  Speaker 2: You less than schedule release day in the NFL. Wow,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: there's a few things.
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: There's a few things in sports that interest me less,
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: like pitchers and catchers reporting.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: As a handful of things.
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: Recently, NFL teams made it slightly better than zero when
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: they put out these funny videos and yeah, I.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Remember I watched, I rewatched it. Titans released videos.
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: He knows which teams is which, except of course for
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: the Tennessee Titans.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: But by the way, speaking of the Titans, Mike, you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: said yesterday Jets Titans Week one, Robert Sala revenge game,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and he was right. It is Jets and Titans Week one.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Again that no one cares about. No one cares about
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: his revenge.
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: I mean, so it's it's interesting you bring that up
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: because I have a question for Taylor about that that
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: particular game. Taylor, is this the rare Week one must
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: win game or become a laughing stock?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: The Commissioner of Sports, Just so you know, I've made
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: him the Commissioner of sports.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: He u He eliminates teams.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: From from postseason contention in the Major League fourteen games
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: into the season. He is the ruler of all fakes sports.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: That's why Mikey's asking him.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: So, Mikey, bring that, bring that back to my table.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: What what is the ruling?
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: Okay, so it's Jets at Titans Week one Jets facing
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: Robert Sala. Okay, is it the rare Week one must
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: win game or become a laughing stock.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: So this is my approved stamp. I'm taking that. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: see the filing.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Approved.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Wow, I mean a fake that he had a fake
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: pen and a fake piece of paper and now he's got.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: A fake stamp and a fake thing that he's stamping
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: it on, which is.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: Steadying because he holds the stamp the way you should
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: a penner pencil, and he holds the penner pencil the
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: way you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Should have stamped.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: But you know it's neither here nor there.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Taylor put it on the poll.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Does anyone care about Robert Sala's revenge? Because I aint
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that no one was. I don't think we were done
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: with Is these thoughts on schedule release? Where were you?
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: No?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: Almost, because I had a question for you guys, because
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: they now have a Thanksgiving Eve game?
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Is this the first of its kind?
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: It is the first of its kind.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: Do you think the NFL is trying to create another holiday?
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: Because I don't know when Christmas Eve started, but it's
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: not Christmas. It's the day before Christmas? So why was
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: that a holiday?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: In our minds?
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: I feel like thirty years from now, we're going to
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: look back to twenty twenty six and say, yeah, the
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: NFL they started this Thanksgiving Eve thing.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: Correct me if I'm wrong, though, Thanksgiving Eve is a
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: pretty big holiday where you go out to your hometown bars.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: I think this is a day where the NFL is
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: seeing that people are already gathering and if you put
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: football on, they're already at bars.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: They're gonna watch these No, it's a big day. It is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows. Wednesday night, go out, get hammered, you can
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: sleep in.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have You're gonna watch football and any turkey
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: for for the remainder of the day. I think what
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: is he is saying, though, is it doesn't have an
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: official tight.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: They'll give it one.
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: They'll give it one and and honestly, the NFL came
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: out swinging. I don't know, Stu, have you seen what
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: the Thanksgiving schedule, the Thanksgiving week schedule is Because the
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: NFL went big and they did it. Also, Okay, okay,
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: Thanksgiving Eve Packers at Rams.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: That's big.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Game.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That's a good game on a Wednesday. Wait and Wednesday
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: or they they have to be playing. They get a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: bye week before.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: Right, My guess is they have a bye week the
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: week before, or they'll play Thursday night the week before.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Something like that. Anything.
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, then you get to Thanksgiving. Okay, you wake up,
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: you start your day.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Because it's huge holiday where everybody gets wasted.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: I did not know this.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, Bears go out, you go out, you get hammered,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you sleep in, you wake up to what Mikey, what's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the first game?
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Bears at Lions?

• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, that's football. That's I mean really, Bears and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Lions put it on the pole tailor.
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: But this is where the schedule release gets me, Like,
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: would you be shocked if the Lions were terrible this year?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: No?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be shocked if the Lions made it
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl this year.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got us.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: The Bears are my super Bowl team out of the NFC,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: they are. Yes, I'm announcing it now.
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: Okay, uh, your your your middle of the your mid
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: game on Thanksgiving Eagles at Cowboys.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You're right, that is mid Yeah, the NFL went big. Yeah.
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: Well, listen, everybody needs time to be with family and
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: sit down and eat and just have one eye on
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: the on the television because Sunday night.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Because Thursday night Chiefs at Bills.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: Oh wow, oh oh wow, oh wow. Alright, NFL settle down.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: This is why I'm telling you this is going to
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: be a new holiday. Because this we're gonna look back
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: and say, what a ridiculous great, ridiculously great week of games.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: This has to happen every year. Boom Thanksgiving. Even now,
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: everybody's gonna have a half a day off.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, all the good teams. We get to Sunday,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be Jets Dolphins.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, so Chiefs Bills. Sounds good right now. But
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: there's a chance we get to that game and it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Josh Allen versus Garrett usmar.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: No way, there's a chance.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. By the time we get
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving. Is there a chance it's Josh Allen versus
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: garrettnus Meyer.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: There the Christmas game was Chris Oldokin.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's Christmas.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's Christmas. Yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: This Thanksgiving, everybody's still in it. They were trying to
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: trade for Priest Hall just before this.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: He's still in the MVP conversation around Thanksgiving.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: That guy. So is there a Friday game?
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: There is? And I almost wish I relent.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It's it's a little bit of a letdown, letdown. Now
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I have to guess, Wait, i't me to give you
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: a hint.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's that big of a letdown. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: think Mike you oversold that letdown.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Chargers.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: No, that's not a letdown. That's that's a that's a
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: that's an awesome game.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So now I have to think about what Mikey would
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: deem a letdown and what is he saying?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not so bad.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I'm also surprised that he called it a letdown.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Raiders, right conference, you said, right Texans.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: No defense? No, I love this game.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Bengals No, No, right, right Division?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Who the hell is it?
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: It's the Steelers.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a letdown.
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: It's Aaron Rodgers. It's Thanksgiving. They could be on their
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: third quarterback by then, is he?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: What do you make of a Chan getting four years,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: sixty eight million dollars from the Dolphins. I think there
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: was a time of the radio show where you said, ah, Chan,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: get out of Miami if you can.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean this is the reason why he didn't, right,
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: because he's gonna get paid and you know not the
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: greatest amount of guaranteed money. It's in the thirties, right,
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: thirty two to thirty four, somewhere in that range.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I don't really understand if you're.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: Gonna make a commitment on a team that's not really
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: or not really definitely not trying to do anything and
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: won't do anything, why you make a commitment to the
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: running back position, especially when you're most likely going to
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: use his prime years, which is probably the first couple
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: of years of this deal, on a team that's not
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: doing anything. You're just gonna waste his runs, waste his touches.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: And so I don't really understand the thinking on this.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: If they feel like maybe they're gonna be surprisingly good
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: and they have this one gem of an offensive piece, great,
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: but I don't see that thinking.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I don't really get it, to be.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Honest, Mikey.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: There was a time we had mostered on if you remember,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: when he was leading the nfball and touchdowns and we
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: asked him who's the fastest guy on that team, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: he said, it's not me, it's not Hill, it's not Waddle,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it's this kid, a chit. And we were like who,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and he was like, a chan, He's going to be
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a great football player. He's now the third highest paid
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: running back in the NFL, which is amazing to me.
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: Well, I think Mostard said he was, and then a
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: Chan would be second, and Tyreek was looking at their backs.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: No, so Mostard said that even while ah Chan beat
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: him in one hundred yard dash, he still thought he
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: was faster. Yes, Kyle Long next stick outs here from

  Speaker 1: of mine, a friend of the show.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Chris Long.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Kyle Long is with us though, and I'm very excited
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: he's with us to promote Generation Fine. We have a
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: game for him at the end. He loves games, which
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I get very excited about. Uh, tell us about what
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you're doing with Generation Fine, Kyle.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: All right, So I partner with Johnson and Johnson on
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: the Generation Fine movement, which is really having an attention
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: to the fact that we all deal with mental health.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: You know, we all have it's a spectrum, so we've
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: all got a different thing going on. But one thing
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: we can all have a unifying conversation over is the
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: fact that talk about this stuff is good. And when
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: I played, everybody would always text me during the season.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: You know, nobody sees you during the season, but they
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: text you. How you doing. I'm fine, I'm good. That
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: doesn't have to be the benchmark, right Like, we should
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: be striving for better than that, And in order to
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: do that, you're gonna have to have some tough conversations.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Look yourself in the mirror, and a great place to
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: start if you feel like you're somebody that's dealing with
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: this is Generation Dash. Fine dot com, there's tools, resources, information.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: But being in a football family, I know how important
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: mental health is. It doesn't affect just me, but my wife,
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: my children, the people I work with, and it goes
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: for players, coaches, scouts, support staff, trainers in the NFL,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: and I would imagine it permeates everywhere on Earth. People
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: have to deal with mental health. So this is a
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: good starting point. I want to destigmatize that conversation.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask, why is this a personal
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: thing for you? Why is this so important to you?
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Well, when I was playing, I started to notice that
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: there were some days that were harder than others to
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: get out of bed. I mean even when I was
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: an All pro, and it wasn't because I was sore.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: It was because I had something going on between the
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: six inches between my ears, and I had to take accountability,
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: take ownership and realize that, Like if I sprain my ankle,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go and take care of that and
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: I'm going to do the treatment that I need. Why
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: wouldn't I do the same thing if I'm dealing with
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: depression or anxiety or anything along those lines. There's a
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: lot of us that do, and I promise you We've
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: all got a little bit of poundage that's sitting on
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: our shoulders and on our chest because of things that
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: we didn't say, conversations we haven't had, regrets we may have.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: So I would urge you guys to step up. And
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: you know, I want to say, you know, be a man,
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: and I want to rebrand that too. I mean, being
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: a man's looking out for yourself and the people that
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: love you and you love And what better way to
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: do that than to have these conversations.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: Hey, Kyle, I'm curious. Hello, by the way, are you doing?
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: What do you suggest when somebody doesn't know?
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: What does that feel like?
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: What if I don't know if having a bad day
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: actually just means anything, if it's weighing on me. Isn't
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: that the conversations that they have to have?
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Right? I would say that you learn about yourself in
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: comparing and contrasting with others. And while you and I
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: may not have the same things, I'm sure that in
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: a five to two minute conversation you and I can
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: find something that's like common ground this ven diagram, And
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: if you talk to enough people, or if you have
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: enough conversations with that person, you should be able to
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: identify some of the things that maybe, you know what
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: I thought I was doing great, But this I can
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: tweak the margins on this, I can be even better
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: than great.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: It's it's applicable for anybody on this spectrum.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Kyle, I'm wondering you and your brother do such great
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: work off the field, Like, who instilled that into you?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Guys?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Was that from your parents? Was that dad who told you, hey,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: use the platform, use it for good, for good use.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Well, my dad's obviously always been a you know, a
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: model citizen, but it's it's my mom, Diane, who is
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: just on you know, she's on dozens of boards for
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: nonprofits and charitable organizations. I think that using your platform
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: and helping other people is something that we got from
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: our dad, but we definitely got from our mom, Diane,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: and she's an all star. And you can see it
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: with Chris. I mean, he's been a man on a
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: mission for a long time.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Kyle.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: I saw a funny story about you and Matt n
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: Aggie's first day with the Bears. Could you could you
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: tell these guys about that story.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: He's rubbing his heads, I'll do his face. What is
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: going on on?
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Good research, by the way, good research. So I had
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: just moved into a new house in Lake Forest, Illinois.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Beautiful house, beautiful house, and I knew that the first
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: day was this. This was like a Sunday night. I
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: go to bed, I plug my phone in, I set
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: my alarm. I'm a early guy. I'm their way early.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: I bring like a sixty degree wedge and I'm out
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: there hitting it. You know, you got to tell me
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: to get out of the building. Well, I plugged my
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: phone into a dead outlet and I used white noise
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: and white noise on Spotify. It drains your battery unless
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: you're plugged in. I woke up peacefully at about seven
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: thirty am, which was about an hour and a half
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: after my alarm was supposed to go off. And I'm
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: I'm like one of the guys on this team, and
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: we have a brand new coach. Well, I slept through
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: that meeting and the first meeting and in the video
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: in the presentation was like we need guys that are
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: accountable and do things, and it's like I'm all over
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: the presentation. I'm like the guy and I'm nowhere to
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: be found. I just remember the head of security, John
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Tarpy called me, and I'm in my kitchen like scrambling
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: to get out the door, and Tarpy called me. He's like,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: you missed the first meeting. And I'm like, this is
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: not what it looks like. It wasn't a contract situation
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: or anything. It was just a dead outlet. And here
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: I am talking about it nine years later. I'll never
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: forget that, so I always make sure my stuff is charging.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: You're scarred by that. I mean it's like that was
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: painful for you. I mean, yeah, you need that though.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: You got to need that, like fear right, if you're
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: going to be in the National Football League.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Would you be surprised if I told you during Super
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Bowl Week your brother invited me out on a lawn
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to take mushrooms and just stare at the Golden gate Bridge.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: This is like the least surprising thing I've ever heard.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: You know, Chris is always on his journey of discovery,
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: and I think that did you take him up on
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: that invitation?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Also not surprising? Stucats No, no, no, Chris did not.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Chris Taylor told the story Chris never showed up to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the lawn.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I think he took him. He was too bad an'noid
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: to leave the house something like, you know.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: What, it sounds like an overwhelming evening. And I'm you know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: me and Chris are so we're so alike, but we're
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: so different. I mean, I'm so happy to know him. Man,
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: he exposes me to so many crazy things. I'm just
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: I'm just happy. He's a nice guy. Is he?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: We're gonna play a game here of Chris or Kyle,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and then we'll have Chris on to get his answers
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and we'll match him up against Kyle's answers.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: How does that sound? Are you like games? You said right?
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: Love games? Big game guy?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, Uh, Mom's favorite, Chris my favorite.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna say Kyle.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Huh really why?
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: I just I don't know. I got a gut feeling here.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Here's the deal.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: So my mom and I have a lot of overlap.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Like obviously, people look at me and they're like, Oh,
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: that's how he's kid. He's huge, he's a football player.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: My mom was like musical theater. I did that in
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: junior high drama. Cl I was into that. There's a
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: lot of the things that my mom that makes up
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: her personality that I find in me. Chris and my
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: dad are very similar in terms of just like type
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: a squarehead, great hair.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: Kyle, I could tell you from somebody who is absolutely
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: not the favorite. If you're the favorite, you know, in
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: my house there were more pictures of my brother with
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: his lacrosse coach than there were of me.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: That's unbelievable.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: The lacrosse coach gets more, the lacrosse coach has more wall.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Chris would be the first guy to say that I'm
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: the favorite, Like, Kyle is definitely the favorite, and I'm like,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: I have to think about it.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But Chris says that knowing that everyone else knows
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: that Kyle is the favorite, right, I feel like, Yeah,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: he's too serious. Chris or Kyle dad's favorite.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Me didn't even.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Hesitate that one didn't hesitate, okay.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Chris or Kyle. Best gift giver, Uh.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Chris is probably a really good gift giver because he's
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: pre CBA, so he can give big gifts, huge gifts. Yes,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: what kind of gifts do you like?
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Just go pick one out right, go to Uncle Chris.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Like all my gifts. I put him on layaway.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, best singing voice Chris or Kyle.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: I like to sing. I like to sing, and it
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: goes back to that musical background stuff. I really do
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: enjoy singing anything.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, what's your go to? Like, what's the song you'll
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: sing out loud in the shower?
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Well, right now, it's a lot of the Disney princess stuff. So,
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: but you know with these Disney movies. By the way,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: watched Tarzan yesterday, Yeah, the original Phil Collins have a day.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Hats off to Phil Collins. Unbelievable. And my kids aren't
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: big like movie buffs. They listen to all the music
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: where yesterday was like thunder and lightning in South Forest.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: We put the kids on the couch, we put Tarzan on.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I've never seen more locked in people than watching Tarzan.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: And then when Phil Collins come come on, this is
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: nothing better.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all off, hammer go ahead, Mikey.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: I got a two parter here. Who is the funniest
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: and who thinks they're the funniest. Chris is probably the funniest.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: I definitely think.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I'm the funniest, but you know you're not funny.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: But that's what makes it funny. It's like I will
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: swing the bat, I will swing hard, I will swing
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: hard one time, so I was I'm friends with like
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Will Compton and those guys. And I ran into Will
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: outside of a super Bowl party one night and we
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: had all had a couple of pops. I think Drake
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: was playing. It was a very cool venue. We weren't
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: supposed to be there. And we walk outside and you know,
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: you see the light of like the ubers and everything
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: when you leave. And I saw Will with Shane Gillis,
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: who I'm a huge fan of Shane Gillis, and I
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: walked up and I cracked the joke. I cracked the
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: joke to Will Compton, like making fun of him, and
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Shane looks at me and he goes, good joke, idiot,
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Like it was a terrible joke, and he called me
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: on it. But that's an example of like, but I'm
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: not afraid if I'm coming again with it.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: But for a comedian, that also wasn't a great retort
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: by Shane.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: He looked at me like, good joke. Oh that killed
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: me for a couple of days.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Most likely to attempt to pay for dinner Chris or Kyle.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Most likely to attempt to play for pay for dinner.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: That would be Chris, so he could leave as soon
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: as he's done eating.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Wait what does he do?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Soone the second he's done chewing, he gets up, pays
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: for the meal, and leaves.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, you know what, I just.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Think he's a homebody and if you don't, if you're
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: not grilling at his house, he is in a track
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: meet to the door to try to get home. He's
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: one of those guys.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: All right, final one here, Taylor has a question and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: then we'll promote what you're doing one more time on
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the way out.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: We appreciate the time. I want to do this more.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I want to have you with Chris. Yeah, I want
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: to have you and Chris saw it together. The guy
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: who gives the biggest tips Chris.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Or Kyle biggest tips? Yeah, yeah, I think I tip
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: pretty well because most of the time when I tip,
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: it's at the golf course. And for example, there's a
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: public course down here in South Florida called Osprey Point.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: It's like the best public course in the state.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: And I played a number of times.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: It's fantastic, fantastic, right, throw the starter a couple bones.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Make sure you take care of the people that clean
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: your clubs in your car, because when you show up
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: on a random day and you say, man, maybe I'd
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: go out and play eighteen. Those are the same people
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: that make the decision. Now, I'm not saying treat people
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: well so you can get things, but if you want
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: to be a good tipper, it pays to do it
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: at the golf course that people take care of you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: All right, how about me and you around at osbrey Point.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: How does that sound.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: What's your handicap?
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: My handicap's like a fifteen fifteen.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: We'd have a hell of a day.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it. Yes, but I tend to uh,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I tend to dabble on some of Chris's things more
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: so than yours.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Just so yeah, free zone, Okay, I.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Dabble right third hole, every hole, Taylor, go ahead, Kyle.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: So, I played football at UNC and I once dropped
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: a pass and on my way back to the sideline,
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: my coach said, don't worry. The world needs average people too.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: And I'm wondering, from your experience in locker rooms and
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: around coaches, what's the meanest thing a coach has ever
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: said to you?
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: The meanest thing a coach ever said to me? So
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: flashback to the Matt Naggie first year. Okay, and I
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: finally got to the building and we started doing our practices.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: We did our first practice and again I met with
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: Naggie after the missing the meeting, and I'm back in
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: the good graces as one of the guys. Vic Fangio
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: is our defensive coordinator. I love Vic Fangio. Him and
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: my dad are type. They text a lot. It was
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: just strange, but I love Vi. It is so we'd
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: break down that. At the end of practice, they bring
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: all the guys into a little like nucleus and they say,
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: break them down. Seventy five, you got them, that's me.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: I'm seventy five. So I go up there and I say,
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: you know, one two three bears, I'm not giving speeches
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: the one two three bears. And I walk away and
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: then I get grabbed on my arm when I'm leaving
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: the huddle. It's Vic Fangi. He looks me right in
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: the eyes. He said, you didn't fucking deserve that.
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: Classic fangs I mean, And you know what, it's the
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: same guy that when a Keem Hicks would play sixty
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: plays and tap his helmet to get a breather.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: At three hundred and fifty pounds, Vic Fangio would remind him.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: I remember hearing these conversations like my dad would. On
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: a Monday or Thursday game, my dad could be there,
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: so he'd be in the tunnel after the game, and
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: me and a Chem are super tight, and we'd walk
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: out of the locker room together, but we bash each
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: other's faces in all week. But on Sundays we were
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: going at somebody else and we're leaving the locker room
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: at the same time, and me and a Key walk
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: out and Vic and my dad are talking. And Vic
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: loves my dad because he's old school. He never came out,
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: He played all he played all the positions, he two gaps,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: he never bitched. I remember he Vic goes, hey, Keing,
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: come here. I want you to talk to Howie for
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: a second. Then he goes, Howie, how many times did
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: you leave the field when you played? And I remember
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: my dad knew what a Key or what Vic was
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: trying to do to a Keeing, and he was like,
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I'm not doing this here. And it just made me
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: realize these coaches are just trying to crawl up under
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: your skin and live inside of your brain and get
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: inside of your heart and make you feel less than
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: But that's what it takes, okay, because who else is
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: going to motivate at sixty six, three hundred and fifty
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: pound monster savage to go do stuff because the rest
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: of it's easy for him. You need somebody to push
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: you over the edge. That was Vic Fangio for me,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: and Aaron Cromer was the guy that really dug his
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: nails into me.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll get you out of here in a second.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Chris Simms is a friend of the show.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: He's always telling me that his dad, Phil Simms, who
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: won two Super Bowls, is always reminding him, Hey, I'm
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: the one who has the rings in the family. I
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: know all you guys have some rings, but Howie Long,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: How often does it remind the kids, Hey, Dad's a
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame fucking football player.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I'm better than both of you. You know what.
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: It's funny. It makes it easy. It makes it easy
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: because he wasn't just a guy that played, and I
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: didn't have to like measure up to him, and he
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: doesn't have to deal with how close are my kids?
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: It is obvious that he is the north Star. I'm
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: just trying to spacexit a little bit, okay, I'm just
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: trying to get out of the lower Earth orbit a
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: little bit and navigate those potholes. He did a great
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: job of putting street lamps at every corner for one
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: hundred miles, and there will not be a crossroad that
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: I meet that hasn't been traveled by him. And that
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: gives me incredible peace. And I'm thankful for him.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Do you want poetry because that was great?
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: No?
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you, though, yes, it was really good. We are
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: thankful for you in your times. Are we appreciate it?
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Tell us one more time on the way out here again.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: What you're doing. It's great. It's great work you guys
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: are doing with Generation Fine.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Johnson and Johnson and I have partnered on Generation Fine.
