  Speaker 1: Maybe I had a crush on Betty Rubble.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: to a commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: was black. He caught them the game last night. It
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: makes me say, I want to introduce Adam Feeling as
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: a former I have to get a wide receiver, but
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: you're a former NFL wlide receiver. Man. How does that feel?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's well, it feels fine other than there's no
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: paychecks coming in anymore so so like the bank account
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: is going the wrong way. But no, no, it feels good.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: It's been such a blessing. I've been around way too much.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: My kids are probably getting sick of me, but yeah,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: just being able to be all in the summer. Kids
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: are around, we're on the pool, we're in the lake.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: We're just having a good time and coaching their sports.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: So that's been busy. About two hours a day on
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the baseball field, consistently between the two boys and then
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: playing soccer with my daughter.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: So it's been full time dad mode this summer.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: If I told you you were undrafted, So if I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: told you when you will, you know, when you signed
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: your first contract you were going to play thirteen seasons
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to the NFL, you would have told me what I.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Mean, I would have been like, you're crazy.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Probably, I don't know, but like or store or maybe
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: at that point i'd have been like, oh, yeah, that's easy,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna play fifteen. I had a little bit of
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: a delusional mindset through my career of like how good
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I was or how good I could be, which I
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: think helped me kind of, like, you know, just be
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: able to kind of try to meet those high expectations
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: that have for myself, and to do that you got
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: to grind, and so I really put a high standard
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: on myself to make sure that when I was here
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: in Lake Tahoe for the American Centry Championship, I was
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: out here running routes on the lawn like every morning, crazy,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: and I was making sure that I didn't leave any
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: stone on turn because I wanted to be the best
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: of the best.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: When you're running routes out of wherever you're doing. It
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: was Mahomes throwing the ball to like who was throwing
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the balls with that?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Well, one year Trevor Lawrence through to me, But for
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the most part it was like Marty Fish through to me,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: one another buddy through to me, and then a lot
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: of it was just running routes, like I can catch
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: a football, right, I just need to make sure I'm
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: in shape and ready for the wear and tear of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: the ground and pound of the season. So mostly just
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: running routes, running fast, doing conditioning things like that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: When you have an undrafted tryout and you eventually make
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: the team, how difficult is it because they're they're investing
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: so many of their resources into the guys that are
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: getting drafted to where you're coming in undrafted and you
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: kind of have to realize that I'm not going to
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: get that many chances here.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: By the way, you're talking to a walk on wide
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: receiver at the University of North Carolina.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I'm a huge tar Heel fan.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I really love that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean since I was a little kid up,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: baby baby blue is.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: My favorite color.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: So I just like gravitated towards UNC and I'm a
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: big basketball guy. So UNC and basketball are so happy, right.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Check out, I'm not going there. I'm not going there.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I forgot the question.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know where I am now.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: That you got yes, yeah, so no, I mean it's
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: really crazy looking back at it, to be honest. Is
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: so when I I came to rookie camp, I didn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: have a contract, and at the time, they just had
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the draft. They just signed all these free agents, uh,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: one of them being a North Carolina wide receiver, I believe. Anyways,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: they they already have the roster, and so for me
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: to make it, they have to cut somebody that they
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: just gave a signing bonus to and then they have
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: to sign me. So like like you said, they already
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: put these times, this time to to see this guy
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and to research them and then give them money as well,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: right and then and then they have to give me
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: three days to be able to prove that I'm better
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: than to cut him.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: So right now I get more nervous.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Thinking about then in the moment, the moment, I was like,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I don't care, like I'm gonna beat him out, like
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I'm better than them. And so it worked out and
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: they end up cut a guy that they just gave
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: up ten thousand dollars to three days before that, basically
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: to come and practice for three days, and then they
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: signed me, which is pretty cool.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: We are at the American Century Championships here in Lake Tahoe,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and I was trying to explain to Taylor he's young, Okay,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: but I saw you on the driving way range with
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Jack Wagner. Can you explain to Taylor not who Jack
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Wagner is. I've done that, but just how important he
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: is to the proceedings here in Lake Tahoe.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I believe he's been at every one, yes, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: so not too many guys can say that night one y.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And he's the legend.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: And everyone loves Jack.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I mean I've played with him a few times in
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: like the I shouldn't even say this, but the older women,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: yeah love Jack Wadner.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: My wife was here a couple of years ago. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: only person she wanted to meet was Jack. Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, I mean he is an unbelievable guy. I love him.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: We've got a great relationship, played a ton of golf together.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: And he looks great. I mean you would never guess
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: how old he is, and he looks awesome. Yes, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: he's still doing it. I'm like, dude, can you retire.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: He's on like season fourteen of the show and he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: going to Vancouver for months to film, and I'm like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: come on, man, like time for you to just play
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: golf in or live.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: What makes this place so special? This tournament's so special.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: You guys love coming here, man.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: It's so good. I think it's just the atmosphere.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: You just it feels like a pro tour is man,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and we all think that we're pro golfers. We're farthest
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: from it you can possibly get. But when you come
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: out here and you got the ropes, you got the fans,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: you got the programs, and you got this big build up,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: you got the events, and then you get to seventeen
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: and you got the fandom.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So cool.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: There's just no better feeling, you.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Know, like Game day is great, but this is like, yes,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and this is all of our element right, Like this
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: is something that we don't do for a living. And
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: then you show up here and you want to compete,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: You want to win every you think you can win.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: And I bet there's sixty to seventy guys who think
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: they're gonna win this thing. Even though a lot of
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: them don't have a chance, including myself.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Well, yes you do.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: That's that, and so you think you're gonna win it
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: until you get to the first t box and you
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: duck hook it in the woods, and then it's like.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Oh well.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Billis was telling us a couple of weeks ago, I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: don't know what it's like to play at Augusta, but
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: for a weekend, I feel like I'm a PGA Tour
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: player playing at Augusta. He also said that if he
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: was not invited back to this event, his wife would
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: leave him and marry someone else who was invited to
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: this event.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: That's a great point.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I went all the way up till about three or
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: four weeks ago until I got the invite right, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: so my wife had the divorce papers ready, Like she
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: was like, you are now not cool enough to go
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to the town.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: It's my favorite week of the year. So what do
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I do? Now?
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: Do you feel more pressure this year since you are
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: retired Now, like a lot of these NFL guys, they
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: have training camp in the back of your mind, You've
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: had a lot of free time to kind of prepare
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: for this event.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, definitely, I definitely put more pressure myself going
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: this year. I put more time into it. So I'm like,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: if I don't play better, like I just wasted a
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: lot of time and money. So but no, it's it's again.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: It's such a blessing to be out here. I mean
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: even just sitting right here, I'm like, as I'm talking
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to guys, I'm like, man, I need.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: To hit some golf balls.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Just a it's just an event that just gets those
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: competitive juices out. And like you see these other guys

  Speaker 4: Is that true?
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: I guess they didn't have to worry about capacity.

  Speaker 2: Yes, And Jason Kelsey still hanging out there until he
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: comes here, right.

  Speaker 3: talking about, but sometimes I feel like I do, and
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and I love to see the you know, the positives
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: that come from it, even just from an attitude. Like
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: for me, like I coach mostly and there's some technique
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: stuff and all that that I feel like I can
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: help with. But most of what I coach is like
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: attitude and effort, which I don't feel is very hard,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: but for nine year olds, for some reason, it's really
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: hard to do. And so my son is the number
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: one kid like he he is very emotional and he
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: and he is a perfectionist and he doesn't want to fail,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: and so just learning how to fail, which I think
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: is why sports are so awesome, because it forces you
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: to learn how to fail. You're going to fail no
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: matter who you are, You're going to fail in sports,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: and guess what life, You're gonna fail.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: Do you feel like coaching puts a target on your
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: kid's team? Because if I was a washed up athlete
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: across from you on the sideline and I saw Adam
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: Thielen was coaching the other team, it becomes by super Bowl.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: No, definitely, yeah, got beat team.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: People want to win for that reason, yes, And they
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: want to show how much better their kid is than
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: my kids. And so my son ends up getting a lot,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: uh you know, like the best efforts of the other
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: other players, which is great for him.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: So I'm all about it. I'm fine with that.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I'm competitive, so I want to win too, But I
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: just love the development. I love his kids just learning
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: how to handle, like I said, adversity and challenges, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: also just the glory of like they win a game
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: in the last inning and and they dog pile of
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: each other, Like we coached the seven on seven tournament
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: and like we got down to that my son caught
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: a ball over the middle and gets down on the
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: on the one inch yard line. We had three downs
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: to win the game, and we didn't do it. But
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: it was like so fun for them to feel that
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: energy and excitement, Like you can't teach that stuff, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: like that's how you fall in love with the game
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: when they get a feeling of that, and then it's like, oh,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I want this and I want to practice more so
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: that when I'm in those moments, I can I can
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: do it. So it's it's it's so fun.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You tell those parents, by the way, they could be
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: coaching if they wanted to tell them to put the
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: time and stop deplating to you. You know.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Thankfully, thankfully no one's complained to me, but they complain
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to the other coaches, right, and they tell us how
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: bad we are at coaching, which it is what it is.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I'll get you out of here in a second. Could
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: you see coaching in your future? Is that something that
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: you would consider?
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not not at a high level, but for sure.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I love I love it, you know, the
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: higher the level my kids go, it's just fun to
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: be around it. And again, like I feel like, I've
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I played four sports throughout high school, so I feel
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: like I have a lot of abroad understanding of different
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: sports and just the competitive edge and and mindset and
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: practice and and how that relates the game. So I
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: feel like there's a lot of knowledge that I love.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I would love to continue to share.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Stu, I got a THEO and Adam is gonna win
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: this tour.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: He's never heard that workshop man.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: For three years, I've been thinking that joke around that
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: felt forced.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I've always told you, Now, I don't I have no
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: idea what you're gonna do. Maybe it's go jing, but
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I've always thot you're great at this at media. Is
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that something you want to do?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, one hundred percent. I'm actually starting a podcast here.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm going to dabble in that and then
• 15:43

• 15:46
  Speaker 3: dabble into, you know, just doing some shows and whatever.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it's gonna look like, but yeah,
• 15:51

• 15:59
  Speaker 3: But you'll be tired.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: To talking for like an hour and a half and
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: you don't have to hear from you that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: We'll get it all out. It'd be a good thing
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: for everyone.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: But I did a little NFL radio, uh you know, yesterday,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: and uh we'll do some of that this fall.

• 16:31

  Speaker 4: I'm in the right spot.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I think you're not going to be excited.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: You need to learn how to play football, and this
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: is this is right where I need to be.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Last question, what do you think you'll miss most about football?
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Just game days?
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: That's it, right, Yeah, the locker room obviously, that's what
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: everyone says. And the relationships, whether that's your teammates or
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the coaches or the staff. Like, man, like, what a
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: blessing to just build so many cool, strong relationships over
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: my thirteen years. And there just people that I respect
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: so much that don't get a lot of glory or
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: they don't get you know, the recognition, but they're just
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: great people and work hard all for this goal to
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: win a championship that they're not even they are a
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: part of, but they're not on the field, right, and
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: so that part. But yeah, game days, you show up
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: to that stadium, you come on the field to warm up,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: like there is no greater feeling like the end of
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: my career when I could just like walk on the
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: field and be like this is amazing, like and I
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: just like soak it all in, like do my warm
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: up routine, like felt so good and like didn't care
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: what happened because it was just so fun to be
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: a part of.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Uh. Definitely what miss out.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: You should start your podcast with the anthem with you
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: walking in through the tuttle every day, just to kind
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: of get that feeling back, you know. See, That's what
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. Man, there we go.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna like put a I'm gonna have like a
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: button as I walk down the stairs in my studio
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: and it's gonna just start playing the national anthem as
• 17:59

  Speaker 4: That's I don't think that's possible.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about? It is possible.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I think I got a shot at like the Ring
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: of Honor or something like that.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: But I take it too far.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, too far, too far.

  Speaker 2: There's nothing better than it, not even game days. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: don't think.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I think this is better than game It is because

  Speaker 3: I'm not getting I know, I'm not going to get injured.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Well there's I guess you could, yes, but I'm less

• 19:16
  Speaker 2: By the way, how many times his fish played the course.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's like Rory at Augusta. Man, he

  Speaker 3: Keep telling him that getting his head a little bit,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: like you played this way too much.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: It's not fair.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell him. He's such a heavy favorite.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: There's no way anyone's gonna be a feeling you're gonna
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: win it this year. We put flyers on you, no pressure.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just need to grind a little.
