  Speaker 2: The one that matters to me and boys, can you
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: just said you're going to bring it up during the pod? Oh?
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: But the one that was the most the most like,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the most popular. This one's from pet Owner two to
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: one five on YouTube. Can we get a segment where
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the boys twice a year get a light detector test
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: on the show and can at and can ask each
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: other questions about things that happened during the year, real
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: questions to see if they actually support or believe in
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: their teams at different times throughout the season. Want to
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: see if the boys are for the boys, or if
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: some beefs aren't settled. Ask Josh Pate who he secretly
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: roots for. Ask Clay if he thinks he's the best
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: talent on the pod, et cetera. I think it's a
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: brilliant idea. Whatever the consistency is, I think it needs
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to be like throughout obviously football season. You do with Delaney,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you do with Clay, you do with Peate, obviously us.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: But I think that's a I think that's a banger idea.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Who do you think would be the biggest liar? Park Clay, Taylor?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Taylor would be the liar. Clay would be a liar.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Hold on, I didn't have next person. We're just having
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: fun show. This is a show. We're having fun. Let's
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: have fun. Ex funny our answer, I don't he answer.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I need more time to think about it. Okay, but
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: just Taylor, Yeah, like you're asking questions, just get just
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: get you, just get you going, get you going, get
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: you going, and boom got him, just like you guys
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: would do with me. That's the fun. The brilliance of
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the segment.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I will never lie on that, you will never catch
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: me to lie on that, clean take, clean take ever.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And the fact that my supposed best friends like, oh
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: my best my best friend's a liar on a time
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: out of time out time. You know what I think
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: would be awesome is I'm a guy that when I
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: hear a good idea, I want to do it all
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the time. I think we have to just way more
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: than twice. Yes, be like a once a month, just
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: gp I have to.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I can't. I can't let us go away from what
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: you're just saying. I just need you to know, buddy,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a man about it. I'm gonna take that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna bundle it up.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my back pocket and I'm gonna unleash
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it on some person that has no idea what's going on.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: This guy's so mad. I see, I see you bottled
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: it up in a different don't like that. I was
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: trying to express the light. The light is the fun light. Okay,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: show me the fun light of how Taylor is a liar.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: We won't know until we get into the season, right,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: but listen, we're trying to keep the vibe. See this
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: episode thirty seven, the vibe guys to subscribe. I'm not
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: trying to argue my boy, but if someone asked a question, Hey, suirre,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: who do you think the liar is out of these guys,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and someone goes, I.
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: Would say, hey, clean take, I don't think there's a
• 11:25
  Speaker 11: liar amongst us, because that was a clean take earlier.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Wow, clean take, that's a clean take.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Now ask me, ask me. I'll be Will surem asked me.
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: I'll be well, oh okay, uh clean take. Do you
• 11:41
  Speaker 11: think anybody on this bus is a liar?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Taylor? See how that feels? Well, how did
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: he get there? What do you got? I'm taking a
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: note right now, don't ever joke about Taylor being a liar.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just shotting that. Okay, yeah, we have
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: fear joke. We don't want to have fun. Okay, we don't
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: want to have fun.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: That's a great pivot to make everybody a little more
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: uncomful than the Discover already feeling rare.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: We got there.
• 12:07
  Speaker 11: A real fun way that we could implement the lie
• 12:10
  Speaker 11: detector test is when y'all do y'all's predictions for Nebraska
• 12:14
  Speaker 11: and Michigan for this upcoming season. That could be like
• 12:17
  Speaker 11: a nice set.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: That could be fun.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: That would be a fun that'd be a taste test
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that could be a fun one that could be fun.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: That's a clean take, because it's sorry to get through
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: my I think we just need to scrap the lins.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I think seem like it's gonna be.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: A point to prove now Taylor cheats, Taylor lies Like
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I had to get these things off I mean the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: only way to do that is with a line detector test.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: So strap me down. Yeah, this is true?
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Right, what's the next callback?
• 12:47

• 12:49

  Speaker 1: Kobe Marvel? Oh, Kobe Marvel for seven and one? So
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for showing love and support to
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: West Texas and Texas Tech football program. TTU athletics revolves
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: around a very connected and hard working community of people.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: The character and work ethic of West Texas is unmatched.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that the nation will get to experience rack them,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: followed by a comment by CBR on the score nine
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: two nine five. A lot of places are like that.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: You're not special, clean, fun seeing, just hard to have
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: vibes in this bus today.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech fans, Baylor fans, like TCU fans chime in
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: like when we're dropping stuff. Remember when the backers were
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: talking to us about the horse and they were explaining,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: they were explaining that the horses ass faced Baylor and
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: they're breaking it down to me. But seeing those fan
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: bases just go back and forth about oh, when'd you
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: guys become a rival? Had a good time reading those comments.
• 13:50
  Speaker 11: And I think it's the literal interpretation of the horses
• 13:54
  Speaker 11: ass facing Waco when Baylor plays Texas Tech. That's called
• 13:58
  Speaker 11: the butt boll b U versus t T the butt ball.
• 14:03
  Speaker 11: So it's a literal interpretation of the butt ball. So
• 14:06
  Speaker 11: he's got a lot of layers, a lot of.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Layers, a lot of depth, yeah, a lot of peeling
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: back the onion.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. Terror Massou has layers seven
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: layer dip has layers.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Seven layer dip as well. I was trying to think
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: of my head.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I was like, buddy, you go to you a nice
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: summer cookout right there, and you see that in the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: plastic and usually have to look at it right before
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: everyone digs in. Incredible seven layer dip rips. Clean take right,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: shoutout Kevin's as fruits.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Uh, this one comes from Chase Daniel. Chase Daniel says,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: is Roy on the goat path?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I think I am the guy who can answer that.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Possibly, Okay, tell me what needs to happen for him
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to become on the actual path.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Has anyone won back to back to back?
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: Yes, is that?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Who is that? Arnold Palmer?
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: No, No one's won back to back to back at
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: the Masters.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So if he does that, would he be the goat?
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: No?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, Mitch is a golf look look, look, hand up,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: sue me, not a golf sicco. But you said you
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: can answer that, Yeah, I can possibly.
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, then fallow up with a question, right if he
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: seems pretty good? It seems like people like, I think
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: he's good. Yeah, I think already. I think he's a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: great golfer. Yeah. I was looking at my timeline here,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: so people seem to uh uh be upset that he
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: got some favorable things that went his way. I saw that.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Can you expand on a little bit for the audience.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I will do my best. It seemed like the course
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: was softer on the first couple of days and they
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: firmed it up for Rory. Maybe I don't know. I
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: have no clue. That's where I'm out of my that's
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: out of my jurisdic right, So okay, not the person
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: that can answer that question, not that one. But maybe
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: chef can answer that question his hands raised, I can
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: answer that question. So on a Thursday Friday, the the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: conditions were a little softer, and that plays into basically
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: when you tea off. So if you tee off in
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the morning, the maintenance screwl usually water the greens and stuff,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: so you're expecting a little bit of softer, more wet conditions.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Whereas if you have a late tea off where you're
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: going into the back of the afternoon, the greens firm up,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: sun starts killing and it can you know, you're playing
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: basically a different course. So usually Augusta is really good
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: about keeping the course pretty similar throughout the week. And
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: then there's been a lot of complaints about this week.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: They've been going through a drought, so a lot more
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: emphasis on like how they prep the course, and a
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: lot of people are upset because Rory teed off late
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: on Thursday and then Friday day softened it up. Yeah,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: that's right, and I think he went at a favorable time.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Sounds right for the early tea time, and a.
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: Lot of live guys, a lot of live guys had
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: some non favorable tea times. People are just kind of
• 16:53
  Speaker 11: putting those two and two together. A lot of live
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: guys the good favorable tea times. Masters has always kind
• 16:59
  Speaker 11: of had had a take on the live stuff versus PGA.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: The game within the game within the game, high level
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: stuff going on right there.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Damn, that's great. Damn so so so, Chef, where are
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: you at? You're you're a golfer strongly said, no, he's
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: not on the path, Chef, So just preface that I
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: am a Rory hater. Yesterday was a bad day for me.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yesterday was a hard day after the first one last
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: year that was tough, but you're like, okay, he finally
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: got the Grand Slam and then last year, uh, going
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: in that second nine, which I got corrected on. There
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: were seven guys that could have taken it yesterday and
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: it just felt like everyone the uh, the belt tightened
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: around the neck, so to speak, as they say, and
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Rory just kept on pace. No one really gave him
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: a good challenge, Scott. He missed a couple of putts.
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: Rory is gonna go down as one of the better
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: golfers of all time in terms of goat. I think
• 17:55
  Speaker 12: it's gonna take a lot more. He has six majors.
• 17:58
  Speaker 12: You really need to get above like eight to nine
• 18:00
  Speaker 12: where you get in that kind of stratosphere. Level with
• 18:02
  Speaker 12: Nicholas Tiger and some of those cats, Hogan. But for
• 18:08
  Speaker 12: the moment, if he wins three in a row with
• 18:10
  Speaker 12: the Masters, that will change things, and that says a
• 18:12
  Speaker 12: Rory Hayter, that will be something unprecedented and it would
• 18:16
  Speaker 12: be very hard to deny, even for someone that dislikes
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: Rory McRoy.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: A lot a lot of people dislike Rory because he's
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: kind of an arrogant prick yep yep, So like people
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: don't really like him because he kind of carries himself
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: a certain kind of way. But like he he was
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: one of the ones that was very like anti live
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: golf and very pro PGA, which you can understand and
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: like respect, but he just has this like arrogance and
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: around him and like a lot of another reason why
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: people really pissed off is because he was able to
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: play Augusta for like two or three weeks before the Masters,
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: and people were saying that he was kind of getting
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: like special treatment being able to do that, because not
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: everybody is able to do that like he is. Golf's
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: like I don't know how you would describe it. Yeah,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: he's like the golden child of the PGA golfs and
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: he was kind of given special treatment, so therefore he
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: had more practice on like new and practice all of
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: these crazy different shots which then helped then ended up helping.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Him or all of the other because I saw that too,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: because people are like, oh I did I I never
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: understood why people didn't like Rory, but now I can
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: kind of get it. And it's him talking about being
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: able to play a couple weeks earlier. But I'm thinking, like,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: wouldn't you want to do that?
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Like, would you want to if you have the access
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to practice, you probably would.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Playing these other terms because he's preparing for the biggest one,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: so he's like, the better use of my time is
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: going up and preparing for the Masters or preparing for Augusta.
• 19:37
  Speaker 12: So to answer that, in order to play Augusta, you
• 19:40
  Speaker 12: I believe if you're a champion, you have a year
• 19:42
  Speaker 12: where you can go play it. That might be wrong,
• 19:44
  Speaker 12: but you have to play with a member. It's a
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: very exclusive club. Getting a membership invite is second to impossible.
• 19:50
  Speaker 12: You kind of just have to. I mean, there's only
• 19:52
  Speaker 12: a couple hundred in the world. So basically, no matter what,
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: even if you're a past champion, if you want to
• 19:57
  Speaker 12: go play, you have to go play with a member,
• 19:59
  Speaker 12: so a lot of players don't have that access to Augusta,
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: which is why people are getting mad. Also, there were
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: three tournaments, you know, coming up to Augusta, all in Texas,
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: and he basically said, why play those when I can
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: just go fly to Augusta, And people were pissed because
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: a lot of players just don't have that access at all.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: He's basically saying, I'm better than those three tournaments, so
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: they don't. I don't want to waste my time.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: But the question if he is we're talking about possibly
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: be in the goat positions, which means he's had a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: lot of success.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: And just playing the other side of the we're just
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: playing on.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: The other side of the argument because I'm not listen.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: know the answers to all these things.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: I was.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not a golf guy.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: But if this guy has had this much success and
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: he's made enough money, Toria has the ability to not
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: only be a great girl dad dropping his kid off
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: at school and then getting on a jet and going
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to Augusta and playing and coming back like I feel
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: like he's earned that ability to do that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 12: Now, I'm not against the whole like going to play
• 20:49
  Speaker 12: practice rounds there, Like at the end of the day,
• 20:51
  Speaker 12: if you had the opportunity, you probably should. I think
• 20:53
  Speaker 12: a lot of players would, and I'm sure there's past
• 20:55
  Speaker 12: champions I've done that. It's kind of the way he
• 20:57
  Speaker 12: put it all about, like getting on the private jet.
• 21:00
  Speaker 12: And this goes back into like Rory's last you know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 12: his whole career, He's kind of had this big like
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: kind of you know, uh I hate Saint Snoody or
• 21:09
  Speaker 12: like high nose kind of yeah, kind of look about golf.
• 21:13
  Speaker 12: And so when you throw it on there, like just
• 21:15
  Speaker 12: the way he's like, yeah, I just dropped my daughter
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: off and then get on my G six fifty and
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: fly to Augusta for a day trip via a flyhouse
• 21:21
  Speaker 12: jack Justin Rose is the flyhouse guy. We love Justin Rose.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: We love Justin Rose.
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: But yeah, that just kind of compounds. But I'm not
• 21:32
  Speaker 12: mad at the whole, like go play practice rounds, Like
• 21:34
  Speaker 12: if you have a chance to play Augusta, like do it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 12: But it just kind of adds in.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: You're kind of like, if you already have this feeling
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: about him, if you're seeing that, You're like, oh, that's
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: not fair.
• 21:45
  Speaker 12: We got to get you guys watching the Ryder Cup,
• 21:46
  Speaker 12: because you, guys, he's a he's a European and you
• 21:50
  Speaker 12: will start hating Europeans if you get into the Ryder Cup.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Is America versus Europe or the.
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: World Europe we play the Presidents Cup, which is the
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: rest of the world instead of Europe.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: He's nowhere near the goat conversation because he is like Chef.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: I think Chef said six majors like Jack, Nicholas and
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Tiger are in like the fourteen fifteen, sixteen range. Yeah,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: so he's got a long, long way to get He's like,
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, He's like, he's like top ten
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: golfer of all time, but nowhere near the goat.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: This is European golfer of all time.
• 22:20
  Speaker 12: Uh, Sir Nick Faldo would be it's either him one
• 22:24
  Speaker 12: of those too.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: He's the goat.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Somewhere, he's the goat somewhere in some land he is
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the goat.
• 22:30
  Speaker 10: But he doesn't under the Irish flag, which also bothers me.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: That is something I would piss me off. Yeah, I'm
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a big I'm strong on the fact that if you're
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: from somewhere, you should be proud of where you're from.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Wait, what's the story on that, like Ireland rather than
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: just Ireland.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know now, hey listen, but I will say this,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of different pockets in that area of like.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: London, Wales.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: This that like there's a everyone's kind of got a
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: little sliver of something where they're not claiming a specific flaw.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: They're more claiming like a little area that happens to
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: be like a province of that spot.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Very weird. I don't know a whole lot about it
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: in ecosystem where it's like I'm not yeah, I'm not
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: claim claiming right, So non Iland.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: I think he's from Northern Island.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: About Vikings, we're talking about Yeah, mob stuff, Yeah, mob stuff.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe a little earlier than that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, al capone, we're just talking about stuff, yeah yeah.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Territories, Yeah, territories.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I got a question for the entire group. If someone
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: is in a goat category or a generational talent, or
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: has had an enormous amount of success on whatever field, pitch,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: whatever we're talking about, and they have issues off the field,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: do you think that should take away from their greatness
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that they've achieved on the field. No, not some tweeting anybody.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: The person that we brought up a lot if you
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: goat status is Tiger Woods. Tiger's obviously been in the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: news quite a bit for like the Duys, like he's
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: kind of trending towards that great golfer guy. I think
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are getting to but does the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: bad guy portion take away from the bad golfer? And
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: this goes for Brett Farb is another one, right, been
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: in the headlines a little bit in the past, great
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: football player kind of getting towards it. We're just I mean,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, right.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, right.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: Let's leave Michael Vick out of this, all right.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: He's that's that's a great example though, because Michael Vick
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: had the thing that happened and then he went to
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: prison and then he got.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: Out of never had any of the fights, all right.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: But people are like, hey, we still love Michael Vick, right, Okay,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: so he served his time.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: He's good. I think, like you still acknowledge the performance
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: like that is one of the greatest to ever do it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: But you're just you're probably just more inclined to say
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: who the better guy was, Like the better dude that
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: has it all encompassing. That's right there. They're in the
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: same tier. Who's it with Tiger Woods, Jack.
• 24:55
  Speaker 12: Nicholas Nicholas, Arnold Palmer, there's a guy touch and Ty.
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: What's unique with Tiger though, is generation is all this
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: stuff kind of happened, Like he achieved everything in golf
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: before he started going off the rails. And I feel
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: like that kind of plays into the fans psyche of
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: like it's two different Tigers. Tiger the golfer existed up
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: until two thousand and fifteen or whatever.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and now Tiger.
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: The man who's going through a whole bunch of stuff
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: exists now, so it's like easier to compartmentalize his.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: But you'd still look at it Tiger and be like, yeah,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: goat status.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And before he fell off, like he was just
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: well on his way to being the greatest, he was
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: gonna be on touch on right.
• 25:32
  Speaker 12: Up until two thousand and eight when he had his
• 25:34
  Speaker 12: like third spinal fusion surgery. Tiger Woods was the greatest golfer,
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: the greatest run ever. He's the only golfer to win
• 25:40
  Speaker 12: all four majors in a consecutive year span, so he
• 25:44
  Speaker 12: won all four in a row that will never be
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: done again. He has eighty two wins on the tour,
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: just under Nicholas, but he also plays in a time
• 25:52
  Speaker 12: where golf's a little more competitive. But yeah, I mean
• 25:55
  Speaker 12: he's the best ever.
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: Dude.
• 25:56
  Speaker 12: Then came back and did it in twenty nineteen with
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: the Masters off of like we're back surgeries and everyone
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: count them out, Like people were saying, don't even get
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: on the course anymore.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the lore, Yes, it's a golf pod right now,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: so we kind of feel like we're separating on the
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: field versus off the field. I love that. Is there
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: an example that you were thinking of?
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: No, Tiger kind of was the example because he was
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: brought up a handful of times. And I know that
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: people love to hate on the individual as opposed to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the athlete. I feel like it's like hate as much
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: as you want on what they do in their own
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: personal life. That's like we would all kind of look
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: at me, like you probably shouldn't do that. But from
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: an athletics standpoint, what you've achieved, it's like it's hard
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: to take away those things.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and the individuals.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Conor McGregor is another one, a guy that was on
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: top of the world right until like what fourteen, and
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: then he's kind of like made a lot of money's
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: at a couple run ins.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: But you're like, it's I.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Think it's perfect for a Tiger and him is like
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Connor who we saw in the octagon then and they're

• 29:33
  Speaker 2: crowd of like two hundred to two hundred and fifty
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: people yeah. Around there in that team room, that's a
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: first form. They were just filled in there. They were
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: sold out, and it's basically what I like gathered. It
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: was like all the people that were talking, like there's
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: the networks that they have going on to where people
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: were able to access of like high level thinkers, high
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: level achievers that are just like joining and coming to
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: listen everything talk to people. They had to set up
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: in the locker room where we had a name tag
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: we had or locker decked out. He'd come through for
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: like a fan meet and greet, and you got to
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: engage with everybody that came. It was awesome, dude, It
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: was a lot of fun. How long did you speak for?
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Thirty minutes? Thirty minutes? So yeah, yeah.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: At what point did the nerves kind of shake away?
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say the nerves. There were moments where I'm
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: like flowing and on, but then there are spots where
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, I see people they'll have like
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: the iPad or they had like a board going on,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: so they have like their PowerPoint things kind of going through.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't have none of that, So I was like thinking,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: like as people are going I was like shit, I
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: should have like sent them in something so at least
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I would have what's on my notes app like sitting
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: in front of me. So I'm trying to like remember
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: everything that I had to remember the flow and everything else.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Like there was like one point towards the end where
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I kind of stopped. I'm like, I kind of forget
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: where I was gonna go next year, and then figured
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: it out on the way through. But it was fun, man.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: It was a cool experience, was real. And then they
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: sit down with Ben and Sal that was about thirty
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: minutes long, and they're you know, they're busting my balls
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: for all the things you would love them busting my
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: balls for not responding, like texting back. I had one
• 31:01

• 31:04
  Speaker 2: an eight minute answer and Ben was busting my balls
• 31:07

  Speaker 7: I I didn't.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Wish I would have that sucked. I did wish I

  Speaker 2: Ben wanted me to introduce him, and I'm like, how
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: do I introduce Like Ray Lewis the way he's like
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: impacted my life, like as a linebacker, and so I
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: talked about all these different things and what he's done.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Like you guys know about the seventeen years and thirteen
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Pro Bowls, ten all Prolls, all this stuff, and Ray's
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: about legacy. He's about he talks. You see him everywhere.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: All the content he has, I've consumed. But the biggest
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: thing that stands out to me, and knowing what he
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: cares about the most, it's impact. And then I looked
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: directly at him and basically told him how much he
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: affected my life as a linebacker. Did you get teared up? No,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I was just juice. Did I get teared up?
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: No?
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: But when Ben gave you back that game ball?
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Ben gifted me back a game ball that I
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: gave him. It was my very first game ball that
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I gifted Ben when I was in Washington. It was
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: that you liked that game. I had gotten a game
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: ball from it, and I gifted it to Ben, like
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I basically like I got he He was coming out

• 33:02
  Speaker 2: key or you here? Like? Can I get in your

• 37:36
  Speaker 1: you just hear the heels. You know it's a woman walking.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, god damn I literally, oh god damn it.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I know, man, this is before we even see her.

  Speaker 1: He told me, like fuck me as if this is
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: your last night on this or like all those things.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, that part, those little snippets are true. However, like,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: well he looks from the eyes and says, I'm just
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: a whore, and it's like, bro, he really loved you,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I know, really fucking loved you.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: But the red wedding dude.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, But also no, no, no, I will talk about.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I wanted to just ask the question, is Joffrey just
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: not one of the greatest villains? Yeah, he's in time
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: and by how much you hate him.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: And to go off of like what people do on
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the field as like like from him from a cinema
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: standpoint to what he's done now, Like he was so
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: hated and he was so good at being a villain
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: that I don't know if it was he couldn't get
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: work or he was just like type cast.
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: He had typecast so they didn't hire it.
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: I think he just got his first acting job since
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: Game of Thrones last year.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Dude, because you want the acting is so good. He
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: does such an amazing job.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I psych he was like that, like he was so
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: great at hating him. I didn't want him, yes, that
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't want his character to have any more career success.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I just think about doing those dialogues and from of
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: all those people and being as sinister as he was
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: just crazy fun. When Rob Stark obviously gets killed in
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: the Red Wedding and they find out via like this
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: this one of a raven and he's like, I want
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: to serve Rob Stark's head to who's the who's the
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: sonsa to Sonza, and I was thinking to myself, this
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: motherfucker just won't stop, like sons has clearly been in
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: the need of you. She says all the right things
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: like she you know she's in hell, and you still
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: want to fucking do this. And then I'm going a
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: little bit of on on uh, Geoffrey. But when little
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Finger says that he had a bad investment to somebody's like,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: when somebody's a bad investment to me, I get rid
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: of him. I find somebody that want to try new things.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: And then that red hair chick that came from the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: North goes down to King's Landing and it just shows
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: her essentially crucified on his bed with an arrow, and
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: he's just sitting there.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: You're like, this, little motherfucker, dude, what are your thoughts
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: on little foot? Little finger? Little finger?
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: Right now?
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: So so where a little first off.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Is awesome, little Finger right now hated him when he
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: basically turned on on Ned Stark, But I love kind
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: of we were talking about on the bus is the
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: manipulation game, JP of, just like this dude really like
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: clearly not a good person, but his ability to manipulate
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the system is like, Oh, this dude's really playing a
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: different level of chess. So right now where he's at
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: is at the same spot where Ned Stark's wife's sisters at.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Where they have that big hole, the veil.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: They're at the veil, and he is now set to
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: marry herries and become the king of that place. He
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: saves Sonza, kills that drunk fool that saved like got
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Soanza out of there, which I think smart guys are drunk,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: and brings her over. I don't know what's gonna happen
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: with that right now, little fingers kind of I'm kind
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: of messed with him, but I think he's gonna he's
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: He clearly does a love this woman at the veil,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: clearly does. He seems like more of like an asexual cat,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Like he's not really interested in making love. He's more
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: interested he's interested in the throne. Same with the dude,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: not the unsolely but he's like the chubbier guy, mister
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: clean looking guy. When him and Oberon, Oberon were sitting
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: there and they're like, he's like, uh, I know you
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: were into boys before you're you know, your genital's got
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: taken away from you. And he's like no, He's like women,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I would have been surprised.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: He's like neither.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: And he's like, well, you don't have desires, you have
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: better focus, Like what do you focus on me? He
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: just looks over at the throne and that's the end
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: of the scene, and it's like, bro, everybody wants this motherfucker.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Cleese's over there just taking over.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Things and takes tough down, takes this kingdom down, that
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: came down, gets to the third Kingdom where everybody's hung
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: up on the post and they've been all crucified.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: They've taken over.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: She's about to set sail to go across the Narrow Sea,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: realizes the two she took over are now taken over
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: by worse people. She's like, oh, I legit have to
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: like reign this area right now. I have to be
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: like queen for a little bit to like settle this area.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: And they sure there's no Tom foolery taking place with
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: the slaves, so all like it is as advertised, it
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: is as advertised now the Red wedding. Clearly, I was
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: like familiar with the Red wedding. You've brought it up
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: a bunch like people like will just talk about like
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: crazy shit happens. I was like red wedding, right, and
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: then you kind of like stit back and you kind
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: of like smile and laugh and be like yeah, but
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: you don't really know. We did the pink wedding. At
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Surviving barstool, everyone's talking about the red wedding. It's called
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the Pink Wedding. There's gonna be a lot of kills today,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: so you understand like something bad is going to happen.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: And when Rob Stark dips on old buddy to marry
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: the girl and they go back and just the way
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the king that like hey he's at the coldest s yeah,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: and he's like brings the girl up that Rob Stark Mary,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: and he's like just says some real inappropriate shit in
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: front of everybody, but then he's like, let's go have
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: a great time. It's like, you know that's not okay.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: But the weird thing that threw me off the most
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: was I know there's a red wedding. I know what
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: happens in the middle of these seasons based on what
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: everybody said. But there was Tyron his wedding taking place
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: in King's Landing and this other wedding taking place. So
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking maybe the red wedding is like people just
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: get murdered at both and I'm just not knowing, but
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: watching the wedding go down, Buddy's Rob Stark's uncle is
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: happy because he's got an attractive woman. Everything seems all good.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: They were getting drunk and having a good time, and
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: then they.
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: Was it.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: The mom ned.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Stark's wife walks over the doors and closes the doors
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: and the music changes, which I later find out is
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: the land Yeah, which is the landis stores like theme song?
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: So she turns around and you see the nervousness on
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: her face and I'm like, oh shit, stuff's about to
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: go down. So she walks over to another guy. I
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: think he's a Barathian, Bruce Bolton. Bruce Bolton walks in.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: By the way, his son with Leon Gray Joys is nuts.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Kind of don't fuck with the on though, so I'm
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: kind of standing back on whatever when she pulls that
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: sleeve back and sees chainmail and slaps him. I still
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: don't know what's about to go down, and then it
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: just chaos ensus and the fact that Aria gets there
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: with the hound at the same time as ship's going down,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: and the hounds like, we got to get out of
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: here because low Ki I mess with the hound like
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: bad guy, good character arc taking place right now.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wins on the field, wins on the field,
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: wins on the field.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: He wins in the field. He's got one of the
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: hardest quotes of the entire show. I'm not gonna say
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: it on this because it's a it's a little too
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: tvm A, but he's got a hard ass quote when
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: there's when they're trying that when he's still a part
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: of the King's Guard and Jeoffrey the Aria. Her last
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: little part, the last thing I've seen with Ario was
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: she was going to sleep and she's saying all the
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: names of the men she's going to kill, and the
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Hound's like, why what are you doing? She said, I
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: can't go to sleep until I say them all And
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: they basically have a little the baker back and forth
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: for a little bit and he's like, well, finish your list.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: He goes it's almost done. I have one more. As
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: he rolls over and says the hound, I'm like, oh
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: my god, because a piece of me has Stockholm syndrome
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: four aria. It's like, yo, this guy's kind of helping
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: you out quite a bit. Got your sword back, your
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: little toothpick sword, You've gotten killed those guys moving off
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: from this, He's helping you get to wherever you need
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: to go, and yet you're still thinking to yourself, this
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: motherfucker has to die. But the last thing I saw
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, was Tyrian saying he wants to confess
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: not to murdering Jeffrey, but for being an imp all
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: the things, like he goes off on everybody's I wish
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: he had poisoned all of you. I wish I could
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: take pride in the fact that Jeffrey I killed Geoffrey,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: but I didn't kill Jeoffrey. And the only way for
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: me to get anything done here is I want to
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: trial by battle or whatever it's called. And that's when
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: the episode ends. But you try to go to sleep
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: after that hard living. But That's where I'm at in
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: the show, right That's my breakdown. Shout out Barry underscore mcauchanner.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: That's unbelievable, right, it's unreal. And I think I have
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: an idea of what goes down in the battle, but
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: you know, we don't have to talk about a show.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Did you have a massive wow surprise factor when the
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Red Wedding Red Wedding took place?
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: No, I think I think that's a product of just
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: years of it, knowing years of it, seeing it essentially
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: essentially unfolding in this process elimination, like two Bay weddings
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: are taking place right now, like this is probably when
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: it happens.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: How you people?
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So to me, it's like I kind of knew
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: what was going to happen, but still like when Ned
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Stark's wife, who I never liked in the show, and
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: she's just looking off for the distance and somebody just
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: walks up and stays, No.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: What are we doing? And that was the show too.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: It's like there's a show where you start to realize
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: you can't get connected to characters because they don't give
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: a ship in this Like imagine just watching it in
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: real time and nobody there's no lore, there's no he
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: hadn't been talked about, no, nothing, and you're just in
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: the Game of Thrones and so many characters just got
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: god just got off.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I know, like Rob Starks somebody I got.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this dude fights like with integrity,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: mess with him a lot, Like he's a dude that
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: does the does the right thing for the right reasons.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: He's not being king because he wants to. He has
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: to be king because he has two type of vibes.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: And I loved him for it. I thought his mom
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: sucked just getting rid of Jamie Lanister like that and
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: like in hopes that he would send her two dollars away.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: But you still felt good because Brathian was like still
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: the guy, right, fanis Brathian, He's the guy with the witch,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: No the son God? Who am I thinking of? The
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: one who ended up basically getting stabbed by the just
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: a hog out in war. He was the king from
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: first season Robert ar as first king and then uh
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Rob or ned Stark is still alive. You're like, you
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: kind of hate that Brathyan goes down because you see
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: all the inner workings going on around him of how
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: they don't want to be the king. It's like, Okay,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: at least he wrote on that note, like net Stark,
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: He's still like we still got there. Ain't no way
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: they're gonna let that happen, right, and then he gets
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: yopped in front of his daughter too. I think he's
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: just so crazy man.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: And that so this cat that is torturing theon Gray
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Joy basically calls himself a week now. They just try
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: to say, bro, no, He's like, I'm not leaving, and
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: he like rewarded him with the bath and it's just
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: amazing guy. He's like a Jokers type of individual. Yes,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: and then finding out he's a bastard as well. Just
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: crazy John Snow's just up there. You know there's a
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: massive war about to take place. I know that that
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: gift is about to happen any moment.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: You still got two seasons before that. That's what I'm saying, Like,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: if you're if you're touching that, and now I'm like,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: oh my god, bro Tyrone Lanister Oberon. Oberon's the guy
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: from He's like Braun no, no, no no, from dorn
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: Right and he he hates Tyron. This is the Mandalorian Yes, yes,
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: s yeah, yeah, fu with character.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: I'm mess with him. He's like a free thinking, free spirited,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: like just does things completely different than anybody else, like
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: goes against the grain, and just the way they talk
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: about him as a warrior, like you. I saw a clip,
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: So this is not my thought, but the fact that
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Tyrone Lanister is like, if you help me, I'll give
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: you your shot at the mountain. And I saw the
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: clip of Pedro Pascal and what he does to the mountain.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for that. And I'm assuming I'm assuming
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: it's Tyrian Oberon says, I'll fight for you, and then
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: what a Tyrian says, Okay, we'll give him, We'll give
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: him the what's his name, Yeah, Tyland Lanister gives him
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: the mountain and they go at it. Am I correct
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: in saying that.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: You guys say you don't you don't want to see
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: facial expressions of anything. But because because where I'm at
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: in the show, say this, we'll say this, You're on
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: the tip of the iceberg.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: But hold on, I've seen that clip, so this is
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: not my This is just process of elimination. And I
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: and Tyrian just said I want to trial by battle,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: like am I correct? And those are the two that
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: get lined up. Okay, you have to save assumption. Yeah, clean,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: take clean, clean assumption.
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Shut. Kevin's sent your foods man in form Energy for

  Speaker 1: I kind of got bullied. We kind of got mingled
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: That's okay.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: It was it was probably am I fair to say,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: like it was probably more us than them.
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: It kind of was, y'all because they are these three
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: girls who have no idea what y'all do for a profession,
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: and they asked, what do y'all do? We have a
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: podcast and they asked what's it about? And your first
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: word instead of saying we're x NFL players.
• 53:52
  Speaker 7: Was community and that was that was it.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: And so the girls were like, we were I was.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll speak for myself. I was nerves.
• 54:00
  Speaker 15: It was tone.
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: It was tone. It was the tone in which the
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: question was a girls canna be scary too? Girls especially
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: they were.
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: It was a group of three and it almost felt
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: like you're back in middle school and it's like the
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: cool girls ask you why are you wearing those tennis shoes?
• 54:12
  Speaker 15: You're like, and it's a classroom full of like who
• 54:16
  Speaker 15: even knows because obviously people want to take pictures afterwards,
• 54:18
  Speaker 15: but you have no clue if anybody in there is
• 54:20
  Speaker 15: even close to familiar with bust with the boys.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: And the teachers like, hey, will you guys stand up
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: and say a few words, and we're like, if you
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: want to, yeah, if you want to. It would be
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: nice if someone classed for a photo before. So it's okay.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: They got to know who we are, and it's not
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: like an engaging classroom like everybody's just quiet sitting there,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: the entire class, and dude, like it's us being like, hell, yeah,
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: we just did a present.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: I hope there's one to three of those kids in
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: that class that watch this episode, so we can just
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: tell them the teacher you have is incredible.
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: You gotta cherish him.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: You gotta cherish him, because when you walk away from
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: that being thirty four, that's probably the uncomfortable part too,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Like these kids are eighteen and twenty one and we're
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: sitting there.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Like and when he's talking about Rock Up by Baby
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: or was it Rock Up by Baby the music remixes,
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: he's talking about how much it matters for him because
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: he's his dad. He's like, I know nobody in here.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: He kind of feels like he's talking to himself. But
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting there. I'm like, no, he's giving him some games.
• 55:10
  Speaker 7: Just don't know that game.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's awesome. The mustard thing was incredible. Who
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: is the Sharon? Is that the girl's name?
• 55:20
  Speaker 10: Sharon is the girl who proposed the question? Is mayonnaise
• 55:24
  Speaker 10: an instrument?
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Sharon? All that?
• 55:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, her performance was economic impact of it, what it
• 55:32
  Speaker 10: means for the future, how important it was to the
• 55:34
  Speaker 10: past and how mayonnaise is the key to a great president.
• 55:38
  Speaker 9: And that class did not get the Poppet deserve.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: But I don't think.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: I think JP just keep us me that he just

  Speaker 10: But economic impact was real. She gave three impact the
• 56:01
  Speaker 10: Hellman's mayonnaise thing.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Every student that goes up there giving a presentation of
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: their own, they can pick whatever they want over like

• 56:12
  Speaker 9: Yeah no, but she hits the mayonnaise and it is
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: an instrument. And then the teacher again did not get
• 56:18
  Speaker 9: the Pope deserved. He's like, I've never used mayonnaise, but
• 56:20
  Speaker 9: I've used mustard. Yeah, and it just plays this video

• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: little bit because I sualt I said it a.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Little you did, but you could say you did something
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: wrong there. You're the only person that showed up between
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: the two of us, like you're the only one that

  Speaker 2: no matter how soft, no matter how hard, it doesn't matter.

• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: like us in shuffle board, always have, always will forever.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: But the fact that we're playing the five and it's
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: the most competitive game because nobody could score is preposterous. Yeah.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: And it's a game too that like goes back to
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: the foundation of our ship. When we first started, it
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: was shuffle board every single day for a while. So
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: the fact that we didn't have a big opportunity against.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman and that was night one, so we're trying
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: to feel like, can we bust his balls in his house?
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Like this shuffle board is bullshit? Yeah? Yeah, and he
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: got competitive too, got competitive.

  Speaker 1: Bro At one point it was me, Will, Ryan and
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: like three others. It was like half Bust and half
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame guys were like, oh, we have a legit
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: shot here, we take down this universe and then I
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: get sniped, Will get sniped and then it's like Nolan
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: and two Notre Dame guys but him.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: Now we're done here Nolan can play better than the
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: way he performed. It was frustrating me. I'm like, bro,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: you got a stroke.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Run that back real quick. That's a heavy bump out
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: play I had there, not the stroke.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 7: Impressive.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: Hit that back just a second. This cat tried to
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: get me out. He was about to get me out,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: and I hit through the net, hit his ball. Yes, dude,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: that was might be right here. Yeah, this is the
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: cat that got me. Look at this he's in that's
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Eddy yeah.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: And talking ship to I like Snead too. That's number three.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: That's a linebacker like he's on a hundred. The entire
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: practice photos. Jack Landing, fun trip, great trip, love some
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame. Got me a jersey, got me a scholarship offer.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: That's huge, huge bro.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 7: And they didn't give Taylor one.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Did not give Taylor one. We're bringing that up. It
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: was it was like, at the end of the day,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: it was a pity offer.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: No, it wasn't, dude, and heyst trust me.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed No matter what. I'm gonna church tell you
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: one thing.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: I feel a certain way right now, but it shouldn't
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: take away from you at all that you finally got
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: your offer for Notre Dame. I'm gonna feel my way,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: and you shouldn't feel any type of way about my disappointment,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: my upset, any of that. You got an offer, And
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: here's the thing that's probably uncomfortable.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: I got offered just as a fullback, Like Notre Dame
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: just did me wrong in the recruiting process. So that's
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: them like making it right. Yeah, I can say pity,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: but that's them trying to make right because I was
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: a Notre Dame sicico growing up.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: I never got offered by Notre Dame, never got off.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 7: You hated Notre Dame though, No, I didn't.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't dislike Notre Dame in high school. I didn't
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: know much about football at all. In high school, I
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: was just like playing football, and I was like, I
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: want to go to the school that I believe is
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: the coolest. I end up going to Michigan, which ended
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: up turning into I don't like Notre Dame, gotcha. But
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: at the time when I'm seventeen years old, yeah, I don't.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: I have no alliance like of whole house state, like,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: oh this is fucking sick ohouse statem. I'm like, I
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: wouldn't go there.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: Like clump. How how much are you talking to the
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: team and telling him how much I used to love
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 7: So that's what I'm saying.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 8: keV probably watched content to knowing that you don't really
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 8: like Notre Dame right now and that you talk highly
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 8: that you wanted to go to Notre Dame. Is yeah, yeah,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 8: because I was like obviously planned early from them.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I did.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 8: I talked to They asked me that you if you
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 8: wanted to go to Notre Dame.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: I said, yes, yeah.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: GM's name is Mike Martin correct, that was his name,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: I believe, so, yes, Okay, he was awesome. That was
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: one of the more underrated parts of this entire thing,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: was sitting there watching him and him whether he really
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: cared about our opinion or not to bring up the
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: clips and be like, tell me what you think about
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: this guy, and just like talking ball and knowing in
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: the back of your head like everyone's kind of watching,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: you're kind of breaking down a little things like let
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: me get in my bag a little bit about the
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: things I know and I've spent so many years doing
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: It was just awesome.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Who's a dog? Who's the players breaking down? I don't
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: remember on disappointed. I know he was a dog. You
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: could just see a pro in motion operating because what
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: he was a sophomore last year I think was the.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 7: First year he was impressed.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: He was extremely impressive to watch number. I can't remember
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: that sixty played right guard.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: He was the right guard. I think he was on defense.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: And they're putting him at tackle this year.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 8: Is that what I guard last year? He's playing right
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 8: tackle this year. But he's a monster, dude, this Kingston Cat.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 8: This linebacker that's coming off he got injured. Dowars a
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 8: c l like he his range, his ability, his athleticism
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 8: to be on the line of scrimmage.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: He can play off the ball and no, no, no,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: not him. It's more than that.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: But this Kingston Cat cover blitz off the ball everything,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: and he seems yeah, and he seems smart as ship
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: as well, and he plays violent as fuck. He's going
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: to be a dude this year. That's cool for me.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: Is like obviously being around football, you're for your entire
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: adult life, you're learning things all the time. But listening
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: to you, that first one when he's off the ball
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: and there's the pollar and he smacks that fucking Poller.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, Gerby Gurby, uh Lambert's.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, stud, dude. This kid's got the length,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: he's got the attitude, he's got the he's got the feet.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: Stud.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: But when you're talking about this Kingston kid, how he
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: kind of loose, he like bows in and then hits
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: the guy, He's like if he's a little bit sharper,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a hit and a TfL Like watching that,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: hearing that and learning that, I'm like, it's just amazing
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: how much like how many layers of football to where
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: you learn something new, even at thirty four, playing the
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: game for as long.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: As Yeah, man, it is nuts. The detail that goes
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: into all is because he like lights that puller up.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Lights his ass up to a point where like, if
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: you have if I had a counter in or if
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: I'm a guard I have to pull. I'm like, I'm
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: really dreading if this play comes up and he's the
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: backside linebacker that I'm pulling for. Yeah, I'm dreading the
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: idea of having to go head to head with this
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: guy on a pole. Yeah, because he smacks motherfuckers.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: And he just put old buddy in the hole and
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: then when you're coaching that cat, it's like there's so
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: much more like of that greatness that you can chase
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: just by taking this angle. Like you'll not only do this,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: but you're gonna make the play in the backfield right
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: because that's a kid. It's like you're gonna play for
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: a long time, Like he's gonna get drafted high. Hey's calm.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: The cool thing about the class we went to is
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: the teacher was like, hey, we got cameras in here,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: we got people, and if you don't want to do yours,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: you can do a different class. Every kid stood up
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: and Kingston, the linebacker that we watched on film, he
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: got up to and gave his his whole you know, speed,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: thank you, and dude, it's just awesome. He's just a
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: kid that quiet, humble, a couple of things you could
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: have pronounced better.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: And an absolute killer killer. He's gonna take a soul
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: this year. JP is the economy part in the vlog. No, no, no,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: it's not damn this.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: That I know he did where he's at. I know
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: he's gonna hate that. I know because it's truly it's
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: it's just a nervous fuck up. Yeah, But if he
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: were to see that his opinion about us would be
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: changed for life.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fair, fair, it's probably best. It's probably best. But
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: as long as he'll know end time like this is
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: great ball busting.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: You might need to get that clip of him trying
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: to pronounce it and then when he says that next
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: to you and just go, hey, by the way, it's
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: economy like just that and send it to him the
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: way to get to him personally. But he didn't make it.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: But dude, bro, this is funny. Like you don't know
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: this right now, but that is hilarious. I was like,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: oh man, what happened? He said, I got some stage. Bro,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: what happens to the best of us? Best of us?
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: Dude, everyone gets a little nervous.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 11: How did he pronounce it?
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: He went a bunch of different ways with it. Every
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: way you could think about me, think.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: About me reading an ad that's kind of where they are,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: and you know.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: It's a word that Taylor knows. Just a moment in
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: your brain is happening and you just can't put it
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: together right right.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 11: Like some ego nami kind Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: He threw a couple of extra season there a couple
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: of times he was just and it was truely like
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: three seconds of him just like fumbling over it and
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: didn't find it, but like had the wherewithal to be like,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna move on.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: From the Yeah, I'm gonna get out like a ship.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Well, we're kind of sitting in the back, kind of
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: snickering a little bit a couple of things.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like, oh, hey, that students got their
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: phone out. You should brace your hand and tell on them.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, the phones in class? Are they allowed? I don't,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 7: I just.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: But once again, dude, it's like that would have been
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: awesome because I actually that teacher would enjoy that. But
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: then we would have came off as class clowns.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, and it's.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Like, what, I've got the polo on the quarters up,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: like I'm trying to be as notre dame as I
• 1:12:32

• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: one wasn't the way the Notre Dame one was as
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: far as structure, as far as like the time we
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: got to run to everything. Yeah, we gotta do a
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: full workout. Yeah, we're fucking shaking. We got to count
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: the whole time. That was so underrated. Bro, just counting
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: like yeah, one, two, three, three, two one in us

• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: It was fun, But I'd like to say one thing,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: go ahead, they set us up for failure. If you
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: watch the VOG you're going to see the line, the
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: standard line and has bustled with the boys were below
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: the line. Yeah, they said the workout started at six. Correct,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: they picked us up at five forty five?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: Is not Dame or Michigan.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, not Dame? What did I say? Did I
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: say Michigan?
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: I was Notre Dame. Five forty five pickup. We get
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: picked up in five. We drive there. They tell us
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: we're below the standard because if you're not fifteen minutes.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: Early, you're late. Correct. But they said the schedule.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so they were there to pick us up fifteen
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 7: minutes early.

• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: we gotta stay we gotta stay unbiased.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, stay biased. But I think every single one
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: we got more biased. Yeah, everyone was the best one.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: We love every team. Yeah, and we're so easily bought
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: to any school out there watching anything. If you want
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: to get in our like every school had a set
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: up for the boys.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to get our good gracious, give us
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: a bag of clothes and jersey.

• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame in Miami gave us a jersey. No one's
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: giving us a helmet yet.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 7: We did show the new helmet at Texas Tech, though.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: That is sick and we could probably hit up Texas

  Speaker 1: We're at your house, by the way, incredible establishment have there.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: You have multiple homes within a home. It's like a
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: compound that takes place of going on with this for Yeah,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: the only knock I would give you on your home
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: is your shuffle board is insanely inaccurate.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 7: You couldn't figure it out. It was fun.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 13: I mean, at some point you got to realize it
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 13: was leaning to the right, but you just kept going
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 13: to the right.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: Coach I at one point was facing the wall and
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: it would do a little U turn and you just
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: figured out this one little spot.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: And let's let's be real like you had a hard.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 7: Time with it too, but when it mattered to most.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got it. Done.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: It was beautiful to see the thing that I would
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: that struck me in the most surprised is we're playing
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: bump Out. There's a young man behind me. Knockout. It
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: depends from depends from a young CJ. Car is behind me,
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: and I'm thinking to myself, I gotta figure out a
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: way to get behind him, to get this man out.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: So I'm talking a little bit of trash. I shoot,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: We'll go around a couple of times, and then finally
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: CJ gets me out, and as we're jogging away, Cg's
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: like in my ear like talking all that ship, huh
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: catch it? So the maxie is unbelievable. We see you
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: at practice as well. You're pulling it, you're running, you're
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: showing the ball like what have you always been a
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: guy with a chip on your shoulder? Like kinde of
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: mentality because you see like the competitive nature and it
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: seems like I see you playing ping pong. It's one
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: of your boys, and it's all it's true, like you
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: want to kill this individual in the most positive way
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: possible bump out the same way, we're at practice, like
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: there's a true leadership feeling about you. Is that something
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: that has a learned thing or is that hell you've
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: always been since a kid.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 7: For the record, I got you both out, by the way,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 7: I'm no good in knockouts, so young it up. But yeah,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 7: it spends from growing up. You know. We were in
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 7: a house with three boys. My dad played football Michigan
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 7: and uh there were never like toys around our house.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 7: It was just you know, balls where it was football, basketball, baseball, tennis, volleyball.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 7: All we did growing up was compete whatever, you know,
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 7: So it's kind of just hardwired and and me and
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 7: whatever game you know we're playing, I'm playing to win.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 7: And that's the way it's always been in my family.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: You obviously pay for a hell of a head coach.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: What made you land on wanting to go to Notre Dame?
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 7: It was the people. I remember visiting here three or
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 7: four times before I committed, and every time I came back,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 7: it was it just felt like more and more like home.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 7: And I remember we were driving a golf cart around here,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 7: probably my third time visiting, and I started to like
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 7: call the the buildings by their nicknames, like hey, let's
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 7: go to the Google or let's go to you know
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 7: here and here and uh at that point, it was
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 7: like this, this feels like home. Every person I talked to, students, players,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 7: you know, I've never met somebody who doesn't love Notre
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 7: Dame and doesn't want to be here. Everyone I talked
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 7: to Notre Dame is the best place on earth, and
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't want any other way. So I think I
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 7: picked a good, good spot.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: We were having a conversation last night about CJ and
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: his competitive nature and when he first came in and
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: when you knew, like, oh, this guy's going to be
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: a guy. He's going to be a dude. Do you
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: want to share? Yeah, a piece of that story at all.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 13: So he was he still should have been in high school,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 13: little snotty, no senior. He came in for bowl practice
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 13: and this might have been his first, first second practice.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 13: I'll never forget. He threw a ball to go Charlie Sona,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 13: and I don't know if he I can't remember if
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 13: he dropped it.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 7: Ran the wrong route or whatever. I'm yelling, no, no,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 7: he caught the touchdown and he spiked the ball.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 13: I knew something happened, right, So we caught the touchdown,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 13: spiked the ball, and I got a little We have
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 13: a roll handed body official, and I'll never forget yelling
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 13: at him and CJ kind of just like without being disrespectful.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 7: I gets into way like, hey, it's all right, next
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 7: time we'll do it. Hey, great job, great job.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 13: And I'm never going like that's his way of giving
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 13: me the middle finger without giving me the middle finger.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 13: But I said, I like this dude. He's competitive, he's
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 13: lifting up his teammates. I said, this dude is going
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 13: to be different, and he is.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: Do you remember the story any differently?
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 7: There's probably a little more language mixed than there on
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 7: both sides, so it was a little different, But yeah,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 7: it was Did you do that on purpose though, like
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 7: because you saw me yelling at him? Yeah? I was
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 7: just so excited, like you don't you don't catch many
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 7: touchdowns against the one offense or this was a year
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 7: before okay, gotcha okay, and so, uh, I was just
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 7: so excited to be there. You know, there's people flying
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 7: all over. Jack Kaiser's pointing out you know exactly what
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 7: we're gonna do, and I'm just like, oh geez, what's
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 7: going on here? Uh? And so we caught a touchdown.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 7: I was just pumped, and uh, I remember I had
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 7: to go get the next play. But I just want
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 7: to pump Charlie up a little bit, you know. He he,
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 7: He hadn't caught a touchdown in a minute.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: He saw the spike, he saw the swag on the
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: said the scout team was having against the starting defense.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: What was?
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 7: Uh?

  Speaker 2: What's your favorite? Do you guys have any any recruiting
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: stories you think back on?

  Speaker 7: I got one my Uh, we banned my mom from
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 7: meeting with Free until, like I knew I was coming here,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 7: because we knew, Like the moment she meets Free and
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 7: they're like in a meeting together and here's him kind
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 7: of talk about Notre Dame like it's all and I'm

  Speaker 13: That's how my son committed to Cornell. Like all these
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 13: college coaches were calling me, I never talked to Cornell.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 13: One time. They called mom over and over. Mom fell
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 13: in love and next you know, sons going to Cornell
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 13: like mom's usually not always, usually moms are keys.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: How long did it take you to learn that? As
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: from like a recruiting standpoint, like, oh, moms truly hold
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: the keys to the castle here.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you learn it through through time.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 13: Like selling, it's when you're selling your place, but you're passionate,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 13: like you have to be authentic. You really have to
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 13: care about what you're selling.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 7: And I do.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 13: But boys are their mama's boys, man, Like they want

  Speaker 13: I haven't told many people the story. The team knows this,
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 13: but this is kind of an in house story. But
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 13: he got hurt in practice. He was red shirting, and
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 13: I remember calling his mom and telling her, and it
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 13: was not a good conversation. She was not happy with me,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 13: and rightfully so. Right as the head coach, I got
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 13: to protect our quarterbacks and but I remember getting off
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 13: that phone, and I said the next day we had
• 1:38:43

• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: Right And we had this conversation on Zoom when you
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: came on busting with the boys. We've got to figure
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: out a way to get that rivalry back, yeah, because
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: it is. I mean, it's historic for sure. When I
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: walk around a place like this, there's so many similar
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: parallels to Michigan and Notre Dame. The history all that stuff.

• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: you know, this is all right, a little more uppity
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: than I wanted to be, kind of like the stereotype
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: that people got to give Notre Dame a bad light
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: of these guys don't like to have fun. It's a
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: bit more. It's it's like too tight, unfortunate. Like I've
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: been very impressed. Yeah, they got us jerseys too. By
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: the way, do we get to do we to keep those?

  Speaker 2: it out, but Kevin's like, hey, we kind of need
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: the jersey back. I was like, why I gotta take
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: this all?
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 7: Well, we'll check and see if it's up to me.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, you're the head coach, CA it's on you now.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 7: We got a listen. Just know this.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: It go open my garage the way.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: I put mine at the bus. It would be sitting
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: right there. All right, fair enough? What was going back
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: to last year in camp? You're in a quarterback battle.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: It just kind of for both of you. But like
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: what point did you think, Okay, I am definitely the
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: guy for this job? And at what point were you're like,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: all right, CJ is going to be the guy?
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 7: You thought you.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably a bad.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 7: Question he did.
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 13: I remember when when he walked in tomorrow office to
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 13: have this conversation, you know, he had this walk like
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 13: I know I'm the guy, and like tell me I'm
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 13: the guy, and I kind of like, I didn't want
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 13: to be overly excited. I wanted him to get a
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 13: little bit nervous, and he did, Like he got a
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 13: little bit nervous. And I go back and I watch
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 13: the video because it's on video. But he has that
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 13: confidence in about him, like from the day he got here,
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 13: even when he committed. I've said this before, he's got
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 13: a personality you want to follow, even as a head coach,
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 13: like you want to follow your quarterback, like that guy
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 13: is leading your programing. And he has that and he
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 13: had to earn it. But there wasn't much doubt that
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 13: he was going to earn it and he did.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 7: He did. He earned it.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: When you're in the middle of a quarterback battle and
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: you know, like I'm the guy, the confidence you have
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: feeling like all right, I feel like it's been put
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: on tape enough. Is it frustrating for you not getting
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: the answer? Because obviously for coach Freeman, like you've been
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: a player, we've all been a part of the the
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: battles that go on, it's like is this really a battle?
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: Or what are we doing? Or how much? How much
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: are we going to live in this gray area of
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: not knowing, like for both of you guys, like for
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: you CJ, starting with you, like, was it frustrating for
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: you at times?
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah? For sure. I think there's there's so many emotions
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 7: that go through it. At times you have a bad
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 7: practice and you know it's it's like the whole way
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 7: the world's on your.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: Back, just like, damn, am I gonna be judged by
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: this day? I just exactly.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 7: But but then you know, I really appreciated the way
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 7: they did it because like Gino our quarterback coach, it
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 7: was never like one day is gonna affect the decision?
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 7: You know, it was We're gonna let you guys battle
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 7: it out in the in the fall, and one one
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 7: good day isn't going to affect it or decide it,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 7: and one bad day isn't gonna decide it. And so
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 7: just try to keep you know, showing up and doing
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 7: your job and sticking to your process. And so it
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 7: was both I think I appreciated the way they did it,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 7: and also at the same time it was like, ah,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 7: like this is this is It wasn't the most fun,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 7: you know, thing you go through, But.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: Because then you're overthinking too at times. It's like you
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: might go for a scrimmage on Saturday and the other
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 2: guy might be getting the one reps. You're like, I
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: wonder if this means no doubt that war that takes place.
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: Now you know it too as a player, Like what
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: is something that you've learned now as a head coach
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: that you didn't really appreciate or felt like you respected
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: at the time that coaches did for you as a player,
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: but now you're like, ah, I get this.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think being intentional about trying to put your
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 13: players in competition because I think it brings out the
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 13: best in them. And I say, and I think you're
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 13: a better version of yourself now that you're the starter,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 13: but you have to try to create competition to see
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 13: which guys will rise to the top. And so I
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 13: think back to my college. We all can think back
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 13: to different points where we are in competition, and sometimes
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 13: we chose to believe we shouldn't be in competition. I
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 13: think as we get older and we look back, we
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 13: go the dude I was competing with was really good.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 13: I mean I remember I remember starting as a sophomore
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 13: in junior and in my senior year, I'm kind of
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 13: competing with a guy and he ended up being a
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 13: really good player. And so, you know, you always think
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 13: at times like, man, the coach is doing me dirty,
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 13: and at the end of the day, like we're gonna
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 13: pay play the best players. Can we create competition in practice?
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 13: If we can't, let's do it. But at the end
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 13: of the day, we're not gonna screw our guys. Oh,
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 13: we got to play the best ones to.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: Give us a chance. There's a method to the Yeah.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is there any like uh in the NFL, Like
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: with guys getting paid. When the guys get drafted in
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: the first round, he's gonna be kind of thrust it
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: into a role. Have you seen any of that with
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: college football, and IL like, you bring a guy in,
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: you pay him a lot of money. Is there like
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: a certain like feeling or maybe some coaches are probably
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: pushing for a guy that might not be might not
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: be ready, but because the pay amount.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think as I look back to the two
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 13: transfer quarterbacks that we had previously with Sam Hartman and
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 13: Rylan Leonard, and I remember having a conversation like, if
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 13: it's a tie, you have to put the guy out
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 13: there that you've invested the most money. And because it's
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 13: not fair to the guy that's starting right because the
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 13: minute he throws an incomplete pass, are gonna boom and
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 13: say get the other guy in right, And so that
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 13: that's the only time that's really mattered. The rest, Like
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 13: if you're an incoming freshman, no matter what you make,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 13: like you got to earn. You got to earn your opportunities.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 13: And guess what if you do earn those things, you're
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 13: gonna get paid more money. Right, And so that's why
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 13: I say it's a little bit different where first round
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 13: picks in the draft they're paid so much like you
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 13: have to go in there, you better start, or somebody
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 13: in a personnel department is gonna probably be fired, right,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 13: Whereas here your incoming freshmen aren't making the money that
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 13: your dudes are making, and so they have to earn
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 13: the right to make more money, and nobody when they
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 13: earn the right, and they've earned it on the field,
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 13: and then they're compensated for it.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go back to uh last year. You guys
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 2: start off zero and two quality losses, go on ten games,
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: and you know, all one game by one play there
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: was a holding. Yeah, trust me that you know the
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: A and M one. I knew right when they bobbled
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: the field goal or the extra point or something, I
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: was tight because this is this is beyond what we
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: can talk about on busting with the boys. But then
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 2: you go on ten straight you're ranked where you're ranked
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: in the college football playoff rankings. The year continues to go.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: You guys are blowing teams out. People are comparing which
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: what you did versus what Miami did and all these
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: other teams like how much they won, buy everything, common opponents,
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: all of that stuff, and then you get the news
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: that you guys aren't going to be in the college
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: fotball Playoff. When you were assuming that you were going
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: to be in that conversation based on where you were ranked.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: Instant reaction, instant emotions. What was the team meeting room
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: like when you guys all got in the team meeting
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: room for the first time, when you see Duke win
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: the ACC and it's like, Okay, this could be this
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 2: could be an inside job. Those are my words. I
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: won't say that for anybody else. This is Will Compton's words.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: And for the if you guys haven't followed, Will was
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: big on the Notre Dame should be in trained, big
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: on it when this all went out.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we were doing a sideline pass SEC Championship game.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 7: Was I you were not?
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: I thought?
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: When I don't, I think I think inevitably the committee
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: got it corrected. Will I think ineditable the committee got
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: a correct I think the fault is the G fives.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: No disrespect to the G fives, but we see what
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: happens every single time the G fives are in it.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: But when he goes to the head to head with Miami,
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: I'm very uncomfortable right now by the way saying my
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: first It's like that's something you just can't ignore.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and clearly you.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: Guys like you guys are a completely different team from
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: week one to week fourteen or whatever the last game
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: of the season is. And I think head to head,
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: it might be a different story.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: CJ. Car's first star versus CJ.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 7: Car starts.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, Yeah, how did how did that go down?
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: What went into decision to opt out of the bowl game?
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 2: What was what was that next week like for you guys,
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 2: even as a player to he likes.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 13: This is this is what we call bloody wound. You know,
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 13: the scab is, you're starting to heal, and then we
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 13: just rip that scab right off.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 7: Right, let's go back to it.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 13: And we have to do this sometimes in our program,
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 13: right when we forget about those moments. But here's what
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 13: I'll say. In the moment when it was announced, like
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 13: I didn't have the words to say right because you
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 13: were shocked, surprised, disappointed. I remember telling the players, I
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 13: don't know what to say right now, usually I do.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 13: I remember telling them like, don't let this decision still
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 13: the joy of what you guys accomplished this season, where
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 13: we started to where we finished. Be proud of that journey.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 13: And and then the next day I remember going back
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 13: into the team meeting and saying, you know, one apologizing
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 13: to the seniors that this is their last year and
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 13: the ones that this was their last season, but to
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 13: the guys that were coming back, like, we have to
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 13: use this. Don't lose the loss, use it, Use it
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 13: as a reminder that we left doubt. Right there was doubt.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 13: There's an argument that we should have been in the
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 13: playoffs and we shouldn't. And it doesn't matter how you
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 13: feel about the decision. We left doubt. And we have
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 13: to make sure we use this as motivation and reminders
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 13: to leave no doubt as we continue to go forward.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 13: And so that's what we do now. We use it
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 13: and we don't pass blame. We don't blame the Committite,
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 13: we don't blame Miami anybody. We look at ourselves and say,
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 13: we fell short. So how can we make sure we
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 13: start this season faster. That's more point than anything. We
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 13: start off season zero and to two. We didn't start.
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 13: I don't care who the opponent was. We didn't start
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 13: to the level we needed to start. So we have
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 13: to make sure that we're evaluating everything we do from
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 13: January till August and say is there a better way
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 13: to do it, and that's what we're trying to do.
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 13: And that's what we're doing. If you blame anybody's Virginia
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 13: for not being I let you do that, sees you.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 2: How about for you, what was that next week like
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 2: for you? For the locker room?
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was it was a fun you know, you
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 7: work so hard with that team and you know, we thought,
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 7: you know, we're a top team in the country that
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 7: can really do some damage in the playoffs. And I
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 7: think the worst part was seeing the seniors kind of
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 7: leave us. The guys that, uh, you know you'd worked
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 7: day in and day out for for the last however
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 7: many months. The Billy Strouss, the Will Paulings, the Malchi Fields,
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 7: the Jeremiah Loves, the JD's like those guys that that really,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 7: you know, we're a huge part of that team. You
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 7: know that that you didn't know it was your last
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 7: game with them was Stanford and under the lights, like
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 7: that was the last time you were gonna be on
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 7: a field with uh, some of your best friends. And
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 7: so I think that like from a player's perspective, from
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 7: the locker room perspective, like that was a really hard,
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 7: uh way to kind of see the season go and
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 7: and like like Free said, like we're hopefully we can
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 7: use that and you know, we get the results we're
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 7: looking for this next year because we got we got
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 7: some really good good players. I mean, it's just as
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 7: I listened to CJ.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 13: It's like, how old are you know, thirty six thirty six, Like,
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 13: I don't matter if you're thirty six, thirty four, forty twenty,
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 13: like blows every as you continue, Like, things like this
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 13: happen and you might not think they're fair.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 7: Usually there are fair.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 13: At some point you realize that, Like, but these are
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 13: things that happen in life. You're gonna lose games, You're
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 13: gonna get disappointments. My son's gonna lose. We're in wrestling, like,
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 13: and we have to use these experience to make us better,
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 13: Like is there's more coming for all of us? There
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 13: are there are more disappointments and things we don't think
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 13: is fair, but it's gonna happen, and we got to
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 13: use it and we got to continue to be better
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 13: because of it. And that's what I that's the mindset
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 13: I take when I think about the future and I
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 13: think about some of the things that has happened and
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 13: will happen.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: As we sit here in April halfway through springball. Like
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: when I go and I listen to you know, the
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: super fans of Notre Dame and they talk about this roster,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: the only thing they really talk about is like, how
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: do you replace Jeremiah Love? Which is clear, but from
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: top to bottom. Now, you guys only take seven transfers,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: but you're a top ten portal class, like you guys
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: have been the top eight, top ten for recruiting in general.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: Like when you evaluate your team now, where you're at
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: compared to where you were last year, how do you
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: feel about the team? And the same question for U.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 7: CJ.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: When you're just evaluating as a second year starter.
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 7: You want to start sure, I'm I'm excited for this
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 7: this squad and this team, and uh, like you said,

• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: Every song knows them all. For me, I'm stuck in
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven to two thousand and five like Blanket
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: two to me is the greatest band of all time.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: Can't beat the most influential band of all time. But
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: that good Charlotte some forty one taking back Sunday, That's
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: that's my vibe, that alternative punk. Alternative punk.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 13: Yes, yeah, my wife sent me a reel the other day.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 13: It was I think it was like dad or mom,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 13: what were you like in the nineties? Yeah, and they
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 13: played the Google's Google Doll song Yeah, Irish or whatever,
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 13: And I've been hooked on those like what were you
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 13: like in the nineties? Yeah, it makes me feel like
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 13: an old guy looking back. But that's what you made
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 13: me think of what you're saying.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: Did you see that it might have been the best
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 2: era of music?
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 7: It was pretty good.
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 2: The Rocks got a good video. Oh yeah, yeah, you
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: got some tears of my eyes. I got yeah as well.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah there's one out there. Then you make it Jack,
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: he's very proud of it.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: But what is the evaluation that you look at right now,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: like where you guys are doing better, where you think
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: you need to improve on in certain areas at this
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: point in spring?
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 13: Yeah, you learn through experience, right. I remember in like
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 13: twenty four we had a really really good talented team
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 13: and I was overly excited, like this is the most
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 13: talented rosters we've ever had, and we lose a oil
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 13: of ainoi and you get humbled really fast, And like
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 13: the roster, the ceiling's high. We've got a high ceiling.
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 13: We just we got to keep doing the work, man,
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 13: like we consider in daydream about how higher ceiling is,
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 13: or just go to work and work and find ways
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 13: to improve and just keep chasing that full potential. We
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 13: have to become a more consistent football team. Today we
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 13: finished practice seven and there's areas of improvement, like how
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 13: do we get consistent in doing our jobs right every
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 13: single play? And those are the ways that we got
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 13: to challenge our players and the standards that we have
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 13: to set. And so I'm excited though, like because we
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 13: got a bunch of We got leaders that are workers, right,
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 13: and when I always believe you're led by the strong,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 13: and when you're strong, are your best workers. The other
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 13: guys just follow because they don't know any better. And uh,
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 13: we got some strong leaders. So we're keeping pushing them
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 13: to keep working and challenging those guys.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: Blow them that North of the Illinois game, I was like,
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 2: what the yah?
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 7: Right after you?
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, shame. This game is immediate text to shame, right,
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: This game will humble you.
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah. You know.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: One thing that I feel like you can evaluate, like
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: what's a well coached team is like the amount of
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: like preseason of pre snap and post snap penalties you
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: dubbed us referees today very limited penalties across the board.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: And I was trying my best to throw the laundryll
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: over the yard.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 2: I was kind of caught because obviously a defense.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: It seemed like you were kind of zoned out if.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 13: You tell your hands when you're piety and I'm like,
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 13: ok at will back there.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 7: He's just watching practice. After every play, I'm.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: Looking at the big screen watching the snap. Yeah, you
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: kind of just get caught. I'm like, I mean, there
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 2: ain't much going on out of here. There's a couple.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: There was a couple I was trying to keep. I
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: was trying to in the secondary. I was trying to
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: hold the standard.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 13: Well, you missed the most obvious when the play clock
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 13: was at zero for about three seconds. So yeah, I
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 13: just kept looking at you like you're gonna throw. You're
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 13: just making checks and checks and checks, and that there
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 13: was a play.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 7: Coock. Going to be honest with you, I'm gonna look
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 7: bad as a head coach, and I'm just telling you
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 7: don't know.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: You guys seem like a well coached you.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: Your team understands the rules, like your OFFENSI line and
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: know when they get out of the framework, they let
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: go of the jersey, they give a shove. Guys are
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: really good intentional with their hands, Like how much goes
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: into that from a coaching standpoint of making sure these
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: guys understand the rules and use the rules to their advantage.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's important, right, is that? Like, don't beat Notre Dame.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 13: It's something we talked about all the time, and and
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 13: pre snap post snap penalties playing with bad fundamentals that
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 13: beats Notre Dame. Aggressive penalties will take every day.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 13: If we're the least penalized team, then we're not the
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 13: team that I want to coach. But we can't have stupid,
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 13: undisciplined penalties. Those are the ones that will kill you,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 13: and so we have to show them. We'll watch the
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 13: mistakes of others. We do that all the time. We
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 13: watch other people make mistakes so we don't repeat them.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 13: And we just got to keep educating our guys on
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 13: how to play the game properly, but with the violence
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 13: and intentionality that we demand.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 2: Your name flirted around a lot when the New York
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: Giants head job was up. How real were those? Obviously?
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 2: You you know, you came out, you said what you
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 2: said about staying in Notre Dame and everything else. But
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like your name's gonna continue to come up
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 2: year in and year out with the NFL, not knowing
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 2: if you have aspirations for it. But how real do
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: those conversations get? And what is the thought process that
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 2: goes into if you even were to make a decision
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 2: like that between going to the NFL or staying where
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 2: you're at.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't want to give a cliche answer, but
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 13: I believe this strongly. Like with team success comes individual opportunities,
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 13: and so I hope conversations like this continue to happen
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 13: because that means our team is doing really, really good
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 13: and they're gonna, you know, people, they want to give
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 13: credit to one. They're gonna give it to the quarterback
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 13: when we win, or give it to the head coach.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 13: They're gonna fire fire me when we lose, and they
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 13: want me to replace you when we lose. But we
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 13: know it takes people. And that's that's why I was
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 13: in that situation and an off season. You know, I
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 13: used it as an opportunity. I don't know, I've never
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 13: coached the NFL. I was in the NFL for one year.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 13: I use an opportunity to figure out, like what is
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 13: being a head coach in the NFL and TAIL what's
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 13: the difference is how do you work with GMS and
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 13: the salary cap and all these different things. It was
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 13: it was good for me to learn, but I finished
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 13: the statements like I'm as happy at this place with
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 13: these group of young people, this coaching staff, this support
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 13: a happened issue like this is special and I hope
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 13: you guys are feeling it right now, like it's it's
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 13: a special place with special people that you get to
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 13: impact their lives. And that's what I love about coaching
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 13: eighteen to twenty two year olds, Like you can pour
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 13: in and impact one hundred and twenty guys or one
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 13: hundred and five guys, and and and that's why just
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 13: the starters, not just the ones that play. And I
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 13: love that. That's my why, right, why you go to
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 13: work every day is to try to impact these young people.
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 13: And so I'm happy.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, yeah, how was it for you? And when
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 2: you see your head coach, So for an example, like
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: I remember when coach bo I wanted to say there
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 2: was there would be rumors about him potentially going to
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 2: Miami or wanting to go to the NFL, and you,
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 2: as an innocent player, you're not thinking.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 7: You just don't.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 2: You're just in the box. You're like, oh, this is
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 2: my head coach, these are my guys, like everything else.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 2: And then when you see it or you see that
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: it's rumored or something else, Like I know for me,
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like I need to hit coach Bow up or
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 2: I need to go to his office, Like, Hey, what's
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 2: going on. What is it like for you as a
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 2: player in that situation when you see when you see
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 2: your head coach in headlines.
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 7: Like that, Yeah, it's not hitting Free up making sure.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I think, like looking back at the recruiting process,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 7: I think people told me like growing up not to
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 7: commit to a coach, and I think just nowadays, it's
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 7: such a hard thing to navigate because you know, Free
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 7: such a huge part of why I picked Notre Dame
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 7: and and uh, you know, his job is to bring
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 7: in the best coaches in America to to make sure
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 7: our team, you know, achieve success. And so you hear
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 7: those rumors and it's it's there's a little bit of
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 7: anxiety of like, is this is this real? It's not
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 7: just because you know you don't want you don't want
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 7: Free to leave. He's the best coach in America and
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 7: and you trust him and you've built this relationship with him,
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 7: but also you trust him.
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 14: I hope you all are enjoying the Notre Dame interview
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 14: but we got to take a second.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame. They don't cut corners, they never have.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 14: The fighting Irish have never cut corners and they never will.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 14: The fighting Irish do things the right way, always have
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 14: and that's how.
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: We move too, No shortcuts.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 14: That's why we eat Kevin's clean ingredients, no fillers, no nonsense,
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 14: and it actually tastes good, loaded with protein.
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 2: That's doing things the right way, US championship level fuel.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 2: Just like Notre Dame.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 5: We're very locked in right now, extremely locked in right now.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: About reading internet.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 7: Don't read that media.
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: Is it hard not to read the internet?
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: When you're in the position you are, We talked about
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: earlier about you being a you know, everyone's saying this
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: guy is gonna be the heisman. There's a lot of noise,
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: and with noise, like comes expectation. And when you have
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: a bad game, you I mean, everyone one way or
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: another sees it or hears about it, like people passionate
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: fans are passionate on both sides of the ball.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: When you guys win and.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 1: Lose, How how is it for you in this the
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: way social media is now, the way everyone has their opinions, everyone,
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: every dumb ex athlete has a podcast to like judge
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 1: you and how you guys handle things, like, how is
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: it for you with all this excess noise around?
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 7: Ah, It's it's not crazy. You'd think it'd be, at
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 7: least for me. It's uh, Like I think when we
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 7: win and lose it in that locker room, the opinion
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 7: and the expectations are so high that that's kind of
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 7: all you hear is I'm not on a bunch of
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 7: social media all the time and reading everything because, uh,
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 7: the opinions in the locker room are are so high,
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 7: and the opinions and expectations I have for myself and
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 7: it's this team are so high that nothing else kind
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 7: of really matters. And I think, uh, I think you
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 7: know that that speaks for most of that locker room too,
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 7: Like we're so invested in what goes on in there,
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 7: and everything else is is noise and kind of in
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 7: the way and just distracts from you know, getting better
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 7: today and and uh, you know reaching you know, the
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 7: goals that you know we want to reach.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't read in the social media too.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: Nothing worse than sitting there. I tell you, what are
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: your name in the search bar. We've all We've all
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: done it.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 2: I've been there.
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: You'll have a game when you were playing, Yeah, you
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: put it in and you just kind of scrolling like
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: we had a pretty good game. Everybody's a victim to
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 1: that dude. It's like you'll see ten comments and like,
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: let's just say you had a great game. Nine of
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: them are this dude's the man, and then you see
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: one that's like this guy kind of sucks and you're
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: like something about that one just suffocates my soul a
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, oh I had a pretty good game today.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 2: Let me see what's saying about old Willie Boy. They
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 2: exactly Yeah, Yeah, you gotta be careful renow on social media?
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 2: Which does I do want to ask, like, how are
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 2: you as a wrestling dad? I don't know. I don't
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 2: know if this is subconsciously something I saw on social media,
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 2: but it seems like you're you're a very intentional, bought
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 2: in as a wrestling dad, like going to watch your
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 2: boy wrestles.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 13: Passion that you have. I went to one wrestling matches
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 13: year in January. Yeah, you know, and so it reminded
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 13: me why don't go to wrestling matches and and uh
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 13: you know, another reason is because people look at you, right,
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 13: And sometimes I want to be a parent, right, And
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 13: if I'm there in person, I know people are looking
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 13: at me. So I kind of sit there and don't
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 13: move and just act like I'm non emotional. But in
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 13: my office, when I watch on my iPad, I can be
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 13: I can move, and I can be a father, and
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 13: uh so I enjoy it way better in my office,
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 13: and I stay out of headlines when I'm watching them.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, fair enough, fair enough. Wrestling's intense. Now it's
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 2: fandom and wrestling you're bought in, like you said, you're
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 2: like moving, grooving. Yeah, I wrestle. I wrestled, but I
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 2: felt more like I didn't like wrestling. My parents kind
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 2: of made me wrestle because it benefited football. But my
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 2: brother Cody, he was really good, and I felt like
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 2: I was just as invested in watching Cody out there
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 2: wrestle because he was like ranked in the country, and
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 2: you know, when he had a primetime match and when
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 2: he got to State, when he was going to wrestle
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 2: the dudes in State, and you're kind of just your sweating,
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 2: you're up there, you kind of have anxiety, you want
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 2: him to win so badly. I love the wrestling culture.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 7: Bro.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're traveling around the Triple Crown, Reno, Tulsa.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 13: That wrestling community is small, but it's it's they're they're nuts,
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 13: man in a good way. Yeah, it's it's a you
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 13: got four of them four now four wrestlers. The three
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 13: other boys they're they're like what you just said, Like
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 13: there's no option. They have to wrestle. Y Ven, he's
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 13: to the point now he gets to choose the wrestle.
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 13: But those three boys are gonna keep them in there
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 13: because I think that Bill's character, it's really good fundamentals
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 13: and stuff.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 7: But like, you have to learn how to lose.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 13: And football is the greatest team sport, right And I
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 13: often say this. When we have success, you point it's.
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 7: Because of c J.
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 13: Cars, because you, it's because of you, it's because of you.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 13: But when we have failure, when we lose, I say
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 13: this is wrestling. I want everybody to say it's my fault.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 13: Because in wrestling, you lose, it's you. But we have
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 13: to be able to do that. We have to be
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 13: able to say it is my fault, it's not your fault,
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 13: because outside of here, they blame somebody else, and it's
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 13: easy to follow that, but we need to look at
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 13: ourselves when we have failure and point to other people
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 13: when we have success.
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: How difficult is that as a coach when you have
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 1: players that are clearly making a lot of money. Everybody
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: who's coming to Notre Dame was the man in their hometown,
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: four star, five star guys, and so they're so used
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 1: to everybody kind of patting them on the ass all
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 1: the time. Now they come in, things are faster, They're
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: making a lot of mistakes. It's one thing I noticed
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: with football players, it's very difficult to instill accountability. And
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 1: have you noticed that be an issue with like kind
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: of this new era of nil at all?
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 13: I think, I mean a lot depends on how you're raised, right,
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 13: and and are you raised to take accountability? Are you
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 13: raised to look at yourself and not blame others? But
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 13: it's an everyday message in our program, right, And I
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 13: think there's parallels between making the choice to put Notre
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 13: Dame in front of yourself, which we all have to
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 13: do if we want to achieve the goals we want, right,
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 13: and then saying, okay, if I choose to be selfless
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 13: and putting Notre Dame in front of myself. I can
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 13: blame myself help when we don't have success, right, And
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 13: it's my job to get him to understand why that's
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 13: so important, no matter if your role was the Scout
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 13: team linebacker or offensive lineman or you either starting quarterback.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 13: When we have failure, what do I have to do?
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 13: Where did I fail? As the head coach? Where did
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 13: I fail? And when we have success to be able
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 13: to say, you know what, quarterback, good job, But I'm
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 13: going to tell the Scout team offensive lineman, great job too.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 13: We've gotten away from players of the game. We've gotten
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 13: away from game balls because it kind of was mixed
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 13: messaging with what I believe in Your role doesn't determine
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 13: your value in our program? Well, why am I going
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 13: to give the game ball to CJ. Car because he
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 13: threw three touchdowns? But the Scout Team dB that did
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 13: exactly what he was supposed to do every single day
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 13: all week long, that gave him that Look, why doesn't
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 13: he deserve a game ball?
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 13: And so I've kind of like we have to put
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 13: Notre Dame in front of ourselves, right, And I think
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 13: there's parallels between that and having it out ability.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 2: Dude, CJ. How about for you, like when he's sitting
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 2: there talking about accountability or those moments when you realize
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 2: like it's about patting your old line on the ass,
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 2: like learning about that leadership, Like at what age do
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 2: you feel like you started to figure out that there
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 2: was more to the game than just your overall performance,
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 2: and that the way you carry your body language, the
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 2: way when you say things to your coaches like how
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 2: guys kind of feed off of that to where you realize, oh,
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 2: I'm influencing everybody around me, not just myself. When do
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 2: you feel like you were you started learning that and
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 2: picking that up?
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the growing up my dad, you know, he played
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 7: quarterback at a really high level. And I'm from a
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 7: coach's family. He coached, my grandpa coached, and so I've
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 7: kind of heard the message like as a quarterback, it's
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 7: always your fault and whether that's good or bad. And
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 7: so you know, for me, when I don't achieve success
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 7: with the team out there, like I feel like I'm
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 7: very hard on myself and I think the locker room
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 7: is too, Like there isn't a bunch of pointing fingers
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 7: when we're down there, it's it's it's usually you know, hey,
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 7: this was on me and and here's why, and and uh,
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 7: let's go out there and fix it. And you know,
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 7: we're so close as a as a unit that we
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 7: can get on one another when it is like, hey
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 7: this is this is your fault or your fault is
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 7: it's you just don't see a lot of that in
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 7: this offense and on this team. Excuse me, on this team.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 7: And it's fun to be a part of just you know,
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 7: everyone is playing for each other.
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like there was an age that it
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 2: ever started to click though, Cause it's always like, you know,
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: if your dad saying it, your dad could be the
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 2: greatest player of all time, but it's still your dad.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 2: So a lot of the things you can go through
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 2: one year out the other. But do you feel like
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 2: there was an age to where that started to click
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 2: for you because all of us growing up, like I
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 2: was an offensive player, Like growing up you want to
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 2: score touchdowns. You think like, yo, I'm I'm the man,
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 2: I'm doing my job, I'm playing the best to where
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 2: you know, whether it was in high school or whenever
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 2: it be, to where it clicked for me that like, okay,
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 2: I can kind of see what either whether it's coach,
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 2: whether it's dad, whether t whoever is kind of talk
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: talking about the way I kind of carry myself or
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 2: taking the extra step to like go, you know, cheer
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 2: on or encourage somebody else around you. Like at what
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 2: age do you feel like that started to click for you?
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 2: From when you went, you know, I'm CJ car, I'm
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 2: the man. I'm doing all this stuff too. This involves
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 2: a lot more around me than just me.
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 7: Growing up, I had the message my dad always you know,
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 7: I was I played baseball a bunch growing up, and
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 7: every time I struck out or wasn't pitching or made
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 7: an air in the field, I would cry immediately. From
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 7: like ages you know, eight, this is what twelve, you what,
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 7: I was in tears, balling my eyes out, and it
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 7: would just piss my dad off so much, and he
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 7: hated being out there with me crying and so no
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 7: and so body language was like a huge thing that
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 7: was kind of you know, drilled into me from a
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 7: young age. And you know, I just ignored him for
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 7: four years because I was still crying throughout those those ages.
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 7: But he had like this poster outside of his door,
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 7: and it was like the definition of mental toughness. And
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 7: it was developing a mindset where you will not make
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 7: or accept an excuse for lack of success. And every
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 7: time I made an excuse or cried in baseball, he
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 7: would just like door now, like have me just recite
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 7: it over and over and over again and and so so, uh,
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 7: body language was was a big thing for me, and
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 7: and him saying, you know, if you want to be
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 7: the quarterback, you can't be out here in tears, looking
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 7: like a baby on the mount like you want to
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 7: you want you say you want to go, you know,
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 7: play quarterback, and all the eyes around you and you're
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 7: crying right now, like you can't. You can't be a
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 7: quarterback like that. And so that was the stuff that
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 7: was kind of instilled in me at a young age.
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 7: And I still that's.
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 13: Good to hear it, because like I just got done
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 13: raving about his mom, Tammy Carr, Mama there, like I didn't.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 13: Your dad's the most quiet, soft spoken guy, but in
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 13: the hell.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 7: He's yeah, they don't. You don't see no, no, you don't.
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 2: See im mess with that. So so so follow like
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 2: a whole before you stop crying.
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 7: So it was like my parents weren't. I didn't play
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 7: tackle football till seventh grade, so I don't know what
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 7: age that is. But the year before that, I'm still crying.
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 7: I'm in sixth grade, like crying over striking out in baseball.
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 7: And my dad was like, all right, you're gonna play
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 7: this year a baseball and if you cry one time,
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 7: you're not playing football. And I never cried again.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 13: Listen, play wiffleball on Fridays before the game and I
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 13: strike him out all the timeball? You think, right, but
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 13: you don't cry anymore. It's a good time about you.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 13: You've never striked you out free?
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 7: That's a lie? Are You're right?
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 1: My faults?
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 7: Who strikes all the times off? You're gonna lie on
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 7: a podcastcause you don't even look like you're telling the
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 7: true Stop it right now. That's that's the sound that
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 7: he's been so, you know, nice And then that's the
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 7: sound of someone lying.
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: That's the sound of somebody lying. He's gonna yesterday and shovel.
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 7: By yourself like I'm not good in rockout or what
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 7: do you call it? Bump like I can't. I'm not
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 7: a basketball player. So you're telling me you did tell
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 7: trying to shoot the best, but you're telling me you're
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 7: a good ball player. You're saying that on podcasts. Home
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 7: runs every Friday.
• 2:14:15
  Speaker 1: Is there any film with this that we can there's.
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 13: Shoot it to us. I'll get you something this year. Yeah,
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 13: that's our thing Friday, little wiffleball. They were mad I
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 13: kept hitting home runs. So now they brought out a
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 13: little strike zone and like they throw crazy pitches.
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 7: Now see I mean now we've changed the the sound changes.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 7: You know. I used to hit a bunch of home
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 7: runs until they brought out this. That's mental toughness. That's
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 7: an excuse of go to the door.
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 1: For you as a head coach, of like evaluating how
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 1: to coach different players. Like one thing I noticed with
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 1: the great coaches they understand how to coach certain guys
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: based on their personality. How long did it take you
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 1: to realize, like, Okay, I can kind of get after
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: this guy a little bit as opposed to this guy
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 1: who have kind of a massage into it.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it took some time, but at the end of
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 13: the day, it's understanding that you want to get the
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 13: players that you coach to play at their highest level.
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 13: And if player X doesn't respond to the way you're
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 13: coaching or yelling at him and playing at a better level,
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 13: then you're crazy just to keep yelling and screaming at
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 13: anymore or being really nice. Now, if if player why
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 13: responds better to you yelling and challenging them, then then
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 13: you got to figure out what each player needs to
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 13: ultimately go out there and perform at their highest level.
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 13: And I think that it takes time, it takes investment,
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 13: but it's understanding, put your ego aside as a coach
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 13: and understand what your player needs to perform better. Right,
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 13: We're going to correct you no matter what. How does
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 13: this correction need to take place? How do you handle correction?
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 13: You know, for me, my father's military right twenty six
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 13: years Air Force, Like it was black and white and
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 13: there was not much a discussion. So that's how it
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 13: was ray. So if you yelled at me and you're shirtless, okay, yeah,
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 13: certain players don't respond like that, and so coach them
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 13: in the ways that are going to get them to
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 13: perform at their highest level.
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 2: What were some off that like, what were some bad
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 2: habits that you look back on that you used to
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 2: have as a head coach because when I was Washington
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 2: we had Sean McVay was the OC. I remember asking him, like,
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 2: what do you feel like the hardest thing is like
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 2: when he was about to go into the head coaching
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 2: search and everything else, and his response was like coaching
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 2: players that aren't that wasn't the way I was like
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 2: on this connecting with different guys, Like, now that you
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 2: are where you are, what do you look back on
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 2: where you had some where you see old habits that
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 2: you're like, man, why did I do it like that
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 2: with some of these players?
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 13: You know, I started coaching when I was twenty four
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 13: and you know, now being forty, I think you mature
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 13: with time. You coach players differently. You don't you're not
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 13: trying to beat buddy, but you're ultimately trying to impact them, right,
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 13: And I think that's what I've learned more than anything,
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 13: is like, how do I find ways to impact not
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 13: to get this guy to like me, but to impact
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 13: him in a way that he's better because I coached him.
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 13: And I think that's a great point to coach what
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 13: they made Like not everybody responds to coaching the way
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 13: you do, and you have to understand this isn't about you.
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 13: It's about impacting those people you coach. And I think
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 13: it just but it takes time and investment. It takes
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 13: true intentional time to figure out what this person needs
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 13: as a coach.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: Did you ever, like have a hard time with having
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: being a coach twenty four year old coach and trying
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 1: to like not get the guys to like you, or
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 1: not being okay with them not liking you in certain ways?
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I think it was laid out to
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 13: me very clear when I started being a graduate assistant
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 13: that hey, you played with a lot of these guys
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 13: and they're not your buddies. Right, you have a job
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 13: to do. And I'll tell you this real quick. I
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 13: got into coaching because I wanted to stay around football.
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 13: Right at one year in NFL is like, man, I
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 13: want to stay around football. I want to coach. And
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 13: very quickly I learned, like what gives a coach the
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 13: greatest gratification is when you help someone have success. I
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 13: helped this kid, gave him a tip defensend to help
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 13: him get a sack, and my memory came over and
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 13: chest bumped me, and it was like, that's it. That's
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 13: what coaching is. It's not I could be doing I
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 13: just happened. No football, it could be any sport, it
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 13: could be anything. It'd be a teacher. But investing in
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 13: somebody and seeing him have success, that's for me is
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 13: what's it's all about.
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 1: I love that we got a couple of fans.
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 7: Oh man.
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 1: This comes from Alex de Michelle tier one, Alex deve Michelle.
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: Would you recruit this guy to play a full back
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 1: for the Fighting Irish? I believe this question is for you, coach.
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 1: This is the individual in question. Would you recruit that?
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's got dick neck.
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 2: I mean it looks like Bros ninety tell man, I
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 2: do it was like a rival seminar, I do, got
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 2: my phone. I'm telling you I should.
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 2: I love the Huskers though, like that is that's number one. Forever,
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 2: never went forever. But there was a heart going on.
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 2: There was a love in my heart. That's being a
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 2: little like recaptured. And I'm remembering those old vibes and
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 2: that the great feelings I did have. When I think
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 2: of the Irish, I was very salty.
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: When you think about that individually, looking at full back,
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 1: what do you think about this guy?
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 13: Meeting him in the whole ray I'm winning thirty one National.
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 7: I don't think I knew that.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 1: He was way scarier in that photo.
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, let me see the photo that was the free
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 7: photos that get through the way.
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 13: Different, like when I can't remember, like, what's the guy
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 13: that played linebacker at Miami not Vilma.
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 7: DJ Williams. Remember that name?
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 13: So he had a body and like I remember that
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 13: was the thing, like you played linebacker. Maybe it was
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 13: a black thing. I don't know, like you ring, we
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 13: had to wear the neck roll. I got rid of
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 13: it my senior year. Yeah, but my junior year I did.
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 13: And like we chose to go bald, and then we're
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 13: even in college. It was a couple of times, me
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 13: and Lauren Itis and some of our guys who chose.
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 7: To go bald. And then you go, all right, I
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 7: don't want to go bald man.
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 2: Now that you got a barbershop in your house. Yeah,

• 2:20:32
  Speaker 7: If I could, if my buddies wouldn't just constantly make
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 7: fun of me. I would go. I would go ball too.
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 7: It's just easy. It's consistent. You wake up every day,
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 7: it's the same. I don't gotta worry about it.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 2: How about how about this gentleman right here?
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 7: He should have been at Notre Dame.
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 1: That's a good that patches in the middle right on.
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 7: Normal all American? What does that say that American?
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, didn't have any offers till my senior year. Three games, Scott, really,
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 1: three game? Were you skinny? I mean it was literally
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 1: the same weight I am right now, two fifty four.
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 1: That was like what I was going into my freshman
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: year at Michigan. But I only played off at the
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 1: line my senior year.
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 13: So I get to Notre Dame. You know, he reminds
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 13: me of the Joe Olt I mean tight end in
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 13: high school. Came into Notre Dame.
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 7: We came at the same time, I mean two sixty right,
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 7: and became a dude. Yeah, it's good, thanks man. I
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 7: would recruit it. You would you have? Yeah? Yeah, would bloom?
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 2: I think you would have gave Notre Dame. Oh yeah,
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 2: I would have.
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 1: I would have took a visit coach free seeing now
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 1: with the fab his house, I would have drink the
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 1: cool yeah, playing ump out and he correct me.
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 2: But I guess it's I guess it's all right. We
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 2: have some uh, we have some fan questions here.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 1: Also we have fan questions. Yeah, go ahead, Okay. This
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 1: one comes from Caleb P.
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 2: Matthew. What separates Notre Dame's locker room culture compared to
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 2: other schools that you've been at.
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 13: I just think these guys are really close. And we
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 13: say the brotherhood, but it organically happens because this is
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 13: a small school, right, nine thousand students. It's not a
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 13: big campus, so they're organically close to each other. They
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 13: hang out in the locker room a lot. You're always
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 13: guys here, and so I think that helps promote that closeness.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 13: I remember I used drive fifteen minutes from campus. Right,
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 13: There's been places when you're in a big city, a
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 13: lot of guys live a drive away. These guys all
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 13: live within a mile from here, so they hang out
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 13: a lot in city.
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 2: Way too many things to do, like so I've been
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, not not like a shop, but not like
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 2: a whole lot as a small town guy, not a
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 2: whole lot to do to where the main thing can
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 2: be the main thing that makes sense.
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 7: That's a nice way to put it. Yeah, yeah, the linebacker.
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they got the linebacker. They got to be once.
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 7: We've been there.
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 2: We've been once.
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 7: I've never been there.
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 2: It was great, you've never been. No, we'll take you some.
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 13: Time, Shang Guiller said, because that's what I was like,
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 13: I've never been a lineback. You said, if you win
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 13: a national championship, we're going to the linebacker.
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 2: Jane Gillis took us to Taco Bell.
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 1: Of all the fans that you guys that are fans

• 2:23:22
  Speaker 2: He loves.
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: How cool is it meeting Vince Vaughn?
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 7: It's crazy?

  Speaker 2: the Hot State. Yeah, because we first drove down or
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 2: not we Notre Dame first drove down and I was like,
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 2: we got to take the three here and they went
• 2:24:10

  Speaker 13: a gad for Jean Smith, who is our athletic director
• 2:27:01

• 2:34:44
  Speaker 2: I got some good ones here from Parker Hockey Worst
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 2: Recruiting story in your career.
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 13: Oh, I remember I was at Cincinnati when we were recruiting.
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 13: His kid named Tank something, I can't remember his last name,
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 13: and the head of our recruiting had this great idea like, hey,
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 13: you should dress up in military fatigues a big like
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 13: military hat, like a big hard hat, and I did.
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 13: It was a vest and I was like, all right, man.
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 13: And so I'm sitting in this military outfit. I'm sure
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 13: there's pictures of it, and this kid, Tank walks, what's up, Tank?
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 13: And He's like, what are you wearing? And I'm like,
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 13: this is for you. He ends up, He ends up
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 13: going to uh. I think he's going to Maryland and
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 13: he went somewhere. He didn't come to Cincinnati. And I'm like,
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 13: never again.
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 7: And I ever.
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 2: That was you?
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 1: Is that outfit that did it?
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 7: No? Yeah, I probably probly thought.
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 13: I was like this weird dude, like I'm not coming
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 13: to play for him. But that was the last time
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 13: I dressed up.
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 7: CEG.
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 2: Did you ever have a coach try to recruit you
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 2: and do something crazy without saying names or team. You
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 2: can say names or teams if you want.
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 7: I had a pretty normal recruiting process people really didn't
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 7: recruit me a bunch. I think a lot of people
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 7: just thought I was gonna go to Michigan in and
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 7: so I didn't have many crazy recruiting stories like that,
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 7: and these guys recruited me really hard. But yeah, it
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 7: was pretty pretty boring any.
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 2: Any team or a staff member do something like above
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 2: and beyond. It made you kind of like chuckle about
• 2:36:18
  Speaker 2: I think this could be a little o D. I
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 2: do love and appreciate it.
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 7: When, uh, when Tommy Reese was was here, he recruited me.
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 7: He was my main recruiter, and when I committed, this
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 7: definitely didn't He texted me a video of the fire
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 7: alarm going off in the goog and like made it
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 7: sound like they pulled it when I committed, and it
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 7: was like the car alarm there. And at the time
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 7: I was like, oh, that's the coolest thing ever. But
• 2:36:44
  Speaker 7: like looking back, that definitely wasn't. Definitely just like it
• 2:36:49
  Speaker 7: just happened. So that was that was pretty cool that uh,
• 2:36:53
  Speaker 7: that that happened. I thought that was special.
• 2:36:54
  Speaker 2: I love the game of recruiting, man, whatever it takes,

• 2:39:05
  Speaker 13: can wrestle, you know what I mean? Yeah, I didn't
• 2:39:08
  Speaker 13: wrestle with that level, and so I'm I believe.
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 2: You guys had You guys have had a couple of
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 2: wrestling matches.
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 13: Nice maybe, you know, but I've learned, even with my son,
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 13: like you, gotta be smart, I refuse to lose. I'm
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 13: gonna pick and choose the right battles. I don't want
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 13: to wrestle my son, but I'll hand fight with him
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 13: a little bit and do stuff like that.
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 2: You know, you're just in a Hallway or something. Though,
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 2: it's not gonna go anything further than because I'll get
• 2:39:33
  Speaker 2: like scrap. He takes me down, like I'm gonna really
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 2: get bad. We don't want that have to happen at
• 2:39:37
  Speaker 2: the Freeman House. That might be why the Little Best
• 2:39:41
  Speaker 2: shuffle Board, Yeah, that's my movie. Why it's a little
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 2: It's a little Yeah. I was really the foundation playing
• 2:39:49
  Speaker 2: Has everyone safe in here? Is what I was worried about.
• 2:39:54
  Speaker 1: Why has it Notre Dame entered a conference and has
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 1: there been a conversation about that?
• 2:40:01
  Speaker 2: Really, listen, that's.
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 7: That's why it happened.
• 2:40:07
  Speaker 1: Here's what I Here's why I break it up. One,
• 2:40:10
  Speaker 1: that's a great question. But two, the haters, they're one
• 2:40:14
  Speaker 1: of their big remarks about not making the playoffs, like, well,
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 1: if you guys were in a conference, X, Y, and Z,
• 2:40:18
  Speaker 1: what happened, you'd have the opportunity because you'd be in
• 2:40:20
  Speaker 1: a power for conference.
• 2:40:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:40:23
  Speaker 13: I think there's there's advantages to being in conference and
• 2:40:27
  Speaker 13: there's advantages not being in a conference.
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 7: There's a lot.
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 13: Of of positive things that, trust me, that nobody was
• 2:40:34
  Speaker 13: complaining about when we made the playoffs the year before,
• 2:40:37
  Speaker 13: right and the independence we look at it as a
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 13: positive right.
• 2:40:42
  Speaker 7: And if there's a listen, we lost two games and
• 2:40:46
  Speaker 7: it make playoffs.
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 13: And so if our administration ever feels like we are
• 2:40:52
  Speaker 13: truly at a competitive disadvantage by not being in a conference,
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 13: I'm sure that we'll join a conference.
• 2:40:58
  Speaker 7: But we're just.
• 2:41:02
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't lost two games. It's a great answer question
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 1: he did. He hated everything about it the whole time
• 2:41:09
  Speaker 1: he's answering the question. I can just feel like Katie
• 2:41:11
  Speaker 1: being like, we're gonna cut the We're not, We're not
• 2:41:14
  Speaker 1: doing that question.
• 2:41:15
  Speaker 2: Who's the tall guy? What's his name? Again?
• 2:41:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, make sure he can't come.
• 2:41:20
  Speaker 7: The thank you.
• 2:41:22
  Speaker 2: We asked everybody this question on the podcast, and that
• 2:41:25
  Speaker 2: question is CJ will start with you boys.
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 1: We all know we do anything for an ice school
• 2:41:31
  Speaker 1: bud light. We're about to ask Marcus Freeman, well he

• 2:41:41
  Speaker 7: I know, all right?
• 2:41:42
  Speaker 2: Can be an ambition.

• 2:43:02
  Speaker 1: black and white and a multitude of other colors. Let's
• 2:43:06
  Speaker 1: get back to this episode. So Clump just asked you.
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the moms, but you have so many guys
• 2:43:11
  Speaker 1: on the team that are sons of NFL players. How
• 2:43:14
  Speaker 1: do you handle all that?
• 2:43:15
  Speaker 13: Wes' just because their dad's playing in the NFL don't mean
• 2:43:19
  Speaker 13: the moms don't help make the decision.
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 7: I'll start with that.
• 2:43:21
  Speaker 13: But it started with the couple guys that their dad's
• 2:43:26
  Speaker 13: played at Notre Dame that played in the NFL. The
• 2:43:29
  Speaker 13: Bettics Flanagan, Brian Young, his son Bryce, and and I
• 2:43:36
  Speaker 13: remember having a meeting scene if I can't convince you
• 2:43:38
  Speaker 13: three to choose Notre Dame when your dad's your fathers
• 2:43:42
  Speaker 13: are the greatest example of what Notre Dame represents in
• 2:43:44
  Speaker 13: terms of in football and beyond. Then I said, we're
• 2:43:46
  Speaker 13: gonna struggle with Notre Dame, and I can't recruit if
• 2:43:50
  Speaker 13: we can't convention. Those three started it, and then you know,
• 2:43:54
  Speaker 13: Jordan Clark, Ryan Clark's son came, and then you got
• 2:43:57
  Speaker 13: the Elijah Burris whose dad is Blaxico burs And and
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 13: then this year we got Cayden Finley, we got Devin Fitzgerald,
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 13: and I'm missing one. Thomas Davis already got the Bettest.
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 13: You say, yeah, So I say that because now I
• 2:44:17
  Speaker 13: think there's there might be some parallels right that they say, Okay,
• 2:44:21
  Speaker 13: guys that have grown up like me, uh that that
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 13: are at Notre Dame. But here's the other thing I
• 2:44:26
  Speaker 13: think they see every day with their fathers that the
• 2:44:30
  Speaker 13: game of football ends. And that's a big thing we
• 2:44:33
  Speaker 13: sell here, is like we're gonna get you to as
• 2:44:36
  Speaker 13: high as your God given ability can take you. Right,
• 2:44:39
  Speaker 13: I know you guys have as versus being pro football
• 2:44:42
  Speaker 13: hall of famers. If that's how good your talent is,
• 2:44:44
  Speaker 13: We're going to develop you. And you got as great
• 2:44:46
  Speaker 13: as an opportunity to do it here as anywhere else
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 13: but Notre Dame. The education prepares you for life after
• 2:44:52
  Speaker 13: football too, and you see it with your own eyes
• 2:44:54
  Speaker 13: with your fathers, like the game ends. And so I
• 2:44:57
  Speaker 13: think they understand that because they see the life after.
• 2:45:00
  Speaker 7: The game of football and with their fathers.
• 2:45:04
  Speaker 2: I love it. Yeah, same fellows, anything else, ke have
• 2:45:06

• 2:45:56
  Speaker 1: still like the golf carts for the families, and golf
• 2:45:58
  Speaker 1: carts are great. Something fun me about a two seater though,

  Speaker 1: there's you gotta think about the social ass.
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 7: Do you have to get everyone a two seater? Do
