• 5:21
  Speaker 7: not changing.
• 5:23

  Speaker 5: But dude, I literally like even the Southwest flight home
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: to Nashville, I'm sitting there Jared's.
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: By the way, me and Jared were sleepy.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Sleepy boys.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: I was too, and I tried to catch myself a
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: little bit of shut eye, but Jared came into the mother. Okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: this is completely full flight the way Southwest is doing
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: it now. I wasn't rocking at a one as I
• 5:42

  Speaker 2: Now, are you still in line and get the kind
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of first come, first serve or is it predetermined seats?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I was hearing rumors that they're still first come, first serve.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It's still first come for serve.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: I think it's like at the end of this month
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: or next month when changed.
• 6:01

• 6:03

• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Huh. We had we had the Southwest with New York.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: But once I heard that it's actually an official switch,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: it's kind of it's kind of caught me right, call
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: me by something.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: You're putting your name in the transfer portal and there's
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: a chance that can get you back. But as of

• 6:29
  Speaker 5: visits and see what happened.

  Speaker 2: and then pivot and go somewhere out the way. He's
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: on the flight home.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: I have like I have like an upset, like I
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: pit my stomach where it's like, yo, it could have
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: ended in so many ways other than like the way
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: it ended for me, and in such a bad scenario.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: That's like I need to learn how to enjoy gambling again,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: not just going in like like blitz creaking mode and
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: just going trying to go off twenty four to seven.

• 7:11
  Speaker 5: a chance to win a thousand dollars. Drunk dude eleven
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: am stumbles up on us and I'm like, you want
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: to try it when it diess like, yeah, his whole
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: family's like twenty of them. They go to the wild Card,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: the Wildcard weekend every year in Vegas and they're like

• 7:25
  Speaker 5: go in there, buddy ends up losing and we give
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: them five hundred. Anyway, but it's we had a few
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: of those that were just absolutely awesome. I get way
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: more done with that. But for me, it's like, maybe
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: I need to take a step back on like heavy
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: gambling when I'm there by myself, like wait for the
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: big guy, wait for the tunnel of chaos, Let's get
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: into that, Let's go back, Let's go back to what
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: made this so fun.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: So when you say maybe I need to how strong
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: is that? Maybe? Like where's your head actually at?
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Like we're sitting here Monday, recruiting the recording this intro,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: not even probably probably twenty four hours removed from being
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: in Vegas, and it's real to me to where it's like,
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: but it's really about how do I keep this same
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: mindset when I'm there because the opportunity. You know me,
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: I'm an optimistic cat. So when I go into situation,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: I think this is gonna be the best case scenario
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: for me. This is how it's gonna work out for me,
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: And luckily it has been in a lot of ways.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: But this time, I just I was Icarus, dude. I
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: was way too close to that sun and luckily found
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: a way to kind of land, and I just I
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: just don't want to.
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: I just it got so bad at one point that
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: on Saturday night, we're at the Red Rock where we
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: always stay, and we up and leave and we pack
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: all of our stuff in the opportunity that our whole
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: crew is going to be at another location until six
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: am before our flight. It was a premeditated pack. Luckily
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: you can watch the vog see what happens. But we
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: had taken all of our gear on Saturday night and
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: left with the idea that we are not coming back,
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: We're gonna be going to the airport.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: And our flight was at eight am and this is
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: at midnight. So yeah, it was a lot of like
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: deaf con one, you know, knocking.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Doing that drive too. It's like Dana's Crue. They're all
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: like matching black BMW's. We're behind them in like a
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Red Rock black suv and we're just caravanning our way
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: to Caesar's Palace, and I'm looking at the window truly
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: going through my head like it was all going so
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: good for you? Like what what made you think like
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: a little bit more would be better? And so that's
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: where it's like, Hey, can I take an opportunity to
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: learn a lesson while still like not having the worst
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: case scenario happen to me?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Can I do that?
• 9:34

• 10:13
  Speaker 8: It was like a demon was on a roll that
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: was really Taylor and I pressuring Jared to gamble most
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: of his money. We were we were watching the BAKA
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: board and if you understand baccara. You basically are reading
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: the trend off of it, and we are like, we
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: feel very confident about the next bet being at whatever.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: The pattern was so clear.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was like if I wasn't because in
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: this moment I was down, Yeah, and I was like,
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I love to but it seems like everything I touched
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: turns the ship right now. So I'm not going to
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: touch it. Jack's not going to touch it. But Jared,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I swear to god, it feels like you, if you
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: put this down right now, it's gonna work out for you.
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: He put it down and just immediately walks out of
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: the room. Yeah, couldn't handle it. It happens he gets
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: the best possible hand you can get in baccara, which
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: is a natural or nine.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: And so what did me and Taylor do?
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: We start whispering, We're like, oh no, and he walks
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: in just like it's all good. I I I didn't
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: expect it to win and know you hit He's like
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: almost about to kiss Taylor on the lips.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: But yeah, he gave me a nice, little, nice little
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: behind hug. Dude got a little aggress.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: So you guys bullied him in the bet in the
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: biggest hand of his life and then also said we
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: ain't touching this. Yeah, but also swear to God.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like when you when you're when you're as deep
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: in the weeds as we were. It was like, if
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: we bet it, it for sure won't hit. If Jared does,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: he's pure enough to where it happened. He's He's like
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: a Laddin trying to get the cave bro. He can
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: only get in. I'm was it Jafar like I I
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: can't get in. I'm not pure enough at this point. Yes,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: a diamond in the rough, so he he uh. He
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: made out like a bandit this weekend.

  Speaker 2: and it was it was all I needed from it,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: like I got all the players, I got everything right.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: All I needed to finish was the Packers money line.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: But I did enjoy just kind of watching the Packers
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: piss away their lead with Clay Matthews and I was
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: on Grock. I was having some fun, dude. The grog
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: thing was so funny. I've been seeing the trend like
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: put so and to put this photo in a bikini. Yeah,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: so like put Clay in a bikini, dude. It was
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: just so fun dude.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I almost brought it up with Greg when we were filming,
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: uh the intro when he was talking about Twitter and
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: stuff like that, and it's so funny. My algorithm is
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: just like transfer portal news football football football, and it's like, wait, wait,
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: what happened in Venezuela.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: It's like that craziest ship out of nowhere.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: And then the Grok thing is so funny. By the way,
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Grok did Clay.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: They did that boy right, Yeah, except he ain't got
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: no bulge down there, no even heard from Clay's that's
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: he's been shooting this entire life.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: That's steroids, like it shriveled up. There have any of
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: you heard from Clay. I don't think he responded to
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: any of those text in the group.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Because he failed the boys. I think we have to
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: burn his jersey now, which suck.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I think we got to do it in the locker room.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: We got to do it in the locker room responsibly.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely not inside.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe inside though, just a blow torch real quick, yeah, yeah.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, how was tell us about the games?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Though?
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Dude, it was. It was. It was a lot of fun. However,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: there's some question marks I have on Josh Pate.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: I had to my god, here's the deal, too, is
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: like Josh has been nothing. There's been green flags all
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: the way. Like we're far enough along to where it's like, damn,
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: I can't believe we found like a red flag at
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: this point.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And that red flag came at two in the morning
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: when we were shuttling to our hotel after the Fiesta Bowl.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: So we land, we go to the Miami the Miami
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Old Miss game, which, by the way, that Miami Old
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Miss game was incredible. If you guys listen to our
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: football recap show that came out yesterday with Greg we
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: took a little college ball on the back end, So
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: check that out by watching that game, getting the seat
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: in person, and like every few seconds, I'm just nudging Dippy.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, look at those boys on the Miami's offensive line.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: JP gets me. We're trying to put in a food order,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: try to have some food lined up for when we
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: fly to Atlanta. But so going in and planning out
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: this trip, it was we had to hit the game
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: in Arizona and then fly out right after because Josh
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Pate was going to be doing ESPN. He was on
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: first take, he was on get up, he was going
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to do it, or he had to do it from
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the site of the Peach Bowl from Atlanta. So the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: plan was always to Okay, we're gonna fly out after
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the Arizona game. Just take a late flight, landed like
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: two three in the morning in Atlanta. We're just gonna
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: have to eat that because the boy, Josh, he needs
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: to do his big hits on ESPN. The dude's he's
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: been becoming a star right in front of our eyes,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: as he should. The dude is a beast, he's a stud.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: He is the commissioner of college football. And so it
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: was like, oh man, that kind of sucks that we
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: can't just stay in Arizona sleeping, get some good practice,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: like catch the vibes. Like the weather out there in Arizona.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You're walking around it like as you're going to Vegas.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: But we're walking around it like before we go into
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the game, and we're just like, man, it's just it
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: just feels so ripe being out here. It's cleaner, it's greener,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: you have all. It just felt so good and felt
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: so right and.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: Greener, as healthier.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you felt healthy walking around you just
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: like healthy. You're like, man, it's just nice being out here.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: But we can't.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: We can't after the game just go hit a hotel
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: because the game the next day, the Peach Bowl in
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Atlanta's not until seven at night Eastern time. Could have
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: got zips too.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: We did have actually the trip planned. Originally we booked
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: the flight. We were staying in Arizona. It had to
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: get changed because Josh needed to go to Atlanta again.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: He had to be there on site at the Beach Bowl.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: He had to be there there. Wanted them on side,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: with the backdrop and everything else. When I saw.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: What you're about to say, I wasn't even with you guys,
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: and I was heated.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Oh buddy, go ahead. We land and we get in
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the shuttle to rip over to the hotel in Atlanta,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: and again you just this is what we signed up
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: for this. Hey, we're road dogging it right now. Yeah,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: we're road dog We're ready to go. I'm taking it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: We're flying nice, but we're we're eating as far as
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: like sleep because we had ESPN the day before. It's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: like when we fly out on that flight. It's like eight,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: eight thirty nine o'clock at night. We land, we only
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: get four hours of sleep before we do get up
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: in the morning. But I've just been up. We've been
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: up all day long, and so it's two thirty in
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the morning, like the next day. Now we're flying to
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: another crossing a couple of time zones. We land and
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: we're in the shuttle and all of a sudden, I
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: don't know what happens. I'm kind of just like sitting
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: there JP and I might be we might be slap
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: happy over a couple of things. We're kind of sitting there.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I here clump ask a question. Then I hear Josh
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: essentially say like, oh no, like they switch it like
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to be zooming in from my hotel.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I said, hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: And also when Will says hold on, hold on, he's
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: still looking out the window. He's just like this, He's like,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Oh repeat that for him again. You don't you don't
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: have to be at the stadium for your for ESPN.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: He's like, no, I'm just gonna be zooming in from
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: my hotel room. And I was like when did you
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: learn this information? And you know, cause we're all I
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: kind of like laughing now knowing this bomb that he's
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: just dropping on us. And he's like he knew the
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: information like in the airplane flying to Arizona. And I'm thinking, buddy,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: we could have switched, we could have switched the operations
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: or where we could have slept in Arizona, like all
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: these fantasies that we had about sleeping in. Again, we're
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: not in a rush. We don't have to be at
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: the Peace Bowl fourteen hours ahead of time anymore. Why
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: are you keeping this information in on us? And we're
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: all laughing and it's I can't even remember at that point.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: It's so late in the night and we're just trying
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to get to the hotel and everything else. But I'm thinking, buddy,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: why in the hell would you not share that with
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the squad. We could have we could have slept in,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: We could have had good you know, And who had zips?
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: That's all that that could have had zips.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Dude, And who's the first face we see the next
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: morning when we go down to the lobby on.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: That pate on first take, arguing with you know, Steven
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: A cam Newton RC.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: He and RC had some chemistry though him and RC
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: had some good chemistry.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: They had some good chemistry talking about the SEC and
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: how it's falling and everything that's inside of the SEC talk.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: But I'm looking at him, seeing him zoomed in from
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: that hotel room across the street, just thinking like, man,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: we could have, we could have.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know Will watching the TV and when he
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: comes to the camera is over five minutes long.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I hate watching him on the ESPN.
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: Bro.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: That breaks my heart for you because I was the
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: whole week. I'm talking to Clump, like that's just crazy.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: They don't just stay there and why does he have
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: to be on the field. I don't understand that at all.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Again, after they if that's what they wanted and ESPN
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: wanted to be from the stadium, that was never you.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: If we're if we're all homies and you're you, we're
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: gonna help your career and like this is not opportun
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: to help your career and this is what.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: They want you to go up.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: We will always lean on the let's help our boy
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: out for his help our boy man, let's get in
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: the foxhol with them. But there's gotta be communication. God,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: if you don't have it, what do you have? If
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: you don't have communication and relationship, You've got nothing, Because
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: how do you're essentially Titanic?
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Would you ask him? Clump when that when that bomb
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: dropped weird, It was like a quiet ride.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: So I just look at him like, Hey, what time
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: you got to be at the stadium tomorrow? And he
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: kind of started stumbling over his words. Oh, I don't
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: even think he wanted to fully say it, and then
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: he's like, I actually don't have to be there tomorrow.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: At the JP's point, I'm like, I'm looking at the
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: other side, but I'm just sitting there. I was like, oh,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: hold on, hold on, hold on, He says, JP, get
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the camera. What breaks my heart?
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: As you guys I've brought said three times you could
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: have zips and that just that just to me is like, Bro,
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: could you imagine watching the festival all miss Miami down
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: to the wire tread at Chambliss last second could have
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: been a penalty, could not have been a penalty, And
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: it's like, what a crazy game. Let's well have the
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: greatest bar move meal of our entire lives and talk
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: about it, only to go to a hotel, relax in
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: a bed. No, you're gonna get a full eight hours,
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: wake up well rested for the next game.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Hey.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And that was another issue is we had to leave
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the game early because the game again four league changes
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, four lead changes in the fourth quarter.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: But Clump's like, hey, if we're gonna get out of here,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: there's twenty to thirty planes trying to get out after
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the game. We could be sitting on the runway for
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: a long time to where we could be laying in it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Let's just say four or five in the morning in Atlanta.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: So we're all communicating and decided, Okay, we're gonna have
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: to step out of this amazing game that's taking place
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: just to sit on the runway. And we're taking off
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: in the last few plays. There's like maybe twenty seconds left.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: For the sake of this story, the last play, What
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: does the phone do? Will freezes freezes on the last play,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: and we're.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Sitting there as we're taking off, like, man, we're not
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: We're not witnessing this. We're gonna have to be surprised
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: whenever we get connected to Wi Fi and figure out
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: who wins and who loses. But we would have gotten
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: to stay if we're not taking off from Arizona and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: had zips.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: And to your point about we.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Probably wuldn't have zips that night, what do you mean
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: we could have could have, could have.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Why we might not have been able to is because
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: we didn't break bread with Josh one time over this.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Don't he's not once man. We just want to meal with.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Him the best we could get with some sushi on
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: the plane, loud, no internet.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: No breakfast the next day, no lunch, no pregame meal.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: And Josh when he was like, hey, the Fall, don't tour.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: The Fall, don't lie tour. Let's roll together, and you know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I'm telling him, like, hey, if I'm just meeting you
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta because I don't know if I'll be able
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: to work, there's no point in me getting a plane
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: and going to Arizona, like I won't be able to work,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: me flying to Atlanta to buy myself to meet you.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: If you're going commercial to fly to Arizona, I'm not
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: just going to meet you in Atlanta to see one game,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: like I'll just watch it at the house. I'm like,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking we're road dogging this together. We fly together,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: we eat together, we sleep together, we bathe together, wash
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: each other's back. We get in the foxhole and he's like,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: that was a test you passed, So this trip comes
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: alive to like travel and do all this stuff. Bro,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: he ain't eat with us, not one time. One time
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: he sit with us, not one time. I hate that.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: I'm asking this question, is Josh pay a selfish friend?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: No? No, what I.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: What I just heard is way different than what unselfish
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: friend with you. So I'm just asking the question, like,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: didn't break bread, couldn't grab a coffee in the morning,
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: couldn't sit there and just chop it up with the boys?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Oh not my boy. Josh. In his defense, I give
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: him a defense on the sitting with this part. He
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: had his wife, Savannah, Savannah Rocks, Tyler. He had Tyler
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: with them, Tyler rips. They just had press box seats.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But he as we're walking into the Fiesta Bowl, He's like,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I gotta go down here to this gate. We had
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: his credential to see him on the field pregame, and
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: again we were it was getting tight. It was getting
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: tight the window that we had pregame, so we weren't
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: even gonna be on the field that long. But he's like,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go get them set up and then I'm
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: gonna meet you guys. But then we didn't hear a
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: word from him until it was like, hey, we're deciding
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: to fly out early, and then we just saw him
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: on the plane. So if I'm in his shoes, maybe
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: he wanted to sit with his wife and Tyler and
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: everything else. That's totally fine, but it comes back to
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: what man in the worst communication communication and and but here's.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: The You bring up the wife and it's like I
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: get it, Like you got buddy, who's got in that handle.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Savannah can hang she can chill. She's like, oh she's
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: one of the girls. I can hang out with the boys.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Oh for sure. She's not like when they're up in
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the press box, Oh.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, tell me the best one. And it's like, in
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: my mind, it's like that's that's on Paate, just not
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: asking the question, Hey, so what do you guys want
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: to do and then kind of putting it on them like, hey,
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: we came with these guys just so we all know, like,
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: let's just communicate, and it just falls on pay I
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: love them, listen, I love them. I love them I know.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: That's why I'm asking this question.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Josh for the boys? Is Josh for the boys? I hate,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: but hey, but he unquestionably is for the boys. To
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Josh's he's unquestionably for the boys.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: But hold on, hey, hey, I get it, and I
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: love I wish I could sit there and be like,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: there's no doubt about that, there's no doubt that Josh
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: paid is for the boys. But the story you just
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: told me tells.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Me there can be even if it is.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Just a sliver of doubt if he is for the boys.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm this is a guy that I know is
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: undoubtedly for the boys, and we can just learn from
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: what happened.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Because also in his defense, when it came to the food,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: we did only eat one meal that whole trip, so
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: really he just didn't come to breakfast. We didn't eat lunch.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: We had dinner at the stadium.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Like we weren't like, hey, you trying to
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: grab a bite to eat, nothing like. And when we
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: got breakfast, like you guys are kind of giving out
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: new pieces of information. You don't want to give out
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the information. We had one meal. We went and got
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: breakfast while he was doing ESPN.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Right we had a hate breakfast.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you guys had one meal, and you want to
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: come on the bus and be like, he didn't break bread.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: With us, he didn't sit with us. And you got
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: me in.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: A corner being like, is he for the boys? You're like,
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: I can't believe, to be fair, we had breakfast. If
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: you're getting just the information I'm getting, I'm thinking to myself,
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: God damn Hayt. Yeah, there's probably three or four times
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: you could have sat down.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: And broke bread with the boys.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking of a coffee break, I'm thinking of a
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: brun I'm thinking of a late meal before we.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Had worked out with us. He didn't work out with us.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: It all worked out, we worked out, but we also
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: didn't offer him.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but at that point we were protesting.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: A wee boy was protesting do we need a question? If?
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: And I'll put myself in it because I'm a part
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: of the book. Are we for the boys?
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: We're for the boys? Did we not get our candyses
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: on that flight to fly in at two thirty in
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: the morning in Atlanta? We're for the boys. We just
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: wish we would have understood that information, Like, did Josh
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: have to wake up early and grind it out on
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: ESPN while we slept in. Yeah.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: One part of that story that we need to set
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: the record straight is we wouldn't have been able to
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: get to Atlanta if we left the whole game. We
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: had to leave because of the way the hours work.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: We would have had to land in Dallas. So that's
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: why we had to leave the game early. So it
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: was only because we had to go to a.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Lat Yeah, but you could have sat and had zips.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: God, zips and zips. What does zips do? Rips?
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: It sets the tone and causes all of you to
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: break bread together and you, guys now get to be
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: the friend that I wish to you guys driving to
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: ZIP being like, I'm just telling you, man, you're about
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: to have a great meal. Yeah, we're gonna love it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: It's the perfect post playoff game meal to have.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: It would have changed the trajectory of the whole trip.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And when I was saying we went and had
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: zips that night, I was thinking more of like a
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: lunch the next day, not like, don't have zips at
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: all because we're stepping foot in it. Yeah.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Fair, that's we're talking two times, not just yeah.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. Yeah, but me,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: now that all the information is out, maybe he's a
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: little cleaner. Yeah, next time, let's do our best to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: start with the information. Yeah, but that doesn't make that
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: doesn't make for a good story.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe don't jump to conclusion so fast.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: The office now we had plenty more info to give you.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Tune in on the locker room this Wednesday. Man, that's
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Josh Bate.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: I almost wish you guys didn't tell me the last
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: part about only one time breaking bread, so I would
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: go in the locker room with a completely different mindset.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I know. But once you start saying that questioning, you know, like, oh,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I gotta get a little bit more information.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: But listen, if that is all the information you gave me,
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: and it was just wasn't just the one that wasn't
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: the the like the first part of the story you
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: gave me, it is pretty easy to sit there and
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: be like, there's doubt that can creep in?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Is he for the boys?
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Is he a selfish?
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: When he hit the Don't Have to Be the album?
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Zooming in from my hotel room at two thirty, I was, oh.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at notes you there was a ray Lewis debacle.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: What happened? Oh, don't bring up to ray Lewis debacle.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Oh no, because.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Not only was it ray Lewis, it was all since Will's. Yeah,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: right to the right of them, Michael Phelps and somebody
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: on this buss know who Michael Phelps was.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: That's don't look at me. I you know, I know
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: who Michael Phelps. I questioned this overall athletic ability.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: I know who Michael Phelps is. But yeah, it was me,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Michael Felt. Do you want to tell that you want
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: to set the stage first of what happened?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: I missed. I missed the part.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: We we wanted to meet ray Lewis. He's on the field.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: We didn't get to him. So we go up to
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: the suite. Were bum that we have to leave early.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: We're not going to get to meet ray Lewis. We
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: walk out of the suite door to leave. Ray Lewis
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: is walking down the hallway right towards us.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: But we didn't know that at the time that this happened.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: At the time, yeah, we're kind of standing out there waiting.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I think JP might be like, yeah, getting the yeah,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: doing some of this camera. We're waiting on JP because
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: we're getting ready to go to the elevator.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: So I walk out in the hall. I see Ray Lewis,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: and now I know Michael Phelps standing next to ray Lewis.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I didn't know it was Michael Phelps. I saw a
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: guy looked like he was ray Lewis's agent, is what
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I thought. There was no security around ray Lewis either,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: so I'm figuring, oh, this guy's like walking with him.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: He's so he's walking, but I see Ray I'm like, hey, Ray,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: well hang on.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: And by the time Clump spots ray Lewis, I had
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: already walked away from Clump close upside. I was like,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go take a piss before we hit this
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: long walk to the Will had to pee. I had
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: to pee, so I go back in on my own.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Peter Will goes back in the suite to pee. I'd
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: get try to get him to meet Will. JP season
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: all kind of going down from the hallway, and he
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: just keeps going. Will walks out of the bathroom.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: He's gone. Ray Lewis just disappeared. You're missing some great
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: pieces of that store. Clumb he just like we tried
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: getting them stop. He just kept walking right.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: So Ray Lewis is coming down the hallway. Clump is like, JP,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: go get Will. I run into the suite and I'm
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I bang on the bathroom door. I said, Ray Ray Ray.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, yeah, Ray Ray. And I'm standing there
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm peeing. And then I'm like, is
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: he fucking with me?
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: And I don't hear anything from him. I'm like, Ray
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Lewis is coming down the hallway. Then Will starts panicking
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: inside the bathroom where you can say that far.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: So I'm called I'm in the middle of pissing, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: then I'm like, okay, I need a push and get
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: this out. But as I push and get this out,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I start feeling like I gotta go with two. So
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I'm now it's now starting to get to the surface.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Doesn't break surface, doesn't come out at all, Like I'm
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: not in a sharding spot, but I'm feeling this. I'm
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: kind of just caught right now. I'm like, I need
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: and you know how slow I can be At times,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I need to wrap this up. I can't stop.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: You got to pitch it off. Yeah, And then I
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: get done and I'm still panicking. I'm like, our kids
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: just run out there with dry hands. It's gonna know.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I came out of the bathroom without washing my hands.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to wash real quick. I grabbed the paper
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: tell and then I run out there and he's gone
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: there like, dude, you just missed, and Clump had him
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: stopped for a second because we got He's like, we
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: got Will. I don't know what you said, but he
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: tried it back there. Yeah, he looks in there.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: It's just me sitting there outside of the bathroom trying
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: to get Will out. I look make eye contact with
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: ray Lewis. I'm like, I'll just be one second.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: He's right away. That's crazy going. And then because he's
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: like Clumb might have said something about getting on bust
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: with the boys, and then apparently Phelps was like, oh,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: you guys don't want me on busting with the boys.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: That's when I realized it was Michael Phelps by the
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: way he turns and he's like, what you guys don't
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: want Michael Phelps, I'm busting with the boys.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Michigan man, we want you too.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: But that in that moment, my O, Michael Phelps said, hey,
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: you guys don't want Michael Phelps on the bus.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: He hit the third person on you.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it right when he said it, I
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: saw his face and it was like that moment of
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: oh fuck, that's Michael Phelps. But I was so locked
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: on ray Lewis.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: I'm glad. But so I come out and they're like, bro,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: you just missed ray Lewis, just missed him. I did
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: shake his hands. No, No, I actually held it until
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I landed in at landed because again it wasn't one
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: that was like coming and breaking or nothing like that.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I just I kind of had to. And then I
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: didn't want to go to like on the plane, because
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it's going to be. Like he was.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Rattled, man, Yeah, I was ratt We're all walking to
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: the vans. He's talking about the ray Lewis thing. Then
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: he starts kind of like trying to defend himself, like
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: to be honest, like I've already met ray Lewis, Like
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: it's not right. And then we're all we all go
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: to get into the van and Will for whatever reason,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: goes right around this other suburban dropped to getting another man.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Too, like I'm talking to the camera like doing the
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: blog or whatever talking about situation. I just go off script.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I'm like breaking into another car, almost get in.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Like where are you going?
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: He's like this the car, Like, nah, this one, We're
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: all inside of it.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I got the back door already opened. I was like,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: oh shit, dude, holy shit, man, I'm sorry, I.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Know, I know Ray Lewis, Michael Phelps, both of them
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: busting with the boys.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Roy Lewis and Michael Phelips have an open invite
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: to bust with the boys.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Whatever you want. Was okay. So in your guys experience
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: with Ray sounds like you got him to stop and
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: wait for Will Compton. Did he know who Will Compton was?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I think he did. I think he was.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: He realized that Will was in the bathroom and was
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: kind of like, iin't waiting for this guy in the bathroom,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: And then that's fair.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: He made a better decision than we did with Ben Stiller.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Yes, okay, but the fact that you got Ray Lewis
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: to stop and look through a door for Will made it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Part of me was nervous too, because we have met
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: before and he's like oking to me, like when he's
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: had one of his speeches he's like he said, I
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: forget what he said. It was something like they didn't
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: know what the thing five to one, and I'm like, oh, ship,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: he's talking to me a little sadd bro.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: That is way what would be worse the Rock experience
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: or the Ray Lewis experience.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: But I would say it sounds like the Rock. I
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: would say the Rock. Yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: I like watching that back and just knowing how my
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: boy probably felt in that moment the Rock. The Rock
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: situation was like this, I can look back at this
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: like this is not Will's fault. His body failed him.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Yet day That's that's what this say is.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah for me like that, that's just that's purely one
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: hundred percent on me not taking the op and like
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: getting too uncomfortable too quick.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Yeahsight, I should have had a deck of cards with
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: me and just turn one over Star ray Lewis.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he started hitting him. Damn boys. It was fun though,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: and getting to be on the field before the Oregon
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Indiana game, it was a lot of fun. Mah Stein, Yeah,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: coach Stein.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Before that, Clump did get sketch into the room.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Clump got sketches that you should have saw
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Clump come up out of his chair and sprint. He said,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: was that sketch?
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: He yeah, he asked me, He said, was that is
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: that sketch outside? I said, yeah, looked at the game,
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: look back Clump was gone. Ten yard shuttle would have
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: been record setting. He's back in. We'll confident wait or

  Speaker 2: I said, you guys hit the post.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Pass the speed though, that's the more main moral of
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: that story.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Clump still got it. He still got it. Hit the workout, yeah,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: hit the workout. What'd you all do for the workout? Anything?
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Did some Zone two for a good thirty minutes, and
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: then we all each kind of did our own whatever
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: whatever lift we wanted to do. Nice I was doing legs, JPC.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: He already hit legs. So you still feel he's like,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get some uper body in and get
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: some arms to show him off for when we hit
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: that field before the Indiana, Oregon game. Uh, clump did
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: a few different things. I saw him over there. He
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: was sitting the dumbbell bench press. He gets up, he's
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: fired up, He's got fog all over his glasses. Buddy
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: was getting it in. Good, good, buddy was getting it in.

• 36:23
  Speaker 4: got a bone to pick with you, Will Compton.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, smiling as he introduces himself. Because we have

• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I've spoken about before that are good friends of ours.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: They also are good friends with Coach Stein. So anytime

• 36:39
  Speaker 2: to meet the OC. You gott to meet the OC.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Because we didn't get to last nime for whatever reason,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: we were there for what a couple of days. I
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: never got to run into Coach Stein, So we were
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: kind of connecting over that, and then talking about the
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: the Minchi. The minchi example, No, he wasn't all right, So.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: What hey, can you put down anything of the menchi stuff?
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Was miscommunication?

  Speaker 2: There was apparently a miscommunication. Let's let's through the agent.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Let's move on the agent being Eugene Lee.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Let's move on.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I don't want to cut anything, don't want
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: to get anything, but Eugene Lee is the miscommunication. Eugene

• 39:21
  Speaker 2: nothing but good things. It's just a puristy. He's like,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: you're crushing it. The one thing you're gonna have to
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: you're just gonna have to deal with. Like Nebraska's not

  Speaker 2: very good. He's like, look, you're gonna take kids. I
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: love the way you take kids. He's like, and it's

  Speaker 5: Correct me if I'm wrong, But he seems like he
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: comes off as a rich eyes and type, very well spoken,
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: knows when to throw a little jab in, but it's
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: always late, and.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: You could tell you could just hang with him, You
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: just hang with them. You just kind of watched him
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: operate because I was kind of just admiring him from
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: a far, thinking like, yo, that Scot van Pelt, what
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: a time man. Yeah, we had a video too that
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: we were about to get out that it would have
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: been a good one, but we had as organs walking
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: through the tunnel to go out to the game. They're
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: walking through. We kind of had to battle the security
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: on trying to like, hey, nobody can be here, like
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: all right, We just kind of kept pacing around until
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the team was walking through the tunnel and we got
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: him and I was like, let's go landing, and he
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: kind of like looks he has this possessed look in
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: his eyes. He like looks over and then realized he
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: saw he saw me and then like looks at me
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: and was like and then we were trying to get
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: the video up, and first play the game was a
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: pick six. He's like, hey, the video it was probably
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: let's keep that one. Will this caption good? And then
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: pick six and we're like, you know why we we
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: were talking about those We were yeah, we we we
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: talked about those rumors on the Breakdown the college football,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: the rumors of Indiana. We were talking the you know,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: it's a club, you you know though something we don't allegedly,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: but it's all legend. There's nothing that is proven out there,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: but the conversations have been picking up a little bit
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: on the internet. The Internet is crazy. What I say, Well,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: you got to it in Jpe before the game was
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: talking like maybe I'm a little old school, maybe this
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: is a hot take, but he's like, we gotta get
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: the we gotta take away the headsets, the iPads will
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: get on the sideline, like we got to do it
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: with the iPads and headsets, basically the technology of everything
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: and get back to some old school football. I was like, well,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: that's where the Connor Stallion stuff was coming up, with
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: the signs and everything else. Obviously teams are always trying
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: to figure out whose signs or was and I'm bringing
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: that up to JP. I'm like, that's actually a big
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: reason why the headsets came in. And now the rumors
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: were here and again rumors these there's no like, there's
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: there's again, this is all alleged, This is all alleged. Whatever,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: it's all whispers. We don't want to take it away
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: from Indiana exactly. That's away from the univers and as
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like looking into it because I love all like
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: diving into all that stuff, I hate you. We're in
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: the spot where you can bring more attention to it.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: It also could be just fodd or bullshit and everything else.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: But again, I've heard those whispers before it started coming
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: out more on the internet, and again they're just whispers
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: and rumors and allegedly, I have no fact the basis,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: know nothing to back it up other than being a
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: spectator like everybody else.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: Is because Devil's advocate. It could really be just the haters. Yeah,
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: there's no way they should be that good at this.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: But when those conversations, those whispers were happening after the game, Uh,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I looked at JP. I was like, Yo, there's your
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: hot take right there. Yeah, uh club, what do you know? No,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: I just uh, I did see they have a employee.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: I did not actually fully fact check this, but so
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: allegedly one of their employees is a cybersecurity guy.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: He majored in cybersecurity. I want to say, is he
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: a GA or an assistant coach?
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: That that's who they're alleging is the news slippery slope
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Slippery slope slippers allegedly not FactCheck Internet rumor or spectators
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: just like you guys.
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: Still happens that the team we're talking about just beat
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: the ship out of Clump's team.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: So I was holding JP like we're all sitting there
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: and we're kind of holding court at the end of
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: the game where we got to sit around some Morgon
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: fans and I was holding court, like, guys, we cannot
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: allow because it's gonna come. But people relating comparing Dan
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Lanning to James Franklin, we cannot let the Danny Franklin s, Yeah,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: we cannot do that. You guys have to fight. Your
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: fan base might do, but I'm just letting you guys
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: know this is what's gonna come. You guys got a
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: battle because you have a hell of a head coach.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: You have a hell of a head coach. And they
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: did get their ass meat. But if you look a
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: conversation is a lot of preseason around this Oregon team
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: and when they were having success, took before they took
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Penn State down, and was at the year that they
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: had Oregon was being seen and talked about as a
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: team that's that's probably one year away.
• 43:59
  Speaker 7: So what's up with the organ mascot, the duck?
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: What happened to the duck?
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: Apparently he's just ignoring die hard lifelong fans.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Oh no, oh, we saw one situation to speak into
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: that a little bit. Jack as far as the Oregon
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Duck and having a good quality exchange with the fans
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: of Oregon football. Jeremy Clump, who is a die hard
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Oregon Duck fan, was telling me to hang on and
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: back up and wanted JP to get the camera out
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: because Clump saw the Duck walking, he was gonna get
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: dapped up in him by him in the tunnel pregame,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: as the Duck was walking engaging with some fans, saw
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Clump look Clump in the eye. Clump is stretched out
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: like a little kid trying to get their favorite players autograph.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Reached out over the fence. Fence almost falls over and breaks.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Grown man by the way, grown man, grown ass man
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: reaches over and Duck just looks at him and kind
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: of walks by him. Doesn't give Clump a doubt. Is
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: that true, Clump? That's true? Yes, it was brutal. The
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Duck dud about the Clump curse. Yeah, the Duck.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: I wanted JP to do it for the LA is
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: like a joke that the Duck accepted me as a
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Ducks fan, and it backfired.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: More than anything.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: It was brutal at least though he didn't even he
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: like gave me like a emotion to like he acknowledged
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: and I wanted to high five.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: And oh yeah, no one around him. It wouldn't have
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: stopped him.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: It would have took him one second.

  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Is this a clean take? This is probably a clean take,
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: but it's kind of like Kempe's Natural Food's Clean Take,
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Kevin's Central Food Clean Take. Here here's my take.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: If you're in line for Southwest, go up to somebody
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: and ask, hey, what number are you in?
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: File in?
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: Don't sit at the front and count people one, two, three, four,
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: and then get right in front of somebody else just
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: to go in. I was a sixteen in the flight
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: home and this chick with four bags on her she's
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: counting boom, one, two, three, four, fifteen people come. I
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: know I'm sixteen, and she goes, excuse me and goes
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: right in front of me. I don't say nothing. I'm
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: thinking of myself. This lady, this nice young lady.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Oh you folded, folded like a lawn chair. I'm like,
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: she's gotta be b thirty. So much of that.
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to look over her shoulder when she's putting
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: the thing in her phone down to get it scanned.
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: Then I'm like, what number is it? I can't see you,
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: guys know my eyes. We get there and I know
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: she's got this pride about her the way she's walking.
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: They stop her right she's about to get on the
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: plane and they're like, man, you actually have three bags
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: you have to actually put one of those luggers. Can
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: you stand over here to the side so we can
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: get these people on the plane. And I just gave
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: her the biggest smile walking by her because I know
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: she tried to cheat the fucking system.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Dude, what number was she? I don't know, I don't know.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: She could have been clean take.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: Mike Kevin's clean take is if you're in a Southwest flight,
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: just stand in the line you're supposed to be. You
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: have a little bit of communication, which is a big
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: part of this podcast, and just say, hey, what number
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: are you? Or you're eleven, I'm fifteen. Let me go
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: a couple back.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: What are you?
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: I'm sixteen? Perfect, I'm right in front of you that
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: I'm ay fifteen. Right here, I'm B fifteen.
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: Let's supposed to have the boarding pass up.
• 51:58
  Speaker 8: And because I had the same situation, same flight, I
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: was a thirty one, so very front and I run
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: up there, old man, you can tell you don't he
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: means business.
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: I immediately just flash him a thirty one, gives me
• 52:09
  Speaker 7: the thumbs up.
• 52:10

  Speaker 4: Mine was last year sitting and I started the tradition
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: of every Sunday we take a jar designated gratitude jar,
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: and we get little sheets of paper and you write
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: down three things, three to five things that you're grateful
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: four that happened that week. Could be something as small
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: as I love the sushi role that I had, or
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: it could be trips with the boys, and you write
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: it down and then at the end of the year
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: or on January one of the following year, you go
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: back through, dump the piece of paper out, and then
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: you just take turns picking up reading it. I could
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: read mine sometimes, maybe I'll read sitting sometimes, but you
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: keep switching off and you just kind of recap the
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: year through these little sheets of gratitude, and it truly
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: does make the week fit feel more full when you
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: do it. Even we just take the cause it takes
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: three minutes to do if that, and it's amazing how
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: much it helps and kind of shifts your mindset and
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: perspective on everything that's going on.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: That's nice. Sex and gratitude.
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Jared actually told me one that him and his
• 57:08
  Speaker 5: girlfriend do this weekend that I was a big fan of,
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: and it is the fake third roommate.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: In their house.
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, the fake third roommate. It's like when you're
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: when you go into the kitchen and your sniff and
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: other didn't do the dishes. You're like, hey, why did
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: you do the dishes? Now, it's like friction. There's always
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: like a level of a scoreboard taking place between you
• 57:27
  Speaker 5: and your significant other. But by having this imaginating third roommate.
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: I can't remember the roommate's name that Jared and his
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: girlfriend gave him. But Derek, Okay, Like Jared will walk
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: into the room and the dish is will be done.
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: But bro, I can't believe Derek didn't do the dishes.
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: Now it's hard, it's a little more fun. Now you
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: guys both talk about Derek and you guys just do
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: the dishes together. Yeah, And that's like a nice little
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: weave round of having some animosity keeping a scoreboard. I
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: think it's a nice little move something I might think
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: about implementing in my house.

  Speaker 5: The Buccaneers did not make the playoffs, so their season's over.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So Boogie's been chilling, Levante's been chilling, So.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: There's no so Levante's got nothing to do. Yeah, and
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 5: based on how you talked about how he was in Nebraska,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: he ain't doing nothing either.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: No, he chills, chills. Lavante is a home body, which
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: I love about him. Gotta love that. Anytime we were

  Speaker 2: have your driver's license now these days?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I have my job.

  Speaker 2: So Levante didn't have a driver's license when he was
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: alterroughout college.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: Which, hey, Levonte, that's a heady play, by the way,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: that's a HELI play.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: So I was basically his car service everywhere. But we
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: you know, after workouts and everything else, we'd always go
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: back to uh, we'd always go back to my townhouse.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: And the only time we'd leave the house is when
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Boogie wanted to go get chili cheese, dog gets Sonic,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: which was right down the road. So that's the only
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: time we would ever leave the house. And I would
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: always ask him, I'm like, hey, do you want to drive?
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Like I'll sit in the passage. Shit, we can go
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: to a parking lot, we can drive around the parking lot. Yeah,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: and it's just never He's like, no, no, I'm good, So,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: mister David, or can I can I also call him Boogie?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: So for everybody listening, I might have broke I might
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: have broke it down on a time he's been on
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: the doing a guest to break it down. Sure, I
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: would love to hear it. Boogie. He might not know
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: the reason I gave the name Boogie, but he understands
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: the lure behind it. You remember why I me and
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: so started calling you Boogie?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I know. I remember that? Is it
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: the story of over at the San Diego.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: Where you all headed. So it came Boogie. Dude's a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: dog on the football field. Yeah, he's got some pit
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: bull tendencies. Sure, you know the red rocket everything else.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: And so I told Boogie, he you know he would uh,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: I won't get in all that stuff, But I told
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: I remember sitting in the meeting room, and I was like,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: I always wanted a pit bull when I, you know,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: had my own house at all the other stuff. I
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: have an English bulldog now, but I always wanted a
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: pit bull. And I had a pit bull for a
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: little bit back with my ex girlfriend, and I told Boogie,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: I said, whenever I get my pit bull, I'm naming
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: him Boogie, and I will I will then be naming
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: you after I name my dog. So whenever I get
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: a pit bull, whatever I name him, that's gonna be
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: your nickname. And I got him it was Boogie. So
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Boogie's name was Boogie because you know a lot a
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: few reasons out there, the fellas out there that are
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: breaking that down, that are reading between the lines, but
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: that is where his name, that is where his name
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: was born. Does it not a pit bull name that
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: dog Boogie? And I told Boogie that that was going
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: to then be his nickname.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: I know we don't have to get too deep into
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 5: the weeds here, and I know you're not a big
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 5: movie guy, but when I hear Boogie, you allude to
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: a couple of things. I think of Boogie Knights. Never
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: saw a Booge Knight, That's what I was thinking.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: So it has nothing to do solid movie. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: that's a good movie, But.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: It would say a lot about the nickname if you
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 5: were naming him after Boogie Knights. It's so I'm glad
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: we got that out of the way.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad we got that. And so we started
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: calling him Boogie and I was like, whenever I get
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: my dog, bro, that is what I'm gonna name my dog.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: I love that this podcast is going to essentially turn
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: into me sitting here while we will tell stories and
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: Levonte laughs, and that's kind of the vibe of what
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: it's going to be. Let's let me just ask like
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 5: a quote podcast question for Lavonte.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: Bogie. When did you think you were going to make
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: it to the.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: NFL And was it after you had twenty seven tackles
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 5: against Michigan in twenty eleven or twelve?
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Nah, man, I honestly didn't think I was gonna make
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: it until after our big to a championship junior year.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, Wisconsin. Oh oh, a big twelve championship.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that junior year. I had like eighteen tackles of
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: that game, I think. And I had started getting calls
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: from agents. I ain't know what was going on, you know,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: people call like who was any people contacted me asking
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: me about you know, representations and all that stuff, and
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I ain't have I I ain't going to
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: the NFL in my mind at the time, and then
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: when all that started happening, that's when I realized, oh,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: it's a real possibility because all these agents hitting me
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: up trying to get me see if my mom come
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: out early into the draft. But in my mind, I
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: never was gonna do it. But from that point on,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: I knew I had a chance to make it.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: To lead, bro, your law is like in my life,
• 1:06:12

• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: You're like, Jesus Christ is Cat's moving. And then Will
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 5: tells a story about bo Polini after the game in
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 5: that and it's like, oh, all those things add up.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: I meet Will and then I see you on the
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: field and it's like, bro, this dude's moving lateral and laddle.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: Now fast our backtrack a little bit, but fast forward
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 5: this story. I'm at the SEC Championship. We're sitting there
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 5: and a nice tail, drinking coffees, and some guy walks
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: up and you're, dude, you're mentioned once a month in
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 5: my life, like you're a cat that like, hey, levonta
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: day of long fe usually out of Will Compton's mouth,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 5: but like it's everywhere at all times. I'm sitting at
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: the before the SEC Championship. It's the morning of we're
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: all having coffees in some Georgia. Like a defensive assistant
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: coach walks up and starts like breaking down stuff and
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 5: he talks about this cat named Yoshi and this guy
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: named Levonte David Boom. Will Compton's eyes get like that
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: and they start don't breaking and I'm like this.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: He said he was at Fort Scott And then that's
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: when I started to scoot up from my chair.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: And I'm thinking to myself, Dude, this dude was in
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: junior college as well, so I'm basically told my little
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 5: around the world story about you to be like, I
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: really want to hear about your process of like high
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: school to the NFL, because I mean, there's some stats
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: here that Will's gonna read off later. He found these stats.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: They're absolutely beautiful. But like this cat that I'm looking
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: at on this piece of paper, and then hearing like
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: junior college, I think you, Will was ahead of you,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: and then Will got hurt and then all of a sudden.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: You were never like eight people.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: I would love the entire, the entire breakdown from you,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 5: take as long as you want to, because it's it's true.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: It's truly fascinating.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I started, you know, playing in high school.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: I played at Miami, you north Western Senior High School,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: you know, a prestige high school down here in Miami,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: won two state championships and I was here. Uh, I
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: never lost when I was started. I didn't start playing
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: Boston until my junior year. So my freshman and sophomore year,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: I was really just you know, everybody who I was
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: hung around, you know, it was older than me. There
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: was like you know, seniors or juniors and stuff like that.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: So my freshman and sophomore year, I was just out
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: there having fun, you know, just doing whatever in high school,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: just you know, skipper class, you know, uh, just doing
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: silly things a high school kids do. And then you
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: know when I started, you know, getting serious and football
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: because I played junior boxington my sophomore year and I
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: started getting series in football. And you know, by the
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: time it was time for me to graduate, you know,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't have the proper GPA to be able to
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: you know, go on to a four year university. So
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: I signed to Militancy State out of out of high school.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: But I didn't qualify. Uh uh Many DZ was the
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: linebacker coach, and he would putting me a big time,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: you know. Uh uh. He the only one who really
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: you know, stepped stuck with me throughout that whole process.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: He was trying to get me to come really bad
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately it didn't work out. And then, uh it
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: was it was a thing that we was going to.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: I was going to Great Shirt and then ended up
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: going to Milton State in the spring. But something happened
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: during the summer back at home in Miami. Uh that
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: kind of like you know spoop. My parents, so they
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: wanted me to get out, you know, make a decision
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: to get out and go to school. And Eddie Brown
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: Antonio Brown's father was a coach at Fort Scott, CA
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: in college, and he reached out to my parents and say, hey,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: we got to spot to him over here in junior colleges.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: He's gonna have to do a year and a half
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: or two to get an another opportunity to go to
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: a big, a full year school. And I ended up
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: doing that and my first day and Fort Scott quit.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to be there, obviously. And then the
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: reason why I quit is because we had a conditioning test.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I tell this story a thousand times and
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: I just can't believe that actually this was actually a
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: conditioning test. We ran for two twenties, sixteen, one tens
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: and twenty forties, and at all time and as pressure
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: is coming in, you can't have men't drink any water
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: or nothing like that. Only people can drink waters like
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Yad's been already. And on the second two twenties, I
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: passed out. You know, I'm on the ground, flat on
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: the ground. Coach Sims told Jeff Sims he's the he
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: was the head coach at the time, cursing me out,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: called me all the time, the names, and my daughter
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: can do this. My three year old daughter can and
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: do this. Uh, you mind, the guys are weak and soft,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: and you know me, I'm you know, I'm getting pissed off.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: What else I man, I just basically like, man, fuck this,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gone and I quit. So uh, in the back
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: of my mind, you know, uh, I was gonna go
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: home and be a firefighters like football is done, my
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: football career is over. I'm go home and just make
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: a career for myself right away. And then uh, Luddie
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Brown put me to the side, like, man, trust the man,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: just stick it out. It's gonna work out. It's gonna
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: work out. So the whole time, I'm dare, I'm just
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just angry. I'm pissed. I'm mad at everybody, and
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know b K told to destroyed Will. But
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: the first damn pads we're doing, I came in as
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: a safety. They had met playing safety. So the first
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: damn pad we're doing one on one and you know, well,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: you know BK is the guy at the time, so
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll push that right this side. Nah, I
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: want him, So I'm trying to earn my strights now.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: So the first player and one on one, K runs
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: a slint and I hit him, like I literally like
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: hit him because I'm mad, and me and b K
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: getting into it and this and that, and uh, everybody like, oh,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: what's going on? Like break it up? Break it up?
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: And then like everybody looking at me like, oh, man,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: like this dude is you know, he's crazy because you
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: know b K. Nobody does BK like that. So I'm like,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: because was the recruit.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: BK was the recruit that was gonna lead, you know,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: he was like, uh, he was like the bell the
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: ball running.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: K was one of the guys who was putting uh
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: for Scott on the map, you know. So I'm like, okay,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going go against him. And then it happened again
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: and they started firing and stuff like that, and then
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: uh it transpired to uh nine on seven, I'm uh
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: nine on seven, I'm a little strong safety where it's
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: covered four and they got this uh this top back
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: that coach Sim's love and they do like a little
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: shred of his own stretch play and then I run
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: the alley and cover four. After covering four, taking court
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: of safety and I hit him like one of the
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: biggest hits I probably to this day I ever had
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: in all of life. And the Paul flew away in
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: the back of the end zone the opposite way, and
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: everybody's going crazy, going crazy, and the night meetings coaches
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: put me to his office is like, you want to
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: be my linebacker, You're starting you making this team, and
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: the rest is history. I ended up making the team.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: And the whole story about that is like going through
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: all that, only twelve man out of state guys can
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: make the ross at the time, and I'm like at
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the rocker. So I had to spy
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: my way up all the way there to get to
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: the top of the roster. And I ended up making
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: the roster, and then from that point end up going
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: to the University of Nebraska. You know, U b. K
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: was already at the time, you know, uh will you know,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: reaching out and stuff like that. Those guys welcomed you
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: over armed.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: Because Yoshi was there. That's when Yoshi comes up, because
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: by they were recruiting a recruiting class right before. Who's BK.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: Brendan Kenny got you? Thank you all right?
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 5: I know a lot of people right met your back
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 5: then in BK. They're talking about everybody from Nebraska.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon Kinney, who was a receiver in Nebraska. He
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: was like a highly record guy.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember you talking about this cat. He was
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 5: supposed to be like the one and then just got
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 5: a little yippie.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he like dislocated his thumb. Right, dude was super athletic,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: a great leader. He was a he was a stud.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: But him and Yoshi were already there was was JPP.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: Your class are in that same class with BK and Yoshi.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: He was the same class DK.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that the only one that they lost out
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: on was JPP. He went to South Florida. So when
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: Levante was coming out, it was basically down to Nebraska
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: and South Florida. Okay, and everybody ultimately got Levante recruited
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: to Nebraska. So when Levonte was coming in, he was
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: his Juco All American linebacker, like a four star and
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: the Juico rankings coming out. He's a big dog that
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: was coming So he had great relationships with like BK
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: and Yoshi. They're telling me Zoe Wayley the linebacker room
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: about Levante, and so everybody was just kind of getting
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: connected everyone's and your.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 5: Two biggest offers were Nebraska and USF.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Nebraska USF at the time, until I found out
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: I had a lot more offers that I didn't know about.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: But I didn't know that. Yeah, that's crazy. I just
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: remember a can coach bo just talking about how Levante
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: like we need to, you know, hey, reach out to him,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: like they want him to feel as comfortable as possible.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're like hoastin do you? During during your story,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 5: you talked about how you weren't eligible. You though you were,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: didn't start to your junior hanging out the older kids.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 5: You're skipping class as a guy who was also like
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 5: on the fence. Like when I was going into my
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 5: senior year, a lot of schools came and recruited me,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 5: and they're like, we would clearly love to have you,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 5: but your grades are there, we don't know if you're
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 5: gonna make it. And so a couple of schools didn't
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 5: offer because of that, Wisconsin and a couple of other those,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: but like I ended up making it. That story has
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 5: been well documented. I'm busting with the boys for you.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: What was it like when you're standing on the barrel
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 5: looking at it like, Okay, I need to be eligible,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: whether it's the sliding scale of the ACT and your GPA,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 5: like what didn't take place for you to be able
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 5: to take the next step, Because I mean, clearly when
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 5: guys get d one offers, we like people think it,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: but it's very clear that you get a silver spoonschef
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 5: so far up your ass immediately in high school, like
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 5: you become like the guy in school where the teachers,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 5: the principal, everyone kind of like looking out for Okay,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 5: this kid, we know the direct line of what his
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 5: future can be as opposed to all these other kids,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 5: and it's like we hope it works out for them.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 5: They're gonna go to college and figure out their lives.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 5: And so for me in school, it was this kid
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 5: clearly can do something in the NFL, or maybe make
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 5: it to the NFL. Let's at least get him to college.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: So there was a big push from like my student
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 5: counselor the head coach, the principal of the school, teachers,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 5: like everyone was kind of in it to be like,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 5: let's get Taylor to college and then he can someone
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 5: can take him out take care of him from there.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: But you being in Miami.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 5: It didn't work out that way, Like what did not happen?
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: Like how bad was the GPA? I just kind of
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 5: want to understand that a little bit more.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was hard hitted. Man. My whole thing was just,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I was just wanted to have a GPA
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: two point on GPA to play football. You know, I
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't really thinking about nothing else. I just wanted to
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: play play football because it was really good. At the time.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: I was having a lot of fun with my homeboys,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: and I was having a lot of success. And then
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: you know when you have that those those me with
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: your counselors going to your senior year and trying to
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: see where you're at and things like that. You know
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: that me and it was like, hey, man, like you're slacking,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Like if you want to go to school, you got
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: to you know, pick it up. And then that's when
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: I saw my scholarships get taken away and things like that.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: So my senior year I was pretty you know, pretty behind,
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: just trying to catch up and stuff like that. And
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: then when it was trying to take the acts and
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: all that, my grade, that my score didn't match up
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: with my GPA. You know, I ended up with a
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: two point three GK I graduated with, but I had
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: like an eight team on the ACT. So by the
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: time it was trying to you know, make those decisions
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't adding up, so I wasn't able, It
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be able to qualifying things like that, So
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: end up going dream college route, you know, kind of that.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: I think that whole process just you know, humbled me
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: and just helped me understand that, you know, how important
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: you know, school is and school is and stuff like that.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: I always start like, as long as I'm good at football,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: I'll be okay. But that's not the case. And that's
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: something that I kind of, you know, just you know,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: that's something that just holed me. And I definitely, you know,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: kind of like just took that for what it was
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: and I took it from a sign of God and
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: just went on had and I went to junior college
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: and I was able to you know, graduate my aid
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: right away and then going to ahoy Y University. Even

• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: we went to a bowl game and we beat BLN
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: College in a bowl game. And then the next year
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: that we played, we ended up playing in the National
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: Championship against playing again, and that's when we played against
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: Camera and he mopped. Now we lost.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: He mopped.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: He was he had he had a spot of game,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: but we lost. On the last second part return was
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: going to win. The car was running. We put in
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: the all like thirty something seconds left and we was
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: up by I want to say two, and the punt
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: ended up going in bounce and the dude ended up
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: catching the right up the middle and scored a touchdown
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: and we lost the game.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: What a way to lose a national chance.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a clip out there about out it about it.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: Uh you know if you can see probably at the sideline,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: like everybody soon he caught the ball. Everybody just dropped like.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: And the crazy thing about that is, I ain't you know,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: trying to my own warn or nothing. But I was
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: supposed to be on punt team that but they wanted
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: me to spy Cam new and so uh they took
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: me off and that ended up happening.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: They sound horn, but they did take me up. Then
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: you ask him, was the asking use the mic? Yeah?
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: And yes, oh he was Cam Newt was on the
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: blind team. Yeah.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 6: How is it playing against Cam Newton and jucab that's
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 6: gonna be that's crazy.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: I mean for me, you know it was. It wasn't nothing.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: But he definitely was an intimidating figure. You know how
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: he is right now to today. Still he was an
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: intimidating figure, you know. Uh, he had all that aura
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: about him. But uh, we should have won that game.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that we should have won that game.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: But and the crazy thing is, my boy Jasminhawkins, the
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: running back. He won office the m v P and
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: I won deepest m v P. So that goes to
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: show that we should have won the game.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: He said it was nothing still still truly the heart
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, Cam Newton is an action figure on
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: the football field, no doubt. Not to take nothing away
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: from me. You've always been like an undersized cat.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah I have. But you know, at the heart of
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: a lion man.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: You know how I go, no question, no question. In
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: the Miami Northwestern team, he talks about how he ended
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: up you know, the Middle Tennessee State and everything else.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: But Lavante played with the dude named Sean Spence, a
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: linebacker that was coming that was like highly ranked, Like
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: dude was a study. He played at the University of Miami.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: Then I want to say he got drafted to Pittsburgh, right, Yeah,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: he was a stun And I want to say, like
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: nine guys off that defense ended up going to playing
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: college ball. Levante was like him going to MTSU and
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: everything else. Like Levante wasn't part of the crop that
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: every coach and teacher and people are rallying around. We
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: got to get this kid, We got to get this
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: kid to the next level. I'm sure that you know,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that they were having conversations with you. But
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: Leavante wasn't like the pick of the litter on that
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: Miami Northwest, no doubt, no.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: Doubt that we had We had a whole bunch of guys.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: We had like two five stars, maybe like six four stars.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: We had eight guys Stony vers Miami out of my class.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that wait class. I remember a lot of
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: guys from your school was signing with the University of Miami.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: That is just nuts.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 5: In my high school there was we had two guys
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 5: go D one and I was one of them. So yeah,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 5: and the other kid was a four point not too
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 5: that he had no problems at all. Got to fix
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 5: that kid right there. I know, I know we're sticking
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 5: a lot on the high school part. But did you
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 5: wanted to go to Miami? Were you in your hearts? Like,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 5: if I could go to any school, be Miami?
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did, I did? You know, obviously I got
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of love for I grew up in Miami,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: saying watching those guys, uh, you know Johnathan them did
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: j William, Shawn Taylor and those guys, I definitely want
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: to go there, but it was a chance that I
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: can go. I could have went out of j go,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: you know, but they wanted me to go. They wanted
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: me to attend in the spring, but I wouldn't be
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: able to I wasn't gonna be able to graduate earlyer.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: I had it going the summer. So they ended up
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: falling back from me. But you know, it's all good,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: ain't trip. It worked out something?
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 5: Now you did mention something a story for later about
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 5: how Nebraska. I was like Nebraska and USF those are
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 5: your two schools you go to, Like there were actually more,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 5: but we can get into that. Whatso was somebody hiding
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 5: offers from you so you would go to Nebraska? Did
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 5: did Bo Polini and will Compton take away your offers?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 5: So you just go to Nebraska?
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: No? No, No, I just found out later that I
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: had a lot of other schools that was very interested
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: in me. But uh, you know, obviously, you know, uh,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: people wanted me to go to Nebraska, and you know,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that, but you know, don't don't don't
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: just you know kind of like don't hide my office
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: away from me and stuff like that. Just I just
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: that's just like a motivating factor for me and stuff
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: like that, and I did. I did a lot of
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: my own recruiting too when I was there at Fort Scott.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: When I saw myself being able to, you know, go
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: to the to a four year university, I started to
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: do a lot of things on my own, reaching out
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: to schools, emailing schools and stuff like that. I know
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: when I was at UH, when I was in high school,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: one of my FIU Florida International University as a team,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: so who was recruiting with Crystal Ball and you know
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: another guy, coach Cooley, Coach Cooley or whatever, and then
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: they end up going to Cooley ended up going to
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: Florida State, and I remember he was only big time,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: so I ended up emailing him and getting recruited a BYuT.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: Florida State too about it at the time. So those
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: was one of the schools. So I found out, you know,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: who was really interested in me coming out of JUCO
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: and other schools I heard. I heard l s U,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: I heard Tennessee, I heard Oklahoma, a bunch of schools,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: but at the time I was already signed to the Braska,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: So you know what, you know what that was?
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: Those are those are those are handshake deals happening with
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: the JUCO staff and and and.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 5: It sounds like because that Georgia, that Georgia assistant, we
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 5: talked at the SEC Championship and you were talking about
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 5: how like Yoshi and Levante were kind of like a
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 5: package deal because what they wanted Yoshi.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they wanted to Yoshi, and then they were like,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: if you want Yoshi, you gotta take this Levante kid
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: as well. Yeah. I understand that. So because Scott was
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: like a little fort, Scott was like a little pipeline
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: for Nebraska. Yeah, yeah, it seems it definitely seems like it.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 5: When did you find out that you had potential offers
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 5: from LSU and Oklahoma, possibly Michigan and a couple of
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 5: other schools.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't find out after my rookie my rookie year.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: I know a former coach who would coach that for Scott. Uh.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: He came to one of the games and then we
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: were just sitting down talking and then he ended up
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: telling me, you know, he said, you know, you had
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of other schools that was interested in you. Man,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that it went down the way it did,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: but you know, you know, it was a bunch of
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: other school interested in you and stuff like that, but
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: I was like, it's all good, man, it all worked
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: out for me. I going to Nebraska met Will had
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: some good times, ended up being the second round pick
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: out of that. So I ain't tripping that all.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're not tripping, But like, I have this image
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 5: in my head if you grabbing coffee with this guy,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 5: this guy, and then I don't know if you've seen
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 5: the SNL skid of like Chris Farley when he's sitting
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 5: there and they're like, sir, are you where you're not
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 5: drinking coffee but actually decafeinated coffee crystals? And then Chris
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 5: Frawley has a complete crash out that was more for
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 5: sure than anybody else. But that that's how I imagine Levante, Like,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 5: were you like livid when that happened because you definitely
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 5: like slowly in this podcast, I'm just realizing this cat.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 5: The reason why he's success is the classic chip on
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 5: the shoulder nobody wants me. I'm gonna prove everybody wrong,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 5: Like how'd you play? It wasn't nothing to me?
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: I can't nothing.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 5: It's like, okay, all right, I got you out with you?
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 5: Like did you was that like a Michael Jordan and
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 5: I took that personal moment.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I didn't take it personal, but I
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: was just like I was kind of like to described
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: like damn, like why would he do that? Like confuted,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: like why would he do that? You know, at the time,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: you know, they wanted the best of hand, you know
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like let us decide where we want
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: to go and things like that, And you know, I
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: was I wasn't. I was kind of taken back by
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: but you know, I was at the point where just like,
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of like, it's nothing I canna
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: do about it now, you know. So I just you know,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: took it for what it was and just moved on.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: He ain't having a fourteen year career with that Nebraska.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: Do you believe that, Levante?
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know, but I think
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: my mindset back then. I think I may have, but
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: you know, everything just you know, you know, guy had
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: predestined journey for me, you know, so you know, he
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: wanted me to go to the basket. So I ended
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: up going to the basket. I learned a lot of
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: football at the Brassat. I can tell you that, you
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: know coach Bopelini, you know he was a very sharp,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: you know, football guy, even though you know we play
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: all these coveres in the spring, in the summer, and
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: then we get to the game and just run eating
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: double bracket.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: Even double bracket, and then we do everything under the
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: sun defensive and then you get to the games and
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: it's it's even double bracket. You know what is it?
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: A back angle back angle one? Uh, you just run
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: a few things and then everything would be check based
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: so off of formations tendencies, which is I feel like
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: that is where you kind of get the uh, the
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: leg up of seeing the game, seeing the game from
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: a different lens, especially when you get to the NFL
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: and you realize some of the vanilla teachings and things
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: that go on, and you're like you almost tell the coordinator,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: You tell your coach like, yeah, yeah, I can handle
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: I can handle seeing a bunch set and you want
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: to get to something else or if we go to empty,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: you can trust me to check it out of it
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: and go to something else, because it was everything was
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: predicated off of formations and tendencies. With coach Polini, I
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: love it.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how was all right, cozy up.

• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: to the episode, talk about talk about your first year,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: talk about your experience at Nebraska. You obviously you come in,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: you know you were you were operating. So when Levonte
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: came in, they were gonna make him, you do the
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: whole thing, like I don't know where he was predetermined
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: on the staff's list, but making them earn everything that
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: he's going to get. So when we're starting off training camp,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: he's not even working on the fields with the ones
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: and twos. And I want to say, Levontine was a
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: four at the time, and he's just on a Yeah,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: he's just on a separate field to where you know,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: every other period they might have the fours go off
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: and do something else, but Lavonte's practicing with the fours
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: and then sure enough, you know, injury after injury starts happening.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: And he's starting week one of his first year at Nebraska,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: where it's not like he has everything put together, uh,
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: you know, with the installs and everything else. It's almost
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: like he he had to go out there because Sean
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: Fisher tours a c L. There's a crack block that happened.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: You know when when uh, when tempers get high in
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: training camp, guys kind of start getting more physical. It's
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: just offense first defense. Every day, a crackback happens, a
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: tough block happens. That dude falls into Sean Fisher, who
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: was starting in the dining package at the time as
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: the solo backer, and he tears his a c L.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: He gets carted off. I'm now the solo diningbacker like
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: Sean Fisher, and I oh broke his fibula. That's right,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: you're right, you're right. He broke his leg. And then
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: in the in the when it was Nickel and Bass,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: like it'd be me and Fish, and then when it
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: was a single backer it was Sean Fisher. Now I'm
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: the single backer going into week one because I'm a
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: sophomore at the time, Sean was a sophomore. And then
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: the week of the opening week. Who is the team
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: that we played Western Kentucky Opening week? On Thursday in
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: ur just walked through jogged through style practice. I break
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: my foot on just a little stick route. Earlier in
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: the week, I took this wheel route up and I
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: thought I like felt something in my foot, but they
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: am arid and nothing or they X rayed and nothing
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: was there. And turns out there was just like a
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: hairline that you said, it's like hard to see. Maybe
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: hard to see, but I had like a hairline. And
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: then on Thursday, I plan on the foot and it
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: just my foot just breaks. So I just like dropped
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: to the ground. I try like taping, I just can't walk,
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: Like minute by minute goes by and like I can't walk,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: I rails. My foot's broken. So now Levante is the
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: single backer going out there and open week this first
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: year in Nebraska, first year in Nebraska. Trying to keep
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: it said above water had a summer with us.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 5: You were playing in the kiddie pool starting the camp,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 5: like you're you're over in the raptors, Like, yeah, take
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 5: them over there, they'll figure it out what they do
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 5: to being a starter in a week one Yeah, and
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 5: Will's will.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: When I first got there, it's uh, it's a conditioning
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: test called the beat test. And you know Dobby, you
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: know cold Dobson.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the best.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then I failed the beat test. So we
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: have a meeting of all the new guys, you know,
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: the income and recruits, I mean the freshman in the
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: transfers or whatever. And I'm getting chewed out, you know
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, you know, Dobby telling me, you know,
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to be an example for the young guy,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: and you are here, Fella, your beat test and this
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: and that and that chewed me out. So I'm already
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: behind on that part. I'm like, hey, I'm making, you know,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: a bad first impression.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I feel.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: Explained.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 5: Explain the beat test for people that don't know the
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 5: beep test myself included.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: So beat test number one. You should be able to
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: pass the beep test. Okay, Okay, let's just let's just
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: get that away. Just because you're hearing that me and
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: Levante failed, it doesn't mean it's a hard thing because
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: it's not. What's up. Yeah, it's like this pacing test
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: to where you you run, you run across however long
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: it is. It's not like that far. Let's just say,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: what like twenty to thirty yards.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think it'd be like thirty two
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: yards or something.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: Something like that. And then like when that when it beeps,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: you run and then you reset, and then when it
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: beeps again, you run back when you reset, and then
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: it just paces like it gets a little faster, and
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: it's truly like when I failed. I failed as a freshman.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: There were maybe two or three guys that failed out
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: of our entire class of like, let's just say twenty
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: five to thirty guys. So it's a it's a it's
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: a tough feeling when you fail the beep test.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess it's pretty embarrassed. Just keep it real,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a strategy that goes into it. I didn't
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: pick my you know, I thought it was a bit bad. Well,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: if I'm sprinting out there trying to you know, look
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: all good or whatever and it and they caught up
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: to me because I didn't know. As it gets closer
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: to the end, it goes faster and you have less
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: rest time. So y'all give you the picture stuff in it,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: so you know the second time I did it, I
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: had to do it inside the weight room, and I
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: ended up passing it because I had a better strategy.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: And then uh, going on to training camp, I remember
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: when I realized, like, oh man, I got to break
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: my way in it because you know, we an individual
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: in the individuals right and you know Coach Eckler was
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: outline back coach at the time. Coach Mike Eckler, he
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: used to stuff team coording that Nebraska right now familiar. Yeah,
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: it goes you know when you're in a it goes
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: ones up first and then tools. Everybody's behind. Shit, I'm
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: like I'm like five behind everybody, like dang. So like
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: it shows like man, I got to work my way up.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: And then you know the training camp, you split seals
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: and you know all the one tools are on, like
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: the the turf or whether the indoor or turf.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: It just depended on the day. But yeah, you guys
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: would be over there on the grass field.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: We was over on the grass like, I'm over there
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: with you know, with the walk ons and the freshman Yeah,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, what is going on? And I'm like
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: your coach, Yeah, the GA coaching and stuff like that.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: I'm looking like, dang, well, I got some work to do.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: And then uh, you know, and everything just kept on
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: going and kept on unfolding. I think it was a
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: it was you and Fish Low, Aley, Ergon, Martin, Ye,
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: Matthew May Uh Graham started and then it was uh,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: then it was me. I was like way in the
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: back and then I ended up just you know, uh
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: trying to learn understanding and stuff like that. I was
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: getting thirteen reps I would against I remember one day
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: and practice. I don't know if I ever told nobody
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: this story, but uh it wasn't really like a crazy
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: you know, crazy PRIs or whatever. But jim k you know, yeah,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: thirsty thirsteen a. I had to block him on I
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: can't return, and he was going crazy. I'm like, yo, like, bro,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: like it's not like it's a uh, it's a walk through,
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: like what you're doing today, I don't care. This is
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: what I do. I'm like, okay, I know what time
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: it is now. So Ever since then, I used to
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: be like just trying to go hard just because I
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: used to go against him all the time and we
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: just go at it, and you know, that's when I knew, like, Okay,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: this like this is this is real now, so I
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: gotta I gotta step it up. And then you know, uh,
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: that's when uh, you know, Sean Fisher went down and
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what I was Zoe.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: And then well they just it was like it was
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: like we run two backer sets. And then when we
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: were in dying packages, like you want you want an
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: athletic cat like you on the field like Zoe was
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: like in the conversation you and Zoe started in base
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: guys started to nickel. And then when it was when
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: it was dime, they're just like, hey, we're gonna try.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: We're gonna keep a vanilla, and we're gonna put Leavonte
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: out there, like let's see what the dudes got. Because
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: he would flash like even though he was on the
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: grass field, they would still like would still show clips
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: throughout the day of Lavonte kind of probably maybe just
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: to keep his head and he keep his confidence high.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: He's still being looked at and he would flash like
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: on the grass field. But again, when I break my
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: footage Thursday, we play on Saturday, and so Lavonte is
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: just getting thrown into the fire come game day, and
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: then game day happens, you have what thirteen.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: Tackles, thirteen tackles, thirteen.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 5: Tackles against Western Kentucky wills up in a suite with
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 5: a scooter. Yeah, just sitting there standing up like.
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: Fuck me and fishes me and fish is up there,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: me and fish is up there and scooters. And it
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: wasn't just the thirteen tackles, but he had one play
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: where a dude comes over the middle and Levante tattoos
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: this motherfucker bro and throws up. It's a photo that
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: still just lives, but it was from his first game
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: and it's like he's in the middle of his leg kick.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: He's throwing the bones. Yeah, everything, And I just remember
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: I was personally bummed because it was gonna take me
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: like at least eight weeks to get back, and I'm like, damn,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: this dude is flashing. And then he continued to flash
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: throughout the next seven eight weeks. And see what I
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: did not say there seven eight weeks and he balled Bro.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: And it was one of those situations for me to
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: where coaches aren't kind of telling you what's gonna happen.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: I'm curious. I'm like, man, he's been playing good. I act.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: We're like you know how Eck and I are just
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: like father son, like best friend type of relationship. He's
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: talking to me about how good Levante is, and I'm
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: wondering in the back of my mind, like, damn, am
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: I gonna have a job when I come back? Like
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: I know I was gonna be the guy that ran
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: next to Levante, but I wonder what's gonna happen with
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: the dime package because the way the planing system work,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: they lean more on dime packages and using more defensive
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: backs because Dejon Gomes was really good, and uh so
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: I just knew. I'm like, as far as playing time goes,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: I wonder who's gonna have that dime slot whenever I
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: do come back, And then when it when it happened,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: nobody kind of tells you. I'm kind of just learning
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: in real time Lavonte and losing his spot.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 5: So first week, I'm assuming you're like, oh, I'm really
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 5: happy for Lavonte.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: Fired up for him and Zoe two Becauzoe played well at.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 5: What week were you like having this thought process of like,
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm going to.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: I think your job. I think it was Washington. When
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: did we play Washington in week three or four.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we played like week three.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like week three we went out to Washington, awesome atmosphere.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: That was when tea magic was born. He was going off,
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: he was starting to get in the Heisman conversation, and
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: Lavonte had a like a really good game and kind
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: of sneaky too, because you could see how and it's
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: been his entire career he's been like an undersized cat,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: not like the most physical as far as going to
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: the point of attack without your dicking the dirt, but
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: as far as like taking on blots and everything else.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 2: Stu was very good at getting skinny or finessing or
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 2: slipping blocks, which you just it's you can't teach it.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: You can't coach it. It's you just watch Levonte and
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: it's like he's just he's got something. Whether in my
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: brain at the time, I might be thinking it's lucky,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: but he's got something that he's able to just whether
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: he's blitzing and running right out of the guard and
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: just turns his shoulder hits a swipe at just the
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: right time, he just had this ability. I just remember
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: the way Eckler was talking about him on the flight home.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, this dude is this dude is nice
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: on the football field.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: But yeah, but the college mindset of you Will Compton
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 5: is not, this dude is nice. You're like, man, this
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 5: guy's he's all right.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: It was like a song of dance because when Leavonte
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: comes in, like he'll tell you, I've just always been
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: the guy, even when Sean got drafted in the first round,
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: Like I've always been like a you know, I fight
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: those demons on my shoulders as far as like the
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: selfishness that does go into it. But I wanted Levonte
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: to be a good I wanted him to be good
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: for the linebacker room. It's not like I'm sitting there
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: being like I want him to be better than me
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: and everything else. So when he was coming along, it
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: was kind of like, you know, you had to have
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit of an ego death. But you couldn't
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: just sit there and you know, I'm thinking of my mind,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: like what's going to come out. I can't sit here
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: and project that this dude's being lucky and everything else.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: Like he was playing good and every time we're in
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: the room, like I felt like a responsibility. Fish and
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: I both felt like you have a responsibility to coach
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: the dudes up and whatever the game plan is, like
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: getting Levonte is well equipped as possible to go out
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: there and play on Saturday. So it was like it
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: was tough, like, of course I wanted to play, but
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: the mental warfare internally, Yeah, and Lavontae I were boys
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: like he was. Again, he didn't he didn't have a
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: license like he rocked around with the Yoshi like we had.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: We had like a crew guys, but Leavonte and I
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: and Zoe like we were boys like again, Zoe would
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: always call him Boogie. My wife call me. He's like,
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: that's just Boogie man. And I just bag whenever I
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: have a dog on the name of Boogie because of
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: our knucklehead tendencies in that back in that time. But
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: we were all close, so it was like, you know,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: you had to It was just it just was what
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: it was. Damn.

  Speaker 1: Yeah. I honestly didn't expect them guys to like treat
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: me the way they did, like will help me learn
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: to playbook like soon as I got there. You know,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: we used to meet extra time. We used to watch
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: them and stuff together. Him, Zoe, all those guys. Fish
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: was fish is Okay, he wasn't really yeah.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: But Fish was going to be a doctor. He he is,
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: he is currently Like he was like a surgeon.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: So he was always studying four to H double major
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: and everything. Fish wasn't like, you know, when practice and
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 2: everything was over, Fish was going to study all Fish
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 2: study just.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 5: Wasn't interested in an NFL career. He was interested in
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 5: a doctor.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: He was one of those guys. But they definitely welcomed
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: me over arm. So and I just remember when Will
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: first got heart to go back. You know, I remember,
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: you know, he crying and stuff like that, and you
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: know he's kind of like just you know, kind of
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: like I don't know what to say to him and
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: things like that and stuff like that. But you know
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: he kind of like kept on the courage of me
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: and kept on h you know, kind you know, just
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: giving me, you know, his best foot for it, you know.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: And so uh and then I just remember what he's saying.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: He kept all saying, when I get back, you know,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be us. You gotta take it over, you
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: gotta take it over. Like I got you, man, I
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: got you. You know what I'm saying. So I know
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: in the back of his mind. He was kind of
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: like obviously he was upset, but when he seen me,
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of like take off. He kind of
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: like just like like if you don't be me and you.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro, because we had some moments. Bro, we had
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: some fun moments. Man with Penn State Michigan State again
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: Levonte he got Big twelve Newcomer of the Year. He
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: was an All American the next year. The Sandy going
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: to bowl games. Because we was roommates too, I would
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 2: always try and get I would always try and get Boogie.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 2: I would record him all the time because again he
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: was a hermit. He just didn't do a whole lot.
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: He was just always funny to us because he was
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: just like he had like this Ed Reid mentality. But dude,
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: we had a lot of good times in Nebraska. We
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 2: had a lot of good times in Nebraska.
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: And just like off, I remember the next remember you
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: know push Bowl is always like the Don stuff, And
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, I mean I'm talking about Coach Bowl.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: I Meanini, Coach Blini always liked the Don stuff, the
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: one back, And I remember, I'm telling you that I
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: can't do the one back. In the moment, like we
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: got to be on the two together, you know what
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. And then that's when I ended up having
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: to meet with coach Bellini and then he ended up changing.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: It was down necessarily by ours of Dimond. Will was
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: so men the next year men. Will was always on
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: the field because I was like, I can't I can't
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: be the only background there the other people out there.
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you gave you gave Will a step up
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: in his career. I mean, you know, so we had
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: we had a freak Dejon Gomes. He was a dog,
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: he was a baller, and he was somebody who could
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: play like you know, if you look back at the
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: Texas game, he like he he stripped the dude and
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: took a ball like. The dude was very good, very
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: opportunistic when it come to like getting his hands on
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: the ball. So he ended up rethinking the way, Hey,
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: if all these teams in the Big twelve, the dude spread.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: He was kind of a tweeter to where he was
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: physical enough even though he was more of a dB,
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: but you could not have him on the field because
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: we had cats everywhere in the secondary that was very good.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: We've always had a very good pass defense and so
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: and so when when Leavonte whenever he has is here
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: and we're kind of every packages are kind of mixing
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: it up. You don't know who's going to be doing what.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: We had different stuff going on. But that next year,
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: I know they were trying to fast track Leavarante as
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: the Diepackers because Levante, again he was more of a backer,
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: but he was somebody who could cover everybody. So he
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: was just he was the piece. He was the piece
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: that the Nebraska defense loved because again, you could have
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: a smaller, more athletic body who was physical enough, and
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 2: then Levante was able to fill that in. Whenever the
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: Jon whenever Djon Gomes went to the NFL got you,
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 2: got you.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: So I basically ended up playing.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: And there was a pride factor in the linebacker room
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: of just always hating when we would have to go
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: sit a solo backer. Always we took it as like
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: a slight to where we had to figure out, is
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: only one of us on the field?
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah off the field? Were you ever
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 5: cast it to be a part of Wills Vines?
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: That was you?
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: The year Vine came out was my senior year in college,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: so you were no, no, but Levante was part of
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of videos of mine because I always had
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: my phone out as always recording in the locker room.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 5: He's so sneaky about the phone, dude, he is always yeah,
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 5: and he does a great job of not like changing
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 5: his tone when he was like got his phone as
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 5: opposed to just talking to you normal.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: So he'll catch your ass.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 5: Like there's probably a dozen videos will as to me
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 5: just talking crazy about things, and he'll just as soon
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 5: as he's done, he'll just go got him.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: It's all of them. Like Levante loved some R and
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: B soul music. So we'd be we'd be waking up,
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: say we go do Brest, and we might be chilling
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: before maybe a night game or before we leave on
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: the bus. So Leavanta and I are kind of just
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: laying in bed, whether we're watching college game day TV,
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: whatever it is. But Bugie would just all of a sudden,
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: he just he'd have his headphones in and then he'd
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 2: just starts singing. And so I al would catch him
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 2: all the time with the fun and he'd look over
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: and he'd like jobs like, man, come on, man, why
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: you always got to be recording? Because I just catch
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 2: him in full verse of some R and B of
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: the off the leak dose. Yeah, yeah, for they Yeah.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: Sure. I used to go over warehouse, uh and taking
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 1: his Matt book. He had a Matt book at the time,
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: and I used to have my own playlists on his
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: Matt book. Put all my music and stuff on there.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: Just keep on add music. Yeah, you have to just
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: take music all the time.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 9: Do you have any untold, behind the scenes stories of Will,
• 1:49:22

• 1:53:21
  Speaker 2: your unhinged six game parlay falling apart at the literal
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 2: last second to eight lager. It didn't hit because the
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 2: Bears ended up winning that game. I had the Packers'

  Speaker 2: heart palpitations. That's why we're partnering with Jim Beam. We

• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: where everybody you know me use like all the boys,
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: we're just all we're all fired up. Where I wonder
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: where you're gonna get drafted and we're like how long
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 2: you think you want to play? And I just remember
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 2: you saying like I'll get to ten years and then yeah,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 2: I'll get to ten years and I'll figure it out
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 2: and It's one of those things where you just smile
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 2: and shake your head because you know that that is
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: a reality for him, and it's just cool to hear,
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 2: like this dude's talking about ten years. He he's not
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 2: even a rookie yet. And now you're looking at you
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: could be looking at year fifteen. You just finished fourteen
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 2: years and just an unbelievable career. You already know your
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 2: boy is going to be your biggest hype man, one
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: of your biggest hype men, along with Gerald McCoy and
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: all the boys out there that always put your name
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: at the top of every list. But what is going
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 2: on through your head when deciding this? Are you asking yourself?
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 2: What more do I have to prove? Can my body
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: go through this again? Do I want to go through
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: this again? Like, give us a look inside of your brain.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The main thing is just you know, these seasons
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: are long. You know what I'm saying it is, I'm am,
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: I going to be focused. Am I gonna lock in
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be am, I gonna have my best
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: foot forward for the team. You know, for seventeen eighteen
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: weeks of the season, you know what I'm saying. And
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: then next is my ability is still the same. Am
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: I still gonna be able to you know, cover tight ends?
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: Am I still gonna be able to punch and shad?
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: And if I'm gonna be able to, you know, you know,
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: make physical downhill tablets the way I always do. I
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: just don't want to be a liability when I'm out there,
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Always say, man, when I
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 1: when my ability starts to diminish, you know, I don't
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: want to be one of those guys with people like,
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, man, it's time to hang it up. Bro.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: I never wanted to get to that point. So that's
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: that stuff. You know, the situation, and you know what's
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: going on in Tempa. You know, you know, you got
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of coaching changes down there. Are they going
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: to put the right people in places and stuff like that?
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: And you know, just am I You're gonna be able
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: to endure it?
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: Physically, you know, you know, you know, just it's been
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: a tough year for me, you know, uh physically, you know,
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: body wise because I never really you know, dealt with
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: an injury like as I like I did this year.
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: I kind of dealt with something all year.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 2: And it was like, huh, what'd you deal with?
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: A need? A neat? You know, you know how those
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: needs get you know they call it wear and tear
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and you know how that can be.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: It could be, you know, very irritating. You know, just
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: gotta you gotta drain it every week and things like that.
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: So what's the most what's the most cccs you've had
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: to drain from your knee this season?
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: Uh? The most I have is like fifty something. I
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: believe it's a.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: Good amount of fluid to get that quadi fire. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: Is there a part of you that that that that
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: fears not being the linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 2: that that that thinks about the other side? It's like,
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 2: am I comfortable walking away from this game that I
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 2: know is a big part of my identity?
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: Uh? Not really will, to be honest, you know, I
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: think like you said, man, like when you say one
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: of the questions, do I have anything left to prove?
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: And the only thing I have to proved is just
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: if I'm out there, me being the best on the field.
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 1: Because when I'm out there, obviously my mind said, hey ma,
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: I want to be the best player on the field,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: and if I don't feel like I'm best on the field,
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: there's no point of me going out there, you know.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: So uh, that's the only thing for me. Like just
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: you know, man, I played. I played fourteen years bro Like,
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: like you said, I had a I had a crazy
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: thought to be able to make it a tend. I
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: didn't even get drafted yet. So and then for me
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: me to be able to make it a team, I
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: tied there Brooks for the tackle record. I won a
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: super Bowl, you know, mom on respect across the town community.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: You know, I did a lot of a lot in
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: the community. I did. I did everything that I said
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: to do, and I got drafted tackle. So you know,
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: the only thing for me is just that's left to prove,
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: just like food to myself that I'm still able to
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: play football at high level.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 5: Dude, you you clearly and Will and I have had
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 5: this conversation when we were when I was when we
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 5: were playing, I would have this conversation Will. But you've won, dude,
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 5: Like You've done everything you have to do in your career.
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 5: You've checked every single box that you need to check
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 5: in order to be completely fulfilled in your career. But
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 5: last week we were doing this thing for Jim Beam.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 5: We were doing a segment. It was just kind of like,
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 5: you know, giving flowers to a team whose seasons ended,
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 5: and it was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And I did
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 5: a little thing and then Will brought up a bunch
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 5: of your stats, and I think you might go down
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 5: as the most underrated football player of all time.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's no question.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 5: Is when you talk about tying Derrick Brooks and then
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 5: Will has a whole sheet. He can he can lay
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 5: out all the stuff, Like, but when you see your
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 5: stats next to other players and how close you are,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 5: and then seeing the accolades they had from an individual
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 5: standpoint versus your individual standpoint, Like, does that add any
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 5: more of the chip to the layer of if I'm
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 5: weighing pros and cons coming back, like, there's a pro
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 5: right there, because for whatever reason, I've done this much
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 5: and people still haven't given me the respect the rewards
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 5: that deserve.
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The only thing about it is, man, just the
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: All Pros and the Pro Bowls. You know, one first
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: team All Pro to seventy team All Pro and Probo.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll sly, I can't control that. You know,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: things like that you know, hopefully down line when they
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: really see and they look at the stats and look
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 1: at you know, like you said, when I'm lined up
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: against him, like oh, well this guy, you know, maybe
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: this dude did get you know, cheese out of the
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know what I'm saying. I don't
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: want them to feel no sympathy for me and nothing
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: like that, but I just want to want to understand,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: like every time I've played on Sunday Hour of the fact,
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: I want the field and that's the only thing that mattered,
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you know, he wasn't
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: he wasn't really good. You know, Tampa wasn't really good
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of my career. So that probably played
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: these factoring into as well. Uh but when you look
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: aside of that, you know, just look at the players
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: just himself, you know, look at what he did. He
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: could go back and watch the film or whatever the
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: case may be. Like people people be like, oh, he
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: made all these tackles, but in those tackles, I had
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: twenty tackles for losses, so there was very impactful tackles.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: They wasn't like down the field tapics and stuff like that.
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: Like every time I played, you know, I made an
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: impact on the game. So uh, you know, when people
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: go back and look and see those things, I hope
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: they you know, take a chance and just look at that.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: And then you know, I see, like, you know, the
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl voting and all the All Pro Bowl and
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. I remember because I was a four
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: to three linebacker at the beginning of my career. So yeah,
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: there's fourth three outside linebacker at that so I had
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: to compete with guys like bon Miller, you know, Ryan Kerrigan,
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, Terrell Suggs yea true pass rushers. So
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they're not going to vote me as outside linebacker,
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 1: you know, on on the All Pro team or Pro
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: Bowl team because they got those guys. They look at
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: those us who getting the sacks and stuff like that.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: And I've seen the All Pro team came out the
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: other day, you know, you know, they only have like
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: two true linebackers up for all programs and they can
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: have like edges. They got like five edge guys, So
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, man, that's not really set to
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: the linebacker position. So that's always say man, like the
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: linebacker position itself is kind of like being you know,
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: you know, tarnish and things like that because of those
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 1: edge guys. But you know, it is what it is.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, I feel like, you know, when people
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: do go back and look and just kind of like
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: truly see and watch. You can watch my family can
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: watch the staff of us, just you know, look at
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 1: the stats that I have and just show us that,
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, I was, I was an impact
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: when I played the game.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: One of two, one of two players tack forty sacks,
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 2: ten interceptions. Only other guy is ray Lewis. And I
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 2: look at that stat and hearing you break down some
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 2: old stories and getting the relive some old some old
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 2: highlights of our career. But a guy who quit, tried
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 2: quitting after the first day of showing up at for Scott,
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 2: guy who failed to beat tests, guy who got thrown
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 2: into the fire, a guy all of these things. Can
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 2: you even imagine that that dude is one of two
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 2: players with fifteen hundred tackles, forty sax and ten interceptions
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 2: and shares that with ray Lewis being an undersized cat
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: and everything else. Dude, it's unbelievable what you have done.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, we're always gonna We're always gonna root
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 2: for you on this end. But when you do decide again,
