- 1:18Speaker 4: built on didn't come from names. It came from two
- 1:22Speaker 4: boys hanging out, getting on a mic and having a
- 1:25Speaker 4: small little dream behind a warehouse while we're stealing power
- 1:28Speaker 4: from an RV company. One thing we never steal from
- 1:32Speaker 4: the Chevy, the.
- 1:33Speaker 5: Chevy Silverado filled with grit determination. This is a Chevy
- 1:37Speaker 5: Truck podcast. The greatest trucks ever built, and our good
- 1:40Speaker 5: friends that Chevrolet have been a big part of the
- 1:42Speaker 5: bus and family and even our own personal lives. You
- 1:45Speaker 5: guys know your boy rocks as you are to the
- 1:46Speaker 5: Chevy Silverado, longtime partner, a truck with commanding and unstoppable grit,
- 1:51Speaker 5: like I already said, legendary capability and dependability as well.

- 2:00Speaker 5: it yourself projects, to road trips, off road adventures, tailgates,
- 2:03Speaker 5: whatever your thing is, it all starts with a Chevy truck. Obviously,
- 2:09Speaker 5: we got to talk about the first things.
- 2:11Speaker 4: First, we'll talk about the weekend. Yeah, talk about the weekend.
- 2:13Speaker 5: I think we got to talk about the beer games.
- 2:14Speaker 5: We talk about the beer games. We gotta let everybody know.
- 2:17Speaker 5: We got to keep everybody in the know. The Beer Games.
- 2:20Speaker 5: Championships of the World from us with the Boys is
- 2:22Speaker 5: still happening, Yes, it is still happening. June twenty has
- 2:26Speaker 5: Hesitant to say the number because I've had some mess
- 2:28Speaker 5: ups in my.
- 2:28Speaker 4: June twenty fourth and twenty fifth. The competition itself will
- 2:31Speaker 4: take place June twenty fifth.
- 2:33Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, the boys are moving forward with it.
- 2:36Speaker 5: We just got to call this morning the barstool, the crew.
- 2:39Speaker 5: They're removing production support and support and resources for the
- 2:42Speaker 5: boys for the beer games. Uh, but we hate onward
- 2:45Speaker 5: and upward we deal with we We've been dealing with
- 2:49Speaker 5: bad beats all year long, all your long.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four has been us in the corner of
- 2:54Speaker 4: the ring, taking some body shops. We put our gloves
- 2:56Speaker 4: down a little bit with each a couple in the chin.
- 2:57Speaker 4: But guess what we're doing. Yeah, we're still fucking standing. Yes,
- 3:00Speaker 4: wherever it takes.
- 3:01Speaker 5: The Boys were still doing the Beer Game Championships of
- 3:03Speaker 5: the World. And I'm still stoked.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:08Speaker 5: I say that so hesitantly, like I'm still fired up.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Because what we started with at the beginning of this
- 3:12Speaker 4: podcast is this. It's not about money, it's not about
- 3:17Speaker 4: having cameras in our face. Twenty four to seven. This brand, sometimes,
- 3:21Speaker 4: this brand has been built on the boys hanging out,
- 3:24Speaker 4: getting after it, and having a place where everybody can
- 3:26Speaker 4: come to turn off the stress from business or work
- 3:30Speaker 4: or family, kids, uncles, nieces, nephews, sickness, is all those things.
- 3:35Speaker 4: You come hang out with us because we're having a
- 3:38Speaker 4: good time. And no matter what, one of the core
- 3:40Speaker 4: values of us with the boys is going to be
- 3:43Speaker 4: have a good time. So Beer Games Championship of the
- 3:45Speaker 4: World is what we thought it was going to be.
- 3:47Speaker 4: In February of this year, we shot for the stars.
- 3:50Speaker 4: We shot and you know what, for a moment, the
- 3:52Speaker 4: stars laying in the moon something like that, for a
- 3:54Speaker 4: moment we almost touched those stars. Because we had commit
- 3:58Speaker 4: after commitity, had guys come in and said we're down
- 4:01Speaker 4: to do this. We had truly Beer Olympics, Beer Game
- 4:06Speaker 4: Shampions of the World locked up. March tenth. March tenth
- 4:11Speaker 4: the most planning we've ever done in our lives. In
- 4:13Speaker 4: our lives and I've been I'm married, yeah, and even
- 4:16Speaker 4: for my wedding, I didn't plan this much. I kind
- 4:18Speaker 4: of just was told where to go, showed up, had
- 4:21Speaker 4: a couple couple of twisted teas and ripped it, ripped
- 4:24Speaker 4: it and so listen, is this what we thought it
- 4:27Speaker 4: was going to be? No, but you have two choices. Boys,
- 4:31Speaker 4: when you're backed into a corner, you could sit there
- 4:34Speaker 4: and pout, moan, cry, take a nap, lay in your bed,
- 4:38Speaker 4: not going to get out, or a bunch of ice
- 4:41Speaker 4: cream and put it on your tommy and eat it
- 4:42Speaker 4: until your stomach hurts more than your heart. You could
- 4:45Speaker 4: do that, or you could stand the fuck up understand
- 4:49Speaker 4: that at the end of the day, it's about the
- 4:51Speaker 4: boys doing what the boys want and having a good
- 4:53Speaker 4: time and bringing smiles and laughs to the viewer who
- 4:56Speaker 4: chooses to sit with us every single week with our
- 4:59Speaker 4: content and constantly throw punches and waiting knowing you're gonna
- 5:04Speaker 4: get that knockout shot soon. All you have to do
- 5:06Speaker 4: is stay up, keep your cardio going, and keep throwing
- 5:10Speaker 4: those boats.
- 5:10Speaker 5: Pick up a beer and start chugging.
- 5:12Speaker 4: That's all you gotta deal. Oh, you're sad because Travis
- 5:15Speaker 4: Kelce dipped good. Pick up a beer and start chugging.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Bert Chrysler said he's hard in and Las Vegas, Nevada
- 5:23Speaker 4: at the Aria during his event that he asks to
- 5:25Speaker 4: go to and now he's out good.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Pick up a beer and start chugging. This thing is
- 5:30Speaker 5: about the boys. It's about the.
- 5:32Speaker 4: Like five more times I was gonna do.
- 5:34Speaker 5: Them all well, I would have gotten a little like you.
- 5:38Speaker 5: You started rattling off all the details of burn. I
- 5:40Speaker 5: was like, oh, no, Bert's gonna just feel sad for
- 5:42Speaker 5: himself once again. And because that Burton does feel bad
- 5:44Speaker 5: at the day, every individual person who has backed out,
- 5:47Speaker 5: they have had their reasonings for it. And I think
- 5:49Speaker 5: I was telling you this earlier because it's like frustrating, right,
- 5:52Speaker 5: But I think what makes me so mad about it
- 5:54Speaker 5: all is I know that I've been that guy before,
- 5:57Speaker 5: and it's like now that I have some we have
- 6:00Speaker 5: more experience working with the athletes, the celebs of the world,
- 6:03Speaker 5: and knowing how fickle we can be. I just think
- 6:05Speaker 5: back at all the times that I've fucking done that
- 6:07Speaker 5: to my boys or to my friends, and I hate
- 6:09Speaker 5: myself for it because I know how much this is
- 6:12Speaker 5: has affected us when trying to put on this awesome
- 6:15Speaker 5: event that we were just trying to build on from
- 6:17Speaker 5: you had the first year was just the old line
- 6:19Speaker 5: and they just want to have a beer Olympics. To
- 6:20Speaker 5: last year we had an amazing one and it was like,
- 6:23Speaker 5: you know, more people want to do this, How do
- 6:24Speaker 5: we make this bigger and better. We go out to Vegas.
- 6:26Speaker 5: We try to pour in a bunch of productions, and
- 6:28Speaker 5: we built it around some of the key teams that
- 6:31Speaker 5: we had already we've already mentioned and unfortunately they've dropped out.
- 6:35Speaker 5: We want to do a series about this. We want
- 6:38Speaker 5: to do a lot of different things. Jelly Roll was
- 6:40Speaker 5: on the fence last week. It was you know, we've
- 6:44Speaker 5: had a lot of different things. A barstool, our production,
- 6:47Speaker 5: the productions port gets there. But it's like, it doesn't
- 6:50Speaker 5: matter if it gets all the way to us in
- 6:53Speaker 5: your basement or the backyard, and we just have some
- 6:55Speaker 5: cameras again, like we're gonna push forward. We're gonna lean
- 6:58Speaker 5: into the storm, and we're fucking rowing the beer games,
- 7:01Speaker 5: Championships of the world. Yeah, no matter how we get
- 7:04Speaker 5: it done, are you boys ready, it doesn't matter. Hey,
- 7:08Speaker 5: we might have just our iPhone cameras, boys, and we'll
- 7:10Speaker 5: edit this shit together. Pick up a beer and start chugging.
- 7:14Speaker 6: That's all you're gonna do.
- 7:15Speaker 5: Pick up a beer and start chugging.
- 7:16Speaker 4: So yeah, is it as good as it can be? No?
- 7:19Speaker 4: Does it mean that it's over? Never?
- 7:21Speaker 5: That's never. That's right.
- 7:22Speaker 4: We're gonna keep fighting, boys, we're we're stoked that you
- 7:24Speaker 4: guys are gonna be a part of it as much
- 7:26Speaker 4: as you are. Hell, some of you fans might get
- 7:28Speaker 4: a call yeah ms from fans and they want to

- 7:39Speaker 5: we've drunk with since high school.
- 7:40Speaker 4: In college, Cody January called my high school boys. But
- 7:45Speaker 4: you guys want to make a trun make a trip.
- 7:47Speaker 5: They're already coming. You know what should we do? This
- 7:50Speaker 5: a free This is a free once. This is an
- 7:54Speaker 5: opportunity for the part of my take guys because they
- 7:56Speaker 5: don't want to back out on us because they love us.
- 7:58Speaker 5: There are boys to our friends. They don't want to go,
- 8:01Speaker 5: but they're gonna go because they feel like they have
- 8:03Speaker 5: to back the boys. I think we give them an
- 8:05Speaker 5: out right now. We want you guys to go big
- 8:09Speaker 5: cat pft. That whole crew is going out there. We
- 8:11Speaker 5: want pardon my take to go, but we want you
- 8:14Speaker 5: guys to want to go. If you don't want to go. Seriously,
- 8:17Speaker 5: this is a this is I think we're being genuine
- 8:19Speaker 5: about this Hey, if you guys don't want to go,
- 8:22Speaker 5: please don't go, just because we want people who want
- 8:25Speaker 5: to be there. That's what makes the content good and
- 8:28Speaker 5: we just want to It's what we want to throw
- 8:30Speaker 5: back day with the boys. And if you guys don't

- 8:56Speaker 4: that stuff. It is what it is. What do you
- 8:58Speaker 4: do with adversity strikes? Yeah, that's how we're posting this thing.

- 9:21Speaker 5: a good that's a good proposal because I want the
- 9:24Speaker 5: boys to be happy. I don't want any built I
- 9:25Speaker 5: don't want anything built up a stressful enough business, right
- 9:29Speaker 5: as frustrating of things if we've done in the past,
- 9:31Speaker 5: it's like there will be zero animosity about this because you.
- 9:34Speaker 4: Really don't in that world. We don't have a leg
- 9:36Speaker 4: to stand. Yeah, it is just kind of what it is.
- 9:38Speaker 4: You just we've made a couple of mistakes and now
- 9:40Speaker 4: we're saying, listen, we see where this is gone in
- 9:43Speaker 4: people's eyes. We're still gonna do it and have a
- 9:45Speaker 4: great time. If you don't want to be a part
- 9:46Speaker 4: of it, that's totally fine, right right, that is totally fine,
- 9:49Speaker 4: No harm, no foul, just the core fundamentals of being
- 9:51Speaker 4: for the run the ball. We're just getting back to running,
- 9:54Speaker 4: pass and manageable. That's what you want. Yeah, we want
- 9:58Speaker 4: to win this game twelve the I don't want to
- 10:01Speaker 4: touchdown score. I just want a bunch of threes and
- 10:04Speaker 4: hard hitting defense. Old man, Yes, when you me, big
- 10:06Speaker 4: Cat were sitting there watching the Bears last season, and
- 10:09Speaker 4: you guys talked about how defense like literally made you
- 10:11Speaker 4: go through puberty as a kid. That's what Beer Olympics
- 10:14Speaker 4: is gonna be.
- 10:15Speaker 5: Yeah, and the quote, great, Gary Vee, you want to
- 10:19Speaker 5: fucking win in life, fall in love with losing because
- 10:21Speaker 5: most people are scared of it. We're taking these We'll
- 10:24Speaker 5: swing for the fucking fances doubt and we're gonna miss.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Yes, because there's a thousand people out there, I would
- 10:30Speaker 4: say the majority would probably say not worth doing. Hey,
- 10:33Speaker 4: give up, yep, it's done. No, because at the end
- 10:37Speaker 4: of the day, we're here to have a good fucking time.
- 10:41Speaker 5: We're here to have a good time.
- 10:44Speaker 4: So I had that's not how the line goes. Listen,
- 10:48Speaker 4: I feel a whole lot better talking about it. Yeah,
- 10:50Speaker 4: I do too.
- 10:51Speaker 5: It's it sucked the last uh what five hours?
- 10:57Speaker 4: This is the last seventy two hours. I mean, it's
- 10:59Speaker 4: been a bit of a blood bath on the bird and.
- 11:01Speaker 5: Well, yeah, the bird stuff was a little more fun
- 11:03Speaker 5: than Yeah. You know, as of right now, it's still on.
- 11:05Speaker 4: Don't do that. We've already had that conversation. It's still
- 11:08Speaker 4: on as of right now.
- 11:09Speaker 5: The beer is.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Right now as of right now, we are one hundred
- 11:16Speaker 4: percent all in. Yeah, but when you understand when you
- 11:18Speaker 4: do the as of right now, it doesn't feel one
- 11:20Speaker 4: hundred percent. Just say the Beer Olympics is one hundred
- 11:23Speaker 4: percent on. The Beer Olympics is one hundred percent on
- 11:27Speaker 4: as of right now. That is that's not what you do.
- 11:32Speaker 4: That'll be a fun.
- 11:33Speaker 5: Clip for the internet.
- 11:35Speaker 4: It'd be like all the boys are still confused about
- 11:37Speaker 4: the clip thing. Let me tell you something about the
- 11:39Speaker 4: clip thing. When you say that's a good clip, we're
- 11:42Speaker 4: both thinking that's a good clip. I'm sure everybody but
- 11:45Speaker 4: Mitch resonated with them. That'll be the clip we're gonna
- 11:47Speaker 4: do right there, even don't you like, like, let.
- 11:50Speaker 5: The let the tier ones know just like that's gonna
- 11:52Speaker 5: be a fun clip down fine with you.
- 11:54Speaker 4: Yeah, but they'll know when they see the clip that's
- 11:55Speaker 4: a fun clip.
- 11:56Speaker 5: Yeah, Well they'll know even more if anybody gets a
- 11:58Speaker 5: little confused, because there's people like you don't know who
- 12:01Speaker 5: to believe anymore.
- 12:03Speaker 4: He was a joke man, like a joke peel bag.
- 12:06Speaker 5: You can't take real serious because who knows what's serious anymore?
- 12:09Speaker 5: The tier ones who follow it all the time yes,
- 12:11Speaker 5: they are involved, but you love getting some context. Sometimes
- 12:14Speaker 5: your context comes from listening to Bust with the Boys.
- 12:16Speaker 5: That's why you should be subscribed and rating five stars.
- 12:19Speaker 4: Uh. By the way, Sherman and I we got to
- 12:21Speaker 4: have Sherm's first week. He got to make a nice
- 12:25Speaker 4: splash on the scene as a busting employee with this.
- 12:29Speaker 4: He got fired. Yeah you're on your way out.
- 12:33Speaker 5: Well yeah, hey, that was a good troll by you,
- 12:36Speaker 5: A good opportunity taken.
- 12:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:39Speaker 6: I mean I've lobbed it to you a couple of times.
- 12:42Speaker 4: I know it.
- 12:43Speaker 5: Sometimes I see your trolls and I'm like, look, sure,
- 12:45Speaker 5: I'm not gonna play into this. I'm not gonna talk
- 12:47Speaker 5: about how I'm going to paralyze some father for his
- 12:50Speaker 5: daughter running two miles like meeting me in the A
- 12:52Speaker 5: gap all the time. Uh, but yeah, you had a
- 12:55Speaker 5: great troll. I think I talked about laundry Day, which
- 12:57Speaker 5: I did, by the way, and it's set up for
- 13:01Speaker 5: me to look like just an insane boss figure to
- 13:05Speaker 5: you by telling you to stay in your lane. And
- 13:07Speaker 5: people were outraged way more than I thought. People just
- 13:10Speaker 5: understood that we're always usually having a good time on
- 13:13Speaker 5: the internet, but No. People had some comments like, oh,
- 13:15Speaker 5: this is the Dave Portanoy fact. This is management trickling down.
- 13:18Speaker 5: Everything's falling apart. Will's finally losing it. He's imploding. He's
- 13:22Speaker 5: shitting on his employees who haven't even.
- 13:24Speaker 4: Been there for a day. You might have to stay
- 13:25Speaker 4: it from the comments. Do what you might have to
- 13:27Speaker 4: stay it from the comments.
- 13:28Speaker 5: You got to you gotta keep up so you know
- 13:30Speaker 5: what the next move is. That's that's what led me
- 13:32Speaker 5: to do the link with the soft helmet, Like, go
- 13:35Speaker 5: hit this link to apply. We're letting go. We're letting
- 13:38Speaker 5: him go as immediately we're looking for somebody new. Hit
- 13:41Speaker 5: this link. The link goes to a soft helmet that
- 13:43Speaker 5: you can purchase.
- 13:45Speaker 4: Well.
- 13:45Speaker 6: The best part too, I'm so new that family members
- 13:48Speaker 6: were legitimately texting me and we're like, what's going on?
- 13:52Speaker 6: Is anything okay?
- 13:54Speaker 4: I had a couple guys be like, hey, did he
- 13:56Speaker 4: really ask that to you? It's like, I mean, it's
- 13:59Speaker 4: all a joke.
- 14:00Speaker 6: Tell him about my text the night before.
- 14:04Speaker 4: Let's read it. Not gonna lie. I got me that.
- 14:11Speaker 6: Oh yeah it was when I texted you.
- 14:15Speaker 4: And you thought was serious. I mean, there's a lot
- 14:20Speaker 4: going on. Oh yeah, that had been I would have
- 14:23Speaker 4: I would have legitimately had to call Will what do
- 14:24Speaker 4: you do? You are right? I would have gone to
- 14:26Speaker 4: his house to be truly fired. Shirm for that.
- 14:29Speaker 5: We've been texting a little bit. Shirm.
- 14:30Speaker 4: Yeah, remind me.

- 15:12Speaker 4: getting people here too, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah I remember her. Yeah.
- 15:17Speaker 4: When you said that name, I thought it was a
- 15:19Speaker 4: porn star. Mhm right, No, that's fair. I mean that's
- 15:26Speaker 4: it's not like, yeah, you're not sitting here expected to
- 15:30Speaker 4: know about like the w n B a and yeah,
- 15:33Speaker 4: women's basketball for sure. For sure, it is the hot
- 15:36Speaker 4: new thing that the which is wild that Kaitlyn Clark's
- 15:39Speaker 4: not a part of the Olympics. I didn't know that
- 15:41Speaker 4: there was a It's ridiculous. R G three actually had
- 15:44Speaker 4: a good tweet about that, how it's like how much
- 15:48Speaker 4: it helps women's basketball in the Olympics, And the only
- 15:51Speaker 4: person it hurts by going to the Olympics, by Kitlyn
- 15:53Speaker 4: Clark going the Olympics is Kaitlyn Clark because he's not
- 15:57Speaker 4: with their team and all that.
- 15:58Speaker 5: Right, which is in the only person, the only thing,
- 16:01Speaker 5: the only benefit you get out of it for not
- 16:03Speaker 5: having it. The one person who is benefiting is Kaitlyn
- 16:05Speaker 5: because everybody's being as loud as they are about it.
- 16:08Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that is wild. She is really taking that
- 16:11Speaker 4: sport by storm.
- 16:12Speaker 5: She really is, man. I mean, it's like I follow
- 16:15Speaker 5: it just because it's I only follow it on the
- 16:18Speaker 5: timeline because it's so talked about. It's not like I'm
- 16:21Speaker 5: watching the games or anything. Yes, it kind of makes
- 16:23Speaker 5: me want to watch the games because of how outraged
- 16:26Speaker 5: people seem to be about uh you all the.
- 16:30Speaker 4: Uh what are we looking at?
- 16:32Speaker 5: They welcome monster yeah, you right, right, Well, but I
- 16:36Speaker 5: guess the way everybody's been towards Caitlyn Clark, like the
- 16:39Speaker 5: way she's getting fouled, her not getting invited the Olympics,
- 16:42Speaker 5: like it's it's I mean, it is a conversation and
- 16:45Speaker 5: shout out women's basketball getting that type of media hype
- 16:47Speaker 5: because this is kind of.
- 16:48Speaker 4: What you need.
- 16:50Speaker 5: You need controversial like racial topics that get talked about,
- 16:55Speaker 5: like hating on somebody, the rivalries between herself and Angel
- 16:58Speaker 5: Reese and whoever the gall is that she fouled and
- 17:00Speaker 5: was like, I'm not commenting on Kaitlyn Clark, like you
- 17:03Speaker 5: like I again, I do not consume the sport, but
- 17:05Speaker 5: it's like, as a viewer, it makes me more inclined
- 17:08Speaker 5: because it's entertaining. It's like that WWE storyline writing. It's
- 17:12Speaker 5: just like why is this such a big deal? And
- 17:14Speaker 5: then you kind of get intrigued, like, oh, apparently this
- 17:16Speaker 5: is Kaitlyn Clark girl, or the w w NBA. This
- 17:19Speaker 5: is happening, right, let's see how they do. Or it's
- 17:21Speaker 5: like people who want to see the w NBA are
- 17:23Speaker 5: the Olympics team fail now because they didn't get kay
- 17:25Speaker 5: and Clark Because I'm sure there are those people out there.
- 17:27Speaker 5: They're gonna be wanting to kind of tune in. Let's
- 17:29Speaker 5: see how they do without Kaitlyn Clark, and it's gonna
- 17:31Speaker 5: be like that, this is your first time watching women's basketball.
- 17:33Speaker 5: Why do you care so much?
- 17:34Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean, like drill perfect storm
- 17:38Speaker 4: because it is all over my timeliney to go on. Yeah,
- 17:41Speaker 4: I'm not seeking it out. It's literally just there to consume. Yeah,
- 17:44Speaker 4: it's solid good stuff. Man.
- 17:46Speaker 5: Should we do? Uh, what do we have before our shotow?
- 17:48Speaker 4: No for Shore?
- 17:49Speaker 5: Oh the boy d Wall he retired over the weekend.
- 17:52Speaker 5: He was kind of guy, Yeah, that's my boy. He
- 17:55Speaker 5: was kind of alluding to the fact that I think
- 17:57Speaker 5: the Giants were anticipating him retiring and they're gonna get
- 18:00Speaker 5: a decision before Mini camp, which they did. It's definitely
- 18:03Speaker 5: like it's like, you know, you sit back, you see
- 18:05Speaker 5: football players, You're like, yo, that's one of the best
- 18:06Speaker 5: tight ends. Why are you retiring? Like, yeah, you got
- 18:09Speaker 5: injured a little bit last year, but I'm sure you're
- 18:10Speaker 5: feeling fresh. We only think about the athlete, like why
- 18:13Speaker 5: aren't you out to performing? But he seemed like he's
- 18:15Speaker 5: found a passion for music, and it seems like his
- 18:20Speaker 5: his his fire is just not there to play anymore,
- 18:22Speaker 5: which is like, I mean, you know how it is,
- 18:23Speaker 5: once you get on the other side of wanting to
- 18:25Speaker 5: go twenty four to seven be about the fucking football life.
- 18:30Speaker 5: You have to be all in when you're doing it.
- 18:32Speaker 5: If that's taking from you and you have something else
- 18:33Speaker 5: that you're into and want to do, it's like you
- 18:35Speaker 5: don't need to fucking continue to do it just because
- 18:37Speaker 5: what makes a shitload more money. He's made a lot
- 18:40Speaker 5: of money.
- 18:40Speaker 4: Yeah, And from his side too, it's like what else
- 18:42Speaker 4: does he have to prove? Right, Like he had all
- 18:44Speaker 4: the adversity did early in his career, had to go
- 18:46Speaker 4: in and out of rehabs, all that type of stuff,
- 18:48Speaker 4: and then comes out the other side becomes a top
- 18:50Speaker 4: three tight end in the league right right, it's paid
- 18:53Speaker 4: all over the place. Truly rewrites his story from a
- 18:56Speaker 4: rock bottom situation and has now founding. He said, found
- 18:59Speaker 4: a passion in music, able to kind of go that
- 19:01Speaker 4: just be on the other side. But as a fan
- 19:03Speaker 4: viewing it, you're like, broquant stay forever.
- 19:04Speaker 5: Yeah, why oh you're gonna go do this?
- 19:06Speaker 4: Because the crazy thing is once you're actually out, you're like, man,
- 19:09Speaker 4: I was stressed about shit that I had no business
- 19:12Speaker 4: being stressed about, right, And it's just it's crazy how
- 19:15Speaker 4: you were able to zoom out and all that.
- 19:16Speaker 5: And he gave a good perspective in his video too.
- 19:19Speaker 5: He's like from where I was at, like he could
- 19:21Speaker 5: have died, should have died right he was found in
- 19:23Speaker 5: his car, and he's like the fact that the NFL
- 19:26Speaker 5: Baltimore still took a shot on me, The Raiders took
- 19:29Speaker 5: a shot on me, giants have taken a shot on me.
- 19:31Speaker 5: Like the fact that I've kind of came out through
- 19:33Speaker 5: all that, it's given me so much. So he seems
- 19:35Speaker 5: to have like a good perspective. I just hope the
- 19:36Speaker 5: boy feels good about his decision. And it's like, enjoy
- 19:40Speaker 5: the other side, bro, because there's a lot, there's a lot,
- 19:42Speaker 5: there's a lot of green grass on the other side.
- 19:45Speaker 5: Like once you fully you know, remove the identity of
- 19:48Speaker 5: like wanting to be an NFL player, because we all
- 19:50Speaker 5: have that forever.
- 19:51Speaker 4: As long as he feels fulfilled what sounds like he
- 19:53Speaker 4: did in that little video he made. But it's like, yeah, dude,
- 19:58Speaker 4: if you're completely happy with the way things went, and
- 20:01Speaker 4: you're able to be like, I'm good turning this chapter.
- 20:03Speaker 4: If you can check those boxes, the next phase of
- 20:06Speaker 4: life is awesome. Yeah, it's all time.

- 24:48Speaker 4: Yeah it is right, Yeah, it's this Sunday. Oh we
- 24:51Speaker 4: got that pot on Sunday.
- 24:53Speaker 5: Yeah, as of right now, yeah, as that actually does
- 24:59Speaker 5: play right now with your yeahs right now, I'm fully
- 25:02Speaker 5: on board with that. Or Friday right now that afternoon.
- 25:09Speaker 4: Yeah, if they both happen, that'd be solid. Yeah yeah,
- 25:13Speaker 4: as of right now that they're still happening, yep, yeah
- 25:15Speaker 4: uh yeah. Father's Day guys, have a good one. Yeah,
- 25:17Speaker 4: how do you? There's kind of two ways ago about
- 25:20Speaker 4: Father's Day. You basically fuck off for the entire day,
- 25:22Speaker 4: I know, and you're like, listen, I'm gonna take a
- 25:24Speaker 4: day all to myself. I'm gonna get better at NCA
- 25:26Speaker 4: fourteen and get ready for the game to come out.
- 25:29Speaker 4: Or you no, let's go to the zoo, let me
- 25:32Speaker 4: take the kids. I feel like it's like too dramatic things.
- 25:34Speaker 5: So I think this is what this is what my
- 25:36Speaker 5: approach are gonna be. I thought about this a little
- 25:37Speaker 5: bit right on Sunday, be ready for Father's Day, like hey,
- 25:42Speaker 5: let's do the family stuff, like let's be together. But
- 25:44Speaker 5: I want my treat to be when College Football twenty
- 25:47Speaker 5: five comes out. I need a full day of just
- 25:50Speaker 5: immersing myself and in the video game.
- 25:52Speaker 4: Oh, you're trying to roll back. I'm trying to roll
- 25:54Speaker 4: it back. Yeah, you want to roll by buying in
- 25:56Speaker 4: heavy You're taking it out now, yeah, and you're gonna
- 25:59Speaker 4: roll it back?
- 25:59Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's the move I'm
- 26:01Speaker 5: gonna try to.
- 26:02Speaker 4: Go comes out in five weeks. Yeah, yeah, that's a
- 26:04Speaker 4: long wait for a rollback. Because if Father's Day is
- 26:06Speaker 4: a good hit to have, you keep that thing in
- 26:09Speaker 4: your back pocket. Anytime you pull that thing out, it's nice.
- 26:12Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah. So that's your plan. That's what I'm
- 26:15Speaker 4: thinking about doing as of right now.
- 26:16Speaker 5: That's my plan.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Let's say College Football twenty five is off the table,
- 26:19Speaker 4: like that doesn't even exist, it's not coming out. How
- 26:22Speaker 4: would you approach this Father's Day as well? William Earle
- 26:25Speaker 4: Compton the Third.
- 26:28Speaker 5: Gotta do a coffee shop, okay alone, No, I'm good
- 26:32Speaker 5: with the fam. Yeah, I'm good with the fan, but
- 26:35Speaker 5: I if whether I have something set up, I'm gonna
- 26:37Speaker 5: need my hours of solitude.
- 26:41Speaker 4: You Yeah, you want a good like if I'm like, hey,
- 26:43Speaker 4: I want you want a half day, Like, hey, I
- 26:45Speaker 4: want right the morning, twelve oh one morning hit my
- 26:49Speaker 4: favorite things. Yeah yes, Chris Angel, you're out of there.
- 26:52Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah.
- 26:53Speaker 5: Like it's like, hey, I'm gonna go watch Planet.
- 26:55Speaker 4: Of the Apes. You're gonna do whatever, you just go. Yeah,
- 26:57Speaker 4: I'm gonna go on Netflix and I'm gonna score for
- 26:59Speaker 4: three hours. That's what I'm gonna even if I just
- 27:01Speaker 4: watch every trailer. Right, you're doing bedtime? No, no, no, no,
- 27:06Speaker 4: doing bad time. Let's say it's a bad night no
- 27:08Speaker 4: right because it's past twelve oh one. Yeah. Yeah yeah,
- 27:10Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, that's that's a great mix.
- 27:16Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's a good mix.
- 27:17Speaker 4: I've had it both ways because I remember that one
- 27:20Speaker 4: year you meet Dennis, A couple of boys we went
- 27:22Speaker 4: to that shooting place. It all up. Yeah, And that
- 27:25Speaker 4: was like my first or second probably my second Father's
- 27:27Speaker 4: because the first one is definitely like a big deal.
- 27:29Speaker 4: And then I've done it before too. It's like, no, honey,
- 27:31Speaker 4: just a normal day. I want to be around the family.
- 27:34Speaker 4: But I like the half and half. I like that move.
- 27:37Speaker 5: Yeah, might have to Game of Risk exactly two pm.
- 27:42Speaker 4: Game of Risk this Sunday.
- 27:45Speaker 5: I like that.

- 31:31Speaker 8: you don't ever think you need Triple A membership until
- 31:33Speaker 8: you desperately need one. I found out the axle on
- 31:38Speaker 8: my car snapped this weekend and I about got thrown
- 31:42Speaker 8: off the road in my car. It was one of
- 31:44Speaker 8: the scariest moments I've had driving a vehicle. I was
- 31:47Speaker 8: just going normal, about thirty five miles an hour, and
- 31:49Speaker 8: then out of nowhere, it was like someone had taken
- 31:51Speaker 8: the wheel and shoved it right and I was lost.
- 31:55Speaker 8: So I had to get my car towed. But thank
- 31:56Speaker 8: god that Triple A membership I have. This good old
- 32:00Speaker 8: boy got out to my house in like forty minutes,
- 32:02Speaker 8: put it up on there, got it towed out. It
- 32:05Speaker 8: was just it alleviated a lot of stress because I
- 32:08Speaker 8: was like, I don't know how or if my car
- 32:10Speaker 8: will survive because I drive an O four or four
- 32:12Speaker 8: Runner and it is on its way out. It's two
- 32:16Speaker 8: hundred and eighty thousand miles. So he took good care
- 32:19Speaker 8: of it. He was there in like thirty minutes, which
- 32:22Speaker 8: that's kind of like the scary thing with Triple A.
- 32:23Speaker 8: You never know if it's going to take like three hours.
- 32:25Speaker 8: And luckily I was at my house, I was able
- 32:27Speaker 8: to get my car back there. But yeah, shout out
- 32:29Speaker 8: Triple A and the good people who are just cruising

- 32:47Speaker 6: usually the villain. Most people hate toe companies. You get towed,
- 32:51Speaker 6: you're pissed off, you're paying like four hundred dollars. But
- 32:54Speaker 6: when you need the toe company for your benefit, it's
- 32:57Speaker 6: the best thing ever. Abandoned vehicle parked on the street
- 33:00Speaker 6: in front of our house, but a little bit is
- 33:03Speaker 6: in our yard, so we have the right to call

- 39:05Speaker 1: gotta I gotta go in for you James Jones, right,
- 39:08Speaker 1: He always told me he got two boys. He was like,
- 39:10Speaker 1: to to the left, to to the right, down the
- 39:14Speaker 1: middle and leave the drizzle. That's how you get boys.
- 39:17Speaker 4: I mean to the left, to the right, to down
- 39:19Speaker 4: the middle and leave the drizzle.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Sitting there for a little bit, the only thing.
- 39:23Speaker 4: I understood there was down the middle of the drizzle. Part.
- 39:25Speaker 4: What do we do with going to the left and right? Yeah,
- 39:27Speaker 4: And I don't know if I got six pumps in there,
- 39:31Speaker 4: I can't even know you could take direct directions in there.
- 39:33Speaker 4: But I thought it was like a straight ahead type
- 39:34Speaker 4: of deal. Is that how it works, bro? I would
- 39:39Speaker 4: it's the boys I mean we were we were intentional
- 39:42Speaker 4: about trying to get boys, like all the mess and
- 39:45Speaker 4: everything you can you got on Google search. Yeah, I
- 39:48Speaker 4: was honestly surprised, very surprised to see the pink. For
- 39:52Speaker 4: just whatever reason, I.
- 39:54Speaker 5: I felt like I was separated enough. Little did I
- 39:57Speaker 5: know I care as much as I do now, but
- 39:58Speaker 5: I was. I felt separated enough to him like if
- 40:01Speaker 5: I get another one a rue, like, I mean, I'm winning.
- 40:03Speaker 5: I don't feel near as like gung ho about needing
- 40:06Speaker 5: a boy the way I felt like I needed a
- 40:07Speaker 5: boy the first one we had because I was disappointed
- 40:11Speaker 5: with the rue being a girl. And this one came out, bro.
- 40:15Speaker 5: And when I saw the pink.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Oh you saw it on your face. I saw the picture.
- 40:20Speaker 5: I truly I couldn't believe it. That in that moment
- 40:23Speaker 5: is when I was telling Taylor, I was like, it's
- 40:26Speaker 5: not that I was disappointed that it I mean, I
- 40:28Speaker 5: was disappointed that it was pink, But it's not that
- 40:30Speaker 5: I'm upset that I have two girls. It's just that
- 40:32Speaker 5: in that moment, I realized how badly I did want
- 40:35Speaker 5: a boy, because there's a part of me that didn't
- 40:37Speaker 5: necessarily want three, like I we'll have two. It'll be
- 40:40Speaker 5: all good, two girls.
- 40:42Speaker 4: Whatever.
- 40:43Speaker 5: I would love to have a boy, would prefer a boy,
- 40:46Speaker 5: but it's whatever. But when that moment happened, I think
- 40:49Speaker 5: everything just like kicked my heart set of racing before
- 40:51Speaker 5: I saw and I was like, we're gonna have to
- 40:53Speaker 5: get We're gonna have to get after it immediately because
- 40:56Speaker 5: we have.
- 40:56Speaker 4: To irish twins.
- 40:59Speaker 5: I need to have a boy.
- 41:00Speaker 4: I need to have them back.
- 41:02Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I wanted I wanted a girl,
- 41:04Speaker 1: this last one. I wanted a girl. I thought we were
- 41:06Speaker 1: having a girl.
- 41:06Speaker 4: That's a selfish statement.
- 41:07Speaker 1: It's a selfish statement.
- 41:10Speaker 4: The first kid, would you want a boy or girl? Boy?
- 41:13Speaker 4: And the second one you didn't care because you already had.
- 41:15Speaker 1: A boy exactly.
- 41:16Speaker 4: So this is like washing a rich kid, going it's
- 41:18Speaker 4: all good, you'll be able to pay rents, all good, man,
- 41:20Speaker 4: don't play with house money. Yeah, you know you're playing
- 41:23Speaker 4: with house money.
- 41:24Speaker 5: I'll say I'll say this too about like with guys
- 41:27Speaker 5: and wanting boys in the sports world and everything else,
- 41:29Speaker 5: Like every guy wants their son that hopefully is kind
- 41:32Speaker 5: of like maybe a clone of themselves so that they
- 41:34Speaker 5: could be better. But even with one boy, I feel like,
- 41:37Speaker 5: and correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like
- 41:39Speaker 5: all guys have this. They even want a second one
- 41:42Speaker 5: because it helps the the percentages of Like, Okay, maybe
- 41:45Speaker 5: I have the first one and I name him the fourth,
- 41:48Speaker 5: but maybe he's not. Maybe he's not like what I
- 41:50Speaker 5: was envisioning in my head. But that second boy, you
- 41:53Speaker 5: got another shot, Like, oh, that's gonna be the athlete.
- 41:55Speaker 5: That's this, that's that.
- 41:55Speaker 4: You have two shots versus exactly.
- 41:58Speaker 1: My oldest he was, I think maybe two, and we
- 42:02Speaker 1: were back in Green Bay. He was in the house.
- 42:05Speaker 1: I'm a practice. He trips over the carpet, bust his
- 42:09Speaker 1: head on a wood table, cuts his head open. We
- 42:12Speaker 1: gotta go get stitches. Everything's all right. We get him
- 42:15Speaker 1: taken care of. We're riding home. I tell my wife, man,
- 42:18Speaker 1: we got a we got a bad athlete. I was
- 42:23Speaker 1: a little worried. I mean, he he did all right,
- 42:29Speaker 1: He did all right. I went back and watched, you know,
- 42:32Speaker 1: wash the camera, watch the tape, see what happened. Tripped
- 42:35Speaker 1: over his own foot, busted his head open, led the stitches.
- 42:40Speaker 1: He got his ward wounds though, and he's actually a
- 42:42Speaker 1: pretty good athlete now. He's playing with seven year olds
- 42:47Speaker 1: as a five year old in soccer, so you know
- 42:49Speaker 1: he's I was a little worried at that moment. I
- 42:54Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I got a little I got a
- 42:56Speaker 1: little man child in my seconds. If you look at
- 42:59Speaker 1: him and he's built stout like he's he's.
- 43:01Speaker 4: A sturdy kid.
- 43:02Speaker 1: He's a sturdy kid.
- 43:03Speaker 4: Yeah, if aus comes, he's gonna be al.
- 43:04Speaker 1: Right, exactly, he's He's definitely gonna be taller than me.
- 43:07Speaker 1: He's probably gonna be a little stronger than me. He
- 43:09Speaker 1: has the back muscles already as a four year old.
- 43:12Speaker 1: So I'm not too worried about him. But you know,
- 43:14Speaker 1: I definitely know I got an athlete in the first one.
- 43:16Speaker 4: Now, as a father of a son, is the greatest
- 43:19Speaker 4: badge of honor at this age. The you know he's five,
- 43:22Speaker 4: he played with seven year olds? Is that one of
- 43:23Speaker 4: the greatest That is.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Especially because I think in this day and the age, everybody,
- 43:29Speaker 1: especially in Nashville, for some reason, everyone wants to hold
- 43:32Speaker 1: their kids back so they can be older as seniors
- 43:35Speaker 1: in high school. But like when I was a kid,
- 43:37Speaker 1: I started school with four Like I turned five, like
- 43:40Speaker 1: a few days into the first in kindergarten and then
- 43:43Speaker 1: I graduated at seventeen. So I've always been the youngest.
- 43:46Speaker 1: I've always played up and I've always felt like it
- 43:48Speaker 1: made me better because I'm playing with I got to
- 43:51Speaker 1: hold my own I'm playing with older kids all the time.
- 43:54Speaker 1: So I wanted that for my boys as well.
- 43:56Speaker 4: Brett Kurrent said the same thing. He was talking about boys.
- 43:59Speaker 4: Like girls, you want to hold back because you want
- 44:01Speaker 4: them to be like the oldest, the most mature in
- 44:03Speaker 4: their class. But with boys, as soon as you can
- 44:06Speaker 4: possibly get him in, get him in, like the four
- 44:07Speaker 4: year old Andy. I graduated at seventeen to two, and
- 44:10Speaker 4: I always thought like, hey, that's an edge. I'm just
- 44:12Speaker 4: a little bit younger than everybody else.
- 44:14Speaker 1: But you know, and you know what happened.
- 44:16Speaker 5: I want a boy.
- 44:17Speaker 4: I don't know I have that. I just want a boy.
- 44:18Speaker 1: You get drafted a little earlier, yes, a little bit
- 44:21Speaker 1: younger to get that next contract.
- 44:23Speaker 4: Yeah the long Yeah, yeah, you're talking about that. You
- 44:27Speaker 4: have a five year old kid, that's crazy about your
- 44:32Speaker 4: kid goes to Kentucky. Yeah, he's a red shirt junior.
- 44:35Speaker 4: Let's say he's a true junior, because he's going to
- 44:36Speaker 4: be a stud has the opportunity to go to the league.
- 44:38Speaker 4: He'll be maybe a first round pick. You really not sure,
- 44:42Speaker 4: could go top thirty two, could not be telling them
- 44:44Speaker 4: to leave?
- 44:47Speaker 1: Yeah? Probably so business.
- 44:49Speaker 4: Yeah that's good. Yeah, you can always go back and
- 44:51Speaker 4: get your degree.
- 44:51Speaker 1: Always. That's what I did. I went back, So I
- 44:54Speaker 1: graduated in twenty fifteen. So I went back five years
- 44:58Speaker 1: after I was done and got my degree. I was
- 45:00Speaker 1: taking online classes every off season and finally got my diploma.
- 45:07Speaker 1: What was that twenty fifteen? Yeah?
- 45:09Speaker 4: How many times if you used it?
- 45:11Speaker 3: Uh?
- 45:11Speaker 1: Not yet. Yeah, but I'm currently unemployed, so maybe to start.
- 45:17Speaker 4: Yeah, if your kids are good enough.
- 45:20Speaker 5: To get recruited at that kind of level, is there
- 45:23Speaker 5: some bias and pressure to go to Kentucky?
- 45:26Speaker 4: Uh?
- 45:26Speaker 1: For sure, you know, definitely, I would love for that
- 45:29Speaker 1: for them to follow my footsteps. But I also don't
- 45:32Speaker 1: want my kids to play football either, like I'm trying to.
- 45:35Speaker 1: I'm trying to push them to soccer or tennis or
- 45:40Speaker 1: golf or I took all the hits. I took all
- 45:44Speaker 1: that possible CTE. So y'all can go do something else. So,
- 45:47Speaker 1: you know, if they want to make that decision to
- 45:49Speaker 1: decide to play uh later on in life then you know,
- 45:52Speaker 1: I probably let them around high school, but I'm not
- 45:54Speaker 1: gonna let them play like they can play flag and today.
- 45:57Speaker 4: Really.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what my personal pick.
- 46:00Speaker 5: With I love that opinion. Yeah, I don't necessarily I
- 46:03Speaker 5: think if I had a boy I would want to
- 46:04Speaker 5: play in not not want him, but I wouldn't. I'm
- 46:07Speaker 5: not thinking about it in that capacity. I'm just thinking, like,
- 46:09Speaker 5: you know, you want to play tackle ball, Like, let's
- 46:11Speaker 5: let's get out of the yard.
- 46:12Speaker 4: I'll teach you a couple of how many tackle ball?
- 46:14Speaker 4: How many kids like eight year olds are playing tackle
- 46:16Speaker 4: football right now?
- 46:17Speaker 7: Though?
- 46:17Speaker 4: Does that even happen anymore? My was my our league.
- 46:20Speaker 4: It was like fourth grade. It was the earliest.
- 46:21Speaker 1: The one we started in the second grade, second grade
- 46:25Speaker 1: tackle football and second grade.
- 46:27Speaker 4: But you remember being in a recess playing that one
- 46:30Speaker 4: game we can't say the name of anymore, throw the
- 46:32Speaker 4: ball up in the air, whoever, that guy's gotta go
- 46:35Speaker 4: oh queer. Hey.
- 46:38Speaker 5: The drills too that you do back in the day,
- 46:41Speaker 5: like Duck duck goose. Did you guys ever do dug
- 46:43Speaker 5: dug goose in football?
- 46:44Speaker 4: In tackle football? No?
- 46:46Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously you sit around Dug duck goose. You pat
- 46:48Speaker 5: the head and the kid gets up and you just
- 46:50Speaker 5: run and fucking run into each other.
- 46:52Speaker 4: Well you're in opposite direct killer. Yeah, Jesus, we never
- 46:56Speaker 4: played that. Yeah, we know Oklahoma drills.
- 47:00Speaker 1: Who didn't play that? Who Austin Rivers?
- 47:02Speaker 5: Yes, Oklahoma Drill's made more NBA players than any other
- 47:06Speaker 5: drill out.
- 47:06Speaker 1: There, no question. And you see nobody's backing him up
- 47:09Speaker 1: right now. I haven't heard one NBA player talk about,
- 47:11Speaker 1: oh I could play in the NFL. Haven't heard it.
- 47:14Speaker 5: They have been quiet, you know. Did you see Lou Williams.
- 47:17Speaker 5: He had he had a take and I actually respected
- 47:20Speaker 5: his take. He kind of talked through it all. He's like,
- 47:21Speaker 5: let's not act. Let's not act like now like football
- 47:24Speaker 5: like all like all y'all are pussy's. Like there's some
- 47:26Speaker 5: guys that catch them all and they make business decisions
- 47:29Speaker 5: going down. And I got his truck out of it
- 47:30Speaker 5: because he was like, He's like, there's still some like
- 47:33Speaker 5: essentially GrITT and spit in the NBA, but let's not
- 47:35Speaker 5: act like everybody across the board in the NFL has
- 47:37Speaker 5: got this toughness mentality.
- 47:39Speaker 4: Yeah, but the grittiest dude in the in the NBA
- 47:42Speaker 4: is like one of the softser dudes of any NFL team.
- 47:45Speaker 1: Did you hear what Charles Barkley said? He was on
- 47:48Speaker 1: Club He said he played football one day and his
- 47:52Speaker 1: coach told him we got to do this again tomorrow
- 47:55Speaker 1: and He's like, oh, no, I'm done. I'm done for
- 47:58Speaker 1: running the people for two I was straight. Yeah, he
- 48:01Speaker 1: said it on Club Sha Shae. I just listened to
- 48:03Speaker 1: it coming back from the beach last week, like so,
- 48:06Speaker 1: I think that was probably even the past month that
- 48:08Speaker 1: he said that. It was before Austin Rivers said what
- 48:11Speaker 1: he said, and we talked about Charles Barkley one of
- 48:13Speaker 1: the toughest NBA guys. Yeah, in the history at a game.
- 48:16Speaker 5: Right, There is a different mentality, but same reason you're
- 48:19Speaker 5: talking about y'all want my kids to do something else
- 48:22Speaker 5: like the Cats who are good at who are skilled
- 48:23Speaker 5: enough to go after the NBA dream. I mean there's
- 48:26Speaker 5: way more.
- 48:27Speaker 4: I mean there's nobody that's leaving the NFL that there's
- 48:30Speaker 4: nobody leaving the NBA to go to the NFL, or
- 48:32Speaker 4: in the NFL is just going to.
- 48:33Speaker 5: Stay if they had the opportunity to go to the NBA.
- 48:35Speaker 4: Yeah, there's way less money and way more physical. The
- 48:39Speaker 4: injury rate it's so much higher. The NFL horrible sport
- 48:44Speaker 4: if you really think about it.
- 48:45Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a terrible sport.
- 48:46Speaker 4: And what I appreciate to with lou Is.
- 48:48Speaker 5: He was also talking about the skill required like in
- 48:51Speaker 5: the NFL, like catching a football, catching a punt or
- 48:54Speaker 5: really catching a punt. Seems like the hardest thing to
- 48:56Speaker 5: do in the NFL, but he was talking about all
- 48:58Speaker 5: the different things reading off, reading defense along with the
- 49:01Speaker 5: high level skills. You're hard because I do think the
- 49:04Speaker 5: n b A like the skill requirement there's way way
- 49:07Speaker 5: higher as the barrier of entry to get in to
- 49:09Speaker 5: play basketball is like low, Like everybody can go into
- 49:12Speaker 5: a gym.
- 49:13Speaker 4: And play all that bounces and some cheese.
- 49:17Speaker 5: But uh yeah, catching upon what do you think is
- 49:20Speaker 5: the hardest skill? You've played a lot of different positions.
- 49:23Speaker 1: The hardest left tackles, tackle.
- 49:26Speaker 4: For sure is one of I was I just do
- 49:29Speaker 4: a line out there. I'm glad you guys, bet, thank you.
- 49:33Speaker 1: Question without a question, corner without a question. Think you're right,
- 49:37Speaker 1: been out there on the island by yourself, which I
- 49:40Speaker 1: mean not too many guys doing in this age of football,
- 49:44Speaker 1: been out there on the island by yourself, running backwards,
- 49:48Speaker 1: flipping your hips, getting out of your brakes, being able
- 49:51Speaker 1: to make the contested uh PBu like.
- 49:54Speaker 5: Keeping your body control.
- 49:55Speaker 1: Exactly come on, like being able to like and then
- 49:58Speaker 1: if you're picking the ball as well, like that's that's
- 50:01Speaker 1: that's tough. That's tough. Slanting out there.
- 50:03Speaker 4: It is the hardest thing to do. It's one of
- 50:04Speaker 4: the watching a corner that has good hips and good
- 50:08Speaker 4: like feet and everything. It's like watching poetry sometimes it is.
- 50:11Speaker 4: It is one of the more beautiful things you can
- 50:12Speaker 4: possibly watch in sports. Just the ability to track and
- 50:15Speaker 4: watch somebody and move with them not knowing what they're doing,
- 50:18Speaker 4: while they know exactly what they're doing. It's got to be.
- 50:21Speaker 4: It has to be the hardest thing.
- 50:22Speaker 5: I mean, Jalen Ramsey like his like he had some
- 50:25Speaker 5: basketball highlights that were surfacing last week when all this
- 50:27Speaker 5: stuff was going down to the duke, and he can
- 50:29Speaker 5: hoop as well.
- 50:29Speaker 4: There's no question to Higgins Adams.
- 50:34Speaker 5: Yeah, I've heard Adams is insane.
- 50:38Speaker 4: I don't.
- 50:38Speaker 5: I don't like there's I don't feel like there's a
- 50:40Speaker 5: whole lot out there on but everybody through the grape
- 50:42Speaker 5: vine says he's like a legit ball player.
- 50:44Speaker 4: What about Devin Funches, He just signed a deal with
- 50:46Speaker 4: a European league. He did.
- 50:48Speaker 5: Washed up wide receiver, you know, can't play in the
- 50:50Speaker 5: NFL anymore. Asides, let's go sign professional basketball.
- 50:53Speaker 4: Okay, that was a little nasty towards the Michigan guy,
- 50:55Speaker 4: But yeah, I said it pretty strong. Washed up football
- 50:58Speaker 4: player can't play in the league. I'm washed up. We're
- 51:01Speaker 4: all well all, I mean, are you washed up?
- 51:05Speaker 1: It depends on who you ask. You get on there,
- 51:07Speaker 1: you get on X, you get on.
- 51:11Speaker 4: Man, that's a lawless world, a lawless world.
- 51:14Speaker 1: How did you do?
- 51:14Speaker 4: How did you deal with that? Playing?
- 51:17Speaker 1: I really don't. It doesn't really bother me.
- 51:19Speaker 4: Yeah, but we've all sat there and fell victim to
- 51:21Speaker 4: the search bar.
- 51:22Speaker 1: It no question. You see everything that said. I think
- 51:25Speaker 1: one thing that people think that I'm like forty seven
- 51:28Speaker 1: because like my first game in the league, Like, so.
- 51:31Speaker 4: You're like I thought I thought he was older.
- 51:33Speaker 2: Ship.
- 51:34Speaker 4: When I started looking up your stuff, I was like,
- 51:37Speaker 4: even being the league, I was like your five and
- 51:38Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, Randall cops still doing it a year
- 51:41Speaker 4: older than me. But you've just been You've been making
- 51:44Speaker 4: highlight plays since literally your first play as a rookie.
- 51:47Speaker 4: That it just seems like you've been the league for
- 51:49Speaker 4: twenty years.
- 51:50Speaker 1: I was twenty when that play happened, So like that's crazy,
- 51:53Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I was, I was
- 51:55Speaker 1: so young coming in and like even now, like whenever
- 51:58Speaker 1: I talk to like these rookies and stuff, like they
- 52:00Speaker 1: were in kindergarten first grade when that game happened. So like,
- 52:07Speaker 1: if you think about it from that perspective, they're going
- 52:09Speaker 1: through middle school, high school, college, and I'm still here, Like,
- 52:15Speaker 1: I mean, I think that speaks for itself. Washed though that.
- 52:19Speaker 1: I think that is a It happens to everybody, right,
- 52:21Speaker 1: Like maybe not everybody. I mean Tom Brady was still
- 52:24Speaker 1: doing it at forty two.
- 52:26Speaker 4: Well he'll be washed in.
- 52:31Speaker 1: Everybody ages out of this league at some point. It's
- 52:33Speaker 1: a matter of like when and how. I don't think
- 52:37Speaker 1: anybody ever goes out on their own terms the way
- 52:40Speaker 1: that they want to. But I'm kind of in that
- 52:43Speaker 1: position now, Like if I want to go out on
- 52:46Speaker 1: my own terms, I can, like and I'll be happy.
- 52:50Speaker 1: You know, I haven't made any kind of decision but
- 52:52Speaker 1: also somebody's gotta want you to write. So I'm just
- 52:56Speaker 1: sitting back, relaxing and enjoying time with the family, chilling,
- 52:59Speaker 1: taking vacations, living life.
- 53:02Speaker 4: How does that dialogue work with your family? Though? We're
- 53:05Speaker 4: sitting there with your wife and like, this has been
- 53:07Speaker 4: a part of your life forever. You've been doing this
- 53:08Speaker 4: in second grade, you said, right, right, Like if you
- 53:11Speaker 4: walk away from this, you're essentially walking away from a
- 53:13Speaker 4: piece of your identity. We all we all say it's
- 53:15Speaker 4: like what we do, not who we are. But if
- 53:17Speaker 4: you play for this long, it is part of who
- 53:19Speaker 4: you are. How does that dialogue look with your family?
- 53:22Speaker 4: And the calls come in or not coming in and
- 53:24Speaker 4: just kind of making that transition.
- 53:25Speaker 1: So my wife, she keeps like, she keeps asking me
- 53:27Speaker 1: like are you sure? Like are you sure?
- 53:28Speaker 7: You?
- 53:30Speaker 4: Like?
- 53:30Speaker 1: Which way do you want to go? Like how do
- 53:31Speaker 1: you want to do this? And for me personally, I've
- 53:35Speaker 1: moved my family. We've lived in ten different places in
- 53:38Speaker 1: the past five years. Like between you know, I was
- 53:41Speaker 1: in Green Bay. We had an off season home in
- 53:43Speaker 1: La Then I went to Dallas, then we went to Houston,
- 53:48Speaker 1: back to Green Bay. We packed up everything and moved
- 53:51Speaker 1: to Nashville, and like now Nashville's home base, we went
- 53:55Speaker 1: to Jersey. We had multiple rentals in different places. My
- 53:59Speaker 1: oldest he hasn't even started kindergarten yet and he's been
- 54:02Speaker 1: in five different schools. So, like, I see how much
- 54:05Speaker 1: it weighs on them every time we move, and like
- 54:08Speaker 1: you know, they not have like my oldest son, both
- 54:12Speaker 1: of my boys not having any stability. So being able
- 54:14Speaker 1: to give them stability is huge for me at this point,
- 54:16Speaker 1: and that's all that I really want is to give
- 54:18Speaker 1: them that opportunity. Like you know, I've lived out my dream.
- 54:22Speaker 1: You know, I don't think another year of football is
- 54:24Speaker 1: going to change anything in my life. Like if I
- 54:26Speaker 1: play great, if I don't great, like I'm good. I'm good.
- 54:30Speaker 1: Like I've been able to financially take care of my family,
- 54:33Speaker 1: I've been able to emotionally live out my dream. And
- 54:40Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I'm kind of ready for
- 54:42Speaker 1: that next phase of life to figure out what it is,
- 54:44Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Like I love being around the game.
- 54:46Speaker 1: I want to stay around the game in some capacity.
- 54:49Speaker 1: I don't know what that'll be or how that'll come,
- 54:51Speaker 1: but the way I look at it, is. It took
- 54:53Speaker 1: me twenty years to get drafted into the NFL, So
- 54:56Speaker 1: in another twenty years from now, I want to be
- 54:58Speaker 1: solidified in whatever I'm doing my post career. So I'm
- 55:02Speaker 1: gonna go to the next phase of life with the
- 55:05Speaker 1: same attitude that I did in this one, and whatever
- 55:09Speaker 1: pathway I decide, I'm gonna put one hundred percent into it.
- 55:12Speaker 1: I'm gonna put all my work and time into it,
- 55:14Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get better at whatever it is. I
- 55:16Speaker 1: know it's not gonna happen immediately, but in five years,
- 55:19Speaker 1: ten years, I'll be where I know on the path
- 55:22Speaker 1: that I'm trying to get to with.
- 55:25Speaker 5: Clearly, you're not going to retire on busting with the boys.
- 55:29Speaker 5: But if you had a crystal ball and there's a
- 55:31Speaker 5: couple different scenarios that your flirt that you would you
- 55:34Speaker 5: would like if that didn't go, if this scenario didn't happen, Say,
- 55:38Speaker 5: in my brain, it was like, if this happened before
- 55:40Speaker 5: the season, that'd be sick. If this happened right before
- 55:42Speaker 5: the first week of the NFL sick missing training camp.
- 55:46Speaker 5: If we're getting into this season, like, what are the
- 55:49Speaker 5: different scenarios in your head? If you had a crystal
- 55:51Speaker 5: ball that would play out well for radal Cop, I
- 55:55Speaker 5: would say, I think it would be disrespectful to the game,
- 56:04Speaker 5: in my opinion, for me to go somewhere right now.
- 56:09Speaker 1: I don't think that I'm in a position like I've
- 56:11Speaker 1: been training, but I haven't been like NFL training, you
- 56:14Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I don't want to disrespect
- 56:15Speaker 1: the game in anyway, So it would be disrespectful for
- 56:18Speaker 1: me to go anywhere right now. I'm gonna take my
- 56:22Speaker 1: training up a level in July and train July August.
- 56:27Speaker 1: I think two months is plenty of time for me.
- 56:29Speaker 1: I think we all figured that out during COVID that
- 56:31Speaker 1: you know what you need to get ready for a season,
- 56:34Speaker 1: and I was able to do that in two months
- 56:36Speaker 1: during the COVID time. I'm gonna start training in July August,
- 56:41Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens come September. You know already
- 56:45Speaker 1: already me and my wife, we already booked the trip
- 56:47Speaker 1: the start of training camp. So for me, I'm like,
- 56:51Speaker 1: that's out the picture. That's out the picture. Like, I
- 56:55Speaker 1: personally don't feel like I need training camp. I'll be
- 56:57Speaker 1: ready whenever whenever that time come. But yeah, I think
- 57:02Speaker 1: the perfect scenario for me would just let the season
- 57:05Speaker 1: play out, and you know, maybe something happens mid season
- 57:09Speaker 1: somebody needs somebody to need me, and I'll be ready.
- 57:12Speaker 1: But I think there's only a few situations that I'd
- 57:15Speaker 1: be interested in, and it's somewhere you know a few
- 57:17Speaker 1: places that I've had some familiarity with and like I
- 57:21Speaker 1: know the coaching staff, I know the offense already, and
- 57:23Speaker 1: it'd be something where I can jump in and be
- 57:26Speaker 1: of support in whatever way that I could be.
- 57:28Speaker 4: What about places you're not familiar with, like contenders, would
- 57:31Speaker 4: you be sitting like in Kansas City or a Buffalo
- 57:36Speaker 4: the young JJ McCarthy.
- 57:39Speaker 1: You know one thing last year before I went to
- 57:42Speaker 1: the Jets, it was like, man, I'm good, this is
- 57:46Speaker 1: a storybook ending. I finished me and Aaron walking off
- 57:49Speaker 1: the field at Lambeau. I got to come back and
- 57:52Speaker 1: finish my career where it all started. Like if this
- 57:55Speaker 1: is the end for me, I'm good, I'm content with it.
- 57:58Speaker 1: And then like we got into the off season and
- 58:00Speaker 1: I had that itch and it was like I'm not
- 58:03Speaker 1: I'm not done yet. But my one thing was I
- 58:05Speaker 1: don't want to go somewhere and play with a quarterback
- 58:08Speaker 1: that's not not established. I want to go into a
- 58:10Speaker 1: situation that I know the guy that's throwing the ball
- 58:16Speaker 1: can get it done. And you know, lucky enough the
- 58:19Speaker 1: Jets was that opportunity for me. And you know it
- 58:22Speaker 1: made sense. I already knew the offense with it Ben
- 58:25Speaker 1: Hackett's offense. I knew the quarterback obviously playing with him
- 58:29Speaker 1: for a decade. I mean, why not, right, So it
- 58:33Speaker 1: was a perfect situation. And yeah, it was fun. I
- 58:36Speaker 1: mean the four players we got together. Was Funa.
- 58:41Speaker 4: Mentioned to jump from Green Bay to the Jets, Like
- 58:43Speaker 4: when you're making that jump? How much did Aaron play
- 58:45Speaker 4: a part when he was talking to like the Jets
- 58:48Speaker 4: higher ups, did he say anything to them, I hate
- 58:50Speaker 4: this guy, this is my guy. We got to get
- 58:52Speaker 4: this guy.
- 58:52Speaker 1: I have no clue what he was saying to them,
- 58:54Speaker 1: but you know he called me and was like, hey,
- 58:56Speaker 1: like would you be interested? And I'm like yeah, And
- 59:00Speaker 1: I was like but at the same time, like I
- 59:03Speaker 1: don't want to just come up there and be there
- 59:06Speaker 1: to be there, like is it like something where like
- 59:11Speaker 1: let me get in there and let me show what
- 59:13Speaker 1: I can do? And you know that's exactly what the
- 59:15Speaker 1: Jets did. They gave me an opportunity. You know, I
- 59:19Speaker 1: was coming off of a surgery last year. I had
- 59:21Speaker 1: a little bit of a bone spread that had shaved off,
- 59:24Speaker 1: and I rehabed the entire offseason. I missed the start
- 59:28Speaker 1: of training camp, you know. And you know, even when
- 59:32Speaker 1: I talked to Solid at the end of the season
- 59:33Speaker 1: exit interviews, I was like, you know, what was the situation?
- 59:37Speaker 1: Whenever I came in. I just wanted to get an
- 59:39Speaker 1: understanding of, you know, what they saw for me. And
- 59:42Speaker 1: he was like, honestly, we didn't think that you were
- 59:43Speaker 1: gonna make a team. Like we just brought you in here,
- 59:46Speaker 1: like to help with the young guys, help with the
- 59:48Speaker 1: transition and letting the young receivers know about Aaron and
- 59:51Speaker 1: like how he likes things and you know what he expects.
- 59:55Speaker 1: But those last three weeks of training camp, like you
- 59:58Speaker 1: balled and like not only that, like he we had
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: like a we had like a running tab of like
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: effort plays right. And I told you I missed the
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: first few weeks of training camp, so I wasn't out there.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: At the end of training camp, I was in second
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: place in the receiver group of effort plays as a
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: thirteen year year vet, right, And they do that based
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: off of like burst after play, chasing a running back
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: down the field, plays being made, finishing with the ball
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: after you make the catch, finishing to the end zone,
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: like those kind of things. And that's just who I
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: that's the player that I was, that's the that's how
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: I practice, that's how I go about my business. And
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: he was just saying, like we were surprised, like about
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: how much you still had in the tank, and that's
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: why you got the nod to start the season as
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: a starter. Like you know, so I missed most of
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: the training camp I had the last few weeks and
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: I ended up getting a starting spot in the slot
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: when the season came.
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: Around here, like yeah, we thought you weren't even gonna
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: make the team.
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: I love the honesty. I love the honesty, Like I'm
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: a person. No, no, I'm for real, I'm for real.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: I would rather you tell me, hey, you're you're sorry
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: and you don't have it anymore. And I'd be like,
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: all right, cool if that was the case. But if
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: that's not the case, then okay. There's a lot of
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: there's a lot of politicking and things that's happening behind doors.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Just just shoot me straight.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: I can take it.
- 1:01:29Speaker 5: How awesome was it when you did get traded back
- 1:01:32Speaker 5: to Green Bay from Houston?
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Come on, oh you let me tell you.
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: It wasn't the Houston Texans right now.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: No, it was not. And going back the one thing
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: I would never say that I may regret to my career,
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: but I will say that I wish that I would
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: have thought a little bit more into it before I
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: signed there with Houston. So I was in Green Bay
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: for years. I went to Dallas for a year, and
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: then Garrett got fired. They hire Mike McCarthy, my head
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: coach for my first eight years of my career. Yeah,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: it's the perfect situation, right, Like I'm already with the Cowboys.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: He gets hired, he's now the head coach. Everyone is
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: coming to me like for like hey, like hey, what
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: a word in for me with McCarthy, Like you know
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: what I mean, I'm like, what do you think that
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: I got pulled?
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: Like yeah, yeah, right.
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: So at the at the at his whenever they announce
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: him as the head coach, I go to the to
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: the presentation or whatever you call the press conference. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: I'm blanking obviously. I go to the press conference and
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: we're leaving the press conference and Jerry Jones puts his
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: arm around me, and it's like, I know you're getting
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: homesick down here. I had to bring somebody in for you.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: So like it was the perfect situation for me to
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: go back to Dallas. And like in my mind, me
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: and my wife had already found a house in Dallas.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: We were like, all right, let's wait till March. Let's
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: see what happens. As soon as we signed this kind
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: of track back with the Cowboys, we're gonna be here,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: Like we'll probably live in Dallas the rest of our
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: life because we really enjoyed it, like it was it
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: was great, Like we had a great time done there.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: The guys were great, like playing with Dak and Zeke
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: and those guys like Zach Martin. Great locker room, Like
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: great locker room. Now my guy is coming in McCarthy.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: Perfect situation, and I let my agent, well it's not
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: only my agent. They also offered me, you know, a
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: bag that I couldn't turn down.
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: So what was the situation?
- 1:03:41Speaker 5: What were the two options money? Because well he got
- 1:03:44Speaker 5: a what was it, four year nice.
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: It was three.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: Yeah, So Houston gave me three for twenty seven and
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Dallas were offering me three for eighteen. But the guaranteed
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: money was the kicker. Like, you know, Houston was offered
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: me eighteen guaranteed and Dallas was off of me like
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: twelve guaranteed. That's a big gap, you know what I mean.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: I was trying to tell my agent, if they can,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: if they can get that to fifteen, like I'll eat
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: the three. Like in my mind, I always look at
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: contracts like off the guaranteed money, like the ap wy,
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: like that doesn't matter to me because I'm like, let
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: me know what I'm gonna get.
- 1:04:19Speaker 4: It's the coolest, shining new where that makes you feelod about?
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right. It's an ego kicker for people whenever
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: they when they start signing based off of apy. But yeah,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: I mean I probably if they would have been able
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: to get closer, I probably would have gone back to Dallas.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: But I went to Houston and it was a great situation.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: Like they had been to the playoffs for the past
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: five years. They had a stable what I thought was
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: a stable team, right, Like Deshaun Watson, a quarterback coming
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: off a great year, and people don't realize or remember
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: they were up twenty four er against Kansas City in
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: that playoffs and they just blew the lead ended up
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: losing that game. So in my mind, I'm like, this
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: is a this is a great situation. They got d Hop,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: I can go and you know, be work the slot
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: beside him. And then like my first red flag should
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: have been when they traded d Hop. Right, they traded
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: d Hop while we were finishing up our negotiations, and
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute, that that doesn't like why
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: would they do that, Like it just didn't make sense
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: at the time.
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: But obviously crazy fourth round pick.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, David Johnson coming back. But yeah, so that
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: that happens, and then I end up signing. But remember
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: that's the COVID year. There's no off season. Bill O'Brien's
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: calling me like, hey man, I don't I don't know
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: if we're gonna have a season this year, like you know,
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: I don't know when to tell you to come down here.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: And then I remember he called me like a few
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: days later like hey, I'm gonna need you down here,
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: like aysap, like this thing we getting ready to do it.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: I'm like okay, Like.
- 1:05:55Speaker 4: What was the dates on that, Like, was that like
- 1:05:57Speaker 4: late summer?
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: Yeah, that was somewhere camp We're not going to Yeah yeah,
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: Like that was trying to figure it out. It was
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: a wild time.
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: That was crazy. They were talking about if they canceled
- 1:06:05Speaker 4: the season, nobody makes any.
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: Money, right rights.
- 1:06:08Speaker 4: Like I was like, oh my god, yeah, yeah, it
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: was only twenty was nuts. He calls us, is got
- 1:06:13Speaker 4: to get down here.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Yeah. So we had already, we had got a house
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: down there, we got everything loaded up, got to Houston,
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: and we started the season zero to four and they
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: fired O'Brien And in my mind, I'm like, what did
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: Like I just I just saw this entire place blow up,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Like I saw the making of it. I saw it happen,
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: and I saw the dust settle like through that season.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: After that season, you know, that's when they brought in
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: They hired Cooley as the head coach, who hadn't been
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: a coordinator. He coached twenty seven years in the league.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Great guy. He's from the Nashville area too, the Smurrner
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: god Tennessee boy. So they hire him as the head coach.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: They bring in Caserio from the Patriots and the first
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: time I met Casario, I knew he was like he's
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: the he's the guy, like he's gonna he's gonna fix
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: this place. His first day I remember of the off
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: season that year, he had twenty seven transactions on day
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: one a free agency. I was like, Oh, he's getting
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: ready to flip the roster. I completely flip it. And
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: so I go through that off season. Right before training camp,
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: we are getting ready to go out for the conditioning
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: test and they come and grab me and bring me
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: up to the office and you're getting traded back to
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Green Bay, And like, I just had the biggest smile
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: on my face because did.
- 1:07:51Speaker 5: You know this was this was kind of getting in
- 1:07:53Speaker 5: the works behind closed doors since you're so close with Aaron,
- 1:07:56Speaker 5: I mean as publicly out there saying, you know, front
- 1:07:59Speaker 5: office making move, not me involved.
- 1:08:00Speaker 4: Like Aaronson.
- 1:08:01Speaker 5: He's obviously had a lot of different headlines, but there
- 1:08:03Speaker 5: were times where it's like, you know, they're not consulting
- 1:08:05Speaker 5: with me on certain guys, YadA, YadA, YadA, And it
- 1:08:08Speaker 5: seems like he had a lot of pool in bringing
- 1:08:09Speaker 5: you back to Green Bay.
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean me and him had talked about it.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: We had like obviously we had always like me and
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: that's one of my closest one of my closest friends,
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: and you know, we had talked about it, like the
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: hope to one day played again together, like whether it
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: be in Green Bay or whether or somewhere else, Like
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: we hope that we had that opportunity to play again together.
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: And then like the trade goes down and like there
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: it is, I'm going back home, like I got the
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: opportunity to be back with my boys, Tay, you know,
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: Debac all them were up in Green Bay. We end
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: up having a great year that year, just get knocked
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: out San France at home.
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: Crazy season.
- 1:08:49Speaker 5: That is why did you hate Houston so much?
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: What ultimately led you?
- 1:08:54Speaker 5: Stuff that was going on behind the scenes of it,
- 1:08:56Speaker 5: basically all unfolding and burning down to the ground.
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: Look about it, right, not like public as like a
- 1:09:02Speaker 4: football player would be public about like I'm so happy
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: to be out of there. Oh well, I think quote
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: saying something like how franchises are.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: Ran, Yeah, I mean any business rights ran a certain
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: way and you don't know how that business ran until
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: you get into it, Like you were only a Tennessee
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: your entire career, right, So all you can speak on
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: is the Titans and how you saw things work with
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: the Titans. Right, You've played for a few different teams.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: You can see all of them, all of them.
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: You need to see the inner workings of like what
- 1:09:33Speaker 5: what it takes to be a good organization, right, bad
- 1:09:35Speaker 5: with like being part of winning teams and rushing cultures
- 1:09:38Speaker 5: and stuff like that.
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: Right. So I was in green Bay and I was
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: in Dallas before I went to Houston. So you look
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: at green Bay and you look at Dallas. I know
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: Dallas hasn't like won as much in the playoffs recently,
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: but over the course of their you know history as
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: an organization, like they've had a lot of success and
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: there's a reason for that, Like they have a certain
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: way of doing things. Green Bay has a certain way
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: of doing things. And then when you to Houston and
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: you see the way that things are being done and
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: like you can't do anything about it, and you're just
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: stuck in it. You're like there's no outlet, like you know,
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: and on top of that, its COVID, you can't go anywhere,
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: you can't do anything. We're getting tested every single day.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: Like it was just I think it was just a
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: whirlwind of like bad and it was it was just
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: it was a shitty place like it was. It just was.
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: It was a city like especially when you're losing too,
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: like you start off hoing four, you end up going
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: forward to twelve. On the season, it's like nothing is
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: fun about losing, right.
- 1:10:34Speaker 5: Nothing gets fired. It's it's y cya season. Cover your
- 1:10:38Speaker 5: as seas.
- 1:10:38Speaker 4: Everyone's like no longer playing for the for the team
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: You're not.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: Yeah, you can see that from the coaching. You can
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: see that. You know, you can see it from all
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: the different angles.
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: And there's like one or two guys that are trying
- 1:10:49Speaker 4: to keep the team together and they know, you know,
- 1:10:51Speaker 4: they have no exactly with any of the dudes, right,
- 1:10:54Speaker 4: but there's no shot you're going to keep this team
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: together exactly. Make that early first quarter of the season
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: fired a coach, fire alarms going on.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: It's a long season after, yes, but you know it
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: is what it is. And you know, I I understood
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: the situation and I put myself in that situation, like
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: I decided right, and that off season came around and
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: like you know, I was obviously at that point I
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: was conte play in retirement because I was like I
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: don't know if I want to play, like if I
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: got to go through this again, really, you know what
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: I mean. But you know, but that's that's part of it.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: And you know, luckily I was able to get traded
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: back to Green Bay and go back home. You know
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: that that place is special to me. It always would
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: be special to me. So it was that was the
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: homecoming for me.
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: You talk about how well run the Packers and the
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: Cowboys are, which everybody who's like has a pulse in
- 1:11:44Speaker 4: the league, understand, those are two great franchises. What did
- 1:11:47Speaker 4: it What was Houston lacking at that time compared to
- 1:11:49Speaker 4: the other two?
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: Uh, well, I think direction. Bill O'Brien was not only
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: the head coach, he was the He was the GM
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: as well, right, so now you lost your head coaching
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: your GM. You know who's running things right. And it
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: was a crazy situation with you know, a guy to
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: they had put in place there who kind of went
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: from being a team chaplain to the interim GM, which
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: is wild.
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: You just take the wheel.
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: Wild, just let God handle it, yeah, which is a
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: wild situation. And and like just to see all that
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: happening and to understand what it should look like and
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: to be in a situation where it's going the way
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: that is going. It's just it was a dark time.
- 1:12:40Speaker 4: How difficult is it to be in that locker room
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: and not essentially talk ship and be like, listen, boys
- 1:12:45Speaker 4: out there. For those you boys that are just been
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: in Houston the whole time, there's greener pastors out there.
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: I promise it's like, hey, you're on the last year
- 1:12:51Speaker 4: you deal, get out, do whatever you can get. Stop
- 1:12:57Speaker 4: talking about you can pick from right now.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, it was. It was crazy. It was
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: a crazy time for sure.
- 1:13:03Speaker 4: Dude, talk to me about you the second time. Cut
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: you off. But Bill O'Brien now playing for Tennessee for
- 1:13:09Speaker 4: my whole career, I'll tell you right now, was not
- 1:13:12Speaker 4: a fan of Bill O'Brien. Yeah, how was he when
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: you were with him in the building?
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: Fair enough, we can move on, yes, sir, next question please?
- 1:13:22Speaker 4: Yeah, next question?
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: Please?
- 1:13:24Speaker 5: Damn that bad look.
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: I only only got two months with him, so it's
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: it's hard for me to be able to really you know,
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: I only saw what I saw. We were owing for.
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: We saw I saw him through training camp. Yeah, he
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: didn't think that a season is gonna happen so it
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: is what it is, right, you know.
- 1:13:43Speaker 4: And especially they always say, like you can't judge people
- 1:13:46Speaker 4: at the end of like during a divorce, and that's
- 1:13:48Speaker 4: what he was going through.
- 1:13:48Speaker 5: That was it so rightly in the locker room and
- 1:13:51Speaker 5: probably sharing the sentiment of a guys who've probably been there.
- 1:13:54Speaker 4: Oh, bro, you think this is bad, you should have
- 1:13:55Speaker 4: seen him in twenty eighteen, like that.
- 1:13:58Speaker 5: Just be glad it was only four weeks.
- 1:14:00Speaker 4: Yeah, real, he is that dude. Man, he's a dude
- 1:14:03Speaker 4: that talks to you on the sideline as a head coach. Right,
- 1:14:05Speaker 4: I'd be jogging buying, he'd like, fuck you Lawan, fuck
- 1:14:08Speaker 4: you Bill? What's your name? That whole thing it was.
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: I was not a fan.
- 1:14:14Speaker 5: Uh when you were leaving Green Bay the first time?
- 1:14:17Speaker 5: Was there bitterness? Leaving Green Bay.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: Without a doubt, without a doubt. I was there for
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: eight years, Like I like, that was my place, Like
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: and you don't realize it in the moment, but like,
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: obviously you know it's a business and like I like,
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: I've always looked at it from that. I love the
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: business side of the game, Like that's one of the
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: things that interests me in post career. So I understand
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: the business, but it was like I've been here for
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: eight years. I've given everything that I could possibly give.
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: You know, I could have signed after my when my
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: first deal came up, I could have went somewhere else.
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: I took less to stay in Green Bay because I
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: love it that much and I wanted to be a
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: part of something special that that organization is a special place.
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: So when my deal was up, like Dallas came calling,
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: they offered me one for five. I told my agent, like,
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: can you like ask green Bay, like just make an offer,
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: like I probably would have took anything. They didn't even
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: make an offer, Like they wouldn't even offer damn. You know,
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: So that that hit me in a different way, like
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: like I think it would anyone that we're.
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: Thinking of everything you did to stay there the first
- 1:15:25Speaker 4: time round, all the all the blood, sweat, tears you
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: put in.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: The injuries I'm going through, Like I punctured my lung
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: in a playoff game, Like I'm watching the second half
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: of the Cardinals game from a hospital, you know what
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: I mean, Like broken my leg and you know, came
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: back at the end of the season and had to
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: catch against the against the Bears to get us into
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: the playoffs. Like I'm thinking of all these moments and
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: everything that I've been through with everyone up there, and
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: like of course, like why would I want to leave that?
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: Like I know what I have here and I'm no dummy.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: Like anytime you got Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback, you
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: got an opportunity to win a championship, like right when
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: you this is a league of quarterback. So like, no,
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: I didn't want to go anywhere like that was that
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: was home for me. But you know, it is what
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: it is. Like things happen for a reason. And you know,
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: luckily I didn't sign back with the Cowboys because I
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: went to Houston and was able to get traded back.
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: Maybe that don't happen if I go back to the
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: Cowboys and.
- 1:16:18Speaker 5: When you get traded back all that bitterness that you had,
- 1:16:20Speaker 5: You're like, man, I didn't know how good it was.
- 1:16:22Speaker 4: Hey, the first.
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: Come on, so we the they're in training camp. We
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: always have you know, it's a practice in the stadium.
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: Family Night. We sell out. It's seventy thousand people at
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: Family Night. I walk out. The first thing I do
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: is go and kiss the grounds, the grounds a limbo
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: thank you for letting me back here?
- 1:16:45Speaker 4: Yeah, how long the animosity kind of last for you?
- 1:16:48Speaker 4: Because when you obviously go back to the Packers, you're stoked. Yeah,
- 1:16:51Speaker 4: when you're not even getting an off or you go
- 1:16:53Speaker 4: to Dallas, Like, how long will we essentially fuck the Packers?
- 1:16:56Speaker 4: I've given you guys.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think both of those years that
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: I was gone, because you know, we I played them.
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: Like when I was in Dallas, we played the Packers.
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: When I was in Houston, we played the Packers. So
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: like coming into that game like I'm juice.
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: That's the way you circle on the calendar like there
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: ain't nothing changed. It's just like high school, Like I
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: gotta get my lick back, you know what I mean.
- 1:17:18Speaker 4: So tell the people listening what it's like when you
- 1:17:21Speaker 4: go to a new team and you play your old
- 1:17:23Speaker 4: team like that whole entire week.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: Come on you I circle that on the calendar and
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: the off season as soon as the schedule came out
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: going into that week. I never I've never been one.
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: It's like I need the ball. But that was the
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: one week that like I was like, hey, like you're
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: gonna have to get me the ball, Like I gotta
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: I gotta let them. Yeah, I gotta let them know
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: what they're missing.
- 1:17:43Speaker 4: When the boys like, hell, yeah we got you.
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, they looked out.
- 1:17:47Speaker 5: How nice was it? Uh, you talked about playing the
- 1:17:51Speaker 5: family night and stuff. We got to go out a
- 1:17:52Speaker 5: couple of years ago and interview Lafleur, Basachia Bach and
- 1:17:57Speaker 5: Tonyan and uh running back quad Dylan Yes, AJ Dillon
- 1:18:02Speaker 5: and we got to see that family and night. So so
- 1:18:04Speaker 5: that stuff is incredible. But how fun was it playing
- 1:18:07Speaker 5: for coach Lafleur in that staff.
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved it. It was it was
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: It was a great time. I mean, just to come
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: back and to be a part of it. And like
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: I knew coming back that it wasn't gonna be the
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: same road that I had before when I was in
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: Green Bay. You know, I was a little bit more aged.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: I knew that I wasn't going to be getting eighty
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: ninety percent of the snaps like I did before. Coming
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: into it, I didn't know what to expect because, like
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: like I said, whenever I leave, I don't know who
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: it was that were making the decisions that they didn't
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: want me back. You know, it was Lafort's first year
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: it like it was our GM goots first year, our
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: second year. He had just drafted three receivers in twenty eighteen,
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: which was my last season in Green Bay. So I
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: didn't know if like I would muddy up, was muddying
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: up the picture by them keeping me based off of
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: him wanting to develop those three younger guys. So when
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: I came back, it was it was kind of weird
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: because like I didn't know who actually wanted me back.
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: I knew one guy, right, Like I knew Aaron, you know,
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: wanted me to play with him again at some point,
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: So I knew like he wanted me, But like I
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: didn't know coaching staff, Like it's a new, completely different
- 1:19:21Speaker 1: staff than what I was with before. I didn't know
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: like how it was being perceived, like in the locker room.
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: So like whenever I walk in the locker room, like
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: the first thing I'm doing is I'm trying to like
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: prove myself to all the guys that don't know me. Right,
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: So with my practice habits, the way that I go
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: about meetings, being a professional that I am, like I
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: want to show them, like hey, like I'm giving all
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: the young guys everything that I can, like you know,
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: as far as like route running and understanding the play
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: concept and all these things. Like I'm doing everything that
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: I can, but I don't know, I don't know how
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: it's being perceived. And like as the season goes on,
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: like I realized that I wasn't playing as much as
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: I thought that I could, like, especially like given twenty
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: twenty one and even twenty twenty two, like I was,
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: I was so efficient, Like I would come down in
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: on third down and I like led the league in
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: third down percentage conversions, like based off of thirty percent snapcount. Right,
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: So like I just like in my mind, I'm like
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: I'm doing all this, but like.
- 1:20:26Speaker 5: Why isn't my role developing?
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think that like it would develop a
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: little bit more, but that just wasn't the case. So
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: like I never knew the reason why. And like every
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: single time, like after games, I would like, you know,
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: I make a few plays in Arizona, uh Tay had
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: COVID and was out, Lazard had COVID and was out,
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: and I ended up having two touchdowns and you know,
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: Lafleur came over to me after the game. It was like, man,
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: I'm so glad you're here. And then like he kept
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: saying that, and by the end of the season he
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: had said it so much but my role head and
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: changed that. I was like, man, is he like overcompensating
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: right now? Like it was like a like like it
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: it was kind of a mental mind fuck like that.
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: I just couldn't get over understand. But yeah, it was.
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: It was kind of weird, but at the same time,
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: like I understood a little bit, right, Like I understood
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: like what the situation was. But yeah, I mean, we
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: had two great years. Twenty one we should have went
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: on the run, got knocked out at home. Twenty twenty two,
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: we didn't do it enough early in the season and
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: got knocked out by Detroit at the end of the season.
- 1:21:35Speaker 4: So when you see your playing time not being changed
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: but all those same complements from Lafleur, do you ever
- 1:21:42Speaker 4: go to have dialogue with them? Do you ever go
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: to the GM and the head coach?
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: Yeah? I did.
- 1:21:46Speaker 4: I did.
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: I finally went like it's too late, right, what weak
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: you thing?
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: You was? No? I went.
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: I went at the end of the season really because
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: I'm not one.
- 1:21:54Speaker 4: After the years over, I.
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: Went an exit interview, like trying to get a better
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: understanding after after my second year there, and he was like, yeah,
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: we were just trying to get more speed on the
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: field and I was like, got it, we're running the
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: track me got it. Yeah, But it is what it is.
- 1:22:11Speaker 5: But it wasn't a conversation of I'm super curious because
- 1:22:15Speaker 5: of the things that were were said to me throughout.
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again again, what it is. It is.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: It is what it is, you know.
- 1:22:24Speaker 4: But like for me, if I'm in that type of
- 1:22:27Speaker 4: situation because of the time, they play all the snaps,
- 1:22:30Speaker 4: but if I'm feeling some type of way, instead of
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: harboring it, I'm going we five, WE six, week seven,
- 1:22:35Speaker 4: we eight, like Hey, what do I need to do differently? Snaps?
- 1:22:39Speaker 4: What made you not to have that conversation until the end.
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: One thing over the course of my career that any
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: of my teammates can say about me is that I've
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: never been one that's like I need the ball, Get
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: me the ball, you know what I mean. That just
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: wasn't my personality. And maybe I should have been that way,
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: Maybe that would have things would have changed for me,
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: and maybe something would have happened different in my career
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: had I been like that. But where I come from
- 1:23:06Speaker 1: my high school. We went fifty five and five four
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: state championships. Like we were Damn we were. Yeah, you
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: know we Like I'm always been about the team, like
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: it's whatever's best for the team. It's best for the team.
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: I'm never gonna put myself above the team. That's just
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: that's just the way that I was brought up in
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: the in the game of football. And I understand that
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: it's not about me. So I never wanted to make
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: something about me in the middle of the season like
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: that was never that would have never been the way
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: that I'm cut. So I waited until I waited until
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: after the season to just get a better understanding. And
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: you know, like I said, it is what it is.
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: That's part of that's the nature of the game. Like
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: you know, I even as Lafloor, you know, when we
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: had that conversation, like he's a head coach, he's not
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: thinking about one person. He's thinking about what's the best
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: for the team. And you know he did was what
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: he thought was best for the team. And in all
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: those scenarios, a lot.
- 1:24:04Speaker 5: Of coaches two are different just the way they handle
- 1:24:06Speaker 5: harder conversations or awkward moments like, if you want to
- 1:24:09Speaker 5: be confrontational, if you want to say this, I'm going
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: to err on the side of like massaging versus you know, yeah,
- 1:24:16Speaker 5: keep their head in it.
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, you feel like that's how the floor was
- 1:24:20Speaker 4: a little more like done. Uncomfortable with uncomfortable conversations. You
- 1:24:23Speaker 4: kind of want to stay. Yeah, for sure, that's for
- 1:24:26Speaker 4: sure to keep I wanted he wants to keep the
- 1:24:29Speaker 4: people want to keep the peace.
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not He's not a combative type of personality.
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: You know, it is what it is. Like he I
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: think he's a great coach. And you see what he's
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: done this past season. You know, everyone was like, was
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: it Aaron or was it him? Like he's proven that
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: he he had a big part in what was happening
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: over the course of those last few years. I mean
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: his development of j lo uh, the way that he
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: had that team ready throughout this entire past season and
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: you know the run they went on in the playoffs.
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: That goes to show of how good of a coach
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: that he is. And I got to see it up
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: close in person. I see that the way that he
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: looks at things, he comes from that Shadahan background and
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: the way that he prepares and the way that he
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: is schematically ready and ready to counter whenever someone does
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: something on defense that is a little different, Like he's
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: prepared and he's ready, and he had that team ready
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: to go.
- 1:25:24Speaker 5: Being a fly on the wall those last couple of years.
- 1:25:28Speaker 5: How positive of a breakup was the Aaron Rodgers in
- 1:25:31Speaker 5: Green Bay or do you have a different a different
- 1:25:35Speaker 5: thought on that?
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: I think it was time. I think it was time.
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: I think it's when someone is somewhere for two decades.
- 1:25:42Speaker 1: I think that a taste of something different and the
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: exposure to something different is good. And I felt that
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: when I went to Dallas, it was a different environment
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: and I had to prove myself all over again to
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: all my teammates the coaches when I went to Dallas.
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: And I think the same for Aaron when he left
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: Green Bay. Like yeah, you Aaron Rodgers, but like you
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: forty bro, like what's up? Like we need to see it?
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: And he showed them and like I don't know if
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: y'all watch, I don't know if y'all are hard knocks,
- 1:26:11Speaker 1: but like people got to see who he is on
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: a day to day basis with his teammates, like He's
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: very intentional about everything he does, whether it be sitting
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: at the lunchroom table or him in the locker room
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: or in the weight room, in the meeting room, on
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: the practice field, pulling guys aside, giving them praise, but
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: also kicking them in the ass when they needed it.
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: Like that's who he is on a day to day basis.
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: In Green Bay, I think like it was time, like
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: they needed they felt that Jordan was ready and they
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: were ready to put him into that situation. I mean
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: what he was in was that year four for him
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: of that contract.
- 1:26:48Speaker 4: I think she signed a new contract too, right, Yeah, they.
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: Restructured and yeah he ended up getting a one year
- 1:26:53Speaker 1: deal or whatever. But like it was time they had
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: they had developed him and it was his turn like that.
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: I mean, it's it happens in a dicky.
- 1:27:02Speaker 5: Part of the business.
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: It's gonna hap It's gonna happen.
- 1:27:05Speaker 4: But all the things you say about Aaron, how intentional
- 1:27:07Speaker 4: he is essentially being a coach while playing as a packer.
- 1:27:10Speaker 4: If he still got juice, why would you want to
- 1:27:11Speaker 4: walk away from that just because you have a young
- 1:27:14Speaker 4: talented cat wedding in the wings.
- 1:27:16Speaker 5: It could have been too and obviously I'm cutting you off.
- 1:27:19Speaker 5: I apologize, but it could be too Like even Aaron
- 1:27:22Speaker 5: going to New York, there's almost like a new flame
- 1:27:25Speaker 5: that kind of gets kicked in that maybe he's.
- 1:27:27Speaker 4: Yeah for air where he's moving not not.
- 1:27:30Speaker 7: Differently, but a little bit more intentional because there's more
- 1:27:33Speaker 7: of a approving chip on your shoulder versus I've been
- 1:27:36Speaker 7: in with this organization for a two decades.
- 1:27:37Speaker 5: There's obviously the back and forth with business decisions and
- 1:27:41Speaker 5: here's how we should build a team. I know the
- 1:27:42Speaker 5: offense enough, I know we got new flavoring here, like
- 1:27:45Speaker 5: who's gonna call what, who's gonna do this? No, you
- 1:27:47Speaker 5: need to lean on me, versus like you know, you
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: go to New York and it's a completely new situation.
- 1:27:52Speaker 4: Scenery, new everything. Yeah, new players. Yeah, yeah, I apologize.
- 1:27:56Speaker 5: What I'm sorry for for butting in there.
- 1:27:59Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure I was trying to have a nice
- 1:28:01Speaker 4: think tank about how why the Packers would walk away
- 1:28:04Speaker 4: one of that right from a coach that's on the
- 1:28:06Speaker 4: field with that much juice. Hall of Famers still has
- 1:28:08Speaker 4: all the juice.
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: Uh Well, I mean I think they're not looking at
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: the short term to the three year plan. They're looking
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: at the long term picture, right, That's what most businesses do.
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: They're not worried about you know that they know that
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: they're going to have probably some growing pains with a new,
- 1:28:24Speaker 1: you know, young quarterback coming in. They felt good enough
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: about him where they were like, Okay, it's time to
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: make this this move, and like we got to look
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: at the next decade two decades, and like, let's be honest,
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: like I don't think are's gonna be playing when he's fifties.
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I don't know he could. I mean, this
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: is a quarterback driven lead. They might you know, you
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: can't touch him anymore.
- 1:28:44Speaker 4: But it seems that the Falcons are trying together packers back.
- 1:28:48Speaker 4: You're thinking long term, Yeah, the Falcons. How crazy was
- 1:28:52Speaker 4: that manch that was?
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: That was insane? Like I couldn't believe it when it happened.
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: I was like, what, Like you just gave Kirk Cousins.
- 1:29:00Speaker 4: Guarantee, Yeah, guaranteed, and you just still got a quarterback.
- 1:29:03Speaker 4: Pedix is a dog. I think that always gets washed
- 1:29:06Speaker 4: away too, because he really is a stud, right, but
- 1:29:09Speaker 4: you just give him a hundred and eighty million dollars.
- 1:29:10Speaker 4: We can't wait a year.
- 1:29:11Speaker 5: Yeah, especially if Kirk plays to that, like gets some player,
- 1:29:15Speaker 5: like they's to become like a good team. You're almost
- 1:29:17Speaker 5: in that exact same situation on do you sign another deal?
- 1:29:20Speaker 5: And then you have this, you have Pennix who is
- 1:29:23Speaker 5: a stud. It was like, you know, everybody understands that
- 1:29:26Speaker 5: they're thinking long term, but even the short term for
- 1:29:29Speaker 5: that guy, like he's gonna he wants to play, like
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: if he develops overtime, it's like, when are you gonna
- 1:29:33Speaker 5: make the They could be in the same sticky.
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: Curse what thirty five though? Right? Curse thirty five?
- 1:29:40Speaker 4: No Achilles Achilles?
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: My bad, That's what I'm meant.
- 1:29:43Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean he's the Achilles. But I don't know.
- 1:29:47Speaker 4: I just feel like I don't know what they're thinking.
- 1:29:51Speaker 4: They It's like the Packers always seem like they had
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: like all the pieces and they's been lucky enough to
- 1:29:56Speaker 4: keep a quarterback in the wings for what the last
- 1:29:59Speaker 4: forty years. It seems like with Atlanta, it's like it's
- 1:30:01Speaker 4: not like you guys are like maybe an old NFC
- 1:30:05Speaker 4: South winners, like champions, like always competing for Super Bowl.
- 1:30:09Speaker 4: Like you're a middle of the pack team right now,
- 1:30:11Speaker 4: in the NFL, Like would you want to add pieces there?
- 1:30:14Speaker 4: What do you got the quarterback thing locked down?
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: But I underlay later they're going they're trying to go
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: that route. Maybe they see like Patrick Mahomes and him
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: sitting here behind Alex Smith and look at what he became, right.
- 1:30:28Speaker 5: Yeah, right, like you never know, you never know.
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: I think that's the hardest thing in the NFL is
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: being a rookie first round quarterback and been expected to
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: walk into the building and beat a guy the CEO
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: from the moment you hit the doors.
- 1:30:42Speaker 4: Like Caleb Williams, you see them just came out and
- 1:30:44Speaker 4: they're like, this is the starting quarterback? Yeah, which is
- 1:30:47Speaker 4: I don't think I've ever seen that done. We're a
- 1:30:50Speaker 4: first overall pick like days after a couple of weeks
- 1:30:52Speaker 4: after the draft, like, yep, quarterback, that's it. That's got
- 1:30:56Speaker 4: to be a crazy amount of pressure, right.
- 1:30:58Speaker 5: And when we were sitting with raw too, like uh,
- 1:31:00Speaker 5: he was alluding to Atlanta struggled when Matt Ryan was done,
- 1:31:04Speaker 5: like when he was on like his last leg, like
- 1:31:06Speaker 5: there wasn't anybody, right. He was just talking about kind
- 1:31:08Speaker 5: of the future, you know, how they decided to make
- 1:31:11Speaker 5: that pick on that draft night. But you have experience
- 1:31:15Speaker 5: now with going into j Lo Jordan love with the Packers,
- 1:31:20Speaker 5: and then also you were around with Aaron and Zach
- 1:31:23Speaker 5: Wilson with the Jets. He was somebody who was expected
- 1:31:25Speaker 5: you got to do the bathroom. I was gonna say,
- 1:31:29Speaker 5: you come into a situation too.
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: You got a cup right there?
- 1:31:31Speaker 4: What's up? Man?
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: I thought this was gonna.
- 1:31:37Speaker 5: Uh yeah, you come into a situation there where it's like, yeah,
- 1:31:40Speaker 5: we watched the hard knocks and juicy hard knocks like
- 1:31:43Speaker 5: uh sala like all of it. It seemed like, yo,
- 1:31:45Speaker 5: you were excited for the Jets because there's they've been
- 1:31:48Speaker 5: such a franchise who just wants to win so badly,
- 1:31:51Speaker 5: a big media market and everything else. You go into
- 1:31:54Speaker 5: that first game and Aaron's down after four plays?
- 1:31:59Speaker 4: How big? Talk about that moment, talk about those few weeks, Well,
- 1:32:04Speaker 4: it was like lead, you guys are like, are coming
- 1:32:06Speaker 4: for it all? Oh?
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: Yeah, Like that was by far the best defense I've
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: ever been around. Like watching them day in and day
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: out in practice, the way that they practice, the way
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: they get to the ball, like I've never seen anything
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: like it. Right, So we knew that the defense was
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: going to be who they were. And again like when
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: went twelve or eight? Is the quarterback? Like you got
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: a chance? We had Brisett running back, who monster monster,
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: Like he's so cold, Like I don't think people realize
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: how good he is, and I hope that, you know,
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: they'll they'll start to see that.
- 1:32:42Speaker 5: B Jon Robinson, we had him on. We interviewed him
- 1:32:45Speaker 5: last week and he his top three running backs, Breese
- 1:32:47Speaker 5: was number two.
- 1:32:48Speaker 4: Yea, so cold. Yeah, he's starting to get on the
- 1:32:51Speaker 4: radar a little bit, but he is nice.
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: So you got you got him at running back Garrett
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: who is freaky at receiver, like he's cold, like he's
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: gonna be he's if Aaron is out there, he's going
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: to have one of those years. Like one of those years.
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: It's like, okay, we see, we see why he's who
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: he is. Yea, but yeah, we were going into a
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: flying high and then four plays in, four plays in
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: like he goes down, he goes to the blue tent.
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: They take him back to the locker room. But like,
- 1:33:25Speaker 1: obviously we're still in the middle of the game. I
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: didn't know what actually happened in a moment, like we
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: didn't have to replay on the sideline. We didn't know,
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: but you ask a trainer. I was asking the trainers.
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: They weren't giving me anything. They didn't say anything. So
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: I'm like, every few minutes, I'm waiting for him to
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: run out the tunnel, you know. I'm like, I don't
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: seen this before. He done went to the locker room,
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: came out in the second half, like so.
- 1:33:44Speaker 4: He was just carrying the flag out there.
- 1:33:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, okay, he's coming back. Where's he at?
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: And then like halftime comes around, Like as soon as
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: the you know, clock his zero, I go sprint to
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: the locker room. I walk into the training room and
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: I see him and like the moment we locked eyes,
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: like I've never seen him cry the way that like
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: they were flowing that night, and like in that moment,
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: I was like, damn, Like it felt like I had
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: lost family, you know what I mean, Like it it
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: felt like I had heard that my brother died, you
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like that was and you and
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: I'm seeing him, man, Like It's just like so much
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: emotion in that moment, and like we still got to
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: go and play the second half, you know, so like
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: but in that moment, like I just felt so bad
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: for him, because I knew how much he had put
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: into this, Like we had talked about getting an apartment
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: in New York, like back in like twenty fourteen, like
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: together together with roommates, not roommates, but like we're going
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: to get a place in the same building, like you know.
- 1:34:47Speaker 4: Like.
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: Yeah you said yeah, yeah, but you know, yeah we
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: were like we were because we've always loved New York,
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: like you know, that's that's always been a place that
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: we've both talked about a lot. Crazy but yeah, but
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: like it's crazy like that that happened, Like we literally
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: manifested that into being and like to see how much
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: work he had put into it, the entire offseason, the
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: entire training camp and like four plays like not even
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: like we're not talking about like four games, four plays,
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: Like for him only to have that experience for four plays, Uh,
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: it was tough. It was. It was a tough moment
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: for him, I know for sure. And like the rest
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: of that season was just like we just trying to
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: hold on our defense playing their ass off, like.
- 1:35:37Speaker 4: Your defense is so good, we get the.
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: Ball back in midfield like think okay, like we like
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: hoping like please, like can we please get a field
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: goal on this drive, like.
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: Do something something the Chiefs early year. Yeah, how was
- 1:35:54Speaker 4: Zach Wilson's mental during that when you're getting the ball
- 1:35:57Speaker 4: at the fifty yard line, you're like, please, God, just
- 1:35:59Speaker 4: get to the five.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I think again, like I talk about
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: with rookie quarterbacks being thrown into the fire, and being
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: thrown into the fire in New York City, the biggest
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: media market potentially in the world, and there's so much
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: hype for us as a team, like those Crows, like
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: they came picking, they came picking us apart from that
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: point on, and like they had picked Zach for three years, right,
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: So now he's you know, he's thrust it back into
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: this position once again, Like it would have been. I
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: would have loved to see him be able to sit
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: back for an entire season and learn and see like
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: he got to see it for a month. But like
- 1:36:39Speaker 1: I would have loved for him to had that opportunity
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: because I think he's very talented. I think he just
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: hadn't he hadn't had that piece of understanding of knowing
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully things are a little different for
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: him in Denver when.
- 1:36:54Speaker 5: On the outside looking in. Obviously Aaron eight being out
- 1:36:57Speaker 5: there is like the glue of the entire operation. Is
- 1:37:00Speaker 5: it the same way internally? Like? Organization wise? Was it
- 1:37:03Speaker 5: much different? Like when Aaron's kind of calling the shots
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: or not calling the shots, but a part of it
- 1:37:07Speaker 5: in a big way leading up to that first game.
- 1:37:09Speaker 5: Toward the rest of the season, now the organization is
- 1:37:11Speaker 5: kind of you know, running around with chickens with their
- 1:37:14Speaker 5: head cut off, Like what was the vibe because obviously
- 1:37:16Speaker 5: everybody has their thoughts on the outside looking in, but
- 1:37:18Speaker 5: what was the vibe on the inside.
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean as players, like we're just trying to win, right,
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: Like we're trying to do everything we can to win.
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: But you know, when you're a little bit of an
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: older player, like you start connecting with more people than
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: just the players because like most of the players that
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: I'm around there, you know, their early twenties, the thing
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: they're doing their thing. Like, I'm spending more time with
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: the people in the weight room, the nutrition staff, the
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: performance you know. So you know, I'm in a training
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: room talking to you know, everyone, like all the trainers
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: and stuff like you just start to like hear bits
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: and pieces from all the different areas and like once
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: you start tying the pieces together and you start seeing
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: you're like, oh wait, I don't seen this before. And
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: it wasn't in Dallas and it wasn't in Green Bay. Yeah, okay, okay.
- 1:38:16Speaker 4: Okay, we're gonna do how do we get traded?
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: No? No, but it was it was like it was
- 1:38:25Speaker 1: really difficult. But I think they put so much into
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: that one season and obviously they made such a big
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: move for Aaron, Like, I think that they were in
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: a very tough spot and I think it was a
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: little bit of PTSD for them as well. Like, you know,
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: it just.
- 1:38:41Speaker 4: Seemed like finally the year for the Jets. Yeah, whatever
- 1:38:45Speaker 4: it is. They be a good team that all New
- 1:38:48Speaker 4: York Americans. Yeah, America's good.
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: For It's coming this year though, It's I think, like
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: I'm I'm very optimistic about the Jets this year. I think,
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: like the pieces that they moved and that they made
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: on the old line, it's gonna be a big, big
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: move for them, a big step.
- 1:39:06Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: The defense is what the defense is. You know, they
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: bring in Mike Williams. They draft a young guy out
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: of Western Kentucky that he looked I mean just a
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: little bit of tape that I seen on him. He
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: looks nice. Uh, Like I said, you got breefes in
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: the backfield, Like the pieces are there once again. We'll
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: see how it plays out.
- 1:39:28Speaker 4: Dude, What was it like when Aaron's done? Like, okay,
- 1:39:31Speaker 4: he's Achilles nine months at least. All of a sudden
- 1:39:35Speaker 4: November heads was clamoring, you're even Thanksgiving Turkey and all
- 1:39:38Speaker 4: of a sudden you're hearing Aaron might actually come back.
- 1:39:41Speaker 4: Like how real was that to you?
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: I was like, there's no way, what were we talking?
- 1:39:46Speaker 4: He got on the practice field. On the practice field
- 1:39:48Speaker 4: that is nuts. Was just.
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: But listen, you gotta understand too, like he was that
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: entire time, Like he went back to l A and
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: he was doing his rehab in l A. So we
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: would only see him on some Sundays. He would fly
- 1:40:03Speaker 1: in for the game. You know, sometimes he would meet us,
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: like he met us in Vegas for the game. So
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: we were seeing bits and pieces like we didn't know
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: like where he actually was and like we keep hearing
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: this and like, yeah, you can throw a ball, like
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: you're standing there throwing the ball, you're not really moving around.
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: But when he comes back and he like, is actually practicing.
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: I think everyone was like, wait, hold on, Like if
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: we could have won just like a couple more games.
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: I really do believe if we were in contention at
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: that point, that he could have played Like that is.
- 1:40:34Speaker 4: So you really believe I really could.
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: Have played a game I would in a wild card
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: game without a doubt. He would have been able to
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: play Rogers Okay, playoff game in twenty fourteen. He had
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: a pulled calf. We couldn't do anything under center. We
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: were in the pistol and the gun. Everything was out
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: of the pistol and gun. He was like, I'm just
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: saying we would have been able to have him on
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: the field. He would have been able to play. Would
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: it have been smart for him? No, but he could
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: have played. If you I wish that somebody could pull
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: the practice tape so y'all could see some of the
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: throws that he was making the last week of practice
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: against the starting Jets. Right now, I'm telling you that
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: he could have played in the planning off his back foot,
- 1:41:24Speaker 1: planting off his throws.
- 1:41:28Speaker 5: Is he the best player you've ever been around?
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: Without a doubt, Like it's not even close, Like who's second? Okay, yeah,
- 1:41:37Speaker 1: without a doubt.
- 1:41:38Speaker 4: Oh we had two without a doubts. About three is
- 1:41:41Speaker 4: of doubt at three. No, that's all right, now, it
- 1:41:46Speaker 4: took you that long. It can't be without those two.
- 1:41:49Speaker 1: Those two are a different caliber of player. And I
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: saw Aaron at his height and take it to another level.
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: I saw Tate when he came into the league and
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: what he's built up to. So it's two different tracks,
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: but they're both plateauing at the same level. Hall of
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: Fame put that jelly jacket on him, like that's the
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: type of players that they are.
- 1:42:13Speaker 4: Do you think people are sleeping on Taen now, because
- 1:42:15Speaker 4: the last couple of years in the Raiders.
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: I don't think people sleep on him. I just don't
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: think that they get the TV time because like he's
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: playing with the Raiders.
- 1:42:22Speaker 5: And he's not in twelve's not the quarterback.
- 1:42:25Speaker 1: And twelve's not the quarterback. But I mean what he's
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: done without twelve goes to.
- 1:42:29Speaker 4: Show like he's an absolute study. He's a whole fame.
- 1:42:32Speaker 4: We're just like you're saying, yeah, but I just feel
- 1:42:34Speaker 4: like we're at the Raiders. Was zigg and stuff like that.
- 1:42:37Speaker 4: He just it seemed like he wasn't getting the ball enough,
- 1:42:39Speaker 4: Like there was all these things coming out. Yeah, I
- 1:42:41Speaker 4: won't want you feed a guy like that twenty four
- 1:42:43Speaker 4: to seven. You would think you take that boy to
- 1:42:46Speaker 4: Golden Corral.
- 1:42:48Speaker 1: But they did that. They did that once once the
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: new head coach took over. After they after they fired mcdangels,
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: like he started getting his pieces again. But yeah, I
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: like watching them too. Whenever I came back, it was
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: like I love ball. I love the in and out.
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: I love the x'es and o's, I love the film,
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: like the way that they talk about ball, like and
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: that's the one thing when you're around Aaron, like if
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: you on his respect, you got to know the game.
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: Like you can be talented as all get out, but
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: like I need you to understand that you're third in
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: the progression, Like you can't be getting out of your
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: route too soon and be open and like expect me
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: to get you the ball Like I am going through
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: my progression. I need you there. I need you to
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: be there at a certain time, get open at a
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: certain time. And like I don't know if you've ever
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: seen that clip of Cooper Cup after the game where
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: he's talking about like what he saw and play and
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: like he's diagnosing the defense and he's breaking it down.
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: That isn't that is a weekend, week out thing in
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: Green Bay. That's just how we talk ball. That's how
- 1:43:54Speaker 1: we break it down. Like if you are one of
- 1:43:56Speaker 1: the guys, like you got to be on your exes
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: and o's, you got to be on your film study.
- 1:44:01Speaker 1: And I'll never forget there was a there was a
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: practice in twenty one when I came back and Tay
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: went over to air and he was like, hey, like,
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: did you see did you see the Rams play? I
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: think it was played twenty seven? It was cover three
- 1:44:18Speaker 1: they did this, and they're like in the middle of
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: practice talking about, oh, this is gonna be a moment
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: during this game. And then we get to Sunday and
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: we get that exact presentation and the play is exactly
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: the way that they talked about it right there in
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: that moment. Like that's just a next level of IQ
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: in the game, and that's the difference between the elite
- 1:44:41Speaker 1: quarterbacks and like that second tier. Like when I talked
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: to Brandon Cooks about his time with Breeze and Brady,
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: Like it's those conversations that's being had rather than just
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: being the play call and no one that can and
- 1:44:56Speaker 1: no like it's it's a lot more depth to the game.
- 1:45:00Speaker 5: God that gets me horn.
- 1:45:03Speaker 4: There's nothing better than schematically You're going over something all
- 1:45:06Speaker 4: week like this will come up, this will come up,
- 1:45:08Speaker 4: and the moment it comes up in a game and
- 1:45:11Speaker 4: everyone realizes like, holy shit, this is what they said
- 1:45:14Speaker 4: it was going to be and executing.
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: But it's not the coaches though? Is the difference?
- 1:45:18Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: These are we talking about two Hall of Fame caliber
- 1:45:21Speaker 1: players talking about it.
- 1:45:23Speaker 4: Here's would have loved Ben Jones would have loved to
- 1:45:27Speaker 4: the Jets last year? You know he didn't. I think
- 1:45:36Speaker 4: I know up top, I guess in the middle, Okay,
- 1:45:40Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, thing Roh was talking
- 1:45:44Speaker 4: about him. Hey, I'll tell you what I know. We're
- 1:45:49Speaker 4: kind of talking as if people don't know who we're
- 1:45:51Speaker 4: talking about, which you'll probably figure it out. I know
- 1:45:53Speaker 4: the amount of players from the Jets that hit me
- 1:45:56Speaker 4: up that were not just in that position group, but
- 1:45:59Speaker 4: other position groups been like is it always like this?
- 1:46:02Speaker 4: And I had to just politely be like, yes, good luck.
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: Can I put it out there?
- 1:46:05Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't care. I publicly said it, So it's
- 1:46:08Speaker 4: all good.
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: It's so funny because like we would run I want
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: to say it was either a screen or outside zone
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: or something. But every time they would have to run
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: to the numbers two strips, and every time they got
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: to the numbers, they'd be like and run back to
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: the huddle. And I was like, what the what the
- 1:46:30Speaker 1: fuck are they talking about?
- 1:46:31Speaker 7: What?
- 1:46:31Speaker 4: Like?
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: I kept asking everybody right there why. I was like,
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: what is going on? Later in the season, I finally
- 1:46:39Speaker 1: figured out what it was, but like, yeah, like it's.
- 1:46:43Speaker 5: People don't like coach.
- 1:46:47Speaker 4: I legitimately tried to fight him his first year at
- 1:46:49Speaker 4: the Tights. I actually Dennis Kelly held me back from
- 1:46:52Speaker 4: trying to fight this man. It was that it was
- 1:46:55Speaker 4: that difficulty situation. He is a beauty, but it really
- 1:47:00Speaker 4: it was crazy to me because he kind of went
- 1:47:01Speaker 4: and he got better with the Titans, so I thought, Okay,
- 1:47:04Speaker 4: he's on a good path, let him go. Yeah, and
- 1:47:07Speaker 4: I started, literally I think it was like the first week,
- 1:47:10Speaker 4: like the last week of July, first week of August.
- 1:47:12Speaker 4: I started getting dms from players, offensive lineman, running backs,
- 1:47:17Speaker 4: tight ends.
- 1:47:18Speaker 5: How did you do this?
- 1:47:19Speaker 4: Yeah? Like is he always liked this?
- 1:47:21Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I wonder how Ty Smith that run.
- 1:47:26Speaker 4: Bro, there's no way that well, there's no way he's
- 1:47:30Speaker 4: heading that well. Yeah, two stripes all the time. Just
- 1:47:35Speaker 4: it's I hate, I hate talking nasty. Yeah, but it
- 1:47:40Speaker 4: truly is like sometimes guys that just haven't played the
- 1:47:43Speaker 4: game in that position just don't understand. It's three and
- 1:47:47Speaker 4: ten pounds plus all that running affects you negatively. There's
- 1:47:52Speaker 4: a return after a while, but after you know it's
- 1:47:56Speaker 4: only a certain amount of running, you're actually getting hurt
- 1:47:58Speaker 4: more than you're helping. Especially week eight, we nine, when
- 1:48:00Speaker 4: you're not seeing the end of the season.
- 1:48:02Speaker 1: Take care of you guys.
- 1:48:03Speaker 4: Take care of your guys, Guys, you've got to otherwise
- 1:48:05Speaker 4: dudes will get hurt, especially off it's the line. They've
- 1:48:08Speaker 4: got to be in shape. But there's smart ways to
- 1:48:09Speaker 4: keep dudes in shape without busting the had.
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: That situation with the Titans right where, didn't I see
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: like a stat where there's been like the most guys on.
- 1:48:16Speaker 4: I row, Oh yeah, record in ninety was it twenty
- 1:48:20Speaker 4: or twenty one? Twenty? It was back to back. It
- 1:48:23Speaker 4: was the year you guys I think went to the
- 1:48:26Speaker 4: AFC Championship no, no, no, twenty twenty. We're talking about the
- 1:48:29Speaker 4: year where you went down with your first ACO. But
- 1:48:31Speaker 4: even I think twenty twenty one was the first year
- 1:48:33Speaker 4: we set a record for most players played on one team.
- 1:48:35Speaker 4: It was like five or something like that.
- 1:48:38Speaker 5: Twenty twenty one, Yeah, most players use with ninety one,
- 1:48:41Speaker 5: and then followed up that year with eighty six players
- 1:48:43Speaker 5: using twenty twenty the second most.
- 1:48:45Speaker 4: And we're talking about like soft We're not just talking
- 1:48:47Speaker 4: about ligament. We're talk about soft tish, like dude, just
- 1:48:50Speaker 4: it's just tough, man, and it's hard enough, you know
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: how it is small. I have a kink in my
- 1:48:54Speaker 4: neck from sleeping wrong last night, let alone playing a
- 1:48:56Speaker 4: damn season and just watching you that makes me so
- 1:48:59Speaker 4: sick I can barely look left right. I know, bro,
- 1:49:03Speaker 4: it is. It's crazy how the dudes that have played
- 1:49:06Speaker 4: it and are now teaching it understand that part. And
- 1:49:10Speaker 4: it's such a crucial part of football is when you
- 1:49:12Speaker 4: get to that age, once you hit let's just say
- 1:49:15Speaker 4: twenty five years old. I don't know what the benchmark is,
- 1:49:17Speaker 4: but let's just say it's twenty five. You have to
- 1:49:19Speaker 4: be smarter about the way you train and the way
- 1:49:20Speaker 4: you practice. It's not a toughness thing, it's not an
- 1:49:22Speaker 4: effort thing. It's finding ways to give the effort when
- 1:49:25Speaker 4: it counts, and that is like one of the most
- 1:49:27Speaker 4: difficult things for coaches to figure out. I feel like,
- 1:49:29Speaker 4: which goes along with our conversation about Keith Carter even
- 1:49:33Speaker 4: like winning, like even winning the room, and like leaving,
- 1:49:35Speaker 4: like there are times to be gritty, like hey, I
- 1:49:37Speaker 4: know this.
- 1:49:37Speaker 5: Sucks, but trust me, trust me, trust me, And then
- 1:49:40Speaker 5: there's times to pull backward. It's like, hey, being gritty
- 1:49:42Speaker 5: right now might not be the move. It might be
- 1:49:44Speaker 5: a little more detrimental than.
- 1:49:45Speaker 4: And that was the thing. It was like all gas,
- 1:49:46Speaker 4: no breaks, all time, which is awesome. If you're watching
- 1:49:49Speaker 4: Remember the Titans, that's a fantasical you're watching it, we're
- 1:49:52Speaker 4: watching watching it.
- 1:49:54Speaker 1: That way for me.
- 1:49:56Speaker 4: For me, that's great sports. And you you haven't watched
- 1:49:59Speaker 4: everything Goon, I haven't Taylor Taylor, Yeah, he's not big
- 1:50:02Speaker 4: on Remember the Titans. Yeah, but also chick Flay was
- 1:50:07Speaker 4: overplayed for me and we had to Flay the other
- 1:50:09Speaker 4: day and it shit's fire. Yeah, so I maybe need
- 1:50:11Speaker 4: to go rewatch it. That said, I don't remember what
- 1:50:14Speaker 4: I was saying, it's hard, dude, It's fucking hard playing
- 1:50:17Speaker 4: in the NFL. It really is. And it sucks when
- 1:50:20Speaker 4: you get older and you find you for the first time,
- 1:50:22Speaker 4: you feel damn, I'm a little bit older. Hey, I'm
- 1:50:25Speaker 4: not recovering as fast as I used to recover.
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: It's a real thing.
- 1:50:28Speaker 4: It's a real thing, and it's just staying ahead of
- 1:50:31Speaker 4: the chains. And when you have somebody that's hurting you
- 1:50:33Speaker 4: more than helping you, it is the most difficult ship.
- 1:50:35Speaker 1: What is the most important day of the week Sunday Sunday. Yes,
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: Like we should always be building up to Sunday. You
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: should know who you have in your room. You should
- 1:50:45Speaker 1: know your guys. You should know what they need and
- 1:50:48Speaker 1: what they don't need. Like as a coach, like you
- 1:50:51Speaker 1: should be looking at that. That's why I always like,
- 1:50:54Speaker 1: I got so much love for Sanjay shout out out there,
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: my receiver coach in Dallas. Like when I got to like,
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: I had hamstring issues, they put they put me on
- 1:51:03Speaker 1: a hamstring program that I was doing, uh every week,
- 1:51:08Speaker 1: but in practice, like I would practice Wednesday, no, I practice,
- 1:51:15Speaker 1: I would practice just individual on Wednesday. So coming off
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: a game play Sunday, you know whatever, on Monday, Tuesday,
- 1:51:24Speaker 1: off day, Wednesday. He would give me an extra little
- 1:51:27Speaker 1: extra time to recover, so I would just do individual
- 1:51:29Speaker 1: and when we got the team periods, like I was
- 1:51:31Speaker 1: just holding the script, like being able to go through
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: the place mentally stay there right. And then on Thursday, Thursday, Thursday,
- 1:51:41Speaker 1: I was on a show. Yeah, like I was on
- 1:51:43Speaker 1: a snap count, like you know, I had so many reps.
- 1:51:45Speaker 1: And then on Friday was like, that's my gas day.
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: I'm going on Friday, even though it's fast Friday, so
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: his practice is shorter. He knew exactly what I needed
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: on my legs.
- 1:51:55Speaker 4: You run the red zone real quick at full speed
- 1:51:56Speaker 4: there through the rest of the practice exactly down that
- 1:52:00Speaker 4: you gotta, you know, you to give them that little move.
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: We get the Sunday, like I felt like like later
- 1:52:05Speaker 1: in my career and Dallas was like it was it
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: was gold, Like that was that was a perfect setup
- 1:52:12Speaker 1: for me, and like I basically carried that with me
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: the rest of my career after that, Like he gave
- 1:52:16Speaker 1: me that piece and when I went back to Green Bay,
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: and maybe that was one of the reasons they wanted
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: to grind us out like maybe that was one of
- 1:52:23Speaker 1: the reasons they thought that I couldn't go because I
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: was like, no, I need, like this is what I
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: need because Sunday is the most important day. Like you
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: need some managements in the game practice.
- 1:52:37Speaker 4: Yeah, but we'll talk about that when you go from
- 1:52:42Speaker 4: like all right, Green Bay, Dallas, Dallas, Houston, Houston, Green Bay.
- 1:52:46Speaker 4: How are you telling them this is what I need
- 1:52:49Speaker 4: without sounding like it's tough to say that without sounding
- 1:52:51Speaker 4: like a bitch. Sometimes do you at least feel like
- 1:52:52Speaker 4: you sound like a bitch, Like hey.
- 1:52:54Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, definitely. I just I told them my history,
- 1:52:58Speaker 1: like the same way that go to the training staff
- 1:53:01Speaker 1: or the strength conditioning. I haven't squatted since two thousand
- 1:53:04Speaker 1: and nine. I have a fa set dysfunction, like and
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: my facet in my back will get locked up, so
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: like I haven't backsquatted since two thousand and nine. My
- 1:53:15Speaker 1: entire NFL career, I never backsquatted, Like there's a reason
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: for it, Like there's a reason that I couldn't Like, so,
- 1:53:24Speaker 1: I mean we made it work, and like it was great.
- 1:53:27Speaker 1: My career worked out, so like it is what it
- 1:53:31Speaker 1: is right at the end of the day, like try
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: to give that conversation, like you know.
- 1:53:37Speaker 4: It's tough. Then when you hang up the back squad
- 1:53:39Speaker 4: at first you love it. You're like, damn, I never
- 1:53:41Speaker 4: have to back squad again. Yeah, and then after a
- 1:53:43Speaker 4: while it kind of like I want to squad.
- 1:53:46Speaker 1: Yeah. See, I like press, I do heavy like press.
- 1:53:49Speaker 4: You pitch your guy too? Yeah, I love the pitch. Sure,
- 1:53:52Speaker 4: you're about you do that little thing where you kind
- 1:53:53Speaker 4: of keep it la straight and do the bounce back
- 1:53:55Speaker 4: and forth you see, you know, and the pitch shark.
- 1:54:00Speaker 4: I never liked the pitch shark. I'll tell you what
- 1:54:02Speaker 4: I liked was We're foot elevated Legends. That was my
- 1:54:06Speaker 4: favorite exercise. We had did this French eccentric exercises in Vanderbilt,
- 1:54:10Speaker 4: the French contrast. Yes, and that was probably my favorite
- 1:54:13Speaker 4: training program I've ever had.
- 1:54:15Speaker 1: How much were working out now?
- 1:54:17Speaker 4: I mean, come on, we get e tail us.
- 1:54:19Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, that's what I'm asking.
- 1:54:23Speaker 4: Try to stay lean well, I mean we hit it.
- 1:54:25Speaker 4: Try to do you try to do a little.
- 1:54:26Speaker 1: Something every day.
- 1:54:28Speaker 4: Whether the weekends that happens or not is whatever. But
- 1:54:31Speaker 4: Monday through Friday, you're pretty conscious, intentional about getting the upper,
- 1:54:35Speaker 4: getting a lower, getting some conditioning, getting your son, getting
- 1:54:38Speaker 4: your cold tub, like just staying ahead of the change
- 1:54:40Speaker 4: of life now because now you're thinking about you take
- 1:54:43Speaker 4: all the hits, like you're talking about your kids. You
- 1:54:45Speaker 4: think I've taken all these head hits, the shoulder, the knee,
- 1:54:48Speaker 4: the ankle, whatever it is, and you're like, how do
- 1:54:50Speaker 4: I not Just you see like older people walking into
- 1:54:52Speaker 4: the grocery store and you're like, god, damn, I don't
- 1:54:55Speaker 4: want that. And you look at the guy you keep
- 1:54:56Speaker 4: probably never played football. So you just kind of want
- 1:54:59Speaker 4: to stay ahead of all tho stuff. If you want
- 1:55:00Speaker 4: to feel good, you obviously want to look good, and
- 1:55:02Speaker 4: then everything in between.
- 1:55:03Speaker 5: It's like, no matter what if it feels like the
- 1:55:05Speaker 5: ideal situation every week trying to like exercise and get
- 1:55:08Speaker 5: out there like five times, like today, Taylor's in there
- 1:55:12Speaker 5: working with lower body. Right, he was in there getting
- 1:55:14Speaker 5: after a lower body. Either way, he was in there
- 1:55:15Speaker 5: getting after it. And I worked out the two days
- 1:55:18Speaker 5: on the weekend, so I kind of, you know, my
- 1:55:19Speaker 5: garment right now says overreaching, So I need to I
- 1:55:22Speaker 5: need to work on.
- 1:55:23Speaker 4: Some recovery living.
- 1:55:24Speaker 5: So I'm in there while Taylor's working out the whole time,
- 1:55:25Speaker 5: and I'm just doing incline walks like Zone two cardio,
- 1:55:28Speaker 5: thirty minutes of pop. Get some Zone two Cardio on
- 1:55:31Speaker 5: my life.
- 1:55:31Speaker 4: But you know we're getting those little garments, like for me,
- 1:55:35Speaker 4: did you ever get better an or ring? For in football?
- 1:55:39Speaker 4: Whenever I had those, I would have the or ring.
- 1:55:42Speaker 4: I remember one season I wore like the first four
- 1:55:44Speaker 4: weeks of the season, but I would wake up on
- 1:55:45Speaker 4: Sunday and he'd be like, my sleep level was like
- 1:55:47Speaker 4: a fifty. I'd be like, oh, maybe I'm not ready
- 1:55:51Speaker 4: for the game. This, that and the other. To the portal.
- 1:55:53Speaker 4: I had to take it off. I was I cannot Yeah,
- 1:55:55Speaker 4: I can't handle this. I can't handle them. I can't
- 1:55:57Speaker 4: tape the whoop down. Yeah. I just couldn't. It's too much.
- 1:56:02Speaker 4: It's too much, you know I built like that. I wasn't.
- 1:56:05Speaker 5: Yeah I had uh, I had one more for you
- 1:56:08Speaker 5: now that he's no longer with the team. But how
- 1:56:11Speaker 5: dramatic was it?
- 1:56:13Speaker 4: Was?
- 1:56:13Speaker 5: It as dramatic as it seems with Zach Wilson in
- 1:56:15Speaker 5: the middle of the year stuff to where it's like
- 1:56:17Speaker 5: we're trying to text him to get back. I think
- 1:56:18Speaker 5: he left at one point the mom stuff. But also
- 1:56:21Speaker 5: I think he left at one point and they had
- 1:56:23Speaker 5: to get him to come back. What he knows what
- 1:56:26Speaker 5: I'm talking about.
- 1:56:26Speaker 1: Let's what's going on, right, what happened?
- 1:56:32Speaker 4: We're not going back? We might go back there. Yeah,
- 1:56:35Speaker 4: he left. Yeah, it was it pretty dramatic.
- 1:56:39Speaker 1: I think in the media was more dramatic than it
- 1:56:41Speaker 1: actually was.
- 1:56:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:56:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that they had told them
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: told him that they were going to trade him an
- 1:56:48Speaker 1: off season, and then they benched him, and then they
- 1:56:52Speaker 1: wanted him to play again, and then they try to
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: blame him for not wanting to play. But you just
- 1:56:57Speaker 1: told him that you're going to trade.
- 1:56:58Speaker 4: Him, Like it was just a lot of politics go on.

- 1:57:58Speaker 1: About that life having fun, not so much the ball part,
- 1:58:02Speaker 1: but the life part.
- 1:58:03Speaker 5: Friendship.
- 1:58:04Speaker 4: You don't have to be the best player.
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: Friends you had best friends had in the locker of room.

- 1:58:29Speaker 1: him outside of football, like as far as being a
- 1:58:31Speaker 1: dad and that kind of thing. So I'm gonna start
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: with him there. Two for me probably Brandon Cooks. Cooks
- 1:58:42Speaker 1: was one of my guys, like me and him kick
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: it like in Houston. We were there together going through
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: the same thing. So like we got you know, we
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: got a lot, We got a lot to hold on
- 1:58:53Speaker 1: to when it comes to that.
- 1:58:54Speaker 4: And then one.
- 1:58:58Speaker 1: Y'all are saying not to do who y'all know who
- 1:59:01Speaker 1: I want to put there. But I'm you know, I'm
- 1:59:03Speaker 1: I'm gonna go another route, and I'm gonna say, probably
- 1:59:08Speaker 1: don't even know this guy. DJ Williams. He was with me,
- 1:59:11Speaker 1: we got drafted together in Green Bay and you know,
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: young draft draftee's coming in together in the Green Bay.
- 1:59:18Speaker 1: Like we got some good time, some good stories from
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: back in the day.
- 1:59:22Speaker 5: Damn was DJ linebacker?
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: No tight end he played, Yeah he was. He was
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: a tight end out of Arkansas.
- 1:59:29Speaker 4: Did you tell him not to put Aaron in there? Yeah?
- 1:59:31Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just we know he's God, that's your.
- 1:59:35Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers.
- 1:59:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's my guy. That's my guy. Yes, boy,
- 1:59:38Speaker 1: I was trying not to go you know, interesting.
- 1:59:41Speaker 4: For me to hear your list and not hear the
- 1:59:44Speaker 4: name David Baktiari. I thought he's gonna give me some ship,
- 1:59:48Speaker 4: He's will give me some ship.
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: But me and him got I got a bone to
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: pick with him right now because they went to Derby,
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: and I normally go to Derby, but we had a
- 1:59:57Speaker 1: family trip that was planned that I forg got about Derby.
- 2:00:00Speaker 1: So okay, the family trip. Then I couldn't go to Derby.
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: And you know, so so who you so yeah yeah yeah, no, no, no, yourself,
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: you're mad at myself. I got a bone to pick
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: with him.
- 2:00:13Speaker 5: To pick with his honestly, probably his wife.
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: Yeah, but I gotta put it on somebody.
- 2:00:20Speaker 4: We're not taking that accountability. It could be somebody else's
- 2:00:22Speaker 4: problem today, because then when you do find out Derby,
- 2:00:25Speaker 4: it's kind of like, hey, yeah, I'm sweet, here's where
- 2:00:28Speaker 4: we kind of messed up.
- 2:00:29Speaker 5: But honestly, we're gonna do the family trip.
- 2:00:30Speaker 4: Yeah. So what's the bone with with back that you're
- 2:00:34Speaker 4: actually picking with on him off?
- 2:00:38Speaker 5: No?
- 2:00:39Speaker 1: Yeah, well I was in a group chat the whole time,
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: so I know everything that was going on, So I
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: got to see and feel like I was there, but
- 2:00:45Speaker 1: I wasn't there. Uh but yeah, yeah, I got a
- 2:00:47Speaker 1: bone to pick with you. So we're gonna talk about
- 2:00:50Speaker 1: it this week when I'll see you, all.
- 2:00:51Speaker 4: Right, not even in the pond. We have to find
- 2:00:58Speaker 4: out yours. You want me to go, you can go.
- 2:01:00Speaker 4: Oh wait, wait, I had one question. Oh yeah, Brandon Cooks.
- 2:01:03Speaker 5: He's somebody who's bounced around the league a lot, but
- 2:01:05Speaker 5: always has like a thousand yard seasons. Like it always
- 2:01:08Speaker 5: seems like if he's somebody who is having that those
- 2:01:11Speaker 5: productive of years, like he would be somewhere longer term.
- 2:01:14Speaker 5: Is there reasons for that other than just like one
- 2:01:16Speaker 5: year at a time, contract situations and him wanning you know,
- 2:01:19Speaker 5: maybe something a little different contract.
- 2:01:21Speaker 4: I couldn't.
- 2:01:22Speaker 5: I'm always so curious about that.
- 2:01:23Speaker 1: I couldn't give you the understanding from a business side
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: standpoint that maybe gms and agents are trying to figure
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: out as far as like numbers and cap hitt and
- 2:01:32Speaker 1: all that kind of thing. But I can tell you that,
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: like he's one of my favorite teammates. The way that
- 2:01:37Speaker 1: he works, like the way that he practices, the things
- 2:01:40Speaker 1: he does after practice, the way that he takes care
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: of his body like he does everything that you would
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: want your guy to do. Like is he like small, Yeah,
- 2:01:52Speaker 1: like he's small, but he's like he plays big. Yeah,
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he has monster years.
- 2:01:58Speaker 7: You know.
- 2:01:58Speaker 1: I love his worth ethic, I love his knowledge of
- 2:02:01Speaker 1: the game. I love the way that he goes about
- 2:02:04Speaker 1: his business. So I couldn't tell you the reason why.
- 2:02:07Speaker 1: And I saw him in year I don't know what
- 2:02:10Speaker 1: year that. That was twenty twenty, So that's the year
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: six for him, I believe. So I couldn't tell you
- 2:02:15Speaker 1: what led up to the many trades at that point,
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: but like I got to experience him in year six,
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: and I have nothing bad to say about him as
- 2:02:26Speaker 1: a teammate.
- 2:02:27Speaker 4: Respect. I love that respect. I'm up. Okay, I'm gonna
- 2:02:32Speaker 4: give two honorable mentions. Those those honorable mentions are going
- 2:02:37Speaker 4: to go to hard. It's just really hard because you
- 2:02:40Speaker 4: know what I'm doing. I don't know if you did that,
- 2:02:42Speaker 4: you actually did that pretty fast. For me, I think
- 2:02:44Speaker 4: about the end of my career as opposed to like
- 2:02:46Speaker 4: the beginning of my career. As I'm going back to
- 2:02:47Speaker 4: the begining of my career, I'm like, oh, damn, there
- 2:02:49Speaker 4: was this guy that this guy, but uh. I'll give
- 2:02:52Speaker 4: an honorable mention to Corey Levin and Jordan Rus two
- 2:02:57Speaker 4: offensive linemen. Two just gritty white cats that were locker
- 2:03:03Speaker 4: room vibes, good dudes to hang out with always, not
- 2:03:06Speaker 4: always with a smile on their face. But like Corey,
- 2:03:09Speaker 4: type of individual who thinks fast but talks real slow.
- 2:03:12Speaker 4: Went to Chattanooga, Like everything he says is in slow motion.
- 2:03:16Speaker 4: But he's got this humor about him. He just kind
- 2:03:18Speaker 4: of love to be around him, and he's always down
- 2:03:19Speaker 4: and have a conversation regardless. Jordan. I just the thing
- 2:03:24Speaker 4: I love about Jordan is he looks like a have
- 2:03:27Speaker 4: you like a little couple too many pounds Viking, like
- 2:03:31Speaker 4: a long beard, long hair. He is who he is
- 2:03:35Speaker 4: and he doesn't stray away from that, but he has
- 2:03:37Speaker 4: a good time. Like he's got these weird quirks. We
- 2:03:39Speaker 4: would play like this, this song Christmas is a Coming
- 2:03:42Speaker 4: by being Crosby, and he just decided he doesn't like
- 2:03:45Speaker 4: Christmas music and we would have it on repeat from
- 2:03:47Speaker 4: Thanksgiving to Christmas, and it was just him getting annoyed
- 2:03:51Speaker 4: by it, but also having fun with it and just
- 2:03:53Speaker 4: stirring the pot with him all the time. I really
- 2:03:55Speaker 4: enjoyed him, so I have to give them an honorable mention.
- 2:03:58Speaker 4: My tear.
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: Fuck, and you put a lot of song into this.
- 2:04:10Speaker 1: Well it's dropped.
- 2:04:15Speaker 5: I'm gonna come off the top fairly quick. I was like, damn, no, friends,
- 2:04:23Speaker 5: I'm gonna give my Tier three.
- 2:04:26Speaker 4: I want to give it to Derek, but I feel
- 2:04:29Speaker 4: like there was the play aspect played a lot into
- 2:04:31Speaker 4: that as well. Yeah, so I'll keep very smart of
- 2:04:34Speaker 4: you to throw his name in there s that clip.
- 2:04:39Speaker 4: You gotta watch the whole thing. H Tier three. I'm
- 2:04:46Speaker 4: gonna go Dennis Kelly offensive Lineman. Uh, we all know,
- 2:04:51Speaker 4: we all love him.
- 2:04:53Speaker 1: He is.
- 2:04:55Speaker 4: The devil when it comes to conversations because everything's Devil's advocate.
- 2:04:58Speaker 4: He could actually agree with you, but he's just gonna
- 2:04:59Speaker 4: take the conversation and be like, well what about this?
- 2:05:01Speaker 4: And sometimes you're in the mood for it, and sometimes
- 2:05:03Speaker 4: you're not. What is that called the contrarian? Yeah, I
- 2:05:06Speaker 4: guess the contrary that I haven't said.
- 2:05:08Speaker 1: I think can you spell contrarian?
- 2:05:11Speaker 4: Please?
- 2:05:12Speaker 5: I can't contrarian? Jack be ready to contrary?
- 2:05:17Speaker 4: C O N T R A R I A N.
- 2:05:29Speaker 4: Let's see here we go.
- 2:05:30Speaker 5: Are we gonna remember those letters contrarian.
- 2:05:35Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, now, let's go on.
- 2:05:39Speaker 1: Oh yeah, here.
- 2:05:41Speaker 5: We'll come up with something. Yeah, salt pepper action.
- 2:05:45Speaker 4: My Tier two is gonna go to Ben Jones. And
- 2:05:51Speaker 4: this is a very unique I'm actually flipping them Ben.
- 2:05:54Speaker 4: It's gonna be my three Dennis. I know, I know,
- 2:05:57Speaker 4: I know, but here's why hard life. When I first
- 2:06:00Speaker 4: met Ben, I did not like Ben. I thought Ben
- 2:06:04Speaker 4: was a people pleasing, corporate guy who played both sides
- 2:06:08Speaker 4: but told the coaches things. I didn't trust Ben.
- 2:06:10Speaker 5: And he's right, because that's what when Taylor was briefing
- 2:06:12Speaker 5: me on the roster when I first got to Tennessee.
- 2:06:14Speaker 5: That was the thing on Ben.
- 2:06:15Speaker 4: You weren't a big fan of No, I wasn't a
- 2:06:16Speaker 4: big fan of Ben thought. I thought he because I
- 2:06:19Speaker 4: was a teacher with the boys type of guy like
- 2:06:21Speaker 4: I was. I messed with the coaches, but I also
- 2:06:24Speaker 4: was like, those guys are the enemy. Also, we got
- 2:06:26Speaker 4: to watch out for them, but trying to get us
- 2:06:28Speaker 4: all and so we got a band together, boys and
- 2:06:30Speaker 4: do what they say, but always, you know, watch a six.
- 2:06:33Speaker 4: Ben didn't feel that way. He kind of went back
- 2:06:35Speaker 4: and forth, best friends with everybody, and I just didn't
- 2:06:37Speaker 4: trust it. Towards the end of my career, I grew
- 2:06:40Speaker 4: to truly appreciate Ben Jones because he was not only
- 2:06:43Speaker 4: for the boys, he was also helping by talking to
- 2:06:47Speaker 4: the coaches. He was so integrated into the culture of
- 2:06:50Speaker 4: the Titans that it was like another coach that had
- 2:06:52Speaker 4: a voice with the other coaches. So it did help
- 2:06:54Speaker 4: us out in return. Great conversationalist, gets along with everybody.
- 2:06:57Speaker 4: He's kind of like a gatekeeper. Great job. It doesn't
- 2:07:01Speaker 4: matter where you came from in life. Ben brings everybody
- 2:07:03Speaker 4: around and he's a He's a massive gloup, especially because
- 2:07:05Speaker 4: our offensive line room we had guys kind of leave
- 2:07:08Speaker 4: go through their Houston process whether it was Houston or not,
- 2:07:10Speaker 4: but they would come back and be black. Brother, you
- 2:07:12Speaker 4: have no idea how good you guys have it here.
- 2:07:14Speaker 4: We had like one of the best offensive line rooms
- 2:07:16Speaker 4: maybe of all time, and it was because of Ben Jones.
- 2:07:19Speaker 4: Like so I'll give I'll give Ben my Tier three nod,
- 2:07:22Speaker 4: putting Dennis at Tier two. Uh oh, excited to hear
- 2:07:29Speaker 4: this one. I don't know who it is is.
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: Really, it's not you.
- 2:07:33Speaker 4: No. We said before the pod that we were going
- 2:07:35Speaker 4: to exclude each other. Oh yeah, you have to because
- 2:07:37Speaker 4: will would be probably be my honorable mention at the
- 2:07:39Speaker 4: very least. Yeah, this is so much harder. It's crazy.
- 2:07:51Speaker 5: You have the other you had the other two and
- 2:07:53Speaker 5: talked about so well, but you don't know who your
- 2:07:55Speaker 5: number one is.
- 2:07:55Speaker 4: I know, and I think I'm actually going to yeah,
- 2:07:59Speaker 4: because I thought I had more dames in my head.
- 2:08:00Speaker 4: But now that I'm really getting to it, I.
- 2:08:02Speaker 1: Was like, doesn't have friends?
- 2:08:03Speaker 5: Yeah, he kind of doesn't.
- 2:08:08Speaker 4: Oh man, I'm gonna have to elevate everybody. I'll put
- 2:08:13Speaker 4: Dennis at one, Bennett two.
- 2:08:17Speaker 5: Oh man, I thought Mett might be in there.
- 2:08:21Speaker 4: I thought about metten Berger, and I'll tell you why
- 2:08:23Speaker 4: I didn't put him in there. In a second, after
- 2:08:27Speaker 4: I figure out who's who's gonna be my tier three
- 2:08:29Speaker 4: over Corey or Jordan, Jordan's gonna be Tier three. Corey
- 2:08:37Speaker 4: uh committed to Beer Olympics and then decided to not
- 2:08:39Speaker 4: get out of it. And I had to find out
- 2:08:40Speaker 4: from Jordan that he was not going to be in it,
- 2:08:41Speaker 4: and for that reason he is in. He fell down
- 2:08:45Speaker 4: the chart.
- 2:08:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll like the stock market in's steady moving.
- 2:08:48Speaker 4: Yeah. June twenty four twenty fifth.
- 2:08:51Speaker 5: June twenty four, twenty fifth.
- 2:08:53Speaker 1: That's in Vegas. Beer Olympics, guys, I'm not you got
- 2:08:58Speaker 1: some tequila? What's up?
- 2:08:59Speaker 4: And we can get you get to be a spectator.

- 2:09:06Speaker 1: June twenty four, twenty five. Careful what you say, too,
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: because I'm not Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not going to commit to anything right now,
- 2:09:13Speaker 1: because if you have any family trips any day, do
- 2:09:15Speaker 1: you want to make sure. Yeah, I'm gonna do a
- 2:09:17Speaker 1: little bit better job preparing myself this time. Okay before
- 2:09:21Speaker 1: I just off the cuffs, Yeah, throwing things out there.
- 2:09:23Speaker 5: Respect.
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:09:25Speaker 5: So you got Dennis Ben, Jordan Russe. Yeah, and Jordan
- 2:09:31Speaker 5: really flew up the list. I feel like, but I'm
- 2:09:35Speaker 5: saying in the short time I feel like you've been
- 2:09:37Speaker 5: around Jordan.
- 2:09:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Jordan made a big impact. I mean,
- 2:09:39Speaker 4: I really like Jordan's Yeah, I really like how this
- 2:09:42Speaker 4: intentionally it was awesome. I love how every game.
- 2:09:48Speaker 1: This feels like my Space Top eight right now.
- 2:09:51Speaker 5: Yeah, I love my Space Top.
- 2:09:54Speaker 1: For sure. Change every day.
- 2:09:58Speaker 5: I know the background, the background me and uh Webby
- 2:10:02Speaker 5: better Boozy Independent. Maybe they do a collapse.
- 2:10:06Speaker 4: My space was the best.
- 2:10:09Speaker 1: He does. Having a spelling contest out here today.
- 2:10:13Speaker 4: Yeah that's nice.
- 2:10:15Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I love this. I love this.
- 2:10:17Speaker 1: I think that, uh the tears. I'm going to have
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: to work on mine to come back to y'all because.
- 2:10:21Speaker 4: Oh, you want to change yours up?
- 2:10:23Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm just saying, like I I don't
- 2:10:25Speaker 1: think I understood the question before.
- 2:10:28Speaker 7: Yeah, don't worry, We'll have another one, a twist the
- 2:10:30Speaker 7: question after Mitch, which Mitch has been working on for weeks.
- 2:10:34Speaker 4: My tier list is going to come. Oh on, Met Burger,
- 2:10:36Speaker 4: you want about Yeah, yeah, men Burger, why didn't he
- 2:10:39Speaker 4: make the list? So Met I met and met in
- 2:10:42Speaker 4: a group chat with a bunch of random degenerates before
- 2:10:45Speaker 4: the combine, and then we both get drafted the same
- 2:10:47Speaker 4: year to the Titans and we're at the Millennium Maxwell House.
- 2:10:50Speaker 4: He texts me. He goes, hey, do you want to
- 2:10:52Speaker 4: ride to the facility together for our first practice or
- 2:10:54Speaker 4: first whatever. I was like, yeah, I get in the
- 2:10:57Speaker 4: car and we're driving and Millennium Maxwell House at the time,
- 2:11:00Speaker 4: its facility is probably a five minute drive on that drive,
- 2:11:03Speaker 4: he tells me, he goes, you and I are going
- 2:11:05Speaker 4: to hold each other's hand through this career, spend ten
- 2:11:07Speaker 4: years and both be Hall of Famers. He says that,
- 2:11:10Speaker 4: and I'm thinking to myself, I'm fucking gassed up. I
- 2:11:12Speaker 4: literally live at his house I until my contract got done.
- 2:11:16Speaker 4: I was it was like July, my contract wasn't finished,
- 2:11:18Speaker 4: and I was sleeping on his couch. We were together
- 2:11:21Speaker 4: every single day. The reason why he falls down the
- 2:11:24Speaker 4: list honestly is not the best teammate. And I think
- 2:11:30Speaker 4: when it comes down to the locker room, I loved
- 2:11:32Speaker 4: met like as a friend, Like I thought he was
- 2:11:34Speaker 4: a great, fantastic friend. But when it came to like
- 2:11:38Speaker 4: locker room, we're really trying to get this done, I
- 2:11:40Speaker 4: just didn't. As I look back in it, the effort
- 2:11:45Speaker 4: wasn't one hundred percent there. And that's where he'd from
- 2:11:47Speaker 4: a locker room standpoint. Just doesn't make my list. Damn.
- 2:11:51Speaker 1: This sounds like Gary Bertier's fring. I think I think
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: Garyier the one he had to cut, the one he
- 2:11:56Speaker 1: had to cut, this got to cut him in.
- 2:11:59Speaker 4: Yeah, you're missing blocks like that.
- 2:12:01Speaker 5: You gotta go try to win, YO, What what a movie.
- 2:12:07Speaker 4: My tier list.
- 2:12:08Speaker 5: And by the way, you can't go back now because
- 2:12:10Speaker 5: I'm about to start. But I thought to Delaney Walker
- 2:12:13Speaker 5: was going to be.
- 2:12:13Speaker 4: Somewhere to kill you.
- 2:12:16Speaker 7: I know.
- 2:12:19Speaker 4: There's no question, there's no question that Delaney should have
- 2:12:23Speaker 4: been on that list. He's probably one. However, I can't
- 2:12:27Speaker 4: believe I know.
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: The same thing with.
- 2:12:32Speaker 4: You didn't know you hate We all see it.
- 2:12:34Speaker 1: I hate him.
- 2:12:36Speaker 5: All of mine I'm thinking about has to do with
- 2:12:39Speaker 5: the Washington roster.
- 2:12:40Speaker 4: You Delaney were even close. Delaney's not on mine. I'm
- 2:12:44Speaker 4: just saying, you can't take this back. That does make
- 2:12:48Speaker 4: me sick. Delaney's not on mine. But I just knew.
- 2:12:51Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, he's going to be sick when I
- 2:12:53Speaker 5: tell him. Because I've been around you guys enough to
- 2:12:56Speaker 5: have heard all the stories. I've heard all the things,
- 2:12:57Speaker 5: the fun that you guys had. I'm like, for sure,
- 2:12:59Speaker 5: Delaney's gonna and you still have the relationship you have
- 2:13:01Speaker 5: with him now post career.
- 2:13:02Speaker 4: So it's like that was a light. That's the thing
- 2:13:05Speaker 4: for Delaney with me, dude, is even with bus and stuff, like,
- 2:13:08Speaker 4: he he's like so available and we know he's there,
- 2:13:11Speaker 4: but for what it's because we know he's so available.
- 2:13:13Speaker 4: We're like, what are we doing over here?
- 2:13:17Speaker 5: Yes, minor all around the Washington Redskins. Well, that locker
- 2:13:22Speaker 5: room we had even though we didn't like go far.
- 2:13:24Speaker 5: You guys knocked us.
- 2:13:24Speaker 4: Out of the wall. What's the waldcar around? Yeah? The
- 2:13:27Speaker 4: waldcar round? Remember that?
- 2:13:28Speaker 5: Take it easy? Yeah, But I'm thinking about that Washington
- 2:13:33Speaker 5: roster because we had a lot of good guys and
- 2:13:35Speaker 5: I'm gonna go on my political rant with you got
- 2:13:37Speaker 5: the Ryan Carrigan's, the Kirk Cousins, Mason Foster, Deshaun Goldston,
- 2:13:42Speaker 5: like Jason Hatcher, Sean Leval, Oh my god, Sean Leval,
- 2:13:49Speaker 5: my tire my Tier three is gonna be a man
- 2:13:53Speaker 5: by the name of Kendrick Goldston, d Lineman out of
- 2:13:55Speaker 5: Georgia played a decade. He was one of those guys.
- 2:13:58Speaker 5: He was never the superstar of the team, but he
- 2:14:01Speaker 5: was the guy who always had the pulse and had
- 2:14:04Speaker 5: the locker room and it was had that just og.
- 2:14:07Speaker 4: He was like unk.
- 2:14:08Speaker 5: He was like the father figure, the leader as far
- 2:14:11Speaker 5: as like family, the Bible studies, just the all encompassing
- 2:14:15Speaker 5: of what a man and a leader is is Kedrick
- 2:14:18Speaker 5: Golston and I would just sit I'd pick his brain.
- 2:14:21Speaker 4: You know, he'd make he'd have.
- 2:14:23Speaker 5: That southern accent that make you laugh like he was
- 2:14:27Speaker 5: the best. So Uncle Kedrick Golston was my tier three.
- 2:14:31Speaker 5: My tier two is going to go to Trent Murphy.
- 2:14:35Speaker 4: He was somebody that I've been around.
- 2:14:38Speaker 5: We were around each other our entire you know, our
- 2:14:40Speaker 5: entire stant with Washington when he got drafted, like in
- 2:14:43Speaker 5: the meetings, fucking around with each other, like stuff off
- 2:14:46Speaker 5: the field, like we go on our little hunting trip
- 2:14:49Speaker 5: every year. But he's somebody that you pick up the
- 2:14:50Speaker 5: phone and you talk to him or when you're texting,
- 2:14:52Speaker 5: like it's like that that texting style that you have
- 2:14:55Speaker 5: with each other to where you're always laughing about something
- 2:14:58Speaker 5: or you know where they're coming from. That Trent Murphy,
- 2:15:00Speaker 5: he was like he was my boy, somebody you could
- 2:15:03Speaker 5: be self deprecating around and kind of bitch with. But
- 2:15:06Speaker 5: know that we're about that life. But we're gonna sit
- 2:15:09Speaker 5: here and we're gonna bitch a little bit in Asana.
- 2:15:10Speaker 5: Oh yes, My tier one is going to go to
- 2:15:15Speaker 5: Adam Hayward. He was a linebacker that was with Tampa
- 2:15:17Speaker 5: for a little bit and then came to Washington and
- 2:15:20Speaker 5: he came like my second year to where he put
- 2:15:22Speaker 5: his arm around me. He's like, hey, if you're gonna
- 2:15:24Speaker 5: make the team this year, it's gonna be through special teams,
- 2:15:25Speaker 5: not gonna be knowing what to do a linebacker and
- 2:15:27Speaker 5: everything else. Because I was on peace squad the first
- 2:15:30Speaker 5: year and he kind of took me under his wing
- 2:15:31Speaker 5: and like you know, I rode with him everywhere. We'd
- 2:15:33Speaker 5: drive to the games together, we'd break down film with
- 2:15:36Speaker 5: each other, and he was like always kind of that
- 2:15:38Speaker 5: mentor vibe to where we were around each other all
- 2:15:41Speaker 5: the time where we'd bicker at each other. We'd low
- 2:15:42Speaker 5: key argue way too much and honestly be mad at
- 2:15:45Speaker 5: each other a lot, but because of like how close
- 2:15:47Speaker 5: we are and how we saw everything and Adam Hayward
- 2:15:51Speaker 5: video games like in the off season, like he was
- 2:15:54Speaker 5: the cat that I was talking to and we knew
- 2:15:57Speaker 5: each other like he was he was my guy with
- 2:16:01Speaker 5: his years in Washington, So he's my He's my tier one.
- 2:16:04Speaker 4: So that's my list, one of those guys Arizona boy.
- 2:16:09Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say Trent, but yeah, bro,
- 2:16:13Speaker 5: Adam Hayward Kedrick Golston just just staples staples of the career,
- 2:16:18Speaker 5: like for just all of it, for a lot of things.
- 2:16:21Speaker 4: When Trent and I were in high school, it always
- 2:16:22Speaker 4: seemed like there was some tension there between him and
- 2:16:24Speaker 4: I because he might.
- 2:16:26Speaker 5: Always feel like that with Trent, like he just he's
- 2:16:27Speaker 5: a very hellfish kind of like.
- 2:16:30Speaker 4: He was dating a girl named Taylor in high school.
- 2:16:33Speaker 1: Wait, do you have something to tell us?
- 2:16:35Speaker 4: Yeah, Taylor was a she. Now that it's out, yeah,
- 2:16:41Speaker 4: but there was always like a weird tension. He was
- 2:16:43Speaker 4: always dating like Chaparral people, and he was a Brophy kid,
- 2:16:45Speaker 4: all boys school and stuff like that. And you knew
- 2:16:47Speaker 4: about Trent Murphy, but he was wasn't in the circles.
- 2:16:49Speaker 4: I was only around him a couple of times.
- 2:16:50Speaker 5: I thought, you guys would hit off now, but you're
- 2:16:54Speaker 5: for sure, we're boys, for sure each other is like
- 2:16:57Speaker 5: you're not each other's cup of tea. Like if I'm
- 2:17:00Speaker 5: thinking of back in the younger days, oh, just knowing
- 2:17:02Speaker 5: both you guys, you guys would hit off now.
- 2:17:05Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think that the younger tailor you're thinking
- 2:17:07Speaker 4: of was college tailor. I wasn't like that high school.
- 2:17:10Speaker 5: What were you like in high school.
- 2:17:11Speaker 4: I didn't drink it all my senior year.
- 2:17:13Speaker 5: Hey, your protein shakes early in the morning.
- 2:17:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, get up at three am, get
- 2:17:17Speaker 4: a protein shake in. I was on that grind, Yeah,
- 2:17:19Speaker 4: I was. I was about it, definitely about that.
- 2:17:22Speaker 5: Actually, do you have have you thought of anybody else
- 2:17:24Speaker 5: since we've been kind of talking about it.
- 2:17:25Speaker 4: I feel sick, Yeah, because I feel sick about we
- 2:17:28Speaker 4: don't feel I do.
- 2:17:31Speaker 1: That was tough.
- 2:17:33Speaker 4: Thank god Dlanna doesn't watch our show.
- 2:17:35Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's tough.
- 2:17:37Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Delanna.
- 2:17:38Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm for sure gonna.
- 2:17:40Speaker 4: I got to think.
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: I think one of the one of the things, one
- 2:17:42Speaker 1: of the things I think about was just like when
- 2:17:45Speaker 1: you think about retirement, is this what you miss?
- 2:17:47Speaker 7: Like?
- 2:17:48Speaker 1: This feels like locker room talk.
- 2:17:49Speaker 4: Rights what the show's about.
- 2:17:51Speaker 1: This is locker room talk. This is what it felt like.
- 2:17:54Speaker 1: This is this is the vibe that you get right
- 2:17:57Speaker 1: every day, every single morning you're walking in like everybody
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: has their little crew and like you know, some teams
- 2:18:04Speaker 1: intermingle a little bit more, but you have these moments
- 2:18:06Speaker 1: and you have these conversations just happening all throughout the
- 2:18:09Speaker 1: locker room. People playing corn hole ping pong over here
- 2:18:13Speaker 1: playing chess like bou Ray, having these conversations and like
- 2:18:18Speaker 1: I think when it when you think about like being
- 2:18:21Speaker 1: removed from that, that's the part that you always miss
- 2:18:24Speaker 1: more because these are the bonds that are built, These
- 2:18:27Speaker 1: are the memories that are made, and you have guys
- 2:18:31Speaker 1: that's never been heard of, like, but you have these
- 2:18:33Speaker 1: relationships that last alone like a lifetime, and you have
- 2:18:37Speaker 1: these memories that you can look back on. Like I
- 2:18:39Speaker 1: think that like when you think of post career, that's
- 2:18:42Speaker 1: that's what people lack and we miss, and that's one
- 2:18:45Speaker 1: of the reasons that brought us to Nashville because there's
- 2:18:47Speaker 1: so many of us here and we can have these
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: moments and it just feels like so easy to do,
- 2:18:53Speaker 1: like coming to Easter and you know, Sack racing it up.
- 2:18:57Speaker 4: By the way.
- 2:19:00Speaker 1: Either way, I mean, the tape is what the tape is.
- 2:19:02Speaker 4: I might edged you out come on. Everyone was celebrating you,
- 2:19:06Speaker 4: but you know nobody wanted to check on me going
- 2:19:08Speaker 4: face first over that finish line. I'm trying to get
- 2:19:11Speaker 4: it full effort for effort. Hey, I'm so sick. You
- 2:19:15Speaker 4: guys were at my house for Easter party and I
- 2:19:18Speaker 4: I'm sick at.
- 2:19:19Speaker 5: His kids are wiping the floor with everybody. And then
- 2:19:22Speaker 5: when we don't well, I'm like, well, let's see how
- 2:19:25Speaker 5: we can bounce here. And then as as the race,
- 2:19:27Speaker 5: I mean it was only like what ten yards long?
- 2:19:28Speaker 5: Maybe as we're at that like five yard mark, and
- 2:19:31Speaker 5: I felt that I was like, oh shit, I could
- 2:19:33Speaker 5: win this thing.
- 2:19:33Speaker 4: I'm just like itching to try to beat this to you?
- 2:19:36Speaker 4: Did you felt that you seemed like you didn't feel nothing?
- 2:19:39Speaker 1: Did you you just thought I didn't even see you.
- 2:19:41Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I just you gotta watch
- 2:19:43Speaker 1: the tape.
- 2:19:43Speaker 4: I saw the face first down.
- 2:19:47Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's a lot of that tape to
- 2:19:49Speaker 1: like break down and look through like there's a guy
- 2:19:51Speaker 1: that looked like it towards a cl Yeah, it's good.
- 2:19:56Speaker 4: Nashville is a fun time. It is. The house is
- 2:19:58Speaker 4: the house you're building. You said you have a big
- 2:19:59Speaker 4: entertainment an area in there. I want you to know.
- 2:20:02Speaker 4: Nashville people stake their claim to holiday parties, and Tailan
- 2:20:07Speaker 4: has staked her claim in Easter. You can take any
- 2:20:10Speaker 4: other holiday you want, but I don't. I swear to god, dude,
- 2:20:13Speaker 4: if I get a card, say you're invited to the
- 2:20:15Speaker 4: random to the Cobb family Easter party. We will have problems.
- 2:20:18Speaker 4: We're not doing that, my wife. We just got to
- 2:20:23Speaker 4: get a guy night going with the vibe.
- 2:20:26Speaker 1: It's gonna be a spot cigar guy I am like.
- 2:20:29Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not. I don't know him as well,
- 2:20:31Speaker 1: but I like I like the silver cigar from time
- 2:20:33Speaker 1: to time. You know, we got the golf simulator. It'll
- 2:20:36Speaker 1: be it'd be a good little spot simulators.
- 2:20:38Speaker 4: I don't even like golf, but they are fun. Yeah,
- 2:20:40Speaker 4: those are a good time. When's that gonna be done?
- 2:20:43Speaker 1: Hopefully next year? Next year? You know, you know how
- 2:20:48Speaker 1: they say it's six months and it's twelve. Yeah, twelve
- 2:20:51Speaker 1: is eighteen. But yeah, we'll see, we'll see it. We'll
- 2:20:54Speaker 1: make something happen.
- 2:20:54Speaker 4: But it's gonna be the best easter.
- 2:20:56Speaker 1: Easter was great, by the way, We missed you there.
- 2:20:58Speaker 1: But my son, my middle boy, called his first fish
- 2:21:01Speaker 1: at your house. So you know, we'll always be thankful
- 2:21:04Speaker 1: for your pond.
- 2:21:05Speaker 4: Very welcome. That is awesome. Kind of fish was the best.
- 2:21:08Speaker 1: I have no idea cool.
- 2:21:12Speaker 4: Yeah, that is so great.
- 2:21:14Speaker 1: Fights at the house later that day, what's that led to?
- 2:21:17Speaker 1: Fights at the house later that day because the older
- 2:21:19Speaker 1: brother didn't catch a fish.
- 2:21:20Speaker 4: So about it. That lays us into our next segment.
- 2:21:25Speaker 4: We have a dad segment that is essentially it can
- 2:21:28Speaker 4: be hey, a little bit of wisdom you can put
- 2:21:30Speaker 4: on new dads out there. It can be something that
- 2:21:32Speaker 4: pisses you off about your kids, but this is a
- 2:21:34Speaker 4: safe space for you to talk about your kids, your experiences.
- 2:21:38Speaker 4: So it's kind of like we have also a saving
- 2:21:40Speaker 4: called shadow no fore shadow, but it's a small little
- 2:21:42Speaker 4: thing that maybe happened this weekend. Maybe as a father
- 2:21:44Speaker 4: that things that you like to do raising three young
- 2:21:47Speaker 4: boys that you want to tell to these people right now.
- 2:21:50Speaker 1: I would think just trying to make things fun. You know,
- 2:21:54Speaker 1: kids want to be kids, they want to have fun.
- 2:21:56Speaker 1: I've noticed that times whenever I'm like, don't do that,
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: get over here, you know, it just like it adds
- 2:22:04Speaker 1: to the fuel, right and it just we all all
- 2:22:06Speaker 1: our levels go up, and then we're really then we're
- 2:22:08Speaker 1: really in the thick of it. But one thing that
- 2:22:12Speaker 1: I've here recently, I don't know where the idea came from,
- 2:22:15Speaker 1: but like one day I was just like, hey, like
- 2:22:18Speaker 1: I need you to go take a shower. Like take
- 2:22:20Speaker 1: your shower. Then I'm gonna do introductions, like I'm gonna
- 2:22:22Speaker 1: play introduction for you to come out to like right,
- 2:22:24Speaker 1: because they come to all our games, they see the
- 2:22:26Speaker 1: introduction everyone getting called out. So whenever, whenever I want
- 2:22:29Speaker 1: to get them, like in the shower so we can
- 2:22:31Speaker 1: get this bedtime routine started. Like I say, let's do introductions.
- 2:22:35Speaker 1: I put on the Chicago Bulls intro. Whenever they get
- 2:22:39Speaker 1: out of the shower, I give a whole spiel like yeah,
- 2:22:43Speaker 1: I give the whole rundown and then cave coup and
- 2:22:47Speaker 1: he'll come out and do a little dance like cast
- 2:22:50Speaker 1: being does a cartwheel and he come through. We got handshakes,
- 2:22:54Speaker 1: you know.
- 2:22:54Speaker 4: So it's just awesome.
- 2:22:56Speaker 1: Yeah, just trying to trying to do something fine ways
- 2:22:58Speaker 1: to make it fun. And you know, again with the boys,
- 2:23:02Speaker 1: we're always outside like we're playing sports where you know,
- 2:23:05Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be as president as I can
- 2:23:07Speaker 1: with them because I know this moment's gonna pass. Like
- 2:23:09Speaker 1: I know in five years they're gonna go want to
- 2:23:12Speaker 1: be with their boys, and you know, just trying to
- 2:23:14Speaker 1: have these moments now while I got them.
- 2:23:17Speaker 5: Is there anything you take from your career, like the
- 2:23:20Speaker 5: work you put in that you you know, try to
- 2:23:23Speaker 5: have resonate with them or you take from your career
- 2:23:25Speaker 5: to help you in fatherhood.
- 2:23:28Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I would say with them, like my son,
- 2:23:34Speaker 1: my oldest, thinks he's the coldest thing that's ever ever
- 2:23:38Speaker 1: touched the soccer ball. Like he's nice, he's not who
- 2:23:43Speaker 1: he thinks he is though yet maybe he can get
- 2:23:46Speaker 1: there one day, but he's not that yet.
- 2:23:48Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:23:49Speaker 1: So it's just like being able to like teach him
- 2:23:53Speaker 1: and have moments with him to like, you know, slowly
- 2:23:56Speaker 1: let the air out that balloon and bring him back
- 2:23:58Speaker 1: to the ground. And then with my younger one, lift
- 2:24:01Speaker 1: him up because he see his brother like being able
- 2:24:03Speaker 1: to do so much climb up a tree and jump
- 2:24:06Speaker 1: over this, and he can't do it, but he wants
- 2:24:09Speaker 1: to do it. And now he's crying because he's mad
- 2:24:10Speaker 1: because he can't do it. So it's like taking you know,
- 2:24:13Speaker 1: everything that I've learned and understand and always tell my
- 2:24:17Speaker 1: little one like hey are my middle one, Like hey, bro,
- 2:24:20Speaker 1: like you're going to be bigger than him in about
- 2:24:22Speaker 1: seven years, Like you're going to be taller than him.
- 2:24:25Speaker 1: You're gonna weigh more than he does, like, you're gonna
- 2:24:29Speaker 1: be all right, but he just, well, what am I
- 2:24:31Speaker 1: going to be? Six? When am I going to be?
- 2:24:33Speaker 1: Like he's always ready for that next thing, but just
- 2:24:35Speaker 1: trying to like lift him up, bring the other one down,
- 2:24:39Speaker 1: make sure that they understand that, like the only way
- 2:24:42Speaker 1: you get better is the work that you put in.
- 2:24:44Speaker 1: Like and he's my son is five and four right now,
- 2:24:48Speaker 1: both of them are you know, they're too young to
- 2:24:50Speaker 1: be thinking about Like my oldest son said, he's getting
- 2:24:53Speaker 1: drafted and he's playing soccer in Europe.
- 2:24:55Speaker 4: Like, as a dad does what you want to hear.
- 2:24:57Speaker 1: I would love that. I would love yeah, yeah, and
- 2:25:01Speaker 1: I'm and I'm I'm always gonna I'm always going to
- 2:25:03Speaker 1: support that. I'm always going to push themto that. But
- 2:25:05Speaker 1: I need him to understand too, that even if it's
- 2:25:08Speaker 1: ten minutes a day, let's go kick the soccer ball
- 2:25:11Speaker 1: like every day. So if you when you get to
- 2:25:14Speaker 1: the game on Saturday, the kid that hasn't played soccer
- 2:25:17Speaker 1: other than the last game you done played, you know,
- 2:25:20Speaker 1: the past five days, you've gotten fifty minutes of soccer
- 2:25:23Speaker 1: on top of whatever practice that you've had, Like that's
- 2:25:27Speaker 1: going to add up over the course of time, and
- 2:25:29Speaker 1: when you get to high school, maybe that kid that's
- 2:25:32Speaker 1: seven right now, that's better than you. At fifteen, you're
- 2:25:35Speaker 1: going to be at another level than he is. So
- 2:25:37Speaker 1: like just trying to like slowly integrate that into them
- 2:25:42Speaker 1: so they understand. And we try to stay off his
- 2:25:45Speaker 1: iPads as much as we can. But you know, vacations
- 2:25:49Speaker 1: like go ahead, take that thing. Yeah, yeah, I need
- 2:25:52Speaker 1: a break, I need a break.
- 2:25:53Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:25:55Speaker 5: Is there anything from your childhood that you remember that
- 2:25:58Speaker 5: you don't necessarily you want to do it differently with
- 2:26:01Speaker 5: your kids?
- 2:26:05Speaker 1: Not necessarily. One thing I'll say is I was very,
- 2:26:09Speaker 1: very fortunate enough. My Pops was in my life from
- 2:26:13Speaker 1: day one, and like he gave me a perfect example
- 2:26:17Speaker 1: of like like what it meant to be a man
- 2:26:20Speaker 1: and provide for your family. He worked fourteen hours a
- 2:26:24Speaker 1: day and a factory building transmissions at Denzo for you know,
- 2:26:29Speaker 1: Nissan and Toyota and all these companies, right, and like
- 2:26:33Speaker 1: he would have to teach people that were coming in
- 2:26:38Speaker 1: like their job because he knew it so well. But
- 2:26:42Speaker 1: he got like no, I wouldn't say black ball, but
- 2:26:45Speaker 1: like he didn't have the educational background because he was
- 2:26:48Speaker 1: only a high school graduate graduate that the college graduates
- 2:26:52Speaker 1: would you know, catapult him and he had to like
- 2:26:55Speaker 1: report to them, but he had to teach them how
- 2:26:57Speaker 1: to do their job. So but also he would come
- 2:26:59Speaker 1: home after fourteen hour shifts and he would be the
- 2:27:02Speaker 1: one taking me to practice and being one of my
- 2:27:04Speaker 1: coaches or cutting grass at the house. He just I
- 2:27:08Speaker 1: saw as an example a worth ethic that you know,
- 2:27:13Speaker 1: was instilled in me just by watching him.
- 2:27:17Speaker 4: You know.
- 2:27:17Speaker 1: He always told me that if I wasn't out there working,
- 2:27:19Speaker 1: that somebody just as good as me was working. So
- 2:27:23Speaker 1: he always dropped these little nuggets on me throughout my
- 2:27:26Speaker 1: childhood that that I think helped me. So I just
- 2:27:29Speaker 1: tried to do that with my kids too, not like
- 2:27:31Speaker 1: forcefully doing it, but just like I know they're listening
- 2:27:34Speaker 1: and maybe they don't, you know, they're not hearing everything,
- 2:27:37Speaker 1: but I'm trying to. I'm trying to help them along
- 2:27:40Speaker 1: their life.
- 2:27:41Speaker 4: Yeah. I love that, And that's awesome. Your dad sounds awesome.
- 2:27:44Speaker 1: Yeah he's the man, He's the man. Shout out. Yeah, yeah,

- 2:35:09Speaker 5: Heard you mentioned the broadcasting says I if you want
- 2:35:11Speaker 5: to be a little buttoned up.
- 2:35:12Speaker 1: Or if you want to kick back, and I'm I'm open,

- 2:35:23Speaker 1: like I said, playing seas. We'll see what happens.
- 2:35:25Speaker 4: All right, Speaking of Range, who's a better actor? Will
- 2:35:28Speaker 4: Smith or Denzel Washington?
- 2:35:29Speaker 1: Denzel Denzel Denzel.
- 2:35:32Speaker 4: As far as Range goes, as far as Range goes, Okay,
- 2:35:35Speaker 4: well all right, well, yeah, I give it to Will.
- 2:35:38Speaker 4: I give it to Will because I think Will does
- 2:35:41Speaker 4: a better job with like comedy, and then I think
- 2:35:43Speaker 4: Denzel is a better serious actor. I think the stuff
- 2:35:46Speaker 4: that Denzel's and I like more than what I've seen Willing.
- 2:35:48Speaker 4: But as far as Range goes, I'm going Will over Denzel.
- 2:35:53Speaker 4: I can go wrong with phenomenal actors both. Yeah, once
- 2:35:58Speaker 4: more physical than the other. You have to watch somebody
- 2:35:59Speaker 4: for the rest of your Denzel better movies, better quality,
