- 3:41Speaker 2: I do you love the fight game so much? You're
- 3:44Speaker 2: you watch it every weekend. It doesn't have to be
- 3:46Speaker 2: a man event or a pay per view.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Yeah. I was a little bit like when THEO was
- 3:50Speaker 1: known as the guy who watches the early prelims. I'm like, buddy,
- 3:54Speaker 1: this should be me. I've been doing this since nineteen
- 3:56Speaker 1: and you.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Do it for real like this isn't there's no there's
- 4:00Speaker 2: no theatrical element or like no expectation. When Steell gets
- 4:03Speaker 2: seen on once says he have to be in and
- 4:04Speaker 2: every time like you're like, no, this is you.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Know, said, hey, if you need some sport, you have
- 4:10Speaker 1: seen Mexicos on tonight Moraine overs Kavanaugh.
- 4:13Speaker 2: You did, Yeah, you did. But I've dropped a couple
- 4:15Speaker 2: of parlays when I blindly ride with oh I don't.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hey that that you saw the balance. It's
- 4:20Speaker 1: at zero right now. We'll wait until next next football season.
- 4:23Speaker 2: But you you you like to you like to bet
- 4:24Speaker 2: during the fight.
- 4:26Speaker 1: I do. I'm a I'm a live live better, you're
- 4:28Speaker 1: a live.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Better what you can do on FanDuel? You have thoughts
- 4:30Speaker 2: on Halloway, OLIVERA, I.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Don't giving it much thought, but I think it's gonna
- 4:36Speaker 1: be a great fight. I think man Halloway is just
- 4:38Speaker 1: to look remarkable since he's moved up weight classes. I
- 4:41Speaker 1: think I would like to see Halloway on the ground
- 4:44Speaker 1: with Oliver. I want to see them two roll, just
- 4:46Speaker 1: because Oliver is an absolute stud, you know with his
- 4:48Speaker 1: jiu jitsu. But I know they get right. Well yeah,
- 4:53Speaker 1: I mean you would say, yes, he's he's got the
- 4:55Speaker 1: you know, he's he's he's dominant probably the most submissions,
- 4:59Speaker 1: you know something. Yeah, he's got it. But like Holloway,
- 5:01Speaker 1: like they want to see him trade and bang, and
- 5:02Speaker 1: that's what Oliveraria has said. He's I'm gonna stand with him.
- 5:05Speaker 1: I'm gonna get hurt, but I'm gonna keep coming. Yeah,
- 5:08Speaker 1: didn't work with him when he fought uh Ilia, but
- 5:10Speaker 1: we'll see it should be a good fun JP.
- 5:11Speaker 2: You got it. You got a dog in the fight
- 5:13Speaker 2: on this one. Not really.
- 5:16Speaker 5: I think I aligned with Clay also.
- 5:19Speaker 6: I mean Charles, he's still he's like older in the
- 5:22Speaker 6: weight class, but he's just been in the UFC for
- 5:24Speaker 6: so long, so it feels like he's older than he
- 5:25Speaker 6: actually is. Yeah, and I kind of wonder when he's
- 5:28Speaker 6: going to be done. I know he loves the game,
- 5:30Speaker 6: but I would love to see if he went out
- 5:32Speaker 6: on a win over Max Holloway and then left the
- 5:34Speaker 6: gloves because he's not really going to get a title again.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I'd have to I'd have to look at the the
- 5:41Speaker 1: class he's fighting in because I know that what is
- 5:43Speaker 1: he is? He one seventy, he's lightweight one fifty.
- 5:46Speaker 2: You're supposed to be the UFC guy right now.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Well, the weight classes are all over the place, brother,
- 5:50Speaker 1: what's flyweight, welterweight, middleweight? I get you, light heavyweight and heavyweight,
- 5:54Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it's tough to keep up with those,
- 5:58Speaker 1: all right, So I'll yeah, or give me Holloway. I'm
- 6:03Speaker 1: taking give me Okay Holloway by ko.
- 6:08Speaker 5: Okay Olvera by submission.
- 6:10Speaker 2: I'm just doing You're you're giving. You're giving game to
- 6:13Speaker 2: the money line fans out there, the money Line Matthew fans.
- 6:16Speaker 1: But hey, maybe wait till the wait till you know
- 6:18Speaker 1: the first round is underway so we can see how
- 6:19Speaker 1: it goes. You'd hate for him to get him on
- 6:21Speaker 1: the ground. You know those odds start shifting live live odds.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, another question for you. Let's get immersive on
- 6:27Speaker 2: some Clay Matthews, this is your co host and busting
- 6:30Speaker 2: with the boys today. What you've been up to since
- 6:32Speaker 2: the locker room?
- 6:33Speaker 1: Man, Man, I just you know that ice storm we
- 6:38Speaker 1: had was real. Been doing a lot of clean up. Yeah,
- 6:40Speaker 1: got two chain saws, chain sauce, shout out steel. They
- 6:44Speaker 1: want to hook me up with another one unless you
- 6:48Speaker 1: give me another one. But uh, yeah, I've been doing
- 6:51Speaker 1: a lot of cleanup. We're also moving. As we talked
- 6:53Speaker 1: about moving homes, we bought our home and uh, when
- 6:57Speaker 1: we moved out here five years ago, pretty much sight
- 6:59Speaker 1: on scene. That's how the market was in twenty twenty one. Yeah,
- 7:02Speaker 1: all cash off or way over asking price. We got
- 7:05Speaker 1: in beautiful neighborhood. Love kind of where we're ats out
- 7:09Speaker 1: in the middle of it takes like twenty five minutes
- 7:11Speaker 1: to get to sixty fives. But we've you know, finally
- 7:15Speaker 1: found a home, purchased it. My wife's been renovating it
- 7:18Speaker 1: for over a year now, so we're ready to move in.
- 7:20Speaker 1: And yeah, it's been a little difficult, you know, because
- 7:22Speaker 1: I'm just my personality type. I don't trust people with
- 7:26Speaker 1: my stuff. So whether it's you know, my firearms, my tools,
- 7:28Speaker 1: my memory. I've been moving up and your wheel of cheese. Yeah, no,
- 7:31Speaker 1: I left that for you boys. I was a gift.
- 7:33Speaker 1: You still have it though, right.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Something like that, I think, yeah, yeah, we might have
- 7:37Speaker 2: donated it.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Is that why the mice were coming into the wet We.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Got freaking mouses. Now we got mice.
- 7:46Speaker 1: You had mice before I was here. No, Bro, this
- 7:48Speaker 1: place always stunk. I'm glad you cleaned it up, though.
- 7:51Speaker 2: The wheel of cheese didn't help.
- 7:53Speaker 1: No, it didn't help. But it was a gift.
- 7:56Speaker 2: You were supposed to bring in tools so we could
- 7:57Speaker 2: eat it, and you never brought in tools.
- 8:00Speaker 1: You're right, I did say that, but it was an
- 8:04Speaker 1: opportunity for you to come save the day. So no,
- 8:06Speaker 1: just like when you reach out, actually you know what,
- 8:08Speaker 1: you always do reach out to me to see it
- 8:09Speaker 1: saved the day. That's why I'm here sitting down, So
- 8:11Speaker 1: I should have brought that. Anyways, getting back to your question,
- 8:14Speaker 1: move in. Okay, we got the kids spring break coming up.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Poetry night at the kids' school. My daughter wrote about basketball.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Helped her with that rhyme a little bit. But yeah,

- 8:26Speaker 1: to be failing at both. But trying my hardest you know,

- 15:25Speaker 2: Will Compton is a better tester than Clay Matthews.
- 15:29Speaker 1: In in what.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Tester combine even run.
- 15:34Speaker 1: You weren't even invited to the combine? How can you
- 15:36Speaker 1: have better numbers than me?
- 15:39Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 15:39Speaker 1: Pro day when you can just fabricate your numbers.
- 15:42Speaker 2: You can't fabricate your Okay, why did you?
- 15:44Speaker 1: Brother?
- 15:44Speaker 2: Why did you fabricate better numbers?
- 15:46Speaker 1: Because I was I had all thirty two eyes on
- 15:49Speaker 1: me from thirty two organizations network. No, you did it?
- 15:53Speaker 1: Twenty ten when Sue came out, did people start caring
- 15:55Speaker 1: about Nebraska?
- 15:57Speaker 2: I was, I was post, I was post Sue post
- 16:00Speaker 2: to post twenty ten?
- 16:02Speaker 7: Who was?
- 16:02Speaker 2: What year did you come out defensive? MVP?
- 16:06Speaker 1: What the Blue Bonnet Bowl? Nebraska of Nebraska? Yeah, brother,
- 16:14Speaker 1: I went on time time are you trying to discredit that.
- 16:18Speaker 1: What all of it?
- 16:18Speaker 2: You're trying to say that's fluff?
- 16:20Speaker 1: Your four or five four is fluff. So I asked
- 16:23Speaker 1: these boys last night, I said, what are we going
- 16:25Speaker 1: to talk about that we're gona talk about the combine.
- 16:26Speaker 1: They're like, yo, check out this PDF just so you
- 16:28Speaker 1: can run down what current affairs that we might talk about.
- 16:31Speaker 1: And I see, all right, they're comparing claying Will's numbers.
- 16:34Speaker 1: I go four or five four like you were scooting.
- 16:35Speaker 1: If it was four or five four. I couldn't validate
- 16:37Speaker 1: that anywhere. There's one clip online of Nebraska where the
- 16:42Speaker 1: clock starts like a half a second after you leave,
- 16:44Speaker 1: after you leave, like it's not official.
- 16:47Speaker 2: I see you're watching tape.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Yeah I was, because I was like, hey, if you
- 16:53Speaker 1: win a four or five four, I'll give it to you.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Who are you calling your dad? Hey, did head strength
- 16:57Speaker 2: coach Nebraska?
- 16:59Speaker 1: Or she's gonna lie? Freeze?
- 17:00Speaker 2: He's not gonna lie. This is the main of honor
- 17:02Speaker 2: and integrity. How would you remember?
- 17:06Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 17:06Speaker 8: All right?
- 17:07Speaker 2: Good?
- 17:07Speaker 7: Oh?
- 17:07Speaker 2: Here is he picked up here? All right, Coach Dobson,
- 17:12Speaker 2: you're you're on busting with the boys, But we have
- 17:14Speaker 2: a question for you because everybody. I know, they're all
- 17:20Speaker 2: coming after me. They're saying, Clay, I got Clay Matthew
- 17:23Speaker 2: sitting on the bus. He's like, I can't validate your
- 17:25Speaker 2: forty times anywhere. So I picked up my phone and
- 17:28Speaker 2: I called you. Let these people know what I ran
- 17:30Speaker 2: on pro day.
- 17:33Speaker 10: Well, going into it, you didn't do hardly all some maximum.
- 17:37Speaker 3: Stuff because you had that hur of the deal, so.
- 17:39Speaker 1: We didn't even know what you were gonna be able
- 17:41Speaker 1: to do at all, especially the progility three that right.
- 17:45Speaker 2: But I remember, right electronic four.
- 17:48Speaker 6: Or five.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Honestly, always needed to remember exactly what it was.
- 17:54Speaker 7: But I know you're ten.
- 17:56Speaker 11: I think it was a one five one?
- 17:59Speaker 1: What that me? Funny? It was one four nine one
- 18:01Speaker 1: five one.
- 18:04Speaker 2: One five to one is what he's saying about, because
- 18:06Speaker 2: that's what hang on the that's what hung on the
- 18:07Speaker 2: wall for the record for the.
- 18:10Speaker 7: Lea.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Yeah he was good.
- 18:12Speaker 1: He was good action but yeah, I mean it, but
- 18:15Speaker 1: legit bullshit four.
- 18:19Speaker 10: Five love Whatever the hell it was, I can't remember.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Hey, slow it down. The clock doesn't even that's the lore.
- 18:26Speaker 1: And then see what I'm talking about, go back. The
- 18:28Speaker 1: clock doesn't even start.
- 18:30Speaker 2: So I think somebody just put that clock there, bro.
- 18:32Speaker 1: But it stops. Look at this, it stops that that
- 18:35Speaker 1: you're already in a full sprint. It's point zero six,
- 18:37Speaker 1: like every hundredth of a second matters.
- 18:40Speaker 2: I appreciate you because we're all having like a nice
- 18:43Speaker 2: silly goose time. We love the bus balls. We're laughing
- 18:45Speaker 2: at what you could be saying. But I love how
- 18:47Speaker 2: you're carrying this with such professionalism, and you remember it,
- 18:51Speaker 2: and you're you're a no nonsense guy, So I appreciate
- 18:53Speaker 2: you delivering that news for him. I'm not gonna lie
- 18:56Speaker 2: about it. It doesn't be absolutely no good.
- 18:58Speaker 8: And and I'll be honest with it's surprised the sh out.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Of me too.
- 19:07Speaker 8: You're the man.
- 19:08Speaker 2: I love you. I'll call you on my way home. Hey,
- 19:11Speaker 2: I love you.
- 19:13Speaker 1: He's not gonna say right now. Did you hear that? Hey,
- 19:16Speaker 1: that's a strength coach right there. He sounded likely. That's yeah,
- 19:19Speaker 1: that's solid though, Like I gotta if you can run
- 19:22Speaker 1: into four fives, so my pro day, I ran in
- 19:25Speaker 1: the four fives as well to handtime. But I don't
- 19:27Speaker 1: know if that's an electric time.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Yeah, handtime, he were he was saying electronic. There were
- 19:32Speaker 2: some that popped up one on the hand.
- 19:35Speaker 1: When I ran at the combine, it was like four
- 19:37Speaker 1: or five four four five six, And then when the
- 19:39Speaker 1: electronics like four to six, I was like, god, lead
- 19:41Speaker 1: like that just jumped back quite considerably. But the ten
- 19:45Speaker 1: yards split is what I've always said, like, that's my
- 19:48Speaker 1: get off, my acceleration, my burst is always what separate me.
- 19:51Speaker 1: And that's the bread butter, especially as a pass rusher.
- 19:53Speaker 1: And I was second in the entire combine to Percy
- 19:56Speaker 1: Harvin who had a one four eight ten yards no ship,
- 19:58Speaker 1: no ship. Yeah, Well was your size?
- 20:00Speaker 2: What were your measurables?
- 20:01Speaker 1: I was forty six three and five eights.
- 20:06Speaker 2: To forty to specimen.
- 20:09Speaker 1: I don't know. I ain't really care about that stuff.
- 20:13Speaker 1: You have to get a combine right here, you have
- 20:15Speaker 1: hard measurable Yeah.
- 20:17Speaker 2: What was your bring up the numbers again? What was
- 20:19Speaker 2: your pro agility?
- 20:20Speaker 1: I did well in the the agilities.
- 20:25Speaker 2: You only got twenty three reps on twenty five.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Well, I mean how many? How many did you only get?
- 20:30Speaker 2: Oh, if you wanted to beat me, you'd had to
- 20:31Speaker 2: get twenty four.
- 20:32Speaker 1: You probably weren't even locking out your elbows, Like I said,
- 20:34Speaker 1: I had the coaches on.
- 20:35Speaker 2: It, I will say I have shorter arms.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Okay, well that's all right though, Like the bench press
- 20:41Speaker 1: is so overrated now. I know this is a whole
- 20:43Speaker 1: gimmick you're doing right now, But like, if I can
- 20:45Speaker 1: speak candidately, like the bench press, like as long as
- 20:48Speaker 1: you don't ship the bed and get like eight to
- 20:50Speaker 1: ten reps like you get, you get eighteen twenty twenty five,
- 20:54Speaker 1: And then I think there's also something to be said
- 20:56Speaker 1: unless you're a line if you're like a linebacker cranking
- 20:58Speaker 1: out thirty five reps, like you might be a stiff.
- 21:02Speaker 2: That might be too That's yeah, that's too much, too
- 21:04Speaker 2: much for I would agree with that.
- 21:06Speaker 1: And then what else?
- 21:06Speaker 2: What else, bunnies, I did notice that you over ten? Yeah,
- 21:12Speaker 2: thirty five.
- 21:12Speaker 1: I think I was number. It was so Aaron Curry
- 21:16Speaker 1: out of wake Forest dominated the combine. He went number
- 21:21Speaker 1: three or four of Raw to Seattle.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Yeah, he was a top ten to top Yeah he was.
- 21:26Speaker 1: He was like there was no chasing him. We had
- 21:28Speaker 1: a great class of outside linebackers like Larry English Cushing me.
- 21:34Speaker 1: I think they even threw in Buddy from Tennessee, uh As,
- 21:38Speaker 1: Robert Ayres. Yeah, there's there was a Tennessee d n.
- 21:44Speaker 1: It might have been Robert Airs. Anyway, it was. It
- 21:46Speaker 1: was a good class of outside linebackers. I think I
- 21:48Speaker 1: might have went four through.
- 21:49Speaker 2: It was any part of like were you and Cush, Like,
- 21:51Speaker 2: were you guys secretly just competing?
- 21:53Speaker 1: Like we were always competing. I told that when we
- 21:55Speaker 1: sat down, like we're still like he's he's one of
- 21:58Speaker 1: my best good friends, but like when we like we
- 22:00Speaker 1: were always competing, like who we get drafted first, who
- 22:03Speaker 1: get the most tackles, who get the most covers? Just
- 22:04Speaker 1: for me, Like he was doing that since he came
- 22:06Speaker 1: out of He was that guy coming out of high school.
- 22:08Speaker 1: I wasn't Like I kind of came up towards my
- 22:11Speaker 1: last year. I played the first game we played Virginia,
- 22:13Speaker 1: had a great game, Like, okay, this is a guy
- 22:15Speaker 1: late you know, might sneak in the draft fifth to
- 22:18Speaker 1: seventh rounder. A couple more games, he might be a
- 22:20Speaker 1: third rounder. And then I really benefited from, uh the combine,
- 22:25Speaker 1: which I know is going on right now. The pro day,
- 22:28Speaker 1: just you know, just flashing. I was like the new girl.
- 22:31Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, Hey, you've been with
- 22:34Speaker 1: your girl for four years. You know what she could bring.
- 22:35Speaker 1: But you see that one over there with the long
- 22:37Speaker 1: blonde hair, You're like, yeah, I need a trade up
- 22:39Speaker 1: for this one.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Long arms, bunnies, you know what I'm saying.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I had good explosive ability, explosive explosively.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Would you say the combine helped you out a lot?
- 22:51Speaker 2: I know there's always you know, you know, you know,
- 22:52Speaker 2: players and everybody just in the football universe, there's always
- 22:55Speaker 2: a question of does the combine matter that much?
- 22:59Speaker 1: Listen, I think your game film is truly what matters,
- 23:02Speaker 1: especially if you're a starter. And but for me, I
- 23:04Speaker 1: think it definitely helped out because I only started ten games,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I think eight in my last year, sort of go
- 23:12Speaker 1: out there and kind of, you know, put those numbers
- 23:14Speaker 1: down that were I think I was, you know, top
- 23:16Speaker 1: five and a lot of them. It helped me out
- 23:19Speaker 1: in the interview process, I'm sure, you know, getting getting
- 23:22Speaker 1: to know somebody, see kind of how they're cut, the
- 23:25Speaker 1: cloth they come from, and then position drills as well,
- 23:28Speaker 1: just seeing how smooth somebody is. So yeah, I definitely
- 23:30Speaker 1: think it helped me out. I met with man, I was,
- 23:33Speaker 1: I was. I met with almost every team out there
- 23:36Speaker 1: in Indianapolis.
- 23:36Speaker 2: How nervous were you going to I wasn't.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I had so much fun. Like listen, you got to understand.
- 23:41Speaker 1: I mean you you kind of know this. I know
- 23:43Speaker 1: you got recruited out, you know, out of high school.
- 23:46Speaker 1: But I was a walk on. I was like a nobody.
- 23:48Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, they're like, yo, clay
- 23:52Speaker 1: Ron Rivera from the San Diego Chargers defensive coordinator wants
- 23:55Speaker 1: to holler at you. You know, the Saints this that.
- 23:58Speaker 1: I don't even think I met with the Packers because
- 24:00Speaker 1: they had the ninth overall pick. But like I had
- 24:02Speaker 1: a blast doing it too. Plus it was cool just
- 24:05Speaker 1: that fraternity. Just being from a football family. Everybody either
- 24:08Speaker 1: knew my uncle or dad or this and that, so
- 24:10Speaker 1: you know it was I really enjoyed it.
- 24:13Speaker 2: You felt like you're playing with house money.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I mean I felt good. I felt confident.
- 24:17Speaker 2: That's awesome.
- 24:18Speaker 1: I felt comfortable.
- 24:19Speaker 2: I was a nervous wreck ond pro day.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was nervous, but like you know,
- 24:24Speaker 1: I don't know, you know how it is, You're always nervous.
- 24:26Speaker 1: You always got butterflies. Do what you do? I mean,
- 24:29Speaker 1: you you were that guy. You were Nebraska MVP.
- 24:33Speaker 2: H that is factair.
- 24:35Speaker 1: That guy is fair. I was your special teams MVP. Oh,
- 24:38Speaker 1: this was training before I learned how to run on
- 24:41Speaker 1: my toes. That's probably why I hit a four six seven.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Yeah, but the hair was still looking good. I was
- 24:47Speaker 1: with my twenty one and now I'm thirty nine. You
- 24:51Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Did I was set that? I was so tight? I
- 24:56Speaker 2: was so tight when I didn't get invited to the combine.
- 24:58Speaker 1: You should have been I was so tight, bro, you probably.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Should have gone for a minute.
- 25:04Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Well, I still went undrafted, but maybe you could have.
- 25:09Speaker 2: If I would have got maybe I would have been
- 25:10Speaker 2: part of the combine group. Like the number of guys,
- 25:13Speaker 2: what teams?
- 25:14Speaker 1: What teams wanted you.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Like post draft? Yeah, like the fre agency or.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Did anyone talk to you before, like your agents saying hey,
- 25:20Speaker 1: if you don't get drafted, we'd love to have you.
- 25:22Speaker 2: So the San Diego Chargers call the second day early,
- 25:29Speaker 2: just talking about being interested, not like drafting me or
- 25:32Speaker 2: anything like that. But in my brain I'm like, oh shit,
- 25:35Speaker 2: Chargers might get me in one of these picks. This
- 25:37Speaker 2: day two, they'd have drafted Manti tale that that that
- 25:41Speaker 2: the top of the second day because Tao has fallen
- 25:44Speaker 2: to the beginning of the second round. Yeah, and then
- 25:47Speaker 2: throughout the process it was Washington, called Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
- 25:57Speaker 2: in the Chicago Bears, those of the teams that were
- 26:00Speaker 2: kind of like reaching out, especially like toward the end
- 26:02Speaker 2: of the draft.
- 26:03Speaker 1: How'd you end up going to the Redskins? They offered
- 26:05Speaker 1: the most money? Did you felt? Like?
- 26:07Speaker 2: My agent called me and said you're going to be
- 26:08Speaker 2: a Washington Redskin like I like once once the draft
- 26:11Speaker 2: got over, like he he called me, told me, hey,
- 26:13Speaker 2: here are the teams that are interested. I was very
- 26:15Speaker 2: much like, man, it would be sick to go to Tampa.
- 26:18Speaker 2: I was even telling him it'd be cool to go
- 26:19Speaker 2: to Tampa because Levonte is there, playing with Levonte again.
- 26:24Speaker 2: And then he called me back within five minutes like, congratulates,
- 26:26Speaker 2: you're going to be Washing Redskins five thousand dollars signing bonus.
- 26:29Speaker 2: The others are twenty five hundred. So we took the
- 26:32Speaker 2: Washington Do you the money? Man?
- 26:34Speaker 1: Do you wish in hindsight of those teams like and
- 26:38Speaker 1: we're just playing the game now, like maybe if you
- 26:40Speaker 1: went to Chicago, you could have been one of those monsters.
- 26:42Speaker 8: Of the Midway.
- 26:43Speaker 1: You went. Yeah, maybe you could have played you know, yeah,
- 26:46Speaker 1: like what do you wish or like it is what
- 26:48Speaker 1: it is.
- 26:48Speaker 2: I do wish I would have got to play with
- 26:50Speaker 2: Levonte again. I think that did he go to Nebraska Lavonte? Yeah, yeah,
- 26:55Speaker 2: he was a jucocat. He came for two years, and
- 26:57Speaker 2: after his two years, he's like in the top three
- 26:59Speaker 2: and times of all time in Nebraska within two years
- 27:02Speaker 2: of playing. Yeah, dudes, I mean he's he's still doing.
- 27:04Speaker 2: He's a monster.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a monster.
- 27:07Speaker 2: But that would have been sick to play with him.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Chicago would have just been cool just because of like
- 27:10Speaker 2: a vicinity, like not going too far away, because Nebraska
- 27:13Speaker 2: was like seven eight hours away from home, which was nice,
- 27:18Speaker 2: and then like going on the coast, like I was
- 27:19Speaker 2: nervous about that just because completely new territory, new environment.
- 27:24Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I wouldn't Obviously I loved the
- 27:26Speaker 2: career that I had, but if I if I got
- 27:28Speaker 2: to choose, it would have been like Tampa Bay just
- 27:31Speaker 2: because of Lavante playing with Levonte again.
- 27:33Speaker 1: I thought you went there just because they were called
- 27:34Speaker 1: the Redskins, just knowing how much of a racist he
- 27:39Speaker 1: was like, yeah, yeah.
- 27:42Speaker 2: We're joking. We like the buzz balls on the bar.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Yeah, joking.
- 27:49Speaker 2: No, I got a question.
- 27:50Speaker 12: What portion of the combine would the average American struggle
- 27:54Speaker 12: the most with?
- 27:56Speaker 2: Like the average American, Yeah, just like your.
- 27:58Speaker 12: Most middle of the road athletic American, just the most
- 28:01Speaker 12: average guy out there. What portion of the combine are
- 28:04Speaker 12: they struggling with the most? Where are they gonna really
- 28:07Speaker 12: have the wall they gotta climb over?
- 28:10Speaker 1: Well, I would say bench, there's probably a handful that
- 28:12Speaker 1: probably couldn't even do two twenty five.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Yeah, I would take naturally get buried. Look like, oh boy,
- 28:17Speaker 2: did you see that clipbe viral? No, dude took off
- 28:20Speaker 2: four five?
- 28:23Speaker 8: Yeah, took it.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Off the racket. It just collapsed his risk. Is that
- 28:27Speaker 2: what happened?
- 28:28Speaker 12: Yeah, if you go look at it, you'll see his
- 28:29Speaker 12: wrist snap and then that like snaps that, but the
- 28:32Speaker 12: bar slips out of him. You can see them been
- 28:34Speaker 12: backwards and it falls straight on his sternament.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Do we know what the kids? Okay?
- 28:38Speaker 1: I think so, but but who cares? Viral? So like
- 28:40Speaker 1: you know, they you cut you just whenever people get hurt.
- 28:43Speaker 1: You just cut the video and you're like and you
- 28:44Speaker 1: get a good laugh.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Yeah, but bro, yeah it works right, no, no doubt,
- 28:50Speaker 2: no doubt, like we had our phone. But part of
- 28:52Speaker 2: me is like, I wonder how he turned out like
- 28:53Speaker 2: that bar damn near caved into his spine.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Bro. I'm also getting to the point in like life
- 28:59Speaker 1: where like, why are you doing so much weight? Like
- 29:01Speaker 1: you never need to do that much weight on the
- 29:03Speaker 1: bench press, but this is a high schooler even more so,
- 29:06Speaker 1: like you know, yeah, he's trying to be you.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Bro, I understand there was how driven you were trying
- 29:11Speaker 2: to put weight on the bar.
- 29:12Speaker 1: There's a fine line between pushing yourself and just doing
- 29:16Speaker 1: too much. But maybe he's I mean, when you got
- 29:18Speaker 1: that risk, are good?
- 29:21Speaker 8: Good?
- 29:21Speaker 1: He just lost he just lost control.
- 29:22Speaker 2: He's good, He's good in that proper proper spot walk
- 29:25Speaker 2: it off, big guy.
- 29:26Speaker 12: Who's it faultmore here though the guy's egos thinking he
- 29:29Speaker 12: could do four twenty five or his friends not properly
- 29:32Speaker 12: spotting him.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Yeah, on the side of the on.
- 29:36Speaker 1: The but's on the marketven when you're there, like you know,
- 29:39Speaker 1: to catch it like that, I feel like that's darn.
- 29:41Speaker 2: You wouldn't have caught it, but you'd have still been
- 29:43Speaker 2: there to help absorb a little bit, because you know,
- 29:45Speaker 2: when you're maxing out, when when you're when you got there,
- 29:48Speaker 2: when you're going after it, you got Yeah, you got
- 29:50Speaker 2: three spotters there.
- 29:51Speaker 8: I feel like that because.
- 29:53Speaker 5: When you are max you're like, let me get it myself.
- 29:57Speaker 8: You know what I mean.
- 29:58Speaker 2: But he wasn't even in that, Like it just it
- 30:00Speaker 2: was a free fall that I feel like, you're not
- 30:02Speaker 2: ready as a spotterer though, Like when he takes it off,
- 30:04Speaker 2: you're expecting him to at least get it down and struggle.
- 30:06Speaker 2: You're not expecting that thing to just crush. But you're
- 30:08Speaker 2: still You're still around.
- 30:09Speaker 5: It could have helped a little.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Yeah, but man, I hope he's hope he's okay. That's
- 30:17Speaker 2: a broken Oh it's broken something shattered lungs right Like
- 30:24Speaker 2: that's four hundred pounds free falling. Like there was no
- 30:26Speaker 2: eccentric or anything. It just dropped on him. It just
- 30:31Speaker 2: dropped on him.
- 30:33Speaker 1: What I was just gonna say, you go back to
- 30:37Speaker 1: these numbers and you you're flying on the.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Forty Yeah, I was aboard with motion.
- 30:43Speaker 1: How did that translate to the NFL? Game kickoff, I
- 30:49Speaker 1: was great.
- 30:50Speaker 2: But no, I was a flowbacker on kickoff. That's why
- 30:54Speaker 2: That's why I say clean take better tester than Clay Matthews.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I don't know better better numbers.
- 31:04Speaker 2: Claim Matthews. Like, let's just call a spade a spade.
- 31:08Speaker 2: My four five wasn't translating at old times on the
- 31:11Speaker 2: football field, I can. I'm an old dog. It's I'm
- 31:14Speaker 2: thirty six, it's over. I just got a deck the
- 31:16Speaker 2: last week. I'm twenty seven percent body fat, over six
- 31:19Speaker 2: hundred grams of visceral fat. Like I got some work
- 31:21Speaker 2: to do.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, So when I sat down and pulled my
- 31:24Speaker 1: belt up.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, these pants either those pants where I got
- 31:27Speaker 2: the I got the smallest bulls like, I don't got nothing.
- 31:29Speaker 2: I got a small Peter fat.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Dudes, but I'll call it lose some weight. I would
- 31:35Speaker 1: be looking like, there's that. See I just started a
- 31:38Speaker 1: night in the Seven Kingdoms. At the beginning of episode two,
- 31:43Speaker 1: g O t living up to their reputation. It's just
- 31:46Speaker 1: showing dog all the time, right out of the gates. WHOA,
- 31:50Speaker 1: I was in bed with my wife's turning a little bit.
- 31:53Speaker 1: That's not real, way, are you? Yeah?
- 31:56Speaker 2: That's too much, right, But yeah, my four or five,
- 32:01Speaker 2: I wasn't running a four or five speed on kickoff,
- 32:03Speaker 2: flying down. Now, I was head hunting, but I was
- 32:05Speaker 2: a flowbacker. So you have the faster cats, ID sen
- 32:09Speaker 2: it enough for you. Yeah? Yeah, if I was at
- 32:11Speaker 2: the L four, you need the three to be the
- 32:13Speaker 2: guy that kind of goes in front of me, not
- 32:15Speaker 2: stack him.
- 32:15Speaker 1: I was an L four. I think I was like
- 32:17Speaker 1: an L four L three.
- 32:18Speaker 2: See, then I'd be the five. If you were a
- 32:19Speaker 2: four and you were humming faster than yeah, I'd be
- 32:22Speaker 2: a five and be like you're the you go see
- 32:24Speaker 2: you go seat ball, get ball, and I'm flowing off.
- 32:26Speaker 2: I'm kind of reading I see.
- 32:27Speaker 1: That's what I love to an inside back or two
- 32:29Speaker 1: haven't played, you know, on the D line, so to speak,
- 32:32Speaker 1: Like understand how my zero three and five tech worked.
- 32:34Speaker 2: I'm like, just go be decisive, be decided.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Off athlete where I'm gonna read off, you don't worry
- 32:39Speaker 1: about you know what I'm saying. That's why guys like eighty,
- 32:42Speaker 1: I mean, now they're Aaron Donald, incredibly gifted to do
- 32:45Speaker 1: what they do, but just you know, being decisive if
- 32:47Speaker 1: they're hitting back doors. He's even JJ Watt like, just
- 32:50Speaker 1: be decisive.
- 32:50Speaker 2: Right right, just make a move. Yeah back, let you hunt.
- 32:53Speaker 2: And the minute I see whatever the block is, I'm
- 32:55Speaker 2: trying to scrape off that. Dude's ball hit ball.
- 32:57Speaker 5: Shame we never got to see that in the league, man, both.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Of us together, Oh being Clay, imagine him.
- 33:04Speaker 1: And then in twenty nineteen, who were you with? Because
- 33:08Speaker 1: I was free agab the Raiders. I should have signed
- 33:12Speaker 1: with the Raiders two thousand.
- 33:14Speaker 5: It would have been nice on the Raiders.
- 33:16Speaker 8: Damn.
- 33:17Speaker 1: We probably won like three or four games.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Dude, us in the silver and black number one. Their
- 33:21Speaker 2: unis go so hard they do, but you with the
- 33:23Speaker 2: flow going, what do you mean three.
- 33:25Speaker 6: To four games plus three to four games?
- 33:29Speaker 2: What happened?
- 33:30Speaker 5: Only won three or four games with the Raiders.
- 33:32Speaker 2: And leave them to the playoffs. Yeah, we were We
- 33:34Speaker 2: were at a sinker year.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Was that when Carr until he broke his ankle, like
- 33:39Speaker 1: they were rolling, the Raiders were rolling.
- 33:41Speaker 2: That was before me, that was before, but this one
- 33:44Speaker 2: right here, this was twenty twenty one. I believe when
- 33:47Speaker 2: I got there it was sink or swim like that's
- 33:49Speaker 2: when they fired grooding and they needed somebody to come
- 33:51Speaker 2: in and help right the ship and get us to
- 33:53Speaker 2: the playoffs. That was you, Yeah, a couple of double
- 33:57Speaker 2: teams on kickoff return. Ko R just eating a doubt.
- 33:59Speaker 6: Look that it was fun though that that was a
- 34:02Speaker 6: year mentoring Max Crosby.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Yeah, mentoring Max Crosby. Absolutely. That was a year too
- 34:10Speaker 2: because JP and a couple of the boys came out
- 34:12Speaker 2: to Vegas and that was one where I was like
- 34:18Speaker 2: that year because that was the last year I played.
- 34:20Speaker 2: That was one where I was like, I am playing
- 34:22Speaker 2: with house money. That was one where I was like,
- 34:23Speaker 2: I just loved playing and being around everybody because I
- 34:25Speaker 2: knew that this was it right.
- 34:27Speaker 1: That's why I had nice last year. Sorry twenty twenty one.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I got cut twice in one week on that year.
- 34:34Speaker 2: Damn got cut. There's a snow There was like a
- 34:38Speaker 2: snowstorm in Nashville, so my flight got delayed so I
- 34:40Speaker 2: couldn't fly out that day. Next morning, I wake up
- 34:43Speaker 2: to go ahead to my flight. Pisachi's on the phone.
- 34:45Speaker 2: He's like, Hey, are you still in town. I was
- 34:47Speaker 2: like yeah. He's like, somebody popped for COVID. He's like,
- 34:50Speaker 2: would you want to He's like and now look we are.
- 34:52Speaker 2: We gave you this week's pay, like they did. They
- 34:55Speaker 2: did right by me. They gave me this week's pay.
- 34:56Speaker 2: They waited to cut me on Wednesday, so that way
- 34:58Speaker 2: I got the week. You would essentially be playing for free,
- 35:01Speaker 2: But would you want to play?
- 35:02Speaker 1: And I was like hell yeah, hell yeah.
- 35:05Speaker 2: It was the winning get in game against the Chargers.
- 35:07Speaker 2: And then right after we beat the Chargers, it was Hey,
- 35:10Speaker 2: if I had control the roster, you'd still be with
- 35:12Speaker 2: us in the playoffs?
- 35:13Speaker 1: Is that Bisachia is? Is that who just left the Packers?
- 35:16Speaker 1: He was the Packers special teams coordinator.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Did he leave the Packers?
- 35:20Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 35:20Speaker 2: Dang yeah.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Was there any reason why you just said he was
- 35:22Speaker 1: just taking a leave?
- 35:24Speaker 2: It was his life.
- 35:27Speaker 1: Well, the Packers special teams have.
- 35:29Speaker 2: Been they've been tough. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, as far
- 35:32Speaker 2: as results go and everything else, Basacia is a goom. Yeah,
- 35:35Speaker 2: he's a beast man. He's a fucking he's a leader.
- 35:38Speaker 2: He's a leader. He's a good one. He's a good one.
- 35:41Speaker 2: But yeah, Bisachi was the interim head coach. And then
- 35:44Speaker 2: after that year because when they fired Cruden, that was
- 35:48Speaker 2: when they were having like a solid year. We ended
- 35:51Speaker 2: up winning a lot of games on the back half
- 35:52Speaker 2: to where he was up for the head coaching job,
- 35:54Speaker 2: and then that that's when they went and got McDaniels.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Right then when McDaniels gets fired in the middle of
- 35:58Speaker 2: the year, then they hired Pierce. Yeah, Antonio, Antonio Pierce,
- 36:04Speaker 2: because they were in another situation of do we hire
- 36:05Speaker 2: the unim head coach that he just won the back
- 36:07Speaker 2: half of the year. Not to make this a big
- 36:09Speaker 2: Raiders podcast, who they taking in the first overall? Fornao
- 36:12Speaker 2: Mendoza for Nado Mendoza. But some now, yeah, some some,
- 36:17Speaker 2: some Las Vegas Raiders are right there.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Well you you got a brick, right, don't you get
- 36:22Speaker 1: a brick?
- 36:23Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 36:23Speaker 1: For the Raiders.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, they're alumni, they're alumni club whatever. They're the
- 36:28Speaker 2: best in the league. They still send meself on Christmas
- 36:30Speaker 2: on my birthday.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Dude, I'm boys with Donald Penn. I haven't seen him
- 36:34Speaker 1: in walk because we used to train in California tackle
- 36:36Speaker 1: play for Tampa and then the Raiders. But yeah, he's
- 36:39Speaker 1: always it seems like he's more of a Raider. I
- 36:42Speaker 1: don't know how long he played with the with the
- 36:44Speaker 1: two teams than he is a buck, but I always
- 36:46Speaker 1: see he's got like a brick that he posts and
- 36:48Speaker 1: he's always going to like Raiders alumni, if you played
- 36:51Speaker 1: on the squad, you have a brick at their new stadium.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Well even even when they hired a new coach, you
- 36:56Speaker 1: had like, uh, Charles White, I think Charles White or
- 37:01Speaker 1: uh Charles Woodson. Man, I'm forgetting. I'm disgracing myself to USC.
- 37:06Speaker 1: But all all those great Raiders, there's like three great
- 37:09Speaker 1: Raiders that were behind how we long behind their new
- 37:12Speaker 1: coach that they hire.
- 37:13Speaker 2: Because their fan base is incredible, their organization as far
- 37:15Speaker 2: as like their alumni association taking care of guys like
- 37:18Speaker 2: they're communicating with guys essentially all year round. They're the
- 37:21Speaker 2: only ones that kind of out of the three teams
- 37:24Speaker 2: I played for, that follow up and do.
- 37:26Speaker 1: So when you were tired and who did you retire?
- 37:28Speaker 1: What organizations you retire?
- 37:30Speaker 2: As a rad I just retired a man of the NFL,
- 37:34Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
- 37:35Speaker 1: Yeah, just journeyman.
- 37:37Speaker 5: You still got a one day waiting for you.
- 37:39Speaker 2: When whoever wants to sign me for a one day contract, Yeah,
- 37:43Speaker 2: I'm up for I'm up for grabs, but I'm a
- 37:46Speaker 2: man of the I'm a man of the shield, you
- 37:48Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 37:48Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, protect the shield, protect shield at all costs.
- 37:55Speaker 2: What other other storylines I felt like was coming out
- 37:57Speaker 2: of the combine, Uh, coach Glenn Aaron Glynn sleep you
- 38:01Speaker 2: see him get caught to me, I'm like, you know,
- 38:04Speaker 2: that's a that's a the year you're.
- 38:05Speaker 1: There for this? Yeah, we we this all happened. W
- 38:08Speaker 1: we were sitting in meetings too, and coach was talking.
- 38:09Speaker 1: It's just it's a bad look when you're on camera,
- 38:11Speaker 1: especially with everything that's coming out of that organization in
- 38:15Speaker 1: light of recent years. Like it's not a good look.
- 38:17Speaker 1: But the reality is like I don't think anybody really cares,
- 38:20Speaker 1: although I will say they do have the second overall
- 38:22Speaker 1: pick and they're watching like pass rushers, like yeah, maybe
- 38:25Speaker 1: just you know, fall asleep.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Just knowing that a coach Glenn, the microscope is on
- 38:29Speaker 2: you at all times. Yeah, gotta be prepared. Because his
- 38:31Speaker 2: reaction was fun. It was fun to show him on TV.
- 38:35Speaker 2: Let's see if the camera is still on me, old
- 38:36Speaker 2: camera still on me, let's dial it.
- 38:38Speaker 1: I bet you the cameraman was a Patriots fans. That's
- 38:41Speaker 1: what I like he's gotten.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Look at this this flow right here. What's this young
- 38:48Speaker 2: man's name? I know he's out of Iowa.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Going with the red hair mullet. Yeah, unbelievable.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Do we know his name? I forget his man.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Whenever those videos, but don't know his name?
- 39:01Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 39:01Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, have you ever seen that? Have you guys
- 39:04Speaker 6: ever seen that one coach? He coaches up like middle
- 39:06Speaker 6: school in high school alignment and he just tears into
- 39:09Speaker 6: these kids like get your.
- 39:11Speaker 5: Hips moving, like yeah.
- 39:14Speaker 6: And bro, these kids are horrible. And all I could
- 39:16Speaker 6: picture watching that video is that guy's voice underneath it.
- 39:19Speaker 5: You gotta know.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure I've seen I'm sure I've seen that stuff.
- 39:22Speaker 12: Jennings dunker is his names Dunkerle?
- 39:27Speaker 1: What a name? That mop alone?
- 39:31Speaker 2: You'll get some kind of deal. I mean yeah, head shoulders.
- 39:34Speaker 1: That was Troy.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Oh, which one were you?
- 39:38Speaker 1: I was swave.
- 39:40Speaker 2: Just so so so head and shoulders bringing a beef
- 39:44Speaker 2: right now?
- 39:44Speaker 3: No?
- 39:44Speaker 1: No, no, no, well beef between the two parent companies
- 39:46Speaker 1: between Unilever and Procter and Gamble.
- 39:49Speaker 2: Okay, so like so.
- 39:50Speaker 1: They own a number No I remember, Like it's just
- 39:54Speaker 1: you're either you're either in bed with one or the other,
- 39:56Speaker 1: and eventually I got back in good graces with Procter
- 39:59Speaker 1: and Gamble. Okay, yeah, because if you're like a Unilever
- 40:02Speaker 1: guy or Procter and gone.
- 40:03Speaker 2: How quickly did you get a deal with this shower company?
- 40:09Speaker 1: With the shower company? I think heading into I want
- 40:16Speaker 1: to say, going in my second year, like after my
- 40:19Speaker 1: rookie year, because there was a dope like, you know,
- 40:21Speaker 1: you have to be an NFL paid sponsor endorser in
- 40:25Speaker 1: order to you know, show the show the uh you know,
- 40:29Speaker 1: the Packers logo or whatever it is. But we had
- 40:30Speaker 1: just won the Super Bowl and it was it was
- 40:33Speaker 1: from Swave and it was like a full page I'm
- 40:35Speaker 1: gonna say, like New York Times says, congratulations, you know
- 40:37Speaker 1: Clay Matthews, you are head and shoulders.
- 40:39Speaker 8: Above the rest.
- 40:41Speaker 1: And it was me just like flexing on all like
- 40:43Speaker 1: big yeah with big Swave bottles and stuff. They got
- 40:46Speaker 1: a cease and desist, but hey, it's over hand and
- 40:49Speaker 1: shoulders above the rest.
- 40:50Speaker 2: Already been made.
- 40:51Speaker 1: Yeah, damage was done.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Yeah, man, that's awesome. I could see him getting like,
- 40:56Speaker 2: it's crazy to meet some of the kids that go
- 40:58Speaker 2: like into the league already have something that's like defining
- 41:01Speaker 2: them because that dude's clearly it's his hair like he
- 41:03Speaker 2: knows and he knows it.
- 41:04Speaker 1: It's awesome. Yeah. Now we had uh, we have muscle.
- 41:09Speaker 1: I had Muscle Milk too, Muscle Milk. Uh, I had it.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Everywhere there was a Bible, there was muscle Milk. I
- 41:15Speaker 1: had my walk on T shirt before Michael Chandler. You know,
- 41:17Speaker 1: I had to. I had to walk on. But we
- 41:19Speaker 1: got some good money out of that. And they're good
- 41:21Speaker 1: USC people.
- 41:22Speaker 5: Yeah, Matthews, Muscle Milk math.
- 41:26Speaker 1: So yeah, you see this like right here, like Muscle Milk,
- 41:29Speaker 1: Like they're not a league sponsor, so you kind of
- 41:30Speaker 1: have to, you know, like you can't make it look
- 41:32Speaker 1: too much like the packers, right.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Just the colors default give me strength to blitz faster,
- 41:38Speaker 2: to stop the past, to win all muscle Milk. I
- 41:43Speaker 2: love that, dude.
- 41:44Speaker 1: I love muscle Milk. You just shout out Muscle Milk,
- 41:47Speaker 1: always shout outs for life. They got it, they got
- 41:52Speaker 1: something new coming out.
- 41:54Speaker 2: Oh I shoot him the clips just once.
- 41:57Speaker 4: You guys know, that was a great shoot right there,
- 42:01Speaker 4: sang Bill Withers right there filming that was that for
- 42:05Speaker 4: That might have been from Muscle bil You were you.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Ever feel like you got what's up? You ever feel
- 42:13Speaker 2: like you got caught up too much in the fame?
- 42:19Speaker 1: No, I think I maximized it. I think right when
- 42:22Speaker 1: I came in is when they started getting athletes. Athletes
- 42:25Speaker 1: were moving into that that realm whatever you want to
- 42:30Speaker 1: call it doing. But it was mainly like power Balance, Nike,
- 42:35Speaker 1: Muscle Milk, you know, stuff like that. But you're watching
- 42:40Speaker 1: Movie Star.
- 42:41Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. When you did the movie, the
- 42:43Speaker 2: Magic Mike movie, that's.
- 42:45Speaker 1: I wish I did Magic Mike, brother, that's a great movie.
- 42:48Speaker 6: The first one, perfect Magic Mike was what they offered
- 42:51Speaker 6: you Will.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Channing Tatum pitch Perfect, like when you did pitch Perfect?
- 42:56Speaker 1: Were you kind of see But I wouldn't even clamoring
- 42:59Speaker 1: for that. I have already spoken on this. I don't
- 43:02Speaker 1: want to repeat myself about how it came to be.
- 43:04Speaker 1: But the offensive lineman for the Packers were like the
- 43:06Speaker 1: biggest Pitch Perfect fans, and I might have seen it,
- 43:09Speaker 1: might not have. I was like, oh cool, it's like
- 43:10Speaker 1: this fun acapella movie. And then they were like dming
- 43:14Speaker 1: Elizabeth Banks, who I think her husband or and maybe
- 43:17Speaker 1: her produced the movie, and somehow her husband was a
- 43:20Speaker 1: fan and they wanted us in the second one, and
- 43:23Speaker 1: so they sent a script. I'm like, no way, this
- 43:25Speaker 1: is real. The David Baktiar, he was the one spearheading it.
- 43:28Speaker 1: And next thing you know, we're down in some Shreveport
- 43:32Speaker 1: maybe in Louisiana for like three days recording and filming.
- 43:35Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. It was cool. It's
- 43:37Speaker 1: just a different world. And we went to the premiere
- 43:38Speaker 1: we all slouched down in our seats because we were
- 43:40Speaker 1: so embarrassed, like singing bootylicious.
- 43:44Speaker 2: But I love it.
- 43:45Speaker 1: I have more people calling to me now and be
- 43:46Speaker 1: like I saw you in Pitch Perfect than they do
- 43:48Speaker 1: like I saw you in a super Bowl. I don't
- 43:50Speaker 1: care about that anymore. This a Hollywood lives on forever.
- 43:53Speaker 5: Yeah, is there anything you said no to that you
- 43:55Speaker 5: wish you would have said yes too? Looking back now.
- 43:58Speaker 1: But the one thing that I've known though, is like
- 44:00Speaker 1: even with the show, is like I always tried to
- 44:02Speaker 1: be aware of my brand, like what and I do
- 44:04Speaker 1: think authenticity sells. This is why like Gronkowski and Marshawn Lynch,
- 44:08Speaker 1: they are who they are, but but they sell I
- 44:12Speaker 1: think I like y'all, you know, like Orro what is
- 44:15Speaker 1: it Orro or stuff, like he'd be like the Row,
- 44:19Speaker 1: Like there's some stuff where you can't do that. But
- 44:22Speaker 1: it's like, you know, there was nothing I really said
- 44:25Speaker 1: no to. Maybe maybe there was, but maybe it never
- 44:27Speaker 1: got to me.
- 44:28Speaker 2: But you know, there's something you were trying to get
- 44:30Speaker 2: but you didn't get.
- 44:33Speaker 1: I wanted to be head and shoulders like opposite with Troy,
- 44:38Speaker 1: but then it was like they went to Odell after
- 44:40Speaker 1: Like I thought it would be perfect, like because he
- 44:42Speaker 1: had the black hair, I had the blonde hair. You know,
- 44:45Speaker 1: I thought I thought it was just it was easy marketing,
- 44:47Speaker 1: but uh.
- 44:48Speaker 2: Not, I don't.
- 44:49Speaker 1: I don't think Carhart. Carhart sent me some stuff. They
- 44:54Speaker 1: they've been good to me. Uh they sent me some stuff.
- 44:56Speaker 5: I only worked with Riley Green.
- 44:59Speaker 1: I gotta be a music yeah, and hey, I'm pop
- 45:03Speaker 1: and just.
- 45:03Speaker 2: A sex pistol dude. He's such a good looking dude
- 45:06Speaker 2: like that. That just is what it is.
- 45:07Speaker 1: Yeah, but can he operate a chainsaw?
- 45:10Speaker 5: He's sponsored by Cat.
- 45:12Speaker 1: He fell it damn Cat. Yeah, that's what I want.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Like I'm in the phase of that of my life
- 45:16Speaker 1: now where like I could get a tractor. Shout out
- 45:18Speaker 1: John Deere, Caboda. You know, anyone else's watch him?
- 45:23Speaker 2: You know, no Riley Green's and man's man. You might
- 45:26Speaker 2: be thinking it. Could he be too much of a
- 45:28Speaker 2: pretty boy to swing a chainsaw like that's it, that's it.
- 45:31Speaker 5: He was doing construction before he got famous.
- 45:34Speaker 1: Like I was watching you and Hawaii like do cannonballs,
- 45:37Speaker 1: and I'm over there chopping up I'm chopping up firewood
- 45:40Speaker 1: in the backyard, you know, so like you talk about
- 45:43Speaker 1: a man's man, I'm just like I feel like, you know,
- 45:46Speaker 1: I told my wife she's lucky, you know what I'm saying.
- 45:49Speaker 1: I remind her all the time she married a man.
- 45:51Speaker 2: I did the same thing. Yes, I got them putting
- 45:53Speaker 2: that wall mount up in the garage. Brother, you.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Can't use those anchors. Those anchors will not hold those
- 46:00Speaker 1: little plastic anchors you tap in. I'm telling you right now,
- 46:03Speaker 1: that's trash.
- 46:04Speaker 2: That's what That's what the instructions told me to do.
- 46:05Speaker 1: Okay, charm, did you get this man a stud finder? Okay?
- 46:10Speaker 2: I got one in my new little toolkit too that
- 46:12Speaker 2: the builder gave me. Is it too, Willie? One show
- 46:15Speaker 2: congratulator in your first tool set.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Okay, you gotta find the studs first. You always want
- 46:21Speaker 1: to anchor into some studs. Okay, the drywall will not hold.
- 46:25Speaker 2: Anytime I tell But the stud is the the board.
- 46:29Speaker 1: The board you were talking about the thick like I
- 46:32Speaker 1: couldn't even understand what you were talking.
- 46:33Speaker 2: When you're studs are the two by.
- 46:35Speaker 1: Fours in the wall. They go up and down vertical.
- 46:37Speaker 2: Listen when you're building ship and you're going through and
- 46:40Speaker 2: you're trying to find it by hitting the and then
- 46:43Speaker 2: you feel the that's a stud.
- 46:45Speaker 5: That's a stud.
- 46:46Speaker 1: But you should probably well, that's why you got to
- 46:49Speaker 1: get the stud finder because sometimes it could be electrical
- 46:51Speaker 1: in there.
- 46:52Speaker 2: You don't see some comments about some electrical and then
- 46:54Speaker 2: somebody else's bobby back, it ain't happening in Nashville. This
- 46:58Speaker 2: ain't no Northeast bullshit.
- 46:59Speaker 1: He said, I saw your body bag of grandma in
- 47:03Speaker 1: the first comment year old.
- 47:05Speaker 2: She has to get it.
- 47:06Speaker 1: Yeah, well, how to hang a shelf?
- 47:08Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 47:09Speaker 1: Did you have a level Did you have a leveler?
- 47:11Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 47:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you gotta have a.
- 47:13Speaker 2: Good like a like a magnetic one. We're all put
- 47:15Speaker 2: it on and like magnetized to the.
- 47:17Speaker 1: Do you have different. But you gotta have different sizes too,
- 47:19Speaker 1: depending on the length of you know, forty eight inches
- 47:21Speaker 1: seventy two get you a small one magnetized.
- 47:23Speaker 2: Talking about a leveler, Yeah, I just put one on
- 47:26Speaker 2: each on each one.
- 47:28Speaker 1: When on the little bubble ones they give you the.
- 47:30Speaker 2: One that came in my tool set.
- 47:32Speaker 1: Milwaukee, great city, Yeah, out of Wisconsin.
- 47:37Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I got the power drills, I got the ruler,
- 47:40Speaker 2: the tape measure.
- 47:42Speaker 1: It looks it looks like I'm worry with the wear
- 47:44Speaker 1: and tear of you picking up and putting the shovel
- 47:47Speaker 1: on and whatever. The broom you have that over time
- 47:49Speaker 1: is gonna get a little loose.
- 47:51Speaker 2: Now why is that? Because that's what came in the box.
- 47:53Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what came in the box. You've got
- 47:54Speaker 1: to know how to affix this tool holder to the wall.
- 48:00Speaker 1: It's part of being a man's man.
- 48:01Speaker 2: Okay, I down, listen. I'm down to say. I haven't
- 48:05Speaker 2: been a man's man thought the course of my life,
- 48:06Speaker 2: and I'm learning to be a fucking man's man. But
- 48:09Speaker 2: you gotta instead of talking down to me and discrediting
- 48:12Speaker 2: the work, should I just put in on that garage
- 48:15Speaker 2: because it stuff's hanging right now, And it's hanging fine.
- 48:17Speaker 2: But what are you talking about? Like when I put
- 48:20Speaker 2: in them little plastic things, it's the drivewall goes straight through. Like, Okay,
- 48:23Speaker 2: the screw's not gonna go in right here. I need
- 48:25Speaker 2: something to fit it.
- 48:26Speaker 1: Get it?
- 48:26Speaker 2: What do I put in?
- 48:27Speaker 1: Okay, get a better anchor, one that, like I wouldn't
- 48:30Speaker 1: know the terminology for right now, one that kind of
- 48:32Speaker 1: flaze in the back and pulls up against the drywall,
- 48:35Speaker 1: that holds fifty to seventy five pounds. Maybe they got
- 48:38Speaker 1: a seventy five to one hundred, just a little bit
- 48:40Speaker 1: more a wear and tear, a little stronger. That way,
- 48:42Speaker 1: your bolt's gonna be a little stronger. So a little longer,
- 48:44Speaker 1: a little stronger.
- 48:45Speaker 2: I don't know what Surem's doing. I'll do so you're
- 48:49Speaker 2: giving me game within the game. Hey, whatever comes whatever
- 48:53Speaker 2: like little tools or whatever comes with the set, don't
- 48:56Speaker 2: use this. I need to get my own shit. Yes,
- 48:58Speaker 2: go down to ACE Hardware, no free shot at says hardware,
- 49:01Speaker 2: and get my own like anchors that would go in.
- 49:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the of the
- 49:06Speaker 1: the plastic ones you put in the wall, like the
- 49:08Speaker 1: ones that you. You know, you drill five as inch hole,
- 49:11Speaker 1: you kind of tap in the plastic. They just they
- 49:13Speaker 1: either go all the way through, you end up stripping
- 49:15Speaker 1: the plastic because you're tightening it too tight or you
- 49:17Speaker 1: can't get it tight enough.
- 49:18Speaker 2: But you're giving me game right now. I didn't know
- 49:20Speaker 2: that there's other.
- 49:21Speaker 1: I wish you would come to me and ask for help.
- 49:23Speaker 2: Well, that's why I ask the internet. Sometimes you got
- 49:25Speaker 2: to You gotta show the failure in front of them.
- 49:27Speaker 2: I can be the butt of the joke. They can
- 49:29Speaker 2: all laugh and oh, screws nails. I didn't know what
- 49:31Speaker 2: I was talking about, but next time, and next time
- 49:35Speaker 2: I will if it's something serious. I'm thinking, I'm hanging
- 49:36Speaker 2: out this little wall mount. Yeah, I can figure this out.
- 49:39Speaker 2: All these little packages of screws.
- 49:41Speaker 1: And every experience is the best teacher. So I'm glad
- 49:43Speaker 1: you took it upon yourself to do it.
- 49:44Speaker 2: Now, let me ask you this, Yes, sir, when it
- 49:47Speaker 2: is a stud yeah, the thick part, you don't don't
- 49:50Speaker 2: need nothing nothing. That's where you just go the screw
- 49:53Speaker 2: right through that.
- 49:53Speaker 1: Now, if you're doing, if you're doing, if you're hanging
- 49:56Speaker 1: something really heavy, you gotta get some blocking in between
- 49:58Speaker 1: those two by fours. Okay, so horizontal, don't just say
- 50:03Speaker 1: things all right, Okay.
- 50:05Speaker 2: Don'ty's blocking in there? All right?
- 50:08Speaker 1: We take our garage organization seriously. Yeah, yeah, there's nothing
- 50:13Speaker 1: worse than the garage or stuff you're sitting in the corner.
- 50:15Speaker 1: I want to have the walls on. Wait till you
- 50:16Speaker 1: get the bikes on the ceilings.
- 50:18Speaker 2: That is what I'm looking into next. Now I don't
- 50:20Speaker 2: have a lot of bikes. I just got ruse bike,
- 50:22Speaker 2: but I do want to hang it because I hate
- 50:25Speaker 2: seeing the clutter all around the grove.
- 50:26Speaker 1: Well, you know what I bought us. I just bought
- 50:28Speaker 1: like a bike stand, you know, like ones you'd have
- 50:29Speaker 1: at the school. Since we got a few children at
- 50:32Speaker 1: the house, Like we just put mom and Dad's bikes
- 50:34Speaker 1: and the three just in that. It just keeps a
- 50:37Speaker 1: little tidier than putting it on the ceiling, because then
- 50:39Speaker 1: you're always gonna have to get it down.
- 50:40Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, send us a picture of your garage.
- 50:42Speaker 5: We'll put it up.
- 50:43Speaker 1: We're moving right now, but I could.
- 50:44Speaker 2: Yeah, we need a picture of Clay matthews garage.
- 50:47Speaker 1: Is you did you get the ground fixed? Like you
- 50:50Speaker 1: can't just have bare concrete, right, Oh, I got.
- 50:52Speaker 2: The what is it?
- 50:53Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 50:54Speaker 2: Well is it called crexy or hipoxy?
- 50:56Speaker 1: That's hypoxy hypoxy hypoxia like a mount everest E with
- 51:02Speaker 1: an e epoxy.
- 51:03Speaker 2: I got some epoxy. You talk about the flooring, Ryeah,
- 51:06Speaker 2: looks good.
- 51:07Speaker 1: Throw a little chip on it.
- 51:08Speaker 2: Because sore Necks is coming in later this month. I'll
- 51:11Speaker 2: have the rubber down on one side, but we'll get
- 51:13Speaker 2: the I'm.

- 51:25Speaker 1: to because the space is a little tight in the.
- 51:26Speaker 2: Gym right now.

- 51:40Speaker 2: No rogue.
- 51:41Speaker 1: I'm just saying like, I'd hate to do that.
- 51:44Speaker 2: No rogue, communist, do rogue. You want a full blooded American?
- 51:53Speaker 1: So many shout outs. I love this. You guys just
- 51:55Speaker 1: sit here and say what you like and then they'll
- 51:56Speaker 1: just come to you and just give you stuff. This
- 51:57Speaker 1: is great. This is the whole point of that I
- 51:59Speaker 1: have the podcast.
- 52:00Speaker 2: But yeah, I was gonna say this is podcasting, like
- 52:03Speaker 2: we just we said around and bullshit, like we got
- 52:05Speaker 2: a phenomenal Russell Wilson interview coming up. Then I'm sure
- 52:08Speaker 2: whoever's tapped in, Like, since.
- 52:10Speaker 1: I wasn't a part of it, can I I know
- 52:13Speaker 1: the viewers have to wait. I don't want to how
- 52:16Speaker 1: to go? What are we talking about his entire career
- 52:18Speaker 1: getting there as like a third rounder, beating out Matt
- 52:20Speaker 1: Flynn who they gave a bunch of money to.
- 52:22Speaker 2: We didn't have a super Bowl, we only had in
- 52:24Speaker 2: the past. Yep, we only had forty five minutes with him.
- 52:28Speaker 2: But I walked away from that interview having a new
- 52:33Speaker 2: perspective and appreciate. Yeah, yeah, respect for Russell Wilson. Clect
- 52:36Speaker 2: that I didn't have any But he even called us on.
- 52:39Speaker 2: He's like, I know you guys have talked shit on me, Clay.
- 52:42Speaker 12: How long in this interview of forty five minutes do
- 52:45Speaker 12: you think it took Will Compton to bring up that
- 52:47Speaker 12: he picked off Russell Wilson. How many minutes in do
- 52:50Speaker 12: you think?
- 52:52Speaker 1: And there's a forty five minute I mean probably three
- 52:58Speaker 1: and a half to five minutes.
- 52:59Speaker 5: On the knows three and a half it was.
- 53:01Speaker 12: I think it was three minutes in in my time,
- 53:04Speaker 12: cause I have three minutes.
- 53:05Speaker 2: So you're one of my three.
- 53:07Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what you just one of my three. And
- 53:08Speaker 8: then Cool.
- 53:13Speaker 2: Something said something he tries saying he like juked me
- 53:16Speaker 2: or something like that, but maybe who knows.
- 53:18Speaker 5: He And in the clip, I just I made it.
- 53:21Speaker 6: And then it just kind of goes into some of
- 53:22Speaker 6: your highlights against the against the Seahawks, and you have
- 53:26Speaker 6: this nice tackle on Beast Mode that not a lot
- 53:29Speaker 6: of people are talking about. You found, Yeah, you found
- 53:34Speaker 6: that left foot, clipped his ankle down.
- 53:38Speaker 5: Nobody else got him.
- 53:39Speaker 8: He just.
- 53:41Speaker 1: I don't know what the script is, but who for
- 53:44Speaker 1: the show? But who? I love having this conversation. Who
- 53:47Speaker 1: was the most difficult running back for you to tackle?
- 53:51Speaker 7: Because you mode it was.
- 53:56Speaker 2: Look look look up running back for the Browns into
- 54:00Speaker 2: two thousand and white fourteen or sixteen Hitlis No, no, no, Crowell, You're.
- 54:05Speaker 12: Really gonna sit here and not say Melvin Gordon.
- 54:08Speaker 5: He didn't put his hands on him.
- 54:10Speaker 2: Yeah. I couldn't get my hands on Devil Gordon to know,
- 54:13Speaker 2: but I would. But I would say, like as far
- 54:15Speaker 2: as like feeling it, it was Croell and Chubb, the
- 54:21Speaker 2: dudes from the Browns like free trunks he has for legs.
- 54:25Speaker 2: You felt that as you're like slipping down the.
- 54:27Speaker 1: Tackle we played, I mean obviously playing in the NFC North
- 54:30Speaker 1: like Adrian Peterson I say, was by far the best
- 54:34Speaker 1: back I've ever played against. You could do it all.
- 54:36Speaker 1: They didn't really passed to him out of the backfield,
- 54:38Speaker 1: but like he could. He could hit the perimeter, you know,
- 54:41Speaker 1: he could be patient and then getting them he will
- 54:44Speaker 1: run you over, hurdle you. It was incredible. But uh, money, Marsh,
- 54:48Speaker 1: I'm sure.
- 54:48Speaker 2: Because you face AP two like in his heyday. I
- 54:52Speaker 2: never fortunately never had to go against Well.
- 54:54Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a dog. But Marshawn, Marshawn, he was
- 54:59Speaker 1: tough to bring down.
- 55:00Speaker 2: Yeah, Marshawn was tough, Marsh.
- 55:01Speaker 1: You catch him in the hall and he was just
- 55:04Speaker 1: shoot already and you're trying to get him down. He
- 55:06Speaker 1: just wouldn't go down. He was just he's probably the
- 55:08Speaker 1: most difficult for me to get down.
- 55:09Speaker 2: Yeah, but the couple I remember just like falling down
- 55:12Speaker 2: and like just remembering the feeling. It was like Croell
- 55:16Speaker 2: and Nick Chubb.
- 55:17Speaker 1: Interesting. What about quarterbacks to sack? Which one was your
- 55:20Speaker 1: most difficult?
- 55:21Speaker 2: I mean I only had one, Sam Bradford.
- 55:26Speaker 5: Who'd you get closer to?
- 55:28Speaker 1: That was your sack? Sam Bradford?
- 55:30Speaker 2: Yeah, that was my one. Sag he didn't move, no,
- 55:33Speaker 2: not I hit the dab and everything. I had big players,
- 55:37Speaker 2: a massive celebration. Uh who did I get close to?
- 55:44Speaker 2: I don't know, none of them. I always hated being
- 55:49Speaker 2: like a free runner because I always felt like they
- 55:51Speaker 2: could just they could like make a move. I don't
- 55:55Speaker 2: do you know what I'm talking about. They kind of
- 55:57Speaker 2: know that you're coming.
- 55:57Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what get tackled.
- 56:00Speaker 2: He But it's like, but when you're getting coached on it,
- 56:03Speaker 2: it's like, oh, take away the upfield or you got
- 56:05Speaker 2: to approach them this way, And it's just like, bro.
- 56:07Speaker 1: What makes you a great tackler in the box, especially
- 56:10Speaker 1: on quarterbacks pass rushers breaking down, you know, taking away
- 56:13Speaker 1: their upfield. There's a there's a technique to tackling quarterbacks
- 56:17Speaker 1: and not just you know, selling out and missing lowering
- 56:20Speaker 1: your you know, path level, like you actually want to
- 56:22Speaker 1: grab them, almost like a lion takes down its prey.
- 56:24Speaker 1: You want to like jump on their back and bring
- 56:26Speaker 1: them down. But I hated open field tackles because my
- 56:30Speaker 1: whole life was past rushing. So you're in this little box.
- 56:33Speaker 1: Everything's quick twitch, you're you know, you're trying to grab people,
- 56:36Speaker 1: you're working off fights, and then you're an open field
- 56:38Speaker 1: and you're like.
- 56:40Speaker 2: Yeah, because then when you get off a block, you're
- 56:42Speaker 2: you're relatively close to the quarterback, you.
- 56:45Speaker 1: Like shoot your shot, You're like, nah, you got to
- 56:46Speaker 1: break down. Then you get embarrassed and you're like where's
- 56:49Speaker 1: my health at?
- 56:50Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 56:50Speaker 2: Or you break down too much in your feet stop
- 56:52Speaker 2: and yeah, they're pausing the footage right there. I feel you, bro,
- 56:57Speaker 2: who's your hardest who's your hardest quarterback?
- 56:59Speaker 1: To say, a big Ben big Band wore such a
- 57:07Speaker 1: baggy jersey that if you could hold onto it you
- 57:10Speaker 1: could get him down. But probably cam cam or cam
- 57:15Speaker 1: cam was tough. I missed like a few sacks on him. Yeah,
- 57:17Speaker 1: he was just so big.
- 57:19Speaker 2: Yeah, just a stunt of an athlete.
- 57:22Speaker 1: Just strugg I got after. I got it after Mike
- 57:25Speaker 1: vic a few times. That's awesome. Yeah, Mike Vick. He
- 57:35Speaker 1: and forgive me because, like I said, I know I
- 57:36Speaker 1: was a guest. But in Week one in twenty ten,
- 57:39Speaker 1: we were playing the Philadelphia Eagles in there, Kelly Green
- 57:42Speaker 1: uniform uniforms and and Kevin Cobb was a quarterback, and I,
- 57:48Speaker 1: you know, I get a sack on him. He hits
- 57:49Speaker 1: his head on the turf, and then Mike Vick comes
- 57:51Speaker 1: in and dude, this guy went off on us like that.
- 57:54Speaker 1: That set up Mike Vick to get his payday and
- 57:57Speaker 1: to be the starting quarterback. We ended up seeing him
- 57:59Speaker 1: in the playoffs.
- 57:59Speaker 8: So I got.
- 58:02Speaker 1: One sack on him then and I got another sack
- 58:05Speaker 1: on him in the playoffs. But just chasing him was
- 58:07Speaker 1: a nightmare. I mean he was and I grew up
- 58:10Speaker 1: watching this guy. You know what I'm saying. It was
- 58:11Speaker 1: like this. I was I'm not sacked in one time,
- 58:15Speaker 1: something like, you know, help them all up and saying
- 58:18Speaker 1: with Brett Farr, I mean he wasn't obviously the athlete,
- 58:20Speaker 1: but I was always helping him. I just I had
- 58:23Speaker 1: a level of respect and appreciation for.
- 58:24Speaker 2: A lot of the guys, did you play Madden growing up?
- 58:27Speaker 1: I was a two K guy, a dreamcast, a game Cast.
- 58:31Speaker 2: Two K was nice once upon a time.
- 58:33Speaker 1: You got the reference.
- 58:33Speaker 2: Yeah, two K was nice one aun of time. But
- 58:36Speaker 2: I'm remembering what was it Madden No for when Vic
- 58:39Speaker 2: was just yeah nasty.
- 58:42Speaker 5: He inspired a whole generation of young sports fans.
- 58:45Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah he did too, Yes, Clay, sorry just saying that, man, No,
- 58:53Speaker 1: he was. Yeah, he was always very complimentary. Uh quiet,
- 58:57Speaker 1: but just a stud back.
- 58:59Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 58:59Speaker 6: I don't think it's talked enough, like the fact that
- 59:01Speaker 6: he was able to just be away from the league
- 59:03Speaker 6: for two years and then come back and bring a
- 59:05Speaker 6: team to the playoffs, Like that's insane.
- 59:08Speaker 1: I I just saw something where he still has the
- 59:10Speaker 1: fastest forty time of all quarterbacks.
- 59:13Speaker 2: Really.
- 59:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there was a quarterback who ran the
- 59:15Speaker 1: fastest over the weekend. Oh yeah, but they were mentioned
- 59:18Speaker 1: like Mike vig Ram making it up four to three,
- 59:21Speaker 1: not something crazy like that, which is wild.
- 59:23Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a cat that ran.
- 59:25Speaker 5: Taylor Green ran. He got number one, like out of
- 59:30Speaker 5: the combine in all positions.
- 59:33Speaker 2: They were talking about teams. We're probably gonna come up
- 59:35Speaker 2: to him and start talking to him about receiver like
- 59:37Speaker 2: he should obviously should it.
- 59:38Speaker 1: Raiders will take the number one.
- 59:42Speaker 8: To the Jets. Did you play against vic In like
- 59:45Speaker 8: that first game back where he threw it ninety yards
- 59:48Speaker 8: to DeShawn No.
- 59:49Speaker 2: I was on Peace Squad. I remember watching it because
- 59:52Speaker 2: that was the first iteration of Chip Kelly's offense coming
- 59:54Speaker 2: into the league, and they whooped us and you saw,
- 59:58Speaker 2: damn the spread might just take the league by storm
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: and obviously got figured out and everything else. But I
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: remember that first game, that bomb that vic threw to
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: Deshaun Jackson and just the no huddle and everything, like
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: the boys were in a blender. Yeah, Fletcher out there
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: in his last year, just a blender. D'anngel Hall.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Yeah, good times, man, great times.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Shut out the Peace Squad.
- 1:00:23Speaker 8: Uh?
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: What other headlines were coming out of the coming out
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: of the combine? Did you see our boy Diego Pavia
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: hit the backflip? I did see that and come out
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: with an unbelievable quote. Did he shoot up? What was
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: his quote? I'm sorry?
- 1:00:34Speaker 12: His quote was that his your frontal front love doesn't
- 1:00:38Speaker 12: developed your twenty five and he just turned twenty four,
- 1:00:41Speaker 12: so he has three hundred and sixty days to get
- 1:00:44Speaker 12: basically on track.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, that's called upside. When we dropped somebody upside. Yeah,
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: you look at his game tape and his upside. Yeah
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: are we thinking? Where where is he? Where's he being projected?
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought I feel like he'll be like, uh,
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: six seven round guy, maybe undrafted free agent. Yeah, I
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: don't know what the boards have him as.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: He's with the Rams. I never talked about steps and
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: he walked away for like a year.
- 1:01:18Speaker 8: He had some mental health stuff going on.
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: Well he's got Johnny Manziel mentoring him, so.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's it's the frontal cortex has not fully developed.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: So maybe once it gets developed, it'll be something. I
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: like to picture him and Johnny Manziel like them, Johnny
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: mentoring him like they're just in a room playing like
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: rock'm soccer, Robots or something.
- 1:01:36Speaker 5: It's like a Theo Von podcast and just every day
- 1:01:40Speaker 5: for him.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: In Manziel, Johnny was a electric man. So my my
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: cousin Jake is still with the Falcons. He was on
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: that team, and my cousin Mike for that matter. Uh,
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: they were like left tackle, left guard and or maybe
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: Luke joke or whatever. I'm going down there, But man
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: I used to, Yeah, I would. I would tune into
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: and I remember that was it the Alabama game where
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: they were up like twenty eight three early then it
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: was like they came back and it was back and forth.
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: I mean it was electric. It was. It's a great
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: game to go back and watch.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: Johnny Manziel was such a stud man and for Diego
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: to talk about Johnny being a mentor, hopefully there's just more.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: There's other people that he's getting advice from as well,
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: not to like shit on Johnny. I'm just saying when
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: you look at the what happened with Johnny, and if
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: Diego's saying like I'm essentially like a Johnny Manziel coming
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: out of college in this way, I would ultimately be
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: my advice would be like to be cautious about that.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: Well, I choose to think optimistically and positively about you know,
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: because Johnny, I think he's done a lot of interviews
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: podcasting lately where he has I think been honest about
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: his time in Cleveland and kind of what went down,
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: and you know, he wish he would have done things differently,
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: which actually could be very beneficial to Diego based on
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: perceived or actual you know, transgressions, whether it's in whether
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: it's the you know, interview process, whether it's the heisman,
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: whether it's the club like.
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're running process because he thought he was
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: vulnerable with us on on this show. And again fan
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: of Johnny Manziel, I'm just saying, if you're a young
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: cat coming out getting mentoring and everything else, like I
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: would just say, especially if you look at Johnny Manzel too,
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: Like over the last year there's been a couple of
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: things that comes out about him where he's like going,
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: you know, going and partying, benders, like all the stuff
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: that essentially Diego kind of you know, gravitates towards when
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: it comes off the field stuff that comes out with Diego.
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: I'm just saying, be careful, be careful because everything matters,
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: you know, going through the draft process and all this team,
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: all the teams, they have you under a microscope and
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: everything that you do matters.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: Did you do any other workouts for teams or like
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: they an't want to come out like how does I
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: you weren't viting to the I know for us, it's
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: like you go to the combine, there might be a
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: few teams, especially with you. You know, we had all
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: these linebackers coming out of USC and just players in general,
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: Like you know, Tampa came out the red Yeah did you.
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: The Bengals came. The Bengals came and like had me
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: on the white board, did stuff like that, watch film.
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: The Pagers came, did stuff on the white board, watch film.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: But I never did. I didn't do like workouts for
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: a team. They never They never came after that, And
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: then I took one pre draft visit, which was to
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals. They did like a psychology task personality.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: How was it?
- 1:04:23Speaker 8: You didn't want to go there?
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: There's facilities were dogshit. And then I see all the
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: report card stuff coming out with teams and I see
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: that they're still kind of just dogshit. And the Cincinnati
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: Bengals have been dog shit for the longest time.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: How about the report Have you guys talked about the
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: report cards?
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: Have not? Have not? I see that they're trying to
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: do away with them with which I think is bullshit.
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: It's like, this is this is feedback that the players
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: are giving, that the players are giving teams in every area.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: Yeah, the owners just don't want to be criticized. But
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: when you're like the Miami Dolphins or the Minnesota Vikings,
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: you know, you're like, hell, yeah, we got a good
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: we run this thing operationally the right way, and it's
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: you know, their players and whomever or else votes on it.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: They talk about that. But there's a reason why, you know,
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: the organizations at the bottom or ones you looked at.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: I want to say, maybe it was the Jets, like
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: one of them, one of these organizations they like went
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: up from bottom to like top five or something. They
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: always it was the Commanders. Yeah, it was the Commanders. Yeah,
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: they went they went up new ownership. They probably took
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: that feedback.
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, if you're an organization and you want to win,
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: like you are obsessed with figuring out ways to win,
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: then you want any feedback you can get from the
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: from from the players, from the organization, from the personnel,
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: whatever it is. You want that feedback, no matter how
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: much it's like, Okay, we can take this for a
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: grain of salt, but ultimately just look at it from
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: the big picture perspective, like zooming out and be like, hey,
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: it seems like we can get better in these areas. Yeah,
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: but you know they want to it's like bottom line.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: Litigate.
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be a boys club happening where because
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: of X, Y and Z sized.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they like to be They like to buy islands,
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And yeah and like other
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: big airplanes.
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: Yeah yeah files.
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I get distracted, So I get distracted.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: Yeah, Mischelle, great show.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: Great And with that salary cap bumping up? How much
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: did it go up? Again?
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: What are guys even like?
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: It's insane?
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: I mean I see all the big contracts. What what's
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: the minimum matt now in the NFL?
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: When I got to the league, it was like three
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: three twenty five.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: My first year was like four to twenty.
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: It's got it? Is it over a million? Now?
- 1:06:38Speaker 7: Oh my god?
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Minimum base salary for rookies eight and forty.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: So that's that's okay with inflation, you know.
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's awesome.
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: Yeah, it is awesome.
- 1:06:47Speaker 6: Well you talk what Odell said, like one hundred and
- 1:06:49Speaker 6: fifty mili one hundred mill is not enough to last year?
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: Do what what's up? Hang on? Hang on, hang on?
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: He was doing Odell's said one hundred million dollars is
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: not enough to last.
- 1:07:02Speaker 6: On the pivot and he's not saying that he is broke,
- 1:07:05Speaker 6: but he kind of breaks down. He's like, man, one
- 1:07:07Speaker 6: hundred and fifty mili, Like, people don't realize how fast
- 1:07:09Speaker 6: it can go if you don't take care of it,
- 1:07:11Speaker 6: you know, wipe out half for taxes, you buy mama house,
- 1:07:14Speaker 6: you got people depending on you, Like, it's really not
- 1:07:17Speaker 6: really not that much. And it took heat on the internet,
- 1:07:21Speaker 6: as it should, but yeah, it was a it was
- 1:07:24Speaker 6: a wild statement.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: Odell Beckham Junior says one hundred and fifty million is
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: enough to live on. Yeah, I mean that's that's obviously,
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: that's that's cap that's bullshit.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Well, how do you want to live?
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: Sure?
- 1:07:37Speaker 7: You can?
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: You can, yes, you can easily. Not be enough, you
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: can easily, I guess, Yeah, burn through fifty million dollars.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: I like OBJ. I know what he's saying. You know,
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: I like OBJ.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Just you flying pride everywhere your vacation and you're doing
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: first class this and that security buying stuff like, yeah,
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: you will tear through. That's how you hear these stories
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: all the time of people going broke. It's just not
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: taking care of.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: Your money, not thinking long term.
- 1:07:59Speaker 1: Yeah, because what how old were you when you got out,
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: I was thirty three.
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty one, Oh yeah, thirty one.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been unemployed ever since. Yeah, it's tough.
- 1:08:12Speaker 5: Will hired you.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: Hey, thanks, brother, I appreciate it.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty though, that's that's a lot of money.
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: That's that's hard to run.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: Th I'm just amazing at the salary cap. Like I
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: hate to play these games, but you think about, like,
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: all right, well, my dad played in the league at
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: X amount of dollars, and even when I played early
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: in my career, like the salary cap went up nominally,
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: you know, it went up just like a few million
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: dollars to where like a salary would go up one
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to be the next highest paid. Now
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: we're going up four or five six million dollars in
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: between the next highest paid. You look at we talked
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: about this. You look at the pass rushers. I think
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: Max Crosby was the first to sign this pass offseason
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: at forty million. Michael Parsons right before the season started
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: forty seven million, seven million dollars nuts in just a
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: couple of months, which was unhurt. I mean seven million
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: would have taken fifteen twenty years to do that based
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: But I mean that's just it's it just shows you
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: how much the game is grown and how big the
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: NFL is and sales and whatnot.
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: Intern It's just crazy in my brain that the minimum
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: is like double.
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: Now you're thinking, if you would have played in today's age,
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: you have double your money. Yeah we could get that
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: double decker bus.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: Yeah we get that double bar bus. College.
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: Now that's true. I wouldn't have gotten me. You probably
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: would have got I would have.
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: Got some money. Yeah, yeah you what are you talking about, man? No,
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: not my senior year. Yeah, you would have.
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: I was playing, but there were some big dogs.
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: No you there would have been big dogs where you're like, damn,
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: I should be.
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: I would have gotten the crumbs.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: You'd have got a couple hundred thousand dollars. No way,
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: I promise, bro. The stuff the stuff that I hear
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: about the time NL I'm talking like you know how
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: it's like skills semi and then the line the old
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: lineman d line, like semi positions like tight ends, linebackers
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: like guys who are on like the too deep are
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: getting like several hundred thousand dollars, which that's yeah, that's awesome.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: I just think it's interesting when I have these conversations
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: with parents about like nil versus like you know, I mean,
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: I'm like, for me, just you know, being a walk on,
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: even to you to a certain extent, you know, being
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: a free agent, it has helped develop who you are
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: because you had to grind, you had to go for it,
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: you could, there was no easy way out. And it's
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: like everybody can transfer. Now you're going to chase the
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: biggest dollar. Like, where does the resiliency come in. I'm
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: I'm curious if there's a way to quantify that metric
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: of like, you know, how the transferring and the taking
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: the money and like versus does that How does that
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: affect the athlete? How does that affect the person the
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: mental It's really tough to quantify that is all I'm saying.
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: Let's you say your boys they're obsessed with playing football,
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: and they got it. When they get to high school,
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: you're legitimately going to think, like the thought process I
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: feel like now in high school is how do you
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: leverage yourself whether it's the school or the team that
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: you're on, whatever it is. Things that you do on
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: social media or on the field to where you leverage
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: as much nil money as you can before you even
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: get to the school.
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: Well, you're right, and they have those those bulletin boards
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: in the NFL locker or maybe even high school college
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: saying the percentage of you know, boys who play high
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: school ball who go on to college? Do you want
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: who play in the NFL? It always gets, you know,
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: point zero one percent. So like, yeah, you got to
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: go get your money now, because that's gonna give you
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: a leg up when it's time to get a real
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: job working nine to five if you don't make it
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: to the NFL or college or whatever it is. So
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: that's gonna that's gonna be tough. Like let's say your girls,
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: I'll just I'm gonna put this. You know, they're they're
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: playing basketball, and who's rolling in the women's South Carolina
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: South Carolina. Let's just say South Carolina and Nebraska. Well
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna remove.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: Your say okay, I was gonna say women's volleyball.
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: Right okay, And like you know, hey, we want to
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: give a million dollars to this or we want to
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: give you like two to go to this school. Like
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: that's tough right there, because you're thinking and like that's
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: life changing money, I know. But at the same token,
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: like it's got to be tough because if you have
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: a school I gave, we want to I'm making up schools.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: I don't mean to diminish anything. Like hey, Alabama's going
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: to pay you five million for your boy to go here,
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: but eight million to go to University of Maine or
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: something like that. You're like, all right, well, you know it.
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. But we're also thinking big
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: picture here, getting to the next level. Yeah, I don't know,
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: it's tough.
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: We always manage my money too. It's like you just
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: like my hope for it, let's just say it's rue
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: and rus in that spot. My hope would be that
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: like if I could find ways to get the paranoia
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: inside of her ash this money's coming in.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: So long term, that's like, no, I'm telling you, this
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: is not how it works.
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: I talk about that with my wife all the time. Like,
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: you know, raising kids when you have the means is
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: difficult because they're comfortable, So how do you push them
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: to get out of their comfort zone. It's not like
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: you're going to send them to a different school you're
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: going to take away this and that, like we drive
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: a nice car. You know, they go to a nice school,
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: like you have devices. It's it's tough. It is tough, yeah,
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: but especially when you you know, I feel like for
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: me going off to see when I was a walk on,
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: like that took me from silver Spoon to like, oh
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: this is how it works, and like I'm not allowed
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: to quit. I'm not allowed to come home. And you know,
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: like you had to, you had to figure it out,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: take something like that. But I guess we'll just cross
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: that bridge when we get there. No, dude, until then,
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: we'll keep dominating this flag football.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: Speaking of with the USC and we were talking about
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: the combine, was it melacha lemon? Yeah, makaya lemon dog
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: a little sweet and low.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: I don't know, bro, that's just gangster right there.
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, I'm about to put the
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: league on them.
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: Heye, jettus you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Like, bro,
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: he's going top ten.
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: I feel you, I feel you.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: Yeah, that's s C boy right there. Don't do his
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: thing that that s c Z Yes or not, Broy,
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: we got some killers over there in s C too.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: He's a dog.
- 1:14:15Speaker 5: He'll get it one day when the clip comes out.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: When the clip comes out.
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: Now I'm trying to figure it out.
- 1:14:23Speaker 6: They got some killers at usc Man. They got dogs
- 1:14:26Speaker 6: there allegedly allegedly.
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: Talking about j.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: I like, I love Sanchez too, but I got to
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that opinion.
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: You feel like you get caught up and doing a
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: I for your for your boys with their highlight tapes.
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: Brother, that was wild. So one of you guys posted that,
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: and you're like, which one of these is a I?
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: And so I'm watching. I think there's one. There's one
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: clip where the end zone right here, like I'm like,
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: I've never heard of the fan, Like, that's gotta be AI.
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: And then all of them are fake.
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: I didn't know that the whole all the clips were fake.
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: I thought it was like, you know, the dude who
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: throws the ball, like it's just the football in the air,
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: that's AI.
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: Some of the tackles, I'm like, that looks fake.
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: Terrible.
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: Then I was just like, and what's great is like
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: the tape is grainy, so you can kind of get
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: away with it a little bit. Like if I would
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: have had this, I might have gotten a scholarship back
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: in the day, you know, snucking a couple of AI clips.
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: I mean, like all the that's remarkable. All the coaches
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: are gonna there's gonna be the relationships with the high
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: school coach. They're gonna know if it's real or fake.
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: Now I could see, you know what. I could see
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: Lane Kiff and grabbing knowing he's grabbing an AI video
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: and be like I need this kid, gotta get this kid,
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: tell us you and they're just kind of trolling everybody.
- 1:15:47Speaker 5: Then Dabbo falls.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: For It's a man, he's a bum gets mad at Lane.
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: Yeah, that stuff is nuts, though the whole the AI
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: world itself is is crazy. I think I saw what
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: Brad Pitt and Christian Bale fighting to c Yeah yeah,
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: Brad Pitt Cruise, like fighting on.

- 1:20:27Speaker 2: But let's get into some tier talk. You want to
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: get featured on the show? Comments? YouTube comments? I found
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: some a couple good. I had a couple of good
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: lasts from last week's episode with Patrick Willis that I'll read.
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: But let's do some uh some tier talk with the internet.
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: Which one? Which one do we want to hit here? Okay,
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: this one is from at UFC Batman. This is dom
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: Box Steeler Hatfield hashtag tear talk. When is the time
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: you've experienced stadium pulse, whether on the field or in
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: day to day life.
- 1:21:00Speaker 8: That's a good question.
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: I was experiencing it last night with rue stadium pulse.
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: Like we're talking big moment. I was thinking more where
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: I had to keep my composure because she dropped the
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: crowns all over the floor and sitting the hallway help
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: pick them up. Then she wanted to do the band
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: aid by herself. She gets up the band aid box,
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: all the band aids fall over the floor. This is
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: all right before within it five minutes span, and so
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: I'm having to keep my composure. But I guess I
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: wouldn't call that like stadium pulse.
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: Well real, so I'm sorry, I understand the reference. But
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: stadium pulse. Is that like when you're flustered? Or is
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: that when we've experienced that actually playing.
- 1:21:44Speaker 5: I'm in the work room with my dad. He's asking
- 1:21:46Speaker 5: me to hand him tools.
- 1:21:47Speaker 6: When I'm six years old, I don't know what tools
- 1:21:49Speaker 6: they are, and I know whatever I had the next
- 1:21:51Speaker 6: could be the end.
- 1:21:52Speaker 5: Of my of my weekend. That's just an example.
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: That actually happened. Because it sounds like we got to
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: talk about this.
- 1:22:00Speaker 5: We did see a hilarious meme the other day.
- 1:22:02Speaker 6: It's like when your dad says to come outside, and
- 1:22:04Speaker 6: this is what's in the driveway, and it's just a
- 1:22:06Speaker 6: truck bed full of multch.
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: Oh.
- 1:22:12Speaker 12: I've never experienced this personally, but I know we've got
- 1:22:14Speaker 12: a handful of guys that are married on this bus.
- 1:22:16Speaker 12: I can imagine if y'all chose the route where you
- 1:22:18Speaker 12: have to ask your future wife's father for handing marriage.
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: That's got to be high stadium post. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

- 1:23:19Speaker 2: it because I'm nervous, Like, man, do I need to
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: be right there? But you don't want to be a
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: helicopter parent. You need to kind of let her fail

- 1:26:20Speaker 1: Probably you probably got a benefit from this, But the
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: centers had to put a mic on. Uh so that way,
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: you know, the viewer at home can hear the experience
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: a little bit more. But that's what would give away
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: the omahas, the salt and whatever it is. So we
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: would come in on Wednesday or whatever it was, before
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: meetings start, we would listen to the TV copy and
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: we put together you know, hey, this if they call this,
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: it's this if they call this. But obviously they're self scout.
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: I'm sure they change it week to week, but just
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: little things to tap into.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: So, yes, I thought you were saying there was a
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: mic straight on, like the center wore a mic because
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: you're talking about TV copy. Yeah, like you're hearing the
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: inside of like the fucking cocky.
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: I think the centers do have to wear a mic.
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not one hundred percent certain.
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be like the camera up above there's no
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: because this, Yeah, from I don't know, you're right.
- 1:27:12Speaker 1: I remember a rod talking about Aaron Rodgers talking about that,
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: saying like he hated that because naturally, if you're scouting
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: your opponent. You listen to the TV copy as well
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: as like, you know, look at the signs. You know
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: that they're giving receivers or you know they've switching sides
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: in the middle of the play.
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: Yeah, because TV copy does help. Yeah, dude, I'll give you.
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: I'll give you one here something twenty fifteen, Washington at Chicago.
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: We needed to keep them out of field goal range,
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: or they were around field goal range, but chances of
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: them making it was very slim. We had to get
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: off the field. On third down. We called a zero
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: pressure mugged up double a gap. So we're we're bringing
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: the house. It's zero and Cutler makes a check at
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. Fulsome folesome, folesome and right there,
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: from knowing TV copy, jail break screen fulsom was there left.
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: So all right, falsom was their left in prison was
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: their word for the right side. But we had just
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: went over prison because we didn't hear what folsom would be.
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: But coaches are sitting there giving you tips like it
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: could be falsom came up in it, and so once
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: you were fulsome, we were just screaming screen screen screen.
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: Dudes don't even rush. They just attack the side, get
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: the tackle. We're celebrating. They missed the field goal, or
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: they might have tried to attempt it. We win the
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: fucking game.
- 1:28:36Speaker 8: Game.
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: Jason Hatcher comes up to me because he played with
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: the Cowboys for like nine ten years before he came
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: to Washington, and he would always tell me. He'd be
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: around me during practice. He'd be like, what would Sean
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: Lee do? So WWS SLD is what he'd always say.
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: And he's like, he comes up the sideland grass and
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: he's like, that's what I'm talking about, motherfucker. That's what
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: Sean Lee would do in that situation.
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: Because Shawn Lee, I mean, he was a great I
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: mean he just kind of he had some injuries, right yeah, back, concussion, concussions, hamstring,
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: he was Yeah, when I was playing, he was always
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: in the middle Roman.
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: But man, when he was on the field and he
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: was playing, that dude put his face in the fan. Yeah,
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: I see how he had all the concussions that he
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: did have. Dude was a he wrecked shop.
- 1:29:21Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: I loved watching I mean Dallas back in the day
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: Tony Romo to Marcus Ware they had another like a
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: three technique or a five big as hell. Yeah, I
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: have to say his name. But they were rolling. They
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: were Yeah, they had a team when Wade Phillips was
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: coaching him.
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: Yeah, they ran that Tampa two where they pirate the
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: three technique.
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: I just love watching the Marcus Ma's pass rusher.
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: He was a freak to arm and he had the
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: neck roll on too. Always like he would get on
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: the field, he get paralyzed, taken off the field. He
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: come back the next week and rip off three sacks. Go,
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: I don't know how he does it? What they took
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: him off on a stretcher. I swear he's back the
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: next week twenty one sacks. I'm like, good grief, Yeah, yeah, God.
- 1:30:06Speaker 9: What was Aaron's cadence?
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: What did he say? What was his hit?

- 1:30:20Speaker 9: Didn't he use Wendy's dog?
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I don't right now. I
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: just know I knew his cadence on when he was
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: gonna go on two or even three.
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we got. We got another tier talk
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: here from.
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: Some good thing I didn't bite just like you.
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: If I became president, I'd eliminate daylight savings time. What's
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: the first thing the boys would change if they were president?
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: Hashtag tier talk? You guys got anything off the top?
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: Daylight savings?
- 1:30:56Speaker 11: Is?

- 1:30:59Speaker 1: think I'm correct? Yeah, for the cross Like it used
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: to be extra time during the day to you know,
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: harvest your crops. I believe in fact check me. But
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: but now it's just like there's studies that show, like
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: you know, mental health and whatnot, when you have to
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: wake up an hour earlier whatever it is just kind
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: of throws you off a little bit.
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: We prioritize.
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: We prioritize mental health, probably crops at this point of
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: our world's You know what I'm saying, what would I change? Huh?
- 1:31:33Speaker 1: Do you think you would just open all the borders?

- 1:31:47Speaker 1: northern wall? Like I'm just like this thing like.
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: After Game of Thrones comes out, I do think you
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: needed you need to call something the wall like North
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: to the Wall and make Canada. Canada is now known
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: as the White Walkers. You start having fun, you know
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: what I mean?

- 1:32:07Speaker 2: be a live broadcast, you would probably, and the whole
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: monitor is just gonna be a risk board, you know
- 1:32:14Speaker 2: what I mean.
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: Do you think you would change the commanders back to

- 1:32:55Speaker 1: cap on earnings and.
- 1:32:57Speaker 5: Yeah for gas is the same healthcare?
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: Probably?
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: It's like a socialist society we live in now.
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: You go back to segregating schools.
- 1:33:07Speaker 5: Is that what you want?
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: Clay Hey. One of us made up the all white squad,

- 1:33:45Speaker 2: was at the organ safety Rand a great time.
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: Yeah, is he is he projected to get drafted high
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: just because he ran fast or what?
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: No clue, No clue, there's one area it's like car
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: for me to keep up with. It's just the new
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: rookies that come in every year. Yeah, where guys are rated,
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: it's like you might know it's you know that Fernando
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: Mendoz is.
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got outside of him. I have no idea.
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: Like on the fan duel app he's minus twenty thousand
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: odds to get drafted first.
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: Overall, we should probably take that done.
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: But also, what if there's a plus odds guy out there?
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: Will you take a little shot.
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: Because Jets Jets might give up six first round picks. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: I could. They needed they need to change something after
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: and Glenn fell asleep, like change the narrative.

- 1:36:32Speaker 1: little bit better.
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: But linebacker, you get five down in front of me,

- 1:42:08Speaker 1: Like I think it was game. It was a game changers.
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: But when Delaney said, who's a dude? That was kind
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: of scary to be around when he got some Helco
- 1:42:19Speaker 2: on his system, you know, those white boys. So once

- 1:46:41Speaker 10: the Boys. We were at the Super Bowl. Now, let
- 1:46:44Speaker 10: me just put things in a perspective for you guys
- 1:46:45Speaker 10: for a little bit. There's a lot of gentlemen out here,
- 1:46:48Speaker 10: extremely talented men who have taken the world by storm
- 1:46:51Speaker 10: on the grid, on and off the field, toward here
- 1:46:53Speaker 10: doing a bunch of things for Super Bowl week. We've
- 1:46:56Speaker 10: been trying to track this man down all week long.
- 1:46:59Speaker 10: He's staying in this hotel of us, and hey, he's
- 1:47:01Speaker 10: actually staying on the same floor as us.
- 1:47:02Speaker 2: That was his mistake. That was his mistake.
- 1:47:05Speaker 10: He's now calling being like this, so you guys know
- 1:47:07Speaker 10: where the bust and boys are making you.
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: Feel like every time. I don't know if he felt
- 1:47:11Speaker 2: like this, but I'm thinking of my head. He pro
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: felt like every time he saw us, like hey, we
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: were trying to work something out, like hey, it's we
- 1:47:16Speaker 2: love to have you on, We love to have Yon.
- 1:47:18Speaker 10: Graduate of North Carolina State, also got your graduate degree
- 1:47:21Speaker 10: at Wisconsin.
- 1:47:22Speaker 13: Third round pick for the Seattle Seahawks round pick. Third
- 1:47:25Speaker 13: round pick for Seattle Seahawks.
- 1:47:26Speaker 10: Ten time Pro bowler, arguably the greatest dual threat quarterback
- 1:47:31Speaker 10: of all time.
- 1:47:31Speaker 13: Super Bowl Champion Will Compton.
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: What are you reading right there? I'm just I'm looking
- 1:47:35Speaker 2: over these career SATs because what year did you just finish? Fourteen? Fourteen,
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: which is nuts to think about, but as I see this,
- 1:47:42Speaker 2: like from a bird's eye view, it's like forty six thousand,
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: nine and twenty one passing yards, It's good. Like when
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: I see what is it? He is the lone quarterback
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: in NFL history to accumulate forty thousand passing yards and
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: five thousand rushing yards for his career. Additionally, Wilson joined
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: Peyton Manning from twenty twelve to twenty fourteen as the
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: only quarterback in NFL history with thirty plus passing touchdowns
- 1:48:05Speaker 2: and one hundred plus passer rating in three consecutive seasons.
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: That was eighteen through twenty for you, that is.
- 1:48:12Speaker 10: And also we had all those stats along and then
- 1:48:14Speaker 10: since his rookie year when nobody even knew the man.
- 1:48:16Speaker 10: On Tuesdays, every Tuesday, he's going to visit children in
- 1:48:18Speaker 10: the hospital.
- 1:48:19Speaker 13: So we're talking about all around the good guy.
- 1:48:22Speaker 10: Let's give a und applause for the one the only
- 1:48:23Speaker 10: Russell Wilson's.
- 1:48:28Speaker 13: Is it exhausting?
- 1:48:29Speaker 8: Dude?
- 1:48:29Speaker 7: Good to be on bus?
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: Is it exhausting?
- 1:48:31Speaker 7: Which part do you guys down? Exhaust introducing you?
- 1:48:35Speaker 13: We Fandel last night and they're doing it.
- 1:48:38Speaker 10: We got Rob groncast he's here, but Russell Wilson list
- 1:48:42Speaker 10: also busting with the boys is here, and then say
- 1:48:45Speaker 10: NFL players.
- 1:48:46Speaker 13: List, like where do you find the time?
- 1:48:49Speaker 1: What's your schedule?
- 1:48:50Speaker 11: Like, well, first of all, it's crazy. First of all,
- 1:48:52Speaker 11: be on the show with you fellas. You know, I'm
- 1:48:54Speaker 11: excited to be on here with your guys, which we're
- 1:48:55Speaker 11: on the bus right now, but we're here, But no,
- 1:48:59Speaker 11: I'm super grateful to be on here with you guys.
- 1:49:00Speaker 11: I've admired y'all, both y'all's careers. I compete against both
- 1:49:03Speaker 11: of you guys too.
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: Hey, you're one of my three just yeah, hey, one
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: of my three interceptions out there. I don't want to.
- 1:49:10Speaker 11: I probably juked you along the way, But no, man,
- 1:49:14Speaker 11: I'm just grateful for being here you guys. You guys
- 1:49:15Speaker 11: are doing a great job. But no, going back to
- 1:49:17Speaker 11: your original question, man, how do I find the time?
- 1:49:19Speaker 11: I think just being organized, you know, really trying to
- 1:49:22Speaker 11: be all things to the things I love. You know, obviously,
- 1:49:24Speaker 11: I think obviously talking ball is something I absolutely love
- 1:49:27Speaker 11: to do, and being on here with you guys and
- 1:49:29Speaker 11: talking on life and all the other stuff that goes
- 1:49:30Speaker 11: along with it.
- 1:49:32Speaker 7: But yeah, I just try to be organized as possible.
- 1:49:33Speaker 11: I got a good team around me too that helps,
- 1:49:35Speaker 11: and just put things together and make sure I'm ready
- 1:49:37Speaker 11: to go.
- 1:49:38Speaker 2: The balance is gotta be difficult at times, because again,
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: like you, you have businesses, you have found a foundation
- 1:49:44Speaker 2: like the children's hospital going every Tuesday, the fourteen year
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: career ahead and the stats I just readdle Off, You're
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: also a father, like it has got to be challenging
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: at times to have the balance, have the organization because
- 1:49:55Speaker 2: your wife's a superstar as well. Like do you ever
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: are you guys ever able sitting back or when you're
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: in bed about to fall asleep? Like, yo, our life
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: is the gratitude that you have.
- 1:50:06Speaker 11: I think life is all about gratitude. I think that
- 1:50:08Speaker 11: you know, there's challenges along the way. It's just like
- 1:50:10Speaker 11: everybody else's life. We all don't have it perfect or
- 1:50:13Speaker 11: anything like that. And I think just having a heart
- 1:50:15Speaker 11: full of gratitude and joy in the midst of storms
- 1:50:18Speaker 11: and things like that, and just also knowing like there's
- 1:50:20Speaker 11: always better days ahead, you know, just like when I
- 1:50:23Speaker 11: hit the ground, I just want to hit hit the
- 1:50:24Speaker 11: ground running. And you know, it's like to me, it's
- 1:50:27Speaker 11: funny because like when I go to sleep, I don't
- 1:50:29Speaker 11: sleep much like I sleep about five hours a night maybe,
- 1:50:32Speaker 11: but when I when I do, I'm gone because I
- 1:50:35Speaker 11: feel like I've exhausted myself all day, using all my
- 1:50:38Speaker 11: gas in my in the car, you know what I mean,
- 1:50:41Speaker 11: and just you refill it, you know, and just go again.
- 1:50:43Speaker 11: And I think to me, I always I always said
- 1:50:46Speaker 11: that you never want to die empty. You know, I
- 1:50:48Speaker 11: want to die if I die, I die, I want
- 1:50:50Speaker 11: to die empty. I mean I've used everything I had,
- 1:50:53Speaker 11: you know, for everyone and everyone else and everything that
- 1:50:56Speaker 11: I want to accomplish. And so, you know, I feel
- 1:50:58Speaker 11: like I'm still grown and I'm still learning every day,
- 1:51:02Speaker 11: and just being a dad is awesome too. And then
- 1:51:05Speaker 11: you know, having kids and just you know, seeing them
- 1:51:07Speaker 11: grow up is crazy. You got four of them running
- 1:51:09Speaker 11: around eleven, eight, five, and two, and so there's there's
- 1:51:13Speaker 11: their challenges too.
- 1:51:14Speaker 7: On top of that.
- 1:51:14Speaker 11: Yeah, and then you're you're also I think you're trying
- 1:51:18Speaker 11: to be the best in the world what you do.
- 1:51:19Speaker 11: And it was funny because I was talking to somebody
- 1:51:21Speaker 11: the other day about, you know, my career, and I
- 1:51:24Speaker 11: feel like, you know, I've been in a you know,
- 1:51:27Speaker 11: a heavyweight fight, meaning it's been it's been fourteen rounds, yeah, right,
- 1:51:31Speaker 11: you know, and I feel like I've won eleven of them,
- 1:51:33Speaker 11: and I feel like I've lost maybe the last couple,
- 1:51:35Speaker 11: but it doesn't mean I won't win fifteen and sixteen.
- 1:51:37Speaker 7: And so that's kind of been my mentality.
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: So kind of a bar that is kind of a bar.
- 1:51:42Speaker 2: The old school heavyweight the rounds would go up to
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: what fifteen? What is left in the tank for Russell
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: Wilson Because again, you look back on some of these
- 1:51:50Speaker 2: career statistics, like you you obviously we've we played nine
- 1:51:53Speaker 2: getting to watch you whooped our ass. I remember when
- 1:51:56Speaker 2: your first year at Wisconsin or your was that your
- 1:51:58Speaker 2: only year at Wisconsin? You whook this when Nebraska came
- 1:52:01Speaker 2: to town. But get in to kind of like watch
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: your career unfold and being being now more of an
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: observer and you're talking about losing the last couple of rounds,
- 1:52:08Speaker 2: like how much longer do you want to play this game?
- 1:52:10Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 1:52:10Speaker 7: I want to play a few more years for sure.
- 1:52:12Speaker 11: I think for me, you know, I've always had the
- 1:52:14Speaker 11: vision of game to forty at least, you know, I
- 1:52:16Speaker 11: think you know the game is different. You know, quarterbacks,
- 1:52:19Speaker 11: we get hit it's not you know, we get hit hard,
- 1:52:21Speaker 11: but it's there's certain rules.
- 1:52:22Speaker 7: I mean back in the day, but I started bro
- 1:52:25Speaker 7: you just get blood. Yeah.
- 1:52:27Speaker 11: So the game I feel like allows you to you know,
- 1:52:29Speaker 11: live a little longer. I guess you know, I feel healthy,
- 1:52:32Speaker 11: I feel great. But I think more than anything else
- 1:52:34Speaker 11: is do you love the game? Do you love studying.
- 1:52:36Speaker 11: Do you love the passion for it all? Do you
- 1:52:38Speaker 11: love the process? Do you love the practice? Do you
- 1:52:40Speaker 11: love Everybody loves the winning part of it, But it's
- 1:52:42Speaker 11: the process. There's a journey to get to be obsessed with.
- 1:52:44Speaker 11: And that part I'm obsessed with is the being around
- 1:52:47Speaker 11: the fellows in the locker room and all that too.
- 1:52:49Speaker 11: You know, It's that's the part I still absolutely love
- 1:52:52Speaker 11: and enjoy. So for me, you know, you know, I
- 1:52:55Speaker 11: think about certain guys. I think about guys like l Way.
- 1:52:58Speaker 11: I think about guys even Peyton Manning himself, and you know,
- 1:53:02Speaker 11: different guys that I've been around and witnessed or whatever
- 1:53:05Speaker 11: it may be. And you know they some of them
- 1:53:07Speaker 11: didn't win to the end. You know, I think about
- 1:53:10Speaker 11: Elway's career, you know, winning at the end of his career.
- 1:53:12Speaker 11: I think about Peyton winning again at the end of
- 1:53:14Speaker 11: his career. You know, those moments are you know, special moments.
- 1:53:18Speaker 11: Even Tom himself, who obviously played a forty five, you know,
- 1:53:21Speaker 11: has been the greatest example for anybody at this position
- 1:53:24Speaker 11: or anybody in our in our game. You know, he
- 1:53:26Speaker 11: won i know four in the last seven or something
- 1:53:29Speaker 11: crazy like that. So you know why why I think
- 1:53:31Speaker 11: anything else, you know, And I think it's about being
- 1:53:33Speaker 11: around the right people the right time, you know, all
- 1:53:36Speaker 11: the glue coming together. You've seen that with Sam Donald.
- 1:53:38Speaker 11: You know, obviously we're here at the super Bowl, but
- 1:53:40Speaker 11: you're seeing that with Sam Donald and all his situation
- 1:53:43Speaker 11: for four or five years wasn't what he wanted it
- 1:53:45Speaker 11: to be, right, Yeah, And you see it with Baker Mayfield,
- 1:53:47Speaker 11: a guy who I I love watching play and compete,
- 1:53:50Speaker 11: you know, and just goes from Baker goes from Cleveland
- 1:53:52Speaker 11: to Carolina. It doesn't work there, and then he gets
- 1:53:54Speaker 11: a shot in LA with Sean McVeigh on a Thursday
- 1:53:56Speaker 11: night game, has a great game. The next you know,
- 1:53:58Speaker 11: a couple of games real you know, he's sitting in
- 1:54:01Speaker 11: Tampa Bay, you know, and doing his thing. I think
- 1:54:03Speaker 11: Sam Darnold the same thing. And so it just takes
- 1:54:06Speaker 11: the right place at the right time. I know that,
- 1:54:09Speaker 11: as you mentioned, the resume is one thing, but it's
- 1:54:11Speaker 11: about the moment right now, and how do I use
- 1:54:13Speaker 11: all that experience for something good.
- 1:54:15Speaker 10: Yeah, he's talking about Sam and they were talking about
- 1:54:18Speaker 10: his scattering report as he was coming out, and one
- 1:54:20Speaker 10: thing like an intangible that he had is that he's
- 1:54:22Speaker 10: unfazed by failure. Well, it does not affect him at all,
- 1:54:25Speaker 10: which is something that I think every quarterback should be
- 1:54:27Speaker 10: able to have. You brought up the rounds right, fourteen rounds.
- 1:54:30Speaker 10: You've won eleven of them in the last couple of years.
- 1:54:32Speaker 10: We've had a little bit of jumping around Broncos the
- 1:54:35Speaker 10: situation which I'm gonna read the tweet because buddy, I'll
- 1:54:38Speaker 10: be honest with you, that's fucking awesome area it's tweet.
- 1:54:42Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I'll read the tweet. I'll read the tweet
- 1:54:44Speaker 10: right now, actually, because I do your team's for Like, Okay,
- 1:54:47Speaker 10: we're gonna bring this up right now, but yeah we are.
- 1:54:49Speaker 13: This is the tweet that you put out.
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: It is.
- 1:54:53Speaker 10: Class list dot dot dot but not surprised didn't realize
- 1:54:56Speaker 10: you're still bounty hunting fifteen plus years later through the media. Now,
- 1:55:00Speaker 10: a lot of people, and I know prs probably sit
- 1:55:02Speaker 10: back to like, Okay, it's not necessarily the vision we
- 1:55:04Speaker 10: want to get off.
- 1:55:04Speaker 2: But dude, maybe they tweeted it.
- 1:55:06Speaker 13: Maybe they did the.
- 1:55:09Speaker 10: Human the human element of that and every guy because
- 1:55:13Speaker 10: everybody who works nine to five jobs drives trucks, blue
- 1:55:16Speaker 10: collar lifestyle they sit down on a Sunday and they
- 1:55:18Speaker 10: watch these heroes on TV and they put them at
- 1:55:21Speaker 10: this higher life thing and they see all the charity
- 1:55:23Speaker 10: you do, how much you give back, what you and
- 1:55:25Speaker 10: your wife will do both do together, and your foundations
- 1:55:27Speaker 10: and everything like that. It's like, oh, this guy is
- 1:55:30Speaker 10: so up here. It's so hard to me to even
- 1:55:32Speaker 10: visualize that we're even in the same like class. And
- 1:55:35Speaker 10: to put a tweet like that is like very humanizing
- 1:55:38Speaker 10: towards like, yeah, we all are affected by decisions that
- 1:55:41Speaker 10: are made off the camera, off of the field, and
- 1:55:44Speaker 10: that's like a it's a humanizing element that when I
- 1:55:46Speaker 10: saw that tweet them, like, dude, this is fucking badass. Yeah,
- 1:55:50Speaker 10: that russells and bites back because you do you you run,
- 1:55:53Speaker 10: You're a very classy individual. You're very well spoken guy,
- 1:55:56Speaker 10: you're well addressed. You're come in, you shake everybody's hand.
- 1:55:58Speaker 10: You see all my boys, you're shaking their and it's
- 1:56:01Speaker 10: like this dude, this dude's operating at a high level.
- 1:56:03Speaker 10: But then you see that tweet and it's like, Okay,
- 1:56:06Speaker 10: this dude he sees it all like he's seeing a
- 1:56:09Speaker 10: three sixty.
- 1:56:09Speaker 13: Yeah, a full three sixty so I don't even know
- 1:56:12Speaker 13: where I was going with that.
- 1:56:13Speaker 10: Oh yeah, the three the three rounds. You look at
- 1:56:15Speaker 10: those three rounds and how the operation of all that
- 1:56:18Speaker 10: has gone? Like where do you think you could have
- 1:56:20Speaker 10: handled some things better? Where do you think you did
- 1:56:23Speaker 10: a good job in some of those spots? Because a
- 1:56:25Speaker 10: lot of times the success you have earlier in your career,
- 1:56:29Speaker 10: people want to like if people are really good, like
- 1:56:31Speaker 10: Jordan and Kobe all those people like you get used
- 1:56:33Speaker 10: to people being great, and then when they're not or
- 1:56:35Speaker 10: something happens, it's like so quick to point the finger.
- 1:56:38Speaker 10: So in those in these last three rounds, like how
- 1:56:40Speaker 10: do you think you could have done a better job?
- 1:56:42Speaker 10: And where do you think you've hmmed yourself great in
- 1:56:43Speaker 10: this adversity?
- 1:56:44Speaker 11: Yeah, I think there's always a maturation process. I think,
- 1:56:46Speaker 11: first of all, going back to the tweet, like I
- 1:56:48Speaker 11: don't say much. I never hardly ever say anything. I
- 1:56:50Speaker 11: think there's a time and place. But sometimes you get
- 1:56:53Speaker 11: fatigued of people talking about you. You just see, like
- 1:56:56Speaker 11: you mentioned, you're all human, you know, but it's one
- 1:56:58Speaker 11: thing for people that maybe aren't in the field or
- 1:57:02Speaker 11: aren't you know, have you know, people say bots or whatever,
- 1:57:06Speaker 11: talking like, I don't, I don't worry about that stuff
- 1:57:07Speaker 11: like that.
- 1:57:08Speaker 8: That never.
- 1:57:08Speaker 11: But but to me, but to me, when you've been
- 1:57:10Speaker 11: in the ring or you've been you know, on the
- 1:57:13Speaker 11: same side and this and that, and I got the
- 1:57:15Speaker 11: same amount of rings as you got, meaning Sean right,
- 1:57:20Speaker 11: like yeah, and listen, I got a lot of respect
- 1:57:22Speaker 11: for him as a play call or this and that.
- 1:57:24Speaker 7: But to take a shot, I don't, I don't.
- 1:57:26Speaker 11: I don't like you know, I don't think it's necessary,
- 1:57:28Speaker 11: you know what I mean, especially when I'm not even
- 1:57:30Speaker 11: on your own team anymore. So for me, there's a
- 1:57:32Speaker 11: point in time where you have to I've realized I've
- 1:57:36Speaker 11: stayed quiet for so long. There's a there's a time
- 1:57:38Speaker 11: and place where I'm not right. And so I think
- 1:57:40Speaker 11: that you know, for me, I know who I am
- 1:57:43Speaker 11: as a competitor, as a warrior, as a as a
- 1:57:45Speaker 11: champion to and uh, you know, I've beaten Sean to
- 1:57:49Speaker 11: you know, like we've been on the same place and
- 1:57:50Speaker 11: the same thing. And so it's not a matter of disrespect.
- 1:57:53Speaker 11: Just don't disrespect me. That's my big thought. So going
- 1:57:56Speaker 11: back to what I could have done better along the way, Man,
- 1:57:59Speaker 11: I think that you know, one, you always want to
- 1:58:01Speaker 11: win more games.
- 1:58:02Speaker 7: Yeah, it's all about winning.
- 1:58:03Speaker 11: Like, at the end of the day, nobody cares about
- 1:58:06Speaker 11: anything else but winning, no matter how you do it.
- 1:58:08Speaker 7: I think that you also you also reflect back.
- 1:58:11Speaker 11: On you know, the process of uh, you know, like
- 1:58:15Speaker 11: little things that maybe you don't like. When you're up
- 1:58:18Speaker 11: here for so long, you don't really realize all the
- 1:58:22Speaker 11: all the nuances that go around. Meaning for example, like
- 1:58:25Speaker 11: like I had my own office in Seattle all the time,
- 1:58:28Speaker 11: but it was because I was always watching film.
- 1:58:30Speaker 7: It wasn't a negative thing in Seattle.
- 1:58:32Speaker 11: Right If you go to somewhere else and maybe somebody
- 1:58:33Speaker 11: thinks it's, well that's strange, that's weird. But they gave
- 1:58:36Speaker 11: me the office. They said, hey, we want to have
- 1:58:38Speaker 11: everything you had in Seattle. I didn't ask for it,
- 1:58:40Speaker 11: they said it. So like those things happen. But when
- 1:58:43Speaker 11: you reflect back, I mean, okay, well when I do
- 1:58:45Speaker 11: it again, okay, I don't need that. It's not something
- 1:58:47Speaker 11: I need necessarily. We can figure that out. Like those
- 1:58:50Speaker 11: little things that people said, I had my own parking spot.
- 1:58:51Speaker 11: I didn't have my own parking spot. I just got
- 1:58:53Speaker 11: there early and parked in the same first three, four
- 1:58:56Speaker 11: or five spots. So like those little things that you
- 1:58:58Speaker 11: realize that happen, you understand that that that's like you
- 1:59:04Speaker 11: can't ever be affected by that. And so that's why
- 1:59:06Speaker 11: I've never really changed, you know, my my thought process
- 1:59:09Speaker 11: in terms of those things. I think the one thing
- 1:59:11Speaker 11: I've done consistently well is I always try to love
- 1:59:13Speaker 11: my teammates. I always love the game, I love practice,
- 1:59:15Speaker 11: I love and so for me, like you know, going
- 1:59:19Speaker 11: to Pittsburgh was a great experience for me because the
- 1:59:22Speaker 11: players love ball. You know, the guys love ball. It
- 1:59:25Speaker 11: was cool guys like Cam Hayward, t J. Watt, guys
- 1:59:28Speaker 11: like that. I love being around, you know, and and
- 1:59:32Speaker 11: you know, to be able to mentor guy like George
- 1:59:34Speaker 11: Pickens and be around him and seeing all the things
- 1:59:36Speaker 11: he's been able to do, you know, and playing with him,
- 1:59:38Speaker 11: and you know, being a ground Guys like DK Metcalf
- 1:59:40Speaker 11: and Tyler Lockett like the love of the game, Bobby Wagner,
- 1:59:43Speaker 11: guy who just one man the year.
- 1:59:44Speaker 7: Those are my boys for life.
- 1:59:46Speaker 11: You know, Guys like Cliff Averell, who who you know,
- 1:59:49Speaker 11: like played on the defensive side. But we've been forever close,
- 1:59:52Speaker 11: you know, for.
- 1:59:52Speaker 7: A long time.
- 1:59:53Speaker 11: Guys like Charlie Martin, Guys like Jimmy Graham, like one
- 1:59:55Speaker 11: of my favorite teammates. We only played a couple of
- 1:59:58Speaker 11: years together, but man, we you know, we have a
- 2:00:00Speaker 11: bunch of funs who are in touchdowns in the end zone,
- 2:00:01Speaker 11: but we're forever locked in, like literally talk to them
- 2:00:04Speaker 11: all the time, you know, and quite a bit so
- 2:00:07Speaker 11: Robert Turbin, who was my roommate. Like those are the
- 2:00:10Speaker 11: memories and things that you never let go and you
- 2:00:12Speaker 11: would never change anything for, you know. And people can
- 2:00:15Speaker 11: question play this that why did this happen? But then
- 2:00:19Speaker 11: the day I've given my all to the game. And
- 2:00:21Speaker 11: when you give your all, you got nothing to You
- 2:00:23Speaker 11: have nothing to apologize for, you know, like there's certain
- 2:00:26Speaker 11: points in your life that like got nothing to apologize
- 2:00:29Speaker 11: for except for giving my all. You rather liked me,
- 2:00:31Speaker 11: you love me, you hate me, whatever it is.
- 2:00:34Speaker 7: It's like you just.
- 2:00:37Speaker 11: I'll love you fully even if you don't love me,
- 2:00:39Speaker 11: that's your choice. But end of the day, like I'm
- 2:00:41Speaker 11: gonna give my all to the game because that's what
- 2:00:43Speaker 11: the game deserves. And so that's how I always viewed it,
- 2:00:46Speaker 11: and so I think it's got I got more teammates
- 2:00:49Speaker 11: that I'm closer to than not. I got more people
- 2:00:51Speaker 11: than we hit up and talk to all the time,
- 2:00:54Speaker 11: and those things I never regret. So I think that
- 2:00:57Speaker 11: like when the higher you get, there's always noise, you know.
- 2:01:00Speaker 11: My old pastor used to say when I was in
- 2:01:02Speaker 11: I was going through a tough time. My dad was
- 2:01:04Speaker 11: on his deathbed. I was in Raleigh, North Carolina and
- 2:01:07Speaker 11: c State, and there was a lot going on. I
- 2:01:11Speaker 11: was playing great in football, but there's a lot of
- 2:01:13Speaker 11: other stuff going on in the world and my world
- 2:01:16Speaker 11: or whatever, and it's just challenging my dad on his deathbed.
- 2:01:18Speaker 11: And I just remember the pastor saying one day to me,
- 2:01:20Speaker 11: he said, remember, as you continue to rise, the greater
- 2:01:23Speaker 11: you're great, the more they're gonna hate. The greater you're great,
- 2:01:26Speaker 11: the more they're gonna hate. And I just, I funnily
- 2:01:28Speaker 11: always believe that, like it's part of uh that's part
- 2:01:32Speaker 11: of trying to go to the mountaintop. And sometimes you
- 2:01:35Speaker 11: fall and people like watching you fall, and sometimes you
- 2:01:38Speaker 11: got everybody who leaves you down in the valley. But
- 2:01:40Speaker 11: you just keep climbing, and you want to be around
- 2:01:43Speaker 11: the people that allow you to keep climbing. You want
- 2:01:46Speaker 11: to be around the people that sometimes you know what,
- 2:01:47Speaker 11: you don't have any more strength, but they keep pushing
- 2:01:50Speaker 11: you up. And it's like, those are the people that
- 2:01:52Speaker 11: I want to be around because I'm gonna do the
- 2:01:53Speaker 11: same for them. And I think that's that's kind of
- 2:01:55Speaker 11: been my thought process.
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: When you earlier, when you talk about you love the process,
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: you love ball, you love showing up. And again, over
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: fourteen years, i'd imagine especially over the last few that
- 2:02:07Speaker 2: there's been years where that process and that love and
- 2:02:10Speaker 2: that joy has been challenged. What years have those been
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: for you? Because again, you've also been in a lot
- 2:02:16Speaker 2: of different seats. Now you've been the guy that's won
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. You know, we were obviously at FANDOL
- 2:02:21Speaker 2: last night joking about you know, you was joking back,
- 2:02:24Speaker 2: joking back and forth with the Gronk on the slant
- 2:02:25Speaker 2: route and everything else to where you've lost a super Bowl.
- 2:02:28Speaker 2: You're kind of in this dynasty ish realm where you
- 2:02:30Speaker 2: got all these great players together all we'll get back
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: to the next time. So where you've been the second contract,
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: third contract guy at the same spot, and maybe I'll
- 2:02:37Speaker 2: be a Seahawk forever. You've been a this team, Denver
- 2:02:42Speaker 2: is trading everything to get acquire you in like a
- 2:02:46Speaker 2: fourth round pick to where you are now the pinnacle
- 2:02:49Speaker 2: of the football stories and headlines. So where you're at
- 2:02:51Speaker 2: Denver expected to bring a super Bowl. You go to
- 2:02:54Speaker 2: where you're like a mercenary guy for a year with
- 2:02:56Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers and you're a starting quarterback on that roster.
- 2:02:59Speaker 2: You've went through this year to where you got bench
- 2:03:01Speaker 2: and got to be a backup and a mentor to
- 2:03:03Speaker 2: young cats like Jackson Dart. So you've been in so
- 2:03:05Speaker 2: many different seats. How has like your joy and love
- 2:03:09Speaker 2: for the process been challenging at times when you reflect
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: back on really the back half of your career.
- 2:03:13Speaker 11: Well, first of all, I'm gonna have you right the
- 2:03:15Speaker 11: backside of my book one day. No, man, I think
- 2:03:20Speaker 11: in that nuts though. Yeah, like you've been in so
- 2:03:22Speaker 11: many different streat journey, I think it's been a challenging one.
- 2:03:25Speaker 11: But I didn't ask for it to be easy, you know,
- 2:03:28Speaker 11: I didn't ask for it to be simple.
- 2:03:30Speaker 7: I think that the big part of it.
- 2:03:31Speaker 11: Is is that, man, I go back to Seattle, like
- 2:03:34Speaker 11: ten amazing electric years. You know, just everything just you
- 2:03:38Speaker 11: know was electric and the things we able to do
- 2:03:40Speaker 11: early in my career, and also you know, from twenty
- 2:03:44Speaker 11: fifteen to twenty twenty one, twenty twenty in particular, like
- 2:03:48Speaker 11: I broke my finger in twenty one, I felt like
- 2:03:50Speaker 11: I was the top of my game and broke my
- 2:03:51Speaker 11: finger unfortunately, but like just those years were just dominant too,
- 2:03:56Speaker 11: you know, so like I felt like, you know, just
- 2:03:58Speaker 11: that was an amazing part of my life that will
- 2:04:01Speaker 11: forever be a part of my life. And I'm a
- 2:04:02Speaker 11: part of my journey and part of my story, historical
- 2:04:04Speaker 11: part of it, and then the history of being in Denver.
- 2:04:08Speaker 7: Like it was challenging. I tore my lat.
- 2:04:10Speaker 11: I was playing, you know, on it with you know,
- 2:04:13Speaker 11: I tore eighty ninety percent of my lat. I'm like
- 2:04:15Speaker 11: right side trying to throw. But it was hard, bro
- 2:04:17Speaker 11: it was like I was about every throw.
- 2:04:19Speaker 7: But like, you know, I'm a competitor. I'm old school.
- 2:04:21Speaker 11: I believe that the quarterbacks supposed to be on the
- 2:04:23Speaker 11: field no matter what the circumstances are. You know, I
- 2:04:25Speaker 11: gotta go. There's no other I didn't come to, you know,
- 2:04:27Speaker 11: come here, just not go compete. And the unfortunate part
- 2:04:30Speaker 11: is we lost like nine games by like five six
- 2:04:32Speaker 11: points or less, you know which, like in seatle, we
- 2:04:35Speaker 11: always want them. Yeah, but I think that was, like,
- 2:04:37Speaker 11: you know, a challenging piece of just figuring that out.
- 2:04:40Speaker 11: But okay, you go through that first year and it
- 2:04:42Speaker 11: is what it is, and then here comes Sean pay.
- 2:04:43Speaker 11: I'm super excited about that. Like we're having candle night,
- 2:04:47Speaker 11: candle dinners and watching film together, red Zone, this, that
- 2:04:50Speaker 11: and the other. Just sitting there like in his office
- 2:04:52Speaker 11: like everything's going everything's going great and everything else, and
- 2:04:57Speaker 11: all of a sudden, you know, I'm I think I'm
- 2:04:59Speaker 11: second and a see your second NFL and touchdown passes.
- 2:05:02Speaker 11: But our record is not very good. We've been challenged
- 2:05:04Speaker 11: along the way, and I think we got beat by
- 2:05:07Speaker 11: like Miami seventies to twenty something like that. It was
- 2:05:09Speaker 11: it was just a tricky situation and and then and
- 2:05:13Speaker 11: then yeah, but then you know, like Vance Joseph does
- 2:05:16Speaker 11: an amazing job. I remember playing in Chicago. We're down
- 2:05:19Speaker 11: twenty eighty seven at halftime, and I remember the halftime
- 2:05:22Speaker 11: is why why are we always losing? And I said, man,
- 2:05:24Speaker 11: you guys are tired of losing. Quit talking like we're
- 2:05:26Speaker 11: losing I quit.
- 2:05:28Speaker 7: Acting like we're losing.
- 2:05:29Speaker 11: We got to and so that shift and then all
- 2:05:31Speaker 11: of a sudden, like I remember, Advance Joseph and I
- 2:05:34Speaker 11: actually talk and I going up to him. I said, man,
- 2:05:36Speaker 11: don't forget who you are. This is at halftime. After that,
- 2:05:39Speaker 11: I went up to him and just I just remember,
- 2:05:42Speaker 11: you know, talking to him one on one on the
- 2:05:43Speaker 11: sideline right before the half. I said, we're gonna win
- 2:05:45Speaker 11: this damn game. Like We're gonna win this game. And
- 2:05:48Speaker 11: all of a sudden, like I said, Advance, just be
- 2:05:50Speaker 11: you man. You're the hardest guys I've ever gone. And
- 2:05:52Speaker 11: sure enough, like and it wasn't because of me, It's
- 2:05:54Speaker 11: because of Vance and the defense. But I'm talking about
- 2:05:56Speaker 11: just in those moments, moments of communication like and just
- 2:06:00Speaker 11: I just remember, like us coming back and win that game,
- 2:06:03Speaker 11: and all of a sudden, we got on a hot
- 2:06:04Speaker 11: streak and we started winning a bunch of games. We'd
- 2:06:06Speaker 11: beat Green Bay, we go we beat Kansas City and
- 2:06:08Speaker 11: beating Kansas City and you know, I don't know, eight
- 2:06:11Speaker 11: years something crazy like that. And then you know, also
- 2:06:13Speaker 11: we had beat Minnesota. We'd beat a bunch of teams
- 2:06:15Speaker 11: along the way, and we felt like we were like
- 2:06:18Speaker 11: one of the hotter teams in football, and I felt
- 2:06:21Speaker 11: like I was like, you know, like I'm me again, fully,
- 2:06:24Speaker 11: you know, And there's a tricky situation where they, you know,
- 2:06:27Speaker 11: they may go, I want to make a business decision
- 2:06:29Speaker 11: and say we're going to bench you for the rest
- 2:06:30Speaker 11: of your last nine games if you don't change the
- 2:06:32Speaker 11: injury guarantee. I'm like, wait, what I'm going to I'm
- 2:06:34Speaker 11: in the Halloween party, you know. So that was challenged.
- 2:06:37Speaker 11: That was probably the most challenging piece because internally I
- 2:06:41Speaker 11: knew what was going on.
- 2:06:42Speaker 7: From the business standpoint, I didn't.
- 2:06:43Speaker 11: It was kind of bs, to be honest with you,
- 2:06:45Speaker 11: but like I'm dealing with that but also still trying
- 2:06:47Speaker 11: to be a leader and still trying to be in
- 2:06:49Speaker 11: the moment without letting anybody know. And I just remember
- 2:06:52Speaker 11: going to Buffalo didn't know if I was going to
- 2:06:53Speaker 11: play that following week against Buffalo Buffalo Bills, and I
- 2:06:58Speaker 11: remember going to that like it.
- 2:06:59Speaker 2: Just context to you on the business decision when they
- 2:07:02Speaker 2: make the change. It's like if you were still in
- 2:07:03Speaker 2: the field and you were to get hurt, they would
- 2:07:05Speaker 2: have to owe you.
- 2:07:07Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:07:07Speaker 11: Yeah, that was part of the deal that we did.
- 2:07:09Speaker 11: You know, that's everybody's dealing an injury guarantee. But if
- 2:07:12Speaker 11: I if I said yes and they remove the injury guarantee,
- 2:07:14Speaker 11: now all of a sudden, you know, I get injured
- 2:07:16Speaker 11: in the following week, Right, I don't make that. And
- 2:07:19Speaker 11: but the bigger issue is not just myself, but the
- 2:07:21Speaker 11: rest of the NFL. If if I do it, it's
- 2:07:24Speaker 11: gonna happen for everybody else. They're gonna make everybody else
- 2:07:26Speaker 11: do it right and changing. So I'm not gonna set
- 2:07:29Speaker 11: a bad president for NFL players, right. So so anyways,
- 2:07:32Speaker 11: I'm like, listen, like I'm gonna figure out it's bye week.
- 2:07:35Speaker 11: I don't know if I'm gonna be a play the
- 2:07:37Speaker 11: following week.
- 2:07:37Speaker 7: We're gonna let me play or not.
- 2:07:39Speaker 11: So anyways, my point is is, like I remember playing
- 2:07:42Speaker 11: Monday Night Football. They said, Okay, you're gonna play this game?
- 2:07:43Speaker 11: Like am I gonna play the next ones?
- 2:07:45Speaker 7: Like we don't know?
- 2:07:46Speaker 2: And this is where you're you guys are going back
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: and forth on this injury guarantee.
- 2:07:49Speaker 10: Yeah, so like is you is your agent calling you
- 2:07:52Speaker 10: and tell you this or are they coming up to
- 2:07:53Speaker 10: you in the facility and being.
- 2:07:54Speaker 11: Like Hey, this is this is bye weeks. I'm I'm
- 2:07:57Speaker 11: in LA. But the thing is is that I don't
- 2:07:59Speaker 11: know if I'm a Monday Night Football.
- 2:08:01Speaker 2: Yeah right, that finally was.
- 2:08:02Speaker 11: Playing Buffalo and we've got on a hot street. We
- 2:08:04Speaker 11: started to beat these teams, Like wait, what do you mean?
- 2:08:06Speaker 7: I'm not gonna play?
- 2:08:07Speaker 11: And so all the way up to that following Monday,
- 2:08:10Speaker 11: I didn't know coming up to the Monday Night Football
- 2:08:12Speaker 11: And so like that game in particular, that whole week,
- 2:08:15Speaker 11: I just had to go like almost cold internally to
- 2:08:18Speaker 11: know that I gotta be I gotta be my dask
- 2:08:22Speaker 11: no matter what. And that's always a week, but like
- 2:08:24Speaker 11: this time, there's no there's no other option here, right,
- 2:08:27Speaker 11: So like I remember making a double spin move, throwing
- 2:08:30Speaker 11: in the back corner to Courtland sudden fourth down, he
- 2:08:32Speaker 11: makes a crazy catch, and I just remember I don't
- 2:08:35Speaker 11: really ever talk, you know.
- 2:08:36Speaker 7: And I'm like.
- 2:08:39Speaker 11: I remember coming to the silent and I was like
- 2:08:41Speaker 11: you must not know me, you know, And I'm like
- 2:08:44Speaker 11: I'm looking all this, looking at people, the energy and
- 2:08:47Speaker 11: the juice, and like like like who you're talking whatever,
- 2:08:50Speaker 11: I'm walking up and then and then the reviewing the
- 2:08:51Speaker 11: play and I already know what it tucks. I'm like this,
- 2:08:53Speaker 11: I'm like looking like it's a touchdown, like I know
- 2:08:55Speaker 11: it court and they got his feet and they're like,
- 2:08:57Speaker 11: is it a touchdowns?
- 2:08:58Speaker 1: A not?
- 2:08:58Speaker 8: You know?
- 2:08:58Speaker 7: Is it that I have to touch And.
- 2:09:01Speaker 11: There's really only one person I'm talking to in that moment,
- 2:09:03Speaker 11: you know, yeah really, And so for me, it was
- 2:09:05Speaker 11: like that's a touchdown, you know, And that was my mentality,
- 2:09:10Speaker 11: like to flip on like you know, and so, but
- 2:09:13Speaker 11: you know what's crazy is is that like the people,
- 2:09:17Speaker 11: the players the bowls, Cortland, Sutton, guys like Javonte Williams,
- 2:09:24Speaker 11: different guys I've been around, Tim Patrick, man, I wouldn't
- 2:09:27Speaker 11: trade any of that because of the relationships the people
- 2:09:30Speaker 11: that I got to be close with and listen and
- 2:09:35Speaker 11: listen they they they obviously have bow now who's done
- 2:09:38Speaker 11: an amazing job. Like I actually texted Bo post the game
- 2:09:42Speaker 11: that he got hurt and and you know, stayed in
- 2:09:45Speaker 11: touch with him a little bit and just like I
- 2:09:47Speaker 11: don't have any jealousy in my heart. That's not my
- 2:09:52Speaker 11: how my how I function. It's like man, like man,
- 2:09:55Speaker 11: go shine bro like this that and the other. And
- 2:09:57Speaker 11: I think the big part of it when you give
- 2:09:59Speaker 11: to others is always returned back to you. And I've
- 2:10:02Speaker 11: always learned that. So like, I think that like even
- 2:10:05Speaker 11: though I had I felt like I throw twenty six
- 2:10:07Speaker 11: touchdowns eight interceptions that year, I still had two games
- 2:10:10Speaker 11: up to play. They benched me in the final out.
- 2:10:12Speaker 11: I knew it was. That was it, And so like, okay,
- 2:10:15Speaker 11: now what I want to do?
- 2:10:16Speaker 8: Now?
- 2:10:16Speaker 7: Where am I gonna go?
- 2:10:17Speaker 11: And to go to Pittsburgh with Mike Tomlin, to go
- 2:10:20Speaker 11: there with guys like Cam Heyward and TJ wid like
- 2:10:22Speaker 11: I mentioned earlier, and be around that organization and that
- 2:10:26Speaker 11: like old school football, like they're obsessed football and that
- 2:10:29Speaker 11: fan base and the tow was like it was one
- 2:10:32Speaker 11: of my coolest experience, isn't it? And even though it
- 2:10:35Speaker 11: didn't you know, it was only a year there, it
- 2:10:37Speaker 11: was one of my best experiences in the relationships I
- 2:10:39Speaker 11: have there. Then going to New York and you know,
- 2:10:42Speaker 11: playing there and I got to, you know, be around
- 2:10:44Speaker 11: a great organization there that's you know, been you.
- 2:10:48Speaker 7: Know, world class.
- 2:10:49Speaker 11: I think what's what's been amazing about that is is
- 2:10:53Speaker 11: like it was humbling. I had just threw four fifty
- 2:10:55Speaker 11: three touchdowns against the Cowboys. Following I got a bench
- 2:10:58Speaker 11: after the third game, and I say, Okay, this is different.
- 2:11:01Speaker 11: But to be able to respond and react to that
- 2:11:03Speaker 11: and still say, you know, I still have the C
- 2:11:05Speaker 11: on my chest.
- 2:11:05Speaker 7: I still gotta lead, I.
- 2:11:06Speaker 11: Still gotta love, I still got to push, I still
- 2:11:07Speaker 11: gotta so like nothing's taken away, that nothing's taken the
- 2:11:12Speaker 11: love of the game away from me, and nobody can
- 2:11:14Speaker 11: because if you really love it, and if it's unconditional,
- 2:11:16Speaker 11: it can't be taken. And so I've been tested, and
- 2:11:19Speaker 11: that's what part of overcoming is all about.
- 2:11:22Speaker 8: Right.
- 2:11:22Speaker 11: We all have challenges in our own personal lives. We
- 2:11:24Speaker 11: have the challenges of things we've gone through physically injuries,
- 2:11:28Speaker 11: you know, like I battled through injuries and playing through stuff.
- 2:11:30Speaker 11: And then that's just what the job recalls, it calls for,
- 2:11:33Speaker 11: as we all know that that's sitting here, and so
- 2:11:36Speaker 11: sometimes those years may be not your best. But once
- 2:11:38Speaker 11: you once you catch like once you hit fire again,
- 2:11:41Speaker 11: it's like it's electric again. So that's just that's just
- 2:11:44Speaker 11: you know, finding that that that that that gas again,
- 2:11:47Speaker 11: that light again and doing that all over again.
- 2:11:50Speaker 10: How was how was the relationship or how is the
- 2:11:52Speaker 10: room in general in New York with Jackson Darwish. I'm
- 2:11:57Speaker 10: sure you had the other creatine Caucasian cam's got it
- 2:12:00Speaker 10: scampering around somewhere.
- 2:12:04Speaker 13: Caucasians like we actually that's our we started that.
- 2:12:08Speaker 10: Yeah, so yeah, dude, I mean they the way he's
- 2:12:13Speaker 10: playing kid refuses to slide camp Scataboo will be on
- 2:12:16Speaker 10: a bee line, He'll see somebody that I'll hit him instead.
- 2:12:19Speaker 10: And then you know, Jameis Winston, who anytime he's in
- 2:12:22Speaker 10: the public light, it's like the it's must see TV,
- 2:12:25Speaker 10: Like what is that room?
- 2:12:27Speaker 2: Like?
- 2:12:28Speaker 11: You know what what's amazing about the room is, it's
- 2:12:30Speaker 11: the personality is amazing. It's we're always up here, energy
- 2:12:34Speaker 11: is always high. But I think what was amazing about
- 2:12:36Speaker 11: the room is our work ethic. Like our work ethic
- 2:12:39Speaker 11: was top notch.
- 2:12:40Speaker 8: Every day.
- 2:12:40Speaker 11: There was no like slacking of let's be ready to go,
- 2:12:43Speaker 11: let's be ready to work, you know. And and I
- 2:12:45Speaker 11: think we set the bar high, you know, and doing
- 2:12:48Speaker 11: that every day, I try to set the bar high.
- 2:12:50Speaker 11: I think James does a good job of that as well.
- 2:12:52Speaker 11: And and Jackson you know too, He's a great competitor,
- 2:12:55Speaker 11: you know, and obviously shows out on the field, how
- 2:12:57Speaker 11: he plays, and so it was all always fun. It
- 2:13:00Speaker 11: was always you know, a joy, even even in the
- 2:13:03Speaker 11: midst of the storms and the tough stuff. Like I mean,
- 2:13:05Speaker 11: we're there early in the morning's five, five thirty, you know,
- 2:13:09Speaker 11: early in the morning, getting our workouts in and staying
- 2:13:12Speaker 11: consistent with that all the way to you know, late
- 2:13:14Speaker 11: in the season and being there untill eight thirty a night,
- 2:13:17Speaker 11: watching films, still all together, you know, with the boys,
- 2:13:20Speaker 11: you know, filming with the boys, filming the boys. But
- 2:13:23Speaker 11: we uh, you know, those things are the love of
- 2:13:26Speaker 11: the game never changes.
- 2:13:27Speaker 7: And I think, like I said, it's unconditional.
- 2:13:30Speaker 2: You how much different is the New York media compared
- 2:13:33Speaker 2: to the other spots you've been.
- 2:13:34Speaker 7: I don't know, man, I'm used to a lot of
- 2:13:35Speaker 7: media I've been.
- 2:13:37Speaker 11: Uh, I've been, you know, you know, I think in Seattle,
- 2:13:41Speaker 11: you we were, we were, we were so freaking good.
- 2:13:44Speaker 7: There was so much media always around.
- 2:13:45Speaker 11: So I was used to it, you know, it was
- 2:13:47Speaker 11: what it was, I think, you know, And Pittsburgh was
- 2:13:50Speaker 11: similar to you know, Pittsburgh has a lot of media
- 2:13:54Speaker 11: is in a great way, and I think obviously being
- 2:13:57Speaker 11: in New York, there's no city like New York City,
- 2:14:00Speaker 11: wor Old and so to me it was you know,
- 2:14:04Speaker 11: it didn't really change anything for me. I've been used
- 2:14:06Speaker 11: to a lot of noise, positively or negatively whatever. It's
- 2:14:09Speaker 11: just I have a rule, like I don't watch ESPN
- 2:14:11Speaker 11: during during the season. I've always been that way.
- 2:14:15Speaker 2: Get upon the screen and the facility.
- 2:14:17Speaker 11: I mean literally literally, if I'm like walk through the
- 2:14:20Speaker 11: training room, locker room, it's like just been like peek,
- 2:14:24Speaker 11: just keep going. But that's always been me since my
- 2:14:25Speaker 11: rookie year. But that's during the season, you know, and
- 2:14:27Speaker 11: like just keeping your head focused.
- 2:14:29Speaker 10: That's a it's a very good to limit distractions because
- 2:14:31Speaker 10: I mean I remember playing then that dreaded search bar
- 2:14:34Speaker 10: on the Twitter.
- 2:14:35Speaker 11: Yeah quotation through success though too. It's like, you know,
- 2:14:42Speaker 11: like I said, I have been you know, ten eleven
- 2:14:44Speaker 11: rounds of of high level ball at the highest level,
- 2:14:47Speaker 11: and that can get you to you know, that can
- 2:14:50Speaker 11: so like especially in the midst of a season. So
- 2:14:52Speaker 11: how do you stay focused on just in the moment.
- 2:14:55Speaker 11: And you know, I think one of the one of
- 2:14:58Speaker 11: the gifts that God has given.
- 2:14:59Speaker 7: Me one is a sermon.
- 2:15:01Speaker 11: I think the two is just simply the ability to compartmentalize,
- 2:15:04Speaker 11: you know, the ability to you know, take one thing
- 2:15:07Speaker 11: and be in that moment and be where my feet are,
- 2:15:10Speaker 11: and then to be in the next moment.
- 2:15:11Speaker 7: Be where that is.
- 2:15:12Speaker 11: And sometimes you got to combine the two. But sometimes
- 2:15:15Speaker 11: you just leave that and do that really well and
- 2:15:16Speaker 11: try to do this and try to overcome this and
- 2:15:19Speaker 11: try to figure out how to do that well and
- 2:15:21Speaker 11: do this and be in that and be in a
- 2:15:22Speaker 11: vulnerable state, and that goes challenging and it's hard to
- 2:15:25Speaker 11: do well. And then everything over here is going great,
- 2:15:27Speaker 11: and then like, so how do you measure that? And
- 2:15:30Speaker 11: how I've learned how to do that is just be
- 2:15:31Speaker 11: in the moment where you are and then just letting
- 2:15:33Speaker 11: it flow and just being in that. And so you
- 2:15:38Speaker 11: know, I always talk about being neutral and not being too high,
- 2:15:40Speaker 11: not being too low, just being right here and knowing
- 2:15:42Speaker 11: that whatever sucks right now is probably going to turn
- 2:15:45Speaker 11: to good, and whatever is good may not be great
- 2:15:47Speaker 11: one day and you just gonna be like, Okay, well
- 2:15:49Speaker 11: that's going to turn back to being great again, and
- 2:15:51Speaker 11: just you just balance that and you understand that. And
- 2:15:54Speaker 11: ultimately it's about the people year around, you know, and
- 2:15:56Speaker 11: we can be around good people and do that love
- 2:15:58Speaker 11: you and care and this and that, and knowing that
- 2:16:00Speaker 11: they know that you're not perfect either in your flaw
- 2:16:03Speaker 11: and you have tough stuff and you got life and
- 2:16:05Speaker 11: at the same time, you got big dreams and goals.
- 2:16:08Speaker 11: And as long as those people are in line with
- 2:16:09Speaker 11: trying to make those things happen, I think that's what
- 2:16:12Speaker 11: you really get addicted to and love.
- 2:16:14Speaker 2: We interrupt this episode because we are brought to you

- 2:19:08Speaker 11: year where you know, probably a game where like six
- 2:19:10Speaker 11: or seven he's getting on a piano and climbing on
- 2:19:13Speaker 11: top of a piano and he's like standing on top
- 2:19:15Speaker 11: of here, and he's like standing a little bit higher
- 2:19:17Speaker 11: and he's like look down, and he does this visualization
- 2:19:20Speaker 11: of like, Okay, if your feet on the ground right,
- 2:19:22Speaker 11: and this is a little thing he does, but if
- 2:19:23Speaker 11: your feet on the ground right, are you nervous? If
- 2:19:26Speaker 11: you look down, you're not nervous. Right, you go up
- 2:19:28Speaker 11: another foot, you look down, you're nervous. And he shows
- 2:19:30Speaker 11: a picture of this guy sleeping on top of a
- 2:19:33Speaker 11: bridge like in New York City building these skyscrapers, and
- 2:19:36Speaker 11: the guys are like don't have anything really much, and
- 2:19:38Speaker 11: they're like they're probably have like a thing of alcohol
- 2:19:41Speaker 11: in their hand. They're falling asleep, and they're laying asleep
- 2:19:44Speaker 11: on the skyscraper in the middle afternoon.
- 2:19:46Speaker 7: He's like, do you think those guys are scared?
- 2:19:49Speaker 11: He's like, as you go higher, right, and this piece
- 2:19:52Speaker 11: of wood that's you know, three feet wide. When it
- 2:19:55Speaker 11: was on the ground, it wasn't scary. Right, When you
- 2:19:58Speaker 11: get higher and higher, higher and you look down, it
- 2:20:00Speaker 11: makes you a little nervous, right, But it's the same
- 2:20:03Speaker 11: piece of wood. And so like you always like, I
- 2:20:06Speaker 11: always love that visualization because as you go higher, right,
- 2:20:10Speaker 11: and you're in the same fundamental space. But sometimes you
- 2:20:13Speaker 11: look down, it's like and you're on the highest point
- 2:20:15Speaker 11: of your life, you know, sometimes like it's a little nervous.
- 2:20:19Speaker 2: Yeah, when you look down, like, okay, well what if
- 2:20:21Speaker 2: I fall from here?
- 2:20:22Speaker 7: You know, you can't think that way.
- 2:20:24Speaker 11: Yeah, those guys aren't thinking that way. They're you know,
- 2:20:26Speaker 11: building those skyscrapers. And if you want to build them,
- 2:20:29Speaker 11: you got to go up there and climb and not
- 2:20:30Speaker 11: be nervous, right, And so like those little moments I remember,
- 2:20:34Speaker 11: I think that he was always the same Me and
- 2:20:36Speaker 11: Pete were always in the same wavelength. I think one
- 2:20:39Speaker 11: of the things that we always did really extremely well
- 2:20:41Speaker 11: was I think the head coach and quarterback relationship has
- 2:20:45Speaker 11: got to be on the same page. It's got to
- 2:20:47Speaker 11: be the dynamic relationship of that is everything it moves
- 2:20:50Speaker 11: the needle. It moves when you can be on the
- 2:20:52Speaker 11: same page to the media. We can be on the
- 2:20:53Speaker 11: same page. On the field, we can be on the
- 2:20:55Speaker 11: same page in the locker room, be on the same page,
- 2:20:57Speaker 11: you know, off the field, in the community, this and
- 2:20:59Speaker 11: that and relationship, but the same page with the addiction
- 2:21:02Speaker 11: to the game.
- 2:21:04Speaker 7: That's when magic happens.
- 2:21:05Speaker 11: And I think I was fortunate to be around Pete
- 2:21:08Speaker 11: and you know, and I'm looking for that next relationship
- 2:21:11Speaker 11: to do that with. But I think that's that's something
- 2:21:14Speaker 11: that was really special.
- 2:21:15Speaker 2: Did you ever think when you're having all those years
- 2:21:17Speaker 2: in Seattle, you win the super Bowl, super Bowl early
- 2:21:20Speaker 2: the twenty fifteen year, happens where you lose, did you
- 2:21:23Speaker 2: ever think, like, hey, we'll be back here at some
- 2:21:26Speaker 2: point and that's been the last time you've been at
- 2:21:29Speaker 2: a super Bowl.
- 2:21:29Speaker 11: Yeah, I think we all I think we always think that,
- 2:21:31Speaker 11: you know, we always think that we're always going to
- 2:21:32Speaker 11: be back. But I think it's it's not just about
- 2:21:35Speaker 11: necessarily being back. It's just about being in the moments
- 2:21:38Speaker 11: as you continue to go. Like the only way we
- 2:21:39Speaker 11: got there was through hard work every day and the
- 2:21:42Speaker 11: love for the game and some of the all time
- 2:21:44Speaker 11: greats have never been to a super Bowl.
- 2:21:46Speaker 7: Yeah, Like I think about the guys myself.
- 2:21:47Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you know, but I think when you think
- 2:21:54Speaker 11: about like the all time great.
- 2:21:55Speaker 2: Somebody to do in the first round.
- 2:21:58Speaker 8: Yeah, you know.
- 2:22:00Speaker 11: Sometimes Will loved his joke, but you know it's sometimes
- 2:22:06Speaker 11: we get to the you know, we never get there.
- 2:22:08Speaker 11: And I've been fortunately be able to get there twice
- 2:22:10Speaker 11: and know how to get there. And I think, you know,
- 2:22:12Speaker 11: like I said earlier at the very top of this
- 2:22:13Speaker 11: earlier on is like guys like John Elway that I've
- 2:22:17Speaker 11: always loved watching, you know, and when I was young,
- 2:22:20Speaker 11: and different guys who along the way when they've you know,
- 2:22:23Speaker 11: watching highlights or whatever it may be. You know, a
- 2:22:26Speaker 11: guy who won at the end, you know, a guy
- 2:22:28Speaker 11: like Peyton Manning who I've always admired and played against
- 2:22:31Speaker 11: and competed against this and that, like, you know, he
- 2:22:34Speaker 11: won the end, you know, and like why not win
- 2:22:36Speaker 11: some at the end?
- 2:22:37Speaker 8: Yea?
- 2:22:37Speaker 7: Yeah, So that's kind of the mine, right the.
- 2:22:40Speaker 10: Right the end of your story, the way you always
- 2:22:41Speaker 10: saw it happening. How was I lost by trying?
- 2:22:44Speaker 2: I thought, well, might have another one.
- 2:22:47Speaker 11: What do you feel like for you guys, Like, Yeah,
- 2:22:49Speaker 11: what's the journey been like for you guys transitioning from
- 2:22:52Speaker 11: football to this? Obviously you guys have built this crazy
- 2:22:55Speaker 11: you know business with this and everything else and all
- 2:22:57Speaker 11: the viewership and everything else.
- 2:22:59Speaker 7: Like what was the.
- 2:23:00Speaker 11: Challenge and journey and that for you guys each individually?
- 2:23:03Speaker 11: Obviously you know you world class and what you've done
- 2:23:07Speaker 11: so going from being world class on football, and I
- 2:23:11Speaker 11: don't I'm joking, but I'm also being serious, like being like,
- 2:23:14Speaker 11: think about it, right, there's only sixteen hundred roughly a
- 2:23:16Speaker 11: little bit more than that NFL guys a year. You
- 2:23:19Speaker 11: know when you think about that, right, like your world
- 2:23:21Speaker 11: class is eight point five billion people in the world,
- 2:23:24Speaker 11: and we get to do get to you know, sack
- 2:23:26Speaker 11: a quarterback.
- 2:23:27Speaker 7: Every once on our intercept the ball or whatever it
- 2:23:29Speaker 7: may be.
- 2:23:30Speaker 11: You know. But like my point is is that, like
- 2:23:36Speaker 11: when you think about all the things you guys have
- 2:23:37Speaker 11: been accomplished throughout your lives careers, football and what football meant,
- 2:23:41Speaker 11: I think just you know, the transition from that, what
- 2:23:44Speaker 11: was the what was the one thing that you guys
- 2:23:47Speaker 11: did extremely well to make that like jump to what
- 2:23:50Speaker 11: you guys are doing now.
- 2:23:52Speaker 2: I would say jump when you can afford to drown.
- 2:23:55Speaker 2: I want to see. The biggest hurdle was probably fear
- 2:23:59Speaker 2: for myself. I'll speak for myself, but when I was
- 2:24:02Speaker 2: in what was that the sixer, gosh six or seventh year,
- 2:24:07Speaker 2: it's just the fear of knowing, like what am I
- 2:24:10Speaker 2: going to do when this is over with? For me,
- 2:24:13Speaker 2: because I had five awesome years in Washington, loved playing there,
- 2:24:17Speaker 2: and I signed with Tennessee on like a one year,
- 2:24:19Speaker 2: smaller deal, and that year they also drafted Rashaan Evans,
- 2:24:23Speaker 2: an inside backer, in the first round, so you kind
- 2:24:25Speaker 2: of like know what time it is and in my spot,
- 2:24:27Speaker 2: then I never root for injury, but if I'm going
- 2:24:30Speaker 2: to get film, if I'm going to get on the field,
- 2:24:33Speaker 2: you kind of need things to happen to where I
- 2:24:35Speaker 2: have an opportunity to be out there. And so that
- 2:24:37Speaker 2: didn't happen. So I was a backup and a special
- 2:24:39Speaker 2: teams guy that entire year. I knew I was going
- 2:24:41Speaker 2: to go into the market as a minimum sign contract veteran,
- 2:24:45Speaker 2: which is fine, but part of me was like it
- 2:24:47Speaker 2: was starting to set in like I could be I'm
- 2:24:49Speaker 2: on the back nine, Like I don't know when this
- 2:24:51Speaker 2: is going to end, like I might have one more
- 2:24:53Speaker 2: year left, I might need the perfect situation. And I
- 2:24:56Speaker 2: dabbled with the idea, like I remember writing in my
- 2:24:58Speaker 2: journal in Washington, I love to have a podcast with
- 2:25:01Speaker 2: one million downloads was the first. It was the first
- 2:25:04Speaker 2: iteration where I started writing about the podcast and then
- 2:25:07Speaker 2: kind of getting around the boys bringing it up, like
- 2:25:08Speaker 2: Taylor Logan, Ryan we just saw him this week, but
- 2:25:11Speaker 2: Derek Morgan when I would bring it up, they'd be like, hey, yeah,
- 2:25:13Speaker 2: you should do it, you should do it. I talked
- 2:25:15Speaker 2: Taylor into doing it, but I would say for me,
- 2:25:18Speaker 2: it was just that fear of knowing, like I don't
- 2:25:20Speaker 2: want to wait until after the game ends, because my
- 2:25:24Speaker 2: joke when I'm we're like, what advice would you give
- 2:25:26Speaker 2: the guys for when they're playing football or maybe after football.
- 2:25:30Speaker 2: I'd be like, man, dive into your curiosities while you're playing,
- 2:25:33Speaker 2: because your jokes are funny, you're better looking, and you
- 2:25:35Speaker 2: can shake more hands, like when you are wearing the
- 2:25:37Speaker 2: shield on you and don't wait because then when you
- 2:25:39Speaker 2: wait and it's on the other side, like you know,
- 2:25:42Speaker 2: you see the guys where and I'm not saying it's
- 2:25:44Speaker 2: across the board, but just the vibe of when you're
- 2:25:46Speaker 2: out of the league and trying to get something going,
- 2:25:48Speaker 2: it's just a different it's a different feel for when
- 2:25:51Speaker 2: you're trying to get something started versus when you have
- 2:25:52Speaker 2: the momentum when you are pulling.
- 2:25:54Speaker 11: It's great advice too for guys like, yeah, so I
- 2:25:56Speaker 11: always say the NFL is not for long. Yeah, I
- 2:25:58Speaker 11: tell you what, just focus on football. But at the
- 2:26:00Speaker 11: same time, you know, the lifetime span of a guy's
- 2:26:03Speaker 11: two and two point eight three years, So if you don't,
- 2:26:06Speaker 11: you know, focus on building and crafting, but also staying
- 2:26:09Speaker 11: focused and I think the ability to be disciplined.
- 2:26:10Speaker 2: In that yeah, man. And so that just that whole
- 2:26:13Speaker 2: mentality of like, man, I've really been curious to do this.
- 2:26:17Speaker 2: Taylor's on board with doing it, Like I would hate
- 2:26:20Speaker 2: to get to where I'm like, I regretted that we
- 2:26:22Speaker 2: didn't start a podcast or I didn't start a podcast,
- 2:26:24Speaker 2: because it's like do I go into coaching, Like what
- 2:26:26Speaker 2: things am I interested in doing? And so I feel
- 2:26:29Speaker 2: like at that moment, I was like, all right, if
- 2:26:31Speaker 2: we start this podcast, now you're taking something and you're
- 2:26:34Speaker 2: kind of making it more about yourself. Because we know
- 2:26:36Speaker 2: growing you know, playing football, We've identified it our entire
- 2:26:40Speaker 2: lives since like first or second grade. It's always sacrificed
- 2:26:43Speaker 2: for the logo. And you see when guys retired, it's
- 2:26:45Speaker 2: like the logo wants you to sacrifice for it while
- 2:26:48Speaker 2: you're playing, but the moment you're done, it's not like
- 2:26:49Speaker 2: they're there laying with you at night and holding your
- 2:26:52Speaker 2: hands to the next thing. So I'm like, all right,
- 2:26:54Speaker 2: if I play myself out of the league by having
- 2:26:56Speaker 2: this podcast jump when you can afford your round, so
- 2:26:58Speaker 2: be it, Like, let's just let's try it. Unfortunately, I
- 2:27:01Speaker 2: get to play a few more extra years. I felt
- 2:27:03Speaker 2: like I was playing with house money because I just
- 2:27:05Speaker 2: found like the love I had for the game when
- 2:27:07Speaker 2: I was a little kid. Because it's so business oriented,
- 2:27:09Speaker 2: like when you're in the league, especially when you taste
- 2:27:12Speaker 2: and you feel the teeth for the first time when
- 2:27:15Speaker 2: you were like riding high and then a team doesn't
- 2:27:17Speaker 2: sign resign you, or there's just all the ego involved
- 2:27:20Speaker 2: where you're like, Okay, this isn't what I thought it
- 2:27:21Speaker 2: would be at times, and so yeah, that's what I
- 2:27:24Speaker 2: would say would be the hardest part of the biggest
- 2:27:26Speaker 2: thing is getting over the mental hurdle of that fear
- 2:27:28Speaker 2: of like all right, like let's do it, let's figure out,
- 2:27:31Speaker 2: let's see if this works.
- 2:27:32Speaker 10: It's so interesting hearing you say your perspective because we were,
- 2:27:35Speaker 10: like Will and I were in totally different parts of
- 2:27:36Speaker 10: our career when this podcast started. Like Will was thinking like, oh,
- 2:27:40Speaker 10: I'm almost done, and I was always a guy that
- 2:27:41Speaker 10: was like all eggs in one basket. If that doesn't
- 2:27:44Speaker 10: work out, I'm sure I'll find something. So when it
- 2:27:46Speaker 10: was like NFLPA is coming in. Hey, by the way,
- 2:27:48Speaker 10: you guys can do all these things and make sure
- 2:27:50Speaker 10: your network, I was like, dude, fuck that. Like I'm
- 2:27:52Speaker 10: playing football. I am the guy that's going to just
- 2:27:55Speaker 10: be the best I can at this and it's all
- 2:27:56Speaker 10: gonna work out. So when Will comes to the tight
- 2:28:00Speaker 10: from the Redskins, I just signed my my contract to
- 2:28:03Speaker 10: be the highest paid player or highest plaid tackle.
- 2:28:06Speaker 2: He was unlimited, a nice little bag.
- 2:28:14Speaker 13: So I I meet my boy.
- 2:28:16Speaker 10: We like obviously have like a great friendship like from
- 2:28:19Speaker 10: the start, and when he comes to me with this idea,
- 2:28:21Speaker 10: my first thought wasn't I gotta figure out what's next?
- 2:28:24Speaker 10: It was it was still fear, but the fear was like,
- 2:28:27Speaker 10: I wonder what people, my peers are going to think
- 2:28:29Speaker 10: about this because it's so different because now there's so
- 2:28:32Speaker 10: many podcasts that players do. Active NFL players, basketball players
- 2:28:36Speaker 10: all over the place are doing this, But the time
- 2:28:38Speaker 10: I don't think I I. I'm sure someone did, but
- 2:28:41Speaker 10: no one was doing this before that. So it was
- 2:28:43Speaker 10: like a fear of like, Okay, I'm gonna go especially
- 2:28:47Speaker 10: and all the things like we're all brainwashing the idea
- 2:28:50Speaker 10: that like when you play football like it's a team sport,
- 2:28:52Speaker 10: and if you make it about yourself at all, like
- 2:28:54Speaker 10: you're cheating the game and you're cheating your brothers. And
- 2:28:56Speaker 10: by me stepping out and being doing this podcast, it
- 2:28:59Speaker 10: was like, am I kind of like, am I fucking
- 2:29:01Speaker 10: the boys over? I kind of felt like.
- 2:29:03Speaker 2: In the media could take it any bite that you
- 2:29:05Speaker 2: have and turn it into whatever they want.
- 2:29:06Speaker 10: And dude, the first podcast we did was with Delaney
- 2:29:08Speaker 10: Walker and he talked about getting an IV with too
- 2:29:11Speaker 10: much air in it that the Titans gave him and
- 2:29:13Speaker 10: he couldn't play a game.
- 2:29:14Speaker 13: It was a preseason game.
- 2:29:14Speaker 10: He thought he was gonna die. So the next day
- 2:29:17Speaker 10: I go into practice or whenever it came out. I
- 2:29:19Speaker 10: go into OTA's practice and we in the training staff
- 2:29:21Speaker 10: is looking at me like I killed somebody in their family,
- 2:29:23Speaker 10: and I'm like, what's what's this all about? Going to
- 2:29:26Speaker 10: a team meeting and Vrabel pulls up that clip and
- 2:29:31Speaker 10: let's it just play, And I'm sitting there in this
- 2:29:33Speaker 10: thing like this is the biggest mistake I could have
- 2:29:35Speaker 10: possibly made his doing this, and Babel's just like, Hey,
- 2:29:37Speaker 10: if you guys want to have cute little media platforms,
- 2:29:40Speaker 10: go ahead, but just know that the media is gonna
- 2:29:42Speaker 10: take anything you say and it's gonna twist it against you.
- 2:29:44Speaker 13: So that was probably the first year and a half.
- 2:29:47Speaker 11: How do you respond to that part of it with that,
- 2:29:50Speaker 11: because you know, like I you know when you like
- 2:29:52Speaker 11: you said, well you got the bag like yourself or
- 2:29:55Speaker 11: there was there's.
- 2:29:55Speaker 7: A level of security.
- 2:29:57Speaker 10: Yeah, there was definitely a level of security. But you
- 2:29:58Speaker 10: know what it is like when you're high paid, like
- 2:30:00Speaker 10: you're there's an expected.
- 2:30:01Speaker 7: Leader, That's what I mean.
- 2:30:02Speaker 11: There becomes like a like you said, it comes more
- 2:30:05Speaker 11: challenging because the higher you go, there's there's a different
- 2:30:08Speaker 11: level of yeah, right, because you look down and it's
- 2:30:12Speaker 11: like you said earlier, like you're on that skyscraper.
- 2:30:14Speaker 7: Yeah, your highest.
- 2:30:15Speaker 10: Paid left tackle, and just use your your skyscraper analogy
- 2:30:17Speaker 10: like I'm building a skyscraper in football and I got
- 2:30:19Speaker 10: my boy over here and being like, let's build this
- 2:30:21Speaker 10: up here. So I essentially jump off that to go
- 2:30:22Speaker 10: to this and jump back and forth, hoping like everything
- 2:30:26Speaker 10: kind of works out.
- 2:30:27Speaker 2: So Taylor calls me right after the meeting and tells
- 2:30:29Speaker 2: me I'm not this my year. My one year had finished.
- 2:30:31Speaker 2: I'm a free agent at this time. But I'm like,
- 2:30:33Speaker 2: oh shit, Rabel's pissed. Like I'm feeling like I'm still
- 2:30:35Speaker 2: fearing the fear of God that Rabel can bring to
- 2:30:38Speaker 2: you at times, and it's we're just like, essentially, you,
- 2:30:43Speaker 2: we gotta be careful, even though we do want to
- 2:30:45Speaker 2: do this.
- 2:30:45Speaker 10: So we get like ten episodes in and Rabel is like, Okay,
- 2:30:49Speaker 10: I'll come do your little podcast.
- 2:30:51Speaker 7: I'll do it.
- 2:30:51Speaker 10: And then that's where we had the viral clip of
- 2:30:53Speaker 10: him saying he'd cut us Peace off for a Super
- 2:30:55Speaker 10: Bowl and when he had that, it was like that
- 2:30:58Speaker 10: Rabel coming on was all seem massive for our brand,
- 2:31:01Speaker 10: but it was also a massive for like me, freedom
- 2:31:03Speaker 10: knowing that like okay, Like by him coming on, he's
- 2:31:05Speaker 10: essentially toast sign like it's okay that you're doing.
- 2:31:08Speaker 2: Yeah, giving us like a verification.
- 2:31:10Speaker 10: And I know, I know you got to get out
- 2:31:11Speaker 10: of here. But there's like there's a whole world of
- 2:31:14Speaker 10: during the season, like I I don't want to go.
- 2:31:16Speaker 10: Let's say I have a bad football game and then
- 2:31:18Speaker 10: I'm on Monday. But like guys welcome into bus road
- 2:31:20Speaker 10: with the boys ball and it's like, oh, this guy
- 2:31:22Speaker 10: doesn't care about football, when really it's a complete opposite,
- 2:31:26Speaker 10: like I care like my extracurricular outside. Like guys are
- 2:31:29Speaker 10: playing video games, they're investing in real estate, they're doing
- 2:31:31Speaker 10: all these other things. Mine's just where you can see
- 2:31:34Speaker 10: exactly what I'm doing and when I'm doing it. But
- 2:31:36Speaker 10: it's hard to portray that to the problem.
- 2:31:37Speaker 11: That's a really good point because I think, like you
- 2:31:39Speaker 11: said that Scripe skyscraper level becomes everybody. There's a there's
- 2:31:44Speaker 11: a microscope on everything you do. And then, as you mentioned,
- 2:31:47Speaker 11: like some guy's obsession maybe video games and that's fine,
- 2:31:50Speaker 11: like they play two K all day. Yeah, Like meanwhile,
- 2:31:53Speaker 11: you may be like for me, like I like business
- 2:31:55Speaker 11: that's my big thing. So I want to create real business,
- 2:31:58Speaker 11: real relationships. But also because it is what I was
- 2:32:01Speaker 11: trained to do. When I was young. My dad used
- 2:32:03Speaker 11: to always say, hey, create a business. We'd be in
- 2:32:05Speaker 11: the car. I'd be eight years old, Hey what's your business.
- 2:32:06Speaker 11: I did create this, and that was something that was
- 2:32:09Speaker 11: important to me in the relationship I had with my dad,
- 2:32:11Speaker 11: my mom and what I wanted to do, you know.
- 2:32:14Speaker 11: So it was always I was always using my imagination
- 2:32:16Speaker 11: in a different way. Another person may use their imagination
- 2:32:18Speaker 11: by by drawing whatever they get.
- 2:32:20Speaker 7: Some guys that like love art, whatever it may be.
- 2:32:22Speaker 11: And so like, we're still human and we're still you know,
- 2:32:26Speaker 11: we still have liked interest, you know, outside the game.
- 2:32:30Speaker 11: And like I said earlier, you know, the NFL stands
- 2:32:32Speaker 11: not for long. So when you go with that rookie
- 2:32:34Speaker 11: SYMPOSI in the first day, the guy walks on stage
- 2:32:36Speaker 11: and he's like, your first day, I'll never forget it.
- 2:32:38Speaker 11: He walks on stage. Is what does the NFL stand for?
- 2:32:40Speaker 11: Like National Football League? It's like no, And I'm like,
- 2:32:44Speaker 11: he's like, not for long, he said, start thinking about
- 2:32:46Speaker 11: plan B. Now that's when you're a rookie. But then
- 2:32:49Speaker 11: when you have success, nobody wants you to think about
- 2:32:53Speaker 11: plan B.
- 2:32:53Speaker 13: Isn't that crazy?
- 2:32:54Speaker 11: Which is interesting? Yeah, So like there's this dynamic of
- 2:32:58Speaker 11: the fear of okay, okay, well hopefully I make it.
- 2:33:01Speaker 11: I was a third round pick, third string quarterback coming
- 2:33:04Speaker 11: into training camp. I'm zoned in focused this and that.
- 2:33:07Speaker 11: But then at the same time, I have this love
- 2:33:09Speaker 11: for business. I was handing out business cards at NC State.
- 2:33:12Speaker 7: I had no business.
- 2:33:14Speaker 11: I love that I need a business card business, and
- 2:33:18Speaker 11: I was handing it out to people just so I
- 2:33:19Speaker 11: could get their emails.
- 2:33:20Speaker 7: Man, I iced to meet you boo.
- 2:33:21Speaker 11: And I just did that on my own creative thought
- 2:33:23Speaker 11: because I wanted to have relationships and emails and numbers
- 2:33:26Speaker 11: and people that I could stay in touch with when
- 2:33:28Speaker 11: when the game was over.
- 2:33:29Speaker 7: Right, But I was doing that. That wasn't new. I
- 2:33:32Speaker 7: was doing that.
- 2:33:32Speaker 11: Was a freshman in college and so like I also
- 2:33:37Speaker 11: remember too being a freshman in college at NC State,
- 2:33:39Speaker 11: and I always had my shirt tucked in. I used
- 2:33:41Speaker 11: to get made fun of it for it, and I'll
- 2:33:43Speaker 11: never forget. I remember JR. Sweezy being like, bro, I
- 2:33:46Speaker 11: appreciate you, Like huh. He was like, mat you always consistent.
- 2:33:49Speaker 11: You always had your shirt down, and he would always
- 2:33:50Speaker 11: tuck your shirt in. But like it was funny because
- 2:33:53Speaker 11: that small little detail you get made fun of because
- 2:33:55Speaker 11: you're trying to be professional and trying to be focused.
- 2:33:58Speaker 11: When I'm inside the white lines, when I'm inside the
- 2:34:00Speaker 11: weight room, when I'm inside the building, when i'm.
- 2:34:02Speaker 7: That's what I do.
- 2:34:05Speaker 11: Okay, Now somebody else, they do the same thing, but
- 2:34:08Speaker 11: they may want to do something else that their love is.
- 2:34:10Speaker 11: They may love, like I said earlier, maybe video games.
- 2:34:12Speaker 11: Mine was playing college baseball, Mine was doing whatever. And
- 2:34:16Speaker 11: so like we all these love and passions, but also
- 2:34:19Speaker 11: too from a sometimes even from a fan based standpoint
- 2:34:22Speaker 11: or a humanizing standpoint, people judge you because, oh, he
- 2:34:25Speaker 11: doesn't love the game.
- 2:34:26Speaker 7: But you're not there at far or four forty five
- 2:34:28Speaker 7: in the morning when I'm getting treatment.
- 2:34:29Speaker 13: Or right right, they will tell you about my.
- 2:34:32Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you're not there when it's hard and it's
- 2:34:35Speaker 11: you're getting treatment till one o'clock in the morning because
- 2:34:37Speaker 11: you got to be able to play for the next week.
- 2:34:38Speaker 11: Like that's that's the everyday piece of us. Right to
- 2:34:43Speaker 11: be successful, to be one of the one thousand, six
- 2:34:45Speaker 11: hundred and have very many players that there is right
- 2:34:48Speaker 11: and so I just think that that's it's a it's
- 2:34:50Speaker 11: an interesting dynamic, and I think obviously what you guys
- 2:34:52Speaker 11: have grass I was curious, like what you guys created,
- 2:34:54Speaker 11: the timing of what you did and the success that
- 2:34:57Speaker 11: you guys have had, and obviously seeing that with guys
- 2:34:59Speaker 11: like Pat mac if he's seen what you guys have done,
- 2:35:01Speaker 11: and that's you know, I think the opportunity to come
- 2:35:03Speaker 11: on the show with you guys, you know, and just
- 2:35:05Speaker 11: being on a show. I know you guys have talked
- 2:35:06Speaker 11: a little bit about me along the way.
- 2:35:09Speaker 2: I've taken a walk before you watch, I was talked
- 2:35:12Speaker 2: about watching a billion hours of film when you flew.
- 2:35:14Speaker 2: I think to Denver, is that.
- 2:35:15Speaker 7: What it was?
- 2:35:16Speaker 13: It was like hours of film?
- 2:35:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he said he watched every game eight thousand.
- 2:35:21Speaker 11: Come on, I know if I say I said eight thousand,
- 2:35:24Speaker 11: but I watched every game?
- 2:35:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, Yeah, I was jumping about that. He
- 2:35:32Speaker 2: came on, I've watched every bit of film, and I'm thinking,
- 2:35:36Speaker 2: come on, man, I will say this.
- 2:35:38Speaker 10: We have talked a little bit, We've used some Josh's
- 2:35:40Speaker 10: but it's big of you to come on and hang
- 2:35:42Speaker 10: out because.
- 2:35:43Speaker 11: I saw you guys the whole You're like, hey, would
- 2:35:45Speaker 11: you would you come on the shlf?
- 2:35:46Speaker 7: Like, yeah, you guys, I was with the boys. But no,
- 2:35:53Speaker 7: I think that, man, I just think that. No, I'm grateful.
- 2:35:56Speaker 7: I listen. I know what, when you, like I said,
- 2:36:00Speaker 7: when you play.
- 2:36:00Speaker 11: In the international football, you can get to do what
- 2:36:03Speaker 11: I've been fortunate to be able to do with the
- 2:36:05Speaker 11: amazing teammates, amazing people, amazing organizations and stuff. And you
- 2:36:10Speaker 11: you sometimes you have the crown on your head and
- 2:36:12Speaker 11: all that everybody wants to shoot at you.
- 2:36:14Speaker 7: That's that's just part of.
- 2:36:15Speaker 8: It, you know.
- 2:36:16Speaker 11: But the crown is heavy. But at the same time,
- 2:36:18Speaker 11: you know, I've also been to the tough place in
- 2:36:21Speaker 11: the valley and known that obstacle too, and climbing out
- 2:36:24Speaker 11: of that and like I said, being pushed up sometimes
- 2:36:26Speaker 11: and you know, having some help and like to me,
- 2:36:29Speaker 11: you know, I've always known there's gonna be critics, and
- 2:36:32Speaker 11: there's always gonna be stuff, and there's always gonna be
- 2:36:33Speaker 11: jokes and there's all and you.
- 2:36:34Speaker 7: Gotta have thick skin, man.
- 2:36:35Speaker 11: Like at the end of the day, Man, I get
- 2:36:37Speaker 11: the ball in my hands, I got to do it again,
- 2:36:39Speaker 11: and like all I want to do is win another
- 2:36:41Speaker 11: ring hopefully too.
- 2:36:42Speaker 7: And you know, like for me, it's just like that's
- 2:36:46Speaker 7: just what I love.
- 2:36:46Speaker 11: And and if I don't get to do it, you know,
- 2:36:49Speaker 11: win another super Bowl again, like you know what, Like
- 2:36:52Speaker 11: I know that I gave my all every day and
- 2:36:54Speaker 11: nobody I've ever played with can say that. Russell Wilson
- 2:36:56Speaker 11: didn't give us all like a period. And you love me,
- 2:37:00Speaker 11: hate me, don't like me. I don't care, it doesn't matter.
- 2:37:02Speaker 11: I love the game probably more than anybody else and
- 2:37:05Speaker 11: how I go about it, And so for me, it's
- 2:37:07Speaker 11: just being focused on the next moment, you know, being gratitude.
- 2:37:10Speaker 11: And that's with all the success. And that's also the
- 2:37:12Speaker 11: same same thought. You've had a little tough time and
- 2:37:15Speaker 11: little failure along the way, and is it really failure.
- 2:37:18Speaker 11: I just think it's lessons along the way and and
- 2:37:20Speaker 11: so man like, it's been good to be on Busting
- 2:37:22Speaker 11: with the boys, and it's good good to you know,
- 2:37:24Speaker 11: have a little fun on here.
- 2:37:25Speaker 13: And official friend with the Show, Official friend of the show.
- 2:37:29Speaker 2: Appreciate. What do you what do you see now? What's
- 2:37:32Speaker 2: the feeling in your body when you watch the dangerous
- 2:37:36Speaker 2: a subway sandwich commercial. Man.
- 2:37:38Speaker 11: Like, the funny thing is that commercial was out for
- 2:37:40Speaker 11: a little bit and it wasn't anything.
- 2:37:43Speaker 8: You know.
- 2:37:43Speaker 7: Like the funny thing is is that, like that commercial was.
- 2:37:46Speaker 11: Out I don't know how long, probably several months, you know,
- 2:37:49Speaker 11: maybe even before it started off. But I didn't have
- 2:37:52Speaker 11: social media at the time. So like my first year
- 2:37:54Speaker 11: and dimmer, I'm playing this torn light like I said,
- 2:37:56Speaker 11: and I wasn't even seeing this stuff. So like I
- 2:37:58Speaker 11: never the less ride. You seen the less right, but
- 2:38:07Speaker 11: I wasn't seen on social media. I wasn't on social
- 2:38:10Speaker 11: media for like ninety percent of the year, eighty percent
- 2:38:13Speaker 11: of the year, so I wasn't seeing that part of it.
- 2:38:15Speaker 11: So what's funny is is that like I got to
- 2:38:18Speaker 11: the end of the season, the season's over this and
- 2:38:20Speaker 11: that like probably two weeks later after the season, you
- 2:38:23Speaker 11: know whatever, I'm like by myself and I think I'm
- 2:38:26Speaker 11: seas with me or whatever, and I'm like, I like
- 2:38:27Speaker 11: down on Twitter again whatever, and I like see all
- 2:38:30Speaker 11: this stuff and I'm like, oh, that's what people were saying. Yeah,
- 2:38:35Speaker 11: all right, Like and so like what's just crazy because
- 2:38:38Speaker 11: like you just you know what, like.
- 2:38:42Speaker 7: You know, you gotta you gotta be able to just
- 2:38:44Speaker 7: be like whatever like.
- 2:38:46Speaker 11: And I think part of it is that I've been fortunate,
- 2:38:49Speaker 11: like I said, I've been very very blessed be around
- 2:38:51Speaker 11: so many great teammates, so many great people, so many
- 2:38:53Speaker 11: great coaches and things too.
- 2:38:54Speaker 7: Along the way in organization.
- 2:38:56Speaker 11: But you know, I go back to my time in
- 2:38:57Speaker 11: Seattle and we've you know, been up here, and then
- 2:39:00Speaker 11: it doesn't go that way.
- 2:39:02Speaker 7: It's like, ah god, you know, it's like.
- 2:39:04Speaker 11: It's okay, I'm gonna come, I'm gonna show up again.
- 2:39:07Speaker 11: And it maybe in like I think that part of it,
- 2:39:10Speaker 11: like I said, sixteen round fight ten, eleven of them
- 2:39:13Speaker 11: have been great. Okay, maybe the past couple haven't been
- 2:39:15Speaker 11: as grades I want him to be. But doesn't mean
- 2:39:16Speaker 11: I won't win fifteen and sixteen. And I'll bet on
- 2:39:18Speaker 11: myself every day just because of the work ethic and
- 2:39:21Speaker 11: the mentality. And you can't make me waiver. Like like
- 2:39:23Speaker 11: I said, my love for the game is unconditional. It's unconditional,
- 2:39:28Speaker 11: and that doesn't change.
- 2:39:29Speaker 7: Like and so h we'll strap.
- 2:39:31Speaker 11: It up, we'll blow's will blow again, and we'll go
- 2:39:34Speaker 11: and we'll see what happens.
- 2:39:35Speaker 2: Do you see, do you understand why it's hard to
- 2:39:37Speaker 2: do thirty minutes? Tough? It's tough to do thirty minutes.
- 2:39:41Speaker 7: We got, we got the heat, we got the con
- 2:39:43Speaker 7: asking the bud like question.
- 2:39:44Speaker 2: I like question, you know if people do anything anything anybody?
- 2:39:48Speaker 2: People would do anything for an ice cold bud light?
- 2:39:50Speaker 2: What would Russell Wilson do anything for?
- 2:39:52Speaker 13: Can't say family?
- 2:39:54Speaker 1: What?
- 2:39:54Speaker 8: Wait?
- 2:39:55Speaker 7: So who would I do anything for? What would I do?
- 2:39:57Speaker 9: It?
- 2:39:57Speaker 2: Can be anything? What would you do anything for?
- 2:39:59Speaker 11: I can't say kids, anything for like anything like anything?
- 2:40:04Speaker 2: Would do anything for?
- 2:40:06Speaker 7: Mmmm?
- 2:40:09Speaker 11: I don't know, man, I think I would say I
- 2:40:11Speaker 11: would do anything to sit with my dad again.
- 2:40:15Speaker 7: My dad is no longer.
- 2:40:16Speaker 2: Living like in a row. Ahead, go and keep going
- 2:40:22Speaker 2: to me.
- 2:40:22Speaker 11: That would be like the one thing that I would
- 2:40:24Speaker 11: do anything for, like for for my kids, for see,
- 2:40:28Speaker 11: but my kids to see my dad again, to see
- 2:40:31Speaker 11: like they never saw him, but to see him like
- 2:40:33Speaker 11: but for me to sit down and talk to him again,
- 2:40:37Speaker 11: you know, like to go through the great moments but
- 2:40:40Speaker 11: also talk about the tough moments. I know he's been
- 2:40:42Speaker 11: watching them all from from up above, But like, what
- 2:40:45Speaker 11: was your perspective that what would you do different? What
- 2:40:47Speaker 11: would you tell me, Like what would you pat me
- 2:40:49Speaker 11: on the back and say.
- 2:40:50Speaker 7: You did great?
- 2:40:50Speaker 11: You know, like like to that to me would be
- 2:40:53Speaker 11: like the one thing that if I had anything to
- 2:40:56Speaker 11: ask for again, would be that.
- 2:40:57Speaker 10: Bo Jackson said something very so he said his mom
- 2:41:00Speaker 10: and it's just admitute both of you said it. It's
- 2:41:03Speaker 10: like you kind of want to cry.
- 2:41:04Speaker 2: Yeah, because I lost my mom a couple of years ago.
- 2:41:06Speaker 2: So when Bo came out of left field, because he
- 2:41:08Speaker 2: had a big pause when he said it, and he's
- 2:41:10Speaker 2: like sit with my mom again, and you saying it
- 2:41:12Speaker 2: about your dad, like knowing your story about you know
- 2:41:14Speaker 2: when that happened. Yeah, I love the answer.
- 2:41:18Speaker 7: We all go through stuff.
- 2:41:19Speaker 11: Yeah, life is challenging, but it's about the people who
- 2:41:22Speaker 11: were around. It's about the people that have influenced us.
- 2:41:24Speaker 11: It's a people of the people that also hurt us
- 2:41:26Speaker 11: along the way that we got to just like forgive too,
- 2:41:29Speaker 11: and like you know, like that was a lesson. Maybe
- 2:41:32Speaker 11: God gave us that tough stuff so that way we
- 2:41:34Speaker 11: can also improve for somebody else down the road. And
- 2:41:37Speaker 11: all the things that we go through, right, and it's like, man,
- 2:41:39Speaker 11: like I just wish I could be with my dad again.
- 2:41:41Speaker 11: There's a great Luther Vandrous song like with my father,
- 2:41:44Speaker 11: and he's like, like, I could spend time my father
- 2:41:46Speaker 11: again whatever. So like I think about that song all
- 2:41:48Speaker 11: the time.
- 2:41:48Speaker 7: You know. But yeah, so that would be the one
- 2:41:52Speaker 7: thing that's beautiful.
- 2:41:54Speaker 10: Man.
