- 6:14Speaker 2: this entire week.
- 6:15Speaker 1: The entire week. And so the boys at Bay Area.
- 6:18Speaker 1: What made you go to Michigan? What was what was that?
- 6:19Speaker 2: That was gonna be my question? Well, with you guys
- 6:21Speaker 2: Georgia and yeah, West Coast and walking on at the
- 6:24Speaker 2: University of Michigan.
- 6:25Speaker 6: Well, I was actually planning on going to Columbia University
- 6:27Speaker 6: in New York to play IVY League football. That didn't
- 6:30Speaker 6: really work out and then brain, no, that's why, that's why.
- 6:37Speaker 6: But my older my older brother, lucas Andre Guetto played
- 6:42Speaker 6: running back at Michigan, and when the whole Columbia thing
- 6:46Speaker 6: fizzled out, I ended up like asking him to send
- 6:49Speaker 6: coach Harball in my film and then he was like, yeah,
- 6:52Speaker 6: you can play be a walk on here. So I
- 6:54Speaker 6: ended up going to Michigan and uh as a dB
- 6:57Speaker 6: and then within the first week was switched to running
- 6:59Speaker 6: back cause we had no walk on or no scout
- 7:02Speaker 6: running backs, so I had never played offense before.
- 7:05Speaker 8: So did that for a year? Did not work out
- 7:09Speaker 8: very well. They flipped me back to DV.
- 7:10Speaker 6: And then been there for since since my sophomore year
- 7:14Speaker 6: with coach Klink.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go, dogg outstanding, outstanding, you.
- 7:20Speaker 8: Do it all right?
- 7:21Speaker 7: So uh, growing up, I can always I watched Michigan
- 7:25Speaker 7: because my one of my best friends, his dad'side of
- 7:28Speaker 7: the family was all Michigan fans and his mom's side
- 7:30Speaker 7: of the family was all Ohio of State fans. So
- 7:32Speaker 7: we'd always watched Iron Bowl things like that at home
- 7:38Speaker 7: and went over there to his house. And I mean
- 7:42Speaker 7: when I like twenty thirty people come to this game
- 7:45Speaker 7: just to go watch this at this kid's house, So
- 7:47Speaker 7: going over there, I was like, holy crap.
- 7:49Speaker 1: They don't.
- 7:50Speaker 8: They don't play around up north about football. So I'm like,
- 7:52Speaker 8: all right.
- 7:53Speaker 7: Uh So that's that's when I first kind of looked
- 7:56Speaker 7: into Michigan, and then I was originally committed to Nave
- 8:00Speaker 7: my whole senior year, went and visited and it was
- 8:04Speaker 7: it's not for everybody.
- 8:06Speaker 8: Yeah, it's tough. It's tough.
- 8:07Speaker 7: So I had a buddy go there the year before
- 8:10Speaker 7: and he was telling me, like, you don't want to
- 8:12Speaker 7: do this. Everything is military, there's no football, everything is
- 8:17Speaker 7: mill This kid was like two forty and see him
- 8:21Speaker 7: six months later.
- 8:22Speaker 8: He weighed one.
- 8:23Speaker 7: It's a defensive vent and I'm like, what are they
- 8:26Speaker 7: doing to you? He's that we get up five am ron,
- 8:29Speaker 7: uh just march around campus. And I was like, all right,
- 8:32Speaker 7: I got to figure something belts out. So I hit
- 8:34Speaker 7: a couple of camps after my senior year and got
- 8:37Speaker 7: lucky and they reached out.
- 8:39Speaker 8: Yeah that's how I ended up there.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Let's fuck love, Oh dude, let's go good for the boys.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Man stoke to obviously shout out Chris Brian He's the
- 8:45Speaker 1: one that facilitated this whole thing. Reached out to me
- 8:47Speaker 1: just before we went to Michigan for the spring tour.
- 8:49Speaker 1: So I got two young hungry dogs that want to
- 8:52Speaker 1: come and do an internship with you guys, and we
- 8:54Speaker 1: have like pussed around with the idea of doing an internship.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Yeah, we've messed with it, and yeah, well there's been
- 8:58Speaker 2: a lot of people to reach out. We just ever
- 9:00Speaker 2: kind of dipped their doing it. But knowing that this
- 9:02Speaker 2: was like a week long, they approached us face to face, resume.
- 9:05Speaker 1: In hand, resume in hand. We were literally in the
- 9:08Speaker 1: middle of the the what the we were working?
- 9:10Speaker 2: We were about to either work out or we just
- 9:12Speaker 2: got done.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Now, and know we were about to I don't think

- 9:18Speaker 1: a work out. You guys hand us a Manila folder
- 9:20Speaker 1: with everything in there. How long did you guys work
- 9:22Speaker 1: on that?
- 9:23Speaker 6: Uh So, Actually, since Bryce Underwood committed to Michigan, I
- 9:28Speaker 6: kind of found a tie between Barstool and Michigan, and
- 9:32Speaker 6: since then I've been emailing you guys and Barstool asking
- 9:35Speaker 6: for to do an internship over and over again. I
- 9:37Speaker 6: think I sent around like sixty emails in total since
- 9:41Speaker 6: uh once I found out you guys were doing the
- 9:43Speaker 6: Spring college for and you guys are coming to Michigan.
- 9:46Speaker 8: I was like, I got to talk to somebody, and.
- 9:48Speaker 6: Then I remembered that you were Chris Byron's o V host,
- 9:52Speaker 6: and so I asked him to call you and ask
- 9:54Speaker 6: you about it, and then from there on it was
- 9:56Speaker 6: kind of just like, let's go. But we worked on
- 9:58Speaker 6: our dock for about three weeks four weeks before we
- 10:03Speaker 6: got to you guys, and then got lucky with somemectric
- 10:06Speaker 6: card stock laying around and printed it out and had

- 13:18Speaker 2: On Friday when we were in the shop, he was

- 13:41Speaker 5: So?
- 13:42Speaker 9: Yeah, none of the boys didn't end up showing up.
- 13:46Speaker 1: Seems like it seems like a tough, tough wee.
- 13:49Speaker 5: I wish it ended there, and I hate to do
- 13:51Speaker 5: this to Jared with him not being on the bus. Mitch,
- 13:54Speaker 5: what time was the party? I get a text from
- 13:58Speaker 5: Jared maybe around one or two? He out there.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Yeah, just walked up and sitting there listening.
- 14:06Speaker 5: Jared. I'm sorry, and Jared, it's honesty hour. I get
- 14:14Speaker 5: a text from Jared that afternoon he says, Hey, are
- 14:17Speaker 5: you even sitting around? Y'all want to come over and
- 14:20Speaker 5: watch the Kentucky Derby in the middle of the afternoon? Yeah?
- 14:26Speaker 6: Not good?
- 14:27Speaker 5: And hearing about how this is all going down with Mitch.
- 14:30Speaker 5: I'm thinking back to my text. I'm like, no way
- 14:33Speaker 5: the way Jared would do this, but he did, but
- 14:36Speaker 5: he did.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Post came You're going to Broadway. There's no postgame.
- 14:42Speaker 2: There's invited everybody over, when Mitch had already invited everybody
- 14:46Speaker 2: over for his girlfriend's birthday party that you said yes
- 14:48Speaker 2: to go. I know I said you didn't go because
- 14:51Speaker 2: you you drank a full bottle of wine on Friday,
- 14:54Speaker 2: stayed up a little late, slept until, slept in until
- 14:57Speaker 2: noon on Saturday, and then had the audacity to then
- 15:00Speaker 2: invite everybody that was already invited to Mitch's party to
- 15:03Speaker 2: your house to watch the Kentucky Derby.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Party.
- 15:07Speaker 11: It's not justified. What I would say is, yeah, I
- 15:10Speaker 11: fucked up. I slept in Saturday. I wanted to get
- 15:12Speaker 11: my chores done. Earlier chores come first. Mitch had the pregame.
- 15:17Speaker 11: I texted him, or I guess he texted me first.
- 15:19Speaker 11: I wasn't gonna be able to make it. Then they
- 15:20Speaker 11: were already out earlier than I thought. So then when
- 15:22Speaker 11: I realized they were out, that's pretty early for going out.
- 15:25Speaker 4: No, well, I.
- 15:29Speaker 5: Guess it's the middle of the day.
- 15:31Speaker 11: So once I heard they were out, I was like,
- 15:32Speaker 11: I'm definitely not hitting Broadway, but post game could be
- 15:36Speaker 11: my house. No one had brought up a post game,
- 15:39Speaker 11: not a bad spend zone on this pregame, going out
- 15:42Speaker 11: postgame my place, I rest my case. No one had

- 17:48Speaker 1: Let's keep the bad news going. All I'm out, Good job, Jerrem,
- 17:53Speaker 1: Let's keep the bad news going. Will Compton doesn't watch
- 17:56Speaker 1: hockey at all, doesn't dive into it. The Four Nations tournament,
- 17:59Speaker 1: he starts to kind of dabble. Hey, this is kind
- 18:01Speaker 1: of interesting. It is kind of cool. I'm trying to
- 18:02Speaker 1: tell Will because my brother, he played junior hockey. He
- 18:05Speaker 1: was all about it, played the ice and actually played
- 18:07Speaker 1: Austin Matthews back in the day. And then all of
- 18:08Speaker 1: a sudden, the Saint Louis Blues are in a Game
- 18:11Speaker 1: seven and.
- 18:13Speaker 2: Paid game six. When it started, when I started to oh,
- 18:16Speaker 2: when he started to dip the toe because the Blues
- 18:18Speaker 2: were down, they were down in the series. I was like, man,
- 18:20Speaker 2: it'd be cool if they could like win the first
- 18:22Speaker 2: round because I knew that they went on like a
- 18:24Speaker 2: like a record streak to get into the playoffs.
- 18:26Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 18:26Speaker 1: But yeah, it started to the Predators last year. Similar
- 18:29Speaker 1: to the Predators, Saint Louis Is down or Saint Louis
- 18:32Speaker 1: Is up to to one game seven three one three
- 18:35Speaker 1: one end up coming back and scoring with what less
- 18:38Speaker 1: than three seconds left, Yeah, to go into overtime.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like less than two seconds when they
- 18:43Speaker 2: hit that Ricky shot. What do they call it? Top shelf?
- 18:47Speaker 1: They call that top shelf.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Rick Ricka shot in the top shelf.
- 18:51Speaker 1: End up going to two overtimes. While Will is watching this,
- 18:54Speaker 1: he's tweeting out, if they make it to the second round,
- 18:56Speaker 1: I gotta go back to bonb tayor we'll get some
- 18:58Speaker 1: whatever pizza place he's always talking abouts, go catch a
- 19:02Speaker 1: couple of things.
- 19:03Speaker 2: And what do they do?
- 19:04Speaker 1: They shit the bed. Will Compton decides to put his
- 19:07Speaker 1: name behind a team and they shit the bed.
- 19:09Speaker 2: The reason I was doing that too, like I was
- 19:11Speaker 2: trying to build it up because somebody from the Blues
- 19:13Speaker 2: hit me up. Gruden had went over the weekend to
- 19:17Speaker 2: the Blues and Cardinals, and I was tweeting about, like,
- 19:19Speaker 2: you know, sharing his stuff because he's going to the
- 19:21Speaker 2: Saint Louis spots, He's going to the Saint Louis teams.
- 19:23Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I didn't know he loved the Blues
- 19:24Speaker 2: like that. So I'm like giving that love. And somebody
- 19:26Speaker 2: from the Blues hit me up. They're like, hey, if
- 19:30Speaker 2: we win Game seven, we would love to have you
- 19:33Speaker 2: out in round two next weekend when it's at when
- 19:36Speaker 2: it's in Saint Louis. Damn. And I'm like, he's like,
- 19:40Speaker 2: I know you're a bond ter guy. Used to have
- 19:41Speaker 2: a place on Turtlake, Tartarlac Lake TDL shout out the
- 19:44Speaker 2: Boys and Turtle Lac and so we were connecting over that.
- 19:47Speaker 2: But he's like, we'd love to have you out for
- 19:49Speaker 2: a game in Saint Louis in round two. It's I'm
- 19:51Speaker 2: fired up because it's like, oh, that'd be easy flight,
- 19:53Speaker 2: easy thing to go to.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and a fun time too. Fun time off hockey
- 19:58Speaker 1: is so hard to beat through the atmosphere unreal and
- 20:01Speaker 1: the boys just go fucking hard the entire time.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Yeah. And so I placed a bet on fan duel
- 20:07Speaker 2: with game six. We won that money line and it's like, man,
- 20:09Speaker 2: they could. They whooped their ass too. In Game six.
- 20:12Speaker 2: It's like, man, if they pull this off, they're up
- 20:14Speaker 2: three to one. I had bet on them right before
- 20:16Speaker 2: the game, and so I started to put the you know,
- 20:19Speaker 2: if they win, start to start to build it.
- 20:22Speaker 1: On the car before the horse.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Damn.
- 20:25Speaker 5: Well, bro, I'm.
- 20:26Speaker 2: Watching that live. And when they made that shot, I
- 20:30Speaker 2: just said, holy fucking shit.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Yeah, when they go to overtime, you I think it's
- 20:34Speaker 1: over right.
- 20:35Speaker 2: Yeah, And then the longest overtime, nobody's like scoring. They're
- 20:38Speaker 2: getting shots on goal and everything else. I'm like, look
- 20:40Speaker 2: at these guys. I'm like, bro, teams that have to
- 20:42Speaker 2: go that are that take care of business in their
- 20:44Speaker 2: series and they're resting until the second round. The teams
- 20:47Speaker 2: that are going like having a war all the way
- 20:48Speaker 2: through game seven and going to ot, I'm like, these
- 20:50Speaker 2: boys have to be exhausted out.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy how many games a year they play
- 20:57Speaker 1: and they go sit like a seven series and to
- 20:59Speaker 1: start the playoffs should be like best of three, best
- 21:01Speaker 1: of five, best of seven, but they just fucking man.
- 21:05Speaker 1: They rip around all day every day, and it's like
- 21:08Speaker 1: they're always having a couple of beers after the game
- 21:10Speaker 1: doing whatever. Like hockey is such like a traditional like
- 21:14Speaker 1: a lot of booze bags in that league, a lot
- 21:16Speaker 1: of boozebags. But they just go so fucking hard forty
- 21:18Speaker 1: five seconds in their shift. Yeah, playoff hockey is awesome.
- 21:22Speaker 5: Do you regret the tweet?
- 21:24Speaker 2: No?
- 21:25Speaker 1: Come on, I've told you.
- 21:28Speaker 5: I like, imagine if somebody texts you during the Nebraska
- 21:32Speaker 5: game and they in Nebraska Michigan, y'all are y'all are
- 21:37Speaker 5: up by two, And before Michigan gets the ball, somebody
- 21:40Speaker 5: texts you, Man, if Nebraska wins, we should blank. How
- 21:44Speaker 5: would you feel if you got that text?
- 21:47Speaker 2: I would just say hold it off. That sounds like
- 21:48Speaker 2: a fun idea, like just hold that thought.
- 21:52Speaker 1: I'm not thinking it wouldn't bother you because I remember
- 21:55Speaker 1: in the fall I would tweet clear, So that's not
- 21:58Speaker 1: true because in the fall I tweet did something. You
- 22:01Speaker 1: did the eyes smoke thing, didn't he during the fall
- 22:05Speaker 1: the Organ game? But then that's right, the storm, I.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Just did the eyes. I just didn't exactly, but you
- 22:11Speaker 2: were aware enough to just the eyes like, hey, there
- 22:14Speaker 2: might be a storm situation happened in the Organ exactly.
- 22:17Speaker 3: I won't lie.
- 22:18Speaker 2: I sent that tweet and I was like, oh, ship right,
- 22:22Speaker 2: because I started the march down the JP makes a comment.
- 22:25Speaker 2: I'm just immediately like in defense mode, like I put
- 22:28Speaker 2: the eyes, like I thought about it before I even
- 22:30Speaker 2: hit tweet.
- 22:30Speaker 1: You're in the same boat as you are right now.
- 22:32Speaker 2: I did the if factor. I did the if hey,
- 22:35Speaker 2: but I believe in Jinks. But I'm prefacing it by
- 22:41Speaker 2: saying if they pull it off, I'm not saying they're
- 22:43Speaker 2: gonna pull it off.
- 22:46Speaker 5: Look, man, I might.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Five. You need to reevaluate you're betting for the boys.
- 22:54Speaker 2: I feel like everything one Jack could take down the
- 22:56Speaker 2: Chiefs in the Super Bowl. I'm now paying for it
- 23:00Speaker 2: post super Bowl. In everything that we've done March gave
- 23:04Speaker 2: everything everything. Yeah everything?
- 23:07Speaker 5: Yeah, what did it cost?
- 23:09Speaker 1: What are we out here chasing? Question?
- 23:10Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 23:11Speaker 1: We chasing it.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Might be Uh. I think it turns around come football season.
- 23:15Speaker 1: I think it turns around May sixteen, seventeen, when Jack
- 23:17Speaker 1: and I are back in Vegas.
- 23:19Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 23:19Speaker 2: Yeah, but you've been hitting though. This is I'm talking
- 23:21Speaker 2: about my own personal journey.
- 23:23Speaker 1: I do feel like I've been hitting and I have
- 23:25Speaker 1: it like when I'm like fully in tuned to the
- 23:27Speaker 1: games because I was traveling a lot this week. I
- 23:29Speaker 1: would just place a bet, but I wouldn't tweet. Then
- 23:31Speaker 1: I would lose that bet, and it just happened to
- 23:33Speaker 1: work out that way. Well, we'll see what happens in
- 23:36Speaker 1: this next series with Toronto, because I am kind of
- 23:39Speaker 1: fired up for Toronto. They like one of the the
- 23:42Speaker 1: other one of the original six hockey teams in the NHL,
- 23:45Speaker 1: them and five. I'm not gonna say I, but anyway,
- 23:48Speaker 1: once the uh it's uh Toronto, Boston, I think Detroit,
- 23:55Speaker 1: Montreal is the Rangers, one of them, the Rangers, and
- 24:03Speaker 1: then there's one more, maybe the no Phillies. Not Philly's
- 24:08Speaker 1: not one of the original six. Anyway, this is for
- 24:12Speaker 1: every do it. Okay, yeah, I'll do it. But anyway,
- 24:16Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven is the last time they won a Cup.
- 24:18Speaker 1: They've had the best record they could ply they've had
- 24:21Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty seven. In the last couple of years
- 24:24Speaker 1: they've gone into the playoffs and then just like just
- 24:26Speaker 1: fumble the back. They have been a team that should
- 24:29Speaker 1: have won the first round, they don't win the first round.
- 24:31Speaker 1: They finally get over that hump of beating Ottawa in
- 24:35Speaker 1: the first round, and I just got this feeling, boys,
- 24:38Speaker 1: I got this feeling the Maple Leafs are gonna take
- 24:40Speaker 1: the Cup this year. And I had it right before
- 24:43Speaker 1: the playoffs, and I'm putting I'm putting my name behind
- 24:45Speaker 1: them for the rest of time, well for the rest
- 24:47Speaker 1: of this year. Then I go back to the Preds immediately.
- 24:49Speaker 2: The no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I do
- 24:52Speaker 2: have a second team.
- 24:53Speaker 1: Okay, as long as it's not the Maple Leafs were good.
- 24:56Speaker 2: It's the Capitals. Yeah, okay, that's yeah, Capitals. I just again,
- 25:01Speaker 2: I'm a little gun shy, but I do have a
- 25:03Speaker 2: little bit of equity into in the Capitals being there
- 25:06Speaker 2: in Washington, that the Capitals were the first there's the
- 25:09Speaker 2: first team where I got to experience playoff hockey, and
- 25:11Speaker 2: it is it's unmatched. Playoff hockey is unmatched because I
- 25:14Speaker 2: didn't really go to Blues games growing up. I didn't
- 25:16Speaker 2: really go to any so when I was with the
- 25:18Speaker 2: Redskins like getting to go to Caps games. It is
- 25:20Speaker 2: absolutely sick to be in this atmosphere.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Don't do that.
- 25:27Speaker 2: N Yeah, but do you want to me to name
- 25:31Speaker 2: another player?
- 25:33Speaker 1: That's okay. You don't need to know the whole entire
- 25:35Speaker 1: team to put your name behind somebody. As he retired,
- 25:40Speaker 1: he's thirty seven years old.
- 25:44Speaker 2: I had a kid, Come on, come on, hey, Tom Wilson.
- 25:51Speaker 1: Nice, nice, So let's le let's do this on now.
- 25:55Speaker 1: If the Capitol has been there forever too, if the
- 25:57Speaker 1: Capital is in uh in Toronto, make it to the
- 25:59Speaker 1: Eastern Conference. Fine, we gotta go to a game.
- 26:02Speaker 2: See, we can talk about that.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Yeah, anytime kind of travel ata travel. This man is
- 26:10Speaker 1: the hardest.
- 26:11Speaker 2: I literally said, we can talk about that.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Yeah, but the way you said, I know you. I've
- 26:14Speaker 1: known you for seven years now, eight years.
- 26:16Speaker 2: And there's been times where I say, let's talk about it,
- 26:18Speaker 2: we do.
- 26:18Speaker 1: It, and I just say to myself, Oh, I'm gonna
- 26:20Speaker 1: have to really press him. So I have to know
- 26:21Speaker 1: if I really want to do this, to get this done,
- 26:24Speaker 1: That's why.
- 26:24Speaker 2: I'd be sick to go to It'd be sick to
- 26:26Speaker 2: go to DC for a Caps.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Game or Toronto for I heard Toronto just goes so hard.
- 26:32Speaker 1: I heard they are all about they like the they
- 26:33Speaker 1: like the Dallas Cowboys in the NHL.
- 26:36Speaker 2: People just know we can get plugged in with the Caps. Okay,
- 26:39Speaker 2: fair enough. Yeah, I don't know.

- 27:51Speaker 1: Keep the bad news coming. Michigan lost our president. He dipped.
- 27:56Speaker 1: He went to Florida.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Something's brewing that wait When did he leave.
- 27:59Speaker 1: I think it was this past week, right, Yeah, he
- 28:02Speaker 1: just he hit the transfer portal, decided to go to Florida.
- 28:05Speaker 1: And this guy he came in made a massive splash.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Everyone's like, dude, this guy is the man, the president.
- 28:12Speaker 1: This dude is like he's gonna be here forever. Everybody
- 28:15Speaker 1: loves him. And then Kevin Bacon, he'd had a nice
- 28:17Speaker 1: couple of comments. He's a guy, he's a professor at Michigan,
- 28:20Speaker 1: has wrote a bunch of books. He's like the biggest
- 28:22Speaker 1: splash you've ever seen as a president with the most
- 28:24Speaker 1: underwhelming departure.
- 28:25Speaker 4: Of all time.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Even his statement was like, Kevin Bacon's word is not mine, insincere.
- 28:31Speaker 1: So he dips goes to Florida. Then all of a sudden,
- 28:33Speaker 1: I gotta wake up this morning to Garrett Hargas sending
- 28:34Speaker 1: me an article saying, uh oh about Searon Moore, your guys,
- 28:38Speaker 1: coach self imposed two game suspension, and he decided to
- 28:44Speaker 1: pick two games, and one of those games happened to
- 28:46Speaker 1: be Nebraska. A bunch of ways you can look at that.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Does he have to do two in a row, or
- 28:50Speaker 1: does he feel that good about Nebraska? That's the question, we'll.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Confident think to legally do two in a row. He
- 28:58Speaker 2: didn't choose week one because we too Oklahoma. He played
- 29:00Speaker 2: at Oklahoma. He wants to coach against Oklahoma.
- 29:03Speaker 5: And then it's out there that there's a potential for
- 29:06Speaker 5: being a lot more games, and this is Michigan trying
- 29:08Speaker 5: to get ahead of it. So they've hand selected these two.
- 29:12Speaker 1: How much long are we going to do?
- 29:13Speaker 5: This is the question you tell us?
- 29:15Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, like NCAA, let's make a decision. Let's
- 29:19Speaker 1: move on, let's move forward. All the coaches have already dipped.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Searon Moore is out there carrying the flag of Michigan.
- 29:25Speaker 1: We beat Ohio State every single year, Like, let's just
- 29:27Speaker 1: what are we doing? Like it's over, it's move on.
- 29:30Speaker 1: We won the Natty, Get over it?
- 29:31Speaker 2: Yeah you know, yeah. I think they're trying to figure
- 29:34Speaker 2: out the entire punishment for you guys.
- 29:36Speaker 1: The entire punishment. We've done it. Like the games against
- 29:42Speaker 1: top five teams are the two hardest games, really the
- 29:44Speaker 1: three hardest. I said Maryland was gonna be difficult too,
- 29:47Speaker 1: Penn State, Ohio State. Sharon Moore had to step in
- 29:49Speaker 1: as an interim head coach for those games he had
- 29:51Speaker 1: to find out while they got to pencate the men
- 29:53Speaker 1: they landed Penzate. They old, by the way, you can't
- 29:55Speaker 1: come with us anymore. So he dips. There was a
- 29:57Speaker 1: team in a blender, a team with a bad culture
- 29:59Speaker 1: would have immediately. They ended up going on winning all
- 30:02Speaker 1: three of those games, end up winning the national championship.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Then all the coaches go and dip get out of there.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Okay, so there's now because they know stuff's coming.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Connor Stallions is in high school football now like, and
- 30:14Speaker 1: Searan Moore is self imposing too. It's like, what more
- 30:16Speaker 1: we gonna do? What more do we need to do.
- 30:19Speaker 2: They're trying to uncover all the details. You gotta trust
- 30:21Speaker 2: the legal process.
- 30:22Speaker 1: They're kicking a can, is what they're doing. Brother, They're
- 30:23Speaker 1: just kicking a can and it's all good, dude.
- 30:25Speaker 2: They haven't been able to dial down exactly everything you
- 30:28Speaker 2: guys did because when you cheat and you lie, it
- 30:31Speaker 2: takes a longer time to uncover it all. So there's
- 30:33Speaker 2: been like small punishments, incremental punishments like as it's happened.
- 30:37Speaker 1: I feel like you're just being nasty.
- 30:38Speaker 2: No, I'm trying to I'm trying to give you an
- 30:40Speaker 2: unbiased opinion about it.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Yeah, they could have cheated, they could have lied. But
- 30:45Speaker 1: I mean we had Connor on here just because he
- 30:47Speaker 1: was like super diligent about everything he did. Does that
- 30:50Speaker 1: mean he cheated.
- 30:52Speaker 2: I mean, you have your conversations with Connor Stallions. I
- 30:54Speaker 2: have my conversations with Connor Sallius. I know there's two
- 30:56Speaker 2: different opinions in here. Well, we won't get into it all.
- 31:03Speaker 1: But I'll say this, we just keep on going. We
- 31:05Speaker 1: just we were just gonna keep on keeping on.
- 31:07Speaker 2: That's what we're gonna it. Does bum me out that
- 31:09Speaker 2: Searan Wore is not gonna be there for the bust and.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Ball I know, I know, I know, I know because
- 31:14Speaker 1: it is.
- 31:16Speaker 12: Other games.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Should we call Searan if you want to?
- 31:21Speaker 1: No, I'm not gonna do it.
- 31:24Speaker 2: If you want to, I'll call him after.
- 31:26Speaker 1: We'll have a conversation, you.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Know, like like zoom out. It's if he's going to
- 31:31Speaker 2: coach in the Oklahoma game, you want to get the
- 31:32Speaker 2: next two out of the way because you're you're most important.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Yeah season, Yeah, back half the season, and he went
- 31:38Speaker 1: to Oklahoma. That's gonna be a very personal game for him.
- 31:41Speaker 1: He's gonna want that one and it's in Oklahoma. But
- 31:44Speaker 1: are you this year? Huh?
- 31:46Speaker 2: I have no clue.
- 31:47Speaker 5: They're stoked on their quarterback, but they've just been getting
- 31:50Speaker 5: worse and worse over the last three years. Venables hot
- 31:53Speaker 5: hot seat, hot seat, mid season hot seat level.
- 31:56Speaker 1: That's tough.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Is who do you need to look at for some
- 31:59Speaker 2: future stuff? And that might be Florida.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Seriously, they're gonna, Yeah, Flora's gonna be nasty.
- 32:05Speaker 2: That quarterback what's his name, DJ Way, he's a stud
- 32:09Speaker 2: your guys was president going over there.
- 32:10Speaker 1: It's kind of like they're he's the study.
- 32:11Speaker 2: They're building, they're pouring into what could be happening over
- 32:14Speaker 2: these next couple of years.
- 32:15Speaker 1: God damn. Because they had the hardest schedule in all
- 32:17Speaker 1: college football last year, right.
- 32:19Speaker 5: Yeah, and bad Way didn't even play most of.
- 32:21Speaker 2: The year really, and when he started playing, they were good.
- 32:23Speaker 2: They were nice. Bro. It'll be fun too to have
- 32:25Speaker 2: Florida like good in college football because I just you know,
- 32:28Speaker 2: the Tim Tebow day.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when they were high school in Florida. That's
- 32:31Speaker 1: when were in high school. Was the Tim Tebow Every
- 32:32Speaker 1: kid wanted to be Tim Tebow.
- 32:34Speaker 2: Yeah, they'd have like the they'd have like you know, Nike,
- 32:36Speaker 2: you would work with them on the sleeves where they
- 32:38Speaker 2: have the different color sleeve under their uniform. Yeah, they
- 32:41Speaker 2: were they were fired.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Yeah, that blue and orange kind of goes hard to
- 32:46Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby. Did you watch it?
- 32:49Speaker 2: I watched it a little bit, but I mean we couldn't.
- 32:52Speaker 2: We couldn't put anything on.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Yeah. When you can't, when you can't put money on
- 32:56Speaker 1: something like that, it's tough to just go.
- 32:58Speaker 2: And yeah, I was watching the horses run a little
- 33:00Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah, I was.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Watching them, watching them gals gallup.
- 33:02Speaker 2: Yeah, they're talking about, Oh they're good that the weather
- 33:04Speaker 2: where it rains a little bit. Yeah, I saw because
- 33:06Speaker 2: we draw the hat final game, but I saw that
- 33:08Speaker 2: he was kind of like one of the favorites, so,
- 33:11Speaker 2: oh we might have a we might have a horse.
- 33:12Speaker 2: But I'll be honest with you, I didn't watch it.
- 33:14Speaker 9: A whole lot.
- 33:16Speaker 2: I had it on his background noise, but I didn't
- 33:18Speaker 2: like I wasn't like tuned in and locked into it all. Yeah.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be honest, I didn't see any of it.
- 33:24Speaker 1: I was in Canada. I don't think they even know
- 33:26Speaker 1: what horses are up there. It just didn't work out
- 33:28Speaker 1: for me up there. Yeah, it didn't.
- 33:29Speaker 5: What I think they should do is if it's bad
- 33:31Speaker 5: weather like that, they should postpone because I want to
- 33:34Speaker 5: see the horses at their best.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Uh hell, do you just post all the people show up?
- 33:41Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just saying, if this is the big
- 33:43Speaker 5: marquee event of the year, I want to see everyone
- 33:46Speaker 5: at their best.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:47Speaker 1: But there's something about horses running as fast as they can,
- 33:51Speaker 1: slinging mud, and the jockeys that are just covered in mud.
- 33:53Speaker 1: When they're all finished up, one of them is crying
- 33:55Speaker 1: because they want the other ones were crying because they lost.
- 33:57Speaker 1: There's something about that.
- 33:59Speaker 5: I feel you, But I want to see the horses.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Yeah you want.
- 34:03Speaker 1: I mean, do you just postpone every football game when
- 34:05Speaker 1: it's raining.
- 34:06Speaker 5: It's different.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Everyone just does indoor.
- 34:13Speaker 2: And it's like the training that these horses do, like
- 34:15Speaker 2: they get taken care of, like they're just supreme athletes. Like, yeah,
- 34:19Speaker 2: there's gonna be some adversity, it's not gonna be it's
- 34:21Speaker 2: not gonna be a beautiful day every time you step
- 34:23Speaker 2: on the course.
- 34:24Speaker 1: What is wild? Does every every horse in the Kentucky
- 34:26Speaker 1: Derby was a descendantive secretariat, which is dope. Yeah, if
- 34:31Speaker 1: I knew a lot more about horses, I'd be a
- 34:33Speaker 1: lot more fired up about that situation, a lot more
- 34:35Speaker 1: fired up. But that's the Kentucky Derby.
- 34:38Speaker 2: It was hard for me to watch too, because we
- 34:39Speaker 2: uh ruin to a birthday party over the weekend, and
- 34:42Speaker 2: so we got home after that birthday party and she
- 34:44Speaker 2: wanted to essentially like foster this balloon. She named it Bapa,
- 34:49Speaker 2: and so we had to play with this balloon like
- 34:51Speaker 2: all afternoon when we were putting her down.
- 34:53Speaker 1: There kids in balloons, man, I still understand she would
- 34:56Speaker 1: have to put the balloon down for bed.
- 34:59Speaker 2: It was an entire thing.
- 35:00Speaker 5: Would you pop it?
- 35:01Speaker 2: No? No, I was terrified. I'm like, hey, sweetheart, we
- 35:05Speaker 2: can't let this balloon pop, like it will.
- 35:06Speaker 5: Just like sometimes things die.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Yeah, let them know.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Charles trying to tell her like, hey, sweetheart, like it's
- 35:13Speaker 2: not a human, it doesn't have a heartbeat, because she's
- 35:15Speaker 2: just like if she can't put the if she can't
- 35:17Speaker 2: put bob Bob down for bed for bedtime, and like
- 35:21Speaker 2: give it a hug. She's like, I love bob Ba,
- 35:23Speaker 2: And she was just like hugging it, trying to give
- 35:25Speaker 2: it kisses and three squeezes.
- 35:27Speaker 1: What about this balloon was there had to be a
- 35:29Speaker 1: lot of balloons at this party.
- 35:30Speaker 2: There was a lot of balloons, but she was playing
- 35:32Speaker 2: with the one. She wanted to take one home, and
- 35:34Speaker 2: when she took it home, she wanted it to do
- 35:35Speaker 2: everything that she was doing. She wanted that like you
- 35:38Speaker 2: know what I mean.
- 35:39Speaker 1: Yeah, kids always have it, but of picking like the
- 35:41Speaker 1: most fragile thing. Yeah that is. Yeah, they just the
- 35:47Speaker 1: balloon situations so wild because when wind would have wind
- 35:50Speaker 1: or will it whenever their birthday is, we obviously put
- 35:52Speaker 1: a lot of balloons down. We're just like, you know,
- 35:54Speaker 1: blow them up. They're lay on the ground. They all
- 35:55Speaker 1: get so fired up, and so you got to distract
- 35:58Speaker 1: and when we just assassinate, you know, and then they
- 36:01Speaker 1: go to Batti take got like ten more, and then
- 36:02Speaker 1: the next day you take got a couple more.
- 36:04Speaker 2: It's just they just get fascinated with the most random things.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Like we'll be at the park and she wants to
- 36:07Speaker 2: take this leaf home and she wants to leave the
- 36:09Speaker 2: slit her in the car.
- 36:10Speaker 1: What's going through that brain for that to happen? It's
- 36:13Speaker 1: crazy leaf, Do you want to eat some food? And
- 36:15Speaker 1: she'd be like, shout out kids, man, yeah, shout out kids.
- 36:21Speaker 1: All right, what we got? We feel good?
- 36:25Speaker 2: Oh? Hey, did you see the uh did you see
- 36:28Speaker 2: Dave Fortnoy's video about the juice? Yeah?
- 36:30Speaker 1: Bro, that shit is nuts, Like, who the fuck would
- 36:32Speaker 1: do that?
- 36:33Speaker 2: Like, I mean, I mean we got some fucked up people.
- 36:36Speaker 2: Like people are gonna do that, especially kids like twenty
- 36:40Speaker 2: something year olds that are drunk in a bar and
- 36:41Speaker 2: they think it's funny.
- 36:42Speaker 1: What's funny? But they might have race.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Like in their world, they might have like an ideology
- 36:47Speaker 2: that is like fuck the juice, so they think it's
- 36:49Speaker 2: funny to do something like that. We see a lot
- 36:53Speaker 2: of fucked up stuff. It's like, is it surprising? No,
- 36:55Speaker 2: but I do think it is they mess with the
- 36:57Speaker 2: wrong one, Yeah.
- 36:59Speaker 1: And sending them any logical Yeah, let's just let's just
- 37:03Speaker 1: say in a world where it's okay, like that joke
- 37:06Speaker 1: is funny in whatever world, why go to the barstool
- 37:09Speaker 1: bar and do that? Why? Like we're Dave Portinoy, who
- 37:12Speaker 1: is like who is Jewish proud of being Jewish, was
- 37:14Speaker 1: at the UFC in Miami calling what's his name Bright. Yeah,
- 37:20Speaker 1: Bryce Mitchell and Nazi and waving a Jewish flag. You're
- 37:23Speaker 1: gonna go into that guy's bar and you're gonna put
- 37:26Speaker 1: the Jews on. They were what they were doing, you think?
- 37:30Speaker 5: So, yeah, for sure. I mean the fact that you see.
- 37:32Speaker 2: The photos of these dudes.
- 37:33Speaker 1: No, I haven't seen the photos, but I saw Dave's
- 37:35Speaker 1: three and a half minute rant about how you got
- 37:37Speaker 1: one girl on the phone talking how dumb she is.
- 37:39Speaker 1: She's like, can I call you back? He's like no,
- 37:42Speaker 1: like these people getting fired. Guys are on the phone
- 37:43Speaker 1: with him crying like please, like the.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Guys who are doing it. He's like, you have one
- 37:47Speaker 2: hour to me. Feel like you're trying to make this right.
- 37:50Speaker 1: But how do you like, what do they do?
- 37:52Speaker 2: Nothing?
- 37:53Speaker 1: Like, what can you do? You're cooked?
- 37:56Speaker 2: Bro.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Imagine being on Dave Portnoy's bad side is one thing?
- 38:00Speaker 1: Like be actually be on Dave's bats That is not
- 38:01Speaker 1: a bad thing. It's when Dave hates you.
- 38:04Speaker 2: And he hates these kids.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just he's a ruiner of lives.
- 38:07Speaker 2: He can do it, dude.
- 38:08Speaker 5: But imagine being the manager or the bottle girl, whoever
- 38:11Speaker 5: it was that was placing it on like he was
- 38:15Speaker 5: ready to go, and no one sat there in the
- 38:18Speaker 5: back room and go, are we sure about this?
- 38:20Speaker 1: Guys?
- 38:20Speaker 2: I think he was saying that one of the girls
- 38:22Speaker 2: was like one of the waitresses was trying to push
- 38:24Speaker 2: back a little bit, but ultimately it still went through
- 38:26Speaker 2: because you're right. It's like when you're sent together, it's like, hey, guys,
- 38:29Speaker 2: we're not doing that. And then the culture of what
- 38:31Speaker 2: you guys can't get out of here right now anyway, Yeah,
- 38:33Speaker 2: and the.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Culture of like clubs and the sparkler's going off, everyone
- 38:38Speaker 1: just so fucking fired up. Yeah, fuck the juice clip that.
- 38:45Speaker 12: The video of it that no one in the booth
- 38:47Speaker 12: actually like looks stoked. They're all kind of like, oh fuck,
- 38:51Speaker 12: you can tell they thinking.
- 38:52Speaker 4: Some of the other.
- 38:53Speaker 12: People are like, this is not right.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Could you imagine the one that's as dumb as decisions
- 38:58Speaker 2: you can make.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Being the one girl in there that's pushing back a
- 39:00Speaker 1: little bit, you know, like in that culture of like
- 39:03Speaker 1: clubs and bars and bottle surface and all that, like
- 39:05Speaker 1: everyone's kind of like trying to be mister cool guy.
- 39:08Speaker 1: She's like, hey, maybe we shouldn't do this, and she
- 39:09Speaker 1: probably got, you know, made.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Fun of for it.
- 39:11Speaker 12: You gotta be the one that's like.
- 39:12Speaker 1: You gotta be you gotta be the one who always
- 39:14Speaker 1: had a history.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Yes, and the fact that they thought it was cool
- 39:18Speaker 2: like what losers. Yeah, imagine like twenty twenty years from now,
- 39:23Speaker 2: they're like setting you know, a fire pit, or they're
- 39:25Speaker 2: sitting with some friends and somebody asked a question like
- 39:28Speaker 2: what's the you know, they ask like some deep question
- 39:30Speaker 2: like what's the biggest lesson you've learned in life? And
- 39:32Speaker 2: they're like, I gotta sit down, Like, hey, I got
- 39:35Speaker 2: a story for you. When I was twenty something years old,
- 39:40Speaker 2: I did this fuck did juice sign and the owner
- 39:43Speaker 2: of the bar was Dave Portnoy. Everybody's like what And
- 39:46Speaker 2: then you're like he sent me to Auschwitz for however long.
- 39:50Speaker 2: They're going to get educated to learn about whatever it is,
- 39:53Speaker 2: and it's like that's their learning moment. They're like, I've
- 39:56Speaker 2: been sober ever since, Like I haven't drake since.
- 40:00Speaker 1: I was just sitting there like, hey, is there anybody
- 40:02Speaker 1: Jewish here? No, I'll tell the story like it's just
- 40:07Speaker 1: that shit is crazy, man.
- 40:08Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they fucked up of all the people too.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Did you see do you guys known as Bilzarian getting
- 40:15Speaker 2: his comments.
- 40:18Speaker 1: And Dave's yeah, what's what's.
- 40:21Speaker 9: He up to?
- 40:21Speaker 2: You know, Dan Bolzerian's on the complete other side.
- 40:24Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's on the he's about that sign.
- 40:26Speaker 2: Yeah, he's about that sign.
- 40:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 40:28Speaker 2: And then one of them I think he said like
- 40:30Speaker 2: you look like you sound like a bitch, or he
- 40:32Speaker 2: said something to him, and then that he wrote up
- 40:34Speaker 2: another thing. How about synonym here to learn about X,
- 40:37Speaker 2: Y and Z. But Basian was like in a couple.
- 40:39Speaker 1: Of them days in the camp of like maybe the
- 40:41Speaker 1: hall cost didn't happen.
- 40:43Speaker 2: That's it's either that or he's like this other thing
- 40:47Speaker 2: happened before that. That's way worse and way bigger. But
- 40:49Speaker 2: nobody talks about it because all this deep historical conspiracy.
- 40:54Speaker 2: I have no clue. I truly have zero clue. He fights,
- 40:58Speaker 2: he fights the war on the like the other side.
- 41:01Speaker 1: I know. I wonder what pieces of information he saw
- 41:03Speaker 1: where he likes, like, I truly believe this now, Ban
- 41:07Speaker 1: He's not the guy I'm going to ask for advice
- 41:09Speaker 1: on things you.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Want to have, like a good oh ship. Scroll just
- 41:12Speaker 2: go to Dan Bolzerian's profile and like scroll through his
- 41:15Speaker 2: replies him replying to certain things.
- 41:18Speaker 1: He's just gone crazy.
- 41:19Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
- 41:19Speaker 1: You remember seeing him at UFC.
- 41:22Speaker 2: He just looked like an action bigger he did. He
- 41:24Speaker 2: looked like a small soldier. He looked like that, dude.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Yeah, Chip, hey, Chip Hazard from small soldiers. Yes, small
- 41:34Speaker 1: like like two and a half in sam shorts, like
- 41:37Speaker 1: just yeah, he was just a ball of muscle, a
- 41:39Speaker 1: ball of Jewish hating muscle. Yeah, you sound like a bitch.
- 41:44Speaker 2: That is crazy, yeah, dude.
- 41:47Speaker 1: Yeah, So I ended up having so these kids are
- 41:49Speaker 1: actually going to Aschwitz, I think, so actually traveling to Germany,
- 41:52Speaker 1: going to Auschwitz and and figuring out I mean, that's
- 41:54Speaker 1: kind of who's paying for it.
- 41:58Speaker 5: They they even I think that what they're to do
- 42:00Speaker 5: is make it as like Red Eye as possible to
- 42:02Speaker 5: where it's like they're not lie there. They go there,
- 42:05Speaker 5: do the tour and then fly back like right after
- 42:09Speaker 5: you want to.
- 42:10Speaker 2: Yeah, because always working with Robert Kraft from New England,
- 42:15Speaker 2: they have the program or something to where they're tapping
- 42:18Speaker 2: into that.
- 42:18Speaker 5: To do it, you got to put them on spirit
- 42:20Speaker 5: over there. Oh yeah, yeah, put them on the boat.
- 42:25Speaker 2: Yeah. You after we get off this bust, you gotta
- 42:28Speaker 2: go see photos of these dudes.
- 42:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for the next half an hour after
- 42:33Speaker 1: we got off this bus, I'll be looking at Dan
- 42:34Speaker 1: Baseoian reply comments.
- 42:36Speaker 2: What these kids are up to?
- 42:37Speaker 1: What do these kids look like?
- 42:38Speaker 5: They they look like exactly how you think they'd look.
- 42:42Speaker 1: I think shaped heads.
- 42:44Speaker 5: No, no, no, not like that.
- 42:47Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of kind of cat like here.
- 42:50Speaker 2: It seems like they've had like work done.
- 42:54Speaker 5: Tony whoa to.
- 42:58Speaker 2: Well, you gotta take a shot at Tony.
- 43:00Speaker 4: He's the man.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Stop stop you guys keep doing this. He's gonna want
- 43:03Speaker 1: to actually do something.
- 43:04Speaker 2: When on that note, though, was Battle Camp still top
- 43:07Speaker 2: ten on Netflix? When do we know season for a second?
- 43:13Speaker 2: A second season?
- 43:14Speaker 6: So?
- 43:14Speaker 1: Uh, Usually they do numbers on seven days, which we
- 43:17Speaker 1: we were told it's doing great, But twenty eight days
- 43:21Speaker 1: is when we'll know if they're like, Okay, we're going
- 43:23Speaker 1: to do a season two or not. So I'm kind
- 43:25Speaker 1: of just sitting limbo and just wait. But then I
- 43:27Speaker 1: think to myself, like, when would we ever do this?
- 43:29Speaker 1: Like with our schedule, am I going to be able
- 43:32Speaker 1: to go and host something for a month.
- 43:35Speaker 2: It's a it's been a sick it's been a sick concept.
- 43:38Speaker 5: The finale is awesome for I'm not gonna spoil it
- 43:40Speaker 5: for anybody, but y'all need to watch the finale.
- 43:42Speaker 2: Is it good?
- 43:43Speaker 5: Oh yeah? I love the challenges, mane. The challenges are
- 43:47Speaker 5: so creative.
- 43:48Speaker 1: I love the spelling Bee.
- 43:49Speaker 5: They had Taylor running the spelling Bee, gonna do a.
- 43:53Speaker 1: Spelling be I thought, I literally think, I thought about
- 43:55Speaker 1: you guys. It was like, when they see this, they're
- 43:58Speaker 1: the last run spelling b But those words were crazy.
- 44:02Speaker 5: Crazy easy. He misspelled quail.
- 44:04Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like they were like quail.
- 44:06Speaker 2: He was like, damn and did shoot.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Onm like her? He spelled a completely different word heard.
- 44:12Speaker 5: They asked him spelled ecosystem. He thought they said echo
- 44:16Speaker 5: echosystem and then my brains maybe through the match, but
- 44:21Speaker 5: maybe not. Yeah, Taylor spelled advantage A D VAN V
- 44:28Speaker 5: A N T A g E. You get better.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Come on, because all those words are saying. It was
- 44:34Speaker 1: basically waiting for that question. I was like, quail q
- 44:37Speaker 1: q U A I L not that hard ecosystem. You
- 44:41Speaker 1: guys don't want to worry about ecosystem. We're sellid on
- 44:44Speaker 1: that one E C O S Y S T E M.
- 44:48Speaker 1: Come on, now, you cookie it's just what it is. Man.
- 44:52Speaker 1: We got to know these words, guys, but it was
- 44:54Speaker 1: a lot of fun.
- 44:54Speaker 5: If you do another season, they should let us come
- 44:56Speaker 5: up with They should let bust and come up with
- 44:58Speaker 5: a challenge.
- 44:59Speaker 1: If we do another season, I want someone from the
- 45:01Speaker 1: bus in the show.
- 45:02Speaker 5: If they don't allow it, they should let you.
- 45:04Speaker 2: If somebody on the on the Bus got to be
- 45:07Speaker 2: on the show, Jared Beeman.
- 45:09Speaker 5: He wouldn't be able to handle it.
- 45:10Speaker 4: Bro.
- 45:11Speaker 1: That's my top two votes would be JP or Jack.
- 45:15Speaker 1: I think they will because Jared could easily get voted
- 45:20Speaker 1: out immediately, and I feel like Jack will do a
- 45:24Speaker 1: good job athletically enough. They're good team players. I think
- 45:28Speaker 1: they would be solid.
- 45:29Speaker 2: I think Jared might be Jared's That's what I'm saying
- 45:33Speaker 2: that the characters. The characters on the show, it's like
- 45:38Speaker 2: you being the host. The concept is awesome. You have
- 45:41Speaker 2: all these things, and then you just have cameras on
- 45:42Speaker 2: these just different types of people outside of Tony. It's
- 45:46Speaker 2: not like you're showing up to watch these people do
- 45:48Speaker 2: a show, but you end up kind of like loving
- 45:51Speaker 2: it because there they all have these quirks, and I
- 45:54Speaker 2: just think Jared would be so funny. Bro. Whether he's
- 45:58Speaker 2: overthinking it, it doesn't matter. You just let jaredy.
- 46:01Speaker 1: Just let Jared. But would Jared show himself because he
- 46:05Speaker 1: doesn't even want to be on the back of the
- 46:06Speaker 1: bus podcast. He doesn't want to be on camera.
- 46:09Speaker 2: That's the best part.
- 46:10Speaker 5: The only Yeah, Jared would crush. We would just have
- 46:13Speaker 5: to be there for him when he returns in the
- 46:14Speaker 5: months leading up to the show coming out, because you
- 46:17Speaker 5: know he'd be met unraveling a little bit. Yeah, Like, now, Jared,
- 46:20Speaker 5: trust me, everyone is going to like you.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Just everyone's gonna like you. It comes out like who
- 46:26Speaker 1: it was tough?
- 46:27Speaker 5: Why were you deeming jaredy?
- 46:29Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 46:29Speaker 2: No, but it was well thought of. I love the
- 46:33Speaker 2: like with the wheel, like you'll kind of run it
- 46:35Speaker 2: like it's a vote, Like it's got all these different
- 46:37Speaker 2: nuances to like kind of the gaming aspect of it
- 46:40Speaker 2: to where some chance some it's like, you know, people
- 46:42Speaker 2: know who's voting for who, maybe they don't know who's
- 46:44Speaker 2: voting for who, and then ultimately it doesn't matter because
- 46:47Speaker 2: then it's like up to the fate of the wheel, right,
- 46:49Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
- 46:49Speaker 1: If your name's in there. One time that we saw
- 46:51Speaker 1: a couple of times in the.
- 46:52Speaker 2: Game, right, like those couple of episodes where somebody voted
- 46:54Speaker 2: on one person, it just fills up, and then somebody
- 46:57Speaker 2: who's just on their once goes home and it just
- 46:58Speaker 2: shocks everything. And then leaking into that afterwards, everybody knows
- 47:02Speaker 2: like damn, they were going for me the whole time, right,
- 47:04Speaker 2: and it starts building up all these storylines with trying
- 47:06Speaker 2: to go after each other.
- 47:07Speaker 1: That's what I was impressed by Avery, because Avery, in
- 47:10Speaker 1: the beginning of the show was the one that she was.
- 47:12Speaker 1: It was her and Irena or her and Lexi. In
- 47:16Speaker 1: the first Wheel.
- 47:17Speaker 5: Ceremony, I forgot about Irena.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I had a tough showing, but uh yeah,
- 47:23Speaker 1: Avery was like voted for a bunch and then all
- 47:25Speaker 1: of a sudden, she just like did a great job
- 47:27Speaker 1: of like going under the radar because I didn't know.
- 47:29Speaker 1: I still have not like watched the show. The only
- 47:31Speaker 1: part of the show I've watched was with you guys.
- 47:33Speaker 1: But like I would just show up and hey, we
- 47:35Speaker 1: think they're going for this person, and then I would
- 47:37Speaker 1: kind of just notice how Avery was like public enemy
- 47:39Speaker 1: number one or two, and then all of a sudden
- 47:41Speaker 1: she's like halfway through the thing, I'm like, man, she
- 47:43Speaker 1: must be just handling herself right in camp because it
- 47:47Speaker 1: is fun the way like challenges athletically. Then you add
- 47:50Speaker 1: the punishment so the people who win have a little
- 47:51Speaker 1: bit of power over to see if they want to
- 47:53Speaker 1: get you on the wheel to kind of add a
- 47:54Speaker 1: couple extra names, and then it's a vote, so it's
- 47:57Speaker 1: popularity and then it all comes down a chance at
- 47:59Speaker 1: the end.
- 48:00Speaker 2: Yeah, like if you're on there, we want spoil. But
- 48:02Speaker 2: that one contestant where their name, their name was only
- 48:06Speaker 2: on their one time they were also in the challenge
- 48:09Speaker 2: or what it was, it called the punishment challenge. They
- 48:11Speaker 2: win the punishment challenge. That was the ice cold that
- 48:13Speaker 2: was the cold tuble where you gotta hold your breath. Yeah,
- 48:15Speaker 2: that person wins all the stuff and does all things
- 48:18Speaker 2: right and they're very loved and favored in the game,
- 48:20Speaker 2: and then there their names on there one time and
- 48:22Speaker 2: it gets hit and then they go home.
- 48:23Speaker 5: It's crazy at the end, you want your name on
- 48:26Speaker 5: the wheel for the finale, which is a nice twist.
- 48:29Speaker 1: Yeah, that dude, I wish we could. I mean the
- 48:33Speaker 1: ending with the planks were trying to be my favorite one.
- 48:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 48:39Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just the challenge. It's not even the spoil.
- 48:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 48:42Speaker 1: I was gonna tell something about somebody that was in
- 48:44Speaker 1: it that was kind of scary that happened during production because.
- 48:48Speaker 5: I was mad about one thing that happened on there.
- 48:49Speaker 5: I felt like there should have been more force.
- 48:52Speaker 1: I'm with you on that, the thing that we want
- 48:54Speaker 1: you on that, but also if if you were me
- 48:56Speaker 1: in that position, like being a part of it, I'm
- 48:58Speaker 1: thinking to myself, there's no way I'm gonna rest, but
- 49:00Speaker 1: you have to go.
- 49:01Speaker 5: Up here, right. It was like a little kid that
- 49:02Speaker 5: won't go off.
- 49:03Speaker 2: The diving board.
- 49:04Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but it was like, obviously you're up there,
- 49:06Speaker 1: bro that that tower is high. I mean, when we're
- 49:10Speaker 1: up there shooting that portion, I'm thinking, yeah, that's scary
- 49:13Speaker 1: to stand up there. But there was one individual who
- 49:16Speaker 1: was not afraid of dropping because they've done the drop
- 49:17Speaker 1: before and they knew that the plank they were going
- 49:20Speaker 1: on was going to be a drop plank, and they
- 49:24Speaker 1: have their harness on but they're not clipped in, and
- 49:26Speaker 1: they just go, Okay, I guess I'll just go And
- 49:28Speaker 1: they walk out on the plank with nothing on, and
- 49:31Speaker 1: they have like one step on and like me, the
- 49:34Speaker 1: camera people, the production people screaming in my ear like
- 49:36Speaker 1: grab grab like and I'm like, oh, get them back,
- 49:40Speaker 1: and they had to clip them up and then go out.
- 49:42Speaker 1: But this dude, I've given away a little bit. But
- 49:45Speaker 1: this dude was like so lase fair about it ends
- 49:48Speaker 1: up dropping but he could have like, legit just ruined
- 49:52Speaker 1: the whole show.
- 49:54Speaker 2: What ruined everything? Go check it out battle Camp on Netflix.

- 51:01Speaker 1: friend of the bus, one of the boys. I know
- 51:04Speaker 1: this happened last Tuesday, but we didn't get a chance
- 51:06Speaker 1: to talk about a lot of things unfolded. George Kittle
- 51:08Speaker 1: reached out to the boys said, hey, got this news.
- 51:10Speaker 1: Do you want to break it? We say, yes, absolutely,
- 51:13Speaker 1: we want to break it. Becomes the highest paid tied

- 51:30Speaker 1: We're getting graphics ready, Coop's crushing it. There's a little
- 51:33Speaker 1: thing tank in the back. How do we Hey, six am,
- 51:35Speaker 1: this is gonna go out boom. The information goes out.
- 51:38Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and for my little red light, I say,
- 51:40Speaker 1: let's see what's going on here? Pop on the old
- 51:41Speaker 1: search bar on the X. What do I see? I
- 51:44Speaker 1: see Rap, I see Ian Rapport, who's a great guy.
- 51:48Speaker 1: I see NFL and Pro Football Talk all want to
- 51:51Speaker 1: talk about the news, but don't want to give credit
- 51:53Speaker 1: to the people that gave the news. So will Compton
- 51:55Speaker 1: doing will Compton things decided to handle business?
- 51:58Speaker 2: Yeah, we had to take a walk that my morning coffee.
- 52:00Speaker 2: I saw Chefty he was giving us credit.
- 52:02Speaker 1: I did see the man.
- 52:03Speaker 2: I did see Ian like quote tweet the Busting with
- 52:06Speaker 2: the Boys tweet and say what deal got done? Or
- 52:09Speaker 2: he said something that essentially gave credit to busting. But
- 52:13Speaker 2: then his next tweet was writing out everything contractually. And
- 52:16Speaker 2: then the NFL uses that because they're paying Ian, so
- 52:19Speaker 2: they're boosting him. And then yeah, the Pro Football Talk
- 52:21Speaker 2: when they weren't giving us credit, and then they went
- 52:23Speaker 2: back by being like, oh, your credit's right here, So
- 52:25Speaker 2: they went in and edited the article to make it
- 52:27Speaker 2: seem like they had credit there for us the whole time. Yeah,
- 52:30Speaker 2: and since it's like, you know, I know Ian, we
- 52:33Speaker 2: know Ian, I know he's with the Pat mcaview boys,
- 52:35Speaker 2: so I know he's like one of the boys. So
- 52:36Speaker 2: I'm thinking, like, as I'm doing this walk thing, he'll
- 52:38Speaker 2: understand and get the joke and everything else. He did
- 52:40Speaker 2: to an extent, but he did facetimey. He like he
- 52:43Speaker 2: reached out to Delaney, Hey, can I get Can I
- 52:45Speaker 2: get Will's numbers?
- 52:46Speaker 1: Llody Walker?
- 52:47Speaker 2: Yeah. Delane's like, oh, let me ask him. So Delaney
- 52:50Speaker 2: calls and said, oh, yeah, yeah, give it to give
- 52:51Speaker 2: it a rap. And I answered him like, oh, look
- 52:55Speaker 2: who it is. I got a little shit grin on
- 52:57Speaker 2: my face. And he's like, interesting video you had yesterday.
- 53:01Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, I thought so too. He's like, that's
- 53:02Speaker 2: an interesting perspective. And it wasn't. It wasn't like full
- 53:06Speaker 2: jokes at first. It was more of like he I
- 53:09Speaker 2: think he felt some type of a little to some
- 53:11Speaker 2: type of you don't want to make it seem like
- 53:12Speaker 2: he sens that he doesn't get a blah blah blah.
- 53:15Speaker 2: I think he felt like a type of way to
- 53:17Speaker 2: an extent about the video, and so I was just like, oh, yeah,
- 53:21Speaker 2: what was h what was your perspective? And he kind
- 53:25Speaker 2: of gives out he was kind of he was kind
- 53:26Speaker 2: of kind of telling me why the NFL, like why
- 53:28Speaker 2: it goes the way it does. He's like, nobody really
- 53:30Speaker 2: gives a whole lot of credit anymore. I was trying
- 53:32Speaker 2: to do my thing. He's like, look, I'm fired up
- 53:34Speaker 2: that you guys got the George Kittle news. Even though
- 53:36Speaker 2: I felt like I was on an inside track, He's like,
- 53:38Speaker 2: I see cheft. He gave you guys the credit. He
- 53:40Speaker 2: had to put a put a little thing. He had
- 53:42Speaker 2: to put a little thing in there. But he's like,
- 53:44Speaker 2: I saw a chef to give you credit. I even
- 53:45Speaker 2: quote tweeted you guys and and gave you a thing.
- 53:48Speaker 2: But I'm essentially when I'm writing out, I'm verifying. And
- 53:50Speaker 2: then obviously the NFL. He's like the NFL. I'm an
- 53:52Speaker 2: employee of the NFL, so it's like NFL ESPN. They'll
- 53:56Speaker 2: promote their guys in house who kind of report on
- 53:59Speaker 2: the news, and you kind of know that the whole time,
- 54:01Speaker 2: and I'm just like, you know, I was making it
- 54:02Speaker 2: seem like, you know, I was just you were kind
- 54:04Speaker 2: of the vessel because it's like the NFL's going you
- 54:07Speaker 2: kind of don't know who's behind those profiles of the NFL.
- 54:10Speaker 2: So no, that Ian's tight end. He's also a boy.
- 54:12Speaker 2: It's like, I'm gonna use him. He's gonna be the
- 54:14Speaker 2: vessel to try to get to the NFL. So I
- 54:16Speaker 2: was just doing a fun thing and he's like, look,
- 54:18Speaker 2: you know, he's like, if if we have to fight,
- 54:20Speaker 2: you know, I had to. I had to. I had
- 54:21Speaker 2: to scrap with that dude at the Starbucks and then
- 54:24Speaker 2: we started laughing. I was like, oh to oh yeah,
- 54:26Speaker 2: so it was everything was good. The beef was squashed.
- 54:29Speaker 2: There wasn't even beef because a dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 54:32Speaker 1: He was like, understand the joke.
- 54:34Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, legitimately was just messing around. I
- 54:38Speaker 2: think he did know that, but I also think at
- 54:40Speaker 2: the same time he was like, you know, he just
- 54:41Speaker 2: wanted to talk about the video. Yeah, He's like, tell Taylor.
- 54:44Speaker 2: I said, what's up? You boys? Keep crushing and keep
- 54:46Speaker 2: doing what you're doing. And I was like, I'm gonna
- 54:48Speaker 2: put up a tweet if you don't mind, and talk
- 54:49Speaker 2: about your little Hey, I kind of heard about the
- 54:51Speaker 2: scrap at Starbucks. I want no smoke, I want no problems.
- 54:53Speaker 2: But yeah, everything was good. Good.
- 54:55Speaker 1: What was the deal with the Starbucks.
- 54:58Speaker 2: So at the draft, if you remember, there was a
- 55:00Speaker 2: big storyline of two media people like getting after it
- 55:04Speaker 2: out of Starbucks, and it was Ian and I don't
- 55:06Speaker 2: know who the other guy is? Do we do?
- 55:08Speaker 5: We know who the other Jordan Schultz.
- 55:10Speaker 2: Let's just make a friend of the pod. Yeah, I
- 55:14Speaker 2: have no clue, but I remember they were talking about
- 55:16Speaker 2: on the MacFee Show the next day. There's like a
- 55:17Speaker 2: big scrap, but apparently it wasn't like a It was
- 55:20Speaker 2: just like a confrontation. There was some yelling and shouting,
- 55:22Speaker 2: but I don't think it ever got physical.
- 55:23Speaker 1: Inside scoop World, man, there's only a handful of boys.
- 55:27Speaker 5: That's hilarious because so when it was going viral, I
- 55:30Speaker 5: guess maybe between you and Ian, he followed me. I
- 55:32Speaker 5: think he followed somebody else in the back and he
- 55:34Speaker 5: sent a DM like hey love the show.
- 55:36Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's a he's a homie. It was just
- 55:38Speaker 2: like when I'll give him the little shit grin, he
- 55:40Speaker 2: was like, oh, interesting perspective. I'm just thinking, like I'm
- 55:43Speaker 2: fully joking around.
- 55:43Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
- 55:44Speaker 1: You don't want to actually, oh Schultz DM.
- 55:46Speaker 5: He's like, love the show, love what each other doing
- 55:49Speaker 5: after all that beef was going.
- 55:50Speaker 1: Dude, I don't know if this is true or not,
- 55:52Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure Schultz's dad or somebody like was
- 55:55Speaker 1: like CEO or like one of like their families and
- 55:58Speaker 1: one of the founders of Starbucks.
- 55:59Speaker 5: Yeah, they're like that really.
- 56:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember I remember getting ah. I remember my
- 56:06Speaker 1: agent reaching out to me and being like, hey, this guy,
- 56:08Speaker 1: Jordan Schultz's like starting to become like an insider guy.
- 56:11Speaker 1: Do you mind going on his YouTube show? This is
- 56:13Speaker 1: like twenty seventeen or something like that.
- 56:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 56:16Speaker 1: So, boy, another another version of somebody who their parents
- 56:20Speaker 1: are super successful, trying to make a lane for themselves,
- 56:22Speaker 1: just like Arthur Smith. So shout out Schultz, dudent. We
- 56:25Speaker 1: should get a rapping Schultz in a rough and rowdy
- 56:30Speaker 1: old just on the bus, get.
- 56:31Speaker 2: Him on the bush.
- 56:32Speaker 1: Yeah, we're not with Barcelona. I don't know why. He's
- 56:34Speaker 1: still fun, still fun times, still fun times.
- 56:37Speaker 2: No, the whole credit world is very interesting. Yeah, it
- 56:40Speaker 2: seems like with everybody inside there's oh yeah, very relive.
- 56:44Speaker 2: It's like anytime those moments get to happen for us,
- 56:46Speaker 2: I always see it as like such like a positive
- 56:48Speaker 2: thing because you're always like the guy, Like we're always
- 56:51Speaker 2: positioned as the guy going against the man, and it
- 56:54Speaker 2: just helps create like, you know, fun content to make

- 1:11:00Speaker 14: so for like fourth grade until fourth grade until like
- 1:11:05Speaker 14: sixth grade, and then like eighth grade. After eighth grade,
- 1:11:09Speaker 14: like a year or so after that, and then we
- 1:11:11Speaker 14: was kind of like stable it.
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: So it was like pockets, you know what I'm saying.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: Yeah, like sixth grade to eighth grade and then breaking
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: eighth grade and then.
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: Yeah, then we stayed at the house.
- 1:11:20Speaker 14: Then we stayed at a house for like a year
- 1:11:21Speaker 14: and a half two years, and then like a little
- 1:11:23Speaker 14: pocket again.
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: So yeah, and the pocket was essentially living out of
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: your dad.
- 1:11:27Speaker 14: Suburban yeah, or like motels like hotels like all of
- 1:11:31Speaker 14: that anywhere. We used to always try to go to
- 1:11:34Speaker 14: somewhere where it had the free breakfast in the morning.
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: Yeah, cereal gets a little serial.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: Your pockets and everything.
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: Yeah for real.
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: I mean obviously when you sit back now, it's an
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: crazy story, but you're talking about like at that point,
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: you weren't even you didn't even realize what was going on. Yeah,
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: like you're just busy having fun being a kid like
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: man experience, like in the moment, not looking back.
- 1:11:59Speaker 14: On it in a moment, I would say it was
- 1:12:03Speaker 14: different because I used to be upset like having you know,
- 1:12:06Speaker 14: one pair of shoe, you know you're gonna have to
- 1:12:07Speaker 14: make work for the whole year, or like maybe two
- 1:12:10Speaker 14: if you if you you know what I'm saying, Lucky
- 1:12:12Speaker 14: and like half into like uh, you know, two or
- 1:12:15Speaker 14: three pairs, like uniforms and having to wash the me
- 1:12:18Speaker 14: these day, or whether it's in the sink or pulling
- 1:12:21Speaker 14: over and like you know, going to a little pump
- 1:12:23Speaker 14: side of the side of the road, like pumping water,
- 1:12:26Speaker 14: like having to heat up water, all of these types
- 1:12:28Speaker 14: of things.
- 1:12:28Speaker 4: It was just it was what I was used to.
- 1:12:31Speaker 14: I never really I never really thought it was something
- 1:12:35Speaker 14: different or unusual until really.
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: I got to college. And when I got to college, it.
- 1:12:41Speaker 14: Was like the first time I had a bed, you know,
- 1:12:43Speaker 14: so like I'm like, damn, Like I used to sleep
- 1:12:45Speaker 14: on the floor. I used to make a palette on
- 1:12:47Speaker 14: the floor for like the first like month and a half.
- 1:12:49Speaker 14: And my roommate earth Smith, he used to ask me, like, bro,
- 1:12:53Speaker 14: like what's going on? Like so when we that was
- 1:12:56Speaker 14: my first time like really processing it, you know what
- 1:13:00Speaker 14: I'm saying, like really like sitting down and being like, Okay,
- 1:13:04Speaker 14: this is not normal, Like what I've experienced, what I've
- 1:13:06Speaker 14: gone through is not normal. Like And then it got
- 1:13:08Speaker 14: to the point where like football was always like an
- 1:13:11Speaker 14: atlet for me, and at Alabama, they it got to
- 1:13:15Speaker 14: a point where they was like, man, you might want
- 1:13:17Speaker 14: to talk to somebody like you might want to, you know,
- 1:13:19Speaker 14: either get counseling or open up to somebody you feel
- 1:13:23Speaker 14: like you trust about what you've been through to be
- 1:13:26Speaker 14: able to like because I never wanted to tell the story.
- 1:13:29Speaker 14: I never it was never it was a story that
- 1:13:31Speaker 14: was never going to be told because I felt embarrassed
- 1:13:33Speaker 14: by the story, you know what I'm saying, Like, so
- 1:13:35Speaker 14: I never want Like even when I went to school,
- 1:13:37Speaker 14: people never knew. Like only people that knew was my friends,
- 1:13:40Speaker 14: cause they'll come over and be like where we at
- 1:13:42Speaker 14: right now? You know what I'm saying, But like like
- 1:13:44Speaker 14: that was really like it so like for me. We
- 1:13:48Speaker 14: had a media guy at the time. His name was
- 1:13:49Speaker 14: also Josh at Alabama, and he was like, man, he
- 1:13:53Speaker 14: the one that convinced me to do it, and he
- 1:13:55Speaker 14: was just basically telling me. He was like, man, like
- 1:13:57Speaker 14: you don't understand how many people like have same story
- 1:14:00Speaker 14: going on or a similar story. Uh, and you don't
- 1:14:04Speaker 14: know how like your impact it can affect and change
- 1:14:07Speaker 14: somebody life. And that's when I was like, you know what,
- 1:14:09Speaker 14: Like you're right, and then that's what like I finally
- 1:14:12Speaker 14: told the story, like I never talked about it. I'll
- 1:14:15Speaker 14: tell people all the time that talking about it then
- 1:14:19Speaker 14: was like the first real time I ever talked about
- 1:14:21Speaker 14: it was, And I didn't know how therapeutic it really
- 1:14:24Speaker 14: was for me to finally like process it, you know,
- 1:14:27Speaker 14: So it was smooth?
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: What what was uh? What was having Josh push you
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: to do it? Were you somebody who was very quiet
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: and they were trying.
- 1:14:35Speaker 14: To like yeah, so I was quiet. I was quiet,
- 1:14:38Speaker 14: but like I was like, I was quiet, but I
- 1:14:44Speaker 14: got in trouble a lot, you know what I'm saying,
- 1:14:46Speaker 14: Like a trouble maker. Like I did everything I was
- 1:14:51Speaker 14: supposed to do when it comes to like schooling and stuff.
- 1:14:54Speaker 14: But I used to just do dumb shit like all
- 1:14:55Speaker 14: the time, you know what I'm saying, Like like I
- 1:14:57Speaker 14: got in trouble for rid of my dirt bike on
- 1:14:59Speaker 14: a quad, like just dumb shit, having Paintbay Wars in
- 1:15:02Speaker 14: the in the dorm like you know what I'm saying. Yeah, literally,
- 1:15:09Speaker 14: like just doing dumb stuff, you know what I'm saying. So,
- 1:15:11Speaker 14: like it got to the point where like I have
- 1:15:15Speaker 14: I had a son, I have my son in high school.
- 1:15:17Speaker 14: My literally national signing day February third, my senior year.
- 1:15:23Speaker 14: So like when I got to my junior year, and
- 1:15:26Speaker 14: that's when I finally told the story Like my junior year.
- 1:15:29Speaker 14: When it got to my junior year, I was kind
- 1:15:31Speaker 14: of getting to the point where I'm like, shit is
- 1:15:33Speaker 14: starting to get real.
- 1:15:34Speaker 4: Like I'm like, all right, what am I doing?
- 1:15:37Speaker 14: Like I'm gonna have to, you know, either go to
- 1:15:38Speaker 14: school and be and be good at this, get a
- 1:15:40Speaker 14: degree and go work, or like I need to, you know,
- 1:15:43Speaker 14: take this football stuff kind of serious and figure it out.
- 1:15:46Speaker 4: And so like as I got.
- 1:15:49Speaker 14: To that point where I used to class, like I
- 1:15:52Speaker 14: class was saving a couple of times because I just
- 1:15:56Speaker 14: felt like the pressure, you know, the outside pressure was
- 1:15:58Speaker 14: starting to like all right, you run out of time.
- 1:16:01Speaker 14: And then at the same time, I'm like, okay, I'm
- 1:16:03Speaker 14: doing everything right from the class standpoint to you know, workouts.
- 1:16:06Speaker 14: I'm not missing no workouts. I'm like, damn, I'm not
- 1:16:08Speaker 14: playing for real, Like I'm like, What's what's going on?
- 1:16:11Speaker 14: And then like I finally just like spassed on saving
- 1:16:15Speaker 14: one game, like like yeah, it was.
- 1:16:19Speaker 4: One of them, Like you know, how which game was it?
- 1:16:21Speaker 4: I remember it?
- 1:16:22Speaker 14: It was all miss my junior year old Miss. I
- 1:16:24Speaker 14: think it was the third game of the season, third
- 1:16:26Speaker 14: or fourth game of the season, I had scored and
- 1:16:30Speaker 14: Henry bro Henry Ruggs little brother, play linebacker and like
- 1:16:35Speaker 14: he I dragged him. I'm like, he holding on to me,
- 1:16:37Speaker 14: like six yards it is, I'm still grabbing me. I'm like,
- 1:16:39Speaker 14: so we had some words. Stay through the flag, so
- 1:16:42Speaker 14: I'm like, okay, I already know what's coming and saving
- 1:16:45Speaker 14: you know, yeah, I already know what's coming. So I'm like,
- 1:16:48Speaker 14: all right, saving cuss me out. I'm like, all right,
- 1:16:51Speaker 14: I eat it, you know, like like everybody, especially when
- 1:16:53Speaker 14: you're in the wrong, You're like, all right whatever. But
- 1:16:56Speaker 14: then like a couple of drives go back and he
- 1:16:57Speaker 14: came back to like cuss me out again, and I
- 1:17:00Speaker 14: must have got up, and I'm like, yeah, we had
- 1:17:02Speaker 14: some words.
- 1:17:03Speaker 4: And then after that, like.
- 1:17:04Speaker 14: We got to have time, and I was really like,
- 1:17:08Speaker 14: it's actually the first time I'm actually fully telling this story.
- 1:17:11Speaker 4: We got to halftime and I was like, I took
- 1:17:13Speaker 4: my pass off.
- 1:17:14Speaker 14: I'm like I'm done, like I'm finna go go transfer
- 1:17:17Speaker 14: like Oregon talk. You know, I'm talking to Oregon. I'm
- 1:17:20Speaker 14: talking Oklahoma, like I'm about to like you know what
- 1:17:22Speaker 14: I'm saying, like figure it out. I'm like, it's my
- 1:17:24Speaker 14: junior Year'm runn out of time. But then I talked
- 1:17:26Speaker 14: to coach Locks, you know, he the head coach of
- 1:17:28Speaker 14: Maryland now, and he was just basically telling me like, man, like,
- 1:17:32Speaker 14: you don't understand that this look if you if you
- 1:17:34Speaker 14: was to quit on your team right now and leave,
- 1:17:36Speaker 14: like the look even.
- 1:17:38Speaker 4: If you write, it's not gonna look good.
- 1:17:41Speaker 14: So like I was like, you know what, like you write,
- 1:17:43Speaker 14: I have to start processing and I ain't gonna lie
- 1:17:45Speaker 14: to cry.
- 1:17:45Speaker 4: Bro, Like I sat down cry because I'm like, bro.
- 1:17:47Speaker 14: What more do y'all want me to do? You know
- 1:17:49Speaker 14: what I'm saying, Like I'm doing everything. You're right, and
- 1:17:51Speaker 14: y'all still.
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: This might be our Buffalo wall wings. Yeah, interrupting an
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: incredible story.
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: I need to hear at the end of the story.
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: He's no clue. Josh Jacobs just sitting in the garage
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: talking about ole miss Alabama.
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: Halftime pads are off. Yeah, oh my god.
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: All right, so you're sitting there and it's weighing on
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: you so much you start having tears because.
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: Yeah, you're halftime.
- 1:18:16Speaker 14: Yeah, So so yeah, I started it was at halftime.
- 1:18:19Speaker 14: I started, like, you know, like literally like I'm so
- 1:18:22Speaker 14: frustrated at the point, I'm like, I'm mad. I want
- 1:18:24Speaker 14: to fight, honestly and like and that's the and the
- 1:18:27Speaker 14: crazy thing is that's the first time they ever seen
- 1:18:29Speaker 14: that side of me, you know what I'm saying. So
- 1:18:31Speaker 14: like they always like we used to him just being quiet,
- 1:18:34Speaker 14: like you don't never say nothing like you feel me,
- 1:18:36Speaker 14: so like I was like amped up, and so he
- 1:18:39Speaker 14: told me the story like, Okay, come back, it's a
- 1:18:41Speaker 14: bad look whatever. I'm like, you know, you're right. So
- 1:18:45Speaker 14: we come back out halftime. I'm returning punts. They kicked
- 1:18:49Speaker 14: the ball to me, I'll return it like sixty seventy yards.
- 1:18:52Speaker 14: And I didn't even celebrate. I just stared saving the
- 1:18:55Speaker 14: whole time, walking to the sidelines, just staring them down
- 1:18:58Speaker 14: the whole time. And then we at a meeting on Monday,
- 1:19:01Speaker 14: and we basically like sat out here, like man, what's
- 1:19:03Speaker 14: going on?
- 1:19:04Speaker 4: Like we started talking.
- 1:19:06Speaker 14: I'm like, man, like you say that you you know,
- 1:19:08Speaker 14: take care of guys that you feel like, work hard
- 1:19:11Speaker 14: and don't get in trouble and do all these things.
- 1:19:13Speaker 14: I'm like, what more do you want me to do
- 1:19:15Speaker 14: to be able to play? I'm scoring like when I
- 1:19:16Speaker 14: touched the ball. I'm like, I'm it ain't like I'm
- 1:19:19Speaker 14: playing bad, you know what I'm saying. It's just like
- 1:19:20Speaker 14: I'm not getting too many opportunities. So I'm like, what
- 1:19:23Speaker 14: do you want me to do? If it's not enough.
- 1:19:25Speaker 4: Room for me?
- 1:19:25Speaker 14: Let me know, let me move around, like you know
- 1:19:27Speaker 14: what I'm saying type deal. And this was before you
- 1:19:29Speaker 14: know you couldn't go play you I would have to,
- 1:19:31Speaker 14: you know.
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: So I'm like, did you read shirt? Nah?
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: Okay, so you would exactly.
- 1:19:39Speaker 14: So like I'm like, man like he was like you
- 1:19:42Speaker 14: know what, Like that conversation changed everything everything, Like me
- 1:19:46Speaker 14: and him, like we became like kind of like tight
- 1:19:48Speaker 14: after that. Because one thing about Saving that I've learned
- 1:19:51Speaker 14: and being around him is he respects people that talk
- 1:19:56Speaker 14: back to them and not what I mean, like not
- 1:19:58Speaker 14: be disrespectful, but like have the ball enough to say
- 1:20:00Speaker 14: something back to him, you know what I'm saying. Like
- 1:20:02Speaker 14: a lot of people walk on eggshells around him, whether
- 1:20:06Speaker 14: they playing for him or they working for him.
- 1:20:08Speaker 4: They just scared of him, you know what I'm saying.
- 1:20:09Speaker 14: So like anybody that got like a little bit of
- 1:20:12Speaker 14: he liked, you know what I'm saying, So after that,
- 1:20:15Speaker 14: I just started playing. I started making plays, start making plays,
- 1:20:18Speaker 14: and then the rest is history.
- 1:20:19Speaker 2: I mean, but that second year too, Like didn't you
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: break your ankle?
- 1:20:23Speaker 14: Yeah, so my second year I played the whole season.
- 1:20:29Speaker 14: So I did it.
- 1:20:30Speaker 4: Like it was Mississippi State or some I think it
- 1:20:32Speaker 4: was Mississippi State. I had fractured my ankle.
- 1:20:36Speaker 14: I had like a peraneal tendon and like reconnacular surgery.
- 1:20:41Speaker 14: So you know normally that surgery like it's like seven months.
- 1:20:44Speaker 14: So after the literally two days after the championship game,
- 1:20:48Speaker 14: I went and had surgery. So like the whole off season,
- 1:20:51Speaker 14: I was like training, like trying to get back. Like
- 1:20:53Speaker 14: the first couple of games, even my junior of my
- 1:20:56Speaker 14: first couple of games was kind of like you know,
- 1:20:58Speaker 14: like you you know how you feel when you got
- 1:21:00Speaker 14: an injuries, Like it's like you there, but you're not
- 1:21:02Speaker 14: where you was.
- 1:21:03Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. It take a little.
- 1:21:04Speaker 14: Mission, like you don't like the cut, feel a little off,
- 1:21:07Speaker 14: like you know, things like that. So like I finally
- 1:21:10Speaker 14: got back to the swing and I was like, yeah,
- 1:21:13Speaker 14: I'm ready, like and then it was also a blessing
- 1:21:16Speaker 14: in disguise for me because I put on weight because
- 1:21:19Speaker 14: all came into college one eighty five.
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: Bro, and you were young. Bro, yeah you look like
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: a kid. Like I was watching when you was doing
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: the hat, putting on the Alabama hat and how.
- 1:21:30Speaker 4: Much did you ate eighteighty five?
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: I mean, he looked like a kid. Bro. It was
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: nuts because that was like your yeah, yeah, we can
- 1:21:38Speaker 2: get into that too.
- 1:21:39Speaker 14: But going, yeah, so I put I ended up putting
- 1:21:42Speaker 14: on thirty pounds because you know, when you when you
- 1:21:44Speaker 14: can't really walk, all you can do is lift and like,
- 1:21:47Speaker 14: so that was like one of like a blessing in
- 1:21:48Speaker 14: disguise for me.
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: But man, the rest was history. Man.
- 1:21:52Speaker 14: Like they started scheming up plays for me. I started
- 1:21:54Speaker 14: making plays. I'm like, okay, then I started And which
- 1:21:57Speaker 14: was crazy was the coaches towards the end of the season.
- 1:22:01Speaker 14: The coaches like, yeah, you need to leave. I'm like,
- 1:22:04Speaker 14: what you mean I need to leave? I'm not even
- 1:22:05Speaker 14: the starter, Like I haven't even started, Like what you
- 1:22:08Speaker 14: mean leave? Like they like, go to the draft.
- 1:22:10Speaker 4: I'm like huh.
- 1:22:12Speaker 14: So, like the coaches really convinced me to even go.
- 1:22:14Speaker 14: I wasn't even gonna come out.
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: So after your third year, you weren't even gonna come out.
- 1:22:18Speaker 4: I wasn't even gonna come out. I didn't even think that.
- 1:22:21Speaker 4: The same year.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: The same year, and at the end of the year,
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: the coach is scolling team, be like, you need to
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: leave our program so our program gets worse so you
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: can make money.
- 1:22:29Speaker 14: But I'm telling you think about the coach. About the
- 1:22:32Speaker 14: coaches is a lot of the coaches are former players.
- 1:22:34Speaker 14: One thing about Saving is he always hires former players,
- 1:22:38Speaker 14: so like it don't matter, He'll figure out a job
- 1:22:40Speaker 14: for you. Like you know what I'm saying, He's that
- 1:22:43Speaker 14: type of dude. But so, like they telling me, and
- 1:22:46Speaker 14: I'm like, I'm like how. And then so I'm getting
- 1:22:49Speaker 14: other you know, sources, people telling me. I'm like, first round,
- 1:22:52Speaker 14: Like they say you the first back. I'm like, it's
- 1:22:54Speaker 14: a guy here, Damien Harris that's like three hundred and
- 1:22:57Speaker 14: four hundred yards away from breaking the record at Alabama.
- 1:23:00Speaker 14: I'm like, what you mean, I'm gonna go in first
- 1:23:02Speaker 14: round before him? Like I'm not, you know, really comprehending it,
- 1:23:05Speaker 14: but they convinced me. And then I'm like, wow, like
- 1:23:08Speaker 14: everything else took her ever yourself real.
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: What was the reason behind you being taken over Damien
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: Harris when he's th threehundred four n yards away, Like,
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: was it your like catching ability like more of an
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: all around back in their mind? Like, because that that
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: is wild if you're essentially the number two.
- 1:23:23Speaker 14: And I wasn't even number two. I was like two
- 1:23:25Speaker 14: slash three because you know, Nag was there too.
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: So like your way how stacked Alabama is?
- 1:23:31Speaker 4: Yeah? Bro, So like that was the thing. Like I
- 1:23:33Speaker 4: was like, but.
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: I'm not really playing, I'm thinking I probably know why
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: everybody that's crazy.
- 1:23:41Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's the thing.
- 1:23:42Speaker 14: So when I asked coach, like when I I remember
- 1:23:44Speaker 14: coming in, Kirby Wilson was my running back coach. I
- 1:23:47Speaker 14: remember asking like that same question. He was like, you
- 1:23:51Speaker 14: want to know why you're the number one back. He said,
- 1:23:53Speaker 14: you played every special teams. Nobody in this building can
- 1:23:57Speaker 14: say anything bad about you. They say you never lay
- 1:23:59Speaker 14: for nothing and Bama literally almost every practice, every other
- 1:24:04Speaker 14: practice is scouts watching us at practice. So like the scouts,
- 1:24:08Speaker 14: you know, they seeing me the whole year. Obviously I'm
- 1:24:10Speaker 14: not like going crazy stat wise, but like yards per carry,
- 1:24:14Speaker 14: all of that is you know up there, catching out
- 1:24:16Speaker 14: the backfield is what main thing that I did, you
- 1:24:19Speaker 14: know in college? So like I think that had played
- 1:24:22Speaker 14: a role into it. But I really don't know. Bro,
- 1:24:25Speaker 14: Like to this day, I'm like, I'll be I'll be
- 1:24:28Speaker 14: I don't want to ask him, like how do he
- 1:24:30Speaker 14: feel about it? But I'll be thinking about it. I'm like, cause.
- 1:24:32Speaker 4: That's like if I was the guy and the third
- 1:24:36Speaker 4: guy went over, I'd be like I would feel sick. Yeah,
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: I would be sick, like for real. So I don't know.
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: I mean all I can say is God for real.
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: So they convince you to leave at the end of
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: the season, what is your process? Like how quickly are
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: now you're now looking for an agent? Because if it's
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: not on your radar at all? How quick? Like who
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: did you talk to you about? Like representation?
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: Where do I go?
- 1:24:57Speaker 4: Train?
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: There's IMG, there's excess, there's all these places you go,
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: Like how fast did you have to make those decisions?
- 1:25:02Speaker 4: Yeah? So it was fast.
- 1:25:05Speaker 14: So right after they used to have at Bama, they
- 1:25:09Speaker 14: got a like I don't know, it's a certain time
- 1:25:12Speaker 14: period where they got a day where agents can come
- 1:25:14Speaker 14: meet you and like meet all the guys. It's like
- 1:25:16Speaker 14: draft eligible and you sit down like with a group
- 1:25:18Speaker 14: of guys or whatever, and you know, saving he's under
- 1:25:20Speaker 14: like c AA and all them, so obviously they're in
- 1:25:23Speaker 14: there and all the other people are in there.
- 1:25:25Speaker 4: But I had a guy that I was close to,
- 1:25:28Speaker 4: which was.
- 1:25:30Speaker 14: Ryan Big Ryan, and he had Chad my agents over there,
- 1:25:35Speaker 14: so Chad. So the moment I met Chad, I was like,
- 1:25:40Speaker 14: it's something about this dude.
- 1:25:42Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I'm like, I'm like, I
- 1:25:44Speaker 4: don't know. And then the first time I'm.
- 1:25:46Speaker 14: Actually kicked it with him, we actually went to an
- 1:25:49Speaker 14: Earl's game in Baltimore and we got in like a
- 1:25:53Speaker 14: little scuffle after the game, and the way he handled
- 1:25:57Speaker 14: the scuff, I was like, this is my god.
- 1:26:01Speaker 4: But I knew. I knew.
- 1:26:02Speaker 14: I was like, this is this is my guy, like
- 1:26:04Speaker 14: and we've been locked in ever since.
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: Real when you're at Bama and you're not ever the
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: future back and I know how competitive you are, how
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: was your mentality throughout your career at Alabama when you're
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: not like the future guy? Because when you think of Alabama,
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: like you're right when you came out and say, oh,
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: who's the Josh Jacobs kill because you think of Trent Richardson,
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: you got Derrick Henry. But how was that mentality like
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: for you as a player at Alabama when I know
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: how competitive you are.
- 1:26:29Speaker 14: The only reason why I went to Bama because I
- 1:26:31Speaker 14: want to prove to myself that I was as good
- 1:26:33Speaker 14: as I thought I was.
- 1:26:34Speaker 4: That was literally the only reason why I went.
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: Bro That is like, that's an amazing answer.
- 1:26:39Speaker 14: Yeah, Like I literally felt like because all my life,
- 1:26:41Speaker 14: I've been the underdog. All my life, I had I
- 1:26:45Speaker 14: had five hundred yards five hunding some yards in a
- 1:26:49Speaker 14: game in high school and still didn't have no offers.
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: Did you know, like stayed in rushing yards like two years.
- 1:26:55Speaker 4: In a row. My junior year, I had twelve hundred
- 1:26:57Speaker 4: yards in four games.
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: Like I'm like it didn't didn't have I didn't have
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: none because you didn't get what bam into what December.
- 1:27:05Speaker 4: I didn't get him to a basketball season.
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: So after his senior year, senior year, Alabama calls, which
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: is crazy because Alabama, the Texas, the USC's. Yeah, usually
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: the classes are done Oklahoma, Yeah, usually their classes are
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: done like two years in advance.
- 1:27:20Speaker 14: And see that's what's crazy. So when they came, so
- 1:27:22Speaker 14: I started getting my first offer was like new Mexico State,
- 1:27:26Speaker 14: and I'm like, Okay, I'm like I'm cool with that
- 1:27:29Speaker 14: because you gotta think. Like for me, the NFL was
- 1:27:32Speaker 14: never a dream for me because it was never a reality.
- 1:27:35Speaker 14: I've never seen nobody, you know, do it or even
- 1:27:38Speaker 14: go far for real. So like for me, I was like,
- 1:27:41Speaker 14: if I get to school, that's all I'm trying to do.
- 1:27:43Speaker 14: Like I'm trying to get to school. I went to school.
- 1:27:45Speaker 14: I majored in business manage me pre law. Like I'm like,
- 1:27:47Speaker 14: I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna go get a real degree,
- 1:27:50Speaker 14: you know, like try to go to work, you.
- 1:27:51Speaker 4: Know what I'm saying.
- 1:27:52Speaker 14: That's what I was trying to set myself up and
- 1:27:53Speaker 14: make some connections, go to work. And so when I
- 1:27:57Speaker 14: it became like more and more serious, I'm like I
- 1:28:00Speaker 14: started thinking more about that, you know, but I didn't
- 1:28:04Speaker 14: understand it. Like Bama came, Bama ended up coming, and
- 1:28:06Speaker 14: then Oklahoma came, and then like a lot of other
- 1:28:08Speaker 14: schools came.
- 1:28:11Speaker 4: I remember the weirdest school I had was like TCU.
- 1:28:14Speaker 14: I ended up getting into it with my well, my
- 1:28:17Speaker 14: dad got into it with the with the recruiter that
- 1:28:19Speaker 14: was recruiting.
- 1:28:19Speaker 4: Because they wanted me to play dB. I saw play dB.
- 1:28:22Speaker 14: So I played corner in safety and like I was,
- 1:28:24Speaker 14: I was decent that I was decent that I was also.
- 1:28:27Speaker 4: A lot faster I was.
- 1:28:29Speaker 14: I was, I had I had put like this, And
- 1:28:34Speaker 14: when I was in safety, I had four picks in
- 1:28:36Speaker 14: the first four games and never got the ball through
- 1:28:38Speaker 14: my side again.
- 1:28:40Speaker 4: Yeah for real, Jacob z is like, I was, like,
- 1:28:43Speaker 4: I was good.
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: You were one hundred and sixty pounds white kids dying.
- 1:28:48Speaker 4: No, But that's why I told him.
- 1:28:49Speaker 14: But that was that was funny because the dude wanted
- 1:28:51Speaker 14: me to play dB, and I'm like, I do not
- 1:28:52Speaker 14: see myself hitting these dudes on this level because I
- 1:28:56Speaker 14: wanted to do this. I wasn't wrapping up anyways. I
- 1:28:58Speaker 14: was just booming everybody any chance I could. But Alabama
- 1:29:02Speaker 14: came during basketball season, and actually he came coach Burtenburn's.
- 1:29:07Speaker 14: Actually he was just when my little brother last week,
- 1:29:09Speaker 14: my little brother goes to UAB. But he was just
- 1:29:12Speaker 14: he was like, man, I'm out here for somebody else.
- 1:29:15Speaker 14: He said, I'm not even here for you. He said,
- 1:29:19Speaker 14: some guy down the road actually mentioned your name, and
- 1:29:22Speaker 14: so that's the reason why I'm here so he was like,
- 1:29:24Speaker 14: I'm only going to stay for like five ten minutes.
- 1:29:27Speaker 14: He watched me at basketball practice, so you know when
- 1:29:29Speaker 14: I see him come in, he got all the rings on.
- 1:29:31Speaker 14: He come in with Alabama. I'm like, oh yeah, so
- 1:29:34Speaker 14: you know I'm trying hard. I go dunk the ball
- 1:29:37Speaker 14: like I'm looking over every time. You know, I'm like,
- 1:29:40Speaker 14: I'm trying down. So then he ended up leaving and
- 1:29:44Speaker 14: he came back like ten minutes later. He end up
- 1:29:46Speaker 14: staying for two hours. Me and him just sat down
- 1:29:48Speaker 14: and he was talking for two hours, and he was like, man,
- 1:29:51Speaker 14: I be honest with you, Like we're really done with
- 1:29:53Speaker 14: our recruiting, he said. But one guy that was like,
- 1:29:56Speaker 14: we're trying to recruit. We're still waiting to see if
- 1:29:59Speaker 14: he can even make it because his grades like academics,
- 1:30:01Speaker 14: he was struggling to get in. So like literally like
- 1:30:05Speaker 14: the day that I went to sign, that's when I
- 1:30:08Speaker 14: found out that I could even go to Alabama because
- 1:30:11Speaker 14: they called me right before and was like, yeah, he
- 1:30:13Speaker 14: didn't make it.
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: What was your game plan? If Alabama doesn't call, I.
- 1:30:16Speaker 14: Was gonna go to missou Jew saw me.
- 1:30:21Speaker 4: That's a crazy thing. Wing up.
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: Day He's.
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: Suicide watching right now, the coaching sets in the war
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: room like, hey, he's gonna committee's gonna get.
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: What happened in Alabama Because I had a visit.
- 1:30:38Speaker 14: Drew Lot showed me around and I'm like, I'm like,
- 1:30:41Speaker 14: I don't know. This is different was you know, different
- 1:30:43Speaker 14: than anything I've ever seen. I'm like, they got landscaping.
- 1:30:46Speaker 14: I have never seen landscape.
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: Shout at Columbia Missouri landscaping. I'm like, man, this is
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: good business school, good grade business school.
- 1:30:56Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:30:56Speaker 14: And then and then bad was like so I took
- 1:30:59Speaker 14: a parcel. So that was my only two visits with
- 1:31:01Speaker 14: Miszoo and Bama, but I took a partial. But I
- 1:31:04Speaker 14: went to Bama and I was like, the first thing
- 1:31:06Speaker 14: I seen was a group of girls.
- 1:31:08Speaker 4: I was like yeah. I was like, yeah, I think
- 1:31:12Speaker 4: this is gonna be for me.
- 1:31:13Speaker 14: And then Jalen Hurst was actually the one that saw
- 1:31:16Speaker 14: me around because he was early in Roly, so like
- 1:31:19Speaker 14: he had saw me around.
- 1:31:20Speaker 4: I was like, okay, like I think this is the
- 1:31:22Speaker 4: spot to be dude.
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: What was Jalen Hurts's mentality when you were around him?
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: Is it what you see now or is he a
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: little a little more young and immature.
- 1:31:30Speaker 5: Bro.
- 1:31:30Speaker 4: He's always been that way. Way when he had dread,
- 1:31:33Speaker 4: he had.
- 1:31:34Speaker 14: Dreads, so when I came in, he had dreads And
- 1:31:38Speaker 14: he's always been like that.
- 1:31:39Speaker 4: But like he's he's funnier and goofier than people think.
- 1:31:42Speaker 14: Like he don't act like in the media like, but
- 1:31:44Speaker 14: in that locker room like he is, like he's he's
- 1:31:47Speaker 14: a guy.
- 1:31:47Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. But he's always been like like.
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: Just like that, constantly just putting out amazing quotes Saving Saving.
- 1:31:55Speaker 4: He got them quotes from Saving.
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: That he got some of his own things.
- 1:32:05Speaker 14: So you got to also think that his dad was
- 1:32:07Speaker 14: a coach, so you can think he was been being
- 1:32:10Speaker 14: trained this way his whole life, you know. But Saving,
- 1:32:14Speaker 14: he is the first that I've ever seen like have
- 1:32:18Speaker 14: a quote for everything in life literally and to have
- 1:32:21Speaker 14: it all throughout the building, Like he got to send
- 1:32:23Speaker 14: for like literally everything. I'm not even playing like, but
- 1:32:26Speaker 14: Saving he's just one of them dudes that he's so different.
- 1:32:29Speaker 14: The way he thinks, the way that he prepares, the
- 1:32:32Speaker 14: way that he like goes about his business on a
- 1:32:35Speaker 14: day to day basis every I've never seen somebody in
- 1:32:38Speaker 14: my life where everything is so structured and calculated like
- 1:32:41Speaker 14: he like if I eat at three o'clock, he eating
- 1:32:43Speaker 14: at three o'clock every day, and if he eat a
- 1:32:45Speaker 14: thrill too, somebody getting cused out like it was like
- 1:32:48Speaker 14: literally like different ball, Like he was just different, bro.
- 1:32:51Speaker 14: But that's what made me understand like why he's so
- 1:32:55Speaker 14: special and why he is who he is because he
- 1:32:57Speaker 14: does things that nobody else would do.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: For real, when you go from having twelve hundred yards
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: and four games all these crazy things, you end up
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: going to Alabama your first time walking in that locker room,
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: and Alabama at this point is like there's first rounders.
- 1:33:10Speaker 2: Every year, grown men, grown men.
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, were you like maybe this is not for
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: at any point where we're like maybe this is not
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: for me.
- 1:33:17Speaker 14: The only time I was like maybe this is not
- 1:33:18Speaker 14: for me was when we was working out because I'm
- 1:33:21Speaker 14: like what.
- 1:33:21Speaker 4: The I'm like, did I come to run track? I'm like,
- 1:33:24Speaker 4: did I come to run track? Or did I come
- 1:33:26Speaker 4: to play football?
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: Like trying to kill you like that, bro.
- 1:33:29Speaker 4: One teens.
- 1:33:30Speaker 14: We had a minimum seventeen one teens every time we
- 1:33:34Speaker 14: ran them. We ran them once every.
- 1:33:35Speaker 2: Week, seventeen one tens every.
- 1:33:37Speaker 4: Week, every minimum that's if everybody make their time.
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: What was the speed group time?
- 1:33:44Speaker 14: What it was like, I think it was either it
- 1:33:48Speaker 14: was thirteen, it was thirteen fourteen fifteen.
- 1:33:52Speaker 4: Skills in thirteen it was that's insanely.
- 1:33:56Speaker 14: But I'm telling you, bro, you had to run. You
- 1:33:58Speaker 14: have to run eighty percent of speed to make it
- 1:34:00Speaker 14: on time. I swear every people passing out everything, throwing
- 1:34:06Speaker 14: up like.
- 1:34:06Speaker 4: You in the weight room.
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: You were like, Okay, this is fun. I can live
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: to wait.
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: They had to teach me how to wait, how to live.
- 1:34:11Speaker 4: I never lived in college. I high school.
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: You were as green as they came. Bro.
- 1:34:15Speaker 4: I just still don't know power clean to this day,
- 1:34:19Speaker 4: like I cannot do it, like I swear.
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: So like that is wid That's how you put on
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: the thirty quick literally literally, I'm like, man, so y'all
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: get all this food.
- 1:34:31Speaker 14: And that's the best part. The food, eating three or
- 1:34:35Speaker 14: four times a day. From eating one meal a day
- 1:34:37Speaker 14: to eating three four full course meals a day. It's different.
- 1:34:40Speaker 14: Like Bama, bro, you we used to go in there.
- 1:34:42Speaker 14: We had King crab, this big like.
- 1:34:46Speaker 4: Steak weak you get you damned order a steak every day?
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: And I know you too. You probably bringing home to
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: go boxes.
- 1:34:53Speaker 14: Yes, and you got to go boxes everything else. Bro,
- 1:34:56Speaker 14: I'm telling you it was eating this stuff was good.
- 1:34:59Speaker 14: But my mental coming in though, like I was small
- 1:35:03Speaker 14: and I didn't know nobody, so obviously it was like
- 1:35:05Speaker 14: it was like a culture shock for me.
- 1:35:08Speaker 4: So I was just quiet. But I was always used
- 1:35:10Speaker 4: to just work.
- 1:35:11Speaker 14: So like after like the you know, you get over
- 1:35:13Speaker 14: there like weeks two weeks, you soar.
- 1:35:15Speaker 4: From like you know, doing that type of stuff. You
- 1:35:17Speaker 4: kind of get acclimated.
- 1:35:18Speaker 14: And then I remember, you know, in the summers, the
- 1:35:22Speaker 14: coaches can't coach you, so like we'd have like individual
- 1:35:26Speaker 14: like not individual, but team ran like seven on sevens
- 1:35:28Speaker 14: and shit like that.
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: Team ran seven and seven was seventeen out.
- 1:35:32Speaker 4: There is that exactly?
- 1:35:33Speaker 14: And every so they got a balconies that overlooks the field.
- 1:35:38Speaker 14: They used to just sit in the balconies and watch
- 1:35:40Speaker 14: us basically, but like I remember, like everybody used.
- 1:35:45Speaker 4: To come up to me and was like, who is
- 1:35:47Speaker 4: this little dude with the fro? Because I came in
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: I had a fro. They're like, they're like, who is
- 1:35:51Speaker 4: the little dude from the fro? They used to call me.
- 1:35:55Speaker 14: The little boy from across the street. It was like,
- 1:36:02Speaker 14: who is this dude? They was like, nobody's heard of you.
- 1:36:04Speaker 14: Like when I came in, there was like, bro, we
- 1:36:05Speaker 14: know no, none of us know you are. But like
- 1:36:07Speaker 14: I just consistently kept making plays like consistently. Like then
- 1:36:10Speaker 14: we had a camp practice. I'm with the tools, so
- 1:36:14Speaker 14: I'm going against the ones. So like I'm like, damn,
- 1:36:17Speaker 14: like we scrimmaging, I'm going against the ones. I'm the
- 1:36:19Speaker 14: only person to score at the running backs the whole day.
- 1:36:22Speaker 14: So they was like, whoever this little dude is, we
- 1:36:25Speaker 14: might like he might be nice. And then it got
- 1:36:27Speaker 14: to the point where other players, the veteran players like
- 1:36:30Speaker 14: Ruben Foster dron Pain started coming up to me. Was like, bro,
- 1:36:34Speaker 14: like you you're gonna be good, Like you're gonna be special,
- 1:36:36Speaker 14: like and then when I start having all the vets,
- 1:36:38Speaker 14: like I feel like believe in me, that's when I
- 1:36:41Speaker 14: was like, Okay, I could do this shit for real.
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: Foster would even menace monster on the field.
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: That whole entire roster was just insane.
- 1:36:51Speaker 14: But the whole defense my freshman year got drafted or
- 1:36:54Speaker 14: played in the league at some point, Like you gotta
- 1:36:56Speaker 14: think Marlin Eddie Jackson, Rubens MS, you got dron Payin,
- 1:37:02Speaker 14: you got you got all of these, like bro we was.
- 1:37:06Speaker 14: It was a deep like Marlon Humphrey leave all Wallace
- 1:37:10Speaker 14: on the other side. I'm like, yeah, that that's what
- 1:37:12Speaker 14: really I feel like prepared me because going against them
- 1:37:15Speaker 14: type of that type of caliber, like either you're gonna
- 1:37:17Speaker 14: figure it out or you're gonna be like this is
- 1:37:19Speaker 14: not for me.
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: How much that like structure around, like Saban's culture help
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: you in the NFL, because as you know, it's way
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: different when you get to the NFL.
- 1:37:26Speaker 14: Yeah, So I'm gonna tell you the main, main, main
- 1:37:29Speaker 14: reason why I signed with Alabama. When I went to
- 1:37:33Speaker 14: Missou and they found out that I was only gonna
- 1:37:35Speaker 14: stay for a parcel or the time to take half
- 1:37:37Speaker 14: of the time to go because it was the last
- 1:37:38Speaker 14: recruiting weekend. Because I was so late, you know, to
- 1:37:41Speaker 14: be able to go to go there, they made a
- 1:37:44Speaker 14: whole power point of how Bama is this and how
- 1:37:48Speaker 14: I wasn't gonna play there, like how my chances of
- 1:37:52Speaker 14: playing there was a very slim And then when I
- 1:37:54Speaker 14: went to Bama and I talked to Saban, we never
- 1:37:57Speaker 14: even talked about football. He just talked to me and
- 1:38:00Speaker 14: he was like, this is how I can help you
- 1:38:01Speaker 14: become a better man. This is how I can grow
- 1:38:04Speaker 14: your relationships and you know, grow you as a man.
- 1:38:07Speaker 14: And that's what Like I was like, Okay, that sold me.
- 1:38:10Speaker 14: Like that was enough for me because, like I said,
- 1:38:12Speaker 14: at that time, I'm not really too much thinking about
- 1:38:14Speaker 14: football because I'm like that's not really a real reality
- 1:38:18Speaker 14: for me. So I'm like, I want to be good.
- 1:38:20Speaker 14: I want to play, but like I want to go
- 1:38:22Speaker 14: to school, like I want to bail me figure it out.
- 1:38:25Speaker 14: So when he did that, I was like, yeah, like
- 1:38:28Speaker 14: he gonna be the person that really teach me and
- 1:38:30Speaker 14: like help me grow up and develop me and things
- 1:38:32Speaker 14: like that.
- 1:38:32Speaker 4: And that's why I end up choosing them.
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: So Bama was telling you how you your chances were
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: minimal or that.
- 1:38:37Speaker 14: Was was it's all about football. It wasn't about football
- 1:38:42Speaker 14: until they found out that I was going to take
- 1:38:44Speaker 14: half of the other uh you know.
- 1:38:47Speaker 4: Visit to see it about you. So then they like
- 1:38:49Speaker 4: when they started talking about one thing about Bama that.
- 1:38:52Speaker 2: I had, Okay, they showed a power point of you
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: not playing your chances of playing at Alabama R exactly.
- 1:38:57Speaker 4: And that's the thing. One thing I say.
- 1:38:59Speaker 14: Once I got that Alabama recognition, every school that came
- 1:39:03Speaker 14: to talk to me always brought them up. So I
- 1:39:06Speaker 14: was like, y'all just making me want to be play
- 1:39:08Speaker 14: there even more, Like y'all keep speaking on them. They
- 1:39:10Speaker 14: must be the top dog, like you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 1:39:12Speaker 14: I'm like, all right, Like so that's kind of how
- 1:39:14Speaker 14: it played out.
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: You kind of have to recruit like that. It's Alabama.
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: Yeah, but also it's like, damn, Alabama's the most competitive cats.
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: You want the cats that are like, yeah, I'm gonna
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: beat anybody anytime like that. Almost a delusional mindset essentially,
- 1:39:26Speaker 1: what you had right to make it in the NFL,
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: to make it Alabama, you have to have a delusional mindset.
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: So if you want those guys, why would you play
- 1:39:32Speaker 1: in the Alabama's favorite that way?
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: Because your point just want you. Literally, if I'm Missouri,
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: I'm just stroking you the whole.
- 1:39:39Speaker 4: Time, literally and telling me what you can do for me.
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: Right. We had all this, we had a great business school.
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: But football is gonna work out for you. You're gonna
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: play right away. We're gonna get you going.
- 1:39:47Speaker 4: It was even talking about let me.
- 1:39:49Speaker 5: Who it was for real.
- 1:39:51Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like, I was.
- 1:39:53Speaker 15: Like, all right, so it was Oklahoma ever in the
- 1:39:55Speaker 15: mix field? No, No, like you don't like Ocaho. No, No,
- 1:40:03Speaker 15: because it's.
- 1:40:04Speaker 4: Like, bro, I used to have Mike Stoops.
- 1:40:06Speaker 14: And them come to my games when I was in
- 1:40:07Speaker 14: Little League, like when I was fifth sixth grade. I
- 1:40:11Speaker 14: used to see them in the stands. You feel me, So,
- 1:40:13Speaker 14: I'm like, it's not like y'all didn't know who I was.
- 1:40:16Speaker 14: I've been like I've been that in football. You feel me. So,
- 1:40:19Speaker 14: I'm like when they got to college, I'm like, I
- 1:40:23Speaker 14: gotta I got a total university.
- 1:40:25Speaker 4: It's fifteen minutes.
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: From my house.
- 1:40:26Speaker 4: Didn't even get an offer from them.
- 1:40:28Speaker 14: You feel me so, Like when you came after these schools,
- 1:40:31Speaker 14: I felt disrespected. Y'all closer to me, Yo, Oklahoma is
- 1:40:34Speaker 14: an hour, hour and some change away. Oklahoma State is
- 1:40:37Speaker 14: forty five minutes away.
- 1:40:38Speaker 4: You've ben me. So I'm like, I don't got offers
- 1:40:39Speaker 4: from y'all. Like, I'm like, nah, I'm not stall some
- 1:40:42Speaker 4: type of way. Yeah, I felt some type of way.
- 1:40:44Speaker 14: Sure, that's why when we played them, I was on
- 1:40:46Speaker 14: the ass. But but funny story about that is when
- 1:40:53Speaker 14: I went to the draft, Bob Stoops was the first
- 1:40:56Speaker 14: one to come up to me when we was in
- 1:40:57Speaker 14: the meeting room and he was just like, man, I
- 1:41:00Speaker 14: love your game. Here he was when Lincoln Riley he
- 1:41:02Speaker 14: was like, I love your game. He's like, man, he
- 1:41:04Speaker 14: was like, you changed my whole perspective on looking that way.
- 1:41:09Speaker 14: But I'm telling you after I got recruited, but I
- 1:41:11Speaker 14: had coaches telling me, you know we are we're committed
- 1:41:15Speaker 14: to never missing a dominant rough again.
- 1:41:17Speaker 4: After I got community.
- 1:41:18Speaker 14: Uh, after I committed and went to university, the next
- 1:41:22Speaker 14: two to three classes, Bro, we had the more people
- 1:41:24Speaker 14: going leaving out of Oklahoma than we ever had like
- 1:41:26Speaker 14: the last decade.
- 1:41:28Speaker 4: You feel me so like it played out and worked
- 1:41:31Speaker 4: out I was supposed to.
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: That was nice to hear.
- 1:41:33Speaker 4: Yeah it was. I was like, I was like that
- 1:41:35Speaker 4: I needed.
- 1:41:38Speaker 2: What was it like going from a saving to coach Crwdon.
- 1:41:43Speaker 4: Complete different, complete opposites. You know, you know Grew. I
- 1:41:46Speaker 4: love Grew, love Grew.
- 1:41:49Speaker 14: He is so like charismatic and so like like everything
- 1:41:54Speaker 14: he does he just does it with energy. We be
- 1:41:56Speaker 14: in the meetings and like he's one of them. Coaches
- 1:41:58Speaker 14: where we and me and you can know somebody messed
- 1:42:01Speaker 14: up and you'd be like, get on his ass. He
- 1:42:03Speaker 14: messed up, and he like he gonna praise you when
- 1:42:05Speaker 14: he gonna coach you. He not gonna really too much
- 1:42:08Speaker 14: get on you like in that sense, you know. And
- 1:42:10Speaker 14: that was the thing that I used to like as
- 1:42:12Speaker 14: a young guy coming in. You know, you nervous, you
- 1:42:14Speaker 14: around all these vets and things like that, and you
- 1:42:16Speaker 14: like he gave me, you know what I'm saying, grace
- 1:42:19Speaker 14: And I love playing for him, man Like he to
- 1:42:22Speaker 14: me as a player's coach. He go out his way
- 1:42:24Speaker 14: to you know, help guys all the time, whether it
- 1:42:26Speaker 14: was on the field or off the field.
- 1:42:28Speaker 4: And it was like it was it was fun for me. Man.
- 1:42:30Speaker 4: I love grew to this day. I still love grow.
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: You felt like it was the same for you, Like
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: going from college to the NFL. Like I've told the
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: story before, Rahie Morris, where I like miss a tackle
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: and I came on the sideline thinking like Coach Polini Nebraska,
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: like you're getting cussed out, Like you have this anxiety
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: or fear in your mind to like not mess up
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: on the field. Then when you did, you you heard
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: about it. But in the NFL, I felt like it
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: was you had like this grace to where they'd be like, hey,
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: if you're gonna missmiss on the inside, shut and I'm thinking,
- 1:42:56Speaker 2: oh fuck, I missed a tack on there, kind of
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: patting me like, hey, next time happens, like just if
- 1:43:01Speaker 2: you missmiss on this side.
- 1:43:02Speaker 1: And we had completely different experiences. College was like once
- 1:43:06Speaker 1: I got to my senior year, like the I could
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: do no wrong, like if I messed up the coach,
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: you know what you did right, And I was like, yeah,
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: I did this wrong. I'm like, all right, you can
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: fix that. When I got to the NFL, I was
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: Ken wizen Hunt's first draft pick, so I was like
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: his little like his little darling.
- 1:43:19Speaker 4: His little baby.
- 1:43:21Speaker 1: He would baby me a bunch. But Bob Bosta at
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: the offensive line coach, any misstep, footwork anything, he was
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: on my ass like like freshman in college.
- 1:43:28Speaker 4: See that's how my physician coach. Really But we was
- 1:43:31Speaker 4: cool though.
- 1:43:32Speaker 14: But that's the thing, like I feel like it's different
- 1:43:35Speaker 14: when you respect somebody and you feel like they come
- 1:43:37Speaker 14: into you at like you know, at a place of respect.
- 1:43:40Speaker 14: But he was only like that, like footwork because I'm like,
- 1:43:42Speaker 14: even in college, obviously you learned, you know, schemes and
- 1:43:46Speaker 14: things like that, but like I'm like, what do you
- 1:43:48Speaker 14: mean you want me to do this footwork? I'm like,
- 1:43:50Speaker 14: I'm used to this footwork. Like I feel like I'm
- 1:43:52Speaker 14: out of place doing the style that you want. And
- 1:43:56Speaker 14: like that was something that I had to That was
- 1:43:58Speaker 14: probably the biggest learning curve that I had to do,
- 1:44:00Speaker 14: was just like get comfortable in the system that they
- 1:44:03Speaker 14: wanted me to play, you know. But that was even
- 1:44:06Speaker 14: like I remember one time I was I was going
- 1:44:09Speaker 14: into it with him with Kirby, and he was like, man,
- 1:44:13Speaker 14: I've coached this guy, this guy, and this guy he
- 1:44:16Speaker 14: got the calling people like work done and all that.
- 1:44:18Speaker 14: I'm like, okay, I'm like, here's some mythic, it's some method.
- 1:44:22Speaker 14: And then literally, when I felt like I trusted and
- 1:44:24Speaker 14: believed in what he was telling me, like I just
- 1:44:26Speaker 14: started taking off.
- 1:44:28Speaker 1: Man, this is crazy off. Much like respect, how far
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: respect goes with coaches, because there is always I have
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: like an issue with authority where it's like if coaches
- 1:44:35Speaker 1: comes at me right away, I tend to step back
- 1:44:37Speaker 1: a little bit. But once the respect is there, it's like,
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: I'll basically die for you whatever you need me to do.
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: I'm literally for you. When you walk into Oakland, I
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: mean obviously the facilities are way different. They're about to
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: move to Vegas. There was a Bama. We've been to Bama.
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: It was like walking into a locker room with guys
- 1:44:55Speaker 1: like Richie Incognito, Max Crosby, Antonio Brown, and like Derek Carr,
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: who's like this like perfect little choir boy. Like was
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: that just a massive culture shark for you? And You're
- 1:45:05Speaker 1: think to yourself, the taxes calfln your ass. I just
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: want to bring that up too.
- 1:45:08Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I defer my I defer my signing motives.
- 1:45:10Speaker 4: So we got the Vegas but.
- 1:45:14Speaker 14: Yeah, real, but nah man, they when I came in,
- 1:45:20Speaker 14: it was weird because like we had older Vets, but
- 1:45:23Speaker 14: we had Vets that was like older that wasn't like
- 1:45:25Speaker 14: they're literally at the back end or their career. So
- 1:45:28Speaker 14: it was like they was good but not not really
- 1:45:32Speaker 14: so like and then I feel like for me, people
- 1:45:36Speaker 14: was on me harder because I was the first round pick.
- 1:45:39Speaker 14: So like some people were like, you know you, like
- 1:45:41Speaker 14: you're gonna have to prove yourself, like I'm like, all right, whatever,
- 1:45:44Speaker 14: like you know what I'm saying, like all over again.
- 1:45:47Speaker 14: Max looked like, what's the dude off of Harry Potter?
- 1:45:54Speaker 14: Like now boy at the time, you know, hey, that's
- 1:45:59Speaker 14: my dog.
- 1:45:59Speaker 4: I let you Max hang No, but men, So, like
- 1:46:03Speaker 4: I would say, the best thing for me was all
- 1:46:05Speaker 4: rookie class.
- 1:46:05Speaker 14: Everybody came in Max. You know some of these other
- 1:46:08Speaker 14: guys that's not that's not on the tea or not
- 1:46:10Speaker 14: in the league.
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: No more.
- 1:46:11Speaker 14: We was all tight, you know, Keishan Nixon. We was
- 1:46:14Speaker 14: all tight and so like we used to always do
- 1:46:16Speaker 14: stuff together.
- 1:46:17Speaker 4: And I feel like that made.
- 1:46:18Speaker 14: It a lot easier my rookie year to like get
- 1:46:21Speaker 14: acclimated with everything because you know, in the pros, people
- 1:46:23Speaker 14: don't understand, like they think everybody's just friends, and like
- 1:46:27Speaker 14: in the pros, it's just like this is not true.
- 1:46:29Speaker 1: Like I said, that was the craziest difference for me.
- 1:46:31Speaker 14: Yeah, like college, you know, everybody's friends, Like we all
- 1:46:33Speaker 14: friends in college, Like in pros, it's not like for
- 1:46:36Speaker 14: some people, this is literally a job. And for a
- 1:46:38Speaker 14: lot of people they have families, so like, you know,
- 1:46:40Speaker 14: you leaving here them like man, I gotta go home.
- 1:46:42Speaker 4: And rate to be a dad, Like I can't go
- 1:46:45Speaker 4: home and play video games with you, like you know
- 1:46:47Speaker 4: what I'm saying, like things like that.
- 1:46:49Speaker 14: So that was like a big, big difference for me too.
- 1:46:53Speaker 14: But man, that locker room then was definitely different. I
- 1:46:57Speaker 14: remember my first like all all moment was I remember
- 1:47:01Speaker 14: we lost the game and I was in the locker
- 1:47:04Speaker 14: mad because like you know, a ba at Bama probably
- 1:47:06Speaker 14: lost three maybe four games in three years I was there.
- 1:47:10Speaker 4: So I'm like, I'm used to winning.
- 1:47:13Speaker 14: So I'm in the locker room mad, and I remember
- 1:47:14Speaker 14: the Evans came up to me like they laughing and shit,
- 1:47:16Speaker 14: and I'm like, the fuck they'll laughing.
- 1:47:18Speaker 4: For us, So I take it. I get mad, you
- 1:47:20Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like what I got going on.
- 1:47:22Speaker 14: They're like, man, you're gonna learn like in this league,
- 1:47:25Speaker 14: you're gonna lose like you not. You gotta get used
- 1:47:28Speaker 14: to all these other kind of stuff. But I was
- 1:47:29Speaker 14: like that like mentality. I remember, I was like, we're
- 1:47:33Speaker 14: not gonna ever win like that. If people don't take
- 1:47:35Speaker 14: this a little more personal. It's one thing to not
- 1:47:38Speaker 14: obviously be crying after the game, but like don't be
- 1:47:41Speaker 14: sitting acting like around like you like you happy that
- 1:47:44Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying that we lost, like that
- 1:47:46Speaker 14: was always a thing. But I was always one of
- 1:47:49Speaker 14: them guys too that I felt like, I mean, you
- 1:47:50Speaker 14: played with me I always every day, I'm trying to
- 1:47:53Speaker 14: bust my ass every day. I'm trying to I be
- 1:47:55Speaker 14: the if not the hardest worker, top three, you know,
- 1:47:58Speaker 14: and I'm trying to like figure it out every day.
- 1:48:01Speaker 14: So like when somebody did stuff like that, it just
- 1:48:04Speaker 14: it wasn't respect it for me.
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: And that's he's not lying. Josh would be visually pissed
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: off after games. I remember the second stint we came
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: and you know, the boys wanted to go on the
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: logo with the Chiefs and we got our ass whooped.
- 1:48:19Speaker 2: Come on and Josh is in the locker room after
- 1:48:21Speaker 2: the game, fu me about like, you know, whether guys
- 1:48:24Speaker 2: are happy about it? But he was, Yeah, he legitimately
- 1:48:27Speaker 2: gets pissed off anytime. Anytime that we lost, he'd be
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: asking guys. He'd be talking to guys like he pulled meself,
- 1:48:33Speaker 2: like hey, you just got her, Like what are you
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: seeing right now? You'll be asking guys that He'd be
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: like pulling everybody see the.
- 1:48:39Speaker 14: Problem with me. Well, let's first let me get to
- 1:48:41Speaker 14: logo question. I told him to not do that. Shit
- 1:48:43Speaker 14: is dumb. We are their step brothers, We're the little
- 1:48:46Speaker 14: We're the little brother at that point. We ain't beat
- 1:48:48Speaker 14: them enough to deserve that right.
- 1:48:50Speaker 4: We ain't.
- 1:48:50Speaker 14: We're not even winning enough to deserve that right to
- 1:48:53Speaker 14: go do that. You know what I'm saying, Like it
- 1:48:54Speaker 14: was dumb. I always I remember what I said exactly
- 1:48:57Speaker 14: because I didn't go do it. I was the old
- 1:48:59Speaker 14: I'll stayed. I'm like, they're not gonna catch me on
- 1:49:01Speaker 14: that motheruing logo and.
- 1:49:02Speaker 4: Then we lose, and this everywhere we lose, it was
- 1:49:06Speaker 4: will Is in the middle. Yeah I was in the middle.
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: I wasn't.
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: But who was Amber?
- 1:49:10Speaker 4: I told everybody it was Yanick. He didn't want to.
- 1:49:14Speaker 1: Start has that mentality and a working.
- 1:49:19Speaker 4: Started.
- 1:49:20Speaker 9: He did.
- 1:49:21Speaker 4: He getting everybody, and I'm thinking everybody should do it.
- 1:49:23Speaker 4: But I told him.
- 1:49:24Speaker 14: I was like my Zach words was if y'all gonna
- 1:49:27Speaker 14: do better, stand on that ship. I'm like, we better
- 1:49:29Speaker 14: win literally because you can't do it like that.
- 1:49:31Speaker 4: And I scored that.
- 1:49:32Speaker 2: Game and we got we got blue out.
- 1:49:34Speaker 4: We got blue out. I said, well, never I brought.
- 1:49:37Speaker 4: I was hot in the locker room. I was hot.
- 1:49:40Speaker 4: But no, they go back to his points when I
- 1:49:41Speaker 4: first came back, and I'm thinking, ship, oh, we're not good.
- 1:49:45Speaker 4: Uniforms are good, We're not uniforms sick.
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: You best uniforms the sick awesome. But hey, Yannick and
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: Doc Way, I have no idea why that dude has
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: not like stuck with the team for a long time
- 1:49:57Speaker 1: because his rookie year I played him. The first time
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: we played him was Thursday night in Nissan and his
- 1:50:02Speaker 1: attitude of mentality, like he was talking to me like
- 1:50:04Speaker 1: he was in the league for ten years.
- 1:50:06Speaker 4: He got he's got, Yeah, he's got.
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: And then Patrick Omama, who will played with the Michigan
- 1:50:09Speaker 1: he was playing for Jacksonville, came off. He's like that
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: kid works, he's gonna be good, and he obviously was.
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: He's a good football player. But he's just jumped around
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: so much.
- 1:50:17Speaker 14: You know, sometimes I think people can get in their
- 1:50:19Speaker 14: own way. There's no doubta, you know, and that'd be
- 1:50:22Speaker 14: a lot of things. And like sometimes you don't feel
- 1:50:25Speaker 14: like like you know with me, like towards the end,
- 1:50:28Speaker 14: like you say, I used.
- 1:50:29Speaker 4: To ask him I'm like, we came in. I'm like,
- 1:50:32Speaker 4: what do you see?
- 1:50:33Speaker 14: Because I was fully committed to trying to make the
- 1:50:35Speaker 14: team better, you know what I'm saying. I'm like, and
- 1:50:37Speaker 14: I'm trying everything from talking to people I wouldn't even
- 1:50:40Speaker 14: talk to, you know what I'm saying, From coaching more
- 1:50:43Speaker 14: than I've ever coached, to like being a leader and
- 1:50:46Speaker 14: things like that, like trying to lead by example all
- 1:50:48Speaker 14: of these things. And I'm like, bro, it ain't nothing.
- 1:50:51Speaker 14: It don't feel like nothing is changing, you know what
- 1:50:53Speaker 14: I'm saying. So I'm like I used to ask Hi
- 1:50:54Speaker 14: when we got a guy in. I'm like, but what
- 1:50:56Speaker 14: do you see? You've been on winning programs, You've been
- 1:50:58Speaker 14: in you know what I'm saying, You've been on good teams.
- 1:51:00Speaker 14: Like what's the difference? And like you say, I used
- 1:51:03Speaker 14: to pat that game. I was so mad after that game.
- 1:51:06Speaker 14: But I feel like I feel like I cussed out
- 1:51:09Speaker 14: some people like bro, like, but I was always the
- 1:51:12Speaker 14: guy that like, I don't mind making people uncomfortable because
- 1:51:16Speaker 14: I feel like, one, if I'm doing if I'm doing
- 1:51:19Speaker 14: everything right, I got that right.
- 1:51:21Speaker 5: One.
- 1:51:22Speaker 14: Two you should know that I care about you and
- 1:51:24Speaker 14: love you enough and respect you enough to know that
- 1:51:26Speaker 14: I'm not attacking you. I'm coming at you from a
- 1:51:28Speaker 14: good place. And it's also a time and place for everything.
- 1:51:31Speaker 14: Don't get me wrong, But like wanting to win and
- 1:51:35Speaker 14: wanting to fix that organization, I was all in. So
- 1:51:39Speaker 14: when I started to feel like the organization wasn't all
- 1:51:42Speaker 14: in on the same things that I wanted to that's
- 1:51:45Speaker 14: when I know I have to leave.
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: How hard was it to leave the Raiders?
- 1:51:49Speaker 4: Why I never wanted to bro Bro?
- 1:51:52Speaker 14: I spent a lot of money on a house I built,
- 1:51:56Speaker 14: custom fully, custom built.
- 1:51:58Speaker 4: And never stayed in. Like, so you gotta you gotta
- 1:52:01Speaker 4: know I was investing.
- 1:52:02Speaker 14: I was investing there. I was doing franchises. Like you
- 1:52:05Speaker 14: know what I'm saying, I'm in the community, I'm doing
- 1:52:07Speaker 14: work in the community, everything, Like I'm thinking, like, okay,
- 1:52:10Speaker 14: like this is where I'm gonna be, Like I'm playing
- 1:52:12Speaker 14: in everything there, you know what I'm saying. But like
- 1:52:15Speaker 14: it gets to a certain point where you're not gonna
- 1:52:19Speaker 14: keep disrespecting me. You only got so many times to
- 1:52:22Speaker 14: be like fuck you before I'm like fuck you too.
- 1:52:24Speaker 14: You feel me like literally like and that's how I
- 1:52:26Speaker 14: felt about it, Cause it's like, Okay, don't get me wrong,
- 1:52:29Speaker 14: I have a great relationship with Mark Davis. I love
- 1:52:31Speaker 14: Mark Davis. Has nothing to do with Mark Davis. But
- 1:52:34Speaker 14: like you bringing in these coaches every other year, new coaches,
- 1:52:38Speaker 14: and it's like, now these new coaches is telling me
- 1:52:42Speaker 14: I didn't already have three a thousand yard seasons. You
- 1:52:44Speaker 14: telling me I gotta prove myself. Like, oh, like I'm
- 1:52:46Speaker 14: a rookie. You treating me like a rookie.
- 1:52:48Speaker 4: You're telling now I got to play in the Hall
- 1:52:50Speaker 4: of Fame game.
- 1:52:51Speaker 14: And then we start losing, and then you feel like
- 1:52:55Speaker 14: you need me, and then you play me. I'll play good,
- 1:52:58Speaker 14: but then afterwards you basically like, yeah, you played good,
- 1:53:01Speaker 14: but you're gonna we'rerunna fresh time A tag him you
- 1:53:04Speaker 14: we're going to play. And I looked at him and
- 1:53:07Speaker 14: I'm like, I'm not gonna play. And where he was
- 1:53:11Speaker 14: going wrong was where he was going wrong was he
- 1:53:15Speaker 14: was talking too much. And I'm not gonna say who
- 1:53:17Speaker 14: it was, but it's a guy to make decisions. And
- 1:53:20Speaker 14: I'm like, he's talking too much and thinking it's not
- 1:53:21Speaker 14: gonna get back to me, and everything is getting back
- 1:53:24Speaker 14: to me, you know what. I'm saying, so I'm knowing
- 1:53:26Speaker 14: what's being said on the inside for real, you feel me?
- 1:53:29Speaker 4: So like he's basically like, oh yeah, he needs.
- 1:53:32Speaker 14: The money's I'm like, I don't need no money, Like
- 1:53:35Speaker 14: I could quit playing right now. I'm great, Like you
- 1:53:37Speaker 14: feel me. So I'm like, where are you getting this
- 1:53:40Speaker 14: information from? Like why do you think that you got
- 1:53:42Speaker 14: the leverage when I just let the NFL and everything
- 1:53:46Speaker 14: there is for a running back. I'm like, so you're
- 1:53:49Speaker 14: telling me, Okay, I'm only gonna be twenty five at
- 1:53:52Speaker 14: the time.
- 1:53:52Speaker 4: You're telling me like, I can't get paid, so.
- 1:53:54Speaker 14: You already deny my fifth your option, which was the
- 1:53:57Speaker 14: smartest move you should have made was to accept that
- 1:54:00Speaker 14: you feel me.
- 1:54:00Speaker 4: But you don't do that, and then you're like, oh, we're.
- 1:54:04Speaker 14: Gonna franchise tag you, and the franchise tag is two
- 1:54:06Speaker 14: million more, so you're gonna play on.
- 1:54:08Speaker 4: The franchise SAG.
- 1:54:09Speaker 14: But whole time, Bro and my mom, me and my agent,
- 1:54:12Speaker 14: we like, by not playing, I'm gonna come week eight,
- 1:54:16Speaker 14: week eight so I can get credit this season and
- 1:54:19Speaker 14: basically force my way out.
- 1:54:21Speaker 4: That's what that was my That was my planning. If
- 1:54:23Speaker 4: they don't want to pay me.
- 1:54:24Speaker 2: Was the first fracturing of the relationship was when they
- 1:54:26Speaker 2: didn't pick up the fifth year option.
- 1:54:28Speaker 14: I didn't really care about the fifth year option. So
- 1:54:30Speaker 14: a lot of people think that that was the problem.
- 1:54:33Speaker 14: I didn't want them to take the fifth years because
- 1:54:34Speaker 14: I knew I was gonna get.
- 1:54:35Speaker 4: Paid more than that. I wanted them to pay.
- 1:54:37Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm like, it's benefited me by not picking up
- 1:54:40Speaker 14: the fifth year option.
- 1:54:41Speaker 4: Like I'm all for that, you know what I'm saying.
- 1:54:43Speaker 14: Like, I'm like, cool, Like I'm good with that, but
- 1:54:45Speaker 14: like it was just the fact that I was legitimately
- 1:54:50Speaker 14: sixty five percent of the offense that year and you're
- 1:54:53Speaker 14: telling me that you will not pay the guy that
- 1:54:56Speaker 14: did everything for the team.
- 1:54:58Speaker 4: I'm like, how did that make sense? You know what
- 1:55:00Speaker 4: I'm saying.
- 1:55:01Speaker 14: It's like, basically, you already tried me at the beginning,
- 1:55:03Speaker 14: so you're already trying to be cool with me, but
- 1:55:05Speaker 14: I'm already really don't.
- 1:55:06Speaker 4: Like you, you know what I'm saying.
- 1:55:08Speaker 14: But like it's a business, You're not gonna like everybody
- 1:55:10Speaker 14: you feel me like, and so I'm already like, you
- 1:55:13Speaker 14: know what I'm saying, I'm gonna respect you. I'm not
- 1:55:14Speaker 14: gonna disrespect you and stuff like that, but like I'm
- 1:55:16Speaker 14: gonna be like, yeah, if I got a option, I'm
- 1:55:19Speaker 14: not gonna fuck with you.
- 1:55:20Speaker 4: Like you know what I'm saying. So that's basically what
- 1:55:23Speaker 4: it came down to.
- 1:55:24Speaker 14: And when it started to get like I say, into
- 1:55:27Speaker 14: the conversation, what made it worse?
- 1:55:29Speaker 4: Bro?
- 1:55:30Speaker 14: When it comes to the Raiders Bro, And it really
- 1:55:32Speaker 14: hurt my heart because I try to stay. I did
- 1:55:34Speaker 14: everything in my power to stay. My agent was even
- 1:55:37Speaker 14: getting he was getting mad at me because he like, Bro,
- 1:55:39Speaker 14: at what point are you gonna be like fuck these dudes?
- 1:55:42Speaker 14: Because I'm like, look, I got six teams talking to
- 1:55:47Speaker 14: me about more more money than you.
- 1:55:49Speaker 4: I'm like, can you match that? They say no.
- 1:55:51Speaker 14: I said, okay, that's fine. I'm like, can we meet
- 1:55:54Speaker 14: in the middle. Can we get the median of that?
- 1:55:55Speaker 4: They say no. I say okay, because that was offering
- 1:55:59Speaker 4: me ten years. I'm like, okay, ten a year.
- 1:56:00Speaker 14: I'm like, cool, Can I get some The Raiders were
- 1:56:02Speaker 14: off the Raiders was I was like, can I get
- 1:56:06Speaker 14: some incentives? I'm like, maybe I hit them, maybe I don't.
- 1:56:08Speaker 14: They said no. Once they said that, I said, we
- 1:56:10Speaker 14: ain't got none to talk about y'all, let me know
- 1:56:12Speaker 14: where I staying. And the crazy thing about it was
- 1:56:15Speaker 14: when I had a meeting with Mark Davis. I said
- 1:56:17Speaker 14: before when I was playing on sitting out because I
- 1:56:19Speaker 14: missed all the camp that last year I was there.
- 1:56:21Speaker 4: I missed all the camp.
- 1:56:22Speaker 1: When did your last year there?
- 1:56:25Speaker 4: What the year before this?
- 1:56:26Speaker 14: So what is that twenty twenty three, twenty three, twenty three?
- 1:56:29Speaker 4: The fifth right, yeah, the fifth year.
- 1:56:31Speaker 14: I missed all the camp because I'm like I said
- 1:56:33Speaker 14: on Mark, and I'm like, look, I'm not asking you
- 1:56:36Speaker 14: to pay me my work because you can't, like and
- 1:56:38Speaker 14: I know that's realistic, but like, just don't disrespect me.
- 1:56:41Speaker 14: That's literally all I asked. I'm like, bro, just don't
- 1:56:43Speaker 14: disrespect me. I was like, give me a deal. And
- 1:56:45Speaker 14: then the crazy part about it is none of the
- 1:56:48Speaker 14: deals was even long term deals.
- 1:56:50Speaker 4: Like I'm like, yeah, bro, we ain't got nothing to
- 1:56:52Speaker 4: talk about.
- 1:56:53Speaker 14: Like I got all these other teams, all these other
- 1:56:55Speaker 14: like you know, having disrespect and I'm keep trying to
- 1:56:57Speaker 14: come back to y'all and show y'all love and show
- 1:56:59Speaker 14: y'all respect, and it ain't reciprocated. So I'm like, we
- 1:57:02Speaker 14: don't really have too much to talk about it. And
- 1:57:03Speaker 14: then what's crazy is I fucking pull up?
- 1:57:09Speaker 4: This is crazy?
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: So this is this is two week one bro.
- 1:57:13Speaker 14: Before I came, when they were trying to get me
- 1:57:15Speaker 14: to come sign, you know, you got to you got
- 1:57:17Speaker 14: the deadline, right to sign the deadline. And before I
- 1:57:22Speaker 14: came to sign, Max, Me and Max on the phone.
- 1:57:25Speaker 14: He's Max trying to make it work, you know, like
- 1:57:27Speaker 14: obviously Max is a dude. He like, man, like I
- 1:57:30Speaker 14: don't understand it, like whatever. He was like, man, please
- 1:57:32Speaker 14: just come. So we come up there and we got
- 1:57:35Speaker 14: like an hour left before we got to sign the
- 1:57:36Speaker 14: paper or uh, you know, on a deal or not.
- 1:57:40Speaker 14: And dude comes up to my car. Me and Max
- 1:57:46Speaker 14: is in the car. Max in the car with me.
- 1:57:47Speaker 14: We sitting and he's talking to us, but while on
- 1:57:53Speaker 14: his phone. He don't but he's moving his phone around.
- 1:57:55Speaker 14: He's on the phone with an interviewer with a reporter,
- 1:58:00Speaker 14: literally on the phone with a reporter while he's talking to.
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: Me, trying to trying to get conversation out of you.
- 1:58:07Speaker 14: About so anytime that I know it's one report over
- 1:58:10Speaker 14: there that anytime he had anything to say, and they'd
- 1:58:13Speaker 14: be like where are people getting this information from. I'm like,
- 1:58:16Speaker 14: it's coming from them. It's literally coming from them, swear.
- 1:58:21Speaker 14: So I was like, it was like it was just
- 1:58:22Speaker 14: a weird situation. Bro, I'm telling you, it was the
- 1:58:24Speaker 14: weirdest situation ever. And it has nothing to do with
- 1:58:27Speaker 14: the greatest organization. It's more so the people that they
- 1:58:30Speaker 14: had in r at the time.
- 1:58:31Speaker 2: It's like there's like a saying right, like it's like
- 1:58:34Speaker 2: the good news, like the stuff like say you're in
- 1:58:37Speaker 2: the community, Like the good news always come from like
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: the local news, but all the bad news, the national
- 1:58:42Speaker 2: news comes from internal like comes from the team.
- 1:58:45Speaker 4: Yes, I'm telling you. And when I seen that, and
- 1:58:49Speaker 4: you know what made it worse. I seen it. I
- 1:58:51Speaker 4: didn't say nothing. Max was like, bro, did you see
- 1:58:53Speaker 4: who was on the phone with I said, okay, so
- 1:58:55Speaker 4: I'm not tripping. I was like, I thought, you're not
- 1:58:57Speaker 4: even you know how sometimes you'd be like and like
- 1:59:00Speaker 4: I might be yeah, I'm like I'm doing too much.
- 1:59:03Speaker 14: But like when Max brought it up, I was like, okay,
- 1:59:05Speaker 14: I know I'm bugging. I'm like yeah, But that's when
- 1:59:09Speaker 14: I knew, like it was over with, you know, Like
- 1:59:13Speaker 14: even though I was going there, Like coming back that
- 1:59:15Speaker 14: year to play.
- 1:59:16Speaker 4: I was like, I knew it was over with. I
- 1:59:18Speaker 4: knew that the relationship was over with.
- 1:59:20Speaker 2: Knowing where you're at now when you look back at it,
- 1:59:24Speaker 2: what learns do you have from like that process, Because
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of guys too, When you
- 1:59:29Speaker 2: get into free agency or you taste the teeth of
- 1:59:32Speaker 2: the business for the first time, it kind of catches
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: you off guard because you're thinking, you know, like college,
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: like loyalty, you perform, well, they're gonna pay you, or
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: they're going to take care of you. Playing hurd, it's honorable,
- 1:59:41Speaker 2: that'll get you pay. You think all these different things,
- 1:59:43Speaker 2: and then you come to find out looking back, you're like,
- 1:59:45Speaker 2: all right, I see why this went the way that
- 1:59:47Speaker 2: it did.
- 1:59:47Speaker 14: Bro I tell people all the time to play hurt,
- 1:59:51Speaker 14: you gotta be one mentally, you gotta be different. But
- 1:59:54Speaker 14: like once I got to the point where I'm like, damn,
- 1:59:57Speaker 14: I've played hurt all the time. I have done played with
- 2:00:00Speaker 14: a fractured shoulder, you know, the whole year from like
- 2:00:04Speaker 14: over half of the year with this shoulder, and now
- 2:00:09Speaker 14: it's time to get paid. Me doing that is really
- 2:00:12Speaker 14: bad for me because now you like against me, it.
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: Might not be as good, or they say, oh, you're
- 2:00:18Speaker 1: hurt a little bit more.
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: Brog will tell you something different. You're thinking that he
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: don't get it.
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: But then when the time, yeah.
- 2:00:32Speaker 14: Man, And then you think that if you sow, if
- 2:00:34Speaker 14: you do things right and you be loyal, that it's
- 2:00:36Speaker 14: gonna come back. But it's a business. You got to
- 2:00:38Speaker 14: understand the business. And that's my biggest thing. Like, looking back,
- 2:00:42Speaker 14: the thing that I would change the most is I
- 2:00:43Speaker 14: would probably have handled it a little differently.
- 2:00:46Speaker 4: Uh, I feel like.
- 2:00:50Speaker 14: I would have probably bro Honestly, I would have handled
- 2:00:52Speaker 14: a little different because I really never spoke on it.
- 2:00:54Speaker 14: I just like let them create the narrative the whole
- 2:00:57Speaker 14: time and then let people assume what they wanted to
- 2:01:00Speaker 14: assume was going on with me. For the longest, people
- 2:01:02Speaker 14: was like, oh, it's about money. Oh it's about that.
- 2:01:05Speaker 14: I'm like, it was never about that. Literally, is no
- 2:01:08Speaker 14: point was it about that? I'm like, if that was
- 2:01:10Speaker 14: the point, then I would took the first offer I had,
- 2:01:12Speaker 14: which was a lot more than what they offered me.
- 2:01:13Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like, but that's just that's
- 2:01:17Speaker 4: just the nature of the beast.
- 2:01:18Speaker 1: Yeah, real, So you would have been more vocal publicly
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: about what was going on.
- 2:01:22Speaker 4: I think I would have been more direct for sure.
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: At any point was your agent sitting there being like, hey,
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: we have to write some sort of narrative as well.
- 2:01:27Speaker 1: You send them playing chess out here.
- 2:01:29Speaker 4: He was more so like if this motherfucker.
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: He just right here, so funny, he.
- 2:01:37Speaker 4: Was like, if this motherfucker do this, Like we're going
- 2:01:39Speaker 4: to do this.
- 2:01:40Speaker 14: We had a game plan for everything, you know, even
- 2:01:43Speaker 14: like stats, we started posting stats. It's like it's hard
- 2:01:45Speaker 14: to deny affects, like regardless of what you want to say, like.
- 2:01:49Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, and like you know, when they didn't claim
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: your fifth yr option, Like I remember just being on
- 2:01:53Speaker 2: the bus and talking about how well you were performing
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: when they didn't pick up your fifty years exactly. It's
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: like you're doing a lot of different things that yeah,
- 2:01:59Speaker 2: it is undeniable, like how greatable player you are.
- 2:02:02Speaker 14: And then like like I was telling him, like, bro,
- 2:02:04Speaker 14: from when I've gotten the league, I'm like, don't nobody
- 2:02:07Speaker 14: have more resting yards than me since I've been in
- 2:02:09Speaker 14: the league, like Derek Henry. Besides Derek Herry, like you
- 2:02:13Speaker 14: see everybody else that's came in with my year or on,
- 2:02:17Speaker 14: like I'm leading, So I'm like, I don't know what
- 2:02:20Speaker 14: more you want me to do? Basically, it was my
- 2:02:23Speaker 14: point with them, I'm like, bro, like I'm a leader
- 2:02:26Speaker 14: in the locker room, I'm never late to stuff. I'm
- 2:02:28Speaker 14: not I'm not in trouble or none of that stuff.
- 2:02:30Speaker 14: Like what more do you want from me?
- 2:02:32Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I'm like, I'm giving you
- 2:02:33Speaker 4: everything I got and we still losing. Like you know
- 2:02:36Speaker 4: what I'm saying, like, yeah.
- 2:02:39Speaker 1: This is this is during the narrative in the NFL
- 2:02:41Speaker 1: that the running back position is losing its value because
- 2:02:43Speaker 1: nobody outplays their second contract. They only play their first contract.
- 2:02:46Speaker 1: So was there a level of you taking that personal?
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: Did you talk to like an acause.
- 2:02:51Speaker 2: Around that same time and all that?
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: But him Austin, there was a handful of other guys
- 2:02:57Speaker 1: that were like these guys, obviously I have high productions. Yeah,
- 2:03:00Speaker 1: but it was because at this point in time, there
- 2:03:03Speaker 1: was only one guy in the NFL who got a
- 2:03:05Speaker 1: second contract that outperformed his first contract, and that was
- 2:03:08Speaker 1: Derek Henricky.
- 2:03:09Speaker 4: Yep, because Todd Early and Zeke they was like, yeah.
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: Ever going back when like went downhill. So, hey, I'm
- 2:03:15Speaker 1: a premium was a bad business move at the time,
- 2:03:18Speaker 1: which I'm sure was playing a huge factor with the
- 2:03:21Speaker 1: higher ups of the Raiders.
- 2:03:22Speaker 14: Yeah, and I get that, but it's like, Okay, if
- 2:03:24Speaker 14: that's the case, I barely played in college, don't have them,
- 2:03:28Speaker 14: don't have that trail, don't have that trade at all.
- 2:03:31Speaker 14: You feel me so like, and then when I get
- 2:03:34Speaker 14: into the league, it's like, Okay, you can say that,
- 2:03:36Speaker 14: but I'm still the youngest guy doing it. I'm the youngest,
- 2:03:39Speaker 14: Like I you know, I I just turned twenty seven.
- 2:03:42Speaker 4: This is my seventh year. This is gonna be my
- 2:03:44Speaker 4: seven year in the NFL.
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: Did you imagine being your first year in the NFL
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: and like can't buy a drink? Like literally literally, Hey, Josh,
- 2:03:52Speaker 1: you want to know the club camp?
- 2:03:53Speaker 4: Yeah, I couldn't even rent a car. I couldn't get
- 2:03:56Speaker 4: a rental them. I swear I couldn't even I'm like,
- 2:03:59Speaker 4: I want to rental the help.
- 2:04:03Speaker 1: That is funny. Literally, Yeah, twenty seven years old, seven
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: years in the league.
- 2:04:07Speaker 2: Yep.
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: And now it seems like you, along with Derek, along
- 2:04:11Speaker 1: with Austin likes yes, thank you obviously, a huge piece,
- 2:04:17Speaker 1: Like you guys have essentially changed the narrative in the
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: NFL that the running back position needs to be more
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: value than it is now.
- 2:04:22Speaker 14: But it's coming full circle, Like it's literally coming full circle,
- 2:04:25Speaker 14: you see, and guys start to get paid. Like I'll
- 2:04:28Speaker 14: keep telling everybody Jamier and Bison, like whatever they get is, like,
- 2:04:32Speaker 14: how you gonna know what the market really is because
- 2:04:35Speaker 14: those are guys, you know what I'm saying. And the
- 2:04:37Speaker 14: thing is what I was trying to tell the Raiders is.
- 2:04:40Speaker 4: It's not too many guys. It's only about really like
- 2:04:45Speaker 4: six guys, six to eight guys like that. You really,
- 2:04:49Speaker 4: I would say, you can't really replace what they do.
- 2:04:51Speaker 4: And I felt like I was one of those guys.
- 2:04:53Speaker 14: You feel me some I'm like, you can't put me
- 2:04:55Speaker 14: in a category where the running back that has never
- 2:04:58Speaker 14: had a thousand yards in the season, you can't put
- 2:04:59Speaker 14: me in.
- 2:05:00Speaker 4: These other categories.
- 2:05:01Speaker 14: You're trying to put me in with guys that's never
- 2:05:03Speaker 14: finished the whole season, you know what I'm saying, Like
- 2:05:05Speaker 14: things like that, I'm like, we gotta be talking at
- 2:05:07Speaker 14: a whole different playing field. Yeah, And uh, that was
- 2:05:10Speaker 14: one thing that we were trying to push. That was
- 2:05:11Speaker 14: like a narrative that we were trying to push, but
- 2:05:14Speaker 14: it played out I was supposed.
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: To well you guys ever, and there was like rumors
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: going around about the running backs start in the room
- 2:05:19Speaker 1: kind of like yeah, Pa, is that ever a real thing?
- 2:05:22Speaker 14: Yeah we are, Yeah, we all did. But the problem
- 2:05:25Speaker 14: is BRO is just the simple truth BO Like a
- 2:05:31Speaker 14: lot of guys is selfish and like and that's really
- 2:05:33Speaker 14: what we got on that call.
- 2:05:36Speaker 4: And it was a lot of guys on the call.
- 2:05:38Speaker 14: It was a lot of guys that didn't get on
- 2:05:39Speaker 14: the call, and it felt like it was only two
- 2:05:41Speaker 14: or three of us talking the whole time.
- 2:05:44Speaker 4: Everybody else really had nothing to you know.
- 2:05:46Speaker 1: The vocal guys in that conversation.
- 2:05:47Speaker 14: Yeah, because I was being honest about what I was
- 2:05:50Speaker 14: being told. You know what I'm saying, like because I'm
- 2:05:53Speaker 14: one thing about me, man, I don't I want it's
- 2:05:55Speaker 14: enough money out here for everybody, and I want to
- 2:05:57Speaker 14: see everybody win. So like for me, I'm like I'm
- 2:06:01Speaker 14: telling him, like, look, this is what they're saying for me,
- 2:06:03Speaker 14: this is what they're saying. Like me and Sa Kwan
- 2:06:05Speaker 14: seeing it taxt back and forth with what you're hearing
- 2:06:06Speaker 14: from hey or what you're hearing from heryor like you
- 2:06:08Speaker 14: know what I'm saying, like and we basically like, look,
- 2:06:10Speaker 14: this is this is the market.
- 2:06:11Speaker 4: And I'm like, man, look I'm up here with this dude.
- 2:06:14Speaker 14: You're gonna have to pay me up here with this dude,
- 2:06:16Speaker 14: regardless of what any kind of contract looked like, you
- 2:06:19Speaker 14: know what I'm saying. So that was something that like
- 2:06:22Speaker 14: me and him talked a lot about, but the guys did, but.
- 2:06:25Speaker 4: Nobody stuck to it. Like I remember.
- 2:06:29Speaker 14: Austin Eckler was talking, uh, Joe Mixon was talking and
- 2:06:33Speaker 14: they was. We was like, guys, like, okay, are we
- 2:06:36Speaker 14: all not gonna show up to camp? Like is that
- 2:06:39Speaker 14: something that we all agreed on a lot of people
- 2:06:42Speaker 14: talked about it or are we not signing? Everybody was like,
- 2:06:44Speaker 14: we're not gonna sign. Dude signed three days later. I'm like, bro,
- 2:06:51Speaker 14: I promise bo, and it was I'm not gonna I'm
- 2:06:54Speaker 14: not gonna out nobody, but like it was a dude
- 2:06:55Speaker 14: that was talking and literally something next week I'm like,
- 2:07:00Speaker 14: so I already knew, like I said, like I knew
- 2:07:02Speaker 14: it was gonna break down because without unity, you ain't
- 2:07:04Speaker 14: gonna have nothing.
- 2:07:05Speaker 4: We ain't got no leverage, you know what I'm saying.
- 2:07:07Speaker 2: So I was like, you even at the macro level
- 2:07:09Speaker 2: with the NFLPA, it's like when you're trying to get
- 2:07:12Speaker 2: things shifted in the CBA and being at the meetings
- 2:07:15Speaker 2: and everything else, like you see where it's still like divided.
- 2:07:19Speaker 4: Nothing would ever get changed in the NFL because the
- 2:07:24Speaker 4: people for our like top guys to our lower guys,
- 2:07:27Speaker 4: it's so such a big margin, yeah, that nothing would
- 2:07:31Speaker 4: ever change. Because if I'm a guy that's making five
- 2:07:34Speaker 4: hundred thousand a year and I'm like scraping to get that,
- 2:07:37Speaker 4: it's like you you can't tell me a guy that's making.
- 2:07:40Speaker 14: Ten twenty twenty million a year to be like, yeah, bro,
- 2:07:43Speaker 14: we don't need to play football this year. He's gonna
- 2:07:45Speaker 14: be like I need to play football this ye, you
- 2:07:47Speaker 14: know what I'm saying.
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: So, like exactly, they.
- 2:07:49Speaker 14: Understand that they got that leverage, you know what I'm saying, Like, yeah,
- 2:07:51Speaker 14: and that's it's only what maybe two or three percent
- 2:07:56Speaker 14: of the gods is making over you know, twelve million
- 2:07:58Speaker 14: a year in the NFL and everybody else's you know
- 2:08:01Speaker 14: what I'm saying.
- 2:08:02Speaker 4: So it's like, you're not going to ever win that.
- 2:08:04Speaker 2: Yeah, signing bonuses Like I want to say, when the
- 2:08:08Speaker 2: CBA stuff has happened and there's like one hundred thousand
- 2:08:10Speaker 2: dollars signing like little bonuses or something that it's just
- 2:08:13Speaker 2: you're right. It's like the guys that need it that year,
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: it's like, hey, I get that you might be straight
- 2:08:17Speaker 2: for the next several years, but my ass like, I
- 2:08:20Speaker 2: need this.
- 2:08:23Speaker 1: Technique. You just put a dang a little bit in front,
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: and then the majority of guys are gonna move because
- 2:08:27Speaker 1: you're right two three percent. I feel like the closest
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: a moment that was almost changing it was Kirk Cousins
- 2:08:33Speaker 1: when he got the fully guaranteed contract. I think that's
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: what we put a lot of guys that pause, and
- 2:08:36Speaker 1: everyone's like, Okay, if this needs to happen, then quarterbacks
- 2:08:39Speaker 1: need to start this, start doing this, And it felt
- 2:08:42Speaker 1: like it was about to happen, But then I think
- 2:08:44Speaker 1: you're right. Greed gets in the way. Truly, for the
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: NFL to change the way the way they go about
- 2:08:50Speaker 1: paying everybody, it would take a full generation of NFL
- 2:08:53Speaker 1: players to essentially bend the knee and say I'm going
- 2:08:56Speaker 1: to make less money so the future can have more.
- 2:08:59Speaker 2: We needed you to do it. I wouldn't.
- 2:09:03Speaker 1: Because you're you're talking about you're talking about like selfish guys.
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, like like in twenty eighteen, I'm like,
- 2:09:08Speaker 1: I have the opportunity to be the highest paid guy.
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: I guarantee was, you know, sixty seventy percent of my contract.
- 2:09:13Speaker 1: I was like, and I think you even brought up
- 2:09:16Speaker 1: to me like You're like, hey, if you hold out
- 2:09:19Speaker 1: for this, But I'm thinking myself, fuck that that sounds awesome.
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: Somebody else will be that hero.
- 2:09:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:09:26Speaker 1: Now I'm sitting in a garage so.
- 2:09:30Speaker 6: More.
- 2:09:31Speaker 14: I feel like if a lot more quarterbacks actually got
- 2:09:34Speaker 14: on that train to be like, yeah, we're not playing
- 2:09:37Speaker 14: the NFL teams a lot faster too.
- 2:09:40Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: But it's interesting because like like Kirk Cousins does his
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: thing and he gets whatever one hundred and eighty or whatever.
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: Whenever he wants to get to Minnesota.
- 2:09:46Speaker 1: Whenever he went to Minnesota, and then like you see
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes always guys their contracts. I mean,
- 2:09:53Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is what half a billion dollars?
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:09:55Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, the numbers are so astronomical. It's like, how
- 2:09:59Speaker 1: do you say, and like, what's guaranteed to fifty?
- 2:10:01Speaker 4: Like fifty the contract. Who's the last person to give
- 2:10:04Speaker 4: fully guarantee?
- 2:10:07Speaker 1: No, Deshaun. I think DeShawn had like eighty eight.
- 2:10:09Speaker 2: No, DeShawn got full guaranteed when he went to the Yes, bro.
- 2:10:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the Browns fucked that up.
- 2:10:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:10:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel bad saying that to Shawn, but like.
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: Because it's like you you know, you got that, you
- 2:10:21Speaker 2: got the top guys who will get the full guaranteed.
- 2:10:23Speaker 2: You also need that level of play to be there
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: to to also solidify guys getting there.
- 2:10:29Speaker 1: Because that's an example where it's like he gets to
- 2:10:30Speaker 1: fully guaranteed and then he doesn't.
- 2:10:32Speaker 2: Obviously have to, right, So we wanted to have that. Yeah,
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: like this is exactly.
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: Why we don't do this. Yeah, yeah, because it's yeah,
- 2:10:39Speaker 1: it sucks, man, it's it sucks obviously, Like a lot
- 2:10:41Speaker 1: of people watching the shore like, yeah, I wish you
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: get five thousand dollars a year, yeah or whatever, there's
- 2:10:46Speaker 1: nine to fifty whatever that whatever the minimum is for
- 2:10:47Speaker 1: a vet guy. But yeah, massive changes have to happen,
- 2:10:51Speaker 1: but massive sacrifice has to happen, but change to happen.
- 2:10:54Speaker 2: Sure, was you going to making the transition to Green Bay?
- 2:10:58Speaker 2: Was it excitement out of the gate? Were you kind
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: of like is the grass gonna be greener because you
- 2:11:04Speaker 2: had a place for five years?
- 2:11:05Speaker 1: I was.
- 2:11:07Speaker 14: It was like bittersweet, like obviously because I didn't want
- 2:11:09Speaker 14: to leave. But when I looked at the team, I'm like, shit,
- 2:11:15Speaker 14: they winning, you know, winning Trump everything, bro, Like you
- 2:11:19Speaker 14: know what I'm saying. Like, so I was like yeah.
- 2:11:21Speaker 14: And then obviously Pisachia was over here, probably one of
- 2:11:24Speaker 14: my favorite coaches at all time.
- 2:11:26Speaker 2: That's somebody who can coach coaches ask of coach you hard,
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: motherfuck you literally and then has just these words and
- 2:11:33Speaker 2: builds this relationship on the side to any time he's
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: doing it, you don't feel any type of way about.
- 2:11:37Speaker 4: It because he was just a real as a coach.
- 2:11:39Speaker 4: He's the only coach I've ever had that to be like,
- 2:11:41Speaker 4: look see, look you fucking around And that's why they
- 2:11:44Speaker 4: upstairs talking about how to get ridio ass right now,
- 2:11:47Speaker 4: like either you figure it out or you ain't gonna
- 2:11:49Speaker 4: be here, And like he was the only one that'll
- 2:11:52Speaker 4: be real and be honest and that's all people be
- 2:11:55Speaker 4: asking for. It's like, don't tell me one thing and
- 2:11:57Speaker 4: then do another thing, right, Like, just tell me the truth,
- 2:12:00Speaker 4: whether it's ugly or whatever, just tell me the truth.
- 2:12:02Speaker 14: And he's always been that type of coach. So like
- 2:12:05Speaker 14: it's just a different respect. So when I knew that,
- 2:12:07Speaker 14: I'm like, okay, and then I came I'm like, damn,
- 2:12:11Speaker 14: it's quiet. I'm like, I don't here ship the food
- 2:12:16Speaker 14: spots closed at the eight o'clock. I'm like, damn, this
- 2:12:20Speaker 14: shit is different, but like it almost forces you to
- 2:12:24Speaker 14: lock in. It's like so much like college that I've
- 2:12:27Speaker 14: ever been around in the pro, in a pro stage
- 2:12:30Speaker 14: where it's like football and nothing else.
- 2:12:34Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying right here, Like we
- 2:12:36Speaker 2: was just on Uber eze. I think we got we
- 2:12:37Speaker 2: just the only spot really we could get was Buffalo Yeah,
- 2:12:40Speaker 2: but also Buffalbins does.
- 2:12:43Speaker 4: Out here might be the best Buffalowys.
- 2:12:46Speaker 1: Read I mean that should take massive prits, a five
- 2:12:48Speaker 1: star restaurant out here.

- 2:14:14Speaker 1: Yeah, the gut man walking in and like walking through
- 2:14:19Speaker 1: a place of this is It's not a custom home.
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: It's not something you put your heart in love.
- 2:14:22Speaker 14: Come on, man, when I say it was one of
- 2:14:25Speaker 14: the most stressful, stressful times I ever went because I
- 2:14:29Speaker 14: didn't know how much really went into the house. You
- 2:14:30Speaker 14: know what I'm saying, from every like backsplash to like
- 2:14:33Speaker 14: every little detail that I could that you could put
- 2:14:36Speaker 14: into house.
- 2:14:36Speaker 4: It was crazy.
- 2:14:37Speaker 14: They need that, it needs your opinion. I'm like, bro,
- 2:14:40Speaker 14: it's three fireplaces in the house, like pick something. They
- 2:14:42Speaker 14: like you got to pick something in there, like, but
- 2:14:44Speaker 14: that was the whole thing. And then I had like
- 2:14:47Speaker 14: so I was in Southern Highlands, so like it's actually
- 2:14:50Speaker 14: down the street from Derek Carr and Gruden's house in Vegas,
- 2:14:55Speaker 14: and I was like, I had like the biggest lot
- 2:14:57Speaker 14: in the community. So I'm like I'm doing you know,
- 2:15:01Speaker 14: I'm sooping the house up. But I'm not too much.
- 2:15:04Speaker 4: Mad about it. Man, I'm I'm doing to make almost
- 2:15:07Speaker 4: double what I spent, so I'm not too mad. I'm
- 2:15:12Speaker 4: not too mad about it.
- 2:15:13Speaker 1: Yeah God.
- 2:15:14Speaker 4: And then here, you know, here is way way cheaper.
- 2:15:18Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, way farther.
- 2:15:22Speaker 4: I got an eight bedroom crib. Now don't even need
- 2:15:26Speaker 4: them all brou I'm like, this is crazy, like this
- 2:15:30Speaker 4: much house like for nothing. Like I'm like, okay, you.
- 2:15:34Speaker 2: Know, he sits in the house. Sometimes they're like, why
- 2:15:36Speaker 2: did I get this house? I literally spend all my
- 2:15:38Speaker 2: time in these two rooms all the time.
- 2:15:40Speaker 4: Now you know why, because when you have family come,
- 2:15:43Speaker 4: you don't have to hear them.
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: Yeah right there.
- 2:15:47Speaker 1: It is nice to have that space.
- 2:15:50Speaker 14: My room got to be on the opposite side of
- 2:15:52Speaker 14: everywhere everybody else's room.
- 2:15:54Speaker 4: Yeah, y'all, y'all gonna have fun.
- 2:15:57Speaker 1: What is it like when your family comes to town
- 2:15:59Speaker 1: during game week? Like they get in like Thursday. How
- 2:16:01Speaker 1: much time are you like really spending because you should
- 2:16:03Speaker 1: be a cat that's like during the season.
- 2:16:05Speaker 4: Yeah, talk to you, not too much. I ain't. We
- 2:16:07Speaker 4: don't spend too much.
- 2:16:08Speaker 14: But the thing is, you know, Fridays be early, so
- 2:16:11Speaker 14: like Fridays, I get enough time. Saturdays be kind of
- 2:16:14Speaker 14: iffy because you know, you got the morning meetings in
- 2:16:17Speaker 14: the night meetings. But Fridays be kind of like the day.
- 2:16:20Speaker 14: We kind of like just kick it. But Sundays too
- 2:16:23Speaker 14: because one of a good thing also about playing out
- 2:16:27Speaker 14: here is all our games, most of our games be
- 2:16:28Speaker 14: in the morning, so we get that whole day.
- 2:16:31Speaker 4: You know, we be done by three o'clock. Yeah, you
- 2:16:33Speaker 4: be done by three o'clock.
- 2:16:34Speaker 1: It's so much fun to play the Sunday night games.
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: But there's nothing more convenient than a noon game Titans.
- 2:16:40Speaker 6: We do it.
- 2:16:40Speaker 2: Bro We play going to the Titans and being home
- 2:16:44Speaker 2: at like four o'clock. Because Washington, we didn't have to
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: commute an hour each time. So you don't get if
- 2:16:49Speaker 2: you play the one o'clock game, you're not getting back
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: to the house of like seven thirty eight o'clock. When
- 2:16:53Speaker 2: I came to Tennessee, and it's like all the games
- 2:16:56Speaker 2: are at noon except for maybe you know one or.
- 2:16:58Speaker 1: Two Thursday Night Jacksonville, Thursday Night week fifteen. Every time. Yeah,
- 2:17:04Speaker 1: it is, it's the it's the best. It is, especially
- 2:17:06Speaker 1: unless you don't play well, then it's like you kill me.
- 2:17:08Speaker 14: Yeah, and then like at my house too, we always
- 2:17:11Speaker 14: have all the holidays, so like all my siblings will
- 2:17:15Speaker 14: come up, niece's nephews come up, Like, we had a
- 2:17:18Speaker 14: big holidays at the house.
- 2:17:19Speaker 4: So it's been fun.
- 2:17:20Speaker 14: Man, we creating them, you know, the memories and the
- 2:17:23Speaker 14: new generation you know coming up for us.
- 2:17:26Speaker 4: Get to experience that, and I think that's very important. Bro.
- 2:17:29Speaker 1: Just wait until you're done, Like, don't ever wish it away.
- 2:17:32Speaker 1: But when you're finished, that first holiday season, really that
- 2:17:35Speaker 1: first August, Yeah, you'll wake up and it'll be your
- 2:17:38Speaker 1: We'll go out and be like, man, it's hot as
- 2:17:39Speaker 1: hell out here, and then you'll think to yourself, oh
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: my god, I.
- 2:17:41Speaker 4: Used to be I used to do that.
- 2:17:45Speaker 1: And then Halloween will come up and you'll be so
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: dialed into Halloween and Thanksgiving. You're being so fired up Christmas.
- 2:17:50Speaker 1: It's like you might as well be Santa Claus. Yeah,
- 2:17:53Speaker 1: you're like, it's crazy the perspective that changed.
- 2:17:55Speaker 2: Oh, I gotta get a work out of it. And
- 2:17:57Speaker 2: wait a minute, I.
- 2:18:00Speaker 1: Mean I should. I guess I will, But it's just
- 2:18:03Speaker 1: it's crazy when there's not like that. You're chasing that
- 2:18:05Speaker 1: one percent every single year.
- 2:18:06Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, how's your how's your dad? He's got to
- 2:18:09Speaker 2: be super proud of everything that you've accomplished.
- 2:18:12Speaker 4: Yeah, man, he's doing good man.
- 2:18:14Speaker 14: I mean I tell people all the time, he's moving around,
- 2:18:16Speaker 14: he's coaching, he's back coaching, uh, things like that. Like
- 2:18:19Speaker 14: he's been doing good man. That's all the way I
- 2:18:21Speaker 14: can explain is if it's quiet, it's good.
- 2:18:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:18:24Speaker 4: And it's been it's been real quiet lately. So it's
- 2:18:27Speaker 4: been smooth.
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: That's good man. I love like when he has his
- 2:18:30Speaker 2: interviews for when you were talking about the times that
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: you guys were homeless, you just see him get emotional.
- 2:18:35Speaker 4: It's yeah.
- 2:18:36Speaker 2: I tell him, it's got to be wild seeing where
- 2:18:38Speaker 2: you how far you've come since those times.
- 2:18:41Speaker 1: The level of sacrifice so much that man to get
- 2:18:43Speaker 1: you where you are today is unbelievable.
- 2:18:45Speaker 14: Yeah, man, And I would say that's probably just the
- 2:18:47Speaker 14: biggest thing I really take away from it because like
- 2:18:51Speaker 14: even now, like me being a dad, I'm like, could
- 2:18:53Speaker 14: I've done it?
- 2:18:54Speaker 4: I don't know, you.
- 2:18:55Speaker 14: Know, like just being real, you know, like the things
- 2:18:58Speaker 14: that he'd done, Like like literally I've watched him not eat.
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, he.
- 2:19:03Speaker 14: Gave us the food, you know, like he giving us
- 2:19:05Speaker 14: his full We spliting, you know, three pieces of chicken
- 2:19:08Speaker 14: between five kids and some sides, you know, like and
- 2:19:11Speaker 14: I'm like, man, I'm like, damn, is you gonna eat?
- 2:19:15Speaker 14: Like I remember, I'm telling you, like we was just
- 2:19:17Speaker 14: sleeping them cars. Everything used to be in the back
- 2:19:19Speaker 14: and it was suburban, so you know, it's like three
- 2:19:21Speaker 14: roles in the suburban. And I remember I used to
- 2:19:24Speaker 14: wake up and he just he got his gun sitting
- 2:19:26Speaker 14: on his lap, and I'm like, you want to sleep,
- 2:19:28Speaker 14: like what you like. But the thing that I would
- 2:19:30Speaker 14: say that I did learn and notice at a young
- 2:19:33Speaker 14: age is I understood a lot. Like I felt like
- 2:19:37Speaker 14: it made me grow up very fast. Like I seen
- 2:19:40Speaker 14: and experienced a lot at a young age. So like
- 2:19:44Speaker 14: by the time I was in fifth grade, like I
- 2:19:45Speaker 14: already knew how to cook, how to pay bills, get groceries,
- 2:19:50Speaker 14: like all of that by myself.
- 2:19:52Speaker 4: Like I used to have to go literally have to
- 2:19:54Speaker 4: go do it. I used to hate that shit, you
- 2:19:56Speaker 4: know what, but like literally, like my god, n it
- 2:20:00Speaker 4: was just a difference. It was just different.
- 2:20:02Speaker 14: So for me, football was always Football in school was
- 2:20:06Speaker 14: the only time I felt like I was just like regularly.
- 2:20:09Speaker 2: What was it like in your mind whenever the homies
- 2:20:12Speaker 2: would be like, hey, Josh, let's go over to your spot.
- 2:20:14Speaker 5: You want to know what's crazy, bro.
- 2:20:17Speaker 14: I was just talking to my dad about this literally
- 2:20:18Speaker 14: last week. I said, I think it's crazy how to
- 2:20:21Speaker 14: all my friends. We probably have the least amount of
- 2:20:23Speaker 14: all my friends, but all my friends always wanted to
- 2:20:25Speaker 14: come to my art like wherever we was. But I
- 2:20:27Speaker 14: think it's because the way that my dad treated people,
- 2:20:31Speaker 14: in the way that he it was the feeling, like
- 2:20:34Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying, Like I tell people all
- 2:20:35Speaker 14: the time, people be like.
- 2:20:38Speaker 4: Single pair of households. Like I tell people, I'm like, I.
- 2:20:40Speaker 14: Know a kid right now where he has his mom
- 2:20:43Speaker 14: and his dad at home, but his dad's alcoholic and
- 2:20:46Speaker 14: he can't be at home, you know what I'm saying.
- 2:20:49Speaker 14: So I never judged nobody because I obviously my situation,
- 2:20:52Speaker 14: but like, you never know what people were going through.
- 2:20:54Speaker 14: So when I feel like a lot of these kids
- 2:20:56Speaker 14: they was going through things at home that when they
- 2:20:58Speaker 14: came with us, we might not have the best of things,
- 2:21:00Speaker 14: but it was always peace and it was always love.
- 2:21:03Speaker 14: So like I think that was something that like I
- 2:21:05Speaker 14: definitely carry.
- 2:21:07Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome, man, that is cool. I've never met
- 2:21:11Speaker 1: your dad, but obviously have a whole lot of respect
- 2:21:13Speaker 1: for him. Sure, we're at the draft now, you get
- 2:21:17Speaker 1: drafted in the first round. Where did you go to
- 2:21:19Speaker 1: the draft?
- 2:21:19Speaker 4: Yes, regretted it.
- 2:21:21Speaker 1: What was that experience? What was that experience like for you?
- 2:21:24Speaker 14: They don't tell you that the whole day leading up
- 2:21:27Speaker 14: to the ship, you got interviews, you got media, then
- 2:21:30Speaker 14: you got like an hour, like two hours to get
- 2:21:33Speaker 14: ready and really like head over there and be the
- 2:21:35Speaker 14: because you got to be there at a certain time.
- 2:21:38Speaker 14: And then they don't tell you afterwards, like you leave
- 2:21:42Speaker 14: the stage and literally go back to media they're doing
- 2:21:44Speaker 14: interviews like So for me, I love the experience. I
- 2:21:48Speaker 14: loved Nashville's it was fun. I turned up a little
- 2:21:53Speaker 14: bit and a little bit of time that I had
- 2:21:54Speaker 14: I had at six am flight that next morning. Uh
- 2:21:58Speaker 14: so I turned up a little bit, But I felt
- 2:22:02Speaker 14: like it was so much going on. I didn't really
- 2:22:04Speaker 14: get to sit down and really just like process what happened.
- 2:22:09Speaker 14: And if I was to do it differently, I would
- 2:22:10Speaker 14: have just had a party at home with all my
- 2:22:12Speaker 14: with all my family and all my friends and then
- 2:22:14Speaker 14: figured it out. But it was definitely something that I'm
- 2:22:18Speaker 14: you know, forever, you know, grateful for and a memory
- 2:22:21Speaker 14: that is definitely gonna last all my life.
- 2:22:23Speaker 1: What was it like sitting there and you're sitting at
- 2:22:25Speaker 1: the table, you have like eight people with you, plus
- 2:22:27Speaker 1: your agent, and you're just waiting for the phone to ring,
- 2:22:30Speaker 1: and you see guys getting picked over and over. Yeah,
- 2:22:32Speaker 1: were you ever like, man, what if I don't get picked?
- 2:22:35Speaker 1: What if I have to be the guy to sit here?
- 2:22:36Speaker 1: Would have to be that Geno stip Remember that Will
- 2:22:38Speaker 1: Levis moment where it's like all the cameras around me.
- 2:22:41Speaker 4: I was watching people do that.
- 2:22:43Speaker 14: Yeah, you know I knew I was. I knew I
- 2:22:46Speaker 14: was gonna either go to the Raiders or I was
- 2:22:47Speaker 14: going to Philly. So I was like, I already know
- 2:22:49Speaker 14: these are the two teams.
- 2:22:51Speaker 1: Did How were you for sure about that?
- 2:22:52Speaker 4: Just by talking to him?
- 2:22:54Speaker 2: You know, he wasn't for sure.
- 2:22:55Speaker 1: I know he could have just by I was when
- 2:22:58Speaker 1: I when I was getting red the draft. Yeah, the
- 2:23:00Speaker 1: Falcons came to my house, yeah, Monday before the draft
- 2:23:03Speaker 1: on Thursday, and they took a private jet to Arizona
- 2:23:06Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, if you're there at six Britt Eddy. Yeah,
- 2:23:08Speaker 1: and I'm thinking to myself, I'll fucking be there at six,
- 2:23:11Speaker 1: like I'm gonna be a dirty bird. Six came and
- 2:23:14Speaker 1: went Jake Matthews took him, and I was I thought
- 2:23:17Speaker 1: I was not gonna get drafted that day. Yeah, I
- 2:23:19Speaker 1: thought I was essentially the Truman show and it's been
- 2:23:22Speaker 1: a show. And I was just making fun of me.
- 2:23:23Speaker 2: You got duped, that got duped.
- 2:23:25Speaker 4: There's no way you really know, No, you don't really
- 2:23:27Speaker 4: truly truly know. But I just know.
- 2:23:29Speaker 14: When I had that meeting with the Raiders and I
- 2:23:31Speaker 14: talked to you know, Kirby Wilson and Gruden, I'm like,
- 2:23:35Speaker 14: one thing about Grooded, I don't think he got a
- 2:23:37Speaker 14: real good poker face, like you kind of like you
- 2:23:40Speaker 14: kind of.
- 2:23:40Speaker 4: Know what he thinking and way you're feeling, you know
- 2:23:42Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
- 2:23:42Speaker 14: But like the way he just treated me, I'm like, okay,
- 2:23:46Speaker 14: like there's a real possibility. But then when I seen
- 2:23:48Speaker 14: the Eagles they moved up it was like the twentieth
- 2:23:51Speaker 14: twentieth pig something like that, they moved up to twentieth
- 2:23:55Speaker 14: twenty two or something like that.
- 2:23:56Speaker 4: I'm like, oh shit, they about to draft me.
- 2:23:58Speaker 14: Like I went to you know, took a visitor and
- 2:24:00Speaker 14: ship and then they end up picking the Andre Dillard
- 2:24:03Speaker 14: and I was like, damn, So then I was kind
- 2:24:05Speaker 14: of like a ship, you know, like I'm like and
- 2:24:11Speaker 14: then two picks later, I heard that phone ring and
- 2:24:13Speaker 14: I'm like.
- 2:24:14Speaker 1: Did you have like one of those old rotary from
- 2:24:16Speaker 1: the call yourself they called the rotary thing? Yes, dude,
- 2:24:21Speaker 1: that's fucking awesome. But the stress is insane.
- 2:24:23Speaker 14: The stress is insane, especially because, like like I say,
- 2:24:26Speaker 14: you see them people that's not getting picked that day.
- 2:24:28Speaker 14: They thought that they were dressed to tie family there,
- 2:24:32Speaker 14: and now you see their family. You know, you know,
- 2:24:33Speaker 14: you're getting sick secondhand embarrassment, and you're just like, damn,
- 2:24:37Speaker 14: like would.
- 2:24:38Speaker 9: It be me?
- 2:24:39Speaker 4: Like, you know, like.
- 2:24:42Speaker 1: That's just come on, that's scary. When you flew to
- 2:24:45Speaker 1: the Raiders, do you fly private?
- 2:24:47Speaker 2: No?

- 2:27:01Speaker 4: That was that was a fun day. Yeah, it was
- 2:27:03Speaker 4: a fun day.
- 2:27:03Speaker 1: What was your first big purchase?
- 2:27:05Speaker 4: We were like, yes, first big purchase, big purchase.
- 2:27:14Speaker 14: I would say my first big purchase was I bought
- 2:27:16Speaker 14: my dad a crib. So I bought my dad house
- 2:27:19Speaker 14: before I even had the house I was renting at
- 2:27:21Speaker 14: the time, which I was renting for a steal in
- 2:27:25Speaker 14: Dublin in Oakland because like, I'm like, I had a
- 2:27:28Speaker 14: three bedroom for like twenty seven hundred.
- 2:27:30Speaker 4: A month, a three bedroom townhouse with a garage. I
- 2:27:34Speaker 4: was hitting the legs.
- 2:27:35Speaker 14: It was people paying thirty eight hundred they stayed in
- 2:27:39Speaker 14: Oakland like for a single.
- 2:27:42Speaker 2: Single bro because I remember, I just stayed at the
- 2:27:44Speaker 2: extended state because all the options were crazy.
- 2:27:46Speaker 14: So I was like and then not like I said,
- 2:27:48Speaker 14: I deferred my signing bonus. So I was living very modest,
- 2:27:52Speaker 14: like you know, I'm like, I'm not really spending no
- 2:27:54Speaker 14: money or nothing.
- 2:27:54Speaker 4: Nothing.
- 2:27:55Speaker 14: But actually I ended up doing a Super Bowl commercial
- 2:27:58Speaker 14: for Kia, and I made more in that Superball commercial
- 2:28:01Speaker 14: than I made the whole year in football, so I
- 2:28:03Speaker 14: went it.
- 2:28:04Speaker 1: Yeah, where was the commercial shot?
- 2:28:06Speaker 4: It's also really at home. I went and bought my
- 2:28:09Speaker 4: pops a crib the next day.
- 2:28:10Speaker 1: So did you get taxed in Oklahoma for that or
- 2:28:12Speaker 1: do you?
- 2:28:13Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:28:13Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a win. That is a win. Yeah,
- 2:28:17Speaker 1: because if you play for Tennessee, like you're playing all
- 2:28:20Speaker 1: eight home games, are stating a free state income tax,
- 2:28:24Speaker 1: no state income tax. But then you're also playing in Houston.
- 2:28:26Speaker 4: Which is good.
- 2:28:27Speaker 1: Yeah, and Florida in your division, so you have like
- 2:28:30Speaker 1: the most amount of no state income tax if you're
- 2:28:32Speaker 1: playing in the AFC South, if you're in Florida.
- 2:28:34Speaker 2: Well he got the taste it in Vegas.
- 2:28:38Speaker 1: No, yeah, they got no they had no state income tax.
- 2:28:41Speaker 1: But the cost of living is crazy out there there too.
- 2:28:44Speaker 2: Yeah, it is nice outlook on this year. How are
- 2:28:46Speaker 2: you feeling? You look healthy, you look ready to go?
- 2:28:49Speaker 2: He was just he was talking before before the pod started,
- 2:28:53Speaker 2: how even though you were like the most carried back
- 2:28:55Speaker 2: in the first quarter of the first half, that you
- 2:28:58Speaker 2: feel like you're in great shape, Like you didn't take
- 2:29:01Speaker 2: much of a beating last year.
- 2:29:02Speaker 14: Now I was the cleanest I hadn't had in the year,
- 2:29:04Speaker 14: Like I probably had only had like a couple of
- 2:29:06Speaker 14: games where I felt like I was like damn, this
- 2:29:08Speaker 14: shit lingering, and like I feel it like the damning.
- 2:29:11Speaker 14: The whole year, I was pretty good. Like you ever
- 2:29:15Speaker 14: come out of game and just feel like damn. I
- 2:29:16Speaker 14: did a lot of conditioning, Like they didn't feel like
- 2:29:19Speaker 14: no brumps, no bruises, just like a lot of conditioning.
- 2:29:21Speaker 14: I had a lot of those games. So for me,
- 2:29:23Speaker 14: like what I think of the team when you got
- 2:29:27Speaker 14: a lot of young guys. Was the youngest team in
- 2:29:30Speaker 14: the NFL last year. It's a lot of hunger, which
- 2:29:34Speaker 14: I love. It's a lot of guys that's still coachable,
- 2:29:38Speaker 14: still willing to, you know, like put in the work
- 2:29:40Speaker 14: each day and just to have them type of guys
- 2:29:44Speaker 14: with another year's worth of experience. And then obviously we
- 2:29:48Speaker 14: added some pieces. We add them with Cole Harty, we
- 2:29:49Speaker 14: got Nate Hobbs. You know the draft coming up, We're
- 2:29:52Speaker 14: gonna get some guys. I think we're gonna be straight man.
- 2:29:55Speaker 14: I tell people all the time, we played the Eagles
- 2:29:57Speaker 14: better than any other teams that I seen, and that
- 2:30:00Speaker 14: was just me watching football and scouting and things like that.
- 2:30:02Speaker 14: I'm like, we gave them the best run for their
- 2:30:05Speaker 14: money than any other than any other team.
- 2:30:08Speaker 4: So I think we're there. Were just a few pieces away,
- 2:30:11Speaker 4: and we gotta gotta figure it out.
- 2:30:16Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think is gonna take for Green
- 2:30:18Speaker 2: Bay to get over the hump man crazy?
- 2:30:23Speaker 14: The division is legit. The division is legit. I always thought, Bro,
- 2:30:30Speaker 14: and they close. That's why I keep telling me. I'm like, Bro,
- 2:30:32Speaker 14: I'm I'm not a I'm realistic. I'm a realistic thinker
- 2:30:35Speaker 14: you feel me. So like the Bears are not bad, bro,
- 2:30:39Speaker 14: Like they got a good team, they just missing some pieces.
- 2:30:42Speaker 14: And I feel like for us, a lot of our
- 2:30:44Speaker 14: problems last year was especially towards the end of the year,
- 2:30:47Speaker 14: like half our team was hurt.
- 2:30:48Speaker 4: Like if we would have won.
- 2:30:49Speaker 14: Against the Eagles that next game, we would have got
- 2:30:52Speaker 14: blew out because nobody was half our team want to play,
- 2:30:56Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying. Like I saw it was
- 2:30:57Speaker 14: just one of them situations where I was like, we
- 2:31:00Speaker 14: stay healthy.
- 2:31:01Speaker 4: We get that.
- 2:31:01Speaker 14: You know, we built that callus and like mentally and
- 2:31:04Speaker 14: physically we you know what I'm saying, We we built
- 2:31:06Speaker 14: that callus. We're gonna figure it out. Yeah, stamina, We're
- 2:31:09Speaker 14: gonna figure it out for sure.
- 2:31:11Speaker 1: What it talks to me about Matt Lafleur in his
- 2:31:14Speaker 1: process and how he is and then and then after
- 2:31:16Speaker 1: that talk to me about his pregame speeches.
- 2:31:21Speaker 14: So Matt, he is first off, his mind for the
- 2:31:27Speaker 14: game is it's up there with the best of them.
- 2:31:29Speaker 14: He is smart, His mind for the game is up
- 2:31:32Speaker 14: there with the best of them. Like one thing I
- 2:31:34Speaker 14: love about me and his relationship. We talk every day,
- 2:31:36Speaker 14: so like when we in season. We literally talk every day.
- 2:31:39Speaker 14: He'll put me to the side or whatever and we'll
- 2:31:41Speaker 14: we have our one on one or he'll be like,
- 2:31:43Speaker 14: you know.
- 2:31:43Speaker 2: What do you see?
- 2:31:44Speaker 4: What do you whatever? And we'll we had them conversations.
- 2:31:47Speaker 14: But like when I say scheme wise and like the
- 2:31:50Speaker 14: way he breaks down films and explains like why we're
- 2:31:53Speaker 14: doing this because you know, a lot of people just
- 2:31:55Speaker 14: tell you do this, Like he break it down like
- 2:31:57Speaker 14: this is why we're doing this because they show this,
- 2:31:59Speaker 14: and they show this. I'm like, damn this, Like he
- 2:32:02Speaker 14: got me thinking, like I'm going on your six at
- 2:32:05Speaker 14: the time, and I'm like, damn, he got me thinking
- 2:32:07Speaker 14: about ship that I ain't even thought about, you know
- 2:32:09Speaker 14: what I'm saying, Like, and so it was a lot
- 2:32:11Speaker 14: of big respect. I think he's also a player's coach.
- 2:32:15Speaker 14: He gives the players a lot of He give us
- 2:32:17Speaker 14: a lot of Like I'm not gonna say Lee way
- 2:32:18Speaker 14: because he don't give Lee way. He gonna stand on
- 2:32:21Speaker 14: what he believe in.
- 2:32:22Speaker 1: Uh.
- 2:32:22Speaker 14: But like when I say Lee way, like he gonna
- 2:32:25Speaker 14: come to the to the leaders of the team and
- 2:32:27Speaker 14: be like, what do y'all want to do in certain
- 2:32:29Speaker 14: situations like uh, it's code outside of I want to
- 2:32:32Speaker 14: go inside outside, we outside, you know, like that's like
- 2:32:35Speaker 14: things like that. But as a coach man like and
- 2:32:40Speaker 14: he gonna go to war for you. That's another thing too.
- 2:32:43Speaker 14: Headn't got fine for cutting out refs things like that,
- 2:32:46Speaker 14: Like if he believed in something, he gonna go to
- 2:32:48Speaker 14: war for you. So he's just one of them guys
- 2:32:50Speaker 14: man like that group that's in there, you know, Pisace
- 2:32:53Speaker 14: and all of them guys man Like they're legit. They're legit.
- 2:32:57Speaker 14: They make you. They may come in to work fun.
- 2:32:59Speaker 14: I don't know if people know, but we got a
- 2:33:00Speaker 14: basketball hoop in our team meeting room, and we got
- 2:33:06Speaker 14: something like even in the workout rooms and stuff like that,
- 2:33:08Speaker 14: like they have dance sauce. We had like all that,
- 2:33:11Speaker 14: all that kind of stuff. Bro, he just he understand.
- 2:33:14Speaker 14: He got a he got his finger on the post
- 2:33:15Speaker 14: for sure.
- 2:33:16Speaker 1: Fun.
- 2:33:16Speaker 14: Yeah, he make it fun. He don't make it just work,
- 2:33:19Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying. And then he's efficient with
- 2:33:22Speaker 14: the time. That is that's the thing that I love most.
- 2:33:27Speaker 14: I'm not gonna lie to you, like because I'm already
- 2:33:29Speaker 14: waking up at five every day. I'm not trying to
- 2:33:32Speaker 14: be here from five to six thirty every day. That's
- 2:33:35Speaker 14: basically how it was at the Raiders. Five to six
- 2:33:37Speaker 14: thirty every day.
- 2:33:39Speaker 4: Here we out about three three thirty You gone, You're done,
- 2:33:44Speaker 4: bro Yes on Wednesday, on a Wednesday. The only way
- 2:33:48Speaker 4: you staying, the only way you staying longer is if
- 2:33:50Speaker 4: you obviously taking care of your body, right, But like
- 2:33:52Speaker 4: if you already got all that, Like me, I got
- 2:33:54Speaker 4: a whole setup, Like you know what I'm saying, So
- 2:33:56Speaker 4: they like I'll face them, FaceTime them at home recovery.
- 2:34:00Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
- 2:34:00Speaker 14: So like three third you gone, I'm like, this is different,
- 2:34:04Speaker 14: Like I actually feel like I got a day, Like
- 2:34:07Speaker 14: I don't feel like I'm just working the whole time,
- 2:34:09Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying, Like, and I think that
- 2:34:11Speaker 14: that's something that that helped us a lot, you know,
- 2:34:15Speaker 14: especially like from a mental standpoint, it helped our team
- 2:34:17Speaker 14: a lot. But we also got younger guys, and then
- 2:34:20Speaker 14: each generation that it gets.
- 2:34:21Speaker 4: A little weirder and weirder. They are a little a
- 2:34:23Speaker 4: little different, so you kind of gotta like, for real,
- 2:34:27Speaker 4: I'm just.
- 2:34:27Speaker 2: Being real, Like his voice gets a little a little.
- 2:34:31Speaker 14: Different, but you got it. Just and I feel like
- 2:34:34Speaker 14: he's one of them coaches that he understands. He has
- 2:34:36Speaker 14: his finger on the post for sure.
- 2:34:37Speaker 1: I feel like Matt Lafleur's mind being displayed to the public.
- 2:34:42Speaker 1: A good example of that was Malik Willis and Jordan
- 2:34:45Speaker 1: Love went.
- 2:34:45Speaker 4: Down, come on.
- 2:34:49Speaker 1: And like, I love like he is one of those
- 2:34:51Speaker 1: guys like in the locker room, always the smileest face,
- 2:34:54Speaker 1: always seems eager to learn. But when he was at
- 2:34:56Speaker 1: the Titans, it was like he didn't know the cans,
- 2:34:58Speaker 1: Like he had a really hard time picking up the
- 2:35:00Speaker 1: playbook yep. And so when he went to the Packers,
- 2:35:03Speaker 1: I was thinking, you.
- 2:35:04Speaker 2: Know, he's playing in what week?
- 2:35:07Speaker 1: Week four?
- 2:35:08Speaker 4: Yeah, because we went to three.
- 2:35:10Speaker 1: Yeah, And I bet a lot of money on Tennessee.
- 2:35:14Speaker 1: I bet a lot of because I was like, oh,
- 2:35:16Speaker 1: Malice's playing, I know, like you know, I just know
- 2:35:18Speaker 1: he struggled with the playbook quite a bit because I
- 2:35:20Speaker 1: really like him and I don't want to throw the
- 2:35:21Speaker 1: shit at him at all, But he came out and
- 2:35:23Speaker 1: he had.
- 2:35:24Speaker 4: A game, and you want to know what's crazy about him?
- 2:35:26Speaker 14: So Malik, great dude, great dude, first and foremost hard worker,
- 2:35:33Speaker 14: never signs the light on himself, always gives the light
- 2:35:35Speaker 14: to somebody else, Like he's just wanted them guys that
- 2:35:37Speaker 14: you genuinely be friends with the rest of your life.
- 2:35:40Speaker 14: But me and him, we had that conversation. I'm like
- 2:35:44Speaker 14: he like, he said, Bro, this is the first time
- 2:35:46Speaker 14: I ever felt like I'm getting taught how to play,
- 2:35:49Speaker 14: like for real. And he was like, he said, the
- 2:35:51Speaker 14: way that they breaking it down to me and simplifying
- 2:35:54Speaker 14: things for me, like I feel like I could just
- 2:35:56Speaker 14: play for again, He's like, I feel like I'm in college,
- 2:35:58Speaker 14: like I could just play. So that is something like
- 2:36:02Speaker 14: and even you know you've seen it. The fans even
- 2:36:05Speaker 14: kind of was like, damn, nobody expected him to play
- 2:36:07Speaker 14: as good as he did, and he really look like
- 2:36:11Speaker 14: every game he played in bro, he called, I'm like, damn,
- 2:36:14Speaker 14: Like it got to the point where everybody.
- 2:36:16Speaker 4: Was like, I shit, like like what we been to do?
- 2:36:19Speaker 4: Like what's fitna go on?
- 2:36:21Speaker 14: But that's just a testament to him, bro, Like and
- 2:36:24Speaker 14: I feel like when you, like I said, bro, when
- 2:36:26Speaker 14: you're a good person, Bro, when you work hard, I
- 2:36:28Speaker 14: feel like everything else, take care of yourself.
- 2:36:30Speaker 4: And he's just one of them dudes that we had
- 2:36:32Speaker 4: this talk.
- 2:36:33Speaker 14: I literally talked about said, man, you keep putting this
- 2:36:35Speaker 14: on film, like you might have some teams like really
- 2:36:39Speaker 14: trying to come get you, like figuring it out like
- 2:36:41Speaker 14: this next year. I was like, I don't know how
- 2:36:42Speaker 14: long you're gonna be here because you're playing so good,
- 2:36:45Speaker 14: you're playing at a high level that like maybe you're
- 2:36:47Speaker 14: gonna get another chance at it.
- 2:36:49Speaker 4: So hopefully I hope you do.
- 2:36:50Speaker 14: Man, I think he definitely deserves another chance at least
- 2:36:53Speaker 14: competing for that spot for sure.
- 2:36:55Speaker 2: We brushed over it a minute ago because I know
- 2:36:58Speaker 2: coach Laflurt, he's tapped in right now, but he's pregame speeches.
- 2:37:01Speaker 4: Oh yes, pre game speeches?
- 2:37:02Speaker 2: Does he does? He just get the mic to Basacia.
- 2:37:05Speaker 4: I ain't gonna lie. I feel like.
- 2:37:09Speaker 14: I feel like he's not really a pregame speech coach.
- 2:37:13Speaker 14: He like he had a few that he was like okay,
- 2:37:16Speaker 14: but he don't mostly like he say the ship that
- 2:37:19Speaker 14: needs to be said, let me say that, like he
- 2:37:22Speaker 14: keep it more like calm, and then he let the players.
- 2:37:26Speaker 4: He let the players take over, so like really the players.
- 2:37:30Speaker 14: Lead, we lead each other out, like he'll say what
- 2:37:33Speaker 14: he gotta say, and then the players will get this.
- 2:37:35Speaker 14: We'll talk and we will hype everybody up, and then
- 2:37:37Speaker 14: we will lead up and then we'll lead.
- 2:37:39Speaker 4: Out, you know.
- 2:37:40Speaker 14: And he's always that way. Now, his speeches after the
- 2:37:44Speaker 14: game be befar speeches, speeches even talking to ship then
- 2:37:53Speaker 14: you feel me. But before the game he's more kind
- 2:37:55Speaker 14: of kind of chill. He's more like a calm, collected coach.
- 2:38:00Speaker 2: Plays strengths. Yeah, you got to do we get into
- 2:38:03Speaker 2: the last question.
- 2:38:04Speaker 1: Let's get in the last question.
- 2:38:06Speaker 2: This last question is brought to us by bud Light. Josh,
- 2:38:08Speaker 2: you know how people will do anything for a bud Light.
- 2:38:12Speaker 2: What is something that you would do anything for.
- 2:38:15Speaker 4: I can't say.
- 2:38:17Speaker 2: Family could be an ambitious goal.
- 2:38:23Speaker 4: Any something I would do anything for. Damn, that's a
- 2:38:30Speaker 4: loadly question.
- 2:38:31Speaker 1: You got some low hanging fruit though, that's just waiting
- 2:38:33Speaker 1: for you to pick it.
- 2:38:35Speaker 4: That's what you think.
- 2:38:36Speaker 2: What you think super Bowl?
- 2:38:40Speaker 4: But what's anything for it?
- 2:38:42Speaker 2: Because when he's on the podcast years ago, he said
- 2:38:46Speaker 2: he'd cut his dick off for a Super Bowl.
- 2:38:48Speaker 1: No willing to sacrifice for greatness, not for that.
- 2:38:55Speaker 14: That's an as that's it depends on what you think
- 2:39:01Speaker 14: about it.
- 2:39:01Speaker 2: When you're in the middle of the season because you're
- 2:39:03Speaker 2: always in that like top three? Do you have your
- 2:39:05Speaker 2: mind on the rushing title offensive MVP? Bro?
- 2:39:09Speaker 4: You want to know something, Bro, I've never once any
- 2:39:12Speaker 4: season came into a season with goals. Never, never in
- 2:39:16Speaker 4: my life. Never.
- 2:39:19Speaker 14: I feel like, when you work hard on every day
- 2:39:23Speaker 14: and you literally give it everything you have, it's gonna
- 2:39:26Speaker 14: play out how it's supposed to. And if it don't,
- 2:39:29Speaker 14: I can at least live with it not playing the
- 2:39:31Speaker 14: highest sposal because I know I poured everything I had
- 2:39:34Speaker 14: into it. So I've never had goals Like It's to
- 2:39:36Speaker 14: the point where like even when I led the year
- 2:39:39Speaker 14: that that year in Russian, my teammates to tell me
- 2:39:41Speaker 14: where I'm at. I don't never know. I never look
- 2:39:44Speaker 14: at that ship, but I never really care. I'm always
- 2:39:46Speaker 14: big on just like wins and losses. He cared, he'll
- 2:39:49Speaker 14: talk about it. He'll talk about it.
- 2:39:52Speaker 4: Because he probably has got just took you out, you
- 2:39:56Speaker 4: know what I'm saying.
- 2:39:56Speaker 14: Like for me, I'm like, we won, but I don't
- 2:39:59Speaker 14: care about like when you even lost a lot. It's like
- 2:40:03Speaker 14: winning is literally I don't I don't too much care
- 2:40:05Speaker 14: about what it looked like. Obviously selfishly, I do want
- 2:40:09Speaker 14: to play good, and I do want to, you know,
- 2:40:11Speaker 14: be one of the guys every time, But I feel
- 2:40:14Speaker 14: like that take care of itself by just my day
- 2:40:16Speaker 14: to day habits and what I do on a daily basis.
- 2:40:20Speaker 1: It's crazy to me that you because I hear you talking,
- 2:40:23Speaker 1: I feel like matc Crosby has a very similar mindset
- 2:40:25Speaker 1: to you that you do. It's crazy that you guys
- 2:40:28Speaker 1: are on the same team and you guys couldn't make
- 2:40:31Speaker 1: something happen, bro, because you see you, you really you're
- 2:40:34Speaker 1: the head you have on your shoulders is incredible.
- 2:40:37Speaker 9: Bro.
- 2:40:37Speaker 14: When you going at Raiders Stadium, you're gonna see nine
- 2:40:41Speaker 14: to eight, You're gonna see two, eight, eight and seventeen.
- 2:40:45Speaker 4: I'm the only numbers you're gonna see.
- 2:40:47Speaker 14: So I'm like, if I'm one of the faces of
- 2:40:49Speaker 14: the franchise since I've came in, since I since my
- 2:40:53Speaker 14: rookie year, what's going on? Oh ye am four, you
- 2:40:57Speaker 14: gonna see Derek Carr. Soo, let me not add no,
- 2:40:59Speaker 14: let me not you don't forget about that. But but
- 2:41:03Speaker 14: I'm like, so yeah, bro, I mean Max. What makes
- 2:41:08Speaker 14: Max great is because honestly, I've never seen nobody ever
- 2:41:13Speaker 14: like him, And that's just me being like from the.
- 2:41:18Speaker 4: Mentally, he gotta be off, like you gotta be a
- 2:41:20Speaker 4: little fucked up to play football. I'ma just be real
- 2:41:22Speaker 4: because what we do is dumb as hell.
- 2:41:24Speaker 14: Like we run, We run full speed at each other
- 2:41:26Speaker 14: and we hit each other like the fun we're doing it,
- 2:41:28Speaker 14: but like like literally like but literally like the way
- 2:41:34Speaker 14: he approached the game, the way I've seen him go
- 2:41:37Speaker 14: from being a little tubby to being toned up with
- 2:41:42Speaker 14: tattoos and shit, And you're like, damn this, mother, who
- 2:41:44Speaker 14: is this?
- 2:41:45Speaker 4: Who is this?
- 2:41:45Speaker 14: But his worth ethic when I say you see how
- 2:41:50Speaker 14: he played on Sundays, When I say he does that,
- 2:41:53Speaker 14: he can fuck up a whole practice, Like he's one
- 2:41:55Speaker 14: of them guys that you gotta be all right, you
- 2:41:57Speaker 14: gotta take Max out like you can't let him, you
- 2:41:59Speaker 14: can't let him fuck up the whole practice. He's just
- 2:42:02Speaker 14: such of a difference maker. I've never seen nobody like it.
- 2:42:05Speaker 14: The only guy that I can honestly compare him to
- 2:42:08Speaker 14: is ab which is crazy, but it's the truth. Antonio
- 2:42:12Speaker 14: Brown had that same work at it. Whenever you practice
- 2:42:14Speaker 14: and shiit like every rout one hundred percent hmm, come
- 2:42:18Speaker 14: back to the ball. Never dropped the pass like Max
- 2:42:22Speaker 14: gut all intellig was, Bro, he gonna be great just
- 2:42:24Speaker 14: because it just because of that alone.
- 2:42:26Speaker 4: And he knowed to play the game too. He definitely
- 2:42:29Speaker 4: know how to play the game.
- 2:42:29Speaker 14: He's smart when it comes when it comes to you know,
- 2:42:32Speaker 14: on the field, in off the field shit. But man,
- 2:42:36Speaker 14: that's why I feel like, yeah, Max, like I said, Bro,
- 2:42:40Speaker 14: I got too much praise for him because he's just
- 2:42:42Speaker 14: one of them dudes.
- 2:42:43Speaker 4: I've never seen nothing like it.
- 2:42:44Speaker 1: You brought him up. But what was your experience like
- 2:42:46Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown? Was that your rookie year, rookiear So
- 2:42:50Speaker 1: that had to be the craziest.
- 2:42:51Speaker 14: Because it's the first time I ever told this story
- 2:42:54Speaker 14: on interview. You remember the whole time he was like
- 2:42:58Speaker 14: free me. Remember when in the whole video free a
- 2:43:01Speaker 14: B Free Me, Grandma. I was right next to him
- 2:43:04Speaker 14: at his house. I got a beat here on my
- 2:43:08Speaker 14: phone right now. I swear, I'll swear everything I love,
- 2:43:11Speaker 14: I love. We was free styling my first time ever
- 2:43:16Speaker 14: pulling up to his house. This is when this ship
- 2:43:19Speaker 14: was going on.
- 2:43:19Speaker 4: You feel me. He was free styling and we're sitting
- 2:43:23Speaker 4: there and he got the car.
- 2:43:25Speaker 14: You know, he got the cry on all that ship
- 2:43:27Speaker 14: that's before he that was before he burned his feet
- 2:43:29Speaker 14: and ship it's like after right his feet, so like
- 2:43:34Speaker 14: he got to pull the ship. He and one thing
- 2:43:36Speaker 14: I will say, like I say, he worked his ass off.
- 2:43:38Speaker 14: We was there he in the back in the back
- 2:43:40Speaker 14: of his yard catching hundred passes on the jugs, catching him.
- 2:43:44Speaker 14: Then he talked to his grandma seat and he was like, Grandma,
- 2:43:48Speaker 14: this is what I'm thinking, and I don't want to leave.
- 2:43:51Speaker 14: And I tell people all the time, do I think
- 2:43:55Speaker 14: that he was wrong? No, I think he the way
- 2:43:59Speaker 14: he went about it was wrong, But the feeling that
- 2:44:04Speaker 14: he had he wasn't wrong. You know what I'm saying,
- 2:44:07Speaker 14: Like it's kind of hard to explain that unless you
- 2:44:10Speaker 14: really get into it. So like what I mean is
- 2:44:15Speaker 14: like why he was upset and the things that he
- 2:44:17Speaker 14: was upset about.
- 2:44:19Speaker 4: He was one hundred percent right to be.
- 2:44:22Speaker 14: Upset about him, but how he handled it, I think
- 2:44:26Speaker 14: it was one hundred percent wrong.
- 2:44:28Speaker 2: What were the things that he was upset about? Because
- 2:44:30Speaker 2: there are a few things that kind of happened.
- 2:44:32Speaker 1: I know one that six out was like he was helmet.
- 2:44:34Speaker 14: He was mad about because he couldn't worries him and
- 2:44:37Speaker 14: no more because he worried it's like it went outdated
- 2:44:39Speaker 14: or something like that.
- 2:44:40Speaker 4: He couldn't worry.
- 2:44:41Speaker 14: He burnt his feet and he was mad because he
- 2:44:44Speaker 14: wanted to do like he was doing, like training, but
- 2:44:47Speaker 14: they wanted him to do it like you know with
- 2:44:49Speaker 14: the He like, I want to see the best people.
- 2:44:51Speaker 14: I can't fucking walk and like you know, so like
- 2:44:53Speaker 14: that was the thing. And then him and Mayock had
- 2:44:56Speaker 14: a conversation.
- 2:44:57Speaker 2: Is that the cracker thing?
- 2:45:00Speaker 14: They had a conversation. I'm not gonna get into what
- 2:45:04Speaker 14: was said, Alawa said. Alawa said, on both on both ends,
- 2:45:10Speaker 14: you feel me so like I think that like the
- 2:45:14Speaker 14: way he was feeling. Basically he was saying, really what
- 2:45:16Speaker 14: it came down to us, They threatened to take his
- 2:45:19Speaker 14: money and so he was arguing, like to keep his money.
- 2:45:24Speaker 4: So I was like, I understand what you're saying, like
- 2:45:27Speaker 4: you And.
- 2:45:28Speaker 14: The craziest thing about ab Bro he would be the
- 2:45:31Speaker 14: guy in the meetings that would be on his phone
- 2:45:33Speaker 14: the whole time and everybody know he on his phone,
- 2:45:35Speaker 14: and ain't nobody gonna say nothing, But he go out
- 2:45:37Speaker 14: and practice and never fuck up a play, like I swear, Bro,
- 2:45:41Speaker 14: like he was just different, you feel me, but like
- 2:45:45Speaker 14: he was going through that, he was they were trying
- 2:45:46Speaker 14: to take his money. They was trying to take some
- 2:45:47Speaker 14: of his guarantees and shit, and he was like basically
- 2:45:51Speaker 14: going back and forth with him and like that whole
- 2:45:53Speaker 14: little thing.
- 2:45:54Speaker 4: And I think that the people he had around him.
- 2:45:55Speaker 14: I don't know if the people still around him, but
- 2:45:57Speaker 14: he had too many guys that were just willing to
- 2:45:59Speaker 14: tell him what ever he wanted to hear. And I remember,
- 2:46:03Speaker 14: like I said, we was literally freestyling and he got
- 2:46:06Speaker 14: that call and he on the phone and he called
- 2:46:08Speaker 14: his grandma and all that stuff, and I remember and
- 2:46:10Speaker 14: I was like, he was like, I got thirty million
- 2:46:13Speaker 14: in the bank right now, Like I don't. I'm like,
- 2:46:17Speaker 14: first off, why do you got thirty million just sitting
- 2:46:20Speaker 14: in the bank. Do something with that money? But That's
- 2:46:24Speaker 14: what I was thinking of. But I'm like, he's not,
- 2:46:27Speaker 14: he's not. He's not necessarily wrong for how he feels,
- 2:46:30Speaker 14: but he's he's wrong, but how he went about it.
- 2:46:33Speaker 14: And that was my perspective on the outside looking in.
- 2:46:37Speaker 14: But I remember Bro, like the whole freemi and then
- 2:46:39Speaker 14: the video came out. Bro, the dude, the dude that
- 2:46:42Speaker 14: made the video was there.
- 2:46:43Speaker 4: The whole time. He was following around every bro. The
- 2:46:46Speaker 4: ship was crazy. I think I can probably pull up
- 2:46:49Speaker 4: the freestyle of my phone. I'm not even lying, but
- 2:46:52Speaker 4: I'm not even talking. Let me see if I can
- 2:46:53Speaker 4: part this ship.
- 2:46:54Speaker 2: Bro, Yo, that is so funny just picturing that video
- 2:46:57Speaker 2: from what I remember of it and thinking that Joshul
- 2:47:00Speaker 2: sitting there there being like, what the hell is going on?
- 2:47:03Speaker 6: Like?
- 2:47:04Speaker 4: Is this? I'm like, is this the NFL? Is this
- 2:47:07Speaker 4: what mockers do? Like That's what I'm like.
- 2:47:09Speaker 14: Bro, Like, what what in the hell is going on?
- 2:47:13Speaker 14: But let me sell you this, bro, I ain't even
- 2:47:14Speaker 14: gonna sell the whole video. I saw you right where
- 2:47:17Speaker 14: he was freestyling. You can hear his voice, and I'll
- 2:47:21Speaker 14: show you the date. I literally show you today and
- 2:47:23Speaker 14: you'd be like what the fuck.
- 2:47:30Speaker 1: While you're while you're finding that, it's like, Mike Tomlin
- 2:47:33Speaker 1: needs love for what he was able to do with
- 2:47:35Speaker 1: ab and all them.
- 2:47:43Speaker 4: Who who is that to back?
- 2:47:48Speaker 2: Crazy?
- 2:47:50Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I'm like, damn.
- 2:47:53Speaker 14: But then when he left, when he left though, two,
- 2:47:56Speaker 14: I ain't gonna lie. It was like good and bad.
- 2:48:00Speaker 14: Like obviously it was bad for our team because like shit,
- 2:48:02Speaker 14: he was the biggest, probably the best player on our team.
- 2:48:05Speaker 4: Uh, but like all the bullshit went out the window.
- 2:48:10Speaker 4: It was it was all like, okay, this is football,
- 2:48:12Speaker 4: like this is this is the league.
- 2:48:14Speaker 14: Everybody started liking in all the media and all that shit.
- 2:48:17Speaker 14: And we was on hard knocks too, so that was
- 2:48:18Speaker 14: another thing.
- 2:48:19Speaker 2: It was a lot. Yeah. But yeah, bro, because over
- 2:48:22Speaker 2: here too, like when I came in that year, that
- 2:48:24Speaker 2: he would have like the posse or his crew, they'd
- 2:48:26Speaker 2: be like in the locker roll, Yeah, rolling around the
- 2:48:30Speaker 2: building with Nazi. They might have trying to like train
- 2:48:33Speaker 2: after hours, like trying.
- 2:48:34Speaker 4: Yeah, just a lot of different.
- 2:48:36Speaker 14: So yeah, like I remember, I remember he came in
- 2:48:39Speaker 14: and when they brought him in, he was like, y'all
- 2:48:41Speaker 14: gotta find me on the private And then when he
- 2:48:44Speaker 14: got there, he was like, I'm not paying for this year.
- 2:48:46Speaker 4: They gotta pay for it. I swear Bro. I swear Bro.
- 2:48:52Speaker 2: But like one interesting optics.
- 2:48:54Speaker 4: He was just different.
- 2:48:55Speaker 1: Bro.
- 2:48:56Speaker 4: He was just different.
- 2:48:56Speaker 14: But like I say all the time, like nobody can
- 2:49:00Speaker 14: ever take away what he did on that field.
- 2:49:02Speaker 4: I don't care. I don't care. Nobody saying it. Bro.
- 2:49:05Speaker 4: You can you can get on the person the man
- 2:49:07Speaker 4: as much as as much as you care for or whatever.
- 2:49:10Speaker 4: But like on that field, it's not like him and Max, Him,
- 2:49:14Speaker 4: Max Tay. I ain't seen a lot like it, Like
- 2:49:17Speaker 4: nobody else like.
- 2:49:18Speaker 2: That Him Max and who bad.
- 2:49:25Speaker 1: But yeah, but like Antonio, think about Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, Ben, Roethlisberger, Councy,
- 2:49:31Speaker 1: all those personalities on one team, James Harrison, all those
- 2:49:35Speaker 1: guys on one team. Like Mike Tomlin needs to write
- 2:49:37Speaker 1: a book those years, dude. That makes him such a
- 2:49:42Speaker 1: good coach. And the fact that Steelers fans are like, hey,
- 2:49:44Speaker 1: Toma might have to leave. It's crazy every year they
- 2:49:48Speaker 1: like they gotta get him out of here. It's like
- 2:49:50Speaker 1: that is. I don't think there's another coach that can
- 2:49:52Speaker 1: handle personalities better than Mike Tomlin.
- 2:49:54Speaker 14: He has a lot of coaches don't even like when
- 2:49:56Speaker 14: you got any kind of personality for real, right so
- 2:49:59Speaker 14: you know, especially if you look off. But I mean
- 2:50:05Speaker 14: a b was just putting guys, Bro telling you one
- 2:50:08Speaker 14: of them animals, Bro, one of them guys. He made
- 2:50:11Speaker 14: me step up my my hell, and I'm not doing
- 2:50:12Speaker 14: enough for real.
- 2:50:16Speaker 2: For real, we appreciate you a uh JP, I know
- 2:50:20Speaker 2: you had a question. Oh you did, but the air
- 2:50:24Speaker 2: of the light oh yeah.
- 2:50:26Speaker 4: So oh yeah yeah, I know if you wanted me
- 2:50:29Speaker 4: to talk about it on here or not.
- 2:50:33Speaker 5: Just know each other.
- 2:50:35Speaker 14: So b little So he does streaming uh with a
- 2:50:40Speaker 14: guy named They actually just hit five million subscribers literally
- 2:50:45Speaker 14: last week. But it's a guy that I grew up with,
- 2:50:49Speaker 14: like probably literally since like fourth fifth grade. I known
- 2:50:52Speaker 14: him middle school, high school, went to high school together
- 2:50:55Speaker 14: and everything. Stay cool like I was just on a
- 2:50:58Speaker 14: on a pod not too long ago. But cool people, bro.
- 2:51:02Speaker 14: And it's crazy because he went to school, he went
- 2:51:05Speaker 14: to he played a t U University play receiver. He
- 2:51:08Speaker 14: was good, bro, but never really got a chance, you know,
- 2:51:11Speaker 14: like one of those situations. But man, he's doing his
- 2:51:14Speaker 14: thing now. That's my dog, isn't It's crazy? You just
- 2:51:17Speaker 14: say five million subscribers somebody you grew up with, bro.
- 2:51:20Speaker 14: And the funniest part about it is when you when
- 2:51:23Speaker 14: you leave here, just look up his videos.
- 2:51:25Speaker 4: How he acts on them videos.
- 2:51:26Speaker 14: It's one hundred percent how he is literally like he's
- 2:51:31Speaker 14: always been, Like we've been in class. I'll be like, Bro,
- 2:51:32Speaker 14: I cannot be in class with him, want to get
- 2:51:34Speaker 14: in trouble every time. Just just too funny. It's too funny,
- 2:51:38Speaker 14: bro like, Yeah, he was always that guy for sure.
- 2:51:40Speaker 2: Does anybody have anything for Josh for we wrap up?
- 2:51:49Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 2:51:53Speaker 2: He said that's up. So what Jack saying is Garrett Hargins.
- 2:51:56Speaker 2: He said, you guys shared the same birthday, by the way,
- 2:51:58Speaker 2: so he says, you guys are practically blood. He's a
- 2:52:00Speaker 2: massive Bama fan, so he was. He was bummed to
- 2:52:03Speaker 2: miss this interview.
- 2:52:05Speaker 4: I don't have no problems with him being the Tennessee fan.
- 2:52:08Speaker 4: I never lost to them.
- 2:52:08Speaker 14: Smoked a lot of smoke as.
- 2:52:14Speaker 1: Before you go, how much did you ever get paid
- 2:52:16Speaker 1: of Alabama?
- 2:52:16Speaker 12: Bro?
- 2:52:17Speaker 4: Believe it or not? Nothing.
- 2:52:19Speaker 1: Believe it or I don't believe it.
- 2:52:20Speaker 4: You don't.
- 2:52:21Speaker 14: I wish I did, But I swear about Hey, I
- 2:52:24Speaker 14: believe him. I swear I wish.
- 2:52:30Speaker 1: That makes sense. Dereck Henry tried to tell me he
- 2:52:32Speaker 1: never got money.
- 2:52:32Speaker 4: So, Bro, the thing about the thing about Bamah Boster
- 2:52:36Speaker 4: did he get paid?
- 2:52:37Speaker 2: Oh, I have no clue.
- 2:52:38Speaker 14: I know he's trying to tell you about the thing
- 2:52:40Speaker 14: about Bama is same. He used to say it all
- 2:52:42Speaker 14: the time, he was like, I want to pay y'all,
- 2:52:44Speaker 14: but he was like, we are literally under the microscope.
- 2:52:47Speaker 14: He was like, so everything we doing is getting judged.
- 2:52:51Speaker 14: He said he wasn't willing to risk it. So if
- 2:52:53Speaker 14: people was getting paid, it.
- 2:52:55Speaker 4: Was not from him.
- 2:52:56Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.
- 2:52:58Speaker 4: I tell you that.
- 2:53:01Speaker 1: Do you think Alabama is going to be back?
- 2:53:04Speaker 4: I think I don't figure it out. Yeah, I think
- 2:53:06Speaker 4: I don't figure it out. Someday I think they're gonna
- 2:53:09Speaker 4: figure it out.
- 2:53:10Speaker 14: I think I think the coach needs two of the
- 2:53:11Speaker 14: three years to like really like implement what he what
- 2:53:15Speaker 14: he believe in and his coaching style.
- 2:53:17Speaker 4: I think also, well, just.
- 2:53:19Speaker 14: From what I've heard from you know ah and you
- 2:53:23Speaker 14: know some of the guys that's that's been back is
- 2:53:25Speaker 14: it's just a different group of guys, you know, like
- 2:53:29Speaker 14: from the work they think everybody complaining and do you
- 2:53:31Speaker 14: know n I l and transfer, you know, like saving
- 2:53:35Speaker 14: Like when I was in school, you had to you
- 2:53:39Speaker 14: had to almost work and play. You couldn't be like
- 2:53:41Speaker 14: I'm mad and want to leave because you would have
- 2:53:43Speaker 14: to sit out, you know what I'm saying, Like now
- 2:53:45Speaker 14: you could just go play, like it's making the job
- 2:53:49Speaker 14: of a coach very hard because it's almost like you
- 2:53:51Speaker 14: can't discipline guys how you want to, because it's just different.
- 2:53:55Speaker 14: It's just different now. So and I think that they
- 2:53:58Speaker 14: told me something like that average guy Bama makes like
- 2:54:02Speaker 14: three hundred thousand, and that's the ones that don't even play.
- 2:54:05Speaker 2: Yeah. We were, yeah, we were hearing the same things
- 2:54:08Speaker 2: and mission, Yeah, would you imagine getting your scholarship check?
- 2:54:11Speaker 2: Like I want to say, the floor CB was telling us, like,
- 2:54:15Speaker 2: you know, you could have somebody that's that doesn't do anything,
- 2:54:18Speaker 2: they might get sixty grand. Yeah, could you imagine getting
- 2:54:20Speaker 2: your scholarship check of whatever that was and then getting
- 2:54:23Speaker 2: an extra five thousand dollars a month just from nil bro?
- 2:54:27Speaker 1: And that's somebody who's making it's.
- 2:54:28Speaker 4: Not gonna live Bro.
- 2:54:29Speaker 9: Three.
- 2:54:30Speaker 14: I had I remember, I remember I had, like, you know,
- 2:54:33Speaker 14: your fast one hit come in and I had like
- 2:54:36Speaker 14: three thousand.
- 2:54:37Speaker 4: I thought that was a lot of money. The pale Grande,
- 2:54:39Speaker 4: the pale grand I'm like, Bro, I'm like, yeah, I
- 2:54:41Speaker 4: got a lot of money. US three thousand, you times
- 2:54:44Speaker 4: are by ten. That's crazy, Bro.
- 2:54:46Speaker 14: I don't think that nobody at that age is really
- 2:54:49Speaker 14: mentally or like prepared for that type of money, like
- 2:54:52Speaker 14: I think, I know, right, Do I think that they
- 2:54:54Speaker 14: should be getting paid, Yes, But what I think is
- 2:54:57Speaker 14: the way that they should structured the way that kids
- 2:54:59Speaker 14: get pa should be different. I think that like, you
- 2:55:03Speaker 14: shall only get a certain amount and then the rest
- 2:55:06Speaker 14: you get either when you leave or when you graduate,
- 2:55:09Speaker 14: and do it that way instead of giving all these
- 2:55:11Speaker 14: kids all.
- 2:55:12Speaker 4: This money to try and protect them, because not.
- 2:55:15Speaker 14: Only not only are you protecting them from their selves,
- 2:55:18Speaker 14: but you protecting them from everybody else too. I think
- 2:55:21Speaker 14: about how many stories we've heard about people's families taking
- 2:55:24Speaker 14: their money or you know, people getting caught up in
- 2:55:26Speaker 14: the wrong things and losing their money that way. And
- 2:55:29Speaker 14: you're telling me, I'm seventeen years old and I've come
- 2:55:32Speaker 14: from nothing, and you're gonna give me this amount of money.
- 2:55:35Speaker 4: I'm not gonna know what to do it right.
- 2:55:37Speaker 14: And then my first thing to do is do the
- 2:55:39Speaker 14: things that I always grew up and thought that I
- 2:55:41Speaker 14: seen was having money.
- 2:55:43Speaker 4: I'm gonna go get a car, I'm gonna get some.
- 2:55:44Speaker 14: Jewelry like things that really, you ain't even got that
- 2:55:49Speaker 14: type of money to be doing that type of things
- 2:55:50Speaker 14: that early. You know what I'm saying like, it's just
- 2:55:53Speaker 14: I don't think that that's I don't think that the
- 2:55:55Speaker 14: way that they structured it is smart. And the thing
- 2:55:58Speaker 14: that I would say about saving I don't know if
- 2:55:59Speaker 14: they still do it.
- 2:56:00Speaker 4: At Bama.
- 2:56:01Speaker 14: That was the best thing beneficial for me was when
- 2:56:05Speaker 14: you're a freshman, they make you take broadcasting classes and
- 2:56:08Speaker 14: they make you take financial literacy classes. It was like
- 2:56:11Speaker 14: mandatory for everybody, and it taught me because I'm like, shit,
- 2:56:14Speaker 14: I ain't know nothing about credit. I know nothing about
- 2:56:17Speaker 14: none of that shit. Like I literally learned all of
- 2:56:19Speaker 14: that in college, you know what I'm saying. So for me,
- 2:56:22Speaker 14: it was like without that, I would know. I don't
- 2:56:24Speaker 14: know if they still do that, But imagine me not
- 2:56:27Speaker 14: knowing that and then you friend, Yeah.
- 2:56:31Speaker 4: Like bro, I'm not gonna know what to do with it, Like, yeah,
- 2:56:33Speaker 4: that is wo Yeah.
