• 3:00
  Speaker 1: season all the way into October. Now, we did start
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: this podcast asking you if we were recording sure, is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: there anything you'd like to say to the people. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: know that this is not a Bust with the Boys podcast.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: That is a certain something happened, but it did happen
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: under the Bust with the Boy's umbrella. I was not here.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I was in Canada. I love to hear your side
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of the story. I talked to Will. I talked to Will.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: Let it be known that Will's side of the story
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: is my side of the story as well.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, what's your side of the story.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: We're looking for true transparency in this moment. Listen sunglasses
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: coming off. Wow, we're gonna look at them down the barrel.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: You have one job when you're working at a production
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: company and you were recording talents such as Taylor and Will,
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: there's one job. It's to get that out to the public.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: It's to publish it on the internet. Yeah, what is
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: the one thing that you have to do in order
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: to publish that on the internet. You gotta tay a
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: little one uh, press record, have to press record out
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: of press record. If you don't press record, nothing's going
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: on the internet. Really, I hate to break it to you,
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: but that is the truth.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So, if this is a company that lives on the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: internet and that's how we make money, pay for salaries,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: feed our families, we have to press the button in
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: order for the beautiful people that watch this show to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be able to wash the show, and then we monetize on.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: That, and then we monetize on it. The kick in
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: the gut is not realizing that not just oh maybe
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: five minutes in, we got to redo the intro. Oh
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: maybe twenty minutes in. Oh, that kind of hurts, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: we can do it. Fifty seven minutes into the podcast.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: Wow, holy hey, hat's coming off, and I'm looking down
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: the barrel, looking down the parrot.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Look. I don't know if I can. I want to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: look away, but I just can't right now. To a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: car accident on the side of the road.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Seven minutes see fifty seven minutes, And can I tell
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: you something please, urine.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Will's story is not the same. Oh really, he said
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: forty five minutes.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Oh that was before we told him. No, it was
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: actually fifty.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Se okay, okay, yeah, his anger was probably gonna be
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the same based that twelve minutes. Oh yeah, but my god,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: yeah dude.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: And honestly, it was to really break it down, like
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: being in production as long as I have been, that
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: is like that's your first day on the job type
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: of mistake. So it was so such a gut punch
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: that we truly sat there for around fifteen minutes in silence.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's that's that's part of will story as well.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: It was tough. And then to brag on Will. This
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: is not to get points, but to truly brag on.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Can I just button real quick please? Probably not the time.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: Right, Oh yeah, not the time, but I have to Okay,
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: I'm drowning.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: All right, you're drowning. But sometimes you just gotta let
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the bubbles go, you know.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, true, you got to the bottom.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Sometimes get away to the bubble, stop man and be like, hey, reset.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: You sink to the bottom. You let your feet touch.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: That's when you can push off, That's when you can
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: kick back.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're in a pool because I'm making of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you in the ocean right now?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Or the ocean?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but what we're gonna say about will yeah?
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: You just he handled it very very well, because that
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: podcast could have absolutely tanked with us having to re
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: record it. He swallowed the anger, he swallowed the frustration,
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: and said, we got to record a podcast here and
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: put on an Academy Award winning performance of I'm not
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: mad at Sherman. Let's get this episode done. So kudos
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: to him, and uh, great learning lesson.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: One of the hardest things in podcasts. I don't think
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we've really ever done on this show. But it's when
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you do something and somebody messes up and they go, hey,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to do this again, and then you have
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to like recreate the energy you had when you were
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: first delivering the first thing. You're actually feeling it together. Yes,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: it's a horrible feeling. It was to do it once,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: like ten to fifteen seconds worth, a minute worth, yes,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and rough. But fifty seven and I'm.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: Dressed up like an asshole because it was episode zero
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: zero seven, So I said, oh, double o seven, that's fun.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: I'll wear a tuxedo.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did he know you're gonna wear that?
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: I texted him asking him to wear a tuxedo as well,
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: and he did not show up.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that sounds like Will. That sounds like Will.
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: Did he even respond to the tuxedo text?
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Zero response to the tuxedo text?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: So J is also very well.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: On the first go round of the recording of the episode,
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: he you know, check out this asshole to open up
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: the podcast, which was funny tongue in cheek because I'm
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: in a tuxedo. Second time around, as he has swallowed
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: all of his anger, he goes welcome for the Dad's episode.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: Here's zero seven. Sherman's wearing a fucking tuxedo and just
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: a hard cut to be just melting.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And hurt, hurting on the inside.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: It was bad.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's tough, man. It's like a step brother Steam.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: But it's like, hey, you know, Tuxio seemed kind of
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: fucked up now right, it might be the exact situation
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: where you're like, God, damn it, that hurts.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: It was so bad.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so bad. Can you do me a favor.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna obviously our boy will comp that he's in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Calgary right now, he's in Banff. I have a whole
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: story about my time in Calgary earlier today. While I'm
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: doing that, could you please go on chat GPT and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: as chat GPT as a business owner how they would
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: handle explain to them situation and then ask chat GPT
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: how they would handle what you did as a boss,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and they were to compare contrast what it will did
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: for you, all right and see see what you wouldn't
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you'd have liked better? AI or will Okay, absolutely, okay,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I mean a little homework during the show. Little homework
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: during the show.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: I'll do that and I'll revisit it at the end,
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: I'll tab it, I'll save it, and so when we're
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: closing out, we can end.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Of bing I love it, dude, something for the people
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to look forward to before they get into this great
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: goals and podcast. That's wonderful. Let's talk about Canada, boys. Now,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I was here two weeks ago. A week ago something
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like that flew in. We did some big stuff. We
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: couldn't say it in a nationwide FanDuel commercial. It was unbelievable.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: It was so much fun to do that. I fly
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: back to Canada and I have a great time. Now
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: my wife every single time we go to Canada. First off,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it's so difficult to get her there because she's got
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: she's got her garden, she's got her goats, she's got
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: our bees, she's now she's just doing a whole bunch
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: of stuff all the time at the house. She's always
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: wried about leaving. Is when she leaves, something always goes wrong.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So it's hard to get her to go to Canada.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But once I get her to Canada, it's very difficult
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to get her to come back to America because she
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: loves being with her friends. She has nostalgia. Every corner
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: we turned, she's like, oh, yeah, we used to pick
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: cherries over there, And I don't know why. She's an
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Engles accident. But you get what I'm trying to say.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: She rips it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: She loves it over there, she loves having a great
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: time in Canada. But this time I think it's like
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the first time in a long time that when we
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: said we were gonna come back, we came back, all
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of us together. You just like I just go back.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: They spend another week whatever, we fly back. So last night,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: yesterday was my youngest daughter, her fifth birthday. Let's give
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Willow round in the pause. She turned five while I've
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: been gone, my oldest daughter, Win turned eight, and Willow
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: turn five. Let's do one more round of appas for
• 10:03

• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and Tailing does shit for twenty minutes. Bless her heart
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't say shit about it. Yeah, yeah, bless your heart
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: didn't say shit. So she's like, lookey, I will tell you.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: We did get a bit of an argument, but not
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: like a real argument like.
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: Who won, who won?
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Let me explain the situations. You can tell me who won,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: because I do low key thing. I won, but I'll
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: explain how I won. So, like, as we're getting these
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: kids packed in like packed together, and it's like, all right,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the kid's gotta go to bed, and me and my
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: wife and miss Tannar doing like the spoter man, like
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: who's putting the kids that night? Right? Tales like hey,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: if you put them nine at all? Finished packing, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, if I put them in the bed,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I'll just go to bed right now. I'll just go
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to bed right now with them, so one of us
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is a little more juice. I here, Yes, that's a
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: great idea, Taylor. Apparently that's not what she said. Okay,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it's not what she said. So I get they brush
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: their teeth, I brush my teeth. I get the mouth tape.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I put it on, and I put the kids asleep,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and I get to give them the whole bit a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: great day. It's time to go to bed, but we
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: want to do five minutes at this we're going to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: do five them. Is that politely? I told them, Fuck no,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: that's not happening politely. But at this point, it's like
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: eleven fifteen now, so I'm having a hard time. I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: started laying in the bed. Mouth tape goes on. I
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: put the little meditation music on for the kids so
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: we can all have a nice little sleep. What do
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I wake up to a light beaming in my face
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and she goes, hey, I said, we're gonna put the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: have you put the kids down, We're gonna put the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: stuff in the car. That way we can just get
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: up in the morning and do so we can all
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: sleep long. And I so right then and there, I've
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: already kind of given the equation to me. Not a
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: whole lot of sleep, grumpy boy. It's kind of a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: one post one equals two type of thing in my
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: days waking up, which never happens. Anytime you wake me
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: up in sleep, I'm pissed off. Like if you wake
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: me up in the middle of night and you're like, Taylor,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know why any of you be sleeping next week,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: but Taylor, I think somebody's house. I'd be like, dude,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: shut the fuck up, like I want. They're fine, let
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: them kill us, Let's get some sleep. That's kind of
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: like my vibe when it's like midnight whatever. So Taylor
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: gets me up and by the grace of God, my
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: brain didn't trigger too. We're throwing hands and went to
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: let me be as quiet as possible, mad quiet, and
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: get these fucking bags in the car as fast as possible.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I walk outside. Miss Tanna, being the sweet queen she is,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: She's like, oh, Taylor, that's all right, I'll do it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, probably shouldn't have woke me up then, right,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I grabbed the shit anyway. I walk the shit, dude,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and I'm in just underwear like you want put a
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: short time. No, I don't even say no. I just
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: grab this stuff. I'm walking down the hallway in just
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: my underwear, no tube sock like I usually have. It's
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: just all by itself. Well yeah, but I'm also my
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: peace shirm anyway, So I'm walking. I throw the shit
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: in the trunk, walk back, and then there I was like,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: is that everything? Like, well, we're gonna get We're gonna
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: keep these here in case we forgot a couple of things.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: It's like, nope, win, put them in the car.
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: Get back.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, we're good. Like, yeah, I don't say a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: word to anybody. I go back and I go back
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to the bed, put my mouth dave on. As my
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: wife's like walking in the room, put my mouth daveon,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and I fucking go to sleep. So did I win
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that argument? That's the question. I feel like the answer.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Is, yes, maybe you did.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: But at what cost?
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Woke up this morning? We actually the family was kind
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: of vibor this morning, So I think it's what we
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: needed because it easily could have been a blow up that.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's ever gonna gone to bed
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: mad in a relationship. We all have we all promise
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: we won't, but we do, but we absolutely do. There's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: nothing worse than fucking going toes with somebody and be like,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you know what, fuck this, I'll see in the morning
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: because you're fuming for the next thirty minutes, you're not
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: even really sleeping, you're just quiet. And then you think
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to yourself, they might think I'm not asleep, so I'm
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: gonna breathe heavier as if I sleep. Dude, I get
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: petty as hell sometime.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: But there's also nothing sneaky better than when you're like
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: in the situation that you're in and how you did everything,
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: you packed up everything, everybody else was feeling like, dang,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Taylor is doing it all and they know you're doing
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: it out of spite. Yeah, And there's the bad part
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: of inside of you is like, good, I'm glad they
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: all know that I'm doing this, and I'm glad they
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: know I'm pissed off. And they're not gonna get answer
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: until the morning.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah they're not.
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: They're not.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have to wonder when they go to sleep.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I hope he's better when these six hours go by
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and he's up at four am or five hours now,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Taylor did most of the packing. I will say, Okay, Taylor,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: did we'll go with this seventy story. You said yeah, no, no, no,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I said she was doing I even said I took
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a break. I took a break. We had listen to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the whole story. I did take a break to pet
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the cat. But yeah, dude, woke up this morning.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: What happened earlier when you were talking about the cat.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: You're like, yeah, then I like randomly started petting the cat.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Dude, for really, I saw the canine. Let me just
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: keep my hands. Like, my brain was like, this is
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a huge opportune time. Will everyone's like trying to pack
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: for me to pick up this cat and go still
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: on the couch. And then my wife would walk in
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: and I'd feel like the gilt. I go, babe, look
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: he's cuddling bare check it out. She's like, oh, it's sweet,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: that's nice. And you could just tell her she's like

• 18:35
  Speaker 1: happy I pet that cat after getting woken up like that, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

• 18:46

• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I did a couple of things, and I also cleaned
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: up the little little party. It's not important, dude. People
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: are not interested in the fine details of my story
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: because it's my truth. The morning, four fifteen and wake up.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: We gotta be out the door at four thirty. All right, Willow,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: my youngest wakes up like a like a goddess, like
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a little angel, pops up. I'm ready. I can't wait
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: for the day when exact opposite, sweet girl, wonderful girl,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: just had a really hard time. But I'm like, get
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the fuck in the car, dude, we gotta, we gotta roll.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: We get in first flight from Colona to Calgary, wonderful,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: not even a bump on the flight. It was one
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of those we kind of just like sit, chill, play
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: twenty forty eight and rip and it was nothing to me.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Land Tale's like, hey, we have global entry, you should
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: just rip because I don't know how customs are gonna be.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: And I had it with the sweetie. I've been this
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: airport one hundred times, like it's not gonna be a
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: big deal. I turned the corner to start going to
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: customs lines out the door. My flight takes off in
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: an hour and a half, and the lady, there's a
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: lady walking by and goes, if you guys are this
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: is a two hour a wait, so if your flight
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: leaves in less than two hours, you're probably gonna miss
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: your flight. I'm thinking the same thing as everybody else,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: what about my flight? You just think about me? Me, me, me, me,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: and I think and what sucks for me is some
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: dude turned around and he's like, hey, for the boys,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: bump me. So now I can't. I can't get emotional
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: right now because he's gonna tell a story about how
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Taylor lost his shit on the poor lady who's just
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: trying to give the information. So I'm like, all right,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: whatever hanging out. Lady right behind me is like, excuse me,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I'm in the national flight. Blah blah blah. She goes,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: that's between you and the flight. Will you make it
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: or you don't? And I'm thinking to myself, that sucks.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: That really sucks for all of us. But you got
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: kind of sun just now. It's been just sweetheart. But
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: he turns around he's starting to talk to me, so
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of getting a little like, fuck, dude, I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: got sitting there, I said, in two hours with this
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: guy just talking to me. We're both gen pop boarding.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, one of the guys
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: walks over and goes American passport and he's like, yeah,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: American passport and he goes, you go this way, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, we're about to go, and I go
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I go to walk with him. Guy hits me with
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the he goes, oh, all good here I go, oh, no,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I got American passport too. He goes, no, you just
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: wait in this line, and the dude looks back. Dude
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: looks back, does this shrugged me. Not a disrespectful shrug,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: but a shrug.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Nonetheless, So Taylor is Canadian.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: guys my truth. My my American boy's coming at me
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: The passport didn't work.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Damn anyway, I'm gonna let that one roll off the back.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: It's been a long day.
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: Would it have been more disrespectful if that guy just
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: walked off without giving you the shrug?
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: Like just been like you literally didn't mean anything to
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: me actually.
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: Right, Like.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not even actually subscribed, and this story I'm actually
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: a part of my take. Thing that would have yeah,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I guess no shrug, like he would just forgot me
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: in the wind, like I was nothing to him. That
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: would have been tough, that have been really hard. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: stand in line. I'm about halfway through this line this girl,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm this is not saying well, I'm not trying
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to say anything. I'm just talking about the like this
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: is he this is her look, purple hair, nose, ring
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: tattoos right behind me. She think this chick almost had
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: a different word, this chick face. We're in rush hour
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: traffic where she's just gonna take her vehicle her body
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and go around mine. At some point her body her
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: rights her body exactly. I'm you know, you're doing the
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: weave on the line. You're doing the weave back and forth.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: You're essing that thing, and some people like to go
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: around the wide way. I'm realizing quickly I gotta take
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the short fucking corners and catch the inside before we
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: keep moving, because this chick's kind of like feeling me out,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: like she's shoulders shoulder me at some points, and I'm thinking,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: do I have to say something to this girl? But
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get caring. I not judging a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: book by its cover, not justdging a books by its cover.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: But I thought to myself, I might get got, you know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I might get got. She doesn't have she doesn't have
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: headphones in. She pulls out her phone and she goes, hello,

• 23:27
  Speaker 1: my friend, she's right there. She's right there, gets to
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the front of the line where some dude is like, oh,

• 23:35
  Speaker 1: past and he's like, oh all right, and she's like

• 23:39
  Speaker 1: like I could hear the conversation, but respectfully, fucked that bitch.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: That was one of the nastier things I've ever seen done.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: All times.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Scumback, all times, scumback, move all time.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: That that that's literally probably four episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no shit, no shit, I got one more too.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: So I get through the I'm going through the security line,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and then they have to go through the customs line.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But I get to the security line and I'm at
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the point where it's like it converges the Priority people,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the gen Pop people, the Nexus people, everybody in between.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: We're converging on this one line. There's one guy who's
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: just getting started by a bunch of angry faces. He's
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: doing the he's doing the all right, yep, okay, all right, okay,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I get here, I get here. He goes, babe, hits me,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I need you to stop right there. And it's not

  Speaker 1: he's not being rude, but I'm thinking, what, dude, come on,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: He goes, you're with them? I go no, he goes
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: all right, and then does the whole you guys over here,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: you guys start going A lady. I don't know why.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: It's the ladies. An older woman probably in her fifties,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: gives me a disrespectful shrug, a smirking she walks by,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and she goes cause it was kind of I did
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the whole like half. I was like half a step

  Speaker 1: in when he touched my chest, and then she sees
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that happen, she gotta gives me the ooh sorry sorry.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So I finally get through security. I rip, boom boom boom,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: put my shit up. They'll take your shoes off, like
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: that's so fucking dumb. Can't wait till Trump changes that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I heard he was gonna do that. I put my
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: shit in the security thing. It goes to the little
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: security thing and I get through. I start briskly power
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: walking to the custom section. I get through a weave,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: one weave, one turn, and when she knows, I'm about
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: to hit my second turn. So I'm facing security. Same lady,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the fifty five year old who gave me the shrug,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: She is turning the corner because her shit got stopped.

  Speaker 1: of town, not the worst I've seen worse, but definitely

  Speaker 1: not the best area of town. All right, UFC three
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: you know what? UFC three eighteen, great card, amazing. Poor
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Holloway went down to the wire just like we all
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: kind of saw gon gonna happen. I do want to
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: talk about Donald Trump, just for a moment. And this
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: is not like a political stance. I know a lot
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: of people call us the Maga podcast. I just want
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to just comment on the fact that he's basically threatening
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: an NFL team and giving them restrictions if they don't
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: change your name back to the Washington Redskins. That is,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: without a doubt, just funny. That is objectively funny. Everything else, well,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: this isn't that. And he's a bad person, don't care.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: That is funny that He's just like, we're gonna fuck
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: your shit up if you don't change it back to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the Redskins. This is not three or four years ago.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: We're ripping common sense. Whatever your stances, whatever your stances
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: on the Redskins. Here's my stance. Uniforms and logo goes hard.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: A lot of history there, all right, if they want
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to bring it back, she would be sweet. Shit would
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: be sweet. That's my stance. Now, my Native American, according
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: to by twenty three and meters, I do have a
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: little sprinkle.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: But according to the Poncho Native American.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I am Native American and also this photo
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: that I hope Sherman puts up. For those of you
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: who watching on YouTube. We could tell Trump hasn't played
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of ball in his life, right, We
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: could tell by that stance everything probably hasn't played a
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: whole lot of ball. Especially when he calls it the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Washington Redskins football team. He's mixing both names and putting
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: it together. It's objectively funny. Onward, JP, how do you
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: feel about it?
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Initially, when the Redskins got their name taking the first time,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: I was like, this is stupid, and then and I
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: hated the Washington football team. It was my least favorite
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: name of any NFL football team of all time. Once
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: Week twelve hit, I said, this might be the greatest
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: football team name of all time. Really why, I have
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: no idea. I just love the basicness of it, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: like how different it was from everyone else, and it's
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: just hilarious. The Washington football team. Who do you play for?
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: The Washington football team? Which one exactly? And so I
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: think that they should go back to the Washington football team.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Ditch the Commanders, ditch the Redskins. Washington football team for
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: life is my vote? Yeah, so right now, one vote
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: to the Redskins, one vote to the Washington football team.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: One vote to the Redskins, because I believe the actual
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: native tribe that is native to the Washington, Virginia area
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: has already come out and said that they want it to.
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: Be changed back to the red Skins. Oh, don't quote me,
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: but quote me.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: I believe that they truly have come out and were like,
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: we took great pride in that. So I'll give my
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: vote to that.
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: Okay, I like that.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I like that a lot.
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: I'm fully Redskins tradition, honor.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I don't hate your take.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I like your stance on it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: It's from the perspective of the jerseys and the logo.
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: It looks so clean with those uniform. If there's if
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: there was an issue with some native tribe that was,
• 31:11
  Speaker 10: you know, took offense to it, then sure, like I
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: understand that. But if there is like a local Washington
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: chapter of Native Americans are like, this is our history,
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: we love that. Why why are we Why is it
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: probably a bunch of white people and saying we have
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: to taken it.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad you brought that up. Whites are the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: problem in America. We're you guys are the issue. You guys,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you people.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: We're trying to get better.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Club whitey.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: My stance on it is whatever Will Compton decides. I
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: think we go with as the former Washington.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: To take it out of your mouth. That is the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: craziest if what do you like? What do I like?
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: Washington Redskins. That's just like my childhood. I feel like
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: I still struggle to call them the commanders. It's like
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: I talked about Washington, It's the Redskins. So you got
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: to bring it back the old school starter jackets, Washington
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: Redskins ones.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: They're they're amazing.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: So they go so hard, they go so hard, they
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: go soar, and I feel like it'd be a good
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: money maker for them too, because they've already sold all
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: these commander uniforms. Boom and then you rip and go
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: back to Redskins, new names, new identities, new n I
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: l let it go. Oh, I'm getting a word from
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: our producer right now while we're hitting record. After this,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: we have a special announcement.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: Yes, once we are done with Commander versus Redskin talk,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: there is some breaking news. We do not have to
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: end this talk and go straight into breaking news. If
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: we still want to talk Trump, but we do have
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: some breaking news.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Taylor, Man, you're gonna make me stump talking about Trump. Huh.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Last thing I'll say, I love Washington football team like Utah.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: When they got the expansion team for the hockey, the
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Utah Hockey Club, and it just said, it's just a
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Utah across the side. Those uniforms went so hard were
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: they Where are they the yetties now?
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: No, not even they were. They were gonna be mammoths.
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: They were the And a little side note, our buddy Thomas,
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: friend of the show, he got hired to sing and
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: produce the Utah chance.
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: So when they score, it was Utah Utah, Utah, Yeah
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: it is and.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: It's a thing.
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: And me and my friends went and did background is
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: like crowd noise, like we were gonna.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Be in no way.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: And then they they went back and they changed it,
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: so they scrapped the whole thing.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: So no more Utah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta get that at least once in a game
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Utah stand up.
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: I think it might be Utah mammoths now, but I
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: like Utah Hockey Club and Utah Yetties or Utah mammoths
• 33:42
  Speaker 10: any day.
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: And but those jerseys, their color schemes phenomenal.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, color schemes solid. I usually don't go for that,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: like like.
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: Like Carolina bluish Like I'm.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Not a Carolina blue guy. I'm not like a like
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a bright color guy. I have my colors to be
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: a little more the end, you know. But yeah, redskins
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: all the way. Uh And what Trump said was funny
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: onward ufc oh Nope.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Special announcement, special announcement we talked about at the beginning
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: of the episode. July is a huge month for several reasons.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: But I would say maybe the most important reason is
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: there is a very special birthday. If you're listening to
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: this on Tuesday, Can anyone tell us whose birthday it
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: might be?
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Is it my birthday?
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: Should we tell them in song?
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Hay birthday?
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: Birthdayday?
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: This is beautiful.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Birdday to you, gosh.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: And a steak cake, A steak cake, a steak cake,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: a red me you know, brock Bowers is so right now,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: good to see you. By the way, ma'am, where's this frommas?
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: I might have to first bite at thirty.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Four technically, if you're watching it is right. Fun fact
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: I was not a red meet king in uh, Canada. Oh,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the boy went kind of crazy. You're a gm O
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: king Yeah, yeah, that was an ultra process king.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: O.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: God, come on, come on, get your ass at here.
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Boy, and that's a piece of fat on there, Come on.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I know this is not a good take, but I
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: like I like a medium steak. I do.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Are you driving to work right now?
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: Bang?
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: You liking a medium steak? Joe Burrow here remembered that
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: you said that in the last episode with brock Bauer,
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: so we ordered a medium for you.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Dude, Burrow, what a dog man, he dog? One more bite,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: one more bite.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: We're doing show for a show right now.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: There is a lot of stuff going on in Cincinnati
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: with the Bengals, not necessarily with Joe Burrow, but Shamar Stewart.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: While you're chewing, I don't know if you heard about this,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: but the first round draft pick, he still has not signed,
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: and there are reports that he is er. It's confirmed
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: that he's back at Texas A and M training, And
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: I guess there's some loophole in the system where if
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: he doesn't sign, he could go back to Texas A
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: and M for another year.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Is that real? Yeah?
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: Because n I l I believe has now opened up
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: to where these players can be paid for their name, image,
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: and likeness. It no longer takes you out of amateur status.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: So if he has not signed with them, he is
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: still considered an amateur and could go back to college.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about what you pronounced that a second,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: So he can just go back.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: He can just go back.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: How sick would you be for the Bengals fan right now?
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: And let's say he goes back and he plays and
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: then goes okay, I want to go to the NFL
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: now and the Bengals go, oh, okay, great because we
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: drafted him.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no way.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: He is back in the draft and he has to
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: be redrafted.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: I wonder if the Bengals get any consumption that.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Compensation or consumption, whichever one you want. Dude over here,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: you thinking, dude, that is first off, I think there's
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: a peppercorn, steak pepper in my I that would be
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: fucking nuts nuts. Yeah. He was your first round pick. Yeah, yeah,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: he's been sitting out And for those of you who
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: don't know the first round picks, it's all slotted. The
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: number is what the number is you're not gonna get more.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna get less either. There's a tiny, small verbage.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I know we talked about this when he was at
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: OTA's holding out, but my rookie contract I didn't sign
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: till like two days before camp started, and my agent's like, hey,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: you might have to hold out. I'm thinking this is
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the most insane should have ever heard of my life.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Luckily I went to camp. But dude, that would be
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: so tough, because if you've watched quarterback, if you guys
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: watched a new season quarterback, I'm not all the way
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: through it yet. Well, we know how the season, how
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the season went with the Bengals, and you're watching Joe
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Burrow like you're rewatching him just completely light up the NFL,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: and watching other teams also score forty and then they
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: haven't gotten necessarily better from a personnel standpoint at all,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: and you're trying to add this kid to give you
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: that extra cake cause you need some defensive players. Yeah,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson, who's a disgruntled employee, And you're like, all right, well,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: we got to find a guy that's really good that can,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: you know, from a passers standpoint, so we can get
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: to the quarterback. So these corners aren't dying living out
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: there on the island, their whole entire lives. If I'm
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: if I'm Joe, I'm more mad than anybody. The front office,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: the owner of everything's we pissed. But if you're Joe
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Burrow and you have the talent that you do, you
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: need a defense around you. And my question is, since
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: we're we're in uncharted waters with the NFL, how are
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: you responding to this player if he does inevitably sign
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: and comes in for camp. What if he comes in
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: week three? What if he comes in halfway through camp?
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: These guys are rookie, he's already gonna get hazed a
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: little bit. What happens now with these ten year vets
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: us in there being like, yo, bro, go fuck yourself,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Because even though this is a business, still there's still
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: a level of like camaraderie and team teamwork and having
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: a teammate, having your boys back. But how are you
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: gonna have your boys back if you're like ten point
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: four million dollars isn't good enough or the language isn't
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: actually perfect. It's hey, brother, I don't want to get corporate,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: but eventually you gotta go out out there and ball
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: the fuck out. You got you gotta get it done.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: And it's like, oht is like your your contract is guaranteed.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Oh his signing mods is ten point four million dollars.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: My bad, he's eighteen point nine million dollar contract? Am
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I saying that correctly?
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Projected? Whatever, You're seventeenth overall? Pick you get hurt, No,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: you don't be there. You gonna be fine. They're gonna
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: take care of you. Now, there's three franchises that everyone
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: kind of warns you about when you're going into the draft.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: The Bengals happen to be one of them. It seems
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: like they're taking a step up when it comes to
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: becoming like a better franchise. But ma'am tough, look tough,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Look what's a tougher Look this or Will Levis getting
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: a shoulder done? Just a couple of days and I'll jack.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: I'll turn over to you for two reasons. One massive
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Titans fan. Two the Steak is talking massive shit to me,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: So I'll have one.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: More bike, okay, Uh.
• 40:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know. I think that the Will Levis
• 40:57
  Speaker 10: is shocking as it is. It's that upsetting to me
• 41:01
  Speaker 10: if anything. It's great news because Will Levis didn't do
• 41:07
  Speaker 10: anything for us this past year, so and I'm kind
• 41:10
  Speaker 10: of done trying to stick up for him.
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: So why is it being announced now?
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: I think I saw YouTube.
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: About this Taylor as well. Why is it being announced
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: now that he has to go miss the entire season?
• 41:21
  Speaker 10: It happened recently? Is it from his last injury. I'm
• 41:26
  Speaker 10: I'm just confused on that aspect of it.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: But per my tweet, I'm pretty sure. I said, I'm
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: sure there's a good story for why he did it
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: the slate I'm too dumb the note right now and
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: he could be staring us all in the face. Does
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: anybody have an idea of why this would be?
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: It?
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Like, as contract's still gonna be guaranteed, he's not gonna
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: get cut like he would be. Everyone's thinking kim Ward's
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: going to be the starter. He will be the backup.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I know he wanted to get traded for a minute,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: but like, just like the dude they we're talking about
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: with Kittle that went in for Greenlaw when he got
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: hurt and then Greenlaw started to come back in the
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: game for the forty nine ers, he throws a pity
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: party for himself gets cut the next day. It's like, buddy,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: you could have made money for another team. There's thirty
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: one other teams out there looking for you. I don't
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: know the logic behind this. Maybe it was a situation
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: where hey, shoulders a little banged up, doesn't look like
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: you need surgery. Let's give a little TLC. It's gonna
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: get better over time. And maybe they just miscalculate the
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: situation that's putting a lot of pressure on the training
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: the training staff over there. I know the Titans have
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: a great staff. I know Todd Torrisseli just retired. But
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: it's weird, man, It's weird that he's stepping into this
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: being like, yeah, what is it July twenty first, and
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: if you're watching this Jely twining on my birthday and
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: it's like, I'm gonna camp starts in three four days
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: and you're just gonna go and dip out on the team.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Like something just doesn't give. And I feel like, if
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: it is feelings being hurt, which we're only speculating at
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: this point, that his feelings are hurt, he knows he's
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: not going to be the starter. We had these strong
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: we were all optimistic and excited about the Will Levis
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: era starting last year. Fast forward three to sixty five.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Now we're all disappointed, a little upset with how that
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: whole process turned out. It's okay to have your feelings hurt. However,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: zoom out a little bit. Realize just because you're in Nasville, Tennessee,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: and it feels like the weight of the world's in
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: your shoulders and all the radio stations are talking about
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: you and how you're this or that, you're a bummy
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of Jack mc feerso on the biggest podcast in the
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: world saying I'm not sticking up for him anymore. He
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: fucked that guy. Basically, that's loud right now. That is
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: loud right now. But the farther you get removed and
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: the more ability you have to zoom out of the situation,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: be like, Hey, this team, this fan base is upset
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: with me. Can illogically look at in the mirror? Can
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I look at myself in the miror and be like, yes,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: I see where I made some mistakes where they probably
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: don't trust me with the football anymore. Yeah, we could
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: probably look at that. We got a little yippie last year,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: but go to a new place, new coaching staff, new ideas,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: new morals, new coaching techniques, new way they talk about you.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: There's a way to work through that. Marcus Meriad was
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: on this podcast talking about how he got the yips
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: were one offseason when he was at Philly. He was
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: sitting there, he couldn't even do a slant route, and
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: then he got the coaching staff, the GM go up
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: to him, they nerd, they love him a little bit.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Marcus is now in the league, still a backup, but
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that came in for Washington
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: last year and absolutely crushed it. So if this is
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: a situation where Will is doing this because his feelings
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: are hurt and he wants the noise to go away, brother,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: the noise is only gonna get worse. Now there's a
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: if there's a good, a good reason for it, which
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I can't see right now, then good for you. I mean,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: your time was ending as a starter in the NFL.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: But also who knows, like you don't know what's going
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: to happen in Camerworth Ofugh. The whole season we saw
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: happened to Joe Burrow in his first season, we saw
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: it happen to a lot of rookie quarterbacks in their
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: first season.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: They get hurt.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Things happen, so he could have come in the field
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: and made himself some money. Tough look, dude, it's a
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: tough look. I like him too. I'm a fan of
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: him as a person, so that sucks. But you know,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: we're all gonna make the decision we're gonna make.
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: It doesn't seem like from all the Titans reports out
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: of it, it doesn't seem like the Titans are upset.
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: It doesn't seem like it was a bad blood like
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: type of situation. And a lot of people I know
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: just in the replies are like, this is something that
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: he tried to work on and it just didn't take
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: enough time and he actually had to get surgery, which
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: is the Titans seemed like there's no no love lost,
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: which hopefully that's the case. But only the Titan, only
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: the Titans and Will levis no.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Only the franchise knows, and the fan base is gonna
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: do with the fan base dies, right, They're gonna be upset,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: They're gonna say a whole bunch of things. They're gonna
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: be nasty boys on a podcast sometimes.
• 45:23
  Speaker 10: But I will say one thing like uh, as a starter.
• 45:27
  Speaker 10: I don't want Will Levis playing for the Titans as
• 45:29
  Speaker 10: a backup. I yeah, I would like him a lot
• 45:31
  Speaker 10: to be behind cam Ward, give him, you know, any
• 45:33
  Speaker 10: kind of advice or first year kind of pitfalls to avoid.
• 45:37
  Speaker 10: But we have Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle as our backups.
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: And that's yeah, that's scary if cam Wore goes down.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Scary fucking good. So who's your head coach? Yeah, I mean,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: who's your head coach? CALLI but Cally baby? And then
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: when Joe Burrow went down, when Kelly was the quarterback coach,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: who stepped in Browning? And what Browning? Do kind of dice?
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: The motherfucker's up for a bit, didn't He kind of
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: went off a little bit, didn't he. So don't don't
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: hit him. My boy Boiled now, I mean, don't hit
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: on Boil. All right, got my guys out there, Alan
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: and Boil out there, dished that motherfucker.
• 46:12
  Speaker 10: I hope it just doesn't get to that point, but
• 46:13
  Speaker 10: it does seem like all speculation from I am, but
• 46:17
  Speaker 10: I think Will Levis knew his time was up, and
• 46:19
  Speaker 10: they maybe gave him the option. Hey, you can go
• 46:21
  Speaker 10: get this surgery and it makes it look like we're
• 46:24
  Speaker 10: not benching you as opposed to you taking an injury.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know that is something that happens. Those conversations
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: take place.
• 46:30
  Speaker 10: Save the ego a little bit. Who knows only they
• 46:35
  Speaker 10: trade them. I don't know they keep them, but.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: It's cam Wart season.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Kim Ward season, Cam Warred season. Isn't too early to
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: look at the schedule. What's your expectation, Mic Peerson.
• 46:47
  Speaker 10: I don't know, it might be too early. I still
• 46:49
  Speaker 10: I feel like I'm really enjoying these last few weeks
• 46:52
  Speaker 10: of July before yeah, before potentially my whole fall is ruined.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, they can take them. Your fan, Yeah, you're fan.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Was in a tough spot with volunteers.
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: It's scary.
• 47:04
  Speaker 10: So I'm gonna hold off on predictions right now, but
• 47:09
  Speaker 10: you know I could see us win in the AFC
• 47:12
  Speaker 10: for sure.

• 49:43
  Speaker 5: There is no telling what happens if they lose that
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: game in that type of fashion.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: If they lose that game in that type of fashion.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: We're taking different planes homeboys, we're taking different planes home.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Like it's fun to poking product Will, But this one
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: just feels like it mean more. I think I think
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: it would.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: It would break me if because because'.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: And that's coming from a guy who's got gone through
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, gone through a lot in his life
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: as a Game Cocks fan. Dude, If the if the
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Michigan beats Nebraska again, after the way Will's talking for
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: a fourth year in a row, we've gotta no joke.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: We gotta sit down with him and all what's it
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: called when someone's on drugs and intervention? We have an
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: intervention with him? Yeah, and we have to legit him
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: now and be like, you need to stop doing this.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: It's too it's too much. You're doing it to yourself.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: And he knows that to an extent. But then I
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: always think like he knows what he's doing. But then
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: a piece me's like, does he really though? Does he
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: actually know what he's doing? Scary time, man, scary time
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: to be alive. If your last name is Compton, all right,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: because he has I don't even think he understands how
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: much is riding on this it's tough. Let's get into
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: UFC three eighteen. Let's get to UFC three eighteen. Listen,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I was boys in Canada, thirdwell country up there a
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: little bit when it comes internet, internet connection, I was
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: having a tough time, having a tough time. Ended up
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: catching the Holloway Poier fight. We did Taylor's pick, Will's pick.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Obviously Taylor's pick one. We went Max Hallway. I didn't
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: love that I won because you kind of wanted Lil
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Wayne walks out Poorier, you know, diamonds out there for
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: the last time. All of New Orleans is standing up,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: clapping this guy standing ovation between rounds. They're loving this man.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: But it seemed to me Poorio was old, he knew
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: he was done. Max hollow was quicker, faster, stronger, and
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: it wasn't close. It wasn't There was a couple times
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: they kind of clipped him a little bit. And everybody's
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: got a puncher chance when it comes to UFC, but
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: even when they're on the ground, I feel like Max
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: could have probably finished him in that first or second round,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: and it just didn't. It seemed like Max is like
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: he can't go out like this. It felt that way
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: kind of felt like he was just like this, DU's
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: a legend. I respect a shit out of him. This
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be his night. I'm actually ruining his
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: night right now. Let me get up with this boy.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Because when we when the fight started, I'm sitting with
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of talents, friends and family, and
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I ain't say. I was like, if this goes all
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: five rounds, it goes on in the last ten seconds
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: they do the point at the ground, it'll feel a
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: little stage to me. And sure enough we got there
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: the fifth round and he Max Hallway points at the ground,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Dustin Pooria gives him the nod, and Dustin Poya just
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: puts some hands up like that. The whole day. He's
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: like it, Yeah, I've seen that one too many times.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Big fan of both of these guys, thought it was
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: very cool how Max Holloway took the mic from DC. Hey,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I'm the champ whatever, who gives a fuck UFC, it's
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: on you. This night's about Dustin Poria. He is not
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: my night, not my night, and that's cool. I loved
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: the highlight reel they showed. Thank you, dude, I'm I
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: don't about Yoah. We all getting teered up little bit watching.
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: That, especially him, man, because he doesn't just been through
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: so much in his journey, Like there's no reason he
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: shouldn't have been unified champion at some point. And honestly,
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: I mean I wanted to see him go out on
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: a win, but him going out how he did is
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: like that's Dustin's fight game, Like that's his career.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's and he's.
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: Never been like he's always like a very good winner
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: and a very good loser, except for when he came
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: after Mike that one time.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how weird was that?
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: I know that was that was We let that go
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: because it's, you know, he's out of the game now, weird.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, put a pin in that because I do want
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: to mention something about Mike, but you ahead.
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, but you know, I'm just like it was a
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: very poor way to go out, Like he always took
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: the hard road and his last fight was as hard
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: as it gets. So respect man, Diamonds are forever. I'll
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: miss him in the UFC. We watched him grow up.
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: I hope his life after fighting is as good as
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: it can be.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Let's get a moment of silence the.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Diamond thank you.
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: But I bet one.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: That's tight. Yeah, dude, Pourier coming at Mike and then
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Patty Pimlet after the fight coming at Mike. Mike's the
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: nicest guy in the world, and he's like, these guys
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: are talking about him like he's a dirty fighter. Mike,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: are you a dirty fighter? Is this something you're doing
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: that I don't know about, because it seems like these
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: guys are like they they hate them, but they love them, Like,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: he's a great guy, but he's in the ring, he's
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: an asshole, he's a he's a dirt back. Odd.
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: It's odd, very one of one of Poier's guys. He
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: asked me, He's like, what what's Mike really like like
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: outside of fighting? It's like, is he a good dude?
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: I'm like, dude, there's honestly, he's like one of the
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: people I look up to most in my life. He's
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: an awesome person from a character standpoint, right, They're like, oh, really,
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: like are you sure? I'm like yes, I would die
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: on that statement. And it just it doesn't make sense to.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Me, because yeah, he must do something, Yeah, he must
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: change into something.
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: He hits him hard too, and nobody likes getting hit hard.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: I know, it's I know it's lie twenty second when
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: you're watching the show, but I cannot wait for UFC
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: at the White House. Have you seen some of the
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: possible cards? And Dan has already said it's way too
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: far out. I think he even said John Jones is
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: not gonna be on. He can't be trusted, he can't
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: be judging with that big of a thing. But I saw,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: like John Jones as Aspital Hospital McGregor Chandler, which we
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: all thought it was dead. This is the only thing
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: in my mind that's like this shit could actually happen. Yeah,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: because I think he went back in the in the
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: testing pool. No he did. Boys, can we get Chandler McGregor?
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Do we think it's gonna happen?
• 55:40
  Speaker 10: I don't think so logic and I wanted to. I
• 55:44
  Speaker 10: want that fight to happen, just like everybody else says.
• 55:47
  Speaker 10: But at some point, like when do we kind of
• 55:50
  Speaker 10: when does it get like old?
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Like it's old?
• 55:53
  Speaker 10: No, I'm saying, like when does McGregor's like stick of
• 55:56
  Speaker 10: like I'm gonna fight again? And then he doesn't, like
• 55:59
  Speaker 10: when do people just like stop caring? At some point
• 56:01
  Speaker 10: do they ever like or I mean it's Connor McGregor, Like,
• 56:05
  Speaker 10: I understand who he is and what he's done for
• 56:07
  Speaker 10: the sport, like probably biggest combat fighter ever.
• 56:11
  Speaker 8: At what point does he get old.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: He's got eight one million pay per views.
• 56:17
  Speaker 10: And I'm gonna watch it no matter how many times
• 56:19
  Speaker 10: he fights, if he ever does again. But I'm like,
• 56:20
  Speaker 10: at some point, we gotta get this on paper.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: You want something's gotta give vibes right now.
• 56:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm just starting to get a little frustrated. But
• 56:26
  Speaker 10: it's okay, But I want to see that fight and
• 56:29
  Speaker 10: this It was unfair.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: For me to ask you this question, right if we
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: got done and talk about the Titans in.
• 56:32
  Speaker 10: The doll Yeah, mentally, yeah, I'm just thinking I can't.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Expect you to come give me a positive answer about anything. Yeah, okay,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: if you think it's gonna happen.
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is the only way McGregor comes back.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: As if it's at the White House, I think him
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: dropping his meat pick out there. It's also trending in
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: a good direction. Yeah, he's been in the weight room.
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: If you saw the photo, there was a dumbbell attached,
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: which is insane.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up.
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: It has to be of the Like how long is
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: you look at this photo? Well, I know you gotta
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: know the content you're talking about.
• 57:06
  Speaker 9: I know your guy.
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: It's film room. Yeah, it's one of the core values
• 57:08
  Speaker 5: of busting with the boys.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: No doubt film room.
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: But bro, I.
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: Got I mean, I'll have to show it to you.
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: It's crazy.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Is it weird that I'm ready?
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: No?
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Is it odd that I'm ready?
• 57:19
  Speaker 5: It should be ready.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: That's what it is. Is a tomahawk.
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: It's tomahawks.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: This is it.
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: If your kids are watching, no, don't I showed him.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: What do you guys think?
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: But no, dude, I think. I think if it's gonna happen,
• 57:36
  Speaker 5: this will be it. If it doesn't happen on the
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: fourth of July next year, then he's never coming back.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: I agree with that statement. And if you're data talking
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: about John Jones, you can't be trusted, Like do you
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: trust Connor McGregor?
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: John Jones will be on that card?
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Oh you think it's a little bit of psychology.
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he'll be on it.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: He's gotta be on it. He retired for four days.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah shit, I had to retire. I come out of retire
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: for that too.
• 58:03
  Speaker 11: I also saw potential Islam versus Ilia if he's trying
• 58:07
  Speaker 11: to get that third belta, no shit. If he like
• 58:10
  Speaker 11: still has both and he's going for the third, I
• 58:12
  Speaker 11: think that's.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying. I after watching Ili live, he has
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: to give me a reason to doubt him. I really
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: believe he's beating everybody, beating fucking everybody. I love that.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: What else is on the dock? Do you have anything
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: else we want to talk about? Scotty Scheffler. Yeah, nineteen
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: and ninety seven days, four Masters, same as uh, Tiger
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Woods incredible? Get him around aplause? Is he the goat?
• 58:36
  Speaker 10: Then?
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: Does that make him the goat?
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Not yet?
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Not yet?
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of golf left.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm here to get the opinions about golf because
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know shit about golf. He's on his way, right,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: He's on the correct path at this point.
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: I think what should be looked into though, because I'm
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: not too sure. I gotta believe Tiger was probably younger,
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: which is this like kind of getting I love Scotty Scheffler,
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: but it's kind of getting like washed in the headline
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: of their first and fourth majors were this far apart.
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: But Tiger was probably like four years younger too. That's crazy,
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: so but I hope Scotty can do it.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: That'd be awesome.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Some about Tiger Woods too, even as a kid, like
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: I never watched golf, right, but for some reason, even
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: I knew about tiger Woods. Everyone knew about Tiger Woods.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: It would be on. They'd be like that guy.
• 59:21
  Speaker 6: I think the main thing that they have in common,
• 59:24
  Speaker 6: and it may be a huge difference in how they
• 59:26
  Speaker 6: have it in common, but Tiger Woods was so separated
• 59:30
  Speaker 6: from the game, having his own game just right here,
• 59:33
  Speaker 6: in his own level of what is good enough that
• 59:38
  Speaker 6: it separated him from everybody, whereas Scotty is more like,
• 59:42
  Speaker 6: what is most important to me is being a good husband,
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: a good dad, a good son. Like that's what's important,
• 59:50
  Speaker 6: not all these trophies. So it's kind of funny they
• 59:52
  Speaker 6: juxtappose each other, but they're also the same.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Wow different but the same.
• 59:59
  Speaker 6: Mismo paro differentie.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: I loved his postgame presser. As a competitor. You watch,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: if you watch it through the lens of like competition,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: you're like, Yo, this dude, what the fuck's he talking about?
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: But when you are like out of it, you're like,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: the everything he's talking about is so true because every
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: time you are able to reach a goal that you've
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: been seeking for a certain amount of time, once you
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: get there, you truly enjoy it for maybe twenty four hours,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: not even, and then you're thinking about how can I
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: achieve something next, and it's just this crazy mental warf
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: that goes on. So good for him to have a
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: good head on his shoulders. Man, that's cool. Hang out
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: with this kid right there. I love that. I love that.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Let's get us some nitty gritty real quick. Go back
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: up to the notes for me. NFL Players Association, the leader,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: Lloyd Howell Junior has resigned. Why why is he? I'll
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: tell you right now. Investigations they've revealed that the nfl
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: PA is looking into doing a couple of things. My
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: man was taking trips expenses. Where was he headed strip clubs,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: expensing strip clubs, calling them, calling them business? What is it?
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Business things? Businesses? That the political correct term player engagement,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: player engagement. Miami. I will say, every time we went
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: to Miami and played in Miami, if that's what you
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: call it, A lot of my teammates were doing some
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: player engagement the same as Lloyd Howell. They they I
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: don't know. There's like a two story one that they
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: have good food at.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: Apparently, as a football player, are you an independent contractor?
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: As a football player, are you an independent contractor? Like
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 5: are you your own you know, like fighters are independent contractors,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: like they're their own business.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: A good question, I think off the top of my
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: head without putting a whole lot of thought into it.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: The answers yes and no, like, yeah, you're an independent
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: contractor because you are like you're a part of a team.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: But really like that eventually a team won't want you. You
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: got to go somewhere.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 5: Else, similar to strippers.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: Wow, wow, maybe he was doing.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Some yeah, some studies he was, Yeah, business, Yeah he was.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: How do they operate? Cash business? I guess it. I
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: get it. Flexibility that plays a lot in the NFL.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: It was well too, more aerodynamic less clothing. Yeah, I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: get that. Dude, play an engagement. I like that. Sure,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: I like that. Now, if you guys haven't watched the
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: show for a long time, you know my opinion about
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: the NFLPA will and I've had a bunch of arguments
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: about that. If you want to get into those, you
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: can go find him yourself. But it seems like I'm right.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: It seems like the argument is turned into I'm right,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: and my boy jac Trader resigns, says, I'm taking my family.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: I'm getting out of here. I don't know anything about
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: if he was a part of anything like that. I
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: truly have no idea. I saw this on Twitter per
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: Will Compton's Twitter, when I was standing in line getting
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: shoulder shrugged at in a nice way, in a nasty way,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: but shrugging back eventually. So Jase Jarrett, love the guy
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: training with him in Carlsbad, California for a few years.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Awesome guy's absolute workhorse. Love him to death. NFLPA, you
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: guys know how I feel about you. You know how
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: I feel about Okay. That's all I got on that, dude.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: You guys have your own opinions on it. And this
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: whole thing was per ESPN. ESPN said this, Yes, all right.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: ESPN says, we get We're given credit where credit is due.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: That's all I got, man. I don't even want to
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: get in the weeds because then I start being nasty
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: and saying a whole bunch of shit. Lloyd Howell stumbag
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: just like the rest of them, type talk and I
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: just don't want to. I don't want to do that.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: You know, can I ask?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 6: Can I ask one quick question?
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Should you ask me anything you want? Buddy? As long
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: as we're recording, okay?
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: Perfect?
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 6: First off, JPR, are we recording.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Recording?
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: You're good to go.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 9: Thank God.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 6: Secondly, Taylor, when y'all have talked about the NFLPA, that
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 6: was before I was here, I don't have a good
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 6: understanding of it, and I'm truly wondering, like what are
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 6: what kind of decisions do they make for players? Like
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 6: what can they do that like affects a player's life
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: In the NFL.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: They're a union, so they work on all the benefits
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: that we get, and they work on negotiations. When the
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: new CBA is, everyone's always talking about how we need
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: to get more read new based on what the owners
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: get and the players get house it needs to be
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty and players need to get paid more
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: and all these things are fully guaranteed contracts. Uh, marijuana
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: needs to be legal or unillegal. Those are like the
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: kind of the hot topic headlines. Those. There's a lot
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: more other things they do. They spend a lot of money.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: They go to Hawaii, every single year they have about
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: two hundred players out they spend money on that. You
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: big have about thirteen thousand dollars a year to them,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: and not a whole lot comes up. You have the
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: same three guys coming to your building tell you all
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: the things you can and can't do. You get guy
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: like guys like Dennis Kelly. I'm answering more comprehensive questions,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: they can't answer them. It's it's a shit show, dude.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: It is a shit show. And it's structurally the way
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: the NFL is. Everybody wants guarantee contracts, you're not gonna
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: be able to get them because you have the one
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: percent of the one percent in the NFL. Those guys
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: are getting broke off making a whole bunch of money.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Those guys they're great, they're they're solid. Then if your
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: middle tier guys were probably talking about, you know, we
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: want guaranteed contracts as well. But the majority of the
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: NFL is filled with guys that are rookies or guys
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: fighting on the roster spot. So anytime you get into
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: a CBA negotiation with the owners, any proposal given the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: PA has to bring to the players, which is voted
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: on so the NFL owners all they have to do
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: is be like, hey, we'll bump up minimum wage by
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: you know, I think when I first sat in the
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: league was four or twenty thousand dollars hilarious number, and
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: now it's close to a million dollars, might be like
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: nine or might be even into a million now. And
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: so yeah, so guys that are making minimum are making
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: way more. How am I supposed to when I'm making
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: sixteen million dollars a year? Look at a guy who's
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: making five hundred thousand dollars a year and being like,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: hold off for the for the youth, for the people
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: coming up before us. NFL stands for not for long.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: I understand why those guys bend the knee. I get it.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to be when of those guys
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: are like, we should get guaranteed. Listen. It's a great thought,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: but it's unless you have all the quarterbacks do it,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna work out.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 12: Man.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: And the PA itself too, Like my opinion truly started
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: about the PA when my ped thing happened, and I
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: literally my wife sees the letters. She starts getting all
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: freaked out, and I'm like, dude, judicial system and isn't
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: before proven guilty, Like, we'll figure this out. I didn't
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: do it, blah blah blah blah. I start going through
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: the channels. I got to pull my agent and they're like,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: you're fucked. Like there's no way you're going to get suspended.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: There's no way. So that was where my belief in
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: the NFLPA looking at for our best interesting how we
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: can have something this and it's like, hey, you're responsibles
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: in your body. I get that, you're also going to
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: take supplements as you want to be as good as
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: possible and feel as healthy as possible. So that's when
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: my hatred for the NFLPA really started to Snowball Will
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: who was a part of PA. He would go to
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: the things. He's got a completely different perspective on all
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: of that. So we've gone back and forth a lot.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: I would say this would probably lean in the favor
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: of me saying the NFLPA is no boy no, no
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: boy no. So that's just that's my thing. That's my
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: little take on it.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: To your guaranteed contracts. This year Seattle's second round pick.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 5: He's the first rookie outside of the first round to
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: sign a fully guaranteed contract.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: No ship with the language of that is maybe he
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: got less money, Yeah, get less money. Also not necessarily
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: a friend of the show, not necessarily a fan of me.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: Let's give a round a plus.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 9: T J.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: Watt signed the largest construct, non quarterback construct in NFL history.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: He deserves it. Guy's a stud. Guy hates my guts,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: rightfully so, but still gonna give credit where credit is due.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Guys an absolute workhorse stud. All Right, I think I'm good.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 9: You feel good?
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: I feel good? Do you guys feel good? Feel great? Oh?
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, let me see.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, so we have a summary of what so essentially Taylor,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 6: I typed in very lengthy at the top of this,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 6: like a full thing. You can click pause if you're
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 6: at home and want to read that whole thing. But
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 6: I broke it down in full detail.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: The real the dogs, the real dudes, the tier ones
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: sat through this entire thing.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 6: Oh for sure, and the real deer ones definitely hit
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 6: pause on that, and we're like, hold on because Sherman
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 6: could have just typed anything. So I tried to keep
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 6: it completely unbiased, impartial. It's would you like to read
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: it aloud?
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: Taylor?
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 9: No?
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: No, no, you know I don't do well all right?
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 6: In summary, Will should stay, stay cool, stay funny, and
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 6: be firm behind the scenes. He leads the brand, and
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 6: part of the leadership is knowing when to turn a
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 6: mistake into content and when to lay down expectations without
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 6: damaging morale. Sherman's mess up was big, but fixable. Address
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 6: it with clarity, the move forward with even tighter systems,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 6: and maybe a few laughs at his expense. I that
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 6: is almost verbatim what Will.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 5: Did probably will probably put it in chad GYP Yeah,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 5: he said, what Will probably put it in chadgy? He
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 5: probably diddh.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: I liked. I liked stay cool and be firm behind
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: the scenes. But how do you like? Mood dictates a
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: lot of funny. Mood dictates a lot of funny.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 6: Oh and that's why in the moment he just whoop,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 6: closed his mouth, sat there for fifteen minutes silently.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: How much were you just in hell?
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 9: Uh? I?
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 6: I sat there silently for about ten minutes, and then
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 6: I made it funny. I don't remember what I said.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 6: We'd have to ask chef, and Will laughed and then
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 6: he like did one of these types of laughs so
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 6: and turned slowly to me, turned slowly to me and goes,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 6: now is not the time, and I just go absolutely
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: absolutely and just get back on my computer.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't that good.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: He did laugh though.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: Did you apologize after afterwards? You did apologize?
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 6: Oh that whole Hey, I'm gonna stop saying sorry thing.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: You should have been there, because I think I I
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 6: said sorry twenty times after we're done recording, and then
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 6: spoke to him also after work and apologize maybe ten
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 6: more times.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Think you would say okay, and it was.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 6: It was a good combo.
• 1:10:14

  Speaker 2: want to do it, no problem, we'll go do something else.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: Oh good.

• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: I'll show you what that looks like. But it's a
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: lot of work.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: Was that what your childhood was like?
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: Was your dad very similar that way? If you're gonna
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: do something we're doing one hundred percent.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So my dad was my high school football coach,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: so picture from nineteen. He started coaching in the late seventies,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: coached ironhead Hayward coach. I mean, he coached some real dudes.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: Coached me and all my brothers. He coached at my
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: high school, public school in New Jersey, typical suburban public
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: high school from nineteen eighty five, the year I was
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: born until twenty to thirteen. He was at our school
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: that we grew up going that we grew up and
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: went to, so picture, traditional high school football coach, hard, intense,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: all the picture. It that was him, and we want
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: a shit ton of games. He want ten state titles.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: Like we were good, but it was serious, Like we
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: grew up going to summer camps and we slept on
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: the floor of a dorm room in a sleeping bag,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: and we were working camps and going. That was our
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: summer vacations. Like that's all we knew was football, locker rooms,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: water boy, ball boy. And then eventually grew up and
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: played for him. But yeah, we there wasn't a whole
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: lot of just like casualness to our sports and journey
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: as kids. And I know it's not for everybody, but
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: obviously I'm thankful for it because that's where I learned.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: That's where my whole foundation was laid.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 9: And are you trying to lay the same foundation for
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 9: your boys?
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as they want to do it. Yeah, right, So,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: like I have two boys.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 9: And did you have the same choice when you were
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: growing up?
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we loved it. Like my dad did not have
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: to beg us to go throw the ball, to go run,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: and we played everything. We played basketball, we played baseball
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: growing up. I did track in high school, basketball all
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: four years in high school. So it wasn't like today
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: where all right, eighth ninth grade, you're gonna be a
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: football player. You're just gonna do football for four years
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: like that. We didn't have that back when we were
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: growing up. So we played everything. But like he never
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: had to beg us. He never made us go to
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: the gym, He never made us go out to the field.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: Now when we went, it was hard. Like looking back
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: what we were doing in eighth ninth grade relative to the
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: times that we were in like it was it was
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: pretty intense. Like our weight room, we were lifting with
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: the high school kids and it was four days a
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: week in the summer, and it was hot, and it
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: was sleep away camp, and we were exposed to that
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: since we were in middle school. But he never had
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: He never made us go. It was never forced upon us.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: We loved it, but it was hard, and I'm thankful
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Do you see the same thing with your kids? Do
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: they love it? Are they all about it?
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: I think they? I think they love it. I think
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: we live in very different times, right. I think we
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: live in very It's a very much more distracted world
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: of youth sports. I think there's it's a lot more
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: highlight driven, it's a lot more social media driven. I
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: think there's a lot more pressure on these kids because
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: they know every single kid, both around town and around
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: the country now, who they are, what their names are,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: how hard they throw, how big they all, how t
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: are they all, how many home runs they've hit. It's
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: all accessible. Grown up. You knew who the star was
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: of your town. You knew who maybe the town next
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: to you because you played against him in all your sports.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: That was it. Until I went to Miami in high school,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't a foot for a summer camp. I didn't
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: know what else was out there. Like all I knew
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: was North Jersey sports, and you know, lived in a
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: very you know, kind of little bubble. But then the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: kids now they're playing in tournaments out of state. You know,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: they're going to Texas. We live in North Carolina, they're
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: going to Texas. They've been to Florida, Georgia, They've been
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: all over and played teams from all over the country.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: So there's this there's a bigger scale of like what
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: good looks like at twelve years old, fourteen years old,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: and it's dangerous. It's hard if you're not My kids
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: aren't the biggest kids, they're not the most physical kids.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: They're not the big grown man at twelve. Like you
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: go to some of these events, your confidence can get
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: shot pretty quick because you look around and there's a
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: twelve walks in he looks like you, and he's throwing
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: eighty I'm serious. Some of these kids are insane.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: We saw a picture the other day of some five
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: star war crews seventeen years old and he looks like
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: a forty five year old man. Yeah, and it's just like,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: what's in the water, what's going on? Because it seems
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: like everyone's just getting bigger, stronger fast.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: I just walk out of these baseball, basketball, whatever tournaments.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: We've done mostly baseball with the boys on like that level.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: And I'll be walking out and mind you, they're twelve
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: thirteen years old, and I'm a fairly tall guy. I'm
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: walking out of these parks and I'm looking around and
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: the twelve year old kid who just threw seventy five
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: on the mound, who's five eleven and dad's five to nine.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: It's I don't know, there's something in the water. There's
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: something going on.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: PDS. This this is going on.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: Listen. I don't know what's going on, but there's something
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: going on because kids, I know everyone always says it
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: wasn't like this in my day, but it wasn't that
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: long ago. Kids did not look like they do now.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: To answer your question, they love it. I think like
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: all kids, they get caught up and like, that's the
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: best kid. He's the best kid. Oh, he got selected
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: to this event. He got selected to this fest. Like
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: I was telling me, it's not a race to twelve.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: But it's very hard to convince young kids that the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: moment they're in right now doesn't define their athletic career forever.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: Right, And that's a battle there right now.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: It's right, it's there right now, and then they're making
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: these kids to be superheroes. It that's our biggest struggle.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Has there ever been? Has there been a struggle for
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: you for your kids being like, oh, my dad did X,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: Y and Z with his career, and they feel like
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: they should live up to some sort of expectations.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sure. And again, we live in Charlotte, which you know, obviously,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: the bulk of my career, the bulk of my success
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: was there. I think if we lived in Nashville, it
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: would be different. If we lived in where you know,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: should I think it'd be different if we lived in
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: a city that I didn't play the bulk of my career.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: The vast majority of the people in the Carolinas know
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: me from my career, and yeah, when they come in
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: or there are people going, that's all. Since kid. I
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: hope he strikes out, that's all. Since kid. He's not
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: that good. He is that good. That's his daughter. I'm
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: sure because.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: They're comparing, they're comparing their kids versus your kids.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: His dad was actually, trust me, they want to beat
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: our teams. And I coach a bunch of the kids sports.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: I coach each kid for one season, and yeah, they
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: want to beat us. There's no question. I'm aware of that.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: I make my kids aware of that because I'm not
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: going to shelter them from that. Like if you guys
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: want to do this a The competitive landscape of sports
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: has never been higher at the young age. It's just
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: it's just the nature of the world we live in, right,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: wrong or indifferent. And when you're around here, especially some
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: of these people that they might not like me, they
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: might whatever it is, there's a lot of people that
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: are not rooting for you to have success. And you
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: better be mentally strong enough that that does not waiver
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: anything you do. But again, they're young, they're in middle school.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: It's hard, they're very INFLUENTID it's a very unique world.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: But uh, we don't get it all right, But I
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: teach my kids we're going to compete our ass off
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: and we're going to do all the work humanly possible
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: in between your competitions to give yourself the utmost chance
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: to have success. Whatever the result is from there. Great
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: you hit three home runs, Great you strike out five times.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: Did you do the work and compete your ass off
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: and go out and battle if you did that, we'll
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: fix the rest. But the second you stop competing, the
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: second you stop putting the work in, the second you
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: start feeling sorry that that's the part I don't I
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: don't have a lot of patience for that.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 9: And you're saying that they're learning about these kids from
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 9: other states and everything else just through like social media, Yeah,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 9: which is true. It's like growing up playing travel baseball,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 9: you wouldn't necessarily know, like you're still coming across like
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 9: kids you were throwing seventy plus, but you wouldn't see
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 9: until the're warming up on the mount and be like, oh, fuck,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 9: this guy's pretty good.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: You know, the second the game's come out. You know,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: ay Will Compton he plays for the Oshcosh Select Boom
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: Boom Elite National. I hope he doesn't pitch because Taylor
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: he throws eight.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: They know every kid on every team, whether they're from
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: California at North Carolina, that doesn't.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: Matter up your mind around because like because games can
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: go on and lost, like just before you start, because
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: growing up as like baseball, like baseball, basketball, football, like
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: you kind of just showed up and played and you
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: hear about like the kids that were really good at baseball,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: they would start going to the camps doing things like hockey.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: My dad grew up in a dina, Minnesota, and my
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: brother got really good at hockey. So at a young age,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: it was like, we need to go to all these
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: travel events and do all those travel things. And for
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: me it was like, yeah, just keep playing sports and
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: get a scholarship.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: If not like it is, it is what it is.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: Football is a little different.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: Football is a little different. It's kind of like because
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: i mean, until kids hit puberty and like kind of
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: understand what they are and who they are. It's like
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: it's that you'll find out who you are in the future.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: With that Baseball, it seems like guys are getting figured
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: out quickly. Basketball seems that way. Hockey for sure, Like
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: it's crazy to me that kids go to a billet family. Like, oh,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: you're fourteen years old, do you have an opportunity to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: be making hockey or you're going to move up north
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: to Michigan or Minnesota and you're gonna go live with
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: a different family. You don't know, so you have a
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: better opportunity to do this. Yeah, can't imagine.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the culture of hockey is very unique. That's the most.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know a lot about it. We haven't been
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: hockey family, but it's definitely the most intense, the most
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: that kind of track almost more like Olympic like Olympic sports,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: where these young tennis stars, these prodigies in golf, tennis.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: You know, these young girls go live at IMG at
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: fourteen and there's these academies around the world for tennis
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: and golf and all that. Almost gymnastics is kind of
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: like that. Hockey fits in that. That's what's so cool
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: about football though, Like so on the other side of
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: the coin. We coach our kids, both my boys, on
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: our middle school football team, and it's just our school,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: seventh and eighth grade kids at our school. We got
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: fifty some odd kids that come out for the team
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: and we represent our school like it's easy. It's what
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: we It's what I remember growing up, Like you just
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: there was no get this kid from here, get this
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: kid from here, had a ball. But whoever showed up
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: plays like whoever's on your school and comes out for
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: the team, that's your team, and you just coaches shit
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: out of them and see how good you can get.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: It feels like on a national from a national standpoint, though,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: it is kind of shifting a little bit because you
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: brought up IMG and these like bigger school that are
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: essentially recruiting guys. We have j C. Tretder, Jase Latham
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: excuse me, Jace Latham on and he was in Wisconsin
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: right and he was kind of doing whatever, and they
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: recruited him to go down to IMG and as where
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: all the four and five star kids go. And that's
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: just it seems like that's starting to go that way.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: It's getting football. It's getting younger and younger and younger.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: That used to not happen till you were junior in
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: high school. Now it's happening as a rising ninth grader.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: And now it's going to move even younger now to
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: the middle school kids are going to relocate. The thing
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: that's unique about football is seven on seven is kind
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: of taking over that travel baseball, travel basketball AAU circuit
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: where it is more it's not school dominated, it's true
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: travel ball collect as many good kids make your whatever
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: seven on seven team and then go around to all
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: these events that more of the AAU circuit, the euybl
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: And and you know, travel basket baseball and all that.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: The wholesomeness though, of school sports is still the strongest.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: In football. That's where kids really get recruited. That's where
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: colleges still know your high school coach. The other sports
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: are losing that a little bit, and I don't necessarily
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: love it. I think there's there's something special about playing
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: for your town, your school with your buddies Friday night.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: You can't it's hard to describe to a kid nowadays
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: what that looks like. But like, I don't know how
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: you guys feel, but like, looking back on that, the
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: highlight of my entire football journey, I had really fun times,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: great guys, Like there's something cool playing with your buddies
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: at your school Friday night, in front of your town
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: and going to try to beat the town next door
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: to you that you grew up playing against those kids.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know, man, I just don't think you
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: ever beat that. You cannot be.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, just put on k Chasey the Boys of Fault.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: That song doesn't get you fired up, he got juiced.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 9: Just the purity of the game. Like you don't know
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 9: that a Monster energy drink is bad for you, but
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 9: you want to go to the gas stations with you
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 9: don't know that when you call Yeah, if I take
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 9: one of these, I'm gonna have some more juice before
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 9: the game. Oh, what's getting your ankles tape? That seems
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 9: like I don't know if I should. That's it's kind
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 9: of cool. You watch Friday Night Lights, like right, the
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 9: purity of the game in high school football, there's just there's.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: Nothing like that, and playing being able to play, be
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: lucky enough to play every level of the game of football.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: The fact that high school is the best in our
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: minds is great because everybody, every kid can go and
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: play high school football and feel that Friday night Lights.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah where you you kind of feel like you're the
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: main event. And if you're lucky enough to grow up
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: in a smaller town, they you cannot fucking beat it. Dude.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: Like we my sophomore year of high school, just a
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: bunch of gritty white kids. We go fifteen to oh
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: and go to State down in Phoenix, and the town
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: itself put up little signs a closed for State.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: It's Friday night down like the movies. It's that's just real.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: It's amazing, and you feel like for that moment, you're like,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: we are the main attractions.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 9: It's when you're like you're you're you're obviously extremely motivated
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 9: in college and when you play in the NFL and
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 9: professional ball, but when you're when you're in high school,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 9: like I feel like it's when you're just the most inspired.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 9: You know nothing about the business side of everything, You
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 9: know nothing about out any of the bureaucracies that go
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 9: on with depth charts or any of that stuff at
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 9: the highest level in college, like high school, it's like
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 9: you are just the most inspired by players you want
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 9: to be like players you want to emulate. Just living
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 9: the dream in your head a little bit on a
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 9: Friday night. It is.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: It is the best, and you got even more pureform
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: because like those rivals in twenty four seven, where.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: Those are starting just starting, so it wasn't I was
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: in its infancy of like rankings and player rankings and
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: stars and all. I was just starting when I was
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: in high school.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: Because I remember going to like twenty four to seven, Yeah,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: and after every game we didn't get a statue ourselves,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: so I would like wait for that to load up
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: to go how many tackles did I really get? I
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: feel like I got eight and it'd be like three.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: I can see how they got there. Like, you know,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: I felt like that's a pile. I was a big
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: pile jumper, big pile jumper. I got the assist there boys,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: you're welcome.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: Got them down from out. The guy that's doing the
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: PA announcing just he just found the closest number he
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: can find. He's just saying your name all day.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: You're a hero, right exactly one on the tap.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: But we're losing that, You're like we talk about IMG
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: and those academies. That's one thing. There's public high schools
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: all around the country that kids are going to four
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: different schools in four years. There's public schools that they're
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: getting apartment buildings down the street and you can just
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: move in, write your new address on and you go
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: to a new school like that. Yeah, Florida's got school choice.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: You can transfer free of charge, go to any school
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: within your county and not have the need to live there.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: Like it's it's the wild West right now.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: When I when I was in high school, I was
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: I was in a small town, right I told you
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: the state things. Sophomore the next year we go like
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: three and seven. We were really bad, and we played
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: a school in Scottsdale, Arizona, and one of the coaches
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: coached me and Papa Warner, and he's like, hey, Taylor,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: he's got the frame for being off. It's the line.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: And they kind of started doing the little recruiting thing.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: So all my dad did was go get an apartment
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: that was a block away. And now you're in the
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: district and I was. I started school like before the
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: end of my junior year.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: You were ahead of the times.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: Ahead of the times, man, the best decision I ever made.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: I was heartbroken to leave my boys though, because that's
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: what it's all about.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 5: Friday we had.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: One day Harry Queen. And because the Cave Creek, Arizona,
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: like they don't allow any franchises, but like in the
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: eighties they're like, hey we'll allow Dairy Queen. That was
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: a big deal for the town. So Fridays before games,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: we will go smack a blizzard before game, go play,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: thinking like yeah, we're juiced. Opp yeah, I'm starting to
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: get my cows up. That's all I care about is
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: you have a little more weight on handle this double
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: team a little bit better. And then after that it's
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: like who's got a fake ID, Who's that's it right there.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 9: Catching a cramp at the after party because you played
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 9: so much.

  Speaker 1: I got lots of them.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 9: Headstrong on the bus.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: The music, high school locker room music. I think every
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: school in America for the most part listen to the
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: same like six songs.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah days, yeah, I mean the amount of times you
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: hear a thunderstruck. But every time I sitting there like.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: Ah, like I wasn't like in high school. I don't
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: know you, Like in high school, like we all like
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: were in our rap phase where like everyone loved rap
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: music and biggie like that was our era. But in
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: a locker room, like it didn't matter who was in
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: the locker room. Like there was something about rock music
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: in pregame. You wouldn't listen to that song in a
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: million years. But if you're if you're spatting up? Did
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: you guys used to get to the games early because
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: you wanted to change your cleats, Like, did you guys
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: have screwing cleats? No, nope, I had.

• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: you could pull out the color put it.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: If you guys are so much younger than me, dude,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: the highlight of high school football was we were able
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: to finally use detachable cleats. Like you'd go so like
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: go before the game, meet all the other buddies in
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: the team. We were gonna get there early. I gotta
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: in new cleats. My dad would buy like boxes of
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: just detachable cleats, so like only the seniors could get
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: like fresh ones. And you made the freshmen. They they
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: were down to like their nubs. You can see the
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: men coming through. But man, you sit there with those
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: little keys. You change your spikes. The spikes were this
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: big and you'd walk around like the tile locker rooms
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: and school.

  Speaker 2: Your sie first one we had lost. He had lost
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: seven No way, finally won my seven state titles. My
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: older brother, Chris, who was one graade ahead of me freshman, sophomore, junior,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: senior year, he played in four state championships. They lost
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: all four of them.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: My dad had won state championships at his previous school,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: but that was his first state championship at our school.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: That was my younger brother. He played. He played quarterback
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: at Miami. He was nasty. Both my brothers were quarterbacks,
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: and uh I got the tight end.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 9: G Fuck, that is awesome.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: Your dad was your dad one of those guys where
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: you're always searching for the proud of you comment? Or
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: was he was? He pretty vocal emotionally with you.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: He he was pretty quick to tell us he knew
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: we were good. His balance was immediately after the game,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: We're gonna focus on all the things you didn't do well,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: and then like an hour or two later, it was
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: gonna be like, you guys are pretty good. Like you guy,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: you guys played your ass off like so he was
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: gonna coach first and fix all the mistakes. You want
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: to hear a great story about my dad. This sums
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: up my dad. So twenty sixteen, we have Monday night
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cam had gotten hurt
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: the previous week, so Derek Anderson's the quarterback. If Derek
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: Anderson played quarterback, he was gonna throw every single pass
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: of the game to me like that was just it
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: was just understood. It was the best I got him for, however,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: six quarters of my life, and he would throw every
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: ball to me. So we go to Monday Night Football.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: There's my dad right there. We go to Monday Night Football.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: I have one hundred and eighty five yards on Monday
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: night football. We lost, but I had one hundred and
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: eight eat something yards. We walk into like little family
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: section in the lobby outside inside the stadium, like, you know,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: I say to my wife and my kids and my
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: mom and dad and everybody. And in the late in
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: the in the mid of the fourth quarter, we ran
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: like a like a corner route to the boundary and
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: it was a good ball and it was one of
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: those like catch and the guy kind of rakes you
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: like I got turned inside. He was on my back
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: and I got turned inside, is which I made my
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: chest to the defender, caught it, and as I was
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: going to the ground, he kind of raked me, like
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: raked the ball down and I lost it. It was
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: incomplete on third down, so we punt. We end up losing.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: The game was a close one hundred and eighty one. Yeah,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: seventeen fourteen targets, thirteen targets. So I walk in, you know,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: that's the best game I've ever had in my life.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: Dad gives me a hug, say, hey, what happened on
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: that third down in the fourth quarter. I was like,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: I probably should have caught it.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know what I mean.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: Like, and he wasn't saying it. He was not the
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: guy that was like dogging, like he said it sincerely,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: but like that's just how we grew up. Like and
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, like I probably should have caught it,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: like that probably would have helped we would converted on
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: third down and who knows if we would have scored.
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: But like I get it, like, yeah, I should have
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: caught it. Like that was it? Like our the standards
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: were super high and that's all we knew.

  Speaker 2: Like that's the best part of all of it.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, those kids have no idea how good
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: they happened.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 9: Right so far, you guys went seven and one.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: Last we lost the first game of the season to
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: a good team. We lost the first game of the season,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: and then we rattled off and then you did look back.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 5: No, we we.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: We got better as the year went on. You only
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: had like thirty kids on the team last year. We
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: got like fifty something this year. All right, the energy
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: is building. But we had a really good group of
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: eighth graders. They just hadn't played a lot of football before,
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 2: like a lot of first time kids. We're teaching kids
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: how to put helmets on, how to buckle chin straps,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 2: how to put you know, how do you do the
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: clip on your shoulder pad? Like we part of our
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: practice was like that. Like we we had a lot
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: of kids, they just they didn't know what they didn't know.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, understanding how to get dressed is something that nobody
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: ever talks to you about. I played one year. I
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: played Papa when I was a corner third grade nice
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: and I didn't play again until my freshman year. But
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: I remember going to my freshman locker room. All the
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: kids are like getting dressed, and I'm watching them. Okay,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: I guess that's a hip pad. I'll put that on
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: my Oh yeah, and I had like I was like
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: watching the kids on.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 2: The last It used to be to put the pads
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: in your pants.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: And if you get to college and you find the
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: shorts that have that are built in and you might
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: be a little too old for that, you might have
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: been playing in college with them.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: Things were girdles with our hip in our butt pad
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: and then our pants. We would put the thigh pads
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: in our pants. Yes, that's what we used to do.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: Now all of the pads are all built into the girdle,
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: so they put on it, they pull up a girdle
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: thigh hip but all that and then they just put
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: knee pads in their pants and that's what the kids
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: wear now. So it's actually pretty easy.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: Isn't it wild? That like when you're in high school,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: it's how big can I look like, how like the
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: biggest thigh pad, the biggest deeps. But the older you get,
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: it's like, how tiny can I make these pads just
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: because so I can be bigger. It's it's crazy how
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: much changes.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: It's it's so true. It's the best. Though there's nothing
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 9: Tell me there are any moments you still get a
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 9: little bull in the ring in we don't Oklahoma drills.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you. It's a good question. Though we
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: don't do bowl in the ring. We can't. We don't
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: do Oklahoma eye opener. You remember eye opener. We're like
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: one guy would go sideways and you would shuffle and
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: there was cones and I'd pick a lane and we'd
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: go yeah, and like you're standing in the I never
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: did that, but like the ball carrier would run sideways.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: You would shuffle, pick the hole, and then once I
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: picked a hole, you're going, I would go through. So
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: we did that growing up. And you'd be in the
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: line and you're like two three four, and you're like
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: letting the kid go in front of you. He's like
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: the badass kid on your team is the fourth and
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: you're like two three ship, I'm four I'm not going
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: with Taylor all right, Will's you know what I mean.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: But you're doing the math in your head like there
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: was a like you learned a lot of ship at
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: football practice when we were growing up, Like that was
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: your mom and dads were and that coach he didn't
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: give two ships. He could have run you until you died.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: Like no one cared. Y.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: We we can't.
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: We can't do that anymore.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: Parents are there.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not worried about the parents.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 9: Pursuit drill where you know we do. You got a
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 9: runner going, you got low pursuit, you got high pursuit.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 9: It's like two on one.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: We do a lot of We do a ton of
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: pursuit drill. We had a kid actually break his nose
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: bumping in first practice last week in the summer. No pads,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: but we just tag off and we teach in and
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: out out set and edges. You know who are inside
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: hit man, who are our forced perimeter players, Like get
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: them run into the ball. We do d line. They
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: go through their little station and then run to the ball.
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: Second level secondary backside guy run corner. Like that's our
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: first drill we do on defensive day. But we just
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: tag off we we do a lot of teaching progressions
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: of tackling striking. We always talk like we're gonna hit
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: guys with the screws of our helmet, like the helmets
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: don't have screws anymore, but like that's how we learned it.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 2: Like you hit the guy with the screws of your
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: face mask, face up. So like we do a lot
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: of that all summer. We do controlled contact in practice,
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: like we do a ton of like two on one
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: combo blocks. We call them bazukas, like a ton of
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: hip to hip bazuka like combo taking on strikes, we
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: don't go to the ground. We don't just keep it thud.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 9: We keep it thudball.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: We keep it thud.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: And then in the game, obviously we our goal with
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: the kids, and we don't shy away from this. Like
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: our we tell the kids all the time, we're gonna
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: fix You're gonna take the wrong foot, you're gonna have
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: a backside cutoff, and you're gonna cross over, and your stance.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to fix your all that will coach
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: when you come play our team. Our goal is when
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: you're sitting in the stands on the other team, It's like,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I want my kid out there.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: This is fast, it's violent. They're playing to the ball
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: like and I'm talking within the confines. We don't like
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: no dirty stuff, Like we don't tea. We have no
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: patience in tolerance for any of the extra stuff.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: We finished though, but we are playing.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: We always say to the kid, we're playing real football.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 9: We're here to take the mother.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: We're to do dirty, but we're taking that light.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: No, we never we're not hitting people low. We're not
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: teaching people to hit them in the legs. Like we
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: have the high school rules. You're not allowed. Like there's
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: no chop blocking, there's no cut blocking, like everything's above
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: the ways. So kids are protecting in that regard. But
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: like we don't strike with our helmets, we don't strike
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: with the top, but we do strike with our face masks,
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: and we do block with our face. Our hands are
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: behind my hands, My face is behind my hands, and
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: I'm striking coming off the ball. I mean, we're we're
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: playing real football like our job. And a year orwo
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: the kids are gona be playing high school ball and
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: we playing a very competitive league. We got real dudes,
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 2: O our running back just committed to Nebraska. Charlotte Christian
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 2: High School came through twelve school so our high school,
• 1:48:56

• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: You're the school you're coaching at is K through twelve.
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: So there's a high school coaching staff. Yeah, that is
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 1: watching Greg Olsen and Louke Keighley coaching middle schoolers.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: We're on that. We share the field.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know the high school kids are like, well,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: why the fuck aren't they coaching us?
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: We haven't And I'm not just saying that high schools
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: are running practice.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, hey, do you mind if we go over there?
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: Said no, bowl in the ring, that's what the fuck
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: we're doing.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 2: No that he does a really good job, Chris James.
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: Charlotte Christian is a school. He does a really good job.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: We have a We're not a big school. We got
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty boys in a grade, one hundred
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 2: total kids, so we're not going to roll out there
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 2: with seventy five kids on a Friday night in uniform,
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 2: so it's a smaller group. But we got college bound kids.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: We sent two kids in Notre Dame last year. Bryant
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: Young's kid Bryce defensive end at Notre Dame six eight
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: monster wide receiver at Notre Dame. Both in the same
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 2: class Micah. They played in the National Championship last year
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: as freshman. I mean we got we we put some
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: real dudes into the league, into the into the college.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: We just don't have a million of them because it's
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 2: just a small school.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, when you're talking about doing thud, not taking
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: guys to the ground, what's the anxiety level for you
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: on tacking quality? Tackling quality the first game of the year.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 2: I want to see us play violent, like we are
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 2: gonna teach. We are gonna run you might with We
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 2: might got to teach keeping our head up and striking backside.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: And we're big on like we set firm edges like
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: every one of our practices. We are setting hard edges
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: our inside, our inside backers, like our run and chase
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: guys like some of our better players, Like we're all
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 2: inside out hit men. We don't overrun the ball if
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: the ball gets outside the numbers on a high school field,
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: like somebody really screwed up. Everything we do is perimeter edges.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: Squeeze this field, and we go to make them play
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: as tight as they can, and when that ball hits vertical,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 2: we are we are coming in hot like we are
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: coming in striking inside hips and running through so we'll overrun.
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: We'll have bad pre snap technique, We'll have false steps.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: Our lineman won't get off on the ball, will jump
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: off sides like that normal. They're thirteen, they're young. That
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: stuff will happen all season long. We don't teach running
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: full speed to the ball. We are not coaching that.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 2: Like if you do not run full speed to the
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: ball and you do not chase, and you're not gonna
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: play like, that's it. And we always tell the kids
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: this is not a big versus little. We have little
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: kids who play. We have big kids who don't play.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: We have fast kids, slow kids. We got kids of
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: all shapes and sizes. We don't care how good you
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: are or whether you've ever put a helmet on before.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 2: That is not a requirement. We don't cut. We had
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: zero kids quit last year. The roster we started with
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: in summer was the roster we ended with. If you
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: show up every day willing to be coached and willing
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: to learn and do things to the best of your ability,
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 2: we will find something for you to do. You might
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 2: not be the running back, but you might not be
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: the running back rut team. We'd take it. You'd play,
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: you think, so I can find a job for you
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: right now. But yeah, like and when we you know,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: we do we demo drills. It's like, all right, Stu, Stu,
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: you're the back. Show these guys the path of how
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 2: we want to get to the edge. All right, Luke,
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 2: he's going through the bag. He's teaching inside out, downhill,
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 2: never overrun inside hip trail. I mean, like Luke is
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 2: demonstrating and Stu's running with the ball, and I just
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 2: get to stand there and orchestrate like it's that's pretty cool.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 9: So that's your that's clearly your day one. Opening speech
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 9: is the full squad? You keep the full squad intact?
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 9: What is the griggles? And halftime speech.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: Depends what the score of the game is. Say you're down,
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 2: say you're down seven. You shouldn't be down seven. We
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be down. So so so halftime, he's not finished
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 2: into the football. We have no patience for that ship.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: So so I'll tell you, I'll tell you what halftime
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 2: looks like for us. There's no locker rooms, right, it's
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 2: it's grab the water, you know, one of the young
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 2: seventh graders, grab the water. Little carrier thing you know,
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 2: has like the six sections of the water. Bring it
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 2: over to the bench, Take your helmets off, sit down,
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: catch your breath. We'll get them together. I coach the
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 2: O line and D line like that's my jam. I
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 2: spend every day, every minute with the O line D line.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 2: We alternate offense defense days back and forth. Most of
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 2: our good kids played both ways, just because we don't
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 2: have enough kids. But yeah, it's offensive line. Where our corrections.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: Is it the front we practiced all week? Is the
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 2: front different? Are we coming off the ball? Are we finishing?
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 2: And we get you know, all just offensive line driven stuff.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 2: But then we take like a four and a half
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 2: minute break because my daughters on the cheerleading team, so
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: we make all the boys stop and they got to
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: watch the girls dance. So they come out and they
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 2: do like their halftime routine. So like I'm on all
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 2: over these middle school kids and we're coaching our ass
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: off and then it's like stop, and then I'm like
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: dance mom, you know, I'm like dance mom watching talbot,
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 2: Good job, buddy, Why are the why we gotta get
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 2: burmer in our double teams? And who's the left? Hey,
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 2: we gotta set this edge that ball, you know, And
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: then you go back to like wearing and the girls
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 2: are like running off with their pomp poms and I'm like,
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: good job, honey, you did so good. And then you're
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 2: just like back wearing the kids out. So it's it's
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 2: a it's a mix of both. Like we tell the
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: kids all the time, and we tell the parents, we
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: no one is gonna love your kids more than us.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 2: No one wants to see your kids have more success
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 2: than us. But we are gonna coach the shit out
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: of your kid, but we are gonna get to the
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: point where they trust us and they know we love them,
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 2: and they know we want to pour into them with
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: everything we have. Before you coach the shit out of them,
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 2: you gotta get to that level first, because if not,
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: it just feels like you're attacking them. And for these
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: middle school kids, it's a different day and age now,
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 2: Like they're not used to being yelled at, they're not
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 2: used to being coached, So like we got to make
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 2: sure like we're not yelling at you because we don't
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: like you. We're talking loud. It's football, it's intense. You're
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 2: across the field, like we're not gonna stand here and
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna signal into you, like we're not playing baseball, right, Like,
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 2: if I need to get a hold of the corner
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: on the far side of the field, like I'm gonna
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 2: scream across the stadium and everyone in the stadium is
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: gonna hear me. But if he needs to be inside
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 2: leverage because he on the backside one receiver, Like, move
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 2: your ass inside and you give up a slant, we're
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 2: gonna be pissed.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like we're gonna be praying for that cheerleading break
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: at halftime because yea, hey, coach, I think they're coming
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: out early. That's great. We'll work on the slant. We'll
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: work on the slant a little bit.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: And he gives up a touchdown. He's like cheerleading coaches, like,
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: I will give you anything for this dance to go
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 2: the entire Yeah.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: He's bribing that. He's bribing the coach in the corner.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 9: Crazy. How different it just was like us growing up
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 9: in the drills we would be doing compared to everything
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 9: that you seem to be teaching with the squad. Now,
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 9: like bull in the ring we played Duk Dug Goose,
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 9: you'd beholding the ball. You be holding the ball, and
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 9: you'd be going around the squad. This is one we're
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 9: like like you and then you take off sprint. Old
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 9: buddy gets up, sprints the other way and you just
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 9: collide me, You just collide.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: I feel that circle because you know he's getting picked
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: like seven times.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 2: That kid's going home that night. He's tired, he's quitting,
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: he's done.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: That's how you do with the same roster at the end.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 6: Of the year.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of basketball players made a football.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: Practice, no doubt about it. You know what.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 2: The gym's air conditioned. Could I didn't play much, but
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: like no one ran through my skull?
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, good, I get it. You talked about the parents,
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: are you like they know one's gonna love your kids
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: more than we love your kids. They're gonna trust us.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: You've had to have run across the carin or two. Yeah,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: and your time. How are we handling that?
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 2: Our approaches? I over communicate and maybe to a fault.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I don't do the whole regardless of the sport, right,
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 2: So you think growing up in baseball, after the game,
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: the coach takes the team out in deep left field
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 2: and it's just the coach and the kids. And then
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 2: you get in the car with your kid and you're like, hey,
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: what coach say. It's like, uh, they're twelve, they don't
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 2: know what just happened five seconds ago. Let alone relay
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 2: an adults message good or bad, and relay it so like,
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 2: I never want the parents to be dependent on the
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: kids to know what I'm saying to their kids. So
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 2: we do our post game stuff right there behind the dugout.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: I want everyone to come. I want people to come
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: to our practice. I want parents to sit in the stands.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 2: I want people to know what we're saying to your kid.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: We would say in front of you, like there's no
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 2: secrets here. There's no I'm going to tell your kid
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 2: one thing, but then I'm going to say something else
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 2: to the parent. Like we are very transparent in what
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 2: we do, how we coach. We don't apologize for it,
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: Like we are going to pour in so much of
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: our time and energy into your kids because we love it.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 2: If you have a problem, not everyone's gonna like what
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 2: we do. You might not like the position your kid plays,
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 2: or how much he plays, or as they get older,
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 2: obviously playing time is a little bit different. At the
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: young age. Everybody plays like we don't like we were
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 2: not in the business to play eight kids and five
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 2: of them stand on the sideline, you know, sit in
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: the dugout. So we get everyone involved to the best
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: of our ability and give everybody a role. I'm very
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 2: clear that if a parent wants to call me and
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 2: he wants to talk through like, I have no problem
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 2: with that. You're the parent. They're too young to remove
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 2: the parent from the process. Now, if I was their
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 2: high school coach college, I'm not going to answer to
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: your mom about what we're doing. Like, that's just not
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 2: the business. But at the young age, you have to
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: engage the families. I want my kids coaches to communicate
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: with me. Where does my kid need to get better,
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: where's he falling short, where's he doing well? What's his role?
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 2: Like I would love to know that because when I
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 2: asked my kid, they don't know, so like there's a
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 2: miscommunicat there's a communication barrier there. So I have no
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 2: problems with our families being super engaged be around our practices,
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 2: ask questions, see how we coach, see what we do.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: I encourage it, I like it. I don't want any secrets.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: But if you ask me a question, just be prepared
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: for the answer. That's it, and that's that's the simplest
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: way to do it. And we've been very, very fortunate
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: that for the years we've been doing this in all
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: different sports and different girls boys ages, we've had really
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 2: good families, like people that I think in the beginning
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: are kind of this is a lot like this, and
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: then after it clicks and they see the sparkle off
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: in their kids eye and all of a sudden, the
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 2: kids doing things they didn't think were possible, It's like, okay,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 2: just go keep going. Because the kids that's coming home
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: to me after each day is a better version of
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 2: my kid than I had when we started. That's our goal. Yeah,
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 2: and whether they're a better football player or not, that'd
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: be great, But like confidence, character, how they carry themselves,
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 2: like our families will tell us. Like for these summer workouts,
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 2: we start at eight am Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdays all summer long,
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 2: eight am at the field. These kids are up seven
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 2: o'clock in the summer up downstairs, breakfast made cleats on.
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 2: Come on, mom, we got to go. I can't be
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 2: late to practice. If we only accomplish that, we're doing
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 2: a great job in middle school football.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 9: Amen, dude, that's all with that. We looking at eight
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 9: no this year.
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going on the record, Joe Namath, Okay, breaking
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 2: with the boys. Where our goals to win every game
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 2: we play.
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 9: You're not worried at all about the other eight teams
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 9: that might just go.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 2: We have good teams. There's good teams in our league.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 9: You want to know you're coming.
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 2: We'll be ready.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: You ever watch across the field you see one of
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: those boys that are maybe a little more developed on
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: the other team, and you you wannare you play linebacker?
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 2: You know who?
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 6: That is?
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: What was the recruiting process like getting Luke on your
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: team to coach easy?
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 2: Free, I give free pizzasts, We go free pizza. You
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 2: the amount of days Luke and I sit at like
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 2: we we have like our Monday routine. We go to
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 2: lunch every Monday and we sit there and it's like
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 2: salt and pepper shakers. All right, they come out in
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 2: two by two spread. How are we gonna how are
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 2: we gonna get the nickel and know which way he's
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 2: gonna go because there's no tight end?
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 9: All right?
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, how are we gonna make the big call? How
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: are we gonna set the front? The kids only notice
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 2: set the front to the tight end side. They're not
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 2: going to have a tight end this week? Do we
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 2: want to back? Like we're sitting there? The amount of
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 2: time and energy we are spending on third and hour
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 2: thirteen and fourteen year old football. I don't know if
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of it or embarrassed by it.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: We gotta go out for a game this year. We
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: need to go out for a game this year and
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 1: blog it.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah, could we mike you up?
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be say it's a Christian school.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we we of flips the flip? Are we
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: doing out there? Gosh? Dang yeah? Like Jesu and Rice?
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 2: Guys, come on, we have to be careful. I remind
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 2: my dad a lot. I'm my dad. This is not
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety public school in New Jersey, where no one
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: even right, no one even, no one even hurt. You
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: said it, and it never even dawned on anyone that
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: you dropped an F bomb.
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 9: We we got it understood.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: The demonstrative things that coaches would say to your face.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: What do you think is the worst thing a coach
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: ever said to you growing up?
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was my dad one time,
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 2: remember rock them socking robots where you could punch each
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 2: other and then someone's head would pop up, and that's
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 2: how you'd win. My dad one time, he thought i'd
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: it was a pregame walk through walk through high school.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 2: I was probably a sophomore junior. We're just in pants, cleats, helmets,
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 2: no shoulder pads. So you're out there. You got your
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 2: skin tight cut off on. It's cut. Remember we'd all
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 2: like cut our shirts and like your mount sir, we
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 2: did you you'd have like a drive.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 9: But even if you didn't have a draft, and you'd
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 9: have like an old school cott.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: And raggedy cut off. So we'd only have that on.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 2: You thought you were jacked? You want you saw my
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 2: pictures speakers, Yeah, some of us were. We weren't juicing yet.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 2: So I get back to the huddle on he thought
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 2: I jogged, hence it was a walk through practice. So
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 2: my brother overthrows me ball lands I come back. We
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 2: we huddled with the lineman's back to the line of scrimmage,
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: and then the skill players would stand in the front
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 2: with their hands on their knees. Quarterback would call to play,
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 2: facing the line of scrimmage, so lineman would call and go.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 2: So he's standing next to the quarterback facing me, and
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: I'm facing out with my back to the line. And
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 2: I guess I didn't answer him. I guess he didn't
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 2: like my answer. I might have given like a smart
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 2: ass answer about something or and he uppercuted my face mask,
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 2: a buckled face mask, a buckle chin, buckled helmet. He
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 2: punches my face mask and knocks my whole helmet, chin
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 2: strap and all completely rock him, sock him, robot in
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 2: me right off the top of my helmet. So I
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: put my helmet back on and I ran the route
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 2: next time, full speed, dad. So he was allowed to
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 2: do that in a jog through in pregame. We won
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 9: Conversation didn't pop up after the game or anything.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, good game, we're good. We just have to set
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 2: the tone. He hit my face mask, so he didn't.
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 9: Hit whatever.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 1: Your dad, and we're gonna got your bag, man. He
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: didn't skinned the skin, did not happen. You get it.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, But he would always tell us, He's like, hey,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 2: sometimes I gotta use your boys to set the tone
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 2: here because your mind and I don't have to answer
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 2: to the mother. I don't have to answer to the
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 2: other kids mother. He's I gotta go home and I'll answer.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: But that's in my own house. Yeah, we were, it was, thankfully,
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 2: he's he's mellowed. He has not ever punched any of
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 2: the kids, including my own helmets off. So that's a polive.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be a tough conversation to happen.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah, a lot of flips.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 2: We've been good, thankfully, we've been good.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: All right, we don't up this episode to bring you

• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: Back to this episode, Let's play a crystal ball game.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 1: Love that your kids develop into stars. They're a four star,
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 1: five star recruit. How heavy are you pressing on them
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: to go to the you not?
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not?
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: Are there you fans though?
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we love. I mean I would love them
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 2: to go there, and if they asked me, I would
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 2: tell them about my experiences there. But Miami's not for everyone.
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 2: Ohio State's not for everyone, right, like I think, especially whoever, Michigan, Nebraska, whoever.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 2: My point was big school, small schools, private public. Miami
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 2: is a small, little private school in Coral Game. If
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 2: you drove by it, you woudn't even know it was there.
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 2: It was great for me. It was great for my
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 2: competitive spirit, it was great for my development. It was
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 2: great for getting me outside my comfort zone and getting
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 2: me outside in my box I grew up in. But
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 2: it's not for everybody, Like maybe I went to Ohio
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 2: State or Michigan or Nebraska, and that might not have
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 2: been for me. So I'm a big believer. If they
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 2: asked me, I'd tell them all the positives that I had.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 2: But like, they've got to find a path that suits
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 2: their needs and they've got to find a school. So
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 2: if they were ever in that position, and who knows
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: if they will or not, Like they've got to go
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 2: where they can make their own path there. And if
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 2: it's Miami, great, but if it's somewhere else, awesome. Like
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell my kids where to go
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 2: to school by that point, Like they've got to start
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 2: learning making decisions. I went to Notre Dame. I signed
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 2: a Notre Dame out of high school. It lasted three months,
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 2: my first ever adult decision. I got there and I
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 2: was like, ooh, that not for me, and transferred to
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 2: Miami before the season even started. So like, you've got
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 2: to go through some of those bat you got to
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 2: go through some of those moments. You can't just tell
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 2: your kid go here to here to here, to hear
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 2: to here, because they're going to grow up and they're
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 2: not gonna have any ability to make decisions. And if
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 2: they make bad decisions. How do you get out of
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 2: it and get to a better one? So I would
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: I love them to go there, of course, my wife
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 2: and I both went there, but I don't need them
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 2: to go there.
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I I feel the same. But you
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 9: ain't going anywhere in the Big Ten.
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 2: My dad went to went to college, actually went to
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 2: college in Nebraska, Midland, Midland Lutheran College, and oh yeah, yeah, Nebrasca.
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 2: So he's got a lot of Nebraska tize. But uh, yeah,
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know.
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 9: You let your kids go in towhere the I'm saying
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 9: that you don't have to go to Nebraska. You're gonna
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 9: know that. I want you to go there, but you
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 9: can go somewhere else. But it's going to be outside
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 9: of the Big Ten.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 2: They're not going to Purdue. Yeah, what about Michigan about.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 12: You?
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 2: They're not gonna be Michigan men.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: No, No, first off, let's talk about what about education,
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 1: Like Michigan's a top top fifteen public school in the world.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 9: Well, I think we have the most academic all Americans
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 9: in college football.
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: The bars pretty low. If the end stance for knowledge.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 9: Warren Buffett the Oracle right down the road.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: All right, So you guys have different parenting styles.
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 9: So you let you you let him go to uh
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 9: Florida State.
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Florida State.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 2: Here's my take on like team allegiances and stuff. Don't
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 2: get me wrong, I love Miami. I have great memories.
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 2: They were a big part of my journey. Met my
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 2: wife there, our family. Like love Miami everything about it.
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 2: If all three of my kids went there, great, Now
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 2: it's one hundred grand a year, so they better be
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 2: damn good at whatever they do. But we'll still pay
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 2: for it. But like I if they went to Florida, Like,
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not that guy that's like, you cannot say the
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 2: word Florida State in my house. I played for the Bears.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 2: The Packers are sacrilegious that you know in Carolina like Atlanta,
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, do we really give two shit? Like I
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 2: just I'm not a big like team rivalry guy.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 1: I like people, Now has that been a thing that
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 1: you are now? But what about when you were at
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 1: Miami was like Florida State, you still were a zoom.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Florida State game was huge, don't get
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 2: me wrong, But like when you're in that moment, that's
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 2: all you know it's you. You're drinking.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: You're fully invested in.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 2: On the team. But I'm just saying now like taking
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 2: a step back and removing myself. Like Mario Cristoball is
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 2: the head coach at Miami. He was my tight end coach.
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 2: He recruited me when he was at Rutgers with Greg Cianno.
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 2: When I was in high school, I met. I met
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 2: Mario when I was a sixteen year old kid in
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 2: high school. I went down to the Miami camp. He
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 2: then went to Rutgers with Greg, recruited me there, ended
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 2: up coming back to Miami and was my position coach.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 2: Now he's the head coach. When he was the head
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 2: coach at Oregon, I took my boys out to Oregon
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 2: and spent some time with him, and they all wore
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 2: Duck stuff. And now was I a diehard Oregon fan? No?
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 2: But when they were playing, would I hearing that Mario
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 2: had a lot of success? Yes, Like I cheer for
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 2: my people, I cheer for I've gotten to know Ryan Day.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 2: Am I a diehard Ohio State fan?
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 8: I'm not.
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: I've never cheered for Ohio State. Ohio step beat Miami
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 2: in that big national championship game and I was in
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 2: high school and I hated it and I wanted Miami
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 2: to win. But like I like Ryan Day. If Ryan
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: Day tomorrow is the coach at Michigan, or if if
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 2: Ryan Day went and became the coach at Oshkosh School,
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 2: I want him to do well. I'm just not like
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 2: so wrapped up blind into program and team and this
• 2:10:31
  Speaker 2: like school. Like my kids wanted to go to Florida State,
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: It'd be amazing. Let's just I don't know. I'm just.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: You can't judge other parents.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 9: I feel them on the relationships up. But when it
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 9: just comes with the kids.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 2: Going somewhere, So who like who's the like the no
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 2: brainer school? Your kids come home, daddy, Daddy, I'm so excited.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 2: I just got my acceptance letter to here and you're
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 2: going not happening like where Iowa Iowa be one. So
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 2: you're so your kid comes in?
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 9: My kids? My kid. If if Busting with the Boys
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 9: was still at any type of relevance, or if I
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 9: could still do any damage on the internet, if my
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 9: kid wanted to go there, they will publicly know where
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 9: I stand. Fair enough, and Husker Nations, would you still
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 9: with the battle for the borders happening, they won't see
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 9: me in black and yellow?
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 2: Would you would you pay? Would you pay? Would you
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 2: still pay?
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 1: The twist.
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 2: If they said, Daddy, I love you. Boys or girls?
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 9: Girls?
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 2: If you think you're telling me.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 9: They're young, right, yeah, they're young.
• 2:11:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, where's the fucking camera. Let me just I'm mark
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 2: mark this day right now. This guy is so full
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 2: of ship because he has you have two daughters. Yeah,
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 2: he's got two daughters. And if he thinks for one second,
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 2: the seventeen year old daughter who comes in and gives
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 2: daddy a hug, and her Iowa acceptance letter comes in
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 2: the mail, and it's her dream because her and her
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 2: best friend are going to go there and room together
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 2: and join a sorority, and they're so excited. If you
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 2: think for a million years, he's not writing that tuition
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 2: check and giving her a hug and saying, I'm so
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 2: proud of you, honey, you're my baby. Girl. You're so
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 2: full of shit because guess what they're going and you're
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 2: writing the bill and you're gonna fake a smile and
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be there.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: You're gonna be in Iowa City and be like, yeah,
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: you know what places in half that I'm happy for
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: your city.
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 12: Listen, if I'll go buy an Emmy Lives but I'm
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 12: wearing red, Listen, that's fine. Here's here's my friend. This
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 12: is my final take on this. This is my clearest
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 12: way I can put it. If my kid said, Dad,
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 12: tell us where to go, it's down to our final three.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 12: We love them all, and Miami's in the mix. Obviously,
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 12: I'm saying, let's go to Miami like it's amazing.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 2: It's like yes. But if they came to me and said, Dad,
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 2: Miami is just not for me, Like I didn't like
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 2: the campus. I want to go somewhere bigger. I want
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 2: to state school, I want whatever whatever that they And
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 2: if it was Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Alabama, or a
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 2: community whatever, it was great, go to college, go learn,
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 2: be live your life, get a degree, make mistakes, learn
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 2: how to take care of your freaking dorm room. Yeah,
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 2: just I don't know, Like I didn't. I'm paying the
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 2: bill wherever they go, as long as they're good kids.
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 9: And I think to like if if if I had
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 9: a son and he was good enough to go play
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 9: college or whatever, I think a lot of it. That
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 9: would I would think about too, is like who's coaching them?
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 9: When I said, it's like if they came back and
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 9: they're like, you know coach Laning Oregon offered, and you
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 9: knowing coach Lane and.
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: Say, hey, that's a guy, that's that's a guy you
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 1: want to be right.
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 9: Who else have we been around? I mean Moore, I
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 9: mean even Dillingham, Yeah, dude, Yeah, really, a lot of
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 9: the guys who've came across you kind of can tell
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 9: a little bit.
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 1: If my daughter wanted to go to Issue, i'd have
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: a hard time with that.
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I was.
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 1: I would tell him the same thing I would tell myself. Listen,
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 1: I ask you, you're already going here to see a
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 1: lot of beautiful girls. That's the reason why Daddy didn't
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: go to SU I'm from Arizona. I went down those streets.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: I've been down Mill Avenue and I've looked both ways
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: and I didn't know which way to look because there's
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 1: so many beautiful girls. That's why Daddy went to Michigan.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: That's why Daddy chose not because Daddy wanted to go
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 1: to the NFL. That's that's what I was. That's what
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: I'm telling my son my daughter. So we're having the conversation.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: I also have two girls, seven and four.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 2: Daughters are different.
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my daughter I I've told the story of multiple
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 1: times since this happened. But we're watching playoff hockey and
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 1: my daughter, my oldest daughter, she's not like she's she
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: could be athletic, she's just she's seven. I'm basically telling
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: her she's not very competitive, which is totally fine. But
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: We're sitting there watching playoff hockey together and I'm like, sweetheart,
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: you have the genetics. You have, like the ability, like
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: your mom's athletic, your dad. You know you've seen I
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: showed you the highlights. Yeah, right exactly. I was like,
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: if you wanted, you could play sports, and like you
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: could get your school paid for, you could do all
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 1: these things, like you could really make something if you
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: wanted to do this. And she sits back in this
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 1: chair and goes, you know them. I think I'm just
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 1: gonna be me. And that was the moment I was like,
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to press her at all anymore about
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 1: sports because she's always a daddy. You're always talking about sports.
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, because it's really all daddy knew growing up,
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: So like, obviously I'm gonna try to get you into
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 1: these things. But now that I know that, So if
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 1: we're having the conversation at seventeen years old and she
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 1: has an excevance letter from Ohio State and she's like,
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: I want to go to Ohio State, I'm thinking, why
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: would you want to go there? It's not like a
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 1: predominant like educational school. Like it's not anything like that
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 1: Michigan Top fifteen public school. You want to go to
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 1: someone like that. There's a lot of other places. But
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: if she wanted to go to House State, I'm betting
• 2:15:54
  Speaker 1: the knee. I'm bet in the knee.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 2: It's just the way it goes.
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 1: It is the way it goes.
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you one thing I will say though
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 2: about girls, I'm further down the latter year. Oldest is seven.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 2: My daughter is twelve. She'll be thirteen in the fall.
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 2: So I got twins, boy girl twins. They'll be thirteen,
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 2: they'll be seventh graders. And then my oldest son is
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 2: eighth grade. So boys and girls very different maturity wise whatnot.
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 2: She wanted nothing to do with sports until probably like
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 2: two years ago, played like little soccer with her friends,
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 2: but like there was no training, there was no practicing,
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 2: there was no going out in the driveway, like she
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 2: had no interest. So it was pretty much just the
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 2: boys that were our sports experiences. About two years ago,
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 2: she played for a little school basketball team, took a
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 2: liking to basketball, started going out and like venturing into
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 2: some more of like competitive basketball roles. So now she's
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 2: when the boys do basketball training with the guy. Like
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 2: she's out there with the boys doing basketball training. She's
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 2: in the gym. She practiced. She just went out for
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 2: the track team at her school. Me and her just
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 2: drove to Greensboro for the Adidas Outdoor Track and Field
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 2: meet last weekend. And she's competing against some of the
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 2: best girls in the country. Granted she's sixth grade. Like yeah,
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 2: not that she's winning, not that she's the best or anything,
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 2: but like all I would say is for the girls
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 2: sometimes is the competitive side doesn't At least in my family,
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 2: it came out a little bit later. When the boys
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 2: were little. It was run around with a football in
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 2: their hand and let's go play catch, and daddy, let's
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 2: go hit off the tee. It took her a little
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 2: bit longer fifth grade, give her take fourth fifth grade.
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 2: But now she's as competitive and as strong and as
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 2: driven and as much of a dog as anybody, Like
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 2: she is a horse. So don't give up on it.
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 2: Don't don't give up on it. He didn't press her
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 2: like we had. We never in a millionaire thought she
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 2: was gonna really get much into sports outside of just
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 2: like recreation, fun, soccer or whatever. But she's competitive, like
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 2: right now, like literally as we speak, my wife's taking
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 2: her in. The two boys all the kids took you
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 2: know Kola. You know Brian Cooler trained McCaffrey and he
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 2: works at Battleground Academy. You know that school here in Franklin.
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 2: Do you guys live in Nashville. Yeah, we live, Okay, Yeah,
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 2: I wasn't sure I'm naming all these come from anyway,
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 2: So like they came down here. He's like a great
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 2: track and field coach, like that's his specialty, trained Anah
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 2: Hall and McCaffrey and all these people from Colorado. He
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 2: moved to Nashville within the last couple of months, So
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 2: like they're there. She's there doing a hurdle workout with him,
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 2: learning how to run hurdles, and they're gonna do speed day,
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 2: so like she'll work now, Like ask a.
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 9: Lot of it too. With like young kids has got
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 9: to be just feeling confident, like maybe they're a little insecure.
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 9: They kind of shy away from maybe doing a sport
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 9: because they don't know if they're good at it yet.
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 9: I just like the idea too. It's like when you
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 9: get just getting kids obviously involved in sports, but you
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 9: have something that you were committed to doing, a place
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 9: that you have to be a place to show well
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 9: how you show up for the world, like how to
• 2:18:56
  Speaker 9: stay you know, started getting in those areas of like
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 9: discipline and everything else, and it's say, hey, if you
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 9: don't like doing it afterwards, we might find something else
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 9: to do for you during that season. It could be anything,
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 9: doesn't have to be sports, but something that you can
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 9: commit yourself to, because at some point you're gonna have
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 9: to start You're gonna have to start doing that. Like
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 9: when you go to school and you're committed to your grades,
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 9: you're committed to whatever whatever new things are going to be.
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 2: Totally agree and and again we all just know sports,
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 2: so that's like the only avenue I know to teach
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 2: those lessons now.
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 9: But we have the best lessons.
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 2: It's again we're we haven't been exposed to the arts,
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 2: to music, to like I wasn't exposed to it. I
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 2: think a lot of people have great experiences doing that,
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 2: and I think that's wonderful. I don't know that world.
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't grow up in that world. So obviously our
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 2: life experiences to our kids are gonna be things that
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 2: we're comfortable with and be recognized because we got the
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 2: values out of it. So like our model with that
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 2: is like, we're not trying to do all this to
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 2: become professional athletes. If we were all trying to have
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 2: our kids play sports to be professional athletes, we should
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 2: all just stop. If that's the goal, you're wasting your time.
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 2: You better spending your time and energy doing other things.
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 2: It's all the other shit, being accountable, being on time,
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 2: doing something for other people. Having an authority figure that
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 2: maybe you don't like or you don't think it's giving
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 2: you the fair end of the deal, and.
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 9: It's not your parents and they're trying to It's different
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 9: when you have a different authority figure. We're kind of
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 9: coaching you up and you're.
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 2: Totally you're not going to talk crazy in front of
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 2: where else are you getting that?
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't keep them well rounded. Like with my kids,
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 1: it's like, hey, you have to have an art, you
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 1: have to have a language, and you have to have
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 1: a sport. And right now their sport is like Brazilian
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 1: jiu jitsu jumping in that. My daughter wants to learn
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 1: Chinese because she saw how to train your dragon and
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 1: dragon the Chinese. It's all about it and they're taking
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 1: classes and stuff like that. So it's cool to see
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 1: these things that I know nothing about, but like they're
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 1: really enjoying it. They're about it. They have these like
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 1: canvases sitting outside, They're always painting and doing stuff. It's
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 1: just really it's cool because I'm like learning as I'm going.
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 2: To totally, I would love my kids to be like that.
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 2: Like we stress trying to be well rounded. And then
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 2: like I take it. I take a look at myself
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 2: and I'm.
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 9: Like, and you're there on a funday with salt and pepper.
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 2: What do you do other than sports? So like I
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 2: growing up, like we did sports right, Like we didn't
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 2: go camping, you never went hunting. I can't tie a
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 2: fishing line. I'm not the guy to call like I
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 2: always joke, like the kids we go fishing the lake.
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, let's call Luke. He lives around the
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 2: corner for me, Like, Luke's the guy that needs to
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 2: come put the lure on. Luke needs to come when
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 2: your school gets tied and nodded, Like you don't have
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 2: a dad that's good at that ship. But if you
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 2: need a dad to come coach your team and you
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 2: want to be good at that, like I can be
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 2: good at that.
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can do that.
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 2: I can help outside of that, Like I'm not the
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 2: guy to teach you how to pitch a tent.
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. We have like three minutes before,
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 1: so we have a couple questions. Let's go broadcasting. You've
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 1: obviously dude, you you crush it. You're very the way
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 1: you're able to express yourself to the viewer that's listening
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 1: that might not a whole lot about football. When you
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 1: have a wealth of knowledge, you do a great job
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 1: of letting the casual view or understand the game of
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 1: football in those three hours that you're seeing in the booth.
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady comes in. There's been a whole lot of
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 1: conversations about well, Tom Brady he gets thrust into this role.
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 1: Is there like a rivalry type of thing between you two.
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 1: I know you've commented a little bit about it, but
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 1: how do you feel when all this stuff is going on.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 1: You've kind of put a lot of work in and
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 1: Tom being Tom kind of gets thrust it up to
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 1: the top right away.
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 2: And again, it's not something that I've shied away from,
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 2: and I'm happy to talk about it and be honest
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 2: with it. That the simplest way to put it is
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 2: like anybody you guys in your world wanting to be
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 2: at the top of the charts, and you want to
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean these other people aren't your buddies. It
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you're not also pulling for them to
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 2: have success, like everyone who's motivated to be a high
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 2: achiever in any industry, whether it's in the podcast world
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 2: or whether it's in broadcasting, whether it's in coaching, athlete whatever.
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 2: Ever since I've been little, I've always wanted to be good.
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 2: Whatever I'm doing, i want to be good at it,
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna do everything in my power to be
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 2: as good I'm ever going to be the best. I
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 2: don't have to be the best at it, but I'm
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 2: gonna be whatever my best is. I don't I don't
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 2: really have I don't know how else to do it.
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 2: I don't like doing things that I'm not particularly good at,
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 2: Like I don't enjoy that I am going golfing. But
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 2: like so when it comes to the situation with Tom
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 2: and the games, like, I was very lucky that in
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 2: my second year the things went down the way they
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 2: did with Joe and Troy leaving that me and Kevin
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 2: got got promoted to being the top number one team
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 2: and we were happened to be a super Bowl year,
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 2: so we were going to call that super Bowl, we
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 2: called the Philly Kansas City Game. But we knew going
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 2: in that Tom Tom had signed a futures deal in
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 2: essence to be to be determined whenever he was done
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 2: playing when it's going to start. But he had a
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 2: deal on the table before I got elevated from the
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 2: two crew with Kevin to the one crew. So that
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 2: was the order of events of how all that went down.
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 2: So I knew going in I was going to call
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 2: the A crew for a year and past that was TBD.
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 2: It ended up being two years, so I got the
• 2:23:50
  Speaker 2: super Bowl year one additional year, and then Tom came.
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 2: I really enjoy broadcasting. I love football, I love talking ball,
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 2: I love talking to the guys. I love learning. I've
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 2: learned more as a broadcaster about other aspects of football
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 2: that maybe I didn't wasn't as privy to playing in
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 2: the last five years than maybe been fourteen years of playing.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 2: I enjoy the process of learning. I enjoy the process
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 2: of presenting the game to an audience in a fun way,
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 2: in a cool way, maybe ways they're not used to hearing.
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 2: Whatever that is. Tom and I's relationship, both professionally and
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 2: personally is really good. Like we've gone I've said this before,
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 2: like we've spent the day golf and together. He sent
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 2: a hype up video to my team before their pop
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 2: first middle school game last year, which was super cool,
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 2: and the kids we lost.
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: Jesus, Tom, you.
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 2: Need a better video. We're gonna redo it this year.
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 2: We're gonna resett. Yeah, yeah, we're.
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 1: Gonna a case for people saying you guys don't have
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 1: because you guys did lose that game.
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 2: So that's really where the animosity comes from. It's not
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 2: taking people that we lost the game.
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 9: And a couple of high videos out there if you
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 9: ever need some way to step in.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 2: No f bombs, just flips.
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 9: I got you.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 2: Christian school, Christian school friendly. But like you know, we've
• 2:24:59
  Speaker 2: spent a lot of time I'm on the phone, you know,
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 2: talking broadcasting, but also talking about raising teenage daughters. Like
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 2: we have a lot of other things in common that
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 2: we've formed a better personal relationship since he's joined Fox
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 2: then we had when we were both playing. We knew
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 2: each other, we'd see each other before and after games.
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 2: It was a very casual professional relationship me and him.
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 2: I have spent a lot of time together, a lot
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 2: of time talking professionally, a lot of time personally. I
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 2: have zero animosity for Tom. I don't sit there saying
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 2: I hope they're broadcast stinks. I hope at all. That
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 2: is independent from my personal aspirations of I want to
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 2: take this to the highest level I can. I want
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 2: to call Super Bowls. I want to get to a
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 2: top crew. I want to continue to elevate and see
• 2:25:41
  Speaker 2: how high in the industry that I can get. Those
• 2:25:44
  Speaker 2: things can both simultaneously exist. My ascension individually does not
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 2: have to come at the expense of him. It does
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 2: not have to come in animosity towards him. If he
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 2: has a long career in this industry, so can I.
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 2: Those two things are not so that's the way I
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 2: look at it. I'm going to go in this year
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 2: to hopefully have a great year and continue to present
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 2: the game in a fun way. I have a great
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 2: crew with Joe and Pam and my crew at Fox
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 2: is awesome, and I hope to do this for the
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 2: next twenty years.
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 5: And what that looks like.
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think you know what What does this look
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 2: like for twenty years? No one knows. But that's my
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 2: that's my approach to towards all of it.
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 9: Love it, dude, are very very last question. You know
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 9: people would do anything for a bud light? What would
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 9: you do anything for?
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 1: You can't say family.
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 9: I feel like he if he did say family, he'd
• 2:26:32
  Speaker 9: have a very good answer if he wanted to go
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 9: that route. Doesn't have to.
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean family, I think is probably at the
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 2: top of everybody's list, right like you, you would, you
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 2: would go to the end of the earth for your kids.
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 2: And you know, for as much as sometimes they aggravate
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 2: you and they frustrate you, and you know they don't
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 2: want to listen at the end of the day, when
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 2: you take a step back, man, that's what all of
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 2: it's about, right, It's about your your family and your
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 2: wife and your kids and giving them a better giving
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 2: them a better opportunity than maybe you had, and paying
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 2: it forward, and you know, hopefully they go on to
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 2: make great impactful lives. Like I think that'd be everyone's
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 2: cliche answer, even though it's the truth. I mean, I professionally,
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 2: I would probably give anything to go back and be
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 2: able to replay our Super Bowl. So twenty fifteen, we
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 2: were seventeen and one. We won fifteen regular season games,
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 2: were we ran, we had. We had a tight game
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 2: in the divisional round against Seattle. We were up thirty
• 2:27:21
  Speaker 2: to nothing at halftime, ended up having to recover an
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 2: on sitees kick. We didn't score in the second half.
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson almost brought them back and beat us. We won.
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 2: We blew the doors off Arizona. We scored forty five
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 2: points in the NFC Championship game. So I mean we
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 2: had scored almost ninety points collectively between the divisional and
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 2: it's a great picture. I looked thrilled in the back,
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 2: you know, So I look back on that season and
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 2: there's a little like wait, that was a wasted moment, right,
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 2: like we we were on the cusp of a history
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 2: of the most wins ever for a Super Bowl team
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 2: in NFL history. We would have been eighteen. We would
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 2: have been eighteen and one super Bowl champs. No team
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 2: at every won eighteen game won the Super Bowl. And
• 2:28:02
  Speaker 2: we were the best offense in football. And we shipped
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 2: down our leg We were terrible. We turned them all
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 2: over a bunch. We didn't score. Think we scored ten points.
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 2: We were averaging thirty to a game, scored forty seven
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 2: against who was the next best team record wise was
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 2: Arizona that year. I think they won thirteen games. We
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 2: beat him forty five to seventeen. I mean, it was
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 2: a bloodbath in the NFC Championship. But as you guys know,
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 2: you get one shot. It's not best to five, it's
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 2: not best to seven. I would give anything not to
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl, like go back and just play
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 2: it one more time, and maybe we would have lost again.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 2: They were damn good. Denver was good.
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 1: Knowing your mind frame about like effort, finishing like we like,
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 1: if you're not gonna do that, You're not gonna play
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 1: for my Papa warrant team. Yeah, we'll go through your mind.
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 1: When you see Cam Newton double clutch on that fumble.
• 2:28:49
  Speaker 2: You know, I think to the outside world and I
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 2: mean this sincerely. This is not me covering for Cam.
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 2: Of every guy I've ever played with, if there was
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 2: ever a guy that you did not have to question
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 2: his physicality, his toughness, his competitiveness, it was Cam. And
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 2: that is not a cliche cover for him. Like if
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 2: he if he pulled up in the moment for that ball,
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 2: and he's talked about it, he's like, man, if I
• 2:29:14
  Speaker 2: could go back, that's probably I've heard him talk about
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 2: on his podcast, Like in the moment, that was not
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 2: I'm scared to go get hit, I'm scared to go
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 2: dive down on the ball. There was, as we all
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 2: have been there in time, your reaction to what you
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 2: see in the moment and feel, and you're it's hard
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 2: to really even quantify what you do. You react. For
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 2: ten years, I watched that guy put his life on
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 2: his body, his life, his career on the line in
• 2:29:41
  Speaker 2: big moments, in meaningful games, in Wednesday practice, in training camp,
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 2: all between. If there's one people want to knock Cam
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 2: for a lot of things, find you cannot knock him
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 2: for not being competitive, for not being tough, and when
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 2: it came time to going out there to play that
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 2: dude played his ass off every day. He was unbelievable
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 9: You wish he would have said he would have traded
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 9: in his MVP for a Super Bowl.
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 2: That's a longer conversation but short answers, Yeah, I would
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 2: rather he traded his no. I Again, there's always context
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 2: with Cam and those of us that have spent a
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 2: lot of time with him always can view the things
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 2: that he says that maybe to the outside scene, but
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 2: we're viewing it through a lens of ten years now
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 2: fifteen years of being around him and really knowing him intimately,
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 2: how he how he thinks, how he responds, how he
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 2: body language, all of it. Like we have a very
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 2: keen idea of his good days, is not like we
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 2: really understood what made him tick and and he was
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 2: the pulse of the team. He was that, he was
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 2: the center of the locker room. He was everything everyone
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 2: saw from the outside that was genuine like he was
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 2: like that he would run for a touchdown on the
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 2: last play of inside run period on a Wednesday and
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 2: Week sixteen, we would have to make any quarterback pole
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 2: play the last play of the period because if we
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 2: were running it from the say the minus thirty and
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 2: that was just where the ball was marked, he would
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 2: run seventy yards to the goal line and he would
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 2: put the ball on top of the fence like he scored,
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 2: and it was like him handing the ball to the
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 2: stands like he was his touchdown thing. He did that
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 2: in practice one hundred percent of the time for ten years.
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 2: We would have to change the script and make sure
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 2: that any play he would have the ball was the
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 2: last play because if it was play three, we'd have
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 2: to wait for him to run seventy yards back and
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 2: call the next play in the huddle. So when he
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 2: was running back, the defense would go and we were
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 2: off the field and the defense would do their period,
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 2: and by the time he came back, it was time
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 2: for seven on seven or whatever the period was like.
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 2: That was every single day. So when he talks about
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 2: MVP Versus winning the Super Bowl, I think the point
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 2: he's trying to lay out was he took such great
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 2: pride in the season he had that year winning m
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 2: VP on clearly the best team up into the Super Bowl.
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 2: The versus there's a lot of guys that have won
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 2: super Bowls but didn't have nearly the level of impact
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 2: that he had as the reason you want. There's a
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 2: lot of guys who have super Bowl rings and were
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 2: on super Bowl winning teams, but that in his again,
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 2: his message was, that's a big difference between I won
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 2: our team a super Bowl. I was one of the
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 2: big factors of winning our team a super Bowl, right,
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 2: wrong or indifferent? I think that's the lens that he
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 2: was trying to present that by. But like I think
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 2: we all would be like, hey, can we love you
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 2: to the end of the earth, but if we could
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 2: have won a super Bowl, Like you're gonna have to
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 2: take that one for the team. I love you and
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 2: you're my guy forever, but like you're like, super Bowl,
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 2: let's take that. We're going to have that and you're
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 2: still great. Yeah, you're still great. But uh yeah man,
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 2: it's uh so yeah, that would probably be that was tough,
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 2: like we and we never could find it again. You know,
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 2: we had almost the same exact team in twenty sixteen,
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 2: and I think we won six games Yeah.
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 1: You hear about a year about guys that are young
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 1: that make the playoffs early and they kind of like
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 1: lose the division round or losing the championship round, and
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 1: older guys are like, just so you know, it doesn't
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 1: always go like us, and you never know until you know.
• 2:33:15
  Speaker 1: Because we were in nineteen, we went to the AFC Championship.
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 1: We had essentially the same guys here. I do love it.
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 1: You're run a pause.
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 2: I sit here all there with you guys, Taylor.
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 9: It feels like on maybe seventy percent of pods, like
• 2:33:32
  Speaker 9: at twenty nineteen, that was.
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 2: That was our twenty fifteen.
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 1: You got to bring it up as much as you
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 1: can the chiefs eighty percent of the time. Will just
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 1: wants to bring up his pick six in the Capitol
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 1: One game against Georgia, but he his team up thirteen
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 1: to seven.
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 2: You know what, my favorite? Are we still rolling? Yep?
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 2: Can we just address the elephant in the room. Me
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 2: and you have talked about this, but I don't know
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 2: if we've talked about this on the open forum. You
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 2: don't like when you hear a story about your former
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 2: self and you look back and you're like, don't love it,
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 2: Like not proud of it, brought me in the moment,
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 2: didn't react when I when is this.
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 8: This must be.
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 2: Oh tackle eligible score? I got tackled on the one
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 2: in that stadium one year. He came to tell you, guys,
• 2:34:19
  Speaker 2: you've told this story. We're playing each other, You're with Washington,
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 2: and you knock.
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 9: The ball away from me. You just had like a
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 9: little like a.
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 2: Or whatever and broke and you gave like the typical
• 2:34:33
  Speaker 2: like it was a four yard knockdowns like Spider Man.
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 2: He gave me webs. He gave me like full on.
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: He was cut throat.
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was like every celebration that Defender's ever done.
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 2: So I just remember and it was like the first quarter.
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 2: It was not like third down game on the line.
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 2: It was like the game started at the game started
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 2: at one. I think this completion was like at one
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 2: o seven. Nobody was even in the stands yet, and
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 2: he's webbing me, Spider manning me. He's got all sorts
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 2: of wristbands on. I mean, he's got a lot going on.
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 2: And I just remember turning around and you've told the story.
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 2: And immediately after I said it, I was like God
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 2: that I felt real, like that I shouldn't. That felt bad.
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 2: I wasn't a ship talker, never really got into stuff

  Speaker 2: with Like my kids asked me all the time, like,
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 2: da did you ever talk shit? I'm like the whole
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 2: game all I could think about was catch my breath
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 2: and when do I get to go sit back on
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 2: the bench to like regroup. Like I had no time
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 2: or energy to be into like pissing matches between plays.
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 2: I was exhausted. I don't know, but it was early
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 2: in the game. I was full of pisson vinegar, you know.
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 2: And I turned around and I remember and I was
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 2: something along the lines of like who the who the
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 2: fuck are you at this point? I had some good years,
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 2: like I was pretty productive, and I was like maybe
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 2: feeling myself too much. And the second I said it
• 2:35:59

• 2:36:17
  Speaker 2: like a little pussy. I guess I felt. I don't
• 2:36:18
  Speaker 2: know I was being sensitive in the moment, I guess,
• 2:36:21
