. You wouldn't do nothing different.
- 16:32Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I. I uh. For four years, five years
- 16:36Speaker 2: of my life, I went through the roller coaster of man,
- 16:40Speaker 2: I guess really depression. After I got cut in LA
- 16:42Speaker 2: or I got cut from Cleveland and moved to LA
- 16:44Speaker 2: I went through waking up every day wanting to have
- 16:47Speaker 2: a time machine to go back to our draft in
- 16:49Speaker 2: twenty fourteen and maybe tell this team to get fucked,
- 16:53Speaker 2: or go to another team, or go in the second round,
- 16:55Speaker 2: or work through every single scenario in my head, and
- 16:58Speaker 2: I think I've got to the point now where maybe
- 17:00Speaker 2: I just really didn't never love football to the point
- 17:02Speaker 2: of what it takes to be successful in the.
- 17:03Speaker 3: DA So when you went from the Browns, whould you
- 17:07Speaker 3: go from there? You went to the CFL XFL.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Or I took a year off and then I went
- 17:11Speaker 2: to the CFL and then went and played in the
- 17:13Speaker 2: AAF in the same year.
- 17:14Speaker 3: And when how long did it take you to realize
- 17:17Speaker 3: that maybe I didn't love football the way if I
- 17:19Speaker 3: love football.
- 17:20Speaker 2: And I walked back into the locker room in Canada
- 17:22Speaker 2: for the first time, I was really excited. You go
- 17:23Speaker 2: in the press conference, the first couple of days on
- 17:25Speaker 2: the field, but when the grind really started and the
- 17:28Speaker 2: normal workload and yeah, I mean it's a thirty percent
- 17:33Speaker 2: workload in the CFL compared to what we do in
- 17:35Speaker 2: the NFL.
- 17:36Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like OTAs every day, right, It's.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Pretty much like you're in the building at nine o'clock,
- 17:39Speaker 2: you're done at one o'clock. You get free time to
- 17:41Speaker 2: do whatever you want. So, I mean, you spend a
- 17:43Speaker 2: couple extra hours in there, you're done in at nine,
- 17:45Speaker 2: you're done at three. Compared to what we do on
- 17:47Speaker 2: a Tuesday or Wednesday or whatever day in the league
- 17:50Speaker 2: where it's early season six thirty in the morning until
- 17:53Speaker 2: eight o'clock at night or something like that. So when
- 17:55Speaker 2: I moved and went back into the locker room in
- 17:57Speaker 2: Canada and started getting back into it again, felt the
- 18:00Speaker 2: exact same way. Every single feeling that I had when
- 18:03Speaker 2: I was in Cleveland came right back to me, and
- 18:06Speaker 2: I'm I kind of love this whatsoever?
- 18:07Speaker 3: You don't want to do this, but you went, You went,
- 18:10Speaker 3: uh Canadian League, you went to that spring league, and.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Then I went to that AFF and the AAF in Memphis.
- 18:17Speaker 3: So was it a vicious circle of being in something
- 18:19Speaker 3: realizing Okay, this isn't for me, leaving it, being like, okay,
- 18:22Speaker 3: this isn't been my identity for X amount of years,
- 18:25Speaker 3: my father, the people I love, thinking this is what
- 18:27Speaker 3: I'm supposed to be doing. So you get back into it. Yeah,
- 18:30Speaker 3: And then it was a vicious circle over and over again.
- 18:32Speaker 2: A lot of it was now I sit back and
- 18:34Speaker 2: reflect and call it what it is. But for like
- 18:37Speaker 2: a long point in time, I didn't accept it for
- 18:39Speaker 2: what it was. I was, you know, listening to outside
- 18:41Speaker 2: people or go back and watch an old highlight tape
- 18:44Speaker 2: and be like fuck man and go in the backyard
- 18:46Speaker 2: right the same ship and throw the ball around the
- 18:48Speaker 2: same way. So it just u It took a lot
- 18:51Speaker 2: of time and a lot of just I've got to
- 18:52Speaker 2: a point now in my life where I'm able to
- 18:54Speaker 2: really reflect and sit back on things, and my mood
- 18:57Speaker 2: has changed, my lifestyle. I was a little bit kind
- 19:01Speaker 2: of the same with what I do and how I
- 19:02Speaker 2: live my life, but just the way I think and
- 19:04Speaker 2: the way that I interact with people and the way
- 19:07Speaker 2: where my life is now, I'm completely different than I was,
- 19:10Speaker 2: and I think a lot of it has come because
- 19:12Speaker 2: of acceptance.
- 19:12Speaker 3: You seem much more calm. I didn't know you like that,
- 19:16Speaker 3: but in twenty twelve at the Walter Payton thing, being
- 19:19Speaker 3: around you and I've admiring you from afar, like that's
- 19:21Speaker 3: Johnny Manziel. You know what I'm saying. You and I
- 19:23Speaker 3: are both all Americans. But I'm looking at this guy going, fuck,
- 19:26Speaker 3: that's the you know, that's whatever.
- 19:28Speaker 1: I'm in the class.
- 19:28Speaker 3: I'm in the class with this fucking dude.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you go to the bar.
- 19:31Speaker 3: And you're fucking you're holding court, dude, and like all
- 19:34Speaker 3: everyone's around you and I'm looking at you like I
- 19:36Speaker 3: want to do that. I want to be a part
- 19:37Speaker 3: of that shit. And so but your energy was so
- 19:40Speaker 3: high and you seem like you're so onto the next thing.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Looking back on it, obviously at the time, I'm like this,
- 19:45Speaker 3: I want to do that shit too, you know what
- 19:47Speaker 3: I'm saying. I was getting just as much trouble on
- 19:49Speaker 3: a way smaller scale, and.
- 19:51Speaker 4: What bottom I like, I've been I've been buddies with
- 19:54Speaker 4: him for through the or less, probably twenty fourteen.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean even probably even before that.
- 20:01Speaker 4: I've known him a long time, and that was kind
- 20:04Speaker 4: of the idea. You know, we talked about this for
- 20:06Speaker 4: a while. I just wanted people to see the the
- 20:09Speaker 4: side of him that you know, there's there's a lot
- 20:11Speaker 4: of connotations obviously that have traveled with the story, and
- 20:15Speaker 4: it's obviously a notorious story, like just you know what
- 20:18Speaker 4: he's gone through and what it looked like from Afar,
- 20:21Speaker 4: but knowing him then and being with him through it,
- 20:25Speaker 4: you know, and just in La we were neighbors for
- 20:27Speaker 4: a while, I would see it. There'd be times were like, man, like,
- 20:31Speaker 4: you know, I didn't want to like we'd be we'd
- 20:33Speaker 4: be buddies, but you know, I want to stay.
- 20:35Speaker 2: I want to let him work through what he needed
- 20:36Speaker 2: to work through.
- 20:37Speaker 4: And then it got to a point I'm like I
- 20:38Speaker 4: could feel that there was a level of peace where
- 20:41Speaker 4: like he had clarity. He went and did Canada like
- 20:44Speaker 4: you know, I remember we were doing a comeback season thing.
- 20:47Speaker 4: I did some branding stuff for him then too, and
- 20:49Speaker 4: he didn't have like clarity on he didn't have closure or.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Clarity on it.
- 20:53Speaker 4: I feel like those were necessary steps for him just
- 20:56Speaker 4: as a friend, like go look, go get that last
- 20:59Speaker 4: nut up, like see if see if you can do
- 21:00Speaker 4: it again?
- 21:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, does it still get your fucking dick
- 21:03Speaker 2: card or not?
- 21:04Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 21:04Speaker 4: And I remember talking to him, He's like, man, it
- 21:07Speaker 4: just doesn't you know? And then what ball don't lie?
- 21:09Speaker 4: Would I think that? What that real undertone of that
- 21:13Speaker 4: is just like when you ask him that question, like
- 21:16Speaker 4: would you do it different? You know, the realization We've
- 21:19Speaker 4: had a lot of these late night conversations and talks
- 21:21Speaker 4: about these types of things, and that was kind of
- 21:23Speaker 4: the main realization.
- 21:24Speaker 2: It's like, dude, if it's not in your heart and
- 21:26Speaker 2: your mind, and.
- 21:27Speaker 4: Your soul like your your God gifts, you know, he's
- 21:31Speaker 4: God gifted talented at football, right, But at some point,
- 21:34Speaker 4: if it doesn't get your rocks off, and it's not
- 21:36Speaker 4: what you want to do, it's to be it's supposed
- 21:39Speaker 4: to do, yea life, you.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Know what I mean. That's what I wanted him to
- 21:42Speaker 2: share about.
- 21:43Speaker 4: You know, just from that perspective, it's just like, man,
- 21:46Speaker 4: at some point, what is it really about?
- 21:48Speaker 2: You're living your life.
- 21:50Speaker 4: So if you don't get up and man like, go,
- 21:52Speaker 4: I gotta you know, obviously it takes a lot of
- 21:54Speaker 4: mental fortitude. You talk about fortitude all the time, but
- 21:57Speaker 4: to be an amazing quarterback in the NFL, I only
- 22:00Speaker 4: know what he tells me. But just the level of preparation, yeah,
- 22:04Speaker 4: you guys, the level of dedication it takes.
- 22:07Speaker 2: And if it's not in your heart to do that,
- 22:10Speaker 2: like for anything in any walk of life, you know
- 22:12Speaker 2: what I mean.
- 22:13Speaker 4: That's how I feel like it's not in your heart
- 22:15Speaker 4: of hearts to go pursue that with all of your
- 22:17Speaker 4: passion or as much passion as it takes.
- 22:20Speaker 2: And it's not your path, you know, it's not. It's
- 22:21Speaker 2: not the path that.
- 22:22Speaker 4: You're supposed to walk forever, you know, And that's how
- 22:25Speaker 4: I felt, and I think that's what that's really what,
- 22:28Speaker 4: Like I wanted to share in the Ball Don't Lie scenarios,
- 22:31Speaker 4: just like I want him to share that side of it,
- 22:33Speaker 4: just like dude, that was.
- 22:33Speaker 3: A bait thing that took off, Ball Don't Line. That
- 22:35Speaker 3: was the reason why you guys want to start something.
- 22:37Speaker 2: I mean, we we didn't have a bunch of talks
- 22:39Speaker 2: like this, just about life and being two guys around
- 22:41Speaker 2: the same age trying to just figure it out. Like
- 22:43Speaker 2: a lot of Mike's music has been one step after another,
- 22:47Speaker 2: learning as you go, and I felt like, you know,
- 22:49Speaker 2: I learned more. You know. The rise was really quick
- 22:53Speaker 2: and rapid and fast, and everybody wanted a piece of it,
- 22:55Speaker 2: and the energy that came with it was just through
- 22:58Speaker 2: the roof. You know. It was crazy to think back
- 23:01Speaker 2: and say, maybe eight or nine years ago, there was
- 23:03Speaker 2: only a couple athletes maybe on the face of the
- 23:06Speaker 2: at least maybe in the United States who had who
- 23:09Speaker 2: maybe I was as famous ass like maybe me Lebron,
- 23:11Speaker 2: Tom Brady, like a couple other nights. It was really
- 23:15Speaker 2: up there, and uh, you know, just looking back on
- 23:19Speaker 2: it now, It's crazy to say, and not a lot
- 23:21Speaker 2: of people have under understood this when I've said it,
- 23:23Speaker 2: But like I've been longing and trying to get back
- 23:27Speaker 2: to a sense of normalcy. Life went from really normal
- 23:30Speaker 2: a kid from fucking Curville, Texas that nobody knew, to
- 23:33Speaker 2: a heisman a year later to the whole rise, going
- 23:36Speaker 2: to the NFL and dealing with that. My whole mission
- 23:40Speaker 2: in the last couple of years has been trying to
- 23:41Speaker 2: get back to a sense of normalcy and just feeling
- 23:44Speaker 2: like one of the boys again. That's why I wanted
- 23:46Speaker 2: to come on the bus talking like I just want
- 23:48Speaker 2: to be one of the fucking bros. Walk in the streets.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Guys asked me while we're here in Nashville. It's like, Yo,
- 23:53Speaker 2: what the fuck are you doing out here? Man? I'm like, dude,
- 23:55Speaker 2: it's Amorial Day weekend. Trying to come out have some
- 23:58Speaker 2: plub with my boys the same way you are. Yeah,
- 24:00Speaker 2: trying to just have a good time. That's it's nothing
- 24:03Speaker 2: else to it. Just the guy trying to have a
- 24:05Speaker 2: beer at Forga Georgia Lanbar. I need some case.
- 24:09Speaker 1: We had a lot yeah too, like and it's like,
- 24:11Speaker 1: you know, would you do anything different, like living in
- 24:14Speaker 1: regret and all that kind of stuff. It's like, yeah,
- 24:16Speaker 1: like as a human being, you're gonna sit there like
- 24:18Speaker 1: I wish I had my experience now that I did
- 24:20Speaker 1: back then, and I just don't, because if you're if
- 24:23Speaker 1: you're sitting there living in regret all the time and
- 24:26Speaker 1: you just like live in the past, at the end
- 24:27Speaker 1: of the day, you're just like you just have illusions
- 24:31Speaker 1: about like what life should have been based on what
- 24:32Speaker 1: everybody else perceives you as you know what I mean.
- 24:35Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really what drove a lot of my mental
- 24:40Speaker 2: health struggles and a lot of things. It took me years. Man,
- 24:43Speaker 2: I went through a point where my schedule flipped around
- 24:45Speaker 2: and I couldn't sleep throughout the middle of the night,
- 24:47Speaker 2: and I would sleep during the middle of the day.
- 24:49Speaker 2: And this would go on for weeks at a time,
- 24:51Speaker 2: and I would just beat myself up every day watching
- 24:54Speaker 2: guys who I went up against in college or friends with,
- 24:57Speaker 2: and can't help but almost get to a point of
- 24:59Speaker 2: like envy or jealousy at times watching guys go out
- 25:02Speaker 2: and live the dream of what you thought you were
- 25:04Speaker 2: supposed to do. But I can honestly sit back and
- 25:06Speaker 2: say today that I'm happier with less. I'm happier without
- 25:10Speaker 2: all the fame, and I'm happier on the path that
- 25:12Speaker 2: my life is going. And I don't know where the
- 25:14Speaker 2: fuck it's going. I'm cool with it. I'm walking with
- 25:16Speaker 2: everything that comes my way and just kind of piece
- 25:19Speaker 2: by piece, day by day, just figuring it out. Something
- 25:22Speaker 2: will come.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Do you know as far as like a career, do
- 25:25Speaker 3: you know where you want to go from here?

- 25:33Speaker 2: big Nike deal too, right, I had a nice little
- 25:35Speaker 2: Nike deal, got some great great sponsorships, and then you know,
- 25:39Speaker 2: been free freelance. In the last couple of years. I
- 25:41Speaker 2: did a parstol with podcast or a podcast with Barstool
- 25:45Speaker 2: for a year on college football. I've been just doing
- 25:47Speaker 2: some stuff here and there, and you know, just kind
- 25:49Speaker 2: of trying to figure it out. But you know, I'm
- 25:52Speaker 2: working on this golf thing. You know, I'm really addicted
- 25:55Speaker 2: to the golf life. Right now. I'm about a zero handicap.
- 25:59Speaker 2: I'm getting better, knocked it down, probably ten strokes in
- 26:01Speaker 2: the last year, so uh, I'm addicted to it. Man,
- 26:05Speaker 2: It's something. It's the best rush that I've got in
- 26:08Speaker 2: sports since playing football. I feel it makes me feel
- 26:11Speaker 2: a little bit of the same way we're out all
- 26:14Speaker 2: night partying or whatever. I have a am T time.
- 26:16Speaker 2: I don't miss very many, probably zero of those ad
- 26:18Speaker 2: AMT times, no matter how I banged up and hurt
- 26:21Speaker 2: I am it's just looking back at it. We've been
- 26:23Speaker 2: talking about this. It's like it's something gets me out
- 26:25Speaker 2: of bed in the morning, and for a long time
- 26:27Speaker 2: there wasn't a lot of anything that would get me
- 26:29Speaker 2: out of bed in the morning.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Depression.
- 26:30Speaker 2: I'll do that to you, no doubt.

- 28:39Speaker 3: In the middle of something and we're going back and forth.
- 28:42Speaker 3: Jaw sets were happening, and then I had to go
- 28:43Speaker 3: to this and the whole reading thing.
- 28:45Speaker 1: I see him, he's up in the he's up in
- 28:47Speaker 1: the screen and I see beads a sweat coming down.
- 28:49Speaker 3: It was a hot day and I'm thinking, like that
- 28:51Speaker 3: was a hot day more than you're doing.

- 29:00Speaker 3: Nervous? Did I get nervous?
- 29:01Speaker 2: Easy?
- 29:07Speaker 3: He was out there, Dude, Dave does like the chirp. Yeah,
- 29:09Speaker 3: he's he's about that.
- 29:11Speaker 2: Before we got on. I've known Dad forever. He's, uh,
- 29:15Speaker 2: do you know the cave? You ever hear his rap?
- 29:17Speaker 2: His rap song?
- 29:18Speaker 1: No?
- 29:19Speaker 2: Yeah, got it was.
- 29:20Speaker 4: It was like probably like three four years before you
- 29:23Speaker 4: guys got into him. Him and KFC did like a
- 29:26Speaker 4: rap fist back and forth and I produced it out
- 29:28Speaker 4: for him and like, yeah.
- 29:31Speaker 2: But I've known Dave forever and it's we talked about it.
- 29:34Speaker 4: I think on a few of one of our episodes,
- 29:36Speaker 4: our past episodes.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Just like as much as.
- 29:39Speaker 4: The Barstool growth and their expansion as a company has
- 29:42Speaker 4: been so impressive.
- 29:44Speaker 2: I mean, I give David Flowers all the time. I
- 29:46Speaker 2: seen him personally. I know people he's.
- 29:48Speaker 4: A big chirp guy, but his personal like brand, just
- 29:53Speaker 4: Dave Portnally has been super impressive to watch.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Did you really like dude?
- 29:58Speaker 4: I know him fucking long, Like I've seen I've seen
- 30:02Speaker 4: the trajectory and just seeing like what he's done and
- 30:05Speaker 4: the moves he's making.
- 30:06Speaker 2: It just makes a lot of sense. But it's impressive
- 30:08Speaker 2: as much as barstool itself is super.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Impressive, right, but his own indust.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Own thing, it's crazy, it's impressive. Well. Watching his twenty
- 30:19Speaker 3: twenty we we touched on a little bit last week.
- 30:21Speaker 3: His the way he took down a pandemic, the content
- 30:25Speaker 3: he was able to put out over and over again,
- 30:26Speaker 3: the unboxing, the frozen pizzas. I've eaten Jack's pizza before,
- 30:32Speaker 3: but literally every time I think of Jacks pizza and
- 30:33Speaker 3: I think I'll fuck those guys because of the importantly
- 30:36Speaker 3: he said fuck these guys. He was so mad about it, dude,
- 30:39Speaker 3: he did such a great job.
- 30:40Speaker 2: But we looked at it with like the amount of
- 30:42Speaker 2: people he's helped to last year, the whole yeah small
- 30:45Speaker 2: business thing, and the amount of athletes and people he
- 30:47Speaker 2: got to give back to people who still to this
- 30:50Speaker 2: day desperately desperately needed it. I thought that was not
- 30:53Speaker 2: special at the same time as he can be and
- 30:56Speaker 2: people have, you know, to say what they had to
- 30:58Speaker 2: say about him, Fuck all that a guy's he really is, and.
- 31:01Speaker 3: The way he will just get mad though you know
- 31:02Speaker 3: how it is like every people want to get mad
- 31:05Speaker 3: about something. We're in a group chat with him. He
- 31:09Speaker 3: will he left Nashville. We're in a group chat with him,
- 31:11Speaker 3: and he's like telling them soft Preds fans go fuck themselves.
- 31:14Speaker 3: So I'm like, here come the clicks, dude. I pull
- 31:16Speaker 3: up my Twitter. Let you guys know self ass Prends
- 31:20Speaker 3: fans and to go fuck yourself. These dudes started coming
- 31:22Speaker 3: down my throat no pause about like how I'm a
- 31:24Speaker 3: soft ass and fuck you and all this stuff, and
- 31:27Speaker 3: I'm like, yo, I didn't do nothing, dude. I was
- 31:29Speaker 3: just I was just the messenger. But like people just
- 31:31Speaker 3: want to get mad about whatever they whatever comes up,
- 31:34Speaker 3: they want to hate on you. They want to everything music,
- 31:38Speaker 3: our podcast when I'm playing, dude. That's one thing I
- 31:41Speaker 3: envy about you being able to get out of it
- 31:44Speaker 3: is when you're in the middle of the season, Like
- 31:46Speaker 3: I'll go in, I'll have a couple of penalties and
- 31:48Speaker 3: it's an absolute fucking bloodbath. I just get I get
- 31:51Speaker 3: verbally destroyed on Twitter, and you know, you don't want
- 31:53Speaker 3: to look, but a lot of times you do look
- 31:56Speaker 3: and it eats at you. And definitely it's.
- 31:58Speaker 5: One of those out like even absolutely success, you've had it, Uh,
- 32:04Speaker 5: Like I'm always reaching for more, Like that's that's my
- 32:07Speaker 5: personality is like I always like, you know, how.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Can I stay relevant as a football player? How can
- 32:13Speaker 3: I keep What's the next thing I can do to
- 32:15Speaker 3: make myself that much younger. I'm turning thirty this year,
- 32:17Speaker 3: and it's like I tore my ACL, I had a
- 32:19Speaker 3: PD the year before. It's like, yo, how can I
- 32:21Speaker 3: stop the bleeding on this? Like these last two years?
- 32:24Speaker 3: And yeah, dude, when you read that stuff, it does suck.
- 32:27Speaker 3: It's it's a it's a hard thing to look at
- 32:29Speaker 3: because you're like, well, especially when you're trying your best,
- 32:32Speaker 3: like legit, I'm giving it in my all course, and
- 32:34Speaker 3: people are like, yo, fuck this dude. You're like, man, yeah,
- 32:36Speaker 3: it's just hard.
- 32:37Speaker 4: You know.
- 32:38Speaker 2: I talk about sports fans a lot. It's an interesting
- 32:40Speaker 2: dynamic really is.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Just between fans and players. Like having that access.
- 32:46Speaker 4: It's just like it's just an interesting perspective that sports
- 32:49Speaker 4: fans have that I I feel like is kind of
- 32:53Speaker 4: not outdated, but it's just like it's like there's a disconnect,
- 32:56Speaker 4: like don't have any ownership of these players just because
- 32:59Speaker 4: the team.
- 33:00Speaker 2: You live in this region, and your.
- 33:02Speaker 4: Team's paying them a lot of money because they're the
- 33:05Speaker 4: best in the fucking world. In this right, you have
- 33:08Speaker 4: no say in how they fucking lead their lives, you
- 33:11Speaker 4: know what I mean?
- 33:11Speaker 2: Or like there's literally people like shut up and.
- 33:13Speaker 1: Do this, you know what I mean, Like the'll shut
- 33:15Speaker 1: up and dribble stuff.
- 33:16Speaker 3: And yeah, as.
- 33:17Speaker 2: A fan, how the hell in your mind you think
- 33:20Speaker 2: you have that? Say? Like, it's just an interesting dynamic.
- 33:24Speaker 4: Like I don't I don't ship on sports fans, but
- 33:27Speaker 4: I'm just like I feel like they're out of touch.
- 33:29Speaker 4: I feel like they're they're like a little bit disconnected
- 33:31Speaker 4: of like reality in the sense of what's really happening
- 33:35Speaker 4: going on at home with them.
- 33:36Speaker 1: You know what, You can be a real sports fan
- 33:39Speaker 1: and just know that shit's going you know, they vicariously
- 33:42Speaker 1: through you, dude.
- 33:43Speaker 3: They see us on the field, they see you making music.
- 33:46Speaker 3: And there's two ways in go I want to be that,
- 33:47Speaker 3: I'm gonna strive to be that. Or Jelsey comes out, Well,
- 33:50Speaker 3: how come he gets to be successful? How come this
- 33:52Speaker 3: guy gets to do this? Well, this guy's not taking
- 33:53Speaker 3: advantage advantage of this situation And that's.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Their one connection to being like in that dream of
- 33:59Speaker 1: all stuff, and like you said, why can't I be
- 34:01Speaker 1: in that position?
- 34:01Speaker 3: Like I was.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Stoked to have this, to have you on the bus
- 34:04Speaker 1: because I came right before you. Guys. I think we
- 34:08Speaker 1: played each other in a preseason game. But I just
- 34:10Speaker 1: know from uh huh yeah, yeah, yeah, I know from
- 34:15Speaker 1: an undrafted player's mindset when you watch like what where
- 34:19Speaker 1: you were and what you had and everything else, and
- 34:21Speaker 1: it get cut get swindled in my mind because I'm
- 34:24Speaker 1: obviously at that point in time, my identity is full.
- 34:27Speaker 1: I'm going to be an NFL football player. So when
- 34:30Speaker 1: you see somebody like a Johnny Football be at the
- 34:32Speaker 1: top and then not, in my mind take advantage of
- 34:36Speaker 1: that opportunity. You're like, how does this guy not have
- 34:38Speaker 1: a perspective on what he's doing? Which I know, like
- 34:41Speaker 1: a lot of guys, that's kind of how it works
- 34:43Speaker 1: in such a competitive natured world. We're all just we're
- 34:46Speaker 1: constantly competing no matter what. Like you said, you're sitting
- 34:48Speaker 1: at home, you see people pass you by, Like we're
- 34:51Speaker 1: so embedded to be competitive that when you see somebody
- 34:54Speaker 1: in your mind ahead of you, it's like how are
- 34:56Speaker 1: they not this Because I'm like, in my mind, man,
- 34:57Speaker 1: if I was a draft pick, or if I was
- 34:59Speaker 1: a first round or I was this guy, like I
- 35:01Speaker 1: would be doing X y Z. But I know, ultimately,
- 35:03Speaker 1: like I'm living in my own head about it. But
- 35:05Speaker 1: I was fascinated to have you on to kind of
- 35:07Speaker 1: learn about this up and down ride you've been on.
- 35:10Speaker 2: I would say I lost a huge part of my
- 35:13Speaker 2: competitive spirit when I got to the NFL. I would say,
- 35:18Speaker 2: when I got handed you know, this amount of money,
- 35:21Speaker 2: this first round pick, you're going to be the core.
- 35:23Speaker 2: I just something about when I went to Cleveland, whether
- 35:26Speaker 2: it was you know, my first couple OTAs or training
- 35:30Speaker 2: camp or that, all of the confidence that I had,
- 35:33Speaker 2: you know, and acquired from college going into the NFL.
- 35:37Speaker 2: I the time September rolled around, in Game one rolled around,
- 35:41Speaker 2: I had absolutely fucking zero of it left none. I
- 35:44Speaker 2: had no confidence in what I was doing, how to
- 35:46Speaker 2: play the position, not putting the time in, and it
- 35:50Speaker 2: got to a point where I questioned myself a lot
- 35:52Speaker 2: of if I could really even do it. And you know,
- 35:56Speaker 2: I always look back and talk about the situation in
- 35:58Speaker 2: Cleveland and if it was exactly right and you know,
- 36:00Speaker 2: it is what it is. You know, it happened the
- 36:02Speaker 2: way that it did, and a lot of it, you know,
- 36:04Speaker 2: I take a lot of ownership on it because a
- 36:06Speaker 2: lot of the things could have been overcome with hard
- 36:10Speaker 2: work and time and spending more time in Cleveland and
- 36:13Speaker 2: adapting that as home rather than how I kind of
- 36:17Speaker 2: acted and maneuvered around, which was you know, I just
- 36:19Speaker 2: kind of stayed away from it a little bit. Now,
- 36:21Speaker 2: my life was all over the place, and you know,
- 36:24Speaker 2: but the confidence and the competition that we were talking about,
- 36:27Speaker 2: like we had guys undrafted free agents. I think we
- 36:30Speaker 2: had maybe six or seven that year that were undrafted
- 36:33Speaker 2: free agents on our Browns team that made the roster
- 36:35Speaker 2: and ended up going on and having new contracts and
- 36:38Speaker 2: doing great. So I got to see these guys and
- 36:40Speaker 2: it never once in my mind clicked it. You know,
- 36:42Speaker 2: this is what this guy is living and dreaming for
- 36:44Speaker 2: to come in and just get in the building, to
- 36:46Speaker 2: make any amount of money, and you have this opportunity
- 36:48Speaker 2: that you're squandered. And for me, it goes back to
- 36:53Speaker 2: just you know, I didn't have a lot of confidence
- 36:54Speaker 2: in myself and my ability because of the way, you know,
- 36:57Speaker 2: my life was kind of going and I don't think
- 36:59Speaker 2: I ever just got that passion in that fire of
- 37:02Speaker 2: something that you would have had trying to get on
- 37:04Speaker 2: the team and trying to go through training camp like
- 37:06Speaker 2: your life depending on it, going to that day at
- 37:08Speaker 2: your locker where you open it up and make sure
- 37:10Speaker 2: you don't have to go to see the GM to
- 37:13Speaker 2: turn your playbook in type of thing. You know, I
- 37:15Speaker 2: think that sense of me being a first round pick
- 37:18Speaker 2: and having guaranteed years and things like that probably was
- 37:21Speaker 2: a disservice to me looking back to say it that way,
- 37:23Speaker 2: as much as if it was a blessing I needed.
- 37:27Speaker 2: I needed a little tougher, stricter situation because I was
- 37:29Speaker 2: just all over the mat.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Think.
- 37:30Speaker 3: I mean, people did it all the time. Jerry Jones
- 37:32Speaker 3: did that allegedly with Dez Bryan. I don't know it.
- 37:34Speaker 3: I don't know the guy personally, but I'm sure I've
- 37:38Speaker 3: heard that he had like a legit like a babysitter,
- 37:40Speaker 3: like hey, you can and can't do this in the
- 37:42Speaker 3: beginning of his career and kind of helped him on
- 37:44Speaker 3: that path. And then, you know, fit is everything. I
- 37:47Speaker 3: got drafted Tennessee at eleven I was fucking pissed, not
- 37:50Speaker 3: because it was Tennessee, but because two guys are drafted
- 37:53Speaker 3: ahead of me. Like I've always been able to find
- 37:55Speaker 3: a way to keep a chip, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
- 37:58Speaker 3: Greg Robinson and Jake mack Gregg's right now, do you
- 38:01Speaker 3: doing whatever in jail? I'm pretty sure he's in prison
- 38:03Speaker 3: right now.
- 38:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 38:05Speaker 3: He got caught with like one hundred and fifty eight
- 38:06Speaker 3: pounds of weed in a BMW. How do you how
- 38:09Speaker 3: do you fit that in a coop?
- 38:10Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like, you get pulled over?
- 38:20Speaker 3: You know your bro that thing he get pulled over?
- 38:22Speaker 3: He was like by U tap, Like he's like an
- 38:24Speaker 3: OL passa at the border, Like there's cops everywhere, you
- 38:28Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But yeah, happened like two years ago.
- 38:33Speaker 3: I think it was the last off season. But the
- 38:36Speaker 3: what I was trying to get out was, you know, Cleveland,
- 38:39Speaker 3: they had a lot of success this year there where
- 38:40Speaker 3: they've really turned around the culture and I'm super happy
- 38:42Speaker 3: for them. But at the time, and nobody wanted to
- 38:45Speaker 3: go to Cleveland. When we at the Rookie Symposium, We're
- 38:47Speaker 3: like this fuck, this is blows that was not fun.
- 38:50Speaker 3: You know, you're Reese's peanut butter cups and going. People
- 38:52Speaker 3: got to play here like it's just down if you
- 38:56Speaker 3: would have ended up at a spot like I don't know,
- 38:58Speaker 3: Like I don't know how the team is, but like
- 39:00Speaker 3: Pete Carroll at Seattle, he's a high energy dude. Seems
- 39:04Speaker 3: like he really gets gets love with the quarterbacks, like
- 39:07Speaker 3: fits in real good. You go to a place like
- 39:09Speaker 3: the Patriots that's superstructured, it could have been totally different.
- 39:12Speaker 2: Well, we had a I mean I got I got
- 39:14Speaker 2: to be My first sure offensive coordinator was Kyle Shanahan.
- 39:17Speaker 2: So from the football side of that, with him as
- 39:20Speaker 2: far as the offense goes, was a real fucking treat
- 39:23Speaker 2: to be around that guy and get to watch him
- 39:25Speaker 2: coach you know o Wine tight end receivers. As far
- 39:29Speaker 2: as the offense goes, what he did was badass. Now,
- 39:32Speaker 2: the dysfunction and what we had in the building between
- 39:35Speaker 2: like head coach and OC and GM and the things
- 39:39Speaker 2: that we had go on behind the scenes are just
- 39:42Speaker 2: ludicrous now looking back at it, Like GM's texting mid
- 39:46Speaker 2: game to the O Seed to play a guy on
- 39:48Speaker 2: the bit, like just damn really really.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Tell you that stuff.
- 39:55Speaker 2: I mean, I had our quarterback coach, Dal Logins, he
- 39:58Speaker 2: was he was awesome, Markansas se see guy. We had
- 40:02Speaker 2: a cool relationship and we talked about a lot of
- 40:04Speaker 2: this shit because them being coaches in the league for
- 40:07Speaker 2: you know, four or five six years before that, they
- 40:09Speaker 2: had never seen anything like this. And there's a clip
- 40:12Speaker 2: that came out and I see it on Twitter every
- 40:14Speaker 2: now and then, but it's from twenty fourteen one of
- 40:17Speaker 2: our Browns games and Kyle Shanahan's going to call his
- 40:21Speaker 2: play and the camera on the sidelines looking at him,
- 40:23Speaker 2: and the head coach jumps on the mike, Mike Pettan
- 40:26Speaker 2: and he's like, hey, run the ball here, and Kyle
- 40:29Speaker 2: Shanahan kind of looks at him like, what the fuck
- 40:32Speaker 2: are you talking about? Bro? I game plan all week,
- 40:35Speaker 2: every fucking day for this defense to go out and
- 40:38Speaker 2: get in seven to eleven in the red zone and
- 40:41Speaker 2: run this play that we have called in our quarterback
- 40:44Speaker 2: room to go score a fucking touchdown. What does he
- 40:46Speaker 2: do fucking fakes it and keeps it and throws it
- 40:49Speaker 2: in the flat for a touchdown. Just look there looking
- 40:51Speaker 2: at each other like to standoff. It's a Mexican standoff
- 40:57Speaker 2: and I've seen the clip and we're sitting at him
- 40:59Speaker 2: for the fucking your piece in with mouthful of seeds,
- 41:02Speaker 2: like happen along and I'm watching this go along, like
- 41:04Speaker 2: what in the fuck are we doing? And that was
- 41:08Speaker 2: how it was for the first you know, my first season,
- 41:12Speaker 2: and you know, me and Brian Hoyer with Brian Hoyer
- 41:14Speaker 2: was a guy who was trying to you know, this
- 41:17Speaker 2: was his shot to get a chance to start, to
- 41:18Speaker 2: go make some money, to make a name. And this
- 41:20Speaker 2: has ended up that year propelled him to being able
- 41:22Speaker 2: to go to Houston and back to New England and go,
- 41:26Speaker 2: you know, live a life in the NFL. That year
- 41:27Speaker 2: of him finally getting getting the start, you know, our
- 41:30Speaker 2: relationship was a little rocky there. I'm the young punk
- 41:33Speaker 2: that you know the media talks about every day and
- 41:35Speaker 2: all the things that come into it.
- 41:36Speaker 3: It's got to be tough on his side to see.
- 41:38Speaker 2: I see it from his side though, I completely get it.
- 41:40Speaker 2: If this punk kids in the way of my job,
- 41:42Speaker 2: I'm gonna outwork him and out out out fucking grind
- 41:45Speaker 2: him to go make my fucking four million bucks from
- 41:47Speaker 2: the Browns and go on and try and make ten
- 41:48Speaker 2: or twelve from Houston. That puts my kids through school,
- 41:51Speaker 2: no question. But that changes my life to where my
- 41:53Speaker 2: house is better, my life is better, my way of
- 41:56Speaker 2: life is better. So like I completely get it from
- 41:58Speaker 2: from Hoyer's view looking back at it now, at that
- 42:01Speaker 2: point in time, we're fucking snarling each other every day.
- 42:06Speaker 2: And next year, you know, offensive coordinator staff leaves, we
- 42:11Speaker 2: get a new staff in, but we got Josh McCown
- 42:14Speaker 2: and that guy. I will look back until I'm ninety
- 42:17Speaker 2: years old one day and say, what a fucking dude, Yeah,
- 42:21Speaker 2: a real one. He walks in the first day, O, man,
- 42:25Speaker 2: Josh Cowen, nice to meet you. Anything you fucking need,
- 42:27Speaker 2: anything you want to learn about football? Tie fucking stringing
- 42:30Speaker 2: my backpack? You follow me around. I promise I'll fucking
- 42:32Speaker 2: teach you some shit.
- 42:33Speaker 3: Yeah just like that.
- 42:34Speaker 2: You yeah, down every day, teach protections.
- 42:39Speaker 1: Do this.
- 42:40Speaker 2: I came from a system in college where we're looking
- 42:41Speaker 2: out and if the linebackers tucked in, we're literally throwing
- 42:43Speaker 2: a bubble to the fastest guy on our team. That's
- 42:45Speaker 2: how we ran our offense. Fucking can can and flipping
- 42:51Speaker 2: the play and all this, like that's just how how
- 42:53Speaker 2: it was. I'd go, Jake Hook, throw the bubble, Jacob,
- 42:56Speaker 2: We'd figure it out. We just ran backyard style of football.
- 43:00Speaker 2: But you see the comparison from that first year to
- 43:02Speaker 2: the second, and you know, I learned, I love, I
- 43:07Speaker 2: love my second year there. I learned a lot about ball,
- 43:09Speaker 2: got to be around some good guys. But just the
- 43:11Speaker 2: two contrasts, it is all about fit. And I feel
- 43:14Speaker 2: like if I had the situation I had my second
- 43:16Speaker 2: year my first, things would have gone a lot different.
- 43:18Speaker 2: You think, so, I know, so, oh.
- 43:20Speaker 3: You know, so I like that?
- 43:22Speaker 1: Yeah? I yeah.
- 43:23Speaker 3: That building, dude, I mean the only like I had
- 43:25Speaker 3: to be tough twenty fourteen Joe Thomas the best thing
- 43:28Speaker 3: in there. Yeah, I mean other than that, Like you
- 43:30Speaker 3: guys are win one two games a year.
- 43:32Speaker 2: We were seven and four going into our Thursday night
- 43:35Speaker 2: game at the break and then we lost all five
- 43:37Speaker 2: coming home. That's tough, brutal real.
- 43:40Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy how much dysfunction that there can be
- 43:42Speaker 1: with certain teams, like in the NFL.
- 43:44Speaker 3: Especially growing up, because you're like in the NFL, look
- 43:46Speaker 3: at anything that's it. You think everyone's legit, you think
- 43:49Speaker 3: everyone's a style, you think all the coaches got their
- 43:50Speaker 3: shit together. Yeah, Like you can get there and you're like, oh,
- 43:52Speaker 3: this is.
- 43:53Speaker 1: In playing it is a little bit better than playing
- 43:55Speaker 1: at Michigan playing at A and M Nebraska. Like you go,
- 43:57Speaker 1: You're like, man, this is this is what it's like
- 43:59Speaker 1: in college the operation the Obviously you're younger and you
- 44:02Speaker 1: have no clue like what they're going through as coaches
- 44:03Speaker 1: and shit, be like, oh if it's like this, like
- 44:05Speaker 1: it's only gonna be ten x this in the pros
- 44:08Speaker 1: like strength and conditioning like all this stuff, and you
- 44:11Speaker 1: get training, training room, all this stuff, and then you
- 44:14Speaker 1: kind of get there and you're like, you see that
- 44:17Speaker 1: money goes.
- 44:17Speaker 2: It's really downgraded from A and M to C.
- 44:19Speaker 1: Yeah, you see, Oh money goes to the players, not
- 44:22Speaker 1: facilities and how the players actually keep up with their
- 44:25Speaker 1: bodies and stuff like stuff like all that. It's it's nuts, man.
- 44:28Speaker 2: The NFL is a crazy The game has changed a
- 44:31Speaker 2: lot than when we were growing up kids watching the NFL.
- 44:34Speaker 2: I feel like in the last five or six years,
- 44:38Speaker 2: not only are guys playing longer just because of I
- 44:41Speaker 2: feel like the training method is certain things, but there
- 44:44Speaker 2: is a Miles Garrett type of motherfucker coming out in
- 44:46Speaker 2: the draft every single year.
- 44:49Speaker 3: It seems like every years. Oh, this guy's the best
- 44:51Speaker 3: grade in the last forty years. This guy's the best grading.

- 47:05Speaker 2: Honestly, I can't. There's something about it.
- 47:09Speaker 4: It's something about my you know, when I'm on social
- 47:12Speaker 4: media and I see I see so many kids and
- 47:17Speaker 4: young kids and dudes I know in LA that aren't
- 47:21Speaker 4: like that, you know, in the influencial world. I lived
- 47:23Speaker 4: in LA for almost seven years, so like just I
- 47:27Speaker 4: started seeing it happening, like you know, there's obviously been
- 47:30Speaker 4: a big boom, but I just.
- 47:32Speaker 2: Something about it feels slightly faulty to me. I'm just
- 47:34Speaker 2: going with my gut, like I can't. I can't really
- 47:37Speaker 2: like get behind it completely.
- 47:39Speaker 4: And my you know, my money guys would just say, hey,
- 47:41Speaker 4: you can put it a little bit.
- 47:43Speaker 2: You know, but yeah, they wouldn't advise, you know. I
- 47:45Speaker 2: asked them, like what they would advise. They'd say that
- 47:48Speaker 2: said like one to five percent.
- 47:50Speaker 1: That yeah, that's what like I want to say that
- 47:52Speaker 1: the big money firms have came out and said like, hey,
- 47:55Speaker 1: be a part of your portfolio.
- 47:57Speaker 2: I'm just we're fucking up the blockfolio ad but we.
- 48:02Speaker 3: Use yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm in that.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Ship, like.
- 48:09Speaker 2: Alex, I get it, though, I get it, you know
- 48:11Speaker 2: what I mean.
- 48:11Speaker 4: I definitely love the idea, like a decentralized thing, you know,
- 48:15Speaker 4: but I'm just super curious what like the Fed's gonna
- 48:18Speaker 4: do with it.
- 48:18Speaker 3: That's the thing that scares the ship out of me.
- 48:21Speaker 3: Two things scare me. One, if this thing starts getting
- 48:23Speaker 3: too strong America, China, these world dominators are going to
- 48:27Speaker 3: be like, you're not gonna make our dollars zero.
- 48:29Speaker 1: China's already said you can't trade boom there it is.
- 48:32Speaker 1: That's what That's what tangd this.
- 48:33Speaker 3: And then the other side of it is I'm terrified
- 48:35Speaker 3: of getting left behind, make all this money. I'm doing
- 48:38Speaker 3: real good, and then all of a sudden, there looking
- 48:40Speaker 3: at this paper, you don't mean nothing, you know what
- 48:42Speaker 3: I'm saying, Because now everyone's doing crypto, everyone's doing that.
- 48:44Speaker 3: It's kind of scary, interesting time to be laugh for sure.
- 48:49Speaker 3: It is very wild out here, dude.
- 48:51Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So back to the pot. Where were we at?
- 48:54Speaker 3: I think we're just talking any and I think it
- 48:57Speaker 3: seems like you're doing really well.
- 48:58Speaker 2: Man. Things things are things are great. I have I
- 49:01Speaker 2: have no complaints, you know, just uh fuck man, Go
- 49:04Speaker 2: play golf in the morning. I have a couple of cocktails,
- 49:06Speaker 2: hang with the boys, maybe laid by the pool. Yeah, tradefolio.
- 49:10Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, trade on.
- 49:14Speaker 4: We've had enough cocktails in the last seven days in
- 49:17Speaker 4: National this place, Fox, Nashville.
- 49:19Speaker 2: Fox, What a town. We can definitely talk about Nashville
- 49:22Speaker 2: because this place has been this.
- 49:24Speaker 4: How's your guys experience been traveling a lot? I'm probably
- 49:27Speaker 4: gonna move here. Uh we've been talking a little bit.
- 49:29Speaker 3: Yeah, well you text me back in February and I'm
- 49:31Speaker 3: moving in March first. Yeah, you've been.
- 49:35Speaker 4: One like, uh pretty, I'm as bout as close as
- 49:39Speaker 4: to nomad as you can be right now.
- 49:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 49:41Speaker 4: I uh, you know one I started. I started doing
- 49:46Speaker 4: it when when COVID happened in l A. I was
- 49:47Speaker 4: just like, I get the fuck out of here. You know,
- 49:49Speaker 4: it was very very strict there. It's just like kind
- 49:51Speaker 4: of had wanted to leave for a while. Not your
- 49:53Speaker 4: typical l A type of guy. Really everyone's wanted to
- 49:57Speaker 4: leave too, is there a long time?
- 49:58Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And it's just like it's just a certain
- 50:00Speaker 2: vibe there that.
- 50:02Speaker 1: It doesn't get my you know what I mean, doesn't
- 50:05Speaker 1: get the rock.
- 50:07Speaker 4: So so it looked that felt like an opportunity to
- 50:10Speaker 4: just and I and I kind of you know, I've
- 50:12Speaker 4: been a touring man for a long time, with tour
- 50:15Speaker 4: a lot like in the last probably you know, six
- 50:17Speaker 4: seven years. So I love being around different places and
- 50:21Speaker 4: I make music and podcastings. I do it all in
- 50:23Speaker 4: my house really so and it's fairly easy nowadays.
- 50:27Speaker 2: Like I had your buddies over there.
- 50:29Speaker 4: They came and helped us produce one of our episodes
- 50:32Speaker 4: last week and showed them our setup, like my music
- 50:35Speaker 4: set up.
- 50:36Speaker 1: To my fucking bedroom just running gone.
- 50:38Speaker 4: It's super simple, like it really is, and it's and
- 50:41Speaker 4: you can make studio quality, album quality stuff. So I
- 50:45Speaker 4: just kind of noticed as I was traveling and started
- 50:47Speaker 4: doing this, like I get new energy everywhere I go,
- 50:51Speaker 4: you know, there I get a I got a new feeling,
- 50:53Speaker 4: you know, the new things, new people. I'm seeing that
- 50:56Speaker 4: I definitely am able to channel creatively and I feel that,
- 51:00Speaker 4: you know, especially after being there seven years and making
- 51:03Speaker 4: it more or less, you know, making music in the
- 51:06Speaker 4: same three rooms.
- 51:07Speaker 2: Yeah, these two studios, I've worked in my house.
- 51:10Speaker 4: So you know, it was just it was something I
- 51:12Speaker 4: want to lean into for as long as I can.
- 51:15Speaker 2: And Nashville definitely is on top of the totem.
- 51:19Speaker 4: Poll as far as like where I would settle again,
- 51:22Speaker 4: But I'm not a huge rust to settle.
- 51:23Speaker 3: Why would you? It seems like I'm like watch and
- 51:26Speaker 3: following you guys. It seems like you guys got a
- 51:28Speaker 3: great gig going for you guys. You know, kids, you
- 51:31Speaker 3: can go figure stuff out. Well, where have you been?
- 51:33Speaker 3: You've been to Montana Scott's on here.
- 51:34Speaker 1: That seemed like the dopest spot is Montana Animals every
- 51:38Speaker 1: day and that.
- 51:41Speaker 2: Anyone. I literally didn't see anyone the entire time, and
- 51:44Speaker 2: it was awesome. It was what I wanted, you know, a.
- 51:46Speaker 3: Lack of energy. Tough though, I feel like I feel
- 51:48Speaker 3: like I've missed that a little bit, Like, well, the awesome.
- 51:50Speaker 4: Going I'm going places more or less for like two
- 51:53Speaker 4: to three months.
- 51:54Speaker 2: So so there we actually extended.
- 51:56Speaker 4: I actually only got that for like I want to say,
- 51:59Speaker 4: I started was six weeks and I extended to like
- 52:01Speaker 4: nine weeks there because we loved it. But at the
- 52:05Speaker 4: end we're like it it was really nice. It was
- 52:13Speaker 4: really really nice. And and and I'm a big I'm
- 52:15Speaker 4: a big nature guy. I've gotten a lot further down
- 52:18Speaker 4: into spirituality and just I like.
- 52:20Speaker 2: I like peace and quiet, I really do.
- 52:21Speaker 4: So I know it doesn't look like it all the time,
- 52:23Speaker 4: but yeah, just like the ying and the yang of
- 52:26Speaker 4: it both, like I like, you know, we went to Scottsdale,
- 52:29Speaker 4: which was fucking raw raw. We were going nuts. You know,
- 52:32Speaker 4: it's a super fun place Montana, you know. And then
- 52:36Speaker 4: I kind of that's kind of what we're doing in
- 52:37Speaker 4: flip Flopping. I'm also haven't toured in a few years.
- 52:40Speaker 4: So obviously as soon as this this is all kind
- 52:43Speaker 4: of calming down with COVID, you're seeing the events open
- 52:46Speaker 4: up and big crowds gathering. So I don't know if
- 52:49Speaker 4: I'll settle until after this this next week this year.
- 52:53Speaker 1: So what's the rhythm with ball don't lie?
- 52:55Speaker 2: I mean it's every it's every other week. Yeah, we're
- 52:57Speaker 2: doing bi weekly, but it's pretty much by we as
- 53:00Speaker 2: many as we can whenever we're around. You know, we
- 53:03Speaker 2: haven't really talked about doing any guests or anything because
- 53:06Speaker 2: you know, we're I would say, we're maybe moving a
- 53:09Speaker 2: little bit different than most people that are doing the
- 53:11Speaker 2: podcast of at least for me, like talking a lot
- 53:14Speaker 2: more about life and just like our experiences we're going
- 53:17Speaker 2: through it. What's helped us try and be better people
- 53:20Speaker 2: and what makes you know, maybe our life a little
- 53:23Speaker 2: easier or just trying to improve and what we're learning
- 53:27Speaker 2: as we go on. We probably talk a little bit
- 53:29Speaker 2: more deeper and you know, the most about a podcast.
- 53:32Speaker 2: But for me, I'm not trying to you know, I
- 53:33Speaker 2: never started ball On Wide to try and have a
- 53:36Speaker 2: number one podcast in the world. I never wanted this
- 53:39Speaker 2: to be my next thing that I'm doing to be
- 53:41Speaker 2: a full time job or anything.
- 53:42Speaker 1: Uh.
- 53:43Speaker 2: Something I want to have fun and share a little
- 53:45Speaker 2: bit of my message and something that you know we're
- 53:47Speaker 2: going for. You know, we've got to travel around do
- 53:49Speaker 2: something in Scottsdale here, I'm going for self sustainable broch
- 53:52Speaker 2: shit where you know, around.
- 53:54Speaker 3: My dogs and underrated that's an underrated thing to say, Yeah.

- 54:14Speaker 2: or being successful.
- 54:16Speaker 4: Trust me, I like I like to compete, you know,
- 54:19Speaker 4: like what you're saying about competition. That's actually been something
- 54:21Speaker 4: that I adam like, I adamantly work on getting rid
- 54:25Speaker 4: of that chip, like looking at life and that's bottom line,
- 54:29Speaker 4: like kind of a lot of my podcasts like you
- 54:31Speaker 4: DM and we talk about it, like a lot of
- 54:33Speaker 4: it's on like self growth because I just perspective change.
- 54:36Speaker 4: I was very very much in the athlete bubble my
- 54:39Speaker 4: whole life growing up, and and.
- 54:41Speaker 2: Just what that does to you.
- 54:42Speaker 4: What it takes to be great, you know, like to

- 54:58Speaker 2: interesting for me personally.
- 54:59Speaker 4: But I know he's like he's been on this wave
- 55:02Speaker 4: and I kind of wanted to just see people have
- 55:05Speaker 4: have people hear him talk about how we talk when
- 55:07Speaker 4: we're on a balcony in my house, like or traveling around.
- 55:10Speaker 2: We have these talks.
- 55:11Speaker 4: And I was just like, let's just do a podcast,

- 55:15Speaker 2: I want people.
- 55:16Speaker 4: Well, he came on Mind and it did really well,
- 55:19Speaker 4: and people like, dude, thanks for showing Johnny like that.

- 55:22Speaker 4: was a fucking deuce, you know, like what she's just because.
- 55:26Speaker 1: Usually people control the narrative that when you don't have
- 55:28Speaker 1: your own right and like I would never he's.

- 55:33Speaker 4: and just let's just talk how we talk, you know,
- 55:35Speaker 4: And and that's really what it leans. It leans a
- 55:38Speaker 4: lot more. It leans a lot more like kind of
- 55:41Speaker 4: guy's guy like work.
- 55:43Speaker 2: Honestly, it's like.
- 55:44Speaker 4: Trying to trying to go more down the spiritual like
- 55:47Speaker 4: path of enjoying life, and you know, like the regrets.
- 55:51Speaker 4: This is a guy who you know, I know what
- 55:53Speaker 4: I do to myself if I fuck up, and I
- 55:56Speaker 4: have one million people paying attention to watching what he had,
- 56:00Speaker 4: you know, so I'm actually inspired by people like that
- 56:03Speaker 4: who can like pick themselves up when it's tough. Man Like,
- 56:06Speaker 4: when you when you fall from graces, it's really it's
- 56:09Speaker 4: really a challenge to pick yourself up and be able
- 56:11Speaker 4: to enjoy life, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
- 56:13Speaker 4: it really is, and a lot of people are faking it,
- 56:15Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And I started to see
- 56:16Speaker 4: a shift in him personally where I was like, you're happy,
- 56:21Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like you're doing like every
- 56:22Speaker 4: day to day he was, you know at my house
- 56:24Speaker 4: in scott said day to day more happier than I was,
- 56:28Speaker 4: And you know what I'm And I had no fuck,
- 56:30Speaker 4: I didn't have these like you know, I didn't have
- 56:32Speaker 4: I never really dealt with depression or some of the
- 56:35Speaker 4: things he dealt with or at the scale he was
- 56:37Speaker 4: dealing it. And I was neighbors with him then and
- 56:40Speaker 4: I saw how he was then. So I started to
- 56:42Speaker 4: see the energy shift where it was just like man,
- 56:45Speaker 4: he had he's at peace with it, and it's it's
- 56:48Speaker 4: been inspiring to me to be for me to be
- 56:50Speaker 4: around because I know I didn't have those There were
- 56:54Speaker 4: very drastic, you know, drastic fall from graces where everyone personally,
- 56:59Speaker 4: like everyone in here. You know, it's hard sometimes it's
- 57:02Speaker 4: hard to gather better and no one's watching. No one's watching,
- 57:05Speaker 4: no one gives a ship and real shit, and like
- 57:08Speaker 4: no one's watching.
- 57:09Speaker 2: So to have a lot of people watch.
- 57:11Speaker 4: And kind of have that and break that, break that down,
- 57:16Speaker 4: break those walls down where he can be happy genuinely,
- 57:19Speaker 4: like have a comforting energy to be around, be a
- 57:21Speaker 4: nice person.
- 57:22Speaker 2: It's inspiring me. I like that.
- 57:24Speaker 1: And it's relatable because everyone says their listens like oh damn,
- 57:27Speaker 1: Like everyone goes through Yeah, sure, everyone's.
- 57:29Speaker 2: Got I mean, as much as we get hyped up,
- 57:33Speaker 2: and whether it's music or sports or whatever it is,
- 57:36Speaker 2: you're put on a pedestal when it's really not. I mean,
- 57:39Speaker 2: everybody has the same problems at home this that that
- 57:41Speaker 2: anybody across the world has. But the media and sports,
- 57:45Speaker 2: traditional media at least what we deal with in the
- 57:48Speaker 2: locker room or anything like that, doesn't pay a lot
- 57:51Speaker 2: of attention to it a lot of time a time
- 57:53Speaker 2: in it. I think the mainstream media almost dehumanizes people
- 57:57Speaker 2: more and puts you on just strictly athlete and what
- 57:59Speaker 2: it is. Yeah, the cool thing about the way media
- 58:01Speaker 2: shiftings now is this is media. This is your platform,
- 58:06Speaker 2: your This is your own platform to talk the way
- 58:08Speaker 2: you want to talk, get your message out because I
- 58:11Speaker 2: guarantee you after a game or this or that you
- 58:14Speaker 2: get back in the car and drive home. At least
- 58:16Speaker 2: for me back in the day, I'd always think about
- 58:17Speaker 2: different things I would want to say, or this or that,
- 58:20Speaker 2: or getting done with a sporting event where you lose
- 58:22Speaker 2: your immediate reaction going into the fucking podium in the
- 58:25Speaker 2: locker room with your fucking suit on, sweating like a
- 58:28Speaker 2: fucking pigs like yeah, bro through three fucking picks and
- 58:33Speaker 2: we lost thirty to nothing.
- 58:34Speaker 3: Like yeah, do you think my way?
- 58:40Speaker 2: So like the whole the whole thing is kind of
- 58:42Speaker 2: like shifting and just changing to where you can tell
- 58:45Speaker 2: your story the way you want to. And I think
- 58:48Speaker 2: hearing you say earlier about like getting on Twitter and
- 58:50Speaker 2: seeing certain things. I've used the app button on Twitter
- 58:54Speaker 2: to see what people say to me, right, I've used
- 58:56Speaker 2: to it just people in my mentions, whether it's random
- 59:00Speaker 2: fans or all this. Yeah, I've used that to over
- 59:05Speaker 2: the last year find what still makes me pissed off. So,
- 59:10Speaker 2: for example, find something that I used to be a
- 59:13Speaker 2: reactor on Twitter. You say something to me, I'm waiting
- 59:15Speaker 2: for the opportunity.
- 59:16Speaker 3: You gottammo, you got am on everybody.
- 59:18Speaker 2: I'm ready to go. My favorite thing now I use
- 59:22Speaker 2: it as that hit me and made me feel some
- 59:24Speaker 2: type of way. Why does that make me feel that
- 59:27Speaker 2: way anymore? Why do I feel like that in my
- 59:29Speaker 2: head or in my heart that makes me want to
- 59:32Speaker 2: get mad at this person, want to say something back
- 59:35Speaker 2: or react negatively or something that I'm going to regret.
- 59:38Speaker 2: And I think I've used a lot of that and
- 59:40Speaker 2: the negativity and the hate that I've had towards me
- 59:42Speaker 2: to work on things that I didn't necessarily like about
- 59:45Speaker 2: myself or I needed to fix or didn't even know
- 59:47Speaker 2: bothered me.
- 59:48Speaker 3: For the process that people are listening to this going fuck,
- 59:51Speaker 3: I deal with that all the time. So when you
- 59:53Speaker 3: see something that makes you upset, what's the process you
- 59:56Speaker 3: go through to get rid of those that feeling inside?
- 59:58Speaker 2: I've I used to be a the same fast twitch
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: where I was on the football field, I was in
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: every aspect of my head throughout my life. I see something,
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: I react right away. Yeah, my biggest thing is just
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: to take back and look at it and just kind
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: of whether I type it out immediately and something that
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: I'm not gonna send, I review it, I look back
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: at it. I make sure that that's how I want
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: to interact with people. And I'm the biggest believer these
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: days and positivity and good fucking vibes. I have no
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: reason to be mad at anybody anymore. I've let a
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: lot of the hate out of my heart go from
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: the past of whoever I felt wrong me or this
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: or that, or the guy on ESPN who's telling me
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: I'm a fucking bomb. Right, Yeah, but you hit Johnny.
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: The biggest thing is you've hit it yourself for a for.
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: A long time. I mean nobody, you don't, at least
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: for me. I beat myself up more than anybody in
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: the media or anybody outside the world ever could have
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: every day to the point of where I was questioned
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: in my life if it was worth it was this,
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: And it got to a point of where I never
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: thought I'd have a good sunny day. Yeah, I didn't
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: know if I'd have a day where I was ever
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: happy again. So I look at it now and looking
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: on my phone and we're talking about that is I
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: have so much sense of gratitude for even being where
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: I'm at and being able to even continue on through
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: life that I'm able to slow down and kind of
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: sit back and just relax and look at things in
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: the bigger picture. You know, I try not, I try
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: my best. I still fail daily and weekly to handle
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: every situation correctly because I got my I got my things,
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: I got my morals, I got my value. You know
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: what I'm like, you cross them? My dad says to
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: slap that motherfucker in the mouth when I was a kid,
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: and that's just the way I was raised. If you
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: crossed your line, does this, X, Y, and Z. Yeah,
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: that's just how I was. And now I'm getting better
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: at it. It's a work in progress, but more socially aware,
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: and I treat people the way that I won't want
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: to be treated for the most part, and if I don't,
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: if I try to apologize and make sure it doesn't
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: happen again moving forward, it could all be so simple
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: if you allow your mind to believe it.
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: That's very cool.
- 1:01:58Speaker 7: Football is like a football elswell said, by the way, Yeah,
- 1:02:02Speaker 7: you like that, But dude, football is I mean to
- 1:02:06Speaker 7: be to be great at what y'all do.
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: It just takes so much aggression. And you know what
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: I mean, really wired. You guys are wired different, bro, Yeah,
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: fucking trenches. I try to We played you guys.
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: Yeah, your first away never was against the Titans. Congratulations,
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: thank you very much. Yeah, that was awesome. I was outstanding.
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: We're a tough flight home. I'll tell you that. It
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: was a tough flight home for the boys.
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: I figured everybody would want to get the hell out
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: of cleaning.
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: Yeah, at that point, I was like, give me the
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: funk out of here. That's tough.
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: But you're just savage, you know what I mean, Like
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: you're I appreciate that, and but you're wired in a
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: certain way where that's why you are.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: That's why you're so great.
- 1:02:49Speaker 4: You're obviously God's gifted and talent and size that's rare.
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: Yeah, forty three forty three hundred dolls, dude, hopefully one
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: of them got my back. Dude, that's pretty solid. But
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: I just don't that's it's tough, dude. Like having the
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: mindset you talk about all the time of being like
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: competitive and yeah, like we were bred the same way.
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: If you play football at a young age, it's kind
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: of like you fucking scratch and claw, and you keep
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: going until that guy quits before you. And if you quit,
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: you're a bitch. You gotta do something different. And it's
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: like the whole ego thing is so difficult for me
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: to wrap my mind around, and I tussle with it
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: all the time because it's like I read books like
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: Egos the Enemy by Ryan hall Day. It's a great
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: book if anybody wants to read that. That's a solid
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: book to like kind of catch yourself up on, like
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: what's really should be ego because ego is not a
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: bad thing if you use it in the right way. Yeah,
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: I know, it's It's well, self improvement is the most
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: important thing. And I wish I knew that when I
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: was twenty one, twenty two. You know what I'm saying,
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: things that bugged me wouldn't bugged me. Is like they
- 1:03:42Speaker 3: don't bug me as much anymore. I still get upset
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: about stuff when people say things, but like, at the
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: end of the day, no one knows. And it's so
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: weird how like the Twitter thing is because if someone
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: tweets the me, he goes, you're a dogshit husband, you'r
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: a dog shit dad. It's like to me, I'm like,
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: say whatever you want because they don't know me. But
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: the minute someone say you're a bad football player, I'm
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: like fuck because they get to watch me every Sunday
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: and like that do they know that I don't, you know?
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: And so I've like tussled with this ego thing for
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: so long and yeah, like pregame, like during the game,
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: like that's who I am, a primitive fight or flight
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: like I'm a fighter, Like that's that that allows me
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: to display that. But you know, when if things, when
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: do you stop looking at things? Is ego? I got
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: to be better than everybody? Then start looking at things objectively,
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: like how do I accomplish this goal without having to
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: frustrate or upset everybody else around me to get the
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: thing done? And that's what I've like this last six months.
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: We talked about it a few times with this ACL dude,
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: this it's fucking brutal. I don't even want to go outside.
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: I don't want to go outside. I don't want to
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: do stuff. I wake up, I get up in the morning,
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: I'm like, I gotta go tussle with this again. The
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: first time I really went and did anything social in
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: the last six months was at that Preds game.
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: And even when I'm at the Preds game chugging the beer,
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: thank you very much, I'm a colleg yeah, and I
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: was like, okay, yeah, I felt bad. I did feel
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: like back to life.
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: I did.
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: But even when I was drinking the beer, dude, my
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: only thought was don't drink this beer because if you do,
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: that's inflammation. Then your needs this and that. So I
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: just poured that thing all over me. Didn't consume one
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: of it.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: Wow, one ounce, That's crazy, that was your thought them.
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: It's just it's wild how it consumes you and watching
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: your process of what you go through. Just because our
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: successes have looked different in the NFL doesn't mean I
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: don't battle the same thing as you do. Every single
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: NFL player deals with that, whether they want to admit
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: it or not. So when I'm going through and I
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: see that, I know that it's possible for me to
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: now change my mindset when I get out of there,
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: because the way I live it's so obsessive and it's
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: so like focused on football. Everything is like how could
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: I maximize this? And then when I'm done, like I
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: had to make a big one eighty otherwise it's not sustainable.
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: It's great. It's great that you're like that, though. Yeah,
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: that's the first step is getting is getting your mind
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: to allow allow it to think that way. And maybe
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: a lot of it's just the youth and and like
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: maybe the football growing up, but maybe it's just just
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: being young and getting to a point of where maybe
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: you're everybody reaches the point and maybe where they're able
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: to start having their mind go to that point where
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: they can begin to understand it a little bit. People
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: asking all the time, I'm like, I don't know if
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: there's one single thing that happened that made me look
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: at it any differently. It's just life kind of started
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: working in a way where my mind started thinking this
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: and I just grabbed onto it and fucking held on
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: for dear life. And now I've got people around me,
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: and I surround myself for the first time with people
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: who are like minded and get it, and you know,
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: we're all going in a collective type of way with
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: the goal of trying to be better. Is it's it's
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: it's it's really.
- 1:06:41Speaker 4: I think there's a shift happening though, And I mean, dude,
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: I didn't grow up like I didn't think about any
- 1:06:46Speaker 4: of this ship.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: I just trying to fuck as many girls I could still.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: Be the best in our sports.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: It hasn't hasn't changed much there.
- 1:06:56Speaker 4: To go to the bar, you know what I mean,
- 1:07:00Speaker 4: Like just the idea of like I just know, like
- 1:07:04Speaker 4: it actually gets it actually gets me out of bed,
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: It gets that gets my rocks off to like think
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: that I'm I'm seeing things on a bigger scale and
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: it's not. I realized, Like bro, I think most of
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: us walking the streets, like athlete or not, you're so
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: immersed in your own bubble, like think you can zoom
- 1:07:21Speaker 4: out a little bit, you know what I mean. And
- 1:07:23Speaker 4: that's what it feels like, zooming out just like okay,
- 1:07:26Speaker 4: like this isn't who I am, Like I'm not, I'm
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: not I'm not my last mistake, I'm not my last thought,
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Like that there's a bigger
- 1:07:35Speaker 4: that's That's what it feels like to me.
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: And that's where I feel like Johnny's gone down that path.
- 1:07:40Speaker 4: And I think most people like my stuff and listen
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: to some of my stuff that I'm talking about.
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: I'm not going from a preaching perspective. I'm just saying, dude,
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: I was the opposite.
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: I was such a you know, I wasn't outwardly egotistical,
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: like oh I'm the man fun you know, but like
- 1:07:54Speaker 4: in my head, it was all about me, every relationship,
- 1:07:57Speaker 4: how I reacted to my girl, you know what I mean,
- 1:08:00Speaker 4: even the way I was thinking about things just.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: Not I just realized at one point I was like, dude, everything.
- 1:08:06Speaker 4: I really think everything revolves around me all the time,
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: and it's not.
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: It's not the case. You know. If I would have
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: wrote down my character traits of how I treated people
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: and what I was doing at my time in the
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: league twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, it would have been just
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: a horrendous list of not even doing it by accident.
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: But like Mike's saying, just thinking things revolve around me
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: and things are supposed to go this way. How the
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: way I was living my life was just so shallow
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: and closed minded and narrow minded to the point now
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: of like like I said earlier, can it can be simple.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be this cluttered, crazy rat race
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: to get to the end goal of what just and
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: live your life? And we talk about this all the time,
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: is I'm chasing happiness, and that's one thing that I'm
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: chasing in my life. I got more than I need,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: still hungry to go and try and get more. But
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: at the same time, I'm chasing putting more smiles on
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: my face every year than I did last year.
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: Yees go, how do you think you chase happiness?
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: Though? Man, I'm starting to be honest with myself probably
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: and what I like to do. You know, for a
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: long time in my life, like I said earlier, I
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: didn't like doing much of anything. Going and picking a
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: football up didn't make me happy. Going and riding a
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: dirt bike or doing this, or going to blake or
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: doing any of that. Golf didn't all. None of this
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: stuff really really made me happy anymore. So now me
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: and him play fucking beer pong all the time. I
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: haven't won a game since I've been in Nashville, got it,
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: but it gives me my competitive edge. Is something I
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: love to do. I love little bar games. I played darts.
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: I'm up two hundred and fifty bucks a day. I'm
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: making money and playing bar games. And it's just like
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: I'm starting to see different things in my life that
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: are really coming back. I'm almost reverting back to my childhood.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: I guess I would say I'm finding more things that
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: I didn't know that I liked that I did growing up.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: I'm slowly starting to get back to it. Like second
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: week into Nashville, we're in the country, going, playing golf,
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: doing things. Is being away from people. I'm like, man,
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: I love this again. I want to start doing this.
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: And you know, luckily where I'm out of my life.
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: You know, I'm not married, no girl, solo, fucking ranger
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: out here trying to take on the world. So you know,
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: I have the luxury to be able to kind of
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: just do what I want to do and find what
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: makes me happy. Now, if you had to ask me
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: this a year ago, i'd have told you I don't
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: fucking know.
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like it's like enjoying like just the
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: small things that like bring you joy. Because when you
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: when you when you say that, I'm like, and I
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: get this from like the book we were on self awareness,
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: because a lot of this shit we're talking about is
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: like self awareness perspective. And it's like the way they
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: talk about it in the book is like happiness is
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: on cause like how can you acquire something that you
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: you innately already have, and ultimately, at the end of
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: the day, it's more so realizing that you've got to
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: drop a bunch of ill illusions that we labor ourselves with,
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: like football player, all this stuff that we think revolves
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: so much around us. It's more like dropping those illusions.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: But ultimately it seems like we're like saying the same
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: stuff because I'm like, I've heard you say that too,
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: and I'm like, how do you chase happiness? So you
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: explained that, you explained it to I was like, Okay.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: You spend more time with yourself by yourself throughout a
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: day than you do anybody else, your wife, whoever it
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: may be. You spend probably more time in your own
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: head with yourself twenty four hours a day, seven days
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: a fucking week. If you can't fucking be honest with yourself,
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: how are you gonna be honest with other people around it?
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: And I think that's where self awareness with me has
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: come from, is man, I felt like I used to
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: be a guy that would lie and I lied to
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: myself about you know, what I saw through my eyes
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: or what was going on or whatever. But when I
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: started to truly be honest with myself. It's worthy acceptance
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: of not really loving football, and this came and not
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: wanting to do that. It all came from just being like,
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: you feel this way, be honest with yourself about it,
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: embrace it and let it be what it is. And
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: from that I felt like I continue to achieve more
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: self awareness through that. It starts yourself honesty.
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.
- 1:11:53Speaker 4: Oh not the conversation you thought Johnny Maanzel was gonna
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: come on and have.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: But here we are.

- 1:14:31Speaker 3: Verbal's all right, I'm not on the Titan.

- 1:14:39Speaker 2: We love him. You give him, Julio, what the weapons
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: you guys already have? I think you, uh, how could

- 1:14:46Speaker 1: I mean you got Derek Henry at two thousand yard
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: rusher an O line like they have a j Brown
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: Julio Jones on the other side, Tannehill delivering the rock.
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: Anthony firkser, Oh yeah, don't sleep on for guys.

- 1:15:00Speaker 3: he has like a one four ten split dude, Yeah, yeah, sure.
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: What's your take on this?
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: I don't think it's it's Cam Newton is the best
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: player to ever lace them up.
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: As take unpopular opinions, I think, I mean, you're arguably
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: that Tim Tebow's arguably.
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: That I said it took a bow to I was
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: gonna say I took a national championship to be considered
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: the go to college football I would I would think
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: that would would have to be fair.
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: That's a fair that's a fair statement.
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: Reggie Bush definitely gets a bad shake because he took
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: a little money in college.
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: Jesus, he did what.
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: He did what every college football player wants. They all
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: want to get like, oh, hey, we you know, am
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: I going to be recruited high enough to give me
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: a little vehicle?
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: Mean? This is this is the whole thing that, hopefully
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: in the next couple of years changes in college football is.
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: And these guys come from nowhere to get a chance
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: to go play football. And guys are coming up to you,
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: you know, offering you money or this and that. This
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: is more money than you've ever seen in your life
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: your family has in their bank account. Tell them you're
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: gonna punish this kid because of that, because maybe his
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: family got a Malibu beach house while he was playing
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: at USC or whatever. But hey, some players, some players
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: are better than others. If you fucking ran the rock
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: like Reggie Bush should have fucking two malibui, I don't.
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: Think that's a bad thing at all. I was praying
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: to the gods I would get some money in college.
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: I would did I go check that mailbox? Goddamn another
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: bill I was hoping for. I wanted something.
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: But even at Michigan bro.
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: I caught myself a couple of like free meals. Every
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: once in a while, I go pay a tab and
- 1:16:38Speaker 3: they'd be like, now, don't worry about it.
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: Oh line. In any college locker room or NFL locker room,
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: it's funny. For the most the O linemen that I
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: feel like I've been around, they're always about the free meal,
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: the free.
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: Get that free Shoot, that's all I got it. If
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: I ever got something it was like a free meal,
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: like some waffle fries and a chicken sandwich, I'd be like, hell, yeah,
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: let me get that tab, I guess, and they're like, no,
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: don't worry about it. And I'm like walking the class
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: like I'm a fucking gangster. I'm out here breaking NCAA violations.
- 1:17:05Speaker 3: No problem for some waffle fries. But you hear about
- 1:17:08Speaker 3: like Matthew Stafford getting five hundred thousand dollars in his
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: mailbox and.

- 1:23:48Speaker 3: shoutouts around here. Boys.
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: Man, you crushed it.
- 1:23:52Speaker 3: You crushed that way. I was nervous. I know you
- 1:23:54Speaker 3: are kind of the four of us getting a good friendship,
- 1:23:56Speaker 3: and I was like, don't ruin it now. Yeah.
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: I respect that for keeping the highlighting there. My only
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: critique would be, as he gets into making the examples,
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: we just go ahead and lower it. Because he was
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: he was hitting those middle ones. We might not get
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: to this.
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: Come for dash of ball. That was that was trash.
- 1:24:13Speaker 3: That is it's more position there. He knows the boy
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: can't read that. This is the best routing I've done
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: in a while too. If you guys go back, Thank you.
- 1:24:24Speaker 3: Very much a lot. We had a couple more things.
- 1:24:26Speaker 3: Are these the questions that were put out on Twitter? No,
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: we didn't get oh Man touched on most.
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: Of the stuff there.
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: Twitsch kind of ruthless like that. Which quarterback will make
- 1:24:36Speaker 3: the biggest impact this year? Which quarterback will make the
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: bigges impact this year? Johnny, it's a great question.
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: I don't know who's going to start. I guess Trevor
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: Lawrence is going to start for sure. I would not,
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: you know, put my money on the fucking Jets, so
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: any of the other I would. I would say Trevor Lawrence.
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: I like Trevor Lawrence the most out of this class.
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: I think the guy's stud Jacksonville's got to be good eventually.
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: Huh yeah, keep a lot of it.
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: You still keep up with, like watching the quarterbacks and
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: all that time.
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: I'm definitely more of a college football fan. I I uh,
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: I'm definitely more of a fan these days. I don't
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: necessarily have a team other than watch A and M
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: and support my guys there. But you know, I'm a
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: fan of you know, the real of the guys who
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: like us come on the boss and hang out and
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: do that. But you know, I did get a chance
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: to watch a lot of these guys plays. I think,
- 1:25:26Speaker 2: you know, probably the best situation will probably have to
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: be Mac Jones. I mean, if one program is like
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: the other, isn't New England more you know, like Alabama
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: than than anywhere else.
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: But Mac Jones had to compute Cam Newton.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: Yeah, but he might be in a good situation because
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: you don't know how to I think.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: I think Justin Field will probably get thrown into the
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: fire a little bit, and uh in Chicago, and and
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: then you got Trey Lance and San Francisco is probably
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: gonna get the wait half a season and the probably
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: be thrown in there as well. So the guy who's
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: gonna start from opening days is probably has to be
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Maybe's that Wilson. I don't know who else.
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: They haven't uh getting rid of Darnold. I think he
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: has to start. Huh yeah, pit second pick. You know
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: in New York you want him to be your savior
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: and lead you back to the to the playoffs. I mean,
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: do you think you'd have to get him in there early?
- 1:26:14Speaker 3: Do you think? Uh? You think Tim Tebow is gonna
- 1:26:16Speaker 3: make it make the team in Jacksonville.
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: I would be uh. I would be surprised if he
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: went from playing quarterback to uh to making the team
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: as a tight end. But I will say this, I
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: would be very, very stupid to ever doubt and say
- 1:26:31Speaker 2: that Tim Tebow can't do something. I am a huge
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: t Bow guy. I go to the Heisman every year
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: because I don't fucking play football anymore and every other
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: guy does. So it's Teebo and me and we're next
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: to each other every year that I've been and he's
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: a legend, stand up guys, definitely a lot different than me.
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: It's funny as hell when you turn on ESPN the Heisman,
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: it's him sitting there like this and it's me a
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: couple of bud lights in so sorry so but uh,
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: you know, I would think, you know, Urban being his guy.
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: He didn't. He didn't sign him and put him the
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: position to not make the team. So I would love
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: to see a jump ass.
- 1:27:09Speaker 3: That'd be bad as if he did that.
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: I would love to see him come back. I mean,
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: I remember the last memory of t Bow in the
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: NFL for me is uh is I feel like the
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: game winner to the Marius Thomas on the slant against
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: the Steelers in the playoffs. You know, that's all. That's all.
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: That's a playoff win that. You know, a lot of
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: other quarterbacks who are making a lot of money, you know,
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: can't say that they have under their belt.
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: No pain. It's hard to bet against Tebow. You're right,
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. He's got like the dudes about it.
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: It's like huge, he's jacked, he's strong, he's athletic enough,
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: like the guy obviously wants to if he's doing this,
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: he wants to go in there and grind it out
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: and try and get better. The hardest thing I think
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: is that's a lot of years off. I'm really getting,
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: no doubt, no doubt, hat placement and getting your right
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: hand around the block on an outside zone type of thing.
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: I don't think that's what he's in there for. But
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: you also can't have a one dimensional tight end in
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: the NFL where he just runs routes and does things
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: like that. And I'm I think, I don't know a
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: tight end game in the NFL has changed as drastically
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: as any position in the league. I feel like just
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: there's some real motherfuckers running routes at tight end right now,
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: Like the guy in Oakland Waller guy is unbelievable. They're
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: just getting bigger, faster, and quicker, and their catch radiuses
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: are huge. I never really saw a team I as
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: being that huge guy who will go out and make
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: some plays. But I think, you know, I hope he
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: makes it.
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: He's going there to fucking block to like taking shots
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: in the mouth against these freakds like Miles Garrett.
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: Everyone want a wide fucking nine technique and I'm fucking
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: playing tight end for my first game. Like the fuck
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: wants to go block down you're a quarterback, I don't.
- 1:28:49Speaker 3: I hate having to block a wide nine with a
- 1:28:51Speaker 3: tight end. That's brutal. I'm like, you know, that's tough.
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: Fucking those d ns are hard, dude. You put a
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: guy that's like relatively the same weight, the tight ends
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: have a hard job.
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: Like like, get him off the ball a little bit,
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: give me a little chip, let me help my tackle
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: out out on the flat and catch the ball. Let
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: Tebo do his thing. I think that's a no brainer,
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: no brainer. But as far as like stretching the field
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: vertical and doing some things that you have to do
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: in the NFL, it's a tight end position. Gets asked
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: to do a fucking.
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: Lot, and nerver Meyer's offense is not a whole lot
- 1:29:19Speaker 3: of not running a lot of tight ends out there,
- 1:29:21Speaker 3: not only twelve, a lot of thirteen. I mean, if
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: he's gonna run the same thing he did Ohio State
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: or anywhere else, he's been right all day long, and
- 1:29:28Speaker 3: so now then Tebow has to be a receiving tight end,
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: We kind of shocked by the outrage over the signing.
- 1:29:37Speaker 3: I was going to ask you about that.
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: I've been really shocked about it.
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: I mean, are you surprised though the outrage?
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: This is the world is getting really really, really really
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: fucking soft and it's changing a lot. And the fact
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: that like it's just wild, wild times Tebow went, did
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: his TV did his thing. He's always been in the
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: good graces. The guy's never said a bad word about
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: anybody that I know of in general life. Ever. Guy's
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: been stand up, stop playing ball, didn't get another opportunity,
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: went and did his TV stuff, did a base job day,
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: did the baseball thing. People were pissed at him because
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: he was taking a roster spot there. Hey, newsflash, sometimes
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: people get things that they may not be directly in
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: line for but it happens. It's big business. Shit happens.
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: Get over it.
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: It's also networking too.
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, if anybody else other than Urban Meyer gets
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: that job, t Bo's not there, he's not there. But
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: it works that way. Hey, those guys win one, two
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: national titles. They're still friends. This day. Before Erban got
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: the job, I saw him in Scottsdale playing golf one day,
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: and you know, you can tell just what kind of
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: guy he's been the same guys from when I you know,
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: knew Urban from my time in college and got to
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: be around him a little bit. Like he's just loyal
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: to his guys. I guarantee you a lot of people
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: on that staff and Jacksonville are going to be former Gators,
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: former Ohio State and and that's the same with any
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: coach in the NFL. Rabel where to go to a
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: different spot right now, brings these guys with them every time,
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: and every coach in the league does. Everybody's got their
- 1:31:10Speaker 2: boys that come on and get another three year, four
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: million dollar deal. That's guaranteed even if you're even your
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: type of thing. So guys are loyal to their guys.
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: It is what it is if you're a good bro.
- 1:31:22Speaker 3: Anyway, Rabel secretary stretches everywhere, wheel goes. Yeah, no question, Yeah,
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: Rabel just fuck?
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: Is he the guy? The man?
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: He fucks got to be the alpha in the room.
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: Have you challenged that?
- 1:31:43Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't go well because.
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: It doesn't work out in your way.
- 1:31:47Speaker 3: He says like things that aren't funny. But then it's like, well,
- 1:31:50Speaker 3: well maybe if you bought that guy on third down.
- 1:31:52Speaker 3: I'm like, well, dude, hey, listen talking about a sack
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: right now.
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: We had them on like I wasn't on the team.
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: I was. Yeah, he murdered Will and we're both we're
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: both sitting here. I think when I say it was
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: in July of nineteen, so I was just chilling of rage,
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: just bodying me up, and there's like, will you gotta
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: say something? I'm like, what do I fucking say? Because
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: I know I was, like, I didn't play a whole
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: lot for him, so he can body bag me even
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: more if I want to come after tough to watch.
- 1:32:17Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, your friends, you hit by a car over
- 1:32:19Speaker 3: and over again.
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: You're gonna last up over again.
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: First he hit that poor bastard, and anytime Taylors are
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: around each other, like when we are on the team together,
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: like he's got his jokes in front of everybody.
- 1:32:30Speaker 3: Yeah, he loves bringing he loves this podcast. He loves
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: bringing it up. He's one of the loves bringing it
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: up in team meetings. And then he loves saying I
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: don't give a shit about your podcast, but then why
- 1:32:39Speaker 3: do you keep bringing it up?
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: And yeah, we'd be late in the year and he'd
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: be like, let's check on what are social media managers
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: up to today and pull my ship up. You're sitting
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: their asshole tight, like god, I hope the boys laugh.
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: Were just talking about the kids, the victory they had
- 1:32:52Speaker 3: to beat the Ravens.
- 1:32:53Speaker 2: It seems like you guys have a good dynamic in
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: the locker room though. It seems like dude fucking having
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: a blast out there. And that's fun. That's fun to
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: see from That's what afar. That's just me turning around
- 1:33:02Speaker 2: the game on fucking Sundays and being that also helps
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: when Derek Henry runs the ball like a fucking freight
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: tri Yes bro.
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: Twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. Two of the more miserable years
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: of my life three and two and fourteen from recently
- 1:33:14Speaker 3: and then, but like the locker room we got, like
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: the dudes we have, you would love it you going
- 1:33:20Speaker 3: there and knowing like I don't know, I feel like
- 1:33:23Speaker 3: people care, but like not enough to like get on.
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: You can be whoever you want there. Everyone's gonna accept you.
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: Our locker room's dope, the broough Ship's nice.
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: A lot of different characters in the UH. In the
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: locker Room House, Tannehill been fitting in compared to like
- 1:33:38Speaker 2: Mariota and the guys.
- 1:33:39Speaker 3: He owned that thing as soon as he was starting.
- 1:33:41Speaker 3: I remember, I don't remember who his first start was.
- 1:33:43Speaker 3: It was after the Broncos game. I remember who we
- 1:33:45Speaker 3: played after that, but I remember walking in. Him and
- 1:33:47Speaker 3: Arthur Smith are sitting at a table by themselves, and
- 1:33:49Speaker 3: I walked by him and Tannehill's like, I don't want
- 1:33:51Speaker 3: this play. Take this out, I want this change this
- 1:33:54Speaker 3: to a like he's like telling Arthur what he's like,
- 1:33:57Speaker 3: what he likes and doesn't like. And for me, I'm like,
- 1:33:59Speaker 3: that fires me up up because I know when you're
- 1:34:01Speaker 3: calling that play, the OC knows that he likes it.
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: He knows he likes it. He knows where the ball
- 1:34:05Speaker 3: is going. Relative, and so he's been awesome.
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: Dude.
- 1:34:09Speaker 3: The guy is the guy's top notch. I'm a huge
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: fan of his.
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: I think had to be happy to see Marriotta ball
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: a little bit last year.
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: Dude.
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: Yeah, we both committed to Oregon at the exact same time.
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: We were in the same camp together and then kept
- 1:34:23Speaker 2: in touch over the years, and he really is a legend,
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: top notch. Classy fucking dude.
- 1:34:28Speaker 3: Classy dude. He's another one of those guys like doesn't
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: say a bad thing about anybody, works super hard, got
- 1:34:36Speaker 3: a got a bad deal with the Titans.
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:34:38Speaker 3: I think he's going to be successful. I just it
- 1:34:40Speaker 3: was just tough here for whatever reason. I don't know
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: if he got in his own head or I think
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: he had a lot of success here that he's had
- 1:34:48Speaker 3: memorable games coming back against Kansas City playoff win, Like,
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: he's going to have things that Titans fans remembers him forever.
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: But I think two maybe next year, two three years
- 1:34:59Speaker 3: from now, he's going to be a starting quarterback. He's
- 1:35:00Speaker 3: gonna be a stunt.
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: I agree. I mean he's probably in that time, will
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: probably be around the age we are right now. Maybe
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: thirty years old, he's got five six, seven, eight years
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: a good football left. I've always been a big fan
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: of him. The guy. The guy can really fucking move,
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: He's make good money. He's a great fucking dude. I've
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: loved the time I've got to be around him. So,
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: you guys had a bunch of different ocs over.
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: The first couple of years when he was here, hit
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: a different whatever year.
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it's that's the hardest thing that a lot
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: of people don't know about the NFL. Being a young
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: guy and him coming from Oregon this and this just
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: happens with spread offenses. Coming from college to what we
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: do in the NFL. You don't do a ton of
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: stuff with protections or you know, you get to the league,
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: I need to know exactly why you're squeezing down and
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: this guy comes free, or if you're going to kick
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: out to it and this guy's gonna come and hit
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: me in my childs. There's just the level of football
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: knowledge you have to have is just something you don't
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: necessarily get from a Reid option spread kind of offense.
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: And if you get a young guy and you're changing
- 1:36:01Speaker 2: offensive coordinators, you know, every single year learning new verbiage
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: and terminology. It's it's historically tough on any young guy
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: who comes from that situation.
- 1:36:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's why Tannehill's had so much success
- 1:36:15Speaker 3: here is did He just seems like he's got he knows.
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: You guys are running here. Tannehill was running the first
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: day when I got to Texas A and M really
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: so well Coach Sherman. Mike Sherman was our head coach,
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: and we were running red Jet two and three jet
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: same play pass to hold the exact same he is gangster.
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: And then when he got drafted, he went to Miami
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: and his offensive coordinator was Mike Sherman. He has been
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: in the exact same system pretty much for almost his
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: entire time, and and he was really really good at
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: it when we were at A and M and I
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: was sucking my thumb in the back of a fucking
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: meeting room. And I'm sure he's only gotten better now
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: because so he's a smart dude.
- 1:36:52Speaker 3: He gets the thing out too. As an offensive lineman,
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: you get that ball out, that's love. Has been a
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: couple of times like, hey, I appreciate you. You're whiff
