- 0:11Speaker 1: one priority, his pride and joy.
- 0:12Speaker 2: He cancels all of social social media.
- 0:15Speaker 1: He has logged off for the entire year because his

- 0:21Speaker 1: whether it be positive, negative, cheers, booze, doesn't fucking matter.
- 0:25Speaker 2: The boy is off the grid for the entire season.
- 0:27Speaker 1: However, he will be joining us, obviously not today in
- 0:30Speaker 1: this moment because again, training camp scheduling is a little
- 0:34Speaker 1: hit and miss, but he will still be joining the
- 0:36Speaker 1: boys during the season every Monday during the intro, which
- 0:41Speaker 1: I will get into what our scheduling is going to
- 0:42Speaker 1: look like this football season.
- 0:44Speaker 2: But he will still be on.

- 1:16Speaker 1: a little segment with our boy Jack in the back
- 1:19Speaker 1: like your boy Jack in the back. Chevy Silverado can
- 1:21Speaker 1: take you there and that story will start as as
- 1:24Speaker 1: soon as you take the wheel like the boy jackass.
- 1:26Speaker 2: There is a challenge going on.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Or if he tweets Rich Eisen every day with a
- 1:31Speaker 1: photo you guys might know Richison from the Richison Show
- 1:34Speaker 1: with the NFL.
- 1:35Speaker 3: He's with the NFL network, right, is that what the
- 1:39Speaker 3: NFL network? I believe.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I hate that I'm butchering it. If I am butchering it.
- 1:42Speaker 1: But also I don't guess. I don't care a whole
- 1:44Speaker 1: lot because he didn't know, he didn't know who I
- 1:46Speaker 1: was for the longest time. But as long as he
- 1:48Speaker 1: tweets a photo of Richison, because we're trying to get
- 1:50Speaker 1: Rich on the bus, as long as Jack in the
- 1:53Speaker 1: Back stays consistent each and every day with a photo
- 1:56Speaker 1: of rich Eisen until rich comes on the bus, doesn't matter.
- 1:59Speaker 1: We're own day, what Jack, We're on day seventy five
- 2:03Speaker 1: right now. It doesn't matter if it's day seventy eight
- 2:05Speaker 1: or day seven hundred and eighty two. If as long
- 2:08Speaker 1: as Jack stay's consistent throughout the entire time by posting
- 2:12Speaker 1: a photo, he is going to earn himself a Chevy Silverado,
- 2:15Speaker 1: possibly the Silverado ZR two that was built to tame
- 2:19Speaker 1: the trails as the most off road ready Silverado ever created.
- 2:23Speaker 1: And there are eight more Silverado models to choose from

- 3:19Speaker 1: Chevy Silverado. Now some house cleaning. We got some good
- 3:24Speaker 1: shit on the horizon.

- 3:50Speaker 1: is happening today, the back to School Summer Drop, which
- 3:54Speaker 1: has all of your back to school essentials. A couple
- 3:57Speaker 1: things I got right here next to me, But first
- 4:01Speaker 1: your essentials that you need going back to school. Listen
- 4:03Speaker 1: up right now, especially if you're in college. As long
- 4:06Speaker 1: as you're you know of age for some of these games.
- 4:09Speaker 1: But we are releasing a beer pong table. We are
- 4:12Speaker 1: releasing a corn hole set branded Busting with the Boys.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Everything you need at your tailgate, your backyard, your weekends,
- 4:20Speaker 1: your downtime from studying for school, because we know you
- 4:23Speaker 1: guys are gonna study hard. But we got what you need.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Beer pong table, branded Busting, corn hole set, Brandon Busting.
- 4:29Speaker 1: We also are dropping hats. The hat you are seeing
- 4:32Speaker 1: me wear right now, that's going to be dropped. Our
- 4:36Speaker 1: main le let me get out there on this. Our
- 4:39Speaker 1: main fan bas is that buy from Busting with the
- 4:41Speaker 1: Boys are biggest ones is Nebraska. I want to shout
- 4:46Speaker 1: them out first and foremost because you know the boy
- 4:48Speaker 1: he bleeds red, but also are homegrown Tennessee Titans. That
- 4:54Speaker 1: is where our origin story was created through the Titans fans.
- 4:57Speaker 1: The two tone blue. We got these bad boys in
- 4:59Speaker 1: oilers colors and they fuck, They absolutely fuck.
- 5:03Speaker 2: And then also you're seeing me.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Where the silver and black the Raiders last year really
- 5:08Speaker 1: jumped up on all of the sales. So those three
- 5:11Speaker 1: teams are getting the hats first. Now, if you are
- 5:15Speaker 1: a team that rep that wants to wrap your boys
- 5:17Speaker 1: and wants to see a drop hats and merchandise for
- 5:19Speaker 1: you guys. You have to be loud and fucking proud
- 5:22Speaker 1: on social media because think of me as a vessel
- 5:25Speaker 1: that's going to create you guys merch.
- 5:26Speaker 3: I want to make merch for all the boys.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I took a lot of heat last year for making
- 5:30Speaker 1: Bengals merch, but of course, your boy, I see the
- 5:32Speaker 1: bigger picture versus everybody else who lives in a box
- 5:35Speaker 1: and just wants us to do Titans gear. I took
- 5:38Speaker 1: a lot of heat, but essentially I want to make
- 5:40Speaker 1: gear for everybody out there to do. So you have
- 5:43Speaker 1: to be loud on social media because when I asked
- 5:46Speaker 1: the question, hey, can we guys enough reetweets, enough engagement
- 5:49Speaker 1: on something like this, and I drop a mock up
- 5:51Speaker 1: that our boy Garrett has created that is going to
- 5:55Speaker 1: prove that we need to sell that Because when I
- 5:57Speaker 1: go and stand on the table for barstool and pound
- 5:59Speaker 1: the fists to make it for this brand, that brand,
- 6:01Speaker 1: that fan base, that is what's going to be my
- 6:05Speaker 1: that is what's going to be my proof that we
- 6:06Speaker 1: will be able to sell in that market. So that
- 6:08Speaker 1: is the name of the game on merchandise. Now to
- 6:11Speaker 1: get to my favorite thing that we will be dropping
- 6:14Speaker 1: this year. Last year I sported this around absolutely everywhere,
- 6:19Speaker 1: real dingy. Just let you guys have blash. You can
- 6:22Speaker 1: zoom in a little bit on this. People can see
- 6:24Speaker 1: the wear and tear in the grittiness of this jacket,
- 6:27Speaker 1: just because we kept pretty much had it painted on.
- 6:30Speaker 1: I wore this jacket around everywhere and everywhere I went
- 6:34Speaker 1: people they wouldn't even know about busting with the boys.
- 6:36Speaker 1: And then we beg bro, that jacket is awesome. I
- 6:38Speaker 1: love when somebody who's working at whatever store they're working
- 6:43Speaker 1: at takes time, It takes a moment to say, yo,
- 6:45Speaker 1: I like that jacket.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Where'd you get it from?
- 6:47Speaker 1: And I, unfortunately would have to say this is a
- 6:49Speaker 1: one off and it's not for sale. But we got
- 6:51Speaker 1: so much traction just boots on the ground last year
- 6:55Speaker 1: that we were begging Barstool to make us a bomber jacket.
- 6:58Speaker 1: This is what it's called, right, It's called a bomber jacket.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Now I am excited to tell you guys that we
- 7:06Speaker 1: have gotten the green light to make these bomber jackets.
- 7:08Speaker 1: They're gonna be in red and navy blue. Is the
- 7:11Speaker 1: first wave, So Titans and Huskers, you guys are up first.
- 7:14Speaker 2: We're getting these made for you guys. Now.
- 7:16Speaker 1: If you get you can zoom in on this kind
- 7:17Speaker 1: of quality, blossy, this stitch. We got it stitched. This
- 7:22Speaker 1: is a Starter jacket, a collaboration with Starter. So they're warm,
- 7:27Speaker 1: they're comfortable, they're absolutely everything you fucking need in a
- 7:30Speaker 1: bomber jacket, dude. And we finally made them huge patch
- 7:33Speaker 1: on the back. If you're just listening and not seeing
- 7:35Speaker 1: this visual, it's if you're not for the boys, you're
- 7:38Speaker 1: against them. A massive patch on the back. We got
- 7:42Speaker 1: the boys on the front, stitched on the front. It's
- 7:44Speaker 1: all stitching, vintage looking starter jacket. We got them in
- 7:48Speaker 1: red and navy blue. That is our back to school release.
- 7:51Speaker 1: We got the hats, we got the bombers, we got
- 7:53Speaker 1: the beer punk tables, and we got the cornhole. Before
- 7:57Speaker 1: we move forward, if you're somebody, if you're also like
- 8:00Speaker 1: thinking about this on the way over, we have a Hey,
- 8:03Speaker 1: it's we're gonna have a big.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Run of appause right right here.
- 8:06Speaker 1: But in the last several months since we've been doing
- 8:08Speaker 1: the Bust and Spring Torn everything else, we have.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Essentially doubled our audience. That is huge, that's massive. With that,
- 8:15Speaker 2: I was.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Thinking like, maybe there's some people who tune in that
- 8:18Speaker 1: are newer to the show. And if you guys are
- 8:21Speaker 1: familiar with Busting with the Boys, if you're here for
- 8:23Speaker 1: the interview, you'll probably just need to fast forward about
- 8:26Speaker 1: just skip to like the thirty minute mark or something,
- 8:28Speaker 1: and you might get lucky by getting on the interview
- 8:31Speaker 1: if you're here for the particular interview, if you're here
- 8:33Speaker 1: to join the Busting with the Boys fan base, become
- 8:36Speaker 1: a tier one, you start off as a Tier three,
- 8:38Speaker 1: you make your way up to a Tier two to

- 8:43Speaker 1: myself and Taylor, we bring the locker room to life
- 8:46Speaker 1: with some good old fashioned locker room talk, some banter,
- 8:49Speaker 1: some humor, some storytelling with our guests, peeling the onion back,

- 12:57Speaker 1: Uh, you guys can check out we I said, we've
- 13:00Speaker 1: interviewed Aaron Rodgers. As a matter of fact, as you
- 13:02Speaker 1: listened today, the boys a part of my taker in
- 13:04Speaker 1: the middle of Grit Week, had a phenomenal interview with
- 13:06Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I thought it was really funny, big cat pft.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Those boys are fucking hilarious. However, they were in their
- 13:12Speaker 1: theme of Grit Week and we see them sit in
- 13:16Speaker 1: nice comfort of AC cameras getting set up form nice polos.
- 13:20Speaker 1: They stayed clean, not sweaty the entire time and made
- 13:22Speaker 1: me think that the boys were pretty fucking gritty.
- 13:25Speaker 2: In Green Bay.
- 13:26Speaker 1: There was no access to a c If we did,
- 13:28Speaker 1: it was way too loud. If we plugged in too
- 13:30Speaker 1: many wires at once, the fucking it wouldn't work. The
- 13:32Speaker 1: little thing on the outlet would the light would go red,
- 13:36Speaker 1: so nothing would work. But yeah, we were bricking Lambeau.
- 13:39Speaker 1: How we couldn't access all the power, I have no clue,
- 13:43Speaker 1: but we were sweating the entire time, from eight in
- 13:46Speaker 1: the morning until what was it three or four in
- 13:49Speaker 1: the afternoon.
- 13:50Speaker 2: We're at Green Bay.
- 13:51Speaker 1: No food in us the entire time because we got
- 13:54Speaker 1: pretty full the night before by eating the cheese curds
- 13:57Speaker 1: and the Asian cuisine at the casino. We had a
- 13:59Speaker 1: great time, some money, but it's all good. But we
- 14:02Speaker 1: had no food that entire day until after we got
- 14:05Speaker 1: done at like four pm, and I was drinking on
- 14:08Speaker 1: coffee in the morning, which.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Had me like coffee, caffeine can give me anxiety.
- 14:13Speaker 1: And when it was just us out there because we're
- 14:14Speaker 1: still in the stage of like how these guys get
- 14:16Speaker 1: in here. We're not like we're walking in, Oh, all
- 14:19Speaker 1: these these dudes are coming in. We're not professional looking,
- 14:22Speaker 1: Like you turn the camera around, like that's pretty much
- 14:24Speaker 1: what all of us were wearing walking in, Like, yeah,
- 14:26Speaker 1: that's our bus right there. But the anxiety getting lafleur
- 14:30Speaker 1: and having five interviews in one day and knowing that
- 14:33Speaker 1: I didn't it's hard to do a lot of research
- 14:35Speaker 1: on everybody. Then we had the twenty minute time crunch
- 14:38Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, which gave me a lot of anxiety.
- 14:41Speaker 1: The boys grinded, We sweated our ass off the entire time.
- 14:44Speaker 1: We got better we got closer as a unit. We're
- 14:46Speaker 1: gonna be rooting for Green Bay. I think this season,
- 14:48Speaker 1: especially on the NFC East or NFC side of everything.
- 14:51Speaker 1: They're in the NFC what North. I don't even know
- 14:53Speaker 1: why I was say in NFC East. I think that's
- 14:55Speaker 1: just the old Washington commander and the boy. But a
- 15:00Speaker 1: lot of good shit coming out of Green Bay. It's
- 15:02Speaker 1: the reason we're gonna go to two a week because
- 15:04Speaker 1: we had a lot of cool interviews. I'm really fired
- 15:06Speaker 1: up for you guys to listen to the Lafleur and
- 15:08Speaker 1: Bisaccia one. That's probably the one I'm fired up most
- 15:11Speaker 1: for Preston Smith, AJ Dillon and Bachtiari phenomenal locker room
- 15:16Speaker 1: banter talk right there. That's that's the locker room I
- 15:19Speaker 1: feel like coming to life. Some good would you rather?
- 15:21Speaker 1: I can think you're taking the ask some good would
- 15:23Speaker 1: you rather? Some good tear talk, a lot of fun,
- 15:25Speaker 1: a lot of laught Aaron like within the time corunch
- 15:28Speaker 1: of twenty minutes. It was fucking It was tough figuring
- 15:30Speaker 1: out what I wanted to be in that episode because
- 15:33Speaker 1: I just listened to the Aubrey Marcus podcast. Rob Tunyan
- 15:36Speaker 1: was co hosting with me, his first time ever co hosting.
- 15:38Speaker 1: But I wasn't able to talk to him beforehand because
- 15:40Speaker 1: he's obviously in training game and getting ready for the season.
- 15:43Speaker 1: You have aaron on that has eighteen years seventeen years
- 15:45Speaker 1: of playing in the league, and so you're trying to
- 15:47Speaker 1: find your way through, like all right, hopefully he doesn't
- 15:49Speaker 1: talk too long on this one. Should I ask this question?
- 15:51Speaker 1: Should I ask that question? But a very successful trip.
- 15:55Speaker 1: We went to Family Night, We got treated up in
- 15:57Speaker 1: the press box. What's Matt's last name?
- 16:00Speaker 2: Do we know?
- 16:01Speaker 1: Starts with an ass a beat writer And I hate
- 16:05Speaker 1: that I'm butchering that because because he always gives us
- 16:08Speaker 1: love on all of like anything. Green Bay asking Bisaccia
- 16:11Speaker 1: Lafleur if they're going to bring in playoff Willy for
- 16:13Speaker 1: a year ten Matt Schneidman shout out the boy, Matt Schnidman,
- 16:17Speaker 1: and uh, we got treated well, man, it was It
- 16:19Speaker 1: was a good time. Do you guys, would you guys
- 16:22Speaker 1: concur would you guys agree with all that? We had
- 16:23Speaker 1: a lot of fun.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Garrett and I. We had the door who.
- 16:27Speaker 2: That could be a shutout? No, for sure, we had the.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Door in between the rooms where we got to kind of,
- 16:32Speaker 1: you know, hang out. The boy cashed out on you
- 16:34Speaker 1: guys late at night in the jacuzzi life.
- 16:37Speaker 2: But would you guys agree that it was a great
- 16:39Speaker 2: It was a great time.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Yeah, phenomenal time.
- 16:43Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to spend too much time in Green
- 16:45Speaker 4: Bay outside of football season, no doubt, take a place
- 16:47Speaker 4: you'd maybe want to kill yourself. We we talked about
- 16:52Speaker 4: it on Twitter. The population in Green Bay about one
- 16:55Speaker 4: hundred and four thousand. The capacity of Lambeau Fields about
- 16:58Speaker 4: eighty so thousands. So so, I mean we like to
- 17:01Speaker 4: think basically the entire town is at the game every
- 17:05Speaker 4: single Sunday. They had about fifty or sixty thousand people.
- 17:08Speaker 4: They're just watching a practice. I mean, they fucking die
- 17:11Speaker 4: for ball in Lambeau. There's not much else to die
- 17:14Speaker 4: for there, but they die for ball. And they's took
- 17:16Speaker 4: good care of us. We had a good time.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 17:18Speaker 1: And you said it too, like the entire town like
- 17:20Speaker 1: it is a town vibe, Like the main street you
- 17:24Speaker 1: grew up on in the small town, Like that is
- 17:27Speaker 1: what is right outside of Lambeau Field. You think you're
- 17:29Speaker 1: like driving through, you're hitting a couple stop lives. You're seeing,
- 17:32Speaker 1: you know, where you're seeing where people live, and you're
- 17:34Speaker 1: kind of looking around. The next thing you know, Lambo's
- 17:35Speaker 1: right in front of you. Like it was a it's
- 17:37Speaker 1: a cool place, but you're right, it's not somewhere you'd
- 17:39Speaker 1: want to live. I don't think all year round, no
- 17:41Speaker 1: slight at everybody who lives in Green Bay. But at
- 17:43Speaker 1: the same time, like that was fucking tough, or it
- 17:47Speaker 1: would be fucking tough to live there for a long
- 17:50Speaker 1: amount of time.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Update with the boy, Taylor.
- 17:52Speaker 1: He wanted me to send you his best wishes coming
- 17:55Speaker 1: out of training camp. We talk and it's like you
- 17:58Speaker 1: can just tell every time we get on the phone.
- 18:01Speaker 1: We just we want to talk about so much, but
- 18:04Speaker 1: we know we have like probably in a lotted amount
- 18:07Speaker 1: of time or like, man, come over my house, let's
- 18:09Speaker 1: do this, Let's do that. We just know we can't
- 18:10Speaker 1: do because he's got the training camp stuff going on.
- 18:13Speaker 1: I got stuff with the boys, Like we kind of
- 18:14Speaker 1: just miss each other on his off day and then
- 18:18Speaker 1: he wants to hang out, like he wanted to hang
- 18:20Speaker 1: out because for the Baltimore like around the Baltimore game
- 18:23Speaker 1: one of his off days. But I was like, oh,
- 18:24Speaker 1: I'm going We're going on a family vacation. But you
- 18:26Speaker 1: can just tell, like the boy, he misses being on
- 18:28Speaker 1: the bus. He misses everybody out there listening. He wanted
- 18:31Speaker 1: me to give you his best. He would have been
- 18:33Speaker 1: fired up at Green Bay. I think we would have
- 18:35Speaker 1: had a lot of fun with me, him, air and
- 18:37Speaker 1: everybody who came on the bus. The boy has been
- 18:42Speaker 1: grinding and sticking to his routine, waking up at five
- 18:45Speaker 1: thirty in the morning, working out beforehand, he claims.
- 18:48Speaker 3: And I believe him.
- 18:49Speaker 1: I can tell it by the the commitment in his
- 18:52Speaker 1: voice and the passion in his voice. When he's been
- 18:55Speaker 1: at the hotel, he's out by eight o'clock. He's getting like,
- 18:58Speaker 1: what is that? Almost ten hours of sleep if you
- 19:01Speaker 1: add it all up and do it right. But he's clicking, bro.
- 19:05Speaker 1: He says, he hasn't been in the the extra cookies
- 19:08Speaker 1: laying around. He's like dialed in and he feels really good.
- 19:12Speaker 1: As far to say, I would go as far to
- 19:15Speaker 1: say as not to put wards in his mouth or
- 19:17Speaker 1: anything anything else, but maybe his best start to a camp.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Yet.
- 19:21Speaker 1: The boy's fired up. He's in very good spirits. He
- 19:24Speaker 1: misses us dearly. He can't wait to get back on.
- 19:26Speaker 1: And by the way, I think you guys got that
- 19:28Speaker 1: voice message. He's gonna do the intro for next week.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Your boy's going to Hawaii for a family vacation. Me,
- 19:33Speaker 1: the wife, and our little girl roue get a little
- 19:36Speaker 1: family vacation until the sixteenth of August. So from the
- 19:38Speaker 1: tenth to sixteenth, your boy's gonna be out being a
- 19:41Speaker 1: little island boy, and h Taylor's gonna be doing the
- 19:44Speaker 1: intro for next week.
- 19:46Speaker 2: And so but all to say, like Taylor loves.
- 19:49Speaker 1: And misses you, and he said big hugs, tiny kisses,
- 19:52Speaker 1: and yeah, hiring two new people. The search is getting
- 19:58Speaker 1: The search is getting dwindled down for everybody who has
- 20:00Speaker 1: searched back for me. That's a good thing. Where all
- 20:03Speaker 1: you guys are on a short list. I went through
- 20:04Speaker 1: probably over three hundred emails and resumez and shit have
- 20:08Speaker 1: you guys filtered in from content creators and social media people.

- 24:44Speaker 4: going to the Boys in two tone Blue this Thursday,
- 24:48Speaker 4: even though it's preseason. This Thursday, the Titans are taking
- 24:52Speaker 4: on the Baltimore Ravens in the first game. Robert Eam
- 24:55Speaker 4: and I heard on the radio the Baltimore Ravens have
- 24:58Speaker 4: not lost a preseason game in five five years.
- 25:00Speaker 3: So they're twenty deep twenty and oh in preseason. Mark
- 25:04Speaker 3: my fucking words.
- 25:05Speaker 4: The Titans are taking that fucking trophy away from them.
- 25:08Speaker 4: The Boys in two tone Blue are coming back. We're
- 25:11Speaker 4: so close for about a month from the actual season.
- 25:13Speaker 4: What is it Today is Monday, the hold on the eighth,
- 25:18Speaker 4: so we got almost thirty days. So football is so
- 25:21Speaker 4: fucking back. I'm just so juiced about it. I know
- 25:24Speaker 4: everyone here is we're gonna get into a huge grind.
- 25:27Speaker 4: We got a lot of work to do this season,
- 25:29Speaker 4: and I mean it's an uphill battle for us and
- 25:32Speaker 4: the Boys in Blue. But man like, I'm getting chills
- 25:35Speaker 4: right now just thinking about that first Sunday, sitting on
- 25:38Speaker 4: the couch, Twitter open for eleven hours straight. I mean,
- 25:41Speaker 4: there's nothing better. The falls come in, the weather's getting
- 25:43Speaker 4: a little cooler.

- 26:06Speaker 4: Why so yes to the boys in Blue.
- 26:10Speaker 3: The Ravens are fucked.

- 26:17Speaker 1: whoever the Titans roll out as starters or who they're
- 26:19Speaker 1: gonna sit and play whatnot. Vrabel is in there right
- 26:22Speaker 1: now preaching that they're undefeated, that they've went twenty in
- 26:24Speaker 1: a row, and that is a team key. No matter
- 26:27Speaker 1: who's out on that field, them boys are gonna be
- 26:28Speaker 1: competing their ass off like it's the fucking super Bowl.
- 26:31Speaker 1: And we got to bring some old content out for

- 27:24Speaker 6: you meet somebody for the first time and you immediately
- 27:26Speaker 6: have just like fire dap where the connection where you
- 27:30Speaker 6: both like bring it in come out. It's like, hey,
- 27:33Speaker 6: that's that was kind of the way we.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Were in rhythm on hitting that middle finger to that
- 27:37Speaker 1: little lock that we do. Sorry, I apologize for taking away.

- 27:43Speaker 6: so I couldn't even see y'all, and I just heard
- 27:44Speaker 6: it and then I heard the ooh.
- 27:46Speaker 3: I was like, hey, hey, that was a good one.
- 27:48Speaker 3: That's a shout out right there. So yeah, that's my
- 27:51Speaker 3: my shadow.
- 27:52Speaker 2: That's a good one. That's a solid one.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
- 27:55Speaker 7: To add on that though, to add on that, when
- 27:57Speaker 7: you do pop like dab somebody up and the pop
- 28:00Speaker 7: is so loud and it.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Echoes, that's true friendship, all right.
- 28:07Speaker 7: My shout out, no free shout out of the week
- 28:10Speaker 7: is when you're driving on the interstate. Maybe it's a
- 28:14Speaker 7: road trip. You know, you're driving, you might get a
- 28:17Speaker 7: little hungry. You're checking the signs to see what kind
- 28:21Speaker 7: of foods on the exit sign?
- 28:23Speaker 2: Talk to me.
- 28:24Speaker 7: You know, you're like, ah, that that sign wasn't really
- 28:26Speaker 7: hitting it for me. Oh my, that sign wasn't really
- 28:32Speaker 7: doing it for me. Maybe one or two options talking
- 28:34Speaker 7: naughty boy. So you're like, damn, do I risk and
- 28:38Speaker 7: push to the next exit. So my shout out, no
- 28:41Speaker 7: free shout out is taking that risk in the next
- 28:44Speaker 7: exit sign, having endless options of food, mostly bad for you,
- 28:49Speaker 7: but there's hell options.
- 28:52Speaker 2: I didn't know if wh they go with clap or this?
- 28:54Speaker 2: Now that was fire, bro, that was fire.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
- 29:01Speaker 1: I thought today, like, you know, get into good headspace
- 29:04Speaker 1: and just have just endless energy. So that's what made
- 29:07Speaker 1: me want to hit that split right there. He needless
- 29:12Speaker 1: to say, I'm a little horny right now.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Oh hey, I think I got a good one.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Boys, I shouldn't have started with that. I need to
- 29:22Speaker 2: like let it build up.
- 29:23Speaker 1: But my shout out, no free shout out of the
- 29:25Speaker 1: week goes to true athleticism. As you get older and
- 29:30Speaker 1: you can't play sports anymore in life.
- 29:32Speaker 3: There are a couple.
- 29:35Speaker 1: There are a couple things that you can do to
- 29:39Speaker 1: test your athletic ability to see if you still have it.
- 29:42Speaker 1: In my opinion, this is one of them. When you
- 29:45Speaker 1: are in your garage and your car is sitting outside.
- 29:48Speaker 1: You got the car out and you got to close
- 29:49Speaker 1: that garage door, and you're sitting deep in your garage
- 29:52Speaker 1: by the door, and you think to yourself, all right,
- 29:55Speaker 1: here's the fucking moment that I've been ready to know.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Can I hit this garage door button? And as it's
- 30:01Speaker 1: closing sprint out, hit the jump over the laser, not
- 30:04Speaker 1: trip anything, and land on my two feet and stand
- 30:07Speaker 1: there and watch that garage door go down the rest
- 30:08Speaker 1: of the way and think I'm still that fucking dude.
- 30:11Speaker 1: So my shout out, no free shot out of the
- 30:13Speaker 1: week goes to true athleticism where you beat the garage
- 30:19Speaker 1: door going down after you press the garage door button,
- 30:21Speaker 1: you don't hit the laser, and you stand on your
- 30:23Speaker 1: two feet.
- 30:24Speaker 2: That is my shot out, no free shot out of
- 30:25Speaker 2: the week.
- 30:31Speaker 1: You do sometimes sometimes a little far, like on mine,
- 30:34Speaker 1: I'm coming up from like three stairs. There's three stairs,
- 30:38Speaker 1: so I gotta land, you know, I gotta jump down.
- 30:40Speaker 1: You know how these knees can swell up now and
- 30:42Speaker 1: some usually you're not warmed up, like you're not ready
- 30:44Speaker 1: for it, and you're like, all right, do I still
- 30:46Speaker 1: got it? And when you go over and you hit
- 30:48Speaker 1: that little fucking you know, with that little bent over
- 30:54Speaker 1: fucking you laying, You're like, yeah, I still fucking got
- 30:59Speaker 1: this shit.
- 30:59Speaker 3: Bro.
- 31:01Speaker 2: All right, thanks for enjoying that segment with us. I
- 31:04Speaker 2: hope you guys have as much fun as we do.
- 31:06Speaker 1: We will now get into the Darren Waller Podcast the
- 31:09Speaker 1: reason we will held onto this one and dropped it
- 31:11Speaker 1: this week. It's on the eleventh, right, his five year
- 31:17Speaker 1: it's the eleventh, right, because I said I said the tenth.
- 31:21Speaker 1: I think he corrected me to the eleventh. So Darren's
- 31:24Speaker 1: five years of sobriety is on the eleventh. So we
- 31:28Speaker 1: wanted to drop it the week this week. That's why
- 31:30Speaker 1: we held onto it. This is an incredible podcast. If
- 31:33Speaker 1: you guys didn't listen to my first one, Darren Waller,
- 31:35Speaker 1: I did it in the January or February of twenty
- 31:39Speaker 1: twenty I think, and it was just me and him
- 31:42Speaker 1: one on one. He talked, he we peeled the onion
- 31:45Speaker 1: back with You guys have heard his story. Probably if
- 31:48Speaker 1: you guys are tuning in for this podcast, you guys
- 31:50Speaker 1: have heard the story about him basically trying to play
- 31:53Speaker 1: sabotage his way out of the league. He odeed in
- 31:55Speaker 1: a parking lot to where he woke up the next
- 31:57Speaker 1: day he had hit rock bottom because he's he was
- 31:59Speaker 1: an AD and did the twelve step program relentlessly work
- 32:04Speaker 1: to get back in the league. Was on practice squad,
- 32:06Speaker 1: got noticed from the Raiders to a pregame just catching
- 32:10Speaker 1: routes and everybody was like, who the fuck is that guy?
- 32:12Speaker 1: And they signed him the next week. He ends up
- 32:15Speaker 1: playing that he has a hell of a year, finishes
- 32:17Speaker 1: out the year with the Raiders, has a hell of
- 32:19Speaker 1: a year.
- 32:19Speaker 2: The next year, reups into a new contract.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Basically got to start, got to build his.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Way into another opportunity.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Fortunately, because opportunities are few and far in between, especially
- 32:32Speaker 1: in the NFL, you don't have a lot of lives,
- 32:33Speaker 1: and somebody who is in the twelve step program would
- 32:36Speaker 1: fails in the drug program, would fail the drug tests
- 32:38Speaker 1: all the time. I think he said he's failed one
- 32:41Speaker 1: hundred drug tests, like over one hundred.
- 32:45Speaker 2: It just doesn't happen a lot.
- 32:46Speaker 1: And I think, like for de Wall to come on here,
- 32:49Speaker 1: share that story of the first time around, go check
- 32:51Speaker 1: out that episode. It's awesome, and you almost think, like
- 32:54Speaker 1: what else can you continue to talk about him? And
- 32:56Speaker 1: having this dude come in and sit and we get
- 32:58Speaker 1: other perspectives and gems that he was talking about. He
- 33:03Speaker 1: got myself emotional because he asked me about my mother,
- 33:06Speaker 1: which was a moment that we kind of sat here
- 33:08Speaker 1: and shared. I always feel awkward when I get emotional
- 33:11Speaker 1: and shout out to my mom's her birthday is without
- 33:16Speaker 1: getting into that mode. Her birthdays on the thirteenth this week,

- 39:14Speaker 1: you're waking up at trying to wake with the sunrise
- 39:16Speaker 1: and everything else. So you got to Nashville and you
- 39:19Speaker 1: just like look for a boxing class that's nearby, and
- 39:21Speaker 1: you're like, I'm gonna just go do it, or do
- 39:22Speaker 1: you know somebody.
- 39:24Speaker 8: So when I was out here last year, I went
- 39:26Speaker 8: to there's a there's like a spin class cycle bar
- 39:29Speaker 8: right next door, like riding bike, like peloton type of stuff,
- 39:32Speaker 8: and so I did that last year and I was like,
- 39:34Speaker 8: let me go do that.
- 39:35Speaker 3: And then I saw rumble boxing was right there, so
- 39:37Speaker 3: I was like, you go do that.
- 39:39Speaker 2: So your training are you just kind of like you
- 39:44Speaker 2: do classes.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Do you have like a certain regimen for you and

- 40:04Speaker 8: But yeah, it's a lot of like you know, rotational power,
- 40:06Speaker 8: like just like movements that translate to the field. And
- 40:09Speaker 8: then I do like boxing classes there. I'll do pilates,
- 40:13Speaker 8: yoga and hit the field. I'd just like to mix
- 40:17Speaker 8: it up, keep keep me on my toes.
- 40:21Speaker 1: If if the NFL if like a lot of players,
- 40:23Speaker 1: if there was like a boxing tournament you like yourself, I.
- 40:27Speaker 3: Feel like getting doing things against people is different.
- 40:31Speaker 8: I've never done that, so I can't really say like
- 40:33Speaker 8: I'm good on the mits, I'm good with the combos,
- 40:35Speaker 8: like I feel like I'm kind of crisp with that.
- 40:37Speaker 8: But I feel like, get in front of somebody else,
- 40:39Speaker 8: I don't even want to act like I can just
- 40:41Speaker 8: hop in there.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Have you like, have you sparred or anything?
- 40:43Speaker 1: No, I don't play on it. You don't plan on it,
- 40:46Speaker 1: like when you're done. You don't plan like being like
- 40:48Speaker 1: what's his name, Frank Gore?
- 40:49Speaker 3: You just have that itch.
- 40:50Speaker 2: You just can't not compete, you.
- 40:52Speaker 3: Know, No, I understand. I understand that. But for me,
- 40:56Speaker 3: like I know I won't have that itch. How much?
- 41:00Speaker 2: How much the longer do you see yourself playing?
- 41:03Speaker 3: Oh? I was telling them.
- 41:04Speaker 8: I was telling myself like at least like one more
- 41:06Speaker 8: contract and then evaluated from there, because.
- 41:09Speaker 3: It's just like, yeah, when is your is your deal up?
- 41:11Speaker 2: After this year?
- 41:12Speaker 8: I have two more years left on my current deal,
- 41:14Speaker 8: but no guaranteed money. So that's why it's like all
- 41:17Speaker 8: the guys contract houpla.
- 41:18Speaker 3: So you know, put another year under the bell. Next
- 41:23Speaker 3: year could be a little nice for the boy. We'll
- 41:26Speaker 3: see then.
- 41:27Speaker 1: I never know, man, there's so many things like I
- 41:30Speaker 1: want to dive in and talk about. I guess before
- 41:32Speaker 1: we get too much into like what everybody loves talking
- 41:35Speaker 1: to you about, like all the deep stuff like your
- 41:37Speaker 1: sobriety and all that stuff I do want to talk about,
- 41:41Speaker 1: like tight end you and how like I want you
- 41:44Speaker 1: to speak on what you get out of it and
- 41:48Speaker 1: like what you think of the overall event, because I like,
- 41:50Speaker 1: I sat in as an honorary tight end yesterday and
- 41:54Speaker 1: the meetings and stuff like that, and I just I
- 41:56Speaker 1: was there interviewing guys at the hotel the day before,
- 41:59Speaker 1: and uh, I just think the way that they put
- 42:01Speaker 1: that thing on, man, Like, No, I don't know if
- 42:06Speaker 1: position groups are doing it like that, but if position
- 42:09Speaker 1: groups do, or guys like having Itch to put something
- 42:11Speaker 1: on like that, they need to talk to George Travis
- 42:15Speaker 1: and Greg because bro Gift Suites having a like staying
- 42:20Speaker 1: in a nice hotel, having like the.
- 42:22Speaker 3: Pt Cairo's Breath classes yoga monstered by like household name brands.
- 42:29Speaker 8: Yeah, Boys and Girls Club coming in with movie cameras
- 42:33Speaker 8: out there yesterday.
- 42:34Speaker 1: Yes, bro, this shit is wild and like the camaraderie,
- 42:37Speaker 1: Like I don't know how them boys do it at nighttime,
- 42:39Speaker 1: like in the evening, like after being in the sun
- 42:41Speaker 1: all day. Line, y'all are running around. But so how
- 42:43Speaker 1: do these guys like want to go out auto that?
- 42:45Speaker 1: But the way that they put it together and do it,
- 42:47Speaker 1: and how structure and regimented it is, and how on
- 42:49Speaker 1: point with the catering of food and all that, Like,
- 42:52Speaker 1: I think it's like top notch.
- 42:53Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know how it could be any better,
- 42:56Speaker 8: Like like you said, also they give us in being
- 42:59Speaker 8: at Vanda built now, like they up the facility double
- 43:02Speaker 8: the amount of guys, But even when we're on the field,
- 43:04Speaker 8: it didn't feel like it was double the amount of guys.
- 43:06Speaker 8: Where they broke it up, it was it flowed naturally.
- 43:08Speaker 8: Didn't feel like I was just sitting around or board
- 43:10Speaker 8: or anything.
- 43:12Speaker 3: You know.
- 43:12Speaker 1: There's eighty five guys here, yeah, and there's like forty
- 43:15Speaker 1: last year. That's that's nuts, man, And it seems like
- 43:18Speaker 1: everybody's sounding fun. Like I was talking to Foster like
- 43:20Speaker 1: what he likes so much about it yesterday on the field,
- 43:22Speaker 1: and He's like, I enjoy so much because there's like
- 43:24Speaker 1: no ego, Like everybody's coming in here legit, trying to
- 43:27Speaker 1: learn from each other.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Right, what's something you feel like you get out of it? Personally?
- 43:33Speaker 3: I just like seeing how guys move around, how they
- 43:35Speaker 3: carried themselves.
- 43:37Speaker 8: It's like what confidence looks like for them, just like
- 43:40Speaker 8: the human side of them so and then also like
- 43:43Speaker 8: picking up tips and stuff like they have Dallas Clark
- 43:45Speaker 8: out there. But you know, I just like the human
- 43:48Speaker 8: side of guys and just see how they mentally approach things,
- 43:50Speaker 8: how you know they stay present to the moment, and
- 43:54Speaker 8: how they just like take things and apply to their
- 43:57Speaker 8: game and how they learn, you.
- 43:58Speaker 1: Know, where they're uestions or comments yesterday that had like
- 44:02Speaker 1: sparked you that, like you gravitated towards more or like
- 44:06Speaker 1: a couple of guys that maybe you heard speak or
- 44:09Speaker 1: watched on the field that you know sparked your interest
- 44:13Speaker 1: to like you, I want to I want to know
- 44:15Speaker 1: more about like what this guy does with his routine
- 44:17Speaker 1: or I want to pick his brain a little bit
- 44:18Speaker 1: more like within this rock concept, technique, mental, whatever the
- 44:22Speaker 1: case may be.
- 44:23Speaker 8: It was definitely Dallas Clark for sure. Just I mean
- 44:27Speaker 8: the relationship that he seemed to have with his quarterback.
- 44:30Speaker 8: I was asking him about, you know, how you go
- 44:31Speaker 8: about navigating that and you know, you know, saying things
- 44:36Speaker 8: without like feeling like you're stepping on somebody's toes, but
- 44:38Speaker 8: like but really saying what you want to say you
- 44:40Speaker 8: need to say at a particular time or like, and
- 44:44Speaker 8: he crafted like his own little red zone roll like
- 44:46Speaker 8: they were just kind of like throwing into the goalpost
- 44:48Speaker 8: over the middle of the field, because like me, you know,
- 44:51Speaker 8: there's a lot of times in the past couple of
- 44:53Speaker 8: years where I felt like I didn't have like it
- 44:55Speaker 8: was like a clear defined attack in the red zone
- 44:58Speaker 8: or like a plan for me specific Like it was
- 45:00Speaker 8: just kind of like what the fuck am I doing?
- 45:02Speaker 3: Sometimes?
- 45:03Speaker 8: But now I kind of feel like that's something that's
- 45:05Speaker 8: in place with Josh and developing just off of this
- 45:08Speaker 8: off season alone. So it's kind of asking him about,
- 45:11Speaker 8: how did your role in the red zone come about?
- 45:14Speaker 8: Because that's a that's a that's a big thing, like
- 45:16Speaker 8: like for me, like there's no reason why my big
- 45:19Speaker 8: ass shouldn't be you know, oh yeah, but homeonating in
- 45:22Speaker 8: the red zone at all times, you know.
- 45:24Speaker 1: So yeah, because he spoke and one thing he did
- 45:27Speaker 1: say is like, think of any great quarterback and you
- 45:30Speaker 1: know you really can't think of one without them having
- 45:33Speaker 1: a great tight end, right, And he spoke on the
- 45:34Speaker 1: relationship that like getting with your quarterback and everything else.
- 45:37Speaker 3: How would you how would you describe your in DC's relationship.
- 45:41Speaker 3: I don't think it could be any better.
- 45:42Speaker 8: You know, it's a you know, one where we talked
- 45:46Speaker 8: like real life stuff or just like every day stuff
- 45:48Speaker 8: and can joke. But then like on the field, it's like,
- 45:52Speaker 8: you know, he wants me to do something different, he
- 45:54Speaker 8: can tell me and I won't get my feelings. And
- 45:56Speaker 8: then and then he'll he'll be like he'll be the
- 45:59Speaker 8: first one to be like, oh man, I could have
- 46:00Speaker 8: made that throw better, or you know, I'll get it
- 46:02Speaker 8: up higher, I'll get it there quicker.
- 46:04Speaker 7: Like.
- 46:05Speaker 8: So it's like one where we can share information and
- 46:07Speaker 8: say something where the other one doesn't feel like we're
- 46:10Speaker 8: attacking each other because we actually like each other and
- 46:12Speaker 8: talk to each other.
- 46:13Speaker 1: You know, we interrupt this episode to bring you Roman Boys.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Testosterone is an important part of a man's body and health.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Any way, it is an important part of a man's
- 46:24Speaker 1: body and health. But men's testosterone starts to deplete with age,
- 46:29Speaker 1: which is why it's important you start to support it early.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Signs of low t can include a decline and energy
- 46:36Speaker 1: and stamina, weight gain, hair loss, low sex drive, and
- 46:41Speaker 1: not having that morning wood right when you wake up

- 47:58Speaker 1: same ability? Because I mean the seas I mean, he's awesome.
- 48:01Speaker 1: You could probably talk to him in the same way.
- 48:02Speaker 1: But I know, listening to your podcast on the Pivot,
- 48:05Speaker 1: you talked about developing yourself vocally right, being more comfortable
- 48:10Speaker 1: within your personality. Yeah, do you feel like you've you're
- 48:14Speaker 1: developing that more now? Like, do you feel more confident
- 48:18Speaker 1: with yourself and your personality? Do you feel like you
- 48:20Speaker 1: can speak to DC the same way DC speaks to
- 48:23Speaker 1: you in a way that you know, Guys that are
- 48:25Speaker 1: receiving it on the other end aren't like because you
- 48:27Speaker 1: said it yourself.
- 48:28Speaker 2: You're like, guys, I'm not like getting my feelings.
- 48:30Speaker 1: Is it a thing to where you just don't know
- 48:32Speaker 1: if guys do so you kind of like you don't
- 48:33Speaker 1: want to step on nobody's toes or do you feel
- 48:35Speaker 1: like you've grown in that aspect this off season?
- 48:37Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like I've grown just in just having
- 48:40Speaker 8: tough conversations with people in general, whether whatever it be,
- 48:43Speaker 8: because usually, like before, I was just like timid and
- 48:46Speaker 8: didn't want to have those conversations, and I was like,
- 48:49Speaker 8: you know, always a guy that was getting suspended and stuff.
- 48:51Speaker 8: So I would just kind of be like in the room,
- 48:53Speaker 8: like quiet in the back and not saying anything. So
- 48:55Speaker 8: I said something maybe like you didn't motherfucking that was,
- 48:58Speaker 8: you know, doing all that? You're talking about something that
- 49:02Speaker 8: So that's the times that's going through my mind. So
- 49:03Speaker 8: I just like won't say nothing, or it was like
- 49:05Speaker 8: there's something that I feel like I want to say.
- 49:06Speaker 8: I'm like, ah, man, Like I could still be in
- 49:08Speaker 8: that mindset, but I had to realize, like that's not
- 49:11Speaker 8: who I am anymore, and I deserve to have a
- 49:13Speaker 8: voice because I'm not somebody that's here just trying to
- 49:15Speaker 8: take for myself, like I actually care about the goodness
- 49:18Speaker 8: of the team and the collective. So anything that I
- 49:20Speaker 8: say is going towards that, So I don't need to
- 49:23Speaker 8: like just tripp in my mind.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Are there things that have happened that it have allowed
- 49:27Speaker 1: you to get over that hump or step that you've made,
- 49:29Speaker 1: or anything that you've like studied on your own that's
- 49:32Speaker 1: made you feel more comfortable for other than just being like,
- 49:35Speaker 1: you know, now I'm Darren Waller. I feel like I've
- 49:37Speaker 1: put up, you know, the the accolades and the stats
- 49:40Speaker 1: now to say it, like, are there things that have
- 49:41Speaker 1: happened for you that's been like I need I need
- 49:43Speaker 1: to get out of my own fucking head and have
- 49:45Speaker 1: this conversation because a conversation delayed is like conflict multiplied.
- 49:49Speaker 1: So I just need to have this thing before it
- 49:53Speaker 1: like snowballs into something worse. You just said something right there,
- 49:56Speaker 1: so I appreciate that.
- 49:57Speaker 8: Yeah, But I mean it's just like the men that
- 49:59Speaker 8: are mentors in my life just constantly like you know
- 50:02Speaker 8: that you have to have the tough conversation. It's just
- 50:05Speaker 8: like the character building that comes from that because you're
- 50:08Speaker 8: not having that conversation is essentially selfish because you know,
- 50:12Speaker 8: you could be saying something that could and bringing honesty
- 50:15Speaker 8: to the table for somebody else, helping them see something differently,
- 50:19Speaker 8: But instead you don't want to have that confrontation, so
- 50:21Speaker 8: you're keeping them in the dark. And then you're also,
- 50:24Speaker 8: you know, letting that build up inside yourself, so it's like,
- 50:26Speaker 8: I have to go through with it. And then when
- 50:28Speaker 8: you go through with it, you feel better about yourself
- 50:30Speaker 8: and you can go grow confidence because you're like, I'm
- 50:32Speaker 8: not shying away from what's difficult.
- 50:34Speaker 1: I'm actually going towards it, and you realize it's not
- 50:37Speaker 1: as bad as much you probably.
- 50:38Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing never as bad. It's like, damn, why fuck
- 50:40Speaker 3: was that tripping about that? Yeah?
- 50:41Speaker 1: Do you feel like you've been able to build that
- 50:43Speaker 1: just with the McDaniels coming in and like talking with
- 50:46Speaker 1: Foster and a mirror and guys that have spoken highly
- 50:49Speaker 1: of him, and reading the things that you've said about
- 50:51Speaker 1: him about the process and the details, and probably probably
- 50:54Speaker 1: being very open about talking about the offense Foster says,
- 50:57Speaker 1: the entire offenses in there getting coached up and guys
- 50:59Speaker 1: are here, you're in different messaging.
- 51:01Speaker 3: Do you feel like a lot of that stuff has
- 51:03Speaker 3: allowed you to bring up.
- 51:04Speaker 1: Your own conversations and guys are just a lot more
- 51:06Speaker 1: open when speaking with each other.
- 51:07Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just a it's just a real environment. And
- 51:10Speaker 8: then they come in and they're like, hey, the more
- 51:13Speaker 8: you do and the more that you earn, the more
- 51:14Speaker 8: that you'll get.
- 51:15Speaker 3: Right. That's how it is.
- 51:17Speaker 1: What do you feel like coach McDaniels has done, like
- 51:19Speaker 1: the differences that you've seen, like just coming in and
- 51:22Speaker 1: implementing his process oriented Patriot way, like playing for coach Rayball.
- 51:27Speaker 1: Was talking with Foster on a couple of things that
- 51:29Speaker 1: of Rabel day because Rabel was with Belichick. McDaniel's been
- 51:32Speaker 1: with Belichick forever. Like, what are some things that have
- 51:34Speaker 1: really like stood out to you that's like helped you
- 51:36Speaker 1: be like, oh, this is that dude?
- 51:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean at first, it's like if you put
- 51:42Speaker 3: ego to the side, like he's sending people on laps,
- 51:44Speaker 3: like if you cause a penalty or if you jump all.
- 51:48Speaker 8: Size or you yeah, like you're you're running like it's
- 51:52Speaker 8: like it's not none personally, not trying to make you
- 51:54Speaker 8: look bad, or.
- 51:54Speaker 3: It's like he wants you to.
- 51:56Speaker 8: Like cause it's gonna it's gonna penalize you. It's gonna
- 51:58Speaker 8: penalize everybody on game day. So he wants you to,
- 52:00Speaker 8: like you gotta feel that, like to know where it's like,
- 52:03Speaker 8: are you were in that lap and it's one hundred
- 52:04Speaker 8: degrees at training camp?
- 52:05Speaker 3: Be like, oh, no, I'm not gonna do that. I'm
- 52:06Speaker 3: not doing that shit nomore. Yeah. So it's things like that,
- 52:09Speaker 3: and then.
- 52:11Speaker 8: I mean just different ways of installing plays, Like they'll
- 52:13Speaker 8: be like they'll have a big screen up in the
- 52:15Speaker 8: indoor and we'll like walk through it because a lot
- 52:17Speaker 8: of guys.
- 52:17Speaker 3: You know, you sit in that chair taking them notes,
- 52:19Speaker 3: you start fading.
- 52:20Speaker 8: Yeah, It's like he'll mix it up and have all
- 52:24Speaker 8: kinds of different tapes and cut ups and things like that.
- 52:26Speaker 8: So it's like by the time you go on the
- 52:28Speaker 8: field and walk through, it's like, if you don't know,
- 52:30Speaker 8: it's because you intently didn't put time in to retain
- 52:35Speaker 8: that shit, because it's like there's plenty of resources there.
- 52:37Speaker 1: And it stands out that you're not like putting the
- 52:39Speaker 1: time in. How exciting is it to have fucking Davante
- 52:44Speaker 1: Adams added to the squad and Chandler Jones.
- 52:46Speaker 3: I'll think anybody would be mad at those pickups.
- 52:48Speaker 1: You know, just bro Hunter Renfro gets re upped, like
- 52:52Speaker 1: y'all got a little squad man.
- 52:54Speaker 3: Yeah sure you excited. Yeah yeah, it should be explosive
- 52:56Speaker 3: for sure.
- 52:57Speaker 1: You know you have a you have like cert goals
- 53:00Speaker 1: for yourself, Like individually, you're a big goal guy. Because
- 53:04Speaker 1: I when I was listening to your conversation with the
- 53:08Speaker 1: Fellas on the Pivot, You've talked about like journaling a
- 53:10Speaker 1: lot and not necessarily having like specific goals for a
- 53:13Speaker 1: day or a week or something like that.
- 53:15Speaker 3: Like are you a big goal guy? Are you more
- 53:16Speaker 3: of like you spoke on being in tune more with principles.
- 53:22Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I just moved by principles because like goal,
- 53:24Speaker 8: like certain goals, like maybe.
- 53:26Speaker 3: A lot of guys said, are results based.
- 53:28Speaker 8: And it's like I feel like no matter what I
- 53:30Speaker 8: may put in, no matter how much I may give,
- 53:32Speaker 8: like those results may not happen. Like I really don't
- 53:36Speaker 8: have that much control over what the end result looks
- 53:39Speaker 8: like for me. I know I can control like what
- 53:42Speaker 8: preparation looks like, what effort looks like, what my attitude
- 53:44Speaker 8: looks like. And with those three things, I have those
- 53:48Speaker 8: hitting on you know the level that they should be on.
- 53:50Speaker 8: I feel like the results will take care of themselves
- 53:52Speaker 8: because I could go out there and be like, oh yeah,
- 53:54Speaker 8: fifteen hundred yards, then I can have thirteen hundred and
- 53:57Speaker 8: forty nine yards and be like it was a failure.
- 54:00Speaker 8: And it's like I don't think that that's you know,
- 54:03Speaker 8: conductive towards just my peace of mind and how I
- 54:06Speaker 8: live my life. You know, I'll just you know, I
- 54:08Speaker 8: can live with the results as long as, like I said,
- 54:11Speaker 8: I'm prepared and I have good effort and my attitude
- 54:14Speaker 8: is there, and just keep it as simple as that
- 54:15Speaker 8: and just enjoy the people that I'm playing the game
- 54:18Speaker 8: with and just let that take care of itself.
- 54:21Speaker 2: Yeah, do you feel like that's hard at times?
- 54:24Speaker 1: Like last year for instance, Like you know, you were
- 54:26Speaker 1: a thousand yard cat up until you got injured last year, right,
- 54:28Speaker 1: you landed like shy of seven hundred last year, but
- 54:31Speaker 1: with five weeks of playing like you probably like if
- 54:33Speaker 1: you're a guy who has a goal of like I'm
- 54:35Speaker 1: gonna have a thousand yards like every year, and you
- 54:39Speaker 1: don't make that last year because you're injured, Like, right,
- 54:41Speaker 1: it's when.
- 54:42Speaker 2: Stuff like that happens.
- 54:43Speaker 1: Is it hard to where you have to like lean
- 54:47Speaker 1: into that process oriented mindset that you created for yourself,
- 54:50Speaker 1: or has it become so natural to where you really
- 54:52Speaker 1: just weren't tripping off that.
- 54:54Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit of both.
- 54:55Speaker 8: Last year, I feel like if there's a season that
- 54:57Speaker 8: I learned the most from, it was just with life,
- 55:00Speaker 8: it was it was last year, you know, really just.
- 55:03Speaker 3: Because you know there's certain points of the year.
- 55:05Speaker 8: It's like you at the beginning of the year, in
- 55:07Speaker 8: that first game against Baltimore where it was just like,
- 55:09Speaker 8: you had like nineteen targets in the game.
- 55:11Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, you was all my fantasy team.
- 55:13Speaker 8: And then it's like and then there's, uh, you go
- 55:16Speaker 8: through like halfway point of the season, there's like probably
- 55:19Speaker 8: like four games or so where I only had like
- 55:21Speaker 8: five targets, and so then it's kind of like it
- 55:24Speaker 8: was like you're up here, and then you cut down
- 55:26Speaker 8: and then it's like at this point where we played
- 55:28Speaker 8: like Cincinnati and I had one hundred something yards, I
- 55:31Speaker 8: felt like I was heating up. I was going to
- 55:32Speaker 8: that Dallas game and I was like, I felt like
- 55:34Speaker 8: I was gonna go crazy that day. And I had
- 55:35Speaker 8: a couple of catches early on and then I got
- 55:37Speaker 8: my knee rolled up, and I was like, dang, I
- 55:38Speaker 8: was out for six weeks. And then after those six weeks,
- 55:43Speaker 8: the first practice I was supposed to be back, I
- 55:44Speaker 8: got COVID that morning and it.
- 55:46Speaker 2: Was just like oh yeah, yeah, when everybody was yeah, and.
- 55:49Speaker 8: You know, so it's just like all those things kind
- 55:52Speaker 8: of forced me to sit still and be like, you know,
- 55:56Speaker 8: not base my self worth off of my performance.
- 55:59Speaker 1: You know, well, what made what point of the year
- 56:03Speaker 1: made it difficult to where you like learn the most
- 56:05Speaker 1: about yourself? Or was it that combination of all of it,
- 56:08Speaker 1: because you guys obviously went through a lot of like
- 56:10Speaker 1: turmoil with groon and and rugs and your injury and
- 56:15Speaker 1: a lot of stuff happened in like the wave the
- 56:17Speaker 1: roller coaster of nineteen catches and then a few catches
- 56:19Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. Targets, Yeah, what do
- 56:22Speaker 1: you feel like, what was the moment where you feel
- 56:25Speaker 1: like you really had to check yourself?
- 56:28Speaker 3: It was all that.
- 56:28Speaker 8: It was moments where in the games where I'd have
- 56:31Speaker 8: five targets because it's like, you know, it's still an
- 56:35Speaker 8: industry where it's like, you know, your stats provide your value,
- 56:39Speaker 8: and I feel like you know, I'm somebody that should
- 56:42Speaker 8: have tan of game where it's like, you know, you
- 56:45Speaker 8: gotta swa you gotta swallow your pride and realize it's
- 56:48Speaker 8: you know, it's team oriented and we're winning these games,
- 56:50Speaker 8: and so it's like, you know, what's really more important here?
- 56:53Speaker 8: Is it me getting mine or is it you know,
- 56:55Speaker 8: being a part of something that's great and that's and
- 56:58Speaker 8: that's developing and that's building. So it's like, you know,
- 57:00Speaker 8: really checking your ego and like what your intentions are there.
- 57:03Speaker 8: And then even when I was injured, it was just like, man,
- 57:05Speaker 8: like you know, having these you know, bro, I'm a
- 57:08Speaker 8: drug aud at the end of the day, so I'm
- 57:09Speaker 8: having these like wild ass thoughts like that's just the
- 57:12Speaker 8: disease I have.
- 57:13Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, man, don't need me. They went in
- 57:15Speaker 3: and I'm out.
- 57:16Speaker 8: Like so it's like checking those thoughts and realizing it's
- 57:19Speaker 8: like it shouldn't be based off of you know, what's
- 57:23Speaker 8: going on and like, you know, just because I'm out
- 57:25Speaker 8: of the picture. It should be you know, supporting this
- 57:28Speaker 8: team and stay committed to this team and realizing that
- 57:30Speaker 8: you know, I can provide value in ways where it's
- 57:33Speaker 8: just like my performance or my stat line week to week,
- 57:36Speaker 8: or people seeing me as a top fantasy, this, this,
- 57:39Speaker 8: and that.
- 57:39Speaker 3: It's just like, no, I can still be there.
- 57:40Speaker 8: I can still be a leader, and it's just finding
- 57:42Speaker 8: a way to do that even though I'm not out
- 57:45Speaker 8: there necessarily doing it. I can still provide value to
- 57:49Speaker 8: this team and just always think about what I can
- 57:50Speaker 8: give rather than what I can get. And I feel
- 57:52Speaker 8: like those lessons were really kind of ingrained in me
- 57:54Speaker 8: last year. You said a lot right there.
- 57:57Speaker 1: All right, we interrupt this episode to bring you boys
- 58:00Speaker 1: at Duke Cannon. No free shout outs to Duke Cannon deodorant.
- 58:04Speaker 1: Their deodorant is made for guys who run hot Listen.
- 58:08Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you in on a little bit of
- 58:10Speaker 1: my personal journey with deodorant.
- 58:12Speaker 2: Today.
- 58:13Speaker 1: I didn't have access to my Duke Cannon. I was
- 58:15Speaker 1: on the move, so I'd do use somebody else's after
- 58:17Speaker 1: my workout this morning. And this is exactly what happens
- 58:20Speaker 1: when you don't use Duke Cannon dry ice.
- 58:22Speaker 5: Oh.
- 58:23Speaker 1: I know you guys are looking at my arms, but
- 58:24Speaker 1: try not to look at my arms and notice the
- 58:26Speaker 1: underarm sweat that does not occur when you use dry ice,
- 58:31Speaker 1: and if it does, it'll just be a little bit
- 58:32Speaker 1: the guys who sweat.
- 58:33Speaker 2: You guys know what I'm talking.
- 58:34Speaker 3: About, to worry.
- 58:34Speaker 1: If you have a good quality product, it'll just be
- 58:36Speaker 1: like a strip or two because it's trying to protect
- 58:38Speaker 1: you as much as possible.
- 58:39Speaker 3: That's because dry ice.
- 58:41Speaker 1: It feels like we say it all the time, but
- 58:43Speaker 1: you have little ac units sitting right under your armpits
- 58:46Speaker 1: throughout the entire day. You almost feel like you're sweating
- 58:48Speaker 1: because it gets so chilly under there at times and
- 58:50Speaker 1: it kind of confuses you. Another favorite of mine is
- 58:53Speaker 1: our biggest brick of soap. The boy Taylor was just
- 58:55Speaker 1: shouting it out on Instagram. He's got it hanging up
- 58:58Speaker 1: in his locker. A lot of the boys around the
- 58:59Speaker 1: wad League or using their biggest brick of soap with
- 59:01Speaker 1: the scrubber because it has a little scrubber case to
- 59:03Speaker 1: use when you're around all the boys in the shower
- 59:05Speaker 1: scrubbing your little boys. They also a hair washed, hairstyling
- 59:09Speaker 1: beard care. They have all this shit. Go check out

- 59:41Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
- 59:43Speaker 3: I feel like.
- 59:45Speaker 1: I feel like that could be like a defense mechanism
- 59:47Speaker 1: just to say that, right, and to like create like
- 59:50Speaker 1: an anchor or foundation for people sitting around you and listening.
- 59:53Speaker 1: But I feel like everything that you've been doing these
- 59:55Speaker 1: last five years, like that's also not you anymore, you
- 59:59Speaker 1: know what I mean?
- 59:59Speaker 3: Yeah?

- 1:00:53Speaker 1: this is this is both within the confines of the NFL,
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: but on the field and off the field. But three
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: thousand plus yards, you've been a pro bowler, a two
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: time NFL Top one Hunter player, Walter Payton Man of

- 1:01:09Speaker 2: Youth Award, the Pop Warner Interaction Youth Ward like.
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: You were odd.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you explaining it like an Xbox being unplugged,
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: a TV being unplugged, like rock Bottom working at Sprouse
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: for eleven dollars an hour, right, and now you've accomplished
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: these things.
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: In the last five years.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: Like what do you think about when you think of
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: your five years of sobriety, Like what do you look
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: back on?
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: Like what are you proud of?
- 1:01:38Speaker 6: Like?
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: I think that's major, bro, you know what I mean?
- 1:01:42Speaker 8: Like people look up to you like so hard for
- 1:01:45Speaker 8: It's still hard for me to comprehend that sometimes. And
- 1:01:48Speaker 8: it's just like even when people like we'll see them
- 1:01:50Speaker 8: and be like, oh, that's Darren Waller, I'm just like why,
- 1:01:53Speaker 8: Like why.
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: Are you coming? You know, I don't know. I feel
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: still feel like I'm just like, you know the same.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: Because you're like it's it's you walk around as the
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: football player Darren Waller, which obviously you're a fucking monster,
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: but like everything you've overcome in these last five years,
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: like you mean so much more to people than just football, right,
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: Like personally I look up to you. I watch you
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: walk around all the fellas yesterday and everything else, and
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: you're like, yo, that dude, Like your people are like
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: proud of you, and people are like fired up. And
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: then when you speak, people listen because you've done so
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: much to work on yourself like since then, right, you
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like I want you to talk
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: about what you think about, like when you think of
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: this stuff, like when you look back, like, man, I'm
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: really when you reflect, when you journal, when you have gratitude,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: Like what are things you look back on and you're like,
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: you're like proud of Darren Waller.
- 1:02:42Speaker 8: I think I'm proud of the fact that I made
- 1:02:44Speaker 8: it a habit to seek routes in my life that
- 1:02:47Speaker 8: were uncomfortable, Like it was uncomfortable to go to rehab its,
- 1:02:52Speaker 8: uncomfortable to you know, go to meetings. It was uncomfortable
- 1:02:54Speaker 8: to work at sprouts and work for the salary that
- 1:02:57Speaker 8: I was working for, especially from the salary that I
- 1:02:59Speaker 8: was coming from, just like all the humbling experiences that
- 1:03:02Speaker 8: came from that, even just training to get back to
- 1:03:05Speaker 8: getting reinstated.
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: You know, there wasn't really like a define thing to
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: work towards.
- 1:03:10Speaker 8: It was just like I'm gonna work and hope that
- 1:03:13Speaker 8: I get a chance, but there's no chance guaranteed here,
- 1:03:16Speaker 8: So I'm just gonna work just to work and then
- 1:03:20Speaker 8: just you know, staying just working on like mindfulness and
- 1:03:23Speaker 8: things like that, just stay in present to the moment
- 1:03:24Speaker 8: really helped, and not tripping too much about the future.
- 1:03:29Speaker 8: But yeah, I mean just and then not necessarily necessarily
- 1:03:32Speaker 8: getting too high and too low with the cards that
- 1:03:34Speaker 8: I was deu I got reinstated, but then I got
- 1:03:36Speaker 8: cut and I was on practice squad and it was
- 1:03:37Speaker 8: like I knew they were gonna kind of hide me,
- 1:03:41Speaker 8: and because nobody was gonna touch me with my track
- 1:03:45Speaker 8: record at the time, but I chose I was able
- 1:03:48Speaker 8: and I have the skills to choose a positive attitude
- 1:03:50Speaker 8: and be like, well I can just you know, this
- 1:03:52Speaker 8: is me. I'm being hidden for a reason. Like I
- 1:03:54Speaker 8: feel like God isn't giving these things right away because
- 1:03:57Speaker 8: my character still has to develop to be able to
- 1:03:59Speaker 8: hold up a certain level of success. Is why I
- 1:04:01Speaker 8: don't have If it was given to me the little
- 1:04:05Speaker 8: sccess I have now is given to me in twenty sixteen,
- 1:04:07Speaker 8: it would be a car wreck, Like you know, you
- 1:04:10Speaker 8: know what I'm saying, Like, so I don't know, just
- 1:04:13Speaker 8: staying with the process and not being necessarily worried about
- 1:04:16Speaker 8: when things would happen, but just you know, staying in
- 1:04:19Speaker 8: the work and focusing on like I said, like my
- 1:04:21Speaker 8: character development as opposed to when certain results would come
- 1:04:24Speaker 8: my way, and then it's like you kind of look
- 1:04:26Speaker 8: up along the way and like my like the results
- 1:04:28Speaker 8: are coming and it's like okay. But like a lot
- 1:04:31Speaker 8: of people put their feet up and kick their feet
- 1:04:33Speaker 8: up when good things start happening. But for me, it's
- 1:04:35Speaker 8: just like I don't know, man, Like I feel like
- 1:04:37Speaker 8: if I kick my feet up, like there's a lot
- 1:04:39Speaker 8: there's a lot of dark shit I could go back
- 1:04:41Speaker 8: to if I start getting comfortable.
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: So it's just like, you know, staying in that discomfort.
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: What are like, I just you know, I know that's good.
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: That's that's tough for everybody just to create like that
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: type of like diligence in their life. What are a
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: couple of things that you like, I guess hang your
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: hat on when you look back, not hang your hat on,
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: but but really a test things too? Is it like
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: creating a routine and having mentors or certain or certain
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: therapies in your life, because that shit is hard to do,
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: especially when you come from like uh, I can only
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: imagine what like an addiction mindset is. But what everybody,
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: especially in America, like it's like it's all about chasing
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: the next thing and being on this hamter hamster wheel
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: of success, right, and you also about slowing down, like
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: not worrying about results, Like I know that takes a
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: lot of like diligence to like cultivate that. Like, what
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: are a couple of things that you would say or
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: a test that you're like, Man, these are a couple
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: of things I have to have no matter what that's
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: going to continue to allow me to have this mentality
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: about it.
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: Is it therapy, is it mentors? Is it a routine?
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: Is it structure?
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: Like?
- 1:05:48Speaker 8: What what are those things? Yeah, my guy Donnie would
- 1:05:51Speaker 8: call it non negotiables. Uh in the morning. It's like
- 1:05:55Speaker 8: you know, meditation and prayer, these journal things haven't Yeah,
- 1:05:59Speaker 8: have the therapist for me. It's going to meetings. Like
- 1:06:02Speaker 8: I went to a meeting last night as opposed to
- 1:06:04Speaker 8: riding the I don't know whatever, the the.
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Pedal thing down and Broadway.
- 1:06:10Speaker 8: I got connected and this old dude out of Steve
- 1:06:12Speaker 8: can't pick me up. Went to a meeting Like what
- 1:06:14Speaker 8: kind of meeting? Like a twelve step meeting? Damn man, Yeah,
- 1:06:19Speaker 8: that's just like an episcopal church. And you just you
- 1:06:21Speaker 8: just you found him through somebody else. So you found
- 1:06:23Speaker 8: him through it's a dude that I'm like a ogi
- 1:06:25Speaker 8: that I'm connected to.
- 1:06:27Speaker 6: Uh.
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: I was like, I'm being Nashville for me, and he's like,
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: I know, I know, just a guy. And so I
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: went with him.
- 1:06:32Speaker 8: And it's like, you know, going to meetings regularly and
- 1:06:35Speaker 8: having a community of people, uh in the meeting environment.
- 1:06:39Speaker 8: And so I have those people like outside of football,
- 1:06:41Speaker 8: so I can go there and just like you know,
- 1:06:43Speaker 8: be able to focus on the human beings, reading books,
- 1:06:48Speaker 8: you know, making music does a lot for me, uh
- 1:06:50Speaker 8: as far as you know, filling my cup up. So
- 1:06:53Speaker 8: it's making sure all those things are all in the mix.
- 1:06:57Speaker 8: You still you're still making beats like that, Yeah, I
- 1:07:00Speaker 8: told you I was making one this morning.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: Man, Hey we need one. It's funny, bro, I may
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: so we like don't have we don't have one.
- 1:07:09Speaker 8: I forget about beats all the time, Like I'll make
- 1:07:11Speaker 8: him and like I won't patter them out, I won't
- 1:07:13Speaker 8: finish him right. And so the other day I think
- 1:07:15Speaker 8: maybe been like a week ago, I found this beat
- 1:07:17Speaker 8: and it was called r I P.
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: Miss Compton.
- 1:07:20Speaker 8: I made it the day that I think the news
- 1:07:22Speaker 8: hit that your mom passed. And so I was like
- 1:07:25Speaker 8: making this beat, and I ended up going back and
- 1:07:26Speaker 8: finishing it like a few days ago, and I was like, like,
- 1:07:29Speaker 8: this is weird because I appreciate that. Man, You're gonna
- 1:07:31Speaker 8: get me emotional right now. No, that's awesome. Oh getting boys?
- 1:07:48Speaker 3: How do you how do you like?
- 1:07:49Speaker 5: What?
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: How do you how do you agree with that?
- 1:07:51Speaker 8: Because my best friend's mom died like three years ago,
- 1:07:56Speaker 8: and and she died from alcoholism, and he's he's sober now,
- 1:08:02Speaker 8: like his mom drank basically like drank herself to death.
- 1:08:06Speaker 8: And it's like and he is like, I don't know
- 1:08:08Speaker 8: if it ever really gets better, because he's always like.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: Man like, no, man, it never like gets better. I
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: mean it gets like I guess easier to cope with,
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: but it's just hard, bro. It's just like, you know,
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: it's one of those things where somebody that you just.
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: My bad man.
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: No, bro, I know it's all good to crowd to it,
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: just like you just get this uh silence, you know,
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: just like life happens quick, bro. And when we were
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: traveling to Cleveland and when it all happened and went down,
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: it was.
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: Just like a you know, a blood clot and it's
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: just over and this is a.
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: It's just like.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: You know, people who are close with their parents, or
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: you talk about your best friend or thinking of somebody
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: enough to like, you know, I made this beat, and
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: you know, some somebody like super important just leaves and
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: there's no like there's no like calls or anything else. Yeah,
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: I don't know how I like.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: Grieve with it other than like feel these emotions.
- 1:09:57Speaker 8: Right, That's what I feel like we talked about like
- 1:10:02Speaker 8: over the last five years for my journey. It's like
- 1:10:05Speaker 8: the best thing for me is like feeling everything, you know,
- 1:10:08Speaker 8: because the foundation of like addiction is like I don't
- 1:10:14Speaker 8: like the way that I feel right now, so I'm
- 1:10:15Speaker 8: trying to change it as quick as possible. Yeah, realizing
- 1:10:18Speaker 8: and feeling what you feel is when you learn the most,
- 1:10:22Speaker 8: like and you really truly experience life. You know, life
- 1:10:24Speaker 8: is supposed to be all, you know, great and everything,
- 1:10:27Speaker 8: like there's loss, like it's pain and stuff like that.
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: But it's like if I try to blot out all
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: the pain and everything, and there's like I.
- 1:10:33Speaker 8: Don't really have a realistic scale for what's good or not,
- 1:10:36Speaker 8: and so everything kind of just gets numbed out.
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: So it's like there's no way around.
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: And it's hard to because like being emotional in front
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: of people so hard, Like it's one of the emotions
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: like you wish you could just get away from right,
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: but you know it's not like you know it's important,
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: and you know it's not as again, it's not as
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: big of a deal as you feel like it is.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Like when it's happening, it's just hard, bro. Like I
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: was Mama's boy and there wasn't like signs of of
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: anything happening. Like she was like my accountant. She did everything,
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: like she would drive sixteen hours to move me from
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: house to house and drive by herself because it didn't
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: bother her, Like she would do anything everything.
- 1:11:18Speaker 9: For her boys. And uh, that's just hard, bro. Mom
- 1:11:28Speaker 9: gets a free shout out for show h. Yeah, appreciate
- 1:11:47Speaker 9: y'all boys. Yeah man, the hardest part is definitely having
- 1:11:51Speaker 9: a daughter now. But yeah, man, that's just tough. You
- 1:12:00Speaker 9: know you like listen to music, shout out to your
- 1:12:05Speaker 9: song on JP that you sent me.
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: Guys like n F.
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: You know who n F is. Yeah, I got put
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: on I got to put on him recently. Yeah.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: So when you said that about your best friend and
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: his mom done an alcoholism like his mom died like
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: overdosing and pills and stuff like that.
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: And he's somebody that.
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: Like his lyrics grab from like a deep part of
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: him that I'll sit there and like listen to.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: But uh, it's yeah, it's it's it's not easy.
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: And it never will be.
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: And I've had a like a lot of people help me,
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: like give me things, like Mike who came on. He
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: he had a big message to me when it had
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: happened that like really resonated with me on mastering yourself.
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: And there's always a little kid in you that once
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: mom or dad when something goes wrong and.
- 1:12:52Speaker 10: And uh.
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: Yeah, man, like there's no I don't have an answer
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: of sobody does. Like I'm all ears for it, but
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: it's like feel the emotions, man, Like it sucks because
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: you get pissed off when you think about it too
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: much because you it's like the why question and everything else.
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: But you realize you can't live in it that long
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: because how would that person want you to be living
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: right now?
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: And they didn't raise you to not fold.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: I'm not saying like people who go through that, everybody
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: grieves in their own way, but in my mind, I'm
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: like my mom didn't raise me to fold in times,
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: or you don't feel like you want to do shit,
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: or you just yeah, you just want to sit in
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: your feelings and like tell everybody else to fuck off.
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: I'll gather myself here fully in a minute. No, but
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: I appreciate you saying that, and I feel like it
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: brings up emotion too, because.
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: All of you guys were really uh, like they're.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: For me when you're playing a game, and you know,
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: I would have dudes coming up. Solomon Thomas was somebody
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: that I think about that I like didn't do solid Yeah,
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: solid dude, and everybody was like this.
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just saying Solomon.
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: But you come back in the facility after that like
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: week long of going to the funeral and everything else,
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: and you're playing a game like you're playing a performance
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: based game where I'm even at the funeral and everything else,
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: and you're kind of wondering, like, man, I'm talking with
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: coach Pisatci. He was so good to me, Mayo. The
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: organization was so good to me during that time. And
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: you have the anxiety of like I need to get
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: back soon, or like I had just gotten there and
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: if I put two games on not being there, like
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: they like they don't have any reason to like keep
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: me or you just have those anxieties built up because
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: we like live in this performance based world right throughout
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: our entire life with it.
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: It's our career.
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: Yeah, And when I got back, everybody like messages like man,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: say Jones saying something after a game like I saw everything,
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: and uh, the team just was so fucking cool to
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: me about it. Not that people aren't gonna be like
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: good to you about it, but I just felt like
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: when I got there, like Solomon's like hugging me, and
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: I barely known this dude. Like teammates that I barely
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: knew are like coming up to me, like, and you
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: feel like they're really there in front of you.
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: They're not just like saying like, hey, I'm.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: Sorry about your loss. Man, Like you like feel like
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: they're in front of you and they're like listening to you. Right,
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: So it's just brought up the kind of emotion. Now
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: A word from our sponsor Better Help No free shout
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: out to the boys of Better Help. How well would
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: you take care of your car if you had to
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: keep the same one your entire life. That's how our
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: brains work, so why don't we treat them that way?
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: How we care for our minds affects how we experience life,
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: so it's important to invest time and care into keeping
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: them healthy. There are plenty of wastes of to support
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: a healthy brain, like learning a new language or taking
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: power naps.
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: There's also Better Help online therapy.
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: What better pod for them to sponsor than the one

- 1:16:11Speaker 2: Waller where he talks about therapy.
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: He talks about his AA classes, having a mentor checking
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: in with himself. I am a big believer. My wife
- 1:16:20Speaker 1: and I we did premarital counseling. We continue to do
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: couples therapy. But Better Help is online therapy that offers video,
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: phone and even live chat only therapy sessions, so you

- 1:17:08Speaker 1: to uh to pivot off that we are looking for
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: beats all busting with the boys, and again, I do
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: appreciate you bringing that up. That was like anytime that happens,
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: I know, it just gets really quiet around me. We're
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: on camera and like lights are on and stuff, and
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: like I hate, like, as men, you hate being emotional
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: as it is, and it's just like you feel like
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: it's tough to navigating for me. Like, when I feel
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: like I'm in that emotion, it's hard for me to
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: like crawl out of it because I'm like, you just
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: kind of want to sit here and cry harder, but
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: then you keep yourself from crying harder, and so then
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: I just start talking and you feel like in your
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: voice and you just know, like right, it's just it's
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: just shitty, dude, And there's really no like perfect way
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: to cope with everything.
- 1:17:49Speaker 3: But shut up moms man, Yeah, shut up moms everywhere.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: But I did want to ask, like, as you're kind
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: of talking through like all the development that you and
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: going through, are there certain philosophies you you lean into
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: more than others, or authors that you enjoy not more
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: than others, or that you like cling towards, or or
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: books that you that you've read recently that you would
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: that you would shout out or like put people on
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: or like hey, this this episode really helps me.
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: Oh man.
- 1:18:19Speaker 8: Yeah, There's a book I read, uh not too long ago.
- 1:18:21Speaker 8: It's called The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, and it's a
- 1:18:26Speaker 8: it's a pastor. His name is John Mark Comer, amazing
- 1:18:30Speaker 8: author just the way he breaks uh shit down.
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: And that book was basically just saying, how like hurt
- 1:18:38Speaker 3: Like like the spirit of hurry is like.
- 1:18:41Speaker 8: Like the opposite of like a like a spiritual life,
- 1:18:44Speaker 8: because like we hurry from thing to thing or like
- 1:18:47Speaker 8: we gotta get this done and we got to get
- 1:18:48Speaker 8: to this next thing, you know, or get to this
- 1:18:51Speaker 8: next relationship or level up or whatever, and it's like
- 1:18:53Speaker 8: we don't take time to just sit and just be
- 1:18:56Speaker 8: and like reflect and you know, pray and just create
- 1:19:00Speaker 8: and create that time. You know, that's where it's like
- 1:19:02Speaker 8: I really started owning, uh, like going on trips by
- 1:19:05Speaker 8: myself and uh, you know he talks about you know,
- 1:19:10Speaker 8: taking a day sometimes to just be by yourself, or
- 1:19:13Speaker 8: like taking a day to like say no words like
- 1:19:16Speaker 8: and just like be in silence.
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: And it's just like things like that to just get
- 1:19:19Speaker 3: you to slow down.
- 1:19:20Speaker 8: And and like there's this last chapter of the book
- 1:19:23Speaker 8: where he recommends things to do, and he's like he
- 1:19:24Speaker 8: recommends driving in the speed limit, doing the speed limit
- 1:19:29Speaker 8: and being like in the slow lane, or like seeking
- 1:19:31Speaker 8: out the longest line in the grocery store and standing
- 1:19:35Speaker 8: in it and forcing yourself to wait and forcing yourself
- 1:19:37Speaker 8: to like develop patience and to not like get things
- 1:19:41Speaker 8: exactly when you want them, but to just like slow
- 1:19:44Speaker 8: down and not be trying to hustle and bustle and
- 1:19:47Speaker 8: move so fast and just like you know, create this
- 1:19:49Speaker 8: own pace or whatever. The pace that you know, God
- 1:19:52Speaker 8: wants you to move at is what you can own.
- 1:19:54Speaker 8: And it's like I really took from that because it's like,
- 1:19:56Speaker 8: especially in the football industry, it's like man man, man, bam,
- 1:19:59Speaker 8: and it's like, yeah, you start to see like your coaches,
- 1:20:02Speaker 8: like mental health are just like shot and they're just like,
- 1:20:05Speaker 8: oh yeah, like just strung out. And it's like all
- 1:20:07Speaker 8: these guys are and they're just like so anxious all
- 1:20:09Speaker 8: the time. Everything's so regimented.
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: Like when you get done with practice, you you want
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: to go and do your movement work, your prep work,
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: your recovery stuff.
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: I gotta go make disappointment that appointment. Uh do you
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: do these practices?
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:20:20Speaker 8: What are a couple that you've you've done? You see
- 1:20:23Speaker 8: after seeing it, it's like I can't see. Like sometimes
- 1:20:26Speaker 8: I do the speeding of one. Sometimes I don't.
- 1:20:28Speaker 2: It's hard.
- 1:20:28Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not gonna go out here in cap like
- 1:20:30Speaker 8: sometimes I'll do it because like a lot of times,
- 1:20:32Speaker 8: like you said, it's everything so regimen and like my
- 1:20:34Speaker 8: schedules like one thing to the next and the next.
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: It's like I may have to like put the foot
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: on the gas to get there on time. Everyone. Yeah,
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: But when I have the opportunity to do I will.
- 1:20:44Speaker 8: And it's like whenever I go, like I'm in Trader Joe's,
- 1:20:46Speaker 8: I'm like, no, I gotta get the longest line.
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: I just get in line and.
- 1:20:50Speaker 8: Just like you know, like pray in my head or
- 1:20:53Speaker 8: just like just just breathe like and just like create
- 1:20:56Speaker 8: time to just like connect to my breath and just
- 1:20:58Speaker 8: be in my body because it's a lot of time
- 1:21:00Speaker 8: I could just be like think about what I'm doing
- 1:21:02Speaker 8: like three weeks from now or you know like that,
- 1:21:05Speaker 8: or and it's just like those things aren't really serving
- 1:21:08Speaker 8: me in the moment.
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: So I have you done the day without speaking?
- 1:21:12Speaker 3: No, I haven't, but I've.
- 1:21:13Speaker 8: Done where It's like I'm going places and he says
- 1:21:18Speaker 8: recommends like doing twenty four hours in silence, like whether
- 1:21:21Speaker 8: it be like once every few months or like however
- 1:21:25Speaker 8: often you can do it, depending on like your circumstances.
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: And so it's like that's why I'm taking strips.
- 1:21:30Speaker 8: Like I went to like Tahoe last week Wednesday to Friday,
- 1:21:34Speaker 8: and I was.
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: There by myself, and you're just there by yourself, Yeah,
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: what are these strips by yourself?
- 1:21:39Speaker 6: Like?
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: So I got there.
- 1:21:43Speaker 8: We recorded a podcast as soon as I got there,
- 1:21:48Speaker 8: and then after that, I went right across the street
- 1:21:51Speaker 8: from my hotel. It was like this beach and you
- 1:21:54Speaker 8: look over lakes like the mountains that she looks like
- 1:21:56Speaker 8: the ocean with like mountains around it as far and
- 1:22:00Speaker 8: I just you know, got some food sitting out there,
- 1:22:03Speaker 8: supposed a cigar, and oh I love that, went to
- 1:22:06Speaker 8: my room, made a beat, went to sleep, and then
- 1:22:09Speaker 8: the next day I got up early on a peloton
- 1:22:14Speaker 8: and then just kicked it. And then I got this
- 1:22:17Speaker 8: dude to take me on a tour of Lake Tahoe,
- 1:22:19Speaker 8: like all around the lake. It's like an all day thing,
- 1:22:21Speaker 8: like six hours or something, and just seeing the different
- 1:22:24Speaker 8: spots and just walking around taking pictures and just taking
- 1:22:27Speaker 8: in all the scenery and you know, so it's just wait,
- 1:22:31Speaker 8: like waste for me to slow down and just be
- 1:22:32Speaker 8: there because it's like, you know, you come from OTA's
- 1:22:35Speaker 8: and Mini Camp and it's just like ding ding ding
- 1:22:36Speaker 8: ding ding ding all these little things, and it's just
- 1:22:38Speaker 8: like any opportunities I can create, but it'd be a
- 1:22:41Speaker 8: few minutes in my day or I get a few
- 1:22:43Speaker 8: days to go somewhere like that.
- 1:22:45Speaker 3: Like it's just nourishing for the spirit, damn man.
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: So you recommend it, yeah, for sure, Like going on
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: trips by yourself is fire.
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: People gotta get more cat right there.
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: People gotta get more comfortable just being by themselves.
- 1:22:59Speaker 10: You know.
- 1:23:00Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like then because I recognize that and like
- 1:23:03Speaker 8: you know, relationships with women, it's like you get to
- 1:23:05Speaker 8: a point where it's like you kind of need them
- 1:23:07Speaker 8: to validate you or you need them there to feel
- 1:23:10Speaker 8: their love. But it's like, hey, you got to come
- 1:23:12Speaker 8: to that relationship with your coup full, like loving yourself,
- 1:23:16Speaker 8: and then it's like, y'all two can basically like link
- 1:23:18Speaker 8: up there and you know already with love there, so
- 1:23:21Speaker 8: it doesn't become like a codependent relationship, you know. And
- 1:23:24Speaker 8: that's how toxicity, toxic shit happens. And that's you know,
- 1:23:27Speaker 8: been my relationships for a while, you know. So it's
- 1:23:31Speaker 8: just like opportunities like that, like taking those trips and
- 1:23:34Speaker 8: being with yourself and not distracting yourself from what you're
- 1:23:37Speaker 8: thinking but really just being there and feeling what you're
- 1:23:39Speaker 8: feeling and stuff like that. Like it goes a long way,
- 1:23:42Speaker 8: and it translates to the rest of your life.
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: Is is Darren Waller, see is something we can talk about.
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: Are you a single man and you you got a
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: relationship going on? I feel like you were kind of alluding.

- 1:24:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I around tight end.
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: I'm always putting Foster at the top of the list. Bro, Like,
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: this is gonna be my last year playing with Foster.
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: Why do you say that he's a start, He's just
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: starting tight end, Like I mean the McDaniel's offense. Bro,
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: I'm talking yeah, but I mean it's like his contract
- 1:24:50Speaker 3: after this year.
- 1:24:51Speaker 8: Yeah, that's why that's why I say it's probably be
- 1:24:55Speaker 8: my last year, because feel like somebody gonna offer him
- 1:24:57Speaker 8: and see, like you saw when he was in there
- 1:24:59Speaker 8: last year, You're like, then, like just the place that
- 1:25:02Speaker 8: he's made over the years, Like he made some freaky
- 1:25:05Speaker 8: things happen, and it's like he's a he's a starting
- 1:25:08Speaker 8: tight end.
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: But he's about ball to the dude loves ball.
- 1:25:10Speaker 8: Yeah, he'd be he'd be coaching like he's like legit
- 1:25:14Speaker 8: like a coach on the field, like slick, like he'd
- 1:25:17Speaker 8: be telling other people like responsibilities like somebody like this.
- 1:25:20Speaker 8: He's like, man, you got this, you got this, Like
- 1:25:22Speaker 8: he coached me up, Like hey man, don't forget to

- 1:25:31Speaker 8: definitely Foster Man, all those dudes are good Man to
- 1:25:36Speaker 8: be real, Yeah, it's tough, man.
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: How what what year you going into?
- 1:25:42Speaker 3: You're seven?
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: How do you, uh, how do you stay in love
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: with like the game and the process of it and
- 1:25:50Speaker 1: everything else? Because I'm sure there are probably times when
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: you were going through your sobriety works where you weren't
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: in love with the game, then you fell back in
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: love with it, but not any of the work. Again,
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: the how diligent you have to be and like all
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: the processes that goes into be a being a professional athlete.
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: How do you stay in love with the game?
- 1:26:12Speaker 8: I would say, uh, I mean just watching like dudes
- 1:26:17Speaker 8: like YouTube highlight mixes, like when I was a kid,
- 1:26:19Speaker 8: you know, shit like that, watching dudes go crazy I'm
- 1:26:21Speaker 8: just like, man, yeah, like that's like that's the ship
- 1:26:24Speaker 8: like that we love, you know. And then kind of
- 1:26:26Speaker 8: like I talked to you about, like when I'm like
- 1:26:27Speaker 8: reflecting and journalist stuff like that, it's you know, when
- 1:26:30Speaker 8: I'm out there and like I feel like I'm I
- 1:26:33Speaker 8: have something to give to the team, you know, then
- 1:26:35Speaker 8: I can just you know, I get lost in the moments,
- 1:26:37Speaker 8: just like being out there and like laughing with dudes
- 1:26:39Speaker 8: and like you know, they're playing music at practice and
- 1:26:41Speaker 8: you get hyped to that and it's just like welcome
- 1:26:43Speaker 8: in like the competitive spirit of like the one on
- 1:26:45Speaker 8: ones and seven on seven periods and just like you know,
- 1:26:50Speaker 8: start catching a few balls and just like just being pressient,
- 1:26:53Speaker 8: just like reminding myself every day of why I enjoy
- 1:26:57Speaker 8: being out here, like and just like you know, meditating
- 1:27:00Speaker 8: like when I was a kid and how much you
- 1:27:02Speaker 8: know joy it brought me in realizing that.
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: That joy goes away only when I like give it
- 1:27:07Speaker 3: away or when I allow somebody to take it.
- 1:27:10Speaker 8: Yeah, if I stay mindful of it, and you know,
- 1:27:14Speaker 8: keep that on my mind when I'm going through individual
- 1:27:16Speaker 8: drills and stuff like that, because it's easy to just
- 1:27:18Speaker 8: the perspective to like fuck I got this, but it's
- 1:27:21Speaker 8: like se all like got to versus get to mindset,
- 1:27:25Speaker 8: and it's like all that clichestion people were telling us,
- 1:27:27Speaker 8: like if you really implement that.
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: Ship, there's just no question or money. Do you feel like, uh,
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: who's the who's the defender that has had your number one?
- 1:27:39Speaker 3: Guarden? You won on one? I can't really go with
- 1:27:43Speaker 3: having my number one person having my number.
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: Who's the who's the one person who maybe thinks they
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: have your number?
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:27:51Speaker 8: I mean I know I always always get a big
- 1:27:53Speaker 8: respect to Derham James because we always go like back
- 1:27:55Speaker 8: and forth, like I win some reps, he'll win some reps.
- 1:28:00Speaker 8: That's the probably the most even matchup. Most teams like
- 1:28:02Speaker 8: throw a lot of different people at me, Like there's
- 1:28:04Speaker 8: not really just like one person that's just like following
- 1:28:07Speaker 8: me around. So I mean there's one game like we
- 1:28:10Speaker 8: played the Dolphins Byron Jones followed me around and now
- 1:28:13Speaker 8: I enjoyed that matchup that was like I got him
- 1:28:15Speaker 8: a few times and he was on me a couple
- 1:28:17Speaker 8: of times. But there's not like one person where I
- 1:28:20Speaker 8: was just like I don't feel like like like he
- 1:28:23Speaker 8: just won the matchup.
- 1:28:25Speaker 3: I can't say that's anybody.
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: Is there a backer, a linebacker other than that you
- 1:28:29Speaker 1: would give respect to that you've see and you're like,
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: I mean he's got a little more to him than
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: the majority of these boys out here.
- 1:28:35Speaker 3: Oh, it's a lot of good. I thought you about
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: to ask a linebacker covering me, That's what.
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: I am asking.
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: No, you see a linebacker on you, excluding myself, Like
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: you see a linebacker on you, You're like, all right,
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: I'm gonna give this boy uh more props than everybody
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: else in the league.
- 1:28:49Speaker 8: I mean, I don't even really see linebackers. It must
- 1:28:51Speaker 8: be if it's like a zone, then it's like a
- 1:28:52Speaker 8: linebackers in that zone. But man, and man, I can't
- 1:28:55Speaker 8: tell you the last time a linebacker guard man.
- 1:28:58Speaker 3: You're an approch situation and you're saying, there's no line
- 1:29:01Speaker 3: linebacker out there.
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: They can hold you. That's what I'm saying. What about safety?
- 1:29:08Speaker 8: Very few I put like going toe to toe like
- 1:29:12Speaker 8: Derwin James, Uh, Justin Simmons, Minka Fence. Patrick is usually
- 1:29:21Speaker 8: in the post like we played it, man, we played
- 1:29:25Speaker 8: a Steeler. There's just like a gang of people around me.
- 1:29:28Speaker 8: Like everywhere else going, you know, So it's like, I
- 1:29:30Speaker 8: don't know, they're not really putting these people on islands
- 1:29:32Speaker 8: to play man the man like that. If they are,
- 1:29:36Speaker 8: it'll be like the Dophins day, Like it'll be like
- 1:29:37Speaker 8: your corner or like your best coverage defender.
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: But then it's like you're throtaining the mix. They can't really.
- 1:29:42Speaker 2: I was gonna say, now it's gonna be hard to
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: do because bro, and not only that, but there's like.
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: There's like, uh specific roles within all that talent as well,
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: like you got i mean on third down between you
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: and Hunter and you now you're adding uh Davante Adams
- 1:30:01Speaker 1: in the mix not to sleep on like Josh Jacobs
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: in the fucking backfield.
- 1:30:06Speaker 3: Motherfuckers. If I just don't get down the job, I
- 1:30:08Speaker 3: thought they're gonna have to be like, well, ship, how
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: are you gonna play man? Right?
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't do that. The most you're gonna yeah,
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: the most you can do is what double the stars?
- 1:30:18Speaker 1: Or you just try to pick out two guys that
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: you want to double? But which two are you double?
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: Because everybody else is on an island, Okay, there's nobody deep.
- 1:30:25Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna back off and play zone then
- 1:30:28Speaker 3: gosh Jacob.
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you have to give up what pass
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: rush because you're gonna win your ends to try and
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: hit you or jamu or hit people at the line
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: of scrimmage.
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting, man, in what way? And like
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: getting the ball?
- 1:30:52Speaker 5: You know, there's there's obviously so much talent on the field.
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: Oh yeah, good question.
- 1:30:56Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, And I feel like that's one thing
- 1:30:58Speaker 5: that the Raiders have done right. Like you, for instance,
- 1:31:01Speaker 5: you're established, you know what, you are right comfortable with that.
- 1:31:04Speaker 5: Davante Adams has had success elsewhere, Josh Jason Jacobs has
- 1:31:08Speaker 5: had success. I think the Raiders have done a good
- 1:31:12Speaker 5: job and bringing those guys in because they they're comfortable
- 1:31:15Speaker 5: with themselves. So I personally don't think it would be
- 1:31:17Speaker 5: an issue. But you being in the locker room, do
- 1:31:20Speaker 5: you do you foresee you know, that being an issue
- 1:31:24Speaker 5: just for.
- 1:31:24Speaker 8: The personality guys, I don't think so. You know, I
- 1:31:27Speaker 8: came from Georgia Tech, where I had fifty one catches
- 1:31:31Speaker 8: in four years, so it's like.
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: I know what it's like to have little. I know
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: what it's like to have a lot, you know, So
- 1:31:37Speaker 3: it's just like, but I think too listening.
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: To you talk about how you handle like one game
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: you might get five catches or five targets, but you're
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: winning those games and the way you've had to deal
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: with that stuff mentally mentally, like yeah, maybe if you
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: guys are like neck and neck or you're losing the game,
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: it could be like you speak to the part of
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: you to where you want to develop that vocalizing it
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: a little bit more like hey, like come on.
- 1:31:59Speaker 3: DC, built for these moments. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, where.
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: You got to say something. But also like, man, that's true,
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: like you they you guys have some like good personalities.
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: Now I don't know Davante at all, but him playing
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: in college with Derek and it seems like they have
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: a really good relationship. He just seems like one of
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: the guys. And we all know Hunter like that man's
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: gonna go out there and eat. If you don't throw
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: the ball he don't, He's gonna pack whoever that catches
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: it on the back. So I do feel like you
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: guys got a good core group of guys, and you
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: guys are tough.
- 1:32:29Speaker 11: Man.
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: I'm excited, yeah, man, toughest team in the NFC West.
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: All of them.
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: Bro, Yeah, he didn't fall home over. Foster's like, you're
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: not gonna get me. I said, so we can agree
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: that y'all have the toughest team in the AFC West.
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: He's like, no, everybody, Yeah, should we do tiar talk?
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: Do we have a tear talk?
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: We had a couple Are you familiar with tiar talk?

- 1:36:32Speaker 3: Boy, I can't let this. I can't. Yeah, what's your
- 1:36:34Speaker 3: take on what's your take on Gatorade zero? I don't.
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: I mean to be honest, I'm not the biggest I
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: grew out of like drinking Gatorade, like just slapping Gatorade
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: all the time.
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: Like I'm gonna go back to you. Like yesterday there
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: was like a g fit. I was like, oh damn sick.
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: Like now I can feel like I'm drinking a healthier Gatorade.
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: I didn't look at the ingredients, but I'm sure it has,
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: uh whether it superlose, super loose or whatever, justn't the
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: best ingredient.
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: It's kind of just like a little hidden like a
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: bunch of Yeah.
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: So the Gatorade zero, I don't know, Like I'm looking
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: at those bottles and I don't really know if i've
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: I might have had it a couple times, like in college,
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: like I was big on doing G two because the
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: nutritionists was like, oh, this is less calories, right, you
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: know what I mean?
- 1:37:23Speaker 2: But before that, it's usually just the original Gatorades.
- 1:37:26Speaker 3: They're real G two tastes like cough syrup bro Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:37:31Speaker 3: that is true.
- 1:37:32Speaker 1: All right, boys, we bring you this ad read from
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: one of our most trusted and favorite sponsors out there,

- 1:39:23Speaker 8: like an animated character. Johnny Bravo, Yeah, yeah, ear flows.
- 1:39:30Speaker 3: He's got the budget, like the cartoon budget. And Tommy

- 1:42:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go Tier one just so, only based
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: off like you're fucking struggling in the heat that lemon
- 1:43:04Speaker 1: lime hits HiT's different, like when you are overheated. But
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: I wouldn't get it for really, I wouldn't get it
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: to be casual. But when you're down bad and it's
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: one hundred degrees out there.
- 1:43:14Speaker 3: That's the only when I That's really only when I
- 1:43:16Speaker 3: want them. I don't really want them casually.
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying when you said in game it's
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: spark like spartan, Like, yeah, that in game drink. But
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: if I'm being like casual taste everything else, I like
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: white at three and light blew it two.
- 1:43:30Speaker 3: Those are mine.
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: Anybody else want to partake in this?
- 1:43:34Speaker 1: Anybody feels strongly about their Gatorade options, we do a
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: back of the bus column.
- 1:43:39Speaker 3: I think we could really only refer to casually.
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: Come on, now, blush, you went, you went out there
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: and to think of it out there in Afghanistan, like
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: and you found a gatorade.
- 1:43:51Speaker 3: Yeah, we were drinking rip it. What is that that
- 1:43:57Speaker 3: whirst it? It's like an energy drink. It's like, yesh crazy,
- 1:44:02Speaker 3: she got three and something else like a white monster
- 1:44:07Speaker 3: good God, like the egg games drink. Bro.
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: But you guys come on that like just because you're
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: not professional, Like, let's all not act like we haven't
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: been in high school sports or even younger and we're
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: out there just fucking Why don't we go to a monk,
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: we go to the gas station on the way home.
- 1:44:24Speaker 3: The frost is mine? That what?
- 1:44:25Speaker 4: That was my one?
- 1:44:26Speaker 3: When you said it was your two, I was like,
- 1:44:27Speaker 3: that's my one. Yeah.
- 1:44:29Speaker 4: No one said the blue or grape I fuck with
- 1:44:32Speaker 4: the grape heavy.
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: Well how would you rank them?
- 1:44:36Speaker 4: Three would probably be orange? Uh and then given the
- 1:44:43Speaker 4: certain day blue cool, blue and grape good interchange for me.
- 1:44:49Speaker 4: But I have to say probably grape HiT's number one
- 1:44:52Speaker 4: for me. But also when you take it too much,
- 1:44:55Speaker 4: it gets a little surpy.
- 1:44:56Speaker 3: You can only have so much.
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that, bro.
- 1:45:01Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, the fears not the g two or this light,
- 1:45:05Speaker 4: not this light.
- 1:45:07Speaker 3: That's rip rush that on his that was you, That
- 1:45:11Speaker 3: was you that one back there. Yeah, zeros are straight.
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure they taste good, but I like when
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: he asked that, I'm thinking like.
- 1:45:27Speaker 3: People that are really zero nasty bro I can't like,
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: but I don't taste that much different, right, I mean, you.
- 1:45:34Speaker 1: Know how everybody is. They want to be purest, they
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: want to be in with the originals. Then getorad purist.
- 1:45:41Speaker 6: Man number one. Tier one is lemon lime in the can.
- 1:45:49Speaker 6: The can Gatorade hits the can is different and hits.
- 1:45:55Speaker 6: Tier two Glacier Freeze light blue also good during games.
- 1:46:00Speaker 6: Tier three Rip Tide Rush. I like all like the
- 1:46:03Speaker 6: lighter ones that you could have during games, but that
- 1:46:06Speaker 6: aren't like Gesus colors, the Rip Tide Rush light purple,
- 1:46:09Speaker 6: light purple.
- 1:46:10Speaker 1: Okay, yeah see I'm better. I'm better with just staying
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: the color. Hey we were close, Hey, we were close.
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: Matter of fact, that that Lemon Lion can. You knew
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: you were gonna kill it with that one, because that's detail.
- 1:46:24Speaker 1: That's like, that's detail you want in these conversations. Okay,
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: like you say, you know, not just like lemon lime
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: punch orange.
- 1:46:33Speaker 3: My bad, right, but.
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that that's that detail you want.
- 1:46:39Speaker 7: I think my three, starting at three is gonna be
- 1:46:42Speaker 7: the the blue right there next to lemon lime.
- 1:46:47Speaker 3: Two. I don't know.
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: With the royal blue.
- 1:46:55Speaker 3: Cool okay, but what's the other blue? Yeah?
- 1:46:58Speaker 2: I was just thinking that what.
- 1:47:04Speaker 3: The white one is not called white cherry? Is it?
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: I thought so?
- 1:47:08Speaker 3: I think I have one yesterday raw some frost. Isn't
- 1:47:10Speaker 3: it cherry? All right, I'm going cool blue. Three glaciers

- 1:47:24Speaker 3: Three is the cool blue.
- 1:47:25Speaker 7: Three is cool blue, and then two is probably whatever
