  Speaker 2: signed community of our pod cast. I feel, dude, how's
• 12:01

• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I am, man.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I mean we, I mean, we talked throughout the whole year,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: but I think this was a decision that was coming
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: for a long time.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: You know, we said I was going to play as
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: long as it made sense.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: And nine years and you know, everybody's like, you gotta
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: get to ten, you gotta get the ten.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I'm like, why, Like, I'm straight, you know.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: What I mean.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I've played out both my deals now, I've done good
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: for myself and I don't have to play, never be
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: in a position where I had to play.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I just feel like.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: The stuff off the field is becoming way more purposeful
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: for me, and that's more stimulating to my mind.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: So I think that it's been a decision longer than
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: making and I'm definitely at peace with it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just thinking that's just our whole year together, like

• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you punch me. And he'd do it two, three times,

• 15:54
  Speaker 2: same thing on the third time or the fourth time,

• 16:15
  Speaker 2: like on next, what was it? Igniting the fire? They do?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't be like I'm kind of exposed by my
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: own coach right now.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Dude, that's brutalized it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: So you don't miss it or there ever are there
• 16:28

• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Like yeah, I mean yeah, like that's the thing that
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: you that you miss.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: But it hasn't really hit in because I've been so
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: busy that I haven't really had time to sit down
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: and process.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: I miss the guys, like you know, I miss having
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: those laughs and stuff and just that that camaraderie. But
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: waking up, you know, putting making sure like because you
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: know how I was with my body, bro, like stop process.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: And so for me it was like, I wake up, Okay,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I feel this little tweak at my knee. I gotta
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: go do some correct exercise. Just gotta go get treatment
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: after this acupuncture, massage, chiropractice. So to be able to
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: kind of just wake up and get on the elliptical
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: and play with my kids and you know, handle business
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: and whatnot. No, I can't say I miss it, bro,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: I really don't. I having a chance to have, you know,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: and mind you, I've been coming to this decision for
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: a long time.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: You know, I mean a long time, like a year. Okay.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: So if the last year around this time, you're like
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: this is it started to pop back in your head
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: like this kind It.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: Was like, yeah, this is my last year at my deal,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: and you know, if it makes sense, if the right
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: opportunities on the table.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I told my.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Agent Aj Vanderchuck, I said, look, man, if it's not
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: a good team, a good market, or a good role,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: don't even entertain it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: And so you know we've had we had talks with teams.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: You know, over the off season, and it was like,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: you know, do I want to uproot my family for
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: a one year deal and move across the country.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Probably not, you know what I mean.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: So when you can tap into everything you're probably doing
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: off the field.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Exactly, I've been sprinkling a lot of seeds throughout my career,
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: and so I think now it's kind of time to
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: activate those seeds and really take advantage of it and leverage,
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: leverage my network.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Right, feel free to plug plug away. Many know, what are.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Some of these seeds? You know, I'm always asking what
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the hell you're up to because I have fomo.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I always have following guys. You're talking business? Hey, boys,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: are we doing this?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: What's the deal?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Here?
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Send me the information? You see the boys fix your name?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: It's a white way that dere So yeah, we got
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: a whole list here. I mean, we're trying to hit
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: some of stuff.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Then that's one of the stuff I know about start
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: at I wanted to start at CBD and THC.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: That was that's like because because I texted you it
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: was recently too. I was like, yo, if if if
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: we take CBD or what did I say. It's like, hey,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: it's CBD legal for us to take because there's all
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: like this tipping point of like knowing CBD has a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: little bit of that whatever percentage in it to where
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: if you test positive for THAC, it's you're clarified for
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: at tree drug. And everybody kind of wanted wants to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: know if can we do CBD because everybody kind of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: knows now how beneficial it is for your body for
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: like muscles, joints and everything like that, and you don't
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: get the psychedelic effect that you do with THHC.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: So people are like, yo, are you doing t Are
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: you doing.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: CBD now when you haven't been tested the one time
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: of year yet, like have you taken CBD? And everybody's like,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you don't really want to test or you don't want
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to push it. So I definitely, I know both of
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: us would like to know about the CBDTC.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: So I wouldn't I wouldn't test it. You know, there's
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: different forms of CBD. There's the full spectrum where you
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: have a little bit of the THAC. So if you
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: have less than point zero three percent of TAC, you
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: know that's full spectrum.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: That's full spectrum CBD oil.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Now what they have is there's a called a CBD extract,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: so they extract the THAC from it, and you're getting
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: straight CBD. You could take that right before a drug
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: test and be fine. Now, what I don't know is
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: the full spectrum that has the THAC. I don't know
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: if that's safe for a drug test. I always tell guys, hey, look,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: wait till you get your tests. Then you can start
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: taking it, you know. And then there's also the ointments
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: and stuff, and nobody's really done a whole bunch of
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: research on it.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: It's not to.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Say it's still vague in a sense, but I think
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: that the NFL just needs to take it off the list.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Like why are we still, you know, getting getting punished
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: for taking, you know, cannabis or whatever using cannabis when
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: we're like the only lead that gets punished for it,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: It's just, yeah, it's backwards to me.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I've talked to a bunch of people about that kind
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: of situation, and it seems like the NFL made it
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: banned right right away, and like the NBA didn't really
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: do that. I don't think hockey does that or baseball
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: does that either. So because they went and did it,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: now hard because it's federally illegal to go back and say, hey,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: just kidding, we won't we're not going to test for
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: that because you know what an X Y and me
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: when there's a YEP and there wouldn't be a Bust
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: with the Boys podcast with a train going by. Just
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: we just fight through adversity all the time. But I
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: do think it's like like a liability issue for the NFL,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: fay or like took it off the banned substance list
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: without it being federally legal, which I which I get you.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, Like it's crazy that like vicing in
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: and percocets and all these things are are so easily
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: prescribed for you, Like, oh, you have an issue to
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: take this, you know, take these pills, say these chemically
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: made things when we're talking about a plant, like you
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: can't take a plant.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I think it's all about public opinion.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the NFL will never be ahead of public opinion.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: They will not take any risks because it's all about
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: the shield.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: So now that you see the public opinion towards cannabis
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: shifting towards more being accepting of it. Yeah, in society,
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: they're kind of like, ah, yeah, we could talk to
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: the NFL PA.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: But this is the one thing you got to understand.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: The NFL is always positioning itself when you in terms
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: of CB the CBA and labor talks because they want
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: to make that an issue and a negotiating point for
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: the next you know, lockout or c CBA.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Coming up.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: And so they're going to be like, hey, look, play
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: eighteen games and we'll let you you know, smoke cannabis,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: That's how they'll leverage it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: We always exactly, we always look at it as there's
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: economic and there's non economic issues when you talk about
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: a CBA agreement, So you can't lump in you know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: something like a medical benefit or cannabis in regards to
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: playing eighteen games. They just, you know what I mean,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: it doesn't equal out. So I think that they're kind
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: of waiting on that to use that as a negotiate
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: negotiation tactic, which is kind of crazy, but that's just
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: what you're dealing with.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: This is business, right. It is kind of like try
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: to get anything. If they can get eighteen games and
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: then say hey, all right, we used some smoke weed
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: or whatever, use cannabis, right, what a shitty deal for
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the players. It kind of is like I saw this
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: said something that, like I saw jo of you guys. Yeah, hey,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: we're gonna take that, right boys, Yeah, he relax. Now,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: it's crazy. It's just it's so wild. I saw something
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: the other day like they're like saying, you do eight
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: players play eighteen games, but you said them for two
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: of them, so still players are only playing sixteen games.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: And it's like, well, then you're messing with people start records.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: You're messing with people snap records, which for offense Liane
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: is kind of all you got. And then it's like
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: why if you're going to play eighteen, play eighteen, then
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: put two bi weeks in there. But like, don't dilute
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: the products you have because you're because it goes up
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: and down a little bit. Now, I don't know all
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: the logistics and everything of how like the NFL and
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: the views, but I do know that you know those
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: rumblings when it came to the anthem and there's rumbling
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: like this and this is all these demographics that are
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: either happy or upset. But like you do eighteen games,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: things might get a little you know, real dice man,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: it might get it might get too dicey. And if
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: you if your conversation for that is like, hey, we'll
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: take two preseason games off, it's like, yeah, who gives
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: a ship? Yeah, like it takes one off. Anyway, games
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: you play at least more starter, you play three series
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: at most sometimes right, and you're done and that's it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Take out a preseason game, keep it at sixteen games
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: at a bye week.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know, But what do you think about? See?
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I'm almost like, when I get into a groove of
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: the season, I'm like, yo, let's just do this when
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I can. Sometimes when I come back from a bye week,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I'm a little more sore. My body is like a
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: little more relaxed. Yeah, you know, and I feel like
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: reamp myself. I have, but almost I don't. I am
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: not standing on this. I'm being Devil's advocate, right. I
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to feel like, Yo, no bye week, let's
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: just rip at sixteen. Yeah you're twenty seven, Yeah, dude,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: it's younger. You turn twenty seven, I'm turning turning. I'm
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: turning twenty turning twenty six right now, were you I
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: think you No, no, no, I'm twenty seven.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I'm turning twenty eight. My father turned twenty eight years six. Yeah, okay,
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: so were you there?
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: You were here where we had a bye week after
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Week three? Yes, and then we had thirteen Street.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That was a tough That was a tough year.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: That was miserable.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Like imagine playing three games going to
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: a bye week.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: That's always the worst. Like this, late those late by
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: weeks the best we had. I think the year after that,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: we had like a week ten by week or like
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the latest week you could have, and everyone was like, oh,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: this is love. Yeah, I've always been archy, dude.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: The Skins had Week four last year and I was
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: all text boys like, hey man, that that beginning bye
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: week or early in the year, that blows.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tian's got a good one this year. It's like
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the it's in November, okay, so that's all that's I
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: think the first week in November, it's like a week solid.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: How you feel about the season, bro, I feel good
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: about it, man. I think the good thing about Arthur
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: being the OC is it gives everybody a chance to
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: be in the same offense. Two years in a row,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: which we never really got. Our defense is always like
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: even since I've been here, even when we went two
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: and fourteen and three and thirteen, Like, I just feel
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: like y'all are always so consistent. Yeah, you know, it's
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: just about the offense. The ebbs and flows of the
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: offense got to be more consistent, and like the offensive line,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: we do a better job of protecting. Give Marcus more time.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Receivers got to get open faster. Like it's all you know,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: it's the team sport. But I really think like of
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: all the years, it seems like people are really starting
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: to buy in quite a bit. Like when I first
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: got there in Tilsy fourteen, it was a lot of
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: old dudes like your tender, like Michael Ruse and Chris
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Spencer was in our room and it was kind of
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: like just kind of did your thing, you know. It's
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: like everyone was in and out. I didn't really understand
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: like the NFL at all. Now I'm starting to get it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like dudes are working hard, and we got
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: talent too. We got some young guys with some talent.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: A lot of talent.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think it's all about culture, you know
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: what It really is. It's like I seen guys I
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: came in my first year at Jeff Fisher, so it
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: was Vince Young, Chris Johnson, you know, like older like
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Chris Hope, Courtland Finn again, we had a really old team.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: That team.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, guys just kind of did whatever they wanted whatever,
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: playing in Miami, lose the game, stay in Miami, don't
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: even get on the tough Yeah, that's.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: So like when I got out, I was like, man,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: what is going on? This is kind of loose to loose.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I wasn't used to that, and then you know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: he was going Then Munchet came, and then Wizard Hunt.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Who was next?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Malarkey Malarkey?
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: And then now it was like man, it's just I've
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: seen so many different cultures try to be implemented, and
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: I've been kind of studying that. It's like okay, what
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: like I try to take notes on like each you know,
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: leader or coach that came in. It's like, okay, run
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: your own business. Yeah, like what can I take away
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: from this? Like this works here just didn't really quite
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: go over so well. Guys bought into this, but this
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: didn't work, And so I tried to look at each
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: coach and kind of learn and take something away from
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: each coach that I could apply in, you know, in
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: the business world, because I mean it's you're leading the organization,
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: right men, how would you compare them all since you've
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: been under way?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: It sounds like you read off five there, Yeah, makeays.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: So I think I think the common thread that I
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: think worked the best, at least from.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: My perspective, was ownership.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Having the team feel like there's a sense of ownership,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: that you have a say somewhat.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: In what's going on.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: As to say, hey, look, this is more of a
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: collaborative approach, right, like understanding that there is a hierarchy,
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: there is authority, understanding those things. But to me to say, hey, look,
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: i'm the head coach, I'm going to ask your input.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: You're the one on the field sacrificing your body and
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: doing all the work. Yes, I have a certain vantage point,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: but let's collaborate.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Let me get your insight. I might not agree with it,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: but I'm gonna at least ask you, right.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: So, I think when you kind of start to facilitate
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: that type of ownership and that collaboration from a team
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: get you get even more buying. You know, I think
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: I think Malarkey did a good job at that. You know,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: I think that you know, we had the leadership councils
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: and you know, all those different things, and I know
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: you probably had your opinions on.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: My Larkey, but it's like, you know.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: We we had like a core group of guys, whether
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: it be Vets, Starters, you know, the leaders of the team,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: and they kind of we kind of governing the locker
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: room essentially, you know what I mean, if we've seen
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: something going going on, we were able to hold people accountable.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: And you know, I think that we still had you
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: guys still had it, you know, on the team. But
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: I think having people feel like, you know, they're part
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: of something that they have a piece of ownership in it.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: I think that applies to any any type of business,
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: What I mean, is that something you implement with the
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: stuff you have going on.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: I think you gotta like it's a difference between paying
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: somebody to do a job and like, let's just say
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: me and you start a business and you should Yeah,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: it's gonna happen.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: It's gonna happen.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: So it's like, let's just say we go in, you know,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: on a joint venture, and you know, I could pay
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: you as a consultant or an employee, or I could say, hey, look,
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: take some equity and we'll just kind of build this
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: thing out. You're gonna put way more time and energy
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: into it, knowing that you have some skin in the game,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: knowing that you're that you have ownership, and that you
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: a piece of it. Then as I say, hey, look,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to pay you for nine to five.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: You can clock and you clock out, but if you
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: own part of that business, you might work nine to
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: five and then go home and work seven to ten,
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: So it's all about.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Having that sense and trying to facilitate that and stimulate
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: that in people to say, hey, look, buy into what
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: we're doing, you know what I mean. So I think
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: that that's something I've always kind of looked at it
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: from coaches, and I can apply that in the business
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: world as well.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's good man.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah how about what? Yeah another trend? What business have
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you implemented that kind of like thought, like, I don't
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: know what all all of your stuff that you do.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I see you're getting a lot more traffic and action
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: through Vainner, Vanner Media, Vyner Sports that you're with. Yeah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much they've taught you, how much
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: you collaborate with them. I don't know what all businesses
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: you're in besides you know, the vegan really the vegan business,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: really in some of the philanthropy work that you do.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: But are you Are you involved in any CBD or
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: TSG companies?
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: No, I'm on like a board called Athletes for Care
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: that we kind of advocate for athletes' rights to use
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: cannabis products. But I'm not specifically affiliated with any cd
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: D or cannabis. A lot of people came out the
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: woodwork kind of when I started advocating for it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: And you know this is probably because it's like trendy.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: It's very trendy four years ago.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: You came out with them. Might cause my clean things.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: You have the marijuana leagues on there, and all of
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: a sudden, you had a random drug test.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Thought I had many drug tests over the last couple
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: of years.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: What did you get random judges for like substance abuse
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: or for p D because they can't they can't substance
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: abus Once a year.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: It's only once a year, but I had, like I
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: probably had seven to eight p D tests last year.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Really, I mean, you were right there. He's like Derek
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: got it again.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: But but no, I mean when you say about like
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: you mentioned Vayner, Like.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Hang on a second, you're on that panel, what are
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the benefits of cannabis, Like what do you advocate for?
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Like why the TG and cannabis route over the pain
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: meds and the medicines that we have now in our league?
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Bro?
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Like you guys remember like all the reports of the
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: ct and like guys killing themselves, Like when Junior Saya
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: committed suicide, that kind of shook me up. I was like, damn,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: this guy had everything. He played twenty years row a famer.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: So I'm like, what would it take for him to
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: kill himself? Like he had it all? And so when
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: I started to really look into it, and I'm looking
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: at CTE and like.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Like is that going to be me in ten fifteen years?
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: And so I started looking into other alternatives because there
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: weren't no options. It was just like, yeah, you play
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: this game and you hope and pray to God that
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: you're going to be straight in you know, fifteen twenty
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: years that you could live.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: A normal life. But I was like, nah, I got
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: to be more proactive.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: And then eug Monroe, he was playing for the Ravens
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: at the time, he was at the actual first you
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: know advocate for NFL in the NFL for cannabis, and
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: I seen him on CNN talking about it, and I
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: reached out to him like, yo, bro, like what's up,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Like I need to learn about this, and he just
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: started sharing research with me. Like in Israel they're doing
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: they do a lot of research on cannabis. Because it's
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: a little bit more open, you can you can.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Research it more easily.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: And so I started reading stuff, looking at the neural
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: protecting qualities of it.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: You know, when you when you.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Go play football, like you're doing this all day, and
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: so you get those subconcussive hits that create inflammation in
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: your brain. And so what CBD oil is basically patented
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: as is a neural protectant. So if you take CBD oil,
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: let's just say you take some in theory before you
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: go and play a game, it would essentially limit the
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: amount of inflammation that comes into your brain from you
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: know different you know, head trauma, So that was the
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: big reason for me. I know a lot of guys
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: use it for pain inflammation. It's just a healthier alternative.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: It works works naturally with your system as opposed to
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: opioid or you know, another painkiller.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: It's just not as toxic to your system. So it's
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: all about having options, bro.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, CBD is definitely like something that could absolutely help.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I have a buddy who has a company in Arizona
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: called True Infusion, and they do like everything organic, like
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: the right way to make CBD and stuff like that,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: So they run all that and he all the times like, man,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I wish I could give you some of the stuff
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: to take while you're playing. And it's like if you
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: go and I took a pain pill, like for the
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: next three four days, like I've taken pain pills and
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: we can all agree, Like you don't feel better then
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: when you take a pain pill, like it's you feel amazing.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: There's a reason why it's so addictive. Yeah, exactly, it's
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: not that you don't have pain. It's like you forgot
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: there ever existed the word pain. You know what I'm saying.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Life's just different now, you know what I'm saying, so
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: but like once once you take that, like that chemically
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: imbalances your brain and so for the next three four days,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: like I'll even notice, like you know, I'm more ear
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: or I'm more like I'm more short with my wife
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: or my patience. I don't have as much patiences my
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: kids or whatever. So it's kind of like it's so
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: easy to see and something like a plant, like that's
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: so natural, and I just don't know why there's so
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: much resistance on something like even hemp. Like if you
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: started growing and producing hemp, I've said this before in
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: this podcast, Like there's one hundred thousand products that you
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: could replace with hemp, including plastic, which is like like
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: truly affecting our ecosystem, our oceans and everything to an
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: extent that it's not going to be us. And that's
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: like human means are naturally selfish. Human beings are where
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: we come from caveman times. We haven't involved enough. We're
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: so focused on how do we eat, how do we reproduce,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: and how do we get ours? You know, and the
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: thing we need to start focusing on is like it's
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: not going to be our kids, or it means going
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: to be our kids kids you know, it says our
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: grandkids are great grandkids that are going to feel the
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: effects of what we're doing now. And something as simple
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: as letting an athlete it takes something like CBD would
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: be so beneficial because you don't have those things, like
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: if you really were focused on like, let's focus on
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: CT being an issue, Like you don't want brain issue
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: to have like outfits linman defensive linemen, those like little
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: tiny hits we call them sub subconcussion, sub subconcussive hits
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: like those those are the things that add up over time,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: and those are things you don't feel. But I noticed
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: myself like even in November December, late in the season,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I'll be home and I'll be having my buddies will
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: come see me, and they'll be talking to me after games.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not even I can't even really form send it.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I can talk, I can't talk, but like I'm like,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not as like, uh, I'm not as sharp, I'm
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: not as like you know what I'm saying. So that's
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: definitely something that could be. Yeah, we should be focused on.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Years down the road, like probably in the near future,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: ten fifteen years whatever, we're going to look back at
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: this time and kind of like laugh at the way
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: we're the NFL and we all tried to go after hey,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: replacing this with this and be like, yeah, what were
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: we thinking taking all this stuff back then? We kind
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: of know it now, yeah, you know intuitably we know
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: that now, but we're definitely going to look back. One man,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it took this long for this stuff
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: to kind of pass.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Or it's the same thing as like we look at
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: we look at like thirty years ago or one hundred
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: years ago, and doctors like there's a there's a bell
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Mead plantation down the road and they have like it's
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: a really cool place to go check out. I went
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: and saw it's like a museum. And this woman had asthma. Well,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: whenever the eighteen hundred or whatever that was around, the
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: prescribed her to smoke cigarettes and climb at high altitudes
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: because the lung is sort of got because the lung
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: was viewed as a muscle and not like you know
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: So it's like and you look.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: At it, you're like, what idiots? Yeah, but in one
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: hundred years they look at us going, yo, what idiots. Well,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: it's so like technology is moving so fast, which allows
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: us modern medicine to also move equally as fast. So
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: the doctors that go to school in the eighties and
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: doctors their identity is one hundred percent what they know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: you know. So so if you go if you have
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: a doctor that went to school, graduated in eighty two
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: and didn't do anything else, his shit's so outdated and
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: it's not fair. And if you say, well, a doctor
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: told me to do this, doctors can be idiots too,
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, unless you stay on top
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: of everything and go towards like hey, like we got
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: to I had to learn and progress and grow, Like
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: it's it's so easy to have a PhD.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, we deal with that a little bit in
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the training that I was just about to say that
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: the teams you're on the training rooms, you're kind of
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: dated to what they know, and guys like yourself, like,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I've learned a lot from you over just being with
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: you for a year, and yeah, and you just kind
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: of you kind of realize the education you try and
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: get outside of the facility and the stuff you read
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: into or listen whether it's a podcast or any of
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: that information out there and you start to learn and
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: question a few things or try to challenge not even
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: not necessarily challenge it, or you realize your innocent self
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: bringing it up in that environment and when they kind
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: of just like laugh at you or or you know,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: just frown upon it or belittle it, and you're just like, man,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: what you know, I've read this is actually has some
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: really beneficial stuff and a lot of these a lot
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: of a lot of trainers or doctors anybody, they need
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of data and research throughout time to kind
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: of prove that instead of being like being Greenfield somebody
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: who experiments on himselves all the time and can give
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: you data and some stuff to try out and go
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: after and you're kind of like, yo, I'm going to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: do this too. They're kind of like, nah, we're not
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: there yet, or that doesn't make sense because of what
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: I was taught back in you know, the nineties.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they it's funny. I think a few years ago
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: my nickname around the facility was doctor Morgan, and I
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: definitely see that it wasn't in a positive way like
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: it was the it was because you know, we talk
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: about being in the training room, the outdated you know,
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: methodologies and the approach to treating injuries. And you know,
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: if you're a rookie, fringe free agent type of.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Guy, you don't necessarily have time to waste.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: You know, I sing your knee, you need something that
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: might has to expedite that train that that that healing.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: And so you know, I do a lot of.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Things that are unorthodox, that are necessarily outside of the
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: the realm of expertise of these trainers. So, like you said,
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: they don't necessarily understand it. But I was telling guys like, look,
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: every time you get injured, get a second opinion. Absolutely
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: has down, get a second opinion. You can't rely on
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: somebody because it's a conflict of ventures. The way the
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: training room is set up in the NFL, it's just
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: a conflict of interest.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Like I've seen guys, you know, get screwed over because
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: of politics and just different you know, things that weren't
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: necessarily related to the injury.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: It was just like political stuff. It wasn't it was
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: bad advice.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm not naming names, but I just think
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: that the more innovative you can be when it comes
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: to your health, and the more flexible you can be,
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: because we all know, like the rate of information is
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: like doubling at like an exponential rate because there's so
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: much information out there. Yes, so like everything's constantly changing,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: and so if you're still relying on stuff from like
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: nineteen eighty two or even two three years ago, you're outdated.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Right, you're not continuing that knowledge. You an education, bro.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: But the play Devil's Advocate, like those guys, it's not
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: that they want to. It's not that anybody tries to
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: necessarily mess you over. It's just that everyone kind of
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: works under the what they the owners like their job
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: is to get the product on the field as fast
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: as possible from what they know, and it's not and
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: when the head coach or the owner anybody comes in
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: your office and they're checking on a player, like hey,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: where's so and so at, Like where are we at
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: with him? And in their mind they're just going over
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: anything they've ever went with you, like, yeah, we should
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: probably have him ready in a week, knowing in his
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: mind maybe it's two weeks, but they don't want to
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: hear that right now. So I'm going to say a week,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: and then I'm going to go to that athlete and
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: you're kind of like, hey, you know, we need to
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: get a roll on how you feel and how that
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: they don't hear the right response, they can filter how
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: they won you know, either hey, you know he they're
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: either battling for you or it's like, you know, he's
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: just not necessarily you know, he's not pushing the way
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: we're trying to push. You can get painted different ways,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: they can pay it different ways. But they have a
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: job to try to you know, they have to go
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: home too.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: It's a position for them to be in.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: It's not fair, right, And we talk about that at
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: the PA is like, can you have you know, a
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: built in second opinion or and somebody who's not affiliated
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: with the team in essentially come in and administer rehab
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: and second opinions and advice because I get it, bro, Like,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: I get there in a mess up position. You know
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, at the end of the day, who
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: really suffers though? It's the player, right, you know, we're
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: at the you know, we're at the you know, discretion
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: of what they tell us. And if you're a young guy,
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: you know you're gonna believe mostly of what everybody tells you.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: And so you know, it is what it is. I
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: know We can't get too deep.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: On that on here, but I definitely think that the
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: more guys can educate themselves and look at to like,
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: you know, you're a vet bro, like, so you're setting
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: an example for somebody coming into the to the league.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: So it's like if I come in and I'm a rookie,
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at te la Wan Okay, I see he
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: has a routine. You know, he has an approch to
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: how he maintains his health, and yes, he's a professional
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: about it. So I think the more that we can
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: model that and you can model that, the better and
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: just kind of being that sound board for guys and
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: that voice of reason, because when you're coming in as
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: a rookie and you're not like a high draft pick.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Bro, You're just you're kind of on your own, you're
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: going I've never I've never had an issue with like
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Todd Tursl. He's the head trainer of the Titans. He's
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: always been so good to me, so good to me
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: in so many ways. And when we talk about education,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: like the difficult thing about education, especially with modern medicine,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: is that there's so much information out there, but it's
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: not just about this is the way. It's this is
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: the way, and there's another one saying no, that's the way,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: and then there's one that's more in the middle. There's
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: so many different ways to process information and so many
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: different opinions that when you go and you get these things.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: If we're talking about an a cl all these things,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: there's positives and negatives to all that stuff. And it's
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: people's jobs as are who are in that position, whether
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: you be a doctor or a trainer, a physical therapist,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: you it's your job to go and not only read
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: the stuff that you agree with, but read the stuff
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: you don't agree with as well. So you have an
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: opportunity for your own self to play devil's advocate and
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: keep you in check for the stuff that you know
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: you might have felt, well that's ridiculous before. Well it's
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: a classic term. Don't knock and seel. You try it,
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: You got it. You got to give those things a shot.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: I like Ben Greenfield so much because he does do
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: those things. He'll he'll hack his sana to sort of
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: over two her degrees and he'll do yoga in it
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: for ninety minutes, you know, and just to see what
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: that's like. He'll go through different recovery routines and check
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: stuff out, but he puts on his body. But a
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: big thing people to know is need to know as well,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: is not every human being the same. It's not like
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: we're all four trucks and manufacturing in the same place.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: My GenEx are different than nears are different the nears.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Some things are gonna work better for me than they
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: are for you. Some guys love the static stretch, you know,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: and then but there's things that says sag stretching shuts
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: out for CNS, which is your central nervous system. So
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: but some guys, I've seen dudes in our locker room
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: go and be like literally static stretching before games turns,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: before we go out. They say, like, it's an hour
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: and a half until it's right. But then I see
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: those guys killing it. He don't, Yeah, you see, I
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: see those guys killing it. So it's like it's tough.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: But I will say, you're a lot. You're more than
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: welcome to talk about whatever you want because like you
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: should never there should never be there can always be
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: pushback for having an opinion, but like as long as
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: it's productive, like what you're all the things you're saying
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: is productive. I there's something you don't agree with, then
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: you should never feel bad. I. Yeah, I'm employed by
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: the Titans. I think the Titans do an amazing job.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: They do a great job. You yourself, you're you can
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: say whatever you want and I'm I will say whatever
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I want to, you know, because it's like, that's what
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: the whole point of having you know, your own production
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: of things right now, it's it's not hey, Derek Morgan
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: said this. Derek Morgan said that. It's like, oh, Derek
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Morgan actually said this, right, these are his words. Right.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I enjoyed with Todd is and you
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: you probably you probably I would assume you probably had
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: the same relationship with them. But like when Todd he
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: would know that I read or like do a lot
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: of stuff to where I'm legitimately asking questions or if
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I take something or bring it in and he's like, yeah,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: if you.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Think that's better, go ahead and do that.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Like guys like working with you, I think that's where
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: you get that's where you get progress. And you said
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: it earlier, like guys coming into the league in the league,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: young cats like always educating yourself because again, like you
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: are your own business no matter what. And if you
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: get messed over and you kind of go down that path,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: like it's just as much on you as it is
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: you wanting to point a finger at like, oh, you know,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I got messed over this way. Like if you find
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: the right vest, ask questions too, and you find the
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: knowledge yourself and try to constantly educate, you can kind
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: of stay on top or or try and be a
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: little ahead of the game to where you know you.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Go about it the right way. I see a little,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I see a little.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: Your teeth look good, man.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Do you even have to brush your teeth anymore? They just
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: stay well all the time. No, I do, because my
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: boy just choose gum now to I don't have to
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: he puts in a cup at night. Well, man, I
• 46:57

• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: I have to floss now too. I used to not
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: have to floss just because you didn't flost before. It's
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: what you're saying. Well, you know if that's true.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: But you know, people when they look at me, they
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: didn't know if they should kick a field goal or
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: just you know, few me a toothbrush.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Hey, cop, what do you got going on under the hood.

• 47:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, there was definite an issue before.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's clearly something on.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: My personality is I guess right, guys didn't even know it.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Look at that, My.

• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, that's true. That's true.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: Kind of like straight hand, you know, Like, I mean,
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: he has the gap, but it's like his personality.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: He fixed his gap. He fixed it, and then he
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: decided he's like this ain't me and he actually went
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: back and reap and fixed it.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: He recapped, he recat I told when I was going,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: when they were about to do everything, I was like, hey, guys,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: if I don't like this, can we shave.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Everything back to what it used to be? And like
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: he was like, yeah, no problem that. He's like can't
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: that's a lie? What?
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: No?
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Well, when they put him in that you kind of bite,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: and he shaved stuff perfectly anyway.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: But I'm saying, like, you set me a picture of
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: your teeth when they.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: Filed the things down.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying here, my two year old's teeth with
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: the same size as your teeth when they filed them down.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: So I'm saying she had these little I'm saying like,
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: if you like, hey, I want to go back to
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: be like, yeah, it's just too late now, Like your
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: teeth are perfect.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: It's a lifetime decision.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lifetime save these right here.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: If I wasn't, if I didn't like it, he'd be
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: able to shave these to look like my old ones.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: So yeah, they just you know, they did just give
• 48:48

• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Do it? Let's I took listen litten do it.

  Speaker 4: into it. Never heard anything from m Damn. And it
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: was like they had set my expectations so high of
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: what an agency was supposed to deliver, and they just
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, bro, I got nothing, and it was almost like, yeah.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: You're in a bad market, You're in Nashville. But I'm like, look, bro,

• 50:28
  Speaker 4: like the guys that just mentioned the Peyton Manning's at
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: the time. Lebron was with them, like everybody you could
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: think of they have, and so it's like it's almost
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: like when something comes to them, those.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: Guys get it first, and you get you get what's left.
• 50:42

• 51:17

• 51:25
  Speaker 4: three year hiatus where I didn't hear anything from my
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: agent three years, like three years. And then coming around
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: on my contract year, Hey, Derrick, how's it going.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: So you're not even hearing check You're not even getting
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: check ins or anything.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: I thought you were talking about marketing, adverthing.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about Hello, what's up, bro? Like nada.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: So it comes around to my contract year and I
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: started getting those texts, what's up, d how you doing man?
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Just checking in? And I'm like, oh, it's contract time.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: And so I fired them before my contract and I
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: went out and got somebody else and for a reduced
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: straight you know, because I didn't I didn't agree with
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: the three percent they weren't delivering to get that. So
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: I get negotiating on my terms with another agency, same thing,
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: over promised, under delivered. And my whole thing was They're like,
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: look there, we got this McDonald's deal for you got
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: the subway deal coach PEPSI, And I was like, look.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Bro, the next Jared.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day, I was.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Let's let's not be the next I didn't think that
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: joke all the way through.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Were listen, all right?
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: So moving forward anyway, I told them, I said, look,
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: I can't endorse something that I wouldn't give my kids.
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: So I wouldn't give my kids McDonald's, so I can't.
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: I can't endorse this.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: So it was my values.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: I was kind of like pulling that and they were
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: just kind of like, we got nothing for you. So
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: I fired them, damn son. And so two years ago,
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: what was that second agency?
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Vanguard?
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Vanguard? Yeah, Vanguard Vanguard like the index funds.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't them though, that was just.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: A different one, so like it but different.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I didn't know if it was like an
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: umbrella like Vanguard is like we're going to branch off
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: me an agency now too.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: I mean they could if they wanted to.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: But so anyway, I got connected to Vander Sports from
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: one of my friends in college and they was like, hey,
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: have you heard of Gary Vaynerchuk And I was like who?
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: And so I started googling.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: Them and you know, taking them in doses and yeah,
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: she just borked into the bike.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: That's all right, can't smell it from here. All right, Well,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: now you're getting us sick.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: I don't, look, it's just the alismologies.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: So anyway, I got in touch with Vandersports, and I
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: mean bro like their business, rollerdecks and their network insane.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: They weren't approaching the sports agent you know, industry from
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: same perspective as everybody else, right, they were approaching representing
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: athletes from more of a business mindset. And it's like, hey, look,
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: we have this whole rolodex of companies that we work with.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: Let's leverage that.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: Not everybody's going to be a Gatorade ad or a
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: Pepsi ad, you know, those huge ads.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: But we do have.
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: Something like an accounting service who likes the service, entrepreneurs
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: that want to be affiliated with an NFL guy. Oh
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: and by the way, they'll pay you fifty racks.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: So it's like, okay, well that makes sense to me.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: I like what they're doing, where do I sign exactly?
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: So I think what they did and I think what
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: they're doing is they're evolving and they're kind of challenging
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: the status quo of what an agent looks like instead
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: of you know, getting collecting a check and kind of
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: seeing your next contract.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: I went to Vanger and They had no incentive from
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: my contract because I was still with my old agent,
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: so they were just basically getting paid on what they
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: brought to the table. And you know, through the last
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: two years, I've been able to kind of reach out
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: to them, but hey, do you have a connection with
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: this guy? And AJ be like hey one second, and
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: literally within you know, twenty four hours, he would have
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: me connected to that person. So their network were so
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: strong that I was able to tap into that and
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: leverage it to say, hey, look this is what this
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: is the things that I'm focused on. Can you help
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: me get in contact with this person or set up
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: a meeting or a call.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: And they were able to do that.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: And on the marketing side, I mean they just looked
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: into their role indecks of companies and to say, hey,
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: look we have this company here, they want to work
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: with you, They're willing to pay or get you an
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: equity deal and whatnot. And so that's the other thing
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: that we started to look at is how can we
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: get equity out of companies instead of just getting compensation.
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: So like the Beyond Meat deal that me and my
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: wife are part of, like we were brand ambassadors, but
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: we didn't take any money up front. We just took
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: equity and so you know, I got to thank my
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: wife for negotiating that deal.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: But it's almost like having the long term in mind
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: where you don't have to take the quick cash, right.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: And it's like I could have took fifty thousand dollars
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: from Beyond Meat, but I took thirty thousand dollars worth
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: of equal And I mean.
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: You see what Beyond Me is doing right now.
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's like having that mindset and that that
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: approach to kind of say.
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: Look, let's not let's think more long term on things.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: And vain Or Sports has really done a great job
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: of helping me approach the business, you know, side of
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: things from that from that vantage.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Point, and athletes are becoming more aware of theirselves as
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: a business more than just.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: A football player.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Like guys that in our circles all the time are
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: getting into different endeavors for different things all the time,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: like you yourself, Taylor Is. I try to but it's
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: pretty dope, man, talk about talk about your wife and
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the whole, the whole beyond not even beyond me, but
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: the whole vegan stuff. I'm a big carnivore. Talk about that. Man,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: you talk about how big, how much of a stud
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: your wife has has been in this whole process.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: Have you have you have you guys ever tasted my
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: wife's food?
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've tasted something like when guys sometimes you guys
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: tell me about her.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: She made Thekwan's food.
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, said okay, Google, so you kind of see
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: how she cooks, right, So the types of food that
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: she cooks doesn't make you want to feel like you're compromising.
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: Right when I think vegan, I was like, man, I
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: gotta eat none but vegetables. Like we literally tried to
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: go vegan in twenty fifteen and my wife went to
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: Whole Foods and she bought a whole bunch of vegetables
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: and we just came home and dumped it on the
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: counter and were like, what the hell do.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: We do with this?
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: And we lasted like seven days and we failed, and
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: we you know this. Back around twenty seventeen, I was
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: looking for different ways to enhance my recovery because I
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: kept hearing that it cut down inflammation. And I was
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: consulting with this nutrition that she kept sending me research
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: and research, and I kept looking it up and I'm like, shoot,
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna try this off season. It's like March at
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: this time, let's try it. So I slowly started to
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: cut out red meat, I cut out poultry, eggs, and
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: then the last thing to go was dairy. And so
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: what I realized was what I started to notice was
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: every time I ate something that didn't have animal products
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: in it, I felt like I was I didn't have
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: that slump you know, when you eat something you kind
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: of your body kind of takes a little bit to
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: get back going, because that's your body breaking down whatever
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: you put into your stomach. So it's creating, it's using
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: a lot of energy to.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: Break down whatever you eat.
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: So when you eat more of a plant based diet,
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: it's easier on your system to process that and digest it,
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: so you can use those that energy for other systems
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: in your body.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: And so for me, that was another thing I looked at.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: I have hereditary high blood pressure, and so I was
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: twenty one years old with high blood pressure as a
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: Division one athlete, Like that didn't make sense to me.
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: And so when I got my blood panels back, that
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: was back the perfect you know, the levels were amazing, So.
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: That dropped my sea reactive protein, which is your inflammation drop,
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: and then just my overall energy.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: Bro, Like, I felt great. Like the first year I
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: went through.
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: It was twenty seventeen and we're in training camp and
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: you know, like day nine ten training camp, you start
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: to get grind, feel everything. And I was still waking
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: up like I'm straight, like I'm a little sore, but
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: I'm good, you know what I mean. This is like
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: year seven at the time, and I was feeling really good.
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: I was scared because the whole, the whole myth is
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: what the protein, right, the protein protein protein?
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: How can you you know, how's that gonna affect you?
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: And so when I came back to training camp, I
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: still felt strong, I still felt good, and my weight
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: was still pretty sustainable. I was like two sixty two,
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: but my body fat a drop, you know, my body
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: just kind of leaned out.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: So I'm a big believer in it.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: I tell people, look, if you can do maybe like
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: one meal a day that's that doesn't have meat, then
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: you're you're on the right track. We don't look at
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: it from like a judgemental standpoint, because we get judged, bro,
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: Like vegans would judge us for wearing leather shoes.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, dude, like I'm not on that now,
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it'll get kind of crazy. That shit will
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: get kind of out of hand.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: Dude.
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Like if you're like, first off, what other people do
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: is none of your business, right number one, So fuck
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: off you. I just hate it when people are like
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: I'm doing this, so everybody should do this. It's like, listen, like,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not a vegan. Do I think there's a place
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: for this world. Absolutely? If someone's a vegan and I'm not,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: does it piss me off? Absolutely?
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: Not right?
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: You know, but I think, like, you know, I think
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: people are trying to find these crazy like health like
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: go in and I'm gonna be vegan now, but they
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: don't understand that what that means. You can be vegan
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: and be unhealthy. You know what I'm saying. You can.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: You can be vegan being healthy. And it's like sometimes
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: case starting don't put don't eat process me like grass fed,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: take care, take care of your body, Yeah, take your
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: body in the right way is like, don't things things
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: that are natural? Look at the nutrition nutrition facts in
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: the back of the thing. And if there's words you
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: can't pronounce probably not, you know what I'm saying, like
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: and that that's a great way to start. You'll start
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: to feel the energy. It need a lot of green
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: screens that you can that can help you have those fats.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: People are so scared of the word fats. They don't
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: want to be fat. When fats help exactly, Fat's helpier.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: Like if you like, if you people want to do
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: a Kido diet, those types of things. Dairy, Yeah, I
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: cut out dairy and it feels amazing. Right Cheese Now,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: if you look at cheese when it's melted, like that's
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: in your body, that's gonna you're gonna feel sluggish. But
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: and it's if people are going to do vegan, Like
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: I've seen people that have gone vegan and they look amazing.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: It looks so healthy, they look great, their you know,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: their body mass is still there and they have their
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: high functioning. I've seen other people go vegan and maybe
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: they're doing something different or whatever, but they don't look great.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: They almost look sickly at times. And so it's important.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Just like people want to quick fix for everything that's
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. Everyone wants to look at it and see
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: an article and be like that's it. That's what I'm
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: going to do. In reality. It's like you have to
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: educate yourself on some stuff. You're in a documentary coming out,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: So sorry, yeah, it's all right, loops of daisies, you
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: have just a bit over rant, but okay, anyway, long
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: story show, Like there's a lot of things you need
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: to be afraid of, like not afraid of. There's a
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: lot of things you need to not fear because of
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: fear propaganda like that. What's that documentary that came out
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: with the with the What the Health? What the Health?
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Like a lot of that I I I've I haven't
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: seen that, but I've seen a doctor's reaction to it
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: and stuff. And there's a lot of things in there
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: are good. Like there's when you're talking about animal agriculture,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: Like that's scary enough as it is that that is
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: bad for the environment. You don't have to fluff it
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: up or make it worse to cause like a fear propaganda.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: Like there are things, like we've talked about on this podcast,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: you can do a lot to help this world right
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: now taking care of animals and doing it the right
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: way and using every bit of the animal Like those
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: are good ways for people that want to eat me.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: But it's it's like it's all about making choices and
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: doing your and doing your you know, your homework, take
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: your get your blood done, see what you're deficient in
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: and work on those things, and it's you're going to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: feel better. But it's not just a flip of the
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: switch and it's over.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: It's a process.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're part of a documentary coming out, aren't you.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: I saw you, I saw you boost. That's what's it
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: called called Game Changers? Is it going to change the game?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: I think you will.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Really.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger is in it, so I kind
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: of piqued my attention.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: Damn.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: It's just about plant based athletes, right, you know, it's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: everybody from weightlifters to people who run track, football players,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: Lewis Hamilton, the race car driver. Yeah, I think was
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: Venus Williamson or Serena Williams. I think she may be
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: a part of it.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: But yeah, when's that dropping September? Yeah, it's pretty dope,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: you know. James Cameron, Yeah, Titanic Okay.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly a producer on it, and so yeah, it
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: seems to be a game here.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: Just let me get on this. Yeah, I'm the plant
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: based right now. Yeah, change back everything I just said.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to do that thing. James CAMRA's doing it. Yeah,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: I lovely. Let's do this thing.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Fact for people curious about this being vegan or vegan
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: diet and kind of the way you go about nutrition,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: the nutrients that you don't necessarily get in a vegan diet,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: I want to know how you get this stuff in
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: your body, whether it be vitamin B. You've heard all
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, Vitamin B, vitamin B twelve, vitamin
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: the iodine, iron, calcium, and zinc.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: Like, how do you do you supplement that? Yeah? You
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: supplement that stuff.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: And I think that if you take a you know,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: a big enough sample from the general population, I think
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: we're all deficient in those Yeah, because if you look
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: at it out of mean B twelve we used to
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: get that from the soil, right, but now the soil
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: has been so overly farmed and it's so nutrient depleted
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: that we don't even get B twelve from the soil.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: No more so, I think that we would all.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: Be deficient in B twelve if we did, you know,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: blood panels and on a regular diet. So I think
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 4: that you know, understanding what could be the deficiencies with
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: the vegan diet and supplementing. I mean there might be
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: days where you know, I don't have all my macros
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: in a in a meal, correct, And I'll just drink
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: a protein shake bro like forty grands of protein P protein, and.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: I'll get my amino acid profile.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: And so it's just I think people kind of get
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 4: overworked up about the protein thing.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: It's like, dude, like, all I got to do is
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: drink a shake. I'm cool.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: I got my full acid profile and my full protein
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: needs for the day.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: And I'm straight, yeah, you know, but supplementation.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: What's uh what your guys is you're in your wife's
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: business called company called.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: Shoot my wife is she got her own business.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: She's like, hey, you know, I know we did that
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: that uh that appearance together, but I need my half.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she start plugging that.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: So her I mean it's chef Charity Morgan. That's you know,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: that's her brands, her personality, and then you know she's
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: her businesses is a plant life chef and so she
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: does I call her a transitional chef.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: So if you're on the fence, and you're thinking about
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: going plant based and you want to try things.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: She's that person that can make you a mac and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: cheese or like a shrimp pole boy.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: Familiar with like exactly, so you don't have to go
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: and eat a quinoa bowl, like what's that?
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: Like I used to call it canoa, like like people
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: don't even know a print stuff. So I think that,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: you know, that's what she's really amazing at. And she
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: does a great job. It's a reason fifteen twenty guys
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: are on our meal plan. Yeah, it's just that you
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: don't have to compromise and the taste and it's hardy,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: you know, it's hardy meal. So I think she's doing
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: a good job of kind of creating a brand for herself.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: She's in talks with some some networks to do a show.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: It's the reason I'm retiring, because you know she's retired sugarmoth.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you got a sugar momba now.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, she's she's doing really good on that.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: And you know, we just we're trying to collaborate and enhance.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: Each other's efforts whenever we at at the time. But
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: you know, she's doing her thing. I'm doing my thing,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: and then we come.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: Together on Yeah, what's her what's the website chef.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: Charity Morgan dot com And you can find her on
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: Twitter and Instagram chef Charity Morgan.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: So we need it right there.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your philanthropy work, Yeah, talk about talk about the
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: things that you're involved in.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: The philanthropy has been an evolution over the years and
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: really bro like it's like the phonemo. It's kind of
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: a form of a phono of like not wanting to
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: look up ten years from now, but like, damn, I
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: should have did this while I had the platform, Like
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: I should have I should have made this relationship or
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: I should have did this because the one thing I
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 4: started to adopt is is there's a fear of kind
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: of doing stuff and taking a risk. But I think
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: the feeling and the regret from not taking risks it's
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: something that I want to avoid more so than not
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: because I'm okay with taking a risk and trying and
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: failing at something, even if you know I fail, at
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: least I tried, you know what I mean. So through
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: that I've been looking at just different ways to always
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: give back, and you know, being that we've gotten to
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: this certain level, people look at us as an example,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: and so you want to do the right things, and
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: you want to help people, and you want to do
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: everything you can. And I've always been like I overanalyze things.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: It's like, man, I did this football camp, but this
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: kid's still going back to the same environ I didn't
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: really equip him with tools, Like he probably won't make
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 4: the NFL. So what did I do to really help
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: this kid other than meeting a professional athletes.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: As him just playing football for a day?
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like what And not to say that those are
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: bad things, like those are still good things, like he'll
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: probably remember that the rest of his life, but in
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: terms of being more sustainable and really giving people tangible resources.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: And so I've always looked at that.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: And as I started to look at my money and
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: what my money was doing, it wasn't always.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: Matched up with the philanthropy.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 4: It's like I'm doing the football camps, the back to
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: school drives, the Turkey giveaways, but my money's invested in
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: over here in the stock market, and I don't know
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: what that's doing, right. So I started to look into things.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: I watched this documentary called The Thirteenth Have you guys
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: seen that on Netflix. It's on Netflix out It's called thirteenth.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: You know, the thirteenth Amendment is what abolished slavery, but
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: there was this caveat in that in that bill where
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: it basically said that you could still enslave people for
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: criminal charges.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: Is this what you called me about that one time
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: when you were calling about exactly prisons?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what that What that thirteenth Amendment did was saying that,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: you know, if if you committed a crime, no matter
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: how petty it was, I could lock you up. So
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 4: right after slavery was abolished, all these black people were
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: getting locked up for petty offenses loitering, you know, smoking,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 4: like just just different little petty offenses, and I would
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: lock you up and I would get free labor.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: So it was essentially slavery at the end of the day.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: It was just that I criminalized you, and I made
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: you a criminal, and I was able to extract free
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: labor out of you.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: And so what you see now with the private prison
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: industry is it's the same thing.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: You know, we have the we have the world's largest
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: we have the world's largest prison population, and the ratio
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: and how that adds up stacks up to the rest
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: of the world's population.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: It's completely out of balance.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: And so when you look at the statistics around the
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: people that are in prison and for petty offenses and
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: all those things, it's a reason.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: Why that happens.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: When we talk about private prisons, they're incentivized to keep
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: people locked up. So if you come to me and
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: I'm a judge and I have some type of affiliation
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: with a private prison group like a geo group or
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: cour Civic that may be on I might might be
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: on their payroll.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: So if you come to me and you're a kid
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: and you kind of you.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: Know, as a judge, as the judge, I'll.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: Be more incentivized to lock you up because I know
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: that those cour Civic and those geo groups, they have
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 4: a certain quota to make. So if they're not, if
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: they're not imprisoning people at a certain rate, they're losing money.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: So they're incentivized to lock people up for petty things.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: And so what I didn't know when I found out
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: was that these companies are public companies that are traded
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: on the stock market.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: And if you're part of a.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: Fund, the ETF and whatnot, you could unknowingly be invested
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: in these companies and so what I started the wake
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: up was like, dang, like, let me call my financial advisor. Hey,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: am I am I in these companies? Now you're not okay?
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: But what is my money doing? And so I started
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: to kind of reallocate my private capital that was invested
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: into more impactful investments, so affordable housing developments, technology, training
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: for underserved communities, access to capital for minority entrepreneurs, all
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: these different things to try to break these cycles. And
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: so when you talk about philanthropy, I've kind of evolved
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: into like a holistic approach, so hitting a philanthropy to charity,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: but also you know, meaningful investments into these you know,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: communities to try to break these systemic cycles. And so
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: what I've done recently we formed an Opportunity Zone fund
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: to basically go into these same communities but do what
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: I've been doing at scale. You know, we're sitting right
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: now in an opportunities zone. I don't know if I
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: if I talk to you about.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: This, you mentioned it but as much details.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: So it's like, if you're an opportunity zone.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: Business and I invest in you, I can basically get
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: a tax free investment on any type of liquidation. So
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: if I have a capital gain and I reallocate that
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: capital to the opportunities on right, to the opportunity's own
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: business or development or whatnot, and if I hold that
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: investment for over ten years, it becomes tax free.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: So what you're seeing is a lot of these private institutions,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: family offices, they have a lot of capital gains. I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: mean some people estimated it being a six point one
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: trillion dollar market. So these when this money flows into
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 4: these communities, if it's not done the right way, then
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 4: what you're going to see is more gentrification, more displacement,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: less ownership from the community. So my whole thing is
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: making sure that doing I can do my part to
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: make sure the investment is done the right way, so
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: it's not just top down, Like the worst thing a
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: community can ever want is somebody coming in and telling
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: them and what they're supposed to do.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: I'm here to help you. I'm here to help you
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: solve your problems. I don't care what you say, this
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: is what we're going to do. And so that's where
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: it's like for me. I feel like when you go
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: into these communities, it has to be an inclusive approach.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 4: Because I can't come into your home and your community
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: and tell you what you need without having a conversation.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: With you first.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: And so what you're seeing is people reallocating their money
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: to these communities, but solely based on the financial return.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: So what we're doing with our fund.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 4: Is essentially having a double bottom line, so you have
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: a financial return, but you also have some type of social.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: Or environmental return as well.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: So we look at it as a very intentional investment
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 4: approach to revitalizing communities. And you know, we're looking at Nashville, Atlanta,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 4: Austin where my partner is, Coachville where I'm from. There's
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: opportunity zones in all these cities, and you know, we
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: have relationships within all.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: These markets, and you're just trying to be more intimate
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: with those areas other than letting the very top yes,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: just kind of side here's where all, here's what this
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: money is going to go to.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: So then it doesn't kind of.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: Separate exactly, because if you look around Nashville, it's like
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: how many cranes are in the sky bro.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: Like fifty Americas crane or megascrans are here? Are you serious?
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: Some percentage like that.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: That's high so like, but if you go drive around
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: North Nashville, like it's pushing out to North Nashville.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: But what you see are people like these sleazy developers.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: If I had if you're if you're a resident in
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 4: a home and I want to buy your home and
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: you won't sell it, they'll go tell Metro and report
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: codes on you and say, look, they're not in compliance,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: their their roof is messed up, or they're you're not
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: following this, so you can get evicted and I come
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: and snatch your home up so I can tear it
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 4: down and build a tall and skinny and have somebody
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: move in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot exactly. So that's
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: what you see is happening. These people are are not
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: you know, privy to what's going on, and they're getting
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: taken advantage of because they just don't have the financial literacy,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: the education understand it. And so that's what I'm trying
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: to prevent, you know, and play my role prevent from happening.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: And so yeah, I mean that's what I've been focused
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: on the last couple of months, and we're trying to
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 4: really do it the right way.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. You're a stud man, it's incredible.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's four three nothing? Maddie wanted to
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: talk a little ball back there. Well, it was a
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: recommend I apologize.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: Four to three is four defensive linemen and three linebacks.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: Over that transitioning from.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: A four three d N two three four outside back
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: here just me in my head. I was like, I already,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: we already know, like there's gonna be a lot of
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: topics that you'll be able to kind of.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: Go with with. Okay, are we at a time?
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've been wrapping if you want to
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: hit one.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: It was like the transition from a four three hit
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: the go ahead, hit that quick, bro.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: I thought I was about to get either traded or released.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: I called my agent at the time, and I was like, Hey,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: they just hired Kim wizend Hunt.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: He's a three four guy. Like, what's up? Am I
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: getting released?
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: No, they definitely see you as being a part of
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: their plans moving forward.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, this is the political answer. Yeah.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: Like, but I'm like, yo, this is my contract here.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: You just changed my position. And so I was like, okay,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 4: I had to either take it on an.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: Approach of naw, I'm not doing that or I had
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: to approach it with.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: Open mind, and that's what I did. And so I
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: think it's all about mindset, right, you know, it's all
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: about your approach and your mentality on certain situations. So
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: if you focus on the bad, that's all you're going
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: to see is bad. But if you focus on the
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: you know, the positive outlook, and you'll start to see
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: the opportunities in it. And that's exactly how I approached it.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: And so for me, I think it worked out because
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: you know, playing four three m that's a lot more
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: grinding and hitting three four outside linebacker.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: You're still in the in the trenches.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I might drop out for coverage every other
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 4: couple of plays and that kind of staves your body.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 4: So I took it on the approach of that. And
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: then when you have Dick with Bow coming in and
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: running that three.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: Four, that's unreal.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: I love that three before I could play that, you know,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: for ten years. And so you know, it's all about
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: the scheme fit. And I think that the scheme, the
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: three four scheme fit me and guys like Brian and
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: Rackbow skill set very well.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: Like we weren't dropping in the coverage every play. We
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: weren't at the.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: Nose taking on double teams and doing things that were
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: outside of our skill set, and so I think it's
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: all about the scheme and it definitely helped us.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I appreciate it. Boys. That was so understead Man.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: Thanks for coming on.
