2:19
Speaker 1: where I was like like a week before yeah, and
2:22
Speaker 1: I was like I'm a little nervous, but like whatever.
2:23
Speaker 1: And then I was like, how can I do something
2:26
Speaker 1: a little different? So I'm like, I'm not getting a ring.
2:28
Speaker 1: Everyone else is getting their ring. What if I just
2:31
Speaker 1: put like a ring pop in my purse, just if
2:34
Speaker 1: if the moment strikes and I take it out. And
2:37
Speaker 1: there were some great reactions. The boys loved it. Um,
2:40
Speaker 1: a lot of people loved it. So yeah, I think
2:42
Speaker 1: it was a successful night. It was awesome. It was
2:44
Speaker 1: so cool to see, you know, people like Robert Woods
2:47
Speaker 1: was there, got to get his ring. Von Miller like
2:50
Speaker 1: got up on the DJ table and was like, j
2:53
Speaker 1: outfit so good. Everyone looks so good. Everyone was amazing style. Yeah,
2:58
Speaker 1: it was awesome. Are you pissed it all? A mere
3:01
Speaker 1: few months before? If you had taken that job, you
3:03
Speaker 1: would have a ring. I'm extra pist because you know, well,
3:07
Speaker 1: you know, lift up the kimono a little bit. Just
3:10
Speaker 1: let me just pick up my kimono real quick. About
3:14
Speaker 1: a year ago, this offer was presented to me and
3:17
Speaker 1: I said no, because you know, some things we're in
3:21
Speaker 1: the works already with split ends, with with Colleen rest
3:24
Speaker 1: in piece of split ends. Um. But I was like, oh,
3:27
Speaker 1: just like you know what, timing isn't right. I'm just
3:29
Speaker 1: not ready for this, And sitting at that ring ceremony,
3:32
Speaker 1: beautiful cater ring, people walking around with sushi and this
3:36
Speaker 1: and that and the open bar and everyone getting the
3:40
Speaker 1: beautiful things, and I'm just like, I'm a sucker. I'm
3:45
Speaker 1: hear a new color. Yeah, hey, um, okay, do you
3:48
Speaker 1: guys like my ring puff? No? But so yeah, yeah,
3:50
Speaker 1: I'm pissed. Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but but
3:53
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for you, and I'm watching the things
3:55
Speaker 1: that you're doing because you're so talented and creative. Um,
3:59
Speaker 1: but let me tell you some thing today. I'm I'm
4:01
Speaker 1: a little pissed. I'm sorry to like literally take such
4:03
Speaker 1: a hard left turn, but it needs to be talked about.
4:05
Speaker 1: And I want you to sit here and talk with
4:07
Speaker 1: me because we're ladies, and we're ladies who are pissed
4:11
Speaker 1: today because we all I literally woke up to a
4:14
Speaker 1: thousand text messages on my phone just with like the
4:17
Speaker 1: words six games. Deshaun Watson is getting suspended for six games.
4:21
Speaker 1: I think we all pretty much thought it was going
4:23
Speaker 1: to be at least a year. Like, I don't know
4:25
Speaker 1: how we got to this place of six games in
4:28
Speaker 1: this number. Oh, I'm just like so exhausted, dude. I
4:35
Speaker 1: want to play a clip that literally makes me so angry.
4:39
Speaker 1: This is a video of Deshaun Watson showing up to
4:42
Speaker 1: Brown's training camp. I just want you guys to listen
4:44
Speaker 1: to Cleveland's reaction to him showing up. I love you. Wow,
4:59
Speaker 1: does it just scrinder? Like I literally have had my
5:02
Speaker 1: jaw clenched all day? Yeah, it is. It's been a
5:05
Speaker 1: you should be embarrassed dude, Like, oh it is. It
5:09
Speaker 1: is completely frustrating as a woman, as a football fan,
5:12
Speaker 1: as a human, as a human being, And it's like
5:14
Speaker 1: hard for me to understand because my first gut reaction
5:17
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this isn't from the NFL. This is
5:20
Speaker 1: the NFL PA's judge that they so there still could
5:24
Speaker 1: I'm not sure necessarily yes, So the NFL has three
5:31
Speaker 1: days to decide if they're going to appeal this decision.
5:34
Speaker 1: If they do appeal it, it'll basically be up to
5:36
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell or whoever Roger Goodell appoints to decide. So
5:40
Speaker 1: the NFL could end up doing what we all believe
5:43
Speaker 1: is the right thing here and suspending him for a year.
5:46
Speaker 1: But if they do, the Players Association is going to
5:48
Speaker 1: fight it like crazy and it could get into It's
5:51
Speaker 1: going to be a mess either way. And this has
5:53
Speaker 1: been a mess the entire time, and as football fans,
5:56
Speaker 1: as women, it has been just incredibly disappointing. Our co worker,
6:00
Speaker 1: you know what, You know, we were talking about how
6:02
Speaker 1: much we love working for NFL network. I really really
6:05
Speaker 1: just want to say how incredible, how proud I feel
6:09
Speaker 1: for working for this network that they encourage us to
6:11
Speaker 1: use our voices and speak up when things don't feel
6:14
Speaker 1: right to us. And our coworker, you're old co worker,
6:18
Speaker 1: Kyle Brant a Good Morning Football had some really smart
6:21
Speaker 1: things to say this morning, and I would like to
6:22
Speaker 1: play that clip if we can let it go. Frankly,
6:24
Speaker 1: scept for me to see six games based on what
6:26
Speaker 1: I've read, what I've experienced over all, this time six games,
6:29
Speaker 1: not only six games, forty five million dollars signing bonus, untouched,
6:34
Speaker 1: forty six million dollars salary for this year, untouched, not
6:37
Speaker 1: dinged at all. And I thought it was interesting. Our
6:39
Speaker 1: reporter Judy Batista brought up earlier we're talking about different
6:42
Speaker 1: comps and pressings and things like that, and she mentioned
6:44
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger who was suspending six games. And Roethlisberger had
6:47
Speaker 1: a single accuser who accused him of doing something on
6:50
Speaker 1: a single night, and it was six games. This is
6:54
Speaker 1: thirty women, and I know that's not how many were
6:56
Speaker 1: presented to the Arborer. I don't care. I'm talking about
6:58
Speaker 1: reality here. Thirty women over several months. And for the
7:02
Speaker 1: people who are speaking up for to Shaun or maybe
7:06
Speaker 1: apologize for what is the take at this point, because
7:10
Speaker 1: if anybody is still clinging to these wild, ludicrous conspiracy
7:13
Speaker 1: theories about these thirty women, got together and decide, I
7:15
Speaker 1: just don't buy it at all. Does it not say, well,
7:18
Speaker 1: you read that The New York Times said he met
7:19
Speaker 1: with sixty six women over seventeen months about being a
7:24
Speaker 1: potential massus. As I said earlier, at best, something inappropriate,
7:29
Speaker 1: At worst, something reprehensible. Wow, really well said. I texted
7:33
Speaker 1: Kyle as soon as I watched that and I said,
7:35
Speaker 1: thank you so much for speaking up on such a
7:38
Speaker 1: large platform and saying the words that you did. It
7:40
Speaker 1: meant a lot to a lot of people, including myself.
7:43
Speaker 1: So Kyle again shout out to you are an incredib
7:45
Speaker 1: amazing for me. But what I really wanted to touch on,
7:48
Speaker 1: like what he said, like what is the take? What
7:52
Speaker 1: is the take at this point is no angle? And
7:54
Speaker 1: it goes to I think it is a you know,
7:57
Speaker 1: Cleveland fans are desperate to win, and I think that
8:00
Speaker 1: there unfortunately is a subset of men out there that
8:05
Speaker 1: feel that this is just an excuse to get this
8:08
Speaker 1: you know amazing quote unquote you know on the field
8:12
Speaker 1: quarterback to play their sport and play with it. And
8:16
Speaker 1: it's it is so frustrating as a as a woman
8:21
Speaker 1: to see that you can have thirty people come together.
8:23
Speaker 1: They're always saying, be brave, speak up, be who you
8:26
Speaker 1: need to be. But at the end of the day,
8:29
Speaker 1: it doesn't really really matter. And I was very interested
8:33
Speaker 1: to be to be frank here here I am working
8:35
Speaker 1: for the Rams. They are sort of making me an
8:37
Speaker 1: extension of the Rams. I am talent, I you're representing
8:40
Speaker 1: the team, right. So I was very kind of concerned
8:44
Speaker 1: when I when I got up this morning and just
8:46
Speaker 1: sort of how am I going to handle today and
8:48
Speaker 1: what am I going to be you know, allowed to
8:50
Speaker 1: talk about. And I've been very reassured. Erica, you say
8:53
Speaker 1: what you need to say and how you feel, and
8:56
Speaker 1: we support you. And I just feel so grateful to
8:59
Speaker 1: be working for an organization that was very much like Erica,
9:02
Speaker 1: you say what you need to say. But I just
9:05
Speaker 1: think of people here we are at training camp or
9:08
Speaker 1: sitting the fields behind us, and I think about the
9:11
Speaker 1: people that are going out and capturing content today when
9:13
Speaker 1: they woke up, when you know they're working for the team,
9:16
Speaker 1: they knew this was coming, but with all of this
9:18
Speaker 1: going down, and then it's only six games and you're
9:21
Speaker 1: you're there, that's your job. What are you supposed to do?
9:24
Speaker 1: Just put that behind you? And I just I feel
9:27
Speaker 1: for those people that have bills to pay, that have
9:30
Speaker 1: to do their jobs that are there. But then I
9:32
Speaker 1: feel more sorry and just hurt for victims all over. Dude.
9:38
Speaker 1: Then that's what I kind of wanted to talk about.
9:39
Speaker 1: Like I was watching that video of these like people
9:42
Speaker 1: in the crowd cheering, and I'm sure it wasn't just man,
9:44
Speaker 1: it was you know, freaking judge that made this decision
9:47
Speaker 1: as a woman like you, so frustrating. Um, I was
9:51
Speaker 1: just thinking of like if I were at that, I
9:54
Speaker 1: love the Browns, right where's your team? Team? I can't
9:57
Speaker 1: imagine sitting in that stand. I'm a survivor of sexual assault.
10:02
Speaker 1: I can't imagine sitting in the stand and hearing people
10:04
Speaker 1: cheer for him right that. I am heartbroken to think
10:09
Speaker 1: of anybody the statistics of women being sexually assaulted is disgusting.
10:13
Speaker 1: There were people in that crowd that have had to
10:16
Speaker 1: deal with things, I guarantee you that, and they have
10:19
Speaker 1: to deal with all of these people now cheering him on.
10:21
Speaker 1: But back to what Kyle was saying, like, what is
10:25
Speaker 1: the take if you are defending Deshaun Watson at this point?
10:28
Speaker 1: I know what the take is. Football is more important
10:31
Speaker 1: than being a human being at this point. If you are,
10:35
Speaker 1: if you are cheering for deshaunts, I'm sorry it is
10:37
Speaker 1: this going to piss off a lot of people. If
10:39
Speaker 1: you're cheering for Deshaun Watson this year and you don't
10:41
Speaker 1: care then you have no life. Yeah, all you care
10:46
Speaker 1: about is football, and football is a beautiful thing. Don't
10:50
Speaker 1: get me wrong. I literally work for the league. I
10:52
Speaker 1: love football so much, and I've fallen in love with
10:54
Speaker 1: it recently. So it's not like it's something that I've
10:57
Speaker 1: just like can't get right up with and like had
10:59
Speaker 1: in my life, and like, no, I am actively choosing
11:01
Speaker 1: as an adult to be a fan of football. I
11:03
Speaker 1: love it. It brings me a ton of joy. But
11:06
Speaker 1: if you are saying that that is more important than
11:11
Speaker 1: being a decent human being, being somebody that respects women
11:14
Speaker 1: like I just and that's kind of like I'm eccuing
11:18
Speaker 1: what Kyle said because he couldn't have said it better.
11:20
Speaker 1: I just I just don't understand what the take is
11:23
Speaker 1: at this point. And this has been an absolute nightmare.
11:25
Speaker 1: I was so excited for this season on so many levels.
11:29
Speaker 1: We had we were gonna have Baker healthy, we were
11:31
Speaker 1: gonna have this incredible team. That's another thing that bums
11:33
Speaker 1: me out is like this team is so good, right,
11:37
Speaker 1: You've got Miles, You've got Nick Chubb, You've got all
11:40
Speaker 1: of these incredible players. Kevin Stefanski I loved. I got
11:43
Speaker 1: to meet for the first time at the combine, and
11:45
Speaker 1: I was so excited to meet him. Right, You've got
11:48
Speaker 1: all of these pieces that are gonna and they are
11:50
Speaker 1: all gonna suffer from this. Yeah, and it is. It
11:53
Speaker 1: is super disappointing, and I can only hope that the
11:56
Speaker 1: NFL does does the right thing. And you know, to
12:01
Speaker 1: those that have been sexually assaulted, to those that haven't
12:05
Speaker 1: but that feel, you know, just human beings, like I've
12:10
Speaker 1: my message out there and it's just like I want
12:13
Speaker 1: people to feel heard. And it just sucks when we're like, say,
12:17
Speaker 1: you know, be brave, say your truth. You know you're
12:20
Speaker 1: going to get this support, and then you just get
12:22
Speaker 1: slapped across the face because it doesn't matter. And it
12:25
Speaker 1: makes me stick to my stomach. Yeah. Well, okay, so
12:27
Speaker 1: this decision isn't like completely final. We're going to wait
12:29
Speaker 1: and see if the NFL appeals. We obviously hope that
12:33
Speaker 1: they do. I think that it's really important to have
12:36
Speaker 1: your voices heard, whether you are a athlete, you are
12:39
Speaker 1: a football player, you're Kyle Brandt, you're somebody that literally
12:42
Speaker 1: just has a Twitter handle, it's really important to talk
12:45
Speaker 1: about how upsetting this is and how important it is
12:47
Speaker 1: that you know, things change and that we get better
12:51
Speaker 1: and grow because it's like so much from this year.
12:53
Speaker 1: I keep on asking myself like I'm sorry, what year
12:56
Speaker 1: is it? Oh my god, have we not like evolved
12:58
Speaker 1: and like progressed like also and and talk about a
13:01
Speaker 1: really you know that's totally inappropriate for me to take
13:04
Speaker 1: away left more turn than then this conversation. Oh boy,
13:07
Speaker 1: here we go. So last night, I'm in the hotel
13:10
Speaker 1: and I see a commercial for Dawn, like dish soap. Yeah,
13:13
Speaker 1: and it's a squeegee so you can just leave it
13:16
Speaker 1: face down, so you know how soap At the end
13:18
Speaker 1: you have to flip it over and kind of balance it.
13:20
Speaker 1: And it's a squeegee that you just pick it up
13:23
Speaker 1: and it's already upside down. And I'm like, it took
13:25
Speaker 1: till twenty twenty two for someone to invent this? What
13:28
Speaker 1: year is this? And that's how that's a matrix situation.
13:32
Speaker 1: I know this is not trying to joke about, but
13:34
Speaker 1: like also right, things that are going on right, Like
13:37
Speaker 1: I cannot believe it, and I am so many manner
13:39
Speaker 1: in my dams being like can we get married so
13:42
Speaker 1: I can't have a green card and just moved to Canada,
13:43
Speaker 1: Like we don't even have to talk. Yeah, that sounds great.
13:46
Speaker 1: You should. You should open like you know, I would
13:49
Speaker 1: love a green car. Sorry jet, Oh my god, Brad Farm,
13:53
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that you had to come on the
13:54
Speaker 1: pot and talk about this. Oh no, I I'm glad
13:56
Speaker 1: to be able to talk about it. And I feel
13:59
Speaker 1: very fortunate in it that we get this platform to
14:02
Speaker 1: be able to talk about it. And I think that
14:04
Speaker 1: it's important for people like us, for Kyle Brands, for
14:07
Speaker 1: people that actually not putting that our opinions are anywhere
14:10
Speaker 1: above anyone else's. But when we have the ability to
14:13
Speaker 1: reach out to more people like I want the takeaway
14:16
Speaker 1: to be like we need to keep speaking up and
14:18
Speaker 1: and just hope that one day, yeah, something will change. Um, well,
14:22
Speaker 1: ladies and men, all of you guys, we we love you,
14:25
Speaker 1: and we send you a piece and hugs and let's
14:28
Speaker 1: um get back to good times and footballs. Yeah, so

Speaker 1: the squeegee. See see, let me tell you we're gonna
14:35
Speaker 1: be right back with more guests. But um, you know,
14:38
Speaker 1: let's talk about the squeege. So it's actually already it's
14:41
Speaker 1: already upside down. So you know, when you get to

Speaker 1: Kind of guy or are you like up on the
15:56
Speaker 1: mantel kind of guy. That thing is so large. I
15:59
Speaker 1: don't I think five pounds. Yeah, I don't know if
16:03
Speaker 1: it's five pounds, but yeah, it's just one of those
16:06
Speaker 1: things I don't think you could wear in public. Think.
16:08
Speaker 1: I think you gotta pull it out every once in
16:10
Speaker 1: a while, like you go to somebody's wedding or you know,
16:13
Speaker 1: just casually have it on your hand. It will be
16:15
Speaker 1: I think it'll have to evolve organically. Where do we
16:19
Speaker 1: wear the ring? But it's not on an airplane. Not
16:21
Speaker 1: on an airplane now, because you have to like put it.
16:24
Speaker 1: Everybody then would know. It would be just no, when
16:26
Speaker 1: you sit on airplane, everybody would know what is that?
16:28
Speaker 1: Let's yeah, I'm not to talk to the neighbor. I
16:32
Speaker 1: never mind, and now would be an automatic conversation. You're right,
16:36
Speaker 1: I'm like headphones on, maybe even like an eyepatch. Yes,
16:39
Speaker 1: do not communicate to me please. Um okay, So I
16:43
Speaker 1: really want to ask you about the draft video that
16:46
Speaker 1: happened because it absolutely exploded. I'm sure you're tired of
16:49
Speaker 1: talking about it, but did you think they didn't have
16:51
Speaker 1: me in it? It would not have exploded. That's not true.
16:54
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're an excellent actor. Did you so, Josh
16:57
Speaker 1: Holloway played you right? Did you have any kind of
17:00
Speaker 1: input in the casting? Oh? It was. It was great.
17:04
Speaker 1: And it started off I can say that you'd send
17:07
Speaker 1: an email and it was like okay, so and so
17:11
Speaker 1: is gonna play me. I'm like, okay, that's cool. Then
17:14
Speaker 1: it was like okay, can't do it. So and so,
17:17
Speaker 1: oh yeah that's but then it got to a point
17:20
Speaker 1: where it was like, wait a minute, I've never heard
17:23
Speaker 1: it waited no. So that's when my wife Kara would
17:26
Speaker 1: come in and go, no, you really want this guy.
17:29
Speaker 1: So she was because I'm not in tune. So the
17:33
Speaker 1: people I was relating to, they were like their old
17:35
Speaker 1: school can you can you? Can you tell us who
17:37
Speaker 1: you wanted to play? Well, the first name, the first
17:40
Speaker 1: name that came across was Matthew McConaughey. So that's how
17:44
Speaker 1: I was. No. So I went to my teenage daughter,
17:48
Speaker 1: so probably six days out of the week. I'm not
17:52
Speaker 1: cool at all. So I was like, hey, look, looks
17:56
Speaker 1: who's gonna play your dad. Then it was like, oh,
17:59
Speaker 1: then guess what she does? Probably takes a screenshot and
18:03
Speaker 1: sends it talks it to her friends, and so that's
18:05
Speaker 1: then I was cool. So that was but I had
18:08
Speaker 1: I had I had knew Josh from two things. I
18:11
Speaker 1: knew him from a lost and then he was this
18:14
Speaker 1: villain on on Yellowstone all the way. I'm kind of
18:19
Speaker 1: he was a villain. I'm kind of I guess I'm
18:21
Speaker 1: I'm a Dutton fan, so he was anti Duck. I
18:23
Speaker 1: love that. Have you thought about growing your hair out
18:26
Speaker 1: to match his? Not to look that would be he
18:30
Speaker 1: probably pulls it off better all the way. I went
18:33
Speaker 1: through a stage probably even when I've been at GM
18:36
Speaker 1: and I was in the early forties where I had
18:39
Speaker 1: longer hair, so that that seems more like, yeah, fifties,
18:43
Speaker 1: doesn't Okay, I feel like you guys. First off, it's
18:45
Speaker 1: gonna be so hard to top that video because it
18:47
Speaker 1: was so good. You can't top that. But don't you
18:50
Speaker 1: just go if you were out there. We need a
18:53
Speaker 1: part two, and he needs to be in it because
18:55
Speaker 1: people are going to look back at this video and
18:57
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I want to be in the next one.
18:58
Speaker 1: How did he come together? When did you first find
19:00
Speaker 1: out about this? I think I'm sure there was a brainstorm,
19:04
Speaker 1: so but our chief marketing officer officer catch, she's the
19:08
Speaker 1: one that was, Okay, this is what we're gonna do.
19:11
Speaker 1: This is this was her vision, and I'm sure her
19:13
Speaker 1: team's a vision. So I'm not going to give her
19:15
Speaker 1: just all the credit. She could tell us who But
19:18
Speaker 1: so she's the one that thought that, Okay, based on
19:22
Speaker 1: everything that's occurred, right, our brand, you know, our locale,
19:27
Speaker 1: this would be a way to somewhat make a splash,
19:30
Speaker 1: you know, continue evolving our brand, keeping it cool, keeping
19:34
Speaker 1: it keeping it very cool in a non football right.
19:38
Speaker 1: We didn't have to win a game for that, although
19:39
Speaker 1: I don't know. I always what if we hadn't won
19:42
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? We're still going to hit send on
19:44
Speaker 1: that one. Oh, that is a good question, I would hope.
19:46
Speaker 1: So it's still be very fun. Um. Okay, So this Friday,
19:50
Speaker 1: there is a big flag football game that's happening behind
19:53
Speaker 1: us that I am actually going to be playing in.
19:56
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I don't even know who's team
19:57
Speaker 1: I'm on, but I'm either on Aaron's team or Jalen's team.
20:01
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you a couple of mete
20:04
Speaker 1: those teams comment and then we're gonna decide the Fifth Amendment. Please, no,
20:08
Speaker 1: let me just ask you a question. Okay, you're the
20:10
Speaker 1: boss here. I want to know who whose team should
20:13
Speaker 1: I be fighting to be on between the two of them? Okay,
20:16
Speaker 1: so who do you think would be the better coach?
20:20
Speaker 1: The better coach? So let me ask you this, what
20:22
Speaker 1: style of coach do you want? Do you want to
20:25
Speaker 1: be or do you want more of a stoic I
20:30
Speaker 1: want to bud. I want to Bud. Want something that's
20:32
Speaker 1: gonna be nice me because I'm not gonna get no,
20:33
Speaker 1: I might even get hurt. So I think has a
20:38
Speaker 1: chance to be a little more loving. Okay, okay, who
20:43
Speaker 1: would you say he's gonna pull you? Uh, Jalen's gonna
20:46
Speaker 1: push you? So okay, well that also sounds cool. Um,
20:49
Speaker 1: who do you think would throw the better after party
20:53
Speaker 1: after the win that? Orfore, who's throwing the best celebration?
21:00
Speaker 1: I would say this before I would have I would
21:04
Speaker 1: have normally it's it's might be a tie. Now I'm
21:06
Speaker 1: gonna give Aaron's wife, Erica credit. Before Erica, it's definitely Jalen.
21:15
Speaker 1: But Eric coming in, she's bringing out a little more
21:18
Speaker 1: and so it's a tie. Right now. Okay, but I
21:23
Speaker 1: think what I'm hearing is you're leaning towards I think
21:26
Speaker 1: it's I think it's one you could say that's even okay.
21:30
Speaker 1: Who do you think is gonna have the better music?
21:32
Speaker 1: Who's gonna have the better locker room vibe? Man, that's
21:36
Speaker 1: a that's almost a plead ignorance better locker room? Yeah,
21:41
Speaker 1: who's gonna be you know? Positive? I think that you
21:44
Speaker 1: said Jalen's gonna be intense. He's gonna be like, I
21:48
Speaker 1: don't know if there's in the locker room, it's intense.
21:51
Speaker 1: So right now again, yeah, you're going to win the game. Yeah,
21:55
Speaker 1: there's no loss is not an option. Losing is not
21:58
Speaker 1: an option. It's not This isn't about fun with those two.
22:00
Speaker 1: I think you although they're probably gonna totally go in
22:04
Speaker 1: verse one eighty and it'll they'll both have a blast.
22:06
Speaker 1: I think that you did a really good job. I
22:07
Speaker 1: think that it's very even. You didn't play you didn't
22:09
Speaker 1: play favorites here and I'm going to be happy with
22:12
Speaker 1: And they're bigger, stronger, meaner than me. So let's talk
22:16
Speaker 1: about this season. You guys have a super Bowl ring
22:18
Speaker 1: now going into this season. How do you how do
22:20
Speaker 1: you feel as there sometimes they're gonna be a little
22:22
Speaker 1: bit of a hangover. What do you are you feeling
22:24
Speaker 1: really positive about this year? It's one hell of a
22:26
Speaker 1: hangover if that's what it is. Last it's but you know,
22:29
Speaker 1: I think you think of it every day. Okay, we're
22:31
Speaker 1: a super Bowl chance, but the close as soon as
22:34
Speaker 1: you come out here, yeah, as soon as you probably
22:37
Speaker 1: get closer to playing the Buffalo Bills. I mean, I
22:40
Speaker 1: don't think winning a super Bowl in twenty twenty one
22:44
Speaker 1: is going to affect that game. Yeah, so you bet
22:47
Speaker 1: we better be dialed in no time for a hangover.
22:50
Speaker 1: You guys had a target on your back already, right, Yes,
22:53
Speaker 1: So if there's any hangover remedies, we need to get
22:56
Speaker 1: on that possible. But I do think just getting back
22:58
Speaker 1: football right, getting back to getting back to the nuts
23:01
Speaker 1: and bolts, people trying to get better, people trying to
23:04
Speaker 1: win jobs, keep jobs, all of those things. Yeah, that's
23:07
Speaker 1: just a natural way of coming back to earth. I'm
23:11
Speaker 1: gonna show you one more thing and I'm gonna let
23:12
Speaker 1: you go. Okay, this past weekend, I was at a wedding. Okay,
23:16
Speaker 1: and don't judge my screen because it's all cracked and
23:18
Speaker 1: we don't need to go there. All right? Are is
23:20
Speaker 1: that a wedding? And the toss happened? And I want
23:25
Speaker 1: you if you if you saw this at all costs,
23:28
Speaker 1: if you saw this film of a player, Okay, I
23:30
Speaker 1: just want to know if you would be interested in
23:33
Speaker 1: in signing said player. All right, let's me on the
23:34
Speaker 1: left there, okay, taken down immediately, immediate takedown. I'm a
23:44
Speaker 1: little bit of a rough player. Would you want me
23:46
Speaker 1: a part of that team? Let's thank you so much
23:49
Speaker 1: for your time, good luck this year, and I'm available
23:52
Speaker 1: as you just saw so awesome. I'll be on the time,
23:56
Speaker 1: all right, Guys, Like I told you, this show is
23:58
Speaker 1: packed coming up next on the pot. I don't know
24:01
Speaker 1: why we've gotten so lucky today, but we've got all
24:03
Speaker 1: of these great, glorious guests. And I cannot wait to
24:06
Speaker 1: talk to this next guy because um, he proposed at
24:09
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and I want to know all the
24:11
Speaker 1: juicy details about it. Ram Safety, Taylor Rap, what's up, dude?
24:16
Speaker 1: Feel great? Yeah, it's good to be back out here.
24:18
Speaker 1: You know, it was a very very short offseason for US.
24:21
Speaker 1: I think they said it was the shortest offseason in
24:24
Speaker 1: NFL history. Um, and longest season for US too with
24:28
Speaker 1: with the extra game, right Super Bowl. So, um, you know,
24:31
Speaker 1: it's just great to be back out here running around
24:33
Speaker 1: and you know, just being around these guys and stuff,
24:36
Speaker 1: coaches and stuff. Uh, you know, best coaching staff, best
24:40
Speaker 1: players in the world. So it's it's definitely, it's definitely
24:43
Speaker 1: great to be back out here. Everyone famously says at
24:46
Speaker 1: this point in the season, like, I'm in the best
24:48
Speaker 1: shape of my life going into training camp. How do
24:51
Speaker 1: you feel physically right now? Uh? Yeah, I would probably
24:54
Speaker 1: agree with that. Um, you know we we uh, definitely
24:58
Speaker 1: pick up training and the summer's I'm you know, just
25:01
Speaker 1: getting ready for out here in training camp, so you
25:04
Speaker 1: know the last month, you know, everyone's been grinding and
25:07
Speaker 1: run the league getting ready for training camp. So I
25:09
Speaker 1: would probably agree with that. Um, you just got a
25:12
Speaker 1: ring last week. Yeah, how was that celebration ceremony? Did
25:17
Speaker 1: you feel a little rough for a few days after?
25:19
Speaker 1: What was it? Yeah? It was it was great. Um.
25:22
Speaker 1: I actually didn't get to go to the ring ceremony,
25:25
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, my one of my dogs had an
25:28
Speaker 1: emergency room. No, you got to drop everything for the dogs. Yeah,
25:32
Speaker 1: rings it all first. Yeah, so we had to rush
25:35
Speaker 1: her in. She uh, she had to get emergency surgery.
25:39
Speaker 1: She's all good, Okay, she's good. So I just I
25:41
Speaker 1: got my ring. Actually a few days ago they brought
25:44
Speaker 1: they brought it. They brought it to the hotel. So
25:45
Speaker 1: oh they didn't roll out of like a red carpet
25:47
Speaker 1: or anything for you. But it's it's beautiful. It's uh
25:50
Speaker 1: you know, they say it's like it has the most
25:52
Speaker 1: most diamonds. It was. It was heavy, Yeah, it was
25:54
Speaker 1: definitely heavy. Are you a kind of like what where
25:58
Speaker 1: would you wear that ring too? In real life? Well?
26:01
Speaker 1: I know that you got engaged, which we will talk
26:03
Speaker 1: about in a second. Congratulations. Would you wear that on
26:05
Speaker 1: your wedding day? Probably not, honestly, that's such a flex though.
26:11
Speaker 1: Let me take off this ring you put on another. Honestly,
26:14
Speaker 1: I don't know any occasion where where I can throw
26:16
Speaker 1: that thing off. I don't know. Less was just here
26:20
Speaker 1: and he was talking about how if there's one place
26:22
Speaker 1: he's not going to wear it is on an airplane
26:23
Speaker 1: because just too many people would ask questions. Yeah, so
26:27
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even wear it in public? No, really, Um, Okay,
26:31
Speaker 1: Well let's talk about the other ring. You got engaged
26:34
Speaker 1: right after you won the super Bowl, which, like I
26:36
Speaker 1: gotta give a shout out to like literally anybody in
26:39
Speaker 1: your life that is going to propose, because they have
26:40
Speaker 1: to deal with that knowing that you did that after
26:43
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, They're like, how am I possibly going
26:45
Speaker 1: to talk this? But yeah, what what was your did
26:48
Speaker 1: you first off, would you have still done it if
26:51
Speaker 1: you lost? No? Did you have a backup plan? Well?
26:56
Speaker 1: The the it was the original plan. I was actually
26:58
Speaker 1: gonna propose. We had a trip to Hawaii. We go
27:01
Speaker 1: to Hawaii every off season. It's like our second home. So, um,
27:05
Speaker 1: I was originally going to propose out there, and so
27:08
Speaker 1: I was having um my guy who was doing the ring,
27:11
Speaker 1: the custom ring, Um, he said, it wouldn't have been.
27:14
Speaker 1: It wouldn't it's not ready. Um and so I just like,
27:18
Speaker 1: you know, I was like, after we beat the Niners
27:21
Speaker 1: NFC Championship, I you know, just the thought came in
27:25
Speaker 1: my dad. I was like, you know what, like what
27:27
Speaker 1: if what if I just do it? Like after we
27:29
Speaker 1: were super Like I might never get this opportunity ever again. Um,
27:33
Speaker 1: So I like asked him. I was like I hit
27:34
Speaker 1: him up and I was like, hey, any chance, like
27:36
Speaker 1: you get it done, like I'll pay whatever you whatever
27:38
Speaker 1: to rush it whatever. And he's like, I don't know.
27:41
Speaker 1: So it was funny story. Funny story actually, so he actually, um,
27:47
Speaker 1: I think it was the Saturday when we were heading
27:50
Speaker 1: to the hotel. Saturday evening we go to our team
27:52
Speaker 1: hotel whatever state of the night, um over an Englewood
27:55
Speaker 1: or actually uh Manhattan Beach um. And so he said
28:00
Speaker 1: he was delivering it Saturday and we were leaving at
28:03
Speaker 1: think like five o'clock, six o'clock to go down there
28:05
Speaker 1: for meetings whatever for the night, and um, it actually
28:09
Speaker 1: didn't get delivered until like thirty minutes before I had
28:13
Speaker 1: to go stop it. Like I had a whole backup
28:15
Speaker 1: plan too, Like I was going to head to the
28:17
Speaker 1: hotel and then like my family was going to come in.
28:19
Speaker 1: I was gonna tell my family, um to come get it,
28:22
Speaker 1: and like I had a shipped too, obviously my neighbor's
28:25
Speaker 1: house too because obviously my my fiance at the time
28:28
Speaker 1: she could she couldn't see. Yeah, I had a whole plan.
28:31
Speaker 1: But this Super Bowl win that much more impressive that
28:34
Speaker 1: you were juggling all of this other drama. Were you
28:36
Speaker 1: thinking about it at all during the game, Like you're
28:39
Speaker 1: literally in the biggest moment of your life and then
28:41
Speaker 1: you're about to have another biggest moment of your life
28:44
Speaker 1: immediately after, right, Yeah, you know, to be honest, like
28:47
Speaker 1: kind of dealing with all that and like juggling all
28:50
Speaker 1: that like around the Super Bowl, like you kind of
28:52
Speaker 1: like eased my mind like around the game, if that
28:56
Speaker 1: makes anything. Yeah, this is way less obviously, It's like
29:01
Speaker 1: the biggest game of your life, like possibly every that
29:03
Speaker 1: you could play in. So like, you know, I just
29:06
Speaker 1: you know, I tend to like you know, overthink and
29:09
Speaker 1: like overprepare. Like sometimes that can be you know, worse. Yeah,
29:13
Speaker 1: Like it was kind of nice. You know, I took
29:15
Speaker 1: care of business for the game, and like, you know,
29:17
Speaker 1: I was prepared. We did all the work for the
29:19
Speaker 1: last two weeks and then like kind of just getting
29:22
Speaker 1: my mind off of the game a little bit, like
29:24
Speaker 1: in a few days leading up to it. It It was
29:27
Speaker 1: it was kind of nice. What an insane flex that
29:29
Speaker 1: your distraction, what was keeping you grounded about your engagement
29:33
Speaker 1: was winning a super Bowl. That's amazing. Okay, one more
29:36
Speaker 1: question before I let you go, I'm playing in the
29:39
Speaker 1: flag football game that's happening on Friday. I'm very concerned
29:42
Speaker 1: about it, but I'm asking I don't I don't know
29:44
Speaker 1: whose team I'm on yet. It's between I think Aaron
29:47
Speaker 1: is one of the captains and Jalen is one of
29:49
Speaker 1: the captains. So I want to ask you a couple
29:51
Speaker 1: of questions, because you spend so much time with these guys.
29:53
Speaker 1: If I have a choice, I want to know who's
29:56
Speaker 1: going to be best suited for my set of skills.
29:58
Speaker 1: So I'll ask you a couple of questions. Okay, gotcha?
30:00
Speaker 1: Who would have better snacks in the locker room? Oh?
30:04
Speaker 1: J Jaylen ad he's got to keep it tight. Oh
30:08
Speaker 1: that's he is. Yeah, yeah, Jayalen will have good snacks
30:13
Speaker 1: in there. Okay, that's a good point. I love that.
30:15
Speaker 1: Who's gonna have the better music? I gotta go with
30:18
Speaker 1: Jayalen on that too. D DV you know dvs stick
30:21
Speaker 1: together that same music. Um, who's gonna have the better
30:27
Speaker 1: celebration afterwards? Who's throwing the better party? Oh that's a
30:31
Speaker 1: tough one. I would go with either one there, Yeah,
30:37
Speaker 1: I'm safe. Probably both going to have great after parties. Okay,
30:40
Speaker 1: who would be the better coach? Who would be a
30:42
Speaker 1: better coach? Yeah, just you know style one would be
30:46
Speaker 1: like pressure, you know, like he he probably wants like
30:51
Speaker 1: you know, big dudes get after the quarterback, Jal. You know,
30:55
Speaker 1: more coverage obviously is a DV and stuff like that.
30:58
Speaker 1: So you look like you look like you you can cover.
31:00
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna hurt myself. I think I think I'm
